THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ohh. That was so unsatisfying. Well, that’s just what every man longs to hear.

[ Chuckles ] No, I mean retracing chloe’s steps, you know? Ah. I was hoping to — thank you — just be able to find something more than just the site of the accident. We did find something more. We found a road to this quaint little tavern. So what do you say, anna devane? Should we take a night off sleuthing, just one, have ourselves a little drinky? I’m in.

[ Cell door opens ]

[ Groaning ] You’ve got company. Oh, you brought me a roommate. How thoughtful. I was getting a little lonely. Enjoy.

[ Dr. Obrecht grunts ]

[ Cell door closes ]

Mein gott. Drew cain? You’re alive? Dr. Obrecht, right? But you vanished. It’s been years. So, I’m getting the sense that you’re not the reason that I’m in here, which… begs the question, who managed to capture you? That’s my boy. Hey, wiley is the next picasso. That’s your boy, alright. So, are you suggesting that I’m not artistic? I’m not saying you’re not

not artistic. Wow. I am wounded.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, you’ll get over it.

[ Door opens ] Willow: Yuri, hi. Yuri: Hello, ms. Willow. I told you you could just call me willow, okay? Ms. Brook lynn take ms. Bailey upstairs for nap time, but, uh, I have treat from charlie’s for wiley. Oh, that is so sweet. I think we’ll save it for dessert. There something else, yuri? Wiley have visitor. Oh? Hi. Good. You’re here.

[ Door closes ] Hi, maxie. What’s, um, going on? Maxie has something she wants to tell you. Okay, th-this sounds serious. It is.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I’m of two minds. A big part of me thinks, “it’s not your business. Just stay out of it.” But another part, also big, thinks that I have information you have a right to because you’re sonny’s wife. And if I were you, I would want to know. Yeah, it was my idea to have the funeral. You know, carly wasn’t ready. I mean, nobody was — was ready. I just said we should do it. You did right. I mean, you — you s– you had to send a message that I was gone and that you were in charge. I know, but… that’s the business. …I hated every minute of it, because it felt like, doing business, I couldn’t — couldn’t actually grieve. Well, the good news is you don’t have to grieve anymore. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection, but we also bundle outdoor vehicles with home and auto to help people save more!

[ Laughs ]

[ Humming ]

[ Door creaks ] Oh.

Life is so strange, isn’t it? In what way? It’s cyclical. It, uh, teaches us the most interesting lessons in the most unexpected ways. Oh, you’re in a mood. I’m in a brooding mood. Is that a turn-off? No. I like it. Keep going. Why is life unexpected and interesting? Being back in greece, for one. I think it’s, uh, reminded me or maybe helped me to see how after, in my mind, you rejected me because of the way I looked — it had nothing to do with your looks. I said in my mind. I became obsessed with re-creating myself, with getting my hands on the cassadine inheritance. Yeah, and taking your place as the cassadine. Yeah. And all that evil crap with the chimera and the rest — oh, it was so much. Mm-hmm. It was about paying for my expensive spinal surgeries and also to fund my quest for the cassadine fortune. But… it was also about circling back to you. I wanted to stand tall in front of you and say, “look at me, anna devane. I’m strong. And I’m rich. I’m a cassadine.” But I don’t think I ever really appreciated how much of a burden that was to me. Of course I’m not the reason you’re here. You think if I wanted to hold someone captive, I couldn’t come up with a better facility than this? Ah. I see you’re not into the accommodations. Don’t worry. They grow on you. As do the bruises and lacerations. Mm. It’s a look. That’s quite the professional beating you received. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wh-what is that? Antibiotics. I’ve been told to check your injuries and treat you for possible infection. Uh, no, I-I-I don’t — I don’t think that’s a good idea. Why not? If memory serves, and I could be wrong about this, you were some kind of evil villainess, weren’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, you have much bigger problems than me. Is that so? You really don’t know who’s holding you here, do you? And let me guess, you’re not about to tell me. On the contrary, I would be delighted.

[ Grunts ] It’s okay, yuri. Nina’s family. Yeah, come on in. Wiley, look who’s here. Hi. You know, whatever growing pill you’re taking, it needs to stop right now. You’ve grown like a foot since last time I’ve seen you. Hey, wiley, I have missed you so much.

[ Chuckles ] He’s missed you, too. Yeah. Can I have a hug? Oh, yeah, of course. Yay! Come here! That’s wiley’s specialty. Yay. Oh, honey.

[ Sighs ] It’s the best hug ever. Okay, guess what. I got you something. You want to see it? Look at this. Do you like it? Yeah? Yes. Why don’t you go look at it? Go look at it.

[ Chuckles ]Yeah, he loves it. Yeah. I understand that you two got back together. I’m so happy for you. Oh, yeah, thank you. Uh, yeah, we’re happy for us, too. Feels like the whole family has been given a second chance, now that sonny’s home. So, what about you? Is this another quick visit, or are you back for good? So now that I’m back, I want you to give me details on what happened while I was gone. Yeah, go ahead. Ask me anything. Well, I know you wouldn’t have had a funeral, first of all, and you definitely wouldn’t have gotten married to carly if — if, uh, the situation didn’t require it. Yeah, we — we had no choice. And then dante showed up when I came home? Was that a police matter? Yeah, there was a-a limo explosion outside of the wedding. Your wedding? Who was in it? Novak and buscema. What are the odds? I mean, I can’t see you inviting two guys to a wedding you’re gonna blow up, but I can see them coming to a wedding to blow you and carly up, but you were one step ahead, right? We, uh, owe a real debt to ms. Wu. I always liked her. Yeah, me, too. What is it that we’re talking about, here, maxie? What do you know? Well, I-I’m going to tell you. Then tell me. Okay, can I do it in my way and in order? A-and please try and reserve any judgment, which I know will be difficult. It would be for me, too. We’re kind of alike in that way. Okay, look, I get that you’re trying to help, but the way you’re building this up is making it sound really bad. Yeah, well, it is. Well, then, what is it? Maxie! Come on. Okay, fine! Nina has known for months that sonny was alive.

My name’s caleb. What’s yours? I’m grace! Did you just move here? Yeah! Cool!

I hate that helena cassadineis my mother? Of course I do. But I’m free of it. Mm-hmm. Yes, you are. I have two beautiful daughters that I love and adore. I have money of my own. I’m my own man. What’s happened happened. Of course, you and I still have a very messy history. So messy. But I’m not tethered by it. I don’t drag it around like a ball and… chain? …Chain. I’m free to pursue you because I want to, because you’re gorgeous, and you captivate me. And I could make you dizzy with a million other fancy words for why I just like being around you. Okay, that’s enough ouzo for you, I think. I don’t know. Maybe it’s not enough ouzo for you. You trying to get me drunk? Hell yes. You think I’m handsome now? Wait till you get a buzz going.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Speaking greek ] This is the perfect atmosphere for this conversation. Is this a conversation? ‘Cause I think it has to be two ways. We would never have this conversation back in port charles. You are so guarded. I’m not guarded. I just like to keep up a professional demeanor. You’re guarded. You never let your defenses down. But here we are, just the two of us, in the field.

[ Speaks greek ]

[ Speaks greek ] Oh, yes. Tomorrow, when the sun comes up, you can pretend this never happened. Or you can admit that it did and just dismiss my words as those of a drunken fool. But tonight, I’m saying everything. What is the last thing you did as a free man?

[ Groans ] I, um… I sent andre maddox back to port charles, and then — and then I got on a charter plane to afghanistan. At least it was headed to afghanistan, because I was gonna return the money that my… “good buddy” archer stole. And then sometime mid-flight, the plane veered off-course and — and we landed on some island. And then what? Well, then two guys with guns, they boarded the flight. I tried to resist them, and then — and then lights out. For me, not for them. I woke up in this place, and I’ve been here ever since. And what does that tell you? Man, you must really like the game “20 questions.” It tells me that somebody wanted me abducted, and I didn’t know why then, and I still don’T. It was two people working in tandem. And those people would be…? The first, the one responsible for your original abduction, was none other than peter august. So, I assume with buscema and novak out of the picture, nothing ties us to their deaths? I mean, you know, diane and i will probably have to go down to the station, sit there for a while, but there’s nothing to find. Good. That means we’re in a-a decent position. Am I right? Uh, I don’t know. I mean, because buscema and novak wouldn’t have acted on their own. Renault? Even from prison, he’s still connected. Cyrus is definitely not gone. We got to work on a strategy. What? Well, I mean, you know, I could just — I could just picture that bastard sipping coffee, learning about the two guys that died and I’m alive.

[ Laughs ] And I’m standing here in front of my grave, and I’m not in it. I feel like a winner. I cannot be touched. Then, uh, we need to have this conversation. It’s a little early to say if I’m back for good. Uh, tbd, how about that? Fair enough. But no more… where were you again? Pennsylvania. Uh, no, I said goodbye to my time there. Ah. Well, hey, one chapter closes, another one begins. Yes, that’s what they say. Wiley, he looks so happy.

[ All chuckle ] We’re trying. And you’re succeeding. Michael, willow, there’s something that I need to tell you. Wait, I’m sorry. Did you just say that nina knew? Yes. So when I went to pick up my dad in nixon falls, nina knew that sonny was there? Yes. She was hiding him away, letting all of us grieve and putting my mother through hell?! I want to know what she knew and when. And I want to know how and when you found out. I did not know when I planned your wedding, okay? I swear. I didn’t find out till this morning when nina came to me, and she was really upset and — and very remorseful. She said she made a terrible mistake. A mistake. Is that what we’re calling it?

Okay, your turn. What, to drink or talk? Both. We don’t have to talk about me all night. We can talk about you. What do you think of me?

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Since you’re not even going to remember your name in the morning, I will tell you.

[ Exhales sharply ] I missed you. I missed what we were to each other. Our friendship. And, yeah, I know it was me who messed it up. But then when everything happened and you came back into my life… it was a problem. What was the problem? I like you. And I didn’t want to. And it keeps getting worse. And I think, in a way, you understand me better than anyone else. I mean, robert is the closest, obviously. But he’s the… good soldier. That’s the difference. He never sold out. He never compromised himself like — like I did. How we both did. I’m not saying that he looks down on me. What I’m saying is that I look down on myself when I’m with him. But not with me because I’m so much worse? Yes, you are. Right. That’s not what I meant. No, I know, I know, I know. I’m good. I’m good. You know, the first thing that changed my life completely… was the birth of my daughter charlotte. And you know the second thing. It was you. Oh, my god. Of course. Peter was in afghanistan. He paid david archer to hand me over to helena. Something you didn’t remember at first, but when it started to come back years later — that son of a bitch didn’t want me to rat him out.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, peter was anxious to keep hidden what a wretched human being he is, someone who stole you from your life and — and scrambled your memory. He — he saw me as a threat. Specifically to your standing with the people he held most dear — maxie and his unborn child. So peter went “extreme,” as they say — not that I haven’t been there myself. But there’s a difference between doing nefarious things because you’re blindly in love with the person you’re doing them for and doing them just because it’s expedient. Wait. What did peter do to maxie? Well, I mean, carly was gonna talk to you about it, but since, you know, the moment came up, uh, I thought I will. Yeah?Yeah. H-h-how you doing with your, uh, bipolar disorder? I mean, have you been on your meds? H-how you dealing with it? Because you seem like you’re doing okay right now. I-I was — I was lucky, ’cause the people that took me in, uh, phyllis, she was a nurse, and she — she saw my erratic behavior from the beginning. Did it get bad? Nah, it didn’t get — didn’t get really bad, but I couldn’t — I didn’t sleep couple nights, and, um… you know, uh — you know how I get when I’m having a manic episode. And anybody else would have thrown me out, called the cops. But they were fantastic. They just told me to go to the doctor and get treatment. I mean, that — well, that sounds like a real blessing. Yeah. But that doctor was treating a bartender named mike. Right. Sonny, you — you should see your psychiatrist. I just want to tell you how much it means to me that you gave me a second chance. I mean, to be able to be with wiley, it’s such a gift. Look. What it boils down to is wiley loves you and you love him. So much. How could we take that away from him? And I am so, so grateful. And not only that, but also that you’re wiley’s parents both of you. And you’re really great parents. I mean, you put him first, and you can tell. He’s such a happy, all-around awesome kid. And I give you guys all the credit. Thanks. Yeah. I don’t know about that. No, I do. You’re decent. You’re… decent, kind, good people. And you didn’t have to let me be part of wiley’s life, but you did it anyway. And I know there was a little coercion with jax, but I truly believe that if you thought that I was bad for wiley, there’s no way that you would let me in his life. You gave me a chance. Thank you. You’re very kind to say all that. No, I mean it. I’m very, very grateful. Well, so are we. The situation with wiley had gone really bad, as you know, and nina wanted to get out of town to clear her head. So she stopped by nixon falls to say hello to a friend, and she was floored when she saw sonny. So floored she couldn’t tell me? She was gonna call you, carly. She said she did call you to tell you that, uh, she saw sonny, and you guys got in some sort of argument? Oh, whoa, so now this is my mom’s fault? Wait, no, I didn’t say that. She wasn’t nice to nina, so that gave nina the right to lie and keep sonny a secret for months? That is crap!

I changed your life? Oh, this should be good. Yeah. It was miraculous, seeing you again, how you’d completely changed your life around. You’d gone from a sad, flawed, compromised sellout — mm, don’t hold back. And you’d become something so much better. I admire you. I could never reach the level that you’ve reached. But you showed me that I can make better choices. I can see that. I see you. I know you do. And you see me. Yeah. Better than anyone does, I think. Oh. Just don’t go and get all juvenile about this. Where have I heard that before? Wait, wait — not the juvenile part, the other bit. Okay. Oh, there we go. Yeah, you’re getting juvenile, I see. I know — me! I’m the one who said that. I’ve been saying that all along. I get you, anna devane, right down to your socks. I’m not wearing any socks. It’s a good start. Peter and maxie conceived a child together. Ah, I thought maxie had better instincts than that.

[ Chuckles ] He won her over. And he was convincing. Completely sold maxie on the fact that he was reformed. I fell for it, too, for a while. Maxie was my daughter-in-law. I wanted to be on good terms with her. And how’d that work out for you?

[ Scoffs, chuckles ] When peter’s past was on the brink of coming out to haunt him… he framed me for his own crimes and had me shipped off to steinmauer. S-so that’s it. So you were at steinmauer and then — and then they sent you here. There was this whole interstitial with maxie realizing how despicable peter was, rejecting him, and then him arranging to induce her labor so he could kidnap her and his child. As one does. So what happened?

[ Scoffs ] It backfired. The woman he hired to preside over the birth ended up stealing the baby, handing her off to someone else, and meeting an untimely end. So now that precious baby is out there. Maxie doesn’t know where to find her. Are you sure this wasn’t a setup by peter? Positive. The only thing he cares about is finding his daughter. Which is clearly why he’s working with victor. Who the hell is victor? You know, we haven’t forgotten how much you came through for wiley at the original custody hearing. I mean, you got on the stand, and you just told the truth about nelle, and I know it made a huge difference.

[ Chuckles ] It’s funny. At that time, I didn’t know that he was my grandson. Yeah. You know, I’ve — I’ve, uh — I’ve thought about that, you know, knowing what we know now, if it would have changed what you said. Willow: But it doesn’t matter. Yeah. You came through for wiley when he needed you, and… we will always be grateful. Yeah, I mean, I-it was — seriously, it was the definite turning point in the custody fight. You know what I remember about that day? What? I just genuinely wanted to do the right thing. And even though in my heart, I wish that things could have been different for nelle, and for me, the — the fact that things turned out the way they did for wiley, I was so thankful for. And that part, I will never question or regret, because he has you two. Josslyn: I’m sorry. I’m not mad at you. No, I know you’re not. It’s nina I’m mad at. But I’ve got to say, it kind of seems like you’re defending her. No, I’m not defending nina. What nina did was indefensible. But… do I feel empathy for her? Yes, okay? Because I’ve been at a place in my life where I’ve convinced myself out of fear or anger or pain that doing something wrong was okay. I’ve been there. So I’m not — I’m not really in a position to judge her. Are you, carly? Well, I really hadn’t thought about it, ’cause I was on my medication, so… I was doing well. That’s good. I’m glad. But you’re — you’re right. Um, I got to check it out. I got to take care of myself. You and carly talk about this, uh, about me? Yeah, of course. I mean, it’s a — it’s a big deal that you’re back. There’s a lot to figure out. Sorry you got stuck with this and, yeah, you know, all this hell that you’ve been through, and I-I wasn’t there to help you. It’s not your fault. No, it’s not. It’s nina’S.

[Music: “I swear”]Jaycee tried gain flings for the firs mm. Okay. That happened. I know. You’re a good kisser. Um, we need to sober up. I thought you said you weren’t drunk. Okay, you need to sober up. Oh, where’s the fun in that? Uh, so, I’m gonna get us a gallon of water, a gallon of coffee, and then we’re gonna sober up, and we’re gonna go back to the hospital. Oh, I want to hear more about your socks. Oh, boy. Be right back. Hi. Uh, I need two ice waters, two large coffees, uh, please and thank you. Of course. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Victor cassadine didn’t die in that explosion at crichton-clark. No, he survived and has been pulling strings ever since. To what extent, I’m not certain. All I know is that while on my way to st. Lucia — st. Lucia? To kill peter, which he so richly deserved — I was abducted and wound up here, with a pit stop at victor’s lavish compound. Huh. Bet you’re missing that place right about now. The company’s better here. So let me get this straight. Victor and peter are working together because peter wants to find his daughter. Yes. But peter is an incredible lowlife. I mean, victor has got to know that. Oh, please. Anyone who’s met peter for five minutes knows that. So then what’s in it for victor? I mean, obviously, he’s not doing it from the goodness of his heart, so what is he getting out of this arrangement? Alright, I think you probably want some alone time with wiley. Want to take a walk with me? I would love nothing more. Did you get the feeling that something was going on with nina, like she was upset or lost or…I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s probably part of the reason why she’s here, right? Seeing wiley will be good for her. It always does wonders for me. Hey, can I help you with this? Okay. Listen, I’m sorry I was gone for so long. Oh, it’s okay. We got to make up for lost time, right? Yeah.

[ Voice breaking ] Lost time might be all we have left. Sonny, what — what are you talking about? Nina who? Reeves. Re– I-I don’t — I don’t understand. Remember phyllis who I told you about? She hired me to work at her bar? Um, she was friends with nina. Nina left port charles to come and see phyllis. And she saw me. And I was, uh — you know, she knew that I was dead, but she saw me alive. She knew where I was. For how — for how long? Well, pretty much most of the time. So she — she — she knew, but she didn’t say anything to anybody? Yeah, it was complicated. That doesn’t sound that complicated to me. Well, what happened is nina was upset at carly over the whole nelle thing and then the — the wiley thing spilled over. I know, but we went through hell, sonny. Yeah, I know you did. I know you did. Carly and the kids, they were devastated. And now you’re telling me that they didn’t have to be devastated, that nina held the key to all this pain, and she didn’t use it? I get that you’re angry. And I’m angry, also. You’re not angry enough. I’ve done some terrible, questionable things. But that doesn’t justify what nina did. She stole sonny’s life for months, maxie! And for what?! Out of spite?! I mean, she literally took sonny’s free will and sat back and watched his family grieve. So no. Nina doesn’t get an excuse. I don’t disagree with you. You know, what you did today is the opposite of what nina did to sonny. She kept him a secret because it suited her. You came here and you told me the truth because you believed I deserved to know. Okay, I’m gonna feel really bad if I don’t say this, but… I still love nina, even though she did something very wrong. Well, that’s the painful part of loving someone… who messes up, right? But this was nina’s choice. And she’s gonna have to live with the consequences.

You’re a very shrewd man, drew. You cut right to the heart of it. Victor never does anything without an ulterior motive. There’s always a goal he’s working towards. And peter is helping him achieve that goal. Peter has something victor wants or needs or plans to acquire. And I hope he gets it, because once he’s no longer useful to victor, that will be the end of peter august. But none of which helps us. I don’t know about you, but I’m not gonna wait around to find out how it plays out between those two psychos. I’m getting the hell out of here. Music to my ears.

[ Cell door opens ] Time’s up. This man is very ill. His kidney may be bruised. I need to see him again soon. I’ll tell the boss. Let’s go. Um, excuse me, sir? Uh, uh, excus– do you speak english?

[ Chuckles ] Yes. Uh, sorry. I know. Tourist. Um, I’m headed to the U.S. Consul hospital to check on a patient there, and my friend is asleep upstairs. Uh, I may not be back until the morning. Mm. Not to worry. I’ll make sure your friend gets the message. Oh, thank you. Mm. I appreciate that. Night. Um, I loved your playing.

[ Speaks greek ] This woman stole nine months from you, nine months where you weren’t living your life with your wife and your kids. Why aren’t you furious? I-i was furious. But what’s the point? Nina, you know, she’s a sad woman. Her mother screwed her over. She went through a bad period in her life. She finds out she has a child, and it’s nelle. That would mess anybody up. I’m not making excuses. She absolutely should have told the truth. She made a bad decision. It’s more than one bad decision, sonny. She took so much from you. I’m not happy about that. But I don’t — I don’t see the point in wasting my energy hating her. I mean… maybe I just don’t want to — maybe I just don’t want to let myself get angry. I’m gonna have to talk to a psychiatrist about that one. Well, that sounds like a plan. Let’s get out of here. We got to get — get rid of this. This should have been gone yesterday. Okay, say cheese. Cheese. Cheese! Can you make a silly face for me?

[ Growls ] I don’t know how to —

[ Laughing ] Yes, you do. Mr. Wiley, you have another visitor. Well, of course he does, ’cause he’s irresistible.

[ Chuckles ] Can you take wiley? We’re going to need some time alone. Yuri: Of course. Come on. Wiley? Fist bump. You stole sonny’s life. And, bitch, you’re gonna pay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you okay, yuri? You need anything? I’ll be over here, looking, uh… how you say, discreet. Oh, yeah. That’s you. Discreet with a capital “D.”

[ Sighs ] Okay. Hi, I’m here. I’m here. Hi. Okay, so is yuri, so there’s no need to worry. There’s also two plainclothes officers outside. And as far as worrying goes, that feels like all I’m doing lately. First, I thought peter was gonna come after… you, and now I’m afraid I’m his target. Someone really did a number on you, didn’t they? Who did this? Peter? Or someone else? Either way, you’re safe now.

[ Door opens ] Hi. How is she? Just as the doctor said. She’s still unconscious.

[ Door closes ] Any luck? No, I mean, not much beyond her name. I can’t lose britta. Not after losing my nathan. I have no choice but to trust that you’ll keep your word. Oh, don’t worry, my darling. The worst is over now. Wrong again, darling. I shot you once and left you for dead. You survived. This time… you won’t be so lucky. Liesl, liesl, liesl. Are you sure this is how you want to play this?

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh. Hi. Hi.

[ Door closes ] I saw one of those trivia night fliers upstairs. You interested? Oh, I don’t know. I hadn’t really given it much thought. Yeah. Yeah, me neither. Anyway, I’ve got to, um… get these files upstairs. Of course. I’ll, um… I’ll see you around. Okay. I’ll see you. Okay. Okay. What’s up with you and elizabeth? You need to stop fooling yourself. Mike’s gone. You need to forget that he ever existed. I will never forget. I will never forget what mike and I shared together. You had nothing with me, nina. You were in love with some guy that you thought I was. Let’s — let’s start with that. Tending bar in nixon falls, mopping the floors. That’s not — if I wanted to do that, I would have stayed in brooklyn! That — that wasn’t my life plan, and it still isn’T. So is this — this is your life? Are you happy with this life here in port charles? Yeah. With my wife, my kids, and my business. Even though you wish it wasn’T. I got to go. I got to talk to diane about this buscema and novak thing. I know the cops are going to call me down. So… jason, there’s something we need to talk about. What are we gonna tell sonny? How do we make this okay for him? What — what do you mean by okay? Sonny doesn’t know our marriage was almost real, and it doesn’t matter because it’s over. I know that. But sonny’s been gone for nine months, and unless he said something to you, I have no idea how he’s been dealing with his bipolar disorder or if he’s been dealing with it at all. I looked on ancestry and just started digging and found some really cool stuff… it was just a lot of fun. Just to talk to my parents about it and to send it to my grandparents and be like, hey this person we’re all related to look at this crazy stuff they did in arizona 100 years ago. It actually gives you a picture of their life, so you get to feel like you’re walking the same path they did.

Oh, hey. Thanks for the assist the other day. Hmm? Keeping britt’s mind off her mother. Oh, right. Yeah, she totally saw right through it, but was grateful nonetheless. Dare I say I think britt might be growing on me? Stranger things have happened. Biz. Yeah? You seem distracted. Everything okay? I’m being as safe as i physically can be, so I know I’m being irrational. Hey, those are the same instincts that are gonna keep you away from peter, so you listen to them. There’s no harm in a little extra caution. Thank you for arranging this. Of course. Just remember — if anyone asks, we are here on deception business. Oh, right. Got it.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, maxie. Brook lynn. Hey. Oh, and look at you! Bailey’s getting so big. Champion eater, this one. Oh! I’m surprised to see you here. I thought you’d be at home celebrating. Celebrating what? Carly and jason’s wedding? Wait. You haven’t heard? Obviously not. Sonny’s alive.

[ Gasps ] Were you happy as mike? How do I answer that? Well, it’s simple. Were you happy as mike? Yeah, I was happy, but I didn’t know what I was missing. Well, doesn’t that tell you something? That there’s this happy, nonviolent, better guy living inside of you just waiting to come out? No. You know what that tells me? That — that the guy had amnesia. But the real me was still in there. You remember when there was trouble and I would take care of the situation? True. Right. Yes. We met — when we went to c-corinth, remember that guy? Yes. And I was terrified that you were going to hurt the guy or worse — that sonny would come out. But there was mike. You were kind to him. Because I made the smart move, nina. I may not always be right, but I don’t like to think that I’m stupid. Why would I beat the hell out of the guy when I can make him my ally? You got to look at a situation and turn it into your advantage. Yeah, I think that’s part of it, but I don’t believe it’s all of it. You gotta listen to me, okay? I’m sorry…that you fell in love with mike. And he fell in love with me. That was an illusion, plain and simple. We don’t know anything about what’s been going on with sonny the whole time he’s been gone. No, we don’T. I mean, he seems okay, which makes me think he’s got his hands on some kind of medication, but I don’t know. Maybe he hasn’T. Maybe he doesn’t think he needs it anymore. I mean, you are — you are right. Sonny, uh, seems pretty — pretty level. Although there were times before where he was on medication and he seemed level, and then he crashed. And if anything’s going to make him crash… …it’s this. Us. More importantly, how are you? I finally got the all clear from my physical therapist. Back to work? Back to work. Back to everything… that’s great, chase. That’s really great. Maybe just try to go easy in the gym, will you? Yeah, I’ve been warned. Yeah, but will you listen? So, you and elizabeth? From what I saw on the camping trip, things seemed to be progressing between you two. I guess they were. Well, what happened? It’s more like what didn’t happen. We almost kissed. So, chloe abandoned her car after the accident, and she made her way into this little village where she said she was an american, she gave them her name, and then she collapsed. So the local authorities were alerted, and then when the american consul ran her name and identity — she was listed as a missing person. Exactly. And that alerted the wsb because she was already on their register. Mm-hmm. Because the fake chloe had used her id when kidnapping maxie and the baby. But how the real chloe ended up here is anyone’s guess. It’s got to be peter, right? Mm. But I don’t remember faison having a base of operations here in greece. Other than the work he did for helena. Of course. Cassadine island is right close, isn’t it?

[ Sighs ] One of the things I’ve always found so sexy about you is your intelligence. So let’s review the situation. Obviously, you’re on my compound with a full staff keeping watch. So do you really think pulling a knife on me is your best strategy? It’s the only strategy. I’m not available to be your prisoner. I’m getting out of here and going home to my daughter.

[ Scoffs ] You didn’t used to be nearly this sentimental. Losing my son changed me. It made me understand what is important and what is not. What is worth it and what is not. Clearly a lesson you have never learned. So in case there’s any doubt? Yes, victor. I will kill you to get back to my only remaining child. In a heartbeat.

Last I heard, almost kissing was a good thing. I don’t know. It was just a moment. I’m — I’m not sure elizabeth wanted it to happen. Why would you say that? Well, it’s just a little awkward between us now. I mean, you saw us. I did. But vibes were coming from both you guys. Did you want the kiss to happen? I got a little lost looking into her eyes. Mm. If scott hadn’t fallen from the sky, who knows? You’d still be kissing her right now, huh? Listen, I just — I don’t want to… I don’t want to push anything, alright? If elizabeth’s not into it or if she’s having second thoughts, I — I understand that. Okay. But what if she’s neither of those things? Things were going really well, and the kids were off with chase. Finn and i had a moment alone… and…? And we were this close to kissing when scott showed up. Parachute and all. Yeah. Okay. So you were interrupted. Big deal. Just pick up where you left off. That’s the thing. I’m not sure finn wants to. I’m sorry rekindling our relationship isn’t in the cards, but I still… I still don’t think that our time together has been a waste of time.

Nein?

Nein. See, it’s given me a — a chance to see you in a whole new light, to appreciate you even more. I see how much you loved your son, liesl. I regret that he wasn’t mine. I also regret that we’re going to have to do this the hard way. Oh, don’t worry. I won’t kill you unless I absolutely have to. I don’t think he’ll see it the same way. Hello, liesl. It was so surreal to walk into that room and see sonny. I mean, not only alive, but smiling. I mean, I did not know what to feel first. It was a roller coaster of emotion, from shock to joy and confusion to relief. I can’t even imagine. When I first heard, I was blown away. Oh, yeah, that’s an understatement. Wait, how did you find out? Oh, uh, I hear things from… people who know stuff. Oh, that’s just so weird. I mean, sonny only came home to my mom and jason. On their wedding night. Oh, that’s a whole other story. But then dante showed up, and kristina, michael, and i got the text to come over, and… I’m sorry. Is dante the one who shared the news? Forget that I was married. I had an entire life, nina. What did you think you — you were gonna do? It was just gonna go on indefinitely? Even if — if I, you know, didn’t get my memory back, that humble bartender was so far from who I am. You’re right. I was in denial. Like 100% complete in denial. But let me make something really clear. There wasn’t one morning — not one — that I didn’t wake up and say to myself, “today is the day that I’m going to tell him the truth and make things right.” But you didn’T. I didn’t because I would see you smile. I’d see how peaceful you were, how happy. And all my willpower would just evaporate. It’s like nixon falls was this parallel world where only good things happen. There’s no pain. You weren’t in danger.

[ Voice breaking ] I never meant to hurt you. You didn’t think it hurt me to be away from my family? To leave carly and jason to pick up the pieces? You were great. We were great together. But it wasn’t real.

[ Sighs ] I mean, look. The vows we said, the life that we thought we would have, it’s — it’s not going to happen. And the feelings, these are going to go away in time, and we’re just gonna get back to normal. But if sonny finds out our plan was to have a real marriage… you know how sonny operates. And paranoia is huge for him when he’s having a manic episode. And if he’s having a manic episode, we don’t — we don’t know. Yeah. And if he is, the worst thing that can happen is for sonny to become paranoid against us — the two people who can help him.

It’s complicated, you know? I don’t get what’s so complicated. You and elizabeth are both adults who work in the same field, who spent weeks upon weeks trying to save my life. Thank you for that, by the way. Yeah, no problem. It makes sense that you guys would have grown closer together. Yes, but that was a heightened situation. So? So, you’re fine now, thank god, and things are going back to normal. Exactly. Now you and elizabeth have a chance to explore things between you in a regular, everyday setting. That’s what worries me.

[ Sighs ] When chase was sick, it was a distraction. From losing franco, you mean? Yeah. And working with finn to keep his brother alive was all-consuming, and it’s exactly what I needed. Not to mention, we made a pretty great team. You sure did. Spending all that time together… you got closer. It felt that way. It looked that way, too. But now I don’t know. I don’t know. Now that things have calmed down and we’ve both taken a step back… maybe I mistook our teamwork for something else. No, no, you’re right. Cassadine island is not far away. It’s about 20 minutes by boat. Are you okay with that? How does it feel being so close? I will say I’ve got some mixed emotions. Uh, I left the island when I was 6. I don’t remember having any fond memories there. What really bothers me is that nikolas got the entire inheritance. In such a dramatic way. So typical of helena to set things up that way. Absolutely. But the fact of the matter is it was not my money to inherit. I’m not a cassadine. I’m not beholden to mikkos or helena. I am the man that I made myself to be. You’re your own person. You know what? What? I think I’m starting to like him. I think I am, too. Well, you certainly took your time. Oh, I’m sorry. I was busy launching myself off a cliff to escape anna and valentin. Mm, and I was busy arranging your retrieval. Oh, and you’re welcome. You two are working together? Not that it’s any of your concern, liesl, since you tried to kill me. I tried to kill you because you deserve it. My only regret is that it didn’t work. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. Mm, perhaps. But he does have his uses. I trust that you took care of that mess in pennsylvania. Yes, I burned that hole-in-the-wall bar to the ground. Oh, and your niece was inside. Nina? I doubt that anyone survived. So, now that I’ve tied off one loose end, time to tie off another.

[ Dramatic music plays ] You know what, josslyn? One thing I have learned is never, ever ask maxie her sources. She just knows things, and we get to take advantage of that.

[ Laughs ] Mm. Anyways, let’s backtrack for a second. Sonny is alive? This is incredible. What happened? When he fell into the water after that bridge collapsed, he didn’t drown. He washed ashore in a small town in pennsylvania with no memory of who he was. Wow, that’s crazy. I know. I guess some nice people took him in and he’s been living there for the past nine months without any idea that he had this entire other life waiting for him. But he’s okay? Yeah. I cannot wait to see him. I-I don’t want to push myself on him if he’s overwhelmed or anything. I mean, is sonny really doing okay? You keep saying that it wasn’t real, and I understand that. I really do. But at the same time, it happened, sonny. We fell in love. Don’t say “we.” Okay, mike and I, we fell in love. And you were mike. No. No, i wasn’t mike. You had — you had feelings for somebody that wasn’t me. And I get the feeling that you don’t — you don’t even like who I am. I think you don’t like sonny corinthos very much. No, I just did– I — you — I just didn’t know sonny — you — very well. And I believed you had every reason to hate me. I read the stories. And the articles. And, yes, that made me see you in a more negative light, but mike didn’t happen in a vacuum. That kindness, that love, that patience, willingness to listen… all of that came from you, sonny. You have those qualities. I just didn’t know that. So all of this — all of me saying that mike was a better version of you — it was just me judging you because I didn’t really know you.

[ Crying ] I didn’t know you. And obviously, now I never will.

[ Sighs ] Everyone was there, jason. They saw us. At our wedding. Including michael. I mean, michael knows it was more than just politics for us, or at least it was going to be, and… I mean, what if sonny gets suspicious and he starts asking questions? What are you gonna tell him? I mean, if sonny asks about us… I’m gonna — I’m gonna tell him the truth. That we wanted a real marriage. But it didn’t get that far because sonny came back and everything changed. But what I need you to hold onto is that we didn’t do anything wrong.

[ Indistinct conversations, telephone ringing ] Okay. First thing I’m going to caution you against is trying to put yourself into finn’s head. You have no idea what he’s thinking, biz. Oh, but don’t I, though? Last night, when we were talking about doing a redo on the camping trip, all he brought up was the kids. Nothing about the almost-kiss. Mm-hmm. And did you bring it up? No, but there was a reason for that. Like what? Like maybe it’s just too soon. Not only for finn, but for me, too. I don’t believe that for one second. Elizabeth lost her husband not that long ago, and I’m — I’m pretty fresh off a bad breakup. Okay, “fresh” might be a little bit of a stretch. You know what I’m saying. Maybe the timing is just not right. Maybe the timing is perfect. Not to mention violet. Who adores elizabeth. Thinks she walks on water. Exactly. You saw how hard this was on violet when anna and i ended things. Say — say elizabeth and I, we do get close… and then it doesn’t work out. I’m not gonna put my daughter through that again. You’re right. I am? Yeah, I don’t think you should get involved with anyone ever again in the slight off chance that it just might not work out. That’s not what I’m saying. Yes, it is. Dr. Yuan: Brains can and do heal. We’re hoping for the best with ms. Jennings. Do you have any idea when she might come out of it? I’m sorry, I don’T. There’s no timetable for this. What can you actually tell us about her condition? She has a concussion, most likely from a car accident. She was also dehydrated, disoriented. She had clearly come from some kind of stressful situation. Okay, so probably not a person who ran off the road while drunk on vacation. No. Hm, sounding more and more like chloe was being held against her will. What are you doing? Liesl is my guest. So? You’re not calling the shots here — I am. Put the gun down. Take whatever you want. The knife, my life — I don’t care. Just let me kill him first. W-wait —

that’s the trade? Yes. You stupid, pathetic woman — whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let me think about this. Sonny seems great. Yeah? I mean, I don’t know. I don’t really have a scale to judge it on. Last night was amazing and wonderful. He was so happy to see us, and of course, we were just as happy to see him. I mean, he seemed like the sonny I’ve always known. Did he tell you what he’s been up to, or…? You know, he didn’t say much. But I’m sure he will once he settles in. That makes sense. Yeah. You know, he says that he knew where he was and what he was doing. But, you know, nine months…

[ Chuckles lightly] It’s kind of a long time, and I’m sure there’s holes. Look, maxie, I don’t want to put you on the spot, and I totally get the “don’t reveal your sources” thing, but if you do know something, it’d be great if you could tell my mom. Yeah, yeah, I think you’re right, josslyn. I definitely need to talk to carly. Look, we never would have let ourselves go down this road if sonny hadn’t disappeared. No, of course not. I-I don’t want sonny to think that he’s in our way. Or that we’re still together. Because we’re not. No, we’re not. But we don’t want to… there’s nothing to hide. And sonny’s just gonna pick up on that. Okay, so let’s just take this step by step. Okay. Okay. Just, um… I’ll talk to sonny about his bipolar disorder, and then we’ll just take it one day at a time. And, uh, if he asks any questions, we just tell him the truth. Tell the truth. I really hope he doesn’t ask. My reckoning day has come, hasn’t it? All the lies I told, all the people I left to grieve for you. They’re gonna feel betrayed, and they should, because that’s what I did. Betrayed so many people, and I betrayed the trust that we had with each other. And I betrayed michael and our grandson. You didn’t lose that connection, did you? What? When you were video chatting with wiley, that call wasn’t dropped. You ended it ’cause you didn’t want me to see my family. Yeah. Out of all the choices I could have made, I chose the one that would alienate everybody. And now I have to live with the anger and resentment. Theirs… and yours.

And then there’s the whole violet angle. You are shutting this down before it’s even begun. No, I’m not. Yes, you are. You are way overthinking this. No, I’m trying to be an adult. And do you want to be a happy adult? Of course I do. Okay. Does elizabeth make you happy? Yes. I love spending time with finn. Then get out of your own way already. Talk to her, actually see where you are with each other, and then maybe you’ll find out that you guys are actually on the same page. And if you don’t — no harm, no foul. But you’ll never know if you don’t try. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, when you put it like that… didn’t think your little brother could be so wise, did you? No, I didn’T. Let’s not go overboard. I’m here for advice anytime you need me — oh, my god, I’ve created a monster. It’s like — I can’t do this anymore. I got work to do, alright? Just show yourself out. You cannot be serious. As tempting as I find your offer, the truth is… I can’t trust you. But you trust him?! Oh, peter and I have our own arrangement. Then you are a bigger imbecile than I thought. The second he sees his opening, he’ll double-cross you. Well, that’s just a chance I’ll have to take.

[ Dramatic music plays ] I loved our wedding. And our reception. And I’m gonna treasure those memories for the rest of my life. But that’s private. That’s for me and that’s for you. And I’m not trying to shut sonny out. It’s just he wasn’t there. He wasn’t a part of it. And to try and explain that to him is only gonna cause tension — look, I know — carly. First of all, it’s — it’s sonny, okay? And the three of us have been through way worse than this. And it’s a good thing that he’s back. Oh, I know. It’s a miracle. I mean, it’s — it’s what I’ve prayed for every moment that he was gone. But at the same time, it’S… it’s disorienting. I know. There’s gonna be bumps. There’s always gonna be bumps. But we have him. And he has us. And it’s gonna be okay.

[ Chuckles ] I love that about you. When you say that it’s gonna be okay, you mean it. Now you say it.

[ Laughs ] Go ahead. It’s gonna be okay. ‘S gonna be all right. Let me tell you something, nina. And this is coming from experience. It’s — it’s never a good thing to play god with someone’s life. And that’s what you did. And now there’s gonna be a fallout. I know. And I’m sorry about that, because, uh, I have to be honest — aside from the first initial impulse to get back at carly, I don’t think you did anything with malice. I think that you made a mistake and you just kept going on. That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? And for what it’s worth, I truly am really sorry. I hope you don’t suffer from my mistakes.

[ Sighs ]

You ready to go? Da. I order a avocado on toast for monica. Aww, that was so sweet of you, yuri. I’m sure monica will really appreciate that. But we have bigger fish to fry. Peter august. Yeah, he’s still out there. The guy’s got a screw loose. For all we know, peter might be planning a full-blown assault on the house. Well, if he tries, it’ll be the last thing he ever does. I won’t know let anyone get near you or that baby. I think we should head to the village, conduct a few interviews, maybe see if someone saw chloe or the car or both. You never know what kind of details you can turn up. I think that’s a good idea. Let’s go. I would like you to notify me if she wakes up. Will do. Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hi again. Hi. [ Chuckles ] Maybe we should make ourselves scarce. I think that’s the best bet. So. So. So, how are you at trivia? Oh…

[ Scoffs ] Not great. Ah. But it’s more about fun than skill, right? Right. Right, and — and it’s for a really good cause. Yeah, exactly. So, um… maybe next wednesday? Yeah. Okay. I’ll be there.

[ Sighs ] Stop this at once! Victor: I’m so sorry it had to come to this. Where are you taking me?! I look forward to seeing you soon. Victor! We can negotiate! Peter: It’s a mistake keeping her alive. She’s dangerous. Take it from someone who knows. Oh, I’m well aware that she’s dangerous — to you. That’s why I locked her up. Then why take the risk when you can just get rid of her? That’s for me to know and you… not to.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not nearly as smart as you think you are, victor. We’re done here.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yes. What do you have for me? Ms. Jennings just had two visitors from the wsb.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Good. You’re here.

[ Door closes ] Hey, maxie. What’s going on? Maxie has something she wants to tell you.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Hey, dad. I’m home. Took me a while, but I finally made it. That wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for you coming to me in the woods. You saved my life. And, you know, I-I… your watch — I, uh… I-I threw it away. I mean, it…

[ Sighs ] It’s a long story. But… hey. Hey. Glad you’re here. First things first — can we get rid of that thing?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Philip: Good morning.

Chloe: Good–good morning. What is that?

Philip: It’s for you.

Chloe: Oh, and what is the occasion?

Philip: It’s national strawberry pie day. You didn’t know?

Chloe: Oh, well, how many pies are in there? No, seriously, what’s in there?

Philip: Why don’t you open it up, find out?

Jake: Hey.

Brady: Hey, jake. Uh, what are you doing here?

Jake: I was picking up my dry cleaning across the street. Thought I’d stop in and say hello.

Brady: Oh. How did you know where I live?

Jake: I sent you a fruit basket when you got shot, remember? Back when I was your boss?

Brady: Ah.

Jake: Anyway, I was in the area, and I thought I’d check in. See how that talk with your grandfather went.

Brady: Oh, the talk that you wanted me to have with him about philip, where you and gabi were concerned about the way in which philip is running titan?

Jake: Yeah, exactly.

Brady: Funny thing, jake, is I don’t–I don’t remember confirming that I was going to have that talk with my grandfather. So how exactly do you know that I did?

Gabi: Oh, yes. I would love a cup.

Rafe: I thought you moved out–again.

Gabi: I’m back–again.

Nicole: This is totally out of order.

[Sighs] There’s gotta be a stapler remover somewhere.

Ej: Nicole? Sorry. Didn’t mean to startle you.

Nicole: Once again, the big boss shows up unannounced. You know, the last time you were here, you told me to hire xander or I would be let go.

Ej: That’s exactly what I’ve come to discuss.

Xander: Gwen. How did you get in here?

Gwen: I have my ways. Are you all right?

Xander: I’m fine. They’ll have me out of these clothes and into a jumpsuit any minute now, I’m sure.

Gwen: Oh, my goodness. You look absolutely exhausted. You must be starving too. You didn’t get to have your dinner before rafe dragged you out last night.

Xander: Oh, I hope you didn’t let all that room service go to waste.

Gwen: Come on, are you joking? I’ve lost my appetite. You shouldn’t even be in this mess; I’m the one who dragged you here in the first place. I’m so sorry, xander.

Xander: Don’t be. ‘Cause like I said, you’re worth it.

Gwen: After everything you’ve done for me, I promise I’m going to make this up to you. I’m going to get you out of here no matter what it takes.

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Rafe: So ava said that you and jake got into some sort of fight with her yesterday and then you just took off?

Gabi: No, she picked the fight with me. That pushy, obnoxious–

Rafe: Just tell me what happened.

Gabi: All right. Long story short, I am sick of your girlfriend’s crap, so jake and I decided to move back to the dimera mansion, but that didn’t happen.

Rafe: Why not? You own the place.

Gabi: That’s what I thought, but when I got there, I told chad and ej to start packing. Jake shouldn’t have to live with those traitors. But they didn’t leave.

Rafe: You didn’t make them leave?

Gabi: I couldn’T. Turns out ej owns the house now. The snake pulled a dirty trick and stole it out from under me.

Rafe: Hmm. Sorry to hear that.

Gabi: Ej–ej’s the one that’s gonna be sorry, ’cause I am not gonna take this lying down. I already have my lawyers on it.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. But in the meantime, you’ll be here for a while.

Gabi: I didn’t think you minded having us.

Rafe: I don’T. But I do mind the way you treat my girlfriend.

Gabi: Well, it’s not my fault you’re dating a heartless bitch.

Rafe: Oh my–

Gabi: It’s true.

Ava: Good morning to you two.

Nicole: So do you have another ultimatum for me? Oh, I can’t wait to hear it!

Ej: There’s no need for sarcasm. You know I only use such tactics as a last resort–and you weren’t being very cooperative.

Nicole: About working with the man who destroyed my marriage? No, I wasn’t, sorry. But I did hear that xander was in jail, so now I’m just hoping he never gets out.

Ej: Xander’s been terminated. He didn’t hold up his end of the bargain to return the money samantha paid him. So I’ve rescinded my legal services as well as the job offer. You’ll never see him in this office again.

Nicole: Really?

Ej: As far as I’m concerned, xander cook can rot in jail for the rest of his miserable life.

Xander: This is not your fault, gwen. It’s ej dimera’S. He’s the one who got the judge to make the charges against me go away, and when I can snap my fingers and get him back the money the cops confiscated, he got me arrested again.

Gwen: Xander, you don’t belong here. You didn’t even commit a bloody crime.

Xander: I’ve committed plenty, just not the ones I’m currently accused of.

Gwen: You are not staying behind bars.

Xander: Gwen, darling, are you, uh, suggesting a jailbreak? ‘Cause that would be incredibly sexy.

Gwen: No. That’s not what I’m suggesting.

[Sighs] I’m saying that I want to make things right.

Xander: You don’t have to worry about that.

Gwen: I’m the one who’s running drugs for snyder. I’m the one who should be arrested. And I’m not allowing you take the blame for me any longer.

Xander: So what are you gonna do?

Gwen: What I should’ve done a long time ago. I’m going to confess.

 

Xander: No, gwen. You can’t confess.

Gwen: But I wouldn’t say the whole truth, would I? I would say to the police what I told my father– that snyder knew that I was a hooker.

Xander: Sex worker.

Gwen: Sorry, yes. Snyder knew I was a sex worker, and that he used that information to make me run drugs for him.

Xander: You’d still be admitting to a felony.

Gwen: It’s to get you out of here.

Xander: But it wouldn’T. I’m not in here ’cause I’m guilty. I’m in here because ej dimera has a judge under his thumb. So if you confess, all it’s gonna do is– you’ll just end up hurting yourself. It won’t change anything.

Gwen: Okay, but xander, I can’t just bloody sit here and do nothing, can I?

Xander: Stop blaming yourself–maybe this is just karma catching up with me.

Gwen: Me too. God. We finally take a risk and we put our feelings out there and we– what the bloody hell am I talking about? I don’t give up, and neither do you.

Xander: Well, look, unless you’re willing to revisit the jailbreak concept, I don’t think we have a lot of other moves.

Gwen: Rubbish. Right, move number one: We are gonna get you a bloody fantastic lawyer.

Xander: Called around last night. Started with the top-tier firms, worked my way down to the ambulance chasers. Every single one of them refused to represent me.

Gwen: Why?

Xander: The instant i mentioned ej was the author of all my problems, every single one of them hung up on me.

Gwen: Come on, surely there must be somebody in this stupid town who has a law license who isn’t terrified of the dimeras. Ah!

[Laughs] And here he is.

Nicole: It’s not like xander went on a spending spree with the cash that sami paid him to ruin my marriage. The cops are holding it as evidence.

Ej: Are you suggesting I give him a second chance?

Nicole: Oh, god, no, no, no. That animal deserves to be in a cage for all the horrible things that he has done. I just figured that when the charges were dropped that would be the end of it. So how did they suddenly just reappear?

Ej: Let’s just say the less you know, the better. Is it take your daughter to work day?

Nicole: What? No, no, that’s–

Ej: Don’t worry, nicole. I’m not going to punish you for violating company policy.

Nicole: I did not bring holly to work, and that is not her bear.

Ej: Oh, so it’s yours?

Nicole: Actually, it belongs to rafe hernandez.

Gabi: Buenos días to you too.

Rafe: Gabi, I think that you owe ava an apology.

Gabi: Why? Wha–what I said is nothing compared to the things she said to me.

Rafe: Okay, well maybe she only said those things because you provoked her.

Gabi: [Gasps] What? Why are you taking her side? I am your sister!

Rafe: Ava is my girlfriend.

Gabi: Oh, and every time you say that makes my skin crawl. Listen, I know that it’s hard out there, and it might be you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel with–

Rafe: This is exactly what I am talking about. You cannot say those kinds of things to ava, okay?

Gabi: Maybe I’d be nicer if she wasn’t in my face all the time.

Rafe: You’re the one who decided to move back in here.

Gabi: This is my house! I grew up here!

Rafe: I pay the mortgage.

Gabi: Oh, my god, rafe. Seriously, are you saying I’m the one that has to move out?

Ava: Okay, stop, please. Please stop; I don’t want the two of you fighting over me. If it would make things easier if I found my own place…

Rafe: No, no, no. I never said that.

Gabi: I am.

Ava: Okay. Rafe, family means everything to me, and I know you feel the same way.

Rafe: Yeah. I am not asking you to move out. I am asking for my sister to be reasonable and take the high road for once–like you are.

Ava: I thought you’d like to know in advance that gabi hernandez dimera is plotting against you.

Philip: Plotting against me how?

Ava: Well, she and your new corporate spy. They’re planning to oust you from titan and take over themselves.

Jake: I happened to be passing by the kiriakis place last night and saw your car and figured you were there talking to victor, you know, since you seemed pretty concerned about what gabi and I told you.

Brady: You happen to know what kind of car I drive?

Jake: Well, it’s a pretty sweet ride. I used to be a mechanic. I pay attention to these things.

Brady: I see. You know, I know that you used to be in the mob, right? So is this your not-so-subtle way of letting me know that you’re keeping tabs on me?

Chloe: [Gasps] Oh my goodness. Fire and ice roses. They’re gorgeous. Mm. I can’t believe you remembered.

[Sentimental music]

 

Philip: How could i ever forget?

Chloe: After all these years, you’re still surprising me. Where did you even find these?

Philip: I went back to the nursery to ask how to take care of our tree. Saw these, and i couldn’t resist.

Chloe: That is so thoughtful. Thank you.

Philip: You’re welcome. As for our sapling, it’s still freshly planted, so it’s gonna need a little tlc until it takes root. That’s what this is for. The nursery owner said it was her top recommendation for a 22nd anniversary gift.

Chloe: Uh, it seems a little bit random, no?

Philip: Apparently, it’s the water anniversary, which got me thinking– it’s been 22 years since we met.

Chloe: 22 years? That’s crazy.

Philip: You’ve always been the one that got away. I made so many mistakes back then.

Chloe: We both did.

Philip: But I learned from them, chloe. And I promise you I’m gonna take perfect care of our tree–and of you. When I heard about the science behind the new

Gwen: Thank god somebody from xander’s family actually cared enough to show up. Thank you very much, justin. Justin is it? Yes, thank you very much for offering to represent xander.

Justin: Oh, no, that’s not why I’m here.

Xander: It’s not?

Justin: No, no, I came down to see bonnie.

Xander: Oh, we haven’t seen her, actually, but if I do, we’re gonna have a nice, sweet chat about taking stuff that doesn’t belong to you.

Gwen: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. Okay, look. Since fate has just brought you into this room, can’t you help xander, your cousin, who is innocent?

Justin: I’m sorry, I can’t take on anything else right now. I am working around the clock on bonnie’s case, so–

Gwen: Mm, yeah, yeah. I’m sure that’s a full-time job given that she’s murdered two people in cold blood and stole xander’s money. And that’s the reason that he’s back in jail. So you owe him.

