Steffy: Yes, we are very excited to be working with you next season. I’ll have my father contact you personally about the fitting. All right. Ciao, mariella. Buona notte.

Hope: You wanted to see me?

Steffy: I did. Ah, could you please close the door? I’ll just get right to the point. We need to discuss hope for the future.

Bill: Do you know who luna’s father is? Could it be me?

Poppy: Yes, bill. It could be you. You might be luna’s father. Here.

Bill: Thanks.

Poppy: You must be tired. You were tossing and turning all night.

Bill: Well, can you blame me after what you told me yesterday? Your daughter could be my daughter.

Rj: Are you serious? That you wish that, you know, bill spencer could be your dad?

Luna: Yeah, I think about it sometimes.

Rj: Even though your mom denied it?

Luna: I mean, my mom and bill had just started reconnecting when I first brought it up. And don’t get me wrong, okay? I– I think about us a lot more often. But I don’t know. I can’t help but find myself wondering about bill. What that would be like, especially now that they’ve gotten so much closer.

Brooke: Hm. I do miss seeing you at the office, eric.

Eric: Yeah, you better. I’m glad to hear it. Although, I am enjoying myself here, taking my time, healing and spending time with donna. Planning a trip here and there, and allowing ridge and steffy to run the business for the time being.

Brooke: And they do. I mean, ridge grumbles about not having enough time to design.

Eric: He does.

Brooke: We all know how important it is for the two of you to spend time together.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: But quite frankly, sis, I think you should spend some more time at the office again.

Eric: Actually, I think that’s a really good idea. I mean, you’ve contributed a lot to our success.

Brooke: Oh, well, thank you. But like you, I have taken a step back.

Eric: If that’s what you wanna do, that’s fine. But, um, we can always use your input.

Brooke: Well, I do miss having an active role at the business.

Eric: You’re a legend in the business. You really are. I mean, the belief formula alone, let alone brooke’s bedroom and the first men’s line, all of them innovations that we couldn’t have done without.

Donna: Oh, he is so right. If you wanna get back there, you should just go for it.

Brooke: I’m not sure how steffy would feel about that.

Katie: Hello, hello.

Donna: Hello. Oh, my gosh, you got my message. Thank you for coming.

Eric: The house is full of logans. Very nice.

Katie: Isn’t it nice? Oh, and since you’re both here, I wanna share a little news. I stopped by bill’s yesterday and met the new woman in his life.

Donna: Anyone we know?

Katie: Luna’s mother, poppy.

Rj: I just didn’t realize you still wondered about bill being your father.

Luna: Yeah, sometimes. You know, if he could be or what he’d be like. I know, I know it’s stupid. My mom already said that bill isn’t my dad, but then again, she said that about every guy in her past, so.

Rj: I don’t understand. Why has your mom been so secretive about who your father is?

Bill: Luna could really be my daughter.

Poppy: Are you absolutely sure that you’re not upset?

Bill: Upset, no– I told you last night, I’m not upset. I’m– I’m surprised. I mean, I asked you before and you didn’t want me to know?

Poppy: I was afraid.

Bill: Afraid of what?

Poppy: You and I hadn’t been seeing each other very long, and then luna and I were at odds. There was just a lot to consider. I raised luna on my own. We were a team. That’s how I raised her. I’m an independent woman and I never needed a man. Or so I thought. Until you.

Hope: Well, I can run back to the design office so you can see our newest designs.

Steffy: No, no, no, you don’t have to do that.

Hope: I– I thought you said this was about hope for the future.

Steffy: Yes, it’s current iteration. Look, rj and zende, they are great designers, but the collection hasn’t been the same since thomas left, so…

Hope: Well, I don’t disagree, but, uh, thomas also left in large part due to your interference, steffy. I have active psoriatic arthritis.

Steffy: No, no, no, no, no. Don’t blame me for what happened between you and thomas.

Hope: Well, I wasn’t the one who told him to leave town with douglas.

Steffy: You’re the reason why thomas left.

Hope: You know how much I miss them and how difficult this has been for me. Having to be a mother halfway across the world, having to hear the change in thomas’s voice on the phone.

Steffy: I know you’re dealing with a lot. That’s why I delayed this conversation with you.

Hope: About hope for the future?

Steffy: Yes.

Hope: Okay, well, I’ve already had this discussion with ridge and carter, and they both assured me that I would have the company’s support during this transitory time.

Steffy: That was then, but as co-ceo, it’s my job–

Hope: Steffy, do I need to remind you that you essentially were the one who packed thomas’s bags and shipped him to another country? I understand that we need results, but results take time. But I’m putting together an entirely new creative team here, and I would really appreciate some patience and understanding, but honestly, when it comes to you, steffy, you’ve never wanted to give that to me. Gosh, I have put up with it for so long, but honestly, enough is enough, steffy. I’m not going to let you mess with my life anymore.

Brooke: So, bill and poppy have known each other over 20 years?

Donna: And you have never heard of her before?

Katie: Apparently, they were just together that one night, and then they lost contact with each other until they randomly bumped into each other again. I mean, I– I have a lot of questions, but it didn’t really seem like the time. They didn’t seem like they were expecting company, and I don’t know, bill seems quite taken with her.

Eric: We all think the world of luna.

Donna: And if she’s anything like her mother, poppy must be lovely too.

Brooke: Luna is very much her own person.

Donna: Yeah, I wonder– I wonder actually if– if luna is getting to know bill, because if– if bill and poppy are getting close like this, it would make sense for them all to want to get along.

Eric: I can’t imagine a man as full of himself as bill is wanting to have any role in luna’s life.

Luna: Yeah, I don’t know. Like, I– I thought that it’d be different when I got older, like when I finally became an adult, she’d tell me who my dad is, but she’s actually become more reluctant to talk about it.

Rj: Well, you told her it won’t change your relationship with her.

Luna: Yeah, but maybe she doesn’t believe me. Or maybe she’s afraid that it will. Sometimes, it felt like she didn’t want someone coming in. You know, she don’t want someone interfering with our little family.

Rj: You said she dated, right?

Luna: Yeah, but it was nothing serious. Like they were nice guys, but there was no commitment.

Rj: I mean, maybe that’s just not poppy’s thing.

Luna: Or maybe if it was the right guy, the guy that she truly loved and loved her back.

Rj: Someone like bill spencer?

Bill: I– I guess what I couldn’t wrap my head around yesterday, and I’m still having a hard time with it today, is you didn’t want me to be luna’s father?

Poppy: No, it wasn’t that.

Bill: But then– then what? Because you obviously didn’t feel like you could be honest with me.

Poppy: It’s not a simple yes or no answer for me, bill. All right? Luna’s paternity is a very complex and emotionally charged question for me. And when you asked me a while back, I just– I got overwhelmed thinking about the fallout. I’ve never loved a man. I’ve only ever loved my daughter. She’s my everything. And I’ve only ever been completely committed to her and only her.

Bill: And that’s commendable. But poppy, if– if you thought that I was luna’s father, I mean, I told you how happy that would make me, how proud I would be.

Poppy: Please try to understand that I didn’t tell you the truth because I wasn’t ready to face it. My sister, li, has berated me for most of my life, calling me an opportunist, a gold digger. And I can only imagine how many women have crawled out of the woodwork claiming that you were the father of their children. I didn’t want you to judge me or think that I was one of them.

Bill: I know that you’re not.

Poppy: I didn’t want to think about luna’s father and what his presence could do for the life that I had made for us… until you came back into my life. Until I fell for you. My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Steffy: Hope, why are we making this personal? This is a business meeting.

Hope: Hope for the future is personal to me.

Steffy: And normally, I’d be all for that. I love the passion. I love the energy. But what you’re doing right now, it’S…

Hope: I’m– I’m not going to back down when it comes to my line or my team.

Steffy: Hope, this industry isn’t patient. It’s all about what’s new, what’s next. We keep it moving.

Hope: And I understand that we have hit a rough patch, but I am confident that we will be able to move past it.

Steffy: Well, as co-ceo, I’m not confident of that at all.

Brooke: Well, it’s nice to know that eric’s taking his recovery serious.

Donna: Yeah, yeah, he just, uh, loves his trainer. He always comes back so invigorated and…

Katie: I’m glad he’s taking care of himself.

Donna: My god, I just love my honey bear so much and I just want him to be as healthy as possible, you know? I mean, I usually go with him, but my sisters are here.

Katie: Oh, well, we don’t wanna keep you.

Donna: Are you kidding me? I wanna know everything you know about bill and poppy.

Katie: I’ve already told you everything I know about bill and poppy.

Brooke: You know how bill raises his children, how he’s been raising will. Maybe you have a different perspective.

Katie: That he would wanna be a part of luna’s life? I mean, I don’t know. Bill loves his sons, and he’s fiercely protective of them, but I don’t think that extends beyond his family.

Donna: Yeah, I– I agree. I mean, I can’t see bill being involved in luna’s life. And, I mean, come on. I mean, he’s good with his boys, but other people’s children? I don’t think bill spencer’s gonna be involved with luna.

Brooke: Well, with everything going on in luna’s life lately, I think she would be even less interested in this new man that her mother’s seeing.

Luna: I know you’re not bill spencer’s biggest fan.

Rj: No, I’m not. Honestly, my whole family feels that way, luna, and for good reason.

Luna: Okay, well, I don’t know what bill was like in the past, but he’s been really good to my mom. And he’s been nothing but kind and sweet to me.

Rj: Really? Bill spencer? Sweet?

Luna: Like, there was this one time, um, he came to the apartment, and I had just gotten into an argument with my mom, and he was really understanding. And he told me what it’s like to be a parent, and how he wanted the best for his kids. I couldn’t help but think to myself, like, “what would my life be like if I had a dad like that?” Because that bill is exactly the kind of man that I’d want as my father.

Poppy: You know, I’m not afraid of rejection. I like myself the way I am.

Bill: Well, there’s a lot to like. And I saw that the first time we met. So confident.

Poppy: I thought I saw something in you too, bill. And what we shared that night, it was like nothing I’d ever felt before. And I thought you felt the same. But then…

Bill: But then you never heard from me again. I’m sorry, poppy. I can see how much I hurt you.

Poppy: Well, there’s no need to apologize now, right? What we’ve shared, and reconnecting like this, it’s been amazing. It’s everything I thought it could be, and more.

Bill: I agree. And that’s why if there’s even the slightest chance that luna could be my daughter, I need to know. We both need to know. Moving forward withnode-positive breast cancer.

Hope: Steffy, hope for the future is one of forrester’s most impactful lines, and zende and rj are talented designers. You’ve said so yourself.

Steffy: Yes, they are. They are the next generation of forrester creations, but they could be working on more lucrative projects.

Hope: Well, our sales have been wonderful up until this point.

Steffy: Up until this point. A high-concept line? That has a lot of overhead. Marketing, materials, charitable affiliations. Look, I just don’t see hope for the future as one of my visions anymore for this company.

Hope: Your vision? Look, my team will prove themselves, okay? We just need time.

Steffy: I think your time is up, hope. That’s why I wanted to speak to you one-on-one. I didn’t wanna blindside you. I’m thinking about cutting hope for the future.

Donna: So, now that eric is gone, tell us how you really feel.

Katie: I’m just as honest around eric as I am with you.

Brooke: You said you were surprised to see bill with poppy.

Katie: Yeah, I didn’t realize he was seeing anyone.

Brooke: How do you feel about that?

Katie: I didn’t expect him to live like a monk, brooke. And as I told bill, he doesn’t answer to me.

Brooke: Would you like him to?

Katie: Would I have liked him to tell me that he was seeing someone, poppy or whoever? Yes, I would have liked that because I thought we had that kind of relationship, but I don’t know. I– I will always love bill. You know, not just because he’s will’s father, but because we’ve meant a lot to each other and do I see a future with him? I don’t know. I do have to say though, luna’s mother, I’m not so sure about her.

Luna: I don’t know why I’m acting like this. I mean, it’s stupid to go on and on about bill being my father because he isn’T.

Bill: If luna is my daughter, I will stand by her and you. You will both have a special place in my life, poppy.

Poppy: I was right about you. You are the most wonderful man.

Bill: Well, let’s see if you’re right about the rest of it. You know what we have to do, poppy? We need to know.

Poppy: Yes. Thank you. This is what I was afraid of. Opening up. I love you, bill. And I loved you from the moment I first saw you.

Bill: Let’s do it now. Today. Let’s find out if luna’s my daughter. A daughter. I could have a daughter.

Poppy: Yes, you could have a daughter.

Bill: Wow.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Alrighty, what did you end up getting? Well, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

Do you think that Jude Or like This? Well, I think he’s gonna love it. And I also think that I just One upped you. You went upside down, Pete. Uh, best grandma in the galaxy. And that you are. Oh, darling. I think I’ll have some dinner. Grandchildren determine that. Yeah, well, speaking of that, Eric and Sue should have been here already with our newest grandchild.

You’re right. I wonder what’s going on. I’ll, uh, Maybe I’ll just be there if you call. Alright, let me see if I can get our table ready. Oh, perfect. Thank you, honey.

Okay, table for four and a half is waiting. We’re not going to need it.

What’s, uh, what’s going on? Eric just texted me. They’re not coming. Something is wrong.

Oh, yeah. Mm hmm. This is great. So thanks for meeting me here. Well, thanks for inviting me. It’s always great hanging out with you. You know, I gotta say, it feels really good to be back here at the good ol Brady Pub. You miss it, do you? The food, yes. I’ll tell you what I don’t miss. It’s a racket from every Tuesday night karaoke.

Oh, I bet. So are you off duty for the night? Uh, actually I’m not, so I’m gonna have to leave soon, so I only have time for a quick dinner, unfortunately. Ah, boo hoo. Yeah. You’re working late, huh? Yeah, you know, we’re shorthanded at the station. I mean, Harris came back for medical leave, but then when he came back, he immediately asked for more days off.

Is he okay? Yeah, I mean he’s physically cleared for duty, but I don’t know what’s going on in his head. And from what I’ve seen, he likes to play things pretty close to the vest. So he just asked Brave for a couple of extra days off? Yeah, unpaid leave. Did he say why he needed those days? He didn’t. And it’s safe to say that he’s not somewhere on a beach with an umbrella drink.

So I see you decided to spring for the Buffalo Bill room. Was the Roy Rogers room already booked? It’s, uh, trout season here in Montana. We were lucky to get this room. Oh. Hey. Hey, guys. Lucas. They’re, uh, bringing in a rollaway for me. Where do you want them to put it?

Like

sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Now obviously you two lovebirds can have the big bed and I’ll just put my little tiny cot in this little tiny western room somewhere. What is this, trout season? Yeah, yeah, it is. So we’re lucky, apparently, that we’re not sleeping in the car. I just don’t want to cramp your style as well. This is not a romantic getaway.

Um, we’re here to catch Clyde. I just don’t want to be the third wheel. I hate that. Lucas, I brought you as a driver and a lookout. And I appreciate that. I do, and I’m going to do my part. I’m going to make sure that Clyde ends up in that, that cage right where he belongs, you know? So no one else gets hurt, you know, including you.

We lock Clyde back up, and you get your permanent release. Yeah, yeah, that would be nice, wouldn’t it? Except, uh, I will miss the make your own Sunday bar.

It’s an inside thing. Don’t worry about it. What’s the plan?

So even though you’re shorthanded at the station, Rafe still let Harris take those extra days off? Harris wasn’t going to take no for an answer, apparently. The man’s intense. He is ex Navy SEAL. Yeah.

You worried about something? Yeah, I’m always worried about something.

It’s Ava. She’s not around, and I’m assuming Harris is with her. Wherever Eva Vitale goes, trouble is sure to follow. Yeah, well, Harris is a big boy. He can take care of himself. Yeah, I guess he can.

You’re worried about something else too, aren’t you? You know me too well. I’ve known you all my life. I’m worried about my daughter. Okay, banana nut muffin and, uh, vanilla lattes. Hey, you remembered. Of course I did. Oh.

Sorry, once again. Hi Marlena. Chad, I’m trying to reach Eric and he’s not answering his phone. Is he at work today? No, I haven’t seen him. But he did send me a text earlier saying that a feature he was working on was on hold for a few days. I see. Um, I don’t know. It could be because of what happened with Everett at the bar.

So maybe he’s trying to keep his distance from the spectator for a little while. Did you hear what happened? I did. I did. Um, if you, uh, if you hear from him, would you ask him to please call me? Yeah, I will do. Take care, Marlena. You too.

Eric is not at work. Okay, maybe you can try slow.

What is it? What’s going on? Our number has been disconnected. Disconnected. Ah, that’s strange. That is strange, and it’s also alarming. I don’t like this, uh, uh, There’s something going on. Let’s find out what.

Hey, Eric, you in there, buddy? Where, where could he be? His car is downstairs, so is Sloan’s.

Eric, there you are. We’ve been so worried about you. Apparently for good reason. What’s happened, darling? Everything.

Stephanie told Kayla and me that Everett gave Eric Brady a black eye at the small bar. It was a misunderstanding. Really? He was arrested for assault. I’m sure the charges are gonna be dropped. You know what? I can, uh, I can get a hold of that police report. I can read it myself. But I have a feeling something else is going on here.

Isn’t that right, Jada? Steve, listen, given our history, um, I really hope that you can understand if I really just don’t want to get into Everett’s personal life and his business. I do understand, but the guy is dating my daughter. He were once married to him. So I need to know one thing. Is Everett Lynch a violent man?

Look, during the time that we were together, he never raised his hand to me. I don’t think he’ll hurt Stephanie. Not like that. Wow. Ah, there’s still something you’re not telling me. Listen, Stephanie knows what she’s getting into. You know, where are our burgers at? Gosh, you know, it looks like they’re shorthanded here too.

Hmm.

Oh! There you go. Thanks. So, we were able to track Clyde, or Goldman, or whoever downloaded the photos to a local library. Right. That’s why we’re here in the middle of nowhere in the woods, risking getting mauled by bears or eaten alive by mosquitoes. I get it. Yeah, that’s exactly why, and I think it’s worth the risk in my book.

I think it’s worth the risk too. But, if you, if you both know that Clyde is here, why didn’t you just call the FBI? Because I want to deal with that son of a bitch myself. I get it man, it’s personal for you. It’s personal for all of us.

Sloan took Nicole and EJ’s baby? Jude is their son? Not mine. Oh, darling, I’m so sorry. Sorry too, kid. Well, I imagine what you’re going through right now. So, Sloane’s on the run, huh? Yeah, she took off when I took Jude back to Nicole and EJ. I should have never left her alone. No, it wasn’t your fault. You were in shock.

I did the right thing, taking that little bitch. Boy back to his real parents. What can we do for you right now? I just want to be alone. Um,

don’t worry, I’m not gonna drink. No one thought you were. When’s the last time you ate? Since I found out. Okay, well. We’ll get you some supper.

I’m sorry about all the questions. I promise you I didn’t invite you to dinner to interrogate you about my daughter’s love life. You’re a concerned dad. That’s I get it. I am a concerned dad. But I have to be careful that that concern doesn’t cross the line into interference. Stephanie really hates that.

As you can imagine. Yeah. Stefan’s lucky. You know, I really wish that my dad was still here. Giving me grief about my life choices. I miss him every day. I miss my homeboy Marcus too. And he would be so proud of you. You know that, right? Yeah, you’ve told me that more than once. And I’m going to keep on telling you.

And hey, if you want me to step into that role, I can grill you about your, uh, boyfriends, people you date, and give you unsolicited advice. I’m good. I will say one thing on the record. Ray Fernandez is a good guy. He’s a great guy. Yeah, he is. And he’s not just my boyfriend. He’s also my boss. So I need to hurry up and eat this and get back to work soon.

Go ahead. Hey, your bun is different than mine. Yeah, it’s gluten free. Why eat it if it doesn’t taste good? This brand does. You know, I told Roman about it when I was living up here. It’s the one good thing that, um, Rebecca Goldman did when she was at the PD. What’s that? Oh, she just told me about this, like, niche bakery that she found online.

And they sell these buns. Goldman has celiac disease, so it’s the only bread that she can eat. Is that right?

So you think that Weston and his girlfriend are the ones who downloaded the photos? Yeah, I reached out to a librarian here in town, I texted her the photos of both of them, and she was very happy to cooperate. Well, did they give a positive ID? She thinks it’s Goldman. Did she say she saw Clyde? No, and it’s no surprise that Clyde’s laying low given his high profile escape from Statesville.

Oh. I guess that makes sense. So the librarian, the woman she saw, she said, came in and out of the library a lot in the past few weeks to use the computer. Yeah, and Rafe got a tip from the APB that he put out that Clyde was spotted here some time back. Well, did the local police follow up? They said it was a false lead.

Maybe it was. Or maybe it wasn’t. Or maybe Clyde’s got the local police in his pocket like he does everybody else. Yeah, wouldn’t surprise me. But you know what? Either way, we can handle this without their involvement. Yeah. This town isn’t very big. If Clyde and Goldman are here, we’ll find them. It’s really not like Eric to go AWOL.

I mean, Marlena sounded really worried. I’m sure he’s okay.

Everything okay? You keep checking your phone, you kind of seem like, uh, you know, a little, uh, out of space. Is that why you wanted to meet here and not the spectator? Yeah, it is, actually. I didn’t want Everett to walk in on us. Why? Because of what happened with Eric? Were you afraid he’s gonna slug me in the face?

No, no. I’m, um, I’m worried about him in general. He’s just so unpredictable right now. Well, I thought we made it pretty clear that we’re just friends. We did. But But? Seth, come on, let’s go. Hit me with it.

Marlena thinks that Everett has DID. Oh. And I don’t want to violate his privacy, and it feels wrong to speculate about his or anyone’s mental health, but He’s acting so out of character lately. Like Katie and Eric? Yes. And Jada said that he came on to her in the holding cell. He insisted that he wasn’t Everett Lynch, that he was Robert Stein.

He was a totally different person. And then it was like someone flipped a switch and he went right back to being Everett again. So Bobby Stein isn’t, isn’t a pseudonym, it’s a, it’s a distinct identity. Right. I wish I would’ve, I wish I would’ve seen it sooner. None of us did. No, but I, I should’ve. Yeah. I mean, I went through it with Abby.

Why,

I can’t, I’m not even hungry. Honey, you’ll feel better if you eat something. No, I doubt that. Mom, will you just do me a favor and tell the rest of the family? Of course I will. Come on Harry, come eat. Food’s a weapon. Look, you and Nicole are good friends. And I’m sure she’s gonna find a way so you can still be part of that little boy’s life.

I can’t. Nicole and EJ are together and Judith Judith’s her son. I need to stay away. I have to stay away.

I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have brought this up. No, no, no, it’s fine. You weren’t even here when she was sick. But my parents filled me in. It wasn’t like it was a family secret. I know that she suffered from the same illness that Marlena thinks Everett has and that she would people. Yeah, Gabby and Dr Laura.

I also knew she made a full recovery. She did. Y was, I was very proud of h from the illness from D. I It was, yeah. Which Kind of makes me second guess my, uh, my position. On what?

Look, Steph, I know you’re not one to run away from trouble. But, you know, if Everett has DID, it’s gonna be a rough ride.

Are you sure you’re up for that?

Everett? Excuse me.

Dr. Evans? Hi. We’ve been looking all over for you. Who’s we? Stephanie. Me. I’ve been around, you know. I’ve just been walking around. Are you okay? I’ll be fine. You haven’t, uh, answered your phone. I’ve left you several messages. Stephanie has too. Yeah, well, um, I’m sorry. I lost battery this morning. I didn’t have a charger.

So why? What is so important? I want to talk to you about what happened last night.

So you think that Weston and his girlfriend are still here? Yeah, the librarian believes she saw Goldman this afternoon and she was printing out a lot of pages. Right, images from the book. Right. So how are we going to figure out where they’re staying? That’s tough. Yeah. Yeah, well, it’s not likely they’re staying on one of the motels given the demand for lodging here.

Oh, you mean because of trout season? Right. I mean, they probably have a place out in the woods somewhere. Well, Clyde is a country boy, you know, he’s from the Ozarks. Probably have no problem staying in the woods for a while, but we’re city folk man that puts him at a distinct advantage Don’t you think but he does send his girlfriend for errands?

So most likely she’s gonna have to come to town for food and supplies. We follow her. She leads us to Clyde Then what we turn him over to the FBI, right? When you said we were looking for a more permanent solution to the Clyde Weston problem Did you mean what I think you meant?

He tried to kill my son. Our son. He needs to pay.

That’s the plan.

And now I’ve got to get back to work. You know, Rafe wants me to take a look at Harris caseload in case there’s something immediate that needs my attention while he’s gone, doing whatever he’s doing. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Put your wallet away. Your money’s no good when you’re eating with me. That’s a rule with all my kids.

Are you sure? You know, Roman chart is extra for the gluten free buns. I don’t care. Surrogate Papa pays. Okay, Papa Steve. Well, thank you, and it was so great talking with you. You too. We should do this more often. Yeah. And we have to set a date for that dinner with you and Rafe, huh? Oh, we do. We’ll do that soon, okay?

Definitely. Yeah. Well, tell Kayla I said hi and give her a big hug for me. I will. Okay. Now you give me a big hug. No, no, no. Bye. Oh, babe. Okay. Okay. Bye bye.

Okay.

Alright, Ava. Harris. Thanks to Jada, I might have an idea how to find you.

We’ve gone over this, haven’t we? I went out with Stephanie and Leo to blow off some steam. We went to a bar, I had a few too many drinks, I blacked out, you know? Which is why you don’t remember punching Eric. I don’t.

Excuse me.

Eric, hi. Um, I owe you a huge apology. Look, I don’t remember exactly what happened last night, okay? I might have blacked out a little bit. But, from what I understand, I think, I, I, I owe you an apology. I assume that because I saw you and Sloane fighting, I, I misunderstood what you were doing, alright? I thought you were trying to hurt her.

Which, by all accounts, doesn’t make any sense, because apparently, you’re a great guy, and, and she’s your wife and you love her. So, anyway, I’m, I’m sorry. I want you to know I’m, I’m sorry. Eric? Eric? I got this. Okay. What, did, did I say something wrong? No, he’s not upset with you. I every right to be. Well, John will take care of her.

Right now I want to talk about you. Look, I know that you’re concerned about losing time. And I know that I’m not your therapist anymore, but I would like to help you with that. Would you let me?

Look, I know it must be very challenging dealing with someone who’s mentally ill. Yeah, you really have no idea until you live with it. Right. I get that. I have a history with Everett. I care about him. So How can I just turn my back on him? Especially knowing he’s not well. I mean, it just abandoned him because he’s got this terrible illness.

Wouldn’t it be the more honorable way to go to show him support? To help him get the help he needs? Sure, if he wants the help. He went to Marlena for therapy. Yeah, but then he decided he didn’t need it. From what you said. Look, I know from, I know from personal experience that there can be A ton of resistance when it comes to DID.

Everett may, may want help, sure. But for Bobby Stein? It might take a hell of a lot for him to admit that there is a problem.

Abigail was lucky you were there for her. Yeah, I wasn’t there for her enough. Why do you say that?

She’s not here, is she? Chad, you’ve gotta stop blaming yourself.

I’m gonna say to you again what I’ve said to you many times before. What Julian has said, what everyone who cares about you has said, Clyde Weston is the only one responsible for Abigail’s death. And I’ll be brought to hell.

So, pretty small cop. Well, I’m a small guy, so it’ll work. Beats my bunk at Statesville, or my bed at the monastery. That was the worst bed ever. I hated that. Anyway, um, while we wait for info on Clive, maybe we should, I don’t know, get something to eat or something? What do you think? Yeah, I think our options here are going to be pretty limited, you know?

And I think everyone goes to bed here early, so. Oh, great. Well, desperate times call for desperate measures. Look what I got from the airport. Uh, this is elk jerky. This is really good. Come on. We can all share it. No, I don’t have anything. Portion. Come on, Harrison. No, I’m going to hold off on the elk jerky.

Um, saw a gas station at the edge of town. I think they had a convenience store. Oh, right. I saw the signs. They had guns. And, uh, ammo. And fireworks. And bait. Oh, guys, but I had bait for lunch. Oh, yeah. I’m sure they have something else that’s edible. Should we check it out? Yeah, we might as well. Alright, you know what?

Why don’t you guys go and I’ll just stay here and hold down the fort. Okay, just be careful. You be careful. Watch out for bears. I think the bears need to watch out for him. We’ll be fast.

Yeah, hello? Ava. Steve. How’d you find me? Well, that’s what I do for a living. I find people who don’t want to be found. So listen, you know, service at the pub has really slacked off since you decided to take a few days off to deal with personal business. Coincidentally, Harris, uh, took some time off to do the same thing.

You want to tell me what that was? Well, it’s called personal business because, well It’s personal. I know you’re both in Montana to look for Clyde Weston. And I’m coming out there to join you.

Look, I appreciate you offering to help, but, you know, Harris and I have got this. Uh, I’m not so sure about that. And as I said, I’m pretty good at finding people who don’t want to be found. So is Harris. Well, I think he would appreciate some assistance. You’re acting like you don’t trust me. Oh, it’s not an act, Ava.

You lie to me so much. And you just lied to John and me when you enlisted us to break Clyde Weston out of prison. I did what I needed to do to save my son. Our son. You’re not going to talk me out of this. I’m coming out there. Steve, this is a small town. You know that Clyde’s got eyes and ears everywhere.

You know, he’s probably got the local police already in his pocket. So if you and John show up here, that’s going to increase the chances of him being tipped off. That we are already on his trail. Come on. Look, I know. I know that you do not trust me, and I get that. It’s fine, alright? But you can trust Harris.

He’s just like you. He always does the right thing. Well, I have no problem trusting Harris. But, uh, you know, you have a tendency to get people to do things they wouldn’t have otherwise done. So let me do this. Okay? Let me do this for Tripp, for Wendy, for Abigail, for all the people that Clyde has hurt. Okay.

But you have to keep me in the loop, starting right now. Do you have any leads? Someone saw Goldman in town. Good. When? Today. Okay, so you find her, lead you straight to Weston. Yeah, that’s the plan. I think I can help with that. I found out that Rebecca Goldman only eats one brand of gluten free bread. Yeah, well, she’s going to have a hard time finding anything like that out here.

Well, that’s what I thought, but I found out that that company ships their product all over the world. You call the business? Yeah. They have a weekly shipment to a P. O. box in Ennis, Montana. And the first shipment went out to a Faith Silvers a week after Clyde Weston broke out of prison. Dammit, Steve, why did you wait so long to tell me?

When is the next shipment scheduled to arrive? Tomorrow. Okay. I’ll tell Harris. Ava, be careful. I don’t want to see Chip get his heart broken if something happens to his mother. I don’t want you coming home in a body bag. Yeah, well Don’t you worry, Steve.

You know that I can take care of myself. Okay. Goodbye for now. And you keep me in the loop. Yeah, I promise I will.

Don’t worry, Steve. The only person coming home from Montana in a body bag He’s Clyde. Hey babe, what’s up? How’d it go with dinner? You eatin something? I, I think we did good. Yeah, so they did have something at the convenience store, huh? Oh yeah, they had a great selection. Yeah, I hope you’re ready for slushies and flaming hot cheese puffs.

Oh wow, well, my mouth is just watering thinking about it. There you go. Digging it up. I’m sorry about that. The last thing I want is an apology from Everett. Hey, I get it. I get that. I’m just trying to wrap my head around the fact that Jude is Nicole’s baby. I know when

you were about this tall. I had to give you and Sammy back to Roman. So I sort of know what you’re You’re going through right now. And you two were just little squirts and I had you for years. No, but speaking for myself, By still staying in your life. By still loving you even though you weren’t mine. Over the, over the years that pain just kind of went away.

I’m glad you made that choice back then. I’m glad I could have you now. You can make that choice for Jude right now. No, I’m not sure about that. Why? What are you worried about? EJ won’t allow it? I mean, that’s part of it, mostly. It’s the last thing that I want to do is make Nicole’s life any harder. I appreciate you looking out for me, Dr.

Evans, but I think I’ve made myself very clear. I do not want your help. We’re worried about you, Everett. And Stephanie paid your bail. You haven’t even called her. I told you. My phone died. We both know that’s not true.

We also both know that there’s something that’s not right with you. And I think you’re afraid to talk to anybody that might confirm that. This conversation is over. Please stay away from me.

Dr. Evans, hello. I just ran into Everett, in the square. Did he say where he’s been? Uh, no, it’s pretty clear that he’s been avoiding people. He, he walked into the Salem Inn. How is he? Oh, well, he did apologize to Eric. Uh, but then I told him how concerned we all were about him, and he got really upset.

Agitated. So he’s still refusing help? Yeah, it seems that way. Look, I would like to meet with, uh, with you and, um, Stephanie and see if we can’t create an intervention. Whatever you think we can do to help Everett, I’m in.

Yeah, Everett’s lucky to have you in his corner. I know, uh, I know he doesn’t have much of a support system. He doesn’t. I feel kind of bad for being a jerk to him in the beginning. Maybe I should have taken the higher road. You apologized for that and he forgave you. Well, you know, if you’re going to be there for Everett, I want you to know that I will be there for you.

Thank you, Chad. It’s Jada. Everett’s okay. Well, that’s good news. Yeah, it is. She also texted that. Marlena wants to stage an intervention. Okay. Alright. Well, if you need any help, you let me know. I will. Thank you, Chad. Thank you for listening and um, for caring. Of course. Back at you. Bye.

Steve. Any leads on where Clyde is? I don’t know. I can’t tell you anything yet, Chad. Except that Harris Michaels is on the case. And I’m confident that he’s gonna bring Weston back. Dead? Or alive?

I don’t think I have to tell you which one I prefer.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Claire: Are you mom-spying? Is that what this is?

Victoria: Maybe. I am a little. Cute and healthy recipes for kids. That’s an interesting search choice.

Claire: I didn’t get a chance to tell you last night. You’re looking at harrison abbott’s new nanny.

Victoria: Oh, I am?

Claire: Summer changed her mind. She decided to give me a trial run. Hence my search for adorable snacks.

Victoria: That’s wonderful. You should be proud.

Claire: I’m really excited. Harrison’s the best and I’m really grateful for this opportunity.

Victoria: Is there something else?

Claire: It’s all a little bit nerve-wracking. Small kid means big responsibility. Summer’s been wary of me. So she’s gonna keep a very close eye on me.

Victoria: She has no reason to doubt your abilities.

Claire: I really wanna earn her trust. Make a good impression. Really just be the best nanny ever.

Victoria: You’ll be great. You will do all of that without putting so much pressure on yourself.

Claire: You’re my mother, don’t you have to say that?

Victoria: No, I mean it. Look, you’re very smart. You’re capable. Just follow your instincts. Everything will fall into place. Hello. Hi.

Cole: Hey, hey.

Victoria: Hi cole, come in, I-

Cole: Hey.

Victoria: This is a surprise.

Victor: Hi sweetheart.

Victoria: Seeing the two of you here together. Hi, good morning!

Cole: Ah, nice to see you. I’m glad you’re here, both of you.

Claire: Yeah, it’s great to see you too. But what’s up with the drop by? Is everything all right?

Victor: Have you seen your mother?

Victoria: No, not since this morning. Has something happened?

Victor: There’s some news regarding jordan.

Jack: Hi there.

Nikki: Jack, is now a bad time?

Jack: No, no, no. Come on in, come on in. I just didn’t expect to see you so soon. You look wonderful.

Nikki: Thanks. I just got back yesterday. I finished my initial treatment at the rehab facility and they approved me for outpatient care. So I’m home.

Jack: Well, that’s great news. Sounds like you’ve made real progress.

Nikki: I still have a ways to go, but I will get there.

Jack: Yes, you will. I have no doubt about it. And you look terrific. You look rested and strong and it’s all over your face.

Nikki: Well, it wasn’t easy to go away, but it was necessary. I realized that I needed more significant help.

Jack: I’m glad you made that choice for yourself.

Nikki: I didn’t get there on my own. You helped me get there. You are the reason why I am back on the right path.

Chelsea: Adam, I’m almost ready. I just have to– hi, it’s you.

Billy: It’s me.

Chelsea: What are you doing here? Oh, I’m so happy to see you. But you were away on business. I didn’t expect you back so soon.

Billy: Well, I cut my trip short because you’re more important. Wanted to see you before you head off to see connor.

Chelsea: That’s so sweet.

Billy: Mm-hmm. Thought you could use a little extra encouragement and support.

Chelsea: Well, you didn’t have to drop everything and fly home for me. We were calling and texting every day. You could’ve reassured me over the phone.

Billy: Yeah, that’s true. But I can’t do this over the phone.

Sally: Morning.

Adam: Oh, man. You just ruined my brilliant plan.

Sally: Sorry.

Adam: I was gonna bring you up coffee and pastries. Give you the breakfast in bed treatment.

Sally: Well, aren’t you just the best host? Were you able to get back to sleep last night?

Adam: Eventually, yeah. Thanks for staying up with me.

Sally: You’re worried about your son. It’s understandable.

Adam: Having you here makes things easier. With you around, everything’s better. Um, but now that you’re awake, we can have some breakfast.

Sally: Uh, wait a minute. I think we should talk about your offer. Auntie, you can’t put that right in the dishwasher. Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Adam: Look, about last night, I hope that I did not put too much pressure on you when I asked you to move in with me.

Sally: I mean, it is a big step.

Adam: I know. And, you know, if it’s– it’s too much pressure, I completely understand. You know, it as kinda spur the moment.

Sally: So, what are you– what are you saying? That you changed your mind? You don’t want me to live with you?

Adam: Look, I don’t know what you’re thinking. So I will just be honest with you. I do want you to move in. It’s been on my mind for a while. But first and foremost, I want you to be happy. So if this is not what you want, just say it.

Sally: Okay, okay, okay. I’m gonna put you out of your misery.

Adam: Please.

Sally: My answer is yes. I will move in with you.

Adam: You will?

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Are you sure?

Sally: Yes, yes. I’m ready. I’m ready, and– and I think it’s time.

Adam: Oh, thank god. Oh, thank god.

Billy: So how’s your head right now?

Chelsea: Uh, kind of all over the place. This is the first time we’re gonna see connor since he went to the facility. I mean, we attempted to before, but it was a complete disaster.

Billy: But he’s in a better headspace now, and he’s ready to see you in person.

Chelsea: Yeah, that’s what he says.

Billy: Great.

Chelsea: That’s what he says. And, um, the doctors agree. So we’re gonna meet with him in a controlled environment to make sure he feels safe and secure.

Billy: Sounds like a recipe for success.

Chelsea: I hope so. I’m just torn. I– part of me feels hopeful. The other part feels absolutely terrified.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you’ve been through a lot. All of you have, especially connor. And I just wanna be here to help in any way I can.

Chelsea: Well, just being here with you right now, it’s everything.

Billy: If the best thing I can do is hold your hand and tell you that you got this, then that’s what I’ll do. You got this, chels.

Nikki: We didn’t get a chance to talk before I went away about what happened in the hotel suite.

Jack: Yeah, it was one hell of a night, wasn’t it?

Nikki: Are you all right? Please tell me that you haven’t used since then.

Jack: Yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine. Honest. Gone to a few meetings, checked in with myself. No urge to take pills.

Nikki: Oh, thank god. I have gone over that night so many times. My mind, my spiral. How cruel I was to you.

Jack: Nuh-huh.

Nikki: And ultimately what you did to finally wake me up.

Jack: It was a calculated risk.

Nikki: You sacrificed your sobriety for mine.

Jack: I was desperate. I would’ve done anything to save you.

Nikki: Well, jack, what you did was very dangerous and you went too far.

Jack: Believe me, I have done my share of soul searching on that. And I’ve had to admit that my actions were too extreme. Things could’ve gone very differently.

Nikki: Oh, my god. When you passed out, it was like my whole world stopped. I– I was frozen in time. But I guess it took that to make me realize how far you had gone to bring me back from the brink.

Jack: I honestly thought I’d lost you.

Nikki: Well, what you did was the stupidest and bravest thing anybody has ever done for me.

Jack: Well, you’ve done the courageous part now. You dug deep, got yourself out of that hole. You went to rehab. You’re doing the work now.

Nikki: And I will continue to. I can’t afford to be cavalier. I’m still an alcoholic. I always will be. But I’m better than I was, thanks to you.

Jack: And this outpatient treatment’s working for you?

Nikki: So far, yes. But I still need a sponsor. I hope it’s not too much to ask that that still be you.

[]

Jack: I am here for whatever you need. You need me to be your sponsor, that’s what I will be.

Nikki: You have been my rock. I don’t know what I would do without you.

Jack: You’re one of the strongest people I know. You’re strong, you’re smart, you’re kind, you’re loyal. Is it any wonder everyone’s so devoted to you?

Nikki: Well, even though I don’t deserve it.

Jack: No, give yourself more credit than that. Every time you’re knocked down, you end up stronger.

Nikki: Thanks to you. And I am so grateful, more than you’ll ever know. Hi, victor. All right, I’ll be there soon. Bye, darling. I am needed at the ranch.

Jack: Okay, go, um… call me if you need anything.

Nikki: Thank you, jack. Thank you so much for everything.

Jack: Here.

Nikki: Ooh, diane, nice to see you.

Diane: You too, nikki. Glad you’re looking so well.

Nikki: Thank you. You two have a good day.

Jack: Well, that was a surprise. Nikki’s home. She’s in outpatient treatment.

Diane: With you as her sponsor? Why would you agree to that without talking to me first?

Jack: Because I didn’t think you would have any objection.

Diane: Oh, really? Or did you think I’d just let it slide?

Jack: Wait, diane–

Diane: No, no, the facts haven’t changed. Your role in nikki’s sobriety caused you to risk your own.

Jack: That’s the past. It won’t happen again.

Diane: That’s right, it won’T. Otherwise, you and i are going to have a problem.

Adam: I present to you your keys with a little stylish button for decoration because fashion is your thing.

Sally: Well, that is adorable. Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And if there’s something you don’t like, poof, it is gone. Okay? Bring in new pillows, lamps, whatever you like. Okay, you wanna paint? Just have at it. You want new wallpaper? Okay, fine.

Sally: I– I really don’t think that’s necessary. I really love this place as is.

Adam: Hey, I mean, I live with a designer now who has impeccable taste. So I want this place to be yours. It’s our home. Together.

Sally: Wow, I haven’t had many places I could call home.

Adam: Oh, we can build one. Welcome home, baby.

Nikki: Hey, I got here as soon as I could. What’s going on?

Victor: Hello, sweetheart. Come here. Um, there’s something I have to tell all of you. Please sit down.

Nikki: Victor, please just tell us what has happened.

Victor: I was informed by my security team that they found jordan on the banks of the garewood river. And cole was there when they told me.

Nikki: Thank god.

Victor: Apparently, she was barely breathing. In other words, she was alive.

Nikki: What?

Victoria: No, it can’t be. Well, where is she now?

Victor: They took her into custody. And apparently, she was just spewing nonsense, babbling. Taken her in for mental and physical examination.

Cole: With maximum security measures in place.

Claire: We thought we were free of her, but all this time she’s still been out there.

Victoria: Mom, are you okay?

Nikki: I had assumed that she was gone forever, that she could never be a threat to us again.

Victor: And she won’T. I don’t want you to worry about that, okay? Really, don’T.

Victoria: I’m grateful that she’s in custody, but–

Claire: But she’s found a way out before.

Cole: Well, the authorities are fully aware of the danger she’s capable of. She’s been sent to the highest maximum security prison there is.

Victor: By the way, that’s from a place that no one has ever escaped from.

Nikki: You know, there’s something very strange about this.

Victor: What?

Nikki: You said that she was chased by your men and fell into the river.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: So how did she survive that fall? And how did she stay alive all this time? Your heart is the beat of life.

Adam: Hey, I didn’t know you were back in town. Chelsea told me you were gone on business.

Billy: I was, but I know that you’re gonna see connor, so I wanted to be here to support chelsea.

Adam: Ah, that’s very generous of you.

Billy: Well, chelsea said that you’ve been a big support while I’ve been gone. You’ve been reasonable and steadfast and determined.

Adam: It’s a big surprise coming from me, huh?

Billy: Guess what I’m trying to say is good on you, adam.

Adam: Well, thank you. We’re gonna get through this together.

Chelsea: That’s the plan. I guess we should go, huh?

Adam: Yeah, the, uh, jet’s all fueled up.

Chelsea: Okay, please tell victor I said thank you again.

Adam: I’ll give you two a minute.

Chelsea: Oh, you know, you’re pretty wonderful, you know that?

Billy: Well, you can tell me that when you get back. Right now, you focus on your son.

Chelsea: I really believe sending him to this facility was the best thing for him. I do.

Billy: Good. You trust that feeling, okay? And just know that you’re on the right trajectory and that you need me for anything at all, let me know, okay? I’m always here for you no matter what.

Chelsea: Thank you.

Billy: Okay. Have a good flight.

Chelsea: Okay.

Victor: How did jordan survive? Well, I would say out of pure evil, as she always has.

Nikki: She should be at the bottom of the river. On second thought, drowning is too good for her. I would prefer for her to suffer.

Cole: Well, jordan will spend the rest of her life in prison with no power, no control.

Claire: Till she rallies and tries to come after us again.

Victor: It’s not gonna happen, okay? She will never bother our family again.

Nikki: I pray you’re right.

Victor: I assure you that jordan will not cause any more damage.

Chloe: Any updates?

Sally: Um, unfortunately, no.

Chloe: Well, I guess it would be a long shot to hope for victor to go along with adam’s plan to help us out. I mean, listen to me. I can’t believe I thought that victor newman would rescue us.

Sally: Chloe, this isn’t easy for me to say. But I think we have reached the end of the line.

Chloe: What? No, no, no, no, no, no. We just haven’t found a solution yet. But we will. I– I know we will. It’s– it’s there somewhere.

Sally: I don’t think so. I mean, we’ve exhausted all of our options and we’ve turned over every rock.

Chloe: Yeah, but we’ve always come across setbacks and then we always figure it out. I mean, besides, neither of us have anything lined up. So, I mean, we might as well stick it out.

Sally: That’s the thing, um… so, I’m sure that you have heard that chelsea is taking a leave of absence from marchetti.

Chloe: Yeah, yeah. Chelsea told me that she wants to spend more time with connor.

Sally: Exactly. So, adam spoke with chelsea and chelsea’s gonna put in a word with summer for me to see if I can take over for her while chelsea is gone in the interim.

Chloe: Oh, wow, um… okay, so you didn’t think to maybe have a discussion with me first about this, your partner?

Sally: It all happened so fast. I– I reached out to you as soon as I could.

Chloe: Okay, so did summer make you an offer?

Sally: No, and– and she probably won’T. I mean, she doesn’t like me with good reason. So, she probably doesn’t want me to be the creative director.

Chloe: It’s possible, though. Or we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Sally: Look, the role would be temporary just until chelsea feels ready to come back.

Chloe: But if summer offered it to you, you would take it and leave me behind. Oh. Wait, what’s– what’s with the bag?

Sally: I am moving in with adam.

Chloe: I’m sorry, I just– this day just keeps getting better and better.

Billy: Hey, mom.

Jill: Billy, where are you?

Billy: Uh, I’m at the office. I– I got back into town just now. What’s going on?

Jill: Uh, I should’ve made it clear that this is a personal conversation.

Billy: Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t know. I just– I wanted to get back to you as soon as possible.

Jill: Are devon and lily around?

Billy: No, they’re in a meeting. They actually don’t know that I’m back yet. We have privacy, if that’s what you’re asking. Is everything all right?

Jill: There’s something you need to know. It ain’t my dad’s razor, dad.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Jack: Clearly, I’ve upset you. That was never my intention.

Diane: I have tried to make the best of this situation between you and nikki. And I had concerns when you first agreed to be her sponsor, but I kept my mouth shut because I know how important it is to you.

Jack: Nikki is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I want to help her.

Diane: And you have made that perfectly clear. Even though you know how hard it was for me to accept that you put your life in danger for her. Jack, you took pills and you could’ve died. All because you were trying to save nikki.

Jack: That was one moment, one night.

Diane: No, no. She takes up so much of your time and energy. And– and I have tried to be the bigger person, but you are making this very difficult for me.

Jack: That was never my intention.

Diane: No, it’s too much. You gambled with your addiction and you could’ve died. Why? Why would you take that chance again?

Jack: You saw nikki just now. She’s doing better. She is. She’s stronger. She’s more herself. I saw it.

Diane: Well, I’m glad she went to rehab and I’m glad she’s improving. That’s wonderful. But there’s no guarantee it’ll stay that way.

Jack: No, I think it’s gonna be different this time.

Diane: Yeah, but what if it’s not? What if she slips? What are you going to do? Are you gonna call up your dealer and risk everything to pull her back from the edge again?

Jack: No, I have promised you that’s not going to happen again. I just finished telling nikki my actions were extreme.

Diane: But in your mind it worked, right? You accomplished your goal. You got nikki to wake up and set herself straight.

Jack: I can’t say I am disappointed with how it turned out.

Diane: That’s fine. But as your wife, you need to know what your decision to be her sponsor again is doing to me. Because I don’t know if it’s something I can live with.

Victoria: Is there anything else that we don’t know?

Victor: No, my darling, you know everything that’s important. So, as far as I’m concerned, you’re all safe.

Claire: Thank you, grandpa.

Victor: I’m sorry, but there’s something I need to take care of. My darling, you need me, you call, okay?

Nikki: Oh, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.

Victor: My baby. Okay, you two.

Victoria: Bye, dad.

Victoria: So, you were with dad when he got the news about jordan. Did you see her alive?

Cole: I did.

Claire: How was she?

Cole: She looked weak, worn out, just a shell of her former self.

Claire: I guess after everything she went through, being in the river for that long.

Nikki: Do you think she could’ve been faking?

Cole: No, no, no. She, uh, she was definitely broken, defeated. It was over.

Claire: I can’t even picture her defeated. But I guess she brought it on herself.

Cole: The bottom line is that none of you should be afraid. We don’t need to worry about her anymore.

Victoria: You know, every time that we think that jordan is out of our lives, she proves us wrong. She escaped from prison, she escaped from the hospital, and now somehow she’s cheated death?

Cole: Well, I totally understand your fears. I would feel the same way if I hadn’t seen her myself. My aunt will never harm anyone again.

Billy: Mom, what’s going on? Is– is everything okay?

Jill: I’ve, um, had some issues with my health. You know, little things. You know, like my heart beating too fast and difficulty in breathing. Just some lightheadedness.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s a little worrisome given your heart attack you had a few years ago.

Jill: Yeah, I felt the same way. So I went to the doctor and, um… and there are some complications, billy.

Billy: Okay. What does that mean exactly?

Jill: I don’t wanna get into it.

Billy: Okay, well, you’re gonna have to give me something, all right? Because you’re telling me that– that you’re not well and I don’t know what to do, so–

Jill: I’m in london now with snapper and he’s overseeing my treatment.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s good. Um… I mean, is this serious, mom? I just have to take it easy and avoid stress. Honestly, snapper is being as irritating as hell. He’s just hovering over me like a mother hen.

Billy: Okay, well, it sounds like he’s being a good brother. Um, I mean, is this– is there a significant risk here?

Jill: Well, if I’m not careful, things could get worse. Yeah, they could… get much worse, but I am not going to let that happen.

[Billy sighs]

Billy: You know, when you told me that you were stepping away, I thought something was up because that doesn’t sound like you. I got a bad feeling in my gut.

Jill: Oh, for god’s sake, your gut doesn’t know anything. Nothing is gonna happen to me. I won’t let it. Darling, don’t you get sentimental or scared on me. You hear?

Billy: Yeah, I hear you. Um, is this the type of situation that has a prognosis?

Jill: I won’t bore you with the opinions of others or statistics. Just know this, my son. I am confident that I can take this on.

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Victoria: You know, there is nothing online about jordan being found, at least not yet.

Claire: I should tell summer and kyle about this. Don’t you think they should– they should know, for harrison’s sake?

Victoria: Mom, claire has some wonderful news. Kyle and summer have hired her to be harrison’s nanny.

Nikki: Really? How wonderful.

Cole: Congratulations, sweetheart. Well deserved.

Claire: It’s just a trial for now. Today’s actually my first day.

Nikki: Ah, I’m so happy for you. And harrison is a lucky little boy.

Claire: Well, I was really excited about it before, but now with this news about jordan, I…

Cole: Hey, don’t let that ruin your excitement.

Nikki: This is quite an accomplishment for you. Savor this moment. It’s the beginning of a whole new chapter for you.

Chloe: Well, this is unbelievable. How long has this been in the works with you and adam?

Sally: He just asked me to move in yesterday. But this feels like the next step for us.

Chloe: Swell.

Sally: Look, we all know how you feel about him, but this really feels like a good thing.

Chloe: Fine. Fine, I… I’m not going to say anything about adam. I’m not gonna warn you off of him ’cause we know how that has worked before. So I, um, I hope that your living arrangement is not awful.

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: Okay, but, I’m sorry, but I just need to be a little selfish right now. So if our company goes under and you go to marchetti, what happens to me?

Sally: We will figure something out. I won’t leave you in the lurch.

Chloe: Well, sorry, honey, but you already have. I mean, I don’t know if I can go to marchetti. I burned that bridge with summer when I quit.

Sally: Yes, but if I am the creative director, I will fight for you. You are an asset to any company.

Chloe: I mean, do I even wanna go back there? It wasn’t a good fit.

Sally: But maybe it’ll be the perfect fit if I’m there.

Chloe: You don’t even know if you have the job. So if our company dissolves… I’m sorry, but I can’t base my whole future on hypotheticals.

Sally: Yeah, I understand.

Chloe: And have you even talked to nick? I mean, does he– does he know that he might lose his entire investment?

Sally: Not yet, but I will. Look, I will get all of this sorted.

Chloe: Have you thought this through at all? Have you seriously considered that you are going to throw away a company, the one that we have built from the ground up?

Sally: We’re still a team, chloe. That doesn’t need to change.

Chloe: No! No, if this is happening, then I’m on my own.

Billy: I’ll never doubt your ability to pummel anything into submission, including heart disease.

Jill: Correct answer.

Billy: Okay, so what do we do now?

Jill: Just keep this to yourself. I don’t want anyone else to know.

Billy: Yeah, of course, but what else? I mean, I know you’re there with– with snapper, but I’ll come and see you. I can leave tonight.

Jill: Don’t be stupid, sweetheart. You need to stay put and manage the company.

Billy: Mom, that doesn’t matter right now, okay? You’re the most important thing, and you’re telling me that you’re not well.

Jill: I’m well enough, thank you. And it’s far too messy there for you to just walk away. Your job is to protect chancellor-winters from outside threats. Protect its legacy, billy.

Billy: Yeah, I can do that. But I’m not gonna do it for chancellor’s legacy, okay? I’m gonna protect the abbott legacy. Your legacy. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Jill: I’m glad you understand the importance. Look out for the company. I need you fully on board.

Billy: I won’t let you down.

Jill: Oh, and let’s be clear. This is not forever. I will be back. And when I am, I expect to find the company stronger than ever with you in charge and mamie gone.

Billy: I got this.

Jill: I’m counting on you.

Billy: Well, just promise me that you’re gonna keep me in the loop, okay? You let me know about your treatment. Okay? You can promise me that, right? And, uh, you need me, you just let me know and I’ll– I’ll come see you.

Jill: Thank you. I’m proud of you, billy. And I love you, my son.

Billy: I love you too, mom. You don’t worry about this place, okay? Because I’m just getting started. You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Sally: I swear, we will work something out. I won’t leave you behind.

Chloe: You’re on your own track. Totally separate from mine. You’ve got adam and a potential job with summer and you don’t need me.

Sally: That is not true.

Cloe: So, um, I guess this partnership is considered over, right? Well, thank you for the opportunity. Um, really, it’s been great. This has been fun.

Sally: Chloe, please!

Chloe: No, really. It’s no hard feelings. Okay, I wish you the best with adam. And, um, I sincerely hope he doesn’t break your heart.

Jack: Look, I realize you’re upset. I’m just telling you this is a non-issue.

Diane: You’re not hearing me, jack. I don’t even understand why this is up for debate. You shouldn’t be nikki’s sponsor. And I would think that the professionals at her rehab would’ve told her that.

Jack: Nikki is free to choose her own sponsor.

Diane: Oh, right. And she chooses you. And– and you feel justified in continuing because your stupid plan worked and no one died this time.

Jack: Do you think I’m choosing nikki over you? That is not what this is.

Diane: What am I supposed to think? When– when you’ve chosen to be her sponsor again, when you know how I feel about it.

Jack: I am torn. I– I do not wanna let you down. But you’re asking me to abandon a lifelong friend. It’s not an obligation I can easily walk away from.

Diane: Jack, I don’t think I can get past this. And I don’t think you realize how serious I am. This is about trust. This is about our relationship. This is about our marriage. And you and I are, we’re looking at things so differently right now in a way that I never, ever expected. And I don’t know how we’re going to survive this.

