THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Laughing ] Well, look at that. I didn’t even have to order this year. They just knew to deliver the pizza. Hi. I rolled the dice, and I brought some with me. Oh, my… ah, the pizza’s here. Thank god. I’m famished. Oh, the pizza’s here. Drew? Good. At least someone in the family still recognizes me. I’M… home. Oh! Dante: Uh, danny and scout are asleep. I put rocco in the spare room, if that’s okay. Alright. Thank you. I didn’t say anything about jason, but I think they know something’s going on. Why? Because we didn’t go to the quartermaines’ for thanksgiving dinner? Yeah, yeah. I guess danny thought dinner was just gonna be ruined like usual and he was looking forward to having some pizza. Pizza.

[ Sighs ] Great. I ordered turkey burgers. Dr. Obrecht:

[ Panting, whimpering ] Mother. Wake up. Britta, laufen! Wake up.

[ Sighs ]

Madchen? You were having a nightmare.

[ Monitor beeping ] I was back in that tunnel. And you, britta? Any nightmares? I’m good. I’m more worried about you. Why didn’t you tell me how lightheaded you felt after the tunnel collapsed? Running around, taking care of me when you knew you were injured yourself? You, mein liebling, were more important. Stay a little. We haven’t really talked since leaving that cursed island. You need rest, mother, not visitors. I just popped my head in to see how you were doing. Go back to sleep. No more nightmares. I’ll try. And I hope none for you, either.

[ Crying ] Sonny: Watch your back,

alright?

‘Cause peter august

is bad news.

Yeah, I’m gonna

be careful.

You always say that.

I’ll do my best.

[ Sobbing ]

“Dr. Westbourne, the printer on the third floor west nurses’ station desk needs to be replaced.” “Please send to dr. Randolph.” “Dr. Westbourne, attached, please find…” “please forward to dr. Randolph.” “To staff… please forward all of your requests to dr. Terry randolph as, at the moment, I am a total mess and completely incapable of making any decisions.”

[ Typing ]

[ Sighs ] Dr. Westbourne, you were just on the 10th floor, and now you’re here. How’d you do that? What do you want, doctor? I guess what I want is to know what’s wrong and if there’s something I can do to help. I still can’t believe that it wasn’t a plane crash — that you were abducted by peter august. And fought for two years to come home. I mean, if you hadn’t managed to get a hold of that guard’s cellphone and call sam… you could still be in that hellhole. I-I don’t understand. Why wouldn’t sam tell us that you called her? Please don’t blame sam. She — she really was just trying to protect all of you until she knew for sure that I was alive. Believe me, there was many days where even I didn’t think that I was gonna make it back. Well, I wish jason could be here to share this thanksgiving pizza, but he, uh — he’s gotta be with his children. Hello? Is there something you’re not saying? What my rescue cost this family.

[ Sniffles ] Did I wake the kids? No, no. They’re fast asleep. Even rocco. I thought he’d be up playing video games.

[ Sighs ] Thank god for small favors. Now I’ve got to just clean this up. No. No, you don’T. No. No.

[ Sighs ] Just go and sit down, stare into space. Eat. I don’t know, cry. Do whatever you feel like you need to do to feel better. Throw another glass. I think I got the whole “throwing glasses” thing out of my system. I had such tunnel vision when I was talking to drew. All I wanted was for scout’s father to come home to her. Never in a million years did I think that it would come at the cost of jason losing his life. And now scout’s father is alive, and danny’s father is dead. Is this some sort of cosmic joke or something? Well, if it is,it’s a pretty awful one. I’ve gotta tell my son that his father is gone. Is danny gonna hate scout because her father lived and his father died? No. No, come on. Look. Danny, he’s not gonna waste his energy with hate. You know why? ‘Cause he’s got this amazing mother. So does scout. And you’re gonna love them so much, and you’re gonna teach them there’s no room in their lives for hate.

[ Sighs ] What did your connections in greece say? Uh, well, it seems like they confirmed anna’s story that there wa– the tunnel under the house collapsed. Everybody got out but jason, and they still haven’t found the body. That means jason could still be alive, sonny. The — the team, they have equipment, and they couldn’t — they couldn’t hear jason’s heartbeat in the tunnel, so they’re — they’re — they’re gonna stop the rescue operation. And jason…is dead. No. They told me the same thing about you, and it turned out to not be true. They did. I want to believe jason’s still out there, too, carly. I mean, we thought he was dead before and he came back to us, right? Yes, he has. Are you trying to give yourself hope or — or — or me? What — what are you doing here? Sonny. When you were lost after that bridge collapsed, I could hear you calling to me. I could feel that you were still alive. Right. You were the lady in white that I wanted to — i needed to see. Because we were connected. We had a connection. I could feel you. It was everyone else that kept telling me you were gone. Everyone kept saying it. Are you saying the same thing about jason — that you think there’s hope? That’s what I want to believe.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ] Britta, if that’s you again, there’s nothing wrong with me that sleeping in my own bed won’t fix. Ah, what about the guy who loves you?

[ Gasps ] Scott! Welcome back, my schnitzel.

[ Gasps ] Turn around, walk out the door, and pretend I wasn’t here. And if you tell anyone what you saw, I’ll have you fired. Your secret’s safe with me. But the next time you want to have yourself a good cry, maybe you’ll want to shut the door. Thanks for the unwanted advice. I’m gonna take a guess now about what some of these larger emotions might be about. No. It’s thanksgiving, and no one’s invited you to dinner, and so you’re sitting here feeling sorry for yourself. Join the club. Oh, yeah? Well, wh– what’s going on with you? Couldn’t make it on the elq board, unable to — to honor your late, lamented father. Boo hoo hoo. Sticks and stones. It’s been a very challenging couple of days, to be honest. The quartermaines stuck a knife in my back, and then they twisted it. They invited me to thanksgiving dinner. The horror. And in the middle of this, I think I might have screwed up the only real friendship that I have in this terrible town. Are you referring to maxie? What happened? Do you want me to talk to her? No. Thank you, though. Thank you. No. I’ll — I’ll figure it out. I’ll make amends. What’s going on? Why are you sitting here crying instead of splitting the wishbone with someone? The first person I cared to split a wishbone with in a long time… is gone. And he died saving my life. In my last months at the compound, I finally had some contact with the other prisoners — probably more accurate to call them hostages. Anyway, there was a very nice young woman. There was a nurse who was abducted in the middle of her life, and — and liesl obrecht. Scott baldwin was shouting from the rooftops that dr. Obrecht was missing. Britt westbourne convinced jason to help her find her mother. And that search led them to cassadine island. Monica: Oh. Well, that’s probably why I haven’t heard from jason in a while. He didn’t want to raise my hopes up about you being alive. Monica. Jason and britt did everything that they possibly could to get me home, but… …in the process, jason… uh, jason, um… he’s gone, isn’t he? Isn’t he? Jason’s gone? We would be crazy to give up hope that jason’s alive. I mean, I’ve known jason since practically the moment he became jason, even before I knew you. So I can’t give up hope. I mean, jason is the most important person… to us.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] I know, I know. I was supposed to be home hours ago. I’m sorry. Everything ran late. Um… okay. Who died? Oh, my god. Who died? We need to talk to you. I’m — I’m so incredibly sorry, monica. There was nothing left of the last place that I saw jason. It was just a pile of rocks and beams and… they had — they had crews on site, um, within an hour and they had — they had their scanning equipment there and… they couldn’t, uh — they couldn’t pick up a heartbeat. Look, jason died bringing me back home to you, but I want you to know, I promise you, that if I knew what my freedom cost you — cost all of you, I-I would never have taken that deal. Don’t you ever say anything like that again. You and jason are both my sons in every way that matters. One doesn’t count more than the other. Oh. [ Crying ]

He must have s was, mber –I remember how happy jason was, dancing at his reception. He and carly were having a wonderful time, and he was even — he was socializing. I was really impressed by that. I-I think he would have stayed for the whole thing if I hadn’t — if I hadn’t gone in and told them to just slip away and go start their lives together.

[ Voice breaking ] Then he told me that he loved me.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Carly. And sonny. This is just gonna kill them. I mean, jason was like a brother to sonny, and… carly and jason, I mean… and they said — carly and jason said it was a business arrangement, but you — you saw the two of them together and you knew — you knew it was more than that. Josslyn: But it’s jason. He must have survived, just like you did. He was buried under rock when the tunnel collapsed. There were witnesses.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] Have you told michael? I’m waiting to tell him in person, just like we did with you. There’s a media blackout for the next 24 hours to give anybody close to jason privacy and not to give peter august the publicity that he’s craving. Okay. Michael, willow, and wylie are gonna be back tomorrow. We’re gonna tell them then. I can’t believe this is happening. I — I really can’T. Not to jason. Come here. Come here.

[ Sobs ] Thank you. For what? For saying that there’s enough room in my kids’ life for love. Well, it’s true. You’re an incredible mother, sam. Please don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Really? Yeah. Despite my family being dysfunctional? And I’m talking about the family that I grew up with, not the family that I have now, which in their own right, they are equally as dysfunctional. Despite all your family dysfunctions, you turned out to be an incredible person. Says the guy who is not so objective. Well, I know you put your kids before your love for jason when you showed him the door. It’s because jason went and cut ties with sonny. And I understood that. And I also understood that there would always be a threat that he would be arrested again or put in the middle of one of sonny’s very violent rivals. And I had to do what was best for my kids and keep them out of harm’s way. Mm-hmm. I’m objective to know that that was a — a good move. We both know that jason is the kind of person that would put his life first to save someone else. But I needed someone in my family who would think twice before doing that. Good for you. You know, in the end, I — I knew that this is how it was gonna go for jason. And if I’m being completely honest with you, if we were still together, there is no way I would be able to recover from it.

[ Sighs ] I remember the first day he ever became my son. Scott baldwin, of all people, was his guardian at the time, and we — we went to the gatehouse to check on him, and he was the most beautiful baby. The minute I took him in my arms, he just — he stole my heart. I’d see him occasionally dropping off danny to play with leo or to come talk to you or michael or… michael. [ Sighs ]

[ Brook lynn sighs ] Do we tell him? Let him know what happened? No, let’s let, uh, michael and willow have a good time in new york with wiley. Besides, I think, uh… I think carly would want to be the one to tell him. And I’m not going to have any new memories of jason. Just remember the conversations that we had. The good part is that every time we were together… I told him I loved him. All my memories of jason are so full of anger and…resentment and… now that we started to finally connect as brothers, he’s gone.

[ Sighs ] What are you looking for? I’m looking for, like, a kewpie doll or, like, a — like a little betta fish or some — some — some kind of prize that I can give to you for the saddest thanksgiving story. Sorry. That’s inappropriate? I make these jokes. They’re not always funny. I’m sorry. It’s like a — it’s a default coping mechanism is what it is. Same here. [ Laughs ] Hasn’t always won me a ton of friends, but I’d prefer your mordant humor over tearful hugs any day. Who was it? Jason morgan. Oh, I’m — I’m sorry. You’re…sort of family, aren’t you? Cousins, half-cousins, something like that. I’m not sure. I — I never really got to know the guy. I mean, we had a conversation at the gym one time and, yeah, I was maxie’s plus one at his wedding. Okay, now it’s my turn to apologize. I’m sorry. I was a little confused, you know. I-I got the sense that there was something going on between you and jason, and then he up and married carly. Yeah, I thought jason and i had something special. We did, actually. But he married carly, and I’m still struggling to understand why. Well, if that’s the only thing in this world that you’re struggling to understand, you’re way ahead of me. Well, the thing is, I… I never thought jason would die before me. How’d you figure that?

 

 

Oh! [ Chuckles ] I can’t believe I was chucked out of a plane. Being abducted to greece. Yes, and all the other calamities that would have killed the average joe. You survived. So did you. Well, you know. Love conquers all. That’s what they say. Yeah, I didn’t used to believe that, but I think it’s true. You keep talking like that, I will demand to be released from my bed and spend time in yours. Why make that journey? I don’t know what I mean. My brain is a big, muddled mess. Jason was a hitman for the mob. Uh, alleged hitman. But you had to figure, you know, given his career choices and his line of work, that he would be the first one to go. Okay, this is inappropriate again. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Don’t apologize. I appreciate honesty over platitudes. The thing is [Sighs] Uh, jason’s body hasn’t been recovered yet, but I know he’s gone. You’re a doctor. You’ve worked in trauma. And you know. We both know that every life ends. Doesn’t matter how much you hope. I’m not a particularly hopeful person anyway. But there’s no wishing away several tons of rock. I’m gonna go home, and I’m gonna order a turkey burger and some sweet potato fries. And…you like football? You’re welcome to join me. I’m gonna stream all the games. Uh… thank you. But there’s something that I have to go do. Peter had us, um, chained up in a — in a wine cellar. We were literally chained to a wall, and ironically, those were the best conversations jason and I ever had. I mean, mostly, we were just talking about how to bring down peter, but we also — we just — we just talked. Told him about playing football in high school. He told me about the time he rode a motorcycle into the house.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yeah. I remember that. Grandfather was furious. We were just finally starting to get to know each other, you know, starting to trust each other. When — when peter activated my conditioning, it was jason that brought me out of it. We were — we were starting to really team up, you know, be the brothers that we were meant to be. Hey. Drew, that is something to be grateful for. I just… I just wasted so much time resenting him. Until cassadine island, until I really was able to, like, respect him. Wholeheartedly. And now I got no future with jason at all. I mean, he’s gone. Just as we were starting to connect as brothers and — and as friends. I’m sorry for crying all over your blouse. Are you kidding? I’m your mom. You can cry on me any time. You want something to eat? We haven’t eaten. If you want, I’ll make you something. No, I think I’m just gonna go upstairs. I love you both. I love you, too.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] I forgot how important jason was to her. I mean, he was important to all of us, but… alright. Listen, um, you know…

[ Crying ] You gonna be alright? Yeah. [ Laughs ] Yeah. I’m gonna go upstairs and, uh… read donna a bedtime story. You give her a kiss for me. Yeah. Don’t underestimate yourself, sam. You’re strong and resilient, and you would have survived no problem. You — you don’t have to say that just to make me feel better. Have I ever said something just to make you feel better? That’s true. Uh, seems like you got a lot of… thoughts that maybe you want to work through. You have no idea. I have so many thoughts racing through my head, I-I can’t just, like, grab a hold of just one thought right now. Okay, I’m gonna, uh… I’m gonna leave you to it then, okay? Hey, wait. Where are you going? Well, I… just kind of figured you wanted to wrestle through those thoughts in private. Can I leave rocco here for the night? I’ll pick him up in the morning. I’ll — I’ll stop at the quartermaines’. I’ll tell them you said hello. No. Stay. Please. I want you to stay. Sonny: Donna fell asleep before I…

[ Sighs ]

the deaths of those we lovehave taught us anything, it’s to appreciate the family that we have. We’re gonna be grieving for a long time. But I think today, on a day of giving thanks, I’d like to focus on the gratitude I feel for a son coming home to us. To drew. All: To drew. To jason. Are you sure you want me to stay? Well, if you want to go, you — you can go. No, I don’t — I don’t want to go. I just — I just wanted to give you space. There’s enough space here to include you. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said to me in a really long time. Come on, dante. You and I have been through hell and back together, and there is no other shoulder I would like to cry on… than yours. Well, my shoulder will always be here for you. I should go check on bailey. This is usually around the time she wakes up wanting a bottle. Maybe chase would like to see the daughter he only just learned was his. Right. Of course. You can feed her if she’s up. I’d love to. The family’s got a little bigger since I left, huh? Well, that’s, uh, really a refreshing change of pace. I still can’t believe that you are alive and home safe. But how did robert and anna know that peter was hiding out on cassadine island? I don’t really know the details, just that valentin was very helpful. Valentin knows you’re back? Listen, um, I know you — you need to clear your head, but can you do me a favor? Just call me and let me know you’re okay.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Cyrus: Hello, sonny. Cyrus?

[ Sighs ] Um… sorry about that. I, uh, overstepped. No, you didn’T. Yeah. You didn’t overstep. I want this, too. On the plane back to port charles, anna said something about valentin helping her and robert find their way onto cassadine island, so I’m assuming that she told him I’m alive and I’m back home. Why do you ask? Just curious. So, what was the disaster that ruined thanksgiving this year?

[ Laughter ] Well, annabelle ii got to the turkey before we did.

[ Laughs ] Of course she did. She knew there was a tradition to uphold.

[ Laughter ] Well, she’s gonna be over the moon to see you. You wanna go look for her? Come on. Absolutely. Let’s go. Excuse us. Stop. What are you planning? I know that look. Ned? It’s about elq. But I don’t want you to get the wrong impression because I am not backsliding and I’m not prioritizing business over the family. Your face lit up like a firecracker the minute he mentioned valentin’s name. The war isn’t over yet, is it? Liesl. I don’t mean to disturb you. Sorry. Both: Get out! Sorry. I’m so sorry. Sorry. Alrighty. Got to get it how you live it. Good for them.

[ Water flowing ] I only care to know you

in the biblical sense,

and my life is pretty complicated right now, so a boy on the side is about all I can have.

Oh, boy on the side?

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, I don’t know the answer

if it ain’t you

and I don’t really care

jason.

To know the truth

carly.

Jason!

Oh, my god!

Jason.

I promise I’ll always come get you.

I love you so much.

This fantasy for the rest of your life, I want you to count to 10 before you do anything.

Never say goodbye carly: You mattered, from the first moment.

Don’t ever change, don’t ever change

okay. That’s it, right there.

You just pull it up.

My best friend.

You know that?

You’re mine, too. Carly: Wow, I was

a different carly back then.

The one constant has been you

being my friend.

I’ll always be right here

I love you. I love you.

So much.

I don’t wanna dance

[ Gasps ] I can’t believe you’re alive. I missed you so much. I love you so much.

You too. I missed you, too.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god, there’s so much

I want to tell you.

There’s so much

I just want to say to you. Just take a deep breath

and count to 10, okay? Carly: Are you real? I’m here. I need you to remember how important you are to me.

Okay.

[ Grunts, panting ]

I got you.

Jason and i are getting married.

I couldn’t do this if

you weren’t my best friend.

…Ever change, don’t ever change

will you dance with me?

If I had my way I could fall in love with you all over again.

We can get married.

For real.

Spend the rest

of our lives together. Can you make that promise?

Yes, I can. There’s nobody I’d rather build

a life and a future with. I cherish our past. I can’t wait to step into our future together.

Ooh, I’ll always be right here

ooh, I’ll always be right here is that you, cyrus? How’d you get a phone? Oh, don’t you worry about that, sonny. We both know I have my ways. I just thought it would be prudent for me to reach out to you. Oh, yeah? Why’s that? Well, I-I still have my contacts — a few — those who are interested in these sorts of things, and well, I-I heard the news about your best friend, and — and my condolences to you and to your lovely wife. No doubt she’s just as upset as you are. Listen to me, you son of a bitch!

[ Call drops ] Cyrus!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I asked for it. Ew…? Sorry to just show up like this, but, uh, in all fairness, you never returned my call. Oh, my god!

[ Sighs ] Dad, please. It’s thanksgiving. Yes. The day we remember how the pilgrims took advantage of people they should have respected. I thought you said you weren’t blaming chase. I’m not, but I’m allowed to be disappointed — in him and in you. Maybe this was a bad idea. Ned, brook lynn — where are your m ? Invite the man in. He’s a guest. Hello.What, do we live in a barn? Actually, he’s, um, more than a guest.

[ Door closes ] Oh, excuse me. A friend. He’s more than a friend, too. As a matter of fact, um… he’s family. Curtis, hi, it’s me.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, I know that you’re going through a lot right now, but maybe that’s all the more reason for you to come to my house for thanksgiving. There’s gonna be tons of food, good wine.

[ Chuckles ] At least, I hope it’s good wine — that’s what the guy told me.

[ Chuckles ] But most importantly, being around friends

[Voice breaking] And family. So just think about it, and I hope I see you soon. Okay, so first, you stop by to check on a patient, and now you’re racing home to prepare dinner for all of us. What — are you superwoman? Oh, no, no, no, hardly. Y-you want to know my secret? Please. Hire a good caterer.

[ Laughs ] I’ll file that one away.

[ Both laugh ] Trust me, it’s worth it.

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Well, I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone ^and count our blessings.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Me, too. Sounds like you’ve already spoken with my uncle. Yes, yes, uh… I gather curtis didn’t tell you

[Chuckling] About our “conversation.” Should he have? Oh, I-I don’t know. I thought he might have. Never mind. He certainly made it very clear he wants nothing to do with me. Okay, should I call right now and have him explain what’s going on?

[ Chuckling ] No, no, no, no. Don’t call curtis. Maybe — maybe his not reaching out is a good thing. Maybe he’s still thinking things over and hasn’t completely rejected me yet. Maybe. My uncle is one of the smartest man I know. If he’s rejecting you, he has his reasons. Now, sir, I have — I’ve tried to keep an open mind, but it seems to me that you are running some kind of hustle. And if that’s the case, curtis spotted it a mile off. No, I am not hustling you or — or curtis or anyone. Could’ve fooled me. Showing up here with a fake pain in your side…

[ Scoffs, chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah. I’m sorry. I’m sorry about that. I, uh… god, I truly regret the way I’ve gone about this. I, uh… I regret it all. I really should have done everything differently. Carly: And when you’re done delivering these, come back, ’cause I have more. At 100 degrees for 15 minutes, please. Wow, that smells great.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. That’s really thoughtful of you and olivia to do this. Aww, no one works harder than the G.H. Staff, and if they have to be working on thanksgiving away from their family, they should at least have sweet potato and turkey, right?

[ Laughs ] And metro court turkey. A step up from the cafeteria? Just a little. And how about our kids volunteering to pass out dinners? There may have been some prodding on my part.

[ Laughs ] And I’m pretty sure cameron just wants to be with josslyn, but still, they’re doing it. Exactly. We have a lot to be grateful for. We do. Alright. I’ll let you get back to work. Okay. Thanks again. Yeah.

[ Sighs ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ] Britt! Britt. Carly, hi. Hi. When’d you get back? Did you find your mom? We did. Oh, well, wow. I mean, it must have been quite an adventure. Can’t wait for jason to tell me all about it.

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da

[ Sighs ]

[ Knocking ] Hey! Long time, no see. Yeah. Yeah, it’s been a while, huh? What brings you by?

Okay. Do you want to run that by us all again? Well, it would seem that valentin is not bailey’s father. Chase is. Correct. But you did not tell him this — you made him sleuth it out for himself. Also correct. Look, I know this comes as a shock to everyone. Monica: No, not to me, it doesn’T. Nothing in this family shocks me anymore, especially not on the last thursday in november. I just want you to know that I’m not going anywhere. I plan on being the best father I can be. Ned: You’d better. And I brought pie. It’s a — it’s a cake and a pie. It’s like a hybrid. Piecaken. Olivia: Well. It’s a start. Maybe, uh, “change” will be the theme this year, and we’ll actually all eat some turkey.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that didn’t take long. Out with the old, in with the new, right? What was your name again? I’m sorry. You can call me… marshall. Okay. For now. Marshall, we seem to be at an impasse. Clearly, you are distressed about something, but you can’t tell me what. I want to. But I am…

[ Chuckles ] I am second-guessing myself in real time. Everything — everything’s coming out wrong. I — I tend to do that. I jump headfirst and then suffer the consequences later. I don’t blame you for being suspicious. Yeah, well, subterfuge is not your game.

[ Chuckles ] You know, it — yeah. It bothered me so much when you took off that I mentioned it to my uncle and also to another doctor here. Really? Let me think here. Dr. Robinson? See, how did you know that? Like I said, tj… god, I wish I had gone about this differently. But what’s done is done, I guess. And I just don’t want you to react like your uncle did. But you are still talking in circles, and I’m — I’m starting to get frustrated. So what do you want? To be part of the ashford family. Okay. I get it. Thanksgiving can be rough — you know, folks rushing around, going to nice, warm gatherings of family and friends, and if you’re feeling a little lonely, the holidays can exacerbate that. Is that what it’s like for you? Tj, the holidays or loneliness has nothing to do with this. I — I’m finally able to reach out to curtis after being unable to do so for a long, long time, maybe — maybe too long, and…I’ve gone about it all wrong. All wrong. And I’m not sure what to do about it. But I-I-it’s — it’s not your problem, and it’s not fair to enlist your help. I — this is something I have to do on my own. What are you talking about? Just — just tell me. Who is curtis to you? He’s my son. Oh, I’m glad I caught you before you left. Can I bring anything for dinner? No. God, no, no. Just your crew. Well, u-unless ms. Violet here is allergic to pumpkin pie? No, but my daddy says I’m allergic to bedtime.

[ Laughter ] Mm-hmm. Finn: Yeah. I’ll see you guys later. Okay. You ready to, um, head out? There’s no rush. There’s no rush? And why’s that? Because this day is already great. We’re together. Yeah. Phyllis: Nina. Hey, phyllis. What are you doing here at the hospital? I volunteered to pitch in here today and just finished. Well, it doesn’t hurt that staying busy keeps your mind off… well, everything. What about you? Do you have thanksgiving plans? Well, I had an offer to join my friend curtis, but I don’t know. I’m having a tough time. Mm-hmm. You and me both. I can’t believe you’re — you’re standing here. Come in. Please. Yeah, it’s, uh — it’s a little surreal for me, too. Are you okay? I’m in one piece, so there’s that. Okay, that’s, um… that’s a plus. Sam. I owe you a huge “thank you.” What for? I heard that you dropped everything. You came looking for me, you and dante. Yeah, but I di– I — I didn’t find you. We couldn’t find you. How did you get back? I had a lot of help. Smells incredible in here.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, you know, you can come here anytime you want — you know that. Thank you, that’s very kind. But I don’t think he came here to score an invitation. No, I didn’T. What’s going on, anna? Well, it’s not like jason to not get in touch after a trip, but I guess it was a whirlwind. How’s liesl? Good. Good. She’s, um — she’s actually here, um, getting her injuries looked at. Oh. What about peter? He’s captured and, uh, taken into custody. Oh, my gosh! Thank god! That guy’s reign of terror is finally over. Boy, that’s long overdue. But it’s finally finished and everyone’s safe, huh? Everyone’s safe, right, britt?

What happening to you moving out last night? Don’t worry about it. Charlotte and i have vacated the premises, I’ve just stopped by to pick up a couple of things the movers overlooked. Valentin, I know this has got to be painful and shocking for you. All other things aside, we know how much you loved bailey. Thank you. I’ll survive. I always do. So, what — no michael? He and willow took wiley to new york city for the holidays. They thought he might get a kick out of the parade. Oh, maybe you’ll be kind enough to fill him in. Fill him in on… this? No. I mean, yeah, I’d be sure to detail the depths to which your daughter has sunk, but this is an elq matter. When I was discharged from the hospital, my first order of business was to file a motion nullifying our agreement. You can’t do that. I can, and I did. You’ve admitted that bailey wasn’t my daughter — that voided our contract. That makes your elq shares once again my elq shares. That gives me an insurmountable majority, and that firmly cements my position as ceo of elq. Happy thanksgiving. You’re really my uncle’s father? And my father’s father? I am. Yeah. And then that makes you… your grandfather. You’re telling the truth? I wouldn’t lie about this. But you supposedly died a long time ago. It’s a long story, tj, and not a pretty one. But I’m not an impostor, and I’m not playing you or — or curtis. I’m your grandfather.

[ Chuckles ] I am your grandfather!

[ Chuckles ] Man. Man, it feels good to say that. And it feels good to see this — this fine young man standing in front of me. So I hope you can accept what I’m telling you. And accept me.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Yes. What in the hell do you think you’re doing? Whoa. Alright. You need to watch your language. You’re here in a chapel. T, I was trying to get here first so I could prepare you. Yeah, it’s all good. Now we can — we can finally put a-a name to the face of that stranger we were worried about. He’s — he — he — he’s family.

[ Sighs ] Tj, I need you to do me a favor. What’s that? Leave. You and jason teaming up to take down peter? Now, that’s something I would have loved to have seen. Does monica know that you’re home yet? Mnh. Not yet, no. I’m — I’m, uh, heading over there in a little bit.

[ Breathes sharply ] This is gonna be, like, the best thanksgiving ever for her. Hey, mommy. Uh, scout would like it if you came and watched the movie… with us. Scout. Oh, my god, look at you. Look at you! You’re all grown up. Well, she’s not all grown up. Close enough. Scout, I am so happy to see… robert and i went to greece. We got information that peter was holed up on cassadine island. Jason’s in — in greece. He and, uh, britt went looking for her mother. I know. Do you want to, um… can we sit down? Britt, hey. What aren’t you telling me?

[ Britt shouts ]

[ Rumbling ] Jason! I just want you to know, carly, that if it wasn’t for jason, my mom and I wouldn’t have made it home alive. That’s great. I’m more concerned about jason. Where is he? Where the hell is jason?

Stly thinkthis will work. I do, actually, because detective harrison chase is a decorated and respected member of the port charles police department, who came forth and… claimed bailey as his own. That was very honorable of you. Word to the wise — honor is in short supply in this house. By the way, olivia, brining the turkey was an inspired choice — very succulent. You tasted it? I did. I mean, I got mine before the dog descended on it.

[ Clattering, dog barking ] -Aah. -See? Rave reviews all around. No! No! My turkey! Somebody muzzle that damn dog! Really?

[ Barking continues ] Ned: Annabelle, get down! Olivia: My turkey! Obviously, I am missing something. Mr. Ashford and i need to talk. Alone. Why am I sensing that is not the best idea? It’s okay. Your uncle’s right. We got some unfinished business. Alright. Thomas junior. Looking at you, seeing who and — and what you’ve become, your father would be proud. Okay, um… it’s just you and me now, son. Stop calling me “son.” Because that is a privilege that is earned, and when you got your chance, you blew it. There’s no going back. I wish I had some magic words to explain why bad thingshappen to good people. They happen to bad people, too. You’re not bad, nina. You’ve had a wound inside you since your baby was taken from you. Maybe even before then. Well, it does not excuse what I did. No, but taking responsibility is the first step toward redemption. Is that a quote? Yes. Who said it? I did.

[ Both laugh ] Alright. I’m putting my foot down. You are not spending thanksgiving alone… oh. …And you’re not spending it at charlie’S.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve had — oh, wait. Wait, wait. Hey, portia. Hi. I’m so glad to see you. Um, do you think that you have room for one more tonight at your place?

[ Chuckling ] Absolutely. Yes, of course. The more, the merrier.

[ Laughter ] See you later. Yay!

[ Both chuckle ] Okay, I just need to change out of these scrubs. But do you look so pretty. Doesn’t she, daddy? Yes, she does. Well, thank you. Mm. I won’t be long.

[ Chuckles ] And then it’s turkey time. Yes. Can I have the wishbone? Yeah, yeah. I’m sure that could be arranged. Do you have a special wish in mind? Yup. And it’s about you and daddy. You, um… you better keep it a secret, sweetheart, or it won’t come true. Baby, don’t worry. There’s nothing to be afraid of. You know who this is, right? It’s your dad. Can you believe it? Yeah, he’s been gone for a while, but he’s back now. Yeah, and that’s — that’s pretty amazing news. I know you’re a little surprised, but guess what — I’m surprised, too. Look, we don’t have to rush anything. We can — we can just kind of take it slow, get to know each other again, okay? And the — the good news — the good news is — is that we’ve got nothing but time. I heard there’s talk that drew survived the plane crash? There was no plane crash. It was staged. Drew was being held prisoner by peter with victor’s assistance. Um [Stammers] I — I have peter in custody now. And victor cut a deal. So drew’s coming home. Two out of three ain’t bad.

[ Chuckles ] While we were there, we learned that… peter had britt and jason… captive. Yeah. You got them out? Actually, they — they got themselves out. You know, they had… jason to help. Sonny. Um. Britt and obrecht are home. Jason — he didn’t make it? Say it.

[ Voice breaking ] Mnh-mnh. I don’t want to say it. Say it!

[ Crying ] Jason’s gone.

You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Will you call me childish if I say yes? Well, revenge can be very sweet for the moment, but it isn’t going to make bailey yours. Well, I hope you’re happy. This is all that’s left of the 25-pound turkey. Oh, that’s a damn shame. Aw. Well, there’s always next year. You waltz in here, take back elq, you ruin my family’s thanksgiving, and you talk about

my depths? You took my child. She isn’t yours, valentin. Get over it and move on. I thought I respected you. Turns out I just found you moderately attractive. Now I don’t have to stick around and watch you lose your looks. Watch it. I’m just getting started. Without your singing voice, you’re just the runt of the quartermaine litter. You have less class than the family dog. Okay, that is enough! -[ Gasps ] -[ Gasps ] Just the person I wanted to see. Okay, what can I do for you? It’s about a patient. Which one? This guy I treated a few weeks back, the one I told you about who took off. What about him? I just saw him again. And, dr. Robinson, you’ll never believe this. He told you that he was your grandfather. H-h-how did you know that? Curtis…

[ Sighs ] Curtis told me. He was on his way over here to fill you in, but I guess your grandfather beat him to it.

[ Sighs ] And they’re together in the chapel right now. Do you think curtis needs backup? Considering I was ordered out of there, I would say leave them be. Well, how did he seem? Uncle curtis? Yeah. Uh…

[ Sighs ] Not good. I’m — I’m worried about him. So am I. Seems like tj is willing to give me a chance. Why won’t you? See… you — unh-unh, look. You don’t get to make me the bad guy here, not after you went behind my back to introduce yourself to my nephew. I-I thought you had already told him. Now, if I overstepped my bounds, I apologize. Y– you thought I already told him? Told him what? That we have the same dna? Told him that you waited around all of three years before you disappeared and let my family believe that you were dead? I grew up without a father. I grew up with a mother who was chronically ill because, when you left, it devastated her. So now you — you march boldly back in my life without even a semblance of an explanation. Does that about sum it up? You could tell tj the simple truth — I came back here to reconnect with my family. We are not and never will be your family. I don’t expect to be invited to dinner anytime soon, and I know — I know I have a lot of work to do before I can earn your trust. But tj is a grown man. Now, unless you’re claiming you speak for him, too — no, no. Tj is a grown man — he speaks for himself. Okay, good, good. So let’s keep the resentment there — between you and me, where it belongs. You do you, and I’ll do everything in my power to prove myself… or die trying. Happy thanksgiving, curtis. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling grateful. I bet you thought I forgot.

[ Gasps ] A unicorn?

[ Laughs ] I hope you still collect them. She does. Is it okay? Yeah, of course, baby, take it. What do you say? Thank you. You’re welcome. I’m gonna go show the boys. Go ahead.

[ Sighs ] Okay, I know it doesn’t feel like it, but I think that went really well.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m gonna give you guys some privacy. Uh, would you stay? There’s, um… there’s something that you both need to know. What is it? It’s about jason. Did peter sabotage the tunnel? No, no. He was trying to escape using britt and obrecht as hostages. Until jason caught up to him. Along with drew. They were a formidable team, as I understand it. Formidable. But there was a gunfight, and the tunnels were already unstable… did they dig jason out? We tried. I had a rescue team there within the hour. I promise you, sonny. They did everything they could. They did everything they could. If jason would have survived, they would have saved him. But no body was found? Sometimes, you don’t find a body. 50 tons of earth came down on him, and there was no signs of life detected. No. I’m sorry. Not jason. I mean, the odds of him walking out of there — jason has beaten the odds over and over again, and he will beat the odds this time. I’m gonna go to greece, and I’m gonna find him. Carly! Carly, listen to me. Jason’s gone. And even saying those words,

[Crying] I just want to curl up into a ball. But it’s true. He’s gone, and he’s not coming back. Because of you.

Valentin: [ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Inhales deeply ] Enjoy what’s left of your dinner. This is why I have luigi’s on speed dial.

[ Door opens, closes ] Uncle curtis, you okay?

[ Wood creaks lightly ] I didn’t want you to find out from him. It doesn’t matter. It does to me. At least we know who he is now and why he’s been asking a lot of questions. God knows I have a ton of my own. Tj, look. I understand why you want to ask questions and find out more. I-I get it. [ Sighs ] I mean, he’s your grandfather. Why wouldn’t you? But you don’t trust him. I don’t trust him, and I don’t think you should. Proceed with caution, alright? I hear you. Now, can we get out of here?

[ Scoffs ] Everybody’ll be going to dr. Robinson’s soon.

[ Scoffs ] Man, I don’t think I’d be good company. Uncle curtis. No, um… send my regards, okay? I’m gonna head back to the club. I got some work I can do. Well, you can send your own regards because I’m coming with you. No, honestly, brother, go hang out with your colleagues and friends. Not without you.

[ Chuckles ] You’re stubborn as a mule. They say it runs in the fam.

[ Laughs ] Wow. That took forever.

[ Chuckles ] It was worth the wait. An upgrade from the scrubs? Although you look pretty amazing in those, too.

[ Laughs ] Shall we? I’m so glad I caught you guys. There has been a change in plans. Hey, is dinner off? Oh, no, no, no. Dinner is on. Same people. Same food. Just a different venue. Mm.

[ Laughter ] So you’re saying there’s no chance?

[ Breathes deeply ] Not even jason could have survived that cave-in, sam. God, this is so unreal. Scout gets her father back and danny loses his? I’m so sorry. If it means anything, if — if it eases the pain even a little bit, I-I owe my life to jason. If he hadn’t have showed up on that island, I-I would be dead or I would still be controlled by peter. He was — he was a hero. Sounds about right. No, it — it, uh — it does. It means a lot. Thank you. I got to get going. I got to make sure monica doesn’t hear this from someone else. Okay? I’ll leave my number. So you just call me — if you need anything at all, I’m a phone call away. Alright? And you don’t have to go searching for me this time. Okay. Wait, drew. I am…really glad that you’re home. Me, too. I am so sorry, sam. Me, too. Anna: It’s so unfair. You know, jason worked so hard to get back to his life, and — and to have it all taken away again… this time for good. Ohh. Carly… well, this would, uh… I-I thought perhaps…

[ Sighs ] …The two of you would be here. I could tell you so that you were together. You know. No, I’m gonna have to tell her. Sure. You tell robin?

[ Voic e breaking ]I’m dreading the conversation.

[ Sighs ] Alright, well, um…

[ Sniffles ] …I appreciate you coming by to tell me. I know it’S… very hard for you, too, right?

[ Stammers ] Look, jason and I, we — we often found ourselves on different sides of the law, but I had such a respect for him as a person and a parent. Feeling’s mutual. Do you suppose that, um… maybe we could just lean on each other about this? Yeah. Okay, you got this. Yeah. Okay.

[ Door closes ] I-I get peter set this whole thing in motion, and he’s gonna pay, but you — look at me — jason had feelings for you! And look what it cost him! I mean, even when you guys ended things, jason had this responsibility or guilt or whatever the hell you want to call it, so much so he went with you to greece to go look for your mom. So when I rewind the tape… I wish jason never had met you.

[ Breathes deeply ] I wish that, too.

Hi. Guess who’s home? Hi. I look forward to hearing all about greece tomorrow. What’s wrong with now? Uh. I’m kind of in the middle of something. You alright? I’d just rather tell you tomorrow. But, um, welcome home, darling. Jason: A hundred million things could happen before you start to show symptoms.

[ Sniffles ] Amazing things. Disappointing things. Mm. But there’s no way to predict because that’s not how life works. The future is an idea. It’s not a guarantee. Are you disappointed that we bailed on thanksgiving? No. No, I can have pizza anytime I want. What about the kids? The kids are fine. They spend plenty of time with the quartermaines as it is. We’re… right where we’re supposed to be.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] This is insane. I mean, I-I know jason lived a crazy life…

[ Sniffles ] …And I’ve had a feeling that this was gonna happen. I just didn’t think it was gonna happen so soon.

[ Chopping ] God…

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ]

[ Breathing deeply ] I know I talk a good game, but I really didn’t want to spend tonight alone. Well, that’s a relief. Why…?

[ Light switch clicks ] All: Surprise!

[ Laughter and applause ] What’s going on?

[ Laughter ] Well, since you weren’t up for joining our celebration, we brought the celebration to you. Wow. Everybody dig in, please. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on, hang on. If aunt stella were here, she would say we’re forgetting the most important part. Thank you for the food, and thank you for my family.

[ Laughter ] Amen. Let’s eat. -Amen. -Amen. -Happy thanksgiving. -Alright. Here you go.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Chuckling ] Well, will you look at that? Didn’t even have to order this year. They just delivered the pizza. Hey — I rolled the dice and brought some with me.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft dramatic music]

Gwen: Xander, what’s going on?

Xander: I just got a call from kristen dimera. Turns out, sarah never betrayed me. She never stopped loving me. She never ran away with rex. It was all a setup! She’s trapped on some remote island. I’m gonna rescue her.

Gwen: But what about us?

Xander: There is no us. Not anymore.

Gwen: [Gasps]

Xander: Gwen, what’s wrong?

Chad: I just talked to your lawyer.

Kristen: The lawyer that ej hired because he’s too cowardly to represent me himself? Too scared of bad publicity? Just tell me what they said.

Chad: He, uh– he did everything he could to keep you here until the trial, but, uh, the judge wouldn’t go for it.

Kristen: [Scoffs] All right, what do we do now?

Chad: I’m sorry, but, uh, looks like you’re headed back to statesville.

[Monitor beeping]

Ej: Mother, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry for everything.

[Knock at door]

Nicole: Hey.

Ej: Nicole.

Nicole: I came as soon as I heard about susan. How is she?

Ej: She’s gonna be okay, thank god.

Nicole: And how are you? Are you okay?

[Tense music]

Sami: Oh, god.

[Groans] I am about to freaking lose it. Let me out. Hey! Can you hear me? Let me out of here! I have to get the hell out of here!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Of course I’m okay. It’s my mother I’m worried about.

Nicole: Well, I heard she’s gonna make a full recovery, so that’s wonderful.

Ej: Mm.

Nicole: But you look like you’ve been through the wringer. Did you get any slept?

Ej: [Sighs] She was so scared, she didn’t want me to leave. She was convinced the devil was coming back. Kept crying out to satan to stay away from her elvis. She finally fell asleep before you arrived.

Nicole: Did she have another psychotic breakdown?

Ej: Let’s step outside.

Nicole: Sure.

[Dramatic music]

Sami: You know, you could just give me a little warning next time. You almost knocked me over.

Jason: [Laughs] Well, next time, I’ll call out, “it’s me, jason, your favorite guard.”

Sami: [Laughs] Don’t flatter yourself.

Jason: Ah, someone’s in a good mood this morning, huh?

Sami: Well, you’re late and empty-handed. Where’s my breakfast?

Jason: Ah, you don’t get breakfast today.

Sami: Why not? You’ve been keeping me here for three months. Obviously, your job is to keep me alive.

Jason: Well, you don’t get breakfast today ’cause you’ve been a very bad girl.

Sami: What are you talking about?

Jason: Well, you don’t get what you want until I get what I want.

[Laughs] Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Sami: Okay, jason, I’ll play your stupid game. What do you want?

Jason: My phone.

Sami: Sorry?

Jason: The burner phone you stole from me. Did a little inventory and realized it was missing. Where is it?

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

Jason: I think you do. And if you don’t hand it over, I’ll do something a lot worse than just deprive you of some food.

Sami: Fine. It’s not gonna do you any good anyway. It’s dead.

Jason: [Chuckles] Oh, really? Let’s just bring it back to life, shall we? Who’d you call last night?

Sami: My mother.

Jason: And you’re still in here?

[Laughs] She must not give a damn about you, huh?

Sami: For your information, she was desperate to try to help me. But she can’t because she’s in trouble too. She’s in a lot of trouble. You have a mother, don’t you, jason?

Jason: What’s your point?

Sami: What would you do if she was alone, if your mother was alone and terrified and in grave danger? You would do anything you could to help her, wouldn’t you? That’s all I’m asking for. Please. Please, I know you have a heart in there. Just asking for you to let me get back to the people that I love.

Ej: [Sighs, clears throat] I–I was celebrating thanksgiving with anna and tony when steve johnson suddenly turned up with my mother.

Nicole: Oh, my god. Where did he find her?

Ej: In one of the family crypts. Apparently, he’d come looking for john black and found the two of them in there. I called 911, and they were able to stabilize mother in the ambulance. But when I first saw her with steve, all pale and lifeless, I just kept telling her to hang on.

Nicole: And she did.

Ej: When she opened her eyes, she was so happy to see me.

Nicole: Mm.

Ej: Overcome with relief.

Nicole: So let me see if I have this right. Susan thought satan wanted you dead?

Ej: The story she told me was quite convoluted. Something about marlena being possessed by the devil and demanding my mother kill john black. And if she refused, the devil would kill me.

Nicole: So susan thought if she stabbed herself, then satan would take her instead?

Ej: Something like that.

Nicole: [Sighs] Do you think it was a delusion?

Ej: At first, of course. Marlena isn’t marlena; she’s the devil? It’s impossible. I told my mother as much. But steve disagreed.

Nicole: Did he say why?

Ej: Before he could go into it, he got a text from kayla and he had to step outside.

[Soft dramatic music]

I still can’t believe what she did. The sacrifice she was willing to make.

Nicole: But the threat probably wasn’t real.

Ej: Whether it was or not, she was still willing to die for me. This brave, kind, selfless woman, for all these years, I was ashamed of her, pretended she didn’t exist. Yet she was still willing to sacrifice her life for mine. I don’t deserve it. I don’T.

[Sighs]

Nicole: It’s okay. It’s okay.

Chad: Look at me. Tell me you’re not gonna escape again.

Kristen: Of course not.

Chad: Kristen.

Kristen: No, I’m not. I’m not. It just– look, I just meant that it’s not a given that I’m going to prison. So, you know, I’ve got money. And I can hire a team of lawyers, and they can help me with this appeal.

Chad: Okay. Well, if there’s anything I can do to help, I–I will. But unfortunately, you’re gonna have to start that process from statesville.

Kristen: Well, when are they transferring me?

Chad: Probably today.

Kristen: Oh, god. Okay, in that case, I don’t know, can you get me something to eat? I mean, just something at that little sandwich counter downstairs is fine.

Chad: [Clears throat] Yeah. Of course. All right.

Kristen: Thanks.

Chad: Give me 20 minutes.

Kristen: Okay.

[Suspenseful music]

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

Sami: So you see, my mother is being held against her will. She is chained to a wall.

Jason: Why doesn’t she call the cops? She got a phone.

Sami: I swear to god, if something happens to my mother, I will make you pay!

Jason: You can yell all you want here, lady. No one’s gonna hear you. Let’s just see who you’ve been chatting with, all right? Huh.

Sami: You don’t have to check. I’m happy to tell you.

Jason: So first you called mommy, and then?

Sami: My husband.

Jason: Huh.

Ej: [Sighs] Well, that was embarrassing.

Nicole: No. No, not at all. Just shows you have a heart.

Ej: Was that in doubt?

[Laughs]

Nicole: Well, you don’t normally wear it on your sleeve, so…

Ej: I suppose that’s true. In fact, you’re one of the few people who has ever seen that side of me.

Nicole: I’m honored that you let me.

[Soft dramatic music]

Ava: Mm.

Rafe: Mm, you know, I hate to break this up, but I’ve got to get to work.

Ava: Oh, my god.

Rafe: Yeah, mm-hmm.

Ava: Of course. Of course you do. Oh. Yeah. I guess I need to figure out how I’m gonna be spending my days now that I’m no longer scheming with philip to steal your sister’s company.

Rafe: Oh, yeah. Any ideas?

Ava: Hmm. I need to get a job. But on the up-and-up this time. No threats. No blackmail.

Rafe: That sounds like–yes, I like that, good.

Ava: Good plan?

Rafe: Yeah, good plan.

Ava: I hope you know how grateful I am that you were able to put what I tried to do to gabi in the past.

Rafe: Well, we said that we are putting all our mistakes behind us, right?

Ava: Hmm.

Rafe: Clean slate.

Ava: Right.

Rafe: Right.

Ava: And now that I have another chance, I’m not gonna do anything to mess it up.

Rafe: Same here.

Gwen: Feel better, darling?

Xander: Much. And not only because we just did what we do so very well together but also because whenever I get off track in my head, go to some dark place in the past, you– you just always know what to say and what to do to bring me right back here with you, where I’m so incredibly happy.

Gwen: I’m so glad.

[Sighs] Not to be rude, but would you mind if I just checked my phone for messages? I’m hoping for word from my father.

Xander: Go right ahead.

Gwen: [Sighs]

Gwen: Nothing.

Xander: Well, maybe he, you know, nipped out of town for thanksgiving and he’ll call you when he gets back.

Gwen: Maybe.

Xander: Look, I know how badly you want to repair your relationship with jack. Remember, maggie’s gonna talk to him, try and get him to come around.

Gwen: Yeah, but how much of an effort is she really going to put in? She loves abigail, and she knows that I tried to destroy her life.

Xander: I explained to maggie that you–you’re a different person now. A kind, caring person who only wants to make things right with her family. So please, just be patient, love. And in the meantime, you still got me. I’m not going anywhere.

Gwen: Oi! You said you aren’t going anywhere.

Xander: I’m just gonna, you know, go for a shower. You’re welcome to join if you like.

[Phone rings]

Gwen: Chad? Why are you phoning me?

Kristen: It’s not chad. It’s kristen. Hi sabrina!

Ej: Well, it was nice while it lasted.

Nicole: What do you mean?

Ej: You seeing me as an indomitable force. Powerful, ruthless, unshakable.

Nicole: Oh, no, I still see you and all those things.

[Laughs]

Ej: Even though you witnessed me blubbering like a child?

Nicole: Oh, ej, come on. We talked about this. You know, just because you’re vulnerable doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means that you’re human. And in my eyes, at least, a very attractive human.

Ej: Well, you can hardly blame me for being wary about letting my guard down. I did that with samantha, and you can see where that got me.

Nicole: Speaking of, have you gotten any more calls like you did the other night that you thought it might be sami?

Ej: No, and whoever it was, they never called back. And if they do and it is samantha, I can handle it.

Nicole: But why should you have to? I mean, you’re going through so much already. Although I have to admit, it is strange that you haven’t heard from sami before now.

Ej: Why is that strange? I told her that I didn’t want her in my life anymore.

Nicole: But after you kicked her out, she went to see gabi to ask her if she can move into the mansion so she could badger you into reconciliation. I mean, it was sami’s mission to get you to forgive her. And, what, she just disappears off the face of the earth?

Ej: Apparently so.

Nicole: The only explanation I can come up with is that she decided not to get back together with you. But why? I mean, why would sami do that?

[Dramatic music]

Jason: Why would you call your husband? I mean, your marriage blew up in your face.

Sami: What do you know about my marriage?

Jason: I read the tabloids. Ej dimera threw you out on your ass after you cheated on him with your ex-husband. There’s no way he’s gonna–

Sami: Okay, okay, that–that story was a huge exaggeration, all right? We had a fight. He was upset, with good reason, over my lapse in judgment.

Jason: Lapse in judgment? You slept with a dude behind his back.

Sami: Listen, ej is my husband.

Jason: Uh-huh.

Sami: And even when he’s furious at me, he still loves me. If he knew I was in trouble, he would come running.

Jason: [Laughs] I thought you called him.

Sami: I did. Phone went dead the second he picked up. But if it weren’t for that, he would be breaking down this door right now.

Jason: Uh-huh. I seriously doubt that.

Kristen: Oh, you didn’t think I’d forgotten about you.

Gwen: [Sighs] I can’t talk now.

Kristen: Fine. Then put your boyfriend on. I’ll tell him that his fiancée is alive and well and that she never wanted to break his heart.

Gwen: No, please. Please don’T.

Kristen: Here’s the deal, gwennie. I just got word that I’m being sent back to statesville, possibly as soon as today. So I need you to act now.

Gwen: What do you bloody expect me to do?

Kristen: I expect you to get me out of here asap.

Gwen: And if I can’t?

Kristen: Well, then I’ll call xander and tell him where to find sarah, and he will dump you so fast, it’ll make your head spin.

Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Gwen: [Sighs] Well, I don’t know how you expect me to do this.

Kristen: You’re having a crisis of conscience? Please, gwennie, compared to everything else you’ve done, this is a piece of cake.

Gwen: Well, no, actually, it’s not really a moral issue. It’s more of a practical one. You see, I’ve never busted anyone out of jail before. I don’t even have a clue where to begin.

Kristen: Well, then enjoy being single. Hey, maybe you’ll meet someone at sarah and xander’s wedding.

Gwen: No, please, please, don’t–just don’t– don’t tell him. Don’t punish me for something that I would do in a heartbeat if I could.

Kristen: Mm. Do I have to do everything myself? If I tell you how to do this, do you promise to go through with it? No excuses? No cold feet?

Gwen: Yes, of course.

Kristen: Okay. Then I’ll get you some help.

Gwen: I have to go.

Xander: Who was that?

[Dramatic music]

Chad: It’s for kristen.

Rafe: Oh. She know she’s going back to statesville?

Chad: Yeah, I just told her.

Rafe: Okay. Why don’t you also tell her that if she’s planning on the old switcheroo again, you know, with susan, it ain’t gonna happen. Susan’s in the hospital.

Chad: I heard. Crazy story.

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Chad: She’s doing okay, though.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, she’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t get roped into helping kristen again.

Chad: I doubt there’s anybody in this town right now that would help my sister.

Rafe: Yeah. Well, lani’s her best friend, but she’d never risk it. There’s always ava.

Chad: They go way back.

Rafe: Yeah. Yeah, they do. In fact, last time kristen was in custody and she traded places with susan, ava’s the one that found her.

Chad: You think she helped her escape?

Rafe: Well, I did ask her point-blank, and ava said she went into the interrogation room looking for me and she found–she found susan unconscious on the floor, never even saw kristen, and if she had seen her that she would have told me right away.

Chad: And you believe her?

Rafe: Yeah. I do.

[Phone rings]

Ava: Hello.

Kristen: It’s me, kristen.

Ava: Kristen? I heard you got arrested.

Kristen: Yeah, I’m at the police station right now.

Ava: So why are you calling me?

Kristen: Well, I need a favor.

Ava: What?

Kristen: Well, the last time I was in a bind, you helped me out and you looked the other way so I could escape, so I need you–

Ava: Listen, kristen, if you are asking me to help you run from the police again, I can’t do it. Rafe and I are in a good place. We’re happy, and I am not gonna jeopardize that.

Kristen: You already have. And if you don’t get me out of here, I’m gonna tell commissioner hernandez all about it, how you aided and abetted me and then you went and lied to his face.

Ava: Come on, you can’T.

Kristen: Oh, I can, and I will.

Ava: Kristen, please.

Kristen: I don’t have time to argue, so listen up. Here’s exactly what you need to do.

Sami: No matter what happens between ej and me, I am still the mother of his children. And he is a very rich man. He will pay a small fortune to get me out of here.

Jason: I’d pay a small fortune to get you to shut up. Trust me.

Sami: Will you please just tell your employer that ej will pay?

Jason: My employer doesn’t care about money.

Sami: Why? Is he rich? Or she? Why are they holding me here? Jason, whoever this horrible person is that you’re working for, you just have to tell me. I have to know who it is. Please.

Nicole: Why would sami do a complete 180, just get up and leave when she said she would stay and fight for your marriage?

Ej: Like you said, she changed her mind.

Nicole: No. It’s not like sami to give up. Especially on you. And she would dig in, hold on, and be in your face 24-7 until she broke you down. But instead, she just disappeared? Why would sami do that?

Ej: Because of me.

To be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer

Kristen: [Sighs] So are we clear on this?

Ava: Yes. Absolutely.

Kristen: Okay, good. Now, get to work. All right, outgoing calls. Delete.

Chad: What are you– is that my phone?

Kristen: Yes.

Chad: Who–who’d you call?

Kristen: I was calling brady.

Chad: You are unbelievable.

Kristen: You know what? I’m sorry, chad. It’s just–I was desperate. I wanted to speak with rachel. I miss her very, very much, and I thought if he got the call from you, you know, it would be different. But as soon as he heard my voice, he hung up.

Chad: Here’s your food. I have to go.

Kristen: Oh, hey. Hey, thank you for this. And thank you for trying to help. Knowing that you still care gives me hope.

Chad: Yeah, well, hold on to it, ’cause right now, it’s all you got.

[Dramatic music]

Xander: Who was on the phone?

Gwen: Chad.

Xander: Why would you want to talk to chad dimera?

Gwen: I didn’T. He–he phoned me.

Xander: Why?

Gwen: Oh, you know, to blast me yet again for lying about my miscarriage and trying to blow up his marriage.

Xander: God’s sake, he needs to get over–I mean, yeah, you caused some problems. But I mean, he still has a future, a family, a home with the love of his life. Some people have to settle for a lot less.

Gwen: People like you?

Xander: Why would you say that?

Gwen: You–you were talking about sarah earlier. Maybe it’s still bothering you.

Xander: No, it’s not. No. You were right. I need to forget about her. In fact, I already have.

Sami: I just need to know. I just need to know who’s behind this.

Jason: [Laughs] So you’ve said about a thousand times. You know that we had the same conversation every damn day since you got here?

Sami: Since I got here? Do you mean since the day that the thug chloroformed me at rafe hernandez’s house and dumped me here? Is that what you mean?

Jason: And every single time, you keep on asking who my boss is. I told you, you’re not gonna get that information from me.