Justin: Bonnie is incredibly remorseful, and there were extreme extenuating circumstances. You know, I can’t do this right now. I have 12 hours to convince judge smails to reconsider bonnie’s bail, so if you’d excuse me–

Xander: Wait, wait, did you say judge smails?

Justin: Yes, why?

Ej: So rafe’s collecting teddy bears now? How unconventional.

Nicole: Well, if you must know, I won this for him in an arcade game. It was kind of a birthday present.

Ej: Mm, and it’s in your possession because…?

Nicole: Well, because duke was–I don’t know, we were–

Ej: Duke?

Nicole: That’s his name.

Ej: Looks more like a sheriff to me. A rather useless one.

Nicole: I don’t have to explain anything to you.

Ej: Mm. I don’t see any possible explanation that wouldn’t be deeply embarrassing for rafe. But that’s rafe hernandez for you, one enormous embarrassment–

Nicole: Okay, would you stop talking about rafe?

Gabi: You know, the only way that ava would take the high road is if she took a wrong turn.

Rafe: Wow. Okay. Here’s the deal. I do not wanna wake up in a war zone every morning.

Gabi: Well, then tell the enemy to retreat.

Rafe: Okay, here’s– the other thing that you seem to fail to recognize is that i want to make this arrangement work, and so does ava. And since you have nowhere else to go at the moment, I would suggest you suck it up and apologize.

Ava: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That is not necessary.

Rafe: I think it is.

Gabi: What, you’re not gonna ask her to do the same thing?

Rafe: I haven’t heard her say anything that she needs to apologize for.

Gabi: I sure as hell have. Fine. I apologize and, I promise to be more respectful in the future.

Rafe: Maybe you could even say it like you mean it.

Gabi: I apologize, and i promise to be more respectful in the future. There–are you happy?

Jake: Keeping tabs on you? Brady, why would I do that? We’re on the same side here. We both wanna keep your uncle phil from running titan into the ground.

Brady: Now, I want that too. Despite working for the competition, I don’t wanna see my family’s legacy hurt at all. I want it to be okay. But the real question is, why do you care? You’ve been at titan for what– a couple weeks, maybe?

Jake: First of all, I don’t wanna see gabi’s company go down in flames. And secondly, I don’t want a boss who’s got his head up his ass.

Brady: [Laughs] Well, who would you want the boss to be, jake? Maybe you?

Philip: I hope you know how hard I’m working to turn over a new leaf.

Chloe: I know you are. When you came home last night and saw me talking to brady, I could tell that your head wanted to explode, but you were very understanding, and that was nice. It was civilized, it was…

Philip: The way it should be. I do feel bad for accusing him of corporate espionage.

Chloe: But you said you found out some new information, right?

Philip: I think I might actually know who put spyware on my computer.

Chloe: Who?

Philip: This stays between us?

Chloe: Yeah, of course.

Philip: It was gabi and jake. They were working together to get rid of me and take over titan.

Chloe: Oh, my god. After you gave them both a chance.

Philip: I still need to find the proof, but when I do, those two are gonna regret ever thinking they could play me for a fool.

Woo! You are busy…

Chloe: So how did you find out that jake and gabi were really the spies?

Philip: An old business associate tipped me off. Then I remembered when it first told me that they’d found a keylogger on my laptop, I accused gabi of putting it there.

Chloe: And she denied it?

Philip: Even though i caught her red-handed in my office using my computer because hers supposedly wouldn’t start. And right after that, my machine got all glitchy.

Chloe: You should’ve just fired her on the spot.

Philip: I did. Her and jake. But then he said that she was having tech problems as well, and I should have it check her laptop too. And what do you know–spyware.

Chloe: Do you think that they planted spyware proactively?

Philip: Seems that way. But as soon as the heat was off of them, they put it right onto brady. Made me think he was behind it.

Chloe: Which is why you freaked out on him and insisted that I quit my job.

Philip: I’m sorry about that. But my god, it’s all making sense now. Why gabi wanted me to hire jake, why she was soaking suspicion at brady.

Chloe: Well, you know now that brady wasn’t in on it with them. And when I spoke to him last night, he told me he was perfectly happy working at basic black, and he has no interests in using any hostile tactics against titan or us.

Philip: It wasn’t easy to apologize for pointing the finger at him. But I have to admit–the three of us sitting down for a nice, peaceful meal was pretty nice.

Chloe: Yeah. And I think that brady would agree. And now you have to uphold your end of the bargain and never badmouth brady to me again. Promise?

Philip: Not another word against him. I promise.

Chloe: Well, that is a relief, thank you. And I’m sure if you need some help busting jake and gabi, brady will be very happy to help your cause.

Jake: What? You–you think i wanna be the boss?

Brady: Jake, when you and gabi came to me and asked me to talk to my grandfather, I suspected you had ulterior motives, all right?

Jake: No. We approached you because philip’s been acting like a crazy person, okay? Erratic, unfocused– Brady: That part I believed. That part I believed. But now you’re in my place pumping me for information.

Jake: Just curious, that’s all.

Brady: I’ll give you a fun fact, all right? I’ve been ceo of titan not once, not twice, a couple of times. I can smell when the sharks are circling, jake. You know what I mean? So if you want this coup attempt to be successful, you’re gonna have to be a little more slick than this.

Jake: Cool. Brady, get real here. Nobody is gonna make a brand-new employee ceo, right?

Brady: Come on, man. You enjoyed a meteoric rise from a what–mechanic to dimera ceo–till you got thrown out on your ass. And then what happened? Boom–you land at titan with your girlfriend. You’re kidding me? Are you sure you don’t want you and gabi to be the next big power couple in salem?

Jake: Never thought about it that way.

Brady: You can cut the crap now. You and gabby have been used to running your own company. I know you have ideas. You have visions for the future, and you want philip out of the way, right?

Jake: Come on, brady, let’s be honest. Don’t you want the same thing?

Ava: Thank you for your apology, gabi.

Gabi: Go choke on a ravioli.

Ava: She could’ve said a lot worse.

Rafe: Yeah, you could’ve said a lot worse.

Ava: Listen, gabi is her own worst enemy.

Rafe: Could not agree with you more there.

Ava: You know, people used to say the same thing about me. That I couldn’t get out of my own way–and they were absolutely right. You know, most of the heartache that I’ve experienced in my life, a lot of it’s been brought on by myself. Self-inflicted, you know. I’m afraid that gabi is about to go in the same road.

Justin: Do you know judge smails?

Xander: He’s the one who threw the book at me. And as an officer of the court, you should know he’s corrupt as hell.

Justin: Hmm. What makes you say that?

Xander: When ej was my attorney, he got smails to drop the charges against me.

Justin: Well, you weren’t complaining then.

Xander: I agreed to pay mr. Dimera $1 million in exchange for his services. I had the cash all ready to go–

Gwen: And then bonnie stole it.

Xander: And then the police seized it. When I couldn’t pay up immediately, ej punished me by getting the charges reinstated. Now, you tell me, if smails is on the up-and-up, how could that happen? Before you go into that court, you should know that the man you’re dealing with might not necessarily be swayed by the facts of the case.

Gwen: Mm. Not like the facts of our case are really that persuasive, are they? So maybe you and xander can help each other. Yeah.

Limu emu & doug

Justin: How do you think xander and I could possibly help each other?

Gwen: Okay. The judge is dirty, yes. So you use that to encourage him to see bonnie’s case in a more favorable light and do right by xander.

Justin: I have no evidence judge smails has done anything wrong.

Gwen: Don’t worry, we’ll get the evidence. You just get the ball rolling, yeah?

Justin: Oh, so you’re suggesting that I blackmail the judge using evidence I don’t have that he himself is corrupt? Sounds like a winning strategy.

Gwen: Okay, you have to see the bigger picture here, though, okay? Wouldn’t the citizens of salem be well served if we could get this guy out of ej’s pocket?

Justin: Oh, well, I appreciate you reframing this as issue of social importance. But I’ve sworn an oath to the court, and what you’re proposing isn’t exactly kosher.

Gwen: Mm, yeah, well, you are engaged to bonnie lockhart– I would say that the ship’s sailed on being kosher, darling.

Justin: I have a defense to prepare.

Gwen: No–okay, okay, okay. Listen. Let’s say that the judge is as fair and impartial as they come, right? Do you honestly–do you honestly think that bonnie is going to get off on two murder charges? That is a very steep mountain to climb, my friend, no matter how good of a lawyer you are. And let’s say that the judge is crooked–doesn’t care about justice, just wants to get paid, right? And you refuse to cooperate. You gonna lose, no matter how strong your argument is. Either way, it doesn’t look good, does it? You can’t really just roll the dice here, justin. You have to take control, yeah? Don’t you want a future with the woman that you love, justin?

Justin: Hypothetically speaking, if ej did bribe the judge, I suppose one could trace the transactions.

Xander: No, it’s not bribery. It wouldn’t make sense for ej to pay money to someone just to get his own money back.

Gwen: No, ej got to him some other way–we just have to figure out how.

Justin: This sounds like a fishing expedition to me.

Gwen: Yeah, but well worth it if we can hook the big one, yeah?

Ej: It seems I’ve hit a nerve.

Nicole: Rafe and i are friends, you know that.

Ej: I do. And I can’t stand the man. But that doesn’t give me license for being rude. I apologize. And you look stunned.

Nicole: You never apologize.

Ej: Only on the rarest of occasions. I had no idea the commissioner was such a sensitive subject. There isn’t something going on between the two of you, is there?

Nicole: No, definitely not.

Ej: Forgive me for being forward, but I’m getting the sense that you wish there were.

Rafe: So any word from philip on that job you applied for at titan?

Ava: Not yet.

Rafe: Ah.

Ava: I know it’s a long shot. I don’t exactly have a ton of skills.

Rafe: Mm. I don’t know about that.

[Both chuckle]

Ava: It’s been a long time since I have worked in corporate america. I do know how to get what I want, but I think that titan might frown on some of my methods.

Rafe: Probably, yeah. I was actually surprised you wanted to work there, considering your history with philip.

Ava: Well, being a chef didn’t really turn out, and it doesn’t look like basic black will, either, so kind of my last option.

Rafe: I hope it works out.

Ava: Me too. And victor kiriakis was in the mob back in the day, so I think it’s a place that I really might fit in.

Brady: Look, jake. I don’t want any part in taking down titan. I like my job and i like where I’m at. But while we’re putting all our cards out on the table here, was it you and gabi that put that keylogger on phillip’s computer?

Jake: I don’t know what a keylogger is. And as you pointed out, I’m just a grease monkey. Obviously, gabi didn’t put a keylogger in her own computer, so your theory needs work.

Brady: All right. Well, I gotta get to the office, so if you excuse me.

Jake: Uh, you never told me how your talk with your grandfather went.

Brady: No, I didn’T. My grandfather is pleased with what philip is doing at titan.

[Phone ringing] And that’s really all you need to know, so if you’ll excuse me. Have a good day. Hey, granddad. Yeah, yeah, I have given it some thought, and– look, I know that you think that philip would be less distracted without chloe in the picture, but you need to know that I have no interest in getting between the two of them. And I’m sorry.

Dayquil severe for you…

Gwen: Don’t you want to beat ej at his own game by getting the goods on this judge?

Xander: I certainly do. But I won’t be able to do much detective work from my cell.

Gwen: Well, you just leave that to me and justin.

Justin: Oh, I didn’t say I was on board with this plan. Oh, okay, I gotta go meet bonnie; excuse me.

Gwen: No, but xander still needs an attorney! Dammit.

Xander: Well, he didn’t say he was on board, but he didn’t say he wasn’T.

Ej: Dudley do-right is dating a mob princess.

Nicole: Ex-mob princess. And watch it. Ava’s vitali is my friend too.

Ej: Even though she stole your man?

Nicole: Rafe was never my man.

Ej: But you’d like him to be.

Nicole: Okay, would you stop it, please? I am in the middle of a divorce, and I am not ready to move on. And ava and rafe just started a new relationship, and it seems to be working. So I decided to just take myself out of the equation.

Ej: Do you really think it’s for the best? Because you look miserable.

Nicole: I have a lot of work to do.

Ej: On the other hand, as much as I hate seeing my favorite ex-wife unhappy, my experience with ava vitali says staying out of her way is a wise move.

Rafe: I gotta get to work.

Ava: Mm. I put in some of those cookies you like.

Rafe: Thanks.

Ava: Yeah. Hey, rafe, I hope you know that I would never wanna cause a problem between you and gabi.

Rafe: I know. I know that. And I appreciate that you are making the effort to get along with her. I just wish that she would do the same damn thing because– I’m telling you, if she doesn’t change her attitude, oh, she is not gonna like me choosing who stays or who goes.

Ava: You’re just saying that because of my ravioli.

Rafe: Oh, that’s definitely not it.

Ava: What?

Rafe: Okay. Maybe it’s a part of it.

Ava: [Chuckles]

Gabi: How’d it go with brady?

Jake: He was a little suspicious. I, uh, I think I came on a little too strong.

Gabi: Oh, well, we have no choice now that ej stole my house out from under me. We have to get aggressive, and we have to get this plan moving. So is victor gonna fire philip?

Jake: No. But I did come up with a very interesting piece of information.

Philip: I don’t need brady’s help to bust gabi and jake. He is the competition, after all.

Chloe: Yeah, well, so am I, but I’m still 100% on your side.

Philip: Thank you.

Chloe: So I assuming the next step is to fire them again?

Philip: I wish I could. But if I fire gabi, she could regain control of gabi chic. That was part of her deal– and it’s a hugely profitable division.

Chloe: Well, can’t you just fire jake then?

Philip: I’d tip my hand. I think I’m gonna wait until I’m ready to make my next move.

Chloe: What move is that?

Philip: Gabi’s trying to steal my company. Maybe I try to steal hers. Shingles?

Gwen: Okay. Even if justin doesn’t help us, we still need to find a way to prove that this judge is on the take.

Xander: Would be so much easier if he was taking money. How are we supposed to get to him if we don’t know what he wants?

Gwen: I think I have an idea.

Justin: Rafe, bonnie was supposed to be brought up from her cell. What’s the delay?

Rafe: Yeah, I actually just got word from judge smails that her visiting privileges have been restricted due to bad behavior.

Justin: What bad behavior?

Rafe: It’s bonnie lockhart. Could be anything.

Justin: She’s my fiancéE.

Rafe: Right. Then you know.

Nicole: Ava has changed since the last time you knew her. She has completely given up her old life.

Ej: But we both know she’ll revert to type, eventually.

Nicole: I don’t think so. She lost a son. And her other son means the world to her. She won’t do anything to jeopardize what they have.

Ej: Rafe will be ruing his terrible taste–though i suppose he’s always been attracted to bad girls. I hope you know you can do much better than that dolt. In fact, you have.

Nicole: What, with you?

Ej: Who else would I mean?

Nicole: Not that you have a big ego or anything?

Ej: I thought you liked my big ego.

Nicole: I, uh, have a lot of work to do.

Ej: [Chuckles] As do I. And when we’re both finished with work, I say we go and get a lovely dinner. Together.

Brady: Oh, hi.

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Are those from philip?

Chloe: Yeah, of course. Who else?

Brady: They’re beautiful. Very nice.

Chloe: Yeah, they are very nice, aren’t they? So did you tell victor that you’re not gonna take him up on his suggestion to try to steal me away from philip?

Brady: I did. And I got an earful, as expected, but you have my word, chloe. If things don’t work out with you and philip, it’s not gonna be because of me.

Gabi: So victor wanted brady to break up chloe and philip? Are you sure?

Jake: That’s what i heard him say. But he refused to go along with it.

Gabi: Hmm. This could be very useful information, because chloe is the achilles’ heel we’re gonna use to bring down philip.

Ava: Have you given any more thought to our conversation?

Philip: Yes. And I have a question.

Ava: Ask away.

Philip: How would you like to help me bring down gabi hernandez?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ciara: And ben, just be honest now, okay? If you’re saying that you don’t wanna pass down your bad genes to our baby, does that mean you might never wanna have a baby with me?

[Crying]

Ben: I did not say that.

Ciara: Okay, well it sounds like you did. Ben, want to have kids. I do. And if you don’t, I mean, isn’t that something you should have talked to me about before I married you?

Chanel: How can you call your movie “the sami brady story” if it’s all about your grandmother?

Johnny: My mom has had a very interesting life. But demonic possession? I mean, my movie could become a classic, like “the exorcist”! Except better, because it’s true.

Chanel: Are you sure you should be messing with this stuff?

Johnny: Of course I’m sure. It’s great material.

Chanel: Yeah, but–

[Sighs]

Johnny: But what?

Chanel: Don’t you think some people might find it a little…sacrilegious?

Marlena: Put that damn thing away! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I guess you’re right. I guess you’re right, you know? This whole conversation, all these bad memories, I guess I’m just a little bit on edge.

Allie: Hey.

Tripp: Hey. I know I’m a little early. I hope that’s okay.

Allie: Yeah, no. It’s great. Come in. Henry’s asleep and dinner is in the oven. Chicken and mashed potatoes.

Tripp: You’ve been baking all day for work and you’re making me dinner? You didn’t have to do that.

Allie: I wanted to. And I know you’re coming off a long shift at the hospital.

Tripp: Yeah, it was a rough day, you know? But I do have some news to share about doug.

Allie: Oh, no. Grandpa roman said he was having some tests done because he was having some issues with his memory.

Tripp: I’m afraid things got a lot more serious.

Julie: I wish marlena had let me go in there with her.

Eli: Grandma, come on. You gotta trust her. All right, I’m sure she’s knows what she’s doing.

Julie: I trust her, darling. I trust her as a doctor. I trust her as a friend. But remember what doug said to me when I said she’ll be on her way? He said marlena is the one who needs help. What did he mean by that?

Eli: I don’t–maybe he was just confused. But marlena, she’s gonna get to the bottom of it.

Demon marlena: Well, doug, it appears you’ve been a little tattletale.

[Tuts] We can’t have that. Isn’t it ironic that I persuaded marlena to let me into her in order to save your life? And now I’m gonna take it anyway.

Doug: No. No.

Demon marlena: Of course family and friends will be devastated! But they’ll think you died of natural causes. But it’s going to be anything but natural causes.

[Demonic growling]

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Ciara: Ben, we both talked about wanting kids together.

Ben: I know. And I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you. That’s not what I’m trying to do.

Ciara: Why didn’t you say anything, ben?

Ben: Because I don’t think I even admitted it to myself before, until you said you wanted to stop using birth control, and then everything just got real, fast. And I love you so much. I want to give you everything you want. I really do.

Ciara: Yeah, but you already have! Baby, don’t you get how happy you make me? That’s why I wanted to have a baby with you in the first place.

Ben: I know that. I know that. I’m afraid. I’m afraid because I don’t want to have a baby and have him turn out like me. I’m not trying to bring evil into this world right now.

[Crying]

Marlena: No, stop! Don’t do this!

Demon marlena: Your friend marlena is trying to stop me from doing what I have to do. You see, she hasn’t entirely given herself over to my powers yet. But she will.

Marlena: No, I won’t! You can’t make me hurt him!

Demon marlena: Yes, I can, and I will. We can’t have doug sharing our little secret.

Limu emu & doug

Chanel: I just think you’re playing with fire.

Johnny: You have to take chances in this life, chanel.

Chanel: What you’re talking about is a lot riskier than just “taking chances.” You are literally tempting the devil to walk right through that door.

Tony: Good evening.

Chanel: Oh, my god!

Johnny: Relax. Relax. It’s just my uncle tony. Uncle tony, this is chanel.

Tony: Ah, chanel. Pleasure. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you.

Chanel: No, it’s not you. Johnny just had me watch “the exorcist,” so I’m just a little jumpy.

Tony: “The exorcist”? That’s not exactly fun. My idea of fun is watching billy wilder. “Sunset boulevard,” “double indemnity,” “some like it hot.” Actually, that’s anna’s favorite. You know, maybe I should just go and see anna and see if she’d like to see it now.

Johnny: Uncle tony, wait. There’s actually something I wanted to ask you about, since you had a ringside seat.

Tony: To what?

Chanel: Your nephew wants to make a movie about when his grandmother was possessed by the devil.

Tony: Really? You failed to mention that to me when you asked me to invest.

Johnny: I didn’t know at the time.

Tony: Ah, I see. Well, if you’re looking for me to reconsider, I would say that that particular subject is hardly enticing.

Johnny: Look, I know you can’t help with the financing because my dad thinks you’d be “acting against the best interests” of his precious company, but you could still be a consultant.

Tony: And what would i be contributing?

Johnny: Well, you were there. You saw the whole thing up close and personal, when the devil tried to tempt my grandpa john into sleeping with your wife.

Tony: Wrong. I didn’t see it up close and personal. As a matter of fact, I didn’t see it at all.

Johnny: What? But I–

Tony: Look, johnny, that wasn’t me.

[Phone beeps]

[Line rings]

[Phone rings]

Julie: Hello?

John: Hey, julie. It’s john. Has doc seen doug yet?

Julie: She is in there with him now. But eli and I haven’t heard a thing yet.

John: Oh, hopefully we’ll hear something soon.

Julie: I feel terrible about asking her to come down here so late, but doug was asking for her. At least I think he was. I just feel rotten about interrupting your evening.

John: No, no, no. No, no, julie, absolutely no need to apologize.

Julie: I’ve been trying to say my rosary, and I am so upset and I am so worried, I can’t even concentrate on that.

John: I hear you on that. I just sat down with the bible to read psalm 23, hoping it would bring a little inner peace, but no such luck. Hey, I’ll tell you what. How about if I come down to the hospital and you and i head on over to the chapel, and we’ll say a prayer together. How does that sound?

Julie: Oh, john, that would be wonderful.

John: I’m on my way.

Julie: Thank you.

[Phone beeps] John’s coming down here to pray with me.

Eli: I’m sure that’ll make you feel a lot better.

Julie: I’ll tell you what would make me feel better: Getting some answers, finding out what in the world is going on with my husband, and why is it taking so long?

Eli: Grandma, it’s only been a few minutes.

Julie: Well, it seems like forever. I want to check on him. I want to see how he’S… but if I rush in there, barge in– I don’t want to upset him.

Eli: Okay, then why don’t you let me check on him?

Julie: You’d do that?

Eli: Yes. Of course, grandma. I’ll be back.

Tripp: And how was your day? Thank you.

Allie: Uh, can’t complain. The bakery did really well again, and I’m starting to recognize a lot of, like, repeat customers.

Tripp: Ah, that’s great.

Allie: Yeah. Oh, and on my lunch break, I ran into my brother.

Tripp: How did that go?

Allie: Actually, pretty well. He forgave me for the issues that I caused for him and chanel.

Tripp: Good. I’m glad he let that go.

Allie: Yeah, me too. Though it probably helped that his mind was on other things, like his movie.

Tripp: Is he still trying to convince you to play your mom?

Allie: Actually, we didn’t talk about that, because he was too focused on this weird family secret that he uncovered in will’s script.

Tripp: Oh. And what secret would that be?

Allie: That my grandma marlena was possessed by the devil.

Tripp: [Chokes]

Demon marlena: Stop fighting me, marlena. You’re not strong enough to resist me.

Marlena: No. You’ll never win! Never!

Demon marlena: No. Doug has to die. He knows too much.

Eli: Hey, everything okay in here?

[Thunder rumbles]

Ciara: You…you are not evil, ben. And our child wouldn’t be either.

Ben: Maybe not evil, but– you know mental illness runs in my family.

Ciara: Yeah, well, it runs in a lot of families.

Ben: Not like mine. Ciara, I was a murderer. My sister was a murderer.

Ciara: Hey, it was because of clyde. It was because of clyde. If he hadn’t abused you like that… what you and jordan did, that wasn’t inevitable, ben. That was circumstantial.

Ben: I don’t want anyone to feel that way.

Ciara: What way?

Ben: The way jordan did when my mother was pregnant with me. I don’t want anybody to think that my child would be better off dead than with me as a parent.

Ciara: Look at me. Baby, look at me. Look at me. Look at me. No one is gonna think that.

Ben: You don’t know that.

Ciara: Yes, I do. Yes, I do, ben. You faced your demons. You overcame them. And you said that my love helped you do that. At our wedding, you said that you were broken, and that my love fixed you.

Ben: It did.

Ciara: So just let my love do that again. I want to help you face this. We have overcome every single challenge we have ever faced. And we can overcome this, okay? I have no doubt in my mind.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Ben: No matter how much you love me, you can’t change my dna or control what traits I pass down to our children.

Ciara: But your genes don’t control your destiny. I mean, look at me. I was born with great genes.

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: And I was still headed down a bad path. But my parents guided me in the right direction. Without them, who knows where I would be? It was the way I was raised that mattered the most.

Ben: I was raised by a monster.

Ciara: And so it makes sense. It makes sense that you had demons, baby. But later on in life, you finally got that nurturing that you were deprived of as a kid in the form of therapy from your doctors at bayview and marlena and–

Ben: You.

Ciara: Me. Me. And it’s because of that care that you are now on the right path. And I know our child will be too. Because we’re gonna give him unconditional love. Ben, I know in my heart that you would make the most amazing father. Like, you would be the best, and that would make all the difference.

Johnny: What do you mean it wasn’t you, uncle tony? It says right here in will’s script that you were married to aunt kristen, but she was in love with grandpa john. By the way, how did that happen? Aren’t you two brother and sister?

Tony: We’re not related by blood.

Johnny: Okay. So anyway, she didn’t want to leave you because you were blind, and grandpa john apparently was a priest at the time.

Tony: Oh. “Tony” should be in quotes.

Johnny: What are you talking about?

Tony: Well, everybody thought it was me. Even kristen was fooled. But it was my evil cousin andre.

Johnny: You two look exactly alike.

Tony: Well, that’s because he had plastic surgery to look like me. Only I turned out to be much more winsome, witty, and wise. Anyway, as I was saying, I was stranded on some deserted island when andre was running around salem posing as me.

Chanel: White people are crazy.

Tony: Uh-huh.

Johnny: So you’re telling me you didn’t witness any of the devil stuff?

Tony: No, I’m afraid not. I wasn’t here when all this allegedly happened to your grandmother.

Johnny: Allegedly?

Tony: Well, yeah. Yes, it wasn’t– as I said before, I wasn’t here. What you need to do is to find someone who actually lived through it. Back in the ’90s, when it all went down.

Allie: It was back in the ’90s when my grandma marlena was possessed by the devil, and supposedly she terrorized the town for months.

Tripp: And you’re just hearing about this now?

Allie: Well, yeah. I mean, it’s not something my family likes to talk about, obviously.

Tripp: Or will made it up for his movie.

Allie: I thought that too. But then I talked to my grandpa john. And he said it was all true.

Tripp: You don’t really believe that, do you?

Allie: He was pretty convincing.

Tripp: I’m sorry, allie. I just don’t buy it.

Julie: Thank you. Thank you so much.

John: Julie, it’s me. You don’t have to thank me. Doc and I, we love you and doug, and obviously we’re very concerned about this.

Julie: I know. When kayla ran those tests and they were inconclusive, and then marlena stepped up and said she’d give her assessment, I was so grateful. Who better to analyze his bizarre behavior and the things he’s been doing and…and they had their session, ad he collapsed. And I was terrified.

John: Okay, well, hey, julie, he’s stable now and doc’s in there with him. She’s trying again.

Julie: I’m so grateful. I know I’m asking a lot of her, coming down to the hospital in the night like this, and…she would never say anything, I know, but you must let me know if this is burdensome to her.

John: Why would I even think that?

Julie: She seemed a little stressed, john.

John: Well, she’s dealing with something, but it’s nothing compared to what doug’s going through. And I know how important it is for her to help him right now.

Julie: Well, I don’t want to impose on our friendship, so I’ll count on you to tell me if it’s just too much.

John: Well, of course I will. You know that. But right now, our spouses are together, and one is trying to heal the other, so what do you say you and I, we go on down to the chapel and we say a prayer for both of ’em?

Eli: Is everything okay?

Marlena: Yes. I was just trying to make doug a little more comfortable.

Eli: How’s he doing? Were you able to ask him what he meant when he told julie that “he went into her”?

Marlena: No, not yet. We were on the verge of that conversation when you came in, so… if you just step outside, we can continue.

Doug: No, no! Please, don’T. Don’t leave me! Please! On the outside, I looked fine.

Johnny: Who else in the family can I talk to about what happened?

Tony: Well, certainly not andre. Poor thing is no longer with us. Why don’t you ask john?

Johnny: Allie spoke to him. He told her the whole story, said it was all true. But he made it very clear that he never wanted to discuss that topic again. My mom hasn’t called me back, and no one has any idea where aunt kristen is, so…

Tony: Well, that’s probably for the best.

Johnny: I’m sorry?

Tony: What I was saying is, why don’t you go directly to the source and ask marlena?

Johnny: [Scoffs] I don’t think john would be cool with that.

Tony: Perhaps that’s a sign. You know what they say. Sometimes the past is best left buried. Enchantée, chanel.

Chanel: Nice to meet you, mr. Dimera.

Tony: Nice to meet you, too. Johnny.

Johnny: Right.

Chanel: I’d hate to say I told you so, g, but I think you’d be doing everyone in this town a big favor if you just dropped this whole movie idea.

Johnny: [Sighs]

Eli: Why is doug so freaked out?

Marlena: Well, I think he’s just tired of being in the hospital. You won’t be here much longer. I promise. Now, if you would be good enough to leave us alone…

Doug: No, eli! Don’t go!

Eli: You know, my grandmother and john, they went to the chapel to pray. I think julie wanted you to meet them there.

Doug: Yes. Julie.

[Machines beeping]

Marlena: Fine. Fine.

Tripp: Look, as someone who firmly believes in science, I just think there has to be a rational explanation.

Allie: Like what?

Tripp: I would hypothesize that marlena was suffering from a neurobiological disorder, something along the lines of schizophrenia.

Allie: I don’t think that schizophrenia would explain her levitating several feet off her bed.

Tripp: That happened too?

Allie: According to grandpa john, yes.

Tripp: Is there any proof?

Allie: Like, a video or something? Not that I know of. But my grandfather saw it firsthand, and a few other people did too.

Tripp: It could be mass hysteria.

Allie: Wow, you really are a skeptic.

Tripp: Look, here, let me borrow your laptop. I’ll prove to you that I’m right.

Ciara: I mean, just tonight, you proved that you’re gonna be an amazing father.

Ben: What are you talking about?

Ciara: Well, when we came back, I was a wet and sloppy mess, and you told me that i looked perfect.

Ben: Because you did. You always look perfect.

Ciara: Mm. And that is exactly what you would say to our daughter if she came home from kindergarten with a painting of a cat that looks like a hamburger. You would tell her that it was perfect.

Ben: Mm. Our daughter, huh?

Ciara: Mm. Wouldn’t you love to have a little girl?

Ben: Long as she looked like you. What if we had a boy?

Ciara: Well, then bo brady weston would be as amazing and as handsome as his father. Either way, our kid would know their way around an engine.

Ben: Mm. For sure.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: That’s true.

Ciara: Baby, I know I’m right about how amazing you are gonna be as a father. I know I am. But I also know that I’m not gonna change your mind in just one conversation. So we don’t have to settle this tonight, okay?

Ben: You sure you’re not upset with me for hiding how I really felt?

Ciara: No. Mm-mm. I’m just glad that you told me the truth. So we can just put this baby conversation on the back burner, okay? Because right now, I just want to be with you. I just want us to love each other. That is all I want. Frequent heartburn? Not anymore.

Johnny: I’m not giving up on my film.

Chanel: Okay, but do you really want to spend the rest of the night talking about the devil?

Johnny: No, I don’T.

Chanel: So maybe we can do something else? Whoa, whoa, what if your uncle comes back?

Johnny: Well, we could go upstairs. We’d have total privacy up there. And just so you know, I have protection this time.

Tripp: Okay, see, this article says that there has never been any substantial proof of a demonic possession. Okay? Nothing caught on video. Nothing that can’t be explained away by trickery or science.

Allie: Okay, but there are many instances where exorcisms are successful. So, I mean, how do you explain the victims getting better?

Tripp: Power of suggestion. You know, if you truly believe that you’re possessed and a priest performs a sacred ritual, you’re gonna believe it worked.

Allie: And you think that’s what happened to my grandmother?

Tripp: I’d bet money on it.

Allie: [Sighs]

John and julie: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light…

Doug: She…she…

Eli: Wait, who, doug? Who are you talking about? Julie? Marlena?

Doug: Marlena…

Eli: Okay, doug, look, I– no, no, no, hey. Don’t get worked up, okay? Look, you really gotta just relax. It can wait.

Doug: No, it can’T.

Eli: Doug, c’mon. Julie’s on her way, all right?

Doug: I need to say it now. Listen to me. Please.

John and julie: O divine master, grant that I shall not seek so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Julie: Saint francis. He really tells us how to walk in the light.

John: Julie, you don’t have to put on a brave face for me. I know that the man you love more than anything in this world is suffering right now. I know how hard that is.

Julie: Doug is my world.

John: I know. And your love and your prayers, they’re gonna get him through this.

Julie: Do you really believe it, john?

John: Oh, I believe that with all my heart. Julie, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a time years ago when I almost lost marlena, when she was taken from us, when she was doing things that were truly evil, horrifying. It was such a frightening time. But no matter how dark things got, I never gave up. And I know that it was my love and my prayers that brought her back to me.

Julie: It must’ve been terrible for you.

John: But you see, it didn’t drive us apart. It brought us together. It reinforced our bond. And it taught me something. It taught me that no matter what challenges life throws our way, we can get through them together. Together, we can face anything. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Allie: Okay, I get what you’re saying. And I would probably share your skepticism, except that when grandpa john told me about it, he was visibly shaken. I mean, he even admitted to being scarred, especially because he had to perform the exorcism.

Tripp: Are you saying that your grandfather used to be a priest?

Allie: I’m a little fuzzy on that part. But I trust grandpa john. And if he says that my grandmother was possessed, that’s enough for me.

Marlena: Oh, john, I’m glad you’re here.

John: Oh, of course I’m here, sweetheart.

Julie: How is doug?

Marlena: Oh, doug has been through a lot. He’d like to see you, julie.

Julie: Oh, good. Before I go, I wanna thank you, marlena, for coming back here tonight. And doug thanks you too.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure how much I helped him, but I tried my best.

Julie: Why, I know you did. And he really needed you.

[Sighs] In his confusion, poor darling, he said you were the one who needed help.

Marlena: Huh. Well, maybe he was right. Maybe I did need some help. And I found it.

Chanel: Ooh, you’ve got protection? So you thought we were gonna have sex tonight?

Johnny: No! No, not at all. I just–I wanted us to be safe if and when it happens.

Chanel: Mm. Well, it is not happening tonight, romeo.

Johnny: Is this because of what my sister said? All that stuff she said about me?

Chanel: About you being a total player, and all you’re interested in is getting me in bed, and then you’ll lose interest?

Johnny: That is not true, chanel. I am very interested in spending time with you and eating pb&j with you, talking, laughing, hanging out.

Chanel: I like that too. You know, when we met, we went from 0 to 60 really fast.

[Sighs] But, you know, maybe we can just slow things down a bit.

Johnny: We could watch more movies.

Chanel: As long as no one’s head is spinning around.

Johnny: Ah, I think you actually liked that, even though you were scared.

Chanel: I was definitely scared. But I admit it was kinda fun.

Johnny: Yeah, for me, too. Actually, everything is fun with you.

Chanel: Well, maybe we can just do that for a while, have fun, before we end up in bed.

[Soft music]

 

Ciara: [Sighs] I am so impressed, dear husband, that you managed to get a restaurant in salem to recreate the first meal we had on our honeymoon. And I’ve gotta say, the bread pudding was as good as what we had in new orleans.

Ben: Well, guess what, my dear wife. There’s some general tso’s chicken right over there in that fridge for when we’re hungry later.

Ciara: Oh, are you planning on working up an appetite?

Ben: You already know it.

Ciara: No, wait, I can’t believe it’s been ten years.

Ben: Well, happy anniversary.

Ciara: Happy anniversary, mr. Weston, who I love more today than I did on the day that we got married. And I love this necklace. It’s perfect.

Ben: You’re perfect.

Ciara: Oh, gosh! Oh, I guess the…

[Toy squeaks] The babysitter wasn’t too strict on putting all the toys away.

Ben: I guess not.

Ciara: Oh, oh, sweetheart.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: What are you doing up? And where’s rita?

Bo: She was mean to me. So I punished her.

Ben: What happened, buddy?

Bo: She made me play with these toys instead of what I really wanted to play with.

Ciara: And what did you really want to play with?

Bo: Daddy’s necktie.

[Suspenseful music]

 

Ben: No, no, no! No!

[Breathing heavily] I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Ciara: Ben, are you okay?

Ben: I just had a nightmare.

Ciara: I can see that. What was it about?

Ben: Don’t really remember.

Ciara: Well… it was just a bad dream. Doesn’t mean anything, babe. I’m right here and I love you and everything is gonna be okay. I promise. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Johnny: I see what’s going on here. Yeah, you want me to woo you.

Chanel: Not the word I’d use, but yes.

Johnny: Well, okay. Prepare to be wooed.

Chanel: You sure you know how?

Johnny: Oh, yeah. No, you’d better brace yourself, because I am going to wine you, dine you, serenade you, the whole nine yards.

Chanel: Mm, well, I can’t wait. But, um, wooing aside, please don’t make that movie. Like I said, g, you’re playing with fire.

Johnny: Noted.

Doug: I need– I need to tell you now.

Julie: How’s he doing?

Eli: He’s been trying to tell me something, but he’s just wearing himself out.

Julie: Oh. Oh, darling. Darling, you don’t have to talk right now, sweetheart.

Doug: She was trying to–

Julie: Yes, yes. Marlena was trying to help you. And she’ll help you again. But right now, my precious one, you just need to sleep. You just rest. And we’ll talk about everything in the morning.

Marlena: Thank god you’re here. It’s as if you knew I needed you.

John: Well, since you give so much to the people you love, I think it’s important that you know that I’m always here for you to lean on.

Marlena: You are my rock.

John: I love you.

Marlena: I love you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Katie: Have you heard anything from justin since you texted him last?

Ridge: Nothing yet.

Katie: What do you think that means?

Ridge: I don’t know what it means. He followed quinn when she left and hopefully he’ll find out something.

Katie: Eric said that quinn was gonna be out this evening.

Ridge: That’s par for the course, isn’t it?

Katie: Where do you think she is? What do you think she’s doing?

Ridge: Who’s she doing it with? I have my suspicions, but I hope I’m wrong. For dad’s sake.

Quinn: Please, justin. You have to listen to us.

Carter: If you say a word about this to anyone–

Justin: See, that’s exactly it. I’m still not sure what this whole thing really is. You expect me to believe that a husband is allowing his wife to sleep with another man? As a matter of fact, encouraging it. Look, I’m no prude, but–

Carter: I realize it’s not something you hear about every day–

Quinn: Okay, we’re not running around behind anybody’s back. We’re not having an elicit affair. This was my husband’s idea.

Steffy: You’re not going anywhere near hayes.

Sheila: I just want a moment with him. With my grandson.

Steffy: If you take one more step to the nursery–

Sheila: Are you threatening me now?

Steffy: I’m protecting my son.

Sheila: You don’t need to protect him from me. I love him.

Steffy: You don’t know what that word means. Now get out.

Sheila: Not until I hold my grandson.

Steffy: You’re never gonna hold him again. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Sheila: Well, we’ll see about that, then, won’t we?

Steffy: You take one more step and I swear to god, sheila, you’re gonna be sorry.

Paris: Hey, hey.

Zende: There she is.

Paris: You’ve been looking for me?

Zende: So I can do this.

Paris: Oh. Glad I stopped by.

Zende: I’m glad you did, too. My day is not complete without one of your smiles. So, how’s everything?

Paris: Well, work is good. But you already knew that.

Zende: No, I guess I’m asking more about life at the beach.

Paris: What do you want to know?

Zende: Well, I know you’re grateful to finn and steffy for giving you a place to crash, but how long are you planning on hanging out there?

Paris: Oh, you think I’m overstaying my welcome?

Zende: No, I just meant that I thought, you know, you might like your own spot at some time, or…

Paris: Yeah, I know what you meant, but you’re right. All good things do have to come to an end. And this one does. And it has.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Okay, can we just not do this?

Steffy: Then go.

Sheila: I just… I just want to spend a moment with hayes. You can be with me the whole time.

Steffy: No! No.

Sheila: Oh, come on, steffy. How can you continue to deny a grandmother the opportunity to see her grandson.

Steffy: You’re never gonna be hayes’ grandmother. He’s never gonna know you exist.

Sheila: You don’t mean that. You can’t be that vindictive.

Steffy: Calling what you want, I’m doing what’s best for my son.

Sheila: You’re denying him family.

Steffy: He has family! He has finn, he has me, he has kelly. He doesn’t need you. You are not family! Now, for the last time, get out! Before I throw you out.

Finn: Steffy, what’s going– sheila.

Katie: Maybe you should text justin again. Maybe he didn’t get the first one.

Ridge: Maybe I got the wrong man on the job. He better not let me down.

Eric: Who better not let you down? What are you talking about?

Ridge: Nothing.

Eric: How can it be nothing when the two of you are so intense? What is it?

Justin: You’re telling me that eric’s really cool with this, the two of you?

Quinn: Look, we realize it’s shocking.

Carter: It’s hard to believe, justin, eric’s coming from a place of love.

Quinn: Right, I love eric. Eric loves me, he just can’t express that love physically like he used to.

Justin: Just, tag, you’re it. Just like that, huh?

Carter: Why am I even explaining myself to this– imagine our reaction when eric proposed it. He wants quinn to be fulfilled in every aspect of their marriage, so he found a way to make it work for himself, for quinn, and I have to respect that.

Justin: Of course you do! You’re the lucky recipient.

Quinn: Okay, look–

Justin: Get out!

Quinn: I realize how this looks to you, to anyone if this information got out, but this is my marriage. This is eric’s marriage. I’m asking you to respect the privacy between a husband and wife and their personal relationship. I’m not asking you to agree with it, or condone it. But nobody is getting hurt here, so please just forget what you saw. Forget that you know anything about this.

[ Scoffing ] – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Zende: No problem, I’ll get right on that.

Paris: You’re busy. I should go.

Zende: No, no, no. Not so fast. You still have to fill in some blanks. So, you are ditching your cozy digs in malibu, for where? Have you found a new place, yet?

Paris: I’m closing in on one.

Zende: Look, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m against you moving out of steffy and finn’s, but why now?

Paris: It was just time. I need to move on.

Zende: Okay. Well, I’m all for it. Means you and I get to have a little bit more alone time.

Paris: I would like that too.

Zende: Oh yeah?

Finn: What are you doing here?

Steffy: She got past the guard and bolted in here the moment you went surfing.

Finn: Why? Why would you do that when you know how steffy feels?

Sheila: All too clear, yes. But how do you feel, sweetheart? How do you feel about me? Your mother?

Steffy: Oh, for…

Ridge: I sent someone to do a job and now I’m wondering if maybe it was the wrong person, but it’s my problem, I’ll deal with it.

Eric: Am I getting the whole story here?

Ridge: Are we getting the whole story? You and quinn? I mean, what?

Eric: Oh, I wondered how long it would be for me to come in here before you asked me about my marriage.

Ridge: Dad, look–

Eric: You look, ridge. Both of you. Quinn and i are fine. My marriage is fine.

Ridge: Okay, how are you fine? You’re home alone and she goes out and does whatever she wants? What is that?

Eric: We have an arrangement, ridge.

Ridge: Okay, there’s that word again. Arrangement. What is it? What is your arrangement? What’s going on with you and quinn?

Justin: So, you want me to forget what I saw? Just kinda like unsee it, right? Pretend that you and carter, with eric’s permission, right? Pretend like this didn’t happen. Is that what you want me to do?

Quinn: Yes.

Justin: Oh, come on.

Quinn: Come on! For eric’s sake. Do you know how many doctors and therapists he’s been going to to try and fix his situation, and nothing has worked? And no matter how many times I’ve told him, that he is enough for me, that our love is enough for me, he’S… he’s determined. He thinks that this is the answer to a very delicate and sensitive situation. And even though, at first, I refused–

Carter: So did I.

Quinn: Ultimately, he convinced us. And this is just… it’s uncharted territory for all three of us.

Carter: Justin, if this were to get out–

Justin: What?

Carter: I’mma slow this down for you, eric made a decision to put his wife’s needs before his own. Okay?

Quinn: If this gets out, can you imagine what this is going to do to eric? Please, that’s why you can’t say anything. That’s why you have to keep this secret to yourself. Read my eyes.

Zende: You know I support you at anything you do, right? That’s the kind of relationship we have. Mutual support and admiration.

Paris: Oh, so that kiss just now is you showing me how much you admire me.

Zende: I do, a lot. You’re so positive, accomplished. You’re also smoking hot. Ouf!

Paris: I am so appreciative of you too, you’re kind, and you’re caring, and you’re so understanding.

Finn: You’re doing it again.

Sheila: What?

Finn: You’re putting me in the middle between you and my wife.

Sheila: Finn, I just want to know how you feel about me.

Finn: You already know how I feel. And why I can’t have anything to do with you. Look, I don’t want to hurt you, but your history with steffy and her–

Sheila: Please don’T.

Finn: Her family–

Sheila: Just don’T. Please don’T. Don’t do this. You and my grandson mean everything to me. I already lost you once for years, and years, and now we’re in a position to make up for lost time. Don’t turn your back on that. Please don’t turn your back on me. Your mother.

Ridge: I don’t want to upset you, I just, I’m trying to understand. Quinn betrayed you with another man. You were set to divorce her, and then out of nowhere, you change your mind. I’m trying to figure out why, because you don’t talk to me, you don’t talk to your family. No one you love. You don’t talk to anybody.

Katie: We’re just, we’re worried about you, eric. I mean, we want you to be happy, and you don’t seem happy. You just reconciled with your wife, a woman you supposedly love.

Ridge: But you’re leading separate lives. It seems that way to us. Do you know what she’s doing? Where she is? Where she’s going? Do you know any of that stuff?

Eric: Yes, I do. I know exactly what she’s doing. And I know where she is. I want you to drop this. I mean it, ridge. Drop it now.

Quinn: Look, I realize, I am not your favorite person. Bill has made sure of that over the years. But, I’m not asking you to keep quiet for me. I’m asking you to do this for eric.

Carter: If it were to become public knowledge, justin, people would never understand.

Quinn: Can you imagine if his family found out? I mean, eric having to tell them this. It would be humiliating to him. Please, don’t do that to eric. He’s dealing with enough. He shouldn’t have to go through any more. Please, justin. Just keep this to yourself. Please don’t tell ridge.

Bogeys on your

six, limu.

Ridge: Dad, come on. No one’s attacking you.

Eric: Ridge, stop this. Will you, please? I don’t want to hear another word about my marriage or about quinn. From either one of you, katie.

Katie: Eric, I’m sorry. You’re right. You have every right to your privacy.

Eric: Thank you.

Katie: Of course, that doesn’t mean that your friends and your family can’t be concerned– but, okay. Fine. No more. I’ll shut up. Can I still come over later?

Eric: Yes, that’ll be fine, as long as we don’t say anything about quinn. Or him.

Katie: Deal.

[ Phone beeping ]

Eric: Yeah? Yeah, she’s here. I’ll tell her. The new interns are gathered in the conference room downstairs.

Katie: Oh, okay. I just have to grab a few things from my office.

Eric: Good, I’ll come with. I want to see them as well.

Katie: Okay.

Quinn: What do you think justin will do?

Carter: Let’s just hope and pray we got through to him.

[ Sighing ]

[ Door opening ]

Ridge: Hey, it’s about time. Did you get my text?

Justin: Yes.

Ridge: Never mind. Did you follow quinn?

Justin: Yes.

Ridge: Okay. What did she do? Where did she go? Was she alone?

Quinn: I’m not asking you to keep quiet for me. I’m asking you to do this for eric. Just keep this to yourself. Please don’t tell ridge.

Ridge: Justin! Is she being unfaithful to my father?

Sheila: I know that I have begged and pleaded and I will do it again and again and again if that’s what it takes to have a place in yours and hayes’ lives. I gave you away once. And it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I was… I was so different back then. I’m a different person now, I am not the monster that she says I am. Just let me show you, please. Just give me that chance. Please, finn. Is that really too much to ask for? The opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with my son? One that we’ve both missed out on for far too long.

Finn: I wanna believe everything you say is true. And I really, really hope it is. But it doesn’t change the fact that I stand with my wifE. I’m sorry. Sheila, you gotta go.

Sheila: No, no. Don’t, don’t, don’t do this. Don’t let steffy come between us. Don’t–

Finn: I’ll see you to the door.

[ Sighing ] Goodbye.

[ Door closing ] It’s okay. I’m sorry.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Quinn: Justin?

Carter: What the hell, man? How’d you get in here?!

Justin: Oh, that’s what you’re worried about?

Quinn: No, I’m worried about what you’re doing here!

Justin: I know exactly what this is. Just save it, the both of you. You’re caught.

Ridge: Quinn is up to something.

Katie: Well, when is she not?

Ridge: I know. But this is different. I don’t know what it is, but I just… getting a bad feeling.

Katie: Well, what do you think she’s up to?

Ridge: No good. What that means, I don’t know. But um… we’ll find out. We’ll find out what she’s doing.

Steffy: I said get out!

Sheila: Steffy, please, just give me a chance.

Steffy: Get out! You are not supposed to be here.

Sheila: I just want to see my grandson and my son.

Steffy: You are never gonna see them. Never! Now, walk out the door right now! I said, get out!

Steffy: How– how did you get past my guard at the gate?

Sheila: I’m a mother that loves my grandson and my son. There’s nothing that’s gonna keep me away from them.

Steffy: You’re never going to see them again.

Sheila: Why are you so angry, steffy?

Steffy: Oh my god, oh my god. Don’t try to play me. I know what you’re doing. Finn told you to stay away and yet… yet here you are. You snuck onto my property? If finn knew you were doing this, he’d be so disappointed in you.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I know he’s not far because I– I saw him go down to the beach.

Steffy: Okay, it’s time for you to go. I mean it, sheila. You got five seconds.

Sheila: One thousand one… one thousand two… one thousand three… or what?

Katie: Do you really have someone keeping an eye on quinn?

Ridge: Ah, this is weird. I’m just getting strange vibes from her, so, yeah. I’m having someone follow her.

Katie: So, like, a private investigator?

Ridge: No, nothing like that. It’s uh… someone I know, someone who’s been scratching the underbelly of society for a long time.

Katie: Oh. Sounds like this person is used to working with a lot of low-lifes. So, where’d you find him?

Ridge: Spencer publications. Former employee.

Katie: Justin?

Justin: Ah! Nice place you got here. See you’re still hooking up with the boss’s wife? Even after eric allowed you to remain coo. You swore it was over; this is the thanks he gets?

Carter: Why are you here?

Justin: Huh. All alone in your apartment, hands all over each other, half-naked.

[ Laughing ] I know what I walked in on, quinn. Soon everyone else will, too. I thought I was getting my floors clean.

Steffy: You’re not welcome here, sheila. You never will be.

Sheila: I know that you were– were taken off guard, me just showing up. I probably should’ve reached out to you before coming here.

Steffy: That wouldn’t have made a difference. My feelings about you are never gonna change. Finn knows that. He doesn’t want you in his life. And the sooner you realize that, the better. Stop coming by here expecting to see people who don’t want to see you.

Sheila: People? Finn isn’t just anyone, he’s my son.

Steffy: And he told you to stay away, and you didn’t respect his wishes.

Sheila: Well, no, I did. I stayed away. I haven’t contacted him since the hospital.

Steffy: Do you want a medal for that?

Sheila: I’ve given him space, steffy.

Steffy: Yeah, like for a minute. Until you snuck back into my house!

Sheila: I could’ve rang the bell, but– look. I came to see you, woman to woman, mother to mother.

[ Stammering ] Since I’m here, I was hoping maybe I could… I could see hayes? Just for a little bit? Spend some time with my boys?

Katie: So, you hired justin barber?

Ridge: No, that’s not what I said. I didn’t hire him. He owed me a favor. And why not him? He’s a great lawyer.

Katie: Okay, sure. No one’s arguing that, but you’re not exactly using him for his legal prowess.

Ridge: I’m using him for research. What’s the difference?

Katie: “Research” into how quinn is spending her spare time?

Ridge: Research into finding out why she’s not at home at night anymore. Seems weird to me, so I’m trying to find out what that is.

Katie: Well, we all have our secrets. Quinn probably takes that to a whole other level.

Ridge: Yeah. My dad has no secrets. Open book. He always told us exactly what was going on. Not now. Doesn’t talk to anybody.

Katie: He’s definitely keeping us guessing, isn’t he?

Ridge: I don’t even care about that. I just don’t want his heart broken again.

Katie: Which is where justin comes in?

Ridge: Which is where justin comes in. Worth a shot.

Katie: You know, you two make an unlikely duo. Didn’t he throw you out of a helicopter one time?

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: That was bill’s idea. But if justin’s capable of doing that, then…

Katie: Then I guess he’s pretty much up for anything, huh?

Ridge: Yeah. But if I want to find out what somebody else is doing, if I want to find out what quinn is doing… justin’s the man for the job.

Carter: Why are you really here, man? Breaking into my place, chastising us? This is none of your business.

