TV Interview!

 

"Rule Breakers" actors Nikohl Boosheri and Amber Afzail with activists Roya Mahboob and Elaha Mahboob of "Rule Breakers" movie from Angel Studios.

Interview with Nikohl Boosheri and Amber Afzail and with activists/writers Roya Mahboob and Elaha Mahboob from the film “Rule Breakers” by Suzanne 2/13/25

This is a truly inspiring story that everyone should watch. It’s based on the real story of how Aghani entrepeneur Roya Mahboob taught young women in Afghanistan and put together a female robotics team that entered in world-wide robotics competitions for students during war and oppression in Afghanistan.  Besides the drama, it has moments of fun, too, and you’ll be cheering on the women, no matter what. I enjoyed speaking to two of the actresses: Nikohl Boosheri (who played Mahboob) and Amber Afzail, who played Esin (one of the young women), and real-life heroines Roya Mahboo, and her sister, Elaha, who co-wrote the movie.  Usually, I only interview actors, producers, etc. but this is one of the few times I’ve interviewed the real-life people whose story has been brought to life.  It’s always fascinating.  I have to say that all of these women are beautiful, inside and out.  Don’t miss the movie, which premieres today, Friday, March 7, in theaters everywhere.

Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, Amber Afzali discovered her passion for acting at an early age. After moving to Southern California with her family when she was eight, Afzali’s parents enrolled her in acting classes to help her overcome her shyness. It didn’t take long for Afzali’s natural talent to shine through and, when her teacher presented her with an award for best commercial skit, her confidence began to flourish. While she loved the creative freedom that performing afforded her, Afzali soon found it difficult to balance the demands of acting classes with her school work and made the decision to focus on her education as she pursued her dream of attending an Ivy League University. She channeled her energy into academics and other pursuits including serving as school president and in student government, among many other activities. After graduation, her Ivy League dreams came true when she enrolled at The University of Pennsylvania to study Political Science with an emphasis in International Relations. It wasn’t until the COVID-19 pandemic forced Afzali to return to California and continue her studies remotely, that she began to realize her creative spark was missing. As the world began to reopen, she sought out a local acting class and once again found her love for performing. With her passion reignited, Afzali decided to seriously pursue a career in acting which would ultimately lead to an audition that would change her life forever.

Her big break came when she went on her first audition after returning to acting and landed a lead role in the upcoming Angel Studios film Rule Breakers. The movie chronicles the inspiring true story of the first all-girls robotics team from Afghanistan founded by Roya Mahboob, which would defy cultural expectations and go on to compete in competitions around the world. Afzali stars as Esin, a member of the team, alongside a talented cast including Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Nikohl Boosheri, and Ali Fazal just to name a few.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

Kyle. You meeting someone for lunch? I just grabbed a quick bite to eat before I head back to the office. I’m getting mine to go. You should have texted me. I would have grabbed it for you. I mean, we do sort of live together again. Right. One big, happy family at the Athletic Club. Harrison is sure enjoying it. Spending one night in my suite and the next in yours is like having a slumber party every night. How much longer are the renovations on the Abbott house gonna take? Not too much longer, I hope. I’ll be glad when it’s finished and we can get home. Have you heard any news about Phyllis? No, Not since that one phone call from the burner phone. I’ve been trying to convince myself not to worry. Trying to convince myself that everything’s gonna be okay. But I can’t deny how odd this whole thing is. Because she hasn’t called again? Yeah. I mean, if she really is just on a business trip, why hasn’t she replaced her phone by now? That’s a good point. It’s just after everything, with Heather and Mom in the hospital, she knows how worried we would be. And I don’t think that she would put us through that nightmare, you know, at least not intentionally. It just makes me feel like… maybe something really bad really did happen. Hey. [Summer sniffles] AMY: I mean, I can hardly believe it. I feel like I finally made a connection with my son again. That’s wonderful, Amy. Exactly what we were hoping for. Now, come on. I’m not deluded that, you know, everything is suddenly perfect. But…we reminisced, you know, cried about the past. I mean, we talked about the misunderstanding between us, pain and grief that we both felt over the years as a result. It…

Sounds intense.

Yeah. But we share good memories, too. It just seems that… [exhales] It might be that he is willing to give me the benefit of the doubt, you know, and maybe even try to find his way to forgiveness. What more could you ask for? Ah, there is one more thing. He did speak about getting to know you better, too. Well, um, I can’t tell you how happy I am to hear all this, Amy. And relieved. You and me both. Especially considering, ooh, how much anger he carried along with him when we lost Jackson. I didn’t know what to expect. His first reaction to being tracked down? It wasn’t positive. I expected as much. I kept a lot of secrets from him that he suddenly had to process. True, but he’s been pretty mysterious himself. I wouldn’t have been surprised if he’d left Genoa City and we never heard from him again. Mysterious? [chuckles] Why do you say that? Did you learn something about Damian that I don’t know? Hello, Lily. Always good to run into you. Damian. Damian Kane, this is my brother, Devon Winters. Yes. The famous Devon Winters. Nice to meet you. Good to meet you, too. I don’t know about this famous stuff. Well, you know, as soon as I thought I was being offered a position at Winters, Inc., I did my research. I wanted to know more about the company, more about you and your cousin. And I gotta say, your success is quite impressive. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that compliment. And for the record, I wasn’t aware of Nate’s offer until after the fact. I’m not surprised, since the job was bogus to begin with. But, hey, there’s no reason for me to hold any of that against you. Well, good. Do you mind if I ask you a question then? Yeah. Feel free. I have nothing to hide. Yeah? You sure about that? ‘Cause last I checked, your name isn’t Aristotle Dumas, which means you don’t own any of the companies that you claim to own. I did learn something about Damian, and it’s something you need to know. Okay. Lily did some investigating on her own. Well, a deeper dive. I’m almost afraid to ask. What did she find out? Damian doesn’t actually own Danglar and Monte Cristo. It turns out they’re really owned by a man named Aristotle Dumas. And who is he? No one knows, really. Dumas is known by reputation in certain circles, but keeps a low profile. Some people believe it’s a front name for a conglomerate. At the very least, this person or entity has gone to great lengths to make it seem like Damian owns these two companies when, in fact, he’s just the CEO. Well, on one hand, I’m relieved to hear this. I was worried about how Damian got enough money to buy these companies in so little time. But on the other hand? On the other hand, it’s just odd that he would agree to be a front for this Dumas person. [sighs] What did my son get himself into? I have to wonder, too. Did you ask Damian about it? I only found out last night while you two were at dinner. [clears throat] But… we shouldn’t worry just yet. There are plenty of reasons a reclusive mogul like Dumas would set his businesses up this way. We shouldn’t automatically assume the worst. If you say so.

You’re skeptical?

Yeah. I’m a mother. I will always worry about my son. But you’re right. Until we get all the information, I’m just gonna have faith that everything is gonna be okay. And from what I can tell, you know, Damian is doing quite well for himself.

True.

Yeah. And your dinner with him last night went better than we could have imagined. Yes. I also have some more good news for you. [chuckles] Don’t tell me. I won the lottery. I hope so. Remember my oncologist friend from Chicago I told you about? Mm-hmm. Well, she cleared her schedule and has agreed to come see you today. Today? She’s gone over your medical records and wants to discuss treatment options. Think you feel up for it? I am up for anything and everything that is going to give me more hope. Oh, I see the investigation continued even after they tracked me down. Well, that was me. I felt compelled to investigate you further. It’s funny. You didn’t mention that at dinner. Well, I did tell you that Devon and I are very protective of our family, and we just couldn’t get over the fact that you sent an imposter in your place to meet Nate. Yeah, I explained all of that, okay? I was suspicious of your cousin’s outreach to me from the very beginning. So I was simply being cautious, not nefarious. Well, I wonder if all of your caution has to do with your questionable business dealings. Look, whatever you think your investigation turned up, believe me, you don’t have anywhere near the full story. Well, listen, we get that sometimes there’s good reason to keep corporate connections under wraps, all right?

Exactly.

What I don’t get is that you obviously wouldn’t have taken the job at Winters even if it were real, ’cause you clearly don’t need it. Okay. What’s your question? My question is, why would you pursue something that you thought was a scam? And what were you looking to find by coming to Genoa City? Information. Nate’s offer came out of nowhere. And nothing about it matched my background or my rĂ©sumĂ©. In fact, everything about it raised red flags, so… I suspected that something more had to be going on. And what do you know, I was right. Yeah, that doesn’t justify your deception, though. And why wouldn’t you just confront our cousin? I believe you’re only asking because, like Lily, you want to protect your family. But despite whatever you think you dug up about me, I have no secret agenda. Well, then why all the subterfuge? Hey, I’m the one that’s playing catch-up here, okay? I just learned that almost everything I thought I knew about myself and my family was based on a lie. So whatever it is you’re wondering about me and my behavior, just know that I’m wondering the same things about you. [laughs] I don’t think it’s the same thing. No, actually, it’s worse, okay? Because I just found out I have a brother I never knew I had. And after years, I’ve been unexpectedly reunited with my mother, only to find out that she’s dying. So it’s pretty obvious the wrong person is in the hot seat here. Hi. Claire. What a nice surprise. Hi, Claire. Is something wrong? Did you hear something from Phyllis? There’s been no more news. And the more time goes by, the more upsetting it is to Summer. I’m really sorry to hear that. I hope everything’s gonna be okay. I’m sure you’ll hear something soon. Yeah, I hope so, too. Are you gonna be all right? Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Just going through it all again kind of got to me. And you’re a friendly ear. Always. If you’re sure you’re gonna be okay. Yeah, positive. It’s all good. And I need to get back to the office. What are you doing here? Nikki has a business lunch that she wanted me to sit in on. She thinks it’ll be a good learning experience for me. Nikki’s right. The more you soak up about Chancellor’s business, the faster your meteoric rise to the top will be. Claire, are you already vying for a promotion? I didn’t realize how ambitious you were. At least in the corporate world. I’m actually finding it quite exciting. I guess I’m still surprised that you gave up on your dream of working with children. I mean, you made it seem like you were so passionate about it when you were Harrison’s nanny. I loved every minute of that job. Which is why I’m so grateful that I’ll still get the chance to hang out with him. He’s grateful, too. We both are. Spending every day with Harrison was the best. It really helped center me after all that trauma with Jordan. And you helped him heal, too. But now that I’m back in the corporate world, I’m surprised how comfortable and energized I feel.

Oh, you know what that means?

What? You’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. I guess that’s why I feel more and more comfortable in my new life each day. I’m finally where I belong. I guess anywhere would be better than the hell that Jordan put you through, making you do all of those horrible things to our family. It’s so much more than that. For the first time in a long while, I’m not grasping onto something out of desperation. I don’t think anyone’s accusing you of that. Yeah, of course not. Well, Claire, you beat me. [laughs] Always be early to a business meeting. One of your rules. Summer, any word from Phyllis? I’m afraid not. [sighs] No word from Sharon either. I assume that you’ve heard that they found her car at Cassidy First, right? Yes. Very concerning. I’m just hoping that there’s some harmless explanation and that this will all be over soon. There you go. Stay positive. Knowing your mother, I’m sure she’s getting ready to make her grand entrance any moment. I hope so. Kyle, I’m going back to the office, too. My car’s been giving me some trouble. Do you mind giving me a ride? Sure. Yeah. No problem. All right. I’m just going to grab my food.

Bye, Grandma.

Bye, hon. Good luck in your meeting. See you at dinner. I’m already looking forward to it. [kissing] Is everything all right, Claire? That’s great. I was hoping you’d be open to meeting Dr. Kelly. She is one of the leading oncologists in this area. Everything is going so well, I’m just afraid to hold out hope. This field is moving quickly. It’s hard to keep up with all the advances, but she is on the cutting edge. So if you don’t mind, I’m gonna remain hopeful. Really? I’m a believer in positive thinking combined with great science. And with Carol– that is Dr. Kelly–we have both. I admit, I am flooded with positive vibes from you and Audra. Now all you have to do, just join in. You two are so wonderful. I am profoundly grateful for all your support. And now that I know that there’s a chance that Damian and I can heal, I am going to cling to as much time as I possibly can get. Which is why I’m eager for you to see what she thinks about your case. If I could just get a few more months, maybe a year, I’ll do whatever it takes. Even if that means thinking positively. Now, that’s what I’m talking about. I know I haven’t been very good at this lately, but…things are looking up in so many ways. Why not believe in this miracle, too, right? If modern medicine can extend your life, I’d be thrilled to help make that possible. Whether this works or not, you have already done so much for me. More than I can ever deserve.

Bring it in.

[chuckles] Bring it in. [exhales] Okay. You’re right. You have had a lot to deal with. And we’re not accusing you of anything either. No. Our curiosity and our concern comes from a place of love for Nate. I get it. I do. And I’m not being defensive here, okay? But it’s been so much for me to take in. And you suggesting that I can’t be trusted, it’s a bit ironic, considering how I got here in the first place. Sorry, guys. I have to take this. Why don’t we have a seat? Listen, I know that you probably don’t know this, but you and I actually have a lot in common. How so? Well, I didn’t know who my biological father was for most of my life growing up. Hmm. Well, from my research, I thought you were adopted by Neil and Drucilla Winters as a teen, so you had to know that he wasn’t your bio dad. I did, yeah. I did, for sure. And Neil and Dru took me in, and they gave me a home. But my biological mom always lied to me about who my dad was. So it wasn’t until later in life that I found out.

Tucker McCall.

That’s right. And I tell you this to say that I can relate to the confusion that you’re feeling. Thanks, man. I appreciate you sharing that with me. I still don’t trust you completely. ‘Cause even though I can sympathize with everything you’re going through, you know, the way you’ve operated has been questionable, to say the least.

The way I’ve operated?

Yeah. What about your cousin? Well, you’re the one that sent an imposter to get information while you could stay hidden, right? And then you told everybody that you own two companies when you really don’t own them. You’re just the CEO. And on top of hiding your connection to Aristotle Dumas, when we confronted you with the truth, you didn’t really want to talk about it. So I hope you can understand that I’m not gonna be very quick to let you off the hook. [scoffs] Okay, fine. To be fair, both Nate and I have been a little guilty of deception, so… Sure. But at least we know what Nate’s motives are, right? You, not so much. And it makes me curious as to why you have so many things that you’re keeping secret. I honestly don’t think I need a motive other than curiosity and a deep need to protect my personal privacy. Besides, I was the one that was contacted with a lie. So is it any surprise I’d want to know why? Well, no, but why wouldn’t you just come straight out and ask? Okay. And you think Nate would have just come clean? Well, I guess we’ll never know, will we? Shouldn’t we be past the point of distrust by now? I am. And I have every reason to be suspicious of Nate and my mother, but I’m still here willing to talk things through. Nate and my mom are open to that. Why aren’t you and Lily on the same page? If you really want to know, I’ll be blunt about it with you. There are just things about your story and your past that don’t add up to me. That being said, I’m still willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I guess that’s the most I could ask for. At least you’re being candid about where you stand, and I appreciate that. Yeah. I’ve never been one to hold back how I feel, so you can always count on me being blunt and direct with you. [laughs] Thanks for the warning. And thank you for joining me for dinner the other night. Perhaps we could do it again sometime soon. Maybe. When did you have in mind? The sooner the better. How about tonight? Well, my appointment just texted me. He’s running a little late, so we can use the time to talk. I prepped the meeting brief for you, so I’m actually pretty up to speed about the goal of the lunch. I’m not talking about work. When I came in here, I felt that there was some awkwardness in the air. Is there a problem between you and Summer? Why would you say that? Very little gets past me. Really, it’s– it’s nothing, Grandma. Now, darling, I thought by now you would be so comfortable with me that you would talk about anything. Even though Summer is your granddaughter, too? I don’t play favorites. I love all of my grandchildren equally. I get the feeling that Summer’s not happy about my relationship with Kyle. Well, honey, that’s not surprising. I mean, she and Kyle have shared a lot together, including a child. They have a long history, yes, I know, and they’ll always be connected by Harrison. Yes, but that doesn’t mean that there’s anything more to it than that. Are you worried that Summer wants Kyle back? I don’t know, but I… get the sense that there’s something more going on. Do you think it’s possible that Grandpa is urging Summer to reconnect with Kyle? You were awfully quiet on the ride over here. Was I? You still concerned about your mom, or is there something else on your mind? What else would it be? I keep getting the feeling that you’re upset about my relationship with Claire. So tell me, is this going to be a problem? Uh, how about I check my calendar and I will get back to you? [chuckles] You know, I hear they have calendars on phones now. Hmm. Fine. Consult your planner, and I’ll just keep hope alive that a “yes” is coming, so call me. I’m sure my number’s in your Rolodex. Well, sorry I had to take that call. What did I miss? What you walked in on was pretty much the gist of it. But I wasn’t as forgiving of the man as you seem to be. Yeah. I noticed. Why did you tell him what we know about Dumas and his companies? You saw how hard Nate came down on me for getting involved. It’s like, why would you open up to him about all of that? I don’t know. I just felt compelled to, ’cause like you heard me say, there’s a lot of things that I just don’t trust about the guy, and it’s concerning that he seems to be winning you over. Look, I don’t have a problem with you dating Claire. You have every right to live your life how you want with whomever you want. Glad to hear it. I still get the feeling there’s something more at play here. Look, Kyle, I– I care about you.

Hmm.

Okay? How could I not? So, yeah, I will admit that there’s some residual protective feelings when it comes to you. I just don’t want to see you get hurt, that’s all. If that’s all it is, then please let it go. My parents have worrying and overprotection cover, so the last thing I need is for you to jump on that bandwagon. I get that. But where this is concerned, I see their point.

Come on, Summer.

No, you come on. You seriously aren’t at least a little bit worried that my grandpa’s going to try to mess things up for the two of you? He’s clearly not a fan of your relationship. Victor’s opposition doesn’t scare me. Yeah, but do you really want to put yourself through that? You know how my grandpa can be when he doesn’t get his way. Your grandfather is not going to run my life, or Claire’s, for that matter. What about Harrison? Have you thought about how this could impact him? No. I’m not about to let Victor’s opinion of my relationship impact Harrison in any way. And I don’t give a damn if I have his approval or not. I’m surprised you would suspect your grandfather of such a thing. It’s no secret that Grandpa has gone to great lengths in the past to protect people in this family from the people they’ve chosen to love. Mm, he has been known to take things a bit far on occasion. From what you and Mom have told me, it’s more than a bit. Have you actually seen anything that would make you think that he’s trying to push Summer back with Kyle? No. Not specifically. And I hate that the thought even entered my mind. But, you know, Grandpa has been so adamant about not wanting me to be with Kyle. And Grandpa and Summer are so close. Well, yes, of course they are. I mean, you’ve seen how protective Victor is of his family, and she is his granddaughter, but so are you. I know, Grandma. But lately Summer seems so…emboldened when it comes to Kyle, and I can’t help wondering what’s behind that. Hey, did your work call go okay? Nothing I can’t work out. What are you so engrossed in? I’m actually doing research on your oncologist friend. Seems like she is quite well-known and highly respected. Only the very best for you, as promised. [chuckles] She’s exactly that. Her qualifications are very impressive, and then some of the results she’s achieved has made me hopeful. Like I said, there’s lots of progress being made all the time. And Dr. Kelly’s research is responsible for several recent breakthroughs. Well, I’m trying not to get overly optimistic. I can’t afford to let my expectations get unreasonably high and then disappointed. And I don’t want to give you false hope. We need to take this one step at a time and see where it leads. [knocking] That’s probably her now. [clears throat] Darling, you know that Summer’s concerns about you aren’t new. She had issues with you before you and Kyle ever got together. I know. It took her a long time to trust me with Harrison. And I thought once she saw how wonderful you were with him that those feelings would dissipate. So did I. But Summer has never let me forget my past. And it’s almost like she’s been more aggressive since Kyle and I have grown closer. Aggressive in what way? Like she’s using their history as husband and wife and as Harrison’s parents to reconnect with him and drive a wedge between us. You don’t honestly believe that. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just being insecure and paranoid. Leftover vestiges of what Jordan instilled in me. Oh, and you’ve worked so hard to get past that. I have. But maybe some of it’s still ingrained in me. All right, well, I’m impressed at your determination to stand up to my grandpa. But many have tried and most have failed spectacularly. Victor may have gotten me fired at Glissade. But that was different. He doesn’t have the power to fire me as Claire’s boyfriend. You sure about that? Look, I hate the pressure that Claire’s under, but she’s strong enough to stand up for herself, and she’s not about to be bullied into a breakup that she doesn’t want. And as for Harrison, do you really think I would let Victor’s manipulations affect our son? Kyle, I know that you would move heaven and earth to protect Harrison. Mm-hmm. But everyone knows how far Victor Newman is willing to go to stop something he opposes. You’re really not worried at all about how bad it could get? I mean, is this really worth it? It’s more than worth it. Kyle, are you actually falling in love with Claire? Look, I’m not saying that you’re wrong to be cautious about Damian, but I kind of see his point where he said that he felt the same way about us that we feel about him. I can see how he would think that we’re being untrustworthy. And I’d agree if we were blatantly and obviously hiding something from him. But we’re not. Our cards are on the table. Yeah, I guess that’s true. And it’s why I wanted him to be aware that we knew about his lies when it comes to his business affairs. Why? You wanted to see what he would do? Yeah, and I think it was pretty telling that he went straight into defense mode and started playing the victim. There’s a lot more secrets that Damian has than what we’ve uncovered. And as much as Nate claims that he doesn’t trust the guy, I know that he wants things to work out, especially for Amy’s sake, ’cause he’s hoping that she’s gonna have this reconciliation with her son before it’s too late. Which is all fine and great. But I do feel like that’s blinding Nate to the bigger picture here. I know, but I kind of understand how he feels. And I feel for Amy, too. She should be able to spend her final days with her son. Sure she should. And I’m not saying that this whole Damian situation is bad. I’m just saying that we shouldn’t trust everything the guy says to us. Well, look, I’m glad that you’re leaving some room for doubt, but I will say I have spent a bit more time with Damian. You know, we shared a meal, and I got to get a feel for him. And that was after Victor informed me of his deception around his business connections. But I really don’t feel like he’s dangerous. Well, I never implied that he’s dangerous, but I’m wondering why you are going out of your way to defend him and make excuses. In spite of everything we just talked about, you still want to go have dinner with him. Is there more going on? What do you mean, is there more going on? I mean, is this turning into something personal for you? NATE: Damian, uh, this is a surprise. Hey. I was hoping to find my mother. Please. You found me, I am happy to say.

So good to see you again.

You, too. I was just telling Nate what a lovely time I had last night. I enjoyed it, too. In fact, I was hoping that we could do it again. Can I treat you for lunch? I would love nothing more to spend more time with you, but I’m actually meeting the cancer doctor that Nate recommended. Hopefully, she has some new options that we can discuss. So, this is the specialist you told us about. She cleared her schedule to come see Amy today. Oh, man. That’s great. Thanks again for using your connections to arrange this. And lunch can absolutely wait for another time. This is clearly far more important, so… Thank you. Devon, I just met the guy, okay? There’s nothing personal going on. I’m just as curious about him as you are. And I’m definitely not ready to trust him either. Then why are you willing to spend so much time with him? What’s the harm in getting to know him better? He’s Nate’s brother. And I have a lot of unanswered questions, and I feel like this is a way to get answers without scaring him off. And that’s all it is, in spite of Nate asking you not to get involved? We have our business and our family at stake. We’re already involved, and I’m not gonna let Nate sideline me that easily. All right, that all sounds fine. I just have to ask if it’s more than that, ’cause I would hate to see you get close to this man and become personally involved only to have our worst suspicions come true. Thank you so much for coming, Carol. I know how busy your schedule must be. Anything for you, Nate. Then let me introduce you to Amy Lewis, whose medical records I sent. And this is her son, Damian. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Dr. Kelly. And I’ll be very grateful for anything you can do for my mom. Thank you for coming, Doctor. I hope Dr. Hastings explained this is a preliminary meeting. I made it clear you need to gather more information to update the records I sent. Yeah. Nate has explained everything to me, and I am happy to share whatever you need. Why don’t we go grab some lunch while they talk? Why not? Now, Claire, you listen to me. You are a strong, intelligent, beautiful young woman, and you don’t need to feel insecure about anything. It seems that you and Kyle have a good relationship. So hang on to that as long as it makes you happy. But what about Summer? What if I can’t hold on? I love Summer as much as I love you. But I can’t deny that she has some of her mother’s…drive, if you will. And she can be a bit of a bull in a china shop sometimes, but you can’t let that intimidate you. I guess I just have to accept the fact that Summer will always be in Kyle’s life. Yes, she will. But I believe that things will start to settle down soon, and the three of you can learn to live happily as a blended family. I mean, that is what you want and deserve, right? To be happy. That’s what I want more than anything. Well, I promise you, I will do everything in my power to make sure nobody takes that away from you. Not Victor, not Summer, not anybody. Thank you, Grandma. It really means so much to have your support. My darling, you will always have my support. KYLE: In love? Honestly… I don’t know if our relationship has reached that stage yet, but I can see it getting there. And the last thing I want to do is force anything. Claire and I just want to let things develop naturally and see where it leads us. Even with my grandpa ready to do everything he can to stop it? Even with that. I just– I hope you’re being sincere, that me being with Claire isn’t an issue for you. Kyle, I already have so much on my plate right now. Work. Harrison. Everything that’s going on with my mom. I can barely handle all of that. So, no, I’m not wasting any time thinking about you and Claire. So you can just put that out of your mind completely. That’s exactly what I was hoping you would say. I’ll meet you in the car. Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. Captioning provided by Bell Dramatic Serial Company, Sony Pictures Television and CBS, Inc.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So I took your suggestion, and I talked to Xander about going back to work at Titan. And he just hired me.

Oh, that’s great. Congratulations.

Thank you.

But that’s not so crazy, right? I mean, you did work there before.

Well, that’s not the crazy part.

I talked to Philip today and he actually gave me a job there, too. [Joy chuckles]

Oh. Wow. That isbig news.

Thank you so much. Yeah, it was just dropped off. [tense music] A pregnancy test. Patient named Wesley, Joy.

Joy?

[upbeat jazzy music]

Excuse me? Savannah?

Yeah? Was I expecting you? No, I guess not. I’m sure I’d remember if a handsome face like yours booked me for an engagement.

Actually, I, um–

Wait, I know. You were at that bachelor party that I worked a few weeks ago, right? Sam, was it?

Shawn.

Well, are you looking to hire me for a lap dance, Shawn?

No, not exactly. And I probably should have mentioned it’s Detective Shawn Brady, if we’re being technical. I have a few questions for you, Savannah. [suspenseful music]

[Gabi sighs]

I’m glad Jada didn’t waste any more time here, because going through Arnold’s things has gotten us exactly zero more leads on Rafe.

[Gabi sighs] I’m sorry. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I’m really glad you’re here to help, JJ. It’s just that I–

It’s fine. I totally get it. I’m disappointed, too. But it was an avenue that we had to pursue. And now, we’ll move on to the next one.

Hey, we’ll find your brother. I’ll bring him home. Promise.

[Gabi sighs]

[EJ sighs]

Well, Father, I must say I am rather relieved you aren’t alive to witness the mess Feniger’s made of things. And after you and I deigned to save his life, no less. I could, however, certainly use your advice on the matter of what to do now.

I doubt the man is flush with ideas, considering he’s got canvas for brains.

Rita, it’s about time. I was beginning to think that you’d run into some issues disposing of Feniger.

Why do you say that? Were there are some issues on your end?

[siren wailing]

Where’s my lawyer?

Not here. Is that a problem?

It is, actually, yes. Because you can’t question me without my attorney present.

You know, it figures that police procedure is the one thing you claim to remember. It’s pretty convenient, wouldn’t you say?

Well, trust me when I say that there is very little that is convenient about being stuck here.

Well, get used to it because I know police procedure, too. In fact, I know it backwards and forwards. Which is the main reason why Rafe hired me in the first place. [suspenseful music] You know, Rafe, my fiancĂ©, the man that you replaced? That’s right. Before he was my fiancĂ©, he was my boss.

You coming?

Does that mean I got the job?

Welcome to Salem PD.

Oh, my God. I remember.

You remember what?

The day I hired you.

You expect me to believe that?

Yes. I said, “Welcome to Salem PD.” It was the best damn decision I ever made. [suspenseful music] [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Steph, everything OK?

Huh? Yeah, everything is fine.

Look, Stephanie, I– I get that it’s a bit weird that me and Alex are going to be working together. And to be honest, I’m not exactly psyched about it myself.

No, it’s–it’s not–

And look, Joy and I haven’t even had the chance to discuss it at all, really. But now that we’re all here, maybe we should hash it out. None of us could have predicted that we’d be working together. Right? [Stephanie sighs] And look, maybe if it’s easier, I’ll just tell Xander that I’m not going to be able to take the job.

Oh, God, no, no. Alex, Titan is your family business. That’s why I suggested that you go back to it in the first place. [Alex groans] You have every right to take that job.

So in other words, um, you think the one who should decline the job is me. [chuckles uncomfortably]

Hey, I don’t want any trouble, OK? I quit that job way before the cops raided that place. And those drugs were not mine, I swear.

Uh, well, that–that all sounds very interesting, but that’s not the reason why I’m here.

It isn’t?

No. No, I’m not here to talk drugs. I’m here to talk about the bachelor that you slept with the night before his wedding. [tense music]

Thank you, JJ. And thank you for everything you’ve been doing to help me find Rafe. I just– I can’t help but worry that even if we do find him that it could be too late. [somber music] My God, what if EJ decides to kill him?

EJ may be a despicable human being, but he’s smart enough to know that killing a person only causes more problems than it solves. Just look at what he and his father went through to make sure Arnold stayed alive the first time around. If they bothered to save a creep like that, I can promise you Rafe is alive.

But alive where? EJ has enough money and power to have him stashed anywhere in the world. I mean, we could look for months and not find him.

But EJ is also the sort of guy that likes to keep his problems where he can see them. I bet whatever noises Jada heard in the DiMera tunnels all those weeks ago was actually Rafe being held captive. EJ probably just had him moved by the time you and Jada went back down to investigate.

And the minute we find him, EJ could just move him again. Damn it!

EJ is the only one with the answers that we need. We just need to find a way to get the truth out of him.

[tense music]

It seems I struck a sore spot. Was there an issue with the plan?

There have been a few– [clears throat] Unforseen challenges.

Such as?

[sighs] It seems Rafe may have been given a stronger dose of CRS-17 than we’d originally planned for. Not only has he forgotten everything about his own kidnapping, but the rest of his mind seems to have gone as well.

Well, that’s certainly not ideal.

No. And I wouldn’t care one way or another except for the fact that Gabi took it upon herself to run a DNA test on Feniger before we were able to make the switch.

Why would she do that? [EJ sighs and clears throat]

If I were to bet, Feniger gave himself away in one way or another. And she started to suspect that he wasn’t her brother. But what matters now is the fact that Gabi and whoever else she decided to confide in now knows that Rafe was being doubled.

She just doesn’t know when the imposter was deployed.

Exactly. So when the real Rafe was discovered back in his own kitchen, whoever found him thought him to be Arnold still and took his–[sighs] Amnesia as some sort of desperate ploy by Feniger to avoid prosecution.

Hmm. Not an insane theory.

Except now the authorities believe the actual Rafe Hernandez is still out there and being held captive by me.

Well, now I can see why you were turning to old Father Dearest for help. But how long will this problem last? If I remember correctly, the drug Dr. Rolf gave to Gabi first wore off eventually. Maybe the same thing will happen with Mr. Hernandez.

And he’ll remember who he is? Well, if that were to come to pass, let’s hope to God that he doesn’t remember everything. Otherwise, it could blow up in all our faces. [tense music] 23

I remember now. I am Rafe Hernandez.

Oh, God. Of course Rafe said, “Welcome to Salem PD” when he hired me. That doesn’t prove it was you. Come on, Feniger. You are not fooling anybody with this whole–

Your father’s name was Marcus Hunter. Your younger sister is Talia. 24

Hmm. All right, go on. Go on, keep spouting out names that EJ fed you before you start–

You are the best damn detective that I ever hired. And then… [chimes playing] [soft dramatic music] The first time we kissed, you rocked my world. And I knew that we were meant to be together.

I love you, Jada. I love you and I have missed you so much.

Go to hell.

No, of course I’m not saying that you shouldn’t take the job. Where you choose to work is none of my business.

You’re right, it’s not. And to be honest, I can’t exactly be picky with my employment opportunities at the moment. Especially not now that I’m–

I totally get it. Look, I just– I just thought that maybe you would be following the rest of the “Body & Soul” cast to Los Angeles, that’s all.

Well, as I was telling Alex, I was considering it. But by the time I made up my mind, they’d already recast my part, so–

Oh. I’m very sorry to hear that.

Yeah. I probably would have decided sooner, had I been in a better headspace. But, you know, with me having been poisoned and then dumped, I–

Joy, Joy, I am truly very, very sorry.

The point is that I have to play the hand that I was dealt. And in this case, it means taking this assistant gig working at Titan. And if you have a problem with that, he’s the one who can quit.

Uh–

Joy, nobody has to quit. Stephanie’s not saying that. It’s a big company. I’m sure it’ll be fine. [soft upbeat music]

[sighs] Either it will or it won’t. Regardless, I’m staying.

Roger that. I will see you at the office then. OK? Steph, come on.

[tense music]

Jada, I was only trying to tell you that I remembered everything.

Watch it, Feniger. You are on very, very thin ice with me right now.

OK. Well, would Feniger know all the crap that we had to put up with when the department said that we couldn’t date? [somber music] Would Feniger remember the first time that we made love? Would Feniger have memorized every word that he said to you when he proposed? It’s from my TĂ­a Hilda.

You know, she said to me that it broke her heart every time she saw my heart break when my relationships fell apart. When she died, she gave me this with a very specific set of instructions.

And what are those instructions?

That I have to give it to someone that I know that I am going to love for the rest of my life. [Jada gasps] Don’t worry. Because that person is you. So… [Jada gasps] Jada Hunter, will you marry me? [soft dramatic music] [Jada inhales sharply]

And then a crowd started to gather around us. And you said, “No pressure, huh?” And then you said, “Of course I will marry you, Rafe.” And you made me the happiest man in the world.

Jada, I know that I am going to love you for the rest of my life. I know that you’re the one for me.

And I hope you still feel the same way about me.

Wait, a second. What day is it? Are we already married?

No. We never got a chance to finish the wedding.

[softly] No. Why not?

The bachelor I s– [sighs] You mean that guy Hernandez?

Yeah, well, that’s the thing. The guy you slept with was not Rafe Hernandez. He was some kind of imposter.

Huh.

That doesn’t surprise you? 35

Not really, now that I think about it. Let me guess. His real name was Arnold, right? [suspenseful jazzy music]

Oh, damn, damn, damn. I can’t believe we managed to pull off the switch with Rafe and Feniger only to have everyone in Salem assume that Hernandez is still out there somewhere.

Well, everyone in Salem seems a bit of an exaggeration, don’t you think? People do have their own lives, you know.

Oh, really? Tell that to Rafe’s sister and ex-fiancĂ©e. I’ve already had a house call from the both of them insisting upon searching down in the tunnels. And they will not stop until they get answers. That I cannot supply, obviously. Please, please tell me you were able to dispose of Feniger without much trouble?

Oh, I certainly made sure he won’t be doing any talking. Although I probably should tell you he’s not exactly nursing a Mai Tai down in Argentina as we planned. [suspenseful music]

What do you mean, not exactly?

He wouldn’t get on the jet. Kept making all these threats and demands. So in the end, I made the executive decision that there needed to be a more… permanent solution.

Permanent solution. What exactly did you do to him, Rita?

Uh-oh. I know that look.

What look?

The I’m not going to sit back and let the police handle this look.

Can you blame me?

No. But I also care about you. I don’t want to see you get hurt.

I care about my brother, too.

I know you do. And look, I’m sorry we didn’t find anything here. But there still could be some leads in Arnold’s room at the Salem Inn. 40

Are you heading there next?

I was going to. But–

No, look. [chuckles] I’m fine. Go.

OK. Just please… don’t do anything you’re going to regret.

41

I promise.

And I certainly won’t regret this.

[soft dramatic music]

Well, what do you say? Should we– should we have a little drink and toast to your new job?

Uh, I’m not exactly sure we should be toasting to something you’re not really that happy about. 42

What are you talking about? I’m happy.

Steph, I saw the way you reacted back there.

OK, fine. I was–I was a little blindsided. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not happy for you. I just–

You wish I wasn’t working with Joy. I get it. And as you just heard, I’m not completely thrilled with it either. [Stephanie sighs] After everything that went down with me and Joy and the breakup, I just feel like– [soft dramatic music] Like I owe her the courtesy of seeing this through.

I agree. You do owe her that.

But?

But nothing.

44

You trust me?

Of course I trust you. I know the two of you working together, you’ll– you’ll keep it professional. That’s not what I’m concerned about.

What are you concerned about?

Oh. Oh, hey, hey, hey. You OK?

Hey.

Looked like you were about to fall over. 45

I’m fine. I’m fine.

You don’t seem fine. Hey, I’m a cop. I was an EMT before. If you just let me see? [soft dramatic music]

Well, your pulse is going about a mile a minute. You’re going to need some real help.

No, no, no. I don’t want any help. I’m just–I’m just a little lightheaded, OK? 46

Yeah, and you nearly passed out. Hey, if you just let me get you to a doctor, maybe they could figure out what’s wrong.

No, I already know what’s wrong. [somber music]

I might be pregnant.

Damn it, why can’t I remember what happened at my own wedding? 47

What doyou remember? [soft dramatic music]

Well, I remember talking to you about getting married on my birthday.

I remember going to see EJ about a PI case that I had for Black Patch. And EJ threw me out. But I knew that he was hiding something, so I snuck back in. [soft suspenseful music]

Oh, my God. I saw Arnold Feniger. [Rafe sighs]

How did you know that?

That the guy’s name was Arnold? He told me to call him that. He said that that was his real name. Said that that was his name before the Hernandez family adopted him. [suspenseful jazzy music] So I’m guessing that’s not true.

Well, except for the part where he called himself Arnold. His full name is Arnold Feniger. We feel that he’s been masquerading as Rafe for a while now, possibly even a few months.

[scoffs] So if he’s pretending to be someone else, what happened to the real Rafe Hernandez?

That’s what we’re trying to find out. Is there anything else that he told you besides his real name? Anything that would give us a clue as to where we could find Rafe?

[exhales deeply]

– Answer me, Rita. What happened to Feniger? You didn’t kill him, did you?

EJ, I– Rita. What are you doing here?

I was just dropping off some paperwork for Ms. DiMera. Please tell her I stopped by. 51

I will, but Rita–

Thank you, Mr. DiMera, but I have to get back to the office now. Lots to do. [chuckles] [Gabi clears throat] [suspenseful music] [Gabi clears throat]

Gabi, what is it? I’ve already told you I have no idea about this alleged Rafe imposter and I certainly don’t know where your dimwit of a brother is, so just jog on, would you? 52

Maybe this will jog your memory. [tense music]

I guess I’m just a little concerned about Joy and you being in such close proximity. Day after day. I just–I don’t want her to get too attached to you again. You know, after the whole poisoning debacle, she– she sort of saw you as her– as her rescuer and savior and–

Well, trust me, she does not think of me that way anymore. She just wants to move on, Steph. And so do I, obviously. [soft dramatic music] There’s nothing tying us together anymore. Promise you.

Oh. Well, congratulations, I suppose.

Not exactly the word I would use. If I’m pregnant, I’m screwed. [somber music]

OK.

And by that, I mean the father, already in a relationship with somebody else, so–

I see.

Is there–is there anything I–I can do to help?

Aside from turn back time? No. I will be fine. I’m probably just a little dehydrated right now, That’s all.

Well, then let me get you some water.

No, no, really you– you don’t have to.

Sure, I do. Public servants, after all.

No, no. Honestly, I am– [soft upbeat music] I am fine. See? I am all good. But, um, thank you for your concern, Officer. 56

Call me JJ.

All right. Well, I appreciate it, JJ, but I’m– I’m going to get going.

To be honest, Detective, Arnold and I didn’t exactly do a lot of talking, if you know what I mean?

Listen, I get it. But come on, he must have– he must have told you something. I mean, from the sound of it, it sounds like you guys have been hanging out for quite a bit.

Nope. Sorry, I got nothing.

I hope you’re telling me the truth right now. Because if you’re not, you’d be aiding and abetting a felony. You know that, right?

Look, the guy wasn’t exactly deep, OK? All I know is that he was good in bed. Albeit sweaty and a bit more of a sexist pig than my usual clientele. Which is saying a lot.

OK. Well, if you can think of anything else, anything at all, please give me a call. Rafe’s life could depend on it. [suspenseful jazzy music]

[tense music]

Now, now, Gabriella, let’s not do anything rash.

What did you do with Rafe?

I haven’t done anything with Rafe. I’ve told you that. Now, why don’t you be a good girl and put the gun down and we can have a civilized–

You lied! This is my brother’s gun, EJ. And I swear to God, I will use it to blow your head off unless you start telling me the truth. Now, where the hell is he?

– You saw Arnold?

Yeah.

And then what?

Well, I realized that he obviously hadn’t died in a jail cell like we all thought. So then I went to call for backup, and… [tense music] It all went black after that.

Do you remember seeing EJ when you woke up?

No. No, damn it. That– that’s the last memory that I have. Until you and Shawn woke me up in my kitchen. What happened in between?

I don’t know. But I know how we can find out. [laid-back jazzy music]

Oh, my God. I know you.

Excuse me?

You’re Regan Holloway from “Body & Soul.” I love that show.

Really?

Of course. I never miss an episode.

Wow. I guess I’m just surprised that you recognized me. I’ve barely been on.

Are you kidding me? You’re my favorite character. You’re hot, you’re stylish, you don’t take crap from anyone. [Joy chuckles] Unlike that Faith character. God, she was so spineless, always playing the victim. I’m glad they got rid of her. [scoffs] Besides, you and Arrow make a much better couple.

You think so? 64

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, your chemistry is off the charts. You two are totally made for each other. [soft tense music]

Jada should be getting home from work soon.

Oh. Well, since we’re hanging out in what is essentially her bedroom, what do you say we go back to my place? We can have a little bit of alone time together.

Actually, Jada is moving back into the Hernandez house.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Mm.

Yeah. As you know, she was only staying here because Rafe had broken up with her. But it turns out that that person actually wasn’t Rafe. So there’s no reason why she shouldn’t move back in there until–

The real Rafe is found and everything goes back to normal. 66

Well, normal for Salem.

Mm. Do the police have any leads on Rafe’s location?

No, not yet. Jada’s a great cop. She’s not going to rest till she finds him.

Mm.

OK, just send me a text as soon as you know for sure.

Great news. Our guy really is Feniger. Savannah the stripper, just confirmed it.

Except I don’t think he is. 67

What do you mean?

We’ll know for sure once forensics runs the prints we took off of him yesterday. But I think that’s really Rafe.

OK, what about the DNA test that proves that it isn’t Rafe?

He just shared with me all these memories, only memories that Rafe could have. I don’t know, I don’t know, maybe EJ switched him with Arnold after Gabi took his DNA? 68

Well, that would be quite the coincidence.

I mean– I mean, yeah, that could be. We would have to wait. [phone beeps] [suspenseful music]

What? [Jada gasps softly] What–what is it?

Forensics just confirmed it. It’s him.

It’s really Rafe. [Jada sighs] [soft dramatic music]

[Jada gasps softly] [knocking on door]

Gabi? Hey, Gabi, I didn’t find anything at the Salem Inn, but– oh, no. [tense music]

Oh, no.

Gabi, sweetheart, we both know you’re not going to shoot me.

Oh, yeah? Would you like to test that theory?

Would you like to go back to prison for murder? I was only there in the first place because you prosecuted me for a crime that I didn’t commit.

And the real killer has been found. You’ve been released, vindicated. Would you really like to give up your freedom?

You know, I thought for a nanosecond about trying to seduce the truth out of you. But… never again. You disgust me, EJ.

The feeling is mutual, I assure you. But I hardly think disgust will stand up as a defense against murder in a court of law.

If I have to shoot you, I will. And then I’ll just wipe my prints off the gun and be on my merry way.

Mm. Not so merry considering Rita saw you come in.

Face it, Gabi. Killing me… is not going to end well for you.

If you don’t cough up my brother’s location… [shouting] Right now… it’s not going to end well for you either. [tense music]

Hey, I’d love to buy you a drink. I don’t want you to think that I came over here to bother you free of charge.

Oh, that’s OK. 74

No, really. What do you want?

Uh, maybe just a club soda.

You sure? They’ve got great martinis here.

I’ll just take your word for it. I’m not really drinking these days.

What are you, pregnant? [soft upbeat jazzy music]

Oh, my God. Wait, are you pregnant? Is that why Regan got pregnant in the show? Did they write it in for you?

Can we just change the subject, please? I don’t really want to talk about it.

Oh, OK. You don’t got to worry about me, babe. My lips are sealed.

Well, then, if you are right about Jada not coming home, that means we don’t have to find someplace else for us to have that alone time I was talking about.

[laughs] I– [soft dramatic music]

I’d love to, Alex. But–

But what?

But you’ve got your first day on your new job tomorrow, and I’ve got an early start as well. Maybe it’s best if you just go back to your place. 77

Mm.

I hope you don’t mind.

Mm. Right. We should both definitely get our sleep.

Are you sure this isn’t about Joy? Because I will call Xander right now and tell him I’ll find another job.

No.

I won’t take it. 78

I swear it is not about the job.

As long as you’re sure.

I am.

OK. [Alex sighs] [suspenseful music]

EJ, I am going to pull the trigger! Three… two…

One.

Gabi? Gabi, stop.

JJ?

Look, you don’t want to do this. He’s not going to tell you where Rafe is.

JJ, will you just–

But I can.

80

What?

I know where Rafe is. I just got a call from Shawn. The guy they’re holding down at the police station, it’s not Arnold. It’s Rafe.

[soft dramatic music]

[gasps] Rafe. It’s really you. [Jada gasps]

You believe me?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Please don’t tell my mom what really happened. I’m not gonna lie to your mom, James. But I don’t know who she’s gonna kill first — you for doing it, or me for letting it happen on my watch. Come on. Gently. Hi, Willow. Uh, we need to see a doctor as soon as possible. I think James might have broken his arm. Okay. Don’t worry. We’ll get him checked out right away. Okay. Dr. Gannon, this is James West. Can you take a look at his arm? Hey, there, little dude. What happened? Nothing. Spill it, James, and make it the truth this time.

Ric: Came as soon as I could. Is this a good time? Absolutely. Thank you so much for coming. Um, how much exactly did Ava tell you? Well, she didn’t tell me anything. But I always enjoy hearing about hospital-related cases. They tend to be very lucrative. It’s not about the hospital. Well, not directly, anyway. It’s about me. I need some help. I’m desperate. Well, you’d have to be if you’re talking to me. Wow. It’s true. Kristina told me that you bought this house. I just had to come here and see for myself. Why on earth would you buy Valentin’s house? When Terry told me about your pediatric sports program, I jumped at the chance to be the hospital’s liaison. Yeah. The program is just all about making positive, life-changing impact for the kids, and I just — I knew that you’d be able to help with that, so I’m so happy that you’re on board. Me, too. I can’t wait to get started. Morning. Morning. Hey, Gio, you okay? Yeah. You look like you got an itch you can’t scratch. Yeah, no, I’m — I’m totally fine. I just have something to tell Tracy, and I don’t think she’s gonna like it. Oh, if it’s that Gloria is coming to visit, I already know. No, that’s not it. There’s a guy at the gate, and I think he’s surveying the property. Hey. Lulu. This is a nice surprise. You might not think so after I give you this. A room key? I stole it and posed as a member of your housekeeping staff to break into my Uncle Martin’s room. Why? I was trying to find something to help me figure out where Charlotte is. Did you? No. But I found something else. Something huge. Alright, judging by your face, it can’t be something good. Dante has a child. A child he knows nothing about.