Sami: [Sighs] Why not?

Jason: [Sighs] ‘Cause I’m no dummy. I know what side my bread is buttered on, all right?

Sami: Do you have to bring up food? You know how I get when I’m hungry.

Jason: Oh, kind of like the green blob in “ghostbusters,” right?

Sami: [Chuckles] Yes, actually, exactly like that.

Jason: Ah.

Sami: So what do you say? Can I have my breakfast or what?

Jason: [Laughs] All right, fine. But this here, I’m taking it with me. All right?

Sami: Yes. Take it.

Nicole: Why would sami leave because of you?

Ej: I pushed her away. I told her I never wanted to see her again, and I meant it.

Nicole: Well, she cheated on you with lucas, so you have every right to be angry.

Ej: I was cruel. Perhaps too cruel.

Nicole: Whatever you said in that moment–

Ej: It wasn’t just that moment, nicole. I was vicious toward my wife for more than a year, verbally and emotionally abusive.

Nicole: You know, maybe we shouldn’t talk about this right now. You’re exhausted and–

Ej: Being up all night has given me a lot of time to think. Sitting there and watching my mother scared and helpless reminded me of what I went through after the fire. I was in so much pain, I didn’t want anyone near me.

Nicole: You went through some very severe trauma.

Ej: And so did my mother. And how did she react? Did she turn cold as ice? Start lashing out at the people that were trying to care for her? No, the complete opposite. She wants me as close as possible.

Nicole: But you two are very different people.

Ej: That doesn’t excuse my behavior.

Nicole: Ej, you were severely burned. You were covered from head to toe in bandages for months.

Ej: Hmm. And every day, I thought to myself that I wanted to die than rather live as the shell of the man that I’d become. I begged samantha to put me out of my misery. But she refused. She kept fighting for me long after I’d given up. And do you think I showed her any bit of appreciation? No. I was a monster. In fact, samantha told me how much she loved me, and I would scream at her to go to hell. She felt lonely, rejected. And so she betrayed me with that wretched simpleton.

But that doesn’t change the fact that she saved my life.

Nicole: Sounds like you feel more than anger toward sami.

Ej: I am still immensely grateful for everything she did for me, but she doesn’t know, because I told her to stay away. And she has.

Nicole: Ej, I mean, it sounds like you regret it.

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Ej: No. I don’t regret the decision I made about samantha.

Nicole: Are you sure? ‘Cause it sounds like you wish you had handled things differently.

Ej: As far as my recovery goes, sure. My behavior was atrocious. But that doesn’t justify the fact that my wife broke her vows. Doesn’t change the fact that she was unfaithful and then lied about it to my face repeatedly.

Nicole: Do you think you would have forgiven her if she had told you the truth from the beginning?

Ej: Doesn’t matter, because she didn’T. Now she’s gone. And I’m moving on.

[Dramatic music]

Nicole… thank you for coming and checking up on me.

Nicole: Of course.

Ej: I’ve had a rather dark night of the soul. Feeling terribly guilty about how I’ve treated my mother, how I’ve treated everyone I’ve cared for. And you, you didn’t scold me or mock me for my behavior, being a bastard. You listened and gave me hope that things can be better moving forward and reminding me that I am right where I want to be. I’m with the person I want to be with.

Unless you’re still pining over rafe after your conference table sex.

Nicole: No, no.

Ej: Mm?

Nicole: Ej. No. Not at all. I’m right where I want to be too. Like you said, moving on.

Kristen: Any news?

Rafe: The van taking you back to statesville is on its way.

Kristen: Huh, well, there must be a bunch of red tape to deal with before I go, forms to sign, paperwork to process.

Rafe: I took care of all that. Soon as it gets here, you’ll be on your way.

[Tense music]

[Knock at door]

Ava: Gwen rizczech?

Gwen: Yes. Who are you?

Ava: Well, according to kristen dimera, I’m your new partner in crime.

[Monitor beeping]

Susan: Hmm. Elvis? Is that you, honey? Oh, jeepers! You’re not my elvis.

Xander: No, susan, it’s–it’s me, xander.

Susan: Oh, xander kiriakis.

Xander: I prefer cook.

Susan: Okay. What are you doing here?

Xander: Well, I heard about what happened to you, and I–I wanted to give you these.

Susan: Oh!

[Sniffs] Mm. We don’t know each other, so why are you bringing me flowers?

Xander: Oh, I just– I don’t know, I wanted to thank you for what you did for me.

Susan: Is this one of those hidden-camera shows?

Xander: Why would you ask that?

Susan: Watch this. See, I just concentrated really, really, really hard, and I can’t think of a single thing that I’ve ever done for you.

Xander: You–you opened my eyes about my unfaithful fiancéE. You–you saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life.

Susan: I’m sorry, mr. Cook. I–I really don’t know what on god’s green earth you are talking about.

Jason: [Whistling]

[Both chuckle] Here you go. It’s all ready for you.

Sami: Thank you.

Jason: Well, I try.

Sami: [Chuckles]

[Clears throat] You know, I just have to do it, take everything off the tray. I don’t like airplanes, cafeterias. Ever since I was a little kid, I had to eat it separate.

Jason: Hey, whatever works. It’s all good.

Sami: Right?

[Both chuckle] Oh, uh, jason, I just want to say I’m sorry about the phone thing. It won’t happen again.

Jason: Ah, cool. Well, it better not.

[Both chuckle] Eat up.

Sami: Right. Okay.

Jason: [Grunts]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft jazzy music]

Maggie: Brady.

Brady: Hi, hey. I’m–I’m–I’m sorry to pull you away from thanksgiving. I’m glad you came.

Maggie: Oh, well, we finished our feast a while ago. Victor is already zonked out in front of the tv.

Brady: Mm. [Laughs]

Maggie: So how many of those have you had?

Chloe: Mmm. Are you not gonna finish that?

Philip: Too full.

Chloe: Oh, yeah, actually, me too. Oh, maggie really outdid herself with that meal. But I do know a really great way to burn off a bunch of thanksgiving calories.

Philip: I’m listening.

Chloe: I think we should take a nice…long walk to the riverbank and check on our tree.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: Oh, how’s susan?

Steve: She’s doing okay. Kayla said tony and anna could keep her and ej company for a little while. Any word from your dad?

Belle: No. He’s not answering my calls. He’s not returning my messages. I’m just–I mean, I know he’s worried about my mom, but to go after her when she is so out of control like this, I–

Steve: Belle. Belle, listen. No one is tougher than your old man. If anyone can find marlena and get through to her, it’s john.

Belle: [Sighs]

Ciara: Marlena, we were just talking about you.

Marlena: P-please, close the door.

Ben: Oh, what’s–what’s wrong?

Marlena: You’ve gotta help me. You have to hide me.

[Tense music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Soft music]

John: [Gasps] Oh, man. Look at you. How’s doug and julie?

Shawn: She’s putting him to bed. But we’re lucky they’re alive.

John: I think we’re all lucky to be alive.

Shawn: Yeah, my grandparents are incredibly brave. The way that they called out marlena–or the devil?

John: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shawn: My grandma said that after marlena knocked me out that she–that she called on the power of love to protect herself and doug and it worked.

John: [Laughs] Leave it to julie williams to scare satan away. I’m glad you’re all okay, kid. Except for that crack on your head.

Shawn: Yeah. Look, steve said that you were on your way to the hospital. I mean, based on the way that you look, I mean, doesn’t look like such a bad idea.

John: No, no, no, that’s all on hold until I can find doc.

Shawn: What happened to you, john? And where have you been? What did marlena do to you?

John: [Exhales heavily]

Ciara: What are you talking about? Are you okay?

Ben: Why do you need us to hide you?

Marlena: It’s john.

Ciara: John?

Ben: What’s going on?

Ciara: What is it, marlena? What’s wrong?

Ben: Please. Hey, we’re here to help you. Whatever it is.

Marlena: I never thought i would have to tell anybody this. And I’m afraid you’re gonna have a very hard time believing me.

[Shudders]

Ben: You’re shaking. You need to sit down.

Ciara: Yeah, let me get you some water.

Marlena: [Exhales heavily]

Ciara: Here.

Marlena: Thank you. I guess I’m–I’m not sure where to start.

Ben: Whatever it is, you can tell us.

Marlena: Well, the– the reason–the reason john is after me is because john’s been abusing me.

[Tense music]

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Maggie: You know what? It doesn’t matter how many you’ve had to drink. The important thing is, is that you called me.

Brady: [Clears throat] Maggie, I–I haven’t even had a slip of it. I’ve been staring at it for an hour and 26 minutes and 35 seconds now.

Maggie: I am just so glad you called.

Brady: I’m glad you came.

Maggie: I’m your family.

[Sighs] I’m your sponsor. I know how difficult holidays can be. And I know how hard you’ve had it recently. So why don’t we get that gentlemen to take that away?

Brady: Yeah, I– I regretted it the minute I ordered it. Just couldn’t find the strength to send it back.

Maggie: Hmm. I understand. I mean, that’s the pull alcohol has over us.

Brady: Yeah.

Maggie: When we least expect it…[Sighs] We can find ourself with that urge– with that urge to pick it up.

[Clears throat] I can’t imagine how hard it was for you finding kristen about to run off with rachel and begging you not to turn her in.

Brady: The look on that little girl’s face. She was just looking up at me like… kristen’s desperation, it just all–the whole damn thing just broke–broke me up, maggie. It broke my heart.

Maggie: Well, listen. Unfortunately for addicts like us…

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: People can have just as much of a hold over us as alcohol. Especially when that person is the mother of our child. And the woman that once and I’m guessing you still love very deeply.

Brady: I heard from kristen’s lawyer. She wanted to see me, and I came really close to doing it, I did, maggie, but I’m–I’m–I… can’t do it. I can’t do it. I can’t–I got to end it. It–it has to end, right?

Maggie: Yeah, so you ended with a scotch instead?

Brady: Well, if I’m completely honest with you, this–this drink is not just about kristen. It’s also about chloe.

Maggie: Oh.

Chloe: What do you say? I’m feeling a little extra thankful for my amazing boyfriend, and what better way to celebrate than to go visit our tree?

[Dramatic music]

Philip: [Growling] That is an awesome idea, but I am so stuffed, I can hardly move.

Chloe: Hmm.

Philip: In case you haven’t noticed, it’s cold outside.

Chloe: Since when are you afraid of a little chill factor?

Philip: Since I’m curled up on this couch with my beautiful girlfriend…

Chloe: Mm-hmm.

Philip: In this nice warm house.

Chloe: Oh, so that’s a no?

Philip: It is.

Chloe: How about tomorrow?

Philip: Black friday? And miss all the sales?

Chloe: Oh, stop it. Very funny. You’re probably gonna be working anyway. Okay, but I do wanna make a date to go visit our sweet little tree. I wanna see how it’s doing.

Shawn: So all this time, you were in the dimera crypt? And marlena put you there?

John: Shawn, it wasn’t marlena. Doc is fighting as hard as she can, but she is just no match for a force of evil as powerful as the devil.

Shawn: Yeah, I’d have to agree. Look, let me take you to the hospital. I mean, belle’s there right now. She’s worried sick about you. I’m sure she would love to see with her own two eyes that you’re alive and you’re well.

John: Kid, I would love nothing more than to wrap my arms around my daughter right now and tell her, “kid, everything is gonna be okay,” but I can’t do that, not until–

Shawn: Till you find marlena.

John: I gotta stop her, shawn. I gotta save her. Before she knocked you out, did she say anything about her plans?

Shawn: No, I think her plan was just to finish us off. Until–till julie drove her away.

John: Well, then maybe you should–you should give this back to julie.

Shawn: I think, right now, I think that you could use it a lot more.

[Tense music]

Ciara: John’s been abusing you?

Ben: I am so, so sorry, dr. Evans. Since–since when?

Marlena: Well, it’s been going on for some time.

Ciara: Hasn’t he been out of town for some undercover assignment?

Marlena: He was. He was. I–I was hoping the time away would do him some good, help him, you know, deal with his demons. And then he came home this morning and–

Ben: What happened? What happened?

Marlena: He did that.

Ben: John did that?

Ciara: Why?

Marlena: Well, I’m afraid he doesn’t need much of a reason. He–he came home and I–I told him I was so happy to see him because he’d been gone for a while, and he–he felt that I was was guilting him about his job. And then– and then he grabbed me.

Ben: This is unbelievable.

Marlena: Yeah, well, see, I’m a psychiatrist. I’m supposed to be able to help people with their problems, but I can’t even seem to help myself.

Ciara: And do you really think that john is going to come after you?

Marlena: Oh, oh, he–he was in–he was in such a rage when I left the house, I– I’m afraid to go back there.

Ben: I’m so sorry.

Ciara: Yeah, this is horrible. I just–I’m sorry, marlena, but this doesn’t sound like john. Why give your family just any eggs

Maggie: So this is about chloe? I–I knew that victor was trying to push the two of you together, but I just thought it was his wishful thinking.

Brady: Wishful, yeah. Granddad’s skills as a matchmaker are highly exaggerated and overrated. Chloe and I are not together. That being said, despite my desire to suppress them, I do–I have some real feelings for her, maggie, some deep-rooted feelings for her, and I really can’t do anything about it because–

Maggie: She’s with philip.

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Oh, it was so beautiful that day we planted the tree. Look how small it was. It’s probably so much bigger now. I’m just sorry I haven’t had the time to go visit it lately.

Philip: They’ve been working you awfully hard at basic black. How’s it going over there?

Chloe: Great. I mean, this week, we were really crunched because we were trying to get the latest sales projections in before the holiday, but other than that, business as usual.

Philip: So no big developments to report?

Chloe: Like what? How about we stop talking about philip and we get back to work?

Brady: That’s a good idea.

Chloe: Brady, seriously, I mean it. You cannot tell anybody what happened here last night. I mean–

Brady: I–I know what you mean. I know. You’re referring to the sex that happened on the conference table. Okay, listen, I’m– I’m not gonna tell a soul about it. It’ll be our secret, okay?

[Dramatic music]

Philip: Oh, I don’t know. Seems like you’ve been working long hours. Haven’t seen you that much. Just thought there might be something big going on.

Chloe: Well, there–there is one development.

Philip: A new product line?

Chloe: I need to talk to you about brady.

Shawn: I’m checking the latest incident report, and nope, no sign of marlena.

[Phone rings] Oh. Hey, sweetie.

Belle: Oh, thank god. I just called the salem pd, and they said you weren’t there. Where are you? And where is my mom?

Shawn: Look, I’m still at the house. Your–your mom got away from me.

Belle: What do you mean she got away? Are you okay?

Shawn: Yeah, nothing a little bit of aspirin can’t fix.

Belle: Oh, my god, shawn.

Shawn: I’m fine. I’m fine. So are doug and julie. And the good news is, your dad’s safe. He just got here a little while ago.

Belle: Oh, thank god. Is he hurt?

Shawn: He’s a little worse for wear, but he says he’s okay. He’s actually right here.

[Suspenseful music]

Marlena: I don’t blame you for being skeptical.

Ciara: No, I don’t mean to upset you. It’s just, john is madly in love with you. He is so gentle with you. I–I simply can’t picture him trying to hurt you.

Marlena: No, I understand it’s out of character, but ever since the aneurysm, he–he flies into these fits of rage.

Ciara: Aneurysm?

Ben: Yeah, it happened last fall when you were…

Ciara: Oh, right

Ben: I thought these episodes had stopped.

Marlena: No, I’m afraid not. Sometimes he’s normal, and then other times, he goes into this insane rage. I–I just never thought that– no matter how angry he got, I never thought that he would hurt me.

Ben: But he did.

Marlena: Yeah, I–I guess that’s why I haven’t said anything. I mean, I–I didn’t wanna believe it myself. But all these months, things have gotten worse and worse and worse, and it doesn’t stop, but I just keep thinking, “I’m alone.” I’m just scared. I’m just so scared.

Ben: Listen, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. You don’t have to be afraid. I promise you ciara and i are gonna do everything that we can do to help you and to help john, whatever you need.

Marlena: Oh, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Gosh, I must be such a mess. I–I hope you don’t mind if I just clean up a little bit.

Ben: Of course, yeah.

Marlena: Excuse me. Thank you.

Ben: This is unreal. John’s just been abusing her for the last year?

Ciara: Yeah, that’s what she says.

Ben: You don’t believe her?

Ciara: I don’t know. Obviously she’s scared.

Ben: Obviously she has a bruise on her wrist, ciara, but–

Ciara: No, I–I see that. I–I just–for some reason, I’m wondering if maybe there’s a little bit more to this.

Ben: There’s more? More how?

Ciara: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I cannot imagine him hurting her. And I cannot imagine her putting up with it for a year. And I cannot imagine him coming after her.

[Banging on door]

John: Marlena.

[Banging on door] Open up! I know you’re in there, marlena. Come on. Hi susan! Honey?

Brady: I blew it, maggie. A little while back, chloe actually–she admitted to me that she had feelings for me.

Maggie: You were in love with kristen.

Brady: [Sighs] Well, I’m–I’m always gonna–gonna love kristen. She’s the–she’s the mother of my daughter. But…I feel like I’ve been lying to myself for a long time about her, thinking that she’s gonna change. I know she’s gonna change. She’s not gonna change. She’s got these insecurities and this jealousy that just– I feel like I’m talking about philip right now.

Maggie: Philip isn’t kristen, brady.

Brady: No, he’s not, but I’ll tell you what. The guy freaks out every single time he sees chloe and i together.

Maggie: And you don’t do anything at all to push his buttons?

Brady: No, I don’t pu– I don’t– but yeah, I mean, I–I guess I’ve pushed a button here and there, but I don’t–look, I don’t do it anymore. Honestly, chloe and I are colleagues. We’re dear friends and nothing more. Even though I don’t think philip is ever gonna have the capacity to be the man or the–the partner that chloe needs.

Maggie: And have you voiced any of this to chloe?

Brady: Oh, yeah. Chloe is fully aware of how I feel about philip. But I’m–I’m trying to do the honorable thing here.

Maggie: Stand back and hope that this relationship with him just implodes on its own?

Brady: Maybe.

[Sighs] Don’t look at me like that. Okay, yeah, that’s exactly– that’s exactly what I am hoping for, completely.

Maggie: Mm, and what if it doesn’t happen?

Brady: If it doesn’t happen, then I accept defeat and I do nothing.

Maggie: Except land in a bar like this.

Brady: All right, maggie. Touché. Fine, but look, I’m serious. I am serious about this. I–I don’t care whether I think philip is right for chloe or not. I’m not gonna interfere. I’ll tell you what. It does hurt like hell to think that chloe and i could have had a real chance if philip wasn’t in the picture.

Philip: Why would you need to talk to me about brady?

Chloe: [Sighs] Well, I know that you and lucas saw me and brady walk into the salem inn the day that I moved out.

Philip: How did you know we saw you?

Chloe: Brady told me.

Philip: And what did brady have to say about it?

Chloe: Well, he said that lucas basically confronted him and accused him of sleeping with me behind your back, and I wanted to talk to you about it, but I wanted to wait until you mentioned it first, but it’s been weeks, and you haven’t said a word.

[Banging on door]

John: Come on, marlena! I know you’re in there! Doc, open up!

[Banging on door] Open up!

[Tense music]

Ben: John.

John: Let me in, ben! I know she’s in there! Let me in! Let me in!

Ben: You need to go home, john. You need to get out of here.

John: I’m not going anywhere until I see her, so let me in!

[Growls]

Ben: The best thing you can do right now, john, is to go home and you cool off.

John: After all that bitch has done, what, now it’s my fault?

Ben: You need to leave, john.

John: Everything she’s telling you is a lie, ben. She’s just trying to get you on her side.

Ben: You need to leave. You need to go home.

John: I know you’re in there, doc! I know you’re in there! You’re in there spewing your filthy lies about me. Well, it’s over. You hear me? I’m gonna stop you once and for all. I’m gonna kill you. I swear to god, I’m gonna kill you!

Belle: What do you mean my dad’s gone?

Shawn: He was just here a second ago. Maybe he went to go look for your mother. Oh, my god, john, john.

Belle: Shawn? Shawn? What’s going on?

John: It’s not like she says. She’s no victim. You hear me? Doc, you are no victim. You got everything you deserve, and you’re gonna get everything that’s coming to you.

Ciara: Ben, close the door.

John: No, open the door! Bitch.

Maggie: Well, I wish I could give you some advice, but I don’t know what to say.

Brady: Maggie, I’ll tell you what. It can’t be any worse than the advice I got from marlena.

Maggie: Well, what did she tell you?

Brady: She told me to take chloe and throw her on the conference table and ravage her.

Maggie: [Laughs]

Brady: Yeah.

Maggie: Marlena?

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Maggie: She actually said that?

Brady: She actually said that.

Maggie: That doesn’t sound like marlena at all. What’s gotten into her?

Brady: I don’t know. I don’t know, but I didn’t go through with it, obviously.

Maggie: Good.

Brady: I did–I did not take her advice. And so there you have it. Once again, maggie, I–I lost the girl before I even really got the chance to get her. And all to a man who is just a– sorry, I–no more dumping on philip. He’s your stepson. I’m–I’m sorry.

Maggie: I love philip, but I love you too. I just–I hate to see you in so much pain. All I want is for both of you to be happy. And unfortunately, you both can’t have chloe.

[Soft jazzy music]

Philip: I didn’t ask you about you and brady going into salem inn because there was nothing to know, right?

Chloe: Of course not. Nothing happened between me and brady that night.

[Dramatic music]

Brady only walked in with me to help me with my luggage.

Philip: That’s exactly what I assumed.

Chloe: Well, good. I’m glad. I do kind of have another confession. When brady told me what you and lucas saw, I just–I assumed that you were gonna 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.

John: [Groans]

Belle: How are you feeling?

John: I’m okay, sweetheart.

Belle: All this time, you were in this horrible crypt, and, you know, we just believed mom when she told us you were undercover, and we should have looked harder. We–we should have questioned her more.

John: Izzy, izzy, izzy, first of all, it wasn’t your mother. So there’s no way you could’ve known. All that matters now is that we–we need to find her. Listen, I don’t suppose you’d spring me if I asked really nicely, like, please?

Kayla: Mm. Not a chance. You are staying right here where I can keep an eye on you.

Belle: Dad, you passed out. You’re staying, even if I have to guard you myself. So is he gonna be okay?

Kayla: Well, I’ve ordered a ct scan just to make sure that there’s no head injury, but judging from the circumstances, I would say that he is dehydrated and exhausted. So we’ll give him some fluids and some rest, and then I believe he’ll be all right.

John: There, you heard it. Your old man’s indestructible.

Belle: Well, thank god steve found you when he did. ‘Cause there’s really no telling what the devil had in store for you.

John: [Sighs]

Steve: Here you go, buddy.

Shawn: Oh, thanks.

Steve: Marlena really got you good, huh?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, she did.

Steve: Well, I know she’s your mother-in-law, but why didn’t you cuff her before you took her down into the station?

Shawn: Look, I did. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life. She just–she just snapped the cuffs like they were trinkets. And then she threw me across the room without breaking a sweat.

Steve: Across the room, huh? Did you get yourself checked out?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, kayla looked me over. I’m fine. Just wanna make sure that john’s okay. And then we need to find marlena. Look, anybody who comes in contact with her, they’re in serious danger.

Marlena: Is he gone?

Ben: Yeah, I don’t worry. You’re safe. We’re not gonna let him anywhere near you.

Ciara: I–I can’t even believe that was john. I barely even recognized him.

Marlena: I know. That’s not the man I married.

Ben: Yeah, well, I’m calling the police.

Marlena: No, no.

Ben: He’s dangerous, dr. Evans.

Marlena: No, the thing is that he’s got friends in the department, so I don’t want him to be able to talk his way out of it.

Ciara: Okay, well, what about family?

Marlena: Well, gosh, eric’s out of the country, and sami’s gone, and… well, belle and brady, I–I don’t want to put them in a position where they have to turn against their father.

Ben: Well, I mean, there’s gotta be something we can do.

Marlena: There is. We have to leave town right now.

[Tense music]

Kayla: Here you go.

John: Thank you.

[Monitor beeping] You know, your husband saved my life today.

Kayla: You’re his very best friend in the whole world. And when you vanished and we finally realized that marlena was lying to us about where you were, there was nothing that was gonna stop him from finding you. Not even the devil.

John: That’s my partner.

Kayla: You know, john, I owe you an apology.

John: Yeah, and why’s that?

Kayla: I was so angry with you for playing that tape of doug’s session with marlena, but you knew in your gut that there was something terribly wrong with marlena and that that tape was the key. If only we had listened to that tape sooner, you know, maybe we could’ve stopped marlena before she went after you or doug or susan.

John: Kay, kay, kay, kay, no, no, no, no. This is–this is lucifer we’re talking about here. It doesn’t matter when we would have listened to that tape. He would have found a way to stop us. What’s important now is that we know what we are fighting, and all that matters is that we win that fight for doc’s sake.

Ben: You want us to leave town with you?

Marlena: Well, just for a little while. Look, I’m afraid if I go alone, john will find me. Oh, well, yeah, you’ve got your own family to think about. You got the baby coming and all that. I know it’s a big decision. Why don’t I just go freshen up again and let you talk about it?

[Dramatic music]

Oh, don’t let me down, ben.

Ciara: Look, we–we can’t just leave town, ben.

Ben: You heard john. You saw him. This guy’s totally lost it.

Ciara: Yeah, okay, and there must be a better way that we can help her that doesn’t involve us packing up our things and leaving town.

Ben: I know it seems like a lot, but this woman has never asked anything of me.

Ciara: Okay, but this? Go where, ben? For how long? I am finally working again. You have a job.

Ben: I understand that. She’s scared, ciara, and she needs our help right now.

Ciara: I know, I know, but there’s just–there’s something so weird about all of this. It’s just fundamentally weird. It’s all out of nowhere.

Ben: You heard marlena. This has been going on for almost a year. John’s aneurysm?

Ciara: Okay, well, maybe we can find a way to help him. Maybe we can call brady or call belle.

Ben: She said she doesn’t wanna get anybody else involved.

Ciara: I know, but they’re family, ben.

Ben: I know that, ciara. But after everything she has done for me, maybe it’s my turn to help her. She’s the person who never stopped believing in me. She changed my life. Hell, she gave me my life back. We are about to have a baby right now because that woman convinced me that i could be a good father.

[Dramatic music]

Marlena: Well, did you decide?

Limu emu… & doug

Chloe: Thank you so much for understanding and for trusting me. You have no idea how much it means.

Philip: What do you say we go upstairs and tuck in and see what christmas movies are on?

Chloe: Mm, I would love that, but I really have to head back to the salem inn.

Philip: Video chat with parker?

Chloe: No, I wish. He went to bed ages ago. But I have a super early morning meeting in the square.

Philip: My little workaholic.

Chloe: [Chuckles]

Philip: You can’t beat that commute.

Chloe: No. But I’ll see you tomorrow?

Philip: You bet.

Chloe: Okay. Mm.

Philip: All that talk about trust right before she goes to meet her boyfriend? There’s not a chance in hell her and brady are gonna make a fool of me.

Brady: Belle, thanks for– thanks for calling. Oh, my god.

Maggie: So john’s in the hospital?

Brady: Yeah, he is.

Maggie: Well, is he all right?

Brady: He’s–he’s–he’s gonna be all right. But marlena is not.

Maggie: Marlena? Well, what happened?

Brady: Oh, my god. That’s why. That’s–that’s why that advice that she gave me was so crazy, because it–it wasn’t her at all.

Maggie: Wait a minute. What on earth you talking about?

Brady: Maggie, this is gonna sound really crazy, but I’m just gonna tell you. Marlena has been possessed by the devil… again.

Maggie: Oh, no.

Steve: Hey there. There’s my partner. Looking a lot better than the last time I saw you.

John: Well, you know, I was having myself a pretty below-average thanksgiving till you showed up.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Steve: You doing okay?

John: Well, if I can get your wifey to sneak me in a sliver of her world-famous pumpkin pie, I’ll be good as new.

Kayla: Hmm, with a little rest and some fluids. We’re still waiting on the ct report.

John: Details, only details. You know, I’ve always been grateful for your friendship. But with everything that’s going on here right now with–with doc out there needing our help, today I’m extra thankful for the two of you.

Steve: We’re by your side on this, buddy. We found you. We’re gonna find marlena too. Okay.

Shawn: How’s your dad doing?

Belle: Oh, well, he’s okay for someone who’s been locked in a crypt for weeks. Of course, all he wants to do is get out of here and go find my mom.

Shawn: Well, I’m right there with him on that. Look, belle I–I’ve been holding off on officially reporting this, but I–

Belle: I know. I know. You don’t have a choice.

[Tense music]

Shawn: Yeah, this is detective brady. I need to put out an apb on marlena evans.

Tell all units to approach with caution. Dr. Evans should be considered extremely dangerous.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: Could you please tell him to leave your daughter alone?

Deacon: She’s my daughter too

Brooke: Okay, what’s happening? Is hope even home?

Deacon: No, she went to work. She said that I could stick around.

Ridge: And I’m saying you should leave, and so is brooke.

Deacon: Is that what you want? Is that how you feel?

Brooke: Why are you here?

Ridge: You know why he’s here here. You know exactly why he’s here. He’s trying to force his way into hope’s life. And I think you know how that’s going to end. Another crushing disappointment. Is that what you want for your daughter? I know you don’T. So can we please just end this now before it gets any worse? Just tell him to leave and never come back.

Hope: I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

Steffy: You know liam’s concerned about this.

Hope: I didn’t expect you to be the one fueling them.

Liam: Wait, that’s not what’s happening here.

Hope: No? She’s not telling you it’s wrong for me to be defending my father or for wanting him in my life?

Liam: No, what she’s telling me is that she’s concerned about the effect deacon could have on our life, and she’s encouraging me to keep talking to you like I have been to see if I can get through.

Hope: Yeah, to change my mind.

Steffy: Liam’s the only one who can.

Hope: Liam is my husband, and what happens in our marriage and our family should be our business. And I know that we’ve all been very connected lately, trying to create a nurturing environment for all of our children. But just like you asked me to respect your boundaries with sheila, I’m asking you to respect mine. Please do not interfere with my marriage to liam.

Steffy: I’m not interfering in your marriage, hope.

Liam: Yeah, it’s not about our marriage, it’s about deacon not letting you down again. It’s about him not affecting brooke and ridge’s relationship. Steffy’s concerned about everybody here.

Steffy: This is a huge mistake. When has deacon done anything but disappoint you?

Hope: He is my dad.

Steffy: And he’s a threat to this family. I don’t want him to hurt you again. And honestly, I’m afraid that’s what’s going to happen.

Hope: Well, I’m not afraid of that. I’m not afraid of that at all.

Liam: Okay, but you see, hope that’s what scares us, right? Like, deacon has gotten you to trust him again. Okay, fine. But if there’s any chance that he’s the same old guy, I don’t want him around the kids. So you can keep in touch. That’s fine. Write letters, send pictures, whatever. But I think it’s just, it’s just best for everybody if the guy leaves town and doesn’t come back.

Deacon: Hope wants me in her life.

Ridge: You’ve got into her head. She’s forgotten everything she knows about you.

Deacon: She knows I love her. She knows that I’m here for her. I’m here for her children. I would never do anything to hurt, stop treating me like I’m the big, scary, bad guy trying to infiltrate your family, I’m not. All I want to do is get to know my little girl. She wants it too. She wants it more than anything.

Ridge: Why are we listening to this? I don’t know.

Deacon: You know this is true. She trusts me. You can, too.

Ridge: There it is, that’s enough. Time for you to go.

Deacon: Come on. What do you…?

Brooke: Ridge, stop, please. This isn’t helping.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: Just leave him alone.

Itchy?

Hope: If I want my dad in my life, he will be.

Liam: Okay. But, you’ve got to know you’re making that decision for a lot of people, besides yourself.

Steffy: And we’re not even allowed to question it, because you’re the only one who really knows deacon sharpe?

Hope: Well, you haven’t even tried to get to know him.

Steffy: I know enough. And you should, too.

Hope: Okay, I am not being manipulated, steffy. I am just giving my dad an opportunity to prove himself and doesn’t everybody deserve that?

Liam: All things being equal, maybe. Sure. But in this case, we have kids to think about.

Steffy: You were so good at coming together for the children.

Liam: And isn’t that our highest priority? Making sure that the kids are safe, making sure that we have their best interests in mind?

Hope: That is exactly what I am doing. And first of all, I would never, ever put the kids in harm’s way. But I also don’t want them growing up thinking that the world is an evil, scary place, that people aren’t capable of change. I want them to see the best in people. I want them to make the world a kinder place.

Liam: Yes, I love that. That’s beautiful, I agree. And I can only hope that our kids are just as compassionate and loving as you are. But there is also nothing wrong with being cautious when it’s warranted.

Steffy: Normally you are cautious and reasonable, but–

Hope: Oh, I’m not being reasonable?

Steffy: I’m not trying to argue with you right now. You should just listen to liam.

Liam: And I’m not trying to argue with you either. Believe me, that is the last thing I want. I just, I just don’t understand why this is so difficult to communicate about.

Hope: Well, it’s not going to get any easier if you keep treating my dad like he’s some kind of monster. He is a person who wants connection, who wants love, who wants to be a part of a family. And I am determined to give him that.

Brooke: Okay, look. This is hope’s home and deacon is her father. So if she wants to see him, really, there’s nothing that we can do.

Ridge: Honey, honey. We have a say in this.

Deacon: Okay, but it doesn’t mean you can barge into hope’s home without permission.

Brooke: Deacon, just let us talk.

Deacon: I’m sorry, but he’s acting like I broke into the damn place.

Ridge: Hope’s making a mistake. This could damage, not only her but, the grandchildren.

>Deacon: So now I’m going to damage the grandchildren? I was making some phone calls.

Ridge: Why’s this clown here, why’s he still talking?

Deacon: When are you going to listen? I’m not the one driving a wedge between hope and her family. That’s you. She just wants me to feel included. But if you keep pushing, you keep shutting me out, you’re going to force her to make a choice.

Ridge: Does that sound like a threat to you?

Deacon: No, that’s not a threat, it’s not what I want.

Ridge: What do you want? What does the great deacon want now? What do you want? What you had before? Will you convince my wife to betray her daughter? Bridget loved this snake. And you slept with her husband, you had a child. Biggest betrayal of your life, and that’s what you want? You want this clown here? You want this constant reminder in your life?

Deacon: Come on, man, why do you gotta bring that up?

Ridge: I don’t know what game he’s playing, I have no idea. But whatever it is, I don’t want you involved in it, or hope. I don’t want you guys to get hurt. Look at me. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Liam: You believe in deacon. I get that.

Hope: No, I don’t think you do. I don’t think anyone really understands what he means to me.

Liam: Are you sure about that? Because my dad is no paragon of virtue either and I still love him.

Hope: And you still are glad you got to know him.

Liam: Yes, because it’s made me aware of who he is.

Steffy: I get it. I’m in the same situation with sheila and finn.

Hope: My dad is nothing like sheila.

Steffy: It’s the same tension he’s causing. Finn and I got through it. And you and liam will get through it, too. You just need to step back, be objective and ask yourself, is it worth it? What if deacon goes back to his old ways, hm? What if he starts asking for money, starts drinking again? Do you want that influence in your life and around your children? Things could get really bad, especially if he’s desperate. He’s always on the brink of crashing and burning.

Liam: You said that he’s trying to rehabilitate himself, right? What that means is this is a very tricky time in his life. All it takes is one little speed bump and

[ Plane crashing whistle ]

Hope: And that is precisely why I want to help him, why I want to give him some kind of stability.

Liam: Okay, I admit, I wasn’t around for all the worst stuff that deacon did. I’ve just seen enough and I’ve heard enough to know that it’s worth taking a stand. And you know something else? You keep saying that we’re treating him like he’s a monster. That’s not what this is about, hope. If there’s a hurricane coming your way, you don’t think of the hurricane as a monster. You don’t try to punish it. You don’t seek retribution. You just get out of its way and you protect yourself. And that’s all we’re doing with deacon, okay? This is not about being cruel. I’m not trying to control you, steffy’s not trying to pick fights with you, and ridge is not trying to be a jerk. We are just trying to look out for you and the kids, that’s it.

Hope: Well, don’t include my mom in that because I think she believes the best in him.

Liam: I’m not, this is not, I don’t want to get into a tug of war with you. I just, I just don’t know why you’re not hearing me.

Hope: What I am hearing is that you don’t trust me or my judgment. That I don’t know what is best for myself or for our family. And coming from steffy and ridge, that’s not exactly surprising, but coming from you, liam, it’s more than hurtful. It’s disappointing.

Liam: Hope? What are you doing? Where are you going? Hope!

Brooke: I hate what this is doing to us, ridge.

Ridge: You can stop it.

Brooke: No, no, I can’T. Not the way you want. Not if shutting deacon out means pushing hope away.

Ridge: He’s trying to make you feel like you don’t have a choice, but you do have a choice.

Brooke: You know what hope said to me? If we don’t allow deacon into our family, she’s going to take liam and the kids and just move away. I’ve built a strong bond with her, ridge, since she’s been here and I love having the grandchildren around. I’m not going to be the one to drive her out of here.

Ridge: You’re not. It’s him. Everything was fine until he got here.

Brooke: What if it’s true? What if hope’s right and deacon has charged?

Deacon: Let me prove it, please.

Ridge: You want to prove it? You want to prove you’re a changed man? Okay, leave.

Deacon: Don’t you get it, man? That’s what everyone expects me to do. You know, to let hope down, just disappear. Well, I’m not going to do it, not this time. You know why? Because hope is right. She’s right. She believes in me, brooke. And I know you do too. I can see it. Maybe you believe in me just for hope, but you do.

Ridge: Brooke? Tell him he’s wrong.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. Can we just talk about this?

Ridge: I’m going to go.

Brooke: No, no. Don’t do that.

Ridge: You know what? I don’t want to say something I’m gonna regret. This isn’t over. Better skin from your body wash?

Liam: Her car is gone. Like, I, I can’t believe that. I can’t believe she would just she would just leave. Like, that is not what we do. We, we talk things out. We listen to each other.

Steffy: I should have given you two time to talk.

Liam: Well, I appreciate that, but this still affects you, too. I mean, deacon being in our lives, is bad for everybody. I’m not just coming after hope’s dad for no reason.

Steffy: What we were telling her was the truth, whether she accepts it or not.

Liam: Yes, exactly. It’s–

Ridge: Hey, steffy.

Steffy: Hey.

Ridge: Liam. Glad you’re here. I want to talk to you.

Steffy: Is everything okay?

Ridge: Um, what about hope, is she, is she here?

Liam: Hope just left because we got into a thing about deacon.

Steffy: It’s my fault. She walked in on us talking about how dangerous deacon is.

Liam: And she immediately defended him, which appears to be her default mode now.

Ridge: Yeah, brooke is starting to do the same thing.

Steffy: What?

Ridge: Oh, yeah. In the beginning I thought it was just about not alienating hope and not drawing a line in the sand. But now I’m, I’m not sure, um. I went down to the cabin and deacon was there.

Liam: Deacon was in the, deacon was in my home?

Ridge: Yeah, made himself at home. Said he had permission. So I was going to throw him out and brooke came him down and told me to stop. I thought it was because she wanted to throw him out, but no, it’s because she wanted to defend him, just like hope.

Steffy: I can’t believe that. Brooke knows nobody can trust deacon.

Ridge: Hah.

Liam: It’s got to be like ridge said. She doesn’t want to push hope away.

Ridge: Yeah, that’s what I thought, too. You know, I didn’t think that that brooke, after everything this man has done to her, would let him back in. But I’m starting to wonder if deacon is only here to reconnect with his daughter.

Deacon: Um, I’m sorry that happened.

Brooke: Yeah, me too.

Deacon: You could have gone after him.

Brooke: Well, I don’t see what that would change. I mean, I can’t change what hope wants.

Deacon: You’re not sure, but you stuck up for me.

Brooke: I just hate being at odds with the ridge.

Deacon: And I hate putting you in that position. I’m causing tension in your marriage, I’m causing tension in hope’s marriage. That’s not what I wanted. I don’t want to complicate things. I just want a relationship with hope. I want to be worthy of her. You know, she’s put so much faith in me. So have you. I just want to live up to it. You have raised hope to be the most forgiving person I’ve ever met.

Hope: And she taught me not to give up on people. That if you give them a chance, they, they may surprise you.

Deacon: I’m trying, kiddo.

Hope: I know. And it means a lot. You’re, you’re really fighting to be a part of my life.

Deacon: I was absent for a very long time. And it’s ironic because I thought I was doing you a favor. But in reality, it’s the biggest regret of my life. I should have been there for you. You know, I, I wasn’t there when you were growing up. I can’t change that. But I’m here now. This is my shot, this is maybe my last shot at redemption. And all I want to do is spend time with you and the family, making memories. I don’t want to waste any of that and nobody is going to get in my way. No one’s going to take that away from me, including ridge.

Brooke: Ridge was here, and he tried to throw deacon out.

Deacon: You know what your mother did? Your mother actually defended me. She said to ridge, “what if hope’s right? What if he actually has changed?”

Hope: You, you said that?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: Wow. Thank you. Although I can’t imagine that ridge reacted too well to that. But I mean, that is what everyone needs to hear. That’s the only way we’re going to bring peace to our family. And ridge, liam, steffy, they’ve been fighting this so hard, and frankly, it’s demoralizing. It feels like they don’t trust me or my judgment and… it helps a lot to know that, that you do. Because I need your support, mom and… dad does too.

Deacon: Yeah.

Hope: Thank you. I love you. Thanks.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: He’s getting into brooke’s head, he’s making her believe in him again. This is not going to end well.

Brooke: Okay, here you go.

Ridge: Thank you.

Brooke: Mm-hm.

Ridge: How do you do that?

Brooke: What?

Ridge: How do you just get better looking every day? I can’t get enough of you. I really can’T.

Brooke: Well, it goes both ways.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Sexy, handsome husband. Mm-hm. You know what? Liam is at forrester with steffy.

Ridge: Ah!

Brooke: He dropped the kids with donna on the way, and hope is getting ready to go to work so, thought maybe… what?

Ridge: Nothing.

Brooke: Ridge…

Ridge: You bring up hope and it just, why, why is– why’s she insisting that deacon be in our lives? Why?

Hope: All right, here you go. One black coffee.

Deacon: You know, I got to tell you, I really like this place. I didn’t get a chance to say that before, but it suits you and your little family.

Hope: Well, we think so.

Deacon: And thanks for having me over.

Hope: Of course, I’m glad you could come.

Deacon: Nothing would have kept me away. Speaking of ridge, um–

[ Both laughing ] I made sure he didn’t see me. I don’t want to cause any problems for you with him and i especially don’t want to cause any problems in your marriage with liam.

Steffy: Donna’s going to have her hands full. I have to admit it’s amusing, but kelly has quite the bossy streak.

Liam: Oh gee, I wonder where she gets that.

Steffy: Hey! But honestly, I do think we need to have a talk with her.

Liam: Yeah, probably. Just tell me when and where, not trying to raise a tyrant over here.

Steffy: Amen to that.

Liam: You know, we’re pretty lucky that we just happen to always be on the same page when it comes to the kids. Including keeping them away from people like deacon.

Steffy: It’s not that I don’t get where hope is coming from, same place as finn, and maybe deacon’s not as bad as sheila, but he drags around trouble everywhere he goes.

Liam: Exactly. And, but more importantly, deacon just can’t be trusted to do the right thing, right? Deacon does whatever serves deacon, and whoever gets hurt in the process is collateral damage. And I just, I don’t want that around the kids, or hope, actually. Like, like how many times does the guy have to let her down before the door finally closes? But no, hope is just ready to give him another chance.

Steffy: She’s more than ready. She wants deacon to be part of her life. Like, how are you dealing with that? That must be putting a strain on your marriage.

Brooke: I understand your concern about deacon, I do, I share it. But there’s only so much we can do.

Ridge: Only so much we can do? What does that, I don’t know what that means.

Brooke: Hope is a grown woman, she does what she wants. I can’t really dictate who she can or cannot see, even if it’s deacon.

Ridge: Well, um, yeah. No, you can, around here you can. We can, because we live here on this property and we should have a right to say who comes and goes. And I think you should tell her that deacon shouldn’t be here. It’s best for all of us. You do realize that, right?

Hope: Dad, I don’t want you to worry. My marriage is fine.

Deacon: Liam doesn’t want me around.

Hope: Well, I do.

Deacon: You don’t see that causing any issues for you?

Hope: I think it will work itself out. And besides, no one is going to dictate to me what I decide to do with my family. And whether they like it or not, that includes you.

Deacon: I just, I can’t tell you what it means to me that you, you’re giving me another chance, that you want me back in your life.

Hope: I believe that you’ve changed. And I want to get to know this new and improved version of you.

Deacon: I’m not going to disappoint you. I want to be worthy of all your belief and all your faith. I promise, sweetheart. Diabetes isn’t about to slow me down,

Liam: I mean, hope and i were in such a, such a good place before this too, you know? Like, thank you, we, we survived that awful time that I was away. The kids were– were thriving. And then of course, deacon shows up, you know, and it turns out that she’s been corresponding with him the whole time. And you know, something? You know something? If it were just hope and me, I wouldn’t love it, but of course, hope is more than capable of making her own decisions, including striking up a relationship with her deadbeat dad, but there’s kids involved now, you know? There are kids involved.

Steffy: Deacon’s not above using them. Which puts my children at risk. That’s why you have to do everything in your power to stop hope from pursuing a relationship with him.

Liam: I’m trying, but every– nothing I’m saying is having any effect. I’ve just, I’ve never seen hope’s heels dug in so far.

Steffy: That’s alarming in itself. That deacon already has influence over hope.

Liam: Yeah. Well, needless to say, I’m going to do whatever I can to stop this, but I, you know, I’m walking a tightrope here, too, steffy. Like I can’t, I can’t be the husband who’s dictating everything his wife can and can’t do.

Steffy: You’re not. You’re protecting hope and the children from a man that nobody can stand or trust. Honestly, my dad’s in the same situation with brooke.

Ridge: I’m surprised that you’re not more insistent about this.

Brooke: I don’t know how I can be, ridge. She’s not a little girl anymore that has to do every single thing that mommy tells her.

Ridge: She’s not thinking straight. Deacon is in her head and we’ve got to get him out.

Brooke: We can’t forbid hope from seeing her father.

Ridge: Oh, I see. So you’re okay with that relationship.

Brooke: That’s not what I was saying.

Ridge: What are you saying? Why don’t you tell her the truth? Why don’t you tell her who this man is, who her father really is? That he represents the darkest, darkest period of your life? Why don’t, why don’t you try to remember that and get angry about it and help me keep this predator away from our family?

Brooke: He’s her father.

Ridge: He’s not her father. He gave her life. That’s it.

Brooke: Well, she thinks he’s changed.

Ridge: What about you? Do you think he’s changed?

Brooke: I’ve already told her how I feel. She doesn’t care.

Ridge: So what do we do? Just give up? That’s not like you, especially when it comes to her. You need to tell her that this guy is bad news. I can’t believe I have to convince you of that.

Deacon: I just can’t believe I’m here and that you want me here. God… god, I’ve got so many regrets, hope. Most of them about you. I should have been a better father. More present, more consistent. You should have been able to count on me.

Hope: Well, we can’t change the past, but we can try to learn from it and, grow and do better going forward.

Deacon: Yeah, I just, I just really appreciate the chance. And I’m not even surprised, it’s who you are. You’re kind and you’re generous. I don’t think you realize exactly what you’ve done for me. You literally brought light into my world. I was in a pretty dark place in prison and it was a place of hopelessness and despair. And then one day a miracle happened. I got your letter that said that you wanted to get to know me. And the darkness lifted, and suddenly I had a reason to get out of bed in the morning. I had a way of focusing on the future and that’s all because you. But in opening that door, I’ve caused a lot of problems for you.

Hope: Dad, I told you not to worry about that.

Deacon: I do worry about it. I don’t want to complicate your life. I don’t want to complicate it with your husband, and I don’t want to complicate it with your mom.

Hope: I think it might be okay. I mean, she, she seems to be coming around.

Deacon: Hm, that would be… that would be pretty incredible. You know, I really… want the chance for brooke to see me in a different light, to see the man that I am now.

Hope: Well, don’t give up on that dream. It’s not impossible.

Brooke: I really don’t want to argue about deacon.

Ridge: Who’s arguing? We’re not arguing.

Brooke: Okay, well I don’t want to debate or discuss him.

Ridge: Okay, but we’re going to, we have to do something. We can’t avoid it. He’s gonna take advantage of her, you know that. He’s, deacon’s going to end up living in that little cabin.

Brooke: Ridge, please, come on. I don’t want deacon to become a problem for us, okay? We just need to trust hope’s judgment. She’s a levelheaded woman. She’s not naive like she was when she saw deacon last. Let’s just trust that, okay? Just calm down.

Ridge: I’m calm.

Brooke: Okay. All right. I thank you for caring.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: I got to get my notes for the video calls.

Ridge: All right. See you later.

Brooke: All right.

Steffy: Opening the door to deacon is a terrible idea. My dad’s extremely concerned, for hope, and the kids, of course. But needless to say, brooke’s involvement with deacon, that was like one of the lowest points of her life. And I’m sure seeing deacon is just a painful reminder of that time for brooke and my dad.

Liam: Well yeah, I can only imagine.

Steffy: Hope is so wrapped up in having deacon part of her life that she’s losing sight of the negative impact this could have on our parents’ marriage.

Deacon: You seem pretty sure that liam is going to eventually accept me in your lives.

Hope: Well, the two of you might not be close, but acceptance is the goal I have in mind.

Deacon: So what do i have to do?

Hope: Be consistent. You know, not just with liam, but with everyone. You know, showing that you are trustworthy and that you’re not running some scheme. And I, I know you’re not, but I think the others might take some convincing. And you know, in the meantime, we’ll do us.

Deacon: Thank you, hope. For reaching out, for believing in me, for giving me another chance.

[Phone whistling]

Hope: Shoot. I, I really do have to get to the office. I’m so sorry, dad.

Deacon: No worries. Go, go fashion mogul. Would you mind if i stuck around for a few minutes? I just have to make a few calls, I’m trying to line up a life now. Job, place to stay, things like that.

Hope: Of course. I meant what I said, you’re welcome here, okay?

Deacon: Oh, thanks, sweetie. You’re everything to me. Mm.

Hope: Don’t lose hope, alright? We will find a way to make this work.

Deacon: Okay.

Hope: We’re family, all of us.

Deacon: Okay.

Hope: Look at us together. All three of us in the same room I, I dreamed of this day happening, and now it finally is. This is a chance for the three of us to make things right again, as a family. Please, mom. Please let him stay. My dad is home. My dad is finally home.

[ Door opening ]

Deacon: Oh, did you forget something, honey?

Ridge: Well, it seems to me she forgot to tell you to get out. Maybe she wanted me to do it. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Steffy: I don’t mean to put you in a difficult position between hope and me, I’m just– I’m so frustrated! Out of all the things hope could take a stand for, she picks deacon, that freeloading loser? All he does is disappoint her and breaks her heart.

Liam: Well, here’s the thing. Deep down inside hope there’s still that little girl who just wants a dad, right? That feeling, it’s not going away, I know this, right? From experience. The problem is now deacon’s here, and he’s all reformed or whatever, and you know how forgiving and how loving hope is, right? So I just don’t trust the guy to do what’s right by anyone but himself.

Steffy: He’s a bad guy. How many times does deacon have to show himself to hope until she finally learns the lesson? This dude is never going to change and you have to do something. Don’t let hope’s tunnel vision put your family at risk.

Hope: You know something I really don’t appreciate? You saying things to my husband that could cause problems in our marriage.

Ridge: So I’m trying to figure out why you would want to be in somebody else’s house. Did you break in? Are you looking through stuff?

Deacon: Come on, look– really? Hope invited me.

Ridge: Oh! Hope’s here? Hope are you here?

Deacon: No, she left.

Ridge: Then why are you here?

Deacon: Because I’m making a couple phone calls, she said I could stay.

Ridge: Really?

Deacon: Yeah.

Ridge: I don’t buy it.

Deacon: Maybe you’re unaware, or maybe conveniently forgot, but hope has opened up her home to me.

Ridge: Maybe you forgot, this is the guesthouse and I don’t want you on this property.

Deacon: That’s not really your call to make, ridge.

Ridge: That’s you, isn’t it? Showing up with an agenda every time and then people get hurt, and you skulk away like the bottom feeder that you are.

Deacon: Look. I’ve been selfish in the past. All I can do, all i can keep doing, is tell you I’m not that guy anymore.

Ridge: You can tell me that all you want, but I see you. You’re the same guy, you’re the same leech you’ve always been. You take money from hope, from brooke, anybody, because you’re broke. You just got out of prison.

Deacon: I don’t want anything from hope other than her love and respect. And I intend on earning that.

Ridge: I see a guy with an opportunity trying to take advantage.

Deacon: I would never take advantage, I’m not– I wouldn’t do that to my daughter.

Deacon: You wouldn’t? You said never. Never, really never? That doesn’t track at all because you’ve done it before. And it doesn’t make a lot of sense because, yes, she is your most outrageous victim, but not your only victim. Deacon, everywhere you go you cause pain and heartache. That’s never going to stop.

Deacon: You know what? This conversation’s pointless.

Ridge: No, no, no, it’s not. It’s not pointless at all. It’s really important, actually. You need to understand that I’m going to protect hope, the way I always have. You know why? ‘Cause her daddy wasn’t around. I’m going to protect hope and brooke and the children.

Deacon: The ch– I’m not trying to hurt anybody.

Ridge: Okay. That’s good because you’re not here. You’re not here at all.

Deacon: You know what? You don’t have the right to throw me out of my daughter’s home.

Ridge: Why don’t we test that theory?

Deacon: Seriously? Come on.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: Ridge. What are you doing?

Ridge: Oh, I’m taking out the trash, but I’m glad you’re here. Because you know what? This can’t keep going like this. I don’t care what hope needs or wants, he can’t be here. It’s bad for everybody. And I need you to back me up. Tell him to get out, and never come back.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Sighs ] You’re gonna have to help me keep it together. I don’t want to cry in front of sasha and brando. Listen, we have to be there for them. We don’t want them to feel alone, and… I don’t want you to feel alone, okay?

[ Quietly ] Thank you.

[ Sighs ] A-are you here to see sasha and brando? I could give you an update. We don’t need an update. It’s just they’re trying to tough it out, but they’re pretty fragile, so please be gentle. No reason to worry just because the neonatologist has news about our baby. No, I’m not worried. Are you worried? Mnh-mnh. Of course not. I’m not worried. In fact, when the three of us get home, I am going to buy our son his first baseball mitt. You don’t think he’s a little young to start playing catch? Mnh-mnh, not with a name like liam mike. He is strong willed, and like — and like mike corbin, he will — he will defy the odds and live his life to the fullest. You know what the name brando means? Mnh-mnh. Sword or fiery torch. Oh, I will fight for our family with a sword or a fiery torch. I know you will. Hey. One day, we will tell our grandchildren about their heroic dad, who was strong willed and he defied the odds. Yeah. And they’re gonna say that we — we worried for nothing. They’re gonna laugh at us. Maxie’s emotionally exhausted. I mean, not that I blame her. But second-guessing is not gonna get us anywhere. We are in this thing now. We’ve got to see it through. I don’t know, maxie made some strong points. She did, but we are committed, which means we have to deal with it, especially now that valentin is furious with me. With us. And there’s no telling what else valentin might do.

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ] We had enough trouble the last time you were here, don’t you think? So please just turn around and walk away. No one’s here for any trouble. Then what do you want?

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh, excuse me. I just wanted to get a glass of water. Hi, maxie. Long time no see. Drew. In the flesh. I’m not a ghost. I’m not a hologram or a figment of your imagination, don’t worry. I — I heard that you were alive. I just — I haven’t processed it yet. Until now? It’s processed. Mm-hmm. It’s so processed. I’m fine.

[ Chuckles ] Despite jason morgan’s best attempt to kill me. Yeah, you’re a lucky man. It’s good you were only shot in the arm. You might have some nerve damage, but nothing serious. Not like as if I had been shot in the chest, right? No. If you were shot in the chest, you’d be in the icu. Oh, so I take it you don’t believe the rumors, then. Mm, I hear a lot of rumors. Which one you talking about? The ones that say… I don’t have a heart. Oh, don’t be silly. If you didn’t have a heart, you wouldn’t be alive. Oh, how very clinical of you, dr… austin gatlin-holt. Now, where do I recognize… that name? Of course. You delivered my daughter.