Justin: The person that I’m working for made it my business.

Quinn: Person that you’re working for– who? Bill? Bill put you up to this?

Justin: No. No, no, no. Bill and I aren’t speaking anymore. We had a falling out. I’m working for someone else. Someone that will be very interested in the two of you and your cheap, ongoing affair.

Carter: Okay, this is– this no one’s concern.

Justin: Hah. Obviously, it is.

Quinn: You have no idea what you walked in on. So, just– just tell us who it is. I know it’s not eric.

Justin: For the record, you two aren’t really good at this. Not even being discreet!

Quinn: Uh–!

Justin: Shameless. Not even bothered by the thought of hurting eric.

Carter: Just tell us who sent you.

[ Justin laughing ]

Justin: I’m not gonna stand here and play name games all day long. I’m working for ridge.

Carter: For ridge?

Justin: I didn’t stutter. You heard me.

Quinn: Okay, justin. Please, you… you can’t tell anyone about this. But you especially can’t tell ridge!

 

Sheila: Look, steffy, you’re a mom, too. You have– you have two beautiful, beautiful children–

Steffy: You made a choice! You put finn up for adoption when he was a baby.

Sheila: But I thought I was doing what was best at the time.

Steffy: And I’m doing what is best for him now. And that’s you staying far away from him and my son.

Sheila: But I’m not a monster.

Steffy: Oh yeah, you are.

Sheila: No, I’m not. I– I didn’t come here to cause you any trouble, I just– I just want to hold my grandson.

Steffy: You already held him! You did it last time when you came here without my permission.

Sheila: Look, just– just put your feet in my shoes for just a minute, because it would break your heart. This is breaking my heart!

Steffy: You need to stop with this obsession. You’re reliving this pattern over and over again. You’re going after my husband and my son? It’s really– it’s really starting to scare me.

Sheila: Look,

[ Stammering ] I don’t mean to frighten you. I understand how it would be difficult to trust me. I– I don’t have a great track record with your family.

Steffy: You tried to murder half of my family.

Sheila: I’m not that person anymore! I’m a grandmother and a mother that would just love to have a place in finn and hayes’s lives.

Steffy: You’re trying to make this sound so innocent.

Sheila: It’s because it is! It doesn’t have to be ugly or complicated. If you could just empathize with me on any level at all. Give me a chance to prove to you that I’m not the woman that i was back then. Please, please, steffy. Don’t keep me away from my son.

Ridge: I hate this. I hate all of it. But you know what? More than anything else, to see my dad waste time with this woman breaks my heart.

Katie: Well, he certainly does seem like he’s defending her an awful lot.

Ridge: And why is that? What does– what does she bring to the table? He just– he just seems upset all the time, no?

Katie: There were a lot of good years, you know, in the beginning, and eric was thriving. He seemed energized, really happy to have this new woman on his arm.

Ridge: But that was then. What about now? What’s happening now? It just– it seems this whole marriage is a chore.

Katie: You know my theory? He’s afraid of being alone, of having no one to go home to.

Ridge: Huh. I see. So, all the women in los angeles, southern california– let’s– let’s say he didn’t want to travel anymore. All women in walking distance–

[ Katie laughing ] This is the only option?

Katie: Okay, you– you’re preaching to the choir, okay? I have been trying to convince him that there are many, many women who would love to share a martini with him. I mean, he is the kindest man I–I have ever known. He’s so loyal and– and principled, and maybe to a fault.

Ridge: These are all great qualities. Qualities that quinn takes advantage of. Why would she stop now?

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: I don’t know. Maybe because she doesn’t want to lose him. You know, she pleaded with him to take her back. I just can’t imagine that she would be stupid enough to cheat on him again.

Ridge: Unless… it being quinn, likes to live on the edge. Unless she wants to be caught.

Quinn: If ridge were to find out–

Carter: What do we have to do to forget this ever happened?

Justin: Eric forgave you. You still have your job. You, too. You’re still his wife. He saw fit to give you another chance. Yet, here we are, creeping around behind his back. With him, again. I hope it was worth it.

Quinn: Okay, look. We have A… we have an understanding.

Justin: So, you’re not a married woman?

Quinn: Yes! No, I– I am a married woman. You just–you–you– you don’t have any idea what it is you walked in on.

Justin: Okay, quinn. You can keep telling yourself that. I feel terrible for eric. Oh, I hear he’s a sweet man. He’s not going to take this too well. This is going to be tough on him.

Quinn: Eric knows. Okay? He knows. He– he knows about me and carter. Eric gave us permission.

[ Quinn sighing ] Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Steffy: Nice try. But I’ll never believe you changed. Not after all the horrible crimes you’ve committed against my family.

Sheila: I’m a– I’m a different person. Now, I– I was really struggling with some dark demons back then.

Steffy: Ooh yeah, demons for sure. Too many to count. But I see you. I know who you are. You’re fake. You are so fake. Finn may have sympathy for you, but I don’T. And I feel bad for him. I feel so bad. He’s now realized what his birth mother is, who she is, and what she’s capable of. And that fake collapse, oh please. Get out of here. You know how terrified he was? He thought you were going to die, and he rushed you to the hospital.

Sheila: He rushed me because he cared about his mother.

Steffy: Well, thank god he realized it was all a manipulation, shut you down.

Sheila: That’s because of you. You gave him an ultimatum, steffy.

Steffy: He told you to stay out of his life and hayes’S. He did that to protect his family. He sees you for who you truly are. And now you come in here, disrespecting me and my family? You’re only alienating yourself more.

Sheila: Why do you force this hatred on finn? Why do you think you’re the gatekeeper? I– I mean, you’re hellbent on making sure that I never see them! I’m asking for one moment. One more time!

Steffy: No.

Sheila: That’s all I’m asking.

Steffy: No.

Sheila: Is he in the nursery?

Steffy: Do not do this. You take one more step and I promise you, you’re going to regret it.

Katie: Have you heard anything from justin since he left to follow quinn?

Ridge: No, he’s been gone a while. So maybe that’s good news. I’m texting him now.

Katie: I wonder if he’s found out anything interesting.

Justin: So, eric knows about this?

Carter: Yes, justin. Eric knows about this. In fact, it was his idea.

Justin: Come on. You expect me to believe that? No. No way. Eric doesn’t roll like that.

Quinn: It’s true. Why would I lie?

Justin: Cover your little ass.

Carter: She’s being straight with you, justin. Not that it’s your business.

Justin: Okay. Let’s say that you’re both not lying through your teeth. Give me one reason why eric would allow his wife to sleep with another guy.

Quinn: E.D.

Justin: E.D.? What?

Quinn: The reason that carter and I ended up together in the first place is because my husband showed no interest in me the bedroom.

[ Justin scoffing ]

Quinn: I found out later that the reason why he didn’t want to make love to me wasn’t because… wasn’t because he didn’t want to. It’s because he couldn’T.

Justin: He couldn’t?

Quinn: Right. He couldn’T. He was unable to. It was so difficult for him to share this information with me. Look. My husband is an incredible man. He’s very giving, and he’s– he’s very selfless, and he’s understanding. He didn’t want me to give up my intimate life because he wasn’t able to fulfill me anymore.

Justin: So, basically eric gave you permission?

Quinn: Yes! He did! And fought it. We fought it. But he just kept pushing and pushing because he believed that this was the only way to save our relationship. I… carter and I, we had a history, and… look, I know this is shocking.

Carter: Yes, yes, justin, it was very shocking. But eric, he basically insisted. Quinn’s not lying, okay? What she’s saying is fact.

Quinn: Look. I understand, okay. I understand it’s really hard to believe that eric would–would condone this kind of unconventional behavior, but I’m telling you. This was his idea, okay? And–he got it in his head that this is the only way that we were going to save our marriage. And we have had such a difficult time processing this, but I’m telling you, we’re not doing anything behind his back. We are not betraying him. Eric wants this. And if you go and you tell anybody else– if you–if you tell ridge… you’re going to embarrass and humiliate him. So, please. Justin, please. This is so personal, okay? This… my husband is a very private man. Please don’t report back to ridge. Just do the right thing. Keep eric’s secret.

Interview with the Cast of La Brea

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Some of the cast of "La Brea" on NBC

Interview with actors of “La Brea” on NBC by Suzanne 9/13/21

This was another TCA Summer Press panel – this time for the NBC show “La Brea” that premieres 9/29. It was a fairly large panel, with showrunner David Appelbaum, actors Natalie Zea, Zyra Gorecki, Eoin Macken, Jack Martin, Chiké Okonkwo and Jon Seda. I saw the first episode and really loved it. I look forward to more. I think NBC is really hoping it does well, from what I can tell.

The problem with a panel this large, though, is that when there are so many people asking questions in a limited time… some actors never get asked a question. Everyone wants to talk to the stars they know, or ask the showrunner story questions. This is especially true when most of us only get to ask one question.

For instance, my question was for star Natalie Zea, whom I’ve enjoyed watching for years ever since I saw her on “Passions.” She’s gone on to many great roles in “Justified,” “Under the Dome,” “The Following” and “Detour.” This is her first dramatic starring role, I believe. I observed that her character seems very smart and asked if she could tell us what she does for a living (as they never say in the pilot episode we saw). She replied, “She’s an office manager. I do know that. I don’t know what an office manager does, but I know that she’s probably really good at it. But I think her smarts are — I think she’s got a lot of street smarts because of how she grew up, which we’re going to find out about that later. But she gets to use a lot of stuff that’s been sort of dormant in her for a little while, and it’s great to get to sort of watch that unfold throughout the season.”

Another reporter asked star Jon Seda if he was just ready for a change from cop dramas to something different, and he asked if it was difficult for him, when “chaos erupts” in the first episode, not to just go into cop mode and help everyone. I thought that was an odd question because of course, he’s just an actor. He’s going to do whatever the script tells him to do. He plays a doctor in this show, not a cop.

Seda agree that it’s a very different show but explained that he’s just glad to be part of such an exciting show that has adventure, mystery and drama. For the second part of his answer, he added that his character is “not exactly [in] cop mode, but I think Dr. Sam does tend to want to help as many people as he can.”

The next press person asked whether any of the show was filmed in La Brea (since they’re shooting most of the show in Australia). Producer Applebaum answered that they only did one shot in La Brea. The rest was shot in Melbourne.

I thought that the next question was really interesting. He told Applebaum that he “was fascinated” by the pilot episode, but he felt the same way about previous NBC scifi shows Manifest and Debris, both of which were canceled (although, to be fair, the first show did have 3 good years). He said that “commercial networks” have done that a lot. I would actually say he’s wrong about that because it’s done by almost all networks, and has been for the past 50 years, and not just commercial networks. Even HBO, Showtime, Netflix, Hulu and others cancel shows after one season. The broadcast networks get a bad rap. Anyway, he asked if he planned to give viewers the idea that they will explain things or wrap the show before the end. Which, by the way, is not a question you should be asking of a show before they even air.

Applebaum gave the best answer he could for such a ridiculous question. He said they’re just trying to make the best show they can, which should be entertaining and emotional. He doesn’t think about cancelation because it’s not his decision. He just focuses on “trying to garner an enthusiastic fan base” from fans of this genre.

Another journalist asked the actors to talk about what made the roles attractive for them. Martin observed that his character, Jack, is just finishing high school and about to go to college, which is an important point in his life, for his development and maturation. The setting we see in the show (after they fall through the tarpits into their mysterious world) is that we get to see people who they really are. The situation is raw and exposes people for who they really are, unfilted. He finds that exciting.

Mackin agrees with Martin, finding the human relationships most interesting. They’re all thrown into a difficult situation (one that is “unfathomable”) and then they have to find their family and solve their “personal issues.” His character, Jon, and his daughter, are trying to figure out if the others are alive and how they can get to them. It puts a strain on them and shows how they would cope.

Gorecki added that she really enjoyed that as well. Gorecki, like her character, Izzy, is an amputee. She liked that the show focuses less on that and more on how she goes from being “just a regular kid with regular kid issues to having to become a hero and having to work with her dad to save her whole family and save everyone.”

Zea is used to roles where she’s linked to a husband as her primary identity. In this role, even though she’s an ex-wife and mom, that’s not her main purpose in the story. Her story is about how she’s “navigating this world as opposed to what my relationship is with my significant other.” Even in this modern age, it’s a fresh role for her to be able to do that.

Okonkwo likes how the show is diverse, since it starts in L.A. They’re just people on their morning commute on Wilshire, but it’s just a real cross section. There’s obviously Americans. There’s a Brit. There’s Australians. There’s a whole cross section of society. And throwing those people together in this primeval world and seeing how they survive, how they relate to one another. Do they devolve or do they rise to the challenge and really support and help each other? That was a real core of the human journey on this show that I was really excited about and that we’re really, I think, all of us enjoyed being a part of it. Because it’s really heightened.” He added that he’s excited about how both the characters above, and the ones in “the hole” go through “this great, incredible journey through the course of this season.”

Seda loves his role because he has so many components, being a “former Navy Seal, doctor, father, husband,” plus he loves shows with action and adventure. There’s a lot of layers and things for an actor to work with.

The panel was also asked, for those who live in L.A., whether they’d “ever had a particularly alarming encounter with a sinkhole?” That was a funny question.

Okonkwo shared, “I actually have. I haven’t told this story. But there was a load of rain about two years ago, at the beginning of the year. And I used to live in Studio City. And across the street from me, a Toyota Prius (no less) sunk into the ground. It was about 6 feet, but it was still quite alarming. So, it just went. It dropped down into the ground. And they had to cordon off the street and tow… grab this Prius out of this hole.

Zea asked him if he’d used this moment as a “sense memory” for his acting. He acknowledged that he had. He had previously wanted to keep it to himself, but now he’s happy to share it. After that, some of the other actors joked around about his experience.

Applebaum was asked about how he came up with the story. He confided that he just had an image that he couldn’t get out of his head of a sinkhole opening up in L.A. He really wanted to start a show that way because he knew it hadn’t been done before and would be very dramatic. Then he had to come up with all of the rest of the story about why it opens, where it leads, and who falls into it. He used this to start creating the “world of characters in situations. And then from there, you know, a thousand other things happen, but it really just started with an image.” Macken joked that it must have been him in the Prius, so Applebaum jokingly replied that it was him.

Another writer asked those who live in L.A. what it was like doing this show, if it had scared them or whether it gave them nightmares.

Zea replied with a joke, sarcastically saying, “No. But thanks for getting that in the old craw, because now I will have nightmares.”

Macken compared it to how people there act when there’s an earthquake. There might be a small tremor, and it gives you pause, but then if nothing else happens, you go about your business. He thought perhaps next time there’s an earthquake, being on this show might give them pause.

Applebaum asked if he got the idea for show while stuck in traffic and whether he was influenced by classic fantasy writer Jules Verne. Applebaum replied thoughtfully that he’s really more influenced by various “action-adventure movies, certainly Spielberg movies,” although he does enjoy Jules Verne.

Another reporter asked Applebaum a similar question about whether they’ll see parts of L.A. in future episodes. Applebaum answered that even though they don’t shoot in L.A., it’s definitely a character in the show. Although a large part of the action does occur down in the primeval world, quite a bit is above the tarpits in the modern world.

Another member of the press asked if anyone there believed in time traveling, since this show hints that it might have that element. Applebaum isn’t sure that it could exist, but he thinks it’s a fascinating question. He loves time travel fiction, and so do his co-showrunners Bryan Wynbrandt and Steven Lilien. All of the actors agree that it’s possible. Martin joked that Applebaum was sent to them from the future, and there was more joking after that. It was a pretty silly question, so they dealt with it well.

Applebaum was also asked about what his pitch to the networks about the show was like.

He told us, “I first brought the idea to Peter Traugott and Rachel Kaplan and Asher Landay. The main selling point was there’s certainly this spectacle of people surviving in a strange and primeval land that has scope and scale. But, really, what’s at the heart of it all is this family that is torn apart by this sinkhole. And it’s that emotional connection to the show, which, I think, is what people responded to the most. A lot of shows, there can be lots of ideas that are big and noisy. But I think without that deep, emotional connection at the heart of it, people wouldn’t have responded to it. And I think that’s something that we try to keep at the heart of the all the episodes, is this emotional story we’re telling about this family but also the emotional story of all the survivors who are down in the sinkhole as they’re trying to figure out how to get home and also how to survive in this place.”

Another journalist asked whether Applebaum has a planned ending for the show, or does he take it on a more “week-by-week, season-by-season basis.” Of course, he answered that you do have to think ahead and plan, since dramas nowadays are all serialized. He maintains that what you do in the first episode sets up things you see in later episodes. Although he pitched the show to NBC over 2 years ago, they were shut down by the pandemic, so it gave them a “really long gestation and development process” which benefited the storytelling. They “opened up a writers’ room. And Steven and Bryan and all these other great writers came on board.”

A correspondent asked Okonkwo about his involvement with the Calm app because his stories on the app have been “life changing.” He also asked about working with green screens for the creatures on the show, and whether it’s harder than working with a real actor. Okonkwo was happy to hear this because he loves his work with the Calm app and that it’s helped so many, especially the past few years. He’s done a lot of voice work, so that’s why he was hired to work with the app. Others have told him the same thing, “it genuinely warms my heart, because it’s — I’ve never been a great sleeper, and it’s really nice to know that you’re helping people with my soporific voice to fall asleep during a tough time.”

Martin answered the green screen question, saying that a lot of what they do is real, not green screen. He talks about the great job they’ve done with the sets, which makes it feel very real.

Zea said that they’re all working with real people. The only non-entities are the animals, which they wouldn’t have worked with, anyway (since they’re prehistoric). They really have nothing to compare it to, she added.

Okonkwo did chime back in to say, “We did have a great moment at the end of the first episode, which I won’t give away. But because you can’t have those real animals, which are sometimes dangerous and sometimes extinct, we had a guy in a full blue outfit creeping through the sort of brush. And, so, for Jon, myself, and Natalie to keep a straight face when there’s a guy in blue Lycra pretending to be a dangerous animal was some of the best acting I’ve ever seen.”

From what Zea and Okonkwo said, they weren’t told ahead of time about the guy pretending to be an animal. It was a surprise. Macken and Gorecki jokingly complained that all they got to see were birds.

Another journalist asked them to compare their COVID-19 experiences as humans with what the characters are going through. Applebaum said that “one of the really important parts of the show is that even though it’s in the sci-fi genre and there’s an escapist element is that we are relating the themes of the show to what’s happening in the real world. A lot of the show is about this group of survivors who are down in this strange land, about how they come together, or don’t, in order to survive. So, I think the problems that they have in the real world come with them. So even though we are operating in a made-up world, we do want it to feel real and relatable to what people are going through on a daily basis.”

Macken added in his point of view that the characters are “suddenly faced with this feeling of helplessness, of not being able to help your family, and also not knowing what’s going on,” which is what a lot of us experienced with the pandemic.

Another press person asked if any of them had been to the real La Brea Tar Pits and whether they found them interesting. Martin said that he and his castmate Veronica St. Clair (who was not on the panel) visited and they were “blown away.”He added, “it is unbelievable to see, if you haven’t ever been. I mean, it’s like all of these prehistoric animals that are preserved in tar and their bones have been sitting there for thousands and thousands of years. It’s pretty amazing.” Okonkwo had the same experience when he visited. He’s glad that their show is able to take the audience on a journey through that world.

Zea had been there with her family but found it to be disappointing. Macken found it fascinating, and it reminded hime of “Jurassic Park.” Martin thinks it would be great if they were able to bring the dinosaurs back the way they did in those movies. Zea agreed with that, saying, “That would be a spectacle. That would be cool. I would get it’s then.” Martin joked that they should do that in Season 2.

Another reporter asked which part of the primeval they were in because it’s a “pretty large span of time.” That was a very good question, but of course Applebaum wouldn’t give that much detail. He explained that it’s a surprise in the show that the audience will find out when they watch. However, that will bring up “more mysteries and more questions.”

Interview with Gina Yashere

TV Interview!

Gina Yashere of "Bob Hearts Abishola" on CBS.

Interview with Gina Yashere of “Bob ❤️Abishola” on CBS by Suzanne 9/21/21

This was a fun TCA panel of various women who write TV comedies for Warner Brothers shows, “Leaning into Laughter: Exploring Timely Topics Through Humor & Heart.” I would have liked to have asked more questions, but it was only a half-hour long panel.

I chose Gina Yashere for my one question because I love her show, and she’s very funny in it as an actress as well as a writer. I was asking how much of her character, Yemi, is from her.

It was a fun panel with lots of humor. I would have loved to have asked the “Batwoman” showrunner, Caroline Dries, about the upcoming season and the crossover with the other CW shows. I was really surprised that no one else asked her that. I would also have liked to have asked Molly Smith Metzler about her upcoming show, “Maids.” On these TCA panels, I’m lucky if I get to ask more than one question the entire day.

Here is the list of panelists: Nkechi Okoro Carroll from The CW’s “All American” and the upcoming “All American: Homecoming,” Caroline Dries from The CW’s “Batwoman,” Maria Ferrari from CBS’s “United States of Al,” Molly Smith Metzler from Netflix’s upcoming “Maid,” Audrey Morrissey from NBC’s “The Voice,” and Gina Yashere from CBS’s “Bob ♥ Abishola.”

I first told Gina how much I loved her show and never miss it.  She had quite a long answer to my question.

“It’s quite a lot of me in this show. A lot of the stories – similar immigrant stories, people coming from somewhere else coming to America trying to raise their kids in America (and it doesn’t even have to be America, it can be anywhere; I was born and raised in England – a lot of Abishola’s story is based on my parents’ story. My mum and dad are from Nigeria. They came to England. They had us in England and were up against racism, misogyny, all those kinds of things that are very apparent all over the world. And it’s just the story of their love and their triumph of raising their kids in another country, away from home. And the “Bob ♥ Abishola” story is just the coming together of the two families, the two cultures meeting, the fact that people from various backgrounds, no matter where they’re from, find that commonality. And it’s a story about love and inclusion, and just people coming together. Being born outside of my parents’ country and having to assimilate into society that was not necessarily mine originally, it’s just all of those things. So there’s a lot of me in that. Plus, I’m in the show as well ’cause I wrote myself in because I wanted all the checks.
(Laughter.) But, yeah. So there’s a lot of my family and a lot of the immigrant – it doesn’t even have to be Nigeria; it can be Vietnamese; it can be Chinese; it can be Indian; it could be Pakistani, Russian – it’s a very similar story.

Maria Ferrari was asked how her show will be handling current events in Afghanistan. Her answer was amazing: “We had shot one-and-a-half episodes during the week of the fall of Kabul and quickly realized that we had guessed wrong what was going to happen and that we were going to have to adjust our plans. And basically, on August 12th when Herat fell, which is the third-biggest city in Afghanistan which was a very anti-Taliban stronghold, that was when our writers started to feel that something very big was going to change and they had pressing needs to get their own family members out of Afghanistan. And it happens that kind of the Venn diagram of Vets and Afghans and Afghan Americans that is necessary to write this show is also the one that works as a fairly-effective rescue operation. So, we had to stick a pin in everything and focus first on our people that needed help and who needed to get their families out, which was just the wildest week of my life. I have never experienced anything like that. And at the same time, we were realizing that we needed to change everything we had done, and we needed to do it quickly. And so we chose to tell that story. We chose to tell the story of what we were experiencing and hoping that some of the fear and the urgency that we were feeling in the room would come through in this story, which also happened to map very tightly onto our characters because the writers and the characters are, by design, from similar walks of life. So that is the story that we chose to tell in our premiere.” Wow!

She was asked how CBS discussed with her about the show coming back (in relation to what she said) and whether they considered bringing the show back a bit later because of it. However, she replied that everyone at CBS was quite supportive of their show, and where they decided to go with it (particularly the script). She and the others didn’t feel it would be appropriate to show a re-run at this particularly sensitive time.

Dries was asked whether she thought that there was any difference between men and women’s writing. She didn’t think there is. She stated that “The job of the writer is to mimic the showrunner, the creator’s voice. So I don’t see gender in the words frankly, so I can’t really answer that with a definitive ‘here’s how it’s different.’ Each writer brings its own thing. If they’re mimicking the voice, they’re succeeding on the show.”

The reporter asked the other writers to respond as well. Metzler agreed with Dries and said, “I think not seeing gender in the words – that really rings true to me as well. ‘Maid’ is a women’s story. It’s based on a memoir written by a woman. I’m a woman. But when I went to staff the writers room, I hired two men and two women. And I think everyone got the tone of the show. I have to say in my personal experience, the writing was uniformly excellent. And if you covered the title page, I don’t think you could tell who’s a man and who’s a woman.”

Carroll also agreed that there’s no difference: “I am a female showrunner of a football show, and a baseball show coming up, so I very much agree with the ladies. It becomes about their talent on the page. It becomes about capturing the accurate, emotional voice of the show. And then it becomes about mimicking my voice. And we have a pretty great split in both rooms in terms of gender. And you’d be surprised what comes out of who. You would be surprised that some of our best football stuff is written by women. It just works out that way. So, I think I would have to agree. I think we’ve retained 90% of our staff since Season 1 on ‘All American’ because they’re all just really good at what they do and are really good at capturing not just my voice, but also instinctively the type of stories I want to use this show to tell. And so that’s what makes them successful.”

Morrissey replied that her show, “The Voice,” doesn’t have much writing. They just have one writer, and she’s female.  With all of their people, they try to create a safe place for them to “be vulnerable and they can grow as artists – it’s gender-equal.”

Ferrari agreed that she didn’t see any differences. She likes to have all difference voices on her show – not just different genders but different ethnicities.

Gina gave another long answer: “Yeah, I think a lot of certain attitudes have kept women out of the writers’ room. It’s because they thought that we couldn’t write stories where maybe the cast were more male than female, whatever. And so, I like the fact that it doesn’t matter as long as you understand the subject you’re talking about, and you know the story you’re trying to tell, you can write for those people. We’re writing for people. And with my show, yeah, we have a nice even split, men and women. And in fact, I think we might have actually more women in the room. But we’ve got a nice split in our writers’ room. And also, in my show, more than half the cast is Nigerian, so we definitely wanted that Nigerian perspective. My parents were born in Nigeria. We’ve got another writer from Nigeria, a Nigerian American. And then, some of our actors are born and bred in Nigeria. So we wanted to get the perspective right. We wanted to make sure that it’s authentic as well, 100% authentic. We were also trying to smash stereotypes. And so you need people with those specific perspectives to be able to smash the stereotypes some people might have of Africa. If you watched the first episode of Season 3 of our show that aired last night, people are commenting and saying, “Oh, my gosh, we had no idea that Nigerian women live a certain way, that we had a certain image of that and how African people live” – little things like that. “They have really nice houses, we were surprised by that” – stuff like that. That’s why you need a good mix of people in the writers room, across gender, across sexuality, across race, to make sure that everything is covered, and covered properly.”

Dries was asked about Ryan Wilder’s story this season on “Batwoman.” She replied that now she has to fix the problems she’s made and taken responsibility for what she’s done. She added that we get to meet her mom and brother, and “we get to sort of carve out more details specifically about her personal life and all those new personal dynamics.”

Carroll was asked about crossovers between “All-American” and the new spinoff show. They do plan to have crossovers, but they have to wait and see how COVID and other factors affect their plans, but there will be familiar faces on the new show. She quickly added that they won’t be nearly as ambitious as the DC crossovers on The CW. She praised the showrunners and writers for those shows for being able to pull that off: “God bless the showrunners on the DC shows in how you pull that together because that is miraculous.”

Another press member asked her whether she would consider a third series someday, about soccer (since the first one is about football and the second one is about baseball).  Gina brought the comedy, saying, “It’s not soccer, it’s football! It’s football! It’s not soccer! It’s football!”  We all laughed at that. It was hilarious.

After correcting her, jokingly, that it’s football here in America, Carroll answered that she first needs to figure out how to fit sleep into her schedule before considering any other spinoffs.

Gina and Ferrari were asked a rather complex question about writing about the immigrants in their shows; specifically balancing writing about where they were before and where they are now.

Gina gave another lengthy answer: “For me, as a British-born Nigerian and watching American TV throughout my childhood, I didn’t like the way African people seemed to be depicted all the time. It felt like it was an image that had been just carried on way back from, I don’t know, Tarzan days, where Africans were seen a similar way.  And I was like, “That’s not what we’re like.” And then, whenever I’d watch movies, Africa was seen as like a country rather than a continent with a lot of different countries, different languages, different traditions, different religions, different everything. When I went to make this show, I wanted to make sure that you could see the differences, see the nuances of where my people come from in Nigeria and how different it is and how hard we work. When the idea of the show first came around, we were still in the middle of the Trump era, and so there was all that anti-immigrant feeling. So we wanted to just say, “Look, we’re just people. We’re just doing the same as what you guys. We love the same. We want to send our kids to school. We want to work. We want to contribute. That’s what we’re doing.” And so that’s what I wanted to do with this show, and to show us as people.  The language might be different.  The food we eat might be different.  Our clothes might be a little bit more colorful but, at the end of the day, we’re the same people.  And also, Nigerians, Africans, we’re everywhere.  The world is built on people moving to different places to find their fortune.  It’s not like we’re the only ones that are doing it.  White people have been doing it for hundreds of years – going to different places to find their fortunes.  So it’s just saying, “Look, the journey’s the same for all of us.  We’re all together in this.”  And I wanted to get that balance right between showing my culture, showing the people, but also showing how we fit in America and how we can easily mix with other people.  It’s not a problem.  We’ve been here for a long time.  Obviously, authenticity was extremely important to me because of who I’ve seen depicted in the past.  So, we made a point of making sure the language is correct, the food is correct.  When I met with Chuck to talk about the making of the show, I’d say things to him like, “If I say that this isn’t right, you’ve got to believe me.”  If I say, “We don’t do this or we would never do this,” just little things.  In American shows, kids coming in and putting their dirty shoes up on the couch and taking a bottle of milk from the fridge and drinking it straight from the bottle – that would never happen in an African family.  So even the small minutia of things, we had to get it right.  And I think it makes for a great show.  People love it.  Every immigrant family’s enjoying it because it’s their story too.  And then wanting to introduce it to America and its people – let’s be honest, CBS is not the blackest channel, but we’re introducing it to an audience of people who may never have even fraternized with people from my culture. And they’ve grown to love the characters and the people.  And so, as far as I’m concerned, that’s my job done.”

Ferrari said that the Afghani culture she works with has the same issue with the shoes. She even feels like it’s disrespectful now to walk on to their set with shoes on. She went on to say that bringing the first main character of a culture to TV puts pressure on your show “to be all things to all people, which is impossible.” They’re doing their best by showing us more of Al’s world both in his family “and also to introduce him to more Afghan-American communities in the Tristate area.”  This season, Al will find romance; there will be a new Afghan-American DJ, played by one of their writers, Fahim Anwar; and we see more of his sister. They hope to move the focus of the show a little bit to these new characters and not just Al. She finished with, “You can’t really say anything meaningful about diversity unless you are showing it in the bodies of multiple characters, because that’s what diversity means.”

Carroll was also asked whether she’ll be introducing more immigrant characters in her show, since they’ll be at a college.

She replied, “Oh, absolutely. Especially at an HBCU. It’s the diaspora, which is what’s the beauty of it. That’s why I’m so excited to be putting an HBCU back on TV because it’s been a long time since we’ve seen that. But it really is sort of all the versions of Black. In the backdoor pilot we had – because I’m Nigerian, so I was like, “I must put my people in it” – and so we had some of the other characters that were in the classroom and interacted with Keisha and everything. We had both Nigerians and Nigerian Americans portrayed and we plan to continue with that. And also in the diversity of religion. And that’s a conversation I was having with my writers in the writers room just yesterday. I want to make sure as we’re telling these stories, it’s not the Christian Black experience or it’s not the non-denominational Black experience. I want to talk about the Muslim Black experience. If we’re saying we’re in this melting pot of the Black diaspora, I want to make sure we’re really representing that. And again, to what Maria said, we can’t represent everybody all at once and so it’s something that we’re just very conscious of in the room. And as we can organically sort of expand the storylines we’re telling around our series regulars, and incorporating these other cultures and religions and everything, we’re so excited to do that because that’s why we’re doing what we do.”

Morrissey was asked about the logistics of this season on “The Voice” since the audience is still not back to full capacity. She talked about all the issues they had, and how they discussed whether to bring any audience back or not. They did decide to bring some back. She went on at length about how the performers really need an audience to sing to. It helps them out. As a singer myself, I know that’s very true. I can imagine that whether you’re in front of 100 or 1000 people, it’s helpful to have an audience. She also mentioned that they have a new coach, Ariana Grande.

At the end, Morrissey also sent out some love to the other panelists. She said, “I’m such a fan of every other woman on this panel. And so I’m really excited to be on this panel with you. So, good luck to you all. Happy to meet you here.” Carroll gave her the love right back, saying that binging “The Voice” has been her go-to during the pandemic. Morrissey replied right back with “Please. I am binging “All-American” right now with my ten-year-old son. And literally, when I open my laptop to log on, there was Taye Diggs frozen from my Netflix…”

Gina chimed in with a naughty joke: “I think we’ve all had Taye Diggs on our laptops at some time” and everyone laughed.

Interview with Karen Barroeta, Mark Tacher, Isabella Castillo and Alejandro Nones

TV Interview!

Karen Barroeta, Mark Tacher, Isabella Castillo and Alejandro Nones from Telemundo's "Malverde: El Santo Patrón"

Interview with Executive Producer Karen Barroeta and actors Mark Tacher, Isabella Castillo and Alejandro Nones from “Malverde: El Santo Patrón” on Telemundo by Suzanne 9/13/21

I’m not a native Spanish speaker, so I don’t usually watch Telemundo. However, I did watch an episode or two of this series before our recent TCA panel with the actors. It was quite entertaining. The show is set in the old west and reminds me of the Western shows I grew up watching, such as Bonanza, The Big Valley, The Virginian and many more.  There are a lot of characters in the show that you meet at once, though, so I had a little trouble sometimes telling them apart. It got a bit easier as time went on.    The series has subtitles, so it’s easy to watch and get caught up in the story. It’s a timeless story of good versus evil. In fact, the main character is a bit like a sexy Robin Hood, but with some mystical powers.  You should really check it out September 28 on Telemundo.

The panel included the executive producer and 3 of the actors. Unfortunately, the main star, Pedro Fernández, was not there, but the three that were there were very entertaining. The cast is from all different parts of Latin America.  On the panel, Tacher is from Mexico; Castillo is from Cuba; and Nones is from Venezuela.

Curious, I asked EP Karen Barroeta if there are many western series on Telemundo. Her reply surprised me: “Actually, this is the first period piece we’ve produced, and we really worked on it for the past six years and thought that it could be something that audiences could be really interested in. So, it was a big challenge for us, but we are happy with the results. Hopefully, audiences will believe so as well.” I agree with her…I think audiences will enjoy it as I did.

She was also asked to compare the real-life tales of Malverde to their show. They did a lot of research into the folklore and then fleshed out the details in the story with fictional elements. They based their show on “what he meant for people and how he lost his parents and how he became a legend. He was part of the Yoreme. His family came from the Native — those Indians in Mexico, and so he learned how to create medicine to help people. So not only he was a Robin Hood, but he also had the ability to cure, and that’s how his name came about. So, we did take a lot from what it was recorded in history, but we did give it a bit of fiction in terms of the people that were around him and how he fought for justice.”  Besides Malverde and the main characters created for the show, there are historical figures as well, such as president Porfirio Díaz and the revolutionary fighter Pancho Villa. “So, we brought a lot of reality in terms of the historical personas and characters that were real at that time, and so we incorporated it because we know that Malverde was fighting for justice. He was trying to help his people. And, so, I think it’s somehow very tied to how he was in reality. But, in TV, we like to make magic, and we brought some additional resources, elements, and characters, to make it more entertaining.”

She was also asked about what elements about Malverde’s character that they chose to put in (or not) , and she responded that they created the love story (between him and Carolina as well as him and Isabel) to make it more appealing to audiences. She seemed to feel bad that we were only asking her questions, so she suggested that the actors help answer this question. Tacher added that their story is not just a dry account of Malverde but a real story about how he lived and loved, which is what the audiences should like. Castillo chimed in to add that they really don’t know many details about Malverde, so they have to fill that in. And her character, La China Navajas, is based on many different women who fought for revolution in Mexico. She points out that they don’t really know if Malverde existed and whether he had these mystical powers that were attributed to him.

Someone else asked if Malverde was as well known as Emiliano Zapata. Karen said that it’s hard to compare the two because they’re very different Zapata was a revolutionary war hero and Malverde was a mythical figure – a saint. People have altars in Mexico, and his figure is frequently on their altars. Some have tattoos of him. He’s a saint in their culture.  Actor Nones added his own take on it: “Zapata is someone kids studied in school, and Malverde is somebody that people from the north in Culiacán and Sinaloa grow with this in the streets. And people talk, and people follow him as a saint with a lot of devotion.”

Karen told us that it took six years to bring this project to the screen. They first did a lot of research and then put together a demo reel, which they showed to focus groups. They received a good reaction from them. “We saw how our audience here in the United States, an Hispanic audience, was so excited about knowing more, and so we just started the development process three years ago. And the pandemic started just when we were getting ready to start building the back lot that we built in Cumbres del Ajusco in Mexico. And, so, production all in all between the preproduction and the production – I can say was probably a year and a half. So, it’s been a project that took some time.”

Castillo confided that, since she grew up in Cuba, she’d never heard of Malverde until she traveled to Mexico. She discovered that many thought of him as the patron saint of Narcos, but he had nothing to do with them or the drug trafficking. He was a much more positive figure.

Nones had heard a lot about him during his travels and work in Mexico. Six years ago, he was in Culiacán and learned a lot about him at the chapel that bears his name from the son of the person who created the chapel.

Tacher, who, as I mentioned above, is Mexican, related that they don’t learn about pre-revolutionary characters like Malverde in Mexican schools. He heard about him later from people in Culiacán, Sinaloa, where he’s known as the patron saint of the needy. He let us know that Telemundo’s research into the saint was not easy because he’s most popular in certain areas of Mexico.

One of the other members of the press said that he’s also a teacher, so he had been concerned about whether Malverde would be a hero and a positive message. Karen told him, “This is a story of an amazing man who suffered being a young kid by having his father killed by the aristocrats, and he was raised by these Indians who taught him a lot about, like I said before, how to cure people. And he grew up seeing the difference between the aristocrats and the people that didn’t — that they would just fight to have food and education for their kids. So, he fought for justice. He aligned with the revolution to make sure he could bring some equality to those in need. And he was never, like, siding with criminals or with the real bandits. Yes, he did take maybe from the aristocrat’s gold mines, and he would give to the poor. But we are telling the story of a hero, of a legend, and that will show all positive traits. So, I’m not sure if we are necessarily saying it the way you commented it, but we are definitely bringing out this beautiful human being who fought for justice. And the way we position it is he would never want to shoot a gun to kill someone but just to defend himself. He would always say, ‘Never shoot to kill. Never do it.'”

The actors agreed with her that his story is a positive one. Tacher told us that there was virtually no drug trafficking in the world back at that time (the late 1800’s). Of course, that’s because most drugs were legal until the early part of the 20th century. Heroin, opium and pot were legal in Mexico until the 20’s and in the US until the 30’s.

Tacher was next asked why people seem to love stories of lawbreakers like Malverde. He replied thoughtfully: “I think we are always fascinated by those kinds of guys because they are always in the line of what is good or bad in the social medium — in a social medium, you know. So, it’s very difficult not to fall in love with these kinds of characters that help but also that dare to break a little bit — not to break but to bend the system a little bit. And they are always searching for new ways to bring joy to people even though they become a concern to other people. So that’s why I think we are always in love with these kinds of characters because they are almost always on the brink of success and failure.”

The actors were then asked what they had learned from doing their research for the show. Castillo really hadn’t known much about the Mexican Revolution, so she loved learning about it.   Nones had previously done a play about the period, so he was already familiar with it. Tacher enjoyed “living” in the era where they had no electricity and shooting in a simple town where there were no cell phone signals. Then they did the scenes in the series where they brought electricity and light to the town. He said, Iit was amazing. It was like bringing Mexico to a new era. And I lived that way because I just thought to myself, ‘What would I do if I lived in that age without any kind of light?’ Yeah, you will survive, but that had to be hard.”

Castillo elaborated on what he said, explaining that the studio built this small town in the woods where there was nothing but a lot of cactus. She also mentioned that her character has a “controversial” storyline that is even difficult in today’s world (she never explained what she meant, but my guess is that her character is a lesbian). She went on, “we still have to fight for equality and for justice still in 2021, you know. So, when you go back to the good old days, it’s, like, oh, my god, since back in the day, people have been fighting for something that we are still fighting for today, you know. So, for us, it was, like, a joy. It was a pleasure to be part of this project and to participate in all of these historical events that still are taking place nowadays.”

There was a lot of joking around between the actors as they were asked to talk about their characters. That was very funny.

Nones plays Nazario Aguilar, the right hand to Malverde, who has an illness that makes it difficult if he gets injured. Aguilar risks his life for Malverde and because it’s the right thing to do. He loved being in the period piece with all of the details that make it seem authentic to the time.

Castillo loves her character and talked about how strong her character is. “She doesn’t change who she is for anyone, and she has actually taught me many things. She came to Malverde’s life when she was an orphan. Pretty much they killed her whole entire family.” She finds a family with Malverde and Aguilar. Castillo loves the other actors, the action and  “choosing characters that break the stereotypes,” such as this woman  who had to survive alongside men. She continued, “What I love about my character is that she’s the only girl in a band of only men, and she manages to survive back in the day, 1910, which it was difficult to be a girl surrounded by men because you would have to make them respect you, you know. And she gained the respect from men, and that’s something that’s really, really valuable, especially back in the day.”

The female soldiers are called “Soldaderas” and Tacher pointed out that there’s an old Mexican song called “La Adelita” about the women soldiers of the revolution. His character is Vicente del Rio, who is ” an American-born, greedy entrepreneur that moves to the north region of Mexico because he knows of its riches, but sooner than later, he didn’t know that he would fall in love with our beautiful protagonist, Isabel.” There is a lot of conflict between del Rio and Malverde (in part because Malverde and Isabel had a past relationship).  Castillo then teased Tacher about del Rio’s mustache, and they joked around because he didn’t like wearing the mustache at all.

Set in 1910 and inspired by real events, ‘Malverde: El Santo Patrón’ tells the story of Jesús Juárez “Malverde,” one of the biggest and most controversial Mexican characters of the last 150 years, an outlaw who ultimately became a legendary figure, a religious icon, and protector of the innocent, poor and dispossessed. The high-octane production shows the life of Malverde, from his turbulent childhood as an orphan in Sinaloa, Mexico, through his young adulthood during the Mexican Revolution, when he encountered war and danger as well as romance. Rising to heights of unexpected power, he became a Robin Hood-type figure admired by women from all social classes but tormented by unresolved feelings for his childhood girlfriend, Isabel. With the federal authorities increasingly concerned with Malverde’s steadily growing power in the early years of the Revolution, it will take more than love or God to safeguard the hero known as “El Santo Patrón” from those out to destroy him.

Shocked by her father’s actions, Alexis begins to question everything she has known about him and discovers the depth of his lies, including his bogus medical credentials, falsified military records, and that the man and good doctor she once revered, was capable of murder.

    Tonight on Big Brother 23 the winner will be revealed amid the finale night event as all sixteen Houseguests are expected to gather and celebrate the season end complete with confetti and all. The show kicks off at 9/8c for the two-hour event following tonight’s Survivor 41 episode on CBS.
    We’ve got a Final 3 trio featuring Azah, Derek F, and Xavier and all three are hoping for the just two spots that will stand before the Jury and make their case. Sure, we’ve heard Derek’s delusional arguments already, but what will the Jury decide when faced with the decision and what will each of the first two round winners elect to do if given the chance to pick a partner for the F2?
    Until just a few days ago it all seemed like a clear path forward with Xavier electing to drag Derek the goat to F2 and Azah making the same choice for her game. As DF put it yesterday, “sit next to the fat man” at F2 and win yourself $750,000!, but in an unexpected twist DF may have similarly talked himself out of a sure thing with Azah. Azah isn’t feeling Derek’s hurtful comments about how he feels she did nothing but stare at the wall this season and so now she’s thinking she’d rather lose to Xavier, which I think she would, than see Xavier get third while DF gets second if she took her fellow Joker to the end.
    It’s all kinda nuts to consider throwing away $675,000 to take $75K for yourself instead of $750K, but Azah is wavering over that very decision. We’ll find out tonight if she even has that choice when Round 2 plays out from Saturday’s competition before we get a live Round 3.

    48 HOURS Airing Saturday, October 2 (10:00PM ET/PT) – IN A WORLD EXCLUSIVE, SOCIALITE JASMINE HARTIN, CHARGED WITH KILLING A POLICE SUPERINTENDENT IN BELIZE, TELLS HER STORY IN DETAIL FOR THE FIRST TIME ON TELEVISION, IN “48 HOURS: JASMINE HARTIN’S SHOT IN THE DARK” Preview
    In a world exclusive, Jasmine Hartin, a socialite accused of fatally shooting police superintendent Henry Jemmott in Belize, tells her story in detail to correspondent Peter Van Sant for the first time on television, in 48 HOURS: “Jasmine Hartin’s Shot in the Dark,” to be broadcast Saturday, Oct. 2 (10:00 PM, ET/PT) and streamed on Paramount+.
    “I am not a murderer,” Hartin tells Van Sant in an exclusive interview. “That’s ridiculous.”
    Hartin and Jemmott were on a moonlit pier in the tropical paradise of Belize last May. One shot rang out. Jemmott was dead with a single gunshot wound behind his ear. Hartin, 32, the mother of twins, was found dazed and blood-soaked on the pier, which was not far from the beachfront condo she shared with her partner, Andrew Ashcroft, the son of a British billionaire.
    The case has generated international headlines and intrigue. It’s a story of power, privilege and tragedy. Was it really an accident or something more? Hartin has been charged with manslaughter by negligence. No trial date has been set.
    Jemmott was a dedicated public servant and a beloved father of five, who spent his life serving his country, says his sister, Cherry Jemmott.
    Hartin reportedly first said Henry Jemmott was killed by a shot fired from a passing boat. She later admitted she fired the shot from the pier – saying it was by accident.
    She tells Van Sant that she and Jemmott were drinking before they went to the pier. There, she says, he tried to show her how to load and unload his Glock 17 pistol and magazine, because he wanted her to have a gun for personal protection.
    “He says … ‘Can you hand me the magazine from the gun,’” Hartin tells Van Sant. “So, I lean over. I pick up the gun. … I’m trying to get the magazine out. Next thing I know, the gun went off.”
    “And did you have a finger on the trigger?” Van Sant asks.
    “Not that I thought,” Hartin replies.
    “Somehow you must have pulled the trigger,” Van Sant says.
    “I’d … I’m—I don’t know. I – I – I mean, it was an accident, or the gun misfired. But consciously did I pull the trigger? No,” Hartin says.
    Hartin says Jemmott fell on top of her.
    “And all I could feel is warmth,” Hartin says. “And I later then realized he was bleeding on me.”
    Jemmott’s family believes Hartin murdered him.
    “My brother was shot behind the ear … execution style,” says Cherry Jemmott, also a police officer.
    “Jasmine Hartin should be charged with murder, not manslaughter,” Cherry Jemmott says.
    “People perceive me as being … a billionairess and this …entitled, spoiled rich girl … and this wild, crazy, party girl that’s hanging from the rafters,” Hartin says. “That’s not it at all. I’m a businesswoman. I’m a mother. I’m a friend … I’m a wife.”
    48 HOURS and Van Sant spent three days with Hartin in Belize reporting on the death of Henry Jemmott and the media frenzy that has surrounded the case. 48 HOURS: “Jasmine Hartin’s Shot in the Dark” is produced by Josh Yager and James Stolz.

Review of “FBI: International”

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Review!

"FBI: International" cast on CBS

“FBI: International” on CBS Review by Suzanne 9/25/21

I have to admit that I’m not a fan of the “FBI” shows. I just find them a bit boring and formulaic. They have some good actors, but they just don’t excite me very much. If I had nothing better to do, I would watch them, or the “NCIS” shows, or the “Law and Order” shows, or…. Zzzzzzzzz    I’m sorry! I dozed off a second there, just trying to remember all of these franchise shows. (Ha ha!)

These series all seem geared toward action junkies or old people. I mean REALLY old because I’m 60, which is pretty old, and they don’t hold any great thrill for me. But I know they’re very popular. They must be – why else would they now have THREE of them, all on the same night? I guess the three hours of programming is a good match against shows like “The Masked Singer” on FOX.

This new series is set in Europe. Unlike “FBI” and “FBI: Most Wanted,” the show has mostly young people. There is no wise older person to show the young people how it should be done. That might be a mistake, but we’ll have to wait and see how the stories play out.

I watched the three-episode premiere this week (tying all three series together), and I was impressed with the fact that I could watch all three without really knowing any of the other characters on the shows. They make it really easy to follow. You could watch any of these shows and not worry about episodes that you missed. They’re all pretty self-contained.

The international aspect of the show makes it very interesting. They have to deal with things that the other shows don’t, such as worrying about local law enforcement more and not being able to carry guns. I like that detail of it a lot.

Check it out and see if it appeals to you.

MORE INFORMATION:

From Emmy Award winner Dick Wolf and the team behind FBI and the “Law & Order” brand, faced-paced drama FBI: INTERNATIONAL is the third iteration of the successful FBI brand that follows the elite operatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s International Fly Team. Headquartered in Budapest, they travel the world with the mission of tracking and neutralizing threats against American citizens wherever they may be, putting their lives on the line to protect the U.S. and its people. The Fly Team’s Special Agent Scott Forrester, their accomplished and dedicated leader, puts his missions ahead of his personal life and is rarely seen without the team’s “secret weapon” – their trusty Schutzhund dog, Tank. Second in command is Special Agent Jamie Kellett, not afraid to tussle – in an alley or courtroom – and her extensive network of informants is a powerful resource. Special Agent Andre Raines shines in the field and makes good use of his accounting background in tracking criminal enterprises’ moving money; and the group’s newest member is Special Agent Cameron Vo, a competitive West Point grad who excels at interrogation and strategy. A key part of the mix is the unflappable Europol Agent Katrin Jaeger, a multilinguistic liaison between the FBI Fly Team and each host country they inhabit. Always at the scene where American interests are at risk, FBI: INTERNATIONAL is a globe-trotting depiction of law enforcement overseas.

The series premieres at a special time on Tuesday, Sept. 21 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) as part of a three-hour crossover premiere event with FBI and FBI: MOST WANTED to kick off the new season of “All-FBI Tuesdays” on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nick: Are you sure you can do this?

Phyllis: Are you doubting my expertise?

Nick: No, no, this is just next-level search-and-discovery mission, that’s all.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me. No one better to find out ashland locke’s true identity.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, you’re not the first expert to go digging into ashland’s background.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I’m the first one who’s gonna succeed.

Nick: Well, we need to confirm ashland’s origin story

before he marries my sister.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me because this is my wheelhouse. Sleuthing and scheming. Spying.

[ Laughs ] Also, I happen to be very, very, very madly in love with you, and I want to see you happy.

Nick: Well, that’s a two-way street.

Phyllis: Okay, here we go. What did rey say about somebody who wants to change their name legally?

Nick: He said it takes a lot of documentation, you know, a lot of legal channels that you have to go through.

Phyllis: Alright, well, I am checking out these databases that are connected to the — you know, the legal authorization and legal channels for a young man who wanted to change his name to ashland locke, what, 30, 40 years ago.

Nick: Yeah, I mean, there’s just got to be something.

Phyllis: There’s nothing. Nick, there’s nothing here. I mean, I’m still so dumbfounded that this guy has successfully buried his true identity. And there’s no documentation anywhere. I mean, that just means that —

Nick: It means something very strange is going on.

Billy: We need to have a serious conversation about ashland locke.

Gaines: I’m busy.

Billy: We can go somewhere private. I promise you, it’ll be worth your while.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Billy: 10 minutes. You won’t regret it.

Gaines: Alright. Let’s go.

Ashland: $500,000. Yes, I’m aware. It — look, you just make the money happen, and I’ll take care of the rest. Please just have it ready. Thank you.

Abby: Ashland, hi.

Ashland: Abby, it is lovely to see you.

Abby: Yeah. Given how often you’ve been in here, it’s odd that we haven’t done more than exchange pleasantries. And now you’re about to be my brother-in-law.

Ashland: I’m looking forward to being a part of your wonderful family, especially getting to know you better.

Abby: I feel the same. You know, I think it’s time that we get to know each other. Mind if I join you?

Ashland: I would be delighted.

Victor: Well, I hope you’re not too busy with something very important.

Victoria: Daddy, you know i always make time for you.

Victor: Whoa! Look at that. My goodness, is that a merrill londeree?

Victoria: It is.

Victor: Sweetheart, that is so damn good. Look at the poise and the grace and the presence. My god, I love it. Don’t you?

Victoria: Oh, well, you know, it’s taking some getting used to, looking at my face all day, but it just reminds me to keep focused on getting the job done.

Victor: I think it’s beautiful.

Victoria: Mom was worried that you wouldn’t be that enthusiastic about it.

Victor: Why would she worry about that? This is a fitting symbol of your new position, sweetheart. You’re running this company. It’s in your capable hands now. And you’re bringing it into the future — a bright, prosperous future, right? I mean, this is symbolic of your new position of power, really.

