[ Romantic music ]

Brooke: This is the big day!

Hope: I know. I’m just so happy that you’re here.

Brooke: This is your moment. You’ve been working so hard on hope for the future. Now, the world’s gonna be able to get a glimpse of your new collection.

Hope: Well, I am just excited to share the stage with you.

Brooke: Oh, gosh I– I almost fell over when ridge suggested I model one of your gowns.

Hope: I think it’s sweet. It’s just another reminder about how much he loves you. Yeah, I don’t know. I think, uh, maybe the romantic magic of rome is working on the two of you.

Brooke: Maybe.

Ridge: So, you’re okay with this?

Thomas: No. Yeah, of course. Including brooke is a great idea.

Ridge: Yes, it is. Two generations of logan women. You want that. And then the press can eat it up.

Thomas: Yes, you’re right. Brooke is a legend and I’m sure hope is gonna enjoy sharing the limelight with her mom.

Ridge: All right. What about you? It’s a big day for you. Nervous?

Steffy: Better not be. You and hope need to kill it today.

Thomas: Mm. You know what? I have all the confidence in the world in the message, in my designs and hope and i both understand how big of a day this is for hope for the future.

Carter: It’s gonna be huge. But I am surprised that liam isn’t here with his wife.

Bill: We’re on our way, son. A little later than anticipated, but we’ll have you in rome before you know it.

Liam: You know how like, unbelievably generous this is, right? Because every– every commercial flight I looked at was booked. I mean, I never would have made it to the event.

Bill: I told you I was going to europe anyway to do some business on the stella maris. I’ll drop my son in rome. No big deal.

Liam: What would I do without my daddy? Huh?

Bill: Hmm.

Liam: This is working out great. I’m– I just– I can’t wait to see hope.

Zende: Time difference with italy is no joke.

Eric: [ Laughing ] Yeah.

Rj: Can’t believe I skipped my morning workout to be here.

Eric: Good morning, rj. Very glad you could join us.

Rj: It’s always a pleasure.

Zende: Feels kind of surreal. The preview is actually happening, today.

Paris: The culmination of many months of long hours and perseverance.

Eric: Yeah, the two of you have been vital to the success of the line. You should be very proud of yourselves.

Rj: I’m excited for all of you guys, really, especially hope.

Carter: Everyone get the latest rundown?

Ridge and thomas: Yes.

Carter: Okay. We’ll start with the showcase and the photo shoot and then move on to the press conference.

Steffy: Sounds good.

Carter: Fair warning, no topic is off limits. Be prepared for business questions and personal questions too.

Ridge: Great.

Carter: And just you wait. They’ll have a field day when they find out you’re here with brooke.

Hope: Thoughts?

Brooke: Oh, I love it. It’s a great speech.

Hope: I just– I wanted to keep it brief, but heartfelt.

Brooke: It’s spectacular. You never cease to amaze me, hope.

Hope: Well, it’s certainly a group effort. Gosh, it’s almost time to be a piazza navona.

Brooke: You okay? You seem–

Hope: No, it’s just um… I wish liam was here. I just– I feel bad that I– I waited until the last second to invite him and…

Brooke: Honey, this is a work trip.

Hope: No, I know, it’s just… this could be one of the biggest milestones in my career and it feels wrong that my husband isn’t here to celebrate it with me.

Bill: You’re a good husband flying all this way to support your wife.

Liam: Yeah, well, it probably should have been my plan all along.

Bill: Hope is going to be over the moon when she sees you.

Liam: Hey. Are you– are you getting cell service? I’m not getting any cell service.

Bill: Sorry, liam, I should’ve told you I’m upgrading the system. The wi-fi is down.

Liam: Oh. Okay, you know what? It’s fine. It’s for the best, honestly, because I don’t want anybody to know I’m flying to rome. It would spoil the surprise. This isn’t charmin!

Liam: My whole thing was, I didn’t want hope to feel like I was chaperoning. Like– like I want to be a bodyguard.

Bill: Against thomas?

Liam: Yeah, I know it sounds crazy.

Bill: No, not crazy. You have legitimate reason to be concerned about thomas. Now, if– if I were playing devil’s advocate…

Liam: What if I’m wrong? What if he’s the angel everybody says he is?

Bill: Well, look, I’m– I’m– I’m living proof that people can change.

Liam: That’s an interesting point. I mean, yeah, you’re not the man you were a year ago.

Bill: Right? How come you’re the only one who sees it? I’ve– I’ve been telling that to everybody.

Bill: Speaking of, any– any progress with katie?

Bill: I was actually hoping that katie would join me on the stella maris, but that wasn’t in the cards.

Liam: You don’t know that. That could still happen down the line.

Bill: Well, in the meantime, your dad is flying solo. Hey, you know what? When you’re done in rome, you should bring hope to the stella maris. I’ll– I’ll make myself scarce.

Liam: Really?

Bill: Yes. You guys need some alone time.

Liam: That’s like, incredible. Thank you.

Bill: You two need to decompress. Spend a few days on the yacht.

Liam: I– I totally agree. I think that’s great. In fact, I think hope would love knowing it’s– it’s just the two of us, like a little getaway together.

Eric: Thanks, carter. All right, good luck. All right, everything is moving ahead.

Paris: Ooh, everything’s running smoothly?

Eric: Yeah, they’re about to start.

Zende: All right, so then they’ll be starting right on time.

Eric: Well, carter runs a tight ship, you know that.

Paris: Ooh, have you seen the location?

Zende: The piazza navona.

Eric: Che magnifica!

Paris: It is stunning.

Rj: That’s a sick place. I’m not gonna lie. You guys got the hook-up in rome, I see.

Eric: Well, we’ve always had a really good relationship with our italian partners.

Zende: And press is coming from all across the globe to cover this event.

Eric: You and thomas really hit it out of the park.

Zende: Thanks, granddad.

Eric: And paris, thank you. You’ve really elevated the philanthropic division. You’ve really done a great job.

Paris: Thank you, eric. It’s honestly been such a rewarding experience. And I’m just glad I got to help hope with her speech before she left. It’s through her leadership that we can bring about real, positive social change and touch so many lives.

Eric: Well, it’s going to be a big event for everybody. For the– for the corporation and for thomas, and for hope especially.

Ridge: Welcome. Thank you for coming.

Steffy: Ginevra, it is so good to see you. We’re so happy to have you here.

Ginevra: Trust me, I wouldn’t miss this.

Ridge: Just glad you’re here.

Ginevra: Thank you for having me.

Ridge: Of course.

Steffy: Well, let us know if you need anything and enjoy the show.

Ginevra: Thank you so much.

Hope: Yes to the bracelet. I don’t know, let’s kill the necklace.

Carter: Okay, how’s everything going back here?

Hope: Yeah, it– it’s going very well. Except my mother somehow managed to get lost on her way over here.

Brooke: Thank you. Honey, you know me. I’m directionally challenged. I took a wrong turn trying to find the piazza. I don’t know. I– I just got turned around.

Carter: Well, you made it. That’s what’s important and you both look beautiful.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Thank you.

Hope: You don’t look too shabby of yourself.

Carter: Aw, thank you. You got this.

Hope: Thank you. And I still haven’t heard from liam, and that is very unlike him. So, I’m going to try texting one more time, letting him know how much I love and miss him and wish that he was here.

Brooke: Ooh, that’s so cute, so sweet. You stay so connected with him when he’s thousands of miles away.

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: Okay, we are almost ready to start. How’s it going?

Hope: It’s good, it’s just you know, nerves and adrenaline flowing.

Thomas: Of course, of course, yeah. It’s exhilarating though, right? I mean, being here at the piazza navona, bringing your new line to life.

Hope: Feels like a dream come true.

Thomas: It should feel like a dream come true. It’s amazing. It’s incredible. And you are going to be sensational. And I got to say, your line is incredible and I am just so proud to be here for you and to be a part of this line, bringing it to life. So just go out there and– and shine. Well, why am I saying that? Of course, you’re going to shine, so go out there and be you. Febreze!

Rj: There you go.

Paris: Ooh, maybe I need to ease up on the coffee a little bit. I’m just really nervous. And I just hope everything goes well in rome.

Eric: I’m sure it will. Come on. Carter’s got an excellent crew going. Everything’s in place.

Rj: Yeah, well, let’s keep in mind, you know, it still is a logan/forrester event, so let’s just keep sending out the no-drama vibes with hope.

Paris: Hey, rj, don’t jinx us. We’re on a roll here.

Zende: I have to say, thomas seemed pretty cool and collected when I spoke to him a bit ago. He also had some breaking news.

Paris: About what?

Zende: Brooke will be joining hope on stage wearing one of the looks.

Paris: Oh, that’s brilliant. The press will totally eat that up. Brooke is a massive celebrity in the fashion world.

Eric: Let me guess, ridge’s idea?

Zende: Yep.

Eric: Of course, I would say that rome is having a big impact on your parents.

Bill: You getting hungry?

Liam: Honestly, I think I’m just too excited to eat.

Bill: Save room for that pasta. Nothing like a true italian meal.

Liam: Yeah, what am I doing? I know there’s no service, I gotta stop.

Bill: Yeah, I know. It’s really inconvenient. The good news is, wyatt can’t text you busting your chops about anything.

Liam: Ooh, that’s– that’s a great point. Honestly, I’m just grateful for the ride. Hopefully I– I make it in time for the photo shoot.

Bill: Well, you’re doing your best to be there, you’re making a tremendous effort. That’s a gift in and of itself.

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. It’s just like, I don’t want to miss anything, you know?

Bill: Well, the jet’s going full throttle. Before you know it, you’ll– you’ll be there and you can wine and dine your wife, romance the heck out of her. Show her how much she means to you.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. I can picture it now, hope standing there in all her glory. She’s going to be so surprised when she sees me.

[ Music: Lyrics in italian ]

Photographer: This way.

Carter: Just fine, huh?

Brooke: [Indistinct] If you have heart disease and are on a statin,

I can see clearly

I feel like

our dream came true

suddenly

you feel with me

a sound that’s never been

so pure

your fear in my eyes

your beautiful smile

believe this is happening

to me, this love

the songs are for us

they’re waking me up

I see you, baby, by my side

your fear in my eyes

your beautiful smile

believe this is happening

to me, this love

the songs are for us

they’re waking me up

I see you, baby, by my side

I see you, baby, by my side

I see you, baby, by my side

I see you, baby, by my side

I see you, baby, by my side

Liam: What, er, what did the pilot say?

Bill: We should be landing soon.

Liam: Yeah, but like how soon?

Bill: Depends on air traffic.

Liam: Shoot. Okay.

Bill: When’s the event start?

Liam: I mean, I think it’s happening now.

Bill: All right, well, relax, romeo. I have a car waiting for you on the tarmac, will take you straight to the shoot.

Liam: Damn, you thought of everything. I ever told you what a mensch you are?

Bill: You have, but I can’t hear that too many times. I’m just glad I’m here to help.

Liam: If only if I– if I hadn’t been so foolish, you know, putting hope in between me and thomas. Like why? That’s such a waste. Like I– I believe in my wife. I have faith in her. She’s strong and capable and she can handle herself. She just– what she needs is my support, right? She needs to know that I love her and I’m there for her. And if I– if I could just– if I do that, I really think this could be a new beginning for us.

Carter: Ladies and gentlemen, the heart and soul of hope for the future, miss hope logan.

Hope: Grazie. Grazie. Um, thank you all so much for joining us here today. It is an honor to be here in beautiful roma, the city of eternal love. A city which holds a very special place in my heart. Your country has always welcomed forrester creations as if we were family, and we are very proud of this new collection. As we all know, fashion can be anything, from fun to glamorous to even pushing boundaries once in a while, but… it is a way for us to express ourselves and our identities, and here at hope for the future, we like to think that we stand for something more than just beautiful clothes. For us, it’s about creating fashion with a social conscience because it’s our responsibility to be mindful of what kind of world we want to leave our children and our grandchildren. Because it’s our responsibility to nurture and to protect our world for future generations.

[ Crowd applauding ] Thank you, but I– I couldn’t do any of this alone. I am surrounded by some of the most hardworking, dedicated team. They’ve stuck by my side, but none of which have been more important to our success than our brilliant and talented, lead designer, thomas forrester. Thomas, would you join me, please?

[ Applause ] Now, we all know thomas is a brilliant artist. He is the creative force behind the look and the feel of this latest collection and I am deeply, deeply fortunate to have his foresight and his imagination because he has an unparalleled gift for fashion, as we all witnessed here today. So on that note, thomas, we will be accepting questions.

[ Overlapping talking ]

Hope: Yes.

Reporter: Hope and thomas, can we get a photo of you two together?

Thomas: Of course. Sure, yeah.

[ Applause ]

Reporter 2: Look at each other, please.

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Man, I hope faith can get some sleep.

Sharon: Yeah. I hope she can get the sewer smell off of her. It’s a constant reminder of what she’s been through.

Nick: Of what you went through too. You know, I can stick around and make sure everything’s locked up until you get cleaned up yourself.

Sharon: Well, with victor’s security team and all the cops hovering, I think we’re okay. You should get to the hospital and check on sally. Faith and I can look after each other.

Nick: Nah, I– I don’t want to leave you until I know you’re safe.

Sharon: I think we’re safe. Go. Go check on sally and then you need to get some sleep too.

[ Nick exhaling ]

Nick: Yeah, I probably should go.

Sharon: I will call you if anything happens and you do the same, but cameron’s gone, faith is fine and it’s all good news from here.

Nick: Hope you’re right.

Sally: How could you do this?

Adam: I don’t understand.

Sally: I don’t either. So please, find the words because the last thing I remember is I was pregnant with our little girl and now, she’s gone?

Adam: I had to make a decision. Your symptoms, they were getting worse. Elena gave me no time. You were unconscious. I mean, who lives and who dies? This wasn’t a scenario that we discussed. They said that there was a chance that they could only save one of you and it was too soon for her. Her lungs, they wouldn’t be ready.

Sally: So, you just told the doctor…

Adam: I chose you. How could I not?

Sally: You chose me over her?

Adam: No. Look, when you say it like that, that’s not–

Sally: Why? Why would you?

Adam: How could I not?

Sally: She was my everything.

Adam: I couldn’t lose you.

Sally: But you already did, adam. You made that choice a long time ago. I’m not yours anymore. I was hers and she was mine. She was all I had and you let her die! You didn’t even– you didn’t even try and fight for her!

Adam: This– sally, this was the hardest decision of my entire life.

Sally: Could you just not envision a life where someone actually needed you, where you had to step up, possibly on your own, and be the man that nobody thinks you could be?

Adam: I thought that I was making the right choice.

Sally: You destroyed her life. And mine.

Adam: This is not fair, okay? This– this– it’s not–

Sally: Fair? Fair? You want fair? I just lost my baby, my reason. The life that we created and you want fair? I want the life that was ripped out of me! Can you give me that? Can you? With all of your power and your connections, can you give me what was taken away?

Adam: It was taken from us, sally.

Sally: Exactly. She had no one but us.

Adam: Okay. I’m– I’m worried about you.

Sally: Well, you should’ve been worried about her, adam, because she had no one to fight for her but us and I couldn’t do it, but you could and you forced me to let her down. But I promised her that I wasn’t gonna let her down or leave her to fight for herself the way that my parents did to me and that is exactly what she had to do! God! Oh, my god! Someone needs to stop this from hurting so much!

Adam: Do you– do you need the doctor?

Sally: No, I want her! I want her, adam, but you let her die. You’re the reason that she’s dead.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… look in that mirror and ask,

Sally: If you loved me at all…

Adam: You know I do.

Sally: Then you should’ve known and saved her.

Adam: I couldn’t let you go.

Sally: But she was your daughter. Your blood. You should have fought for her. Who are you?

Adam: I’m the man that is here for you. I fought for you, sally.

Sally: But I didn’t need saving, adam. There had to have been something they could have done.

Adam: She needs more than friends and a father. She needs you.

Sally: Yes, I know, I know, so you should’ve just let me go with her.

Adam: No, no, no. Okay. Don’t say that.

Sally: No, I’m serious. I don’t want to be here without her. I just want my baby.

Adam: Sally, don’t do this to yourself.

Sally: This was done to me, adam. By you. I didn’t even want this. I was terrified of being a mom because I didn’t– I didn’t want to fail my child the way that my mom failed me, but then… you got me pregnant. And you made me love her. And you told me everything was gonna be okay, and now she’s gone. Maybe I just didn’t do enough.

Adam: Of course, you did.

Sally: I was just happier than I’ve ever been because I was gonna bring her into this world. She was– she was gonna be better than me. She was gonna be my game changer and I was gonna give her the life that I never had and if I couldn’t, I trusted– I trusted that you could. And now, there’s just nothing.

Adam: Sally, you were in critical condition, okay? You… you could have died.

Sally: You loved her, didn’t you?

Adam: With all my heart.

Sally: And you would’ve taken care of her and given her a family and a world beyond her wildest dreams.

Adam: It wouldn’t be much of a world without you.

Sally: But you… you would’ve loved her and you would’ve given her to care and attention that a little girl needs?

Adam: I would’ve spoiled her rotten. There’s nothing that I wouldn’t have done for her. Or you, sally. We would’ve spoiled her rotten. We would’ve given her the moon as a toy.

Sally: You would’ve done anything for her.

Adam: That’s right.

Sally: Anything but let me go.

Adam: You– you had to be in the world, sally. You had to live.

Sally: Get out.

Adam: Sally–

Sally: No, get out.

Adam: Sally–

Sally: Get out, please. I’m awake and I’m saying these words that I couldn’t say when you were letting our little girl die. I do not want you. I want her. I want our baby. I just want my baby.

Elena: Sally? Sally, hey. Look at me, look at me.

Sally: No.

Elena: What’s going on? Are you in pain?

Sally: Yes.

Elena: Okay, adam, I think it’s time. Give us some–

Adam: I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry. I– I’m just– I’m trying to explain to you.

Elena: It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. Take a breather.

[ Sally sobbing ] Deep breaths.

[ Adam sighing ]

Sharon: Oh, gosh, faith.

Faith: I didn’t mean to scare you.

Sharon: That’s all right. It’s actually nice to know that I still have some adrenaline. I thought you were trying to sleep.

Faith: I missed you and I was kind of freaked out being up there alone.

Sharon: Well, that’s understandable, you know, um, after everything you’ve been through.

Faith: Feels like nothing will ever be normal again. What’s that?

Sharon: Um, that’s just something that chance left here when we were looking for you. He thought it might be evidence that would help us find where cameron was hiding.

Faith: Can you– can you put it outside until the cops come to pick it up?

Sharon: Yeah. Yeah, I’ll– I’ll put it out on the porch. I used to wait to run my dishwasher With cirkul, your wa 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 (buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Sally being examined?

Adam: She’s, uh, she’s with elena.

Nick: It’s just precautionary, right?

Adam: Look, I, um, I wanted to tell you this face-to-face.

Nick: Tell me what?

Adam: When you talked to sally on the phone tonight–

Nick: Yeah, I was– I was with sharon. Uh, seems like a lifetime ago. It was before cameron showed up.

Adam: Right. She was frustrated from being cooped up, okay? She was worried about you, what you were doing, so she wouldn’t sleep. She was threatening to leave if she didn’t get some food that wasn’t room service, so I took her out.

Nick: Oh, come on, man. You were supposed to keep her blood pressure low.

Adam: I know that. Don’t you think that I know that? I wish to god– we were having a good time, okay? We were laughing, we were relaxed. I was trying to keep her mind off of what you were doing with faith and sharon, but her headache would not go away, so I brought her in and I reassured her that everything was going to be okay. They gave her medicine and we waited for it to work, but nothing helped.

Nick: I mean, okay. Wait, sally, I–

Adam: We called you about a hundred times.

Nick: Yeah, I couldn’t answer.

Adam: And what was more important than being with sally?

Nick: Things were getting out of control for us, man. It was life and death.

Adam: Yeah, for us too.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Adam: Nick, you don’t have a damned clue about what we went through. I mean, everything that could’ve gone wrong went wrong.

Nick: What are you saying, adam?

Adam: The baby… she didn’t make it. Our little girl is gone.

Sharon: I guess I have my answer to how far I would go to keep you safe.

Faith: Were you scared when I was gone?

Sharon: Are you kidding? I was terrified.

Faith: Because I wasn’T. Maybe a little, but I knew you would find me.

Sharon: And I knew that you were doing everything you could to stay alive until I got to you. I’m so proud of you.

Faith: You’re the one who saved our lives.

Sharon: For selfish reasons. I love you too much.

Faith: I’m okay with that.

Sharon: Cameron won’t be coming back ever again. There’s no question that he is very dead.

Faith: Thanks to you.

Nick: Adam, I, uh, I don’t know what to say.

Adam: Because there is nothing, so don’t try.

Elena: Hey, nick.

Nick: Hey. Can I see her?

Elena: Yeah. She was just asking about you. Go on in. She’s been through a lot tonight. Looks like you have too.

Nick: I won’t keep her long.

Elena: Okay.

[ Sally whimpering ]

Nick: I’m so sorry. I should’ve been here.

Sally: It should’ve been me.

Nick: What should’ve been you?

Sally: Adam had a choice. To choose between me or the baby and he chose me.

Nick: It was the right choice. I think he chose right, don’t you?

Sally: I already had my life. I’ve tried and I’ve screwed up so many times, but she was pure and perfect and she had her whole life ahead of her. She was… she was going to be feisty and spirited. You would’ve loved her.

Nick: Of course, I would’ve.

Sally: I would’ve made a different choice.

Nick: Look, um, I know how much you hate this, I hate it too, sally, but you got a lot of people who love you. You’re gonna get through this.

Sally: What if this was a test to see if I could be good? I failed. I failed her. She needed me. I need her.

[ Sally sobbing ]

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: Look, the only thing– they don’t want me to be in here too long, so you’ve gotta– you’ve gotta just get some rest, okay?

Sally: No. No. Please just– please. Just let me go. Just let me go.

[ Sally sobbing ] If you have heart disease and are on a statin,

Elena: Hey, adam?

Adam: Hm?

Elena: It’s important to remember that sally’s not the only person who lost a baby tonight. So, be kind to yourself, okay? A memento.

Adam: What is it? How’s she doing?

Nick: She said she could use something to help her sleep.

Elena: I already put a note in her chart. Something should be here soon.

Nick: Thanks, elena.

Elena: You both should go home. Get some rest. Sally’s already exhausted and you’ve all been through a lot. Good night.

Nick: Good night.

Adam: Good night.

[ Nick sighing ] Man, you look like hell.

Nick: You should see the other guy.

[ Adam chuckling ] I could use a drink. You wanna go somewhere to talk?

Adam: Um, just, there’s something that I need to do first, but uh, meet you at society?

Nick: Yeah.

Elena: I’m so sorry. I really wish things had turned out differently.

Sally: These things happen, right?

Elena: Doesn’t make it any easier. If you want to talk about it…

Sally: Maybe later.

Elena: Or I could just sit here and not talk, if you don’t want to be alone.

Sally: What I’d really like to do is sleep.

Elena: Okay. The nurses should be bringing in your sleep aid soon.

Sally: Thank you.

Elena: The thing that we talked about doing, when you’re up to it, if you change your mind about seeing her.

Sally: I won’T.

Elena: There’s a button on the side of your bed. You just press it and you tell them what you want. This is a gift from the nurses. Good night, sally.

Sally: Good night.

Adam: Thanks.

Nick: Yeah.

Adam: Well, um, I’m sure that you wanna hear the rest of the story. Sure that you’re gonna hear it from her when she’s up to it.

Nick: So, I guess they put her on medication and it wasn’t working?

Adam: The, um, the condition that they warned her about, the eclampsia, they just– they said that they had to induce labor. There– there was a risk, there wasn’t any time and I understood the risks, but you know, the worst thing that could happen, it never happens.

Nick: But it did tonight.

Adam: There was a complication and elena said– she said I had to make a decision. She said if you had to choose only one, who would you choose? Would you choose sally or the baby? And I mean… I mean could you imagine such a thing?

Nick: Yeah, actually, I can.

Adam: I chose sally.

Nick: Well, I’m sorry that you had to make that choice alone, adam. But, I’m glad you were there. Thank you.

Adam: Well, I didn’t do it for your gratitude. I mean, I’m the last person that she wanted to see after I told her what they made me do. I mean, she blames me for everything. I mean, I don’t know. Maybe you would’ve made a different decision.

Nick: It was never my place to make any decisions about sally or the baby. That was all you. The three of you.

Adam: The three of us.

Nick: Look, uh…

[ Nick sighing ] I know this is probably not gonna make you feel any better right now, but you did the right thing, adam.

Adam: I just– I couldn’t imagine a world without sally in it… and now she’s alive, but she’ll never forgive me.

…I’m over 45.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

[ Adam groaning ]

Adam: You know, they say your world can change in the blink of an eye and I– I swear to you, it was faster than…

[ Finger snapping ] …That.

Nick: I’m never gonna be able to convince you it’s not your fault, am I?

Adam: It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not because all I care about is sally. Or if she’s okay, her well-being. God, yeah, I was really looking forward to getting to know that little girl. I was ready to give her the world. I would’ve given my life for her and now, we’re just– we’re just supposed to go on. The sun still comes up, the world keeps spinning without her in it. How are we supposed to do that?

Nick: I don’t know, adam, but we do. We endure.

Adam: Look, um, you should– you should go home.

Nick: No, I don’t have to.

Adam: No, come on. I mean, you should be with sharon and you should be with faith. They need you more than I do.

Nick: You sure?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: All right.

[ Adam sighing ]

[ Adam sniffling ]

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally sobbing ]

Sally: No. Okay. Your name… is ava… hope… spectra. You’re the daughter of sally spectra and adam newman. Oh, you were the light of our lives. Oh, they said that I could hold you, but– I just have to press a button, but… I’m so afraid that you’re gonna be disappointed in me. Please don’t hate me. Oh. God, I wish I had a lifetime with you. I loved you your whole life. I know it wasn’t very long, but… there was a joy and a lightness that I never had. I finally had that slice of happiness I’d always seen in other people. And I wasn’t alone anymore. I was never gonna be alone again. Somebody to love… and loved me. Maybe you were more than I deserved.

Faith: Dad.

Sharon: Hey. How’s sally? How’s the baby? Is everything okay?

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: The baby, um… there was a procedure. The baby didn’t make it.

Faith: Oh, my god. That can’t be what happened.

Nick: I’ll tell you all about it later, faith. Just know that sally’s okay. As okay as she could be.

Faith: I’m so sorry.

Sharon: Wow. Um, how’s adam?

Nick: Uh, struggling. Um, you know, sally’s gonna be fine. She’s got me and chloe, but adam…

Sharon: He’s got no one.

Nick: God only knows how he will deal with it.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Damn. – We got this! – Great! – Bye!

[ Adam sighing ]

Victor: Sorry for your loss.

Adam: Thank you.

Victor: How’s sally?

Adam: She hates me, but she’ll be just fine. At least, that’s what they say anyway. I mean, how is a person supposed to bounce back after everything goes out of control? I mean, no matter how many prayers you say, no matter how many times that I apologize for doing something wrong, nothing changes, dad. I mean, I thought this time, it would be different. I thought, “I’m gonna be good.” This is a chance for me to do it right. A new baby. So, I’m gonna pay attention. I’m gonna do things right. I’m gonna cherish every moment. There’s something in me. I did this to her. There’s something corrupt in me, did this.

Victor: Son–

Adam: No, it has to be me. I’m the one that causes problems with connor. I mean, there’s something in my genetic makeup that just ruins things. One touch from me and it’S…

Victor: What’s her name?

Adam: Her name… it was ava.

Victor: Ava. That’s a beautiful name. Wish I’d known her.

Adam: I wish you had known her too. You guys could have… never mind.

Victor: If it helps you at all to know that I’ve gone through something like this, hm?

Adam: What did you do?

Victor: I turned away from everyone. Big mistake. What you do in moments like this is you turn to people who love you.

Adam: Who the hell would that be? I mean, I look around, I– I’m alone. There’s no sally, no siblings, no daughter. Nuh-uh. I have to get through this alone.

Victor: No, son, you don’T.

[ Nick sighing ]

Sharon: You’re, uh, welcome to the guest room.

Nick: Thanks. I should probably get home to christian, but if you’re not in a rush to go to bed…

Sharon: Stay as long as you like. Sad news about the baby.

Nick: Yeah. Real sad. I mean, you’re always looking out for everyone else.

Sharon: That’s because I’m fine.

Nick: I know what it’s like to kill a man, sharon. What you did was justified. You saved all of our lives.

Sharon: You would’ve done the same thing.

Nick: Well, that’s how I know. Until you deal with those emotions, you’re never gonna be able to move forward. What we did will haunt you and grow in size until you face it and stare it down. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Victor: You must know that you have people in your life who have experienced, you know, big losses. I mean, they’d be–

Adam: What? What? Happy to see my life in shambles again? So what, they can smugly hold it over my head?

Victor: Son. I want you to know that I’ll always be there for you. I’ll be there for sally, I’ll be there for connor. All you have to do is ask.

Adam: All that I want is forgiveness from sally and that is not gonna happen.

Victor: Look, you can’t expect that right now. This is– this is– she’s in a very emotional–

Adam: Listen, it doesn’t matter, okay? It doesn’t matter. I appreciate you trying, but nothing matters anymore.

Sharon: You know, it may not seem like I am processing recent events, but…

Nick: It’s in your system now, sharon. You can try and process it on your own, but until you talk about it with someone in real terms– you know, it’s ugly and terrifying, but if you just try and stuff those feelings down, it’s gonna come back and screw up your life in other ways. It doesn’t just go away.

Sharon: And where did you get advice like that?

Nick: Oh, it’s uh, this good friend of mine. She told me that after I… killed the man that was hurting my sister.

Sharon: Well, she gave you very good advice.

Nick: She did. She’s real smart. You’d like her.

[ Sharon chuckling ] So, tell me what happened. You know, talk me through it.

Sharon: That animal had my daughter strapped with enough explosives to level a building and I promised her that I would do whatever it took to keep her safe and that is what I did. I killed the man who was trying to hurt my child and if it ever happened again, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Nick: And how are you doing with that?

Sharon: Honestly, nick? I feel alive. Like, activated. Like I’ve been asleep since rey died, just pouring coffee and listening to other people’s problems and now… now, I’m awake.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Oh, your life was brief. But you changed me. Because of you, I smiled at the silliest things. I’d just stop in the middle of the day and smile because… I was gonna be someone’s mom. I was gonna be your mom. And I’m so sorry that we don’t get the life that I promised you, but I promise, I promise that I will always love you and I will always be your mom and I will never forget you. Oh, god. Oh, I know I have to say goodbye to you. I know, I know, I know, I know. Okay. I’m gonna do it while I hold you, okay? Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. Hello? Yes, I would… I would like to see my baby now, if that’s okay.

[ Sally sobbing ] Okay.

[ Romantic music ]

Brooke: The colosseum has withstood the test of time. It has. It’s endured so much, just like you and me. Please tell me you believe in us.

Ridge: I want to.

Liam: Yeah. Okay, so obviously a direct flight is not gonna work. What do you– what do you have in terms of connections? Do you have anything? You do? That– okay, that’s fantastic. So, now what– what time would that put me in rome? No, no, no, no, that’s– that’s way too long. I can’t wait that long. I– I know that you’re trying, I’m not saying you’re not trying. I– I’ll call back. You know that when I text you, you don’t have to drive all the way over here, right?

Bill: You reschedule a meeting, you tell me you’re flying to rome and not to tell anyone. You think I’m not gonna check in on my son? What the hell’s going on?

Liam: I’m– I was trying to fly to italy to be with my wife.

Hope: What do you think?

Thomas: It’s like your fourth or fifth draft, right?

Hope: Yep. I’ve been working on it on and off for a few weeks now.

Thomas: I wouldn’t change a word.

Hope: Really?

Thomas: Yeah. Really. I mean, the way that you talk about your line and what you wanna do, how you wanna help people, you wanna help the environment and young women through fashion. Just the inspiration that it shows and– and that– the spirit that you have that comes through in every single word, it– any person who hears this tomorrow is gonna love you even more than they already do.

Hope: I needed to hear that.

Thomas: They’re gonna love you.

Hope: No, they’re going to love us because this was a team effort and sure, I might have had the vision, but you– you were the one who brought it to life with your creativity and your imagination. I mean, thomas, sometimes I don’t think you even realize how talented you are.

Thomas: Thank you.

Hope: Like I said, I mean, we’re hope for the future now and there can’t be one without the other and I am just so, so grateful to be here in this magical city with you.

Bill: You’re going to see hope?

Liam: That was the plan. Yeah, I mean, I already spoke to eric and donna. They agreed to watch the kids. I– I was trying to make it to– to the press event, but I can’t– I can’t find a flight that gets out of here soon enough.

Bill: I’m confused. Wyatt said you were staying with us.

Liam: No, I said, yeah, he did– I said– I did tell him that, but then I– I changed my mind last minute.

Bill: Why? What happened?

Liam: I just– I just realized I wanted to be over there with my wife. Why? Is that weird?

Bill: Well, no, of course, it’s not weird. I know how proud you are of hope and what a big deal rome is to her and her line.

Liam: Yes, it is. It’s a big, it’s a huge deal and I wanna be there to share that moment with her. I was just– no matter how much I want it to happen, I don’t– I don’t think it’s going to.

Bill: You think you might be forgetting something.

Liam: What?

Bill: My jet.

[ Bill chuckling ]

Hope: What are you doing?

Thomas: You know, there’s nothing like being in rome to make you inspired. You walk down the streets and you get, like, the amazing food, the– the– the awesome people, the architecture, the history, the art, it’s just so much to bring it out of me. What?

Hope: Nothing. I just, I– I like seeing you like this. I mean, you’re never more alive than when you’re sketching. Oh, or when you’re teaching douglas something new.

Thomas: Ah, or him teaching me because we have an incredibly smart kid on our hands.

Hope: Mm, that is very true. Incredibly smart and incredibly kind.

Thomas: Yes. Yes, he is. Um, you know, I– I think– I think I wanna do something special with him. You know, I– I– I– I wanna, like, take him somewhere, just the two of us. Maybe we can go camping or something. Make up for some of the time we’ve lost.

Hope: I know he would love that, but he also understands how important this is for both of us and I don’t think he holds it against us.