I want the program to focus on the long-term pediatric patients, the kids that have been in the hospital longer than they’ve even been at home. the ones — Mm-hmm. The ones that are just so used to getting bad news that they can feel like there’s a little hope in their lives. Oscar would be proud of you. He was a great kid. He was the best. And he was so much more than his illness. And I want these kids to know that they are, too. And I also want them to know that there’s role models out there that they should know about so that no matter what they’re going through, that they can know in their hearts that it’s possible to have a brighter future. Well, this program is definitely gonna shine a light on that. That is my hope. And I’d like to think, wherever he is, that Oscar knows that I’m thinking about him and that I miss him, and I’m going to dedicate this entire program to him. Well, thank you for coming with me. My old coach thought it’d be a good idea for me to be a part of this new program the hospital is starting. Well, he’s right. The kids would be so psyched to see you. And you’ll raise their spirits, and they’ll keep your spirits up while you go to rehab. It’s gonna be great. I’m looking forward to it, but I might need your Aunt Stella to point me in the right direction, because I have no idea where I’m supposed to meet this guy. Oh, well, who are you supposed to be meeting? Some congressman named Drew Quartermaine. Oh. Uh, yeah, I can — I can definitely point him out. Um, uh… That’s actually him right over there. Yeah. The only problem that I ever had with you was your defense of Heather Webber. Yes, I can understand why that would upset you. I’m a parent myself. You were just trying to protect your daughter and keep her safe, just like any good mother would. I appreciate you saying that. Well, that’s — It’s true. And Heather Webber is no longer in Port Charles, so I think we can consider that whole thing water under the bridge. Well, I’m not sure if that’s the case, um, because the situation that I want to discuss with you, it involves Heather. So I need to make sure that you don’t have a conflict of interest. Well, I can confidently say that my client-attorney relationship with Heather Webber is firmly in the past, and I am open to working with you on your case. But if I’m gonna help you, you’ve got to stop speaking so cryptically and tell me exactly what is going on. Isaiah: Are you gonna tell me how you did this? Come on. I was just sledding. Off the roof. Off the roof, huh? That’s some real daredevil stuff. Thank you. It was fun, until… What’s the diagnosis, doctor? I have to wait on some X-rays to be sure, but my guess is that it’s broken. If it’s broken, does that mean I have to wear a cast? I’m afraid so. Sorry, buddy. If I get a cast, my mom will see it, and my life will be over. The only reason your mom doesn’t know what’s happened right now is because she’s in an important meeting. You’re gonna rat me out? I won’t lie to her, James, or keep things from her. And, dude, that’s not the kind of man you want to be, either. Besides, she’s gonna find out anyway, ’cause she’s a mom, and that’s the way moms are. Willow: And all the kids at school are gonna want to sign your cast. It’ll be very cool. Only if my mom ever lets me out of my room again. [ Chuckles ] Let’s not panic yet. How about we go to radiology, take some X-rays so we know exactly what’s going on? Sound good? Reporter: [ On TV ] A 9-year-old metro girl… Natalia. What a delight to see you. [ TV mutes ] To what do I owe the honor? Business or pleasure? Neither. I want some answers. I remember you having better manners. No “[Smooches] Hello”? No “how are you?” You were so much more demure in your youth. Yeah, ’cause I grew up, thankfully. I need to know what you want with Deception. Well, it’s not about what I want with Deception. It’s about what Deception wants with me. Oh, I remember you being much more direct. I have access to a rare mineral that Deception desperately needs. Yes, the zincite. That’s the one. So you see, my relationship with Deception is one of supply and demand. I know how. market forces work. Just stop, okay? I know you, and I know you’re not here for a collaboration. I know you’re here for a hostile takeover. [ Scoffs ] So, this thing with the house happened quickly. I had my concerns, but Kristina and Jason thought that I needed more security than I have at the Metro Court. I have that here. It’s just going to be temporary until I go — you know, I go back to the penthouse. I’m sure you know what you’re doing. Yeah. Oh. Alright, this is the paperwork you requested from Diane. It’s for Gio’s educational trust. Thank you for the heads up, Gio, but the surveyor’s here at my request. You hired him, Granny? Yes, I certainly did. I don’t trust Martin Grey’s claim that the family crypt is on un-permitted land. So I’m getting my own proof. What happens if, uh, your guy tells you the same thing that Martin told you? Are you suggesting that Martin knows the extent of this property better than I do? But even if Martin is right, you could afford to move the crypt. It doesn’t surprise me that you don’t understand the sanctity of the Quartermaine legacy. This is not a vase you can move around at will. This is the family crypt. But if you had to — I am gonna use every resource at my disposal to make sure that my mother, my father, and my brother stay exactly where they are. Dante has another child? Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything. Oh, my God. It’s too late now. You already did. How did you find out about this information? Because Valentin trusts Martin. Martin’s his lawyer, and he knows how to get in touch with him. So I figured he might have that information in his room, so I broke into his room. Sort of. Look, I am not gonna apologize for doing what I have to do to find my daughter. I-I get it. I would, too. I would, too. I didn’t find anything about Charlotte, but… I did find notes on a newborn baby. I-I only saw pieces because Martin almost walked in on me, and I panicked, and I-I dropped all the papers. Okay, well then how can you be sure about what you saw? Because of part of it. What I saw said “Dante Falconeri — father.” And the notes also said… “Brook Lynn — mother.” Well, I’m gonna get going. Gio? If you have a few minutes, why don’t you stay and have a cup of coffee or a cup of tea with us? Why? Because I appreciate your vigilance and your thoughtfulness. Thank you. Well, you’re welcome, but, uh, I-I don’t want to intrude. Oh, you wouldn’t be intruding. I’m inviting you. I’d like you to join us, and I’m sure everyone would agree. We absolutely do. There it is. Alright, thank you. You’re welcome. This morning is turning out to be quite lovely. There you go. Ooh. I spoke too soon. Drew: Pleasure to meet you. Kai: You, too. The congressman actually saved my life. Well, I mean, he and my dad did. It definitely was a team effort. Well, Kai knows a lot about being on a team. He’s an incredible football player. I know. I’m a big fan of yours. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a quarterback think on his feet quite so quickly. Thank you. I bet you probably do a lot of that in your job, too. Well, some days more than others. You know, when we start this program, we get it up and running, the kids are gonna be thrilled to see you walking into their rooms. Well, I was actually thinking about it on the way over here, and I know a lot of other athletes at PCU, and not just football players. If I get the word out, I think a lot of them would be excited to be a part of this. Well, that would be amazing. Thank you. Yeah, happy to help. You know, any friend of Trina’s and her parents is a friend of mine.

Dante and Brook Lynn had a baby? I mean, I knew they were family friends who grew up together, and they had a lot of history. They do. Big time. And from what I’ve pieced together from Martin’s notes and from what I got out of Cody Bell without him knowing, this happened when they were teenagers. Dante, Brook Lynn, and Cody, they were all training to be counselors at a summer camp when Dante got Brook Lynn pregnant. Brook Lynn had a boy, and she gave him up for adoption. And I think that Lois is involved somehow, but I’m — I’m not sure about that part. This is crazy. And I’m shocked that Brook Lynn would keep this from Dante. I mean, they’re like family. It’s typical Brook Lynn. Now that I know this, I have to tell Dante, right? I mean, if I keep this huge, life-changing secret from him, doesn’t that make me just as bad as Brook Lynn? I have no intention of dragging Deception into anything. Wouldn’t that be a first. Well, for you, maybe. But we haven’t been married for years. I am a changed man. I can see that you bought some new suits, and you have cleaned up your act quite nicely. But I see right through your little facade. There is nothing to see. I’m not interested in anything in Port Charles, no — no — not one thing. Oh, I get it. ‘Cause it’s someone, right? Now that makes sense that you would go to all the trouble to relocate to Port Charles, because you’re after someone. And I would guess that someone is Sonny Corinthos. I am not pursuing Sonny Corinthos. From what I’ve seen, that one is you. Alexis: Hello? Sorry to interrupt. Your butler let me in. And I’m so glad that he did. Welcome, welcome. Ms. Ramirez, so sorry to cut this short. I do need to speak to Ms. Davis alone. Of course. Thank you, Mr. Sidwell. It’s nice to see you, Alexis. You, too. So happy you accepted my invitation. It’s so nice to see you here at Wyndemere. The feeling is far from mutual. Um, I know that there’s a lot of tension between you and Brook Lynn, but you can’t judge her. You made a somewhat similar decision, and I know you haven’t forgotten how difficult that was. Ending my pregnancy… is the hardest thing I ever did. Yeah. But at least I told Dillon about my decision, Right. Brook Lynn never even mentioned a word about her pregnancy to Dante — We don’t know what the circumstances were back then. All we know is that Brook Lynn made a different decision than you, and that doesn’t make her a bad person. And I’m not judging her. But I do think that Dante deserves to know that he has a child out there somewhere. Yeah, in a perfect world, I agree with you. But this isn’t just about Dante anymore. What do you mean? That baby is all grown up. And — And what if he has a happy, blissful life, and he doesn’t even know he was adopted? You could destroy all of that. Or at the very least, cause a lot of complications. I-I wouldn’t want to do that. I know. And then there’s Brook Lynn and her family, and Dante and his. This information could destroy a lot of lives, Lulu. If you tell Dante, the fallout could be devastating. Are you ready for that? Dante. Dante: Hey, Dad. How you guys doing?

Hey.

Hey. Sonny. Uh, sit. I’ll make you a coffee. If you’re here about Deception, I suggest you do whatever it is you have to do at a more appropriate time and place — let’s say the, um, Deception offices, perhaps. I’m here to get a-a signature from Gio. That’s it. Uh-huh. Well, as he resides here, I am entitled to know what the business is you want to conduct with him. Gio, get your coat. We’ll talk someplace else. Granny, is this really necessary? You want Gio to sign anything, I want my lawyers to look at it. Uh, actually, Diane and Alexis already had everything signed up, and so your lawyers can just stay out of it. Okay, w-well, why don’t I take the papers and look at them later? I hope you don’t mind if I don’t take your word for it. Oh, no, no. Go ahead.

An educational trust? Oh. Absolutely not.

And I will tell Elizabeth Baldwin everything that we spoke about. She’s the hospital liaison for the program. I think she’s gonna love it as much as I do. Sweet. No, and if there’s anything else I can do in the meantime, just let me know. I will. I don’t know if Trina told you, but I started the program in honor of my son, Oscar, who died of cancer when he was a teenager. Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that. Um, yeah, Kai and I actually haven’t talked about Oscar, but Joss and I talk about him all the time. And, you know, we miss him so much, and I just — I think that he’d really love this program. I think so, too. You and I really have lost some amazing people, haven’t we? Yeah. Too many. Um, well, actually, I think my mom is in her office. Are you gonna see her before you leave? You know, I just might. You’re being blackmailed? Yes. By two people, actually. Uh, unrelated people? A few months ago, a lab tech found out that I altered Heather’s test results. But he’s just been asking for, you know, little stuff like a day off or permission to go to a medical conference out of town. It’s not great, but it’s not my biggest concern. Someone else found out what I did. Drew Quartermaine. Congressman Quartermaine? There was a time that Drew and Curtis were best friends, but all of a sudden, Drew changed. He just turned into this horrible person. And now Curtis and Drew are at war, especially over Aurora. And now Drew is holding what I did over my head. What does he want? He wants me to broker a sit-down between him and Curtis so that I can convince Curtis to end the war. How much does Curtis know? Curtis values honesty, okay, above all else. So I told him that I tampered with Heather Webber’s test results. But what about you being blackmailed? He doesn’t know about that part. I see. So what am I supposed to do? Betray my husband on Drew’s behalf? Or tell Curtis the truth — that I’ve been keeping this secret from him for months. Well, I’m afraid you are in what we call in the legal community between a rock and a hard place. I don’t want to lose my job. I am scared to lose my medical license. But Curtis? He’s the one that I don’t want to lose the most. Why does Martin have this information to begin with? I’m not sure. But I know that Brook Lynn and Chase have been trying to have a baby, and they recently found out that Chase is sterile. That’s not public knowledge, by the way. So maybe Brook Lynn’s thinking about finding the baby she gave up. Makes as much sense as anything else. This whole thing just kills me. Uh, Dante would never think Brook Lynn would keep something like this from him. He thinks she’s such a good person. Okay. Look. I need to ask you a question. Is this about your rivalry with Brook Lynn? Not at all. I am not that petty, I swear. I just think that Dante deserves to know he has a son. Okay. But just know if you tell Dante, he may be inclined to shoot the messenger. I know. I was up all night last night going over this again and again in my head. Think about it. This child is Rocco’s brother. And he’s a Quartermaine. He’s Tracy’s great-grandson. And Lois, Ned, and Olivia are all his grandparents. And Sonny. And Sonny. So say I do keep this secret. That means you have to keep it, too. Are you sure you can keep this from your kids and from Sonny? Don’t sign it. Don’t even read it. I’m giving it back to Sonny. Don’t you ever get tired of being so self-righteous? I really don’t. Granny, maybe you should just stay out of this. I agree. Sonny has been paying for Gio’s tuition for years. Since I was 12 when my mom died. And I’m happy to do it. He’s a great kid, and he’s talented. He should pursue his dreams. But he’s older now. He’s more independent. He deserves to have a trust if he needs to get some money. It appears you’ve been very generous with Gio in the past, but that was before he came here. So as of now, his education will be managed by us. Tracy, I don’t know what the big deal is, really. I mean, he does the same thing for Rocco. What Sonny provides for his grandchildren is Sonny’s business. I will not allow Gio to be the beneficiary of Sonny’s ill-gotten gains. And I’m shocked you don’t agree with me, considering you usually wear a badge. And you. This man that you keep defending has been indicted on racketeering charges more times than I can remember. Do you really want him involved in Gio’s education? And you, my darling girl. Bad enough you were on board with letting Sonny get embedded in Deception. Now you want him embedded in Gio’s finances? Absolutely not. I won’t have it. Tracy, Tracy, leave them out of it, okay? If you want to say anything to me, just say it to my face. [ Chuckling ] Oh. My apologies. I thought I had. I will not allow that young man to be hurt by you. I have borne witness to the chaos you have wrought, and usually to impressionable and naive young people like Stone, Karen, Jason. Tracy, enough! This isn’t about my past. It’s about Gio. Um… Go ahead and sign that whenever you can and get it back to me. No, it’s — it’s okay.

Dante: I’ll walk you out.

Lois: We’ll go with you.

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

Wow. Look at that cast you’re rocking. I love it. Did you pick out the color yourself? I chose pink. It’s my mom’s favorite, but I’m not sure it’ll help. She’s still gonna be mad. Oh, for a minute, maybe. But mostly she’s just gonna be happy that you’re okay. I looked at the X-rays, and it’s a clean break. So you’ll be back to throwing fastballs and riding horses in no time. Dr. Gannon is right. It won’t even interfere with your spring break plans with Wiley. Well, I guess we better get home and face the music. Thank you so much for all of your help. Anytime. Come on, sweetie. Wish me luck. I know you. James, that is rude to point to people. I am so sorry about that. No, it’s okay. Hey, bud. What happened to you? I sledded off the roof. Wow. Well, I just got tackled wrong. You’re that football guy. You’re like a star. I see you on TV.

Take a breath. Okay? Alright? Let me do some research. Mm-hmm. I can assess the personal and professional fallout of your actions, should you be exposed. And what do I do in the meantime? Just keep this to yourself, okay? As hard as it’s gonna be, do not tell Curtis, at least not right now. As far as Drew is concerned, just, uh — just stall him. String him along. Make him think that you’re gonna give in to all of his demands. Okay. You’re right. I think you’re right about not telling Curtis the truth. Yeah, just for now. Right, just for now. But Curtis knows how I feel about Drew. If I’m all of a sudden sympathetic towards him, he’s gonna know that something’s up. Yeah, well, you’re gonna have to be subtle. You finesse your husband in the smallest way possible. Make Drew think that you are pressing Curtis as hard as you can. That’s exactly what Ava said. Well, Ava’s a very smart woman. And unfortunately, this is your only choice right now. Drew has to be completely convinced that you are playing by his rules. I have this feeling that you don’t like me, Miss Davis. I don’t know you. But I certainly don’t like what I’ve heard about you. Such as? Such as you held my grandson’s father, Jason Morgan, captive in Africa. That wasn’t very nice. Beyond that, I hate it here. So if you could just tell me why you asked me here so I could get going. I did make some mistakes in Africa. In my defense, that is how business is done there. You refer to kidnapping and human rights violations as mistakes. That’s interesting. I have no intention of conducting business in Port Charles in the same way. Oh, okay. That’s great to hear. But with all due respect, I don’t care because I have no plans of representing you or doing any kind of business with you. It’s not what you can or cannot do for me, it’s what I can do for you. Or more specifically, what I can give you. That was the most impressive thing I’ve seen you do yet. Wait, what? It took a lot of nerve to defy me. And you’ve done it twice. Once in defense of Scout, and just now. There’s a lot more to you than meets the eye. My family would learn from your example. Thank you for saying that. I-I know you have your reasons for how you feel about Sonny, but so do I. That is undoubtedly true. It was really hard for me when my mom passed, but Uncle Sonny made sure that I was okay. Some days, it was — it really wasn’t. And my Aunt Lois obviously helped, too, but Uncle Sonny made sure that I was always good. Sonny’s very loyal to the people he cares about. Yeah. Without my mom, it was like I was spinning. But Sonny supported my love of music, and it gave me a purpose. I-I can’t tell you how many violin recitals and concerts he sat through, but, uh — I don’t know what I would have done without him. Doesn’t matter how old you are, it’s always really painful to lose your mother. Just as Sonny is loyal to the people that he cares about, Gio, so am I. And my interaction with Sonny today had less to do with my obvious dislike of him, and more to do with my concern for you. You’re a great fit for the E.R. It would be nice to have a familiar face down here. For me, too. I love it down here. It’s exciting. I’m happy to help wherever I’m needed, but it’s nice to have that instant gratification of helping patients get treated right away. Thank you. All the kids at school are gonna be jealous when they see this. Hey, well, I’m happy to help you get some street cred. Thank you. James is a very big fan. He and his grandfather watch you play every Saturday during football season. It wasn’t a bad one, but that was the first time I ever heard my grandpa swear. [ Both laugh ] Oh, um, I hope that your physical therapy is going well, and you’ll be back on the team next season, if that’s what you want. Thank you. I do have some opportunities coming up that I’m really excited about. And one of them is right here in the pediatrics wing. Yeah. Really? Well, if this guy is any indication, you should be as big a success in pediatrics as you were on the football field. We’ll be rooting for you. Where’s the fire, counselor? Ah. Oh, no fire. I just, uh — I got a lot to do. Did you find who you were looking for earlier? Yeah, yeah, I did. It was, uh, Portia. [ Elevator bell dings ] I’m sorry, I-I just — I got to get going. I’ll see you later. Drew: I got your text. I assume that means that you’ve given my offer some thought. I have. I have. And as long as you agree not to tell what you know, I will absolutely do what you ask. I’ll convince Curtis to have a meeting with you so that you guys can bury the hatchet and mend your friendship. Good. Glad you finally came to your senses. Believe me, there’s nothing you could have that I would want. How can you be so sure? Wyndemere Castle, Spoon Island — Your family’s estate, was it not? I understand that you’re new to Port Charles, but you clearly don’t know very much about my family. Whatever you’ve got there, I don’t want it. Feel free to burn it. In fact, I encourage it. I would never burn anything as beautiful and intriguing as this.

I’m glad we talked about this. Me, too. And as for dismissing your opinions about Scout and Drew, I-I misspoke. I-I’m sorry I said what I said. It’s fine. I-I overstepped. I regret what I said. Scout is very lucky to have someone like you looking out for her. And while I certainly understand the reasons for your loyalty to Sonny, I — I just hope that it never ends up costing you someday. Alexis, give me a call when you can. Yeah, I got a-a signed document from Gio for you and Diane. [ Doorbell rings ] Uh, yeah, and listen, I’ll just send it over as soon as you call. Before you say anything, Tracy is wrong. And I am here to apologize on behalf of everyone who isn’t her. She had no right to stick her nose into whatever arrangement you and Gio got going on. I don’t give a damn what Tracy thinks of me. I just want Gio to have the best possible life he can have. Let me ask you a question. Do you think I should stay away from him? Carly: You know, in the past, I would have, uh, rushed out of here and gone straight to Sonny’s and told him everything that you just told me. Because family’s everything to him. But I’m not gonna do that, because family’s everything to me. And in this situation, Brook Lynn is Bobbie. I know how hard it was for my mom to give me up for adoption, and I know that it haunted her for years. I think Brook Lynn has been through enough, and I’m not gonna add to it by exposing her secret. I hadn’t really thought about how similar their situations are. But it’s not just that, you know? I may not have given up a baby, but I know a lot about making hard decisions to protect my children. It seems like the least we can do. That’s why I passed Michael off as Jason’s. So I could protect him from A.J. And Robin blew that secret up and wrecked our lives in the process. And you think that’s what I’m doing? I don’t know. Are you? Robin did have — I know I shouldn’t have lied, but I did what I thought was best for my kid. Just like my mom. Just like Brook Lynn. And just like you, when you broke into Martin’s room because you were looking for information that would lead you to Charlotte. We’re just moms doing whatever we can for our kids. I can’t argue with a single word. And I wish I could. [ Chuckles ] Did anything I say help you? I’m still not sure. I think I’ll get the clarity I’m looking for when I look into Dante’s eyes. One look, and I’ll know whether I can keep Brook Lynn’s secret… …or if I have to tell Dante everything.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[somber music plays] What more could you possibly tell me about Luna? She’s your daughter…with Poppy and she lied to you about it for years. But this is about Luna… and where she is right now. LUNA: I’ve always loved you. I always looked up to you. You were my cool older cousin, and you always made me feel so safe and seen. I can’t think of a better man than you. And now, to know that you’re my father, I mean, this is more than I could have ever wished for. BILL: Are you crying? What is it, Luna? What’s wrong? I still can’t believe that Luna Nozawa’s Finn’s daughter. Steffy’s already been through so much. I mean, when is it gonna end? When is she gonna have a normal, sane life? I know. What I’m worried about… what if Finn feels he has some kind of obligation to Luna, you know? Even if she’s in prison, he’s gonna try and do things for her, help her any way he can, and… it’s gonna hang over his marriage. -It’s not gonna go away. -Yeah, this could end up destroying what Steffy and Finn have together, no matter how hard they try not to let it. [somber music plays] HOPE: Be honest with me. Hell, be honest with yourself. You’ve developed feelings for him, haven’t you? And I’ll do you the favor. I won’t draw this out. Uh, I saw you. I saw you kissing Carter. [heavy music plays] Oh, in the CEO office. You and Carter. With the door open for anyone to walk in and see you kissing him. How could you do that, knowing… He’s the love of your life. Yes. Something that you’ve been aware of from day one. Oui. Yet, that didn’t stop you from making a move. I shouldn’t have done that. Just like you shouldn’t have convinced Carter to steal Forrester Creation from Ridge… Carter’s best friend. You heard Steffy. She hasn’t given up on Finn, even with all this stuff going on. I know, but I-I still think we were right trying to convince her to come here with the kids and stay here with us at Eric’s. And I think Steffy sees that, but then there’s a whole other part where she wants to face everything with Finn because they love each other so much. We know how much they love each other, more than ever. But Finn is asking Steffy to accept things that no wife should ever have to accept. I just–I just wanna know that she’s safe. Her and the kids. She is safe because–I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but Luna is actually in prison. I realize that that should be really comforting to me, but the fact remains that Finn has two dangerous, psychopathic family members. Hayes has a grandmother and half-sister who– I just hope our little grandson never has to know who Luna is or that she even exists. Luna, what happened? You can talk to me. You gotta know that by now. There’s nothing you can say that will shock me. STEFFY: We know where Luna is right now. She’s in prison paying for her crimes. God, I-I can’t even fathom that… that Luna’s even related to you. I mean, you’ve never done a cruel thing in your life, -but Luna, she’s– -Well, she could never catch a break, Steffy. Her life has been in constant turmoil. Finn, you’re not responsible for that. You didn’t know she was yours. No. But now that I do… [sighs] That’s what I need to talk to you about. What happens now. [uneasy music plays] [laughs] I-I am… impressed by the audacity. You knew that Carter was in a committed relationship, and yet, you kissed him anyway. -I was wrong. -Yes, you were. But instead, you wanna make this about Carter and I taking over Forrester Creations. Carter’s conscience is weighing on him. The fact that you haven’t noticed, or have, but can’t admit it to yourself– Okay, stop. Stop. What we are going to do is turn this around on me when you are the one– Who crossed a line. Yes. And I’ve admitted that. But what about you, Hope? You say that you care about Carter– I do care about him. Who are you to question that? Obviously, he’s very important to you. So let me ask you something, mon cher. Have you listened to him? Like really listened? Because if you had, you would realize that he isn’t happy with what the two of you have done. It’s just…it’s just too much to put on Steffy. Yes, it’s a shock to Finn too, but what he’s asking of her, of their marriage… Yeah. Most wives would have bolted already. -[softly] Yeah. -But not Steffy. She stands by her man. She’s one of the strongest people we know. But even the strongest people– -Strongest people break. Yes. -Yeah. She’s just going through so much right now, you know? Dealing with everything at Forrester, and then Finn’s latest discovery. I know she’s determined not to let it affect her family. That’s a lot of pressure and stress. Oh. Yeah. And don’t get me wrong–I don’t blame Finn. I love how he loves our daughter. But he’s just bringing dangerous people into Steffy’s life. Luna’s just the latest. You’re always so worried about me, how I’m doing, how I’m feeling. Well, I feel a responsibility, -as your– -Jailer? [both laugh] I hope you don’t see me that way. No. Of course not. You saved me from a life behind bars. From brutal beatings and, worst of all, no hope. I’m forever gonna be grateful to you for that. You know, uh… I did have some…trepidation about this working. Could I trust you? But so far, so good. I think. You think? Well, when I walked in here and saw you emotional, it reminded me how much we opened up to each other but that there still might be some things you wanna share with me… …but haven’t -yet. -Uh… let’s just say that for once in my life, I feel like I have a… real shot at a future. One where I can reconnect with my family. [moody music plays] “What happens now”? To be honest, Finn, I’ve barely started to process what happened, much less… work through how I feel. It’s a lot. [sighs] I know. For me too. Yeah, especially for you. But like I told my parents, I’m not going anywhere. We’re gonna face this together. It’s not gonna be easy, but… God, I’m just… I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. I just–I feel awful. And I’m just–I… I’ve upset you and… I’ve turned your life… upside down again. I’m sorry. Oh, babe. FINN: [whispers] God. [somber music plays] You…know…nothing about what Carter and I share. Of course, I listen to him. Then you should know how tormented he is about what he’s done. What he’s done is revitalize this company, tapped into its true potential. You’re proud of him for it. As well as you should be. Carter’s a remarkable businessman. Yes, he is. And you’re no longer fired. You’ve benefitted. Hope for the Future is back. What are you implying, Daphne? Are you implying that I’m using Carter? Finn and the kinda guy he is, I-I bet he woulda done anything -to spare Steffy. -I know. I know. He cherishes Steffy and their life together. If it weren’t for Sheila and Luna– They’d be walking around LA, this beautiful couple, not worrying about anything, just living their life instead of this siege. An attack on their relationship. Another test that they have to overcome. Why do Steffy and Finn have to be tested over and over again? They deserve some peace. It’s– God knows it’s long overdue. But at least she has us to lean on. We’ll keep her safe. And so will Finn. As long as he doesn’t let Luna get into his head like Sheila did. Then again…maybe she won’t, because you’re right. She’s in jail for the rest of her life. You know how they say your life can change in an instant? When you least expect it, something can happen and suddenly everything’s so different? Well, that’s kind of how it was for you, right, when you thought I was your father? Well, yeah, this whole new world opened up to me… until the truth came out and… I lost control. I couldn’t deal. But…I’m thinking of something else now. Someone else. Who? I know that it seems impossible, -but what if it’s not true? -What if what’s not true? What if my mom isn’t my only living parent? What if my father is out there, waiting for me? STEFFY: I’m trying, Finn. I really am. And as much as I wanna be a supporting, loving wife, this whole thing with Luna is… it’s incredibly hard. I know. And again, I’m so sorry. If I could spare you from this, I would. No, no, no, no, this isn’t you, Finn. This is all Poppy. She’s to blame. She took advantage of you, lying to you when she turned up pregnant. And I’m so sorry that you had to deal with something like that. And now here you are, left with the shocking realization that you have an adult daughter and it’s the same woman who tried to kill me, your wife. [somber music plays] You’re accusing me of using Carter. You’ve gotten everything you wanted… ever since Carter went against his nature, stole Forrester Creation from his best friend. You know who you’re starting to sound like? Steffy. She has used those exact words against me numerous times. Ha. And you couldn’t be more wrong about me. Was I, uh, humiliated at how my line was canceled, at how I was fired, at how I was paraded around in front of my coworkers to– to humiliate me? Yes, yes, I was. But that is because Steffy had a vendetta. So if you are going to accuse me of running after Carter and pretending to care about him… …you’d be wrong. Do not take my love and twist it to fit your warped narrative. I care about that man more than you know. So you… are not going to make another play for him. Tu comprends? [tense music plays] You know what? I’d be more worried if Luna wasn’t in jail. But knowing that she can’t hurt Steffy again… it helps me to rest a little easier. We all can. We can all rest. Especially Steffy. -Your father’s waiting for you? -[laughs] Yes. Okay, Luna, look, I-I know you don’t wanna believe that Tom Starr’s your father and you say that you feel it in your bones– I do. I always have. And for once in my life, I know without a doubt that I’m right. LUNA: I still can’t believe this is happening. All I know is that my father is here now. After a lifetime of wondering, I finally have a dad and… I couldn’t have picked a more loving, caring dad than you, Finn. [emotional music plays] I already asked so much of you… your understanding most of all, and to ask more would be… Finn, none of this is your fault. What happened with Luna is not…your fault. She wanted me out of the way. She locked me in the cage and left me in a building that was gonna be demolished. -Help. Help me! -I thought I was gonna die. Help me! I’m in here. I was gonna be buried in the rubble, and no one would ever find me. As hard as I try not to think about it, it– It still haunts me. I think like… what if Luna succeeded? I wouldn’t be able to see you again or Kelly or Hayes. And I thank God… I thank God that… that never happened… because of you. You saved me. [intense music swells] Oh, please get me out of here. Thank God I found you. I got you, okay? Your love saved me. So I don’t… I don’t blame you for being Luna’s father. I don’t blame you for being Sheila’s son. Do I wish it weren’t true? Yeah. – [Finn chuckles] -I wish they never came into our lives, but… I’m sure this is incredibly hard for you. And I know this is really confusing for you… to know that you have an adult daughter. -Yeah. -Finn. If it were anybody but Luna– anyone… I know she’s your daughter. But can we just… get Luna out of our minds? She’s locked up in prison. We don’t have to deal with her. I don’t wanna–I don’t wanna think or talk about her ever again. Can we do that? Please? [whispers] Please. [intense music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

1 [soft chuckle] I need you at my place ASAP. Ah. You look as good in the daytime as you do at night. What’s up? Whew. Last night was amazing. [Andre chuckles] Bill, you home? Just beautiful. Oh! Sweetheart, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you. No, i-it’s okay.

And I agree.

Mm. I get to call this elegant house

my home.

Mm-hmm. And this gorgeous, romantic, extremely hot man, my husband. You know, let’s have a party. I mean, look at this place. We have to show it off, like… But… nobody would come. They wouldn’t dare go against the Duprees. Yeah. That damn Dani. She’s danced through life because of her last name. And now, after actually firing a gun at our wedding, she gets off with barely a slap on the wrist. The good news is she’s done her absolute worst. You know, there’s nothing more that she or any of her family can do to hurt us now.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah.

Mm… ♪ ♪

Hey, you.

Where have you been? I, uh, dropped off the dry cleaning, got the car washed. Kids? They’re still at school. They’re hanging out with their friends at the lacrosse game. It’s all on the calendar. Yeah, everything’s on the calendar… except for what matters. Clearly, we’ve progressed from the silent treatment of last night. I thought anything would be an improvement from that. But this? Not so much. I’ve got work to do. Hey, hold on. I need you to use your words and tell me why you stormed off this morning without saying goodbye. And why you haven’t answered a single one of my texts, okay? I didn’t know I was accountable to you for every action. It’s kind of in the fine print of the marriage license, Congressman. You’re accountable to me, and I’m accountable to you. And instead of shutting down, we are considerate of each other. You consider me? Really? Hey. Martin… …this is me considering you. Tell me what’s wrong. When were you gonna let me in on what you were planning?

I don’t– I wasn’t…

I heard. You had no problem with confiding in my mother last night. Oh. [sighs] That’s all you got? If you’re accountable to me and considerate of me… …why wouldn’t you tell me that you were thinking about going back to work as an investigative reporter? Oh, Ashley, not so fast. Our departmental rock star can’t leave for the day without giving you a little something-something. You’re kidding. I don’t need all this. Delivering a baby isn’t easy in the best of circumstances. Let alone in an elevator without any of the necessary equipment.

You can say that again.

I’m glad it wasn’t me. But you, Ashley, handled it with calm, skill and joy. And we wanted to honor that.

Aw…

[clears throat] Let the record show I taught this girl everything she knows. [laughter] Glad to have you on the team, Ashley. All I did was focus on helping that mother bring her baby safely into the world. That is one lucky baby girl. [laughs] Thank you. Daddy, no, you are not wearing that tired blue suit to Mom’s gala. I look fine in that suit. You will look old in that suit. TED: I thought you liked it. KAT: Only because you said you liked it. Well, your mother liked it. And she only said that because she knows you think it makes you look “fine.” Kat, are you telling me that the women in my life have been lying to me? Only because we love you. [laughs] So wear the black and make your ladies proud. What would I do without you? Be a lonely, sad, badly dressed old man. [mock groans] You are so lucky to have us. Oh, sorry. Dr. Richardson forgot a patient file and asked me to come get it. No problem, Eva. Have you met my daughter Kat? KAT: Oh, yes. Eva and I are practically BFFs. I came to pick up my things I left the other night. You should have called first.

Hmm?

They’re still in the wash. Oh, that’s a shame. They won’t smell like you. Let me be clear, Andre. What we shared the other night was wonderful. Mm-hmm. And it can never happen again.

You mean again, again?

I mean no kind of again. Mm. Okay, got it. No more. Never again. [chuckles] Nice pig. Where’d, uh… where’d you get it? I seem to have earned a fan page on Facebook for being a total badass. No leather. But how do you really feel about it? I like it.

Mm.

I spent so many years being the perfect lady on Bill’s arm. The new image suits the new me. Besides, Bill and that little witch deserved to have that sham of a wedding disrupted. Yeah, well, you certainly did that, Cowgirl Dani. And now I am putting away my six-shooter and moving on. I am officially leaving Bill and Faylee in my dust. Does that make me sound cold and heartless? Nah. You? The last thing I would ever call you is cold. All right, now go, Andre. My daughter’s coming over. Ah. Thanks for the explanation. I would hate to think that I was losing my touch. [chuckles] Later, Dani. Goodbye, Andre. [door closes] I got your message, Mom. What’s wrong now? If he has any questions, he can call me at home. Mm-hmm. I know. [chuckles] Okay. Yes. Thanks, Caroline. Thanks. She shouldn’t be bothering you on your honeymoon like that. Oh, it’s fine. And this case is really interesting. Yeah, babe, but that’s just because it’s relatively new to you, so… I think that it may be better that you leave now before you become disillusioned.

Are you firing me?

No. Never, babe. No, I just… I think it makes sense for you to resign. [scoffs] I’m not doing that, Bill. Baby, there is no need for you to continue working as a paralegal when there’s a busy social world ready to bow before the new Mrs. Bill Hamilton. But to quit my job? What is the issue? Well, Caroline and the rest of the staff are the only friends that I have here. And… plus, wouldn’t you miss seeing me at the office every day?

[chuckles]

Hmm? Believe me, baby, if I could spend every minute of every day in your arms, I’d be a very happy man. But I’m just thinking of you, that’s all. I think you should be a little more independent. Wouldn’t quitting my job make me more dependent? Mm. Maybe a little more pampered. Acceptance of this gift shall not be construed as an indication of intent for me to terminate my current employment.

[chuckles] Duly noted.

Okay. What’s the occasion? Just loving you. Well, that’s the gift, sweetheart. Nothing in this box can top that. Mm. Good.

A credit card.

Mm-hmm. And that card has no limit. It’s good everywhere, and you’ll never have to see a statement. That is real independence. Aw. I love you so much.

You better, baby.

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re welcome. Ooh. I’m so sorry it’s taking me so long to clock out, babe, but I had to answer a couple patient calls, and I really want to get these handoff reports right. Take your time. I think I should send thank you notes to everybody for the gift basket and flowers. I mean, it’s too much. I was just doing my job. Andre was here, too. I’m sure the photographer was a lot of help. He really was. He has a good sense of humor.

And that kept mom-to-be calm.

[phone buzzes] Now, I just have to… [laughs] Andre found out that his aunt sent me flowers, and he gave me a daisy GIF…

Aw.

…to make sure he wasn’t left out. He spends, like, no money and gets a laugh. I drop serious cash, what do I get? You know, the best part of this whole thing is I made you proud. Always. No getting carried away at work. You’ll destroy my rep. Then let’s get out of here. Get busy in private. Okay, just a sec. Andre officially thanked, and now I just have to clock out. Please tell me you haven’t signed out yet. I was just about to, but… If you can hold off on that,

I could really use your help.

Sure. We are about to get slammed with new admissions, and the patient in 312 has been waiting hours for his discharge papers.

His doctor is…

I’ll handle it. And I’ll check in with you and see if you need any more help before we leave. Oh, that’d be great. Thanks, Ash. Sorry, Derek.

Derek…

I’ll hang out in the waiting room

until you’re done.

Thanks. Maybe text Naomi and Jacob. I feel like it’s been forever since we did one of our couples things.

All right, I’ll see if they’re free.

Great. So, Eva, how has it been working for my wife? Is there anything else that we can do to make your job easier here? Thanks, Ted, but I’m good. Working for Nicole is fun and kind of exciting. I’m sure it is. I mean, this is the first real job you’ve ever had, right?

Kat!

I checked out your social media, and all I could find were some pictures of you doing your friend’s hair. Oh, they’re clients, not friends. On a salon site where you worked for, like, a minute. Nothing else. Why is that? I apologize for my daughter. I did not raise her to grill anyone like this. It’s a simple question. What did Eva do for a living before Mom hired her? It’s okay, Ted. Kat doesn’t know me, and I get that she’s curious. The fact is, I’ve had a few side gigs, and I’ve always been good with hair, so it’s been an easy way for me to help my surrogate mom out with the bills. It’s been touch and go, financially, since her husband died. I think that is admirable, Eva. Now, can someone please tell me why my daughter is interrogating my assistant? I am asking questions you apparently didn’t bother to ask your new assistant about her background and experience. I can handle my own employees, Kat, thank you very much. I’m just trying to help. And I’ve got some bad news. I won’t be at your award ceremony. No, you have to be there. This is a major honor for your mother. I know, and I really am sorry, Mom. I would be there if I could, but I have got… this business thing out of town. If there are any last-minute details I can help with, though… We’ll figure it out. You and Eva. Got it. Oh, and I convinced Dad to ditch the blue suit. You’re welcome. I’m just glad you’re okay. You sounded strange

on the phone.

Well, hopefully I have left all strange behavior behind me. Then why the call? Is it about the video? Because I checked the stats and it seems to be finally running its course. Not entirely. Somebody made a creepy fan page? I don’t think it’s creepy. I think I look pretty damn good. Don’t you? This isn’t funny, Mom. If I hadn’t been recording… Hey, recording your life is part of the brand that we work so hard to create. There is no one here to blame but me. I acted a fool. Well, after the way Dad treated you… The most important thing is that we put your father and his child bride in our rearview. I can do that.

Can you?

Yes. Mom, if you keep letting them get to you, they win. We can’t have that. I am moving forward with the wonderful future that I planned for the two of us. The modeling world hasn’t seen half of what you’re capable of, but the two of us, working together, we will blow them away. Chelsea, from now on, you have all of me. Nicole, this tribute video, do you want me to make copies or distribute it to anyone? I think Andre has that covered. Oh, do you think we can get Andre to highlight that part where we were reminiscing

about when we first met?

Of course. We can take notes tonight and give them to Andre to edit. I can’t wait for the world to see you the way I always have. Working on your rĂ©sumĂ©? I’m putting the finishing touches on the constituent services article you asked me to draft for you. Oh. Forgot about that. Thanks. And thank you for giving me some time to cool down. I know you and I love you, Martin. And I was never gonna go back to work without talking to you first. So let’s talk. Okay. I hate it. Conversation over. Now who’s being selfish? I get to have a life, too. You don’t think being my husband and raising our kids is a life? Good to know. Do not even try that. I may not be a U.S. congressman or a member of the almighty Dupree family except by marriage, but it doesn’t mean that my needs and dreams are gonna be ignored by default. And I am not gonna put my life on hold just to avoid upsetting you. [door opens, closes] I promise. I’ll do better. Don’t make drunken promises, Rory. But when you sober up, try to remember there are people out here who will help you if you ask. And then? Ask. Take care of yourself, now. I didn’t realize I had an audience. Which makes you even more wonderful. That for me? Yeah, just trying to distract you from the fact that I’m interrupting you at your job. [Naomi clears throat] Something’s wrong. I work at a police station, Naomi.

Wrong is the norm.

No, no, no. Something’s wrong with you. Go ahead, start talking before I snatch that coffee back. I’m mad at myself for not doing anything to stop Dani at Bill and Hayley’s wedding. So that means your favorite cop is really bad at his job. [sighs] Let’s see. Okay. Oh… [sighs] Hey, cuz. Can’t talk long. I’m waiting for my date.

First date?

Skip the lecture. Tell me what you need. I need to vent after dealing with my mom and her little assistant. I’m picking up you don’t like the assistant. That’s because there is not a genuine bone in Eva’s fake ass and knockoff dress body. Uh-huh. Uh-huh what? You’re calling me a snob. Not out loud. I was thinking it real hard, though. Just because I don’t trust her and I’m sticking around to keep an eye on that sneaky little instigator does not mean… Oh. Gotta go. My date’s here. [sighs] Be careful, Chels. “Careful” is not in the plan for tonight. Okay. Thank you so much. EVA: Ashley. How are you doing? Hey, Eva. I’m good. You’ve been busy. That elevator baby is all anybody can talk about. Ah, I just did what anyone else would have done. Can I help you with something? Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but I’m filling in as Dr. Nicole Richardson’s assistant. ASHELY: I did hear. I’m glad we’ll sort of be working together. Right. I need to check on accessing files for a new admission. Oh, we just added it to the system. Eva, you should be good now. Oh, thanks. Naomi and Jacob are a go for drinks. Oh, I’m so glad they can make it. Night, Shanice. Thanks again for your help today. Anytime. You are going to enjoy working with Dr. Richardson. She’s the best.

Thanks. Bye.

Bye. Babe. Let’s go meet Ashley and Derek. I have to come back to work after, though. You know, I hate that you blame yourself for what happened at my dad’s wedding. Yeah, it was bugging me so much, I had to speak to my father about it. What did Elon say? That it wasn’t a dereliction of duty on my part, so… The chief of police should know.

[sighs]

You were being a good guy, like always, standing by your wife. You did it for me. Girl, I find it damn near impossible to say no to you.

[laughs]

You know that? The feeling is mutual. And now that Dad is married and Mom has thrown a public fit, the family drama is over and we can go back to normal.

Okay?

Okay.

Come on.

Yeah, let’s go. I’m serious. I’m literally the most boring person

on the planet.

Are you sure? There’s a lot of competition out there. I’ve got them all beat. I thought about lying to folks and telling them I’m a fighter pilot or an astronaut. Anything other than a tech nerd. Tech nerds are the new rock stars. You’re thinking about billionaire tech nerds. That’s the kind of guy that should be here with you. I mean, you’re a top model and a prominent social influencer, and yet you sit there. God, you’re gorgeous. Listening to me drone on. I am much too ordinary to be with someone like you. I think ordinary looks good on you. Guess it’s time to start being interesting. [chuckles] Let’s get this party started. Don’t worry. I’m unarmed. You don’t have to be carrying to be dangerous, Dani. And yet you let me in. Better for you to say what you came to say in here than on the doorstep. This is nice. Bill hired Glorietta Interiors, am I right? I’m sure you didn’t come here to judge my living room. Nervous, Hayley? If you try anything, Bill is right upstairs. Daddy to the rescue. We did think of you as a daughter at one point. Now I’m not here for Bill. I was, uh, talking to Chelsea, and I realized that if I am going to step into my future, I need to slam the door on my past. So I am here to have a long overdue conversation, woman to woman. I’ll settle for you. I will not allow you to abuse me in my own home. Oh, aren’t you special? Demanding that kind of courtesy after abusing my trust in my home?

We’ve already discussed–

Had this out? Not even close. It would be one thing if you were some girl I had never met. But you knew me, Hayley. Had my phone number in your phone and never hesitated to use it. I gotta give you your props, though. You never let on. You were sleeping with my husband and there wasn’t even a lift in your eyebrow to signal that change. You could have distanced yourself from me, stopped making yourself comfortable in my living room, but you never let your mask drop. You lied and kept on lying with every hug and every smile. Look, I never meant to do– Nobody cares what you meant. What matters is what you did. What you did to me? Bad. But what you did to my daughter? To Naomi? There is no measure for the depth of that betrayal. Do you have any idea how guilty she feels for befriending you, only to have you turn around and become her stepmother? Are you ashamed yet, Hayley? Because you should be. Why do you think I asked Bill to back off with you? I’m not proud of what I did. The thought of hurting you and Naomi really cut me deep inside– Spare me the crocodile tears. You had your eyes set on becoming Mrs. Bill Hamilton, and you didn’t care that the position was already taken. Look, I am sorry, Dani. Look, I said it before, and I hope you can hear it this time. I hear you. And you’ll be even sorrier. Are you threatening me? I’m informing you. The fairy tale never tells you how Prince Charming can become a real son of a bitch once that ring goes on your finger. I have wasted enough time on you and Bill, so I will keep my distance. And I suggest you do the same. That’s my best offer. Take it. Okay. Must have been my imagination, but I could have sworn I just heard Dani’s grating tone in here. No, she was just here. Wha… Baby, you should have called me. [sighs] Look, I think, in her own way, Dani came by to…. offer an olive branch. She said she needed to get some things off her chest so she could move on. Babe, no, okay? That– That’s her story for today, okay? And tomorrow, she’ll find another excuse to make our lives a living hell. Hayley, baby. Hey, look at me. Hey, listen. I need you to hear me well. Okay? You cannot trust Dani. [sighs]

Hi, guys.

Hey. Got your text. There’s a virgin mojito

and an NA beer headed this way.

Okay.

Thanks, man.

Yeah. So, tell us about your new job.

It’s great.

NAOMI: Yeah?

Okay. Wait. Is that Chelsea over there?

It is.

And who’s the guy? Probably some guy hitting on her, like always. Or is it the other way around this time? [laughter] Fascinating as your sister’s sex life always is, I’d much rather talk about the fascinating ladies at this table.

Yes.

Well, I heard somebody got flowers today, and it wasn’t me. [laughs] Derek gave them to me. Plus, she got a bouquet from all her friends at the hospital. Wow. You’re raking it in, Ash. Maybe I should deliver babies in an elevator more often.

[laughter]

Just say when. Hey, Andre. My partner in crime. More like birthing partner. Hey, sort of cousin. So Andre is my Uncle Ted’s nephew. You got all kinds of connections at the table. Are you busy? You want to join us?

I don’t want to intrude.

DEREK: No, you’re not. Any friend of my girlfriend is someone I’d like to know. Okay. Yeah. Get a chair. What are you doing here? Grabbing a drink? Eh, just around.

NAOMI: Just around?

In and out. You’re so mysterious. [laughter] I didn’t mean to sound insensitive or uncaring. You know I love you. Sometimes I wonder. Never doubt that. I couldn’t fathom what my life would be without you in it. And yes, I admit I don’t want you to go back to work. It’s true. But the traditional family optics of a stay-at-home parent, it’s what works best for the game plan. And you raising our kids projects stability in our lives. And me going back to work projects that there’s a whole country full of stable families with two working parents. We could be one of them. We can’t just look like an ordinary family. We have to be extraordinarily ordinary. For you to achieve your goals.

Our goals.

No, Martin. Your goals. Everything you just said is about you. Your goals, your needs. Most of all, your need for me to be a househusband for you to achieve them. And I’m sorry, but that’s not good enough for me. Not anymore. And what happens when you stumble across a big story? Somebody higher up the food chain will take it and run with it. No way. You might not remember what a great reporter you are, but I do. They will see how shrewd and astute you are, and you will become front and center. Martin, I need this.

What about what I need?

Look… …we don’t have to deal with this right now. Don’t handle me, Smitty. Listen to me. You will stick to the role you promised and let this job idea go. Am I understood? Yeah. You are. Well, if Dani’s willing to call a truce, I could have a real chance at being accepted here in Fairmont Crest. [sighs] Expecting peace from Dani is a fantasy that will never be realized, babe. Maybe it will. Please, give it a chance. Even if it doesn’t have a chance in hell of working? Bill… All right. [chuckles] I’ll do anything for you. [laughter] I was a wreck when I realized that baby was coming but the elevator wasn’t. Oh, man. But Ashley? Total pro. She didn’t even flinch.

JACOB: Wow.

She knew exactly what to do. Oh, I flinched. And I didn’t have a clue. No one could tell. [exhales] Sounds terrifying. I thought I was going to lose it. But Andre kept his cool. He said all the right things. He made sure we were both calm and focused. You saved the day. I’m sure you could have managed just fine without the towel.

[laughter]

JACOB: Okay. I still can’t get over the fact that Alex named her daughter after us.

Mm.

Wow.

DEREK: Whenever anyone asks where that child got the name “Ashley Andrea,” she’s gonna have hell of a story to tell.

NAOMI: Yeah.

Ashley and I and that baby will always have that link. Well, not much of one, right? It’s not like y’all are gonna be spending too much time together in the future. Well, I don’t know about that. Miracles always leave some kind of mark.

Okay.

Yeah, I guess.

Let’s-let’s drink to that.

Okay.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers. This is my brilliant plastic surgeon husband, Dr. Ted… [door opens] This is getting to be a habit. Well, this has been fun, but I really should be going. So soon? Why? What did you have in mind? Um, my place. I thought you’d never ask. [pop song playing] Hey, honey. Chelsea, this is my wife, Allison. I’ve been dying to meet you. I don’t know. Something just came over me. Like, I-I can’t even remember how I did it. I think just– adrenaline just told me what to do.

It had to.

DEREK: That’s scary, right?

Yeah.

I got a thing, so… Oh, okay.

Thanks for joining us.

Yeah.

Hey, thanks for the drink.

Sure thing. We’ll do it again sometime.

Good to see you, Naomi.

You too, Andre. Ashley. See you around. Don’t deliver any babies without me. [soft laughter] Want another drink? Um… I think I’m ready for home.

Then I am, too.

[laughs]

Night, guys.

Oh. Good night.

Thanks for making this happen tonight.

DEREK: Yes. Here we go.

Wow. Well, see you soon.

Thanks, babe. Mm-hmm. Seems like everyone has someplace they can’t wait to be. So do we. We just can’t get there for a few more hours. [groans] Have I told you lately how lucky I am to have you in my life? I was thinking the exact same thing. And if we ever forget that… We won’t. All right? We won’t let that happen. I promise. Come on. I want to thank you for being there for me, Caroline. Maybe I can take you out to a nice lunch at the country club to show my gratitude? [Hayley laughs] Yes. Okay. Yes, we will take an extended lunch hour. I’ll clear it over with the boss. Ooh, yeah, I’d like that, too. Pick a date. Uh-huh. Dani? No more worries there. All right.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

I can’t believe you’re having a muffin. You should know by now I take muffins very seriously. I thought you’d be full. What? After all the stuffed French toast she made for breakfast this morning? It was that or the cheesecake you had flown in. Well, I am saving that for you. Well, maybe if you behave yourself, I’ll share. Oh.

That’s Connor.

Oh. He wants to stay late after school today. And try out for the baseball team. What– what are you gonna say? You know I’m gonna tell him that we’re proud of him and he should go for it– Hold on, hold on a second. Can we just talk about this? Connor’s never played organized baseball before. Chelsea, this is huge. I mean, it wasn’t that long ago that Connor wouldn’t even attempt something new like this. I know, but it’s a lot. Baseball players are notoriously… What? What? Superstitious? Ritualistic. They need to do certain things a certain amount of time before they step up to the plate or throw that pitch. You think I’m being crazy? No. No, I think that you’re being loving and caring.

[sighs]

I think you’re being a mom. I mean, I never would have thought about it, but you’re right. Baseball for someone that has OCD could turn out to be a nightmare. [sighs] He really wants to do it. What do we say? “I know you’re probably worried, “this being a new thing and all, “and the fact that baseball can create some OCD tendencies…” “…but if every time I step up to the plate, I promise not to spit and grab my–” Okay, okay. “But can you trust that I’ll use my tools “to help my anxiety? I really want to do this.” Oh. It’s hard to say no to. “And there’s a cute girl that plays in the right field. I need an excuse to be around her.” Oh, my gosh, no. It’s really hard to say no. [sighs] What are you saying? I’m going to tell him to go for it. Are you talking about baseball or are you talking about the cute outfielder?

