Interview with director Jordan Canning of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 7/14/23

This was a fun interview. Jordan directed the most recent episode of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” Charades, where Spock and Chapel are in a shuttle accident and rescued by some aliens. When they fix up Spock, they leave out his Vulcan DNA, so he’s suddenly human.  He has to deal with all of the human emotions. Making it more difficult for him is that he has an important dinner with his fiancĂ©e, T’Pring, and her judgmental family. While Pike, Amanda (Spock’s mother) and the rest of the crew try to help Spock pretend to be Vulcan and get through the dinner, Chapel frantically searches for a way to reverse what the aliens did. It’s a fun episode and really showcases the talents of Ethan Peck (Spock) and Jess Bush (Chapel). I’ve been a Trekkie as long as I can remember, so it was awesome to speak to the episode’s director.Jordan Canning - Director and Anson Mount as Capt. Pike in episode 205 “Charades” of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, streaming on Paramount+, 2023. Photo Cr: Michael Gibson/Paramount+

Suzanne: Were you a fan of the show, or of the Star Trek franchise, before you started on this?

Jordan: Yeah, I was a big “[Star Trek: The] Next Generation” fan when I was a kid, and I probably watched, “[Star Trek IV] The Voyage Home” movie two dozen times. I loved that movie so much. And then, when I got the job, season one hadn’t aired yet, but I got to watch cuts of it. I had [seen] the season of “[Star Trek] Discovery” that had Spock in it… I think it’s season two. And then I got to watch season one [of “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” before it was fully finished, and I was like, “Oh my God, this show is so good!” I loved it because it really reminded me of NextGen. It had that same playfulness to it, and the episodic alien- or planet-of-the-week vibe. And yeah, I got even more excited about the job once I’d seen it.

Suzanne: Well, that’s cool. Now, please forgive my ignorant question here because I’ve mostly interviewed actors, but… as a director, how are you chosen, for a TV episode? Is there anything similar to an audition process?

Jordan: You know, often there’s an interview. Sometimes– usually, your agent would put you up for something. I think with this one, They had reached out to my agent about it. Because of my comedy work and because this was a comedic episode, they wanted a director who was good at comedy. And so, yeah, memory serves that when I got the call from Chris, I was like, “Okay, this is an interview.” And then he was like, “Yeah, you’re great. You got the job.” And I was like, “I did. Oh, okay. Great. Love it.”

Suzanne: It takes the pressure off.

Jordan: Yeah. I called my agent. I was like, “Oh, I think I got the job.”

Suzanne: So, when you direct an episode (I know it’s not like directing a movie), are you in charge, more or less, or is it more of a collaborative process with everybody?

Jordan: Well, I will say, always in TV… you’re sort of working towards the vision of the showrunner, who has the whole show in their head and knows how all the pieces fit together. And there’s usually already a style and tone of the show that’s been set since the pilot, or since at least the first first season that you’re trying to slot yourself into. But what’s really unique about “[Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” is [in reference to what you just said]: It is more like directing a movie. This was more like doing a movie than any TV episode I’ve done before because the episodes are more standalone. They approach them kind of like standalone movies of the week in terms of the tone and the style. And they really work hard to match a director with a script that works with them in terms of the style of the director or their strengths. So I was overjoyed by how much creative freedom I had on this episode. They sort of say, “Okay, you do a big sort of tone download with Henry, the showrunner.” And he’s like, “Okay, here’s the tone meeting.” And then they’re like, “Okay, how do you want to shoot it? How do you want to block it?” There aren’t these rigid rules about, [for example] “This is the way we shoot the closeups, this is when we use handheld, we don’t use handheld at all…” Yada, yada. You can use all of the sort of creative tools in your toolbox that serve the script and serve the story. So it was a real joy to be able to work on this and shape it so much.

Suzanne: That’s great. And, did you encounter any problems or glitches, or was it all smooth sailing?

Jordan: Well, we did… Ethan and I were talking yesterday, and both of us remembered at the same time that we had a COVID shutdown in the middle of our episode… but both of us had forgotten this, but he and Jess both got COVID in the middle of us shooting it. So we had to. There were no other scenes we could shoot because they were in everything. So we had to go down for a couple of weeks. I think the episodes are around 12 days? We’d probably shot maybe seven days, and then they got covid, so we had to go down for a couple of weeks. I think they started shooting the [next] episode and then we picked it back up once they were clear again. So that was kind of the only real, you know, problem.

Suzanne: That’s a pretty major one!

Jordan: Yeah, it was… it was great timing. But, yeah, you know, it happens. It happens so much.

Suzanne: Well, they shoot them pretty far in advance though, right?

Jordan: Oh yeah. Well, it’s such a long VFX post-production process.

Suzanne: Yeah.

Jordan: We were shooting, over a year ago. I shot my episode last May and June. So it was more than a year of [post-production].

Jordan Canning and Ethan Peck filming the episode Charades of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" on Paramount+.

Suzanne: Were you worried at all about dealing with such an iconic part of Star Trek history (Spock and the Vulcans), and how fans might react to that?

Jordan: I wanted to treat it with real respect and reverence because I knew that Spock being human for an episode is something that I think has been daydreamed about for many, many years– and decades even. So I knew that this was a very important, iconic thing that we were delivering. I wasn’t nervous about it. No, I just really wanted to be prepared. Ethan and I had so many conversations about how to do it properly and exactly how to fine tune his performance, so that it never felt untethered to the real Spock (who was there, you know, still inside this human Spock). And, you know, making sure that it never went too kind of broad. With comedy, it’s just about anchoring it in reality and not hitting the jokes over the head… playing everything like it’s real. And I think that’s why I find it so fun in this episode is: everybody gets a moment or more to show how great they are at comedy, you know? Everybody gets a fun moment…some great lines, [and] some great reactions. It’s a real showpiece, I think, for just how versatile all of these actors are. And in particular, Ethan and Jess. They really worked so hard on this episode and did such a beautiful job.

Suzanne: And it had such a great ending for the fans, too.

Jordan: And for me! I mean, that’s the end. I was like, “I love it.” I love a big smooch, you know…

Suzanne: And the nice thing about this episode, is that it took you back. If you were a fan of the original show, it took you back all the episodes where they split Kirk into two characters –one good, one bad…things like that.

Jordan: Yeah. Nice. Yeah. I mean, the canon of this is so fun to play in, and there, they take such care and consideration in writing all of these scripts.

Suzanne: Well, I really appreciate you talking to me and I enjoyed it. It was a good episode. Thank you very much.

Jordan: Thank you.

Update written by Suzanne

Lily and Daniel reminisce while unpacking, looking at old photos. They discuss placing a particular photo in a prominent spot, next to Lily’s father. Daniel jokes about a missing photo from their wedding in Vegas. Lily jokes that its absence will disappoint Lucy. They reflect on how much they’ve changed over the years. Meanwhile, Phyllis, disguised in a black outfit, meets Carson, the missing EMT, at the GAC. Phyllis expresses surprise and relief that he isn’t a trap set by Michael. However, she’s shocked to see Tucker, who reveals he’s her “miracle worker.” Phyllis is skeptical of his intentions.

At the Abbott Mansion, Diane encounters Kyle. They discuss his son, Harrison, and Diane asks if he asked for Summer. Kyle assures her it will take time for Harrison to adjust to the new situation. They acknowledge the challenges everyone is facing; Diane tries to initiate a conversation about Kyle’s marriage. However, Kyle tries to brush her off, claiming he has somewhere to be.

Chance finds Summer sitting alone, looking sad, at the coffee shop and teases her about drinking coffee at night. She says defensively that she had a craving for an iced latte.  She reveals some news: her mother is ready to turn herself in, with Michael as her attorney. Summer expresses hope that the nightmare will finally be over, but Chance is unsure if it’s good or bad news.

Phyllis assumes that Tucker has ulterior motives. She questions if the reward for her capture was not sufficient for him. Tucker assures her that it’s not about money and reveals he wants to make her an offer she won’t refuse. Phyllis remains suspicious and challenges his intentions.

Diane shares a glass of wine with Kyle and expresses her concern for him. She points out his tendency to run away and avoid emotional pain, mentioning his love for Summer and their life together. Kyle dismisses her worries, blaming Summer for the destruction of their marriage and claiming that his feelings for her no longer matter.

Chance and Summer discuss her mother’s decision to turn herself in. Chance questions her motives and expresses his doubts about everything being okay. Summer explains her mother’s desire to fix the damage she has caused and hopes that understanding the truth will result in lenient charges. Chance warns her about the challenges ahead and the difficulty of manipulating the law.

Phyllis confronts Tucker, questioning his involvement.  She suspects he might betray her. Tucker reveals that Carson can provide her freedom, and Tucker can support his son while he serves his sentence. He offers her peace of mind and a chance to bring down Diane, whom Phyllis despises. Tempted, Phyllis is hesitant but curious about Tucker’s motivations.

Daniel and Lily are kissing when they’re interrupted by a knock on the door. They try to ignore it, but the knocking persists, prompting Lily to answer. Nate appears at the door with a bottle of wine, welcoming Lily to the building and expressing his happiness about having family nearby. Daniel decides to make a quick exit, and Lily and Nate discuss their complicated history and strained relationship.

Tucker continues to persuade Phyllis, claiming that helping her can benefit his own future happiness. Phyllis questions his intentions and warns him about the pain she has caused and experienced. Tucker assures her he understands but insists they share something important. Phyllis demands an explanation for his actions. Tucker tells her about his and Ashley’s new company. He wants her to annoy Diane in order to distract her. He leaves Phyllis to think about.

Heather shows up at Phyllis door later. She has taken over Phyllis’s case. Phyllis is surprised and concerned about Michael’s absence, learning that he had to deal with a legal matter involving Gloria. Phyllis is frustrated, feeling that her murder trial is being neglected for another case.

Diane tries to have a conversation with Kyle about his marriage, but he claims that he has other commitments. Diane insists that the discussion is important, but Kyle shows little interest. He believes that ending the marriage was Summer’s choice and feels powerless in the situation.

Summer shares her frustrations with Chances about the secrets and lies that have damaged her life. She expresses her longing for her son and her desire to fix her marriage with Kyle. Summer speaks again about her mother’s readiness to turn herself in and take responsibility for her actions. Chance questions Phyllis’ sudden change of heart and warns her about the consequences they may face.

Phyllis is surprised by Heather’s arrival and expresses her concern about Michael’s absence. Heather assures her that she’s well-prepared and ready to represent her. Phyllis discusses the missing EMT, Carson, and expresses hope that he will resurface to support her claims of self-defense.

Heather gets a phone call and then informs Phyllis, Daniel, and Summer that Carson has been located and is willing to cooperate. Phyllis feels optimistic about the progress and expresses her determination to make amends for the damage caused. They discuss their next steps as they prepare to turn themselves in.

Diane tries to console Kyle, assuring him of her support. Kyle is skeptical, believing that Summer’s actions have irreparably damaged their marriage. Diane tries to emphasize the importance of forgiveness and moving forward, but Kyle remains resistant.

Lily and Nate have a heated discussion about their complicated relationship. Lily expresses her disappointment in Nate’s involvement with Victoria and how it reminds her of the betrayal they experienced. Nate defends his relationship with Victoria and insists on being respected for his choices.

Phyllis agrees to hire Heather as her attorney, acknowledging her capabilities. They discuss the progress made in locating Carson and express optimism for the outcome. Summer and Daniel express their gratitude to Heather for taking over the case.

Christine and Chance arrive at the location where Phyllis is supposed to turn herself in. They express doubts about whether they can trust the situation, despite Heather’s assurance. They acknowledge that Phyllis is unpredictable and could throw a wrench into their plans. Phyllis, Daniel, Summer, and Heather walk downstairs, catching Chance’s attention. Christine confronts Phyllis with anger, criticizing her for the havoc she has caused and the pain she has inflicted on those who care about her. She mentions the impact on Phyllis’s children and expresses her disdain for her actions. Phyllis tries to explain her motives, but Heather intervenes, preventing her from speaking further. Christine expresses her anticipation for Phyllis’s surrender and warns Heather about the challenging case she has taken on.

Chance proceeds to handcuff Phyllis, while Tucker secretly films the arrest nearby. Chance recites Phyllis’s rights as they prepare to leave for the station. Back at the Abbott mansion, Diane receives a notification on her phone and looks at it, with Kyle observing. Diane realizes it’s a video of Phyllis’s arrest, and Kyle confirms it, feeling despondent about the situation. Diane appears pleased with the news, but Kyle’s mood is gloomy.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Daniel humming ]

Daniel: This one definitely deserves a place of honor.

Lily: Ah, yes. I agree. Right next to Dad.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Lily: What do you think?

Daniel: It’s not bad. The only thing missing is a picture of us at our wedding in Vegas.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Daniel: Too bad we don’t have one, I think.

Lily: Oh, my god, Lucy’s going to be so bummed.

Daniel: She won’t let it go.

Lily: God, that was forever ago. I feel like we are two completely different people now.

Daniel: Definitely not the same crazy, impulsive kid I was then, you know?

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: I had no idea what life was about. Hell, not even the same person I was a year ago and it makes me glad. Everything now, it feels new and fresh and exciting.

Lily: Really? Everything?

Daniel: No. No, my mom is still the same as she ever was.

Phyllis: Oh, god. My god, it’s really you. For a second, I thought this was a trap.

Carson: No, it’s me.

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Carson: In the flesh.

Phyllis: I can’t believe that Michael’s really– I– I mean, he said that he was closing in on you, but I didn’t think it would be this soon. He’s a miracle worker.

Tucker: Actually, I’m your miracle worker.

Diane: Kyle.

Kyle: Hey. Um, Harrison is upstairs asleep and Linda will be with him ’til I get back.

Diane: Did he ask for his mommy?

Kyle: It will take a while for him to get adjusted.

Diane: Yeah, for everyone.

Kyle: Don’t wait up.

Diane: Uh, Kyle, c– could we please talk?

Kyle: I have some place to be, Mom.

Diane: Well, this is important. It’s about your marriage.

Chance: You know, cops drink coffee at night to stay awake. What’s your excuse?

Summer: Uh, can a girl just crave an iced latte?

Chance: If it cheers you up, sure.

Summer: I actually have some news for you.

Chance: Hm. Can’t tell if that’s good or bad.

Summer: My mom is ready to turn herself in. Michael is officially her attorney and this nightmare might finally be over.

Phyllis: Son of a bitch. It’s you. Wha– is SWAT coming? Is Christine leading the parade? You didn’t get a big enough settlement from Stark? I mean, I was going to turn myself in, but not this way.

Tucker: It’s not what you think, Phyllis.

Phyllis: The reward wasn’t big enough? Is this about the reward?

Tucker: There’s a reward? It doesn’t matter. It’s not about money.

Phyllis: Everything is about money with you.

Tucker: The cops are not going to bust down the door. I simply want to make you an offer and I think you’re going to want to hear it.

Kyle: I didn’t realize it was going to be this kind of talk.

Diane: Here you go.

Kyle: Thanks, but I really do have some place to be.

Diane: Kyle, I’m worried about you.

Kyle: I understood. You’re worried. I’m fine.

Diane: No, you’re not. Every time I see you, you’re running out the door.

Kyle: Okay, it’s called living my life.

Diane: No, it’s called avoiding the pain. I know how much you love Summer and– and– and your– your life together, your family.

Kyle: Summer had other priorities, didn’t she?

[ Diane sighing ]

Diane: Look, I’m sure she regrets everything she did. Kyle, it doesn’t mean your marriage is over.

Kyle: Well, you– you say that like ending my marriage was my choice. Summer burnt it to the ground with every decision she made, so how I feel or don’t feel, it doesn’t really matter.

Chance: Your mother wants to turn herself in? It sounds like you’ve been in touch. What happened to working as friends to find Phyllis?

Summer: No, I didn’t say that I know where she is. But now that she is ready to come forward, everything’s going to be okay.

Chance: Summer, I think you and I have very different definitions of that word.

Summer: All I know, chance, is that my mom really wants to come home.

Chance: Why now?

Summer: She realizes the damage she’s done. The people that she’s hurt and she wants to fix what she can.

Chance: Well, I hope she knows that some things are going to be tougher to fix than others. How you doing with the separation?

Summer: I hate it. It’s part of why she’s coming back, actually. She feels responsible. She wants to do the right thing.

Chance: Well, does doing the right thing involve facing charges because that will happen.

Summer: I know. And yes, she accepts that.

Chance: Really? Because prison time is the reason she refused to turn herself in the first place, and now she’s just okay with it? What’s changed?

Summer: I think that she’s hoping once everybody understands what actually happened, the charges won’t be too harsh.

Chance: Well, I really hope that doesn’t mean trying to manipulate the law because I will not turn a blind eye and neither will Christine.

Phyllis: There is nothing you can offer me, Tucker.

Tucker: Your freedom. Standing right there. Courtesy of me. Not Michael. Not Victor. Me. I am your salvation, Phyllis. I’m your one shot at not spending years behind bars. So, please. I think you’re at least open to a conversation.

Phyllis: But if I’m not open to a conversation?

Tucker: You know, what I giveth, I can taketh it away.

Phyllis: How do you know about this?

Tucker: Michael and your kids. They’re very worried. So… determined to fight for you, to find this man. Even Victor is pitching you. Because Carson’s testimony substantiates your claim that Stark coerced you into your crimes. Isn’t that right?

Carson: Stark was one scary dude. He made it real clear. If I didn’t fall into line, he would kill me.

Tucker: Right. Which I believe would go a long way in supporting your claim of self-defense.

Phyllis: It was self-defense.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Tucker: Yeah, of course it was. And he’ll testify that he witnessed the attack and saw you kill Stark in self-defense.

Phyllis: What’s the catch?

Tucker: No catch. Just peace of mind for our friend here. I’m going to support his mom financially while he does his time. And he’ll have a clean conscience, right? Uh, and perhaps a lighter sentence from having come forward.

Phyllis: How do I know this isn’t just a lie? That if I turn myself in… you– you’re not gonna just throw me under the bus?

Tucker: She’s a hard sell.

Phyllis: Does Michael know about this?

Tucker: No, not yet.

Phyllis: There’s nothing between us. I don’t understand why you would want to help me. I don’t understand why you’re doing this. I can’t wrap my head around whatever is going on here.

Tucker: There is something between us though, something very important we share.

Phyllis: I want you to tell me what this is all about.

[ Knocking on door ]

Daniel: Mm, no, no, no. Just ignore it. It’ll go away.

[ Lily chuckling ]

[ Knocking on door]

Lily: Okay, whoever it is they’re not going away. I’m sorry, hold on. Nate.

Nate: Hello, neighbor.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Nate: Welcome. Daniel, it’s good to see you.

Daniel: Yep.

Lily: Uh, this was not necessary.

Nate: What are you talking about? My cousin just moved in across the hall. I couldn’t be happier. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Lily: Uh, actually, yeah, we were just–

Daniel: No, no. I was just leaving. Congratulations on the new place. If you need any tips about decorating you know where to find me.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Bye.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Uh, so?

Nate: I really am glad you’re here. I’m looking forward to us seeing more of each other.

[ Nate clears throat]

Lily: You are?

Nate: Yes, of course. And I was hoping we could celebrate by having a glass of wine.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Yeah, I mean, look, we can have a glass of wine, but I can’t just sit and chat like nothing ever happened between us.

Tucker: By helping another… you build your own future happiness.

Phyllis: I don’t even know what that’s supposed to mean. Uh, listen, if you’re not straight with me, I’m just going to be leaving, okay?

Tucker: Nah, you’re not going to be leaving. Because I am the key to your future happiness, so I don’t think you’re going to walk out on that. I think you’re going to be grateful. I think… possibly indebted to me for my generosity.

Phyllis: Ah, I get it. I get it. So, I accept what you’re offering and I’m indebted to you or you go away, right?

[ Phyllis scoffing ]

Tucker: That’s right. Uh… thank you for your time, Carson. Uh, why don’t you go ahead and head back to the suite? Order whatever you’d like from room service. Watch a good movie.

Carson: Whatever you say, Mr. McCall.

Tucker: Thank you.

Phyllis: How did you do that? I mean, how did you convince him to testify on my behalf? How do you know he’s not just going to disappear?

Tucker: Everyone has their price and he’s not going to disappear unless I tell him to.

Phyllis: All right, so I have to agree to everything you’re saying or he goes, bye-bye?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. He can either be paid to stick around and cooperate or he can be paid to vanish. Never look back.

Phyllis: What’s going on? What do you want from me?

Tucker: So… while you were on the lam in that… delightful hat and sunglasses get up there, Ashley and I got engaged. I think that’s where you’re supposed to say, “Gee, Tucker, congratulations.” No? Okay. Anyway, we also started a new company. Simply “Ashley Cosmetics.”

Phyllis: Ah, okay. We need another cosmetic company, that’s for sure.

Tucker: This is not going to be just another cosmetic company. We’re going to have all of Ashley’s patents, which we will have rested from Jabot, and then we are going to take Jabot and we are going to… grind it into a fine powder and then scoop it up for pennies on the dollar.

Phyllis: My eyes are glazing over.

Tucker: But when we take over Jabot, Diane is going to be the major challenge, as I assume you know she has been promoted to the C-suite. Ergo, we would like her out of the way.

Phyllis: Out of the way?

Tucker: Um, di– distracted. Thrown off her game in whatever way possible and what better way to achieve that than to have you return? All your glory. Vindicated and Victorious.

Phyllis: Right. So… you give me my freedom… so I can come back to town and screw Diane over.

Tucker: You got it.

Diane: Kyle, for all of the advantages that you’ve had in your life, seeing what a healthy long-term relationship looks like hasn’t been one of them. There– there are ebbs and flows, there’s compromise and forgiveness.

Kyle: No, no, no, I have a son whose mother has made it very clear she has no problem putting herself first. That is no way to raise a child. I will protect my son. So, if this is about you pushing me to forgive someone–

Diane: All right, just stop. Stop! I was that mother.

Kyle: Hey, hey, that was different.

Diane: No, no, and– and– and you forgave me, and you were hurt and you were angry, just like you are right now.

Kyle: Okay, okay, even if I could forgive Summer, I know who she is. There’s no way I would be able to trust her not to do something like this again.

Diane: Well, you just… put your faith in the love you have, the– the foundation that you’ve built, and you just– you just hang on until you get to the other side. Look, I know– I know that you still love Summer.

Kyle: How am I able to maintain a relationship after what she and her mother did? And it’s not like Phyllis is gone for good. She will be back soon, whispering in Summer’s ears and who knows what they will do next.

Diane: All right, Summer knows that what she did was wrong and she is trying to repair things. Kyle, are you really ready to– to throw away the life that you’ve created together?

Kyle: You know what I don’t get? Is why you’re on Summer’s side? Because she is clearly more like Phyllis than any of us suspected.

Phyllis: So, you want me to come back into town to terrorize Diane? This is what I’ve been doing. This is what got me here.

Tucker: I understand. This time is going to be different. I have a new approach.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, first, I’m not going to help you take down a company that owns my daughter’s company, I’m not going to do that. Okay? My daughter’s company is part of Jabot. And second, I– I don’t want to be near Diane. I don’t wanna continue that. That war is over. I don’t want to be a part of it.

Tucker: You don’t have to be a part of any war. That’s all being fought by Ashley and me. And I promise you, Marchetti will come out of this unscathed. All I want you to be is a presence. A… you know, irritating, fingernails on chalkboard, constant presence in Diane’s life.

Phyllis: Just my presence is required.

Tucker: Yeah. You’ve– you’ve scared more than enough people just being present.

Phyllis: This is your new approach?

Tucker: Yeah. It’s very simple. Just be the– the tipping point that pushes Diane over the edge. All while enjoying this new freedom I’m providing for you. What do you say? Or I can happily send Carson away. You can forget about the whole thing. And one of the perks that you might be overlooking is that… you’ll be bringing down a woman you absolutely hate. Diane will lose her fancy position at Jabot, her marriage to Jack, crumble. What’s not to love?

Phyllis: There has been so much pain.

Tucker: Yeah.

Phyllis: So much pain. I can’t go through that pain anymore, Tucker.

Tucker: I understand.

Phyllis: Do you understand?

Tucker: I do understand. Yeah, so maybe, the best thing to do is look on the bright side. I’m sure that you’ve got… a lot of amends to make, yeah? Your daughter. You blew up her marriage, right? So maybe, you start there. I know that Jack and Kyle might be a harder sell, but you will appeal to their mercy. They forgave Diane, for god’s sakes. I have faith that they would welcome you back to the family and into the community. And you can resume the life that you loved. Okay? It’s up to you. Oh, and… we never had this conversation. Understand?

Summer: Just ready for this to be over. I’m so tired of the secrets. Worrying and… being the bad guy. I have lost so much. And I miss it. You know, I miss… Harrison. How he would jump into our bed in the morning to snuggle, and… I miss Kyle. And the way that he would look at me. Like it was just me and him.

Chance: I’m sorry.

Summer: It’s my fault. Right? I mean, I gutted my marriage with lies. And Kyle might not ever forgive me, and I might not deserve to be forgiven. Have you forgiven Abby for what she did?

Chance: Oh, um… it’s a process. But time helps.

Summer: I don’t want to wait. I’ve loved Kyle since I was a teenager. I mean, no matter who else I’ve been with, other relationships, I mean, it was always him. Always, and he is the person that I want. Our life, that is the life that I want, so I just need to figure out a way to fix my marriage, you know, and that can’t happen until this mess is behind us, so… I am glad that my mom is finally, ready to come home.

Chance: Even though you’ll face charges.

Summer: The first step to getting back to any sense of normalcy is… taking responsibility for what I did to help my mom and the damage that I did to my marriage.

Christine: Ah, you seem deep in conversation. Is there something I should know?

[ Knocking on door ]

Phyllis: Hey, Heather. Did Daniel–

Heather: Send me? Yes, he did. I’m taking over your case.

Phyllis: What? No, no, no, no, no, no. I– I mean, wh– where’s Michael?

Heather: Michael is on a plane to Singapore, where apparently, Gloria has gotten herself into a serious legal entanglement.

Phyllis: What– oh, my god. What? What? I mean, he’s– he’s dumping my murder trial for illegal entanglement?

Heather: It’s his mother.

Phyllis: It’s Gloria! Yeah, she’s always in a legal mess. Oh, my god. No! No! I can’t do this without Michael. I can’t do it.

Heather: I understand. But unfortunately, he’s gone. And I get it. If you don’t want me to represent you for a variety of reasons, but I’m up to speed on your case and Daniel urged me to do this. It was his idea that I step in. He was with Michael when Michael got the call from Gloria. Fortunately, I was in Savannah.

Phyllis: I– I mean, I don’t– I don’t know. I don’t– I don’t know. I don’t know.

Heather: Look, Phyllis, we don’t have to like each other, okay? You can still hate me for what happened with Daniel.

Phyllis: I don’t hate you.

Heather: I’m here, Phyllis. And I’m good. So, what’s it going to be?

Chance: Well, there could be some movement with Phyllis soon, but as far as actionable detail, nothing we can move on right at this minute.

Christine: I know you’re loyal to your mom, but have you considered the damage this is doing to your life?

Summer: I’m well aware. I– I better go. Thanks for listening.

Christine: So, what does movement mean?

Chance: Well, apparently, Phyllis is ready to turn herself in.

Christine: I don’t know if I believe that. And if it’s true, there’s an angle. There’s always an angle with Phyllis. Something to get her out of the punishment she deserves.

Chance: You think Baldwin could have a legal ace up his sleeve?

Christine: I mean, just can’t think of any ace that would balance out Phyllis’s multitude of crimes. But I have no doubt they will sure as hell try.

Nate: Welcome to the building.

Lily: Thank you.

Nate: Looks like you’re settling in.

Lily: Yeah, just you know, getting started.

Nate: If you need any help, any info about the building…

Lily: Thanks, I– I have Devon for that.

Nate: Of course.

Lily: Look, Nate. [ Sighing ] We’re family, you know, and what made me sad, and my dad’s tribute, those things reminded me of that. And so, I am trying really hard to get back to a place where we are just family. Where there’s no anger, no resentment. But that’s going to take time, okay? I can’t just sit here with you and have a glass of wine and chat like you didn’t stab Devon and me in the back.

Nate: I will always regret what I did. And I will continue to say that until you believe me.

Lily: Right. Well, I mean, it worked out great for you, right? You’re Victoria’s number two and you’re number one in her heart.

Nate: My position is temporary. I’m just grateful she sees my potential.

Lily: Yeah, professionally and personally.

Nate: I won’t apologize for my relationship with Victoria.

Lily: I’m not asking you to. But, I mean, she did try to steal Chancellor-Winters with your help. So, I don’t think we’re going to go on a double date anytime soon.

Nate: Victoria is a brilliant, dynamic woman. She’s become very special to me, so if she’s the deal breaker here, I’m sorry. There’s nothing I can do about that.

Phyllis: I mean, I don’t have the luxury of time, you know, I– I could try to get in touch with Amanda, but she’s maybe on the other side of the world or something. So, I mean– wow. I know you’re good, Heather. I know you’re– you’re better than good. I know this. You’re hired.

Heather: Excellent. Let’s get to work.

Phyllis: Okay. So, um, did Michael tell you about the guy, Carson? Trying to locate him? I mean, the EMT?

Heather: Who came forward with the statement substantiating your claims of coercion and self-defense.

Phyllis: Right. Right. That would be my ticket out of jail, right?

Heather: According to Michael, his team was closing in on the guy, and then, he just– he disappeared.

Phyllis: Hm. Well, hm… let– let’s stay on that. You know, keep looking for him because, um, I have a feeling he’s going to show up sooner or later.

Heather: What would make you feel that?

Phyllis: Well, I have to be optimistic, don’t I?

Heather: I suppose so.

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Hi.

Phyllis: Hey.

Daniel: Are you– you still okay with this?

Phyllis: Well, sure. I mean, I– I’d rather have Michael, of course. I don’t– no disrespect, Heather.

Heather: I get it.

Daniel: Thank you for this.

Summer: Yes, thank you so much.

Daniel: Was Michael’s team able to find Carson?

Summer: Yeah, can Mom turn herself in?

Heather: They were getting close, and then–

[ Phone ringing ]

Heather: Excuse me? It’s Michael’s private investigator. “We’ve located our man. He actually came to us and he’s willing to cooperate.”

Summer: That’s good.

Daniel: That’s great. That’s great news.

Phyllis: Wow, that is terrific news.

Heather: I guess you were right to be so optimistic.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, you know, I manifested it and it came to be, right? So, um… well, okay, here we go. Um… I have a lot to do. I have to make up all the damage that’s been done.

Summer: Are you really ready to turn yourself in, Mom?

Phyllis: Yeah. The stakes are too high. I have to do it. So, what’s the next step? What do I do now?

Heather: Okay. Hi, chance, it’s Heather. Heather Stevens. I’ve taken over for Michael Baldwin representing Phyllis Summers. I’m with my client right now. Phyllis is ready to turn herself in.

Diane: I am not on Summer’s side, I am on yours. Kyle, wait, listen to me. I am on your side, only and always. Summer did a horrible thing and I don’t excuse her for it, but I am trying to look past it for your sake. If that’s what you want. I will not be the reason that you don’t have love in your life, so if it means ignoring Summer’s sins, then that’s what I’ll do.

Kyle: Look, I know you want to help, Mom, but I have to get through this my own way. And I will, okay?

[ Diane sighing ]

Kyle: You’re a good mom.

[ Diane laughing ]

Diane: Wasn’t always.

Kyle: Hey, hey, hey. Whatever happened in the past, you’re a good mom right in this second. I love you for it.

Diane: And I love you too. So much.

Kyle: Then, trust me. I’m doing what I need to do to take care of myself. You don’t have to worry.

[ Diane sighing ]

Lily: Honestly, I’m surprised that you’re even enamored with Victoria. Or is it just that she’s useful to you?

Nate: You’re never going to give me a chance, are you?

Lily: Honestly, Nate, this is me trying. [ Laughing ]

Nate: Then, let’s clear the air once and for all. My feelings for Victoria are very real. You don’t have to like her, but you do have to respect my decision. Otherwise, there’s no point in us talking about being a family.

Lily: How do you not realize that you dating Victoria throws everything that you two did to Devon and me in our faces? Do you really think that we’re just going to forget that?

Nate: Lily, did you forget that Devon tried to take you to court? Or did you forget that Devon and Abby cheated on Amanda and Chance, got caught red-handed? Humiliated them, but they’re treated like the happy new couple in town. Everyone’s moved on. I am just as happy with Victoria, but all you and everyone else can see is the past. I admit it. I crossed a line. And I am sorry I hurt Elena, but the truth is, I’ve never been more comfortable in my own skin than I am now, with Victoria.

Lily: Yeah, Nate, that’s what’s scary. It’s terrifying because Elena was your conscience, and Victoria can’t give you that. I mean, she’s pushing you to be bigger and better and collateral damage be damned.

Nate: For the record, I made the effort tonight.

Lily: Yeah.

Nate: But this is over. Enjoy the wine.

[ Door slamming ]

Christine: Well, this is where she said Phyllis would turn herself in.

Chance: If she’s been here this whole damn time–

Christine: You know, given how this is all played out, I don’t know if we can trust any of this. Even if Heather says it’s happening.

Chance: Well, if there was ever a wild card, it’s Phyllis, right? Where are you going?

Christine: You have outdone yourself. And who knew that was even possible? You have put this town through hell. You’ve devastated the people that love you, you’ve wasted public resources, and now, you just waft down the stairs like you’re some kind of prom queen? And your children. Who grieved you for dead right with you, even though one of them will be facing charges because of you. I hope you appreciate their loyalty, no matter what it costs them because it’s a hell of a lot more than you deserve.

Phyllis: Well, my children know I love them, Christine. They know that the reason I did what I did was–

Heather: My client will not be speaking until we get to the station.

Christine: It can’t happen soon enough. Good luck, Heather. You’re going to need it. You have stepped into one mess of a case.

Chance: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have right to hire a lawyer and have one present with you while you’re being questioned. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed to you by the state. Come on.

Diane: Okay, Mom talk is over. You are free to go wherever you’re off to.

[ Phone chiming ]

Diane:  Excuse me. Tucker? Oh, my god. Is this what I think it is?

Kyle: Phyllis being arrested. Summer right by her side.

[ Diane scoffing ]

[ Kyle sighing ]

Announcer: Next week on “The Young And The Restless”.

Chance: I just– I love seeing you this way.

Heather: All I’m asking is that you keep an open mind. Don’t let your hatred for Phyllis keep you from doing the right thing.

Summer: Damn it! Just admit that you slept with Audra. You can give me that much at least–

Kyle: I am not doing this here.

Summer: Just yes or no. Say it!

Kyle: Summer.

Summer: Tell me the truth!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door closes ] Don’t move. The details are not mine to tell, but our daughter is considering doing something that I believe she is completely unprepared to do. And you want me to be the bad guy? I just don’t understand what happened. I was so sure that I could take those clothes. How could I have misunderstood deception’s arrangement with logan’s? It’s all over now. Pcpd let you go. Maxie took care of everything with logan’S. They dropped the charges, and no one’s mad at you.

[ Sighs ] God. When you’re the one pointing out the silver lining…

[ Chuckles ] I know. I know. You look tired. Have you taken your afternoon meds?

[ Sighs ] I am tired. I’m gonna go splash some water on my face, and then I’m gonna take my pills. Good.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello? Oh, hi. I’m glad you called. I am so sorry I rushed out of the store like that. Yeah, I definitely want the coat and the belt. And you know what? I’ll just take it all.

[ Chuckles ] Use the card on file. Um, and can you send it over today?

[ Knock on door ] Great. Uh… that’d be great. Thank you. Oh, god. You’re the last thing we need right now. No, you scared the hell out of me. For the hundredth time, I’m sorry. Okay, great. Now, will you finally tell me why you basically abducted me and took five years off my life? Only after you tell me why you’re following cody. I wasn’t following cody. Actually, I was following selina wu. But why do you think I was following cody? Is he in trouble? Yes, I think he’s in trouble. And from the way things look, I don’t think I can get him out of it. Did curtis make it through surgery? Uncle curtis made it through the surgery. All: Oh! Nina: [ Laughs ] Dr. Barnsdall… were you able to remove the bullet? We were. But the bullet left significant damage.

What’s going on? Well, I saw this guy hanging around outside your house. I identified myself, and he ran, and he was also carrying, so I took him down. Okay. Come on. Up you get. Recognize him? No, I’ve never seen him before. Oh, mickey vasquez. You know him? Yeah, he works for sonny. What the hell are you doing here? Taking a walk, enjoying the pretty houses. Oh, really? Is it a crime to take an afternoon stroll now? Okay, I’ll tell you how this is gonna go — one of three ways. You tell me what you were doing here, or I take you down to the station and you tell me, or I ask sonny about it. It’s okay, dante. I know why he’s here. Tj, has curtis woken up yet? Not yet. Can we see him? Mr. Ashford is being moved to icu. Once he’s settled, he can have one visitor at a time. Thank you, doctor. I’ll keep you posted. So, what’s the, uh, best way to do this? Should we wait here or what? There’s a waiting room right outside the icu. Maybe we can all wait there. Yeah. Okay. You go ahead. I’ll catch up. You want me to say no. That way, I’m the bad parent, and kristina’s mad at me, not you. She never gets mad at you. She always gets mad at me. Well, maybe we should consider why that’s true. Oh, I know why that’s true. It’s because she thinks everything you say is awesome and everything I say is critical and judgmental. I thought you and kristina and everything was fine. We are, which is why I don’t want to screw it up. I want you to get screwed up. She values your opinion. Maybe because I don’t criticize her or judge her. Maybe it’s because you tell her everything she wants to hear, and I tell her everything she needs to hear. And I’ve already weighed in on this, so you weigh in. Okay. So, you want me to tell her it’s a bad idea, whatever it is. I’m not telling you what to say. Oh, are you going to have cue cards for me or feed the lines through earbuds? Maybe you won’t even agree with me. But you think I will. Any normal, rational person would. See, that’s where there’s friction. I’m telling you that kristina is going to do something because she thinks it’s a good thing to do. And what I know is that she’s not thinking about how this is going to affect the rest of her life. Okay, this sounds serious. So, you need to tell me what kind of trouble kristina’s headed for. I’m going to call sonny and maxie. I promised to update them as soon as we heard something. Yeah. Oh, hey. Oh, my god. It’s such a relief. I was so worried. My uncle is still in critical condition. Yeah, no, I know. So, it’s a little early to start celebrating, don’t you think? Well, he made it out of surgery, so I was, you know, being positive. Do you understand that my uncle could have died? Yes. That he could st– whoa, wait, molly. Kristina. Not now. What? No.

[ Laughing ] No, I wasn’t talking to you. I have some idiot knocking on my door.

[ Knock on door ] So you’ll send it over, right? Thank you so much.

[ Knocking continues ]

[ Sighs ] Can you not take a hint? No. Sorry. I’m really dense that way. This is not a good time. Well, good thing I’m not here to see you. Cody. Hey, I got your message. Sorry I couldn’t answer the phone. You were, what, at the police station? You called cody? Well, chase couldn’t reach you, so I used my one phone call to call cody. Why? Wait. You know what? Don’t answer that. It doesn’t matter. I’m glad you see it that way. But what does matter is that cowboy cody here couldn’t bother to show up. He didn’t even take time to answer your call. What was more important than helping sasha out in her time of need?

Is the pcpd running surveillance on the savoy? What’s your interest in selina wu? I think that she may have roped cody into something shady. Like what? Uh… you know, he’s a really good card player. You can relax, sam. I know all about selina wu’s illegal poker game. I get it. He had a concealed carry permit. He wasn’t really doing anything wrong. I know why he was here. I know why he was armed. Yeah, sonny sent him here. Yeah. Speaking of guns, you always toting that thing around, or is that because of the shooting at the metro court pool? Uh, many reasons. Mm. Have we heard anything about curtis? Guess he’s, uh, in surgery. Oh, wow. Okay. If you hear anything or get word, please let me know. Yeah, of course. Are you busy right now? Can I run something by you? Officially? No, not yet. All right. So… I have reason to believe that i was the sniper’s target, not sonny. Right. I mean, that would explain why you went up to the room that the sniper was set up in. You know about that? Yeah, of course. And, officially, I have to tell you that you’re not law enforcement anymore, so you can’t do that. Copy that. I’m the one who has to investigate. I see. All right. Got it. All right, good. Now we got that out the way, I will tell you why I am here is because I wanted to know your impressions of the crime scene. The pool area? No, the room the sniper was in. I mean, do you think we missed anything? No. There was nothing to notice. Right? It was clean as a whistle. Yeah. I mean, other than what you found — a discarded rifle, the ammo. No, it was clearly a professional. Yeah, definitely. I heard that the rifle is a ghost gun? So it was assembled at home, not mass manufactured, which means it’s untraceable. It is. So the weapon’s a dead end. Maybe not as much of a dead end as you might think. ‘Cause I was able to trace where that rifle came from. I’ve said all I can say. Now, your job is to get her to open up on her own accord. Just tell me if kristina’s in any kind of danger. It’s nothing like that. If that were the case, I would tell you.

[ Cellphone rings ] Okay. Uh, hold on. It could be something about curtis. Hey. Hi. Hi. So, curtis, he’s out of surgery, but there were complications. Like what? Well, that’s just it. The doctors don’t know how extensive the damage is. They’re bringing curtis to the icu right now. Do they think he could be paralyzed? No. The doctors didn’t say anything like that. I hope not. I am so worried about him. We all are. Is he — is curtis holding his own? Yeah, he is. Okay, focus on that. That’s all that matters. Thank you. You always give me great advice, and you always know how to make me feel better. You headed home? No, not yet. You know, maxie left me this vague voicemail. I have to follow up with her. She said that something happened with sasha. Nothing to say. Gladys… oh, I have a few things to say. First, I don’t owe you any explanations for anything. I’m not asking you to explain your hurtful and negligent behavior to me. I’m asking you to explain it to sasha, the poor woman you abandoned when she was under scrutiny by the authorities. Okay, that’s enough. Second, yes. I might not have been available to answer sasha’s call, but the reason that she was calling me in the first place is ’cause no one could reach you. So what were you up to, gladys? You care to share? Don’t make this about me. Okay, gladys, just knock it off. Cody had no obligation to answer my call. We’re not even friends. Oh. Is that right? In fact, I am not even sure why I called him. Must’ve been an old impulse. Well, for what it’s worth, I’m glad that you called me. I wish I could have helped. Oh, well, if wishes were horses, you could ride them all the way out of town. So get along, little dogie, and don’t — gladys, gladys… can I talk to cody alone, please?

[ Breathes deeply ] Fine. But if he gives you any trouble, just let out a blood-curdling scream. I am so sorry about that. I don’t care about gladys. Are you okay? I screwed up, cody — big-time. Hi. I know it must have been rough in there, observing in the O.R. While they were operating on curtis. It must have been scary. It was. Not a great sign if I want to be a surgeon, is it? This wasn’t just any surgery, T.J. Well, let’s just say I now have an even greater understanding of why doctors are not allowed to operate on their loved ones. Because seeing my uncle laying there, not knowing if he’d ever walk again, that… that was horrible.

[ Monitors beeping ] Trina: Mom? Yes, sweetheart? Could curtis still die? Well, from what dr. Barnsdall said, his condition… it’s still precarious. But we have faith in him. We all do. And we are going to get through this together. As a family. Including curtis. Mm-hmm. One of you can go in. Portia: Oh. Why don’t you go ahead and go see your dad? Are you sure? Mm-hmm. Go on in there. Tell your father we’re waiting on him. Okay. I will.

[ Monitors beeping ] Dad. It’s started.

So how were you able to trace an untraceable rifle? Well, I’m glad you asked, anna. It was one of 72 rifles that were impounded back in 2021. By your lot, the pcpd? Wsb. That rifle should be locked up in berlin, not out on the streets. The sniper has ties to the bureau? Like a former agent or something? Maybe a current one. I don’t know. Maybe your resignation wasn’t enough. What are you saying? That the bureau wants me dead? Hey, molls. Is everything okay with T.J.? Yeah, he’ll — he’ll be fine. Uh, we’re just upset about curtis. I’m gonna go to the icu. Oh, okay. But it seemed like something was off with him earlier at the savoy, too. Kristina, leave it alone. So there is something. Kristina, enough is enough. Wait. But — not everything is about you.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Monitors beep loudly ] What? What is it? I’m sorry. Did something happen? No, no, no. Nothing. Nothing happened. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. He was just so still. Um… I didn’t recognize him. I just got scared. I’m sorry. Oh, honey, there’s nothing to apologize for. No, nothing.

[ Sniffles ] You should go in there, and, uh… I’ll be in there later. A-are you sure? We’ll take care of it. Go. Please. I don’t want him to be alone. You know about the poker game. Great. It’ll save us some time. How long? Between you and me, we’ve known for months. Which is why we’ve been staking out the savoy. Are you going after curtis? The target is selina wu. If curtis is involved, it’s not because he wants to be. Okay, so if the pcpd has been running surveillance for months, why haven’t you made your move? What’s — what’s taking so long? Oh, it’s because you don’t want cody getting caught in the trap you set for selina. I thought deceptio n had a blanket agreement with logan’s — that I could go in and take the things that I wanted. I didn’t realize that I had to ask first. I mean, it sounds to me like an honest mistake, right? Thank you. Well, it’s all over now, right? Or will there be any charges? No. No. Fortunately, the store dropped the charges. I’m just not sure I’m ever allowed back there.

[ Breathes deeply ] All I ever wanted was to get willow a gift. She’s my best friend, and she almost died, cody. Yeah. Oh, my god. I need to tell michael and willow what happened. Hey, hey, sasha, sasha. Look, look, I — I bet michael and willow will understand. Okay? Can you finish the conversation with me right now? Yeah. Um… okay. Sure. That really is the end of the story, though. I’m so sorry that I had you come all the way over here. I will never bug you like that again. You can always call me whenever you need me. I’m just sorry I couldn’t answer the phone. It’s okay. We’re all busy people. I mean, you have your own life, right? Yeah, right.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, god. I hope that’s not the police coming to arrest me again. Hi! I am so relieved that you are okay. You — you are okay, right? Oh, it’s you.