Steffy: Who’s holding what against who?

Thomas: We were actually wondering what happened to you two.

Carter: It’s insane. Everyone wants a sneak peek at the collection. Not that we give it to them, but.

Steffy: They wanna see it and they’re willing to do anything for it.

Carter: So you guys ready to check out the location for tomorrow? Make sure it’s everything you have in mind?

Hope: Well, I am sure it’s perfect because how could it not be? We’re here in rome and I can’t imagine a better backdrop for our collection than this.

Brooke: Well, just trust me. Let me lead the way.

Ridge: You’re gonna lead the way?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: You’re gonna get us lost.

Brooke: Well, that’s true, but not when it comes to you and me. Come on, let’s go.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Carter: Okay, so I’ve coordinated with the photographer and the digital team, hair and makeup as well. They’re all set.

Steffy: Carter and I have been schmoozing with the press.

Carter: It’s no secret there’s a crazy buzz about the showcase tomorrow.

Steffy: How’s your speech coming along? Is it wrapped up?

Hope: Uh, mostly.

Steffy: Oh, I thought you would have nailed it by now.

Thomas: Well, you know hope. She, uh, she wants to make sure every word counts. It’s an opportunity to really reach a lot of people and so she’s choosing every word carefully.

Carter: Mm. Sounds like someone’s gotten a sneak peek.

Hope: Well, I wanted thomas’s feedback. You know, if anyone understands hope for the future and in particular, this collection, it– it would be my lead designer.

Thomas: Well, thank you, but I could never put it in the words that you have. You have this eloquence and passion. It’s incredible and everyone’s gonna love it.

Steffy: You two just love singing each other’s praises.

Thomas: Well, we’re a team, right? So we respect each other’s contributions. Do you have a problem with that?

Steffy: No, no, just an observation.

Hope: Well, one thing I do know for certain is that we wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for thomas. I mean, we all know hope for the future was struggling. Steffy was about to pull the plug and–

Steffy: I– I didn’t want to do that, hope.

Hope: Well, I know, obviously. You would have if you wanted to, but you didn’t because you knew that your brother could turn it around. And you were right. I mean, I mean, thomas, you jumped back in and you practically turned things around overnight.

Carter: And here we are. A day away from showcasing some of your most beautiful, elegant designs to the world in the most beautiful, elegant city in the world. Doesn’t get better than that, right?

Thomas: Tomorrow is gonna be amazing, but not just because of my designs. Also because of hope’s speech. It’s gonna be amazing and you’re gonna kill it. I have no doubt.

Liam: Hope and thomas in rome together, it’s just not an imagery that inspires a ton of confidence in me. That’s all. Whatever, it doesn’t– I know I sound paranoid.

Bill: No, son. You are looking out for the woman you love and I would do the exact same thing.

Liam: Yes. Yes. I do love her. I love her so much, which is why it is so frustrating that she lets her guard down when it comes to thomas. And she– you know, she doesn’t see it that way. She– she says that she would be the first one to read the signs if he started to relapse and she would, you know, take the appropriate steps or whatever.

Bill: Right, cut him loose if he crossed any lines.

Liam: Yeah, but, like, that’s not how it works. I mean, they are so entwined at the office, you know? Like, as hope puts it, we are hope for the future, which I’m sure thomas loves hearing. And plus they co-parent douglas, which means–

Bill: They’re connected on many different levels.

Liam: Yes. And it would be so easy for him to misread that. You know, to start reading into things, to– to let his obsession fester again and I just– I– this is why me being in rome with hope, it just, it might be a nice little reminder to thomas, like, don’t– don’t go there.

Bill: Then you should definitely go.

Liam: Yeah, I should, I should definitely go. But, dad, see everything I just said, that’s not even the reason I should go. The real reason I should go is because I just want to be there with my wife. I wanna support hope.

Bill: It’s understandable.

Liam: Also, I think maybe after the event, hope and i could spend some much needed private time together. Connect a little bit, recharge. I think we need that so badly at this point.

Bill: Say no more. It’s done.

Liam: What’s– what’s done?

Bill: I’m headed to europe anyway. Jet’s ready to go. You and I are going to rome.

Brooke: Now, this is statue garibaldine. You like?

Ridge: I like.

Brooke: Okay, what is that twinkle in your eye?

Ridge: I had an idea. I think it’s a really good idea.

Brooke: Uh-oh. I’m afraid to ask.

Ridge: How about this? How about you wear one of hope’s gowns tomorrow at the preview?

Brooke: That is my daughter’s line.

Ridge: I know, but think of this: Mother and daughter are together, the press would eat this up. I mean, look at you. You’re as beautiful as the city. You’ve been the face of forrester for so long. What do you say? I need you. (Man) what if my type 2 diabetes takes over?

Bill: Hey, sarah. Uh, listen, we got a slight, uh, change in the flight plan. Still going to stella maris, but we’re gonna drop my son, liam, off in rome first. Yeah. Okay, thanks. All right, done.

Liam: Father of the year right here. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Thank you.

Bill: Happy to do it, son. All right, let’s go. Let’s get you to the jet and off to rome to see hope.

Liam: Yeah!

Carter: There it is, where we are holding the preview. Piazza navona, home of the magnificent statue of the four rivers created by gian lorenzo bernini, one of the greatest baroque artists of his time.

Steffy: Wow. I’m impressed.

Carter: So what do you think, hope? Will this work for showcasing your line?

Hope: Yes, I– I do think that this is going to work. Absolutely. I mean, how did– how did you get this to happen?

Thomas: Yeah, and did you just memorize the whole brochure before or what happened there?

Hope: You know, I actually did read that piazza navona was created as a race track by a roman emperor.

Carter: Well, that fits because I’ll be racing around from now until the showing, so that works.

Steffy: Carter, what you pulled off is nothing short of miraculous. Locking this place, the contracts you got signed and notarized. I’m confident tomorrow is going to be a huge success.

Thomas: Yeah, well, how could it not be? With all of us and with hope, front and center.

Ridge: So you’re sure you know where you’re going?

Brooke: Uh, yes. Uh, no. But since I’m a history buff–

Ridge: A history buff? Since when?

Brooke: Since today.

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: This is…

Ridge: A cannon.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: It’s more than just a cannon. This is il cannone del giancolo, a very important cannon. It goes up at the same time every single day since 1842, but not during the second world war.

Ridge: No, huh? You are a history buff and a tour guide. This is amazing. What else? What else you got?

Brooke: Okay, you’re making fun of me.

Ridge: Yeah. No. Can’t make fun of somebody like you, who’s gonna be in the preview tomorrow.

Brooke: Since you’re making me do that, I’m gonna make you do something. You’re gonna put on a roman suit of armor and you’re gonna model with me.

Ridge: Yeah, I know.

Brooke: Oh, wait, better yet. You’re gonna wear a roman toga and you’re just gonna totally titillate the ladies.

Ridge: Yeah? No one needs to see that.

Brooke: I wanna see that.

Ridge: Where are we going?

Brooke: Uh, well, I know my nav was saying we’re nearly there.

Ridge: Nearly where?

Brooke: Nearly where I was taking you. Mm-hmm.

Ridge: You’re lost, aren’t you?

Brooke: Maybe. But there is one destination that I’m sure of. It’s you and me and our future together.

If you have this…

Sarah: Filed the new flight plan as you requested. Rome, then onto stella maris.

Bill: Thanks, sarah.

Liam: And like when are we taking off?

Sarah: Just doing final checks and waiting for clearance from atc.

Bill: Perfect. All right, relax, will you? We’re gonna have you there on time.

Liam: You’re a lifesaver. You know that right?

Bill: I need to know that, yes. Just call me dollar cupid. All right? Anything for true love.

Liam: Well, I tell you what, dollar cupid, thanks for working your magic. Hope is gonna be so surprised to see me.

Steffy: Okay, so we’ll have staging over here, easy access for entrances, and did you get the addition for pascal? He’s coming from cellino.

Carter: Yep. I have a contract ready just in case.

Steffy: Great.

Thomas: I am so excited and proud to be a part of this and it’s all because of you, hope.

Hope: I really couldn’t have done it without help, so thank you for being such an amazing partner. You are the gifted man behind my line and behind me.

Ridge: My love for you will never die. It’s not a question.

Brooke: But?

Ridge: But if we have to try so hard to make something work, maybe it doesn’t exist anymore.

Brooke: Ridge…

Ridge: Aren’t you tired of it? The pain and the heartache we keep causing each other over and over again? Trying to find a way to protect you, protect me, protect our kids. You understand that, right?

Brooke: Yeah, I understand.

Ridge: So this idea of coming to the city, any city, even here and thinking that we’ll find a love and that– that we will fall into each other’s arms, I just… I just don’t see it.

Brooke: This eternal city, it offers eternal love. Look, I am here to represent forrester. I’m also here to support my daughter and your son and watch their success, but I’m really here for another reason. Because I want to be able to believe that this could be a new beginning for you and me. I believe that. I want to be your logan again and I just need to get you to believe it, too.

[ Dinging ] If only I could show you a sign.

[ Cannon firing ]

[ Cheering & applauding ]

[ Brooke laughing ] See? A sign!

[ Cheering continues ]

Chance: Sharon, step away.

Faith: Mom, I thought he was going to kill you.

Sharon: It’s okay. I’m all right, sweetheart.

Chance: He’s dead. There’s no pulse.

Nick: Thank god, he’s out of our lives forever.

Chance: Did he hurt you? Are you okay?

Sharon: I’m fine. It’s faith. He has her wired with explosives.

Faith: Help me. Please help. Get these bombs off of me!

Chance: No, don’t touch them. Don’t touch them. They could blow.

Sally: Last thing I remember, I was talking to elena and I had headache, and… I was short of breath… did I pass out?

Adam: Um, I– I need to– I need to talk to elena and your doctors, I– to get more information. To understand all of the details, but I think, right now, you just– just need to rest.

Sally: You’re scaring me. Is something wrong? Is our little girl okay?

[ Sighs ] Where is our baby?

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: You know… we might have to cut back on some of our “corporate suite” meetings.

Victoria: And why would we do that? It’s one of my favorite perks.

[ Both laughing ]

Nate: I want to be able to give work my full attention during nick’s leave of absence.

Victoria: Oh. Well, I’d say, that’s even more reason for more after-hour sessions, right? I mean, given how closely we’ll be working together, and I’m not just gonna be discussing newman media with you, I’m gonna need you to be weighing in on all things newman.

Nate: Ooh, all newman, all the time.

[ Clicks tongue ] I like the sound of that.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Unless, of course, you find me too distracting.

Nick: Sweetheart, I know. As much as I want to just rip that explosive belt off you, we have to be very, very careful. I– I feel like if i breathe too hard, it’ll go off.

Chance: You two, step away, let me take a look, okay? All right. Can you tell me how he got this on you? Do you remember?

Faith: I don’t– I don’t know. I must have been passed out. I didn’t even realize that he’d done anything until he was threatening to set it off.

Sharon: The detonator’s over there. Nobody’s touched it. Can’t we just take the belt off of her?

Chance: No, it looks like these packs are rigged with sensors, so they could detonate on the spot. Also, wireless.

Faith: What does that mean?

Chance: Well, they could be triggered from a cellular or rf transmission point. The trigger could be anywhere. It might not even be here.

Sharon: Okay, so what do we do?

Chance: Well, before we take this off, the explosives are gonna have to be carefully deactivated. One by one.

Nick: And you can do that, right?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Adam: Sally, you need– you need to rest, okay? You can’t get worked up like this. The doctor said that you still gotta to watch your– your blood pressure.

Sally: You’re hiding something. This is my body, I clearly had a c-section, I–

[ Sighs ] I don’t feel great.

Adam: Well, that’s– that’s because you– you need to rest.

Sally: No, I’m not gonna relax until I have answers. What is going on? I– I remember the pain, and I remember, it kept getting worse. And then, I clearly, passed out. So, please… just tell me what happened.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Do you, um– do you remember when you were being admitted and elena said there might be a chance that they have to induce labor?

Sally: Yeah. ‘Cause of the preeclampsia?

Adam: Yes. Well, unfortunately, that happened and you lost consciousness, so they had to make a decision to do a c-section.

Sally: Okay, but the baby’s not supposed to be– supposed to be born ’til at least, 37 weeks.

Adam: Yes. It’s early.

Sally: She must be tiny.

[ Chuckles ] But that’s okay, ’cause they have really great neonatal intensive care unit, I checked.

Adam: Uh…

Sally: Okay. Okay. Um, I– I really need to be with our baby, so if she’s too little, then you can just have them bring me to her, and if not, you can…

[ Breathes deeply ] …Just take me to her.

[ Adam sniffles ] Okay, well, if you’re not going to– no, no. If you’re not going to help me–

Adam: Sally, stop, stop.

Sally: Oh, no, no, no, no.

Adam: Look at me.

Sally: No. No, no, please, just don’t–

Adam: During the c-section, there was a– there was a complication.

[ Sally breathes deeply ]

Sally: Well, that’s to be expected, right? With a pre-term birth and, you know, premature babies they– they thrive all the time and she’s strong. She’s strong. She’s got my spirit and your mother’s strength and she’s a spectra and she’s a newman and she is a warrior and she can handle anything this life… has to throws at her.

[ Sniffles ]

Adam: Not everything.

Sally: Are you telling me that our little girl… she’s not here?

Adam: She didn’t make it.

[ Sniffles ] And I am so sorry.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Nate: Is everything okay?

Victoria: Thanks. Yeah, just can’t stop thinking about nicholas. He was so excited to have faith home from school, and now, he’s got to deal with this cameron kirsten nut.

Nate: Hm. Yeah. He and sharon must be going out of their minds.

Victoria: I just hope he doesn’t do his usual thing.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: Try to take care of everything on his own.

[ Sighs ] He tends to fly off the handle and make things much worse.

Nate: Yeah, I heard that about him. Think he’ll do that again with this kirsten guy?

Victoria: He already has. That’s how he ended up in jail.

Nate: Right, but this guy is still causing problems. Why don’t they just call the police?

Victoria: They did. Chance, general, city police, even my father’s security team, they’re all trying to help.

Nate: Okay.

Victoria: It’s so nerve-wracking.

Nate: Well, it sounds like they have a lot of backup. And chance is well trained for situations like this. We just got to believe they’ll be able to get this guy and bring him to justice.

Victoria: I want to believe that.

Nate: Gimme that.

[ Victoria sighs ] Let me help you get through this. Whatever you need, I’m here for you.

Victoria: Thank you. I feel better already. Thank you.

Chance: When I was in the military, I had some training in disarming explosives like this.

Sharon: Hear that, faith? We couldn’t ask for a better person to do this.

[ Tools clattering ]

Chance: I’m gonna need some light, somebody’s got it?

Nick: Yeah, I got that.

Chance: Let me see this one. That’s great. Thank you. Okay, faith, I understand this is scary, but I’m going to need you to stay very still, all right? I’m going to work as fast as I can, but we’re in this together, okay?

Faith: If the bomb goes off, we both die? I trust you to keep me safe.

[ Chance sighs ]

Nick: You okay, chance?

Chance: Yeah.

Sharon: This isn’t like in spain. You didn’t have a chance to diffuse the explosive then, but you do now.

Chance: [ Sighs ] Okay, why don’t you two step back just in case?

Nick: No way, man. I have the light.

Sharon: And I have faith’s hand, and we’re not going anywhere. Type 2 diabetes? Discover the power of 3 in the ozempic tri-zone.

(Oh, oh, oh, ozempic!)

Nate: I know how to support you at work, but right now, I feel a little useless. I want you to be able to lean on me.

Victoria: You just being here, it helps. I don’t want to let my mind go to worst case scenarios.

Nate: Then don’T.

Victoria: You’re right. Until I hear something concrete from nick or my mom, I’m– I’m not going to waste any time worrying. It’s out of my hands anyway.

Nate: That is right.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: It’s not like it’s in my control at all. Cameron, he’s a wild card. There’s no telling–

Nate: Okay, stop, stop. You’re spending time worrying about something you have no control over. And I swear you just said you weren’t going to do that.

Victoria: Ah, you’re right. You’re right. It’s just that this situation is a powder keg. And nick landed in jail. He didn’t even lay a hand on cameron. My brother is a very fierce protector, but once that– that instinct is triggered, I mean, he doesn’t think rationally, he just reacts.

Nate: Okay, nick can be a loose cannon, but those situations involve nick acting alone. But this time, they brought in the authorities. Even a madman like cameron kirsten won’t stand a chance against that much protection.

Faith: How much longer?

Chance: Well, I have to cut the wire connected to the signal receiving antenna from each pack, one by one, so I know it’s tough to be patient, but you’re doing great.

Faith: So you’ve worked on this kind of bomb before?

Sharon: I’m sure chance has seen all kinds of things in his military work. Right, chance?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, I’ve seen similar. Okay. I’m going to cut the first red wire now and what I need you to do is, don’t breathe in too deeply, okay?

Faith: Okay. So, basically, don’t breathe?

Chance: Yeah, basically.

Faith: Ready when you are.

Chance: Okay.

[ Faith gasping ] All right. Five more to go.

Sharon: Well, now that you know it’s the red one… I mean, unless–

Chance: Why? You think cameron’s devious enough to change the pattern?

Faith: I love you both so much for being here with me, but if this doesn’t work–

Sharon: It’s going to work.

Faith: I don’t want all of us to die.

Nick: That’s not going to happen.

Chance: Just gotta figure out this logic. You got the black, white, the red. The red is the obvious. The red worked.

Sharon: Chance is so smart. You know, he’s skilled, he’s very brave. He’s going to make sure that this works. He’s going to get us out of this. I know it. And I’m going to hold your hand until he does so.

Faith: Dad.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere. You never abandon your kids. I would do this for any of my children. That’s what a father does.

Sharon: And that’s what a mother does, too. And one day, you’re going to learn how that feels.

Chance: I got the red, the white and the black. Or is it red, black, white?

Sally: This can’t be true.

Adam: Sally, I am so sorry.

[ Sally sobbing ] But it’s true. She didn’t make it. Our baby’s gone.

Sally: No. But how? But how? No, we were just talking about names and imagining exactly what she’d be like. We said that she was going to be strong willed and she was going to be a fighter and how can all that be gone? How can it be over? Because I wasn’t– I wasn’t even awake for her birth. I’ve never even met her.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Adam: I know. It all seems like a bad dream. I know.

Sally: No, this isn’t real.

[ Grunting ] It’s not real. It’s not real.

Adam: This isn’t good for you I need you to take some deep breaths, okay? Your body has been through a lot and you’re not out of danger. I really need you to rest.

Sally: No! No! Everyone kept telling me to rest and it didn’t help!

[ Grunts ] It didn’t help. I just need to figure out what happened. I need to know what happened, okay? I took– no, I took all my vitamins and I took my medication, and I tr– I tried so hard to be healthy and to not get stressed out and I clearly didn’t do enough.

Adam: No, no, you– you cannot think that way, okay?

Sally: No! Why? Why did I lose consciousness? Because if I had just been awake, I could have fought more and she wouldn’t have had to do it on her own and I could have helped her and we could have survived. We could have survived together. Listen to me, stop, stop! You did nothing wrong.

Sally: Then why? Why is our little girl gone?

[ Sobbing ] Why? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: You are the strongest person I’ve ever met, but you don’t have to do this alone. Whatever happens, I’m here for you.

Victoria: Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m going to take you up on it. I know. Everything’s going to be okay.

Nate: No question.

Victoria: But this situation, it’s– it’s going to take a toll on nick. He’s going to need to spend some time with faith. I think he’s probably going to need to take some time off.

Nate: Maybe. But he might also want to keep working. So let’s just… take this a step at a time and pray for the best outcome.

Victoria: Yeah. I don’t think I’m going to sleep anytime soon, though.

Nate: Do you wanna go home?

Victoria: No. That doesn’t feel right either.

Nate: Okay, um… how about we go back downstairs for a nightcap or some tea and wait for nikki with an update?

Victoria: Yeah, I like that. I don’t want to stay cooped up here anymore.

[ Nate chuckles ] I’m really glad you’re with me, though.

Nate: Me too.

[ Sally hissing in pain ]

Adam: Or maybe the nurse can, um, give you something to help you sleep.

Sally: Can you just send nick in, please?

Adam: Nick’s not here.

Sally: You didn’t call him? Adam, I’ve had enough of your stupid competitive games. Seriously…

Adam: That’s not what happened.

Sally: Are you that selfish that you are pushing nick away when I need him most? Please, I don’t care if he’s dealing with cameron. I don’t care if he’s dealing with cameron. He deserves to know.

Adam: Okay, I’ve called him. I’ve left him voicemails. I’m not trying to shut nick out. I’ve even reached out to our father to try to get in touch with him.

Sally: And he hasn’t answered?

Adam: Not yet.

Sally: Okay, then, something must be wrong.

Adam: Look, it’s late. He probably already has his phone off.

Sally: Yeah, we both know that that is not true, okay? He would be here. He would be here if he could be.

Adam: There’s probably plenty of reasons why he didn’t get his messages. He– he could be away from his phone or– or the battery might be dead.

Sally: Or he’s just dealing with his real family.

Adam: He is taking care of the cameron kirsten situation. We know that. But once he gets the voicemail, he will be here. It’s what he does.

Sally: But what if he can’t be?

Adam: It’s not an option. He shows up when people need him and you need him now. So, I promise you that he will be here for you.

Chance: It’s black. That’s got to be it. All right. I got this.

Sharon: Oh, my god. See, we’ve got this, faith. We’re almost there. We’re almost there.

Faith: In the movies, it’s always the last wire that makes the bomb blow up, but that’s not true in real life, is it?

Chance: Movies are seldom accurate.

Faith: That’s not a no.

Chance: All right, can I get you over here with the light?

Nick: Yeah. Yeah. You know, faith, you’ve been gone at school so long, you missed some of my new material. Two guys walked into a bar, third guy ducked. Get it?

Faith: Dad.

Nick: Right, right, you’re not supposed to laugh or even move.

Faith: That’s not why I didn’t laugh.

Sharon: No one would laugh at that.

Nick: All right.

Faith: Then, tell me something real. Something I can look forward to.

Nick: All right, how about this? Sally’s baby girl is going to be here pretty soon and she’s going to look up to you even more than christian does.

Sharon: And she’s gonna get to grow up playing with baby aria.

Faith: Double the fun. I love that.

Sharon: She’s going to be a very lucky little girl because your dad loves to spoil girls more than he does boys.

Nick: Not true. I’m an equal opportunity spoiler.

Faith: You are not.

Nick: All right, that might be true. I am looking forward to spoiling her. It’s one of the greatest joys in my life.

[ Chance sighs in relief ]

Chance: Okay. It’s done.

Sharon: What?

Faith: You mean it’s over?

Chance: Right, take it easy. We’re gonna take it off of you, and dispose of this…

Sharon: Oh, my gosh.

Chance: …Very carefully.

[ Sharon sobbing ]

Sharon: Oh, my baby. You did it.

[ Both sobbing ]

Nick: You did it. You’re one brave young woman.

Faith: We did it. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chance: I can think of a lot better places for this celebration, so why don’t you get faith out? I’ll take care of everything down here.

Sharon: Are you going to arrest me?

Nick: No way. He knows it was self-defense.

Faith: She was protecting me.

Chance: I was here. I saw everything. Kirsten attacked you and you reacted out of self-defense. I would have taken him down myself, but I didn’t have clear shot. I couldn’t risk hitting you. Hey. Do not for a second question whether or not you did the right thing.

Nick: Absolutely. You didn’t just save her, you saved all of us. I can’t even imagine what would have happened if you didn’t have that knife.

Sharon: That was your idea, nick, thank god.

Nick: Well, come on, let’s get you two home. Thank you.

[ Chance sighs ]

Chance: I should leave you down here with the rats. Hey, get down here. We’ve got to lock up this crime scene. Move out a body.

Adam: I left another message.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Something’s happened to nick, I know it.

Adam: Look, I know that you’re upset that nick’s not here, but we don’t have any reason to believe anything happened to him. Victor would have called.

Sally: Stop trying to tell me not to worry. You told me that everything was going to be okay with the baby and then…

Elena: Sally… I’m so sorry. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

Sally: God, “my loss.” I’ve said that so many times in my life, but now it just sounds inadequate.

Adam: Sally, you should know that elena and the doctors did everything that they could.

Elena: It’s okay. I understand that words are hardly comforting at a time like this.

Sally: I’m sorry. I really appreciate all you’ve done. I’m just–

Elena: You’re in shock and that’s to be expected. How are you feeling?

Sally: I don’t know. Just numb. I can’t really feel anything I just– nothing seems real.

Elena: Okay. Adam, would you mind stepping out of room? I want to talk to sally alone.

Adam: If it’s okay with sally. I’ll be right outside if you need anything. I’m not going anywhere.

Sally: Thank you.

Sally: You were in the delivery room?

Elena: I was.

Sally: I need to know what happened. How did this happen? Was there nothing that you could do to save my baby?

Faith: I’ve never been so relieved to be home in my life.

Sharon: Yeah, me neither.

Faith: And I’ve never been so happy to see you, grandpa.

Victor: My sweetheart, I would have been right by your side if the police had let me into that sewer entrance.

Nick: That’s what I was talking about earlier, faith. It’s what fathers do. They protect their children for the rest of their lives.

Victor: Come here. I’m so happy that everything worked out.

Sharon: I hate to think of the other ways things could have gone.

Nick: Let’s not do that, sharon. We’re all safe. That’s what matters.

Victor: You know, I’m going to call your grandmother, tell her that everything is all right. Okay? She’s worried. Okay. Okay. Be right back.

[ Nick sighs ]

Sharon: Faith, you must be exhausted. Do you want some water? Or some tea? Want something to eat? When was the last time you had a meal?

Nick: I could get a pizza delivered.

Sharon: Or we have a lot of leftovers, we can heat something up.

Faith: I know I should be hungry, but I can’t think about food right now.

Sharon: You’ve been through a trauma, so your body doesn’t know what it wants. But I know what you need. You know what? I am gonna make you some soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. No one can resist that.

Nick: Let me handle that. You two relax.

Faith: Please, can you both just sit with me for a bit? I promise that I will eat, but I think that I just need you guys to be able to be where I can see you right now.

Nick: Whatever you want.

Sharon: We’re right here and we’re not going anywhere.

Faith: I love you both so much.

Sharon: We love you, too. That’ll never change.

Faith: Mom, how are you doing? You must be freaked out with what you had to do.

Sharon: Having you here with me, being able to have you in my arms, that is all the comfort I need.

Nick: Your mom is one brave, strong woman, that’s for sure.

Nick: I think about what cameron forced me to do… choose between the two of you. That was sick and demented.

Sharon: No one should ever have to make that choice.

Nick: Well, faith is right. I am worried about you and what you had to do tonight. And what kind of milk?Uhh, oat milk. Depression is more than just sadness. My doctor told me there are multiple symptoms. I don’t enjoy the things I used to love. I feel guilty when I shouldn’T. I have low energy, trouble thinking, co

Audra: Hmm. I see you’ve come from the “corporate suite.” Burning the midnight oil? Your work ethic is impressive.

Nate: You can roll back that little attitude.

Audra: Right. Because I– I assume victoria is not too far behind you.

Nate: She’s freshening up and joining me for a nightcap. Not that it’s any of your business.

Audra: It is our business, remember?

Nate: Right. I have some news to report on that front. The personal issues nick’s facing.

Audra: You mean the reason he may have to take a leave of absence?

Nate: It turns out the situation is dangerous.

Nate: This stalker from sharon’s past is in town. He’s out of prison and has been terrorizing nick’s family.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Nate: And victoria is determined to make him take some time off, even if everybody gets through this crisis okay.

Audra: But what if that’s not what he wants to do?

Nate: I don’t think she’s going to give him a choice.

Audra: Well, that puts you in a strange position.

Nate: How so?

Audra: Well, it was one thing when nick was stepping aside because she was worried his arrest was going to be bad press, but now, I imagine you must feel some conflict, maybe remorse? You know, getting your big chance because of nick’s troubles.

[ Elena sighing ]

Elena: Sally, I am so sorry this happened. I have seen it way too many times and I can’t begin to imagine how overwhelmed you must feel right now.

Sally: I just feel like there’s an anvil sitting on my chest. Like there’s this hole that could never be filled.

Elena: I want to be honest with you.

[ Sally exhales ] What you’re feeling right now is probably going to intensify before it gets better. You might feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster and that’s because the grief you’re feeling is exacerbated by what you’re going through physically. Right now, your hormones are plummeting. It could take weeks or months to start feeling like yourself again. So, I want you to give yourself grace, okay? And I want you to accept all of the support that you can. Now, I know you must have a million questions for me. And most of them, there will be no good answers for.

Sally: I just have one question. What did I do wrong?

Elena: You didn’t do anything wrong. This was not your fault.

Sally: How can it not be, though? I’m her mom. I had one job. I was supposed to nurture her until she came into this world and I failed.

Elena: Sally, I understand telling you not to feel this way isn’t very useful right now, but I really do wish I could take that feeling away.

Sally: If I had been awake in the delivery room, could I have saved her?

Elena: No. There was nothing you could have done differently. And your medical team, we did everything that we could. This was a high risk situation and the complications put both you and the baby in danger. That’s why there was no time to reach out to the next of kin. And adam had to make choice in the event it came to that.

Sally: What– what do you mean a choice? Adam– what?

Elena: If we were only able to save one of you, adam had to decide. You or the baby.

Sally: Adam had a choice?

[ Adam sighing ]

Sharon: I’m fine. I promise. The only person I’m worried about right now is faith. You’ve been through trauma and you’re going to need someone to talk to so you can process it. Tomorrow morning, we’re going to make some calls.

Faith: I can’t think about that right now. I’m exhausted. I just want to lie down.

[ Door clicks open ]

Victor: Faith, my darling, your grandmother is obviously very concerned, wanted to be here, but I told her you all need some rest, so she sends her love.

Sharon: Thank you, victor. Right now, I am going to take faith upstairs into her big, warm, safe bed and I might just join her there.

Nick: I’ll bring up a snack.

Faith: Thank you both.

Victor: Come here, sweetheart. Okay. You go up with mummy, okay?

[ Nick sighing ] Boy, boy, boy.

Nick: This is not how I saw this ending with kirsten at all, but at least he can’t terrorize us anymore.

Victor: I am just happy that sharon got rid of that son of a bitch.

Nick: Yeah, I’m just worried how she’s going to handle this once the shock wears off. Knowing what she had to do in the sewer, seeing his lifeless body, I know what it takes to grapple with killing someone and I just hope chance remembers that and that’s how he files his report. I’d hate to see her dragged through any court process.

Victor: You know that we’ll be here for anything she needs. I’m going to come back up to the ranch to talk to your mother. She’s worried, obviously. Very worried. You’re going to stay here or what?

Nick: Yeah. I just got to make sure everything’s settled so they feel safe and secure.

Victor: I’m gonna make sure that extra security will be around the house. If you need anything, let me know, right?

Nick: Yeah, thanks, dad, for everything. I know tonight was hard on everyone.

Victor: Yeah, my boy. By the way, before I forget, adam tried to reach you. He’s very concerned. He wants to talk to you, all right?

Nick: Yeah, I’ll call him. Thanks, dad.

Victor: Okay.

Nick: Give mom a hug for me.

Victor: I’ll sure do that.

[ Adam clearing his throat ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: Where the hell have you been? I’ve been trying to reach you all night.

Nick: It’s a long story. I’ll fill you in later.

Adam: How’s faith and sharon?

Nick: Everyone’s safe. Cameron’s been taken care of. The threat’s gone.

Adam: Well, that is a relief.

Nick: Please tell me you didn’t tell sally what was going on with faith. I didn’t want to add any more stress for her.

Adam: I kept it to myself.

Nick: All right. So, what’s going on? Why’d you call?

Nate: I’ll admit, I don’t love the circumstances. Nick is helping his family through a crisis and I feel for him. He and I have always been friends until lately. He’s decided I’m too power hungry for the newman family business.

Audra: Well, if victoria forces him to leave and installs you in his place, that’s not going to help. Have you thought about how to handle it?

Nate: First things first. Let’s hope everyone’s okay. That’s what’s important.

Audra: Yes, but what about what comes after that? If victoria gets her way, which she usually does, you’re going to have to deal with nick.

Nate: If victoria needs me to step up, I’m here for that. So that means I need you to step up as well. So, I hope you’re not having any qualms. Is that what’s behind all these questions about my moral code?

Audra: No. Just making sure you’re not having second thoughts. You know I’m ready. You can count on me at a moment’s notice.

Nick: Okay. Good. I appreciate you, audra.

Adam: Have you listened to your voicemails yet?

Nick: I haven’t had a chance, adam. I just saw all your missed calls. What’s going on? Is sally all right?

Adam: Sally is okay. Um, but there’s been a– a development. We should really talk in person. I know it’s late, can you– can you get away now?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Man, I– I hate leaving sharon and faith right now. They’re really shook up. Are you with sally right now at the suite?

Adam: I’m– I’m with sally, um, we’re at the hospital.

Nick: The hospital?

Adam: Yes, she, uh, wasn’t feeling well so I brought her in.

Sharon: Nick, is it sally? You should go to her. We’ll– we’ll be fine.

Nick: All right. I’m on the way. I’ll get there as fast as I can.

Adam: How is she?

Elena: This isn’t going to be easy. Losing a baby is one of the hardest things I’ve seen in this job. But what about you? How are you doing? You lost a baby, too.

Adam: And I just, um… it just doesn’t seem real.

Elena: Yeah. It happened so fast and you had to make a really tough decision right in the moment.

Adam: Yes, when you asked me, it was something I never imagined having to do.

Elena: Well, if there’s anything you need, you let me know. And if there’s any questions I can answer to help you navigate this, just tell me. I’m here for both of you.

Adam: Thank you. Hey, sally. I just– I just talked to nick. Everything’s fine. And he’s going to be here soon, just like I said he would, but I’m going to sit here just in case you need anything.

Sally: How could you do this? How could you let our baby die?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Nothing! There’s nothing! Nothing! I mean, I think we just have to face it. Sonny doesn’t keep sensitive documents out where anybody could find them. You know, m-maybe he’s got some information about this pikeman deal in his home office. Can you get in? No. It’s locked. So unless he’s got a spare key hidden in a drawer here somewhere… austin: Maybe now’s not the time to take chances. Well, how many chances like this am I gonna get? I’m just saying that you don’t want to be seen, right? What if somebody sees you? Sonny’s always got a lot of people around. He’s got that really tall bodyguard, right?