[puts down phone]

Both. [puts down phone]

Some kid we raise there.

Yeah. With Connor, we hit a home run. DIANE: Thank you. [indistinct chattering] Oh, good morning, Jack. Good morning, Nikki. Nikki, Victor. It’s nice to see you. VICTOR: How do you do? Mm, looks like you’re recovering well from being shot. Strong as a mule. So why don’t you two enjoy your breakfast? Are you staying at the club? Actually, we’re doing a little redecorating at the Abbott house. VICTOR: Really? Were you inspired by the renovation of the Newman Ranch? Uh, well, you have excellent taste, Jack. No, truth is, this project, I have put all my faith in my wife. Well, I’m sure you have some input. Oh, no, no, no, Jack has given me carte blanche. Well, you enjoy your morning. Jack, if you don’t mind… you and I have a word? You want to talk to me? Well, let me guess. You wanted to know where I acquired my stylish new suit. I’d be happy to have my assistant connect you with my tailor. How did you guess? How kind of you. My goodness. Let me ask you something. What delusion inspired you to encourage your idiot brother to compete with Newman Media? Do you think Connor has a shot with this girl on the baseball team? Well, he does have my good looks. And my charming personality. Kind of like his chances.

Hey.

Billy, hi. Sorry to interrupt. No, not at all. We’ve just got some good news. Connor is trying out for his school baseball team. Oh, yeah, that’s– That’s wonderful news. Remember when we took him to the Brewers game?

Of course.

Yeah. He had a good feel for it. He’s already great at hockey and soccer, so I’m sure he’ll pick it up pretty quickly. If it’s okay with you and Connor, of course, I can see if Johnny and Katie want to get together and go to the batting cages over the weekend, maybe? Oh, I think he’d appreciate that. I’d do anything for the kid. How’s he doing otherwise? He’s good. He’s loving living at the ranch. BILLY: Mm-hm. It’s great. I got a busy day, I’ll see you soon. Hey, before you start that busy day, can I ask you something? Sure, Adam, what is it? Is today the day you officially launch your attack on me and Newman Media? I’m curious where you’re getting your information. You know me long enough, Jack, to be informed about the fact that I know everything that goes on in the corporate business world. And you’ll cross any and all lines, ethically and legally, to do just that? Oh, please, Diane. You’re hardly one to give a lecture on ethics. All right, then I’ll just say this, Victor, after taking a bullet for your family, maybe you should focus on healing instead of taking shots at our family. Now, why in the world would I miss the spectacle of Billy boy going down in flames while squandering Jack’s money? Oh, thank you for your concern about our finances. I think we’ll be okay. Why did you allow Billy Boy Abbott to call it Abbott Communications? You damn well know that will ensure the company going down in flames and adding another stain to John Abbott’s great reputation. Sorry, Adam, but I– I think you’ve been the victim of misinformation. Oh, no, my sources are very reliable. Starting a media company, one that’s in direct competition with mine. It’s just like you, isn’t it? To think everything in life is a competition. Well, there’s no contest here. Everyone knows that Newman is the undisputed leader in the media space. So any challenge that you try to mount against it is doomed to end in failure. Do you both really need to do this now? I mean, you could’ve talked Jack into bankrolling any type of business, but somehow you just had to stake your claim in media. You honestly think this is about you? Damn right I do. It’s about me, and it’s about my father and how your hatred for us, it drives everything that you do. I used to think that way, you’re right. But I don’t anymore. I’ve moved on. I’m sure you have. Actually, Adam, my company’s gonna be the antithesis of Newman Media. Right. It’s called Abbott Communications, not Newman. It’s really original. But with your name on it, it’s doomed to fail. We’re gonna act responsible because we believe the truth matters. We will be the relevant source of accurate information, unlike the blunt force object you and your father have turned Newman Media into to simply bludgeon your enemies into submission. A blunt force object? Is that part of the purple prose that you will be using? Now you’re still licking your wounds over our fair and balanced coverage of your corporate mismanagement and malfeasance. You know, the truth does matter, Billy, and sometimes the truth, it hurts. Well, I agree with you. Truth is, I’m proud of what I did at that company up until the point that your father took advantage of my mother’s poor health and stole that company away from me. Yeah, you claim that you’re starting a more honest and unbiased enterprise, but you just made it clear you’re all about the spin. It’s just poor Billy Abbott. He’s a victim of everyone else’s ill intentions. No, I’m not a victim. Not anymore. And I’m done being reactive, Adam. I’m gonna take this opportunity and actually try to improve people’s lives. Unlike you, I’m gonna use my privilege for good in this world. Right. Well, haters gonna hate, huh? I found my voice, and it’s an optimistic one. And I can’t imagine a better person to help you put aside your larger-than-life insecurities and your petty grievances to make the world a better place than Phyllis Summers. I mean, she’s the first person that comes to mind when I think of the power of positivity. Seriously, Victor, trying to get a rise out of Jack by invoking John Abbott’s good name? That’s low, even by your standards. John Abbott, may he rest in peace, would not stoop to respond, and neither will I. I will– I will say this, though. I am very proud of my brother’s newest endeavor. So would my father be. As a matter of fact, I wish my father was still alive to see his youngest son make his mark on the world. And I can understand why you and Adam might be a little nervous right now. The only mark your idiot brother will ever leave in this world is to sully the already tainted Abbott name. Well, there you go underestimating people again. Seems to me the last time you did that, you handed Diane Glissade thinking it was a mere shell of itself. And then you learned that Jack burned you at your fire sale of the company’s holdings. And Jack made Glissade whole again. Let me just say I want you to enjoy the victory as long as it lasts. Well, thank you. We will. And I do grow tired of your baseless predictions about the Abbotts family’s doom and gloom ahead. We’re doing just fine. You know, Jack, it’s easy to fix a window dressing of a home, but you’re dealing with cracks in the foundation. The entire house will soon… …lay in ruins. Well, we shouldn’t keep you from your breakfast. Oh, please. Your fake politeness doesn’t hide the fact that you’re as dismissive as your husband. I didn’t see any point in continuing to let the barbs fly, whereas I know that you feed off of anger and vitriol. In the spirit of easing the hostilities between the two of us, can I propose that we make a pact, you and I? Huh? You’re feeling the pressure, huh? You’re taking shots of me now, you’re taking shots of Phyllis. I’m just doing some field reporting, trying to get a quote out of you. You’re trying to get a rise out of me, because that’s the kind of weak journalism that Newman Media is known for. I think you’d want the free publicity. Hatchet jobs, lies, innuendo, that’ all free, is it? Okay, that enough, both of you. She’s right. And I’m not gonna let you drag me into a fight that is, frankly, beneath me. Hm, so you’re going on the record? I can quote your denial that you are gunning for me in Newman Media? Adam, I’m not surprised, given your shortcomings, that you’re very nervous about my impending success, but I will give you this story, okay? Abbott Communications is ready to launch, and sky’s the limit. Well, thank you for the scoop. Although I think that is a story for Newman Publishing. We’ll let them decide if it’s fantasy or fiction. Oh, excuse me. I have a real company to run. Thank you very much. [Chelsea exhales] Sorry about that. No, I’m sorry that you had to sit there through that. I’m sure that’s getting very old. For the record, Chelsea, he started it. So… Are you really starting your own company? I am. And it would have been nice to release that information myself, but that’s how it goes. Any idea how he, uh, learned about this? I’d have to guess Victor. You know how good that man is at finding out information. Hey, um… Adam isn’t right, is he?

Very rarely is he right.

[scoffs] Billy, you know what I’m saying. You don’t plan to use your new company to go after Victor and Adam? I’m being honest with you, Chelsea. I’ve moved on from that. Well, I’m glad to hear it. You? You seem good. I am. You mentioned that Connor’s enjoying living at the ranch. Mm-hm. How is it being under the same roof with Adam again? I mean, you share an address now. Seems to me you’re sharing a little bit more than that, too. Are you high on pills again? Victor, what on earth? I mean, why the hell would I sign any pact with you or anyone in your family? Because you care about your family. Look, you love your granddaughter. I love my son. Why don’t you and I agree right here and now to keep Kyle and Claire out of our battles? It would be the right thing to do. Well, I hate to say it, and I probably never will again, but I agree with Diane. Well, I disagree. I do not want my granddaughter to give any part of her heart to your son. But, Victor, that would be Claire’s choice. You’re asking me to stop protecting my family that I love? Ain’t gonna happen. Then, sadly, I can predict your family’s future. Neither Claire nor Kyle will pay any attention to your bluster. You will drive Claire away, just as you have all of your children with your constant disapproval of their choices. Do I need to remind you that no relationship between a Newman and an Abbott has ever lasted? I do not want my granddaughter to be involved with your son. It’s gonna end in heartache.

JACK: Thank you.

Yeah, thanks. Look, I know what Victor said upset you, but I’m really proud of you for taking the high road and sticking up for Kyle and Claire. Right now, I’m a lot less concerned about our son than I am about Billy. Well, we shouldn’t be too surprised that Victor found out about Abbott Communications or that you’re the chief investor. All conversations were internal. We have not done a press release. Yeah, but we both know leaks happen. Maybe– maybe Billy said something to Victoria or to their kids and it got back to Victor. JACK: I’m telling you he is more tight-lipped than that. He knows better than to show his hand. But Phyllis is a wild card. Maybe she blabbed to Nick. Uh, Phyllis is a concern. Yeah, I can just see her walking around, bragging about her new position over inflating her role and its importance to anyone who will listen. Perhaps, but we haven’t seen her in town lately. No, we haven’t. Not that I’m complaining. Well, I told Victor to respect Kyle and Claire’s choices. I guess I have to respect Billy’s. And no, I wouldn’t have chosen Phyllis for this particular battle. We both know Victor is going to pull no punches. You just can’t pass up any chance to take jabs at Jack or his family. Now, darling, you just told us that you now realize how short life is. So why can’t you just let it go? Sweetheart, Billy Boy Abbott is making a run at one of my companies. Do you think I’m gonna let that go? And you are sure that he will fail, so why waste a second worrying about it? Am I worried? I have full confidence that Adam will win if it comes to competition between him and Billy Boy Abbott. I promise you. Adam and I were just sharing our excitement over Connor’s news, as I told you. Well, that’s good, you seem pleased. What is that supposed to mean? When I walked in, it looked like you two were holding hands. I guess that’s none of my business, is it? No, no, actually, it’s– it’s not. I crossed the line. [sighs] I know you warned me about moving in with Adam, and it did take me some time to get comfortable– You being comfortable with Adam, is that really about Connor or is that about you two reconnecting? Why are you asking me this, Billy? Because despite what happened to us, Chelsea, I still care about you. And I don’t want you to get hurt. And that is what Adam does to people he cares about. Are we talking about Sally now? Sally, yes– Well, you certainly helped her heal. If you’re implying that it’s a rebound, that’s– that’s not what this is. I am not implying anything. I’m just observing. The same way you observed Adam and me bonding over Connor’s progress. Okay, well… We’re good together. And we’re having fun. Good. Then I’m happy for you. Thank you.

[sighs]

Look, Chelsea, Adam has hurt you in the past, okay? So be careful. Also, what I’m building with Abbott Communications has nothing to do with the Newmans. I want you to know those two things. I know what Adam is capable of, and I can take care of myself. You’re damn right you can’t. But I appreciate that you care. And that you still want to protect me. That’s not gonna change. You don’t have to worry about me. And I made my boundaries very clear with Adam. ADAM: I thought you were leaving. I am. Well, then go. Unless there’s another area of my life you’d like to stick your nose into. Adam, I already told you that I’m not interested in going another round with you. I came here to grab a coffee, and then you attacked me not once, but twice. It’s a disturbing pattern. And how is that? We all know that you put out a hatchet job on me when I was at Chancellor. Now you found out that I’m starting my own media company– I think it’s pretty clear I’m not the one with an axe to grind. Good to see you, Chelsea. Let me know if you want to get the kids together. Will do, thanks. You believe that guy? [Chelsea sighs] Why’d you have to go after him like that, so aggressively? Billy started it. He’s starting a media company. He’s building it from the ground up with the sole purpose of going after the business that I run. When it comes to him, though, you take everything so personally. Okay, well, I left for a minute, and I come back here to hear him grilling you about my personal life. I heard what you told him. About how you wanted to set clear boundaries with me. No, I– That– [sighs] You and I have talked about that. Well, of course we’ve talked about it, because it’s about us, and it has nothing to do with Billy Abbott. It’s none of his business. He should worry about himself and his own issues. He’s a loser, and he always will be. Oh, come on. That’s not fair. Is it really his fault Jill and Victor ripped Chancellor out from under him?

Absolutely.

[sighs] He was failing, and they did what they had to do to save their company. And this Abbott Communications is gonna fail, too. Only this time, he’s not gonna have anybody to bail him out. If you truly feel that way about Billy’s latest business venture, then why are you acting so threatened by it? I guess I’m gonna have to take Billy’s word for it that he’s focused on building something new for the Abbotts and not fighting old fights with the Newmans.

Mm.

So… How’s your work coming at the house? You promised me that you’d be patient, and I seem to recall you agreeing that you would trust me the way Billy trusted Sally. Sally wasn’t redoing his ancestral abode. [laughing] I see you’re using humor to mask your anxiety. I– I don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm for this particular project– DIANE: Jack, I understand. Victor hit a nerve when he talked about your father. And you want to do right by his memory, not just at work, but at home. But, hey, I promise you, this is going to be a positive thing for our family. Sweetheart, let’s not be naive, okay? Billy Boy’s foray into media is nothing but a pitiful attempt at revenge for losing Chancellor. Possibly. And he can’t even get that right. Took his mother to pull the rug out from under him. Well, to be fair, that occurred because you put so much pressure on Jill. Do you honestly think I wouldn’t take advantage of a bungling company? Well, I can’t argue with that. Billy is gonna do what he’s going to do but I hope Jack knows what he’s doing in investing in him. And with Phyllis above? This is double trouble. [sighs] [clicks tongue] Well, as always, your timing is impeccable. I just finished a meeting with a client. I’d love to see you. Well, I’m totally free. My place or yours? Mine, if you don’t mind, there’s, uh, something I want to run by you as well. What’s going on? Well, Abbott Communications launch has been leaked, and I need to put something out before anyone else has a chance to go negative. And by “anyone” I assume you mean Adam? BILLY: He just confronted me about it, and clearly he knows too much, and I’m not sure from who. So I want to put out a press release before Newman Media has a chance to put out what I’m sure they are planning. I’m on my way. Thank you. I’ll see you soon. [sighs] Phyllis, it’s me. I was hoping you got a new phone so I could actually talk to you, but… clearly that’s not the case. Listen, we have a problem. It’s a problem that could use your take-no-prisoners approach, which is exactly why I brought you on board, right? I just wish I knew where you were. I’m not the only one. Everyone’s wondering where you are. Listen, do me a favor, okay? Call the people that love you. Call the people that you love first and then… call me after that. I wanna know you’re okay. [knocking on door] Come in, it’s open.

Hey…

Jack. Uh, this a bad time? No, no, no, not at all. Always a good time to see my big brother and biggest backer. Look, I won’t stay long. I just wanted to thank you and Sally for hosting Diane and me for cocktails. Yeah, no, of course, it was our pleasure. I also thought you should know I ran into Victor earlier. He knows all about the new company. Yeah, I heard. I ran into Adam. And, of course, he offers his best wishes for my success. I’ll bet. Any idea how the information got out? Do you think it was Phyllis? I don’t know. That’s what I’m trying to figure out right now. I mean, Phyllis said that she told Nick about us joining forces, but she also swore Nick to secrecy. I asked Nick about it. He said he hasn’t told anyone about it. You believe him? I mean, he’s not as cutthroat as his brother or his father, so yeah, I tend to believe him. And I don’t think he would go back on his word to Phyllis. Yeah, I tend to agree. What about Jabot? Did you mention your investment in the company to anyone over there? Of course not. Diane and Kyle know, no one else. Kyle? Did he talk to Claire about it? I highly doubt that, given Victor’s vehement objection to her romantic involvement with Kyle, I don’t think Claire is going to add fuel to any fire between the two families. Besides, the source of this leak is no longer our primary concern. Yeah, no, I agree. We gotta get out in front of it. That’s what I’m working on right now. Just really wish I was able to catch Adam and Newman Media off guard. I thought you weren’t going to make this about the Newmans. I know this war between our families is not one-sided. Jack has admitted as much to me. But, darling, can’t you just take a step back, for me? Sweetheart, it’s not in my nature to back down from a fight. Believe me, I am well aware of that.

Okay.

But you’re still recovering. I’m fine. [sighs] All I’m asking is for you to let somebody else fight this battle. That’s not in my nature either. You know that. Well, Victor, you just said that you have every confidence in Adam, so why don’t you let him take care of Billy? Why would I ever be threatened by a lightweight like Billy Abbott? You’re kinda acting like you are. Okay, as infuriating as I find him, I am not threatened by him starting a media company. I just– I just wish that he could find another industry to fail in. [sighs] He just never knows his limits. He always thinks big and he falls flat. He had his chance to run a multinational conglomerate, and his own mother canned him. So this is really what you want to do? What does that mean? Billy’s made it clear he’s ready to move on from his family’s feud with yours. He’s ready to focus on what’s important. Yet you’re here with me, and your focus is on him. Okay, you’re right. I’m sorry. I don’t want anything to do with Billy, and I want everything to do with you. I’m sorry that… He gets under my skin, but I just– I feel like he uses you to do that. I just think you’re giving yourself a little too much credit. How am I doing that? Well, I spent a lot of time with Billy in the past, and his decisions were rarely influenced by you. So you don’t think that his new company is about me? I really don’t. No. I mean, Billy has a history in media, so is it that crazy that he’d want to work there? The sandbox is big enough for both of you to play in. I just– And if he’s gonna go after anybody, it’s gonna be Victor, because he’s the one that messed everything up for him at Chancellor. He’ll always hate me for what happened between us in Baltimore, okay? That’s why he went after Sally and everything that he’s doing. But is– is that what this is really about? Because Billy’s with Sally now? You said you were over her. Did you mean that? I did. But, you know, it makes me wonder, you’re here defending your ex. I mean, are you over Billy? Hey, listen, that little remark about Adam and Newman Media that just kind of slipped out, you know, old habits die hard. I– I promise you, Abbott Communications has nothing to do with the Newmans. I’m glad to hear that. I assume you’re bringing Phyllis in on this press release? That is totally in her wheelhouse. Oh, I agree, and I would love to. If I could actually get ahold of her. She still hasn’t been in touch? SALLY: Since we’re gonna be fighting a war of words, I brought provisions– Oh, hi, Jack. Hi, Sally. Uh… Billy was just telling me that Phyllis is MIA that is a cause for real concern. Look, you advocated for her involvement, are you sure she’s as committed to you as you are to her? I told you I’m over Billy. And I told you Sally and I are also done. It’s clear Billy and Sally aren’t looking back. And that doesn’t bother you? Adam, what did I just say? I know, it’s just you defend the guy so hard. I defend him to you, I defend you to him. I hate to see the two of you attacking each other.

You still care about the guy.

I do. And that’s not gonna change. And I hope you don’t expect it to. Just like I understand that you still care about Sally. If we’re gonna move forward, we have to stop accusing each other of not moving on. [sighs] Agreed. Look, I don’t want my old business with Billy to distract me from what’s new with us. Well, I mean, about that, I– We’re still figuring things out, you know? It’s not– A done deal. I know. Sorry if you felt like I was pushing. I was just excited about Connor. Our home run. And so was I. Adam… We could really have a chance here. You and me. We just… have to keep our eye on the ball. Are we still… talking about baseball? [chuckles] How about them Brewers? This could be their year. Look, I’m not gonna make a decision about Phyllis until I hear from her and know that she’s okay. I accept that and I hope the same. My reservations are strictly about business. It just seems to me you have some timing issues to consider. Meaning? Meaning if you and Phyllis haven’t gotten things straightened out, I would leave her name off of any initial press release. Yeah. Thank you for that. I’ll take that into consideration. Yeah, I just wish she was here to help. Well, I’m here to pick up any slack. Yes, you are. Thank you for that. Sally, I think you have been a very good influence on my brother. Well, that goes both ways. Well, I will leave you to it. I look forward to that press release. Thanks, Jack. See you soon. SALLY: Bye.

[exhales]

Are you okay? I don’t have the luxury of not being okay. Hmm. The power of positivity. That’s right. All right, let’s see what you got. Okay, but just take it easy on me. That’s a rough draft, okay? It’s hardly that. Too much positivity? I mean, does it make it– make me sound better than I am? This is exactly how I see you. So I think we should just proof it and send it out. As is.

As is?

Mm-hm. You sure about that? I mean, you did forget a few words when you were introducing yourself as the founder of Abbott Communications. You forgot to mention that you are brilliant and dynamic and innovative, And you’re sexy as hell. I am sexy as hell, aren’t I? Mm-hm. I’m definitely positive about that. Sweetheart, Adam can take care of Billy Boy Abbott, but I will not have my children fight my battles for me. I am not asking you to do that. But what concerns me is the pleasure that you seem to take in hurting Jack or any Abbott. So what? What else is new? This is about Claire. I know the relationship with Kyle is new, but she cares for him very deeply and his family. And I know you have plans for Billy, and you probably are plotting against Jack, but surely you can see that if you hurt them, you’ll be hurting Claire. And what will you have me do? Tell me. Well… There was a time that you and Jack found your way to a truce.

[scoffs] So it is possible to end this hostility. Now, just tell me, what would it take to make that happen? Hm. Victor, please, can you put a stop to things before they go too far? [bells tolling] [fanfare music playing] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. ANNOUNCER: Join us again for “The Young and the Restless.”

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[pensive music]

[eerie sting]

Roman!

It’s Marlena.

Yes.

Oh, God. It’s–it’s you. Oh, my God. It’s you. Oh, my–oh, my God.

Oh, John, where are you? [sighs] And what am I gonna tell the children?

Oh, good. You got my message.

Yeah, it sounded important.

It is. Um, I want to help you prepare your official statement about your kidnapping. You know, it really needs to be ironclad. We–we have to make sure there’s no room for EJ or Kristen to wiggle their way out of this.

Well, they always find a way, don’t they?

Ah, not with me in your corner, they won’t. I plan to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, along with Rachel Blake. These are the notes from your initial interview. You take a look and let me know if anything’s missing.

Um, listen, Belle, it would bring me endless joy to see Kristen and EJ join the White Witch behind bars. But I’m afraid that I won’t be able to help you do that. [melancholy music]

Oh, great. Listen, I am sorry that I called you back. But, you know, I don’t know if it’s my computer or if it’s the flash drive you gave me, but when I put it in, nothing’s popping up.

Huh? Uh, oh, right, the flash drive. Um, sorry, could you explain the problem again?

Are you OK? You seem a million miles away.

Yes, I’m OK. I mean, it’s not–it’s not like anyone’s not OK. I mean, nobody’s hurt or anything.

Stephanie, what’s going on?

Joy Wesley might be pregnant. [mysterious music]

You want a job at Titan?

Is that a problem?

I’m just surprised you’d want to work for me after the way things ended between me and Chloe. 6

Look, I had to give you a hard time at first. It’s part of the sister code. But I said my piece at New Year’s, so I have fulfilled my sisterly duties. But I promise you, we will have a perfectly friendly working relationship.

But wouldn’t working for your sister’s ex go against the sister code?

I don’t think the code extends that far. I need to make a living. 7

Maybe you should talk to Chloe first.

Seriously? It’s not like I’m asking you on a date. I’m asking you for a job. So what do you say?

So what do you say?

You want to come back to Titan?

Yeah. Unless, of course, you have a problem with that. [soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

Do you have any corporate experience?

Well, my character on “Body & Soul” was heir apparent to Holloway Enterprises. [laughs] I’m kidding. Um, yeah, I did do some temping when I lived in New York. I did only work at each place for a few days at a time, so I wouldn’t say I have a ton of corporate experience. I am a really quick learner. Just ask your mom. I had never really acted professionally before. She gave me a chance, and she seemed to be pretty happy with my work on the show.

I guess I can’t ask for a better reference than my mom.

And I would be more than happy to start off as an assistant. Honestly, it would give me a chance to learn the ins and outs of the business world.

Well, I’d have to talk to Xander first. We’re co-CEOs. I don’t want him to think I’m trying to make an end run.

Of course.

Why don’t we circle back next week?

Oh, um, actually, I was kind of hoping you could talk to him, like today. See, it’s just I would really rather have this job sooner than later. Time is kind of, um, of the essence.

What do you mean Joy might be pregnant?

Well, I don’t know for sure. But I happened to overhear Sarah on the phone earlier. She said that she was on her way to the lab and she needed them to run a pregnancy test for her patient, Joy Wesley.

Sarah said that right in front of you? 12

Well, she didn’t know I was there.

But still, I mean, Sarah’s usually way more careful than that.

It’s not like she was yelling it or anything. And I’m not trying to get her in trouble. I just– I’m kind of shocked.

Because you’re thinking if Joy is pregnant, then–

The baby must be Alex’s. [tense music] 13

Why would I have a problem with you working at Titan?

Oh, I mean, not that long ago, I was running the place. I had the job that was rightfully yours.

Ah, that.

Yeah. So I could see why it might make you uncomfortable if I came back to the family business, that you might think I was gonna try and usurp your position. And it’s hard to work with somebody you can’t trust, so if you feel that way, that it’s a bad idea, you say the word and I’ll be on my way.

What do you mean? Are you not pressing charges against EJ and Kristen?

I cannot believe I’m saying this, but no. No, I’m not.

OK. I don’t understand. I mean, unless I’m missing something, those two are just as guilty as Rachel Blake. Don’t you want to see them pay for what they did to you?

Yeah, of course I do. Both of them found me strapped to a chair by a creepy old woman, and they left me there to rot.

OK, so then why don’t you want to testify against them?

Because of Brady.

This is a nice surprise, honey. What are you– what are you doing here?

Well, I had to drop Rachel off at a therapy appointment. And I was hoping I could get your advice on this Ava situation. A– are you OK? [melancholy music]

No, I’m not.

What’s–what’s going on?

I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news. Brady, your dad is missing.

17

Dad’s missing? What–what do you mean?

I just spoke to Shane. John has been in the field for so long that he– he promised he would try to set up a–a phone call between the two of us. But when– when John’s handler was contacted to facilitate that– that call, he couldn’t locate John. 18

All right. First of all, when was the last time his handler heard from him? And how often is he supposed to check in?

I don’t know exactly, but they don’t risk contact very often. Plus, John is–is trained to respond immediately whenever his handler contacts him.

Are there any leads? What else did Shane say? 19

Just that he’s using all his resources to try to track– track John down. And essentially, he doesn’t know any more than we know.

Well, that mean– that means–

That means we don’t know if John is alive or–

Oh, God.

I’m not following. Why would Brady be the reason that you’re not pressing charges against EJ and Kristen?

Because he asked me not to testify about my kidnapping.

What? That doesn’t even make any sense. Brady was furious when he found out what happened to you.

Yeah, well, that was before he talked to Kristen about it. Look, she pointed out that if I tell how I was kidnapped, that their daughter’s involvement in it would come to light. Rachel’s the one who lured me to the house in the first place.

Oh. Well, if that’s what Brady’s worried about, he should have talked to me. I have no intention of prosecuting a nine-year-old for something her grandmother told her to do.

Yeah, actually, I think he’s more concerned about Child Protective Services. After Rachel ran away, they opened a case against Kristen and Brady. They said if there was one more incident involving Rachel, they could take her away.

Yeah. Well–yeah. I mean, I guess I just assumed that Brady would regain custody if Kristen went to prison. I mean, clearly, that’s in Rachel’s best interest. But yeah, if CPS gets involved, that complicates things. 23

Yeah, it sure does. And even though Brady had nothing to do with what happened to me, he could lose his daughter because of it.

Alex, I appreciate your regret at taking my rightful place at the company, but that was hardly your fault. Theresa and Konstantin were the ones that fabricated your mother’s signature on that letter. As far as you knew, you were Victor’s son. It was his wish for you to run the company. Those two had us all duped. You can’t honestly think that I’d hold that against you.

I’m glad to hear there’s no bad blood between us.

Of course not. So if you want to rejoin the family business, I’m sure Titan will be all the better for it.

Thank you, Xander. Now, let’s just hope that Philip feels the same way.

You need me to talk to Xander today? I mean, sure, I guess, if it’s that urgent.

Thank you. I don’t mean to sound desperate or anything. I just–I just received my final paycheck from “Body & Soul,” so I’m eager to find new work.

I get it. Oh, I’m sorry about the show, by the way. I know my mom and Abe hated shutting down the Salem reboot. Hang on, I thought production was gonna continue in Los Angeles. You’re not moving with the show?

I considered it, but I just got news that they recast my character, so.

Ah, that’s too bad.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just starting to get excited about LA. I’ve always considered myself more of a big city girl, so.

Well, what about New York? I’m sure your family would be happy to have you close by again. 27

Yeah. Yeah, my mom would love to hear about what a mess I’ve made of my life since I moved to Salem.

You know what? Let’s not jump to conclusions. I mean, do you know? Has she been seeing somebody else maybe?

Not that I know of. But Mom, Alex just ran into her, and she seemed sort of OK about us getting together.

Well, that’s good news, right? 28

It is. But, I mean, obviously, I was– I was relieved that she wasn’t holding a grudge, at least not outwardly. And it made Alex and I feel that we could finally put this drama behind us. But now, it seems like it’s suddenly looming ahead.

Look, I know it’s a lot for you to process, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We don’t even know that Joy is pregnant. 29

True. I guess you probably couldn’t go check the lab?

[sighs]

Sorry. Of course not. I shouldn’t have even asked. [sighs] I just don’t know if I’m gonna get any peace of mind until I know one way or the other. [tense music] God knows what I’m gonna say to Alex.

Well, I would hope that you wouldn’t say anything.

Philip and I were both interested in Stephanie. Things got a little tense between us now that I’m with her and–

You’re thinking he might have a problem working with you.

Well, I know he’s not the most gracious loser.

I got that sense when he sued me for control of the company.

OK, see, this might be a bad idea.

Maybe, maybe not. Look, there’s no denying Philip’s, uh, competitive spirit. But he also has a surprising ability to bury the hatchet, especially where the good of the company is concerned.

Wow. I’ve just never heard you speak so highly of him. You two get along now?

Actually, we are, which is exactly my point. I mean, clearly, it’s no secret that Philip and I were at each other’s throats. But since we’ve been running the company together, we’ve managed to put all that behind us. Daresay we even like each other. So let me talk to Philip about bringing you back on board, yeah?

What do you mean your life’s a mess? What’s going on?

No, no, I only meant, um, well, uh, Alex just dumped me to be with Stephanie. So there’s that. Then there’s the fact that I nearly destroyed Johnny and Chanel’s marriage. I don’t know if you heard about that one.

Yeah, my mom may have mentioned it.

Yeah.

Sounded like it was more Johnny’s fault than yours.

Yeah. Yeah, that may be true. But it still only proves my mom’s point. She thinks I have a talent for finding drama.

Hah!

What?

Sorry. It’s just my mom said something like that about me, too.

Really?

Oh, yeah. I mean, she’s my biggest supporter always, but she’s also my harshest critic.

Same with my mom. When I lived in New York, I felt like I was always explaining my life choices to her, which I guess is a big reason why I’d really like to stay in Salem. If I could just find a new job.

Like I said, I have to check with Xander, but honestly, I don’t think he’ll have a problem with you working at the company. So barring any unforeseen circumstances… welcome to Titan. 36

[sighs]

Xander, I appreciate you going to bat for me with Philip like that. I really do. But it’s just starting to feel like more trouble than it may even be worth. You know, if you guys are getting along so well right now, I’d hate to show up and ruin that by stirring the pot.

Don’t worry about all that. I’m sure you two can work it out. Besides, Philip and I have some really big plans for Titan. And we could use the help of another Kiriakis to see them through.

What kind of big plans?

Well, it’s all a little confidential right now, but as soon as you’re officially on board, you’ll be the first to know. Suffice to say, if all goes according to plan, this will be a very big deal. 38

I am so sorry to worry you.

Ah, don’t–don’t say sorry. I’m grateful that we have each other right now. All right, what do we do? What are the steps? How do we find him?

Well, I don’t know that we have anything we can do. Shane has reassured me that they are–are trying to retrace John’s steps. They’re trying to reach out to all of his latest contacts. They–they will only say the ISA is doing all they can to try to find him.

Does Paul know about this?

No. I need to tell Paul. I should also tell Belle.

This puts Brady in an impossible position. I get that. But Ava, a serious crime was committed here. And I have a moral obligation to prosecute this case. 40

Even knowing how it’s gonna affect your niece?

Well, what’s the alternative? Kristen walks and Rachel’s still under her care. I mean, I get why Brady’s worried about CPS, but maybe their intervention is warranted here.

Wait, you think that CPS should take Rachel away?

Well, not from Brady, no. But if they had all the facts about everything that happened in Aremid, then I’m sure they would see that Rachel is better off with her father. 41

Or they would take her away from him like they said they would if there was another incident. Look, Belle, I am a mother, OK? And I know what it is like to have your child taken away from you. And I am not gonna be the reason that happens to Brady.

But you are my only witness. Without your testimony, my entire case falls apart and–and three morally bankrupt criminals go free. 42

Yeah, I know. Believe me, it–it is the last thing that I want to happen. And it infuriates me. It makes me sick even thinking about it. OK. Brady should not be the one who suffers for their crimes, OK? It is not his fault that he is in this position. It is Kristen’s.

Story of my brother’s life, unfortunately.

Yeah. Rachel runs away on Kristen’s watch after Kristen poisons her against me. And who do you think it is that taught her that hostage-taking is an appropriate way to deal with family conflict? I can’t believe that when Kristen saw me there, I thought she would actually help me. I swear to you, if I ever see her again, I am going to tear her limb from limb.

Well, hmm, here’s your chance. [tense music]

So judging by the threat of bodily harm you just made against me, should I assume you talked to Brady?

Yeah, I did.

Great. And I am sorry that you won’t be giving that statement. But I am glad that you understand the priorities of this situation. 45

You bitch.

Oh, I knew you’d do the right thing. And for the record, I’m protecting my daughter from some people’s selfish interests.

Selfish?

Yeah. Oh, you’re obviously not happy that this will bring down your conviction rate.

Oh, please. I know this is a foreign concept to you, but there are people out there who actually care about justice and respect for the law.

Oh, well, so if following the law is so important to you, don’t you have some paperwork to, uh, file?

Oh, tell me, whatever do you mean?

Well, uh, the arraignment this morning, uh, you managed to convince the judge, uh, to hold my mother without bail. And as I recall, it was predicated on a so-called, um, ironclad case you had against her, which, seeing now as you have zero witnesses– ah, so it’s starting to look less and less ironclad. So I suggest that you call the judge and tell her what a grievous error you have made and that you want my mother released right now.

I can talk to Belle if that would help you.

No, thank you. I should talk to her.

Are you sure? 48

I am.

Sure? OK. OK. Well, at least let me talk to Paul. OK, you shouldn’t have to be the sole bearer of this kind of news.

OK, good. Thank you. And please tell him that I love him.

I will.

I’m so glad you’re here with me today.

Me too. Let’s stay positive, OK? We’re gonna–we’re gonna– we’re gonna– we’re gonna find Dad.

We will. Oh, I know we will.

Yeah. I should, uh– I should go get Rachel.

Oh, yes. Yes, of course. You go ahead.

I love you.

I love you. [solemn music]

Mom, why wouldn’t I tell Alex? I mean, this is his baby we’re talking about.

We don’t even know if there is a baby. And if you hadn’t overheard Sarah on the phone, you wouldn’t even think that there could be one.

Honestly, I wish I hadn’t overheard. But it’s not like I can unhear it. If I keep this from Alex, I would be keeping a really big secret from him.

But, honey, this is not your secret to tell. This is Joy’s personal medical information.

And I realize that. And I totally understand that you take it seriously because you’re a doctor. You have to. But I–I’m not. I mean, I wouldn’t be breaking any laws by telling Alex, right? 52

It’s not that it’s illegal. It’s just highly unethical. And you heard that information here, so the hospital could be liable for HIPAA violation. And listen, after everything that we’re going through right now, it’s just too much. So if you want to protect the hospital and honor Joy’s privacy, you need to keep this to yourself. [tense music] 53

Oh, Philip. I thought you went to the office.

I was heading there, but then I ran into Chloe’s little sister, Joy, and she asked me for a job. She seemed pretty anxious about it, but I told her I’d have to talk to you first.

Feel free to hire her.

Really?

Yeah, it’s not like I have to do a background check on her. She’s Chloe’s little sister.

Fair enough.

Oh, and there’s something I need to talk to you about.

Just a sec. I want to text Joy the good news. [beep] [tranquil music]

Joy, hey. Twice in one day? What are the odds of that?

I know. What, are you stalking me?

Uh-huh.

Sorry. Bad joke.

No, no, no, no. It’s–it’s OK. Listen, I’m really glad that we had that talk earlier.

Yeah.

Really. Because you were so cool about Stephanie and I being together. And honestly, I really like you. And I just–I don’t want there to be any weirdness between us.

Me neither. Um, which is why, um, there’s something that you should know.

What do I need to know?

Um, well, there are a couple of things. Um, I guess number one would be that it looks like I’m gonna stay here in Salem. So you and I will probably keep running into each other. 57

True. But at least now that we’ve cleared the air, shouldn’t be too hard, right?

Right.

Good. And what’s the second thing?

Um–

So what do you want to talk to me about?

Well, Alex just stopped by. He told me he, uh, wanted to come back to Titan. 58

Ah. That might be an issue.

Right, but before you just nix the idea, hold on. Think about how you and I were at each other’s throats before we became partners.

Yeah. Well, thank God we’re past that.

Yeah, so you see, you know, if we could put that behind us, I’m sure you and Alex could work things out. And remember, we’re about to wage all-out war on the DiMeras. We could use another Kiriakis on board, yeah?

Yes, but–

So keep that in mind and just maybe put your personal issues to the side and try and work together as cousins.

I’m sorry, personal issues?

Alex told me you and he had a bit of a row over Stephanie? That’s what this is about, no? 60

You’re totally right. I wasn’t thinking. You know I would never do anything to jeopardize the hospital. So… I won’t say anything to Alex.

Thank you.

I’m sorry, Mom. I just–I got so fixated on what this meant for Alex that I wasn’t thinking about Joy. I mean, this is a really personal thing for her. And I do respect that.

I understand. This is a difficult position for you to be in.

I just feel strange, having this information that could potentially affect the rest of Alex’s life and keeping it from him.

Well, maybe you won’t have to. There is a possibility that she’ll tell him herself. 62

You said there were two things I needed to know.

Yeah. Um, the other thing is, um– um, the reason that I’m– I’m planning on staying in town–

Yeah.

Is, um, because I got a job.

You got a job? That’s great.

Yeah.

Joy, that’s great. Where?

Um, at Titan. Yeah, I actually– um, I talked to Philip about coming to work there. And he just texted me saying that I’m hired. So.

Mm.

OK. It’s true Alex and I were locking horns for a minute there. But at the end of the day, Stephanie and I didn’t work out. And I only have myself to blame for that. So, no, my issue isn’t about Alex and Stephanie.

Oh. Then?

It’s about Alex and Joy. I don’t know how she’ll feel about working with him. They were together for a while. They recently split up, and I got the sense Joy’s still not too happy about that. [tense music]

You are gonna be working at Titan.

Looks like it.

Hmm.

Why? Is that a problem?

No. I mean, I don’t think so. I actually just spoke with Xander as well about my coming back to Titan, too.

Well, aren’t you gonna get on that? I don’t want my mother spending one more night in jail.

Well, tough luck. The courts are closed for the night, so I guess your mom’s gonna have to wait until tomorrow to enjoy her wholly undeserved freedom.

Well, you can get the ball rolling, can’t you? I wouldn’t wanna sue the city for wrongful imprisonment. 67

This isn’t over, Kristen.

Hmm. Oh, and how about you? You’re just gonna stand there? Or do you have something to say to me?

I got nothing to say to you.

OK, great. Then we’re done here.

Not quite.

[gasps] 68

Ah. I wasn’t aware of the history there. But to be quite frank, if Joy doesn’t want to work with Alex, then she’s free to quit. I’m sure she’d be a wonderful employee, but she doesn’t have the history of the company or the Kiriakis last name, for that matter. I mean, Alex is a former CEO of Titan. I’m sure he’d have some insights that could help us take on DiMera. 69

You’re right. We need Alex on board.

Then it’s settled. I’ll text him the good news. [pensive music]

[serene music]

And now it is official. Xander just hired me back at Titan. 70

Wow. I guess, um, congrats.

I–thank you. Congrats to you. Hmm.

Yeah.

I guess we’ll be working there together.

Yeah. Yeah, I guess we will.

Hmm.

That’s–that’s so crazy.

What’s crazy? 71

Steph, hey. Hey, I–I got some– some big news.

OK.

Well, I took your suggestion, and I reached out to Xander about getting my job back over at Titan. And he hired me.

Oh. Congratulations. 72

Thank you. Yeah.

That’s–that’s not so crazy. I mean, you did work there before.

Well, that’s not the crazy part.

I talked to Philip earlier. And, uh, yeah, he gave me a job there, too. So.

Oh. Oh. That–that is big news. 73

Hi. I got your message. What’s going on?

Um, why don’t you sit down?

OK. Sounds serious.

Well, it is. It’s about your dad. [tense music]

74

And hey, at least we know he’s in good hands. The ISA is gonna use every resource to try to find him. Yeah, of course, I’ll stay in touch. All right, Paul. I love you, man. Bye.

Oh. Hey, Brady. How was Rachel’s therapy appointment?

Uh, it was–it was– it was good, I believe. She–she was in a good mood afterwards, so I think it went well.

Oh, good. I’m glad to hear that. Oh, I ran into Ava. And thank you. Thank you for getting her to agree not to press charges against me.

Mm-hmm. Well, I did it for the sake of our daughter. What happened to your face?

Oh, my face? Oh? Ava assaulted me. Yeah, she’s lucky I’m not pressing charges against her. [melancholy music]

[phone ringing]

Hello.

Ava. Hey, it’s me. I–I just spoke to Kristen. She told me that you agreed to drop the charges against her.

Yeah, well, I didn’t really have a choice, did I?

Well, I–um, I don’t know how to thank you.

Well, you could start by, uh, driving Kristen to a remote location, tying her to a chair, and then leaving her for dead.

Ava, I– I’m really sorry about all this, OK?

Yeah. I’m sorry, too, Brady.

[beep]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Carly! I’m so glad I ran into you. Hi. You wouldn’t have time for a drink, would you? Mac, um, canceled on me. Oh, I wish I could, but, um, I have plans tonight, and they don’t involve kids. Ohh! [ Chuckles ]

Oh, thank God, you’re here. Hi. Thank you so much for coming. Well, I could hear how upset you were on the phone. It’s not Trina, is it? No, no, no. It’s not Trina. It’s me. I made a huge mistake. And if you don’t help me figure out how to fix it, my life is completely over. What could be more pressing than Sidwell getting past Quartermaine security, walking right into the house, confronting Sasha again? He needs to be handled. You’re not gonna be able to handle anyone or anything from a prison cell. Alright, I’m not gonna stand here and listen to you talking about taking out Sidwell. I’m wasn’t talking about taking out Sidwell in front of the police commissioner. I told you I had him under surveillance. Okay, so where were they tonight when Sidwell walked right into the house. I’ll speak to them. Look, you and I, we work well together, and we get things done, right? That’s true. Yes. So I need you to work with me again. Okay? W-What do you need? Okay, so remember when we — we talked about finding Charlotte together? I just don’t think that we can wait any longer. Okay, well, we don’t — we don’t have any leads. I know. But the longer that she is out there with her father, the danger to her increases. Yes, I know. And you also know that I am not going to let anything else happen to that girl. I, um — I saw some leftover pasta in the fridge earlier. You want some? Dude, what are you looking at? Charlotte just texted me. She’s in Buenos Aires. Whoa! You got to tell your mom. No, I can’t. You ever think about coming clean to Lulu about what happened that summer? Oh, man, I don’t know. That was… That was a long time ago. And it — that was over before it even started. And we never even saw each other again after that. I mean, I went back to Bensonhurst. Brook Lynn, she went on tour with her mom. Did you want to see her again? I don’t know, dude. I mean, we were kids. It was a summer. It’s not like anything came of it. Well, what if, I mean — what if something did come of it? Oh, look, your friend is back. You got any more jobs for him to do? I’m just returning this. I was gonna leave it in front of the door, but it was cold, and we got cold, and we were hoping we could warm up in here. [ Clears throat ] And, uh, Emma would love to see the horses. Ah. Well, go for it. You read, uh, Comet his horoscope for tomorrow, he’ll be your friend for life. He’s such a Virgo. I’ll pull it up on my phone. Cody: [ Chuckling ] All right. I like her. Anna’s granddaughter? Yeah, she’s great. Anyway, what were you gonna say before? Ever since you dumped Lucy, things have not been the same at Deception. I was thinking — You guys should reconnect. Or get some closure. You know, whatever. But the future of our business really depends on it, so why don’t we go to my office and discuss some details? Wait, hang on, Maxie. What exactly is going on here? Nothing. Not a thing going on. Really? Mm-hmm. Where’s Lulu? Hmm?

“Dante Falconeri — Father. Not listed on birth certificate”?

Good evening, ladies. It’s a pleasant surprise seeing you here, Felicia. Okay, um, well, I just got here myself, so why don’t we sit? Felicia, it was good to see you. Have a nice evening. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.

You are looking particularly lovely this evening. Thank you. You don’t look half bad yourself. Well, in spite of that, it would seem Miss Scorpio doesn’t like me very much. I hope you won’t let her sway your opinion of me. Felicia’s great. She was my mom’s best friend. But she never came to my house to fix my plumbing. Well, I’m glad to hear that. I’m not easily swayed. I make up my own mind about people. And I think I know you a little better than Felicia does. Oh, unquestionably. [ Cellphone chimes ] Excuse me. Go ahead. I’m gonna check and see what Josslyn’s doing on Easter Island. [ Laughs ]

Ava: What happened, Portia? Someone knows that I altered Heather Webber’s test results. And they’re blackmailing me. You know, when I got Ric to let it alone and not look any further into those test results, I figured it would be over. No, no, no, no. Brad Cooper knows. He was the lab tech assigned to review the results. And now ever since, I’ve been at his whim. [ Laughs ] He’s at a medical symposium in Miami right now because he knows. Oh, that’s got to be awful, being under that little worm’s thumb. It’s worse than awful. Brad must have told someone, because now Drew Quartermaine is threatening to go to the police. Valentin has a kill order out on him. Since when? Since he attacked Brennan in Europe. Didn’t Carly tell you? No, she didn’t — how — how is she even involved? I don’t know, from what I understand, she was there when Brennan was attacked. I-In fact, I believe she saved his life. W-Why am I hearing this for the first time right now? I don’t know. I thought the two of you told each other everything. Well, apparently not when it comes to Brennan. So you’re telling me Brennan sent the WSB dogs out on Valentin. Yes. And if the WSB assassins are looking for him and Charlotte is with him, she could be collateral damage. Or she gets to watch her father be killed right in front of her. Okay, I’m gonna — I’m gonna talk to Spinelli again. I know — I know he has alerts already set if — if Valentin or Charlotte’s name comes up online. I’ve been hitting up everyone, and I’ve got nothing. I don’t know what else to do. But if something comes up, I’ll be ready to go. Thank you. We just need a lead. When Charlotte called me at Christmas, my mom, she took off and went looking for her on her own. She almost got shot. Yeah, I know. She and your dad got in a huge fight about it, too. It was…epic. And it was all for nothing. After all that, Charlotte just wanted to stay with Valentin. She won’t accept the fact that her dad is bad news. [ Sighs ] Maybe he’s not to her. I mean, from her text, it sounds like she’s having a great time, and she — she probably is. So you’re not gonna do anything? You’re just gonna keep quiet? I mean, it’s just… everything changed that summer, you know? You never came back to camp. Well, yeah, I got a — got a job, you know? It actually paid real money, not like being a counselor in training. Are you telling me that all the friendship bracelets you could make wasn’t payment enough? [ Chuckles ] Plus, Brook Lynn, she just kind of disappeared, right? I don’t think she even said goodbye when she left. Yeah, well, I mean, i-it’s like you said, you know, we were just kids, so… Back then, you get an idea, you just go for it. And anything could have set Brook Lynn off. She was wild. Thank you so much. The horses are great. Once you get used to the smell. Okay, Bensonhurst. That’s right. Oh, and just so you know, Comet’s horoscope said that he should keep himself open to new opportunities tomorrow. I’ll make a note. Do you ride? I’ve taken some lessons. Hmm. Yeah, so did this guy back in camp. Dante: Hey! He was hopeless. You guys went to camp together? Yeah, that’s how we met. That’s cool. How many years? Uh, started in junior high, so, uh, four. Four years. It was cool. Aside from the horses and stuff. [ Laughter ] Yeah, Brook Lynn and Cody and me, we were, uh, counselors in training. Oh, you all went to the same camp. We did. Didn’t we, Lois? Uh…yeah? I must have raved about it so much that Brook Lynn ended up going to our sister camp. Oh, yeah. Good ol’ Camp Martha. My God, I bet you have all kinds of stories. Lulu? Why would you be asking me about Lulu? And why would you think she’d be here? No, not here. She told me a couple of hours — and Laura — that she was gonna have dinner with you at the Surf Lodge. Dinner. Well, see, I must have forgotten all about dinner because of the Lucy and Deception stuff. See what it’s costing me, Martin? A dinner, and probably a fight with my bestie. But I would really like to discuss this in my office where no one could overhear us. [ Gasping ]

“Brook Lynn — mother. High school. Hid pregnancy. Baby boy. Adopted.” Maxie, I’d be the first person to admit that Lucy is definitely a handful, okay? But the fact is, we are done. Now, if you’ll excuse me, the reason I left Laura’s is because I am getting a headache. Martin, wait! [ Card reader beeps ] [ Gasps ] Not now. I still need to talk to you. Not about Lucy…anymore. Uh, because I would like to hire you. For what? Uh, nuisance lawsuits, patent infringements, intellectual theft. All bogus, of course. But, you know, those people do need to be dealt with, and you’re just the man to do it. Maxie, I’m gonna save you some time, okay? Me, Tracy, Deception — never gonna happen. We’ve got a love-hate relationship. We love to hate each other. Tracy doesn’t make the decisions. I do. Which is why I think we should go discuss billable hours. Well, why didn’t you say so? You know, you could have led with that. I wish I had.