[ Chuckles ] Did you expect someone else? It’s none of your damn business. Did you call nina? No. Why — why — why would I? No, no — maxie. She left me a message. She said that you were at the pcpd, but you were coming home. What is going on? Oh. Uh, gladys, do you mind filling nina in? Oh, gladly. Sasha: I’m so thirsty. Do you want anything? Oh, yeah, sure. Gladys? Nina? No. Gladys: I’m fine. You take care of you. S-should I be worried?

[ Sighs ] Our girl’s in trouble. So you’re gonna check in with our daughter? I’m gonna give kristina a call, but if she doesn’t confide in me, I’m not gonna push her. Of course you’re not. All right. I’m headed off to my editor, and I’m going to stop at the hospital first. I think kristina’s there. Nudge, nudge. I was gonna stop by anyway.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Wait. Everything all right? Yeah. There’s just something I got to take care of.

There are several factors that contradict the idea that this would be a wsb-sanctioned hit, foremost being it was unsuccessful. Yeah, but come on, you know, even the best-laid plans, they can go awry when you’re out in the field. Anything can happen. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Okay. Excuse me. But I know who this is. Sonny: Anna. Yeah. Open up. I was expecting you. Come in. I got a text from mickey. Yeah, mickey, I’m glad I ran into him. Saves me a trip to come and visit you, actually. And I did say how much I appreciated the idea that if I needed any help, I would ask for it. Well, that’s what I’m doing. No, I know, but the problem with that is, I didn’t ask. I’d apologize, but I don’t apologize for putting a person on you to keep you safe. I apologize because the person I put on you got caught. Next person I put on you, you know what? He’s gonna be invisible and silent. You should send a ninja.So that — so that way I don’t have to apologize for keeping you safe. Okay. Well, that’s a shame, ’cause you could certainly use the practice. Okay. On a different note, I talked to nina. Curtis made it out of surgery. He gonna be okay? It’s touch and go, but he’s alive. There’s nothing more important than that at this point. Here’s what concerns me. The shooter — who was he targeting? Happy you brought that up because I got a question for you. Do I need an attorney? No. But can you think of any reason why the wsb would want you dead? Great. So now you’re mad at me, too? What’d I do? Nothing — yet. What do you mean “yet”? Why are you acting like this? I just — I know you, kristina, and you’re never gonna let it go. Okay. Uh, molls, I’m gonna need a translator for this conversation. I overheard you at the savoy telling sam and mom that you could give T.J. What I can’T. What? Ew. And that doesn’t even sound like me. Did you forget the part that I heard you? You know that I have no interest in T.J. No, I know that. Okay. So then what the hell are we talking about here? You want to give T.J. A baby since I can’T.

[ Monitors beeping ] Curtis. I’m here. I’m right here with you. Your dad, trina, aunt stella, they’re right outside, too. And T.J., He’s on his way with molly. Nina was here earlier. If she doesn’t make it back today, she’ll be here tomorrow. You’re surrounded by so many people who — who love you so much. Your family loves you. And we’re right here. We’re waiting. We’re waiting for you to come back to us. I can’t believe I ran out that room like a scared little girl. Why? I’m supposed to be stronger than that.

[ Scoffs ] Trina, the reason you ran out of that room like a scared little girl was because, at that moment, that’s what you were. There’s no shame in that. There isn’t? None at all. A man who you just recently learned was your father was lying in front of you, hooked up to machines, looking like the life was drained out of him. If that didn’t upset you down to your soul, I’d think something was wrong with you. And that’s why we keep your great aunt stella around, for her pep talks.

[ Chuckles ] Listen, we’ve all been here the better part of yesterday and today, praying for curtis while all the while scared out of our minds. Everybody’s nerves are fried. And curtis is the last person who would want you beating up on yourself. You can wait until he wakes up and talk to him then. Fortunately, deception has a professional relationship with logan’s, which gave maxie the clout to get them to drop the charges. Well, sasha insists that it was just a misunderstanding.

[ Scoffs ] Even if deception had such an arrangement with logan’s, which we don’t, what would make her think she could just take anything she wanted and walk out without telling anybody? It doesn’t make sense. Mnh-mnh. It doesn’T. And why would logan’s leave the security tags on if they knew sasha was taking the clothes? Well, did sasha set off the alarms? She did, but she just showed them a receipt for the clothes she did pay for, so they thought it was just a glitch. Look, here’s the thing, gladys. I don’t think sasha is lying. Well, that’s what worries me.

[ Sasha laughs ] What if she’s getting confused again? What if she’s losing touch with reality?

I don’t see any reason why I’d be on the wsb’s radar. I mean, why? Well… it’s looking more and more likely that I was the intended target, not you. Why would you say that? The gun that was used is property of the wsb. You think maybe the bureau thinks you know too much and they’re trying to silence you? I mean, look, I don’t rule that out, but I can tell you both that if they wanted to get rid of me, they could just take me out like that. So efficiently. No one would be any the wiser. But shooting at me in a public pool like that, ignoring the possibility for collateral damage… like curtis. Right. It’s just too high profile for a bureau assassination. Then who else? Making headline news the way that I have recently internationally, because of my past as a double agent, that gives any number of people a motive to want me dead. How do we narrow down the suspects? Even though we know about the illegal poker games, we don’t have enough to make the charges stick, especially for someone as slippery as selina wu. And that’s the official reason. At least it’s legit. Also, if we’re gonna catch a crime boss like selina wu, it has to be for something a hell of a lot bigger than a casino racket. Okay. That makes sense. But still… still. Cody’s involvement has given me cause to hesitate. He may not be my son, but he is dominique’S. And I want to do right by him. Even though he’s in way over his head? Especially then. Sam, cody’s been doing pretty much whatever he wants his whole life. You know, he’s used to doing whatever it takes to survive. Whether it’s legal or not. Look, I’m not judging. I’m just saying I get it. I’ve been there. I think cody has a good heart. Okay. I don’t know. I’ve known him for a little bit, and I think cody has a well-paved road to hell. He’s not doing himself any favors, especially with what happened with that bracelet at the nurses’ ball. I mean, something was off about that. Do you think he stole the bracelet? I think cody is smart enough not to put an expensive bracelet in his coat pocket, so no. No. Me neither. But I do think selina helped cody get the charges dropped. What makes you say that? Sasha has been distracted, but nothing like she was before. Are you whispering about me?

[ Laughter ] Well, yes and no. No. It’s just, sasha, we’re worried about you. It’s okay. I’m just kidding.

[ Sighs ] But seriously, though, today could have been an even bigger disaster. After many, many public meltdowns and humiliations, the face of deception gets locked up for shoplifting?

[ Laughs ] Throw away the keys. To the cell and the straitjacket. Oh, even I have to admit, it wasn’t that bad. I’m just so grateful to chase for bringing me in the back way to the station so the photographers and the reporters wouldn’t see me.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, god. Did I talk too soon? No, no, no! This has nothing to do with you. It’s just ava. I was — I was supposed to meet her, but I’m going to cancel. No, no. Crisis averted. Everything is fine. Go meet ava. Uh… a-are you sure? I’ll be fine. Okay. Well, I’m gonna call you like a million times today. Okay. I’ll walk you out. Okay. Is it just me, or were they being a little weird? Um, I think nina’s just worried about you. And honestly, so am I. Sinc e I’m perfectly capableof letting myself out, gladys, I’m assuming that you want to talk about sasha. I do. In fact, I need your advice. About what? Okay. Well, you know that sasha is seeing a psychiatrist as part of this process for dissolving the guardianship, right? Right. So dr. Montague has to report to the court his professional opinion of her mental health. And as her legal guardian, is it my responsibility to let the court know she was caught shoplifting? Wait. Are you talking about me being your surrogate? First, I plan a night out. Then you spend the whole night talking about your shelter and your foundation. You said you didn’t want to talk about babies. So you automatically just talk about yourself? Well, you were off-limits. And, yes, I was talking about myself. I was talking about myself because I’m actually doing something that I’m very proud of for the first time in my life. Is that a problem? No, the problem is that you’re making my fertility issues all about you. How?! Because if you insinuate yourself as our surrogate, T.J. And I having a baby becomes all about you and your pregnancy. Well, here’s a shocker for you. I wasn’t thinking about myself. I was thinking about my little sister and how upset she was and how I could help. Molly, I was willing to give up a year of my life and give birth so that you could have a baby. And I’m selfish? I don’t know if you remember what happened, but in case you do, I want you to know that everybody else is okay. I know that you worry about everybody else before yourself. And I love that about you.

[ Chuckles ] I love your bravery and…your big heart. But you got to look out for yourself, too. Your family, they need you. You know? I need you. And I don’t want to live in a world without curtis ashford.

We don’t need to talkabout this right now, okay? We’re all upset about curtis, so… you’re right. We are all upset about curtis. And now I’m upset because you and T.J. Think that I am making all of your problems about me when all I’m trying to do is help you have a baby. I was going to offer this to you sooner, but mom and sam helped me realize it was too soon. I’ve been waiting — oh, you needed mom and sam to figure this out? Yes, I did. Because I’m just your dumb, self-centered, narcissistic sister. You know what? You — you and T.J. Are right to think that I shouldn’t be your surrogate because god forbid your child end up anything like me when you are this perfect — I could hear you two all the way down the hall. What’s going on? Nothing. We’re fine, T.J. We’re good here. Molly was just educating me on why I am not good enough to be your surrogate. Kristina — not now, mom. What happened? Are you out of your mind? You want to tell the court about this? No, of course I don’t want to. The question is, should I? No! For her own good. We both know something isn’t right with her version of events. Are you asking for my permission to — to tell the court about sasha? No, of course not. Gladys, I want you to listen to me. Because, legally and officially, nothing happened. Well, I wouldn’t say nothing.

You are going to say nothing. Sasha made a mistake. Logan’s is not pressing charges. So do you want to go to the court and tell them about this? If you do that, you’re just causing her trouble. Is that what you want? You’re worried about me? I am. Because despite what you said before, I am your friend. But you’re the one who said that we couldn’t be friends. Yeah, well, I say stupid stuff all the time. Okay? Now, if we’re gonna be friends, which, hey, too late, we already are, you’re gonna need to know when not to listen to me. So hold on to my number, okay? If you ever need anything, call.

[ Door opens ] Sasha: Oh, god. What now? Oh, don’t panic. These are for me. I ran into the delivery person in the hall. And you need to leave. She needs to rest. Actually, I’ve gotten my second wind, but thanks. Um, I really should get going. I got a horse to groom and a stable to clean.

[ Chuckles ] Remember what I said. I will. Okay. Here’s what I need you to remember. Whatever he said to you, you cannot count on cody bell. He will only get you into trouble. Why would selina wu lift a finger to help cody? Uh… at this point, the less said, the better, commissioner. You’re probably right. You’re a really good guy to worry about cody. But I’m worried that it’s too late for us to save him from himself. I think I’m gonna go check on trina. Just taking a minute to herself, stella. Let her be. Well, it’s been a long minute. Oh. Hey, stella. Stella, I got you. I got you. You all right? Come on. Come on. Is it your heart again? Look, I-I’m fine. And I’ll be even better once curtis wakes up. Stella, we’re in a hospital. Why don’t we get you checked out? Shh.

[ Sighs ] You feeling better, baby? A little. I always say there’s nothing makes you feel better than a splash of water on your face. So, my mom is still in there. Yes. Yeah. I know you’re worried, but it’s normal for patients not to wake up so soon after surgery, especially one as difficult as curtis’. Thanks. I know. But until he wakes up, we won’t know how much damage the bullet did. He could be paralyzed. You know I hate this, not being able to — to do anything. But I’ll just stay right here, right by your side.

[ Breathes deeply ] I hate that I stayed away from you after I found out that you kissed jordan. Because we made a commitment, and I-I-I let my pride get in the way. But not anymore. Because, honey, I love you. I love you so much. And my harsh words, they can’t be the last thing that you hear me say. Okay? So open your eyes for me so I can tell you how much I love you. Please. Just so we’re clear, I’m not completely ready to rule you out as a target here. You got to keep your eyes open. You know me. I don’t drop my guard. Okay. Dante: Anna, any way we can get any of the records from the ops you did with dvx? Anything the wsb has that could give us a lead? I doubt any of it’s been declassified, even after the leak, but we don’t need it. Because I remember everyone. I remember the name of every person that was ever compromised by my actions. Great. Let’s find out where they are and what they’re doing. That’s gonna take too long. I mean, this person has proved that they have little to no regard for human life, that they’re willing to sacrifice any innocent bystander, probably knowing that I would blame myself for that. I’m not about to allow anyone else to get hurt because of me. Anna, what’s the plan? I think we lure my enemy out into the open… using me as bait.

[ Door knocking ]

[ Hope panting ]

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Hope!

[ Brooke gasping ] My god. What are you doing? Oh, this is unbelievable.

Hope: Mom! What?

Brooke: You and thomas?

Carter: Okay, so– so you really think it’s a good idea?

Ridge: What? Brooke talking to thomas? I think it’s a great idea. It would mean a lot to him.

Carter: Well, I’m surprised that she’s willing to after everything that’s happened.

Ridge: Why are you surprised by that? Maybe she could see him for who he is instead of who he was.

Taylor: Oh, hey fellas.

Ridge: Hey.

Taylor: Am I interrupting?

Carter: No, no, not at all. It’s good to see you, taylor.

Taylor: It’s good to see you too, carter. I’m looking for thomas. We’re supposed to have dinner and I can not reach him. Do you– do you know where he is?

Ridge: Yeah, he’s with brooke.

Liam: No, no. Once the third quarter projections for australia are finalized, then you send them to me. No, I did– I did tell you that yesterday, bryce. Yeah, all right. Thank you. I thought you went home.

Wyatt: Well, I saw that you didn’t, so I brought chinese.

Liam: Oh. Thank you. I was just, um, finishing up with the sydney team.

Wyatt: Yeah, I know. Nice. I think the way you’ve been handling the situation down under’s been pretty impressive. You know, speaking of situation, I just wonder if you’ve been burying yourself in your work a lot lately because you’re trying to distract yourself from the situation at home. Your marriage. When are you gonna go talk to hope?

Liam: Dude, I really– I really don’t want to talk about hope and thomas.

Wyatt: Right. I get that, but it’s not like the situation’s just gonna go away.

Liam: Yes, I know. I know, wyatt. I’m painfully aware of that. Every time I stop even for a second, what races through my brain is hope kissing thomas. Do you wanna– do you wanna know what the best part of my day has been? Yelling at the sydney team. What does that say?

Wyatt: Okay, you know what? This whole thing has been rough on you, I get that. You don’t want to talk about hope and thomas. That’s fine. So, let’s just take the jackass out of the conversation and we’ll just talk about hope. You remember her. About yay high, blonde hair, great eyes. Your wife. The woman you love.

Taylor: Okay, well why– why is thomas with brooke?

Ridge: She’s worried about hope and liam’s relationship.

Carter: That’s understandable after what just happened in rome.

Taylor: Yeah, but she’s been worried about their relationship for a while. Thomas told me what happened in rome. At least, this time, no one can blame thomas.

Ridge: And brooke agrees. She knows hope started this one.

Hope: Mom, what are you doing here?

Brooke: What are you doing here? In thomas’ bed? You are a married woman or have you forgotten? How could you do this, hope? How? This isn’t charmin!

Wyatt: Spoke to dad today.

Liam: Oh, yeah? Is he checking up on us?

Wyatt: Pretty much. I mean, I told him everything was fine, that he had nothing to worry about, but you know how he is. If he can’t see it, he can’t believe it.

Liam: Wait, you didn’t– you didn’t, um… you didn’t say anything about hope and thomas?

Wyatt: That’s not my business to tell, liam. Neither is you staying at his place while he’s gone.

Liam: Thank you. I appreciate it.

Wyatt: Look, I know that this whole thing has been rough on you, but it’s not like it’s the end of the world, right? J– j– just hear me out, hear me out here. You– you have a lot right going on in your life.

Liam: Do I?

Wyatt: Yes, you do and you know you do. Hope loves you, you love hope. You have beth. You have douglas. You have a beautiful family that everyone can see that.

Liam: Oh, can everybody see that, wyatt?

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: Can everybody see that? Do you think hope couldn’t see that when she had her tongue down thomas’ throat?

Wyatt: Fine, I will give you that one.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: But, I don’t want to harp on this. Maybe, just– just maybe, you can find a little bit of compassion and forgiveness for your wife.

Liam: I think I should get back to work.

Wyatt: No, liam, I’m serious here!

Liam: I’m being serious too! What do you think I can do? You think I just have this superpower where I can forget everything that happened in rome? Like, deleted.

Wyatt: You know what? If you really love hope, then you need to dig deep and find a way to talk to her and forgive her.

Taylor: Look, I am– I am– I am glad that brooke knows that– that hope is the one that kissed thomas, but– but see, I just– I just have this feeling that– that thomas is gonna end up getting blamed for this because that is always what happens. And he has risen above so much, the last thing I wanna see is– is hope or any of the logans drag him down.

Ridge: Here we go, okay.

Carter: I should be going.

Ridge: Smart move. Can I come with you?

Carter: Nope. Goodnight.

Taylor: The allure of the city, carter?

Carter: Goodnight, taylor.

[ Taylor sighing ]

Ridge: So, that’s how you feel, huh?

Taylor: I do. I really do. You know how hard thomas has worked to get to where he is and he is a better man. He is a better father and I am so proud of him.

Ridge: So am I. I haven’t seen him so happy or so well-adjusted in a long time.

Taylor: And he’s happy and well-adjusted because he’s been sticking to his program and he is– he is dedicated to being the best version of himself that he can possibly be.

Ridge: I agree.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: So, shouldn’t we celebrate that?

Taylor: Ridge, I celebrate that everyday. But now, I’M… I’m worried. I am. I’m– I’m worried that– that hope’s little stunt in rome is gonna be a trigger for our son.

Ridge: Hasn’t been so far.

Taylor: So far. Well, I’ll tell you this, I do not want to see the logans sabotage thomas.

Hope: Mom, please let me explain.

Brooke: How? How are you going to explain? I came here today to tell thomas I knew that kiss wasn’t his fault. I came here in good faith. I was gonna extend an olive branch. And then I find the two of you in bed together. I’m beginning to wonder if you didn’t manipulate my daughter after all.

Hope: Mom, this is not thomas’ fault. He did not manipulate me. I made a choice. I know what I did and I don’t regret it.

Brooke: Honey, you turn to the one man that your husband hates more than anything–

Hope: My husband left me!

Brooke: I refuse to believe that, I do. You have to keep fighting, hope. And this thing that happened here today with you and thomas, this was a mistake. You are not going to be with thomas. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Ridge: No one is trying to sabotage thomas.

Taylor: Yet.

Ridge: Why do you do that? Why?

Taylor: What?

Ridge: It’s a simple kiss. Nothing’s gonna come of it.

Taylor: Oh, okay, ridge. How can you be so sure of that?

Ridge: I can be sure because if they had wanted to get together, they would’ve done it right here in L.A. Plenty of opportunity.

Taylor: But there were no feelings involved and now there are. Are– are you forgetting that thomas had an obsession?

Ridge: Had an obsession. History, past. It’s changed now.

Taylor: Mm-hmm. Right. But– but now, there is an active trigger and hope is pulling him back into the barrel.

Ridge: It was a simple kiss and it was heat of the moment, that’s all.

Taylor: Okay, well, that simple kiss in the heat of a moment can be very dangerous for our son.

Ridge: No, it’s– it’s not gonna come to that.

Taylor: Well, see, we don’t– we don’t know what thomas is thinking. We don’t know what’s coming up for him. We don’t know how he’s feeling.

Ridge: Here’s what I know. I trust him. Do you?

Taylor: This is not just about trust.

Ridge: Simple question. Do you trust him?

Taylor: I do. I do not trust hope or her mother.

Liam: All right, I really do have to get back to work now.

Wyatt: Oh, come on. Don’t blow me off, man.

Liam: I’m not blowing you off, wyatt. All right, okay. I know what you’re doing. You’re looking out for me and my family and I appreciate it and I hear you.

Wyatt: Okay, so what’s the problem?

Liam: What’s the– do you get that I want to forgive hope?

Wyatt: So then, why don’t you tell her that?

Liam: Because she’s the one who caused all of this in the first place by making out with thomas! Do you– do you understand that every time I close my eyes… yeah, see, there it is. See, there it is again. This is gonna haunt me forever, do you understand that?

Wyatt: Okay, I get that. Seriously, I do. But dude, it was– it was one kiss. One kiss. That’s it! Like, are you willing to just destroy your whole marriage and your family over that?

Thomas: Look, neither of us expected this, brooke. I mean, hope came over here in pain and upset because liam said he wanted a divorce.

Brooke: You should’ve sent her home.

Hope: Could you stop blaming him, mom? I don’t need rescuing right now.

Brooke: Just the other day, you were saying wanted to fix your marriage, you wanted to save it, and now this? It doesn’t make sense.

Hope: I hate what has happened, but liam made it very clear to me that it is over between us.

Brooke: You can’t give up.

Hope: I’m not the one that gave up on my marriage, mom! That was liam! And sure, maybe this is moving too fast with thomas, maybe it’s– maybe it is wrong, maybe it is scandalous, but it was also beautiful and passionate and romantic and if anyone should be able to understand it, it should be you.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Target circle week!

Ridge: I know you’re concerned about thomas and I know you don’t have a lot of patience with brooke right now.

Taylor: You think?

Ridge: But this isn’t about brooke. This is about hope and our son and the two of them had a moment in rome and I feel… given enough time, everyone’s gonna forget about it. That’s what I think. What do you think?

Taylor: I don’t, um…

Ridge: Okay, then, let me help you. Let’s just say that everything’s gonna work out just fine.

Taylor: Who are you right now?

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: What is going on? Mr. Positive?

Ridge: Point is this: It’s a simple kiss. It’s not gonna change anything.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: Liam, don’t let one mistake destroy your entire marriage.

[ Liam sighing ]

Liam: I– I hear what you’re saying, but you’re not hearing what I’m–

Wyatt: Okay, because I’m saying it’s just one kiss. That’s what I’m saying.

Liam: That I know of. That I actually saw. And– and it was a kiss with thomas!

Wyatt: Oh, okay. So if hope kissed some random italian guy in rome, you’d be able to forgive that?

Liam: Have I not been saying that? Yes, that is the kind of thing I could eventually come to forgive.

Wyatt: Okay, I love you, but you need to let this go.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Wyatt: No one hates thomas more than I do, okay? Yet I’m asking you to let it go! Forget about him! Concentrate on hope. Think about what you do have. Think about your daughter. You have so much worth fighting for here.

Liam: Wyatt, why thomas? After– after everything that he’s done to us, what– what does that say about hope?

Wyatt: I don’t know why. I don’t know why she did what she did. She probably doesn’t even know why she did what she did.

Liam: Oh, that’s encouraging. That bodes well.

Wyatt: The thing that I do know, liam, is that you are the man that hope wants and loves. That’s it. Not thomas.

Hope: I didn’t plan any of this. I never thought for a minute that I could be with a man like this while I’m still married to another. I mean, how could I possibly, right? That’s not who I am.

Brooke: You’re right. That’s not who you are.

Hope: Yeah. Little miss hope logan. Too good to do something so thoughtless. I mean, how could I possibly? But I hate to break it to you, mom, what thomas and i shared was beautiful. And I have never felt this way before. And I am following my heart just like you did all those years ago and I am not saying that to blame you, mom. I don’t blame you for any of this. If anything, it just makes me feel even worse about the way that I attacked you for your past. Saying that I never wanted to be like you. Well maybe, I was wrong.

Brooke: Honey, you are nothing like me. I made a lot of mistakes in my life. Turning to the wrong man, the inappropriate man, and it cost me a lot. I don’t want you following in my footsteps. I don’t want that kind of life for you. You are so much better than that, hope. And when you say what you and thomas shared was beautiful? Well, I am not gonna believe that because nothing good will come of this. In fact, nothing will come of this. The two of you are going to forget everything that happened here today. You’re gonna wipe it from your minds, from your memories. No more lingering desires. Nothing. And you are going to go back to your husband, to your family, to beth and douglas. That’s where you belong, hope. You’re going to make it work. And this, whatever happened here between you and thomas, it is over. This affair ends today.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So, what makes you want to resign from the hospital, Nurse King? Oh, it’s not the job. No complaints there. And your wife, oh, she’s wonderful. Honestly, the best boss I’ve ever had is Dr. Johnson. I’m sure she’d be glad to hear that. But if you’re so happy here, why do you want to quit? Unless you’re going somewhere.

Uh, uh, Mrs. Grant, uh, what are you doing here? I thought your father’s funeral was today. Yes, uh, it was. You were there, weren’t you? My brother said he saw you standing at the back of the church. Uh, yeah. I just, uh, wanted to pay my respects. That was very thoughtful of you. Especially since it’s so strange that we even had a funeral.

What do you mean? We don’t have my father’s body, so we can’t properly lay him to rest. There’s still all these unanswered questions. Right. Of course. Which is actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Do you mind if I come in?

Uh, what do you not understand about goodbye? You are dead. Go. What

now?

Well, look what the cat dragged in. Hey.

Hey, Dave. Pretty, uh, pretty rude in service, huh? Those people that loved and respected Abe, it’s quite a turnout. Yeah, standing room only. It’s pretty great that you came, considering everything that’s going on with Rachel. You must be going out of your mind. I want my little girl back, obviously, but it’s not like she’s actually missing.

What do you mean? I thought she ran away from summer camp. She did. But Tink, I know exactly where she is.

Okay, so what you’re saying is that you will tell us where my granddaughter is only if you get something in return. Well, I didn’t say I know where she is. This is all hypothetical at this point. But yes, if I did know, I wouldn’t tell you without being rewarded. Alright. What is it that you want? My very own pony.

What the hell do you think I want, Marlena? I want custody of my daughter.

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

know

you. Well, of course you know me. I’m Lorna DeLorean. Everyone knows me. But I know you too, Henry Marshall. Henry. Henry Marshall. As if anyone could ever forget the most powerful ice cream magnet in the world. But, um, why are you dressed the way you are? I mean, really, you look worse than Charlemagne after Cassandra pushed her into the country club Cinderella.

Hmm. I was in the hospital, I, I was attacked. By whom? I, I’m not sure. You’re not sure who put you in the hospital? I, I don’t remember.

Well, that’s not important. Don’t you worry Henry, we’re gonna get you back to your old self. Lorna is gonna take care of everything. She always does.

Going somewhere? What? Oh, uh, I just, uh, decided to go back to L. A. You know, give this… I can think of another try. I’m actually kind of in a hurry. Oh, I won’t hold you up. It’s just, with all these unanswered questions I have about my father, my mind is kind of working overtime. And I’ve been thinking about when I met you down at the docks.

What about it? Well, Theo said that you wanted to tell him something, but you never got around to it. Uh, yeah, I just wanted to tell him again how sorry I was. About your father. Yeah. That’s what you said. The thing is, right after that you, you took off pretty fast. I mean, are you sure we didn’t do something to make you nervous?

Well, as a matter of fact, I am going somewhere. Oh, really? So you’re not happy in Salem?

When are you leaving Salem? I’m quitting my job. And I’m taking Abe somewhere far, far away from here where we can have a fresh start. Well, it has nothing to do with Salem. Just after all these years, I’m ready for a fresh start. Right. I get that. If you don’t mind me asking, um, where are you headed? Oh, uh, I’m going to Arizona.

Scottsdale. I’m originally from there and I still have some family there. I bet. Considering you’re one of five kids. How do you know that? From your background check. What background check? The one the FBI ran on you after Abe disappeared.

Well, I would ask Sean if there had been any progress on getting another warrant to search the DiMera house again, but, um, he wouldn’t know. Why not? Because he’s been suspended from the force. What? For drinking on the job. He’s still struggling with what happened at the home? Yeah. For weeks he’s been numbing the pain with alcohol.

I know you understand. Yes, I do. I’d be happy to talk to him. Thank you. But I think that finding Rachel is the priority now. So you think Kristen has her at the DiMera house? No, I, I know that she does. I was gonna go over there and just tear the place apart, but Marlena convinced me to let her handle it.

Wait, so Mom went to the mansion? She did. She did. And with any luck? Marlena’s gonna be able to convince that psycho to give me my kid back. Well, if you want to revisit custody, there are several ways to do that. You could, well, you could hire a lawyer. Oh, gee, Marlena, I hadn’t thought of that. Sarcasm. So have you hired one?

Well, I couldn’t find someone who would take my case. Hmm. So kidnapping was the next logical step. Hey, you know what? Your hypocrite stepson thought it was a pretty logical step when he kidnapped my daughter last New Year’s Eve. You are withholding the orchid that would have saved three lives, including mine.

So, what Brady did, he did for a very good reason. Well, I have a good reason too, dammit. Hypothetically speaking, of course.

Why would the FBI do a background check on me? I had nothing to do with what happened with Mayor Carver. Don’t worry, Ms. King. It’s completely routine. You see, in kidnapping cases, they need to check out everyone who had recent contact with the victim. And you saw Abe the day he disappeared. The day you left work early.

I was sick. I thought I was coming down with the flu. I’ve already been through all of this with agent Grant. I know You see, the thing is we’re not exactly clear on what happened yet, and this is Mayor Carver we’re talking about. We’re not just gonna let this go. Not me, not the cops, definitely not the fbi.

You know, Abe was Eli’s father-in-law. Mm-hmm. , that man is gonna keep digging until he nails down the entire timeline, accounting for every minute between when Abe went missing. And when he ended up in that river, I mean, where was he all this time? Who was he with? The agency needs to get every detail of the victim’s movements.

Especially from the last person to see him. It wasn’t me. It was Jerry. Uh, why

would he, uh, when you make me nervous? You kind of seem really nervous right now, Jerry. I’m just, uh… Anxious to get packed. Okay. Well, I will get out of your hair as soon as I get some answers. Okay? So, can we go back to the day on the docks real quick? It seemed like something was really weighing on you.

And of course, we appreciate your condolences. But are you sure, Jerry, that there wasn’t anything else you wanted to tell Theo? Like what?

Okay, Jerry. So many people love my father and miss him terribly. And also because it was a tragic death under mysterious circumstances. It’s especially painful for me because I used to be a cop.

Right. And I want to help with this investigation so badly so I can find whoever took my dad and give everyone who loved him answers. Including myself. But, because I’m not on the force anymore, I can’t work with the police, Jerry. But I still need those answers, desperately. So, please. Jerry, if you know anything, and I mean anything about what happened to my dad, please.

I would appreciate it if you would tell me. Because it would give me the closure that I need to finally say goodbye to my dad. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I lied. What did you lie about? Everything. All of it. My entire story was a lie.

Henry! It’s not polite to keep a lady waiting. Henry!

Oh! Oh, well, that is much better. You look perfect. Just perfect for what I have planned. So, are you ready? For what? To run for mayor of Pineview? This town has needed new leadership since the last guy got possessed by the devil. And you’re just perfect. But there’s still a lot of work to do. So you’re going to need me.

To do what? To be your Director of Communications. Well this is all sounding a little familiar. Well, that’s because I did do it once before but it didn’t work out so well. But this time, we are going to be a great success. You and I, Henry, are going to get you elected and nothing or no one is going to stop us.

Oh.

You’re sad.

Look, I know that your mom and Kristen have not always had the best history, but they’ve also been known to put their differences aside at times. I’m hoping Marlena will go in there with her expertise and help Kristen, you know, listen to reason. Brady, I hate to be the negative one here, but has Kristen ever listened to Rachel?

No. But she loves her daughter. And I think she feels guilty, Tank. She feels guilty that she’s keeping her away from me and from her grandparents. And if Marlena can go in there and make her understand that this is bad for Rachel, this is going to cause her damage, and appeal to her, mother to mother, I think that, with some luck, Yeah, she’ll be able to make her see the light, make her do the right thing.

You know, you can still do the right thing. You can repay the favor that I did for you yesterday, and you can tell me where Rachel is. Well, I can’t tell you what I don’t know.

You do know that whatever tactics you employ, Brady is never going to give you full custody. Of course I know. I’m not an idiot, Marlena. Well, then what do you want? I want Brady to share. No matter how you feel about me, you know I love Rachel every bit as much as Brady does. And you know that Rachel loves me.

And it is important for our child to have both parents in her life. So, now you know, hypothetically, How to resolve this situation. So I suggest you have a little chat with Belle.

I will talk to my daughter. And when you talk to my granddaughter, please tell her that I love her.

And your whole story was a lie. I never saw your father fall into the river. What, so did you see someone push him? No. I never saw Mayor Korver at the docks. Then how do you know he was there, Jerry? He wasn’t, but I was. What? You’re, you’re not making any sense. Of course my father was there. They found his hospital bracelet there.

They found his blood. Because I planted them. What? How? How, how did you get his bracelet and how did you get his blood? What did you do to him? Nothing! Nothing! Uh, uh, I swear, I swear. I didn’t do anything to your father. It was all Nurse King. Okay? Everything that happened, it was all a part of her plan.

You’re talking about Jerry Prentiss? The guy who witnessed Abe going into the water? Yes. He was the last one to see Mayor Carver. Oh, no, no, no. Hold on. I should have been more clear. I didn’t mean the last person to see Abe alive. I meant the last person to see him before he went missing. And that was you.

No, no. It was Jerry. Hang on. So you’re telling me, the day that Abe disappeared from this hospital… Jerry Prentiss was here.

Aren’t you a doctor? Shut up, Lorna. Oh, sorry. It’s just kind of hilarious. Anyone having the idea that looking at you, you’d be a physician. Well, how about everybody thinks that you are a raging bitch? At least I don’t dress like a whore. Well, you dress like a tacky whore. What are you doing here, Cassandra?

I’m giving you a reality check. Excuse me. You know, it’s one thing to rig the woman of the year contest, but fixing the mayor race? Well, that’s a whole different ball of wax. Well, I don’t have a clue to what you’re talking about. Oh, cut the crap, DeLorean. I’m on to you. And you know this big plan of yours?

It’s never gonna work. The hell it isn’t! Because I have the perfect candidate, and there won’t be any rigging or fixing, because Henry and I are gonna win this fair and square. Oh, well, we’ll see about that. Oh, what do you think you’re gonna do about it, Cassie? I’m gonna beat you at your own game. You see, I have my own perfect candidate right here.

Ah!

I appreciate your concern for me, but this, this issue with Sean is, is rough. I’m really sorry about it. And I’m also willing to talk to him for the 19th time. I know. It’s okay. Thank you. I appreciate that. He has agreed to talk to mom, though. Oh! I’m glad I found you two. Hey, Romina. Um, Any luck with Kristen?

She said she doesn’t know where Rachel is. She’s sticking to her story. Yeah, no surprise there. But, she said if she knew anything, she’d be willing to share. Okay. I can tell by the look in your eyes that I should assume that she wants something in exchange. Yeah. She would like to revisit your custody agreement.

Sweetheart, what are you doing downstairs? Attic is scary.

I know. Please sit down. But you know, that’s just a place where things are stored and you have your favorite books and all your lovely dolls. But it’s lonely up there, Mommy. I know what, I promise, this is, this is gonna be over very soon, alright? And you’ll only have to be up there for a little bit longer.

Um, but you know why it’s important, right? Hmm? Why you have to wear this? So the police don’t find me. Yeah, that’s right. And you’re doing such a great job. Remember when the officers, they came and searched the house and, uh, They walked right by you, surrounded by all those stuffed animals. Cause I was really quiet and I didn’t move.

That’s right! You did such a wonderful job! And so, it’s just a little bit longer, alright? So I’m gonna need you to go up to the attic, but this time we can throw a beautiful tea party. I’m gonna get you a little tea set, and some teas, and you can invite your little teddy bears and your dolls. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

I guess. Wow. Okay, um. What’s wrong, honey? It’s just… Is Daddy worried about me? I don’t like making them scared. I know, honey. And it’s very sweet that you’re concerned about your daddy. But you don’t need to be. Because like I said, this is going to all be over very, very soon. Hmm?

So let me get this straight. You’re telling me that Jerry Prentiss was here the day Abe disappeared. Yes, he was right outside of Abe Carver’s room, just lingering. Why didn’t you tell anybody about it? I didn’t think it was important. But when I read in the paper that he was the eyewitness that saw Mayor Carver fall off the docks, after seeing him outside his room, well, it seemed a little suspicious.

And you still didn’t say anything about it? No. Well, I didn’t want to get Mr. Prentiss in trouble. He’s such a nice young man. Or not. Wait. You don’t think that he could have something to do with what happened to A, do you?

Huh. Do I know you? Well, not yet you don’t, but you will. This is… Drumroll, please. The one, the only, the fabulous… Cassandra Clarkington. Cassandra. Cassandra. This is so confusing. Well, don’t you worry your handsome little head, before long everyone in this town will know my name, because I am throwing my hat in the political ring and running for mayor.

You have to be kidding. Oh, I’m as serious as a panic attack, darling. And I’ll be a shoo in with all of you. Oh my, vote for Sandra Cookies! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! And my first act, after I win, will be to bulldoze a town square and build my new discount store. Clocking Town! Ah! Doesn’t that sound fantastic? I think that sounds absolutely dreadful.

Henry, are you okay? I’m getting a strange sense of dĂ©jĂ  vu. About what? Her. Cassandra? All men do. Hey, hey, watch it. No, no, no, no, not, not, not Cassandra. Sandra. Oh, well, why would you have dĂ©jĂ  vu about me?

This plan. You raise the town square, you… You build a discount store. You’ve done it before, haven’t you? But you kept a secret. That’s not the only… What secret you’ve kept from me, is

it? Nurse King, what does she have to do with this? She’s the one who gave me the hospital bracelet, and his blood, and she told me to put them on the docks. Why would you do that? Uh, okay, listen, um, so my grandma was sick, and she couldn’t afford her medication, so Nurse King forged some documents so that, uh, her insurance could cover it.

Okay, I know it was wrong, okay? But when she asked me for help, I couldn’t say no. And I thought that I was helping, and I thought that she was a good person, but she’s not. Okay, you, you said that she did something to my father. What does that mean? Does she hurt him? No. Okay, then how does she get his blood?

What did she do to him, Jerry? Did she kill him? No. Then how does she get his blood? Tell you talk to me. She didn’t kill him. Then what? Your father is alive

Alright, that’s it. I’m going over to that house right now. I’m gonna put my hands around her scrawny Why Why not? This is just a ploy. It’s another ploy to get me to revisit the custody arrangement. That’s all this is I understand that But the thing is, right now, Kristen holds all the cards. And if you, if you do something rash, she could just pick up Rachel and take off.

Do you really want me to cave in to this diabolical woman one more time? I don’t want to. No, no! Belle, come on, there’s gotta be something we can do here, right? Listen, as much as I would rather be a sister than a lawyer right now, the fact that Rachel went missing works in Kristen’s favor. How? What? How?

Because you have full custody. So you’re responsible for all the decisions about your daughter, including what summer camp she goes to. The one that she ran away from. Oh, co… You’re telling me there’s a court out there that’s gonna think that this is somehow my fault? I’m saying that in the eyes of the law, the fact that she escaped on your watch, it looks bad.

Brady, this isn’t just about what Kristen has done wrong. This is really about what’s right for Rachel. I know, and I’m sure she gave you an earful about that. You know, it’s important for Rachel to have both parents in her life. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m open to that. I believe in that. Tell her. Yeah, no, during the custody hearing, when Kristen was trying to cut Brady out of Rachel’s life, I tried to reason with her.

I tried to get her to see that a joint custody agreement would be the best thing for everyone. I, I wanted Rachel to have her mother in her life. Until her mother blackmailed me with using free women’s lives, including yours, I can’t believe you’re advocating for Kristen. I am advocating for Rachel. We’ve got to put aside our feelings about Kristen and focus on how that little girl feels about her mother.

Yeah. You know, Brady, If you did, uh, agree to joint custody, I could put contingencies in the agreement, so that if Kristen were to, I don’t know… Do a drug assault, murder someone, then I’d have my kid full time. Brady, I know this isn’t easy. But experience tells me, that the better things go with Kristen right now, the easier things will be down the road.

And you know what, before you know it… You’re gonna get to spend time with both me and your daddy, alright? Ah, come here. I love you, sweetheart, so much. I love you, too, Mommy. Mmm. Alright, now head back on up into the attic, and I’m gonna bring your fabulous tea set, and we’re gonna get all those beautiful teas that Harold

has. All

All

right. There you go, sweetie.

I kept a secret from you? Well, I don’t have a clue what you mean. Well, this isn’t about the store. This is about something else. This is, uh… Well, that’s a much bigger secret. Well, we only just met, Henry. How could I keep anything from you? You know, much less a, uh, earth shattering secret. Well, yes. Yes, it was.

It was. Earth shattering. Well, there was a time that she stole your recipe for a rocky road. Ugh, that was you, you idiot. Well, there was a time that you tainted his sprinkles with some mind altering hallucinogen. Yeah, this is, uh, this is, uh, This is about something else. This is, uh, It’s much more important.

I remember. I remember.

You and I. We have a daughter.

What do you mean, my father is alive? I mean, he never fell off the docks. Nurse King’s had him this whole time. Jerry, if you are messing with me I’m not! I’m not. Okay? She kidnapped him from the hospital, and she’s been pretending to be his wife this whole time. And she paid me to tell Abe that I’m your brother, Theo.

And he believed you? Yes. Yes. At first. And with his head injury, he doesn’t remember anything from his life. Well, that’s not exactly true. What do you mean? Hope, every once in a while, he has these little flashes, like, uh, memory comes back to him. And he tries to put the pieces together, but Nurse King won’t let him.

So about Mr. Prentiss. Do you think it means something that he was here the day that Mayor Carver disappeared and he’s the one who saw him fall into the river? We’re sure as hell gonna find out. Excuse me.

Hey John. Yeah, I’m still at the hospital. I spoke to her. She told me something very interesting. You got an address on this Jerry Prentiss guy?

Mayor Carver, he, he, he, he knows there’s something off, but Nurse King, she sedates him to keep him in line. Why would you be a part of something so sick? I didn’t know, okay? Uh, she said she needed me for an acting gig. And, and she said that it would help him with your father’s recovery. I didn’t know I would have to fake his death.

Where is he, Jerry? Where is my father? As far as I know, he’s still at her apartment, but she said that she’s gonna leave town, and she’s gonna take him with her. I’m sorry. For everything, I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry! I’m sorry!

Okay, well, my assistant just emailed a PDF of the amended custody agreement to Brady, and you should be getting it right about now. Ah, so as soon as Kristen gets that, we get to have Rachel back. Yeah. Do you really think that giving in to Kristen’s demands was the right thing to do? I think the right thing to do is what is best for Rachel.

Honey, she loves her mother. She wants to spend time with her. And there’s, there’s not a court in the land that will not take into account what a child wants. I just wish that Kristen would have found a way to deal with this without involving kidnapping. Yeah, but now that Brady is willing to compromise maybe everybody can move forward in a, in a civilized way.

Spoke to Marlena. She said that you’d be interested in revisiting our custody arrangement. Word travels fast. She said that if I was willing to amend it, that that might help in the search for Rachel. I do recall mentioning that. Well, I think you’ll, uh, be very pleased with the changes then. Yes, I am.

Quite pleased. Do

you know, I

have a really good feeling about this, Brady. I just know that once I sign this, Rachel’s gonna be found.

You’re dead.

I have a good feeling about this too.

Sorry, Jerry, but I didn’t want to do this. Dr. Johnson’s husband was getting awfully suspicious. It was either you or me, so I had to throw you under the bus. Hopefully you’re long gone

by now. I’m sorry, Miss King. Abe’s daughter deserves to know the truth. I’m not going to be there when she finds him. I’m not going down for

this. A daughter? I only just met you, Henry. We don’t have a daughter. Oh, yes, we do. Oh, is he alright? Mentally speaking? He’s as sharp as a tack. Well, I beg to differ because what he is saying is impossible. Man. This, uh, You hear that sound? I don’t hear a thing. It sounds like someone, Someone knocking. See? I think I hear it now.

Me too. I don’t know what you people are talking about. All I see is a man who is clearly out of his mind.

Oh my god. Daddy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Mariah: Hey. Have you been ignoring me?

Kyle: No, I didn’t think so.

Mariah: Well, I’ve sent a bunch of texts. I’ve left two voicemails.

Kyle: I– I swear, I haven’t been avoiding you. But if this is your attitude, maybe I should be. What’s the problem?

Mariah: You are.

Summer: Great news. Chelsea lawson is gonna take the creative director job after all. Yeah. I’m going to talk to her more about it tomorrow but I– I think that it was my hard sell that convinced her. I know. I’m– I’m really excited about it. All right, I will let you know details as I have them. All right. Bye.

[ Summer chuckling ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Abby: Hey, I heard the news that you and kyle separated. My mom told me that you moved out.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Abby, can we just skip the part where you lecture me and tell me that it was all my fault?

Abby: Actually, I was just gonna offer you a hug.

Jack: Hiya, nik. You waiting for victor?

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m just enjoying a quiet evening on my own. Something about the atmosphere and the music here, I find it very soothing.

Jack: Yeah, I felt my stress level go down a notch or two when I came down those stairs.

Nikki: Well, would you like to join me or are you looking for some alone time?

Jack: Well, that was my original intention, but it’s nice to see a friendly face. Um, I’d love the company.

Nikki: Well, given everything that’s going on at jabot, I’m sure you need a break.

Jack: Yeah, I would welcome a time out.

Nikki: Yeah. I know how hard those kind of conflicts can be, forcing the family to take sides. How are you holding up? I hope there haven’t been too many casualties. Do you have the board behind you?

Jack: What, not you too?

Nikki: Not me what?

Jack: Is this a friendly conversation or is this a fact-finding mission? What exactly are you after?

Diane: Billy, you’re looking comfortable.

Billy: Yeah, that’s one of the perks of being the co-ceo, you can put your feet up on the furniture. You should work it into your contract if you haven’T.

Diane: Oh, my role comes with other benefits.

[ Both chuckling ]

Billy: Like a four-carat ring and a c-suite position. Uh, jack’s not here. I’m not sure where he took off to. Something tells me you knew that he wasn’t gonna be here.

Diane: Yes, it’s– it’s you I was looking for. Um, would you like to grab a drink? My treat.

Billy: Me and you?

Diane: Yes, there’s– there’s something important that I need to talk to you about.

Tucker: Hi.

Ashley: Well, hi handsome. What’s all this? Flowers and– oh, champagne? What’s the occasion?