[ Keys jingling ] Ava: [Hushed] Oh. I gotta go. Ava?! Mayor collins, are — yeah. Whoa! Okay!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Groans ] I — I’m sorry. I’m just a little bit, uh… uh, yeah, I-I can see that. …Unsteady, yeah. Sure. Maybe we should find a quiet place. Uh… I had to see you. Why? What’s wrong? Where’s your ring? Well — sonny, that’s what I need to talk to you about. Tell me, ’cause now you’re worrying me. I’m just — I’m trying to find the words and the courage because once you know… there’s no going back. I’m not sure I heard you correctly, ned. Could you repeat that? Why do you keep calling me “ned”? I already told you — my name is eddie maine. Honey, uh… I-is this some kind of joke? Don’t you recognize us, daddy? We’re your family. “Daddy.” I am not your daddy. I don’t know any of you. Ned, you fell down and hit your head at the metro court pool. Do you remember that? I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, lady. Zeke: My sister’s finally hopeful again. And now I’m sitting on information that could ruin everything? Nothing has to be ruined. Portia never has to know. What?! Are you suggesting that I keep this from her? Hey! So, how’d you like your birthday? Well, let’s see. Um, I got a good swim in, I got to celebrate with people I love, and I got my very first macaroni picture frame. What else could I want?

[ Both laugh ] Don’t blame curtis for how he was behaving the night of the wedding. There was a lot going on. My issue with curtis is how he’s behaved since the wedding! Since the wedding? What are you talking about? Zeke, you only just came to town. How could you possibly know how curtis is behaving? Sorry. Sorry. Should’ve kept my mouth shut. No, no. Unh-unh. That’s not happening. I want an explanation. What’s going on?


Pilar: Thanks, kevin.

[ Gasps ] Oh, miss jerome! I didn’t realize you’d be here! Well, um, sonny and nina were — were called away. They asked me to stay with the girls until you arrived. Oh, I’m so sorry. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting long. No, no. Not too long at all. But I really, uh, should be going. When avery wakes up, please tell her that I love her very much and I’ll see her later. Miss jerome, wait. Your magazine.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I wouldn’t want to forget this. I was just in the middle of a really long, very interesting article. So… thank you again. Yeah.

[ Door closes ] Sonny: You can tell me anything. Good or bad, we should be honest with each other. Leo: Uncle sonny!Yes, I know that. That’s why I have to tell — sonny: Hey! Two of my favorite people. How’s it going? Brook lynn brought me here, but there are too many people, so dante and I went for a walk. Yeah. We both needed a break, huh, pal?

[ Sighs ] Tough day. Poor kid. How’s ned? Uh, they were still trying to get him out of the twilight sleep. He wasn’t awake when we went for our walk. I don’t know what scam you’re trying to pull, but I’m not falling for it. Ned — uh, eddie. You’re disoriented, which can happen after an injury to the head.

[ Stammering ] J-just please tell me. Tell me, w-what is wrong with my husband? For the last time, I’m not your husband! Tj: Ladies, could you please wait in the hall? It’s best that I examine him in private. Tracy: Come on. And stay out! What is happening? This cannot be happening. Never should have sent him to that dreadful boarding school. It cost a fortune, and he obviously did not get over that ridiculous fantasy of being a rock star. But it’s got to be the anesthesia, right? W-what do they call it? T-the twilight sleep or whatever it is. When that wears off, he’s — he’s gonna — he’s gonna be h-himself again, right? He’s gonna come back to us. Right? I’m sure dr. Ashford will straighten this whole thing out. Right. Eddie maine. I never saw that coming. Have a little seat for me. Whoa! Oh, dear.

[ Chuckles ] Are you alright? Do you want to — should we find an exam room? No. No, no. I’m fine. Really, I am. It’s just that I get a little, um… I get lightheaded when I get my blood work done. Right. Here you go. You know, generally speaking, the medical advice is to wait 10 or so minutes before you leave the office. I’m just saying. Hm. I think that dr. Chang suggested that, and I — are you serious?! You must be joking right now. Are you telling me that a patient ignored medical advice? I can’t believe that. That’s just — that’s bananas. Can’t believe it. Uh — [ Chuckles ] I’m kind of in a rush, I guess. I’m trying to make a trip abroad. Well, you must be going somewhere really remote if you need blood work. Chechen republic. Ohh… well, I mean, I-I could be wrong about this, but isn’t that an incredibly dangerous place for you to go? I wish I had a choice. Right. So y-you’re going in the political sphere of your life? You’re going in your capacity as mayor collins? Is that…? No. I think my son may be there. You know? Really? Yeah. Oh. I’m his mother. So I feel like it’s kind of my responsibility to bring him back. But you can’t go. You can’t do that. I was glad when I heard that you were moving back in with my mom. It’s good you two are working things out. Well, it’s important to me that you approve. My mom is crazy in love with you. And despite all of the mistakes she’s made… I still want her to be happy.

[ Line ringing ]

[ Cellphone buzzing ] Curtis: We all want portia to be happy. Trina: I’m glad you can forgive her. Being angry, it’s like… it’s like having a rock sitting on your shoulders. I hear you.

[ Line ringing ]

[ Sighs ]

This is curtis ashford.

Leave your message

after the beep.

[ Beep ] Curtis, it’s me. I wanted to let you know that —

[ Sighs ] You know what? Never mind. Let it go, portia. It’s none of my business. You remember when you told mom and dad that you were late for curfew because you were helping your pal derek fix a flat tire? When you were really out playing poker with your buddies? Wait. H-how do you even know that — how do I know? Because I can read you like a book. I know you. I always have, and I always will. If there’s something that you need to tell me, then tell me. We don’t keep secrets from one another. You’re not gonna like it, portia. What I don’t like is being kept in the dark. That’s what I don’t like. You won’t let this go, will you? No. Curtis kissed his ex-wife. Jordan.


what do you mean, I can’t do that? Well, okay, so — so as a doctor, you know, given your condition, I’m gonna make a strong medical recommendation that you not go anywhere dangerous outside of the U.S. Because if something were to happen, you’d need reliable medical care and you don’t speak the language. Am I right? So you’ll need a translator, you’ll need a knowledgeable guide, and you will need considerable, you know, military kind of level protection. And let me ask you — if something went wrong, do you have a foolproof way to get back out of the country and get back home? Is this your medical advice? I mean, yes, but — yeah, y-you’re not wrong. I mean, I’m a doctor, but I’m also a citizen. And, you know, as one of your constituents, I have some concerns. Who’s gonna be in charge? How long are you gonna be gone? Have you made arrangements for what will happen during your absence? I — these are all really good questions. You’ve given me a lot to think about. Good. So you’ve changed your mind? No, but, um, uh, thank you for all of the advice a-and for the water. Oh. Yeah. You’re welcome. I’m feeling much better. Good. Thanks.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Yeha, leo’s a smart kid. There’s no point in shielding him from the truth. I haven’t seen one of those in a while. My friends told me fidget spinners aren’t cool anymore. I still like mine, though. Well, you know what? If you think it’s cool, then it’s cool. You know what else is cool? What? Worrying about your dad. His brain swelled because he hit his head, but his skull can’t expand. That’s what prevents blood flow. I’ll take your word for that. And I know you know a lot about skulls and blood flow and everything, but you know what? I know a lot about people. What? Your dad is a tough customer, and he’s gonna fight like heck to get well. Dr. Ashford is still examining dad. We still don’t know anything yet. Oh, god. How am I gonna tell leo? How am I gonna explain this? Look. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Although, it’s probably best for him not to see dad until he’s himself again. Until — what until? What if he’s never himself again? What if he just decides to stay eddie maine? Okay. That’s a bridge too far, olivia, okay? Let’s just concentrate on the present. Right?

[ Sobs ] Grandmother, will you, um, stay with olivia? I’d like to go find leo and dante. -Of course. -Tell them that dad is awake. Thank you. And take it easy on her, okay? She needs our sympathy, not “snap out of it.” Is that how you see me? That’s how I just saw you in the icu room, yes. Look, I know you’re as scared as we all are, and it’s just how you react, but she needs our support, and you need to step up. Oh, god. What — what if this is just like jason? W-what if he just — what if he just never comes back to us?

[ Sobs ] There, there. I heard you were, uh, staying with josslyn over the summer because the dorms were closed? Yeah. Mm-hmm. How’s that going? Whoa. Hey. No agenda. No agenda. I was just curious, is all. Um, josslyn and her mom have been really generous about letting me stay with them while I figure things out. Sometimes you need space. I get that. But my mom doesn’T. Your mom gets it more than you think. She’s just trying to respect your boundaries. Portia can’t help it that she misses you. You are her world. Curtis kissed jordan? How do you even know that? Did you see them? No. Nothing like that. Jordan told me. So yesterday at the bar, jordan told you, a complete stranger, that she kissed her ex-husband. Is that what you’re telling me? No.

[ Chuckles ] Then you overheard her. I mean, she could have been talking about a different ex. Portia. Just trust me. I know. Well, how can I trust you when I don’t have the whole story, zeke? I-I promised that I wouldn’T. Promised who?! Jordan. We spent the night together.

[ Groans ]

[ Zeke stammers ] J-jordan made it very clear that whatever happened between us wasn’t serious and how she was still hung up on her ex. She said that they kissed once but it was over. Yeah, but she could have been talking about a different ex. It’s not like she hasn’t had past relationships. Come on! It was her ex-husband. It was curtis. I’m sorry. I wish it weren’t true but I had to tell you. Didn’t I?


Leo.Want to see your dad? Okay. We’ll let you guys know if anything changes, alright? Dad’s awake. That’s great. Oh, hey. You see that, buddy? Your dad’s awake. Can I see him? You know what? Not — not yet, kiddo. He’s a little confused. Con– what do you mean, confused? Oh, dr. Ashford said that it’s not uncommon with a head injury.

[Voice breaking] He’s, um — he’s examining him now. He’s just… hey. Uh, y-you know what, buddy, let’s go see mom. I bet you she could use a hug from her two boys, huh? -Okay. -Okay? I’ll catch up with you later. Dante: Okay. What’s the matter with ned? Oh, uncle sonny. What happened? Dad’s awake, but, um… he’s different. Different? How is he different? Yeah. You know, he’s not gonna come back to normal right away, I mean, after a hit like that.Yeah, sonny’s right. Brook lynn, you just — you just have to give him time. You don’t understand. He doesn’t know who he is. He says he’s eddie maine. -Hi, mom! -Oh, hi, honey! Dante says you need a hug. Yes, I sure do. Dante, too. Oh, yeah, okay. -Yeah. Absolutely. -The doctor’s in with ned. Yeah, uh, we ran into brook lynn. She said he woke up, but he’s — what? He’s confused? That’s putting it mildly. Hey. Dr. Ashford. How — how is ned? He doesn’t appear to be suffering from any physical deficits. There’s no loss of coordination, he’s not slurring his words, and his motor functions and reflexes are normal. Okay. Well, that’s — that’s good. That’s good, right? However, he is experiencing some cognitive symptoms such as combative behavior and profound confusion.

[ Monitor beeping ] Dad? Uh, I don’t mean to be rude, kid… but I’m no one’s dad. I miss my mom, too, but it’s complicated. I get that. When is it not? Has my mom said anything to you? She didn’t have to. I saw how she lit up when you arrived. She was just glad I came to your birthday party. News flash, trina — your mom lights up when you’re around. She doesn’t need a reason. Always. Alright. Message received. And speaking of my mom, where is she? I need her advice about this art fellowship that I’m thinking about applying for. Sounds promising. Don’t get too excited. It’s super boring. Boring progress is still progress. Last time I saw your mom, she was headed toward the restaurant. Think we should join her? -Hey. -Hi. So, I just ran into laura collins. And…? And I tried to convince her to not go to a war zone to look for dead nikolas. Did — did she listen to you? I don’t know. I — I didn’t do such a great job. I-I did the best I could. Maybe she’ll reconsider. Maybe? Yeah, maybe.Well, that’s not good enough. We have to stop her — no “maybes” about it! Right? Okay. One calamity at a time. I see you got out of sonny’s okay, in one piece. Yeah. Pilar. She’s the girls’ nanny. She walked in. But I — I covered. Maybe. I thought there were no “maybes.” What does it matter anyway? There’s no way I’m gonna be able to get into sonny’s home office, and that’s the only place he would keep anything having to do with pikeman. Well, may–

perhaps… there’s another way into sonny’s office. Yeah? Well, I’m not crawling through any air shaft. Did I say anything about you?

[ Knock on door ] Yes. What is it? Do you have a minute? Of course. Come in. Great. I won’t take much of your time. I, uh, need a favor. Anything for you. What do you need? Your resignation. I’m so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you.

[ Scoffs ] To think curtis kept trying to act like — zeke, it’s — it’s — it’s enough. Yeah. I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but consider your involvement in my marriage over. I need to talk to curtis. Well, don’t look now. Here’s your chance.

[ Curtis and trina laughing ] Hey. Hey. How are you guys doing? Uh, I wanted to talk to you about next fall, but then I’ll probably head out. Sounds good. Mom? Hm? You okay? Zeke: Trina! I won’t let you leave until I have had a chance to hang out with you poolside. What do you say? You’re on. Alright. Let’s go. Hey. See ya. Curtis: Have fun. Zeke: Curtis. My man. You know, I just had the best conversation with trina. Did you kiss jordan?


Mom had the bestcannonball when she was a kid. Better than mine, no matter how much I worked on it. But then I saw you make your first cannonball, and I was like, “what?!” You made even more of a splash than portia!

[ Laughs ] Ohh. Uncle zeke, what’s going on between my mom and curtis? What do you mean? My mom looked really upset. I shouldn’t have left her. I-I’m going back to the restaurant. Uh, trina. Don’T. Uncle zeke. What aren’t you telling me? Curtis: Yes, I kissed jordan. It was just one kiss a few weeks ago. I should have told you. And I’m sorry. A few weeks ago? That’s when we started talking again. That’s when you moved back in to the house. I don’t want to make excuses, but our marriage was hanging in the balance. I was confused. I ran into jordan. And it just happened. So jordan just kissed you out of nowhere? No, it was mutual. But…portia. Jordan — [ Sighs ] Jordan made me realize how much I want to give our marriage a second chance. Oh, my goodness. Lucky me. Oh, wait. No. Let me send her a card and thank her. That came out wrong. What I meant — I know exactly what you meant. I didn’t — I didn’t want to hurt you. And that’s why you didn’t tell me. Not when things were still so… fragile between us. Were you ever gonna tell me? Laura, if I’ve done anything to offend you… jordan, I want you to resign as commissioner of police so that you are free to serve as the acting deputy mayor of port charles. I need somebody I can trust, you know, and somebody who knows how government works. And, well, to be perfectly honest, there isn’t anyone who even comes a little bit close. So you have to accept.

[ Exhales sharply ] Now, listen, you will be responsible to find your replacement, and I’m going to need you to do that immediately, because I’m leaving. Leaving? Hence the urgency.

[ Sighs ] Laura, I’m honored. And please know I will do anything to support you. But I’m not the right person for the job. I’m sorry, but… I have to turn you down. Eddie maine? That was ned’s stage name when he sang for l&b records back in the day. Yeah, but now he thinks that’s actually who he is. Eddie maine doesn’t have a wife or kids or any family at all. You mean y-your father lost his memory? Not exactly. He remembers certain details about his life, although he doesn’t remember what happened yesterday. Uh, so h-he doesn’t remember his fall? Not even the pool. Anyways, I got to go meet up with my family. Thanks so much for the shoulder to cry on. Yeah, anytime. Leave it to ned to cause this mess. Now brook lynn has the weight of her family on her shoulders. You’re right. When I think about everything that the quartermaines are going through, my problems don’t seem so bad. So you mean I don’t have to keep putting my neck on the line? Well, that’s great. But will your cousin go for it? Mason seemed pretty keen on me being the one to get close to sonny. I think mason is nothing if not pragmatic, and I don’t think he cares as long as he gets results. Okay. Well, how do we find this mystery person? Is it you? Really? Are you gonna start making house calls over there? Oh. Yeah. No. That — [ Chuckles ] I think that it might be time for a new nanny. Now, that’s not a bad idea. Nanny has open access. She’s there when sonny isn’T. His goons don’t keep tabs on her. Right, and it might be a really good idea to get rid of pilar because you said she was suspicious of you just now, so… she’s never liked me very much. But she’s extremely loyal to sonny, and s-she won’t quit. Who said anything about her quitting? Well, then how do we replace her? You have to get sonny to fire her. As your mom and miss quartermaine know, ned is calling himself eddie maine. -Right. -Is that name familiar to you? -Yeah, it was his stage name. -Ned was an actor? No! Small mercies. He was on tour with a rock band. But not recently? No. No. It wasn’t — since, what, the ’90s? Then both the memory impairment and changes to his personality indicate that ned is suffering from a traumatic brain injury. Didn’t we know that already? Well, I’m trying to ascertain the full extent of his injury and what part of his brain has been affected. Because no two brains are alike, no two injuries are the same. I’ll try to arrive at a specific diagnosis, but you should prepare yourselves. Finding prognosis for a full recovery will be challenging. Dante: Okay. Personality changes, memory and judgment deficits, lack of impulse control. They’re all common side effects… and they may be with your husband for a while. Didn’t leo come up with you? Yeah, he’s right — well — I know you’re not my biological dad. Julian is. But you adopted me. Doesn’t sound like something I’d do. But you did. Leo. Uh, let’s go. Dad’s not feeling well. He’s got to rest. Okay? For the last time, I am not his dad! Or yours!


Olivia, leo was with dad. -Oh, god. For how long? -Long enough. -Okay. I got to find him. God knows what ned said to him. You know what? I’ll go. You might just make him worse. Why don’t you guys stay here? I’ll go look for him. No. Stop, all of you. I’ll go look for my grandson. You listen to the doctor. So, there was something you were gonna tell me or not tell me. You’re gonna tell me, right? Yeah. Oh, okay. Um… I — I-I’m an idiot. I was trying this new, um, facial clay mask from deception and… and I took off my engagement ring and I put it on the sink. And, well, to make a long story short, the clay mask, it got in my eye and I couldn’t see anything, so I-I just — I was trying to find a hand towel and I accidentally dropped my ring — beautiful ring — down the drain. I feel terrible. Did you call the plumber to check the pipe? What? The drain pipe. Never mind. Look. I’ll call my guy. He’ll find the ring. Yes, that’s a possibility. The ring’s not a problem. You know what the problem is? I’ll tell you what the problem is. I’m concerned about you and how you’re acting. You are turning me down? Why? Laura, I’m a cop, not a politician. I’m not qualified to be a deputy mayor. I think you’re selling yourself short. Oh, come on, now. Police commissioner and deputy mayor are both civil servants, and you’ve been serving as a police commissioner for 10 years now, so come on. You know how the town works. You know about all the different power systems that are in place here. And if I learned anything from eileen ashby, it’s that political savvy means absolutely nothing if the trust isn’t there. And I trust you. I trust you more than anyone. Thank you. So how can you refuse? I mean, really. You have risen to the highest rank that the pcpd has. Aren’t you ready for a new challenge? Uncle zeke, what’s going on with mom? Your mother will let you know when she is ready. Mnh-mnh. Not good enough. Gonna have to be, trina. I know you’d do anything for her, but this is between your mom and curtis. I’ll hang back. For now. You always were your mom’s little defender. What’s that supposed to mean? Oh, no one would dare upset your mom. Otherwise, they’d get a kick in the shins from…

[ Chuckles ] I wasn’t that bad. Ah, it wasn’t bad. It was amazing. But it also wasn’t one-sided. Your mom was an expert shin kicker if she felt like someone was gonna hurt her little girl. So the two of you have quite the bond, and it’s good to see you all fired up and protective. It gives me hope that that bond is still there. Doesn’t mean I’m not still angry at my mom for lying to me. When I was younger, she and I were honest about everything. At least I thought. But you’re right. My mom may have disappointed me, but I’ll always love her. And if anything — if anything happens to her, I’d be at her side. I don’t have a good explanation. This is unbelievable. I mean, all of this talk about honesty and openness, but you had no trouble, no problem not sharing this with me. You can’t compare this one transgression, kissing jordan one time, to your 20 years of lying about trina’s paternity. Oh. O-okay. So wait. That gives you a lifetime pass? Is that what you’re telling me? Curtis, I deserve to know the truth. We’re married. I don’t understand what happened. I was in rough shape, okay? I started talking to jordan. We had been hanging out for a — for a while. Wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. You said — you said it was one kiss. And now you’re making it sound like it was more than that. Honey, it was nothing more than that. But you were thinking about her and you sought her out. That’s what you did. It wasn’t like that. You were confiding in her, a-and she comforted you, right? Only because we have history and — that’s all it is, is history. Really? Because, to me, it sounds real current. And we both know that jordan has been harboring feelings for you. I just never knew that you felt the same way. Tracy:

There you are! You’re quite the runner, aren’t you? Why did my dad say he wasn’t my dad? Technically, he’s not. That’s what I said. But then he said he never adopted me. Leo, what do you know about me? You’re mean.

[ Laughs ] Maybe. But I’m direct. And I’m gonna tell you the truth. So, your dad fell… and he hit his head so hard that he’s confused. He’s so confused, he doesn’t recognize his family. That hurts my feelings. I imagine it hurts yours, too. But I know that somewhere deep inside, your dad knows exactly who we are. He just can’t remember it right now. But he knows it. Because the man in that bed, he is your dad. He will always be your dad. Got it? Mm-hmm. -Do you have any questions? -Just one. When will I get my husband back? Ned needs to be seen by a neurologist and psychiatrist, and they’ll have recommendations for how to proceed. Until then, we won’t know with any certainty when ned will recover. But it’s not like he’s gonna be eddie maine forever. We’ll do everything possible to treat him, but it’s too soon to tell. This is just crazy. Okay. This is crazy! I’m sorry. I wish I could do more. It’s okay, tj.

[ Sobs ] In the meantime, I’ll call in the additional specialists I mentioned, and we’ll determine a course of treatment. Okay. Thank you.


I can’t get pilar fired. She’s been working for sonny for years. Avery loves her. Okay, but will avery love pilar more than… ava, who’s dead and gone, thank you, cousin mason? I’m just saying. Who is she gonna turn to? Nina? Carly? Alright! Alright. Point taken. Pilar’s out. You can get this done? In my sleep. I don’t know what to say. Say “yes.” I need you by my side. The city of port charles needs you. I said I would do anything for you, and I meant it. So I accept. Welcome aboard, deputy mayor ashford.

[ Chuckles ] You like the sound of that? I do.

[ Both laugh ] I always knew you’d stand up for your mom, but it’s good to hear you say it. You’re not the first person to make the case for my mom. Not even the first person today. Curtis went out of his way to tell me how much my mom missed me. Uncle zeke, what aren’t you telling me? Maybe you should keep your distance. From who? From curtis. Jordan is my past. You are my future. I want to be with you. I want to believe you. 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. You’re concerned about me? You had me thinking the worst, like… you know, like you were gonna tell me something terrible. What you tell me is that you lost your engagement ring. Y-you think I care about that? Well, sonny, it’s my engagement ring that I love, and it’s — you know, it’s beautiful. It’s expensive. It’s a piece of jewelry. As long as I’m with you, I — that’s all I care about. This is fun.

[ Chuckles ] Ohh! Did I break it? I can get you another one! It drops all the time. See? It’s okay. So it is. Olivia: What if ned comes back to us? Dante: He will. But y-you heard what dr. Ashford said. Okay, tj is just doing his job, mom, letting you know possible outcomes, okay? So let’s wait for the neurologist to get in here, the psychiatrist to get in here, and see what happens. Okay. Okay? Give it some time. Okay? Okay. Thanks, honey. It’s gonna be okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Feel. Hey Chad, is it really? You come here. Oh God, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I’m here. I’m really sorry about what’s going on with your dad. Yeah, me too. Thanks. That was ju just with Doug and Julie and. They were asking if I’d heard from you. You know, they’re, they’re upset about your dad. Of course we all are, but it’ll be really comforting to them that you’re here,

darling. You’re not eating, not hungry, but you’re okay. I mean, you’re feeling well. I’m fine physically. I’m fine. I’m just heartsick Doug. We, we just got past the anniversary of Abigail’s death and now this disappearance of Abraham. Yes. So much grief in his family. You know, today is, is Paulina and Abe’s first wedding anniversary.

Juneteenth. Yeah. A day of jubilation. And instead it’s, Hey, I hope y’all don’t mind. I let myself in. Eli. Eli. Good, Eli.

Happy anniversary. Abraham.

Oh dear Lord, please. Please let this be good news,

mama. What on Earth? Why are you here? Why am I here? I’m here because I know you need me.

Sorry, I’m late, babe. I had a cold yellow when I was running out the door. So what you been up to? Well, I was watching those old soap tapes of yours when all of a sudden I remembered something very important. Oh, uh, what do you, what do you mean? What did you remember? Don’t you have something you want to say to me?

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Ooh, you look so good, handsome, tall, slender. Yeah. You look as though you could use a little home cooked food. I’ll just go make you a plate right now. No, no, grandma, it’s, it’s okay. I don’t, I don’t need to eat right now. Don’t fight it, grandson. It’d be a losing battle. Okay. I’m let, let’s do it. Okay. Thank you.

I’ll be right back. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Wow, you just got here in time. I was about to break out the chocolate truffles to cheer up your grandma. Hmm. But you are the perfect bomb. Oh, I don’t know. She loves her truffles. So, uh, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wanted it to be a surprise. Ray and I, we’ve been in constant contact about a, but it’s, it’s just hard with me not being here.

So I had a couple days off, so I figured I’d show up and see what I can do to help. Well, you’ve helped already just by being here. Oh yeah, darling. Ooh, thanks. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. So where are my beautiful, great-grandchildren? Uh, they’re with my mom in DC but I, I promise next time I’ll bring ’em with me.

It won’t be months and months from now, I hope. No, no, no, no. I’ll bring it back soon. Hopefully Abe will be here as well. Yeah, well, we’re all praying for that, but, but unless, unless you’ve heard something from Ray or, or somebody, the, the police don’t have any leads. No, no news, unfortunately. But I did hear that they ruled out Colin Bedford as a suspect.

Yeah. Well we heard that. Abraham is such a good and decent man. You know, he does not have an enemy in the world, and for him to be kidnapped, actually, he still hadn’t recovered completely from that last assault. Why? Oh, why Lord? Who in the world would do this to him? Well, what do you mean, Abe? What? What would I have to tell you?

Well, I was sitting here watching. Body and soul and Cassandra and Rhett were celebrating their second anniversary, their second anniversary of their fourth wedding. That is, And all of a sudden came back to me. What did Paul, today is our wedding anniversary, isn’t it,

baby? I wish I could say happy anniversary and happy Juneteenth too. But I know this is a tough time for you, so I’m just gonna say I love you and I’m here for you. Bless your heart. That means so much to me. But mama, why’d you call and tell me you were coming because I wasn’t gonna let you talk me out of it.

Besides, I had to see with my own two eyes that my baby was okay, well, she’s a lot better. Not a choice.

I had these fires printed. I wanted to do something to help find your stepfather. Yeah. Well, Abe is the mayor, so everyone pretty much already knows he’s missing. So all of this is just performative. Chanel, wait, look, I know I should have said this yesterday at the hospital, but thank you for what? Calling the cops and saving me from Colin.

And I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said about you. Why did you say them? Because Colin was listening to every word I was saying. He had a gun. I had to say whatever I had to to save your life. And yours. Look Chanel, I didn’t want you to get hurt. More than I already hurt you.

Yeah, I wish I would’ve known you were coming. I would’ve asked EJ to send that yet. Uh, no. It’s, it’s cool. I actually bought a ticket months ago. My dad is supposed to give this big speech for the Juneteenth celebration and, um, my wanted to surprise him. Right. Well look man, it’s really good to see you.

Yeah. And I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to Melanie.

Hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Um,

my dad, his office asked me to deliver a speech form and for some reason I said yes. What do you mean? I think that’s a great idea. He sold your dad. Yeah. It’s just that it is supposed to happen in like half an hour and. There’s no way that I can do it.

I tried to tell Dad’s staff that someone else should give the speech, but line is unavailable obviously, and they didn’t wanna ask Paulina, so, so why not you? Because I’m terrified of public speaking. It’s basically my biggest fear. I mean, I, I, I start to sweat, I trip up on my words. I, I, my hands are clammy just thinking about it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. You do. Yeah. What do you think? You’re the only person that hates public speaking? No, but I’ve seen you give speeches before. You seem totally cool. Yeah. Maybe if it’s about, um, business or something.

A year ago. A year ago. Um, I, uh, I had to give the eulogy at Abby’s funeral and the pressure, you know, I mean, it was just,

I had to be strong for the kids, first of all, and, and I wanted to, you know, I wanted to use the right words to honor their mother’s memory. She got through it. Yeah. But I wasn’t sure that I would. And then I walked up there and I looked around and I saw all of my friends and family, all of their faces, and I knew that they were there with me and Abby was too.

And then this, yeah, this calm just kind of washed over me. And then, like you said, I got through it and you will too today. You know you’re gonna be the one up there at the microphone, but. You bet your ass. I’ll be there. So Ani and Paulina, Brandon, you know your whole family, your mom, the most important.

Your dad, he will be there too. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don’t wanna disappoint him. I don’t wanna let him down. You mean you couldn’t if you tried? You want what? Let him down. Some boring white dude drawn on about the history of Juneteenth. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. You’re gonna make your dad proud. Okay. I know you are.

Okay, I’ll do it. But I need your help.

How’s Lonnie doing? I mean, I, I know you’re busy. You, you have the children and you have your job, but. You must get to see her sometimes as much as they’ll allow me to. She’ll be eligible for parole in six months, so hopefully she’ll be home by Christmas. Oh, oh, that would be wonderful. Yes, it would.

Apparently she’s doing incredible things in there. She’s mentoring prisoners, changing lives. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, it’s just so many women in prison. They just need someone to believe in him. Lonnie is a wonder. We’re always so proud of her. Yeah. Oh, I know that when she’s released, she won’t be able to be a cop again, which is a damn shame because she’s, she’s one of the best, but whatever she does, I know she’ll be great at it.

I am counting down the days until she’s home again.

So I hired Black Patch investigators to work with the police. Oh, they’re the best. And they, they happen to be Abe’s closest friends, but they, they still haven’t found anything. Well, baby. Now you told me Abe was dealing with memory loss. You think maybe he could have wandered off? No, I brought that up. But Mama Abe is the mayor.

He’s one of the most recognizable men in Salem. If he was wandering around the streets, someone would’ve called a tip by now. Unless now don’t you go to that dark place. You hear me? Don’t go to that dark place. Especially not today. Come here baby. Come here.

Now you’ve listened to me, you’ve gotta have faith that your wonderful husband will be found and that he’ll come back to you. Okay.

How did you know that it was our anniversary? Are are, are you starting to remember? No. No. But, uh, Chanel your daughter, I. When we were in the hospital, she told me that we were married on Juneteenth. That’s today, isn’t it? That’s right. So today is, is our wedding anniversary. Of course. I wasn’t hiding it from you.

In fact, I was planning a special dinner for us later. How many years are we celebrating? Just one. One. So this is our first anniversary? Yes. Mm-hmm. It is. Uh, you know, we had both lived such full lives before we found each other. I know it’s only been one year, but I feel as if I’ve loved you forever. Can you tell me about that day?

How dog? Yeah. What would you like to know? Was it a big wedding or a small one? It was there. Do we, do we write our own vows? That’s just tell me everything. I mean, maybe you can spark some memories.

Look, before you met me, I know Colin convinced you that my mom and I were these evil people who he needed to pay back for what we did to his family. But then you did meet me. I gave you a job and we were friends. Or at at least I thought you were my friend. I was. But you still did everything he told you to do.

You went along with his plan to destroy our lives. Look, I know it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t even make sense to me. Okay. But I’m working through it. I went to go see Dr. Evans and she made me realize that. I was in an abusive relationship. Colin abused you? Yeah, emotionally. I mean, he never hit me or anything, but he had this power over me that I can’t even explain.

And I know it sounds crazy to somebody as strong as you. Not crazy really. When I was with Colin’s father, he was my professor and well, He had all the power in our relationship, and even though it was totally consensual, there was just something that made me feel like I had no choice but to be with him.

It’s always easy to see looking back at it, right? And I know that my situation is way different from yours, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for what I did at all. But you and your mom were so good to me, and a part of me felt like I needed to stop Collin’s plan right then, but, but you didn’t. But I didn’t know how Chanel, when he asked me to seduce you and then break your heart, look, I didn’t think that it would happen.

Okay. I didn’t think that you would feel for me, cuz I knew I wouldn’t feel for you. I never even thought about being with a woman before Chanel, but when we got close I did feel something.

You want me to believe you had real feelings for me? Is that what you’re saying? Look, look, no, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m saying. Chanel, I, I just knew that I didn’t expect to feel so connected to you. Okay. After that, I knew I had to stop lying and I just had to tell you the truth. Yeah. Or are you sure you weren’t just trying to get out of sleeping with me?

I don’t think so. Look, before I left Colin that day, I made him promise me not to hurt you or your mom. Yeah. I guess he wasn’t keeping that promise. No. Unfortunately not. Look, when I saw him on top of that roof pointing that gun at you, I knew I couldn’t let him. Everything after that, I don’t know it. It was a blur on instinct.

I lunged at him, and before you know it, I was falling off the side of the roof. You saved my life and you almost lost yours in the process. Look, I can’t, I can’t take credit for that. Okay. Cuz I know that I could have stopped it way earlier. Okay. But you did stop it and could have been worse. A hell of a lot worse.

He was gonna kill me and then he was gonna kill my mom next. So I owe you a thank you.

Why would you want the gory details of our wedding day? Why were they gory? I mean, weren’t they happy memories? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I mean, well, the wedding part was amazing. It was perfect. But right after we said I do, our daughter confessed to murder. What? Chanel killed somebody. Oh, no, no. Chanel’s my daughter.

With my ex. I’m talking about our daughter Lonnie.