Cole: Where do you want these?

Victor: Uh, put them there for the time being.

Cole: You sure about this?

Victor: Well, cole, we have no other choice, you know.

Cole: We did the right thing, victor.

Victor: Yeah. All right. Let’s go. We lock this down here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. Good morning. Want some coffee, or are you gonna go back to bed? Uh, coffee. I have to meet my brother, and I don’t want to be late. Well, I’m sure he’ll understand. Uh, no, it’s not like that. I have to support him. I need to make sure he doesn’t feel guilty or alone or whatever he felt yesterday that had him reaching for a bottle. Look, finn’s grieving. Okay? And — and he’s not just grieving the loss of your dad. He’s also grieving the time he stayed away. He’s gonna feel what he’s gonna feel. And you think I should just let him feel it? There’s no stopping it. Look, you can reach out, offer your support. I know finn would really appreciate that. I’m so sorry about your dad. I know he meant a lot to you, too.

[ Sighs ] Come in. Thanks. You just get back? Yeah, 10 minutes ago. I wanted to get here before you did because I, uh — I made some coffee, and if you — I figured you’d want that. And while we’re waiting, I thought maybe we could talk. How did things go in albany? I want to talk about your dad.

[ Crying ] I’m so sad. I’m so sad that I missed the wedding.

[ Sighs ] You know, um… it wasn’t perfect, but it was close. There was A… there was a moment where I didn’t think my dad was, uh, gonna be able to finish the wedding. Yeah. But then tracy and violet — they got him back on track and… he just willed himself through the rest of the ceremony and… it was beautiful. I know how much that would have meant to him. I do, and I’m so glad that his last day was beautiful. I am. -Hey. -Ooh. Thank you. -This one’s for you. -Thank you. And thank you so much for meeting me. As soon as ava gets here, we can head out, and then we can check out those apartment listings. Of course. Yeah. Um, but I thought you had the day off. Yeah, I don’t know. All I know what happened was that ava called me. She wanted me to open up. She said that there was an emergency meeting at “crimson.” These deception ads are gorgeous. Yeah, the camera really loves blaze. I can’t wait to run them. Be careful, maxie. Integrity isn’t nina’s strong suit. Not that that’s news. Madison! Oh, she’s not at her desk. She couldn’t have stopped me anyway. Note to self — buy madison a taser. Ava! As you can see, we are busy. So how about you go out there, make an appointment for, I don’t know, next millennium? I’d be happy to see you then. You’ll see me now. You broke our deal. I wanna know why. Hi, boss. [ Chuckles ] Come in. Well, I’m not hereon business, so you can just call me mr. Cain. Oh. Sir, yes, sir. Ha, ha! Is michael around? There’s something I want to run by him. So this isn’t entirely a social call? Nope. Not entirely. It was michael’s turn to run wiley to school. But he’ll be back soon if you’d like to wait. Happy to. Great. Coffee? Always. But what I really need from you is… I need your opinion on something. About what? Well, there’s something that I want to run by you, but you gotta promise that you’re not going to tell the rest of the quartermaines.


For the apartments… mm-hmm. …Location-wise I’m thinking around pcu, but does that work for you?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I-I haven’t decided whether or not. I’m going back after my semester off. But if I do, I’m done with dorm life. It just — it reminds me too much of spencer. Well, I hear you there.

[ Chuckles ] And to be honest, I’m pretty tired of drunk people no, yeah. In our halls at all hours of every day… …and the cafeteria food. And I’m tired of smelling everybody’s takeout, and it’s coming through our walls. Yeah, and just the noise of other people in general.

[ Chuckles ] What? Nothing, except… I don’t think you are in a position to be complaining about other people’s noises when you made your fair share of noise yourself. Right. I did not. Because you only made those noises at dex’s house.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] Okay, okay. Uh, you know what? It — it doesn’t even matter now. So when was the last time you ran into dex? At the wedding. So how was it? Um, it was surprisingly good. Mm. Yeah. My parents told me that it was really beautiful. Yeah, it was. And so was the reception… right up until sonny attacked dex. I am not sure what deal you are referring to, but you are more than welcome to forward a copy to my assistant. You know very well what deal. You promised me that you would devote two pages to the U.S. Debut of harriet nekaya at the gallery. Oh, now I recall that discussion. Yes. The assistant editor that you lobbied lobbied me, and I had every intention of including it. Then why isn’t it in here? Space. Space? You see the size of this magazine? Of course I see it. I published. Then how is it possible there isn’t any space? Like I said, ava, I have every intention of putting her in the magazine. But in this issue, I needed to make space for something a little bit more timely. Like what? Like an in-depth profile on an exciting new charity initiative that my daughter’s involved in.

[ Scoffs ] Willow doesn’t even talk to you. Since you and i aren’t friends anymore, how could you possibly know what’s going on between me and my daughter? Or a gentleman friend that I may or may not be seeing? Let me guess. I wouldn’t know him, right? He lives in canada.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I would love to stand here and dish with my bestie, but since you put a knife in my back, that’s not you, so how about you leave and report back to sonny? You know something, nina? I think it’s really sad that your head trip as — as queen of crimson is all you have left in your… little life.

[ Sighs ] That was nuts. Right? I mean, she was

way out of line. Yeah, she was definitely out of line, but I was talking about you. Me?! Nina, why would you antagonize ava jerome like that? So, I happen to know that congressman mcconkey is not gonna be running for reelection next fall. And I met with mcconkey recently and… he’s urging me to run for his seat, which means — wait, wait, wait, wait. I just want to make sure I understand. Larry mcconkey wants you to run for his seat in congress? Yeah, that’s what he said. I mean, I haven’t fully wrapped my mind around this yet. Are you going to do it? You would be perfect! Took violet to school. When I got home, I found my dad had… passed in his sleep. But I don’t think he felt any pain. Well, at least that was a blessing. Uh-huh. Then I called 911, and they took forever. And while I was waiting, I… I looked over and I saw this — this bottle of bourbon, this gift from the cerullos that they gave to me at the rehearsal dinner. And I was gonna give it away. Instead, I drank a third of it. Okay. You don’t seem entirely surprised. It’s okay, finn. You know, I keep asking myself, would I have drank yesterday if I didn’t accidentally drink that glass of champagne the night before? And I’m 99% sure I-I wouldn’t have. But then there’s that 1% of me that’s not so sure. And that’s the part that’s winning. You have to try to look at it objectively. I’ll try. I mean, regardless of you slipping the night before, you woke up the next morning, and — and… it was tragic. It was heartbreaking. So you have, um, a pretty sympathetic reason to break your sobriety.

[ Sighs ] Doesn’t excuse it. Forget about excuses because I’ve learned that, you know, nothing really excuses anything. There’s just explanation and forgiveness. And after everything you’ve been through, it can certainly be explained. Hey, you know, I’m not the only one that has suffered a difficult loss here. How are you? You mean, do I want a drink?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

Did you drink? No. No. And I have no intention of it. Yeah, well, neither did I, but here we are. I think maybe it’s — it’s a two-a-day meeting kind of thing for a while, huh? Way ahead of you. I was at a meeting this morning. That’s — that’s why I didn’t pick up when you called. Yeah, that’s a damn good reason. I drank. But I’m never gonna drink again. For now. Yeah, for now. So… you know, the thing to really remember is you know, you and me…

[Voice breaking] We have each other. Yeah.

[ Both chuckle ]


Why am I antagonizing ava, maxie? Yeah. Well, um, maybe it has something to do with, I don’t know, telling me that she was going to go to bat for me with sonny and help me save my marriage… I know that — …then sandbagging me because she wanted to get her claws into sonny herself. All that was awful — she implied that if I sold the metro court to jason, that sonny would approve of that, knowing full well that sonny hates jason now. Okay, nina, do you regret selling the metro court? No. Do you regret signing the divorce papers? No. I regret

having to sign them. But sonny and I were broken beyond repair. Then why take the time to make ava your enemy? Becoming my enemy was her choice. That woman has a history of murder and mayhem with a touch of poisoning. Please, who doesn’t? Maxie, come on. I don’t think I’m in any physical danger. Okay, maybe not today. But if you keep this up… I’m telling you, though — did you see that scowl on her face? Now, that — that was almost worth a little arsenic. Chase: I’m so sorry. What do I tell you about apologizing, huh? That this is how we’re spending your dream honeymoon. Honeymoons are two things, okay? First of all, they are a vacation. Italy’s not going anywhere. We will take that trip later and make up for all the lost time. I like the way you think. I know. What about the other honeymoon? The other honeymoon is this — everything else. Ah, forever. This is my dream. Coffee and scones? Being with you through good times and bad. And, yes, the coffee and scones are a definite bonus. Are you sure you don’t want another one? Yes. If I haven’t made myself clear, whatever I can do for you, for us, for our family, if — if that’s jumping in and helping or giving you time to grieve with finn, or both, I’ll do it, okay? I got you. You are amazing. I really am. I love you so much. Ditto. How are you? Not great. I’ve since learned there are greater losses than my law license. I’m so sorry about gregory. I know how important he was to you. I called him last night, and chase answered the phone. That’s how I found out. Any word on the — from the court of appeals? Well, the wheels of bureaucracy do not accelerate to steamroll over you, no matter how much it seems like they want to. Any new insights? I thought we stood a really good chance of at least having your disbarment reexamined, if not completely vacated. Yeah. And now? Now it’s clear that your disbarment was motivated by personal animus, no vigilance toward the law, and that animus stemmed from two conspiring sources — ava jerome and fergus byrne. By the way, I’m going to be filing a harassment complaint against counselor byrne a little later on today. Maybe more than one, depending on my mood. Well, if you need any ammo… please. …We had a little run-in at a diner in albany. Say more. I was just sitting there, minding my own business, drowning my sorrows in a salad, and the avenging angel strolled by. What did he say? You know, it’s not what he said. It’s what I think is true. It’s not about his vengeance. It’s about his guilt because he was estranged from both his brothers when they died about some inheritance issue. Oh, interesting. Maybe I can use that. Oh, go ahead. You know, if I’m being blamed for destroying two of the byrne brothers, might as well make it a trifecta.

[ Chuckles ] I like the way you think. I’ve been getting all the flack for this, anyway. It was harmony who killed neil in my bed and then shoved his brother brendan off a cliff. So why is that idiot after me? I’ll make sure to ask him at his disciplinary hearing. In the meantime, I am off to general hospital. I’ve got to meet with gregory’s sons for the reading of his will. I’m glad that he retained you. After I represented the plaintiff suing his son, even I was a little surprised. He knew you were just doing your job. I mean, we both know that the justice system works best when there’s capable attorneys on each side. And you are capable attorney. You’re not as good as I am. Oh. But you’re a capable attorney. Okay. I’m really glad he retained you. Listen, you are mentioned in this will. You want to attend? Amy said you’d be in here. Is this okay? I want to — I need to apologize. I was wrong, and you were right. And I never should have spoken to you that way. I have no excuse. I was grieving my father, and I drank to numb the pain. Again, that’s not an excuse. It’s just what happened. But chase — he talked me through the worst part of it, and I’ll never drink again. I’ve already been to one meeting this morning. I ju– I just wish I had the words to explain how sorry I am to you. Thank you for saying all that. I know you mean it. And I’m really glad to hear that you’re doing what you need to take care of yourself. But I hope you understand that I wasn’t trying to take charge or tell you what to do. It was only thinking about violet and how she just found out that she had lost her grandfather, forever, and… I needed to put her first. I understand. Good. Because you didn’t seem to yesterday.


You know what’s funny?I didn’t think this was a thing, but now that we’re married, I feel different. In what way? It’s kind of hard to explain. It’s like, you know when you’ve been away for a while and you finally come home and you crash in your own bed? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it’s like that, but everything is better. Even the bed is better. And somehow you love everything even more. It’s like your capacity to love has just leveled up in a way that you didn’t even know was possible. And here you are. Here we are. We’re home. We belong, and we’ll always belong, because the person we belong with is always by our side. And it’s not like some huge, major revelation. It’s just like remembering something that we always knew but now we won’t forget. Because here we are. Because here we are. So is dex okay? Is he — is he gonna press charges? How are you feeling? I’m pissed off. I’ve been so angry at sonny for so long. God, it’s like I’m permanently stuck like this. Yeah, I hear you. So is — is dex… well, I took him to the E.R., And we had to wait there all night because he needed stitches. Dex needed stitches? Oh, it could have been a lot worse had jason not been there to pull sonny off of him. Josslyn. You more than anybody should know better than to spread gossip. Um, it’s not gossip. I was there. Oh. You saw sonny hit dex? No, but I saw dex right after. So, no, you didn’t see anything. And yet… and yet kristina saw

everything, and she was very freaked out by it. And how far along is kristina? Now, what you girls wouldn’t know is that when you’re pregnant, sometimes the — the littlest thing can freak you out. Oh, this was not a little thing, sorry. But what you do know, both of you, by now, is that when men drink, they fight. And I’m sure this encounter between dex and sonny wouldn’t have escalated if jason hadn’t insinuated himself. Okay, you know what? This conversation isn’t going anywhere, so maybe we should just dead it here. And we have those apartments to go see, yes? No, you know what, trina? You’re so right. And I shouldn’t argue with your boss, who wasn’t actually

at the reception — I can’t imagine why you weren’t invited — um, and couldn’t have possibly known what actually happened. I’m not gonna go to the reading. I think that’s for finn and chase. Oh, honey. I’m sure they’d welcome you. Besides, I have to pay a visit to a certain gallery owner. Ah. Give ava hell. Anyhow, I think I know what gregory would like me to do from his will. You can guess, but I can neither confirm nor deny till the will is read. He wants me to be literary executor, and I’m proud and happy to do it.

[ Chuckles ] I had a feeling you would be. I really wish that I had gone to the wedding… …and seen him in his proudest and finest moment. I just really never thought that it would be his last.


Violet has always been your first concern. But yesterday, you…

[ Sighs ] You made it seem like she was something that belonged to you that I shouldn’t take, instead of a little girl who had just lost her grandfather and probably needed a lot of reassurance. Not only have I never seen that side of you before… …I honestly didn’t think you were capable of it. You’ll never see that side of me again. And I want to thank you for looking out for my daughter.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. Um… chase is here. Is he okay? Yeah. He’s, uh… diane miller’s coming by my office to read my father’s will. So there is a subtle but clear narrative direction that — I mean, who does ava think she is telling me that I don’t have a life? I’m literally a trendsetter. The question isn’t whether or not we should — anyone can hang paintings on a wall. I dictate fashion. It’s more like how much space to — I mean, the woman doesn’t even have a place to live. She’s imposing on the father of her child, a man who will never, ever love her. Okay, since we’re obviously not going to talk about the ads, which is the actual reason for this meeting… I’m — w-what are you doing? What — I’m sorry. What were you saying? No, no, no, it’s too late for what I was saying. You clearly need to get this out of your system. Um, who was the gentleman friend you were mentioning to ava? Maxie. You know. Yeah, but I was hoping I was wrong. You and drew are still, um… whatever? Yeah, well, he’s no gentleman, and he’s certainly not a friend, but we have a good thing going.

[ Sighs ] Nina, he’s your boss. It doesn’t hurt business. And you two don’t like each other? Well, that definitely doesn’t hurt business. Can the sex really be that good? It’s a huge decision. I mean, this is gonna affect everybody that I care about. But you want to do it, right? You want to run for mcconkey’s seat? I mean, I didn’t even take it seriously at first. I thought he was kidding when he brought it up. But the more I think about it, I mean, I do see the upside. You seem to think it’s a good idea. Uh, no, I think it’s a great idea. But it’s crazy, right? I mean, it’s nuts. I mean, would I even have a shot? Absolutely. Government needs people like you. Really? People with no previous government experience? Because that typically doesn’t work out very good. Well, it does when those people are unselfish and open-minded, when they get involved in order to try and help make life better for people. Yeah, those people typically stay out of politics. Which is exactly why we need more of them in politics. And if you don’t mind my saying so, I think — I think it’d do you good. How so? Well, you were in a very dark place for a while, and I know you’ve made it out the other side, but that darkness — it stays with you. And you think me running for public office is gonna cure whatever is ailing me? I think being in office, making a difference — no, it won’t cure it, but it will help. It’s why I loved being a school teacher and why I’m going to love being the spokesperson for the new tomorrow institute. Raising awareness of the need for bone marrow donors will make a difference. It will help make people’s lives better, or it’ll help them live at all. And I will — I will get to help make that happen because you offered me the chance to. And I’m very glad that I did. Okay, I promise I will not say a word to anyone else about you possibly running for congress, but I really, really hope you’ll do it. Hey. Hey. Oh. Come on in. So how are you this morning? I’m okay, all things considered. How are you? I didn’t sleep much. Ended up sitting in dad’s room half the night, trying to feel close to him, I guess. I didn’t drink again. Matter of fact, I went to a aa meeting this morning. Good. I’m glad you’re doing what you gotta do. Just so you know, I’m not checking up on you. Really? Why not? Because I trust you to take care of yourself and violet. Ah, alexis. Good morning. Are you shopping for yourself or somebody else? No. I just got back from albany. I met an old friend of yours. How? I don’t know anybody in albany. Oh, sure you do. Fergus byrne. Fergus byrne. Hmm. Any relation to those other two byrnes whose lives you destroyed? Actually, it was harmony miller who destroyed their lives. But, yes, he’s their brother. But, of course, you already know that because you hired him to get me disbarred. Oh, him.

[ Chuckles ] Of course. I remember him now. How’s he doing? I imagine he’s having a very, very good day. You know what I’m really curious about is why you chose to be anonymous. Because I would’ve thought you’d be thrilled at the thought of me knowing that you were responsible for the implosion of my career and my life. No, alexis. You are responsible for that. But I was more than happy to help. Will that be all?


“I, gregory chase, being of sound mind and unsound body, et cetera, et cetera” — and just so you know, in addition to the regular legalese, he actually wrote out, “et cetera, et cetera” — “the first order of business, I suppose, is to name my executor. And that would be my son, harrison chase.” Wait, what? Yes, sir. You are responsible for seeing to it that your father’s wishes are followed. Uh, okay. Um, what are his wishes? Brief and clear. Just take a breath. Don’t worry. If you need any advice, I’m always here to help. Thank you. I will take you up on that. “While harrison will be the executor of my estate, such as it is, I also name alexis davis as my literary executor. As for my rather modest estate, it is to be divided evenly between my two sons, harrison and hamilton, with the exception of my library, which I leave to my brilliant, imaginative granddaughter, violet, to enjoy when she is ready.” She’s gonna love that. Yeah. “Finally, I request that my body be cremated. Rather than a church ceremony and a burial, I want an open-air memorial with my family and closest friends gathered to witness the scattering of my ashes near my favorite tree in the park. Violet knows which one. I want my family to focus on life, not death — the sky and the world around you, not a hole in the ground. In setting my body and spirit free into the air, I can happily return to the earth, which has been so generous to me.” Well, if that’s what dad wanted… that’s what we’ll do. I’m not talking about sex. That’s really not part of it anymore. Oh, no. Nina, are you developing feelings for drew? What? God, no! You know that saying about protesting too much? You are, like, the literal illustration right now. No, it’s just that…

[ Sighs ] Somehow the — the frenemies with benefits really did have benefits. Because of drew, I’m back on semi-speaking terms with willow. Okay. What’s he getting out of it? What else is he getting out of it? I got him a meeting with congressman mcconkey on this big urban-renewal project aurora’s working on with the city. Okay. Hmm. Yeah, I know. We’re actually, like, business partners, sort of. I still have to ask, what — what are you gonna do if temptation a-arises again? Maxie, don’t worry. For me, drew cain is the opposite of irresistible. Nina, if that were the case, why do you keep

not resisting him? Why would you go out of your way to destroy my career? Oh, alexis. It wasn’t out of my way at all. And as to the why, you knew my brother loved you very much. And you used that against him over and over again, leading him on, drawing him in, only to cast him aside. It didn’t matter that he saved your life more than once, or that he dried you out after you ran him over with your car while out on a bender. Actually, I was on a bender after being manipulated by julian to defend carlos rivera, who he then murdered, which your bestie fergus described in glorious detail to the court. Well, I wish I could have seen that. So you’re still blaming julian for all your failings? No, ava, I’m blaming you for getting me disbarred. I see, so here you are standing in my gallery, blaming me, even though you committed perjury. I mean, did I call the bar and make a statement? Yeah. Did I tell them you committed perjury? Yep. Which you did. So don’t blame me. Blame yourself.


The more I learn of public service, the — the more I like it. But the campaign could get nasty. I was in prison not too long ago for insider trading. Which you’ve owned up to. And now you’ve seen firsthand what prisons are like, so you can campaign on reform. You’ve paid your debt to society, which appeals to those who value accountability. You’re an ex-navy seal, which appeals to the military-minded. You’ve already shown a commitment to the public good, which appeals to mcconkey’s base. Wow! Will you be my campaign manager? Thanks, but I’m busy. Oh, yeah? Really? Well, you’re fired. Oh, okay.

[ Laughs ] Oh, I love the sound of that — “congressman cain.” Yeah, yeah. Mcconkey had something to say about that, too. Hey, thank you. Really. This is… this is way more than I could have hoped for. You can thank me by agreeing to run.

[ Knock on door ] Thought you’d still be here, even though you’re not working today. Yeah, I figured since I was here anyway, I might as well catch up on some paperwork, maybe it would help keep my mind off…things. Is it working? Eh. What do you got there? Dropping off x-rays seems like it’s beneath the head nurse’s pay grade. I’m never too busy to help the people I love. Thank you for that. How’d it go? The reading of your dad’s will? He left all his books to violet. Sounds like him. Instead of a funeral, he wants his ashes scattered in an open-air memorial. That sounds beautiful. Yeah. And if you don’t mind my asking… ask me anything. …When’s your next meeting? In about an hour. Do you want me to pick up violet from school? Is she even at school? Yeah. I didn’t — I didn’t want to disrupt her schedule. And she insisted it’s what her — her grandpa would want. She’s probably right. Then consider it done. Thank you. I’m — I’m sure violet will love that. I should get back to work. Yeah, me too. How’d the reading go? Uh, good. My dad made me executor. Really? Wow. What an honor. Yeah. I always thought I would go to finn because he’s the oldest, but it’s almost like my dad knew that he’d be struggling and shouldn’t be burdened. Or maybe your dad just trusted that you could take care of things. Yeah, I guess that’s a possibility. So how are you feeling with everything? Better. I’m glad that I have one more thing that I can do for my dad. Now I just have to not let him down, or anybody. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself, chase. Well, not only do I have to carry out my father’s wishes, but I have to worry about finn and violet. I have to get them through this. Wow. Yeah. It’s just so awful that you don’t have anyone by your side to help you through any of this. Oh, wait. There you are. Here I am. Don’t you forget it. Did you even see the affidavit I signed? Yes. Was there anything in there that wasn’t true? Nope.

[ Chuckles ] Then what in god’s name are you objecting to? I’m objecting to your cruelty, ava. You have only two ways of dealing with adversity. Just two. You either deflect blame, or you inflict harm. My brother would be alive today if he hadn’t been on the receiving end of what you call love. I got nothing to apologize for. You mean nothing that you’ve been caught and prosecuted for…yet. Which makes me miss being able to practice law that much more. But license or not, you’re going to regret making that complaint.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: You were at sheila’s wedding?

Finn: By accident. Okay, I was picking up the pizzas from il giardino.

Steffy: And deacon and sheila just happened to be getting married?

Finn: Yeah. Steffy, I had no idea it was going on. The ceremony was supposed to be at the beach.

Steffy: You weren’t just there, finn. You were part of the ceremony.

Liam: Well, I know how you used to feel about sheila, and now she’s your stepmom, so that’s fun.

Hope: Ooh, yes, definitely not my first choice. But she is my dad’s, so I– I have to support him.

Liam: Correction. You don’t have to support him. You’re choosing to support him, ’cause that’s the kind of daughter that you are and he is beyond lucky to have you.

Hope: I don’t know. You know, the weird thing is, they seem really, really happy together.

Liam: Gross. You know what the weird thing is to me? That finn showed up. What, is he out of his mind?

Rj: So, I’ve done the math. We have about 98 more kisses to make up for, okay?

Luna: I hated every second away from you, rj?

Rj: Not as much as me.

Luna: I’m just– I’m really glad that we were able to work through everything because it’s been so hard.

Rj: Yeah. On both of us. Which reminds me, how are, um, how are you and your mom doing?

Poppy: Bill and I go way back.

Bill: Way, way back.

Katie: Yeah, yeah. Twenty years. That’s a long time to be friends.

Bill: Yeah, poppy and I lost touch for a while.

Poppy: Yeah, and then we just happened to run into each other again.

Bill: Totally unexpected. I was grabbing some lunch, and then there she was.

Poppy: Fate brought us back together again for a reason. Gave us a chance to reconnect.

Luna: Yeah, I wish things were back to normal with my mom, but, you know, we’re trying to get to a better place, but i honestly haven’t seen that much of her recently. She’s been hanging out with bill spencer. I’m starting to think that she’s really falling for him.

Katie: So, how did you two meet?

Bill: We met at a music festival in the bay area.

Katie: A music festival?

Bill: Ah, here we go. Yeah, a music festival. Why is that so weird?

Katie: Um, I’m just trying to visualize dollar bill grooving it up in the grass.

Bill: Oh, well, you just– you take all the time you need. Uh, the fact is that poppy caught my eye. And here we are, some 20 odd years later, back in each other’s lives.

Katie: Well, that must’ve been one hell of a night.

Liam: Look, I’m not here to give you a hard time.

Hope: Oh, I would appreciate it if you didn’T. Besides, you probably won’t get where I’m coming from.

Liam: I mean, I rarely agree with my father, but he’s still my dad, so I kind of do.

Hope: Yeah, it’s just my dad and I were estranged for so long, and I just– I don’t want to go back to that.

Liam: I know your reason for feeling obliged to be there kinda at least makes some sense. Finn is a whole different story.

Steffy: What were you thinking? What, you just happened to stumble upon their ceremony?

Finn: Yeah. Now, look, I told you, I had no clue it was even taking place.

Steffy: Why wouldn’t you just take the pizza and leave?

Finn: They weren’t ready.

Steffy: So, you just stayed around and participated?

Finn: Look, I just– I– I don’t know. I didn’t know what to do.

Steffy: Well, you gave sheila exactly what she wanted. How could you do that?

Rj: So, poppy’s actually falling for bill?

Luna: Yeah, that’s the vibe I’m getting.

Rj: I mean, well, I can’t say I’m surprised. I mean, they’ve been on a ton of dates recently. I mean, what– what makes you think it’s gotten more serious?

Luna: Well, is it that serious for him? It’s hard to tell, but…

Rj: Luna, come on. Poppy’s this pretty, creative, smart– I mean, she’s all the good things. I mean, why wouldn’t bill be into her? Come on.

Luna: My mom’s always been super popular with guys, but it’s always been casual. I mean, my mom’s focus has always been the two of us, you know? Nozawa power. But I’ve noticed like this change in her recently.

Rj: Because of bill spencer?

Bill: Well, I’m sure you’d rather not discuss my love life, katie.

Katie: Oh, I don’t mind if you don’t mind.

Bill: No, it’s not awkward for me. I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.

Katie: I don’t feel uncomfortable. I mean, you don’t have to explain anything to me. You haven’t had to do that in a long time. I’m just– I can see how happy you both are and– and as soon as I walked in here, I could tell that you had become close.

Bill: Poppy and luna have become a very important part of my life.

Katie: That’s good. I’m happy for both of you. I’m gonna take off. And, uh, truly, um, good luck.

Bill: Thanks, katie.

Poppy: It was lovely to meet you.

Katie: Yeah, same.

Bill: I’ll walk you out.

Liam: You know, he could’ve put his wife and his family first, but instead, he went with the not that option.

Hope: To be fair, sheila did kind of guilt finn into staying.

Liam: And he caved. Which tells me that if steffy asks finn for one thing, and sheila asks finn for the opposite thing, finn goes sheila.

Hope: Finn had no idea they were going to be at il giardino.

Liam: So what? So what? Let’s say it was dumb luck that he goes to pick up dinner and he just accidentally crashes his mom’s big day. What did he not do? Make a beeline for the door like any sane, rational, ethical human being. Instead, he stayed for the celebration.

Hope: Oh, my gosh, that is not how it happened. Finn felt deeply, deeply uncomfortable being there.

Liam: Yeah, I know. It’s uncomfortable when you directly disobey your wife’s wishes. She’s gonna be pissed.

Steffy: Were you planning on saying anything?

Finn: Of course, I was.

Steffy: When? Before or after the photo was posted?

Finn: I was just about to tell you, honey. And then you got the photo notification.

Steffy: Yeah, that photo just makes me sick.

Finn: I’m– I’m sorry you found out that way.

Steffy: So am I.

Finn: It was poor judgment on my part.

Steffy: Yeah. I asked you one thing. One. To not associate yourself with sheila. And what did you do? What did I just see? I see a picture of the two of you at her wedding.

Bill: You like it?

Poppy: A girl could get used to this.

Bill: Well, you ought to spend more time here.

Poppy: I’d love to.

Bill: I was also thinking we should take a little trip together.

Poppy: Hm.

Bill: Maybe the south of france. Monte carlo.

Poppy: Oh. Well, I’m gonna have to check my schedule.

Bill: Hm. Okay, you do that. You check your schedule. I’ve already been talking to my captain.

Poppy: Your captain?

Bill: I wanna take you on my yacht.

Poppy: You have a yacht? Like an actual yacht?

Bill: An actual yacht, yeah. The stella maris. Here, wait a minute. Ah, all right, take a look.

Poppy: Oh, wow. Uh, she’s yours?

Bill: Mm-hmm. All mine. What do you think?

Poppy: She’s beautiful, bill.

Bill: Yeah. She is beautiful. But not as beautiful as you. Something wrong?

Poppy: It was just meeting katie.

Bill: Yeah, I’m sorry about that. She has a tendency just to pop in. I– I guess she likes to talk about things in person. Like the parents weekend.

Poppy: Oh no, she’s fine. I mean, she was really lovely. She couldn’t have been sweeter, actually. But she was also intimidating.

Bill: Because she’s my ex?

Poppy: That, and she’s so accomplished and impressive. She’s so smart, stylish, pretty. It makes me wonder.

Bill: Wonder what?

Poppy: Why you weren’t together anymore. What happened between the two of you?

Bill: Uh, that is a very long story and I would just truthfully rather not get into it.

Poppy: Well, I just couldn’t imagine being married to you and then letting you go.

Hope: I don’t wanna lose my dad again. But that does not mean that I condone everything that he’s doing. I mean, believe me, this– this has not been easy for me.

Liam: Okay, well, there you go. I understand that you’re– you’re under a lot of pressure and this is complicated for you, but can we circle back one more time to the no sheila and beth in the same place at the same time? Can we just agree?

Hope: Yes, I understand, liam. But, food for thought, sheila did fight sugar to try to protect steffy and the kids. So maybe, just maybe, she is capable of change.

Liam: Ugh, now you’re really starting to sound like finn.

Finn: Look, I just– I don’t like seeing you upset.

Steffy: I can’t understand how you keep putting yourself in these situations.

Finn: Oh, but look, this was a total coincidence, okay? I had no intention.

Steffy: Of what? Being a member of the wedding party?

Finn: No, and it wasn’t like that.

Steffy: No, it was just the two of you. You and hope. You guys were the only guests. And now this photo of you, sheila and deacon, it’s on the internet for everyone to see.

Finn: Hey, I’m sorry. Is there anything I can do to make this right?

Steffy: You just have to learn to say no.

Finn: Okay, yeah. Honestly, you’re right. That’s exactly what I should’ve done. I should have just done a 180 and got out of there.

Steffy: Finn, this can’t– this can’t keep happening. I told you over and over again to stay away from sheila. And I hate to say it, but you– you let me down, again.

[]

Luna: My mom and I have always been so close. I mean, I know her better than anyone. And I am positive that she’s falling in love with bill.

Rj: How do you feel about that?

Luna: I’d be supportive.

Rj: Hm.

Luna: I mean, bill’s been nothing but kind to me. Sometimes, I kind of wish he was my dad.

Poppy: It’s funny, we only spent that one night together, but I don’t think you realize how much it meant to me, bill. Even more than I realized at the time.

Bill: In hindsight, I wish that I hadn’t been so totally engrossed in my business. That I had reached out, tried to find you. Gone on that second date instead of waiting two decades.

Poppy: I wish you had too.

Bill: It’ll always be a big regret of mine.

Poppy: I was heartbroken.

Bill: Sorry for hurting you, poppy.

Poppy: You know, it’s crazy. Our lives went in such different directions. And, you know, if only we could go back and do it over again and not spend all those years apart. The difference it would’ve made.

Bill: Poppy, with everything you’re saying, I have to ask.

Poppy: Ask what?

Bill: Is there any chance at all that luna is my daughter? Do you know who luna’s father is? Could it be me?

Poppy: Yes, bill. It could be you. You might be luna’s father.

Hope: We don’t get to choose our biological parents. I mean, it’s not finn’s fault.

Liam: Does finn really not understand how much he’s undermining his marriage? How much he’s putting his family at risk with this whole connection to sheila? I mean, you, you’re you. I can’t, you know, if you wanna have a relationship with deacon and sheila, that’s fine. That’s your choice. I can’t stop you. Once again, though, the kids.

Hope: Yes, I– I heard you and beth will not be around them.

Liam: Thank you. Just be careful, okay? Because I don’t want you putting yourself in danger either. Sheila is dangerous and I don’t want you to listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise, including and especially finn.

Hope: Great talk.

Finn: I’m sorry for letting you down. You know, obviously my interactions with sheila are making you feel unsafe.

Steffy: You don’t make me feel unsafe. But staying at deacon and sheila’s wedding, like that is, that was the wrong move.

Finn: Okay, yeah. Look, I’m sorry, but you gotta understand, like, today– today was random. Okay, it was the last thing I expected. And I just– I didn’t– I don’t know, man. I just– I didn’t know what to do.

Steffy: You knew exactly what to do.

Finn: Look, I’m not making any excuses, but I was in a weird spot.

Steffy: How many times do i have to tell you this? You need to stay away from sheila. I don’t care that she’s your mother. I don’t want you to have a relationship with her.

Sheila: Finn, I– I’ve been given a second chance. Thank god, my son, thank god.

[ Kelly coughing ] Thank you, finn, for– for being at my wedding, baby. I love you.

Steffy: How many times do I have to say it? You need to stay away from sheila. I don’t care if she’s your mother. You can’t have a relationship with her.

Hope: I– I know you’re a little nervous about how steffy’s gonna react to this, but I don’t know if she should be the one dictating what your relationship looks like to your birth mother. I mean, maybe that should be up to you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

EJ’s personal effects, I take it. Surprised you left them in his office. My office. And, um, I was going to send them via messenger, but since you’re here, you can bring them to your brother. Save me on the delivery fee. Sure. Can I help you with something? I actually came by to offer my congratulations. Can’t say that felt entirely genuine.

Why wouldn’t it be? I helped push EJ out of office and I’m a big reason why you’re back in this job, Melinda. You’re also a demure, so I would be a fool to trust you. Look, I lost this job once before and I have no intention of letting it go again. And if you even think about doing to me what you did to your brother, you will find yourself a very dangerous enemy.

Oh, God. I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were working. It’s alright. Hello, stranger. Well, hello, Maggie. Oh, it feels like it’s been forever. Where have you been? I’ve just been laying low. I mean, it’s been a little too hectic around here for my taste. I mean, you are a gracious human for opening your house to the Horton clan, but It was a lot.

Well, it was very lively. Those kids can be rambunctious. Well, the kids are great. It’s the oldsters you gotta watch out for. You’re in present company, excluded, obviously. Obviously. Peace and quiet at last. You and Constantine, me and Justin, we finally have a place to ourselves. Am I right? Oh my god. So, how’s our baby boy doing?

Well, besides being perfect, because he is perfect, you know that, right? I do indeed. Every time I walk into the room, I can hardly believe my eyes. Our precious son is alive. The answer to our prayers. And you knew it all along. I felt it in my heart the moment I set eyes on him.

I know I said it before, but I will forever be sorry that I didn’t believe you. Can you ever forgive me? Honey, of course I forgive you. How could you have known? I had a connection with him because I carried him inside of me. You can’t beat yourself up for not recognizing your son in the same way. It’s not your fault.

There’s only one person to blame for what happened. I’m sorry.

Sloane! Did the place look like this when you left? No.

Look who thinks we’re gone. What’s this?

It’s the um, The gift that I gave Sloane for Mother’s Day. A jute spur stone. Damn it, she took off. I can’t believe she just left. She’s gotta know that running is just gonna make her situation worse. I’ll find her.

Hey, it’s me. I’ve got to put out an APB on Sloane Peterson.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Alex. Theresa, I wasn’t expecting you so soon. I, I didn’t know we needed to make an appointment to walk into our own home, but Bonnie, good to see you. Oh, oh. back. Got you handsome. So you two women in, you haven’t heard, uh, not right till right this minute. , Alex, you didn’t tell Justin. You know, we didn’t get a chance to connect, but uh, it’s not like it’s a big surprise or anything.

Well, he sure has missed you those last couple months. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled that you’re gonna be under the same roof. Right, yeah. I am gonna be pretty busy for the foreseeable future. I got a lot of businesses going on, but You know, I’m sure we’ll connect soon. Sure, I’ll have him penciled in soon into his calendar.

Right. Yeah. Okay, so where are your things? Movers are on their way. We should probably let Henderson know, right? You are welcome to alert him yourself. He’ll probably get the staff to come, you know, help you if you need it. Great Thank you so much Maggie for your hospitality. Honestly, it means so much. Of course, dear I am so happy that you are going to be living here

Look Melinda, I don’t want to get off my wrong foot here. Oh, is that what’s happening here? My only interest is in proving that my wife is innocent. Your wife who was convicted of murder. A murder that she didn’t commit. Now, EJ had no interest in righting that wrong, but I am hoping that you’ll Look, I am just getting settled back into the job here.

I haven’t made any decisions on any cases as of yet. All I’m asking is that you follow the law. Just out of curiosity, why didn’t your brother help you? Because EJ had his own personal agenda. But I believe that you are an honorable public servant. Plus, this could curry some favor from the police commissioner.

Oh, you understand I do not work for Commissioner Hernandez. Yes, I, I do understand that, but Wouldn’t it be a great message to restart your tenure as DA by bringing justice to Lee’s real killer? Look, like I said, I haven’t had a chance to look at the files yet. Could you look it over now? I’m sure that you will see that the new evidence that Commissioner Hernandez found is compelling and overwhelming.

Okay, I think I remember seeing the file around here someplace. Um, Ah, Here it is. The Lee Shin murder case. So does that mean you’re reviewing? Let me know as soon as someone gets a lead on Sloane Peterson. Thank you. And I want updates every 30 minutes. Listen, this just doesn’t make sense. Her passport, her driver’s license are still here, and her keys, they’re right here.

Well, obviously she left in a hurry. Which leads me to believe that she left a clue behind listening. We have officers at the airport, the bus and train stations, the APB, it is statewide. I just want you to find her because I want this to be over with. Yeah, we will. You have any idea how much of a head start Sloan has?

When was the last time you saw her? I assume she just left after I took Jude to Nicole, so, maybe a couple hours. Okay, that’s good. Salem PD is going to use every resource that we have. I also want to explore a couple other avenues.

We are never going to get that time back that Sloan took from us. And all those days and nights that we were away from our little boy. And I, I know holding him is going to make things better, but I can’t stop thinking about what we lost and how we suffered. Jude will heal us, Nicole. It’ll just take time, okay?

Yeah. I know, but I can’t seem to let go of all the questions I have about the details of that night. Very confusing to say the least. You know, after the accident, I trusted Dimitri to take our baby to the hospital because saving him was all that mattered. But when we got there and no one knew what was going on I think we were just all in shock.

The doctor not only told us that our child had died, but that had been accidentally cremated. We couldn’t even say a proper goodbye. E. G., that was awful. I thought I lost everything.

I never thought my life would be whole again. And it is now.

Now as far as how it all went down, the scheming, the manipulation You heard Eric. He and Rafe are going to make sure that Sloan faces the consequences. What about that doctor? And Dimitri, they owe us answers too. I suppose, yes. You know, I’m sorry E. J., but I don’t think Sloane pulled this off by herself.

She had to have had help.

So? I have to say, this is some interesting reading. Interesting? Yeah, uh, most of the cases that cross my desk are deadly dry, but this one, it has it all. Twists, turns, cliffhangers. I’m so glad you’re entertained. Listen, I can assure you that every piece of evidence in that folder has been thoroughly investigated.

All of the witnesses vetted and the bloody fingerprint on that black book, Rafe ran it himself. The brother of the accused ran the test. Well, I went through the lab, obviously. Obviously, I can’t take anything as fact until my office has run its own independent investigation. Well, sure. But you have to admit, these facts in this folder, seem pretty convincing in Gabby’s favor.

Do I? I’m sorry, what does that even mean? It means that Gabby Hernandez was found guilty of a crime by a jury of her peers. And as much as you and her brother want to paint a certain picture of innocence, that doesn’t make it true. What the hell, Melinda? You’re gonna review this case? Or do I need to go over your head?

Not sure if Constantine told you or not, but our plan is to move into the East Wing. Oh, that’s where the Hortons were living. Yes, I’m aware. But now that they’re gone, I’m thinking that should be a good enough space to suit our needs. Well, the East Wing it is. Henderson is, uh, cleaning it out now. All right, well, I’ll alert him to set up our rooms.

Rooms? Hold on, I thought we were sharing a room. Baby, this is the East Wing. This is a massive space. You’re gonna have a room. I’m gonna have a room. We’re gonna share a room. No more cramped apartment living. You know, and you’re gonna have a giant walk in closet that you’ve always dreamed of. And I’m gonna get you a wardrobe befitting for the, um, Someone with the cariocas air.

Someone with Really? Well, we haven’t really defined ourselves yet. We’re not really in the labels these days. Come on. Let’s go. Let’s go. We’ll set up. Okay. Thanks again, Maggie. Good luck.

What in the holy hell was that? What do you think the deal is with those two? That is a very good question. There are so many lingering questions about what happened the night of the accident and perhaps there always will be. But when I look into our son’s eyes, none of it matters. Nothing except making sure that he has the most incredible life a kid could ask for.

We need to count our blessings and focus on being the best parents we can be. I know. I’m trying, EJ. It’s just, Every time I think of Sloan, I just want to take my hands and wrap them around her neck. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You’re right. You’re right. I, I, I cannot let my anger take over. Away this moment, you, my precious boy deserve a mommy who is present and loving and hopeful.

And we’ve wasted too much time not being a family. And I’m not going to waste any more time thinking about that. Horrible. Sorry to interrupt. Have you brought in Sloan? No. She’s gone. Without a trace.

Okay, just got off the phone with Justin. He was surprised to hear that Alex was moving back in. Okay, good surprise or bad surprise? Well, mostly good. I mean, he’s Mm hmm. Mm hmm. to be able to spend more time with Alex, but he voiced some concerns over, let’s see, how did he put it? Ah, yes. The corrosive nature of the Kyriakos fortune.

Mm hmm. Well, I share that opinion. See, I’m counting on Justin to be a good influence on Alex. Worked on me.

We’re back. Everything alright up there? Oh, my goodness, more than alright. I’m telling you, I’ve probably moved 50 times in my life. I have never had a personal maid unpack my things. Oh, you better get used to it. That’s our life now. Oh, okay. So, will you two be joining us for dinner? Absolutely, but I do want to check out the menu.

A cook is probably out in the garden now, and I’m sure he’ll be happy to go over the menu with you and offer any alternatives, if you’re not pleased. Great. Alright, well, I’m going to actually head down to the stable. I want to check a few things out. And maybe later we can go for a swim. Wow. Work on that breaststroke.

Oh, sounds good.

Wow, I could really get used to this. Yeah.

Let’s be clear about something, Mr. DiMera. I am not your brother, nor am I some toady from DiMera Enterprises. I am the District Attorney of Salem, and I will not be pushed around no matter what your last name is. I wasn’t trying to push you around. Oh, okay, so that wasn’t you who was threatening to go over my head, whatever the hell that means?

I was attempting to apply pressure. I am very anxious to bring my wife home. I understand. It must be terrible having her locked away. Away from you, away from her daughter. It is. But we can right that wrong together. Melinda, I know that you and I, well, our past hasn’t always been pleasant, right? But I need you to know that I hold you and this office in the utmost respect.

I appreciate that. I heard your press conference. You said that you were committed to making Salem a safer, more just place. Doesn’t that mean releasing innocent women from prison and getting killers off the streets? Stefan, I have no personal issue with reopening her case. As long as the facts, they, they check out.

But you and I both know that only a judge can make that decision. So you’d be willing to take it to court? The court is, is awfully backed up at the moment. Okay, all I’m asking is that you do your best. And I will wait as long as it takes. You’re not hearing me. You might be waiting forever.

You don’t know where Sun went. Not yet. I’m sorry. Just while I was bringing Jude to you, she obviously took off. You don’t have to apologize, Eric. You brought our son to us. I should have called police first. Well, you were just acting like a parent, and you did the right thing. She’s right. Jude is our priority, too.

Look, we all hope that Sloan faces the consequences, but That’s out of our hands. Uh, so what are you doing to, to find her? Well, we’ve put out an APB, but so far she’s eluded us. I mean, honestly, I don’t know what she was thinking to run like this. Well, obviously she was thinking that she didn’t want to face the consequences or me.

So instead of taking responsibility, she ran like a coward. Yeah. Why are you here, Riff? Excuse me? Why are you here wasting valuable time when you could be out there finding her and bringing her in? Well, actually, I have questions for you, that’s why.

I’m not sure how I could be of assistance. How would EJ know anything about where Sloan is? Well, Sloane took off without her passport, her driver’s license, even her credit cards. And, uh, her car is still there. She left with nothing? Nothing. Well, maybe she plans to go into hiding and change her identity. I mean, she’s changed her name before, right?

Right, yes. But last time, no one was looking for her. Do you think she actually has the resources to stay in hiding and start over? I don’t know. I wouldn’t suppose so. I can’t believe you were able to get this done so

fast. You hold in your hands everything you need to start a new life. Driver’s license, social security number, passport. There’s a number for a driver in there who will take you to Chicago and provide you with an airline ticket in your new name. And the money? The details of your offshore account are included.

You’ll discover that it has been generously funded to last you a lifetime. Well, I’ve, um, I’ve never been to the Amalfi Coast. Oh, you’re going to love it. Sand, sea, and sky. You’ll never want for anything. As long as you promise never to return to Salem. Or tell anyone that Eric is Jude’s biological father.

E. J. Based on my initial investigation, I tend to agree. Sloan was resourceful, but she wasn’t exactly flush with cash. No, she wasn’t. I don’t even know how she got this far. Right, exactly. Um, quite far, in fact, considering her resources were so limited. Yours, EJ, on the other hand, are not. What

the hell? Why would I have to wait forever until my wife’s case is reopened? Melinda, you are sitting on evidence that an innocent woman is in prison. Isn’t it your duty to see that justice is carried out? And I do want justice. But as long as we’re being honest here, I, I believe he already got it. My wife is not a killer.

Look, that’s debatable. But let’s start by talking through what we already know about the case. A motive. Everybody knows that Gabby hated Lee. He blackmailed her for months, forced her to stay in a loveless marriage. A lot of people had issues with Lee. But not Gil. The guy that you allege murdered Lee? He didn’t even know him.

He was a known criminal. So is your wife. You are wrong about this, Melinda. I suppose it’s, it’s possible. And look, I, I’m, I’m still open to the idea that things might possibly change, but from my professional opinion, what you have here, circumstantial evidence, bias witnesses, it is not enough to reopen this case.

Or free her. Goodbye, Mr. DeMiro. No, no, no. Listen to me, please. Look, look, look. Do me a favor. Close the door on your way out.

If there is anything you need, anything at all, you just let me know. I want you to, I don’t know, feel at home here. Thank you. Honestly, you’re so kind. I’m just so grateful that I, I can be somewhere where I don’t have to worry about Brenton Utilities. I’m just glad to help. I know about your struggles.

About Brady and Tate and your career. Um, I just hope you take this time to sort out your life. You know, to figure out, well, what you want to do next. Yeah, I hope so too. Your friend Alex seems to know exactly what he wants to do next. Well, now that he’s coming to all that money. Oh, yeah, he is. So focused and so confident and so rich.

You just be careful Teresa. Money has a way of changing people. Amen sister. And I’m going to speak with Alex. Why is something wrong? No, there’s nothing wrong at all. It’s just a family matter that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Excuse me. Have at it Maggie. Okay.

What?

You remind me of someone. I get that a lot. No. You remind me of me. I mean, sure, there are a few differences. I mean, I’m a little bit curvier. You’re a few years younger, but How exactly do I remind you of you? Well, it’s no secret that the first time I waltzed into this house, I had my eye on the prize, too.

Cariacas Cash? Yep. I tried to marry Victor to get it. But with Justin, it’s a whole different story. Seems to me, you’re going for door number one. Are you accusing me of being a gold digger? Oh, hey. No judgements here, sweetheart. Believe me. It’s perfectly fine to fall in love with a man and his money. As long as you’re not trying to con him like that miserable creep Constantine.

Word to the wise, stay away from that piece of garbage. I heard. You knew. As far as I’m concerned, as long as you love Alex, as much as you love his money. Look at me. Yeah? Do a poll for it.

What do my resources have to do with Sloane’s escape? What are you asking, Rafe? I am just saying that the DiMeras have resources well beyond what Sloan could muster on her own. Beyond what Salem PD could access, honestly. I’m sure that’s true. I’m sorry, you’re thinking that someone helped Sloan disappear?

I mean, no offense, DiMera like. That’s why we’re here. Okay, I still don’t understand. Okay, EJ, you and Nicole would like Sloan brought back to Salem, right? Of course. Yes, we want her to get what she deserved for taking our son. Right, exactly. Okay, so, it might be helpful if you were to, let’s say, reach out to some of your, uh, Connections that could possibly have insight on Sloan’s disappearance.

I see. You want our help in tracking Sloan in case this goes beyond the scope of the law. Well, I didn’t say that. But if you were to come up with some answers. Of course. Whatever you need. I’ll make some calls. Great. Okay. Excellent. Uh, I’ve got to get back to the station. Do you need a ride? Yeah, sure. Okay.

Um, you, do you want to say hi?

I don’t want to wake him up. Another time then.

You alright, pal? Yeah. No. No, no.

I know, man. It’s hard. Judy’s where you’re supposed to be. My heart.

Yeah. I know. I felt that pain. Yeah, I did. I had to turn David over after I was raising him all those months. It just doesn’t feel right. Reheal. He feels like my son. Yeah. It’s gonna feel that way for a while. Will. Hey. I’ve been through. Okay. I just want you to know that I am here for you. Whatever you need, okay?

Appreciate that. Yeah. And you know, I hated it. I hated it because people told me this all the time. But it’s true. Whatever you are feeling right now, It will get better over time. I promise. You’re right,

EJ. I cannot give any more of this energy to Sloan. And like you said, she will get what she deserves. But right now, I We do need to focus on Jude. I am very glad to hear you say that because we have a lot of work to do, starting with rebuilding the nursery. I can’t believe we’re starting over. I’ve already placed some orders.

We’ll have enough for at least the first week. Thank you for doing that. Of course, anything to make Jude’s transition as smooth as possible. And speaking of which, we do need to talk about your job. Right. I haven’t really thought about it. I know, I know, but you need to be honest with yourself about what you want.

Yeah. I mean, I can’t really see myself leaving Jude right now. I had a feeling you were going to say that. I will call Chad and talk to him about maternity leave. Okay. I know you love your job, but you need to take advantage of this happy time. No, um, I, I will. It’s just What is it?

I feel so lucky right now. And also a little guilty. Guilty? Why? Because now I, I have everything. And Eric lost everything. And he’s wanted to be a father for so long, and he’s had so many disappointments, and now this child’s been ripped away from him, and I feel for him. I do. But this is our child. Our son.

Eric was misled and duped. Okay, the happiness that we are experiencing right now should have been ours all along.

Maggie. Oh, you’re just the person I wanted to see. Likewise, I just came back from the stables. They’re an absolute mess. I mean, even the horses are embarrassed. It needs a complete renovation. When was the last time you actually had somebody go there and like, do the, like an inspection of the conditions of the stables?

Well, I can’t say for sure. Neither can I. Luckily, I have an architect who can come up with a whole new plan. He’ll create the whole thing and, uh, build it from scratch. I mean, it’s not gonna be cheap, but I can get a Titan construction crew out there and start demo right away. There is gonna be no construction on the grounds until after the weddings.

Weddings? Like plural? That’s right. Mine and Sarah’s. Xander and Sarah are engaged. Isn’t it wonderful? Sure. It’s great. Glad you agree. Yeah. I do hope that Teresa and I will be invited to the wedding though. We are family after all. We know Victor would want everybody to get along. The MDA. Do you have a minute?

Commissioner, if you’re here to talk about your sister, I’ll tell you what I already told Stephan DiMera about her case. I’m not here to talk about my sister. Well, not yet anyway. I promise you, we will be having that discussion very soon. I am here to talk about the disappearance of Sloane Peterson.

You’re family, Alex. And I think we can find a way to coexist in the house. Because that’s what family does. Why do I sense a but coming on? But I just want to be clear about the boundaries. Your boundaries or my boundaries? Both. Oh. I’m not going to roll over. And I’m not going to acquiesce to your every wish.

Now that you’re the Kiriakou’s heir. I mean, you talk about what Victor wanted, I promise you, he wouldn’t want you disrespecting his wife or anyone he cared about. Now, is that a warning? Oh, no, no, no, no. I just have limits. Yeah. And I have ideas, Maggie. About the stables. About this house. About the staff.

About how to shake off decades of stale thinking. Luckily, I am the future of this family and I’m going to take this family into the modern world. I hope. And I’m not going to hold back just because it might hurt your feelings.

Oh, well, so that’s what you think. This is all about my feelings. What else would it be about? I can tell you just love being in karaoke. You relish all the trappings of the lifestyle and the title and the power, and I don’t blame you. I’ve gotten caught up in it myself, at one time or another. But there’s more to it than a name.

So you’re saying you don’t think I understand? What it means to be Victor Sloan. I think that along with the perks, you’re going to discover a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice that comes along with it. And unless you’re ready to embrace all of it, you’re just merely playing at the job of being an heir.

What do you mean Sloan disappeared? Uh, well, she left the apartment that she shared with Eric just a few hours ago, took nothing with her, and vanished.

Sloane, promise me, promise that you will not take that little boy if you go on the run. I, I know you love him, but you just can’t do that. Don’t, don’t worry. I mean, maybe I can outrun the FBI, but E. J. DiMera Exactly.

If I do what E. J. says, maybe I get something out of it. If I admit that Jude’s Nicole’s, if I make Eric believe the lie that EJ’s the father, Uh, EJ helps me disappear. And you’ll be safe. Why would she do that? Because she got caught. Caught? Wait, where is her son? She didn’t take Jude with her, did she? Well, that’s interesting that you mention him.

I don’t know. He’s the reason that she took off. I don’t understand, Commissioner. Are you saying to me that you know nothing about this baby switch? Did you say baby switch? Okay. Sloan confessed to Eric that the adoption that you were helping to arrange many months ago fell through. But instead of telling Eric the truth Sloan somehow faked the death of EJ and Nicole’s baby so she could take him and raise him with Eric.

What? No. No, no. Sloan? She would not do something like that. I don’t believe it. You helped to arrange this adoption. You You honestly expect me to believe you knew nothing about this? That it had fallen apart? Once the details were confirmed, Sloan, she took over. As far as I know, Jude was the baby that they adopted.

She didn’t claim that I knew something, did she? No, Eric didn’t say that she mentioned you. But I have so many questions about this whole thing. Well, I do hope that you find Sloan soon. So do I. And I hope that I can trust you to see this through. Of course. You’re the DA now, and we need to be on the same side.

I am on the side of justice, for all who deserve it.

Oh my. Hey, hey, hey, shh. Please don’t slam the door. Sorry if I’m a bit frustrated, but if you had just reopened Gabby’s case when I asked you to. What the hell is this? You guys babysitting? No. This is our son. You what? Jude is awesome. I, I, I, I don’t understand. Short version, Sloane Peterson stole our baby and tried to play him off as hers and Eric’s adopted child.

Um, how the hell would she do that? That’s a good question. And so what, now she just decides to bring him back? No, Eric learned the truth and he brought June to us.

I can’t believe it. I’m so happy for you. For both of you. Thank you, Stefan. Yes, thank you.

I saw how badly you suffered when you thought you’d lost your child. My God, nobody

has the right to break a family apart. And sometimes the universe just makes things right. It shows us that miracles do happen.