Tucker: Pff, any night I get to spend with you is a special occasion.

Ashley: Oh. Surely, you can do better than that.

Tucker: [ Laughing ] Okay. Uh, well, for one, we’ve got our exciting new business venture together.

Ashley: Better.

Tucker: And two, my P.I. Is closing ranks on the emt, the carson guy. So, we should have phyllis back in town, and–

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: The leverage to weaponize her against diane.

Ashley: Definitely something worth celebrating.

Tucker: And then, third…

[ Cork popping ] …And most importantly… we are in love. We are truly, madly, deeply in love.

Ashley: Is that so? (Vo) at the tidy cats innovation lab.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Mariah: How could you not tell me you were leaving marchetti?

Kyle: Okay, I’m sorry I didn’t make you my first call when my life was being completely upended.

Mariah: Fine, but I– I could have been the second or even the tenth. But I had to find out from tessa, who only heard it because she’s the face of marchetti.

Kyle: I have had no say in how the news was handled, and in case you’re not up to speed, it wasn’t my idea to resign. My father thought it would be untenable if summer and i both worked there and he chose her to stay.

Mariah: Okay, slow down, and– and back up, that is a lot to process. First, I have a very hard time believing that jack kicked you out of the family company like that.

Kyle: Oh, no, he offered me another position, but at a lower level because billy has my old co-ceo job. I didn’t feel like being demoted when summer rises to the top. So, I declined. Thanks, but no thanks.

Mariah: Wow. That sucks. I– I had no idea.

Kyle: No. On top of all of that, I haven’t been getting much sleep. Harrison’s confused and out of sorts because summer moved out.

Mariah: Does that mean what I think it means?

Kyle: Summer and i are officially separated, mariah.

Mariah: I am very sorry, for your sake.

Kyle: You don’t have to pretend to be sorry.

Mariah: And you don’t have to pretend to put on a brave face. I know that that’s all for harrison. But this is me. You’re still in love with summer, okay? I know that this heartbreak is– is very, very real.

Kyle: Maybe it’s the wake up call I needed.

Nikki: What makes you think I’m after anything? Jack, after everything that you and i have been through, you actually think that I would side with ashley and tucker instead of you?

Jack: If it was only me, no. No, I admit you’d probably have my back.

Nikki: You know that I would.

Jack: But you can’t deny the fact that you hate diane and I wouldn’t put it past victor to try to take advantage of this latest upheaval at jabot. Maybe stage a hostile act of his own, join forces with ashley.

Nikki: Jack, this kind of paranoia is not like you. Now, victor has enough to deal with without going after jabot. And frankly, I am offended that you think that I would have ulterior motives in simply asking how you’re doing. I was concerned after reading the press release about ashley and tucker’s new company. This is big news in genoa city. So, pardon me if I care. I will have that drink by myself now!

Jack: I– I– I apologize. I had no right accusing you of digging for dirt. I apologize.

Nikki: I don’t appreciate being treated like a spy. I am not leanna love looking for a scoop.

Jack: Of– of course, you are not and you are right. I have been overly suspicious lately. Unsure where or when or from whom the next betrayal is coming.

Nikki: Of course you are. I mean, who wouldn’t? I’m sure it hurts that ashley is leaving jabot.

Jack: I learned of ashley’s defection the same way you did. I read about it in a press release.

Nikki: Oh, my god. That’s awful.

Jack: Yeah, being sideswiped by your own sister, pretty awful.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure this has something to do with diane. That ashley is trying to get back at you because of diane’s new promotion. Much less your engagement.

Jack: Yeah, that’s what I thought at first too. I’m starting to think it’s much deeper than that.

Tucker: You just can’t say it. You can’t bring yourself to say the l word, even though all your actions speak it loudly every day. Every way.

Ashley: According to you.

Tucker: And of course, part of this is the pleasure you derive from teasing me.

Ashley: Well, I know for a fact you love to be teased.

Tucker: Yeah, maybe, when I know where it’s going, but… now, I get the feeling that there’s something more serious at play.

Ashley: Like what?

Tucker: Another test of my limits. See how far you can push me before I give up and walk away. You’re so desperate for just a little proof that I’m the old tucker, aren’t you? That I’m– I’m gonna let you down again. I’m gonna hurt you again. When are you gonna accept the fact that that’s not gonna happen?

Billy: As thirsty as I am, there’s no way I can leave the office right now. With everything going on, there’s far too many fires to put out.

Diane: What I need to talk to you about is as important as anything else you need to deal with tonight. I promise.

Billy: Well, you have my interest piqued, so… how about I take a break and we can have a drink right here? Go ahead. Have a seat.

Diane: Oh, thank you.

Billy: So, what’s going on?

Diane: Well, first, I want to thank you for not taking ashley’s side in this latest family battle. It was– it was a welcome surprise that you didn’t agree that me being promoted would destroy jabot.

Billy: I’ve been in your shoes, diane. I’ve been the object of scorn. I have been the odds-on, favorite to fail miserably. I get it.

Diane: Mm, well, I intend to prove myself.

Billy: And I’m genuinely on your side. I’m pulling for you. I have not seen jack this happy in a very long time and I happen to believe that you’re not out to, uh, you know, get jabot.

Diane: [ Laughing ] Yes. I mean, why would I destroy my fiancĂ©’s company? It doesn’t make any sense.

Billy: Tucker, on the other hand, I do not trust him at all.

Diane: Well then, why do you think that we should just let ashley and tucker burn out on their own?

Billy: You seemed to be on board with my approach earlier this morning when we were discussing it with jack.

Diane: Well, I don’t agree.

Billy: Well, that’s interesting. What changed?

Diane: I’m worried about jack’s role in this battle. I mean, I– I know tucker and I know he doesn’t like to fail, and I’m scared he will play as nasty as he needs to in order to win. And I just– I just don’t want to see jack have to stoop to that level.

Billy: So, you’re here to ask me if I would instead. Tv: Try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod.

Abby: Are you and kyle talking?

Summer: No. He says that I betrayed him and he doesn’t trust me anymore. And to be honest, I don’t blame him.

Abby: Unfortunately, I know what that feels like.

Summer: I made a mistake. If he would just give me another chance, you know?

Abby: I wish I had some useful advice, but I’ve realized that what happens in a marriage is between the two of you. I hope that you can come to a resolution that you’re both happy with. And in the meantime, I am a sympathetic ear.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: In that case, could we change the subject?

Abby: Yes, of course. Okay, um, well, what’s the topic?

Summer: Anything else.

Abby: Okay. Then, why don’t you tell me what’s going on at jabot these days?

Jack: Things are just untenable between ashley and me. It isn’t easy when your sister despises your fiancee.

Nikki: Well, jack, did you really expect her to welcome diane to the family with open arms?

Jack: I am not naive. I didn’t expect her to be thrilled that I was engaged to diane. Didn’t expect her to be thrilled that I would promote diane to a new position at jabot, but to leave our father’s company?

Nikki: Yeah, that’s a big statement. But she’s left before and come back.

Jack: Yeah, this just seems different. We’ve always had a contentious relationship.

Nikki: You’ve both been vicious with each other in the past, but you came back from it. I’m sure that you can overcome a rift about diane.

Jack: I don’t know. Somehow, this just seems more profound. The level of vitriol is crazy. It’s like the wound between us never healed. And something is driving this fury and it’s not just diane. This seems targeted at me.

Nikki: This is really hitting you hard.

Jack: I know, I just feel like tucker has tapped into a rage there and he’s exploiting it. That diane is just an excuse for ashley to come after me and the company.

Nikki: Well, I can’t pretend to understand what goes on in ashley’s mind, or tucker’s for that matter, but I do understand how complicated it is to work with family. Isn’t there something I can do to help?

[ Jack sighing ]

Ashley: Am I testing you? I don’t know, probably, on some subconscious level. So what? We’re doing great together, tucker. We’re– we’re a great couple. We’re making great strides. And we have an understanding that this is a transactional agreement.

Tucker: It’s more than that for me.

Ashley: But we both understand the rules of engagement.

Tucker: Rules change.

Ashley: Stop being such a baby. Come on, admit it. You’re having fun.

Tucker: Occasionally. When you’re not building a wall around your heart. I just don’t know why you choose to deprive yourself of so much joy.

Ashley: How do you know I am?

Tucker: Because I feel it when we’re together. I just– I just wish you would join me.

Ashley: What if I don’t want to? What if I like things the way they are? And what if this is as good as it’s gonna get?

Diane: You’re jack’s brother. Soon to be my brother-in-law. I hope you don’t think I’m setting you up to do anything unethical.

Billy: It’s fine, diane. You don’t have to worry about offending me.

Diane: Well, apparently, I do. I think you’re misunderstanding.

Billy: Hm, am I? I mean, we’re talking about protecting my family, my family’s legacy, correct? I’m very capable of playing dirty. Just like I know you are.

Diane: Well, I’m not suggesting that–

Billy: Ah, I thought this was a truth serum.

[ Diane laughing ] We both know damn well what you’re suggesting. You sought me out to have a conversation that jack doesn’t know about. Like I said, I’m very busy. So, if you’re gonna continue to play coy, I’m gonna skip the drink.

Diane: All right, fine. Cards on the table.

Billy: All of them. Salonpas lidocaine flex. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com

Jack: I just don’t see an easy fix to this situation. I don’t know how you can help.

Nikki: Well, it’s an open offer.

Jack: I appreciate that. Your friendship means the world to me.

Nikki: As does yours. Oh, there is something about being in this room. I always feel the spirit of friendship and love.

Jack: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Nikki: Our dear, dear neil. I miss him so much. That’s probably what drew me here tonight.

Jack: Yeah, I miss him too. Especially, at times like these. Why is it family is our greatest source of joy and our greatest source of pain?

Nikki: You and I both know the answer to that.

Jack: Yeah. Hey, you should feel very proud of what you’ve done to honor neil in creating this space. And for stepping into his shoes tonight.

Nikki: Oh, no, nobody could do that.

Jack: No, we honor him by reaching out to those we care about and you did that for me tonight and I’m very grateful and you did neil proud.

Nikki: Well, it was my pleasure.

Jack: And you somehow managed to do all of that without once chastising me for my relationship with diane.

Nikki: Ah, well, that took a lot of willpower and a little tongue-biting.

[ Jack laughing ]

Billy: Let’s start with what we do know. We are both more than willing to tarnish our pristine reputations in order to get what we want. Me… I want to protect my family. And my father’s legacy. But what’s in it for you? Your tenure here at jabot has been short. Why such a fierce allegiance?

Diane: My loyalty is to jack. And by extension, jabot. He’s– he’s risked everything to help me and it’s only fair that I do the same.

Billy: Yeah, I wouldn’t underestimate jack. He doesn’t need or want protecting. He’s very capable of getting his own hands dirty.

Diane: I’m– I’m well aware of that, but he crossed many lines, uh, helping me with jeremy stark and that’s why I’m concerned. I want to protect him and his reputation. I want to keep him free of the mud if it comes to that.

Billy: But I’m fair game.

[ Diane chuckling ] Again… I don’t offend easily.

Diane: Good. Because we have bigger things to worry about.

Billy: Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t think we need to resort to unscrupulous methods here. You know, I– I firmly believe that if we take a few precautions and we double down on this quarter, we’ll outperform what we need to do and whatever ashley and tucker are working on will fizzle out before their company even gets started.

Diane: Yeah, well, what if you’re wrong?

Billy: Well, if anyone makes a move to hurt jabot… for instance, if ashley and tucker pull their patents or they try to take down jabot in any sort of way, I will not only enjoy, but I promise to get down in the mud with tucker mccall and fight like hell. No one is going to mess with my father’s legacy. Not ashley and certainly not that piece of work, tucker mccall.

Tucker: So, this is the best I’m gonna get, huh?

Ashley: Maybe.

Tucker: A transactional relationship with a steel-hearted woman. Wow. What a storybook romance.

Ashley: Excuse me? I don’t have a steel heart. I have a guarded heart for good reason. And as much as I enjoy talking about our feelings, can we please put a pin in it? I have something urgent I need to discuss with you. So, please pour some champagne right now, please. I want to talk about the next stage of our plan which I’m ready to set in motion.

Tucker: All right. What’s next on the agenda?

Ashley: Okay. Here. Okay, that’s good, that’s good, that’s good. Okay. Ready?

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: Okay, here’s to… pulling the rug out from under jabot. One employee at a time.

Mariah: So, you’re telling me that you’re totally fine with everything that’s happened to you lately. Your mother-in-law frames your mom for murder, your wife betrays your trust, your dad fires you from the family company, but it’s no big deal. In fact, it’s a good thing.

Kyle: Obviously, it’s not the way I would have liked for things to play out. At least I see summer for who she is now.

Mariah: And I am a very loyal friend who will resist pointing out that I have been warning you about snowflake for years.

Kyle: Thanks for that.

Mariah: But you cannot convince me that you are happy about getting booted from marchetti.

Kyle: Okay, I’ve already landed another job. One that I wasn’t handed based off of my nepo baby position.

Mariah: Don’t you dare diminish everything you’ve done at jabot just because–

Kyle: Because what? It’s my birthright? All right, I’m not saying I didn’t do good things there.

Mariah: Yeah, you crushed it.

Kyle: Sure. Maybe. But that’s the thing. I’ve realized that there’s a voice in the back of my head asking me if I would have had the same opportunity if I wasn’t jack abbott’s son. Look, I know I’m good at what I do, but you have to admit the outside world can look at me and think I’ve been handed every opportunity.

Mariah: Who cares about the outside world?

Kyle: Well, maybe I do. And now, I have to prove myself based off of my own merits. It’s exciting for me.

Mariah: Okay. Where is this dream job?

Kyle: A– at newman media as C.O.O. Working with audra charles.

Mariah: Noah’s ex?

Kyle: She’s smart and driven and not afraid to take big swings. She has a real passion and energy.

Mariah: You got all of that from one job interview?

Kyle: Okay, you can put a lid on that judgment.

Mariah: I’m sorry, but I– I’m your friend. I have to tell you the truth and I am just not buying all of this. The family company meant everything to you. You have “jabot 1” as your license plate. So, I think you just need to slow down and take a breath before you take this job at newman media. I mean, you cannot convince me that that’s what you really want.

Kyle: Why does everyone think they know what’s best for me? Trelegy for copd.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. What can you do with sensitive skin?

Abby: It’s so toxic.

Summer: I blame diane. I’m kind of surprised that your mom hasn’t filled you in on all of this.

Abby: We haven’t had a heart-to-heart recently. I felt like she was dodging me, but I thought it was because she was planning this wedding to tucker. I had no idea she was starting her own company.

Summer: Yeah, it’s all coming to a head.

Abby: It sounds like it. And my biggest problem used to be straddling the newman-abbott fence.

Summer: And now there’s a fence in the middle of the abbott living room. I’m just glad that I don’t have to deal with that tension anymore. Abby, what are you gonna do if this conflict between your mom and jack comes down to a board vote?

Abby: I have no idea. My mom’s hinted around about whether I’d support her, but she hasn’t asked me directly. And I can’t imagine my uncle jack would suggest I’d vote against my own mother.

Summer: Uh, I wouldn’t be sure about that. It’s gotten pretty vicious.

Abby: I can’t vote against my uncle jack either. I mean, I– I guess if it comes down to it, I would have to abstain.

Summer: Diplomatic. I mean, not voting? That’s making a statement. So, why not make it count? I think that you’re gonna have to pick a side.

Jack: So, does this newfound willpower mean that you’re coming around about diane?

Nikki: Oh, no. No, that will never happen. I can never forget and forgive what she did to me, framing me for her murder. Although, I probably won’t be forming a new cabal to banish her either. I’m just tired of wasting all my time and energy on her. No offense.

Jack: No offense taken. Actually, I’m happy to get any victory I can here. So is diane. I enjoy distracting her with positive thoughts these days.

Nikki: Well, I hate to admit it, but you do seem happy. I haven’t seen that sparkle in your eyes in a very long time. And even though you’re going through all of this with jabot, all you have to do is say her name and you light up.

Jack: I am unequivocally in love with diane. She is a changed person. She has left behind the thing that everyone hated about her, all of it.

Nikki: Well, maybe not all.

Jack: Look, she deserves a chance at this new life of hers. I will not get tired of saying that. So, I’ll be damned if I let anyone, least of all, ashley, take that from us.

Nikki: Jack, did it ever occur to you that maybe that’s not what she’s doing?

Jack: No, not at all. Ashley is single-mindedly determined to bring diane down.

Nikki: Maybe starting a new company is her way of coping. Now, I know that you have managed to let go of all of your issues about diane, but you can’t expect all of us to do that. I mean, maybe ashley is putting some distance between herself and diane as a way of saving your family, not destroying it.

Jack: That’s wishful thinking. My sister is forcing my hand and I am so worried that there is no coming back from this rift.

Tucker: Eh, I don’t know. Bringing jabot down one employee at a time seems pretty slow and tedious and potentially unsuccessful. Why can’t we do something more positive? Why can’t we concentrate on getting simply ashley up and running, right? We don’t have time to make jabot die a slow and painful death.

Ashley: I don’t want jabot to die a slow and painful death. I don’t want it to die at all. I want to save it. I want to make jack see that there’s no loyalty under diane. And we tried to use the board against her.

Tucker: Right. And failed to get a majority.

Ashley: Exactly. So, now what we’re gonna do is we’re gonna lure the staff away with more money and better positions and the knowledge that jabot is headed for a crash because of jack.

Tucker: Jack appears to have acquired a lot of loyalty over the years. It’s not gonna be easy.

Ashley: Okay, we’re gonna undo that. We’re gonna make all these people, all these employees see that jack’s obsession with diane is costing the company greatly. Diane is the key. She’s the key. We have to make them hate and distrust her as much as they love and respect jack. Listen, if I can’t save my brother, I am going to save my father’s legacy.

Diane: Here’s to fighting ashley and tucker and protecting jack.

Billy: If it comes to that. Seriously, diane, you don’t need to worry about this stuff. You’ve got this epic wedding to plan. You gotta make sure that your gown is ready and the location is locked and all the invites are ready to go out. I’m sure the guest list is massive.

Diane: Uh, thanks, but I’ve got it under control. I’ve been working my way down my to-do list when I’m not focused on learning the ropes of my new position.

Billy: And speaking of them, I bet you wish you would have waited ’til after the epic wedding before you took on the new job.

Diane: No, I love being chief talent officer. Getting up to speed on staffing and networking with headhunters.

Billy: Because from what jack said, it’s gonna be quite the party. I mean, you really should be focusing just on that. You don’t have to worry about petty human resource issues here at jabot.

Diane: You know, billy, I find it hard to believe that you’re that interested in the details of our ceremony. Why are you focusing on this?

Billy: Because I’m gonna urge you to do something. Something that you’re probably not gonna want to do. But it is in the best interest of jabot. And more importantly, jack.

Diane: What’s that?

Billy: Resign. I’m jonathan lawson

Tucker: So, the idea is to sick phyllis on diane, which will throw diane off the rails and then weaken jabot by taking back your company and your patents. It’s pretty good. I do like the way your mind works.

Ashley: Thank you. I appreciate that. And just having phyllis in diane’s vicinity is gonna completely throw her off her game. She is going to do something stupid, jabot will stumble, and simply ashley will be up and running and ready to go.

Tucker: Staffed by former jabot employees.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: And then we swoop in and take over the weakened jabot.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: Wow, you’re ruthless.

Ashley: Only because I have to be. And by the way, it’s very exciting. Thank you very much for helping me make it happen.

Tucker: Uh, in that case, why don’t you reward me by admitting you’re in love with me?

Mariah: I’m not trying to tell you how to feel or what you should do, I’m just trying to be a friend. And sometimes that means pointing out hard truths.

Kyle: No, no, I heard you. You think I’m too angry to think straight, but mariah, I have more clarity than I have had in a long time. So, I’m gonna be a friend to you too. I think you should jump ship from jabot.

Mariah: Oh. Wait a second, are– are– you want me to leave in solidarity?

Kyle: No, no, not for me, for you. If I am an example of how they will treat family, just imagine how they will treat you.

Mariah: I– I think you and I are in very different situations.

Kyle: There’s a battle brewing. It’s gonna get uglier before it gets better. You are talented. There are dozens of companies who will hire you in a minute.

Mariah: Thank you. I appreciate that, but I’m– I’m not looking for that kind of upheaval in my life right now. I have– I’ve got a family. I got a baby to take care of. And, I mean, what about tessa? Are you gonna demand that she resign as the face of marchetti? We’re not the abbots. We rely on paychecks.

Kyle: Suit yourself. I have to go.

Mariah: Hang on, hang on! Are you seriously upset with me because I won’t resign in protest?

Kyle: You were honest with me, so I’m being honest with you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Good luck. Enjoy working with summer.

Nikki: I’m concerned to hear you predict a point of no return with ashley. And I know how committed you are to your father’s legacy. How far are you willing to go to save jabot and diane?

Jack: As far as I have to go. No two things are more important to me in my life.

Nikki: What about your son? What about harrison? I mean, you’re talking about igniting a family war.

Jack: This isn’t about them. This is between ashley and me.

Nikki: I know you can be tough, even cutthroat if you want to be, but tucker mccall, he is operating on a whole other level. If he is provoked, he can be as unpredictable and mean-spirited as they come.

Jack: That’s why this fight is so important. We’re about to become in-laws if ashley follows through with this sham engagement.

Nikki: Jack, it has been so many years since you battled with victor. Do you really want to become that person again?

Diane: So, that’s what you wanted all along. To get me out of jabot. I thought you were on my side, but it sounds like you’re working with ashley.

Billy: No, no, no, no. Come on. Don’t be ridiculous. You know that’s not happening. Okay? This is my idea.

Diane: So, jack doesn’t know about this.

Billy: No.

Diane: No because he wouldn’t approve.

Billy: Unless he thought it was your idea.

Diane: Billy, even if I were to convince jack that it was my idea, he’d never buy it. And giving up my job means that ashley wins and I am not about to let that happen.

Billy: Diane, I’m not asking you to walk away forever. It’s just until things calm down and the dust settles.

Diane: I am not gonna walk away at all. That’s exactly what ashley and tucker are waiting for. Any misstep on my part they can latch on to to prove that I don’t deserve to be chief talent officer or any job at jabot.

Billy: I get it. I really do. I understand your reluctance. But if you pull back a little bit and look at the big picture, I think even you can agree that you are the driving force in ashley’s declaration of war. And if you remove yourself from the equation, well, then maybe this doesn’t get so ugly. Look, you say you want to protect jack and jabot. This is your opportunity to do that, by putting them first. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Ashley: I’d like a refill, please.

Tucker: Before I pour, I want to know you’re gonna toast to us. I want to hear you tell me you love me.

Ashley: Has anybody ever told you that you talk too much? What’s that saying… about actions?

Diane: You’re asking me to give up something I’ve worked extremely hard for.

Billy: Okay, look, I– I don’t mean any offense, but let’s just be honest, jack gave you this job with a big bow attached to it.

Diane: Yes, but becoming the person who deserves it took decades of reinvention.

Billy: Diane, I don’t see the sacrifice in temporarily walking away from the job if it means avoiding an escalation from ashley. Look, you say you want to protect jack and I believe you. This is the way to do it with the least amount of bloodshed.

Jack: What are you both doing here so late? Everything all right?

Diane: Uh, yes, billy and i were just discussing how to handle ashley and tucker.

Jack: And?

Diane: And billy believes that they won’t ultimately prove to be a threat.

Jack: I could not disagree more. We can’t afford to think that way. We need to prepare for war. I will be very disappointed if I can’t count on you, billy.

Billy: Jack, just because I see the threat differently than you doesn’t mean I’m against you.

Jack: But are you willing to fight for the family company if I’m right and they come after us?

Billy: When it comes to you and jabot, I will do what needs to be done. Always.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sasha gilmore, you are under arrest. Is this a joke? I’m afraid not. I’ve done nothing wrong. Let’s just talk outside, okay? No! I am not going anywhere without an explanation. Yeah, that seems fair. Chase, what’s going on here? You left the store with this blouse and a few other items that you didn’t pay for. That’s pretty. Hey, kid, this is couture. Keep your hands to yourself. Well! You have a way with children, don’t you? L-look. I-I can explain. You were marking cards, mr. Bell. No explanation necessary. I’ll pay you back, I swear. That’s a given. But by losing so dramatically, you’ve damaged the reputation of my game. There’s a rhythm, you see? You can’t win them all. Nor can you lose them all. Guess you’ve never played with my cousin barry. [Chuckles] He’s making jokes. Guess it’s time mr. Bell learned how humorless we are.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Hey. Hey. Have you talked to molly? Going to the hospital right after this. After everything they’re already going through, now this — curtis gets shot? Tj must be out of his mind. Makes me want to help them even more. Mom, I would make the perfect surrogate for them. Honey, um… I really appreciate how open and willing you’re being. But I need to wait to be asked first. Yes, please. Please. Let me ask you something. If molly and tj actually did ask you to be their surrogate, would you say yes? Yes. Really? You’re sure? You really think you’re ready to have a baby? It’s not just a baby, mom. It’s molly’s baby. She’s my sister. I’d do anything for her. Anything? If tj could give us an update, he would.

[ Sighs ] What? Why is it taking so long? This type of surgery, I-it could take hours. But all night?! Honey, are you cold? A little. Why don’t I — why don’t I go get you a sweater? Um, I have one in my office. Hey. Uh, I-I can go. No, no. You ought to stay close. It’s — it’s quite alright. I-I want to use it to stretch my legs. Well, portia — she might have the right idea. You want to take a lap? Yeah, yeah. Sure.

[ Speaks indistinctly ] Lead the way. Your mother is so lucky to have a daughter like you. So strong. I don’t know, aunt stella.

[ Voice breaking ] I’m not feeling very strong right now. Ohh. I assumed that curtis was gonna be out of surgery, but it looks like he’s not. That can’t be a good sign. Don’t jump to conclusions. I’m gonna ask the nurse for an update. -Hey. -Hey, uncle sonny. Hi. How you holding up? -Okay. -Yeah? Hey, sonny. Marshall. I have to admit, I’m surprised to see you here. Curtis: Please. Please, honey, don’t give up on us. Not when we’re so close to finding our way back to each other. I wish it was that simple. I just — I can’t be here. I can’t be here right now. Please, curtis. Give us the chance to make it right.

[ Monitor beeping ] Dr. Barnsdall: Retract this here. Woman: Retracting.

[ Monitor beeping, respirator hissing ] K

I’m allowed to take those clothes. Without paying for them? Yes! Deception has an agreement with logan’S. It’s basically free advertising for the store. Well, the manager didn’t seem to know about it, so why don’t you just come down to the station? And if what you’re saying is true… it is. …Then it’ll take a few minutes to sort out. Besides, we should probably let willow get some rest. Fine. For willow’s sake. Let’s get this over with. -Catch up with you guys soon. -Yeah.

[ Door closes ] Call gladys. I’m already on it. I’m sorry if I was snippy.

[ Chuckling ] It’s just a very expensive coat. I know. Sam: Hey. How do you know that? I saw the price tag.

[ Chuckles ] Oh! Mother-daughter shopping trip? Actually, we are picking scout out a dress for swim camp. Don’t tell me they swim in dresses now.

[ Chuckles ] No, it’s actually for a dance that the kids put on. Ah. What about you? Special occasion? No. Just, uh, thought I’d treat myself. You know, I’m actually really glad we ran into each other. I’ve been meaning to ask you something. Scout, baby, why don’t you take these into the dressing room and try them on? It’s right over there, baby. What’d you want to ask me? So, how is your new bff — selina wu?

[ Grunts ] Ow! It’s not only that you cheated. To a certain extent, I expect that. You’ve done it before, so we’ve kept an eye on you. Well, I’m impressed that you figured out my method. White ink? Child’s play. What I did not expect and what I will not tolerate is that you lied to me — and, even worse, that you thought I wouldn’t notice. Confession time? Better late than never. Okay. So, I did. I made sure that the house lost so you’d no longer think I was valuable to your operation. Why? Honestly, I just — I want to move on from the game. It’s — it’s nothing personal. I just — I’m no good at doing anything for too long. I-I get restless. Well, I have news for you, mr. Bell. My employees do not come and go as they please. Once you’re in, you’re in. Am I making myself clear? Been a while. Yeah. How you doing? I’ve been better. Any word from tj? No. Molly: Not yet. But he’s always said that dr. Barnsdall is the best surgeon in the country. Thank god for that. If your family needs anything, we’re here. Well, first and foremost, for curtis to pull through. And then some answers would be nice. Who would do this to my son? I just hate that I was holding curtis at arm’s length. I was just angry… and confused. And rightly so. But now? Look, trina, you still have time. You don’t know that. Yes, I do. I know curtis, and I know my nephew will fight to get back to you, just like he’s fighting to get back to portia.

[ Monitor beeping, respirator hissing ] Dr. Barnsdall: That’s the last of the bullet fragments. Vertebrae is clean.

[ Monitor beeping rapidly ] But I don’t like that heart rate. Let’s close him up before it climbs up any higher.

[ Beeping continues ]

[ Flatline ] O.R. Nurse: He’s going into v-tach. Pack the wound and get the crash cart in here! We need to turn him on his back.

[ Birds chirping ] Irene: Curtis ashford, did you eat all the potato salad? Again? I swear — next time, I’m gonna put a padlock on the container. Mom?

I’m sorry, sonny. Discovering who shot my son, that’s not your responsibility. Shouldn’t have laid that at your feet. Don’t worry about it. I don’t know who the shooter is yet, but I am not gonna rest till I find out.

[ Sniffles ] So do you want to talk about it at all?

[ Sighs ] Oh. I’m fine. Really? ‘Cause I’m not. Me either. All this waiting is fraying all my nerves.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Voice breaking ] I was just so worried that I wasted all that time, that I didn’t resolve things before.

[ Sighs ] I know. I, um — I know, sweetheart. Me too.

[ Trina cries ] As I said, I-I really do appreciate your willingness to help your sister out. But… but not only is surrogacy a — a huge deal, so is getting pregnant. You’ve never been pregnant before. Do you have any idea what it’s like to carry a baby? Mom, I’m gonna figure it out. You know, I’m young, I’m healthy, I’m single. And don’t molly and tj deserve to be parents? Of course they do. Okay. So if they do decide to move forward with surrogacy, then isn’t it best that they go with someone that’s already prepared and ready to go? Honey, to my point, I don’t know that anyone is truly prepared to be a surrogate. It’s not just a physical thing. It’s an emotional — -hi. -Hey. Sorry to interrupt. Hi. I heard you were trying to reach me. I-I was. The invader would like to do a feature on — on the deceptor. Oh. Great. Uh, what’s the angle? Oh, it’s in the leisure section. It’s interest in the design process. Okay, then you’ll probably want to talk to a product manager or someone in marketing. Good. Then I’ll have my assistant call your office. Okay. Thanks. Uh, I’ll let you two get back to your conversation. Oh, wait, maxie. Um, actually, I just have a couple of questions. About the deceptor? No. About, uh, surrogacy. Selina wu is not my “bff.” Get your facts straight. Huh. Oh, well, that’s pretty interesting. Because according to spinelli, you and selina were seen at the metro court, all cozied up. Wait. No. Hold on. It was actually you, selina, and cody bell. Now, that’s an interesting trio, don’t you think, since you did accuse him of larceny? A misunderstanding. Which put him in handcuffs. Well, isn’t cody lucky to have a friend like you to bail him out? You haven’t answered my question. Which one? How do you know selina? I’ve bumped into her at the savoy a time or two. Uh, should I get the red one or the black one? And what about cody? What is his relationship to selina? You’ll have to ask cody.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Look. You can either tell me what’s going on with the three of you, or I am going to figure it out myself, because it’s obviously something. One word from selina, and you change your story about cody stealing your bracelet? What does that woman have on you? Are there any updates on curtis? Nothing yet. Curtis would be so glad to know that you’re here. Think he feels our support? And the love and strength you’re sending his way. He’s very, very lucky to have such a close family. Times like these — when we realize how truly important family is. Dr. Barnsdall: Give him one milligram of epi. -1, 2, 3, 4, 5… -charge the paddles to 200. …8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14… everybody clear?[ Paddles whine ]

[ Thump ] 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14… I don’t — I don’t understand.

[ Birds chirping ] Are you still hungry? I made biscuits, and there’s blueberry pie for dessert. I remember this blanket.

[ Chuckles ] Does it still have — have the hole that you burned in it when you were playing with matches? Sure does. That was tommy’s idea. Mm-hmm. Blaming your brother. Just like always.

[ Sighs ] Are you alright? Do you feel sick? I’m just fine. Are you sure? Mom…

[ Voice breaking ] Is this really happening? Are you — are you really here with me right now? Baby. Where else would I be? Huh?

[ Breathes sharply ]

It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it? It’s just magical. When we’re done here, would you mind taking a look at my car? What’s wrong with your car, mama? The “check engine” light’s on again. Mama, I don’t know why you refuse to take your car to the garage. What do I need with a garage when I got two strapping sons?

[ Chuckles ] Tommy’s working on it now. But I think he needs a little help. Tommy’s here? In the parking lot. Go see your brother. Dr. Barnsdall:

[Echoing] We’re losing him! Tj: [Echoing] Stay with us,

uncle curtis! Do you hear that? Hear what? Really? Really. Whatever tommy did, curtis had to do it, too, no matter that tommy was older. When tommy learned to ride a bike, curtis was determined to learn, too.

[ Chuckles ] Tommy made varsity. There was curtis on jv.

[ Laughter ] I didn’t realize curtis was that competitive. That was — that was part of it, but he — he was also very protective, and he didn’t want to be far away in case his brother needed him. I think he’s like that for all of us. All you gotta do is call. Curtis will come running. He’s still like that today. He certainly is. This is detective chase with the pcpd. Call me back as soon as possible. It’s about sasha. Are you implying I’ve done something wrong? Yeah. I mean, you must have. Well, how do you get that exactly? Because there was no way you were gonna let cody off the hook. You were out for blood. So the only reason I can think of that you backed off… was to save your own skin. Mommy! What do you think? Oh, hi, baby. Let’s see. Um… well, they’re both beautiful. I say you try them on and we decide together? Okay. Okay. I’ll see you in the dressing room. Well, much as I’m enjoying being accosted, I gotta run. Family emergency. What? Wow. I hope everyone’s okay. So do I. Oh, tell the kid to pick the white one. Pink’s not her color.

[ Exhales deeply ] It’s not every day I get asked about my surrogacy. Well, it was such a selfless thing that you did. I just would — I’d love to hear more about it. A-and please don’t feel you have to divulge anything personal. There’s nothing not personal when it comes to surrogacy. Um, let me wrap my head around this first, okay? Yeah, of course. Totally. Okay. Cool. Um, both of you, call me. Yes.

I will remember you what?

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey, chase. What’s up? Sasha did what? Okay. Okay. I’m on my way. You said that I could never truly know what surrogacy was like, so isn’t asking someone who’s actually done it the next best thing? It was just a little insensitive. Maxie said she was fine with it. Okay. Alright. I got to go to the hospital. I will see you later. Love you. I love you.

[ Sighs ] Thank you, brick. Keep me posted. Hey. Did brick learn anything new about the shooting?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Uh… what’s wrong? Alexis wants me to come by. It’s — it’s about kristina. Go. No. Well, I feel kind of, you know — no, I will stay here, and I will call you if there’s any updates, I promise. Are you sure? Yes. -Alright. -Go, go. Love you. How long are you gonna keep me here? Maxie’s on her way. I tried to track down gladys, but I am having trouble reaching her. You’re allowed one phone call, sasha. You should really contact a lawyer. Lawyers are for guilty people. Be reasonable, sasha. Why? When something completely unreasonable is happening to me? I need someone in my corner. Someone who understands what a colossal mess this is.

[ Grunts ] Ow, ow, ow. Ow!

[ Cellphone rings ] You mind if I get that? I don’t, but li would find it quite rude. Well, we can’t have that. No, we can’T. Well, I must be going. Enjoy your afternoon. I believe you’ll find li is both creative and resourceful.

[ Chuckles ] Aaah! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! You came into my game with your own agenda. There must be consequences. I have a proposition! What could you possibly have to offer?

[ Breathing heavily ] Plenty. No one crosses me. Goodbye, mr. Bell.

I could have swore I heard voices. It’s probably tommy, swearing at the car. You know how his voice travels. Tj: [Echoing] Uncle curtis, you have to come back. Did somebody just say my name? It’s tommy. He’s calling for you. He needs your help. It didn’t sound like tommy. It’s like… I recognize the voice. I just can’t make it out. Come. Be here. We’ll go see tommy together. Tj: Come on, uncle curtis! Fight! Do it for trina! Hey. You can tell me to buzz off if you want to be alone. But are you doing okay? I just needed a minute. Yeah, yeah. I get that. Everyone’s so scared, and they’re desperate for answers. And you’re not? Oh, I’m terrified. But the fortunate thing about it, or unfortunate thing, is that I know the answers to some of those questions… and the surgery’s taking way too long. The long er they have him open,the longer the recovery… if there is a recovery. Oh, there will be a recovery. It’s a bullet to the spine, nina. The damage could not only be significant, but it could be life-altering.

[ Breathes sharply ] I wish there was something I could do or say. Thank you. The only thing that we can do is… we can wait. That manager is trying to embarrass me! There is something that you need to see.

[ Door opens ] -What’s going on? -Oh, gladys! Oh. Oh. They’re accusing me of shoplifting. Who? Who is? Logan’S. It’s just like with home & heart. Someone is out to get me. Can I show you something? -Uh… -please, take a seat. This is the security footage from logan’S. Oh! Finally something to prove I’m innocent.

[ Sighs ] I don’t — I don’t remember doing that. It — I mean [Scoffs] Why would I? It’s not like I can’t afford the clothes. No, no. Something is wrong here. I mean, you may not remember it, but you did it. That — that is you, isn’t it? -Any word? -No. Gladys didn’t answer. But, look, sasha’s with chase. I’m sure he’s taking good care of her. I thought she was acting strangely. Yeah. I mean, sasha’s been through a lot. Understatement. Oh, she’s — she’s been doing good lately, but, you know, there was — there was — there was bound to be setbacks. I know, but… shoplifting? I know. Maybe she didn’t realize she had clothes in her hands and she walked out the door?

[ Stammers ] Look. It’s gonna be okay. Alright? If you say so. I do say so. Why are you looking at me like that?

[ Chuckles ] ‘Cause I-I still — I still can’t believe that you’re home. No place I’d rather be. Uh-oh.

[ Chuckles ] Why is that “uh-oh”? Well, uh… me and wiley have been planning a little trip. Uh, rude, considering I can’t go anywhere yet. Well, au contraire, ma cherie. If mademoiselle wouldn’t mind looking out the window…

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Laughs ] Wiley.

[ Laughs ] What are you two up to? Bienvenue paris.

[ Chuckles ] Both of these dresses look absolutely beautiful on you. But hurry up and choose ’cause I got to take you to swim class. Hm? I don’t really want to go. Wait a minute. But you love going to swim class. Is this because daddy is the one who normally takes you? And he picks me up. What else does daddy do? He asks how many laps I swim and how long I held my breath underwater. Oh, really? That’s no fair. I want to know those things, too. Come here for a second. I know that you’re sad that daddy is gone, and it’s hard for both of us. But guess what — daddy’s gonna want to know how many laps you swim. He will? Yeah, he sure will. So you know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna write everything down. This way, when we go and see daddy, you can tell him all about it. Sound good? Which one? You know what? I think you deserve both of them. -I-I can make you rich! -Is that so? I’m coming into some money. It’s, uh — actually, it’s a lot of money. You asked why I wanted out of the game. Well, it’s — it’s really — it’s to tie up some loose ends before I retire to the cayman islands. So you lied. I stayed quiet ’cause I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but, you know, now that I’m thinking about it, I feel like I owe you a debt of gratitude. And where is this money coming from? The wsb. Ow. Ow, ow, ow! I’m not an informant! I’m not an informant! Okay — ow! Wsb took something from me, and they’re willing to pay through the nose to make it right. Took what? A family heirloom. The wsb is willing to cough up 10 mil to make up for my pain and suffering. Would you like a cut?

Now, obviously, we’ll plan a real trip when you’re ready, but for now… wiley and I wanted to bring paris to you. This is the sweetest thing, michael. Thank you. Hey. No, don’t thank me. Your son was the mastermind. I mean, come on. Look at him.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Please tell me that thing doesn’t actually make noise. Well… oh.

[ Accordion plays ] Can you picture it? You and me walking hand in hand down the champs-elysées?

[ Chuckles ] I can’t wait. Michael… I love you too much. Too much?

[ Breathes sharply ] No such thing. $10 million? Yeah. Some of it can be yours. Define “some.” A 50/50 split. 60/40. I have to pay some — to my attorney. There’ll be plenty left over. Li, let our friend go.

[ Grunts softly ] We must also discuss how you’ll repay your debt from last night’s fiasco. Yes. Yes. I expected as much.

[ Speaks chinese ]

[ Sighs ] Sasha. Ms. Wu? Am I free to go? Something wrong? Uh, possibly. But it has nothing to do with you or your operation. Of course you’re free to go. Because wherever that is, li will always find you. Don’t worry. I’m sure maxie will take care of everything. Maxie! I swear I didn’t know — I spoke with sandra, the store manager at logan’S. I explained everything, and they’ve agreed to drop the charges.

[ Sighs ] Thank god! They should be calling the station now. If you’ll excuse me. I can’t thank you enough.

[ Door opens, closes ] I honestly don’t know what happened. It’s okay. Everything’s fine. How did you convince them? Oh, you know, now we’re doing a cross-promotional event with the deceptor. I’m sorry. No, it– it’s fine. It ended up working out well for the brand, so… well, I will help however I can. Actually, um, logan’s would prefer if lucy and I handled it. I hope you understand. No. Yeah. Of course. That makes sense. You have been working so hard, sasha. I-I-I think you’ve earned a break, don’t you? What’s up with kristina? I was, uh, just wondering what your involvement is with her foundation. Well, I’ve been hands-off because I figured that’s what kristina needs. Unless you think otherwise. Um, not that she would admit to this — I just think she’s a little overwhelmed. Okay. I’m here for whatever kristina needs. I was hoping you’d say that. -Molls. Hey. -Hi. Hi. How’s curtis? Oh, we’re still waiting for news. I’m so glad that you’re here. Things were already — they were just so complicated between us. And now…

[ Voice breaking ] What if I don’t get a chance to tell him how much I love him again?

[ Sighs ] Come here.

[ Crying ] Trina… who’s trina? My daughter. You have a daughter, curtis?

[ Gasps ] Oh, how wonderful! Tj: [Echoing] Trina needs you, uncle curtis! So does portia! Once you and tommy fix the car, we’ll go home and I’ll make dinner. You’re stronger than anyone I know. Use that strength! Fight! Then we can go for a walk in the neighborhood. We’ve missed you so much. I’ve missed you, too, mama. More than you’ll ever know. But now we don’t have to. The family’s back together again. Come. We’ll go see tommy together. I want to. Mama, I want to, okay? But why do I have the feeling that if I leave this park, I’ll never see trina and portia again?

-you hungry? -Famished. Alright. Garçon?

[ Laughs ]

[French accent] Alright. We have ze…

[Normal voice] Actually, you know what? I’m not even going to attempt to do a french accent. Wiley, I’m sorry. But, uh, right here, we have the quiche lorraine, a lovely green salad, crispy baguette, and the frenchiest butter we could find.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, we might have needed one more day at least to prepare, but…

mais non.

C’est parfait. Does that mean good? Very.

[ Chuckles ] Our daughter has the passion and the energy to — to make this shelter happen. I — I just think she needs a little guidance. And, for better or worse, um, she listens to you. Thank you. I-I’m thinking she actually might receive some constructive feedback from you. How come I feel there’s a lot more going on here? Oh, well, you probably feel that way because there is. Everyone makes mistakes. And one day in the not-too-far future, no one will remember this even happened. Gladys is right. Clean slate.

[ Door opens ] -Well? -You worked your magic. Logan’s is happy to drop the charges. Thank you. Again. Anytime. Well, hopefully this is the only time. Are you ready to go home? Yes. I’m exhausted. Hey. Keep an eye on her, would you? Duh. Was gonna do that anyway. Sasha. Yeah. Hey, it’s, uh, me. I’m so sorry I missed your call. Um, are you okay? Call me back when you get this. Selina: You forgot something. Is everything alright?

[ Breathes deeply ] A friend needs my help. And we always take care of our friends, don’t we?

[ Camera shutter clicking ] You’re not gonna stay with us, are you? I can’T. There’s too many people waiting for me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Voice breaking ] But I don’t want to say goodbye. Then don’T. Say… “until we meet again.”

[ Crying ] Until we meet again. I’m so proud of you, curtis.

[ Voice breaking ] If only I had been as strong as you are, maybe I would have met trina. It’s time for you to go back.

[ Breathes deeply ] Ohh. -I love you, mama. -I love you, too, sweet boy. Irene: I love you, too. It’s time. Oh. Did curtis make it through surgery?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: Mm. I fell asleep.

Thomas: Mm.

Hope: How long was I–

Thomas: Well, you were– you were gone for a while. But I’ll take it as a compliment.

Hope: Yeah, you should. I should, um, I should probably get going.

Finn: You hear that?

Steffy: What?

Finn: It’s the sound of children sleeping.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: What should we do with this, uh, rare opportunity.

Steffy: I don’t know. You tell me.

Finn: For the rest of the night…

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Keep talking.

Finn: It’s all about you.

Ridge: Isn’t it funny, carter? Just when you’re ready to pass the torch, you see a little light.

Carter: Through a keyhole. I– your inspiration looks a lot like someone I know, but I– I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Ridge: Hm.

Carter: Uncanny.

Ridge: I don’t know what you mean.

Carter: What I mean is that it looks like your relationship was raised to another level on this trip. Haven’t seen you this happy in a long time.

Ridge: And it’s all because of logan.

Steffy: Babe, you spoil me.

Finn: All right.

Steffy: Yeah, you do.

Finn: Well, the night is young.

Steffy: Yeah. Oh, did you see what kelly drew for me?

Finn: Oh, wow. Huh. Might be time for her own line.

Steffy: Look, I know we’re a little biased, but honestly? I know talent when I see it.

Finn: Right? Like kelly was showing hayes how to hold his marker. It was so cute.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh.