Why am I just hearing about this? I haven’t wanted to overwhelm you with details since When is having a daughter a detail, Helena, why is this the first time I’m hearing about her daughter and, and why haven’t I seen Lonnie? Well, because she’s in prison. In prison. I’m sorry, I just didn’t wanna spring all of this on you at once.

Well, do I have any other children I don’t know about. Yes, actually. You have a son.

All right. So, uh, what do you, uh, do you need some help writing your speech? No, I, I have the speech my dad wrote, but there’s another way that you could help me. Okay. Whatever you need. So, um, back in the day, my speech therapist used to have me line up all of my stuffed animals and just practice having conversations with them.

Okay. So you will, I can go back and get some of Thomas and Charlotte’s stuffies for you. No, I I, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. You want me to be your audience? Yeah. If, if you wouldn’t mind, fine. I would be honored. Okay,

you grab this.

Good afternoon. I’m Mayor Abe Carver. No, I’m a mayor. Hip Carter’s son, Theo. I know. He wishes you were here today. But I wanna start by talking about what brings us together on this special day

on June 19th, 1865, where it finally reached Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War had ended two months earlier, or importantly, it was a day that the last enslaved people in the United States learned that they were free. That next year, the first Juneteenth celebration was held in Texas. But soon as the families moved elsewhere, they took that tradition with them,

uh, Juneteenth spread all across the country. And finally, last year, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. This day has been known in various parts as Jubilee Day. Emancipation Day and even Black Independence Day. It’s also the day that I, um, no, it’s also the day that my dad calls his anniversary. And today as every day, we celebrate with a mixture of joy, for freedom, sadness, for our years of hardship, and for those still struggling.

I know for a better, brighter future.

And darling, you gotta have faith. Faith in the good Lord. I do have faith Mama. In both the good Lord and in Abraham. Well, you hold on tight to that faith. Okay?

And honey, I know this is supposed to be a day of celebration, but as I recall, your wedding day was not exactly a day of sunshine and roses. No. No it wasn’t. It was the best day of my life and it turned into one of the worst when Lonnie got arrested. And what does that tell you? That today isn’t just about celebration.

It’s about taking the good with the bad, looking to the future, and holding onto that faith. You must never stop believing that a will come back to you. You hear me? I hear you.

Please, no need to thank me. I’m just really happy that you’re okay.

Well, um, I should go. I made teacakes for my mom’s anniversary. Oh, wow. I’m sure she’ll love them. I used your recipe. So does that mean the bakery’s back open? No. No. Um, but I’m working on it. I’m, I’m sorry. Yeah. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope Abe’s found soon, and I know you don’t think it’ll do anything, but I’m gonna continue to knock on some doors and I’m gonna hang up some flyers.

Oh yeah. Look, I’m not gonna give up. Okay. Chanel,

oh my stars. Look at the time I promised Thomas and Charlotte I was gonna take them to the park to meet Chad for the Juneteenth celebration. I’d like to go with you, sweetheart, but I’m still feeling a little wiped out. My darling here went 10 rounds with the flu last week, and one as always. Yeah. See, thank God.

Would you like to come with me to the park? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Paulino will be there too. Yeah. You know, Abraham was supposed to give the speech today, wonder who’s gonna take his place as if anybody could

to quote President Obama. Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible and there’s still so much work to do.

On behalf of my dad, we thank you. Happy Juneteenth. Happy anniversary that

it’s perfect. You’re gonna the park.

I’m ready.

Mama, aren’t you supposed to? Big mama. Hi. Hey. Hi. I am so happy you’re here. So good to see you. It’s good to see you too. We have missed you so much. Well that’s good because I missed you too and I know it means a lot to mama that you’re here. So please tell me that you’re staying for a long time. Just a few days.

Oh, well, we’ll have to see if we can talk again into staying longer, a lot longer. We will definitely work on that. And aren’t you supposed to be at the Juneteenth celebration? I was gonna bring some teacakes by afterward, sweetheart. My heart is just not in it today. Not without Abraham. What’s my son’s name?

His name is Theo. Theo. Why haven’t I seen him? Well, um, he lives out of the country, uh, South Africa actually. Oh, he, he is even calling me. Does he know I’m injured? Does he, I mean, I would at least,

what, what, what is it? I think, uh,

I think I’m close to a memory. Well, don’t push it, baby. You don’t wanna upset yourself and delay your recovery. Um, don’t worry, I’ll get that you just rest.

Hello, may I help you?

Hi, I, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m, you know what? I don’t want my cat to come out, so let me come outside with you here in the hallway there. That’s better. How can I help you? Um, I’m trying to find a missing person. So what, you just canvassed the whole neighborhood? No, actually, my sister’s a cop and she scrubbed on this address when she was following up on leads.

So I thought I’d start here first. Huh,

mama. I know it’ll be tough for you, but. You should probably get out so that you can not stay here staring at us in these four walls all day. You know she’s right, Paulina. I know, but sitting here is staring at my sweet mom and my daughter and these four walls. That’s all I’m feeling up to today.

I get that. Okay.

Julie. Hi. Hi. Chanel. Oh, oh, oh, my Miss Olivia. Oh, what, what a beautiful surprise. So good to see you. So good to see you too, Julie. Thank you. Well, I, I, I know I’m interrupting a lovely family gathering, but. Colleena. I wanted you to know we missed you at the park. I know I wanted to be there, but, oh, I understand.

I do understand. So, I brought something back for you from the park, Julie, now come on. You didn’t really have to do any Thank you.

Hey. Oh. Oh. If you didn’t come to the party, we bring the party to you. Oh, so. How was the Juneteenth celebration? Oh my God. It was, it was, uh, amazing. It was so moving and I ran into, uh, to Theo before, and he was so nervous, uh, to give Abe speech, but as soon as he got up there, his, his whole energy changed.

His Brilliant. And he was channeling his father. Exactly. Yeah. It was just, it’s just really nice to have something to celebrate this week. Yes. Julie reminded me that this was a anniversary of Abigail’s death. Yeah. Yeah. I decided not to mention to the kids, but like I said to Julie, you know, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure they knew.

Well. Children always understand more than you think they do. That’s exactly what Julie said. And though your precious kids have lived through a terrible loss, they still are spirited and altogether delightful. And Chad. That is a credit to you.

You know what? Before I forget, Lonnie asked me to give you one of these. We love you, Pauline. Excuse me? Can I get one of those? Oh, now you know I’m gonna give you a kiss. Big mama.

I missed you. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, and it’s good to see you too, sister in-law. Hang right back at your brother-in-law, Eli. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank all of you. Hey, where else will we be? Think mommy, you know, maybe you are right. Maybe I did need my family and my friends around me.

Maybe. Of course I was right.

Is there room for one more? Oh.

Oh, well, the commissioner came to question me because I was on duty at University Hospital on the day that, uh, uh, mayor Carver disappeared. Apparently, I was one of the last people to see him before he went missing. Oh, oh, really? Did you notice anything suspicious at all? No, no. As I told Commissioner Hernandez, I saw nothing.

It’s so wonderful. Haven’t you all here? I just only wish that Abe was here to see all the people that he loves coming together like this. Well, maybe he can’t see us, but I believe we can make him feel us. No, I do. Let’s all gather around. Oh goodness.

Abraham Carver, we know you’re out there. I want you to know we love you. We miss you. So much, oh, do we ever? And my precious, precious husband is me, Paulina, your wife. And I want you to know no matter where you are, I feel your love and send you mine. And may you never, never leave my heart.

With this ring, I,

I gotta say I am feeling pretty good about this hand. I’m glad to hear it. I know you got a lot better things to do than just babysitting me. Yeah, I was gonna say the same to you. Well, I don’t, and I, Chad, I can’t think of one thing I’d rather be doing than just hanging in with you. They don’t, in that case.

Jen

man, foiled again, I’m gonna beat you one of these days. We’ll see you about that. Yeah. I may, uh, manage you to be the ripe old age 125, but I’ll beat you. I’ll do my dinges. Okay, well one more unto the breach. It was great. Great to see Eli again. Wow. And it lifted Julie’s spirits. Yeah. I’m sure it’ll lift Paulina’s spirits too.

You know, wherever Abe is, I hope he can feel all the love his family is sending his way.

You know, it’s been way too long since you sent me pics of my, my grand babies. Paulina, I just sent you pics yesterday. Well, what about today? All right, everyone. Now Miss Olivia and I as the two matriarchs of this family, wanna propose a toast? We do. Of course we do. Now, we all know today is a mixed bag.

It’s Juneteenth great celebration, also a great celebration for a very important anniversary. But we are all missing Abraham, something fierce. Fear. You know, I’ve known Abraham Carver longer than anybody else in his room.

And I know that he would want us to go forward with a celebration and he’d be so proud and honored of the speech you gave in your father’s name today, and all of the town turned out to give their support. Today. Can, can I say something? Oh, please. I wanna make a toast to all of you for being here to love, support, and celebrate my brilliant, powerful mother on her anniversary.

Oh, her love and faith are what’s gonna bring Abe home. Happy anniversary, mom. Yeah,

happy anniversary.

And this time next year, we are all gonna be meeting together in this room with Abraham to celebrate your second wedding anniversary. Amen. Abraham, wherever you are,

we know that you’re thinking of us just as we are thinking of you

Rain. Ivy, we with this Ring Ivy, we.

Sorry about that darling. Sorry, it took so long. I was a door-to-door salesperson. I thought I’d never get rid of her. Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. You’re not my wife.

Giacomo: It’s been much long time.

Ridge: Yes it has.

Associate: We are excited to preview the new hope for the future collection.

Steffy: Hope and thomas exceeded expectations. We’re all very excited.

Hope: We are so delighted that you all could be here.

Reporter: Grazie mille.

Imma: Word is that your design is to divine.

Thomas: Well, I hope you agree.

Imma: Oh, sure.

Carter: Hope and thomas have outdone themselves, if I say so myself.

Ridge: All right, everyone, I would like to thank you for your support over the years, past and present. We’ve got some great memories here and we’re gonna try and make some more. All right. Salute!

All: Salute!

Imma: Cin-cin.

Reporter: Cin-cin.

Liam: All right, here you go. Safe and sound.

Finn: Perfect. Yeah, kelly loves these. She’s gonna be happy to have them back.

Liam: Yeah. So, yeah. Kids gonna be all right with steffy out of town?

Finn: Well, yeah, I, um, traded a few shifts so I could be home. And my mom and uh, taylor are gonna help out, so I think we’ll be all right.

Liam: Yeah.

Finn: I think, uh, I’m gonna be the one missing my wife the most. That’s not something you’re gonna have to deal with though. Unless you’re having second thoughts about joining hope in rome.

Liam: No, no, not at all, man. You and rj convinced me. I think– I think me joining hope in rome is– is– exactly what I need right now. I mean, she’s been working hard, she’s reviving hope for the future. This is the beginning of that payoff and, you know, I wanna celebrate her, but not through like emojis. You know, I wanna be there, face-to-face, in person. So, yeah. No, I’m– I’m going to rome.

Donna: Hey, guys.

Liam: Hey, guys. How are you?

Eric: Dr. Finn is here.

Liam: He’s here.

Finn: Good to see you.

Eric: Liam, uh, I got– hi. I– I got your message, what is it?

Donna: Yeah, it seemed kind of urgent? Is everything okay?

Liam: Uh, well, it’s gonna be very okay, if you say yes.

Eric: If we say yes to what?

Liam: Um, would you be able to watch the kids for a few days?

Donna: What? Yeah, of course.

Liam: Really?

Donna: Yeah, but what’s going on? What?

Liam: I’m going to surprise, hope. I’m going to rome.

Hope: It’s actually starting to feel real.

Thomas: I know. I– I’m just, I’m so glad we decided to do the event here.

Hope: You know, it feels amazing to be back in italy.

Brooke: I– I– I can really feel it. I see the pieces. Hope for the future is going to be a smashing success.

Hope: Okay, don’t– don’t jinx us.

Thomas: You can’t jinx facts.

Hope: I admire the confidence.

Thomas: I know what we have.

Hope: Well, like ridge was saying earlier, the forrester family has a rich legacy here in italy and your grandfather paved the way, he built upon that and now it’s your turn.

Reporter: There’s a lot of anticipation about the forrester boutique we’re opening here.

Carter: Well, I looked over the legal docs. Everything seems to be in order.

Reporter: Excellent. We’d like to move forward as soon as possible. While the preview is fresh.

Ridge: This is a great opportunity for us.

Steffy: Yes, it is. Everyone. What a great way to honor our partnership between forrester creations, our italian friends and associates by putting on tomorrow’s hope for the future event.

Grazie. Somedays, I cover up because of my moderate

Eric: You know, I have pretty good instincts about these thing and I think that this particular showing is gonna be a sensation for hope and for thomas. Look, I know you’re not particularly happy to have your wife share the glory with my grandson, but he deserves it. So my advice is for you to concentrate on the one person who counts, on your wonderful wife.

Liam: Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, I– I’m going there to support hope. Now, do I happen to wish thomas wasn’t there? Well, that’s an emphatic yes. But am I gonna let him become an issue between me and my wife? Not on your life.

Donna: Yeah, I think it’s gonna mean a lot to her. You just there and supporting her, cheering her on.

Liam: Yeah, but okay. But– but keep in mind, this is– this is a surprise, so don’t tell ridge, don’t tell brooke, right?

Eric: Your secret is safe.

Liam: Okay.

Finn: I’m tempted to hop on the plane with you.

Liam: Bro, pack a bag and meet me at the airport.

Finn: I wish. I have patient commitments and these kids, so I think it’s best I sit this one out.

Eric: Uh, we’re very, very happy to take care of douglas and beth.

Finn: You know what? Kelly and hayes, they love play dates with beth and douglas, so you could always bring them over to the cliff house, overnight even. Okay, I’m not gonna be the only adult in the room. My mom, taylor, there– there’s gonna be plenty of reinforcements.

Donna: That’s good to know. Thank you.

Liam: This is so great. I– I just, I can’t really– I can’t thank you enough. Not just for making it possible, but for making it easy to surprise hope. I really, I just– I can’t wait to see the look on her face.

Ridge: All right. So, all the ups and downs, the twists and turns, we have a new and improved hope for the future, debut tomorrow.

Carter: Rome, no less. Great choice, by the way.

Ridge: It was a great choice. That’s why they keep her around. Anything else I need to know for tomorrow?

Carter: Nope. Everything’s under control.

Steffy: Carter walton, you are one of the most competent people I have ever met.

Carter: It’s a blessing and a curse.

Ridge: But it’s a blessing for us. You’re the best hire we ever had.

Steffy: An attorney, wedding officiant. What would we do without you?

Ridge: We couldn’t do anything without you.

Steffy: That is true.

Ridge: We appreciate you.

Carter: Well, it goes both ways, but please stop with the compliments. My head’s gonna get so big, it won’t fit through the door.

Steffy: You deserve every compliment. Well, I’m gonna go check on that photo shoot by the pool.

Ridge: All right, well good to hear.

Carter: We know where to find you.

Ridge: Hope and thomas, they poured their heart and soul into this. They need a win.

Carter: I’m with you and they’re gonna get it. You need to unwind. How about you get out of here, you see some sights. And– and– and you know what? Why not take brooke with you?

Hope: I can’t believe it. It’s finally here, the day that almost didn’t happen.

Brooke: Oh, well, you’ve been on quite the journey with hope for the future.

Hope: Yeah. Things were pretty bleak not that long ago. I almost lost my line. You know, I really tried not to let you or liam see how terrified I actually was.

[ Brooke scoffing ] But luckily, steffy gave thomas and me another chance at revitalizing the line and now here we are in rome. It’s got our preview tomorrow.

Brooke: I am so happy for you, hope. You worked so hard to revamp hope for the future and it’s really gonna be a success. I hope that you’re ready to be the toast of roma.

Hope: Now, that– that I think I can handle.

Brooke: Yeah. Are you nervous?

Hope: Just the regular preshow jitters, just a little bit. But I actually am feeling really, really confident in the line. I mean, at this point, I almost feel like, bring it on.

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: So, um, what about you? How are you feeling?

Brooke: Oh, uh, I’m just so happy to be here.

Hope: With ridge? Well, it’s just, you know, I can’t help but notice the two of you are getting a little close and who knows what wonders the city might have in store for the two of you.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Steffy: Jasmine. Hi, sean. Oh, so good to see you. Beautiful.

Jasmine: Thank you. I’m so happy to be a part of the forrester international.

Steffy: We’re so happy that you’re part of it as well.

Steffy: All right, everybody, that is a wrap. Great work, everyone. If you have heart disease and are on a statin, you and brooke long enoughCarter would I do that?

Ridge: What is happening? You need another hat to wear? What are you– you gonna be a matchmaker now?

Carter would I do that? Is that what–

Ridge: You would do that and it’s not necessary?.

Carter: Okay, so I shouldn’t believe what my eyes are seeing then.

Ridge: What do you, what? I don’t know what that means.

Carter: I know you well, my friend and I’ve been around you and brooke long enough to know when the ground is shifting. When you guys are close and distant and close. Okay, stop me if I’m misunderstanding the situation–

Ridge: I’m stopping you because you’re misunderstanding the situation, carter. Maybe this fall out with taylor, maybe– maybe brooke is a little open with me now.

Carter: That’s awesome.

Ridge: You think so?

Carter: Yes. I’m not trying to get in your business.

Ridge: Ah, dude, you’re in my business.

Carter: Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing because it doesn’t matter if you and brooke are together or apart, your connection never goes away. And that– that means something. Now, all I’m suggesting is that you go out there, you get some fresh air, you combat that jet lag and that grumpiness and do it with the woman you’ve loved for most of your life.

Eric: Liam, you and hope have gotten through so much and you’ve gotten through everything with flying colors, with communication and caring., And most of all, with love. It’s the most important thing any couple can give each other. If two people love each other, there’s nothing they can’t overcome. Donna and I can attest to that.

Donna: We certainly can.

Liam: Well, right now, the only obstacle left between hope and me is, uh, miles. And that’s, uh, that’s pretty easily fixed. So next step, book a flight, baby.

Eric: There you go.

Donna: There you go.

Hope: I know you’ve been keeping an eye on thomas and me, you and steffy. I could feel your eyes in the back of my head. It’s kind of hard not to notice. Uh, but it’s really, it’s really not necessary because all of our focus and attention is on the preview and the press event. But you know, if you really do feel better watching us, um, that makes you feel at peace with yourself, just know I’ve also been keeping an eye on you and ridge.

Brooke: Oh, really? So, what is it you think you see?

Hope: Just what’s been there my entire childhood, my entire life. The two of you still desperately in love after all these years. And now that the, uh, the pact with taylor is null and void.

Brooke: I– I don’t wanna really talk about that right now.

Hope: Yeah. No, you’re right. Sorry, I even brought that up. Why would I do such a silly thing when we’re here? And we should be present in this beautiful city, this enchanted city called rome. With, oh, I don’t know. You just happen to be here with your decades-long love. There’s something in the air, mom, and can you feel it? ‘Cause it kind of feels like destiny.

Brooke: Uh, to be quite honest, I don’t know. Ridge is the other half of this equation and he’s kind of soured on destiny right now. So…

Hope: I don’t know. The man’s been known to change his mind.

Brooke: Okay. What are you doing? Are you trying to push us back together?

Hope: I just want you to be happy, and if that means ridge, then fine.

[ Knock on door ]

Ridge: Hey. Hey.

Brooke and hope: Hi.

Hope: We were just talking about you.

Ridge: Yeah. Good things, I hope.

Brooke: Oh, yeah. Is there anything else, yeah?

Ridge: I didn’t know if you maybe want to walk the city with me?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah. I’d love to. Any place in particular?

Ridge: Same place I always go when I come to rome.

When you use the wrong pads

for bladder leaks…

Liam: I don’t care. No window, aisle, it doesn’t matter to me. Yeah. Just, okay. Wait, wait, wait. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Can you– can you just– can– can I like, no offense, can I talk to like a supervisor or? Thank you. Thank you. Hi. Yes. Hello. Uh, my name is liam spencer and I am desperately trying to get a flight to rome to see my wife.

Hope: Hey, thomas.

Thomas: Yeah?

Hope: Uh, tomorrow at the press event, can you promise me something? That you won’t forget that we were partners in this, and that this collection is just as much yours as it is mine because I want you to own that. You know, I want you to feel good about that and not defer to me. I mean, any questions you want to take, feel free to answer.

Thomas: That’s– it’s very generous.

Hope: Well, it’s not just my moment. It’s yours too. We worked on this together.

Thomas: Yeah. Now, what we worked on together is going to unveil itself here in this amazingly beautiful place.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I mean, if you really think about it, this is surreal. It wasn’t that long ago we almost lost hope for the future.

Thomas: You, okay?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah, I’m just… I appreciate you, thomas. And your talent and the way that you somehow are able to take my vision and elevate it into something that I– I couldn’t even begin to imagine. And somehow, along the way, you managed to make it fun with– with your humor and your positivity and the way that you just… you ground me and focus me and now we are here doing this together and I just… I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m just– I’m really thankful to be here launching the new hope for the future with you in rome.

Ridge: No matter how many times I see it, it still strikes me.

Brooke: It’s always stunning.

Ridge: It’s majestic.

Brooke: It’s hard to imagine it’s been there for thousands of years.

Ridge: Battered and worn, just like me.

Brooke: Ridge, you just get better with every passing year.

Ridge: No, I don’T.

Brooke: Yes, you do.

[ Brooke chuckling ] All right. I’ve got to say this, I’ve been keeping it in too long. I just wanna be your logan again. I mean, look at where we are. Come on, we’re here at the colosseum. It’s truly amazing. It’s weathered so many storms, it’s endured so much, just like us. You know what I need you to do. I need you to open your heart. Take a hold of me and just hold on tight and never let go. You do still believe in us, don’t you? Please tell me you believe?

At the hospital, Austin advised Laura against going to Chechnya to search for Nikolas. Later, Ava met Austin in his office and shared her unsuccessful search for information. Austin suggested having Sonny fire Pilar to gain access to Sonny’s office. Reluctantly, Ava agreed to find a way to have Pilar fired.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, what are you? You do realize that it’s barely past breakfast time? I do. And do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place that sell liquor this early in the morning? Don’t joke about this. Listen, I wasn’t joking. The bottle that I had the other night just somehow mysteriously just disappeared.

So I had to get another one. Can I, can I please have my bottle back? No, you can’t. And if you’re wondering if I poured the other bottle out, I did. I confess and I would do it again. Son, listen, I get that you’re in pain about your dad. And that you’re tearing yourself out both of putting him in that coma, but this has got to stop.

Well, if it isn’t, commander Michaels didn’t expect to see you here. That was intentional.

So what were you doing behind the wall?

Dam it ej. I am more concerned about Megan killing Stephan than Nicole killing you. Why would she? What do you mean by that? For God’s sake? I was being facetious. Ohm supposed to be with Nicole right now at an appointment with a perinatologist, an expert in high risk pregnancies, one of the most sought after specialists in the country.

It was almost impossible to get an appointment, but I managed it. I am relieved because I thought Nicole had suddenly become homicidal. No, of course not. And honestly,

finding out that I was to be the father of her baby, I wouldn’t have predicted that it would mean so much to me. As you are well aware, she’s, she’s had a history of miscarriages and it’s all very heartbreaking, so her and I are very, very eager to find out what her chances are of carrying our baby to turn.

But now here I am with the appointment only an hour away, and our sadistic sister has got me tied up tighter than a rodeo calf. Yes.

Oh, Nicole, I’m so good you’re here. I just got a message from the perinatologist, so she should be here within the hour. Where is he? Jay? Is he around? Oh, you mean the man who’s supposedly excited to be the father of my child.

Thanks for letting me know. Is that about Colin guess? I tried to get him transferred to Bayview since he’s obviously in a bad state, mentally. Of course, Trask wasn’t going for it, no surprise. So he’s still at Salem PD and since he refuses to take my plea deal, probably end up at Statesville for the rest of his life.

Okay. What can I do?

Nothing. Except hold me.

Stop right there. Lucy, was he, excuse me. As much as I’m sure you would love them, they’re not meant for you. Oh, these are not meant for anybody because this is where they belong.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Pat, you are being extremely rude. Yeah. Well, at least I’m not a card carrying phony. Like this guy Unc Meister here is about a see through as as that underwear Xander gave you for Valentine’s Day. Look, I know you want me six feet under because I swapped out your priceless emerald for a phony. And now you’ve got double reason to want me dead because I am onto you.

Mr. Hoy toity. Mr. Too handsome for the room. This room. Anyway. Well, Gwenie here happens to be my truest and bestest friend in the entire world, and you have another thing coming if you think I’m just gonna sit back and watch you take advantage of her,

I was. Nearly getting acquainted with my famous family home, which is not your home. So what exactly are you doing here?

So you’re going to exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. It’s simple.

I’m done watching You hurt people.

Dammit. I have to get out of here. I have to get to that appointment. You know what? I didn’t. I didn’t know this meant so much to you becoming a father again, truthfully,

what means the most to me is Nicole’s happiness. I’ve got no pregnant twice before, as you know, and nevermind the drama surrounding those two pregnancies. That’s irrelevant. The important thing is that both times she miscarried and she was crushed. I don’t want her to have to go through that again. You really love her, don’t you?

I really do. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way about me, you know, EJ is the one who pulled strings to make this appointment happen, and now he’s not even coming. With no explanation, just some text that says, Ooh, whatever, you know, deal with it yourself. Okay. Those were not his exact words, but you know, I find it really surprising because EJ seemed really excited about this pregnancy.

Well, he is excited. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Maybe I’m, I’m hormonal, but I’m just trying to understand why he suddenly pulled a disappearing act. C, come on, gimme that. Come on, Val. Listen, I’m not hurting anybody. All right. Are you serious? Because the other night you were so wasted and ready to get behind the wheel of a car, and I’m just praying you don’t hurt somebody else.

I, Lord knows you’re already hurting yourself with all of this. Okay? Oh, you know, you’re right. Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just go on like everything is fine. I’m just gonna forget about the fact that I shot my dad, and I’m gonna forget that I put God sake Sean, no one’s asking you to forget it.

I’m just asking you to deal with it, but in the right way. Oh. Oh, okay. The right way. Okay. The right. And I’m assuming that you know what the right way is, so if you do, I’m all ears I’d to know. Okay. Well, it’s not drinking yourself into a stupor.

Listen, I just, I’m just asking you to maybe go talk to my mom. Okay. Maybe she can help you process all this guilt you’re feeling. You want me to go to therapy? Therapy be, I mean, come on. I mean, Bob is a lot cheaper, so he can stop joking about this. Listen, it’s, it’s not gonna be easy and it’s not gonna be immediate, but I do think that talking to someone about this will help give you some perspective, you know, so you’ll stop torturing yourself.

Maybe I want, maybe I wanna torture myself bell, huh? Do you not get it? Do I have to spell it out for you? Is it, I deserve to be tortured. I deserve to be miserable. That that is my punishment. You can’t mean that. I mean, every damn word of that.

Well, the doctor’s not gonna be here for a while, so there’s still time for EJ to get here. Yeah, of course. I’m sure you’re right. Yeah, listen, I need to get to my office, but I’ll look for you in a little bit, okay? Mm-hmm. Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, come on, ej. Dammit. Answer me pink.

Everything okay? Yeah. Hi, bill. I’m just, um, I’m just frustrated, you know, because I’ve been trying to reach EJ and he just finally sent me a text and I, you know what? It’s a long story and I’m, I, I, I just wish he was here. I’m sorry. Is this about you being pregnant? I, uh, I read about it in Lady Whistleblowers column.

Yeah, right. Well, it, it is so I guess the story is accurate then. And ejs the father. Huh? We did a paternity test. It’s definitive. Yeah. Wow. I guess that probably hit Eric pretty hard. Huh?

I must seem so needy to you. Hey, I know each other sometimes. God knows I’ve leaned on you a lot since we’ve been together. I’m here for you and I told you that

I just wanna be here. All day right in your arms. It’s fine by me. Don’t tempt me. I can’t. I have to be in court soon. Let me come with you. I can help you get through it. You would do that for me

with everything that my brother has done. I mean, the mayor still missing Abe’s or friends. He wouldn’t have even been in the hospital had it not been for Colin. He must be crazy to even wanna be seen out with me. And call me crazy. That was a two-way street. So was loyalty. You’ve been there for me. Like I said, why wouldn’t I be there for you?

Matt, I knew that you were trying to protect me, but you, um, I’m not trying. I’m succeeding Actually. You’re not, you’re not even being very clear right now. What exactly do you think is happening here? What, how, how, how, how am I taking advantage of Gwen? Oh, just stop. I know what you’re up to with your cheap grocery store flowers and your good manners, and your good looks and your good.

Okay, fine. I’ll give this one to you. Your great body. And you turn on the charm and suddenly the spectator is running this splashy front page sugarcoated profile about Salem’s latest Euro trash reject. In which you’re all, I know, I present as a narcissistic sociopath who wants to destroy the world, but deep down in just a cuddly teddy bear, God.

And this, this is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it? Von Liar, liar, pants on fire. All this great free publicity, Dimitri. Well, I will not stand idly by while you try and manipulate Gwen into giving you more and more, because lemme tell you she’s a real journalist and if she’s not gonna stand up for herself, then it falls on me.

Hmm.

Where does that leave us, Mr. Stark? I still sit down. Oh. Like you wouldn’t cheat, but go ahead. Kill me. If you must. At least I will go down knowing I was defending my best friend from your insulting and nefarious behavior.

My Commander Michaels, I’m insulted. Talk about baseless accusations safe act.

I know you have somebody in your sights right now. Who is it? Hope Kate, somebody else in town. Who’s in your way? Oh my look who’s come down with a terrible case of savior complex. So now your Salem self-appointed protector. Tell me, does the job come with a shiny tin badge, perhaps a Dakota rape? Somebody has to protect this town from you, and I’m proud to be the one to do it.

I owe the people a Salem that much after all the damage I did when I was under your control, and you were such a disappointment. Believe me, I’m about to become more disappointing to you.

You two,

what the hell is going on here?

Fuck mad. I simply stop by to express my thanks to Gwen for the story. That’s it. No ulterior motives, I swear. Right? Okay, Matty, you know you love best, right? And you know that I adore you, but sometimes you could be just a bit overzealous. And you can be dangerously dewy eyed and gullible at times. Gwen falling, shallowly.

Shallowly, is that a word? Shallowly. Shallowly. Pray to a man’s physical attributes, ignoring the fact that he’s a master manipulator with a heart of stone. Okay, that’s enough. Just Dimitri, as you recall. I’m sure. You remember yesterday I defended Matty and I think today he’s just trying to return the favor, return the favor way to downplay Guinevere.

I offered to die for you and he seems to forget that I am absolutely capable of taking care of myself, and that’s why your life has been such a better roses. You see Matty as a very loyal friend, so loyal. In fact, he sometimes passes the ability to take a hint. Not to mention my ability not to be fooled by a slick and slimy creep whose only attributed is that he looks like a cross between George Clooney and Ricky Martin.

Oh God. Look, look at the time, um, you have a deadline, don’t you? Yes. You have a column that you have to file now, right? Matty, right now I’ve got my eye on you. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Don’t forget it.

I’d like to apologize for my friend. He, um, sometimes has an overactive imagination. No, no. Um, actually I should be the one apologizing to you. You see? Now that we’re alone, I can tell you the truth that Sure. Odd little friend there. Well, he was absolutely right about me.

Uh, God. Sorry, Nicole. That was so insensitive. I’m just a little and no more than a little. Listen, I, I know it’s no excuse. I just had a really rough morning. Yeah. We’ll, join the club. What’s going on with you? It’s Shawn. Yeah, it’s uh, you heard what happened with his dad and how he was trying to save his mom and Yeah, I did.

And I also heard he is struggling with it. Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. And it’s just getting worse. So I thought I would bring him here to see my mom, but, um, you’re here alone. Well, I came anyway. Yeah. So I should probably go talk to her and get her thoughts on all of this. And, um, you don’t need to hear about my problems, but I am so sorry for what I just said about Eric.

I know it’s, it’s complicated. Okay.

Complicated. You have no idea.

So you think, Nicole, what she’s using you doesn’t have feelings for you? No, no, no. I’ve never said that. I’m, I’m just not confident that she loves me quite the same way that I love her. Why is that?

Oh, did you say the L word to her and she didn’t say it back, and how was that? Any of your concern? Well, just. Answer my question. It’s complicated. All right. Because of her past feelings for Eric Brady, though it might become less complicated now that he’s clearly moved on with that hateful lawyer that Baden noir of everyone of Salem.

You haven’t eaten a thing. Listen, I know you’re worried about your brother, but you got to eat so you can keep your strength up. This is not about Colin, it’s about you. Me. Did I do something wrong? No. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s about the offer you made me earlier when you said you’d go to court with me.

Well, it really touched me. I wanna support you because I love you. I love you too, Erin. Which is why I,

which is why what? Which is why I don’t want you to forget about the offer I made about us having a baby together. I haven’t forgotten. Why are you bringing him now? Oh, well, because you just do so much for me and I wanna do something for you. And that’s very kind and loving offer, but you have so much on your plate right now, and I don’t mean literally.

Seriously though, given everything that I’ve gone through and what you’re going through right now, I don’t think it’s the right time for us to have a baby. Why the hell not?

It’s starting to feel like Grand Central Station in here. I’m gonna have to talk to the staff about upgrading the locks. Whoa. Well, so much for being done with Megan Hathaway, right? Hmm? That’s Megan Demara. Who is it that you’re gonna take out next? Huh? Is she trying to get you to go after my mom again?

Hey, just slow down. It’s obvious you’ve been drinking. You g know you sound like my wife. You got, you got it wrong. Okay. I’m here to deal with Megan, not make a deal. We’re on the same side. Okay. And who, wait, who is it that asked you to do that? I, I, because I, I decide. I decide. I decide who’s on my side.

Okay. Thank you very much. Are you sure that you were sied by Bo Brady? Because you are absolutely nothing like him. Pathetic, drunk in little mansion. You’re the reason that I’m like this. Okay. How is it that you. How is it that you’re not in prison? Hey, how is it that you are walking around here free? Well, my parents after everything that you did to them, huh?