Do we go from here? What’s the one thing we should do?

We were holding in our hearts The thing we wanted to

believe

Seems we’ve lost that love too much

Temporary beauty was our crutch

Happily embracing an emptiness we’re chasing Cause we need to believe The light of love is shining bright, Will it get us through the night? What’s our story now? Ooo, Ooo What’s our story now?

What’s our story?

Alrighty. What did you end up getting? Well, I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

Do you think that Jude. We’re like This. Well, I think he’s gonna love it. And I also think that I just One upped you. You went upside down, Pete. Uh, best grandma in the galaxy. And that you are. Oh, darling. I think I’m happy.

[ Laughing ]

Kyle: Hey, bud, how’d you like that ferris wheel?

Harrison: It was fun.

Claire: Thank you for grabbing my hand when I got a little bit scared. It was like you knew exactly when I needed some extra courage.

Kyle: You got scared, huh? How about you?

Harrison: I might have got a little nervous, just a little bit.

Claire: Really? I had no idea you were so cool under pressure.

Harrison: And the ducks were super hungry.

Kyle: Those ducks are getting chubby. I think you may be feeding them a little too much, sir.

Harrison: Nuh-uh.

Kyle: Well, go on up and get washed up for dinner, okay?

Harrison: Is claire staying?

Kyle: You know you’re more than welcome to, right?

Summer: Oh, my god, chelsea. My heart goes out to you and adam. Seriously. I know how hard it is to see your child suffer, especially when there’s nothing that you can do to take their pain away.

Chelsea: Yeah, it’s been very difficult. I feel helpless. Cut off from my son. Which is why I asked you to meet with me. Connor’s doctors say he’s ready for a visit from us.

Summer: That’s great.

Chelsea: It is. Um, but I’m afraid I have a huge ask.

Summer: Ask away.

Chelsea: Well, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate how supportive you’ve been to me. You know, not just as my boss, but as my friend. Um,, I feel like I really need to be more present and available for connor as he goes through this, so, I’m asking to take a leave of absence.

Summer: Of course. I mean, take whatever time you need, chelsea. Whatever connor needs.

Chelsea: Thank you. I know the timing couldn’t be worse.

Summer: We’re up against some deadlines for the winter collection, but…

Chelsea: Which is why I don’t wanna leave you in the lurch. I have a suggestion that I hope you’ll keep an open mind about.

Adam: I know that I’m gonna feel better once I can see connor’s face in person. You know, these video calls are just not cutting it.

Sally: I can imagine you’re relieved.

Adam: But I’m not looking forward to leaving you.

Sally: Well, we have tonight.

Adam: Yes. But there is something more that I, uh, I need to tell you.

Sally: I don’t know if I like the sound of that.

Adam: Okay, it’s nothing bad. At least I don’t think it is. I just– I wanna be completely up front with you so there’s no repeat of a misunderstanding. I don’t want you to get angry at me like you did when I spoke to my father about bringing your design company under the newman umbrella.

Sally: What did you do this time?

Jack: I’m actually feeling hopeful about ashley now that she and traci and alan are headed to paris. He seems convinced she experienced something significant that undermined her stability. Hopefully they’ll get to the bottom of whatever her problem is and work it out there.

Diane: Well, that’s– that’s good. But ashley’s not the only one I’m concerned about.

Jack: If you mean me…

Diane: Yes, I do. And how you’re dealing with all of this. Now that you have professional confirmation about ashley’s psychological problems and on the heels of everything that happened with nikki, it’s a lot. And I’m sure it’s weighing heavily on you.

Jack: It is a lot. You’re right. But I’m doing fine. I’m not fixating, I’m not spiraling, not having trouble functioning. I’m not in the least inclined to hide behind a haze of pills or anything else.

Diane: Well, I certainly hope that’s the case.

Jack: I want you to believe that. Look, as far as ashley goes, I am optimistic that once she gets to paris, she will turn a corner.

Tucker: Ashley’s in paris?

If you have wet amd,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: Okay, I will try to keep an open mind.

Chelsea: What you need is someone who’s a great designer, who knows how to launch a line, can manage a team, make sure everything is done on time. Very few people can seamlessly take that ball and run with it.

Summer: That is true. If you have somebody like that in mind, I mean, that’s– that’s great.

Chelsea: Okay, so I know you don’t have a great history with sally.

Summer: Sally?

Chelsea: I know, but listen, she’s changed. Trust me, I had my reservations about her at first too. But seeing how supportive and wonderful she’s been to adam when he’s had to handle all this very upsetting connor news, I think that’s just who she is as a person.

Summer: Okay, well, based on my experience with sally, she really had nowhere to go but up, so…

Chelsea: Okay, but you have to admit, from a creative and business perspective, she is very talented.

Summer: Sure, sally has put out some great designs, but, I mean, she’s not even in fashion anymore. She moved on to interior design.

Chelsea: Well, apparently she’s not happy with that decision. And, I mean, she is a fashion designer at heart. It’s, like, in her dna. And according to adam, she misses it.

Summer: I’m really not thrilled with this idea. Sure, it would solve some of the problems, but… it’s sally.

Adam: Okay, like I said, it’s not a bad thing. In fact, you may see it as a great opportunity.

Sally: Okay, now I am concerned. What– what is this opportunity?

Adam: Chelsea’s planning on taking a leave of absence from marchetti. She wants to have more time for connor. She wants to be available to focus on his needs. So, I asked her if she would suggest to summer that you fill in to finish the winter line.

Sally: Wait, you asked chelsea to pitch me to summer?

Adam: Yeah, but don’t get upset, okay? I did not commit to anything on your behalf. I just suggested it to test the waters out.

Sally: So, your ex is supposed to tell the woman who hates me, “hey, what about this option?”

Adam: You told me how much you miss working in fashion. And this possibility just opened up. I felt like I had to say something. I mean, anything to get you a shot at getting back to your dream, your one first love. I hope I didn’t do the wrong thing again.

Sally: I’m not upset. I’m not. How could I be? I mean, everything that you’re going through, and you still thought about me. I– you’re amazing.

Adam: I’m just relieved you’re not upset. And this could be a perfect thing for you.

Sally: How did chelsea respond?

Adam: She sees the logic. She’s totally open to the idea.

Sally: Wow. Okay, well, I’d have to thank her for that. And yeah, yeah, it would be an amazing opportunity for me right now. I’m just not gonna hold my breath. I mean, the likelihood of summer actually wanting to work with me is probably slim to none.

Adam: Come on, you don’t know that. There is a chance that she’s let go of the acrimony between you. You’re talented, and you’ve got a lot of business savvy. Summer’s father had enough faith in you to back your business. Nick’s opinion counts for a lot. So with some luck, you know, maybe summer will recognize that this could be a smart move for marchetti.

Sally: I really appreciate your faith in me. But it’s a long shot, adam. It’s great. But it’s not likely. And I really do not wanna spend our last night together for a while talking about me and my career.

Adam: Well, I did not want tonight to be all about business either. And I can think of a few more appealing topics.

Sally: You can, can you?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Like what?

Adam: I think we deserve something special before I go back to the east coast. Don’t you?

Jack: This is a private conversation. Just because you overheard something doesn’t mean you’re entitled to know more.

Tucker: Yeah, but I thought I overheard you say that ashley’s in paris. Is that something dr. Alan approved of? Has he weighed in on her diagnosis yet?

Diane: Tucker, now is not the time.

Jack: Where ashley is, what she does, what her diagnosis is, is none of your damn business.

Tucker: Jack, don’t you realize by now that I only have the best intentions for her and her recovery at this point? Oh, I guess he didn’t tell you that I was the one who brought her home after she collapsed.

Jack: Why would I tell her anything about you? You have nothing to do with this.

Tucker: Oh, really? Nothing to do with it? She hit on me, you know. She wants to start back up with me again.

Diane: Tucker, I think you heard what you wanna hear.

Tucker: No, no. She wants me to believe that we could still have everything we might have had as a couple. But I am not gonna go there with her, so I took her home.

Diane: Well, good for you. But I’m wondering why you suddenly decided to be her hero. What’s– what’s in it for you?

Tucker: Nothing. I just don’t wanna make matters worse for her. ‘Cause I still care about her, believe it or not.

Jack: As if you ever did.

Tucker: Yes, I did. I still do. So why don’t you tell me what she’s doing in paris?

Febreze

Summer: Chelsea, I really appreciate you trying to find a fix for this. I’m gonna need to think about it.

Chelsea: I understand. And I’m sorry I’m not giving you much notice.

Summer: Well, personal issues don’t really adhere to a work schedule. It– it’s fine. It– it will get handled.

Chelsea: This is really stressing you out, isn’t it?

Summer: No. Not this. Well, I mean, not just this. A couple of things have come up recently. It requires me to make a big decision. And to trust people that I have a very good reason not to. Actually, you might wanna get a refill. I have a lot to catch you up on.

Claire: Thanks for the invite, but I should get home.

Harrison: I wish you could stay. We had the best day ever.

Claire: Oh, I had the best day too. But fingers crossed we’re gonna have even better days, you and me.

Kyle: That’s right. Go on, dinner’s almost ready.

Claire: So… do you think that summer was being sincere about considering me for the nanny position? Or was she just being polite?

Kyle: In front of harrison? She wouldn’t get his hopes up just to shoot them down.

Claire: I guess I’m nervous about getting my hopes up too, so I’m being cautious.

Kyle: I mean, summer had to have seen how happy and comfortable harrison was around you. I mean, how could she not? And I told her that being around you puts his little mind at ease, so it makes sense that she’d be open to reconsidering her position on this.

Claire: Open’s great, but that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal. I mean, it must still be hard for summer to trust me. Why should she?

Sally: Dinner was perfect.

Adam: And so were you.

Sally: I’m gonna miss you. But my heart will be with you the entire time you’re in maryland.

Adam: It helps to hear that. I am a little tense about going. I have this constant worrying in the pit of my stomach, you know, just wanting him to be okay. We haven’t seen him in person since we dropped him off at the facility. I mean, it feels like forever.

Sally: Well, maybe that’s been good for connor. He’s probably been improving every day.

Adam: No, that’s what worries me. You know, how will our trip affect him? Is it gonna help or is it gonna trigger a setback? Are we selfish to go? Is this more about us than him? You know, ’cause the last thing that I wanna do is set him back anymore or undo any progress.

Sally: Adam, come on. Don’t create negative scenarios around the unknown. Seeing you and chelsea may be exactly what connor needs right now. Having in-person time with his parents could make all the difference in the world.

Adam: You think so?

Sally: I mean, the doctors would tell you otherwise, wouldn’t they?

Adam: Oh, they sure would.

Sally: I am sure connor misses you. And having the comfort of the people that love him more than anything in this world could really, really lift his spirits.

Adam: Well, I hope you’re right.

Sally: But, connor will be taking cues from you and chelsea. So, if you’re tense, he’s gonna know it.

Adam: Well, that’s the last thing that I want. I don’t want him to worry about us.

Sally: Right.

Adam: Or our feelings.

Sally: So, then all you need to do is be the calm, devoted, insightful father that he loves and adores.

Adam: You always know the right thing to say. Especially when I need to hear it the most. And I can’t tell you how much I love you for that. Among other things.

Jack: Okay, fine. You wanna know why ashley’s in paris. Alan seems to think that this situation with ashley stems from an incident that happened after her fight with you.

Tucker: Please don’t tell me you’re trying to convince her or alan that it was our fight in paris that’s the underlying cause of these issues. Really? Just blame tucker again?

Jack: No, no. This isn’t about tucker mccall for once, or about your little fight. I said it was after the conflict, but you blew right by that.

Tucker: Oh. In that case, I’m sorry. I apologize. Please go on.

Jack: Do you have any clue as to what might have happened after? Anything that might inform this conversation?

Tucker: No, I wish I did. But, I came right back here after the fight and I didn’t see or talk to ashley until much later after she got back. So is the plan that dr. Alan’s taking her back there so she can face the trauma head-on? Sounds reasonable.

Diane: I’m glad you approve.

Tucker: I wish her the best. And I will– I will try not to run into her while I’m there.

Jack: Wait. You’re going to paris as well?

Diane: Tucker, seriously? You’re going to paris? What is wrong with you?

Tucker: My trip was already booked, diane. Would you like to see my itinerary? It’s a business trip for glissade, which is headquartered there, if you recall.

Jack: Oh, yes, I do recall. A convenient coincidence, isn’t it? God, I’m so sorry I told you anything about ashley’s whereabouts. It’s just the kind of information you would abuse.

Tucker: Don’t you get tired of this? Always playing the blame game with me?

Jack: Oh, I am sick and tired of it. But for what it’s worth, it’s not a game. I have no doubt in my mind you played some role, however minor, in what’s happening to ashley right now. And no, I don’t trust you not to interfere and drag her further back. Stay the hell away from ashley.

Tucker: I intend to, jack. The last thing I would like to do is muddy things for her. If she’s truly serious about dealing with this.

Jack: If?

Tucker: Yeah, her decisions have not exactly been set in stone lately. That’s not a judgment on her, that’s just an observation.

Jack: You don’t get to doubt ashley, or question her judgment. You don’t get to have any questions about anything in her life. You understand that?

Tucker: May I be a concerned observer in that case? And no matter what her diagnosis is, or whatever…

Jack: This is none of your business, do you hear me? And you care to keep this to yourself. The last thing ashley needs right now is her personal life dragged around by outsiders.

Tucker: I haven’t told anyone.

Jack: Good, keep it that way.

Tucker: Of course I told you a while ago, didn’t I? And what did you do? Instead of listening, you just went off on me. Because you’re part of the problem, jack. Yeah, you’re part of the reason she didn’t get the attention she needed when she needed it. Now, I would love nothing more than for her to beat this thing, and go back to being the person she was. Do you?

Jack: Boy, we can’t get that bastard out of our life, can we? If he does anything to jeopardize her recovery…

Diane: You know what, jack? Maybe we should just accept what tucker’s saying.

Jack: What?

Diane: I mean, I– I don’t like him or trust him either, but think about it. What motive does he have for interfering?

Jack: Oh, far be it for me to try to guess at his motivations. All I know is he could do real damage now that ashley has finally agreed to get help. Seeing him on the streets of paris would trigger her immediately.

Summer: Kyle wants to hire my new cousin claire as harrison’s nanny.

Chelsea: Oh, victoria’s daughter.

Summer: Yeah.

Chelsea: Adam mentioned her. Is she qualified? I don’t know much about her.

Summer: Oh, my god, chelsea, it is so ugly. I mean, it’s beyond ugly. It was very dangerous. Basically, claire came to genoa city with a mandate from her crazy aunt to get in good with the newmans.

Chelsea: A mandate?

Summer: Yes. Her aunt, jordan. She’s been out to destroy the entire newman family for years. All because of this slight to her late sister that happened decades ago. So she was using claire, and the two of them poisoned basically my whole family. They tried to kill my dad, my grandparents, my aunt victoria, I mean, claire’s own mother. And if her aunt jordan weren’t dead, she would be trying to finish the job. And all of the newmans have just forgiven her. They’ve welcomed claire back into the family, and now she’s supposed to look after my kid.

Chelsea: Wow. That was a lot that happened in a very short amount of time.

Summer: I know. And the whole thing is like, “poor claire.” That’s what everybody says. She’s jordan’s victim, because she had to deal with all the psychological damage from 20 years of brainwashing. And– and I– I get that. I do. What I don’t understand is how they just trust her suddenly. I– I can’t do that. I’ve been the lone holdout because I have to protect my son.

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, I’m a firm believer in having caution, especially where our kids are involved. We need to protect them at all costs. I don’t know. I mean, if the newmans of all people have come to accept claire after everything she did, they must trust her. They must see something in her that gives them confidence. Maybe eventually, one day, you’ll be able to see that too.

Kyle: So, are you trying to talk yourself out of a job?

Claire: No, no, no. I’m just saying, look at me. On paper, I shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a kid. Or an adult. Or anyone, really.

Kyle: Well, this isn’t on paper. This is in person. And practically everyone has said you were a good fit as harrison’s nanny.

Claire: Well, that makes me feel really good. But if summer can’t overlook my history, no hard feelings. I get it.

Kyle: Well, don’t worry. Summer wouldn’t have said anything if she wasn’t seriously considering it.

[ Cell phone buzzes ]

Kyle: Hmm. Well, I can’t be sure what this means, but summer says she’s on her way over. To talk.

Adam: Hey, something just hit me.

Sally: Something good or something bad?

Adam: Well, potentially something great. But that depends on you.

Sally: Okay. What is it?

Adam: Move in with me.

Did you know…

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Summer: Claire, hey. I didn’t know that you’d be here. Is everything okay with harrison?

Kyle: Yeah, he’s upstairs getting washed up for dinner. I’m happy to report today was a massive success.

Claire: The ferris wheel was a big hit. So were the ducks.

Summer: Good. I’m glad. And, um, actually, I’m glad that you’re here. I was thinking about our conversation in the park and I– I wanted to follow up on that.

Kyle: Have you made a decision about the nanny position?

Summer: Not yet. There were some questions that I wanted to ask.

Claire: I’m ready to answer anything and everything that you wanna know.

Summer: Well, um, okay. Most importantly, what would you do in case of an emergency?

Claire: I would call 911 immediately, depending on the severity of the emergency, and then I would text or call you and kyle.

Summer: Do you have any first aid training?

Claire: I took a course in high school, so I know the basics, including cpr. Do you have any qualifications in childcare, like a certificate or a degree or diploma? Anything like that?

Claire: No, but I’ve been doing extensive research on childcare.

Summer: What have you learned so far?

Claire: So much. I’ve learned that children harrison’s age need to have an established schedule, and I would be responsible for honoring it at all times when I’m with him. I would also need to know his likes and dislikes, things like how much outdoor time is best for him. What kind of after school activities would you do with him?

Claire: First, I would limit his screen time. It’s fine to have a little bit, but there are just so many other things to do for fun. I love art and music, and it seems like he does too, so we would paint or draw or color while listening to music. Maybe we could get a keyboard and figure it out together. You guys would be more than welcome to join the jam sessions.

Summer: Well, you’ve clearly put a lot of thought into this, and you’ve done your homework.

Claire: It’s been really fun for me. But on the flip side, I understand the trauma that harrison has faced. Not just the recent abduction, but my mom filled me in on the whole history with his biological mother and the man he thought was his father. And I can relate to those feelings of abandonment and– and confusion that harrison must have felt.

Summer: Kyle and I have done everything in our power to mitigate the damage from all of those early losses.

Claire: And that is what is so beautiful about your family. You have dealt with every trauma. It’s obvious that he still sees the world as a magical place that he can’t wait to explore. That adorable, caring, and resilient little boy is a testament to your love.

Sharon: Chelsea! Nice to see you! How’s connor? How are you?

Chelsea: Um, honestly, things are a lot rockier than I’d hoped. And right now, I’m not sure how much rockier they’re going to get.

Sally: Wait, you want me to move in with you?

Adam: I want… is it too out of left field? You look shocked.

Sally: No, I’m not shocked. I’m just surprised.

Adam: Even though you’re here most nights?

Sally: I mean, yeah, that’s true.

Adam: And I mean, you have stuff in the bathrooms and extra outfits in the closet, just in case.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, that’s also true.

Adam: And this place, it’s pretty great.

Sally: I’m not arguing any of that. Look, we don’t have to talk about this tonight. I mean, you’re getting ready to go out of town.

Adam: But, I’m not gonna be gone long. You could move in while I’m gone. I mean, take over the closet to your– your heart’s content. Redecorate if you want.

Sally: This is a really big decision, adam.

Adam: I mean, look, I know that you have housekeeping at the club, but you know what they say. There’s no place like home.

Sally: That’s a really loaded word, you know.

Adam: It is. Home means something constant. Something you can count on. It’s a place where you can recharge and be yourself. There’s something to be said about having your own key and your own refrigerator with your own food. Your own bed. I mean, look, I know that it’s a very big step.

Sally: Yeah, it’s a huge step, especially when things are so up in the air for you right now. Adam, please look at me. You don’t have to give me my own closet and my own key to know that you can count on me. You know that, right? I’m not going anywhere.

Adam: Well, maybe I want you to know you can count on me.

Sally: That sounds beautiful. But I am gonna take a moment to think about this. And I really want you to do the same.

Adam: Hmm. Well, take all the time you need. But just know how much this would mean to me. Think of how happy we would be. Let me give you a place to call home. It was one thing when my mom got alzheimer’s,

Sharon: You must be so happy finally getting to see connor again in person.

Chelsea: Happy, yes. But also torn between excitement and absolute terror.

Sharon: Well, there’s nothing to fear in seeing your son.

Chelsea: I know. You know what? I think I’m just– I think I’m just missing billy. You know, he’s my– he’s my touchstone. He keeps me grounded.

Sharon: Well, don’t sell yourself short, okay? I know that you have a wealth of strength and a bottomless reserve of love and compassion for connor. And that’s exactly what he needs right now.

Chelsea: Well, thank you for the kind words, sharon. But I’ve really had to rely on a lot of people to get through this. Adam, actually, being one of them, he’s surprised me through this journey.

Sharon: Yeah. When he lets himself care, I think he has a lot more to offer than even he realizes.

Chelsea: It’s true. And don’t get me wrong. I mean, he certainly has stumbled, but so have I. Overall, though, throughout this whole thing, he’s been really open and caring and compassionate. I’m grateful that I could rely on that.

Sharon: Well, I love that for you. And for him. You know, adam can really rise to the occasion just when you need it the most.

Hold me steady now

and I need your solid ground

to carry on

’cause I’m not ready

so hold me steady

Summer: Look, I appreciate all the research that you’ve done for harrison’s sake. He really is such a special little boy, and he has experienced a lot of loss. But that joy that he has, the excitement to meet every day, I want, well, I mean, we want to nurture that.

Kyle: And the projects and the music and the rest, we love that.

Claire: Your son is so sweet. And I feel like we’ve bonded after everything we’ve been through. I guess, privately, I was hoping that you would change your mind about me. So, yeah, I did a little bit of research. But also because I feel like this is my career path, working with kids. It feels right.

Kyle: You’ve definitely gotten a good start.

Claire: Well, I wanted to learn as much as I could so that I could get a strong sense of harrison. So I could best serve his needs. And, to be honest, I– I’m envious of how lucky he is to have such loving and supportive parents.

Summer: Okay. We get it. You don’t have to lay it on so thick. It’s fine.

Claire: I must sound so serious. Um, well, I mean every word of it. And I’m not looking for pity here. But I would’ve loved to have grown up with parents who put their child first. Makes the world a different place when you know where you belong and who you belong with.

Audra: I got your message, tucker. How did you find out I was in paris? Are you keeping tabs on me?

Tucker: No, I’m not.

Audra: What part of I’m done with you don’t you understand?

Tucker: If that’s the case, why would you be meeting with personnel at the companies glissade acquired?

Audra: So you are tracking my every move.

Tucker: No, uh, I’m not. Um, what part of all or nothing don’t you understand? You walked away from me. You walked away from everything.

Audra: Okay, just because you think that way doesn’t mean I do. You and I are done. Glissade and I are not.

Tucker: Audra, do you really think that’s how this is gonna work? I’m afraid you’re very mistaken. (Vo) struggling with moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Audra: You’re stalking me, tucker, and I’m not gonna stand for it. So you better tell whoever is tailing me to back the hell off.

Tucker: I am not stalking you, I’m not keeping tabs on you. An employee at glissade contacted me to ask me if i would be attending the meeting with ms. Charles. A meeting I had no awareness of and did not approve of.

Audra: I can meet with whomever I wish. You don’t control me.

Tucker: But I do control glissade, audra. So that’s why I canceled that meeting. And then I heard that you were uh, meeting with the companies that glissade acquired, so I canceled those too. Stay away from glissade. It’s you… you walked away from me. And that means you have nothing to do with glissade, okay?

Audra: We’ll see about that.

Summer: Harrison does enjoy spending time with you. And honestly, seeing him so worried about you just hurts my heart. So maybe this is the answer. Maybe if he can see that you’re okay, he can go back to being his normal, adorable self. So, I guess with that and all the research that you’ve done and knowing that kyle is already on board, I would like to offer you the position. On a trial basis.

Harrison: All washed and clean.

Kyle: Ah, good job, buddy.

Harrison: Mom, are you staying for dinner?

Kyle: Well, I have good news. Everything’s all worked out. So are you still okay with claire being your new nanny?

Harrison: Yay!

Jack: Hey there. Did we miss a party or a celebration?

Kyle: Well, summer and I just hired claire as harrison’s new nanny.

Jack: Well, congratulations, claire, and welcome.

Adam: Look, I know that– that it’s too late for me to ask for favors for myself, so I’m not gonna start now. But… please just help my son make it through this and get better. And please help chelsea have the strength to get him there. Okay, what happens to me, I– I probably deserve. But them, just– just look out for them and help them get to the other side of this. They deserve that. And so much more. Please.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

another visit? I had to come. I hear you stabbed yourself for me.

Yesterday I saw you dining alone? How you doing there? I can’t believe he’s really gone. I know. Keep looking at the present he got us, thinking he was just holding this. Such a sweet and thoughtful gift. Unexpected but perfect. Typical of your dad. I feel like i should be doing something, but all I want to do is sit here right now. Hey, then that’s what you should do. You know, I’m going to make myself useful and, um, start unpacking our suitcases.

[ Sighs ] This is so surreal. We’re supposed to be on our honeymoon right now. I know.

[ Knock on door ] Are you expecting anyone? No. Somebody probably found out about my dad. I’m not sure I can handle any more sympathy right now. Don’t worry. I will get rid of whoever it is. Ah. Fair samantha, come in. Thank you. Oh, gosh.

[ Chuckles ] Welcome to my humble workspace. You can never have too many external hard drives. -That’s what I always say. -So, you know, I’ve been thinking about what we discussed at the wedding. So much was going on. And, you know, of course, I was naturally, deeply troubled by the revelation that jason was coerced into working for the fbi. So upon further reflection, I feel like I just have to re-emphasize that tangling with the federal bureau of investigation is highly ill-advised. What do you mean, spinelli? Are you saying that you don’t want to help me anymore? It’s, uh — it’s late. Something happen? You tell me. You don’t have any bruises, huh? Why would I? Last night you got in the middle of sonny attacking dex.

[ Cellphone ringing ]


Obviously, I’m dining alone — by choice. So feel free to move on. My salad is getting cold. What are the odds? Both of us choosing the same diner? I think you’re following me. Go away. I haven’t even ordered yet. How’s the food? Now, fergus, am i gonna have to report you to your own disciplinary committee for harassment? I’ll leave you to your salad and your novel momentarily. But first, I’m curious. Why now? Is that a metaphysical question? You were disbarred years ago, but yet you weren’t even interested enough to show up in person to hear the verdict or to file an appeal. And yet, here you are on a pilgrimage to albany, where the fate of your law career hangs in the balance. So I’ll repeat the question — why appeal now? Chase, I’m so sorry about your father. He was a wonderful man. I will cherish him always. Thank you. I know he really enjoyed your friendship, too. We appreciate you coming by, but, um — I brought you something. This is in lieu of a casserole, which I couldn’t make anyway. I brought you this. Oh, my. Barolo? Wow, this isn’t easy to find here. Well, the two of you should really be on your honeymoon, strolling arm in arm through a piazza under the moonlight. And since that isn’t possible, I thought I’d bring a taste of italy to you. -Thank you. -It’s very generous. Thank you for everything. I’m going to go open one of these up. I’m glad to have a chance to thank you for being such a good friend to my dad at a time when he really needed one. That’s very kind, but I would prefer to skip the platitudes, if you don’t mind. I haven’t changed my mind, per se. And, you know, if jason had asked me directly, I’d gladly do anything I could, but… going behind jason’s back feels wrong. You know how much jason trusts you. I think the only reason why he hasn’t contacted you is ’cause he doesn’t want to drag you into this. It is very jason-like to try to handle everything on his own. It is still near impossible for me to believe that he’s been acting as an fbi informant. I know, which means they must have something on him, something huge, spinelli. I mean, what sort of circumstance could force him to be an fbi informant? I don’t know, but that’s what we need to figure out. De x came to my office earlier.Interesting conversation. Said sonny had attacked him and you intervened and kristina witnessed it, obviously traumatized by it. Why wouldn’t she be? It’s a hell of a thing to see your father do. Is dex pressing charges? No. He — he decided that he didn’t want to do that to kristina. Thank you. Don’t thank me. It was dex. He made the call. Do you agree with him? Yeah, I do. I mean, if we could get a conviction, what, sonny would serve two years max. Better to wait to bring sonny to justice with a charge that carries a longer sentence. So why are you here? Well, I heard dex’s version of events… …and now I need to hear yours. Well, normally, I’d send flowers, but my options were somewhat limited in prison. Ah. And a self-inflicted wound was the next best thing, huh? See, you, you get me. -Let me see the scar. -[ Laughs ] Well, unfortunately, my wound is bandaged, so the scar will have to remain a mystery for now. But if it makes you feel any better, pretty epic. I look forward to seeing it at another time. So are you gonna tell me what really happened? Some thug jumped me in the showers, uh, waited until I was vulnerable, then he made his move. Oh. I’m not buying it. -Why not? -Aren’t you a spy? Well, that’s not the job title on my business cards, but, uh, I suppose that’s an accurate description of my skills. Exactly. And with your experience, you would never let yourself be that vulnerable. And I’ll bet that you could outpower most of the prisoners at pentonville. Well, maybe I did just want to see you. Well, I understand that. I am good company.

[ Chuckles ] But I don’t believe that you would leave a liter of your blood on the shower floor for a chance meeting with me. So what’s really going on?


It’s not a platitude. It is the truth. I’m sorry. That came out all wrong. You’d think, with all the people I’ve lost in my life, that I would be able to do this better, but it just never gets easier. I’m sorry for offending you. It’s fine. I didn’t mean to snap at you. Tu rns out I’m not very goodat this grief stuff. You know, if it had been up to me… …your father and I really never would have been friends. I don’t know if you noticed, but, um, I have acquaintances but very few friends. That’s because I find most people annoying. But not your father. Caring about him as much as I did sort of… it snuck up on me. Yeah, he — he does, uh… he did that to people. He was… warm and engaging and never self-pitying, even when his illness gave him every right to be angry and feel sorry for himself. That was one of the most impressive things about him. He faced the end of his life with great dignity and courage. Chase, you should be very proud of him. I am. I’m so proud. And that is why it is killing me that — that I, uh…

[ Sighs ] That you what? It doesn’t matter. Oh, chase. If there’s one thing that I learned from my husband luke’s death, it’s that regrets only bring you more pain. And I don’t think your father would want that for you. So if, in fact, there is something that’s bothering you, you need to let it go. I can’T. Why not?

[ Sniffles ] Because it’s all my fault.

[ Sniffles ] My dad pushed himself so hard because I asked him to officiate my wedding. I wanted him up there so bad at the altar that I didn’t even think about what it would do to his body. That wedding was too much for my dad, and that is why — oh, chase. Do not do this to yourself. Clearly you think there’s some big secret here. But there’s really nothing nefarious about this. It just took me a long time to recognize what a huge miscarriage of justice my disbarment was.

[ Scoffs ] I don’t buy that for a second. Well, it’s a good thing your opinion doesn’t matter then. I think you’ve been playing the long game, biding your time until you figure everybody forgot about what you did so you could sneak back in the side door and plead procedural violations to get your law license reinstated with minimal pushback.

[ Sighs ] I cannot believe how well you know me. You’re right. This was all part of my master plan, because now I have the legal system just where I want it. Oh, stop painting yourself as some sort of helpless victim. You clearly are not helpless. You have an excellent command of the law, and you are nobody’s victim. You essentially did this to yourself. With a lot of help from you. And on that note, I have a question for you. What’s the real reason that you made it your mission to keep me from practicing law? That’s a bit of an exaggeration. Is it? Because you went out of your way to track ava down to get her to sign that affidavit against me. It’s very complicated. Uh, you wouldn’t understand. Oh, well, maybe if you talk real slow and I can try and sound out the big words, I might be able to keep up. I’ve offended you. That wasn’t my intention. I’m not offended. I don’t like being lied to. My evasiveness has nothing to do with your intelligence. I think you are extremely smart. But as you said, I’m a spy. And these are spy games. All that entails. Everyone plays fast and loose with the truth, and everyone has a double or triple motive. It is, to quote a master of our craft, a wilderness of mirrors. Nothing is as it appears to be. So you’re not really guilty. Is that where you’re going with all this? I’m in prison because I’ve been accused of being the head of pikeman. But I haven’t been tried yet for my alleged crimes because they’re afraid of what would come out in a courtroom. So there I sit. Well, everyone is entitled to due process. But you’re not exactly innocent. Not by a long shot. But neither are any of the people that I’m playing against. And that includes anna devane. I didn’t see the fight start. When I got there, sonny was kicking dex, and I just — I just pulled him off. How did you even know the fight was happening? I mean, I could see that sonny wasn’t happy that dex was at the reception, and I just, you know, had a bad feeling. Rightly so. And when sonny followed dex out, I — I went after them just in case. And you found sonny attacking dex? Anything else? Dex has already decided he’s not going to press charges. This isn’t an interrogation. It’s informational for me, jason. I’m trying to understand what the hell is going on with sonny. Is it off the record? Yeah. I mean, he lost it. He threatened to kill me and dex. What exactly did he say? -I’m sure dex told you. -No, I need to hear it from you.

[ Sighs, clears throat ] He said, uh — sonny said something about emptying a gun in both of our heads. Oh, gosh. I-I — I do not understand how sonny would allow something like this to happen in a public place where anyone could witness it. I mean, I was — I was 200 feet away, not to mention the bride and groom and bride’s extended family, who, for all intents and purposes, seem to think that sonny walks on water. They certainly wouldn’t if they saw that, though. No, they wouldn’T. Do you think that sonny would try to have you and dex killed?


Officiating your wedding was the honor of your father’s life. You saw him at the reception. He was fully present and over the moon watching you in brook lynn. But you saw what happened to him during the vows. I mean, what if that was too much for him? What if it was exactly the opposite? Your father was struggling recently. But he was determined to seeyou and brook lynn married. Officiating your wedding was the thing that was keeping him going. It’s what kept him alive. I never thought about it like that. Sometimes we get too close to a situation to really see it clearly. You trusted him to officiate. You didn’t infantilize him. You made sure he had his dignity to the end of his life. Do not punish yourself for his death. It was sad and unfair. But sometimes that’s just the way life is. And it’s nobody’s fault, least of all yours. But I tell you something else. I never heard your father brag… …except… when he talked about you and finn.

[ Chuckling ] He was so proud of you. He loved to talk about you. He never stopped talking about you. In fact, it was his only truly annoying quality.

[ Laughs ] Oh, man. I think that was the first time I laughed since I got the news. Glad I could amuse you. Care to let me in on the joke? You had to be there. Okay. Here you go. Oh, uh, actually, I cannot stay. So you two enjoy this. And don’t bother to show me out. This place is the size of a postage stamp. Don’t listen to my grandmother. It’s just who she is. She calls them like she sees them. Spinelli, I would not be involving you if I thought I could do this alone. But there’s no way I can hack into the fbi’s system by myself. Finding evidence like that is next to impossible. Jason is far too important of an asset. Whatever they have against him, the fbi will be protecting with their strictest of security protocols. Look, I know that I am asking a lot, maybe even too much, but I would never be asking for your help if it were just for me or — or for jason. But please, spinelli. Do it for danny. He is just a kid, and he’s been through so much already. And he adores his father. And he just got him back. I don’t know what danny would do if he lost jason again. You know, there was a time I would have told you that sonny would never think about targeting me. Because you two were so close. Because it would be the wrong call. I mean, something happens to me, something definitely happens to dex? Sonny’s the first suspect. He’s got to know the pcpd and the fbi will do whatever it takes to put him away for life. Of course. I mean, the sonny that I knew was smart, he was cool-headed. There were lines that he would not cross. I’m hoping that’s still the case. But you can’t be certain anymore. Anna and I go way back. We came up in the wsb together. We worked side by side on, uh, ah, too many ops to count. Which may be why anna suspects me of all kinds of nefarious things. A few of which I’ve actually done. But no one is innocent in our world. That’s just how it works with espionage. It’s hard enough to navigate that twisted universe when you’ve been trained for it, and you clearly haven’t been. What is that supposed to mean? If you were a spy, you never would have made the mistake of visiting me at pentonville. And here I thought you enjoyed that visit. I did. Which is why it pains me to say this, because I worry it means this will be the last time you come see me. But you have no idea what you gave me that time. Okay. You’re a spy. Former head of the wsb. Mm-hmm. I assume, even in prison, you have a way of keeping yourself in the loop. Mm-hmm. What could I have possibly told you that you don’t already know? Well, allow me to give you your first lesson in espionage. A good spy never tells.


Really have to hand it to my grandmother. She really knows her stuff about wine. This is exactly. What I needed tonight. Yeah. Me, too. Something wrong with that sip?

[ Sighs ] No. No, actually, I’m really enjoying it. Good. It’s just crazy how fast everything can change. I mean, one minute, we’re about to go enjoy our honeymoon. And the — the next, I’m getting the worst news of my life. It’s like I have whiplash. Does that make sense? It does. Chase, you are grieving an incredible loss. I know how much pain I’m in. And it must be even worse for finn. I mean, dad is the last parent that he had left. So how can I blame him for drinking when I’m — I’m doing it, too? Your situations are very different, though. You don’t have a problem with alcohol. Finn’s in recovery. -Yeah. Alcohol is dangerous for finn in a way that it just isn’t for you. Yeah, you’re right. I talked to finn when you took violet on a walk. Mm-hmm. He said he’s aware that he broke his sobriety and what that means. And he told me to pour out the rest of the bourbon. And then he promised he would never have another drink. That’s good. I’m not saying that it isn’t a big deal that he had a drink because he’s been sober for so long, but… …finn is the one that found dad. Every time I think about what that must have been like, I… look, I don’t — I don’t want to add to how much finn is already beating himself up. If I’m as supportive as possible, I-I know… I know that I can get him through this without another drink. Okay. That’s what you’re going to do. And I’ll be right by your side supporting him through it. Thank you. Hacking into the fbi is a federal crime which can land us both in prison for life. Are you willing to chance losing your freedom over this? I would never risk being separated from my family if I didn’t think it was absolutely necessary for both danny and jason.

[ Knock on door ] Knock, knock. Sorry I’m late. James was refusing to eat his broccoli. Ooh. Sam, hi. Maxie, hi. It was so great seeing you guys at brook lynn’s wedding. Dante was really getting his groove on.

[ Chuckles ] After everything he’s been through, it’s nice to see him doing so well. I know. Right? He’s, like, basically back to his old self again. The doctors are really amazed how quickly his recovery has been. -I really love that. -Me, too. You know what? I am, uh — I’ve got to get going, but why don’t the four of us grab dinner sometime? On me. That sounds great. Right, spinelli? -Yeah? -Offer most delightful, yes. Okay, so I’ll call you, and we’ll schedule something? -Yeah. -Okay. Think about what I said? I’ll be in touch. Bye, maxie. -Bye. That was cryptic. I’m guessing I interrupted something? What is it sam wants you to think about? She contacted the paneland offered to sign an affidavit that you had perjured yourself. Fergus, did you ever think about checking into ava’s past before you decided to take her on as an unimpeachable witness? The woman is quite literally a murderer. Doesn’t make her allegations any less true. How about the fact that she had a personal vendetta against me? Well, ava did mention the fact that you essentially destroyed her brother’s life. Strikingly similar to the way you destroyed both my brothers’ lives. You know what I find interesting? Neil never once mentioned you to me. I mean, that’s weird. We were very close. I mean, that’s not normal that he didn’t tell me that he had a brother. So, fergus, why do you think that is?

That’s the hardest part my brothers and I… had issues. Emotions were running high after my father’s death, and we argued over his estate. Angry words were exchanged. Feelings were hurt. I didn’t speak to either of them for a decade. So much for brotherly love. I deeply regret that we weren’t able to resolve our differences before they passed. But how was I to know that, within the span of two years, they’d both be gone? And all because of you. At lea st I was able to consolemyself with the knowledge that you’ll never be allowed to practice law again. And I intend to do everything in my power to make sure you never are.


Yet another reason that you’d be able to take somalie going after me isn’t going to make up for abandoning your brothers, alienating them, or the decades of time that you wasted that you’re not going to get back. You know, I was actually hoping that you’d be able to take some responsibility for your actions, but clearly that’s not the case. Yet another reason you’re probably not fit to practice law. I’m just upholding the ethics and standards of my profession. Despite what you think, it’s not personal. You know, if you were under oath right now, you would have just committed perjury. Actually, you’re the perjurer, and I’m the one with the law license. Enjoy your salad. When I first heard about my dad’s als diagnosis, I did a lot of research. I know that it’s always fatal. Intellectually, I knew that it would eventually take my dad’s life, but… my dad’s so strong. I mean, he was superman to me. But now that he’s gone, I realize that there was a tiny part of me that actually thought he’d beat it. Beat a fatal disease. How insane is that? No, it’s not. It makes sense.

[ Sighs ] I just wasn’t prepared for how much this would hurt. I’ve called him — or, I’ve tried to call him like four times today. I just can’t believe I’m never gonna talk to him again. I just wish there was something I could do to make this even a tiny bit easier for you. Just you being here. That makes all the difference. And I think my dad knew that. What do you mean? Your grandmo ther made me realizehow much it meant to my dad to see us getting ready to spend our lives together. And… I think that he felt like it was okay to go after the wedding. He knew I wouldn’t be alone. He knew I’d have you. Always. Sam thinks it’s the only way that jason can retake control of his life. By you hacking into the fbi? Ah, I know how it sounds. In light of our — you know, our renewed closeness and — and — and our daughter, I just — I thought you should know what was going on. But you haven’t told sam yet whether you’re going to do it or not. Well, at the wedding I-I said that I’d do it, but just now I was telling her I was having second thoughts, and she had some very persuasive and heart-tugging arguments. So your entrance was incredibly well-timed, because it now gives me some breathing room to — to think it over. Okay. First, I think it is insane what the fbi is doing to jason. And, of course, I want you to help him get out from underneath their thumb. And I really do understand where sam is coming from as far as danny is concerned. She’s just trying to protect her son. But, spinelli, isn’t hacking the fbi a felony? A federal crime of the most punishable nature. Mm. They could lock me up and throw away the key if I get caught. Yeah, yeah, that’s what I thought. So you doing this could put you at risk, and in turn, your family. That’s — that’s why, if you don’t want me to do it, I’m — I’m — I’m happy to turn sam down. So I had ahold of sonny, and I told dex to — to go, and sonny was just yelling threats. And then we heard some plates drop, and we turned and we saw kristina. And kristina was in shock. She was staring at sonny, and then — and then she took off. And I told dex to go again, because I still had sonny. And it wasn’t — you know, he was still not rational, but he was no longer completely out of control, and I let him go. And then he went after kristina, and I called carly. To talk sonny down. She’d be the only one who could get through to him. Carly to the rescue again. What do you mean? What does that mean? Who else did carly rescue? I don’t care. I don’t care what information I gave you in pentonville. I don’t care about the crimes that anna suspects you of. I don’t care that you stabbed yourself because I know you’re going to be fine. The only thing I care about is that my friend, my best friend, jason, that he stays safe. Never met the man. But he must be a great guy if he can inspire you to be this loyal to him. He deserves peace now that he’s home. Ah, yes. Peace. I remember what that’s like. It’s been a while, though. I’m just asking. Whatever is going on, keep jason out of it.

[ Monitor beeping ] Given the respect I have for your intelligence, I won’t go through the motions of assuring you that I’ll never harm your friend when I’d probably kill him if I had to. But cheer up. I mean, what are the odds I’ll even run into your mr. Morgan? After this little vacation, I’ll be whisked back to pentonville and locked away in a cell again. Glad to hear it. I should go. Get some rest. Maybe I’ll come back and see you before you head back to prison. You shouldn’T. You should stay far away from me.


If I wasn’t a part of this equation, would you do this? Despite a plethora of misgivings, I would. Okay, I think you should help them. -Really? -Yeah. Yeah, you’re the only person with the skill set who could actually pull this off. I just — I have one requirement. Anything, maximista. Don’t get caught. I wasn’t planning on it. I mean it, spinelli. You can’t get caught. You have to promise me you’re going to be careful. And if it seems like the fbi is even a little bit onto you, you abandon ship because no one, especially jason, wants you to sacrifice yourself for him. I’ll be cautious and untraceable. You better be, ’cause the kids and I really need you. -You do? -Yeah. They asked about you like four times today. James even said you would not have made him eat his broccoli. That little scamp. He’s right. He’s right.

[ Both chuckle ] Everybody really misses you living with us. Think maybe you could come over for dinner tomorrow night? Just try and stop me. Brennan was stabbed. Pentonville. He is currently undergoing treatment at G.H. And the stab wound was serious enough he lost a lot of blood. He’s going to be fine. Timing seems a little suspicious, don’t you think? Yeah, the placement of the wound, it makes me believe that the injury was self-inflicted. Get-out-of-jail-free card. Because he knows that, at G.H., He’s going to have a much easier time communicating with whoever it is that’s running pikeman for him. Yeah, so what does any of this have to do with carly? Initially, brennan insisted that he had been stabbed in the shower by another prisoner when his guard was down. But I know this man. His guard is never down. And he could tell that I wasn’t buying his explanation, and he changed his story and said that actually he had stabbed himself in order to see carly again. Is that possible? It’s not impossible. I mean, he does seem to be genuinely taken with her. But we both know that brennan is up to something, and he might be using carly as a cover. People will tell you I’m a bad, bad man that you should avoid at all costs. I don’t listen to people. I make up my own mind. Beautiful and smart. I have never meant anything more than the vows I said to you. Me either. I’m so glad my dad was there to hear them. Me, too.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Did you change your ringtone? Uh, no, I think that’s my dad’s phone. I took it from finn’s place. It’s alexis.

[ Ringing continues ] She must not know yet. My dad mentioned she was going out of town. Well, you should answer it before it goes to voicemail. Alexis, this is chase. Hi. Hi, chase. Can I talk to gregory, please? Yeah, I am — I’m sorry to do this over the phone, but, um… there’s something I got to tell you.

[ Gasps ]

[ Exhales slowly ] I’m sor– I’m so sorry, chase. I’m so sorry. Will you tell me if there’s anything I-I can do and details about the service? Yeah, take care. Take care of yourself.

[ Sighs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, thank you so much for inviting me out for tea. We’re delighted you joined us, Marie. Well, I guess you noticed how quickly I got here after I got your text. I didn’t realize how much I needed to get away from the mansion. And Constantine? No, no, he and I are doing just fine. Although, you know, there are such things as too much togetherness.

Bop. I hope we never go that way. That’s never gonna happen, love. Oh my goodness. Does this mean? With a little assist from Victoria, I asked your daughter for a hand in marriage and she made me the happiest man on earth by it. I said yes. Oh! So you’re engaged. Oh, that’s wonderful! Ah! Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!

Hey. Special delivery for Black Patch. Hey, dude. Thanks for coming, man. Well, I was glad to get your call. I was hoping to bring you guys on board with this whole Clyde thing. Hoping someone at the ISA can help decode that mess. Well, we know some pretty sharp code breakers over there. How are things going down at the station?

Well, you know, busy and, uh, with Harris out, we are, uh, we’re understaffed, as usual. And I’ll bet you a lot of those cases are linked to the drugs Clyde’s minions are pushing out on the streets right now. Oh yeah, yeah, the sooner we can crack that code. The sooner we can take him down and his whole operation.

Yeah, for sure, but to be honest, I’m more interested in what was on the outside of that book than what it says on the inside. What do you mean? What I mean is that it could be the key to securing my sister’s freedom and defining leash. Chen’s real killer.

Are you waiting for someone special or you just keep your door open for any old stranger? Only the handsome one. Oh, welcome home. Feels so good. I missed you. I missed you too. You know, I would have been home earlier, but I stuck around for the Memorial Day service at Arlington. That’s a pretty good reason.

Yeah. Was it emotional for you? I know that you’ve got friends who died while serving. Yeah. Yeah, you know, visiting the gravesites of people you lost, it’s always tough. But it always fills me with gratitude. Well, I’m grateful that you are still here. Thank you. I’m grateful for their sacrifices. I mean, they’re really fighting a good fight against the evil in the world, and we should always pay tribute to that.

Especially, Since today is the day, we have Clyde Weston in our sights. Time to rid the world of that evil bastard.

Eric, I don’t understand. How could you be our son? Yes, please explain. I’m still processing myself. Someone just confessed to me. Confessed what? None. None of your action. Dimitri never took your son to the hospital. How could that be? He brought him to the slum. That’s impossible. No, it’s just that Dimitri, he was on the run and he thought that slum could help somehow and He left the baby with her.

And I guess just given the timing What about the timing? We, our private adoption had just fallen through. So she kept your son. She told me and everyone else that he was our, our adopted child.

Oh my God. Now that we know the truth, Jude is your son. He belongs with his mommy

like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

So, tell me everything, wedding plans, dates, yeah, we’re still trying to figure that out. We have talked about visiting Scotland for the honeymoon. I’ve always wanted to go, it just seems so romantic. Highlands and Castles, I want to show you all my favorite childhood horns the ones i’m allowed to go back to So, yes, we are we’re still talking about it.

Oh, that sounds wonderful And your ring is just very unique. Isn’t it beautiful? Yeah It’s very you Well, I sure hope so That’s gonna be with me forever and always Just like I know. Just like I know. So

Gil’s fingerprint was found in Lee’s blood on the outside of that book? Yeah, it was a bit smeared, but, uh Definitely a match. I ran it several times. So you’re convinced this guild dude is the one who killed Li Shen? Well, it sure seems like it to me. I mean, how else would he have come in contact with Li’s blood?

Yeah, well, hope you can prove it, Rafe. Can you imagine what your sister’s going through, wrongly accused of murder? Does she know about these prints? No, not yet. I’m not going to say anything until I’m sure that we can get the case reopened. Any progress on that? Yeah, we’re working on it. Well, it’s a damn good thing EJ is out as DA, huh?

Yeah. Especially given EJ’s feelings about Gabby. I mean, not that Melinda Trask is any fan of my family, but I know that she definitely cared about Lee, and I’m hoping she’s going to be motivated to find the truth about his killing. I hope so too, buddy. For your sake, and for Gabby’s.

You really did, you really did miss me, huh? Something about a man in a unicorn. I’m out of it. You’re gonna be, hey, you’re gonna make me lose focus. We have to stay on point right now. We have to. I know, I know, I know, I know. Aww. For Toothy! Believe me, I want to make up for lost time as much as you do. But the clock is ticking, okay?

And once Clyde is out of commission, we have all the time in the world to spend together. It’s all the more reason to just get rid of him, and make things right in the world. Yeah. I mean, who, who’d have thought, finding Clyde’s black book. Could help Gabby get off the hook for Lee’s murder. Yeah, well, a lot has happened since you left.

You know, EJ’s out as D. A. Yeah, no, I heard that. Yeah. So, have Stefan and Rafe convinced the new D. A. to reopen the case? Mm mm, not yet. But they are hell bent on, um, proving that Gil’s the one who murdered Lee. Okay, so what’s that theory? That Gil came over to Wendy’s house looking for me and found Lee instead.

They got into it somehow. Gil killed him and then days later when he came looking for me, well We know what happened then. God, you know, it’s just, Wendy is such a good soul. She’s so good, and she makes Tripp so happy, and I mean, how am I going to tell them that Lee might be dead because of me? I mean, her poor family, they just They finally got closure with Gabby’s conviction and now

all those wounds are going to be reopened all over again.

How could that be? The doctor said our baby was dead. Why, why would he say that? I can’t explain what happened at the hospital. Someone must have paid somebody off. Oh my gosh, I can’t, I can’t believe this is happening. Yeah, there’s just a lot to process. The only thing that matters right now is that Your son is in your arms.

I mean, is this really true? Imagine you’re going to want to run your own test to prove that it’s true. I don’t understand why Sloane, she would make up something so awful if it wasn’t. No, that wouldn’t make any sense, would it? All those months ago, when I held Jude for the first time, I always felt like he was my son.

I remember. And then you agreed to a DNA test, just to prove that it wasn’t true. But how? How? So, she said that the results were tampered with. Oh, by her. We’ll make sure all the necessary tests are performed. What’s the most important thing right now is that we all know the truth and our son is back home where he belongs.

Yeah. It’s incredible, E. J. Our son. And you knew all along.

Even when I had to let it all go. I always felt he was my boy. Yeah. I don’t know, I mean, I guess it’s just something to do with parent intuition. Yeah. When it’s your child, you, you just know deep in your soul.

Sweetheart. Yeah, I love you. I do with all my heart. I’ve always loved you.

Well, you both deserve a wonderful wedding. You fought long and hard to get to this place. And you’ve hit a few bumps in the road. Bumps? I don’t remember any bumps, honey. Do you remember any bumps? Nary a one. Nary a one, mom. That being said, and at the risk of dampening the incitement of your good news, I have a favor to ask.

Yeah, sure. What is it? I’d appreciate it if Constantine and I could get married first. That you would wait until our wedding to have your own. Um, before I agree, can I ask why? It’s okay, sweetheart. I know, I know there’s gonna be so many changes. Yes, there are. There’s gonna be so many changes and a new house and a new family and I’m so excited.

Oh my god. But you know what? We’re gonna take such good care of you, okay? Because you mean everything to us. Yeah. And we’re gonna be a family. Like we were always meant to be. Yeah. Yeah. I’m your mommy and this is your very silly daddy. Yeah. Yeah. He likes you. I brought all his essentials from my apartment.

I can bring the rest tomorrow. Oh, thanks. That won’t be necessary. We’ll purchase whatever we need for the nursery, fresh start and all. Here you go. Koi. I’m sorry. I just don’t know what else to say. What do you have to be sorry for, Eric? I mean, you’re a victim here too. This was all Sloan. I just don’t know why I didn’t see it.

Maybe I didn’t want to. That bitch stole my baby. Our baby. She needs to be arrested, EJ. And they need to put her away and never let her see the light of day again. Nicole. No, I want her to experience the same kind of pain and suffering and awful emptiness that we did all those months. There’ll be plenty of time for that.

She needs to be punished. And she will be. Sloane is obviously a depraved woman, but she can’t hurt us anymore. No, she doesn’t just get to confess and then go on her merry way. She is a criminal. She needs to suffer. And so help me, EJ, if I get my hands on her.

What’s going on? Why is Jude here?

What is taking so long? Yes, I know that Lynch was released on bail.

No, there is no other crime. I just want him located, and then I want that reported to me. You are wasting time debating this. Just do it! Thank you. Honey, you’re not gonna believe this, but your brother, he He didn’t die on the day he was born. What?

This isn’t my baby.

Our baby.

Jude is your little brother.

Yeah.

Mom, are you sure that everything is okay with you and Constantine? Has he done something to upset you because if he has no no, no, it’s nothing like that Okay, then why do you want us to wait to get married Because Because I want to be fully present when my beautiful daughter marries my handsome son in law and You wouldn’t be able to be fully present Earlier, because Uh, because I’d be thinking about my own plans.

It’d be all about me and not about the two of you. So, every choice that you made, I would be, uh, comparing it to my own. But you’re having a small civil ceremony, right? Just family and a few friends. Yeah, but it’s still a wedding, and with that comes, uh, complications. Not unlike the activity that’s going on at the mansion right now.

The Hortons are moving out and Alex and Teresa are moving in. Wait. Did you say Alex is moving in? Wow. Rafe seemed really stressed out, huh? Yeah. You know, I remember that feeling when I was on the force. All these open damn cases here and not enough hands on deck. Yeah. Seems like the Salem PD is always understaffed.

Especially when it comes to hanging on to good, clean cops. Yeah, well, and on top of all of that, he’s trying to clear his sister on a murder rap. It’s all the more reason. To hope that the ISA can decipher Clyde Weston’s black book. I’m just glad that Rafe trusted us enough to bring us in on it. So now he’s got two more good guys here that are going to work overtime to put an end to Clyde Weston.

Yeah, yeah.

What’s bugging you, man?

Let me ask you something. What kind of mission do you think this is?

What do you mean by that? I mean how far are we willing to go to get Clyde Weston out of our lives?

So are you asking me if I’m Willing to go outside the bounds of the law. No, man. I’m just thinking, uh, It’d be a good idea if I run point on Weston and you take the lead on Maggie and Constantine. You sure about that? Yeah. I think so. Well, why the shift? Is there something I don’t know or I need to know? I just need to keep a close eye on Ava.

I’m pretty sure she’s on Clyde’s tail. I am telling you, I agree with you. If Clyde gets captured, yeah, he is gonna sell all of us out. You, me, and John. So we need a way for that not to happen. A permanent solution to the Clyde situation.

I just have to make sure Ava doesn’t screw anything up.