Victoria: It was a gift from ashland.

Victor: Oh, it is. Oh. Well, now, I have a gift for you, as well. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss,

Abby: I couldn’t stand the thought that our first real conversation would be after the “I dos.”

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Well, to say that you have been busy is an understatement. Not only are you the owner of my favorite restaurant in town, but I have also heard that there’s a new member of the family.

Abby: Yeah, dominic.

Ashland: That’s a strong name.

Abby: Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

Ashland: Oh, my. That moniker is longer than he is.

Abby: Oh, he’ll grow into it eventually.

Ashland: He seems to have been born into the role of an ambassador.

Abby: A role that I know very well. I’ve played it most of my life. My father is a newman and my mother is an abbott.

Ashland: Wow. I would imagine that would make for interesting times, given the unique histories of your families.

Abby: Oh, the stories I could tell.

[ Chuckles ] I am — I’m very proud of both sides of my family tree. I see the best in them, but I am also not too shy to call them out on the worst.

Ashland: They’re lucky to have you. And now, dominic.

Abby: Yeah, he really is such a miracle. I know I may be biased, but he is the perfect little angel. Oh, his little face. I mean, I’m now that parent that takes pictures and videos of him all day long and shows them to everybody.

Ashland: Well, that all changes so quickly. It’s really critical you capture it all at once. Do you have any pictures of him, by any chance?

Abby: Oh, I thought you would never ask.

[ Chuckles ] I do, yes. Settle in.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I have so many pictures and videos that I’m gonna need my own data storage facility soon. And while I am bragging about my son, please tell me about you and victoria. When business turned into romancE. When you knew you were in love. All of it because there is nothing better than a good love story.

Billy: I did some digging into you after we met, mr. Gaines.

Gaines: Well, don’t believe everything you read.

Billy: I found out that you took over your father’s law practice after he passed away. Two years later, your license was revoked for malfeasance. Yet, one of the biggest businessman in the world claims that you are one of his east coast lawyers. Now, if he’s lying about that, what else is he lying about?

Gaines: Why are you so interested?

Billy: Well, it’s my job. I shine a light into the dark corners. I flip over rocks, exposing what’s really there, not what the rich and famous would like to be there. But you knew who I was when we met. You know that I run chanccomm with my partner, the woman who i was with, lily winters.

Gaines: You already wrote an exposé on locke. You hardly were the first.

Billy: Yeah, but there’s so much more information that locke has been hiding for decades.

Gaines: Hmm, that sounds personal. What’s your beef with him?

Billy: I’m gonna assume you also know that he’s about to marry the mother of my children. A man like that, spending that much time with my kids, I need to know that he can be trusted. And so far, I’ve found no evidence of that to be true. The fact is, I think he’s hiding something monumental, and my intuition tells me that you know something about that.

Victoria: What is this?

Victor: Well, open it and read it.

Victoria: Dad.

Victor: What?

Victoria: You can’T.

Victor: Oh, really? You’re gonna stop me or what?

Victoria: This is the — this is —

Victor: It’s the deed to my villa in tuscany, the palazzo. It is yours, as of the day of your wedding with ashland.

Victoria: I can’t believe it.

Victor: This is your tuscan home away from home, you know.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Daddy.

Victor: I want you to spend many, many happy years with ashland there, okay?

Victoria: I really don’t know how to thank you. Not just for the gift, but for what this represents.

Victor: There’s no need.

Victoria: No, daddy, I know you feel like you were doing your fatherly duty digging into ashland’s past, but this just shows me that you support us and you support our marriage.

Victor: I love you. You’re my daughter. I want you to enjoy that house and that villa on that estate for many, many years. I’ve never seen you this happy. I want you to continue to be happy, okay?

Victoria: Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] I’m susan and I’m 52

Abby: I can’t believe that victoria ever spoke to you again after that first negotiation. I mean, you chose victor and adam over her.

Ashland: Well, as I told you, I think she was a little more than exasperated. I think she still might be.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: But I admired her even then.

Abby: She is very impressive.

Ashland: It was more than that. You know, even from the beginning, there was a spark, this connection, recognition, you know? Something that the poets have eternally tried to put into words. The first we kissed, I — I just knew that everything was different. And for the first time in my life, I had found a person on this planet who could make me happy to be alive.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: I’m sorry, did I say something that —

Abby: No, I’m — I’m sorry. No, it’s — it’s okay. I was just — I was thinking about my wedding and how much i miss my husband.

Ashland: Yeah, I would imagine that must be really tough, not having him around, especially with dominic in the picture.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: But you also must be very proud of him.

Abby: I am. You know what? I am — I am so happy for you and victoria. And I hope and pray that your love lasts forever.

Ashland: Oh. Well, prayers are welcome. I really enjoyed this time with you and getting to know you, and I would imagine you’ve got just tons of work to do, so I’ll be on my way.

Abby: Actually, before you go, there is something I wanted you to know.

Ashland: Tell me anything you want.

Abby: I have to admit, I had my reservations about you and victoria. I mean, everything just happened so fast, but now I can see why she fell in love with you and why she’s willing to take this next step with you, after everything she’s been through.

Ashland: You mean with billy?

Abby: Look, don’t get me wrong, I love my uncle. He’s a terrific father and his heart is normally in the right place. But when they were together, victoria spent an inordinate amount of time putting out fires.

Ashland: I have heard the stories.

Abby: Yeah, the gambling, the drinking, the affairs, shady business dealings.

Ashland: Sounds difficult.

Abby: And look, I know every relationship has their ups and downs, but look at you. I mean, your health, but that’s not something that you could help. I mean, that was thrown at you, and you and victoria, you’re dealing with it together.

Ashland: Hmm.

Abby: And the way that you’re merging your company with newman, it just shows how much you admire victoria’s business acumen.

Ashland: She’s a powerhouse. One of the myriad reasons why i love and adore your sister. You know, she was the one that convinced me to go forward with this treatment, and I was dead set against it and she was quietly and subtly relentless.

Abby: Well, when she’s right, she can be ferocious.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I had told myself that I wanted nothing to do with being tired and sick all the time from the chemotherapy, but I went ahead with it because I had wanted more time with her. And I will cherish every minute.

Abby: I can see it in your eyes, how much you love her.

Ashland: It’s true, I do.

Abby: But I also know your reputation. And it’s not that unlike my father’S. You have a certain world view, certain way of handling things. And I want you to take this with the spirit that it is intended because I promise you, I really only want the best for you and victoria.

Ashland: Feel free to speak your mind.

Abby: Please never lie to victoria. Billy did that far too often. I think he thought that he was protecting her, but he was really only protecting himself.

Ashland: I will take that to heart. Thank you.

Abby: Yeah. Okay, well, I am going to get home to dominic.

Ashland: Of course. I so appreciate this time, and thank you. It’s been great getting to know you.

Abby: I feel the same. Well, I’m sure you have a lot to get done before the wedding.

Ashland: As a matter of fact, I have some business that I need to attend to.

Billy: I know whatever brought you to genoa city has to do with ashland locke because he is desperately trying to keep something hidden.

Gaines: I’ve already told you —

Billy: Don’t tell me that you’re his lawyer because you don’t have a license to practice anymore.

Gaines: I’m a consultant on retainer.

Billy: Then why misrepresent yourself like that?

Gaines: Eh, old habits die hard.

Billy: That’s one option. The other option would be you and ashland have an agreement because you know something that he’s willing to pay to keep quiet. I’m gonna take your silence as a “yes.” It’s only a matter of digging before I come up with the rest of the details.

Gaines: Well, there is nothing to uncover.

Billy: Or I can have my team over at chanccomm take over. They’re highly motivated, very well funded. Of course, we could come up with a financial agreement between the two of us. What do you say, jesse? Do you mind if I call you jesse? A very lucrative financial agreement, right here, right now.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I mean, how does a young guy even know how to begin to form a new identity?

Phyllis: I know, especially when anything legal leaves a trail.

Nick: Shady friends and associates? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m looking at a national database right here. I am looking for death records or a deceased actual ashland locke who died, right? And then this guy that we know — he assumed his identity, what, like 30, 40 years ago.

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Sighs ] There’s nothing. I mean, you and I both know it’s easy to pay somebody off, to get someone to look the other way, do a favor for you, if you have enough money.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: I mean, he’s got money now, but this identity switch happened, what, decades ago, before he got this job at the station with camilla rhodes in new jersey, before he became successful. According to locke, you know, he had a rough childhood, an abusive father, and no resources. He needed a fresh start.

Phyllis: Do we really believe that story? Really?

Nick: I mean, my dad does, probably because it hits close to home, so that part of the story does ring true. But everything we’ve discovered today, nothing leads us to the fact that ashland locke might be a fabricated name, and there’s no paper trail pointing us to a legal name change. So let’s just assume for a moment that ashland locke was a real person and his identity was legally established.

Phyllis: Yeah. An actual ashland locke that this guy that we know took his identity, just stepped into his life. He paid for it.

Nick: Maybe he took the name from someone who was really sick.

Phyllis: Or someone who wanted to just disappear.

Nick: But paid him off with what? I…

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I don’t know. You know, maybe it wasn’t a deal at all. Maybe ashland locke’s dead, you know? That’s why the name’s not popping up in any of the databases.

Phyllis: Possibly.

Nick: Where do we even begin?

Phyllis: I have an idea.

[ Keys clacking ]

 

Victor: You know, the fact that ashland changed his name obviously raised some questions.

Victoria: Obviously.

Victor: But not with me. I want you to know that, okay? I, um, was very moved by what he said. A lot of it resonated with me.

Victoria: Yes, daddy, because of your own past, of course.

Victor: You know, I’ve always prided myself on my ability to read people. Based on that, I made a lot of important decisions in my life and in business. And I could see in his face as he was talking about his childhood how painful that was. And yet he was able to extricate himself from that abusive childhood and become a very successful business tycoon and become the man that he is now.

Victoria: You know it meant a lot that ashland opened up to us. He’s never shared that part of his life with anyone.

Victor: You know, it was billy boy who made him re-live all that. Billy abbott is a liability, always has been, always will be. He’s the one you have to watch.

Victoria: I’ve spoken to billy about this. I’ve begged him to stop digging around in ashland’s life.

Victor: But he hasn’t, and he can’t, because he’s insanely jealous of your relationship with ashland, alright?

Victoria: Well, he says that he’s worried about the children.

Victor: That’s hogwash. Please, sweetheart. It was a giant mistake to invite him to your wedding. He can’t stand the fact that you’re happy with ashland, that you’re with someone who is 10 times the man that billy boy ever was, ever will be.

Victoria: Well, even if that’s true, daddy, he’s hardly a threat.

Victor: Sweetheart, do me a favor. Be careful. The only reason billy boy wants to come to the wedding is to spoil things for you, to make you unhappy.

Billy: I’ll keep your name out of it. You’ll be an anonymous source.

Gaines: What would I have to do?

Billy: Fill in the blanks. Tell me how ashland locke was able to finance the two news stations that he acquired from camilla rhodes’ estate that launched his career. ‘Cause I have a feeling there’s more to the story than a young upstart with the midas touch striking it rich.

Gaines: Just for the sake of argument…

Billy: Mm?

Gaines: …How much would something like that be worth to you?

Billy: How does $100,000 sound?

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Gaines!

Phyllis: Ugh. Is there any other information you can give me on this guy? Different names, addresses, anything?

Billy: My dad’s P.I. Turned up some information about him working at that station in new jersey with that woman camilla, and that is what began has meteoric rise in the industry.

Phyllis: Okay, great, because that’s public record. That is easy to find.

Nick: See, I thought that was a non-issue, but it is a good place to start.

Phyllis: Yeah. Alright, looks like the station is in a place called toms river, new jersey.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: Can you find out when he started working there?

Phyllis: Yeah. Looks like he was 20 when he started working there.

Nick: So, I guess the big question is, how long before he took that job at the station did he assume his new identity? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m pulling up a list of deceased males around ashland’s age. I’m going to get a list together, and we will eliminate those who do not fit.

Nick: And that’s how we find out whose identity locke took.

[ Keys clacking ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Ashland.

Ashland: Victor. Must be the day for me to run into my future in-laws. Good to see you.

Victor: You look like a man with a lot on his mind.

 

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashland: Oh, everything is fine. I was just meeting with one of my attorneys.

Victor: Ah. Nothing urgent, I hope?

Ashland: No, just tying up some loose ends. You know how it is. The only thing I want on my mind the day of my wedding is your daughter.

Victor: Talking about my daughter, I just came back from her office and saw that magnificent portrait on the wall.

Ashland: Captures her essence, huh?

Victor: You actually managed to get merrill londeree to do that painting?

Ashland: I can’t believe you recognized her work.

Victor: Oh, yeah.

Ashland: Well, I’m glad to hear that you have that reaction because I was hoping I didn’t have to dig out the boxing gloves.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, who knows?

Victor: Your skill in the ring is part of the legend of victor newman. I hope someday you can teach me the ropes.

Victor: And one day perhaps we shall do that.

Ashland: We haven’t spoken since I called the family together and revealed the events that led to my changing my name, starting my life over with a clean slate. I hope it didn’t change your opinion of me.

Victor: Well, it has, you know? But not in the negative way that one might assume. What you have lived through could have taken your life in a totally different direction. You could have followed in the footsteps of your father and led a life of abuse and pain and addiction. I understand what you went through. And I respect that you pulled yourself out of that mire and became the man that you are today and became as successful a businessman as you have become. And I also appreciate the fact that you opened up to everyone. Must have been painful. So, I will tell you that I am impressed with your background and your life. And I welcome you into our family.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Thank you, sir. I just want you to know it means the world to me.

Victor: Now, you understand, of course, why I had to vet your background.

Ashland: As I told you, I’d have done the same thing if i were in your shoes.

Victor: I also want you to know that I will always, always look out for my daughter.

Ashland: She’s your daughter. I would expect nothing less. And I want you to know this. I will protect her just as fiercely. She’s everything to me.

Victor: Good to know.

Phyllis: Alright.

[ Keys clacking ] We narrowed the field down to three guys, three men around ashland’s age, cause of death, down to every single detail. Psch.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: You know what? That one right there looks very promising.

Phyllis: Yeah. Ashland number two.

Nick: He fits the profile. He best supports our theory.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Are you sure you want to do this?

Nick: I have to.

Phyllis: I know you have to. But I really, really want you to think about it. This could change everything. And I mean your relationship with your father, your relationship with your sister, with ashland himself, the merger, everything.

Nick: I can’t walk away.

Phyllis: I just want you to think about it for a minute.

Nick: Phyllis, we talked about this.

Phyllis: I know we just talked about it. It was conjecture. But, I mean, things are about to get real.

Nick: Well, you said you knew I was doing this for the right reasons.

Phyllis: And you are. I truly believe that. You’re doing it because you love your sister. And — and that’s beautiful. But it just seems like, all the conversations you told me that you’ve had with victoria… she knows something shady is going on and she doesn’t want to admit it.

Nick: Well, if we come up with some dark secret about ashland, I just have to hope she knows it’s coming from the right place because I love her so much and respect her.

[ Sighs ] It’s just… I can’t quit. I got to see this through.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Then we’re gonna do this. One of these three men might have been the real ashland locke.

Nick: And if that’s true, then who is this man that my sister is planning to marry?

Ashland: Well, you have nothing to worry about as far as I’m concerned or my past.

Victor: Well, then, ashland, I suggest we look forward to the future.

Ashland: Nothing would make me happier. This calls for a drink.

Billy: Well, if it isn’t two captains of industry soon to be joined by law. Fil and sil.

Ashland: I beg your pardon?

Billy: Father-in-law, son-in-law. The big day’s fast approaching. Very exciting. A lot of moving parts. It’s funny how forgetting one small little detail can bring the whole thing crashing to the ground. That would be a shame. Good day.

Victor: Billy boy. You cause one second of heartache for my daughter during this happy time… I will crush you.

Billy: Good to know. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Come in.

Phyllis: Hey!

Victoria: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Victoria: What brings you by?

Phyllis: Well, um… oh, my goodness. Wow. That’s a statement.

Victoria: Yes. Well, you’re not the first to react the way. That was the idea. I mean, it was ashland’s idea. He had it commissioned.

Phyllis: Really? Oh. Th-that’s sweet. I bet that didn’t score points with your dad.

Victoria: Oh, actually, he was here earlier, and he loves it.

Phyllis: He does? Wow. Okay. Well, do you have his portrait? Because nick needs a dart board for our rec room.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] That’s funny. Thank you so much for the laugh. I appreciate that. So, what — what are you doing here?

Phyllis: Um, you forgot your bracelet, um, when you were getting your facial at the spa, so…

Victoria: Oh. You delivered it personally? Did my brother put you up to that?

Phyllis: No. Why would he?

Victoria: I was just looking for a logical reason.

Phyllis: Well, I do nice things for people someti–

Victoria: But not for me, no.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, I-i was in the neighborhood. I had errands, and I thought i would just bring it by. Don’t make a big deal about it.

Victoria: I’m trying not to, but that’s two days in a row now that you’ve been kind.

Phyllis: Civil.

Victoria: Almost downright friendly.

Phyllis: Okay, don’t get carried away. “Friendly.” I mean, I have a reputation to uphold.

Victoria: Noted, noted. But I’m definitely sharing this with my brother. I think he’ll be just as surprised as I am.

Phyllis: Why do you say that?

Victoria: Or maybe there’s something else going on here?

Phyllis: Listen, you’re about to get married and you’re nick’s sister and I just want us all to be happy.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Is that your groom?

Victoria: It’s abby.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I’ll let you take that.

Victoria: Phyllis. Thank you, um, you know, for taking the trouble for this.

Phyllis: My pleasure. See you.

Victoria: Abby. I’m so glad you called.

Billy: Lily, I’m telling you, this gaines guy — he knows exactly what ashland is trying to hide. Well, you saw the look on his face when he saw that I was talking to gaines. And he tries to pawn it off like it’s his east coast attorney. Give me a break. So, here’s the thing. Gaines said that he will give us an exclusive if the price is right. And if he delivers, I promise you it’ll be worth every penny. I’m gonna meet up with him in a little bit to discuss. I’ll call you after? I will. Okay. I love you, too. Bye.

[ Cellphone clatters ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] So much for the big italian wedding.

Victoria: You did what?!

Abby: I couldn’t let you get married to a guy without having a heart-to-heart with him first.

Victoria: And? What did you think?

Abby: I can see why you fell in love with him. Ah, his face every time he mentioned your name — he just lit up. And all of those stories about him being a monster — they’re total garbage, okay? He is a sweetheart, and I will defend him to anyone who says different.

Victoria: Have I told you lately that you are the best sister in the entire world? I’m so glad that you got to spend some time with him.

Abby: I am so happy for you, victoria. He’s smart and funny and powerful. You have finally met your equal. You deserve this.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Your carpets are filled with memories.

Nick: Alright, thanks so much. I appreciate it. I will see you shortly. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: Hey, look at you. You’re already packed.

Nick: Jet’s gassed up and ready to go. I’m gonna fly to new jersey and then go down to toms river and follow up on those three deceased young men that we tracked down, one of whom could be the real ashland locke.

Phyllis: Wow, this is all coming together really fast.

Nick: Thanks to you. I never could have done this without you.

Phyllis: Yeah…

Nick: Everything alright?

Phyllis: Yeah. I just keep on thinking about the position that victoria is in. That’s all.

Nick: Look, she’s gonna be better off if she knows the truth, whatever it is.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I don’t know…

Nick: Phyllis —

Phyllis: You’re doing the right thing. I believe you are doing the right thing. You’re a very good brother.

Nick: Thanks. Hopefully I come back with some answers.

Victoria: Thank you so much for calling, abby. Yes, of course we’re gonna get together soon. And give my love to dominic. Okay. Love you. Bye. There you are! I was actually starting to worry until I got a call from abby.

Ashland: Well, what’s the verdict? Did I pass the brother-in-law test?

Victoria: Yes, it seems like you’ve made quite the impression.

Ashland: Ah, well, it was good to get to know your sister better, even though I had to postpone some of my own personal business.

Victoria: Does that personal business include the surprise that you were alluding to earlier? You know, the one that you were arranging some large amount of cash for.

[ Glass thuds]

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Finally.

Victor: Mr. Gaines, i presume? By the expression on your face, I guess you recognize who I am. Let’s talk about you. What are you up to?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Moses: Sharon’s not making you work, is she? Why are you really backing out of our date?

Victoria: I just heard that nick took the jet to new jersey. I want to know why.

Nikki: Back the hell off, billy, now. And do us all a massive favor. Don’t show your face at the wedding. You’re no longer welcome.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Just tell me, is my mom okay? Did she contact you? Okay. Sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you. I haven’t actually heard from your mom. But you — you just said —

[ Knock on door ] Hold on. Oh. Hiya, maxie. Hi. Hey, britt. Wait a second. Wait a second. Is this about liesl? Okay, I spoke with nina, and I have some information on liesl’s disappearance.

[ Cellphone ringing ] What’s up? Hey, are you busy? Kind of. I’m at the gym. Volleyball practice got canceled. Ah, I see. Well, how long until you’re done? About an hour. Why? Well, I’m with trina at charlie’s right now, and she wants to run a theory by you. Mm, I kind of want to finish my workout. Can it wait an hour? Did kevin leave? Yes, just now. Where’s esme? She left a little while ago. Kickboxing, and she mentioned something about going to some interior design boutique after. She wants to redecorate her room.

[ Chuckles ] Boy, she’s full of ideas. Yeah. Esme is all about creativity and thinking outside the box. And you chose to miss all of that to hang with your father? Lesser of two evils.

[ Chuckles ] You okay? Yeah. I mean, sonny’s back. I’M… beyond grateful that he’s alive. Yeah, me, too. But underneath all that joy, I just keep wondering… …what happens next?

[ Sighs ] You stalking me? No, I, um — I was taking this to my brother’s grave site, and I saw someone here, and I wasn’t sure if that was you. You didn’t recognize the wardrobe? Partly. But I didn’t know that you’d be up and around so soon. I know you left the clinic against medical advice. H-how — how you doing? A-are you feeling any after effects from that smoke inhalation — you don’t get to do that. Do what? Act like you give a damn. This is the grave site where my family grieved because of you. Don’t you think for a second… …that I’ll ever forget that!

Turns out, peter was tracking me. He knew I went to texas, and then he followed me when I went to visit nina in nixon falls. When I left, he approached nina and pressured her to help him find louise. And when she refused, he tried to kill her. Is nina okay? Yeah, no thanks to peter. He tied up her and her friend and set the building on fire. Aw, for crying out loud, maxie, what does this have to do with liesl? Peter told nina liesl had been handled. Handled? What — what does — what does that mean, that — that he killed her? No, maybe that’s just what he wants everybody to think. I mean, “handled” could mean anything. Typical peter double-speak, you know? I mean, besides, he’s on the run, trying to find louise. Why take the time to abduct my mother? I was just about to get to that part. Hello, liesl. Finally. It’s been days. I’m going stir-crazy in this room. Your minions barely talk or look me in the eye, just a lot of nodding and smiling. I warned them not to fraternize. Well, I can’t have you charming my people into doing your bidding the way you did that poor fool kirk in geneva. I didn’t charm dr. Kirk. I survived him. Where have you been? I wanted to give you time to adjust to your… new reality. All you’ve done is give scott and britta time to find me. Now, why would they be looking for a dead woman? I’m glad esme’s making her room her own. I want you both to feel comfortable here. Oh, don’t worry. Esme is comfortable wherever she goes. Well, that’s an admirable trait. I’m glad to get to know more about the girl who’s captured my son’s heart. Esme is the coolest. She’s beautiful and smart. She tells it like it is. I never connected with anyone the way I connected with esme. Esme sounds very special. It’s good to have someone like her in your corner. That she is. Esme’s the best. Joss is at the gym right now. Are you good to hang out here for a while while she finishes up? Mm-hmm. Uh, hey, joss. Bottom line — esme’s up to something, and she’s dragging spencer

along with her. I’ll be right there. Josslyn, hi. Are you in the kickboxing class? Actually, I’m on my way out. Enjoy your class. Oh, josslyn, wait. You can’t leave. Sonny: You like my headstone? My family wanted to leave me a marker, even though they didn’t find my body. This is the place where they would grieve. Of course, I’m one state away thinking, “where’s my — the family who cares so much about me? They’re not looking for me.” You have every right to be angry with me. You’re damn right I do! You knew about this. And I was just going on with my life. You could have stopped it months ago, but you didn’t! I know it’s not enough to say, but I’m so sorry for the pain that I’ve caused you. Me? What about my family, my kids? Avery knew who I was, but donna… didn’t recognize me. I was like a stranger to her. And you say you — you know, you feel bad for what you did to me, but not one word… for my wife, carly. So, how’d it go after I left? Good. Uh, sonny stayed up practically all night with the kids. Yeah. I-I went up to bed to give them some time alone, and, uh, sonny — he slept in the guest room. So, I had, um, sonny’s clothes brought down from the attic, you know, everything I packed away. And he put on one of his suits this morning, and it was really great to see him looking like himself. I bet it was. What about you? Where did you go? Uh, home, to my apartment. You haven’t lived there in a while. Yeah, well, you and the kids needed me here. You don’t anymore.

didn’t you say that there weresurveillance cameras in the parking garage? That’s how they knew you didn’t shoot jason. Maybe I can get my mom to see if the hospital security will let me look at the footage to see if esme was anywhere near ava’s car that night. I’m gonna be honest. I think involving your mom is a bad idea. I mean, do you remember the trouble I nearly got my mom in when I accessed the hospital records using her password? I get where you’re coming from. Then we’re back to trapping esme and spencer into confessing that they’re the stalkers. I don’t think that’s the right way, either. You sure are coming up with a lot of obstacles. How about you come up with some solutions? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just personally think that the best option is being straightforward. I mean, maybe if you, me, and joss, we talked to spencer — I already tried confronting esme and spencer, and it was a disaster. And, I mean, think about it. If they’re guilty, why would they just admit to it? You have a history with spencer. Is he the confessing type? No. Spencer’s fallback is always deny, deny, deny. Okay, then. We have to be as devious as esme and spencer. We have to lay a trap for them. I can’t leave? Why not? I just, uh, get the feeling you’re avoiding me. No. I need to be somewhere. Oh, too bad. I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to spend some time together, you know, hang out. Spence told me what a good friend you’ve been to him, and anyone important to him is important to me. Well, it sounds like things are getting pretty serious. Definitely. Did you know we just moved into wyndemere? I think he mentioned it, um, but things have been so crazy since sonny came back. Wait, what? Sonny corinthos, spencer’s uncle? I thought he was dead. Yeah. Turns out he’s not. Um, I’m sorry, esme. I-I have to change. People are waiting for me. Oh. No worries. Uh, there’ll be plenty of time to get together. I’ll be around. You know, I was really surprised when you introduced me to esme. It was a night of surprises. Starting with a party you hadn’t cleared with me.

[ Scoffs ] And ending with you terrorizing me and my guests. I hope you’ve found a way to forgive me for thinking you were ava’s stalker. We’ve already hit the reset button on that, haven’t we? I applaud your capacity to let go. I know how difficult that can be. Forgiveness does not come easy to us cassadines. Check. You stole months of my life to get back at carly. No, that’s not what it was about. Then why? Because I… because carly was t-trying to take wiley away from me. She was trying to erase me from his life. And you wanted to erase me from carly’s life. So you wanted to punish her, make her pay. All the talk about y-your grandson’s other grandmother and how unfair it was? No, but everything I said was true. I just want to be in his life. You even told me to fight for wiley. I did not say that! That was mike. Mike doesn’t exist. He’s a phantom and — and my name on the back of my father’s watch. I clung to that, to phyllis, to lenny, and — to me. I didn’t think I’d find you in nixon falls. I didn’t expect to — to keep you a secret, certainly not for all those months. I admit, at first, it was about carly. But the second I knew what happened to you, I picked up the phone, sonny, to tell her. And she — she threatened me with legal action, and I just froze. I couldn’t do anything. Yes, I held back. You wanted to hurt her. Yeah, I wanted to hurt her, as much as she hurt me. But that all changed when I got to know you as mike, sweet mike. And we got closer and closer. I didn’t plan any of this. I didn’t expect things to wind up the way they did.

[ Sniffs ] That’s it? That’s your excuse? That’s what — no. It just happened? No, there’s no excuse for any of it. I’m — I was just hoping that maybe… you’d understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. You stole my life from me. You know, I kept thinking about how, um, I thought we were gonna get so much pushback when we told people that we were getting married. And in the end, almost all of our family and friends said, “of course. It makes sense.” Because it did. You know, we got married because we thought sonny was dead. Otherwise, we never would have done it. Right. And now sonny’s back with his family where he belongs. But, jason, I can’t help but think… …if things would have been different… …we would have had a wonderful life together. Yeah, I think so, too. But, you know, that’s not — that’s not what happened.

[Inhales] What’s going on? Ava’s leaving port charles. She’s walking away from her entire life because of this whole stalker situation. Okay. But when you called me, you said that this was about spencer and esme. Well, I just ran into esme at the gym, and I am positive I was right the first time. That girl is not to be trusted. There’s just something about her. Right? She’s sketchy. Beyond. What do you think she’s gotten spencer into? I think spencer and esme are ava’s stalkers. They’re acting as a team. Sure, spencer was in wyndemere when ava’s car got torched, but that was also the night that esme showed up. And I know she had a supposed alibi, but it was lame. Look, I’m not defending spencer, but I do not see him torching a car. Because he didn’T. Esme did. Well, if they’re in on it together — maybe esme did it and spencer didn’t know about it, or maybe he did, and he was okay with it. Either way, they’re working together. Cam, you’re pretty silent. What do you think? Look, I know I’ve been pumping the brakes on this, but it is kind of weird, spencer being in town on the down-low for so long. I mean, he was really upset when — when ava refused to testify against valentin. That’s why my grandmother sent him away — for his own good. I mean, spencer, he can hold a grudge. And esme’s working him every chance she gets. I mean, I know that spencer likes to think that he’s all sophisticated, but I think he’s in way over his head with her. Esme’s very persuasive with “spence.” Game. So, why were you surprised by me and esme? What? You said you were surprised when esme showed up as my girlfriend. Why? Didn’t you think I had game?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I knew you had game. I’d just seen you with trina, and it seemed like you guys were connecting. And the couple times you mentioned her, it sounded like she was important to you. It’s not like that. I mean, trina’s great. And I like her a lot, but as a friend. All I can tell you is that night on the turret, you didn’t seem like a guy with a girlfriend. Nina had peter in her sights and didn’t call the cops? Or anna? So the trip to st. Lucia was a cover-up so that liesl could knock off peter august? That was the general impression that I got. What the hell? She should have called the cops. Okay, nina couldn’t call the cops ’cause peter was blackmailing her. W-what would he be blackmailing her over? Sonny. Sonny? What — what the hell does he have to do with this? I already know, maxie. Jason told me. Alright. You two girls now need to tell me what is going on.

[ Sighs ] Sonny corinthos is alive. You need to say that again, because, uh, I-I-I’m starting to think I’m in the middle of a nightmare. Sonny corinthos is alive and well. He came home last night. Of course he did, because he’s impossible to kill, ’cause he’s like a palmetto bug! Okay, you know what? I think that we should refocus here. Um… okay, liesl told nina to tell peter that there was a lead on louise in st. Lucia and that anna and valentin were hot on the trail. Nina thought that would convince peter to go, but somehow, peter found out what was going on and turned the tables on them. So we were gassed up. They hijacked the plane. Wait a minute. That’s why liesl said that she can’t die. She needs to help nina. Britt: Plane crashes are peter’s M.O. He did it to silence drew cain. I mean, who’s to say he wouldn’t do it again? Yeah, but wait a minute. Why would they chuck me out like a sack of potatoes? I mean, I was a loose end. And — and where’s the evidence of the plane crash? Because there wasn’t one. My mother’s not dead. Victor, let’s stop this cat and mouse. You’ve proven you can get to me whenever you want. That being the case, let me go back to port charles. I have urgent business there. Family business — a grandson, a very troubled niece, and, oh, yes, that bumbling idiot you call a boyfriend. I also have a daughter who needs ihre mutter now more than ever. Yes. Britt’s diagnosis is troubling. Huntington’S. Dreadful disease. Yet one more reason to hate her father. Cesar is dead. Hating him is a waste of time and energy. I must focus… on my daughter. I was supposed to attend a medical conference touching on cutting-edge research for her condition. Remarkable how a symposium on inherited diseases just happened to pop up into your inbox at this exact moment in time. There was no medical conference.

[ Sighs ] It was a trap. Have you no shame?! Why should I be ashamed? Everything’s worked out neatly. I-I’d always planned to bring you here anyway. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. And now you detain me when britta needs me. She needs you alive. You see, I saved you from yourself. Oh, we both know you had bigger plans in st. Lucia than merely attending a medical conference. You took advantage of the situation. You didn’t give a damn about me or my real life. And while I was cleaning beer off of a-a bar, the entire empire that I built, everything that I cared about, was threatened! But you — but you were away from all that.

[ Chuckles ] No, listen. You were away from the mob for once. You weren’t in danger. You were safer in nixon falls than you ever would be here in port charles. So you were protecting me? Is that what you’re saying? For my own good? It’s not your job, and I don’t want it. I’m not some drifter, you know, living off the kindness of strangers. I could — I could have taken all the worry from phyllis and lenny. I could have made a call and — and just erased all their debt, given — I would have given them security. And maybe for just a little bit of time… lenny could have had some peace. What you gave lenny and phyllis was so much more important. You gave them friendship, love, and loyalty. You’re right. I lied to you. I kept you away from your family and your friends and your business. But you’re wrong about mike. He wasn’t just a hapless drifter. He…was loyal. He was hardworking. He was fearless. He was a devoted friend. He was a good man. Maybe the kind of man that you always longed to be. So take it from someone who had the privilege of knowing him up close and…personal. Mike the bartender was just as real as sonny corinthos. This morning, I walked in to the kitchen, and sonny was making coffee. Like always. Did it finally taste right? It did. I missed you. And I worried about you. You don’t have to worry. I’m fine. You always say that. Because it’s true.

[ Sighs ] I mean, things will just go back to the way they were. You know, it’s all we can do. You got a life and a — and a family with sonny. You’re a huge part of that life. Please tell me that’s not gonna change.

maybe we could somehow record spencer and esme without them knowing. What if I accuse them and then leave? Then they might say something incriminating when they think they’re alone. So you’re talking surveillance equipment? Okay, don’t hate me, but I’m the one having second thoughts now. I mean, esme is one thing, but do we really want to trap spencer? What if it exonerates him? That’s the outcome I’m hoping for. Joss, I think you’re right. Spencer’s in over his head with esme. But before she came and I was getting to know him, sure, spencer’s a lot, but beneath all that posturing and arrogance, there’s some real vulnerability, maybe even some kindness. I’d agree with that. Spencer can be astonishingly sweet… when he’s not being totally self-absorbed and oblivious. That’s why, despite everything, I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Despite myself, I’ve kind of gotten to like him. Spencer: Trina and i were good friends. Was that all? Because before I met esme, I thought the two of you were heading toward something. Okay, sure. There was an attraction, a spark. Trina’s beautiful, smart, direct. And she’s just a good person, you know, one of those people who genuinely wants to do the right thing without being too preachy. Why wouldn’t I like her? But it can’t go anywhere. Esme’s my person. Oh! Good, you’re together. Hey, what happened to, uh, kickboxing and home decor? I had to rush back to tell you. Spencer… your uncle is alive. What are you talking about? Sonny corinthos? He — he came home last night. Josslyn just told me. Uncle sonny’s alive? That’s fantastic! He’s — wait until you meet him, esme. Uncle sonny’s the best. If sonny’s back, avery’s protected. Ava won’t have to worry about her daughter so much. Uh, thank you, esme. I have to go.

[ Door opens, closes ] Why are you standing there grinning like the cheshire cat? Because my uncle, who I love, is alive. And your father just took off so fast that he left a vapor trail. Can’t you see this is a disaster? When I intercepted you, I also let peter know that he nearly walked into your trap. He was most appreciative. You will regret your dealings with peter. Everyone does eventually. And to be clear, that degenerate has threatened to kidnap my own beloved james and use him as a substitute for his own lost child. If that happens, if peter gets his hands on james or harms nina or maxie or my britta, I will hold you responsible. Oh, I’m well aware of the hazards associated with peter, though I still think henrik suits him better. If you’re trying to win me over by disparaging peter, don’t waste your breath. I loathe him. But that doesn’t make me feel any warmer towards you. It’s not good strategy to antagonize me, liesl. Have I hurt your feelings? You’re acting against your own interests. Britt may not have long before her symptoms manifest. Do you really want to spend what could be her last healthy months here, locked up in this room? What do you want? Forget your foolish, stubborn pride. And let me back into your heart. Whew! No, I-I’m okay. Okay, I’m just relieved. I was really afraid. Look, I-I pray that you’re right, but what makes you think that liesl still alive? Scott just said it. He’s a liability. Peter hates loose ends. If he wanted to kill my mother, he would have crashed the plane, whether you were on it or not. Maybe he’s holding my mother hostage for leverage. Oh, this is the first time I feel confident that we can find my mother and rescue her, assuming she doesn’t rescue herself first. Well, now, wait, I wasn’t just, you know, given the bum’s rush and thrown out of that plane. I’m here. I’ve got a new mission, and that’s to save your mother’s life. Just because I remember who I am now doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten… what happened… the last nine months. I remember when you came to me, we — we were talking. We were dancing. Mm. I remember everything. How you led me on and didn’t say anything. That’s unforgivable! I know. That’s all you got to say? I have plenty to say, but none of it’s gonna make a difference. All my reasons, my justifications, my excuses that I made to myself, it’s not gonna make a difference. Yes, I was angry with carly. But nothing I did in nixon falls was malicious. Just the opposite. I would see you… how you were there. You were laughing. You were at peace. I wanted to give that to you. I didn’t know what I’d lost. I didn’t know what your lies took from me. I hope I didn’t cause any problems between you and carly. I know you’re not going to believe this, but all I ever wanted… was for you to be happy. Jason: I’m not going anywhere. No matter what it costs? It costs me nothing. You can’t lose what you never had. And what you have with sonny, that’s — that’s real. So, did he say anything else about where he’s been? Um, just, um… a small town in pennsylvania and that the locals were good to him. I think he’s waiting to talk to you about it, I think. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Sonny’s never gonna understand the big hole he left in our lives when he disappeared. Or the void I would have fallen into if it weren’t for you. Yeah. We were there for each other. Like always.

hey, lighten up. You’ll love my uncle sonny. He’s a little intense at times, but when he loves you, he’s got your back 100%. That’s what I’m worried about. Didn’t you hear your father? He said sonny could protect avery, which takes away ava’s incentive to leave. Where do you think your father’s heading right now? Ava. Just when we were this close to breaking them up for good. We have to do something. Hey, guys. Uh, is ava around? She wasn’t at the gallery. That’s because she already said her goodbyes. Can I talk to you for a second? I know how close you and ava are. I’m sorry, mr. Cassadine. I have to stop you right there. I can’t tell you anything ava told me in confidence. I get that, but I need to know where ava went. If I can find her, I might be able to stop her from leaving port charles. How? I don’t have time to explain. All I can say is that the situation has changed. Will you help me? You say you’ll let me see britta? Why should i trust your word? Because, as you can plainly see, I-I still have feelings for you. I can plainly see you’re trying to manipulate me, lure me into complacency. Oh, no, just the opposite. You’re a brilliant woman, liesl. I-I want us to help each other.

[ Chuckles ] You have a strange way of asking for my help. A gilded cage is still a cage.

[ Sighs ] Collaborate with me on a certain research project, and I guarantee you’ll have contact with your daughter. And if I refuse? Then you stay here, far away from your last surviving child. All those years you spent devoted to faison, and how did he repay you? By murdering your beloved son. Britt’s all you have left. She’s a lovely woman. She reminds me a lot of you. No sign of huntington’S… yet. And I can give you a way to be with her. All you have to do… is cooperate. Well, I’m glad that, um, we requested donations to the alzheimer’s association in lieu of presents, ’cause now I don’t have to return anything for the shortest marriage in history. I mean, how long were we married? Three hours tops? I mean, I know it wasn’t legal, but, um… …I meant the vows when I said them. Yeah, so did I. We’ll be okay, right? We are okay. You’ve got me, and I’ve got you. No matter what. No matter what.

[ Sighs ] Sonny: Don’t worry about carly and me. I’m at home with my family… where I belong. Good.

[ Sighs tearfully ] I’ll try to stay out of your way. I’m really, really sorry about all the pain that I caused you and your family and the time that I took from all of you. I’m sorry. And I’m really sorry about letting you fall in love with me. I should’ve known better. And I sh-should have known better than to fall in love with you, too.

I could help you, but ava might already be gone. You think she already left? She did say something about making one last stop and some unfinished business. Okay. Thanks. What was that about? Inspiration. I know how we can trap esme and spencer. Don’t over-think this. Ava’s leaving today. She might already be gone. Father can try all he likes. He won’t change her mind. Should we really take that chance? After all our hard work? Our hard work paid off. Ava made up her mind. Any last-minute appeal made by my father won’t make a difference. Mother’s been in tight situations before and survived, okay? We just need a lead. Some idea of where she might be. Look, liesl’s held her own with peter before, okay? Uh, he’s so arrogant and overconfident. Yeah, well, now, that will be his downfall, because letting me live — big mistake, because I am going to find liesl, and I’m gonna take peter august out! I can’t lose britta, not after losing my nathan. I have no choice but to trust that you’ll keep your word. Oh. Don’t worry, my darling. The worst is over now. Wrong again, “darling.” Whatever happened in nixon falls is over. Yeah, you’re back in your life. I accept that. But I can’t pretend the last nine months didn’t happen. Mike will always be in my heart. You need to stop fooling yourself. Mike’s gone. You need to forget that he ever existed. I can’t do that. I will never forget what mike and I shared.

[ Sighs ] You good?

[ Sighs ] Is it weird for you? Yeah, I mean, it’s a little weird. But it’ll wear off. But getting there is gonna be, um… yeah. Yeah. I know. We’ll get there. Well, I got to go. Um, I-I’m gonna have to talk to diane about this whole buscema and novak thing. I know the cops are gonna call, so… hey. There’s still something we need to talk about. What are we gonna tell sonny?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: I told you we should have brought an umbrella.

Ciara: [Laughs] How was I supposed to know that we were gonna get caught in a downpour on our way home from the jazz club? It was your idea, remember?

Ben: Yeah. Well, if beats waiting for a ride share. Besides, a little stroll in the rain never hurt anybody.

Ciara: Yeah. Go ahead and speak for yourself. I am an absolute mess right now.

Ben: Really? You look perfect to me.

Ciara: [Chuckles]

[Tender music]

 

Chanel: Sorry I’m late.

Johnny: No worries. Did you have second thoughts about coming over here tonight?

Chanel: Not at all. Just slightly nervous about watching “the exorcist” for the first time.

Johnny: Oh, I didn’t think you’d bail over a movie. I thought maybe my sister convinced you to ghost me.

Chanel: Johnny, we went over this. Allie said she apologized for calling you a player and that she was totally fine with it if I wanted to date you.

Johnny: And she meant it?

Chanel: Doesn’t matter. It’s my decision, and I have decided to allow you to bask in the pleasure of my company.

Johnny: [Chuckles] And for that, my dear lady, I’m very grateful.

 

Steve: Poor doug. Is he gonna be okay?

Kayla: Well, it’s too soon to tell, but he was resting comfortably when I left.

Steve: Do you have any idea why he collapsed?

Kayla: It’s a mystery actually. I mean, all the readouts were inconclusive.

Steve: How’s julie dealing with all this?

Kayla: Well, she’s rattled, as you can imagine.

Steve: You said she’s worried doug might have dementia?

Kayla: Yeah. And now this. What they’re going through, it just breaks my heart. And god forbid she loses doug. I don’t know what she’d do.

[Monitor beeping]

[Door opens]

Eli: Hey, grandma.

Julie: Oh, eli. Darling, I was just about to call you.

Eli: Hey, I’m so sorry I had to leave earlier. We did arrest a suspect, but this was as soon as I can get back.

Julie: Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. The important thing is you’re here now.

Eli: Yeah. How’s doug?

Julie: Well, stable. Doctors gave him a lot of sedatives so he could rest. Thank god.

Eli: Wait, sedatives? What happened?

Julie: I don’t know. The session with marlena went on and on and on, and I finally wanted to check on him so I opened the door and he was on the floor. I thought we’d lost him, eli.

Eli: Where was marlena?

Julie: There. I mean, she was standing right there, she was in shock. Took quite a while, she finally called for assistance. Eventually, she told me he’d collapsed. But getting an answer out of her was like pulling teeth.

Eli: I–then, I guess it’s like you said. She was in shock, but I mean, she has known you and doug forever, but…

Julie: Darling, to be perfectly honest, marlena was not herself.

[Eerie music]

 

Demon marlena: [Winces] You and I made quite a splash all those years ago, didn’t we, marlena? But mark my words. Salem ain’t seen nothing yet.

[Laughing maniacally]

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

[Gentle music]

 

Ciara: Hey, how about we get out of these wet clothes?

Ben: You are just full of these exceptional ideas tonight, aren’t you?

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: Mrs. Weston.

Ciara: Hmm.

Demon marlena: Ooh. What an absolute sight to behold! What’s it been? About 25 years? You look absolutely marvelous, marlena.

[Chuckles] Why, if I didn’t know better, I’d–I’d think you had made a deal with the…

[Laughs] With me. Oh, and speaking of deals, it’s a very good thing that you let me back in, because if you hadn’t, that old soul, doug would be paying the ultimate price.

[Laughs]

John: Oh, geez. I’m sorry that took so long, doc. You know, I get all the way over there and they tell me that they mixed up our order and they– they mixed up our order and they gave our…food away. Doc, you all right?

[Ominous music]

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, I still feel bad about not being in the mood tonight–to entertain.

Both: [Laugh]

Abe: Look, I told you. I understand. We’ll have john and marlena over another time.

Paulina: No, right, right. Of course.

Both: [Laugh]

[Mellow music]

 

Abe: [Sighs] I have to tell you. I really enjoy us being together. Just the two of us.

Steve: Abraham! Come on over.

Paulina: Well, so much for just the two of us.

Both: [Laugh]

Abe: Well, well, well. Hello there.

Steve: Hey, man.

Abe: Yeah.

Kayla: Abe, it’s so good to see you. And you must be paulina price.

Paulina: Oh. [Chuckles] That would be me.

Kayla: Oh, it’s so nice to meet you. We’ve heard so much about you.

Paulina: Oh, and you must be steve and kayla johnson.

Kayla: Yeah. Oh.

Steve: How do you know that?

Paulina: Because you are exactly as abe described you.

Steve: Ah, let me guess. He told you about the patch?

Paulina: [Chuckling] Oh, no. Abe showed me a photo that the two of you were in from a salem celebration. Now, as I saw it, you, kayla, are the beautiful blue-eyed blonde, and you, mr. Johnson, are the sexy pirate.

Steve: Oh.

Paulina: Oh, even more so in person actually–sexy, I mean.

Steve: Okay, okay. You’re gonna make me blush.

[Laughter] How about you guys join us for dinner?

Kayla: Yeah, do.

Paulina: That would be lovely.

Abe: That’s great, yes. Here you go, my dear.

Paulina: Mm, ah. And, ah–I sure do see the resemblance.

Steve: Resemblance?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. I do believe I’ve met another good-looking member of your family. Oh, yes, same color hair, same color eyes.

Steve: Must be talking about my son.

Paulina: Yep, who you must be so proud of, on his way to becoming a doctor.

Kayla: Well, we’re both so proud of him.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Steve: So how did you meet tripp?

Paulina: Oh, well, he’s an acquaintance of my daughter. Such a charming young man.

[Chuckles]

Johnny: Listen, I, uh… I kind of need you here.

Chanel: You need me? To watch a movie you’ve already seen a bunch of times?

Johnny: Yes. I’m doing research on my movie and I want your opinion.

Chanel: So you’re still planning to make the movie about your mom?

Johnny: Is that a problem?

Chanel: Uh, yes. Because didn’t your grandmother get possessed by the devil? And according to allie, your grandfather doesn’t want you dredging up the past.

Johnny: Eh, I’m sure he’ll come around. Now, will you do me a solid and watch this movie with me, please?

Chanel: And I have a feeling I am so gonna regret this, but sure.

Eli: Why would doug say he went into her? Who is he? And who is her?

Julie: I haven’t the faintest idea.

Eli: Maybe he was just confused and didn’t know what he was saying.

Julie: Yeah. Yeah, that’s the logical answer. I’m not sure it’s right.

Eli: Why is that?

Julie: When he had these experiences, when he locked me in the freezer, when he groped paulina, there was a look, an expression in his eyes unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Not like himself. Then a little while ago when he tried to talk to me, he was my precious doug again. He was not confused, and he was trying to tell me something.

Eli: Tell you what, grandma?

Julie: [Sighs] I have no idea.

Doug: [Muttering]

Julie: Oh, he’s waking up.

Eli: Maybe now we can get some answers.

John: Hey, doc.

[Chuckles] Did you just hear anything that I just said?

[Mystical music]

 

Marlena: Sorry. I was lost in thought about doug.

John: Oh. Any updates on his condition?

Marlena: Not since I left the hospital.

John: Hmm, I’m sure julie must be a wreck.

Marlena: Julie. Yeah. Julie is overwrought.

John: You look a little shaken yourself, honey. Probably for the best that abe and paulina canceled our dinner today.

Marlena: Yeah, I–I would not have been up for that.

John: Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to leave this out.

Marlena: Why were you going through that?

John: Well, I dug it out of the closet after johnny left. He was–he was hoping to get an answer whether or not you and i were gonna finance his film.

Marlena: Oh, yes, the sami movie.

John: And… what happened to you.

Marlena: You can say it– when I was possessed by the devil.

John: I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. I was just hoping that we would never have to think about that time in our lives again– that we had, you know, just put that horrific experience decades behind us. But, no, no, no. Here comes johnny. He’s just gonna dredge that old thing up. I gotta tell you. Got a bad feeling about that, doc. Is olay better than your clean beauty?

[Tender music]

 

Ciara: [Sighs]

[Thunder rumbling] Is new orleans the perfect place for a honeymoon or what? The music, the food…

Ben: The lovemaking.

Ciara: [Laughs] Well, maybe that is perfect everywhere we go.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: And it’s definitely my favorite part of the honeymoon.

Ben: Mine too.

Ciara: Mm.

[Sighs]

Ciara: But you know, if I had to choose something for second place, I really did enjoy being around oak alley. But not only because of what it meant for my parents, but because it was such a powe anth

Ben: Yeah, I agree.

Ciara: Yeah. I could tell that the experience really affected you too.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: You were really quiet after we left. Was there something on your mind?

Ben: Actually, yeah. Just something the tour guide said.

Ciara: Ashleigh? What did she say?

Ben: She said in order for us to move forward, you have to reckon with your past. And anything that was built on violence or ugliness will always be there underneath the surface. You can’t ignore it.

Ciara: Yeah. I remember her saying that too, but what does that have to do with you?

Ben: In a way, I felt like she was talking about me.

Chanel: What the– why is she walking like that? Oh, hell no, turn it off. Turn it off!

Johnny: Okay. Not a fan of the spider walking scene.

Chanel: A fan? Now I’m gonna have nightmares for months. How is a movie that’s almost 50 years old this scary?

Johnny: The director’s a fricking genius, that’s how. William friedkin. I mean, the way that he depicts regan’s possession and displays it on screen, that’s unmatched even today with all the cgi. I’ll be lucky if my movie turns out half as well. What? Why aren’t you saying anything?

Chanel: Johnny, don’t do it. Do not make your movie.

Paulina: Mmm, mmm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mmm! Well, this is the juiciest burger I have ever chomped down on.

Kayla: My brother roman knows his way around a grill.

Paulina: Mmm. A man who can cook? In my book.

Abe: Well…

Steve: Judging by the smile on paulina’s face, I’d say you’ve been showing off your culinary skills to this lovely lady.

Paulina: He sure has. He’s a whiz in the kitchen.

[Laughter]

Abe: Well, actually, I was going to cook dinner tonight.

Paulina: Oh, now come on. Don’t make me feel bad. Abe invited john and marlena over for dinner tonight, but I wasn’t up for, you know, entertaining, but I mean, abe tells me that john now has had a lot on his mind lately so I guess it’s worked out for the better anyway, right?

Abe: Hmm.

Steve: John okay?

Abe: Yeah, you know, he’s okay. It’S… he’s been ruminating a lot about the past lately.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, oh?

Steve: Well, he didn’t say anything to me about it. What’s going on?

Paulina: Come on, honey. Don’t just drop things like that then clam up. Tell us, tell us what the man was ruminating about.

Abe: Well, he’s been thinking a lot about the time when marlena was possessed by the devil.

Paulina: [Chokes, coughs]

Doug: [Groaning]

[Monitor beeping] Julie?

Julie: Yes, darling. Yes, I’m here, and so is eli.

Doug: [Laughs softly]

Julie: Sweetheart, you’re in the hospital. You had a little fall. You’re gonna be okay. Do you remember what happened to you?

Doug: Huh?

Julie: You were in a therapy session and you collapsed.

[Tense music]

Doug: Huh. Marlena.