My mom and my dad. You keep your distance. Oh,

wait a second. Who’s the one that’s pathetic right now? Hmm? Who’s pathetic? Wait, are you scared, Maggie? Are you scared? Are you scared that you’re gonna have to pay for messing up my dad’s head and turning him into a zombie? Huh? Is that what you’re gonna, oh, come on, Shawn, let’s calm down. If you tell me where your dad is, I can go and apologize to him now.

Oh, wow. That’s That’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. An apology. An apology. Talk about a little too late you sadistic bitch. You know the minute, the minute that I thought of it, you were here. I knew, I knew that I needed to come here and I needed to do something. Yeah, Maggie, you know what? You, you were gonna pay, okay?

That is enough out of you, detective, unless you wanna have a bullet between your eyes.

Kate, what are you? He is dropping. Sorry, not sorry about letting in. So what did you hear? Well, I heard enough, although you girlfriend may not be a favorite of mine. That’s beside the point, which is, which is. Obviously you are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby. Something I know is very, very important to you.

So if there’s an offer, genuine one, why would you wait? Because it’s a serious decision. It’s not something you just rush right into, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, boring. Okay. I know you’re trying to do the responsible thing, but, but life is messy. I mean, it can be joyous. It can be thrilling, and then it can be depressing as hell.

You still have to plunge in and embrace the chaos. I mean, if you’re always using all of your energy and time to logic through everything, opportunities are just gonna pass you by and you won’t even notice because you’ll be so busy trying to do everything the right way, and all of a sudden you’re gonna end up on a boat in the middle of the ocean, God knows where, cutting the heads off fish and wondering why you didn’t do all the things you wanted to do.

Well, tell us how you really feel. Yeah, cuz it’s not that simple. Oh, I never hold back. Oh yes. It is that simple. I know about McCall and EJ Roman filled me in. So what so what That it didn’t work out. Screw it. Why don’t you make something else work out? Because if you wait, all you’re gonna do is get older.

I mean, if there’s something you want really, really badly, you need to make that happen, and you need to make it happen now.

Hey, speaking from experience, although it has been a while, um, When a woman isn’t expecting to hear, I love you, it does take some time for her to process it. Therefore, she might not immediately respond in kind. Well, obviously Nicole did not. But in her defense, I was unaware that she was pregnant. She was unaware who the father was.

I, well, I, I don’t know this if this would be comforting to you in any way, but, um, I wouldn’t say I love you too, under those circumstances, but Nicole and I have known the truth that I’m the father for several days now and she hasn’t said it. Yep. Ej, she doesn’t know if she’s gonna carry this baby to term.

And she’s in a very stressful position, said, just don’t expect too much too soon,

Kristen, if I didn’t know better, ID think you were trying to be helpful to your brother. Are you actually offering me emotional support?

And if anyone asks. I will deny it.

Oh, maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. Dammit. If I hadn’t tried to warn Stephan, I’d be with her right now at the doctor’s appointment, finding out where we stand. Instead, I’m here waiting for the craziest mirror of all time to decide our fate.

I wouldn’t if I were you, commander Michaels, you stay exactly where you are. That’s a good boy, Shawn Brady, you pathetic little weasel. Here I am grieving the loss of my beloved bow, and all you can do is drown yourself in a bottle of booze. Not to mention looking around everywhere you can for someone else to blame for the bullet that you put into him.

I know. I know what I did and I hate myself for it. But you know what? But the truth is I would do it again. I would do it again if I knew that I was saving my mom’s life because I thought, I thought my dad was gonna kill her. I wish he had. You should have let him because we’d all be better off then.

That’s right. That’s right. Shawnee. Boy, back away and don’t you dare take another step. I waited years, years to have my beloved bow back. And you, you ruined it in an instant. Well, guess what? I can ruin you in an instant. Megan. I’m, I’m a witness. You pull that trigger and you go straight back to prison. You silly, silly boy.

There will not be a witness if I go this far besides. This man broke into my house and threatened me. I am well within my legal rights to end his pathetic little life right now. I just hope that it won’t permanently stain my carpet with your blood. It’s one of my favorites.

So you really were just using me to clean up your image, a very unsportsmanlike of you. No, no, no, no. I, I would, I would never do anything like that. What I meant was that your, um, well, your persistent and very, very loyal friend was right to assume that I did come here with, well, with an agenda, uh, with her.

Then what is it? The truth is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met. That’s why I brought you these flowers,

Gwen, ever since I saw you at our family home, I just, I just felt something and ever since that day, I haven’t been able to get you outta my head and my heart. Forgive me, I, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m, I’m putting you on the spot. How could you possibly, well, how could you possibly have the same feelings for me?

What if I do.

You mean you, you actually have feelings for me.

You know, we had lunch the other day. I, I couldn’t believe how much we had in common, how alike we were. I. I thought I was being too obvious with my feelings. Honestly, must be my famous British Reserve for not showing it. Or maybe it was that my vision was just clouded by hope.

Well, I hope you’ve seen clearly now

watch closely.

Hey Sean. Come on. Stop Megan.

Okay. I know you think you got a case of self defense, but two dead bodies are gonna mess up whatever plans you have cooking, and we both know you always have something planned.

Good decision now. I’m gonna walk Shawn out. Shawn gonna walk out. You’re gonna put the gun down

and we all to fight another day. Let’s go. Sean, walk out. Let’s go.

Stupid Salem Protector. You are lucky. I need you for my plan. Still commander.

Which reminds me, what am I gonna do about those two down there?

Damn her. How long do you think she’s gonna let us stew down here? You tell me you are the one who’s been colluding with her. Okay. You know what? I owe you an apology for throwing in my lot with her. Well, in your defense, you had no idea. She made the bummer look like an older boy.

Ah man. When she cooked up that plan to escape from prison, I was determined not to get left behind. I just, it went along with the plan cuz I thought it was gonna be my only chance to get back with Rachel. I do understand that I. Oh, honestly, I mean, I didn’t mind plotting behind my siblings back. I mean, alls, alls fair and love and corporate governance, right.

God, I had no idea. She was such a crazy woman. Oh hell, she makes me look practically normal. Let’s hear it for normal. I’ll take that any day of the week. Hello? Hi Kayla. Can you sign a vj? No. I texted him a couple of times. Well, actually a couple thousand times, but I haven’t heard from him. He must be tied up somewhere.

Well, I’ll stay here with you so you don’t have to do this alone. All right. I just got another message from the doctor. She’ll be here in a few minutes. Oh, that’s great. I mean, at least we’ll find out one way or another what my chances are of carrying this baby to term.

You have to admit, I mean, everything Kate said makes sense. Oh, I always make sense. Excuse me. Okay. So if this guy needs further convincing, you’re going to have to handle that on your own because I have to go. But before I do, I have one more thing to say to you. You need to cease today. Okay? And I know that you know what that means, because you gave a sermon on that once when you were still wearing that funny little collar, remember?

Okay, look, I swear to you, I did not pay her to come and say all of that, but what do you think

here? Drink this. It’ll help.

After everything last night, I should have known you’d go after Megan today. I never should have let you leave like that. We could have shot you. Yeah. Well, I wish she had. Don’t say that. Listen, I would’ve taken that bullet. I would’ve taken that bullet because I deserve it. No, that is not true. Look at me.

Son, I love you.

I dunno, what am God’s name has she been doing up there this whole time? Who knows? Maybe she’s found someone else to terrorize. I just hope Stephen’s safe. Oh. God, I have a feeling that we’re gonna be down here for a long time. See? Might as well get used to it. There is no way in hell I’m getting used to this.

Oh, damn it. What Nicole? No, the appointment was an hour ago by now. She’s gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and I wasn’t by her side.

Nicole. Oh, oh. Hi. Everything. All right. Uh, yeah, you, I, I just came from that doctor that I told you about, the one that AJ arranged for us, the perinatologist, to see if I could carry the baby to term. Mm-hmm. What’d the doctor say? Well, I mean, as, as we suspected and, and of course I read up on this too, so I’m not really surprised, but there’s been so many changes since Holly was born and, and with the, uh, some new treatments, the doctor thinks.

The doctor thinks there’s very good chance. That’s great news. I’m happy for you and ej. Yeah, no, truly it’s, that’s wonderful news Nicole. And congratulations. We actually have some good news of our own too. We just discussed this a few minutes ago, but um, we’re gonna try and have a baby as well. Isn’t that great?

We’re gonna be pregnancy twins. It was thanks to Kate. Really, Kate? Yeah. She made me see that there’s no point in weighing around for something I really wanted.

So Shawn just stumbles in and blows up the whole thing. He was there to confront Megan. Obviously he was drunk, he was belligerent. Damnit. Damn it. So that’s it. You just canceled the whole thing. Well, I, I had no choice. She was gonna put a bullet in him. Well, of course she was going to put a bullet in him.

She’s a homicidal maniac. If we don’t stop her, she’s capable of putting a bullet in him. Hang on. Don’t worry. This is just a delay. When the time comes, I’m gonna go back and then you’ll never see or hear from Megan again.

All right, back to business. I know taking over the world was so labor intensive.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important?

Not as important as this? Oh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Elena: Your blood pressure is concerning and so is the pain. We’re gonna do everything that we can to get you more comfortable soon. What else can you tell me about your symptoms?

Sally: Um, my head is killing me and I’m nauseous and I have double vision.

Adam: And, uh, don’t forget about your breath, your oxygen intake.

Sally: Yeah. I’m having trouble catching my breath.

Elena: And has your ob-gyn put you on an anti-hypertensive protocol for preeclampsia?

Sally: Yes. And she told me to take it easy.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Adam: Sally. Sally.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Elena: Just breathe. Deep breaths. I told cameron to go to hell. What if he hurts faith or worse?

Nick: We’re not gonna let that happen, all right? We gotta stay positive.

Sharon: She has to be okay. She has to be okay, nick.

Nick: She will be, all right? She’s our miracle, remember?

Sharon: Okay. How are we gonna find her? We don’t know where cameron’s keeping her.

[ Knock on the door ]

Nick: Who is it?

Chance: It’s chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: Oh, man. He really nailed you. Yeah?

Nick: Yeah. So he got away through some tunnel he made in the house. I tried to chase after him, but he caved it in so I couldn’t follow him.

Chance: Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?

Sharon: No. He just bragged about how he outsmarted us all so he could get me alone.

Chance: Okay. Well, nick, you were right. He wanted us to think that he was holding faith at that garage. What else did he say?

Sharon: He said that he loved me and that we were meant to be together. He promised me that he would not hurt faith if I went away with him and I agreed to do it.

Nick: Then I showed up.

Sharon: Thank god.

Nick: He got away. We have no idea where he went or where he’s keeping faith.

Sharon: What do we do? How do we find her? We may have made things worse. Cameron left here even more unhinged.

Chance: Well, we know he always has a plan. We just gotta think like he does.

Nick: It’s a scary thought.

Chance: Yeah. So that’s why I’m hoping this, his suitcase, will help us find out where he is keeping faith.

Sharon: This is where you found the property deed to the garage?

Chance: Yeah. I’m hoping I missed something. Maybe a real clue.

Sharon: This was all part of cameron’s plan to fool us, wasn’t it?

Nick: There’s nothing in here. I doubt he’s read this.

Sharon: Wait, what’s this?

Cameron: You deserve better, faith. Your mom lets you down. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Cameron: God, you really are as beautiful as your mom.

[ Cameron chuckling ] Here I was all set to be nice. I mean, it’s not your fault your mom’s a bitch, is it? And all I’ve done is love her. For 20 years, that’s all I’ve done. Her heart, her mind, her face.

[ Cameron chuckling ] “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” God, I’m sorry about that. You know, the night I met sharon, I looked into her eyes and I knew she was the only woman for me. At that moment, I knew I couldn’t live without her. God knows I tried. Well, love is love. Fate is fate, right? So, I made my way back to her, ready to give myself to her completely. And what does she do? She lies through her teeth. She leads me on. She tells me exactly what I wanna hear. And then the moment that my back is turned, she stabs me in the back! You got any idea what that feels like? To give everything to someone? To bleed for them, to kill for them? And then they just dismiss you. Just treat you like you are garbage.

[ Cameron sniffing ] God, help me. God, I still love her.

Sharon: It’s a false bottom. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my god. This is mine. Cameron went through my things.

Nick: He was in your bedroom.

Chance: What’s this?

Nick: Yeah. These are the schematics of the genoa city sewer system. Hey, look, this tunnel right here, that goes right under the ranch.

Chance: That explains how he got on the property and into your house.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sharon: Unknown caller.

Chance: All right. This could be it.

Sharon: Where is she?

Cameron: You broke my heart, sharon.

Sharon: Where is faith? Is she okay?

Cameron: She’s not too happy. I told her what you did, how you treated me. She expects more from you.

Sharon: Don’t you touch her, cameron. I wanna hear her voice.

Cameron: Yeah, that’s, um, that’s not possible.

Sharon: Why? What have you done? Is she okay?

[ Faith whimpering ]

Cameron: She’s alive for now.

Sharon: Let me talk to her. I need to know that she’s all right.

Cameron: Kid’s sure got your fire, that’s for sure.

Sharon: Cameron, please, please, just let her go. I’ll do whatever you want, okay? Please.

Cameron: Oh, please. Now with the pleases? Little late for that, isn’t it?

Sharon: You promised that you wouldn’t hurt her.

Cameron: Yeah. And you promised me the world.

Sharon: Cameron, what– what do you want? Do you want me to come to you? You want me to run away with you? I will. I’ll do it. I swear. Just let her go, please.

Cameron: Well, and I should trust you? Words dripped outta your mouth like honey. And every one of them was a lie.

Sharon: I want my daughter!

Cameron: Well, you’ll get your daughter back. I just can’t guarantee the condition. Looks like the poor kid’s running outta oxygen.

Nick: Let her go, damn it!

Cameron: Even your useless hero, nick, can’t help you now. You picked the wrong horse, sharon. You turned your back on true love. You wanna find your child? She’ll be in the place where you expected to find my dead body all those years ago.

Sharon: Cameron, wait–

Adam: You see how much pain she’s in. I mean, isn’t there something that you can do for her?

Elena: We’re gonna do everything we can for her. Sally, I’m gonna contact your obgyn so I can get up to speed. I’ll know more once I speak to her, okay?

Sally: Okay.

Adam: Thank you.

Elena: Okay. I will be right back, but something tells me you’re in good hands.

[ Sally wincing with pain ]

Sally: Oh, this is not going as planned.

Adam: I know.

[ Sally wincing ]

Sally: Oh, I’m so scared.

Adam: Hey, hey, hey. Okay. It’s– hey, let’s not go there, okay? We are surrounded by professionals and they’re gonna give you the best possible care and they’re gonna take care of you and they’re gonna take care of our baby.

Sally: Yeah. What if I did this?

Adam: Sally, no. Okay? Stop.

Sally: I was so stressed out about nick and– and I insisted that we go out to eat and you told me that I should stay in and–

Adam: No, no, sally. Okay. Stop. You don’t get to blame yourself.

Sally: But I couldn’t sleep. Maybe I didn’t take my medication on time or–

Adam: Sally, stop. You did everything right, okay? This is just an unexpected blip. Everything is gonna work out.

[ Sally groaning in pain ] Can I get you some water? Hey, we’re having a– a summer baby. You know what that means, right? The holidays are right around the corner.

Sally: Oh, they are not.

Adam: They are if you plan ahead, and you know what? Halloween is first up. Our little girl, she’s gonna need a pretty sweet costume. I mean, what do you think? Ghost? Ghoul? Maybe a fairy princess? It’s kind of a tough decision. And then it’s gonna be thanksgiving and we’re gonna be making pumpkin pie with her.

Sally: Yeah. I know how much making those pies meant to you with your mom. And you said that she always wanted to make the holiday special.

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Even if it was just the two of you.

Adam: Some of my best memories ever.

Sally: Oh, we are definitely gonna make those pies. There’s only one problem.

Adam: [ Laughing ] What?

Sally: I’ve never been good at baking.

[ Both laughing ]

Adam: Oh, well, we are– we’re gonna fix that.

Sally: What if we can’t fix this, adam?

Elena: Okay. Dr. Chandler is on her way. In the meantime, I’m gonna give you an iv bag of magnesium sulfate.

Adam: Ooh, that– hey, that sounds pretty delicious.

Sally: What is that?

Elena: It’s an anticonvulsive medication to help lower your blood pressure.

Sally: Is it safe for the baby?

Elena: Yes, it’s safe for both you and the baby, but there is something else.

Sally: What?

Elena: We’re concerned about the severity of your symptoms. They could indicate the possibility of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes or a low platelet count. And all of these things can be life-threatening to both you and the baby. So with that said, there is a chance that we may have to induce labor. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Sally: It’s way too early for labor. The baby isn’t ready.

Elena: Sally, this is our most viable option. The longer we wait, the higher the risk for you and the baby.

Adam: Whatever the doctor says.

Elena: Adam, can you please excuse us? I’m gonna give sally a quick exam.

Sally: Can you please just call nick and tell him that I’m here and ask him to come?

Adam: I will call him. Just focus on taking care of yourself and our little girl.

Sally: Okay. God, you had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you told him you’d look out for me.

Adam: He didn’t need to ask, sally. I would’ve been here right by your side no matter what.

Sally: You’re the best.

Adam: Just trying to be a good co-parent.

Sally: Am I allowed to be scared now?

Adam: Just a little. Only ’cause the relief will be that much more profound. I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be right here, okay?

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: Adam… hope is a beautiful name.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Chance: Sharon, what did he say?

Sharon: He has faith in the sewer somewhere. He mentioned something about her running out of oxygen.

Nick: How? What the hell has he done to her?

Sharon: I don’t know. But I do know that he has completely lost his mind and we need to get to faith before it’s too late.

Chance: He’s right here. We can enter through there.

Nick: Here too. We come in from both sides, we cut off any escape route.

Chance: I’ll take a team in from the north. You take victor’s guys, go south.

Nick: Yeah, let’s do it.

Sharon: You’re not going anywhere without me.

Nick: Sharon, no. No, it’s too dangerous.

Sharon: I know him better than either of you. I know how his mind works. I know how deranged he is. I know what he’s capable of. If he is still with faith and he feels threatened in any way, he’ll– look, faith cannot be hurt because of my mistakes.

Nick: She’s not gonna be hurt.

Sharon: He does not bluff. He will kill her. I need to get to cameron right away. I need to be the one to end this.

Cameron: Fertile plain. That’s what the name sharon means, you know that? Imagine the kids we could have had. I used to think about that. A pack of kids. I always hoped that one of ’em would be a little girl like you, but now, I guess we’ll never know. But let me tell you something. You could help me with your mom. You– you– you– you could explain to her that I– I– I only did what needed to be done to remind her of our love, to make her understand that we– we belong together. You get that, right? You do it, we could be a real family. We could hang out. We could go on vacations. I guarantee that you can learn to love me at least as much as you– you think that you love your real dad. Sorry about your cat, by the way. That’s on your mom. Ignoring me like that, I had to do something to get her attention. I– I’ll– I’ll buy you a new cat if you want one. Any kind you want. Ground rules. You play nice, I take the gag off. Give you some water. We got a deal? All right. Come here. Ah, there you go. Hey, I’m not that scary. You know, your mom takes care of people. She’s– she’s kind and warm. She’s not– she’s not afraid to speak her mind. That’s part of her charm. Even when she, uh,

[ Laughing ] Even when she does it with a champagne bottle to the back of the head. You’re lucky you got such a great mom. Too bad you got such a son of a bitch for a dad.

Faith: My dad is the best.

Cameron: Really? I take your gag out and those are the first words outta your mouth? How about thank you?

Faith: He’s the best man that I know.

Cameron: Oh, really? Is that why he cheated on your mom? Broke her heart how many times? I would never do that.

Faith: You will never even be half the man that he is.

Cameron: Hey, big mouth. Don’t make me sorry I took that gag out. I’m trying to be nice. Here.

Faith: How do I know that it isn’t poisoned?

Cameron: Satisfied? Look, I’m sorry about all this. Dragging you down here. Whole thing got outta hand.

Faith: Then stop it. You can stop this.

Cameron: I didn’t start it! Nick newman did. Daddy. All because I adore a woman that he’s not man enough to love the way she needs to be. And again, I guess the course to true love was never smooth. I mean, think about it. There’s really only one bump in the road to– to– to sharon and I being together and that’s nick. Nick’s really the only one who needs to die. And then… I could be your dad. And I can love you and your mom and make you happy for the rest of your life. Here, come here. Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Drink, drink, drink, drink. Okay, there you go. You should not have done that. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Adam: Nick, look, I know you have your hands full, but, um, you need to know sally’s in the hospital. It’s serious. Um, her doctor is– is on the way, so she wanted me to call you. So call me, let me know that you got this and tell me when you’re on your way.

[ Adam sighing ] Just… let them be okay. They don’t deserve this. Do what you want with me, but just leave them alone.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victor: Son, what’s going on?

Adam: Have you spoken to nick? I’ve been trying to get in touch with him.

Victor: He’s dealing with that slime ball cameron kirsten. Why are you looking for him?

Adam: Look, if you talk to him, tell him to give me a call. I don’t care how late it is.

Victor: Wait a minute, son. Is there something wrong with sally and the baby?

Adam: I gotta go.

Elena: Adam.

Adam: How’s sally?

Elena: Situation’s taken a turn.

Adam: What does that mean?

Elena: Sally is unconscious.

Adam: What! What happened?

Elena: The medication isn’t working. Her blood pressure’s too high and she’s at an extreme risk for placental abruption. That is when the placenta separates itself from the inner wall of the uterus. It can be fatal to both her and the baby.

Adam: Fatal?

Elena: Adam, there is no easy way to say this, but if we are to save the baby, we need to take her now. But there is a chance that we could lose sally during the procedure. So I need you to make a choice. Do we save the baby or do we save the mother?

Cameron: You little bitch!

Faith: Is that my mother’s?

Cameron: Faith, you are trying my patience.

Faith: And you’re crazy.

Cameron: What did you say to me? What did you say to me? Don’t you ever say that again. You understand me?

Faith: What is it you expect to get from this? Why are you doing it?

Cameron: It’s destiny, fate, kismet. It doesn’t happen like it does in a book or a movie. Where– where– where it all just comes together in one some kind of a big, big cosmic event. In real life, you’ve gotta– you’ve gotta grab it and you hold it. And the more hopeless it becomes, the harder you work. All I’m doing here is I’m manifesting my destiny and sharon’s because she has forgotten what we mean to each other. Nick, nick got in her head and he turned her against me. And now I need to remind her of how much she loves me.

Faith: I know the men that my mother has loved. You are not one of them. You never will be. If you love her, why are you trying to take her away from her happiness? The life that she has.

Cameron: What life? She slings coffee to a bunch of losers. She needs love. The kind of love that only I can give her. The kind of love she begged for.

Faith: You beat her.

Cameron: Faith, you need to shut up.

Faith: It’s the truth! You’re a monster!

Cameron: Little girl, I’m warning you. Shut your mouth or I will–

Faith: Or what? You’ll hit me?

[ Rustling ]

Cameron: Sounds like showtime.

Faith: Mom, dad, don’t come any closer! It’s a trap! Please run! B-dubs’ sweet chile lime sauce has 3 perfect ingredients.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: What? You want me to choose between sally and our baby? I can’t make that decision.

Elena: I understand how difficult this choice is. This is where we are.

Adam: Come on. There– there has to be something that you can do. I mean, can’t you– you– you delay the c-section? You could stabilize sally and– and our baby.

Elena: I wish that were the case, but the baby is in distress. And if the placenta removes itself from the uterus, sally could hemorrhage and bleed to death.

Adam: And you want me to decide this right now? Right now, who lives and who dies? No, I can’t do that, okay?

Elena: I am so sorry, but time is of the essence.

[ Adam exhaling ]

Adam: Can I have a few minutes with sally, please? Please.

Elena: Two minutes.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: You know, I still remember the first time that I knew for sure that you were gonna turn my life upside down in the best way possible.

[ Adam exhaling ] How do I do this, sally? I’m the guy that screws up everything. Like when I broke up with you for your own good. How stupid was that? God, I’m the last guy that should be making life or death decisions. I need you to wake up.

[ Adam sniffling ] Come on, I need you– I need you to wake up and do that bossy thing that you do. And tell me how to handle this. I know what you would want.

Elena: Adam, it’s time. We have to move sally to the or. Have you made a decision? Adam, if you’re not able to make this call, the doctors will.

Adam: Wait!

Victor: Nick? Sharon?

Nikki: My god, what happened here?

Victor: I just got a call from adam. He was rather distraught. He was looking for nicholas and couldn’t get an answer. So, I came by to see if there’s a problem. Obviously, there is.

Nikki: Why was he trying to get ahold of nicholas?

Victor: I bet you it has to do with sally and the baby.

Nikki: Well, the fact that nicholas didn’t respond is concerning.

Victor: And that has to do with cameron kirsten, I bet you. I bet you, okay?

Nikki: Look at this place. What on earth? This. Oh, my god. Victor.

Victor: Son, as soon as you get this message, call me back. I wanna know where the hell you are.

Sharon: Oh, my god. Faith!

Faith: Mom, be careful. Cameron was just here. He’s gotta be close.

Sharon: Or he ran like the coward that he is. Let’s get you out of here. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Did he touch you in any way?

Faith: I’m okay. But he’s next level insane.

Sharon: Oh, gosh. I’m so sorry about this.

Faith: He kept talking about how much he loved you. How dad ruined his chances to be with you.

Sharon: There was no chance of anything. He’s a complete psychopath. He is. He always was. Damn it!

Faith: We’ve gotta get outta here, mom. I think he knew that you were coming. He must have set up a trap. He was working on something over there.

Sharon: Okay, done. Go! Let’s get you out.

Nick: Oh, thank god.

Faith: Dad!

Nick: Come on. Let’s get you outta here. Come on. Come on.

Cameron: Not so fast, sweetie. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Adam: How is sally? Is she okay?

Elena: It was touch and go, but we got through the worst of it. I was able to stabilize her.

Adam: And, uh, our baby?

Elena: Adam… there was no way to save them both. I’m so sorry.

Victor: Why wasn’t I informed when nicholas and sharon left the premises?

Guard: They went with the rescue team and detective chancellor. With the police involved I didn’t think it was necessary.

Victor: You answer to me. You don’t answer to my son. You don’t answer to the damn cops! You keep me apprised.

Guard: I’m sorry.

Victor: Get the hell out of here. You’re fired! Now!

Nikki: Victor, it’s the sewer system. He’s taken them down there again. No, no, no, no, no, no. Where are you going?

Victor: To look for my son and my granddaughter.

Nikki: Victor, please don’T. It’s too dangerous.

Victor: It’s my family, sweetheart.

Nikki: Victor!

[ Door closes ] Oh, my god.

Faith: Mom!

Nick: Let her go.

Cameron: Nah, we’re good. Ain’t that right, baby? So nick, does this make you feel uncomfortable seeing her in my arms like this? ‘Cause feels pretty good from here. Just like old times. Isn’t that right?

Nick: You bastard.

Cameron: Ah! Don’t move.

Nick: Let her go!

Cameron: Or what? What are you gonna do? You can’t punch me. You– you can’t throw me out of an airplane. You know that’s your problem, nick. You think a fist solves everything.

Sharon: Cameron, please, we can resolve this, okay?

Cameron: Really? Really? Cheek to perfect cheek and you’re gonna try and shrink me? You’re gonna talk me down? What do you think? I’m stupid? Let me tell you something, I’m in control here. Not you and not him! Me!

Faith: Don’t hurt her.

Cameron: Love hurts, faith. That is just a sad fact of life. One that your father is about to truly understand.

Nick: You know I’m the one you wanna hurt. You let sharon and faith go and then you and I solve this right here, man to man.

Cameron: Oh, man to man. Like you even know what that means. You know, buddy, I’m tired of this conversation. You got a choice to make, nick.

Nick: What choice?

Cameron: A simple one. You’re gonna choose who lives and who dies. Faith or sharon. And if you can’t make a decision, you lose both.

Nick: Faith is free. She can just leave. Dad’s security team there are a couple hundred yards down this tunnel. You go to them. Chance and the police have the other exit blocked off. Go now. Go!

Cameron: Hey, hey, hey, hey, not so fast. Hey, nick, take a peek under her sweatshirt. You’ll find something interesting. Surprise. So here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna blow faith into pieces or I’m gonna slit sharon’s throat and we can watch her bleed out. It’s your call. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Sally: You’re here.

Adam: Hey, I told you I wasn’t going anywhere.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Oh, you had me worried. I even prayed. Well, sort of, but it’s, um, it’s gonna be okay, sally.

Sally: The baby… how is she?

Cameron: Sharon or faith? What’s it gonna be?

Nick: You son of a bitch!

Cameron: Yeah, I am a son of a bitch. But so are you. You took everything from me. My life, my freedom, the woman I love and you lost nothing. You just kept living your life. The golden little rich boy. Well, guess what? I’m tired of losing, nick. It’s your turn. You got 30 seconds and I swear to god I’ll kill them both.

Nick: You hurt either one of them and I promise you, you will not leave this room alive.

Cameron: Oh, come on, man. You don’t think I know how this ends? I’m not walking outta here. But I swear, I am gonna destroy your life before I go. Say a name, nick. Come on, boy. The clock is ticking. Say a name! Say a name or I swear to god I will kill them both! Five, four–

[ Groaning ] God! You bitch!

Chance: Get on the ground! Cameron, get your hands up and on the ground!

Cameron: Sharon.

[ Groaning ] Ow.

[ Chuckling ] How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

[ Groaning ]

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Billy: That’s from traci? “Calling a family meeting. No excuses.” You get the same thing?

Ashley: Yeah. What happened?

Adam: Do you need the doctor?

Sally: [ Sobbing ] No! I want her! I want her, adam. But you let her die. You’re the reason that she’s dead.

Chance: Well, before we take this off, the explosives are gonna have to be carefully deactivated one by one.

Nick: And you can do that, right?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Dice rattling ] It looks like the tide is turning. Not so fast, hamilton. You talking to yourself? Uh… what do you want to hear? What? No friends? Well, that, and tracy’s back in town, and I’m practicing. You know, I-I can’t let her beat me. Obviously. I mean, she’s impossible to deal with with normal circumstances. If she got a win — I gotta stay on my toes. Well, maybe I can help. I keep forgetting this place serves earl gray by default. I’m not a fan of earl gray. Okay. So take it back. They’ll give you something else. I’m not gonna take it back. Okay, martyr. Why are you so cranky? Somebody on your mind? If you are referring to D.A. Scorpio, no. Holly left town. Robert told me himself. That sounds good. Isn’t it? He couldn’t say when or if she’d ever return. Sounds like a win to me. She’s gone. He’s here. So are you. I know you have a lot going on right now. I wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important. Did you get arrested again? No. But I do need your help. With what? Exposing gladys corbin. Here I am. Half an hour late. I’d imagine it takes time to get all suited up. And the hand washing. But that is not what distracted me. I got held up by an e-mail. I have no concept of time in this room. I’m just glad you’re here. Me too. You look so much better. Thanks. I don’t want to sound insensitive, but your eyes look a little bit red. Have you been crying? Time to rethink deception’s concealer formula. Sasha, what’s going on? I was crying because of nina. Any news from the pikeman camp? Ah, good. Yeah, just keep me posted. And, dex, um… look, it’s important that sonny thinks things are status quo. I still don’t want him to know that we had any connection.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Okay. Michael. How’s willow doing? Hey. Well, she’s — she’s holding her own. Sasha’s in there with her right now. Wait. So no more phones? Yeah. Yeah. We still have to wear masks and gowns, though, to keep the room sterile, but, yeah, she’s only allowed one visitor at a time. Well, that’s great. I mean, I’m sure she’ll appreciate the human contact. Yeah. Uh, what about you? I’m actually trying to avoid human contact. Yeah, everybody’s gathered up on the 10th floor waiting on word about ned, and I don’t really want to get in the way of, um… of, uh, yeah, brook lynn’s sweet granny tracy?

[ Door opens ] How is he? Dr. Ashford said that it’s about time to bring ned out of his twilight sleep. Well, that sounds hopeful. Is it hopeful?


You know what’s, um… you know what’s amazing is, this — this game that we’re playing, backgammon, I mean, it dates back more than 5,000 years. Didn’t realize I was in for a history lesson. Please enlighten me. Well, they say — that was lucky — gilgamesh, you know, the mesopotamian king that was searching for immortality, he would play. Well, I guess he’d want to do something if he was going to live forever. Right? Right? And then, you know, big-time — big-time player? Cleopatra. Oh, wow. And maybe the best of all, lucille ball. Yeah. Lucy and sammy davis, they would just take over these big hollywood parties and just sit down and start playing backgammon. I hope you’re not trying to distract me with all this incredible information and dazzling charm. The dazzling charm, it just — it comes naturally. The backgammon history is, you know, just a bonus. Mm, I see. So you’re a charmer and a nerd. You know, that’s a winning combination. I’m — I’m sorry. Did you just call me nerd? Oh. Wow. You just beat the nerd. I think I like this game. Robert told me that his complicated life just got less complicated. And isn’t that attractive? Anyway, and then our conversation became a whole lot more complicated after olivia quartermaine walked over and started pressing robert for inside information on the sec case and was there a possible deal on the table where my client carly could give up my client sonny. And you were all ears, weren’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Well, of course I was. Robert didn’t seem to appreciate that. I… I just don’t know if we’re compatible. You really like those bad-boy clients, don’t you? I like the bad-boy clients?

[ Coughing ] Jerry jacks.

[ Coughing ] Julian jerome.

[ Coughs mockingly ] Okay, stop. Everyone to their corners. Okay. Fine.