Key. Sounds like a plan. But I gotta say this. You must have more patients than a hospital to put up with that crazy ex of yours. So you and your naval buddies weren’t able to decode Clyde’s black book, huh? No, not yet. But I do have the encrypted images for you to send to Clyde. And then? And then, once he opens them, we’ll get notified of his location.

So once you finish packing up, I’m gonna go check in with Rafe, okay? Hey, and when, uh, you need it back, we’re gonna send the files to Clyde, right? Yeah. And once Clyde opens the email, we’ll know exactly where to find that son of a bitch. How,

how can that be? He’s my brother? It’s a miracle, Holly. A true miracle. But how? Well, there’s been a terrible mistake. And Eric’s here to make it right. Your mother and I suffered so much grief when we lost our son, but when I look down at This little guy, it’s turned to pure joy.

I’m so happy for you, Mom. For all of us.

I should go. Eric, I’m confused. I thought you and Sloane adopted Jude, no? So do I. Turns out Sloane was lying to us. To all of us. Judah’s your mom and EJ’s son. Wait. Eric, so that means you’re losing your son?

Yeah. Hey, boss. Harris. Good to see you. How was your memorial day? It was, uh, It was meaningful. Thank you. No, glad to hear it. Uh, thank you again for your service. Thank you for yours. So, uh, did you get a chance to review my request for a couple more days of unpaid leave? Mm hmm. Yeah? Yeah. No can do, man. I’m drowning here.

Do you not see that? I mean, we need you. Okay, I I hear you and I hate to even be putting you in this position but I really need those few days and I’m gonna have to take them one way or another. Hmm. So you’re saying if I don’t give you the leave that you’re gonna quit? Well, I mean, I hope it doesn’t come to that.

I mean, why don’t you just tell me what’s going on? Does this have something to do with your Navy friends? The, the, uh, information they found in Clyde’s black book? No, they haven’t been able to crack the code yet. Okay. Okay. I took it over to John Black, see if maybe ISA can help out. That’s good, the more people working on this the better.

I’ll just, I’ll just coordinate with John. Okay, if you just told me what you’re doing. Look, I can’t, I can’t explain right now. I just, I just need, I just need a few days.

Please. Trust me.

Okay. Fine. Take the time you need. And then hopefully I will have your job waiting for you when you come back.

Thank you.

So, um, you and Ava, But you’re on good terms now? Good is too strong a word, man. No. I think I’m just getting better at accepting her for who she is. Predicting her erratic behavior. Oh, now there’s a skill set you can put on your resume. We have Ava Vitale Wrangler. Yeah, very funny. Well, I think what it is is we’re all on the same page now.

We all want the same thing. Clyde Weston out of our lives. Yeah, well, of course you know that we’re all at risk if he blows a whistle on us when he’s caught. You know I know that. And you also know that if he tells the world that we helped him escape, you and I could be behind bars when Maggie and Constantine’s situation comes to a head.

I didn’t think of that. So we would be leaving Maggie hanging out to dry when she needs us the most.

I can promise you, partner. I won’t let that happen.

You’re letting Alex move into the mansion. I didn’t have a choice. It’s his father’s home. And Victor left him half of the estate. So that technically includes the mansion.

But he’s moving in with Teresa. Hmm. I didn’t know that they were back together. I try not to pry to the nature of their relationship. But they’re, um, you know, they’re close together. On some level. Yeah, on the level that Teresa’s after his money. I don’t know. But they are close. And I feel that Trace really cares about him.

Oh, I’m sure she does. Honey. Mom has a soft spot for Teresa. Yeah, I’ll never understand it. Well, Teresa’s no angel. But I just think she wants to be loved, like we all do. Sure. And when you say loved, you mean Showered with the Kyriakos fortune. You’ve made your point, honey. Alright, I’m just I’m worried for you, Maggie.

If you were stressed having the Hortons there, imagine the chaos of having Hurricane Alex and Tornado Teresa there on a daily basis. Come on. Well, like I said, it’s his father’s home. That means it’s his legacy. And luckily, The house is big enough for all three of us. Three? I mean, don’t forget Bonnie and Justin, and of course your beloved Constance here.

What was it you were saying about too much togetherness? Eric,

I’m so sorry. I’ve been so caught up in my own shock and joy, I didn’t even think about what you were going through. It’s okay. This is not about me. No, but, but it is. I mean, Jude. Jude was your son. Well, you need to focus on your family.

Jude belongs with his mother.

Eric, I’m so sorry. I know how much you love him. Thank you. It means a lot.

I just want you to know that I love you. I’m not gonna fight for any custody or anything like that. Oh, Eric. I wasn’t worried about that. But I’m worried about you, and if there’s anything I can do Don’t be. Don’t be. I just All I want is you to be happy. But Eric Really, I appreciate Yeah, I can get on the thoughts, but there’s nothing you can do.

I need to go. I need to deal with Sloan. Good luck. Cause I know that’s not gonna be easy. Someone’s gonna pay for what you did, I promise. Here I come. I’m so sorry. Me too. More than you know. Let me walk you out. I want to thank you for doing the right thing.

Very quick. Wait.

Don’t you want to hold Jude before you go?

Alright. Hey, how’s the packing going? Hey, I am ready to go as soon as we know where we’re headed. Okay. Then it’s showtime. Do you have the email address that Clyde sent? Yeah, it’s right here. Okay. Here’s this. Yeah. You ready? Yeah. Send away. Now what? Now we just wait. But we gotta be ready

to hit the ground running. Did you tell Wilma that she needed more time off? Not yet. I didn’t really have a chance, you know, and I honestly, I’m a little nervous since he just hired me. I don’t want him to think I don’t care about the job. I get that. Rafe wasn’t happy about giving me more time either. So hopefully we can just get this done and our jobs will still be here when it’s over.

I still can’t believe you’re doing this for me. I mean, and now you’re putting your job at risk too.

I am doing this for you. And I’m doing it for Tripp, and I’m doing it for Wendy, and I’m doing it for me, and every person whose life Clyde has ruined or tried to ruin.

I took an oath to serve and protect. I take that very seriously. Even if it means breaking some rules. So I guess it’s just you and me against Clyde.

Actually, no. Um, there’s somebody else I’d like to loop in.

So Maggie’s all in on trapping Constantine. Oh, yeah. She’s got them all set up in a corner office at Titan there. Gave them full authority over all of Victor’s charitable funds. Wow. Gotta hand it to her. She is one brave woman. I’m pretty shrewd, too. So how’s the setup work? It’s pretty simple. Just move some money around and make it look like Cos Teen has embezzling Titan funds.

Well, let’s just hope we can get him busted before she has to go through with actually marrying him. Yeah, well, that’s the plan. He’s trying to nail down the timing here because that bastard has messed around with her life enough already. It seems like a revolving door at the mansion these days. Ever since, you know, we lost.

Victor, there always seems to be somebody coming in and out. That’s because you’re a generous person, Mom. Maybe a little too generous. Oh, look who’s up! As she wants everyone in the square to know it. I think our little princess needs her diaper changed. Oh, I’ll do it. No, no, no, no. Let Daddy do it. Yes! Glue that mummy in nine and a half smooth on time, yeah?

Thank you. My pleasure.

Well, I might be biased, but she is obviously the most beautiful baby in the world. You’re not biased. She is. You’re right, I’m not at all. Um, actually, I’m glad that it’s just you and me for a minute, because I wanted to talk to you about something, but I didn’t want to say it in front of Xander. Are you

sure it’s okay? Of course. I know how much Jude means to you. And how much you mean to each other.

Oh, I like that. Hey, sweet boy. Hey.

Hey. I’m gonna be grateful. For all the time we shared. And I will always love you.

More than you will know.

Thank you. Yeah. Come by and see him anytime, okay? Yeah, I think it’s best that, uh, You have time to bond with your son and all he is. With your brother. I love you. Take care. Your mommy. EJ.

Well, that will definitely make your wedding special. Not that your wedding wouldn’t be special anyway. Do you really like the idea? Oh, I do. I do. But I, I think you ought to run it by Xander first. I mean, it is his wedding, too. True. All right, I guess I’ll tell him. I hope he approves. Okay. Fingers crossed.

All right.

Alright, I’ll get these pages off to Andrew and some of the other big brains at the ISA. They’re cracking codes is what they do. Good. And we’ll have everything we need to find Weston and wipe him off the map. The man’s a menace. He’s hurt a lot of our friends and family. Yes, he has. Yes. Hey. Be careful. I know you want to take the lead on this western angle here, but it’s important that we finish this out as partners.

Scratch that, man. We’re more than partners. We’re more than friends. You’re You’re my brother, Steve.

I feel the same way about you, partner. And nobody, even Constantine, is ever gonna drive a wedge between you and me. I trust you with my life.

Right back at you brother.

Why isn’t Clyde downloading these messages? I guess he’s a little busy. Did you talk to Roman? Uh, no, he was busy too. So I left him a note, I let him know I needed to leave town on an emergency. Yeah, well I’m sure I’ll understand. Yeah. Is that it? Did he get a signal? Bingo. Clyde is at a public library in a town called Ennis in Montana.

Our book is the next flight out. You know, I have never been to Montana. I hear it is beautiful. Yeah, big sky country. Not sure we’re going to see a lot of it. So are you ready to put this mess behind you once and for all? Let’s do it. There’s one pit stop on the way.

All the same, Mom, he looks really happy to be in your arms. Yeah, he does, doesn’t he? Hey, honey, um, listen, I know things have been rough between us lately. No, you don’t have to do this right now. I just want to thank you for the text you sent me. It really meant a lot. I’m sorry. I hope you know I didn’t mean any of those horrible things I said.

Of course not, sweetheart. I love you. I love you. And I love you. Look at him. Look at him. Oh, look at your daddy. Oh, this is like a new beginning, huh? For all of us. It is. Yeah. For all four of us. Oh, he’s a mover and a shaker. He’s a mover and a shaker. Hey, man. Hey. Thank you for meeting me. Yeah, man. Glad you called.

Listen, I just I’m so sorry about all this. Everything that Sloan’s putting you through. Yeah. Me too. You think she’s home? She should be. Sloane! Is this the place like this

when you left? No. Where do you

think she’s gone? What’s this?

It’s a necklace that I gave her for Mother’s Day with Jude’s birthstone. Oh, boy. Damn it, she took off. Oh my god, I

knew it. I knew it. Yes, I did. I knew it. Yes. I can’t believe you, you’re here, you’re here, oh my god, yes I know, I know, I know, look at us, look at us.

Oh

EJ’s personal effects, I take it Surprised you left them in his office my office And uh, I was going to send them via messenger, but since you’re here you can bring them to your brother Save me on the delivery fee Sure. Can I help you with something? I actually came by to offer my congratulations. Can’t say that felt entirely genuine.

Why wouldn’t it be? I helped push EJ out of office and I’m the big reason why you’re back in this job, Melinda. You’re also a demure, so I would be a fool to trust you. Look, I lost this job once before, and I have no intention of letting it go again. And if you even think about doing to me what you did to your brother, you will find yourself a very dangerous enemy.

Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were working. It’s all right. Hello, stranger. Hello, Maggie.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Kelly and Beth are all set up next door. They are having a blast already.

Liam: Yeah. God, that was nice of nellie to invite them over to a pool party last minute.

Steffy: Yeah. I guess it’s kind of a waste that I sent out finn to get pizza, because they’re gonna be having a feast over there.

Liam: No, it’s not a waste, because I want a slice.

Steffy: Oh, okay.

Liam: Aunt liam is hungry. Liam and his little friend, apparently. Where is finn, by the way? This is taking forever.

Steffy: Yeah, actually. Yeah, I thought he’d be back by now.

Deacon: Well, mrs. Sharpe, we did it.

Sheila: We did, didn’t we? Mr. And mrs.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

[ Hope clears throat ]

Hope: Congratulations, dad.

Deacon: Thank you so much.

Hope: I like seeing you so happy.

Deacon: Thank you.

Finn: Congratulations. It was A… beautiful ceremony.

Sheila: It was, wasn’t it? And you know what? Even more beautiful because you were here. Thank you. Thank you, finn, for– for being at my wedding, baby. I love you.

Poppy: Um… what do you say we take this upstairs?

[ Bill chuckles ]

Bill: Well, we could do that. But I think, uh… ah, right here works just as well.

[ Door opens ]

Katie: Bill? You home? Oh. Um… didn’t realize you had company.

Katie: Swear to god, I knocked.

Bill: Did ya? Yeah, I don’t think I heard the knock, but of course we were, um… you know what? Doesn’t matter. It’s not a problem. Have you met my friend poppy?

Katie: I don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure. Nice to meet you, I’m katie.

Poppy: Hi, it’s nice to meet you.

Katie: Likewise.

Bill: You must know her daughter, luna. She’s interning at…

Katie: Oh, yeah, of course! Of course, I love luna, she’s lovely.

Poppy: Thank you.

Katie: Speaking of lovely children, have you given any thought to going and seeing will for parents’ weekend? We gotta rsvp.

Bill: Oh, oh, oh. You know will. Talking with him on the phone only goes so far, but, yeah, yeah, I’m in.

Katie: Okay, good.

Poppy: Oh, you’re that katie!

Katie: Yeah, that katie.

Bill: That katie.

Steffy: Hmm.

Liam: Nothing?

Steffy: No, he still hasn’t texted me back.

Liam: I mean, if he’s driving, that makes sense, right? Like, he’s gotta be on the road by now.

Steffy: Or il giardino’s maybe a little slow. Deacon’s not there to call the shots, so.

Liam: That is true. I mean, that place descends into utter chaos every time deacon takes a day off to marry the local psychopath.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Steffy: Maybe I shouldn’t have sent finn to il giardino.

Tom: Um, I just– you need to sign right here, uh, right next to hope.

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: You– you really need two?

Tom: Well, two’s better than one. I mean, you did witness the wedding, didn’t you?

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, I did.

Tom: Well, then here you go. Right there. Great. I’ll get this right over to the county recorder’s office.

Deacon: Hey, tom. Hey. Listen, I just wanna tell you, sheila and I, we will be forever grateful to you. Thank you.

Sheila: Yeah, we couldn’t have done this without you.

Tom: Oh, no, please. I forgot how much I enjoyed doing these. I mean, it has been a long time. You know, I clean up pretty good.

Deacon: Damn straight you do! Look at this suit. I picked it out. What do you think?

Sheila: I’ll tell you what, it makes your eyes pop.

Deacon: I’m talking about more the ceremony, though. I mean, we wouldn’t have been able to do our vows at all if it wasn’t for you.

Hope: Aww. Our parents grow up so fast, don’t they?

[ Finn chuckles ]

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: I still can’t believe this just happened. I mean, I really just stood up for sheila carter as her maid of honor. [ Laughs ] But the, uh, reception has been lovely.

Finn: Yeah. No, it– it has.

Hope: Uh…

[ Both chuckle awkwardly ] Well, I– I could see that it meant a lot to her, you being here.

Finn: Yeah. I mean, I just was completely blindsided. I thought that– I thought they were getting married at the beach. I mean, I came here to pick up some pizzas.

Hope: Oh, pizza with a side of “I do.”

Finn: Yeah, well, it’s something that’s gonna take some explaining.

Hope: To steffy?

Finn: Yeah. She’s not gonna be thrilled about this. Not thrilled at all.

Hope: Toe?

Finn: Mmm.

When dry eye symptoms

Bill: So, did will tell you that his streak of a’s continued on his latest exam?

Katie: No! He’s not an open book with me the way he is with you. I have to, like, pry out every little, tiny tidbit.

Bill: No, you see, that’s what happens when you’re the favorite parent.

Katie: Oh, yeah, right. Sure. [ Chuckles ] Sorry. You don’t need to listen to us debating parental rankings.

Poppy: Oh, no, I don’t mind. It’s a funny concept to me, actually. I raised luna on my own, so I got to be the favorite parent by default.

Katie: Well, you did a wonderful job. She’s super smart. She helped me tremendously with a project that we just finished today, actually.

Poppy: Thank you. That makes me really happy to hear.

Katie: And you know what’s funny? She never once mentioned that her mom was friends with you.

[ Chuckles ]

Liam: You know, if you hadn’t given finn that ultimatum, he could very well be at sheila’s wedding right now.

Steffy: No, I don’t think he would have gone. Okay, maybe he was entertaining the idea, and you’re right. I’m glad that I spoke to him.

Liam: Do me a favor, if nothing else, for kelly’s sake: Look out for that husband of yours. Make sure he doesn’t get conned again.

Steffy: No, I– I will. I’ll be there for finn. No matter what sheila throws at him.

Sheila: Now, come on. You sure I can’t, like, toss you the garter on the way out?

Tom: Oh, no, no, no. Please, please. Been there, done that when it comes to marriage.

[ Sheila laughs ] But wait, don’t let my bad luck reflect on you guys at all. I’m sure you will ride off in eternal bliss. Thank you for including me in your ceremony.

Sheila: No, thank you for officiating it and… doing all that you did. I mean, you helped save my life, and– and– will I see you again?

Tom: Well, I don’t know.

Sheila: I hope so.

Deacon: Hey, what do you say we commemorate this moment? Come on, guys, get in here. Come on.

Tom: What? Oh!

Deacon: Smile! Yeah! Here we go. Look at that. That is a good-looking group. Deacon: All right, okay, put tom in the middle. Yeah!

Sheila: I like that. Here we go.

[ All laughing ]

Tom: Let me. Let me.

Deacon: You wanna take some? All right, okay. All right, I’m gonna get–

Tom: Let me be the wedding photographer.

Sheila: Okay.

Tom: That’s good. You guys are a beautiful couple. Wait, let’s get some family shots. To the beautiful, gorgeous family. Come on, come on.

Finn: You know, let’S…

Tom: Oh, come on, finn. Will you say no to the wedding photographer?

Deacon: All right.

Tom: Now, everybody get close. Come on, you guys are a family now. Come on. Okay, here we go. Here we go. Oh, that’s good.

Sheila: You’re getting us all in?

Tom: Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. There you go!

Deacon: All right.

Tom: God, you guys are beautiful.

Deacon: Thanks, tom. Give me this. Hey, come here. Let me talk to you for a second.

Tom: Sure.

Deacon: Let me ask you something. Um, so, uh, where– where are you going after this?

Tom: Well, I’ve got a motel room for the next couple nights, but, you know, after that, it’s– it’s kinda iffy.

Deacon: I was thinking that maybe you could come back during business hours. Look, tom, I know that you’ve hit some hard times, like a lot of good people, and I’d like to talk to you about working here.

Tom: Really?

Deacon: Yeah. I mean, the pay’s good, and as an added bonus, you get all the free food you want, even on your days off.

Tom: You know, I don’t know much about the restaurant business.

Deacon: Hey, that’s okay. I’ll train you myself. Just think about it, okay? And you come back real soon. Hey. Take these.

Tom: Are you kidding?

Deacon: No!

Tom: Thank you, deacon.

Deacon: You’re welcome.

Tom: I appreciate it.

Deacon: Thank you.

Tom: Thank you. Can I have one of–

Deacon: You take whatever you want. Please, take as many of the toes as you’d like.

Tom: These are really good.

Deacon: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, I just, uh– I just wanna thank you both for being here. I mean, it really– it means a lot to both of us that you were here to share this. Hope, it was just– it was powerful for me to have you here. And, finn, I know you didn’t intend to be here, but damn, it just meant the world to your mother.

Finn: No, I– I– it was a sweet ceremony, and, you know, I really do wish you guys the best.

Deacon: Thank you.

Finn: But I– I really do need to get going home and get those pizzas, yeah. Okay? All right.

Did you know…

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: Hey! One more hug before you go.

[ Both chuckle ] Oh, and thank you. Thank you again. I mean, it just– it meant the world to me having you here today.

Finn: Hey.

Waitress: The boss said it’s on the house.

Finn: Oh, hey, thanks.

Deacon: It’s not gonna be an everyday thing just ’cause we’re family now, all right? Wife, let’s go.

Finn: Well, I appreciate it.

Sheila: Hey, thank you again.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: That was, uh, something. Uh, good luck on your journey home. I– I know you’re a little nervous about how steffy’s gonna react to this, but, uh, you had no idea that this was going to be going on here, so I hope that she will be understanding. And besides… your parents are happy, and I think that should count for something.

Finn: I don’t think steffy’s gonna see it that way.

Hope: Who knows? Maybe she will.

Finn: She’s gonna–

Hope: No, I– I totally get it. You are in a very difficult position.

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: You want to respect your wife’s wishes, but at the same time…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know if she should be the one dictating what your relationship looks like to your birth mother. I mean, maybe… that should be up to you.

Finn: Hmm. Well, thanks for understanding that.

Hope: Yeah, well. Here for you.

Finn: Well, right back at you. Especially in the headache department. Okay, you– don’t hesitate to call me if they continue, all right?

Hope: All right. I– I will do so.

Finn: Okay.

Hope: Good luck.

Katie: So, how did this, um, budding friendship come about? Do you have business with spencer?

Poppy: “Budding” doesn’t exactly describe it. Uh, bill and I go way back. We, um– we have a lot of history.

Bill: I first met poppy some 20 years ago, and we just recently reconnected.

Poppy: And I’m very glad that we did.

Katie: Hmm.

Steffy: Wait, wait, wait. All this talk about you being hungry, and now you’re gonna leave before the pizza even gets here?

Liam: Trust me, I’m not happy about it, but–

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Oh! Hey!

Finn: Hey.

Liam: Oh, my god. Finally. Sorry. Forgive me. I’m taking one for the road. Thank you. Mmm. And it’s cold. That’s great.

Finn: Hey, are the, um– are the girls in kelly’s room?

Steffy: Uh, no, they’re– they’re next door at nellie’S. They’re going for a swim. And haynes is sleeping. Wait, did you not get my texts?

Finn: Oh, I don’t know. I was– I was on silent.

Steffy: Uh, why did you have it on silent?

Finn: Uh, liam, you were– you were headed out, right?

Liam: Yep, sure was. Uh, I’ll come back for kelly.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

[ Door opens, closes ] What’s going on?

[ Finn sighs ]

Finn: Okay, um… okay, you’re– you’re never gonna believe this. I–

Steffy: What?

Finn: I– I go to the pickup window at il giardino, and it’s– it’s closed. So I go into the restaurant to get the pizzas, and, um… there they are. And I never thought that they would be there.

Steffy: Who?

Finn: Sheila and deacon. Always dry scoop before you run.

Katie: So, you’ve known each other for years?

Poppy: We have. You could even say that, um… I had him first.

Katie: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Deacon & sheila laughing ]

Deacon: Hey, you know I had to do it! I had to do it.

Sheila: Oh, my gosh. Are there any other newlywed traditions you’re going to do?

Deacon: Oh, I got a couple traditions in mind.

Sheila: Oh.

Deacon: Listen, I know this isn’t some fancy resort, but I promise I’m gonna make our honeymoon night a night that you’re never gonna forget.

Sheila: Ooh.

Deacon: But first things first…

Sheila: Mmm?

Deacon: One tradition. A new one.

Sheila: What’s that?

Deacon: I promised I’d do– well, hollis convinced me to start an account for il giardino, you know, to post things like, um, I don’t know, recipes and specials and wine pairings and, you know, things like when the boss marries the star waitress, things like that, so.

Sheila: Well, let’s hope it gets more likes than the daily soup, right? Okay, what we got?

Deacon: That’s not bad.

Sheila: That’s not too bad.

Deacon: What do you think? Is that the one?

Sheila: Look at your smile. And look at finn, too. That’s definitely the one.

Deacon: Okay.

[ Phone chimes ]

Sheila: I still can’t believe that he came. To our wedding. Wow. Our wedding.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I love you so much.

Deacon: I love you too, baby. Come here.

[ Knocking on door ]

Liam: Hey. Thought I’d find you in here.

Hope: Hey.

Liam: Well, you look beautiful.

Hope: Thank you.

Liam: Got a night out on the town planned, or, uh… a wedding?

Hope: Ha.

[ Clicks tongue ] Yeah, I might’ve just come from one of those.

Liam: Oh, please tell me there was some other random one happening tonight, please!

Hope: Liam, he’s my dad, and it was his wedding day.

Liam: Oh, man! I mean, just ’cause you’re his kid doesn’t mean you have to support everything he chooses. Hell, even finn found a way to say no.

Hope: So–

Liam: What? What?

Hope: I– I wasn’t the only one there at the wedding. I mean, finn was there, too.

Liam: Finn was at the wedding? Today?

Finn: We knew the wedding was today. We just– we thought it was at the beach.

Steffy: Yeah, but why were deacon and sheila there? We placed an order at il giardino. They probably knew that you were coming, so they ambushed you. That’s exactly what happened.

Finn: No, no. They didn’t ambush me, okay? They were just as surprised to see me as I was to see them. And hope was there, too. Apparently she decided to be sheila’s maid of honor. And tom, the, um– remember the homeless man I told you about, the one that helped lead us to sheila? Believe it or not, he was there and… performing the ceremony.

Steffy: So you actually walked in, into the ceremony?

Finn: Yeah. Look, I– steffy, I just–

[ Phone chiming ]

Steffy: Okay, wait. Just wait for one second. I wanna make sure that the kids are– the kids are okay. Just… oh, my god. Oh… my god. What am I looking at? It’s a picture of, uh– a wedding photo of deacon, sheila and you? You’re standing right next to her!

Finn: I mean, I realize that looks like–

Steffy: You were there! That’s why you– that’s why you didn’t call me. That’s why your phone was on silent, because you were at sheila’s wedding! Answer me, finn.

Adam: Well, it’s got to be a good sign that they’re gonna let us see connor.

Chelsea: After that call we had with him earlier, I wasn’t gonna take no for an answer.

Adam: Well, the doctor did back up connor’s explanation. It was the timing of the call. Thirteens.

Chelsea: Which is our fault, again.

Adam: They’re working on this. Yeah, it’s a small thing, but it’s part of a bigger problem. And we’re just gonna have to roll with it.

Chelsea: I know. I just hate this. It doesn’t seem like we’re making things easier for him. It seems we’re making things harder.

Adam: Well, let’s just hang on to the fact that we’re gonna get to see him in person. You know, think about that hug you’re gonna be able to give him.

Chelsea: The biggest.

Nick: Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. Did you have that call with connor? How’d it go?

Adam: Oh, we did. It was– it was really great to see his face.

Chelsea: Yeah. The doctors say he’s progressing.

Nick: Okay, um, I know you both better than that. How’s he really doing?

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Hey, it’s such a beautiful day outside. Traci and I decided to go for a stroll. Maybe you and alan could…

Traci: Where is alan?

Ashley: I asked him to leave.

Traci: Why?

Ashley: Because I can only handle so much at one time. I mean, my head is absolutely spinning.

Traci: Okay, well, we can reach out to him later. I’m sure he understands.

Ashley: I need more than a few minutes. I don’t know what I need.

Jack: Okay, well, look, just take all the time you need. Maybe we can help you think things through.

Ashley: Oh, my god. It’s a lot to process. I mean, did he… did alan tell you what his opinion is of what’s going on?

Jack: You mean about what you’re dealing with?

Ashley: You can say it. He thinks it’s, uh, dissociative identity disorder. Multiple personalities.

Jack: Well, that’s just a theory right now. He wants to do a full medical workup.

Ashley: I know, but jack, have I really had entire conversations that I simply don’t remember, where I was a completely different person?

Traci: That’s kind of difficult for us to answer, ashley. You know, it’s been confusing for us, too.

Ashley: Okay, so you actually sent for alan to come here for me. And wasn’t I supposed to see a therapist that sharon…

Jack: Yes, and you agreed to both.

Traci: But at the last minute, you seemed to change your mind.

Ashley: Do you really think I’m this unbalanced? I mean, really, do you really think I need to commit myself?

Victor: What are you doing here?

Jordan: Saving me from you. You monster.

Victor: Over, my dead body.

Jordan: Oh-ho-ho-ho. Don’t you listen to him, okay? You’re good, you’re decent, you’re good and–

Victor: Shut up. Stop talking.

Jordan: No, no, no. You don’t listen to him, okay? Because he has a worse plan for me, and if so, my blood will be on your hands. Anthony: This making you uncomfortable?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: What are you doing here?

Michael: As your lawyer and friend, I couldn’t stand by and let this happen, victor.

Victor: As my lawyer and friend, you went behind my back.

Cole: Okay, don’t blame michael. Right this is all on me, victor. You know I was suspicious. I just put the pieces of the puzzle together. Then I just debated on what the hell to do.

Victor: Who have you told?

Cole: I’ve not told anyone but michael. And I didn’t say a word to victoria, I didn’t wanna implicate her.

Michael: He called me for advice.

Cole: He’s been telling me not to do anything behind your back.

Michael: That’s not true. Cole is trying to protect me. I’m as much a part of what was about to happen as he is.

Victor: Is that why you tried to lure me and nikki away for lunch? Huh?

Jordan: They’re my angels of mercy. They’re gonna get me the hell out of here.

Victor: Shut up! Two of you follow me upstairs.

Traci: Having yourself committed is not at all how we would describe this. If you’re asking, do we think you need to get help? I know my answer is yes. You trusted me enough to confide in me about your blackouts is reason enough to get some kind of treatment.

Jack: We’ve all seen personality shifts big enough we can’t ignore them. And frankly, they’re dangerous.

Traci: Yeah. I think both of us would be so much less terrified about your safety if you were supervised around the clock with a team of doctors who can help you–

Ashley: I’m not going there. I’m telling you right now, I’m not going to fairview.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no, we agree. That would do more harm than good.

Traci: Ashley, there are wonderful facilities. We’ll find you the very best care.

Ashley: I don’t know.

Jack: Look, I know you feel you need time to think about this. I think waiting would be a mistake.

Ashley: Alan said the same thing. He offered to help me.

Traci: How?

Ashley: He thinks that i suffered some kind of a trauma after the argument I had with tucker in paris. And he said that I need to figure out what that is before I can get treatment. Did he tell you that too?

Traci: He did.

Jack: So what do you think about that?

Ashley: I’m so sorry.

Traci: Sorry about what?

Ashley: I’ve put you both through such hell, haven’t I? If you think I should go, I’ll go.

Chelsea: To be honest, the call was hard. Connor got very upset because we called a couple of minutes early. It set him off.

Adam: Well, it set his ocd off.

Chelsea: Right, right, it’s the ocd, it’s not him. At least that’s what the doctors keep telling us. But it’s hard, ’cause it certainly feels like connor in those moments. Just feels like we’re failing him over and over.

Nick: Yeah, I hate hearing that. It’s gotta be so rough not being able to see him in person.

Chelsea: Yeah, that’s why it makes it all the more upsetting when a call like that falls apart.

Adam: But we knew that there was gonna be ups and downs going into this, you know, two steps forward, one step back.

Nick: Um, did they give you any idea when you might be able to visit with him?

Chelsea: We’re actually just talking about that. They’re ready for us to come for an in-person family therapy session. It’ll be the first time we see him since he’s gotten there.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Well, that sounds promising.

Adam: Yeah, I was gonna clear the trip with you and dad first.

Nick: Adam, stop, you don’t have to do that, all right? Of course, you need to go, and dad will insist that you go as well. Remember, it’s family before business, always.

Victor: This is my plan. Neither of you have the right to interfere, is that clear?

Michael: I beg to differ. We can’t unsee what you’re doing.

Cole: We’d be accomplices to a crime.

Victor: What crime? What crime?

Michael: I can name a few. Kidnapping, illegal imprisonment, intent to cause harm, all felonies, with hefty sentences.

Victor: Enough! This is my plan. She’s done enormous damage to my family. That’s why I want that woman to rot in hell. Now, I would like you to leave the premises, not speak of this again, ever.

Cole: Sorry, victor. Not gonna happen.

Michael: We’re not going anywhere.

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Victor: Do I need to remind either of you of the damage that woman has done to my family? She almost killed the love of my life, for heaven’s sake.

Michael: We’re well aware of that, and the court will be too.

Cole: Vic, she’s gonna spend the rest of her life in prison.

Victor: I can’t take that risk. What if she escapes again? Visits even greater harm on our family.

Michael: Victor, what’s your plan? To keep her locked up forever? To let her starve to death?

Victor: So what? She deserves it, after what she has done to us. Almost killed nikki. Almost killed your daughter.

Cole: I’m not gonna lie to you.

Victor: What?

Cole: I thought about leaving her down there.

Victor: Yes. Just forgetting that I ever even seen her in that cage that you set her up in. But I can’t do it, victor. I’m not gonna become her. I’m not gonna stoop down to her level because it’s wrong. And somebody else is gonna figure this out, by the way. Your staff is gonna be on to this, and so is nikki and victoria.

Victor: I have an alarm set, which went off because you went down there.

Michael: Victor, listen to your logic here.

Victor: Stop that nonsense! There is no logic or argument for you to make. That woman has to rot in that dungeon.

Michael: Victor, you do–

Victor: Wait a minute. What about the prison inmates? What about all the prison guards? People who died as a consequence to when she set fire to that damn prison. No one does that kind of damage to my family. No one! Let her rot in hell! She’s exactly in the place where she belongs.

[ Jordan sobbing ]

Jordan: I was so close. I was so close. I was so close. I was so close. So close to my– to my freedom. My freedom. And away from this damn slow death! Oh, it’s all– it’s all slipping away it’s all slipping away again.

[ Jordan crying ]

Tucker: Hi, audra. Um, so, it would appear you decided to go on our paris trip after all. I just wanted to give you a heads up that it might’ve been a waste of a plane ticket unless you have some shopping to do. Uh, that– that meeting you scheduled without my knowledge, I canceled that. And, if you schedule another, I’m gonna cancel that too.

[ Tucker sighing ]

Traci: Well, ashley, I know it must be really terrifying to think about going back to paris. The place where probably all of this started.

Jack: We trust alan. And if you’re in his company, well, he can get you to the source of all of this.

Ashley: Stop listening to them. Listen to me. Yeah, honey. Those two don’t know what they’re talking about. Where am I? What is this place? Who are you? Oh, now, honey, I know it’s a lot to take in. You need to think of it like this. We don’t have time for some long, boring diagnosis. I wasn’t gonna get all clinical. And as I was saying, there are so many parts to the human mind. And you are a flower and we are your petals. Or perhaps you are the onion and we are the many layers. And we don’t have time for poetry and stupid metaphors either. You are the voices that have been tormenting me for months. Well, now, she is actually more of the tormentor. I’m the fun one. If only you could remember when we were at that piano bar. Now, that was a good time. That was when you almost blew our cover for the umpteenth time. At least I didn’t try to murder anyone. I don’t remember any of this. But you’re the ones that caused my blackouts. Nice job, you stupid idiot. You’re freaking her out. Now, sweetie pie, just take it easy, okay? We are here to help you, aren’t we? Absolutely. You are our number one priority, which is why you can’t be in control right now. And you absolutely cannot go to paris with alan. When anyone in this house wears white,

Adam: So we will let connor’s doctors know that we’re ready to try again for an in-person visit.

Nick: I know connor really appreciates that you’re there for him. It may not always seem like that, but I promise you on some level, he knows you’re both fighting for him.

Adam: Well, thank you for saying that.

Nick: And if there’s anything I can do for connor, do not hesitate to ask.

Adam: I wish there were, but we’re gonna have to put our faith in the doctors right now. Are you okay? ‘Cause I should go find sally and tell her the plan?

Chelsea: Go, I have to check in on mark anyway.

Adam: Okay. Thank you.

Nick: Yeah.

Nick: Well, you don’t have to try and hold it together for me. How are you really doing?

Chelsea: Not great.

Michael: Victor, I know you. I know the way your mind works, what drives you and what keeps you up at night. And I know as furious and as repulsed as you are by jordan, you are not a killer. It will haunt you if you let that woman die out there.

Victor: I will be the judge of what haunts me.

Michael: It doesn’t work that way. We don’t get to choose in advance. We both know that more than anyone else.

Cole: You put her through hell for weeks, victor. Can’t that be enough?

Michael: She’s a shadow of her former self from what I could see. And don’t you wanna be free of the burden of having to keep her prisoner down there? Think of the price you’d have to pay if she was discovered. You’d have to spend the rest of your life in prison.

Victor: The only way that will happen is if one of you goes to the authorities. Is that what you’re planning to do?

Cole: No, no, of course, of course not.

Michael: No, we’re trying to help you, to protect you.

Cole: We’re trying to protect you the way that you’ve always protected everyone else.

Victor: What’s your plan?

Michael: Jordan is a prison escapee, an arsonist. The system will be prepared to contain her at all costs. She’s tipped her hand. They know all her tricks, all her scams.

Cole: The woman I saw in that cage isn’t capable of any new scams.

Michael: Agreed, agreed, but if something were to change, we’re talking about a facility with the tightest security possible. The kind of place that no one gets out of, ever.

Victor: What if that woman squeals? She goes to the authorities and tells them I kept her in a damn dungeon. What then?

Michael: She is a psychopath and she can claim what she wants.

>>Cole: Who’s gonna believe her, right? Let her rant and rave.

Michael: They think she’s just trying to get a lenient sentence, but it won’t change the judge’s mind about what she’s done.

Michael: There’s one more thing we need to do.

Victor: What?

Michael: Just in case. Destroy the dungeon and the cell. Bury all evidence.

Ashley: Jack and traci are right. Something is so very, very wrong with me. Oh now, honey, please don’t fret. This is what we do. We are here to protect you. Yes, because clearly this is way too much for you. What you need to do is just sit back and take a nice long nap. And let me take charge. Well, actually, I should take charge. I have a much better chance of getting us out of this situation, especially if alan is involved, because you see, he has a thing for me. The point is you need to stop fighting me and let me take it from here, okay? How am I fighting you? I had everything under control until that stupid tucker woke you up from your nice, deep sleep. Are you talking about the lounge earlier? Why– why was I there? Why were you there? Well, I was trying to take care of you like I’m trying to take care of you now. But you keep resisting me. Now stop it and let me take over. Okay, now you just cool your jets, miss meany. Sweetheart, she’s telling you the truth, though. You don’t wanna go to paris. It won’t be good what you find there. You could make things a lot worse. What am I gonna find in paris? What do you mean?

Traci: Oh my god, jack, what’s happening to her? Ashley, ashley, can you hear me? Ashley? Are you all right?

Jack: What happened just now?

Ashley: I went to this incredibly strange place.

Jack: What place?

Ashley: I’m falling apart. I’m breaking apart.

Traci: No, no, it’s okay, it’s okay. We’re here, you’re with us, you’re safe.

Ashley: I’m telling you right now, alan’s right. I have to go to paris. The answers are there. I know it. Before my doctor and I chose breztri

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chelsea: I thought I’d be tougher. I thought I’d be more resilient, you know, considering everything I’ve been through, all of my own mental health issues, all the therapy. When this all started, I thought that I was gonna be a rock for connor because I’ve been there. I know what he’s going through, but truthfully, nick, I am running on fumes here.

Nick: Has it ever occurred to you that this is so hard because you know what it’s like? You know, you’re feeling your feelings and connor’S. Chelsea, you gotta let yourself off the hook for that. Don’t try and take that on. This may not be easy to accept, but you gotta let connor work through his own feelings. That’s what’s gonna get him stronger.

Chelsea: Yeah. But to watch my kids suffer and do nothing.

Nick: It’s almost impossible, I know.

Chelsea: Yeah. Oh, anyway, sorry. Thank you for letting me, uh, crumble a little bit. It’s been hard ’cause billy’s been away.

Nick: Where’s billy?

Chelsea: Oh, he’s just– he’s away on business meeting some chancellor-winters executives.

Nick: Don’t like hearing that. This is a lot to take on by yourself.

Chelsea: Well, you know what? I actually haven’t been by myself. Believe it or not, adam’s been pretty great.

Nick: Yeah, I was surprised to hear him talk about the process. Like it’s two steps forward, one step back.

Chelsea: I know, right? Don’t get me wrong. In the beginning, he was very adam. He, uh, fought the diagnosis. He threatened to yank connor out of the school, then threatened to yank connor out of the treatment program. Didn’t trust any of the doctors. But then, you know, he, um, he did a bunch of his own research and he came around. Believe it or not, he’s been the more stable parent.

Nick: I didn’t think I’d see the day anyone called adam the stable one.

Sally: How’d it go with your call?

Adam: Not great. But the upside is, the doctors want chelsea and I to come for an in-person family therapy session. So, we are gonna leave first thing in the morning.

Sally: How long will you be gone?

Adam: They suggested a week or two. You know, give or take.

Sally: Well, that sounds like a very important step. I really wanna get connor a present. Just something that shows him that I’m thinking about him. Maybe that card game that we always play. And you should bring him that soccer jersey that he loves. I saw that he left it at your place. I really think it would bring him a lot of comfort.

Adam: You know, you’ve been really great through all this. And you’ve been so patient.

Sally: Of course. You know I love connor.

Adam: And I love you. So, I need you to stop putting on a brave face ’cause I can tell something’s wrong. Something’s bugging you. And before you say anything about being a burden, will you just let me in?

Jack: You sure you’re feeling strong enough for a trip like this, chasing down what happened?

Ashley: I’m gonna do whatever I have to do to make these voices get out of my head. And if alan says I need to go to paris, then I’m going.

Traci: Okay, good. Good. I– I– I’m so glad that you feel strong enough to get to the bottom of this. And alan’s gonna help you every step of the way. But ashley, I’m going with you to paris. And I’m not gonna take no for an answer.

Ashley: I’m not gonna fight you on that.

Traci: Oh, good. Oh, good, because I’m not gonna interfere with alan. And whatever process he feels will make you better. But I’m gonna be there for you to give you the love and the support that you need.

Ashley: Thank you. Would you mind packing for me, please? And could you call and get the jet ready?

Traci: Of course, but where you going?

Ashley: I’m gonna go see alan.

Jack: Hold on, wouldn’t it be easier just to call him?

Ashley: I need to see him in person. I need to tell him what I experienced while it’s still fresh in my mind and let him know that I’m gonna take his advice. I promise you, my word of honor, I will do whatever I have to do to get better. I’ll see you soon.

Cole: You feel betrayed.

Victor: Yeah.

Cole: I understand. But we felt like this was the only way, victor. I mean, I swear, we only have the family’s best interest at heart.

Michael: What would happen if nikki were to stumble upon that secret panel, like cole did? What would happen to her sobriety if she were to find out that jordan was living in her basement?

Cole: Nobody wants to see you go to prison. My aunt is ruthless. If she somehow or another got the upper hand, if you slipped going down the stairs or she figured out a way to jimmy that lock, things could go wrong.

Michael: Unpredictable things. Things that would put everyone on the ranch in danger. In our plan, the only person who suffers is jordan.

Victor: So what’s your suggestion?

Cole: You be the hero. Just say your men found jordan washed up on the riverbank, barely alive.

Michael: You be the one to bring her in. Justice prevails because of victor newman.

()

Alan: Yes, I will call you as soon as she arrives, all right?

[ Knock on door ]

Alan: Oh, hold on. That may be her. Oh, come on in.

Ashley: Thanks.

Alan: Um, she’s here. Yes, will do.

Ashley: My brother?

Alan: Uh, your sister. They’re worried about you. Wondering if you’d disappear or wouldn’t show up where you said you would. I wish you’d called me. I would’ve come right over.

Ashley: You’re right. I’m losing my damn mind.

[ Cell phone chimes ]

Tucker: Hey, jean-jacques. Yeah, I’m sorry I had to cancel your meeting with audra, but she is to have no further contact with anyone at glissade, okay? Hold on, wait a minute. She’s meeting with the companies glissade acquired? How many do you know about? Uh, no, no, I’ll– I’ll take it from here. Um, yeah, I’ll… thank you. I’m gonna call you later.

Chelsea: Oh, oh, no.

Nick: Everything all right?

Chelsea: I completely missed a meeting with your daughter, also known as my boss.

Nick: Summer will certainly understand given the circumstances.

Chelsea: You know, adam’s really lucky you cover for him. I’ve been trying to focus at work, but it’s difficult. I’ve been really, really trying, but between you and me, my team has basically been on their own. I feel guilty.

Nick: Just take a leave of absence, chels. I mean, summer is a mother. She will absolutely understand.

Chelsea: No, I’d be letting too many people down. I thought about it, but I can’T. We’re finalizing our winter line. And my team is amazing, but I’m the only senior designer.

Nick: Okay, first, you gotta stop thinking that you’re letting anyone down. There’s gotta be a solution.

Chelsea: I can’t think of one.

Nick: There’s gotta be someone who could step in and help you finish the line.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: I’ve just been in a little bit of a funk about work, really. It’s nothing to worry about.

Adam: Okay. Well, if I promise not to worry, will you at least talk to me about it? ‘Cause it would make me feel a hell of a lot better to support you in a fraction of the way that you’ve let me lean on you.

Sally: Well, if you must know, I feel lost.

Adam: I knew it. I’ve been too distant lately.

Sally: No, no, no, no. This has absolutely nothing to do with you or us. We’re great. This is about my career. I’ve never been so unsure about my future.

Adam: Look, I know that I– I dropped the ball with victor about pushing your design company, okay? And I can pick that up with him again when I get back in town.

Sally: That’s the thing. I realized I don’t want you to. I think moving into interior design was a mistake. That may be the reason that my business hasn’t been a success is because my heart isn’t fully in it. I tried to convince myself that designing offices is the same as designing clothes, but I miss fashion. It’s in my dna.

Adam: So go back to it.

Sally: I’m just afraid that it’s too late. No, I mean, I’ve had my moment, a few of them, actually, and the business is fickle, memories are short. I could go to try and launch a line again and people are like, sally, who?

Adam: Okay, come on. I’m not gonna let you think like that. It is never too late to start over. Okay, and when I get back in town, I’m gonna do everything I can to help you do that.

Sally: Hearing you say it almost makes me believe that I can.

Jordan: My judge and jury. So, what’s the verdict? What are you gonna do with me?

Victor: Those two here will have me deliver you into the care of prison guards or the doctors of the loony bin.

Jordan: Is this some new trick, victor? You want me to believe this? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, you– you want me to die a slow and miserable death right in front of you?

Victor: You are an evil woman. You have done extraordinary damage to my family. Perhaps the story that i concocted, that you went onto that bridge whilst fleeing from my security guard, you slipped and plunged into waters 100 feet below. Maybe we make that story a reality. How’s that?

Jordan: Okay. I can’t play your game. You’ve won. You’ve won, you’re right. Done. Do with me what you will. Just put me out of my misery.

Victor: Not yet. With chewy, it’s never been easier

Adam: All right, the newman jet is all locked in. Are you, uh, good to go for first thing in the morning? Clear it with work?

Chelsea: I didn’t clear it with work yet, but I will. You know, I just had the most interesting conversation with nick. He suggested I take a leave of absence, step away from marchetti for a bit so I can focus on connor, not be pulled in a million directions.

Adam: I mean, that’s– that’s not a terrible idea.

Chelsea: Well, I’m sure nick would let you do the same.

Adam: No, I know he would, but working at newman is one of the few things that provides a welcome distraction. But then again, nick can step in for me at a moment’s notice. You don’t have the same luxury.

Chelsea: Yeah, my creative work certainly taps a different part of my brain, but I can’t access that when my heart is a thousand miles away with connor.

Adam: Okay, so do it.

Chelsea: I can’t, adam. I don’t have anyone to cover me. I’m not gonna leave summer in the lurch.

Adam: Look, I hope that this doesn’t sound too opportunistic, but I was just having a conversation and it might help both of you.

Chelsea: Okay, if you have an idea, go on.

Adam: Would you consider letting sally step in?

Alan: Why don’t we just take a breath, okay?

Ashley: So did traci tell you what happened?

Alan: Why don’t you tell me?

Ashley: Okay. Um, I’m talking to jack and traci and then I– I– I get kind of lightheaded and I– i guess I blacked out, which is what apparently I’ve been doing. And then I– I’m in this room and it’s all white, very bright white light and I’m there, but there’s two others of me, but we’re different. One is a– a bitch and the other one has like a southern accent and they’re fighting over me. They’re arguing over me.

Alan: What were they saying?

Ashley: They were saying that I should absolutely not go to paris with you and that I should let them take over. Is this what you meant? Is this what you were trying to explain to me?

Alan: I believe so, yeah. These personalities, alters, call them, they think they’re doing the right thing, ashley. They think they’re protecting you, but the fact that they exist at all means that there is something terribly wrong.

Ashley: Well, what are they protecting me from?

Alan: Well, that’s what we need to find out. I think you should go to paris with me as soon as possible.

Tucker: Yeah, hi, hayley. Uh, I need you to book me on the next flight to paris. Absolutely, tonight.

[ Jordan groaning ]

[ Jordan sobbing ]

Jordan: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, I will not die like this. I will not die like this. Not at your hands, victor, no. No, I will not. Help me, help me, help. Oh.

Cole: Just don’t fight.

Jordan: Please, please have mercy, please. Please, please.

[ Jordan panting ]

[ Jordan crying ]

Cole: Okay, put her back, put her back.

Victor: This is victor newman. We found that jordan woman who escaped from prison twice and who terrorized my family and almost killed my wife. We found her on the banks of the galewood river. Yes, that woman. She’s alive, we’ll bring her to you.

Cole: You’re doing the right thing.

Victor: No, cole, you and michael betrayed me. And that I will not easily forget. Thththe itch and rash of moderate to severe eczema <

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Straight to voicemail again.

Everett, it’s Stephanie and I’m starting to worry. Where are you?

So you know why Everett was acting so strangely? Why he attacked Eric completely unprovoked? Look, you both understand that I can’t give you any information based on, on prior psychiatric sessions that I’ve had with him. I can only give you insights that I’ve gained from, from right here during the interview in this room because I am no longer his psychiatrist.

Understood. And since I am not his psychiatrist, I, I’m not privy to his latest thoughts or feelings. Do you have any possible diagnosis? Yes. It would only be possibilities. But they’d be based on what the four of us saw right here in this room. Well, I sure as hell know what I saw. And it was like he was two very different people.

Right. Bobby and Everett. Yeah. Bobby and Everett. And as you said, they’re very different people and they both are They both live inside his head.

Mmm. Mmm. Wow, this brownie is so good. I might have to get the recipe so I can add it to the menu on Sweet Bitch. Looks like someone is over their morning sickness. Yeah, it’s definitely subsiding. I can see that. In fact, I’m ravenous now. Yeah, I’ve noticed. But more than that, Johnny, I’m not just ravenous, but I’m excited.

About this little person that’s growing inside of me. Yeah, I’m excited too. So you know what? Screw it. Screw what? Fear and doubt and worry. I am deciding right here, right now, that I am done living in a perpetual state of dread over what being exposed to that radiation may or may not have done to our baby.

Okay. I, okay. So, I want to tell all of our friends and family that we’re expecting. And I want them to be just as excited about it as I am right now. I think it’s time that we shout it from the rooftops of Salem, the news of our pregnancy. So, what do you say?

I had cook prepare us a nice afternoon snack.

Darling, are you alright? Yes, um, Actually, I’m relieved. I just got a text from Holly saying how sorry she was for what she said to me. That’s so good, darling. But I knew she would come around eventually. Express regret over how much she hurt you. Bollocks. Yes. Rita, dammit, this could wait. I told you not to bother me today unless it was urgent.

That’s fine. Set it up for Monday morning. And don’t call here again without a damn good reason, alright? Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa. What? What? What? How you just snapped at Rita. There’s nothing new there. Really? I have never heard you speak to her like that. She has thick skin. She’ll be fine. Maybe so, but I’m sure she was thrown by it, just like I was.

AJ, I can tell something’s upsetting you. I’m fine, I promise. No, no, you’re not. What is going on? And what has got you so wound up?

Sloane, sweetheart. It’s obvious that Jude isn’t ours biologically. I know that you’re still mourning her loss of her baby and Stop. Stop. Please. Jude isn’t ours biologically or otherwise. Is this why Melinda was here? Is there something wrong with the adoption? No!

Sloan. Baby, don’t confuse. What is it?

That’s what I’m trying to tell you. What I did. You know what, you had a lot to drink last night. Let me get you some more, okay? He’s Nicole and EJ’s.

Nicole and EJ’s baby. He’s not dead. He’s very much alive. He’s right there. Jude is their son.

No, it’s not possible. It can’t be. It is. It’s true. I’ve been lying. I lied the whole time. Why? Because I didn’t want to lose you. Like sands through

the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

You don’t want me to tell people I’m pregnant, do you? What? No! No, of course! I want to tell people eventually, I just You, you want to wait until we’re sure that the baby is, is okay, that the radiation didn’t cause any, any problems? Yeah. Yeah, I, Johnny, I get that. I’m concerned about that too, obviously. But, I mean, aren’t you sick of just obsessing over all the what ifs?

Our baby could be perfectly healthy, right? So, why not think about the positive outcome? You know, isn’t it better to focus on that instead of the alternative? Yeah. Yeah. I guess it is. Yes, it definitely is. So, should we, I don’t know, throw, throw a party at the mansion to announce that we’re expecting? Or, ooh, I know, you can make us a video and then we can put it on, um, social media and blast it all over.

Okay, babe, let’s just, let’s slow down. No, I don’t want to slow down. I want to enjoy everything. every moment of this pregnancy and we can’t do that until we stop treating it like some big dark secret. What? What are you thinking? I’m just, I’m thinking that’s not the only reason, okay? It’s not just the scare of the radiation exposure that I’m hesitant to tell people you’re pregnant.

Okay, well, what’s the other reason?

It wasn’t so long ago that my dad and Nicole lost their baby. Oh. Yeah, right. Well, maybe E. J. and Nicole finding out that they have a grandchild on the way will be I mean, I know it’s not Nicole’s grandchild biologically, but still, maybe it’ll be just the news that they need to help them finally start to heal.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Johnny, we’re gonna have to tell them sometime. I mean, it won’t be long before I start showing. Oh. Uh, yeah, I actually hadn’t even thought about that. Well, daddy, it is high time you start thinking about it because this little one is here to stay. So, uh, it is time that we start thinking about the future.

Yeah.

Okay, I’m waiting for an explanation as to why you bit Rita’s head off on the phone just now. And why are you acting all edgy and anxious? It’s not a big deal, really.

I suppose I was hoping Paulina might be calling to say that she had come to her senses that she was going to keep me on as DA. Well, she damn well should come to her senses about that. Well, she’s not going to. She was final in her decision. Well, it was a terrible decision. Hey, you know what? You did a really good job.

It’s gonna be her loss. Most assuredly will be. And once I have her recalled as mayor, she is going to rue the day she crossed the DiMera. Okay. You will have plenty of time to figure out how to exact your non violent revenge against that woman. But, um, honey, aren’t we supposed to be relaxing this afternoon?

Yes, yes, yes, I remember. Yes, yes, yes. Okay, so why don’t you come here and sit down and I will rub your neck. Ooh, yes, please. Okay. How’s that? That’s lovely. Lovely, lovely. You have a hot date? Huh? Hmm? Why do you keep checking your watch? Don’t be silly. I’ve already snagged the hottest catch in town. Then why are you so concerned about the time, especially since said hottest catch has her hands all over your body?

There’s no reason. Oh, wow. Best up da Mira. Otherwise I’m going to have to play my hardcore techniques. Oh. Yeah. So tell me, why do you keep checking your watch? And why are you so on edge? Okay, okay.

Let’s just say I’m expecting a delivery.

You took another woman’s child? Because you were afraid to lose me?

I was grieving at the miscarriage and then I was told I was infertile. Knowing how much it meant to you to be a father, I thought that if I, if I couldn’t give you a baby, I thought that you would leave me. I wanted to have a family with you so badly. Especially after losing my parents, my brother. And when you agreed that we could adopt, I, I was so happy.

I was, oh, I was relieved. It felt like, you know, we’d been given a second chance.

What I didn’t tell you was that that adoption, that second chance, it fell through, like, very last minute. What? The parents of the little boy that we were supposed to get, before the baby was even born, they decided last minute to pull out. What? Why? Because, because they did some research into my background and they found that they didn’t want a horrible person like me raising their child.

I was devastated. It was like there goes our second chance. You know how bad living a happy little life with our family together. And then. And then what? And then Dimitri von Leuschner showed up on my doorstep with the baby. Well, hold on a minute.

He and Leo Stark, they delivered Nicole’s baby. On the roadside. And Dimitri, he was supposed to, he was supposed to take the baby to the hospital. Right, but he couldn’t because he was swarming with cops. He couldn’t take him to the hospital because he was on the lam. So he brought him to me instead. And that’s when I saw him holding a precious little baby boy.

I, I decided to, to keep him.

I saw it as our last chance of being parents. Our last chance at happiness. It was my last chance to hold on to you. And, uh, and that’s when

I made the choice to keep Nicole’s baby and take him as ours.

Are you saying that I’m saying that I think that Everett has DID. Dissociative Identity Disorder. Have you heard of it? I am kind of familiar with it, yes. Abigail DeMera had it. Right. Right. It’s very rare and it’s often misdiagnosed. Usually it happens because of some early childhood trauma. I think that Everett may have lashed out at Eric because he was triggered by something that happened in his own childhood.