What does Drew want from you? Well, Drew was chasing a seat on the Appropriations Committee, and Curtis convinced an influential congressman to block his appointment to the committee. Okay, okay, so let me guess. Drew wants Curtis to go back and say he made a mistake, that Drew is an awesome guy after all and he should be on all the committees. Yes, yes, that’s exactly right. Ah. Well, I am so sorry, Portia. I do not have anything you can use against Drew. I don’t care about Drew. Only thing I care about is Curtis. Look, I told him that I altered Heather’s test results, okay? But I didn’t tell him that Brad was blackmailing me. And I’m afraid to tell him that because Curtis hates secrets so much. I don’t think you have any choice but to tell him. No. No, no, no, no. I can’t. When he found out that Trina was his daughter, it almost destroyed our marriage. But he forgave you. He gave me a second chance. That’s what he did. I don’t know if he will give me a third. Look, I want to help you. I do. W-What do you need? I need your advice. What do I do? Do — Do I keep quiet about Drew? Or should I tell Curtis the truth? Emma: So what was it like being camp counselors together? Uh, I wouldn’t know. Actually, I didn’t go back to camp. Neither did Brook Lynn. So… You know, it was nice seeing you all, but I’m gonna get going, okay? Uh, wait, wait. Lois, Lois, did you need something? No, no, no. I don’t. You know, I-I just want to get warm. It — It was such a beautiful night, and I thought I would take a walk. But you know what? It’s a lot colder outside. than I thought it was. Been there. Yeah. I’m gonna go. Okay, yeah. Bye. Bye. Dante: See ya. Bye. I didn’t even get to tell her how much I liked her being the face of Deception. And weren’t you the guy? Oh. Dante: Oh, yes, he was. Yeah. You are in the company of a male model right now. Brand ambassador, thank you. Well, my grandmother thinks that I should intern at Deception. Mm. Was it fun? Um, Brook Lynn and Maxie are great. [ Chuckling ] Lucy… Lucy’s a little high-strung. But, uh, you know, for the most part they’re great bosses. So why’d you leave? Uh, that — that just wasn’t — wasn’t me. I-I never got comfortable in front of the camera either. Not like this guy. Throw him on a 50-yard line in front of a bunch of screaming fans, he’s as cool as a cucumber. He’s always been like that. As a kid. Lights up in front of everybody. What can I say? I love making music. You know what? Brook Lynn loved to do that too. Must be a family trait. I’m just curious, though — What about the legal team that you already have in place? Well, don’t say this to anyone, but I feel like they’re kind of lacking in that department. Well, it is in my wheelhouse, but I don’t…get it. What’s the — what’s with the urgency? I mean, why did we have to talk about this tonight? Because of Lulu. So, uh, how’s everything going with Josslyn? Great. I mean, she sent me these amazing pictures. And it’s crazy, this trip to Easter Island came up because someone canceled at the last minute. And luckily Josslyn was all caught up on the material and ready to go. And it’s perfect timing, you know, given everything that happened with Dex. And it seems like she’s having a blast. Well, I’m really glad everything’s working out. Me too. [ Knock on door ] [ Whispering ] Oh, come on. Martin? Are you there? It’s me — Lois.

[ Camera shutter clicking ] [ Knock on door ] Martin. How am I supposed to live with myself if I’m forced to manipulate Curtis on Drew’s behalf? You know… you might feel better if you just tell Curtis the truth. Even if it costs you everything. Even if it costs you your marriage. Is everything okay? No. Uh…Spinelli says we are out of peanut butter. That and I blew off Lulu. Tragedy abounds. Um, speaking of Lulu, she works at Deception now? Yeah, she does. Well, just so you know, Maxie, I don’t think she’s gonna be too comfortable with the idea of me working there. Why? Because she doesn’t like me. Well, if you take us on as a client, you will get to spend more time with her. And then what? I wear her down? Yeah, whatever it takes. I mean, you could convince her you are nothing like your brother. Not bad. Okay. Yeah, it’s worth a shot. I’m in. Great. Welcome to Deception. Thank you. Now, if you will excuse me, it has been such a long day. Aah! Aah. Ooh. Oh, oh, um… Um, could you, uh, go to the bar and get me some club soda? Hurry, before my shirt stains. Okay.

Martin? Okay. [ Sighs ] Okay, Maxie, I heard you.

Okay.

What’s going on? That.

That’s why I brought my gun? I specifically told you not to. Oh. Oh, I thought that was code or something. Yeah, I can see that. You know I have a job? I know, but you have to eat. And I thought now would be a good time. And that worries me. Bobbie wouldn’t want Carly anywhere near someone like Brennan. Well, I guess you knew Bobbie better than anyone, yeah. And you have known Brennan for a very long time. So tell me what you think of him. Well, he’s a ruthless agent, and I think he’s only concerned with getting the job done. He doesn’t really care how. Lives in that kind of gray area when it comes to legality and morality, you know? But he’s — he’s brilliant and obviously quite charming. See, that’s the same vibe that I got. Okay. So what are we gonna do about it? What? Nothing. I mean, Carly is a grown woman. She can take care of herself. But he’s a ruthless man. Okay, look, when has anyone ever succeeded in stopping Carly from doing something she wanted to? Like, never. I could use a drink. Oh, God, I need two. What’s going on with you? Listen, I was thinking, why should Josslyn have all the fun? Why don’t you and I take the WSB jet and go and have dinner in Paris this weekend? You want to go to Paris? Yeah, we can stay overnight. Maybe squeeze in a breakfast. What do you think? Vivian: Jack Brennan? You don’t call, you don’t write. What’s a woman to think? I remember watching Brook Lynn perform when I was a kid. Why doesn’t she sing anymore? Uh, she was attacked, and her vocal cords were damaged. Yeah, it was awful. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, she still writes, though. She’s — She’s great too. I don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t play the violin anymore. Well, why — you’re not gonna have to think about that. What would, uh — What would you be doing at Deception if you end up working there, Emma? Chemistry. Yeah, I’d work in the lab where they develop all the new products. Mm. I think it could be fun. Uh, speaking of fun, I need to go home. I live with my grandmother now. Oh, you — you live with the police commissioner? You are having fun. Yay. Let me walk you to your car. See ya. See ya, bud. [ Sighs ] What do you think of those two? Oh, I think that kid is in over his head with Emma. I got it covered. I’ll give him some tips. Oh, yeah, that’s gonna help. [ Laughs ] Honestly, man, I don’t even know what I would do when — the day Rocco falls in love with someone. Actually I do. Let Lulu handle it. No. Send the lad to me. No! Are you kidding me? I’ll give him advice. I’ll teach him the way. No! No son of mine is ever gonna get love advice or any other kind of advice from you. My mom would never forgive me if she found out I knew where Charlotte was and didn’t tell her. But I’m — I’m afraid if… she goes after Charlotte, she might not come back. And I don’t want to lose my mom again. You think whoever’s going after Valentin might end up killing your mom? Maybe. Or maybe she’ll just keep going after Charlotte. She keeps saying she should have never left her in Prague. Am I being totally selfish here? No. You just got your mom back. I mean, I’d do anything to get mine back. But what if something happens to your sister? I-I’m worried about her, too. I don’t know — I don’t know what to do. Hey, guys. What’s up? Charlotte just messaged Rocco. We know where she is. I can’t even imagine my life without Curtis. And the last time something like this happened, not only did I lose him, but I almost lost Trina. What if Trina feels like she has to pick sides? No, no, no, now, you are getting ahead of yourself. Are you sure that you’ll lose your medical license and be prosecuted if Drew goes to the police? Probably. Probably? Probably? No, you have to go to a lawyer. You have to know for sure. You should talk to mine. Ric Lansing? You want me to talk to Ric Lansing, Heather Webber’s lawyer? That’s a conflict of interest. Well, no, not necessarily. I mean, Heather is — is free now. If your little scheme had worked, then it might be a different story. [ Sighs ] I can’t let Drew use me to manipulate Curtis. Well, until you talk to somebody and until you have a plan, just let Drew think he’s won. Let him think that you’re doing more than you actually are. That way, your secret is safe and you can minimize how much you manipulate Curtis. Vivian. It’s a pleasure to see you. I couldn’t believe it when I spotted you here. It has been far too long. It certainly has. This is Carly Spencer, the owner of the establishment. Oh, I see. Hi. Hi. It is a fabulous hotel, and I always love to see another woman in charge. Thank you. You still have my number, don’t you? Oh, I’m quite certain I do. Then use it and call me. So…Paris? I can’t go to Paris because I am the owner of this establishment. And I have a lot of responsibility. In fact, I have many things that I have to do right now. W-What’s going on? Ah, you stay, ’cause I’m gonna comp your meal. Have a good night.

What’s going on? I’m really worried about Charlotte Cassadine. Has there been any news? No. That’s what’s so frustrating. You know, the longer she’s out there with her father, the more dangerous her situation becomes. I kind of… I wish that I had played things a little differently where Valentin’s concerned, because every time my phone rings, I just feel like it’s someone calling to say that Charlotte’s been seriously hurt. Then do something. There is no one better equipped to take action and get the job done than you, Anna. So act. Get it done. Hey. Hey, Lulu. You just missed Dante. He’s up at the house. I actually came to see you. And I need a break. From what? From spending every conversation I have with someone trying to figure out what I missed the past four years. Well, with you it’s simpler. Thank you? [ Laughs ] I guess. It just means that we are starting to get to know each other. Uh-huh. Uh…got any more of those? Uh, not here, but I’ll see what I can find.

Maxie…

High school. [ Cellphone chimes ] Well, Martin, uh, thanks to you, my very cute blouse lives to fight another day. You should go now and relax. We could go through details tomorrow. Okay… Bye! It was great talking to you.

Ah, Martin! [ Laughs ] What a surprise. Can we talk? I actually — I’m on my way up to my room. Oh, perfect. I’ll come with you. Come on. Hi, honey. Are you going to tell me what that was about? Savor it. This is my last one. Thanks for sharing. Yeah. And I’ll replace it. Uh-huh. So, you and Dante, you’ve been friends a long time, right? Yeah. Yeah, we have. What was he like in high school? I couldn’t tell you. I only knew him in camp back then. [ Chuckles ] I have a hard time picturing Dante in camp. [ Laughs ] I could tell you some stories. I bet. Oh, and did I hear right? Was Brook Lynn there, too? You did. She was. It’s hard to imagine two people less suited for woodland activities. Well, she only made it one summer. One summer is all it takes. Is this the first time she’s messaged you since Christmas? Yeah. Does anybody else know? No. Rocco’s worried that his mom will get hurt if she finds out and goes after his sister. You did the right thing by telling me. I’m gonna go get Charlotte. But you cannot tell anybody. My — My mom, she needs — I know your mom wants Charlotte back, but she doesn’t have to be the one to get her, okay? I can do that. The more people who know where Charlotte is, the more we risk things going wrong. Thanks, Dad. I knew you’d know what to do. Rocco, I’m gonna bring your sister back. I promise. Dad? Yeah? Be safe, okay? See you soon.

How could you do that?! You had no right to tell your dad. [ Cellphone rings ] Jason. Thank you. Where are you? I’m here at the Metro Court. I’m just leaving, actually. No, stay there. I’m on my way. I got a lead on Charlotte. What are you talking about? My dad’s the perfect person to go after Charlotte. Why wouldn’t I tell him? Because it wasn’t your secret to tell. Charlotte reached out to me. She’s my sister, and it was my decision. You asked me what to do. I asked you for advice! I did not ask you to turn around and blurb it all out to your dad. Stop overreacting. I was just trying to help because that’s all my family ever does for you, because family helps family. What is that supposed to mean? Like you don’t know. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. what’s going on? What’s going on? You want to tell me what this is all about? Lois, would you just calm down? What is it? What happened? I just walked in on Dante and Gio talking to their friends about how Dante and Brook Lynn went to summer camp together. The summer camp where they… Yes, yes, yes! And if it ever gets out that Dante and Brook Lynn are Gio’s parents, it would just… It would ruin everything and everyone. I know. And I need to protect my family. Okay, okay. So how do I help? I-I just… Could I just have the notes back, please, from when we talked? It’s just — it’s too risky. Lois, it’s fine. They’ve been safe in my hotel room the entire time. I would feel better, okay? Please. Okay. Okay, fine. You know, have it your way. Maybe it’ll help you sleep at night. Okay. Okay, okay. What is it? What’s wrong? That’s kind of a Weird thing to say. Brook Lynn and I never got along. She was always so possessive of Dante and their Bensonhurst roots. Kind of felt left out, you know? Mm-hmm. But now that I know what happened that summer, I understand where it all came from. “What happened”? Relax. Brook Lynn told me. I can’t imagine going through that as a teen. Explains a lot. Yeah, I mean, it was intense. I just — I never thought Brook Lynn would tell anyone, much less you. I guess, um, everything that she and Chase are going through trying to have a baby stirred everything up. I just happened to be there when it came out. I guess I could see that happening. It was a rough time. God, Carly, you’re so stupid! God, why did you do that? Carly. How did you find me? I’m a spy. Of course. Can you please go? Please? This is humiliating enough. Carly, I don’t understand what happened, and I really don’t understand why you’re humiliated. Is this about Vivian? No. You know what? Yes. Are you happy now? Can you go? I didn’t need you to follow me. Just tell me what’s happening. What’s happening? What’s happening is that we’re feeling two different things. Okay? And that’s fine with me. I know your lifestyle. And — And I had no expectation about whatever is… Can you please go, Jack? Just go. Carly, you really got to help me out here. Where is this coming from? You really need me to spell this out for you? You should be with someone like Vivian. You should. Someone who’s fun with no strings attached. Because I can’t do that. And I don’t want to do that. And I know that I was crazy to think there was something else going on between us. Carly, there is something else going on. Uh, no, no. Nothing’s wrong. Just, you know, I’m making sure they’re — they’re all there. Thank you, thank you. I feel so much better. Listen, Lois, your secret was safe for 20 years. Don’t you think you might be overreacting a little? Maybe. Uh, probably. Um…do you have any matches? A lighter? Poor Brook Lynn. Had to have been such a shock. I’d… I’d never seen her so scared. She — She came to me, and she — she begged me to drive her to the bus station so she could go home. It’s a good thing she had you. Yeah. But she never told Dante? No. And neither did you. Brook Lynn was so desperate. She told me she never wanted Dante to know about her pregnancy. So I promised her I’d never tell anyone. And I — I never did. I told Danny that I liked this girl named Renee, and Danny just turned around and told her. I did not. I was just trying to see if she was interested in you, too. But I didn’t give you up. You did what you did without asking me if it was okay, and that’s not okay. I told you it was a secret. You are my brother and I care about you. And I will always have your back. Okay. It sounds like maybe in the future he doesn’t want you to talk to this girl without him knowing. And for you, he was just trying to help. All right? All right? We cool? Can we, like, shake hands and forgive each other and all that stuff? Hey. We’re family. All right? We got to stick together. I can’t even imagine being tied to Drew in this way. Pretending to be compliant and complicit? It makes me sick to my stomach. There is no good solution here. Unless Drew’s dead. I know you’re hesitant, but please talk to Ric. You’ll have lawyer-client privilege. And he might have an idea that we haven’t thought of. You know, he’s a very unconventional thinker. I’ll think about it. Okay, good. Ultimately, it comes down to this. Which is more awful — Doing Drew’s bidding? Or losing Curtis? What have you got? So Charlotte reached out to Rocco. She’s in Buenos Aires. Well, let’s go. Let’s go. Does anyone else know? No. Does Lulu know? No. We got to find Charlotte before she finds out. Oh, yes. Oh, thank you. This means so much to me. If I can bring Charlotte back to Lulu… Maybe you’ll be able to forgive yourself. [ Elevator doors open ] We’ll get her back. When you came to me and you told me you didn’t want a fling, that was my cue to leave. It’s what I’ve always done. But what did I do? I asked you to dinner. And then you acted available when Vivian started hitting on you. Look, I know how to…work a woman like Vivian, and it’s with charm. At this point in my career, it’s instinctual. Okay, well, that’s not helping. [ Laughs ] But I have no idea how to act when I’m with you. That’s my point. We want two different things. No, we don’t. I don’t want to let you go. Then what do you want? Because I can’t do casual with you. [ Cellphone chimes ] Just get it. It’s okay.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

It’s really you. I can’t believe it. [sniffling] All my life, I’ve been waiting for this moment, and finally it’s happening– being held by my father. STEFFY: Finn’s just as shocked as we are. Of course he’s shocked. He didn’t expect to be someone’s father. Well, Poppy denied it. She swore that her baby wasn’t his. I don’t wanna believe it either, Ridge, but… But this is it, huh? Luna’s Finn’s kid. ZENDE: You’re really leaving? I can’t stay. You said Carter knows you’re going–does he know why? Is this about him? Daphne, you can tell me. Is Carter the reason you wanna leave Los Angeles? [sighs] Hope, I’m not hiding anything from you. I wouldn’t. Good. Because I was right outside the door. Well, I’m sorry you had to see that. I’m sure it was horrible, but if you let me explain– Oh, please, yes. I would love an explanation as to why you and Daphne were kissing. [heavy music plays] I don’t have time to answer questions. -I have to go. -What about the fragrance line? I can handle it from Paris. Daphne, I don’t understand. What is so urgent? Listen, I’m asking as a friend. You’re obviously upset about something. Is it Carter? I put my trust in you, Carter. And you still can. That kiss–it shocked me too, Hope. Look… today has been intense and emotional, and I understand I’ve been a little all over the place, but the last thing I expected was for Daphne to kiss me. Wait. Are you blaming this on her? I know how much you love Finn, how devoted he is to you and the kids. -But you want me to leave him? -I want you to be safe. I-I-I’m worried about you. -Finn’s not gonna hurt us. -No, of course he’s not. But everyone related to him is. Sheila Carter is his birth mother, and now Luna Nozawa’s his daughter? These are dangerous people who are intimately connected to him. I get that you love him. But you have to get away from here. You have to get away from Finn as fast as you can. Luna, look, if I would have known that I had a child, that you were my child, I… I would have stepped up. I would have. But hey, please don’t cry, okay? No, I can’t help it. The way you’re looking at me… -your eyes. -My eyes? I don’t know. I always thought that they were so kind -and compassionate. -[small chuckle] My Aunt Li always looked down on my mom and me, but… but not you. I could see how much you cared. And now I know. I’m looking into the eyes of my father. [soft music plays] ZENDE: I don’t get it, Daphne. -Why are you leaving? Why now? -Can’t be helped. The line just launched! And it’s taking off. It’s a hit. Have you seen the blind buys? It’s all very good, oui, and I’ll do my best to support it, but from Paris. What about Steffy’s plan? I know you feel the same way we do. Hope and Carter stole this company from my family. -Every day they’re in charge… -It’s bad for everyone. I agree. But you won’t do anything to help it. It’s already changing, Zende. Carter’s coming around. He knows what he did was wrong. I’m not blaming Daphne. I’m just saying -I-I didn’t see this coming. -Oh! Okay, so you did nothing at all. I mean, nothing to maybe make her think that– What, like lead her on? No, Hope, I didn’t do that. I don’t know. I mean, you’ve been spending a lot of time working together behind closed doors… Preparing for the drop. Nothing happened before the kiss. Hope, nothing happened. We– We talked. We talked about the takeover, my relationship to the Forresters… Oh. So you were sharing your feelings. She understood. Well, I would hope that she would understand that you are in a committed relationship to me. Hope. Hope, look at me, please. Please. You know I would never hurt you. And I get that I did, and I am sorry. I’ve been trying to do the right thing, be the kind of man you need, and I understand I let you down, and I’m sorry. I believed in you… your vision, not only for the company but for us. And you told me that you would look out for me, that you would have my back, that it wasn’t just empty promises and empty words and that you were different. That you weren’t like those other men in my life. So then you– and can you tell me why I am standing here with that same bitter taste of betrayal in my mouth? [heavy music plays] STEFFY: Finn’s a doctor. He relies on evidence and facts. There is no doubt that Luna is Finn’s daughter. Same Luna that killed two people and tried to kill you– -That’s his kid. -Well, now she’s paying the price, Dad. Finn shouldn’t have to. -He saved me from Luna. -Yeah, from Luna. From Sheila–how many times were you put in jeopardy? -Thank God you survived. -Because of him. Yeah, and we are grateful to him for that. But he’s also the reason that your life was in danger, and because of his connection to Luna, you could be put there again. Steffy, your mom is right. Just grab a few things. We’ll get the kids, and you stay with us at the estate. Leave my husband? No! I– -I can’t do that. -Luna is a threat. -She’s in jail, Mom. -She’s Finn’s child. Wherever she is, she will always have a place in his heart. No. No, Finn and I promised nothing would come between us. I can’t. Can we just take a minute to reset? Come with us, and we’ll keep you safe. This is surreal. [exhales] Ha. Yeah, for a lot of reasons. I’ve been so worried if– what it’d be like to… to see you again. I don’t–I don’t know what I’d say to you. Look, we don’t need to say… anything. This is…very new, and there is a lot to process. I’ve always loved you, you know? And now, to know that you’re my father, I mean, this is more than I could have ever wished for. -Look, Luna… -But… you can’t feel the same way about me after what I did. Attacking Steffy, locking her up…your wife? My stepmother? But you’re here now, and you found me. Will you ever be able to love and embrace me as your daughter? [dramatic chords] Are you saying the plan worked? Carter’s a man of conscience, Zende. -He’s having second thoughts. -Oui. For a while. Do you think that he could stop the takeover on his own? C’est possible. And you think this because you’ve… gotten to know him better? He’s shown me something these last few weeks. Beneath his ambition… there’s integrity, goodness. Look, I don’t wanna overstep, but… you’re jumping ship, going back to Paris. You won’t say why. I may be way off-base here, but the way you’re talking about Carter, Daphne, do you have feelings for him? HOPE: You said I was the only one for you. But then I see Daphne’s lips on yours. Hope, you are the only one for me. Nothing has changed. You have a right to be disappointed. I’m disappointed in myself, in the whole situation. Oh, right, the situation that just took you -completely by surprise? -Yes! Okay, then imagine how shocked I am. I was so excited to celebrate today’s achievements with you, and… Hell, I-I told an entire room full of people how proud I was of you, of your leadership, of your commitment, of what we were building here together. That is what today was supposed to be about, only now, it’s not. Because now I don’t know what to believe. [somber music plays] I love you both so much, and thank you for the concern and support, but what I have with Finn is… is my whole world. I’m not gonna walk away from it or let anything pull us apart. We’ll be fine. Luna can’t hurt us. She’s locked up for the rest of her life. What do you see when you look at me? Do you see your… flesh and blood, your daughter? Or… do you see the woman who lost control? That…hurt so many people, including your wife? I’m sorry, Finn. I’m so, so, so sorry. I-I can’t even imagine everything that you’re going through right now. There must be so many conflicting emotions. I–sorry. I still can’t believe that this is happening. All I know is that my father is here now. After a lifetime of wondering, I finally have a dad and… I couldn’t have picked a more loving, caring dad than you, Finn. I need to go home and talk to Steffy. Finn? Thank you for telling me the truth. You could have lied like my mom, but… you didn’t, and I love you for that… Dad. [somber music plays] DAPHNE: When I first came to Forrester, knowing there was a coup in progress, I thought I’d meet a traitor in you–but I was wrong. You’re a good man with a good heart. [door slams shut] -Leaving? -Oui. Bad timing. I must get back to Paris. I’m leaving today. And why is that, Daphne? Is it because you’re falling for Carter? [dramatic music plays] I really thought we were getting through to her. -Well, we’ll try it again. -Steffy and the kids need to be here with us. It’s safer. Yep. At least until they sort this out. There’s nothing to sort out. That’s why I’m so worried. This situation can’t be changed. Luna’s paternity is an undeniable fact. Yeah. Well, he needs to, I don’t know, set up some boundaries. Luna’s his daughter, Ridge. You’ve seen him with Kelly and Hayes, how devoted he is. But it’s not the same thing. How? Kelly and Hayes, they’re kids. And Luna, she’s a… she’s an adult. She’s a very dangerous and troubled adult who tried to end our daughter’s life. -I’m aware of that. -She’s Sheila Carter’s -granddaughter! -I–okay. So we’re just gonna keep trying. We won’t give up on her. [sighs] I mean, she loves the man. He’s been so good to her and the kids. I can’t deny any of that, and telling her to leave is… extreme. Well, here’s the good news. We’re not talking about Sheila. Luna is in prison. She can’t get to the kids, can’t get to Steffy. Bring it in. [soft music plays] [music warps slightly] My father. Finn is my father. STEFFY: I’m right. You did it. You killed Tom and Hollis. [moans] What are you doing to me? You let me out of here! Let me out! [grunting] [intense music plays] Uh, hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah, no, I, uh, my parents were just here. You told them about Luna? My mom told me to take the kids and leave. Leave? You. She’s afraid for me, Finn, especially Kelly and Hayes. First Sheila, and now…Luna. Look, I understand why they’d be so concerned. But I told them no. I told them I love you and I’m not going anywhere. We’re gonna get through this. We’re gonna face this together. Look, Luna can’t hurt us anymore. -FINN: Uh, yeah– -She’s locked up. She’s in prison and we never have to think or talk about her ever again. I love you. I love you so much. The most…important thing in the world to me are you and the kids. Your safety and your well-being, it’ll-it’ll always come first. I know that. No. But you don’t know everything. There’s something else that you need to know about Luna. [dramatic music plays] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Eva?

EVA: Morning, Nicole. I’ve confirmed your appointments, sorted your emails and restocked the office supplies. Already? I haven’t even had my morning coffee. Well, Mona gave me the rundown on how you like things to run smoothly, as well as your coffee order. Sugar-free latte with oat milk, light foam and two pumps of caramel.

Let me put it in now.

That won’t be necessary. I’m headed to the country club to have breakfast with my family. Did I forget to text you that today would be a late start? I got the message, but I just wanted to come correct to make a good impression on my first day. Mission accomplished. Thanks. Although there were some emails I wasn’t too sure about. Before we get into that, we need to discuss the elephant in the room. And don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Laura’s surgery is confirmed for tomorrow. Poor thing’s gonna be laid up for a while. She was about to live her best life. Off to Hawaii on a romantic getaway with the boy toy, then bam! She gets run off the road, crashes her car and breaks her leg? Talk about the worst luck. [engine revving] [tires squealing] [car crashes] It’s nice how your bosses have stepped up for her. They did? How? Oh, Nicole and Ted are covering her medical expenses. Ted Richardson even admitted her to his private clinic. They’re treating Laura like family. Do the police have any leads on who did this to her? I haven’t heard of any, but I have been thinking. [Jan exclaims] All that late-night true crime binging paying off?

Girl, you know I’m obsessed.

[laughing]: Yeah. So, the crash happened near some warehouses. I bet the police pulled the security footage. So, it’s only a matter of time. Wow. [indistinct police radio chatter] ♪ ♪ [sighs] ♪ ♪ What elephant in the room? Eva, let’s not play dumb. By now, I know that you’ve seen the drama that unfolded at Bill and Hayley’s wedding fiasco. [sighs] Oh, you mean hashtag Shotgun Wedding? That’s the one. I was trying not to bring it up. My job is to make your day easier, not remind you of stress from your personal life.

I’m sure it’s been hard enough.

Oh, you don’t know the half. But my family will get through it. We always do. I’ve heard that about the Duprees. That when stuff happens, you guys circle the wagons. Must be nice. It’s nice when you can help, not so much when you can’t. Will your sister be okay? If she stays offline. I can only imagine the Internet’s having a field day. I’m not making excuses for Dani, and she has owned up to all of it. But she’s mourning the life she thought she’d have. The life she felt she deserved. Rejection like that can make anyone lash out. Oh, I get it. More than you know. Well, that was brutal. Someone brought the heat today. Whatever’s gotten into you, I love it. Well, then give yourself a pat on the back.

Me?

Left to my own devices, I avoid the gym like a plague. But you… [sighs] know which buttons to push. I guess I don’t want to let you down. Oh. My husband. [Vanessa chuckles] Leslie, I got to hand it to you. Suggesting that Eva fill in for Laura was a stroke of genius. Does that mean it’s going well? Still too early to tell. It’s just the first day. Don’t worry. Eva has what it takes to not only do the job but thrive at it. I spent some time schooling her. She soaked it up like a sponge. Filled up that little spiral notebook so fast, I thought smoke was gonna come off the pages. [laughter] Always a good sign. [laughter] Well, I did drill into her head that you only get one shot at a first impression. Sounds like it took root. Eva’s such a sweet girl, and she’s so eager to please. I remember her saying she was looking for a new direction in life. Well, if she keeps up this attitude, whichever path she chooses, sky’s the limit. That’s the master plan. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ Who the hell are you? EVA: Oh, hi. We haven’t met yet. I’m Eva, Dr. Richardson’s new assistant. And you’re her daughter? A qualified assistant would already know that. Just wanted to make sure. Kat, right? I’ve heard all about you from Mona. She and my surrogate mom are friends. Surrogate mom? My biological mother died when I was little. Leslie took me in and raised me as her own. We recently moved here from Chicago and met Mona at church. Now it makes sense. Who you know got you this gig. Sure wasn’t your professional style. Your mother said the vibe was more of a relaxed work environment. Is that why you thought it was okay to go snooping through her desk? Snoop? No. I was just hunting for… a stapler. Oh, like that one over there? Ah, right in front of me. [laughs] I’m still getting familiar with the office. Shouldn’t you be meeting your mom at the country club? You’ve been here all of, what, ten minutes, and you’re already in my business? Well, I only mention it because Nicole said your family was having breakfast.

So I just thought that…

That’s your first mistake. So we’re clear, you handle my mom’s schedule, not mine. Do not concern yourself with what I’m doing or where I’m going. Fair enough. I didn’t mean to offend you. Also, my dad’s overseeing Laura’s care. She’ll be back on her feet soon enough, so don’t get comfortable. We all want Laura back, including me. Hey. [chuckles] This went south real fast. Let’s start over. No need. This is a short-term assignment. Maybe even shorter than you think. [birds chirping] Look at you, making time for breakfast. Feels like forever since we’ve done this. It has been a minute, hasn’t it? I hope you haven’t been feeling neglected. I get it. Emergencies happen. Although it does seem it’s been nonstop lately. It’s that time of year, post holidays, after people overindulge. Plus the common cold combined with the seasonal flu. I guess cardiac surgeons will always be in high demand. But can’t you refer some cases out before you have a heart attack? I know I need to set boundaries. It’s just hard turning people away that’s going through it. They come to me scared, confused, holding on to hope. Makes me think how I would want my loved one’s doctor fighting for my family with everything they’ve got. [sighs] Your patients are lucky to have you. I am, too. So… [laughter]

Hi.

Hello. Getting slow in your old age.

Hey, cut it out.

I said what I said. I guess we could have squeezed in a few more baskets since the family hasn’t arrived yet. You’re only saying that because I was beating you for once. Hey, don’t get cocky. I already told you, I wasn’t properly stretched.

Sure.

[phone vibrating] Congressman Richardson. No, I won’t comment on the wedding. But if you would like to hear the proposed changes to the national defense bill my subcommittee dr– I didn’t think so. I love my aunt, and I respect her privacy. Quote that. No wonder they say real journalism is dead. The press isn’t gonna let up. I wouldn’t. You were a serious reporter who covered issues that mattered. Not like these vultures, just looking for clickbait. I also knew not to take no for an answer. This is why I wait it out. This is the United States of Amnesia. Next week, another scandal pops up, and Aunt Dani’s drama is ancient history, never to be unearthed again. What did you say your name was again? This is it, honey. Ooh, it’s the day I-I’ve dreamed about. [laughs] You are finally gonna be where you should’ve been all along. In your father’s house. I never met a man like him before. And he never loved a girl like me. I’m sorry for what he did to you, Mama. To us. To us. I-I will pass that along. I’m sorry to barge in. I’m looking for Dr. Richardson. I’m the other Dr. Richardson, her husband Ted. Oh, I know who you are. You must be the new assistant that’s stepping in for Laura.

Yes.

And your name? Oh, right. Sorry. It’s Eva. Eva Thomas. Pleasure to meet you, Eva. We’re happy that you’re on board. Happy that you’re here. [quiet chatter] Sorry to intrude. You’re always welcome at our table.

Isn’t that right, Doug?

Oh, yeah.

How’s it going, Diego?

Good, thanks. I just heard from my cousin who’s moving into the area. He has deep pockets, and he saw this listing online that he’s crazy about. It’s actually one of yours. Delightful. Which one? Constitution Avenue. Grand entrance, killer view to the Capitol. The Coleman Estate. And it is available immediately. When will your cousin be in town? We can arrange a viewing. Uh, he was hoping that I could take a first look. VANESSA: Of course. I can show you the property after breakfast. You could even take some videos to give your cousin a virtual tour. Thank you, Ms. McBride. You’re the best. I’ll swing by in a few. Doctor. [laughing] Oh. Oh. Oh, that’s bad. [laughing] Are you all watching that Bill and Hayley wedding mess again? You could probably lip-synch the whole thing by now. Well, I can’t get over the look on Bill’s face. I mean, he actually thought he could humiliate his ex and get away with it. I’m with you. That man had it coming. Flaunting his infidelity like that. Having a wedding at the country club. Buying his mistress-now-wife a house in the neighborhood. Where all their old friends would see them. The audacity. Lady Karma is patient, but when she strikes… Mm. Too bad Dani’s aim wasn’t as patient. I’m almost sorry she missed.

Oh.

[Jan laughing] Oh, come on, Mona. You have to admit he had it coming. I don’t find it funny. Nicole is my girl, and this mess is wearing her and the whole Dupree family down. How would you feel if your family’s dirty laundry was exposed for the whole world to kee-kee at? [smacks lips] She makes a point. They must be mortified. Good thing they have a shrink in the family. And it’s weighing on Nicole. She’s the one holding everybody down. One of these days, it’s gonna be too much for her. There you are. Sorry I’m late. Is your brother here yet? Martin and Smitty are already inside. But before you go in, we need to talk. Of course, sweetheart. What’s on your mind? Mom, I met your new assistant. Great. I was hoping you and Eva would hit it off. You have so much in common. You’re joking. So it’s like that? Regardless of what you may think of Eva, she is already doing a fantastic job.

I think you can do better.

Why do you say that? Because I caught her snooping around your desk. She is still getting acquainted with the office. And she seems mad shady. You are not always a beacon of sunshine yourself, young lady. Are you sure you just didn’t make her nervous? Can you just trust me on this? My reads on people are usually spot-on. Let me help you with this. I use this app to staff Dad’s office. Give me till the end of the hour, and I will have a hundred resumes with more relevant experience than hairstyling. And given her IG, she’s not even good at that. Katherine Richardson, I raised you better than to be this judgmental. I’m being cautious. You would think this family would’ve learned their lesson after what Hayley put us through. What are you saying, Kat? That I didn’t do my due diligence? This might surprise you, but I did more than scan a few posts and make a silly assessment on her clothes. I interviewed Eva myself, checked her references, one of which is a close friend I trust. Now, are there any other of my employees you would like to replace, or can we finally have breakfast? I was hoping to catch my wife so we could drive to the country club together, but my morning ran long, and it seems like I just missed her. Seems like you got a good handle on things here. I’m doing my best, Dr. Richardson.

[phone vibrates]

Uh, call me Ted. I’m sure your best is fantastic. Nicole was looking for someone to step right in, and you’re making my wife’s life a whole lot easier. You don’t have to say that. Sure I do. My job is to make Nicole’s life happy, and you’re helping me do so. So, keep up the good work.

Hey, what’s up?

I was hoping you had a minute to talk about Laura’s hit-and-run. I’ll give you some privacy. Excuse me. TED: So, what did you find out? I’ve given Laura this update as well. We pulled the security footage from near the crash site, but it wasn’t much help. The motorcycle that caused it was a popular model. Can’t catch every crotch rocket in D.C., huh? What about the license plate? Removed. And the driver’s face was obscured by a helmet. I made a few calls, got our best guys to enhance it, but they couldn’t do anything with the video. TED: No witnesses have come forward? None. And no evidence at the scene either. Just some skid marks from Laura’s car. Look, Ted, I hate to say it, but we’ve hit a dead end. Look at our Deanna looking like Ms. Collegiate on the quad. She’s so bundled up with all those hats and scarves,

you can barely see her face.

[laughing] She is still adorable. Oh, is that the time? I got to bounce before the hospital starts paging.

A poker chip?

Oh, must be from the charity casino night here at the country club.

I got it.

Okay. All right. I love you.

Doug.

Ah, Ted.

Catch you on the flip?

Yes. [quiet chatter] I ordered your usual. Should be out any sec. Good looking from my good-looking. Any word from Dani? Actually, I was just telling the kids she sounded okay on the phone. Well, okay for Dani. Her friend Pamela is treating her to a spa day. Which is a good move. It gives her a chance to chill out and keeps her out of the public eye. That’s Martin-speak for the less attention she gets, the better his poll numbers. Well, you better brace for impact, bro. That video made The Shade Room, The Breakfast Cluband TMZ. And it’s still trending with no signs of slowing down. We may need to hook Aunt Dani up with a permanent membership to that spa. Let’s not anticipate the worst. This could all blow over. I wouldn’t count on it. Your perspective is all screwed up from your time in Congress. For them, scandal is just another word for Tuesday. [laughter] This is a small community with a long memory. People still come for me for all the dumb stuff I did back in the day. You’re too young for “back in the day.” What are we talking about, sis? Middle school. [laughter] How are your folks holding up? Must be rough. Vernon and Anita have always been grace under pressure. Yeah, but this is different. Dani’s pain cuts Mother and Daddy deep. Your babies are always your babies, no matter how grown they get. [sighs] I rushed over as soon as I saw your text.

Why aren’t you at your new job?

I’m running errands for Nicole. She won’t expect me back for a while. Okay. So what happened? It’s nothing bad. Everything is fine. Better than fine, actually. Nicole likes me so much, you could be looking at her new employee of the month. Okay, well, if everything’s fine, then why did you need to see me? Mama, I met him. I met my father. Lord have mercy. Spill it. Spill it all.

Every last drop.

Okay, okay. Well, he strolled in looking for Nicole, but she was out. So he introduced himself to me. He shook my hand like I was any other employee. I mean, that’s it, really. Sounds like he didn’t have time for a proper meet. Oh, I hope you’re not too disappointed, honey. No, well, we actually got interrupted. Well, he probably thought I was intimidated or whatever by him, anyway. Mom, I was so shook, I could barely string two words together. Who cares what he thought? What’d you think of him? Well, I can see now how someone as innocent as you were could have fallen for him. That man thinks he’s God’s gift to Black women everywhere. Hmm. But I knew his good guy routine was all cap.

Hmm.

Smoke and mirrors, Ma. It means he’s faker than knockoff Gucci. He talked about “Nicole this” and “Nicole that” and how he just wanted to make her happy. Yeah, there’s some truth to that. He dropped everything for Nicole. He was smiling in my face, laying it on thick, thinking I was gonna fall for his game like everyone else. Good thing you didn’t. I’m his daughter, and not a flicker of recognition. And why would there be, huh? Since he walked away from us and never looked back. All I could think about was how he did you dirty. And how scared you must have been to face the world as a single mom. Sounds like you handled yourself very well. [sighs] My heart was beating so loud, I was worried he could hear it. I should’ve put him on blast right then and there. Soon enough, baby girl. Soon enough. Our day is just around the corner.

Pops.

Good to see you, son. [sighs] I appreciate you making time for some coffee. I know you got a million things on your plate. No sweat at all. I’m always looking for a good excuse to escape headquarters. Rather be out here with the rank and file, you know? Especially when it’s with you or your brother. Things to think about before accepting the promotion to chief of police. Who knew that high-ranking title came with a ball and chain? Yeah, I didn’t have much of an option. It was either that ball and chain or retire and be one to your mother. [laughs] So how’s your day? Man. I just had to break it to Ted Richardson that the security footage of the car crash is damn near useless. We may never ID the biker who ran Laura off the road. Yeah, the Richardsons are not used to hearing no. He didn’t come at you sideways, now, did he? Nah. Ted knew it was a long shot. [sighs] Something’s eating at you. Come on, Pops. You know exactly what’s wrong. [sighs] I was at the wedding when Dani pulled her weapon, and I didn’t stop or arrest her. I had a duty to act, and I neglected it. [sighs] I know I let you down. I’m all in. Show me the money. Come on. Come… It’s all good. It’s all good. W-We still in this. We still in this. [sighs] I wish I’d known about Dani’s spa day. I would’ve cleared my work schedule to keep her company. Aren’t you generous? It’s a sacrifice I’d be willing to make. Got to show solidarity with my girl. Jokes aside, I appreciate the neighborhood standing behind Dani, even when my sister doesn’t make it easy. You can always count on me. I’d better get going. I have a listing to show. Uh, I should, too. Where are Martin and Smitty? In the lobby, schmoozing with one of Martin’s donors. Are you heading to the hospital? I can meet you there and show you the research I did on that laser equipment you mentioned. That’ll work. See you later. At least Dad trusts my instincts. Kat, I do not doubt your business acumen for a second. You have done wonders for your dad’s private practice. Then why won’t you listen to me about Eva? Profit margins are one thing. Interpersonal relationships are another. When it comes to people, you have a blind spot. And I think you have a blind spot when it comes to Eva. Come on, Mom. Tell me you didn’t do a double take when you saw Eva’s tacky boots. You’re a psychiatrist. Your assistant should be professional and pulled together like Laura. Or casual and relatable like Eva. She was rude to me. Were you rude first? Be honest. You should listen to me, Mom. I have a sixth sense about these things, and that girl is sus. You’re gonna regret ever bringing her into our lives. I met another member of that family today. The congressman? Martin? I thought you were being bitter when you called Kat a spoiled princess, but now that I’ve seen her for myself, she’s actually worse. That young woman reeks of arrogance. She has a stank attitude, too. Took one look at me and decided I was worth less than the dirt on the bottom of her stiletto heel. I know the feeling. She basically told me to pack my desk and dropped hints about me getting fired. Okay, here’s how you handle that one. Stay quiet, stand tall and picture the look on her face when she realizes that she’s not Daddy’s only daughter. I hope her Louboutins are comfortable, because she’s about to fall hard off that pedestal. [chuckles] Well, her brother isn’t as bad. Well, unfortunately, he wasn’t there. Neither was his husband. But Naomi’s husband Jacob did drop by to talk to Ted about some police business. Ah, well, they’re probably investigating Dani going gun crazy at the country club. Mm-mm. That’s what I thought, too. He’s actually investigating Laura’s car crash. I think you’re being too hard on yourself. Come on, Pops. I don’t need you making excuses for me. When have I ever done that? I hear you, son. You feel like you dropped the ball, but there’s more than one kind of duty.

What do you mean?

You’re a family man now. You have a responsibility to your wife as well as the badge. Yeah, but to just ignore a crime… You can’t always rush in half-cocked, son. In the heat of the moment, a good cop trusts his gut. And you may not always get it right, but in this case, I think you did just fine. Fine? People could have gotten hurt because I hesitated. But they didn’t. And Dani turned herself in. Yeah, I didn’t think she was gonna do that. Yeah, but you know the Duprees. They handle their business and weren’t about to let this mess go on and have their name drug through the mud. And they didn’t. It all worked out fine. So you think I’m torturing myself for no good reason. Take a page from The Beatles, son. Let it be. [sighs] Dr. McBride, has Lady Luck decided to find you yet? On her way. If only the house could spot me a little something to win what I lost, I can have it back to you tonight. Maybe tomorrow at the latest. Unfortunately, that doesn’t follow company policy. Got to clear the tab before we can extend any more credit. How about I get you a suite for later? Nah, that’s okay. I appreciate you, though. Holler at me if you need anything else. [line ringing] Hey, listen, man, I need to see you. You mind stopping by? SMITTY: Hey. If you’re having me time, I can go listen to Martin

work over a donor.

Boy, sit. I’ve been meaning to check up on my favorite son-in-law, anyway.

[sighs]

How’s your world these days? Uh, good. Tyrell and Samantha are, you know, teenagers. So they’re doing their own thing. Not interested in sharing every detail of their day

with Daddy anymore?

No. They’re growing up. Martin and I aren’t empty nesters yet, but… [sighs] it’s close. And I’m not gonna lie, I’m already starting to feel kind of lost. It happens to the best of us. All the time I spent driving them around and making their lunches and reading them bedtime stories. It does seem like yesterday. Well, now I have hours to myself, but for what? I mean, there are only so many political podcasts I can listen to before I feel like the world’s about to implode. That is why they keep the news running 24/7.

It’s meant to draw in worriers like you.

Yeah. Have you thought about channeling that energy into something positive? I am on three parent committees, Nicole. I mean something positive for you, not your children. You have an activist spirit. You want to do good. Have you considered joining Martin’s team? You mean having my husband as my boss? [laughs] Okay, when you say it like that, it definitely sounds like a recipe for disaster. You know, I did have a thought about getting back into reporting. There’s nothing like the rush of being on the scent of a big story.

That sounds promising.

We’ll see. I did reach out to some former colleagues, just put out some feelers, just to gauge the level of interest. So this is more than just a thought. How does Martin feel about it? I haven’t told him yet. If what Mona told me was right

and Laura’s accident wasn’t an accident…

Okay, listen. I know Mona loves her tea, but that doesn’t make any sense. Look, maybe the driver was drunk or showing off, but intentional? The police have it on camera, but the motorcycle didn’t have any plates. Which means whoever did it wanted to make sure they couldn’t be tracked. What is the world coming to? I can’t see how anyone would want to hurt an innocuous girl like that. Wonder if Jacob will be able to find the driver despite the missing license plate. I doubt it. He has nothing to go on. It’s like he’s chasing a ghost. That just burns my grits. Huh. I pray they get that culprit. What’s wrong? You look troubled. I’m sorry, but I just… I can’t shake this feeling of guilt. Honey, you are not the one that ran Laura off the road. No, but I’m benefiting from it. I mean, here I am, sliding into her job, which strangely fits perfectly into our plans. Meanwhile, Laura is laid up in the hospital. Yeah, well, people are blessed with good fortune every day. All right? So there’s no reason for you to blame yourself for an opportunity that fell into your lap. But did it? I know it’s crazy for me to go there, but I just keep thinking about how you’ve rented bikes before when you got the urge to ride. I did, but what in the world are you… Just help me get this out of my head, Mama. Tell me you had nothing to do with that crash. Oh, thank God you’re here. Yo, my man. This high-roller table is calling my name, but the casino won’t lend me another dime. Is that why you pulled me away from my breakfast rib eye? What do you expect me to do about it? You work for the owner. Can’t you vouch for a brother? [sighs] How deep are you in, man? Seriously, Doug, do I look like your fairy godmother? I swear on my mama, I’m good for it. Don’t you dare bring your mama into this. She would snatch your behind if she heard. Come on, Randy. I’m desperate here. See, and that right there is the problem. You and me, we go back to the sandbox, and you know I would take a bullet for you, but I won’t help you dig your own grave. And that’s damn well what’s gonna happen if we start throwing my boss’s good money over bad. Don’t you got a-a rainy day stash somewhere? Even if I did, I wouldn’t throw it down your bottomless pit. What about your wife? Isn’t Vanessa’s family loaded? Out of the question. So is my boss. Joey’s not what you would call a sympathetic guy, and I want to keep both my kneecaps. So do you. I guess I’m S.O.L. [sighs] Not if you swallow your pride. Go to Vanessa. “For richer or for poorer,” remember? [sighs] Ready to go whenever you are. I’m free right now. Let’s get the party started. Just wait until you see the property. It has an elegant staircase, vaulted ceiling, large windows… Uh, that’s not the type of party I’m talking about. What do you think you’re doing? I’m giving you what you want. About damn time. [Vanessa panting] We will have to finish our chat later. Oh, um, it’s the committee meeting for the annual teachers’ appreciation gala. Don’t have too much fun. Bye. I actually should be getting back myself. Um, actually, Mom, would you mind staying? I have something I want to discuss. I hope it isn’t bad news. God knows we’ve had enough of that as of lately. Then what’s the good news? I’ve been thinking about the next step of my career. Oh, I don’t know how helpful I could be with that. Usually when it comes to politics, you consult with your grandfather. I’m planning to speak to Granddad, too, but it just feels like you need to be the first one to know. You running for reelection to Congress wouldn’t be a surprise. No, I haven’t made a commitment yet, but I’m considering running… for president. Oh, my God. Martin, that is wonderful! [laughs] How could you even let that thought cross your mind?

I know it sounds crazy.

It sounds ridiculous! Your whole plan was for me to get a job with the Richardsons. At the club or the clinic or even with Ashley at the hospital, once we got to know her. And maybe that plan went out the window when the opportunity with Laura popped up.

Oh, my…

So what’d you do?

Hire a hit man just to get me closer to the Duprees?

What? That is absurd! How could you even say something like that? How could you even think I would consider doing something like that? After all we have been through, even after… after all this time, you really think your mother is capable of such a heinous crime? Oh, my… No, no, no. Of course not. Look, look, look, I’m sorry, okay? I-I just couldn’t get it out of my head, and I had to ask to be sure. Are you getting cold feet? Is that what this is about? Because if it is, I already told you, and I meant when I said you don’t have to go through with this. No, no. I said I’m ten toes down, and that’s still the case. After all these years, Dr. Ted Richardson is finally gonna have to face up to what he did. We’re so close. But, baby, you got to play it cool.

Get them to trust me.