Julie: Yes. Yes, marlena was with you.

Doug: H-help… marlena.

Marlena: So what did you say to johnny about the movie?

John: Well, I told him that I would have to finish discussing it with you and then I’d get back to him with an answer.

Marlena: Did he ask about possession?

John: No, not directly. In fact, when he came over, he hadn’t even read that part of his script yet. But obviously he has now because he sent allie over here to confirm that that story was true.

Marlena: Oh, and what did you tell her?

John: I lied to her, said it never happened. And then I started feeling guilty so I told her the truth, but I made sure she understood that in the end, good triumphed over evil.

Marlena: Right.

John: A little tricky explaining the exorcism, though–you know, how I performed it believing I was a priest at the time even though it turned out later I wasn’T.

Marlena: Certainly had me fooled about that.

John: Excuse me, what was that?

Marlena: Uh, nothing. I was, uh, just saying that none of us really understood it.

John: Well, thankfully, it didn’t matter if I wasn’t a priest because you were saved. And you know something? After all these years, going through that box has just reinforced my belief that it was our love that defeated the devil– well, that and of course, our faith in god.

Marlena: Put that– put that damn thing away!

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

[Thunder rumbling]

Ciara: Ben, I don’t think that what ashley said about oak alley applies to you.

Ben: No, I know that. But her words… still got to me.

[Sighs]

Ciara: Yeah, but you haven’t been ignoring your past. Actually, you have been actively facing it.

[Soft dramatic music]

You have been going to therapy, you’ve been acknowledging the pain that you caused others, and you’re doing your best every day to try to make up for it.

Ben: Doesn’t change who I am. I was a man even capable of murder, and no matter how much I try to atone for what I did, for the lives I took, it’s always gonna be a part of me. For the rest of my life.

Paulina: [Coughing] Whew, that fry went down the wrong way.

Abe: Are you okay?

Paulina: [Coughing] Yeah. Except I thought I heard you say that marlena– dr. Marlena evans was possessed by the devil.

Abe: Yes. Yes. You did hear that, that’s why I didn’t wanna get into it.

Paulina: [Scoffs] Come on. He’s pulling my leg, right? I mean–oh, that can’t possibly be true.

Kayla: Oh, we certainly heard the stories.

Steve: Yeah, but we weren’t in town at the time.

Abe: Well, I was, and I can assure you that it really did happen.

Paulina: Oh, you– wait, come on, you’re telling me that the devil, also known as satan himself was here in salem?

Abe: Yeah. I mean, you know, you can imagine how horrifying that was for john and marlena– for everyone in this town, in fact.

Kayla: But that was decades ago. Why is john dwelling on that?

Abe: Because– now wait for it– johnny dimera is making a movie about sami’s life.

Steve: Wow, sounds ambitious.

Abe: Yet his ambitious and very disturbing since marlena’s possession is going to be part of it.

Johnny: It’s just a movie, chanel. The wonderful world of pretend.

Chanel: Was it pretend when it happened to your grandmother?

Johnny: We don’t know for sure that it did.

Chanel: Allie said your grandfather confirmed it.

Johnny: Look, if it’s a true story, even better. It’s gonna help me sell my movie.

Chanel: But–

Johnny: Trust me. There’s nothing to worry about. Now, can we finish watching this movie?

Chanel: [Sighs] I don’t know.

Johnny: If you get scared, just, uh, squeeze my hand.

Chanel: All right. But you’re paying for my therapy bills.

[Ominous music]

 

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, sweetheart, what’s going on? Why are you so upset?

Marlena: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I can guess you’re right. I guess you’re right, you know, this–this whole conversation, all these bad memories, I guess I’m just a little bit on edge.

John: Well of course you are. I’m right there with you.

Marlena: Yeah. Why don’t you–why don’t you just put that back in the box and then–and maybe we can stop talking about it.

John: Yeah. You see what’s going on here? This is exactly why johnny shouldn’t be making a movie about any of this stuff here. You know, in a way, I just feel it’s inviting evil back into our lives.

Marlena: Yes. I think you could be right about that.

Doug: [Mumbling, grunting]

Julie: Honey, just calm down. Calm down, we’ll get you help. We’ll get you help. Just be calm, sweetheart. Sweetheart, eli–eli, please, I wanna get a nurse and let her know that he’s awake. Would you watch him? I’m gonna call marlena too just in case she can come down.

Eli: Yeah, sure.

Julie: Make him feel better.

Eli: Okay.

Julie: Okay.

Doug: Marlena. Marlena.

[Grunting] Marlena. Did you know faded, dingy, and rough fabrics

[Thunder rumbling]

[Soft dramatic music]

 

Ciara: Baby, I get that your history is something that you can’t change, but you do not have to let your past define you. Can’t you just focus on all the good? And how much progress you’ve made? On how you saved my life, on how happy you make me, or doesn’t that count for something?

Ben: Of course it does.

Ciara: Well then, please stop torturing yourself.

Ben: Just easier said than done right now. My past has been on my mind a lot lately.

Ciara: Why now?

Ben: Full confession. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since…

Ciara: Since what?

Ben: Since you said you wanted to have a baby.

Paulina: Excuse me. I’ve gotta use the little girl’s room.

[Laughs] Maybe say a few prayers while I’m in there.

Kayla: Always a good idea.

Paulina: I agree.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Paulina: Back in the minute.

Abe: Well, so what do you think of paulina?

Kayla: Oh, abe, she is terrific.

Steve: She’s great, man. And funny as hell.

[Laughter]

Ben: I am so glad you all like her because if everything goes my way, well, you’re gonna be seeing a lot of her.

Steve: What do you mean if everything goes your way?

Abe: Tomorrow night, I’m going to propose.

Kayla: Oh, we are so happy for you.

Steve: Oh, man.

Abe: Thank you, thank you.

Steve: Great news. Great, sir.

Abe: Yes, sir, yes, sir. Ah.

[Chuckles] Well, I’ve gotta tell you, I have it all planned out. Lani’s gonna keep her busy and then I’m going to– I’m gonna make this surprise dinner.

Steve: Oh, you gotta make sure to make all of her favorites.

Abe: Oh, I’ve already made note of that. And then I only have one thing left to do and that is to get her daughter’s blessing.

Johnny: Ow. Ow. Ow! I said squeeze my hand, not break it into a million pieces.

Chanel: Sorry, but this exorcism scene is just too much. I can’t take anymore.

Johnny: It’s the best part.

Chanel: No, no, if her spinning her head around 360 degrees is the best part, I’m good.

Johnny: You at least have to see how it ends. I’ll fast forward.

Chanel: I hope you know I wouldn’t be putting myself through this for just anyone.

Johnny: Just anyone? What are you saying, chanel? That I’m special?

Chanel: I’m saying you owe me, big time.

John: Good. So you agree then that johnny shouldn’t be making this movie?

[Cell phone ringing]

Marlena: Excuse me.

John: [Sighs]

Marlena: Hello?

Julie: Marlena, I am so sorry to disturb you.

Marlena: Well, hi. Is everything okay? I hope doug hasn’t taken a turn for the worst.

Julie: No. In fact, he just woke up.

Marlena: He woke up? I thought he was heavily sedated.

Julie: Yeah, well, he’s pretty groggy, but he’s very agitated.

Marlena: Really? About what?

Julie: Well, it’s almost impossible for me to understand him, but one thing was clear. He keeps saying your name.

[Foreboding music]

What can I du with less asthma?

[Thunder rumbling]

[Soft dramatic music]

 

Ciara: Ben, what does having a baby have to do with your past?

Ben: What if that sickness that made me do those horrible things got passed on to our child? Ciara, an innocent baby. Mental illness can be hereditary.

Ciara: Yes. I guess in some cases it can be. Wait a minute. All those concerns you had about having a baby with me– the extra financial burden, the childcare, the wanting to spend more time with me– those were all just excuses?

Ben: They were not excuses. Those are all legitimate concerns, ciara. I mean, having a baby changes your entire life.

Ciara: No, of course. I know that. But at the heart of it all, you not wanting to pass down your bad genes to our baby– that’s the reason why you wanna put this off?

Ben: Yes.

Abe: [Sighs] Well, she’s not picking up, so I guess I’ll stop by the bakery tomorrow and talk to her then.

Kayla: Well, I can’t imagine paulina’s daughter not approving of her mom marrying you, the mayor of salem, not to mention the greatest man on earth.

Steve: Not to mention, anyone can see how in love you two are.

Abe: Wow. It’s that obvious, huh?

Steve: It’s that obvious.

[Laughter]

Abe: Well, you know, this is crazy. I mean, I only met her earlier this year. Already, I can’t imagine living my life without her.

Kayla: You know, I think that she feels the same way. I mean, just the way she looks at you.

Steve: It’s so great that you’re getting married, man.

Kayla: We couldn’t be happier for you, abe.

Steve: Yeah.

Paulina: And why is that?

Marlena: It’s not a problem at all. I will. I’ll see you soon. Bye. I’m afraid I’ve gotta cut our evening short. Doug is asking to see me.

John: Oh, that’s all right. I understand. I’ll clean everything up here and put the leftovers away.

Marlena: Thank you.

John: Yeah. And please tell doug and julie I’m thinking about ’em.

Marlena: I will.

John: And I’ll say a prayer for ’em while you’re gone.

Marlena: How thoughtful of you.

John: Yeah. Bye, sweetheart.

[Foreboding music]

 

Demon marlena: I cannot have that bumbling old man telling people that I am back.

Doug: [Muttering]

Eli: Hey, a nurse came by to check doug’s vitals. He seems okay. Is marlena coming?

Julie: Yes. Darling.

Doug: What?

Julie: It’s your wife. I called marlena. She’s on her way. She’s coming to help you, sweetie.

Doug: No, no, no. Marlena, no.

Julie: What about marlena?

Doug: She needs help.

Julie: I don’t understand. Marlena is the one who needs help?

Doug: Yes.

Your mission:

[Thunder rumbling]

Ben: I’m sorry for not being upfront with you about my feelings, ciara. I just… I don’t ever want to disappoint you. And I know how much having a baby means to you.

Ciara: Means to us. Ben, can you just please be honest now, okay? If you’re saying that you don’t wanna pass down your genes to your baby, does that mean that you might never wanna have a baby with me?

Paulina: So why is it that you’re so happy for abe? Aside from the fact that he has such a fascinating dinner companion tonight.

[Laughter]

Kayla: Oh, well, that’s it, actually. We’re just so happy that the two of you found each other.

Steve: Yeah. And we’re looking forward to seeing a lot more of you because we think that you are definitely a keeper.

Paulina: Oh. I knew I liked you, both of you.

[Laughter] Oh, I gotta say. Well, salem is just brimming with some wonderful people.

Abe: Well, you know what?

Paulina: Mm-hmm?

Abe: The brady pub here is brimming with wonderful desserts. So is anyone interested?

Paulina: Always. But no devil’s food cake, not after what you told me about marlena.

Steve: Yeah. Better avoid that.

Paulina: You know, I still can’t believe that woman was possessed. That kind of thing, it only happens in the movies.

Chanel: [Sighs]

Johnny: See? It all worked out in the end. The devil was banished.

Chanel: Yeah. And the two priests ended up dead. I’m not sure I’d call that a happy ending.

Johnny: Ah, yeah. But that’s what ups the dramatic stakes. I mean, that’s the kind stuff that gets the people in the seats, which is why I’m scrapping the rest of will’s screenplay…

Chanel: Oh, thank god.

Johnny: And I’m rewriting it. I’m gonna go bigger. I’m gonna go better. I’m gonna make my grandmother’s possession the sole focus of my movie.

[Elevator dings]

Marlena: Ah.

Eli: Hey.

Marlena: Oh, hi.

Julie: Marlena, thank you. Thank you. I’m so relieved that you’re here.

Marlena: Of course. So has doug said anything since you called?

Julie: Well, no. He’s been mostly asleep, but he did say one thing…

Eli: Yeah.

Julie: That we found strange.

Eli: Initially, we thought that he was asking for your help, but turns out that he was saying you were the one that needed help.

Marlena: Oh. Well…

[Chuckles] He’s clearly confused. Poor man is having a very hard time communicating.

Julie: Yes, yes. I’m sure that’s it, and I’m just praying that you can put him at ease.

Marlena: Well, you know I’ll do whatever I can. Oh, something else?

Julie: I thought I’d go with you.

Marlena: Oh. You know what? I think it’s best if I see him alone.

Julie: Of course. Again, thank you for being such a great friend.

Marlena: Yeah.

Julie: Thank god she’s here.

[Sighs]

[Eerie music] =

John: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For thou art with me.”

Doug: [Grunting]

John: “Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever.”

Doug: [Grunts] Marlena.

Demon marlena: Doug, seems like you’ve been a little bit of a tattletale. I think we’ll just have to do something about that.

[ Phone chiming ]

Eric: Quinn, what’s that?

Quinn: Nothing.

Eric: We said we were gonna be honest with each other. It was carter, wasn’t it? You should go.

Quinn: Eric.

Eric: You should go. I want this for you.

Quinn: See you at home.

Eric: I’ll be waiting.

Ridge: Okay, what was that? What’s going on between you and quinn?

Finn: Paris, what’s wrong?

Paris: There’s something I need to tell you. Something important.

Finn: What is it? What’s– what do you need to tell me?

Ridge: I know. You’ve forgiven quinn. But I don’t trust her.

Eric: Well, I do trust her, and that’s the only thing that matters, isn’t it?

Ridge: Okay.

Eric: Ridge, I’m happy with the way things have turned out. The arrangement we have.

Ridge: The arrangement you have? That’s what you call your marriage now? It’s an arrangement?

Eric: You know what I mean?

Ridge: I don’t know what you mean? Dad, you say you’re happy, but I don’t see it. Are you happy?

Eric: Leave it alone, ridge. I want you to respect my decision. And I’d really like you to respect my privacy.

[ Phone keyboard tapping ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Ridge: Dad, I’m sorry. Believe you, I do believe you. I respect your privacy. If you think I’m prying, I’m not. Just worried about you.

Katie: Hi, gentlemen. Um, what’s going on?

Ridge: That’s what I’m trying to figure out.

Finn: Have I done something to upset you?

Paris: No, not at all.

Finn: Then, what’s going… what’s going on? Paris, what’s wrong?

Paris: It’s just being here with you and steffy. The generosity that you’ve shown me. I’m just feeling a lot of joy and appreciation. Because I’m happy for you two. The relationship that you have. Back together, just the way you should be.

Finn: Okay, yeah. But it seems a little more intense. Like there’s more going on.

Steffy: Is everything all right?

Finn: Yeah, well, paris said she has something she needs to tell me.

Paris: Tell you both. It’s time.

Steffy: Time for what?

Paris: For me to leave. But I am so grateful for you two giving me a place to stay. But I think it’s best for everyone if I move out. My plaque psoriasis…

Steffy: You’re leaving?

Paris: Yeah.

Finn: Because you want to or because you feel pressured to? Because I really hope that’s not the case. I mean, we enjoy having you here.

Paris: And I enjoy being here.

Steffy: Then why go?

Paris: You know, it was never supposed to be a permanent thing. And I wanna get out of the way before it feels like I’m taking advantage.

Steffy: We’d never…we’d never feel that way.

Paris: I know, but maybe I would start to feel like that. I adore your kids, and I adore you and finn. That’s why it’s time for me to leave.

Eric: Listen, I appreciate your concern, both of you. I have a good son. I have an even more wonderful next door neighbor. But look, I wouldn’t have taken quinn back if I didn’t want to have a life with her.

Ridge: A life. Your one life. Your one and only life. It doesn’t seem that you’re enjoying it.

Eric: Who says I’m not?

Ridge: Me! Everybody that sees you. You come in here with that face, your body language, just walking around, I know it. Why are you with this woman if she’s not bringing you any joy?

Eric: She does bring me joy!

Ridge: She does not bring you joy! I was here. I saw this weird goodbye thing you guys had. This almost hug, looking at each other. I don’t know what that is. It’s not two people that love each other, it was weird. It was sad. And where were you? What happened to you? The man that likes to go home and makes martinis for his wife and have a drink at the house?

Katie: Okay, ridge, I think you made your point, so let’s just– let’s just ease up a little bit.

Eric: Or a lot.

Katie: Eric is capable of making his own decisions.

Eric: Yes I am. Since before either one of you was born, as it turns out.

Ridge: Okay, yes. But sometimes, lately, you make decisions that cause you harm. So, I’m trying to help you avoid that.

Katie: Maybe the best way to help is to just listen. I mean, even if it’s hard for us to understand, eric is… eric is saying that his relationship with quinn is working for him.

Eric: She’s a wise woman here. Maybe you should listen to her, ridge. I’ve always admired that about you, katie. The voice of reason in the middle of chaos.

Katie: All right, well, let’s not misunderstand. I am concerned about you as well. And I am here for you if you ever want to talk.

Eric: You see the difference here, ridge? “If you ever want to talk” is what she offers instead of being forced into it.

Ridge: All right, all right.

Eric: And speaking of that, how about this evening, katie?

Katie: This evening?

Eric: Mm-hmm. Quinn will be out until pretty late. If you don’t have plans, maybe you’d like to stop by.

Katie: Um, okay, sure. I’d like that.

Eric: Good. All right.

Ridge: You know, they’re expecting you in the cutting room.

Eric: That’s where I’m going.

Ridge: Dad, you gotta understand something.

Eric: Yes, son, I know. I love you too.

Ridge: You heard that, right? Quinn is going out again.

Katie: Yeah, it’s strange.

[ Door knocking ]

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Finn: Do you have a new place lined up?

Paris: Working on it. Got a few leads. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.

Steffy: I’m not worried about you, I’m worried about us.

Finn: Yeah.

Paris: No, don’t be. You guys are more than fine. And that’s what makes me happy. Being here, seeing you guys together, I’ve gotten to see first hand how strong you two really are. And then, you know, sheila came into finn’s life and his loyalty never wavered from you. He’s so committed to you, steffy. It’s a beautiful thing. How lucky you two are to have each other.

Steffy: Yes we are. And we were so lucky to have this time with you. Honestly. We’re gonna miss you.

Finn: Yeah, and so will kelly and hayes.

Paris: Well, it’s not like I’ll be a stranger.

Steffy: You are welcome back any time you’d like. The kids will be so thrilled to see you.

Paris: Okay, I’m definitely coming back, then.

Finn: When are you planning on moving?

Paris: Depends on how quickly I find a place. But I’m looking at a few possibilities, closing in on one. So. Oh, I actually have to return a call about that and if it goes well, then I’ll be back to pick up my things.

Steffy: Okay, I guess, good luck. It sucks, but I get it.

Paris: Thank you for everything. You both have been so kind to me and I can’t thank you enough.

Ridge: Well, I’m happy dad has you for a neighbor.

Katie: I’ve actually been spending a lot of time over there lately.

Ridge: You have? With dad and quinn?

Katie: No, no. As you said, quinn has been out a lot.

Ridge: Yeah, and it’s weird, right? There’s something going on, here.

Katie: Well, whatever it is, eric seems okay with it.

Ridge: He does not seem okay with it. Did you see that guy? He seems defeated.

Katie: Yeah, I know what you mean. But he also seems to be actively encouraging it. Ridge, I don’t know what to say. The only thing we can do is hope that he reaches out to us if he needs to.

Ridge: He deserves better. So much better.

Katie: Yeah, I agree. I mean, he’s the kindest man I’ve ever known. What he puts out to the world, he should get back in return.

Ridge: He is kind, he is generous. And there are people who may take advantage of that.

Quinn: I wasn’t gonna come, and then I thought, “I don’t know, maybe we could just talk?” You’re laughing. And then you look at me like that.

Carter: Like what?

Quinn: Like that.

Carter: It’s okay, quinn. It’s safe. We had to stop ourselves the other day, so how about we pick up where we left off? Nope

Steffy: Kinda bums me out. I mean, I do understand why she had to leave.

Finn: Well, yeah. I mean, we can be a lot to handle.

Steffy: We can be a lot to handle? No, you can be a lot.

Finn: Oh, okay.

Steffy: Not me. No. But she is right about something. About the strength we have as a couple. Like, I feel like we’re in a good place now.

Finn: Yeah, sure does. It’s malibu. No better place in the world. Oh, you were talking about us.

Steffy: Yeah!

Finn: Oh, I see. That too. But, you do have to admit the view of the ocean is pretty amazing. And the, you know, the waves are always–

Steffy: I get what you’re trying to do. I know what you’re trying to do. You still want to go surfing. You wanted to do that before paris dropped the bomb.

Finn: You don’t mind?

Steffy: No, not at all. I mean, I should get back to work anyway. Especially while the kids are asleep.

Finn: You’re the best.

Steffy: You’re the best.

Finn: You’re the best.

Steffy: Don’t forget it.

Finn: Okay, I’m going surfing.

Steffy: Okay, bye.

Steffy: Ugh.

Finn: Won’t be long!

Steffy: I know. To work. Okay, um, where–okay.

Sheila: Hello, steffy.

Steffy: What! Sheila, what are you doing here? You are not welcomed here. Get out, now!

Katie: You know what I think? I really think that this is about loneliness.

Ridge: Loneliness, really? That’s why he’s staying with quinn?

Katie: Well, he doesn’t seem exactly thrilled about it, right? I mean, I’m sure he’s gotta still be hurting over her affair, but at the same time, he doesn’t want to be alone, so…

Ridge: So, it’s los angeles! There’s hundreds, thousands of women out there.

Katie: Quinn is familiar. You know? They have a routine.

Ridge: And what is that routine? He gets home, she’s not there because she left for the evening. What is that? What kind of marriage is that?

Katie: Please don’t harass him. And listen, I’m going over there tonight, okay? Maybe he’ll open up to me.

Ridge: Or maybe I’ll find out before then.

Katie: How?

Ridge: I have someone checking on her. I’ll find out what she’s up to.

Carter: Are you sure?

[ Door opening ] Justin?

Justin: You’re busted.

Billy: Oh, I’m sure johnny’s gonna love the da vinci science museum and the planetarium.

Lily: Oh, yeah, and they’ll both love the water park and leolandia. It’s gonna be a great family trip.

Billy: It is. Very excited about this. I got to be honest, I’m sure even the wedding will be a blasT.

Lily: Yeah, so please be careful how you choose to investigate ashland so you don’t get cordially uninvited.

Billy: Because he will come after us and chanccomm and i will rue the day? I’m not intimidated by him.

Lily: Well, maybe you should be.

Billy: Really? Look what happened with victor. After all the empty threats to come after us for the exposé on adam, it’s been nothing.

Lily: I don’t know if you realize, but victor still holds a very intense grudge against you, and I’m sure if things got ugly with ashland, he’d be on ashland’s side.

Billy: That’s because he sees ashland as a younger version of himself, especially the way he’s been so ingratiating with victor.

Lily: Well, I’m sure he sized victor up and realized that he’d be better as a friend than an enemy.

Billy: Yeah, maybe. See, but I’ve never sucked up to anybody, right? Especially not victor. I feel like that’s what you love best about me.

Lily: I do, I love that about you, but please don’t take any unnecessary risks.

Billy: Me? I would never.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Billy: Don’t look now, but that’s the guy I was talking about earlier, the one that met with locke.

Lily: Hmm.

Nick: Hey, do you know where I left my clean —

Phyllis: It was personal to jack, and I didn’t want to — i didn’t want to tell you his personal feelings.

Nick: Yeah, okay.

Phyllis: He was drinking, so, you know, there’s that. We do and say a lot of things we don’t mean when we’ve had a few.

Nick: Yeah, he did mention that.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. So I didn’t want to say anything. It has nothing to do with me, really. It has nothing to do with us. You know? It caught me off guard, to be honest with you.

Nick: I know you two have bonded over missing summer and kyle since they moved to italy. Are you sure you didn’t know how he felt?

Phyllis: How would I know how he felt?

Nick: I don’t know. I guess I just assumed you understood how unforgettable you are, you know? You’re not somebody that you just get over very easily.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, for sure, I’m not someone you get over easily. I’m glad it’s out in the open.

Nick: Yeah, jack mentioned that he felt badly that he left me in the dark.

Phyllis: Well, that’s nice of him. He’s a gentleman.

Nick: That he is.

Phyllis: This has nothing to do with us. You know that. I mean, this hasn’t changed anything with us. Right?

Nick: No. I mean, I’m — I’m not sure —

Phyllis: You’re not sure? What? We’re solid.

Nick: I know, I know. I just think — that’s all.

Phyllis: Don’t think. Stop thinkinG.

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Stop thinking. I know how to get you to stop thinking. I know how to make you sure that our relationship is solid, okay?

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Half a million in cash. Well, you’re gonna like this even less. I need it in an hour from now in hanD. Yes, it’s excessive. I freely admit it. I — I need the funds for an impulse purchase — something rare and exquisite that I want to buy for my beautiful bride. Look — well, the seller is — is old-fashioned and very stubborn, and he insists on us currency. Listen, douglas, you know, as i get older and I care less and less about the irs and jumping through those god-awful hoops. Yeah. Look, who– whoever said “you can’t take it with you” knew what they were talking about. Now, I know that you — listen to me — I know that you have a way to come up with those funds, to find that cash. That’s why I keep you around, okay? You’re a very clever fellow. Text me when it’s ready, won’t you? Thank you.

Victoria: I guess I wasn’t supposed to hear that.

Itchy?

Ashland: Unfortunate timing.

Victoria: Apparently. That call of yours sounded quite mysterious. Delivering bundles of cash in the middle of the day — does anybody do that anymore?

Ashland: Well, I should’ve been more clandestine. I’d hate to think that I spoiled the surprise. Would you do me a big favor and pretend that you didn’t hear whatever it is that you heard?

Victoria: Mm, I’m not sure i can do that. I’m so curious now.

Ashland: Come on, just make the effort for me.

Victoria: For how long? Is this another wedding present? Are you telling me that I’m gonna have to wait till we get to italy to find out?

Ashland: You are made of tough stuff, and I know you can stand the suspense. And I also know that you’re expecting your mother to arrive shortly, so I will make myself scarce and give you a chance to talk.

Victoria: I appreciate that.

Ashland: And I also know that it’s been a while since i revealed I had changed my name when I was younger, and I would think that — and hope — nikki had time to adjust to that idea. But I also understand that she probably has her concerns, as any loving mother would.

Victoria: Well, I wouldn’t know. We haven’t discussed it. In the end, it doesn’t matter because I make my own decisions.

Ashland: I just love your independent side. I also know how important it is for you to have your mother’s support and planning this wedding together with her. It means it’s important to me, too.

Victoria: Listen to me. I’m aware that the reason that you came forward with the truth is because you’re protecting my relationship with my family, and that meant a lot to me, but how my parents react, that’s up to them.

Ashland: Unfortunately, that’s true, and that’s rather wise for you to recognize.

Victoria: Well, I learned a long time ago you can’t control what people think or do or feel.

Ashland: You know, most people go through their entire life and never figure that out. You are way ahead of the game.

Victoria: Well, I have my moments.

Ashland: Indeed you do. Now, no more philosophizing for the morning. Can you join me for lunch later? Assuming that you are free.

Victoria: Well, that depends on if you’re gonna tell me what you’re up to or not.

Ashland: Not a chance.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Good morning again.

Nick: You took off without saying goodbye.

Phyllis: Uh, yeah. I got a call that some controller thing in the freezer wasn’t working, and so I had to call the appliance company and we’re on their schedule.

Nick: Nice going.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay, so you have my undivided attention.

Nick: I’m just glad that, you know, we’re okay.

Phyllis: Yeah. We are okay. We’re better than okay.

Nick: Put the whole jack thing aside.

Phyllis: Yeah, I think we proved that last night. Um, by the way, you really outdid yourself, and that’s saying a lot.

Nick: You’re welcome.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Um, I just, you know, wanted to say one last thing about jack. That’s all. Just one last thing. I just — my heart aches for him, that’s all. I know he is lonely and alone, but I think that he will find the perfect match for him, like we’ve done. Don’t you think — don’t you think so?

Nick: Yes, of course.

Lily: He looks very ordinary. You made him sound like he was so sinister.

Billy: They were definitely confronting each other. It was intense. They were leaning in, trying not to make a scene. Now he’s just having coffee.

Lily: Well, maybe it was a business deal gone sour.

Billy: Lily, we’ve both been in negotiations with ashland locke. He was charming. Believe me, this was different.

Lily: Different how?

Billy: Ashland does not like that man. That much was clear.

Lily: Okay, well, you are very good at reading people.

Billy: I didn’t need a special skill for this. They’re adversaries of some kind, which means our new friend over there might be very useful for us.

Lily: Our new friend? You don’t even know his name.

Billy: We need to find out who he is.

Lily: I’m on it. Hi. Could I get a menu? We wanted to order some food to go. Thank you. Thanks so much. His name is jesse gaines — g-a-I-n-e-S. (Upbeat pop music throughout)

your doctor gives you a

prescription. Let’s get you on some antibiotics right away.

Lily: You know what? Something came up, actually, so we’re not gonna order anything. I’m sorry. Thank you.

Billy: Jesse gaines. Wouldn’t have imagined it would be such a common name. There’s a whole slew of them.

Lily: Really?

Billy: Yeah. Some of these are obituaries. We can cross those off the list. This one is not the right age. Wait a second. This could be our guy. Jesse gaines jr., From toms river, new jersey.

Lily: Wait, toms river, new jersey. Wait, that’s where the two stations that locke acquired when he first started are located.

Billy: Exactly. Our guy seems younger than ashland.

Lily: Maybe he works at one of the stations, and locke still owns them?

Billy: Could be.

Phyllis: Um, yeah, you know, we need to put this jack thing to bed. I just want to ask one more question.

Nick: Alright, shoot.

Phyllis: I just… you know, jack told me that he didn’t want you to know about his feelings, and I understand why he would want to tell you because he wouldn’t want a dirty little secret between us, but what I don’t get is, you know, why didn’t he just come to me and say, “hey, you can tell nick” or give me a heads up that he was going to you. You know, instead he just bared his soul to you without letting me know at all.

Nick: Maybe jack felt like he owed it to me, you know? He’d kept it hidden, every time our relationship would come up, and also, he had a vested interest in the outcome.

Phyllis: Our relationship has come up when you’ve been talking to jack? Oh. Well, I’m sure when you said that we’re doing really well and we’re so happy, that didn’t go over well with him.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I think jack just felt more comfortable with everything out in the open.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. I don’t think we should talk about this anymore. I’m ready to put this to bed for good.

Nick: Same.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah, cool. Besides, I think I have other ideas on how I’d like to spend the morning.

Phyllis: Do you?

Nick: Yeah. If you’re not too busy, could you meet me at the park?

Phyllis: Oh. Really? A picnic?

Nick: You’ll see when you get there. Just, you know, some comfortable clothes and definitely shoes.

Phyllis: Okay. Yes, sir.

Nick: I’ll see you there. I’m gonna go get some things set up.

Ashland: I have been waiting for this. What a perfect time for it to arrive.

Victoria: What is it?

Ashland: Well, consider it a combination congratulatory merger gift and an early wedding present.

Victoria: That is so sweet of you, but you shouldn’t have gotten me anything.

Ashland: Oh, you need this.

Victoria: Okay, well, now I’m very curious.

Ashland: Well, see for yourself. I know that your father’s portrait hovered over the ceo’s office for many years. I thought it was time that it was replaced. This painting should take its rightful spot in your office to exemplify the changing of the guard.

Victoria: I love it. It’s just beautiful. I — I don’t know what to say.

[ Sighs ] I-is this a londeree? A meryl londeree?

Ashland: Indeed it is.

Victoria: How did you get her to do it?

Ashland: It wasn’t easy to convince her, but you deserve it. There is nothing I won’t do to prove my love for you.

Victoria: You already have, again and again.

Nikki: Now, before we start talking about the wedding, i wanted to — oh, my goodness.

Victoria: It’s stunning, isn’t it? I was blown away when ashland presented it to me.

Nikki: Oh. It’s beautiful. He has exquisite taste.

Victoria: Oh, he is so thoughtful.

Nikki: Yes, indeed. I wonder what your father’s going to think of it. I mean, it makes quite a statement.

Victoria: As it should. Newman is mine now. Most bladder leak pads were similar.

Phyllis: Hey. Um, you said comfortable clothes. Are we working out?

Nick: We’re having football practice. Well, practice for the practice.

Phyllis: Uh, really?

Nick: Yeah. I signed up to coach christian’s flag football team, and I think you should be my assistant.

Phyllis: Uh, you’re serious?

Nick: Totally serious. Christian’s so excited he’s finally old enough to play football, and I love this sport, and I think you should do it with me. We both really want you to be involved.

Phyllis: Christian said that?

Nick: Of course. Don’t be surprised. He adores you almost as much as I do.

Phyllis: Oh. Well, that’s sweet. I mean, the feeling is mutual, but, you know, I was gonna come to the games and cheer you guys on.

Nick: Yeah, I know, but this takes it to the next level.

Phyllis: Wow. This is a commitment. Yeah. Oh. You know I know nothing about football.

Nick: It’s okay. I know everything. It’s just skills and drills and, you know, conditioning, and I’m gonna put you through the whole thing and you’ll see that it’s great. And I just need to know that you’re willing to try, and you’ll see how easy it is.

Phyllis: Okay, I’ll try. I mean, hey, it’s a nice day. We’ll get some exercise, right?

Nick: You got it. Let’s go! Alright!

Phyllis: Oh.

Nick: We’re gonna work on that part. You just — you want to —

Phyllis: Yeah. That’s — great.

Nikki: So, for whatever reason, the inspectors are dragging their feet and we can’t retool the factory until we get the sign-off.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Which means more delays. Damn it, I was hoping we could have this done before we went to italy.

Nikki: Honey, it’s all being handled. Don’t worry another moment about it. Now, let’s move to wedding talk.

Victoria: We should be in the home stretch as far as planning, right?

Nikki: The new landscaping has been installed at the palazzo. Do you like it?

Victoria: It’s gorgeous. I love it. Oh, my gosh, it’s outstanding. They really outdid themselves.

Nikki: Yeah, victor and i were very pleased.

Victoria: Me, too. And it’s even so late in the season.

[ Sighs ] It’s really happening, isn’t it? My wedding. Exactly the way I envisioned it.

Nikki: Did you have some reason to doubt that it would? Or should?

Gaines: Jesse gaines, suite 405. Would you see if I have any messages?

Billy: Jesse gaines — that is a blast from the past.

Gaines: Excuse me?

Billy: Oh, I apologize. I used to know someone named jesse gaines. Actually, my father did. I think they worked together. Maybe he was a lawyer back in jersey.

Gaines: Well, that may have been my father.

Billy: No way! Get out of here.

Gaines: I’m jesse gaines jr. I took over the practice when he died.

Billy: Oh, I’m sorry to hear about your loss. We have that in common, actually. I took over my father’s business for a while, as well. I’m billy abbott. John abbott was my father. He was the founder of jabot cosmetics. I don’t know if you’ve heard of us.

Gaines: Sure. Who hasn’t?

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Gaines: Well, I wonder what would’ve led our parents to do business together.

Billy: Yeah, that’s funny to think about. I don’t know. What do you think?

Gaines: My father wasn’t in the cosmetics industry, so…

Billy: Hmm. Well, new jersey, manufacturing of fragrances back in the day. Could’ve been that.

Gaines: Yeah, that’s all north and west of where we were from. Different part of the state altogether.

Billy: What about advertising? Newspapers, magazines, maybe tv stations by chance?

Gaines: As a matter of fact, he did. Couple of news stations.

Billy: Oh, wow. There you go. Very cool.

Gaines: You know, it is amazing that you would remember my father’s name after so many years. You must have been very young. He stopped working a long time ago.

Billy: Well, it’s a steel trap. Information gets in, doesn’t get out. It’s kind of a cruse. So what brings you into town?

Gaines: Personal matter.

Lily: Ashland, hey. So good to see you.

Billy: Oh. That’s why you’re here, to meet with ashland locke. What’s the #1 retinol brand

“The young and the restless”

will continue. (Upbeat pop music throughout)

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] I have no doubts about this wedding. None, as in zero. I think you may be the one projecting.

Nikki: No, darling. It was just a little unsettling to learn about the monumental secret that ashland was keeping. And not so much the secret itself. As you pointed out, both victor and I are survivors of our fathers’ cruelty, so I can certainly relate to that.

Victoria: Ashland deserves more than that from us. His childhood was hell. When I think about his resilience and the resourcefulness that it took for him to overcome that, it makes me respect him all the more.

Nikki: It doesn’t bother you that it was so easy for him to lie to you?

Victoria: He already explained all of that. He has been telling this invented version of his early life for so long that it’s just — it started to feel real to him. It’s a coping mechanism, and I’m not gonna judge him for that. In fact, I’m glad that he told me the truth because now ashland knows that he can tell me anything. And you know what? It really bugs me that he had to confess to everyone. That should’ve been his decision, freely made.

Nikki: Do you think he ever would have told you on his own?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Well, I guess we’re never gonna know now since billy backed him into a corner.

Lily: So, how are the wedding plans going?

Ashland: Just fine, thank you.

Gaines: As I said, I’m here for personal reasons.

Billy: You got family in town?

Gaines: None that I know of.

Ashland: Would you please excuse me?

Lily: Yeah, sure.

Billy: Well, if you haven’t been to genoa city, welcome. It’s beautiful this time of year.

Ashland: I see you’ve met one of my lawyers.

Billy: Lawyer? That’s very interesting.

Ashland: I have many, of course. In town to handle some of the merger issues with locke communications group subdivisions.

Billy: Well, I’m sure you’ll be very happy to hear that jesse here takes the lawyer-client confidentiality very serious. He didn’t say a thing. In fact, we were talking about jesse gaines senior. Did some legal work for some news stations in jersey. Assuming the same stations that you own. Of course, this was a while ago, before camilla rhodes passed away. Thinking about it now, maybe the two of you worked together with her. Is that true? Do you — do you know jesse’s father?

Ashland: Jesse’s father was a good man, and we all miss him very much. Why don’t you and I go find someplace quieter where we can get some work accomplished?

Gaines: You got it.

Billy: Definitely something going on there.

Nick: Coming at you!

Phyllis: Oh! Oh. Okay.

Nick: That’s alright.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: You’ve gotten so much better.

Phyllis: Alright.

Nick: I mean, you are really getting the hang of it and you’re a natural.

Phyllis: Yeah, a thirsty natural.

Nick: I got you covered. Come on, let’s go.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: Got you right here.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re prepared with water.

Nick: Yep.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: This is gonna be great. Kids at this age, they’re like little sponges. They just take everything in and soak it all up.

Phyllis: Uh-huh.

Nick: And you should love this. Lot of parents that you know already involved.

Phyllis: Oh.

Nick: Um, the nelsons, julia sweetwater.

Phyllis: Oh. I know her.

Nick: Yeah, okay. Who’s the guy — the dad, he — he’s always saying the lame dad jokes and you think he’s hysterical?

Phyllis: You?

Nick: I walked right into that, didn’t I?

Phyllis: Uh-huh, yeah.

Nick: Yeah. No, mark mason.

Phyllis: Oh, mark.

Nick: “The mase.”

Phyllis: He signed up? Oh.

Nick: Yeah, yeah. You know what I was thinking, too? We could have, like, a — like, a pizza party, just get everyone involved, and the parents and the kids and get them all fired up. That kind of comradery is everything in youth sports.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. It’s also good for someone who wants a distraction from his sister’s upcoming marriage, right? We didn’t finish talking about that, but I’m assuming that you’re not going to pursue digging into ashland’s past. You just want to avoid upsetting your sister.

Nick: I mean, it’s more to it than that, you know? Um…you weren’t there when ashland was telling the story of his crappy childhood and his abusive dad and his mother who wouldn’t protect him, and, i mean, there was a lot of sadness in his voice.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: I’m sure it reminded you of your dad’s history with his dad.

Nick: Yeah, it reminded me of when we confronted his dad, albert miller. That was one of the most awful, terrible human beings I’ve ever met. He said just crazy things to my dad. I felt so bad for him. It’s one of the few times in my life I’ve seen my dad just fall apart and cry like that. I don’t know, if — if that was true and ashland’s childhood was like that, I can understand why he would do everything he could to get away from that, you know? Especially now. I mean, I don’t want to make him relive this story and retell it while he’s going through chemo.

Phyllis: On the other hand?

Nick: On the other hand, i did talk to rey about it and kind of got his take.

Phyllis: You did? I’m surprised you would talk to rey.

Nick: He’s my friend, you know? I trust him. I know he would be discreet.

Phyllis: Mm. Okay, well, what did he say?

Nick: He said if there was nothing more to the story than ashland just being a scared kid who wanted to get away from his parents, then we should’ve found out what his real name is by now.

Phyllis: Yeah. What was his reasoning for that?

Nick: Well, changing your name is a legal process. You know, it requires filing paperwork and putting an ad out in the newspaper, and, you know, the fact that we haven’t been able to find any record of that means that ashland probably didn’t use the regular channels to make that happen, and, you know, that may not be anything, but I can’t stop thinking about that and what that could mean. I brought in ensure max protein,

Nick: Say hut!

Phyllis: Oh. Oh!

Nick: Alright!

Phyllis: Yay!

Nick: You have mastered the skill in no time.

Phyllis: And the crowd went wild.

Nick: It’s all about fundamentals, and working on that in practice, you are going to be an amazing coach.

Phyllis: You got to know this is not gonna happen. You know, right? Wha– ohh, nick. I’m running the grand phoenix. I mean, we have events scheduled until after the holidays. I — I got to be there. I can’t do this. I mean, I’m gonna let those kids down. I mean, what kind of message does that send, you know? Besides, I got to stay in my lane. This is —

Nick: You have everything it takes to be a great coach. You are tough, you have perseverance. I mean, you’re competitive. Look at the way you play video games.

Phyllis: Well, that’s the thing. I mean, don’t you think I’m a little too competitive? I mean, I don’t want to get in a little boy’s face, you know, make him cry. That would be horrible. Really, really bad. I would red-carded and thrown out of the game and…

Nick: That’s soccer.

Phyllis: Okay, see? I don’t even know that. I don’t even know that.

[ Sighs ] I will come to every game, i promise you. Every single game, I will bring incredible snacks and great drinks, and I will cheer you on. I will cheer you on, but it’s just — I — it’S…

Nick: Yeah, you’re busy. I get it. It’s cool.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, no, it’s not like that. I mean… I’m sorry.

Nick: It’s just when kids are this young, you got to — you got to cherish every moment and, I don’t know, I was kind of thinking, too, it’d be like a cool family thing, you know?

Phyllis: Well, why don’t you do a father-son thing, and then we can figure some family thing to do just the three of us, something else. Yeah? Okay, but listen, [Sighs] If you need a super-sleuth to find out the real identity to a certain billionaire, I’m your girl.

Nick: Alright. Let’s just head back.

Phyllis: Oh.

Victoria: Billy really makes me so mad sometimes. Like he has the right to stick his nose into my private business whenever he wants.

Nikki: Alright, forget about him for a minute. I am more concerned that you are making decisions for the right reasons, not because of your sympathy for ashland and what he’s been through or your anger for billy and what he’s put you through. But either one of those emotions is perfectly valid.

Victoria: Well, if that’s why you think I’m getting married, well, it’s no wonder that you’re worried, mother. Because it’s not the case. I’m marrying ashland because i love him. He makes me happy. He understands me in a way that no one does. Who else would have thought of it? He didn’t say it when he gave it to me, but obviously ashland is thinking about what’s gonna happen if he doesn’t survive his cancer. He wanted to give me something that would be here every day to remind me of how he saw me. And he hasn’t stopped there.

Nikki: No?

Victoria: No, he’s planning another surprise, something very big and extravagant. I’m not supposed to know about it, but I heard him earlier on the phone when I walked in.

Nikki: You know, that reminds me of your father, especially when we first got together. I mean, he got such a kick out of dazzling me with his larger-than-life gestures. He loved more than anything to see the look on my face when he surprised me.

Victoria: I remember you telling the stories. I just — I hope that ashland has fun with it because I’d much rather him be focused on — on this than — than his illness or whatever crap billy keeps trying to dig uP.

Ashland: I spoke to my banker. Half a million dollars, that’s all I could get for you today in cash. I will make monthly payments of the same amount for the next five months, and you’ll get your $3 million, and then you and i are done.

Gaines: A man like you, a man of your resources doesn’t have access to his funds. You expect me to believe that?

Ashland: It’s not about access. I don’t want to call undue attention to our arrangement. That’s the point of blackmail, to keep it quiet.

Gaines: What if you die next week?

Ashland: The outpouring of your concern is overwhelming. But don’t fret. I’m gonna live long enough to make you a wealthy man.

Gaines: You know, I would think that you would move heaven and earth if it meant you could be done with me once and for all. It’s obvious that billy abbott is suspicious. He wrote that exposé on adam newman, and I’m sure he’d love to give you the same treatment. If he found out exactly how you managed to buy camilla’s stations and that you’ve been paying me off all these years to keep it a secret, that’d make a pretty juicy story, wouldn’t it? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Nikki: Darling, I hope you know I will be there for you no matter what you choose to do.

Victoria: Is that your subtle way of saying that you think I’m making a mistake going through with this wedding?

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I don’t think this is a situation where there are right or wrong answers. I think you just need to trust your instincts and trust your strength to get through whatever happens.

Victoria: Do you know what i can trust, too? Ashland’s love for me. I know I may not know the name that he was born with, but that doesn’t matter to me. I know what’s in his heart.

Ashland: You’re right about one thing. I can’t wait to end all contact with you.

Gaines: It’s agreed, then. I’ll take my down payment today, but I want the other $2.5 million within three days, or I go to ol’ billy and I sell the story to chanccomm.

Phyllis: Ah, this is amazing. You’re a natural. You have the fundamentals, for sure. Oh.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: What happened? What happened?

Nick: Oh, I needed a break.

Phyllis: A break?

[ Laughs ] What? Are you mad at me? Are you made because I don’t want to be an assistant coach?

Nick: No, it’s fine.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: It’s fine.

Phyllis: Well, what’s going on? ‘Cause your head is not in the game, champ.

Nick: Did you mean what you said earlier when you said you would help me find out who ashland locke really is?

Phyllis: Yeah. Definitely. Do you want me to go ahead with looking into his past? I mean, you want me to take a whack at this? I’d be happy to.

Nick: Why? Why would you want to help me?

Phyllis: Well, because you’re yoU. And this matters to you. And you’re not gonna let it go until you get some answers.

Nick: Well, I’d be taking a pretty big risk, you know, of royally ticking off my sister, but I think it’s worth it. I cannot shake this feeling that ashland is hiding more than just his name, you know? Probably a lot more.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. Listen, if you’re wrong, if you’re wrong, victoria never has to know. Okay? And everything will be fine. It’ll put your mind at ease.

Nick: Well, if we do find something, you know, something major, I want to make sure victoria knows. Then she can do whatever she wants with that information.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. I agree. I mean, it’s not like billy. I mean, you don’t have a grudge or a vendetta. You know, you just want to protect your sister. You just care about your family. And I’m happy to help.

Nick: Mm. Alright. Let’s do it. Let’s find out who ashland locke was and how he became ashland locke.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Clears throat ] Impressive. But not what I would expect from a newlywed. Hey, trina, you made it.

[ Laughs ] I refuse to believe this is the last time I’m gonna see you. Well, because it’s not. I’ll be back. And until then, we will stay in touch, okay? I don’t want to stay in touch. I want you to stay in town. I’d like that, too. But with the stalker still out there, it’s just not possible. Yeah. Somebody needs to catch that creep. Happy moving day. -Hey. -Hey. Nikolas: I thought you’d have more luggage. The staff is bringing the rest of our things up from the launch, but esme wanted this bag with her. Esme: It’s got all my essentials — everything I can’t trust to bellboys and baggage handlers. We’re so grateful you’ve invited us to move in. Oh, not that you and laura weren’t wonderful hosts. It’s just there’s more room here at wyndemere for us to spread out and still stay together. I’m hoping that we can, um, co-exist without getting on each other’s nerves. We’ve been apart too long, spencer. You don’t know what it means to me to have you back. I’m still not sure that this is going to work, but I want it to. I missed you, father. I had the bureau try to trace peter’s last call. And? Well, it’s not in service. So his accomplice is covering his tracks. We’ve got nothing on him since he jumped from the overlook. No sightings, no leads. And the state police, they want to take down all the roadblocks because they believe he drowned. Yeah, we’re not gonna be that lucky. Peter’s got 10 hours’ head start on us. He could be anywhere, could be holed up somewhere, could be out of the country by now. Maybe we should talk to nina again. You know, I’m just thinking maybe nina has remembered something. Hi. Hey. Nina’s not here. She, uh, checked herself out against medical advice. What? Well, how long ago did she leave? Long enough to make it back to port charles.

[ Knock on door ] Who is it? Maxie, it’s nina. Oh, my god, nina! Thank god! I’ve been so worried about you. Oh, it’s — it’s — it’s okay. I’m fine, as you can see.

Super fine. Okay. Um, no offense, but you don’t look super fine. You actually look kind of shaky, not that I could blame you. Seeing peter would traumatize anyone. Oh, maxie. Peter’s the least of it. Can I have some? Yeah. Coming right up.

[ Hums ] So good, yeah. There you go. Is it that bad?

[ Chuckles ] It’s perfect.

this is the last place I expected to see you this morning. Shouldn’t you be with your wife? Ah, never mind. Uh, sorry to bother you. You’re not — you’re not bothering me. Um, I bet mrs. Morgan would feel different about that. Well, there is no, uh, mrs. Morgan. Carly and i didn’t get married. What are you talking about? I mean, we went through with the ceremony, but… it’s not valid. Sonny’s alive. Barcelona is a mecca for collectors these days, and there’s been a lot of interest in some of the gallery’s paintings. Are you sure you’re gonna be happy networking in barcelona? Just trying to make the best out of a bad situation. It’s so unfair, you having to walk away from everything you love because someone thinks they’re entitled to play games with your life. Yeah, I hate it, too. I certainly hope that lunatic is happy. Oh, I’m sure they’re loving thinking that they won. I heard about your favorite bakery, esme. I had a selection of their pastries sent over this morning. How thoughtful. Thank you. Um, I’d love a dry latte, a croissant, and some mixed fruit. I’m partial to blackberries. I will tell the staff we’re ready to start.

[ Groans softly ] Nikolas, are you feeling all right? Yeah, I’m just a little sore. Because of what ava’s thugs did to you? Nikolas: Why don’t you come with me to the kitchen? You can tell them how esme likes her latte. Thank you so much for helping us move in, dr. Collins. I’m sorry. You said to call you kevin.

[ Chuckles ] Whatever makes you comfortable. You’ve been so good to spence and me. Well, spencer is my step-grandson. I like to take that seriously. You know, it — it warms my heart how a busy doctor like yourself still makes time for family. And I love that you’re a psychiatrist. It’s a fascinating profession. I was thinking of taking pre-med classes with an emphasis in psychology. Hmm. Well, I found that people that are interested in the cognitive sciences are usually looking for answers about themselves and the people who shaped them growing up. That makes sense, you know… given your own upbringing. Has your profession helped you find the answers you were looking for? It’s helped me see people and situations more clearly. Yes.

[ Chuckles ] Like I said… fascinating. Sonny has been in nixon falls since last december with no idea who he is? Not until last night. So the entire time nina has been in nixon falls, she’s been hiding the truth from sonny? And his family. Well, she had to have had a reason. Have to have been a damn good one to keep a man from his own life like that with his family grieving. No, she had to have had a reason. A lie like that takes on a life of its own. I’ve been there. I’m in no place to judge. Okay, I-I have to call robin. I’m sorry. She was a good friend with sonny. Excuse me. You were right. She wasn’t acting out of malice. She made a bad decision, and it spiraled from there. It’s not the only bad decision she’s made if she’s gone back to port charles. She’s not gonna get a warm welcome. It is such a mess, and it’s all of my own making. Okay, let me stop you right there. Peter is the one who did this, nina, not you, not me, but peter, because he is a lying psychopath, and he — he got away again. What? Are you sure? Yeah. Uh, anna caught him somewhere near nixon falls on some overlook. Oh, yeah, I know the place. Peter jumped before anna could take him into custody. I mean, they had search teams looking for him all night, but he was gone. He just vanished. And if it was anyone else, I would say they drowned. But peter’s alive. I can feel it. And my only consolation is knowing that louise is safe and peter has no idea where she is. Oh, geez. None of this should have happened. The police could have had peter in custody. Yeah, well, they don’T. And it’s all my fault, maxie. Peter confronted me the day that you showed up in nixon falls. Ah, you make the best coffee. It’s just coffee. No. The whole time you were gone, my coffee never tasted like this. It’s the first time in nine months my coffee tastes right.

[ Laughs ] You’re welcome. Are you okay? Yeah. Yeah. I’m glad, you know? Glad to be home, and even though I slept in the guest room, when I woke up in the morning, I knew where I was. I knew who I was, and… that feels really good. You didn’t have to sleep in the guest room. Well, you know, what happened was I — I kind of walked in there, and then you were sleeping. I didn’t want to wake you. I had your stuff brought down from the attic — you know, your suits and your shoes and your accessories. I’m surprised you didn’t donate most of them.

[ Scoffs ] No, I couldn’t stand the thought of somebody else with your things. What if I saw somebody walking down the street wearing one of your suits? I… I couldn’t take that.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I’m glad you — you kept them, ’cause they’re just clothes. You can buy more. You know, I mean, I’M… makes me feel good that you held on to them. It was my way of holding on to you.