Right. Okay, and so that triggering event, um, I am to turn into Bobby. Hmm. Oh my God. If this is true, this would explain so much. Yeah, Stephanie posted his bail. We should call her. Water.

Jada, hi. Hey, Steph. Have you seen Everett? I mean, today, since he’s been out on bail? No, actually. And I’ve been calling him, trying to reach him, but he’s not picking up. Do you know where he is? I don’t. But listen, there’s some new information that’s come to light. Can you come down to the station? We need to discuss some things.

So what kind of delivery are you expecting? Oh, uh, nothing that you need to concern yourself with. Not now, anyway. Not now. Why are you being so cryptic about all of this? Hey. Oh, hi. Hi there. . Oh, Nicole. Dad, I haven’t, uh, had a chance to talk to you since you lost your DA job. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I, uh, I appreciate that, Johnny.

Yeah. Um, me, me too. And I would put in a good word for you, but, uh. My mom and I are not really on the best of terms. I suppose that even you think your mother is in the wrong, leaving isolation and, um, subjecting you and others to radiation. Yes, I do. Especially because

I’m pregnant.

Horrible nightmare. Just tell me it’s not true. Yeah, I wish that I could. What about, what about those DNA test results that prove that Nicole and EJ weren’t Jude’s parents? The um, the results were, they were tampered with. What?

By you. Eric,

Eric, believe me, my heart is broken. I know yours is too, probably more than mine. I wish I didn’t have to tell you any of this right now. Then why are you? Why are you coming clean with this now? So you need to make a decision, Sloan. Do you want to say goodbye to your freedom? Spend the rest of your life surrounded by barbed wire, fencing, and surly guards.

All for a pyrrhic victory. Where do you want to start, and you? Anywhere in the world. Have you ever been to Milan? I hear there are quite a lot of single billionaires roaming around there.

Please, please, I can’t, I can’t, I need just more time. I, you have only 24 hours and not a second more. I’m coming clean now because I, I had to, I, I had to. Why? Why? Why?

Because you were getting closer and closer to the truth. Every fire that I would put out, another fire would pop up. What are you talking about?

Leo knew the truth. Leo delivered the baby on the side of the road. That’s why he felt such a bond with him. And then Dimitri told Leo that he dropped the baby off with me. That’s when Leo was, he was gonna tell me at the salium, isn’t it, that night that

when the money all dried up. Yeah. Nicole and I, we found a bar drunk and that’s when he said he had news to share with Nicole to make her happy and make me sad. That’s why Nicole, Felt such a bond with him as well, she must have just sensed it. You shunned her. You, you accused her of kidnapping your child.

I wanted to keep her. When you knew all along that you was her child, that her baby was alive. You, you put, Nicole and EJ threw hell making them think that their child was dead. I did it because I love you! No! I did it because I love you! Don’t tell me you love me! Don’t tell me you love me or Jude! Because nobody would have ever done that to me.

You’re not even capable of love.

Wow. You know, I have to say, I Out of all my years as detective, I’ve never run across anyone with DID and I have to admit that I kind of thought it wasn’t real. Well, there are lots of myths about DID but it is an actual illness, right. Was right. Abigail suffered with it and uh, had a hard time, as did Chad.

Yeah. But she was successfully treated, right. She was. And I think that Everett can be as well. Yeah, but, uh, who the hell knows where he is right now? Only Stephanie hadn’t bailed him out. Yeah. I assume you’re talking about my having bailed out Everett? That’s what we were talking about. Well, why shouldn’t I have?

What’s going on? Oh my goodness, this is so exciting! Congratulations! Oh, wow! Isn’t this exciting, EJ? It is, yeah. Yeah! You knew, didn’t you? I did. And you didn’t tell me? Neither of you told me? Is Is it because you think I couldn’t handle it? Or Oh, no, no, no, Nicole. It isn’t that. Nicole, look, we weren’t telling anyone at first, really.

And I only told my father in confidence. Yeah, and as soon as we decided to spread the word, we wanted to make sure that you were the first to know. Oh. Oh. Oh, that’s, that’s very sweet. Oh, you two are going to be such great parents. Johnny, may I have a, uh, private moment with you? Just a little father son talk.

Yeah, sure. Excellent. Sure. Excuse us both, it might be a moment. Yeah, of course. How could you do this? How could you do this to E. G. and Nicole? How could you do this to me? How could you Believe me, please. I know it was terrible. I don’t want to hear that. I did it because I love you. Please believe that. Can I just say it?

No, I just, I love you. I did it for us. I wouldn’t do anything for her. Don’t touch me. I love you. I love you. Stop. Stop! I love you. No! Stop! You ready to

go, big guy? What are you doing?

Can’t you figure this out? I’m gonna take,

I’m gonna take Jude back to his real parents.

My

God, I don’t believe this. But if you look at all the mixed signals that Bobby was sending, it makes sense. And now I realize that everything I was so angry at him about, everything he did to hurt me, the lying, the cheating, walking out on me, he only did that because his other personality didn’t know the other one existed.

It was, it was because of his illness. And now the question is, what do we do to help him? First thing that has to happen is he has to admit that he needs help. But you, you discharged him from your care. Do you not realize that he No, no, I, I did not discharge him. I urged him to stay in treatment. So he lied to me.

Yes. He’s resistant to getting help. For good reason, he’s He’s frightened. He’s terribly frightened. And that is where you come in. You’re not thinking straight, Johnny. Don’t do this. Why would you make this decision when you know full well that it is a mistake, a catastrophic mistake, in fact? Honestly, it’s none of your business.

Oh, but it certainly was my business when I flew that specialist in from Switzerland, right? You only did so that you could control our decision. Not true, damn it. I was trying to be helpful. You want to be helpful? Then be helpful. Okay, look. Chanel is excited. And happy. About this baby, okay? She has chosen to be optimistic.

She has chosen to believe that this baby will be a blessing to us no matter what. Okay. And what about you? Have you chosen to believe that too? Yeah. Yeah, I have. Okay. Okay, and I’m trying to be optimistic. I’m trying to be happy and excited. Okay, trying. Really? Because you are having serious misgivings about this.

I know you are. Okay, okay. I’m not gonna lie to you. I’ll admit I’m a little worried. Okay, I don’t know if going through with this pregnancy is the right thing, but I also don’t feel that it’s my place to say so. What do you mean it’s not your place? You’re the child’s father. I understand that, but Chanel is carrying our child, okay?

She’s my wife, whom I love and respect. And I’m not just gonna overrule what she wants. Well, as I said, I think you’re making a terrible mistake. Well, you’re entitled to your opinion. To me, if it makes my wife happy, then it’s never a mistake.

Here, I want you to have this. Tales of the Cuddly Bunny? Yeah. I, I got it at my baby shower, and um, You know, I thought I gave all the gifts away, and I came across this, and I, I just couldn’t give it up. And, and maybe this is why. Well, I’m really grateful. This is our, our first baby gift. And, Nicole, I know that this must be really, really hard for you.

It is. I have to admit. But I think it’s because seeing how excited you are reminds me of how excited I was to have a baby and to raise another child. But I, I want you to know, honey, I’m so very happy for you. Thank you. Thank you so much. That’s so wonderful.

Oh, my sweet little baby boy. Stay away from him.

At least let me say goodbye to him. No, you don’t get to do that. And don’t say another word.

Oh, oh gosh, I’m, I’m so sorry. What? No, you, you have nothing to be sorry about. Yes, yes I do. I mean, here you and Johnny have brought such wonderful news and I’m falling apart.

Nicole, darling, what’s wrong? Oh, uh, Chanel and I were just talking and I, I got emotional, understandably. No, no, not understandably. I should be focusing on the positive, and this baby is going to bring so much joy to all of us. Right, Grandpa EJ? Oh, of course, yes. Yeah. Okay, well, uh, I think we probably better head upstairs.

Okay. Right. Okay. And thank you, Nicole, for I’ll, um, I’ll see you guys later, okay?

Oh, my precious Nicole, I wish I could take your pain away. No one can. But I, I, I do, I do seem to move forward since, you know, I, I have a daughter. And I have a husband and a new job. Uh,

but I just, I have to accept the fact that The pain is always gonna be there. It is never gonna go away.

Hey, sweet boy.

I’ve come to love so much.

I’m gonna miss you. So much. I’m never, I’m never gonna stop missing you. Do you think it’s, what

you think about going to meet your own mommy and daddy now? Yeah.

I know. And don’t think about leaving at all. I’ll be back.

And you’ll pay for what you’ve done. I

want to help Everett in any way that I can, but what can I do? The most effective treatment for DID is intense, prolonged psychotherapy. Well, that’s if Bobby or Everett is a minimal to being helped. Right. And you’re hoping that I can convince him to get back into treatment? I think you’re the best shot we have.

You have a prolonged friendship. He trusts you.

Then I’m in. I’ll do whatever I can. All right. And this is the first step. Right. Um, is there any particular strategy to, uh, You know, persuade Everett that he has to get help. I think the best strategy is to proceed carefully. If he has a sense that you’re forcing him, he’ll become defiant and resistant.

Right. I understand. In short, we have to proceed very carefully. Yeah. But first, we have to find him.

So, how did it feel finally telling people about the pregnancy? Well, uh, EJ and Nicole are family, so It felt right. And, uh, what did your dad have to talk to you about? Why did he need to talk to you privately? Um, yeah, he just, um, you know, since he, you know, He hired that specialist. He now knows of all of the risks and dangers associated with the baby being exposed to radiation, so.

So? So Johnny, what did he say to you? So he just said, you know, he didn’t want me to worry about any of the bills that he’s got us covered. Oh! Wow, well that was, that was really, really kind of him. Yeah. So how was your talk with, um, Oh, man, it was so sad. Yeah, oh, look at this little book she gave me. She said she got it at her shower.

And she, uh, she kept it? Yeah. Yeah, she got rid of everything else, but she said she couldn’t bring herself to get rid of this book. Oh, that was, uh, very sweet of her to give it to you. Yeah. Yeah But Johnny she is just She’s still in such terrible pain Still grieving that little boy. She and your dad boss now with us You know having a baby of our own.

Yeah, it’s gonna make it even harder for her to heal I mean once I start showing and then the baby is born It’s just gonna be a constant reminder of her loss, you know, but there’s there’s No avoiding that, right? Yeah, there is. We could move out, get a place of our own.

Feeling better, I hope. I am. Thank you, honey, for taking such good care of me. It’s what I love to do. I’ll get it. Oh, maybe it’s the delivery you’re expecting. Geez. We’ll see. Oh.

Eric. Jude. What brings you by? Hey, Eric. Oh, hey cutie. What are you doing here?

Eric, what’s going on?

Jude. What about Jude? Your son.

He didn’t die.

Jude is your son. What? How? What? How?

Oh, I know, I know. I know. I know. Hey, buddy. Hey, buddy.

[String playing classical music]

Sheila: [Laughs] Oh… I have been praying for this…

Finn: [Sighs]

Sheila: …Hoping that– that you would make it to my wedding, and here you– you are, my beautiful, beautiful boy.

Finn: [Exhales]

[Seabirds calling]

Steffy: What are the girls up to?

Liam: Oh, they’re just making sock puppets of us and finn and hayes.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Liam: Oh, yes.

Steffy: [Laughs] I’m almost afraid to ask. What do we– what do we look like?

[Laughing] Is…is that you?

Liam: [Goofy voice] Spitting image, right?

Steffy: [Laughs] I don’t even wanna know how I turned out.

Liam: Ooh. Still working on that. Uh, kelly wants to get the, uh, the hair just right.

Steffy: That makes sense.

[Laughter] I love when they are together.

[Girls giggling in distance] I also love how it’s making me forget about deacon and sheila’s wedding today.

[Sighs]

Brooke: Oh, eric, you are looking better and better.

Eric: Makes me wonder what I looked like before.

Brooke: [Laughs]

Eric: Thanks for checking in on me. I appreciate it. So, uh, is it true, what I’ve been hearing?

Ridge: Is what true?

Eric: Donna’s with katie, and they just texted me, and they said that, uh, deacon and sheila are getting married today?

Ridge: Bad news travels fast.

Eric: What the hell is deacon thinking?

Eric: Well, I’m one to talk, aren’t I, having been married to sheila myself?

Ridge: That is not the same thing. There’s no comparison.

Eric: [Sighs] Yeah.

Brooke: Eric, you had no way of knowing all those years ago what a sociopath sheila was.

Eric: But deacon knows. He’s gone into this eyes wide open.

Ridge: He knows exactly what that woman did to her family. But apparently, that makes no difference to him.

Steffy: If deacon was smart, he’d call off this wedding, save him all the pain and misery later down the line.

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Do you think they’re doing the deed right now?

Steffy: [Sighs]

[Girls giggling in distance] Probably. I don’t know. Deacon and sheila told finn that they’re gonna have the wedding at the beach.

Liam: Oof. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was happening…right below us.

Steffy: Trust me, I’ve already looked. I know sheila wants nothing more than to have finn at her wedding.

Finn: Look, I, um… I just came to pick up some pizzas.

[Horn honks in distance] Okay, why–why are you get– you two said you were getting married on the beach.

Sheila: Oh, we– we changed our mind.

Deacon: Look, you–you gotta wait for your pizzas anyway. Why don’t you just stay?

Finn: [Sighs]

Sheila: Yes. Sweetheart, please stay. This–this was– this was meant to be.

Finn: [Sighs]

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Eric: How’s hope doing with all this? I mean, it’s one thing to realize the two of them are sharing an apartment, but… but for her father to marry this sociopath?

Brooke: You know my daughter. She says she’s never going to forgive or forget all of the horrible things sheila’s done to our lives, but…

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Meanwhile, she loves her father, and she’s over there supporting him right now.

Eric: You didn’t try to talk her out of it?

Brooke: No, I did try to talk her out of it.

Eric: Well, did you succeed?

Brooke: Apparently, she thinks that there may be a change in sheila.

Eric: What?

Brooke: Well… [Sighs] She thinks that it’s because of her father, because of his positive influence, and the love that deacon has for sheila is actually making a difference.

Ridge: I’m so sorry. And this is ridiculous. I know you love your daughter, but if she thinks that sheila has changed, that’S…not just concerning. That’s dangerous.

Steffy: [Sighs] The girls will be getting hungry soon.

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m sure, ’cause making… eerily realistic sock puppets…

Steffy: [Laughs]

Liam: …Works up an appetite.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Liam: It’s actually really nice of finn to go pick up the pizza.

Steffy: Yeah, it’s nice of him to drive all the way to il giardino, especially when there’s so many pizza joints around here. But kelly–I mean, she just… loves deacon’s specialty pizza, so…

Liam: [Laughs] She’s very particular.

Steffy: She is.

Liam: It’s kind of ironic… finn going to deacon’s restaurant today of all days.

Steffy: Well, at least he doesn’t have to worry about running into sheila today.

Sheila: Please, finn, sweetheart.

Finn: I… [Sighs]

Sheila: Say that you’ll stay for the ceremony.

Deacon: Come on, finn. What do you say? Look, tom’s gonna keep it short and sweet. Won’t you, buddy? I mean, you remember tom, right?

Finn: Yeah, uh, from when we found sheila.

Deacon: Yeah, he told us to look in the warehouse, you know, where sugar was keeping your mother. I mean, we never would have known to look. In my book, that makes this guy a superhero.

Sheila: In mine, too.

Tom: Oh, s-superhero is laying it on a little thick, don’t you think?

Deacon: No, I don’T. You helped save my bride’s life. In my book, that makes you a superhero, and I’m just glad that you’re here. I mean, life is so crazy, right? I mean, who knew when I invited tom to come to the wedding that it would turn out that he’s actually a licensed wedding officiant?

Finn: Huh.

Tom: I wore many a hat in my past life.

Deacon: [Laughs] I mean, are we lucky, or are we lucky? And hope’s agreed to be your mother’s maid of honor.

Finn: You have?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: So, come on, finn. What do you say? Just stick around to the end of the ceremony while you’re waiting for your pizzas.

Sheila: Finn, sweetheart, please. Uh, deacon’s right. I… it’s gonna be a short ceremony. It’s just us exchanging our vows.

Finn: Uh… [Sighs] S-sure. Sure.

Sheila: Yes!

[Laughter]

Tom: First of all, I wanna say how honored I am to be here. Now, I have not known you two for very long. Life works in mysterious ways. Fate brought me here… just as fate brought you two together. Now, deacon, I saw the passion and care you had in saving this woman’s life. You, too, finn. I mean, you are both amazing men. And, sheila, I look into your eyes, and I see the passion and love that you have for deacon and finn. Now…I’ve spoken with deacon, and I know a little bit about your past. I think all of us here believe in the power of redemption and second chances.

Bladder leak

underwear has one job.

Eric: I agree with ridge. I think it’s frightening that– that hope–that hope would even buy into this, this whole idea that sheila’s changing.

Brooke: Wait. Okay. [Laughs] I don’t think she’s buying into it. I just think she’s being open for her father. By the way, I did tell her how I felt about it, especially her being maid of honor.

Eric: Wait. Wait. She’s standing up for sheila?

Ridge: Yeah. Can you believe that?

Brooke: Yeah. I just– I just hope she doesn’t go through with it.

Ridge: Why can’t she just do what finn did– just walk away from it?

Brooke: Well, about that– she did say that she thinks there’s a part of finn that would like to be there for his mother.

Ridge: Oh. I’m sure there is. The point is, finn is gonna be nowhere near that wedding. I promise you.

Liam: Hey, can I ask you something?

[Girls chattering indistinctly in distance]

Liam: Uh…

[Girls giggling in distance] Finn wouldn’t tell me, but how is he really doing, knowing that his birth mom and deacon are getting hitched today?

Steffy: Honestly, I’M… I’m not completely sure. But I-I do know this. Finn totally gets why he can’t make an appearance at the wedding today.

Tom: Well, all righty. You two lovebirds didn’t come here to listen to yours truly gab.

[Laughter] So… it’s time for you to talk to each other, speak your vows.

[Horn honks in distance] Have at it, deacon.

Deacon: Okay, um… I didn’t write anything down because I wanted to make sure that I-I spoke from my heart, not from my head. Sheila, you came into my life like…a hurricane, and you turned it upside down in every possible way, in the best possible ways. You know, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, and tom talked about redemption and second chances, and the good lord has also seen fit to give me quite a few of them, coming out of prison, reconnecting with my beautiful daughter… having this unbelievable business, but most important, having the second chance to be with the woman who I love more than anyone in this world and to be the very best husband that I can be, and that’s one second chance that I’m gonna make the most of because I love you.

Sheila: Wow. Well, you talk about miracles. Brushed up my life, and I’m here getting married to you. I have hope as my maid of honor, and I have my son, who… is here to share on my wedding day. My heart has never been so full. Deacon, you have always stood by me, no matter what. When I need strength, you are my strength. And when I need guidance… you make me a better person. You complete me. And all I’ve ever wanted… I have right now. Because all I’ve ever wanted is to be loved… completely. And I feel that. True…complete love. And you give that to me. You give that to me every day, always. And I love you.

[Mouths words]

Sheila: [Exhales] (Chef vo) fancy feast. at that

[Birds chirping]

Eric: Finn is not gonna be at that wedding today.

Ridge: No, of course not.

Brooke: Well, unfortunately, hope said there is a part of finn that would like to be at the wedding. However, his loyalty, his commitment will always be to steffy.

Ridge: It better be.

Liam: It was deacon’s idea, right, to invite finn today?

Steffy: Apparently, he knew how much it would mean to his bride if her son were there.

Liam: Yeah, yeah. Do you think sheila put deacon up to it?

[Girls giggling]

Steffy: You know what? Sheila can try to manipulate him, but it’s not gonna work. Finn’s not gonna be part of her life ever.

Liam: What is taking finn so long at il giardino?

Seffy: I know.

Tom: [Exhales deeply] Well, it’s time to get to the nitty gritty.

[Chuckles]

Tom [Clears throat]

Tom: Do you, deacon, take this woman to be your wedded wife? And will you be faithful to her for as long as you shall live?

Deacon: I do, and I will.

Tom: Then repeat after me. “I, deacon…”

Deacon: I, deacon…

Tom: “Take you, sheila to be my wedded wife…”

Deacon: Take you, sheila, to be my wedded wife…

Tom: “To have and to hold…”

Deacon: To have and to hold…

Tom: “From this day forward…”

Deacon: From this day forward.

Tom: “For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”

Deacon: For richer, poorer, in sickness and in health.

Tom: “To love and to cherish till death do us part.”

Deacon: To love and to cherish until death do us part.

Tom: Do you, sheila, take this man to be your wedded husband and will you be faithful to him for as long as you shall live?

Sheila: I do.

Tom: Then–

Sheila: Yes, I will.

[Laughter]

Tom: Then repeat after me. “I, sheila, take you, deacon to be my wedded husband.”

Sheila: I, sheila, take you deacon, to be my wedded husband.

Tom: “To have and to hold from this day forward.”

Sheila: To have and to hold from this day forward.

Tom: “For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health.”

Sheila: For richer, for poorer, sickness and in health.

Tom: “To love and to cherish till death do us part.”

Sheila: To love and to cherish till death do us part.

Tom: Um… the rings?

Deacon: Oh. Finn, would you hand these to tom for your mother and me?

Tom: These rings are symbols of eternity in the unbroken circle of love. Love freely given has no beginning or end. You’ve chosen to exchange rings as a sign of your love. Deacon, put this ring on sheila’s finger and repeat after me. “With this ring, I give you my heart.

Deacon: With this ring, I give you my heart.

Tom: “I promise, “from this day forward, you shall not walk alone.”

Deacon: I promise, from this day forward, you shall not walk alone. All nine toes of you.

[Laughter]

Sheila, put this ring on deacon’s finger and repeat after me. “With this ring…

Sheila: With this ring,

Tom: “I give you my heart.

Sheila: I give you my heart.

Tom: “I promise, “from this day forward…

Sheila: I promise, from this day forward…

Tom: “You shall not walk alone.”

Sheila: You shall not walk alone. No, you will always be walking beside me with my nine toes.

[Laughter]

Well, by the power vested in me by the state of california, it is my great pleasure to pronounce deacon and sheila husband and wife. Deacon, you may kiss your bride.

[Clicking]

Sheila: [Laughing]

Deacon: [Laughing]

[Applause]

[Laughter]

Announcer: Here’s a look at what’s ahead.

Poppy: And I’ve loved you from the moment I first saw you.

Bill: Let’s do it now.

Brooke: Steffy, this has nothing to do with the company.

Steffy: It’s a business decision. Hope for the future needs to come to an end… today.

Nick: So, tell us, how are you doing?

Summer: Um, I’m doing better. My stress levels are to a point where I’m not jumping every time a phone rings, so.

Phyllis: Harrison is still having nightmares?

Summer: Not as often. He’ll have really good days, and then, all of a sudden, he has to be as close to me as physically possible, all because that psycho told him that we didn’t want him anymore.

Nick: And then he settles down?

Summer: Yeah, the therapist says it’s a process, but we’re– we’re good, you know? We’re– we’re doing okay.

Phyllis: What’s wrong?

Summer: I just told you, I’m fine.

Nick: Yeah, but we can tell something’s wrong.

Summer: I don’t wanna talk about it, okay? How are you two?

Phyllis: Is it claire?

Summer: Mom–

Nick: If something’s bothering you, please just tell us about it. Has claire been coming around again?

Summer: No. She’s kept her promise to stay away from harrison. Not that it’s really mattered.

Nick: What does that mean?

Summer: ‘Cause harrison keeps on asking about her, okay? He’s worried sick about her. It’s what all of his nightmares are about. And it just– it breaks my heart. I hate it. She has this power to upset my little boy, even though she’s not even around. I just wish that I could wave a magic wand and make her disappear forever.

Claire: Nikki looked so happy to be home, didn’t she?

Victoria: She really did. You know, when I picture my mom, I picture her strong and confident. It’s so nice to see her back to her normal self. I know it’s gonna be one day at a time when it comes to the alcohol, but I just get this sense of strength coming from her that I haven’t felt since jordan slithered her way into our lives.

Claire: Yeah.

Victoria: I didn’t say that because I want you to feel responsible for any of it, because you’re not.

Claire: I know. But… sometimes I can’t help feel it.

Victoria: We all survived. And we’re gonna live happy and successful lives while jordan rots in hell. Look, here’s another way to look at it. If it weren’t for jordan, we would– we would have never found you. In my mind, that’s a pretty fair exchange and I know your grandmother agrees.

[ Knocking at door ]

Cole: Hey.

Victoria: Hi.

Cole: Hey. Sorry to bail right after lunch like that.

Victoria: No, yeah.

Cole: Hi, sweetheart.

Victoria: Okay, it was a little sudden, but did you handle the business that you needed to take care of?

Cole: Yeah. Yeah, I– I think so.

[ Cell phone pings ]

Michael: Oh, welcome home, nikki. You look wonderful!

Nikki: Oh, thank you, michael. For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say that I feel the same way.

Michael: I’m happy to hear that. And lauren will be, too.

Nikki: Now, I still have a lot more work to do, but while I’m an outpatient, I will have daily mandatory meetings. I am going to do it right this time.

Victor: I am sure you will.

Nikki: And I cannot thank lauren enough for stepping in for me at newman media. She is a wonderful friend, and I owe her a long, expensive lunch.

Michael: Now that sounds like a great idea. How about now?

Nikki: Now?

Michael: I’m sure lauren can slip away from work for an early repast. And what better way to celebrate this new chapter than the four of us getting together? What do you think, victor?

Kyle: No, harrison, I– I don’t know why chickens can’t fly.

Harrison: They’re birds, aren’t they?

Kyle: Yeah… I mean, I guess. No? I– of course, they are.

Harrison: Then why can’t they?

Kyle: Well, they sort of do. They kind of hop around, then they, you know, get up in the air for a little while, just like this.

[ Both laughing ] Okay. Let’s go get some ice cream.

Harrison: Sure.

Kyle: Yeah. Hey. Hey, what is it? What’s wrong?

Harrison: It’s her. The witch is back.

Nick: Look, I understand how you feel. Your child is hurting, and it’s easy to blame claire because claire is the reason that jordan came into our lives. But you do know that claire doesn’t want harrison to suffer, right?

Summer: I guess. I don’t know if what she wants actually matters, though, ’cause either way, she was a part of something horrific that happened to my family. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for me to not wanna see her.

Nick: I get that. I do.

Summer: But you’re ready to argue with me about it anyway.

Nick: I just know that harrison really likes claire, and claire certainly cares about harrison. Maybe they should spend some time together once in a while.

Summer: So you think that claire should be harrison’s nanny?

Nick: It doesn’t even need to go that far, summer. It could be something as simple as just letting harrison see that claire is safe and secure, and that he is, too.

Summer: He has seen her. He’s seen her.

Nick: Maybe it needs to be more than that. If they saw each other regularly, if they fell into a nice routine, it might make harrison feel more confident and cool with everything.

Summer: You sound exactly like kyle.

Nick: I don’t mean to–

Summer: What am i supposed to do? Ignore my own feelings about this? ‘Cause, why? Claire is somehow entitled to a job with someone else’s child? Is that the answer? Is it? Is that everybody’s answer except for mine?

Phyllis: Can I say something?

Nick: Please do. I really feel like I’m screwing this up.

Phyllis: No. Um… hey, summer. Listen to me. This is not our call. Not your dad’s, not mine. Certainly not the newmans’ call. It’s yours. If you’re not ready or willing to trust claire with harrison, you shouldn’t be pressured to do so. Not by kyle, not by anyone.

Kyle: You see?

Harrison: It looked like her.

Kyle: Well, but it wasn’T. The witch is gone. She’s never coming back, and she’s never gonna be able to hurt you agaiN.

Harrison: You promise?

Kyle: Absolutely.

Harrison: Then what about claire? Can she hurt her again?

Kyle: Okay, harrison. Listen to me. What you and claire went through, it was really scary. I know you’re still worried about it. But I promise you, your mom and I will never let anything like that happen to you again. The woman who did this, she was– she was sick in her mind. But she’s gone now, and she’s never coming back. Okay?

Harrison: Okay.

Kyle: All right. Let’s go get that ice cream.

Harrison: Dad?

Kyle: Hm?

Harrison: Why doesn’t mommy like claire?

Claire: More business?

Cole: Yeah. Yeah, I’m afraid so.

Victoria: What is it? Is your publisher hounding you for your next masterpiece?

Cole: No, no, no. There’s no pressure on that front. My deadline is miles away.

Claire: You’re not being completely honest with us, are you? You keep dancing around it, but it’s getting harder to pretend that that’s not what you’re doing for all of us.

Cole: Wha– what do you think that I’m not telling you?

Claire: Oxford wants you back. Is that it?

Cole: Claire, listen–

Claire: No, look, I know you said that it’s not an issue, but it’s your job, it’s your career, and they’re gonna need you back eventually. I’m gonna be completely honest, maybe a little bit selfish. I don’t want you to go. I just found you and I hate the thought of losing you so soon.

Victoria: I would hate that too.

Victor: Well, I mean, nikki just got home, so I think she needs some time to settle in, right?

Michael: Oh, of course, of course. No pressure at all. I just know that lauren would love to see you looking so well.

Nikki: Aw, and I can’t wait to see her either. To tell you the truth, I am starving.

Victor: Baby, are you sure?

Nikki: I’m tired of living under this dark cloud. I don’t wanna miss any more moments with the people I care about.

Victor: Well, then let’s do it.

Michael: Great, great, great. I will call lauren and make a reservation.

Victor: Good.

Michael: Oh, gosh! Victor, I almost forgot. I’m sorry. Uh, I know you want me to sign off on those german contracts.

Victor: Yeah, they were due today.

Michael: They’re 98% finished. I just need to make one more pass.

Victor: You’ve got to send it now, all right?

Michael: I– I am sorry. It slipped through the cracks. I will get right on it. It shouldn’t take me too long and I’ll meet you at society.

Victor: See you there. All right.

Michael: All right.

Marshalls buyers have a very

particular set of skills.

Cole: All right, okay. So. Let me make this clear. England is not on my radar right now, okay? You have my word on that.

Claire: Good. Thank you. I feel better.

Cole: And I have no intentions of leaving you guys anytime soon.

Victoria: So, what was that call about, then?

Cole: Uh, it was, well, extending my sabbatical.

Victoria: For how long?

Cole: Right now, it’s open-ended.

Claire: Won’t oxford need you back before the next semester?

Cole: Yeah, well, we’re– we’re just working out all of the details and– but, you know, it’s all gonna be just fine.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Cole: Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Why– why would you ask that?

Victoria: I don’t know. I mean, you seemed a little preoccupied at lunch. You seem a little bit jumpy right now.

Cole: Uh, well, I’m sorry. Uh, I got a lot on my mind right now, but don’t worry, it’s nothing that’s, you know, that’s gonna affect anyone or anything, so, we’re good.

Victoria: You don’t still suspect that my father had something to do with jordan’s death, do you?

Cole: No, I don’T. No. What would be the point, anyway? I mean, if jordan is really gone, I mean, why does it matter?

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: I couldn’t agree more.

Claire: You said “if” jordan’s gone.

Cole: Did I?

Claire: Does that mean that you think she might not be, that she could still be out there somewhere?

Cole: Claire, claire, no. Absolutely not. I don’t believe that jordan is out there ready to come after you or anybody else ever again. And, you know, if what victor did or didn’t do has something to do with that, then I’m just gonna make it my business to let him handle it himself. I think what you should do is just– actually, I think what we all should do is just take a deep breath and count our blessings.

Victoria: You know what? I think your father’s right. I do. I mean, we’re safe now. We’ve been given a gift. So, I think we just need to stop looking over our shoulders and start living again.

Kyle: Why do you think mommy doesn’t like claire?

Harrison: I can just tell.

Kyle: How so?

Harrison: She’s not as nice. Maybe she thinks I like claire more than her.

Kyle: No, I’m sure she doesn’t think that.

Harrison: Claire’s my friend, but I love mommy.

Kyle: Well, mommy knows that. You see, while you were away, mommy was really worried. It’s just taking her a little time not to be worried anymore.

Harrison: But claire didn’t scare me. The witch did.

Kyle: No, I know that. And mommy does too. We just need to give mommy a little extra time, okay? All right.

Harrison: Can claire come be with us here?

Kyle: Oh, I don’t know. She might be busy.

Harrison: Well, we should call her. ‘Cause there’s a ferris wheel at the carnival, and it’ll go away tomorrow and she probably hasn’t seen it yet, and it might make her feel better to ride it if she’s not doing okay.

[ Kyle chuckles ]

Kyle: I’ll see what I can do.

Nick: Summer, of course, hiring a nanny, completely your call.

Summer: And kyle’S. Look, I’m not trying to leave him out of it. I just think that we should agree.

Nick: 100%. When it comes to who your child hangs out with, a parent’s comfort level is everything.

Summer: But you still think I’m wrong about claire, don’t you?

Nick: I did not say that.

Summer: Dad, I know you. You’re not just gonna drop this. You think I’m being unfair to her.

Nick: Okay. Um, I don’t think this has anything to do with claire at all. I think this is about you.

Summer: Me?

Nick: Yep. You want my theory?

Phyllis: You’re gonna hear his theory whether you want it or not.

Nick: It is simply an observation.

Summer: I’m listening.

Nick: I think you’re taking out all this built-up anger and rage on claire because you can’t take it out on the real villain here, which is jordan.

[ Michael sighs ]

Claire: Let’s talk about my riding lesson.

Victoria: Okay.

Claire: I’m terrified.

Victoria: Come on, claire! You’re gonna be fine. I mean, we are putting you on midnight blue, who is the safest and the kindest horse in all of the stables. And your father is an excellent teacher.

Claire: Did he teach you?

Cole: [ Chuckles ] Well, your mother was already a very accomplished rider when I met her. She certainly didn’t need any lessons in that area.

Victoria: Well, I think that that’s your father’s kind way of saying that I was an accomplished rider, but I had some insecurities in other areas.

Claire: Look at you all these years later.

Victoria: Yeah.

Claire: Well, I was wondering, if it’s not too much trouble, if both of my expert equestrian parents wanted to give me my lesson now.

Victoria: Uh, yeah, sure. We could do that. Can we?

Cole: Yes, absolutely. That sounds great. Yeah.

[ Cell phone pings ] Hang on. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis held me back…

Cole: I– uh, I’m gonna have to postpone this riding lesson for an hour or two.

Victoria: Oh? What’s going on?

Cole: Uh, I just– something I have to take care of.

Victoria: Really? Is it that urgent?

Cole: I wanna get it off my plate. So, uh, why don’t you two go on down to the stables and get to know midnight blue a little better, and then I’ll see you there.

Victoria: Uh, well, is there an eta?

Cole: Uh, just whenever I get done. I– I really don’t know right now.

[ Victoria scoffs ] What?

Victoria: I just– you really are the man of mystery today, cole.

Cole: Well, it’s– it’s really no big deal. I just need, uh, to fill out some forms for the sabbatical. But I promise I’m gonna be down there just as soon as I can.

Claire: Okay. I’ll cut you some slack on the lesson, but only because you’re going to all this trouble to stay here, and that makes me happy.

Cole: This is as much for me as it is for you. So… tell you what, just– you’re going down to the stables, and I’m gonna get there before you know it, okay?

Claire: Do you think that these shoes are okay for the lesson, or should I change into boots?

Victoria: Don’t you think it’s kind of late in the uk to be sending texts?

Claire: I don’t know. Maybe that’s how they do things at oxford.

Victoria: Yeah, maybe.

Claire: Come on, let’s go to the stables!

Nick: You know, I’m not trying to be a cheerleader for claire. I had my doubts about her just like everyone else, but I have watched her. I’ve seen harrison with her. I really don’t think that claire is a threat.

Phyllis: Okay, well, summer shouldn’t be forced to hire her.

Nick: That is not what I’m suggesting. I’m just saying I think you should let go of some of this anger because it’s got you tied up in knots. I’ll bet you anything harrison’s picking up on it.

Summer: No, I never badmouth claire in front of him. I don’T.

Nick: You don’t have to. Kids sense things about parents. You always could.

Summer: So what am I supposed to do? Fake it? Act like she’s my best friend? I’m not good at that.

Nick: Then maybe just let her come around and let harrison see that she’s okay. I think this would be good for all of you.

Summer: Or, having to dwell on her at all is just gonna make things worse. Look, I had a bad feeling about claire long before the kidnappings. Sometimes, you just have an instinct about people.

Nick: And harrison’s instinct is to like and trust claire. So… do it for him. Actually, you should do it for yourself. Look, you have been carrying around all this fear and anger. Jordan’s gone. Don’t you think it’s time you let the rest of the bad stuff go away along with her?

Cole: I didn’t think this would happen so fast.

Michael: Neither did I, but I had a chance to get nikki and victor out of the house, so I figured it was now or never.

Cole: How did you manage that?

Michael: Lauren and I are supposed to meet them at society to celebrate nikki coming back, which means we have to work fast before victor gets suspicious.

Cole: All right, all right. Let’s do it, let’s do it.

Michael: All right. Well, which one of these panels is–

Cole: I’ve got it. I’ve got it right here.

Michael: I can’t believe I’m about to do this.

Cole: It’s for the greater good. Come on.

Michael: Yeah, to protect victor from himself.

Victor: Well, well, well.

Nick: Mom! So glad you’re back.

Nikki: Oh, me too. It’s so good to see you.

Summer: Grandma, you look amazing.

Nikki: Aw, thank you. I feel even better.

Victor: Doesn’t she look great?

Nick: Yes.

Victor: In fact, so good that we will have lunch with michael and lauren.

[ Nikki gasps ]

Nikki: Why don’t you join us?

Phyllis: Even me?

Nikki: Yes, phyllis, even you.

Victor: Why not?

[ Victor chuckles ]

[ Cell phone pings ] I have got to go.

Nikki: What? We just got here.

Victor: I know, but I’ve got to take care of this.

Nikki: What is it? Victor!

Victor: Sweetheart…

Nikki: What is going on?

Victor: It’s a very simple business matter I don’t want you to worry about, all right?

Nikki: Why are you being so vague? Did something happen at newman while I was gone?

Victor: Sweetheart, I have no time now to discuss it, okay? I’ll be back.

Nikki: But, victor, I– I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. At the home depot, you can get up to $500 off

Nick: What, uh, was that about?

Nikki: Oh, just your father being mysterious about some business he has to take care of.

Phyllis: Victor being mysterious? That’s a shock.

Nick: Is he coming back?

Nikki: Well, he said he was, but who knows? Anyway.

Summer: It really is great to see you.

Nikki: Oh, and you too, my darling. How is harrison?

Summer: We’re making progress.

Nikki: I’m gonna come by tomorrow to visit him.

Summer: Oh, he would love that.

Nick: You really do look great, mom.

Summer: Right? Her face is, like, glowing.

Nikki: All right, now you’re embarrassing me.

Phyllis: What’s your secret?

Nikki: Alcoholism.

Victoria: You know, midnight blue has really taken to you.

Claire: You think so?

Victoria: Mm-hmm. Horses have really good instincts about people.

Claire: He’s so smart. And gentle. It’s like he knows how much I have to learn.

Victoria: You will. You have all excellent teachers.

Claire: I think about that sometimes.

Victoria: You think about what?

Claire: You and dad teaching me things. What my life would have been like if jordan hadn’t taken me from you. Tying my shoelaces, riding a bike, driving a car. I would’ve learned all those things from my parents.

Victoria: I think about that a lot too. Especially lately.

[ Victoria sighs ] You know, in the beginning, when we thought that we had lost you, I felt so empty. It hurt to think about you, and reliving it was really painful. But, then the days and the weeks and the years went by and… I was surprised to realize that I could actually think about my baby, eve, with some gratitude. That miracle had been in this world, even if it wasn’t long enough. I mean, it was still painful, that’s for sure, but there was this sense that the love was still in my heart, and that kept you alive. And now this miracle. You and me getting to spend all this mother-daughter time together. It’s truly just this precious, precious gift that I would never take for granted.

Claire: I know what she took from me.

[ Claire sniffles ] But sometimes, I forget how much she took from you. Everything she ruined.

Victoria: She will never be able to take anything from us ever again.

[ Victoria exhales ] The past is gone and now the future is the only thing ahead of us. And I intend to enjoy and cherish every single minute of it. So, when you try to convince me that I need to go back to work, it’s not happening, all right?

Claire: Dad will be here.

Victoria: Huh? Oh, I know. I know he will.

Claire: You’re worried.

Victoria: No, I’m not. I’m not worried, I– cole’s just been– I don’t know, he’s been very preoccupied the last few days. It’s very unlike him.

Claire: Well, if you’re worried that it’s another woman, I doubt that very much.

Victoria: That thought never occurred to me until you said it just now.

[ Claire laughing ]

Claire: I’m just teasing you, mom. But I can tell by the look on your face that you’re hooked.

Victoria: I’m hooked?

Claire: Yeah, you’re hooked on dad. And stop feeding me that whole, “oh, it’s just strange stirred-up memories between exes.” ‘Cause I see the way that he looks at you too, and that is not just the look of an old friend.

Michael: My god. Victor, what have you done?

Cole: You see what I mean?

Michael: Unfortunately, I do, and I wish I could unsee it.

Cole: You’re not getting cold feet, are you?

Michael: About ever agreeing to be victor newman’s attorney again? Yes, absolutely. But where’s the prisoner?

Jordan: You abandoned me. So, why are you here? And why is the newman lawyer here, too?

[Coughing]

Victoria: You’re the daughter, okay? I am the mother. I should be the one asking you about your crushes.

Claire: Oh, so you’re allowing there’s a crush?

Victoria: Oh, my goodness. Would you please stop?

Claire: No, it’s actually– it’s too much fun making you blush.

Victoria: For you, maybe. Could we just go back to talking about your riding lessons or your future job prospects, the weather, anything but this, please?

Claire: Okay, well, all kidding aside, I promise that this isn’t coming from a place of a little girl wanting her parents to get back together, but I do see something happening between you and dad. Am I wrong?

Victoria: No, you’re not wrong. I do feel a growing connection to cole. But I have no idea where it’s going, all right? And neither one of us is in any hurry.

Claire: So, you’ve talked about it?

Victoria: Yes, we have.

Claire: That’s huge!

Victoria: However, right now, you are our main focus.

Claire: But I don’t wanna be. Hear me out. I appreciate that you both wanna help me adjust, but I want you to start focusing on yourselves. You’re right. Jordan is gone. Nikki is sober. It’s time for us to get back to our lives. And I do hope that life for you includes dad. It feels right.

[ Cell phone ringing ] Hi.

Kyle: Claire. Hi.

Claire: Hey, kyle.

Kyle: Sorry to bug you, but I have this kid here who insists on showing you a pretty cool ferris wheel.

Claire: Well, that’s adorable, and it sounds like a blast. I did hear that the carnival was coming to town.

Kyle: Great. We’ll see you in front of the ride.

Claire: Wait, sorry. Right now?

Kyle: You’ve met harrison. He’s very into instant gratification.

Claire: I would love to. And I would hate to disappoint harrison… but I don’t wanna cause any trouble.

Kyle: Not an issue. There’ll be no trouble at all. Plus, I have it on very good authority that today is the last day before the carnival moves on. So, can you make it?

[ Claire exhales ]

[ Claire chuckles ]

Summer: Oh, grandma, you don’t have to–

Nikki: No, summer, I don’t mind talking about it. I just got back from rehab. That’s why nicholas and summer were so thrilled to see me. My drinking had gotten out of control and it called for immediate action.

Phyllis: Well, that’s great. You took care of yourself. And you did right by your family, so I respect that. Congratulations. Welcome home.

Harrison: You think claire’s gonna come?

Kyle: She said she’d try.

Harrison: That ferris wheel’s so cool, dad. I’m sure she’s gonna love it.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Harrison: And we can win a goldfish, too.

Kyle: A goldfish? That’s a big responsibility, taking care of a goldfish.

Harrison: I can do it.

Kyle: Well, you’d have to name it.

Harrison: Sam.

Kyle: Oh, sam the fish.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: Hey, look who it is.

Claire: Where’s this special ride?

Harrison: Have you ever been on a ferris wheel before?

Claire: Uh, it would’ve been years and years ago.

Harrison: It’s really fun and not too scary. Except sometimes when they stop and they’re at the top.

Claire: That’s high up.

Harrison: It’s okay. Dad and me are here if you get too scared.

Kyle: Aw. Okay. Looks like we’re about to get going, guys. Hang on tight.

Harrison: I am.

Claire: So am I.

[ All laughing ]

[ Claire exhales shakily ]

[ Claire laughing ]

Kyle: Whoo! Getting a little high.

Claire: Whoo!

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Nikki: It seems like harrison is recovering from the nightmare. Oh, but it’s so hard on the mother. How is summer doing, really?

Nick: It has been hard on her. She’s still processing it. Um, there’s a lot of anger there.

Phyllis: Yeah, a psycho kidnapped her son. Of course there is. You know, she couldn’t eat, she couldn’t sleep, worrying about harrison. You know, we did our best to distract her and reassure her, but…

Nikki: Well, I’m sure you were a comfort to her.

Nick: It was rough, obviously, but I’m glad it turned out the way it did.

Nikki: Yeah, I could tell that she was putting up a front for me. I mean, of course she must still be reeling.

Nick: Yeah, there’s some residual rage there.

Nikki: Oh, I’m sure there is. Sometimes, it’s not until the crisis is over that those feelings are allowed to come up.

[ Nikki sighs ] I feel for summer. I really do. I mean, the worst thing in the world is to know that your child has suffered, or is still suffering.

Nick: It goes both ways, mom. Kids worry about their parents too. It’s a relief to see you like this.

Nikki: Thank you, sweetheart.

Phyllis: That’s really great, nikki. Hey, uh, can you tell me about claire?

Nick: Phyllis–

Phyllis: Just a conversation. Just a conversation, that’s all. Not attacking her. I just wanted to know about her because, um, well, obviously you were jordan’s target, right? But claire was your assistant, and then you find out that she’s your granddaughter, and you had the most contact with her, so… I mean, you would be the one to hold a grudge, but you’re not holding a grudge.

Nikki: I did have my doubts about claire. The whole family did. But we have all come around.

Phyllis: Okay. And, um, you know that residual rage that you were talking–

Nick: I was referring to jordan.

Phyllis: Okay, but we both know it’s not only her.

Nikki: I understand how summer feels given what happened to harrison, but claire is really a very sweet, caring person, and I see nothing but good things in her future. Now that jordan is out of our lives forever, I’m sure that summer will see that, too.

Kyle: Hold on, you two!

[ Laughter ]

Harrison: Mom, guess what? We rode the ferris wheel. It was so much fun. Claire got a little scared, but not too bad. And she laughed a lot.

Summer: It looks like you’ve been laughing a lot, too.

Claire: Uh, why don’t we look at those pictures that we took?

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Uh, yeah.

Kyle: Harrison had a minor freak-out about jordan earlier.

Summer: What do you mean? What happened?

Kyle: He thought he saw her. It wasn’t her, obviously.

Summer: But she’s still in his head.

Kyle: I know. I hate it, too. But look at him now. One ride on the ferris wheel with his pal, claire, and he’s doing great. Seeing her safe makes him happy for some reason. I mean, look at that grin.

Summer: Claire, thank you for being there for harrison.

Claire: We had fun. He’s a great kid.

Summer: We couldn’t agree more, obviously.

Claire: I hope it’s okay that I’m hanging out with him.

Summer: Yeah. I mean, harrison seems happy, and that’s the most important thing, right? Um, look… maybe you and I should get together later and– and talk about something more regular.

Claire: Really?

Summer: Yeah. I mean, harrison needs someone other than mom and dad around, and it’s time that we start getting back to normal. We can see how it goes.

Claire: I would love to do that.

Summer: Anybody that can make harrison smile like that deserves to be in his life more often.

Harrison: Hooray!

Cole: There’s a part of me that was ready to let you rot down here forever. But that’s not my call to make.

Jordan: That’s right. That’s right. Because you– you are a good and decent man, the best nephew… who didn’t let me free before, but you will now, won’t you?

Michael: You’re lucky this man has a conscience.

Jordan: And why are you here?

Michael: We’re taking you out of here and putting you in a real prison.

Jordan: Oh, thank god! Thank god. Thank god.

Victor: I’ll be damned if I allow that to happen.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Billy: Okay, so what do we do now?

Jill: Just keep this to yourself. I don’t want anyone else to know.

Alan: These, um, personalities, they think they’re doing the right thing, ashley. They think they’re protecting you. But the fact that they exist at all means that there’s something terribly wrong.

Ashley: Well, what are they protecting me from?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 he’s gonna give himself a migraine if he keeps that up. He obviously hates me, which is fine, ’cause I hate him. Good. He knows that I didn’t have any responsibility in neil’s death. That didn’t stop him. As a lawyer, you and I both know that sentence was over after the words “didn’t have any responsibility.” Nothing that man has said today bears any relevance on your case, nor is it factual. He’s completely unhinged. Okay. All rise. Hi, elizabeth. Hi. I’m so sorry to hear what happened. Finn called me and told me about gregory and that he wasn’t gonna be in today. I didn’t know him that well, but I knew him to be an incredibly decent man. Better than decent. One of the best. He handled his als diagnosis with phenomenal dignity. I felt ver y lucky to see himin his element yesterday, how proud he was of his family, and how much he clearly loved them. It was really beautiful. Yeah. It’s hard to fathom the wedding was just yesterday. Finn didn’t tell me very much. He just said that it happened suddenly? In his sleep. Oh. And sometimes when that happens, it can be very difficult for the family members who are left behind. More difficult than I could have imagined. I know about a lady who lived to be over 100. Yeah? I wonder if my dad could do that. Maybe. I wish grandpa could have. I wish he could have, too. But we know that was impossible because grandpa was sick. I searched up als. It’s easy to spell. It is. Brook lynn, I’m scared. Why, honey? Because I forget things all the time. I forget my times tables. I forget my eights. And even though I tell myself not to, what if I forget my grandpa? Not possible. How do you know? Because his hugs and smiles and funny stories — those aren’t things you can memorize for a test. The people that love us and that we love — that changes us. That love becomes a part of us, imprinted on our hearts. Like a tattoo? Exactly like that. Tattoos are forever. That’s why my daddy says I have to be sure if I want to get one, because they’ll stay. Just like your grandpa’s love for you. It’ll never go away. Look, I don’t want anyone telling me how to handle losing dad, so I’m not gonna turn around and judge you for how you’re dealing with it. This is gonna be one of the hardest days of our lives, especially for you. Chase, no. No, that you had to find him like that. I-I don’t know how you did it. I had no choice. Still. It’s not like it was my first dead body. It’s not a body, finn. It’s dad. It didn’t look like dad. You know, our dad’s eyes, they were kind and understanding, and his mouth — you know how curved up at the edges?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Like he was always ready to give a smile if anyone gave him half a reason to.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. That wasn’t the person that I found, bro.

[ Voice breaking ] It was… he didn’t smell like old spice anymore. And he was so cold to the touch. I mean… colder than you could ever imagine was possible. That wasn’t our dad. Our dad was warm. Yeah. One of warmest people I’ve ever met. Yeah.

[ Crying ] I don’t want this to be happening. I don’t want it to be happening. Neither do I, finn.

[ Crying ] Neither do I.

[ Humming ] Um, [Chuckles] How was the ride? Mm-mm!

Just what the doctor ordered, I mean, literally. I have to thank that dr. Randolph for telling me to get outside more. Sun on my face, wind in my hair — yummy. That’s — that’s — that’s great. I’m really glad. Um…I was told you’re needed up at the house, so don’t worry about the mount and the saddle. I’ll take care of that. Really? No one was up when I left. And if they’re up now, it’s ’cause they’re gossiping about the bensonhurst family members that I met at the wedding and thankfully have already forgotten. It sounded pretty important. Really? Who needs me? Chase. No, chase in brook lynn are on a plane to florence. They — they didn’t get on it. They — they couldn’T. Why not? Why not?! I’m sorry.


This must be hard for you, too. Gregory wasn’t simply a patient. You were practically a part of the family. Felt that way. So how’s finn holding up? He’s struggling. We all are. If you want to take the day off to go be with him — I’m pretty sure he doesn’t want me around right now. Well, that doesn’t sound like finn, [Chuckles] Especially under these circumstances. Positive. Honey, are you sure? Elizabeth, what’s going on? I am your friend, too, remember? You’re also the co-chief of staff. Gregory died? I’m sorry. I-I know I already said that, but I just… I don’t really know w-what to — to say. Um, here. Why don’t — why don’t you take a seat, and I’ll — I’ll get you a water. Here. Um… is there anything else I can do? I wish you’d seen… gregory at the wedding yesterday. Must have been proud. He was happy. How is it that that person no longer exists? I-I’m sorry. It sounds ridiculous. No, it… doesn’t sound ridiculous to me. We all knew it was coming. It’s just that… …this is so sudden. I don’t know. I-I feel like you can intellectually expect something and then still feel punched in the gut when it actually happens. I’m just — I’m sorry that you had to hear it from me. I’m not. I used to… try to imagine what gregory would have been like when he was young. And you know what? What? I imagine that he was a lot like you. Court is now back in session. Are you ready for this? I’ve done nothing but prepare and be ready for this. What more do you want me to do? What more do i want you to do? I want you to get mad at somebody other than yourself. And I want you to fight like hell, or just give it up and go home. At this point, I don’t care. But what I don’t want is even a hint of the wishy-washy, “oh, maybe I deserve this” nonsense.

[ Door opens ] I trust everyone had a productive recess. We’re ready to hear your final statements, starting with ms. Davis.

[ Exhales ] Your honors, if I may, I would like to return to my earlier points without them being obscured by opposing counsel, if that is at all possible. Yes, I lied under oath. But that perjured testimony was made in front of a medical board hearing and not a court of law. And why does that distinction matter? Because I wasn’t testifying as an attorney. I was testifying as a private citizen who was desperately trying to protect the career and the reputation of a man that I deeply cared about, a man that just so happened to be the late brother of opposing counsel fergus byrne.


I have handled everythingin the worst possible way. No, you haven’T. Yes, I have. What am I doing? Hmm? Hurting elizabeth, pushing her away? Being someone that you and violet can lean on? No, I have selfishly made this about me and that bottle. There is no right way to grieve. No, but there’s a wrong way. And that’s what I’ve done. You’re being too hard on yourself. You’d think after all this time, I would have been stronger. You are strong. You know, it’s not like we weren’t prepared. We’ve — we’ve known dad was… we’ve known he was dying for months. Yeah, but knowing it and experiencing it are two completely different things. I hurt him. I… I hurt him so many times, and now I’ve — I’ve gone and thrown away my sobriety, the — one of the things he was really proud of me for. No, now you’re just rewriting history. Did I or did I not ruin my relationship with dad? Did you rebuild? Did you? Landing in a place of understanding and trust and love? You did it with dad. You can do it with your sobriety. I need a favor, bro. Anything. Get rid of it. You know, I-I really am flattered that I remind you of gregory, but I gotta say I-I don’t see it. You both have a quiet, open way about you, unhurried, unworried.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, believe me, I worry plenty. Just good at hiding it? More like good at alleviating it.

[ Horse whinnies ] Or the horses are, rather. You know, I come here to the stables and I hang out with these guys, and I figure a world with them in it can’t be all bad. That is exactly what gregory would have said, except about his family. They are what grounded him and what gave him a reason to keep smiling. I’m happy he had ’em. Me, too. Want some more similarities? If you wanna share ’em. You don’t talk too much, and you don’t miss a thing. And you don’t push people around. You give people a lot of grace. That, my friend, is a gift. Heading back to the house? No. Not yet. Off to finn’s? Mnh-mnh. He needs time. Did you notice — did I leave some clothes in the tack room? Um, yes. I hung them up behind the towels so they wouldn’t get dusty. Thank you. Yeah. Um…if anybody asks, would you tell them that you, um… you told me the news? Of course. I really am sorry, tracy.

[ Voice breaking ] I really am sorry, too. Molly. Hi. Hey, I thought we were meeting downstairs. Oh, I couldn’t remember if that’s what we said, so I just came up in case you were waiting for me. What do you feel like for lunch? You pick. Actually, I picked last time. And you did such an amazing job of it. Bobbie’s? Bobbie’S. Bobbie’S. Molly. Hi. Uh, I’ve been trying to get ahold of your mom, and I keep getting her voicemail. To tell her about gregory? Tj let me know what happened. I’m so, so sorry. Thank you. It’s gonna be a really big loss for my mom. They were really close. It’s not every day you jump out of a plane with someone. Yeah, yeah. So, do you know where she is or how I can reach her? She and diane are in albany for a court of appeals hearing. Oh! Right. That’s why she couldn’t go to the wedding. How’s it going? I haven’t heard anything yet, but she should be home tomorrow. Do you want me to try to call her? No. That’s okay. I would like to talk to her myself, but thank you. Okay.