[ Chuckles ] Anyway, none of this is what I wanted to talk to you about, anyway. -No? -No. Okay. I am consulting on a new case, and I need your great wisdom. Have you ever heard of bitzecure? Bitsecure? No, no, no — Z. Bitzecure. It’s cryptocurrency. Oh, I — no. Cryptocu– I don’t do that. I know. Well, neither do I, but just stay with me. It’s a digital-currency security startup, and our client is the C.F.O. Who is being accused of stealing the keys to a big wallet, which has somehow gone missing. A big wallet? Yeah, but it’s — it’s not a real wallet. It’s a — it’s a digital wallet. And he says he’s being framed by the C.E.O., Who is apparently a real “crypto bro,” according to my associate. Well, that’s a “he said, he said.” The wife of the crypto bro C.E.O. Says she actually witnessed our client downloading funds, so it’s a “he said, she said, he said.” Well, it sounds like you don’t believe the “she said.” So, do you have any evidence? Mnh-mnh. That’s the issue. The security is all in the digital ether, so there’s no paper trail. It’s — it’s keystrokes and clicks, and, no, I don’t believe her. And according to my associate, her husband is a real shark. So where does the shark swim, and what does the shark eat? Are you having a stroke? What are you talking about? Hunger. I may not know anything about tech bros, but I know something about bros. And if it were me, I would be looking into the proclivities and the extracurricular activities of this certain C.E.O., And you might find something that his wife doesn’t like. And if she is going out on a limb for a lying cheater, or worse, she might think twice. Alexis davis, you are yummy and brilliant and devious. All’s fair in love and law.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I’ll fill you in when you get here. I’m at the stables. Thanks again, sam. Does your case really look that bad? No one can disprove gladys’s claim that I stole that bracelet. Well, hang in there. You have the full support of my entire family. Granny aside, we’d hate to lose you. You mean leo would. No, we’d all miss you. We’ve all gotten used to having you around, especially leo.

[ Sighs ] You’d miss me if I went to prison, wouldn’t you, boy? Apparently, there’s a few people out there who would. Don’t worry, comet. I won’t let gladys get rid of me that easily. The hope is that the induced sedation allowed ned’s brain to rest, preventing any further swelling and even decreasing it. “The hope” — that’s carefully worded. We medical professionals are discouraged from giving blanket assurances. But I can tell you that ned’s medical team is cautiously optimistic. Thank you. Okay. So, uh, what’s next? We’ll wake him up and further evaluate his cognitive state. I was — I was told that there was a slight chance that, uh… that there would be some lasting effects. Like what? We’re getting ahead of ourselves. Instead of rattling off a list of possible complications, why don’t we start with removing ned’s I.V. Sedation and go from there?


Miss it, don’t you? Miss what? Being a lawyer. I can hear it. Miss it? Being a lawyer is like voluntarily signing up to go into battle with an army of paperwork and legal jargon. It’s like navigating a perverse maze of precedents and cases that have no mercy. Yes, but — but cracking the case, wiping the smug grin off the face of opposing counsel. You never did that to me, of course, but then there’s winning, winning, winning! Pages and pages and pages of statutory law that you have to memorize only to find out that it’s just been revised. It’s like putting together a giant puzzle. No sleep. You get no sleep. You have no life because you know that you have to be in court for the next 20 days in a row. That’s why we have caffeine. Only to watch an innocent person be exonerated and order restored to a chaotic world. Oh, my god. I miss it so much. It’s like losing a limb. I miss arguing in court. I love to argue. And — and the thrill of advocating for justice.

[ Breathes deeply ] Oh. That’s who I am. Yeah. I got to be doing it, diane. I can’t just stand on the sidelines and watch. You mean like a reporter? Sam: Cody? This better be important. I have to get back to the hospital. Yeah. How’s ned? Uh, leo and brook lynn were here earlier. So was, uh, tracy. Oh. You met tracy. Yeah, it was quite the experience. Although, you know, she’s a mother who’s worried about her son. You know, they’re all worried. Yeah, exactly. Dante is worried. We were at the hospital supporting his mother. So if you wouldn’t mind just keeping this brief, what’s your plan? Okay. Well, that’s what I need your help with. Uh, wait. I thought you needed help executing a plan, not brainstorming the whole damn thing. Help’s help, sam. You’ve never had problems executing your own schemes before. Okay. Way harsh. Besides, you have proximity to the corinthos family.

You could gain inside knowledge on gladys a hell of a lot easier than I could. Besides, you’re the only one who knows the whole story and believes me. No, I do not know the whole story. You never told me gladys’s motive for framing you. But you do believe me, right? Nina made you cry? What has she done now? No, no, it’s not what you think. These are tears of joy. I’m in a parallel universe. Nina sparked joy?

[ Chuckles ] Very funny. You must be feeling better. I’m just trying to process. I know that your relationship with nina has been… disastrous. Fraught. But — and this is all my fault, but there was a time when nina and I were at odds. Remember? And now you’ll tell me again how that’s all changed? It has changed. Nina just wrote me the most wonderful letter of recommendation to end my guardianship. Sasha, that’s great. I’m so proud of you. Thank you. I am finally ready to move forward. How about you? So, tracy’s putting you through the paces, huh? Oh, yeah. Now I know how comet feels. You know, she’s not as bad as she seems. Really, really, look, when the chips are down, she loves her family, and she’s — she’s extremely loyal. Maybe — maybe too loyal. But she loves brook lynn. Even though they have this whole love-hate thing going on. Yeah. But brook lynn can hold her own. It’s actually kind of fun to watch. Oh. Well, it looks like someone’s getting desensitized to the quartermaine ways. Never. Do you know what I want to know, though? How are you holding up through all this? Honestly, it’s a — it’s a bit of a roller coaster. But we’re getting to the other side. I’m just very, very thankful for, uh, the nanny, because with wiley’s endless energy and trying to keep amelia on track, it’s a — it’s a nonstop juggling act. Yeah, I can’t imagine that. It’s got to take a lot of strength and patience, especially while worrying about willow. How long is this gonna take? What, do you have a pickleball championship? Why don’t you go wait outside with dante and leo, okay? Tj said it could be 20 minutes, it could be a few hours. You’re acting like a 6-year-old on a road trip. Just stop. Where is the doctor? Can’t they be doing more? What happened to the quartermaine name? Monica has let this place run down. Seriously, you cannot sit in your own son’s icu room without complaining about everything? He’s used to it. It’s just like home. Dad? I rest my case. Sweetheart? We’re here.


So today is the last day of being just… nurse baldwin. How does it feel? Feels good. It feels good. Obviously, I’m happy to have been chosen for this position, but I just hope I can do some good, you know? Maybe bring some healing to this hospital. Lord knows it can use it after losing epiphany. Yeah. I mean, it’S… hard on everyone, but I think you’re the right person to do it. Bring back a little of that humanity that we all need. Thank you. Welcome. I keep telling myself that this is not about me, this is about my service to the patients and all the staff who work so hard. I have been linked to this hospital my entire life. I mean, my grandfather was dr. Hardy, the symbol of virtue, the true hero of general hospital. It’s in this place that I have had my highest highs. And my lowest lows. This place has put me back together more times than I care to count. And let’s not forget all the legends of the nurses’ station. There’s jessie brewer and bobbie spencer and epiphany. Sometimes I wonder if I’m strong enough to be like them. No, you are strong. In the end, you might be the strongest of them all. I bailed you out, remember? If I thought you were a thief, I wouldn’t have bothered. Thanks. You know what? Maybe it’s best if we do handle this legally. Why don’t you ask dante for help? I didn’t want to compromise him. Wait. What? But compromising me, not a problem? Well, I mean, I could just skip town, but then you’d be out your bail money. No, I would find you in a heartbeat. I have no doubt. Ah. Just kills me that sasha doesn’t know who gladys really is. Which is why we need to prove that that bracelet was planted. Sasha needs to know that gladys corbin can’t be trusted. Uh… so does port charles. Let’s just focus on keeping you out of jail, please. Let’s not bite off more than we can chew. Comet says, “why limit ourselves?” My heart breaks a little every single time there’s this — this moment with amelia and willow’s not there to experience it. I mean, the other day, amelia, she — she looked up at me, and she smiled at me for the first time, like she really saw me. And it was — it was incredible, chase. It really was. But willow, she wasn’t there. She — she was here. You know, I try to record everything I can on my phone, but it’s not the same. Willow, she — she — she needs to be there, you know, experiencing it firsthand to see the look on amelia’s face light up. It’s time that she’ll never get back. She’ll be able to watch those videos forever, and she will treasure every single one of them even more because she will know that you took the time to record when you were going through your own hell. I just met with dr. Montague. He’s the psychiatrist the court appointed to evaluate me. And…how’d it go? Pretty good, I think. It’s hard to know for sure. Well, I am sure dr. Montague was very impressed. Why wouldn’t he be? You’ve survived things that would’ve broken anyone else. You’re one to talk. Well, having the support of friends and family has made all the difference. Same. And like it or not, willow, but nina was a big part of that for me. She was there for me when I gave her every reason to hate me. I pretended to be the thing that she wanted more than anything. She was searching for her daughter. And what valentin and i did was horrible. But nina somehow found the strength and love to forgive me. And that could not have been easy. Sasha, I see what you’re doing, but nina has put me and the family I love through the wringer. Some things just can’t be forgiven.


Time for a hardy to be in charge again. I mean, your gram was a legend in her own right. I mean, this is… it’s kind of your destiny. Those are some big shoes to fill. Well, if the shoe fits, cinderella… and I’M… I’m sorry I couldn’t join your celebration last night. Couldn’t or wouldn’t? I realize girls’ night out isn’t for everyone, but, uh, we missed you. “We”? I missed you. Yeah? Well, hopefully there’ll be many more celebrations, but I know you needed a night out with your best friends. I would like to think you’re one of them. No doubt about it. Oh, thank god! I’ve been praying so hard. I knew that you would wake up! Oh, olivia, back off. His brain’s been deprived of enough oxygen. Sweetheart, say something. Don’t rush him. Water. Water. Water. Okay. You got it. Okay. I got it. Okay, here you go. Here you go. You got it.

[ Chuckles ] That was fast. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Welcome back. You know why you’re in the hospital?

[ Laughs ] That dig was duly noted, by the way. That dig was meant with no disrespect. Oh, of course not. And just so you know, you’re not the only person I complain to about my job. While you were chatting it up at the savoy with robert’s ex, I was complaining to felicia about my job. You? Complain? All right. I believe in free press. I believe in reporters. And maybe my passion for complaining ju fuels that commitment.

[ Sighs ] I just wish I were more fulfilled at the invader. But…? Well… I mean, I sometimes make a difference. I sometimes shine a light on a story that’s important. But those stories hardly ever happen. I mean, for every impactful story, there’s a gazillion mundane, stupid ones about celebrity gossip or… fashion. It’s like finding a needle of significance in a haystack of triviality. It’s not exactly woodward and bernstein. Hardly. Or maybe I’m just spreading myself too thin and I need to take advantage of my support team, you know, and do some serious outreach. Yes. Your support team. That now includes —

[ Clears throat ] — The wonderful esme prince. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right, chase. I, uh… I need to focus on the future. Because once willow’s released, we’ll have the rest of our lives to make more moments — together. And you will. But until then, don’t forget to send a flare up when things get tough. Your friends are here. We want to help. Thanks. I will tell you one thing, though. Despite all the angst and the craziness with the kids, man, I would not trade being a father for anything. I can see that. So, what about you? You ever think about children? Wow. Talk about turning the tables. That a touchy subject? No, no, of course not. I mean, I grew up in a great family. My dad was always there, and my mom was kind of busy, but they both loved me. So, what about it? Do you want kids of your own? Let me put it this way. I definitely love kids. And brook lynn and i are back together. But as for my own, I mean… that’s a long way off in the future. Well, I’ll tell you what. Your future kind of has a habit of catching up to you. Sooner than you think. Your relationship with nina is complicated, but so is mine. I lied to her, I conned her, I broke her heart, and I put brando through hell with my addiction. Both times I was the recipient of grace. Forgiven. And just recently, I wrongfully accused a friend of something. And you were forgiven? He doesn’t hold it against me, but… he’s not sure he can be my friend. I’m sorry. So am I. It’s painful wanting to connect to someone you’ve wronged, even if they don’t owe you a thing. Sam: Your innocence is gonna be a lot easier to prove than gladys’s guilt. Tell that to my lawyer. What lawyer? Scott baldwin. What?! Scott baldwin? Why — why isn’t he dealing with this? He’s working on something else for me. Something bigger than a conviction for grand larceny? We have to prove that gladys was in your pants the night of the nurses ball. My jacket, thank you very much. The pcpd already looked into all this. Okay? There was no surveillance footage. There are other ways.


Want to play? Yeah, I want to play. Are we still talking about backgammon?

[ Both laugh ] Yes, finn, we’re talking about backgammon. Okay.

[ Both laugh ] Just checking. All right. I’m a little afraid.

[ Laughs ] I think you cheat. Oh. I want that cup, though. That’s my lucky cup. Give it to me. Thank you. Lucky cup it is.

[ Dice rattling ] You’re pretty when you shake. Oh, thanks.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Okay. That wasn’t good. According to what was said earlier, no.

[ Dice rattling ] Okay. So, do i move these over? How did you — how did you beat me? I don’t know.

[ Laughs ] How did you beat me? I don’t know what to do. Okay. There you go. Esme prince, the latest entrant to the cassadine family squid game?

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, I did that as a favor for laura. That’s some favor. Esme is A… not-nice person. Snake? Snake. That’s mild. You sure that’s wise? Since when have I done anything that’s wise? Honey, you’re one of the wisest people I know. Sometimes you just get a little… led astray by — by your passion and idealism. Well, in this case, I was just trying to provide some stability to esme so she doesn’t run off with laura’s grandchild in tow. Very generous of you. Actually, I have a soft spot for esme. Oh. I know firsthand what it’s like to have a psychotic parent, and she’s got two. And gregory actually keeps her calm. Gregory? Yeah. He’s agreed to join the editorial board. Well, I thought you were persona non grata after you went over his head and called the dean. Yeah, well, we have an understanding now. I can be his friend and care about him. I just can’t meddle. And the editorial board is actually really happy to have him, and he’s happy to be in his erudite element. So all’s well that ends well. To quote the bard. Can I read you something? Sure. “Sasha gilmore is not defined by her past. No matter our mistakes, shortcomings or circumstances, everyone deserves another chance to build a life that once seemed impossible.” That’s what nina wrote about you, isn’t it? She writes well. ‘Cause she writes from her heart? But maybe… she was also writing about herself. Maybe it’s a prayer of some sorts. All I know is that nina’s capacity for forgiveness is massive. Something tells me that it might be hereditary. You know, I am glad that you and brook lynn are back together. You’re good for each other. Well, there’s never a dull moment, that’s for sure. Last weekend, she took me to the beechers corners flea market. And would’ve thought that logan’s or the cartullo showroom was more of her thing. Yeah, me too. But she said she had a surprise for me, and then she whisked me away on this whirlwind tour, but, dude, she was possessed. It was like she had a sixth sense for finding vintage clothing. That sounds wholesome enough. Brook lynn is usually all over the place, but you ground her. You know she can be her own worst enemy. I’ll say. But you’re like a moral compass for her. You know, it’s just… it’s important that each person brings something to the relationship so they can complement each other. That’s what willow does for me. She really helped mellow me out and focus on what really matters. And you do that for brook lynn. Really? Definitely. Okay. Well, if I do that for brook lynn, what does she do for me?

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. You tell me. My head…hurts. You have a head injury. We’ll get you a drip to manage the pain. Do you know how you hurt your head? Did I fall? Yes. At the metro court pool. The pool…

[ Laughs ] Hopefully you won’t sue the owner. What I want to know is why you came barreling out like you had some earth-shattering news to tell drew. What got you all fired up?


What is wrong with you? What? Come on. No. I’m gonna take you to my trapeze class. It is such a good workout. You know, I know a girl who broke her foot playing pickleball. Fine. Then we’ll do yoga. It’s nice. It’s safe. It’s close to the ground. Stretching and core. Yeah, that sounds hard. You are impossible. But consistent. Hmm. I think the tide is turning. We’ll see. Hmm. Ooh. Oh. Ouch. That — that’s — that’s got to hurt a little bit. All right, settle down, genghis khan. Genghis khan playing backgammon? Are you sure? Well, if he did, I’m sure this world would be a much different place. Yes, it would.

[ Dice rattling ] Ooh. All right. I don’t like this game anymore. Anyway, I have to get back to work. I don’t want that new head nurse breathing down my neck. Hmm. Hey, she’s okay. I’ve heard some good things about her. Let’s hope it stays that way. I’m sure it will. Good night, dr. Finn. Good night. The tide is turning. Hi. Spinelli. No, wait — yeah. Um… I’ve got a job for you. Do you think I’ve been too hard on nina? I did not say that. There’s been real harm done. All I’m saying is, the story doesn’t have to end there. I told wiley new beginnings are always possible. Your mother-in-law framed me. But, look, I — at least you don’t believe that I’m a thief. Okay? And thank you. But someday, I hope, you know that I’m the one who’s telling the truth to you. Wiley’s got a wise mommy. I’m gonna go check in on brook lynn and see how ned’s doing. Or I could just text her, and then I could avoid tracy. Ah, but that’s not really your style, is it? No. No, I gotta face things head on. I just don’t want brook lynn to have to run interference with tracy. Then again, it could give her something to do to take her mind off her dad. Right. Uh, how is ned doing? I know they were waiting for dr. Ashford to wake him up from the induced coma. Brook lynn brought leo in to sit with him earlier. Well, tell her I’m thinking about her, okay? I will. And send willow my love. Will do. And, uh, chase, for what it’s worth, I, uh — I think you’d be a great dad. This is all a bit fuzzy. T.J.: Totally normal. Let’s start with this. What year is it? 2023? What city are we in? Port charles, new york.

[ Chuckles ] Seems like you’re on the road to recovery, ned. You gave us a scare, though. My name is not ned. It’s eddie maine.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Like she needs someone to spot her.

Liam: Yeah. Cue her to pretend to struggle, in three, two, one.

Rj: Got it?

Dakota: Yeah. No.

Rj: No, okay.

Liam: Yeah, there it is.

Rj: Okay.

Dakota: Thanks. I guess I hit my limit.

Rj: Hey, you almost had it. You were that close. I’m not gonna lie.

Dakota: Might try again after I rest a bit.

Rj: Yeah, sure. Just let me know, I’ll be over there.

Dakota: Okay.

Finn: And ten.

Rj: What?

Liam: I think you should have offered her a towel.

Rj: Why? She wasn’t exactly breaking a sweat?

Finn: No. I meant for the drool, man.

Rj: Oh, come on. Very funny. Very, very funny.

Liam: Hey, rj, don’t look now, but I think you have another admirer.

[ Jackhammer pounding ] You’re going to have a monopoly on spotting services, you know that?

Rj: You are making me regret bringing both of you here right now. That’s what you’re doing.

Finn: We’re going to behave, right, liam?

Liam: Speak for yourself. I’m not behaving. By the way, thank you for inviting us. The jackhammer really helps me keep tempo.

Rj: Well, what can I say, you know? I felt bad, you know. You two lonely bachelors abandoned by my sisters in L.A. I just feel terrible.

Liam: Aw.

Finn: My wife on the way to rome, we’re stuck here in L.A.

Liam: Okay, listen, I’m– I am so excited for hope. I’m really proud that she has this opportunity. My only– my only thing is, no offense, I know he’s your brother, but why does thomas have to tag along? Like, I feel like he should be here in L.A., Not in rome with my wife.

Ridge: All right. It shouldn’t be too much longer.

Brooke: Oh, thank god. I can’t wait for italy.

Carter: Yeah, I think we all can’t wait.

Ridge: You know what I do want to do? I wanna go to that gelato place you found last time.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, you read my mind.

Hope: Oh, gosh, yes. Just bring on all the food, every kind of pasta.

Brooke: Oh, there’s my girl.

Steffy: Just make sure you use napkins. Thomas worked his butt off designing those gowns. The last thing I want to see is marinara all over those gowns.

Hope: Okay. Deal. We have an agreement. Anything to make this preview a success.

Thomas: You know, I really am amazed by you, carter. I mean, you getting the permits for this and it’s such an amazing place.

Carter: When hope asked for an iconic backdrop, I thought, “you might as well dream big, right?”

Hope: I’m so excited. I mean, I’m also a little nervous. I mean, I usually have butterflies before a forrester runway but– but this…

Thomas: In a place so historic?

Hope: It’s going to be wild.

Carter: Wildly successful, you mean.

Hope: Well, if it is– no, when it is, it will be in large part thanks to you, carter. I mean, all of your hard work on this line. I– I really don’t think we could have pulled it together without you. And you, my fearless lead designer over there. I mean, I just am in awe of your artistry and your talent and I really don’t think we’d be on a plane heading to rome if it wasn’t for your help. So, I’m very thankful for you and for the beauty of your work.

Rj: I get it, man. I totally understand why you feel guarded around thomas, especially when it comes to hope, you know.

Liam: I mean, yeah. But aren’t you, a little bit? Like hope’s your sister, you can’t be that comfortable with the role that he’s playing in her life, especially given all the crap he’s pulled.

Rj: Yeah. I– I don’t know, man, it’s weird. I’m kind of a brother to both, sort of.

Finn: Well then, to complicate it even more, the consensus seems to be that thomas has really changed this time.

Liam: I know. I wish– trust me. I wish I could buy that. It’s just hard, especially when hope’s well-being is at stake. Hey.

Liam: I mean, it’d be different if I could just believe in thomas, you know. If I could just, like, magically convince myself that he’s changed, but every time I try, I just, I can’t do it. And it doesn’t matter like how good he’s being, it still comes off as like phony to me. Like calculable.

Rj: I– I get it. I mean, there might be a chance that you’re right, but I doubt it. I mean, come on, look at him. He’s got way too much to lose. He’s got his career, his kid. I mean, he’s got every reason to be on his best behavior, right?

Liam: I know. I know, but I’m saying he’s had those reasons in the past and he was still willing to risk his career and his relationship with douglas. So like, what, why– why does everybody think this time it’s gonna be different? Like, help me understand that.

Finn: Look, liam, I don’t think rj and I should necessarily be trying to sway you on this. I mean, this is about your wife, protecting your family. You should trust your instincts on this, especially on this. But I will say, I have seen noticeable changes in thomas’s behavior. It used to be with thomas, you got a sense that he was always holding back, never giving you the full story about anything, which he wasn’T. Super shady dude. The feeling’s gone. ‘Cause when I look him in the eye now, I see clarity. I see a guy who’s figured things out.

Liam: Yeah. Okay. But like– like what if, what he’s figured out is just how to play us all better?

Finn: Well, maybe, but I’m with rj on this. I doubt it. Honestly, you want the best evidence that thomas is on the right path? It’s steffy. You trust her judgment, right?

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: Usually, yeah.

Finn: Yeah. Well, steffy believes in thomas. She’s tried to convince you, right?

Liam: Yeah, she has. Multiple times.

Finn: Okay. And, you know, steffy. I mean, there’s no way she would even consider defending thomas if she didn’t truly mean it.

Liam: No.

Rj: No, no one’s more of a straight shooter than steffy, right?

Liam: That’s valid. I mean, yeah, that’s a valid point. And honestly, I’m– I take comfort in the fact that steffy is going to be on this trip. She even told me she would, like, keep an eye on things for me.

Rj: On what? On hope and thomas?

Liam: Yeah, because if there’s anything concerning going on, steffy will see it.

Hope: And… I mean, um…

Thomas: It’s something.

Hope: Oh, this is actual… here we go.

Carter: Your brother and hope, who would’ve thought, right? Everything they’ve been through and you wouldn’t know it looking at how they relate now. The bond they created, the team. It’s so great seeing two people connect the way they do. It’s like they totally get each other.

Steffy: They certainly do.

Thomas: I didn’t know we were able to do that. Let me play around a lot more.

Hope: I know.

Ridge: All right. I talked to the pilot, we’ll be landing soon.

Brooke: Oh, good. I can’t wait to get off this plane.

Ridge: Long flight, I know, but it’s worth it.

Brooke: It is so worth it. There’s no city quite like rome.

Ridge: Something about it being romantic and stuff, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Did I say that?

Ridge: Once or twice, yes.

Brooke: Well, I know you don’t believe in romance and destiny right now, but I’m hoping that rome can help you find that again.

Pilot: Okay, folks. Time to buckle up. We’re starting our descent. Should be on the ground shortly.

Hope: Roma, here we come. I need to dig deep to do this,

Rj: Hey, no way.

Finn: That girl just text you? When– when did she even get your number?

Liam: I think beautiful women just like, know it by osmosis.

Rj: That’s– that’s very funny, but no, they do not. I wish they did. It was actually my mom letting me know that they landed safely.

Liam: Ah, ah, that’s lame, but it makes more sense.

Finn: Yeah, it makes a lot more sense. Why don’t you give her your number, man? She’s clearly into you.

Liam: Yeah.

Rj: I might slip it into the conversation next time she asks me to spot her.

Liam: Atta boy. Did, uh, did– did brooke say anything else?

Rj: No, just that they’re hitting the ground running?

Finn: Oh, man, it’s sinking in now. I’m officially getting jealous.

Rj: You jealous? What? Didn’t steffy invite you on the trip?

Finn: Yeah, I just have too many commitments at the hospital right now. Not to mention the kids. So, yeah, probably smartest I stay back.

Rj: What about you, liam? I mean, it kind of makes sense to me that you go considering how you feel about thomas.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know. Hope suggested it, albeit like super last minute. So logistically, it’S… I don’t know, it’s a work trip. I would rather go at a time when it feels like an actual vacation. And honestly, no matter how suspicious I am of thomas, I really don’t want to be that like, creepy jealous husband who’s just keeping tabs on his wife. That’s a whole…

Finn: You know what you ought to do, man?

Liam: What?

Finn: Surprise hope.

Liam: Surprise her how? Like– like what? Like in italy?

Finn: Yes, italy. And not as a super jealous husband type but as a, uh, romantic one. The kind of husband that wants to be at his wife’s press event, that flies halfway across the world as this epic show of support. I mean, think about the points you’d get. But yeah, I know it’s a work trip and there’s going to be some busy schedules going on, but there’s going to be downtime, man. In italy. In rome. It’s one of the prettiest cities in the world. This is kind of a no-brainer. So why don’t you go and do that? Hop on a plane, surprise your wife.

Thomas: Not too bad.

Hope: Mom, how did you find this villa?

Brooke: I have my secrets.

Steffy: This is so beautiful.

Carter: Wow, this is amazing.

Steffy: This is great. Look at this. It’s so, so good.

Daniela: Ciao. It’s so good to see you.

Ridge: It’s good to be here.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, we’re so excited to be back in rome. It’s been too long.

Daniela: We prepared all of you to be swept up in eternal city of love.

Brooke: Okay.

Daniela: Inside?

Brooke: Okay. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Liam: Wait, so you’re not just messing with me right now? Like, you think I should actually do this? I should surprise hope in rome?

Finn: Dude, imagine the look on her face. As she’s taking a bow, right? To thunderous applause and she’s looking out over the adoring crowd, only to eventually make eye contact with you. And she’ll see exactly how much her husband truly cares about her.

Rj: I mean, I think finn is completely right, dude. It’d be insane if you just showed up and she saw you. I think she’d be ecstatic. I don’t know.

Finn: Yeah, do it, man. Come on, you’re gonna go up there. You’re gonna take the woman that you love into your arms. You’re gonna tell her how important she is to you. You’re gonna tell her exactly how you feel. You need to be there for her, man.

Liam: You know what? You guys are right. You’re absolutely right. Just screw it.

Rj: Yeah.

Liam: Yeah. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna–

Rj: Do it.

Liam: I’m gonna go to rome. I’m gonna go to rome.

Romance in rome

eternal city of joy

they dance in rome

where every girl has her boy

romance in rome

and when they meet you

they’ll say

who cares

what tomorrow brings

live for today

I know ’cause

I found perfect romance

in rome

Brooke: It’s true, you know.

Ridge: What’s that?

Brooke: Daniela is right. We’re about to be caught up in the city of eternal love.

Ridge: That’s what everyone keeps telling me.

Brooke: Everyone?

Ridge: You.

Brooke: You’re not gonna be able to escape the magic, the magic of rome.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

[ Bells tolling ]

Carter: She’s not wrong, the place is pretty magical. Okay, so I locked up jasmine’s contract, got off the phone with the photographer. The swimsuit photo shoot is going to be epic. I mean, look at the view, right? This is amazing. What’s so good about it too is that when we get them here…

Hope: It’s so beautiful. It’s the perfect setting for a preview.

Thomas: I like this. I– yeah, all of this, but I love seeing you so happy. So excited.

Hope: Yeah, well, uh, I– I like it too. Yeah.

Thomas: This is where it happens, hope. Your vision brought to life.

Hope: Well, that’s also thanks to you and all your dedication and hard work. This dream wouldn’t be a reality if it wasn’t for you. So thank you. You should be proud.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: I stood my ground with my family and I told them that nick is dealing with too much to focus on work right now. Between sally’s pregnancy and the situation with cameron, I mean there’s no way that he can give his job the attention that it needs. And they said–

Nate: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me stop you right there. Are you sure you should share what they said with me?

Victoria: I am in charge of what happens at newman enterprises. And besides, this directly involves you, since you’re the one that I hope to lean on.

Billy: Can I grab an earl grey to go, and one of those brownies, please? Thank you.

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey. I’m sorry to call so late. Is this a bad time?

Adam: I’m with sally and she’s sleeping, finally. What’s going on?

Chelsea: I’m not sure. Um, there’s nothing we can do about it tonight, but tomorrow I think we should find someone professional for connor to talk to.

Adam: I thought that he’d improved.

Chelsea: Well, so did I, but lately, I don’t know, he’s been so moody and distant and I’m worried about him. I’d feel a lot better if we could get him some outside help.

Adam: Absolutely. I’ll call you in the morning and we’ll get him the best child psychologist in the state.

Chelsea: Great. Thank you. And I hope everything’s okay with sally.

Adam: Me too.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Billy: Some earl grey for you and a little something for connor.

Chelsea: You’re the best. But you know, you can take off. There’s no reason for connor to ignore both of us. I can face this rejection on my own.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Sally: Was that nick?

Adam: No, it was chelsea, calling about connor.

Sally: Is something wrong?

Adam: It’s– it’s nothing for you to worry about. Did I wake you? I was– I was trying to keep my voice down.

Sally: No, no, it’s not you. I’m just too freaked out about nick. I can’t sleep. I– I– I have to get out of this room.

Adam: You’re not going anywhere. get in here?

Cameron: I knew nick would have the whole place surrounded with daddy’s security, so I found a workaround.

Sharon: I was on my way to meet you at the motel like you’d asked.

Cameron: I saved you a trip.

Sharon: Where is faith?

Cameron: You know, this is the first time we’ve been alone in a very long time. I mean without your ex-husband barging in. You’re as beautiful as the day we met. Time hasn’t touched you. Me, on the other hand, I might be a little harder to recognize. I’m– I’m going for recently incarcerated, but still ruggedly handsome.

Sharon: I would recognize you anywhere.

Cameron: Well, I’ll take that as a compliment. I’ve thought about you more than you can imagine. You actually became a part of me. Always with me, here. Just like I’m a part of you.

Sharon: Tell me where faith is.

Cameron: She’s fine, for now. What happens next… that’s up to you. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: Okay, you can’t keep me here. I’m starving and I need something to eat.

Adam: Okay, well it’s late. What are you in the mood for? And don’t say a burger and fries with hot sauce, okay, because that can’t be doctor recommended. I’ll run out. I’ll get you something healthy. Or you know what, better yet, I’m gonna order you something. I’m gonna have it delivered.

Sally: Look, I’m tired of room service, okay? I’m not on bed rest. The doctor just said I need to take it easy. I can still go out and eat something.

Adam: Okay, be honest. This isn’t about just being hungry.

Sally: I know nick told you something about whatever this guy cameron is trying to pull. That is why you’re watching me like a hawk. Admit it.

Adam: Yes, he asked me to look out for you, but I already do that. So, I’m glad to get his stamp of approval so he won’t barge in here and accuse me of anything.

Sally: Okay, you’re dodging the cameron question, which is making me even more nervous.

Adam: Look, nick, told us that cameron was causing trouble. And he did, he got nick arrested for assault and battery. He already called and told us this. This isn’t news.

Sally: Okay, but this is not what I’m talking about. Something else happened, I know it. That is why nick asked to talk to you. He would not have asked if it wasn’t bad.

Adam: Sally, he was just worried about you, okay? We’re still brothers and we’re both concerned about you and the baby. And if he was to call me again, I would give him my honest opinion: You’re hangry. So, you better tell me what you want to eat or order it yourself because it can’t be healthy to get riled up like this.

Sally: Okay, you know what?

Adam: I’m supposed to be keeping you calm, sally.

Sally: Stop treating me like a child, okay? I’m going out, with or without you.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: You can’t stop me!

Adam: Fine, but you might want to put your shoes on.

Sally: Please. Just tell me if there’s something that I need to know about nick because I cannot stand not knowing and it is making me think the worst.

Sharon: What do you want, cameron? You have my daughter. You’ve sent chance and nick and victor’s security team all over town. Clearly, that was to get me alone. So, here we are. What are you really after?

Cameron: I want the same thing I’ve always wanted, you.

Sharon: Well, here I am. You have my full attention. Let’s talk.

Cameron: Ah, I kinda want a little more than a conversation, sharon.

Sharon: Tell me what it will take then to get faith back.

Cameron: It’s simple. Leave with me tonight, agree to spend the rest of your life with me and faith comes home.

Sharon: You remember the last time that you insisted that we run off together? That didn’t end well.

Cameron: A little worse for me than it did for you, but don’t worry, I don’t blame you for that. I know it wasn’t your fault. Nah, I blame nick. I blame nick, 100%. He just had to stick his nose into our business. But, thankfully, he’s not here tonight. It’s just us. And I know you’ll make the right choice this time. And I know you’ll mean it.

Sharon: You seem so confident. What makes you think that I would do that?

Cameron: Because I wouldn’t feel this connection unless something in you felt it too.

Sharon: Okay, let’s say that that’s true, that we are feeling each other’s feelings, then you would know that you have put me in an impossible situation. You have my daughter. That picture you sent me, you would know that that terrifies me. I can’t be free to think about us unless I know that she’s okay.

Cameron: You need to trust me. I would never hurt your daughter unless I had to.

Sharon: As much as I want to trust you, I cannot consider your request unless I see for myself that faith is all right.

Cameron: You know what? Stop it. I know what you’re doing. I know you’re a therapist now. So, you’re gonna try to get inside my head, you’re gonna try to figure out what I’m thinking and then you’re gonna try to manipulate those thoughts. First of all, good luck with that. Secondly, you wanna know what I’m thinking? Don’t look here, look here. Look into my heart.