Yeah, exactly. Lower their guard, and then I will make sure that their world comes crashing down all around them. And then you will step in, and you will take what is rightfully yours all along. My name and my birthright. That’s right.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

You want to go to a press conference on our wedding night? Darling, it’s not that I want to go. I– look, I cannot let Vernon Dupree spin a tale for the press that he all but owns. We’re married now. Who cares what Dani did? Let it go. Dani pulled a gun on us at our wedding, tried to humiliate us by making us bow before her. If she had snapped any further, we, we could’ve died. But we didn’t. They’re gonna spread around a bunch of cash and call in some favors to make sure she gets off. So what, Bill? Don’t you want to see them pay? I want to get under the covers with my new husband and have the honeymoon that he promised me. But we will have our honeymoon, baby, okay, I promise, but Dani robbed you of the wedding you dreamed of. Okay? It’s time for payback. I got to go. Not a chance, Bill Hamilton. United front, everyone. I’ll do all the talking. Naomi, where is Jacob? Uh, he got called into work. Sorry, Granddad. It’s a shame. A police officer in our ranks would speak volumes. I know, but Jacob and I just thought… It’s all right, sweetheart. With all of you behind me, the message is clear. The Duprees continue to be leaders in the community and above reproach. Not to throw cold water on your strategy, Granddad, but that’s a tough sell. Why? My congressional staff has clogged my inbox. With what? Apparently, clips from the live stream have gone viral on every platform. We caught that, too, with some shade and dragging mixed in. My grandparents Facebook group is shocked that a Dupree would cause such a scene, at a wedding no less. On Insta alone, over three million views. All right, everyone, devices away. I called this press conference to shut down all this chatter, not engage in it. Daddy, I can talk about what Dani did from a psychological perspective. I don’t want anyone calling my daughter crazy. That’s why I can help. I can tell the press it’s possible that a mentally healthy person can have a temporary break. I’m not sure how helpful that would be. Don’t you think me being a psychiatrist makes me the most credible messenger? Not only that, Dani’s my sister. My experiences with her makes it personal. When Dani messes up, I clean up. That’s our eternal dance, Daddy. Could be right. I’m gonna go let ’em in. Like mother, like daughter. Like I don’t already feel bad enough. How many times do I have to say it? I’m sorry I live streamed it, okay?

I didn’t mean to, but…

Okay. Please squabble later, you two. The press has arrived. Game faces, everyone. Thank you for coming out on such short notice. I realize many of you had kicked off your shoes and, uh, settled in for the evening. Sir, if I could just ask you a few quick questions… Is that Mrs. Cantor? Oh, so glad you came out. How’s the new baby? She is fine, but what I really want to know about… I’ll let you get right back to her. There’s been a lot of speculation about recent events concerning my family. Um, I’d like to give an accurate picture of what transpired here at this country club earlier today. The video is pretty clear, is it not? During the wedding of Bill Hamilton and Hayley Lawson, a gun belonging to my daughter Danielle inadvertently discharged. Not a crime, just an unfortunate accident in which no one was hurt. So if that’s the case, then why is she not here right now? I am here. I’m just running a little late. There is no way in the world that I would miss this press conference. You all deserve the truth. Oh, my first week nursing, and I deliver a baby in an elevator. I don’t even know how to process that.

It’s amazing.

Yeah, and instead of me actually being on the outside watching, taking quick pics, it was next-level real seeing everything. But you were so together, I would have thought you delivered babies on the regular. Nah, I was just following your lead, Ashley.

That new mom…

Her name is Alix. Yeah, Alix– she thought you’d done it a million times, and I was not about to give her a tip that I was shook. Okay, but don’t sell yourself short, Andre. The way you calmed me down when I was freaking out, I so needed that. And he never led onto Alix that it was my first week nursing or I never delivered a baby on my own. You were a great partner. As you can all see, my daughter Dani is here and just fine. This is lying low? What are you doing? Isn’t this presser about me?

Yes, but Daddy…

Well, then it would be suspicious if I weren’t here. You’re not the only one who can help this family. Dani, tell us why you’d bring a gun to a wedding. Our family’s high profile and our political activism makes us targets. We’ve had numerous death threats over the years. Danielle’s gun is legally registered and she has a concealed carry permit. We’ve all seen the footage. It’s very evident that your daughter intentionally pulled a gun on her ex-husband and his new wife. So how about you stop spinning the truth just to protect your family? I’ve been in those situations. They’re intense. Looks to me like you were both calm under pressure. Oh, honey, you have that so wrong.

Oh, man.

News flash. Is it Alix and the baby? What’s wrong? Nothing. The doctor said Alix is doing just great. And the baby? Little Ashley Andrea is doing perfect. Ashley Andrea? Aw. How cool is that?

Congratulations, namesake.

Same back at you. I love that she named the baby after you two. She’s always going to remember who helped deliver her precious little bundle of joy. Isn’t that wonderful? Okay. You do remember you married an attorney, right?

Yes.

Okay, so what do you think happens

if I don’t show up in court?

The opposing side wins. Yes, without so much as a blink from the judge. Okay, well, this isn’t a lawsuit. I’m your wife, not a client. I don’t care if that self-righteous family comes up with some ridiculous explanation for what happened. You and I know the truth. That’s enough. Not for me, it’s not. And it shouldn’t be for you either, Hayley. Look, if Vernon can blame me for what his daughter did and the press buys it, that directly affects my practice, my ability to land clients, provide for my wife. It affects how judges and juries see me. Oh, you mean your reputation? Yes, my reputation matters. And so does yours, by the way. I’m not that shallow. Okay, okay, hey, wait, wait, hey, hey, hey. That’s, that’s one of the many reasons I love you, baby. Okay? But I won’t have you labeled a home-wrecker when it was– it’s been Dani who’s been a one-woman wrecking ball ever since you and I fell in love. That’s why I need to go to this press conference. And I’m asking you not to. Look, I just married you, Bill. I know you love me, okay, and that’s part of why you need to confront them. But what about how I feel, huh? What does it say to our commitment if you will leave me on our wedding night to do damage control because of your ex? Please. Don’t leave me here alone. There is no spin. Yes, Dani deliberately took out a gun at a public gathering, an admitted lapse in judgment. Yes, someone could have been hurt. So, you’re saying she wasn’t attempting to shoot her ex-husband or the person that he left her for? It’s a ridiculous question. Now, Dani had no desire to shoot anyone. Why point the gun at the bride and groom, then? [scoffs] You all seem to have memorized the video frame by frame, so surely you must have noticed Dani shift the gun away from Bill and Hayley before firing. Yes, my daughter acknowledges her mistake despite being under horrific emotional strain. Dani, did you plan to kill them? That is preposterous, and before you make any more outrageous accusations against my daughter, there’s a few things I need you to know. There is a proper context through which to view this video. You all know our family has always remained private and circumspect, which is why the press never caught the slightest hint of the hell Bill Hamilton and Hayley Lawson put Danielle through. Exactly. Yep. Bill gaslit my daughter. He had an affair with Hayley right under her nose and then called her paranoid when she suspected. And Hayley embarked on a mission to become my granddaughter Naomi’s best friend and then proceeded to use that friendship to insinuate herself into her best friend’s father’s bed. She is hardly an innocent victim. Danielle crossed the line– we acknowledge that she did– but it was Bill Hamilton who pushed her over it. And if there are any consequences to be faced… So, what do you mean by consequences? That will be all. No more questions. I’d like to answer that.

Shanice: You go, girl. [Ashley chuckles] I need to go see Alix and thank her. I’ll go with you. After all, her name is Ashley Andrea. You want to come with us?

Shanice: I-I think maybe you should hold off for a little bit. The doctor just left, and Mama, Daddy, and baby are just settling in for a nap. Well, I should at least send Alix flowers or something. I mean, how do you thank somebody for something this huge? It’s a big deal. And you guys earned it. Yeah, I-I’ve never had somebody named after me before. Hope she’s not doomed to pick up my bad habits.

Hmm, and what are those again?

ASHLEY: It doesn’t matter. Whatever bad habits you have, you’re also this major photographer and somebody who doesn’t melt down in an emergency. Be cool for her to inherit all that. Listen to Ashley, man. You’re all right. Yeah, but compared to you, I’m a slouch. You fight fires, I take pics. You tackle emergencies every day. It makes my gig seem trifling. How about we say this? You are both pretty fine men with awesome qualities and one pretty lucky nurse. I am lucky. And exhausted. I should get you out of here. This first. WOMAN [over P.A.]: Nurse to the fifth floor lab. I would be a coward if I let my parents take the blame for what I did. I can’t. No, no, today I blazed past even my own guardrails, and I want to apologize. First to the staff, who must have been terrified when they saw that gun. I am so sorry. And to my family, who doesn’t deserve the shame that I heaped on them. Mom, Dad. I know I can’t apologize enough. You are the best parents. You’ve given me the moon since I knew how to point to it, and disappointing you is the worst punishment ever. No excuses. But I will admit… …this is a very low point in my life. And I hate that my daughter is blaming herself for it. Chelsea, baby, come here. You didn’t do anything wrong. There is no way you could have known what would happen.

Bill: Aw. I’m all choked up. Still in her wedding gown? Probably your dad’s idea. Uncle Bill– or used-to-be uncle– all about the optics. Beautifully played, Duprees, as always, but I’d like to add a little testimony of my own.

Just wait here, sweetheart.

Bill is about to ruin this, after Daddy orchestrated this presser beautifully. There’s not much we can do now. Seems we arrived just in the nick of time. And your spiel was very informative, by the way. It was news to me that our wedding was broadcast all over social media. And I’m pretty sure that your fun little live stream could be evidence of quite a few unlawful behaviors– disorderly conduct, making a terrorist threat, menacing, first-degree assault, discharging a firearm, reckless endangerment of the greater public. Shall I go on? My ex-wife is right about one thing, though. This is not my daughter’s fault. Chelsea, baby, you don’t have to feel one iota of guilt because I’m sure your mother pressured you to record the moment in order to humiliate me. She didn’t. Mom didn’t have anything to… Be that as it may… sadly, in spite of my ex-wife’s sob story, which makes her erratic and insane behavior sound like a one-off, this is not an isolated incident. Dani has been harassing Hayley and me for days now. She physically assaulted Hayley in front of witnesses, disfiguring her face right before our wedding. I should have had Dani arrested the moment I saw Hayley’s injuries, but Dani is the mother of my two children Naomi and Chelsea, and I wanted to respect them, respect the past that we all had together, but with that being said, I have run out of patience. Now let me be clear– this is not about me. I can handle whatever Dani Dupree dishes out. But I will not sit idly by while she bullies my wife. [Shanice clears throat] I would say “Get a room,” but all the ones here are for sick people, and you two are clearly very healthy. I’m so sorry. That was so unprofessional. I’m not gonna hold it against you since you delivered your first baby in an elevator, stuck, but don’t think every day’s gonna be that exciting. Some days you’ll deliver babies without being on an elevator with a world-class photographer. And I doubt you’ll have much reason to stop by the hospital. Well, actually, I am overdue for a checkup, so… Oh, please. Don’t act like you’re not plugged in around here. His aunt, Dr. Nicole Richardson, is on staff as a psychiatrist here, and his uncle, the renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Ted Richardson, works out of here, too, when he’s not at his ultrachic, private, exclusive practice. What? It pays to be informed. ANDRE: Yes, it does, Shanice, and, uh, thank you for reminding me that I have quite a few reasons to drop by more often.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm. Oh, add these extra hours you worked before you leave. Yeah. Well, uh, I’m going to take a hike.

All right.

Thank you again, Andre. Tonight was unforgettable. Yeah. See you.

[reporters clamoring]

Mr. Hamilton… why here on your wedding night? I allowed you to grandstand at my gathering, but now it’s time for you to back off. REPORTER: You have gone viral. Your family is a viral sensation. REPORTER 2: How do you care about how this makes you look? REPORTER 1: Your ex shot someone? Should she go to jail? This press conference is over. Thank you, as always, for the courtesy you extend my family and allowing us to set the record straight. That was a trip. Yeah. What’s on your mind? Well, while you were playing dutiful grandson and I was playing dutiful spouse to said grandson, I kept thinking. About what? The conversation back at Vernon and Anita’s. It was weird. Why? Because when you said that you understood how rage could explode into acting out… Yeah? Well, your grandparents– they looked at each other like they were in some secret society or something. That just happens when you’ve been married for so long. You and I do the same thing. I guess. I know you two think I screwed up royally by showing up at this press conference. We think no such thing. Your face says otherwise.

It went perfectly fine.

Until Bill crashed it. I know I keep letting these things get out of hand, but I meant what I said about taking responsibility. Daddy… I want you to call the police. And is that everything?

Nicole: My mother made a voluntary statement. Now, if you’re planning on taking her in, you better have probable cause for an arrest since you have no warrant. You are her daughter. And an attorney-at-law. Officer Jenkins, is it? Yes. I really admire your professionalism here. I’ll be playing golf with the chief of police tomorrow. You know Chief Elon Hawthorne? We’re close friends, even have family ties. I’ll be sure to tell him all about how we were treated by the police this evening. Doesn’t sound like there’s anything here that’s chargeable. Uh, thank you for speaking with me. I’ll just head back to the station and write up the incident report, sir. Thank you. Good night. [sighs] They’re letting her off the hook. Thanks, Sissy. It’s always great having you at my back. I am glad this went your way. But, Dani, I think you should talk to somebody. Somebody professional, not in this family, objective. So I can have all my business smeared across social media? I can recommend somebody discreet. This whole family thinks I’m around the bend. You want to go at me, too, Teddy? Maybe suggest a facelift? Dani, stop. We love who you are. Strong, happy, authentic. We just want to see the real you again. Take a look at that. Oh, little Ashley is perfect.

She weighs seven pounds.

She’s a healthy one. You’re gonna follow that little girl’s entire childhood through her charts, aren’t you? I feel a real connection to her. I can’t explain it. And actually, Shanice, I was thinking, I’m still completely wired, so if you want me to put in another couple of hours, I could answer phones, I could stock supplies. Babe, you’ve already worked a full shift.

I know, but I’m on such a…

Uh, let me talk to you for a second, please. WOMAN [over P.A.]: Nurse to Pediatrics… Ashley, what you are going through now is the product of the adrenaline rush and hormones going through your body. It feels like a high, I know. Some shrinks call it a peak experience, but it’ll throw you off, and I want you to go home. Even if I’m not tired? You’re not tired now, but you will crash, and I don’t want it to happen on your shift. Fine, I will go home, I will get some rest… and I will be ready to report for a more normal day tomorrow. You’re planning on getting here early so you can see the baby before we release her, aren’t you? I don’t want to miss seeing her one more time. You ready to head out?

Yeah.

Thanks. Rest up. We’re gonna work you your next shift. You got it. Shanice is right. You need sleep. Mmm. Well, then you better come back to my place and tuck me in.

Oh. [chuckles]

[chuckles] You catch that hack trying to ambush Grandfather and Aunt Dani? The journalist? Yeah, he was good. He was stealth. He stuck around to get the real story. More like stuck around to get some dirt. If it was me, I wouldn’t have wasted time bantering about privilege. I would have gone straight to whether or not Vernon actually golfs with the police chief, figure out how close his ties to the cops really are. But you already know the answers to those questions because you’re family. Are you reminding me of that? It just seems like you’re enjoying our family woes just a little bit too much. I feel awful for what you guys are going through. Then what? I miss covering the news. Longing for the days gone by? Being there when a story broke was exciting. Now you have a new excitement– raising our teenagers. If you aren’t the picture of hypocrisy. I beg your pardon? Hmm. Takes a lot of stones to make a big speech about how your family always takes responsibility right before using all of your pull to make sure Dani suffers no actual consequences. You lost, Bill. Get over it. Must feel great being an ever-winning Dupree. Gaslighting the entire country into thinking you’re some living saint, when really you’re nothing more than another ruthless D.C. operator. I hope you and your new wife got what you were looking for by making this scene. Now you and Dani are even. But who’s counting, right? Enough is enough, Bill. It’s time for you to declare a ceasefire with Dani so we can all just move on. [laughs] Never thought I’d see Vernon Dupree coming to me hat in hand. This isn’t a request. I’m telling you, this tit for tat needs to end. Oh, on that much we can agree. In fact, I can say the same thing to Dani. Now, where the hell did she disappear to? [R&B music playing] Thank you. [clears throat] [Dani laughing] Why do you always have something to say? They had too much rosemary on the chicken.

I don’t mind rosemary.

I don’t mind it.

It’s just too much…

What did you want, chicken hot wings? Ah, whatever. [both laugh] [sighs] Boy, boy, boy. Why does it seem so empty in here all of a sudden, you know? I mean, it’s been years since Naomi lived here, and Chelsea’s always off somewhere modeling. Maybe it’s because you just walked your firstborn down the aisle and gave her away. [chuckles] Yeah, well…

Bill.

Hmm? What did you do? What? Why are you always so suspicious? Because I have good reason to be.

Don’t start, Dani.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. There was something in that giving Naomi away.

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[gasps]

You are outrageous.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I thought, when the reverend didn’t say “Who gives this woman,” he forgot. You asked him to leave it out, didn’t you? I merely suggested that it’s barbaric for us to stand before witnesses and state that we’re prepared to hand over this beautiful, brilliant woman that we raised. That’s all.

So you built yourself a loophole.

So? Funny how you didn’t find it barbaric when my daddy was handing me over to you. Seeing Naomi take those vows, it just hit me, you know? You were younger than she is when we got married. Mm-hmm. Then I… …started thinking about all the demands I made of you. Wanting you to turn your back on modeling, focus on me and my career, and raising the girls on top of that. Man, I’ll tell you what. If Jacob were to ask Naomi for half the things I asked of you, they’d never find that boy’s body. Because in Bill Hamilton’s plan for his progeny, Naomi is to become president, followed immediately by her appointment to the Supreme Court. Yeah, you’re damn right.

She’s got that kind of promise.

She does. Yeah. You had that, too. You did. I’m sorry I was so dismissive of your dreams and accomplishments, baby. Those are my daughters, too.

Yeah.

And I wouldn’t take back one minute of being home with them. What about the rest of it, huh? All the other ways your sacrifices benefited me. Man, the first year of my practice, my client roster outmatched the top firms in D.C. It was you.

And my father.

No, baby, that was you. You made sure I was taken care of and seen in those spaces and known and applauded. And you tolerated things. All right, we said we weren’t gonna go there today. I know. I know. I just… Seeing Naomi today, it made me realize our little girls are all grown up. And you’re still Dani Dupree. You could walk away from me right now and still have a bigger and better life than the one that I’ve given you. Who are you, and what have you done with my husband? Bill… what fun would my life be if you weren’t in it? Well, let me pay you back. Okay? I promise this next chapter will be worth every runway you walked away from, every magazine cover you didn’t grace, and every spotlight that you let dim because you chose to be with us instead. You gave up a world that adored you to be with a family that needed you. And I’ll spend the rest of my life proving to you that that’s the best decision you ever made, baby. Bill, if I could spend a lifetime with you looking at me like this… …like I am the only person who would ever or could ever be more essential to your happiness… I’d do it again and again. Even if I let you down? Baby, I let you down, too. The love was always there. Yeah. So… …do you promise to give me forever… again? I do. Do you? Beyond forever is how long I promise to love you, Dani. I promise. Cuz, you’ve got to give yourself a break. You didn’t do anything wrong. Except stream my mom in full-on crazy. You were just live streaming a family event like the good little influencer you are. What is wrong with me, Kat? Why didn’t I just shut the thing off when things went south? Because there was a gun. Maybe you got distracted. Listen… I shouldn’t have been so hard on you earlier. Anybody in your shoes would have been totally frozen. I’m ready to unplug everything,

be social media-free.

Hold up. With everything we’ve got going on, that’s taking it way too far. That’s all you care about? When you’re not down on yourself, you care about it, too. We’ve gone all out on this, Chels. You didn’t spend all those years building your brand just to tank it. Aunt Dani would tell you the same thing. Even if I get her arrested? That’s not gonna happen. But, yeah, even then. Because she doesn’t blame you for what happened. So stop blaming yourself. You know how I always have that little insecure voice in my head? I’m not sure how little it is. All through nursing school, it was there. “Am I smart enough? Am I capable enough? Can I actually hold other people’s lives in my hands?” But after tonight it’s gone, like, like it actually turned off. That’s great, babe. Never doubted you. I don’t know why you doubt you. You are my one-man pep squad. You got me here, you know that? You’ve got a lot of support, sweetie. True. You, my mom… …and good friends like Naomi and Andre. Oh, my God. I can’t believe I’m still wearing my wedding dress. Well, I’d be happy to help you out of it. Mm, I got into it. I’m sure I can get out of it alone. Oh, come on, babe. You got to give me a little credit, right? I mean, it was an unforgettable wedding day. Some might call it an adventure. Hmm. Fantasies about my wedding day? Nope. None involved getting shot at and crashing a press conference. I thought you wanted to go with me tonight, that you didn’t want to be alone? And I wasn’t. You made sure I was surrounded by Duprees. And we finally closed the chapter on Dani. That woman is a drama queen.

I just…

Oh, I know, I know. Ugh! She needs constant attention, I swear. But you know what? She’s not getting that from me anymore. You know why? Because from this moment on, it is all about you.

Oh.

Mmm. Mm-hmm. [“Teach Me” by Elijah Jamal featuring Audiomoe playing] I got your message when I was in my car. You told me to let myself in. I hate to disappoint you, but if you’re wanting to go out… Oh… I don’t. Baby, class is in sessionI’m ready for the lessonThen, ooh, I can’t waitYou’ve got all my attentionYeah, and I’m here to listenDo whatever you say.[groans] I better split. Before we even…? If we even, neither one of us will get any sleep, and I got an early shift tomorrow.

Stop it, sexy.

You know you can’t resist me. Nope. But don’t you want me to be awake enough to remember every delicious moment?

Oh, I’m sorry.

That settles it. Sleep. And next time I’m in this apartment, we will go all night long.

Mmm…

Mm-hmm. [yawns] You sure? That is just mean.

Okay, fine.

Love you. Love you, too. Missing out. Hey. I thought you were gonna meet me in bed. Yeah, I thought I would join you in the shower until I heard your phone on speaker while talking to Mike. Right, that was, um, that was about the wrongful death suit. The-the judge, he… Yeah. Okay, look, let me make it up to you. How? Nothing’s gone the way that I’ve planned. Well, I mean, we did manage to get married. That counts, doesn’t it?

It’s everything.

Yeah. And you said you have a wedding surprise for me. I’m dying to know what that is. Look, I… I’m all surprised out. I’m not a fighter like you, Bill. I can’t just jump in the ring one minute and then shake it off the next. I’m a nervous wreck. This is about Dani? Before the press conference, you said none of it mattered. Well, maybe having a gun drawn on me by your deranged ex has sunk in. Baby, Dani’s not a factor in our lives anymore. Yeah, for you maybe, but she’s living rent-free in my head now, and until I can shake this out… can you just be patient with me? Okay. What does that mean exactly? I don’t know. Slow, I guess. Bill, I need to take this slow. All right. Come here. Come on.

Where are we going?

To our beginning. Come on. Here. Okay. Okay, and now we hold hands. Come on. And what is this gonna prove? This is the hand I gave you today, and this is the hand you gave me. Hmm. And then you get lucky. I’m already lucky. Hey. You’re mine, Mrs. Hamilton. Can’t get luckier than that. Can I get you anything? You already got me more than I need for the moment. You’re that easy to please, huh? Maybe. Or maybe I want to know what made you text me tonight. You told me I was a one-night stand. Can’t a woman change her mind? Of course. Can a woman tell me why? What if I told you I nearly blew away my ex at his wedding? Oh, okay. Are-are you serious? Well, don’t worry. The only thing that got hurt were a few flower arrangements. You’re not lying, are you? Where have you been all day? Under a rock? Yeah, uh, something like that. Well, when you decide to join the rest of the world, there is a viral video of my escapades, in case you don’t want to miss it. So what are you doing? You hiding out? I don’t have to. My daddy solves all my problems. How does getting you off the hook from shooting up a wedding jibe with civil rights? Cops, my friend, cops. Daddy used to fear them. Now they fear Daddy. So, we’re celebrating? Or exorcising demons.

Maybe a bit of both.

Hmm. And nobody was hurt? Not physically. Your takeaway is… Don’t pack heat at weddings. I’m serious, Dani. I know. Listen, I’m glad you called me over… but on the real, I’m just a part of this whole attraction-to-danger thing that you have. You got to get this wild side under control. I know, I know. It is the straight and narrow for me from now on, like a proper Dupree woman. Hmm. Even if it kills me.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

Hey.

Hey. Thanks for meeting me. Of course. What can I do? I don’t know, maybe talk me down? That’s a start. I know. Let’s try not to panic, okay? I’m gonna do everything I can to help you. Okay, here you go. A flat white for the gentleman.

Thank you.

And a vanilla latte for the lady, a double. Someone needs her caffeine. Thank you, Esther. You are the best. Will there be anything else? The pecan pie muffin for my dad? Oh, gosh. Oh, no. I’m sorry, I forgot. We’re all out. Where’s my head? Actually, I know exactly where my head is. It’s worried about Sharon. Why are you worried about Sharon? Well, I called her, left a couple messages. Nothing. And that is so unlike her. Look, I’m sorry that Sharon didn’t get back to you, but there’s nothing to worry about, Esther. She just went out of town. Took a little trip to a spa, you know, just to get her head together. Oh. How nice. Not even leaving a word. Well. I hope she’s enjoying herself.

Thank you.

ESTHER: Mm-hmm. Way to cover. Yeah, I just wanna keep everything on the down low until we figure out what the hell is going on. Morning.

Hey.

Hey, man.

Hey.

Any news about my mom? [Chance sighs] Well, I’m sorry to say, but there’s no trace of Phyllis, or any evidence that might indicate to where she is. Car’s still at the Athletic Club. Um, there’s no record of her hiring a ride share or a car service, nothing like that. You know, if she went to the airport or a train station, she would need a ride, right? Then how did she get out of town? I mean, I guess it’s possible somebody picked her up. But who?

Thanks for coming.

Mm-hmm. Can I offer you anything? No, I’m good. Thank you. So, please tell me that you have talked to your mother. Left more messages, no response. So no one’s heard from her since Summer that one time? Nothing’s changed since yesterday. Speaking of yesterday, you and Nick were apprehensive to tell me that your mother was missing in the first place. We didn’t wanna worry you for no reason. Okay, so you’re saying there’s a reason now? Is that what I hear? Look, just none of this makes any sense, Billy. That my mom would just take off and give Summer one quick call to tell her that she’s on a trip that she’s convinced is gonna better the company? She doesn’t tell her who she’s with, where she is, what she’s doing? Not very Phyllis-like, is it? No. Agreed. I think something’s off about this whole thing. [pages flipping] [Phyllis groans] No! So much for waking up from this nightmare! SHARON: Finally, you’re awake. No snoring. No drooling on my shoulder. I had a good night’s sleep. [Phyllis sighing] Oh, look at this. For someone who thought the coffee was drugged, you sure did a number on it. No alarm clock this morning. Maybe our host wanted us to sleep in. Phyllis… I don’t have time for silliness, silly games. Yeah, you’d rather read, right? No. I’m trying to find some sort of clue, something that may reveal our captor’s identity. We have no idea when this person’s gonna be back. So you’re trying to find it in books. SHARON: Why not? [sighing] You know, any information that we can find and use against our captor, the better position we will be in. Knowledge is power. It may be the only weapon we have. So you think that could be an option? Somebody picked Phyllis up and they just left town? I’m just spitballing here, Chance, but… Summer said Phyllis called and told her that she was going out of town to track some leads for this new company she’s all fired up about. So, maybe she teamed up with someone to go and recruit some new hires and they’re traveling together. So like a business road trip? Yeah, I don’t know. I’m just throwing things out. No, if Mom was actually going to recruit new employees, she would’ve involved Daniel. I mean, she was so excited that they’re working together again. For her to go from harassing him to take this job to just radio silence, it doesn’t make any sense. Yeah, I don’t disagree. Just leaving town, I mean, it’s not like Sharon either. And we just heard from Esther, Sharon never told her that she was leaving town. [cell phone ringing] Oh, this is the precinct. Let me grab this. Detective Chancellor. Hey, everything’s gonna be okay. It has to be. All right, yeah, thanks for letting me know. You got news? Yeah, some. About Sharon. Did they find her in Sedona? There’s no record of her checking into any spas in the entire city. Unfortunately, I agree with what you’re saying, okay? I don’t know why Phyllis would leave town right now without letting anyone know, especially when there’s so much work to be done in town. That’s what’s gnawing on me. Okay, so you got any theories? I got questions. When I was in Paris, she called me about a dozen times. I mean, I called her back out of self-defense. When I did talk to her, she was in a great mood. She was excited about Abbott Communications. Really excited about the launch. And then she disappears out of the blue? She doesn’t get back to me, she’s not even getting communication with her kids? I don’t know why she would do that. So you don’t think this is somehow related to the launch of the company, like Summer said? If this had anything to do with Abbott Communications, she would’ve called you first, not Summer. Summer has nothing to do with the company. And then she goes and tells Summer that it’s a secret? I agree. It doesn’t make sense. You know, there is something else. Okay, it’s probably a good time to tell me that. Sharon is also gone.

Excuse me?

She apparently disappeared right around the same time that my mom did. [chuckles] They hate each other. Okay, they’re not on a girls’ trip, so what is going on here? No, I don’t think they are. How’s this for a coincidence? Apparently she called Nick to tell him that she was fine right around the same time that my mom did the same thing with Summer. That is a hell of a coincidence. And they both used burner phones. Which explains why I couldn’t get a hold of her. Look, this is either a cosmic coincidence that these two women who hate each other just up and vanish and lose their phones or whatever, or something else is going on here. What do you think that is? I mean, you don’t think it’s possible at all that… maybe the two of ’em did leave town together and they just didn’t want anyone to know? PHYLLIS: What do you expect to find? A bookmark with this person’s name on it? Or an old library card, or a poem? If I find something, I’ll know it when I see it. Okay, Sharon… this person, they’re not dumb. They managed to kidnap us and make us disappear from our own life. They’re not gonna have something laying around that reveals their identity. Well, I don’t expect it to just be lying around. But why choose this place if they don’t have some connection to it? Do you need me to connect the dots? Seriously? Because I will. Here’s one dot, the voice knows about your mental issues. I think that we are on the last stop of your Bipolar Express. There’s more to it than that. Isn’t that enough? What if our captor was a doctor here? Or a patient? There could be something in these books that they didn’t expect us to find. Okay, but what if they were? Who cares? I wanna get out of here, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how much of a long shot it is. No stone unturned, no book unopened. Either help or shut up. Um… excuse me? Don’t you think what you’re doing could put us in more jeopardy? I’m not sure that that’s possible. Yeah, it is. Listen to me. Whoever did this, they don’t wanna be found out. Sharon, they’ve already disguised their voice. They said to us that we would die if we didn’t win the game. That’s what they said. Don’t you think that what you’re doing right now could be seen to the voice as some sort of threat? Well, if I find something, we’ll come up with a way to use the information to get us out of here. Sometimes knowledge isn’t power. Sometimes it’s just a bunch of words. Do you have a better idea? As a matter of fact, I do. So you’re telling me that Sharon is not in Sedona? Doesn’t seem to be. They also said there’s no record of her getting on a flight out of town. Her car’s not at the ranch. I assumed she drove. It’s kind of a long haul for some R&R, don’t you think? Why would she tell me she was there and then lie about it? So you wouldn’t go after her. I mean, hasn’t Sharon done that before? She said she was on a business trip in Madison, but really she was in some motel in town. No, that was different. Sharon was drugged. All right? She wasn’t in her right mind. She’s good now. She’s back to her old self. Dad, I’m glad to hear it, but maybe– just throwing it out there– something triggered Sharon and she took off. No, Sharon’s in a good place. Okay. Then maybe she did just go away to clear her head and she lied to you about where she was going so you wouldn’t pop in. Why would I do that? Because you worry, and you would want to check in on her. And if she really wanted some alone time, she might not feel like that was that productive. I’m not buying it. Sharon wouldn’t leave without telling me, and she certainly wouldn’t lie about it. She wouldn’t do this to her children so soon after everything they’d been through in the past few months. Yeah, I’m with Nick on this one. Sharon’s all about being up front with her family. How’s Faith doing with all this? She must be worried sick. She is. She’s really struggling with this. I mean, she was so worried the last time Sharon went missing. You’re the best, Dad. You’re always watching out for the people you care about. [sighing] I can’t protect the people I care about when they go AWOL. Both Sharon and Phyllis are missing. I don’t even know where to begin to look for the answer, but I can tell you this, I’m 99.9% sure it’s not good. Okay. I’m all ears. What is this brilliant idea of yours? All right, instead of sticking your nose in a bunch of books and coming up with nothing… you bargain. We’ve already talked about this. You cannot negotiate with someone who has all the power. Mmm. Sure you can. [chuckles] There’s a price for everything. We are the moms to Nick Newman’s children. Victor Newman’s grandchildren. They’re deep pockets, as you know. Right? The maniac states a price, and then we pay it. You really think whoever’s doing this is in it for the money? Yeah, everyone has a price, Sharon. Everyone has a price. And they’ll just name it, and then we’ll pay it. I mean, listen, sticking us in a room together cannot be the reward. That doesn’t make any sense. Well, whatever this is, it makes sense to whoever is behind it. That’s why I’m hoping that we can figure out what that is. We don’t need to figure it out! We don’t need to figure out what is in this crazy person’s head. I wanna get out of here, Sharon. I’m–I’m ready. I’m ready to offer just a pile of cash to do it. I’m telling you, this is not about money. This is about proving something. “Proving something.” Okay, so now you’re just interested in being a criminal profiler. Well, I do have a degree in psychology, and I did used to work with the Genoa City Police Department. I know, Sharon. You never let anyone forget it. Just because you’ve been on both sides of the padded wall doesn’t make you an expert. Well, it doesn’t take an expert to realize that this isn’t a textbook kidnapper who’s just in it for the personal profit. Or in it for making up stupid riddles and rhymes that suck, by the way. Have you not been paying attention? Those riddles are about us. This is someone who is forcing us to face our confrontations of the past. What, they have some perverse pleasure in seeing us go at it and making more trouble for us? Or it’s someone who wants us to learn from our mistakes. That’s never gonna happen. Think about it. Clearly this is someone with a lot of knowledge about our history who’s willing to go to a lot of trouble to force us to face our past, which means… this is someone who knows us. It’s someone who hates how much we hate each other. Maybe it’s someone who’s been affected by our conflicts in the past. What are you saying, like a friend or a family member? I think it’s almost impossible to believe that Sharon and Phyllis would take off together without letting anyone know. Look, Mom has been known to play things close to her vest in the past when she really wanted something. Of course, it was never anything good. What could she possibly want from taking off with Sharon to God knows where? If I didn’t know any better, I’d say it was some kind of revenge tactic, you know, for everything that Sharon did to our family after Heather’s death. But Mom said she got past all that, and I believe her. She said the same thing to me, and I believe her as well. I mean, she’s excited about this company moving forward. It’s been all positive. And I mean, look, Phyllis and Sharon, they’ve had their battles, okay? But it sounds like Phyllis is ready to make that a memory, or at least stuff it in a box. [sighing] Which is great, but, I mean, it still doesn’t explain what’s going on here. Look, if this isn’t a revenge tactic, then what is it, okay? I mean, are they making amends? Do you honestly see Phyllis hugging it out with Sharon to move on? [scoffs] No. Not in a million years. Okay, well, I think that we need to look at another possibility, then. Like what? That Sharon and Phyllis were taken together. You think they were kidnapped? Who would kidnap them, and why? What would the objective be? It’s definitely not money because there’s no ransom, though. And what person in their right mind would put Phyllis and Sharon in a room together? It would definitely be someone who never read The Ransom or Red Chief. What is that story again? It’s the two kidnappers. They take the spoiled little rich kid, and he drives them nuts and– Oh, yeah, and then they pay the dad to take them back?

Yes.

Is that what it is?

Yes.

Okay, well, good Lord. I mean, whoever kidnapped and locked Phyllis and Sharon in the same room, I would imagine they would be begging us to take them back right about now. I’m just gonna say that the coincidences are real there, and I don’t want to admit it, but I think this kidnapping thing actually has legs. Okay, well, Ian and Jordan were the only two people that were crazy enough to try and pull something like this off, and they’re both dead. [phone ringing] It’s Summer. Hey, have you heard from Mom? No, I was hoping you might have. No, Billy hasn’t either. I’m with him now. I’m with my dad and Chance at Crimson Lights. Can you come meet us? Do you have an update? I think you’re gonna want to hear what Chance has to say. Yeah, I’ll come right now. What is it? Chance has been looking into this for us. He sounds like he may have found something. Okay, look, I’m just gonna say it, okay? Phyllis and I are in business together, and I got a lot riding in this, so I hope you don’t mind, but I’m coming with you. Yeah, come on, let’s go. I’m not accusing anyone, okay? But is it so far out of the realm of possibility that someone related to us is behind this? And when you say us, you really mean me. That’s not what I said. Yeah, that’s what you meant. I’m sorry, but are you suggesting that possibly Daniel or Summer could be responsible for this? Oh, or maybe you think I’m in on it, which would be insane, because last thing I would want is to be locked into a room with you. Okay, well, maybe you’re not a part of it, but the idea of Daniel and/or Summer being behind this kind of makes sense in a twisted sort of way. Um, you’re kidding me, right? No, you know what? They have watched us go at each other for years, and the last few months have been horrible. You have been attacking me relentlessly. You tried to prove that I was guilty. Because you are guilty. Sharon, you’re guilty. You’re guilty for trying to frame my son for killing Heather. That will never change. [Phyllis sighing] And I have done and said everything I can to apologize. I’ll be doing so for the rest of my life. It doesn’t matter. I don’t care. I really don’t care. You should be locked up in a cell and paying for what you did, for what you put my son through, period. Maybe that’s just it. See, maybe your kids know that you are never going to let this go. You are never going to stop seeking vengeance, and this is their way of getting you to save yourself by locking us in a room together until we’ve worked things out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t need saving. That’s what you do. You do that. You act like the damsel. You have Nick on speed dial for that. Wow. You have so much anger. Oh, stop it! Stop it! Don’t– don’t shrink me. I’m offended that you would accuse my kids of doing something like this. What– you know what? What about your kids, huh? What about yours? Hmm, wow. I mean, Faith saw you attack my family relentlessly for months. She watched what you put Lucy through, how you wrecked Lucy by putting her father through that. Maybe Faith is trying to teach you a lesson. Um, there is no way that Faith could or would pull this off. Whoever is behind this has resources, enough to get us kidnapped and locked up in this room rigged with games that they’re forcing us to play. Okay, not Faith. What about Mariah? She hasn’t always been an angel. She would never do anything this over the top. Well, since we’re throwing names out there, how about this one? Maybe it’s Nick.

Nick?

Mm-hmm, Nick. Nick, maybe he’s tired of our fighting. I’m sure he’s tired of your “woe is me” victim thing. And he’s always getting mad at me for something, even though everything I have done has been in self-defense. Are you listening to yourself? Do you hear yourself? Yes, I do. Maybe it’s Nick. Maybe Nick wants us to finally work things out. I hate to pry or pull the dad card, but how are things with you and Chance? Still sketchy? Um, well, I haven’t been able to completely get over how he treated Daniel during the murder investigation. Oh, yeah, when he was doing his job? I– I get that. Nobody is more committed to their job than Chance is, and I have always admired that about him. Until Daniel got caught in the crosshairs. I just wanted support. You know, I wanted somebody to put their arm around me and tell me that it was all gonna be okay, that there was no way that my brother was capable of murder, but instead, Chance felt like the enemy. You said you recently had dinner together. Yeah. We did. It was nice. I mean, clearly we’re perfectly civil with each other. But? I just don’t know if I’m there yet. And I don’t know if I ever will be. But he has gone out of his way to try to find Mom, and it means a lot. [Nick sighing] Summer, he’s a good cop. It’s what he does. And I do get the sense he’s going the extra mile for you. I just hope he puts all those detective skills to work to actually find her. That she could be in danger. She could be hurt. We’re not gonna think like that. All right? This is Phyllis Summers we’re talking about. She’s one of the toughest people I’ve ever met. Trust me. She’s gonna come firing back into town with a hell of a story for us. And I’m trying to believe that I really am, but I just keep on thinking about Heather. Why are you doing that? Because we all told Daniel not to worry. We told him that she was okay, that we would find her, that he was reading too much into everything, and look at what happened there. Wow. Given everything that’s happened, I can see how it’s hard not to go there. I mean, didn’t you just put the odds on something bad happening at 99.9%? I did. But we’re gonna stay positive. Okay? And not just for our own sanity, but for your mother’s sake and for Sharon’s. They need that same energy. Yeah. You’re right. It’s gonna be okay. It is. Hey, sorry about that. Had to call in some reinforcements. I appreciate that. Yeah. We’ll bring your mom home, I promise you that. Thank you. Hey, you okay? Uh, Chance, Summer said you may heard something. Uh… Look, Billy, I, um… I’m Phyllis’s business partner, okay? I’m gonna be here. I figured it’s time to start looping him in on this. Okay. Well, we’ve located your mom’s car. It’s at the athletic club garage, so wherever she went, she didn’t drive. There’s no record of a car service or a ride share either. Okay. Did you find out anything about Sharon? Well, she told Nick that she went to a spa in Sedona. There’s no indication that she actually went there. No record of her checking into any spas in the entire area. But I’m digging into that one a little bit more. Okay, so what I’m hearing is a little more information, but we’re right back where we started, which is we have no idea what’s going on. Unfortunately. Daniel and I were talking earlier, and we’re wondering if potentially Phyllis and Sharon are together. You really think that’s what happened? What if it’s not by choice, Nick? It is ludicrous to even suggest that Nick might be behind this. No, he cares too much about the both of us. Mmm. I know he hates seeing us fight. Yeah, he does. He does, and there’s nothing he would love more than for us to find a way to get along. But kidnapping us, terrorizing us, I mean, there’s no way that he would want us to be afraid for our lives, and especially not– PHYLLIS: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that? Go ahead and say it. Especially not you? That’s what you’re gonna say, right? I mean, he’d have no problem scaring the hell out of me, but not you.

PHYLLIS: Right?

This is not a competition about who Nick cares more about. You’re so delusional. You think you’ve already won. Would you stop it? There is no way that Nick is behind this. Right. So we’re gonna go back to accusing my kids. Well, Daniel’s been known to go to some dark places, and Summer has proven on more than one occasion that she’s a lot like you. Oh, oh, so now I’m capable of kidnapping. That’s what you’re saying? Well, we all know that you have no boundaries, not when it comes to getting what you want. Not that long ago, you faked your own death, and you let your children mourn. And then you enlisted Summer to be your faithful little sidekick so you could see where I might get the idea that your child and or you might be behind this. Oh, my God, that’s it! That’s it! You wanna fight? You want the gloves to come off? You got it. I am not the reason we’re here. Not me. Not my kids. You. This is probably one fellow patient from one of your nut house stays that did this.

Oh, that is ridiculous!

Oh, no, no, no. It is true, Sharon. I can see it now. I can see it now. Talking to a fellow patient incessantly. “I didn’t do anything wrong. It’s Phyllis.” Big bad Phyllis made you do this. Let me tell you, it’s no one else that you should be pointing the finger at except you! I didn’t mean to start a fight. You did! Okay, well, I went too far! All right? I’m just trying to brainstorm and think of every possibility– I don’t care! You are constantly tearing my family apart! Okay, well, I shouldn’t have. You shouldn’t have, no. But that’s what you do. And then you cry and you beg for forgiveness. Please! I didn’t mean to do it! And everybody feels bad for you and they let you off the hook! I am so tired of it! Guess what? I don’t let you off the hook, ever. I know. Hey, we cannot let this turn into a war. We might be playing right into this person’s hands. Think about it. This could be exactly what they want, is you and I at each other’s throats. So, which is it? Which do you think it is? Do they want us to finally get along? Or do they want us to kill each other? I gotta know! Please tell me! Please tell me! I’m at the end of my rope! Is that the goal? Is that we just keep on fighting until there’s just one of us that ends up alive? Because I am ready to make that happen! You really think it’s possible that Phyllis and Sharon were kidnapped? I get it. It’s extreme, right? But there’s a whole hell of a lot of coincidence going on right now for us to not see what’s potentially right in front of our face. Who the hell would take both of them? That’s the point that I made. Exactly. You know, with Jordan and Ian both being dead, the list of people that would go after those two women is non-existent. I mean, the tally of our mom’s enemies isn’t exactly short, but I can’t think of anybody crazy enough to try to pull off an abduction. Why would Sharon be involved? Was it just the wrong place at the wrong time? Maybe it was arbitrary. Maybe they ran into each other and were randomly abducted. Usually when that’s the case, it’s followed by some sort of ransom demand, which hasn’t happened. Dad, you were there when Mariah was suggesting that maybe Mom kidnapped Sharon to punish her. I mean, obviously that sounded ridiculous, but could it be possible? Or flip side, maybe Sharon kidnapped Mom. Do we need to consider that the only two people involved in all of this are Mom and Sharon? Hello, hello, hello, hello! Damn it! You know what? It doesn’t help for you to get all worked up. Don’t tell me what to do.

Please.

I’m just trying to help. You know what would help me? You know what would help me? If you never, ever said another word to me, like, like, like ever. Well, unfortunately, we do need to work together. Then stop trying to purposely piss me off. At least now I know that you wouldn’t actually commit murder to get out of here. Uh, I don’t know anymore. I don’t know. I don’t know what I am or am not capable of. I don’t know. I know that I hate being in a room with a woman I absolutely despise. I do know that. I don’t know the end game. What is the end game to this nut job exercise? I don’t… All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you doing? I’m gonna break the window. I’m gonna break the window. And then I’m gonna scream as loud as I can and tell someone here it’s me. No, Phyllis. Give me that. Stop it. Let go. If you do that, you’re gonna get us both killed. There she is. Just who I’m looking for. Can I get a refill, please? Oh, sure, Nick. Um, listen. Have you been able to reach my boss yet? I have a very important appointment, and Sharon promised to cover the rest of my shift. I’m gonna have my coffee grounds read. The man is brilliant. He’s in such demand. And the wait list is months long, and if I miss this appointment, then who knows when I’m gonna get another chance. Well, Esther, you certainly can’t miss something that important. We’ll make sure you get there. Have you checked with any of the other employees? See if they can cover for you? Oh, that is a very good idea. Okay. Okay. Maybe we can get the guy who reads the coffee grounds to figure out where Sharon and Phyllis are. I take it Esther doesn’t know that Sharon’s missing? We’re trying to keep it quiet. Um… Truth is, we don’t know what happened to Sharon and Phyllis, so I would appreciate it if you’d keep that between us. Let me get this. What do you got? Supergirl. Remember, positive energy. The more time that passes, the more worried I get. All right, we got Sharon’s car. It’s at Cassidy First. It wasn’t in her normal spot, so they just noticed it. Now, give me the phone numbers that Sharon and Phyllis called from. Maybe I can use them to get a general location on the burner phones when the calls were made. Really? Is that possible? It’s kind of a long shot, but maybe I’ll get lucky. Yeah, I’m gonna text you that number right now.

All right.

You know, Chance, this is starting to sound more and more like an official investigation. It’s what I was just thinking. Are you still thinking we shouldn’t assume the worst? I’m trying to fight that instinct. This makes it a lot harder to do that. PHYLLIS: Give me the chair, Sharon. Give it to me. How are you even gonna get through that metal grate and break the glass? I’ve got this. Give me the chair. I mean it. What does breaking the glass get you? This place is obviously abandoned. We don’t know that for sure. We have looked, Phyllis. There’s no one out there. We have no idea where we are. There’s nobody here! Just because we haven’t seen someone doesn’t mean there’s not someone up there listening. Is that some kind of Zen Koan? Please give me the chair. I have to do something. I have to break the glass. Please give me the chair!

Give it to me!

All right, fine. Break the glass. It’s only the middle of winter. We will freeze to death. Okay. [Phyllis sighing] Look, I’m sorry for accusing Daniel and Summer. I know what great and fabulous people they are. Look, whoever is behind this, it’s someone who knows us and needs us. Yeah. We’re back to square one. Oh, my God. We’re stuck in here, and we don’t know a way out. Is that what you want? You son of a bitch? Are you entertained? MODULATED VOICE: I’m not here to be entertained. That’s not the point. Well, what is? What do you want from us? MODULATED VOICE: The game. It’s all that matters. I hope you’re rested. It’s time to continue. What is worth everything but costs nothing?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[gentle music]

Come home soon, my love. I miss you so. [knocking] [clears throat] Come in.

Dr. Evans, your next appointment just called and canceled.

Roz? I hope everything’s all right.

Oh, yeah. She, um–she just said it was something about childcare.

Oh, yes. Well, I understand that. Please make sure we find the time for her this week.

Of course. You have the next hour free. Would you like me to pick you up something for lunch?

Uh, no. No, think I’ll just go to the cafeteria. Thanks. 2

OK. Well, if you change your mind, let me know.

I will. Oh, Cat. You never told me how things went with you and Chad. [solemn music]

No, you can tell the people at Basic Black that goodwill is only going to get them so far. Yeah, if they want a full-page advertorial on their new collection, then it’s going to cost them. No, tell them exactly what I said.

[clears throat]

Sorry, Leo. I didn’t see you there.

No, you were too busy going all William Randolph Hearst on your staff.

Can I help you with something?

Very much so. First off, I wanted to thank you again for hiring me back at “The Spectator,” as a legitimate reporter this time. Your faith in me means the world.

Why does it feel like you’re buttering me up?

[laughs] I can’t get anything past you, Chadwick. I need your approval on a story I’m working on that is going to make our next issue fly off the newsstands.

Oh, I can’t wait to hear the pitch.

Mm, you say that now, but this might hit a little close to home. [mellow music]

Hey.

Hey, yourself.

Mm. It’s been a while. Haven’t seen you since, uh–

Since you dumped me to go be with Stephanie?

6

Oh, hello, you.

Hey.

Here to have lunch with your mom?

I’m here for business, actually. I’m helping to raise awareness about the hospital’s financial situation. So I just came to drop off the presentation deck so that my mom could help court more donors.

Well, we are definitely lucky to have your expertise. I can’t even believe that the hospital shutting down is a possibility. 7

I know, I know. I mean, I get that everything is about money at the end of the day.

Yeah, but this is–this is so much more than a business. I mean, what about the patients, or all of the people that work here who are going to lose their jobs?

Don’t tell me you’re already looking for a new gig. We need you to be here and stay positive for everyone else.

No. No, no, no. I’m not job-hunting. I mean, I’m– I’m one of the lucky ones. Xander said that, um, he would, uh, “take care of me” if the hospital goes under.

Oh. Somehow I doubt you liked the sound of that.

Don’t even get me started. As if I went to eight years of medical school to be a kept woman.

[laughs] Well, I’m sure he meant well. He just–he didn’t want you to worry about money.

Yeah, yeah. It’s one of the advantages to being married to a CEO. Or should I say co-CEO.

Speaking of, how has Xander been getting along with Philip since you decided not to tell him that Victor’s letter was a forgery? [pensive music]

I come bearing great news, bro. Our CFO confirms we have the cash reserves for a major acquisition.

Great.

[sighs] Wow. Your excitement is palpable. Come on, this is fantastic. We’re one step closer to taking over DiMera.

I’m afraid it might not matter unless we get answers.

About?

Why Victor’s letter named you as his heir.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

I thought that you were– I thought you were fine with keeping the secret about the forgery. Did you change your mind?