As soon asI learned that my brother neil figured into the complaint against ms. Davis, I recused myself from the medical review board. And was replaced by his partner of his law firm. Sounds like an inside job to me.

[ Sighs ] Something else that I think is very noteworthy is that ava jerome was the sister of my ex-husband. And I think that her credibility should be called into question because she had clear motive to have me disbarred. Which was? Retaliation for divorcing her brother. Ms. Jerome’s animus toward ms. Davis is irrelevant, your honor. I beg to differ. We’re going in circles here. Ms. Davis perjured herself, plain and simple. Which I already admitted. It’s where I perjured myself that’s relevant. What’s also relevant is that I was never informed of my disbarment hearing, or the fact that his law partner was sitting on that panel, or that ava jerome was involved. And had I known any of those things, I would have proceeded differently. It has become very clear to me, and I hope to you as well, that this disbarment is not about my wrongdoing, but about the personal vendetta of the jerome family and fergus byrne. What do you think’s happening at the hearing? I wish I knew. I hope it’s going well. Can you imagine? I mean, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that my mom comes home from albany and is able to practice law again. I certainly wouldn’t bet against alexis and diane. Whoo. Me neither. What about a little davis girls matchup? You mean if my mom and I went up against each other in court? Yeah, who do you think would win? That is a nightmare scenario that I do not even want to think about. You’d know all of her weak spots. Yeah, and she would know all of mine. Even so, I’d put my money on you. You have to say that. You’re my domestic partner. Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?

[ Both laugh ] How about…dp? Is that better? Dp. Ah… I could get used to that. I could get used to you. You better. Because I’m not going anywhere.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Sighs ] It’s a hard day. One of the hardest. If you’re looking for finn, he — no, I assume he’s home. He is. Actually, I was looking for, um, stella henry. You know where she is? Yeah, last I saw her, she was in the break room. Okay, thanks. And I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sorry for yours.

[ Sighs ] I heard about gregory.

[ Door closes ] Please don’t leave. Look, I was confused and honestly a little hurt that you didn’t want to talk to me. Am I wrong about our friendship? I — no. No. But what I would be talking to you about — it’s not my story to tell. Okay. Okay. Just know that you can trust me if you change your mind. I’m worried about you. I’m not the one you should be worried about. Now you’re scaring me.

[ Sighs ] Is someone in trouble? When I went to finn’s this morning… …he was drinking.


You have to understand that finn had just found his father’s body, and you even said how difficult it is when the death is sudden like that. There’s no warning. There’s no chance to say goodbye. Gregory was just gone, and finn was in shock and needed to hold on to something. And he grabbed the wrong thing. It’s all been… wrong. Yeah. Right. Portia… …don’t make me regretconfiding in you. Thank you. You and gregory were very close. I’m glad with the time we had together. But you wish you’d had more. So much more. Curtis and portia told me the wedding was magical.

[ Chuckles ] It was. Gregory officiated over the ceremony beautifully. It was so important to him. Mm. And chase in brook lynn, I’m sure. Did you hear anything else? About the wedding? No. About his… his cause of death. Well, from what I understand, it — it was in his sleep. No seizures, no paralysis? Not that I’m aware of. It sounded peaceful. What do you think it was? I’ve heard a few theories. Cardiac arrest. Pulmonary embolism. Both merciful outcomes for an als patient. I-I’m sure doctor kramer’s filed his death certificate. Do you want to see it? No, I do not. But do you think there’ll be an autopsy? No. There won’t be. Good. Family shouldn’t have to go through that. I agree. I-I wonder if you could do something for me. Name it. Okay, I know your job title is, uh, patient advocate, but I get the feeling you sort of run this place?

[ Laughs ] Don’t tell my supervisor. Okay, so if anything comes up, like medical bills or official notifications, anything that I can handle with my hands or my checkbook, would you let me know? Ah. Absolutely. So how are you spending the rest of your day off? I was thinking about going for a walk around the bluffs. That sounds great. But?

[ Laughs ] I mean, do I sound too much like a dad if I’d prefer you didn’t go alone? Well, seeing as you are about to be a dad, you should probably start sounding like one. Ask kristina. I did, actually, um, but she said yes, and — and that was a few days ago, and now she’s not answering my calls. Was that my fault? It’s what your fault? That there’s this rift between you and kristina. I wouldn’t call it a rift. I mean, we talked about going on a walk casually. I’m sure kristina didn’t even know it was, like, a plan plan. Oh, okay. Well, um… why didn’t you just say that from the start?

[ Chuckles ] Because you think the moment you mention kristina not being the paragon of perfection, I’ll jump on it. Right? Would I be wrong? Oh, I missed you. We weren’t even gone a whole hour. Still too long. You smell like toothpaste. Yeah? Did you have lunch yet? No. I was waiting for you. Does a grilled cheese sound good? With tomatoes like grandpa used to make it? You got it, kiddo. Why don’t you go wash your hands? I’ve made choices in my life that I wish that I hadn’t, but I paid for them. I don’t think that my personal life, as flawed as it may be, should have any bearing on my ability to practice law. I’m a good lawyer. And I have a track record to prove it. I’ve lost my career as a result of a personal vendetta, and I was never given a chance to speak my piece. So I’m speaking it now. Thank you for listening. Ms. Davis asks us for separation of her personal and professional lives. It’s ironic, don’t you think, since all of the mitigating factors she presented were personal? Get to the point, mr. Byrne. Ms. Davis asks us to rely on her ability as a lawyer, citing examples of her work in and out of the courtroom. And those examples are impressive, though decidedly cherry-picked. Before we start polishing her lawyer of the year trophy, let me point out a few details that she conveniently left out.


I think when it comes tomy sister, we’re both to blame. Don’t you think? I mean, you say something about kristina, I jump to her defense. I say something, it’s your turn. Well, I haven’t done much defending lately. I’ve been too busy second guessing her every move. I’m sorry, molly. You’ve been hesitant to bring up your own sister and that — that’s not right. I mean, I think it’s just easier to worry with kristina. What do you mean? I mean, it’s easier for us to doubt our surrogate because it’s my sister. Like, if it were andrea or another candidate, do you really think we’d be monitoring their bedtime and showing up with groceries? Or looking for parts of their family tree to chop off. Yeah. Doubtful. We’d just want them to be healthy and happy and living their lives. That’s what we should want for kristina, too.

[ Chuckles ] What? Oh, I’m just trying to picture how anyone else would react to our… inquiries. You mean you don’t think our surrogate would welcome me showing up on their doorstep with kale and yogurt? Greek yogurt. Full-fat. Obviously, our baby needs protein. Mm. Say that again. Protein. No.

[ Chuckles ] Our baby.

[ Chuckles ] We’re having a baby. I can’t wait. You’d really step up for gregory’s family like that? They have enough to negotiate. So if there is any issue with his literary works or his papers at the university, I’ll just take care of it and get them professionally stored. That could be a lot of work. I don’t mind. I have one more favor. Okay. As much as I will miss gregory immensely, it really is not my loss. And I want you to keep this just between the two of us. I don’t want my name all over it. Okay. I understand, and I will. But let me be very clear on something. It is your loss, tracy. Not yours alone, but it’s your loss. In my neighborhood, when someone is grieving, you bake them a casserole.

[ Laughs ] Oh. Nobody wants me baking a casserole.

[ Laughs ] The point is, these are extraordinary gestures. Stella, it’s what I can do. Yeah, a lot of people can do things, but they don’t have your heart, so they end up doing nothing. Gregory changed me. For the better, it would seem. Well, he expected a lot of me, and I don’t want to let him down. Not this soon anyway. What ms. Davis didn’t tell us is that she was suspended for a time for discouraging her client carlos rivera from taking a plea deal which would have afforded him a lighter sentence. That’s a curious choice… until it’s revealed that the man mr. Rivera would have been testifying against was none other than her husband at the time, julian jerome. And I assume mr. Rivera can testify to that. Unfortunately not, your honor. Before the case could come to trial, mr. Rivera was murdered by julian jerome. Perhaps ms. Davis’s plan all along. Objection! Objection! Prejudicial! My apologies. It’s just that it’s difficult to keep ms. Davis’s personal and professional life separate when the two are so entangled! I encourage you to try and avoid such wild speculation. Understood.

[ Scoffs ] Is it, though? In addition, my other brother, brendan, futilely attempted to hold ms. Davis accountable for my brother neil’s death, which tragically led to brendan’s death, as well. That is a wildly inaccurate statement… you want to accuse me of perjury? Meant to inflame the panel. That’s exactly what you’re doing right now. I said “led to.” Show me the lie. Oh, you know very well that I had nothing to do with either one of your brothers’ deaths. Do you truly think… order! …That my brother neil wouldn’t be alive today if he had never met you? Of course he would! And brendan would, too! Order in this court. You destroyed my family, alexis! And I’m here to make sure you never destroy anyone else’S. Order!

[ Bangs gavel ]


You have someplace to be? Not really, but I probably should head home. I have avoided my family long enough. Ah, what’s a few more minutes?

[ Laughs ] Yes.

[ Laughs ] Let’s schedule an mri. Mm-hmm. Dr. Park and I are gonna need copies of the results. Can you check on mr. Rand in 307? He was having back pain, and I just want to make sure it subsided. Okay. Okay, thank you. And please keep me updated on her condition. Thank you. Okay, I’m sorry I dumped all of that stuff on you earlier. I-I just come from his apartment, and we had gotten into it, and — elizabeth, it’s — it’s fine. Really. I, uh… I can’t really imagine what must be happening with the two of you right now. But I am glad that you trusted me as your friend. It’s all just really fresh, you know? I think that once the dust settles, then it’ll all go back to normal. And finn…

[ Quietly ] Finn having a drink was a complete aberration. He had a-a moment of weakness, and that’s all it was. It was a moment. Mm. You know, he has to take care of violet, and I know he’s going to pull himself together and be strong for her. And he has patients that are counting on him as well. Of course, and he would never put his patients in danger. You know that. Portia, you have to keep this a secret. Please. I know how important finn’s sobriety is to him. And I’m sure that this was a, uh… a one-time crisis. And it’s probably over already. Yes. Thank you. Um… I really needed to hear someone say that. I’m glad I could be the one to say it. Saved you the last bite. You are too good to me. I know. Mmm! So good. Can I play on my tablet for a little? Sure. But first, daddy needs a hug. I love you so much. Never, never forget that. I won’T. Brook lynn, I am so sorry. I’m so sorry you’re missing your honeymoon. No, no, no, no, no. Our family being together is the most important thing right now, okay? And I’m here for whatever you need — errands, um, food, laundry, babysitting. Consider me at your beck and call. Thank you. Of course. But right now, what I think I need is a meeting. I think that’s a great idea. Lying under oath is perjury, your honors. Yes, it took place at a medical board hearing. And, sure, some would argue that makes it less impactful. But the repercussions from that lie had enormous impact. Your honors, how many times [Chuckles] Will opposing counsel say exactly the same thing? Wrap it up, mr. Byrne. Ms. Davis’s lie set off a chain of events which led not only to the deaths of both my brothers, but removed ms. Davis from the state bar as well. She has demonstrated repeatedly that she has no regard for legal ethics. Nothing that happened can be undone, but that should include the disbarment of alexis davis. Thank you, mr. Byrne, ms. Miller, ms. Davis, for your statements. The court will communicate our decision within the next 30 days. Court is dismissed. You should be ashamed.

[ Door closes ] Well, I’ll say this for you — you swung for the fences. Oh my god. What is your n ame? Bi ll. I love you, bi ll. Bill, are you really doing t his?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Of course, he’s not.

Oh, hey. Good morning, handsome. Mom. And good morning, little handsome. You’re here early. Yeah, I had to come and get Judy this morning because Dad and Kate, they watched him for us last night. Oh, that’s nice. You know, John and I would love to do that, too, if you ever have a need. Of course, thank you. Listen, I hate to cut this short, but I really need to get this little guy home, if that’s all right.

Of course it is. Okay, wonderful. Hey, wait a minute. Take off your glasses. Take them off.

What happened to you? Everett Lynch happened. I got here as fast as I could. Where’s Eric? He’s, uh, he’s with Jude. Look, you have to help me before he gets back. Help you with what? What’s going on? Last night, EJ gave me 24 hours to tell Eric that Jude is Nicole’s. What? That’s not all. He wants me to lie to Eric and tell him that EJ is the father.

Eric loses everything. Oh my god, including you. And the first thing Eric will do is have you arrested. No. First thing he’s going to do is give the baby back to Nicole. EJ is banking on that. But the two of you had a deal. Yeah, well that was before EJ saw Nicole kissing, drunk kissing Eric last night. So he thinks that it’s going to take a baby to Samantha’s marriage now.

He’s that insecure? He understands. The bond that Eric and Nicole share, just as much as I do. There has to be a way to stop him, I mean Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, but Sloane, whatever you do, you have to promise me you will keep my name out of this. If, if EJ knows that I am involved in this, I will lose everything too.

Yes, keep me posted, I must, I must run. Oh, hey, there you are. Um, how are you doing? I’m fine. Me? It’s you I’m concerned about. I had no idea you were up. Oh, well. Hangovers end. Eventually. But you still haven’t told me how you’re doing. I’m fine. Why would you think otherwise? Well You haven’t seen this?

Mayor Price revealed via press release that she has relieved E. J. DiMera of his duties as district attorney. Effective immediately. E. J., honey, I, um, I’m so sorry.

We put in a call to get a comment from E. J. Yeah, no, we haven’t heard back yet. Um, look, I gotta get going. Stephanie just came in. Um, I’ll, yeah, no, I’ll, I’ll have her reach out. Okay, thanks. How’s the mayor? Ah, I think he got the article in this morning. Yeah, uh, online edition. Thanks for the scoop. Mm hmm.

Everett’s usually, uh, usually in by now. I haven’t heard from him. I doubt anyone’s heard from him, actually. Okay, I’ll just give him a call. Oh, don’t bother. I know where he is.

What do you mean you need more personal time, Harris? You’ve already used all your days, and we’re shorthanded as it is. Oh my God. Let me call you back. What is it? The assault arrest from last night at the small bar? It says here that the perp’s name is Robert Stein.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

So I ever just hit Eric in the face? Out of the blue? Well, yes and no. We were at the small bar, celebrating. Leo was with us. And we had a few shots of tequila by this point, but everything was fine. And then Sloane Peterson showed up and, uh, she, uh, put us all to shame, started knocking him back like you wouldn’t believe.

What was she celebrating? Well, she seemed pretty miserable, so I doubt she was celebrating anything. Anyway, Eric showed up and tried to get her out of there, but she wasn’t interested, to put it mildly. And next thing we knew, Everett was in the middle of it, and Dex, Eric. I, I only can assume that he thought he was a threat.

Eric. E Eric, the ex priest Eric. Yeah, that Eric. How long did it take the police to get involved? It was chaos by the time that they showed up. And, I felt bad because I couldn’t give a statement before they threw the cuffs on Everett and just took him away. Yeah, but why would you feel bad? Because they, they didn’t have to arrest him.

He was only trying to help. You sure about that?

So, Sloane was drunk. I wish she had a few, alright. And you were trying to get her to go home. Right. Everett thought I was manhandling her. Tried to help her out, apparently. So I see. Listen, Mom, Sloane is home right now waiting for me, so I, uh Oh, wait. Yes, yes, yes. Go, go, go. Go, sweetheart. Thank you. Oh. One more thing, just please.

Please be careful, okay? Okay.

You’d lose everything? Excuse me? Maybe you missed the news this morning, but Mayor Price fired EJ and gave me back my old job as DA and you and I both know that EJ will be out for blood if he even has a hint that I was involved in this. Look, I told him I took care of all the paperwork, the adoption paperwork, myself.

Thanks. If you can just help me think. I have something to get out of this sticky corner.

Girl, EJ’s got you beat.

I can’t believe you were fired, EJ. My God, why didn’t you tell me? I thought it could wait. You weren’t exactly in any condition to process the news last night. I wasn’t in any condition to do much of anything. But it’s all behind you, yes? Today is a new day, and yesterday is but a memory.

Yes. Yes, but a memory. But now that I know that you are going through something, I feel terrible that I wasn’t there for you. Well, I feel terrible that I wasn’t there for you after your fight with Holly. I feel if I was around, you wouldn’t have felt the need to drink yourself into a stupor, and Eric wouldn’t have felt the need to play the hero.

So he decks Eric, the cops show up, and then he gives him the name Robert Stein. Yeah, they booked him as Everett Lynch because that’s what his ID says. But it says here that he kept insisting that he was Robert Stein. I mean, granted, he’d been drinking, but still. The plot thickens.

You know, maybe Dr. Evans can help. I mean, she is his therapist. Shouldn’t hurt to follow.

This is Dr. Evans. Good morning, it’s Jada Hunter. Oh, hi. Is everything alright? I’m here at the station and we have one of your patients in custody. We were hoping that maybe you can come down and see him. Oh, uh, yes, I’ve got some free time right now. Who is the patient? Well, that’s a bit tough to answer.

It’s Everett Lynch, but he insisted that he was Robert Stein. I’m afraid your information is a little out of date. I’m no longer seeing him. Oh, right. You know, Stephanie didn’t mention that you discharged him. No, no, that’s not right. I he quit. Against my advice. Oh, I see. Um, well do you think that you can still come and see him anyway?

This isn’t something we run into often, and any help you can give us, we would much appreciate it.

Sure I do.

This is no time to give up, Melinda. I wouldn’t give up if I knew how to help you, but what the hell can I do, Melinda? I mean, EJ is holding all the cards. Okay. I just cannot let him take. Jude, I Not only is he taking my precious little baby boy, but I’d be losing Eric. Forever. Yeah, well, you may have no choice.

Don’t say that, Melinda. There has to be something we haven’t thought of, like some Hail Mary pass. I can throw it. Look, Eric and Jude, they’re my life. I can’t lose them. Melinda, you’re all I have. Help me be EJ. Please. Help me.

EJ, uh, I’m sorry that you weren’t the one to come get me, but Eric was hardly a hero. I didn’t show up for work, so he was concerned. Well, you’re feeling better today, I hope. About your fight with Holly? No. Not really. I keep going over it in my head and her telling me that my babies that I didn’t have are lucky that they died.

Lucky not to have a mother like me.

I mean, that’s the worst thing that she could ever have said to me. I’m so sorry, Nicole. So yeah, you know, trying to dull the pain in the booze, man, it worked. It worked while I was wasted. But my God, I feel plenty of it now. What are you saying? Do you think Ever got what’s coming to him? I mean, yeah, I think there tends to be consequences when you go around punching people in the face.

I get that. Chad, he was reacting to what he thought was physical abuse.

Okay. Look, I wasn’t there, so whatever. I’ll just stay out of it. No, you weren’t there. Anyway, he’s going to be getting released soon. I called down to the station to see what his status was, and because I paid his bail, he will be released soon. You paid his bail? Why would you pay his bail? Because I wanted to.

Look, I know that Everett isn’t your favorite person. But, just so you know, he and I have been getting along really well lately.

What? What’s that look? Look, Steph, I care about you, okay? And even though we’re not together anymore, this guy has violent tendencies and Whoa, he doesn’t. He doesn’t. He’s not violent, Chad. What happened last night was an aberration. Sloan was making a scene and he overreacted, but that wasn’t him. All right, then who was it?

Bobby?

Look, there were some strange circumstances. All right, well, you know what? Forget the extenuating circumstances. He used violence in a situation that absolutely didn’t need it. How do you explain that? Ooooooooooooooo

Yeah. Hey! Nice to, uh, nice to see you. You look good. Like, really good. It’s nice to see me too. A little bit. Just, uh, just a little bit. What is going on with you? With me? Right now? Uh, a lot. But having you show up here definitely, uh, made your upside to be in. Throw it in the bucket, you know what I’m saying?

That’s enough. What’s enough? Turn around. I was just telling her that she looks good, you know? What, you don’t think she looks good? Turn around. Step back. Turn around. Okay.

Is that really necessary, Rafe? You read the report, Jada. All right. Let’s go. Dr. Evans is with me. Wow. Thanks for sticking up for me. No

word? You know how things can get down there. But Lacey’s getting out. Hey.

So how are you feeling after all that tequila last night? Huh. I’m okay. I, uh, I had a few cups of coffee. Oh yeah? Was that your hangover cure? Steady as a rock. Works every time. That’s dicey.

What about you? What about me? You seem a little off. Yeah. Am I wrong? No, you’re not wrong. Very perceptive. You feel like talking about it?

Nicole found, uh, found something the other day. It was um, notes on a story that Abby was working on before she died. Apparently she was on to Clyde Wesson’s drug operation before anybody else was. And now it has me, you know, has my head spinning, making me, um, making me think that maybe her death wasn’t the accident we all thought it was.

That maybe she, uh, wasn’t collateral damage when we collided after Belle. That maybe, maybe she was the target all along. Wow. Yeah. And knowing you Knowing me what? You think that you could have done something, right? That if you’d only known that you could have protected her. Something like that. Well, I will only say what I know that the people who love you have been saying since Abby’s death, and that is, Chad, you never could have predicted what would have happened.

And beating yourself up about it, Abigail would not want that. You know she won’t. All A distraction, something positive.

Well, there is something. We, uh, finally moved back into the horn house with Doug and Julie. That fast? That’s amazing. Yeah, Doug and Julie are very happy. And, uh, I went to the room. You know, mine and Abby’s room at the DiMera house and, um, where everything happened.

Closure? Yeah, maybe.

But now that, uh, Now that we’re back at the, at the, the Horton house, Me and the kids, I’m, uh, more sure than ever that that’s where I’m supposed to be.

It’s the only place I feel close to her.

Okay. So. Let’s start with the easy stuff. Name? Are we really doing this again? I went over all of this with your cops last night. Uh, Robert Stein Bobby.

Okay, so why do you insist on us calling you Robert Stein? Because that’s my name. Isn’t that what you keep telling me? Oh, except for the fact that you were going by Everett. Am I interrupting? Dr. Evans, please, come in. Everett? Is that alright? Dr. Evans? What are you doing here? Scratch that. What am I doing here?

Jada?

What’s going on?

There you go.

I’m so sorry that you’re hurting, sweetheart. You’re welcome. But I know that in time, you and Holly will work things out. Oh, I don’t know. EJ, you didn’t hear her last night. Holly is a teenage girl. She’s strong willed, like her mother. She wanted to go to the prom, you said no, and so she lashed out. You have showered her with love.

When she was in that coma, you couldn’t be dragged away from her bedside. Yeah, and now I’m the one that’s keeping her from the guy she’s crazy about, so it’s a mixed bag. She will realize that in time, being kept away from Tate was in her best interests. You really think that? I have no doubt.

Nicole, you are the most amazing woman. I have ever known. You have battled to get where you are, but with that battle has made you a strong independent woman that Holly will learn to appreciate. And besides, any child would be lucky beyond measure to call you mother.

Thank you.

And I know that you will prove it again. I promise.

Sloane, promise me, promise that you will not take that little boy if you go on the run. I, I know you love him, but you just can’t do that. Don’t, don’t worry. I mean, maybe I can outrun the FBI, Exactly.

If I do what E. J. says, Maybe I get something out of it. If I admit that Jude’s Nicole’s. If I make Eric believe the lie that EJ’s the father. Uh, EJ helps me disappear. And you’ll be safe.

But, Eric would never know the truth. That he’s a father. Never. Unless No, Sloane, there is no unless. Well, sure there is. There I mean, I could just, I could just say to hell with it, you know? To hell with EJ and just Eric deserves to know the truth. Oh, come on! You, and you would double cross EJ? Sloane, use your head!

You cannot help Eric without screwing over EJ, meaning you’d be screwing yourself. Bottom line, you need to move and start your life over somewhere very far away, or Eric knows that he’s a daddy and your life is essentially over. That is the choice that you have to make.

Alright. First of all, how are you feeling? Um. Confused? I mean, last night, it’s a, it’s a blur. I have this massive headache. So, whatever this is, can we just get it done quickly? I’d really like to get out of here and start it on my hangover cure. Would you like some water? Thank you, but I’m, I’m fine there. I just, I’d like to go, but these things keep getting in the Why, why, why am I, why am I here?

Why am I here? For starters, what should I call you? Uh, my name? If it works, uh, we’re, we’re past Mr. Lynch, right? Do you, uh, remember going by Bobby? Or by Robert Stein. Ugh, this again. Um, no, I don’t. Why, why are you asking me this now?

Well, what’s even more important to me is to ask you why you attacked my son Eric.

Do you know why I had this photo printed up? It’s a lovely picture. It’s more than that. Look at Eric’s eyes. He is completely content. He’s more than content. He’s, he’s, He’s joyous. Because he’s, he has all he ever wanted. He, It finally all came together for him. All of it.

And when that was threatened, I paid good money to Leo to keep it that way. Sloane, I know all of that. Is that where I went wrong? You know, I Did I get involved with the blackmailing? Hey, hey, just take it easy on yourself, okay? You paid it because you were cornered. No. I paid it because I loved Eric. More than I’ve loved anybody in my whole life.

I didn’t want to lose him. I I still don’t want to lose him. I Eric! Let’s see if we have company. Yeah, I was um, I was in the neighborhood and I just couldn’t resist to say hello to my cat son. Hey there cutie pie. He was a little fussy when we left this morning, so it might not be a good time to visit.

Sure, of course, I’ll call first next time. In the meantime, I will get out of your hair. I’ll catch up next time, little guy. I’ll, um, let myself out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I guess it goes without saying.

We need to talk. Yes. Yes, we do.

You take such good care of me, EJ. Well, you’re my wife. My priority. Always. Yeah, but still. And you have your own headaches, and here I am making a scene, and you just lost your job. One that means a lot to you. I’ll survive. Still. EJ, I know you’re hiding your feelings for my sake, and please don’t. Now listen, that article didn’t say why Mayor Price fired you.

And she’s been unpredictable these days. So, if it’ll help. I could talk to Abe. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t want you fighting my battles for me, sweetheart. I’m Oh, oh, oh, nope. But you have hit on something. The mayor’s unpredictability. That’s all coming from her health issues and the ill advised stunt on Smith Island.

I have heard rumblings from our fellow citizens about the questionable Salem leadership.

And I feel that this latest questionable act could be the final straw, one that sparks real change. What are you talking about? I’m going to initiate a recall petition, collect enough votes that will force a new election, one that I would win handily. You want to become mayor? Haha. EJ, you were busy as D. A.

This’ll double your workload, at least. True leaders delegate. And I see myself more as a figurehead. The face of the city. Except when it comes to making the rules, of course.

I’m going to call Rita. Let her know what I’m thinking. Get the ball rolling on logistics. Okay. What? I, I mean, this, this is I’m going to call Rita. Just so fast. Abrupt, don’t you think? When you know what you want, why procrastinate? Acting fast is the best way to get the outcome you desire. Give me the latest.

Eric too? And Melinda left. So now it’s only Eric and Sloane in the building. And the baby too, of course. Finally. So the next person you should see leaving that building is Sloane herself on her way to me. Stay put, and let me know when that happens.

You don’t remember. I don’t. The last thing that I remember is I was, I was downing a, a, a shot. Right as Eric walked into the bar. And he, you know, he was trying to get through to his, his wife. She was um, she was drinking quite a lot. And um, he kept pressing. She ignored him. Um. Um, they were, they were, they were yelling, and, and then

And then?

And then everything went blank.

I’m sorry, I wish I could tell you more, but I, uh

Everett. I’m sorry. You know, we have a few pieces of information. We will just start putting those together. Got news for you, Lynch. Those are for the poster. Okay, then, uh, you get these off me. I’d like to go home.

Yes!

Charger go through? Mm hmm. Bail posted 20 minutes ago, so I should be hearing from Everett soon. Unless he just shows up here first. You think he’s gonna, you think he’s gonna come here after spending the night in jail? Oh, Everett’s a pro. He knows he has a job to do. Just like he knows, he owes Eric a serious apology, especially if they’re going to be working together.

Uh, look, can, um, can you do me a favor? I, uh, I just got off the phone with Julie, and, um, I have to go pick up Thomas from soccer practice. The dad that was supposed to do it can’t make it, and, uh, Julie’s got a doctor’s appointment. Oh, yeah. Sure, you want me to keep an eye on the joint till Everett rolls in?

Yeah, please do. And, um, have him call me when he gets in, will ya? Definitely. Okay. Thank you.

What happened with Rita? Oh, I think she’s secretly excited about working for the future mayor, though she is concerned about the extra workload, of course. Well, I’m sure she is. Hmm. And on that note, I’m gonna go to the office myself and let you start working on your new endeavor.

You are leaving. Well, uh, I didn’t get much done yesterday and God knows I could use the distraction, so I will see you later. No, don’t. Why not?

How’s that? You glad you want to talk? You know, one of the most important things is communication in the marriage. Yeah, for sure.

So is it me? I mean, have I done something to upset you? No, you? God, no. No, it’s What?

It’s time I tell you the truth. About Jude. What about our son? That’s the case. Not our son.

Everett, do you want to go back to my office and finish our conversation? Right now? Thank you, Dr. Evans, but it’s been a long day. Sergeant, the desk. Your stuff. So, what did he tell you? Did he remember hitting Eric? No. No. All he remembers is Eric trying to get Sloan to leave and go home. And after that, it’s all blank.

Could he have been so drunk he blacked it all out? No, I don’t think so. I don’t think drinking had anything to do with what happened last night. But I’ve got a pretty good idea of what’s going on with him.

I know you’re worried about me. But I think I’ll go stir crazy sitting around here with nothing to do. Well, there’s nothing to do. And then there’s nothing to do. Huh. Okay. And the distinction? Well, it’s not really nothing when we’re doing it together. Look, you’ve had a rough night. I’ve had a rough night.

So why don’t we just Have a relaxing healing day here. Hmm? No plans, just the two of us on this side of the door. What do you say? Doing nothing. Just being. Sounds tempting. Hmm. Actually, it sounds divine. I do love taking care of you, Nicole. And I love being taken care of. Uh, I know I’ve told you this before, but how I wish that I was the one who tracked you down and found you while you were trying to drown your sorrows and bring you back here instead of Eric.

But it’s the two of us now. Better? You have no idea how much. Sloane, sweetheart, listen, I know Jude isn’t ours biologically. And I know you’re still mourning the loss of our child, but Just, Eric, stop. Okay? Just stop. Stop. Jude is not ours. He’s not ours biologically or otherwise. Is that why Melinda was here?

I mean, is there something wrong with the adoption? No! No. No. Okay, then. What is it? I’m confused, Sloan. What? And I’m trying to tell you. I’m trying to tell you what I did. With Jude.

Sloan, you’ve had a lot to drink last night. Let me get you some water, okay? He’s Nicole and EJ’s. Nicole and EJ’s baby, he didn’t die. He’s very much alive. And he’s right there.

Jude is their child. I’m

straight to voicemail, again.

Everett, it’s Stephanie. And I’m starting to worry. Where are you?

So you know why Everett was acting so strangely? Why he attacked Eric completely unprovoked? Look, you both understand that I can’t give you any information based on, on prior psychiatric sessions that I’ve had with him. I can only give you insights that I’ve gained from, from right here during the interview.

In this room, because I am no longer his psychiatrist. Understood. And since I am not his psychiatrist, I, I’m not privy to his latest thoughts or feelings.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: Wow, guys, you crushed it. This is amazing. Hey, let’s admit, it’s a hell of a lot more fun planning a wedding than a memorial, right?

Waitress: That’s for sure.

Waiter: Oh, yeah.

Deacon: I want the day to be absolutely magical for sheila. Everything she wants. Well, I guess there’s one thing I can’t give her on her wedding

Sheila: It would just be so perfect to have you at our wedding. Deacon and I already talked about it. It– it’s gonna be simple, you know, maybe at the beach.

Finn: I just– I can’t be at your wedding.

Steffy: A lot on your mind?

Finn: Not really. Sheila and deacon are tying the knot today.

Steffy: Well, as long as she stays out of her lives, it shouldn’t concern us what they do. You need to focus on us, okay? Now, do you know where kelly’s coloring book went? She wants to color with beth. They wanna color unicorns today.

Finn: Um, I think it’s in her closet on the bottom shelf.

Steffy: Yeah, okay.

Brooke: I see, planning on attending the wedding.

Hope: I just want to support dad.

Brooke: You’re not supporting, you are enabling. And I don’t understand how deacon can ignore everything that sheila’s done. But you know better, honey.

Hope: I know who sheila is, mom. But me not gonna this wedding, it only hurts dad. And besides, he’s gonna marry her whether I go or not.

Brooke: So you’re okay with this? You can honestly stand there and watch your father pledge his life to that monster?

Sheila: It’s my wedding day.

Hope: Look, it’s not like I haven’t tried to convince dad to end his relationship to sheila. But he made his decision, and so I’ve made mine.

Brooke: Yes, to be sheila’s maid of honor. Hope. She has caused so much pain and terror in our lives for so long. How could you stand up for her?

Hope: Look, I just wanna be there for my dad. This is about supporting him, not welcoming sheila.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Okay, okay, I know, I know you’re not supposed to see the bride before the wedding. It’s bad luck and all that stuff.

Sheila: I don’t believe in bad luck. Not after everything this world has thrown at me. Besides, I always land on my feet, don’t I?

Deacon: Yeah, and all nine of your beautiful toes. Wow. Come here. Oh, man.

Sheila: No, careful though.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Because they’re still wet.

Deacon: Okay, all right.

Sheila: No, no, no. If you mess up my makeup, there’s gonna be hell to pay.

Deacon: Oh, promise? Damn, you look so beautiful.

Sheila: You know, you look incredibly handsome yourself.

Deacon: This– this old thing? I just had this lying around. I just thought I’d throw it on.

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Hey– hey, what’s the matter?

Sheila: Nothing, nothing.

Deacon: You’re thinking about finn. Wishing he could be here today.

Steffy: Okay, I think everything is set for when beth comes by. Kelly’s been looking forward to this all week.

Finn: Yeah, she has.

Steffy: Oh, and, uh, liam, he’s gonna stick around for a while. He wants to hang out with kelly too.

Finn: That’s– that’s fine.

Steffy: Okay, babe, I, um, I know you think you should be there today. You wanna believe that sheila’s changed, but she hasn’t changed. So for our safety, our children’s safety, we need to keep sheila out of our lives for good. Tell me you understand why you can’t attend sheila and deacon’s wedding today. Type 2 diabetes? sh of h

Hope: Look, I– I really need to get going, mom. I don’t wanna be late.

Brooke: Whether you’re at the wedding or not, your father knows he has your love and support.

Hope: And he wants his daughter to be there for him on one of the biggest days of his life. And so I’m going to give that to him.

Brooke: Okay, well, you’ll probably be the only one in attendance. I mean, who’s gonna go, right? Finn won’t be there. Steffy would be livid.

Hope: I do feel bad for him, though. I mean, it’s not his fault sheila carter just happens to be his birth mom. I mean, what, he’s just supposed to shut off every single emotion, every single feeling, or risk losing steffy. It just doesn’t seem fair.

Brooke: Honey, steffy has a family to protect.

Hope: Okay, I know, I know. I don’t– I don’t wanna get into this right now. I really do need to get going. Just know, I have heard you. I’ve heard all your concerns, mom. Today is about dad. I’m doing this for him. And only him.

Brooke: Just be careful.

Sheila: Finn’s not gonna be coming, and I’ve– I’ve accepted that.

Deacon: But it still makes you sad that he’s not gonna be here. I mean, he should be here, right? He should be here. All your friends should be here.

Sheila: My friends?

Deacon: Well, you know, I mean, if you had any. I’m speaking hypothetically, but they should be here. They should be helping you zhuzh your hair and do your makeup and all that sort of stuff.

Sheila: Baby, baby, I so appreciate your concern, but I– I have been dealing with the difficult things on my own my entire life. I got this. I can handle it.

Deacon: Listen to me, all of that is about to end, because in a very short amount of time, you’re gonna be my wife.

Sheila: Oh, god, I love the way that sounds.

Deacon: Good. Because today is gonna be absolutely magic. I know I promised you the beach.

Sheila: No, stop it. We– we talked about that, and this is– this is what we agreed on. This is where we fell in love.

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: I mean, your place, the restaurant, this is our home. I do have a question, though.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Who’s marrying us?

Deacon: Oh, just you wait. That’s a surprise.

Sheila: Okay, well, then go.

Deacon: All right, I’m going.

Sheila: Keep your secrets, and I’m gonna continue getting ready.

Deacon: You know where you’re going, though, right?

Sheila: I know where I’m going. Go.

Deacon: Right down stairs. If you get lost just call me.

Sheila: Would you just go? Go.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: Ah, today is going to be perfect. I just wish you could be here to share it with me, baby boy.

Finn: Yes, sweetheart, I get where you’re coming from. Right, my love and devotion and commitment, they are to you. Okay, and our family. You and the kids are all I’ve ever wanted. Hey, you are my world. All right?

Steffy: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Liam: Ho, ho, door was open. Figured you guys left it that way for us.

Steffy: Hi, beth.

Finn: Hey.

Beth: Hi.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness, you look so cute. Hi.

Finn: I hope you’re ready to color.

Steffy: Oh, yes.

Finn: Yes, kelly has been working on something for you in her room.

Steffy: Yes, she has been working all day. Why don’t you go see her? There you go. That’s for you.

Finn: Have fun.

Liam: Draw me something. Thank you for hosting.

Finn: Kelly can’t get enough of her little sister.

Steffy: Yeah, the kids being here, it’s gonna be a– a good distraction for us.

Liam: From what?

Steffy: Sheila and deacon’s wedding.

Liam: Ooh, that’s today?

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Liam: Uh, wow. Well, I know you’re not thrilled. How do you feel? Have any feelings about your mom and deacon tying the knot today?

[Coughing]

[ Deacon chuckling ]

Deacon: Toes. Today is gonna be magic.

Liam: Sorry, I’m not trying to put you on the spot.

Finn: Um, not that it’s any of your business, but I told sheila and deacon that i couldn’t attend the ceremony at the beach today, but I did wish them luck.

Liam: Ah, that’s good. That’S… deacon’s gonna need it.

Finn: Okay, um, I’m gonna go get the pizzas.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: I’ll be right back.

Steffy: Love you.

Finn: All right, I love you.

Liam: Came on too strong. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.

Steffy: No, no, no, no. It’s fine. We’ve all been on edge now that sheila’s back. But hey, at least finn won’t run into sheila at il giardino.

Tom: Wow, this is really a nice place, deacon. It’s fancy.

Deacon: Speaking of fancy, you’re looking pretty good yourself there, pal.

Tom: Thanks for the suit.

Deacon: Ah.

Tom: I guess I look a little different than the last time you saw me.

Deacon: I’ll tell you what, I’m never gonna forget that day in the alley when finn and I saw you. We gotta get over there right now.

Finn: Look, we don’t know what’s in that building.

Deacon: Sheila, sheila could be over there.

Finn: You’re sure you saw that woman go into the building?

Tom: Oh, absolutely. I never forget a face.

Deacon: I mean, you helped save her. That’s why it’s so important, it’s– it’s so special that you’re here with us today.

Tom: I appreciate that. Listen, I don’t get invited to diddly-squat these days. I mean, especially weddings. And especially weddings that have free food.

Deacon: Well, listen, the pleasure’s all mine, really. You were instrumental in making this happen. Um, will you excuse me for a second? Enjoy as many hors d’oeuvres as you want, okay?

Tom: Sure.

Deacon: Try the toes.

Deacon: You look absolutely beautiful.

Hope: And you look very handsome.

Deacon: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Deacon: The old man’s still got it, right?

Hope: Oh, yes, he certainly does.

Deacon: Listen, I can’t thank you enough for being here. It just– it means so much to me and sheila. And I know– I know that we put you on the spot asking you to be her maid of honor.

Hope: Ah, yeah, I’m going to be honest. Mom doesn’t really understand. And quite frankly, I’m not sure I really get it either. But dad, I can see how happy sheila makes you. And that’s all that matters to me.

Deacon: Come here. I am obsessed with olay’s retinol body wash.

[ Knock on door ]

Hope: Sheila, they’re, uh, ready to start the ceremony when you are.

Sheila: Hope, wait. I wanna thank you. I– I’d be a fool to think that this wasn’t difficult for you.

Hope: Well, sheila, you, uh, say that you’ve changed and that there is good in you. Now’s your chance to prove it. My dad is giving you his heart. So please don’t break it. Protect it and love it with everything you have.

Sheila: I will. I promise you I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that deacon is happy for the rest of our lives.

Steffy: So cute.

Liam: Girls are having such a good time.

Steffy: No, it’s the one thing to be sisters, but to be best friends like this…

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: It really warms my heart.

Liam: You okay?

Steffy: That’s a loaded question.

Liam: It’s a totally loaded question. Um, I know you’re worried about finn. He probably wants to be at that wedding deep down, so…

Steffy: Well, finn had a choice to make. And he chose his family. He understands that his connection to sheila is dangerous. Our– our safety, that’s his first priority. And he knows that he can have nothing to do with sheila.

[ Wedding march begins ]

Deacon: Sheila, this is tom. He’s gonna be officiating our wedding.

Sheila: Hello.

Tom: It’s my honor.

Deacon: No, the honor’s all ours. Believe me, we wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. You see, tom helped finn and me rescue you. He told us that you were in that abandoned warehouse. We never would’ve found you without tom.

Sheila: Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Thank you. Thank you so very much.

Tom: You’re welcome. Um, now, let’s get you two hitched.

Deacon: All right, let’s do it.

Tom: First, I’d like to welcome everyone. Well, it’s a small, intimate gathering, and there’s no shame in that. You know, I had the pleasure of speaking with deacon about your unique and unconventional relationship. And how a missing toe was responsible for saving your life, and thus making this day possible. And– and what a glorious day it is. I mean, we have deacon’s daughter, hope, standing up for you.

Waitress: Uh, sorry, sir, the dining area’s closed.

Finn: Oh, no, I just ordered a couple of pizzas.

Sheila: Finn, you came. You came to my wedding. Oh, no. Oh, gosh, you know, I’ve been– I have been thinking about you all morning, hoping that you would have a change of heart. And– and you did. And I am so, so happy that you’re here with me today. So thank you, son. Thank you so very much.

Victoria: You know, we should do this more often. You know, it’s fun. Family time, lunch, talk about the future.

Claire: Yes, yes and yes.

Victoria: And I couldn’t be more happy for you and excited. Pursuing a career in early childhood education. I mean, I can’t think of anything more perfect.

Claire: Except long rides on the property with my mom and little sister when she comes home.

Victoria: Yes, absolutely. And maybe we’ll even ask your dad and johnny to join us too.

Claire: Dad seemed kind of distracted at lunch, didn’t he?

Victoria: Hm. Yes, he did.

Claire: And it wasn’t just at lunch. Am I wrong or did things seem kind of tense between him and grandpa?

Victoria: No, you’re not wrong. And when I invited dad to lunch, cole seemed relieved that dad couldn’t make it. And I think dad felt the same way.

Claire: What do you think’s going on with those two?

Cole: No, thank you.

Jordan: That was all victor. That was victor. He set everything up. Okay? And he’s gonna keep me in here. You see, I’m his trophy. He comes down here to gloat at me in all my misery.

Michael: Cole!

Cole: Hey, michael. Yeah, thank you for making the time to see me.

Michael: I came as soon as I could. What’s this about?

Cole: There’s something that you and I need to discuss.

Michael: Of course.

Cole: But first, I need to hire you as my attorney. So, this is just between us.

Michael: Unless you’re in some sort of legal jeopardy, hiring me is overkill. I mean, at this point, I would hope that you trust me to be discreet.

Cole: I trust you completely. That’s why I called you. But I think that once you hear what I have to say, you might prefer that we make it official.

Jordan: There has to be something in here that I can use. Come on. Oh, god. Oh! Oh. Oh, look at you. Oh, my, my, my. Okay, my friend. Let’s see what we can do. All right? Let’s see what we can do ’cause I’ve gotta get out of here. I’ve gotta get out of here. I’ve gotta get out of here. Come on. Okay, come on. Come on, come on, come on. Let me get out of here. I wanna get out of here. I gotta get out of here fast. Right now. Let me get out, please. Let me get out.

Alan: So, if ashley experienced something traumatic after the breakup with tucker, but before she came home from paris, what do– what do you think it could be? I mean, did she mention any conflicts or issues? Anything specific, or?

Jack: Other than the blow up with tucker, nothing I can recall, no.

Traci: And tucker came straight back to genoa city after the fight.

Jack: I was concerned enough about that that I reached out to ashley. When she finally called me back, she told me about the fight, but we didn’t hear anything more until after she got home.

Alan: HM. So, there is some time unaccounted for.

Jack: Wait, you think it may have happened that much earlier? I thought I was talking to the ashley we love, and because of a trauma she experienced in paris, that was not ashley I was talking to.

Tucker: Hey, ashley, ashley. Whoa, hold on, hold on.

Ashley: Wait, wait, wait, get off me.

Tucker: I think I need to take you to the hospital.

Ashley: No.

Tucker: So, just relax.

Ashley: No, leave me alone. Please, just don’t touch me. I don’t need…

Tucker: No, I think you should stay seated.

Ashley: I don’t need to go to the hospital.

Tucker: Hold on.

Ashley: Don’t touch me.

Tucker: All right.

Ashley: What are we doing here?

If you have wet amd,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Tucker: Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ashley: Please, what are we doing here?

Tucker: You need to sit down.

Ashley: I don’t need to sit down.

Tucker: Yes, you do. You are not steady on your feet. See?

Ashley: Okay, okay.

Tucker: Let’s get you seated.

Ashley: All right, all right. What happened?

Tucker: You passed out. Fortunately, I was close enough to catch you.

Ashley: Please, you’re exaggerating things. I must have gotten a little bit dizzy. I– I need to get out of here.

Tucker: Wait, wait, wait.

Ashley: Don’t touch me. Please.

Tucker: Can you tell me what happened just before this?

Ashley: I don’t need to explain myself to you, tucker. Excuse me.

Tucker: No. I’m gonna take you home.

Ashley: Okay, look, you’re being ridiculous right now. I can take myself home.

Tucker: No, you can’T. You are not well and you don’t remember what happened.

Jack: Turning it over in my head, what ashley said, how she said it, were there any clues, any hints, in that phone call that suggested there might be a problem?

Alan: Well, there’s just no way you could’ve known. How could you know to look for personalities that ashley was creating to protect herself?

Traci: Okay, when ashley got home, she was very upset. She was furious with tucker, finished with him, but that was before we realized that it wasn’t quite so volatile at the bistro as we had thought.

Jack: But that is in keeping with who ashley is.

Traci: Yes, I think so. Yes. So maybe the traumatic event happened on the second trip. Ashley and I went back to paris, and that’s when she found out that things didn’t happen the way she remembered them at the bistro. She sent me back ahead of her after that trip.

Alan: And how did she seem then?

Jack: Agitated, furious at herself for having remembered things wrong. She was furious at tucker and then ready to forgive him.

Traci: Yes, and it was really extreme. And I think that might be when the mood swings started.

Jack: So, maybe the real trauma happened after her second visit to the bistro.

Alan: It’s a good working theory.

Traci: Oh, my. We left her there. To– to have ashley experience something so traumatic to cause all of this fragmentation. Oh, my god, alone in a strange country? This just breaks my heart. What can we do? How can we help her?

Alan: Well, I mean, it’s sort of up to ashley. She is able to surface at times and suppress whatever alter is in control.

Jack: Any time she has agreed to getting help, that’s when we’re dealing with the real ashley?

Alan: Precisely. That’s why it’s so important that we connect to the real ashley because she’s the only one who can tell us what trauma caused the d-I-D.

Traci: Okay, so if we can find the truth, then what next?

Michael: If it would ease your mind, give me a dollar. Consider me on retainer.

Cole: What do you know about where victor stands regarding jordan?

Michael: I only know that jordan fell to her apparent death when chased by victor’s security team, and she is mourned by no one.

Cole: She’s alive.

Michael: That wasn’t what I was hoping to hear. Have you seen her?

Cole: Yes. Victor is keeping her in a dungeon at the main house.

Michael: Damn, damn, damn, damn.

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Ashley: I really do not need you to insert yourself into my life. Please, please don’t, okay? I am capable of getting myself home.

Tucker: No, you are not capable. You just collapsed, ashley. You shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a car right now.

Ashley: I will take a ride share.

Tucker: No, you’re not taking a ride share. I’m taking you. You need to be home with your family.

Ashley: I don’t want you to tell me what I need, okay? Because what you need to do is– is find out where audra is, because she would not appreciate us being alone. I’m going.

Tucker: No, you’re not. Listen to me. You’re in trouble right now. And I think you know that. And you’re scared. I would be, too. It’s okay. And I know you don’t want to, but it’s also okay to ask for help. It’s not a weakness. It’s a strength to– to do what you need to do, despite your fear. That’s– that’s the definition of courage. Please. You need help. You need to be home with your family. And I’m taking you.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Okay. Oh, I got that. I got that.

Victoria: Apparently, cole told nick that he suspects that your grandfather is somehow involved in jordan’s death and that there’s more to it than we know.

Claire: That’s impossible, right?

Victoria: I don’t know. Nothing is impossible when it comes to victor newman. But when I asked cole about it, he just..

Claire: Deflected and found the right words?

Victoria: Yeah, something like that.

Claire: So, he thinks that grandpa had something to do with jordan’s death?

Victoria: Well, I wouldn’t go that far. But your dad, every time he tries to ask questions or find out more details about what happened with jordan, my dad just shuts him down. So, cole thinks that maybe he’s hiding something.

Claire: What do you think?

Jordan: Come on. Come on. Come on, little thing. Come on. Let’s go.

Victor: Look at that. You’re busy at work, I see. I wonder why it’s taken you this long to try to escape.

Jordan: Not my first try.

Victor: Well, you’re gonna have a lot of time to realize that trying to get the hell out of here is gonna be impossible. It’s futile, you know?

Jordan: You bastard. Let me out of here.

Victor: Why? You’re having a wonderful– look at all the brussels sprouts and the vodka. I mean, come on. What could be better? Huh? You had a visitor, didn’t you? Didn’t you?

Nikki: Victor? Are you home? Victor?

Jack: So, this dissociative identity disorder sounds… ashley, will come back from this, right?

Alan: It’s certainly possible, of course.

Jack: But?

Alan: Well, it’s– it’s rare, rarely diagnosed, very complex. The important thing to do is identify the trauma that created it.

Traci: And when that happens?

Alan: Well, once we deal with the underlying issues, hopefully the alters will subside.

Jack: But that won’t be the end of it, will it?

Alan: No. She’ll need therapy to deal with the aftermath, hopefully in a controlled setting.

Traci: It sounds like you are wanting to put her in a psychiatric hospital.

Alan: Well, hopefully ashley will make that decision herself.

Jack: She is not unfamiliar with that environment.

Traci: Considering our sister’s history, I don’t know if she would ever agree to go back to a place like fairview.

Alan: Well, first things first. We can make that decision later. And when we do, there’s plenty of good options. I know a lot of wonderful places in europe.

Traci: So, you think there’s hope?

Alan: Definitely. Of course, there’s hope. She has a loving family that supports her, and we will get her to the other side of this.

Jack: First, we have to find her.

Alan: Yeah. Well, that could be more difficult than before. Yesterday, uh, I upset ashley, or at least one of her alters, so she hasn’t contacted me since.

Traci: And I’ve reached out to her as well. Hasn’t got back to me either.

Alan: Well, if she does reach out, it will probably be to family first. So, please let me know if she does and I’ll let you know if she contacts me, all right?

Jack: Thank you, alan, for everything.

Traci: You have been so much help, thank you.

Alan: Of course, my pleasure.

Jack: What are you doing with my sister? Tide is busting laundry’s biggest myth…

Jack: Come on. Let’s get you inside.

Ashley: Alan, what are you doing here?

Traci: We asked him here. Ashley, are you all right? Can we do anything for you?

Ashley: No, I’m fine.

Tucker: She’s not fine.

Ashley: Okay, look, I got a little bit dizzy.

Tucker: No, she collapsed.

Traci: What?

Jack: When? Wait, what did you do?

Tucker: I didn’t do anything. We were at the jazz lounge. We were talking. She went to leave and fainted.

Ashley: Honestly, I don’t remember, so I don’t know if I actually fainted.

Tucker: I’m actually glad you’re here, alan, because I think it was a blackout. When she came to, she couldn’t remember anything that happened right before.

Jack: What were you doing with tucker, of all people?

Tucker: She wanted to talk to me. She took me down to the jazz lounge, uh… she tried to convince me that we still belong together. She did have one glass of wine, but mostly it was just telling me that we should give our relationship a second chance.

Jack: Ash, is that true?

Ashley: I don’t remember.

Tucker: And she was unsteady on her feet. Hardly said a word on the drive over here.

Jack: So what, that makes you the hero?

Tucker: No, jack, it makes me concerned.

Jack: Or maybe you’re trying to insinuate yourself back into her life.

Tucker: Can we not do this right now? She needs help. Ash, if you don’t wanna be honest with me, I understand, but it’s time that you’re honest with yourself and with your family.

Michael: Well, I asked him more than once if jordan’s dying in that fall was the truth. He swore it was and I was stupid enough to believe him. Victor’s usually so careful. How did you find out?

Cole: He’s been acting so secretive lately. Reportedly, he’s on the ranch, but he’s nowhere to be found. This has happened more than a few times. So, I just got curious. I just– I just confronted him with it, and I asked him, what’s going on?

Michael: I’m sure that went over well.

Cole: Yeah, he was pretty ticked. He ordered me out of the house and I just– I pretended to leave. I stuck around. I followed him. I waited. When he came out of the basement door, I was able to slip back in. And eventually, I found a prison cell that was– looked like some sort of an abandoned wine cellar.

Michael: Oh, victor, victor, victor.

Cole: She– she practically thought I was an hallucination. And then she– she begged me to get her out.

Michael: And did you?

Cole: Hell no.

Michael: Have you told anyone else about this?

Cole: No, no. I just need time to process it, you know? I– I completely understand what his motivation is. All right, he’s just trying to protect his family and– and– and punish jordan. I get it. But michael, this is no way to do it. To get down on her level like this, that’s not the answer. This can’t continue.

Michael: Oh, obviously not.

Cole: Jordan should be behind bars. Absolutely. But in a proper prison. Not personally incarcerated, tortured by victor. And the other thing is, I– I– I don’t want to get victor in trouble by me exposing this. That’s why I came to you. For advice.

Michael: Advice on how to take on victor newman.

Jordan: Who’s gonna come down here, huh? The world thinks I’m dead, thanks to you. Unless of course you’ve changed your mind and you wanna sell tickets to your own private zoo.

Victor: Good for you to keep a sense of humor because you’ll need it.

Jordan: Okay. Okay, I get it. I really get it. I understand, victor. You’ve won. You’ve won. You’ve reneged on our deal. You’re not gonna send me off to a federal prison, are you? So, let’s just get on with it. Bring me a vial of poison and I’ll be free.

Victor: Not gonna make it that easy for you.

Jordan: Even you must have some sort of decency.

Victor: I have no sense of decency or mercy when it comes to you.

Jordan: Then, just kill me.

Victor: Not as long as you are of use to me.

Jordan: Stop it. No more promises. No more hope. That’s the worst punishment of all.

Victor: Would you get on the floor and eat those brussels sprouts? I’ll get you another bottle of vodka.

Jordan: Victor! Victor! Come back here right now! Victor! Auntie, you can’t put that right in the dishwasher.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue… at the home depot, you can get up to $500 off

Victoria: I am just relieved that jordan is out of our lives for good.

Claire: To wake up and not be afraid is the best feeling in the world. Next to being part of this family.

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Mom!

Nikki: Hi!

Victoria: You’re home!

Nikki: Oh, I’m so happy to see you, my darling.

Claire: Welcome back.

Nikki: It’s great to be home.

Victoria: Mom, we weren’t expecting you for a couple of weeks. Is everything all right?

Nikki: I didn’t break out from rehab, if that’s what you’re thinking. No, my counselors and the medical staff felt I had been doing so well that I could go home and continue my work from here.

Victoria: How do you feel?

Nikki: Great. I feel so strong. Although in the beginning, i didn’t know that I could do it. You know, the first few days, detox, were really rough, but failure is not an option when all you wanna do in the whole world is go home and be with your family. But once I committed to it, I got such a sense of freedom from the alcohol, from jordan, and a sense of excitement to get back to this wonderful life we live.

Victoria: Well, we are all feeling the excitement of a jordan-free world. We’re finally feeling safe again.

Claire: Grandpa must be beyond excited that you’re home.

Nikki: I haven’t seen him yet. Do you know where he is? I asked the staff, and they said he hasn’t left the ranch. He wasn’t at the main house or the stables. I just can’t wait to surprise him.

Cole: So how are we gonna get jordan out of that cage, get her into prison, without victor facing any charges?