Sharon: Why don’t you look into my heart? And you will see that it is full of love and concern for my daughter. It is too full to focus on you.

Cameron: You know what? That’s a load of crap. I may not have a fancy degree, but I know you better than you know yourself. So, how about I tell you what I see when I look into your heart? I see a woman who has resigned herself to being alone. Because every man she has ever known has let her down. Nick, jack, adam, rey. They all let you down and none of them ever loved you the way that I do. Even after you rejected me, landed me in jail, I still wanted you more than anything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. And 20 years in prison didn’t change that. That’s how pure my love is. I tried to let you go, but no other woman was you.

Sharon: I heard about one of those women. You beat her, didn’t you? Just like you beat me. Abuse isn’t love. Hitting someone isn’t love.

Cameron: I don’t know. Maybe… I think I feel things more deeply than other people do and then I act accordingly.

Sharon: How can kidnapping my daughter be love?

Cameron: It was a wake-up call, sharon! Taking faith is the only way I knew to get your attention. To make you realize that deep down you inside, you feel our connection too. And you know what? No amount of shrink talk is ever gonna make me think that we don’t belong together. Because this, this is real and this is unstoppable.

Nate: I’m honored that you’d want to lean on me.

Victoria: Why do you sound surprised?

Nate: Well, you do have nikki and victor is clearly never out of the picture.

Victoria: But it’s you that I want. We’ve been working so well together. You just have this fresh energy and this passion.

Nate: I’m glad you think so. So, is nick definitely taking a leave of absence? Because your parents sounded like they were against it.

Victoria: No, they understand that nick has too much on his plate right now. That he needs to step back while this crisis is dealt with. They just don’t want to call it an official leave of absence, but that’s what it will be. And my mom and I are gonna have to take over nick’s responsibilities, so I’m gonna need you to back me up. Unless… if you’re not up for it, then–

Nate: Of course I am. I’m here to support you however you need.

Victoria: That’s why I know you’re gonna do great. Because you’re ambitious. I know you’re gonna put in the hard work and you’re gonna reap the benefits. You’re exactly what newman needs. What I need.

Nate: That’s all true, but you forgot to mention that I would support you because I respect and admire you. And I care about you. My attraction to you is as mental and emotional as it is physical. I hope you know that.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Victoria: Of course, you know, stepping in for nicholas means that newman media is gonna get a lot less of your attention.

Nate: I’m confident audra can cover me there.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I have no doubt. I think you and I both know she would take your job in a second if she could.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: Does that bother you?

Victoria: No, not at all. I know exactly who audra is and what she wants. She’s not very subtle about it.

Nate: She’s made her ambitions very clear.

Victoria: Well, as long as that keeps her working hard, I have no professional issue with her whatsoever.

Nate: Professional issue?

Victoria: Well, let’s just say, it’s unlikely that audra and I are gonna become best friends any time soon. I’m fine with that. She needs to have her full focus on newman media, especially because adam has delusions of coming after his old company using mccall.

Nate: I’ve been thinking about that. I think we should be proactive.

Victoria: I couldn’t agree with you more.

Nate: Instead of waiting to play defense against a mccall attack…

Victoria: We make sure that mccall never gets strong enough for adam to make that move in the first place.

Adam: Are you trying to blackmail me into taking you out?

Sally: I am not above it.

Adam: Look, I swear I have nothing to tell you about nick.

Sally: Look, the whole reason that nick asked for you to watch out for me is so that I do not get stressed out, but keeping me cooped up in here is totally stressing me out.

Adam: I am doing what’s best for you and the baby. You’re not going to win this argument.

Sally: Please. Okay, nick is out there protecting sharon and faith from some psycho and you are the one who told me that he has a bad temper and he reacts with his fists. So, if you really want me to relax, you will let me out of here so I don’t have to think about that. I will sleep for ten hours if you do.

Adam: You– you– you’re impossible.

Sally: You’re not gonna win this.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Twelve hours and you don’t leave my sight.

Sally: Eleven. And you’re buying dinner. Excuse me.

Adam: Where do you think you’re going?

Sally: Now what?

Adam: I don’t care what you say. You’re not going out without these.

Chelsea: Connor, what are you doing here?

Connor: I wanted to see you.

Chelsea: Oh, well we just came down to grab some tea.

Billy: Got you a little something special in there too.

Chelsea: Why didn’t you text me? I would have come back up.

Connor: I’m not a helpless little kid.

Chelsea: I know. I know that. I just, um… are you okay?

[ Connor sighing ]

Connor: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get angry like that. I just wanted to say, I hope you’re not mad at me for shutting myself in my room.

Chelsea: I’m not mad. I’m glad you came to find me. Come here.

Cameron: I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted. I still have more than enough money stashed away for us to live the rest of our lives in luxury. You– you– you want a tropical island? A ranch in montana? The south of france? You name it.

Sharon: I have everything I want, right here. This– this is my home.

Cameron: Oh, please. You expect me to believe that you’re satisfied slinging coffee and pastries for genoa city’s brain dead elite? Having to listen to their never-ending problems?

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. It’s true.

Cameron: You’re better than that. You know it and I know it. You come with me, you will never have to make another mocha latte or listen to some sad sack drone on about their– their unresolved trauma.

Sharon: I’m listening to you right now, aren’t I? Trying to figure out what brought you to this point? Why you think we have a future?

Cameron: You brought me here. Our connection brought me here. Why can’t you accept that? Sharon, my sole purpose in life right now is to make you happy and I will never ever let you down the way that nick has over and over again.

Sharon: Nick has nothing to do with this.

Cameron: Ah, come on. I– I– I think the therapist might need a little bit of therapy. Now, I know it’s hard for you to trust a man after you’ve been let down so many times, but honey, nick is the problem. He’s the reason for your unhappiness.

Sharon: If you really care about me, then prove to me that faith is okay!

Cameron: Okay, you know what? I am tired of talking about other people. First, it was nick, then it’s faith. There’s only two people here that I want to talk about and that’s you and me. And if those other people are too distracting, then trust me, I will remove the distraction. – You like that bone?

Nate: So, you want to hear my thoughts on mccall?

Victoria: Right now, that’s all I want.

Nate: Well, I’ve been looking at the company and I think we should go after their biggest weaknesses first. I’ve made a list of the divisions I think we can take a run at.

Victoria: Yeah, that all looks great. I think we should put audra on that. It will give her a set of targets to keep her hungry mind busy. But uh, you missed their biggest achilles heel.

Nate: Really? I thought my analysis was thorough.

Victoria: Of the divisions, sure, but adam is their weakest link.

Nate: Right, right, adam. And I’m sure you have the inside track on getting the upper hand there.

Sally: I want every dish on here, but all I can hear is my doctor warning me about my blood pressure or nick reminding me about heartburn.

Adam: Well, I’m sure we can find something acceptable. I mean, how about a caesar salad with chicken?

Sally: I can’t have the dressing, raw eggs.

Adam: Really? I did not know that. Then, a house salad.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: That sounds boring, so it’s probably fine.

Adam: No texts or calls from nick?

Sally: No, and I’m dying to call him, but I know that I can’t bother him on whatever secret mission he’s on, so I guess tonight is all me about wanting things that I can’t have. Do you know how much that stinks?

Adam: I have some idea, yes. Look, I’m sure that we can find something appetizing for both you and the baby. So, let’s figure it out. What is she craving?

Sally: Anything with hot sauce.

Adam: Well, what does that say about her? Other than the fact she’s like her mother.

Sally: This little girl is spicy and we should be terrified of her.

Adam: Well, I’m not easily scared. But as long as she has the best of you and my mother, she will be perfect.

Sally: I wish you would stop doing that.

Adam: Doing what?

Sally: Implying that she becomes nothing like you. Look, I want her to inherit the best of her entire family tree and that includes you and me, and hope and my great aunt sally and my gramps and coco and nick and victoria and maybe even victor.

Adam: Nah.

Sally: No.

Adam: No.

Sharon: Threatening my daughter’s life, how is that love? You prove to me that you care about me. Take me to faith.

Cameron: That is enough! Sharon, I am telling you. You just stop– just stop pushing me. How dare you? How dare you treat me like this when I’m standing in front of you opening a vein!

Sharon: Nick and chance will be here any minute. Victor’s security team is crawling all over this property. There’s no way out for you.

Cameron: Nick’s not coming. I called him from upstairs just after he left. I told him he had 20 minutes to get to where faith was if he wanted to save her. So, I wouldn’t expect him to show up any time soon to rescue you. I think he understood the urgency.

Sharon: What if he doesn’t get there in time?

Cameron: Well, let’s hope he doesn’t let you down again. Now, as for your other threats, I think we both know they’re empty. Right now, chance is going through that garage, and half of victor’s team is probably on their way to stake out the motel and the other half is with nick.

Sharon: And that suitcase? You left that in your hotel room for us to find then? You knew that we would and we’d find the deed to that abandoned garage and we would assume that faith was there.

Cameron: I was worried it was a little too obvious, but anyway, obvious or not, chance would have to follow that lead, so it was a win-win strategy.

Sharon: And the message for me to meet you in the motel room?

Cameron: I knew that chance or nick would insist on going with you with the backup. So, they’d have to leave early to get it all set up.

Sharon: Leaving me alone in the house. You’ve had this in the works for a long time.

Cameron: Months. So, you said I was trapped, but the truth is, there’s no way out of this for you.

Sharon: I’ll do whatever you want, cameron. I’ll do whatever you want. Just please let faith go. Let faith go. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. And we’re done.

Elena: Well, isn’t this cozy?

Nate: Hello, elena.

Elena: I guess at least you’re not keeping it a secret anymore.

Nate: I hope you don’t plan on making a scene like you did in L.A.

Elena: Right. Because it was my fault things turned ugly.

Nate: Look, if you want to talk to me, in private–

Elena: I don’T. But that scene in L.A. That you were talking about, that was back when I was naive enough to love you, trust you and even respect you. I guess I learned that lesson the hard way. You know, I always thought you were intelligent, but here you are falling for two users in a row. First, ashland, and now his best man.

Victoria: I don’t see the similarity.

Elena: Yeah, I guess that is your blind spot. But I can see it clearly. They are both happy to be with you as long as they get what they want, but once they don’t, you better watch out.

Connor: I know that I’ve been a jerk to you too. And johnny. I’m sorry.

Billy: Connor, you don’t have to worry about that, okay? I understand and johnny understands. You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. Sometimes, we get overwhelmed and we get a short fuse. It happens to the best of us.

Chelsea: No one is angry with you. We’re just worried. Do you understand the difference?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay. So can you talk to us? Can you tell us what’s going on?

Billy: Does this mood have anything to do with the baby? Yeah.

Connor: I’m sorry about how I’ve been acting, but you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m getting used to the idea that dad and sally are having a baby, that I’ll have a sister.

Chelsea: Well honey, it’s a lot to deal with. I mean, these are some grownup feelings you’re having. But the good thing is you don’t have to go through it alone.

Connor: I know, I’ve got you.

Chelsea: Of course you do, but not just me. You know, there might be times that you might want to vent about me or vent about your dad and that’s okay. You’re allowed to do that. So, your dad and I are thinking, maybe it’s time for you to talk to a therapist like I do. So we can find you somebody tomorrow, a professional to talk to.

Connor: No. I don’t need to talk to anyone else. I just need you.

Chelsea: Oh.

[ Chelsea exhaling ] Sweetheart.

Adam: Hey, I wanted to ask you, have you given any more thought to baby names?

Sally: Yeah, only every waking minute.

Adam: Well, not to overstep, but I was wondering if you might consider the name hope.

Sally: That would mean a lot to you, wouldn’t it?

Adam: It would. But no pressure. And you know, not a first name. Maybe a middle name?

Sally: It’s beautiful. And I think we should absolutely add it to the list. But I don’t really wanna choose just yet. I don’t know, call it superstition, but would you mind if maybe we waited to have this discussion closer to the due date?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Sure. But it’s going to sneak up on us faster than we know.

Sally: I know and I… I’m terrified.

Adam: What– what part?

Sally: All of it.

Adam: You know, I really wish that I could convince you that you are going to be a wonderful mother. This kid is blessed. Even with nick in the picture.

Sally: Very funny.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: What– what is it? What is it?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

[ Sally panting ]

Cameron: I’ll let faith go as soon as we’re far away from genoa city.

Sharon: Okay, you win, cameron. I’ll go with you. Because I need my daughter to be safe. But you– you have to promise me that she will be okay.

Cameron: And you have to trust me. I would never hurt your child.

Sharon: All right then. Where are we going?

Cameron: It’s a surprise.

Sharon: How about a hint so that I know what to pack?

Cameron: And ruin the fun? You don’t have to pack anything. We’re starting over. I’ll buy you all new things.

Nick: She’s not going anywhere with you. You get your hands off her!

Sharon: Nick!

[ Nick grunting ] Nick! Nick!

[ Punches thudding ] Even when I was with the people I love,

Sharon: Nick, stop! Stop it! He’s not worth it! I’ll just do what he says. Just get off of him.

Nick: Just go and get help.

[ Cameron shouting ]

Cameron: Get up. Get up.

[ Both grunting ]

Sharon: Help! Security! We need help! Help! Nick.

Cameron: We need to go.

Sharon: You go to hell.

Cameron: I warned you. I have your child. I have your child, sharon!

Sharon: Nick! Oh, my gosh, nick. Are you okay? Are you okay? Come, wake up.

Nick: We get him?

Sharon: Cameron got away, he said he has faith.

Nick: What?

Sharon: He’s got, faith. He says he’s got faith.

Nick: Where– where’d he go?

Sharon: He’s upstairs.

Nick: Okay.

Nate: Elena, please–

Victoria: Nate, uh, I can handle this. Look, I don’t want to argue, I really don’T. You’re saying hurtful things because you’ve been hurt, but trust me, in time, the pain will fade and then maybe you won’t feel the need to verbally assault people in public.

[ Elena chuckling ]

Elena: Whoa. I think you’ve been a newman princess for far too long if you think that was an assault. Those were just facts.

Nate: Don’t do this.

Elena: Good for you, nate. Finally protecting something. You know, I’m glad the two of you are together because I can already see the future. You are gonna use each other up and then burn each other down to the ground. It’s gonna really be fun to watch. Enjoy your evening.

Connor: Thanks for the brownie.

Billy: You are very welcome.

Chelsea: The way he devoured that, you’d think I didn’t feed this kid dinner.

Connor: I’m ready to go to bed now.

Billy: Bed? Geez, I should’ve gotten you something with a little less sugar.

Connor: It won’t keep me up.

Chelsea: That’s true actually. I saw him eat a whole bag of halloween candy once and he went straight to bed. Okay, come on. I’ll go up with you.

Connor: I can go myself. And yes, I’ll brush and floss.

Billy: Impressive. Do me a favor. Talk to johnny about that oral hygiene thing. He just fights me on it every night.

Connor: Sure. If you want, but I doubt hell listen to me. Goodnight. Love you.

Chelsea: I love you. Why am I more worried now than ever?

Adam: Let’s get you to the hospital, okay? Do you think that you can walk?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

Adam: Come, come, come.

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: What? Oh, what’s happening?

Adam: It’s okay, all right. We’ve got this. We’re gonna get help and everything is gonna be okay. I promise. Come on.

Sally: Okay.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: Come on. It’s okay.

Trelegy for copd.

Nick: Cameron got away.

Sharon: What? How is that possible? He ran upstairs. I’ve been down here the whole time. He didn’t get past me.

Nick: It’s crazy, it’s like he disappeared, but then I figured it out. The bastard made a hole in the closet of noah’s old room.

Sharon: What?

Nick: It’s how he got in, sharon. He came in through the walls.

Sharon: He was covered in dirt when he got here. Oh, my god.

Nick: He must have tunneled under the house. That’s how he evaded ranch security. It’s how he came in and poisoned the cat and placed the bug and got you alone.

Sharon: And now he got away. Oh, my gosh, he could be anywhere right now.

Nick: I know. We’re gonna find him.

Sharon: You didn’t see the look on his face. He knows that I despise him. He knows that his perfect plan didn’t work and he said that he has faith. He’s headed to her right now. We have got to stop him!

Nate: I’m sorry for elena’s behavior. It was out of line and frankly, not like her.

Victoria: Don’t apologize, okay? I– I meant what I said. I get it, elena’s hurt.

Nate: It doesn’t mean she has to treat you like that. It’s me she hates.

Victoria: I don’t take it personally, I don’T. I mean, she thought that the two of you had something real and now she knows that that’s not true. I’ve been through that. It’s– it’s like a punch in the gut.

Nate: It’s my fault. I should’ve broken things off earlier.

Victoria: Well, just think of it this way. Now, she’s free to find the right person.

Nate: I hope so. I do wish that for her. Because I know what that feels like now. I’m exactly where I want to be.

Adam: Elena! Thank god. Can you uh– can you help us?

Elena: Hey. What’s going on?

Adam: Uh, we were at society when her pain came on. It was sudden.

Elena: Okay, sally what are your symptoms?

Sally: I just have a headache and this pain in my right side.

Elena: Okay, have you ever felt that before?

Sally: No, just my headaches.

Adam: And her– her O.B. Said that she was at risk for preeclampsia and ordered her to rest.

Elena: Okay. Let’s get you to have a seat and we’re gonna get you admitted okay?

Sally: Oh, god! Oh, what is happening? I’m afraid it’s my– oh, it’s my baby. Please help me.

Elena: Okay, I’m gonna go get a triage nurse. Excuse me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mr. Ashford. I hope that it’s alright that I’m here. I’ll say this. Your young man doesn’t shrink from a challenge. Yeah, he puts up a good front. He believes in never letting them see you sweat. But right now, I’m guessing he’s sweating. What do you mean marcus didn’t seem well? It’s okay. It’s okay. Like I said, someone was there to help him. He’s not alone. Someone who? Who was with him? Oh, there she is right now. Jordan! She’ll tell us how marcus is doing. What you got there, bud? “Photo ark insects” by joel sartore. He takes all the pictures. I got to meet him once. You did? Very cool. It was at a show of all of joel’s animal pictures. My mom and dad took me. My dad got hurt. He’s in the hospital.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay, well, either ned recovers and he gets the sec to drop the charges, or we fight it out in court. Hey. We would both be putting our freedom on the line, right? And we don’t have to do that. What do you mean? We both don’t have to go down for this, carly. Only one of us does. Okay. That would be me. I’m the one who invested heavily in aurora after you and michael warned me not to. My mistake. My consequences. I just got a call from church. Looks like they could have an opening in the fall. Nina.

Nina? I’m sor– oh, thank you. The fall. The we– thank you. The wedding. Right. Wedding. Right. Right. Uh, I’m so sorry. I just — I’ve been trying to busy myself with crimson work and… it seems like all I can think about is ned. He just hit his head. He’s gonna make a full recovery. Probably. And then maybe he’ll start telling everybody the truth. To 50 years with my best friend and my soulmate.


I’m not gonna let you do prison time, carly. Unfortunately, it’s not up to you. Taking responsibility for your mistakes — I’m all for that. I think it’s absolutely fantastic. But just think about this for a second. What about donna? What about your grandkids and joss and michael and willow, who’s still recovering, and your mom? They all need you. You are — you’re the heart. You are the center of this family. I know putting them through a long trial wouldn’t be right. Okay. Then let me help you. How? By offering myself up. I’m gonna plead guilty. There’s nothing like a brush with death to shift your priorities. But who knows? Maybe ned will wake up and he’ll say that he tipped off the sec. Or maybe it wasn’t him. I don’T… oh, you’re doubting that ned tipped off the sec now? He gave me an impassioned plea telling me he didn’t do it. So I’m starting to wonder, maybe there was somebody else that had — that, you know, wants leverage against me. But you know what? We shouldn’t be worried about this right now. We have a church to book.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. You still want to do this, right? Oh, more than anything. If I marry you, sonny, I will be the luckiest woman alive. You just said “if.” Is there a question? I heard your dad had an accident. You must be really worried, huh? Granny tracy says we’re going to visit him. Yeah, well, that’s a good thing, right? He won’t even know I’m there. Granny tracy says he’s unconscious. That’s like asleep, but you can’t wake up. Okay. Fair point. But, I mean, your mom would like to see you, right? I don’t want to go. I get that. You want to know how I get over things that I’m scared to do? How? I talk it out with my friends. And you and me — we’re buddies, right? So, why don’t you tell me why you don’t want to go? I don’t want to see my dad like that. What if he doesn’t wake up? You’ve met jordan? You know her, too? Hi there. Hi. Hi!

[ Chuckles nervously ] I was just gonna introduce you to my sister, but it seems the two of you are already acquainted. Yes, of — of course. Hi. How are you, portia? I’m good. I’m so good. How are you? I was telling portia that I saw you help taggert onto the elevator and he seemed a bit unsteady. Yeah. Is — is marcus — is he doing okay? He’s fine. Felt a bit unwell, but there’s nothing to worry about. Good. Good. Thank you for talking to him for me. So… how do you two know each other? Oh, wow. It’s called

jammin’ at the savoy. It seemed appropriate. That’s a romare bearden print. This is not just a print. Signed by the artist? Limited edition. It’s a gorgeous piece. Some of the best jazz musicians in the world played at the savoy in harlem. Spencer, thank you. You can believe this will have a permanent spot at the savoy.

[ Clears throat ] In port charles. I should be thanking you, sir, for saving me and my brother in greenland. No thank-you necessary. I had a reason for being there. Trina was at the top of that list. But I do know how important you are to her. She’s very important to me too, sir. I hope that you believe that. Well, aren’t you the diplomat? That was, uh, very kind, son. You know, I-I just want my daughter to be happy. It doesn’t mean I’m not gonna keep my eye on him. Your gift was incredible and so thoughtful. I was aiming for good enough to not get thrown out. Then you exceeded your goal. And since you’re into making folks so happy, I have a request. Oh? I await instructions. Go ask if you could switch the playlist. I think you meant to say “when” we get — when! Of course.

When we get married. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Come in! Thank you. Hi. Hi. So, is, uh, avery ready? You know, avery and donna have been playing with wedding fabrics all morning. Oh. So you’re gonna have to pry them away. Out like a light, collapsed on a mountain of chiffon. It’s — it’s organza. Well, it doesn’t matter ’cause you can put burlap on, and you’d still be the most beautiful bride in the world. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, well, should I — should I wait in the hall?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Dante. What’s going on? They’re waking ned up now.


Okay. Now, please explain to me again why sonny went rushing off to the hospital. He doesn’t even like ned. Well, ava, it’s olivia. Dante called to reach out for some support. And also, I think sonny feels a little guilty. What — guilty for what? Accusing ned, because now all of a sudden, he’s not convinced that ned is the one who made that call to the sec. Oh. Well, still, sonny has no reason to suspect you. You just need to keep cool, keep quiet. Luckily, I’m the only one who knows the truth. Well, you, my attorney, martin gray. And now ned quartermaine knows the truth, too. Ugh. That’s no good. Too beggy.

[ Sighs ]

[ Keypad clicking ] Gladys, what’s g– I know it’s scary when someone you love is sick or hurt. But my adopted mom used to tell me that love is the most powerful medicine. And your dad — he loves you so much. I’m sure that he’s trying his best to get better for you. Well, my biological dad loved me. But it didn’t help him. He’s dead. Yeah. I’m sorry, leo. I bet you miss him a lot. No. I barely remember him. Well, ned has the best doctors taking care of him. And you won’t be alone, you know? You’ll have your mom, your stepsister, your granny, and all your friends. Like you?

[ Chuckles ] You bet. I’m not going anywhere. Leo, we’ve been looking everywhere for you. It’s time to go see your dad. Let’s go. Oof! You smell like horses. I like that smell. Yeah, well, go clean up. Um, I mean, you want to look nice for your dad, right? I guess. You know what? Besides, you need to put your book back in your room. You don’t want it to get all dirty and messed up down here, right? Right. I have to keep it safe. Bye! Bye. I’ve found leo responds better to gentle suggestions. Oh. You’re telling me about my grandson? I…met jordan last night at the pool. After you blew me off, I had to make alternate plans. Oh. Well, if you’ve met zeke, then he probably pinned you down for hours. Uh —

[ Coughs, clears throat ] Excuse me? Zeke is quite — he’s quite gregarious. Aren’t you, sweetie?

[ Laughs ] When he would come home from school, his report card would always say that he talked too much. He would go on and on and on and on and just keep talking. You probably found that out firsthand, huh? Yeah, well, he is certainly, uh, good company. Mm. Good afternoon, dr. Robinson. Commissioner ashford. Hey. Hello, spencer. Oh, I don’t know if you have met my — my baby brother, ezekiel robinson. Of course we did. Yes, of course. At your wedding. It’s good to see you again. You too. Alright, well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll see you all outside. Yeah? Okay. Ugh! Of course trina invited spencer to the party. Of course she did. Party? Yes. It’s a party for curtis, actually. Oh. Oh, yes. Uh, that’s right. Today is his birthday. Stella reserved some space for us at the pool. You’re more than welcome to join us. If you’ll excuse me, please. Is there something you want to tell me? You called trina your daughter a moment ago. How did that feel? Well… I’m still wrapping my brain around everything, but, um…it felt good. Feels good.

[ Laughs ] It just warms my heart to hear it. To know you have not just a child, but that child. Yeah. Trina’s a remarkable young woman. And I thought so even before I had an inkling she was your daughter. Well, we haven’t discussed labels yet. So, for now, I’m still “curtis.” But I’m cool with that, you know? I’m just gonna follow her lead. You called me by my first name when I first returned. You know that? Didn’t change how I felt about you, or the fact that we’re family. Family. Yeah. I like the sound of that.

[ Laughs ] Mission accomplished, m’lady. Thank you. Trina. Spencer. Hey. Hey. I ran into spencer at the restaurant, and I reintroduced him to your uncle zeke. Oh! Cool. Thank you. Yeah. He seems like a good guy. Yes. Yeah, yeah. I’m so glad that you can make it, spencer. Happy to be included. You’re just in time for the cake. I wasn’t sure if you were gonna make it. [ Chuckles ] I had to drop off esme and ace at esme’s new job. Ace is at daycare there. Co-parenting a baby. That’s a lot of responsibility for a young man. So many moving parts that you have to juggle. I am the police commissioner, zeke. Oh, well, good thing I don’t have any unpaid parking tickets, commissioner ashford. You know, it’s — it’s so funny. That’s such a familiar surname. Are you related to…? Yes. I am curtis’s ex-wife.


spencer’s actually doing a really good job of balancing all of his responsibilities. I’m really proud of him. I’m just acknowledging that caring for a baby can be all-consuming, trina.

[ Chuckles ] You’re absolutely right. If you had told me a year ago that I would know how to comfort a colicky child, I would have laughed in your face. It’s certainly a big challenge. And my father wasn’t up to it, so I’ve assumed the responsibility. But, yes, you’re correct. It’s a big commitment. Which makes it all the more impressive that spencer

is stepping up. Yes, absolutely. What you’re doing, it’s — it’s admirable. But do me a favor a-and enjoy your youth while you can.

[ Chuckles ] Balancing friends and activities you know, while you’re caring for a little one, it can be — it can be quite exhausting. No matter what your intentions are. I’ll do my best. But one thing is for sure — that I’ll always make time for trina. And why is it you refuse to let me put candles on your cake? Because, aunt stella, candles are for kids. And besides, everything i would wish for… it’s already coming true. Not everything. Zeke: Did you know who I was when we met? Would I have confessed so much if I had? How was I supposed to know you were related to portia? So — so, wait a minute. The — the ex who you kissed, who went back to his wife… yeah. I, uh, realize this is an awkward position we’re in. Awkward po– yeah, awkward for you, but this is excruciating for me. My sister’s finally hopeful again. And now I’m sitting on information that could ruin everything? Okay. Nothing has to be ruined. Portia never has to know. What? Are you suggesting that I keep this from her? That kiss happened in a moment out of time. And that time is over, so let it go. I have. Okay, why don’t we start over?

[ Chuckles ] I’m cody. Oh, I know who you are. The question is, do you know who I am? I’m tracy quartermaine. I may not always be physically present, but I’m like the wind. I’m everywhere. And I know absolutely everything that’s going on in my family. And i definitely do not need to be brought up to speed by the hired help. And just to put you on notice, I will be counting the silverware. That’s not necessary. Why my family has a jewel thief in its employ is beyond me. You’d be gone the minute you got arrested. Normally, I would blame monica, but I understand that the only reason you’re still here is because you’ve got “mama q” wrapped around your little finger. And my son adores her. But that won’t help you with me. Leave him alone, granny. Uh… uh, you’re welcome. Nice to see you too, gladys.

[ Chuckling ] Sorry. Sorry. I wanted to make sure the screen wasn’t cracked. I’m such a butterfingers these days. Why are you so jumpy? Sasha’s meeting with a court-appointed shrink. I thought kevin collins was treating her. Yeah, but in order for her petition to be considered, the judge had to assign an “impartial medical practitioner.” Okay. What petition? What are you talking about? Sasha wants to sever the guardianship. Oh! That’s great. That’s great news. Right? Is it? I’ve instructed my lawyer to make a deal with the feds. Now, you’re not gonna get out of this unscathed, but you will stay out of prison. Call it off. It’s too late. He’s already proposed the deal, carly. Did the sec accept? My lawyer is very confident that they will. Now, you’re gonna have to pay a very big fine. I don’t care about the money. You’re standing here telling me you’re gonna go to prison instead of me. It’s very likely that I’m gonna spend some time behind bars, yes. I know you’re doing this for me and my family, but I’m not the only one with children. Scout has spent enough time away from you. Look, I — I hate the idea of me being away from scout again. Like, it kills me, believe me. But I know that scout is in a stable, loving home with sam and dante. This is a man that I like and I respect. If you go away, donna is with sonny. And nina. Ava: I can’t believe it. He — he overheard you with martin? Yes. And the second that ned wakes up, he is going to spill everything. No, no, no. Now, you don’t know that. Ava, I talked to ned before he had his accident, and he was determined to clear his name. And ned is not the only exposure I have. This so-called anonymous source isn’t so anonymous. Martin told me that the feds can uncover my identity. So, once sonny finds out that i am the cause of carly’s trouble, goodbye wedding, goodbye marriage, and goodbye love. And then willow… drew saved willow’s life. And carly is like… well, I was gonna say carly is like her second mother, but it’s more than that. Carly is willow’s mother by choice. And so when willow finds out that I am the one that turned in carly and drew, any chance that I have of forging a relationship with her is gone. Nina, nina, nina, come on, now. Just take a breath, okay? I just — I just wanted a little more time with sonny. I just wanted to be happy with him and be his fiancée just a little bit more. But ned is waking up. So that means… my time and my luck is running out. Well… maybe, but m-maybe not. I don’t want any more tricks, ava. Well, what I’m — what I’m proposing is — is, uh, more radical than any trick. If there’s any hope of salvaging things with sonny, there’s really only one thing to do. You have to go to him and tell him the truth.

Now.


You didn’t seem surprised when you found out that I was portia’s brother. I found out last night. I overheard portia introducing you as her brother. That’s why I texted you to meet up today. So, it wasn’t because you liked me and because of my sparkling conversation? I do like you. But this, it’s — it’s too messy. Last night shouldn’t have happened. So you regret sleeping with me. Got it.

[ Scoffs ] I think you know otherwise. But [Sighs] This whole situation is regrettable. And I’m pretty sure you feel your first loyalty is to portia. Which brings us back to your suggestion that I lie to her. Portia wants her marriage to work, right? And you just said that she was feeling hopeful again. So…why hurt what she and curtis are trying to rebuild? The best birthday gift that I can give you is space. I’m gonna move out, son. Pop, you don’t have to do that. I know I don’t have to, but i want to. I’m better now. I’m more confident. Picking up gigs here, there, everywhere. I got a nest egg saved.I can afford my own place. Dad, it’s great that you got — curtis, let your father finish before you try talking him out of it. Thank you, stella. Well, clearly auntie’s on your side. Ain’t no side, no right side here. The best thing you could do is focus on your marriage and your daughter. Spencer, I’m trying to be more forthright these days, so I need to tell you something. Okay. I know you have the best intentions where your baby brother is concerned, but I also know that you’re not the primary caregiver. What if the charges against esme are reinstated and all of that responsibility falls on you? Spencer: My uncle may have falsified this evidence. “May have falsified.” Probably falsified. In fact, I would be shocked if he didn’t falsify it. Okay. Tell me — tell me why you think that. Because a few months ago, I asked him for help getting custody of ace.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I’m sorry. This could be about ace. If you’ll excuse me. Hello? You don’t have to say it. I know you disapprove. I’m just trying to do what’s best for you, trina. I know. Did this whole family lose their mind while I was absent? After cody was charged with stealing the bracelet, dad did want to fire him, and I was the one who convinced him not to.

[ Laughing ] Oh! Really, brook lynn? The singing detective wasn’t enough? You needed a little cowboy as backup? No, it’s not like that. Cody’s really good with leo. Mm. All the more reason to get rid of the criminal. That’s accused criminal. Nothing’s been proven yet. Grandmother, ever since leo was diagnosed with being on the spectrum, it’s very important that he has people who accept him and understand him. That’s what his family’s for. Leo also needs consistency and routine. Look, I’d put money on it that dad being in the hospital is really messing with leo’s head. Don’t you get it? If you fire cody, you’re just gonna upend leo even more. You really want dad to have to clean up the mess you made with him recovering? Ooh, you are walking on thin ice, missy. So be it. I would do anything for leo. Alright. Owing to my deep and abiding love of this family, I will table this discussion for now. But while ned is recovering, we will very slowly and gently change leo’s routine. Take the time to find other employment ’cause the minute ned is better, you’re gone, pony boy. Huh. So, that’s my grandmother. You know, I never had a grandma. After meeting yours, I’m damn glad I didn’T.

[ Chuckles ] Ava, we have talked about this. If I tell sonny the truth, it’s over. He will never forgive me. I mean, he might. If you get out in front of it before he hears it from ned. I mean, there’s a chance that he could forgive you. Really. M-maybe not right away, but he’ll definitely appreciate you coming clean. But you have to get to the hospital before ned wakes up. If you don’t, you can kiss your life with sonny goodbye. Nina? Oh, so that’s it, huh? You’re just giving up? I — I have the feeling that today will be the end of my engagement, so I want to make it a little easy for sonny and leave the ring there. It’s time for me to… start letting go. Oh, honey. Can you stay with the girls? You don’t even have to ask.