I’m not here to hurl accusations or issue threats. Why not? Did plenty of that before you moved out. Don’t tell me you lost steam. Or maybe you found out I was suspended from the force for throwing a punch at you, and you came here to gloat. I regret that that happened. Do you regret feeding thanksgiving dinner to the family dog? Not really. I understand that passions were running high. It was thanksgiving. That’s what happens on family occasions. I’m not family. Yeah, I know this doesn’t help, but when I started to put it all together, I was totally blind-sided to find out I was bailey’s father. Well, brook lynn used both of us, I had my reasons. Alright, let’s not rehash that or the ramifications, ’cause that’s not why we’re here. What, are you here to talk elq business with my dad now that you’ve solidified your position as ceo? No. I’m just here because I want to say goodbye to my… …to bailey. Anna told me that you were back, but the story was too incredible to be true. Peter faked the plane crash and then held you captive for over two years? I wouldn’t have believed it myself if I hadn’t have lived through it. Unfortunately, others weren’t so lucky. Yeah. I still haven’t wrapped my mind around jason’s death. If only… if only what? If only I could go back in time to before peter was in our lives, when nathan was still alive. How would you change the past, maxine? Could you stop nathan from being killed? I would if I could. But I guess, at best,

[Sighs] I would go back to before I meet peter. Hmm. Before I fell in love with him. But we cannot go back in time, no matter how much we’d like to. Mm. When I was in prison, I just kind of kept focusing on the future, holding on to that, when I’d see scout again. And sam? Oh, wow. I should just keep my big mouth shut. No, it’s okay.

[ Chuckles ] It’s alright. I went to see them first thing, both of them. Scout and sam? Mm-hmm. How did that go? Dante was with them. Oh. Okay. Um… it’s been sort of a slow process with them. They…kind of got together trying to find you.

[ Sighs ] You know, james is gonna be really excited to see you.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t wait to see him, too. How’s he doing? Great. Good. Maxie, you don’t have to protect my feelings, okay? Sam and I were done long before peter abducted me. So you’re saying you’re okay with sam and dante? I’m trying to be. I mean, it’s not like I have any other choice. Well, it must have been great to see scout. It made everything that I went through to get home absolutely worthwhile. I know what you mean. You know, if I could go back in time, I-I don’t think I would, because then I wouldn’t have louise. You found your daughter? Is louise finally home? Please — please tell me about the circumstances surrounding louise’s birth. It kills me that I wasn’t there to welcome my daughter into this world. No, you certainly were not. You were too busy running from the police. You didn’t make it to the cabin, to my cabin, and the nurse that you hired to kidnap maxie tried to induce birth. You know, you put maxie and your own child at great risk. Who’s been feeding you all of this? I was there. You know that. Thank god I was. I was hiking in the woods. When I found maxie, she was already in labor. Then you may have been the last person to see my daughter before she was abducted. It’s a possibility. So what? So you were in the right place at the right time. Perhaps… you know what became of my daughter. Why don’t we take turns visiting sasha? That way, she’s not overwhelmed. No, there’s no need. You guys go ahead. I just got done seeing sasha and brando. Why are you still here? Carly, it — it’s fine. It’s fine, sonny. I know that carly is upset over the loss of jason. Don’t say his name. You know nothing about me and jason. Hey. I can’t do — I’m — I’m gonna go for a walk. Okay, let me go with you. I’m just gonna go see monica. I — hey. The… baby’s fine? Yeah, sasha should hear an update today. Alright. How can anything possibly be wrong with our baby? I mean, look at him. He’s adorable. It’s — it’s just that… I know, all those tubes that are hooked up to liam. I know. Hey, you have to remind yourself, those are making our little boy healthy. Yeah, yeah, like — like the cooling blanket. Exactly, and the love of his mommy and daddy. And what else does the little guy need?

[ Door opens ] Sasha, brando, I want to introduce you to dr. Fleming, your baby’s neonatologist. I’d say it’s nice to meet you, but, um… I understand. We were told that you had news about our baby.

Anna: I promise you, he is not here to make a scene. What, you come here to vouch for him? Anna’s my friend. This isn’t easy for me. Of course it’s not easy. None of this is easy. Especially for valentin, wouldn’t you say? I mean, you allowed him — you — in fact, you encouraged him to fall in love with your little girl, knowing that he wasn’t her father. You expect him to throw a switch and just not love her any longer? No, nobody is thinking that. But first, he showed up mad as hell, lashing out at brook lynn in the most hurtful way imaginable, and now he’s just here asking for her understanding? What do you want her to believe? Brook lynn feels guilty enough. How much longer are you gonna pile it on? I’m not here to pile on anymore guilt. That’s not why I’m here. Then you want closure with bailey? I don’t believe in closure. You think just ’cause I say goodbye, I’m gonna stop loving her? Then why are you here, valentin? Anna: That’s my fault. I insisted that he needed to do this. No, anna, nobody makes me do anything I don’t want to do. Listen, bailey’s far too young to understand any of this, but I haven’t told charlotte that she doesn’t have a sister, and I’m not going to be able to do that until I say goodbye to bailey. Brook lynn. My god, I knew this is how she would react. I knew that this is — she’s not gonna let me see bailey. No, no, she’s not back yet, but I’m just holding out hope that one day she will be. Are there any breaks in the case? I’m just hoping that now that peter’s in custody, whoever has taken louise will feel it’s safe to bring her back. So you think that someone took louise to protect her from peter? You think I’m deluding myself, don’t you? No, I think — I think you want your little girl back more than anything in the world, and if I could help, if I could make that happen, I would. Thank you. But I know in my heart that louise will be home one day, and it’ll make all of this worth it. All of what worth it? Things that I had to do because of peter. Things I never thought I would be forced to do. I know what you mean. Even if I did know where louise was — and I don’t — you’re the last person that I would tell. Make a fist. Yeah. That way, I can draw blood. This won’t hurt a bit. Oh, goodness me. I’m so sorry, I seem to have missed the vein. Let me just try that one more time. Oh, yeah, there we go. Success. Sorry about that. Ordinarily, I’m not so clumsy. Oh, you’re enjoying this, aren’t you? Yeah, absolutely. I love my job, always. And that hippocratic oath you took to be a doctor? Oh. Yeah, right. “Do no harm.” Yeah, it’s sticky, though. That’s the question. I mean, who gets harmed and who does not? Well, I suppose it’s the patients who are not to be harmed, though you couldn’t tell by the way you just stuck me. But you see, that’s my point. Maxie’s also my patient. So do no harm should apply to her, as well. And what is maxie to you, doctor? Monica, it’s, um…carly. I went by your office, but you weren’t there, and…

[ Sighs ] Well, I-I wanted to talk to you in person. But it’s probably better that this is on voicemail, because then you can just hang up if you want. Really hoping you don’T. I’m so sorry about jason. I’m so sorry you have to grieve him all over again. I mean, he was my best friend, but he was your son, and…

[ Sighs ] I know what that kind of pain feels like. Look, in all the years of squabbling and fighting, I don’t know if I ever… thanked you for jason. For the incredible human being he was. He loved you…so much. And I know you know that, I just thought that… I thought you might want to hear it. That’s all. Is this about liam’s hypothermia therapy? Is it working? Can liam come home soon?

[ Pager beeps ] I’m sorry. Oh, there’s an emergency in nicu. Not your baby. It’s okay. I got this. So getting back to your question, hypothermia therapy can take up to 72 hours, as you know. We still need to give your baby’s brain time to cool. What dr. Fleming wanted to tell you was that the eeg had been scheduled. And then what happens? We won’t know until we get the results. But you have an entire team dedicated to caring for liam, and I’ll be the liaison between them and you. Okay, good. Um, what — what can we do to help?

Just keep doing what you’re doing — sending a lot of love to that beautiful baby boy. And let the team at G.H. Continue to give him the best possible care. The waiting is so excruciating. I know. But we have to take it one day at a time. Let the therapy run its course. In the meantime, your baby needs you to take care of yourselves. Liam’s strong.

We have to be stronger. We will be. I know this is gonna sound ridiculous, but I kind of envy you. I’m not sure why. No, listen, you — you got the chance to confront peter. You let him take his best shot and you survived. You actually came out on top. At the cost of jason’s life. Yeah, I know. I hate that part. But at least peter doesn’t have power over you anymore. I mean, I would give anything to take away peter’s power to frighten me. You know what I used to tell scout and danny when they have a bad dream? I’d say, “look under the bed. Look in the closet, and when you see nothing but dust balls and clothes, then you’ll know… that the bogeyman has no power over you anymore.” Well, do tell. Just how friendly are you with the mother of my child? Maxie has a lot of friends. I’d be happy to be one of them. Oh, but you’re not? May I suggest you keep it that way. Is that a threat? I’m clearly in no position to threaten anyone, doctor, but I am a born romantic, and I do believe the fates will conspire to reunite my family. Yeah, I don’t believe in fate. I do. Sometimes fate needs a helping hand. Bye-bye. Such fun meeting you today. Carly: Hey, britt. Carly. Sonny’s around here somewhere. I just — we were just coming to see sasha. I just came from her room. How is she? Sasha’s good. Strong. I’m sure she’d love to see you. Yeah. Well, maybe in a few minutes. I don’t want to walk in there with my baggage.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] How are you?

[ Chuckles ] I just want to say fine. I came here because I wanted to support sasha and brando, but it’s not like there’s anything I can do for them. Just like there’s nothing I can do for jason. Right? How am I? I’m sad. And I’m scared. Because I don’t know what the rest of my life looks like without him. You know? Well, you know what? You’ll figure it out.

[ Scoffs ] You will. You know how I know? Jason told me. He had complete faith in you. And you know jason doesn’t say things just to be nice. He said it because he believed it, that you are strong enough to get through anything.

[ Sighs ] I was, when I had him to back me up. I didn’t have to be good enough or strong enough for jason. I could just be me. That’s an amazing feeling, you know? To have someone you can count on, no matter what. And jason gave me that feeling. And now he’s gone.

[ Sighs ] I know… god, I know how grief works, and the only way… out is through. And then someday, when I say, “I’m fine,” I’ll mean it, you know? I-I know. Yeah. Right now…you can’t even imagine that day. Nope. Me neither. Which probably sounds ridiculous. It doesn’T. Not to me.

[ Whispering ] Thank you. Take care of yourself. I’m sorry, brook lynn — she wanted to be alone. You know, I did warn you that honor is in short supply in this house and so is compassion. So if I were you, I would take that beautiful daughter of yours and I would go far, far away before brook lynn turns her into a quartermaine. Let’s go. Brook lynn: Not yet. Yeah, somebody misses you very much.

[ Bailey coos ]

Chase: Maybe we should give the guy some privacy. No, that’s not necessary. Bailey and i have no secrets. We’ll leave that to others in this house. You are a beautiful little girl. I have to go. And we may never see one another again, at least not for a long, long time. But I wanted to say goodbye. And I don’t know… how to find the strength to do that. So what should we call this? Hey, have you been in to see sasha? No, I was just waiting for you. Thank you. Um…I’m ready. Okay, let’s do this. Can I get you anything? Hmm? You want water? Another blanket? The only thing I need is for our baby to get healthy. And he will. I know he will. No child made by “sword” and “defender of man” can be otherwise. Sasha means “defender of man”? I looked it up when I looked at brando. Hmm. Strong-willed son, daddy, who’s a sword, and mommy, who defends us both. We are quite the family.

[ Exhales sharply ] Family. I can’t tell you how good that sounds. A family. People that I-I-I can lean on. People that can see you when you’re scared and vulnerable.

[ Sighs ] Not the face of deception. So, yeah, I’m your family. You’re my family. And liam is our family. Small. But plenty big in heart.

[ Knock on door, door opens ] -Hi. -Hey. Well, rumor has it you guys are up for visitors. The more, the merrier. Sonny: [ Chuckles ] Ohh. Let me tell you something, if, um… we got your back. If you need anything, you just ask. Dr. Westbourne, I just met your brother. Uh, peter is not a brother to me. We share a father, that’s all. Well, he’s my patient now. Let me guess. You want to be taken off his case? No, not at all. I want you to keep me on it. How about I take a pass on that ct scan? I’m feeling a bit claustrophobic since that tunnel fell on me. No? Alright. Well, in that case, I’ll take a very large muscle relaxant. Bridget, just push my meeting back until tomorrow, okay? I’m running late at the hospital, and I’m probably not gonna make it to the office and — wait! You know what? Let me just call you back. Darn it. Nina reeves, look at you. So alive and well. Looks like we’re both extremely hard to kill. I brought you something. This is the oldest thing I have. This was mine. And it got me through some tough nights. I want you to have it. And then, one day, you’ll ask your mommy and daddy where it came from, and they’ll have to tell you it came from someone who loved you so…much.

[ Bailey coos ]

Will you? That will never work! You guys, we came here to cheer you up, not get all emotional. We were just saying how important it is to have family to lean on. It is, and you have us, and you have each other. Sonny and I know how terrifying it is to wait for word on your baby’s health. Brando told me donna had spina bifida. You both must have been scared out of your minds. Yeah, that’s an understatement. Yeah. How’d you two get through it? We just — we leaned heavily on each other. Yeah. And when I was scared, sonny let me be scared. You really were strong for me. And you were for me. You know, as frightening as it was, it really brought us closer together. I’m sure it’s the same for you, right? I’m sorry the three of us missed thanksgiving at your place. Must have been wonderful to have everyone together. You know what? Next year, are three of you are coming. Looking forward to it. So…have you named your son yet? Yeah, we did. Liam mike. Short for michael, after the man who was so good to me when I was growing up. My dad would have been very honored. You want to see him? Yeah, I’ve been waiting for you to ask me.

[ Laughs ] Carly: [ Sighs ] He wants to be so strong for me.

[ Bailey coos ] Chase: I know he said otherwise, but let’s give the man some privacy. Anna, please don’t go. Look at this little gift he’s giving you. It’s so beautiful. Hey, what’s wrong? It just — it upsets me to see someone separated from a child that they love. I know, but couldn’t be helped. Valentin thought he was bailey’s father, but… you are, yeah. Yeah, I know. Monica told me. Hey. I know that valentin and the quartermaines have had their issues, but I may not even be here right now if it wasn’t for valentin and anna and… my brother jason, may he rest in peace.

[ Sighs ] Tell me, doctor, do you feel this kind of loyalty to all the mothers of all the babies you’ve delivered? Oh, given the circumstances of louise’s birth and her bizarre disappearance, can you blame me?

[ Sighs ] Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea for you to keep an eye on peter. Right. Your enemy’s enemies and all that. Let’s just say you have a peculiar habit of being around when things go wrong, whether it’s maxie giving birth in the woods or peter showing up to G.H. Or when you lose a dear friend? Dr. Westbourne, I don’t think things could get much worse, so let’s hope they get better soon. What is this man doing here? Why isn’t he locked up in pentonville? Oh, you didn’t hear about jason morgan nearly killing me? Because of him, I require medical attention. What a shame. Too bad jason’s aim wasn’t better. Ms. Reeves and i are practically family. You know how heated family squabbles can get. So tell me, did your friend mike finally fly to your rescue or what? You son of a bitch. There’s a place in hell reserved just for you. You know, people keep telling me that. But I venture to think you’ll beat me there.

I made a vow — no more waterworks. My baby and brando need me. Oh, brando and liam need you to get better, which means you have to rest. Also means, whether you like it or not, you have to do what the nurses tell you. Yeah. Epiphany and elizabeth have had great fun bossing me around.

[ Laughs ] I bet they have. Look, I know this isn’t the experience that you’d hoped for, but it sounds like to me, you’ll be able to go home soon. And we will be taking liam mike with us. I like the way you think. I’m gonna go… and let you rest.

[ Whispering ] Alright. Carly, thank you. Thank you for being such a good friend to me. My pleasure. I’m always here for you. Always. You hear that, liam? You will be coming home with us. The tubes, they feed liam, and — and there’s a special blanket that helps cool him down to help his brain recover from the lack of oxygen. Sounds backwards. Yeah, I know, right?

[ Both laugh ] You’d think they were meant to keep him warm, but it’s the opposite effect. You know, you’re never more raw and vulnerable as when you become a father. How do you do it, sonny? How do you handle the constant fear? You just don’t let it dominate your life. I always picture, like… donna’s smile, avery’s laugh. I know my — you know, kristina and michael and dante, they’re grown up, but I still worry about them. And I’m not josslyn’s biological father, but I consider her my daughter. I’m her dad. Let me tell you something, nothing’s scarier than a teenage girl.

[ Both laugh ] But one thing I’ve learned from, you know, raising kids is… you — you have absolutely no control. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] That — that is a lesson that’s tough for me to learn. But you did a great job. Gave him a great name. Liam mike. Little irish charm. My dad’s, uh… my dad’s fighting spirit. You know? What makes you so sure he’s got it? What do you mean, why I think he’s not gonna be a quitter? Because it runs in the family. I have a feeling you don’t want to keep tabs on peter out of some sort of professional interest. I am concerned about maxie’s physical well-being and her emotional well-being, especially now that I met the father of her child. No one is underestimating the harm peter is capable of causing. But he is being guarded 24/7. And once he is released from the hospital, he’ll be locked away for the rest of his unnatural life. Maybe. But having just spent a little bit of time with him, he doesn’t sound like a guy who’s giving up on getting his family back. What does he sound like? Sounds like a high-stakes poker player who’s very pleased with himself that he still has an ace up his sleeve. In france, they say “au revoir,” mon ange, which means “until we meet again.” Au revoir, mon ange. Come on. Let’s go. Excuse me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] It’s done. Okay? You ready to go? Too many lies. Too many hearts broken. Too many lives destroyed. This has to stop. Would it be possible if we just had a second? I mean, he’s — he’s not gonna go anywhere, right? Just, please? Really, officers. It’s fine. I’ll be fine. You can go. What do you intend to do? Me? Yeah, you. Oh, I don’t have to lift a finger. No, nina, 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. That feisty carly corinthos. Frankly, nina, to tell you the truth, I’m quite surprised to see you here in town. I would have thought carly would have run you out on a rail by now, right after tarring and feathering you first, of course. Or doesn’t she know?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jill: I assume you’re accusing me of losing faith in you because lily explained my plans to you.

Billy: You’re stepping down as ceo at chancellor and appointing her as your successor. Yeah, she filled me in.

Jill: I was hoping that you’d be happy for her.

Billy: Who says I’m not? I think it’s an amazing opportunity and she will be fantastic in that role if she chooses to take it.

Jill: “If”?

Billy: Well, we’re a team, mother, and a damn good one. But you know that. You’re the one that put us together in the first place.

Jill: Well, I don’t want to separate you. I’m hoping that you’ll come and work at chancellor industries.

Billy: In a lesser role, so you’re not exactly kicking me to the curb, but you’re not standing by me either.

Jill: Billy, please try to understand why I have to do this.

Billy: Get it, okay? It’s crystal clear. Right now I want to know what your plan is for chanccomm.

Jill: It’s too early to say.

Billy: Lily told me you’re thinking about selling it.

Jill: That is an option I’m considering.

Billy: Okay. Well, as much as I hate hearing that, I can make peace with it as long as you don’t sell it to victor and adam. With everything they did to me, they should not be rewarded for their behavior.

Jill: Well, I’m not thinking about it in those terms, and i can’t do as you’re asking. I mean, I will do what’s best for chancellor industries. It’s a business decision.

Billy: Yeah, it sure as hell doesn’t feel that way, because to me, it feels like you’re siding with the newmans over your own son.

Tessa: Ahh.

Mariah: What is this monstrosity?

Tessa: [ Laughs ] This is what you get when the woman you love used to be a barista and knows all the tricks of the trade.

Mariah: It’S…obscene, but it looks obscenely delicious. So thank you. You do realize I — I kicked my caffeine tolerance when I was pregnant.

Tessa: Oh, well, okay. Well, I will happily drink it if you’re not interested.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no. Hands off. This is mine. It’s all mine.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Thank you for taking such good care of me.

Tessa: Well, I just wanted to show you how glad I am that you’re taking a break from work.

Mariah: This is actually my second break today.

Tessa: Oh, what’d you do on the first one?

Mariah: I went over to devon’s to see the baby.

Tessa: Oh, yeah? Oh, well, how is the baby?

Mariah: He’s great. He’s as handsome as ever, and i even got a few giggles out of him.

Tessa: Oh. Baby giggles are the best.

[ Chuckles ] Well, sounds like he’s thriving, and abby will be very relieved when she gets home.

Mariah: Whenever that is.

Devon: I know you like hanging out with me, buddy, but don’t you want to go to sleep and dream about all the things you’re gonna do when you’re big and you’re strong. All the people you’re gonna meet. Places you’re gonna go. All the adventures you’re gonna go on. Just got to get some rest first, okay? Let’s get some rest.

[ Grunts ] That’s my little guy.

[ Knock on door ] And there’s the door. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Amanda: Oh, my god, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry.

Devon: It’s okay.

[ Dominic fusses ]

Amanda: Hey, shh, the baby’s sleeping.

Imani: [ Gasps ] Oh.

Amanda: Try and be quiet.

Imani: Ohh. Ohh! So cute.

Amanda: Isn’t he so adorable when he’s sleeping?

Devon: He’s adorable all the time.

Imani: Of course he is. Oh, what a cutie. What’s it like having a baby here 24/7?

Devon: It’s a lot. Let’s go over there an talk, though.

Amanda: Okay.

Devon: Never a dull moment, I’ll tell you that. What’s on the agenda for you guys today?

Imani: You didn’t tell him?

Amanda: No, well, I was just about to, but you barged in.

Imani: Okay, let me tell him, please. I think this is something he needs to hear from me.

Jill: Oh, I don’t deserve that.

Billy: Oh, yeah?

Jill: Have you forgotten how you got the job at chanccomm in the first place?

Billy: How am I supposed to forget that? You remind me every chance you get.

Jill: Because it doesn’t sink in with you. You were at rock bottom, one more time. Nobody believed more in you than I did.

Billy: And I let you down? Is that the point you’re trying to make? Because that’s what you’re telling the world, that you share victor newman’s low opinion of me.

Jill: Oh, leave him out of this.

Billy: Leave him — how am I supposed to leave victor out of this? He’s the one that set this whole thing in motion. He set the trap that I fell into, and now, because of that, my own mother has given up on me.

Jill: I’ve done no such thing.

Billy: I understand you’re disappointed in me, but let me just tell you something. Right now the feeling is mutual. I brought in ensure max protein,

Imani: Today is a very big day for us. Amanda and I are going house hunting for my parents. They want to find a place that’s close by, like something across the hall or maybe right downstairs. That way, naya would be able to pop in on you two whenever the mood strikes.

Amanda: Do not believe a word that she is saying.

[ Laughter ] Imani, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Imani: Did you see the look on his face?

Devon: I didn’t have a look. What are you — what’s going on?

Amanda: Okay, well, the truth is we are going —

Imani: To look for a new space for our new law practice.

Devon: Really?

Amanda: You see that? Now he’s never, ever gonna believe a word that you say. No, but she’s right, we are actually going office hunting today.

Devon: You are?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: That’s great. That’s really great. I know you guys have been looking forward to doing that.

Imani: Yeah.

Amanda: I haven’t been able to focus on anything until sutton’s trial is over, so now i just feel like I can start this new chapter of my life, and I’m excited.

Devon: It’s very exciting. This is — it’s a big change for you, too. How do you think it’s gonna be after working for so many under your grandfather?

Imani: You know me, I like a challenge.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, hey, if you guys need any help with setting up the office space or finding a designer, let me know.

Amanda: Yeah, naya gave us the exact same offer, but i don’t know, I think that imani and I are looking forward to making this happen on our own.

Devon: Okay, I hear you. Do you guys already have a list of places you’re interested in?

Amanda: Um, yes, we have a few very promising spots.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: Nice, alright. Well, I’ll get out of your hair and let you guys do it and wish you luck.

Imani: Oh, she doesn’t need luck. She’s got me.

[ Laughter ] Bye.

Devon: Have fun, guys.

Imani: Thank you.

Tessa: What happened to putting ourselves in abby’s shoes?

Mariah: They got a little tight.

Tessa: Imagine if one of us, god forbid, died suddenly, far from home, without ever getting a chance to say goodbye.

Mariah: Tessa, I would be crushed, and I’m sure abby is devastated. I mean, losing chance has got to be heartbreaking for her. All I’m saying is wild horses couldn’t tear me away from my child. And nobody knows where she’s gone or when she’s gonna be coming back.

Tessa: Wait, abby hasn’t been in contact with anybody?

Mariah: Well, no, devon told me earlier that, you know, she sent a text and she wanted to do a live-stream with the baby.

Tessa: Well, that’s good. Abby wanted to see his sweet little face in real-time. And she’s making sure that he’s okay. That’s all that matters is that she knows that he’s being taken care of. And not just that, loved and doted on.

Jill: What do you expect from me? Do you honestly believe that you are fit to run an international conglomerate?

Billy: I ran jabot.

Jill: Yeah, and we all know how that turned out.

Billy: Up until a few days ago, you were thrilled with chanccomm’s success. Our revenue was through the roof. Our audience grew exponentially. We had award-winning, amazing journalists on our team.

Jill: And yet you were willing to risk all that success to re-ignite your feud with victor and adam.

Billy: It’s funny that you see it that way. All of this, from the beginning, was about protecting johnny and katie. You know his nickname is the locke ness monster. And he’s about to become my kids’ stepdad, so, yeah, mom, i looked into him. And victor had the same instinct. For a second, I thought we were actually gonna work together. And if he cared about his daughter as much as he pretends he does, we probably would have. Ashland turned out to be more ruthless than everyone thought, and victor started to identify with him, so they formed an alliance and they came after me.

Jill: And you just couldn’t let it go.

Billy: I did let it go.

Jill: Well, that’s not what i heard.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Jill: No, I heard you paid a small fortune to this jesse gaines to stop the wedding. Not only that, you antagonized two of the most powerful men in the world. I mean, how in the hell did you think that would end?

Billy: Gaines sent me a video detailing all of locke’s crimes, and I had everything I needed in my hands to topple victor and locke.

Jill: Well, what happened to it?

Billy: I deleted it. I deleted it to protect victoria, okay? And I thought, at that point, it would be enough to end all of this.

Jill: Oh, my god, why did you go to such extremes in all this?

Billy: Because, mother, i have already lost one kid, and I’m not gonna let that happen again.

Jill: Oh, darling. Darling… look, there has never been a hint that ashland was a threat to your children, and surely you couldn’t believe that victoria would put them in danger. So please tell me, why were you so bound and determined to stop that wedding? Is it because you still have feelings for victoria?

May you have joy, comfort and peace.

Billy: I love lily, let me be very clear. She feels like home to me, and i expect this to last the rest of my life. Victoria and I, we’re nothing more than co-parents. That’s it.

Jill: But then why were you so compelled to keep her from moving forward, even putting chanccomm at risk?

Billy: Look, I didn’t expect it to go this far, and I probably should have.

Jill: Maybe your motivation is that you just cannot resist battling your nemesis. I mean, the gambler in you has to have that rush.

Billy: Okay, again, I did set all this aside. And then victor came to me, face-to-face, and told me that he was going to get his revenge. He was gonna come after chanccomm. Look, I’m not proud of some of the things that I did, alright? But I was trying to live up to my commitment to you, to lily, to our staff, and so I grabbed the only weapon that I could get my hands on.

Jill: Blackmail.

Billy: I never intended for that article to see the light of day. And then victor and adam hacked into our system and authorized the release of it to get leverage over me. And, yes, I shouldn’t have sunk to their level.

Jill: I just gave you too much power, that’s all. I gave you too much power before you were prepared to know how to use it.

Billy: Mom, everything was fine. Everything was great until ashland came into the picture.

Jill: You know what? You have to be in a position where you’re free to generate your genius ideas, where you can capitalize on your talents, darling.

Billy: Yeah, okay, so you still want to give me a nice, little soft landing spot? Let me be very clear here. I am not going to accept the coo position at chancellor.

Jill: God, stop it, stop it! This is what’s wrong with you! You are so damn impulsive.

Billy: There it is. Is that what you’ve wanted to say this whole entire conversation? Thank you very much for that. I appreciate it. Means a lot.

Jill: [ Inhales sharply ]

Tessa: Oh, noah, come sit down!

Mariah: Hey!

Tessa: Hi.

Noah: That is not on the menu.

Mariah: Oh, absolutely not, no.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: Oh, oh, you don’t remember? I used to be a barista here. And if you want one, you’ll have to listen to my songs.

Noah: I know. I’m sorry it’s taken me so long.

Tessa: Mm-hmm, try forever.

Noah: Look, I just wanted to wait until I had a moment to give it my complete attention. So this morning, I went out for a walk and I completely immersed myself in your music.

Tessa: Uh…

Mariah: And?

Noah: It was…you know.

Mariah: What?! Excuse me!

Noah: I’m messing with you. It was great. No, I loved it, seriously.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Noah: Honestly, it was — it was haunting. Unforgettable. Your voice, it has such a purity to it. And the songs are beautiful. It was — it was all really unique.

Tessa: Wow, you really think so?

Mariah: Excuse me. I tell you that all the time, and yet when he says it, you believe him.

Tessa: Well, wait, okay, whoa, whoa.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: That’s different. You’re biased.

Mariah: I know genius when i see it, so…

Noah: You know, she’s not wrong. I think you got a hit here.

Mariah: Believe him.

Tessa: Wow, I was so scared that the reason that you weren’t talking to me is because you didn’t like it and you couldn’t figure out how to tell me.

[ Laughs ]

Noah: Look, I promise, I’ll always be honest with you. And honestly, tessa, I love the songs.

Lily: Aww, what an adorable little guy.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: I just want to grab him and squeeze those little cheeks and his pudgy legs.

Devon: Oh, you do that, you can go ahead and work on putting him back down for his nap.

Lily: Oh, stop, I’m not gonna wake him up, okay?

Devon: We both thank you.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I think it’s great what you’re doing for abby. And I love seeing you dote over a little baby. It agrees with you.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, this guy makes it very, very easy. Very easy. Is that why you came over here, though, to get your baby fix?

Lily: Well, that’s part of it. And also, I could use your advice. When they’re sick, they get comfortable anywhere

Tessa: Okay, you loved the songs — check. Caffeine fix — check. Now tell me all your ideas for the album cover.

Noah: Well, damn, you come up with all those killer songs overnight?

Tessa: Yeah, like in an hour.

Noah: Oh, right, okay.

[ Chuckles ] Look, we both know inspiration takes time. You know, I got to sit with it for a little while, live it, let the music breathe, listen to it a couple dozen more times.

Mariah: Mm-hmm, do a ton of procrastinating.

Noah: Yes, that too, actually. And then — and only then — will the images start to flow.

Tessa: So you’re gonna torture me.

Noah: Yes.

Tessa: Ugh.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Mariah: Who is it?

Tessa: It’s my manager. I need to take this, but I will be right back.

Noah: It’s good to see you taking some time off work.

Mariah: Well, somebody had to babysit the artists.

Noah: Speaking of babies, i heard that abby really did leave town after all, just like you thought. That must be a little upsetting.

Mariah: Yeah, tessa and i were just talking about that.

Noah: Oh, yeah?

Mariah: Tessa’s right, as usual. Yeah, abby is doing the best that she can under the circumstances. I would hate people criticizing me when — if — I’m a mother, you know.

Noah: Well, you think you’re so special that you’ll be the one exception?

Mariah: [ Scoffs ] I’m not special?

Noah: Oh, no, you’re special, yeah.

Mariah: Okay, okay.

Noah: No, come on.

Mariah: Chill.

Noah: Come on, you’re free-spirited. You know, you’re free-spirited, flouting convention. Your kids will be the ones with purple hair, singing in the checkout line, wearing stripes and plaids together.

Mariah: Mm, yep, that sounds about right.

Noah: And I’ll love them like crazy. Although there will be people who disapprove, but who cares what they think?

Mariah: Definitely not me.

Noah: It seems like you’re doing really well. And it seems like things are going good with tessa, too.

Mariah: Yeah, they are. You know, we’ve had a pretty chaotic few months, so…

Noah: Yeah, yeah, that’s the understatement of the century.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] Thank you, but, yeah, we’re in a really good place now.

Noah: I’m glad to hear it. Really. That’s not always easy, remembering why you got together in the first place. Sometimes it can be harder than it sounds.

Mariah: Wow. Somebody really did a number on you.

Imani: We’re on step closer to opening our law office.

Amanda: Yeah! I’m glad that we were able to see everything that was out there.

Imani: If anyone would have told me when we first met that one day we’d be going into business together…

Amanda: Mm, you would have laughed really, really hard.

Imani: And then banished them from my life for all eternity.

Amanda: We certainly have come a long way from when you served me with that restraining order.

Imani: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: But now, what should we celebrate with?

Imani: [ Inhales sharply ] I always like a nice bordeaux. But since we’re on the verge of signing our first lease, I think this occasion deserves something truly spectacular.

Amanda: Champagne?

Imani: Ooh, good idea. And it’s my treat.

Amanda: No, no.

Imani: No, I don’t think you understand. I’ve never considered working any other career besides working for sutton.

Amanda: Really?

Imani: Well, I thought about doing other things, but then when I brought up the idea in front of our grandfather, i learned to keep my mouth shut.

Amanda: Yeah, I’m sure that that was really hard.

Imani: Mm-hmm. Don’t get me started. It was the path of least resistance.

[ Sighs ] But now I get to work with my big sister, which is going to be a wonderful experience. I can’t wait to get started.

Amanda: You know, I love that I didn’t just gain a sibling, but I gained a partner. Okay, so, you know, now, before we celebrate, maybe we need to figure out which space we like best.

Imani: Okay, why don’t list the pros and cons of each location?

Amanda: We could do that, but there is one place…

Imani: That you loved?

Amanda: Mm, that is perfect.

Imani: Are you thinking about the same place I’m thinking about?

Amanda: We must be. The storefront.

Imani: The high-rise.

Amanda: Hmm.

Devon: Alright, so you need my, uh — my advice on your love life with the bad boy of chanccomm?

Lily: The bad boy of chanccomm?

[ Laughs ] No, billy — billy and I are good.

Devon: Yeah? I saw that article that you guys put out about locke, and then the sketchy retraction.

Lily: Okay, first of all, that story was true, but the newmans blackmailed our one and only source to recant the story, and, you know, now jill is here to put out the fire.

Devon: I’m sure, too, to be with the family because of what happened to chance.

Lily: Yeah, of course, but, you know, I talked to her, and she’s had it up to her eyebrows with billy, and now she’s thinking of selling off chanccomm just to was her hands of it.

Devon: She really is? I didn’t know it was that bad. Where’s that gonna leave you?

Lily: If I tell you, you cannot tell anyone.

Devon: Okay, yeah, I won’t say anything.

Lily: Jill is thinking of retiring and making me ceo of chancellor.

Devon: Get out of here.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: Really?!

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Oh, my gosh!

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Well, congratulations. Geez, you’re — that’s — you’re gonna run my grandmother’s company.

Lily: Yeah, right?

Devon: Man. Neil would be so damn proud of you. I’m sure he’s smiling at you right now. He’d want to throw a party. We should.

Lily: Yeah, that’s what jill said.

Devon: Are you — am I the only one who’s happy?

Lily: No, no, I’m — I’m happy.

Devon: I’ve seen you happy before, and this ain’t it.

[ Scoffs ] What’s wrong? Have you talked to billy about it? Does he know about this offer?

Lily: Yeah, no, I’ve talked to him. He’s thrilled, you know? I think he’s just upset with himself for the choices he’s made and upset with jill for not believing in him, and furious with adam and victor for, you know, sabotaging us.

Devon: Yeah. Well, that’s a lot of anger to be holding on to.

Lily: Yeah, exactly. And I’m afraid of where it’s gonna be directed.

Adam: Good to see you, billy. How are you enjoying early retirement?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: I guess I need to remind you that my offer to step down from chanccomm was contingent on victor getting ashland to drop his lawsuit, which never happened. So I guess you and daddy don’t have as much control over locke as you thought. Never trust a man who steals his best friend’s identity and his mentor’s fortune.

Adam: Hmm. I heard locke and victoria made their own offer for chanccomm, so that’ll make things more interesting.

Billy: Yeah, adam, you got played. And I know how hard you worked to bring me down, you’re not gonna have anything to show for it when I land on my feet again.

Adam: Well, that remains to be seen. Newman media could still scoop up the remains of chanccomm. But you know what? The ugly truth is it doesn’t matter who gets it because nobody wants you attached. So I’m gonna settle for the sweet satisfaction that you paid the price for releasing that exposé about me, because as far as I’m concerned, that’s what all this is about.

Billy: And there it is, the new-and-improved adam still holds a grudge.

Adam: Billy, the next time that you are wallowing in booze and self-pity, which I assume will be in any minute now, i just want you to remember — you brought all of this on yourself.

Noah: Well, you know the old saying — “what happens in london stays in london.”

Mariah: Nobody has said that ever, not once.

Noah: Oh, okay. Well, how about “no comment,” then?

Mariah: All I’m trying to say is I don’t really care why you’re here, I’m just really glad that you are.

Noah: Thank you.

Mariah: And I hope that you’re staying because you want to be here, not because you’re avoiding something or someone across the pond.

Noah: No, I’m glad to be back. Yeah, I want to take this time, relax, recharge, think about what comes next.

Mariah: What comes next is an iconic album cover for tessa.

Noah: Yes, yes, I’m honored that she would ask me. I think this project will be good, keep my creative juices flowing.

Mariah: And it’s gonna introduce you to, like, a whole new audience. But if you need a diversion, I have the perfect thing.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Noah: What is this?

Mariah: This is christian’s pee-wee basketball schedule. If you need to let off some steam, there is nothing like screaming your head off in the bleachers.

Noah: Well, it sounds fun. I’m in.

Amanda: The storefront is the ideal location.

Imani: Perfect spot if we’re opening a shoe store or a deli. We need a place that’s aspirational, that speaks to our clientele.

Amanda: Well, we are not focusing on corporate law, so we have a wide range of clients, and it is important that our place doesn’t feel too elitist or imposing.

Imani: But the storefront is miles away from the courthouse. And don’t you think the high-rise, it lends a certain air of professionalism and legitimacy?

Amanda: We should be impressing people based on our results, not on our address.

Imani: Well, you’re the one with the impressive track record. I’m just starting out.

Amanda: I’m also the mentor, so maybe you should take my advice and take a breath.

Imani: Mm, and have some champagne.

Amanda: No, no, not yet. We — [ Sighs ] We do need to figure this out. Okay, um…you know, there is one option that we still haven’t discussed.

Imani: The converted victorian.

Amanda: It is steps away from the courthouse, so it checks that box.

Imani: And it’s street-level, so it won’t be intimidating.

Amanda: It’s homey.

Imani: Traditional and classic.

Amanda: Oh, gosh, and it’s gorgeous. Did you see those hardwood floors?

Imani: I was too busy crying over the high ceilings and the fireplace.

Amanda: Well, I love the way that that place is just flooded with natural light.

Imani: I already know how I’m decorating my office.

Amanda: Oh, and how do you know that that’s your office? What if I want it to be mine?

Imani: Okay, we can fight about that later.

Amanda: [ Laughs ] Okay, fair enough. I guess we just have to call the listing agent and put down a deposit.

Imani: Agreed.

Amanda: Ooh!

Imani: Now, can we please enjoy this champagne?

Amanda: Yes, yes, we can. Okay. To sinclair and benedict, attorneys at law.

Imani: Mm, maybe it should be benedict and sinclair.

Amanda: Girl. I’ve been telling everyone,

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: What did I miss?

Mariah: Oh, um, pee-wee basketball and your album cover.

Tessa: Ooh, I hope it’s not a mash-up.

Noah: No, no, no, separate topics.

[ Laughter ] Hey, what do you want the cover to look like, though? What feelings do you want to leave your listeners with?

Tessa: Hmm. Okay. I want something that is evocative and looks good even when it’s about an inch high.

Mariah: For streaming purposes.

Tessa: Yeah.

Noah: Oh.

Tessa: Um…hmm. Ideally, every time you look at it, it gives you something else to discover. Something to imagine, something that you notice, you know?

Noah: Something like this?

Tessa: Uh, yeah. Oh, that’s beautiful. I love it.

Mariah: Yeah.

Noah: Also got that one.

Mariah: Oh, wow.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh. Wow, these are perfect.

Noah: Also those.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] Wow. Uh…yeah, I mean, I think we speak each other’s language. I want something just like this.

Noah: But totally different, right?

Tessa: Oh, yeah, I mean, you get me. Wow, I am so excited. This is gonna be so much fun.

Noah: Yeah, I’m already inspired.

Tessa: Well, let’s get to work.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Look, I know what you mean when you say that victor and adam were taking advantage of billy’s weaknesses, but really hurt is when they take advantage of his strengths.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, billy would do anything to protect chanccomm from them, you know? It’s his baby. It’s our baby.

Devon: Yeah, I know. I get it. He didn’t want to let his people down.

Lily: And listen, I’m not innocent in this either, right? Like, I also got drawn in to victor and adam’s schemes and was willing to do whatever it took to protect what billy and i had built together.

Devon: Yeah, but you reined yourself in, whereas billy couldn’T. And that’s the difference, right?

Lily: Yeah, but I — I’m not upset with him, you know? I don’t want to punish him for what he did. His heart was in the right place. I just want to help him through this.

Devon: I’ll tell you this, what you have with billy, i mean, it’s a far cry from what you had going on in your marriage.

Lily: Yeah, no, I mean, even though we disagree a lot with work, I never feel like our relationship is in jeopardy, you know? We’ve never betrayed each other. I’ve never questioned how he feels about me. You know, we’re just happy that we found each other. We make our relationship the priority. It’s more important than any job.

Devon: So you’re in love. Right?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yes, very much so.

Devon: Then all you have to do is make sure that he knows that.

Adam: You know, I don’t have to stop you, billy, ’cause you’re gonna fail. This whole thing, it’s gonna blow up in your face. And, man, I can’t wait to have a front-row seat to your humiliation.

Jill: Coming! What the hell do you want? We do it every night.

Devon: Well, let me know how everything goes in the studio, and send me those audio tracks as soon as you can, too. Okay, thank you.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: Where’s our little dominic?

Devon: Louise has him upstairs for his bath.

Amanda: Oh. Mm.

Devon: How are you doing?

Amanda: Mm, I’m good. What, you’re trying to get work done? How much work did you get done?

Devon: I got a little bit done.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Enough. How did office hunting go?

Amanda: Oh, well, after some negotiating and compromise, i think that we’ve found a space that speaks to both of us.

Devon: Really?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: That’s faster than i anticipated, ’cause imani can be a little imani, you know?

Amanda: Yes, well, I toned her down a little bit.

Devon: That’s good.

Amanda: Yeah. How was your day here with dominic?

Devon: Ooh, something very special happened today.

Amanda: Ooh, what?

Devon: You know the rattle — his favorite rattle — that he always smiles at?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: So I was dangling it over his head, and he reached up and grabbed it by himself and started shaking it.

Amanda: What?

Devon: All by himself.

Amanda: [ Laughs ] The student becomes the teacher.

Devon: I mean, he’s obviously a prodigy.

Amanda: [ Laughs ] Well, if I had taken any longer to get home, you would have been filling out college applications.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: I’ve already started thinking about that. I’m thinking he can follow in neil and mattie’s footsteps and go to stanford.

Amanda: So, yale is not good enough?

Devon: I mean, you want me to add that to the list? Will that make you happy?

Amanda: That will make me very happy.

Devon: Okay.

[ Both laugh ]

Amanda: But I’m already so happy.

Devon: How happy are you?

Amanda: Mm.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Devon: Oh, no.

Amanda: Oh, somebody has horrible timing.

Devon: It’s probably work. Oh, it’s ashley. Hang on a second. Hey, how’s everything going in spain? You’re kidding. That’s fantastic. That’s — okay. Yeah, no, that’s — that’s — that’ll be just fine. Alright, I appreciate you calling me and keeping me updated. Alright, fly safe.

Amanda: What did she say?

Devon: Ashley and jack found abby and they’re bringing her home.

Amanda: Oh, my gosh, that is amazing. They must be so relieved.

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Yeah, is — is abby okay?

Devon: Yeah, she must be fine, ’cause ashley said that when they land, abby wants to come here and get dominic and bring him back home.

Jill: Well, what is it?

Adam: Well, first I’d like to extend my sincerest sympathies regarding your grandson’s death. He was an incredibly brave and decent man.

Jill: Damn few like him.

Adam: You know that he saved my life.

Jill: You know, you are the last person in the world I want to take a stroll down memory lane with, so if that’s all you’ve come to say, please.

Adam: There is another matter that I would like to discuss — the future of chanccomm.

Jill: Oh. That company that you tried to bring to its knees.

Adam: I am sure that billy has over-exaggerated the extent of my involvement in his little pr debacle. But, yes, I did offer help to my new brother-in-law when he fell victim to the same personal attacks that billy has launched against me over the years. The entire family begged billy to ease up on the attacks, but unfortunately, he wouldn’t listen to reason, not even from victoria. So the courts were ashland’s only recourse.

Jill: Hmm. Poor ashland. So vulnerable, so helpless.

Adam: Look, I know that you feel protective over billy, and he has definitely come to rely on your support over the years.

Jill: Whoa, whoa, whoa. I don’t think you want to go there because all of your present-day success you owe to victor’s generosity and forgiveness.

Adam: The point is you are a shrewd businesswoman, and I know that you’re not gonna let personal issues get in the way of what’s best for chanccomm.

Jill: You’re right, I’m shrewd enough to know why you’re here. You are here to salvage the mess that you’ve made and get back in daddy’s good graces.

Adam: Okay, I think you’re misinterpreting my intent.

Jill: No, I don’t think I am. You trash billy, you shrink chanccomm’s value so you can pick it up at a bargain-basement price. Ain’t gonna happen, buddy. So brainstorm a plan “B.”

Adam: Well, thank you for the advice.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Adam: We’ll be in touch.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

[ Laughs ] Can you believe that guy?

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Hey.

Lily: What are you doing sitting here alone?

Billy: Just thinking something through.

Lily: Oh, what are you thinking about?

Billy: [ Sighs ] Not ready to share that quite yet.

Lily: Okay. How did things go with jill?

Billy: We’re not seeing eye-to-eye, and that’s okay. I’ll come up with my own solution that doesn’t involve a hand-out from chancellor industries.

Lily: So you turned down the job offer.

Billy: Yeah. Hey, don’t worry. When I get knocked down, I get up. You can count on that. And so can adam.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Beginning is missing due to news interruption; we’ll have it up soon.

[Ambient music]

Philip: You share every intimate detail of your life with me, chloe?

Abe: Thank you.

Lani: You’re welcome.

Abe: You know, I was starting to think you were avoiding me.

Lani: I was. I didn’t know how to face you.

Abe: And why on earth would you have trouble facing me?

Lani: Because all of this is my fault.

Abe: You know, there is plenty of blame to go around, and none of it should land on you.

Lani: I’m the one who jumped to the conclusion that you were my father just because you dated tamara around the time I was conceived.

Abe: Well, that’s a reasonable conclusion.

Lani: Yeah, but it was the wrong one. And for the life of me, I cannot–I don’t know why my mother–why tamara let me believe a lie. I bet you wish I’d never come to salem looking for you.

Abe: You would lose that bet. Learning that you were my daughter is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Lani: [Sniffling]

[Sighs]

Brady: I don’t even believe what you’re telling me right now. Marlena got violent at the horton thanksgiving dinner?

John: How many times do I have to say this? It’s not doc. Satan is the one that’s making her do all those things.

Brady: Okay, but–

Paulina: Then– then it’s true? Dr. Marlena evans is possessed by the devil?

Ben: I promise you, nobody followed us. John is not gonna find you here. Sit down.

Marlena: Is everything all right?

Ciara: Actually no. Something here is very wrong.

[Sinister music]

As a professional bull-rider

Ben: What is it? Is it the baby?

Ciara: No. No, the baby’s fine. It’s just the way you’ve been acting–staring out the window, jumping at every sound.

Marlena: Well, I’m very, very concerned about what john could do to me if he found me. Is that what’s upsetting to you?

Ciara: Yeah, I guess that’s it. It’s just I’m having a very hard time believing that the john black that I saw is the same man that I’ve known since I was a child. I can’t believe that he’s some kind of monster. Even though I saw the way john acted and it terrified me, I can’t reconcile that with the wonderful man I’ve known my entire life. It’s like it was someone else who came to the apartment, not john black.

Marlena as john: Bitch.

[Sinister music]

Marlena: I understand. I mean, it must be very confusing, especially if you haven’t seen john behave that way before. But trust me. You both have to trust me. My husband is a very, very dangerous man.

Maggie: Need I remind you that you’re the reason that brady is even in chloe’s orbit again? Have you forgotten that you’re the one who asked your grandson to get close to her?

Victor: I just wanted to get her claws out of philip. I certainly didn’t expect brady was gonna fall for that caterwauling streetwalker again.

Maggie: And what is it I say when–when you try to meddle in other people’s lives?

Victor: Don’T.

Maggie: Precisely. And when you chose not to take my advice– now your son and your grandson are enamored yet again with a woman you can’t stand.

Chloe: I don’t know what you mean about “every intimate detail,” but I am open with you about most things.

Philip: Most things.

Chloe: Yeah, like the most important things, the things that are the deepest part of my soul. I wanna share them with you, but you know what? You don’t let me in. You don’t make it easy, and that has to change if this relationship is gonna work.

Philip: You’re telling me that I haven’t been treating my girlfriend very well.

Chloe: Well, I am glad that your ears work.

Philip: I’m sorry about this funk that I’ve been in. I’ve just–I’ve had so much on my mind.

Chloe: I know, but let’s get you out of this stuffy room, and I don’t know, get you some fresh air.

Philip: I’m sorry. I’m just–I’m not in the mood.

Chloe: Okay, so you’re not in the mood for the great outdoors, but how about I drag you down into the kitchen and make you some real food? Because sitting around here and moping and eating junk is not gonna be good for your mood.

Philip: I don’t want to go downstairs. I don’t want to run into victor or maggie.

Chloe: Okay, so you don’t wanna go anywhere, you don’t wanna go to a restaurant. Then, how about I go to a restaurant, pick up some takeout, and we can come back here and do some of that share, share, sharing that you agreed to do?

Philip: That sounds like a great idea.

Chloe: Okay.

Philip: And by the time you get back, I and this place will be very clean.

Chloe: Oh, I like that.

Philip: You sure you wanna do that before I’ve showered?

Chloe: Yeah, I’m sure.

Philip: I have the best girlfriend ever. You always take such good care of me.

Chloe: You better believe it.

[Door shuts]

[Tense music]

Philip: You couldn’t wait to get out of here, could you? You and your false concern. So go ahead, chloe. Go have sex with brady and be the whore my father always said you were.

[Phone buzzing]

Lani: She’s been calling me constantly since the wedding. The almost-wedding.

[Button beeps] Big mama probably told her everything that happened.

Abe: And in better detail, I’m sure.

Lani: I just keep sending her to voicemail. I can’t talk to her. I mean, what is there even to say?

Abe: You know I–I talked to your mother. Um, to tamara. She never meant to deceive you. She was just trying to help paulina out of a bad situation.

Lani: [Sighs] I don’t get how you can be so understanding. She didn’t just deceive me for my entire life. She turned your life upside-down, and you didn’t deserve any of this.

Abe: Neither did you. And I am upset with her too.

Lani: [Scoffs] Well, I am more than just upset. Tamara and paulina, they– they let me fall in love with this family– with you, with theo– and they knew all along that I didn’t share one drop of your blood.

Abe: Lani, lani.

Lani: No, if she– if she would have been– if she would have told me the truth when I asked if you were my father, none of this would have happened. Instead, the woman that I thought was my mother, she let me move to salem and form these connections that aren’t even real.

Abe: Who says our bonds aren’t real?

Lani: [Sobbing] Are you one of the millions of americans

Victor: Is it too much to ask that the men in my family come home with suitable mates?

Maggie: And why are you the arbiter of who is a suitable mate? Not to mention the kiriakis men aren’t exactly a walk in the park to deal with.

Victor: [Chuckles] Perhaps not. I happen to have found the– the last good woman in salem who, for some reason, saw fit to put up with the likes of this kiriakis man.

Maggie: Up to a point. I am still quite cross with you, though, victor, for meddling yet again in your kids’ love lives.

Victor: Oh, come on. Give me a break, would you? I mean, when both philip and brady are enamored with chloe lane.

Maggie: It’s none of your business, victor.

Victor: So has brady got it bad for that stupid woman?

Maggie: None of your business.

Victor: I’ll take that as a yes. But he understands that there’s no chance for a future with her, doesn’t he? Doesn’t he?

Maggie: [Sighs] Actually, I do not think he understands that. In fact, brady told me that he thought that he and chloe– they could be happy together, if only philip weren’t in the in the way.

Ciara: The man that john black has apparently become, he’s not only a danger to you, but he is a danger to everyone else around him.

Marlena: You see that now?

Ciara: Yes, yes. And that’s why I think the best thing that we can do is to call the police and let them know what’s going on–

Marlena: No, no! No. We’ve talked about this already. Come on. I’ve told you this before. John was a cop. You know, he was on the force, and you know how they all stick together. They cover for each other. All that will happen is that john will get some– a slap on the wrist, and then he’ll be even angrier when he comes after me.

Ciara: I see why you think that, but there is no way that shawn would let anything bad happen to his mother-in-law.

Marlena: And you see that I can’t take that risk.

Ciara: I’m sorry, dr. Evans, but I can. I trust that shawn is going to make the right decision.

Marlena: No! No, no. You can’t do that.

[Unsettling music]

[Monitor beeping]

John: You’re saying you actually called the devil a bitch?

Paulina: [Chuckles] Right to her– well, its face. And the devil called me one right back. It got pretty ugly, that’s for sure.

John: Paulina, you are a lucky woman. I’m glad marlena didn’t really hurt you.

Paulina: Mm, I wouldn’t say that. Now, your wife, she may not have left a visible scar, but she sure–she took a wrecking ball to my life.

Abe: Please, sit down. Let me–let me tell you a story.

Lani: Mm, I am too old for fairytales.

Abe: Just humor me, please.

Lani: Okay. Let’s hear the story.

Abe: So… once upon a time, I had a–a best friend, my partner, roman brady, who died suddenly working on a case to bring down stefano dimera.

Lani: What? I–I don’t understand. Are you–you–you’re saying that roman died?

Abe: We were all devastated when we lost him. And a few years later, an amnesiac showed up in town named john black. Well, to make a very long story very short, all of us who loved roman were eventually led to believe that he and john black were one and the same.

Lani: Oh, my lord, wh–

Abe: I had my partner back. My brother and my best friend. Well, about half a decade passed and we found out that john black wasn’t roman after all, that he had been held captive by stefano dimera all those years.

Lani: So when roman came back–

Abe: We were–we were shocked and–and delighted by roman’s return, but that–that didn’t lessen our–didn’t lessen our love and commitment to john black. The heart doesn’t work that way.

Lani: Oh, at least yours doesn’T.

Abe: Dna didn’t matter. Only the love did. And as far as I’m concerned, you are now and you always will be my daughter.

Lani: [Sighs deeply]

[Chuckles] Come here. The airport can be a real challenge for new homeowners

Marlena: I’m sorry for grabbing your phone. I’m–I’m just so on edge.

Ben: Oh, I’m sure you are. You’ve been living in fear for months.

Ciara: And wouldn’t it be better to end it all now instead of running away for the rest of your life?

Ben: Well, that’s not our choice to make, ciara. It’s hers. Don’t worry. We’re not gonna call anybody.

Marlena: Thank you. Thank you for your understanding and your compassion.

Ben: Besides, it’s–cell service is terrible out here.

[Laughter]

Marlena: So we all agree that nobody is making any phone calls, hmm?

Ciara: You know, maybe the isolation is really wonderful when we were here reconnecting, but I don’t really think it’s a great idea now. I mean, what if something happens to the baby? I am pregnant, after all.

Marlena: You know what? Everything is going to be fine. Just fine. And if anything unexpected happens, I’m a doctor. I can take care of you. So everything is gonna be perfect, with you and your precious baby. I’ll see to it.

John: Paulina, you have to know that–that marlena would–would never reveal anything you told her if she was in her right mind. I mean, she views breaking patient-doctor confidentiality a cardinal sin.

Paulina: Hmm, so to speak. But this–this devil situation is beyond incredible. But I do believe you, john.

John: Thank you, because if I hadn’t lived through this before, I wouldn’t believe it myself.

Paulina: Well, it sounds like I should have done more research before I moved to salem. And I wish I really could have known what marlena was dealing with before I gave the devil ammunition to just blow my family to smithereens, especially my relationship with abe. I don’t know. You know, I don’t think– I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me for what I did.

John: Well, I don’t know about that. I’ve known abraham for a very long time. He’s one of the most forgiving men I have ever met.

Lani: [Sighs] Are you sure that you feel this way?

Abe: Of course, I’m sure. You know you’re my daughter in every way that counts. And as for my grandchildren, don’t you even think about keeping them away from me because come hell, high water, fire, flood, or storm, they are mine,

[Laughter] Just like you’re mine. Biology be damned. You know, I–I just can’t excuse what paulina, tamara, and olivia did. I mean, I’m trying to– trying to manage my anger at being deceived for so long, but I–I can understand the choice they made.

Lani: I can too, but up to a point.

[Sighs] I do empathize with what aunt– with what paulina went through, I really do, but I can’t forgive her. I mean, she lied to us all. She hurt us too much.

Victor: Are you trying to get me to take another blood pressure pill, maggie? Brady imagining a future with chloe lane of all people?

Maggie: The possibility of a future. But he knows that as long as she’s with philip, that possibility is remote.

Victor: You don’t think he’d do anything to hurt philip, do you?