Finn: They didn’t, uh, they didn’t see me spying on them.

[ Steffy laughing ]

Steffy: I just love seeing those two play together.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I just never wanna take any of this for granted. You know, our home, our children, our life.

Finn: Me either.

Brooke: Wow, this is very nice. I might have to model this one myself.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Carter: You should know that ridge has been in an extremely pleasant mood since his return from rome.

Ridge: You know what? Maybe it was the beautiful city. Maybe it was the beautiful wine you made me drink every morning. And maybe it’s this beautiful creature right here.

Brooke: Mm. It was a very special trip for us. I just wish that everybody felt that way. I wish that things were better for hope and liam.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Can’t we just stay this way forever?

Thomas: Yeah. That sounds nice.

Hope: It’s just, I’ve never felt this way before. It’s– it’s exhilarating. Thomas.

Thomas: Mm-hmm?

Hope: I want you.

Steffy: You know, they say it’s– it’s the small things that turn out to be the really big things in life. And that is so true. I appreciate every single moment we have together.

Finn: So do I.

Steffy: God, to think I almost lost you.

Finn: Hey. But you didn’T.

Steffy: No, but, I would drive myself crazy just thinking about what life would be like without you.

Finn: But you don’t have to think about that anymore, okay? It’s in the past.

Steffy: Yeah, but the thought of raising our kids without you, I mean, it was… it was a lot. Um… god, I used to wake up in a panic. You know, my heart was racing and I remember just reaching out, seeing if you were there.

Finn: Hey, I am not going anywhere.

Steffy: Okay.

Brooke: My daughter has gone a little off course and that’s just not like her.

Ridge: It’s just a little bump, that’s all. I mean, look at us.

Brooke: Let’s not compare hope to our romance and what we’ve been through.

Ridge: I’m not saying that at all. I just– we had our challenges and we’re here, that’s all.

Carter: Yeah, it’s a good thing your amazing, talented friend convinced you to look through the keyhole and see your future.

Ridge: It’s unbelievable. And I will find a way to thank my amazing, talented friend.

Carter: I’m counting on it. Anyway, I have to hop on a conference call with the distributors. You’re welcome.

Ridge: Oh, boy.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Well, I am happy that I’m the one that’s responsible for bringing you peace and happiness to your life. But I can’t be the only one.

Ridge: You are.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Well, you and thomas. I mean, look, as a parent, you just want your kid to be happy, right? And that’s what he is. He’S… he’s a changed man. You believe that, right?

Hope: You know, I never thought I would do something like this. Being with another man when I’m still technically married.

Thomas: Hey, don’t do that to yourself.

Hope: No, no, no. No. It’s okay. I’m not ashamed. I’m not, thomas, really. I do hate what I’m doing to liam and what this is going to do to my family, but at the same time, I just… I’ve wanted you for so long.

Thomas: Hm.

Hope: And uh, yeah, it’s even better than I imagined.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Thomas: Well, I totally agree with that. I mean, this– this is not something I ever expected, but I’m sure happy it happened.

Hope: Me too. I– I really did try to do the right thing and I fought this really hard, but I just… I couldn’t resist you any longer. “Look at this skin, baby.

Finn: Hey. You all right?

Steffy: Uh, just thinking about that time. It was… the darkest chapter of my life. Thinking that you were gone. Hayes losing his father.

Finn: I wish you never had to go through that.

Steffy: I… it was torture. Oh, it was torture. You know, I was paralyzed. Every minute felt like hours, then a miracle happened.

[ Bell ringing ]

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy!

It’s me! Babe, that’s what you need to focus on, okay? Our incredible reunion. Reliving all that other stuff, it’s just– it’s not gonna help. It’s behind us.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. I know. And I do feel better that you said that because I don’t– I don’t ever wanna go through that again.

Finn: You never will.

Brooke: Well, I, um, I still have questions about what happened in rome, but I do know that my daughter initiated the kiss and thomas, he’s been amazing, actually. He’s kept his vow to be very professional with hope, working with her all this time and I appreciate that.

Ridge: He would love to hear you say that.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I’ve been meaning to talk to him about it. I just haven’t found the right time. But, I am driving that way, so maybe I could swing by his place and just have a little chat with him.

Ridge: Really?

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Thank you.

Brooke: Hope’s really gotta fix this. She needs to be with her family and back in the arms of the man she loves.

Ridge: Bye.

Hope: I got so defensive with my mom. I just really let her have it.

Thomas: She’s your mom. I’m sure she’s– she’s already forgiven you.

Hope: I don’t know. I just… I was pretty brutal and she did not deserve it.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I bet she’s already forgotten about it.

Hope: I hope so. I think I pushed back so hard because I was in denial, you know? My feelings for you. I just did not want to admit that she was right.

Thomas: That you fell for the bad boy.

Hope: Former bad boy, sir, all right? Don’t forget that because you are thoughtful and you are kind and…

Thomas: Well, you bring it out of me.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Ugh, my entire world is falling apart as we speak, and yet, somehow, being here with you, it just… it fades away. I just…

when you’re ready to go

Steffy: Watching everything that’s going on between liam and hope, it really makes me appreciate what we have.

Finn: Honestly, me too.

Steffy: God, it’s such a mess.

Finn: Yeah, it’s a major test to see if their love is as strong as it appears. I mean, look, no marriage is perfect. If they want it to work, they need to put each other first and fight for it.

Steffy: Yeah, but that’s not going to be easy. We all know how liam feels about thomas. I mean, what happened in rome when we confirmed his fears about my brother. Liam’s devastated.

Finn: Okay, well liam needs to get over it and put his family first.

Steffy: I’m just– I’m just still blown away by all of it. Like, how does she give in to her feelings? Like how does she fall for thomas? She insisted that I had nothing to worry about. She said it to my face that she didn’t have feelings for thomas. She really is a logan after all.

Carter: Ridge, thomas really knocked it out of the park with these designs.

Ridge: You always knew he could do it.

Carter: Yeah.

Ridge: He’s his own worst enemy.

Carter: Yeah, he could’ve stayed on that path, but he got it together. It’s not easy.

Ridge: It’s not easy. Especially when it comes to his obsession with hope, but he did it. He moved past it. He changed his life. Even brooke can see that now.

Carter: Quite the turnaround.

Ridge: Yeah, and she’s on her way over there right now to talk to him about it.

Carter: Really?

Ridge: Yeah, [Indistinct] Look. It was a kiss! Brooke has nothing to worry about when it comes to hope and thomas, trust me.

Hope: Don’t stop.

[ Hope panting ]

Brooke: Thomas? The door was open.

[ Brooke panting ]

[ Whispering ] Oh, my god. Hope! Oh, my god. What are you doing?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, baby. I’ll pick you up in plenty of time to get to the funeral. I love you too, sweetness.

Yeah. Too early? No, no. Fine. Come on in. How you doing, man? Any news on your granddaughter? Not a word. It’s obvious that Kristen has got her. We just don’t know where the hell she took her.

May I help? No. Looks like you got your hands full anyway. It’s okay. These are actually just pictures of Abe on taking over the church for the funeral. But I thought, I thought that sounded helpful. No, you don’t have to. You don’t have to. Honestly, I’m, I’m, I’m just doing this to, Do something to keep me from going crazy.

It’s kind of pointless, don’t you think? Since we both know exactly where Rachel is anyway.

If this is the police again, let me remind you, you will need another warrant if you want to come in. Kristen, Kristen, it’s me. Oh my God. Lonnie? Oh my God. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Mama, do you need any help? Well, baby, can you send Lonnie in, please? Oh, well, she just went out to run an errand. But, why don’t you let me help you?

Oh.

Mama. Oh. Oh. Oh, baby, no, uh uh. Don’t, don’t you start crying, too. No. And I’ll try not to. And you know, I can dole out tissues just as well as Lonnie can. Thank you. Oh. I just did my makeup for the third time. Oh. If I can’t make it through getting ready, how else am I going to get through Abraham’s funeral?

Good morning, sunshine. Here’s your breakfast and a soft boiled egg just the way you like it. Doesn’t Paulina take good care of you, darling? You are not. Paulina. You are not my wife.

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

there anything I can do to help? Mmm, wish there were. Cops have searched that mansion from top to bottom. They got nothing. Alright, so assuming Kristen is hiding Rachel. What do you think her endgame is? Take the kid and run? Eh, it’s doubtful. If she were to blow out of Salem for good, that would mean that she is ready to give up on Brady.

I don’t see that happening. But I’ve got her under surveillance 24 7 just in case. Well, that’s good. Yeah. Can I get you a cup of coffee? You look like you could use it. Oh, thanks, partner. Yeah, black and strong.

Did you get any sleep at all last night? No, not really. I think I nodded off for a minute or so, but every time I did, I had a nightmare. About Rachel? No. About Abe.

Second time, I had the exact same dream. Second time. On the dock, Abe is right there, same place where he fell into the water. And he just looks at me and then he turns around. Disappears. That shook me up too. Yeah, yeah, um.

I’m gonna say something that sounds a little bit out there. I’m starting to wonder

if maybe somehow it was more than a dream.

Mama, you have always been so strong for me. How about you let me be strong for you now? Especially since Big Mama can’t be here. Just looking at you gives me strength, my precious girl. Well, I’m here for you, Mama, always. And, I just want to say that I am so, so very grateful for the man that Abe was to you.

The way he loved and respected you. And I’m also grateful for, for what he meant to me. He was so kind and caring and, well, I had a dad again. After so many years without one. Yes. Yes you did. We both were so, so very lucky, weren’t we? To have that wonderful man in our lives. I

guess maybe I’m not as strong as I thought I was. Oh, baby. We just have to lean on each other. Okay?

Oh, Abraham, that’s just crazy talk. Of course I’m Paulina. Who else would I be? I saw her picture. And it wasn’t you. Abraham, you’re not a well man. Your memory’s very fuzzy. But you know what? This medicine will get you all cleared up.

No. No, no, no. I, uh, I don’t want it. I don’t want it. Ah, no, no, please. Ah!

I know you believe that Kristen is behind Rachel’s disappearance. I don’t believe it. I know it. I know it. I mean, think about it. I mean, if, if she was actually missing, why would Kristen demand a warrant from the police in order to search the house? Hmm? Yeah. Yeah. I understand what you’re saying. And if Kristen really believed that her daughter had run away or had been kidnapped…

She would leave no stone unturned to find her. Exactly. Exactly. She would be out here. She would be searching. Instead, I’m out here running around in circles while she’s sitting on her ass at the DiMera mansion right now. Honey, I can’t believe that you’re free. How did you manage that? Well, I’m not exactly free.

I’m out on furlough. So I can attend my dad’s funeral. Oh, sweetheart, I am so sorry about Abe. He was such a wonderful man. Yeah, he was the best. Anyway, um, I, I can’t stay long. I’m just, I had to see you. Especially when I heard that Rachel was missing. I know. It’s so awful. I mean, Brady made her go to that damn stupid camp.

And, of course, she hated it and she ran away. And, and now she’s disappeared into thin air and I’m just, I’m so worried about her. Uh huh. What? Uh huh. You wouldn’t by chance be lying to me, would you? Sister?

Theo, come in, come in. Hey, Chanel. Hello. Oh, good, good. You’re here. I asked Theo to go with us to the funeral. Oh, oh. I hope it’s okay. Of course it is. Why would you even ask? I’m glad we’re all going together. That’s right. Well, actually we’re not. What? Why not? Because I want you to swing by the Johnsons and pick up those pictures of Abraham.

Oh, but I can just text them to bring the pictures. Please! Just do that for me, okay? Theo and I will meet you at the church. Okay, um, sure.

Okay, love you, okay? Alright, I’ll see you guys there.

Uh, Paulina? I’m not great at reading social cues, but um, did you just send Shenandoah on purpose? You might be better at reading those cues than you think. Because, uh, oh, yes, yes, honey, I did. Theo, there’s something I want to talk to you about.

So, you think this dream was… More like a premonition.

I don’t know, man. I don’t know, maybe I’m just unsettled by Abe’s death, by all these unanswered questions. Especially coming off what we just went through with Doc and Kayla. Yeah, man, I hear you. You remember I had that dream about Kayla? She was still alive, trying to reach me? Yes, exactly. That’s exactly what this feels like.

Like, like somehow Ibrahim is trying to reach out, is asking for help. So do you think he might still be alive? It’s possible, isn’t it? I mean, think about it. Think about it. We don’t know how he disappeared from the hospital. We don’t know where the hell he was the whole time he was gone. We don’t know how he got down to the pier or why he went into the water.

Now obviously, we can’t say anything to Pauline about this until we have something concrete to go on. But none of this stuff is adding up. Okay, I agree. But dude, listen, we’ve been over this evidence a million times. Buddy, we just gotta do what we do best, and that is we go back to the beginning, from the moment that he disappeared from that hospital, we retreat every step here, because partner, we gotta be missing something.

Okay, we do what we always do, we go right back to the beginning, we start with what we know. And that is… There’s King’s statement.

Now, Abe, sugar, you just let that medicine do its work on you, and all of those thoughts will seem like a bad dream. I am your Paulina, darling, and I love you.

Who is it? It’s me. What are you doing here? All of our business is done. Why are you so freaked out to see me all of a sudden? What’s going on? Oh my God. What have you done to him?

Do you really think that Kristen has Rachel hidden in the mansion? Mm hmm. I know it. I know it. I feel it in my bones. I know it. You know, in fact, what am I doing out here? I’m going to the DiMera mansion right now, and I’m going to get the truth out of Kristen once and for all. I’m, I’m, I gotta go. No, Grady, you can’t do that.

You can’t.

Shirley, after all that time we spent together in the convent, you wouldn’t break the ninth commandment. And which one is that again? Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor. In other words, bitch, don’t lie to your best friend. I’m not lying to my best friend. Look, the police came and searched this place top to bottom.

If Rachel was here, they would have found her, wouldn’t they? No offense to my former colleagues, but if anyone PD, it’s you. I am flattered you think so, but Rachel is not here. Okay, then why aren’t you out looking for her? I, I doubt that you would be here shooting the breeze with me if Rachel was really missing.

You know kidnapping is a crime, right? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, okay, hold on, just, let’s just say, theoretically, I had her. I mean, how could that be kidnapping? She is my daughter. You cannot be this stupid. You are the non custodial parent, Kristen. Listen to me. Hey. You just got out of prison, and I have to go back inside later today.

Little advice? Not that you’re asking for it. Enjoy your freedom. Find a way to legally enjoy time with your daughter. Yeah, but I cannot, um, I can’t even see my daughter unless Brady… I know. Unless you work things out with Brady. Yes. You can do that. Kristen, you both love Rachel. So start there. Take that first step.

Okay? If, if you know where Rachel is, now is the time to tell Brady.

So, what did you want to talk to me about? Well, sweetheart, um, I know you’re planning on, uh, giving the eulogy at your, your father’s funeral. And, you know, I think that’s… So brave of you, especially since Abe told me how much you hate speaking in public. I’m just not good at it. Oh, that’s not true. You did an amazing job delivering his speech on Juneteenth.

I got through it, anyway. Oh, no, you did better than that. Um, the thing is, uh, Theo, today is going to be a very emotional day. And, well, if it’s too hard for you to give a speech, I… Well, I just don’t want you to feel the pressure of anyone else’s expectations. I don’t really. I just… Well, I want to give the speech for my dad.

That’s what helped me get through the Juneteenth one. And, yeah, it’s gonna be hard, but I’m used to it. I’ve done hard things my whole life. And you’ve done them very well, Theo. Thanks. But I am really nervous about today, so… Paulina, could I ask you a favor? Anything, baby. Do you mind if I practice my speech on you?

For the Juneteenth one, I practiced with Chad, and maybe practicing would help. I I just don’t want to upset you, though. Upset me? Oh, well, if I could get out all my tears right now, right here in my own home, I’d be very grateful to you. Okay.

Um, I don’t usually like hugging people when I’m feeling upset, but can I hug you? Oh, of course. Oh, come here. You come here, honey. Oh.

Okay, Rafe and Eli both talked to Nurse King and her story’s been consistent. She said she, uh, went in to check on Abe. Noted that he was confused and she left. When she came back into the room, he was gone. He had none of the hospital cameras picked up any of his movements. Which makes it kind of hard to believe he was just wandering around out there.

You know what I feel?

It feels to me that someone had moved Abe in that hospital. We knew exactly where all the cameras were. It may be someone who worked in the hospital. But Kayla talked to everybody who was on duty that night. And she said no one saw any of that. That brings us right back to Nurse King. Okay. Eli did a background check on her.

And Kayla said she’s one of those exemplary employees. She’s had the same shift for 15 years. She never took any time off except for when her husband died a few years back. Oh, she left work early on the day Abe disappeared, right? She told the police she was sick. So she was sick on the day Abe disappeared, but didn’t miss a day of work for 15 years.

Until her husband died.

Hey, Mr. Johnson. Hey, Chanel. Come on in. Hey, Chanel. Hi, Mr. Black. I’m profoundly sorry, honey. I bet you’re here for those pictures your mom asked for. Yeah, Kayla found them. They’re right here. Thank you need?

Oh, no, thank you. We have everything we need and then some. Everyone’s been so kind. Coworkers, friends, total strangers. I mean, Abe’s nurse even stopped by to see if Mama was okay the other day. Nurse King? Um, I think that was her name. Uh, why?

Abe is fine. I had to sedate him, okay? Which is all your fault, by the way. My fault? What are you even talking about? Abe saw you on Body and Soul. And then he saw your name in the credits. He figured out that you’re not his son, so I had no choice but to give him a little break from reality. Oh my god, this isn’t right.

That’s what I came here to talk to you about, okay? I met Abe’s son and his daughter, and they’re wrecked. I mean, they love this guy, and they think that he’s dead. All because of you and this crazy scheme of yours. Okay, this is not some crazy scheme, Jerry. I love this man. He was meant for me and I’m the only one that can take care of him the way I can.

Yeah, right. Like you’re caring for him right now? Keeping him cooped up and sedated and away from his family? If you really cared about him, you would let him go. You shut up. You shut up! You have no idea what his life was like with those people. Yeah, you’re right. I don’t. And neither do you. But what I do know is that they’ll be grieving for no damn reason.

And that they’ll be crying at his funeral when he’s sitting in there, right under their noses. Yeah, well, not for long. I’m leaving Salem, and I’m taking Abraham with me.

Lonnie, I know that you’re out on parole in six months, and I don’t want you to do or say anything that might jeopardize you getting back to your family. Wow. So, in other words… In other words… I know that you, as someone who… Who’s been unfairly, um, separated from their children. You know, exactly, exactly how I feel.

I actually do. And Kristen, I want the best for you and for Rachel. I know how much you love her. But Brady is that child’s father. And he loves her too. Yeah, but I, I just, I don’t get to see her. I don’t, I know, Kristen, and I know you still have feelings for him. So, why do you want him to suffer? Huh?

All this time, Kristen, that I have been away from my babies. They’ve had Eli. Thank God. I can’t even imagine. How painful it would be for them to be separated from him right now. He is their world. And like it or not, that is what Brady is for Rachel. God, God watch me, why don’t you? Just think about it. Okay?

God. I have to get to the church. Look, I love you. I love you, too. You know that. Oh. I know.

You know what? I really wish I could be there at the service for you and Theo. I just don’t think anybody is gonna want me there. I would’ve wanted you there. Look, don’t, don’t worry about that. Okay? You just… You focus on reuniting your beautiful family. Do that.

It’s so wonderful to see you. Please, I just, I hope we get to see each other very soon. We will. Here. In Salem. Not in federal prison. Okay. Okay. I love you.

I will be. Civilized with Kristen, okay? Since when has civilized ever worked with her? Brady, let me do it. Wait, what? Let me go to the mansion and try to talk to her. No, uh, Marlena, you… No, no, no. I may not be a trained detective. But I am trained in knowing when somebody is lying to me. And I am trained in…

Having people open up to me. Man, nobody’s better at doing that than you, that’s for sure. Alright, I will go there as soon as I drop the pictures off. Okay, alright, alright, maybe, maybe, maybe you can get through to Kristen. Find out where my little girl is. I will do my damnedest. I know you will. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

And I didn’t think my father would fall in love with anyone else ever again. Not after my mother died. But, then he met this amazing woman, who changed his life. And she changed mine too. She always makes me feel important. She has a talent for that with everyone she cares about. And even when she made my dad angry, like when she was gonna demolish a town square, which would have been very dumb.

Oh, um, maybe I should… Take that part out. I know sometimes I can be too blunt. That’s very blunt, for sure. But, it’s, it’s, it’s true. So, keep it. Just, just keep it. Go on. Okay, um, where was I? Uh, oh, I got it. Um, And even when my dad was upset with her, They worked it out because they were made for each other. My dad really loved Paulina because she’s such a fun, interesting person.

And I love her too. I may not be her flesh and blood, but she treats me like I am.

I’ll take care of her, Dad.

I promise. Oh, we’ll take care of each other.

So, Nurse King came to your apartment? Yeah, Mama said she wanted to give her condolences when she found out the news that Ape had died. That was very nice of her. Yeah. I wonder how she got your address. Uh, she probably got it from his patient file. Or maybe she got it when she worked on Abe’s last mayoral campaign.

She was on Abe’s campaign? Yeah. She was a big supporter of his. She was even at the park for the Juneteenth celebration when they got married. Um. Anyway, um. I should get going. Thanks again for the treat. We’ll see you real soon, okay? Bye.

Kinda seems to me, we need to take a harder look at Nurse King.

What do you mean you’re leaving Salem? I’m quitting my job and I’m taking Abe somewhere far, far away from here where we can have a fresh start. I’ve been saving up for years, so we’ll lack for nothing. And speaking of money, there’s a big bonus in it for you if you would leave town too. You want me to leave Salem?

Why? Why do you think. You’re up to your neck in this mess too, and it would be better if you were away from here, somewhere, away from prying eyes and all the questions that you seem oh too ready to answer. But… Look, look, look, you’re an actor, right? You want to stay here and say hello to this? Nothing for you here.

Last I checked, they weren’t shooting any movies and TV shows here, right? No, definitely not. Okay. Well, look, I gotta get back in there to Abe. I’ll be in touch about the bonus. Just not a word to anyone. Okay?

Jerry. Why, why was he here? Oh, Theo forgot something. He had to come all the way back from South Africa. Isn’t that something? He’s not my son. It’s not Thea. Of course he’s your son. Silly. Don’t be so silly. Well, listen, I’ve got to go to the hospital and take care of a few things, but while I’m gone, you’re going to watch your stories.

Just let your friends from Pineview keep you company. What do you say? And when I come back… Darling, we’re going to start a whole new life together. Not the, uh, not my son.

Hmm. Well, I’m gonna see you two cupcakes and raise you, uh, a piece of gum. Am I interrupting? Uh, no. Um, it’s okay. Uh, you know, you could have used the front door like a normal person. I know. But then you wouldn’t have answered the door. I don’t mind going through the tunnels. I know my way around down there, having been held captive there a number of times.

Ah, yes, and so here you are. And to what do I owe the pleasure? Smart as you are, I think that you can figure out that I’m here on Brady’s behalf. About Rachel. Ah, and did you take a good look around for her while you were downstairs? In fact, I did. Yes, then you’d see for yourself that, uh, Rachel is not here.

I don’t believe you. Why don’t you make it easy on yourself? And everybody who loves Rachel. Tell me where my granddaughter is. So how you

holding up, son? Dad, I’m, uh, I’m nervous. Marlena just went over to confront Kristen about Rachel. Yeah, yeah, she told me that. Hang on a second. Hey, John. I just gave Kayla a ride back to the hospital. I’m gonna check and see if Nurse King is on shift. Maybe have a word with her. Alright, sounds good. Let me know what’s going on.

Will do.

Who are you, and why do you want to talk to me?

See, I told you they would accept you as their long lost heir, Kyle Von Furstenberg. Good

work. Well now, our business is concluded. Good. Because I’m tired of this charade. I am not Kyle.

I cannot see you either. It was a beautiful service, Mama. It was, wasn’t it? Seemed like the whole town was there. So many people I didn’t even know. Yeah. Uh, but I didn’t see Nurse King. Did, did any of you? No, but maybe she had work? I didn’t either, but I did see that guy Jerry at the back of the church.

Jerry, who was that? He’s the one who saw Dad fall into the river. Lonnie and I met him the other day. He was feeling guilty because he felt like he should have done more to save Dad, but… He can’t swim. Well, then what could he have done? That’s what I said. Well, I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I am ready to go home.

Yeah, me too. Wait, hey, Mom, do you mind if I just stay here for a little bit? I just, I need a minute. It’s not like they can’t keep tabs on me.

All right, all right, but just don’t stay too long. You know Rafe will be at the apartment soon because I know. He’s gonna take me back to prison. I know. Please do not worry. I will be there in time, okay?

Wait Before Lonnie and Eli showed up. You said that you had something to tell me. What is it? Oh I Just wanted to say again how terrible I feel about your dad, and I want you to know how Deep piece of her head.

Your psychological insight knows no bounds, really. You demand that I tell you what you want, but, uh, you really think that’s gonna work, Dr. Evans? Only yesterday, I helped you through hypnosis to get your memories back. When your sister kidnapped you. And injected you with mind altering drugs? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and I, I, I remember, uh, I thanked you for that.

Yes, but you didn’t pay me for it. Now, I, I, I don’t, uh, I don’t want your money. But you could pay me by letting me know where my granddaughter is. Hmm. Well, I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that. Kristen, you can’t keep going on like this. If you truly love Okay, just Stop.

If I did know where Rachel was, and I’m not saying I do, I’m not willing to give that information up for nothing.

I would need something in return.

Hopefully, hopefully Marlene will be able to get through to Chris. I was really hoping to hear from her by now. I just, um, gotta be patient. Hasn’t been that long yet.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Dr. Abraham. Most honorable man I’ve ever known. Best friend that any man could ever ask for. Cheers. Cheers.

My name is Steve Johnson. I was a good friend of Mayor Carver’s. Oh, you’re Dr. Johnson’s husband. Oh, I recognize you from the hospital Christmas party. You’re the one eyed Santa. Yeah, that’s me. Yeah. Well, uh, what do you want to talk to me about? Well, Abe’s stepdaughter mentioned to me that, uh, you’d worked on his election campaign.

Oh, yes, I did. I’m a huge supporter of Mayor Carver. And you were at, uh, his wedding to Paulina Price? Well, I was at the Juneteenth celebration, if that’s what you mean, along with the whole town. I also woke up early to watch Princess Diana’s wedding. What does that have to do with anything? Well, I’m just wondering if you could tell me…

Exactly what Abe said to you before he disappeared. I’ve already told the police everything, and I don’t mean to be rude, but I really do have to get going. Actually, I need to speak with your wife. Do you know if she’s in her office? She is. She just got back. What do you need to talk to her about? Actually, I’m tendering my resignation.

Oh, really? Why’s that?

So, uh, how about I make some zucchini bread, or pumpkin bread, or oatmeal cookies? I’m not hungry. Mama, you have to eat. Maybe later. Do you believe what they said? What? Who said? Everyone. About how my dad’s in a better place.

I sure hope so, honey. Oh, I sure hope so.

Uh, what do you not understand about goodbye? You are dense. Go.

What now?

Devon: Yes, it will. And you know, you are a big reason for that.

Abby: Mm.

Devon: ‘Cause this is where we both realized we’re in love with each other.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I’ll never forget that. And now, it’s lily’s turn to make brand new memories.

Lily: Okay, can I tell you a secret?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: So, I have always envied devon’s place and now I get to live there.

Daniel: You’re really excited about this move, aren’t you?

Lily: Yeah. I’m really excited, I am.

Daniel: I bet you have a million new decorating ideas.

Lily: Uh, no, actually. I’m gonna leave it the way it is for now. Devon’s leaving it furnished, he’s not taking anything to chancellor mansion. But, um, I’ll add my own personal touches to it.

Daniel: Okay. But if you do need any help visualizing, you know, I can always work up some, uh, sketches for you.

Lily: Floor plans and a video of my own likeness? How did I get so lucky?

Daniel: Well, you are queen liliana, remember?

Lily: That’s right.

[ Lily laughing ] Well, you’re very generous, thank you. I wish you didn’t have your meeting later, you could come with me to grab the keys.

Daniel: Ah, it’s okay. I’m sure I’m gonna see your new place very, very soon.

Lily: Okay, good.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Yeah. Part of me does care about my brother.

Sally: Hmm. Wasn’t so hard to admit, was it?

Nick: He is my brother and that is never going to change. Now, it doesn’t mean I trust him because I don’T. Not even a little bit. I wish I did, but he has let me and the family down so many times.

Sally: Yeah, he definitely has a knack for letting people down. But somehow, he makes people want to help him. I don’t know if it’s because we’re hoping that he eventually becomes the person that he’s really supposed to be.

Nick: I mean, if only we knew who that person was.

Sally: Well, he has moments of actual change, but they never last long.

Nick: Doesn’t stop my dad, though. He is never going to give up hope, and I respect that as a father.

Sally: So, you think you can do it? Work with adam?

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: I mean, it’s what my dad wants, and vic is clearly trying to squeeze me out of newman. Kind of think I have to consider it.

Sally: I agree with your father.

Nick: Wait, what? What’d you say?

Sally: I think your brother could use your sturdier, more positive influence. If you can handle it… I think you should say yes.

Adam: You’re proposing a merger?

Sharon: That’s right. Your new company with the company that cameron left me. We could run them together.

[ Adam chuckling ]

Adam: Seriously?

Sharon: Kirsten incorporated is a tech company. They create the kind of technology used by companies like mccall. It’s a perfect symbiosis. A win for both of us.

Adam: Okay, um, let’s hold on a second. Let’s just– let’s back it up. Cameron left you his company. Why?

Sharon: I’ve given up on trying to figure that out.

Adam: And you decided that you want to keep it and you want to merge it with my new company?

Sharon: Smart move, right?

Adam: Okay, um, let’s just hold off. Where is this idea coming from, and why in a million years would you think it’s a good idea for the two of us to partner up?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sharon: After everything that happened with the cameron ordeal, I just feel like I need a change. A new focus.

Adam: I mean, I– are you sure you don’t want to just sell it and be done with anything and everything that has to do with that psychopath?

Sharon: That was my first instinct. To get far away from anything connected with cameron as fast as I could. But now, I’m looking at the whole thing from a new perspective. Maybe that madman leaving me his company was some kind of a sign.

Adam: Right. Right. It was a sign to go with your first instinct.

Sharon: I’m sure he felt that he could keep his grips on me from beyond the grave, but it could be a sign that I’m supposed to try to make something good out of the bad. It’s almost as if that creepy weird move he made has galvanized something in me. Something that’s been bubbling for… a while now.

Adam: And that is?

Sharon: I don’t know. A new sense of purpose, something to feel passionate about. Maybe it’s something that I’ve been yearning for since rey died, but I was never willing to let it come to the surface. Or maybe this recent horrific event has shaken that loose. There must be something I can do with cameron’s company to make it useful.

Adam: I guess anything is possible.

Sharon: Just think. I could be a job creator on a grand scale. Really give something back to the world. Make a difference.

Adam: Sounds like you are really serious about this.

Sharon: I know it’s a bit different than my specific business experience, but the parallels are there. The way to run any successful business is to assemble the right team to support it and maintain a focused mission.

Adam: I mean, you could make kirsten incorporated a force for good, all on its own. Don’t need me, or any other company to do that.

Sharon: Your company’s product is media. Mine is the technology that carries that product to the consumer. We could be more effective, more efficient, and certainly more lucrative, together. Don’t you see how this could be good for everyone?

Abby: Have I told you lately how special you are and how much you mean to me?

Devon: I never get tired of hearing it.

[ Abby chuckling ]

Abby: I know this move is a big sacrifice. But here you are, doing it for dominic, with no regrets.

Devon: Of course. I’ll always live my life for dominic, you know that. And plus, I’m happy that he gets to have a connection to his great-grandma, just by livin’ in that house. It’s special for him.

Abby: Yeah, but this place will always have a special part of his heart.

Devon: Oh.

Abby: And mine as well.

Devon: Not changing your mind, are you?

Abby: No, I’m not changing my mind, I just–

Devon: Are you sure?

Abby: This is the first place that we lived together as a couple, and– I don’t know, there’s a lot of memories here. I’m just happy that we can come back and visit lily any time we want.

Devon: That’s right. Worked out well for everyone, didn’t it?

Abby: Yeah.

[ Abby sighing ]

Devon: Oh. You ready?

Abby: Yeah.

[ Abby chuckling ]

Devon: Bye for now.

Chloe: Hey, this is huge. Taking over as creative director at marchetti? I mean, this is a big get for you. You deserve it. You really deserve it, though. You are so talented. And just think, with you in that position, maybe I could get some deals with marchetti, and, well, you know that home line that phyllis started a while ago? Maybe then sally and I can get some deals on her products, and then use the line for our interior design business. Ugh! This is so great. I mean, mostly– mostly for you, but– but for me, too.

Billy: And just like that, you gotta say yes. For chloe’s sake, if not your own.

Chloe: Huh?

Nick: That is a switch.

Sally: Huh. When you first came to me with victor’s proposal, I was adamant that adam didn’t need any help, least of all from you.

Nick: So, what happened to make you change your mind?

Sally: I have just been so furious with adam. This deep, agonizing anger and fury that just compounded my own pain.

Nick: But there must have been some catalyst for this change of heart, sally.

Sally: I read adam’s letter. And I have to admit, it… touched me.

Nick: I thought you threw it away.

Sally: Well, I did. Until I didn’T. I’m afraid my curiosity got the best of me.

Nick: Ah. I don’t need to read that. Most important thing is how you felt after you read it.

Sally: It seemed like a cry for help. You know, he wanted to meet with me and work together through this pain, like two parents who shared a common loss.

Nick: So, did you meet with him?

Sally: I couldn’t bring myself to do it. But you know, the more time I thought about it, I started to see… a different perspective about what adam has been going through. Yes, I’m still angry, and I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be able to accept his decision to not fight for our little girl, but… it cost adam, too. He took a hit and suffered a loss as well.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you finally see it that way.

Sally: Yeah, it’s a profound and life-changing experience to live with. I think he needs someone, nick. And that someone could be you. Sometimes jonah wrestles with falling asleep…

Adam: Look, sharon, I have a very broad vision for the company. But it does not include a partnership. I’m sure that you can find the right partnership for what you’re looking for. I mean, maybe you could, uh, hook up with nick. Evidently, he’s been squeezed out of newman. You could probably hire him as a consultant.

Sharon: Well, that’s not what I’m interested in. This is about a partnership. A merger. An opportunity for both of us to strengthen our companies. And we’d have to run the numbers, but from what I can discern, this is a cost-effective move. Why are you not interested?

Adam: It’s– it’s not what I have planned.

Sharon: Well, you’re a visionary, so open your mind and envision this. You and me, working together, balancing each other out.

Adam: Oh, so on my own I’m unbalanced, is that what you’re pointing to?

Sharon: You’re just looking for a reason to be offended. I meant that you would balance me out.

Adam: Listen to me, come on, sharon. I know you, okay? I know what you’re doing. You’re trying to save me from myself. This is about ava and it’s about sally, but I don’t need anyone’s pity, okay? Definitely not from you.

Sharon: No pity. I promise. Just partnership.

Adam: Listen to me. Think– think this through, sharon. If I feel you’re trying to manage me, I’m gonna be difficult and I’m gonna be argumentative. I’m gonna question every move you make. I’m gonna second guess every look you give me. This evolving friendship that we’ve managed to maintain, it’s gonna be blown to hell. Are you willing to risk that? Because I’m not. Not when you’re one of the only friends I have in this town.

Chloe: You know, I was just giving my friend a career pep talk and I was going quite well without you intrusion.

Billy: Pep talk, right? Uh, to me it sounded like you’re doing a bang-up job explaining what’s in it for you. Truth be told, I’m– I’m on her side. I think it would be a great opportunity for you. It’s bold. It’s big picture, and with your talent, I think you’d knock it out of the park.

Chelsea: Thank you. I’ve been thinking about it, too, you know? My time with omegasphere is almost over and I need a new direction. Working on the game has been helpful and cathartic, but I need to focus on the future and I love fashion design. And I’ve run my own business before. I know both sides of the industry.

Chloe: I can vouch for that.

Chelsea: I mean, wouldn’t it be cool? Wouldn’t it be great? This company that’s already established, already so big, they already have funding. They already have support.

Billy: So? Go for it.

Chloe: It would be a great new challenge for you.

Chelsea: I think you’re right. I think I have to do it. Well, I– I just have to run it by the boss first.

Chloe: Ah. Connor.

Chelsea: Yeah. We thought he was bouncing back. He was acting like his old self again and now he’s just shut down. I think he had gotten really used to the idea of having a baby sister. But maybe my exciting new job news will help break him out of his shell.

Summer: When I saw mom, all I wanted to do was hug her. I mean, obviously, I love her, and I– I miss her so much, but at the same time, I am so mad at her for everything that she’s done.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, that’s mom. Frustrating as hell.

[ Summer sighing ] What’s the plan? Is she ready to stop living on the run?

Summer: I think she wants to, but we’ve gotta find that carson guy, get him to testify to what a psychotic menace stark was.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah, the emt.

Summer: Yeah. And the problem is, he’s apparently, like, fallen off the face of the earth. No one can find him, so mom is relying on michael to track him down, and when he does that, maybe then, she can come home without going directly to jail.

Daniel: That’s a lot of ground to cover.

Summer: Mmm. Yep. I want mom to come home. I do, but there’s still a part of me that–

Daniel: You’re mad at her. Like, I get it.

Summer: Yeah. Yeah. And she– she was apologizing to me for everything that she’s put me through, and I– I just told her, flat out. She should be.

Daniel: Yeah. I’m sure that landed well.

Summer: She started promising that when she gets back, she’s gonna fix everything for me, as long as she’s not behind bars.

Daniel: Oh. Mom unleashed and ready to solve all of your problems, that just sounds like a dangerous combination.

Summer: Yeah. It is the last thing that I want, but I just gotta tell myself that there is gonna be time to fix all of this emotional stuff. Right? When she’s home, and safe and free, you know? Can’t really do any real healing until this nightmare’s over.

Daniel: Maybe that feeling will lead to some forgiveness between you and kyle.

Summer: I can’t force kyle to forgive me. He– he’s barely speaking to me as it is. He’s already moved on to a new job at newman media.

Daniel: Really? That was fast.

Summer: I know. Not to mention audra charles is now the acting ceo there and she’s a shark. She learned everything that she knows about business from tucker mccall. I don’t trust her. Not for a second.

Daniel: Mm, kyle’s smart. He’s a good businessman.

Summer: I’m just afraid that he’s making rash decisions. To prove a point that he– he’s not ready to hear anything like that from me.

Daniel: It’s– that’s gonna take time. You’re gonna have to give him time, but I’m sure– I’m sure kyle’s gonna get over this.

Summer: Maybe. Maybe once mom is home, he’ll be more receptive. Right now, he’s not listening to me at all. I just feel like we’re in this… holding pattern. Right now, all– all I can do is… let it go. Choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine –

Abby: Hi, hello!

Devon: There she is.

Lily: Hello. Hi. Did you leave my place in good condition? Hm?

Devon: Oh, that depends on what you consider good.

Abby: We even left a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge for you.

Devon: I did. Just a little something to christen the place.

Lily: Wow, thank you guys.

Devon: Of course. Thank you for keeping the penthouse in the family. It means a whole lot, you being there. And I even went ahead and I left some of dad’s photos and his favorite albums for you.

Lily: Thank you. That means a lot. Yeah, I am very ready to move on from my place with billy.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: I have a feeling you’ve already moved on from billy.

Abby: You are gonna need someone to share that bottle of champagne with.

Devon: Mm-hmm. Wonder how much time daniel’s gonna be spending in the new spot?

Lily: Um, I don’t know.

Devon: That’S…

Lily: I’m just, you know, I’m along for the ride. I’m enjoying the journey.

Daniel: I know this is hard. Letting go is hard, and seeing kyle move in a different direction, away from your marriage, it has to be heartbreaking. Now, I know, because I dealt with the same thing with heather.

Summer: We’ve both made mistakes that cost us people we love.

Daniel: I couldn’t get my act together in time to save my relationship.

Summer: I hope that it isn’t too late for me and kyle. I mean, I am gonna try again, I am, once this whole crisis is over. I’m gonna remind him of how much we love each other. How no matter what we go through, we always end up together. I’m just– I’m just struggling so much right now. I mean, everything with marchetti, with mom, trying to make sure that harrison’s life isn’t turned upside down again.

Daniel: Definitely sounds like you have your hands full.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Daniel, promise me that you’re not gonna let any of this stop you. It seems like you’ve got a really good thing going with lily and I don’t want to see you screw that up.

Daniel: I swear. From now on, I will do whatever it takes to hold onto everything and everyone I love. And I am never gonna regret not doing enough again.

Nick: Well, my gut feeling is telling me that adam’s letter is yet another subtle attempt at playing with your emotions.

Sally: Subtle? Hardly. He definitely reached out in a very definitive way. But it didn’t seem manipulative. You know, when I read it, I could feel how real and raw his emotions were.

Nick: Yeah, adam is usually neither of those two things.

Sally: I just feel really bad for the way that I brushed him off. I was so angry and upset that I just ignored his reaction to everything that happened, you know? He’s been going through all this pain with no support from anyone.

Nick: Yeah, adam brings that on himself.

Sally: Yeah, I can’t deny that adam can be his own worst enemy. But I suspect, with this whole merry-go-round, that he could go into that dark place that everyone thinks he can, and I just don’t want that consequence on my conscience, do you?

Nick: So what are you saying? You’re gonna reach out to him? See if you can save him?

Sally: I don’t know if I’m ready for that. But I do know that it is not a good thing that he is out there on his own, all alone, with those thoughts spinning in his head.

[ Sally sighing ] He needs someone, nick. These hands used to hold me as a little girl.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nick: All right, I’m going to think about stepping in at mccall temporarily. I guess it’s better me than you.

Sally: I can handle myself. But I do not want you making any decisions about your future, or your career, based on what you think is best for me.

Nick: Well, it won’t be the only reason. What would be so wrong with that?

Sally: Look, I know that you want to be supportive and protective, but it’s– it’s not necessary. Give me a little more credit. And just try not think about the worst with adam. He needs you. Maybe now more than ever.

Nick: Well, I know my brother has issues, but I don’t think he’s needy.

Sally: Okay. Then what about you? You said that you need a safe place to land if you don’t go back to newman. You and adam got to a better place at one point. You think you can get there again? If you do it for adam, or you do it for you, good. But just please don’t do it because of me.

Abby: So, have you decided if you’re gonna make any changes to the decor at your new place?

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Lily: Uh, no, nothing major. I mean, I’ll add my own touches to it here and there, you know.

Devon: Well, make sure you know that you can change whatever you want. You can repaint, you can get new furniture ’cause it’s completely yours.

Lily: Well, thank you. It’s pretty fabulous as is.

[ Both laughing ]

Devon: Well, good. Um, I guess all that’s left is the, uh, ceremonial passing of the keys.

Lily: Ooh!

Abby: Ta-da!

Lily: Wow! Thank you, guys.

Devon: Congrats.

Lily: Oh, honestly, I’m so honored. I really am. And to be honest, I’m actually really excited for you two as well.

Devon: Oh, yeah?

Lily: Well, yeah. I mean, going to the chancellor mansion, I mean, that’s– it’s a big deal. You know? And you’re gonna make all these great memories, with dom, and have all these parties, and family events, right?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: I’m excited to be part of the adventure with you two. I am.

Devon: Well, thank you.

Lily: You’re welcome. Anyway, I’m gonna go and check out the albums that you left me, so thank you.

Devon: Please do.

Lily: And I will see you guys later.

Abby: Bye!

Devon: Enjoy yourself!

Lily: Okay. Bye.

Abby: Well, you certainly put her on the spot.

Devon: What do you mean on the spot?

Abby: About daniel?

Devon: Oh. She’s fine. If anything, I just gave her a little nudge.

Abby: Hmm.

Sharon: I understand. You know, you’ve been through a lot of transitions lately, and emotional trauma, and I can see why you would be concerned about keeping our friendship intact.

Adam: Okay. But you see, see, it’s– it’s that kind of language that makes me think that you’re acting out of pity.

Sharon: Oh, my gosh. Enough, adam. You have got to get over this assumption that caring is pity or that needing help is a sign of weakness. We know each other far too well for that.

Adam: Okay. Since you know me so well, you know why I’m concerned about rocking the boat on our somewhat fragile relationship.

Sharon: I don’t think this is nearly the risk to our friendship as you seem to think that it is. After everything that we’ve been through, we’ve still managed to get here now. I don’t think that being business partners is gonna change that. Won’t you at least give it a shot?

Adam: Look, I’m– I’m not a mess. And shutting down or falling apart or whatever everyone’s expecting of me. I don’t need saving from myself, it’s just– it’s how I feel.

Sharon: Adam, won’t you at least–

Adam: Look. Listen. I’m not saying no.

Sharon: I know that we’re gonna be terrific partners.

Adam: Okay. Not yet. However, I can see there might be some value in kirsten’s company. And I owe you. A lot. So if I can be any use to you, I have to consider what you’re suggesting.

Sharon: That’s all I ask. This isn’t charmin!

Abby: Cheers.

Devon: Cheers.

Adam: Well, look at this. What’s, uh, what’s the occasion?

Abby: Um, devon and i are moving into the chancellor estate and lily’s moving into the penthouse.

Adam: Well, I’ll assume that you didn’t force chance out against his will, so I guess congrats are in order?

Devon: Thank you.

Abby: Yes, you assumed correctly. It was actually chance’s idea for us to move.

Adam: How civil of him. Well, what’s lily doing with her old place? I, uh, I’m looking for a new base of operations.

Devon: She didn’t say what she’s gonna do with it, but you should reach out to her.

Adam: I will do that.

Devon: Yeah. How’s everything going with tucker’s company? You guys figured out a strategy to get it back on its feet?

Adam: Oh, come on, don’t tell me that you regret not taking it after you had your chance.

Devon: Oh, no. Not at all. I’m just curious.

Adam: Well, uh, since you asked, I’m in the middle of downsizing and trying to refocus our assets and divisions. Trying to streamline it into a top media corporation and gobble up the smaller ones. Like newman media. And there would only be two real media companies in this town, my company and chancellor’s media divisions.