No, no. Philip and I aren’t together anymore. His lying and scheming aren’t my problem.

OK. So what is this about?

[exhales]

I guess I’m still pissed that he made Belle and me complicit in his fraud. I’m mad at him, not you.

Um, does that mean that you still won’t say anything?

[sighs] Philip’s done enough damage. It would–it would blow up too many lives if I did, to say nothing of your marriage. How would Xander feel if he found out that you knew that he was conned out of half his birthright?

You’re reading Dad’s letter again. Why?

Clarity, I suppose. Why did he tell you he wanted you to run the company, but then never bothered to change his will?

Come on. Are we really dredging this up again? I thought we were in a good place, or at least a better one.

I’m not jockeying for power. Don’t worry. I’ve made peace with the fact that this is what our father wanted. It’s just if we’re successful in acquiring DiMera, there could be regulatory hurdles. We might have to explain why we chose to share power. And to do that, we need to get inside Victor’s headspace.

Regulatory hurdles? That’s a long way away, don’t you think?

I wouldn’t be so sure. I have a feeling that our plans are about to gain some major traction.

Why is that?

Well, I have a special guest visiting us today. One that could be instrumental in our efforts to take everything the DiMeras hold dear.

“Children of the Phoenix– Fall of Haus DiMera”?

Intriguing title, no? I originally went with “Demigods, Dalliances, and DiMeras,” but the alliteration failed to convey the proper gravitas.

Leo, this isn’t a first pitch. It’s a–it’s a first draft on a hit piece about my family.

A hit piece? After what they did to Jeremy Strong, I would never. Think of it as an in-depth exposé on the DiMeras.

You want to know what? You want to write a book, be my guest. But this–this isn’t relevant to my paper.

It’s extremely relevant, and timely. My source at the Salem PD says that EJ and Kristen are both up to their necks in Ava’s kidnapping.

OK, then one of– one of our court reporters will cover it if it goes to trial.

Please! The former DA and the CEO of a multinational company both facing federal charges? You don’t bury that story next to coupons for canned goods. That is a splashy, multifaceted feature that practically writes itself.

OK, well, if it writes itself, what the hell do I need you for?

I said practically. And I didn’t even get to the part yet about Rachel’s disappearance, or Kristen’s kooky mother hiding out in that gothic mansion. [inhales sharply] Chadwick, we print this story and you can bet every hair on that perfectly coiffed head of yours that “Dateline” is going to option this. We are talking a full-length episode, a companion podcast. I could promote this on “Maddow.”

OK, just–just stop.

You’re killing it, aren’t you?

No. No, I’ll publish it. On the front page. [dramatic music]

So it was really cool that, you know, Chad and I were able to get on the same page with everything. The fancy gala, it just felt wrong for this type of fundraiser.

Well, as much as I enjoy getting all dressed up and sipping champagne, I think I agree. Yeah, galas are expensive. And we want every dime to go right to the hospital.

Precisely. That is what Chad totally understood, and he said that we could do another brainstorming session this afternoon. And he has agreed to put the full weight of “The Spectator” behind spreading the word, so it’s amazing.

Mm. Heartwarming to see everybody come together this way, willing to help the hospital. But I think we do have to acknowledge our limits.

Well, what do you mean? 22

I don’t want to make you uncomfortable by having you and Chad work so closely together. Especially after you’ve, you know, told him how you feel.

Oh. Thank you, Dr. Evans. I really appreciate that. But I–I realized I’m over Chad. And I told him as much, so it’s all good.

Oh, OK. So wait, were you lying to him or to yourself?

23

You’re going to print my story?

Yeah, that’s what I said, isn’t it?

This is fantastic!

Hey, look, listen to me. If you think this is going to be a ticket just to get back into screenwriting, forget it, OK? You’re a journalist now, which means you need to adhere to the standards of this newspaper. Do you understand me?

Yes, of course. What are they? 24

Fact-checking, triple-sourcing, vetting every single statement that is made in this thing, all right? I don’t want you to forget that my brother is a lawyer, and he is not afraid of litigation.

OK, I will steer clear of anything libelous.

Good. I want you to run it by legal. And I have one more condition.

What’s that?

Rachel Black, my niece. She’s a minor. Leave her out of it. Are we clear?

Crystal. Thank you for trusting my instincts, Chadwick.

You’re welcome. Don’t make me regret it.

Don’t leave me in suspense. Who’s this special guest of yours?

Well, I’ve been thinking more about that conversation we had the other day.

Care to be more specific?

About which DiMera board members we could sway to join our side.

But we determined the DiMeras and Peter could never be flipped. So that’d just leave…

Me. [tense music]

27

I hate lying to Xander, but it is for the greater good.

You do keep saying that. Do you really believe that, though?

Yes. Yes, I do. Look, I love my husband more than anything, but Xander is the personification of “absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Sounds like Philip, too.

Oh, yes. Both of Victor’s sons got that ruthless trait from him. But if they are forced to share Titan and play nice, it’ll curb each other’s most reckless impulses.

If they don’t kill each other first.

But that’s the thing. They’re actually acting like brothers. Xander even asked Philip to move back into the mansion.

He did?

OK, yes, so it was to make it seem like they were a united front. But still, everything is working out the way I’d hoped.

That’s great, Sarah. I just hope nothing happens to change that, for your sake and mine. Things are going really well with Alex. I doubt that he would be too happy to know that I kept quiet about all this.

So then we’re in agreement. For the greater good. 30

Yeah, for the greater good. [mellow music]

Look, Joy, about what you said earlier.

Just forget about it.

No. You’re absolutely right. I acted like a total jackass, and… I’m sorry. I handled that entire situation in the worst way possible, and you didn’t deserve that.

It was just a fling. I’ll get over it. [laughs]

You’re giving me a lot more grace than I deserve. Thank you. You’ve barely touched your food.

Yeah. Yeah, I don’t really, um– don’t really have much of an appetite lately. I think I’m just a little stressed figuring out my next move now that “Body and Soul” is no longer an option.

Mm. 32

Did you hear they recast our roles?

What? No, actually, I didn’t.

Well, we didn’t really give him much of a choice.

[laughs] True. But I mean, it’s going to be weird watching some new guy play Arrow.

Yeah. Yeah, tell me about it. They asked me to move with them to LA, but I kept them waiting for too long, and the show must go on. 33

I guess so. Well, there will be other roles.

In Salem?

Eh.

Doubtful.

Yeah.

I’m not even really sure acting is my next step anyways, so… But I digress. You should go. You don’t want to keep Stephanie waiting too long.

[laughs] How would you even know–

I saw them put two sets of utensils in your bag. 34

Good eye. Take care of yourself, Joy.

You too.

[door clicks close] I guess I shouldn’t be wasting any food now that I’m unemployed. [jazzy music]

Oh, God. Ugh! [tense music]

Ah, delicious. [chuckles]

That’s is vintage pu-erh tea. I understand it’s your favorite.

Indeed it is.

Well, I had Henderson prepare it for you especially. The least you deserve after your long flight from Hong Kong.

Well, the Titan jet made the trip much more comfortable, as well as the luxury car service you sent to pick me up from your family airfield.

We aim to please.

You are aware I could have arranged my own travel. So clearly, you want something.

Well, that is the nature of business, I’m afraid. But as for the travel arrangements, we just needed as few people as possible to know that you were visiting us in Salem today.

Well, let’s stop this cloak and dagger routine. Why go through all this trouble to have an audience with me? 37

My brother and I have a proposition for you.

Hmm.

[knocking on door] – * It’s me *

* Come in *

* Mm, I come bearing food *

Ooh, you read my mind.

I figured my hard-working, beautiful girlfriend could use a little burger break. 38

Mm, I could kiss you.

Ah.

In fact, I will.

Ah. Mm.

Mm.

Mm. [smooching]

[chuckles] Yes!

Dig in.

Mm.

[sighs] So… [clears throat] Full transparency. I ran into Joy at the pub. 39

Oh. Oh, and the chowder made it home and wasn’t dumped on your head?

Yeah. Yeah, it was a little awkward at first, but I just apologized, and she got some things off her chest, and we got to an OK place.

Really?

Yeah. She even wished us well. 40

[exhales] That’s a relief.

Yeah.

I was still feeling bad about the way that all of that went down.

Me too. You know, in the end, Joy and I weren’t really all that serious, but– [sighs] She just wants to put it behind her, which means we should too.

Sounds like a plan. [soft music]

Joy. You feeling all right?

I’m, uh–no, I’m not feeling so great.

Nausea?

Yeah. Yeah, I wasn’t very hungry and then I had one bite of my lunch and I, uh–well, I–

Oh, OK. Well, um, how long has your appetite been off?

Um, a few days. You don’t think this has anything to do with me getting poisoned, do you?

Oh, gosh. Uh, well, given how long ago that was, I sincerely doubt it. But you know, let’s get you an exam room because there’s a stomach flu going around, so it could probably be that or–

Morning sickness? Could I be pregnant? – Wow. Guest you managed to fill that time slot after all.

Only asking as a colleague.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, a colleague who also happens to be a world-renowned psychiatrist. I really don’t know why I thought I was going to be able to pull one over on you.

I don’t either.

[laughs] 44

So you do have feelings for Chad?

Yes, but it doesn’t matter. It’s–nothing can ever come of it, right? And it’s so much better that Chad doesn’t know. Because that way, it doesn’t get in the way of us planning the fundraiser. [phone rings]

Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve got to take this. Do you mind?

Oh, no, of course. 45

Shane, thank you so much for checking in. Do you have anything on John’s information, and his whereabouts that– what do you mean? I don’t understand. What is happening here? OK, OK. OK. Just let me know as soon as you hear anything, please. Please. [soft dramatic music]

Dr. Evans, I did not mean to eavesdrop, but is everything OK?

No, everything is not OK. My husband is missing.

[sighs] I just sent my draft off to legal, and I have no doubt they will deem my story is fit to print.

Let’s hope. [curious music] Is there something else, Leo?

Actually, I have some other story ideas I would love to run past you.

Great. It’s going to have to wait. Cat Greene’s coming over. We have a meeting that I need to prep.

Cat Greene? Why would you be taking a meeting with the woman who pretended to be your dead wife?

Missing? What do you mean?

John… John is missing in action. [sighs] Most people that are close to us are aware… that John does undercover work, but he has gone radio silent for a very long time. I reached out and got special permission to talk to him.

But that didn’t happen?

No. It seems that even his handler has lost contact with him, which means either he– he has gone rogue, which he is wont to do, or that– or that something terrible has happened to him. [somber music]

Well, um, pregnancy could be a possibility.

I’m late, but that’s not uncommon for me. I was really trying not to think about it, but after I got sick today, I…

Um, when was the last time that you were sexually active?

A month ago, when I was still with Alex Kiriakis. I’m sure he and his new girlfriend would be thrilled if I’m knocked up.

Hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves, all right? Let’s just, uh, find out if you really are pregnant, OK? Come on.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Mm.

Mm. So in addition to my awkward run-in with Joy, I got some more upsetting news. [scoffs] “Body and Soul” recast my role.

[sighs] I’m sorry. Does this mean that you’re regretting your decision not to follow the show to LA?

No. Absolutely not. I think that whole acting thing was, like, some weird detour for me. Besides, I have a hard enough time staying away from you and I live across the hall. How the hell would I manage across the country?

[laughs] Well, why do you still seem bummed about this? 53

Mm, I don’t know. I think now I’m just finally realizing that now that I don’t have the show to fall back on, it’s just driving home how… directionless I am right now.

Directionless?

I just need to find my purpose again. Or at the very least, a job.

Well, I know of one place you could look for one. 54

Yeah? Are you hiring an assistant? Because I can make this food delivery happen every single day.

[laughs] No, that’s not what I meant.

Oh.

What do you think about going back to Titan? [tense music]

What if I told you that Titan Industries is interested in acquiring DiMera Enterprises?

Then I would tell you, you wasted your time, not to mention an egregious amount of jet fuel. DiMera is not for sale.

No, but with enough shareholders on our side, we could gain majority control.

[scoffs] A hostile takeover? The family will not side with you. At a minimum, you would need my vote, which I assure you, you will not get. Have a good day, gentlemen.

Wait, Mr. Shin, please. [clears throat] What if we give you a position of power in the new regime? Look, DiMera is in a crisis, thanks to Kristen. Your CEO is a sociopath.

So was your father, but he was good for the bottom line.

But can you say the same for Kristen? Or EJ and Tony’s recent stints as head of the company? I–I mean, if they had delivered, we’d be having a different conversation. But time and time again, they’ve proven themselves liabilities to you and the other shareholders. I mean, I can barely keep track of all their scandals.

Kristen was just accused of kidnapping a woman. Plus there’s the rumors of EJ’s involvement.

Did you fly me all this way to deal with idle gossip?

It’s more than gossip. What’s going to happen to the share price if the CEO is tried and convicted, and the only other family member waiting in the wings is also implicated?

What makes you believe that Titan would be any less chaotic? It’s not even clear which of you Victor truly wanted to be his successor.

That’s true, isn’t it? His will and the letter he left, they completely contradict each other. It doesn’t make any sense. But when faced with that fact, Philip and I put aside our differences for the good of the company and its shareholders. Can you really say that Stefano’s heirs would be capable of doing the same? So Mr. Shin, are you in or are you out?

It’s the not knowing that’s the worst part, isn’t it?

Yes, it is. [soft dramatic music]

You know, when I didn’t know if my mom was alive or dead…

It was agony. It was like a constant barrage of just worst-case scenarios consuming my every thought. But I did find my mom. And if a miracle can happen for us, why can’t it happen for you and John?

We have faced and survived greater odds than this. But I guess there is a time when… people’s luck just runs out, even John’s. I don’t know what I will do if anything happens to him. [breathes deeply] Whew. Sorry for being unprofessional.

Unprofessional? We talk about my love life on a regular basis. I would hardly call our relationship a professional one. [chuckles] And you’ve been there for me through some of the worst of my moments. If you think for a second that I’m not going to return the favor, then you don’t know me at all, Dr. Evans. [gentle music]

Look, not that it’s any of your business, but Cat and I, we’re working together on a fundraiser to save the hospital.

Aw. So she’s gone from grifter to philanthropist?

I’m sorry, what’s that saying about the grifters that live in glass houses?

Fair enough. I just don’t want this woman hurting you again. Are we sure we can trust her?

[laughs] OK, look, I appreciate your concern. But, uh–but you know what? We’re just doing our best to get past everything, OK? Well, she was being manipulated by Clyde, Leo.

I get that. But a decent person wouldn’t then plant roots here in Salem, and they certainly wouldn’t play party planner with the guy they conned into marrying.

The marriage was annulled.

Because she was lying about her identity!

OK, you know what? She doesn’t have feelings for me, OK? 65

Why do you not seem thrilled about that?

What are you talking about, not seem thrilled? I’m–I’m relieved, OK? Cat and I, we could never work. OK, you know what? Just stop. [stammers] She doesn’t have feelings for me. And this–that– it’s strictly professional.

If you say so, Chadwick. [shudders]

I must say, you put forth a very tantalizing offer.

I fear there’s a but coming.

I’m a firm believer in honesty. I’ve been on the board of DiMera since Stefano himself ran the company, and I’m not comfortable about going behind his daughter’s back this way.

Well, business is rarely comfortable.

And your loyalty is not being returned in kind. EJ sat on evidence that could have brought your son’s killer to justice for months.

To say nothing of the way Gabi treated him before that, and how Kristen protected her.

Gabi broke Li’s heart into a million pieces. I often wonder if he’d still be alive if he hadn’t had the misfortune of being involved with her.

If you ask me, the DiMeras have been taking your loyalty for granted.

And just to be clear, Mr. Shin, regarding our proposal– while my brother and I would remain co-CEOs of the combined enterprise, you and you alone, sir, would oversee the DiMera holdings.

I would need my position guaranteed in writing.

Is that a yes?

I’m in.

This is fantastic news, Mr. Shin.

I need to pitch this to my associates. And if we want to keep this secret, I should do this in person.

Our driver will take you to the airstrip right now. The jet should be refueled by now.

I’ll get back to you. I must say, I’m impressed.

Phil, you knocked that out of the park.

You were pretty damn awe- inspiring yourself there, Xan.

I know that. But seriously, we couldn’t have made that happen without you. Maybe we make a good team after all.

I should get back to the office.

What for? Let’s celebrate.

You go on ahead. There’s a whole new set of numbers to crunch now. Our CFO’s head is going to spin.

Well, don’t work too hard. [soft music]

This is what you wanted all along, isn’t it? Your two sons bringing out the best in each other. The DiMeras won’t know what hit them.

Titan?

Uh-huh. You liked working there last year. You were happy, weren’t you?

Hmm. Yeah. [phone beeps]

Oh.

That work?

Mm. Yeah, my mom’s having trouble editing the deck I made. 72

Oh, no. Can you just talk her through it?

Uh, no. Trust me, it’ll be quicker if I just do it myself.

OK.

But we’ll talk more about this later.

Yeah.

And think about it. Maybe your passion has always been with the family business.

Yeah. Thank you. 73

Yeah.

[sighs] Tell Mom I said hi.

I will.

So what happens now?

Well, my nurse is bringing down your sample.

God, please let it come back negative. The last thing I need right now is a baby.

Let’s just– let’s try to stay calm until we know what you’re dealing with, OK? Just remember that you have options. You are in charge of what happens to you and your body. Never forget that.

Yeah. Thank you. I’m–I’m just–I’m scared.

I understand. I’m here for you, OK? No matter what the test says.

[knocking]

Hey, there you are. 75

Sorry. I, um–I got caught up with Dr. Evans. That’s why I’m late.

Is everything OK?

Um, no. No, it’s not OK. I don’t want to speak out of turn, but I know that you and Dr. Evans are close friends.

Yeah, more than friends. She’s family. Especially after– after her being there for me and my kids after we lost Abby.

OK, well, um, you may need to return the favor.

What’s wrong?

Dr. Evans just got really bad news about her– about her husband. [soft dramatic music]

Roman. [water sloshing, bell clanging]

It’s Marlena.

Yes.

Oh, Doc, it’s– it’s you. Oh, my God, it’s you. Oh, my–oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I can’t count the number of times our love has brought us back together. I hope we get to have it again. 78

Report back the second Mr. Shin is wheels down in Hong Kong. We need to time everything just right. Keep me posted. Alex, long time no see. I’m afraid your father isn’t home yet.

Well, that’s OK. I actually came by to see you.

Hmm.

I want to come back to Titan. [curious music] 79

Cookie?

What?

They’re supposed to be a peace offering for my CFO. But you look like you could use one.

Oh. Thank you, Philip, but I’m– I’m not hungry.

Look, I know I’m not your favorite person because of how things ended with Chloe. But I’ve known you since you were a kid, so if you need to talk or you need anything, I’m here.

Um, there is one thing that you could do for me.

Name it.

Are you hiring at Titan?

Hi, this is Dr. Kiriakis. I was wondering if you could do a personal favor for me and put a rush on a blood test for a patient of mine. Thank you so much. Yeah, it was just dropped off. A pregnancy test. Patient name: Wesley, Joy. [tense music]

Joy?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I said get away from her. Mr. Morgan, there’s been a misunderstanding. Jason — Let’s go! Now. No, no, you don’t have to do this. Please stop. Stop, Jason. You don’t have to do this. Please stop! Hey, Jason! Hey! Yo. You’re back. Thanks. Sorry. I meant to get you the horseshoe nails earlier. No worries. No worries. Thanks for saving me a trip. You still doing Cody’s job for him, Gio? Hey. Sorry to make you wait. No. Hey. No worries. Uh, you sounded so stressed over the phone. Is everything okay with the kids? Oh, everything’s fine. I just… I have something I need to discuss with you, and I thought it best to do it in person. Oh, it couldn’t wait till I got home? I mean, I was on my way when you called. What is going on? Hey, Nina. Willow. Hey, Carly. Uh, I don’t want to be rude, but Willow needed to speak with me about something, so could you give us a second? Oh. Actually, I invited Carly to join us. I have something to tell both of you, and I wanted you to hear it at the same time. Before I reflexively dial 911, can you just tell us why we’re here? And side note — if this is about a Scorpio girls spa weekend, I am so down. Me, too. Oh, uh, that does sound very nice. Uh, no, what I have in mind is a little bit more constructive. It was worth a shot. Uh, what’s your idea? I think you should give Emma an internship at Deception. [ Laughs ] Everything okay? Oh, yes. [ Chuckles ] You just caught me going through my work e-mails. I had to make sure there was no issues at the symposium in Miami. And it looks like everything is going according to plan. [ Breathing heavily ] What is it? What truth, Brad? The reason I’m here. I only got to come on this trip because… because I made Portia invite me. Define “made.” No, Spinelli. It wasn’t a bust at all. First you got us in and out of Valentin’s without being detected, and second, we got an actual lead. Martin definitely has info on Valentin, and I’m gonna find out what it — You know, I’m gonna call you back.

Hey, Cody’s my friend. I’m happy to help. See? Now, that is a friend. Oh, gosh. You guys want a cold beer? I got a couple that I managed to hide from Tracy back here. Thanks, but I’m gonna make sure all the gates and fences are locked up for the night. See you guys later. Yeah, you make sure you bill him for all this work you’re doing, huh? [ Chuckles ] I like that kid. Yeah, of course you do. He does half your job. [ Laughs ] I like him because he’s perceptive. Mm. You got something bugging you, man. He made himself scarce so you could talk about it. So, start talking. What’s up? Uh, you know, um… people use this word, “closure.”

Mm-hmm.

You know? Well, I got closure today with Sam’s death. And it’s not helping me at all. Yeah, we were just wrapping up. Maybe we can all have dinner together? Oh, um, I wish I could, but, um… I’m actually meeting Maxie for dinner at the Surf Lodge. Um, I was just… coming back to grab my heavy coat. It’s freezing outside. Well, don’t leave on my account. Oh, no. I’ll, um — I’ll hang out with you guys next time. Okay. I’ll be back later. Uh, Lulu. Um, I’m sorry. I don’t want to hold you up, but I… I do want to apologize for failing to realize just how sick Cyrus really was. I don’t blame you for Cyrus’s actions. Not at all. Thank you. Enjoy your dinner. You, too.

Oh, baby sister. I’m so sorry. Jason, whatever you’re about to do, please don’t. Trouble in paradise? What can I get you, Tracy? The truth. If something’s going on with Jason or your baby, I think it concerns me and the family. And by the way, Jason can be unreliable, but the family is not. Oh, my God. Tracy, make up your mind! One minute you’re reminding me of my place as staff. And now you’re all about the next generation of Quartermaines and legacy? That’s because when I found out you were pregnant, I had no idea you were carrying a Quartermaine. That, my friend, changes everything. I’m pretty sure neither one of you are gonna be too happy to hear what I have to say, but here it is. The kids and I are moving in with Drew. Wow. Okay, um… I’m gonna ask you to reconsider. We’ve been able to keep things stable for the kids so Michael can focus on his recovery. But if you do this and you take Michael’s children and you move in with Drew, that’s pushing Michael too far, and he won’t stand for it. I’m gonna have to politely decline this offer. I didn’t actually make an offer. Right. So what looks good? But can you tell me why you are not interested in an internship at Deception? I’m not not interested. It’s just not something I’ve ever thought about. Start thinking about it. Yeah. So formulating cosmetics is mostly chemistry, isn’t it, Maxie? Chemistry? Mm-hmm. Yep. That’s a huge part of it. But I’m not gonna hire you as a favor. I’m sorry, I won’t. There are hundreds of students who would kill to work at Deception, and it’s got to be something that you want. I did a favor for Dr. Robinson, and she was inclined to do one for me. Are we talking about the kind of favors that you used to do for Britt? Like changing test results or stealing an embryo? No, no, no. Nothing like that, I-I swear. And I didn’t even really do anything. I found out something Dr. Robinson wanted to keep private, so I agreed to just keep it to myself. No big deal. What on earth are you sorry for? Well, for starters, chasing your daughter out into the cold. Oh, don’t be silly, Martin. Come on now. She said she had dinner plans with her friend Maxie. They do have a lot to catch up on. Yeah, I can only imagine. Nonetheless, it’s blatantly obvious she don’t want anything to do with me. And, you know, given my connection to both Cyrus and Valentin, I can’t say that I blame her. Okay, she may feel that way right now, but she’s fundamentally a very fair person. You just give her a little bit of time, you know? And I think she’s going to see you the same way I see you. You have no idea how lucky I am to have you as a sister. Martin. I’m lucky to have you for a brother, too. Although, I wish Cyrus Renault and I had never crossed paths. But I am really grateful that I found you. [ Cellphone rings ] Oh, excuse me. Huh. My assistant. Darcy, hi. It’s so late. What’s up? The United States Congress? Uh, right, the Appropriations Committee. I see. Okay, then. Well, put ’em through. You could focus on any one of the many Quartermaines wandering around this place, but you choose me. Why? You don’t even like me. That’s ridiculous. Of course I do. I, uh…I appreciate you, and for the record, Jason is proving, uh, much more valuable of late. Then focus on Jason. All I want is to have this baby and be left alone. Oh, sorry. There are far too many people invested in that baby. In fact, if you disappeared tomorrow, the family would track you down. Is that a threat? Ha! No, it’s a reality check. The thought of you raising a baby on your own without any familial interference is a dream. Wake up. Oh, I-I have to go. I’m really — I’m very sorry. Emma, I will see you at home. Oh, and just for the record, I police the city, not you. This is a very good idea. Please think about it. Thank you, Maxie. Love you. Love you. I know this was her idea, but don’t go against it just because of that. It could be a great opportunity for you. I’ll definitely think about it. Okay. I could use some private time alone with my beautiful husband. Oh, I like the sound of that. [ Laughs ] [ Cellphone rings ] Mm. Mm, no! Excuse me. I gotta take this. [ Sighs ] It’s the mayor. Mm. Hey, Laura. What’s up? Hey, Curtis. I hope I’m not interrupting. Uh, it’s fine. Is everything okay? Uh, well, I was wondering if you could maybe stop by my apartment. There’s been sort of a big development. When I found out about this…thing, I went straight to Portia. No, Brad, stop. I — Stop, Brad! Just stop! I don’t want to hear another word about whatever it is that you are using to blackmail our co-chief of staff, ever! But it’s not blackmail. All I asked for was his trip to Miami! You are using something as leverage to get what you wanted from Portia! That is the very definition of blackmail, and the fact that you can’t even see that is why this is a giant mistake. Oh, come on. You’re too smart to kill me. Especially since you’ve become a suspect in another murder. What happens next depends on you. Good. What do you want me to do? I want the truth. And you have one chance to give it to me. Did you blow up Sonny’s penthouse? I did not blow up Mr. Corinthos’ residence. So the answer is no.

Here’s another truth. What happened in Africa was unique. You and Anne Devane infiltrated my camp under false pretenses. You were holding a friend captive. Who also infiltrated my camp. The lines were blurred. But now I’m here in Port Charles, setting up a legitimate business. There are laws and systems in place, and I intend to obey them. As for that other matter, why would I start a conflict between me and Mr. Corinthos and you? Why? You wouldn’t be the first person to come to Port Charles thinking they could take Sonny down. I have no reason to do that. And you returned my diamonds to me. So I have no problem with you, Mr. Morgan. You want to keep it that way? You stay away from Sasha. Anna: Mr. Morgan. Oh, Mr. Sidwell. It’s quite chilly, isn’t it, for an evening stroll? Sasha, you’re smarter than Willow. So why don’t you use that intelligence to figure out what’s best for you and your baby? Then figure out what part of that can coexist with the life that you’re already a part of. Not like Willow, who’s living in some world of her own fantastical creation. Carly, I’m telling you that the kids and I are moving in with Drew because I didn’t want you to be blindsided. I’m not asking for permission. Okay. But just to be clear, you’re not blindsiding me. You’re blindsiding Michael, and he’s the one you should care about. Michael filed for divorce. Did you think that we were going to reconcile or something? Because I can promise you, we are way past that point. I’m not asking you to get back together with Michael. I’m asking you to wait until Michael comes home before you shack up with his uncle, who betrayed him and destroyed his marriage. That’s what I’m asking you to do, Willow. What difference does it make if I move in with Drew now or six months from now? If Michael comes home in a year, will it be okay if I move in with Drew then? So you’re doing this, right? You’re just — You’re just doing this? Michael is fighting to heal and come back home to his kids. But that doesn’t matter to you. You just want to move in with Drew. That is not true, Carly. Willow does have a point. I have tried to be civil with you. But if you do this, you’re starting a war, and that’s on you. There’s not going to be a war. Lucas, please. I did realize that doing what I did to Portia was wrong. That’s why I told you. I didn’t want there to be any secrets between us. I was trying to be honest. Yeah, well, thanks for being honest before this huge mistake went any further. We’re not a mistake. Look, we were getting closer. I know you could feel it, too. I just wanted us to have that closeness again without anything hanging over it. Are you kidding me? Everything is hanging over it. Our history. This. You haven’t changed. And you’re never going to. Portia, I was hoping to see you. I just came to pick up a file. Um, you need an appointment if you have a medical issue. I don’t. Well, if that’s the case, we’re done here. Because I really don’t have anything more to say to you. That’s okay. I’ll do all the talking. You know, however Cyrus departed this Earth, it just doesn’t bring Sam back. It does make it so that me and Rocco and Danny and Scout don’t ever have to look at that bastard’s face ever again. Well, that’s something. That is something. It’s a big something, but it doesn’t make losing Sam any easier. Yeah. I bet it doesn’t make things between you and Lulu any easier either. No. No, it definitely doesn’t. Even though Cyrus was responsible for what happened to Sam. Yeah, but there’s just this, like, tension. This, like, wall between us. Sam did this beautiful thing for Lulu. And then… And — And I know she’s not a part of it, but it’s — Sam’s death, it’s like it’s there, and it’s always going to be there, like this — this thing that’s just hanging between us.

Housekeeping.

Maxie: Lulu? What are you doing? Gio! Wait up! Hey! I thought we were meeting up at the house. Yeah, we were going to. But then I got your text saying that you were down at the stables, so I thought maybe I could meet some horses. Now might not be great. Cody’s talking with Dante. I was just going to leave this outside. It’s okay. I really just want to talk to you about something. Sure. Yeah. What’s going on? My grandmother wants me to intern at Deception. Are you gonna do it? I don’t know. I sort of just feel like it’s her attempt to keep me supervised. Supervised as in out of trouble? You know what kind of makes this really hard is that I feel like Lulu’s trying to help. She sees that I’m grieving and she’s reaching out, and I just — I can’t. Yeah. No, you can’t let her help you because of Sam. Yeah. It’s like everything’s connected. You know? Mm-hmm. I can’t grieve Sam with Lulu. Yeah, but you can’t do it alone. And it’s not much, but hope you know you got me. Thank you. I do, and I appreciate that. Oddly enough, it’s been pretty easy talking to Brook Lynn about all this stuff. You guys have been friends a long time. Mm-hmm. We have. And we’ve been close and — and we have a history, and she knew Sam and she’s not all wrapped up in everything the way Lulu is. I mean, Lulu occupies a very unique position. That she does. And me taking help from Brook Lynn, that — that hurts Lulu. Probably doesn’t make it any easier knowing that your history with Brook Lynn is deeper than Lulu realizes. I never told her about that summer, and I have regretted that always. You mean the summer you were in love with Brook Lynn? What’s going on here? I don’t have time to explain. Can you just go away and forget you ever saw me? Don’t be rude. We both know I can’t and won’t go away until you tell me what’s going on. So whose room is this? Oh, my gosh. Did you meet someone? Is this role play? Ugh, you think that this is my big fantasy? I mean, I don’t judge. This is Martin Grey’s room. He is my uncle. Gross. Remember? Right. So why are you breaking into your uncle’s room? It’s not breaking in if you have a key. It is if you stole the key. It was in my pocket. Maxie, this is about Charlotte. Tell me what I can do to help. Be my lookout. Wait. What?! As unfortunate as it is that Michael isn’t here, in his absence, their mother will decide what’s best for them. And you think Drew is what’s best for them? I think that we need to trust Willow to know what’s best for herself and her family. [ Chuckles ] I’ve already seen what Willow does to family. I can’t believe I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I really thought you were gonna put your kids’ interests first. Boy, did I misjudge you. You are selfish to the core. You and Drew really belong together. You know that? I don’t need to listen to this. Carly, I’m sorry you feel this way. I tried to do the right thing by telling you first. Thank you, Mom, for everything.

How do you think that went? About as well as expected. Commissioner Devane! What a coincidence! Also out for an evening stroll, are we? No. I have you under surveillance. I understand that you paid a visit to the Quartermaines’ tonight. You know, before Mr. Morgan kindly escorted you down here. Oh. Interesting. [ Ship horn blows ] Ah! I hear my launch approaching. So good to see you both. I hope the rest of your evening is, um, pleasant. [ Hands clap ]

What the hell are you thinking? You could have been arrested tonight. He showed up at the Quartermaines’ and approached Sasha. I had to make sure he knows never to mess with her again. Alright. I understand why you’re so protective of Sasha. Do you remember when you told me that men target me for my money? Tracy, I did not mean to imply — They did. Took me a long time to accept it. But I’m an heiress. That’s my reality. You are so much more than that. [ Inhales deeply ] I know. So, my point is that when I accepted that reality…

…the love of my life came after me for my money. And we ended up falling in love. Luke Spencer? Luke Spencer. Why are you telling me this? Because, in my experience, if you realistically know who you are and what you want, the whole world can open up to you in ways you never expected. Jason, this family can offer you more than you ever realized. I’m done. Can you make me a cup of tea? With honey and lemon? My throat is parched from all this yapping. I just gave in to my worst impulses. I slipped. It’s not who I am anymore. I knew that if we could just be alone together that we could get back to us. And I took a chance and made it happen. Because I had to! Because I knew it’d be worth it! I still love you, Lucas. I know this is real. And I know you feel it, too. Of course I feel it. I love you, too. But to us, love means two very different things. Do you think you’re in the halls of Congress right now? Because you’re in General Hospital and I am the Co-Chief of Staff, and you are in my office that I did not invite you into. So if you excuse me, I’m leaving right now. Why the hostility, Portia? You and I have always gotten along. That was before you betrayed my husband, Drew. I didn’t betray Curtis, but, yes, things have gotten a little out of control between us. I still care about him. Mm-hmm. Okay. If you say so. Sure. Nothing’s happened that your help can’t fix. I’m not comfortable with any of this. Your business is between you and Curtis. Now, if you’ll excuse me. No. I’m sorry, Portia. But the only person that can fix things between me and Curtis… is you. Laura: Thanks for stopping by. Hope I didn’t ruin your evening. That depends. What’s this important development? Well, the city of Port Charles has been given approval to move ahead with the McConkey Esplanade project. The original one? Yes! Yes! The original as pitched by Aurora! [ Laughs ] And that is mostly due to you and to Jordan and all the hard work that you guys put into that project. I’m speechless. I know! Um, wow. This is huge for Aurora. And Port Charles. Yes. It is. It really, really is. I-I have one question, though. How did you manage to get around Drew Quartermaine? You do understand that you are still the prime suspect in Cyrus’ murder. And if you decided to help Sidwell off this mortal coil tonight, there were two surveillance officers watching you. Oh, I know. I saw them. I had nothing to do with Cyrus. I know that. Okay. But it just — it wouldn’t help your case with the D.A.’s office if Sidwell’s body was to be found floating in the harbor. I wasn’t gonna kill Sidwell. Okay. I just wanted to ask him if he was responsible for blowing up Sonny’s penthouse. And? He said he didn’t do it. Shocking. So was all this a waste of your time? No. Because I think Sidwell’s telling the truth.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Lulu, this is taking way too long! Could you please hurry up?! [ Knock on door ] Excuse me. [ Exhales sharply ] I think you’ve got the wrong room. [ Exhales sharply ] I don’t need to be “managed.” Sorry. That’s not what I meant. I think you’re just very passionate about stuff. Yeah, was my passion for cosmetics that obvious? No. But your passion for Chemistry kinda is. I’ve seen your class schedule. I know you’re taking Advanced Organic Chem, Physical Chemistry. Crazy smart, Emma. That was sort of my grandmother’s pitch earlier, too. She and Maxie seem to think I could be of some value to the brand. They’re right. What if you patent a revolutionary new face cream? Yeah, Gio, that sounds like something interns do every day. Think about the benefits of working with your family. You may rack up familial credit, which comes in handy when you push the boundaries. Yeah? What, you push any boundaries lately? You’d be surprised. To me, love means trust. I don’t expect my partner to be perfect, but… I need to be able to trust his failures and his flaws, to trust that those failures aren’t ultimately destructive to me or to the relationship. And I know it’s scary. You fear that the person might be upset with you or — or reject you, but in the end, you can’t let your fear outweigh your love for that person, and… And you never did that for me. Are you even hearing yourself? Y-You don’t let me have flaws. I make a mistake, I own up to it, and you still reject me. Well, that’s the risk of it all. All I ever wanted was to be with you. So why would I trust you with the truth when all you do is use it against me? I can’t do this, Brad. You’re right. I can’t trust you. And I punish you. And maybe it’s still all the Wiley stuff, but I can’t allow myself to accept another lie or half-truth. I can’t do it, Brad. Not again. Well, the credit for outmaneuvering Drew goes to one of the greatest masterminds ever. Mm. My Aunt Stella. Oh, my goodness! Tell me everything. Well, as it turns out, she goes way back with a certain high-ranking member who just happens to be on the Appropriations Committee. So you called in a favor. Well, let’s just say I worked a relationship. Y-Yeah. I mean, sure. That’s what we all do. Well, well done! We also managed to avoid unnecessary conflict with Sonny, which is a huge plus. But you know what? Most of all, I am just incredibly proud of you, my friend. Ohh. This is — It’s an amazing accomplishment. Thank you. Yeah. Are you at all concerned about fallout from Drew when he finds out about this? Drew already knows. But everything I do, everything I’ve done is completely above board. But this isn’t — this isn’t about Drew. This is about Port Charles. And I have zero interest in an ongoing battle with Drew. Let’s just hope he can take the “L” and we can all move forward from here. Portia: Let me be clear. Whatever you think that I can do for you in regards to Curtis, the answer is no. And this little interaction right here makes it very clear to me why Curtis wants absolutely nothing to do. I see. And why is that? Well, you don’t respect boundaries, for one. You only care about what you want, no matter who gets hurt in the process. Or, in this case, who’s inconvenienced. Am I… inconveniencing you? You’re giving it your best shot, Drew. I’m not getting involved with anything between you and Curtis. Curtis set limits, and you pushed past them. Curtis came back even harder. And to that, I say bravo. You know, I’m a little surprised, Portia, that you’re judging me so harshly, especially considering… how hard you tried to inconvenience Heather Webber. Maybe you’re right. Chances are, I’ll tell another lie at some point and break your heart again. Maybe it’s better we get out now before we get too close… and the fall is even harder. [ Sighs ] Lucas. You might find someone you can trust, and he’ll give you the perfect honesty at all times. He’ll be totally pure, with no shades of gray or dark edges. But I’ll always love you.

It’s true what they say, that all politics are local. But, you know, I think all politics are also personal. I know it certainly made me understand the value of knowing who my true friends are. I am very lucky to count you as one of them. Likewise. This has certainly shown me a side of Drew that I didn’t know existed. Yeah. I just hope he can stay in his lane. I’ll stay in mine. And there won’t be a need for trouble between us. Drew: Does Curtis know that you tampered with Heather Webber’s test results? ‘Cause that’s pretty dicey stuff. Seems unlikely that you’d stay on as Chief of Staff if that came out. Might even lose your medical license. Hm. [ Stammers ] I have no idea what you’re talking about, Drew. I really don’t.

You logged on to the G.H. database, and you changed the results of this blood test. Were you trying to keep Heather Webber in prison? That sounds unethical, Dr. Robinson. Might even be criminal. You know, Carly, you could have been a little easier on Willow. She’s moving our grandchildren in with Drew. Imagine how I would have reacted if I hadn’t known what was going on with Drew ahead of time. And, besides, I put you in the prime position to be defender and chief supporter. I bit my tongue so hard, it’s bleeding, but I can’t push against their whole “great love,” even the tiniest bit, because that’ll just isolate Willow to Drew even more. Yes, well, you have to keep approving all of Willow’s awful decisions. It doesn’t feel good defending their whole “Drew and me against the world” relationship. Drew is the problem. And no matter how it happens, he has to go. You didn’t think Sidwell was going to just admit to blowing up Sonny’s apartment, do you? He’s not going to tell you. I don’t think he did it. Well, I don’t know. I mean, alright, maybe that’s true. But you and I, we can both agree that this whole law-abiding, legitimate-businessmen act of his is just bull. He showed us who he really is in Africa. Yes, we know a guy like this doesn’t turn legit suddenly, but we don’t even know why he’s here. I’m not gonna wait around till he hurts somebody that I care about. Sidwell is dangerous. Yes! I agree. He’s dangerous. But right now we have something more pressing to deal with. [ Gasps ] Hi.

[ Keypad beeping ]

[ Line ringing ] Jenz Sidwell. It’s Sasha Corbin. Is the offer still on the table? It is. Fine. We have a deal.

Do you ever think about coming clean to Lulu about that summer? Oh, man, I don’t know. I mean… Wow. That was a long time ago. And it was over before it ever really began. And we never even saw each other after that. I went back to Bensonhurst. Brook Lynn went on tour with her mom. Did you want to see her again? [ Sighs ] I don’t know, man. I mean, w-we were kids. It was a summer thing. I mean, it’s not like anything came of that. Yeah, but, I mean… I mean, what if something did come from it? [ Door opens ] [ Chuckles ]

You! I was hoping to find you! I have a bone to pick with you, mister! Mister Grey! Mister Martin Grey! Me? Absolutely. You know, ever since you dumped Lucy, things at Deception have not been the same. I was thinking you guys need to reconnect. Or find some closure. You know, whatever. But the future of our company really depends on it, so why don’t we head to my office and we’ll discuss details? No. Wait. Maxie, just a second. What exactly is going on here?

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

FINN: You’ve spent your entire life wondering who your father is, asking your mom questions and never getting any answers. You don’t have to wonder anymore. You’re serious? My father isn’t actually Tom? -It’s-it’s– -It’s-it’s me. I’m your father. [somber music plays] -Move in with you? -There’s plenty of room. Grandfather’d be thrilled. -Mom, this is crazy. -You know what’s crazy? Finn, putting you in this position. First a mother-in-law from hell, and now a-a deranged stepdaughter too? Mom, he doesn’t have anything to do with that! He’ll want to. You know that. It’ll start slowly, maybe accepting calls from Luna, awkward conversations that will turn more meaningful. Suddenly he’s visiting and the next thing you know, the girl who tried to kill you will be forever enmeshed in your life. Into your children’s lives. What was–what a– what about the children? Mom is urging me to take Kelly and Hayes and move in with the two of you. [heavy music plays] [huffs] You okay? Yeah. Yeah. Why? You just…seem distracted. HOPE: Ha. I’m just… curious. Uh, what did Daphne have to say? [edgy music plays] I wasn’t supposed to fall for you. DAPHNE: Perhaps I overstayed my visit. It’s time for me to go back to Paris. You wanna leave Los Angeles? Maybe it’s best. Maybe you’re right. Au revoir, Carter Walton. [door opens] ZENDE: Just the woman I was looking for. -Got time? -For? The talk about a fragrance specifically designed for Hope for the Future. I’m afraid I don’t. Um…okay. Uh, this afternoon then? I’m really excited. I think this could be a big hit. It’s… I’ll have to wait. Next week. We can video chat. Video chat. I’m leaving town, Zende. [quiet music plays] Wow. Alluring. Mais non? And not just the fragrance, but the woman as well. Don’t you agree, Carter? I mean, Daphne Rose is… irresistible. [uneasy music plays] Why would you and the kids move in with us? What-what’d I just walk in on here? And why are you telling her to leave her husband? Somebody please explain this. Finn discovered he, um… [exhales] he has a grown daughter. You’re my father? No, that doesn’t make any sense. How? I… I know it’s a lot to take in. I was just as shocked as you, but it’s true, Luna. And now we finally know what we should have known all along. I’m your father. [edgy music plays] You’re leaving? -Ready for a change. -[laughs] You can’t leave. We just did the fragrance drop. It was a hit! -I don’t need to be here for it. -Daphne, there’s so much other work to do. If you’re not in Los Angeles, how– I’ve already spoken to Carter. My time here is done. I’m going back to Paris. [quiet music plays] Irresistible? Uh…[laughs] Yeah. Yeah. That’s why we…hired her. She has a certain, uh… quality. Yes, and because of her reputation. She has the finest nose in Paris. [chuckles] Yeah, well, there’s none better. That’s not the only thing she’s known for, though. I mean, she is a woman that… no man can resist. Do you feel that way, Carter? How is this possible? Yeah. I’ve been asking myself the same thing. So Finn hooked up with his aunt. Well, they’re not blood related, but it’s still sick. I mean, Poppy didn’t know much about him growing up. They got close when she moved in, theoretically, to…help around the house. Not exactly what I would call helpful– seducing her young, vulnerable nephew. I’m trying to wrap my head around this. So… Poppy moved in with Li and then made a move…on Finn. Ugh. It’s disgusting. Did-did he know she was pregnant? No, he did, but she lied about it, claiming it was someone else. Or maybe she believed it. I don’t know. It seemed like she had plenty of candidates. It’s odd that Poppy didn’t wanna know who it was. Why wouldn’t she figure it out back then? I don’t know. Maybe in her heart, she knew it was Finn and she just didn’t want the scandal coming out. You’d think Finn would have demanded a test at this point. Yeah, but Finn was only 18. He was naive. I’m sure he took her at her word. Yeah. Now all these years later, he finds out that his deranged cousin is actually his kid. LUNA: This is insane. -I know. -A-and you’re sure? Yeah. I’ve wanted to know who my father was for so long, but Finn, you’re my cousin, you’re not my dad. Yeah, but, um… but, yeah, I am. Really. So…so y-you and my mom… I’m not exactly proud of it, but, uh… Like, it only happened once. It’s something that’s… hard to explain, and… You look horrified. Well, how didn’t you know? I mean, you must have realized -the timing matched– -Look, I went to your mom repeatedly when she got pregnant, okay? I swear. But she insisted that the baby wasn’t mine. -And you believed her. -Yeah. Regrettably. All this time, I never-I never questioned it. Look, this is new for me, too, Luna. We’re both just finding this out. Finding out that… …you’re my daughter. [solemn music plays] Wait, this is really happening? You’re just going back to Paris? -Oui. -But it doesn’t make any sense. It was really nice meeting you, Zende. We’ll still be in touch. Maybe we’ll cross paths again in person–you come to Paris often, no? -[laughs] Yeah, but– -Okay. So…[sighs] I wish you the best, truly, but I really need to finish packing. Hold on a second– you’re leaving like right now? As soon as possible, so if you would excuse me… Stop. Stop! I mean, this just isn’t adding up. Steffy brought you here to do a certain job. This sudden decision to leave for Paris… does it have anything to do with Carter? Look, Hope, there’s, uh… there’s something I need you to know. About what? About Daphne. She’s moving back to Paris. Oh. Well, L.A. isn’t for everyone. No. No, it’s not. But I need to explain why. [punchy music plays] -There’s gotta be some mistake. -I wish that were true. Luna–the girl that killed two men, that drugged you and left you to die– that’s-that’s Finn’s daughter. Finn just found out. Poppy lied to him all these years. He had no idea about this– Luna’s paternity. -She kept it a secret. -She was probably afraid of Li’s wrath. When she finds out– Poppy took advantage. Li is going to lose it. Poppy should have known better. Well, she should have been brave enough to tell the truth, given Finn a chance at being a father, given Luna two parents– two involved parents. Instead, she was raised without Finn, so we all know how that turned out. You know, she probably fought the crazy as long as she could until she turned into the killer she was always meant to be, like her grandmother. So Finn really brought two psychos into your life. See? Now you see why I’m telling Steffy to pack up her things and get outta here. She and the children have to get away from this insanity. Away from Finn. FINN: You must have questions. Only about a zillion. -It was just one night? -Yeah. Your mom moved in for a bit. This is back when my parents were super busy at work and they thought it’d be a good idea to have someone help out around the house. She’s supposed to be your aunt, Finn. Obviously not by blood, but still… I’ve always regretted it. I’ve tried to forget it even happened. I can’t believe she would do that to you, Finn. You were 18. That’s younger than I am now. Actually, why am I surprised? This is exactly what she does. She sees something she wants, and she takes it. Look, I know your mom cares about me. And you said you asked if the baby was yours? And she swore I wasn’t the father. Oh, shocker. You’re telling me that my mom lied. That’s all she knows, just lies and lies and more lies. [exhales] If only she’d told you the truth, how different my life could have been, how different our relationship could have been… if I had known that you were my dad. [heavy music plays] I’m right, aren’t I? I don’t know what you’re talking about. Abruptly leaving Los Angeles. You wanting to go back to Paris. It has something to do with Carter, doesn’t it? CARTER: Hope… I want you to know how much I love you. You’ve been so good to me. You’ve been so… supportive. And I never wanna hurt you or disappoint you. Are you saying you have? I’m saying I wanna be different. I know what you’ve gone through too many times with other men and…and I will say I can do one thing differently. I promise you that I will always… …that I won’t hide anything from you. [whispers] Okay. The reason why Daphne’s going back to Paris… …is because she kissed me. I know. I saw. I saw everything. [intense music plays] Mom, I appreciate your concern, but Finn isn’t to blame. What did Finn do when he first found out about Sheila? He wanted a relationship with her. He argued with you about it for the longest time, wouldn’t listen to you when you tried to explain -how dangerous she was. -Yeah, but then Finn– And now he’s got this daughter. Luna’s just as dangerous as Sheila, if not more so. But you know Finn. He’s gonna wanna have a relationship with her, think that he can play some part in redeeming her, but it won’t work. It’s not gonna happen. It’s only gonna lead to more people getting hurt–or worse. And if you end up… I can’t go through the pain of losing another child. Hey. Your mom is right. Don’t put yourself in that situation. Luna’s a psycho. Yeah, she is. But this isn’t Finn’s fault. I can’t leave him. I won’t. Look, Luna’s not a threat anymore–she’s in prison. She’s gonna be there for the rest of her life. [somber music plays] Well, how do you know for sure? My mom didn’t believe Tom Starr was your dad. -Why? -She had her suspicions for years–she… she thought it was my dad. -What? -Yeah. I know. I was shocked too. She ran paternity tests, and they both came back negative. And when I heard that… I went straight to your mom and I talked to her about that… the one night that we had. It was the first time either one of us had acknowledged it in years. -And she finally admitted… -No. Poppy kept to her story. She insisted once again it wasn’t me. But I couldn’t… I don’t know, I couldn’t shake the feeling I was being lied to. -It’s what she does best. -Well, I ran my own test. Two of ’em, just to be sure, and they both confirmed. That’s when I realized that Poppy had… hid the truth from me all these years that I’m your father. So I went back and I… I confronted her about it, and… and she said that she didn’t know for sure and that she was trying to protect me. Protect you? From me? No, because I was so young, Luna. I was just–I was just starting college and had aspirations to be a doctor, and… I’m sorry. I should have been there for you. ‘Cause I would have raised you. I would have been your father. But we were cheated out of all those years. Your life woulda been different. Yours too, though. Well, maybe, but I mean… I could have balanced school and learned to be a dad. The point is, I wasn’t given that chance to figure that out. I never would have abandoned you. I would have loved you completely. Oh, God. You have no idea. This is all I wished for for my entire life, for my dad to come and say this to me, -to tell me that I was wanted. -Hey, of course you are. This is so crazy, looking at you now, after all these years, the man who helped bring me into the world. My father. [crying] My father.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[Sally sighing] Okay.