Maggie: Well, of course not. Brady would never hurt philip or anyone else. I mean, he–he was just letting off steam.

Victor: Well, let’s–let’s hope that’s all he was doing.

Maggie: Oh, you mean instead of drinking his emotions away?

Victor: No, I mean something far worse. You and I both know, maggie, even a good man can be driven by jealousy to the darkest of places.

[Laughter]

Brady: Out of all the irish pubs in the world, she had to walk out of mine. My nunormal?

Brady: My apologies for the “casablanca” misquote.

Chloe: Ah, all is forgiven.

Brady: Yeah. I thought you’d be at the hospital with your dad.

Brady: Well, he sent me for takeout.

Chloe: Oh, well, great minds.

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: How’s he holding up?

Brady: As good as can be expected, chloe. I mean, considering that his wife is running around with some kind of a demon inside of her.

Chloe: [Sighs] Yeah, okay. Well, give him my love, all right?

Brady: Of course, of course.

Chloe: Yeah, I should get going. Philip is expecting me, so. Bye, brady.

Brady: Bye. Chloe, we’ll always have the brady pub.

[Phone ringing]

[Exhales] How’s my tater tot doing? Hi, buddy. Wh–what? You’re kidding me. You won the championship game? Are you–are you serious? Oh, I’m not surprised given what a great player you are. Hey, do me a favor. Have your mother send me a video, okay?

[Monitor beeping]

John: I don’t know how much you know about abe’s late wife, lexie.

Paulina: Only what abe told me. You know, she was the love of his life, theo’s mother, a doctor, and a cop. Pillar of the community. Talk about a hard act to follow.

John: Yeah, yeah, that’s all true, that’s all true. It’s only part of the story, though, because, well, she was far from perfect.

Paulina: Go on.

John: I don’t wanna speak out of turn.

Paulina: No, it’s your turn.

John: When lexie found out that stefano dimera was her father, she– well, she wrestled with some demons of her own.

Paulina: Don’t tell me lexie was possessed too?

John: No, no, no, no, only figuratively speaking.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, god, that’s a relief. Oh, you can’t–you can’t blame a sister for wanting some clarification in this town.

John: [Laughs] No blame, no blame. What I’m saying is, there were times when she yielded to her father’s influence and kind of bent to the dark side.

Paulina: Hmm, so her halo had a few dings in it?

John: What I’m trying to say is, with lexie, abe was able to forgive what most men would have considered unforgivable.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, and here, I was thinking that she fed the multitudes and turned tap water into champagne.

John: [Chuckles] Well, if abe was able to forgive lexie, I seriously wouldn’t rule out the possibility that he could find it in his heart to forgive you too.

Abe: You know, whether you can find it in your heart to forgive paulina and tamara, that’s between you and god.

Lani: And what about you? Are you going to forgive paulina?

Abe: That’s between her and me.

Lani: And what about god?

Abe: I’m sure he’ll be involved.

[Laughter] Are you feeling better now?

Lani: I am, thanks to you.

Abe: Aw. You know, I am– I’m feeling better. Thanks to you, much. So if you don’t mind, I have to–I have to go see an old friend. Aw. You–you take care, my daughter.

Lani: [Chuckles] I will.

[Sighs] Take care, my dad.

[Laughter]

Abe: I love you.

Lani: I love you too, very much.

[Chuckles]

[Sentimental music]

Marlena: If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to collect myself.

Ben: Of course, yeah. Uh… baby, what is it? You’re very tense.

Ciara: I don’t like this at all, ben.

Ben: None of us like it, ciara. I mean, we don’t have many other options.

Ciara: Okay, well, we have to at least call belle and tell her what’s going on. I mean, marlena and john are her parents. You can’t tell me that there’s nothing belle wouldn’t do to help her mom. Plus, shawn would never forgive me for keeping this from him. He would never forgive me.

Ben: And you may be right, but we’re not fighting dr. Evans on this.

Ciara: I know, but something just feels off here, ben, okay? Way off.

[Knocking on door] It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

[Knocking on door]

Ciara: Ben, what do we do?

Ben: Only thing we can do.

Marlena: No, stop!

Ben: There’s no way it’s going to be john.

Marlena: You don’t that. You don’t know who it is. Oh, I’m begging you, please don’t open that door.

[Elevator dings]

[Dramatic music]

[Phone ringing]

Lani: [Inhales deeply] Hi, mom.

Maggie: Oh, chloe.

Chloe: Oh, hi, maggie.

Maggie: Hi, darling. I didn’t know you were stopping by.

Chloe: Actually, it’s my second time here today. Philip asked me to get some takeout.

Maggie: Oh, that’s nice. A romantic little dinner for two.

Chloe: Uh, yeah, it would be, except he’s not in his room and I haven’t seen him. Do you–do you know where he is?

Maggie: Um…

Brady: No, buddy, I wish I could have been there to see you score that winning goal. But you know I’m proud of you, right? Good, good. Listen, hey, let’s video chat over the weekend. Is that good? All right. I love you too, buddy.

Ridge: Hey, I’m not attacking you, and I’m not accusing you of anything. I’m– I love you so much.

Brooke: I love you.

Ridge: The way you look at that man. And you let– let him do whatever he wants, it’s just–

Brooke: That man has a name.

Ridge: See that? What is that, what is that?

Brooke: Oh, come on.

Ridge: I know his name, deacon! Deacon sharp! And he’s trying to get back into your life and he’s using your daughter’s emotions to do it. So I’m asking you, just tell me that you don’t have feelings for him, that there’s no way in hell you could ever have feelings for this guy.

Sheila: Oh, let me guess: You’re here to make another run on the minibar.

Deacon: Lay off me, sheila.

Sheila: My, my, my, awfully grumpy. What’s wrong?

Deacon: Well, let’s see. I can’t find a job. Can’t find a place of my own, strapped for cash but hey, other than that, I’m crushing it.

Sheila: If you’re looking for me to feel sorry for you, deacon, I don’T. At least hope has let you into her life. I, on the other hand, I can’t go anywhere near finn thanks to steffy.

Finn: You like me stopping by like this? Spending some extra time with my gorgeous wife before heading to the hospital.

Steffy: Not only do I like it, I highly encourage it. So how are things going with your mom? Have your mom and dad talked since?

Finn: It’s about how you would expect after learning the truth. Dad’s still reaching out nonstop, hoping that she will find a way to get past what he did. We both will. Become a family again.

Steffy: Well, maybe it’s possible.

Finn: Honestly, I’m still struggling with the fact that he’s my biological father, a man… who’s lied to me my entire life, who I believed would never lie to me. And can I ever really trust someone like that again?

Carter: Thanks, man.

Paris: So, mr. Coo, you never mentioned your original lunch date. She anyone that I would know?

Carter: Curious much, are we?

Paris: Sorry, it’s just when I walked in on you and katie at the office… I should probably mind my own business.

[Chuckles]

Carter: It’s all good. No harm done. Though, I’d rather focus on you.

Paris: On my checking account. Yeah, helping me balance it.

Carter: Mm-hm.

Paris: Right.

[Patio din]

Carter: Katie.

Paris: What?

Carter: You asked me who my original lunch date was. It was katie.

Paris: Oh, okay.

Carter: Come on, you already figured it out.

Paris: Well, I mean, I couldn’t help but notice how you two were acting together earlier.

Carter: Maybe something could be brewing between you two.

Carter: Hm. “Could be,” being the operative phrase.

Paris: What do you mean?

Carter: Don’t get me wrong. Katie’s great and I’ve enjoyed the time we spent together lately. But… she’s bill spencer’s ex. Mother of his child and that’s why she had to cancel. She had to jump on a video call with bill and their son who’s away at boarding school and it it’s made me realize… I keep picking women who aren’t truly available. Why do I keep doing that?

Steffy: That’s a question only you can answer, finn. But when you do lose trust in someone, it’S… really hard to get it back.

Finn: Especially when it’s someone you’ve idolized your whole life.

Steffy: Maybe if you talk to jack…

Finn: No, I’m– I’m not ready yet. Besides, if he’s just going to say again that he never meant to hurt my mom and me, that he’s sorry about everything– I understand he’s sorry, but if he just–

Steffy: I, I get it. Doesn’t change what happened. All the lies and deception. Your father had an affair with sheila.

[Sighs]

Sheila: You know, if miss high and mighty, steffy, would just stay out of this. You know, better yet, if she would actually encourage a relationship between finn and his biological mother. But no, no, no, no, no. God, no. We’ve gotta hold on to old grudges that people can–

Deacon: Stop. Stop. I don’t want to be dragged into your business. All right? I’m having enough trouble with ridge. He’s always going off to brooke about how I’ll never change. What the hell am I going to have to do to get through to this guy? I mean, does he really think I’ve got some kind of strange hold on hope and brooke?

Ridge: I need to know.

Brooke: Know what? That I don’t have feelings for deacon? I mean, I already told you that I don’T. Or do you just not believe me?

Ridge: I believe that deacon has an agenda and he’s gonna do everything in his power to pull it off. He’s already gotten to hope, he’s already… father of the year so she’s in his corner and now he’s kind of working you. Trying to get your forgiveness, your acceptance and, you can see that he’s A… new and better man. You know what scares me? It’s working. I can see it’s working. And I know what’s coming next. Pain and heartache. And I don’t want that for any of us. Sweet pillows of softness!

Paris: I mean, I get why you said proceed with caution. Yes, katie has been married but not to anyone. Bill spencer. And their family with their son is… complicated.

Carter: But… I still have to ask myself, “why do I keep putting myself in these situations?” I guess I’m just not good at relationships. I bet you’re glad you agreed to have lunch with me.

[Chuckling]

Paris: Actually, I am.

Finn: Mom told me that sheila was the one who pushed jack to finally open up. That sheila felt I should know he was my biological father.

Steffy: Okay, but if sheila felt so strongly about it. Why didn’t she tell you herself? Like, why didn’t she do it right when she got into town, or when you asked her point blank at the restaurant that day?

Finn: I’m sure she thought it should come from jack. But to know that… she was putting pressure on him. And she was advocating for what she felt was best for me.

Deacon: Sheila, I’m sorry. All right? I just– I don’t need this right now. You know, on a positive note: Hope has welcomed me into her home. Brooke’s not giving me the cold shoulder anymore. So, uh… that’s progress. I mean, I know I still need to find a nine to five and a place on my own, but… I guess all things considered–

Sheila: Oh my, my, my. How quickly things change. Just a few minutes ago, you’re so down on yourself.

Deacon: Yeah, well, you know, maybe I realized that I don’t need to be, right? When it comes to the important things, you know, especially my daughter, hope and I finally have a shot at building the kind of relationship that I could never give her when she was growing up.

Sheila: And you don’t think that I want that for me and finn? Because that is all I think about. How do I make that happen with that rottweiler wife of his… letting me see my son.

Deacon: As I live and breathe, sheila carter… admitting defeat.

Sheila: No! I’m not. It’s just frustrating. Steffy is trying to run me out of town.

Deacon: Yeah, just like her old man is trying to do to me.

Ridge: Deacon is the reason why you and bridget had a really tough time for a very long time.

Brooke: Ridge. I know what I did hurt bridget terribly. And I have to live with that. For the rest of my life. But what I don’t understand is why you keep bringing this up. Are you– are you really trying to hurt me? Hurt you? No. No. I would never wanna hurt you but I can’t stand on the sideline while this guy’s doing what he’s doing. He causes pain to everything he touches. And I don’t want him to hurt you, or hope, ever again.

When you have nausea,

Carter: It’s like every woman I’ve been involved with, it never ends well, including your sister. You know, zoe was so hurt by what I’d done, she– she left town and never came back.

Paris: Carter, you can’t put all that on yourself, zoe messed up too.

Carter: Yeah, but… what I’m saying is that I’m at a point where I have to look in the mirror, take a very long look and realize the common denominator in all these failed relationships is me.

Paris: Meaning you don’t have what it takes to make a relationship work? Because I’m not buying that. Carter, you have the greatest respect and admiration for women. And you are one of the most considerate people I know. And you’re not too hard to look at, either. Seriously, carter. Someday soon, you’re gonna fall madly in love and she’s gonna fall madly in love back. And you’re just gonna keep falling in love back and forth. And then you’ll realize you weren’t the lousy one in the relationship. You just hadn’t found the right woman to build a life with until then.

Sheila: Enough of this. It’s time we take action.

Deacon: No, no, no, no, no, no. I told hope and brooke that I was cutting ties with you. I intend on keeping true to my word. We’re not joining forces.

Sheila: Just relax. All I meant is we need to come up with something that’s going to throw steffy and ridge off-kilter. And I’ve already got an idea brewing.

Steffy: You’re giving sheila more credit than she deserves. She had many chances to tell you about jack, but she didn’T.

Finn: She could have insisted that he never tell me but she felt I deserved to finally know the truth.

Steffy: The truth and sheila carter aren’t exactly synonymous. She has a long history of… deception and deceit. She only does things that benefit her.

Finn: I know, ‘kay? I’m not defending her. But I am pointing out that maybe this one time she’S… anyhow, look, it doesn’t matter how it happened, okay? Just right now I’m trying to–

Steffy: I– I get it. You’re trying to… you’re trying to manage a really difficult time in your life. You’re working through these feelings about jack and you don’t know where your relationship goes from here but sheila is gonna try to fill that void. She’s gonna… to turn up. She’s gonna try to be there for you and tell you that she’s the only one who understands what you’re going through. You can’t let that happen, okay? You can’t let her take advantage of the situation.

Brooke: You have no idea what it was like. The heartbreak that I lived all those years ago… the enormous shame. I mean, you and I weren’t even together then, ridge. You were with taylor, so… for the love of god, let’s stop dredging all this up, okay? That’s not what I’m doing. I’m trying to remind you who deacon is, what he’s capable of. And I’m telling you that I will protect this family. Whatever it takes.

[Phone pings]

Brooke: You need to take care of that?

Ridge: No, it can wait.

Brooke: No, I– I think you should, you should probably go deal with that.

Ridge: Okay. Hey. I love you so much. Never forget that.

Deacon: When it comes down to it, there’s really only three questions worth asking, brooke: What’s worth living for, what’s worth dying for and what’s worth fighting for. And it’s just the same to all of the: Love.

Brooke: And not just anybody.

Deacon: No, no, someone who appreciates you. Someone who desires you as much as you desire him.

Deacon: I waited until ridge left.

Brooke: Deacon, what are you doing here? Clerk: Hello, how can I?

[Knock on door]

Finn: You can leave those there, marcia. I’ll… review them after I wrap up these notes.

Sheila: It’s– it’s not marcia. It’s your mom.

Finn: Sheila? What– what are you doing here? You can’t be here.

Sheila: I know, I just– I wanted to check on you. I mean, especially after you finding out about jack being your biological father and how we… we were once involved. I was worried about you, sweetheart. I just– I wanted to make sure you’re okay. You really shouldn’t be here, deacon. I don’t want another scene like the last one between you and ridge.

Deacon: Hey, me either. All right? That’s why I waited until he was gone. I just came here because I wanted to talk to you alone.

Brooke: I’m not sure that’s such a good idea.

Deacon: Just hear me out, okay? I just want to thank you for not standing in my way the way ridge is trying to do. For allowing me to have a father-daughter relationship with hope. A future even. I– it’s beyond huge.

Brooke: Well, hope is a grown woman and she’s able to make her own decisions.

Deacon: I know, I know. You’re very important to her. If you had come down hard, if you had… demanded that she stay away from me, things between me and hope, they’d be very different right now.

Brooke: If I came down hard on her, she would have taken the kids and liam and moved off the property and I didn’t want that. So I’m trying to be very supportive of hope.

Deacon: Well, in being supportive of hope, you’re supporting me. I mean, it’s crazy. It’s like– it’s like everything that I dreamt of when I was locked up in prison… it’s– it’s starting to come true. Coming here, being able to see our daughter, hearing all the amazing things she says about me. And I’d be lying if I said that part of that dream wasn’t seeing you, too. I know that my being here, it complicates things for you and I hate that. I do. And I also know seeing me, well, it brings up some difficult memories. Brooke, come on. There were some amazing memories, too, for both of us. You know that. Otherwise, we never would’ve been able to make this incredible, remarkable woman. Don’t you remember? The attraction was– it was nuts. It was like this– this chemical thing that you and I tried to fight as long as we could until we couldn’t anymore. I– I hate that we hurt bridget and I know you do too. But, my god, the passion, the connection that we had. I haven’t forgotten one moment of that. Tell me it’s the same for you. Tell me you haven’t forgotten it either.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Part of this is missing due to news interruption; we’ll have it up soon.

what did scout do when she saw him? Drew’s alive after all this time. I know. It was… incredible to see him. What did scout do when she saw him? She didn’t recognize him. It was a lot for her to take in, but she’ll come around. Yeah, I’m sure she will. Jason is the one who saved drew. Well, britt westbourne and her mother as well. Say what you will about jason, and I have, he is reliable in a crisis. While jason was able to save drew… he wasn’t able to save himself. Mom, jason’s dead. Hey, there you are. What took you so long? Well, uh — never mind. Hey. You will never believe who showed up on thanksgiving. Drew. Well, so if you know that, then you obviously also know… about jason. Yeah. How’s monica doing? Oh, she’s coping. I mean, luckily, she has us all here to — to help her through. I just can’t believe that jason is gone. Yeah, his death touches a lot of lives. For a guy who kept all his feelings locked in a vault, you know, a lot of people are crying their eyes out today. How did you hear about this? I mean, your text was kind of cryptic. Where did you and rocco wind up? Uh, we spent the day with sam and her kids. Valentin was worried that peterwould use bailey to hurt him. That’s what yuri was for. And now that valentin’s out of the picture, bailey is off peter’s radar. Bailey is much safer with chase pretending to be her father. Really? Because, as I recall, peter poisoned chase and tried to kill him. That was an accident. Peter was targeting chase’s brother to get back at anna. Do you not get it? Peter doesn’t care who he hurts or who he kills. Maxie, you’re making emotional arguments out of fear. You’re damn right I am. I made the mistake of thinking peter was a rational human being. Now I know better. I will not underestimate him. And neither should you. Bailey isn’t yours? How’s that possible? Usual way. I was, uh, lied to, used, so brook lynn could take back the shares of elq that she’d signed over to me. Oh, I see. So do we know who the real father is? Yeah. Harrison chase, apparently. Brook lynn was living with him, wasn’t she, when… so I guess they… yeah, apparently. On the plus side, I’ve already reacquired the shares that brook lynn stole from me, and, uh, chase may have offered me an opportunity to exact revenge. All right, I’ll bite. How? I may have said some cruel and cutting things to brook lynn, and he may have hit me. And now he’s suspended from the force. So is that the end of the warpath for you? No, I’m just getting started. And when are you planning on dealing with what really is at the heart of all this? What’s that? Being lied to? Deceived, humiliated? The emotional trauma of losing a child. If

it were up to me, I’d saylet’s get you in a wheelchair and over to the nicu. Okay, great. Let’s do it. Unfortunately, it’s not up to me. Dr. Navarro has to sign off on it, and until she’s out of surgery… can’t I just go anyway? I’m afraid you’ll have to stay put. But I promise, I will keep you posted. Dr. Navarro could be in surgery for hours. Don’t worry about a thing. I am going to take you to see our son. Want to help? Donna’s all settled. Such a blessing, that one. So beautiful. Yeah. Yeah, we think so. Look, I, um — I can’t imagine how hard this is for you. Jason was so important to so many people, especially you two, and I know that I am just a reminder of — of that profound loss. Please don’t say that. You’re alive. And that is a great comfort. Don’t think that we’ve forgotten everything you’ve done for us. We’re relieved that you survived. The only reason I’m alive is because of jason. I’m so, so sorry, honey. I know jason and I were apart for almost a year, but — I know how much you loved him. I loved him a lot. And he was danny’s father. So… poor danny. Last night must have been hell for you, and I hate the thought that you had to get news like that while you were all alone. I wasn’t alone. Dante was with me.

best I can, but in the meantime, brook lynn and chase will get what’s coming to them. Oh, stop it, for god’s sake. That’s the man you used to be. No, that’s who I am. You and I both know it. And no amount of wishing on my better angels is gonna change that. Unh-unh, no. I-I have — I know the bookends of who you are, the man that you were and the father that you are to charlotte and to bailey. I’m not bailey’s father. Well, y-you — you were until you weren’T. And I saw you with that little baby. And your heart was so full. And that love or, look, the right to that love has been taken away. And I am very sorry for that. Brook lynn fooled me for the sake of the company to get her hands on some shares. I moved into the quartermaine house to be a proper father so that I could be there day to day. But she was not mine. And if I have to hurt over and over again by everything that I’m gonna miss about that little girl, then brook lynn is going to hurt, too. That’s fair. Isn’t it? Hey. Once peter hears that valentin isn’t bailey’s father, all it’s gonna take is a few little steps for him to figure out that bailey is his. Everything that led chase to the truth is going to lead peter right here. I’m a trained detective, maxie. It’s my job. And peter is a psychopath who is obsessed with finding this one little girl. You think he’s not gonna figure this out? She is not safe with you acting as her father. Okay, then. You got a better idea? So you spent the whole day with sam and her kids? Yeah. Mm. Well, how was that? It was great. Our kids get along awesome. Well, they certainly ought to. They spend enough time together here. Yeah. We were gonna come here after we watched the parade. Yeah. Then drew showed up. Yeah. Broke the news about jason. And, uh, you know, figured sam needed someone to be there for her. Of course she did. So of course you stayed and you comforted her and you helped her sort through her feelings, right? Yeah. Yeah, something like that. Aww. That is the man that I raised. Mm-hmm. What? Well, it sounds like things must be getting pretty serious between you and sam. I know that you and drew hadn’t been together for a while before his disappearance, and I know that you loved him, I know you loved jason, and I can’t even imagine how confusing this is for you. You see, now, that’s the strangest part, because it’s not confusing at all. I mean, if anything, it actually clarifies things. I am thrilled that drew is alive. I’m devastated that jason is dead. But I also realize that I am ready to move on. Well, if you’re okay, then I’m okay. I just want you to be happy. I am happy. Now, what about you? Peter knew how to activate the conditioning, and so he, um… he wanted to put on a demonstration for jason, for britt. He had me — had me hold a knife to jason’s throat. He had me cut open my own arm. Gosh. Sick bastard. I mean, I d– I don’t remember any of it, right? But jason was paying attention, and — and he took full advantage. He saw how peter put me under and then he saw how he brought me back out. He was — he was just so convinced that the two of us could take peter down. But I just wasn’t so sure, and I told him if things went sideways that I wanted him to stop me no matter what. You mean you — to kill me. If it came to that. But instead, jason was the one who lost his life.

[ Beeping ] What the… coast is clear. Let’s move. Ms. Reeves? Why are you pushing the call button if you’re not a patient and this room is not in use? Wonderful question. See, I have a great idea, amy, and I really needed to talk to you about it. But first I had to conduct a little experiment. Which was? Which is I wanted to see how quick your response time was. Mine personally? Yes. I want to do an article about the responsiveness of nurses. You know, how long it takes for someone to get a response when they use one of these. And, amy, I’m being completely serious. You were amazing. Oh! Thanks. Well, I should get back to the nurses’ station. No, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Amy, no, you can’t go yet. No sign of amy or anyone else who might want to stop us. I think we’re gonna make it.

[ Gasps ] Wait just a minute. Advanced non-small cell lung cancer can change everything. But your first treatment could be a chemo-free combination of two immunotherapies that works differently. It could mean a chance to live longer. Opdivo plus yervoy is for adult s newly diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread, tests positive for pd-l1, and does not have an abnormal egfr or alk gene. It’s the only fda-approved combination of two immunotherapies. Opdivo plus yervoy equals… a chance for more time together. More family time. More quiet time. Opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to harm healthy parts of your body during and after treatment. These problems can be severe and lead to death. See your doctor right away if you have a cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; irregular heartbeat; diarrhea; constipation; severe stomach pain, nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; eye problems; extreme tiredness; changes in appetite, thirst or urine; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; or fever. These are not all the possible side effects. Problems can occur together and more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. Tell your doctor about all medical conditions including immune or nervous system problems, if you’ve had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, or received chest radiation. Here’s to a chance to live longer. Ask your doctor about chemo-free opdivo plus yervoy. Thank you to all those in our clinical trials. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs. That’s why instacart helps deliver the ingredients. And you add the love. You’re the face of deception who became the face of conception. Can I get a selfie? Uh, just one real quick. Okay, here we go.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, that’s enough. Thank you. How about an autograph? Ms. Gilmore needs to see her baby now. Oh, baby deception. Can I come? Absolutely not. I want to do a feature on you in crimson. You are such a great nurse, and we want to do a photo shoot with you. With me? You mean it? Absolutely! So I’d be like, what, a model? Be like a model nurse.

[ Both laugh ] Right?! So why don’t you just — just sit down here and we can talk about what the spread might look like. Okay. Let’s do this. Let’s see our baby. Um… I just need to prepare you first. Prepare me for what? Um, our baby is hooked up to a lot of equipment. He’s wrapped in a cooling blanket to give his brain a chance to heal. Lack of oxygen. But he is peaceful. Sasha, he is so sweet. Okay. Thank you. I’m ready. Jason knew the risk, and he chose to save you. With a man of his reputation, you know, a-a reputation that he’s earned, he — he — he valued the lives of other people that he cared about more than his own. If it wasn’t for him, I’d still be peter’s puppet. But you’re not, right? Not anymore. I mean, I don’t know. He wanted me to kidnap maxie for him. Maybe he could still flip a switch. What if maxie is in danger because of me? Okay, if we tell valentin that bailey is really louise and we were only doing this to keep her safe from peter, no matter how mad he is, he might just keep yuri and the rest of his security team here. W-well, if security is what you’re worried about, maxie, we’ll just hire guards, okay? And how will we explain that? At least valentin has the excuse that he’s on peter’s bad side. If we bring guards here, I mean, we might as well send peter an engraved invitation. Look, I’m sorry. There’s just no way to change this. Valentin’s already taken back his elq shares. He got chase suspended from the pcpd. What? How? Last night, he wasn’t very nice to brook lynn, so I punched him in the face.

[ Clears throat ] That’s great. So now you don’t have a service revolver or a shield or anything useful to keep my daughter safe? Have you told charlotte? No, I haven’t had to. She’s staying with friends out of town for thanksgiving break. Well, when she comes back and she sees that you’re at the metro court and there’s no bailey, she’ll figure it out. She’s a smart kid. You’re gonna have to tell her. I don’t know how I’m gonna do that. I don’t know how I’m gonna say goodbye to bailey. Because once I say those words, it’s all gonna become irrevocably, undeniably, and unbearably real.

[ Monitors beeping, respirator hissing ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god, brando. He’s so beautiful. Of course he is. He looks just like you.

[ Chuckles ] No, no. He — he has that little crinkle thing with this forehead. That’s you, brando. That’s you. Hi, baby boy. Hi, sweetheart. Did daddy tell you how much I love you? I did, all the time. I have loved you since the moment I knew you were on the way. And now you’re here. You’re real. You’re you. I love you so much. We need to give you a little name, buddy. A name that says exactly who you are.

He’s a fighter like you. I’m a soldier.

You are a fighter. He is strong, though, that’s for sure. We need to give him a name that tells the world who he is. We still want mike for his middle name, right? Yes, absolutely. Yes. It’s important to honor your cousin. Especially since he was so good to you when you were a boy. Okay, then what goes with mike? I was throwing around silly names when I was in labor. Since then, I’ve been a little unfocused.

[ Sighs ] What about you? Well, I may have looked up a few between here and your bedside last night. I did find one that I really like. ‘Cause it means “strong-willed warrior.” I’m out of prison. Happy. Freedom. Happy. Well, what’s better than freedom? The world is your oyster. You could do anything. What’s your passion, mom? Other than the law? Okay, well, then, like, legal system adjacent, then. I’ve been a lawyer. I’ve been a convict. What’s the happy medium? You’re looking at it. I don’t follow. Okay, how do I say this? Un, you are a meddler. You like to stick your nose into other people’s business, getting to the truth and doing something about it, which is what I do. And I get hired for criminal cases all the time. You want me to be a private investigator. Curtis opened a nightclub, so I am down a partner, and it would be a huge help to have someone that knows the ins and outs of the legal system. And who knows that better than you? You are just trying to cheer me up. You want to work with your mother? Yes, I do. Mom, come on. Work together for truth and — and justice. What do you say? I know peter. And now that he’s back in the country, back in port charles, he will find louise or die trying. Maxie, I will give up my life before I let peter anywhere near that little girl. Peter’s no match for us, maxie. And you either. You said it yourself. You’re not afraid of him anymore. So don’t be afraid. Be the fierce person I know that you are. Maybe what I need is to confront peter in person. Yes. He’ll be locked up, helpless, and you’ll see that he — he doesn’t have power over you or your daughter anymore. Okay. I just need a minute. Okay. You really are a good guy. Thanks. But I think a lot of what maxie said is true. I’m sorry, I didn’t, uh — I did not mean to go there. Hey. Who else can you go there with than your friends? And that hasn’t changed just because you’ve been gone. If you need anything, just say the word. I know that, sonny. Thank you. Right now, I, uh — I really just want to make sure I get to know my daughter again. How did scout react when she saw you? She’s a little shy. She just knows me from pictures, so… well, she’s a kid. You know they adapt pretty fast. That’s right. Speaking of kids, I got to say congratulations again, man. Donna is so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. How about your other girls? How — how’s josslyn? Uh [Chuckles] In college. Not possible. It is possible, as much as I hate to believe it. And what about avery? How’s she? Smart, sweet. Just beautiful. We’re so lucky to have our daughters, aren’t we? Absolutely. Truly. Well, I better get going. I just want to, uh… I just really want to say thank you to both of you for everything. Yeah. Please don’t be a stranger. Mm. I won’T. I won’T. Poor drew. I mean, what a burden. Surviving when jason didn’T. At least he has his family and his daughter. We have our kids, too. I mean, even though we’re grieving, we — we really need to count our blessings. Yeah, and take care of the people who love us. Which is why we need to get to the hospital. We need to support brando and sasha. Will I have to wear scrubs in the photo shoot? Well, you can wear scrubs showing what you’re like at — at work and then you can wear your street clothes just showing what you’re like when you’re not at work. But truly, amy, what’s important is showing you in the hospital because I truly believe that nurses are the heart to any hospital. I want to show the world how truly noble your profession is. Welcome to the world, liam. Liam mike. With a big, strong name like that, you will be out of here in no time. And we will take you home and we will give you the best life that any baby has ever had in the whole wide world.

It means a lot to me that you’re happy. I am happy, ma. Good. Anyway, I got to go to work. Yeah, me too. Especially since I doubt that carly’s gonna be coming in today. You’re gonna check on your dad, right? Yeah, I will. Okay. That’s my boy. Mm. See you. Okay. Hey, ma. I love you. I love you, too, honey. You don’t have to decide right now. You can think about it. I will do that. Good, because I think we would make a great team. Davis-mccall agency. Mccall-davis. Yeah, no, but, see, davis comes before mccall alphabetically. Yeah, but I’m already established in the field. Whatever. Okay. Um, if it’s a deal breaker, then I will think about it. Mom, this could be a great second act for you. If we partner up, I’m worried that you will get sick of me. I mean, yeah, we’re definitely gonna get sick of each other. We’ll butt heads and therefore probably fight a lot, but, I mean, that’s what it’s all about. It’s gonna be great. Great. Can we not do that? Okay, well, we can try. Just think — somebody might discover us and we could have our own reality show. Mother-daughter P.I. Agency. Good luck with that. Oh, excuse me. I just — I wanted to get a glass of…water. We’re in this thing now. We have to see it through. I don’t know. Maxie made some strong points. She did, but we are committed, which means we have to deal with it, especially now that valentin is furious with me, with us. There’s no telling what else valentin might do.

[ Doorbell rings ] Come in. Thank you for the assist. Oh, yeah. How’d you do it? Well, it was just some old-school flattery which turned into a really great idea for a feature. So, how’s the baby? Amazing. We named him. Liam. It means “strong-willed warrior.” Yeah, with a name like that, he’s got to pull through, right? Well, now that you guys are here, I’m just gonna go check in with my office, okay? And just when I thought you couldn’t be any more beautiful, I saw you with liam. And what can I say? I was wrong. Excuse me. Sorry to interrupt. I received word from your son’s doctor. Dr. Fleming’s on her way here now. There’s news about your baby.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Ridge: All I wanted to do was throw deacon out of the house. Right? Simple. Because I wanted to protect my family. And brooke had to defend him.

Steffy: I can’t believe brooke would even take his side after everything he’s done to her.

Liam: Well, that’s exactly how I feel about hope. This father that she wants in her life. It’s a fantasy because deacon hasn’t changed. But hope has convinced herself that he has.

Ridge: No, he’s convinced her, that’s what he does. He convinces people. Well, when she started writing him letters in prison…

Steffy: Mm, yeah, that plan was set. I think it’s a plan that includes my wife.

Hope: It really does mean so much that you trust me, mom. Honestly, it kind of seems like you’re the only one who does.

Brooke: Liam and ridge really want what’s best for you, honey. They’re just looking out for you.

Deacon: They love you, hope. And well, honestly, if the situation was reversed, I’d feel the same as ridge.

Hope: But he’s taken it too far. He came into my home and basically shoved you out the door. I mean, when does it stop?

Deacon: Apparently, when I leave.

Hope: Well, you’re not going to. And I don’t care if they don’t believe you. I do. And I know you must feel the same way, too, mom. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have stood up to ridge.

Carter: Katie, these ads are amazing. They’ll play wonderfully for international markets.

Katie: Thank you. I just wanted to highlight how special and unique our boutiques are.

Carter: Well, you did that and then some. I’d actually like to go over some ideas that I have for the winter line.

Carter: Of course. How about we discuss over lunch? Il giardino?

Katie: I think that sounds like a great idea.

Paris: Oh, I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Carter: You’re not interrupting. Paris, katie and I, we just wrapped up a marketing meeting.

[ Phone dinging ]

Katie: Oh.

Carter: What’s up?

Katie: Uh, bill texted me. He wants to talk.

Carter: Is everything okay?

Katie: I don’t know. I’m gonna get back to him. I’ll see you later, okay? You look so cute.

Paris: So do you. You all right?

Carter: Yeah. Yeah. Why do you ask?

Paris: I don’t know. You just seem a little, little weird.

Carter: Huh. It’s uh, it’s bill, just knowing what he’s put katie through.

Paris: You care about her, huh?

Carter: Yeah, she’s a friend. I mean, I’ve– I’ve known her for years.

Paris: Friend.

Carter: Yes. What are you implying?

Paris: Nothing, nothing at all.

Liam: I– honestly, I’m at a loss. I don’t–I don’t know how to get through to hope at this point.

Ridge: Well, we need to figure it out. There’s too much at stake.

Liam: Yeah, but I’ve– I’ve literally been begging her to listen to reason, just to think of the kids.

Steffy: Dad, you’ve spoken to hope. She’s completely unreasonable.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. And brooke is supporting her.

Steffy: Maybe this is what hope wants.

Liam: Uh, what?

Steffy: I don’t know, that hope’s creating this fantasy in her head. Like, after all these years, she’s trying to recreate them as this sweet, happy family.

Hope: I know it’s going to be difficult for you to support me in this. It just– it means the world that you do. I know. I’m trying honey. I am.

Hope: And that’s all I’m asking. That’s all I’m asking anyone to do, is just to try.

Brooke: Okay, well, it’s not that easy.

Deacon: I really do hate that I’m causing you problems with ridge and liam.

Brooke: They have every right to distrust you. We all do.

Hope: Mom–

Deacon: She’s right, hope. She is. You putting your faith in me, it’s costing you a lot. But that faith isn’t misplaced. I’m not going to let you down. Not again. Not ever. How did olay top expensive creams?

Paris: For the record, I think you and katie would be really great together.

Carter: And moving on. Enough about me. You figure out your financial situation yet?

Paris: I’m in the process.

Carter: Well, I meant what I said. If you need help, don’t hesitate.

Paris: Well, since you’re twisting my arm, how about we crunch the numbers over lunch? That’s the thing that guys like you say, “crunching the numbers?”

Carter: Guys like me?

Paris: Yeah. You know.

Carter: Did you just call me a nerd?

Paris: I called you smart.

Carter: Wow, you called me a nerd. Wow. Well, I’ll take that as a compliment.

Paris: You should. So, what are you in the mood for? Mexican? Chinese?

Carter: Actually, I already have lunch plans today. Can we rain check?

Paris: Uh, yeah, sure. Thank you. I really appreciate you helping me out like this.

Carter: Of course, I love crunching numbers. And hanging out with you is not so bad, either.

Paris: I’ll take that as a compliment.

Carter: You should. But for real, paris. It’s always a nice time with you. You’re the kind of person who can literally lift someone up by just walking into a room. It’s an amazing quality. You’re pretty special.

Steffy: Hope wants the family she never had. And that’s her mom and dad having a relationship, a friendship.

Ridge: What are you talking about? Brooke would never go for that.

Steffy: Brooke defended deacon.

Ridge: She defended deacon because she wants her daughter to have a relationship with him, not because she wants to connect with him.

Steffy: Okay, but if she wants to support hope, she needs to truly believe deacon has changed. And if brooke was able to look past all of their history, they connected. And that’s exactly what deacon wants. And that puts you and brooke at odds with each other and gives deacon a wider space to come through. Hope has this like, unrealistic belief in her father and brooke is falling for it, too. That should concern you.

Hope: Mom, I know that I’m asking a lot of you, but I have always been so grateful for your your faith and trust in me. I’m just asking, can’t you do the same for dad?

Brooke: Honey, it’s not that simple. I mean, just because deacon is sorry doesn’t mean it’s going to erase all those years of pain. And it’s going to be difficult for everybody to give him a second chance.

Hope: But you want to believe him, though, right? I mean, whether you admit it or not. Am I wrong?

Brooke: No. Mostly for your sake.

Deacon: Brooke, I know that there’s nothing I can do that’s going to make you believe I changed. I have to wait for a chance to– to prove it to you. But. All right, look. I know this is much, but I’m trying. I really am. You know, taking all that abuse from liam and ridge, just standing there and doing nothing, that doesn’t come easy for a guy like me. You let someone disrespect you like that in prison, you wind up washing their socks or their underwear and that’s if you’re lucky. You know what it’s like having someone point out all the sins of your past every single day when you’re trying to move on? Trying to– trying to be a better person? It’s soul crushing. But I take it. I take it because I love hope. I want to be a part of her life. I want to be a part of our grandkids lives and getting mixed up in some altercation with either liam or ridge, it’s just not worth it. I’m not going to screw it up. Some people have joint pain,

Carter: Okay, you know what, I can’t get into this right now. I have a lunch I need to get to. We’ll touch base tomorrow. Okay.

Katie: Hey.

Carter: Perfect timing. You ready?

Katie: Uh, gosh, I really hate to do this, but I’m going to have to cancel.

Carter: Why? What’s going on?

Katie: Bill, he set up a video call with will. He didn’t tell me about it.

Carter: Wow.

Katie: Yeah, I know. Um, I don’t want to disappoint will, though. He’s so far away at school.

Carter: Of course not.

Katie: I’m going to head over to spencer. It’s good for will to see bill and me together. I’m so sorry.

Carter: Oh don’t, please. Your son has to come first. We can have lunch another time.

Katie: Thanks for understanding.

Liam: Can I– can I just call a spade a spade? Hope has blinders on right now. That’s– that’s what’s happening.

Steffy: She’s choosing to have blinders on. She knows exactly who deacon is and what he’s capable of.

Ridge: And that’s the most frustrating part, right? You watch someone you love walk towards a cliff and you can’t stop them from falling.

Steffy: Are we talking about brooke or hope? Because usually I would say just let them fall and then they would learn but we can’t do that because the children are at stake.

Ridge: No, we can’T. It’s a big concern.

Liam: Well, look, I’m just as frustrated as you are but with hope, the more I push, the more I push her away.

Ridge: So, what do we do? We have to keep pushing until they get it.

Liam: Okay, but what if they don’t? I don’t like arguing with my wife if it’s not going to do anything–

Ridge: I don’t like arguing with her either or mine.

Steffy: Okay, I’m just going to say this and I’m saying this out of love, but both of your wives have a self-righteous, sanctimonious streak and when they think they’re right, there’s nothing we can do to change their mind. What damage does deacon have to inflict to get hope and brooke to realize we’ve been right about him all along?

Brooke: I do believe you love our daughter. But what’s to stop the old deacon from making his way back to you again? We have been down that road before. So why is this so different?

Deacon: It’s a fair question. I guess, if I had to pinpoint one thing, I’d say it was that letter that hope sent me in prison where she told me about the doctor who stole her baby and it said that it had died. I was reading that letter and I could literally feel her pain in every single word. My daughter went through the most excruciating thing that any parent could ever go through. And I wasn’t there for her. And I’m sorry. Brooke, I know that seeing me brings up some very painful memories for you. I know that. But, we also made this one.

[ Light laughter ]

Hope: We’re family, mom, and there’s nothing that ridge or liam or steffy can do to change that. We will always be family.

Paris: Oh, I thought you had lunch plans.

Carter: Yeah, me too.

Paris: What’s going on?

Carter: It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.

Paris: Carter, you know if something’s bothering you, you can talk to me.

Carter: It’s just… I don’t even know how to say it.

Paris: Hey. You will not get any judgment from me.

Carter: Well, I’ve been doing some self-reflecting and uh, I think I’m beginning to realize the reason I’ve been a perpetual bachelor isn’t because of the women I’ve been choosing, but the choices I’ve been making.

Paris: Wow, that’s pretty deep.

Carter: I knew that maya wasn’t over rick when I proposed to her. And I knew zoe was still dealing with thomas when I made my move and then I just– I moved so fast. And the whole quinn thing and… I’m rambling.

Paris: No, no, you’re not. You have a big heart and I appreciate that about you.

Carter: Too big.

Paris: No such thing. It’s like your superpower. You like rescuing people.

Carter: I do?

Paris: You’re an incredible guy, carter. You know, I care about you. And I’m here, if you ever want to talk or, if there’s anything I can do.

Carter: You’ll do anything? Let me take you to lunch.

Paris: Okay. I’d like that.

Hope: Douglas got an a on his spelling test.

Liam: Oh, yeah? That’s great.

Hope: Yeah, he was really excited to put it up on the fridge.

Liam: I um, I made an appointment for beth at uh, her pediatrician’s to get a checkup.

Hope: Thank you for doing that. I’ve–I’ve been meaning to, I’ve just uh, been really swamped with work.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, I bet. I bet. I can’t– I can’t do this. Hope. Look at me. Hey. Look at me. I know it upset you when you walked in on steffy and me talking about you and deacon. I know that. You’re my wife. I love you. You’re like, the best person I know. I’m lucky to be married to you. But as your husband, I can’t help feeling protective of you and the kids.

Hope: Oh, I know. And I understand where you’re coming from. It’s just– I also know what I’m doing. I know who my father is.

Liam: Yeah, but I know who your father is, too. That’s why I’m freaking out.

Hope: Liam. I love you. And I know you love me, too. I just need you to respect my decision about wanting to have my dad be a part of my life. I need your support, I need your trust. And it would mean so much to me to know that my husband stands by me on this.

Ridge: I hate arguing with you.

Brooke: I hate it too.

Ridge: How can we not be on the same page with this?

Brooke: I’m just as concerned as you are.

Ridge: I don’t think that’s true.

Brooke: Yeah, it is.

Ridge: I tried to throw deacon out of the house and you defended him. This is our home.

Brooke: Well, that was hope’s home.

Ridge: That’s not really the point.

Brooke: Look, I– I just um, I’m tired of talking about deacon.

Ridge: You think I want to talk about deacon? I don’t even know why he’s in our heads.

Brooke: Well, hope is pretty clear about what she wants and what she feels.

Ridge: Yeah, no, no. She’s clear. She’s um… she’s misguided and I’m, I’m– I’m more concerned about what you feel.

Brooke: What I feel?

Ridge: You know who deacon is, right? You know what he’s capable of.

Brooke: Yeah. You won’t let me forget it.

Ridge: Well, it seems to me that you’re um… that you’re starting to believe him. Starting to believe that– that he’s not going to hurt you, he’s not going to hurt hope. And you can’t buy that.

Brooke: Ridge, come on. Do you really think I’m that easily manipulated?

Ridge: I don’t know. I asked you to tell him to leave and you didn’t do it.

Brooke: It’s hope’s decision.

Ridge: It’s our decision. And I–

[ Grunts ] I know you have history with deacon, so is that what this is about? You still have a soft spot for him?

Brooke: Are you serious?

Ridge: I’m not– I’m not jealous. I’m concerned. I’m concerned that you don’t listen to me, but you listen to him.

Brooke: No, no, I’m listening to hope. To what she wants. And it just seems like you just want it your way. I mean, you haven’t heard one word that hope said.

Ridge: Just my way, huh? No, no. You know what? I–I have heard it. I’ve heard all of it. Let me ask you something. Can you be honest? Can you tell me why you would want a guy who’s caused nothing but pain and heartache for you back in your life? It’s not because of hope, it’s because of you. So be honest. Do you– do you still have feelings for this man after all this time?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gwen: what kristen dimera told you–

Ava: Ah, save it. Shut that door because what we have to talk about is private.

Gwen: Are you on kristen’s payroll or something?

Ava: No, but I owe her, or at least she sees it that way. So she expects me to help you break her out of jail. That’s why I’m here.

Gwen: So e’s blackmailing you.

Ava: As she is you, sweetie. So stop acting like you don’t know what I’m talking about because we need to put our heads together and figure out a way to break her out of jail, and we need to do it fast.

Kristen: The van is already on its way?

Rafe: Oh, yeah. See, I pulled strings to get you out of here as soon as possible. The van back to statesville should be here in about an hour.

Kristen: That’s too soon.

Rafe: What’s that? You have a pressing appointment maybe?

Kristen: Well, I haven’t been able to say goodbye to anyone.

Rafe: And who in this town would be sad to see you go?

Lani: Her best friend.

Xander: You have to know what I’m talking about; you called me on the day of my wedding.

Susan: Oh, what did I say?

Xander: You warned me about rex and sarah. You said you saw them at the brady pub as they were heading upstairs to one of the rooms.

Susan: I did?

Xander: This doesn’t ring a bell?

Susan: You know what? They gave me one of those shots, and it just made me forget stuff.

Xander: Let me tell you what you said because I will never forget you opening my eyes about my unfaithful fiancéE.

Allie: Oh good, you’re here.

Lucas: What, something wrong?

Allie: You don’t know about grandma marlena?

Lucas: No, what about her?

Allie: Okay, this is going to sound off the wall, but i swear it’s true. She’s possessed by the devil again.

Lucas: If this is some stunt that johnny put you up to for his movie–

Allie: No, no.

Lucas: I’m telling you.

Allie: No, it’s for real! Aunt belle just told me.

Lucas: Belle told you that? That’s not possible, not again.

Allie: That’s what I said too, but no, she says it’s true. She swears it’s true.

Lucas: I guess this is making a little bit more sense now. Yes, it’s a creepy kind of sense, but…

Allie: I didn’t believe it when people told me about grandma back in the ’90s.

Lucas: Does anyone know where she is, mainly the cops?

Allie: I don’t know–I mean, I tried calling will, johnny, and sydney, but no one’s picking up, and of course, there’s mom, who’s still mia.

Sami: You know, I just have to do it. Take everything off the tray. I don’t like airplanes, cafeterias, ever since I was a little kid. I had to eat it separate.

Jason: Hey, whatever works. It’s all good.

Sami: Right? Oh, jason, I just want to say I’m sorry about the phone thing. It won’t happen again.

Jason: Cool, it better not.

Sami: Mm-hmm, okay.

[Dramatic music]

What? Dammit, dammit to hell!

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

[Soft orchestration]

Eli: Abe, come on in. How you doing, man?

Abe: Well, I have been better.

Eli: Yeah, I’m sure. I still can’t believe that chanel thought that your wedding was the right time to make her announcement.

Abe: Oh, there’s no time to get news like that. So is lani here? You think she’ll see me?

Abe: No, lani’s not here right now, and to be honest, I don’t know when she’ll be back.

Kristen: You’re gonna take a lot of flack for coming here to see me.

Lani: I can handle that. I couldn’t let you go back to prison without saying goodbye. Do you mind giving us a moment alone, please?

Rafe: I’ll let you know when the van arrives.

[Phone ringing]

Lani: I’m sorry about all this.

Kristen: I brought it on myself. Hey, what about you? Something’s wrong. I can see it in your eyes. Come on, lani.

Lani: To be honest, my whole world has just been turned upside down.

Kristen: What happened?

Lani: I found out that abe is not my birth father and that my whole life has just been kind of a lie.

Gwen: If you and I are gonna break kristen out of jail together, I should probably know your name.

Ava: Ava vitali.

Gwen: Vitali, as in…

Ava: The vitali crime family? Yes.

Gwen: My ex used to work for your organization.

Ava: Jake dimera.

Gwen: Right.

Ava: Not a fan.

Gwen: Yeah. Well, that’s something else we’ve got in common then.

Ava: Look, I don’t mean to be rude here, but I’m not here to make friends. I got a lot riding on this.

Gwen: That makes two of us because if I don’t pull through for miss dimera, she’s going to take away the one good thing that I have left in my miserable life.

Xander: And after I talked to you, I ran over to the pub, and I caught them. Sarah and rex were just about to make love, and I blew my stack. Sarah told me that she wanted him, not me, and well, she called off our wedding right there and then.

Susan: I’m so sorry. That just sounds awful.

Xander: Felt like I’d been hit in the gut by a cricket bat. But I got over it, finally. Met someone new, and I’m happy again, so I wanted to come over here and thank you for putting me right about sarah.

Susan: Okay, you’re welcome. I guess, I just don’t–i really don’t know what you’re talking… okay, hold on just a moment, please. When did all this happen? The phone call?

Xander: This past march.

Susan: All right, I get it.

Xander: Oh, so you do remember?

Susan: No, see I couldn’t because it wasn’t me. It was that mean, mean, mean kristen dimera. She’s the one who told you about your sarah. Serena: It’s my 3:10

Lucas: Is belle sure about marlena?

Allie: Sounds like it.

Lucas: My god, I can’t believe this; your mother would want to be here. She’d want to know. She hasn’t kept in touch with anybody, you or me, johnny, sidney, nobody.

Allie: She sent us that text saying she needed time to herself. That was over three months ago.

Lucas: I know, I know.

Allie: You worried about her?

Lucas: I am now.

Allie: Yeah, I am, too. Dad, what if something happened to her?

[Dramatic music]

Sami: Budge, you stupid key! No, no, no, no, no, no! No, no, now what? No.

Ava: Got anything to drink around here? Classy.

Gwen: Oh, excuse me, sorry. I didn’t realize I’d be serving tea to her majesty.

Ava: You know, I already got kristen out of one jam, but I guess no good deed goes unpunished.

Gwen: What’s she holding over your head then?

Ava: If kristen tells rafe what she knows about me, then I’m gonna lose him forever.

Gwen: Rafe, rafe? Rafe hernandez, the police commissioner? Oh, you are a brave one, aren’t you, love?

Ava: So what she got on you?

Gwen: Kristen has certain information. If it were to get back to the man I love, I would lose him for sure.

Ava: Well then, sweetie, it sounds like we better put our thinking caps on, or we’re both gonna be alone.

Susan: I know she told me to switch places with her so she could keep an eye on mr. Brady black and that little baby of hers, rachel, and that little thingamajiggy, the cheeky fool with the big eyes, that chloe lane thing. I don’t care. Anyway, she was out there free as a bird. And then I was stuck in that statesville prison.

Xander: I knew kristen had gone over the wall, but I didn’t know she was pretending to be you.

Susan: Yeah, well, nobody did.

Xander: When did the switch happen?

Susan: February.

Xander: So kristen was the one who called me.

Susan: I just told you that, honey. Okay, whatchu thinking?

Xander: That I need to pay kristen a little visit.

Susan: Oh, you’re gonna thank her?

Xander: Something like that.

[Tense music]

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

Abe: Thank you, you know, I called lani a couple of times, but she hasn’t picked up.

Eli: I don’t think she knows how to talk to you just yet.

Abe: And that’s why I kept my distance. I can’t imagine what she’s going through.

Eli: That is some scheme tamara and olivia came up with. And lani’s furious; she’s not even taking tamara’s calls.

Abe: I know. I spoke to tammy last night.

Eli: How’d that go?

Abe: How do you think?

Eli: Not well.

Abe: That’s an understatement.

Kristen: So your aunt paulina is your real mother, and your biological father is…

Lani: A boyfriend who used to abuse her.

Kristen: Oh honey, I am so sorry, but I know how close you and abe are.

Lani: Yeah, even though i didn’t grow up with him.

Kristen: Hey, why did you think he was your father?

Lani: Tamara told me he was. Right after I found out, she said that they had a short affair around the time I was conceived. She said he was involved with someone else, so she never told him that she got pregnant.

Kristen: Well, I guess she thought of everything.

Lani: They did, all of them, her, paulina, her mom. They all cooked it up together. I mean, the second I met abe, there was this instant connection. He was the father that I always wanted, the father that I needed.

Kristen: Yeah, I know how much you missed him when we were back in the convent. And I know you hated lying to him about where you were and why you ran away.

Lani: Yeah, he was pretty upset about that, mostly because he just wanted to be there for me, like he has been there for me since the moment that I told him I was his daughter. And I have gone through so much since that day, and he’s given me so much love and support. I just–I cannot believe that this is happening. It was just yesterday I had the perfect father, and now I just–I don’t know. I just–it hurts so much.

Kristen: I know, I know.

Xander: I need to speak with kristen now.

Rafe: Well, she’s in there, but she’s with a visitor.

Xander: Fine, I’ll wait.

Rafe: Yeah, I don’t think there’s gonna be time for that. Prison van’s on its way here. She’s going back to statesville.

Xander: That conniving slag’s not going anywhere until I’ve had my say.

Ava: Got another one?

Gwen: Got any brilliant ideas?

Ava: Can you handle a gun?

Gwen: Not as well as a cop can and I don’t feel like dying, so how about you just cross that one off your list?

Ava: So what are your skillsets?

Gwen: I was a super nanny. Yeah, okay. Drugged my half-sister, put her in hospital for months, and then after that, I seduced her husband.

Ava: Those are impressive skills, but I’m not sure how it’s gonna help us get kristen out of jail.

Gwen: Drug the guards?

Ava: We don’t have time for that. Damn, I’m not losing rafe over this.

Gwen: Well, I’m not exactly keen on losing xander either.

Ava: Xander? Xander cook?

Gwen: Yes, you know him?

Ava: We were on a sort of rehab together in nashville. He was euphemistically referred to as the caretaker.

Gwen: I see.

Ava: You sure it wouldn’t be a bad thing to lose him?

Gwen: Oy, you mind your own business.

Ava: To each his own.

Gwen: Enough about me, what’s your skillset then exactly?

Ava: You don’t grow up in the vitali family without learning something. Got it.

Gwen: What?

Ava: Let’s go.

Gwen: You’re not gonna tell me–

Ava: Just grab your stuff, and let’s go. I’ll tell you on the way.

Sami: Okay. Okay. I still have time. I still have time to figure this out, okay. There’s just gotta be a way to get out of– a phone, he has that phone. Okay. Okay, okay. What? 911 can’t have a busy signal! Now it’s not even connecting. Come on, come on, you stupid… what numbers do I know by heart? I can’t call my mother. Who can I call?

Lucas: Marlena almost killed john and susan?

Allie: Yeah, that’s what I heard. She had him chained up in the dimera crypt.

Lucas: Oh, my…

Allie: Oh, my god.

Lucas: What, what?

Allie: Johnny, and chanel, and I were playing with a ouija board on halloween, and it told johnny that the devil was here in salem at the dimera crypt. And then johnny decided to go down to his family’s crypt, and grandma marlena was there.

Lucas: Oh, my god, I can’t believe this.

Allie: I mean, I’m just glad she didn’t do something bad to him.

Lucas: Well, thank god she didn’T. Who is it? Is it will or sydney?

Allie: No, it’s an unknown number. Hello?

Sami: Thank god you picked up–it’s me.

Allie: Mom? Where are you?

Align. Fast acting biotic

Abe: You know, I have to admit that I lost my cool with tamara.

Eli: Why wouldn’t you? She let you think that lani was your daughter when she knew damn well that was a lie.

Abe: It was one thing to keep paulina’s secret after they took the baby in.

Eli: Especially since there was an abusive boyfriend in the picture.

Abe: Right, right, what i don’t understand is why they let lani and me think we were father and daughter all those years.

Eli: Well, did you ask tamara to explain that?

Abe: She said the same thing that paulina said. You know, lani grew up, she became a cop. She decided she wanted to look for her dad. And she did the math and found out that I was the only man that tamara was involved with about the time that lani was conceived. She confronted tamara. Tamara let her think she was right ’cause she didn’t want her looking, find out exactly what kind of man her father was.

Eli: I get that part, I guess.

Abe: Tamara thought it was better for lani to gain a father than lose a mother.

Eli: Except now she feels like she’s lost both.

Kristen: Just because abe isn’t your birth father, the connection between the two of you is still there. As someone who was adopted, I know that the family ties are more than the blood.