Devon: That’s– that’s pretty ambitious, considering I’ve seen mccall’s books. You guys have a lot of work to do.

Adam: Oh, trust me. I am on it. Things are already falling into place.

Devon: Okay.

Adam: And I’m sure that you and lily will get a sense of, uh, satisfaction to see newman media eliminated. Be kind of, um, karmic justice to nate and audra for what they tried to do to chancellor-winters.

Lily: Oh, what? Excuse me, how did you get in here? And– oh, my god, how did you do this?

Daniel: Well, you know, believe it or not, I’ve kinda got an inside track with the previous owner.

Lily: Oh, that’s what devon meant when he was asking about you coming over. I thought he meant in the future.

Daniel: Well, at least he was able to keep my secret. Look, I just– I wanted this place to feel like home for you right off the bat. It’s a new beginning and it’s one you deserve.

Lily: Thank you. I love your optimism. It is so contagious. And I love that you’re always able to see the silver lining in things. Okay, should we christen this place now? Properly?

Daniel: Let’s do it.

Lily: Right?

Billy: There he is.

Chelsea: Oh. Hey! So, how did it go?

Billy: Did you score?

Connor: Yeah. Once.

Chelsea: Wha– that’s great!

Billy: It’s good!

Chelsea: That beats not scoring at all, right?

Billy: How ’bout a little ice cream to celebrate, huh? What’s your flavor?

Connor: I’m fine.

Billy: Really?

Connor: Yes.

Billy: Okay, well, I’m gonna go check and see what they got just in case you change your mind, all right? I’ll be back. Good job.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Connor: Why do I get the feeling you want to talk? Is this about the baby? Don’t tell me you want to talk about that again.

Chelsea: Only if you want to. Connor… a lot of things have happened lately and I’m sure you have mixed feelings about everything, so if you– if you want to talk, I–

Connor: No, I don’T. Is that it?

Chelsea: No, actually, um, I have some exciting news to share with you. I– well, I hope you’ll find it exciting.

Connor: Okay.

Chelsea: I have been asked to be the new creative director at marchetti. It’s kind of exciting, right? See, you just never know what opportunities life is gonna throw at you. You just gotta take a chance. Right?

Connor: Sure, mom.

Chelsea: But I would never take this job without talking to you first. Because it will impact us both. My hours will be longer, which means I’ll have less time to spend with you. I may not be home when you get home from school. Would you be okay with all of that? Because connor, you always come first.

Connor: Don’t worry, mom. I’m fine. You sound all excited, so yeah, you should go for it.

Chelsea: Are you sure? Maybe you should take some time to think about it, make sure it’s how you really feel.

Connor: No, really. It’s cool. We should celebrate with pizza later. Yolo, right?

Chelsea: Yolo?

Connor: You only live once.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah, no, I– I– I know what it stands for, I just, um– I– well, yeah. That sounds like fun.

Connor: Okay. See you later, then. I’ve gotta get back on the field.

Chelsea: Okay. I love you.

Connor: I love you.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Billy: Seemed like it went well with connor.

Chelsea: Well, he seems okay with it. Still a little shut down though. I will take care of him, but for now, I am gonna contact summer.

Billy: Yes!

Chelsea: Mm-hmm.

Billy: That’s exciting. Very excited. I’m glad to see you happy.

I have type 2 diabetes,

[ Billy and chelsea laughing ]

Summer: Chelsea! I hope you have good news for me. Is that why you texted me to meet?

Chelsea: Uh… I’ve reconsidered your job offer. And I’m very, very interested now.

Summer: Ah! You are? Oh, that’s amazing! Oh, finally. Something is going right.

Nick: So, I’m considering taking dad up on his request to work with adam, so I can keep an eye on him and prevent him from going down the rabbit hole.

Sharon: That’s great, nick. And you may have an assist on your mission. I asked adam to help me turn cameron’s company around. I pitched a merger of our companies. I’m hoping that he will embrace the positive spin that I would like to bring to it.

Nick: Look at you.

Sharon: Imagine. If we merged, mccall’s media assets and cameron’s technology. We would be an amazing powerhouse. It’s such a great solution. I hope adam says yes. I mean, why would he not?

Nick: I mean, it sounds pretty good to me.

Sharon: And if you agree to work with adam, that means that it’ll be the three of us. Win, win, win! Unless you two kill each other.

[ Nick sighing ]

Abby: I’m ready. Are you?

Devon: Ready for what, exactly?

Abby: Well, to get dom and go home and start this new phase of our lives.

Devon: I am very ready and I’m very excited for this bold new future we have.

Abby: Ooh, it is pretty bold, isn’t it?

Devon: It is.

Abby: Let’s go.

Devon: Okay. Let’s go. Adam.

Adam: Hm?

Devon: Real quick, man. Um, I know that you have, like, kind of a history of going to war with your family over the years. I’m sure you have your reasons for that, but I just– I don’t want you to think that lily and i wanna do that same thing with nate. Or that we’ll be happy if you take him down in some way. We don’t want that kind of energy out there.

Adam: Sure. Okay.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: Whatever you say.

Devon: Thank you.

[ Adam clears throat ]

Adam: Hey. Did you get the changes that I sent you? Good. Good. Good. Good. Good.

[ Adam chuckling ] No, newman media won’t know what hit ’em.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey, I am checking in with everyone about the shooting yesterday. Do you have anything to add to your statement? Anything else come to mind? I’m sorry. I already told you everything I knew. I wish I could be more helpful. All right. Thanks anyway. I don’t understand. Don’t you have everything that you need? I can’t get you everything else. The deception crew is watching me very closely. You need to be stealthier. Why would I? Shh. Hey, you. Hey. Sorry if I’m interrupting. You’re not. That’s not how it looked. Ah, all right. Aren’t you going to give me a kiss first? No, that’s coming.

[ Thermometer beeps ] No, you’re good. No fever. Good morning. Is that coffee for me? Oh, yes, it is. Oh. The smell of corinthos coffee probably woke me up.

[ Chuckles ] How long have I been asleep for? This time? Well, your morning nap almost turned into an afternoon siesta. Oh. Best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Being home is healing. Although I still feel like I’m dreaming. Well, there’s only one way to be sure. That sundress you tried on really complements your eyes. You should totally get it. Thanks. I liked the halter top you tried on. It’s a little different for you, though. Oh, my old style belongs to another life. When my guardianship ends, I need to send a statement to the world.

[ Squeals ] This is sasha 2.0.

[ Chuckles ] Oh! This calls for champagne. Should we add some orange juice to justify the early hour? No.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t believe how much energy I have after playing all night. It’s the adrenaline rush. Winning will do that.

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations to you both. Listen, um, I know that one win won’t make us square, but I can pay you one installment today. Mm. Champagne is on me. Enjoy your win. Wow, wow. Tonight was like lightning in a bottle! Except lightning isn’t supposed to strike twice. So you’re clear on the plan? I am clear on the plan. I am to keep the lawyer occupied, busy enough just so you can have a proper snoop. I do have one quick question, though. Why in the world did you have me get all glammed up when this lawyer is probably some short, stodgy, balding, boring, bifocalled attorney? Why? The charm offensive is tried and true. Would you rather I be the honey trap? No, I’m better suited for this, as you know. Let’s just hope that we can find out what martin’s been hiding from me.

[ Keypad beeps ]

[ Keypad beeps ]

[Bones cracking]

(Tense music)

I’ve missed this. It’s been torture not being close to you. What’s wrong?

[ Sighs ] Um… unfortunately, the torture isn’t quite over. Whoa!

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I don’t know what happened. It must have been an off night. Do you have any idea how much money you’ve cost me? I’m better at counting cards than counting losses. From where I stand, you’re a failure at both. Your job is to always get me a profit. Look, I’m sorry, ms. Wu. I hired you expressly to avoid large payouts to players. Yet I’ve operated at a loss for two games in a row. You can’t afford the luxury of “off nights.” And if I have to pay, so must you. Ohhh, finally. It feels like my luck is changing.

Slainte. And with your daughter-in-law on my new drug regimen, your run of good fortune has no end in sight.

[ Sighs ] Eh. What do you think of this one? Wow. Well, that’ll certainly “send a statement to the world.”

[ Chuckles ] And to think that I’ve spent the last year praying the press would ignore me. I guess I’m ready for them to sit up and take notice again. Okay, well, now for something more comfy and pg-rated. These are a little short for you, don’t you think? Oh, they’re not for me. I had logan’s personal shopper select a few items in willow’s size. Comfortable mommy gear, but still lovely, like willow. That’s very thoughtful. You sound surprised. No, no, more like in awe. If being a great friend had any sway on the judge, he’d grant your petition without a second thought. Seems like lately, every time I see the two of you, you got your heads together. I plead the fifth. Can’t a woman spend time with her granddaughter? At ease, ladies. This isn’t an interrogation, just an observation. I’m just happy to see you. How are you holding up after last night? I was actually just catching grandmother up on the shooting and how you saved the day. No, just doing my job. No one does it better. I admire your passion and commitment. I could say the same about you, the way you feel about music. But you gave that up to go back to work at deception. Man: [ Grunts ]

[ Thud ] It’s you?! Ow! What the hell is wrong with you?! God’s sake, anna. Anybody ever told you for one little thing, you pack a ridiculously big punch? Yes, all the time. You’ll find out what else I’m packing if you don’t tell me what you’re doing here.

yesterday, when you steppedout to make arrangements for my discharge, the oncology nurse went over terry’s instructions with me in more depth. As you know, there are a lot of do’s and don’ts. Oh, I know, I know. I fell asleep reading the packet last night. I do have the food, the medication schedule, and the visitor protocol down, but I will make time the rest of the day to finish the packet, so… michael, I’m sure you will. You have barely had time to do anything. You’ve done so much to make my homecoming smooth. Yeah, what else would I do, willow?

[ Sighs ] You’re incredible. You do nothing but think of me. You’ve sacrificed so much for me already. That’s why I hate having to ask you to sacrifice even longer. Come on, what are you talking about? What did the — what did the nurse say? That we can’t make love. How did you get a keycard for this room? Oh, most probably the same way you did. That’s doubtful. Were you following me? No, not really. Kind of, sort of. It was — I don’t know. Martin. All right, fine. Just give me a minute. You do know this hurts, right? What? Somehow, word reached valentin about the shooting, so he reached back to me. He was worried about you, wanted me to check on you, so I was on my way out over to your place, and I saw you crossing the lobby. You were following me. Uh… I didn’t notice that, I must be slipping. Oh, no, I’d say you still got it, based on the amount of pain coming from this part of my face. In any case, that’s my story. Why did you cross the police tape? What the hell are you looking for? Oh, I’m sure the pcpd did a thorough job. I just wanted to check for myself because this is where they found the rifle that the sniper used. I see. And that is of what interest to you, anna? Hello, good morning. We’re here for our appointment. Right on time. I’ll let him know you’re here. Mr. Montgomery, your 10:00 am is here. Thank you, cheyenne. Hi, ladies. I’m jackson montgomery. Oh, it’s nice to meet you. I’m felicia. We spoke on the phone. We did, we did. Good to see you. This is my sister, lucy martin. Mrs. Martin, I’m so, so sorry for your loss. Oh, please, please, please do call me lucy, and thank you. You know, this whole affair with my husband’s estate, it’s very confusing for me. I mean, I have never lived in pennsylvania, but he did for quite a while. He lived with his other family. Well, I can see how that might complicate matters some. Why don’t we all go into my office and see if we can’t untangle this a bit, huh? I’ll just wait out here. Okay, after you. Thank you. Once willow can get out again, this would be perfect for a romantic outing with michael. Yeah, or she can sell it and take that overdue trip to paris. You know, willow would never spend this amount of money on herself, but she deserves a whole new wardrobe for her new chapter. It’s beautiful. She’ll love it. Mm. I’m happy to contribute. You know, it’s incredible. Our friend has all-new dna. It’s like she’s been reborn! You’re very philosophical today.

[ Chuckles ] What’s up with that? My court-appointed shrink. He prescribed something that totally revolutionized my approach to wellness. Much as I’d like to, I can’t cover your losses. Last night, I received bad news about the proprietor of this establishment, a man I’m fond of. Yeah, n’neka told me about curtis and the shooting. And your incompetence has only compounded my distress. Yeah, I’m sorry. And I — look, I completely understand if you no longer want to retain my services. You don’t think my granddaughter is committed to her job at deception? Can I speak with my girlfriend in private? You know, they make a mean iced cappuccino at the bar. It sounds dreadful. Why would anybody add ice to a perfectly good cappuccino? But I will leave, since apparently, that’s what you want me to do. Wow, that was impressive. I could count on one hand how many people granny will listen to.

[ Chuckles ] Why do you always seem so tense around tracy? It’s complicated. I know she wants you to have a career to fall back on, but you don’t, brook lynn. All you need is your talent. Don’t let tracy or linc or any of your personal demons make you doubt your talent. I love how much confidence you have in me. Unlike tracy? Is she pressuring you? Chase, leave it. No, I can’T. Not if your grandmother is making you unhappy. She doesn’t care if I don’t want to work at deception. Then why not tell her to back off? Because she put me up to it.

We can kiss, cuddle, caress, but we have to put sex on hold. And I’m so sorry. I mean, we didn’t even get a chance to consummate our marriage, and now I’m making you wait even longer. Willow, you’re not making me do anything. This is about your health. I’m not upset or surprised about it. I knew you’d say that. But you can tell me if you’re disappointed. You know what’s disappointing? Coming home to an empty house. Or telling wiley, “I don’t know” whenever he asks me when you’re coming home. Imagining a life without you. Which is why no matter how many times you brought up the subject, I never wanted to talk about it. Which is why I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure that you’re home to stay with me and our family. But what if that takes a while? I want you.

[ Chuckles ] I’m disappointed we can’t be intimate like we used to. Well, first of all, hold that thought.

[ Chuckles ] Second of all, you do have me. And when you are healthy and ready — I’ll definitely be ready. Well, there you go.

[ Chuckles ] You may or may not know this, but I am currently unemployed, so, you know, I was just hoping that maybe I could be a little useful. Martin: Yeah, well, call it a hunch, but I suspect valentin wouldn’t be too thrilled if he knew you were putting yourself at risk. Oh. Well, what do you want? My client cares about you. You know, he misses you. Well, I miss him, too, obviously. You know, truth be told, as factious and demanding as the man can be, I do, too. Apart from laura, he’s my closest confidante, and now they’re both on the other side of the world, and just when I need them most. Why? What’s wrong? Wait a minute. You’re a woman. Oh. Can’t get anything past you. And you’re close with lucy. Uh, I have been in close proximity to lucy for extended periods of time. No, no, no, I mean, it’s about lucy. You’re good with riddles, I want you to help me with one. An unexpected and unmistakable chill has suddenly developed between us, and I, for one, wonder why. Impressive. Mm-hmm. If you need to pop out for any reason, don’t mind me. Or if you need to overnight something. Or if you want to take an early lunch, it’ll be our little secret. It’s not even 11:00 am.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, right, yeah. Uh, cheyenne, could you run around the corner to the gourmet coffee shop and get mrs. Martin some coffee? Oh, I’ll make a fresh pot. No, no, no, mrs. Martin has a very particular coffee order.

[ Chuckles ] It’d probably be best if you just went out and got it, huh? Can I get you anything? Thank you, I would love a latte. A latte it is, and something for yourself, okay? Lucy: Don’t forget my cinnamon. My sister takes her coffee very seriously. Letting you go doesn’t solve my problems. I still need a reliable ringer. And clearly, that’s not me, you know? Not any longer. Look, we had a good run, but, you know, I’d hate to let you down again. Then don’T. Gladys: Did you see the look on his face when I pulled out that third jack?

[ Chuckles ] Um… doc, I gotta ask you. This drug sasha’s taking — it’s not dangerous, right? No, no, not at all. Millions of people take it. Good. Because I need her guardianship to stay in place a bit longer, but I do care about her. Gladys, I explained this before. The medication is harmless on its own. It’s the interaction with sasha’s antidepressant that will create the behaviors you wanted, none of which are life-threatening. She’ll feel off-kilter, foggy, prone to mood swings. But will that be enough? I mean, will people even notice some simple side effects? Trust me. People will notice. What exactly did your doctor prescribe you? Meditation. I don’t vocalize, though. I just breathe. Oh.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, hey, sorry. It’s georgie — one second. Georgie? Oh, stop yelling at your brother. Okay, fine, put me on speakerphone. James malcolm west, you give your sister back her journal right now. No, don’t make her have to ask you again or call me again.

[ Sighs ] You know what? Just so you know, we are having a talk when I get home. I’m serious. Will meditation help me with my squabbling children?

[ Chuckles ] Even zen has its limits. Ugh, I’m going to have to give in and buy a new place where everyone has their own room. I love my apartment, but it’s time to move on. That’s the spirit! Lean into possibility. I’m going to lean into some real-estate listings. Um, I really need to get back to my kids. You good? Yeah! Okay. Why does tracy want you working at deception? Oh, that’s between me and brook lynn. You know what? This coffee drink is not half bad. Lucky I’m open-minded. It kind of sounds like there’s more to the story. You know what, detective? I know that you are trained to look for crimes everywhere, but this really doesn’t concern you. It does if you’re exerting undue influence. Undue, schm-undue. I’m just compelling. Like a guillotine. That’s enough. You know what? You’re right, granny. It is enough. I am done jumping through your hoops. Say this, not that. Work here, not there. Hide this. Hide what? Be careful. You know you can tell me anything.

[ Exhales deeply ] Months ago, I asked granny a favor that concerns you, and she granted it. What favor could tracy possibly do for me? Getting your badge back.

Mr. Bell. Do I have your attention? Uh, yeah, yeah, sorry. The more you apologize, the less it means. So is this funny business, mr. Bell? An accomplished ringer who couldn’t lose suddenly can’t perform. I find that odd. Well, you know, happens to the best of us from time to time. Then why insist my best course of action is to dismiss you after you recently pressed me to stay on? Are you trying to get fired? If sasha takes the new medication as prescribed, then her body already metabolized it. Its interaction with her antidepressant is already having an effect. Surprise! I hope you don’t mind me dropping by like this, but that’s what you get for adding me to the approved guest list. Can I come in? Uh, yeah, yeah, willow would be happy to see you. But you have to wear a mask. All right, sure. Here, hold this. Willow, I’m here! Sasha! Hi! Hi! What a nice surprise. I wanna hug you! Okay, until we can do that, let’s close our eyes and reach out our hands and pretend to hug. Ahhh, can you feel the embrace?

[ Cell phone rings ] Excuse me one second. Hey, joss, what’s up? No, no, I’m just getting willow settled. Why? Oh, my god. When?

[ Whispering ] Yesss. Ah, third time’s a charm. All right, I’ll bite. Describe this unmistakable chill that has developed between you and lucy. Sit. Well, maybe that’s — I chose the wrong word. It’s more like, um… more like a distance thing, you know? And I don’t like it. I’m not used to being kept at arm’s length. Usually, you can’t slip a ruler between the pair of us. Oh, visual. No, no, no, what I mean is, up to this point, we’ve been on the same page about practically everything, and I mean everything. You know, vacation, family, home. Home. [ Chuckles ] Perfect evening — shaken, not stirred, true crime over sports, cake over pie, companionship over marriage. Okay, stop right there. That’s your problem. ‘Cause the lucy coe I know, she likes marriage. No, she doesn’T. I mean, she used to like marriage, but, you know, been there, done that several times, as have I, and neither of us is anxious to repeat the same mistake. Is that what she told you? Mm-hmm. She didn’t mean it. She’s inexhaustibly romantic. No, and I’m telling you, lucy insists she’s happy with things as they are. Yet here we are dissecting your relationship. So has marriage been brought up lately? Actually, yes. But we both said we’re not interested. It’s one thing to say it to yourself, but it is quite another thing when the man you love says, “nope, not happening.” So tracy orchestrated my rehiring? That’s how I got the ccrb meeting and my badge back? Ah — actually, all I did was get the board back in the room. They made their decision based on the case you presented, so really, that’s all you. I had to make things right, chase. I cost you your badge, so I called the one person I knew who could help. And now that person is holding it over your head. Hello? That person is standing right here. Okay, so how does deception fit into all this?

[ Cellphone rings ] I got to ta this. Detective chase. Are you under the influence? I don’t do drugs, you know that. No, I mean truth serum. First, it’s your colleagues, and now it’s chase. How long is this confessional gonna go on? When I have nothing left to confess. Look, my relationship ended with chase in the past over secrets. No, your relationship ended because you got caught. Chase doesn’t want me to be perfect, just honest.

[ Scoffs ] Transparency leads to questions, which you will soon find out when mr. Perfect gets off the phone. Was that about the shooting, or…? I can’t get into it right now, but I am going to need some answers from you.

This is why I didn’t want to say anything. I didn’t want to involve you. Brook lynn, I have to get back to work. So unfortunately, this is gonna have to wait. Work, as in the job I helped you get back? I owe you nothing, and neither does brook lynn, and if you are strong-arming her into something unethical, you know I’m gonna find out. Chase, I am so sorry. I am so done with secrets. I have to go. And this isn’t over. A, b, c, d, e, f, G. H, I, j, K… l, m, m, m, m, ma.

[ Scoffs ] I knew it was too easy. Lucy: I haven’t been in pine valley in so long. It’s a shame the chateau closed down. Well, actually, the real shame is I’m not going to be able to do much for you at this juncture, but it was a real pleasure to make your acquaintance. Oh, and it was such, such a pleasure making yours. But you’re right, the chateau was the gold standard here in pine valley for many, many years, but I think you’re going to enjoy this new restaurant I told you about. See you at 8:00. Can’t wait. I am so sorry it took so long. They were mobbed. Thank you, I’ll take mine to go.

[ Giggles ] So you think lucy’s angry because I don’t want to get married again? I would bet my career on it, but… you don’t have one. Yeah. But that doesn’t make any sense. I mean, why would you put your head back in a lion’s mouth? She’s heard all of my horror stories. She knows all about my track record. Hell, you know about it. You tried to blackmail me over it. Oh, bygones. Look, I don’t think that lucy would ever compare herself to your exes. I think she sees herself as someone entirely different. She is entirely different. I never met anybody like lucy before. She gets me. So what’s the problem?

[ Mockingly ] What’s the problem? Why wouldn’t you just consider it, at least, you know? You mean apart from the fact that mama swears she’s only going to walk me down the aisle so many times? Okay, you know, make light of it if you want, but buy yourself a sweater because that chill that you’re feeling from lucy, that is liable to set in. And, oh, you know what? I want to amend something that I said earlier about lucy not comparing herself to your exes because there is one area where she is keeping score, and that is that you were willing to marry them, but you refused to take the plunge with her. Okay, maxie and I thought that this would be perfect for relaxation, and it’s so warm. Look, it’s fleece. So if you get cold, you’re totally covered. Plus, it’s got a hoodie, so your ears will be warm. Or if you get cold, we got you this super cute short set. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow down, I can’t keep up. Clearly, you two thought of everything. We just want your homecoming to be perfect. Just being here is perfect with the people I care about.

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ] Okay. I got you this amazing thing. I love it so much! Isn’t it exquisite? Here, rub it to your cheek. Oh, I — I really shouldn’t, I… I have to wash or clean everything before I wear it or use it. Oh. There’s a security tag. Why would I try to get fired? I mean, you pay me nightly more than I make in months working with the horses. Then why continue with horses? Well, they make me happy. Are you happy in my employ, mr. Bell? Well, yeah. Who wouldn’t be? Am I right, li? There’s one way to find out if that’s true. Bring the cards used during the game. Yes, ms. Wu.

Acy: Well, I guess I’m theonly one in the doghouse. Thank god. And speaking of work… chase isn’t the only one with job responsibilities. Don’t you have someplace to be? Nope. Chase now knows that you helped get him reinstated at the pcpd. So? So you no longer have any leverage over me. The sun is out, pool awaits, and today seems like a wonderful day to resign from deception again. Yes, but you’re forgetting something, my darling girl.

[ Chuckling ] What’s that? You committed corporate espionage. What would your pious policeman think about that? So my advice to you is very simple. Just be honest with lucy. You know, share your frustrations about marriage. I have. She’s heard them all. No, she’s heard you bitching about your ex-wives. You have to figure out if this is translated into an institutional phobia. Tell her your fears. But before you do that, I think you need to be very honest with yourself. Are you worried that it’s too soon? Are you concerned about compatibility? Are you afraid of failing again, or is it something else? Well, it might be too soon, but god knows we’re compatible.

[ Chuckles ] You were in that safe house. Oh, god, martin, stop. All right, fine. Yes, all of the above. Frightened, concerned, afraid. I’d hate to commit again and then fail again. What? You forgot, there’s something else. Because there is another reason, isn’t there? Lucy: Come here, come here. Okay, so tell me — how did I do? Did you have enough time? Did you get anything? Did you just make a date with the man you spent the last hour lying to? I know. Good point. You know, it usually takes me half the time. I’m slipping. It must be trauma from that whole victor thing. I said no whipped — lucy! Okay, maybe I did… make a date, per se. Remember what happened when you went rogue with victor? Spending more time with jackson montgomery opens us up to exposure. Okay, then did you get anything? I don’t see anything. Did you find a file? Did you find a flash drive? What’d you get? No, I got nothing. The assistant was glued to her desk. By the way, that was a brilliant gambit of yours, ordering coffee.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you very much. Anna devane, eat your little heart out. And making that ridiculous coffee order annoyingly complicated was a stroke of genius. Yeah, yeah, you know, it was just… all part of my plan. So you’re right, I do need to continue to search, and I think I know where. The maquillage file wasn’t with the other documents, but I think it’s in that safe. I’ll bet if I can get into it, I’ll find that file and we can discover what martin’s been hiding. Can you really actually break into safes? Yes, I have skills. So I guess it’s a good thing that jackson will otherwise be occupied tonight at 8:00. Cheers. I’m sure I don’t know what you’re talking about. I mean, all of the reasons you yourself just listed except for compatibility are perfectly valid and legitimate enough for me not to want to get married again. Oh, there’s a giant one in particular. One that hasn’t been listed. One that I found out when I was blackmailing you about your three ex-wives. Because one of them is so different from the others, isn’t she? Yeah. Number three, she’s far more sadistic. And rich! She’s the only one you don’t pay alimony to. In fact, she pays you a cool 50k a month. And if you remarry, your third ex-wife is going to cut you off, and that’s what this is really all about, isn’t it, marty? You can either marry lucy or you can ride the gravy train, but you can’t do both. And what you can’t tell lucy is that you’ve already made your choice. I’ll have to catch some winks before my next session.

[ Chuckles ] I will see you at sasha’s next session. I believe I will have a lot to report to the judge. Do you have something you want to tell me? She’s up to something. Your chance to come clean ends when li returns. Look, um, just give me a chance to explain. It — it won’t happen again. No, it won’T.

[ Scoffs ] White ink. I swear, I don’t know where that came from.

[ Speaks native language ] All right, all right, okay. I can explain that. No need. It’s evident what happened here. You threw my game.

[ Groans ] So much for everything being perfect. I’ll have to grab this and return it to the store to have the tag removed. No, it’s okay, just don’t even worry about it.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Door opens ] Hey, uh, chase is here. Oh. The more, the merrier. Tell him to come in. Willow, it’s good to see you outside the isolation room. Tell me about it.

[ Chuckles ] Sasha, I need to talk to you. Hold on one second. Michael, this blouse is for you to take willow someplace nice, like a sunset cruise. Isn’t it gorgeous? Sasha — just wait. I’m sorry, this can’t wait.

[ Sighs ] Sasha gilmore, you are under arrest.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You are damn good, Chanel. Let’s hope those aren’t laced with a dangerous hallucinogen. Can I help you? Chanel Dupree, I presume. Yeah, that’s me. We haven’t been formally introduced. My name is Clint Rawlings. We have a lot to discuss. Hey. Hi. Coffee? Oh,

I would love some. You just come from the hospital? Yeah, I just left. We had a very eventful morning. Really? Care to share? Well, you might find it interesting. Marlena managed to deprogram Harris Michaels. Really? So he’s gonna be okay? To be determined. I don’t think you understand. We have completely broken through Megan’s conditioning, so you are no longer under her or anybody else’s control.

I’m glad you think so. Well, I think so, because it’s true. And there’s also no reason for you to receive any inpatient care. With all due respect, Dr. Evans, the only way to make sure that I never hurt another innocent person again

is to have me committed immediately.

So, who do you want to be in a committed relationship with? Buddy, me. A trip. Look, we’ll respect your decision either way. We need an answer, Wendy. Are

you suspending me? You’re leaving me no choice. You’re drinking on the job. You’re gonna hurt yourself or worse, someone else. Now, I’m gonna need your gun and your shield. Man, oh man. How do you not get dizzy standing up there on your high horse? What the hell does that mean? It means that you and I both know damn well that you’ve broken as just as many rules as any other officer in this department.

Careful detective. Careful? Yeah. How careful do you want me to be, boss? I mean, I was just as careful as you were when you started having sex with one of your other detectives.

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

Jada! Is it a nice surprise? Sorry, I should have called ahead. No, no need. My oldest friend’s daughter doesn’t need an invitation. Come on in. Thanks.

So, Steve, I wanted to say that I’m so sorry that you lost another long time friend. Thanks. Can’t believe Abe’s gone. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Yeah, me too. I’ve been on the job a long time, and I’ve seen a lot of bad things, but this… It’s hard to make sense of it. I know you and Rafe did everything you could to bring Abe home safe.

We did, but we still can’t help but feel that we let him down.

I wonder how Abe would feel knowing that instead of you being out there looking for him. You were too busy disobeying one of his last rules. My office. Now. No, you just put me on suspension, so I don’t have to go anywhere with you. I’m telling you, don’t do this. Why? What, you don’t want the rest of the department to know that you’ve been screwing Detective Hunt?

You don’t know what the hell you were talking about! Really? This lady whistleblower, she sure knew what she was talking about. Oh, really? Okay, so now we’re gonna believe everything that we read in Leo Stark’s gossip column? Or maybe… Maybe it’s the booze that’s clouding your judgment. Hmm. Yeah, well, I didn’t just read about it in Stark’s gossip column.

I got a first hand account.

You know, I appreciate you two being so patient with me. Giving me time to figure out what I want. Of course.

Trip, do you mind giving Johnny and me some privacy?

Yeah. Yeah, uh, I need to… Don’t check in with my dad anymore. Yeah, please let him know I’m thinking about him. And Tripp, I’ll text you. Okay.

Alone at last. Clint

Rawlings. You’re Abe’s deputy mayor. I was until his untimely demise. May he rest in peace. So, are you the mayor now? Acting. Mayor. I see. And I see you’re open for business.

Sample? I’ll think about it. Well, as I’m sure you know, we’ve been going through some challenges, but with everything that my family’s going through, I’m just, I’m really grateful to be back in business. I’m sure you are. I’m sorry. Is there a problem, Mr. Rawlings? Acting Mayor Rawlings. You’re damn right there’s a problem.

You poisoned half this town, Ms. Dupree. And if it were up to me, sweet bits would be shuttered for good. I know how upsetting it

must have been to learn that you were still susceptible to It’s a nightmare. It’s a nightmare. Only, I never wake up from it. I’m constantly in fear that I’m gonna wake up strapped to a bed and learn that I’ve hurt somebody else. I understand. I know how it feels to… To believe that you are no longer acting of your own free will.

And, and if you think you still have some residual effect, I’d be glad to see you on an outpatient. No, that’s not gonna be enough. That’s not gonna be enough. I need to be under locking. key 24 7 until a team of shrinks can guarantee me that Megan Hathaway and that freak Dr. Rolfe will never be inside my head again.

So it was you that had Michaels go after Megan Hathaway? Oh, what was I thinking, right? I mean, I knew that she had already had him under her control. I mean, we all knew that. And so did he. I mean, he’s a big boy. You know the risks? It’s true, but seriously, I should have known that she wouldn’t go violently when she found out he was trying to kidnap her and transport her to an off grid site.

He’s a pro. He’s probably done a hundred of these sort of things. Yeah, still, maybe. It still would have been best if he had gone with my original idea. What was that? I told him to kill the bitch.

Dr. Evans, as long as Rolf and Megan are out there, I am a threat. To you and everybody that you care about.

You didn’t seriously hurt anybody when you were under their control. Not this time. But what about before? The two guys that I shot in cold blood in Greece. What I did to Bowen Hope, the Johnsons, I attacked your husband and your stepson in San Francisco. Do you want somebody who’s dangerous and unstable like me walking the streets?

Now, this is more like it. Johnny.

Hey. No, no, it’s okay. I didn’t mind a little competition and, and… Besides, if anyone deserves to have two men fighting over her… It is you. Except… I’m not surprised to be one. No, no, no, no, no, you’re not. I’m, I’m, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. Johnny, this wasn’t about you competing with Tripp.

Okay, this was about me trying to figure out my feelings. You know, deciding who and what I need in a partner. No, no, I know, I know. And I get that, I respect that, and I am so happy that you chose me. And now the trip is out of the picture. You and I can really just focus on committing to each other. Aren’t you forgetting someone else in your little equation?

Uh, no. What do you mean, who? Who else? Chanel.

So you’re not gonna try the sample? Cuz I have to say my chocolate scones have been known to make grown men cry. This works a lot of people, huh? Why does? That bubbly irreverence. It’s easy to see how so many people have been charmed by you. Theo Carver. Xander Cook. And before that, there was your college professor.

Excuse me? And let’s not forget both Johnny DiMera and his twin sister, Allie Horton. And then there was Talia Hunter. Okay, wait a second. You going over all of the people that I’ve been involved with is really creeping me out. And for the record, not that it’s any of your business, but Talia Hunter only pretended to like me so that she could help Colin Bedford get revenge.

Yes, and then she threw herself and her boyfriend off a roof. All to save you. My God, how do you know all of this about me? And what is your point? My point? Is that you’re not just delivering delicious treats to Salem. Since you arrived here, you and your mother have brought nothing but crime, chaos, and salacious scandals to our fine city.

And it’s time someone did something about that. Mmm.

These are delicious. You’re right.

First hand account. About Jada and me? Yep. From Jada herself. Alright. She told you? Not exactly. Alright. Alright. So, Rafe came over to give me some good news about my sister. And, you know, that was a big relief to me. And then, one thing led to another, and… That’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very a great guy, and you’re a great catch.

I really hope it does work out. Thanks.

So you eavesdropped on Jada and Cade’s conversation. Well, detectives gotta detect, right? So yeah, yeah, I know all about your sneaky little affair. Burning question is, what am I gonna do with the information?

Well, John and I… Came up against the same walls on the investigation that you guys did. I kept thinking there would be some piece of evidence out there that would explain why Abe went into the water that night. And where he went when he left the hospital. You know, Rafe and I, well, the entire Salem PD, we turned this city upside down looking for him.

But I wish we could have done more. Hey, buddy. Hey, Dad. Hey, Dana. Hey, Tripp. Nice to see you. You too. Well, I better get back to the station now. Well, thanks for coming by. I’ll let you know if we turn up anything new. Same. See you,

Tripp. Bad day? Written all over my face, huh? Yeah, I think you inherited that from me. When you’re unhappy, you have a hard time hiding it. So what’s going on? What’s got you down? Uh, it’s about Wendy. Who I have very strong feelings for. And that’s a bad thing? It is now. Cause it looks like I’m about to lose her to Johnny DeMera.

What does Chanel have to do with you? And me finally getting to be together. I had to make a choice when it came to you and Tripp, and you had to make one too. Um, no. I didn’t because I wasn’t seeing Chanel the same time I was dating you. Yeah, only because she didn’t give you the chance. What? No! Wendy! You are the only woman that I want to be with.

I’m not so sure about that. Okay. Where is, where is all this coming from? Look, I’m not the one who needed to date two people just to make a decision. Well, because I was being honest with you. Oh, and I wasn’t being honest with you. I’m just saying… When it comes to your feelings with Chanel… I don’t think you’re being honest with yourself.

I know those poison biscuits cause a lot of trouble, but I had nothing to do with it. Except that it was one of your employees that did the poisoning. Okay, my, my bakery was sabotaged. I’m the innocent party here. Oh? Well, what about your customers? Some of whom suffered violent reactions and terrifying hallucinations.

Weren’t they? Of course, and I feel terrible about that. I’m not sure you do. Because from what I’ve gathered, you haven’t taken responsibility for the incident. Or for the fact that your unseemly involvement with Colin Bedford’s parents led directly to this mess. Oh my god, why are you attacking me like this?

What I am doing, Miss Dupree, is making it clear that the Rawlings administration is bringing law, order, and moral decency back to Salem, USA. Which means going forward, if you are involved in one more incident, I’ll see to it that you never do business in this town again.

Stale, by the way.

You asked Michaels to kill Megan

Hathaway? Ah, ah, ah. Ah, come on. I mean, you’re not going to tell Robin, right? Kate! What? Come on. Megan Hathaway is fine, so there’s no harm, no foul. No, I don’t make a habit of lying to my big brother, and you shouldn’t either. Listen, I, he would understand. When we were all presumed dead, John, Steve, Roman, they all considered taking out Orpheus.

Yes, I know. Roman told me. He also told me that he had a change of heart and went to Statesville to stop them from going ahead with their plans. But still, he would understand the impulse. I certainly do. What? Taylor, Brady, Little Miss Catholic School, Laurel actually has a little bit of the killer instinct.

I’m not saying that I condone cold blooded murder. Do I wish that Megan Hathaway was out of our lives for good? Damn right

I do. It is because of my husband that I have enormous empathy for you.

I know. I know that he was brainwashed by, by Rolf and Stefano. Yeah. The DiMeras have used mind control against people for decades. They’re the monsters. Not you. That may be. But they managed to turn me into a weapon not once, but twice. And I’m not willing to risk what could happen if they could do it a third time.

Are

you threatening me, Shawn? I’m just saying. That if you can break the rules, and you can get a pass, then why can’t I? You were drinking on the job! And you have been sleeping with your subordinate! What I do off the clock does not impact my work! And it’s no one’s damn business! Really? Yeah. Okay, what about, what about power imbalance?

Workplace ethics? Like… What the hell do you want, Sean? I want fairness. But at the end of the day, that’s up to you. If you wanna suspend me, fine. Go ahead. You wanna, you wanna treat me like crap? Go ahead. But it… I’m not a vindictive bastard. Meaning what? Meaning that I will be discreet. I’m not going to tell anybody that you’ve been hooking up with Detective Hunter.

Excuse me?

Deputy Mayor! I’m acting mayor now. For your sake, Commissioner Hernandez, I sincerely hope this detective’s got his facts wrong.

Acting Mayor Rawlings, um, I think you misheard. You mean you didn’t just accuse your commanding officer of having an inappropriate workplace relationship with one of your fellow detectives?

What’s going on? Detective Hunter! What a coincidence. We were just talking about you. I think

I like this new lethal Kayla Brady Johnson. I’m not condoning violence. But I want my family to be safe. Said the proud mama bear. Look, I hope that they find Megan Hathaway and put her away for life this time. Oh, amen to that, sister in law. Yeah. Listen, I need to go. Steve and I have a lunch date at home.

Yeah, I’ll walk you out. There’s someone I need to see.

Harris, even if I had you committed to Bayview, it doesn’t mean you won’t be conditioned again. Several lovely demure pawns have succumbed to mind control. Even after very rigorous psychiatric treatments. I, I get that. I mean, I was in intense therapy with those doctors overseas, but we know how it worked out for me.

But at least with inpatient treatment, I, I believe that will help me become mentally stronger. So I’ll be less susceptible to Rolf’s mind games.

What do you want from me? What, what do you mean? Well, you, you can commit yourself to, to, uh, to bathe you of your own volition. Yeah, but then I can check myself out too. But if you commit me, then I have no choice but to stay. That’s what you want?

Yeah. My mind has been so screwed with over the past few years. I

just need some time to heal.

For me this is about survival. And if I can’t rid myself of the fear that at any moment I might lose control of who I am or who I want to be, I just don’t know if I can go on.

So please,

will you commit me or not?

So, you, uh, just left Wendy there with Johnny DiMera? Yeah, what was I supposed to do? Chain myself to the couch? She asked me to go. Well, you know, when Bo and I were your age, we would fight for the lady’s hand. Well, times have changed, Dad. I don’t think Wendy would have appreciated me challenging Johnny to a duel.

What do you think turning tail was the answer? As opposed to refusing to leave? Were you afraid of being cancelled? Or arrested? Oh, man. Everybody’s so sensitive these days. Dad, you do understand that I have to respect Wendy’s wishes. Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess you do. Dad! Yes, of course you do. Okay, I’m not that much of a caveman.

I know that throwing a woman over my shoulder or on the back of Bo’s stolen bike, those days are obviously long gone. Yeah, that’s a good thing. Damn straight it is. We have to trust that women know their own minds, and that is what I am doing. If Wendy chooses Johnny, that is her prerogative, and I’m dealing with it.

End of story. What? What are you thinking now? I just wonder if Wendy really knows her own mind. Of course she does. And I have to accept that.

I think it’s just too cut and dry. I

don’t want to be with Chanel. I want to be with you. And yet every time I turn around, you’re racing off to be with her. Yeah, because she’s my friend. Okay, and she’s been through a lot of trauma lately. She was almost killed. She just lost her stepdad. Yeah, I understand. She’s going through hell, and I feel for her.

But you still think there’s something shady going on? No. Look, I like her. And I do not do girl drama. Then what’s the problem? The problem? Is that your first instinct is to always protect your ex wife and I don’t see that changing anytime soon Which is one of the reasons I’m choosing to be with Tripp

You can’t give up on Wendy that easily Have you been listening to anything? I just said of course I have You have to let her make her own choices And I’m hip to toxic masculinity and gender equality and all that stuff But you don’t have to be toxic and disrespectful to fight for someone. And I’m talking about the kind of fighting you guys do.

You’re smarter, more evolved generation. With your head, you know, with respect and decency. How am I supposed to fight like that? It’s easy. You just show Wendy what a good, awesome man you are. And that you’re in it for the long haul. I don’t think I’ve already tried that. I think that you’ve been let down and hurt by a lot of people in your life.

So when it comes to love, things get dicey, you have a tendency to cut your losses and, and run. To protect yourself. And I get that, man. I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Let me tell you something. If you really care about Wendy as much as you say you do, then you’ve got to let her know you’re not going anywhere.

Will

you do that? Will you at least consider it? I suppose I could. It’s just,

I feel like I’ve already humiliated myself enough. Even just being in this competition with Johnny. Hey. It shouldn’t be humiliating to give something all you got. Okay? And if it doesn’t work out, you can walk away with no regrets, knowing that you fought for it.

Okay. Okay, I’ll take your advice. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. I better not. Thanks, Dad. Anytime, son.

Now, where are you going? You’re going over to Wendy’s, right? Yes, I’m going. I promise. I’m going. Okay.

So you’re really picking Tripp over me because you think I’m not over Chanel? Your connection with Chanel is only part of the reason. Okay, then what’s the rest?

Well, Tripp and I have been spending a lot of time together lately. Well, I’ve been with Chanel. Yeah. And my feelings for him have started to deepen. Oh. Oh, so it’s my fault. No. No, it’s not anybody’s fault. Look, you’re a great guy, Johnny. And I care about you a lot. Now it’s just… Have a hard time. But I, uh, really do hope that you and Chanel give it another shot.

I don’t want to be with Chanel. How many times do I have to tell you that? What do I have to do to prove it?

Goodbye, Johnny.

Bye.

What’s new?

Hey, you’re back. I’m back. Sorry I had to check on a few other patients. And I wanted to give that sedative some time to kick in. How do you feel? I’m a little more relaxed, thank you.

Good. Have, have you made a decision? About my request? I have.

It’s obvious to me how much you want this, so… I will commit you to Bayview.

Detective Hunter, your partner has just brought a very serious accusation to my attention. Sean? Oh, I didn’t make any accusation. Might I speak to you in private, Detective Hunter? I’m sorry, what is this about? Your relationship with Commissioner Hernandez. Okay, you know what, this, this really isn’t necessary, Mr.

Mayor. In here, Detective. Now? Sorry, Rafe,

I didn’t, I didn’t know that Rawlings was standing right behind me. Yeah, it’s a little late for apologies, Sean. Look, I can make this better. Okay, I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna talk to him. No! I’m gonna… You’ve done enough. Now, I’m gonna still need your gun and your badge.

Now!

Yeah. Yeah, Mama and I got the flowers you and Henry sent. They were beautiful.

I know. I can’t believe it either. Abe is gone.

So, I heard you’re seeing someone. That’s great. All I’ve ever wanted was for you to be happy. Me? Oh, um, no, there’s no one new in my life.

Uh, Horton? Um, I, I have a customer. I’m, I’m gonna call you back, okay? Okay, yeah, you too. Bye, Horton.

Do you have a permit for that dark cloud you’re carrying around? It’s that obvious, huh? It is to me. What happened?

I just got dumped.

Hey! Hey!

Where’s Johnny? He left. Really? I figured you two would be celebrating your new official status as a couple. He and I have nothing to celebrate. What, he’s not excited about being your boyfriend? He’s not my boyfriend. Trip.

Okay, okay, I’m, I’m, I’m a little lost here. You asked me to leave so you could tell Johnny. So I could tell Johnny that I didn’t want to be with him. What?

I needed some time alone with him to explain why I chose you. Me? Yes, you. Dr. Tripp Johnson, you are the man I want to be with. That is, if you still want to be with me. Oh yeah, I do.

Mmm, something smells delicious. I hope you’re in the mood for some of my famous beef stew. Your amazing beef stew? Yeah. I think I’m in the mood for anything you’re cooking. Oh boy.

How was your day then? Well, two of my favorite people stopped by. Jada and then Tripp. Ah, for good reasons or bad? Jada was here to give her condolences about Abe, and… Well, that was nice of her. What about Tripp? Well, Tripp came to me for a little bit of advice on his love life. Uh huh. What do you mean, uh huh?

Tripp came to you for relationship advice. Well, not exactly, but I am his father. Oh. So you gave it to him. What can I say? When you have a gift, you gotta give it away. Hmm. So you say. Ah. So what about you? Busy morning? Um, well, actually, you know what? I stopped by the pub. And had a very interesting conversation with Kate.

Interesting how. Well, it turns out that my sister in law is the reason that Harris Michaels went after Megan Hathaway. It just didn’t turn out the way she hoped.