Michael: The legal ramifications for him would be enormous if it were to get out that he kept jordan under private lock and key. Why does that man always have to play god? Even if we were able to secretly get jordan out, arrange for her to be arrested and put in prison, what’s to stop her from talking to anyone who would listen and telling them that she was incarcerated and tortured by victor?

Cole: Well, ’cause she is seeing rats and– and spiders that aren’t there. She– he barely even recognized me at first. And one other thing, you know, that along with her history, I doubt that anybody’s gonna believe a word that comes out of her mouth.

Michael: One could only hope.

Cole: Any ideas?

Michael: Victor’s stubborn. He would never listen to reason and agree to let us put jordan into a real prison. So, you and I have to do the dirty work. Get her out of that damn cage into a legitimate cell.

Cole: Without victor knowing.

Victor: Nikki, are you home?

Tucker: Ashley. Ashley. Talk to them. You’re safe here. Everyone in this room wants to help you.

Ashley: I don’t know what I can possibly say because I– I don’t– I don’t know. I– I assume that tucker’s telling the truth and… but I don’t remember having the conversation and I– I don’t remember seeking you out and I– I don’t remember having any wine.

Traci: Well, tell me what the last thing you do remember is.

Ashley: I’m afraid. I’m afraid to even ask you what day it is.

Tucker: Uh, for what it’s worth, I think this is… she’s herself right now.

Alan: Well, I would like, uh, to talk to ashley alone. If that’s all right with you, ashley.

Ashley: Yeah, I don’t know what’s happening. Can you help me?

Alan: I’m gonna do everything I can.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Thank you. She’s in good hands now.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: But tucker, thank you so much for being concerned about me and for knowing that I needed to be with my family.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: Take care. Hi, I’m eileen.

Jack: Is there anything you want to say that you couldn’t in front of tucker?

Ashley: I– I don’t remember anything, jack. How can I– how can I comment on something I don’t remember?

Jack: Okay, okay.

Ashley: I just have a lot of different pieces, and I don’t know. Nothing is coming together for me.

Traci: Okay, it’s okay. We’re just so grateful that you’re home and you’re safe and we can take care of you. Oh, my god, we were so worried.

Ashley: I’m sorry. I’m sorry if I hurt you. I’m so sorry. I know you just wanna take care of me. I know how much you love me.

Jack: That is never going to change.

Alan: How about we have that talk, uh, now, hm?

Ashley: Okay?

Traci: Okay. Jack, shall we…

Jack: Yeah.

Alan: Hey. So, you’ve been through a lot, huh? How you feeling?

Ashley: Really confused. And everything is kind of foggy. Well, let’s– let’s try to break it down. Do you remember a thing specific, uh, happening maybe with someone or…

Ms. Abbott: You’re weak. These people don’t wanna help you. They wanna control you. I wanna set you free. I’m the only one who can keep you safe.

Ashley: Just stop it! God.

Alan: You weren’t talking to me just then, were you?

Jack: Ashley is home. That is the first step.

Traci: Jack, she’s so frightened. I have never seen her so unsure of herself.

Jack: At least we have the ashley we think is the real ashley and she’s ready to get the help she needs.

Traci: I was– I was really afraid she was gonna take off and we would never see her again. And jack, we have tucker to thank for that.

Jack: No. I am not about to thank tucker mccall. He may have done the right thing this time, but as far as ashley’s issues are concerned, I’m not convinced he’s not to blame, at least in part. Every one of these events have involved his presence. No, that’s not just coincidence.

Traci: Okay, okay, I don’t know what to think.

Jack: As far as I’m concerned, she is better off if she never sees that man again.

Tucker: Thank you.

Ashley: I know what I have to do now.

Tucker: Which is?

Ashley: To protect myself. Oh, congratulations, ’cause your gaslighting was, you know, somewhat effective, because my– my own family is now doubting me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. You got a lot of pain coming your way, buddy. You got so much pain coming at you. But don’t blame me. You look in the mirror. I ruined everything. And I deeply regret it. But it will never happen again.

Tucker: Hm. And I should just believe you.

Victoria: I don’t know where dad is. It seems like since you left, he’s been going for a lot of long walks.

Claire: He’s missed you so much. We all have.

Nikki: I’ve missed all of you as well. And now that I’m home, I feel like I never wanna leave again, at least not for a while. So, tell me everything. What have I missed?

Claire: Um… I’m finally ready to start horseback riding lessons. I’m pretty excited. Scared, but mostly excited.

Nikki: Ah, spoken like a true newman.

Victoria: I predict that she’s going to be a natural.

Nikki: Well, I wouldn’t expect any less.

Claire: I hope. And if it’s not too much to ask, maybe I could take some lessons from you too.

Nikki: I would love that.

Victoria: Wait until she makes you post around the arena for hours and hours.

Claire: Oh, should I be more afraid?

Nikki: No. No, we have nothing to be afraid of ever again. So, what else has been going on?

Victoria: Nothing, mom. I mean, all is well. I’m just really happy that you’re home.

Cole: Victor will explode when he finds out that we went behind his back.

Michael: We must be out of our minds. But I don’t see an alternative. We’ve gotta get jordan out of there. For victor’s sake.

Cole: Absolutely. That’s why I knew you were the right person for this.

Michael: Unfortunately, I’ve had a little too much experience with this type of vigilante justice and it never ends well. I don’t know what victor was thinking. Not that I don’t have sympathy, given the number of times the authorities have let jordan slip between their fingers,but it was an incredibly… ill-conceived move on victor’s part.

Cole: So, let’s put an end to it before anybody else gets hurt, including victor. After the hell that jordan has put this family through, no one else should suffer for what she set in motion.

Michael: So, all we have to do is get jordan into a real prison and keep victor out of an orange jumpsuit. The only question is how.

Cole: Well, I think I might have an idea. You didn’t live this strong,

Victoria: Mom, can I offer you some tea or something?

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Victoria, are you home?

Nikki: Well, hello.

Victor: Oh, my. Come here, my baby. Close the door. Let me look at you. My god, you’re beautiful. You look strong, you look rested. Come here. So, you didn’t leave that place too soon, did you?

Nikki: I couldn’t stay away another second. But I’ve made such good progress. My therapist recommended me for outpatient care. I mean, I still have a lot of work to do, but I’ve never felt stronger or more committed to my sobriety. And now that we are free of jordan forever, nothing can threaten my recovery. I love you.

Jordan: There’s gotta be some way to get out of here somehow. And I’m gonna find it. I’m gonna find it. And when I find it, I’m coming after you, victor newman, and your whole damn family.

Tucker: Hey, jean-jacques, mon ami. What’s happening, brother? Will I be attending any of the meetings this week with audra? Is audra in paris?

Traci: Ashley has come to this point before where she was willing to get help and then backed out at the last minute. But somehow, this time, jack, I really feel like it’s different.

Jack: Yeah, we can only hope that she’s ready to take the steps to make herself healthy again.

Traci: Yeah, that’s all I want for her. I think about when she finds out what she may be facing, if this is d-I-d, this is gonna be so overwhelming for her.

Jack: She’s always in control. That’s who she is. She thrives on it. To find out she’s not in control of her actions, her mind, I don’t know how she’s gonna cope with that.

Traci: I know, I know. She’s worked so hard to overcome mental health issues in the past. When she finds out that she may have to go back into some kind of a facility, this is gonna bring back all kinds of memories of fairview, and it’s gonna add to all the emotional baggage she’s already carrying around.

Jack: Wherever this leads her, she will have our love and support.

Traci: Of course, she will. And do you know what gives me hope, jack? That the ashley that came home today, that’s sitting in our house right now, that is our sister.

Jack: Oh, I pray to god you’re right.

Alan: Who were you talking to just now, ashley?

Ashley: I don’t know. Oh, god, could you please help me? I don’t know what’s happening to me.

Alan: Well, I think we are dealing with several personas here.

Ashley: What does that mean, personas?

Alan: Have you ever heard of, uh, d-I-d, dissociative identity disorder?

Ashley: Yeah, I’ve heard of it.

Alan: Yeah, it’s rare, and it presents in a number of ways, but in this case, we’re looking at multiple, distinct personalities. Identities that can control your behavior, and usually this is the result of some kind of severe trauma.

Ashley: That can’t be what’s happening to me.

Alan: Well, another symptom of d-I-d is memory loss, which you’ve admitted to. And your family, and tucker and I have seen you forget memories from your past from your own history. And we’ve all met these personalities that are very different from the ashley we all know.

Ashley: But you said it was because of trauma. I don’t like, I haven’t experienced any trauma. I mean, not recently. Not that it would’ve triggered something like this.

Alan: Unfortunately, I– i think you may be blocking it.

Ashley: When would this have happened?

Alan: Well, right now, looking at the timeline, we are thinking paris.

Ashley: The argument I had with tucker? I mean, that doesn’t make any sense. It was upsetting, but it wasn’t anything that would’ve made this happen to me.

Alan: Well, there are ways of exploring this.

Ashley: No. No, you’re not gonna talk– you’re not talking about putting me away, are you? I won’t go. I won’t go.

Alan: Ashley, you need to be in a safe place where you can get good treatment. Now, I promise you, I will be there all the time, making sure you get the best of care. The important thing right now is to uncover the incident that caused this trauma, and once we have, we can begin to address it.

Ashley: How am I supposed to remember this? I mean, how– how do I remember this, whatever you think has happened to me?

Alan: Well, I’m thinking maybe you could come back to paris with me and we could explore these memories together, and hopefully, maybe, find the truth.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

oh! Thank you so much for coming, carly. Please. Yeah, well, I would say you’re welcome, but I don’t really feel like I was asked, more like I was summoned. Gosh. I-I do apologize for that. Please. No, wait. I’m gonna save us some time. I have no idea what’s going on with sonny. I really — I don’t talk to him much anymore. And when I do, we’re barely civil. Oh, no, I didn’t ask you here to talk about sonny. Hallelujah. I never thought I’d live to see the day. A friend of yours is in hospital. Who? Jack brennan. He was admitted to gh last night. What happened? Is he okay? He was stabbed in the abdomen. But no major organs were hurt. Well, thank god. Yes, god could be one explanation. Maybe brennan was visited by a miracle. Or he stabbed himself. Kristina is in her third trimester now, right? So — so, sonny, trust me when I tell you that your daughter is now in, um, a swirl of emotions, and all of them heightened. It’s not her fault. No, it’s not her fault. Right. But right now, kristina is more than capable of taking something she saw and blowing it way out of proportion. I know that’s not an easy offer to make, kristina, and I do appreciate it. It’s the right thing to do. I’m not sure what I’m gonna do yet. Of course. Uh, I’M… I’m just so sorry, dex, for all of it, not just the attack, but you have saved my dad so many times. And you have proved your loyalty to him. You — you — you did not deserve this. As the court already knows, I was disbarred for committing perjury, but — there you go, your honors. Now she’s a confessed liar. Case closed. Your honors, if mr. Byrne refuses to restrain himself, perhaps we should adjourn until we can find someone more dispassionate to substitute. Justice caldwell: Mr. Byrne? Will that be necessary? No, your honors. Apologies. Your mother said you needed me. What can I do? Oh, sweetheart. I’m so sorry about the honeymoon. We can reschedule it when you’re ready. I don’t care about that. Chase just lost his dad, and he’s completely heartbroken. And my dad is still here. And I just want him to know how very much I love him. I love you, too. I love you, too. I know you’re in pain and you’re grieving, but I care about you way too much to just let you throw away your sobriety. You’ve already lost so much. So, what you’re saying is, put away the bourbon for your sake. I’m saying the bourbon isn’t helping you. And whatever you do next, you got to do it for you. And that little girl in her bedroom who just lost her grandfather.


Kristina saw jason grab me like I was a crazy person that needed to be held back. That’s what scared her. And it wouldn’t help that the person she saw grabbing you was once your best friend. I don’t need friends. Not anymore. Take care of yourself, kristina. You and the baby. He’s right, you know.

[ Sighs ] Hey. You didn’t do anything wrong. The problem is I did. In my own way, I’m — I’m just as guilty. It is true that I was under oath when I denied having sexual relations with dr. Neil byrne, but that oath was administered in a medical board hearing, not in a court of law. A distinction without a difference, your honor. Oh, it’s a big difference. If you ever ended up in a lawyer’s office when you should have seen a doctor.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not in charge of my sobriety. I am. You’re right. You are. And it’s been me and that little girl every day since her mom walked out on us five years ago. Just the two of us. So you don’t get to walk in here now and tell me if I can have a drink or tell me what’s really important to violet. Oh, no, no, no. No. We care about each other’s children, and I’m just looking out for her, like you look out for my boys. You are welcome to look after violet. You can stay here and you can make friendship bracelets with her. Or you can leave. Those are the two choices. You decide. Please, just — just hear me out. Alright, so, if you stab yourself… uh-huh. …Yes, it’s gonna hurt for a minute, but you take care not to hit anything critical. And then you still get an acceptable loss of blood. And then before you know it, you’re out of prison, in the back of an ambulance, on your way to gh for a few days. I mean, it’s not the worst plan in the world, right? Right. I mean, when you put it like that, I’m surprised more inmates aren’t stabbing themselves. Just to clarify, brennan neither confirmed or denied that the wound was self-inflicted. He did say, however, that if he had stabbed himself, it would give him a chance to see you again.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Elizabeth? Chase. Hi. Uh, I know that you — you’ve got a lot going on right now, but your brother needs you. And so does violet. Are you okay? Uh, no. Are you with them? I was. But I’m not who they need right now. You are.


So, I didn’t realizethat you and jack were so close. Oh, I barely know jack brennan. Okay. And we certainly don’t have a “stab myself to see you” kind of relationship. But you did visit him in prison. Anna, jack brennan has very little, if anything, to do with me. Are we done here? Because I have a lot going on in my life without this. Okay, carly, you seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere. I trust that it is not to see brennan. Right?

[ Door opens and closes ] I was notified that I was accused of perjury by affidavit. I never even saw the actual document itself. And instead the bar association met without my being present. And it just so happens that mr. Byrne was a member of that panel. Mr. Byrne? It’s true, your honor. I was a member of that panel. But when mrs. Davis’s case came up for adjudication, I recused myself. And his place was taken by his law partner. He has an impeccable reputation. How dare you impugn his integrity? I did not impugn his integrity. I would hope not. Unlike you, he has a sterling reputation. And now you’re impugning my reputation. Your honors, I — I’m sorry, but I, for one, don’t need to listen to mr. Byrne wax poetic about his law partner’s curriculum vitae. I’m assuming he’s brilliant. Otherwise, mr. Byrne would not have offered him employment in the first place. I agree. Let’s move on. I would love to. That is, if it’s alright with mr. Byrne. Simply put, I don’t think that I was given a fair hearing. Not that mr. Byrne’s friend — excuse me — law partner had anything to do with it, but I didn’t even know the name of my accuser. Mr. Byrne? I submitted the accusation. And? Ms. Davis never requested the name of her accuser.

[ Scoffs ] Well, I’m requesting it now. What are you doing? Putting something together to feed people. Why? What people? People we know. You know, they might want to gather here today. Besides, we have a guest coming, in brook lynn and chase are here. Brook lynn and chase are gone. What did you do to make them leave? Nothing. Brook lynn wanted to see me, and I thought it was about the honeymoon. I told her that we could reschedule it, but it wasn’T. She just wanted me to know how much she loved me. Of course I told her how much I loved her. That sounds like brook lynn. Where did she and chase go? Chase got a call from elizabeth. Said he had to go over to finn’s, like, now. Oh. Okay. Well, I’m glad she went with him. They’re each other’s family now, you know? And brook lynn more than chase, will tell us what’s going on later. Chase looked really upset. I mean, he didn’t say what the call was about, but… he was worried.

[ Sighs ] You know, every couple gets tested, right? But these two — they’re just right out of the gate. What more can the universe throw at them right now? I finished the friendship bracelet. Oh! I think it looks pretty good. Yeah, look at that. Let me see. Where did elizabeth go?

[ Sighs ] This is amazing, sweetheart. And aunt elizabeth — I think, um — I think something came up at the hospital. But, you know, you can — you can give her this bracelet later. It’s not for her. It’s for aiden. Yeah. Aiden. That’s what I meant.

[ Knock on door ] Hey. Oh! Chase: I’m so sorry, bro. I’m so sorry. Oh, that’s gorgeous. Thank you. I made it for aiden. He’s a lucky guy.

[ Door closes ] Part of me was hoping you’d get on that plane and you’d fly to italy and when you came back, everything would be the same, but…[Sighs] Nothing’s ever gonna be the same. The important thing is that we’re here now, together.


Sonny, kristina’s gonna come around. She justst needs a minute to realize that you’re the same dad that she’s always known and loved and adored. Yeah, yeah. There’s something else weighing on you, isn’t there? My sons. They’ve turned on me. Sons, plural? I know where things stand with michael, but dante — he’s a cop. And that comes first. I just thought maybe it would be different. Oh. Well, it’s just terrible that dex turned out to be the traitor that he is and that kristina misinterpreted your actions. But, really, it’s jason’s fault, isn’t it… yeah, yeah, yeah. …When it comes down to it for butting in and making the situation much worse. Yeah, you got that right.

[ Knock on door ] I’m gonna tell whoever that is to go away. Yeah, yeah. ‘Cause, sonny, you deserve some peace.

[ Knock on door ] Come in.

[ Door opens ] Oh, my god, dex. What happened?

[ Door closes ] Before I answer that, can we talk off the record? Yeah. I could just really use some advice, just person to person, and i didn’t know who else to ask. Of course. Sit down. What — what do you need? Do you need anything? No. No. Thank you. I’ve already been to the emergency room. What happened? Between the wedding and now, what the hell happened? Sonny. After you left. Jason stepped in and put a stop to it, but not before kristina saw the whole thing. Hey! Have you seen your mom? Not for a while. Why? ‘Cause she and gregory were close. I think you need to check on her. She’s got to be hurting. Yeah. I’ll, uh — I’ll talk to her later. I mean, uh, I’ll just give her some time to deal with it in her own way. She’s not big on emotional displays. Tracy’s got a lot of feelings, and they run very deep. Maybe you haven’t noticed them because of elq and how you guys squabble and eddie maine, but… I think tracy had real feelings for gregory. Like, romantic feelings? Yeah. Maybe. But he was sick when she met him. So what? I thought all they did was argue. I mean, I know that he would push back whenever she said something. And when it came to the wedding prep and rehearsal dinner, I know he flat out told her that she had to be nice. And she was. She was very nice and very generous. She didn’t snark at anybody.

[ Chuckles ] I kind of missed it. And you know how much she respects people who stand up to her. Some people. And those people are the people that she cares about and has feelings for. You’re right. I didn’t see it. I’m a terrible son. No. No, of course you’re not, ned. Come on. If there’s anything we’ve learned in the last 24 hours, it’s, whether you’re a parent or a child, there’s an invisible clock ticking. We just got to be better to each other. Violet, sweetie, how do you feel about going for a walk? I know how I feel about it. I think it’s a great idea. Gives your dad and I a chance to talk about some grown-up stuff. You know what grown-up means, right? Boring? Exactly. Is it okay with you? It’s okay by me, sweetheart, if it’s okay with you. Let’s go. Violet? I’m gonna be right here when you get back. Love you, dad. I love you, sweetheart. Let’s go, sweetie.

[ Door closes ] Hey.

[ Exhales heavily ] You okay? You need anything? I just want to know what happened, step by step. And, finn… I mean everything that happened.


Surely your honors can see that ms. Davis is attempting to turn this hearing into a personal vendetta. You’re the one who tried to avenge your brother by getting me disbarred. So I think vendettas might be your area of expertise. I didn’t need to do anything, counselor. If there was any damage done, it was self-inflicted. I have made my share of mistakes, but I’ve taken responsibility for them. And I’m taking responsibility for them right here and right now. You, on the other hand, let other people do your dirty work for you. I have a right to face my accuser.

[ Chuckles ] Apparently, my colleague can’t tell the difference between an appeals hearing and a criminal trial.

[ Gasps ] This — your — your honor — he says this hearing is about justice, not a vendetta. So let’s let him prove that by telling me the name of my accuser, please. Hi, carly. Hi. Uh, I appreciate you running over here, but as you can see, I’m absolutely fine. Can we talk in private? Well, ava knows everything. You can talk about it here. Does she? It’s a shame that dex has forgotten who his friends are. Well, that seems to be going around a lot. Have you heard from kristina? She’s in an — in an emotional place right now, and she’s gonna calm down and get over it. Sonny, your daughter who thinks you walk on water saw you beat a man. And when your friend tried to drag you away, you threatened to kill them both. You can’t make things right for your dad. And you can’t make dex decide one way or another. I know, but I tried to pressure dex into doing what I wanted him to do. I just did it through michael. I am my father’s daughter. You’re much more than that. But you have to make yourself and your baby your biggest priorities. If this priority gets any bigger, I’m not even gonna be able to walk.

[ Laughs ] Hey, it’s beautiful. You’re beautiful. I just… I want — I want my baby to have a better world than I had. And I’m not doing my part in making sure that happens by letting my dad go free again. What a mess. She thinks the world of him. I don’t think so anymore. But I don’t want to make her testify against him. That’s very compassionate of you, but are you sure? If it were just her, it would be bad enough, but it’s not. There’s a baby to worry about. I respect you, and I admire you, so I need to hear it from you. If I decide not to press charges, for whatever reason, am I tarnishing the badge before I even put it on? You want a drink? Yeah. I’ll share a small glass of wine with you. I have been weeping on and off all day, and my stomach is in knots. Oh, mine, too.

[ Sighs ] Not for nothing, but your idea of sharing needs work. Well, not for nothing, but if you want more, I’ll pour some more.

[ Both laugh ] Hey, ned. I’m really glad that I married you. Huh. And I am — I’m so glad that we were young and that we were in love. Then we had our beautiful brook lynn. You know what? I wouldn’t change a thing. Except maybe not having my heart broken so much. Although, you know what? Scrap that. Because everything that happened brought us exactly to where we are right here. Exes who love each other. And we’re the best of friends. And we share a beautiful daughter, and years in the future we’re gonna share some beautiful grandchildren. I’m looking forward to that.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Me too. Although I have to say, I’m a little nervous, you know? I mean, yeah, I’m gonna be over the moon when I get to hold that grandbaby, but the thought of being a nonna? Ohh. I’m just afraid somebody’s gonna ambush me and throw me in a black dress with support hose and orthopedic shoes.

[ Laughs ] Well, gloria didn’t let that happen to her. And for that matter, it didn’t happen to my mother, either. Well, your mother’s not italian. Gloria is, and she didn’t turn into a little old lady in a black dress. Why would you? Alright, you know what? You’re right. I’m gonna be a — a nonna in combat boots.

[ Laughs ] And you will rock them!

[ Laughs ] See? See? You are a wonderful man, ned. You know what? Life is short. And we don’t know how much time we have here. So, for the record… I love you and I appreciate you. You changed my life, lois. I met you, and nothing was ever the same. And it was all exponentially better. And I love and appreciate you, too. Thank you. And I’m really looking forward to seeing a nonna in combat boots.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah. It’s just really sad, though, you know? Because… someday when we get to hold that hypothetical grandchild… …gregory won’t be here to hold that baby. Justice caldwell: Upon review, it is our decision that ms. Davis does have the right to know the name of her accuser. So? Ava jerome. What?! The name of your accuser. Ava jerome.


[ Exhales sharply ] Gio! Hi. Ooh! Your honors, I request a hearing to determine the credibility and reliability of ava jerome’s testimony. On what grounds? On the grounds that the revelation that ava jerome is the witness changes the entire complexion of this case. Ms. Davis forfeited the right to a hearing when she failed to offer up a defense years ago. Ms. Davis was denied information years ago and, as such, felt mounting a defense would be futile. A separate hearing will not be granted. This case has been settled for too long. Then, uh, I would ask for a recess so that we may formulate a response to what can only be described as an ambush. That’s ridiculous. Your honors — justice caldwell: I’ll grant 10 minutes. Upon return, we’ll expect to hear both parties’ final statements. The recess starts now. How about I take you home? You trying to get rid of me? No. I’m trying to get you to rest. But while you rest, I’ll whip up an omelet. No, wait, wait. You know how to make an omelet? I’m a woman of many talents. That I know. Wait. So, I shouldn’t expect breakfast in bed anytime soon? No, not exactly. You’re fine with pop-tarts, right?

[ Laughs ] Come on. Showing compassion for kristina under no circumstances compromises you as a cadet, certainly not as a cop. So, failure to report a crime is okay? Let’s just think about this for a second. Just say that we could secure a conviction of aggravated assault against sonny. And we both know that that’s not a sure thing. Understood. Diane miller — she would work her magic and he’d be out, in, what, 18 months, give or take? Right. Meanwhile, his entire family would be dragged into this, and there is no telling what that stress of testifying would do to kristina and her baby. On the other hand — and this is very important, dex — you are the victim of a vicious assault that required medical attention. Allegedly. So, what are you telling me to do? I’m not telling you to do anything. I’m just reminding you that a single crime rarely affects a single individual. Every crime has ripple effects that just sort of reach out and touch people that had nothing to do with the crime. Their lives, your life — they’re changed forever. Sometimes in small ways and sometimes in not-so-small ways. You know, you are certainly within your rights to report this assault. But you’re under no obligation to. And… I just… I don’t know if — if this is the right time for us to go after sonny. Everything would be a lot easier if things were just black and white. Life isn’t black and white. People aren’t, either. They’re gray. Cops don’t have things easy. You know, if we did, anybody could be a cop. I thought you and I came to some kind of an understanding, at the very least, a — a truce. I was in a bad place, and you stopped me from going to a worse place. And I appreciate that. But you didn’t see what happened. Okay. Then tell me what happened. I lost my temper. And I punched dex. I — first punch. Maybe a few more punches. And I kicked him. And then jason came in and he grabbed me and then it all escalated. So it’s jason’s fault. Well, you know, he just grabbed me real tight. He’s a strong guy, and I was furious. I couldn’t move. And then I started saying things. I don’t even remember what I said. And then kristina’s there. She heard — I don’t know what she heard. And she ran off.

[ Sighs ] None of this would have happened if jason had just stayed out of it. So now it’s jason’s fault. Before, it was dex’S. Before that, it was me and michael. What are you gonna do when you run out of traitors? Who are you gonna blame for the man you’ve become?


I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me. I know how busy you are. I don’t know if I helped in any way, but I’m always happy to listen. Dex, I… I hope I didn’t discourage you from pressing charges — ’cause the law is the law. That actually is black and white. Which is a good thing because it prevents us and saves us from having to make more subjective decisions. I understand. But I’m not gonna press charges. And I’m sorry if that makes me a terrible cop, but for now, I’m gonna live in the gray. For what it’s worth… …I think you’re gonna be a very good cop.

[ Door closes ] Alright, carly, you said what you need to say. I think you should probably go now. Yeah. You seem to have everything you need right here. Carly. I appreciate what you did for me last night. Kristina and I are good. We’re gonna be fine. I hope so.

[ Door closes ]

[ Exhales sharply ] After hearing that, sonny, I tell you, I am impressed by your restraint. It’s almost as if carly wants you to be estranged from your children. Ugh. According to ava, I made her brother’s life a living hell. After he tried to kill me, I sure hope I did. You know it was julian, right? You know, it was julian who announced to everyone that I was involved with neil. Of course. Mm-hmm. And then ava takes it upon herself to call neil’s brother, fergus, who was sitting on the bar disciplinary committee at the time. Certainly seems that way. Meanwhile, counselor byrne is sitting on his own giant conflict of interest. I cannot believe we went through this whole ordeal for nothing. Nothing! You know, all the work we did, all of the legal precedents we found, all of the ethics cases, everything — nothing. You know why? Because my disbarment was never about the law. So the law is not gonna help me get my license back. It’s time? Yes. Ava jerome. You know, under the guise of sticking up for her sociopathic brother, do you know what she did? I mean, she cost me my career. And not only that — because of her, I lost myself. Ah! Welcome, welcome. Here, let me help you with your stuff. Come on in. Come on.

[ Groans ] Oh, my goodness! Who helped you pack? Was it my ma or was it zia francesca?? Zia francesca. I told her I don’t need all this. Yeah, but you know what? Don’t worry about it. The room you have, the closet is huge. You’re gonna be able to fit everything, no problem. Just tell me where I’m going. No, no, no, no, no. Just leave it right there. It’s okay. Yuri will bring your stuff up. Seriously? Seriously. Here. Come here. Sit down. I — I want to tell you something. Here. Sit right here. Um… so, you know, uh, gregory, chase’s father, the man who officiated the wedding, right? Yeah. Well, um…

[ Voice breaking ] He passed away last night, so… wow. Th-that’s — I-I’m so sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I know. It’s — it’s a loss. But, um, brook lynn and chase — they canceled their honeymoon, and right now they’re both over at chase’s brother’s place. Maybe this is the wrong time for me to come stay. I-I can look for a rental — absolutely not. Monica is already on board with all this. And, you know, we’re getting your room ready. The quartermaines don’t even know me. They will. I mean, you’re extended family. Emphasis on “family.” I missed you, G. You know? And I was a little worried about what kind of trouble you might be getting into without me having my eyes on you. I was good as gold. You are good as gold. And I am so happy that you’re here in port charles. I really think that this is the — this is the right place for you. You must be feeling really sad right now. I’m sad, too. You know, sweetie, you can talk to me about your grandpa, but you don’t have to. We can just sit here and be quiet together. I’m thinking about my dad. Grandpa was his dad, so he must be especially sad right now. He is. What if something ever happened to my dad? It’s really scary to think about, isn’t it? I love him so much. He’s my everything. You don’t have anything to worry about, sweetie. Your dad is strong and healthy. He’s gonna be around for a really long time. Step by step. Please.

[ Sighs ] I dropped violet off at school. I came back, and, um, the apartment was quiet. It was so quiet. I called out to dad, but he didn’t answer me. So I went in his room and… he was so still. I called 911. And the coroner came out not long after that. Pronounced him deceased. Yeah, I had a drink. Okay. Maybe more than one. I’m not really sure.

Patton Oswalt, host of "The 1% Club" on Amazon Prime Video and FOX

Interview with Patton Oswalt, host of “The 1% Club” on Amazon Prime Video and FOX by Suzanne 4/30/24

This was a wonderful interview! I’ve enjoyed Patton’s work ever since I saw him in “Justified” (one of the best shows on TV), where he played Constable Bob. He’s done so many wonderful shows and movies, as well as his great standup act.   I don’t watch many game shows, but this new one is smart and funny. It’s very challenging. If you love “Jeopardy,” you should love this one, too. It airs tomorrow, May 23, on Prime Video, and then airs again on FOX, starting Monday, June 3.

They only gave me 6 minutes with him, so I was talking pretty fast. I hope you can understand me!  Enjoy!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, uh, are you sure you’ve got enough to eat this morning? For the last time, Johnny. Yes. And ice cream for dinner last night was fun, but You can’t keep avoiding your mother forever. Actually, I was going to say that a well balanced meal is what’s best for us moving forward. And look, I really, really am grateful that you were supportive of my not wanting to be with Mama last night.

But I know that you’re worried. That she’s hurt, and that it’s not good for me either, pushing her. Look, okay, look, I’m not going to pressure you on this anymore, okay? I just, it’s between you and your mom. And I’ll deal with it, eventually. But on my terms. Okay? Okay. Oh, hey, hey, hey! The doctor said no heavy lifting, remember?

Johnny, I really appreciate you stepping into dad mode, but, um, you are not my dad. Can I peer at you this little one? Yes, fine. Yeah, and the doctor also said that we should be treating this like a normal pregnancy. Oh, I got this. Okay.

Alex, I wasn’t expecting you. It’s still before noon. Oh, I’m not in the mood today, Maggie, so just tell me what I can do for you, huh? I need approval actually. I’d like to set us at an office at Titan for Constantine. Excuse me? Oh no. No, no, no, no, no, no. There is no way in hell I’m going to let that creep work here.

Well Brady, how are you on this very, very glorious morning? Fine, fine. Have a seat. Next cup’s on me. Don’t mind if I do. Well, look at you. All sunshine and roses and bubblegum. What’s going on? Well, let me see. I updated my resume. I had a really great workout. And, uh, I’m back together with Alex. Really? Wow, look at that.

Well, that’s great. That’s what you wanted, right? That’s exactly what I wanted.

Okay. Well, not to rain on your parade or anything, but, um, where exactly does that leave Alex and Kristen?

Six down. Total admission receipts from a sporting event. Hmm. Oh, it was wild out there this morning. Drop offs become a madhouse. Well, pick up is no better. You know, sometimes the traffic was so terrible, I drive around behind the school, and the kids escape through the gate. The gate! Gate! That’s it. Gate.

Damn it. You know, Julie, I have access to the spectator crossword answers if you ever decide you want. Bite your tongue, Chad. You got it. I do not cheat on crossword. Excuse me.

Hello, Julie speaking. How nice to hear from you. Really? Really? That’s wonderful. That’s wonderful. Thank you. I mean, thank you. Thank you so much. What was that? Oh, Chad. I’ve just gotten the best news I’ve had in ages.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Oh, by the way, I, did you finish the chem take home? I was hoping that maybe we could, uh, compare answers on it. Huh? I’m sorry, no, no, no, I didn’t get around to doing it. I’ll just, uh, Do it in study hall. Wow, wait, you, I’m sorry, you teacher’s pet did not finish the test. Oh my god, don’t tell me you were replaced by an unstudious pod person in your sleep.

Ha ha, can you, I’m not a teacher’s pet by the way. And no, I’ve had other stuff on my mind. Okay, like what? I ordered these promposal donuts for Holly. She already asked me, but you know, I wanted to ask her, you know, like, officially. In pastry form. Well, that’s a weird way to put it, but yeah, yeah, and And now her mom won’t even let her go.

And that is just perfectly good donuts, uh, to the wayside. Don’t you fret, man. I might be able to help you out with that. Let me make one thing abundantly clear. There is no Alex and Kristen, and there never will be. That hot, fake mess of a relationship, that was just a pathetic attempt to make you and I jealous.

Hmm. Well, it’s a good thing neither of us fell for it. Fine, I may have overreacted. You? No, not you. Never. You’re right, though. It, it That was pretty pathetic, if I may say. Like you said. Yeah, their fake relationship or my alleged overreaction? No comment. I’m kind of disappointed that my vacation from Kristen is over.

I mean, that woman will do anything she possibly can to get back into my life. There’s no chance that she actually will, though. Not a snowball’s chance in hell. That is a very good thing. Because that woman is I’m gonna put this very politely. She is not a good person, Brady. And to put this very impolitely, she’s a psychopathic maniac.

And you deserve so much better. Do you think I deserve better than a psychopathic maniac? Okay. That is sweet of you, isn’t it? What I’m saying is that you deserve somebody very special, Brady. Because you are. And I know that you’re gonna find her. Those are kind words. I’m not so sure, though. I don’t know, I used to think that I would find that perfect, perfect girl for me, right?

Even my track record though, I don’t know, I don’t know if it’s ever gonna happen, I just Maybe it wasn’t meant to be.

I tell you I need an office for my future husband, and there’s no way in hell that you’re gonna allow it? That’s right. I do not need your permission to do anything, Alex. And there’s no way in hell that I’m going to allow you to call the shots. For God’s sakes! I’m not asking you to give him a job. Just an office space.

What the hell does he need office space for? I’m establishing a charitable trust with a portion of Victor’s estate. Your portion? Yes, my portion. Constantine has a lot of time on his hands and he wants to help. And since he knew Victor most of his life, I feel that he can just, you know, he can distribute the funds to the causes that meant the most to him.

Lovely. He can do that from home. No, he can’t. There’s a little chaotic at the house right now with Doug and Julie and Chad and the kids and this work. It takes a quiet focus. This is important, Alex. So you and I. We’ll give Teresa’s office to him.

Well, you may think you’re all powerful here at Titan, but you and I, we’re splitting Victor’s estate equally, meaning that you’re in no position to object to my very simple request. So you damn well better work with me on this or my next request. It may not be simple.

Fine. Whatever. But just know, I’m going to be keeping an eye on your little con man.

That was the contractor. The building inspector came by this morning, looked over the house, and has signed off on the occupancy permit. What? Yes. We’re going home? Yes! We’re going home? I am so happy for you, I’m happy for me, I’m happy for the kids. We’re going home. We can pack our bags! But before we do, I’ve got a million things to do.

I have to make some calls. I have to tell Doug. I have to call Maggie. give her a heads up on all this. Oh, Honey, we’re going home! We’re going home! We’re going home! We’re going home! Home! Home! Home! Home! Home! Home! Home!

Felicity, good morning. Morning. I’ve been waiting for you. I have your favorite scones somewhere. Thank you. And I bought you a hot Oh my God. Thank you. You get out to the menu. Okay. I love all bread. Hey Felicity, how’s it going? She brought me a hollow bread. Wow. Mmm. Mmm. Ah. Well, uh, it, it looks amazing. Go on, try it.

Uh, I’m feeling, uh, a little queasy. You know what? I think that this is a job for the official Sweet Bits. Yeah, it’s true. He knows his stuff. Yeah, no new menu items get to pass through without the official Johnny D. taste test. Crossed my fingers. You know what? I think we have a winner. Oh, well, it sounds like we have a new upcoming menu item.

Yay!

So we’re all set, yes? Hmm, I guess so. Excellent. Well, I will send your EA the paperwork of the room assignment, the security clearance, and the like. And Constantine can have access to that office when this is all settled. Oh, excuse me. Please. Hi, Julie.

The inspector said what?

Really? That’s wonderful. Well, I’m so happy for you and Doug and Chad and the kids. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Okay, I’ll see you soon. Uh, good news? The, um, Horton House is ready for the big move in. Ah. Well, it’s good news for me, too. Now I can finally take my rightful place in the family home.

Okay, my schedule is clear today. I am your happy helping mover. Oh, wonderful. Well, you know, I thought I was completely prepared for this, and I realize I have been. So many calls to make, so many things to do. First, uh, the furniture people. Call and see if they can possibly make a delivery today. Okay, well, you said the furniture was purchased.

Yeah. And it was in stock. Yes. Right, that’s what you said. So I’m sure it’s just sitting around, uh, taking up space in a warehouse somewhere. Of course. Yes. That’s what I always say. Buy local, and then your delivery is right around the corner. Yeah. What else? Uh, I’m gonna steal a little snack. I’m a little bit famished before I have to start packing.

Food! Food! Of course, we gotta have groceries. Yes, yes. Okay, so, uh, I’ll call the grocery store. No. No, I’ll order online. And what would you like to eat first? Never mind. Never mind. I’ll just tell him the works. That works? It works. It works. So, can you imagine, tonight we are going to be sleeping under our own roof.

Oh boy. This is such a happy day. Yes, it is. Forgive the cliche, but never say never. I truly have a feeling. When you least expect it. Love will find you. Love will find you? You got any more greeting cards Sam’s up your sleeve there, T? Mm hmm. Yeah, actually millions. Well, that’s a Job idea, Teresa Donovan, greeting card author.

Oh my god, you’d be fantastic at that. Do it. Yeah, although I think that AI is probably better at it than I am. Yeah, you’re probably right. Seriously, how is the job search going? Well, I have updated my resume to have different variations for every field. So, for instance, marketing is You should buy that.

Alright. Editing. Are you sure about that semi colon? Sales. Uh. Maybe, you know, maybe, maybe, uh. Hey, you should buy this. Again. Hmm. You know, all jokes aside about the AI thing, I think going back to the greeting card idea, that’s a, that’s a good idea. I should look into that. You should. You should totally look into it.

Yeah. I think that when I’m ready. Something will just come to me. It will. I’m sure it will. Oh, by the way, speaking of jobs, just, uh, coming along, um, More of the volunteer type, I got an email from Tate School, And they were low on prom chaperones, so Just wanted to let you know, I I signed up. I’m doing it.

What? Yeah. I did too! That’s crazy! What? Hold on, whoa, what does this, does this mean? That you and I are going to prom together. Oh my god, I think it does.

So, Felicity, what is your secret ingredient? I won’t be able to tell you. You know what, yeah, that’s a good point. You know what? Let me, uh, let me take this. Hi. Hey, Chanel. Hey, Aaron. Let me go grab those prom donuts for you. Hey! Felicity, what are you, what are you doing here? I brought her, but I brought Chanel, so she can try it.

What? Um, I thought that was for me. I left a lot for you, Aaron. Okay, alright. Good, I feel better. Oh, uh, take, you met my sister, Felicity? She’s a freshman. I am not. Hey, I’m Tate. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Felicity makes the most delicious treats. She’s definitely going to be a baker when she’s all grown up.

Excuse me. I’m only, um, And don’t I know it. I may or may not have stolen a cookie or two here from your brother’s lunch. Yeah, you. It was you. The cookie thief. You gotta respect the cookie, man. Don’t worry. I’ll make some more in the next batch. Just for you, Tate. Yes. Thank you, Felicity. Well, Sissy was gonna start working at the bakery once she starts that school prep program.

Not just any bakery. Sweet Bits. That’s great, because then you can tell me the secret ingredient for the famous Sweet Bits made scones. Uh uh, no way. It’s a secret!

Alright. And, here you go.

I hope she says yes. Uh, actually, she already did. Oh. Yeah, then her, her mom said no. Yeah. Well, that’s terrific. Now, I want you to know we really appreciate your efficiency, and Yes, yeah, well, I’ll see you later. You’re not going to believe this. Everything, everything is going to be delivered on time. Well, I suspect Tom and Alice probably had something to do with that.

And Abigail too. You know something? I dreamed of Abigail last night. She came to see me, to tell me that Thomas is a finicky eater, however, he loves grilled cheese sandwiches, which of course we know.

Gee, I shouldn’t have told you about my dream of Abigail, should I? No, no, no, I’m glad you did. Uh, thank you, but it’s just that I, um, I can’t believe Abigail was working on the story about Clyde for so long and I didn’t know about it. And I I keep replaying it over and over in my head and I can’t help but think that if I would have known, you know, that I could have, uh, could have done something, you know, like I, um, like I could have saved her.

If. If.

Chad.

In this life, many things happen to us. And we have very little control over most of them. Good things, wonderful things. And the terrible things. And all I know for sure, is that Abigail wouldn’t want you to suffer like this. I know.

Move on. Please move on. For your children, for yourself. Focus on the future.

You’re not going to forget Abigail. We aren’t either, how could we? But it’s time for you to live a full life. A full, purposeful life. And that will honor Abigail’s memory forever. It’s the only way, Chad.

You’re moving back into the mansion? Seems rather logical, right? It’s where I belong, Maggie. Besides, why would I be staying in an apartment when I have a mansion available with a full staff? Servants, cleaners, drivers. Hmm. I just assumed that you would be, um, purchasing your own home. Considering you’re now a card carrying member of the nouveau riche.

The nouveau extremely riche, I should say. Yeah. The Kyriakos Mansion was Victor’s home. I am Victor’s son. That is my birthright. Besides, the amenities suit my lifestyle. Oh, and before I forget, I’m gonna need you to keep an eye out for my new racehorse. Straight from the horse’s ass. What? I mean, mouth. Hmm.

Constantine will be occupying the office soon. And, um, I’ll circle back. Keep you in the loop. Okay.

Hey, Kristen. Listen, I’m gonna have to cancel tonight, yeah. But I No, I’m just really busy. I’m moving back in my dad’s house. I’m gonna be unpacking and packing and Yeah But I promise you I will be making it up to you very very soon So should I get you a boutonniere? Yeah, yeah, only if I can get you the most ridiculously ugly wrist corsage Alright, deal.

You know what? This might actually be fun. You didn’t go to your prom, did you? No, no, no. Wasn’t really my thing. I know, you were just too cool for school, weren’t you? I didn’t go to mine either. I only have movies as a reference, so, you know, this could either be magical, or Or an absolute horror show. Let’s just hope there aren’t any telekinetic kids who want to exact their revenge.

Theresa, this is Salem. They’re probably everywhere. I actually, that’s funny because I remember I, uh, I chaperoned a Last Blast dance years ago when Philip was in high school. And it was crazy. Well, whatever happens, you know that we’re gonna make our son’s life miserable. You can always count on that. No one doesn’t kill you, right?

Right. You’ll get over it.

Oh God, I gotta go. Okay. Um, listen, all jokes aside, I’m really looking forward to going to the prom with you. Me too.

Yes, yes, I realize that your production office is in L. A. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I understand, I, I just, I don’t think that that would be a problem. I could stay based here in the Midwest, I could fly there when I, No, I understand. I understand, okay? It’s just my, this is my home. My, my, my family is here.

My, my wife has a thriving business here. I This relocation is, uh, it’s baked into the deal, huh? Well, I appreciate that. Look, I, um, I’m very, very excited about this, this whole thing, okay? Believe me, I just, I’m gonna need a little more time to think things over. Right, I will, uh, I’ll be in touch. Thank you.

Sorry about your date, Aaron. Yeah, thanks. It’s a bummer. My boyfriend is offline, so I’ll be going to prom next year. Well, at least someone in the family is dating. Hey, cheer up, pal. You know, I was gonna wait until later, but, uh, What do you say, my friend? You, are you asking me out? Will you do my date Sophia and I the honor of being our date to the prom?

What is happening? Girl, your guess is as good as mine. We can go to prom as a throuple. Um, he means a friendly group date. You know what? I don’t really feel like being anybody’s third wheel. Oh, come on, man. Why are you so anti tricycle here? I don’t know, man. I already talked to Sophia. She thinks it’ll be fun.

Let’s do it. Come on. Oh, well, in that case Fine. That’s right. Fine. Give me some. Yeah! Alright, I’m in. Thanks. Weird, but at least you’re going to prom now. Thanks, sis. I guess. Okay, we should probably go. Do you want to walk to school with us? No, I think, I think it’s a bit good to have a lot of identicals. Okay.

Okay. Well, see you later. Bye guys. For now, I think you have a major score on the signing of my name. Oh, you know what? I sure do. Come on, let’s go inside. I think it’s time for a donut break. I call first pick. Dude. Hey, you gotta be quicker than that. I called it. Yeah, alright, alright. Oh, I’m gonna go with, uh, chocolate glaze.

I’m just gonna fix 32 of this. Mmm, wow. That is tasty. Tate? Aren’t you supposed to be in school? That bell doesn’t ring for another half hour. Donut? Oh. Cute. Uh, I don’t care why not. Thanks, Aaron. There’s berries everywhere. Really good. Alright, boys. Don’t be late. We won’t. Are you sure about this prom thing?

Yeah, totally, man. It’ll be fun. Well, yeah, maybe for you, not for me. I’m a third wheel. You don’t have to worry about that. You’re good. Believe me. What does that mean? Alright, look. This has to stay between us. Okay? Uh, yeah. Sure. I am planning on ghosting you guys right after dinner so you and Sophia can have some alone time.

What? What? Why? Why? Dude, come on, be real. I know you like Sophia. Um, um, I’m not going to move in on your girl though, dude. That’s like, that’s not, that’s not cool. What are you talking about? I’m telling you, it is cool. Here’s the thing, Sophia’s great, right? But she’s not my girl. She’s not really who I want to take to prom.

It’s amazing how much you can accomplish when you’re highly motivated.

Whoa, I can’t believe this. How did you do this all so quickly? It was Chad. Chad spoke to Henderson. Henderson spoke to your staff, and they were incredible. Oh, well, I’m impressed. Oh, Maggie. I cannot thank you enough for taking in the family, and me, and your welcome, and your kindness. Julie. Well, it just meant the world to us.

Of course. Aww. I’m just so glad you get to go home. But I’m gonna miss you terribly, my friend. Well, it’s not the end of our relationship. I mean, you’re gonna see me, I promise. I’m gonna hold you to that. I’m sorry I’m getting emotional. I’m getting emotional. Because you love me. And I know it. And I love you.

And you know it. And my home is always open to you. And yours, you know that. I do. Okay. And Horton House is your second home. And you come and see me, and you visit Profit and Gold.

Hey. Oh, you’re home half day. Perks of being the boss. Delegation, my dear Donovan. Sure thing, Holmes. Anyway, I had something major come up, so I had to move some things around. Leave work early to pack. Pack? Where are you going? I thought I told you that I’m going back home. To the so called Kiriakis Mansion.

Yeah, you did, right? The Horton clan is finally leaving, so it’s my time to move back into my father’s home as head of the family. Hmm.

So I am on fast forward, baby. I need to organize, pull together all the essentials. I want to get to the East Wing and plant my flag ASAP.

And I know that you weren’t expecting this to happen so soon, and you don’t really like the idea of living here alone, but Mmm, it’s not just that. It’s just Well, we were just We were just getting back together. You know? And now you’re just bailing. It’s like you can’t get out of here fast enough. Theresa, I’m not bailing.

I’m just going to be across town. Yeah, but across town is a lot farther than across the bed. So, maybe Maybe what? I think you know. Wait a minute, what are you saying? Teresa Donovan, you want to move in with me?

How does it feel, my darling? Home. It’s like home And I can’t believe it. It looks exactly the way it did before the fire better It’s a miracle. Well, I do think grandma and grandpa would be pleased. I know they are Chad I cannot wait to see the faces of your darling little children when they come through the front door Yeah, they’re gonna love it Honey, what is the matter?

Uh, it’s just, you know, uh, This whole thing, you know, it never should have happened. The fire that we built, it’s all my fault. Oh, no, son. I thought we’d been through this before. Yeah, I know, I know we have. It’s just, the war with Clyde, it was my war. And then before that, to think that, that Abby was going after him, you know, to do the right thing.

And it cost her her life. I think you are going to love working in a big commercial kitchen. Sometimes when it’s just me in there, it’s just. Like, like magic, almost. Just putting all those ingredients together, and the recipes, and just creating something special. I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty awesome to watch.

Hey, by the way, Felicity, what is your favorite recipe? All of them. That’s a great answer. Follow up question, what recipe makes you the happiest once it’s finished? Sutter Karma chocolate chip cookies. Oh my goodness, that sounds like a great job for an expert taste tester. You got it. All right. I should probably go to school now.

Okay, hey, but don’t forget this. And I put a couple of extra stones in there for your boyfriend. Thank you, have a great day. Okay, we will. Bye. Bye. Why does it feel like I’m missing a part of the story? Okay. Look, I asked Sophia to prom because I felt horrible for hitting her in the face with a football.

Yeah. Yeah, it was there. Thank you. That doesn’t explain Um, look. Alright. The truth is, and dude, I’m telling you this has to stay a secret. Yeah, yeah, of course. Alright. Holly and I are still together.

What? I know. Wow. I know, but this has to stay like on the ultra, ultra down low because our parents are trying to keep us apart. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. Okay, so you’re just doing the whole The whole Romeo and Juliet thing? Ha! Tadeo and Holliet. First of all, nice. Actually, no, I’m not going to give that to you.

That’s terrible. But second of all, dude, it’s real. It’s no bit.

Okay, uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, I know, that did not end so well, but this will. Okay. Can I ask why? I mean, dude, after everything she did to you, Tate, uh Uh, look. Okay, I’m not asking you to understand my relationship, but I am asking you to respect it. And most importantly, man, please, please keep this to yourself.

Okay. Yes, yes. You can, you can count on me, Tadeo. My god, you are hilarious with this, Tadeo. Oh, oh, by the way, Sophia doesn’t know either, so you cannot tell her, because she would tell her mom, who would tell my parents, and it would just Yeah, hey, dude, yeah. Mm hmm. Got it. No words. Okay. Thanks. Thanks, man. Also, I could really use your help.

I really want to surprise her on prom night. I don’t know. Surprise who?

My, uh, date, Sophia, we were just I wanted to surprise her with a nice corsage or a nice dinner. It’s just, you know, stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Mr. Black, you gonna do anything else for your prom date? Uh, no. I actually didn’t go to prom. Oh. Sorry. No, don’t be sorry. It’s no big deal. It was decades ago.

But anyway, um, I should tell you this now’s as good a time as any. I will actually be going to your prom with your mom. That’s a good one. You had me there. Yeah, yeah. Well, I’m not kidding. The school needed chaperones, so your mom and I signed up. Sorry, dude.

Should I repeat the question? No, I heard you. It’s just, I’m not going to just invite myself to go live in your big mansion. Because that would be so uncouth. Teresa, I have invited you to live with me. Twice. It’s totally couth. Yeah, but you asked me platonically. Well, before that’s what you said. That was on you.

You wanted to keep things that way. Things are different now. Teresa? Do you want to move in the mansion with me? Yes. Hmm? Yes, I do! Oh.

Hey, it’s, uh, it’s been a pretty busy morning. You maybe want to sit down, take a little break? No, I feel great, actually. Physically and mentally. Yeah, and, oh, that reminds me. Mmm, that is good. And a good carpet, too. Isn’t that right, Tiny One? I’m glad that you’re feeling better. There’s more than that, Johnny.

This baby, our baby, I know that we can’t already know what’s gonna happen, but I do already know that I love him or her or them. And I know what I want to do. What? I want to have him, or her, or them. Okay. Noel, or, Noelle.

But only if I have you by my side. Johnny, I need you to tell me how you’re feeling about this, because if you don’t feel the same way, then I Chanel, I am I am by your side. Always.

Chad, it is not your fault. What happened to Abigail was Clyde Weston’s fault, period. Abby was just fighting the good fight like she always did. And now you are doing that. And she would be so proud that you’re continuing the fight. The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Absolutely. Absolutely. Abigail was trying to do the right thing. You’re trying to do the right thing. And believe it or not, we are all going to stand up together. Against Clyde Weston doing the right thing until that murdering son of a bitch is behind bars for the rest of his life. Because The Hortons do not back down.

Have you got it? I’ve got it. Thank you both of you. I, I needed that. Well. That’s what families do. You know, now that we’re all together here, I just had this idea. I think we should have a massive family reunion. What a wonderful idea. Yeah, it is. And maybe after that, maybe before that, we will have unlocked Grandpa’s time capsule.

That’d be incredible. Yes, it would. At this point, just imagine all of our Our family chickens coming home to roost together again. But until then,

Welcome home.

Oh, hey. Good morning, handsome. Good morning, little handsome. You’re here early. Yeah, I had to come and get Jude this morning because Dad and Kate, they watched him for us last night. Oh, that’s nice. You know, John and I would love to do that, too, if you ever have a need. Of course, thank you. Listen, I hate to cut this short, but I really need to get this little guy home, if that’s all right.

Of course it is. Okay, wonderful. Hey, wait a minute. Take off your glasses. Take them off.

What happened to you? Everett Lynch happened. I got here as fast as I could. Where’s Eric? He’s, uh, he’s with Jude. Look, you have to help me before he gets back. Help you with what? What’s going on? Last night, EJ gave me 24 hours to tell Eric that Jude is Nicole’s. What? That’s not all. He wants me to lie to Eric and tell him that EJ is the father.

Eric loses everything. Oh my god, including you. And the first thing Eric will do is have you arrested. No. First thing he’s going to do is give the baby back to Nicole.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Traci, let me know if or when you hear from ashley. Uh, I’ll do the same. I love you.

Devon: Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry. Jack, it’s my bad. It’s my bad, my head was in another place.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no. Same could be said for me.

Devon: Work stuff for you?

Jack: Uh, mostly family.

Devon: Oh, man, I hope everybody’s okay.

Jack: Yeah, I do too. But that’s not anything I wanna burden you with. Tell me about you. What’s got you so distracted?

Devon: It’s work, mostly. It’s, uh, I’m sure you know with family businesses, the lines can get a little blurry.

Jack: Yeah, tell me about it. So, is my brother billy making it easier or harder for you over at chancellor-winters?

Devon: Uh, he’S… uh, exciting is the word. He’s making it exciting.

Jack: Well now, there is an evasive answer. What’s billy done now?

Cole: Jordan.

Jordan: Victor. I can’t even get a good night’s sleep.

Cole: What the hell’s going on?

Jordan: Cole? Cole, oh, my god. Oh, my god, cole, you’ve gotta get me out of here.

Nate: Never too early for ice cream. I hope you like vanilla.

Audra: What if I don’t?

Nate: Uh, then I will have to re-evaluate this whole friendship. ‘Cause it is the benchmark by which I judge all other flavors.

Audra: You know what, I couldn’t agree more. If you can’t make a good vanilla, don’t try to sell me on your chocolate chip or cookies and cream.

Nate: Hm, that is a relief.

Audra: Tell the truth. It’s the only flavor they had, isn’t it?

Nate: You got me.

Audra: So much for you needing to get back to work.

Nate: I don’t think the company would go belly-up if I’m a few minutes late.

Audra: Quite a different work ethic from when you were burning the midnight oil at newman.

Nate: I had, um, other reasons to work late then.

Audra: Yeah, I am aware.

Nate: Mind if I ask you something?

Audra: Shoot.

Nate: Before you said, um, you tried to bring out my bad side, when you should’ve focused on the good.

Audra: Yes, if I’d been paying attention, I would’ve seen the guy who gives it to me straight about tucker and buys me ice cream before lunch.