What?

BILLY: Nothing. Nothing at all. What is so funny? You’re laughing. I was just gonna say, that pillow right there looked very flat, so that last chop really, really helped it out. You know, it’s nice and fluffy now. Appreciate it.

You’re so funny.

[Billy laughing] You’re so funny. Listen, the place looks perfect. It looks unbelievable in here. I know what an important night this is for you, and I just want to do everything I can

to make sure it goes smoothly.

Okay, thank you. I appreciate that. But let me just say this, if tonight goes south for any reason whatsoever, it won’t be because the pillows aren’t fluffy. You don’t know that. Okay. Thank you, though. I do appreciate it. You’re welcome. [doorbell ringing] Oh, that’s it. They’re here. You ready?

Yeah.

One more. Come in. It’s unlocked. You got this.

NATE: There we go.

LILY: Thank you. Mm-hmm. Good stuff. Thanks.

To Winters.

DEVON: To Winters. Long may we grow and prosper. Yes. And take over the world. Ooh. I’ll cheers to that. No biggie. I can’t believe we finally signed the deal. How long have we been working on that Stackhouse merger? Gosh, I think six months now. Never thought it would happen, but that was before we brought in our closer.

Oh.

NATE: So, here’s to you for getting us across the finish line.

DEVON: Yes.

Aw, thank you, Nate. Very sweet. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You’re the best there is and we’re lucky to have you back where you belong. Aw, well, thanks, guys. It’s really funny how things end up, right? All the hell I went through at Chancellor, and I did end up where I belong. I guess Victor Newman was right.

Damn him.

Well, let’s not go overboard. Uh, so Nate, what is the latest with Amy and Damian? Well, they’re having dinner tonight, which is a good sign. Um, I’m waiting to have that talk with Damian, too. I’m just hoping he’s still planning on sticking around for it. Well, before you go too far down that road, there are some things about him that I have to tell you. I just wanted you to know it means a lot, you agreeing to see me again. Well, the last time there were a lot of things that we didn’t get into. So, I figured it was time for us to– to talk about ’em. Well, I am here and ready to give you all the answers you ask of me. I don’t even know where to begin. Wow, Sally, the place looks amazing.

Thanks.

Hey, come on now. Don’t I get a little credit? I mean, I did approve it all. It does look amazing, Billy. Looks like home. Thank you. That means everything. But, serious, this is, uh, this is all her. She’s the genius here. Well, I don’t know. The Nobel Committee might disagree. That’s only because they don’t give awards for taste. Honestly, I gave her a few recommendations of what I thought would work, and this is what she did with it. So, really, it’s truly amazing. You see, Jack? It’s all about trust. Do you two have trust issues that I don’t know about? DIANE: Oh, no, no, no. It’s nothing as serious as all that. Oh, I would disagree with that.

I’d say it’s very serious.

Jack. We’re without a home right now.

[Diane sighing]

What do you mean? We have temporarily moved into the Athletic Club while our house is being updated. Oh, well, that makes sense. Which was never part of the plan. We are now moved out of the house, as is Kyle and Harrison, and Traci and Alan were pushed out. DIANE: You make it sound so dire. Being forced to live in the lap of luxury while our mansion is refreshed. I am merely informing my brother where he can reach us, since we are no longer in the home that our family has inhabited for, well, generations. Well, thank God it doesn’t bother Billy. Well, I was aware of this, uh, redecoration because Diane reached out and asked for my blessing. Yes, and I really appreciate that, Billy. I do have to be honest, though. I was not aware of the scale of this redecoration. I only realized what it was until I drove by and saw all the construction crews. JACK: Wait. Construction crews? You had Damian investigated? Yeah, that’s right. What would prompt you to do something like that? Well, you know Damian introduced himself to me recently, right? Yeah, so? Okay, well, he seemed very interested in seeing me again. I mean, he wasn’t pushy, but it was definitely there. So, you meet the man and what? Didn’t like his vibe? Well, all that we know about him is from what Amy has told us. Or what my private eye found out when she tracked him down. Yeah, I know, and I wanted to know if there was more to the story. I didn’t want you to be blindsided. Well, I appreciate your concern, Lily, but you taking it upon yourself to dig into my brother’s background was something I never asked you to do or wanted you to do. Nate, I was just trying to protect you. Okay, hey, before we get into this, what did you find out about the guy? Like, is there more to Damian’s story, or? LILY: Oh, yeah. There’s a lot more. I think I’ll trade that in for a tea. Pot of chamomile? Two cups. Thank you. I assume that’s still your favorite. I’m touched that you remember. I don’t want you to make too much out of that, okay? I’m not, Damian. Because you and me, we– we’re a long way from fixing things between us. Damian, I’m just happy that we can share a common memory. That’s all.

No expectations.

DAMIAN: Okay. I just didn’t want you to get the wrong impression. I know, honey, and I just didn’t want you to think I’m looking for a quick fix, either. I know, and I realize this isn’t easy for you, honey, and it isn’t easy for me. It just broke my heart that you thought that I didn’t care about your father when he was dying. Well, I guess you didn’t realize how it came off at the time. At least, to me. I did not, and I am so sorry for that. But I just, you know, I can’t stop thinking about what you said about being, um, afraid, feeling alone. You were very mature for your age, and I think I took advantage of that. Assuming that you can handle more than you can handle. I mean, you were 16 years old. You were a kid. It guts me. I just hope you can understand why I did what I did. Look, I wasn’t taking your feelings into account. Just my own. So, for that, I’m sorry. Thank you so much. I mean, your words… If there’s even a slightest chance that we can mend the hurt between us, I can die a happy woman. JACK: When we first talked about remodeling, you were talking about a couple little tweaks. You know, a coat of paint here or there, maybe a new piece of furniture. No mention of a construction group. It’s really not that big a deal, Jack. It sounds like a pretty big deal. Okay, yes, there are a few trucks there, as needed for the very minor remodeling that’s going on. Which, by the way, is coming along beautifully. I’m almost afraid to stop by and see it for myself. You know, when I was in interior design, I know it seems like a lot, but I was actually really shocked at how many workers it took to just…

Change a light bulb.

Yeah.

So many.

Exactly. So many. I mean, even the small little design things, you know, like electricians and wallpaper hangers, demo crews.

BILLY: Mm.

Demo crews? Um, Sally, I really appreciate you trying to back me up, but you better stop before he has a heart attack. I think you may be too late already. Jack, please, can’t you be a little more like Billy has been with Sally and trust me? You are going to love our home, I promise. And– and if you don’t, then we can just change it back to the old, dated museum that you’re so comfortable with. Deal? I didn’t find it old and dated. Deal? Deal. Congratulations. We can move on from the Abbott house.

What do you say?

Yes, thank you. Okay, so I would, um, like to make a toast, if I could.

Oh, I’m all for that.

Yes, me too. What are we toasting to? Well, first of all, thank you both for being here. It means a lot to us, and to you, thank you for this. Wouldn’t have happened without you. I stand here, and it feels like a turning point in my life in more ways than one. It feels like a new beginning, and, uh, I want to thank you for that. My big brother, for trusting me, and supporting me. And, equally important, for funding my next journey. You know, we’ve had, uh, conflict over the years, but it was never because we didn’t love each other. All I ever wanted was for you to believe in me. And I feel like standing here, I can say that you do and Jack, that means everything to me. So, thank you. Thank you to this next journey, to Abbott Communications, and to my big brother, Jack Abbott, for helping me make it all happen.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers. How come you’re smiling? I just thought of Figaro. Oh, man, I haven’t thought about that cat in a minute. Wow. What a character he was. He was all that. You remember when you brought him home? Yeah, we– we both tried to hide from Dad so we could break the news to him gently that there’d be a new member of the family. Then he got out, and the first thing he did was jump on your dad’s lap. I thought Dad was going to lose it for sure. So did I. But from that moment on, that was his cat. They loved each other so much. For weeks after Dad had passed, we had to bring Figaro’s food into the bedroom because… he just wouldn’t leave. And I sure knew how he felt. God, I miss that man. I know you do, my love. He loved you very much. You were his world. From the moment you two laid eyes on each other, it was just… some unbreakable bond. Did he ever tell you about, um, the day that you were born? Oh, yeah. You– you were having contractions at the house, so he got you in the car and… [Damian whooshing] …drove like hell to the hospital. Then, we got stuck on the highway behind an accident. I thought I was going to deliver you right on the side of the road. Hm. AMY: We got there in time. Your dad was with me through all of it. Not only was he there when you were born, he was the first person that held you. And I will never forget the look on his face as long as I live. It was pure, absolute love. Do you swear he never knew the truth? That he wasn’t my biological father? Never. Honey, why do you ask? I mean, did you… Did you sense otherwise? Not for a second. Well, first of all, Damian lied about his position at Danglers and Monte Cristo. What do you mean he lied? He owns those companies. Hm, that’s obviously what they wanted you to believe. And who’s they? Damian and the person, or I don’t know, people who are above him. They went to great lengths to keep it quiet who the real owner is. And who’s the real owner? It’s a company called Arabesque, and it’s privately owned, and it operates out of Washington, D.C. Okay. I’ve never heard of them before. Well, they clearly don’t spend a lot of money on publicity, but it’s a big operation. I mean, Danglers and Monte Cristo are just two of their divisions. So, Damian actually has no controlling interest in either one of those companies? Uh, no. He’s CEO of both, but he doesn’t own them. So, who does own Arabesque, and why are they being so mysterious about it? I mean, I don’t know the mystery part, but the real owner is a man named Aristotle Dumas. I have heard that name before. What about him? Not much. I don’t think anybody even knows what the guy looks like. LILY: Well, he has his hand in a lot of different operations, and he goes through a lot of trouble to keep it quiet. Okay, so Damian works for the guy. Yeah, and he lied about it, Nate. Which I think screams the question, why? What else is he hiding? I mean, this is a big red flag. Thank you, Billy. Those– those words mean more to me than you know. Well, I meant every word, Jack. I know you did. So, if you’ll allow me, I would like to make a toast myself. Maybe you haven’t always felt it, but I never stopped believing in you. I have always admired your resilience. You have been through more setbacks, more tragic loss, more disappointments than pretty much anyone I know. And somehow, every time you get knocked down, you manage to get right back up and go after whatever it is you’re after with passion and creativity and… old-fashioned Abbott stubbornness. [all chuckling] I am very proud of you. And not just because of this adventure, which I am quite sure is going to be a success, but… because of your capacity to love, to forgive. To Billy Abbott, my brother. Come here, come here.

Thank you.

That was lovely, Jack.

It really was.

DIANE: Yeah. Yeah, after all that, I better not screw this up, huh? It’s not gonna happen. Oh, I agree. You’ve got this. But, I have to ask. Do you really think it’s a good idea to have Phyllis be part of it? Did you ever consider telling him the truth? Many times, honey. The secret weighed on me. I mean, tortured me sometimes. But your father was just so overjoyed at the pregnancy, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. And then when you were born and I saw the connection between you two, it would’ve broken his heart. And you never told Nathan the truth either, I imagine. That would have been like a bomb being dropped in the middle of two families. I needn’t. So, no. I just lived with that secret and carried it along with me. And then I just… ugh, I just hoped that in time, the shame would go away. And then I feared that you and your father would find out one day. But when Nathan died, and as sad as I was about that, it was like a burden was lifted. Because your lie was safe. And I would die with the truth. But then something happened. Something changed within me when I got the cancer diagnosis. Knowing that I was dying, I just didn’t want you to be alone in the world, knowing that you had a family. Yeah, a biological family I’d never met. Had no clue about. Mom, how did you– how did you imagine that would go? Oh, about how it has, honey. With you being angry and hurt. But I just hoped that you would reach out to Nate. It just felt right, Damian. Look, no matter how difficult this has been for me… I don’t regret not one moment. Because I hope that one day, you will forgive me. Even if this happens after I’m gone. Because we have a bond too. It was solid. It was strong. Or did I just imagine that, hm? NATE: His overnight success, it’s a lie? Look, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I just felt like you needed to know. Are you sure this information is accurate? Positive. Then, why didn’t Denise find this when she located him? Because maybe she was focused on just finding him. I mean, this took a lot of digging. It was under a lot of legal paperwork. How’d you find this out? Um, I just, you know, I called in a favor and– To somebody that was the best of the best to look into it. A favor from who? Victor. Damn it, Lily! What, Nate? It’s fine. I do not want that man knowing anything at all about my business. He’s not gonna know anything. How do you figure? Because I didn’t even give him your name. I just said that it was a background check for Winters, and he was happy to oblige with the whole Chancellor runaround. I still don’t like it. Hey, hey, listen. At least we know it’s legit, right? Because Victor’s investigators, they don’t leave any stones unturned. Yes, but does that automatically make this sinister? Maybe there’s some other explanation. Did Damian directly tell you that he owns those two companies? He didn’t deny it. Maybe he thought it made him look more powerful and impressive by letting me believe that. Or maybe he was trying to hide his connection to this Dumas guy. Or maybe he had no choice but to hide it. Aristotle Dumas. LILY: The Count of Monte Cristo again. That’s strange, all right. LILY: Nate, it’s more than strange. I mean, look, every time I’ve met with Damian, I feel like he’s been holding something back. Hang on, hang on a minute. You’ve been meeting with him? How many times? It was just a couple times. I thought the only time you talked to Damian was when I left you two alone at the Athletic Club. Well, we crossed paths a couple times since then. What’s the problem? The problem is I never asked you to get involved in this at all. Who initiated it? Like, did he ask you out? I mean, more or less. I told him that he should forgive his mother and he said that he would meet with her if I agreed to have dinner with him. I did it for you, Nate. You should have told me first, Lily. It wasn’t your place to jump in there and run interference for me. I can handle my own business. I wasn’t trying to handle anything. I was trying to break open this box of lies he’s been telling you since he came to town. That’s not the point.

Isn’t it?

NATE: No, Lily. This is only about Amy and Damian and him making peace with her before she dies. That is it. The rest is irrelevant. And you may have just messed that all up. I’m sorry, how? If Damian finds out you had him investigated or that you only agreed to have dinner with him so you could find out more information, he could get so pissed off, he might leave town without giving Amy a second chance. Did you ever consider that? I won’t deny that you and I were close once. In many ways, as close as you and your father. I had a great childhood. At least, I thought I did, until I saw the way you were when Dad was dying. Honey, I explained that to you. You don’t have to explain it to me again. I believe that you were trying to be strong for the both of us. But back then, I had no idea what you were feeling. I just saw you shutting down. And then something inside me… started to shut off too. I am so sorry, Damian. Me too. It was the worst time of my life. I lost everything when Daddy died. Yeah, we both did. First, we lost him. And then each other. I always thought that, uh… your father and I would, um… grow old and wrinkly together. [Amy and Damian chuckling] Still be best of friends. Going through life, you know, hand in hand. I wasn’t ready to lose him. And I did not handle it very well at all. Hm. Neither did I. Is there still time to repair the damage? Damian, I will do anything. Anything. I’m willing to try. That’s all I needed to hear. Look, Diane, I know you hate Phyllis. I think it’s fair to say the feeling is mutual. I swear to you, this has nothing to do with my personal feelings about Phyllis. You’re the one who has to work with her. Do you really want to have to work with her? I believe Phyllis will be an asset for the company. And let’s not forget that this is her comeback, so she’s going to do everything in her power to make it a success. Hm. Well, let’s just hope this latest redemption tour of hers is more successful than the last hundred or so. Well, we all have our flaws, don’t we, Diane? And what I don’t want to do is spend the evening having to defend my decision. So, what are your plans for the launch? I mean, any idea when you’re going to be starting? Yeah, yeah, excited to say in the next few months. Well, that’s encouraging, huh? Maybe even sooner if I hear back from Phyllis. Where’d she go? Uh, she’s actually following up on a few potential partnerships. Oh, really? You never mentioned that. Who were they? You know Phyllis. You know, she wants to keep it a surprise. A surprise? Did she actually say that to you? No, not directly. Wait, I don’t understand. Uh… Actually, I haven’t been in contact with Phyllis– Just the last day– So, I’m sure she’ll reach out to me soon enough and, uh, she’ll let me know. So, she just took off right in the middle of you trying to launch this thing without telling you where she was going or what she was doing, and now you haven’t been able to reach her? SALLY: Um… Billy, do you mind? I think the food’s done. Will you help me in the kitchen?

Absolutely.

SALLY: Okay. What is with all of the trashing of Phyllis? I haven’t seen my brother this excited about anything in quite some time. Can we let him have this? I’m not trying to spoil anything, Jack. But this isn’t just about Billy being excited. This is an investment. Your investment. And it sounds like it’s going to be derailed because Phyllis is being Phyllis. Billy trusts Phyllis. We have to respect his judgment. Hold on. Did you know that Phyllis was a part of this when you agreed to foot the bill? You’re not eating? I don’t have a big appetite these days. Is it the leukemia? Mm-hmm. And also all the meds I’ve been taking to fight it. It’s just a never-ending battle trying to find that balance and sometimes my body screams, “Enough!”

Hm.

AMY: Mm. Is there anything else you can do for this? Uh, Nate has spoken to his friend who’s an oncologist, so. Yeah, you mentioned that. Yeah. I actually have an appointment with her next week, but, uh, I’m just not holding out on any miracles. Why not? From what I hear, they’re coming up with new treatments and medical trials every day. This could be a positive thing for you. I have seen so many doctors. Second, third, fourth opinions, but I am going to go see this one too.

DAMIAN: Okay.

If for nothing else but to satisfy Nate. He has pushed so hard for this. And honey, I have made peace with God and now with you. That’s all the miracle I need. You and Nate have gotten pretty close, haven’t you? Yeah, unexpectedly under the circumstances. I am so grateful. He’s a good man. So, how well have you gotten to know the rest of Nate’s family? Nate, look, I’m really, really sorry. Okay, I really wasn’t trying to make things difficult for you. I was just trying to help. I know you were. I mean, this whole thing with Damian and Amy, it’s been so strange. And I’ve just seen how much it’s consumed you. Yes, Lily, it’s consumed me. But you’re making that out to be a bad thing and it’s not. Hey, I’ve grown to really care about Amy. I’ve learned things about my family that were a shock, yes. But she’s also given me more insight into a man I lost when I was far too young. And no amount of investigating on your part is going to change the fact that Damian and I are brothers. Good or bad, we’re connected. Right, we all get that, Nate. I really think Lily was just trying to look out for you and make sure you didn’t get hurt, that’s all. Yeah, absolutely. I’m just worried Damian’s going to find out you went behind his back. He’s not going to find out. I’m not going to tell him anything. You involved Victor, Lily. You used him to dig up all this stuff about Damian. You don’t think that can come back to bite us? No, I made it clear to Victor it was a company matter. I didn’t even mention your name. Damian won’t care about that. All he’d know is you were snooping around in his business. That’d be enough for him to take off. Everything Amy and I have been working toward could blow up. I’m asking you to respect the boundaries here. I didn’t ask for your help, and I don’t need it. Are we clear? Yes. Could we discuss Phyllis when we get home? We’re not going to resolve it here. Okay, I’m sorry. I’ll stop. Thank you. Oh, Sally, that looks delicious. Thank you. But first, I would love for you to show me around the rest of the place. I might even get a few more decorating ideas.

Hopefully not too many.

DIANE: Ha. I would love to. Come on. Hey. Um, Diane didn’t mean to come down so hard on Phyllis. Yes, she did. But I don’t really care what she thinks, Jack. I– I care what you think. I mean, I hope you don’t see this as a roadblock. You’re not second-guessing your investment in the company. I am going to trust your instincts. I owe you that much. Appreciate that. But Phyllis going off on her own and not reporting back to you sounds alarmingly familiar.

Yeah, I hear you.

Okay. We both know that she is not very good at following the rules or staying in her lane. All I’m saying is keep your eyes open. Be careful. I haven’t spent much time with Nate’s cousins. Devon and… Lily. Oh, but I absolutely adore his girlfriend, Audra. You’ve met, right? Yeah, she seems nice. Oh, no, honey. She’s been a godsend to me. Well, I’m grateful for that. So, from what you do know about the cousins, Devon and Lily, are they good people? Can they be trusted? Why all of a sudden an interest in his cousins? I’m just curious. Does this mean that you’re serious about getting to know Nate better? I’m definitely thinking about it. I’m sorry. I did not mean to come down on you so hard. No, it’s okay. I get it. I know we may never be able to trust Damian completely, but my only goal in this is to make things right for Amy and not do anything that will scare him off. Yeah, I hear you, Nate. I do. Loud and clear. Nate, even with Victor involved, I really don’t think that Lily’s done anything to mess up the progress that you and Amy have made with Damian. I hope you’re right. I’m also hoping that maybe there’s some kind of explanation for all the mystery. I’d like to at least give my brother the benefit of the doubt. Absolutely. And we would all love for this to work out for you and Amy. That’s a given. So, just tell us what you need and we’ll do it. I need for you to do nothing. No more investigations. No more casual run-ins. Leave it alone. That’s what I want. Just leave it alone. I’ve got this. Are you still mad at me? I wasn’t mad at you. Yes, you were, but you’re right. I should have kept my big mouth shut about Phyllis, but you can already see the trouble. I am as concerned about Phyllis as you are, and I tried to explain that to Billy without coming on too strong. You mean like I did? I don’t want Billy feeling I’m pulling my support. I want this to work. So does he. Look, I want Billy to fly in this new project. DIANE: So do I, Jack. The problem is, flying anywhere with Phyllis is bound to end in a crash landing. [Jack sighing] Well, all in all, it was a pretty successful evening. Yeah. Got a little funky in the middle, didn’t it? I need you to be honest with me. You think that I’m making a mistake With Phyllis, just like Diane believes? [Sally sighing] I do think it’s a problem that Phyllis just disappeared without telling you where she is or what she’s doing. It just shows me exactly what Diane was trying to point out, that Phyllis is just more comfortable working alone without having to answer to anyone, but… that’s a problem only you have the answer to. Every time I called her today and she didn’t answer, every time I left a voicemail, I couldn’t help but think, “This is it, this is done. “I’m not gonna do this.” And then I started thinking… Phyllis isn’t stupid. She knows this is her last chance, so… why is she doing this right now? I mean, it’s Phyllis. It’s what she does. Maybe it’s something else. Like what? That’s just it. [Billy and Sally sighing] I wish I knew where she was so I could just talk to her at least. Are you worried that something happened to her?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[soft dramatic music]

Holly, what are you doing here?

We need to talk… about what happened at the cabin.

Oh.

You said you had feelings for me.

Yeah, I did. But like I also said, I was hoping we could forget all about that.

And like I said, I couldn’t. And then Tate showed up, and we didn’t get to unpack all this.

Do we need to? I mean, I’m not sure if I have anything left to say.

Well, maybe you don’t, but I do.

Tate and I are both really excited that you’re interested in adopting our baby.

Well, we’re really excited as well.

Yes, yes. Very.

So we told Sophia’s mother about you, and she really wants to meet you. So are you free for lunch? I know it’s short notice.

Yeah, you know, as it turns out, we live in a mansion with cooks and servants, so we can handle short notice.

Yeah, and we’re really eager to meet her too.

Um, so there’s just one or two things that you should probably know beforehand.

Okay. Yeah, yeah, we’re– we’re listening.

Uh, so–so, um– do you remember how I told you that Mrs. Choi is searching for a couple with good Christian values?

Yeah.

Oh, I remember.

Well, uh, Sophia might have oversold you guys a little bit.

Oh. Uh, how much is a little bit? [quirky music]

Let’s just say we’re gonna need all the prayers we can get.

Well, I wish I could have been there for your mother’s arraignment, Kristen, but it just didn’t seem wise given the Ava of it all. I hope you’re right that she keeps quiet about all this for Brady and Rachel’s sake. Rafe? Don’t worry about him. Rolf’s serum worked a little too well. Total amnesia. As long as she keeps it to herself, we should be in the clear. [chuckles] Good luck. [phone beeps] [exhales] [chuckles] Oh, I couldn’t have planned this better myself. The police think that Rafe is Arnold pulling some kind of con. Not even Rafe knows he’s himself. [knocks at door] Okay. [clears throat] [suspenseful music]

Paulina.

It’s Mayor Price to you.

[distant sirens wailing]

Gabi, you’re back already.

Yeah, and with the lab report. Thought you’d want to be here when I opened it. [soft tense music] Ready?

Well?

It’s not a match. Whoever I plucked that hair from isn’t related to me. Which means the guy who left you at the altar, the one who helped EJ frame you–

Isn’t Rafe.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

So the man I almost married was some imposter?

I can’t believe that any of this is real. It all sounds completely insane.

But Steph was right. I mean, this all happened before. Rafe was replaced by a double who fooled everyone around him, even his own wife. I–

Oh, God, did he–

No. Whoever that man is, we haven’t shared a bed in months. Not since New Year’s.

Oh, thank God. That’s around the time EJ hired Rafe. The switch must have happened around then, right?

I don’t know. I don’t know what to think. I don’t know. All I know is that if I slow down and really process what’s happened to Rafe, to me, to all of us, I’ll break. And I can’t break. Not yet. Not until we find Rafe.

And bring Arnold Feniger to justice. 11

I mean, I know it makes the most sense that it’s him. But all those DNA results confirm is that the man I almost married is a stranger. It doesn’t prove that it’s Arnold.

But after the way Steph said he treated her, it’s the only thing about this that does make sense, especially since he was working for EJ. [tense music]

If you’re here to see Johnny and Chanel–

Mm, I’m here to see you, EJ. I’ve given a lot of thought to the pitch you made to me on Valentine’s Day to hire you as DA. You made a pretty persuasive argument.

Did I?

Mm. As you pointed out, Jada Hunter championed Belle Black as the new district attorney. But, um, since Jada’s corruption has been exposed–

Belle could be compromised as well. 13

Oh, I believe Belle to be a person of integrity. But the optics here aren’t good.

Does that mean you’re giving me my job back?

No, that doesn’t make a– a lick of sense, does it? I mean, why would I ever appoint a DA whose ass is going straight to prison? [tense music]

A woman’s bible study group? 14

That you lead.

Ah.

But you could just think of it as, uh, exaggerating your resume.

Yeah.

[laughs]

Look, Tate, it– it’s one thing to bend the truth, okay? Chanel and I do go to church, sometimes. But this is a full-on lie.

I know. And I–I get it. So if you wanted to back out now, we would understand. [gentle acoustic music]

What do you think?

I mean, I– I don’t love the idea of lying to Mrs. Choi.

No.

I know. I’m sorry.

But, uh, Johnny and I are ready to be parents, and I’ve looked at how long the wait lists are for adoption and surrogacy. And, well, when you said that you were willing to let us raise your baby, it just– it kind of felt like it was meant to be.

Wait, so you’re– you’re saying–

I’m–I’m saying that I will go along with your story, if Johnny agrees.

I’m in if you are. 17

That’s so awesome. Thank you.

Yes, thank you. Great. Uh, so– so I’ll just tell Mrs. Choi to meet us at your place. Does that still work?

Yeah. Yeah, let’s just, uh– let’s get this over with.

[laughs] Yeah. And that gives us just enough time, if we head home now, so that we can set up and we can get our story straight, huh?

God willing.

[laughs]

Was that too–too soon? [both laugh]

All right.

So I’ve been running through everything we said to each other at the cabin, and I’m just worried I left you with the wrong impression.

How so? 19

Well, you said you want me to forget your feelings towards me, and I said I couldn’t. But that doesn’t mean I share them.

Right.

Like, I’m flattered. Really, Doug, I am. But I have a boyfriend who I love so much.

Well, I’m really sorry that I put you in a weird position and that I made things awkward between us. And look, I totally get it if you think that we can’t be friends anymore.

Doug, stop. We are friends. And I’m not saying I want anything to change, just as long as you know friends is all we can ever be. [somber music]

Your friendship means the world to me. Of course I want to stay friends. Just friends. 21

Good. I’m glad.

And if it helps, I’ve already started to move on. Julie was very adamant about that.

Wait, you told Julie about me?

Don’t worry, don’t worry. Not by name. But even without knowing all the players, she still gives the best advice.

[laughs] Damn. Straight to the point, no filter. 22

Something like that.

Well, it’s nice to see that you and Julie have gotten so close.

Yeah, we have. Which makes me feel even worse about stealing your grandmother’s necklace. Especially because, well, Julie was just here telling me that her brother Steven sent her a letter swearing that he didn’t take it.

Did she believe him? 23

Yeah, she did. And now, she’s thinking about going to the police to find the real culprit, meaning I need to get that necklace back to her ASAP.

Okay. Well, how’s the search going?

Well, Leo was supposed to put me in touch with the guy who’s fencing it, but I haven’t heard back from him.

Have you figured out how you’re going to pay for it yet? 24

I’m hoping maybe he’ll let me pay in installments.

Mm.

I know, I know. It’s not a student loan, but it’s the only plan I have. That’s if this guy ever gets back to Leo.

Okay. Well, why don’t we go find Leo in person and give him a little nudge?

We?

Yes, we. We’re friends, right? 25

Yeah, I hope so.

Good.

But I just– I figured you had better things to do, like hang out with your boyfriend.

Tate has his hands full today. He found a couple that wants to adopt his and Sophia’s baby.

Damn. I was just hoping that I could get lunch with Holly. I was going to surprise her, given how much I’ve been flaking on her lately. 26

Well, I can run interference without you. I know this was my lie, after all.

No. No, this–this is way more important.

But won’t Holly be upset?

No. I mean, it’s not like we had firm plans anyway, and she’s been really amazing about the whole situation.

Must be nice to have someone you can lean on.

You know you do too. You have me. No matter what happens, Sophia, we’re in this together.

Thanks. That means a lot. [laughs] [sentimental music] So I’m–I’m going to go round up my mom, and I’ll see you at the DiMeras’.

Okay.

28

There must be a misunderstanding. My rear isn’t heading anywhere near a jail cell.

Please. You’re named in the highest-profile case in years. Ava Vitali accused you of aiding and abetting Rachel Blake in her kidnapping.

[chuckles] Ava has a long-standing grudge against me. She’ll say anything to get revenge.

Speaking of revenge, what about what you’ve done to Jada Hunter?

I haven’t done anything to her.

Oh, but there’s a theory floating around that you replaced her fiancĂ© with an imposter.

That’s absurd.

Oh, is it? Am I supposed to believe that it was just a coincidence that you hired Fake Rafe to dig up dirt on Jada? And didn’t you, uh, try this scheme once before with Arnold Feniger?

Arnold Feniger is dead, or so I’m told. And even if I had an axe to grind against Jada, it wouldn’t have mattered if there was no therethere. Except there was. Concrete evidence that the former commissioner is just as dirty as the felons she put behind bars.

We’ll see about that.

Yes, we will. And the public will see that your administration has been in absolute freefall since you made the ill-advised decision to cut ties with me, a quantifiably successful DA, for personal reasons.

Personal reasons? Oh, hardly.

You didn’t have to like me. You just had to let me do my job. And instead, you have jeopardized your entire reelection. Mark my words, if Jada Hunter is convicted– and I suspect she will be– you will beg me to come back as your district attorney.

So do you really think that we can pull this off?

Well, that depends. How up are you on your bible verses?

Mm, pretty rusty.

Well, don’t worry about it, okay? Because we are just going to focus as much as we can on the truth, which is that we are good, decent people, Chanel. And this baby is going to grow up surrounded by love. All right? The most important thing is that Mrs. Choi sees that we’re all one big, happy family.

You arrogant son of a bitch! [tense music]

[exhales] I feel like such an idiot. I’m a detective. How did I not realize that my own fiancĂ© was replaced by a different person?

Yeah, how do you think I feel? He’s my brother. I’ve known him my entire life.

Except I kept ignoring all the red flags. Ugh. That Arnold guy kissed me. You’d think that I would notice the difference then. [somber music] Rafe needs our help. We need to find him.

What?

If this has been going on for months, how do we know if Rafe is still alive? I mean, what if–

No. I would know if he were gone, and you would too. Listen to your heart. What is it telling you?

That he’s still out there, somewhere.

And we’re gonna find him together.

Well, that was disappointing.

Is it crazy that I was still holding out hope for the necklace still not to be sold?

No, not crazy at all. And there still is hope. I mean, Leo said he had tracked down who bought it, so– we’re gonna find Julie’s necklace, okay? I promise. [mellow acoustic music]

What’s going on here? [tense music]

You think I’m going to give you your job back? You led a recall petition against me, DiMera, so you can go straight to hell.

Mama, what is going on?

Your father-in-law is thirsty for his old job back. I was kindly explaining I wouldn’t rehire him in a million years.

Well, it didn’t sound very kind to me.

I, myself, have been nothing but cordial.

Yeah, sure you were, Elvis.

Okay, you know what? You guys, we do not have time for this right now. Amy Choi is on her way over here to have lunch with us.

And who is that?

You remember how I told you that we want to adopt Tate and Sophia’s baby? Well, Mrs. Choi is the grandmother of that baby.

Yes, and she gets the final say in all of this, so we need to make a good impression.

Oh, well, in that case, I’ll just get out of your hair, and you can get ready.

No, no, actually, please. It’s–it’s actually kind of perfect that you’re here because we need to show Mrs. Choi that we have strong family values.

Oh.

Yes, yes, yes. And having you and EJ here could help us, you know, prove that idea.

Oh. Huh, EJ and strong family values?

Hey, I never dumped my child on my sister to raise. How is Lani, by the way?

You keep my daughter’s name out of your mouth.

Okay, enough, both of you, all right? This is really, really important to us, all right? And so if you two cannot act civilly for just one lunch, then you both should leave.

Uh, I’m sorry, Chanel. I’ll be on my best behavior.

As will I.

Okay. Uh, good. So Chanel and I, we should probably go get changed. Uh, we’ll head upstairs. I trust you two are not going to kill each other?

You can count on us.

Well, thank you. [soft music]

For the record, I am so over you right now.

Yeah, well, you’re not exactly my favorite person either, but let’s try and keep it in check, shall we? We need to make a good impression for Mrs. Choi’s sake. [door clicks]

And our children.

Yeah.

I hope we’re not interrupting. [tense music]

44

Tate, hi. Uh, Doug and I were just talking.

About?

Nothing, really.

Well, it–it didn’t look like nothing. You were holding hands just now.

No, no, I was just supporting him as a friend.

What are you talking about?

Well, it’s not really my place to say.

Holly, it’s okay. We need to tell him the truth about everything. [tense music]

You don’t have to say anything.

It’s cool, really. Holly was just trying to make me feel better. I did something pretty awful, and the guilt was practically killing me.

Guilt about what? What did you do? 46

Doug–

I stole a necklace, a really expensive one.

So you’re a thief?

No. No, he’s not. He just–he made a mistake, and he’s trying to make it right.

And Holly’s been helping me do that.

Helping you? Wow. Helping you how? 47

Well, you see, the necklace was fenced, so we’re trying to track down who bought it. That way, he can return it to its rightful owner.

The rightful owner? You mean the person that he stole it from? Holly, did–you– are you sure that you want to get wrapped up in this? Like, you could really get in trouble here.

Tate, I know what I’m doing. I’m fine, okay? 48

Look, I have to go. Sophia and her mother are meeting Johnny and Chanel, and I feel like I should be there. But I really want to talk to you about this later. Alone.

Okay.

Oh, in the meantime, watch your purse. [tense music]

Why did you do that? Why did you just tell Tate you stole Julie’s necklace?

You’re not interrupting a thing. We’re just a little embarrassed, that’s all. You just caught us talking about how we wanted to make a good first impression.

Oh, I understand. This is all a little nerve-racking.

Your butler let us in. I hope that’s okay. 50

More than okay.

Johnny and Chanel, they’re upstairs getting ready. I’m Paulina Price, Chanel’s mother.

Of course. I know who you are, Madam Mayor.

Oh, please. Call me Paulina.

Amy Choi. And this is my daughter, Sophia.

And I’m EJ, Johnny’s father.

Uh, we haven’t officially met, but I used to hang here with Holly sometimes.

And I’ve been friendly with your wife for some time.

His wife?

Yes, Nicole and I are both pretty active in our daughters’ lives. Lots of carpooling and PTA meetings. I haven’t seen her in ages, though. Will she be joining us?

Yes, EJ, will she be joining us?

No, I’m afraid not. 52

Uh, Holly’s mom and Mr. DiMera got a divorce last year.

Nicole lives in Paris now.

I see. I’m sorry.

Oh, no, no. No need to be sorry. No, no. I hear she– she’s really happy. Thriving, even.

[chuckles] While I do wish Nicole the best, we would still be married if it were up to me. The sanctity of marriage is very, very important to me. But alas, there was nothing I could do. She left me for another man.

How terrible.

Mm. A defrocked priest, if you can imagine.

Look, EJ, please, let’s not bore Mrs. Choi with the details of your divorce. Let’s talk about more cheerful topics.

Oh, he’s not boring me. And I appreciate your honesty, EJ. [light suspenseful music]

Mrs. Choi. Hi, Johnny DiMera. Pleasure to meet you.

Likewise.

I assume that you’ve all met?

Yes, we have. And your father was just telling us about his divorce from Nicole. 55

Oh, he was? Yeah, uh–yes, that was very unfortunate. But I can assure you that Chanel and I are not headed for the same fate. We are in this for the long haul. In fact, we’re hoping that, um, Tate and Sophia’s baby could be our first step towards growing our family.

I’m happy to hear that. But choosing the right adoptive parents for my grandchild is no small matter to me. Before I make any decisions, we should all get to know each other better.

Oh, Chanel and I couldn’t agree any more. In fact, I’m sure my wife will be joining us shortly.

Here I am. Sorry to keep you all waiting.

We need to play this right. We need to prove that the man in custody is Arnold, then we can use it as leverage. 57

And force him to tell us where Rafe is. So what are we waiting for? I’ll drive us to the station.

No, he’ll–he’ll just stick to his amnesia story, to say nothing of the fact that he’s lawyered up.

Give me ten minutes alone with him. He’ll beg for mercy and cop to everything.

That’s a one-way ticket to getting all the charges tossed. Going through Arnold is a dead end. [pensive music] 58

Then we don’t go through Arnold. There’s one other person that can lead us to Rafe.

EJ.

Mm-hmm.

He’s worked with Arnold before. And if he knows anything about this, he’ll know where Rafe is.

But where? It’s not like he’d keep my brother in the mansion. There’s too many people living there. Any one of them could stumble upon him. – Jada. – Here you are. I knew I was right.

That would be a first. What are you doing down here?

Looking for you.

Fine. You’ve found me. Now tell me why.

You know why. I know exactly what you’re up to, EJ. [clattering] What was that noise? [tense music]

Jada.

EJ might not keep him in the mansion, but he might be keeping him under it.

[quirky tense music]

Would you care for another? 61

Oh, don’t mind if I do. Dare I ask for the recipe?

Oh, I couldn’t possibly take credit. We have a, uh–a staff full of people in the kitchen.

[chuckles]

Isn’t that great, Mom? The baby would have gourmet cooking every day.

Hey, hey. I’m sorry I’m late, everyone. Hope I didn’t miss– Anything.

Well, that’s okay, Tate. I told my mom that you were picking up the dessert.

Right. Yes. Yeah, yeah. And that’s what I did. I wanted to show off the amazing cookies that Chanel has at her bakery.

You own your own bakery?

Oh, uh, yes, I do. A lovely little space in the square. Maybe you’ve heard of it– Sweet Bits?

Oh. I always thought that name was a bit inappropriate. I’m not a fan of double entendres.

Oh. Oh, wow. You know, it never even crossed my mind.

[laughs nervously] Yeah. Yeah, I guess, uh, sometimes we’re just– we’re just too innocent for our own good, you know.

[chuckles]

Mrs. Choi, may I interest you in a drink?

Water, please.

Coming up.

Oh, Chanel, uh, that’s quite a lovely necklace.

Oh, well, thank you. My mother got it for me for my first communion.

[chuckles]

And what about you, EJ?

My mother is quite devout.

And your father?

[inhales sharply] Nothing was more important to him than eternal life.

How wonderful. And how lucky that Chanel and Johnny found partners whose families share similar values.

[laughs] Almost too good to be true. [chuckles]

Where the hell is my brother, you sick son of a bitch? [tense dramatic music]

Okay, for starters, I never said it was Julie’s necklace that I took. Tate has no idea that it has anything to do with the Hortons. And look, Tate clearly had the wrong idea about us, so I figured it would be better to just tell him the truth. Or at least part of it.

Still, that was really risky.

Yeah, maybe. But I’m not gonna ask you to lie to him.

Well, I don’t know what to say. Thank you.

Now, the only question is, is Tate gonna rat me out before I can make this right?

[tense music]

What’s happening?

No clue, but it cannot be good.

Maybe we can all discuss this at another time.

Or perhaps never. You both have a lot of nerve just barging in here.

We want answers, EJ. Where’s Rafe? 69

Dad, what are they talking about?

You haven’t heard? Your father kidnapped Rafe and replaced him with Arnold Feniger. Again.

I did no such thing.

Arnold Feniger is dead.

Yeah, that’s what we thought. But we just tested his DNA from the man in custody right now.

The guy who almost married Jada, who was working for your father, isn’t my brother.

Yeah, we think someone may have swapped him out months ago.

Dad…

please tell me you didn’t have anything to do with this. Not after what that guy did to Mom.

Of course I didn’t.

Then I guess you won’t mind if I take a look around in the tunnels.

[scoffs] This is absurd.

Johnny, would you show me to the tunnels?

Good heavens. What is going on here?

You can’t just come storming in here and snoop around– without a warrant, no less.

Who needs a warrant? I’m not a cop anymore, thanks to you. 72

If you have nothing to hide, you’ll let her go down there.

Johnny, would you show me to the tunnels?

Son, please.

Thank you, Johnny.

You know, uh, maybe we should just reschedule.

No. No need. Jada and Gabi will be leaving very soon, and I’ll expect an apology before they go. 73

[chuckles] I swear, if you hurt my brother–

I do not know anything about Rafe or Arnold Feniger.

You better be telling the truth. Because I swear to God, if I find out you had anything to do with the man who raped my mother, there will be hell to pay. [dramatic music]

[soft tense music]

Uh, she’s been down there a while. Maybe I should go check on her. [footsteps approaching]

Well, did you find Rafe?

No sign of him.

Ah, shucks. That’s because he was never there. Now, please, get the hell out of my house.

This isn’t over, EJ. We know you had something to do with this.

And once we find Rafe, you are gonna go to prison for the rest of your life.

[door clicks]

[clears throat]

More, uh, cookies, anyone? [chuckles]

You can trust Tate. He can keep a secret.

If he wants to.

What’s that supposed to mean?

It’s just–look, it’s very obvious that I’m not Tate’s favorite person, okay? He doesn’t know anything about me, except that he keeps catching me alone with you. Why would he keep it quiet for me?

You’re right. He wouldn’t. But he would for me. 77

Well, not if he thinks I’m gonna get you in trouble.

Let me just worry about Tate, okay? I’ll make him understand why this is so important. Besides, I doubt he’s giving it much thought today. He’s too busy focusing on making sure Mrs. Choi doesn’t run for the hills when she meets the DiMeras.

Come along, Sophia.

We haven’t even finished lunch yet.

I’ve lost my appetite. 78

Oh. Whatever is going on with Johnny’s father, that is no reflection on his son or my daughter. Now, you–you’ve got to believe that.

I don’t know what to believe. But what I do know is that the three of us need to have a long chat so we can reevaluate this situation. Now, let’s go. [soft dramatic music]

79

I’ll be in touch, I guess.

[sighs] There’s no way they’re gonna let us adopt that baby now, is there?

Mom, just please give Mr. DiMera a chance to explain himself.

She’s right, Mrs. Choi. It sounds like Gabi and Jada have got this totally wrong. 80

And Commissioner Hunter was the one all over the news, remember? So was Gabi a while back.

Even if they were wrong this time, Johnny admitted that his father was once mixed up with that horrible man. I’m sorry, but I am not stepping one foot back in that house of horrors. And I am certainly not giving Johnny and Chanel DiMera my grandchild. [tense music]

Well, thanks a lot, Dad. Pretty sure you just blew any chance we had of adopting Tate and Sophia’s baby.

How are you blaming me? Jada and Gabi were the ones who came storming in here with their baseless accusations.

Were they baseless?

Look at me, son. Hand to God, I’m not holding Rafe hostage. 82

[exhales] Really? Then why did I see you hanging out with Rafe around the holidays in this very room?

[sighs] Because I hired Rafe to investigate Jada. Obviously I couldn’t just come right out and tell you.

Except Rafe acted like he didn’t even know me. Was it Feniger the whole time? Hmm?

[scoffs] It must have been. No wonder he was so willing to uncover his fiancĂ©e’s corruption. [sighs]

So that’s your story, huh? You had no idea that Rafe was ever replaced?

That’s the truth.

Well, I hope to God it is. Because if I find out that you lied to me again about the man who violated my mother, you will never see me, you will never see Chanel, you will never see our family ever again. And I will never forgive you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[car crashes]

Sounds like attempted murder.

Your plan was genius.

Frankly, I was surprised how easy it was.

Not so fast, mister.

Strangely enough, I’m getting a second wind.

Are you ever not actively flirting?

No, not when it comes to you.

[girls squealing]

How do you stand living your life so loud?

Hayley is going to be my wife. And it can’t happen soon enough.

Bill and I were supposed to be together forever. That was the pact.

As far as I’m concerned, my father is dead.

The Duprees will be attending the wedding as a family, including you, Dani. Duprees don’t cower. We don’t hide. If Bill has the stones to marry that little heifer in our community, then he can do it while looking into our pissed-off faces.

On behalf of Bill and Hayley, I would like to welcome and thank you all for coming out tonight in celebration of their union. Your love and support means the world. Marriage is a lifelong partnership, a promise of love, respect, honor, and trust in each other through the good and the bad. It is a covenant not to be taken into lightly. Today, among these witnesses, Bill and Hayley embark on a journey to husband and wife. If anyone here objects to the union of these two people, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Me. I object.

Dani, no!

[guests clamoring]

[gunshot]

[guests scream]

Danielle, stop this!

Put that gun away this instant!

Eva: You are looking at Nicole Richardson’s brand-new temporary assistant.

[screams]

Yes. Okay. I’m so excited. This is it, honey. Ooh, it’s the day I, I’ve dreamed about. [chuckles]

You are finally gonna be where you should have been all along. In your father’s house.

Mm-hmm. My biological father.

Hmm, Dr. Big Shot thought he could just wipe us away, forget you and I exist. Well, Ted Richardson and his high-and-mighty wife are in for a rude awakening. He’s gonna pay for trying to erase my baby girl Eva. Hmm, for trying to erase me.

What are you doing? Please, Danielle. Danielle, please.

Chelsea:  Oh, my God.

Don’t get in the middle of this.

Dani, you need to let these people out of here.

They can go. I have unfinished business with these two.

You heard her. Let’s go.

[clattering]

[guests gasping]

Now, Dani…

If everybody stays out of my way, son-in-law, things will be fine.

Check the flowers.

Dani…

That was a warning shot. But now that I have your attention, there are certain sentiments I’d like to convey.

Just put the gun down, and we could…

We-we can talk about this? Too late. I have a choice to make. Do I put this next bullet right between your two lying eyes, Bill? Or… Well, imagine the damage I could do if I destroyed this pest. Who would drop in for dinner at our table but wasn’t satisfied until she took my man from my bed. That would probably hurt more… longer… maybe for the rest of your sad, pathetic life. Decisions, decisions. ♪ ♪

Sorry for holding up your table. I’m sure she’ll be here any second.

What about your friends, the couple?

Naomi and Jacob couldn’t make it– family deal– but Ashley and I got to celebrate. It’s her first week at Garland Memorial. Best new nurse in the D.C. metropolitan area.

Nice.

Just can’t figure out what’s keeping her.

Maybe there’s an emergency.

And they pulled a newbie in on it?

Maybe, yeah, but I’m thinking it’s her first week.

It’s probably not life-or-death.

Thanks.

That’s just your water breaking. It’s perfectly normal.

Oh. Uh, yeah, sure it is, and in the movies this is when you would get your bag and head to the hospital, right? I’m having this baby now.

No, not now.

[scoffs] Tell that to the baby.

Try to relax, try to relax.

This is an elevator. Why is the baby in such a rush?

Isn’t there something we can do to…?

Everything is going to be fine, okay? We just need to get this mama- to-be to Labor and Delivery.

That might be easier said than done.

Oh, something’s wrong.

What could go wrong? We’re gonna be moving in just a minute. Right, Andre?

The elevator’s stuck.

Dani: Cheater. Home-wrecker. Which should it be? Don’t hide behind him.

Look, Dani, just put the gun down and tell me what you want.

All I ever wanted was you.

Bill, you don’t have to…

Dani: Speak less.

Bill: Hey. Whatever it is you hope to accomplish here…

Tick it off my bucket list. First, ruin this one’s wedding day. Next… well, let’s see where the day takes us, huh?

For the love of God, Vernon, do something.

Danielle, sweetheart, please.

Just tell us what you want so we can get on…

Everything you took from me. I had a life I loved, a career when I met you. I was so young and eager to be the wife you wanted, give you children… our beautiful children. Every woman you wanted me to be… I became. Everything you wanted, I wanted for you. Financed and feted. I helped birth your dreams into a reality. Hell, your meteoric rise to the cream of the crop was bankrolled and financed and endorsed by the Duprees.

It’s my job.

That’s my mother.

Danielle, we’ll discuss this in private after you put down that gun.

Mm-mm, no. There are too many secrets around here. Like this one.

I have a name.

Oh, you have a few. None of them very nice.