Knock, knock. Up for a visitor? Hey Kate.

Look, um, I need to apologize. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a card that said, Sorry that my harebrained scheme almost got you killed. You have nothing to apologize for. It was my plan, and it went awry. I’m actually, uh, I’m actually grateful to you. Oh, grateful. Yeah, if you hadn’t convinced me to go after Megan, I wouldn’t have found out that she still had the power to control me.

Yeah, well, maybe that’s a good thing. Let me know that I’m, I’m still a danger to myself and to the people around me.

But, uh, thanks to you, I’m going somewhere to get the help that I need. Okay, where’s that? Bayview.

Marlena, hey. Oh, hi there. Uh, uh, Are you here on assignment? No, um, no, I’m off duty.

Uh, wait, um, Look, actually, that’s, uh, that’s a lie. I’ve been, I’ve been doing that a lot lately. I’ve been lying to myself and, uh, and to others.

The truth is, I’ve, uh, Look, I’ve been suspended from the force. Oh my, what happened? Look, I’m in trouble. And, uh, Look, I need, I need your help. Look, I need your help before I make my life any worse than I already have.

Detective Hunter just confirmed that you and she have been engaging in an inappropriate workplace relationship. As you know, this is a violation of department policy regarding fraternization between city appointees and their subordinates. So I have no choice but to take immediate action.

I’m gonna need to take a gun in your badge. Okay, well, with all due respect, Mr. Mayor, you, uh, you don’t have the authority to suspend Detective Hunter. Oh, I’m not suspended, Mayor. Or you, for that matter. But as Acting Mayor, I do have the authority to appoint the Commissioner of Police. Or remove him. In other words, you’re fired.

[ Sensual music ]

Rj: Are you texting hope?

Liam: Uh, no, I’m texting wyatt, he needs notes for a meeting. He’s been– uh, he’s been taking over ever since my dad left town.

Rj: Come on, I mean, I’m sure bill knows that the two of you can handle this right now. He probably wants you focusing on your marriage, right? Instead of crashing at his place?

Liam: Well, rj, there’s a reason I’m crashing at my dad’s place.

Carter: Thomas and hope really nailed the fashion preview. The coverage won’t stop.

Ridge: Everyone is eating up this collection. Here’s your line sheet.

Katie: Thank you very much. I just hope we can keep up with demand, and thomas and hope need to keep a professional boundary. They crossed the line in rome.

Carter: Yeah, let’s hope the public doesn’t get wind of what happened.

Ridge: Agreed. We need to deal with this privately.

Katie: Well, good luck with that. Once a professional relationship becomes personal, it tends to infiltrate a company, becomes scandal for the press. Hope and thomas got caught up in a moment, and now that she’s back, she needs to concentrate on her marriage.

Ridge: Obviously, brooke is concerned about this too.

Katie: Well, yeah. Hope doesn’t normally run around kissing other men. She’s always been so moral. She’s focused on her family, committed to liam.

Carter: It’s hard to believe she’s the one responsible for what happened in rome.

Katie: She and thomas were riding high off of the success of the show. I’m sure she’s come to her senses now.

Ridge: I’m sure that doesn’t help liam. You know how he feels about thomas.

Liam: Hey rj, I know hope is your sister. You love her. You’re looking out for her. I can take time off from here, right? The reason I’m in this office right now is because I want the distraction. If I just focus on work…

Rj: You wanna focus on work instead of letting your marriage fall apart, is that it?

Liam: Yeah.

Rj: Look, maybe tonight, instead of staying at your dad’s place, maybe you should just go, and stay with your wife at home for a little. I don’t know, man. Maybe this isn’t my place. I feel… if anybody understands needing some time away, it’s me. So I get it, all right? I’m not coming after you for that. I’m just saying when you do spend time away over something like this, it builds walls, and I’m just worried that those walls aren’t gonna come down over this. I think you just need to go and just talk to her before it’s too late.

Thomas: Yeah, it feels like we’re made for each other. Do you have any idea how incredible you are? You’re just beautiful inside and out.

Hope: Well, you… you make me feel… alive. And I never want this feeling to end. You bring out something in me that… even I never knew existed. You’ve evolved.

Katie: So, the whole time you were in rome, you didn’t notice anything going on between hope and thomas?

Carter: Seemed all business to me. It was very professional.

Ridge: They were just invested in making this preview a success, that’s all I saw.

Katie: Well, your son doesn’t have the best track record…

Ridge: All right, easy. I know he’s made mistakes in the past, but he’s changed his life around, all right? So, this has nothing to do with thomas backsliding.

Carter: It’s probably the hardest thing for liam to grasp.

Ridge: I’m sure it is, but he can’t blame my son for it. He should talk to hope.

Liam: Which acquisition? No, no, hold firm. They’ll come around. Yeah. Yeah. No, I’m good. Rj’s still here. I know, told him about the chocolate ice cream in the cafeteria. Dude just won’t leave.

[ Liam chuckling ] No, I’m fine. It’s okay. I’m all good. Thanks, bro.

Rj: Well, it sounds like wyatt can handle things. You’re allowed to focus on your personal life every once in a blue moon. Maybe you can come around too. Am I getting through to you at all?

Liam: Anybody ever told you how persistent you are?

Rj: I’ve been described as worse.

Liam: Here’s the thing. I warned hope so many times, right? I mean, I told her that thomas should be no bigger a part of our lives than he absolutely has to be.

Rj: Right. And you’ve been super supportive of co-parenting douglas. I’m not knocking you for that, man.

Liam: That’s not… I draw the line at work, right? I have voiced my concerns over and over again about thomas rejoining hope for the future as the lead designer. And we came to an understanding, or at least, I thought we did. And then all of a sudden, hope changes her mind, and now, I’m going, “oh, great. Okay, here we go again. Thomas never ceases to insert himself into our lives.” And now, guess what. All this time, I thought thomas would be the one who blew up our lives and it was actually hope. It was hope. It was your sister who turned to him.

Hope: I’ve never really known this part of me. And on some level, I guess, it scares me.

Thomas: Being with me?

Hope: No. It’s just what’s going on inside of me. It’s almost like something has been unleashed. But it feels… strong. Powerful.

Thomas: Yeah, strong and powerful sound good.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Who knows? Maybe, this is what my mom was talking about all those years, you know, following her heart. Maybe, this is what it feels like. I just know that, um… it took a lot to admit that… I’ve been thinking about you in this way for a while now, and I– I knew it was wrong. I know it’S… this is wrong, but I just… I had to give in.

[ Hope chuckling ] What I dreamed of… this is so much better. I’m hearing different ways for me to screen

Carter: Look, I know how proud you are of thomas. We all are. He’s worked really hard to better himself, and he’s really come into his own.

Ridge: Yes, he has. Thank you, carter. He turned his life around. It’s not an easy thing to do. He’s a good father. He’s a good son. He shows up, his work is impeccable. Yes?

Katie: Yeah. He’s a huge component of hope for the future. I mean, none of this would have happened without him. Hope made an impulsive mistake. She got confused, spending so much time with thomas. She promises it’s never gonna happen again. So, now, it’s really up to liam to forgive her and keep their marriage from falling apart.

Rj: I hear you. But are you– are you telling me that you really want a divorce?

Liam: No.

Rj: No?

Liam: No, I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this, rj. You know what I want? You know what I do want?

Rj: What?

Liam: What I do want, I want my life back. That’s what I want. I want the last several months back. Here’s what I really want. I want the hope I knew from before, back. That’s what I want.

Rj: You could get her back. Come on, liam, you have something worth fighting for. Right now, you do. There’s nothing like what the two of you have and you know that.

Liam: You’re a good little brother.

Rj: Oh, don’t– don’t give me that. I’m not in high school anymore.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not condescending to you. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m just saying it’s a little different when it’s your life.

Rj: That is life, liam. You have good, you have bad, you have ups, you have downs. I mean, come on, that’s every single relationship. Am I wrong?

Liam: No.

Rj: Look, you need to focus on the fact that you love hope. And more importantly than that, you also love your family. If you focus on that, you’ll be able to forget about the fact that she did kiss thomas.

[ Liam groaning ] I can guarantee this isn’t gonna happen again.

Thomas: You know, I never could have imagined this. How incredible it would be right here, with you.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hope: Well, lying here in your arms… I have to admit there… is a part of me inside that is just screaming, “what are you doing?” I mean, I don’t know what I’m doing. My husband left me and I understand why. And I hate that I hurt him, but all of this is just happening so quickly. I don’t know. I– I– I do feel like maybe I am losing my mind. Maybe I am crazy because I mean, I– I had it all, right? Had the perfect family and… yet, I just can’t stop… wanting you. Trying to control my asthma felt anything but normal.

Rj: Liam, you can get past all of this. You both have been fighting for your marriage for so long. You’ve got to find it in your heart to just forgive her this once. Okay?

Liam: Rj, do you know how excited I was to surprise hope? To see her face… when I stepped off the plane? And then when I get to the event, I find out that I was too late. Do you know what I did? I just… I just went looking for her. Do you know how insane that is to just start walking around rome in hopes that I might see my wife? But I got this idea in my head that, um, she might be at the colosseum. I don’t know, it just felt cosmic and as I was approaching, I started to, uh, fantasize, you know. Her turning to me… running up to me, embracing me, thanking me for coming halfway across the world to support her. But what I got instead, the surprise… I got instead was her standing there with somebody else. At first, I couldn’t make out who it was, but it was thomas. And the way… she was looking at him… the desire.

[ Liam scoffing ] That smile of hers. A smile I… I thought was only ever meant for me. And then the look on her face changed and then she leaned in and she just… she kissed the one man… that she always knew I hated more than anyone.

Rj: I’m sorry, liam. I think if you really tried and you really focused on what the two of you have together, I think you could just find it in your heart to forgive her for this.

Liam: I would like that very much… but like I said, I’m not gonna get that image out of my head. Rj… forgiveness ain’t in the cards.

Rj: This isn’t you. You are not a quitter! That’s not the guy that I know. And I know that you know in your heart that hope and you are what is right. What you need to do right now is you need to go out that door and you need to fight for your marriage before it completely falls apart and you live with regret for the rest of your life.

Thomas: You know, I– I think I know what’s going on inside that head of yours. You– you did your best. I mean, you– you really tried to save your marriage. You went to liam, you tried to talk it out and he didn’t want to have any of it. In fact, he jumped straight to divorce. I– I don’t understand how a man could do that to you. You’re such an incredible person. You’re so wonderful. You’re always forgiving. I just– I don’t get it. Any man should be grateful to be with you and I know that I am. I– I don’t wanna be a person who ruins your life. I wanna be a person who puts you first. Lets you know that you’re loved and that you’re the only one. Just you and only you.

Hope: You know, I meant what I said. That I’ve never experienced anything like this. This feeling. It’s just… I don’t know, maybe it is because we’re doing something wrong. I mean, I am technically a married woman and yet… I don’t feel ashamed. I mean how could I? What we shared was so… passionate. Was so incredible. But before I– I get myself in any more trouble than I am… I should probably go.

Thomas: Okay. Look, um… before you do though, I… I have a question and I want you to be honest. Is this… you and me, something you can actually handle? Tell me the truth.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Thomas… you’ve unlocked something in me and I have never felt more alive and I want to keep exploring that with you, but I also need to figure out what my next steps are going to be. So, until I get that figured out, can we just… can we keep this between us?

Thomas: Yeah. Of course. Take your time. H

Victoria: Nicholas. This is a surprise.

Nick: Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you deactivated my security badge or not.

Victoria: Uh, yes, and i also handed out your photo with a red line through your face. Do not admit. It’s not like you ever needed an id. You always charmed your way into the building. So, what brings you by?

Nick: My support team that you disbanded. I wanted to make sure they landed on their feet after you pulled the rug out from under them.

Adam: Okay, then I suggest you give them a business lesson because the only way for a company to grow is for the dead parts to be cut away. Tucker did not mind hemorrhaging a fortune. I’m not interested in running a non-profit. Layoffs are a necessary part of life, so if our company is ever gonna grow, heads will roll. C’est la vie.

Summer: Mom. Mom.

Phyllis: Is it safe?

Summer: Yeah, I’m alone.

Phyllis: Okay. Did anyone follow you?

Summer: No. I was really careful, okay? One hug won’t doom us, right?

Phyllis: I know. Oh, it feels so great to hug you, summer.

Summer: I’ve missed you so much.

Phyllis: I’ve missed you too. I miss you too. All right, here. Let me take a look at you. What’s going on, summer?

Summer: Let’s just– let’s run away. You know, you and me, we could do– we could do mother-daughter travel and fashion vlogs from countries without extradition treaties with the us. I mean, it’s not like there’s anything keeping me here anymore.

Phyllis: Still no luck with kyle.

Traci: So, why is it every time someone calls a family meeting, I’m filled with dread.

Billy: Yeah, you’re not the only one.

Traci: I– I go down my list of possible crimes and I wonder what I’ve done.

Billy: I feel like we’re being summoned to the principal’s office.

Traci: Yeah.

Diane: Hi. Uh, there’s cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, if you’re tempted.

Billy: Uh, I am fine. Thank you. They’re literally buttering us up with buttery pastries. This is not gonna be good.

Traci: No.

Diane: Nothing sinister. We just thought we’d save time if met face-to-face.

Jack: Perhaps we should get right to the heart of the matter. Have a seat.

Traci: Uh, we can’t have a family meeting until the whole family’s here and I think we’re down a few.

Jack: The critical ones are here. Let’s– let’s start it.

[ Billy sighing ]

Ashley: Hi.

Tucker: Hi.

Ashley: I’m so sorry to keep you waiting.

Tucker: That’s it, the wedding’s off.

Ashley: Ha. Did you notice anything odd when you left the house today?

Tucker: Always. Why?

Ashley: Well, jack and diane’s behavior, like they’re up to something.

Tucker: Ugh, no doubt.

Ashley: Right?

Tucker: Every time you walk into the room, their conversation suddenly stops.

Ashley: Exactly.

Tucker: And they’ve got these little tight-lipped smiles on their faces all the time. Then they gotta do something else in another room whenever you come in.

Ashley: I guess we shouldn’t be that surprised considering that bomb that we dropped on them yesterday about us starting our whole new company.

Tucker: I love dropping bombs.

Ashley: Yeah? I never noticed that about you.

Tucker: In fact, I have a little bomb myself to drop. That is a secret weapon. You can also consider it your wedding gift. Lactaid is 100% real milk,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sharon: Your regular to go.

Adam: Well, hey, if you want me to go, sharon, just say so.

Sharon: Sounds like your new company’s keeping you pretty busy.

Adam: I would not have it any other way.

Sharon: Making sweeping decisions, just putting people out of work like that?

Adam: Well, it is easier if you think about them having faces or names. They’re just numbers in the hopper and when they’re numbers up…

[ Clicking tongue ]

Sharon: But you’ve not even met them. You barely know what their day-to-day jobs look like.

Adam: Look, business isn’t pretty and it’s not for everyone. I’m doing what is necessary to get mccall ready to take over newman media.

Sharon: You’ve barely gotten your seat warm in your new company and you’re already prepping to take over another one?

Adam: Look, I’m not gonna bore you with all of this, sharon. I’m sure that you have something sweeter to do.

Sharon: You wanna grab your family’s media company.

Adam: Yeah, and I want to fold it into my new enterprise: Adustus international.

Sharon: Hm. Interesting.

Adam: What is?

Sharon: Like you said, business and baking, totally different things. If you wanna make bread, for instance, you take your time. You wait and let your ingredients rest. You let them show you what they’re capable of. You care about every detail and you understand how every essential ingredient goes into making the final outcome. Wow, I just thought of that just now.

Adam: That is very fascinating. Well, thank you for the baking lesson.

Sharon: You can come out now.

Victoria: It’s not as if I demanded your team’s resignation after you took your leave of absence.

Nick: Disbanding my team should’ve been a conversation.

Victoria: Well, if they have any grievances, they’re welcome to take it up with human resources. We’ve often restructured when a top executive leaves, for whatever reason.

Nick: And what happens when I come back?

Victoria: We’ll burn that bridge when we get there. Oh, come on. I’m kidding. I would’ve thought that a little time off would’ve at least given you your sense of humor back.

Nick: Not everything bounces right back, vic.

Victoria: Yes, I know that, which is why your staff has been given other duties in your absence so that you can have time. Time to recover and to help your family heal without the added pressure of coming back.

Nick: Well, what would I do without you?

Victoria: This isn’t some nefarious plan that I set in motion, you know that, right? Dad doesn’t have a problem with it.

Nick: Just because he’s silent, it doesn’t mean he agrees. It just means he’s busy.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Doing what?

Nick: Doing the matchmaker thing again with me and adam. He wants us to brother up at the reinvented mccall.

Traci: So, ashley’s absence is intentional.

Billy: So, this isn’t a kinder, gentler plea for family harmony like traci tried a few days ago.

Jack: If you’re preparing a lecture about abbott family unity, I direct your attention to ashley, who announced her betrayal to the press before telling her family that she had started a company behind our backs.

Traci: Yeah, yeah, not the most tactful way.

Jack: I can think of better descriptors.

Traci: Jack, she has to know the kind of push back she’s gonna get from you.

Jack: So, the family’s the last to know because she’s a coward?

Traci: Am I going to have to say this? Okay, fine. Jack, you didn’t call us together for a family meeting when you announced diane’s promotion to the press.

Diane: That’s hardly the same thing.

Traci: Oh, really? Tell me how.

Jack: This is the second time in recent memory that ashley has chosen to play dirty. She’s not discussing this with any of us. She’s not answering my questions. If she’s determined to keep us in the dark, we have to protect jabot at all costs.

Traci: Oh, I hate to ask, what does that mean?

Kyle: Hey.

Diane: Kyle, hi.

Traci: Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Kyle: Family meeting minus ashley and me. Got something to tell me, now would probably be a good time. With downy infusions,

Sally: I’ve been meaning to thank you for the card and the flowers. It was very thoughtful, especially in light of everything you and nick and faith went through.

Sharon: Well, we all went through quite an ordeal that night.

Sally: Yeah, they should really make “I heard you were a badass and I’m glad you didn’t explode” cards.

Sharon: That would be… quite a niche market.

Sally: Thankfully.

Sharon: But you and adam, you lost your baby and I know how difficult that is. People grieve in many different ways, but they say if the parents can manage to grieve–

Sally: Together.

Sharon: Yeah, I– I don’t mean to overstep or suggest that you do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Sally: Thank you.

Sharon: It’s just sad to see both of your hearts broken like that.

Sally: Yeah, well, adam’s fine. He’s back to wheeling and dealing.

Sharon: You heard him on the phone.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: Yeah. He’s, um, firing people left and right like it’s a game.

Sally: Mm-hmm. He’s playing god with people’s lives.

[ Sally sighing ] Anyway, if you can support him in any way, I’m sure it’d be much appreciated by his family and his employees, but I… don’t owe him anything and I have given all I plan to give. Thanks again.

Ashley: A wedding gift? Isn’t that just slightly premature?

Tucker: Okay, an engagement gift. What can I tell you? I’m a giver and a lover. That’s my curse.

Ashley: Yeah, we talked about this though.

Tucker: Inside that box is your fondest wish come true.

Ashley: Oh, I find that hard to believe. In a box? One that small? I think I need to give you a little refresher course on my hopes and dreams because, um, a phone number, really?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: And whose is it?

Tucker: It’s a gentleman I know who is the key to bringing phyllis home for good.

Ashley: Oh, and phyllis is the person that could get rid of diane once and for all. This guy’s gonna make my dreams come true?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: How’d you find him?

Tucker: Let’s just say he is closing in on the emt who survived phyllis’ ambulance crash.

Ashley: Okay, you’re not toying with my emotions, are you?

Tucker: No, I overheard michael talking with… michael talking with phyllis’ kids yesterday.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: And from what I’ve gathered, this carson guy, this emt, is the key to making her self-defense claim stick.

Ashley: That’s not gonna be enough to get her off the hook completely.

Tucker: Eh. Baldwin has been known to pull some rabbits out of a hat and she’s got you and nikki newman to vouch for her.

Ashley: Oh, I hate to get my hopes up. It hurts so bad when they crash and burn.

Tucker: I understand, but if I can bring this emt in on a platter, that’ll keep phyllis out of lockup. She would be beholden to us, would she not?

Phyllis: All right, tell me, where does it stand with you and kyle?

Summer: I got a room at the athletic club.

Phyllis: You did? Oh, no. What about harrison?

Summer: Harrison, he’s confused. He’s sad. He’s trying to act like he’s brave and it just sucks because I– I mean, I love him like he’s my own.

Phyllis: I know, but this is horrible.

Summer: Yeah, kyle hates me and I– I don’t know if I can turn it around.

Phyllis: Don’t say that! Of course you can turn it around. Hate is as strong as love. It’s an emotion that is as strong as love, okay? It’s filled with passion, so just step back and let kyle sort of go through what he has to go through and he’ll come around.

Summer: I don’t think I can talk myself out of this one.

Phyllis: God, I– I feel horrible that this is happening to you. I– I– I feel like I’m kind of responsible for this.

Summer: Well, yeah. You absolutely are.

Diane: Your father wanted to discuss the landscape that ashley and tucker are creating.

Jack: Yes, we’re discussing the family company. Clearly, not a concern of yours as you refused my offer to have you stay on at jabot.

Kyle: And I was co-ceo once. Ran marchetti. I had a seat at the table making decisions, and then you choose summer and expect me be okay with scraps?

Jack: You chose to chart your own course. I am trying to respect that. You can’t have it both ways.

Kyle: Is that the new motto? Family, you’re either in or you’re out? Is that right?

Diane: No, jack.

Traci: Let’s just take a moment and everybody just– just step back.

Billy: I don’t see the big deal, okay? Better or worse, we’re family here. Let him stay.

Diane: I know. Can we just talk about this?

Kyle: No, no, no, no, no. The great and all-knowing jack abbott has spoken. Let his will be done. At least I know where I stand.

Traci: Jack, don’t let this happen.

Jack: He’s made his choice.

Traci: You did not give him any choice! Sweetheart, look at me. Look, your place is here with all of us. It is. Please, just stay.

Diane: Jack, don’t do this.

[ Traci gasping ]

Kyle: Okay.

Traci: Really?

Diane: Kyle. We always had questions.

Sharon: Victor, where did you come from?

Victor: Hello, sharon. Well, that’s a long, complicated story.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad you’re here. I need some information.

Victor: Concerning?

Sharon: Your sons.

Victor: That is privileged information.

Sharon: What’s behind your push to have nick and adam work together?

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victoria: Dad’s playing matchmaker with you and adam… again.

Nick: You think he would’ve learned his lesson by now.

Victoria: Well, there is a crazy sort of logic to it, I suppose.

Nick: Said the sister who couldn’t wait to get rid of me.

Victoria: Oh, come on. That’s not true. You know how much I love you.

Nick: Then talk to me. I mean… [ Sighing ] You wanted me out of here, so you made it happen. You can’t even be honest about it. Why?

Victoria: I’m just trying to give you time to deal with your personal life. Stop trying to make me feel guilty.

Nick: What did it have to be nate? Why didn’t you replace me with him?

Victoria: He’s more in line with the way that I work now.

Nick: Oh, ruthless?

Victoria: Admit it. You’ve never had the stomach for that.

Nick: Who’s gonna be the voice of reason for you now?

Victoria: I don’t need one. I’m in a good place. The company’s in a good place. Look, if you wanna put your abilities to good use, then maybe you should go work with adam. If anyone could use a voice of reason, it’s definitely our brother.

Phyllis: I made so many mistakes. I put you through so much, summer. I’m so sorry. I– I didn’t even realize that you still needed me.

Summer: Look, daniel and i shut you out and I– I know how much that hurt you.

Phyllis: I know, but look what I put you through. I– listen, I’m gonna work this out. I’m gonna find a way to work this out for you–

Summer: No, mom. I don’t want you to get anymore involved in my marriage than you already are.

Phyllis: No, no. Listen, listen. I’m gonna talk to kyle–

Summer: No, please!

Phyllis: I’m gonna get him–

Summer: No. Look. I know your intentions are good and I really appreciate that, but this is just something that I need to work out on my own, okay? Uh, michael said that you might be ready to stop living on the lam?

Phyllis: Uh… yeah, yeah. He’s gonna try and find carson so I can come back to town and make everything up to everyone.

Summer: I’ve been saying that we should find carson and you shot me down. I mean. What– what’s changed?

Phyllis: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe he knows a little more than we thought.

Summer: Why would you think that?

Phyllis: I don’t know. Michael’s gonna find him. Listen, you just worry about kyle, okay?

Summer: I told you, mom, it might be too late for me and kyle.

Phyllis: Nope, nope. No. It’s never too late for love. Never. Love always finds a way.

Audra: Yeah, we can– we can look into that. You know, maybe it’s time you broke away from the family. The family business. You know, grab some freedom. It’s so much easier and cleaner when you go after what you want when you want it. And to hell with expectations.

Kyle: It’s quite an offer. I’m intrigued. Newman media is going places, that’s for sure. But, uh… it’s not really a decision I can make in the spur of the moment.

Audra: Hm. It’d be a lot more palatable than working with your estranged wife. Yeah, no, I’m excited about the possibilities. Uh, let me run it by my partner and see what he has to say. Oh, yeah. I’m looking forward to growing a relationship as well. Yeah, let’s stay in touch.

Kyle: This partner, anyone I know?

Audra: Possibly. About 6’2″, eyes I can drown in and kisses that can put the curl back in my hair.

Kyle: It’s kind of bold of you to assume, isn’t it?

Audra: That you’re dying to come work with me. Um, I’m just manifesting our future.

Kyle: Hm. Well, let’s talk about my future. Your job offer. I’m interested.

Audra: See? It pays to be bold. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. What can you do with sensitive skin?

Traci: I know that you’re upset with ashley.

Diane: But you can’t take it out on kyle.

Jack: He is old enough to face the consequences of his actions!

Diane: He’s hurting because of what happened with summer.

Jack: Yes, and this house is whole lot sadder without her here. He chose this course. We need to focus on jabot.

Billy: Pivoting to business, yeah? I suggest that we bump up the release of the teenage fragrance line. Marketing is ready to go, puts emphasis on what we actually do as a company.

Traci: Do you really think that ashley is that big a threat right out of the gate? I mean, aren’t they gonna need months to get this off the ground?

Jack: We don’t know if they’re building this from the ground up or if they bought a company that’s ready to market her products. She hasn’t told us and I probably don’t have to remind you, the last time she split from jabot, she took her patents and left us scrambling.

Billy: And this is assuming tucker’s behind this.

Jack: Oh, he has somehow seduced her into turning her back on us and make no mistake, his end game is jabot.

Diane: Then they’re both out of their minds.

Billy: Okay, we don’t have to worry about them. They can’t do anything to hurt jabot. They’ll have fun for a couple months, they’ll get bored and then they’ll be over it.

Jack: I wish I could be that nonchalant.

Traci: And I didn’t ever think I would ever live to see the day that billy is the calm and rational one. No offense, honey.

Billy: None taken.

Jack: We can’t just wait and see what ashley does. We have to act. Now. I suggest we see to it that our sister is removed from the jabot board immediately. Who’s with me?

Kyle: You like this, don’t you? Tempting me.

Audra: Oh, you like it too. You want more.

Kyle: Hm, I do.

Audra: You can have all you want, kyle. You know, I think we’ll work well together.

Kyle: How do you know that?

Audra: Intuition. You know, we have so much that we could teach each other, you know? And, uh, newman media needs us.

Kyle: Could be dangerous, mixing business and pleasure, don’t you think?

Audra: You know that feeling you get right under your skin when we’re together?

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Imagine if you could infuse that electricity and energy into our company.

Kyle: That sounds like we’d be spending a lot of time with the doors locked. You know, putting our heads together.

Audra: Tell me what you want, kyle. Just say the words and it’s yours.

Kyle: Newman media.

Audra: Mm. Music to my ears. How soon can you start?

Kyle: Oh, no. She thought this was gonna be easy. No, I’m gonna make you work for it. I may take my time, make you wait. Watch you lose all your chill.

Audra: You wouldn’T.

Kyle: No?

Audra: You know, we should have a rule: No looking at me that way when we’re in a public place.

Kyle: What is that?

Audra: Like you wanna take me upstairs and finish what you’re starting.

Kyle: Mm. Can’t do that.

Audra: Now that– that would be bad.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: I have a company to run and you, uh– you know, it would be so much better if we run it together.

Kyle: Okay. What’s the pay like?

Audra: Negotiable.

Kyle: I have demands.

Audra: You silver spoon in the mouth types are just used to having it your way, right? Tell me. How do I make you mine?

Sharon: I know that you would do anything to make adam happy, including risking the happiness of your other children, but here’s my question: Moving nick to mccall, is that to save adam or is that for your own benefit? Hoping that the boys would have some kind of sibling breakthrough working together?

Victor: What makes you think I can’t achieve both things at once?

Sharon: That’s an admirable goal. Nick can balance things out, as long as adam doesn’t feel resentful for the interference and add fuel to the fire.

Victor: Nick can handle himself.

Sharon: That’s true. But is it fair to put nick in that position? Where an already tense relationship could be made worse?

Victor: You have another solution?

Sharon: Hm… I don’t know. Maybe. I might.

[Stomach growling]

Nick: I know I upset you earlier when I was talking about working with adam.

Sally: You should be able to talk about adam whenever you want. So, I promise I will try and make space for that.

Nick: Good because I could really use your advice.

[ Nick sighing ]

Sharon: Good, you got my message.

Adam: Yeah. You said I forgot something?

Sharon: Your manners. You didn’t say goodbye.

Adam: Uh, sorry. I– I have a new company to run.

Sharon: Yeah, so do I. Exciting, isn’t it? Putting all the right ingredients together. Figuring out what works, what gives us the best outcome.

Adam: Wh– what company are you talking about?

Sharon: Kirsten incorporated. Cameron left it to me in his will. So now, as a new business owner, I have a proposition for you.

Tucker: Looking a gift horse in the mouth is considered bad form.

Ashley: I very much like my wedding gift. It was very thoughtful of you, actually.

Tucker: This is– this is the guy that can keep phyllis out of prison.

Ashley: I know, listen, I realize that I’m the one that said that phyllis is the answer to our– our diane problem, but she could be creating a whole new phyllis problem. I’m not sure we should get her involved.

Tucker: Well, she won’t be involved, per se. She’s just A… she’s like a battering ram. You just gotta wind her up and point her in diane’s direction.

Ashley: Problem is she doesn’t have an off switch. If she goes rogue, bad things happen. The last time she went rogue, jeremy stark ended up threatening my family. It wasn’t good.

Tucker: Well, look at it this way. Phyllis is an apex predator and now that stark is dead, phyllis is the top of the food chain.

Ashley: Yeah, she doesn’t know how to stop. She never does.

Tucker: Well, how much harm can one person do, really? And plus, she’s there for reinforcement. She’s an added level of attack.

Ashley: It’s very risky.

Tucker: But you like risk, don’t you?

Ashley: I do. I like it a lot, actually. When it comes to business. Not so much diane and definitely not where phyllis is concerned.

Tucker: Okay. How about we not point her in diane’s direction? We point her at jack’s?

Kyle: I’ll need you to be flexible. I mean, what I need in a partner may change moment to moment.

Audra: Done. What else can I do to make this transition smooth?

Kyle: It’ll take a lot to get me to put jabot in the rear view.

Audra: Well, I promise to make you forget and give you something to…

Summer: Hi. I’m glad that I found you. Unless I’m interrupting something.

Audra: Uh, no, not at all. I was actually just on my way to the office. It’s good to see you, summer.

Summer: You too.

Audra: Oh, kyle, uh, we’ll be in touch about that other matter.

Kyle: Counting on it.

Audra: Ta.

Summer: Ta.

Billy: I’m sorry, jack. You wanna remove ashley from the board of directors?

Traci: I can’t believe you’re even suggesting that.

Jack: I don’t see how she can possibly stay. She has just created a company in direct competition with jabot and there is a chance she could take her patents and run.

Billy: We don’t know if she can do that or if that’s her intention.

Traci: We didn’t oust her when she started her own company in paris.

Jack: She didn’t have tucker dripping poison in her ear at the time.

Traci: No, I am so sorry. Daddy wanted us all to have seats on the board for a reason. I’m with billy. Ashley stays.

Billy: It’s our decision, jack.

[ Jack sighing ] Diane, you’re practically family. I assume that you’re gonna stand with your fiance? Go with jack?

Diane: Actually.

Jack: Wait, actually what?

Diane: Well, we already talked about this. Ashley and tucker can only hurt us if we let them.

Traci: And that is how those of us on the high road get the majority, which is as it should be. Jack, please don’t make this worse. Hasn’t this blood feud gone on long enough?

Tucker: Imagine what diane’s reaction would be if phyllis could get jack to forgive her?

Ashley: Yeah, but phyllis, she’s just too unpredictable. I mean, she has no censor at all. I mean, she basically despises and distrusts everybody.

Tucker: Those are all positive qualities when it comes to using her. How is she the wrong person for this job? Are you just afraid that the other side is gonna retaliate?

Ashley: Well, they will. Jack is never going to forgive phyllis. She put diane in jail.

Tucker: I don’t know. I just– I trust phyllis to find a way. And phyllis’ freedom– actually, her very existence is an affront to diane. And she can get diane off her game in ways that we never could, so.

Ashley: Okay, look, if we decide to do this, you promise me that phyllis isn’t going to get arrested, she’s not going to go into hiding, she’s not gonna get dead again.

Tucker: Nobody gets dead in this one.

Ashley: You think it’s gonna work? This operation get rid of diane?

Tucker: Just need the right players. And a yes from you. You know I love to hear you say it. Say it. Tell me to find this carson guy.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Let’s do it. Let’s get rid of diane once and for all. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Phyllis: Hi.

Michael: Oh– we have got to stop meeting like this. No, I mean it. Because if we don’t, you’re gonna get locked up. I mean, some internet detective with a drone up there or a police officer out on a stroll and your life on the run comes to a screeching halt!

Phyllis: Okay, listen to me. Listen to me.

Michael: What?

Phyllis: I’m running out of time. Summer’s whole life is imploding. Her entire marriage is falling apart, okay? I mean, I guess I could turn myself in, but I would never see daylight again. I have to help my daughter. I have to. At least, I have to try.

Michael: Because of your track records with relationships before? I mean…

Phyllis: I need your support. Michael, seriously. I need you. My daughter thinks that I’m to blame for her marriage falling apart.

Michael: All right, I hate to have to break this to you, but this might require more work and determination than even you possess, my friend.

Phyllis: I have to give it a try. I have to. I mean, I can’t have my daughter worried that I’m going to jail and worried that she’s gonna lose her husband at the same time. I can’T.

Michael: All right. I shouldn’t raise your hopes, but–

Phyllis: You gotta give me something. You do.

Michael: Listen to me, listen to me.

Phyllis: You gotta give me something. Did you find carson?

Michael: We are so close. If you could just hang on, just a little longer.

Summer: Could I ask what you and audra were talking about?

Kyle: She wants me to come work at newman media. Say it. Whatever it is.

Summer: Didn’t waste a minute.

Kyle: Who? Me or audra? My job as ceo of marchetti was sacrificed for you.

Summer: I’m the one that got the job at marchetti after the woman you had an affair and baby with threatened me. I left my home to protect your relationship with harrison. And– and you followed me to milan after I begged you not to. Do you remember that?

[ Summer sighing ] After I told you that we would never work together, that we didn’t belong together, you ignored me because you knew that deep in your heart that we did.

Kyle: No, no, no. Okay, okay, I’m not– I’m not doing this. Not here.

Summer: You know what? Fine. Fine. Fine. I’m gonna let you figure out where you belong now. I– I just want to remind you that audra is my brother’s ex. And he doesn’t trust her. She doesn’t seem– I don’t know, sketchy to you? Like she’s up to something?

Kyle: Maybe I do have a type after all.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: You just want to hurt me and that’s fine, I get it, but I’m just trying to–

Kyle: I don’t– I don’t need anything from you, summer. I wish you the best with your choices because I’m doing just fine with mine.

Sally: So, I’m assuming this dilemma has something to do with victor asking you to join adam at mccall.

Nick: Yeah.

Sally: Okay. So, what would it look like if you did not go back to newman?

Nick: Well, vic would be overjoyed. She wants someone who’s more in line with her priorities.

Sally: Someone who brings out her vicious side?

Nick: Yeah, that is definitely not me.

Sally: And what happens if you take door #2?

Nick: If I went to mccall, I would just be a pawn in another one of dad’s games. But, if I’m being honest, it might be the best place for me right now, and if I did it, I wouldn’t be doing it for dad.

Sally: Why then?

Nick: I mean, you’ve seen adam. He’s got no one to talk to about what he’s gone through and he’s just gonna try and bury himself in his work and that will never work. Then, he’s gonna turn into the old adam again and then none of us is safe.

Sally: Wow. That was unexpected.

Nick: What?

Sally: You really care about your brother. Maybe more than you’ve ever admitted to yourself.

Sharon: You should see the condition cameron left his company in. It’s a mess, but it’s my mess. To be honest, it’s something that I never thought I wanted, but it’s funny how life throws you a challenge, something you didn’t expect, and you just figure it out.

Adam: Are– are you proposing that I buy this company from you?

Sharon: No, no. Not at all. I have the perfect recipe for success. We merge. We put it all together and turn it into one powerhouse company. We do this thing together.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Radio chatter ] Boss, I made sure brook lynn made it home safe and sound. Good. How about I take you home now? No, I’m not going anywhere until I get an update from dex at general hospital.

[ Radio chatter continues ] How about you, anna? Are you ready to go home? No. I can’t stop thinking about curtis. It’s the worst that he was caught in the middle of all of this. I mean, the shooter was aiming at one of us. Either you or me. And curtis got in the way. I really appreciate you taking this parenting class with me. I know you didn’t want to. I did it for my little brother. There is nothing that I would not do for ace. What’s this? Hanging out after class? You did great tonight. Well, I learned from the best. Epiphany always told me that I need to learn how to compartmentalize, put my fears and doubts aside and just do my job. She would have been really proud of you. The way you stayed focused on your patient, despite all the chaos. Not know ing if the shooterwas still out there, whether he was going to shoot again. You helped keep curtis alive. We did it together. Yeah. We did, didn’t we? I’m so happy that you could join me tonight. And for once, we will not squabble about the check — you paying.

[ Laughs ] My pleasure. Been a long time since we had a night out, just the two of us. I agree. Even after all these years, there’s only one thing that would make it even better. And that’s if there were three of us here. I know. Thinking about your sister, irene. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Irene was so full of life. Just like curtis, huh?

[ Both laugh ] Boy.

[ Monitor beeping ]I’ll be right back. Trina: He’s going to make it, isn’t he? Tell me! Trina, honey, you’re in shock. The doctors and nurses are doing everything that they can to help curtis. That’s right. I’ve called in dr. Barnsdall, the neurosurgeon, who’s on his way.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’ve worked with him before. He’s the very best at what he does. But what if something goes wrong? Didn’t he just say that the surgery is complicated because the bullet is near his spine?

[ Voice brea king ] Does thatmean that he could be paralyzed? Yes. Yeah, there is — there is a risk. But because curtis is unconscious, he can’t speak for himself, so we have to speak for him. And the curtis ashford that I know — he would do anything, anything at all to be with the people that he loves. Anything.

[ Crying ]

I know you have curtis’s best interests at heart… …and I totally trust your judgment. It means so much to me that you have that much faith in me. Dr. Robinson. I have curtis’s family’s blessing. Do everything you can to save curtis’s life, no matter the risk. We’re going to do everything we can.

[ Sniffles ] You’re so strong, sweetie. Honestly?

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t feel so strong, mom. I’m so scared. I’m scared, too, honey. I’m so scared, too. It’s okay. You know, if irene were here, she’d tell us, “don’t dwell on the past, but look to the future.” Amazing, isn’t it? I came here looking for a son, and I found a whole family.

[ Both chuckle ] Marshall? Everything was good at curtis’s birthday party. Has something changed? It seems curtis and portia are still working it out. Okay. And what about you? What about me? What about me? You don’t think I know what losing epiphany johnson meant to you? I-I got a chance to know her. She was a fine woman. We even hung out a little bit at curtis’s nightclub. She cared about you. And you don’t have to tell me that the feeling wasn’t mutual, because I know better. Stella, I, um… I got this memory. Yeah. Right here. Right here. Just before epiphany was going off to take her mcats, she — she kissed me. Now that kiss, that — that one kiss is going to have to last me forever. Oh. Marshall, I’m so sorry. You think it would help if you talked to somebody? A professional, maybe? Like a shrink. I already have. Josslyn, I didn’t see you there. Obviously. Your girlfriend’s downstairs. Is something wrong? Trina’s dad, curtis, was shot tonight. I don’t understand why someone would take a shot at curtis. He left that violent world behind him when he traded in his P.I. License and bought the savoy. Do you think his old life followed him? An enemy from the past? I, uh — I-I-I talked to dante for a moment at the scene, and there were three shots fired. And he thinks that curtis was hit with the ricochet of one of them. So he wasn’t the intended target? Seems that way. In a way, that almost makes it worse. The randomness of it. If you and I had been at the pool instead of the restaurant… both: It could have been you. It’s no secret that my past has finally caught up with me.

[ Radio chatter ] I should have taken someone spray painting the word “murderer” on my door a bit more seriously. I just wanted to believe that it was a teenage prank. Maybe it wasn’T. Ma ybe it was a warningabout worse things to come. Three shots at long range lacks a personal touch. Yeah, you’re right. I mean, it’s military — paramilitary. Which isn’t exactly your world, is it? I-I know that you and valentin have gone into some kind of business venture together, which he hasn’t told me anything about. I didn’t for a second think that it was charitable work. Is that what this shooting has been about? Hey. Hi, sonny, anna. I came as soon as I heard about the shooting. Thank god you’re okay. Both of you. There was a shooting. You just — you need to go home. I’ll have frank — frank. No, absolutely — absolutely not. This is my hotel. How would it look to my staff and my guests if I just went and hid? My presence helps send a message that things are safe here. Besides, I’m not going anywhere until I find out if anyone was hurt. Somebody was hurt. Who was it? Sonny, please. Who was it? Just tell me. It was curtis.

Curtis was shot? Oh, my god. Is he alright? Finn and elizabeth were here. They were able to help him before the paramedics — they — they rushed him to G.H. And, you know, we’re just waiting for an update. How bad is it?

[ Radio chatter ] He was hit in the back. Oh. Was anyone else hurt? Nobody else was hurt. Well, I’m grateful for that. But who would shoot curtis? Was it someone from his past with a score to settle? Please, sonny, if you know anything, you do not have to protect me. Just tell me. It is just conjecture at this point. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s it. So someone else was the target? Did they mean to finish what they started and tried to kill you? Is that it? I know life is fragile. Pretty much learn that the first day of nursing school, if you didn’t already know it. And at G.H., We see death every week in all its forms. Sometimes it’s a shock. Other times, it’s almost a relief when you see a patient struggling with a long-term disease. You know, in med school, they — they teach us that we have to build an armor against it. Because if you don’t do that, you can’t do your job. But when it’s somebody you know, someone you care about, someone you… you know, we all wake up every morning thinking we have all the time in the world. But we don’T. What tonight taught us is we should never waste a single second. Marshall ashford, I am so proud of you for seeking help. Did talking to the therapist give you closure and help you deal with the pain of losing epiphany? It helped to talk about it. But then, stella, things got even more personal. Okay, well, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you think I kept enough locked up inside me? Huh, stella? Yeah. Did you talk about your diagnosis from way back in the day? Yeah. Yeah. He said I’ve been off my meds long enough, so they have a better sense of my behavior and my biochemistry and all that. Did the psychiatrists agree with portia? Is there any chance that you were misdiagnosed with schizophrenia over 40 years ago? Stella, there’s more than a chance. It seems almost certain it was something else. Where downstairs is trina? First floor with her mom near the trauma room. Thank you. Call a rideshare to get home to ace. Josslyn: Oh, esme. Where do you think you’re going? We’re going to have a little chat.

That I just found out that curtis is my father, only to maybe lose him. Like, this doesn’t feel right. No one said that you’re going to lose him. You can’t think like that. You have to think positive thoughts. Mom, you don’t have to be brave for my benefit. You just told me that you were terrified. Yes. Yes, honey, I am. I am terrified. But I also have hope. Your father’s a strong man. And as much as you want him in your life, I know that he wants to be there for you.

[ Gasps ] Trina. Hey. Hi. I don’t think you and I have anything to talk about, josslyn. Oh, that’s where you’re wrong. You see, spencer may have done his part for his little brother. He might have come with you to this parenting class. But right now, trina is going through hell, and he needs to be with her. Well, then, I guess it’s lucky for trina that you knew where to find us. Do you stalk all of your friends? Oh, it’s not luck, actually. My grandma runs all of the educational classes here at G.H. She told me that spencer was in this class, and I think it’s a good thing that I showed up when I did. I’m on to you, esme. Oh. You’re on to me? What — what does that mean? It means I saw that tender little moment between you and spencer. What was that? Your homework? The instructor tell you to get closer with ace’s brother after class? Okay, that so-called “tender moment” that you saw was literally just me thanking spencer for coming to a class he didn’t want to go to. Oh. That is all. Yeah. Yeah. I saw exactly how you thanked him. Okay, look, I have apologized to you, but that was who I was. I am not that person anymore. That’s not good enough! Okay — you took things from me that I can’t ever get back, and you have yet to pay for them. Look, I am so sorry, but I don’t know what you expect me to do to make you believe me. You can turn yourself in. So, if the psychiatrist thought you were wrongfully diagnosed all those years ago with schizophrenia, did he say what he thought was really wrong with you? Of course not. All he said was he didn’t want to speculate without reading the original file that was written by whoever diagnosed me 40 years ago, back before computers even documented everything. Even if I was able to track down a hard copy of the file, I got a feeling I already know — or at least I think I know — what’d be on that file. You’re thinking it’s what led portia to the same conclusion? Bingo.