Lani: Yeah, you’re right.

Kristen: So just tell me something. Have you guys talked since this all came out?

Lani: Mm-mm. He’s called but I just–i can’t bring myself to pick up.

Kristen: Okay, honey, honey, why not?

Lani: Because I’m pretty sure that he’s gonna want to see me and I just–I keep thinking that if I can avoid seeing him, I can pretend like–oh, I can pretend like none of this is real.

Kristen: Yes, yes, but, honey, you’re gonna have to see him at some point.

Lani: I know, I just don’t know if I’m strong enough.

Kristen: You know what? You are strong enough. You are. Because you and I–hey, look at me. You and I have faced a lot of heartbreak in our life, and we have always found a way to get through it. And guess what? Even though we have some new rotten things that we have to face, we are gonna get through this too, no matter what it takes. I promise.

Rafe: If you’re here to delay kristen’s transfer–

Xander: I wouldn’t lift a finger to help that woman. You have my word.

Rafe: Oh, and your word means so much to me.

Xander: I have to talk to kristen.

Rafe: Well, then find out when visiting days are at statesville.

Xander: This can’t wait. It’s about maggie’s daughter, sarah.

Rafe: What about her?

Xander: I can’t explain until after I’ve talked to kristen. I’m not leaving until I do. I promise you.

Rafe: I told you she’s in there with a visitor.

Lani: Thank you, rafe.

Rafe: Yeah, sure, lani.

Xander: So kristen’s all alone now, right?

I’ll let the commish know we’re here.

Ava: Excuse me, you guys are from statesville prison, right?

What do you care?

Ava: Hoping to have a word with you.

This is a restricted area. Get lost.

Gwen: Mm, I would not talk to her that way. Do you have any idea who she is?

Don’t know, don’t care. Now beat it.

Ava: I’m ava vitali of the vitali family. You know who they are, right?

Yeah, and?

Ava: And I know you’re here to pick up kristen dimera and take her to prison. I’m here to tell you it’s not gonna happen.

Allie: I am so relieved that you called, mom.

Sami: Allie, listen to me.

Allie: We have been so worried about you, and now something happened with grandma.

Sami: She’s been possessed. I know, okay? I know that already.

Allie: How did you–

Sami: Allie, listen to me. I am in deep trouble, and I need your help.

Allie: What have you done now?

Sami: Nothing. I was kidnapped.

Allie: Are you kidding?

Lucas: What did she say? What did she say?

Allie: She got kidnapped.

Lucas: She what? Give me the phone. Sami! Sami, what the hell is going on?

Ava: Now, listen carefully. When kristen dimera is placed in your custody, you’re not taking her to statesville. She’ll tell you where she wants to go. You do as she says.

Sorry, princess, but we don’t take orders from you.

Way I hear it, no one takes orders from you anymore.

Ava: I’ve put my cousin angelo in charge. You’d be very foolish to think I don’t have power in the family anymore. If I were you, I would not cross me.

You? You’re about as intimidating as a chihuahua.

Gwen: Yeah, I’m sure that’s what carmine merlino thought.

The guy who shot the mayor?

Gwen: That’s right, but he’s dead. And miss vitali here is the one who killed him. Stabbed him right in the heart.

See, I read it was self-defense.

Ava: Still dead, isn’t he?

Look, we don’t want any trouble.

Ava: Good, then do as I say, and you won’t regret it. I’ve got people looking in on your families right now, and soon, we’re gonna be very intimate. I’m gonna know the names of your kids, their teachers, soccer practice schedule, fun things like that. You know, I’d hate to have to ask my associate here to look in on your loved ones.

Her?

Ava: They call her the nanny because she knows how to put disobedient boys like you in their place. So what’s it gonna be, boys, hm? You gonna cooperate, or do I give my associate, the nanny, her orders?

Kristen: What is he doing here?

Rafe: We’re about to find out. Make it quick.

Xander: On my wedding day, last march, I got a call from one susan banks warning me that my sarah and rex brady were about to hook up. But it just came to my attention that it wasn’t susan that called me. It was you

Kristen: What if it was? Maybe I was trying to do you a favor.

Xander: Why? You despise me. You never lift a finger to help anyone else.

Rafe: He’s got that right.

Kristen: What do I get out of informing on sarah and rex brady?

Xander: I don’t know yet, but my gut tells me that you had a hand in her dumping me for rex.

Kristen: Oh, that is ridiculous. Not that I don’t think she did the right thing. I mean, my god, a doctor, you? No, no, I didn’t have any influence on her one way or another.

Xander: What about rex? Did you convince him to come to salem to seduce my fiancée?

Kristen: No.

Xander: I don’t believe you. I know there’s something you’re not telling me, kristen.

Rafe: Van’s here, time to go.

Kristen: Wait, just wait a minute. Since I’m heading back to prison, I might as well set the record straight. You see, there’s something you two need to know.

Lucas: Listen, you tell me exactly where you are.

Sami: I can’T. I’ve been locked in this god damn room for months.

Lucas: Who did this to you?

Sami: I don’t know, okay? All I see are guards, and they’re not very chatty. I finally managed to steal this cell phone off of one of them, but I tried to call my mom. She’s got her own problems right now.

Lucas: Yeah, yeah, I know. I just heard about it.

Sami: Listen, you have to help me. I called ej–

Lucas: What, that jackass refused to help you?

Sami: No, no, no, okay? The phone died before I could even talk to him, and then it’s charged again, but the guard, I knocked him out, and I’m really afraid of what he’s gonna do when he wakes up.

Lucas: All right, all right. Is there a map feature on that phone?

Sami: No, I don’t think so. I think it’s just a burner phone.

Lucas: Well, you’re gonna have to check the guard. Check his pocket, see if he’s got a smartphone.

Sami: Okay, hold on a second.

[Groans]

[Tense music]

It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Abe: Hello, look at you.

Eli: Look woke up in time just to say hi.

Abe: Hey, carver.

Eli: He likes a bottle of juice when he wakes up. You mind holding him while I grab ’em?

Abe: Oh, I would love to. I would love to. Here, little boy, yeah.

Eli: There we go.

Abe: So how was your nap, huh? How was your nap, yeah?

Eli: Don’t be surprised if he tries to hop out of your lap. He and jules are into everything nowadays.

Abe: Yeah, you wanna walk, don’t you? Yes, you do. You know, why shouldn’t you? You’re almost a year old. Oh, yes, yes. Ah.

Eli: You okay?

Abe: Yeah, yeah. You know, I just… well, are you thinking of changing his name?

Eli: Hell no. Abe, I’ll tell you the same thing I told theo. He’s still their uncle, and you are still their grandfather. Even though theo is gonna be in south africa, we’re gonna make sure that the twins video chat him.

Abe: Well, you know, theo’s gonna be here in salem as often as his job allows.

Eli: Well, he better because his little niece and nephew love him very much. Abe, you’re their grandfather, okay, nothing’s gonna change. You will be that as long as you’re on this planet.

Abe: Thank you. Yes, here you go. Giving you back to daddy, okay? Oh, I think I’d better go.

Eli: Okay.

Abe: All right.

Eli: Look, abe, just so you know, I still think that you are the greatest father-in-law a man could ever have.

Abe: Thank you.

Eli: Thank you.

Abe: Hey, you.

Eli: Can you say bye to grandfather?

Abe: Bye-bye.

Lani: Dad.

Kristen: You’re right. It was me who called you on your wedding day and told you about rex and sarah, but what you didn’t know–

Gwen: I’m sorry to interrupt. Hello.

Xander: Hi, what are you doing here?

Gwen: I’m here to see you.

Xander: How did you know I was here?

Gwen: Well, I was just passing by, I saw your car outside, and I thought maybe you’d gotten yourself into trouble.

Xander: No, I came to have a word with kristen.

Gwen: About what?

Kristen: Your boyfriend thinks that I had something to do with sarah horton leaving with rex brady.

Xander: And kristen just admitted that she had something to confess about.

Rafe: Okay, the van is waiting. It’s now or never.

[Tense music]

Kristen: My confession is that I wasn’t doing you a favor. You see, I took great joy in punching your little dream of happiness.

Xander: And that’s all you did, just make a call? You didn’t manipulate sarah into choosing rex over me?

Kristen: Nope. I was at the right place at the right time. I couldn’t have planned it better myself.

Lucas: Sami, are you there?

Sami: Lucas, lucas, you’re right, I searched him, and he’s got a smartphone.

Lucas: Okay. Okay, great. Go to maps.

Sami: Okay, okay. But it’s not loading.

Lucas: Calm down, relax. Don’t get excited. Just try to be patient, okay?

Sami: Easy for you to say. You weren’t locked up in a tiny room since august

Lucas: Wait, you’ve been held against your will this whole time?

Allie: Oh, my god, she wasn’t ghosting us. We should have looked for her.

Lucas: Stop, stop. It’s not your fault, stop it.

Sami: Okay, it’s stalling. I think it’s the reception.

Lucas: All right, just text whatever you can to allie’s phone, all right? Maybe it’ll show up.

Sami: Okay, okay. Okay, I’m sending it. Please go through. Please go through. Please go through. Please go through. Why give your family just ordinary eggs

Rafe: Hey, sorry for the delay, guys. She’s all yours.

Don’t worry, commissioner. We’ll take it from here.

Gwen: You haven’t said much.

Xander: I just don’t think kristen was telling me the truth back there. She hates me.

Gwen: But why would she go through so much trouble to break you and sarah? What does she get out of it?

Xander: Right, I know. It’s just, rex brady showed up out of the blue.

Gwen: Well, you said that rex and sarah were married, yes? So I don’t know. Maybe he found out about the wedding, and he decided that he didn’t want to lose her to someone else.

Xander: Hmm. And maybe she saw him and realized that she was on the rebound when she fell for me. One way or the other, she chose him, not me. And that’s all there is to it.

Ava: Hey, there. I was wondering if we could meet for dinner.

Rafe: That sounds like a plan, and by the way, I just turned your friend kristen over to the guard at statesville. She’s their problem now. Thank god.

Kristen: Thank you so much. That feels so much better.

So where to now, miss dimera?

Kristen: Ah, I haven’t decided yet. All I know is I wanna get as far away as possible from this godforsaken place.

[Soft music]

Lani: I didn’t know you were coming over today.

Abe: Well, I wanted to see how you were doing. Maybe it was a mistake.

Eli: You know, I think I hear jules waking up. I’m gonna…come on.

Abe: The last thing I wanna do is put more pressure on you. I just wanted you to know that I’m here whenever you’re ready.

Lani: No, wait. Please stay. I think it’s time that you and i had a chance to talk.

Sami: Have you gotten my location yet?

Lucas: No, no, not yet.

Sami: God, oh, god. This has to work. This has to work. This guy’s gonna wake up any minute, and I have no idea what he’s going to do to me.

Lucas: She’s freaking out right now.

Allie: Mom, dad is getting everything he can. You need to stay calm.

Sami: I am trying, dammit.

Lucas: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, I just got it. I got it.

Sami: Oh, thank god.

Lucas: Just hang on, sami. I’m on my way.

    The hour will feature interviews with Hollywood legends Candice Bergen and Billy Crystal, who will talk about the secrets to a long career in youth-centric Hollywood, as well as how laughter is the best medicine.
    Additionally, FOREVER YOUNG: SEARCHING FOR THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH will feature reports on promising cutting-edge research into drugs and therapies that might slow, or even reverse, aging itself. The special will explore how we’ll all soon be able to “live forever” – virtually – through avatars and artificial intelligence. Also, we’ll showcase research into sharks and other long-lived animals, for clues that can help humans adapt to aging, and we’ll visit the pastoral Italian region of Sardinia – where “old age” is relative. The special will also look at why women live longer than men and will discover the world’s oldest known tree, a nearly 5,000-year-old Bristlecone Pine in a secret location in California. And comic Jim Gaffigan will weigh on how he copes with growing older.
    CBS SUNDAY MORNING, America’s #1 Sunday morning news program, features award-winning reporting on the arts, music, nature, entertainment, sports, history, science, Americana and unique human accomplishments and achievements. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.

Lisa: Yeah.

Suzanne: I was watching the one with the the actress from The Flash…So, I noticed that the last one was awhile ago. Are you still doing that?

Lisa: No, it was kind of an experiment. It was kind of an experiment we were doing during quarantine. We had a really good time, but it just wasn’t floating our boat enough, I guess, to keep it going.

Suzanne: Yeah, seems a lot of work.

Lisa: And there’s so much work…It just wasn’t clicking for me. I love working with her. She and I are actually working on another project now, but, yeah, for some reason that was too much. It was just too much with everything else I had going on.

Suzanne: Yeah, I wouldn’t be able to do that kind of thing. I tried it once. I’m like, “Oh, I’m terrible at this. Nevermind.”

Lisa: It’s hard. Everybody makes it seem so easy, but it’s just, it’s a lot.

Suzanne: Yeah. There are a lot of bad YouTube videos where people try to do that. And it’s like, “No, I can’t watch this.”

Lisa: One hundred percent.

Suzanne: Not yours. Yours I enjoyed.

Lisa: Thank you.

Suzanne: It probably helps you’ve done a lot of comedy, both of you.

Lisa: Yes, exactly, and I’ve hosted a ton. So, I love that medium. I still love hosting, and I love interviewing people, but it’s just a lot, when you’re booking all the talent, and you’re doing all the stuff.

Suzanne: And the editing, and you’re trying to promote it; the promotion is hard.

Lisa: You need a team; you need a team of people. We just don’t have it.

Suzanne: I completely understand, because I do all mine, [but] not solo. I have volunteers. I can’t afford to pay anyone to promote, do that kind of thing.

Lisa: But you have volunteers that do it?

Suzanne: I have volunteers who do a lot of writing and proofreading and different things, not promotion so much. I need to get somebody to help me with promotion. That would be great. I spend more time on my own social media, my personal social media, than I do for the site, so that’s a problem.

Lisa: Exactly. Yes. Priorities.

Suzanne: Yeah, I’d rather take a lot of pretty pictures and post them on Instagram than promote my site. [laughs] Well, I realize everybody has their strengths.

So, I’ll get to my questions. You were on Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2009, and then not again until [2020], so what happened in between?

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" group scene with Lisa ArchLisa: Well, so I mean, the show took six years off. I did a season; then they did one more season. Then, they took six years off. I think it’s how it was. No, it might have been two more seasons, and then they took six years off. So, yeah, when I was on the first time, it was just a one shot deal. It was just “come do this role,” and that’s it. There was no indication that there would ever be more.

So, a decade later, when I’m picking my son up from school, my manager and agent called me, and whenever they call me at the same time, it’s good news. But I hadn’t auditioned for anything recently. So, I was like, “I don’t know what this is.” And they said, “Curb wants you back,” and I was like, “Okay. I’m sure they want me back.” They were like, “No, they want you back, and it’s for multiple episodes.” And I just started sobbing, because it was so unexpected, because the day, or the several days, I had done the first time were so magical and everything I had ever wanted this industry to be, and it had never been before. So, to know I was going back to that was just the greatest feeling ever.

Suzanne: I know. He gets a lot of wonderful actors to come in and do their parts. They all love the show so much, and he lets them be different characters, even though they’re playing themselves. They get to be like, the jerk version of themselves.

Lisa: Absolutely, exactly. You’re so right. Yeah, and it is such an amazing, creative environment, and everyone there is such a powerhouse in their own right. So, it’s just an incredible place to be. It’s magical; it’s the Disneyland of the entertainment industry.

Lisa Arch with Richard Kind and Larry David on "Curb Your Enthusiasm"Suzanne: Right, I understand. So, on the show, you’re paired with the amazing Richard Kind. What’s that been like, for you?

Lisa: He is spectacular. He is so adorably insecure in a way. I just don’t even think he understands how brilliant he is. So, it just makes him even more brilliant. He’s so funny and lovable. He’s also just been in everything, literally. There is not a television show or a movie he’s not in, nor is there a Broadway show he hasn’t performed in.

Like, off camera he’s talking with Larry about musicals that he’s been in. Larry’s grilling him about certain shows. You know, “Have you ever been in Fiddler on the Roof? Did [you] ever do this? Were you ever in that?” And the answer is always “yes.” “Yes, I was in that. Yes, I did do that.” He is adorable. When I first did the show…When was it?

Suzanne: 2009.

Lisa: So, I was in my late thirties. I was like, thirty-eight, and he’s like, fifteen years older than me, I think. So, when I was first paired with him, I was like, “This is interesting thing.” But then I just immediately felt like, “Yeah, I see it. He’s my husband. I totally get it.” Then, the more we work together, the more I’ve kind of just like literally fallen in love with him, and I completely see us as a married couple.

Suzanne: That’s cool. Yeah, I interviewed him years ago. Did you ever see “Red Oaks” that he was in? He is wonderful in that. You need to see it; it’s a good show anyway.

Lisa: I have it on my list. I watched like part of the pilot episode, and then something happened. I don’t know, but I have to get back on my list. He told me that I would love it.

Suzanne: I think it’s only two seasons, but it’s really good. He is he just even better than usual in that. It was just like, when I was watching, I was thinking, “What else can you do?” This is like the role of a lifetime. There’s more after that, but still.

Lisa: Yeah, there’s nothing he can’t do.

Lisa Arch on "MadTV"Suzanne: Yeah, and I saw that you were on Mad TV in the late 90s. Was that a great training ground for you?

Lisa: So, actually, I consider my training ground what I did before Mad TV, which was years and years of sketch comedy live. That was really my training ground. I started when I was fifteen doing sketch comedy in my brother’s sketch comedy troupe, which was really a lot of work. We did it every summer for years, and we sold out every show in Hollywood. Then, after that, I was with ACME Comedy Theater for several years, and I did a couple one-woman shows. So, that that my training ground, and that’s what led to Mad TV. Mad TV was definitely a training ground for how to get the crap kicked out of you on a daily basis and react well to it, which I did not do at the time, but now I know how to, so yes, it was a training ground for the toughest parts of this business.

Suzanne: Would you like to elaborate on what you mean by that?

Lisa: Any sketch comedy show – I mean, you hear this, especially from Saturday Night Live, not only because it’s an incredibly competitive show, but also it’s live. Mad TV, we had the luxury of being taped, so you could screw up and do it again. Although that didn’t happen very often; we memorized our lines instead of having cue cards. So, it was sort of like – I don’t know, but it’s just a very competitive genre. I am a competitive person with myself, if that makes sense, but I’m not super competitive against other people. So, to be thrown into that atmosphere was very difficult for me, and I did not respond super well to it.

I met some wonderful people. I actually met my husband on that show, which is the entire reason I think I got that show was to meet him, but it was a really difficult year for me, very hard. A lot of good times, a lot of fun, and a lot of lessons. I was thrown from being a waitress literally right into being a series regular on a show.

So, you go from struggling to people throwing Nikes at you and going, “Here are these for free,” and you know, “Here’s a bracelet from Tiffany,” and all this stuff that you had never had, unless you’re being driven to parties and stuff like that. It really kind of messes with your head. So, it’s also a good training ground and learning how to be grounded, because that stuff is beyond temporary, and nobody actually loves you as much as you feel like they do. So, I learned a lot of lessons and how to trust the right people [and] how to trust myself and not get caught up in the BS of the industry, because [in] the industry, there’s a lot of BS.

Suzanne: Right, I’m sure. I’m always talking about the people just in PR, who their whole business is [PR], and I’m a Mass Comm major, so I learned about PR, but I already sort of knew about it from this job. Their whole business is to hype everything and pretty much lie almost at times. I’m not putting them down; that’s their job, and it’s a hard job. Acting is also a form of lying in a way, and then the people in charge of actors, do they even look at the stuff? I can see why you would have a lot of that.

Lisa: Yes, it’s definitely a lot of BS. I mean, look, I have some friends in PR, and I definitely think what they do is very real and very hard, but, yeah, what you’re saying is true. It’s a lot of like, “How can we make this one part of your life seem even better than it actually is?” Yeah, for sure.

Suzanne: And the network’s do do that a lot too. It’s so funny, because it can be like, “Oh, this is the great hit of the season,” and then two weeks later, they cancel it. [laughs]

Lisa: But look, what’s so funny is what has completely been modeled after that is social media. I mean, yeah, technically every post is a lie. Anything that has a filter on it is a lie. You know, how many couples do you know that have terrible marriages, and then they’re on a vacation with their family, and they’re kissing in front of a Joshua Tree or whatever. You’re like, “Oh, my God. You just you hate him.” [laughs] You gotta weed through the BS and keep your inner circle small.

Suzanne: That’s true. Yeah. Actually, yeah, you’re right, because I always tell people, “Online friends are not the same as real life friends. Don’t believe anything people say to you. They could be lying. Everything they said could be a lie.”

Lisa: And yet, ironically, I feel as though I have learned so much from online friends that I’m not even super close with in real life. Yeah, there’s definitely a balance.

Suzanne: Yeah, I mean, I have I have people that I’ve known before even what they call “social media” where they was just message boards and forums things like that I’ve known for a long time, and I feel like I know them but, yeah, you never know how much you know about them.

Lisa: Absolutely.

Suzanne: My criteria is always, would you invite them to your house? Would you let them sit sit with your kids or your dog or house sit? Would you loan them money? If you answer yes to all that, either they’re friends, or you’re very gullible. [laughs]

Lisa: Exactly. You’re exactly right.

Suzanne: So anyway, you’ve done a lot of kids comedies. Is acting in those very different from acting in regular comedies?

Lisa: It really is. It really is. Nickelodeon and Disney, it’s such a blast. First of all, it’s so stupidly fun, but I never feel as much like I’m acting as I think I feel like I’m just like at a playground. You have to be so much broader. And I have to tell you, I did so much of it that I think a lot of my auditions for many years were way too big, because it’s hard to get out of that mindset. It’s like, you’re playing a mean principle, and then everything you do is really big and angry. So, it’s so much fun, but it is very different. For sure. It’s a heightened version of what I normally would think I would do.

Lisa Arch with Michael Richards on "Seinfeld"Suzanne: Yeah, that makes total sense. You were on Seinfeld in 1996. Did that help you at all get the role of Cassie in Curb?

Lisa: I don’t think so. Honestly, to this day, I don’t know if Larry knows that I was on Seinfeld. I imagine he does, but I don’t know for sure, because it was so many years in between. When I came in, there was no indication that he knew who I was.

It did help me get Mad TV, believe it or not, because right after I did Seinfeld, Mad TV was auditioning, and the person who cast me on Seinfeld was casting Mad TV. I didn’t have an agent at the time, so I called her and just said, “Hey, can I come in? I should be in there.” And she said, “Absolutely. We’ll see you Monday.” So, definitely, Seinfeld was a huge kickoff for my career.

Suzanne: Well, that’s great. Yeah. A lot of careers.

Lisa: Yes.

Suzanne: So, you’ve been on a lot of different TV and movie sets. What sets Curb apart from the others?

Lisa: So, first of all, Curb is all improv. You get a scenario, but nothing’s written for you. So, in that respect, it takes the pressure off, because you don’t have any lines to memorize. A lot of people I’ve spoken to, other people who’ve been on the show, thought it adds pressure, because you have to come up with your own stuff, but, to me, that is my favorite thing to do.

Suzanne: Right, you have all that experience.

Lisa: Yeah, and the thing is, it’s such a supportive environment. Beyond that, it is easy to do, because everyone there is rooting for you to be funny. It’s basically the opposite of what Mad TV was. Mad TV, you felt like everybody was rooting for you to screw up. And when I say everybody, I’m generalizing. There were a lot of wonderful, wonderful people there, but on Curb, it’s literally everybody there…But everyone at Curb is just rooting for you to be funny, because they want the show to be good.

Suzanne: That makes sense.

Lisa: So, it’s insanely supportive. It is, genuinely.

When I wanted to get into this business, it was to do everything that happens on Curb. It’s to play, it’s to feel creative, it’s to feel challenged and supported, and to laugh. And all of that happens there. And, honestly, I can’t stress enough, when I tell you that I sobbed when my managers told me I was going back, I promise you that’s the truth, because it is a magical land filled with magical people. Then, all of a sudden you’re at a table with friggin Larry David and Susie Essman and Cheryl Hines and JB Smoove and Patton Oswald. My head, literally, every time I walk into one of those dinner party scenes, my head just like explodes a little bit, and then I’ve got to put the pieces back together, but it’s a dream. It’s a dream.

Suzanne: You mentioned Patton Oswald. He’s another one who’s in everything, between him and Richard.

Lisa: You’re so right. I actually said that exact thing to my husband. Patton is in everything. And what’s so funny is he and Jeff Garlin and Richard Kind, we’re all sitting at this dinner party scene, talking about how they’re all on The Goldbergs, because Richard and Jeff are on it, and Patton does the voiceover. He’s in everything.

Suzanne: Yeah, and he tours too. I don’t know how he finds time for a real life.

Lisa: I don’t either. And he’s an absolute genius, brilliant mind. He’s just insane and so kind.

Suzanne: Oh, that’s nice. That’s good. It’s good when you hear that people are nice.

Lisa: But by the way, also, and not that he is, because I’ve met him before; he is lovely, but you can’t be a dick on the set of Curb.

Suzanne: I’m sure. Yeah. If it’s that supportive, then, yeah, they wouldn’t put up with that. It’s funny, because you’re all acting like that on the show.

Lisa: You’re so right. Yeah, everyone on that set is so sweet. It’s ridiculous.

Suzanne: That’s good. So, can we see you on other Curb episodes this season?

Lisa: Not this season. I might show up for literally like five seconds on screen in one other episode, but that’s it, unfortunately, because I want to be there every day.

Lisa Arch with Larry DavidSuzanne: And have you heard about whether there’ll be a season twelve, or is that something that only Larry knows?

Lisa: That’s something that only Larry knows, and that’s the absolute truth. It’s funny, because the whole crew – I would say, conservatively, eighty percent of the crew has been the same since the very beginning, and the only reason anyone would have fallen off is because they got a job that they just can’t leave, but everyone shows up for him. But he is the only one [who] knows if, and he’s the only one that knows when, so you never know. Every time it’s been a surprise for me.

Suzanne: Well, I’m sure he’ll keep doing as long as he enjoys it. It’s not like he probably needs the money. [laughs]

Lisa: Yeah, I do not think he needs the money, and I do think he absolutely is having a blast. He’s also like, the coolest human being alive. No one believes me; he’s super sexy, because he so couldn’t care less what anybody thinks, and it’s so authentic. He just emanates, cool. Literally, he’s like Fonzie, but better.

Suzanne: No, I can understand. A little bit of that comes across on the on the screen, even though he’s being a jerk on the show. You can tell. And I don’t think you could produce a show like that if you were a real jerk in real life. It’s funny how many people in the audience in that Facebook group think that’s what he’s like in real life. I’m like, “Are you kidding?”

Lisa: Oh, yeah. And of course there are aspects, I’m sure; that all comes from his brain. So, that’s definitely indicative of what he is thinking, and I do believe there’s a lot of that; that is who he is, but it’s just obviously a much more heightened version of that.

Suzanne: Right. Well, yeah, he’s probably thinking about things that do bother him, but he wouldn’t be obnoxious enough to say it to people. [laughs]

Lisa: Exactly.

Suzanne: Like he wouldn’t have any friends or be invited to dinner parties if he really were that obnoxious.

Lisa: Exactly. And yet, I think he also probably takes advantage of the character to use as needed.

Suzanne: Oh, yeah, because some of the things he says are very political in a very sneaky way and a commentary on society.

Lisa: Absolutely, absolutely.

Suzanne: That’s one of the things that makes it great, I think, because you watch it because it’s funny. Then something gets in there that you go, “Oh, yeah, that’s right.”

Lisa: Little stupid things, like the towels. Like, my husband has said, and I’m not joking, my husband has said a million times, “Please don’t give me one of the new towels.” And I’m like, “I don’t get you.” And he goes, “It’s just different; it doesn’t dry you right.” So, when we saw [that], like, who would think that anyone else on the planet would have that thought? So, when we saw that on the show, we were like, “What?” That freaked us both out.

Suzanne: Where’s the hidden camera, that he was spying on you with?

Lisa: Exactly. Exactly.

Suzanne: That’s funny. Yeah, today I was looking up Pirate’s Booty. I mean, I already know what it is; I’ve had it before, but I thought, “I wonder if they take they were really happy about this episode,” but apparently they were bought out by Hershey, so they don’t care.

Lisa: That’s funny. That is very funny.

Suzanne: Then, I found another wonderful article about what the Talmud would say about what Larry did on that episode.

Lisa: I read that.

Suzanne: Did you read that? Wasn’t that a great article?

Lisa: That was phenomenal. So, I love how specific the Talmud is. That’s the funniest thing ever.

Suzanne: Yeah, I said that to my husband. We both love the show.

So, you already pretty much said your favorite part of working on Curb is the supportive environment and the people.

Lisa: And how fun it is and how funny you get to be. You get to be as funny as you can possibly be on the day you’re working. That’s a great feeling.

Suzanne: When you’ve been on, have you ever seen anybody where you thought, “Ah, they probably won’t come back,” because they didn’t do that great of a job? Or is that all pretty much taken care of before they get on the screen?

Lisa: No, I don’t think that is, because, genuinely, I don’t know that I was supposed to be ever back. I think it’s just Larry populates the show with whoever he thinks would fit. So, I don’t think he ever knows if you’re coming back. I don’t know. But no, I’ve never – But then again, I haven’t worked with a ton of guest stars. I worked with more stars this time than I ever have before, but usually I’m just working with the regulars. So, no.

Suzanne: That’s funny. So, do you have any other projects going on that you want to tell us about?

Lisa: Not really anything that I can talk about right now. I’m doing a behind-the-scenes thing right now that I hope turns out well, but I can’t really talk about it yet. Otherwise, no. I’m a character actress, so much of my life is just auditioning and waiting. And during the pandemic, there was so little going on. Now, it’s just gotten very busy again, audition-wise. So, my fingers are crossed that work is coming, and in the meantime, I’m in school, and loving that.

Suzanne: Are you working towards a particular degree?

Lisa: I am. I never [graduated]. I quit school to pursue acting. So, over quarantine, I decided it was time to try to get my Bachelor’s degree. So, I am working toward my Associate’s degree right now, and then I’m transferring for a psychology degree.

Suzanne: Oh, nice. That probably would have come in handy back when you were on Mad TV, right?

Lisa: Oh, my God so much. You have no idea. Yes. I probably should have finished school, although I would have finished with a theater degree. So, I don’t know that it would. Yes, it would have been very helpful.

Suzanne: Are you finding it challenging at all? Are all your classes online?

Lisa: All online, yeah. I decided there was no way I was going to do it if I had to go to school. So, yeah, all online. And it’s been challenging. It’s hard. You know, I’m a mom, and I’ve got all my house duties, plus all my auditions, plus whatever else comes up. So, it’s been tough, but I’m loving it. I’ve never been a good student, and I’ve never liked school, and I’m absolutely loving it. I feel myself becoming a more well-rounded person, just because I’m learning things that I never knew.

Suzanne: I think, in some ways, it’s better to go when you’re older, because you’re more mature; you take it more seriously. Your writing is probably better, all these different things.

Lisa: Absolutely. I mean, I think if you don’t know what you want to do with your life, it’s an important thing to do, to go to school. Look, to be frank, I wish I had finished back then, but I didn’t; that wasn’t my path. And I do feel that I am one hundred a better student now and learning so much more than I would have back then.

Suzanne: And are you going full time or part time?

Lisa: Oh my God, no, part time. [laughs]

Suzanne: That makes it easier too.

Lisa: Exactly. No, there’s no way it could be a full-time student. And what’s cool is there is a program that does classes in an accelerated fashion. So, a sixteen-week class takes eight weeks, but it also packs more work into those eight weeks, but if I didn’t do that, I wouldn’t get my AA until I was 60.

Suzanne: …I really like your curtains by the way. Those are pretty.

Lisa: Oh, thank you.

Suzanne: I like looking at the background when I interview people.

Lisa: I know, it’s hilarious

Suzanne: [I see] interesting things. Who’s the actor? Jeff Daniels, I was on a TCA thing with him. There’re lots of people there, but he had like fifty guitars behind him hanging on the wall. He apparently has an addiction to buying guitars.

Lisa: That is awesome. I don’t collect anything. I’m not a collector. I collect dust. I don’t have any cool collections of anything.

Suzanne: Oh, you do enough as it is.

Lisa: Yeah, I do, darn it.

Suzanne: All right. Well, I thank you so much for meeting up with me.

Lisa: Thanks for asking.

Suzanne: Oh, it was great. I will see you on Facebook and hopefully more in Curb.

Lisa: Yeah, hopefully more. Fingers crossed. Thank you so much.

Suzanne: All right, bye bye.

Interview with Tia Mowry, Smokey Robinson, and Mark Taylor

TV Interview!

Tia Mowry, Smokey Robinson, and Mark Taylor of "Miracle in Motor City" on Lifetime

Interview with Tia Mowry, Smokey Robinson, and Mark Taylor of “Miracle in Motor City” on Lifetime by Suzanne 11/8/21

This is a fun movie, set in Detroit. In most ways, it’s your usual holiday TV movie, but the Motown music makes it a little extra-special, as does using Smokey Robinson as a major plot point. The acting also elevates it above the usual films we see this time of year.  Tia Mowry-Hardrict (Sister, Sister; Family Reunion) is effervescent as busy social worker and foster mom Amber (who’s volunteered to take over the church Christmas pageant), and Canadian Mark Taylor (Coroner, Frankie Drake Mysteries) is great as her ex-boyfriend, Eddie.  Smokey doesn’t appear right away, and he has a relatively small part, but the real star that outshines them all is Markeda McKay, the adorable young actress who plays Lily, Amber’s foster daughter.

Lifetime had a press day for some of their upcoming Christmas movies, so it was great to be invited to be there and ask questions. I had a fun time chatting with them. Make sure you watch the movie Sunday, November 28 on Lifetime.

MODERATOR: Hi, all. Thank you for joining us for our last panel. Please welcome our panelists, executive producer and star, Tia Mowry, Smokey Robinson, and Mark Taylor.

TIA MOWRY: Hi, guys!

MODERATOR: Hello.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: (Makes kissing face.) Back atcha!

TIA MOWRY: Oh my gosh, I miss you guys!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I miss you, too. Yeah.

TIA MOWRY: Aw, you guys look so great!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: You’re the one.

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: How you doing, Mark?

MARK TAYLOR: I’m good, man. Good to see you again.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Good to see you, man. Yeah.

MARK TAYLOR: How you doing?

MODERATOR: Thank you all for being here. Our first question is from Suzanne.

TIA MOWRY: Oh. We’re — right off the gate.

SUZANNE: Hi.

TIA MOWRY: Hi, Suzanne!

SUZANNE: Hi, guys. Happy holidays.

MARK TAYLOR: Happy holidays.

TIA MOWRY: Happy holidays to you.

Tia Mowry, Smokey Robinson, and Mark Taylor of "Miracle in Motor City" on LifetimeSUZANNE: I just finished watching your movie this morning. I really enjoyed it.

TIA MOWRY: Yay! (Claps.)

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Wonderful. Yeah.

SUZANNE: I like that it was set in the city because so many of the Christmas movies are set out in the country somewhere, and they imply that the city is bad and the small town or country is good. So… I’m a city girl, I like that yours was different.

TIA MOWRY: Yay!

SUZANNE: Mark, I love your character in “Coroner,” and I really love that show.

MARK TAYLOR: Oh, thank you. Wow, thank you.

SUZANNE: The singing and guitar playing that you did in the film, was that something that you’ve done a lot of before?

MARK TAYLOR: I sing in the shower and…

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I know that tune.

MARK TAYLOR: And guitar, I used to play guitar when I was about 12. I did that for maybe a couple of years and, you know, real minute stuff, so…I had to take lessons and kind of relearn it.

TIA MOWRY: But you guys, here’s a little kind of behind-the-scenes situation. I thought what was really cool about Mark is he’d always walk around with the guitar. Like, when you weren’t on camera, behind the scenes, he was always walking around with it. I guess was that an actor’s choice to just feel really comfortable with the guitar?

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah, I just wanted to get it as good as I could and make it as realistic as possible.

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

MARK TAYLOR: And it was fun. It was also fun, you know? So it was good to learn some songs and connect.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: You know, I’ve tried to learn to play the guitar about three or four times. I cannot do it.

MARK TAYLOR: Really?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: It just would not — and the tricky part was my favorite instrument.

TIA MOWRY: Wow.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: The guitar is my favorite —

TIA MOWRY: Oh.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: And I wanna play it so badly, but I just can’t get it. My right hand and my left hand do not coordinate on the guitar, you know. But my guitarist told me, he says, “Man, if you wanna learn how to play the guitar, keep it in your hands at all times.”

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah, yeah.

TIA MOWRY: See?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I understand what you were talking about, man. But I did that and that didn’t work, either. So…

TIA MOWRY: I don’t — you guys, I don’t know how to play any instruments. Like, I…I’m terrible.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: What?

TIA MOWRY: That is one thing — no. Like, that’s — sports and music is I just — I can’t. So kudos to you guys.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Not sports, don’t say sports.

TIA MOWRY: Oh God, no, I can’t even — when I was a kid —

SMOKEY ROBINSON: No sports?

TIA MOWRY: No, no, no sports. Like, when I was a kid, my dad, he tried to put me in what is it t-ball? You know, where the ball is like teed up for you?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Yeah.

TIA MOWRY: I would strike out on that. So I’d like —

MARK TAYLOR: Wow.

TIA MOWRY: What is it, hand and eye coordination? No. Not good. Thank God, you know, I have other things that I can do.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Well, t-ball is over, honey, by the time you’re six or seven.

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: You don’t even play t-ball anymore, so that was way back when.

TIA MOWRY: (Laughs.) Okay?

SUZANNE: Tia, can you sing at least?

TIA MOWRY: Yeah, you know, I can sing.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: She’s got a good voice.

TIA MOWRY: I mean, I grew up with singers in my family. My mother, she actually sang in the choir at church. So I can sing but what’s so funny about this character, Amber Dupont, she doesn’t know how to sing. And actually, Eddie, he picks on me throughout the movie about how I can’t carry a tune. So I thought that was pretty funny. But yeah, I mean, I can carry a tune.

SUZANNE: Well, the voice is an instrument, so it counts.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Yeah, she can. She’s got a good voice.

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

SUZANNE: Thank you, all.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Suzanne.

TIA MOWRY: Thank you! Thank you!

MARK TAYLOR: Welcome.

MODERATOR: Thank you. Our next question is from Jamie Ruby.

QUESTION: Hi, guys.

TIA MOWRY: Hi, Jeannie.

JAMIE: Hi.

TIA MOWRY: Or Jamie, is it Jamie?

JAMIE: Jamie. Jamie, yes.

TIA MOWRY: Hi Jamie!

JAMIE: Hi. This is for all three of you. I was wondering, is there anything filming this that surprised you that you found out? Like, what was the most surprising thing?

TIA MOWRY: How hot it was in Canada.

(Laughter.)

SMOKEY ROBINSON: My most surprising thing was that I could do it at all.

TIA MOWRY: Aw. I mean —

SMOKEY ROBINSON: That was my most surprising.

MARK TAYLOR: You were great. You were great.

TIA MOWRY: Look, y’all, Smokey —

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I love you, too, Mark.

MARK TAYLOR: You were great.

TIA MOWRY: You were fantastic. I mean, you’re a legend, you know what I mean? Come on, Smokey.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: (inaudible @ 01:26:29)

TIA MOWRY: You’re awesome. You’re wonderful. Go ahead, Mark. You wanna answer?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I had a wonderful time.

TIA MOWRY: Oh.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I had a great time. And everybody was so beautiful, you know? Before it even happened, I was looking forward to seeing Tia because Tia is like my daughter. I mean, you know, I just —

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: …I love her so much and so happy to see —

TIA MOWRY: Aw, I love you, Smokey!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: …that she was gonna be there. That was great. And then, meeting everybody and getting the chance to — everybody. I mean, the crew, everybody was just fantastic. So I had a wonderful time.

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah.

TIA MOWRY: Aw. What about you, Mark? Was there anything that you were surprised about?

MARK TAYLOR: What was I surprised about? Um…you know what? I don’t know if I was surprised, but it was just an amazing experience.

TIA MOWRY: Aw, I like that.

MARK TAYLOR: Everyone’s so cool and everyone had a good time. And it was just — I guess maybe the experience I didn’t know was going to be so amazing you know?

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

MARK TAYLOR: But I’m definitely happy that I was a part of it, and I feel like it was meant to be.

TIA MOWRY: Aw, that’s awesome.

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah.

TIA MOWRY: I think, yeah, for me I think the most surprising part — I mean, I don’t know why it’s always surprising but I think a lot of people, they expect for — you know, these Christmas movies they’re — it’s supposed to be snow on the ground, it’s supposed to be wintertime. But in reality, we film a lot of these movies during the summertime. So we’re wearing jackets, and coats, and scarfs, and it’s so incredibly hot. So you have to —

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Except for at night.

TIA MOWRY: Except for nights. Yeah, except for night.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: It was like the instant drop, like it’s 75 until six o’clock and at 6:01 it’s 30. (Laughs.)

TIA MOWRY: (Laughs.) No. Wait, I will say this though, too, you guys. I think we film these movies in such a short period of time, right? So when I first started doing these Christmas movies, I think the thing that I was most surprised about is how many scenes you shoot in a day. Just for perspective on some movies, most movies, you’ll shoot maybe two-to-three scenes a day. But with these movies, you’re shooting, like, eight or nine scenes a day. So it’s a lot of dialogue to memorize and you’re working long hours. So that can be kind of surprising I think for viewers to know about.

MARK TAYLOR: It’s a grind.

TIA MOWRY: It’s a lot of work.

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah, it’s a grind.

TIA MOWRY: We shoot these movies in such — I think it’s what, 15, 16 days? When a lot of movies go for 21 maybe even 30 days. So it’s a grind. But it’s a good grind.

MARK TAYLOR: Oh, yeah.

JAMIE: I was gonna say, too, coats in the summer may be better than wearing a bathing suit when it’s freezing out or something. I don’t know.

TIA MOWRY: Yeah.

JAMIE: I guess it depends.

MARK TAYLOR: They’re both bad. They’re both bad.

JAMIE: Yeah, that’s true.

TIA MOWRY: You know what? I’m with you, Mark. I think they’re both just ew. But I mean, hey, you know, you do what you love.

MARK TAYLOR: Right.

TIA MOWRY: And I love what I do, so…it’s all worth.

JAMIE: Alright, thank you so much.

MODERATOR: Thank you.

TIA MOWRY: Thank you, Jamie.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Jamie. Our next question is from Mike from TV America.

MIKE: Yeah, for Smokey. One of the good things about this movie is it reminds us of how important those church Christmas pageants are. So could you recall, back when you were a kid and so forth, what was important to you about it? Did you do church Christmas pageants? What did they mean to you?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Well, you know what, Mike? I was involved in a few of them but my mom was one of those people that went to church three, four times a week, you know? She was a real lady, though. She would cuss you out in a minute but she would go to church three, four times a week.

TIA MOWRY: (Laughs.)

SMOKEY ROBINSON: And actually, to be truthful with you, when I was a child, man, church used to scare me because of the fact —

MIKE: (Laughs.)

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I’m serious about that, man. I was scared to death at church because the church that I went to was a Baptist church, Baptist preacher. And he’s preaching and hollering and hooping and just falling out. And the women are coming up there and they’re putting smelling salts and they’re passing out. I was afraid to death of church, man, until I got to be grown. I really was. I wasn’t really, like, a church-going person as a kid. I went if my mom made me, if she made me. So when she made me go, I went. And she would send me to Sunday school in the morning and then I’d have to go back to church with her in the afternoon. That was really a grind for me, man. But like I said, after I got to be grown and I understood a lot more spiritual things, I understood it more. And so I got to be more relaxed with it. But as far as growing up, man, I was…it was a trip for me.

TIA MOWRY: (Laughs.)

MIKE: Thanks. I wanted to ask you one other thing, Smokey. Even though you shot it in Canada, this gives Detroit a really good look because it used a lot of stills, second unit shots. It makes life in Detroit look very attractive. Do we kind of underestimate how good Detroit is right now?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: I hope so, Mike. I really do because Detroit has been devastated for a while. But it’s because of the economy, because of no jobs and all that. See, Detroit is a job city. And when I was growing up, the auto industry was what kept Detroit going. Detroit was the auto industry, really. So after all the auto plants moved out and the manufacturers and stuff and then we had Motown and…I’m so proud of the fact that right now, they even call Detroit Motown. So we created a lot of jobs and things like that in Detroit, also. And we left and the auto industry left, so Detroit suffered for a long time. And I’m very, very happy to see that it is kind of on the rebound.

MIKE: Oh, thanks.

MODERATOR: Thank you, Mike. Our next question is for —

TIA MOWRY: Thank you, Mike!

MODERATOR: Thank you. Noah, you’re up next.

NOAH: Hello, everyone. It is so great to be here with you guys. By the way, Tia, I feel your holiday energy. I have the holiday energy, too. I feel like you’re just gonna bust out into a Christmas tune. Yes, yes, oh yes!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Go, Tia. Bust it out, Tia.

NOAH: Come on, Tia.

TIA MOWRY: Aw, thank you.

NOAH: Give us a little “Jingle Bells”.

TIA MOWRY: No! Oh my God! Jingle bells, jingle bells. I’m, like, nervous to sing in front of Smokey.

MODERATOR: Okay, thank you, Noah.

TIA MOWRY: You know, Christmas happens to be one of my favorite holidays. I really look forward to it every single year and that’s one of the main reasons why I love doing these movies. It’s something that my family — especially my mom, like, she’s a huge fan of every Christmas movie I do. And we sit down and we have hot cocoa, glasses of wine, and just really enjoy ourselves. So…

QUESTION: Now, Tia, I want to ask you first off, what attracted you to wanna be part of this? Because we have seen you and your sister, Tamera, be part of a lot of Christmas movies. And I just must say I love watching you two on screen.

MARK TAYLOR: Aw, thank you!

QUESTION: I’ve been a longtime fan since “Sister, Sister”. I just recently binged that, by the way, just aside.

TIA MOWRY: Really? With — yes. Okay, yeah, because it’s in syndication right now.

QUESTION: Yes. Yes.

TIA MOWRY: Thank you! You know, what really attracted me with this script in particular is Mr. Smokey Robinson. You know, they had told me that he was going to be a part of it and I was like no way. I didn’t believe them at first. I was like I have to see it to believe it. I’ve known Smokey ever since I was a young, little girl and I’ve been a huge fan. And I just feel like Motown, it’s been very influential, especially within the African American culture and the community. So to be able to have that Motown flair and to have, like, Smokey be a part of the story, I was on-board from the beginning. And then when they told me that Mark was gonna be a part of it, Mark and I, we had done a movie over 20-something years ago, like aging ourselves but —

SMOKEY ROBINSON: When you guys were babies? You did a movie when you were babies?

TIA MOWRY: A baby! A baby! We were, like, in our 20s.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Twenty years ago.

TIA MOWRY: Yeah, basically. So I just — when I found out who the cast was and all of that and then just the story. I’m a huge believer in just giving women an opportunity. And Rhonda Baraka who is the writer of this movie, she wrote such an incredible script. And she’s also an African American woman which I just think is so phenomenal. So yeah, I was really excited about this project and I hope people enjoy this movie as much as all of us did making it.

QUESTION: Now, Mark, you have worked with Tia and Tamera on a movie in the past titled “17 Again”. I don’t know if that’s what you were just talking about, Tia, but that’s the movie that I’m talking about.

MARK TAYLOR: Yeah, it is.

TIA MOWRY: Yes, it was. “17 Again”, that was what I was talking about.

QUESTION: So now, we see you and Tia, you have feelings for each other in this holiday movie that we’ll see on Lifetime. What was it like to personally work with her once again for this project?

TIA MOWRY: Aw.

MARK TAYLOR: I mean, Tia, you know, she got the big, bright energy, you know? Her spirit is so giving and bright and caring. She’s always checking in with you, making sure that you’re alright.

TIA MOWRY: Yep.

MARK TAYLOR: And she just makes everyone feel involved, like everyone’s on the same level. So it was great. Like I said, it was a great experience.

TIA MOWRY: Yay.

QUESTION: Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. You have a good day.

TIA MOWRY: Thank you, Noah!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: You, too.

TIA MOWRY: Bye!

QUESTION: Bye. Happy holidays.

TIA MOWRY: Happy holidays.

MODERATOR: Thank you. We have time for one final one. Jay, you’re up.

JAY: Oh, thank you very much. Hi. Smokey, my question is for you. You’ve got such a catalogue of songs, obviously, and quite a few of them actually are Christmas songs. What kind of conversation went into exactly what you would perform in the movie?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: You know, Jay, not too much because I was gonna be on board — see, first of all, they sent me the script. And it’s a beautiful, warm, wonderful, warm story. And it was like Tia said, about Black people and about how they celebrate Christmas and what they do and all that. So that got me right there. And then, they told me Tia was gonna be involved. I hadn’t met Mark before filming this, but Tia like I said is my baby. I love her. And they told me she was gonna be involved and I knew that I wanted to be a part of it. And then, it’s about Detroit and all that. So I was on board from getting the script and finding out all that information about what was going on. And like I said, the script is beautiful. It’s a warm, wonderful, Christmas story and I was very flattered to be a part of that.

TIA MOWRY: Aw.

JAY: Just to follow up, when it came to the songs, did they ask for your input about what you might like to perform, maybe from your own catalogue?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: No, no, no, no, no, man. They had some songs in mind that they wanted me to do and I did those. Because whatever they wanted me to do, like I said, I was gonna be on board for. And so I didn’t really pick any songs to sing or anything like that. I just wanted to be a part of it because it seemed so wonderful.

JAY: Thanks very much, Smokey.

TIA MOWRY: You know, wait, Smokey, I have to say one of my favorite moments in the movie is when you walk through the church doors. And you have this — I mean, you have this, like, swagger to you, the way you’re just walking. (Laughs.) Down the aisle. And then you start singing. It is just — I just cannot wait for people to see that moment. I mean, I just started bawling and I just started crying because it’s just — it’s such a beautiful moment. And I know that you’re saying that you’re very grateful to be a part of this movie, but I just want to say thank you for being a part of this movie. I mean, you’re such a legend. And Mark and I, we talk about you all the time. You’re just — you’re so — I mean, you’re a legend, you know what I mean?

SMOKEY ROBINSON: (Over-talking @ 01:38:44) And so I really, really want to take this time — I’ve already told you so many times before, but thank you for lending just your energy and your talent to this story because you did an incredible job. So thank you.

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Well, thank you, sweetheart. I appreciate that. And I got your vitamins, too. I got the vitamins.

TIA MOWRY: Yay!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Yeah.

TIA MOWRY: Yay! I love that!

SMOKEY ROBINSON: Me too.

MODERATOR: That’s awesome. Thank you so much to the cast of “Miracle in Motor City”. Make sure to tune in November 28th at 8/7 Central only on Lifetime.

(Goodbyes.)

Interview with Chrystee Pharris

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

 

Chrystee Pharris of "Monogamy"

Interview with Chrystee Pharris of “Monogamy” on ALLBLK by Suzanne 11/23/21

This was such a fun interview! Chrystee is just great. She’s smart, passionate, funny – and an amazing actress! I’ve enjoyed reading her Facebook posts for years as well as seeing her on TV. I’m so glad we were able to do this.

Chrystee: How are you doing today?

Suzanne: All right. I’m not quite awake.

Chrystee: Where are you located?

Suzanne: I’m in Arkansas right now. I’m from San Diego originally, and then we move around a lot for my husband’s job.

Chrystee: Oh, I was gonna say, “San Diego to Arkansas?”

Suzanne: Oh, it’s worse than that. I haven’t lived to San Diego since 1982. We went here from Hawaii.

Chrystee: Oh my gosh. Is he military?

Suzanne: No, he’s a professor.

Chrystee: Okay, because as soon as you said San Diego and Hawaii, I was like, “Oh, that sounds like military.”

Suzanne: Yeah, actually, the reason I was in San Diego is because my dad was in the military, and he had been there and then liked it. So, we went back after he retired.

Chrystee: My dad was in the military as well.

Suzanne: Which branch?

Chrystee: He was in the Air Force. So I was born on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Suzanne: Oh, nice. Yeah, my dad was in the Air Force too. I was born in Northern California. It used to be Travis Air Force Base, but I guess it’s gone now, or the hospital’s gone. One of them’s gone. I can’t remember. I was too young to know anyway.

Chrystee: I feel you on that one.

Suzanne: Yeah. So, we’ve been Facebook friends for a long time. I don’t know if you recognize my name. You actually have a lot of Facebook friends.

Chrystee: Oh, wow. No, I don’t think I’ve paid that much attention. There’re so many people. That’s so wonderful.

Suzanne: It’s so great to finally meet you, because I had thought about asking you for an interview at one point, but I thought, “Well I don’t know what she’s doing,” and then I sort of forgot about it, because I got busy.

Chrystee: Oh, yeah. I would have said yes. You know, what else? It also just depends. I mean, like, a lot of times we are super busy, but a lot of times we’re not. And because we’re all independent contractors, it’s a hustle market. It’s not like you have a nine to five where you know what doing and you have a steady paycheck. But in the acting world, you’re an independent contractor, and you’re constantly trying to find work. So, you have to stay busy, otherwise you don’t have income coming in. So, we’re always busy, but yet we’re not busy. You know what I mean?

Suzanne: Yeah. So, so what attracted you to the role of Diandra?

Chrystee: You know, it’s interesting, I know, Caryn Ward and Craig Ross Jr., they’re both married, they created the show. Craig called me out of the blue and said, “Hey, Chrystee, I have this show, kind of an experimental situation. It’s a new network -” which at the time it was called, I can’t remember; now It’s called Allblk, and that’s owned by AMC. He was like, “We’re not really sure what’s going to happen, but I would love for you to play this role.” And I was like, “Okay, of course,” and then he was like, “Do you want to read the script first?” And I was like, “Oh, I guess I should do that, but, yeah, of course, I’ll do this role.”

Then, next thing you know, I remember reading it and kind of getting a little nervous, because I was like, “Wow, I’ve never played a character like this before.” It was definitely a challenge. I remember the first day, and we were doing it, and I’m just “Da da da da,” and he’s like, “No, no, no. You gotta – she’s not – she’s more like this,” you know, because I have to be opposite of Caryn’s character.

And from there, I just was able to slip into this wonderful character that’s changed my life in a lot of ways. I mean, she’s so complex. Things have changed a little bit now, just because the industry has changed. Especially with Black Lives Matter, black people are hot at this moment. So, I say that with a joke. Of course, nobody would understand that, because they’re reading it as opposed to seeing this interview, but when you look at things that are like, I don’t know, different shows, the black girl was always the side chick, the best friend. She didn’t have complex dialogue, storyline. This character is so complex. She has so much stuff going on in her life. This third season, I mean, you just see so much come out that the fans are like, “Wow.” The first season they loved me. Second season, they did not like me. Third season, they were like, “Oh, my God, I completely understand her. Wow, been through that. Wow.” Then, they had compassion for me. Then, the next episode after that, after the first episode, they were like, they had compassion for me. They’re like, “Oh, man, I understand her. Wow.” The next episode after that, episode three, they hated me again. Then, by the end of the season, they’re just like, “Oh, my God, we’re pulling for her.” I’ve never seen fans go through the emotional up and down with the character that I played before. It’s just beautiful. I mean, I just I love Diandra. She’s probably my favorite so far.

Suzanne: And what would you say that you and she have the most in common and what you have that’s very different?

Chrystee: Well, one thing that is not in common is that I’m not worth $10 million. I mean, this character is worth – her parents left her money before they died. That portion of it, I definitely cannot relate to, and being calm and collected, but people would look at me and go, “No, what are you talking about? That is you,” Like, I suppress my emotions, but yet I can’t suppress my emotions. So, it’s like this dual battle.

What I probably can relate to is just the complexity of marriage and divorce and the complexity of family and the trauma that you can go through with family. I think I can relate to that. Not to say that my family went through crazy times, but enough that you think you’re the only person who’s gone through this, and you realize, no, a lot of people have complex relationships with their families, you know? Like my brother passed away. Actually, it’ll be three years now, but he was bipolar, schizophrenic, homeless, you know what I mean? So, you try to hide those things. You don’t want people to see what’s really going on in your family. You try to hide those, and then you realize, “Oh, maybe you don’t have to hide it,” that a lot more of us have gone through these things, and you try to deal with it. Then, the heartbreak of losing them without even being able to say goodbye is the hardest thing in the world, you know?

Suzanne: Yeah, I can imagine. I watched season one yesterday, and I really enjoyed it.

Chrystee: Thanks.

Suzanne: I’m sure I’m not the only one that is playing catch up, because people nowadays, they’ll binge watch some show they never watched.

Chrystee: Yeah.

Suzanne: So, what can you tell me do I have to look forward to in seasons two and three?

Chrystee: Well, part of the thing that you look forward to is that the production value is better. laughs

Suzanne: I did see the first episode of the second season, so I know what you’re talking about.