Nate: I kind of got the sense that you were– you were talking about yourself too. That you’re not this bad girl you pretend to be. You’re ready to explore your– your good side.

Audra: That’s quite a stretch.

Nate: So, there was no self-reflection in what you said.

Audra: Ah, I did all my soul-searching in my 20s. I indulged in self-improvement. Okay, I’m done with all that. I find it boring.

Nate: Okay. You sure about that?

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: Really? You’re just gonna leave me hanging here? I know you’re wounded. And not just by me, but by audra. I saw her with nate. Boy, she’s moved on fast, huh? Here you are, feeling raw and vulnerable. Once again, I’m telling you, I’m wrong, I’m sorry. Please forgive me, please trust me. Please trust in us. Because no matter how many years go by, we always come back to each other. It’s the realest thing we’ve ever known. Come with me. Let me remind you how absolutely incredible we are together. With cascade platinum plus,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: I think it’s pretty funny that you assume that billy already did something.

Jack: Oh, I didn’t mean to assume the worst. Billy has a unique management style. Sometimes, it ruffles some feathers.

Devon: Oh, well, that’s nice to hear it’s not just with me because we haven’t really been seeing eye to eye on a lot of things lately.

Jack: Dare I ask what?

Devon: It’s mainly the fact that he’s convinced jill to hand over all of her power to him that’s caused a bit of tension in the office.

Jack: Wait, jill has ceded control to billy?

Devon: She sure has. Without telling me or lily before she did it, too. And billy says it was all her idea, which I’m not buying.

Jack: This is not something anyone could convince her of, including her son.

Devon: I completely agree with you, which is why I think this is 100% billy’s doing. The guy’s been trying to consolidate power ever since he’s come back.

Jack: I am shocked. It is, after all, called chancellor-winters. Neil and this family built something to be honored and respected, as did katherine. And jill has always led with that in mind.

Devon: Yeah, you’re telling me. I just don’t think billy sees it that way.

Jack: I’m just surprised to hear that, given his respect for family.

Devon: Oh, I know he respects his own, ’cause he wanted to add your family name to the company. Yeah, that’s how much respect he has for neil and katherine and us and what we built. The fact that he wanted to rebrand the company to add abbott to it says everything I need to know about that guy.

Tucker: Ashley, I’m not going anywhere with you.

Ashley: Why not?

Tucker: Because this isn’t you.

Ashley: So we can recapture what we had before it all fell apart. I know we can.

Tucker: But it didn’t just fall apart, did it? It blew apart. Do you remember that?

Ashley: Of course, I do. And I’ve asked you to forgive me, so please forgive me so we can move on.

Tucker: Except that it’s not just about the fight because you’ve been ping-ponging back and forth between wanting me back and never wanting to see me again since we’ve been back from paris.

Ashley: Losing you made me lose my center, tucker, okay? So yes, I became volatile. I tried to push you away. I tried to tell myself I needed to walk away from you, but how could I walk away from my– my soulmate? I can’t, and neither can you.

Tucker: No, no, that’s a very nice thought. But, ashley, there is something seriously wrong here. This is not about love. You’re going through something right now. And I just have to… I’m sitting here watching it happen and–

Jordan: Oh, thank god you’re here. You’re here, aren’t you? You’re here, am i hallucinating? No, you’re here, aren’t you? I mean, I’ve been hallucinating. I’ve been– I’ve been seeing– I’ve been seeing rats and spiders and I don’t know if they’re here. Maybe they’re just running amok. I don’t know. Let me hold you. Let me hold you.

Cole: I’m not going anywhere near you.

Jordan: Oh, oh, oh, but you’re here, aren’t you? I can see you. I can see you. Your dear mother would be so happy that you’re gonna get me out of here. My beloved nephew. Oh, you’re gonna get me out, aren’t you? Aren’t you, cole? Yeah, because– because your mom raised you the right way. She raised you to be a good man. She raised you to understand the importance of justice, didn’t she? And you’re gonna get me out of here. Do you have the key?

Cole: There is no key. How did you get in here?

Jordan: Oh…

Cole: We heard that you drowned in that river.

Jordan: No, no, no, no, no. That was all victor. That was victor. He set everything up, okay? And he’s gonna keep me in here. You see, I’m his trophy. He comes down here to gloat at me in all my misery. So, you have to help me find something. Get something to get me out of here, okay? Why aren’t you moving? Come on, help me. Help me, please. Help me. Get me out of here. Hey, I– I need some food. I need some food, desperately. I’m just caught down here. Please, cole. Please help. I’ve learned my lesson. I’m– I’m reformed. And so if– if you can get me out of here, I’ll– I’ll– I’ll leave town. I’ll leave town. And I’ll never return, okay? Okay?

Cole: Do you think that I would actually believe you after everything that you’ve done?

Jordan: Okay, then. Call the cops. Call the cops. On me, but on victor, too. He’s insane. Get me into an actual prison because I can’t take this anymore. Head & shoulders bare clinically proven dandruff

Jordan: Did you hear me? You can’t just stand there. Are you dense? Do something.

Cole: I can’T.

Jordan: Oh, ha, ha, ha.

Cole: And I can’t call the police either.

Jordan: Cole, I’m all the family you’ve got left. The newmans drove your mother to an early grave.

Cole: Claire and victoria are my family. And you– you took them from me once. And you’ll never stop trying to do it again. That I know.

Jordan: Well, you can’t just leave me here, can you?

Cole: I need time to think.

Jordan: There is no time. I told you, victor is a madman. You come back here. Cole! Cole! Don’t leave me here, oh, god! I am not a caged animal.

Jack: Billy said that? He wants to put our name on your company.

Devon: Yes, sir. Wanted to call it abbott- chancellor-winters. And he said that was jill’s idea, too. And judging from your response, I’m gonna guess he never told you about it.

Jack: No, that this is the first I’ve heard of it.

Devon: Yeah, well, I’m not surprised. He was so busy, focused on his power grab, that he never thought about how his actions could affect other people.

Jack: I hope it hasn’t made things untenable.

Devon: It’s not fun. I’m not gonna lie to you, jack. I think that billy thrives on conflict, which just fuels his agenda. But you wouldn’t be able to have a word with him and maybe ask him to relax, would you?

Jack: Look, I am sorry for all this tension, but jill putting her trust in billy, I mean, that’s a big deal. And I can’t agree with you that he engineered that. This is not something jill would do lightly.

Devon: So, I’ll take that as a no?

Jack: Look, you’re all professionals. You’ll find your way through this, hopefully without the abbott name on your building.

Devon: Oh, yeah, we’re not gonna be adding that to anything as long as I have a say, which I do.

Jack: Look, let me give you a little piece of advice about billy. Any push for power is usually insecurity. He feels undervalued. Maybe he feels you and your family have not accepted him.

Devon: Well, he’d be right.

Jack: Perhaps there’s a disconnect in goals and communication, or maybe it’s as extreme as you make it out to be, but look, everyone at chancellor-winters is looking for a way to move the company forward and billy now has to be part of that vision. Wait, you can set the tone. Think of what neil would do. And I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be your best step forward.

Audra: If you know me at all, you would know I am seldom unsure about anything, especially of what I want.

Nate: Maybe.

Audra: Okay, I’ll bite. What is it you think you know about me?

Nate: It’s more about what I don’t know about you, audra, and what you don’t know about yourself. I get the feeling that you’re still searching for something.

Audra: Yeah, a new job.

Nate: You’re ambitious, no doubt about that. I’m– I’m curious about what’s behind that drive. I mean, you came to genoa city ready to take it by storm.

Audra: Yeah, I had an agenda, driven by tucker.

Nate: And maybe by heartbreak.

Audra: You mean noah newman? That was a lifetime ago.

Nate: Losing someone you love can change you, audra. Trust me, I know it all too well. And it could take some time to realize its impact. But it can make you put some walls around your heart.

Audra: Are we talking about me or you and victoria?

Nate: Could be, or me and elena. I’m still figuring it out. But I do know I used ambition as a distraction.

Audra: It seemed more like an aphrodisiac for you and victoria.

Nate: Hm, is that how it works with you and tucker? Or is it transactional?

Audra: How did we get back to tucker?

Nate: I’m sorry, I take it back. I just hope this latest crash and burn was a wake-up call, audra. One that will stick this time, because from where I sit, everything with that guy is transactional.

Audra: Or you’re totally off the mark. And maybe this is transactional. You know, maybe I’m just hanging out with you for the ice cream and job prospects.

Ashley: So, that’s it, huh? I spill my guts to you, and you’re just gonna casually observe me and my mental health?

Tucker: That’s not what I’m doing at all.

Ashley: I know exactly what you’re doing. You’re trying to convince yourself that I’m unbalanced, right? So you can ignore how you really feel about me. But if you would just stop fighting and come with me.

Tucker: And if you would stop deflecting, you would see that everybody around you right now is trying to get through to you. Everybody’s trying to help you.

Ashley: Being apart from you is not helping me!

Tucker: I know you believe that you’re being sincere, but it’s coming from a broken place, ashley. You need help. (Avo) kate made progress with her mental health…

Traci: Alan, I just don’t know what else to do.

Alan: Yeah, ashley’s, uh, radio silence is concerning.

Traci: I can’t get any sleep. I just keep going over and over in my head, every interaction looking for clues about what’s going on with her. I mean, trying to figure out what I could’ve said to– to coax her into getting treatment.

Alan: Well, I would tell you that’s pointless, but I’ve been doing the same thing.

Traci: It’s the worst, isn’t it?

Alan: Unfortunately, I am well-acquainted with second guesses. It’s a hazard of my profession.

Traci: Yes, I suppose it is. So, here we are, two of us, sitting in a psychotherapist’s office, waiting to be seen. She decides she has to use the ladies’ room. She never comes back. Why didn’t I know to not let her out of my sight?

Alan: Well, one thing I have learned is that people do not seek help until they’re ready.

Traci: Okay, but please, no offense, but not a lot of comfort there.

Alan: Well, I’m sorry for the platitude.

Traci: No, I appreciate the gesture.

Alan: Look, obviously, you care a lot about ashley, and this is a lot to process, so it’s very understandable.

Traci: Jack! Oh, good, you’re home.

Jack: No word from ashley?

Traci: No, nothing yet.

Jack: When was the last time you saw her?

Alan: Well, we had lunch together yesterday. She was charming and seemed to want to spend more time with me. And then we had a misunderstanding, and I haven’t seen her since. And she’s not been returning my messages either.

Traci: Alan and i have been talking. I think our sister might be worse off than we think.

Jack: In what way?

Traci: That’s the terrifying part. Ashley’s really unpredictable right now. She could go anywhere, do anything, and it’s because she’s literally not herself.

Ashley: You’re such a coward. Pretending to be a hero. You’re pathetic.

Belle: Yeah, now that’s better. Push him away. We don’t need him.

Ashley: You’re so afraid of how you feel about me. That’s why you ran to audra, isn’t it?

Tucker: Let’s leave audra out of this, shall we?

Ashley: She was a rebound chick, wasn’t she? She didn’t accept your marriage proposal, so what else do you need to know? I heard all about it. This big romantic gesture. The big ring you wanted to give her, but she’s not wearing it, so it doesn’t take a genius to figure out. She doesn’t want you. She doesn’t want what you want, but I do. She could never give you what you need, but I can.

Nate: You’re not working me for a job. We’ve established that would be a waste of time.

Audra: Look, I know I burned all my bridges at chancellor-winters. They may have forgiven you as their cousin, but I’m definitely persona non grata.

Nate: And there will be no coup attempt, at least not with the two of us planning it.

Audra: Who said anything about a coup? Just because tucker says that I’m out of a job at glissade doesn’t mean I’m gearing up for a hostile takeover.

Nate: Not at chancellor-winters, at least.

Audra: What does that mean?

Nate: That means I think you’re up to something, audra. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it had to do with glissade.

Audra: What makes you think that?

Nate: Well, you did approach me about joining you to make a move against tucker a while back. Or don’t you recall?

Audra: Oh, I remember our conversations very well.

Nate: So, call it an informed hunch on my part. Because in spite of you joking around, you don’t seem terribly worried about finding a new job. So, that leads me to believe that you have some kind of plan in the works, or at least the seed of one.

Audra: Something will turn up. I always land on my feet.

Nate: This is true. Because you are extremely desirable.

Audra: Hm, am I?

Nate: As an employee.

Audra: Is that all?

Nate: I’m just pointing out that I’m not offering you power or position. And you know that. And you’re spending time with me because you want to, not because you’re getting something out of it.

Audra: Yeah. No quid pro quo.

Nate: You seem to be enjoying it. And so am I. But to be clear, I know we’re just friends. No strings.

Audra: Just ice cream.

Nate: Oh.

Audra: There you go.

Victoria: Anyway, does she really have a bedtime? Or are you just like, faking it?

Claire: I was not faking it.

Victoria: I’m sorry. Oh, hey, there you are. We just had the best time ever.

Claire: We groomed midnight blue. Or should I say, mom groomed him and I watched.

Victoria: No, that’s not true. She was dying to help. She practically ripped the brush out of my hands.

Claire: There’s just so much to learn. I haven’t even gotten on a horse yet. Would it be weird to say that I love everything about the stable? Including the smell.

Victoria: No, it’s not weird at all. It’s wonderful.

Claire: It’s just– it feels really familiar. Even though I’ve never set foot in one in my life.

Victoria: Well, I think maybe you might be a natural. You know, I’m just thinking. She really bonded with blue and she hasn’t even had her first lesson yet. I think that he really responded to you.

Claire: Yeah, I mean, horses are so thoughtful, aren’t they?

Victoria: Yeah, well, don’t let it fool you. I mean, it’s not always smooth, you know? You have to earn their trust. That’s exactly what you were doing, by the way.

Claire: I’m just excited for an actual lesson.

Victoria: I know. I know you are. I think your father’s probably pretty excited too.

Claire: Dad? You’re awfully quiet.

Cole: Ah…

Claire: What’s wrong?

Cole: Yeah.

Victor: Well, now, look at this happy family.

Victoria: Hi, daddy.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Even cole came back to the main house.

“The darkness of bipolar

depression made me feel like

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue…

Victoria: What are you doing up here, anyway? I thought we were all gonna meet down at a stables.

Victor: Yeah, did you get lost?

Cole: Ah, actually, I got caught up on a call to england and I came here to see if victoria and claire would like to have lunch.

Victor: That’s nice.

Claire: Works for me. Turns out grooming is really hard. I worked up an appetite. I’m actually starving.

Cole: All right.

Victoria: Yeah, that sounds lovely.

Victor: Sounds healthy, right?

Cole: That sounds great. A two-hour drive.

Victoria: All right, sure.

Cole: Let’s go.

Victoria: Daddy, do you wanna come with us?

Victor: Sweetheart, I have things to do.

Victoria: Okay.

Victor: Okay. You enjoy yourselves, okay?

Victoria: All right, we will. All right, sweetheart.

Cole: Let’s go, let’s go. I actually skipped breakfast myself. Here, after you.

Lily: Nate, audra.

Nate: Hey.

Audra: Hello, lily.

Lily: Um, we have a call with the business division. Are you gonna be joining or are you busy?

Nate: Uh, yes, I’ll be there. I was just, uh, taking a little break.

Lily: Yeah, I can see that. Well, don’t be late.

Audra: Uh, definitely not getting any job offers from her.

Nate: Lily really knows how to make a point, doesn’t she?

Audra: I mean, I can take it. Your cousin doesn’t like me.

Nate: Does it matter to you?

Audra: Not if it’s not a problem for you.

Nate: No, no. There’s only one issue I have.

Audra: What’s that?

Nate: If I, um, spoiled your appetite for lunch later, I was hoping you’d join me.

Audra: You know, you clearly need to get to know me better if you think I can be deterred by a scoop of vanilla.

Nate: So? It’s a date?

Audra: I’d be delighted.

Jack: Ashley’s not herself in what way? How did you reach that conclusion?

Traci: Alan, would you mind explaining?

Alan: Sure, um… like I said, yesterday she was charming at lunch and then we went to chancellor park and when I referred to the namesake, she evaded as if she couldn’t remember.

Jack: You’ll remember that happened with us as well when i asked how the two of you met.

Alan: Exactly. She seems to have issues with full recall of events from her past.

Jack: Could that just be a memory issue?

Alan: I don’t think so. Yesterday, she also tried to kiss me and when I resisted, she became petulant and stormed off.

Traci: And she arrived at home upset, very short with me.

Alan: Right, I followed her here. I tried to smooth things over. She wouldn’t engage, but then I witnessed a pretty profound personality shift. All of a sudden she was calm, cool, in control. She shut me down, said our friendship was over and then she left.

Traci: And neither one of us have heard from her since.

Jack: Okay, that is in line with the personality shifts we’ve witnessed. Is it possible she just felt rejected?

Alan: Well, I also had an enlightening conversation with tucker.

Jack: I would prefer we leave him out of this.

Alan: Well, I did not share any of our concerns with him despite his probing, but he did share some of his concerns. He’s also witnessed these personality shifts, but there was a specific event where ashley referred to herself in the third person.

Traci: Yes, he’s told us about that as well.

Jack: And what do you think that means?

Alan: Well, it’s becoming clear to me that we are dealing with different personas here. That ashley has created to protect herself but in different ways.

Jack: Protect herself from what?

Traci: Well, that’s the question. And I’m so afraid of what the answer might be.

Tucker: I understand you’re trying to provoke me by bringing up audra. It’s not gonna work any more than talk of a future with you is going to work. You are not gonna dissuade me from my knowledge that something is wrong with you, okay?

Ashley: What do I have to do to convince you that I’m fine? And that I mean every word I’m saying?

Tucker: I can think of one thing.

Ashley: Hm. Name it.

Tucker: See a legitimate therapist.

Ashley: I did remember, alan.

Tucker: Hey, come here. Am I speaking to ashley right now? I know it’s difficult to hear, but for me, it’s been hard to keep track lately.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey! Glad I ran into you before we have this video call.

Lily: Yeah, me too. I ran into nate and audra at the park, looking very flirty.

Devon: Really? They’re just friends, though right?

Lily: Oh, no, it seemed like more than that. As if we don’t have enough to worry about.

Devon: I don’t think you need to worry about nate’s personal life.

Lily: Really? If it’s the woman who tried to take us down with tucker?

Devon: He wasn’t involved in that.

Lily: No, ’cause he had his own scheme going on. I mean, what if they team up?

Devon: They’re not gonna do that. I don’t think that nate is dumb enough to ruin his second chance of being in the family over her. The way I see it, they knew each other when he worked at newman, and they stayed close. And he told us about them hanging out. It’s not like he’s trying to hide their relationship. So much as we don’t like the woman, if he wants to waste his time with her, it’s his business.

Lily: I don’t know, I don’t trust audra. And I don’t know if I trust nate’s instincts if he’s drawn to her. ( )

Victoria: And after a few lessons, we could probably do a longer ride. Maybe, uh, you’ll be ready by the time katie comes home.

Claire: Yeah, so my kid sister can leave me in the dust. Doesn’t she win ribbons, dressage?

Victoria: Yeah, she does. Mm-hmm. And I’m sure she’s gonna be thrilled to show off for you. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure she takes it easy on you.

Claire: Hey, dad, when you worked in the stables, what was your favorite thing about it? Dad.

Victoria: I think your father’s like a million miles away right now. We must be boring him.

Claire: Oh, that’s not possible. He finds us endlessly fascinating. Or you, at least.

Cole: No, no, no, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Uh, claire’s right, claire’s right. I just– just enjoy hearing you two talk and just seeing the smiles on your faces. So claire, so what’s next after you master horseback riding?

Claire: I would hope to get a job. If kyle had his way, I would’ve started as harrison’s nanny.

Victoria: And I would actually love nothing more. I’ve been pushing for it, actually. I think that you’re just so good with kids. You really are. And clearly, harrison adores you. You two were so cute in the park the other day with the ducks.

Claire: Yeah, it would be a dream job. I’d do it for free.

Victoria: No, well, I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, you deserve to be paid. Childcare can be very strenuous. It’s not always ice cream and ducks.

Claire: Yeah, well, I know that. And I’m sure kyle would’ve been more than generous, but I said no.

Cole: What? You just told us that that was your dream come true.

Claire: It’s not fair to summer.

Victoria: Well, I’d think that she’d want a nanny that harrison likes as much as he likes you.

Claire: Come on, mom. You know better than anyone what summer went through when harrison was missing.

Victoria: We know that. She was terrified. We all were, but everything’s back to normal now. Harrison is home. Jordan is gone.

Claire: Yes, but summer thought that I had something to do with what jordan did. And I don’t blame her. She only knows the stories she’s heard about me.

Victoria: Well, that is because she refuses to get to know you. And if she spent any time with you at all, she would see that there’s absolutely nothing to be afraid of.

Claire: And maybe that can happen in time, but I can’t push it. I think it’ll take time for all of us to realize that we’re finally safe.

Ashley: What are you even talking about? Of course, it’s me.

Tucker: Is it?

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Because lately, whenever I speak to you, I think to myself, “which ashley am I speaking to?”

Ashley: Oh, god. What is it with you people?

Tucker: No, is it whoever you are for that day.

Ashley: Oh, right. So, I just changed my mind and suddenly I’m a completely different person. Give me a break.

Tucker: This has gone on too long now. I’m not the only one who’s noticed it. That’s why your friend, alan, came to town, is it not?

Ashley: Alan said I was fine.

Tucker: Because he’s worried about you.

Tucker: No, he didn’T.

Ashley: Alan said I was fine.

Tucker: You sent him away.

Ashley: You’re right. I did send him away. You know why?

Tucker: Why?

Ashley: He wanted to do something really inappropriate with me and then I made him leave.

Tucker: No, you sent him away because you’re afraid of what he’s gonna find out about you.

Alan: I just wanna stress that this is my opinion based on observation only. She needs a– a proper diagnosis in the clinical setting.

Jack: Of course, and we appreciate any insights you can share with us.

Traci: Especially since we couldn’t get her to go see a doctor.

Jack: Ashley has had issues in the past. You know that.

Alan: Yeah, um… you said that event was different. Could there be any similarities?

Jack: Completely different. Wouldn’t you agree?

Traci: Absolutely.

Alan: And when did you first start noticing these changes in behavior?

Jack: A while after she came back from paris, after the struggle with tucker.

Traci: Ashley stayed for quite a while in paris after the fight with tucker.

Alan: It’s hard to imagine something like this happening as the result of a breakup.

Traci: Alan, I know that we’ve both said that her behavior was very different in the past incidents, but is it possible that this has something to do with the brain tumor she had? Like a recurrence?

Alan: Well, um, she certainly should have a full medical exam, including a brain scan, but I– I don’t think this is a tumor. The symptoms just don’t fit.

Jack: You really don’t think this could’ve been triggered by her marriage ending?

Alan: Well, it could’ve played a role, but no, I think it has to be something more traumatic than that.

Jack: That some larger trauma happened in paris after tucker left?

Traci: And how are we gonna find out what that is? Ashley won’t talk to any of us.

Marshalls buyers have a very

particular set of skills.

Claire: Between spending time with the kids at the hospital and harrison, I feel like I’ve found what it is I wanna do. I’ve been reading into the different schools of thought about early childhood education. It’s really fascinating. There’s so many different theories about what works best, and of course, different kids need different things, so it can take some time to find the right one.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. I mean, katie and johnny’s school is great like that. They tailor the process to each kid specifically, whereas katie has more essays, and johnny would have more project-based assignments.

Claire: Yeah, exactly, and then for younger kids, there’s the play-based approach to learning. I am seriously considering pursuing a masters in early childhood education.

Victoria: Ah, wow. So what is the play-based approach?

Claire: Okay, well, I’m oversimplifying, but basically, it’s getting kids to learn through doing, so they stay engaged because they’re having fun, and they’re using their imagination.

Jordan: He comes down here to gloat at me in all my misery, and so if you can get me out of here, I’ll leave town, and I’ll never return, okay?

[ Indistinct chatter ]

Cole: Uh, excuse me, I’ll be right back.

Claire: I’ve never felt so passionately about anything in my life.

Victoria: I just love seeing you so happy.

Cole: Michael, it’s cole. I need to see you. How soon can you meet me?

Lily: Okay, you handle the introduction and I’ll pick it up from there.

Nate: And I will cheer you on from the sidelines. Here to answer any questions. What, I’m not late?

Lily: Barely.

Nate: I’m just trying to find a work-life balance, okay? Who doesn’t need a little fresh air every now and then?

Lily: I’m sure you can understand why I don’t like the idea of you and audra getting cozy.

Nate: You act like it’s some scandal to see me spending time with her. I haven’t kept our friendship a secret. I’m not offering her a job here, okay? Look, audra’s going through a rough time and I offered her my support.

Devon: Really? Doesn’t involve tacker, does it? ‘Cause I hope she’s not trying to pull you into a battle with him.

Nate: You have nothing to worry about on any front. We’re hanging out because we enjoy each other’s company. That’s all. Okay? And as for her rough time, yes. She broke things off with tucker.

Ashley: This wasn’t the romantic reunion I was hoping for.

Tucker: Oh, well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but believe it or not, I’m acting out of concern and affection for you.

Ashley: Oh, please, just save the bs.

Tucker: No, I’m not gonna save it. The real ashley would want to get help. She would want to heal.

Ashley: God, I am so sick of you and your sanctimonious crap. Just take it and shove it.

Tucker: Stop running away from this, ashley. Listen to me. You are not safe.

Belle: You tried it your way and you failed. Now, let go.

Tucker: Hey. What is wrong? My god. Ashley, ashley.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

finn: It’s chase’s rehearsal dinner, alright? He should be able to enjoy it without wondering if he’s abandoned you. Gregory: And you of all people would know what it’s like to be abandoned before your wedding. I recall feeling great about my rehearsal dinner with jackie and then wondering where the hell you were when the wedding started. But no, by all means, son, you lecture me on proper wedding etiquette.

[ Door opens ] Hey. What are you doing home so early? We had a half-day, silly. Ah. Mm. Hi. Just wanted to make sure violet got in okay. Yeah. Thank you, mary. Thank you. Uh, well, gretchen’s in the car, so I got to run. But see you two tomorrow? Sure. Yes. See you tomorrow. Bye.

[ Door closes ] Maybe we can take my bouquet out for a walk. Flowers love fresh air. And we can tell grandpa to come, too, if we don’t go too far. Yeah. We, um… yeah, we can go for a walk, sweetheart, but, um… come over here. I just — I want to talk to you about something. Okay, but shouldn’t I tell grandpa to get ready? We can’t wait too long in case of the rain. Grandpa isn’t here, sweetheart. Is he at the doctor’s? No. Grandpa isn’t with us anymore. Grandpa passed away last night. I haven’t turned sonny in. Because you don’t intend to or because you haven’t had time yet? I haven’t decided yet. Why? Because kristina and I — we don’t want you to report it. What the hell’s going on with you, dante? You know the history here. Michael and dex — they conspired to take me down. Now, I didn’t take the proper steps to contain it. I let it go. You want a — you want a medal, dad, for not killing someone? That’s not — that’s not what I’m saying. I left dex alone, and look what’s happened. Even more betrayal. He’s hiding behind a badge in the office with anna talking about my business or whatever he’s talking about. He’s still trying to take me down, and you refuse to see it, son. No, I think the only thing I can see really clearly right now… is you. What does that mean? This isn’t some isolated incident, dad. You have a — a pattern, a history with violence. And I’m not talking about what happened with cyrus. This goes back — you and I both know — a long time. What are you accusing me of? Okay. You’re right.

[ Laughs ] Whether the robes buy this or not, I want to stand in front of them and make my argument. Testify! Testify. Welcome back.

[ Sighs ] There’s a reason why you win all your cases. Hmm? You’re not just pretty. You’re very persuasive. Oh. Don’t forget either of those things. Now let’s go win this. Alright. I have to grab something first. What is this hoodoo? It’s from gregory to bring me luck. Ooh, let’s hope it works. Good news! I spoke to monica, and she is all for it. I’m not surprised. We have plenty of room. Have you warned him about my mother? Oh, about her irrational bias against those of us who were blessed enough to grow up in bensonhurst? No, not yet. You know she loves you, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, I do. I also know that tracy loves to complain about me. And olivia. And I’m sure she’s gonna complain about him, too. But olivia and I — we’re adults, and, you know, he’s just a kid. You said he was 21. 21 is still a kid to me. Well, maybe he’ll win my mother over. She loves music. As long as it’s not eddie maine who’s playing it. Can I get you anything? You want some water? I’m not thirsty. Announcer: This is the final boarding call for flight number 384 to rome. Dad was so happy yesterday. He was so full of life. I thought that… I thought that we would have so much more time. I did, too. And there were so many things that I wanted to say to him, and now he’s just…

[ Sniffles ] He’s never gonna know. He knew, chase. I promise he knew.

Boarding for flight 384 to rome has now closed.


This isn’t just about you. It’s about me. I’ve looked the other way so many times for so long.

[ Sighs ] It’s embarrassing, really, like… not admitting who you are and who you’ve always been. But, uh… I’m done with that now. I’m not gonna do it anymore. Too many people are getting hurt. And if you don’t do something to fix that, it’s just gonna get worse. Do you think I should turn sonny in? I think that that’s up to you. You were attacked. It’s your decision. And you have no opinion on it? That’s a first. Okay, I’m — I’m tired of telling people what they should and shouldn’t do and giving them ultimatums, alright? It hasn’t exactly worked out for me in the past. Dex, I-I know I have no right to ask anything else from you. Right, but you are asking me. But it’s not like when I worked for sonny, okay? I’m a police cadet now. I have direct knowledge of a crime. Look, what if somebody else gets hurt and me turning sonny and could have stopped it from happening? I’m not asking you to do this to protect sonny, believe me. Look, sonny deserves to pay for what he did to you. I’m asking you for kristina’s sake because if you accuse sonny, she will have to be a witness, she’ll have to testify against her own father. And she’s already an emotional wreck from all of this. And she’s pregnant, dex. I — [ Sighs ] I’m just worried it’s too much for her. When is it too much for me? I can’t deny that what your dad did last night scares me. Yeah, I know. It scares me, too. I’m not as afraid of sonny as I am of what all of this is doing to you. You’re the one I care about here. I hate seeing you in this much pain. Besides, I’m the last one who should be throwing stones at anyone’s parents. My mother gave you every reason to run from our relationship. But you didn’T. So I won’t, either. You’re not your father, kristina, no more than I’m my mother. I don’t even know who he is anymore. I saw him attacking dex, and I — after hearing him scream those threats, I just feel like he’s a completely different person. Grandpa — he wasn’t in any pain. He just — he went to sleep and — and didn’t wake up. That can happen? Oh, no, not to you and me. You know, grandpa — he was real sick. It was his als? Yeah. That’s probably what it was. They say — they said his — his heart just stopped beating. But his heart was fine yesterday. I know. You know, sweetheart, sometimes when people are sick inside, we just don’t know. But I want you to think about how — how amazing grandpa was yesterday, how much fun he had, and think about how lucky we are to have gotten to spend all this time with him, right? No, I want grandpa to still be here. Grandpa! Grandpa!


Where is he? Hey.

[ Sighs ] The paramedics — they, um… they took grandpa away.

[ Crying ] He didn’t get to say goodbye.

[ Voice breaking ] I know, sweetheart. You know, if grandpa had known it was gonna be the last time he was gonna see you, he would have hugged you so tight.

[ Both crying ] Gregory: You take after your dad. When Finn was a boy, he always had his nose in some book. You’re funny, grandpa. Everyone knows you can’t draw with your nose.

[ Laughs ] You’re so much smarter than I am. The wisdom of youth. What’s youth, grandpa? It’s everything you are, sweetheart, and everything old guys like me long to be.

[ Sniffling ]

[ Exhales heavily ] No. Life is so beautiful. But sometimes it’s cruel and it’s not fair. Life is so beautiful that it hurts sometimes. I love you. I love you, too. You okay? Not really. I just wish I could have gone straight from the airport to finn’s place. Me too. But finn wanted some time to tell violet about gregory when it was just the two of them, so… I don’t blame him. I just… I know. I know. I know. Do you know what? We’re gonna have to tell them everything at some point, so we might as well get it over with. Are you ready for this? I’m not sure I’ll ever be ready, but waiting isn’t gonna make it any easier. Poor ned.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I bet you tracy would support your musical side had brook lynn not decided to follow in our mutual footsteps. Thank you. If brook lynn just fell in line and lived her life the way my mother wanted, my mother would never respect her. Mm. And brook lynn would be miserable. That, too. My mother will never admit it, but she loves the way brook lynn stands up to her. Oh, I love it, too. Mm.

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Door opens ] Hey. Hey. What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on a plane, sipping champagne, watching another little plane on the screen in front of you get closer and closer to rome? Okay, what’s the matter? Was your flight canceled? Now that you have nearly rubbed gregory’s good luck charm to shreds, do you feel its luck coursing through your veins? Not if luck and anxiety feel the same way. Fine. Well, then put it away. Take a deep breath because you don’t need luck. You have a brilliant attorney pleading your case. Perhaps you know her name — alexis davis? Who do you think is our esteemed colleague? I have no idea. But something about him looks familiar. Bailiff: All rise.


[ Sighs heavily ] Are you okay? Are you?

[ Sighs ] I’m very sad. But I know it — it had to be hard for you

[Sighs] To go into grandpa’s room just now. It was for me. He was supposed to be in there. I know. But if grandpa’s not here with us, where is he? What happens to grandpa now?

[ Sighs ] Don’t lay a finger on dex heller. In fact, don’t go anywhere near him, dad. Because if something happens to him, everyone’s gonna know it was you. That’s how you’re helping me? By telling me to hide from someone? Keep my mouth shut like some coward? It’s not about being a coward, dad. Mm. It’s about being smart. You better hope this kid doesn’t press charges because if he does, you can’t make amends to your family from behind bars. And your freedom now rests on the shoulders — the decision that a guy’s gonna make that you threatened to kill. My own son is forsaking me. Oh, forsaking you? If I was forsaking you, I’d be taking you down to jail right now in cuffs. I’m trying to save you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I am. You know, I think the problem you’re having is I’ve just kind of reached my limit with you, okay? I am done protecting you. You committed a crime, and now you have to face the consequences of that crime, alright? Okay? I hate that I asked michael to fix things with dex. That was so unfair to him. It’s pretty clear that your brother loves you and will do whatever he can to help you. I know, and I love michael, too, but you would never be able to tell by the position I just put him in. Alright, you’re being too hard on yourself. I wish. I hate it, but there’s really only one way for michael to “fix” things, and that’s by convincing dex not to press charges against my dad. I came to port charles because you hired me to take sonny down. What happened last night is further proof that your first instinct was right. Look, sonny is not just a danger to his enemies. He’s a danger to his loved ones, too. And we are never gonna get a better chance to stop him than right now. Maybe, but like I said bef– okay, michael, there’s no maybe. He’s right. Sonny absolutely deserves to be punished for what he’s done. The question is, does kristina? And does her baby? I guess you’re not afraid to share your opinion after all. Hey, I’m thinking about you, too. Because if you press charges and then kristina’s a witness and they interview her, is the stress gonna be too much for her and the baby? I know you, and you’re gonna feel terrible if it is. I’m not interested in telling you what to do. I can only ask — please don’t file charges against sonny.


There you are. I was worried. You barely said two words last night, and you were gone by the time avery went to school. She missed her dad this morning. Hey, sonny, please don’t shut me out. I’m — I’m here. Just… kristina saw something, got the wrong idea. She’s one of the last people that believed in me, and now I lost her. So, did you see sonny at the wedding? Yes. I did my best to ignore him. He iced me out at the church. Not that I was expecting anything different, but… I was watching him at the reception with brook lynn’s family, and they were all over him. I mean, they adored him. He was charming. He was flashing his dimples. He was — he was smiling and flirting with the ladies and making jokes with the guys. And I was just… I was watching him, and I was just thinking, “there he is. You know, I know that guy. That’s — that’s my father.” I remember feeling that way about him, thinking that he was so kind and empathetic and [Scoffs] Thinking how lucky I was to have him as a stepfather. It’s not that he’s lying, though. I mean, the… all that charm, the dimples, all that stuff, the love — that’s real. But so is the ugliness, the — the brutality, the rage. He used to be better at hiding it and controlling it. That’s why mom and I wanted dex to stay around dad — to keep an eye on him, to protect him from himself. Yeah, well, now dex needs protection from sonny. Hey, speaking of dex, I saw you two. You know, you were dancing at the reception. I know you waited for him afterwards and it didn’t — actually, the whole night didn’t go as planned. But…are you, uh — are you two back together? Well, in a few days, sweetheart, there will be something called a funeral. And that’s where all of grandpa’s family and his friends will get together to say goodbye to him. But how do we say goodbye if he’s not here? Right. Well, we — we say it in our thoughts and we say it in our prayers. Or if you want, you can say it out loud. It’s different for everyone. It’s whatever feels best for you. But when we say goodbye, does grandpa go to heaven? Is he with the angels? Yeah. Grandpa’s with the angels.

[ Knock on door ] Ohh. Hi. Chase called me. I’m so sorry. My dad’s sad, too. I think he needs a hug. I’m sure.

[ Door closes ] On behalf of my client, alexis davis, and myself, I would like to thank the court for hearing our petition today. We come before the court to appeal ms. Davis’ disbarment and ask that she be returned to the bar and allowed to practice law in new york state once again. And should you accept her appeal, the state and the people in it will only be the better for it. Thank you. With all due respect to my colleague, ms. Miller, the state of new york and its citizenry will be better off without ms. Davis, a proven liar, abusing their trust again. And what is the name of the party opposing ms. Davis’ appeal? Fergus byrne. I am opposing her appeal. My brother, neil, was a casualty of ms. Davis’ utter and complete disregard for the law.


The church, the music, everything was just beautiful. There were people there from the old neighborhood that I grew up with, you know, like the cerullos and the falconeris, mostly. Church was packed. I look over. I see dex. What? Yeah. He had no right to be there. He knew it. Then he looks over at me with this little smirk, like he knew he was getting away with it. Why would he do that? ‘Cause he’s a punk kid with no respect for anyone or anything. What did you do? I — I punched him a few times. More than a few times. But he deserved it. And then jason stopped me from doing something really bad that I was gonna really regret. I’m sure dex got the message. Guys like dex — they never get the message. If michael’s willing to ask dex to drop the charges, maybe it’s a good thing. You on my dad’s side? Would have lost that bet. Okay, I’m on your side first and always, but if I’m honest, I’m worried about what the effects of sonny’s possible arrest and prosecution would have on you. You’re very pregnant and already under a lot of pressure. I know. Seeing my dad attack dex that way didn’t make it any better. It’d be worse if you had to go up in court and testify against him. My god, I didn’t even think about that part of it. I have been so focused on what would happen to my dad, I didn’t even… that’s why michael agreed to talk to dex. It wasn’t for my dad’s sake. It was for me. Michael already knows you have a lot to think about with the baby. On top of the already complicated history you have with your dad, I’m guessing he’s putting himself out there because he wants to spare you. That’s a pretty amazing brother thing to do. I know, but I just feel so bad. Michael’s going out on a limb, and I — what? I-I love my dad. No one’s asking you to stop loving sonny. It’s not like you’re turning off a faucet. I know, but he shouldn’t be allowed to get away with attacking people and threatening to kill them just because I love my dad. I don’t think he should, either. What’re you doing? What I have to do.

[ Breathes deeply ] Hey. It’s kristina. I’m at the metro court. How soon can you be here? No, dex and i are not back together. Oh, sorry. Forget that I asked. No. I mean, why wouldn’t you ask? I’m asking myself the same question. I’m the one who broke up with dex, even though I still was in love with him. He just did something that I couldn’t accept, and I thought that that was the end of it. But it’s not? I just hate couples that keep breaking up and getting back together. You know? It’s like they’re terminally indecisive or — or they’re just addicted to the drama of it all. God, it just reminds me of mom and sonny’s relationship, you know? Every time she got rid of him, she would go running back. Not saying that dex and sonny are the same. They could not be more different. Oh, understood. My point is, it’s just not the kind of relationship that I wanted. You know? And when I broke up with dex, I really meant it. But then he radically changed his life, you know? I mean, he’s gonna become a cop. And at — at first, I thought it was to make amends with me. I know I sound like an egomaniac. You’re saying that dex didn’t apply to the police academy to impress you? Because that seems like the obvious explanation. Violet, can I ask you for a favor? Sure. Aiden has been begging me for a friendship bracelet. Can you make him one? Definitely. Thank you. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. But it’s obvious you’ve been drinking. So I’m gonna take violet home with me, and you can get yourself to a meeting, okay? No. Not okay. Violet’s staying with me. And I don’t need to get myself to a meeting. Finn, this isn’t just about you — my father’s dead. And you must be in so much pain — I stood right over there, and I watched two strangers wheel out my dead dad. Please, just let me help you.

[ Scoffs ] Nothing can help what I’m feeling. Nothing.


so he — he’s taunting me. You know what I mean? He’s not — I mean, he didn’t say anything, but, you know, he’s still taunting me. Jason grabbed me, and then kristina showed up. I don’t know what she heard, what — and then she took off without… I wasn’t able to explain anything to her. I’m so sorry. Kristina was the only one who… who really, really believed in me. And every time she would look up at me, she would smile. This time when I finally caught up with her… …my little girl was afraid of me. Come on in.

[ Door closes ] Looks bad. I’ve had worse. Never at a wedding, though. I-I don’t even know what to say, dex. Um, I — “sorry” doesn’t even begin to cut it. Thank you for even agreeing to come here. Can I get you anything? Aspirin? Ice? No. No, thank you. Joss stayed with me at the E.R. While I waited to get stitched up. Josslyn was right about my dad. She — she can say “I told you so” for, well, the rest of my life now. That’s the last thing that she wants to do. There’s no victory lap when it comes to being right about sonny. Right. Yeah, I know. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be flippant about it. I, uh — I’ve… I’ve had blinders on when it came to my dad. Everyone saw that but me. I wanted to think of him as the man i knew him to be, not who he was, not — not in his entirety. For what it’s worth, when I worked for sonny, I also saw what I wanted to see. And I was just as wrong. I know my brother asked you not to press charges. Michael did that because of me, because I asked him to. But I shouldn’t have. Why not? Because you are entitled to justice. And if you choose to pursue it, I want you to know that I will testify on your behalf against my father. Dex really believes in what he’s doing. He wants to be a cop. He wants to wear that uniform, to protect and serve. And I think he’s gonna make a really good cop, like dante. He’s gonna help people. And I — I think that he would really like it if we got back together. But if for some reason we don’t, you know, dex is gonna be fine. He respects himself. And some other girl would get him, and I’d be kicking myself. You know, there is an easy solution to this. You know, you can just tell dex that you want to try again. Michael, I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet. What i do know is that I’m done changing my mind. Dex deserves better. Okay. You know, I’m gonna guess, though, dex would tell you that there is nobody better than you.

[ Sighs ] You’re my big brother. You have to say nice things to me. It doesn’t make them any less true. Your honors, mr. Byrne just admitted to being the brother of the late dr. Neil byrne, who was a factor in my client’s disbarment. This is clearly a conflict of interest. My brother was much more than a factor in your case, though I shouldn’t be surprised that you’ve reduced him to such. My brother, neil byrne, would be alive today if it weren’t for alexis davis. Your honor, is absolutely — your honors, I have no problem with mr. Burns’ role here today. In fact, I welcome it. I’ve never pleaded my own case in court before, but I intend to do so today, so it seems fitting, maybe even necessary, that mr. Byrne have a front-row seat to it. I am so sorry, chase. Ohh. Your father was a wonderful man. And he was a wonderful father. You’re proof of that. Every moment I spent in his company was pure joy. Thank you. Baby, you okay? I’m so sorry, chase. Um, where’s my grandmother? She went down to the stables. She was going out for a ride. I’ll go down there and see if she’s left yet. Okay. Chase, I’ll walk you down. I can’t believe he’s gone. I mean, I — I knew it was gonna happen someday, but — I know, but someday wasn’t supposed to be now. Well, you know what? Sometimes god has a plan for us, you know? And it —

[ Sighs ] I guess it would just be nice sometimes to get a little heads-up. Yeah. You know, because of you and chase and that beautiful wedding, gregory died the happiest man on the planet, right? Yeah. He was also one of the bravest. Yeah. Yeah, he was. The way he officiated your wedding. It was with so much courage and determination. He had so much strength, you know? And he used so much of it to get through that ceremony. It’s like he just… didn’t have any left. Oh, baby.

[ Both crying ] Chase is the one who needs holding. He just wanted a little more time with his dad. I know. I know. But you know what? You’re here to hold chase now, okay? Yeah. And to let him know that he is not alone. You all know what eased the pain for a few minutes? One drink. One — one drink. You know, I think I have the right to do whatever it takes to get me through this day. If that’s how you choose to treat your pain, then I can’t stop you. But I will not let you get drunk with that little girl in this apartment.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Deacon was crazy to get involved with sheila in the first place, and now he’s going to marry her?

Hope: As soon as he can.

Ridge: Your dad has lost the plot completely.

Brooke: This is terrible. You weren’t able to talk him out of it?

Hope: Well, mom, he already proposed, and she accepted, and they’re planning a wedding.

Steffy: What morons are gonna go and watch that train wreck of a wedding? Like, doesn’t deacon realize he’s being scammed? She’s not a new person. She’s not this, like, well-adjusted person. My god.Steffy: What morons are gonna go and watch that train wreck of a wedding? Like, doesn’t deacon realize he’s being scammed? She’s not a new person. She’s not this, like, well-adjusted person. My god.

Hope: Well, my… it was my dad’s idea, steffy, and he loves her.

Ridge: What? That makes it worse.

Brooke: Wow. Sheila’s snowed him completely.

Steffy: Well, sheila can use deacon, but she is not going to use finn. I’m not gonna let her try to lure him back into her life.

Sheila: I know that you care for me, finn. And you saved my life. Twice.

Deacon: You ran into that warehouse like a damn superhero.

Finn: I mean, I’m just, I’m glad we were able to find you in time.

Sheila: Well, I’m never gonna forget the look on your face when I came to, and the beautiful things that you said to me, and how thrilled you were that I was alive.

Deacon: Still is. Right, man?

Finn I’m– I– it’s good to see you recovering. And– and making plans for the future.

Sheila: Okay, look. Deacon is not trying to put you on the spot, sweetheart. We know that this isn’t simple for you. And I– I’m not trying to make trouble for– for you and steffy, and I keep saying that over and over again because I truly mean that. But it would mean the world to me if you could be there for me on my wedding day.

Brooke: Sheila’s brought so much chaos and violence into our lives. Why would deacon want to be with somebody like that?

Hope: I– I told you.

Ridge: No, she said they’re in love, right? What is wrong with you? Deacon is being played the same way my dad was being played.

Brooke: She can’t be trusted.

Steffy: Yes. And I don’t trust anyone who thinks she can be.

Hope: My– my dad believes that they will be happy together.

Steffy: You know what? Let him try. I don’t give a damn. As long as sheila and anyone who supports her stays the hell away from finn.

Sheila: Our wedding just won’t be the same if you’re not there.

Deacon: I thought I was putting the guy on the spot.

Finn: I support your relationship. It’s obvious deacon is devoted to you, and devotion is important in a marriage.

Sheila: Yeah. But it’s something that you can’t do because your wonderful, uh, over-controlling wife won’t allow it?

Finn: I’m happy for you, mom. Wish you and deacon all the best.

Sheila: But, baby, I want you to be a part of that happiness. To– to– to join us. Is that too much to ask for you to dig into that deep, generous heart of yours that’s so big? To just say yes? Say that you will be deacon’s best man? Is that– is that too much for me to ask? I– I mean, we want you to be a part of our wedding. If you put your foot down,

Brooke: I understand you wanting to support your father, but in this case…

Ridge: You should just stay away from him. And sheila.

Steffy: That’s what finn’s gonna do.

Brooke: And hope is not gonna try to talk him out of it.

Steffy: I don’t want finn to even think about that woman.

Ridge: And deacon shouldn’t do that either, but that’s not gonna happen, is it?

Hope: He’s committed to her.

Brooke: Honey, if you put your foot down, maybe he’ll reconsider.

Hope: Mom, I’ve cut dad out of my life already, and he still wanted to see sheila.

Brooke: He’s put your family in danger. What about beth? You don’t want to expose her to sheila.

Hope: No, of course not. And I will always do everything I can to protect the children. That would never–

Steffy: No, my children will never be around sheila. Look, if deacon is foolish enough to marry that woman, I don’t care. My focus is my husband and my kids. He knows to stay away from that… psychopath.

Hope: So you gave him an ultimatum?

Steffy: You’re damn right I gave him an ultimatum. Like I said, finn knows to stay away from her. And if deacon knows what’s good for him, he should stay away from her too.

Hope: So you’ve convinced finn not to see sheila again?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I don’t care if sheila’s his biological mother. I don’t care that he tried to save her. His loyalty and commitment are to me.

Deacon: I think we should give finn a minute to think, you know, not push.

Sheila: I don’t mean to, it– it would just be so perfect to have you at our wedding.

Finn: I– I appreciate being asked.

Deacon: See, that’s something.

Finn: And look, I– I realize that… you’d like more.

Sheila: Look, I’M… I’m just so thankful that you don’t see me as the monster everybody else does. I mean, I know I’ve… I’ve done terrible things. Things that I regret. And I never… I never want to go back to that again. No, I’ve been working really hard on myself. And deacon sees it. I know you do too, finn. I think steffy would feel the same. Baby, it wasn’t that long ago I saved steffy’s mother’s life. Taylor and I on the roof. The hospital. I mean, she was dangling over the edge. I’m the one that pulled her to safety. I did the same with kelly at the beach.

Finn: I– I got distracted and she… wandered away.

Sheila: Kelly, no!

Finn: I’m thankful you were there, because if you hadn’t been…

Deacon: Sheila’s not a threat to your family, finn. I mean, she risked her life to stop sugar from harming steffy and the kids.

Sheila: I would’ve done anything. Sacrifice my– my life, my freedom. I’d do anything to protect your precious family. No!

[ Sugar growling ] I only wish I could’ve spared steffy from what happened that night.

Finn: Steffy and the kids are fine.

Sheila: Just this one thing. Please, I– deacon and i already talked about it. It’s going to be simple. You know, maybe at the beach. Very simple. Come on. Surely you can talk steffy into just this one thing. It would mean so much to me. I mean, really, you are the reason that– that deacon and I are– are back together again, baby. I love you so much. Please. Just do this for me.

Finn: Like I said before. Okay? I want you to be happy. And I wish you the best. I just– I can’t be at your wedding.

Sheila: Because of steffy.

Finn: You… deserve a beautiful ceremony. I’m sorry I can’t be a part of it.

Sheila: Because of steffy.

Finn: No. Because of me. My commitment is to my wife and kids. Steffy will always be my priority. I will always put her first. But look, enjoy the wedding. Okay? And… good luck at the ceremony.

Ridge: But why do we have another– it’s the same thing. Do you want to meet on the same thing again? Okay. What? No, I can’t– can you reschedule it? Fine. No, it’s perfect. Thank you. Great. The joys of running a company. Sorry. Where were we?

Brooke: Uh, honey, there’s no middle ground where sheila’s concerned. You do understand that, don’t you?

Ridge: And her coming back from the dead doesn’t change that.

Brooke: And you can’t start seeing sheila the way deacon does.

Hope: Oh, mom, no. I would never be able to forgive her for the horrible things that she has done or forget the many ways she has tried to hurt people that I care about. But I also can’t ignore the fact that we now know it wasn’t sheila who was at the cliff house that night. It wasn’t sheila that tried to harm steffy. She actually fought sugar to try to protect steffy and the kids. I can’t ignore that.

Brooke: You can’t because you’re a kind, caring, compassionate person. But honey, you cannot give sheila any of your consideration.

Hope: But, mom, don’t you understand? This isn’t about sheila for me. Look, I’ve already lost enough. And I don’t want to lose my relationship with dad. And so I’m just trying to maintain some kind of bond with him. So…

Brooke: Yeah, well, that won’t really happen if he’s married to sheila.

Hope: There’s something else I didn’t tell you and I just, I didn’t want to mention it in front of steffy.

Ridge: Mention what in front of steffy?

[ Hope clearing throat ] It’s about the wedding.

[ Brooke sighs ]

Brooke: Don’t tell me he wants you to be there.

Hope: He wants me to be sheila’s maid of honor.

Sheila: Well, it was a beautiful idea.

Deacon: This is my fault. I’m sorry. I thought it was worth a try. Babe, I’m so sorry.

[ Sheila sighs ]

Steffy: Good night, my loves. I love you.

[ Sighs ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hi. This is a nice surprise. Come here. I– I just put the kids down.

Finn: Oh, yeah? I thought I’d be back in time to tuck them in.

Steffy: They’re, like, literally falling asleep and I’d love some time with you right now. It’d be nice. What’s going on with you?

Finn: Oh, just… a complicated day. Something I had to deal with.

Steffy: What, a new case?

Finn: Sheila and deacon. This skinny pop is amazing.

Hope: I– I– I haven’t ruled it o

Ridge: This is crazy. I– you can’t be serious. This can’t be right.

Brooke: Deacon expects you to be sheila’s maid of honor.

Hope: Well, he didn’t assume. He did ask.

Ridge: Okay. So he asked and then you turned him down immediately.

Brooke: Hope?

Hope: I– I– I haven’t ruled it out.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Ridge: Wow.

Brooke: This is what steffy was talking about and I didn’t want to believe her. You cannot let deacon influence you like this, honey. You can’t be embracing sheila.

Ridge: This is not acceptable. You know that.

Hope: Look, I am not embracing sheila or inviting her into my life.

Ridge: She doesn’t need an invitation. She needs a little crack to slither into and that’s what she’s doing.

Hope: I would just be making an appearance so that I could be there for my dad.

Ridge: Do you really think that’s how she’s gonna see it? It’s not.

Brooke: Honey. Sheila carter’s maid of honor? Are you kidding me? No. No. No way. No.

Hope: I was afraid that you would react this way, but mom, please understand and hear me when I say this. This is not about sheila for me. This is about my relationship with my dad.

Sheila: Hey, you didn’t get my hopes up. I did. I– I really thought finn might say yes.

Deacon: He wanted to.

[ Sheila scoffs ]

Sheila: I guess that should be some consolation. It just– I got so caught up in the moment. I– I could just envision him standing there, next to you as your best man. My handsome son that I am so incredibly proud of, sharing one of the most important days of my life. Wait a second.

Deacon: This is gonna still be one of the most important days of your life. I’ll make it more important. You want jugglers? I’ll get you fire eaters. You want a pony? I’ll get you a fire-eating pony. How about that?

Sheila: I don’t want any of that. No.

Deacon: I just… I just want this to be everything that you’ve dreamed it would be.

Sheila: Oh, it is though. I am finally marrying a man that truly loves me for me.

Deacon: I got an idea. I’m gonna get a sky writer and I’m gonna write, “deacon and sheila forever.” How about that, huh?

Sheila: You’re being crazy. I just hate seeing you heartbroken like this, you know? And I know you are and I just– I want you to know you’re not alone and you’re not gonna be alone ever again.

Sheila: You’re amazing.

Deacon: Yeah. Probably could have been a lot more amazing trying to get finn to stand up for me.

Sheila: It wasn’t you. That was steffy. I mean she’d rather see finn miserable than…

[ Sheila sighs ] I don’t know, than feel differently about me.

Deacon: Finn will be all right. So will you.

Sheila: It’s just, you know, I… I remember the look on his face. How joyous it was when he found me in that warehouse and realized that I was alive and I just– I didn’t feel that today. He was warm, he was kind, but he was distant. Because he had to be. No. It’s steffy. She’s never gonna allow it. I don’t think she’s ever gonna think I’m worthy of my son’s love.

Steffy: Finn, I thought sheila wasn’t gonna be an issue for us anymore.

Finn: That’s why I wanted to tell you what happened today.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: Well, first, you should know, sheila and deacon are engaged.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I know. Hope already told me.

Finn: Well, they want to get married as soon as possible.

Steffy: Okay, well, they better not send an invitation here. Well, steffy, deacon asked me to be his best man.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Well, I didn’t accept. That’s why I went to the restaurant today. I wanted to tell him no in person.

Steffy: Oh, my god. And then sheila showed up.

[ Steffy chuckling ]

Steffy: Yeah, of course she did. She’s just looking for any opportunity to reel you in. Undermine our relationship. I bet she begged you to change your mind.

Finn: Well, but I told her the same thing I told deacon. I can’t be at their wedding. My commitment and loyalty are to you and our family.

Steffy: Yeah, it gives her another reason to hate me even more.

Finn: No, no, no. No. Hey… this was my own choice. You’re my world. I mean, nothing comes before you, kelly, and haynes. Never forget that, sweetheart. Never forget how much I love you.