[ Cellphone rings ] Portia. Portia, hey. Look, I’m in the middle of something right now. Can I call you back? I’m sorry, stella, but this can’t wait. I have been trying to get ahold of marshall, but I’m not getting a response. Do you happen to know where he is? I’m sitting with him at the haven bistro. What’s wrong? Curtis has been shot. Oh, dear god. Stella? I’ll tell you everything when you get to G.H. They’re about to take him to surgery. Oh. We’re on our way. Where are we going? Just pray for curtis and come with me. You know, I was working on adrenaline tonight. And after they took curtis away and my job was done…

[ Breathes deeply ] …All I wanted was to be with you and to see your face and to hold your hand and to know that you were out of danger. I felt the same thing. I just wanted you to be okay. I learned the hard way, life isn’t always fair.

[ Sighs ] Sometimes it’s very cruel, and…bad things happen to really good people. Sometimes good people do bad things. Hey.

[ Breathes sharply ] We’ve all made mistakes. Can’t keep beating ourselves up for bad decisions we made in our past. You know, either we can’t move past them or… or what? Or we have the — the courage to admit they were just that — they were mistakes, but not failures. And we’re brave enough to move on. Maybe — maybe a little bruised, you know, but — but not beaten… …and hopefully a hell of a lot smarter. Nina, I got my share of — of enemies, but there’s no reason to believe that I’m the shooter’s target. No. Right? Exactly. It could just as easily have been someone aiming at me. Anna. No. You risked your life bringing aunt liesl home in time to save willow. Do you really think there are people out there still loyal to victor cassadine? Not mercenaries that were on his payroll, no. I doubt any of them would care to honor his memory by seeking revenge. But now that my sordid past has been publicized around the world, it’s just as likely that it was someone from my past looking for payback.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing stops ] Dex. Any news? Yeah, uh, curtis is hanging in there. The bullet is lodged near his spinal cord, so there’s a lot of concern around that. They’re about to wheel him into the O.R. For surgery. Anything else? Look, I’m not a doctor, but from my battlefield experience, it, uh… it feels like the odds are stacked against curtis. What about josslyn? Is she with trina? Yeah, she’s here at the hospital. Alright, listen, stick close to joss. And let me know if anything changes. Anything? W-what we know right now is curtis is alive, and — and they’re going to take him right now to surgery. Okay. Alright. Well… that’s good news. It is good news. And the way you said that, I mean, if there’s good news, there’s bad news, too, right? And I don’t have to guess what that is.

[ Breathes deeply ] Do I? Curtis. Dr. Andy: We’re taking curtis up to surgery. We’re going to do everything we can, portia. I know you will.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Elevator bell dings ]

And people tell me I’m the dangerous one? When you hurt someone the way you hurt me, they pay for it. I learned that from my family. Oh, and who taught you that? Your ex-stepdad, the mob boss? I’m here to protect my friend, trina. Alright? No more, no less. You don’t have any friends, so I can see why that might be hard for you to understand. Look, I-I don’t know if spencer considers me to be his friend or not. Uh-huh. But he is ace’s brother. And because nikolas decided to skip town, spencer has been helping me with ace, and I really appreciate that. But that is all he is to me. No more, no less. Yeah, that might convince some people. I mean, it should, because it’s the truth! Look, I know all of the lies that I allegedly told you, but this isn’t one of them. And I am not the old esme. Then who are you? Because you’re still abrasive. And I wonder which psychopath did you inherit that from? Ryan or heather? How dare you?! We should not all jump to conclusions. All dex said is curtis is being sent to surgery. He — we both know he’s a fighter, right? Yeah. I have to get to the hospital. Okay, gabe. We’re going to have gabe take you to the hospital. We’ll all go. Let’s — no, no, no, no. You and anna — you and anna were witnesses. Maybe you can help the police track down whoever did this to curtis. Okay, frank.

[ Radio chatter ] Need you to take her to the hospital. Yes, sir. We’ll talk soon, okay? Okay. Alright. Take care, you. Take care. You take care. What nina said before about someone finishing what they started — what does she mean by that? You know what? She — nina always worries that I’m going to be in the line of fire, and… …it just goes with the territory.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Trina. It’s going to be okay. Come here. Come on.

[ Voice breaking ] You don’t know that. Okay, I don’T. But until the doctors give ussomething to worry about, let’s stay positive, okay? You and curtis, you guys are cut from the same cloth. What do you mean? I mean, look at the way that you snuck onto the haunted star. You stared death right in the face. You survived

everything thatmy uncle victor threw at you, and that was a lot. Where did that will to live come from, if not from curtis?

[ Crying ] On the boat and in greenland… when we were in our darkest times…

[ Breathes deeply ] …And I didn’t know if we were going to make it… …I knew that curtis was fighting for me. Well, now it’s your turn to keep fighting for him. Portia. Oh, god.

[ Breathes deeply ] Where’s my son? When can we see him? They took him to the O.R. Just a little while ago. But the surgery — it — it’s going to take some time. Oh. Oh, oh. When I got

the call,I was hoping I could see him because I never got a chance to tell him how much…

[Crying] …How very much…

[ Sobbing ] He knows. He knows, aunt stella. Don’t ask me how, but he knows.

[ Breathing deeply ] Okay.

[ Sobs ] Trying a second time… it makes me think about… when I would take the boys to the pool at the park. I remember when each one of them was finally big enough to jump off the high dive. They were fearless, you know, ’cause they had never done it before. But after that first time, especially if they had belly-flopped… yeah. They knew that jumping off was a risk.

[ Chuckles ] I know that feeling. Standing up there, looking down, thinking about… everything that can go wrong… thinking about how much it might hurt. Takes a lot of courage to takethat plunge a second time. Kind of like… when you confronted your parents after all those years. That was a pretty risky thing to do, but you seemed pretty fearless to me. I guess I was. So, tell me. Are you ready to take the plunge again? Are you?

“how dare I” what? You took a shot at my ex-stepdad. I can’t say anything about your nutjob parents? I remember the sociopath you were before you lost your memory. Josslyn. What’s going on? Is there a problem? Nothing I can’t handle. Anyway, back to what really matters. How’s curtis? They’re taking him to the O.R. For surgery. Okay, so there’s a chance. There’s always a chance. Alright, good. I’m so glad she has spencer to lean on. I should go. Um, I need to go get my child and relieve the babysitter. Um, but can you please tell trina that I’m thinking good thoughts for her and her dad? What was that all about? And why is she asking me to deliver a message to trina? Because she knew I wouldn’t do it. But I think I just caught a glimpse of the real esme. It’s just so hard for me to wrap my head around. Curtis was shot by the metro court pool? It just doesn’t seem real.

[ Voice breaking ] I wish it wasn’T. And curtis is the most alive person I know. And to think… no, no, no. Don’t think it. Just sweep those negative thoughts right out of your mind. He needs us to think good thoughts now. You have to think about how much life you have yet to share with your father. My father. I wish I knew that sooner. You can’t change the past, baby. But the fact is, you know that he’s your father now, and he knows that you’re his daughter. And, honey, if there is any justice in the world, this isn’t the end of that journey, but just the start. I wish I believed that.

[ Breathes deeply ] You don’t have to be dr. Robinson right now. You’re just a part of this family.

[ Sniffles ] My family… I never knew how much that meant to me until right now.

[ Chuckles, crying ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Portia, I am so sorry. I heard about curtis. Thank you so much for coming. No, you — you don’t have to thank me. I just need to know that he’s going to be okay. You know curtis. You know that he’s not going out without a fight. Yeah. That’s exactly right. Alright, so nina might have bought it, but you can’t fool me.

[ Radio chatter ] You’re on someone’s hit list. I thought we had an unwritten rule. We do? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Oh, that rule. I mean, I’m not going to ask you for a list of people, you know, who could be targeting you, and I would, uh, want the same kind of courtesy. Yes, boss? We’re just about to leave. Can you get the car? Right away. Yeah. Thanks.

[ Radio chatter continues ] God. Is it worth it? Worth what? This life you’ve chosen. You know. The one that chose me. Because every single choice that we have ever made in our lives has brought us to this moment — this moment tonight, this situation — I mean, from different directions, yes, obviously, but we have to face the exact same violent conclusion — that we always have to watch our backs. Let me ask you a question, anna. If you could turn back the clock and start over… …would you do things differently? I’m not sure. Would you? I think tonight’s a reminder of just how precious life can be. Curtis didn’t go to the metro court thinking he was going to get shot, just like… portia never expected she was going to have to try to save his life. None of us get promised another sunset… another sunrise. All I know is if we don’t take this chance, we may never get another one. Do you really think we can? What? You and me? Make it work? I don’t know.

[ Chuckles ] All we can do is try.

I should get home to the boys. Yeah, I’m sure… violet’s probably talked the babysitter’s ear off at this point. She’ll be waiting up for me to read her a story before going to bed. Do you have any plans for tomorrow night? No. No plans. Huh. It’s funny. I-I don’t, uh… I don’t have any plans, either. Um… could I… could I take you out? We can stay in. I would love to cook you dinner. Do you like lasagna? Lasagna? I really love lasagna.

[ Laughs ] I-I mean, um… I really like it.

[ Chuckles ] But I’m sure anything you make would be amazing. Well, then, I’ll surprise you. Okay. Why haven’t they given us any news? It — it seems like a long time since they gave us an update. Yeah, mom. You work here. Can’t you pull some strings or something? I-I know curtis is in surgery, but they can tell us something, right? Like it’s going well, or it’s not going well. Why haven’t they told us anything? I know that you’re scared. We — we all are. But the most important thing for them to focus on right now — it’s the surgery. Whatever they need to do to give curtis the best possible care — that’s the priority. So the only thing that we can really do right now is — is pray… yes, yes. …A-and be patient. Okay. Uh, let me see if I can figure something out. My family has donated a great deal of money to this hospital here — this isn’t about your family or their money. You’re so right, dr. Robinson. I’m sorry. Thank you. I know that you’re just trying to help.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Trina. I just heard about curtis — or your dad. I am so incredibly sorry. Thank you. Spencer and I were in this parenting class when josslyn found us and broke the news. Spencer and I, I mean — we are both just so devastated for you. Alright, let’s go. Hey, wait. Are you sure you’re okay? As long as I’ve known you, you’re normally pretty rock solid, okay? I’ve — I’ve never seen someone get under your skin like that. Well, that’s what esme does. She finds all of your buttons, and she presses every last one of them. What are you saying? That she’s pretending to have amnesia? I don’t know. I mean, her dad is ryan chamberlain, and her mom is heather webber, so… and even before we knew that, we knew that she was a sociopath. I’m more convinced than ever that that jealous, spiteful esme is in her and just waiting to come back out. Esme, I thought that you were heading home because you were so anxious about leaving ace with a new babysitter for the first time. Yeah, I just spoke to melanie, who assured me that ace is sleeping like a rock. But I’m headed home now. Um, you guys seem preoccupied, but is there a message you want me to pass on to your little brother? No, just that I’ll be home soon and that I love him. Thanks. Okay. Sounds good. Um, and when I tuck ace in for bed tonight, I promise to say a prayer for your dad. I’m not the type of person who spends time second-guessing. But when I was washed up on that river and I ended up in nixon falls without a memory of who I was or what I did… …I created a — a — a life for myself. Cowboy mike, the bartender.

[ Laughs ] And then, um, when I got my memory back, though, I-I still had a little piece of mike inside my heart. But at the end of the day… I’m sonny corinthos. Love it or hate it… …that’s the life I chose — or it chose me. I don’t — I mean, either way… …it’s my life. And I’m okay with it. I see. I’m going to go home. I’d offer to, you know, get you a ride or… except you know better. Yeah, I do. You know what? If — if you change your mind, the offer still stands. I appreciate that. You take care. Nobody loves their life as much as curtis loves his.

[ Chuckles ] And I know that because he said those exact words. He did? Do you mind telling me what he said? Oh, of course. So, we were talking a while back, and he said that he loves running that club, loves it, especially when his family can join him at night, when you and trina go there to unwind after a long day at work and school and when his dad can be there, enjoying [Chuckling] The live music and maybe singing along. And then aunt stella joins…yeah. …When we’re lucky enough to have her in town. And he said all thiswith a big smile on his face. Oh. Amen to that. Yeah. That’s a — that’s a beautiful sentiment, nina. I’m still kicking myself. All them years. All them years I wasted, staying away. I wish I had my aunt stella’s faith. Well, you might not havethe same faith in god that she does, but you can, at the very least, trust that I’m not going anywhere.

[ Breathes sharply ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, hey. This is Tripp, is, uh, is Wendy here?

No.

Oh. Uh, well, do you, uh, do you know where she is?

Yeah. She’s out at the station visiting her brother

June one.

So happy to see you. Don’t, don’t what? Don’t pretend everything is normal, like you didn’t brainwash someone late, which is crazy enough on its own. You brainwashed them to take out your romantic rival, Jim Wayne, you don’t understand. Of course, I understand you didn’t want me to attend Stephanie and Gabby’s engagement party.

Remember? You tried to stop me cause you ordered Harris Michaels to crash the party and commit murder.

3, 2, 1. Open your eyes.

How do you feel? I’m just frustrated. We’ve been working at this for hours. Doesn’t seem like we’re making any progress. Well, I, I know this kind of, the programming takes time. You’ve gotta be patient with the process and with yourself. Maybe hypnotherapy isn’t working for me

objectively. I know it’s wrong. But I still have this overwhelming urge to kill Stephan Damara.

So is Stephan on his way? I haven’t told him what happened yet. Well, he doesn’t know that you were attacked. It’s just a few scratches, but I’m sorry, I, I can’t believe that Dr. Wolf jumped me. You know what? Next time that bastard’s not gonna be, so No, no, no, no, no. Next time. Do you hear me? No. Okay. And since, uh, that old bastard and Megan are still out there, maybe you ought stay with me at least till we catch ’em.

No. Okay. That it. Thank you. But don’t underestimate me big bro. Okay? I can handle this. Plus I just wanna relax. I wanna be home in the arms of my loving fiance. God, what the hell is wrong with you?

Where the hell is Rafe? He’s at the hospital checking on his sister. Then who is in charge down here? Uh, well that would be me, obviously. Is there a problem? Yes. Ms. Trask? Yes. Can you tell me why the divers are packing their gear up? Uh, maybe because they’ve searched every inch of the river and there’s no sign of mega deira or will hem wolf.

They’re clearly gone. So I’m calling it to search. You can’t do that? Uh, actually I can, and I just did. Detective Brady, do I smell alcohol on your breath,

like sand through the hourglass? So are the days of our lives.

Alcohol. Like why would I have alcohol in my breath? I’m on duty that you are detective.

What is this? But that, um, I don’t, it just, um, like I, I dunno, you see this makeshift memorial right here? People have been dropping all sorts of things off from Mayor Carvers. So, uh, I maybe they pour one his on or right. So if I take this down to the station and have it dusted for print, the results won’t come back.

Reading for a certain Sean Douglas Brady, uh, Be my guest. If you want to waste apartment’s, time and money, that’s on you. But I’m not gonna find my prints on that then I guess we’re gonna have to wait and see.

You know, Wendy was, uh, just pretty upset with her brother last night. How was she today? Still in shock. I wish there was something I could do for her. You know, I think you’ve done quite enough.

What’s that supposed to mean? What the hell were you thinking Johnny dragging? When did your family’s party, I mean, thanks to you, she could have been killed,

Jing. One. I would never put you in danger, but you did, Lee. You let me walk into a situation that could have gone very wrong. People could have died, including me as I told Gabby and Stephan. I believe Megan, setting me up. Just stop. Stop. Okay. I know it was you, Harris Michaels said so himself. And do you know how horrified I was when I heard that I was trying to defend you, but my godly Your actions are indefensible.

No. No. You’ve got it wrong. You know, when you decided not to fight Gabby on the divorce, I felt so proud of you because I thought you were finally taking the high road, you know, trying to make up for all your past mistakes, be a better person. But obviously that was all an act, and now instead of pride, I feel shame.

I’m ashamed that you’re my brother.

I’ve been in this situation before, thanks to Megan the last time the i s a used e c t to deprogram me and it works. So why don’t we just try that again.

I don’t think we need anything that risky. I think that we can try something else. Have another resort. Because your, your programming wasn’t as ingrained as it was before, but what does it feel like? That it has a vice grip on me. I understand. We’ll try something else. Please just get the electrodes and zap the hell out of me.

Nobody’s getting zapped on my watch.

Okay. Then what?

Something new and you’re going to have to trust me.

We are using hypnosis. To go back to the moment when you returned,

I want you to remember back to the moment when you were kidnapped. Can you do that? Mm-hmm.

Tell me, tell me where you are.

I’m, I’m in a lab.

Okay. Look around. Tell me what you see.

I’m strapped down to a gurney. I’m trying to get free, but I can’t. I feel groggy. Just everything’s blurry and off. I must have been drugged. Is there anyone in the room with you?

No, but I hear voices, muffled voices. What are they saying? I can’t, I can’t make it out. I think they’re out in the hall. Wait, someone’s coming. Who is it? It’s Lee Lee. Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there, you will find Stephan Demara and eliminate him.

Commander, you will stop at nothing to fulfill your mission.

You lied to my face. You said you were not gonna confront Megan, that you were going straight home, and now I find you here. Well, technically I didn’t use those exact words. I only led you to believe that I was listening to your advice. Do not get cute with me right now. Now is not the time. Had you listened to me, you would be home safe and sound.

And instead you got attacked by Rolph and handcuffed to Megan’s bed. I don’t even know why I bother with you anymore. Okay, Stefan, you’re upset right now and I get it. And I agree with you because what Gabby did was reckless and dumb. Excuse me. But the important thing is she’s all right. Yes, she is. She’s also standing right here.

Yep. Trying to help you. Gabby, after you jumped Michael’s, I saving your life. Let me finish. After you dropped Michael’s, you promised me you were gonna take these risks and more. You could have gotten yourself killed. How do you not see that? You know what? I’m you. I’m not gonna sit here and get scolded like a little girl who didn’t eat her vegetables.

I’m going home Good. Unless that’s another one of your lies. And I’m gonna get a phone call later that I don’t know. You went to question Hannibal Lecter and ya ended up in the bottom of a freaking well. Oh yeah. Well, the woman who spoke to Lecter and went after the killer, she’s a hero of this story. She saved the day and rescued that woman from the.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Does that mean what I think it means? You don’t wanna know.

Don’t you think? You’re being a little harsh. Mui moi. What happened to family loyalty? Family loyalty. Lee, you’ve lied to my face. You told me you were moving on. You even said you hired a matchmaker and then you attempted murder.

Wait a minute. That day I overheard part of your phone call. You said something about a big plan.

When I asked you about it, you claimed you were talking to a matchmaker, but you weren’t. You were talking about planning to kill stuff. It, look at me. Look at me.

What is wrong with you? When did you become so unhinged, so venal that you would go to such extremes to get what you want? Why couldn’t you just let Gabby go? Who are you to lecture me about letting go? You’ve been stringing along two poor stops for months.

Okay, back up. First of all. I didn’t drag Wendy along to that party. She was happy to come along with me. And second of all, how was I supposed to know that her crazy brother was planning to assassinate my Uncle Stephan? Please, you know damn well that putting someone in a room full of de mayors is like dropping them in a shark tank at feeding time.

Are you even listening to me? Wendy’s brother Lee Shin hired a hitman to kill my uncle. Stephan Demara, you know, the victim and all this. Selma doesn’t keep up with current affairs. What are you talking about? Your aunt Megan Demara was also apparently involved and now she’s on the lamb.

Maybe it’s slipped your mind, Misra, but we have more pressing matters to attend to, such as Megan Demara being on the loose, and yet you. You’re more concerned about, uh, a stupid empty liquor bottle. Yes, I am a hundred percent concerned detective. So maybe I’ll just take this out to the police lab and find out if it’s really yours.

Stop.

Fine. It’s mine. Are you happy now? No, I’m not happy. Why the hell would I be happy about a police officer drinking on the job? Actually, I’m a detective and currently right now I’m doing nothing. I’m just standing around waiting for the divers to report back. It’s not. It’s not like I’m in some high speed pursuit.

It’s not a big deal. Of course, it’s a big deal. You are an on duty cop. You are carrying a gun. You can’t have your judgment impaired. Does it look like my judgment is impaired? Yeah, actually it does. Why else would you prematurely call off a search for a a dangerous psychopath and her evil sidekick? Hey.

Nobody wants to find Megan more than I do. Okay? Nobody. But look around. She’s gone. And even if I, whatever, if I’ve had a few, it’s not like I can’t spot a submarine. I mean, for all we know, she’s sailed off into the land of blue meanies. You know what? Maybe you’re right. Maybe it doesn’t make a difference whether or not you’re drinking on the job.

Matter of fact, maybe you should have started knocking them back sooner. Maybe if you had a few, you would’ve been so quick on the draw when you shot your own father. Don’t

go to hell.

I want you to listen to my voice and accept what I’m telling you.

Lee Hin was the one who wanted you to kill Stephan. He put that idea in your mind and you did not want to do it.

Just keep saying it over and over. And over. It’s getting to me. It’s getting into my head. I understand. You have to ignore that. Don’t listen to it. Don’t listen. Can you do that?

Okay. Okay. Okay, good. Let’s go over this one more time. But this time you’re an observer, not a participant.

Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there you will find Stephan Deira would eliminate him. Commander, you must stop at nothing to fulfill your mission. Furthermore, you will believe it was who gave you the orders? Not me. If anyone should ask why you want to kill Stephan?

You are to blame Lee Hin.

It wasn’t Lee,

Dr. Wolf and Megan did this. They framed him.

You compare. My being indecisive with what you’ve done. Oh my God, Lee, do you do, do you even realize how insane that is? You have to judge me for being conflicted about not being able to choose between two guys for you to judge me for anything. I was only trying to point out that most of us are somewhat irrational when it comes to matters of the heart.

Yeah. Irrational doesn’t even begin to explain your behaviorally. And as for whom I choose to be with, I am not stringing anyone along. Okay. I, I am trying to figure out responsibly who is better suited for me. I am in the rare position of having two great guys wanting to be with me, and yes, it is flattering.

It’s so confusing. And difficult,

but I will make my choice at some point. And unlike you, I won’t be committing any crimes along the way. I didn’t commit a crime, Wendy. I told you that I was set up. Why the hell won’t you believe me? I dunno what to believe about you anymore, Lee. Well believe this.

I care deeply about you, J one, I think the world of you, and I only want you to find happiness, so will you at least allow me to offer my. Further Lee perspective.

Sure. Knock yourself out. Okay. I think you do know, maybe not consciously, but on some level, which one of those young men you are more drawn to, which one of them will give you what you need,

but because of your big heart. You’re reluctant to hurt the one that you’ll eventually have to reject, and that’s why you’re vacillating. Am I right?

I’ll take your silence as confirmation, and so I advise you, my precious sister not to procrastinate any longer. Take the stress off yourself. And relieve those young men of their uncertainty, their need to compete for your affection. Make that choice.

Wow. Yeah. I knew my aunt had locked my dad and Aunt Kristen in the basement, but I didn’t know she was trying to have my uncle’s stuff and killed. Yeah, just more proof that your family’s dangerous. So if you really care about Wendy, you’ll keep her away from them being awfully judgmental. Don’t you think I have a good reason to be judgmental?

I mean, I’m a victim of your crazy family too. Remember? That had me kidnapped. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. I do remember. I remember because it was right after your crazy mother kidnapped my grandma Susan, who is now dead because of your mother. So, I don’t think you get to criticize my family when yours is just as messed up.

My mom has a mental illness. Yeah, I heard about that. I bet she’s faking it. Just like she’s faked everything else. You best watch your mouth hear me. You’re the one who started this taking shots at my family, but I don’t think that’s what it’s really about. Your anger. See, I think it’s about Wendy and I think that you’re afraid.

That you’re gonna lose her to me.

Coast Guard’s gonna be keeping an eye out from Megan’s submarine. I’ve already alerted Isa. They’re gonna be checking international waters. Hopefully we catch a break. Thanks for the update, commissioner. No problem. Anything else? I’ll be in my office. Actually, there is one more thing. You need a fire Detective Brady over there for drinking on the job.

Look, first I gotta say that I’m getting really, really frustrated and kind of embarrassed in this little ridiculous competition we have between us. And although a part of me would just prefer just back out all together and just tell Wendy that I am done humiliating myself to try to prove that I’m more worthy of her devotion than you are for another part of me knows that’s do.

That would be to give up on her,

huh? I feel the same way actually. Okay, then okay, then let’s just. Stop with the, oh, I’m better for Wendy than you are. I’m, I’m closer to her than you are. I spend more time with her than you do. It’s just all juvenile and petty, don’t you think? I do think. All right, so given that we both don’t want to be petty or juvenile about this anymore, I say we both just do our best to be mature.

And dignified through all of this. Stop trying to prove who, who’s gonna make Wendy the happiest or who’s the better person. Just be ourselves. Let Wendy make up her own mind. I’m all for that. Me too. Let’s hope Blake like hell. You chooses me. You, you couldn’t give mature and dignified much of a shot.

Could you? Come on, man. I’m kidding. I’m, but really, I, I think the best thing we can do is just give Wendy her space and be patient. Yeah. Patient. Patient. You know, I’m trying to be patient with you, Lee, allowing you to weigh in. About my left life when it is totally irrelevant to why I’m here right now. And as I’ve said before, there is no comparing my indecisiveness to you committing a felony brainwashing someone to have someone else killed.

Why do you continue to accuse me when I never admitted that I did either? But clearly you want the moral eye ground and I will happily conceded to you.

You know, instead of being glib, maybe you should start figuring out a way that you’re gonna get out of this mess you’ve made for yourself. And if by some miracle you do find a way out, maybe consider this a wake up call. Because it would be a shame to throw your entire life away over a woman who has made it abundantly clear.

She doesn’t want you

top three. And he confirmed Pento means exactly what I thought it meant. I am not an ungrateful ass, coulda fool me, really? So I’m the bad guy here for caring about you, for worrying about your safety. Huh? For getting upset that you deliberately put yourself in harm’s way for no good reason. I had a good reason Steph and Megan has to pace.

She tried to kill you, and in turn you almost got yourself killed. Well, I’m still here. One piece. Why? Why are you being so stubborn about this? Why are you being so angry about this? Because you scared the hell outta me. Do you have any idea how freaked out I was when I heard what happened to you? I’m fine, but you almost weren’t.

It could have been so much worse

if Megan really was the one who wanted me dead, she would’ve had no problem knocking you off too,

and I never would’ve forgiven myself.

You are my entire world. Get me. You’re fine too.

Why are we fighting? Because we’re good at it, but we’re good at other things too.

I mean, it, it’s, it’s all coming back to me. Lee Chen didn’t order me to kill Stephan was Dr. Wolf. I, I, I’m pretty sure I didn’t even see Lee in the lab, but Wolf wanted me to think so. So I would blame Lee,

now that you remembered all that. When you see Stephan Damara, how do you feel?

Hi.

I, I don’t, I don’t feel anything

and those thoughts of wanting or needing

to kill him are gone.

Dr. Evans, I think you did it.

Well, it must be some sort of mistake. I have worked with Detective Brady for a long time, and there’s no way that he would ever drink on the job. Down at the docks, I smelled alcohol on his breath. At first, he tried to deny that he was inebriated, but when pressed, he admitted it. Is this true? Shawn?

I think that we, uh, we should discuss this in private commissioner, what is there to discuss? Detective, you drank on the job endangering the public commissioner. This man should be fired immediately. Yeah. To ask, this is my department and I suggest you focus on your own. Oh, I would much prefer to do that, but.

I can’t prosecute criminals if you can’t catch them. Mm-hmm. Maybe it would help if you didn’t have a bunch of drunks and losers on the payroll. Oh, well, as I recall, we actually have a suspect in there right as we speak. So maybe instead of worrying about my job, you should focus on yours and prosecute Lee Chen.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to take this. Hi, Marlena. Yeah, well, how’s it going with Michaels? What? Well, that’s great news.

Hey. Sorry, I yelled. I’m sorry too that I lied. Made you worry. I guess I just felt like I needed to take control of the situation. You. Take control of a situation. No, it’s, it’s so outta character. Stop. I’m being serious. Ever since Michael just showed to our party, I stopped thinking about how I could lose you again.

You don’t know what that’s like, lose here thinking that you’ve been gone forever. You’re right. I, I get it. I guess I’m the lucky one, huh? I didn’t have to live without you. Hard to have your heart broken when you’re in a coma, huh? Yeah, but easy to have it ripped outta your chest, literally. Hmm, true. Good point.

But hey, you didn’t have to suffer the way you did.

I mean, it was so stupid leaving your side that night to help my mother escape. That was such a bad decision. Obviously, and I suppose that tonight I made a similarly bad decision, one that could have torn us apart again. Okay, so how about we make a pact from here on out? We work as a team. After all. We are getting married in what, two weeks?

You’re right. No, you’re right. And then we’re going rogue. So we work together. We have a deal. Deal.

So you believe that leash Chen is innocent? I like if he was involved. I have no way of proving it. I, I never saw him. Mm-hmm. But what I do know is Dr. Rolfe implanted the idea that Lee was behind everything.

Okay. Well if you think of anything else, please let me know. I will brave. Now that he has been successfully deprogrammed, is it all right for him to go? You’re absolutely sure that he’s no longer a threat to Stephan or to anyone else. I will verify that myself and, uh, I’ll also testify in court that he was not responsible for what he did, and I can even submit a, an official report if that’s what you would like, I would.

Thank you. Does that mean I’m stuck here In the meantime?

Well, if Dr. Evans says that you are fine, then um, I’m not gonna argue with her. Listen, not. I wanna be keeping a close eye on you. And if for any reason that I deem you are a threat to anyone in Salem, I’m gonna slap these things right back on you. Understood. Yes, sir. Okay.

I have nothing to say to you. Not without my lawyer present. You don’t have to say a word just. Listen, Harris Michaels is changing his story. He, um, is walking back his accusation that you were the one who. Sent him to murder. Stephan Damara. Hmm. Told you I was innocent. Well, I’m not so sure about that, but lucky for you.

The only other people that can confirm or deny this new revelation have fled Salem in a submarine.

Does this mean that? I’m free to go.

So if you, uh, don’t mind. I’m gonna hang around for a little bit. Wait for Wendy to come home. What happened to give her space? Oh, you’re not doing that because I happened to live here, which is an unfair advantage, as you well know. And, and what happened to, you know, being mature about all this? Okay. Being mature doesn’t mean I’m willing to have you barging in here whenever you want to.

Putting your feet up on our coffee table.

Better.

Look, this is my apartment. I share it with Wendy. If you wanna hang out with her, you do it on your own territory or at least neutral territory. Fine. I’ll leave, you know, you know what I’ll do is I’ll, um, I’ll just call Wendy, invite her over to my mansion, uh, where our private chef is cooking up a delicious dinner tonight.

We’ll have a nice evening. Wow. Are you really going to start out how freaking wealthy your family is? Do you really think Wendy give the damn that you live in a mansion or that you have a live-in cook? I don’t think she minds it. Maybe she doesn’t mind it, but she also doesn’t give a rat’s ass, and she’s not a shallow jerk like you are.

You know, she cares about things that matter, like character intelligence. Oh, okay. So, so what you’re saying now is that, that you’re smarter than me, that you have more character. Well, guess what that is cool. Just, just go, man, disco. All right. Like I, I, I really thought that we could get past this whole teddy craft, but clearly I was wrong.

So just, just leave. Nah, I think I’ll stay. Hell, you will get outta my car. I can do that. Wait, Wendy, like that man. What, what is going on here? Uh, Wendy. Hello? I just was, uh, coming by to see how you were doing. Yep. And clearly she’s fine. So we’ll be seeing you, Johnny. Mm-hmm. Although, actually before you got here, uh, Johnny and I decided to be mature about this and not.

Petty and obnoxious and juvenile, but clearly he’s incapable and I don’t blame him.

Actually, I, uh, don’t blame neither of you for hating this. I stringing you both along, so it’s time to put an end to it.

Dr. Evans, thank you. I’m in your debt. Not at all. I am glad I could help though. And after everything you’ve done for me, I. I hate to ask for another favor. Oh, all right. What is it? I want you to have me committed to Bayview.

Thank you for letting me know. Yeah. Talk soon. My brother, apparently Michaels had a breakthrough and remembers that he wasn’t. Taking orders from Lee that, that this was a lie that Dr. Wolf implanted in his head. So EJ and Kristen were remembering accurately. They were telling the truth that Megan set Lee up.

Maybe I just can’t help shake the feeling that Lee’s and involved somehow, Wendy said Lee freaked out when she said she was coming to our party. He had to have known something. And if Lee ends up going free, he’ll definitely come after you again. I can’t let that. I mean, we can’t let that happen. That’s right.

We’re a team now.

No match for us.

So as a verdict, I spoke with Commissioner Hernandez and he confirmed that Harris Michaels can’t place you at the lab that he was being held, and he clearly remembers Dr. Rolf. Instructing him to put the blame on you. So you have nothing on me. You have to let me go for now, but I wouldn’t get too comfortable Mr.

Shin. So I’ll have my eye on you cuz I don’t like people that get away with crimes. Didn’t you decline to press charges against Talia Hunter when she poisoned half the town, including you? That young woman was in an emotionally abusive relationship. You know what my decisions are of no concern of yours.

Some might say I was in a emotionally abusive relationship with Gabby Hernandez. You really are an arrogant son of a bitch. An arrogant son of a bitch who’s free to walk outta here. Correct? Right after you get someone to uncuff me. This is the second time you’re slipping through my fingers, Mr. Shin, and I promise you next time you won’t be so lucky.

Hey, man. Um, thanks for having my back with Trask. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, I don’t take my orders from Trask. But I can’t ignore the fact that you have been drinking on the job. I, I promise it’s never gonna happen again. Oh, it’s just a one time thing, right? Except that it wasn’t right. What do you mean, Shawn? Come on.

Trust isn’t the only one who has noticed that you have been off your game. You’ve been late to work, your work’s been sloppy, you’ve been distracted. I mean, look, I’m trying to cut you some slack cause I know you were upset about your father. But I can’t look the other way anymore. Not anymore. What are you saying?

I think you need to take some time to get your act together. So until further notice, you are suspended from the force.

Johnny Trip. Look, I like you both a lot, but hitting you guys at the same time, it isn’t fair to anybody.

So it’s time for me to finally make a choice.

You mean like right now? I think it’s for the best.

Okay. Uh, Well then who is it gonna be? Is it gonna be me or…?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Wyatt: Hope is your wife. She loves you. You have a beautiful daughter together. Just don’t take that for granted.

Liam: I’m not.

Wyatt: Okay. Hope hurt you. All right? But don’t let that cloud what’s really important here. Your family, your life with hope. Like– I– I– I know you still love her.

Liam: Yes, of course I still love her.

Wyatt: So then go to her. Start with, “I love you.” And end with, “I forgive you.” Just trust me, bro. You’re gonna regret it if you don’T.

Sheila: You know, I’m not sure how much time we have here together, but I just– thank you for coming to see me. I mean, really, I– it means so much that you came to visit. I– I– I try to keep my head up around here. But I am lonely. And it’s just nice to know that someone is thinking about me, that I really haven’t been forgotten.

Deacon: Well, like the song goes, honey, “you are unforgettable.”

Sheila: I’m just glad that I’m being remembered for the right reasons. Someone who doesn’t think that I’m hateful. You know, someone that actually has good memories of me. Oh, I miss you. I miss you a lot.

Deacon: So he’s already spilled wine all over his shirt, right? Then goes in for the tiramisu with the fork, almost puts his eye out. Finally, finally, he gets the nerve to propose. You know, he gets down on one knee, completely takes out the table next to him. I’m like, “this poor guy.”

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: We all know that proposals can be dangerous to your health, right? Oh, too soon?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Just tell me, did she say yes?

Deacon: Yeah. Thank god she did. I mean, I can’t even imagine the carnage had she said no.

Sheila: Then, that proves it. You see, there is definitely somebody out there for everyone.

Deacon: And I think people, sometimes they just get each other. You know, panic induced flaws and all.

Sheila: I am so happy for you. Really. I– I know that I am stuck in this hellhole, but I– I am so happy to see that you’re thriving. I mean, no one deserves to be happy more than you. I just wish I were there to share it with you.

Wyatt: Look, I know this stings, but we’ve all made mistakes. I mean, come on. Hope’s forgiven you for a few over the years.

Liam: Wyatt, this is not like, oops. It’s thomas, okay? It’s thomas. And she let him put his hands all– no, it’s worse than that. She had her hands all over him.

Wyatt: Okay. You know what? Listen to me. Listen to me here, okay?

Liam: I’m listening.

Wyatt: You’ve got to let that go. Hope loves you. And deep down I know– I know you don’t want this to end.

Liam: Rj.

Rj: Hey.

Liam: What are you– how are you here?

Rj: Listen, listen. I just came from talking with hope about the whole situation with thomas and she’s devastated. I know I’m just her younger brother, but hear me out. You gotta take her back.

[ Thomas and hope panting ]

Hope: Um, I have to admit that I have thought about this moment probably more than I should. Yeah.

Thomas: [ Laughing ] Yeah?

Hope: [ Laughing ] Yeah. What it would be like for you to touch me. To hold me. And I have to say, my imagination, um… wasn’t even close to the real thing. Where are you going?

Deacon: I know that you said that this place has taken a toll on you, but I gotta tell you, all things considered, you look pretty damn good. I mean in a, you know, female prison movie kinda way hot.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, they’re gonna come in here any second now and tell us that our time is up. But I really don’t wanna talk about this place, okay? Because it really– it sucks. It really sucks that I’m stuck in here.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Don’t be. You– you have no idea what it means to me that you came to see me here today. Really, that there’s still somebody out there that… that cares about me.

Deacon: I will always care about you. Against all reason and my better judgment.

Sheila: [ Laughing ] Come on. You know, I’m fun to hang around. Never a dull moment.

Deacon: You are a regular carnival ride.

Sheila: Who knows, right? Could have happened if I just hadn’t messed up.

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Rj: Listen, I’m not excusing what hope did, all right? I know the whole history with thomas and everything he’s done to your family. I can’t even imagine the hurt of seeing her kissing thomas in front of the colosseum.

Liam: Yeah, rj, I’m not getting that outta my head anytime soon.

Rj: Look, I know, it’s gonna take time, all right? Hope knows that. But look, she’s willing to do anything to fix this, liam. Come on. You gotta fight for your marriage, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: He’s right. At least try.

Rj: She loves you. Obviously, she really– she loves you. Just you. And despite all of this, I think that you still love her. I mean, you guys have been through so much worse than this and you got through it. And you got through it because you went through it together.

Wyatt: And you can go through this together too.

Rj: Liam, if you leave her right now, it would destroy her. Don’t walk away over one mistake.

Hope: It was amazing. You are amazing.

[ Hope chuckling ] This is so not like me. Oh, my gosh, thomas. You know, when I first started having feelings for you, it’s just terrified me. And not because of how you’re probably thinking. It’s more because I just didn’t understand it. And so I blamed work, blamed stress, I– I blamed my mom and her history and… her past mistakes and relationships.

Thomas: Do you feel like you’re making a mistake?

Hope: I hate that I hurt liam. And I hate that I hurt my family. I hate that. But how can this be a mistake when what we shared feels so right? I mean, it’s like how when we design and when we create together and you just are able to finish my sentences. It’s like you know what I’m thinking before I even do. You know what I want before I even know that I need it.

Thomas: I just drew thinking about you, your– your boldness, your drama, your sexiness. All of it I just… it was all just you. Every piece.

Hope: Something so beautiful, it just… it can’t be wrong. This has to be right. Febreze!

Deacon: I will always care about you, but–

Sheila: But nobody can know.

Deacon: I– I’m sorry.

Sheila: I’m not. I am not sorry for the time that we shared. I promise you, I would never mess anything up for you. Although, probably never happen being stuck in this hellhole, most likely for the rest of my life. It’s just, I– I can’t help but wonder what might have been… if we’d met earlier, or in another life maybe. I just really wish I could have your arms around me again.

Rj: I get it, all right? I sympathize with you. I understand what the stakes are here.

Liam: Have you ever been betrayed by the one person you’re supposed to be able to trust?

Rj: I don’t– I don’t know. Okay? I’m not telling you how to feel right now. I’m just saying you’re– you’re in a fight, okay? And you’ve been knocked down and that doesn’t mean that you should just give up. That– that is when you get up and you start fighting. Especially when you’ve got something worth fighting for, man.

Wyatt: Exactly. I like this guy.

Rj: Listen, hope has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, except for you. If anyone, anybody is capable of forgiving her, it’s you, liam.

Wyatt: He’s not wrong. I mean, if nothing else, you owe it to yourself to give your marriage another chance.

Rj: You gotta fight for it. Fight for your marriage. Liam, you need to fight for your kids. I– I guarantee you that if you just stop right now and just tune all of this out and just listen to your heart, it’s gonna lead you back to hope every single time.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: I can’t stop thinking about how you’re such a good person. You are. But I– I feel like I’m still kind of the bad guy.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Stop. Thomas, you’re not fooling me. Okay? I know who you are. And that’s not you anymore. You’re loving and you’re devoted and you are honest. You know, when it came to relationships, up until now, I’ve always been so afraid to act on impulse. Scared to, you know, I don’t know, chase after something forbidden. I mean, look at my dad. That’s a perfect example. I could think of a few others, but this…

Thomas: Yeah, sometimes you just– you can’t see what’s standing right in front of you.

Hope: Well, I see you and you’re not what people think. I mean, strong-willed and opinionated, sure, yes, but you are also… gentle, intuitive, creative. I mean, you couldn’t design the way you do if you weren’t all those things and more.

Thomas: I– you have no idea what that means to me.

Hope: Well, I see something else there too. You’re faithful. You’ve said that from the beginning.

Thomas: It’s true.

Hope: And you have no idea how much that means to me. More than you will ever know. (Michael) copd is harder on the folks around you, I think.

Wyatt: You’re a good brother, rj.

Rj: Hope’s always looked out for me. I’m just returning the favor.

Wyatt: You can do this, liam. You know you want to and don’t even try and deny it. And I know it’s gonna be hard. Of course, it’s gonna be hard. For both you and hope, it’s gonna be a lot of work, but she’s worth it. You know she is.

Rj: You mean everything to my sister, man. I think you should give her another shot, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: Or at least try. I’m telling you, man, you’re gonna regret it if you don’T. Rj is right. Go to hope now before it’s too late.

Hope: I feel like I can tell you anything and you won’t judge me.

Thomas: You didn’t think you could do that with liam? Sorry, I don’t have to bring him up if you don’t want me to.

Hope: Well, I mean, if it wasn’t for liam, we wouldn’t be in this situation right now, probably, right? If he didn’t end the marriage so abruptly and go running to your sister. Ooh. Sorry. Yeah. I probably shouldn’t talk about that right now when we’re like this.

Thomas: Oh, I– I– I did it first. It’s all right.

Hope: Look, thomas, this is what I will say about that. You know my relationship with liam is complicated. And being with someone whose feelings are divided between two women that just– I know he loves me. And I know he loves my family, but I also know he loves steffy. And that’s just always been in the background. It’s always taken up space in our relationship, but I mean, hell, even he’s given into temptation a time or two, right? And I’ve forgiven it, but… I haven’t forgotten. And maybe it’s just been too many times over too many years and I just found myself wondering… what it would be like to be with someone where I came first. Where I was the only one. And when I’m with you, thomas, you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. When you look at me like that, you make me feel… I don’t know, desired, respected… loved.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Hello, stranger.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: No, no, no. Right over here.

Ashley: I heard you the first time.

Tucker: So you’re ignoring me.

Ashley: Kind of. I’m trying to get together a list for the recruiter so that when you actually meet with them, you’ll have something to–

Tucker: Yeah. I’m trying to capture the perfect image of you. Look over here.

Ashley: I’m right here. Have at it.

Tucker: Give me something. Oh. Yeah, that’s hot.

Ashley: Great.

Tucker: Come on. Come on.

Ashley: Stop it! You’re the worst.

Tucker: Yeah. And the best thing that ever happened to you.

Ashley: No. Vice versa.

Tucker: All right. We’ll call it a draw. There it is.

Ashley: All right. Let’s call it a draw.

Diane: Ugh! Oh, for the love of god, get a room.

Ashley: Ah.

Daniel: Jack.

Jack: Daniel, how are you?

Daniel: Suddenly feeling optimistic, thank you.

Jack: I’m not sure what I did, but you’re welcome.

Daniel: You’re talking to me after everything my mother did to disrupt your family, so I’ll count that as a blessing.

Jack: You are not responsible for your mother’s actions. And I got enough good things going on in my life. I am not gonna waste my time worrying about what phyllis is up to.

Daniel: I suppose if you fake your murder, you have to deal with the fallout.

Jack: But she stays away and she’s not doing that, right?

Daniel: [ Chuckling ] And the longer she stays away, the worse she’s making things.

Jack: I know this has been very difficult on summer. You are keeping an eye on your sister, aren’t you?

Daniel: You know how she is.

Jack: Oh, she loves to battle. Tells you she has it, and often she does.

Daniel: Sometimes she needs help.

Jack: I feel a whole lot better knowing you’re there when necessary.

Daniel: Doing my best.

Jack: You’re a good man, daniel.

Daniel: I had first-rate role models.

Jack: So other than this ongoing issue, your life is good? Daniel? I’ll take that as a yes.

Daniel: Hm?

Billy: No, I agree with you. It goes without question that ashley should have notified the board of her decision to leave the company before it was leaked to the press. I have not talked to her yet, but I’m sure I’ll learn more in the next few days and I will, uh, I’ll keep you in the loop, okay? All right. Thank you. And just like that. See, that’s what happens when the press and the board members have your cell phone number.

Summer: Oh, I guess you’re gonna have to change it then. Wish every problem had such an easy solution. Hey, could I bounce some ideas off of you?

Billy: All due respect, summer, I’m up to here with ashley’s departure from the company. So whatever it is, if you– if you don’t mind,

Summer: Wait. Seriously, you can’t deal with more than one problem at a time? Billy, do you want an overview of what I’m dealing with right now? I– I think you can spare me five minutes.

Billy: Okay. Sure. What is it?

Summer: Marchetti.

Billy: Kyle’s out. You’re now taking over the ceo chair and you need a new creative director.

Summer: What did chelsea say after I offered her the job?

Billy: I don’t think she’s ready for that step yet.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Any other suggestions?

Billy: What about italy? Is there anybody there that you trust that has similar sensibilities?

Summer: No. Nobody that I would trust in this position.