Chrystee: Yeah, I mean, it’s like night and day, because we actually finally had gotten a budget. That’s definitely number one. But that journey of season two, now you’re pulling for you know, who do you want to stay together? Who do you want to split apart? And for the people who are reading this article, the show, Craig Ross Jr.’s Monogamy is about four couples who are going through marital issues, and they decide to do a spousal swap through an experiment to work out their relationship. Which is crazy in itself, but that second season, you’re really sitting there going, “Oh my gosh, which relationship do I want to stay together?” Like, who do you want to to stay? You get to season three, and you’re not expecting any of what happens in season three. I remember getting the script and going, “What in the world?” You know what I mean? Like, “What the what?”

"Monogamy" on ALLBLKAnd that’s the great thing about the writers, for this show, is you think that the show is going to go one way, and it completely goes left, and you’re kind of in shock. Nothing in the show is predictable, like nothing. Even I remember this particular season – I’m watching the show in real time, because we don’t get to see it ahead of time, and, literally, I remember when I got to episode three or four, and I remember saying, “I cannot remember what happens. I have to go back and reread the script.” And I reread the script, and my significant other was so mad, because he was like, “Well, let me read it.” And I was like, “No, you gotta watch it.” And he’s like, “That’s not fair! You’re gonna read it, and I don’t get to read it. That’s just not fair.” And I was like, “I don’t care.” And I went back and read the whole entire last season of episodes.

But yeah, I promise you, people are going to go through an emotional roller coaster ride, because it’s just so unpredictable. It really isn’t predictable. It almost makes me go, “Really Diandra?”

Suzanne: It has a sci-fi vibe to it, even though it’s not sci-fi, because of the people that you never see and that kind of thing.

Chrystee:
Yeah.

Suzanne: It makes it interesting. Or one of those weird Korean dramas that may or may not be sci-fi.

Chrystee: Yeah, like it seems like some extraterrestrial, although it’s not in any way, shape, or form, but it’s kind of like, it’s not quite like Squid Games, but Squid Games –

Suzanne: It has that vibe.

Chrystee: Yeah. Where you have these people that are talking, and you never see their faces and so forth. Just a little bit, yeah.

Suzanne: And it kind of goes back all the way, if you want to go back all the way to a show like The Prisoner from the 1960s, which I don’t remember if it was strictly sci-fi or it just felt that way, where they had a man who was being kept prisoner. They wouldn’t give him a name. He had a number.The cast of "Passions" on NBC

Chrystee:
I never saw that.

Suzanne: Yeah. It’s a little obscure, but sci-fi fans know it.

Chrystee: Gotcha.

Suzanne: So, that kind of thing is very interesting, and even though they’re not really prisoners, they sign up to be prisoners. So, it’s similar in a way. They have to follow the rules. It struck me interesting that they all followed the rules, I guess because their financial finances were on the line. It would make me wonder how people would act that would do that if their finances were not on the line. It was almost like a reality show, in a way. It was scripted. I guess they did have a Wife Swap reality show, but it wasn’t quite the same way. It wasn’t really wife swapping; they called it wife swapping, but it was family swapping. It didn’t have the whole sexual aspect to it.

Chrystee: Yeah, and, I mean, in season two, there’s a financial challenge, and it makes you wonder how people are going to react, and Diandra goes through that a little bit, in the second season, and it takes her out of her cool, calm collected, “I know how to handle this stuff.” I mean, I think that’s why season two has its own journey.

Suzanne: Yeah, and it struck me as odd that the show is on a streaming channel, and it’s very sexual, but at least what I’ve seen so far, there’s no actual nudity.

Chrystee: No.

Suzanne: You know If this was on HBO, Showtime, Netflix there would have been nudity. So, do you know why they chose that?

Chrystee: Well, I mean, I just think because of the streaming network; this particular network is still limited. I’m not sure if they can take it that far, but I think also, out of respect – I mean, which is why the director is so amazing is that he makes sure that you’re all comfortable with what’s happening. Like in season three, it gets, for my character, in my opinion, a little more riskier, to a certain degree. He and I had had a talk about it, what I was comfortable with, but because of the fact that we shot it during the pandemic, and you want to be COVID safe, he had to change things around and be sure that they could still get the story across without compromising anything or putting us in jeopardy, our lives in jeopardy, because of COVID.

Suzanne: Right. So, that was why there was a year between season two and three with COVID, but you didn’t take the whole year off?

Chrystee: Yes. So the reason why it was it prolonged the first season to the second season was because it was a new network, so they had to do whatever you do. Then, finally we got greenlit; we shot it. We were getting ready to shoot the next season. The pandemic hit. Okay, so, we were like, “Hey, we’re gonna be shooting.” “Wait; hold on. Something’s happening. Oh, wait a minute.” Like, you know, “I’m scared. I don’t want to go anywhere.”

Suzanne: Yeah, I know. So, what’s it been like working with Brian White and Darius McCrary? What a choice your character had.

Chrystee: Yeah, yeah. Well, it was it’s so interesting, because Darius, Wesley Jonathan, and Caryn and I, we all did this movie that really wasn’t the best movie in the world, but people love it. So, I don’t say anything bad about it, but we all did a movie together back in the day, which is how we all met. Then, fast forward to doing this together. I mean, Darius is a very energetic, sweet, breezy, lovable teddy bear. He’s just the sweetest guy, and it was it’s always a joy. Brian is completely opposite. Brian is a little more low key, very business oriented. You know, “let’s get this done” kind of thing. Very focused, you know, that type. Darius is more like, “Hey, everybody, I love you guys! What are we doing today?” So, they’re completely different character people, like just people in general, and they fit their characters to a tee, because Brian’s character is really intense; he’s so intense. Then, you have Darius’s character, who’s kind of like, you know. So, it was a joy to work with both of them, because they’re completely opposite. Completely opposite, but great people. Great people.

Suzanne: Good. Brian has been in so many great things. I just love him. And Darius was on The Young and the Restless. So, you actually have that in common with the soap. It’s funny, because he was brought in to sort of replace Shemar Moore’s character, and it didn’t really work, and I think it might have had to do with the directing or something, the writing, because this character that he’s playing in your show reminds me a lot of Mr. Moore’s character when he played him, and I think if they had given him the right writing and direction then he would have worked better as that character, because…they sort of made him boring in the show. That’s unfortunate, because he’s obviously a very good actor.

Chrystee: Yeah, yeah.

Suzanne: So yeah, I know that a lot of times fans blame the actor when it when a lot of it has to do with the writing and the directing and other factors that we don’t even know about.

Chrystee: Yeah, I mean, it happens, and it’s not it’s also not easy to replace somebody. I came in replacing — her name was Lena Cardwell on Passions, and I remember, in the beginning, people were a little, you know, “Well, no.” Then, I stood my ground. I had good skills, and people accepted me and loved me, and I didn’t have any issues with the transition.

But when the new girl came in, Cathy Doe, she came in, and I’ll never forget, because I remember, we ended up the week that I left was the day that she started, but that same day, we worked on a film together, and we happened to go [unintelligible] film. I know she thought I wasn’t going to like her, or would be standoffish or whatever, because she’s taking my role. And the first thing I did, I was like, “Oh, my gosh, we get to meet! Do you have any questions? Make sure you do you. Don’t try to be like me; just create your own character.” And she was just like, “Oh, my god, she was so nice to me.” She said this in an interview, and I responded back, because the same people who interviewed her interviewed me. I said, “Well, I had to tell her, and for everybody out there, I chose to leave the show.” I wanted to give another woman, another black woman, in particular, the opportunity that I had. It was just time for me to move on. But it’s always love. It wasn’t like she came in and auditioned or something and talked her way in and took my role away from me. No, that’s not what happened. I chose to leave. I wanted to give another opportunity to another amazing actress, and she got the opportunity to do it.

But I just think, in this industry, people can be so insecure about somebody taking over. And not to say stuff like that doesn’t happen, but I just don’t see it that way. I don’t hate on reality star people, or Instagram, people who are getting roles now. I don’t hate on other actresses who are younger than me or whatever the case may be, or have a better body than me or are better actors than me or are prettier than me. I know that I’m talented, and no one can take that away from me.

And now, we’re in a place where you can create your own destiny. It wasn’t like that when we started back in the 90s, in the 2000s and stuff. Things were not like that. You couldn’t create your own projects, because we didn’t have cell phones. We didn’t have little cameras and stuff like that that we could create our own projects. So, now, if you’re hating on other people, then you have an issue, because you can create your own shit.

Suzanne: That’s right. So, I used to watch you on Passions,. Do you still keep in touch with any of the actors on that show?

Chrystee: I keep in contact with Donn Swaby, who played Chad, the original bad. I still speak to Rodney Van Johnson who played my father, and I still keep in contact with Tracey Ross who played my mom on the show. Then, Brook Kerr and Lindsay Hartley who played Whitney and Theresa, a lot of them, and Sam, I keep in touch with all of them on Instagram or Facebook. So, I feel like I talk to them, but then I’m like, “Oh, but do I?”…I’m like, “Oh wait, this is on Facebook.” So, I never know if Facebook is a false – Like, is it a false communication or is it really real? You know what I mean? Because in my mind, I’m like, “Oh yeah, Jade Harlow. I talked to Jade,” but the question is do I really?

Suzanne: Yeah, I think it depends on the actor and how active they actually are on Facebook. I mean, some people just post on Twitter, and they have it set up to go directly to Facebook, and they don’t interact very much, whereas others like yourself are more active.

Chrystee: Yeah. So, I still talk to them all the time, via Facebook, like, even the character that played Ivy, we all keep in contact but, but then I’m like, “But do I?”

Suzanne: Hey, it’s like the rest of us who keep in contact with our old friends or old ex-coworkers or high school friends or whatever. It’s the same thing. Nobody has time to call up every single person that you ever knew.

Chrystee: Right, but I can say that if I ever needed something, I’m sure that I could hit any one of them up and say, “Hey, I need something. Can you help?”…I mean, all of them – They, actually have reached back out and were like, “Oh, what do you need,” blah, blah, blah. So, I mean, I keep in touch with them enough in that sense, but yeah, I talk to most of them.

Suzanne: Great. Brook is on General Hospital right now.

Chrystee: So happy for her. She just had a birthday too, yesterday.

Suzanne: Oh, okay. Cool. And then the actor who plays Sam, he was just in a Lifetime movie over the weekend. I don’t remember the title off the top my head. So, you have something coming out called The Myth of Control. Can you tell us about that?

Chrystee: Oh, yeah. So The Myth of Control is a web series that I had the pleasure of acting and directing an episode. There’re seven episodes. And Mikail Chowdhury, the creator, he reached out to me and said, “Hey, I’d love to collaborate with you, and would you like to not only act, but I would love for you to direct.” And I was like, “Direct? What?” I’ve done stage plays and musicals and stuff, but I hadn’t really direct anything via film or television. So, after putting it off, and kind of sending other directors his way, he was like, “Hey, no, I still want you to do it, do one of these episodes.” And I was like, “Um okay.” So, I said “yes,” and oh my God, that was the best experience that I I’ve had in so long. It felt like the first time I’d ever seen myself on TV. It was that excitement, that joy, because we shot – This was the special part about it is that we shot during COVID, the height of COVID. We sent everybody – because we were sitting around. We were like, “Okay, what are we going to do? What can we do? Why don’t we send everybody a cell phone and lighting and send it to each actor?” None of the actors got a chance to rehearse. None of them saw each other. They didn’t interact with the other actors, if they had somebody in the same scene with them. Everybody shot at their own house; they had to use their own significant other to do the lighting and sound, blah, blah, blah. I had to direct over Zoom. And on top of the fact that I’m directing it over Zoom, my two actresses were deaf. So, imagine trying to communicate via Zoom, which we’re on right now, and communicate with deaf actors, when you don’t even know sign language. We recommend buying your favorite at super low prices with free shipping, www.fakewatch.is and you can also pick up your order at the store on the same day.

Suzanne: So, what how did you do it?

Chrystee: There is something called Google Meets. They translate. They’re amazing. Thank you Google Meets. But they translated the words so that they could read what we were saying.

Suzanne: So, they had a life transcript, essentially.

Chrystee: Yes. So, that was how we were able to communicate, but it was so amazing, so beautiful. It made me realize that I have so much to give, like I’m a great director. I know how to interact with the actors. I know how to get out of them what they need. Some directors are more technical directors. They don’t know how to speak to actors, but I’m an actor’s director. Every actor communicates differently. You, as a director, have to figure out instantly, “How does this actor communicate? How do they receive information?” Because one person, you can just tell them. Another person, you have to show them. Another person, you just have to give them the psychological background of a character, and then they know how to do it. So, you have to know. And some directors just have to let the actors figure it out, because they’ll get there. They’ll get frustrated if you tell them. So, you really figure it out. You’re like a teacher. I have no idea how to –

Suzanne: I was just gonna say, it’s very much like being a teacher.

Chrystee: Yeah, you have to really be so present, to look at your students, your actor, whatever and really, like, figure out in two minutes how they [unintelligible].

So, this young actress, her name is Natash Ofili, and she is phenomenal. It made me realize how we separate ourselves, how there’s another group of people that we don’t communicate with, that either we’re afraid to communicate, or we just are oblivious to. And it made me realize – I have no deaf friends. Then, it made me realize how we do not cater to all the people in the world, because there’re events that I wanted them to come to, but they didn’t have any interpreters. It was like, “Hey, we want to do this; we want them to come to the film festival,” but they didn’t have any interpreters.

So, you realize that – you know, being a person of color, it’s tough. Things happen that, you know, no sense of even going through all the things, but I can only imagine being a person of color and being deaf and going through that trauma. Because one of the things that she said was during Black Lives Matter, like the deaf community is already small, but Black Lives Matter and the Trump era started happening, and it made it even smaller, because that community became separated. She said it was even worse. I mean, there were things that she was talking about that I didn’t even have a clue. I thought sign language was common amongst, just that world. She was like, “No.” Even from New York to LA, east coast, west coast, the south, they’re all different, because at one point in time, she was saying in the south, they would not teach the black community who are deaf sign language to [unintelligible]. So, if you go to the south, they don’t speak the same language as the west coast or the east coast. And even the east coast and the west coast talk differently. Like west coast, I think they talk with both hands and maybe the east coast talk with one hand? She was like, “Oh, yeah, it’s completely different.” And I was like, “I can only imagine.”

Suzanne: That’s interesting.

Chrystee: So, my point of all of me saying all of that was that directing this has opened my world to something I didn’t even know I was missing, and now I cannot live without them.

Suzanne: Right. And you won an award recently for directing something right?

Chrystee: I did. We won two awards so far. It’s been in twenty festivals. I won Best Director, and it won Best COVID film as well.

Suzanne: So, you’re going to have to do more directing, I guess.

Chrystee: Yes, that would be the goal. That would be the goal.

Suzanne: That’s great. It’s always great when somebody can seize the opportunity and then make something great out of it.

Chrystee: Yeah. I mean, that’s the thing about like how I told you we’re always busy, and yet we’re not busy all at the same time. You’ve go to create your own opportunities.

Suzanne: Is there anything else you have coming up that you want to tell us about? Or that you can tell us about?

Chrystee: I mean, I’m at a place in my life where, you know, you always hear those sayings where they say, “Enjoy what you do, and the money will follow?” I used to always look at people and go, “What?” In the beginning, I used to have fun, and then at some point in time, I stopped having fun, because I was always in hustle mode, trying to make sure that I stayed on top of whatever. I mean, I make a living off of this, what I do: voiceovers and acting and directing and whatever. So, the pandemic just opened my eyes to realize life is short, and you need to have fun and enjoy the process. So, now, I am learning how to do in my 40s martial arts and sword fighting, and now my new thing is learning how to do motion capture in animation.

…They did a video, because I was like, “Oh, I should videotape what I just learned.” And I looked at myself, and I was like, “Oh, my God, I look a hot mess.” And normally I’d be like, “There’s no sense in me starting this, because I just look a hot mess” during the sword fighting, and then I was like, “Yeah, but are you having fun?” “I am having fun.” “Okay, then why don’t you just keep going?” And don’t do it because you’re trying to get to this destination of doing motion capture being a kick-ass action hero on some TV show or film, do it because you’re enjoying it. Then, if something happens from it, okay. So, if you want to learn how to play the piano, don’t do because you’re trying to do something at Carnegie Hall, do it because you always wanted to play the piano, and it’s going to make you happy. So, if I die tomorrow, I would be happy, because I learned how to play the piano.

Suzanne: Right. Yeah, a lot of people don’t understand what you’re saying, and I get it, totally. It doesn’t matter what age you are, or what’s going on in your life, do what makes you happy. If you enjoy learning new things, learn new things. It’s not like you have to be fantastic at it. It’s just for you.

Chrystee: And I never looked at it like that. I was always like, “How am I going to make money off of this?” It’s like, when the pandemic happened, first thing I said was, “How am I gonna make money during the pandemic? What in the entertainment industry is still happening?” And it was, “Oh, voiceover work is still happening.” So, what did I do? I built that right there. [unintelligible] So, that’s what I mean. Like, are you having fun with it? You should do it, because it’s fun, not because you get to some destination.

So, yeah, that would be the wisdom that I would leave with my audience is to make sure that you’re having fun, because this life can be long; it could be short, but really, what you want to make sure is that no matter when it comes to an end, you enjoyed every single day of your life. And I don’t think I learned that until the pandemic.

Suzanne: Wow, okay, well, that’s good. That’s a good lesson to learn. It wasn’t a totally wasted.

Chrystee: Exactly. You’re right. You’re absolutely right. It wasn’t. Actually, as many people as I lost and I saw die and go through crazy stuff, it was a good time for me to sit back, because I’ve never taken a break before in my twenty years of doing this; I’ve never taken a break. I don’t take breaks for my birthday, holidays, none of that. I took my first vacation, and, I mean, it was like, “Wow, how come I haven’t been doing this this whole time?” Why was I not doings stuff with my friends when everybody’s like, “Yeah, we’re going on a cruise. You want to roll?” “No, can’t roll. I got to stay here to see if there’s any income coming in from a job.” I was always doing that, and the pandemic made me go, “Wow, all those people who I knew were hustling all the time, and they’re gone,” and they never made it to their destination either. So, you better enjoy this life, because we don’t know what tomorrow may bring.

Suzanne: That is true. And thank you. Those are great words of wisdom to end an interview, and I appreciate it.

Chrystee: I appreciate it as well, and thanks so much for the interview.

Suzanne: Oh, thank you. I’m glad I got to watch Monogamy; it’s great.

Chrystee: Yeah, if you get a chance to get to that third season, it’s a doozy. It’s a doozy.

Suzanne: I’m gonna definitely try. I watch a lot of TV.

Chrystee: Of course, of course. That’s why I said if you get a chance.

Suzanne: Yeah, I really enjoy it though. Yeah, I will add it to my list.

Chrystee: All right. All right. Thanks so much. Have a good one.

Suzanne: Thank you. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Chrystee: You too. All right. Bye bye.

Here is the audio version of it.

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ciara: [Groans]

Ben: This is all normal morning sickness, right?

Ciara: Mm, I mean, it’s not morning, but yes. They say that this is a sign of a healthy pregnancy.

Ben: Still no fun.

Ciara: Mm, tell me about it, but it’ll all be worth it in the end.

Ben: Yes, it will.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: For now, I have a little something that might help. Huh?

Ciara: [Chuckles] Another gift for the baby?

Ben: Mm-mm.

Ciara: You know, our child is already spoiled.

Ben: Uh-uh, uh-uh. This one is for mama. Happy anniversary.

Ciara: [Chuckles]

[Suspenseful music]

Steve: [Grunting]

Susan: [Whimpering]

Steve: God, susan, what did you do?

Susan: I had no choice.

Marlena: Doug, I understand how frustrated you are, but calling names isn’t going to help anything.

Doug: I wasn’T. Literally is now the devil.

Belle: What?

Kayla: Doug, what are you saying?

Marlena: Kayla, now do you see why he has to be medicated? You of all people can see that he’s talking nonsense. He’s delusional.

Julie: I don’t think so.

Marlena: Excuse me?

Julie: As crazy as it sounds, after everything that’s happened, I believe my husband.

Shawn: You believe that– that marlena is the devil?

Marlena: Oh, oh, julie I–

Julie: No, if I had listened to what doug said about you in the first place, none of this would’ve happened, marlena. Or should I call you satan?

[Unsettling music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: [Clears throat] You–you want to play my sister kristen? Are you–are you sure about that?

Anna: Well, why not? It’s a meaty part.

Ej: [Laughs] Oh, it’s–it’s quite meaty. I was just reading the scene where john discovers kristen naked in the church, covered in pentagrams.

Anna: Oh, I love that scene.

[Laughs] What’s your point?

Ej: Well, john takes off his shirt to cover her, and it leads to some… fraught moments.

Anna: Yes, I remember. Got me all hot and bothered just thinking about it and reading it in the script.

Ej: Yes, and I assume you’re aware that the actor playing john black is…

Tony: You.

Ej: Exactly. Are you suggesting you’re comfortable with me seducing your wife?

[Dramatic music]

Steve: Oh, god.

John: Hey, buddy, thank god.

Steve: How’d this happen?

John: She did it to herself.

Steve: What? Why?

John: She’s trying to protect her son.

Steve: I’m gonna get you some help, susan. Hold on. Who locked you in here, john? Was it marlena? I’m not getting any reception.

John: Get her up to the house before she bleeds out.

Steve: No, what about you?

John: I’ll live. Get her out of here. Go.

Steve: Okay, here we go. Here we go. Okay, come here.

Doug: Julie is right.

Kayla: Doug, don’t tax yourself.

Doug: I’m fine, finally.

Julie: This explains everything– why you kept doug locked up in a–a padded room, strung out on drugs, separated from all of us who love him.

Marlena: Kayla, can you just put a stop to this, please? And, shawn, please, talk some sense into your grandmother?

Shawn: No, actually, what my grandmother’s saying is making a strange kind of sense.

Marlena: Sense?

[Tense music]

Belle. My sweet girl. You don’t believe this about your mother, do you, because this is just nonsense.

Belle: Well, I might think it was nonsense if it hadn’t happened before.

Marlena: It can’t happen again. John cast the devil out of me.

Julie: Did he? John was never a consecrated priest.

Marlena: Belle… look at me. I’m your mother. Please, please, please tell me you don’t believe this.

Belle: I’d like to hear what else doug has to say.

Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Ciara: Baby, you’re aware that it’s not our anniversary, right?

Ben: Well, it’s not our wedding anniversary, but as far as I’m concerned, thanksgiving four years ago was one of the most important days of my life.

Ciara: Four years ago…

[Laughs] I had just broken up with tripp.

Ben: Yes, you did. And I ran into you outside of the pub. You remember? Can’t ride without these.

Ciara: Thanks.

Ben: Well, I should probably get going. It’s good to see you.

Ciara: Wait. Of course I remember.

Ben: That bike, to you, represented your family, represented your freedom.

Ciara: And it represented my future, because I didn’t know it yet, but that bike is why we are together.

Ben: Hmm. Open it.

Ciara: Okay.

[Laughs] Well, it’s a little small, don’t you think?

Ben: I think it’s the perfect size.

Ciara: Wait. Ben weston, is this a motorcycle helmet for a baby?

Ben: Okay, I know I told you the present wasn’t for the kid, because it really is for you.

Ciara: Oh my gosh, baby, it’s adorable. It is so sweet. Oh!

Ben: I want you to know that our life is gonna be very different eight months from now. But it’s okay because all the things that truly matter are never gonna change.

Ciara: Can a baby even ride on a motorcycle?

Ben: I don’t think they’d be able to really drive on their own. Maybe they could. I–

Ciara: Oh, my gosh. You know what I mean.

Ben: Technically, there’s no age limit, but of course we’re gonna take every precaution.

Ciara: And you actually did your research on this.

Ben: Of course I did my research. Dads need to know this kind of stuff. Go ahead, try me. Ask me about crib regulations.

Ciara: [Laughs] You know I really, really love you, right?

[Tender music]

Marlena: Belle, you certainly can’t believe–

Belle: You haven’t been yourself since shawn and i got back from south africa.

Marlena: Why would you say that?

Belle: For starters, you dressed up as the devil on halloween.

Kayla: What?

Marlena: It was a costume, a halloween costume.

Belle: Well, it was an odd choice, given your past.

Marlena: No, I was just trying to show support for johnny’s movie.

Belle: Well, what about the way you treated that poor black cat that you took to the pound?

Marlena: [Gasps] To the shelter.

Belle: It’s like you didn’t care if it lived or died.

Marlena: Well, I’m not a cat person, but I wouldn’t do that.

Julie: Oh, why are we debating this? You all heard doug.

Marlena: Doug is not in his right mind. Kayla, come on. You’re rational.

Kayla: I am also a cradle catholic, and my faith tells me that there is evil in the world.

Marlena: So do you think that you’re talking to the devil right now?

Kayla: Steve and I tried to get ahold of you for days, and you did everything in your power to ignore us.

Marlena: Oh, for heaven’s sake, I was busy. I explained that to you.

Kayla: We didn’t believe a word you said.

Marlena: So you think I’m lying?

Doug: That’s all you do. That’s who you are.

Kayla: There is a reason that your entire family is concerned about you.

Marlena: By that, you mean shawn and belle?

Kayla: No, I’m talking about your husband. John was so determined to find out what was going on with you. He listened to the tape of your therapy session with doug.

Doug: The therapy session?

Marlena: That is a violation of my patient’s confidentiality.

Kayla: Well, not in this case, actually, because john said he couldn’t hear doug’s voice on the tape…

Julie: What?

Kayla: And that you sounded scared, marlena.

Marlena: Because–I’m sorry, but you think I’m afraid of a 96-year-old man?

Julie: No, afraid… of evil incarnate.

[Unsettling music]

Ciara: [Sighs] A human being is going to wear this, a little tiny human being that we created.

Ben: Mm-hmm. And to think it all started four thanksgivings ago.

Ciara: Oh. I… I might… I might feel something more than– more than friendship for you. Understatement of the decade.

Ben: Here’s the deal. If you’re too broken to love or be loved, what does that mean for someone like me?

Ciara: I’m sorry, I didn’t–

Ben: No, no, it’s all right. Because as messed up as I am, I know there are far crazier people than me who do find love. So I’m not giving up hope. And you can’t either. I won’t let you.

[Tender music]

Ciara: Our first kiss. Was it really that long ago?

Ben: You know, in a way, it feels like yesterday.

Ciara: And in other ways, it feels like a lifetime, baby.

Marlena: Evil incarnate?

Julie: In human form. You know, lucifer, beelzebub, old scratch.

Doug: Satan.

Belle: You did something to my father, didn’t you?

Marlena: Do you think I would ever hurt my husband, the man that I love?

Julie: Oh, stop the acting. You are not marlena.

Marlena: He would be very upset to hear you talk to me like this.

Kayla: Then where is he?

Marlena: He’s on a mission. I’ve explained that.

Kayla: Steve said it seems like he fell off the face of the earth.

Marlena: He’s undercover. That’s how it works.

Shawn: You know what? I think that we should continue this conversation down at the station.

Marlena: You’re arresting me? For what? Belle? Belle, are you going to let your husband do this to me?

Belle: You left him no choice.

Marlena: You’re going to be sorry you did this. You’re all going to be very sorry you did this.

Anna: Ej, you do understand that people don’t actually have sex when they’re shooting a love scene in a movie, not this kind of movie, anyway. It’s called acting.

Ej: I understand, yes.

[Door rattling] What’s that?

[Tense music]

Steve: Here you go.

Susan: [Moans]

Ej: Oh, my god, mother. What the hell did you do to her?

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Ej: What the hell did you do, johnson?

Steve: Call an ambulance. Now!

Ej: Hold on, mother. Help is on the way.

Tony: What happened, steve?

Steve: I found her like this in the crypt.

Anna: What were you doing out there?

Steve: I was looking for john.

Tony: In the family crypt?

Steve: Yes, he was locked inside with susan. He’s still chained up. You need to go get him out of there. Now! Go!

Ej: [Sighs]

Steve: Ej, come. Help me slow down this bleeding.

Ej: Aye.

Steve: There you go.

Ej: Hold on, mother. Help is coming. You’re gonna be fine.

[Dramatic music]

Ben: That thanksgiving was one of the happiest days of my life… until a year later, when I find myself on trial for my own sister’s murder. Then a year after that, I was in statesville. I can’t believe that you left your family on thanksgiving to come to this godforsaken place.

Ciara: Well, ben, this godforsaken place is where you are. And you’re family now too.

[Tender music]

I never lost hope that you would come home.

Ben: I wouldn’t be here if you didn’t fight so hard for me.

Ciara: Mm.

Ben: You saved my life.

Ciara: I got lucky, babe. I spent a lot of time trying to prove something that ended up to be wrong.

Ben: But you were the one who ultimately figured out the truth. You’re the only one who never, ever stopped believing in me.

Ciara: Mm.

Ben: You never gave up on me.

Ciara: Just like you never gave up on me.

Ben: Actually, I did.

Tony: Oh, my god, john.

John: Help me. [Groans]

Tony: I’ve got to find something to cut these chains. Anna! Anna!

Anna: Stand back.

John: No, no, no! No!

[Chains rattle]

Shawn: Okay, let’s go.

Marlena: This is unacceptable. You all know that.

Julie: You really think handcuffs are gonna hold satan?

Shawn: I don’t have very many options, but I mean, this seems to be working.

Marlena: Because I’m not who you think I am.

[Cell phone beeps]

Kayla: [Gasps] Oh, thank god.

Belle: What–what is it?

Kayla: Steve found john.

Belle: Is he okay?

Kayla: He doesn’t say. He just says to meet him at the hospital.

Belle: The hospital? I’m–I’m coming with you.

Kayla: Okay. Shawn?

Shawn: I’ve got everything under control here.

Marlena: Ah, ah, give john my love. Tell him I’ll see him soon.

[Tense music]

Shawn: All right, come on. Let’s go.

Marlena: You know, just– just out of curiosity, what are you gonna tell your boss about why you hauled me in?

Shawn: Well, if it turns out that john is injured and you had something to do with it, then I guess–guess we’ll start there.

Marlena: And when it turns out that I’m innocent?

Shawn: Then I’ll happily apologize to you but down at the station.

Julie: Please just get her out of our house.

Shawn: Okay, let’s go.

Marlena: Do you really think you can make me go someplace I don’t want to go?

[Unsettling music]

Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Ben: As much as I hate to say this, the truth is, I did give up on you.

Ciara: What do you mean?

Ben: When they first all told me that you were dead, I believed them. I lost hope. That holiday, I just felt like i had nothing to be thankful for. I took off on the bike, went to the woods, tried to find some way to feel closer to you. I sat by the lake and I screamed out your name. The only thing that I heard back was the echo of my own voice.

Ciara: Mm. You may not have felt me, babe, but I heard you. And not just that day, every single day that we were apart. On thanksgiving, rhodes brought me this, like, turkey sandwich. And I told him that no matter how grim things were in that horrible little fishbowl, I was very thankful to be alive. Because being alive meant that maybe one day, you’d find me and we’d be together again.

[Soft music]

Ben: God blessed us. He gave us another chance at a life together. I’m never gonna give up on you again or on our baby.

John: I feel like my shoulders are broken.

Tony: That’s it. That’s it. Just–just a little further.

John: I’ve got it, thanks.

Anna: John, just sit there. Sit there, and let me get you some–here’s some water.

John: [Groans]

Tony: Who did this to you? Who chained you up in the crypt?

Anna: Here, can you take small sips?

John: Thanks.

Anna: Was it that kook susan banks? Did she do that to you?

Tony: Why would susan do that?

Anna: Well, because she was obsessed with him, and maybe she’s gone round the bend again.

John: Nah, no. Wasn’t susan. Marlena.

Tony: What?

Anna: Why would marlena?

John: Because… she’s possessed again.

Tony: What?

Anna: Possessed as in…

John: Yeah.

Tony: That can’t be.

John: Yeah. The devil wanted susan to kill me.

Anna: Dear god.

John: Yeah. He threatened susan that he was gonna kill ej if she didn’t go through with it.

[Coughs]

Tony: He threatened to kill my brother?

Anna: But why him?

John: Because he knew that susan would do anything to save her son.

Anna: Okay, but why– how did she get hurt?

John: Instead of stabbing me, she stabbed herself.

[Dramatic music]

[Knock at door]

[Monitor beeping]

Steve: How’s she doing?

Ej: They say she’s stable, but I haven’t gotten a lot of information.

Steve: Well, I just talked to my son tripp, and he said that she’s very lucky that the knife didn’t damage any major organs.

Ej: So they think she’ll make a full recovery?

Steve: Looks that way.

Ej: [Sighs] Thank god. Look, I’m–I want to thank you for what you did for my mother, and I’m sorry for–

Steve: No, no, no, forget about it, man. I’m just glad she’s okay.

Susan: Ej? Ej, is that you, honey?

Ej: Yes, mother, it’s me.

Susan: Ah!

Ej: I’m here.

Susan: Oh, praise the lord. Oh, my goodness, she said she was gonna kill you.

Ej: Who?

Susan: Dr. Marlena evans. But she’s not dr. Marlena evans.

Steve: What do you mean, susan?

Susan: Oh, hey, steve.

Steve: Yeah. Tell me what you meant.

Susan: I meant she is the devil.

Ej: Oh, mother. I think you’re confused. We’re not talking about johnny’s horror movie. That isn’t real.

Steve: I wouldn’t be so sure.

[Electricity buzzing]

[Suspenseful music]

Julie: Dear god.

Demon marlena: Not exactly. Also not the thanksgiving you had in mind, am I right?

Shawn: Stay back, grandma.

Demon marlena: All that meal planning and napkin folding. You know, none of this would have to happen if you just left doug where he was. But now I’m forced to inflict more pain and more suffering on your entire family.

Julie: Leave us alone.

Demon marlena: Can’t do it. Don’t want to do it.

Shawn: [Grunts] Ow!

Doug: Satan, leave my grandson out of it.

Shawn: I’m not afraid of you.

Demon marlena: Then you’re even dumber than I thought you were.

Julie: Shawn!

[Glass shattering]

Shawn.

Demon marlena: Leave him. I’ve got such big plans for the two of you.

Julie: Not today, satan.

[Cell phone beeps]

Steve: Okay, kayla’s on her way up. You hang in there. We’re pulling for you.

Ej: Thank you.

Susan: Thank you, steve.

Ej: Mother, how did this happen? Did marlena stab you?

Susan: The devil–the devil wanted me to kill john black. And he said I had to do it, or else.

Ej: He wants to kill me.

Susan: Oh, baby. I couldn’t kill john black in cold blood because he’s a good, decent man. He is, and he’s the love of dr. Marlena evans’ life. Oh, sweetheart, I was so frightened for you. I was. And that devil, he insisted that there be a dead body when he came back, or else he was gonna do it. And so… I thought maybe if–

[Sighs] Maybe if he needed a human sacrifice, maybe he would accept mine.

Ej: You were willing to die for me?

Susan: Course I was, silly.

[Chuckles] You’re my baby boy. [Laughs] Oh, honey, I’d do anything for you. Maybe even vote for a democrat.

[Both chuckle] A mom always protects her child. I’d gladly do it all over again, son. I love you.

Ej: I love you too, mother.

[Soft music]

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: [Sighs]

Ben: After all these years, we finally have our first real thanksgiving together.

Ciara: Mm. No wonder I didn’t know you didn’t like pumpkin pie.

Ben: Oh, does this change everything?

Ciara: Oh, yeah. Totally, babe. I can’t be with someone who doesn’t like pumpkin pie.

Ben: [Groans] Well, could we at least have a toast, though, over a ginger ale?

Ciara: Absolutely, we can.

Ben: Good. Because… I don’t know what I did to deserve it, but I thank god that I have you.

Ciara: Mm. And I feel the same. Next year, it’s gonna be the three of us.

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: You, me, and our little angel.

[Dramatic music]

Kayla: Oh, hey. Hi.

Steve: Sweetness.

Kayla: There you are.

Steve: Belle.

Belle: Hey.

Steve: [Sighs] I don’t know how to tell you this.

Kayla: We know. Marlena’s possessed.

Steve: You know?

Belle: Where’s my dad? Is he okay?

Steve: Yeah, yeah, he’s all right. I found him in the dimera family crypt.

Kayla: The crypt?

Belle: Wait, that’s where he’s been this whole time?

Steve: It looks that way. I didn’t have time to ask questions. Susan banks was stabbed. I had to get her help.

Kayla: Susan? How did she get mixed up in all this?

Steve: Apparently, she had some–some kind of vibe that the devil was inside marlena. Obviously, john knew too, but it was too late.

Kayla: And so did doug. That’s why marlena had him locked up at bayview.

Belle: Wait, you didn’t just leave him in the crypt, did you?

Steve: No, no, I sent tony and anna in there to get him.

[Sighs] I would have assumed that he–he’d be here by now.

John: [Groans, sighs] Susan, so–

Anna: She was alive when steve brought her in here. He and ej took her to the hospital.

Tony: Yes, we’ll find out how she’s doing once we get you there.

John: I’m not going to any stinking hospital.

Anna: John, you’ve been locked up for weeks. You need to let them look at you.

John: No, I need to find doc.

Anna: Well, she’s a doctor. Maybe a hospital is the best place to look for her.

John: No, she is out there somewhere doing god knows what.

[Cell phone rings]

Anna: Hello?

Belle: Anna, hey, it’s belle brady. Did you find my dad?

Anna: Yes, we did. He’s here at the mansion with us.

Belle: Is he okay?

Anna: Well, he’s a little the worse for wear and stubborn as ever, but he’s all right.

Belle: Oh, god. Thank god. Well, please tell him I know where my mom is.

Anna: Oh, john, she knows where marlena is. Where, belle?

Belle: She crashed doug and julie’s thanksgiving dinner. Shawn cuffed her and took her to the police station.

John: What’s going on?

Anna: Well, she crashed doug and julie’s thanksgiving dinner, and shawn is taking her to the police station.

John: No, no, no, no, no, no. Tell belle to have shawn just–just–just stand down. Do not antagonize marlena.

Anna: Belle? Belle? Belle? I’m sorry, she’s gone.

John: [Groans]

[Eerie music]

Julie: You’ve tortured my husband enough. You’re not gonna lay a finger on him.

Demon marlena: I don’t have to. I’ve been inside your husband. I know that he is weak and feeble, which made him a perfect vessel.

Julie: No!

Demon marlena: Don’t you understand what happened in that therapy session? Doug came in to see marlena to help him with his dementia. And then I had a perfect opportunity to just slip into this.

Julie: I don’t believe it.

Demon marlena: Really? Who do you think hit you over the head with a hospital tray? I should’ve finished you both when I had the chance. But better late than never.

[Unsettling music]

Julie: I have loved this man for over 50 years. I will continue to love him all the days of our lives that we have left, and I would rather die than see you strike him down again.

Demon marlena: That can be arranged.

Julie: Oh, I know you. I know you have the power to break a pair of handcuffs. You even have the power to– to crawl into an honest, beautiful man and–and a beautiful, kind woman to wreak your chaos. But I know you. I know you’re nothing but an odious, lying trickster. And I have a power too, a power that you have forsaken eons ago. It’s the power of love.

Demon marlena: No.

Julie: God is love, satan. And god stands with those who love.

Demon marlena: Stop talking.

Julie: Love is what gives us our souls. Love is what makes us human. And after all your evil and all your destruction is forgotten, it’s love–unbreakable, everlasting–that will prevail. The god of love is stronger than your hatred and stronger than your lies. You cannot defeat us. And now that the truth is out, now that everyone knows you for the loathsome creature that you are, now that the truth is visible, the walls are going to close in, and it’s over.

Demon marlena: It will never be over.

To be a thriver with

Ej: You were a cat?

Susan: Mm-hmm. You know what? That wasn’t actually so bad, apart from the hairballs.

[Both laugh] But then– oh, my goodness, then the devil, he possessed me, and he turned me into the evil, evil, evil kristen dimera, and he wanted me to– you know, I just can’t do this anymore. I can’T.

Ej: I’m so sorry that you had to go through all of that, but it’s over now.

Susan: Is it?

Ej: Yes. You’re safe.

Susan: Yeah, but, sweetheart, I mean, I didn’t die. And I didn’t kill john black. I mean, sure, the devil could still come after you.

Ej: I don’t want you to worry about that.

Susan: You know what? I promise you this. If that devil wants to get back at you, he’s gonna have to go through me, because I am one tough lady.

Ej: [Laughs] Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

Susan: Oh, elvis, I love you with all my heart.

[Soft music]

Ej: I love you too, mother.

Steve: I know we’ve heard the stories about the last time it happened.

Kayla: I know, and it’s not like I didn’t believe it.

Steve: And it’s a whole lot different being here to witness it.

Kayla: So what happens now? I mean, what do we do next?

Steve: I don’t know, sweetness. For now, I’m just grateful we’re all safe.

Kayla: Yeah.

Anna: Belle?

Belle: Anna.

Anna: Oh, I’m so sorry. We–we tried to bring your father in here so he could be checked out, but he gave us the slip in the parking lot.

Belle: What, he–he’s gone?

Tony: You know your father. He’s single-minded in his determination to get to marlena.

[Tense music]

John: Doc! What the hell?

Julie: John. We’re okay. We’re okay.

John: Good. Good. Shawn?

Shawn: Look, I’ll be–I’ll be all right, all right? But marlena’s gone.

John: Damn it! I knew she wouldn’t let you take her to the station. Do you know where she went?

Shawn: No, she’s–she said something about fulfilling her true purpose.

John: Oh, my god.

Ciara: [Sighs]

Ben: Feeling any better?

Ciara: Yeah. I’m a little better, but I’m still tired. You know, the good thing about pregnancy is that you always have an excuse to take a nap.

Ben: [Chuckles] Who needs an excuse? You want some company?

Ciara: Well, who needs an excuse to get into bed with you?

Ben: [Chuckles]

Sharon: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hi.

Sharon: Hello, phyllis. We are keeping up with our annual thanksgiving tradition of feeding the unhoused and the lonely, so I’m sorry about the mess.

Phyllis: Oh, no problem. You know, it’s an open house, that’s for sure. Could I get a coffee?

Sharon: Uh, well, you’ll have to help yourself. There’s pot ready, but there’s no special orders today.

Phyllis: Oh, no problem. So, you know, at the grand phoenix, we’re not starting our — you know, our food service until late, and the managers are taking care of it, so if you need an extra set of hands…

Sharon: Oh. Well, thank you. That’s a very lovely offer.

Phyllis: Well, coffee first.

Nick: Alright, I got some food and supplies here. I’m also gonna send over a couple of vans of seniors from new hope who don’t have any family to spend the holidays with.

Sharon: Oh, great. Well, they’re welcome to come here. No one should be alone today.

Nick: Happy thanksgiving.

Phyllis: Happy thanksgiving.

Nick: Uh, I know people are gonna be arriving soon, so we should probably get set up. In this box, there’s some water and drinks, and in that one, there’s some dinner rolls.

Sharon: Oh, great. Could you put them over there?

Nick: Yeah, I know where it goes. It’s not my first thanksgiving at crimson lights.

Sharon: You’re always so great about helping out on this day.

Nick: Hey, I’m fired up, and faith and christian and noah are on their way over to help, too.

Sharon: Christian’s interested in helping?

Nick: Yeah, he’s taking his role as official volunteer very seriously. I’m hoping it becomes a family tradition with him.

Sharon: Oh, great! You know what? I’m gonna find something interesting for him to do, something fun, ’cause I don’t want him to get bored. I want him to be entertained.

Phyllis: Guys, I got to go.

Sharon: Oh, I thought that you were staying for a while to help out.

Phyllis: Oh, no, I can’T. Something at work fell through the cracks, and only I can fix it. Happy thanksgiving.

Nick: Have a good day.

Phyllis: Billy, hey.

Billy: Hi. Happy thanksgiving.

Phyllis: Yeah, happy thanksgiving. See ya.

Billy: Yeah, you got big plans today?

Phyllis: Um, why are you curious?

Billy: I guess I’m not. I was just trying to be polite.

Phyllis: Oh, well, you don’t have to be polite. I don’t want to rub my exciting plans that I have for thanksgiving in your face, you know? Because I’m sure you’re gonna be spending the holiday alone, fixing that mess at chanccomm.

Billy: Yeah, hopefully I can fit a plate of turkey in between the damage control.

Phyllis: Good luck with that. I read that article on ashland. Wow. And the embarrassing retraction.

Billy: Yeah, you know, phyllis, it’s been a rough week, but all the chaos and drama are gonna have to take a back seat today.

Phyllis: Are they, really? Hmm.

Billy: Well, it’s thanksgiving, and this year, it’s all about lily and the kids.

Phyllis: Yet, um, they’re nowhere around.

Billy: Lily was gonna go to california to see mattie and charlie, but weather scuttled those plans. When I left them, they were mid-video call, and when I get back, I’m sure they’ll still be chatting.

Phyllis: I can only imagine how your article affected negotiations for the kids with ashland and victoria.

Billy: Yeah, it wasn’t stress-free, but everyone’s trying to be fair. They’re gonna spend half the day with her and spend half the day with us.

Phyllis: That’s very civilized, considering everything that went down.

Billy: None of this is the kids’ fault, and we’re all making sure that they’re not affected by it. And to be honest, they deserve as much love and family vibes as they can get on thanksgiving. Everyone does.

Phyllis: Right, everyone does.

Billy: Happy thanksgiving. When I get a migraine,

Phyllis: [ Exhales sharply ] Ohhh, great.

Gloria: Hello, phyllis. Isn’t it a heavenly day?

Phyllis: I guess it is.

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Must be something in the air. I feel like I’m positively glowing.

Phyllis: Well, that could be the radioactive waves emanating from your ego.

Gloria: Oh, no, silly. It’s your spa, thank you very much. I am in between treatments, and I feel absolutely transformed, like a — like a golden goddess.

Phyllis: Well, I am very glad to hear that our estheticians have done you right.

Gloria: Oh, yes, oh, yes. I am so thankful for the massages and the facials i scheduled for today, and the fact that your spa is open on a holiday. And I mean, it’s — I feel badly for the masseuses and the facialists who have to work, but I will tip them generously because jcv is doing phenomenally well under my charge.

Phyllis: You should know that everybody’s getting paid extra because they’re working on a holiday. I’ve done that for them. And I’m letting them go early so they can spend thanksgiving with their family, so it’s all good. Are you spending thanksgiving with lauren and michael?

Gloria: Oh, afraid not. They want to spend the day with fen.

Phyllis: Oh. That should be fun. Um…so you’re flying solo?

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Of course not. Nobody wants to be alone on thanksgiving. No, after my facial, I’ll go to kevin and chloe’s for dinner with their little angels. Why do you ask?

[ Gasps ] Oh, phyllis, are you alone today?

Phyllis: No! Uh, of course not. That’s ridiculous, I’m working.

Gloria: Oh, yeah, yeah. Sure, sure, sure. Whatever you want to call it. Well, one good thing, look on the bright side, you don’t have to fight anybody for the drumstick.

Phyllis: And your family is so lovely. So sweet that they flew in all this way to surprise you. I mean, because family is what we’re all about here at the grand phoenix.

[ Laughs ] What am I thankful for? Oh, uh… I guess special days like these. Thanks for coming. Hey, summer! Hey, baby. Um, it’s your mom just calling, you know. Um, I know it’s later in italy, but I just wanted to wish you a happy thanksgiving, you and kyle and harrison. Happy thanksgiving.

[ Sighs ] Well, yeah, I’m definitely gonna get out there soon, daniel. I miss you and lucy. I want to see you. I’m doing great. Yes! I’m doing great. I’ll talk to you soon, okay? I love you.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Pounding at door ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Knock on door ] Ahh! Ahhhh!

Gloria: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Gloria, what are you doing here?

Gloria: Call me “golden glo.” And I am here to help you, so get dressed, let’s go, because you have places to be. On the outside, I looked fine. May have poked my nose where it didn’t belong. Room, overstepping as

Phyllis: What makes you think you can just barge in to my room, overstepping as usual, what, glo– golden glo?

Gloria: Golden glo, and, yes, I admit, at times in the past, i may have poked my nose where it didn’t belong. But not in this case.

Phyllis: Okay. What were you doing in the spa? Were you sniffing a bath salt?

Gloria: Oh, please! Don’t be rude.

Phyllis: No, I’m being direct. I’m not going anywhere with you.

Gloria: Oh, but you are, if you want to turn your thanksgiving around. So chop, chop.

Phyllis: Okay. I have plans.

Gloria: Oh, yeah, like what?

Phyllis: Okay, my plans are of no concern to you.

Gloria: Uh-huh, which means they don’t exist. All I see — oh, a well-worn remote, a lonely little glass of wine, and potato chips. Oh, and you’re not even watching anything cheery. I mean, true crime stories? That is hardly the way to usher in the holiday season.

Phyllis: Okay, if you don’t get out of my room right now, you’re gonna find yourself the victim of a true crime.

Gloria: [ Laughs ] Oh, enough with the idle threats and enough with the pity party for one. No, if you don’t get yourself dressed, maybe I’ll pick out a suitable outfit for you, and something a little different than your usual [Mumbles]

Phyllis: Uh, your power of persuasion has a lot to be desired. Where are you so adamant on taking me?

Gloria: I’m offering you a — a do-over of sorts. If a happy thanksgiving is what phyllis wants, then golden glo will make sure she gets it.

Phyllis: Okay, how could you possibly — hey! Gloria? Gloria? Gloria! Hey, I’m not calling you golden glo. I’m not doing that. Well, so we’re going here? Seriously? You wanted to take me someplace, I mean, I could’ve suggested hawaii or bali. But you took the coffeehouse. Wow. Think bigger, you know?

Sharon: Really could have used your help earlier, phyllis.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, sorry.

Sharon: “I forgot something at the hotel.” Did you really think that I was buying that excuse?

Phyllis: Yeah, I know, it was a lie. It was a lie. I’m here now. I’ll help you now. Sharon? Sharon?

[ Sighs ] Oh, wait a second. This is a dream. This is my dream. Oh! This is my dream, so people aren’t gonna do or say anything unless I want them to. Oh-oh! This is great. Sharon, I’m talking to you.

Sharon: Phyllis, I’m so glad you came back.

Phyllis: Really? Because you were a little irritated with me a few seconds ago.

Sharon: I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re one of the people that I’m most grateful for this year.

Phyllis: Whoa, I mean, I know this is my dream, but I mean, this is unreal. There’s no way I’d believe this. Why are you grateful for me?

Sharon: Well, I haven’t forgotten your support and kindness that you gave me during my cancer treatments.

Phyllis: Oh. Well, I mean, of course. That was life or death, you know? And that was bigger than us and the issues we’ve had in the past.

Sharon: And all of the times that we’ve been warring over the years, you know, you always took all the responsibility for that when, really, I was half responsible. Actually, I was entirely responsible for all of our dust-ups.

Phyllis: Really? Do you — do you really believe that?

Sharon: Yes! Take yesterday for example, i was rude and out of line to probe you about your breakup with nick or your relationship with jack.

Phyllis: Wow. I mean, am I forcing you to say this in my dream, or do you really mean it?

Sharon: I’m just trying to be honest. Don’t you think it’s about time?

Phyllis: Yes, you know what? I do. I think it’s about time.

Sharon: So maybe we can get to a better place. Or not. But do take what I said and do what you will with it.

Phyllis: Well, thanks, sharon. I will.

Sharon: And in the meantime, I’m sure you have a million other better places to be. But do you think that you could spare a little time to help feed the hungry? It’s thanksgiving. It’s about giving and togetherness. Who knows, maybe you and I can heal a few old wounds in the meantime.

Phyllis: That would be great. I’ll help out, yeah. I’ll feed the hungry. I’ll do that.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, thanks for coming! The mashed potatoes are amazing. Green beans? Here you go.

[ Laughs ] Hey, come on in! There’s plenty of room.

[ Laughs ] Hey! Come on in, don’t be shy. You can’t all be full yet. Who wants seconds?

[ Applause ] Oh, so much appreciation for your friendly volunteer. I really do feel the love.

[ Applause ]

Gloria: Okay, next stop. All aboard! Choo-choo!

Phyllis: Buzz off, buzz off. I’m enjoying this. I’m having fun.

Gloria: Oh, too bad. We got to keep moving. The busiest travel day of the year. Boop-boop!

Phyllis: What am I doing here? Hey, I’m in the belly of the beast. Gloria! Gloria? Hey, let’s go back to crimson lights. Ahh!

Nikki: Ah, phyllis. We’ve been waiting for you. No one can deliver your mom’s homemade short ribs.

Phyllis: Uh, okay, I didn’t come here to make trouble. In fact, you know, it’s so funny ’cause I didn’t even come here of my own volition.

Victor: Really? Now, we don’t care how you get to the ranch.

Nikki: We’re just glad that you made it in time to carve the turkey.

Phyllis: What?

Victor: I’m relinquishing my duty to carve the turkey, so you have the honor, okay?

Phyllis: Uh, what’s going on?

Nick: I’m so glad you’re finally here.

Phyllis: No, you’re not. I despise you guys, you despise me, and you’re being nice to me. This makes no sense. In fact, it’s creeping me out. I’m gonna go.

Nikki: Oh, no, no, no.

Victor: No, no, no, stay, stay, stay.

Nick: Please. Listen, phyllis, we’re not a couple anymore, but we’re summer’s parents and we’re friends. And I owe you a huge thank-you, and today is a perfect day to do that.

Phyllis: What are you thanking me for?

Nick: I finally took your advice.

Nikki: Your very wise advice.

Phyllis: Which was?

Nick: To stay out of the chaos of my family’s drama, and you were right. I mean, ever since I’ve done that, some amazing things have happened. Adam has finally left town. Victoria has forgiven me. We are close than ever. And dad has finally accepted me for who I am and the choices I’m making.

Victor: I am so proud of my boy. Wow.

Nick: I was wrong. I should’ve listened to you from the start.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t — i don’t want to say “I told you so,” but…

Nikki: We are so grateful to you for putting up with our family for all these years and for always being the voice of reason when we stubbornly refuse to listen.

Nick: You okay?

Victor: Cat got your tongue?

Nikki: This is a first.

Phyllis: Uh… well, I mean, if you guys think I’m right, who am I to say that you’re wrong, so [Chuckles] Yeah, let’s carve the turkey.

Victor: Hey.

Phyllis: You know, let’s get some wine — the good stuff. You know, the expensive stuff. Let’s have a party. Let’s celebrate, right? Together. And then I said, “well, that’s why they call it a deluxe suite.”

Nikki: Oh, no!

[ Laughter ]

Phyllis: This is the best thanksgiving I’ve ever spent with you all, and that’s not saying a lot because there have been some really bad ones. But it’s nice — it’s nice to have this peace amongst each other, right? I mean, I’m wondering why it took us so long to get here.

Nikki: Oh, we don’t need to get into that.

Phyllis: Probably not.

Nikki: Because I’m sure there were times in the past when we could’ve been less than pleased with you. For instance, all the times that you broke nicholas’ heart and you turned on victoria and me during the jt murder investigation.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. Well, we don’t have to go there.

Nikki: No, you are absolutely right. We don’t need to go down memory lane. We are just grateful for the guidance you gave nicholas. It saved our family. I mean, we are happy and finally united. We have only you and your sage wisdom to thank for that. I mean, once he stopped worrying about what was going on between us, we stopped meddling. So now everything is copacetic with the newmans.

Victor: So, here’s to phyllis.

Nick: To phyllis.

Nikki: To phyllis.

Phyllis: Three cheers for phyllis.

Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray! Hip, hip, hooray!

Traci: Oh, jack, we’re just so happy for you. I mean, come on, you’ve been lonely for a while now.

Ashley: It’s true, and no offense, but, I mean, come on. Your love life has taken some hard lefts lately.

Jack: I am aware.

Traci: But look at you, you found love again. But who would’ve thought it would be with her?

Phyllis: Who?

Jack: No one’s more surprised than I am. I’ve just never been happier.

Ashley: You know, sometimes the past can become the present. And when you reunite with a former lover, it can be so magical.

Jack: It has been, and it will continue to be.

[Laughter] Is spontaneous and exciting and unpredictable.

Ashley: She is all those things and more, isn’t she? But you know what? I agree with you.

[Crashing] Is worth it.

Jack: She definitely is.

Phyllis: Yeah, I am. But if you guys were talking about me… wait a second. We’re not back together, jack. And your sisters wouldn’t be that happy about it.

Jack: I realize [Horn honks] Has never been your favorite, but thank you for your kindness and your generosity. I really think it’s gonna work this time.

Traci: Oh, jack, we want that for you.

Ashley: Speaking of which, where is she?

Jack: Well, I suppose she’s a little late, but she should be here soon. Oh, there she is. Gloria.

Gloria: Happy happy thanksgiving!

Jack: You made it.

Gloria: Everyone.

Traci: Hello, gloria. You look gorgeous.

Gloria: Thank you. So do you.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashley: We are so thrilled that this incredible woman has put a smile back on your handsome face, jackie.

Traci: And anyone who makes our brother happy makes us happy.

Jack: Gloria deserves all the credit. She has given me a whole new appreciation for life. I am just grateful that she was willing to take me back.

Gloria: Oh, believe me, jack, it has been my pleasure. Um, if you’ll excuse me for just one minute.

Phyllis: Look at you. Some fairy godmother you turned out to be.