Sonny’s alive. Yeah, he came home last night. On your wedding night. How inconvenient.

[ Chuckles ] It’s the best thing that could have happened. So… carly’s still his wife? Yep. And you are… not married. What about sonny? What did he say when he found out you and carly got married? Well, he said, uh, you know, we made the right decisions under the circumstances. But… you know, he’s back. Circumstances have changed. So what did peter do? Threaten you? Blackmail you? I mean, it had to be something, otherwise you would have called 911 the second you saw him. He threatened to kidnap james. Oh, my god. Yes, he said that if he never found louise, that james would be the next best thing. He really liked the idea of raising j’s son. I will kill him first. Do you hear me? With my bare hands. He will not get my son. No, I get you. I feel the exact same way. Maxie, I played him. I pretended to go along with him, that I felt threatened by him. I mean, i was scared, but I pretended to agree to do what he wanted me to do. Which was? Well, work valentin to get the information about the search for louise. Okay, so he really doesn’t have any idea where louise is. No, he doesn’T. Finally, some good news. And the first chance I got, guess who I called? Aunt liesl. And she said that she would take care of it, which I admit is exactly what I wanted to hear. Okay, um, did liesl give you any specifics on how she would take care of it? She said to tell peter that the baby was spotted on st. Lucia, that anna and valentin were on the way there, and if he needed to get there before them, he should leave immediately. So he bought the story. He left nixon falls. And I thought everything was gonna be okay. I hoped and prayed, but then something went wrong. Okay, um… liesl was going to st. Lucia with scott baldwin. He — he chartered a private plane, but it was a setup. Scott was knocked out and dumped out of the plane in a parachute. What about aunt liesl? There’s no sign of her. She’s disappeared. You know, I could stay here and deal with the investigation if you need to get back to port charles. No, charlotte and bailey are fine. I checked in with yuri this morning. I was thinking, if you wanted to be there for nina. Trina. Where’s joss? You haven’t talked to her yet? When I texted you guys, I assumed she’d be with you. Well, joss is at home with her family. Oh. Her stepfather came back last night. What? Yeah. I mean, do you remember the text that she got to meet michael and go back to her mom’s? Yeah. Sonny was there. Did she say where sonny’s been since last december? She said that it was complicated and that she would fill us in as soon as she got the chance. But that might take a while, right? I mean, we’re talking a major corinthos family reunion. Yeah, probably. Is that a problem? No, no. I’m thrilled for joss, and I know that family comes first. It’s just that I really needed her help. Well, is there anything I can do? I’m glad you asked. I know who’s been stalking ava, and we need to expose them before ava leaves port charles for good. Now, that’s more like it.

[ Laughs ] Feels good to be back in my clothes again.

[ Sighs ] You wear a suit well, literally. Yeah? Most guys wear a suit and they look stuffy and uncomfortable, but… you look like that suit was meant for you. Most of them were. You look strong. And confident and… sexy as hell. I mean, I-I could pretend that I’m modest, but I won’T.

[ Laughs ] So…

[ Chuckles ] Ah, you know… arrogant. You’re very arrogant. Yeah, well,

you love it. I do. -[ Chuckles ] -I do. Hey, carly, the guard told me that I could — ah! Sonny. Hello, ava.

‘s sonny beenall this time? Pennsylvania. Is — [ Chuckles ] Is that mob-speak? Excuse me? Is that, like, code for hiding out or something, or was he physically in pennsylvania? Oh, he was physically in — in pennsylvania. Why? Well, when the bridge collapsed, the — the current carried him to some river bank, and a — a hiker found him, helped him, and sonny didn’t know who he was. Oh, he lost his memory. Yeah. He spent the last nine months in a small town working as a bartender. So, what, he just woke up one day and remembered he was sonny corinthos, godfather of port charles? I mean, I think it was a little more complicated than that, but… yeah, I mean, the end result’sstill the same. Sonny’s back. That has to be a major adjustment for you and carly. I mean, we’re okay. Really? I thought that you were in love. And how do you just stop those feelings? Okay, let’s take a step back here. Who is it you think is the stalker? Esme and spencer have been working together. They’re ava’s stalker. That was delicious. Fruit not to your liking? I was really hoping for blackberries. Nikolas: I already told the staff. They’ll be here tomorrow. Thank you, and maybe just a little less foam on the latte. I’ll pass on the message. Spencer: Why don’t I show you to your room? Yes, please. I can’t wait to see it. If the room’s not to your liking, you feel free to choose another one, or we can redecorate. I may have to take you up on that. Are you sure you’re ready to play host to spencer and his new girlfriend? I am so thrilled to have spencer back that I would put up with anyone, but esme seems nice enough. What do you think? I think she requires a lot of attention, she’s high-maintenance, and is single-minded about getting her way. That could be a source of conflict, but spencer doesn’t seem to mind.

[ Chuckles ] You know, spencer — he’s young, he’s in love, and it’s good to see him with someone who returns his feelings. What about your own situation? Nothing’s changed. Ava’s leaving. There’s nothing I can do to stop her. It makes

total senseyou would go to liesl for help. I would have done the same thing. I-I’m only sorry that it didn’t work. I mean, peter must have known what was going on. Do you think he tapped your phone? No, no, he didn’T. He said something about someone else warned him about the trap. Do you think that’s the person who kidnapped liesl? I don’t know. I have no idea. You know aunt liesl has this very checkered past. She has a lot of enemies. I don’t even know if her disappearance has anything to do with peter. Well, he definitely could be working with someone. That would explain how he keeps getting away. No, he keeps getting away because I didn’t stop him when I had the chance. It’s because you expected liesl to do a better job. That’s one reason. Yes, I wanted to stop peter, but I also… wanted to have my cake and eat it, too. You’ve lost me. You remember mike? Yeah, your guy from nixon falls. I’m dying to meet him. You already have. Mike is sonny corinthos. I’m so glad that avery has you back ’cause I… am leaving the country. For how long? Indefinitely. So things didn’t work out with you and, uh, nikolas? It’s not that. I’ve gotten myself a stalker. And things have been getting progressively more dangerous. Chamberlain? Ryan’s doctors say that is not possible. Supposedly ryan has something called locked-in syndrome. He’s institutionalized. He can’t even move. It’s more likely a ryan copycat. Whoever it is, they got into wyndemere, and so nikolas and avery and i went to the metro court. And somehow the stalker got into avery’s room there. This freak… got to my daughter? Yeah. And the stalker put a — a teddy bear in her room there, and ryan chamberlain’s voice came out of it. Son of a bitch!

You know, sonny, carly,and I have been friends a lot longer than carly and i were engaged to be married. Decades longer. So you just hit a reset button? Ignore the fact that you and carly were planning a life together? I mean, we made those plans because we thought sonny was dead. And, uh, he’s not, so our lives go back to the way they were before.

[ Sighs ] And… you’re okay with that? I mean, I know you’re happy sonny’s alive, and of course, you wouldn’t change how things turned out, but carly gets her husband back. Meanwhile, you lose everything you were counting on. Well, maybe I deserve to. Because of what you did to me? I might possibly feel a teeny-tiny bit vindicated because you chose carly over me, and she turned around and chose sonny over you. But that doesn’t mean I… enjoy seeing you hurt. I appreciate that. Well, I don’t mean to pile on more bad news, but you should know… should know what? That peter is definitely alive. You found sonny in nixon falls. He had lost his memory, was working as a bartender, and calling himself mike. Mm. Instead of telling him who he really was or letting his family know he was alive and well and where he was, you didn’t say anything. I know, I know. And I admit at first I did it to get back at carly. Nina. I know. It was selfish. You don’t have to tell me that. And spiteful. And, boy, did it come back to bite me, because before I knew it, I… I was falling for mike. There is no mike. It’s sonny. No, there is a mike. To me, there is a mike, and mike is a wonderful, sweet, loyal man who really, for once, cared about me, and I cared about him. How much? I love him. Yikes. And that was one of the reasons, stupidly so, I did not call 911 when peter showed up in nixon falls, because if peter got arrested, then the whole world would know about mike. So it was just better off for me to call aunt liesl and have her get rid of peter. It’s just, I just didn’t want anyone to know. No offense, but your plan was never gonna work. Well, I can see that now, sweet sister, now that it’s too late. Okay. You’ve made some questionable choices, some disastrous choices, but I can see you’re hurting and I’m really sorry. I love him. Not sonny. Not him. I barely know sonny. I…I love mike. And I certainly didn’t treat him like someone I love. I lied for months to him. I kept him from his family. I hurt so many people. I just — I have to figure out a way to make it right. That’s really admirable. And also impossible. I can’t fix this for nina. And I’ve learned my lesson. She’s the captain of her ship. She has to find out for herself what the truth is. What if she reaches out, though? She’s not going to. The way I’m gonna help nina is the way I’m gonna help everybody. I’m going to find peter, and I’m gonna put a bullet through his heart. Are we past the point where I try to talk you out of contemplating murder now? It’s not murder, is it? It’s protecting the lives of the innocent, like maxie and louise, and the not-so-innocent, like you and me. Okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Before we have to decide whether or not we’re gonna kill peter, we’ve gotta find him. Is it possible that you’re being less than objective? No, esme and spencer have been working together to break up ava and mr. Cassadine. Based on what? Spencer was in port charles at least as early as the night of my graduation party. He told me his name was victor, and when that turned out to be a lie, he convinced me to cover for him. Right, but wasn’t he trying to reconcile with his father? How is lurking around port charles in secret reconciling with your father? I-I don’t know. I mean, his relationship with his dad’s pretty messed up. No, spencer is the stalker, and mr. Cassadine found out. That’s why he set spencer up. Well, I-I was there for that, yeah, but when ava’s car got torched, spencer was at wyndemere. But esme wasn’t, which gave her plenty of time to light ava’s car on fire and get a boat back to spoon island. Didn’t mr. Cassadine cancel all the launches? Maybe she was late because she couldn’t get a lift. Can’t you just trust me? I know I’m right. I just need to find proof. I understand. But if you’re wrong, things could get pretty messy. I’ll take that risk. Ava is leaving her daughter, divorcing her husband, selling this place. Ava’s giving up everything she loves because spencer is a spoiled brat. Actually, that does kind of sound like spencer. Oh, I-I didn’t realize the divorce was finalized. The six weeks are up. Any day now, ava will get the paperwork back, she’ll file it, and then she will leave the country for god knows how long. You want to know her parting gift? Restraining order.

[ Groans ] Complete with two mma fighters to enforce it. Seems like ava doesn’t trust herself to stay away from you any more than she trusts you to stay away from her. I wanted us to fight the stalker together, but ava refused. Ava’s terrified for her child. What if it were spencer? Would you risk him to stay with ava? The stalker’s gotten past security at wyndemere, the metro court, and ava’s gallery. They’re really great at covering their tracks. I realized the only way that I can keep avery safe is to give the stalker exactly what they want. Which is? -Well, I’m divorcing nikolas. -Right. As soon as I drop the papers off at the courthouse, that’s done. Still doesn’t explain to me why you’re leaving the country. Well, if it were just me, I’d stay. But I cannot have avery become collateral damage. I’ve gotta keep her safe. The only way I can do that is — is to put an ocean between me and port charles. All right. Uh, whatever our differences, I respect that you’re doing right by my daughter,

our daughter. Thank you. Then I’d like to ask you for your help, if that’s okay. And carly’s, too. Whatever you need. I have go upstairs and say goodbye to avery, and I think it would be helpful to her if you two were there. Then, you know, that’s where we’ll be.

Has peter tried to contact you? No. Maxie found out, and she very thoughtfully sent dr. Gatlin-holt to the hospital last night to give me a heads-up.

[ Sighs ] Scott had this idea that peter was involved in my mother’s disappearance. Wait, wait a minute. Your — your mom disappeared? Yeah. I — I guess nobody’s told you.

[ Exhales ] Scott chartered a private jet to take my mother and him to st. Lucia, and they hit turbulence, and they both blacked out. Someone put a parachute on scott and dropped him over a campground. And there’s been no sign of my mother, and there’s no way to track the jet because it was a fake company. So the whole thing was a setup. I’m sorry. I mean, do you want me to have brick or spinelli look into it? No. No, thanks. Uh… you’ve got plenty going on in your new life. Besides, I don’t need you to rescue my mother, or me. Oh. Nikolas: I just want to keep my family safe and have ava here with me. I keep asking myself, who hates us this much? Well, I’m not sure hatred

is the motivation. The goal seems to be separating you and ava. That could be for any number of reasons. All that matters is I’m losing her. The only thing that makes this bearable is having spencer here and knowing that he’s forgiven me. Spence. What’s wrong? I need to find a way to try to make it up to sonny. Don’t you think I owe him that? I think what sonny needs right now is time with his wife and his family. Well, I-I don’t want to just run away from what I did. Okay, after the dust settles, if you want to go to carly and sonny to make it right, proceed at your own risk. I don’t think it’s gonna turn out the way you want, though. What you owe sonny right now is a little distance so he can reclaim his life. You’re very wise. Yeah, you make a lot of mistakes, you learn a few things.

[ Both chuckle ] Thank you for not judging me. I’m definitely judging you.

[ Laughs ] But I love you, and I’m always here for you. We’re family, right?

[ Chuckles ] It’s okay. All right. I love you. I love you. I’m at my apartment. I need you to come here right now. That was even harder than I thought it would be. You did good. Avery’s gonna miss you, but you made it okay for her. I’m just grateful that she has you. Both of you. I should go. Oh, um… will you send me lots of pictures? Not just the holiday stuff, but the — the everyday stuff? I will. Good luck. Thanks. What’s on your mind? I-I’m never gonna be best friends with ava, but I understand how she feels. I know what it’s like to turn your back on what you want and what you love and do what you feel you have to do. I did it… the whole time you were gone.

[ Sighs ] I wanted to curl up in a ball and… cry, all day. Scream and yell and throw things. The last thing I wanted to do was think about the business and the five families and cyrus renault. But I had to, so I did. I… oh, god! Yeah, but listen, you handled — you handled the meeting with the five families. You did really good.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I mean, at the time, I was great, but when they left, I was just shaking. Okay, but you know what? I’m back. And I promise, nothing’s gonna make me leave my family again. I know you believe that. And I want to believe it, too. But we both know there’s no guarantee you can keep that promise.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: What the hell are you doing here?

Ej: You have something of mine. And I want it back.

Xander: You said you were gonna tell jack the truth.

Gwen: I know, I was. I was. I was gonna say all of it, but then, xander, I imagined what his reaion would be if I told him, and I completely lost my nerve. So I had to think fast, and I used your idea. He was completely understanding.

Xander: I told you it was a good story.

Gwen: I wouldn’t go as far as to say that, but at least I’m still on good terms with him.

Xander: And you told him that you–I was just covering for you when I said all that about him working with snyder, so I’m back on good terms with him too. So now we both know where we stand with jack. Question is, where do we stand with each other?

Gwen: What do you mean? We’re friends, right?

Xander: I guess. Is that all we are?

Victor: So we have a deal? Don’t just stand there. We agreed you were going to try to take chloe away from philip.

Chloe: Well, you know, I’d like the answer to that question myself.

Brady: Look chloe, it’s not what it sounded like.

Victor: What do you mean? It’s exactly what it sounds like.

Ava: Hi. Come on in.

Philip: I was surprised to get your text. What’s up?

Ava: Well, I thought you’d like to know in advance that gabi hernandez dimera is plotting against you.

Philip: Plotting against me how?

Ava: Well, she and the new corporate spy– they’re planning to oust you from titan and take over themselves.

Philip: I thought the lady did protest too much.

Jake: Abigail, hi.

Abigail: Hi.

Gabi: I didn’t know you were back in town.

Abigail: Yeah, I got back this morning, but what are you guys doing here? Chad told me you moved out.

Gabi: Oh, you’ll be the first to hear the good news. We’re moving back in.

Chad: Over my dead body.

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Rafe: Something that belongs to you. Oh, if you’re talking about sami, I haven’t spoken to her since she left.

Ej: Neither have I. Nor do I care.

Rafe: Right.

Ej: I’m talking about the million dollars you seized from the bonnie lockhart case. It’s mine, and I want it back.

Rafe: It’s yours? That’s funny, ’cause bonnie said she stole it from xander cook, and xander cook said she stole it from him. Your name never came up.

Ej: It was money xander agreed to pay me for legal services I rendered.

Rafe: Really? For legal fees? Wow, that’s a hell of an hourly rate. See xander, you shoulda called that guy who advertises during the cubs games.

Ej: Wasn’t easy getting the charges dropped.

Rafe: Oh, I’ll bet, yeah. Sounds like you probably had to bribe a judge, and that definitely would jack up legal fees.

Ej: I don’t appreciate the insinuation.

Rafe: I don’t appreciate you being a crook. I hate to break it to you, counselor, but you’re not the only one with eyes on that money.

Ej: Cook owes that money to me.

Rafe: I wasn’t talking about cook. You see, the da expressed concerns about the provenance of that money, so until the lockhart case is resolved, which isn’t gonna be any time soon, you’re not getting that money back.

Gwen: You know, xander, maybe I’ve misjudged you here, but you don’t really strike me as the kind of bloke who wants to talk about the nature of our relationship.

Xander: Your father wanted to know my intentions were towards you.

Gwen: Your intentions? And what, is this jane austen? Do tell, mr. Cook. Tell me, were your intentions honorable? Did you say that you would protect my virtue?

Xander: No, I didn’t tell him anything ’cause you interrupted before I had to give him an answer.

Gwen: Sorry my father went all victorian on you.

Xander: No, I understood. He’s just worried about you. Doesn’t want you to get hurt again.

Gwen: I know.

Xander: He’s very protective of you.

Gwen: Yeah, I know. It’s something I’m not really used to, like I’m not really used to a man so much as lifting a finger for me. But you’ve done so much more than that for me, with the body-moving, and the rap-taking, and losing your job and a million dollars to ej dimera, all just so my father wouldn’t find out about this bloody mess I’ve got myself into with snyder.

Xander: It was pretty noble of me. Who knows where that came from?

Gwen: Right. I’m obviously grateful. I’m so grateful to you, I am. For everything that you’ve done.

Xander: Gratitude. It’s so nice. So circling back to where we started, about you and me. How do you feel?

Gabi: Chad, you’re not being very welcoming.

Chad: You’re not welcome here. We just got rid of the two of you; we don’t want you back.

Gabi: Oh, do I need to remind you it doesn’t matter what you want because I inherited this house from stefan. It’s mine, so I’d only let you stay here out of the kindness of my heart.

Chad: I’m sorry, what heart?

Abigail: Chad.

Gabi: Oh, no, no, he’s right. I am the villain of the piece, the merciless landlady that’s telling you to pack your crap and get out now.

Ej: The da expressed concern. Bull. You’re just holding my money hostage because you don’t like me.

Rafe: Well, first of all, dislike is such a tepid word for how I feel about you. But second, and more importantly, that money is evidence. That’s why the da’s holding it, and that’s why you’re not getting it back. Now, of course, you could talk to trask directly, but, well, she doesn’t like you any more than I do.

Ej: So it’s not personal, except that it is.

Rafe: Well sometimes, happily, you can have both. You know what strikes me as odd, though, is why you’re hung up on it. What’s a million bucks to a guy like you?

Ej: It’s a matter of principle.

Rafe: Principle, yes. You talking about principle is like sami talking about restraint.

Ej: Talking about samantha? She’s a cheater.

Rafe: I’m well aware.

Ej: She used my money to pay xander to expose another cheater, and I can’t let that stand.

Rafe: Oh, so nicole was right. But listen, if you want revenge, you’re gonna have to figure out another way to do it. There’s nothing more I can do for you. Now, if you’ll excuse me. I’ve got work to do.

[Tense music]

 

Gwen: How do I feel? No one’s asked me that since the nun standing over my bed after I woke up from my tonsillectomy. I was 11.

Xander: Well, I’m asking you now.

Gwen: Why do you care about how I feel?

Xander: Well, I think I need to know in order to answer your father’s question.

Gwen: Right, well let’s look at our history, shall we, xander? I jumped into bed with you so that I could forget how I feel.

Xander: Right.

Gwen: Yeah. Actually, I’ve been doing that for as long as I can remember. Not jumping into bed with men I don’t care about or know– that came later– but trying to forget about how I feel. I used to read a lot as a girl. Dickens. Dickens is really good to help you forget. And then, hello 13, and… then I discovered alcohol, sex. Didn’t do drugs, though, even though I knew it would do the trick, because mum did drugs, and she’d just forget I ever existed. Anyway, I learned early on to forget how I feel about life in order to survive it.

Xander: Well, I can relate. So men, sex is just another amnesiac. Ever serious about any of them?

Gwen: Jake was my longest relationship. I can see now very clearly that that was dysfunctional right from the get-go.

Xander: He’s certainly not a big loss.

Gwen: Being replaced by gabi, though, let me tell you. That was bloody fun. I had a front-row seat to his mating dance with her. Yeah, he would just bonk me on the pool table whenever he’d like, where she got wooed.

Xander: Ah, she just got wooed because she got money.

Gwen: Yes, sadly no. See, in jake’s eyes, she was the chosen one, and I was just yesterday’s mash. Story of my life. I have carefully cultivated a heart of stone. Bloody hell, listen to me. I sound like a hard-boiled wench, don’t I?

Xander: Well, if you do, that makes two of us.

[Tender music]

 

Victor: Since you have once again insinuated yourself into the center of this family, brady and I were discussing how best to handle you.

Brady: No, no, we weren’T. You were.

Victor: Well, you came to me. He says to me that you’re clouding philip’s judgment. And I say that since he’s chasing after you, he has no judgment.

Chloe: Hmm, really. But I’m good enough for brady?

Victor: Well, unfortunately, kristen has set the bar for “good enough for brady” so low that even you can crawl over it.

[Tense music]

 

Philip: How do you know gabi and jake are plotting against me?

Ava: I overheard them. Sorry I didn’t get more specifics.

Philip: I think I can figure them out. So you called me over here to tell me this out of the goodness of your heart?

Ava: Well, gabi has been doing everything she can to cause trouble for me and rafe, so just thought I’d return the favor.

Philip: I see. Well, thanks for the heads-up, but if that’s all, I–

Ava: Actually, the information that I gave you– it comes with one small string attached.

Philip: Why am I not surprised?

Chad: Why are you doing this now?

Gabi: Oh, great question. See, I wanted you out the minute you took jake’s job at dimera, but he didn’t wanna live here. I get it. Creepy house full of creeps. But now we figured out that it’s the right time to make the right move.

Jake: On a number of fronts.

Chad: What’s that supposed to mean?

Jake: We’ll see.

Gabi: Did you really think we were gonna let you live here indefinitely?

Chad: Well, I’ve had more pressing matters on my mind.

Abigail: Okay, look, gabi, I know we’re not close, okay, but you’re a mother. Charlotte and thomas have already been through so much. I mean, if you wanna punish chad and me, that’s one thing. But my kids live here. This is where they feel safe. They’re upstairs, getting ready for dinner. Do you seriously wanna just throw us all out on the street?

Gabi: Who said anything about you leaving? No, you and the kids are more than welcome to stay. Not you. Not ever.

[Dramatic percussion music]

To be a thriver

Xander: I couldn’t tell you how many women I’ve slept with, but I can tell you exactly how many I’ve been in love with. One.

Gwen: Sarah.

Xander: That’s right. For me, it was the real thing. I never felt like that my whole life. And I was so sure she felt the same way. But in the end, she felt she belonged with someone else, someone more… suitable.

Gwen: With a cheating, fickle doctor just like herself. Oh, I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to speak ill of the sainted sarah.

Xander: Liar.

Gwen: You’re bloody right I’m lying. I could say a lot worse about her. I’ll tell you about the things I’d like to see happen to her.

Xander: Well, I’m just very touched that you hate her so much on my behalf.

Gwen: It’s just, I see how hurt you are by her still.

[Tender music]

That is why it’s best just not to talk about feelings. In fact, it’s better to just simply not have any feelings at all. And to that end, I think that we should– perhaps we should part ways before things start to get potentially messy between us.

Xander: Maybe that would be safest. In the end, maybe that would be the smartest thing.

Gwen: Mm, yeah, maybe. Maybe I should just go right now.

Xander: Maybe you should.

Gwen: Problem is, I really don’t want to.

 

Chloe: Oh, victor. Now that you’ve given brady and me your blessing, can I call you grandpa kiriakis? You know, I’ll never understand all the horrible things that kristen did, but plunging a knife into that man’s chest, I think I can understand.

Brady: I never said he was… woke.

Chloe: Not woke? He’s not human.

Brady: Look, I know it’s useless trying to apologize for him, but you need to know, you need to believe me that everything he was talking about, that was him. Did not come from me.

Chloe: Really? So that just came out of the blue, that you’re supposed to win me away from philip? You came here to talk to him about something. What?

Brady: I told him I thought philip was losing focus.

Chloe: Because of me?

Brady: Chloe, titan is my legacy. I thought it was my duty to let him know. I just thought my grandfather needed to–

Chloe: Needed to what? To fire him? Your defense in all of this is that you weren’t plotting to steal philip’s girlfriend, just steal his job, right? Brady, how is that any better?

Philip: Look, I appreciate the heads-up. But I didn’t ask for it. And I don’t appreciate there being strings attached after the fact.

Ava: I am just asking you to keep me in mind if a job opens up at titan.

Philip: I thought you wanted to be top chef at julie’s place.

Ava: Not anymore.

Philip: What happened? She turn you down?

Ava: No. I called to check on my résumé, and I got the old man, who not only blew me off, he started cursing at me.

Philip: Doug swore at you. Wow. What’s gotten into him?

Ava: I don’t know, and I don’t care, but I don’t wanna work for crazy people.

Philip: Well, that rules out titan.

Ava: Hmm, I have limited options.

Philip: And skills. I mean, were you looking for a job in accounting? Collections? Money laundering and bone breaking aren’t words in hr’s database.

Ava: You’re the ceo, philip. I’m sure you can think of something.

Philip: But how would I explain that to my father? That I hired the woman who blackmailed me and nearly got me killed by the mob.

Ava: Oh, you still answer to that old man? I thought you were in charge. Philip, I know you’re gonna have some job openings because you’re gonna have to fire gabi and jake. Don’t you want someone with my fashion sense? I mean considering that you got none.

Philip: I can’t fire gabi unless I wanna lose gabi chic, and it’s a very profitable division.

Ava: So you’re gonna just sit there with a traitor in your midst and let her and her boyfriend plot to destroy you?

Philip: If it’s true, and I’ll find out if it is, they won’t get away with it.

Ava: Hey. Rafe, honey, you’re home early.

Philip: Hello, rafe.

Rafe: Hey, ava. Philip, wasn’t expecting to see you here in my home. To what do we owe the pleasure?

Abigail: So the kids and i can stay, but chad’s gotta go?

Gabi: I don’t blame you for chad and his brother shafting us.

Jake: And abigail, you know you’re my friend and I’d never kick you out.

Abigail: But you were willing to kick my husband out on his ass?

Jake: For what it’s worth, he’s not much of a husband.

Gabi: You left the state because you wanted to get away from him. You only came back because he begged you to. You’re sleeping in different bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. Now you’re just gonna be sleeping in different bedrooms on opposite sides of the town. It’s the distance that your heart desires.

Abigail: Where did you get that from?

Gabi: Well, the walls have ears; you know that.

Chad: Harold!

Gabi: Oh, no, don’t diss harold. He doesn’t work for you anymore. So chad, what is it going to be? Are you gonna uproot your hungry children and your fragile wife? Or are you just gonna tuck your tail between your legs and go? Because one way or another, you are going.

Chad: Fine.

Abigail: Chad, wait.

Chad: Oh, no, that’s fine. I’m not gonna cause a scene in front of our children. I’ll go. But I’ll be back.

Gabi: We’ll see about that. Did you know that your toughest cleaning problems

Philip: I’ll let ava explain. I’m running late. Ava, we’ll talk.

Rafe: Hmm. So what was that all about?

Ava: Oh, I was actually asking philip for a job at titan.

Rafe: Oh, I see. I’m sorry, so I walked in on a job interview in my kitchen and not at his office?

Ava: Oh, yeah. He said he was in the area, so he said he’d just come on by.

Rafe: Uh-huh. You know, I still don’t get it, though. Why would philip ever wanna hire you, given your history with him?

Ava: You know. I guess I understand why you’d wonder that, right?

Rafe: Yeah.

Ava: I did blackmail him and force him to launder some money.

Rafe: Yeah, you did it. I know all that. But you’re not answering my question. Why would he ever wanna work with you?

Brady: I’m not trying to get philip fired for any reason other than he’s putting titan at risk, chloe. Gabi and jake– they came to me yesterday. They were genuinely concerned about his erratic behavior and his lack of focus on the job.

Chloe: So you ran right to victor, just like they wanted you to. It didn’t occur to you for one minute that they have ulterior motives?

Brady: Of course it did. I know that gabi and jake want more power at titan, but that doesn’t make it wrong. Just to be clear, I don’t want philip’s job. I’m happy where I am. I love my job. And to be even clearer, I don’t even want philip fired. I just thought my granddad needed to–

Chloe: What? Tell philip to stop obsessing over me and just get back to work?

Brady: I never thought that he would suggest–

Chloe: What? Try to steal me away from philip?

Brady: Yeah.

Chloe: Well, I guess, you know, one good thing came out of this. Compared to kristen, victor thinks that I’m the lesser of two evils.

Gwen: That was fun.

Xander: Still no feelings, huh?

Gwen: Some.

Xander: Oh, I’m sorry. I hate to complicate good sex.

Gwen: It’s too late.

Xander: Maybe it is. You know, back when jack thought I turned you into a drug mule, we had a convenient excuse to keep things superficial, but now…

Gwen: Now there’s nothing in the way of us getting together.

Xander: No. Except for the fact that I could get shot back in prison any moment.

Abigail: Oh, I hate this.

Gabi: You’re more than welcome to leave if you want to.

Abigail: Chad?

Chad: No, no, no. I’m not gonna do that to the kids. It’s fine. They’ll be okay.

Ej: What the hell’s going on here?

Jake: We’re back.

Ej: I can see that.

Gabi: Oh, and we just kicked your brother out the house. Oh, and you’re next.

Ej: Oh, this is going to be so much more fun than I first thought.

Gabi: Yeah, well go have your fun somewhere else, because this is my house, and I want you out.

Ej: And I’m telling you, what you want doesn’t matter… because I now own this house.

[Dramatic electronic music]

People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Brady: I guess the real question is, are you gonna tell philip about this?

Chloe: No, he would go justifiably nuts.

Brady: Wouldn’t be a long trip.

Chloe: Gosh, you’re funny.

Brady: Sorry.

Chloe: You know what? I’m gonna tell you something that’s none of your business.

Brady: Okay.

Chloe: But earlier today, this afternoon, philip took me to the riverbank, the one that we always went to in high school, where we carved our initials onto that tree.

Brady: That’s adorable. He took you to the stump of the tree that he chopped down in a jealous rage. Nice.

Chloe: No. We planted a new tree. A sapling. And one day, when that tree is big enough, we will carve our initials into that. And you know it takes many, many, many years for a tree to grow. So what I’m saying is that he and I are in it for the long haul.

Brady: It’s not the first time you’ve said that, chloe.

Chloe: Okay, I didn’t tell you that to tell you to back off, but maybe you should back off. The way that you treat philip and you talk about him to me is with contempt. And yeah, he’s like every other single human being on the planet– he’s not perfect– but news flash, brady: Neither are you. The difference is, he’s at least trying to change. He’s not being condescending or arrogant or complacent, like you.

Brady: I never said I was perfect, okay?

Chloe: Not perfect? You’re turning into victor.

Brady: Chloe, the thing that bugs me about philip is, when he’s around you, he just gets crazy. He’s like, you’re desdemona to his othello.

Chloe: Will you stop pretending like you were actually awake in school?

Philip: Hey, brady. What are you doing here?

Ava: Why would philip hire me? That’s a good question. Like I said, but you know what? Maybe philip actually believes that I have changed, and he wants to give me a chance.

Rafe: Doesn’t sound like philip to me.

Ava: Well, maybe philip’s changed. Hey, speaking of change, I was gonna call you before philip came over to let you know what’s going on with jake and gabi.

Rafe: Okay.

Ava: You remember how they were staying here temporarily?

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Ava: Mm-hmm. Well, temporarily is over. They’re gone.

Chad: What is that?

Ej: The deed to this house.

Chad: How did you manage that?

Gabi: Let me see that.

Ej: The situation didn’t sit right with me the moment I got back to salem. The widow dimera owning the family home? She was married to stefan for a nanosecond.

Gabi: Because he was killed.

Ej: Making her even more of an interloper than the happily departed stefan.

Gabi: Would you stop saying his name? Okay, this is– this can’t be legal. The bank never notified me.

Ej: Two can play at stefan’s game. Oh, sorry. I’ll never use his name again. There won’t be any need to.

Chad: Did you buy the bank?

Ej: We can discuss those details later. The point is, the mansion is now mine, and I decide who stays and who goes. Abigail, would you mind helping chad unpack the bag? And you two can get the hell out. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Brady: I was just visiting my grandfather. You don’t have a problem with that, do you?

Philip: Of course not. Why would I? I actually hope you make a habit of it. He’s been kinda down since maggie’s been gone.

Brady: Yeah, well, I don’t think I’m the one to cheer him up, though. He told me he had a party here, and obviously didn’t invite me. He told me it’s because I’m now working for the enemy.

Philip: I don’t need to explain him to you. He’s never going to admit he’s wrong, that you had every reason to leave, but he misses you, and he loves you. And I’m sure he’d love for you to stay for dinner. You free?

[Pensive music]

 

Gabi: I am calling my lawyer.

Ej: Fine, but you’ll have to leave first. You are trespassing.

Gabi: Seriously, abigail? Come one, I was nice to you.

Abigail: Yeah, and then you tried to throw my husband out on his ass.

Gabi: Oh, you don’t want him anyway.

Chad: How about I throw you out on your ass?

Jake: You know what, gabi? They’re not worth it. Let’s go.

[Tense music]

 

Ej: Be sure and give your brother my best. And no hard feelings, I hope. I was right. That was fun.

[Laughs]

Rafe: So you got in another fight with gabi, huh? She moved out? Again? She say where she was going?

Ava: Nope, she did not. She did not leave a forwarding address.

Rafe: Huh. Do I smell tacos?

Ava: Tamales.

Rafe: Tamales?

Ava: Mm, yes. Gabi was in the middle of steaming them when she left. Said she was tired of my italian cooking, so… you hungry?

Rafe: Starving. Oh, man. I have to deal with this.

Ava: No, like leaving? When you gonna be back?

Rafe: Oh, I don’t know. Could take a while. Yeah, go ahead. Eat without me. Sorry.

[Uneasy music]

 

Gwen: I know that ej was trying to get those charges against you reinstated, but xander, you haven’t done anything wrong. And I can get my father to swear to that, and so will I.

Xander: No, gwen. I’m not having you get on the stand to lie about being a prostitute in philly.

Gwen: I am not letting you go to prison. Anyway, ej already got the judge to drop the charges. Yeah, how can they just dredge that up again? Isn’t that like double jeopardy or something?

Xander: Maybe.

Gwen: And if ej was going to do it, don’t you think he would have done it by now?

Xander: I don’t know. He did call the judge yesterday, so I guess it’s possible I could have changed his mind.

Gwen: How?

Xander: I beat him up a bit.

Gwen: So ej gave you that split lip, did he?

Xander: Yeah, but you know. I got the better of him.

Gwen: You know, I think instead of changing his mind, you probably pissed him off even more.

Xander: Oh, and you find that funny. That’s great.

Gwen: Well, I know what kind of person you are. You don’t really beg for mercy. You swing first, and you think later.

Xander: That sounds like someone else I know.

Gwen: At least ej didn’t put you out of service. Does it still hurt?

Xander: Yeah. But not as badly as my poor hip.

[Soft music]

 

Gwen: I think that maybe I should kiss it and make it better.

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Philip: So will you stay?

Brady: Sure. I’m a little surprised you want me to.

Philip: Well, to be honest, I found out today I was out of line with you. I now know that you didn’t put the keylogger on my laptop.

Brady: Really? How’d you find out?

Philip: I found out who actually did. Anyway, I owe you an apology. Sorry.

Brady: It’s forgotten.

Philip: Glad to hear it. Well, I’m gonna go tell henderson to set another plate and then tell father the prodigal son is staying for dinner.

Chloe: See, I told you you were wrong about him.

Brady: Yeah, we’ll see.

Jake: Whoa, deja esos tamales. That means get your mitts off gabi’s tamales.

Ava: What are you two doing here?

Gabi: Oh, well, we decided we’re not moving out after all.

Ava: How long you here for?

Gabi: For good.

Jake: You see this working out well, gabi?

Gabi: Nope, I don’T. Oh, thank you. So it’s a third for you, third for me, and a third for when rafe gets home. Oh, um… okay.

Abigail: Ej, thank you.

Chad: Yeah, and thanks for doing it all behind my back.

Abigail: Chad…

Chad: What? No, I mean, did you think that I wouldn’t be interested in what you’re up to, or you didn’t think I could keep a secret.

Ej: Neither. I thought you had a lot on your mind and it was something I could do to take care of the family.

Chad: Yeah, but now you own the family house, right?

Ej: Isn’t it better than being beholden to gabi?

Chad: I’m sorry. Are you implying that I’m now beholden to you?

Abigail: All right, all right, all right. Why don’t we just not pick a fight tonight, please? Why don’t you go upstairs, put your things away, and bring the kids back down for dinner?

Chad: Okay.

Abigail: Okay.

Chad: Ej, thank you.

Abigail: You did kinda spring it on him.

Ej: We’ll work it out. We always do.

Abigail: Well, I am very grateful that I don’t have to uproot the kids, so did you wanna join us for dinner?

Ej: Actually, I’ll take a tray in my room. I’m waiting on a call.

Abigail: Is everything okay?

Ej: Let’s just say, if someone tries to take something that belongs to me, they usually end up regretting it.

Abigail: And I’m assuming that someone would be gabi.

Ej: Let’s just say, there’s more fun to be had.

[Sinister music]

 

Abigail: Okay.

Gwen: Now, I think that room service is probably the greatest achievement of western civilization.

Xander: I haven’t used it in days. Every time there’s a knock at the door, I jump, thinking it’s the bloody cops.

Gwen: Look, if ej called the judge yesterday and nothing’s happened, then I don’t think anything’s gonna happen.

Xander: Yeah. Maybe he’s not as powerful as he thinks he is.

Gwen: Yeah. It’s about time you and I had some good luck for a change, don’t you think?

[Knock at door] Now that’s prompt service.

Xander: Good, ’cause I am starving. What do you want?

Rafe: Police business. Charges against you have been reinstated.

Gwen: What?

Rafe: Xander cook, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you.

One?

[ Upbeat mellow instrumental ]

Steffy: Well, I think we sufficiently tired out the kids. Kelly and hayes passed out the moment I put them down.

Finn: Play hard, crash hard.

Steffy: Yeah. Words to live by. Did we do the same to uh, to paris? Where is she?

Finn: She’s upstairs, I think she’s coming back.

Steffy: Your instincts were right about her. I think she’s great, you know. She’s such a welcomed addition.

Finn: Oh seriously. Paris is awesome. She’s great with the kids, a good friend. Always upbeat.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Makes it impossible to be in a bad mood when when you’re around her. It’s hard to imagine life around here without her.

Steffy: I know. Whoa.

[ Finn laughs ]

Paris: Careful what you wish for. I could easily become the guest that comes to stay for a night and never leaves.

Finn: That wouldn’t be the worst.

Thomas: Ah-ah-ah… oh!

Douglas: I won!

Hope: Again!

Thomas: Why do I bother? Why do I bother? I don’t know. This makes no sense.

Douglas: I’m the undefeated champion of the world!

Hope: Oh, and he’s modest, too.

Thomas: Very.

Douglas: And you’re the best designer ever? Right?

Thomas: Well, I’m not sure about that, but I’m definitely trying.

Hope: Oh. Well, your designs have been wonderful.

Thomas: Thank you.

Hope: I mean it. I am really happy we’re working together.

Douglas: Hear that, daddy? You make mommy happy.

Thomas: Well. That is what I live for. Pew-pew-pew!

Hope: All right, I play the next winner.

Thomas: You play the winner? Okay, I gotta step up my game.

Hope: Aww. Beth must be loving this. She’s got her daddy all to herself. All right, well you two have fun. Ah-hem. Douglas. That was a brilliant idea. Beth is having a blast.

Douglas: She gets to be alone with liam and I get to be alone with my mommy and daddy. C’mon! I want to show you something.

Thomas: Okay.

Douglas: I’ve been practicing throwing football.

Thomas: Okay. Here. Give it to mE. Whoa! Okay, let’s go outside. I want to see that arm in action.

Hope: All right, have fun you two. I will be here working away!

Douglas: Bye mommmy.

Thomas: See ya.

Paris: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.

Steffy: What?

Finn: You didn’T. You just walked in the room.

Steffy: It’s no secret how highly we think of you. You have a calming effect on this household. And there’s a lot of order where there used to be chaos… everywhere.

Paris: Another pair of hands can do wonders.

Steffy: It’s amazing but I’m not just talking about that. I’m just so grateful to have you here. Your spirit. Like, you really light up this house and our family.

Paris: That’s so sweet. But no, you guys have given me so much. From a roof over my head to a place in your beautiful childrens’ lives. A friendship I never expected. You guys are the best. From my heart. Paris: Zoe staying in paris was not the outcome I expected. And no doubt, it threw my life up in the air. But it’s funny how things work out. Like as unhappy as I was, if zoe had come back I wouldn’t be in this beautiful place on the ocean no less.

Steffy: I’m so glad we could share it with you. But it’s not just the location, it’s the way this house feels. The love and the laughter, ah! I’m just so lucky to be living here.

Finn: Paris. We’re the lucky ones. I mean, steffy, the kids. Me.

Steffy: Yeah, kelly and hayes adore you. I actually get a little jealous sometimes, a little bit.

Paris: Stop it.

Steffy: I do, I do. Like come on, I’m a mom. But like, it’s so good to have your energy here. A strong female. Your spirit, you’re so kind. And you sing, and then you go to work and you handle the foundation and then you have your input for the future– like, it’s invaluable.

Paris: I’m actually really enjoying that.

Steffy: Good. So, how are things with zende?

Paris: You know it’s kind of an added perk working with him.

Steffy: Mm-hm.

Paris: And thomas, oh, he’s talented.

Steffy: Don’t tell him that. His head is already way too big.

Steffy: So are zende and thomas playing nicely?

Paris: Yeah, from what I’ve seen.

Steffy: Really?

Paris: Yeah.

Steffy: Like, I know they’ve had some isues before but I have faith they’re gonna figure it out.

Paris: That’s what family does.

Steffy: Yeah, and that’s what’s good about my grandfather. He like, throws all the elements out there and they just have to figure it out. It’s just what we do– babe. Babe. What are you doin’?

Finn: My sunblock. Now that family time’s over, I want to hit those big waves. And I have not forgotten about getting you a surfboard yet. I–I will not take no for an answer.

Paris: Okay. I will definitely take you up on that.

[ Finn laughs ]

Hope: I emailed some adjustments. Nothing major. But if they don’t feel right, you don’t have to take them. I trust your instincts. Okay, sounds good. Thank you, zende. Talk later.

Thomas: Well, that is why you’re so great to work for.

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: Wha–what is?

Thomas: Well, you trust your creative team. You know, zende designed the dress, sure, but it’s your line and you have the last call and you gave it to him. It shows you trust us. And we really appreciate that.

Hope: Well, I love both of your designs. And I think you two have found the perfect balance for my line.

Thomas: Well, I gotta say, you know– don’t tell zende I said this but he’s really impressed me lately, you know? He’s grown so much and he’s shown commitment to the line. He’s really stepped up his game and quickly. You know who else has stepped up his game? Mm…douglas! I have to say he’s probably the next tom brady.

Hope: Oh my goodness, that’s high praise.

Douglas: Mommy and liam have been helping me.

Hope: Mmhm. It sure has been fun watching you have fun, it makes me happy.

Douglas: I love it when you’re happy, mommy.

Hope: Oh, I do too. It’s been a nice change of pace, actually. I’m sorry there were some sad times before.

Douglas: Mommy and beth and I all felt bad when liam was away.

Thomas: I know you did, bud.

Douglas: Mommy really missed him. She cried when she thought we were sleeping, but sometimes I could hear her.

Hope: Oh, sweetie. You weren’t supposed to hear that. I’m sorry.

Douglas: But it’s okay to cry when you’re sad. Right, daddy?

Thomas: That’s right. Exactly.

Douglas: Everything’s so much better now. I don’t know why liam was gone or where he went, but I’m glad he came home. Mommy’s smiling now and she loves liam so much. Truthfully, it’s frustrating to see how fast dust reappears.

Paris: Everything good with the babes?

Steffy: Haven’t even changed position. We really wore them out.

Finn: Well, it helps having a third.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s nice having more energy on our side.

Paris: What can I say? Kelly and hayes just bring out the big kid in me.

[ Steffy laughs ] They really do love you. Are you still looking for that sunblock?

Finn: It’s driving me crazy. I don’t know where– it has to be in here somewhere.

Paris: Did you leave it on the beach?

Finn: I never forget things.

Steffy: Except for the sunblock?

Finn: Ha. Ha.

Steffy: Okay, I got a phone conference I’m gonna do in the bedroom. Thanks so much for everything today, paris.

Paris: Oh, it was such a chore. Splashing in the ocean, running on the beach…

Steffy: Chasing after some over excited kids? We really appreciate you.

Paris: You’re very welcome.

Steffy: All right, I’m gonna take that call. Thanks.

Paris: So do you need an extra pair of eyes?

Finn: Oh no, you– you relax. Enjoy the quiet while it lasts.

Paris: Oh, seriously–

Finn: You’ve done enough today.

Paris: Okay, fine.

Finn: Yeah.

Paris: I enjoyed every minute of it.

Finn: Well, that’s what makes you so great. How in the moment you are. You find joy in all of the moments. Have you always been this super positive person?

Paris: Positive always beats negative every time.

Finn: I’m grateful to have your positivity in our lives. You have a special place in our hearts.

Thomas: Would you look at that? His aim, his follow through? It’s incredible.

Hope: I just– I love how determined he is. It’s like when he sets his mind to something, he gives it his all. He has to master it.

Thomas: He is a really rare and exceptional kid. I can’t believe that I had like, any part in making that, you know? That I have any influence on him at all? It’s pretty incredible.

Hope: Well, I feel the same way. Thomas, thank you for sharing& your son with me.

Thomas: I couldn’t have made a better choice for douglas.

[ Hope chuckles ]

Hope: Well, I’m glad you still feel that way.

Thomas: Why wouldn’t I?

Hope: I don’t know. Douglas has been through a lot for a kid his age.

Thomas: Yeah. But, you know that’s life. It kind of just happens. But after everything he has been through it’s turned him into this like, wise young man, you know. And look, you’re an incredible mother so don’t doubt yourself.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: Douglas was right about one thing.

Hope: Only one thing?

Thomas: Okay, he’s right about everything. Everything. But don’t tell him that, he’s gonna get a massive head.

Thomas: But what he was right about a minute ago was how happy you arE. You really do seem happy.

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: Well, I think I have you to thank for that in some part. I mean, we almost lost liam for god knows how long. But thanks to you and your determination and your commitment to the truth, I have my family back together again. And you helped make that happen, thomas. And, I could thank you 1000 times a day, everyday for the rest of my life and it still doesn’t feel like that would be enough but… I don’t know, thomas, you– you really are a changed man.

Thomas: Well, that means a lot hearing you say that.

Thomas: I really do care about you. I always have cared about you– love you, on some level. You know, but now the way I love you is healthy. All I want is your happiness and you’re the happiest I’ve ever seen you, so that makes me happy. If you can choose to be kind to your body

Hope: I know your feelings for me are complicated.

Thomas: Yeah, look, you don’t have to worry. I’m not gonna let those feelings be an issue any longer, okay? I want to preserve what we have right now.

Hope: I value our friendship, too. I want you to understand that. I know what a big deal it was for you to help liam come home to the kids and me. I mean, it was– it was selfless.

Thomas: Liam’s your husband. He’s the man you love. And for a while it’s almost like I didn’t understand that. I did some things I’m not proud of.

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: Well, we can all lose our way sometimes.

Thomas: But I’m better now. I promise. And douglas, he is happy he’s secure here with the cabin, you, liam, beth. It’s amazing and he gets to see me whenever he wants so that’s great.

Hope: Which is a lot because he certainly adores you.

Thomas: I love him so much. He’s my number one priority. I do have another priority though and that’s you. It is. Your happiness. Making sure that beautiful smile lights up that beautiful face just like that.

[ Hope exhales ]

Hope: I’m going to be honest. I’m–I’m really happy that things are easy between us now. And not just for douglas’ sake. For me too, you know, I’ve really been enjoying co-parenting together, and working together. I really do feel like we look out for each other.

Thomas: Well, despite my missteps, you and I have had some good times together. I’ll always cherish those memories.

Hope: Me too. I’m gonna go check on douglas.

Finn: Got it.

Paris: Sorry?

Finn: Sunblock. Finally found it. But I’m gonna go hit the waves but I need to ask you for a favor, first.

Paris: Name it.

Finn: Get my back?

Paris: There. All protected.

Finn: Why stop there? You are so beautiful.

Paris: Finn. You’re married. You have a beautiful family with steffy.

Finn: I’ve never met anyone like you. I need you in my life, paris. All right, paris. I’m headed to the beach. Catch the waves. Beach time.

Paris: Hey, what’s up? What is it?

Finn: Why are you looking at me like that?

Paris: You are amazing. Like, I mean you’re handsome, you’re smart. You’re a wonderful husband. A loving dad. You’re even a doctor? The complete and total package. And, steffy is so lucky to have you. Finn, there’s something that you need to know. And it’s not easy for me to say.

Finn: What’s wrong? You can tell me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Jack! Oh, jack!

Traci: Ciao, mio fratello jack.

Jack: Ciao, yourself.

Traci: [ Laughs ] I thought my work-in-progress italian was gonna get your attention.

Jack: Music to my ears.

Traci: Listen, I’m on my way to see abby and the baby. Would you to come along with me?

Jack: It’s kind of late, isn’t it?

Traci: It is, but the baby doesn’t know that, and apparently, he is wide awake. So do you want to come?

Jack: You know what? I-I — give them my best. I think I’ll stay here. I got a few things I got to do.

Traci: Like…staring at a wedding invitation?

Jack: Maybe.

Traci: Oh. You know, staring at it isn’t gonna get you to milan any sooner.

Jack: A fella can dream, can’t he?

Traci: [ Chuckles ] You okay?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I’m maybe a little tired. Otherwise, I’m great.

Traci: Is that why you’re transfixed by kyle and summer’s invitation?

Jack: It was addressed to “jack and guest,” and, of course, I’m going solo.

Traci: I see.

Jack: This is the umpteenth wedding I have gone to alone, traci.

Traci: [ Sighs ] So that’s where we are.

Jack: “That’s where we are,” what does that mean?

Traci: Well, it’s just that I’ve seen this before. I mean, it’s a little bit of a cycle. You fall in love, something goes wrong, you swear off love, and then you get a little bit lonely and you start yearning for romance.

Jack: Yearning, huh?

Traci: [ Laughs ] Yes. It’s just part of the pattern. And it just happens you’re at the lowest point right now, and you have been since…

Jack: Go ahead, you can say it. Since mother died.

Traci: But I know that you are going to find someone.

Jack: Yeah.

Traci: The universe would never let somebody with a heart as big as yours be alone for too long.

Jack: That’s my sister traci, the cock-eyed optimist.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Yes, that’s me. So, why don’t you go upstairs, go to bed, and get some rest?

Jack: I wish I could. I’m trying to stay up late so that I can call kyle in italy. He starts his day with a workout, and I’m trying to get him before he gets on the treadmill because I can’t stand talking to him when he’s huffing and puffing.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Okay. Send my love, won’t you? And tell them I can’t wait to see him and summer and harrison.

Jack: Will do. Love you, sis. My son is getting married, and i am still single.

[ Sighs ]

Dina: They grow up so fast, don’t they?

Jack: Hello, mother.

Jack: I’ve been thinking of you.

Dina: I know.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: You should be at this wedding. It’s a family event.

Dina: Who says I won’t be there? No one’s ever stopped dina abbott mergeron from crashing a good party. I will have a bird’s-eye view, i promise you.

Jack: I should’ve known nothing could ever stop you.

Dina: Of course not. That’s my grandson getting married.

Jack: You’re right, you know. They grow up so fast.

Dina: That’s why you can’t waste a moment, not like I did. You must cherish every second. And, jackie, you must always follow your heart.

Abby: Look who it is, dominic! It’s our favorite great-uncle, isn’t it? The patriarch of the long branch of your family tree.

[ Gasps ] I wish nothing more than for you to grow up and have a heart as big as your uncle jack’S. Is olay better than your clean beauty?

Abby: Isn’t it miraculous, uncle jack?

Jack: Yes, it is. And you are such a natural.

Abby: I never knew I could love someone this much.

Jack: And he loves you.

Traci: It’s the first love we ever experience — the love of a child and their parent. It’s so innocent and pure and untainted by heartbreak. I mean, look at them, you can feel the love.