I’m Hayley Hamilton.

Like hell. Until you are pronounced wife, you don’t get to have the same last name as my children.

You’re Hayley Lawson. Finish the story. Friendless orphan who inflicted herself on my family, used my daughter for a free pass to the good life, made herself at home, and wrecked everything I’ve built.

I know you think that’s…

If you knew what I’m thinking right now, you would be very quiet! Better.

Okay, honey, we are about to become besties.

What’s your name?

Alix– with an “I,” not that that matters right now.

I’m Ashley Morgan.

You’re a nurse.

Please tell me you’re a doctor.

Sorry. Andre Richardson, photographer.

God, don’t you dare take my picture. Don’t even ask.

I’ll do something more useful instead. I’m calling 911.

 

Good idea.

Yeah.

Now breathe, breathe.

[breathing deeply]

In through your nose, out through your mouth. That’s right. Don’t say it.

Yeah, no reception.

Alix: Keep trying. Because delivering in an elevator is not part of my birth plan.

[groans]

Okay, another contraction.

Come on, get down.

Feels like they’re closer together.

Andre, give me your coat. We’re gonna get her more comfortable.

What, y-you mean the baby’s coming?

[groans]

Oh… That did not sound good. That sounds like this baby is ready, all right, which is perfectly fine because Andre and I are here and we’re gonna help you. Nothing to worry about. Let’s do this.

The day I gave birth to you, your father was the same as now– nowhere to be found, not that I was surprised. Ted made it quite clear that he wanted nothing to do with us.

From the very beginning.

Mm-hmm. Soon as I got pregnant, Ted got in the wind. Nicole Dupree had that man wrapped around her finger. He didn’t spend one hot minute worrying about you or me.

Oh… much as it breaks my heart to see that look on your face– the truth, honey, that hurt– it’s best that you know the truth. Ted Richardson didn’t give a damn about whether we lived or died, and he still doesn’t. [chuckles wryly] You know, if he could’ve just stayed the way that he was when we first met. Oh, my God, he was… I never met a man like him before. And he never loved a girl like me.

I’m sorry for what he did to you, Mama. To us. To us. But now that I’m working for Nicole, I’ll be on the inside.

[chuckles] That is my baby. Goal-oriented, just like her mama. We’ll make things right.

Dani: It’s a funny thing about names. Once you are Mrs. Hamilton, if this fiasco goes that far, no one will tell you what they really think of you, so…

Dani, you’ve gone far enough.

Oh, I’ve just scratched the surface, Bill. I’m tired of holding my tongue. And why should I? I’m the one holding the gun.

And what will you do with it?

She’s putting it down. Right, Danielle?

After they’re done begging.

For our lives?

My forgiveness. On your knees.

She’ll be here. She’s like that. She gets wrapped up in her work. Whatever she’s doing, she’s into it 100%, so I’ll give her another half hour and then I’ll start to worry. But it’s probably nothing.

Paperwork, changing bedpans, no big deal at all. That’s right, just breathe with me. Ready?

[Ashley and Alix breathing deeply]

Hey, I don’t know if anybody can hear us, but, uh, we’ve got three people in the elevator.

T-Tell them there’s about to be one more.

[groans]

Okay, breathe, breathe, breathe. Ready? Look at me, look at me. Ready?

[both breathing deeply]

Tell me you’ve done this before.

Are you kidding me? You’ve got nothing to worry about, okay? We got this. Just keep breathing.

[both breathing deeply]

Doing great. That’s right, that’s right, take a break now.

Why do I feel like I’m feeding you to the lions?

You aren’t. This is the opportunity we’ve been planning. And as Nicole’s assistant, I’ll be in the perfect position to get close to her and…

…to her and Ted. And we’ll make him answer for the awful way he treated you. All the money they got, how they live. He didn’t even send child support. You deserved better.

And you deserved love from your father. You deserved violin and Mandarin lessons. You deserved trips to Europe, status and recognition. But what did he do? Waste it all on those two feckless brats. Princess Kat and fancy pants congressman.

Mom, please.

I love you, baby, but you need to let me do this. You and your grandfather. You need to get on your knees.

Hayley’s not getting on her knees for you or anyone else.

Chivalrous. I haven’t seen that side of you in a long time.

Fine. Since you’re the one who swore to protect, honor and love me… you kneel. Let your wannabe bride see you as you really are on your wedding day. Kneel or so help me.

[guests clamoring]

[gunshot]

[screaming]

Anita: Oh, God, Danielle.

You get your hands off of me!

Give it up, Danielle.

[straining]

It’s over.

Jacob: Give it to me.

Better in your hands than my unhinged ex’s.

[gun clicks]

Dani, come on. Come on.

Excuse me, excuse me. Move, move, move.

[indistinct chatter]

You could’ve killed someone!

And you could have been a decent human being, but here we are.

You sure you’re okay, sweetheart?

I think so.

One last thing.

Oh…

it’ll never be over between us, Bill.

Don’t you think you owe us an apology for what you did today?

Shooting the flowers? No, it’s a vast improvement over those embarrassing funeral arrangements. I would question your taste level, but based on recent choices, it’s clear that you’ve lowered your standards to a hideous degree.

Oh.

I’ll see myself out.

Martin: Keep an eye on things while I do damage control. Thank God that photographer stopped shooting. And that your Aunt Dani was forced to follow his lead.

It’s no joke, Smitty. I’m a public figure. The last thing I need is bad press.

Talk about a shotgun wedding.

Not funny, Kat.

Coping mechanism, cuz.

They told me this wedding would be unforgettable. Now I know why. And to some child who befriended my daughter and broke bread like family.

I would be breaking something else– some bones or some laws– but don’t quote me.

Dani Dupree Hamilton deserves an award for enduring that nonsense. And speaking of, did I mention her sister Nicole snagged some honor or another? I don’t know.

Those Duprees get more awards and rewards than anybody. [laughs]

Ooh-wee, and don’t get me started on the nephew. Now, he’s God’s gift, or some might say. Andre something or another.

So, uh, d-d-do you have a name yet?

We wanted to wait and see.

No name, no gender. My husband said it would be fun to be surprised. And, look, he’s not even here. Oh! It hurts so bad. Something must be wrong.

How many birthing books have you read, hmm?

All of them.

Right, so it means you have a head full of what-ifs about things going sideways, but I need you to trust that things can also go right.

Okay, so what’s the, uh, what’s the next thing?

To breathe. What do you say? You ready to meet your kid?

Okay, ready? You’re gonna breathe with me, okay?

[all breathing deeply] That’s it, that’s it.

Ashley, it’s your dinner date at Uptown, where I’ve been hydrating for the last hour. Listen, if this is the ultimate payback for all those times I kept you waiting when I was putting out fires, I’m sorry. I get it and I owe you. I love you. See you soon.

Still giving up on her?

She’s not even answering my texts, so I’m gonna go check on her. We might see you later.

Hey, honey, um, what are you gonna do with the gun?

Look, I-I know it’s a lot to ask, but I was…

Jacob, a personal favor?

What do you need?

Police escort. Help speed my guests through the exits.

He doesn’t work for you, Dad.

Hey, it’s no problem.

Just meet me in the lobby, all right? We’ll just make sure everyone understands how stressful this has been for Danielle.

Find a way to make it all go away.

Yeah, like we do.

Vernon. I’ll make sure you get the invoice.

For what?

Damages.

Are you sure you didn’t get any pictures of what went on?

I saw the gun and forgot about the job. I’m really sorry.

These things happen.

If there are more papers for you to sign or additional payments…

They have my email.

Dodged that bullet. Oh, my God.

What’s wrong, Chels, screen broken?

I’m dead, Kat, I am so dead. Our family is literally going to murder me.

Why?

I was live streaming the whole time. My mom, the gun, everything.

No, that’s got to be a mistake.

And I made it. I basically broadcast this nightmare to the entire world.

Martin and Kat had every advantage. They had first-class tickets from the moment they were conceived. And what did you get? Not even the time of day. [scoffs] You know what? When we ran into your father at the hospital, do you remember what he did when he saw us? He looked straight through us. You saw.

I did.

The life you could’ve led, Eva. But we’re here now… and we are putting this plan into motion. But we can’t make any mistakes. Outside of these walls, you can never call me Mom. Who am I?

Leslie.

And you’re?

The daughter of a friend of yours who died when I was young. You took me in and raised me– you and Alan.

That covers our bases. Ted only knew me by my first name, Dana. So Leslie shouldn’t set off any alarms. And from now on, I can only be your surrogate mom. Well, until we drop the truth in the middle of their very privileged lives.

I got it. No hint of a blood connection between us as long as I’m incognito in their world.

Thanks, baby.

Mm-hmm.

You got to stop beating yourself up, honey.

I would feel better if we could locate Dani.

I should have known.

No one could have predicted this, honey.

I’m a psychiatrist, trained to pick up on signs of distress.

It’s up to all of us to fix this situation. We’re Duprees. We come together in times like these. Falling apart is not an option.

The first order of business– finding Danielle.

Vodka martini, very dry. [sighs]

The way you were driving over here, though.

I stayed under the speed limit.

Pamela, if you are here to criticize my behavior or tell me how ridiculous I looked…

I said that I would be here for you today, and I dropped the ball. I should have been a better friend. I should have stopped you before things got out of control. But I am here now. So put me in, Coach. Need me to run interference?

[phone buzzing]

Slash a tire, burn a bridge? I’m your ride-or-die.

Okay.

And if you need me to, uh, pretend that the bar isn’t vibrating from all the texts you’re getting, I can do that, too.

[buzzing stops]

What can I do, Dani?

You can pay for the drink I ordered.

Oh, you’re leaving so soon?

Time to face the Duprees.

Oh. Well, good luck.

Love you.

Love you back.

Enjoy the martini.

Toast the bride and groom.

[Pamela sighs]

[R&B music playing]

There goes my happy day.

Uh, no, no. Don’t let Dani ruin our plans.

She already has. Look around.

Well… then I say we do what we came here for.

With me looking like this? My dress, my hair is all…

You look radiant. After all you saw and heard tonight, can I still convince you to join me on this crazy ride?

Nothing would make me happier.

Yeah?

Let’s do it. Let’s, let’s get married.

[laughter]

Listen, before I go, don’t ask me what I heard about Dr. McBride, husband to the Vanessa McBride, Realtor to DMV’s best and brightest. You know her and Nicole Richardson are besties, right?

Oh, yeah, they go way back.

Anyway, you won’t believe what… [chuckles]

I’ll call you back.

You’re Ashley’s guy, right?

The fireman.

I never forget a face.

Derek Baldwin. Hey, uh, you know where I can find Ash? We were supposed to meet for dinner, and she never showed up.

Huh. Well, she clocked out a while ago, left with Andre Richardson.

Who?

He’s a photographer. Got on the elevator together, and that’s the last I saw.

Ashley: That’s great, now I need you to give me a push. Okay, ready? One, two. -That’s it. That’s it.

[groans]

That’s great, Alix, you are crushing this.

Andre: No one would believe this is your first baby. Thanks for letting me squeeze your hand. Hope it’s not your picture-taker.

It’s okay. I-I’ll get the feeling back eventually. But for now, just stay what you’re doing. Okay?

You’re doing good. Isn’t she, Ashley?

Alix, I can see the head.

Oh.

Andre: Oh, oh, look at that. Just a couple pushes away, and you’re holding your baby, okay?

Are you ready?

No. Yes. I don’t know, am I?

Definitely. Now, on this next contraction, I need you to dig deep and give me everything you got. All right, here we go. One, two.

[screaming]

[crying]

[door closes]

Expecting someone else?

Hoping you were your mother.

No one’s heard from her? I can make a call. Send out some patrol cars to be on the lookout.

That won’t be necessary, Detective Son-in-Law.

Dani, we were worried about you. Can we get you anything?

Naomi: How are you? Are you okay?

Anita: An entire house full of people worried sick about you, praying for the best, hoping you hadn’t gone and done something else reckless. And here you come waltzing in like it’s Sunday afternoon.

Mom. -“Mom”? Is this a child of mine before me? The shame you have brought on this family. And a gun? Since when do you have a gun? Is that who we are now? I don’t understand, Dani.

Martin: I do. Sometimes the anger just builds and boils over till you don’t have a choice.

No, you’re right. You’re right, Mother, as always. These were not some of my best moments, I will give you that. But after the hell that man has dragged me through…

You don’t stoop to other people’s level. You rise above! You’re supposed to know that.

I think what we all need right now is to take a deep breath and figure out what to do next.

I’ll have a word with Bill, see what it’ll take to make this disappear.

You see what your shenanigans are costing? Now your father has to go to that reprobate, hat in hand, and beg his forgiveness. You should be ashamed, Danielle.

I’m sorry you had to hear that, but you know how your mother gets.

I also know she would never shoot anyone. I should have done something.

She pulled a gun in public.

Please, it was a private affair. And, bottom line, no one was hurt and no one is filing charges.

Jacob, honey, maybe you should just go home.

Are you for real?

I’m just looking out for you. Please let the family sort this out.

Oh, so I’m not family?

No, that’s not… You are my husband and a cop.

Right, and what happened tonight was…

Justified as far as I’m concerned. My father and my backstabbing former friend got the wedding day they deserved.

Officiant: By the power vested in me and the state of Maryland, I pronounce you husband and wife.

I guess dreams really do come true.

And this is just the beginning.

[laughing]

Aw… [laughs]

Congratulations.

Thanks, man.

How does it feel being a married woman?

I’ve never been happier in my life.

Dani, moment for your favorite sister?

My only sister.

When you have one as good as me, who needs a spare?

What did I do, Nicole?

Oh, sweetheart.

Mom’s right. How could I? I am so ashamed. Listen to me. That wasn’t you. You were forced into the untenable position of having to show up to that man’s wedding to that little…

Miss Jezebel.

You’re only human.

But I was raised to be better. The child of Vernon and Anita Dupree. Dignified, calm under pressure. They can see your blood and sweat, if necessary, but never your tears. We’ll just have to find a way to forgive you for appearing human.

Mom will never.

She’ll get over it eventually.

I don’t know, Nicole. I tried so hard to do the right thing, to just show up– looking incredible, of course– make it through that infernal ceremony, and go home. But when the man who swore he would love me for the rest of my life was about to say it to a younger, maybe better version…

She is nothing like you. I should have seen this coming. After everything Bill has put you through, he’s changed you.

He destroyed me.

[laughs] Never. Dani Dupree is still as wild as a house afire, but heaven help us, I think Bill actually made you stronger.

Watch out.

What would I do without you?

Unpredictable little sister, I will never give you the chance to find out.

I don’t like the way you’re looking at me, cuz.

That cop you married seemed a little uncomfortable with what happened tonight.

He won’t say a word to anyone.

I’d feel a lot better if we’d gotten the gun back from him. Thank God no one called 911.

Naomi: How are you, Mom?

Better.

Okay. Mother, is there something you’d like to say to Dani? She didn’t get an apology from Bill and Hayley, and she won’t get one from me.

Epic. Everybody’s here.

Well, Chelsea has something she needs to share. Right, Chels?

Derek, I may have solved the mystery of the missing nurse. Seems like one of our elevators is stuck.

Wait a minute, and Ashley’s trapped inside?

Ashley?

Ashley: Thank God.

What the heck happened in here?

It’s a girl. A beautiful, perfect baby girl. I know it’s all in a day’s work for you, but stepping into that elevator changed my life.

Shame there’s not a photographer around to commemorate it.

Oh, uh, I’d be honored. Excuse me.

Okay.

I will never forget what you both did here tonight.

Mind if I get a picture of you holding her for her baby book?

Oh, I’ve got you covered.

Andre: Yeah. Of course.

Woman [over P.A.]: Dr. Lund, line three.

Oh, she’s the prettiest baby I’ve ever helped deliver.

Thank you… for everything.

Now, while you’re taking good care of her, don’t forget to take care of yourself.

True that.

Wow, a baby. You guys had quite a night.

Yeah. Your girl was amazing in there.

[laughs]

You’re a lucky guy.

Don’t I know it?

Mmm.

Derek: You stood me up.

For good reason, though.

[R&B music playing]

Mind if we join?

Oh, please.

So, that was fun.

Oh. Forgive his painful sense of humor. I know you and Dani are close.

Oh, as close as you and Nicole. And they’ll both need all the support they can get from us. The whole family will. Anything they need, we’ll be right there.

At least things can’t get any worse.

Martin: This is not good.

And there’s no way to delete that video?

It was a live stream, bro, and it’s going viral.

Viral? How viral?

Well, Chelsea has over a million followers, so that’s your baseline.

It was an accident, I swear.

And it is not your fault. It is mine.

No argument there.

What’s done is done.

We need to get out in front of this.

Where are you going?

Make some calls.

Any objections to a press conference, hmm?

We’ll give it our spin. And I need you all there showing a united front.

Of course, Daddy.

Oh, no, you’ve done quite enough.

Your mother’s right. Keep a low profile, sweetheart, it’s for your own good. Let us handle this.

Whatever you think is best.

Excuse me. We all know what’s at stake. Let’s show them who we are.

How you holding up, baby girl?

Being in this family is difficult at times. This is one of those times.

Dad, how messed up is this gonna be for Aunt Dani?

She’ll recover. The Duprees take care of their own.

Vernon and Anita would do anything for their children, just as I would do for my own. And I mean it. I’d brave through hell for our family.

LESLIE: Ted Richardson will curse the day he turned his back on us.

Landing that job with his wife was a clever way in, baby.

It was your idea.

And we got lucky when Nicole’s assistant had that accident.

I’m sorry Laura will be laid up for a while, though.

Everything will fall into place.

So, what was Nicole like at your interview?

[scoffs] Every bit as entitled as you said she’d be. No worries in Nicole’s carefully curated world. I can’t wait till we blow it all apart.

United front reporting for duty.

Let’s make our way back to the country club. Back to the scene of the crime.

It’s Granddaddy’s idea and it’s a damn good one. Shows we have nothing to hide. Best if we do it now, get in front of the situation.

I love this house.

Aah! Oh, my goodness! Caroline must have done all of this. That woman deserves a raise.

Well, if you need someone to blame, look no further.

You?

Mm-hmm, and you’re thinking, “Why would he go to all this trouble “when we’re leaving in the morning for our fabulous Italian honeymoon?” Well, I will tell you why. Because I am madly in love with the woman who brought me back to life.

[sighs] What did I do to deserve you?

[phone buzzes]

Oh, wait, wait. I really hope this is not about a flight delay. I don’t want to wait another minute to…

What is it?

[chuckles] A tip from my friend at The Washington Post. I have a press conference to attend.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Okay, um, the reason I asked you to come here is because, uh, there’s something that I think you can help me with. Well, you know, after all this time, you can always count on your very good friend, Lucy Coe. [ Laughs ] Spinelli, it’s so good to see you! Well, that goes 1,230,400 times more so for me. Number of seconds in four years. You know me so well. But then, of course, you are my oldest friend in Port Charles, and as ever one of my dearest. Back at you. Shall we? Yeah, by all means. Thanks so much for meeting me. Well, of course. I’m always at your service. I do wish we could have done it sooner, but, uh… How are you, uh, handling your latest reality? Well, when I’m not working, I’m spending every moment with Rocco. Of course. And when I’m not with him, I’m doing everything I can to find my daughter, which means finding Valentin. Ah, I see. And everyone tells me that I need to be patient, that I’ll find Charlotte, but… You’re running out of your self-imposed calm and restraint? I knew you’d get it. So, when do we start looking? Lulu, I… I have been looking, but there’s nothing to find. I’ve been through Valentin’s — all of his old accounts. I tracked him to Switzerland, but after that, the trail went cold. Okay, how about — And I’ve combed through all the corners of the dark web, and again, there’s nothing. Actually… there is one place we still haven’t searched. Tracy: What do you mean, he’s right? Where’s Diane? Diane is unavailable, so I have to handle the matter. I don’t want you here. Well, I don’t want to be here. But right now, I’m all you’ve got. If you think that all I’ve got means someone with an obvious bias who can’t possibly represent my interests, you are delusional. Yes, Tracy, I’m very well aware that you have attorneys all over the city. They could populate an island. They already do. It’s called Manhattan. So, what’s going on? This woman is insisting that my parents are interred on public land. Jason, are you looking for something? Uh, yeah. You. And you thought I’d be in a cupboard? [ Chuckles ] Well, I was thinking about our conversation we had this morning, and I just want to make it clear that I’m not — I’m not trying to tell you what to do. Don’t worry about it. I don’t do what anyone tells me to do, anyway. What’s this? Compliments of the gentleman. Four doctors and Brad are at a symposium in Miami right now. And I’m so jealous that I can hardly stand it. Well, babe — Babe. You don’t have to be jealous much longer, because we’re going to the white sand beaches of St. George’s. Really? Now, are you serious this time? Indeed, I am. I know you were scouting locations for Aurora’s new resort, but I wasn’t sure that you had landed on anything yet. Well, I hadn’t, but as CEO, I had to test out the white sand of St. George’s. And to do that, you know, I’m going to need some help. Yeah? Drew: Curtis. You really think I would never find out?

I have not seen you all day. Well, we are medical professionals at a medical symposium, so we have been attending seminars, right? Yes. Oh, okay. I was the most interested in the sessions on diagnostic virology, but I ended up learning way more than I thought I would from the other sessions I sat in on. Good for you. Like, there’s this one about computational approaches on diagnosing genetic and microbial diseases, which, like [imitates explosion] blew my mind. But we both know that’s not why I’m here. Yeah, of course not. Oh, you never could resist a beach getaway. Do you remember that, um, Fiji trip we had planned? Yes. To the remote island of Nukubati? Still disappointed that we couldn’t go. You and me, an eco-resort, footsteps from the beach. As I recall, the trip involved an 18-hour flight followed by a teeny, tiny twin-engine prop plane over the jungle, a ride in a Jeep, and finally a hike to our hut, which had no air conditioning. So, in retrospect, I thought a fight for survival would be a fun getaway. Maybe it’s okay we missed that one. Yeah, there is something to be said for tropical drinks and poolside service. That’s all I need. Well, then why did you ever agree to my obviously problematic plans? Because you wanted to go, and I wanted to make you happy. So, how was the night off? Really good, actually. I met up with Carly at the Metro Court, and she made me a great offer. What, to be the chef? Can you believe it? She even offered me free housing until I could save enough money to put down a deposit on a place of my own. It’s — It’s kind of ideal. I mean, you don’t have to save anything. I’ll just give you whatever you need. Oh, my God. Why are you like this? What are you — What are you talking about? You live — You can work wherever you want. Just let me give you the money you need to get to a new place. I already told you, I don’t want that. I want to do this on my own. I want to be independent. I want you to be independent. But I also want you to be practical. I don’t understand why you’re being so stubborn about something that’s just — it’s just practical. You, of all people, don’t understand that? Jason, if anyone should understand how I feel, it’s you. Obviously, the damage to my old place is significant. Yeah, well, firebombs tend to do that. Right. Um, it’s going to take months to repair, and I’ve been — since I’ve been away, I’ve been thinking that, you know, it’s — it brings a bad memory. Well, no one believes in fresh starts more than I do, no matter how many it takes. Good, because I want to start over someplace new. O-Okay, so, this new home you’re thinking of, I take it you’re going to need a lot of very specific requirements. It’s got to be comfortable for Donna and Avery. Well, yeah, naturally. High gates. I don’t want any neighbors close by. State-of-the-art security. You know what? I know exactly the place. The FBI searched Valentin’s house and didn’t find anything, but they don’t know Valentin like I do. Or Charlotte. They could have missed something. Yeah, it’s not statistically impossible. Great. So, all you have to do is get past the security system. Okay, Lulu, I-I understand your need to find Charlotte, and I will do anything to help you. But you’re still recovering. I made it to Prague and back. I can handle a little breaking and entering in the suburbs. Maybe we just let the authorities focus on finding Valentin, and you focus on — on Rocco and your job and — The authorities have been at it for how long now? And they’ve got nothing. I cannot wait any — Here we go. Oh, hey. Hey. What’s going on? Hey. Just two old friends catching up. Anything wrong with that? No, no, nothing wrong with that at all. You just look a little nervous. You nervous? He always looks like that. It’s true, I do. I do. Hmm. Gio, do me a favor? Yeah. Yeah. How about you order Dante a slice of cheesecake or something before Spinelli here confesses to treason? Mm. Alright, I get it. I’ll leave you guys to your super casual and not suspicious catch-up. Mm. [ Laughs nervously ] We can’t break into Valentin’s now. The PCPD is onto us. What? Of course we can. Oh! Well, those two are up to something. How can you tell? Oh, because they’re awake and together. Lulu’s on a mission, and Spinelli’s kind of like this nerdy tech genius guy. And she can convince anybody to do anything. There’s nothing to worry about. Dante’s just being overprotective. Or — Or maybe he’s being just the right amount of protective of Rocco’s mom, who is you. I’m Charlotte’s mom, too. And if you help me, you’ll be helping a mother find her daughter. That’s definitely worth taking the risk, isn’t it? My seat on the House Appropriations Committee was a lock, but now Douglas Henderson is icing me out. Took me about six seconds to realize that the Congressman from Baltimore was good friends with your aunt. My auntie has a lot of friends. Do you ever wonder what that’s like? You got your aunt to do your dirty work and screw me over? Oh. Oh, no. Stop. You did that to yourself. What public land? Doesn’t matter. It seems like it might. Oh, my God. It is not about public land. It is not about property lines. I filed a cease and desist against Drew to stop using the Quartermaine name. Yeah, well, I thought that was a done deal. It was until his loathsome lawyer, Martin Grey, took it upon himself to order his own unauthorized survey of the property. But this property survey is a forgery — [ Cellphone chimes ] …an obvious attempt to extort me. And I’m not having it. I’ll be right back. Look, Tracy, I know you don’t like Drew. Really, none of us do. But Drew calling himself a Quartermaine doesn’t seem like a really big deal. To you. But I have a family to protect. And when I get my hands on that charlatan — Good evening, ladies.

Did you or did you not speak to Henderson? Oh, I did. So, did you tell him that this whole thing is about a temper tantrum because I didn’t give you a job that I never actually promised you? I simply told the man to do his own research. About me? About you, about the Esplanade, about their various impacts on the wonderful people of Port Charles. See, if your appointment was blocked, then that means Henderson saw something he didn’t like. But I did not tell the Congressman what to do. You made a big mistake, Curtis. You take something from me, I take something from you. For God’s sakes, Drew! Stop it! Curtis was your friend. He stood by you. He would have stood by you till the end. But you betrayed him. You betrayed your friend. Honestly, Drew, what is wrong with you? Honestly, I never betrayed Curtis. He betrayed me.

Lulu: How’s it going?

Spinelli: Done. The signal should be jammed. So, I won’t set off a million alarms the second I get inside this place? Uh, there’s a 70% chance it’ll be fine. 70? 70. I mean, if you’d rather leave, though… Not a chance. 70%. I like those odds a lot.

What? Well, the alarm’s obviously off. The house is empty. The faster we search, the sooner we can leave. Are you alright? This was my daughter’s last home. She ate her meals here hung out with her friends, did her homework. She slept in a room I’ve never seen. This was Charlotte’s whole world, and…I know nothing about it. Dante: So, why’d you want to meet up? Other than it being Sasha’s night off? I-I needed to talk away from the house. Oh, yeah? Why? What’s the problem? There’s — There’s not a problem. It’s not a problem, exactly. I-I love living with the Qs, but I’m still trying to figure out how I fit in. How do you mean? My Aunt Lois used to be married to Ned, but that’s my one and only connection. And since your only connection is your mom, I thought you might be the one person who gets where I’m coming from. Yeah, I guess I do. Sort of. But I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Everyone likes having you over there. Not everyone. Who said you could let this charlatan on our property? I invited Martin, hoping that we might be able to sort through this matter in a calm and rational way. Hope you have a plan B. We could go through with the cease and desist. But Martin would publicize his discovery. Press release is already drawn up. Fine. And then we could all look forward to a costly legal battle that will go on for years. Good, because I have more money than Port Charles, and I can bankrupt the city. [ Chuckles ] Well, you were are hoping for calm and rational and you got bankrupt the city. I cannot wait to see where this goes. We all know that you can bankrupt the city, Tracy. But in the meantime, your loved ones will be removed from their resting place until this whole thing gets sorted out. Is that what you want? No. Cancel the cease and desist. Obviously, Drew wants attention, and I’m not going to give it to him. Excellent. Now, Martin — I knew it! Your parents are planted on public land, and now I have no choice but to do my civic duty and report you.

You never needed to do anything. I didn’t need you to hike through the jungle with me or rappel down mountainsides. I loved our life together. So did I. I was just always worried that you were trying to change who you were for me. And I wanted to be a better person. I mean, I’ve done some shady stuff in my life. And you’re the guy who rescues orphans and kittens from the rain. I have literally never done any of that. But you would. All I wanted was to be worthy of you. And it was ironic, you know, because I was twisting myself into knots trying to be this good person and trying so, so hard not to hurt you. And then that’s exactly what I ended up doing. How could you? Easily. That crypt is a hazard to public health. [ Laughs ] And reporting it is a hazard to yours. One word, and I will have you disbarred and disemboweled. Tracy, please. What? Alexis: Martin, the crypt is not a hazard. It’s not hurting anyone. There is no need to be vindictive and cause unnecessary pain. Don’t look at me. For her, it’s a hobby. Yeah. Okay. Fine. Fine. Whatever, as long as I don’t have to listen to one more word about the Congressman having to change his name. Tracy? Fine. Thank God. I’m out of here. Wait, wait. Before you go, you need to sign an NDA. Are you delusional? She would just file the cease and desist the minute my name was on the dotted line. We’ll make it a part of the agreement, okay? Quid pro quo. Forget it, Alexis. My conscience would never allow it. [ Laughs ] What conscience? You’re a bottom-feeding extortionist. And you sound every bit as irritating as my first two wives. You know what? I’ve changed my mind. Report me. Send out that press release. Hire a skywriter, for all I care, because we’re going to buy the property and every little, itty-bitty leaf on it. Now get out of my house before I have you arrested for trespassing! So, I spoke up about something that was none of my business. And now I’m on Tracy’s bad side. Yeah, everyone gets on Tracy’s bad side. What did you do to land yourself there? So, Tracy’s trying to stop Drew from using the family name. Oh, good luck with that. She filed a cease and desist. [ Laughs ] Of course she did. I don’t care about Drew, but I do care about Scout. She’s just a sad little kid who lost her mom not that long ago. And if Drew has to change his name, then Scout will either have to change hers, too… …or she’ll have a different name than her dad. And you think that’s not fair to Scout? Look, man, I mean, my dad and I, we have different names. A lot of people do. I mean, why do you think that’s a problem for you? I never met my dad, but I’m — I’m proud to carry his name. And I can’t imagine how I’d feel if someone tried to take that away from me. That’s what I told Tracy. That we should be putting Scout’s feelings first. And she shut me down hard because I’m not a Quartermaine. Well, you know what? Between you and me, I think Tracy actually digs it when you stand up to her. I think she respects you for it. She’ll never say it, but I think you’ve gone up a few notches in her eyes. Alright? You know, she did say something. That I would be better — a better Quartermaine than Drew. [ Cellphone rings ] Oh, well, that’s a low bar, but there you go. Anything wrong? It’s Tracy. Let’s see if I can practice what I preach. Let’s get to work. Oh. There has to be something in here they overlooked. Lucy: Let me just turn off the alarm. Okay, you are going to absolutely love this place. It’s like Fort Knox. When you moved out of here after your accident, did you take any family money for your nest egg? No. Why not? Would have been the practical thing to do. Well, I mean, I didn’t even remember my family. And if I had, I wouldn’t want them running my life. Oh, that sounds like something someone else has been saying. Our situations are completely different. I don’t want to run your life. I’m not going to pressure you to do anything. I don’t care. If anyone else would find out that you gave me money, they will use that as justification for demanding that I bring my baby into the fold. I’m not going to let that happen. [ Scoffs ] Look, despite all the insanity, this baby is a miracle to me, and I can’t wait to start this next chapter of my life. And all I want is to give my baby the best life possible — Okay, then let me — …because last time I couldn’t. I never got that chance. But the baby has a father. Have you even considered what he’d want? [ Scoffs ] Alright, we are not having this conversation. Especially not here. Fine.

Oh. I thought he’d never leave.

Ah. Do you know what is so, so cool? You can arm and disarm this entire security system of this house, right here on the phone. It’s so great. It’s so convenient. Huh. Yeah. Okay, well, the property is east-facing, so in the morning, it gets this spectacular light. And there are four bedrooms, two — two primary suites, a chef’s kitchen, a pool and, um, well, as you can see, it comes totally furnished because the former owner had to leave town rather quickly. I like it. Especially the hedges. What are they? 12, 14 feet high? The hedges? The hedges. Uh, well, you know what? I have not measured those hedges, but I can. I will. But better yet, why don’t I give you a tour of the entire grounds? No, I trust you. What’s in that room right there? Oh, uh, well, it’s — Dad, are you seriously considering Valentin Cassadine’s old house? You chose your words very carefully, but you let Curtis and everyone else believe that he was going to take over once you won your seat. I gave Curtis every consideration. I just wanted somebody with a little bit more experience to take over. As a token of my appreciation, I offered you a huge raise to go back in running Wellness. And I would have accepted your token if you’d had just been straight up with me, Drew. I gave you several opportunities to do so, and you chose to lie right to my face. Well, now you’ve proven I was right not to trust you with the truth. And everything you’re doing now? What’s that? Just to get back at me? No, it’s so much more than that. See, you were going to use your position on the committee to benefit yourself. You didn’t even care about the people of Port Charles and that they needed the Esplanade, and so did Aurora. All you were concerned about was getting back at Michael and me. Now that, sir, is the truth. And now you can use my company to build the project I created. Which you were happy to destroy, but, uh… Yeah. Mm-hmm. And now the committee can vote and approve the funding without you or your spite getting in the way. How civic-minded of you.

Sorry about that. I want him arrested.

Dante: For what?

Trespassing.

I invited him.

Oh, please. You are not one of the hordes that lives here. Therefore, you have no right to invite anyone, anywhere, anytime.

I do live here, but I’m not going to arrest anyone tonight.

Oh, great. My tax dollars at work. Okay, I don’t think anything’s gonna get resolved right now, so, Martin, you got to go because you’ve been asked to leave, so you got to leave. Fine with me, Detective. Tracy, courts are closed. You can’t file anything. So, why don’t you leave it alone? You don’t really need this trouble, do you? I am protecting my family, so I can’t leave it alone. I won’t leave it alone. Five, five, five. Oh, you’re going to have to give me more than that. Something my mom used to say when I was either angry or upset. Would I still care about it in five minutes? Or in five months? In five years, would I even remember what I was angry about? You know, my mom used to say something like that. She would say, “Tracy, will it really matter in the end?” Martin, I’ll walk you out. No, Alexis, I want you to stay. I’ll walk Martin out. Yeah, well, thank you all for an eventful evening. I guess I’ll, uh, turn in for the night. Gio…you gave me a lot to think about. Thank you. Get away from me. Miss Corbin… Leave now, or I’ll scream. This house is packed, and I can be really loud. I am not here to hurt you. No? You’re not gonna trap me in a warehouse again with a bomb and leave me to die? I am not here to debate the past. I’m here to discuss a business opportunity with you. Not interested. It’s very lucrative. Put down your weapon. I’ll tell you about it. Make it quick. If you persuade Deception’s leadership that the warehouse incident was a huge misunderstanding, I will pay you handsomely. Define “handsomely.” $250,000. What do you think about that? I’m glad you’re here. I mean, it seems like you know more about this house than I do at this point. I was going to tell you. Yeah? Yeah? You sure about that? Yes, I’m sure. I was going to tell you. It’s just I — this is a fabulous house, and I wanted you to love it. And I wanted you to come here with no preconceptions, because it has all the security, all the space requirements you need. How about Valentin? I mean, how can you sell a house when no one can contact him? Well, actually, the sale is being handled by his attorney, Martin Grey. Right. Which kind of makes it a little bit emotionally difficult for me, this whole transaction, because of my previous very special, deep relationship with Martin. But you know me — first, last, and always a professional. I’m sure you can handle Martin Grey. Can and have. So, what about Valentin? What if he comes here and he wants his place back? Uh, actually, Martin has assured me that Valentin is not going to return. Yeah? How does he know that? Don’t know. I mean, Martin isn’t sharing every little detail with me, but the fact that he’s still Valentin’s attorney, and that means they must be in some sort of contact. So, obviously, if the sale goes through, you sign, the deed is yours. That means the house is yours, even if Valentin returns. Right. It is a beautiful house, Dad. You don’t care if the past owner… Every house has a history, right? Right. Right. So, if that’s not an endorsement, I don’t know what is. So, please, will you at least let me give you the whole tour, okay? The bedrooms are to die for. The primary, the closets. It’s gorgeous. Lead the way. Okay, let’s start over here first. Follow me. I used to work for Deception. I care about what happens to Deception. Lucy is my friend. Maxie is my family. And you want me to lie to them? I want you to tell them the whole story. What version? [ Laughs ] The truthful one. That I never would have targeted you if it wasn’t for your mother. She stole my diamonds. I needed them back. I couldn’t very well go to the police, now, could I? I knew that if she was incentivized, she’d return my property to me. You didn’t know that she would. You hoped she would. I’m going to pay you a quarter of a million dollars so that you tell the story in its full completeness. The one thing your mother understood was the power of money. I’m presuming you do as well. Drew could end up being a problem No matter what we think of him, he’s still a Congressman, right? He’s rich. He’s got power and influence. He’s even charming, once you get to know him. Yeah, and even with all that, he still couldn’t get on the committee. Well, that’s because Douglas Anderson knows that he can’t trust him. But Drew is going to make new friends in D.C., and he seems determined to come after you. Babe, I get why you’re concerned. I have certainly made my mistakes in my life, but they’re all out in the open, and they have been for a long time, so… Drew, he can dig. He can dig all he wants, but he ain’t gonna find anything on me. Congressman Quartermaine, what a pleasure. A while ago, you implied that you had something on Curtis Ashford. I need that now. I see. I’ll make it worth your while. Unfortunately, I have nothing on Curtis. However, his wife, Dr. Portia Robinson, she’s another matter entirely. When I found out you were working at the hospital, I was harsh. I probably sounded like I hated you. I understood. I did something unforgivable. But that’s not why I did it. I-I cut you off because seeing you hurt. I’m so sorry. No, but the thing is, it’s not the bad memories that hurt. It was the good ones. Falling in love. Raising Riley. Starting a family. I-I needed to shake off those feelings, and I couldn’t, so I kept my distance. But then I kept running into you at G.H. Well, I was, like, stalking you. And I would be on a break, and I would find myself looking for you. I’m surprised. Me, too, kind of. And then you were there for me when Sam died, and you held me. And once I opened that door again, I couldn’t close it. So, are you saying that… …there could be an us again?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop! What is it? What’s wrong? I can’t do this. Not until I tell you the truth. I’m happy to do this for you, Congressman. And if I need a favor in the future? I’m happy to do whatever I can for all my constituents, provided what you have for me is good. See for yourself. What am I looking at? Proof that Dr. Robinson, co-chief of staff at General Hospital, tampered with a patient’s test results. I see. If this gets out, Dr. Robinson could lose her medical license and more. This is the kind of thing you were looking for? Yes. Yes, this will do nicely. Drew really has no play here, so he might as well just take the L on this round, fall back, or take consolation in Willow or his Congressional seat. Okay, but what about the next round? You know, I really don’t want to talk about what Drew might do. Why do that when we could be planning a trip to a white sand beach? Yes. Yeah. No, I like the sound of that, for sure. But I will say, um, if you want to keep being proud of me, I won’t stop you. Okay, Tracy. It’s just you and me. What do you really need? What I really need is for you to file the cease and desist. What happened to the five minutes? The five whatever, whatever? I’m just taking Gio’s advice. The family name matters. Five years, five decades. Five millennia. Drew can never be associated again with this family. Martin’s going to retaliate. I know. That’s why I’m going to get my own property survey done. Okay, well, you can do that. But the survey is going to say — Exactly what I want it to say. Well, you did good in there, man. You stood up to Tracy — again. Even gave her some advice. Not that she’ll take it or anything. Well, it was my mom’s advice. I miss your mom. She was a really cool lady. The best. So, that’s your — Shh! My grandson. That is one impressive young man. So, Dante, is he — Shh! Yes. Yes, it is his father. That is why I need to keep this a secret. Lois, you don’t have to worry. What you told me is covered by attorney-client privilege. No one is ever going to know. Okay. We should go while the coast is clear. There’s nothing to find here, anyway. Wait. Not yet. Okay, Dad, you got to get this place. If Avery has to choose between this beautiful home and that absolute broom closet Ava is calling her home, Avery is going to choose this every time. You know what, excuse me, but I find Ava’s little home very cozy and comfortable. But no, it’s okay. I see your point. Avery’s going to love it. That’s it then. I’m sold. Alright. Yeah. Okay, that is wonderful. And you will not regret this in any way. So, let’s draw up the paperwork and then we can get your offer in. Perfect. Lucy. Hmm? Fort Knox, remember? Fort Knox, right. Look at that. This is so convenient. You heard Lucy. My Uncle Martin knows how to reach Valentin. I never should have doubted my instincts. Yeah, it’s an incredible life lesson. Can we go now? Yes. To Martin. One way or another, he is going to lead me to Valentin. [ Sighs ] This, uh, business you’re proposing. You expect me to believe it’s completely legit? That you have no intention of drawing Deception into some criminal enterprise? All I want to do is give Deception the resources it needs and make a respectable profit. All I need to do is vouch for you and you’ll give me the money? That is all. No strings attached. Get away from her!

Transcript provided by Suzanne and Thane

[moody music plays] Look, I-I’m not trying to make excuses for all the terrible things I’ve done. I know that it shouldn’t matter if I have a mother or a father. I’m responsible for my own actions. I-I know that I’m to blame, but… sometimes I can’t help but wonder… maybe if I had a father, someone that I could turn to, someone that could guide me, care for me… it might have made all the difference in the world. I wish I would have known. But I didn’t know. I didn’t know. STEFFY: Luna is Finn’s daughter. Oh, sweetheart. I’m so sorry. I can’t believe it. -Of all people, Mom. -I know. I know. It’s too… it’s too much. You can let it out. You don’t have to be strong, Steffy. I really thought I could do this but it’s, um… It’s starting to hit me. Of course it is. Finn dropped a major bomb on you. Yeah, but Finn is struggling too, Mom. W-what am I supposed to do? Like, how-how am I supposed to accept this? How am I supposed to handle any of this? Okay, look at me. We’ll figure this out, okay? I’m still hoping that there’s some mistake, the paternity test is wrong. I wish, Mom. I wish more than anything that Luna wasn’t part of our family. [dark music plays] [heavy music plays] Did I go too far? I know you’re with Hope. I shouldn’t have done that. The truth is, I’ve been wanting to kiss you ever since we met. First Sheila is Finn’s birth mother. Now Luna is his daughter? Two women who tried to kill you, and you’re supposed to, what, -welcome them into your family? -It’s not Finn’s fault, Mom. I’m not saying that it is. I know you love him very much and this must be deeply painful for you. But you have children to worry about. And Finn and I always put the children first. They can’t stay here. It’s dangerous. You have to leave. LUNA: I mean, what do you mean… you didn’t know? Y-you didn’t know what? Everything you struggled with growing up. You shouldn’t feel bad. Well, I do. Why? You’re my cousin, Finn, and our moms weren’t even that close. I mean, I was happy to see you at holidays and stuff, even if it was just for a couple hours. Those were the only days I remember not feeling completely alone. But either way, you weren’t responsible for me, and there’s no way you could have helped anyway. My mom was always dragging me from one place to the next, and you were dealing with your own life, becoming a doctor and doing all these amazing things in the world. I was just happy to be your little cousin. I still am. Me not knowing who my father is has nothing to do with you. [uneasy music plays] DAPHNE: You should be ecstatic. Why? Because you… because you kissed me? That, too, but I was talking about the launch. The fragrance line was a hit, just like the jewelry line. Yeah. Yeah, sales are phenomenal. Uh, it surpassed our expectations, and I couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s talent and hard work. You should be proud of yourself. But it’s tainted, huh? You hate what you’ve done to Ridge, Steffy, and Eric. You feel regret. I can tell. I know you well by now. Respecting and admiring you… …was the last thing I expected when I came to LA. I see a wonderful, very talented… very handsome man. You want me to run. I think you have to. I have a wonderful marriage, beautiful children. -I’m not gonna just– -I want you to be safe. -You and the kids. -I am safe. With Finn. Mom, I-I love him. -I’m not gonna– -I do too. I do too. I don’t wanna lose my faith in him, but you are my child– you are my priority, you and my grandchildren. I’m worried about the kids too. This whole situation is freaking me out. [sighs] I hate to say it, but a lot of this pain -could have been avoided. -How? Finn never told you about Poppy. It happened before we even met. It never crossed his mind? He should have told you about that night. He thought nothing would come of it. But something did come of it, honey–a daughter. A young girl who tried to rip you away from your family. LUNA: I’m surprised that you can even look at me, let alone be kind to me. You always were, Finn. You’ve always looked out for me. I should have been there for you more than I was. You have no reason to feel guilty. There’s no way you could have stepped in for my missing father. Those are shoes that nobody could fill except him. You’re right. It’s really cool that you’re willing to listen to me after what I’ve done. I’m still shocked that you’re here. Well, I’m, uh…[sniffles] I’m shocked you’re not still in prison. Well, not physically, but I am still in custody. You’re serving your sentence here, under house arrest. It’s a total privilege, I know, but I was gonna die in there, Finn. I really was. Bill came to visit me, and he saw me all beat up and he was able to call in some favors and get me out. Yeah, well, leave it to Bill. He’s been really amazing. He understands me like no one else. I really wish that he could have been my father, but… he isn’t. Uh, the timing of this is actually really crazy. I was just trying to come to terms with everything. W-what do you mean, with everything? Who my father is. I have to accept that maybe it really is Tom Starr after all. No. No, Luna. Tom Starr isn’t your father. [heavy music plays] You have remorse for taking the company from Ridge and his family. I thought it was for the best… for the greater good for the future of Forrester. DAPHNE: You have a good heart. You’re a man of integrity. You did this for love. For Hope and her family. That was a big part of it, but it wasn’t the only reason. It’s admirable. Très romantique. In the end, though, you know what… what you and Hope did was wrong. -You know what’s right. -CARTER: Do I? I’m not so sure. I’ve struggled with that in the past. Like now? Our kiss. Well, we accomplished our goal. The fragrance line was a great success. Perhaps I overstayed my visit. It’s time for me to go back to Paris. [soft, dramatic music plays] Finn’s bringing chaos to your life. As much as you love your husband, all of this danger is coming from him. How can you say that? Finn hates this. He feels terrible that he’s -putting me in this situation. -I’m sure he does. I’m sure that he does. He can’t help who his biological mother is, that her sociopathic blood runs through Luna’s veins. And Hayes–I’m so terrified for that sweet, innocent boy. You know, behavior can be inherited. Mom, Mom, can you just please put your psychiatrist hat– just take it off, put it to the side. This isn’t-this isn’t helping, okay? You’re making me panic more than I already am. I’m sorry, sweetheart. I just wanna be prepared. You need to put your children before anything or anyone else. So what are you saying? You know what you need to do. [soft music plays] You don’t think Tom Starr’s my father either? I mean, I’ve had my doubts since day one of reading his letters saying that he wanted to see me and be involved in my life. I mean, could you imagine? My mom and him teaming up to raise me. That would have been a mess. I feel awful saying it, but… it might have turned out worse, if that’s even possible. I don’t know. With Tom, it always just– it felt wrong. I can’t explain it, but I feel it in my bones. No, your instincts are… …they’re right. They’re right. [sighs] Maybe you understand where I’m coming from because you always wondered about your birth parents. It was such a missing piece for me, not knowing who my father was. I had a mom who was always just half listening, going through the motions. She was always… looking for the next party. Well, that must have been hard. It was. Yeah, and the older I got, the-the deeper I crawled into myself. I retreated from the outside world, and… and I went to these like really dark places in my head. I was constantly wondering. I know that my life would have been better if I had a stable, loving male role model. Someone like you, Finn. You wanna leave Los Angeles? Maybe it’s best. Maybe you’re right. Au revoir, Carter Walton. [door slams shut] HOPE: Mm. Hey. Hey, Hope. Hi! So how did your talk with Daphne go? [suspenseful music plays] You want me to leave Finn. Break up my family. [sighs] You have to draw the line somewhere, Steffy. Mom, you know how important it is for me -to keep my family together. -Of course I do, and I want that more than anything, -but if your lives are at risk– -Luna can’t get to us. She’s not a threat anymore. Finn and Luna– they’re not in touch. She has no idea that he’s her father. Luna’s not the only problem. Sheila is as free as a bird, living a few miles away. Wait till she hears she has a granddaughter. She’ll probably try to break Luna out of prison herself. Oh, God. Oh, God. Your father and I have always tried to protect you, Steffy. We already lost one daughter, and– Two members of Finn’s family have already tried to kill you. Sweetheart, I’m not overreacting. I’m afraid that the environment here, this marriage, this house, it’s not safe. -Mom, this is my home. -I’m not suggesting that it has to be permanent. But I think it’s best if you pack up the kids and move into your grandfather’s. Come stay with your dad and me at Eric’s. I don’t expect anyone to feel sorry for me. Plenty of kids grow up without dads, and… they don’t come close to doing what I’ve done. I just know that I would have been a stronger person if… if I was raised in a… in a normal house with normal parents. At least, that’s what I like to tell myself, because… I’m so ashamed by who I became. I look back, and I don’t know who that girl is. But I did commit those crimes, and… those memories, they haunt me every night. Especially what I did to Steffy. She didn’t deserve that, Finn. She was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and… all I cared about was preserving my freedom and getting away with what I’d done. It was–it was cruel and-and selfish and evil. I don’t know how else to explain it, but it was truly like… like I left my body. That’s how I coped as a kid. I’d disassociate to the point where I felt like I could… escape my mom and the instability. And I became obsessed with this fantasy– if only I had a good guy in my life that would–that would come and save me from the chaos. I used to pray and pray that he’d come, that my father would– would magically appear and come take me away and… It would have helped so much to know what– what real love felt like, compassion and empathy. Oh, God. I didn’t know. I-I swear. It’s okay. No. It’s not okay. Your entire life you have longed to look into your father’s eyes… …and to see the man who helped bring you into this world, a man that can call you… his daughter. Look, that day has finally come. The day that you have waited an entire lifetime for, Luna. It’s me. I’m your father. [emotional instrumentals] Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc.