Gloria: Oh, darling, I am much too young to be any kind of mother to you.

Phyllis: Golden glo, wow. Look at that. More like golden ghoul.

Gloria: Ooh, name-calling now. Listen, it’s not my fault that jack is with me. This is your subconscious, which can only mean one thing.

Phyllis: I can’t wait to hear this.

Gloria: You’re intimidated by me because deep down, you think, you know I’m the one who holds the keys to jack’s heart.

Phyllis: That’s crazy.

Gloria: [ Laughs ] Just like the way you sound. We are inside your head, and i am so relieved I don’t have to live here full-time.

Phyllis: You know, this whole dream, everything, it’s like a mash-up of irrational incidents.

Gloria: Mm.

Phyllis: It’s like the abbotts having thanksgiving dinner at society instead of their home, and then jack being in love with you — seriously? — And his sisters supporting it, as if.

Gloria: Guess what — it seems to be happening right before your eyes.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I’m putting a stop to that. Okay, hi, all. I think there’s been a mistake. There’s been a mistake, but I am here. When you’re talking about the great love of jack’s life returning, you’re clearly talking about me and not gloria. I’ll just sit right there.

All: No!

Ashley: There’s no room at this table for you.

Phyllis: Traci, you want me here, right? You’re the good one. You’re the kind one.

Traci: Oh, wish I could offer you a seat, but it’s really not my place.

Jack: Maybe we could find room for her. It is thanksgiving.

Ashley: That’s exactly why she shouldn’t be here. Have you forgotten how many times this woman has broken your heart?

Traci: You know, she did cheat on you with your very own brother, and not very long ago.

Phyllis: But that was a mistake. We all make mistakes, right? I mean, come on. You’d rather have gloria with jack than me? Come on.

Ashley: Oh, yes.

Traci: I’d have to agree.

Phyllis: I don’t know what’s happening. My dream was going so well, and now everything changed.

Traci: Well, phyllis, everything does change. You know, life goes on whether you like it or not. You’re either driving the train or you’re a passenger on your own journey.

Ashley: I am so excited about this meal. Isn’t it fun to break with family tradition once in a while? And I got a peek at the dressing and the cranberry sauce. It looks so delicious!

Jack: I’m gonna dig right in once gloria gets back. Listen, while she’s gone, I have a question to ask. I am considering asking her to come back to jabot. What do you think?

Ashley: [ Gasps ] I love that.

Traci: Oh, she always had a very good business sense.

Phyllis: She does not. She’s a fraud, she’s a liar, and she steals. She’s a grifter.

Jack: Wine, anyone?

Ashley: Oh, it’s a day of celebration.

Traci: Yes, please.

Jack: Traci?

Traci: Yes.

Jack: Here we are.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Billy.

Billy: Phyllis, hi.

Phyllis: Hi. I thought you were going home to lily. What are you doing here?

Billy: I’m not sure. It’s your dream.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, you’re probably here to annoy me.

Billy: Yeah, I can do that.

Phyllis: It’s working.

Billy: Look, now that you are here and I am here, maybe this is a good time to apologize for the way I screwed things up between you and jack.

Phyllis: We don’t have to talk about that.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I know it’s one of the many reasons that you don’t like me. But the truth is, we’re not all that different. And we do good things when we work together. Like when we exposed sally and tara locke.

Phyllis: Yeah, that was good. It was good. We work together well when our interests dovetail. Just we’re not gonna rehash anything. We wouldn’t want to hurt jack like that.

Billy: No, not my favorite thing to discuss either.

Phyllis: You know, it’s so weird. It was all going so well, this dream, until I saw the abbotts. And then it just all fell apart. I don’t know why.

Billy: Maybe it’s your guilt busting through your subconscious.

Phyllis: I don’t feel guilty.

Billy: Yet you exiled yourself from thanksgiving because you think you deserve to be alone.

Phyllis: No, I mean, I was working.

Billy: And not spending time with summer and daniel? Come on, phyllis. I know how much your kids matter to you.

Phyllis: My kids live far away now.

Billy: And they’re doing great, which is hard for you because you are a fighter, and fighting for your kids is second nature. Do you mind if I make an observation? I know you miss nick and everything you had. But it’s obvious that you’re missing jack. That’s why you’re here.

Phyllis: [ Gasps ] Really? My head isn’t on straight. Jack is in spain with ashley.

Billy: Jack is in spain fighting for abby because, like you, when it comes to family, he’s all in. And when it comes to love, he’s relentless. And that includes you.

Phyllis: Jack is amazing.

Billy: And you’re not?

Phyllis: I didn’t say that.

Billy: Phyllis, you deserve love. Whether you admit it or not.

Phyllis: [ Crying ]

[]

Phyllis: You know, billy, you’re hardly the — the expert on relationships. You couldn’t wait to toss me aside when I slept with nick.

Billy: I think that all worked out the way it was meant to be. I’m with lily now, and we fit. And maybe things with us had to blow up. With victoria, too, maybe. Because here I am, and it’s where I belong. And I have to say, I think jack brings out the best in you.

Phyllis: You do?

Billy: Yeah. Yeah, you’re more honest with him. You’re less defensive. You don’t lash out as much. And I think you trust his advice because you don’t question his agenda. And I think you like who you are with him. That is, until the guilt gets in there and ruins things.

Phyllis: The guilt? Okay, so if I chose to get jack back, I mean, what would I do? I mean, how would I go about this?

Billy: If?

Phyllis: Yeah, if. I mean, I don’t know what to do. I mean, I don’t want to ruin things. I don’t want to blow things up.

Billy: If I were you, i would —

Gloria: Time’s up.

Phyllis: Oh! No! No, finish what you were saying, please, please. What are you doing here? I’m in the middle of a conversation.

Gloria: Sleeping beauty has to get back to the castle.

Phyllis: Please tell me what you were gonna say. Please. Don’t you have a meal to attend with the abbotts?

Gloria: [ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Oh.

Gloria: Ah-ah-ah-ah. I’m not going back inside, and neither are you, phyllis. Time to go.

Gloria: [ Exhales sharply ] Well…

Phyllis: We have to go back to society. I have to talk to billy.

Gloria: [ Groans ] No can do.

Phyllis: I need to talk to billy. He was about to give me the answers, what I should do next with my life.

Gloria: [ Laughs ] Billy? You choose very odd confidants.

Phyllis: Yes, I do, don’t I? Because I chose you.

Gloria: But I am the best choice you’ve made so far, because I will give you the truth because I have a deep well of experience and wisdom to draw upon.

Phyllis: No, I chose you because I must hate myself. I must love torture.

Gloria: Now, why do you think billy has the answers you’re looking for?

Phyllis: Because I think that billy and I are similar. And I think we’re both reckless and wild and…and he’s figured it out and I haven’T. And he’s figured out how he can still be a screw-up but be with the person he loves.

Gloria: Aww. I grant you, that is a talent.

Phyllis: Please, can we go back, gloria? Please? Please? Please, he was about to give met he secret to my happiness. Please.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: What?

[ Exhales sharply ] Gloria. Gloria, what fresh hell is this? And — oh! Hey! Hey, thomas. I didn’t order anything.

Thomas: Well, somebody did. Dinner with all the trimmings.

Phyllis: Alright. Bring it in. I’m not one to push away food.

[ Laughs ] Hey, um, do you happen to know who did this?

Thomas: Sorry, I do not.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Wasn’t sure I was gonna find you here? But I’m glad you’re home. Look, lily, I know that we could both use a little time to decompress from all this, but we don’t have it. Victor didn’t get back to me, and we need to figure out a way forward.

Lily: Oh. So now you want to work together? Funny you didn’t feel that way before.

Billy: I know you’re upset that I went and offered to step down without discussing it with you.

Lily: Yeah, you knew how i was gonna feel about it, and so you didn’t talk to me about it first.

Billy: Yeah, part of that is true. Because you would’ve tried to talk me out of it, and you probably would’ve succeeded. And believe me, the last thing i ever wanted to do was show up at victor’s house, humiliated, with my tail between my legs.

Lily: Well, then why did you?

Billy: To protect you. And chanccomm.

Lily: So, do you really think that’s how this is gonna play out? Or, actually, maybe you do. Maybe, in your mind, there’s a way for you to make a graceful exit and have everything still turn out all right.

Victoria: Billy really offered to step down from his co-ceo position? I mean, even if it stopped the attacks on chanccomm, I can’t imagine that he would agree to do this.

Ashland: Oh, he’s falling on his sword, taking full responsibility for his reckless publication about my past.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] But I just don’t know what to make of it. This would be the last thing that billy would do. Chanccomm was so important to him. Do you — do you think that lily pushed him to make this move?

Ashland: No, I sincerely doubt it. I ran into her earlier, and i told her that she’d be wise to cut billy loose, and I don’t think she took too kindly to that suggestion. But, uh, that was before, I’m sure, that she knew what billy had done. She probably knows by now, though.

Victoria: I wonder how my father and adam reacted to billy waving the white flag.

Ashland: The word “gleeful” comes to mind.

Victoria: Yes. So, that’s it, then. Mission accomplished?

Ashland: Well… pretty sure that’s what, uh… what — what billy thinks, uh, and victor and adam’s plan is to let him go on believing just that. Uh, they’re waiting for him to let his guard down, and, uh…

Victoria: Ashland, are you okay?

Ashland: Yeah, uh…

Victoria: What’s the matter? What is it?

Ashland: Uh…oof.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Elena: See? No worries. Just a little heat rash. Nothing serious.

Devon: Yeah? The nanny said the same thing, but I just wanted to double-check and make for sure.

Elena: Well, I will write down the name of an ointment you can pick up at the pharmacy. It’s over-the-counter. So it should clear up in a day or two.

Devon: That’d be perfect. That’d be perfect. Thank you so much for coming by. I appreciate it.

Elena: Yeah, of course. I’m glad you called. And just got off work, so it was no problem at all.

Elena: Mm, good. You hear that, buddy? Doctor says you’re gonna be just fine. I’m gonna get you some ointment and clear up that rash. You’ll be good to go.

[ Chuckles ] What?

Elena: It’s just… it’s nice to see you like this.

Ashland: Oh, thank you, sweetheart, but, truly, there’s no cause for alarm here.

Victoria: Are you sure you’re okay?

Ashland: Mm. You know, the effects of the initial treatments that i received in peru were — were a little rough, but the doctors told me to expect that. In fact, it’s probably good news, and it’s just a sign that the medication is doing its job.

Victoria: Maybe I should take you home.

Ashland: No, no, no, no, stop, stop. Stop, really. I’m feeling much better already. So, where were we? Um — oh, yes. We were talking about billy having to swallow that very bitter pill.

Victoria: Well, you really are enjoying this, aren’t you?

Ashland: Well, not as much as you might think. Uh, don’t get me wrong — I’m not feeling bad for the man, either. He tried to sabotage our wedding. Those are the actions of a small and — and spiteful person who deserves everything that’s coming to him. I mean, a year ago, even six months ago, I would’ve taken such satisfaction in grinding him into dust.

Victoria: So what is the difference now?

Ashland: I have higher priorities. I’m focused on getting stronger and improving my health so that I can spend as much time with you as possible. So, I will let adam and — and victor handle billy so they can have their fun torturing him.

Victoria: Actually, I think that would be a very big mistake.

Ashland: Really? I thought…you had let go of that.

Victoria: Let go of what?

Ashland: Well, your old urge to protect your ex, to save billy from himself.

Victoria: No. This actually has nothing to do with saving billy. It’s about what’s best for newman/locke.

Don’t stop me, don’t stop me

Billy: Look, lily, this might not be as dire as we think. Victor respects you, and with me out of the picture, he might not be as obsessed about coming after chanccomm.

Lily: Of course he will. If he can get our assets at a bargain price, it’s a huge win for them. Adam already told me that’s his goal. So you cutting and running isn’t gonna make things better, it’s gonna make things worse.

Billy: Okay. For the record, I did not cut and run, i sacrificed myself for the greater good of the company, trying to get him to hold his fire.

Lily: What is that gonna do? I mean, what more can they do to us? They basically got our employees to release the article, they’ve ruined our reputation, they got our one and only source to recant his story, which then allowed ashland to sue us. I mean, the damage is done.

Billy: Yeah, and I have a sick feeling that’s their opening moves.

Lily: Right. Well, we can’t focus on what

could happen. We have to deal with the current crisis. I mean, that’s how we got in this mess in the first place. You were so concerned with what victor and adam might do that you basically handed them the weapons to use against us.

Billy: You’re referring to the audio and video evidence adam gave rey, claiming that i threatened them?

Lily: It didn’t claim it, billy, it proved it. Okay? Look, I love you, and I know that you were just trying to protect me and chanccomm. But you’re so impulsive, and you don’t think about the consequences. And the consequences just keep snowballing.

Billy: Which is why it’s better if I just remove myself from the situation.

Lily: Yeah, but don’t you see how that could just make things look worse? It looks like an admission of guilt.

Billy: Then what do you suggest we do?

Lily: I suggest that we sit down with our lawyers and we weigh out all of the options and work together as a team. But I have to ask you, are you even capable of doing that?

Victoria: You know, I didn’t really want to get involved in this fight between my dad and billy in the first place. But now I realize that it gave adam an opening…to take advantage of the situation. And, boy, oh, boy, did he run with it.

Ashland: Well, you know, i don’t think you’re being entirely fair here. I mean, this plan has gotten me out from under a blackmail threat that has been plaguing me for decades.

Victoria: That’s true. And I’m grateful for that. I am. But the fact is, you are the one taking all the risks here, allowing that story about the fraudulent will to get out. And any leverage that they have against chanccomm is all due to your lawsuit.

Ashland: All true.

Victoria: So, if you were the one taking all the risks and you have all of the leverage, can somebody please tell me why — why, oh, why — is adam and newman media benefiting the most?

Ashland: Well, that’s a good point.

Victoria: Not to mention a big chunk of chanccomm consists of a division that i sold to them.

Ashland: I see where you’re going with this.

Victoria: You know, my father, he was never okay with me selling off this division to billy. I have to think that he would be a little bit disappointed if i didn’t try to get it back.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: My adorably brilliant wife. I really do love the way your mind works.

[ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Hi. Why’d you want to meet?

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ] To give you the best possible news. Adam called me into his office, and he wants to go ahead with the video project — with me hosting, like we discussed.

Chloe: That is so awesome.

Sally: I know. Right? And when I asked him about the budget, he said that we just need to write up a proposal. He acted like he wanted this, like, yesterday.

Chloe: That’s fantastic.

Sally: [ Breathes deeply ] I can’t believe this is happening.

Chloe: I can. Because it’s a phenomenal idea. This also means that we are gonna have to be putting in a lot of overtime to get this off the ground.

Sally: That is fine by me. Adam wants to capitalize on the buzz around victoria’s wedding dress, so we need to move fast.

Chloe: Well, your first video is gonna be crucial. I mean, we have to make sure that we get this formula just right.

Sally: Agreed.

Chloe: And I know that we already talked about you interviewing other designers, but…I mean, now that you yourself are on the map, I think that we should just showcase you. You know, your expertise, your — your insights.

Sally: Works for me. Especially now that I’ve given up any semblance of a personal life.

Chloe: What do you mean?

Sally: I’ve decided to take your advice. I’m officially backing off adam as a romantic option, and I have even told him as much. So you do not have to worry about that being a complication. I want my head 1,000% in this.

Chloe: I know what you’re doing, sally.

Devon: And I’m really enjoying getting to spend time with dominic these days.

Elena: Yeah, I can tell.

Devon: Thank you.

Elena: You know, I can’t help but think about when we first met. How devastated you were to have lost hilary and your child.

Devon: Yeah, it was a rough time.

Elena: I hope this doesn’t come out wrong… because I know they can’t be replaced by anyone else in your heart, but it seems like a lot of healing has taken place. You got this full life now with amanda and your brother and now this little guy.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, I know. You’re absolutely right that I’m in a much better place. And I remember everybody telling me that things would get better in time and not believing them in the moment, but they were right.

Elena: Who knew, huh?

Devon: And you know I’m always grateful to you… for helping me get through that grief. Now abby is going through the same thing, and I feel terrible because I know exactly the kind of pain she’s feeling.

Elena: Abby is lucky to have you help her. And she obviously knows that because she’s trusted you with this precious little guy.

Devon: And I’m glad that she did. I’m glad that I can help her out for as long as she needs. You know?

[ Keys rattling, door opens ] Hey.

Amanda: Hi, elena.

Devon: How you doing, honey? Mwah.

Amanda: Hey, is everything okay?

Elena: Yeah. Devon just asked me to pop in and check on dominic’s rash, and he’s doing just fine.

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Okay. Well, that’s a relief. I have news.

Devon: You do?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: Good news or bad news?

Amanda: I don’t know yet. The jury is ready to give their verdict in sutton’s trial. Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Amanda: Yeah, I-I know it’s short notice, but just get there as soon as you can, imani. I completely understand why naya doesn’t want to come. We will fill her in as soon as it’s over. Okay. Bye.

Devon: What do you mean she doesn’t want to come? Naya doesn’t want to hear the verdict?

Amanda: I think she’s — she’s just worried about the press, you know?

Devon: Yeah. Well, I told the nanny we were gonna be gone for a while, so I’m gonna grab my coat, then we can leave.

Amanda: Okay.

Devon: Okay?

Amanda: Devon, wait. Um… what if they let something go? You know how good of a liar he is. What if the jury believes him, and he walks out of that courtroom a free man?

Devon: Hey. First of all, stop thinking like that. Stay positive, okay? And if that happens, then you’ll simply find a new way to hold sutton accountable for what he’s done. That’s it. ‘Cause if I know anything about you, you don’t quit. The jury makes a mistake, yeah, that’ll be disappointing, but it’s not the end.

Amanda: Thank you. You always know exactly what i need to hear. I’m so happy you’re coming with me.

Devon: Oh, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. Let’s go.

Amanda: Okay.

Billy: Look, I understand that you feel like I —

[ Knock on door ] Well, what a surprise. Come in. What can I do for the two of you?

Ashland: What a lovely place you have here. It’s quite a shame that we all couldn’t have gotten together sooner — under more pleasant circumstances, of course.

Billy: Again, what do you want?

Ashland: You know, imagine how it could’ve been. Our blended family. And victoria and I truly wanted us all to get along, if only for the kids’ sake. But you had other ideas.

Lily: Why don’t you get to the point, ashland? We have more pressing issues to deal with, as you well know.

Billy: Actually, I’d like to hear from you, victoria. Tried to get ahold of you for a while.

Victoria: I really don’t know what more there is to say, billy. I texted you how disgusted I was that chanccomm ran that garbage article. You know, I sold you my media division, and you are continually using it as a weapon against my husband and me.

Billy: Well, we never agreed to release that article — we were hacked — but you know that.

Victoria: Yes, but you authorized writing it, didn’t you?

Billy: Okay. So… you’re either in on the scheme to set us up from the beginning, or you’ve somehow figured out a way to, uh, justify it. Either way, that’s ugly.

Ashland: Well, we heard about your rather interesting offer. Presumably, you think that by stepping down as co-ceo that you will be protecting lily and chanccomm. And maybe now you can understand my desire to protect my company and the woman that I love by keeping gaines’ accusations quiet.

Billy: Yeah, I understand.

Ashland: Is it possible that you’re feeling a little regret about your…thoughtless, reckless, callous behavior?

Billy: I’m sorry. Are you two here looking for an apology?

Ashland: No. We’re actually here to make you an offer.

Elena: Mariah, hey.

Mariah: Hi.

Elena: Good to see you.

Mariah: Great to see you. How’s the hospital going? I mean, I’m sure that’s where you’re coming from, given the scrubs.

Elena: Yep. Actually, I just made a pit stop to check in on dominic.

Mariah: What happened? Is everything okay?

Elena: No, he’s fine. Sorry. I didn’t mean to alarm you. Devon just had a small concern about a heat rash, but, honestly, I think he was just being a little overprotective. I see it all the time with first-time parents.

Mariah: Oh, yeah.

Elena: I totally meant that as a figure of speech. I know devon would never refer to himself as dominic’s parent.

Mariah: I mean, even if he did, who would blame him? Biologically, if not legally, he is the father, you know? And now, with chance being gone, I mean, I’m sure abby would be happy to have him step into that role into her son’s life. And don’t get me wrong — he would do a great job.

Elena: So, mariah, how are you doing?

Mariah: Me? Oh, I’m great, yeah. I-I’m doing really, really well. Plaque psoriasis, the tightness, stinging…

Mariah: I am finally on the road to recovery.

Elena: I’m so glad to hear that. It was such a traumatic experience.

Mariah: Yeah, I know, uh — I know everybody’s been really worried about me since the kidnapping. I — I just needed time to get over it all. Got to reacclimate myself. Get back to a normal life. And tessa’s been so supportive. I mean, she’s the best girlfriend anyone could ask for.

Elena: Have you gotten a chance to talk to anyone about all of this? Like, a counselor, maybe?

Mariah: Well, that’s the benefit of having a therapist as a mom. No appointments needed. It just gets thrown in with every conversation. Uh, anyway, I’m back to work again, you know, making up for lost time. And I’m finally feeling like my old self.

Sally: The only thing I’m doing is putting my love life on the back burner and doubling down on my work ethic. I need all of my energy for my career.

Chloe: Oh. You think you can feel me, but you can’T. You were just trying to reverse psychology adam into chasing you. And you think it’s gonna work, but it’s not. He’s way too smart for that.

Sally: I know he’s smart, and I’m not playing any games. Adam has drawn quite the line in the sand, and I want to respect his wishes.

Chloe: And what if he changes his mind?

Sally: Adam has made his feelings quite clear. He’s still trying to get over what happened in his past and figure out how to be the best possible father to his son, and as you have mentioned multiple times whenever chelsea returns, I would be courting disaster if I went anywhere near her ex, so I won’T.

Chloe: Okay. If you say so.

Sally: I’m not gonna jeopardize this opportunity by trying to force something in my personal life that was never meant to be. So, I’m sure with your leadership and with adam’s deep pockets, everything about newman fashion will be fabulous.

Billy: I find it very hard to believe that you’re here to do us any favors. After all, you aligned yourself with the newmans and gaines to set us up.

Ashland: You know, I’m not about to allow you to play the victim in all of this. I did what I had to do to defend myself, my wife, and my company from your relentless attacks.

Billy: I already promised you that I would not attack you personally, and I would never do anything to hurt the mother of my children. I used your personal information as leverage — information that we all know is true, by the way.

Ashland: You know, relying on your promises and your self-professed concern for victoria got us nowhere. Now, whether you want to admit it or not, your actions forced my hand. I mean, do you really think that this is how I wanted to spend the first few weeks of my marriage, dealing with this crap?

Billy: [ Scoffs ]

Ashland: Now that your retraction is out there, the situations have reversed itself. Huh? You are the ones now that are going to be defending your credibility and integrity.

Lily: We can handle anything that you or your partners throw at us.

Ashland: Not without my cooperation you won’T. Now, I know that billy had asked the newmans to convince me to withdraw my lawsuit. I mean, do you really think that they can be trusted to follow through on that? Well, then again, you were willing to trust gaines, and look where that got you.

Billy: So let me get this straight. You’re saying that you are going to turn on the newmans?

Victoria: I think that ashland is trying to point out that it was a waste of time going to my father when he is the only one that can cancel the lawsuit.

Ashland: Yeah, and just so that we’re clear here, I could choose to prolong this as long as I want, release those recordings of you making those ugly threats and keep them in everybody’s news feeds for as long as I like.

Lily: Yeah, we know what you’re capable of. But it sounds like you want to cut a deal, so why don’t you just get to the point and tell us what you’re after.

Ashland: Well, our strong preference is to come to a swift and a final resolution. In contrast, victor and adam are willing to watch you flail in the wind while chanccomm’s value plummets.

Billy: What’s your plan?

Ashland: Victoria and I have neither the time nor the desire to play those games, and we are actually here to make you and lily and, more precisely, jill a very lucrative offer.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Lucrative for whom?

Ashland: All parties involved. We would bring chanccomm into the newman/locke fold.

Billy: You’re offering to buy chanccomm.

Ashland: And we’d be happy to keep lily on as ceo. She would maintain full autonomy.

Lily: And billy?

Ashland: Out.

Billy: And you’re gonna go along with this? You agree to exploit the damage that victor and adam have done? Kick me out of the company?

Ashland: Oh, billy. Always slow to catch on. This is all victoria’s idea. Lash impact goes sky high.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victoria: Before you complain about this offer, I want you to remember how desperately i begged you to leave us alone. And for one moment, in italy, when you deleted that gaines video, I thought that you were actually gonna do the right thing. But you just couldn’t help yourself. You came after us the minute you got back.

Billy: That’s not what happened. I was trying to stop victor and adam from coming after our company.

Victoria: By doing something that would hurt me and my husband.

Billy: I told you that i never intended on releasing the information about ashland. And I don’t expect victor or adam or ashland to believe me… but I would hope that you would know that’s true.

Victoria: You see, that’s why I’m not willing to put that kind of power in your hands. You just can’t handle the responsibility. I am, however, willing to give lily a chance.

Lily: Why do you think that i would even want to work for you and ashland? I mean, I’ve seen for myself that ashland can be as ruthless as victor and adam.

Ashland: Well, if you’re worried about me, then that’s easily resolved. For one thing, I won’t be taking an active position in managing the company. I’m focused on my health.

Victoria: We promised you complete autonomy, and ashland and I, we are people of our word. Also, you might consider the fact that, since newman/locke have merged, we own some media properties that could potentially be folded into your division.

Ashland: You could end up running a company that’s larger and more influential than just chanccomm. I’m, quite frankly, excited to see what you would do with an opportunity like this.

Victoria: Yes, and if that doesn’t inspire and motivate your career ambitions, think about what’s best for billy.

Lily: How is pushing him out of a company that he’s so passionate about best for him?

Victoria: Running it into the ground isn’t in either of your best interests. Neither is standing by and watching it being taken over by adam, of all people.

Lily: Oh, my god.

[ Chuckles ] Even now you’re trying to protect billy.

Victoria: All I’ll say is that I can’t stand the idea of adam besting either of us, especially after what he’s done to our family. But most importantly, I want a quick and peaceful resolution to this lawsuit, because it’s what’s best for the children.

Billy: You’re worried about the children? Then why go along with this lawsuit in the first place, knowing that we were hacked?

Victoria: I’m sure that you need some time to talk over your decision, even though your choices are limited.

Ashland: We’ll be in touch.

[ Door closes ]

Imani: Where’s devon? Isn’t he joining us?

Amanda: Yeah, he needed to take care of a few things at home. Thank you. Um… I’m glad, because I wanted to speak with you privately. I wanted to know how you’re feeling about the verdict.

Imani: Uh… I wanted my grandfather brought to justice, and now he’s a convicted felon. I should be thrilled.

Amanda: But?

Imani: Now that it’s happened, I’m having a hard time processing this whole thing. It doesn’t seem real. I grew up idolizing him. He was the center of my whole world.

[ Sighs ] I guess you’re in the mood to celebrate, though.

Amanda: I understand that this is hard for you. You have a very long, complicated history with sutton. He’s the grandfather that you have known and loved your entire life. But he’s someone very different for me.

Imani: I know. And I’m not trying to bring you down or tell you to have sympathy for him.

Amanda: Good, because he is the man that excluded me and my twin sister from the family. He robbed me of my chance of ever knowing my father. So what is hard for me is… trying to feel sorry that he’s finally getting what he deserved.

Imani: This needed to happen, and once I’m over the shock, I’ll be just as happy about it as you are.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: Okay.

Imani: What kind of sentence do you think he’ll get?

Amanda: I don’t want to speculate on that. You know, what I’m more interested in knowing is what’s next for our family. You know, I know that we are going into practice together, but what’s next for naya?

Imani: She’s considering moving to genoa city.

Amanda: What?

Imani: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: That — that’s amazing. I would love that.

Imani: Really? You want her in our faces, attempting to micromanage every aspect of our lives?

Amanda: I’ve never experienced anything like this before, so I’m sure that it will drive me crazy at some point, but, right now — I don’t know — that kind of sounds wonderful.

[ Both laugh ]

Imani: Okay. Wait till she starts nagging you about having kids. She’s eager to be a grandmother.

Amanda: Well, there is a baby at my place right now, if she wants a baby fix. We have a lot of catching up to do.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: You’re a thirsty little guy, huh? There it is. Where’d you go? Where’d you go? Peek-a-boo!

[ Laughs ] There he is. What? Where’d I go? Hey! There you go. A-boo-boo-boo-boo! A-boo-boo! Give me a smile. Give me a smile. There you go. That’s the one right there, man. We’re gonna send that to your grandma and your grandpa. Maybe they’ve heard from your mama. No, we probably want to push the release to maximize the song’s chances of charting, don’t you think?

[ Baby fusses ] Okay. Okay. It’s okay. We’ll do some more walking. You’re the boss, buddy. It’s okay. Oh. Shh.

Billy: Well, it looks like, to me, that newman/locke and newman media are in a tug-of-war. And chanccomm is the rope.

Lily: Look, I don’t know how much stock we can take in their offer. I just — I can’t imagine victoria wanting to upset her dad right now. Is this a trick?

Billy: I mean, what else do they have to gain, besides acquiring a great company?

Lily: I mean, who knows? Maybe they want to drive a wedge between us. I mean, you saw how much they were buttering me up while also putting you down.

Billy: Lily, everything they said is true. And I… I genuinely believe that they meant what they said about you. ‘Cause who doesn’t admire you? I sure as hell do. Look what you’ve accomplished. And I know you’re upset that i went to victor and offered to step down, but I hope that you know that is only because i believe in you so much. And without my baggage, you can not only revive our company, but it’ll thrive with you in command — I know it.

Lily: Billy, I know that your intentions were good, but did you really think that victor would get ashland to withdraw the lawsuit? That was never gonna happen.

Billy: What are you saying? Are you thinking of giving up?

Lily: I mean, look, we — we can’t even discuss that, okay? I-it’s not up to us, it’s up to jill. But what really matters to me is that how we are. You know? You can’t make unilateral decisions on things that we should be deciding together.

Billy: Look, I can walk away from the company. I really don’t care if my pride takes a hit. But I couldn’t stand it if things change between us personally. Are we okay?

Lily: [ Breathes deeply ] Yeah, of course. What matters to me is that we’re good.

Ashland: You know, you’ve been…quiet since we left, sweetheart. What has you worried?

Victoria: Well, you know, i just can’t stop thinking about johnny and katie and how this situation might impact them. Whatever we do, we’ve got to protect them from the fallout.

Ashland: Well, of course we do. And — and we will.

Victoria: You know, maybe this is a good time to send them to boarding school. Just temporarily, until the end of the school year.

Ashland: You know, I know that isn’t a decision you would make lightly.

Victoria: It’s just that everyone who deals with billy has to expect dramatic highs and devastating lows. This failure, this public humiliation, it’s just — I know that billy’s gonna go off the rails again, and I don’t want the kids to witness it.

Ashland: No, it wouldn’t be easy for you, either, would it?

If you have this…

Victoria: But we agree my concern is purely about the kids. I have no intention of — of rushing to save billy.

Ashland: Not even a little bit?

Victoria: You know, whatever lily might think, I’ve learned the hard way that there’s no upside to it. And he only resents it when i try. The last time that billy was in this position and his life was falling apart, he beat himself up about it, and… the kids were scared, and they were confused. So, I — I just find that my instinct is telling me that i need to protect them from it the best that I can.

Ashland: And where does that leave billy?

Victoria: In the long run, I’m sure he’ll be fine. It might actually be the best thing for him. And jill, she’ll come — she’ll come through for him. She always does.

Ashland: Hmm. Well, he sure is fortunate to have such a supportive mother.

Victoria: Yes. And then, hopefully, when the dust settles, she’ll find him a position that he cannot use as a weapon.

Ashland: Hmm. Well, whatever it is that you decide… I’m sure you know that I will support it 100%, and there might be an advantage to having the kids out of the house should my condition worsen.

Victoria: I was thinking the same thing. And, really, I mean, there are a lot of positives to the kids doing something new like this. They’ll have opportunity to gain some independence.

Ashland: You’ve sold me on the idea of it, but what are the chances that billy will buy into it? I mean, he’s gonna be unemployed soon with nothing but time on his hands, and he’ll probably want to spend a lot of that with his kids.

Victoria: You let me manage billy.

Lily: Hey, jill. It’s — uh, it’s lily. Uh, can you call me when you get a chance? I just, uh…need to discuss the situation at chanccomm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Part of this is missing due to news interruption; we’ll have it up soon.

portia: Curtis. Portia: Curtis.

[ Singsong voice ] Curtis?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, hey. I, um, I — what are you doing here? I thought I locked the door. No. Nope, it’s open.

[ Chuckles ] Are you okay? Um, y-yeah, I-I-I — sorry, I just didn’t hear you come in. I could see that. You looked like you were a million miles away.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I didn’t hear back, which isn’t like you, so I decided to come by and check. Oh, my god. That’s right. I got — I got your text. I just… had so much going on. I’m sorry. What — what’s up? Well, um, dinner, for one.

[ Chuckles ] Are you still coming? When? Today. It’s thanksgiving. Ah, right. Curtis, are you okay?

[ Sighs ] Uh, hey, rocco, danny, check out the gophers float. He’s wearing his hat sideways like you guys do when you’re up at bat. That’s funny. I like baseball, too. That’s right, sweetie. You tell the boys you can hit and field. My — my bad, scout. My sincerest apologies, honey. Accepted.

[ Chuckles ] This is sweet. How come we’ve never watched the wyndham’s thanksgiving parade up here before? Well, probably ’cause we’ve never, um…

[ Clears throat ] …Been invited before. Play your cards right. You’ll get invited again. That’s cool. Well, I’m happy you guys came. It can get boring at the parades. Hey, l ook, it’s santa! Oh, look, yeah! Hi, santa. So, um… I guess I really do have to, uh, lock down that other invite. I think I can arrange that.

That was awesome. Good. Take your coats off. Who’s ready for some treats? Where are the treats? Uh, you know, we’ll get that sorted out, but right now, I got a movie, uh, ready to go upstairs. “Christina comes home for christmas.” Ugh. Come on. Danny, come on. You’re being rude. Dad, that movie’s ancient. Well, yeah, darn right, it is. That’s the whole point. It’s that good, old-fashioned christmas magic, man. I want to see it. That’s my girl. Go upstairs, and I’ll get you some snacks ready.

[ Sighs ] Oh, you saved my butt. They don’t want to watch that movie, but you got all these snacks and treats, so that’s good. I know. I got some tricks up my sleeve. Yeah. I have, um, cookies, muffins… mm-hmm? …Doughnuts, and cupcakes from kelly’S. And what about coffee? And hot chocolate. Mm. Do you think the kids are getting along? Yeah, I mean — I-I mean, I know rocco misses charlotte and, uh, the holidays are always tough without his mom, but… man, he’s happy. He seems really happy with — with scout and danny. Danny and scout miss jason and drew. Well, they’ll at least get to see, you know, their families at the quartermaines’. There’s a holiday movie for ya.

[ Chuckling ] Right, yes. Maybe a horror, I think. Well, you can’t forget the sequel. Dessert at the davises’. Are you sure you’re up for it? Yeah, of course I am. Your mom and I, we’re good. We made peace. As long as you’re up for what that means, because the minute we show up at our families’ houses over the holidays with our kids, together? It’s a big deal. Yeah, kind of makes us official?Kind of — y-yeah. Yeah. Pretty obvious. I think I like that, though. Go easy on the coffee, dad. Might want to switch to decaf. You know how our family thanksgivings go around here. Not this year. Things are already looking up. Liv and I are finally on the same page. After leo’s disappearance last night at ava’s gallery, she came to realize that leo does need to see a specialist and that I was only acting in his best interest. There is a silver lining. Which doesn’t let you off the hook for letting him out of your eyesight or using austin’s genuine concern for leo against him. Dad, you know what that was about. Okay, I did it for the family. If you’re going to be mad at me for losing leo and sticking it to austin, then you can kiss your norman rockwell thanksgiving you’ve envisioned goodbye. It’s never been the q’s reality, and it’s not gonna start now. Okay. You can do this. “Hey! Happy thanksgiving, finn! Guess what? Uh, you’re an uncle.

[ Chuckles ] How about that? You got a surprise daughter. I have a surprise daughter.”

[ Sighs ] I so don’t got this. Dr. Robinson’s hosting a thanksgiving dinner. We’re all going to be there, me and molly. Nurse baldwin and her kids, me and my daughter, violet, my — my brother, chase. I mean, it’s — it’s a good group. I’m sure you’d be welcome. Come. No one should be alone on thanksgiving, and my uncle curtis and I will have the game on, as well, so… that’s very thoughtful of you. What, are you holding out for a better offer? Excuse me, austin. Can I talk to you for a sec? Thank you for your invitation. No. You can’t talk to me. I’m not talking to you or anybody else in your family ever again. I think losing my reputation as the quirkiest doctor at G.H. I wasn’t aware that was your reputation. Diplomacy will get you far, doctor. I look forward to working with you. See you at dinner. Alright. I am just trying to figure out what’s real and what isn’T. Are you talking about the club? Yesterday, you were wondering if the mob was blocking your musical guests and then arranging for that singer to just magically appear.

[ Chuckles ] Did you figure something out? Yes, but it wasn’t what I thought. No shadowy organizations. That might have actually been simpler. Simpler than what? You know what? I’m not ready to get into this right now. Is this about the man in the sketch, the one that was asking me and T.J. All those questions about you and the club? What’s going on? I wish I knew. Okay. Um, I can see that you don’t want to talk about it right now, so I’m not going to pry. If you change your mind, I’m certainly here to listen. And if you don’t feel like coming to dinner, I completely understand. I will miss you. I just hope you work through whatever’s going on. Portia, wait. You’re the only one I can talk to about this. Would you stay, please? Come here! I’ve got big news!

I told you I had something healthy. Try it. Are you kidding me? Look what’s in here.

[ Chuckles ] They’re not going to eat any of that. How much you want to bet? They’re gonna be bouncing off the walls by lunch. As long as they don’t break anything too precious at the quartermaines’, I think I’ll be okay. Well, you know what? The benefit of them spending all this time at the quartermaines’ is that everything of value has probably already been broken or moved. You know, monica does like having a full house. I’m kind of glad that we didn’t tell her that drew was alive, because we would only have to tell her that drew is presumed dead, and I think that would really…hurt her. Mm. Came close, though. It would have been the ultimate gift to bring drew home for the holidays, not only for monica, but for scout, as well. I just hope that jason makes it home in time for christmas, for danny’s sake. I think he and britt will make it back in time. But if not, you know, rocco and I will come and, uh, decorate your tree with you. But then you guys got to come help us decorate ours and then do things like ice skating, which I’ll teach you how to do that, too, if you want. Okay. I-I am totally down for that. Okay. That all sounds good. Good. Since, I mean, our little families are blending so well together. Yeah, like, uh — as my mother would say, like “buttah.” Mm. Okay, you’re gonna have to listen to what I have to say before I break my ankle walking in these stupid shoes. Hi. I was wrong about you, about your motives in insisting that I have my son see a specialist. I was in denial. And then the other night, something happened. Leo disappeared. And if you hadn’t given ned a heads up, and he hadn’t taken you seriously, I don’t think we would have found him in time. He was near water. He was. He was, and because ned did his homework, we knew to search for him on the docks. And then everything just fell into place. All the things that you were wondering about and ned was wondering about, it all made sense. And, um… I’m committed to getting my son all the support that he needs. Olivia, that’s great news. Well, it’s all because of you. And I am — I am truly sorry that I accused you of using my son to further your position at elq. I — I really hope you’ll forgive me. Now, why so defensive? Does this have anything to do with the fact that valentin and charlotte packed up and moved out last night? You know what? I should check on bailey. She was really fussy this morning. Stop. Stop right there. Now, initially, I admit, I was relieved to see them go. But after seeing yuri, I, uh — I noticed that he was particularly upset. So I questioned him. And he kept repeating the same phrase over and over about bailey in belarusian. So I entered that phrase into the translator, and it came out something about the “right seed.”

[ Sighs ] Now, I’ve been really impressed at how well you and valentin have co-parented your daughter. This whole family is. I mean, it’s really a sign of, you know, maturity on your part. So if you’ve hit a bump, it doesn’t mean it’s insurmountable. I mean, look at liv and me. Whatever’s going on, I want you to know that I’m here to help you if I can. You can’T. Valentin isn’t bailey’s father. Hey. I was hoping I’d find you here. Yeah, I just wanted to get caught up on some patient files. What about you? You working a case? Uh, no. No, I’m off today. What’s with the suit? You might be a little overdressed for football with T.J. And the boys. By the way, violet’s playing quarterback. She’s got the whole thing worked out.

[ Chuckles ] Look, about that. You’re still coming to dinner, right? Actually, no. Something’s come up. So, after i tracked down linc — the producer who was able to book that singer last-minute, right? Yeah. I found out he was working for someone else. The guy from the sketch? Oh, not organized crime. I honestly don’t know. But he came in here, and we talked. He was the one responsible for getting that artist here. Which is why he was so interested in asking questions about the savoy. But he was also interested in you, too. He was interested in both the club and me. Which is why he did you that huge favor? Apparently. But he also wanted a relationship.

[ Chuckling ] Why? Because he claimed he was my father. Oh, uh — I’m sorry, I thought you told me that your father passed when you were a child. That’s what I was told. That’s what I believed. And then this man, marshall — of course, that’s what he says his name is — comes in here, and he tells me otherwise. So, do you believe him? Hi, I’m debra. I’m from colorado. I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. I’m a mother of four– always busy. I was starting to feel a little foggy. Just didn’t feel like things were as sharp as I knew they once were. I heard about prevagen and then I started taking it about two years now. Started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. I feel like it’s kept me on my game. I’m able to remember things. I’d say give it a try.

that’s the last photohe took before he left. There’s a real resemblance between the man in this photo and the man who approached me and T.J. I showed him the sketch. And when I asked him why mom and aunt stella would let tommy and me believe that he was dead, he couldn’t give me a straight answer. He said that he stayed away because it wasn’t safe, whatever in the hell that means. You know, I got to admit, it brought up a lot of feelings that I didn’t know that I had about not having a father in my life. About how that pain and emptiness felt growing up, and I didn’t even realize it. About how his sudden disappearance all of a sudden made my life unpredictable, and I never processed that, much less talked about it until marshall was in here standing in front of me, telling me he was my father. You were only a child. You were 3 years old. You probably buried it. That’s exactly how trauma works. But it seems to me like you might actually believe it to be true. Well, you know what? It doesn’t matter, because, um, I don’t want a relationship with him either way. I told him that, and at least he had the decency to get the hell out of my life. Again. And, so, what? That’s just — that’s just the end of it? It better be. I’m wondering if that’s what you really want, or if you’re just trying to protect yourself. You were a detective. You were a cop. You have to have questions. Maybe there’s more to the story. Look, I hope you’re ready to be showered with approval, because my mother has been advocating for this for kind of a long time. Really? Yeah. I cannot believe I would actually get olivia’s approval. I’m — oh, yeah. You got it. You got it, big-time. Wow. That means a lot. I didn’t tell you. There was, uh — she kind of had a situation with leo last night. What happened? I-I mean, he’s okay, but I guess, uh — well, I guess they think he might be on the autism spectrum. Wow. I am —

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. Mm. I know how trying that can be. Right. Yes. Y-your other brother. You — you told me about that. Yeah. It — it wasn’t nearly the — the same thing, but it was… challenging. Mm-hmm. He had a genetic disorder that caused behavioral issues. He was a loving boy. He was so well-rounded and sweet and kind and… I loved him. I loved him so much. We should be together on thanksgiving, especially since dad and your mom can’t make it. And just to guilt you some more, violet will be very disappointed if you’re not there. I hate the thought of letting violet down. Maybe — maybe I can swing by after. After? After what? Like I said, something’s come up, something I can’t get out of. Well, if it’s not work, what’s so urgent? It’s personal. Like a date? No. Well, in a way — s-sort — sort of. Could you be any more vague? Okay. Alright. What’s the name of the lucky lady that’s got you turning your back on your family today? The mother of my child. What the hell are you talking about? Do I really need to spell it out for you? Okay. [ Sighs ] So you mean you were with more than one man around the same time? And you didn’t know who the father was? It’s a little more complicated than that, dad. I-I knew who the father was, but I decided not to be truthful about it, for reasons I’m sure you can guess.

[ Sighs, scoffs ] The elq shares. Yes. And you told valentin last night. Yes. Well, are you going to tell me who the father is, or does he not know yet? No, he knows. He’s really wonderful. Not that we have feelings for each other. It was more casual. But, um, we’re friends, which is good. And you actually kind of like him, definitely more than you like valentin. That’s not a high bar. So, who is it, brook lynn? Who is bailey’s father? It’s chase.

Wait, what? When? How? No, no, I know how. Um… who’s the mother? Do you remember when willow and I broke up? Uh-huh. Brook lynn was on the outs with the q’s, and she moved in for a while. It was then. Brook lynn? Brook lynn quartermaine? Tracy’s granddaughter? She’s the mother, and — and she just didn’t tell you? Well, it’s complicated, but… uh-huh. Yeah, I just found out. Mm-hmm. And — and brook lynn, she’s — she’s a great mom. Good. Good, a good mom makes all the difference. So she was just lying to valentin cassadine and lying to you. She was, but now the lie is over, and — and we’re sorting through things. Just like that? Uh — you’re not angry? Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was at first. At first, there were a lot of emotions, but then I realized it’s only been a few months. And for part of that time, I was living in the same house as bailey. I-I held her. I-I sang to her. Yeah. Yeah. Bailey. So, and brook lynn wants you to be part of bailey’s life? Absolutely. Mm. Are — are you and — and brook lynn, are you, um — no! No, no, no. No, that — j-just friends. Just that one time. One time, right. Right. I’m — I’m sorry. It’s just a lot — lot to take in. Congratulations, bro. You’re the father of a beautiful baby girl. I’m happy for you. Thanks. Thanks. And congrats to you. You’re an uncle. Yeah. Yeah. Violet’s been asking for a baby sister. I guess a baby cousin is the next best thing. I’ll bet. Hey, if you could do me a favor and not mention it to her or anyone else, especially mom and dad. Brook lynn hasn’t told her family yet, and the whole situation with valentin, it’s tricky. Yeah, of course. About that, watch your back with them, alright? Not only do you have to deal with valentin and all his nonsense, but the quartermaines and all that that brings. You sure you’re prepared? Detective chase is bailey’s father. He was here all this time, and you two never said a word about it. Chase didn’t know. You never told him? No. And he never even suspected? I told him valentin was the father. But you knew he wasn’T. You kept the truth from chase because you wanted to use your child to get the elq shares back. Brook lynn. Daddy, it was my fault we lost control of elq. I had to do something. They were just shares! You kept that child from her real father. Oh, this is a mess! And you know what? I have no one to blame but myself, because I put too much pressure on you. And now look where we are. Chase has lost time with his daughter, and valentin has lost the child that he thought was his. Both of these men’s lives have been completely upended. I’m so sorry, dad. Listen to me. You can’t blame yourself. Okay? I take responsibility. I — I truly did what I thought I had to do.

[ Sighs ] Well, at least I still have my beautiful granddaughter. That won’t change. Alright. So just tell me. How did valentin react to the news? He was devastated and very angry. Uh-huh. Then he’s bound to fight back. I’m very happy to hear that you’ve come around and that you’re there for leo, ’cause that little boy deserves the best chance he can possibly get to have a great life. I agree, and I’m committed to getting that for him. I just wish I hadn’t thought the worst of you. And I realize now how lucky we all were that you spotted this and that you came forward. No parent wants to hear that their child is not neurotypical. There’s a pediatric neurologist here in the hospital. Just so great, and I’d be happy to make you an introduction. No, no, I already — I already made the appointment online. I don’t want to waste any more time. Okay. That’s great. I’m glad to hear it. Okay, well, I would like to make it up to you. Uh, maybe you could join us all for — for thanksgiving. There’s going to be plenty food and — no. So you don’t forgive me. I will never forgive a family for denying my father when he was alive and then again denying him after his death, and I’m never going to forgive brook lynn for trying to sabotage my medical career when all I was trying to do was simply get leo the help that he needs. It sounds like you didn’t have an easy childhood. But everything you went through, you showed love and compassion for danny anyway. And that just goes to show what kind of person you are. Con with a heart? A strong, fierce, independent, beautiful woman…

[ Exhales slowly ] …Who can think on her feet better than anyone I’ve ever seen in my life, like when you slashed my tires to make sure I couldn’t follow you. You can chalk that one up to street smarts. Well, I’m, um… pretty grateful for your street smarts. Well, you want to know what I’m grateful for? What?

[ Sighs ] Your openness. Even though sonny is your father, you have managed to be able to be loyal to him and your job. Yeah, that isn’t easy. No doubt. But you still somehow make it work. When you go and — and run off, I know you’re not running off to start trouble. You’re running to stop it. That gives me peace. Yeah, peace. That’s what I — that’s what I call it, too. Then why is my heart beating so fast? I was going to ask you the same thing. The boys changed the movie. Marshall: Dr. Ashford? Dr. T.J.? You got a minute? Curtis: That man, if he’s my father, he changed the course of my family’s lives when he disappeared. My mother became an invalid. Aunt stella gave up the love of her life because of it, because we needed her. You know aunt stella taught me and tommy how to shave? And despite all that love and strength aimed at us, I still felt his loss, different than the other kids who — who mentioned their fathers, and some complained. And there’s always those kids who didn’t have a father that were part of a sad club. We were members of that club. I’m so sorry. And he allowed that to happen to his family. He stayed away for decades, and now he wants to — he wants to swoop back in like some conquering hero. He saves my nightclub for one night. What does he expect from me, that I’m gonna welcome him with open arms? “Gee, thanks, pop. Good to see you.” It’s not going to happen. I can see why you sent him away, and I hate that he brought up all of this for you. I hate that I was reminded of this, and I hate that it still eats away at me. Marshall did this to me, and I do not want him in my life. I wish he’d have never even come back, if he’s even my father. Have you checked him out yet? Yeah, I did a quick internet search. No marshall ashford matched his description. Well — well, we both know that you can dive deeper than just an internet search. Could. But you don’t want to.

I really don’t know what to do about marshall. I’ve been kind of, like… paralyzed since he dropped his big announcement, you know? My head’s been spinning with memories and realizations and, of course, questions. Well, have you reached out to your aunt stella? No, no, no, no. She’s still recuperating from her stroke. This is the kind of news that might be too much of a shock for her. But I will say this. Aunt stella would never lie about our father to tommy and me. Ever. So I just don’t want to risk upsetting her. That’s — that’s wise. That’s very wise. Okay, but what about T.J.? He approached T.J. Before. He could do it again. Yeah, yeah, I was thinking about that. I haven’t told T.J. Because i was sorting out my own thoughts, but, um, you’re right. We should give T.J. The heads up. I would hate for this marshall guy to catch him off-guard… …the way he did me. I remember you. You disappeared on me. How do you know my nickname? Well, let’s see. Isn’t that the abbreviation for — is it thomas junior? Uh, did you look me up or something? What’s going on here? Uh –are you ill? Are — I’m getting off my rotation, but I’ll make sure the attending sees you. I’m not sick. In fact, I didn’t need medical care the last time I came to see you. Then why’d you come? Why are you here now? Like I said, I came to see you. Look, I know

valentin is hurtand angry, and who wouldn’t be? As for the q’s, I guess I just have to face the music and get through it. What else can I do?

[ Chuckles ] Good luck with all that. It’s gonna be one hell of a thanksgiving dinner. But, you know, at least you get to spend the day with your baby girl. Can’t believe I’m saying those words. I mean it. You’re going to be an amazing father, bro. I see how you are with violet, who adores you. Thanks for the vote of confidence. Like I said, I’ve known bailey for a while now. I have a little head start. You must have felt a connection to her all along, you know, something deep inside. Yeah, now that you mention it… totally. And, hey. When you feel the time’s right, let’s get violet and her new cousin together, okay? It’s amazing. One more thing to be happy for today. Look, I-I got to get going. Right. Hey, um, you know, good luck with the quartermaines. Although I guess it’s brook lynn that did you wrong. Right. I guess it’s hard to be angry when you have that baby girl in your life. Yeah. Happy thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving. The whole family will be here today. I know. So? What are you going to tell them? There’s going to be a million questions. And what about the fact that chase had a thing for you and then married willow? And he never once suspected that he could be the father of bailey? Dad, if you remember, chase was nearly poisoned to death. He had bigger fish to fry. Are — dad, really, you cannot possibly blame this on chase. Oh, I can, and I do. It takes two to make a baby.

[ Sighs ] Maybe he — he didn’t know because he didn’t want to know. Maybe he was too busy chasing after willow to step up and be the father to that child, or too busy snooping around here doing austin’s bidding. You know, you say all these wonderful things about chase. Sorry. I’m not buying it.

Brook lynn honestly thought that you were using my son, and — and she was just trying to protect him, protect the family, that’s all. I said, I’m really glad that leo’s getting the help that he needs. That’s the only thing that’s important. I agree. But… austin, what’s done is done. Can you just let this thing with brook lynn — can you let it go? Yeah, I’ll try. Great. And… the offer still stands, if you change your mind. What’s with the long face? You know, sometimes the only way to turn a frown into a smile is the satisfaction of payback. Okay. I was going to try to convince you to join us, but perhaps alone in front of the television is the better alternative after all. Dad, you’re projecting your anger onto chase instead of me. Go ahead. Be mad at me. I’m used to it. I’m mad at both of you! What you did was reckless and thoughtless and selfish, and now you expect me to just sweep up the mess and act like nothing happened. Look, I know it’s thanksgiving, but don’t go all puritan on me. You’re not exactly a saint yourself. I’m not pretending to be, unlike your wonderful guy chase. For the last time, it’s not chase’s fault.

[ Doorbell rings ] Happy thanksgiving. I brought dessert. You are going through a lot right now. And I just want you to know that my home is open to you whenever you need me. I’ll be there. And if you change your mind about thanksgiving, I’ll be there with food.

[ Chuckles ] And a bunch of people who love and appreciate you. I can’t believe I tried to push you away. Talking to you is the best decision I could have made. I’m not sure if I will make it tonight. But I am sure that I am grateful for one portia robinson. I consider you among my blessings. Is there, uh, someplace we could talk privately? I’m not sure I want to do that. I don’t know who you are, and you were asking a lot of questions about me and my uncle. So whatever this is, I’m really not up for it. I’ve had a long night, and I have somewhere to be later. Listen, look, I don’t blame you for being suspicious of me.

[ Chuckles ] In fact, curtis was the same way. But if you could just — if you could just give me a few minutes, just a few, I promise I can explain. T.J., It would mean the world to me. You don’t worry about those two guys. I will handle rocco and danny. I promise you, you’re going to get to finish watching “christina comes home for christmas,” okay? Guarantee it. Let’s go. Come on. We’ll show them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

The beginning is missing due to news interruption; we’ll have it up soon.

Which means that we have to go to him. Brando, could you please get a wheelchair? I’m going to see our baby in the nicu. You can’t even sit up right now. I will do whatever it takes to be with my son. If he can’t come to me, then I will go to him. That’s not the problem. Sasha, in your current post-operative condition, you can’t visit the nicu right now. You need time to heal first. No. No, no. My baby needs his mother! Your baby needs his mother to be healthy and whole for what’s to come. Is that sasha’s room? Are she and brando in there? Give them a minute. They’re talking to sasha’s doctor. Sasha, I know it’s hard, but I strongly advise you to use this time to rest, gather your strength so when you’re cleared to visit your son, you’ll be prepared. “Prepared”? P-prepared for what, exactly? Hey. Thank you for calling me. How are sasha and the baby? Well, I asked at the nurses’ station. Sasha’s out of surgery, recovering in the icu. Oh, my god, I don’t understand. Last I heard, everything was fine. How did you hear that sasha and the baby had been rushed into surgery? It says in your chart your doctor wants you to spend one more night here for observation. I’m gonna take care of myself. I’m leaving, effective immediately. That would be an ill-advised decision, but, yes, it’s your choice. First, you’re gonna have to sign a form stating that you are leaving against medical advice. So give me the form. Fine. Wait here. Please don’t take too long. Valentin. Hi. Hi. Listen, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I have to get out of the quartermaine mansion, and I have to find the strength to hug my daughter for the last time. Don’t you think it’s a little sacrilegious to hatch a plot in a chapel? It’s a non-denominational chapel. What does that mean? We needed a place to talk away from valentin. Okay, I’m listening. It’s enough. Enough what? Enough off of your self-assured, nothing-bothers-you attitude. Okay? Do you have any idea what you’ve gotten yourself into by pretending to be bailey’s father? If the truth is found out, then you will have two enemies — valentin and peter. Hi, maxie. Can I call you right back? I’m in the middle of something. No. Peter just called me. He promised he was gonna see me soon. We have peter in custody. Are you sure they have him in custody? He’s in handcuffs, and he’s waiting to be transferred to port charles to stand trial. So you’re saying it’s really over? No, it’s not over yet. Let me know when you’re done examining drew. I need to make sure your stitches didn’t burst when you fell in the tunnel. I’m fine, britta, but you’re going to need to recite the abc’s backwards so I can rule out a concussion. Fine. Z, y, x, w, v — is that enough? For now. And you? Any other injuries you need to tell me about? Just what you saw.