Jack: It’s a miracle. And we live our lives as parents trying to live up to promises we made at moments like that. “I will always keep you safe. I will never let anyone harm you. I will never let anyone break your heart.”

Traci: Jack, those are promises you can never keep. No matter how hard you try, you can never protect your children from everything. And heartbreak, it’s — it’s just a part of the human experience. It helps us learn to overcome pain and move on.

Jack: Is that the lesson? I’m supposed to learn to move on?

Traci: Jack, of course not. You’ve had your heart broken over and over.

Jack: Well, not that many times.

Traci: And yet you keep coming back for more. You love to be in love.

Jack: You make that sound like a bad thing. Isn’t that what everyone wants? To love and be loved?

Traci: But you’ve elevated it to an art form.

Jack: It was never my choice. I just never found the right person.

Traci: Really? After all these years? Are you sure?

[ Heart beating ]

Jack: Can you hear that? Traci? Abby?

Phyllis: Psst.

Jack: Phyllis?

[ “Cherry moon” plays ] Mother, they’re playing your song.

Traci: [ Humming ] Mother and daddy loved that song, didn’t they, jack?

Jack: Oh, boy, did they. Those are wonderful memories.

Traci: Oh, yes, I can still remember them coming home from the club, still dancing, still laughing. How did they seem so happy, but they really weren’t? I mean, was it all a lie or a façade? Or did something change?

Jack: I guess that’s one of those questions we’ll never know the answer to. Romance is best left to the poets.

Traci: Or the novelists.

Jack: Or the novelists, that’s right. You’re — you’re writing the book on dina.

Traci: I’m looking for answers, jack, just like you.

Jack: Keep looking. Don’t give up. Answers sometimes come from where you least expect them, just like love.

Traci: Love. When it comes to love, you have always been the eternal optimist, haven’t you?

Jack: Well, maybe it’s all just a façade. Like the one mom and dad showed us when they were falling apart inside.

Traci: Do you believe that, jack? Do you believe that’s what happened? That daddy knew on some level that she was inevitably gonna leave us, that she was gonna take off and follow her own heart?

Jack: He had to know how unhappy she was somehow.

Traci: So what changed? Did their love change or did they?

Jack: Another question for the ages.

Traci: Oh, jack, I want to believe that daddy felt that their love was so strong that it could endure anything. That if the circumstances had been different, they would have made it work out. That she would have stayed here and she would have found her happiness here. That their love was just that strong.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes. We all want to believe that, yes.

Traci: I think you do believe that, jack. And that’s why you never got bitter or jaded after all you’ve had to endure.

Jack: Always seeing a happy ending even when there isn’t one in sight.

Traci: I’m guilty, but I’m also right about you believing in love. Even for yourself. Especially for yourself.

Jack: Well, I haven’t given up on the concept.

Traci: No, of course you haven’T. If you had, then you wouldn’t still be yearning to find love. And I know you are. I can see it in your face.

lavender scented tube

Nick: You just couldn’t let it go, could you? Did you not think that I would find out what was going on?

Jack: Nothing is going on!

Nick: Your own sister knows. What’d she call it, “yearning”?

Jack: But traci was mistaken.

Nick: No, she is polite. Yearning is the nice way to put it. We both know what you’re doing is darker and more depraved.

Jack: Okay, what exactly do you think is going on?

Nick: It’s not what! It’s who. It’s phyllis. How could you do this?

[ Heart beating ]

Jack: I haven’t done anything.

Nick: Our relationship was finally in a good place. We’ve got some balance and we are in love.

Jack: That’s great. I’m happy for you.

Nick: No, no. And you’re doing everything you can to ruin it, jack. I trust you. I respect you. What are you doing?

Jack: You did something far worse years ago, when you went after phyllis while I was still with her.

Nick: Oh, well, does this justify your actions then?

Jack: What actions? I haven’t done anything.

Nick: You put all these thoughts in her head. And now everything’s changed because you’re standing between us.

Jack: That was never my intention. No, I was not making a play for phyllis.

Nick: Really? Then what are you doing?

Jack: I was trying to be honest about my feelings. You’re wrong when you say everything has changed.

Nick: No, you heard me talking about my relationship with phyllis, how I was concerned that we are fated for a disaster again.

Jack: That’s right. I remember. And you told me someone’s words — not mine — had put doubts in your head. You’re a strong, self-assured man, nick. No way that could happen unless you harbored some of those doubts inside.

Nick: You’re doing everything you can to cast blame away from yourself. Why would you tell phyllis that you’re madly in love with her when you know that we are together right now? What is wrong with you?!

Phyllis: Nick, stop!

Nick: Why? I’m not saying anything that jack doesn’t know already.

Phyllis: Jack is not the reason for everything that’s going on between us.

Nick: What is going on between us?

Phyllis: Do I need to say it out loud?

Jack: Wait, wait, wait. Don’t — don’t say anything rash. Look, I may be at fault here. I may have crossed the line in telling you what I was feeling. I did not mean any harm. The last thing I want to do was cause trouble between the two of you.

Phyllis: You’re not responsible for any of this.

Jack: Listen to me, phyllis. These feelings that I have had for a very long time, I should have kept them buried. I had no right to blurt them out to you or anyone else. I had no business taking all of my issues and dumping them in your lap.

Phyllis: No, it was fine. It was the purest kind of honesty. It was beautiful. Unbridled. You were telling me your truth.

Jack: Nick, I’m sorry. You were right. I could never let her go. I never moved on.

Sally: I couldn’t agree more. You should’ve let go of phyllis a long time ago, jack.

Jack: Sally.

Sally: We could’ve had a chance if you had only moved on. I promise that I would have loved you way more than your ex ever did. What can I du with less asthma?

Sally: You made a huge mistake, jack. Legendary screw-up. You could have had this. But instead, you made a play for an old, painful error in judgment named phyllis.

Jack: I didn’t make a play for her.

Sally: We had so much potential. Off the charts. We could have been genoa city’s power couple.

Jack: I think you’re misremembering what happened between us.

Sally: I have total recall. I know exactly what we had. It was magical. You blew it.

Jack: I — it’s my fault?

Sally: I may have made a mistake or two, but mostly, you’re to blame because i genuinely cared about you, jack, and part of me still does. But at least I can recognize when it’s time to give up and walk away. You need to shut the door on your past or you’re gonna miss even more opportunities in life.

Jack: Wow, you’re good. You actually had me questioning whether this was my fault, whether I ruined any chance of having a life with you. No, it was you. It was your lies, your deceptions, your insistence on sabotaging my son’s relationship.

Sally: That’s not fair.

Nick: Remember summer?

Sally: Ha, another country heard from. Yes, summer. I am so sorry that I got her that fabulous job in that very glamorous city. What a tragedy. I mean, how will she ever survive?

Jack: You were right about one thing. You had enormous potential.

Sally: Oh. Well, thank you.

Jack: I recognize that part of you wishes you could do it without all the dirty tricks. You’re talented. You just don’t trust it. I know you have a moral compass. You just forget to look at it. We could never have had anything because you didn’t know who you were or who you wanted to be.

Sally: I actually know exactly who sally spectra is — the good and the bad. You just couldn’t accept it. And let’s be honest here, did i really do anything worse than phyllis has done over the years? I mean, I never ran anybody over with my car, so why should she get a free pass?

Both: Because she’s phyllis.

Sally: Lovely. She has her own fan club. And I’m so sorry that you couldn’t have forgiven me the way that you forgave phyllis countless times before.

Jack: I am sorry.

Sally: We could’ve had fun, jack.

Nick: Fun and games don’t last forever, huh, jack?

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I guess — I guess that’s true.

Sally: And now you don’t have a date to the wedding. Maybe you should ask phyllis.

Nick: Don’t even think about it.

Jack: Nikki! What the hell are you doing?

Nikki: Taking away the bottle won’t stop anybody from drinking, jack. You know that.

Jack: I also know I can stop you for the moment. Why are you drinking in the first place? What has victor done now?

Nikki: It’s not victor. I don’t know why you would assume that. You have no understanding of our relationship. Victor and I have been happy for years. Through all the ups and downs, we have each other. What do you have? Nothing.

Jack: I have plenty of things that bring me happiness.

Nikki: Oh, yeah, what? Name one.

Jack: My grandson, harrison.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ] Who lives in italy. Try agaiN.

Jack: Why are you attacking me?

Nikki: Because you deserve it.

Jack: Because I said something negative about victor?

Nikki: No, for being jealous of victor and me. You always have been. Victor and I have love and devotion, and that’s what you want, isn’t it? Isn’t it?! You’ve always wanted that, and that is why you hurt nicholas.

Jack: Wait, wait, what are you talking about now?

Nikki: Phyllis broke his heart again, thanks to you. And I don’t like seeing my son in pain.

Jack: Whoa, wait, that is why you’re drinking?

Nikki: Nicholas has had his heart crushed over and over. How could you, of all people, do that to him?

Jack: Has everyone gone mad? All I did was tell phyllis she was still in my heart.

Nikki: Ah! And that you have never stopped loving her.

Jack: Why would that make any difference for nick and phyllis? Why does what I feel matter at all? Look, they’ve found happiness. I’m happy for them. I care about them. I would never do anything to jeopardize their relationship.

Nikki: Are you sure about that?

[ Heart beating ] Here’s a good halloween trick.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: How can you sit there and claim your innocence? You went to phyllis and you confessed! You bared your soul to her. You wanted to destroy her relationship with nicholas so you could take his place.

Jack: No, that is not what i meant. Look, I regret now having told phyllis everything that I was feeling. It was late, and I had one too many glasses of wine.

Nikki: Oh, I hope you’re not gonna use that excuse with me.

Jack: I’m not saying it completely absolves me. I’m just saying the alcohol lowered my inhibition. I thought I could speak my mind with phyllis. I went too far. I never meant to harm anyone.

Nikki: You shouldn’t have done it, jack!

Jack: I don’t know why it matters to you. This is something that could so easily be written off or forgotten. I don’t know why it hasn’t been.

Nikki: At least be honest with yourself, jack.

Victor: And stop pretending you’re a saint. You have fooled too many people for too long in this town. I know your real M.O. I’ve watched you do your devious, underhanded stuff in order to get what you want. But you always put a sheen of respectability and righteousness over it all. You fooled a lot of people, but you don’t fool me. I know the truth.

Jack: Oh, I suppose you’re the saint in this scenario.

Victor: Not all. Never pretended to be. With me, you get what you see. I’m ruthless. But I do not whisper sweet nothings into my old flame’s ear whilst knowing that she’s involved with someone else.

Jack: Okay, I am not going to argue about phyllis with you of all people.

Victor: I don’t give a damn about phyllis.

Jack: So you agree with nikki, that I interfered with nicholas’ relationship with phyllis?

Victor: Nick will move on. Always does. He changes women the way he changes careers.

Nikki: Doesn’t make the heartache any less painful. What does everybody else think?

Jack: Wh– okay, what is this? What is going on?

Nikki: We all have thoughts about what you did.

Jack: I don’t regret what is in my heart. It is part of who I am. As long as I don’t act on those feelings, it’s none of your business. And, yes, having a partner would have been better than spending the rest of my life alone, but sometimes loneliness is just part of life.

Traci: Poor jack.

Nick: My heart bleeds.

Traci: You could still find love again, jack, just not with phyllis. You need to keep looking.

Victor: Jack, you’re a hypocrite.

Sally: You made a huge mistake. You could’ve had this.

Nick: You know how I feel.

Jack: I know how you all feel. It doesn’t matter. I’m not looking for sympathy. I don’t care what any of you think or feel.

Nikki: Apparently, you do.

Jack: I didn’t hurt anyone. I didn’t break any laws telling phyllis that I still have feelings for her. I hold each of you in my heart to some degree. My family, my friends, the people I work with. I have love in my life. It’s more than enough for me.

Phyllis: Jack. You have to be honest with yourself.

Jack: I am telling the truth.

Phyllis: You have to stop saying what you want to be true and admit what really is. The love that you have from your friends and family and memories, it’s not enough. You don’t to go to that wedding alone. You don’t want to be alone anymore. What you really want more than anything is to be with —

Jack: [ Sighs ] Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Jack: Thank you. Maybe the reason I didn’t move on with my romantic life was… ’cause I already was with the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. Maybe you set the bar too high, red.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Listen, I don’t — I don’t think you should say things that you might not mean.

Jack: I’m not saying this because I’ve had too much to drink. I’m saying it because it’s true. I have never stopped loving you. And I don’t think I ever will. Come on. You can’t be that shocked.

Phyllis: I don’t know what to say.

Jack: Let me be clear about this. I’m not acting on any of these feelings. I know our time is over. I know you’ve moved on. Life has moved on. I know you’re happy with…

Phyllis: With nick. That’s a fact.

Jack: Well, here’s another fact. I still love you… truly, deeply. And I have to live with that. I can’t stop it. It won’t go away.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ] Hey. Thanks for coming by. I know it’s late.

Nick: You said it was important. That’s good enough for me. What’s up?

Jack: I got something I got to get off my chest. I’ve been carrying around for a while, and I don’t see it going away any time soon.

Nick: Yeah, how can I help?

Jack: You can listen. There was a night not long after the newman media celebration at the hotel. I was talking to phyllis. I had maybe had one too many drinks that night. I don’t do that often anymore, but…I was definitely in a mood.

Nick: What happened?

Jack: I told phyllis that she was still very much in my heart.

Nick: Is that all?

Jack: No, there’s more. I told her that I never stopped loving her. Okay, clearly you’re not that surprised. Has phyllis already told you this?

Nick: She didn’t have to. I mean, I’ve known how you felt for a while now.

Jack: Wow, I’m that transparent?

Nick: You’re an open book. Look, with everything that went down with summer and kyle, you guys are spending a lot of time together, you know? You have this history. It’s only natural that you would be reminded of what you used to have with her.

Jack: Then you’re not bothered by my feelings?

Nick: I mean, I’m not threatened, if that’s what you’re asking. I also know your last relationship was with sally, and I know how that ended, so it’s understandable that you might be a little gun-shy about letting someone new into your life. And there was phyllis. And you had this thing together, and, you know, I’m not saying that she’s safe ’cause we both know she’s not.

Jack: No, she never has been.

Nick: But she’s familiar, so it’s understandable that you would still have feelings for her because she’s —

Both: She’s phyllis.

Nick: And she doesn’t make it easy to forget her. And I know what you guys had was pretty special.

Jack: But it’s no more special than what you had.

Nick: Yeah, I know.

Jack: Some of the best years of my life I spent with her. I’m not — I’m not looking through rose-colored glasses here. We had more than our share of problems.

Nick: Look, jack, it’s totally normal for you to, you know, remember fondly what you guys used to have. I do the same, you know, with sharon. I can reminisce about the good times, think about our mistakes. I mean, those things, they make us who we are today. And when you look back, you can change and grow.

Jack: That’s a very mature way of looking at things.

Nick: Look, my relationship with phyllis is a lot different than it was when we met or even after summer was born. It’s no better or worse, not at all the same, but, you know, that’s okay. You got to evolve, right?

Jack: Yeah, yeah. I couldn’t agree more. Let me ask you something. If you knew exactly how I felt about phyllis, why did you confide in me the other day? Why did you ask me those questions about your relationship with phyllis?

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t have. Maybe I was testing you.

Jack: Did I pass?

Nick: You failed miserably.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: We’re good, man, honestly. I guess the question is, you know, what happens now?

Jack: Nothing. I made it abundantly clear to phyllis, I want to make it just as clear to you — I would never act on those feelings. I never would.

Nick: Okay.

Jack: I guess I just needed to tell her.

Nick: And then you needed to tell me.

Jack: Yes. I felt you had every right to know. You shouldn’t be kept from any of that.

Nick: I mean, I really, really appreciate that, especially since I definitely don’t deserve the same kindness from you.

Jack: Why do you say that? We’ve been through an awful lot, you and I. I was your stepfather. I was your workmate. I was a friend. I… I look back on all of that quite fondly.

Nick: I do too. For sure. But when it comes to phyllis, man, I did you wrong, and that is a guilt that I carry around with me, even today.

Jack: We’ve been through all that. It’s — it’s done.

Nick: I know. Still.

Jack: The heart goes where it wants to go, nick. We can’t control that.

Nick: But you were able to control those feelings you had for phyllis for all those years. Me, I acted on them, you know? I couldn’t help myself.

Jack: What do you say we leave ancient history behind us?

Nick: Cool with me. We’ll chalk it up to just another bump in the road that our friendship survives.

Jack: Yeah, I’m glad we did.

Nick: Yeah. I’m sorry.

Jack: I just said there’s no need for that.

Nick: I’m sorry that you haven’t found a woman that loves you as much as you love phyllis.

Jack: Wow. Lot of people saying that these days. I guess it’s kind of a theme.

Nick: Well, I’m just glad there’s other people who know that you deserve an incredible woman in your life. I know phyllis is a tough act to follow. But I know she’s out there somewhere for you. And I really hope you find her. Did you know diarrhea is often caused by bad bacteria in food?

Phyllis: Hey, baby. I expected you back sooner.

Nick: Yeah, I got caught up at crimson lights.

Phyllis: Oh, with sharon?

Nick: Jack, actually.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yeah, he texted me out of the blue and said he wanted to talk, so I met up with him.

Phyllis: This late?

Nick: Yeah, he had something weighing on his mind.

Phyllis: Well, is everything okay?

Nick: He told me about the conversation he had with you, the one where he told you he never stopped loving you.

Jack: Buongiorno! How’s my timing, kyle? Have I caught you before your workout? Great. How’s harrison?

[ Chuckles ] Excellent. Listen, I won’t keep you long. I just wanted to let you know how much everyone is looking forward to the big weekend in milan. Yeah, everyone. The whole town’s talking about it. Well, I talked to phyllis and nick, your aunt traci, nikki, victor. They’re all pretty excited.

Phyllis: Well, I’m surprised that jack opened up to you like that.

Nick: That’s all you have to say?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, honestly, I’m glad he said something. It was a burden keeping that to myself.

Nick: I mean, why didn’t you just say something? You know, it would’ve been a lot easier for you.

Phyllis: Well, because it was personal to jack, and I didn’t want to — I didn’t want to tell you his personal feelings.

Nick: Yeah, okay.

Phyllis: I mean, he was drinking, so…you know, there’s that. We do and say a lot of things we don’t mean when we’ve had a few.

Nick: Yeah, he did mention that.

Phyllis: Yeah. So I didn’t want to say anything. It has nothing to do with me, really. It has nothing to do with us. It caught me off guard, to be honest with you.

Nick: I know you two have bonded over missing summer and kyle since they moved to italy. Are you sure you didn’t know how he felt?

Phyllis: Yeah. How would I know how he felt?

Nick: I don’t know. I guess I just assumed you understood how unforgettable you are, you know? You’re not somebody that you just get over very easily.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, for sure, I’m not someone you get over easily. I’m glad it’s out in the open.

Nick: Yeah, jack mentioned that he felt badly that he left me in the dark.

Phyllis: Well, that’s nice of him. He’s a gentleman.

Nick: That he is.

Phyllis: This has nothing to do with us. You know that. I mean, this hasn’t changed anything with us. Right?

Nick: No. I mean, I’m — I’m not sure —

Phyllis: You’re not sure? What? We’re solid.

Nick: I know, I know. I just think — that’s all.

Phyllis: Don’t think. Stop thinking.

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Stop thinking. I know how to get you to stop thinking. I know how to make you sure that our relationship is solid, okay?

Nick: Okay.

Phyllis: Okay?

Nick: Okay.

Jack: No, the father of the groom will not be bringing a guest to the wedding. I will be there alone. Don’t you worry about me. I will be surrounded by all the people that matter. There will be a lot of love in milan. Okay, I’ll let you go. Get to your exercise. Give summer my love. Give the little guy a hug from me. Tell him grandpa jack cannot wait to have some gelato with him, and I’ll see you soon. I love you, too. Thanks. See you soon.

Dina: Jackie, you’ll be okay. You’ll find love again. I promise.

Jack: How do you know that?

Dina: You’ll find it because you’re yearning for it. I love you.

Jack: I love you too, mother. [ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

great strategy. Well, it’s all right now, ’cause I’m back. You’re back.

[ Chuckles ] I-I-I-i can’t believe it. And I’m sorry to burden you. Don’T. Don’t apologize. You didn’t stay away on purpose. It’s not your fault. I mean, it’s no one’s fault.

[ Laughs ]

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll go see who that is.

[ Door opens ] It’s you. It’s me. This is your face. I’m here. And your hands.

[ Laughs ] I’m here. I just have one question. What the hell are you wearing?

[ Doorbell rings ] I got a few questions for you about the guys who were blown up outside your wedding. Hey. How you doing? Any word from anna or valentin? Have they found peter? Please, tell me this nightmare is over for maxie and her baby’s sake. Your daughter is an angel. She’s out like a light. I know. I was, um — I was listening. You’re really good with her. She’s cute, right? She’s easy.

[ Chuckles ] Not always. How’d you get to be such a baby whisperer? Comes natural. Seems to. Well, thanks again for putting her down. Keep it up, and I might need you to move back into this house.

[ Door opens ] On second thought, that might get a little awkward. Summer went by so fast. It’s hard to believe that the pool is already closed for the season. I know, right? Good thing we know the owner’s daughter. Have it all to ourselves. That is a perk. Mm-hmm. Wasn’t the wedding beautiful? It really was. You know, I’m so happy that my mom found happiness again, and now we get the rest of the night to enjoy and relax, just us. That sounds perfect.

[ Josslyn and trina chuckle ] Um… cameron. What did you do? There might be one small thing I forgot to mention. This place was very important to my brother. I’m trusting you that you’ll take care of it until it sells. I promise I will do that. And, ava, I really appreciate the responsibility. But…? Are you sure this is the right thing? Leaving town, leaving avery? I mean, there has to be another option. I’ve explored all of the other options, and the only thing I can do to make sure that avery’s safe is to go. So, how about you? How are you holding up? It must be tricky with carly getting remarried. Yeah, it’s a little weird. I mean, I love jason, but… were you invited? Yeah, but I decided not to go, partially out of loyalty to sam, but also because… carly moving on makes my dad’s death feel all the more real. I don’t know where to start. Wherever you want. Nine months of not knowing who I was, and if you had asked me, I would have said that I was happy. But something inside of me, I felt… was missing. So I guess I just got used to it. I didn’t — I didn’t even notice it anymore. And now? For the first time in a long time…I feel — I’m not 100% there, but I’m close. But I do know that what I was missing… …was you and the kids. Us. I always had a connection to my grandfather… I always wanted to learn more about him. I discovered some very interesting documents on ancestry. This is the uh registration card for the draft for world war two. And this is his signature which blew me away. Being able to… make my grandfather real… not just a memory… is priceless. His legacy…lives on. What can I du with less asthma? With dupixent I can du more… yardwork… teamwork… long walks…. that’s how you du more, with dupixent, which helps prevent asthma attacks. Dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. It’s an add-on-treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma that can improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. And can reduce, or even eliminate, oral steroids. And here’s something important. Dupixent can cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have rash, shortness of breath, chest pain, tingling or numbness in your limbs. Tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection, and don’t change or stop your asthma treatments, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. Are you ready to du more with less asthma? Just ask your asthma specialist about d upixent. I brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein. Those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks!

[Sighs wearily] Here, I’ll take that! Woo-hoo!

Ensure max protein.

With thirty grams of protein,

one gram of sugar,

and now with

two new flavors! I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. Now, there’s skyrizi. 3 out of 4 people achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months, after just 2 doses.

Skyrizi may increase your risk

of infections

and lower your ability

to fight them.

Before treatment, your doctor

should check you

for infections

and tuberculosis.

Tell your doctor

if you have an infection

or symptoms such as fever,

sweats, chills, muscle aches,

or coughs

or if you plan to

or recently received

a vaccine. Nothing is everything talk to your dermatologist about skyrizi. Learn how abbvie could help you save. Your father and i certainly had our issues. You think?

[ Both chuckle dryly ] But he sure loved our daughter. Carly loves her, too. And I know that she will take good care of her, which makes leaving avery slightly less unbearable. Oh, I almost forgot. These were left up front for you. Oh. Thank you. I’ve had my mail forwarded here because I’ve been moving around s-so much… lately. Something wrong? No, I… I just thought maybe scott would be so busy with liesl’s disappearance that he wouldn’t get around to these. These being…? My finalized divorce papers. All I have to do is look them over and sign them, bring them to the courthouse, and my marriage will officially be… over. I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. Please tell me that you told spencer not to bring esme. Omg, you didn’t? N-no, but, I mean, I didn’t say anything about esme, so… okay, then maybe he won’t bring her. Are you delusional? In what universe would esme let spencer go anywhere all by himself, let alone to hang out with us? I mean, god, she’s like a human barnacle. Come on, is she really that bad? Yes.Yes. Okay, I’m sorry, alright? I’m sorry. It’s just that last time I spoke with spencer, we had a pretty decent talk the night of his party. I get it. You were trying to be nice. Yeah, and to throw him a bone. You know, it’s a pretty crappy thing when your dad dresses up like a stalker and stabs you. Fake stabs you. Whatever. It is true, spencer has been through a lot. But it’s like, the second you start to feel bad for him, he does something stupid or selfish or entitled, or just plain-out wrong, and then all of that emotion just evaporates. Wow, joss. Tell me how you really feel. I-I didn’t realize you would be here. Yeah, we — we just left my mom’s wedding — guys, stop. This is your house. You don’t need to explain yourselves. Chase just came by to drop off a gift for monica. Yeah, to thank her for her hospitality. That’s nice of you. Yeah, and then, of course, I had to put him to work, have him rock bailey to sleep. I wanted to. I missed her. She missed you. We’l l go down to the gatehouseand give you guys some space. You don’t have to do that. No more eggshells, okay? We’re good. You really mean that? You meant too much to me once. You both did. I haven’t been able to get ahold of valentin or anna, but they did promise that they would let us know if peter was apprehended. Well, that’s probably not good news. I’m sorry, nina. I’m just — I’m actually just glad that you’re still here. What, as opposed to chasing after mike — sonny? I’ve made such a mess, haven’t I? You know, I kept sonny away from his family all this time, and you know carly and michael are not gonna let me see wiley. So where am i supposed to go now? I can’t go to port charles, and I can’t go to nixon falls because of what I did to these people. They were so kind to me, and now they have to pay for my choices. Hi. Nina. I wanted you to know, the tan-o’s gone gone. Jason: Look, dante, there’s something that you need to know. Without diane here? That’s a first. Well, it’s got nothing to do with diane. Okay, so it has nothing to do with the bomb that went off outside the church? No, it’s about something else. Oh. Well, listen, I — here we are again. You know, you’re on this this side, I’m on this side. We’re practically family, but I’m here to investigate a crime, so I’m going to ask you questions, and if diane’s not here to answer them, then I’m not gonna get the answers I’m looking for. Dante, I — so, why don’t we — just — just hear me out, okay? Two people were id’d — the heads of the novak and buscema families. They were dead, found in a car that exploded outside the church where you got married, that they attended. Okay, now, given that they’re both alleged crime family heads, I assume they had a hit out on you and carly and you found out about it first, so you dispatched your own bomb instead. Are you finished? Sure. Because there is something important I need to tell you. I was going after julian on the bridge. The bridge collapsed. I fell into the water, and it was so… so cold. The current was so strong. I had to get to the surface. Thank god you did.

[ Sighs ] So I, uh… woke up in the woods. Oh, you could have froze to death. I was in the snow, and I had a dream about my dad. He came to me. He said… “you’ve got to walk.” He saved my life. I believe that. I believe that. I believe that mike came to you when you needed him the most and he got you up and he got you moving. Remember, I told you about the hiker who found me? He asked me my name. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know where I came from. And I wondered why. Why what? What got me on my feet? What was so important that it was worth living for? And now I know why. You and the kids. This moment. I lived for all of you.

I want the best for both of you. Willow: Thank you, chase. Michael: Yeah, that means a lot. But, uh, I couldn’t help but notice that you used the past tense, that we meant something to you. Just because I’m ready to move on with the rest of my life doesn’t mean we can go back to the way things were. I don’t see how that’s possible. But who knows, you know, maybe in a couple of years, we’ll all be laughing about this. It’s all very “three’s company” when you really think about it. I’m gonna go see if I can find out any more information about peter, okay?

[ Door closes ] I don’t know what to say. Makes two of us. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt anybody. Really? And what do you think sonny’s wife would say about that? I always had this feeling that I wanted to know who I was, and then, you know, time would pass, weeks would pass, and I just got into my new life and I just got distracted, but…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. It’s okay. It’s okay. We don’t need to talk about that right now. There’s plenty of time to examine that. I just want to focus on you being home. My rings. What? What? My ring. I, um… I… it was torture taking these off, and I just never dreamed I’d be putting them back on, you know? Can I do it? Yeah. Perfect fit. We always were. That’s us, right? Imperfectly perfect. I just can’t believe that this is real. It’s just, I mean… kind of hard to believe you and jason are married.

[ Chuckles ] That’s — you know, we can fix that. So, I got other things that I need to do. Well, I think you need to have a drink. Yeah, and I need to see my kids. Yeah. You coming? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I’ll have diane come here. She can meet us at the pcpd. Great. We can talk for hours about what did or what didn’t happen to novak or buscema, but right now, I just need you to sit down. Why? What’s going on? Your dad’s here. What?

well, it’s getting late. I suppose these’ll have to wait till morning. Mm, the courthouse is still open for another 20 minutes or so. Hardly enough time to review them. What? Just wondering if you’re having second thoughts. About divorcing nikolas?

[ Laughs ] 2nd, 3rd, 27th thoughts about that, but then I come back to the first one. Terror. Terror that my daughter will be hurt if I don’t do exactly what the stalker wants. Is this going to be another lecture on my many faults? I don’t know. Did it land the first time? Trina. I was such an ass, and I am really sorry. I completely took advantage of you, and it was, as josslyn said, a really selfish, entitled, just plain wrong thing to do. It’s fine. Apology accepted. I mean it, trina. I’m not just saying this because I’m scared joss will push me in the pool or something. Mm-hmm. I’m saying it because I think you’re awesome and I feel horrible about what I did to you — lying to you, making you lie for me. It was — plain wrong? Stupid. Selfish. Yeah. Can you forgive me? Maybe, in the next century or so, I might possibly be willing to think about it. So you’re saying there’s a chance?

[ Esme sighs loudly ] The valet took forever to come back with my phone. They must park the cars on neptune. So, what’d I miss? Carly was really cruel to me one day, and that was the day that I decided not to tell her that sonny was alive. And what about all the other days? Yeah, I get it. I actually didn’t know what I was gonna do. There wasn’t a day that went by that I didn’t want to tell him the truth. But then… sonny became mike for me, and he was so happy there. See, being in nixon falls was the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me. I got to spend this precious time with you and lenny. But also, I fell in love with mike. Hey, so, I got to go. Is everything okay? My mom texted. She told me I need to find joss and get to the house right away. What’s going on? She says it’s good news, but it’s still kind of strange. I don’t know. Hey, kiss wiley good night for me? Yeah, of course. Okay. Bye. Alright.

[ Door closes ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Brook lynn: Oh, excuse me. Ugh. I have to take this. It’s that pain in the neck, gladys. Sorry.

[ Fake cheerful ] Gladys, doll, how are you? How are you standing here right now? It’s a long, convoluted story, but can i tell you about it? No, look, look. Wait, wait, wait. I want to hear about it, i do want to hear about it, but I… I just want to tell you something first. I, uh… I recently had a conversation with jason about you and about the role you played in my life and how there were a bunch of things I didn’t get a chance to tell you, and I regretted it, and then, now, it looks like I get the chance to say something to you, and I’m grateful for that. Well… “grateful” seems to be the word of the night. I love you, dad. And I’m glad that you’re my father. Okay? It’s important for me that you know that. Okay. I know we’ve had A… well, it hasn’t been easy, you know? We’ve had a lot of ups and downs, and that’s bound to happen when you got people standing for different things, but always underneath, through it all, it’s been a lot of love and a lot of respect. I want you to know that. I missed you every day, dad. And whatever happens, whatever fight that we get into over your alleged this or that, okay, it doesn’t — I’m gonna remember this moment, and I’m — I’M… not gonna back down from you, and I’m not gonna forget how much I love you and how happy I am that you’re back. Hey. I’m not gonna forget, either. I know this seems… you don’t know what I’ve been through. No, I don’T. And we don’t have to get into that right now, at all. It’s a gift. We have to see this as a gift. You know what that gift is? That I get to stand here, in front of my son… …and tell you what you mean to me. I love you, too, son. I love you.

[Mallet banging]

[Drums banging]

[Inhales]

[Exhales]

[Mallet banging]

[Drums banging]

[Inhales] Since when do you care if nikolas and I stay married? My family has had issues with both you and my cousin over the years, but I’m not blind, ava. Nikolas crawled himself out of a dark place, and it’s pretty obvious it was because of you. The way I see it, you’ve made each other better. We do. We did — did.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Uh, I’m — I’m sorry, but I have to take off. Is everything okay? Yeah, carly just texted, and she said I needed to get to the house right away. I don’t think anything’s wrong, but it sounds important. Okay. Go, go. Good luck. Thank you. So, today was the big day, right? Your mother married that, um… enforcer guy? His name’s jason, and he’s not an enforcer anymore. No, he’s the big gun now.

[ Chuckles ] See what I did there? Clever. So, how do you feel about getting a new stepfather? Is that, um…awkward? No, it’s actually super great. I don’t know how you do it, josslyn. Which part? All those bodyguards and people staring at you all the time. Must feel like you live in a fishbowl. Sometimes. But the positives far outweigh the negatives. How so? Well, if someone really pisses me off, they’ll just disappear. Disappear? Yeah, you know, I get home, someone asks me, “how are things?” And I say, “well, you know, I kind of had a rough day because of…” fill in the blank. They’ll just vanish. Poof! Hmm. Into thin air.

[ Chuckles ] Come on, joss. No one’s actually vanished because you didn’t like them. Not yet. But there’s a first time for everything.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I have to go. Wait, what? Why? I’m so sorry. Michael’s downstairs to pick me up and take me to our mom’S. It’s kind of urgent. I hope she’s okay. Yeah, me, too. Hey, do you want me to come with you? Um, no. No, stay. I’ll let you know if it’s anything serious. Guys, come on. Can we get this party started now, or what? So, how was the wedding? It was really nice, actually. Yeah, the flowers were gorgeous. Maxie outdid herself. Your recovery is going well, I take it? Yeah, I actually managed to go camping. For someone who was recently in a wheelchair, impressive. That’s — that’s a big deal. Yeah. I’ll be back on the force soon. That’s great, chase. But I need to get something off my chest. Okay. And I feel ashamed about it. About what? Um… how I took advantage of the quartermaines’ hospitality by poking around for that document for austin. I mean, that’s not who I am or who I want to be, and, god, I just feel really lousy about it. Look, it’s safe to say that this was an extreme situation and none of our finest hours. The good news is we got through it, and… we’re all coming out the other side. I’m trying. You’re doing better than that. Look at you. You’re on your feet, about to go back to work. As sorry as I am about the way it ended, I don’t regret loving you, chase. And I’m happy for you as you go on with your life. I’m happy for you, too.

[ Sighs ] Come in, come in. Hey. I picked up josslyn like you asked. Mom, what’s going on?

[ Door closes ] Um… it’s something really good. What? O-okay. But you haven’t told us what it is, so we’re still nervous. Come inside, you’re — you’re gonna get the best surprise. Oh, my god. Dad? Good to see you, son. Oh, my god, dad. It’s not an excuse, because there are none, but when I look at my life, and it’s such a pattern. What is? I am deathly afraid of being abandoned by the people that I love and that love me. But either I turn a blind eye or I go to extremes, and that’s something I need to look at. At least, I’ll try to look at, but… what I can’t make peace with is… how much I took from you and lenny, and I don’t know how to make that right. You can’T.

So, josslyn is certainly… how do I put it? Amazing? Forceful. Always has been and always will be. Joss knew her mind when we were kids, and she knows her mind now. I always figured you guys would get together. Yeah, well, it was just a matter of me playing hard to get. Oh, my gosh, you’re so full of it. He was a goner for joss from the start. Speaking of joss, you think we can drop her name at the restaurant, get something to eat? Well,

i might be able to. You, on the other hand, don’t stand a chance. Please, I can feel my blood sugar plummeting. Well, we can’t have that, can we? Any requests? I like the caprese. Tuna tartare or miso cod. Alrighty, well, I’ll see what I can do. Good. This’ll give us a chance to chat. Even I can see the person you were lying to the most is yourself. Yeah. I latched on to this belief that not telling sonny the truth was in his best interest, because that was the only thing I’d let myself believe, ’cause it had already been so long. I mean, my god, a week would have been too long. But how could I explain two, three, eight months? There’s no explanation for that. So here I am, standing here, knowing what I did was wrong and having no idea how to fix it. What do I do? We can’t undo the mistakes we’ve made in the past, nina. But we can move forward. How do I do that? How do I move forward? By owning up to what you did and facing the consequences. Is this actually happening right now? It is. I know, I can’t believe it, either, but he’s back. He’s back. This is incredible.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get this one. Kristina, hey. Hey. Come on in. Uh, I got a random text from carly? Yeah, yeah. There’s — there’s something you need to see. Yeah, that was cryptic. Dad? Kristina.

[ Voice breaking ] Oh, my god.

[ Crying ] It’s all right. It’s — oh, my god. We thought — hey, hey. Oh, my god. Kristina — I missed you so much! It’s okay. Listen to me. Listen to me.

[ Sobs ] I missed you, too.

[ Sniffles ] It’s okay. It’s okay. You’re gonna be so glad I’m here, okay? Okay? This is just typical. I’m making a total fool out of myself. Oh, no. Carly: Oh, no, you’re not.

[ Laughing ]

[ Crying ] This is amazing. You want to know what amazing is? That I’m here with my whole family. That, to me, means everything. You know that? Right?

Take care of yourself, okay? Only if you do the same. Deal. I swear, you guys should have halos around your head. What do you mean? You guys are just so civil. I mean, had something like this happened to someone on my mom’s side? Oh, forget about it. Prison and/or murder would be the least of it. Is everything okay with work? Oh, yeah. I just let gladys drone on and on and on. She had another brainstorm. Anyways, I checked on bailey, and she is sleeping sound, with yuri keeping watch.

[ Cellphone rings ] He assured me that the house is secure.

[ Sighs ] The pcpd still hasn’t spotted peter. Okay, well, maybe he’s still in pennsylvania. Fingers crossed. Would you be comfortable leaving the house for a few hours? I don’t know. Why? Let me take you out for a beer. Oh. Or whichever libation your heart desires. Okay. That’s an offer I can’t refuse. These’ll keep till morning. I’m just wondering how much you know. About? What josslyn said to spence behind your back. I mean, I’m sure she was just defending you, but she was completely misinterpreting what happened.

[ Chuckles ] She even implied that spence led you on, which is obviously ridiculous. We worked it all out. You did? Yeah, spencer and I talked, and we’re all good. Same thing with joss. Sure, she can be overprotective, but that’s what best friends do. We look out for each other. I can tell. You and joss are a team, just like spence and me.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Excuse me, I need to use the ladies’ room. Okay, I lied because I didn’t want my father to know I was back in port charles. Why not? For three years, he let me believe he was dead. When he resurfaced, I didn’t take it well. And when he married ava, I didn’t take that well, either. I just want you to know… that you’re not alone, and I’m here if you need me. Actually, I was starting to think that… if you go with me, I might actually be able to face my father. Esme: Not so fast. Just where do you think you’re going without me? Trina and ava got close when they worked together. She’s trina’s mentor. And I’m sure you were like a daughter to her after kiki passed away. You mean lauren? I’m sorry? That’s what you called kiki the other day. Oh, right. Her, uh, given name. And the name on her hospital id badge. You know, the one they found near ava’s car after it was burned to a crisp. Hell yes, you and spence are a team. Sorry. Dr. Green wants to see you. Phyllis, I know I-I don’t deserve any of this, but thank you.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Door closes ] No news on peter. You’re very — you’re very sweet. We both know that you left so I could have some time with phyllis. Did it help? I don’t think anything’s gonna help until I confront this disaster, but phyllis has a way of making things clear, and she’s right. I can’t undo the past, jax. I just have to face it and move forward. Okay, sounds like a plan. Hey, uh, you need some help over there? Michael: I got it. It doesn’t look like you do. Here. Hand it over. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. How do you know how to open champagne? Uh, youtube? Uh, I don’t know, mom. I’m gonna get you a bottle of sparkling cider. Okay. I’m gonna head home. Let me walk you out. No, man.

[ Champagne bottle pops ] Stay with your family. You know what? I want — I want to thank you for looking out for my family. I mean, I don’t know how I’m ever gonna repay you. Um, you’ve repaid me a million times. Let’s face it, carly’s the one who held everything together. Oh, I doubt that. I did the best I could, but I could never be you. Welcome home, man.

[ Laughter ] Thank you.

[ Laughing ] Hey!

[ Glasses clinking, champagne pouring ] Kristina: Dad, here’s a glass. Come on. Sonny: Hey.

[ Laughter, glasses clink ] Okay, dad, I have to ask — what is up with that shirt? Oh, yeah, flannel. Really? You don’t like my look? No. No.No. It’s just not you. You guys are a tough crowd.

[ Laughter ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gabi: Okay, do your thing.

Jake: Something smells good.

Gabi: Oh, tamales. I have one batch in here. Try this.

Jake: Ooh. That is good!

Gabi: That’s my mom’s recipe.

Jake: Mmm! Is that why you came home early?

Gabi: You know, I am sick and tired of ava’s italian food. Tonight, we’re gonna have a fiesta mexicana.

Jake: Oh, okay. Well, it’s gonna be a real celebration because I just got some good news.

Gabi: I love good news.

Jake: Well, while we’re sitting here tasting tamales, somebody is paying a visit to his grandfather.

Brady: So why were there four big black sedans peeling out of the driveway like they were in some stock car race or something?

Victor: I had a few of my boys over for a celebratory luncheon.

>>Yodn’tme.

Victoell, I figured you were spending all your lunch time with ej dimera these days.

Brady: [Imitating ej] How dare you say that to me?

[In normal voice] What are you guys celebrating?

Victor: What do you think? Bonnie lockhart out of this house and into the slammer where she belongs. One down, one to go.

Brady: Chloe?

Victor: Chloe.

Brady: Grandad, you’re gonna have a harder time than you think getting rid of her.

Victor: And how do you know that? Is she confiding in you now that you’re both working for the enemy?

Philip: Knock knock.

Chloe: Hey, if you came to check up on me, brady’s not here.

Philip: Do I look like I came to check up on you?

Chloe: Well, at this point, it’s kind of a foregone conclusion.

Philip: Okay. I know I’ve had brady on the brain, but I’m not here to see if he’s around.

Chloe: Mm, right.

Philip: It’s true. I’m here to take you away from all of this.

Xander: Oh, come on. Come on, justin. Don’t give me that. You’re bonnie’s lawyer. Just make her sign something that says that the million that she stole belonged to me. Well, then talk the D.A into giving it back to its rightful owner. What do you mean I’ll have to wait? Justin, I am flat broke and living on credit. If I don’t get that money soon, the cops are gonna come bang–

[Knock at door] On the door.

Abigail: Hello, gwen.

Gwen: Abigail? Nobody told me that you were back.

Abigail: No one knows. Well, I mean, you do now.

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

[Soft orchestration]

 

Gwen: So… when did you get in?

Abigail: This morning.

Gwen: If you’re looking for jack, he’s not here. Abigail: Actually, I came to talk to you.

[Knock at door]

Jack: Xander? It’s jack. Are you in there?

[Phone beeps]

Xander: Jack. Sorry, I thought you were the front desk. I’m a bit behind on the rent this month.

Jack: You’re looking pretty stiff.

Xander: Never could fool you.

Jack: Don’t tell me the inn started sending hired muscle to collect.

Xander: No, I just fell off my skateboard. I’m surprised to see you.

Jack: I’ve come to say I’m sorry.

Gabi: Do you think brady’s gone to see victor to get him to dump phillip?

Jake: We can only hope.

Gabi: How do you know where brady is? You’re having him followed?

Jake: Let’s just say I’m keeping tabs on the situation.

Gabi: How?

Jake: You don’t need to know.

Gabi: What am I, the little woman?

Jake: Well, you are a woman who has a reputation for causing trouble. So, let’s just say I’m looking out for you.

Gabi: All right, I guess I get that. Just have to fantasize about victor getting an earful about phillip’s failings.

Jake: He will.

Gabi: Can you believe brady and philip are fighting over chloe? It’s only a matter of time before phillip is out and you and i are running titan industries.

Jake: Hmm.

>>Ava: Ugh! Do you have to do that in the kitchen? Get a room, why don’t you? I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Gabi: Get a room? This is my house. I can kiss jake anywhere I want.

>>Ava: There is a little thing called common courtesy.

Gabi: Oh, where did you learn courtesy? Was it from cousin angelo or some other mob relative?

>>Ava: I live here too.

Gabi: Until rafe gets wise enough to kick you to the curb.

>>Ava: Rafe isn’t gonna kick me anywhere, no matter how much you have tried to change his mind. You see, I can offer him something that you, little sister, never can.

Brady: My company is run by dimera enterprises.

Victor: Yeah, don’t remind me.

Brady: But nicole and i run basic black as we see fit.

Victor: And you saw fit to hire xander?

Brady: No.

Victor: Listen, I know you’re crazy about the guy, nicole too. But whose choice was he? His lawyer maybe, ej dimera?

Brady: Okay, okay. Look, I didn’t come here to talk about my business decisions with you.

Victor: No, just remember there’s always a place for you at titan.

Brady: Thank you for that. I appreciate that.

Victor: That place won’t be in the ceo’s office. That’s taken up by your uncle phillip. And I must say he’s doing an excellent job.

Brady: Well, philip and the excellent job he’s doing is precisely why I’m here.

Chloe: Well, the last thing I expected when I saw you in the doorway of my office was for you to whisk me off for a romantic picnic.

Philip: Then I haven’t been doing things right, but that’s gonna change.

Chloe: Oh.

Philip: Do you remember this place?

Chloe: Of course, I do. We used to come here all the time in high school. I remember how cute you looked when you were driving your little car. I remember screaming about how much I loved being a kid. And I loved having my first boyfriend especially someone like you. Yeah. Gosh, I remember feeling so happy and so free, you know.

Philip: Me too. And we pulled up over here.

Chloe: Oh, and you remember we carved our initials into that tree.

Philip: Not an original thought.

Chloe: But a wonderful thought.

Philip: It was right over there.

Chloe: Yeah. That’s where it used to be. And then you chopped it down.

Gwen: I don’t know why you’d want to come and see me.

Abigail: I have something that I’d like to say. I still feel very responsible for the fact that you lost your baby.

Gwen: All right, I’m listening.

Abigail: I just have had a lot of time to think over the course of the last few months. And you pushed me to my limit. You did. But I’m not proud of the way that I reacted.

Gwen: How so?

Abigail: You know, when you came and you told me that you had slept with chad, I was obviously very hurt and very angry. And so, I pushed chad away and I became someone that I didn’t know, or even really like very much, you know? And then you told me that you were pregnant and I hit rock bottom. The only thing I could think about was the fact that I did not want you to have that baby.

Gwen: I remember. You were ready to tie me up and deliver me to the abortion clinic.

Abigail: I didn’t see your baby as a person then. I just saw her as a symbol of all of the things that chad had done to me. So, on the day that you fell, you know, you came into the bedroom and you’re looking for him. And all that I could see was just a lifetime of you and your baby taking him away from me and my kids. So, I followed you to the top of the stairs because in that moment, stopping you from finding him was all that mattered. And I didn’t care what happened to you and your baby. And I’m really ashamed of feeling that way. Your baby was a human being. It was a child that you wanted to have, that you are likely still grieving for. And regardless of our history… you deserved a chance to be her mother. You did not deserve to suffer all of the pain. And so, I came here today to tell you, mother to mother, I am so deeply sorry.

[Crying]

Xander: You’re saying sorry to me?

Jack: Gwen told me the truth.

Xander: Did she?

Jack: She said that the story that you gave me about you pressuring her to deliver drugs was something that you made up to cover for her. Well, that’s one of the most honorable self-sacrificing things that I have ever encountered.

Xander: Oh, come on, jack, dial it down.

Jack: That’s just the truth. I am ashamed of the vicious things I said to you. I’m sorry about the op-ed piece that I wrote. The spectator will print a retraction–

Xander: No, just stop. You gotta stop beating yourself up. I can be very convincing when I wanna be.

Jack: I hope you can forgive me.

Xander: Forgive you? You’re my mate. And you should know getting tossed out of people’s houses, that has happened to me before. I just knew what you mean to gwen; I really wanted her to stay in your good graces. I was afraid that, you know, if you knew the truth, about what she did, you’d never able to get past it.

Jack: Gwen told me everything.

Xander: Really?

Jack: And I told her, I understand. Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

>>Ava: You went out of your way to make me suspicious and jealous of rafe and nicole, and then you didn’t stop there. Rafe told me that you purposely steered nicole in his direction.

Gabi: If you and my brother are as devoted as you claim to be, nothing I said should have mattered.

>>Ava: Did you not get this out of your system in high school? I mean, what is it with you? What do you have against me?

Gabi: For one thing, I know how you treat people like steve and kayla.

>>Ava: I am not that woman anymore.

Gabi: You know, my brother is one of the most decent people on this planet. He can do way better than you.

>>Ava: And you can do so much better than being with a woman who tries to give julie williams a heart attack by messing with her pacemaker and conned your brother, chad, into making him believe his wife should be in a–

Gabi: You know what– you did your homework, didn’t you?

Jake: I know all about gabi. She’s not that woman anymore either.

>>Ava: Oh, okay. Well, if you’re so forgiving then, how come you ended things with kate? At least she had some class.

Victor: You wanna talk to me about philip?

Brady: Look, I know better than to try to tell you how to run your business. But you should know that phillip’s focus is not on titan anymore.

Victor: Oh, what’s it on?

Brady: Me. Actually, he can’t stand the fact that chloe and I are working together and it’s driving him nuts. He’s obsessed.

Victor: Obsessed how?

Brady: I’ll give you the most recent example. Chloe and I, we had a meeting in new york. We were on our way. Corporate jet had engine trouble and we had to make a forced landing.

Victor: The dimeras can’t even maintain their own jet?

Brady: We had to spend the night in wilkes-barre. When philip found out, he got so jealous that he commandeered the titan jet, tracked us down in the middle of nowhere.

Victor: Well, he was worried about you. You are still family.

Brady: Grandad, he doesn’t care about me. He wanted to catch chloe and me in the sack.

Victor: Are you and that tramp still–

Brady: No, but philip is convinced that there’s something going on between us. Grandad, you know his history; you know he gets jealous and he gets crazy with all of that.

Victor: Over chloe lane?

Brady: You didn’t see that coming?

Victor: All I know I should never let him move that tramp into this house.

Brady: Well, all he is thinking about right now is chloe and it’s only a matter of time before that affects the business. He’s spending more time in my office than his own.

Victor: That’s a situation that’s about to change.

Philip: I saw you with brady. I heard you two talking about how you slept together. I had to face that things were over for you and me. So, I grabbed an ax, I went to our tree and I chopped it down. Can you believe I did that? I wasn’t even thinking. I was just seeing you and brady in bed together.

Chloe: Well, I kind of feel like you still feel that way.

Philip: Yeah. I made an ass of myself in pennsylvania. You must have felt like it was history repeating itself.

>>Chole: You know, I was kind of surprised why you’d even invite me here today, you know?

Philip: I did that because of the history. Which is almost ancient history.

Chloe: Well, we’re not that old yet.

>>Philp: I’m still young enough to change my ways, chloe. I can fix my old mistakes.

Chloe: Oh, yeah? How are you gonna do that?

Xander: You know the truth about gwen and you have no problem with it? Jack, I have to say that is very big of you.

Jack: No matter what gwen’s done, she’s still my daughter. And since she’s been living with me, I’ve come to understand her and love her. You really thought that I’d judge her for something in the past?

Xander: Well, you say you love gwen, I believe you, but abigail’s been your daughter her whole life. You must love her more. And now that you know what gwen did–

Jack: I don’t understand. What does abigail have to do with gwen being a prostitute?

Gwen: Thank you for your apology, abigail.

Abigail: Of course.

Gwen: I actually have to apologize to you about something as well.

[Sighs] I was so furious when I lost the baby. I blamed you for my miscarriage. I understand now, though, you did not consciously try to hurt me or the baby. Which is why I have to tell you something that you don’t know. And I think when you hear what I have to say, you will realize that you don’t have a need to be sorry.

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Xander: So, gwen told you she was a prostitute?

Jack: It was a long time ago, before she met jake. I hope you’ll keep that to yourself.

Gwen: Okay, if you don’t like my idea, what’s your clever idea then?

Xander: I’ve got it. Tell him you used to be a hooker. Tell jack that snyder was one of your clients. I can’t believe this.

Jack: I thought you knew. I thought that’s why you were covering for it because you were afraid that I might cut off my relationship with her if I found out.

Xander: Yeah. I mean, well, jack, it’s just that when she and I discussed it, she always used the term escort.

Jack: I don’t see what any of this has to do with abigail.

Xander: Well, you know, gwen’s always comparing herself to abigail or, you know, calling her the good daughter. And she was just so sure that if you found out the truth then gwen would always be, in your eyes, the bad daughter, so.