Billy: Okay. Well, maybe you need to go back there, where it all began. Try and find the right person.

Summer: That’s not a real suggestion. That’s an evasion. Wow, you really must not have time for me.

Billy: Summer, you gotta be kidding, right?

Summer: No. I mean, kyle wants me gone. Maybe you’re doing the whole united front thing and freezing me out. Why not? It’s not like I’m family anymore. Febreze!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: I didn’t know you were gonna be here. Hello.

Daniel: Esther told me where I could find you.

Lily: Oh, are you stalking me? Is this ’cause of the video conference about the gaming division that I had?

Jack: Judging from the smile on her face, I think you’re about to get some good news.

Daniel: That is not why I wanted to find you. I have my own selfish reasons.

Lily: Okay.

Jack: Okay. I’ll bite. How’s the gaming division?

Lily: [ Laughing ] I think we should order some champagne.

Daniel: Are we celebrating?

Lily: It is official. Omegasphere has caught fire in south america.

Jack: Wow.

Lily: Yep.

Daniel: Okay. Well that– that is great news.

Lily: Yeah.

Jack: That’s fantastic. Hey, congratulations all ’round. Uh, how’s that feel?

Daniel: Um, I don’t know. I’ll– I’ll let you know when I land. This is incredible.

Lily: I know. I mean, I knew it was gonna happen, right? It takes one person to love it. They spread the word and it spreads like wildfire.

Jack: Well, you two clearly have a lot to celebrate. I’ll leave you to it. I wish you the best.

Daniel: Thank you.

Lily: All right. Bye, jack. Well, I’m very happy that current events haven’t damaged your relationship with jack.

Daniel: I suppose he’ll always have a place in his heart for me as his stepson.

Lily: That’s nice. It’s good to have people like that in your life.

Daniel: It is. It is. And, you know, when you find those people, you should let them know how much they mean to you.

Lily: Are– are you talking to me? Have I let something go unsaid?

Daniel: I have.

Ashley: What are you doing here, diane?

Tucker: Yeah, diane. What are you doing here? Don’t you have a job?

Ashley: Yeah. Shouldn’t you be at jabot exploiting your position and the title that you definitely don’t deserve as you slowly grind away at my father’s company?

Tucker: Ooh, I love it when you use the word grind.

Diane: Ugh! You two are ridiculous.

Ashley: What?

Diane: You know what? And I am sick of your accusations about me and my intentions and my position at jabot. Everything I have, I’ve deserved.

Ashley: [ Chuckling ] Right.

Diane: You know what, ashley? You just hate me because you can’t admit to yourself that you still hate him.

Tucker: Yeah, ashley.

Ashley: She’s right. I hate you. I hate you so much.

Tucker: I hate you too.

Michael: Is this what people on the run do for thrills these days? Hide in plain sight?

Phyllis: Well, I was going stir crazy. Um, I needed a little fresh air and sunshine.

Michael: Oh, you know who else likes fresh air and sunshine in this park? Christine, the da who’s dying to drag you into court and see you wither way behind bars.

Phyllis: Christine. Listen, I can see christine a mile away.

Michael: Well, the police officers are looking for you too. So, if your freedom’s worth anything, stay hidden until you come to your senses.

Phyllis: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. All of this hiding in the shadows and sneaking around, it taught me something. I know where I belong.

Michael: Look at me.

[ Michael grunting ] I’ve seen that look in your eyes before. It’s never good.

Phyllis: Daniel texted me. He said that summer and kyle broke up because of my beef with diane.

Michael: I’m sorry to hear that.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s the man of her dreams. All ruined because of diane’s resurrection. But you know what? It’s time for restorative justice.

Michael: What does that mean exactly?

Phyllis: That means I can’t do anything and fix anything hiding under a rock.

Billy: Look, I’m not gonna pretend to know what’s gonna happen between you and my nephew, okay? But even if we’re not family–

Summer: What? We’ll always be friends?

Billy: I was gonna say business partners, but sure, friends works here too. Look, yeah, I told you to go back to italy, but I don’t want you to leave. I’m not trying to banish you.

Summer: Could I get that in writing?

Billy: Get it notarized. Summer, you need to surround yourself with the people who know you best, okay? Before all this mess with phyllis screwed with your confidence. Everyone back in italy that didn’t make the jump that you did, they’re still talking about you. They’re raising a glass to you. Probably sharing the legend of the american girl that saved the company, that saved their jobs, okay? That’s not a small feat.

Summer: What good is it if I can’t even save my own marriage?

Billy: You’re a leader, summer, and you’re a damn good one. Go back to doing what you do best. Find a creative director. Run marchetti like the powerhouse you are. I believe in you. So does everyone else.

Summer: I screwed up, billy.

Billy: Yeah, you did. But you’ll fix it. And trust me, if I can change, so can you. Hi.

Jack: Hey. Got a full house. Anything I need to know? Please tell me now so I don’t have to read it in a press release.

Summer: Just bouncing some ideas for the new creative director at marchetti off of billy.

Jack: Sounds like the wheelhouse of our new chief talent officer. If you need a c-suite employee, diane’s the one to talk to.

Summer: Um, I wanna handle this hire myself.

Jack: Okay. Whatever you need.

Summer: Great. Thanks, jack. Thanks.

Billy: See you.

[ Billy exhaling ] Well, feels like we’re only a few steps away from doomsday. Whole thing’s about to go.

[ Imitates blasting ]

Jack: Feel like a day at the races here? Try spending some quality time at the abbott house.

Billy: Let me guess, ashley and tucker.

Jack: I am trying, billy.

Billy: Yeah.

Jack: If I could harness that strength and patience it takes not to give ashley a piece of my mind every time I see her, I could power the city of chicago. How could you walk away from the company like this? No word, no warning, no conversation. What has she become? Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Daniel: Just a rough cut. Kind of my favorite distraction. But I– I thought you might like to see it.

[ Daniel sighing ] You might wanna say something before this gets real awkward. No, no.

[ Laughing ] Oh, come on. Don’t look at me like that. You’re gonna make me blush. Do you like your birthday gift or not?

Lily: Do I like it? The all-knowing, multi-talented, multitasking queen of everything that grows and business. Is that me?

Daniel: Queen liliana.

Lily: Aw. I’ve never had anyone create an entire universe for me.

Daniel: It’s surprising because you deserve all that and more.

Lily: I am honored. Thank you.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Uh, excuse me. My game is on that tablet, so that’s mine now.

Daniel: No, no, no.

Lily: What are you doing?

Daniel: Your gift was that you got to see it.

Lily: I order you. I– I order you to give that back to me.

Daniel: Nice. Yeah. You know, you play your cards right maybe I’ll hire you to do the voiceover for the final product. But until then, queen liliana belongs to me.

Lily: Okay. What do I have to do to get a copy?

Daniel: Well, I thought you’d never ask.

Billy: And it’s been like that all day. Nonstop messages, request for interviews, the whole thing. I mean, I literally had to shut my cell phone off.

Jack: Take it up with our sister.

Billy: Yeah. No, thanks. That’s on you. I don’t know what she’s thinking. I mean, she leaves the family company without notifying the family? Not even a sticky note in the fridge saying, “adios, jabot, I’m outta here. Have fun.”

Jack: She wanted to punish me, billy.

Billy: Is there any way for her to take her patents and run? The way she did last time she tried to undercut the company?

Jack: No, I think we took care of that when we merged the two companies before, but legal’s looking into it just to be sure.

Billy: What is this thing they’re building? How long have they been working on it behind our backs?

Jack: Who knows? Did they buy an existing company or starting from scratch?

Billy: Good questions. No good answers.

Jack: When ashley gets angry, she gets quiet and sneaky. And she is furious right now.

Billy: And she has the perfect partner in tucker. Poster boy for unhinged and unpredictable. You look in his eyes and you know that there’s nothing he won’t do.

Jack: Which means this could get very ugly.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: Huh.

Tucker: Look at the happy couple.

[ Ashley mumbling ] What happened to you? Where’d you go? You disappeared the second diane left.

Ashley: She loathes seeing us together.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Makes her skin crawl.

Ashley: Yeah. I loathe seeing her in my home. I wish she would just go somewhere. I mean, anywhere but here.

Tucker: As much as I would love that for you I don’t see it happening.

Ashley: Why not?

Tucker: Why not? Because she’s got the perfect life now. She’s got a corner office of jabot and the adoration of a powerful man who will give her whatever she wants. She’s here for keeps unless something changes.

Ashley: Well, we were not effective.

Tucker: You’re just too polished and refined to get in the dirt with diane. And that’s where this game needs to be played.

Ashley: Yeah. Actually, there’s only one person that could finish this off once and for all. Phyllis.

Michael: Well, I’ve talked to diane and assorted witnesses, and now it’s time to talk to, um, you, the actual murder victim.

Phyllis: You wanna know everything?

Michael: From the day you met stark to the day he died. Every embarrassing, self-centered, disgusting detail.

Phyllis: Disgusting? Seriously, what do you think I’ve been doing?

Michael: Oh, you are capable of many things, my friend. The majority of them good. Look, why don’t you just give me a timeline and maybe I’ll be able to give you something that will help strengthen your case.

Phyllis: Get your ducks in a row?

Michael: Precisely. But one– one question. Why didn’t you trust me? Come to me when all this started?

Phyllis: It’s complicated. I needed to do this alone. Seriously. And I didn’t think that I had anybody to turn to.

Michael: Me. Always for anything.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, there were things I needed to do alone. I couldn’t involve anybody. But now it’s time to change. And I know I can’t do that without you.

Michael: Change into what, may I ask?

Phyllis: Into a new phyllis. A good phyllis. A– a better, new improved phyllis.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Michael: You have all my faith.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Great. And I can’t do it without you.

Michael: No, you can’T.

Phyllis: I love you.

Michael: I got you, beautiful.

Phyllis: Okay. So… do you wanna know the whole story? Okay. Well, this is the story of how I died.

Trelegy for copd.

Jack: Hey, if you have real solutions for how to mitigate the effects of ashley’s latest move, now’s the time to speak up.

Billy: We need a secret weapon. We need something big. We need to push up the release date. How about the teenage fragrance line? It could be good. We’re what, a month or two away from marketing?

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. That’s feasible.

Billy: Well, ashley and tucker talked about using social media stars in their new venture. So we go bigger, right? Bigger names, bigger celebrities, sponsor concerts, do the whole thing. And for our more established customers, we go classic and iconic. Whatever ashley does, we do bigger and better.

Jack: I’m glad one of us is able to think strategically.

Billy: You can’t take this personal, jack.

Jack: Yeah, that’s exactly what it is though! A basic disrespect for each other and a profound dislike for our respective future spouses.

Billy: That is fine, but we we have a business to run, okay? And as far as these battles, the merchandising and the marketing, I can handle those with my hands tied behind my back. But the hurt feelings, the distrust, the resentment among the soon to be newlyweds, I’m out. That’s all you.

[ Jack sighing ]

Daniel: So the birthday girl wants a copy of the game I’m working on.

Lily: I’m royalty now, so I’m not gonna negotiate.

Daniel: Oh. Well, what will you do if you don’t get your way?

Lily: Psh. I’m gonna, you know, I’m– I’m gonna stop time. Yeah.

Daniel: What would we do with all that time on our hands?

Lily: I don’t know.

[ Laughing ]

Summer: Uh, excuse me. Would it kill you to check your messages?

Daniel: I’m sorry, I was busy. I shut my phone off. Is there an emergency?

Summer: Did you get the messages from michael? He wants to meet with us now. I’m sorry, lily.

Lily: No, no, no. It’s fine. Um, I have to get back to the office, so thank you again.

Daniel: Hey, hey. Before you go… part of your present. Some might say the best part.

Lily: Thank you. And call me. We’ll keep celebrating.

Daniel: It seems like there’s always something to celebrate when you’re around.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Okay. Bye.

Summer: Bye.

Daniel: Right. Okay. Um, what do you think this meeting with michael’s about?

Summer: I don’t know. I’m guessing he talked to mom and maybe he wants to prepare us for the next part when she turns herself in.

Daniel: Look, I know that this whole thing is scary. When you lose a spouse, you feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself, and then it’s you against the world. Every day’s a battle.

Summer: You know what, daniel? I’m fine. And you make a lousy shrink anyway.

Daniel: Well, I mean, you were spinning out earlier.

Summer: My company is going through a major upheaval right now. So, what do you– what do you want from me? It’s– it’s not bad to have emotions. It’s not like I’m running around punching walls or anything. I just wish that I could talk to kyle about all of this. I wish that I could tell him how much I love him, how much our marriage means to me. I just wanna show him that I can be better because I can.

Daniel: I know.

Summer: If he would just let me in, you know, let me love him. Just everything feels wrong when we’re apart, you know? Look, I– I know that I did a bad thing. I know. And I’m– I’m sorry for it, but he hates me. He used to say that we belong together, and now it’s like we’re complete strangers. I just… wish that he would let me fix it. I don’t think I’m gonna get another chance though.

Phyllis: Again with your watch. My goodness. Are you meeting lauren?

Michael: I’m meeting your children.

Phyllis: Oh, you are?

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Really? Can I go? I’ll hide. They won’t even know I’m there.

Michael: Phyllis, stop. It’s only sheer luck that’s kept you out of police custody.

Phyllis: Yeah. Someone up there likes me.

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Chuckling ] We’re like this. You like me too. You like me too. You’re a good friend, michael.

Michael: I’m the best friend. Even if I weren’t your attorney, all your secrets would be safe with me.

Phyllis: Just the ones you know about.

Michael: Including the fact that you’re nervous about coming home and not just about the charges against you.

Phyllis: Nope.

Michael: You have got a lot of making up to do. Go on an apology tour. Do good works.

Phyllis: Ugh!

Michael: Yeah. Expect nothing, but be grateful for every little bit of forgiveness you get. But toy with my emotions, I’m your friend. I’m your buddy. I’m used to it. But when it comes to your family and the people who trust you…

Phyllis: Well, when it comes to the people who trust me and my family, of course, I owe them an apology and I will tell them everything that happened the night I died, and when jeremy stark tried to finish the job.

Michael: You ready?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, I just, um, I wanna just sit here for a bit, you know, and just breathe the air and feel the sunshine, you know, before the wrecking ball sets in.

Michael: The situation will be easier once you face it. You want more time, I’ll give you more time, but even my patience is waning.

Phyllis: Yeah. I just– I just wanna sit here for a bit, you know, and relax. I– I’ll– I’ll call you when I’m– I’m ready to get rid of my disguise.

Michael: Don’t make me wait too long.

Diane: Phyllis!

[ Diane scoffing ]

I have type 2 diabetes, With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com listen, your deodorant just has to work.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Diane: Wow! You’re not even trying to hide anymore.

Phyllis: Diane, I was just–

Diane: Why, why, why? Trying to have a few minutes of normalcy before your bestie holds your hand all the way to jail? That’s a lot more than I got. I was dragged away from your phony memorial so fast, I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to jack and kyle.

Phyllis: You survived.

Diane: You know what? I should call the police right now and have them take you away. So why don’t you say your goodbyes, phyllis? Who first? Michael and lauren who defended you even though you didn’t deserve it? Or what about daniel, who will be so relieved not to have your drama in his life? Or– or maybe summer. How could you say anything to her after your actions have ruined her life?

Phyllis: Listen, I will fix this. I will make amends to my children.

Diane: No, not to them. And not to jack.

Phyllis: Jack?

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: You know what? He will open his eyes to you because somebody will show how dangerous you are. I just wasn’t able to do it.

Diane: No, you sure weren’T.

[ Chuckling ] You know, what a disappointing end for you. No family, no friends, no witnesses. If you disappeared right now, people would just think you pulled a phyllis and ran away like the coward you are.

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Billy: That sounds great. Just run it by pr, please. Thank you. Well, there’s our newest hire, our chief talent officer. What do you think about ashley’s betrayal? Because let’s call it what it is, right?

Diane: Well, since I’m the reason that ashley’s gone into overdrive, I took the liberty of issuing directives to hr and legal.

Billy: Busy day for the corporate lawyers. I tell you that much.

Jack: They’re well paid.

Diane: It is imperative that we shore up our team. We need to make sure everybody has signed non-disclosures and non-competes. If they’re not satisfied, we make them that way. If they’re already happy, we make them happier. Our goal is to make sure that no one flips and joinsof fools.

Jack: It’s all right. I appreciate the loyalty.

Billy: Like I said, jack, diane and I can handle it until you get caught up. But we can only go so far without you ad infinitum, right? What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. It’s gonna hurt. There’s gonna be some growing pains, but we take a pill and we move on. And with that, excuse me, you two need to talk.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Why is our happiness such a threat to almost everyone I know and love?

Summer: No sign of michael. Has he sent you any more messages?

Daniel: Like behind your back?

Summer: Uh, I’m not being paranoid. Chance told me that the minute that they find mom, they’re gonna come after me. So, yes, I’m worried with good reason.

Daniel: Well, don’t be mad at me. You let her put you in this position.

Summer: I was put in this position the day that I was born. I mean, how do you– how do you do it? You just stop being her child. How– how do you not care what happens to our mom?

Daniel: Oh, I care. I do care. I care within certain boundaries.

Summer: You know what? Yes. I helped her without hesitation. You wanna know why? Because she would’ve done the same thing for me and for you. Daniel, we turned our backs on her before. Before this half brain plan that she hatched with stark. And look at how that turned out.

Daniel: I know. I wasn’t there.

Summer: No, you weren’t there for me and you never are.

[ Summer exhaling ] I have risked it all for mom. I’m this close to losing everything that I have ever wanted in life. I’m the one that’s paying the price for her death. You wonder why I’m spinning out?

Phyllis: “To summer, daniel, michael, lauren, all my family and friends, and you know who you are. This time away has not been easy and you are the ones who have suffered. Listen, I apologize for that. I’ve made mistakes, but I’m learning from them. Um, I’m turning it around, making changes. And it’s– it’s time I realize that I’m defeated. There’s no way I’ll get my life back or have any peace. I guess I need to face it. Diane won.” Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Summer: Michael, what’s the news? How’s our mom?

Michael: Brace yourselves. I think she’s ready for her comeback.

Diane: I say let ashley and tucker spread their misery. Who cares? Who cares? We have a wedding to plan. I have a fantastic new job. And I am not going to let anything overshadow that.

Jack: Wow. Look how good you are at turning things around.

Diane: Mm. Well, I’ve eaten prison pizza. I can survive anything the two of them dish out. And so can jabot. We’re strong. And competition only makes us stronger, especially when it comes from someone who knows our weaknesses. We stand guard.

Jack: I like seeing this side of you.

[ Diane laughing ] Marry me now.

Diane: What?

Jack: Yeah. I mean it. Tell me what you want and let me make it all come true.

Diane: It doesn’t matter where or when. All I want is to be your wife. Aw.

Ashley: You know, when I think about what I heard that phyllis had died, I mean, completely blew my mind. As annoying as I’ve always found her, thinking of the world without phyllis in it was just insane to me and I’m so glad I was right.

Tucker: Still missing in action though.

Ashley: Yeah. She can’t stay away forever.

Tucker: Yeah. But even if she comes back, she’ll be so busy fighting the charges against her, she won’t have time to rid genoa city of diane.

Ashley: Is there a plan going on in there? What, huh?

Tucker: Well, we could certainly ramp up the pressure on diane. A few more of those, uh, public displays of affection. A little more intense. Um, constant chatter about our new venture. Connubial bliss.

Ashley: Yeah. We already tried that, tucker.

Tucker: Ah, hot tub.

Ashley: What? You wanna drown her?

Tucker: No, no. I wanna sit naked in it with you while we have a constant stream of whatever music she detests, uh, playing loudly. Uh, while we, uh, laugh obnoxiously and smoke cheap cigars, the aroma of which will waft into her sanctum sanctorum. Doesn’t that sound nice? I can hardly wait to get started. It’ll be my wedding gift to you, my dear.

Ashley: What a glorious gift. Thank you so much. But maybe we should start just a little smaller, something you can actually guarantee, like the headhunter that we need. I want the best in the business. And if we have to go after somebody from jabot, so be it. If you can make that happen, I’ll be the happiest bride in town.

Tucker: Ah, how lucky would I be to be the guy that– to make you the happiest bride in town. Ugh!

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Thanks very much. You’ve made me late. I’m so mesmerized by you, I lose track of time.

Ashley: Yeah. Flattery will get you everywhere.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, wait ’til you hear me waxing poetic about you and smooth jazz while I sit naked in a hot tub.

Ashley: I like the naked part.

Tucker: Wait ’til tonight.

Ashley: Bye.

Tucker: Bye. Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

Jack: I mean it. I have never wanted to just run away more than I do right now.

Diane: Where would you go?

Jack: Anywhere with you. I just– I don’t wanna stay here where people can’t be happy that we are happy.

Diane: So where would we go?

Jack: Private islands, places you’ve never dreamed of, the south pacific. We could build a lifetime of memories in the sand.

Diane: We can’t do that.

Jack: Sure we can. Why not?

Diane: Because. Anyway, running jabot is excitement enough. Jack, all I want is you.

Jack: You have me. Any time zone, any hemisphere, any climate.

Diane: Sweep me off my feet, why don’t you?

Jack: I have waited for this part for a long, long time. I get the girl and I get to ride off on the sunset with her.

Diane: You are irresistible.

Jack: It’s my curse.

[ Diane laughing ] What do you say? Will you come with me? Will you be my girl?

Phyllis: Defeated? Diane won? No. What are you doing? Who am I? No, phyllis. Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. Diane won. Uh-uh. No more hiding. This is done. I’m coming out of hiding. Ready or not, here I come, guys. And this time, guess what? I’m gonna finish what I started.

Daniel: Have you managed to work out some kind of deal with the da?

Michael: Not formally. Turning herself in now was phyllis’s idea.

Summer: Why now?

Michael: You. She feels guilty and not about stark. That was undeniably self-defense. She feels responsible for the state of your marriage. She wants to help. But with any luck, I’ll be able to prove that phyllis was the victim of coercive control. Stark manipulated her into fleshing out his plans to get revenge on diane and to get his hands on phyllis’s fortune.

Daniel: And how will you do that?

Michael: Carson, the emt, he dealt with stark. He knew what a psycho he was. He knew exactly how far that man would go.

Daniel: Great. Where is he?

Michael: That’s a good question. Even victor hasn’t had any luck yet.

Summer: And I mean, even if we do find him, it’s gonna be difficult to convince him to come forward because of the charges that he might be facing for the part that he played.

Michael: It’s a tall order.

Summer: We have to try. This is mom that we’re talking about. We need to fight for her the way that she would for any of us. No one is untouchable. We will find carson. Somehow. We have to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Zeke. So this is why you’re not taking my calls, huh? On a little date with jordan? Portia, that’s not what’s — what else did valentin say to you? Gun! Everybody down!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Indistinct shouting ] Get down!

[ Shouting ] Down! Down! Down!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Woman shouts ] I’m here, boss!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Indistinct shouting ] You ready to dance? Thought you’d never ask. You guys coming? Uh, mom and I are gonna wait for kristina. Yeah, I’ll be there in one second. I just have to… okay, well, don’t be too long.

[ Dance music plays ] Well, I’m glad. It looks like molly’s feeling a little better. Yes, I’m very glad that she’s given herself a break from all the pressure she’s put on herself. We just have to really make sure that molly knows that she’s not alone in this. Molly knows that we all have her back. Of course. I just — I know that it’s their decision, but selfishly, I really hope that they move forward with having a baby. Well, I mean, so do I. But if that’s what makes them happy. We’re t going to pressure them into anything, right? No, of course. Of course. Yeah, I know. I just — I just wish there was something we could do to help them make this decision easier. That’s it. Why didn’t I think of that before? It solves so many problems. I m– I mean, it’s perfect. I shudder to think. What? Wait. What’s your big idea? I can be molly and tj’s surrogate.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Dance music continues ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Molly. C-can we sit somewhere separate? Like, as isolated as possible? Okay, but why don’t you want to be around your mom and your sisters? Because I may have to kill my sister. God, I missed this. I feel like all I do is run from one disaster to the next, trying to figure out who’s mad at who.

[ Chuckles ] I feel like we haven’t even done something like this since high school. Things sure were a lot simpler back then. Yes, they were. For one thing, we didn’t have boyfriends who couldn’t stand each other.

[ Exhales deeply ] You’re late. I know. I’m sorry. I got held up at work. How’s ace? He was asleep when I left. Hey, I can’t wait for your grandmother and kevin to get back from searching for nikolas. I’ll feel way more comfortable rather than leaving him with a strange babysitter. Melanie is one of the quartermaine nannies. She’s doing this as a favor to me, and her credentials are impeccable, esme. But my child has already been kidnapped once by your demented relatives, so forgive me if I’m a little overprotective.

[ Chuckles ] It is complete fine with me if we bail on this class. This was your idea.

[ Sighs ] This is detective chase with the pcpd. Yes. Three shots wer e firedat the metro court pool. No, I wasn’t present at the shooting. I-I’m in the restaurant. I don’t know if anyone was hit. Gabe, can you see the shooter?

[ Crowd gasping ] No sign of movement. Somebody already called it in? I’m outside by the pool where the shots happened. Sounded like it came from above, from a hotel room. I’m going in. Copy that. Chase! Hey. What happened? We heard gunshots. Oh, thank god. Uh, I need your help. Come with me. I’m with the pcpd. I need everyone to stay right where you are.

[ Crowd murmuring ] Curtis? Good. Swat’s on the way? Curtis?! Curtis?! Zeke: Wait, wait, wait! Portia, portia, portia! Curtis! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Zeke, curtis! No. No, no, no. No, no, no. No.

[ Breathing heavily ] No!

Portia. No, no, no. Portia, what can I do? I need towels to stop the bleeding.

[ Breathing heavily ] No, curtis, come on. Ay with me. Come on, let’s go. Let’s go! Move, move, move! Stay here. Gabe, did you see where the shots came from? I didn’T. I was in the entranceway on guard. I ran out by the pool area as soon as I heard that first gunshot. Okay. No, don’t do this. No, no, no.

[ Whispering ] Here, portia. There’s so much blood. I don’t know the damage that the bullet did.

[ Breathing shakily ] Come on. Stay with me. Stay with me, curtis. Please, stay with me.

[ Sobs ] Portia? Portia? It’s finn and elizabeth. Let us take over, alright?

[ Sobs, sniffles ] It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay. Jordan, what happened? Portia, it’s okay to let go. Alright? We got this. Trust me.

[ Crying ] Okay. Okay? Alright? It’s gonna be okay. He’s gonna be alright, I promise you.

[ Crying ] Ready? Let’s go.

[ Portia crying ] The entry wound is in his back.

[ Crying continues ] I know it’s rare for me to defend spencer, but his dislike of dex started out because… I handled my breakup with cameron very poorly, and I should have broken up with him… before I started seeing dex. It just — it started the night I was attacked by the hook, and emotions were running high, and I wasn’t thinking.

[ Breathes sharply ] And it’s not an excuse. But I think that spencer just wants to have cameron’s back, and I think that that’s a good thing. His bad impression of dex is really about me. And besides the whole cameron situation, I think that spencer is just intimidated by dex. Really? Why? Well, spencer throws his wealth around, and it also makes him defensive about being dismissed as a spoiled rich kid. He has always wanted to come across just as tough and just as smart as anybody else. And dex works for his uncle sonny. You know, I think that spencer just wants to prove that he’s just as tough as dex. Yeah, I think you may be right. To be clear, I’m not okay… with how spencer’s been acting towards dex. But dex can defend himself, you know? As far as the fake evidence goes, I think that spencer really took what you said to him to heart because he’s taking a whole new approach with esme. What do you know about his new approach to esme? My suggestion that we take this parenting class was genuine. I really want us to work together as a team, and I want us to be able to cooperate for ace’s sake. But it doesn’t seem like you want to cooperate with me. What do you think I’m doing here, esme? This is me cooperating. I am the one who’s here. You’re the one who just said that you don’t want to be here. Whoa, I never said that. I said that I was uncomfortable leaving my son — something that you can never understand because ace is not your son! Sounds like you two are here for the parenting class. Come on in. As soon as molly was diagnosed with endometriosis, I immediately made an appointment with my ob. Do you have it, too? No, I just thought that — I don’t know. I thought maybe it was hereditary. But I am happy to tell you that I am in excellent health. Plus, I’m the right age, and I share dna with molly. I’m not currently in a relationship, and I don’t have any immediate plans to have a child of my own in the near future. So that puts me in the perfect position to carry a child for molly and tj. Sweetie, I know that you want to help your sister, but I think offering to be a surrogate at this juncture is — is a bit premature. What did kristina do now? How do you know it was kristina? Because she’s the one that pushes your buttons. I’ve never heard you threaten to kill sam. I wouldn’t actually kill kristina, either. I just feel so out of control these days, that I-I could see myself losing it on her and tearing into her and doing damage that would be irreparable. Why would you be tempted to do that? Because she wants to be our surrogate.

I think the shooting stopped. No, we don’t know that. Um, but — the shooter could be waiting for one of us to come out. I’m gonna try and pull up a floor plan, see if we can figure out where they are. Good idea. Sonny! Damn it, dad! What are you doing?! I’m ending this! Come on!

[ Breathes sharply ] We need to be careful here. The entry wound is near his spine. There’s heavy bleeding that I’m trying to stop. I don’t understand. Who would want to shoot curtis?

[ Siren wailing in distance ] I don’t think he was the intended target. Grandma bobbie told me she saw spencer and esme had signed up for a parenting class together at G.H. Does your grandma teach the class? No. No. She just oversees all of the outreach classes there, and she saw their names. She mentioned it to me the other day. She said it looked like spencer was starting to make an effort with esme. It remains to be seen whether or not she’ll reciprocate.

[ Scoffs ] I just hate the thought of spencer spending even more time with esme.

[ Chuckles ] I agree. Evening, ladies. Oh. Can I offer you a cold beverage? I brought iced lattes. That sounds wonderful.

[ Chuckles ] Perfect for a hot summer night. What are you doing here? You told me to swing by when I got off work. I did, didn’t I? Welcome to the class, everyone. And first, might I say congratulations on signing up. Plenty of people will tell you parenting comes naturally and you shouldn’t need instruction. And in fact, this is not a “how to” class, because there is no magic formula. No strict regimen on how to parent. What works for one child doesn’t necessarily work at all for another. Yes? You have a question? Yes. I’m sorry. Um, if this isn’t a “how to” class, then what are we doing here? Good question. This class is about strategies for cooperation between parents — how to communicate, how to make room for each other’s opinions, and, yes, even sometimes learning to compromise. Now, it doesn’t mean always getting along. It means being able to negotiate, to avoid ultimatums because children can sense tension. And when the parents are at war, the one who suffers is the child. First of all, um, it was only a few months ago molly wasn’t even certain that she wanted to have a child. And sadly, uh, that option to do it biologically has been taken away from her, and she’s devastated. They’re both devastated. But I’m pretty certain that this is not a good time to make any rash decisions or any grand gestures, right? Because they need to regroup, they need to heal, they need to figure out even if they want to have a family, and what that family may look like, and maybe it’ll be a surrogate, maybe it won’T. But now is not the time to do anything. I could not disagree more. And why did I think you were going to say that? What if there’s less time than they think? I know that kristina wants to help, that she thinks that she’s helping, but what she’s really doing is just throwing it in my face that she has viable eggs and a healthy uterus and I don’T. That she can get pregnant and carry a baby, no problem. And she’ll get to experience all of it — the life growing inside of her and pregnancy and labor and giving birth, and I won’t experience any of it. And once again, it’ll be the “kristina” show. Not even the worst thing that’s ever happened to me gets to be about me. It’ll all be about her. Not to me.

[ Radio chatter ] I can’t believe how fast the swat team got here. They had to declare the building safe before the paramedics could come in. I’m his wife. I want

to ride in the ambulance, please. Let’s go. Let’s go. Ready to go? Ye. Let’s go. I can give you a ride to the hospital if you want. We’re crime scene witnesses. We need to stay and give our statements. What? No, no. Hold on a second. Uh, excuse me, detective? I re ally want to takms. Ashford to the hospital, and I want to be there for my sister, portia. Can we give you our statements later zeke, it’s okay. No, no, no, no, it’s fine. Well, did you see the shooter, or do you have any information about the shooter that could help us? No. Then you better take her to the hospital. Okay. Thank you.

[ Radio chatter ] Chase, anything? Hey, you realize that was reckless? You shou have stayed hidden, the way your son directed you to. I don’t know what you were thinking — stepping out in the open like that. You made yourself a target. It was a calculated risk. I assumed the shooter was gone, and that was the quickest way to prove it, so that the paramedics could help curtis. I came up to the pool to talk to my dad. I-I saw a rifle barrel. I yelled for everyone to take cover, and a shot went off around the same time. Do you know which room the shot came from? Well, I don’t know what room it is, but it’s that window right there. We got to search the whole building. We already did a preliminary sweep of the building to make sure it’s safe to allow the paramedics in. Our team’s clearing the hotel, room by room. Well, I heard three gunshots. Yeah, I heard one hit the water, one hit here, and the other one hit this way. And I think curtis got hit by a ricochet. Okay, dex, you can have my spot on the blanket. Wait, where are you going? Are you still mad at me about punching spencer? No, no. You ha– you have to stay, please. I want my best friend and my boyfriend to get to know each other better, please. See, I like that idea. Please. Why don’t you tell me one of the many things that you know about joss that I don’t?

[ Sighs ] Well, if you’ve ever seen her play volleyball, you know how competitive she is. Oh, I sure do.

[ Laughter ] That’s true. That — that is true. Yeah. [ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s work. I need to take it. Ugh. Alright, fine.

[ Ringing continues ] Gabe, what’s going on? I need you to alert the rest of the team. There’s been another ambush at metro court pool. Wait. What? Where’s sonny? Is he okay? I think he was the target, but I can’t be sure. There was one person who was shot, though. Uh, yeah. Thanks for letting me know. Hey. Everything okay? What’s wrong? There was a shooting at the metro court pool. Oh — oh, my god. Is everyone okay? Uh, one person was shot… curtis ashford. Remember, people, this is not a test. It’s just an exeise to see how your expectations match up with your partner’S. If one parent wants the child to go to bed at 6:00 and the other wants them to stay awake until they fall asleep naturally, that’s going to be a point of friction. The goal is to answer honestly. Truth is the best starting point. What? I put 7:00 P.M. That’s your rule, right? What — that’s what time you put ace down. Well, it’s — it’s not exactly m-my rule. It’s what the books recommend. But honestly, in filling this out, I realized that I never asked your opinion. So… what time do you think ace should go to bed? Isn’t what’s happening to molly a cautionary tale of what happens with the mistake of waiting too long? By the time she was diagnosed with endometriosis, it was already too late — her eggs were no longer viable. All because she waited too long. Please never, ever make that argument to molly. No, of course not. I’m just — my point is, I’m healthy now. I’m single now. I’m at a place in my life where i can carry a child. And I don’t know how I’m going to feel in two years. Maybe I’ll have met someone by then. God willing, I will have met someone by then. I just — I think if I am going to do this for my sister, the sooner the better. You know, over the years, I’ve witnessed kristina’s tendency to make things all about her. When you achieve something, it’s almost like clockwork that she has a crisis to refocus the family’s attention on her. So whether we choose to have a child or not — and how we go about that — that’s a decision for us to make together. Kristina will have nothing to do with it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Monitor beeping ] What do we got? Gsw to the back. Bp 70, palp. Pulse 140. Lost a lot of blood. Glasgow coma score 1/1/1. Let’s get him into trauma one. Did you use spinal precautions? Yes, and there was a physician on scene.

[ Beeping continues ]

[ Portia sobs ] The shot went this way. Oh, dante. Oh, I’m so glad you’re okay. Hey. Yeah, yeah. I heard that someone was shot. I’m just glad it wasn’t you or your dad. Um, yeah. Yeah. Curtis ashford, unfortunately, wasn’t so lucky. He was shot in the back. Oh, that’s horrible. Yeah. He’s at G.H. Doctors are looking after him now.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here? This is a crime scene. No, I know. I-I just gave a statement to a cop in the restaurant, and she said it was safe to come out here. Look, I know that you’re working, okay? And I-I promise I’m not going to get in your way. I just — I had to see you. Keep my eyes on you. With the other thing that’s going on with my dad and now this shooting tonight, I just — I want you to know how much you mean to me, okay?

[ Nitor beeping ] Okay, team. Patient has a gsw to the back. We’re going to continue spinal precautions. We were in the restaurant when we heard a gun fire, and detective chase asked for our help. And when we got out here, we saw… curtis ashford lying on the ground unconscious because he had been shot in the back. Alright. Thank you. If we have any more questions, we’ll contact you. Thanks. Oh, hey, I wanted to thank you for your help before the paramedics got here. Anytime. You guys are free to go, okay? Thank you. Thanks, dante.

[ Radio chatter ] You know, if curtis lives, it’ll be because of your quick actions. No. I couldn’t have done it without your help. Let’s just pray that it’s enough. It was such a beautiful summer night.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Can we get out of here? Yeah.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Move him on my count. One, two, three…

[ Grunts ] Based on his vitals, we need to initiate code massive transfusion. Start a second line, give two units o neg, two units of cross matched, four units fresh frozen plasma, a platelet, and cryo. Let’s start with a dic panel, cbc, cmp, and blood gasses. We need a stat x-ray and ct of the back. Yes, doctor. Dr. Robinson, we can’t have you in here. No. No. I know — I know you’re — you’re scared, but — but you need to stay out here. Okay? We– we’ll — we’ll update you as soon as we know something. That’s my husband. Please. I’m depending on you to save him. Please. That’s — that’s the plan.

[ Crying ]

[ Sniffles ] I didn’t know you had such strong opinions about kristina. Does kristina have the classic jan brady syndrome as the middle child who wants all of the attention all the time? Of course she does. But I know her to be funny and incredibly generous. You know, a person can be both selfish and generous at the same time. Kristina is living proof. But our baby situation is not happening to her. It’s happening to us. At the very least, I should put the idea out there to molly and tj so they know they have options. No, no, no, no. Before — wait, wait. Before you do that, you need to really think about what being a surrogate actually means. Oh, she’s absolutely right. I mean, you really need to think about what carrying someone else’s child means to you. And then the third shot hit right here. And sonny and i were hiding behind the bar. That last shot was… I mean, it could have been aimed at either one of you. One of you two is the target here.

[ Radio chatter ] Hey, uh, can I talk to you privately? Yeah, sure. Excuse me.

[ Radio chatter ] Okay, I talked with hotel security. There’s only one room on the 11th floor with a pool view. It was unoccupied. Let’s go check it out. Okay.

[ Door closes ] Hey, portia. Portia, have there been any updates? Oh. He’s in the trauma room now, and they’re prepping him for surgery. They just have to find the exact location of the bullet. Alright. I-I think we should find a seat to sit on. I think we’re going to be here for a while. No. No, no, no. I-I-I’m fine here. You would think this would be easier for me because I’m a doctor, right? I know what they’re doing in there. I know every step that they’re taking. But I also know that doctors are human, too. And sometimes everything you can do… is not enough.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Trina! Trina… mom! I heard about curtis.

[ Voice breaking ] I-is he, um… they’re working on him now. Curtis is alive — and he’s fighting.

[ Exhales deeply ]

The first time I was pregnant, I was not at all prepared to be a mother. It was jason who offered to help me raise sonny’s baby. But as the pregnancy progressed, it affected me profoundly in ways that I would have never, ever anticipated. So by the time my daughter lila was stillborn at birth… …I mean, it shattered me. So I guess my — my point is, I thought I knew what it meant to be pregnant, when in reality, I-I could not have been more wrong. You’re right. This is happening to both of us. And I’ve been shutting you down and pushing you away. And… this is my loss, but it’s also your loss, too.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’m sorry. And… I wanted to give you a child —

our child. I wanted to car that baby and give birth with you by my side. I had all these dreams that I just took for granted because I just thought that they would happen someday when we were ready. And now I know that they’re never going to happen. And I’m grieving, but in my grief… I forgot to ask what your dreams were. Jordan? How are you doing? I’m okay. You don’t need to worry about me. You should be with your sister. No. Portia knows I’m here if she needs me. But for right now, her best comfort is her daughter. If you don’t want to talk about it, I totally understand, but, um… what happened tonight? I’m still processing everything, really. It all happened so fast. I was at the pool with jordan and zeke, and I saw curtis — I saw him come in. And then we heard a gunshot. From where? I-I-I-I don’t know.

[ Sighs ] But then, jordan told us to take cover, and then I heard two more gunshots.

And then I look over at curtis and he’s down on the ground, face down. So I run over to him, and I try to stop the bleeding as fast as I could, but… wait. [ Exhales deeply ] Who told you? How do you know that curtis was shot? What are you looking for? Spencer. Trina needs him. And I think I know wherto find him. Uh, spencer and esme.

[ Whispering ] Yeah? Hmm. You have the exact same answers. So either you two are both perfectly in sync, or you’re reading from the same parenting guide.

[ Chuckles ] We’re reading from the same parenting guide. Well, you’re both very young. I assume this is your first child? Oh, uh, no. Ace is my baby. Spencer is his brother. And, um, baby daddy’s not in the picture. How’s that working out? Uh, surprisingly well. Spencer and I may not have always gotten along, but I do have to admit that, um… spencer always comes through for ace. Esme’s a devoted mom. She found this parenting guide, and I think that she found it helpful, so she had me read it as well, and, um, she found this class for us because she wants what’s best for ace. And I want the same thing. It sounds like you make a good team. I’m just so grateful that you’re not hurt. Of course, you, too. Oh, no. I appreciate that. Thank you. It’s just — it’s times like these that I realize just how dangerous chase and dante’s jobs really are. You know? Anyway, I’m no good to anyone just standing here wringing out my hands, so I’m going to head home. Nope, no, no. Gabe? Yes, boss? Make sure she gets home safe. No, you don’t need to do that. You’re in bad shape. You’re not going to drive home by yourself. Thank you. Okay?

[ Radio chatter ]

[ Exhales deeply ] That was really nice. Depends on your perspective. If I’m the shooter’s target, then I got to bear some responsibility for what happened here. Yeah. Well, I-I mean, judging by where the bullets hit, I uld say you were being targeted. Have there been any other incidents lately? Is someone trying to kill you?

[ Radio chatter continues ] Hey, you, uh — you find anything in there? We’ve swept all the rooms. No sign of the shooter. Ah, the hotel staff says this is the only room that wasn’t occupied. I want to take another look. Be my guest. So the shooter may be gone, but maybe he left something behind. Yeah, I’m gonna check the rooms. Okay. Hey, chase! I found something. Yeah? What is it? Come take a look.

Oh, mom! I am so sorry about curtis. I know. I know, baby. All we can do is pray right now. Listen, if you guys need anything, we’re here to help. Thank you. I’m — I’m so sorry. I-I don’t remember your name. Uh, dex. Josslyn’s boyfriend. If you need anything, I’ll be right over here. Thank you. Hey, listen, um, can you stay with trina? I’ll — I’ll be back in a minute. Of course. You’re right. I didn’t really think this through.

[ Breathes deeply ] I-I think I was just so busy focusing on my sister and helping her, I didn’t really think about how this would affect me. And — and being pregnant for nine months, giving birth — that’s a lot. For molly and tj, too. Surrogacy isn’t something I should just do on impulse. So don’t be so hard on yourself. It was a loving impulse. I guess it’s a good thing I only blurted that idea out to you two and not molly and tj.

[ All chuckle ] Stop. Yeah. Mm.

[ Exhales deeply ] Even if I never said it out loud… I guess I also dreamed for you to carry our child. And… so, yeah. I’ve been grieving the loss of that dream, but at least on my end, I know that I’d still like for us to have kids. And how and when that happens, that is all up for grabs. Things we can figure out when we’re ready. Okay. Good. Because I still want to have kids someday, too. Although, if we were to go the surrogacy route, kristina is healthy, and I do share dna with her. She might actually be our best choice. I don’t know why I’m feeling like this. I’ve assisted in plenty of gunshot wounds. Well, you know, you do your job, right? Then the emergency passes and the adrenaline fades… and we have the same fears as everyone else. And you look down and you see that victim. And he’s bleeding. That’s your friend. That’s curtis. That’s portia’s husband. I just can’t stop shaking.

[ Breathes deeply ] It — it’s possible that I’m the shooter’s target. I’ve been experiencing some “friction” with a newer business associate lately.

[ Radio chatter ] You don’t have to speak in code, sonny. I’m not affiliated with law enforcement now in any capacity. Well, your “fall from grace” is pretty new and very public, and somebody was upset enough to spray paint “murderer” on your front door. You think maybe… those shots weren’t aimed at you? Those bullets were meant for me? This is detective chase. I’m at the metro court hotel. We believe we found the rifle used in tonight’s shooting. Would you send a forensics team over? Thank you. You know what we’re going to find with this gun? Absolutely nothing. No prints, no way to trace it back to the shooter. It’s a ghost gun. S-same thing with the shell casings and the rest of the room. We’re not going to find anything. This person was a pro. Yeah, maybe a pro… but to tell you the truth, this also feels like it could be an intelligence op. You never did answer my question. What time do you think ace should go to bed?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’ve been a late night guy for as long as I can remember. Hmm. Uh, when I was little, I used to sneak out of bed because I had this whole gaming set-up.

[ Laughs ] I know — I had this whole gaming set-up in one of the spare rooms at wyndemere, and I thought that I was being really slick, getting away with it. But it turns out that my dad knew the whole time, so I guess it was nice of him to turn a blind eye. You know, I think that’s the first positive thing I’ve ever heard you say about your dad. Hmm. Yeah, well, we were close when I was younger. I mean, ace may never know his father, but… he does have a really great older brother. Okay, set it up. I’ll be there shortly. Um, I don’t know if you cod use an attorney, but just so you know, I’m willing to help out any way I can. I am the acting deputy mayor now. And with mayor collins out of town, I am the highest-ranking city official. Yeah. So I have to do a press conference about the shooting and reassure the public that they’re safe. So… I’ve [Exhales deeply] Got to go do that now. Well, could I at least walk you out?

[ Sighs ] Sure. Okay. Thank you. Is there an update on curtis? Is my dad going to be okay? Curtis has been stabilized, but he’s still unconscious. He’s going to need surgery to remove the bullet, which is complicated by the fact that the bullet is lodged against curtis’s spine.

On the next “General Hospital” —