[ Inhales sharply ] Mm. Last time you examined me was when peter wanted to make sure I was in tip-top shape to abduct maxie. Thankfully, that plan never materialized. Yeah. Maxie’s safe. But at what cost to jason? Like pulsing, electric shocks,sharp, stabbing pains, or an intense burning sensation. What is this nightmare? It’s how some people describe… shingles. A painful, blistering rash that could interrupt your life for weeks. Forget social events and weekend getaways. If you’ve had chickenpox, the virus that causes shingles is already inside of you. If you’re 50 years or older ask your doctor or pharmacist about shingles. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean? Downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters keep your laundry smelling fresh way longer than detergent alone. If you want laundry to smell fresh for weeks, make sure you have downy unstopables in-wash scent boosters. Hi. So you’re the scientist here. Does my aveeno daily moisturizer really make my dry skin healthier in one day? It’s true jen. This prebiotic oat formula moisturizes to help prevent dry skin. Impressive. Aveeno healthy. It’s our nature. New daily moisture for face. (Judge) it’s delightful. (Contestant 1) seriously? But it’s a total train-wreck. (Judge) it’s obvious that you’ve put a lot of work into it. (Buzz) she’s probably happy because she found out honey nut cheerios can help lower cholesterol. (Judge) does anyone want to go on a bike ride? You have always loved vicks vapors. And now you’ll really love new vicks’ vapostick. It goes on clear and dries quickly. No mess. Just the soothing vicks’ vapor for the whole family. Introducing new vicks vapostick. Ut liesl and britt?Have you seen them? Yeah, I-I’m here with them now. They’re — they’re fine.

[ Sighs ] Oh, thank god. I knew jason wouldn’t let anything happen to them. Thank you for bringing peter to justice. I owed it to you, maxie, and it’s long overdue. Will you thank jason and britt for me, too? When are you guys coming home? Well, the situation is — is kind of fluid right now. I’ll be able to have a longer conversation with you when I get back. This is all I-I wanted… maxie, was to keep you safe.

[ Sighs ] I don’t understand. Say goodbye to your daughter? Are you sending charlotte to boarding school? No, not charlotte. Wait. What’s going on with bailey? She’s not mine. What makes you say that? Brook lynn lied to me. You must be devastated. Brook lynn used bailey as a bargaining chip to get her elq shares back. Nothing more than an elaborate ruse to get back in her father’s good graces. Brook lynn actually said that? She said a lot of things, but… it was about elq. Plain and simple. Do you have any idea what you’ve signed up for? I wasn’t thinking long term. I was thinking on the fly. I had to. Okay. Well… until we know that peter is not a threat anymore, I mean, you’re gonna have to continue with his lie. You’re gonna have to tell everyone. Are you ready to tell your parents that they’re gonna be grandparents again? You’re gonna have to tell finn. And how about willow? It’s not the first time that you’ve had to tell a lie for the greater good. And the lie worked. It kept nelle from getting custody of wiley. Well, are you ready to tempt fate again?

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, it’s maxie. She’s freaking out about something. Look, I would not blame you if you don’t want to take this charade any further. You know what? Maybe we should just go back to valentin, tell the truth, beg him for his help. And then you don’t have to be a part of this charade and get in any deeper. Are you sure it’s about elq? Maybe there’s another reason. Like what? Like maybe you need to give brook lynn the benefit of the doubt, you know? Even — listen, even your biggest detractors have to admit that you are an amazing father to charlotte, and maybe the biological father isn’t a good guy. Could that be the reason that brook lynn lied to you? No. Why not? Because detective harrison chase is the real father. He told me, and brook lynn confirmed it. If there’s a problem with sasha and the baby, brando must be losing his mind. And you’re the only family he has in town, besides gladys, so of course brando reached out to you. Oh. Maxie… what’s the latest? Yeah. Is the baby okay? Which baby? Sasha and brando’s baby. Oh, right. Of course. Um, sorry, I just have a lot going on. Sasha had a baby boy. She needed an emergency c-section. She’s fine, but the baby is in the nicu.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Sorry. That’s all I know. Is it just me or did she seem all over the place? Well, I mean, I’m sure all this reminds her of the trauma that surrounded louise’s birth. You know what it reminds me of? Hmm? What we went through with — with donna. I’ll never forget. But like sasha, I had one advantage that maxie doesn’T. What’s that? A loving, supportive partner right by my side. Mrs. Corbin, you can go in. I know you’re family. Thank you, but I don’t — I don’t want to intrude. The doctor sounds so serious. That’s never good, right? Brando: Elizabeth, did you see our baby? Sasha: Yes. How is he? Well, he is currently intubated on a ventilator to assist with breathing. He also has an umbilical line to administer steroids and antibiotics. Well, what you’re describing, I mean, that’s standard procedure in the nicu, right? I mean, ’cause babies — you know, they’re born with underdeveloped lungs all the time that need help. In this case, it’s not a question of lung capacity. During the placental abruption, your son was deprived of oxygen. And in some babies, this can result in hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. What is that? It’s a condition that, depending on the severity, causes disabilities, brain damage, and, in some cases, death. Elizabeth: Those are worst-case scenarios. Yes. We don’t have all the answers yet. Dr. Fleming, the neonatologist, and the wonderful team in the nicu have started a very advanced treatment called hypothermia therapy, which cools the baby down and has been shown to give the brain an opportunity to slow brain-cell damage.

[ Crying ] You guys need to think positively. How can I think anything positive when my baby is hurting and it could be all my fault?

[ Crying continues ]

It’s my fault. I must have missed a sign or ignored a symptom. Sasha, you are not to blame. There is nothing you could have done to prevent what happened. Your placenta separated from your uterus, a completely involuntary medical condition. Yes, but I-I-I felt something, you know, a twinge or something. I definitely knew that I wasn’t comfortable, and I did not reach out to you. Sasha, hey, listen to the doctor. Okay? You could not know this was going to happen. I’m not gonna let you blame yourself. And most discomfort during pregnancy is harmless. Dr. Navarro: Nurse baldwin is correct. It’s possible what you felt earlier had nothing to do with the abruption. We need to focus on next steps — when the hypothermia treatment concludes. How long does that take?

[ Sighs ] It can take up to 72 hours.

[ Crying ] And once it’s done, dr. Fleming will order an eeg to determine brain function. You can visit the nicu now, and if you are stronger in the morning, I will authorize for you to be wheeled downstairs to see your son. I’ve got to go, but I will check in on you later. Thank you, doctor. Sasha…listen to me. I know, as moms, it’s very easy to blame ourselves, but you did everything right. You went to all your doctor’s appointments. You had consistent bloodwork done. You went on bed rest when dr. Navarro told you to. No one has a crystal ball. So all we can do now is wait? Wait…and pray. The excavation team have landed, and they’ve headed to the tunnels. -I want to help. -Me too. No, no, no, no. It is too cramped and dangerous for us to go down there. This is a highly trained team, and they are equipped with the latest technology. The best thing that we can do for jason is just to stay out of their way. Look, there’s gonna be a formal debriefing with the wsb, but before that happens, I need to know what the hell went on down in those tunnels. That hurensohn peter activated drew. While jason and drew were fighting, peter dragged britta and me into those unstable tunnels. And then he got lost in the process. What? Activated? What? You mean conditioning? Faison installed a shortcut. Peter used it. You know what he had you do? No. I got no idea. The first time was in crete, and — and I came to in my cell. I’d been grazed by a bullet, and I was bleeding. Oh, I think maybe you sustained your injury during an assassination attempt. How do you know? I was the target. I got your texts. Please tell me gladys did not — chase. Hi. Um, if you don’t mind, I’d like to speak to brook lynn in private. If this is about bailey, anything that you have to say to me, you can share with chase. He knows everything. Nina: Brook lynn told you that chase was bailey’s biological father? Yes.

[ Sighs ] Valentin… I am so sorry. I know how painful this is. I know you do, because you know what it’s like to love someone like a daughter and then learn you’ve been deceived because I’ve done that to you. And call it karma or poetic justice, but what I inflicted on you has been inflicted on me. And you’ve got every right to gloat. I’m just happy that, you know, donna has…has so much strength and is so healthy. We were so lucky. I really pray the same for brando and sasha that whatever comes their way, they can weather it together as a team. We did it. We did. Look, um, I know this is a weird time, but we didn’t get to finish our conversation earlier about nina. And there’s something I need to say. No one can deliver y

I wasn’t talking about your physical condition, britta. Not knowing if jason is dead or alive must be taking a toll on your emotions. Jason was only here because I asked him for help. If he dies, how do I live with that? The door to sasha’s room was open just enough so I could hear what the doctor told them. I want to be supportive to brando and sasha, but they may think I’m overstepping. I know I tend to do that. Okay. You know what, gladys? You’re — at least you’re here, right, and you’re thinking about them. You don’t need to be so kind given… everything. Hey. Family’s family. You did not fail our son. You took better care of yourself than any mother. You bought books to read to him, played music to your belly. The nursery you created at my space?

[ Laughs ] It’s so warm and cozy. It’s a total child’s wonderland. You were a wonderful mother already before our son was even born. I just feel so helpless. I want to hold our son so badly. I want him to know that his mother is there for him. I want to protect him. I want to — I want to comfort him. That’s my job. That’s our job. Brando, will you — will you do something for me? Anything. Go see our son.

Sasha, I want to see our son, okay? But I don’t want to leave you alone. I could text maxie or lucy and… I will be fine, but our son needs at least one of his parents to be with him right now. Please, brando. The best thing you can do for me right now is to do what I can’T. Go tell our son that I love him. Thank you for forgiving me. Hey, I was so caught up in my stuff, I haven’t seen you since you’ve been back. You okay? Oh, yeah, I’m good. I’m fortunate that my return to port charles wasn’t met with a group of people with pitchforks. I can’t imagine you doing anything to deserve that. Ha! If you ever want to talk about it… thank you. I might take you up on that. But tonight, it’s about sasha. She went into labor. She had a complication. She had to have surgery, and that’s all I know. Oh, my god, and I made this all about me. Go be with sasha. Yeah. I’ll send sasha and the baby good thoughts. Okay. Way to set an example. Taking the high road, you could do the same with brook lynn. At least I hope you’ll try. Was that fast enough for you? Brook lynn: First thing, we have to decide how we break the news to everyone. I should probably act like I’m mad at you for a while. Is that really necessary? If you kept my baby a secret from me in reality, I would be furious. So I still have to be the liar in this scenario? In all fairness, you are the one who faked a pregnancy. Okay, that’s true. Alright. So we will go with valentin’s theory that I always knew you were the father and that I pretended he was the father to get back my elq stock. People will believe that. Yeah, I know. Please know I am incredibly grateful to both of you for doing this. It means everything to me that I at least have some control over my child’s well-being, especially in light of everything going on with sasha. Wait, what happened with sasha? She went into labor, but there were some complications.

[ Sighs ] She was so excited the last time I saw her. Is she okay? She made it through the surgery, but I’m waiting for an update. This keeps everything in perspective. The most important thing is that we keep bailey safe from peter. We can do this. We can… and we will. Brando. I’ve been so worried about you and the baby. How you holding up? Kind of numb, actually. Sonny: Yeah? It’s important to sasha to go see our son. She — he’s downstairs now in the nicu. Then I want to come with you. Um, brando, when was the last time you had something to eat or drink? I don’t know. Then I’ll go to the cafeteria and get you something. Gladys, why don’t you come with me? Because you know all of his favorite things. Well… he needs to keep his strength up. Yeah. I’m sending all my love to your baby. Come on. How you feeling? Talk to me. I’m scared. Yeah? Well, that’s alright. You wouldn’t be a father if you weren’T. You just got to — you just got to get past all that. You got a brand-new son coming into the world. He’s gonna need his father and his love. What if I don’t know what to do? That’s alright. That’s just fear talking to you. Once you see that little boy, it’s gonna take care of everything. Your love. You got it. You got it. Thanks. Yeah. Hey, elizabeth, I’m here about — hi. I’m here about sasha gilmore. You know, I know that she gave birth, she had to have surgery. Are there any updates? You know I can’t provide confidential patient information, but I can tell you she’s recovering in the icu. Icu? It’s that bad? Well, how is sasha? What about the baby? How is the baby? Can sasha have visitors? Only family right now. Please. Elizabeth. Sasha and i were family once. Please. Let me see what I can do.

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ] Come on, brando. Let’s get you dressed so you can meet your son. How are you feeling? Are you in any pain? Nothing physical, but I suppose that’s because of the painkillers. Yeah. You know, if you ever want to talk, mom to mom, I’m just one call button away. Thank you, elizabeth. You have been so kind to me. Are you up for a visitor? She’s not family, but she really wants to see you and I can look the other way. Epiphany: I’m here to help. Do you have any questions? Brando: Is he in any pain? Not at all. He’s sedated. And that blanket that he’s wrapped in is a cooling blanket. That’s the hypothermia treatment? Exactly right. Will it hurt if I touch him? You won’t hurt him. Go ahead and touch him. Talk to him, let him know you’re here. Remember, if you’ve been talking to sasha’s stomach, your son is already familiar with your voice. Hello, son. I’m your dad. I’m here now.

Did the excavation team find jason? They managed to penetrate the tunnel using radar-based technology to search for heartbeats. What did they find? There was no signal. Nothing. Liesl: Maybe the equipment wasn’t sensitive enough — anna: They confirmed it with both audio and video devices. I’m really sorry. There’s no sign of life in the tunnel where you last saw jason. Now that we’ve all agreed on the best way forward, I’m gonna go see if I can get an update on sasha. Okay. Keep us posted, please. Of course.

[ Sighs deeply ] Well, baby daddy, I think it’s time we tell my family. Have fun with that. Oh, if you think I am telling the quartermaine clan myself, you got another thing coming. I can promise you one thing — this is gonna be one hell of a thanksgiving. Have you heard the news? About peter’s capture? I figured anna would reach out to you first. Actually, peter beat her to it. He used his one phone call on me, promised he’d be seeing me real soon. I hope you know anna will never let that happen. You know, I wish I could wake up from this nightmare unafraid, but peter’s been pretty relentless. I mean, so far, he just keeps escaping justice. Those days are over. Peter’s finally gonna pay the price for his actions. And maybe he’ll divulge some information about the fake nurse chloe and lead us to louise. By the way, whatever I can do to help, I will do because I now know there is no greater pain than having a child ripped away from you. Do you want to go see if sasha is ready for visitors? Oh, wait, why don’t we go sit down for a second? Come on. Come here. Uh…have a seat right over here. Elizabeth said it’s gonna be a little more time. And sasha is gonna get some rest. Okay. Alright. So, carly, why don’t you give gladys some pointers on how to be a grandmother? Now, you see, my — my — my grandson wiley, he adores carly, just like your grandson’s gonna adore you. He’s gonna think that you are irreplaceable. I don’t know if it’s — if it’s just in my head, but I keep hearing babies cry. How will I know his cry? I have a message from your mom. She already loves you more than anything. So do I.

tranquilizer, and the dose is very high on the label here.

Julie: Marlena prescribed those. She has drugged my husband into insensibility.

[Soft dramatic music]

Johnny: I mean, I’m sure my grandma is just doing whatever she thinks is best for doug, right?

Steve: Maybe.

Johnny: You keep saying things like that. Am I missing something?

Steve: I can’t exactly put my finger on it, and it’s not just about the situation with julie and doug. Marlena is not herself.

Johnny: Then who is she?

Steve: Are you sure you haven’t noticed anything odd about her recently? Strange behavior you couldn’t–you couldn’t explain.

Johnny: Not really. I guess it was kind of weird when I saw her at the crypt.

Steve: What crypt?

John: Doc.

Susan: Oh! Satan, mmm-mm, mm-mm. If you want to kill john black, you’re gonna have to do it over my dead body.

Demon marlena: Tempting, but I’ve got a higher purpose for you.

Susan: A higher purpose?

Demon marlena: Yeah. I’m not gonna kill john black.

Susan: Okay, you’re not.

Demon marlena: No. You are.

[Eerie music]

As a dj, I know all about customization.

Steve: So you saw marlena at the dimera family crypt?

Johnny: Yeah, and not only that, but she came out dressed like the devil.

Steve: She what?

Johnny: Yeah, it was halloween, you know. She was in that red devil costume, the one with the horns and the pitchfork. She said she was wearing it in support of my film.

Steve: Okay. But what was she doing there?

Johnny: She said she wanted to pay respects to my grandfather.

Steve: Stefano? She went to the crypt to visit stefano? Why?

Johnny: She said that he was the first one to realize she was possessed, and that he risked his life to save her.

Steve: Uh-huh. So did you go inside the crypt?

Johnny: Well, I wanted to go in and scout for my movie, but–

Steve: But what?

Johnny: She stopped me. Wouldn’t let me in.

Susan: I would never ever hurt a single silver hair on john black’s head.

[Whimpers] No, no, no, you know what? There is nothing you can say or do that will ever make me break the sixth or any of other commandments.

Demon marlena: How about this? How about, if you don’t take this dagger and kill john black, I will kill the other john black.

Susan: The other john black? Are you saying that he’s got a look-alike just like me and kristen dimera?

Demon marlena: Are you not aware that your grandson is writing a screenplay that will chronicle the last time that I possessed marlena?

Susan: It’s a terrible idea, if you ask me.

Demon marlena: And are you also not aware that the part of john black is being played by your son, ej?

Susan: Elvis junior?

Demon marlena: So if you don’t take this dagger and plunge it into john black’s heart, I will go over to where your precious son is having his thanksgiving supper, and in front of everybody sitting there, I will carve him like a thanksgiving turkey!

[Eerie music]

Julie : Whatever you say, he is not taking any more of marlena’s pills. He’s not going back to bayview. He’s staying here for good.

[Dramatic music]

Paulina: You accused me of loving lani more than I love you. That is not true.

Chanel: Your actions say otherwise.

Paulina: What, because i asked her to be my matron of honor?

Chanel: Yeah, that’s one reason.

Paulina: I never meant for that to happen. I was about to tell lani the truth when we got the news that abe had been shot.

Chanel: You were gonna tell her that you’re her mom?

Paulina: But then I saw her at the hospital with abe and how much she loved him. Oh, I just didn’t have the heart to tell her he wasn’t her real father. And then so, the next day when she pressed me about what I was about to say, I just–I just blurted out the first thing that popped into my head.

Chanel: That you wanted her to stand up for you at the wedding.

Paulina: Well, you’d think after lifetime of practice, that I’d be a better liar.

Chanel: Yeah, well what about the way you’ve always talked about her? Lani is so independent and smart and capable. She’s done everything on her own. She’s built a career and a marriage. It’s like you wished that I was more like her.

Paulina: Yes, it’s true. It’s true. I idealized your sister. But maybe because I never got to be her mother, not like I got to be yours. All those times that we shared, all those precious moments. Like that time when you were six. You had your tonsils out. You wanted ice cream, but you got it into your head that you wanted homemade dutch apple ice cream.

Chanel: I saw it on a tv show, and it looked so good. That’s why I taught myself how to bake.

Paulina: I watched you cut up those apples and mix it in with that cream and that sugar with your pretty little face that was just all swollen.

[Laughs] And then you put it in the freezer and–

Chanel: I fell asleep in your arms and woke there the next morning. You didn’t move me all night.

Paulina: I didn’t wanna wake you. Besides, what’s better than dutch apple ice cream for breakfast?

Chanel: Nothing.

Both: [Laugh]

Paulina: Baby, lani and I, we never had that.

Chanel: Well, you didn’t have the problems either. Oh, like that time when I was nine, and I stepped on that yellow jacket nest, and I hid in ms. O’hagen’s well.

Paulina: Oh. I didn’t know where you were for thirteen hours. I was terrified.

Chanel: I trashed my sunday best dress, and I figured that I was better off facing the bees than you.

Paulina: Oh, when I finally found you–

Chanel: Yeah, I– you didn’t say a word. You just held me so tight that I couldn’t breathe.

Paulina: That’s because you were the most precious thing in the world to me. Now, lani, she might be my firstborn daughter, but you, you always will be my baby. Always.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Chanel: And I’m sorry about abe. I know how much you love him. And I–and I know how excited you were to build a life together.

Paulina: What happened at the wedding–that was not on you. I know big mama–she believes that marlena broke my confidence and told you the truth.

Chanel: Dr. Evans did tell me, but she told me because she wanted me to feel better about you choosing lani as your matron of honor.

Paulina: And she encouraged you to reveal my secret at the wedding.

Chanel: No. No, she didn’T. She just told me go to the wedding and hold my peace. But…

Paulina: What? What is it, baby, what?

Chanel: When the wedding started, I kept looking at dr. Evans when she was standing up there with you and abe, and it was like this feeling came over me. A feeling that she wanted me to tell. And like, I–I couldn’t resist.

Susan: No, please, please. Don’t touch my son. All right. He’s just a good boy. I mean, he’s not perfect, but he does have a pure heart.

Demon marlena: If you say so.

Susan: Come on. Why are you doing this?

Demon marlena: Well, I am the devil.

Susan: I know that, but why are you doing this to me? To us?

Demon marlena: Because john black would not give in to the temptation of kristen.

Susan: Yeah. And he’ll have his soul corrupted.

Demon marlena: He couldn’t let go of his own sense of decency.

Susan: Because he is a decent man.

Demon marlena: Well, you see where that got him.

Susan: Well, it kept you from possessing dr. Marlena evans, fully.

Demon marlena: There is this annoying little voice inside of her that keeps her fighting me. But I know how to get inside her heart and break it. All I have to do is stop john’s heart from beating.

[Eerie music]

Belle: Do you think doug will come out of this?

Shawn: I don’t know. But I–I looked into his eyes when we were taking him home, and, you know, I think i saw a glimmer of my grandfather.

Belle: Which means he’s still in there, somewhere.

Shawn: Yeah. I think I saw something else: Fear. It’s like he’s scared. But what would he be scared of?

Belle: Or who?

[Tense music]

Demon marlena: It’s time, susan.

Susan: How–how–how–how can I?

Demon marlena: You can do this. Drive the dagger into his heart and watch the life just flow out of him. And when I come back, there’d better be another body here to bury, or your son will be joining his father.

[Suspenseful music]

Are you one of the millions of americans

Paulina: Let’s not waste any more time talking about marlena. It’s thanksgiving, baby. Oh, what do you say? We head into the kitchen and we whip us up a feast.

Chanel: Oh, I’m sorry, mama. I can’t stay.

Paulina: Well, I thought we were good.

Chanel: We are, sort of. But when I told johnny i didn’t wanna face you, he offered to fly me to italy.

Paulina: Italy.

Chanel: Mm-hmm.

Paulina: Well, you can–you can put the trip off, can’t you? I mean, right? I mean, we can just set a place for johnny and we can, you know, maybe make some dutch apple ice cream.

Chanel: Mama, I still need some time to process all of this. And I just– I hope you understand.

Paulina: Oh, honey, will you make it home in time for christmas? We’ve never been apart for christmas.

Chanel: I’ll do my best. All right, I gotta go pack a bag.

Paulina: Chanel?

Chanel: Yes, mama?

Paulina: I love you.

Chanel: I know.

Paulina: Hmm.

Julie: Kayla, may I?

Kayla: Of course, absolutely. There you go.

Julie: You know me, darling. I know you do. You’re my guy, and I’m your girl, always. I’ll be loving you, always. With a love that is true, always. It may not be fair, always. That’s when I’ll be there, always. Not just for just an hour, not for just a day, not for just a year, but always. You know that song. We sang it together. I know you know me, darling. Please come back. Please come back to me.

Shawn: Who do you think that my grandfather would be scared of?

Belle: It sounds crazy to even say it.

Shawn: What? No, go ahead, say it.

Belle: Well, my dad said that doug told him that it was my mom who tried to kill him, and that she was also the one that tried to kill julie.

Shawn: No, that’s like–

Belle: I know, I know. I thought doug was confused. I thought this was like part of his dementia.

Shawn: I mean, come on. You seriously don’t think that your mom tried to kill doug or julie, do you?

Steve: Why didn’t marlena want you to go inside the crypt?

Johnny: She said there was a rat inside. A big one.

Steve: A rat?

Johnny: Yeah.

Steve: Did she say anything about your grandpa john?

Johnny: No. Why?

Steve: Well, I’m just trying to track him down.

Johnny: Is he missing?

Steve: No, no, no. He’s probably on a case. I’m just filling in some blanks. Sorry for all the questions. I’ll let you go. Go ahead.

Johnny: Are you sure everything’s okay?

Steve: Yeah. Everything is fine. Happy thanksgiving, kid.

Johnny: You’re not coming in?

Steve: Not yet. Something I need to check out first.

Susan: How can I do this, lord? How can I kill an innocent man? A man who has led a life of decency and righteousness?

John: Susan.

Susan: You know, just give me a moment, john black! This is just not an easy choice! It’s not. I mean, oh, my god.

John: Susan?

Susan: What?

John: Susan?

Susan: What?

John: Please.

Susan: It’s life and death. Do you know that it’s life, death, life–

John: Listen to me, please. Just listen.

Susan: Okay, okay, okay. I’m gonna listen to you.

John: Susan, I know that–I know that you’re afraid for your son.

Susan: Yeah, elvis, elvis junior.

John: I know. I know. And I know also that the devil is going nowhere near ej.

[Eerie music]

Paulina: I’ve got a bone to pick with you. Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Marlena: Paulina, what a pleasant surprise.

Paulina: Nothing pleasant about it, lady.

Marlena: Oh. You’re upset, of course. Abe left you at the altar.

Paulina: Because of you.

Marlena: Me?

Paulina: You told my secret to chanel. Who the hell do you think you are, messing with my life, my family?

Marlena: She was just so upset. She felt that you were rejecting her.

Paulina: I didn’t reject her.

Marlena: Chanel felt like you didn’t value her. So I was just trying to explain to her why you had chosen lani to be your matron of honor.

Paulina: I told you my secret in confidence, and you felt the need to reveal it to my child.

Marlena: I didn’t mean to hurt anybody. I–why would I ever wanna hurt you or abe or anybody else for that matter?

Susan: How do you know that the devil isn’t going after my elvis? I mean, how do you know he isn’t sinking his cloven hooves into my little boy right now?

John: I have dealt with satan before, susan. His whole goal is to poison good, kind souls like yours. He just wants to force your hand so you will forever be branded as a murderer. Trust me, susan. Trust me, susan. Susan?

Susan: No, I know. I know. I know some of what you say is true, but you gotta understand that elvis is my only son.

John: I know.

Susan: And the thought of leaving him to the devil, that–it’s–it’s too much. It’s too much, john black. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. God, please forgive me. Please forgive me.

Paulina: You’re all smiles and sunshine now. Well, let’s see if this gets your attention. I’m filing a complaint with the state medical board. You’re going to lose your license and your job. Now, now, let’s see, let’s see if that cuts through to your little devil-may-care attitude.

Marlena: [Laughing] My devil-may-care attitude?

Paulina: You think this is funny?

Marlena: No, no. I don’T. I think it’s sad. I think you’re projecting.

Paulina: What the hell are you talking about?

Marlena: You wanna destroy my career the same way your daughter destroyed your wedding. There it is. And the fact is that abe’s never coming back to you. Lani is never coming back to you. And I’m not the liar, and the hypocrite. That would be you. So I’m sorry, but you’ll never have your family back, and you’ll never have abe back. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna check my voicemail.

Paulina: I’m not finished with you, you cold-hearted bitch!

Demon marlena: Who are you calling a bitch, bitch?

Start your day with crest 3d

white

[Knock at door]

Johnny: Hey. I–I got nervous when i didn’t hear from you.

Chanel: Everything good?

Johnny: Yeah, yeah. I talked to allie. She said that she would watch the bakery while we’re gone.

Chanel: And she wasn’t mad about me leaving like this?

Johnny: A little surprised, but she understood. She said to call her when we get to the airport.

Chanel: So we’re good to go.

Johnny: Did you tell your mother that you’re bailing on thanksgiving?

Chanel: I did.

Johnny: Was it awful?

Chanel: Not nearly as awful as I dreamed. I was expecting the worst. When my mom is upset, she can unleash holy hell.

Demon marlena: Might be a good idea for you to let go of my arm.

Paulina: Who–what are you?

Demon marlena: Get out of here. Go!

Paulina: Go, go…

[Cell phone rings]

[Disquieting music]

Marlena: Hello, honey.

Belle: Mom, I need to talk to you.

Marlena: Okay. About what?

Belle: I’ve petitioned the court on julie’s behalf to restore her right to make decisions for her husband.

Marlena: Nobody notified me about this. As doug’s doctor, I will–i will contact the court.

Belle: The judge ruled in julie’s favor, mom. You’re no longer in charge of doug’s care.

Marlena: Okay. If julie is allowed to be alone with doug at bayview, well, could be very dangerous for her.

Belle: She’s not at bayview. She’s at home. And so is doug.

Marlena: What?

Julie: Is there a chance this condition is–is permanent?

Kayla: It’s hard for me to get a clear picture of his current mental status. We’re gonna have to wait until the medication wears off.

Julie: How long will it take to wear off?

Kayla: Maybe 24 hours. But at least he’s home.

Julie: Home, for the holidays.

Kayla: Thank god for that.

[Melancholy music]

Julie: It’s gonna be all right, sweetheart. It’s thanksgiving, and we have so much to be grateful for.

[Intriguing music]

Kayla: Hey, steve, it’s me. Uh, doug is home. It’s a long story, but… I think I’m gonna stay here for thanksgiving. I’ll text roman and kate and let them know we are not gonna make it to the pub. And then hopefully you’ll be able to join me here as soon as you can. I–I know you are out looking for answers about marlena. I sure hope you find them.

[Suspenseful music]

Susan: Oh. Oh, no, it’s the devil. The devil has returned for his due. John black, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Johnny: Well, I’m glad your mom took responsibility for her lie instead of putting it all on you.

Chanel: Yeah, I gotta admit, I wasn’t expecting that. I’ve never seen her so guilty and heartbroken.

Johnny: Chanel, the family jet is waiting on the runway, but you just made peace with your mom. Are you sure you don’t wanna stick around here and do thanksgiving with your family?

Chanel: Gio, are you trying to get out of showing me italy?

Johnny: No, tesoro mio. But your mom–

Chanel: I want to see italia.

Johnny: All right then. Shall we?

[Gentle music]

[Anxious music]

[Line trilling]

Paulina: Yes, officer, this is paulina price, and I would like to report… to tell you the god’s honest truth, I don’t know what the hell I just saw.

Shawn: There you go, grandpa.

Julie: The head of the table, where you belong.

Shawn: So what did your mom say?

Belle: Oh, she hung up on me.

Shawn: She what?

Belle: She wasn’t thrilled about doug’s release.

Kayla: Well, I left a message for steve. Hopefully, he will join us.

Julie: Before we begin, I have a thought. Thanksgiving. It’s meant to be a celebration of gratitude. But this thanksgiving is not what anybody would’ve wanted or expected. Yet still, it is a time to pause and to consider how much we have to be thankful for. This wonderful old home. Seated at this table are a few of our dear family, treasured friend. Shawn douglass, our grandson, his wonderful wife, belle, our dear, dear friend, kayla. You and so many more are the people that we share our life with, the people we’re blessed to love, to be loved by. We are grateful for each other. Most of all, I’m thankful for you, my darling. In our long marriage, you have always been the one to be the optimist, the one who always had to remind me our glass is half full. Though you’re silent today– I know, when I get talking, I never let anyone get a word in edgewise. I want you to know, I feel your optimism. And though these last months have been so very dark, now that you are home, that darkness is fading away. Your goodness, doug, your loving spirit, your enduring joy and light, lifts us all, lifts us into the light. You’re the center of my universe, darling. I’ll move heaven and earth to get you well. So happy thanksgiving, my darling husband, and happy thanksgiving to us all.

Belle/shawn/kayla: Happy thanksgiving. Cheers.

Marlena: Happy thanksgiving.

[Disquieting music]

Julie: What are you doing here?

Marlena: I’ve come to wish you all a happy thanksgiving and to take doug back to bayview.

Julie: The hell you will.

Marlena: I think it’s for the best.

Julie: I don’t care what you think. You put my husband in a padded room. You locked him in. You–you gave him such powerful drugs, he doesn’t even know who I am anymore.

Marlena: For his own good.

Julie: You’re not his doctor anymore, marlena. Tell her. Tell her, belle.

Belle: I tried to tell her on the phone.

Julie: You are no longer welcome in this house, marlena.

Marlena: Doug is still a danger to himself and others.Li kayla knows that.

Kayla: I’m not sure i agree with that anymore.

Marlena: You’re not sure you agree? It’s clear that julie has let her emotions take over her judgment.

Julie: Don’t talk to me about judgment, or I will show you what a danger to others really looks like.

Marlena: That would be a mistake.

Doug: You, you, you, you’re, you’re–

Marlena: You’re confused. You’re lost. I can help you.

Shawn: Look, let him– let him speak, marlena.

Belle: Mom, please.

Julie: Darling, what is it you’re trying to say?

Doug: You–you’re the devil!

Kayla: All you had to do was not fall.

Steve: Sweetness, are you talking to a pie?

Kayla: [Laughs] Well, I got distracted for a second, and I left it in too long. And I’m so glad you’re back. Tell me that you found john.

Steve: No, and I don’t think I was meant to.

Kayla: What do you mean?

Steve: I’m pretty sure somebody sent me on a wild goe chase.

Kayla: Who would do that?

[Knocking on door] Sorry.

Marlena: Oh, hello. Hello, thanksgiving. Oh, it is my favorite holiday of all time.

Belle: Julie?

Julie: Oh, darling. Look at this smile on doug’s face. How he loves thanksgiving. You know, every year we’d be doing the dishes after dinner and he’d say, “what is more fun? What is more fun than all your family and friends gathered around the table stuffing themselves into a stupor?”

[Laughter] Yeah. And now it’s thanksgiving, and he’s all alone… on thanksgiving.

Belle: Oh, julie. I’m so sorry.

Julie: Oh, darling, you’re hardly to blame. You took my case against your own mother. I’ve put you in a horrible position.

Belle: Oh no, I’m just– I just wanna settle this.

Julie: Is there any news? There is. And it’s not good.

Allie: Hey, I thought I was meeting you two at the apartment.

Tripp: Well, henry had other ideas.

Allie: Oh, you did, did you?

Tripp: Yes, he wanted to show you this asap. Happy thanksgiving, mommy.

Allie: [Small laugh] Ohh…

Paulina: Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Chanel: Hey, I was just gonna grab some clothes and leave.

Paulina: Hmm. Well, I can see why it makes sense why you don’t wanna face me. That you’re scared of me. See, you not only ruined my wedding day, ruined my life, princess… not just hurt me, but think about what you did to abe, to lani.

Chanel: I’m sorry.

Paulina: So you think you can just sashay in here and pack up all the expensive clothes, jewelry, and shoes that I bought you and just breeze out?

Chanel: No, I–

Paulina: Well, it’s not gonna happen you ungrateful little bitch.

Chanel: Mama!

Paulina: Mama? Mama? Don’t you dare call me that. I am no longer your mother. And thanks to you, I have nothing. Thanks to you, lani hates me. So I don’t have any daughters anymore.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Chanel: You can’t mean that.

Paulina: The hell I don’T. Thanks to you I’ve lost lani forever. Thank to you–to you…

[Groans]

Chanel: Mama!

Johnny: Hey, hey.

Chanel: Oh, god, where–wha– oh, god, johnny.

Johnny: I’m right here.

Chanel: Oh, johnny, thank god.

[Chanel breathing hard]

Johnny: When you, uh…when you woke up you said, “mama.” Were you, uh…were you dreaming about her?

Chanel: Johnny, I-it was so real. I was there in her apartment and–

Johnny: Tell me. Tell me. What happened?

Chanel: I killed her.

Paulina: [Sighs] Ohh… paulina, paulina, paulina. Ooh! You sure made a hot mess of it this time.

Olivia: Well, you got that one right.

Belle: It’s not bad news, julie, it’s just frustrating. So I filed the motion to rescind my mom’s medical power of attorney. And if the judge rules in our favor, then you’ll be able to make all the decisions for doug’s care, and you’ll be able to see him. And my mom won’t have anything to say about it.

Julie: When does that happen?

Belle: Well, that’s the frustrating part. I didn’t hear back from the judge yesterday, and today is the beginning of a long holiday weekend.

Julie: So I do not get to see him today or anytime soon.

Steve: Careful. Straight out of the microwave.

Marlena: Fine. Thanks. Lovely. Oh, what a darling pie. Just for the two of you?

Kayla: Well, unfortunately, joey and stephanie can’t come home, but, uh, later on–

Marlena: Oh. That’s a shame. I mean, thanksgiving really is all about family, isn’t it?

Kayla: Well, we will be with family. We’re going to go with roman and kate at the pub. They’re making a thanksgiving dinner. And then we’ll video chat with the kids afterwards.

Marlena: Well, I guess that’s something. The pub. Yeah. Maybe I’ll stop by myself after all my holiday calls.

Steve: Oh, is that why you’re here? Holiday call?

Marlena: No, no. I’m here to apologize. I just haven’t been myself lately. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Allie: You know, I am no art critic, but I think that that’s pretty magnificent.

Tripp: Early picasso springs to mind, yeah.

Allie: Well, one thing is for certain–he did not get his artistic ability from me. So that must be from… forget I said that.

Tripp: Why?

Allie: Why? Because it’s thanksgiving, and we are going to have a wonderful day, and we don’t need to be thinking about him.

Tripp: Allie? Hey, you say whatever you wanna say whenever you want. Okay?

Allie: Yeah, but I don’t want to talk about him.

Tripp: But you did, and it’s probably a good thing. You don’t have to pretend like the past didn’t happen. Just hold on to the fact that he is dead and buried and can never hurt you again.

Allie: Tripp, halloween. I mean, we can’t be sure of that.

Tripp: Actually, we can.

Allie: What’s that supposed to mean?

Tripp: Well, rafe was worried–I mean, we and ava all thought we saw him that night. So rafe, you know, ordered charlie’s grave to be exhumed.

Allie: And?

Tripp: He’s there. Absolutely undisturbed.

Allie: Then who or what did we see that night?

Marlena: Look, I know you both have been leaving me lots of messages, and I’m– I know I haven’t gotten back to you.

Kayla: Well, just we were–we were worried about you.

Marlena: Well, of course you were. And you must have felt like I was–oh, what’s that word the kids use now? Ghosting you.

Steve: Now, obviously we know you’re a busy woman.

Marlena: I’m so busy with my practice and of course officiating at abe’s wedding. Well, abe’s not wedding I guess.

Kayla: What do you mean?

Marlena: Oh, dear. I guess you haven’t heard. It was–it was–it was terrible. I mean, even by salem standards.

Steve: How so? What happened?

Marlena: Well, you know, uh, paulina’s daughter, the little baker–what is her name?

Kayla: Chanel.

Marlena: Chanel. Well, chanel stood up in front of everybody as the ceremony was getting underway, and announced that…that paulina was lani’s mother. And that abe wasn’t even the father.

Kayla: What?

Marlena: I know, I know, it was so disturbing and it was–well, you can imagine how everybody felt. I mean, of course paulina knew and of course, I mean, of course god knew. But…it was just devastating for abe and for lani.

Kayla: They must have been devastated.

Marlena: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, after all that time, the lies and the deception that must have been going on.

Kayla: So tamara was most likely in on the deception.

Marlena: Of course, of course she was completely involved. And…I’m sure it just made abe feel, well, foolish a-and like a chump.

Steve: Yeah, marlena. It’s not hard to figure out how abe’s feeling.

Marlena: Well, but the thing is just to be there with it all going on, you know, it was one thing to hear about it. But, oh, he was so devastated. I haven’t seen him that upset since–well, since he lost lexie.

Steve: I’m gonna give him a call.

Marlena: Oh, you’re such a good friend. Well, I should be going.

Kayla: Oh, you know, marlena, I was going to call you about doug.

Marlena: Why? Has he taken a turn for the worst?

Kayla: Well, no, not medically. But he’s still despondent. And julie’s a mess. And I just thought maybe you could let the two of them see each other today. You know, it’s thanksgiving.

Marlena: Look, I-I know how strong you feel about this, but I just don’t think it’s a very good idea.

Kayla: Well, I strongly disagree with you. It’s at bayview. They will take all the precautions. And, I mean, what is the harm in a supervised visit?

Marlena: I know how much you care about doug and julie. I do too. They’re like family to me.

Kayla: Well, that’s why I thought that, you know, you would change your mind.

Marlena: Well, I-I– I couldn’t bear it if doug attacked julie again on my watch. I just–I-I couldn’t do that. I’m sorry that I can’t help here.

Steve: Well, maybe you can help me then… to find your husband.

Chanel: And then she had a heart attack right in front of me and…died.

Johnny: You know what we have in common? We both have these larger than life moms, right? And not only are they flamboyant and attention grabbing, but they don’t think twice before switching a paternity test or pulling down the town square.

Chanel: I know, but–

Johnny: No, but we do one thing to cross them and we feel like we’ve killed them. And they don’t even have to be there. It’s like they have this guilt remote control.

Chanel: You never seem guilty.

Johnny: Yeah, neither do you. It all, uh… crops up in our dreams.

Chanel: But I don’t think that she’s making me guilty. I did a pretty crappy thing. A very crappy thing.

Johnny: I-I-I think that you felt that your back was against the wall. There were all these lies. Her lies. She just kept pushing on. Focusing on what she wanted. She pushed too hard and you snapped, that’s all.

Chanel: It’s weird how much–how much you get it.

Johnny: And my mother, uh, she left town and can’t be bothered to tell any of us where she’s at. I somehow think that’s my fault.

Chanel: It’d be a lot easier if we didn’t love them, wouldn’t it?

Johnny: A lot easier, but– and I really believe this– we have to lead our own lives. Not feel guilty about it.

Chanel: I wish it was just us. That we could just stay here forever, and I wouldn’t have to face my mom… face abe. Lani.

Johnny: Well, I don’t know about forever, but we could have one hell of a nice day. You see, your boyfriend lives in a mansion with a full staff at his beck and call 24/7. I could have harold bring us breakfast, lunch, and dinner in bed if you want.

Chanel: That sounds like heaven.

Johnny: Hey, speaking of heaven, I was there last night. And I would love to go back.

Olivia: Have you heard from chanel?

Paulina: No. Would you like some coffee?

Olivia: Have you heard from abe or lani?

Paulina: No. I take it you’re not interested in coffee.

Olivia: Not until we sort out this mess you made.

Paulina: Yeah, mess. With a big assist from chanel.

Olivia: You know how I feel about blame shifting.

Paulina: Oh, believe me. I know how you feel about every topic under the sun.

Olivia: Watch your tone with me.

Paulina: And you know what I really know in minute detail is how you felt–how you feel about me coming to salem. I think your exact words were, “bringing my fast behind to salem.” Uh-huh. So go ahead, mama. This is your big “I told you so” moment. Enjoy it.

Olivia: I’m not enjoying one second of this, and you know it.

Paulina: Yeah. Yeah, I know. I just wanted to see lani again. When I heard my baby was having a baby, well, I had to be here.

Olivia: And how did that work out for you?

Paulina: I don’t wanna hear this.

Olivia: Well, that’s too damn bad, because I’m the only one left who can talk some sense into you. And this time you are going to listen. On the outside, I looked fine.

Paulina: When you get like that, it’s just best to just sit down and get it over with.

Olivia: Why couldn’t you have just left well enough alone?

Paulina: For who? Because watching my daughter grow up without me, well, that’s well enough for you and tammy, but not to me.

Olivia: We all agreed.

Paulina: Agreed? We didn’t agree. I submitted. I caved. H-have you ever tried standing up to you with tammy as a backup? Mama, I was pregnant. I was scared. And I know you and tammy, you helped me clean up my big mess. And here I go again, making another big mess and just pushing myself into lani’s life. And now I’m starting to fool around with a man she thought was her daddy.

Olivia: Yeah, that’s what I was gonna say.

Paulina: But you know what, mama, it happened. You know why it happened? Because I followed my heart.

Olivia: Well, baby, your heart needs a gps. So it’s time for you to stop following it and start using your head.

Allie: You really think we need a spreadsheet?

Tripp: I mean, it’s a logistical nightmare. Okay, my mom and rafe want us at their place for dinner. Your father and grandparents went us at the brady pub. My dad and kayla will also be at the pub, but they’re also wanting to have something at their place.

Allie: Talk about a movable feast.

Tripp: Well, at least now we have a clear picture of all of our options. Just how the hell are we gonna make a decision?

Allie: You know what? I have an idea.

Tripp: Come here. Come here, big man.

Allie: Be right back.

Tripp: Well, one thing, man. I think you’re gonna get plenty enough to eat.

Marlena: You know, the only thing john told me before he left town was that he was, uh, he was going on a mission for black patch.

Steve: Well, that’s not true. John hasn’t checked in with me, and he’s not following any of our usual protocols.

Marlena: Hmm. I bet I know what happened. I bet he’s on a mission for the isa and just used black patch as a coverup.

Kayla: Well, that’s what steve thought, so he checked in with shane and–

Steve: And he told me that not only is john not doing any freelance work for them, he’s gone completely off the grid.

Marlena: Hmm. Well, wouldn’t be the first time.

Kayla: And that doesn’t bother you? You don’t think that’s out of character that john would be gone at thanksgiving and not let you know that he’s okay?

Steve: Are you sure you don’t have any idea where he could be?

Shawn: You and granddad are gonna get through this. I mean, come on, look at everything that you’ve been through already.

Julie: We’ve been through everything together. We’re not together now. What if he hasn’t been told that I’m not allowed to see him? What if he thinks I don’t care?

Shawn: Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? He would root for st. Louis before he’d think that you didn’t care.

Belle: Well, it looks like we won’t have to worry about that. Somehow we got a compassionate judge, and he said the case was heartbreaking, so he didn’t wanna wait until monday to rule. So you officially have medical power of attorney.

Shawn: What?

Julie: Does that mean–

Belle: It means you can see him today.

Julie: Oh! Oh, you dear beautiful belle. Oh, god bless you.

The snapshot app from

progressive rewards you

Chanel: You were right. This is a wonderful idea. Staying in bed all day. Making love. Ordering room service.

[Both chuckling]

Johnny: I have a better idea.

Chanel: And what is that?

Johnny: You and I leave salem together.

Paulina: So it’s all right for tamara to follow her heart and be a singer, and I needed to be the logical one?

Olivia: There you go living in the past. This is not about your rivalry with tamara.

Paulina: Oh, yes, it is. That’s what it’s always been about. I grew up in her shadow with you thinking that she, the end-all and the be-all, I was always wrong. She was always right. And then when I finally, finally get something that’s mine, all mine, you– you decided that she would be the better mother.

Olivia: Paulina, it was to protect you and the baby. There was no other way.

Paulina: Yeah. Well you see how your way went, don’t you? You see what happened. I ended up losing both my babies. But I always got you. Don’t lie. You, I got you. But you just kick me when I’m down. Well, I never been more down in my entire life. And my mama, she can’t even gimme a little hug. She just wants to give me a lecture.

Olivia: Oh, baby. You know, you may think tamara was my favorite. But from the second you were born, you had my heart in your hand. Come here, baby. Mama loves you.

[Paulina sniffles]

Julie: All of doug’s favorite show tunes are on this. The only man in the world who finds “76 trombones” soothing.

[Laughter] Oh, should I bring his puzzle books?

Belle: Oh, julie, I don’t think he’s gonna care what’s in that bag when he sees you.

Julie: I suppose not. Do I look all right?

Shawn: You look gorgeous.

Julie: I feel so nervous. This is like I suddenly have this big date.

Belle: Oh, but it is. You’re going on a date with your prince charming.

Julie: He is prince charming, darling. You don’t know. He always will be, in spite of all the years. Oh, lord.

Shawn: Oh, what?

Belle: What?

Julie: The turkey. The turkey has to be basted. I have the cranberries, and the sweet potatoes are ready, but I can’t make the gravy yet.

Shawn: Wait, hold on. Wait. You made thanksgiving dinner?

Julie: Well, of course, it’s doug’s favorite. Well, not to make it would seem like I’d given up hope.

Belle: Oh, well, I could tell something smelled wonderful. Listen, shawn is gonna take you down to see doug. And I’ll tend to dinner, and make sure everything’s ready when you get back so you can tell us everything about your visit.

Julie: You angels. Okay. As doug would say, let’s get the show on the road.

Belle: Bye.

Marlena: Oh, no, I have no idea where john is.

Kayla: And that doesn’t bother you?

Marlena: Doesn’t bother me? Of course it bothers me. It terrifies me. But these kind of things happen with john, and when they do, I just have to go on autopilot.

Steve: So you don’t even want to try to track him down?

Marlena: Well, no. I mean, to track him down, that would be so disrespectful. It would show a lack of trust.

Kayla: How? I don’t get it.

Marlena: What’s not to get? John is off doing his job, a-and when it’s over, he’ll come back to me.

Steve: So let me get this straight. You’re not interested in finding him?

Marlena: Of course–look… if I could do anything I would. But at times like this, we just have to trust in a higher power.

Steve: A higher power? Okay.

Marlena: Yeah. Well, I’ll be off. Oh, and I hope you have a very, very happy thanksgiving.

Kayla: Thank you. You too. Do you buy any of that?

Steve: Not a word. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Kayla: I have decided that I am gonna go see julie and tell her in person that I could make no headway with marlena.

Steve: Marlena is just not making any sense these days, baby. I mean, she wants a higher power to find john, and she thinks it’s better for doug to be alone on thanksgiving?

Kayla: I just couldn’t get through to her to see how julie feels.

[Groans] Ugghhh! I’ll see you at the pub.

Steve: I think I’m gonna head over there early, ask roman if he’s been talking to marlena. See if he knows why she’s so–i don’t even know what to call it.

Kayla: Well, certainly not warm and fuzzy. I mean, really. To keep doug and julie apart. To keep doug isolated. That is cruel and unusual punishment as far as I’m concerned. All right, see you over there.

Steve: [Softly] Okay.

Tripp: Oh, what’s that?

Allie: This is our excuse to visit everyone tonight. We are on dessert duty. Cookie patrol. I have lemon drops for my dad, grandma kate, and grandpa roman. And then snickerdoodles for aunt kayla and your dad, and the devil’s food for grandma marlena.

Tripp: All right, henry. It’s over the river and through the woods time, big man. Ah, yes. Uh…what about johnny?

Allie: I’m sure he’s at the dimeras with chanel. Let them eat cake.

Chanel: I can’t just leave salem. What about the bakery?

Johnny: Allie can handle it while we’re gone.

Chanel: Okay, I get you’re twins and everything, but you can’t speak for her. And I can’t just be all, “girl, bye. I’m going to italy with your brother. You do my work for me. You hear?”

Johnny: All right. Look, you just leave allie to me. Think about it, chanel. Gondola rides on the venice canal.

Chanel: But it’s december. It’ll be freezing.

Johnny: I’ll keep you warm. Or we could go skiing in turin, or get a house on the amalfi coast. Don’t you wanna see where I grew up, where my ancestors came from?

Chanel: You never give up, do you?

Johnny: No. So what do you say? Let’s just run away.

Paulina: Where you going with that fancy hat on?

Olivia: Lani invited me for thanksgiving.

Paulina: What?

Olivia: She said eli’s coming to pick me up. I wait outside.

Paulina: So I’m ostracized. I’m in siberia, and you-you get to have a place of honor at the table?

[Scoffing] I mean, you lied too. It was your idea to come up with the lie, and you kept it going all these years. You know, what about tammy? Maybe she could fly in for a turkey leg or two. Juggle my grandkids on her knee.

Olivia: Paulina, I’m just as surprised as you are that lani invited me. But she did. Maybe you should reach out to chanel.

Paulina: After what she did?

Olivia: Yes, after what she did. I’m sure she’s hurt too. And she’s still your baby.

Paulina: [Sighs, groans] Uhh. You know, last night I was lying in bed, looking up at the ceiling, and I was thinking about it over and over. And how did she know? How could chanel possibly know?

Olivia: It was that woman.

Paulina: What woman?

Olivia: That marlena evans woman, the shrink. Mark my words. It was her. To be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer

Paulina: Marlena’s a doctor. And she doesn’t break confidences. And she’s tammy’s friend.

Olivia: Something in that woman’s spirit didn’t sit right with me.

Paulina: You and your spirits. Can you gimme something a little more concrete?

Olivia: Yeah. How about the smug look on her face when chanel stood up and blew our family into smithereens? It was like she knew already that you were lani’s mother.

Paulina: There are two secrets. Abe is not lani’s father, and tammy is not her mother.

Marlena: How can that be? Tamara raised her.

Paulina: Yes, she did. But I gave birth to her. I am lani’s mother. She did.

Olivia: How?

Paulina: I told her.

Olivia: Good lord. Paulina, why would you do that?

Paulina: Well, I told you, she’s a doctor, a psychiatrist. She’s bound by doctor/patient confidentiality.

Olivia: Well, baby dr. Feelbad busted right out of those confidential bonds and put all your business on the street.

[Beep beep] I gotta go. But you trust me on this. That marlena woman is no damn good.

Chanel: So if we take off to italy, what’s gonna happen to your movie?

Johnny: I’ll work on the script while we’re over there. We’ll only be gone a couple weeks.

Chanel: And your dad’s just gonna hand over the dimera jet to you?

Johnny: Yeah, well, he’s in one of those phases where he’s trying not to be a complete jerk. So might as well try and capitalize on it, right?

Chanel: Oh, where are you going?

Johnny: Allie’s gonna be at the pub, so I’ll let her know that she has to handle the bakery. And all you have to do is go home, pack your bags.

Chanel: Going home to pack was the beginning of my nightmare.

Johnny: Ah, then don’T. We’ll stop in milan. Fashion capital of the world.

Chanel: I still have to get my passport.

Johnny: Okay. You want me to go with you for moral support?

Chanel: No, I’ll just try to sneak in and out without seeing my mom. I can’t believe we’re doing it. And mostly, I can’t believe you’re doing this for me. Thank you, gio.

Johnny: Di niente, carissima.

Allie: Hey, drop that.

Tripp: What?

Allie: That biscotti is for your mom and rafe.

Tripp: They’re not gonna miss one biscotti.

Allie: It’s more than that. We have three, possibly four dinners to get through. We need to pace ourselves.

Tripp: It’s like a food marathon.

Allie: Not to add any more pressure, but the brady family does measure a man’s worth based off of how much he eats at thanksgiving.

Tripp: Oh, great. So we go from that to my italian mother.

Allie: The things we do for love.

Tripp: Let the games begin. Okay.

Kayla: Julie? Ah. Hi. Is, uh, julie upstairs?

Belle: Uh, no, she’s gone. Shawn took her to bayview to see doug.

Kayla: Oh, no. I just got off the phone with your mother, and she was adamant that he have no visitors. I mean, they’re gonna turn her away.

Belle: Well, it’s not mom’s call anymore. I got a court order giving julie her medical power of attorney.

Kayla: I wonder how your mother’s gonna react to that.

Belle: Not looking forward to finding out. But, you know, I had to do something. Julie was miserable.

Kayla: I agree.

Belle: Although now that they’re on their way over there, it’S…it’s really hitting me. Now I got a court order overturning one of my mom’s medical decisions. Like I was questioning her competence. I don’t know. What if she’s right and I’m wrong?

Kayla: I have had questions about this decision myself. Your mother is one of the best doctors I know, but I–

Belle: Something’s wrong, isn’t it? I mean, my mom is like the most compassionate person I know. She has empathy for ben weston. To do this to doug?

Kayla: I know. She’s not the doctor or even the person that I have loved and admired for as long as I can remember.

Belle: What’s happening to her?

[Eerie off-key notes]

Demon marlena: Well, john, you certainly are the most popular guy in town. All your friends are out looking for you, which means I’ve gotta find a way to make sure that you and that imbecile susan disappear…permanently. Like pulsing, electric shocks,

Paulina: Well, look what the cat dragged in.

Johnny: Hey. Uncle steve, happy thanksgiving. How you doing?

Steve: Same to you, man. Hey, before we go in, can I talk to you for a minute?

Johnny: Sure. What’s up?

Steve: Well, kayla and i were just talking to your grandma marlena.

Johnny: Yeah?

Steve: I’m wondering, have you noticed anything strange about her lately?

Johnny: Strange? In what way?

Demon marlena: Time to kill two birds with one stone. Or maybe… I should say dagger.

Belle: Well, in a way it’s a relief that you think I did the right thing, but–and it also scares me that you’re worried about mom too.

Kayla: Well, I tell myself that she’s just too close to the case. That she loves doug and julie so much that it’s out of an abundance of caution that she wants to keep doug isolated to keep them both safe.

Belle: Right. But it’s not just this one decision, is it? I mean, you might say it’s out of an abundance of caution, but it just doesn’t seem like that, does it? It seems like she’s doing all the things she’s doing deliberately.

Kayla: Well, why don’t we just…focus on today? It’s thanksgiving, and we should be grateful that doug and julie are back together again.

Belle: Oh, I would love to be able to see them together again.

Kayla: I know.

Julie: Then turn around!

[Gasps, murmuring]

Belle: Oh my goodness.

Shawn: He’s home.