Jack: Oh, I see. For a minute there, I thought you were trying to tell me that abigail had been a prostitute too.

Xander: No, nothing like that.

Jack: But for the record, I’ve always made it a policy not to show favoritism to abigail or jj. And I’ve included gwen in that too. They’re all equal in my eyes.

Xander: I know you’re a loving father, jack, and the good news is now gwen knows it too.

Abigail: Why shouldn’t i be sorry?

Gwen: Well…

[Sighs] Because I spent weeks telling everybody that you pushed me down the stairs and you and i both know that that’s not true. I lost my balance and I fell. Jack knows that, I told him.

Abigail: And dad told chad and chad told me.

Gwen: Oh.

Abigail: I do appreciate you saying it though. It means a lot. And although I didn’t push you, I could have told you where chad was at and left it at that. Had I not followed you to the top of the stairs and grabbed your arm, you’d probably be nine months pregnant right now. But instead, we have to live with the consequences of that day for the rest of our lives.

Gwen: I know how much it’s taken for you to come here today, I do. I’m really sorry that you have to live with all that guilt. I know what a heavy burden guilt can be.

Gabi: I don’t have enough class for you, mafia princess?

>>Ava: Your brother knows my history and how hard I’ve worked to put it behind me for the sake of my son. And we’re stronger than ever.

Gabi: Really? When was it that I walked in on you accusing rafe of wanting to sleep with nicole? Was that– yeah, two, three days ago.

>>Ava: I’m a passionate person. I lost my temper. I lashed out, I shouldn’t have. But the important thing here, gabi, is that rafe understood. We worked everything out.

Gabi: Until the next time that you lash out, which you and I both know you will. It’s not like nicole moved to timbuktu.

>>Ava: You know, speaking of time, I mean, rafe did say that the two of you were only here temporarily. So, if you’ve got such a big problem with rafe and me being together, why don’t the two of you find someplace else to live?

Chloe: Oh, my. Oh, okay, let me guess. You are giving up corporate life to become a gardener?

Philip: Are you laughing at my symbolic gesture?

Chloe: And what exactly does it symbolize?

Philip: Me. Fixing the mistakes of my youth.

Chloe: With the tree? Okay, where exactly did you find that tree?

Philip: I got it at the garden center. It was in my trunk. I thought we could plant it today in the same spot as our old tree.

Chloe: Seriously, you want me to help you dig a hole in this dress?

Philip: Come on, give me a break.

Chloe: I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Philip: I know I can’t erase the mistakes of the past, but I’m hoping that it can be the start of a new, better beginning for us.

Brady: What situation is about to change? Are you thinking about removing philip as ceo?

Victor: No, of course not. Problem is chloe lane as I always knew it would be. There’s only one way to get phillip’s head back into the business.

Brady: How would that be?

Victor: Remove chloe lane from the equation. Simple as that.

Brady: What do you mean, kick her out of here?

Victor: No, I won’t have to, not once you steal her away from philip.

 

Gabi: Did you hear that? The lady of the house would like us to move out.

Jake: I did hear that.

Gabi: You know what?

Jake: What?

Gabi: I’m pretty much over this bitch’s crap.

Jake: I can see that.

Gabi: You know what? All right, let’s start packing.

Jake: What, now?

Gabi: Yes, right now. We are leaving right now. Come on, let’s go. What, are you not gonna come?

Jake: Well, yeah. What about the tamales?

Brady: I thought I just heard you tell me to go after chloe?

Victor: Right. From what you say, phillip won’t give up on that tramp by himself. But if you go in, sweep her off her feet, he’ll have no choice other than to go back to work.

Brady: You seriously want me to make a play for chloe?

Victor: You’re repeating yourself.

Brady: It’s understandable, given the vitriol that you’ve been spewing about chloe over the past 20 years. I mean, you hate her.

Victor: Of course I do.

Brady: Yet you want me to go, what did you say, sweep her off her feet?

Victor: No, I don’t want it. But if you’re occupied with chloe, you’re not likely to make another stab at that mental case.

Brady: All right. This conversation is going in a place that I didn’t mean it to, all right?

Victor: You gotta learn to roll with the punches, boy. Now I want you to go out, find chloe and seduce her until she cracks.

Philip: I think this tree is going to be magnificent one day.

Chloe: I think so, too. Now, did you happen to bring any hand wipes or anything?

Philip: Come on, this is a major moment. Someday we can carve our initials into this tree.

Chloe: Yeah, if our arthritis isn’t too bad by then. Come on, do you know how many years it’s gonna take for this tree to be big enough for us to carve anything into it?

Philip: I know, I know. But that’s another reason I wanted to plant it. I wanted to show you how much faith I have in us. We’re gonna be together a long, long time.

Gwen: I know I’ve given you good reason to despise me. And I do know that you did not intentionally try to hurt me or my baby. Abigail, I sincerely hope that you and chad can just move past all of this.

Abigail: Thank you. And thank you for accepting my apology.

Gwen: Of course. It’d be rather awkward if I held a grudge now, wouldn’t it? Since you’re back, I’m sure we’ll be seeing a certain amount of one another, family gatherings and such.

Abigail: Yeah, yeah. Right, yeah. I’m just glad everything’s out in the open. I can’t stand letting things just fester.

Gwen: Yeah, of course. Absolutely.

Abigail: Well, I’ll be going.

Xander: I’m just so glad you get why I thought I had to cover for gwen. I really hated being on the outs with you, jack.

Jack: That’s over. I’m impressed that you didn’t hesitate when you thought I might turn my back on her, even though you must have known that would mean the end of the friendship between us.

Xander: Well, she would’ve lost her dad and that’s more important.

Jack: I really let you have it and you took it on the chin. Makes me wonder why you put up with all that for gwen’s sake.

Xander: Oh, you know, I got to know her a little bit when we lived under your roof.

Jack: I just have to say there seems to be something between you that’s a little bit more than casual friendship.

Xander: What are you getting at, jack?

Jack: As a protective father, I have to ask you, what are your intentions toward my daughter? Did you know faded, dingy, and rough fabrics

Xander: My intentions?

Jack: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say it that way. I just wondered, are you interested in gwen?

Xander: Well, I mean–

[Knock at door] It’s the front desk.

Gwen: Xander, are you here? My god, you look awful.

Xander: No, I’m fine. Come in.

Gwen: Hi. You’re limping. Why are you limping? Jack, I didn’t expect to see you here.

Jack: It’s all right. I came here to apologize to xander for the way I treated him and he was gracious enough to accept my apology.

Xander: Me, gracious, first time for that.

Gwen: I’m glad for you. I just–I wanted–

Jack: You know, I’m thinking I should be going.

Gwen: You don’t have to go, really you don’T.

Jack: No, I think I do.

Xander: I almost mucked up your whole life just then.

Gabi: You’re gonna spoil your dinner.

Jake: What dinner? You left the tamales when you stomped out. Here, you want one?

Gabi: No, thank you.

Jake: Gabi, it’s not the bakery’s fault that it’s occupying the space you wanted for your store.

Gabi: All right.

Jake: How very mature of you.

Gabi: Now, I’m not gonna get in your face about what you– whatever you use to track down brady. These are really good.

Jake: Right? So where do you figure we’re gonna get our next meal from? You know, since we’re homeless, I mean. Unless you getting in ava’s face, calling her bitch and us moving out was not just a knee jerk reaction, but part of a master plan.

Gabi: Well, I hate to disappoint, but knee jerk kinda sums it up. I have had it up to here with ms. Vitali. I’m sure we’ll think of something.

Jake: Well, can’t imagine we’re gonna find a place by tonight. So why don’t we take a room at the salem inn?

Gabi: No, are you kidding me? Like everybody in this town? If you wanna be rubbing shoulders with every misfit in salem, that’s you, but not me. Besides, I think I just got an idea.

Jake: Oh.

Gabi: How do you know where brady is? You’re having him followed?

Jake: I’ll just say I’m keeping tabs on the situation.

Gabi: How?

Jake: You don’t need to know.

Gabi: What am I, the little woman?

Jake: You are a woman, who has a reputation for stirring up trouble. So, let’s just say, I’m trying out for look for you.

Gabi: I guess I get that. I’ll just fantasize about victor getting an earful about phillip’s failings.

Jake: And he will.

Gabi: I just can’t believe brady and phillip are fighting over chloe. It’s only a matter of time before phillip is out and you and i are running titan industries.

Chloe: I cannot believe I ate that huge sandwich by myself.

Philip: You worked up an appetite doing manual labor. And you did it in heels no less.

Chloe: Yeah, well, these heels will be seeing the inside of a second-hand store at this point. But the sacrifice was worth it.

Philip: You really think so?

Chloe: I do.

Philip: I could take you to a shoe store on the way home. I will patiently wait until you find another pair.

Chloe: Really, you would do that for me?

Philip: I would do that for you. I would do anything for you, you know that.

[Phone beeps]

Chloe: Problem?

Philip: Maybe. Something I have to deal with now. Damn, you mind taking a rain check on those shoes?

Chloe: Yeah, no problem. Good thing we took separate cars. Thank you for this. Thank you for today. I will see you at home.

Philip: All right.

Xander: I mean, you could have told me you decided to go with the prostitute story. I almost outed you.

Gwen: Well, thank god you bloody didn’T. Sorry, sorry.

Xander: You said you were gonna tell him the truth.

Gwen: I was. I was gonna say all of it, but then I imagined what his reaction would be and I just–I couldn’t do it. So, I had to think really fast and I used your idea. He was so understanding.

Xander: I told you it was a good story.

Gwen: No, I wouldn’t go as far as to say that. At least, I’m still on good terms with him.

Xander: Well, and you told him that I was covering for you when I said all that about, you know, working with snyder. So, I’m back on good terms with him again too. So now we both know where we stand with jack. The only question is where do we stand with each other?

Victor: So, do we have a deal? Don’t just stand there, are we gonna try and take chloe away from philip or not?

[Footsteps approaching]

Chloe: Yeah, I’d like to know the answer to that question myself.

Carter: Yeah, but your

[ Upbeat music ]

Quinn: Still feels so wrong.

Carter: Yeah, but your husband wants this for you. More importantly… we want this.

Brooke: Quinn and carter. I still can’t believe it. He was done with her, katie. He had the divorce papers right in front of him.

Katie: And he still hasn’t said why he changed his mind?

Brooke: He refuses to talk about it. He says that everything is fine.

Katie: Well, he’s never wanted to burden anyone with his problemS.

Brooke: Especially when it involves quinn. I still can’t believe what that woman’s done to him.

Katie: It would have broken your heart to hear him talk yesterday. This vibrant, confident man, doubting whether he was good enough for quinn. I mean, she’s never gonna be worthy of him. You know what, I’m gonna go see him again.

Brooke: Well, if his cheating wife can’t be there for him, at least somebody should be, right?

Katie: Oh, hi!

Ridge: Oh, hi, katie. What’s that? She late for a meeting or something?

Brooke: She’s going to see your dad. We’re not the only ones who noticed a change in your father. She’s determined to do something about it.

Brooke: Katie stopped by eric’s house last night after we left and guess what? Quinn still wasn’t back.

Ridge: How long was she out?

Brooke: I don’t know. She could have been out all night.

Ridge: No. Dad wouldn’t allow that.

Brooke: I really don’t know about that. I feel like quinn could do whatever she wants and eric would justify it somehow. It’s just not like him.

Ridge: None of this is like him. He doesn’t show up in the office anymore. He’s just holed up in that house.

Brooke: All by himself. But that makes sense when he broke up with quinn because he was upset about it, but now that he’s back with her, he just seems–

Ridge: Just seems lost. Right? Troubled.

Brooke: And he shouldn’t be. Not if he’s as happy with quinn as he wants us to believe.

Ridge: Something is wrong. But I can’t get him to open up.

Brooke: Maybe katie can.

[ Eric sighing ]

[ Door opening ]

Katie: Eric?

Eric: Katie. Hi. Come in.

Katie: Uh, I hope you don’t mind me stopping by like this again.

Eric: Not at all. It’s my pleasure. Always glad to have a visit from my favorite next door neighbor.

Katie: If you’re spending the afternoon with quinn, I don’t have to stay.

Eric: No, she’s not here.

Katie: Oh.

Eric: That all you’re gonna say?

Katie: Well, I don’t want you to think I stopped by to badmouth quinn.

Eric: No. Why would I ever think that? No, of course not. Obviously you’ve stopped by to check on me.

Katie: Is that so obvious?

Eric: Yes. And also that you’re caring about me. Thank you very much. I’m having a productive day working at home. That’s what I’m doing.

Katie: If quinn isn’t here then where is she? Rich chocolate candy and creamy caramel. That’s how you rolo. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint, enter york mode.

Ridge: See, this is what I want my dad to have. Someone who’s there for him. Someone who has his back when everything else falls apart. Someone who says that everything is gonna be okay.

Brooke: And that’s how he wants quinn to feel. Safe and protected. But who’s gonna protect him?

Ridge: We will.

Brooke: If he’ll let us. I really thought that quinn was exposed, that eric saw her for the lying, selfish person that she is.

Ridge: He did, for a minute.

Brooke: Well now he just seems more chained to her than ever.

Ridge: I would be okay with that. They can be chained together. Just as long as they love each other and they get their hands all over each other but that’s not what’s happening. They’re not happy together. He just wants her happiness. That’s all he’s concerned about. It’s almost like he feels he did something wrong. It’s absurd.

Brooke: This reunion feels like it’s just another maneuver of quinn’S.

Ridge: Well, maybe we should treat it like one.

[ Door knocking ]

Ridge: Come on in. Justin. Right on time.

Justin: You wanted to see me? Maybe we should talk in private.

Ridge: Spoken like bill spencer’s right hand man.

Justin: Former.

Ridge: Well, I hope you haven’t lost your touch because I need you to make good on our agreement.

Justin: You kept your end. Thomas didn’t press charges against me. So, what do you need?

Ridge: I need what you promised me. Loyalty and discretion. You kept a of secrets for bill. Now, I need you to uncover some.

Justin: Going after bill?

Ridge: No, I don’t care about bill. He’s irrelevant. This is important. It’s about my dad.

Eric: Here we are.

Katie: Thank you.

Eric: Sure.

Katie: So, I have to be honest. I’m a bit torn.

Eric: Torn? About what?

Katie: Quinn’s absence. I mean, on the one hand, it gives us an opportunity to relax and talk and I do enjoy talking with you.

Eric: Okay.

Katie: But on the other hand, it makes me concerned because if I had just reconciled with my husband then I would want to spend every moment with him.

Eric: Well, quinn hasn’t abandoned me. She’s at work. You didn’t see her there?

Katie: No. That’s one of the reasons I thought she might be working from home with you. That and she was out last night.

Eric: Well, quinn and i don’t have to do everything together to feel connected.

Katie: Sure, yeah, I know. I mean, I’ve never doubted quinn’s dedication to her work, I’m sure. Wherever she is, she’s giving it her all.

Eric: You have that in common with her, you know.

Katie: I guess so. I love my job. But at the end of the day, I’m excited to go home and be with my son. He is my happiness. I’ve always felt like my home was kind of an oasis. Is that how you feel about your home?

Eric: You mean since quinn has come back and is living with me again?

Katie: I know you don’t like being alone.

Eric: I’m not alone. I mean, I’m here with you.

Katie: Well, I am here because you are my friend and I can see that you’re lonely even though you’ve just reconciled with your wife. And you can make light of it and pretend like it’s no big deal. But I can see that it is. I’m sorry. I don’t want to ask you a bunch of questions that you’re reluctant to answer but I’m worried about you… and your marriage.

Eric: I don’t expect everyone to understand my connection to quinn, I really don’T. I think everybody feels it’s a bit unconventional. And it is. But she and I have an arrangement and it seems to be working.

Quinn: Whenever we’re together, no matter how hard I try, I just– I can’t stop.

Carter: Neither can I. Eric swears he’s okay with it.

Quinn: Yeah, I know. But we still need to be careful. Were at the office.

Carter: You’re right. It’s only a matter of time before someone notices the door is locked and that’s how rumors get started. If ridge and brooke found out–

Quinn: No, they can’T. Ever. They wouldn’t understand. I still don’t understand. It would blow their minds to know eric is the one who wants this.

Katie: You and quinn have an arrangement? That sounds… almost business-like.

Eric: That’s poor choice of words. We have an, uh, understanding.

Katie: About what?

Eric: Well, about her situation in life. How she’s married to an older man and, uh–

Katie: Well, last I checked, you were both mature adults.

Eric: Yeah, well one’s a little more mature than the other, right? Look, quinn has a lot a lot of additional chapters to write in her life and I’m sort of contemplating wrapping mine up. Sort of an epilogue.

Katie: Oh, wow! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you even just said that. That is ridiculous. I mean, ask anyone– anyone in business, you are creating the most innovative designs of your entire career.

Eric: My creativity has never been as vital and as strong as it is now. It’s never faded at all. I don’t know what I’d do if I felt that waning too.

Katie: See, this is– this is what I mean. To hear you talk about yourself like this. This is not who you are. You are confident and optimistic. That’s who you are. I mean, no one appreciates beauty the way you do or appreciates the wonder of life.

Eric: I appreciate beauty.

Katie: But does it move you? Because it used to.

Eric: It did.

Katie: Please tell me you haven’t lost that. Eric, you have many, many, many wonderful years ahead of you. Your life should be brimming with things that bring you joy and satisfaction and pride. Is it?

Eric: Katie, this is the life I’ve chosen for myself. Not many people can say that.

Katie: Does it make you happy? I guess that’s what I really want to know. Does quinn make you happy?

Justin: You’d like me to help you with your father?

Ridge: His wife. How well do you know quinn?

Justin: She’s bill’s ex. Wyatt’s mother. Considering what she did to eric, I know she’s not welcomed around here.

Brooke: No, she shouldn’t be.

Ridge: No, she shouldn’t be. But he tore up the divorce papers and took her back.

Justin: He forgave her?

Ridge: Kind of guy my dad is. That’s why he’s vulnerable to a woman like quinn.

Justin: I’ll take a look at his finances. Make sure his assets are okay.

Ridge: Justin, justin. I don’t need a lawyer. I need the guy who did all the dirty work for bill. The guy who put my son in a cage like an animal. Guy who threw me out of a helicopter. The guy who now is gonna do anything that I ask.

Justin: What would you like me to do?

Ridge: Well, justin, I would like for you to follow quinn. Make sure she’s the loyal, loving wife that my dad deserves. And if she sways from that, if she goes– meets with carter or does anything else that is disrespectful to my father, you let me know.

Carter: So, you should know that, um, eric, he had a talk with me earlier. Said it didn’t have to be awkward but it was. Did you tell him we had sex?

Quinn: He asked. I had to be honest. I mean, what else was I supposed to do?

Carter: Okay. That couldn’t be easy for him to hear.

Quinn: It wasn’t easy for me to say. But he wanted to know.

Carter: Your happiness means that much to him.

Quinn: You know, it’s overwhelming. I’m married to eric who wants me to be fulfilled in my life and you, carter walton, fulfill me in ways no man ever has.

Katie: I don’t mean to put you on the spot. I’m only asking because I care about you.

Eric: I know. I’m touched how much my happiness means to you.

Katie: I realize it’s not fun to be bombarded with questions. There was a time in my life when I was depressed. So I get it. And I’m not saying that that’s what’s happening with you, but I just want you to know where I’m coming from.

Eric: Don’t you dare apologize.

Katie: ‘Cause I was going to.

Eric: I know you were. It’s the kind of thoughtful, wonderful woman you are. That’s why you mean so much to me. And to the company.

Katie: Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. But as flattered as I am, it doesn’t answer my question. Are you happy with quinn as your wife? Please, no. I don’t want you to feel judged. I just want you to know that you can open up to me. You can talk to me about anything and you don’t have to feel defensive or exposed. I am only here to help.

Eric: I have, um–

Quinn: Have what?

Eric: I have… erectile dysfunction and I can’t– I can’t make love to you. I can’t do the things for you that a younger man can. This man.

Katie: Please, eric, talk to me. Tell me what’s going on.

Justin: You think quinn’s being unfaithful to eric again?

Brooke: She better not be.

Justin: But has quinn done something to make you suspicious?

Brooke: You want the whole list or just the highlights?

Ridge: My dad taking her back, it just doesn’t make sense.

Justin: You mentioned he might be vulnerable right now.

Ridge: He is, to her.

Brooke: Eric should have signed the divorce papers. Quinn fuller is never gonna be worthy of him. Ever.

Ridge: What do you say?

Justin: I’ll look into it. But it seems all you need is someone to keep an eye on quinn. You could do that yourself.

Ridge: If quinn is up to something, she’ll know exactly what the family’s doing. But you? The great justin barber? She’ll never see you coming.

Quinn: It’s time to get back to the real world. You go first. I’ll watch.

Carter: Not yet.

Quinn: Ah, ah, ah, ah.

[ Carter groaning ]

Carter: Okay, you’re right. We have to be careful. Eric doesn’t want this getting out and we have to respect that.

Quinn: Yeah, we do. We do. I don’t want to embarrass or humiliate him in any way. But you do need to know, I did tell shauna.

Carter: Quinn!

Quinn: What? She’s my best friend. I needed to talk to somebody about this and don’t worry, eric knows that I told her. She was so disappointed in me the first time I betrayed eric but, you know, this time… it’s different. I agree. We need to hide this from everybody. But I’m so conflicted. I’m in love with two incredible and very different men. Eric is my husband. He’s my partner. He’s my love. And you? You’re my friend. You’re my confidant. You’re my lover.

Justin: I’m on it, ridge. See what I can find.

Ridge: Hey, justin. I want you to look in every corner of her life. Where she goes, when she comes back, who she sees and why. She’s made a fool of my dad for long enough.

Quinn: This is too good to be true.

Interview with Christopher Meloni

Posted on by TvMegasite Admin

TV Interview!

Christopher Meloni of "Law & Order: Organized Crime" on NBC

Interview with Christopher Meloni of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” on NBC by Suzanne 9/13/21

We had a chat via Zoom with NBC stars for the TCA panels. This particular panel was supposed to feature Mariska Hargitay (Olivia Benson) as well as Christopher Meloni (Elliot Stabler), but she was held up due to a change in her shooting schedule. That was a real shame because we would have all loved to see her with him. He didn’t seem as if he was in a great mood, but he gave each question serious thought and consideration.

If you’re reading this, you probably know already that he played the same character on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” for 11 years. He left at the end of season 11 because of a contract dispute. Last April he returned to SVU and then premiered this new show, OC, but with plenty of crossover between the two shows (especially with Hargitay).

I asked him the question that everyone wants to know… I knew that he probably couldn’t answer it, but I was interested in how he would handle the question, either way. I said, “I’m on a lot of “Law & Order” Facebook groups, and most of them seem to want your characters to have a real love affair. Should they stay hopeful on that score? Anything you can tell us. I know you can’t give spoilers.” He replied, “Sure. Hope springs eternal. I mean, why  not? I think it’s going to be a collaborative effort between both showrunners for “SVU” and “OC,” and I believe, with Mariska and I, to kind of figure it all out. It’s a complicated relationship. So, we’ll see.”  That was actually a lot more positive answer than I expected. It was very diplomatic, for sure.

Here are more questions from the panel.  This was the next question:  Elliot goes undercover this season, so he was asked whether this would affect his relationship with his former partner, Benson (Hargitay), since they were close last season. He mentioned that he had spoken to real-life undercover cops, and they had confirmed that they do tend to lose themselves in their jobs.  He thinks Elliot is doing that, as well as still dealing with the stress of losing his wife and all that he went through last season, and not sure how Benson fits into his life (both personally and professionally). Benson sees that he might be going through all this.  He and Benson do engage with each other professional quite a bit, and ” and a little bit from the personal side.”

He was also asked whether he’d learned anything about himself from his years of playing Elliot. He responded, “I’ve learned a lot about myself. It’s been a wonderful journey. I think because, you know, to play this character for as long as I have, or I guess any character, but I always thought of him as a man under pressure, and has maybe examined how I engage the world, how I deal with personal relationships, how maybe certain blind spots that I have, and I’ve had to work on. You know, you really do grow with the character. Because as you mature as a human being, I think you bring those lessons to bear to your character. So, you know, you march hand—in—hand with the thing that you’ve created. And it’s been very rewarding. So, I’ve learned more than I could speak of in this short of time.”

Someone else asked why Dick Wolf decided (possibly in collaboration with him or other writers) to put Elliot in Organized Crime rather than in other possibly detective groups. He asserted that it was Wolf’s idea from the beginning. He feels that it was because there was so much rich storytelling that could be told about the crime families and how they work, and that one crime family investigation would fit well into an 8-episode format. He was also asked whether there might be a possibility of any mention of his cop character in Syfy’s “Happy,” but he didn’t think they would do that because they were in two different universes. He compared it to having a crossover between “Grey’s Anatomy” and a Marvel Universe show.

Another person from the press asked him about “the most emotional and challenging story lines to play on a personal level, something that was difficult” for him to play. He gave an interesting answer, “Well, you know, anytime I’ve had to deal with children and traumas inflicted upon children, those are always — those always strike a very deep chord. I’ve always found those very difficult, but oddly enough, kind of the easiest to play, because there’s no searching for the emotional content within myself. You know, I know exactly how I feel. I’m very — there’s such clarity in my place in this world when children are involved.”

I’m sure he’s been asked this question many times: whether he ever had the itch to go back and play Stabler after he left SVU back in 2011. He asserted that he never looked back. Once he was done, that was it. He enjoyed acting in other projects and traveling. He added, “I think to Dick’s credit, he — I don’t know — maybe he sensed I wasn’t as interested in revisiting how, you know, the “SVU” tells a story, which is great, and they do it so wonderfully. So, when he pitched this more serialized expression of his latest idea of a “Law & Order” show, the “OC,” I really thought it was kind of a stroke of genius. I didn’t think that was even kind of anything he was thinking about. So, I was pleasantly pleased and surprised and excited when I got the pitch. And it was just on the basis of the type of storytelling that the “OC” allows us. And I just think it just allows for a little more in—depth analysis of characters and relationships and that kind of stuff. So, I appreciated that. And I think with Ilene Chaiken running the show, it’s really lived up to what Dick had hoped for.”

He was asked if he’d ever binge-watched “Law & Order” SVU,” but he admitted that he never had. He was there when it was filmed, and that was enough. The same journalist also asked him if he would tell us about the “four new recurring characters” on the second season. He seemed taken aback by that question. He named three – “Dash Mihok, Vinnie Jones, Lolita Davidovich and Michael Raymond-James.”  He said that some of the cast are part of their task force and some are from the new crime family they’ll be going after.  He elaborated, “We’re dealing with an Albanian crime family. You get to see a little bit of the hierarchy. It’s very much a family organization. And there’s a kind of Shakespearean intrigue that surrounds it.” That sounds interesting!

Since he mentioned leaving SVU earlier, he was asked about Mariska, “What has been the greatest joy of working with her? What
qualities does she have that has made the journey a real joy for you? And what have been some of the challenges?” He gave a very long answer. Basically, he said that they were two strong personalities that worked well together. The characters were, “finding each
other’s dance steps. And I would argue we found those dance steps 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time we didn’t. And, you know, that’s where — I don’t know — just stuff happens. And it can be creatively wonderful stuff, and it can be challenging stuff. And it’s just stuff. Because at the end of the day, I think we see each other and know each other at our cores, and we love and honor and respect each other’s gifts. We have forgiven each other’s trespasses.” He said that they grew up together on the show . They both built their own separate families at the same time and both had each other’s best interests at heart.  He was quite effusive in his praise of her: “She’s open and honest and trustworthy and a ball of light. She radiates a goodness and a warmth and an inclusiveness. You know, she’s just a wonderful energy to be around. And she’s a hard worker. ” He praised her for how she carried on after he left the show.” They like working together and look forward to it. He never really answered the question about any challenges.

Next he was asked whether any parts of Elliot had rubbed off on him, or vice versa. He didn’t think so. He compared Elliot to himself, saying that Elliot was both more flawed and more heroic than he. He went on, “I think we both strive for the same sense of justice that, you know — I mean, I think this is life, right? And it’s difficult if you have a sense of right and wrong, and the world makes it difficult for one who has a sense of honor and justice, and you see reality is at times difficult in that regard. So, I would like to — I would strive to be as honorable as Elliott is, as flawed as he is. But no. We both have the same kind of walk, and that’s about it, I think.”

He was asked whether he thought all of the spinoffs were a good thing or not. He thinks that they’re both good and bad as it’s part of their business. It’s expensive to “It’s expensive to launch a show, very expensive to maintain a show, and very expensive to get eyeballs to the show, to your product. So, I just kind of think those pressures lend itself to that kind of programming.” He thinks the audience doesn’t mind as long as the product is a good one.

He was also asked why he thinks fans are so crazy about a Benson-Stabler relationship. He thinks that part of the reason is because their parting in 2011 was so abrupt, and they had so much chemistry for years before that. There was never any kind of answer as to the will-they-or-won’t-they question.

Another writer asked how his working with Mariska different this time than it was the first time around. He answered that they were young and didn’t know each other the first time around. It was all new, fresh and exciting. This time, when he returned, it felt both important and comfortable. “And I haven’t examined it beyond that… “I don’t have that relationship with any other actor walking the earth, because I’ve never worked with anyone for as long as I had with Mariska.” They were revisiting their relationship. “all of that in a package of grief, because of the circumstances under which I was reintroduced. So, it was a completely different dynamic, and yet I think the cornerstone of it all was a playfulness, a humor that we just always have with each other, and a camaraderie. Love and camaraderie.”

He was asked a good storyline question about whether Stabler would still be working with the team or whether he’ll be more in charge this season.  He responded that Sgt. Bell is definitely still in command, not Elliot. He went on, “I find it a very interesting dynamic. I was surprised by it all, and I loved it. I thought it was a very good idea. Danielle Moné Truitt is wonderful to work with. Yeah. So, yeah. Elliott is more on the outside in the first series of eight from the unit. They’re kind of more of the, you know — they’re HQ to whom I report, and they do the logistical hard work while Elliott tries to get intel and is on the inside.”

The last person pointed out that Meloni is also great at comedy. He asked which he would like to do next, after he leaves OC? He instantly replied without hesitation that it would be comedy.  “I’m in one swimming pool and I want to go try the other, see how the other water — how refreshing the other water is.”  Well, let’s hope that’s not for a long time…at least not until we see how he and Olivia are able to really connect, finally.

Ashland: It looks perfect.

Victoria: It really does.

Ashland: When people walk through that door and they look at that portrait, they will see what I see — a strong, powerful beautiful woman watching over her empire. Victoria newman is the one building her legacy as the rightful leader of newman/locke.

Victoria: Thank you again for this incredible gift, for understanding what it means hanging in that place and whatd it symbolizes to me.

Nick: What’s up?

Billy: Thanks for coming by. I’ve wanted to talk to you ever since the family meeting with ashland.

Nick: Yeah, he definitely dropped a bomb.

Billy: Yeah. Just not sure if it was a truth bomb or not. Everything he said only made me want to dig deeper, which is what I want to talk to you about. I think we should join forces.

Nick: Not interested.

Billy: Why not?

Nick: Well, one, uh, I would like my sister to actually want to speak to me, and, two, i think ashland’s explanation for why he changed his name makes sense.

Amanda: You, um — you want me to move in with you?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: I mean, are you sure? Even with moses still here? I don’t want to ruin any brotherly bonding.

Devon: No, no, I ran it by him already, and he is more than fine with it. And as for me, I’m very, very certain that I want to make my home your home. I want to spend every day with you. But I also don’t want to pressure you into anything, too, ’cause I know you and I know that your lawyer mind likes to analyze everything before you make decisions. So, just take all the time you need and go through your process.

Amanda: Well, my mind must be working at supersonic speed because I’ve already made my decision. I would love to live with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Yeah.

Tessa: I’m so glad that you have ideas about how to move on and heal from having to let dominic go, but we don’t need to make any big decisions right now. We just moved out of abby’s, and you’re dealing with a lot emotionally. We don’t have to rush anything. You can take all the time you need.

Mariah: I know, but I don’t need any because the answer just appeared like a lightning bolt.

Tessa: Well, I — I don’t think that there are any easy answers to dealing with what’s happened.

Mariah: No, of course not, and I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. But it is a path forward, the right one.

Tessa: O-okay.

Mariah: I think we should have a baby of our own.

Tessa: You want us to have a child?

Mariah: Yes. Think about how great it would be. You know, it’s not like we haven’t had that discussion before.

Tessa: Yeah, um, briefly, in the abstract. But making it a reality, I — I’m not so sure. I honestly didn’t think it would go there that soon. You haven’t really started to unpack what happened to you.

Mariah: I know, a-and I will deal with it. I-I promise. I will talk to my mom or I’ll go get some other form of therapy. But it’s because of what i experienced that I think that this is what iant and I need.

Tessa: I’m not following.

Mariah: Okay, um… sit down. Um…

[ Sighs ] Bowie — sorry — uh, dominic — he made me realize that I had all of these maternal instincts inside of me that I had no idea about. Carrying a child made me realize that I have so much more love to give than I thought. And starting a family with you — that would be the most wonderful thing in the world.

Tessa: That’s a gorgeous sentiment. And I share it, in a big-picture kind of way. But it’s only been a few days since you had abby and chance’s baby.

Mariah: Right. Right, I understand exactly why you’re worried. And my obg-yn said I shouldn’t get pregnant again for at least 12 months. So that’s why… I think you should carry the baby. I want you to experience what it’s like being pregnant, carrying a child, bringing new life into this world. It is absolutely life-changing. And you would be bringing it into our world.

Amanda: That was quite a welcome-to-the-neighborhood.

Devon: I am a welcoming committee of one, you know. The celebration doesn’t have to stop. We can, uh, have some more of the wine that I got for us and put on this very rare miles davis album that I think you’re really gonna love.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: You up for a slow dance with me?

Amanda: Ah, I absolutely am, but I need you to hold that thought.

Devon: Why?

Amanda: Because I have to go.

Devon: You have to go right now?

Amanda: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Why?

Amanda: Because I have to go and pack up all of my stuff at the hotel so that we can officially start living together as soon as possible.

Devon: Well, when you put it like that, then please get out of here.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Please.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: Go.

Amanda: Mmm.

Devon: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Please.

Amanda: I’ll be back.

Devon: You better. Love you.

Amanda: Love you, too.

Victoria: All of the arrangements for the wedding seem to be falling into place, and before you know it, we’re gonna be on our way to tuscany.

Ashland: I’m counting the days.

[ Cellphone chimes ] You know, our wedding is going to be the best damn day of my life. And there is nothing that i would rather do than stay here and rub your feet and chat about it. But I’ve got to run because I’ve got a few things to take care of.

Victoria: No, that’s okay. I have an appointment. And then I have a stack of things that I need to get through when I come back to the office, so…

Ashland: I will check in with you later to see if you’re free for dinner, even if it’s just take-out on your desk.

Victoria: That sounds like a plan. Walk out with me?

[ Door opens ]

Nick: Yes, would I have liked ashland to reveal more information? Of course. But, billy, unlike you, I’m not looking to stir up trouble or find some dirt to make headlines.

Billy: Well, I understand that’s what people would think this is about, but it’s not.

Nick: I heard ashland was so annoyed with your attitude after he told us his story that he went and confronted you.

Billy: That’s one way to put it. Let’s just say he warned me to stay out of his life, which made me only more committed to the fact that he is desperately trying to hide something.

Nick: Well, there you go. The way you’re handling this, it is accomplishing something. You are frustrating my sister and pissing her off. Are you cool with that?

Billy: No, I’m not. But you got to make a choice in life sometimes, right? And I am willing to take the hit to protect my kids. You know what bothers me? He didn’t say anything to victoria until he was forced into it. And he still won’t tell us what his true birth name is or how he got so much money to start those companies at such a young age, especially when he said he came from nothing and that he left his past in the dust.

Nick: Things happen, billy, you know? And if victoria didn’t think she needed to take a closer look at ashland after he admitted that he was lying to her, what makes you think she’s gonna care about where he got his money?

Billy: Because how ashland got that much money so quickly when he was barely out of his teens speaks to his character just as much as creating a brand-new identity for himself.

Nick: Not necessarily.

Billy: Nick, I know a little something about compromised finances. It’s my gambling that got victoria kidnapped at one point. And now you got a guy that could potentially be my kids’ stepfather, and he openly admitted to erasing his entire history. He won’t tell us what his real name is or how he amassed a fortune to put him smack-dab in the business world. His entire career, he has thrived on being a larger-than-life mogul. Then he goes and sells his entire entity to a woman that he barely knows? Oh, yeah, and now they’re engaged.

Nick: Well, it’s not like it’s, you know, out of the blue. There are major extenuating circumstances.

Billy: Yeah, I understand. His illness could be altering his decisions. But then again, every event in his life is strange, isn’t it, with giant question marks hanging over them. Now, you get to make the choice to turn a blind eye, which is exactly what victoria’s doing. But I can’t, and I won’t, because the truth, whatever it is, matterS.

Is angel soft an

ideal balance of

Tessa: I hear what you’re saying. But I don’t think it’s the best time to consider having a baby. You’re still so emotionally raw after everything that’s happened with dominic.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s exactly why this is the right time to consider it. Okay, I — this is a lot. I know this is a lot, so I will just give you a minute to wrap your head around it.

[ Laughs ]

Tessa: But, hey, I — I love that you’re thinking about our future because I plan on being with you for the rest of my life. And when we’re both ready — like really, really ready — we should talk about it more. And hopefully that will be soon. But I think our top priority should be working through everything that’s happened with dominic and abby. Let me take care of you, okay? The watchwords today are “rest,” “relax,” “restore.”

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] You’re right. And those are pretty great words, so… you know what? I’m gonna take a quick nap.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: [ Exhales heavily ]

Nick: Hey, rey.

Rey: Hey, nick. What’s going on, man?

Nick: Glad I ran into you. Um…something I want to talk to you about.

Rey: Alright. Is it about sharon? Faith?

Nick: About victoria. More precisely, her fiancé.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. I’ll get on that. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Oh! To what do I owe this divine honor?

Victoria: I’m here for the spa, not you.

Phyllis: Well, since i hand-picked every single treatment on the list, I’m gonna take that as a compliment.

Victoria: Why am I not surprised?

Phyllis: What’s on the menu today?

Victoria: I’m getting a facial. I don’t really have time for much more.

Phyllis: Um, can I suggest the bridal package? It’s really great. And maybe you should tell nikki about it because I’m sure, as the mother of the bride, she wants to glow before the wedding. I’m going to treat myself to something in that package before we head off to summer’s wedding in milan.

Victoria: Oh, yes, that’s right. You and nicholas are heading to — to italy before ashland and I do.

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m really excited. I’m really excited for the wedding. I’m equally as excited to be spending time in the most beautiful place on the planet. And then we’ll go down to your wedding in tuscany. I’m sure it’s going to be a glorious affair. Are you excited?

Victoria: I can’t wait to marry ashland. I have never felt more positive or secure or happy in my entire life. He is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

Phyllis: Good. Why don’t you tell me how you really feel?

Ashland: You wanted to meet. Here I am.

Gaines: Finally. You look well. I must say I’m surprised, given the reports about your condition.

Ashland: Well, you can’t believe everything you read.

Gaines: Oh. So, how are you feeling?

Ashland: What do you want, gaines?

Gaines: Alright. I guess we are, uh, dispensing with the niceties.

[ Breathes deeply ] I hate to be blunt, but i watched your livestream, and it’s pretty clear that my yearly pension is coming to an end sooner than expected, due to your condition. So we need to adjust our agreement.

Ashland: I would hardly call blackmail an agreement.

Gaines: After all these years, you’re still referring to our arrangement as blackmail? Aren’t we past all that? I thought that we had settled into a civil, even rather comfortable relationship.

Ashland: Answer the question. What exactly do you want?

Gaines: [ Sighs ] (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Nick: Rey, I got a lot of serious questions about ashland, and I feel like I need some answers before victoria marries this guy.

Rey: Alright. What, you’re worried he did something illegal?

Nick: I hope not. Now, this next part is why i need you to keep it between us. Ashland told the rest of the family that when he was younger he changed his name to escape an abusive father.

Rey: Well, I know something about problematic fathers, so i understand why someone might do that.

Nick: If it was just this one bit of information, then I’d probably be okay with it, but it’s been a series of surprising revelations that got me wondering — does my sister need to know more? Now, she’s a very smart, savvy woman. I don’t doubt for one second that ashland has real feelings for her. But the speed of the newman/locke merger and their engagement has got me concerned. And, frankly, it has caught me and the rest of the family off guard.

Rey: Yeah, I have to admit i was a bit surprised by it, as well, given what victoria has gone through personally over the last few years. I understand why you’re being protective. But I don’t think there are grounds to launch an official investigation. And, you know, I wouldn’t feel comfortable investigating off the record, if that’s what you’re asking.

Nick: No, no, it’s — I’m asking because I’m thinking about looking into this myself. And if I do it, I want it to be done very quietlY. So I’m just hoping you could maybe point me in the right direction. That’s it.

Rey: Alright. Okay. Well, let’s — let’s start at the beginning. Did he share anything about the birth name?

Nick: No, he is a closed book about that.

Rey: Okay, well, that’s not necessarily a dead end. I mean, name changes have to be filed in the courts, and they have to be published in the newspaper.

Nick: My dad and billy each have people looking into that. They’re looking at, you know, court records and old publications, and so far they haven’t come up with anything. Do you know if there are different rules if the person is a victim of abuse? Like, would the courts allow ashland to conceal his identity if it was for his own protection?

Rey: Yeah, no, back then, it’s highly unlikely. If the name change wasn’t in the public records, that means that locke didn’t go through the usual channels. He — he must have found a way to bend the rules.

Nick: I’m not sure how he would pull that off. I mean, he was young. He didn’t have any clout or money. This all happened before he became a success in business.

Rey: So, look, changing a name is only one facet of creating a new identity. To do it completely, you need a birth certificate, a new social security number. It’s not easy. And it’s even harder to believe that someone like locke, who has been under public scrutiny for as long as he has, could keep something like that hidden.

Nick: Yet he still managed somehow to do it. Which means I have more questions now than I did before.

Gaines: You see, I’ve grown accustomed to the 300 grand a year you’ve been providing me. It buys me a lifestyle I enjoy.

Ashland: I’m sure it does.

Gaines: And in return, you have received my silence. But it looks like all that’s coming to an end. Truly sorry about that.

Ashland: Right.

Gaines: You know, I would have thought a man like you would have had more time left on this earth, but fate has its own plan for the future. And so do I. I want what should have and would have been mine. But I’m not greedy. I’ll settle for 10 years of payments in one lump sum.

Ashland: $3 million?

Gaines: Good math. In cash, by the end of the day. And then I’ll be out of your life, and you can die knowing that your secret is safe.

Victoria: So, you think that I sounded over-the-top about marrying ashland? I’m sorry. I guess I let my enthusiasm get the best of me.

Phyllis: Yeah. Don’t apologize. I mean, hey, listen, I know how it feels to be happy with the person you’re with, like you finally got it right.

Victoria: Honestly, I thought you and nicholas would have imploded by now.

Phyllis: Well, you’re not the only one. That’s the general thought around town.

Victoria: Mm. So, what’s different this time? I mean, maybe you — you’ve really changed or maybe nick is just more of a saint than ever before.

Phyllis: Well, maybe it’s just a little bit of both. You know? Did you ever think you’d be with someone like ashland before this time in your life?

Victoria: No, no, I didn’T. I view the world and people and love in a very different way now.

Phyllis: Yeah. So do I. I view the world differently now, too.

[ Clears throat ] This is an adult conversation. I mean, we’ve evolved. It’s what they call growth, right?

Victoria: Yeah. Well, I hope that you’re not suggesting that we become friends.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t want to be your friend. I’m not suggesting that, you know? Maybe in like 50 years, but not now.

Victoria: Yeah, well, maybe if you keep being good to my brother, we’ll maybe make it 25.

Phyllis: Jack! Hey!

Jack: Hello, ladies. And how is the bride-to-be today?

Victoria: Very well. Thank you. However, I’m about to be late for my appointment. So, if you’ll excuse me…

Phyllis: Hey. What brings you by? You going to the spa, or do you have a business meeting?

Jack: No, actually, I came here to see you.

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

Imani: Amanda!

Amanda: Hey.

Imani: I really need to talk to you.

Amanda: Why? What’s going on?

Imani: It’s about mom.

Itchy?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Imani: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. I thought I could keep it together, but I’m a mess.

[ Breathes deeply ] The three of us were having such a great trip, and then finding out about mom’s heart condition — it was so shocking.

Amanda: I completely understand. That’s why I actually reached out to nate. He assured me that naya’s condition is treatable and he put me in contact with some specialists and they should be able to help.

Imani: Wait. You did all that already?

Amanda: I hope that’s not a problem.

Imani: No. I’m grateful and relieved. Thank you. It’s just a new and kind of strange dynamic for me. Growing up an only child, i never had anyone I could lean on like this.

Amanda: Yeah.

Imani: Other than my grandfather — well, our grandfather — and my parents.

Amanda: I know what you mean.

Imani: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be so insensitive.

Amanda: No, no, you — you weren’T.

[ Chuckles ] I think that this is gonna take a little getting used to for both of us. But I want you to know that I’m really happy that I have a sister to turn to.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Me too.

Jack: I was on my way home, and I thought I’d stop by and see if maybe you and nick would like to fly to milan with me on the jabot jet. I’ll be traveling with less of a crowd than the newmans.

Phyllis: Wait a second. Are you offering an alternative to flying with victor newman?

Jack: [ Laughs ]

Phyllis: Yes. Yes. I’m just gonna run it by nick, but yes.

Jack: Yeah, of course.

Phyllis: Hey, I bet you’re as excited to see kyle as I am to see summer.

Jack: It does my heart good, after everything our kids have been through, to see them get the happiness that they deserve. I look at them, I still see the children they once were, as well as the amazing adults they are now, so in love and building a life together.

Phyllis: Yeah. You want that for yourself, too, don’t you?

Jack: Kyle’s happiness is enough for me.

Phyllis: Hey! Don’t dismiss what I said.

[ Sighs ] Listen, I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said the other night.

Gaines: Given what’s at stake, I think it’s a small price to pay.

Ashland: Gaines, I can’t snap my fingers and come up with that kind of cash by tonight. I’m in the middle of a massive corporate merger, so the entire locke enterprise is under a microscope. And on top of that, I’m getting married in a few weeks. So, when I return from italy, I will square all of my accounts with you.

Gaines: I’m afraid that’s not acceptable. We need to settle this before you leave the country because once you’re gone, you might be gone forever.

Ashland: I’m marrying the woman I love, not planning an escape.

Gaines: Look, I don’t want to be unreasonable. Business day’s about to come to a close. I’m willing to wait…until tomorrow.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Y-you really think that’s feasible?

Gaines: For a man like you, I do. You’ve proven time and again that when you want something, you make it happen, even the seemingly impossible.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] I’ll take care of it. And then that’s the end… of you and me. You will never contact me again. Coming back for more will the biggest mistake of your life. I’ll repeat. Never contact me again.

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Imani: I have a proposition.

Amanda: Okay.

Imani: How about we have a little sister time right now? We can order room service, watch a movie. There’s this new french film i want to stream.

Amanda: Oh, I know the film you’re talking about. I heard that it is absolutely amazing.

Imani: Mm-hmm. And since we both speak the language, we can make it interesting. We can turn off the subtitles, see whose french is better.

Amanda: Oh, okay! Challenge accepted.

[ Laughs ] I, uh — I just got to make a really quick phone call first, okay?

Imani: Okay.

Devon: Hey. You on your way back?

Amanda: Um, not yet. Imani is actually here, and we were hoping that we could hang out a little longer.

Devon: Oh, yeah. No, that’s no problem. Take your time. Me and the penthouse ain’t going nowhere.

Amanda: Okay. Thank you. Um, I will see you at home later. That sounded so weird.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ] No. It sounds right.

Amanda: It did. Bye.

Devon: Bye.

Imani: Um, I wasn’t eavesdropping, but, um — okay. Yeah. I was. I couldn’t help it. Did I hear you right? Are you and devoN…

Amanda: Moving in together? Yes.

Imani: [ Laughs ] Congrats. I’m so happy for you.

Amanda: Thank you.

Imani: Wow. I don’t know if you’re sweet or crazy to be hanging out here when you can be settling in and getting cozy with him.

Amanda: Well, he knows how important you are to me. And he will be there when I walk through the door.

[ Sighing ] Oh, god, it feels so good. I mean, should I be worried to be this happy?

Imani: Hell no. You deserve it.

[ Sighs ] I admit, I am a little jealous you found someone as spectacular as devon. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime catch.

Amanda: Yeah. He is. I’m a lucky woman.

[ Soft guitar music playing ]

[ Music continues ]

Tessa: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought I was playing softly.

Mariah: It’s the best sound in the world to wake up to.

Tessa: Well, you seem more at peace. Maybe some rest did you good.

Mariah: It’s more than that. Waking up knowing that we have a plan and we know what direction we’re going in, it just — it’s a huge weight off of my heart, even for a little bit. Oh. You’re not on board with having our baby, are you?

Jack: Hey, I thought we put all that to bed. I didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable or —

Phyllis: No, just — hey, let me finish. Just let me get this out. Um, you can’t stop me anyway. You know that. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Go ahead.

Phyllis: I love you, too. That’s never gonna change.

Jack: Well, thank you. It’s — it’s not the same thing, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Phyllis: It is the same thing. I really love you. You’ll always be in my heart… permanently in my heart. So just keep that knowledge with you, okay?

Victoria: I’m sending you the figures now, so just give me a call back after you’ve looked at them. Thanks.

[ Phone hangs up ] Hi there.

Ashland: You look busy.

Victoria: Yes, well, I had a lovely respite at the spa, but I’m paying for it now. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to leave for dinner.

Ashland: Oh, no worries. I understand.

Victoria: What about you? Did you take care of everything you needed to?

Ashland: Uh…yeah, I did.

Victoria: Are you okay? You seem a little tense.

Ashland: That’s just the treatments mixed with all the other things I have on my mind, I guess.

Victoria: What things? I mean, if you’re talking about our company, I mean, everything’s fine on that front.

Ashland: No, no, I just want our big day in tuscany to go as smoothly as possible and be an amazing occasion for you.

Victoria: I want that, too. But you do know that the wedding is just one day. The marriage is what really matters, the time that we spend together, who we are to each other.

Ashland: Even with all that I’ve told you about my past, you still have your doubts about me. What makes new salonpas arthritis gel

Tessa: I have no problem with the idea of starting a family. Why would I? I love you. But this is all really sudden.

Mariah: But it’s not for me.

Tessa: What you went through as a surrogate would be very different than what it would be for us. And it’s too important to rush. It would be a mistake to do it for the wrong reasons.

Mariah: But I don’t know what you’re talking about. Wrong reasons? I mean, we’re two people who love each other.

Tessa: I’m just trying to think of what’s best for you.

Mariah: I understand, tessa. I do. But I really need this.

Victoria: I don’t doubt your love for me. And I really — I want to marry you as much as I did the day you proposed to me.

Ashland: But I just saw that look in your eyes. Now, please listen to me. I — [ Sighs ] I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But whoever I was, I’m still the man that fell head over heels for you.

Victoria: I know that.

Ashland: I never told anybody about my past, but I opened up about things I never talk about with you, your family, even billy, all to avoid that look I just saw in your eyes.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It meant so much that you did that, but I’m — I’m still just trying to take it all in.

Ashland: What can I do to reassure you, angel?

Victoria: I just need to know that there aren’t gonna be any more surprises.

Ashland: I promise. You know every important thing there is to know about me.

Jack: Well, I, uh, better be going. Let me know what you and nick decide about the plane ride.

Phyllis: Okay. Hey!

Nick: What plane ride?

Jack: I thought you and phyllis might like to go to milan on the jabot jet with me.

Phyllis: Yes. And my answer was, hell yes, given the alternative is spending 10 hours sitting next to your father. But, hey, it’s your call.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Cool. I’m in.

Jack: Great. Glad to hear it. I’ll be in touch with details.

Nick: Alright.

Phyllis: So, you missed your sister earlier. She came for a spa appointment. We had a pleasant conversation.

Nick: Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot about victoria’s marriage to ashland.

Phyllis: Yeah. I know you’re bothered by what ashland revealed to the family. I mean, we haven’t had a chance to talk about it, but I know it bothers you, given how you felt before.

Nick: Well, it’s like every time I feel like I’m ready to let it go, another bombshell drops. I mean, you know, one, ashland’s dying, which is terrible. But then we find out that ashland and victoria merged their companies. And then we find out that ashland isn’t who he says he is? It’s unsettling. And I’m sure it is for victoria, too, not that she’ll ever admit it. You know, I’ve been really thinking about digging into ashland’s past. But I’m conflicted. But I want answers. But I also know that if I go down this road, there’s no going back, particularly where victoria is concerned. And if she finds out that I did that, she’s gonna be furious, and she may never talk to me again.

Phyllis: You know, earlier i said don’t meddle, don’t get in the way of true love, but… if your instinct is telling you that ashland is hiding something, I mean… you’re a protective, loving brother. That’s a beautiful thing. So, there are two ways to go about this. Either you save your sister from potential disaster… or you just be nice and polite and do nothing. I know what I would do.