[ Door closes ] Sasha’s feeling better, doing better ending the guardianship is a good thing.

[ Scoffs ] In theory. Is there something that you’re not telling me right now? ‘Cause if there is, you need to spit it out. I-I don’t think she’s ready, okay? That is up to sasha and the judge to decide. Not you, gladys. It’s too soon. What if she has a relapse? What — what would happen to her business? Her reputation? Sonny, if sasha does this right now, it could ruin her life. We have to protect sasha. Y-you can’t let this happen.


Of course I want to protect sasha. And you still haven’t given me reason to think she can’t handle her life. She did well on that tv show, didn’t she? Huh? When she was under pressure in the whole thing. What? What? Okay. Oh, well, we got lucky. But you know how it is with mental health and her state of mind. I mean, are those struggles ever truly over? We are two different people with different circumstances. Yes, we have overcome a lot. And we’ve gotten help. But sasha has handled the guardianship with dignity. She’s gonna be okay. I want my daughter-in-law to be healthy and independent some day. Gladys — I just don’t want her making a hasty decision.

Gladys. That is up to the judge.

[ Sighs heavily ] But sasha respects you. She will listen to you. Sonny, will you talk to her? Please convince her to give this arrangement a little more time. I’m gonna leave you two to settle this. But as for my part, I think marshall’s making good sense, baby. Pop, portia and I told you, you always have a home with us. And that won’t change, will it? This is addition by subtraction. By my absence, I’m creating more room. You and portia work your lives out. Trina — she’s out of school now. She’s gonna eventually want to come home. I sure hope so. Take this time. Work on your family. ‘Cause this part of the family? It’s alright.

[ Chuckles softly ] Right? We good. Everything okay? No. Esmé called. The daycare provider is ill, so they’re shutting down for the day as a precaution. So I have to go pick him up. She can’t do it? No. She’s at work. Same with kevin and my grandmother. Look, I hate this, but… you got to go. Portia’s been through so much. I hope you’ll consider sparing her more pain. As for me? Well, thank you for being a true gentleman. I’m not sure which spencer cassadine I find more infuriating. The entitled brat or the “new version,” the responsible, aspiring parent.

[ Sighs ] But whichever one shows up, it doesn’t matter. I just don’t see how he can make trina a priority. So, what’s this about him wanting to be an aspiring parent? He’s trying to get custody of his baby brother, whose mother is his ex-girlfriend who tried to frame trina. Man. No wonder you’re not a fan of that family. Messy, right? There’s a lot going on.

[ Sighs ] I just don’t want trina involved with any of that stuff. And even though I do believe that spencer does care about trina, I just don’t think he can give her the attention that she deserves. No one can be a devoted partner when their focus is so split.

[ Scoffs ] Unfortunately, you met my grandmother on a bad day. Ah. Is this the part where you tell me that her bark’s worse than her bite? Oh, no, they’re both bad. But that’s tracy. She’ll stick the screws to you and come through for you in equal measure. Translation — she’s a quartermaine. You are learning.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, I’m really sorry about ned. I’ve been praying for you and your family. And if there’s anything more I can do, just let me know. Just keep supporting leo. Yeah. Uh, he’s taking it pretty hard. I caught him with his nose in a book earlier. Some pictures of insects. Yeah. Those joel sartore photo art books. He loves those. Yeah. Yeah, he said that his mom and dad took him to meet the photographer. Leo got pretty shaky when he was talking about ned’s accident. He knows that he’s unconscious. He’s really worried. Well, thank you for telling me. I’m glad he has you as a friend to count on. Well, I’m not doing much good if I go to jail, and it looks like my days are numbered. Let’s just wait it out. Really. I mean, I read somewhere that the statute of limitations on sec investigations is five years. Can you make it that long with a hold on your finances? You taking the rap for me can’t be our only option, drew. It can’T. Carly, this is my choice. I don’t want you feeling guilty about this. It’s not just guilt. It’s heartbreak. I can’t stand the thought of losing you.


Miss henry, I’m so sorry. I have to leave. Oh, well, thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. And thank you for coming. You earned major points with that gift. Well, I like your family. They’re good people. I’m not going anywhere. Except for daycare. Pop, I appreciate your offer to move out. But this isn’t settled. No, look, look. I’m not talking about going far away. Those days are over, son. But you and portia — you bought that home for your shared future. And from where I stand, that future looks like it’s possible again. Trina’s sharp. She realizes spencer’s life is complicated. She should see the patterns. She shouldn’t have to compromise. She shouldn’t have to come in second place in her boyfriend’s life. Both you and trina deserve better. Me? Look, don’t be mad at curtis for how he behaved on my wedding night, okay? I mean, there was a lot going on. No, no, no, no. My issue with curtis is how he’s behaved since the wedding. I’ll talk to sasha. But I’m not gonna, you know, convince her of anything. I’ll let her decide what’s best.

[ Sighs ] And if she doesn’t know what that is? I trust sasha, and you should too, gladys.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here? Are the girls okay? Uh, yeah. Ava’s with the girls. I — I had to see you. What’s wrong?

[ Sighs ] Where’s your ring? Okay, austin, sonny is gone and the girls are asleep, so I have his apartment to myself until the nanny gets here, which could be any moment. So I have to be quick. If you were incriminating information that mason wants, where would you hide? Does your case really look that bad? No one can disprove gladys’ claim that I stole that bracelet. Well, hang in there, okay? You have the full support of my entire family. Granny aside, we’d hate to lose you. You mean leo would. No. We’d all miss you. We’ve all gotten used to having you around, especially leo. Look, I’ll work on my grandmother. You’ll always have a home here, okay?

[ Footsteps approaching ] Are you coming or what? That’s my cue.

[ Chuckles ] Bye, cody! I’ll see you, bud. Hey. You got this. Okay. Let’s do it.

[ Imitates slide whistle ]

[ Chuckling ] Let’s go, leo. Bye. Come on. You’re not gonna lose me. Carly, no matter what, no matter where I am, if I’m in prison, anywhere, I’m still yours. But I want you to know that — that I understand if you don’t want to wait for me. That’s not gonna happen because none of this is gonna happen. We’re not doing this. I have to do this. I have to do this for you. I don’t want you to do this for me! I’m doing this for us.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There. How was your shower? It was pleasant enough. I suppose. That shower head though, that’s a bit much. A bit much. It’s supposed to be the Costa Rican waterfall experience of a lifetime. Did it at least wash off the sickly sweet smell of incessant fawning. On Earth is that supposed to mean? Well, here I am reading your interview with a murderous kidnapper who comes off like Mahatma Gandhi, thanks to your gushing and flattery.

Oh, you read my interview? I see. Well, that’s a step up from you perusing photos of the shirtless Hemsworth Brothers, can I read you my favorite quote with his scores of crimes against humanity being well-documented and a rap sheet that would make Al Capone blush. You can only imagine my astonishment at discovering that Dimitri Vaughn Leischner does indeed have a heart.

Well, it looks like someone dialed up the charm to an 11 last night. If you’re referring to yours, truly, my charm does not have a dial. It lives at an 11. Uh, well, from what I’m reading, it seems you made significant headway in regards to Operation Seduce and Mary Gwen Rizek. Yes, I believe I have. Although, I must admit, I’m a little surprised not to find Mother waiting here on tenor Hooks ready to hear all about it.

You really think it’s a smart idea for you to be here? Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I waited patiently until all of your little roomies scurried off, and I knew you were alone. It’s vital now that we continue our conversation, why was our call cut short? Is someone walking on you? Yes, actually, I was rudely interrupted when my brother EJ overheard our plan to eliminate Stephan.

Stepan Stephan up. Stepan, you need to let me in. Our sister Megan came crazy. She tied me up in the secret room, but I escaped. Stephan, listen brother, I overheard her Ploting to kill you. Stephan open the body door.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Brother. Brother,

oh,

yes.

It was a dream. God. It was just a dream,

but now I’m stuck in a nightmare on my own.

Tommy come, oh, uh, Stefan, why don’t you use a battering ram next time? I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. You want to tell me what this is about, Nicole? Because the way you were knocking made it sound like that it was a matter of life and death. Well, I’m. I’m looking for ej. Do you know where he is?

Megan? Oh, shoot. Heartless psychopath. You better go find another island to go hide under because when I get out of here and wrap my hands around your neck. Dear sister, you’re gonna be sorry you never came back from the dead.

With the love of God. Megan, why would you tell EJ about our plan to off Stephan? No, you didn’t hear me. I said EJ overheard me on the phone. Of course I wouldn’t choose to tell him. Okay. Okay. What exactly did he overhear? He overheard that I said, my brother is not long for this world. I. And being the self-absorbed narcissist that he is.

Of course he assumed that I was talking about him. Did, did he know it was me on the other end of the conversation? No, no, no, no, he didn’t. So then I explained to him he had the wrong brother and that it was actually Stephan that we were planning to do away with, and that it might work out in his best interest as much as mine.

Okay. So did he go for it? It felt promising briefly, and then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Look at what you’ve made me do.

Followed by a sudden attack of being vase.

Well, I have no idea where your mommy is this morning, but why don’t you come and sit next to Auntie Kristen and tell me all about it.

So did you get on your knee and. Ask for Ms. Riz check’s hand in marriage, or are you waiting for an actual date with her? I’m, uh, I’m sensing the slightest tinge of disapproval. Oh, come now. I’d be quite the hypocrite to disapprove. And you doing whatever you need to do to attain your goal. Huh? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours.

Huh? Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? You know what? How about in the future you stop reading my interviews and you go back to looking at pictures of the shirtless heworth brothers. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m just teasing you. No, you were questioning my journalistic integrity says the girl who didn’t hesitate to use blackmail to wrestle control of the spectator away from her old man.

Hey. If memory serves. That was your idea. One of my more inspired ideas at that. But we are straying way off topic. Yes. For good. I hope. No, no, no. Miss Heda hopper wannabe. Not until you explain to me why you went so easy on that scoundrel. Who is so, so easy on the eyes.

Look, Mr. Von Ner and I sat down and we had a rather nice chat. No, I had a roommate once who had a cat named Dimitri. Hello. I thought you wanted to hear about my lunch with the scoundrel. I do, I do. I’m just processing my distress over being exiled from my home. This room that we share so that the two of you can have one-on-one private time.

And when I returned hours past midnight dying to be debriefed, you weren’t even here. You wicked little gat about you. So tell me, after the bistro, did he take you to the hop word on the street? Is that Mr. Von Leischner can cut quite the rug for your information? No, we stayed here and we ordered room service.

Oh hmm. And did you eat your meals in bed under the cubbies? Of course. Not such restraint. Oh no. We sat down and ate in chairs and then when the interview concluded, I made a beeline for the office, wrote up a quick article to get into the morning edition. Hmm. It’s like all the president’s men minus the mutton chops and newsrooms.

What were we supposed to watch that the other night? I know you Gwenie and your article is dripping with subtext. I didn’t have to read much between the lines to know that you’ve got a thing for Dimitri. God, stop it. I barely know him. Yeah, and I know you better than anyone else on the planet. Lady Gwenivere over his Czechia.

So don’t try and pollute lady whistleblower’s air with your lies and deception.

Okay, fine. Yes. He’s quite attractive. I mean, who wouldn’t, who doesn’t? Nobody with eyes and a libido. Yes, exactly. But even beyond that, I, when I was talking to him and getting to know him, I, I realized we have so much in common. Oh, so the two of you were kindred spirits, huh? I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say that there was.

Definitely a connection there.

I actually happen to, like Gwen, she’s smart, savvy, gutsy, but I’m the one who got her the pardon and she owes me not the other way around. Right. Mm. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I, uh, I enjoyed her company. Oh yeah. She, uh, she, she seemed to really listen to everything that I had to say, and she even related to a number of my life experiences.

You mean? You mean the life experiences you no doubt tailored to me hers, the ones that were laid out in detail in the dossier that your mother gave you. Fine, yes. I may have embellished a few details and told her what she wanted, but Okay. Just. Be careful that it doesn’t turn into marriage gate with a reporter breaking her own story.

Well, that’s not gonna happen. Oh, in any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You do know, you do know that, um, mommy dearest, uh, has some big, bold plans of that inheritance of yours. No, she hasn’t made much of a secret about that. No, mommy dearest has a plan for everything.

Absolutely everything.

Nicole. I don’t know where EJ is. Have you checked between the couch cushions? This is serious, Stephan. Okay. EJ has made it abundantly clear that he’s not my keeper, so why should I be his? Because you’re his flesh and blood. Look, last night he sent me a text saying he had to go out of town for a last minute business trip, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m worried about him, Stefan, and I thought maybe you might know something. Well, I don’t, Nicole. And the fact that I don’t, and the fact that you don’t should tip us off to one thing, and that is, as we speak, EJ is probably up to something, uh, what’s the word, underhanded. Damn ropes. Okay, come on. Come, come on.

Deep breathy J. Deep breath. Calm. Calm. You’re gonna have to use every bit of your strength to free yourself and get out of here so you can warn Stephan about that at our sister of ass.

Okay? Okay. Okay. So E j’s tied up. In the secret room underneath the Demer Mansion seemed like the logical place to statue him. How’d you even know about it? I thought you never lived in that house. Well, I learned about it last year when I dispatched my beloved boat to relieve Kristen or that rare orchid.

In hindsight, I wish I had never actually sent him here to Salem. If I hadn’t, perhaps, then everything would’ve turned out differently. As much as I. Delight in hearing about all the questionable decisions you’ve made in your past. I’d rather talk about the current offering of choice that will preclude destroying my future.

Because if EJ tells anyone, EJ has been taken care of, your Honor, it’s immaterial. He’s my problem not yours. You. My handsome co-conspirator. You need to focus your full attention on eliminating Stephan so that you can eventually reunite with Gabriela Hernandez. Now, isn’t that what you want?

So how are we gonna do this? How? How are we going to eliminate Stephan?

Wait, you’re not thinking I’m the one who’s going to kill him, are you?

Ah, finally. Yeah. Sorry I’m late. Well, you should be, since you’re the one who called this meeting. Yeah. So am I correct in assuming that you gave some thought to what I proposed the other day? I have. And I’m in excellent. Megan Hathaway has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt somebody else.

Well, I’m so glad that you came to your Senses. Commander Michaels, obviously, we agree that she’s a minister to society, so when she’s soundly sleeping in her unmarked grave, I’m not, I’m not gonna kill her. Okay. So I. I don’t understand. I’m confused. You just said that you’re on board for getting rid of her and I still am.

In all my years of being a seal, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make somebody disappear.

I don’t see why you’d be put off with the concept of murder, Mr. Chin. Have you forgotten that? You’ve already made an attempt on my brother’s life when you pulled the plug on him and Dr. Rawla, which is why if Stephan Demara is the victim of foul play, I’d be the chief suspect. Prison may be a great place to, you know, finish Moby Dick, but I hear the food is pretty bland.

Well, good thing you’re not going to have to find out, but, but you just said that I was leading you astray, Mr. Shan. I would not trust an important job like this to an amateur assassin who couldn’t even get it right the first time. No, Mr. Shan, we need someone. With ice in their veins. Someone who is trained to kill and willing to kill, and I know just who that someone is.

So you’re gonna exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. So are you talking like a, a black side? Unless, unless you know the better. Okay. I’m fine. I’m fine. But the one thing I do know is that I’m gonna sleep a lot better once I know that woman is Spanish.

Yeah. You and a lot of other people. Indeed. But you do know we have to keep gifts between you and me. Okay. Yeah, of course is my husband, for better or worse, is a man of conscience. I mean, he believed that Orus had killed me and still he stopped Steve and John from Avening my death by killing Orus. So if he finds out about our little plan, as much as he loads Megan for what she did to me, he will definitely try to stop us.

Understood. You know, another thing I was thinking about too seems rather like cruel and unusual punishment to separated mother from her son. So as long as you have Megan blindfolded in an unmarked van, I’m thinking might as well pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

So Dimitri flashes you as baby browns as pearly whites. Maybe breaks out a van Leischner and you go softer on him than a goose feather pillow. Wrong, not to mention very unfair and disrespectful. I will have you know that I asked him some very hard questions, but something else got real hard during that interview.

I swear. Matt, hold on. Let’s see. Let’s see. Uh, no, actually I don’t see any mentions of how he kidnapped Kate Roberts or threatened to blow up half the houses of Parliament in Europe or Salem itself, for that matter. The little speck on the map that we call home and nothing about, and this is highly significant to me, obviously, but how he manhandled yours truly.

And last but certainly not least, not a single hard question about his psychopathic mother. What. I think you were just a tiny little bit jealous that he’s interested in me and not you. Oh, breaking news. Gwenivere. As much as I adore you forever, I hate to hold the stop sign up to this little ego trip of yours, but it’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Dimitri has an ulterior motive.

Oh, and what might that be? Prey. Tell my sweet little darling Misanthropic friend. It’s not misanthropic ness, miss. Whatever. I’m quite fond of. Most of humanity. Well, you anyway, but to answer your question, I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what lies ahead for you and Dimitri, the dastardly, but I would swear on my life that that dude is not motivated to charm that cute little tushy of yours and swear that the two of you are separated at birth because he thinks you’re the BE’S knees, which you are, but that’s irrelevant.

It’s because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan. Oh, like all great leaders before her. Your mother is wisely circumspect on the particulars of global Agen enemy, though I did hear her mention something about amassing an army of sorts with Harris Michaels at the helm, whatever that means. Uh, I guess it means that someone fell asleep in front of the history channel one too many times.

Man, mom, just, she sounds, sounds delusional. Grandiose. Yeah. I guess nothing new there. Yeah. Well, she can hand me a helmet and stick me on the trenches for all I care. Oh. I only intend to stay on my sister’s good side so that she can assist me in the resources necessary to regain full custody of my daughter.

Wow. So you’re going the legal route this time. That must be a whole new, exciting feeling for you. Oh, it’s gonna be a challenge to say the least. Brady has his little lawyer slash sister in his corner to keep me away from Rachel, and she is an attack dog, and I need an attorney to put a muzzle on her.

Unfortunately, it has been a challenge convincing someone to represent me. If only you had a hotline or a an app for this dilemma? No, no. I actually have someone in mind who might that be. Sloan Peterson, though. She is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Well, that sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Mm. Which I am confident that I can mitigate. You see? Dimitri, you are not the only one in this family who can turn on the charm. You know, I have heard Madame Mozel Peterson has a weakness for a, uh, very rare vintage champagne. A 96 Louisie owns put Mm, yes. And we have some in the cellar just collecting dust.

So, If I can turn on said charm and present her with said bottles, then I am quite sure that she’ll accept a retainer in. Bubbles.

Are you insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that I don’t know about? Right Nicole? It is certainly within the realm of possibility, don’t you think? No, I don’t think, and that, and this can’t be what’s happening because EJ and I are supposed to have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or, or how.

I can carry this baby to term and he did a lot of research to find this doctor, so I’m just trying to understand how he could suddenly be Mia. It doesn’t make any sense. Okay. Nicole, I hate to break this to you, but do you think that maybe just maybe. Killing my chances at Demara is more important to EJ than having this baby with you,

ej.

Putting aside your comprehensive knowledge of my rather checkered history with members of the opposite sex, how many bruises and bumps has my self-esteem and my ego sustained? I mean, what possible objective could Dimitri hope to achieve by charming me? Let me put my thinking cap on for a second. Hmm, I’ve got it.

Maybe the glowing article he’d hoped you’d write about him, which you in fact did. I mean, you can’t buy press like that. Oh, can’t is a strong word. Are you saying that the only reason he was interested in me is, was to use you to rehabilitate his reputation? Ding, ding, ding. Well, okay. I mean, yes, it did. It did occur to me, but I, I made sure to maintain the utmost professionalism and he seemed, he seemed really genuine.

No, I’m, no, I’m not diluting myself here. I. There was a definite attraction. There was this, it was like an electricity. It was so palpable. I’m telling you, I could feel it.

Because Dimitri is as cold-blooded and as manipulative as his mother and that son of a bitch. And I mean that literally might not have actually tried to kill me, but he did hold me hostage and he did force me to the head A boatload of fish was, was not only disgusting, it was totally moralizing. So yes, I would like to see that little mama’s boy just cut off at the knees.

I, I, I understand. I do, but making two people disappear. Well, yeah. I mean if it’s a matter of a incept in shovel, if Dmitri disappears along with Megan, it increases the risk substantially. So what are you saying? That’s what I’m saying. You bring the sun into the mix. It could complicate the mission to neutralize the mother.

I know you had Michael’s brainwash once, but I thought the is a D programmed him. I did, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t reprogram him to do my bidding, and that Lee is where you come in. Not my area of expertise, I’m afraid. However, you can secure someone whose area of expertise it is. I’m thinking, Dr.

Wilham rolls. I trust you know where he might be. You want me to bring the good doctor back to Salem? I do indeed. See, that’s not much to ask. Really. Rather simple, isn’t it? So let’s play this out. Dr. Rolfe programs Commander Michaels to murder Stephan and then OneLA. You and I both get exactly what we want.

Consider it done.

Stephan, you don’t know your brother like I do. I know him well enough to know that he’s a pompous. Ass, or shall I say pomp is rs. What does that have to do with him standing me up for something that’s important to both of us? Like I said, Nicole, nothing is more important to EJ than screwing me up. Oh, damn it Stephan.

I am not gonna wait into your sibling rivalry. I know this baby means too much to EJ to just blow off this appointment so he could love a grenade into this family feud. EJ has moved heaven and earth to get us this appointment with this doctor, and I know I trust that he’s gonna be there by my side for it.

Kristen, thank God you’re here. What? Who the hell did this to you with SCA and stuff in? No, it wasn’t that I, our bloody sister, Megan, but maybe you already know that. Excuse me. Maybe you were a part of this. I knew you two had your heads together plotting something. Oh my God. I had no idea what she was planning.

I just came down here looking for some champagne. Thank God you did. Okay. I know rational thought is not her strong suit, but did she give you a reason why she tied you up down here? She wanted to stop me from stopping her from killing our brother, Stephan.

As a thought experiment. Let’s just say I’m wrong, which I’m not. Almost never am. Let’s just say that Dimitri is vibing with you the way you’re vibing with him. Even if that were true. Aren’t you still licking your wounds from your ZA to break up? Yes, but I suppose I am, but. I mean, it’s not the worst way to get over someone.

Is it having a sexy, dangerous, probably very rich hotty to distract you. A sexy, dangerous, probably very rich Heidi who has made it clear he wants to kill me. Your best friend or so you claim it’s not a claim. It’s true. But think about it, Matty, if I can keep spending time with Dimitri and he thinks of me as the.

Bees knees, or however you put it, then I might even be able to talk him out of wanting to throw you against or through a wall every time he sees you. And maybe just maybe I can show him that you are not the obnoxious, incredibly annoying person that he and everybody else on this planet seems to think you are.

Okay. I’m not ruling out the possibility of dealing with Dimitri, but right now we just need to stay focused. I’m getting rid of Megan. Okay. Megan is the more pressing threat. No doubt. So what’s your, your time schedule? Well, why put off until tomorrow, which you can get done today. Okay. Call me when you’re done.

Aj, where are you?

Hi, aj. It’s me again. You know, at first I was really pissed off that you skipped town and didn’t return any of my phone calls or texts, but now I’m, I’m just worried I’m. I’m at the hospital for our appointment about the baby. Hopefully you just lush your phone and you’re on your way.

Well, well, well brother off to the office. Someone’s gotta keep this company running. Little Birdie told me EJ took another day off. Must have found a couple of palm trees in a hammock. Well, I hope he’s enjoying every moment of it. Life is fleeting and one day we’re all gonna look back and have tons of regrets.

All those woulda, coulda, should us. So live it up while you can. Seize the day as much as I’m enjoying this little Ted talk, Megan, I can’t help but wonder if you’ve had a chance to go over the proposal Gabby and I put together for you.

Well, it definitely sparked some ideas and left me with a few burning questions, but that time is precious and I don’t wanna keep you. Mm. We’ll talk later, right?

Assuming you’re still alive.

Hello, Donny.

I read the article in The Spectator Impressive. It seems that Ms. Rizek is already smitten with you. It oozes out of every sentence. Thank you. Well, uh, to be honest, I’m quite smitten with her as well. Wonderful. Well, perhaps you ought to go see her. Keep the momentum going. Perhaps I will. You know, before I go, uh, mother, I was just speaking to Aunt Kristen and well, she mentioned something.

She mentioned that she were putting together an army. What exactly is it that you’re doing, mother?

Whatever I do my. It’s with you in mind. So you just go sweep that British journalist off her feet and move us closer to our goal. Right.

By the way, where is that sister of mine now? Oh, she, uh, she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement. Yeah, I’m sure if you checked, she’d still be there right now. Bye mother.

Why would Megan wanna kill Stephan? Would you be so kind as to undo these bloody nods while we play 20 questions we need to him? Yes.

Okay. These are. Oh my god, these are tied pretty tightly. Yes, I’m well aware of that. Uh, speaking of difficult, not to mean, there was this, um, game that Brady and I used to play. Oh, no, no, no. Not now, not ever. Fine fight. Fine, fine, fine. Just go on about Megan and her motives. She said she was motivated to eliminate Stephan because she wanted to reshuffle the family power dynamics.

Oh God. That it would be some sort of means to whatever twisted ends, she’d conjured up in her disease brain. Well, I need to find something to cut those ropes with, so just hang tight. I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Sorry, but I cannot support this burgeoning fake romance between you and the venomous bond leischner, even if you could convince that creep to solve all the world’s problems, including climate change, inflation, threat of nuclear war, and rehabbing my reputation. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You’ve made your point.

I sure as hell hope so, because I see a whole lot of ambivalence in those big, soulful eyes of yours. Well, I’m fighting that ambivalence. Okay. I mean, what if your instincts are right, Matty? What if he’s just playing me like a fiddle just to get good press? What if I’m acting like a silly little school girl who has a crush on the jock who can’t even remember her name?

Hey. Hey, uh, I wanna thank you for letting your divorce with Gabby go through so smoothly. She and I are, uh, you know, yeah, I know soon to be married. I’ll keep an eye out for my invitation. I’s knew Gabby would end up with the love of her life.

Speaking of you, thank you. I told Gabby her happiness means a lot to me, so, um, When’s the big day? End of next month.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Too bad you won’t live long enough to say. I do.

So, is it fair to assume that you no longer have any queries about whether or not our system, Megan, is utterly unhinged? You know, I swear I had no idea what she was planning. Okay. I’ll admit, I will admit that when she pitched the these grandiose ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, I did go along with it.

Oh, but she is so much more deranged and sadistic than I thought. You know what? We could be her next victims after she’s done with Stephan. Seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan outta the way to get to me first.

I need to finally,

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: Hope, did you get the accessories list I sent you?

Hope: Oh, yes, I did. Thank you, mom. They look beautiful or should I say, grazie.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Thomas: It’s all coming together?

Hope: I know. I’m starting to get excited.

Carter: You’re not the only one. Katie forwarded some press about the preview. Check it out, man.

Thomas: Yeah. Huh. “Some of europe’s highest-profile influencers and fashion elite are streaming into rome for the much anticipated hope for the future preview.”

Steffy: No pressure.

Ridge: It should be a shining moment for our dream team.

Waitress: Another bourbon?

Liam: Uh, god, yes. Thank you.

Waitress: Of course.

Deacon: What’s the matter? You don’t– uh, you don’t like it? I told them extra vegan.

Liam: No, I’ve had it before. It’s– it’s really great. I’m just um, not very hungry.

Deacon: You missing hope? Yeah, me too. You know, she’s got a lot going on. She’s got her– her premiere. She’s got the press event.

Liam: Yeah. Well, you know, fingers crossed it’s a huge success.

Deacon: I know you want it to be a success. I do too. I also know that thomas is going on the trip and I can see from the look on your face, you ain’t too happy about that.

Liam: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hello. Have a proposition for you.

Eric: What’s that?

Rj: Well, steffy and dad are out of town. So that means that you are commander-in-chief. So, I was wondering if you would like to shake things up a little bit.

Eric: All right, I’m up for that.

Rj: Okay.

Eric: It’s very, uh, energizing for me to be so engaged at this company that I have, uh, built from the floor up. Yeah.

Rj: And it suits you. You look good behind that desk, chief.

Eric: That’s why I bought it. I love this desk. Come on, I’ve had this desk for a long time. Cost me a lot of money back in the day. Believe me. I’ve got a lot of satisfaction behind this desk, but no more satisfaction than I get from the drafting table. Have you– uh, have you reconsidered that? What about you, uh, picking up a pencil and uh, trying your hand at design?

Liam: You are, uh, very perceptive. I do not like the idea of thomas being there with hope, no.

Deacon: It’s a business trip.

Liam: For hope it is, 100%. For thomas, I don’t know what it is. It could be something else.

Deacon: She says he’s changed. She says he isn’t like that anymore.

Liam: Yeah. No, so I hear from literally everyone. It’s just, I don’t buy that and I don’t know if I ever will.

Steffy: Do you ever turn off those creative juices?

Thomas: Oh, is our C.E.O. Complaining?

Steffy: No, not at all. Just don’t spend the entire trip with your nose in a sketch pad. This is an incredible moment for you. I’m really proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you. It’s like the sweetest. I love it, hearing you say that. There was a long time where you weren’T.

Steffy: No. Yeah, well, it’s nice to see that you’re turning your life around.

Carter: Transportation team. They’re ready for us.

Ridge: Oh, you’ve got this all figured out, don’t you?

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: This event is very important for hope for the future.

Ridge: Very important. And you know what? I couldn’t have done it without you. When we’re done, I’m gonna take you to my favorite bar in rome to celebrate.

Carter: That sounds nice, but you might have other plans by then.

Ridge: Other plans? I’m gonna go with my best friend, have a beer. What are you talking about?

Carter: Yeah, that sounds good, but, you know, I’m sure you’re happier that brooke came along for the ride. You know what they say, rome is one of the most romantic cities on the planet. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Rj: I respect so much what you do, granddad. You know that, right?

Eric: I’m not gonna force you, son. Not at all.

Rj: Uh-huh?

Eric: But if you did have an interest in doing this, your father and I would be glad to show you the ropes, you know.

Rj: You’re giving me glad? My dad would be elated.

Eric: He would. He’s proud of you. He sees the talent you have, you know. We’ve both seen your work. It’s terrific and the energy and the creativity you have inside. You’re a forrester, no question about it.

Rj: Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. But you know, I’m working on my own stuff. I’m doing my own thing and enjoying it.

Eric: Your dad was a trailblazer too and he was his own man at your age, you know. He was. You have a lot in common, really. Look, he’s so proud of you and he– he and your mother are both very happy to have you home.

Rj: I’m not gonna lie. I’m really enjoying being back in L.A. I’m not gonna lie.

Eric: Good. You don’t feel left out a little, not going on the trip to rome with everyone else?

Rj: What? Are you kidding me? Listen, we are gonna have so much fun here. They’re gonna wish that they stayed.

Eric: All right.

Rj: Fair?

Eric: I’m with you. I have to wonder though, how this trip to rome is gonna affect your parents.

Liam: You know, I keep reminding myself that every obstacle hope and I have ever faced, we overcame.

Deacon: And you really think that this situation with thomas could be that serious?

Liam: I don’t want it to be, but look at all the stress it’s causing in our marriage. Everything is– is a disagreement now. I mean, I would, you know what? We couldn’t have one– one casual, normal conversation before this trip and that’s on me. It’s because I– I can’t get past it, but every time thomas gets brought up, it ends in an argument, it just does.

Deacon: It’s– it’s got to be frustrating for you and for her.

Liam: Frustrating? That’s diplomatic.

Deacon: Hey, I’m just saying, you see him one way, she sees him another. I don’t know any woman who’s more committed to her husband and family than my daughter.

Liam: You know what hope needs from me? Not just faith. She needs me to have faith in her decision to work with thomas. She needs me to believe, really believe that nothing bad is gonna happen. And my gut says, no.

[ Liam chuckling ] I– I can’t– I can’t do it. I can’t shake this– this ominous feeling about hope and thomas in rome together.

Thomas: Trying to make it more bold as– as it goes down the dress toward the ground. Okay. Yeah. No, I should– I should work more on this, sorry.

Hope: No. No, I’m sorry. Sorry.

Thomas: No. Honestly, it’s okay. It’s okay. You should rest and– and we’ll hit the ground running when we get there, right.

Hope: Yeah. Well, I kind of have this running checklist going through my mind right now, making it a little hard to fully relax, so.

Thomas: I could give you a massage like I did on the way home from san francisco.

Hope: I don’t think my mom or your sister would appreciate that.

Thomas: You are probably right. Though your mom does seem pretty distracted with my dad right now.

Brooke: Our kids really are keeping an eye on us.

Ridge: I know. It’s only gonna get worse when we get to rome.

Brooke: Well, I don’t mind it from the press but, uh, from thomas, after everything he’s put us through.

Steffy: Thomas, have you heard from mom?

Thomas: No. Why have– have you?

Steffy: No, I– I– I texted her after we took off, but I’m thinking she’s feeling a little left behind.

Hope: Well, taylor understands this is a business trip, right? I mean, it’s not like ridge and brooke are on vacation.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re not going to have a minute to relax.

Thomas: Yeah. And we are not gonna try and get our parents back together. That’s not happening again.

Steffy: It’s not happening. We want her father to be happy and that means his choice. Not ours.

Hope: Same goes with my mom.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I think right now, we just need to focus on work, minimize distractions. That won’t be a problem, will it?

Hope: What is that supposed to mean?

Steffy: I don’t know. You got on the flight a little late. How did it go with liam before you left? Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Eric: I’ve been a real brooke and ridge fan for a very long time. Don’t sit on the desk.

Rj: Okay. You know what? I– I have been too.

Eric: Yeah. Must have been a big disappointment for you when their– their marriage ended?

Rj: Yeah. Actually, it was shocking that it happened that quickly. But, you know me, my days of matchmaking are over, unlike steffy and thomas, so.

Eric: No, I think maybe they put that behind them too.

Rj: No, I know. I just thought it was smartest to stay away. Avoid getting involved in any drama, you know?

Eric: Not really your thing, right?

Rj: What? The family drama?

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I love the family drama. It’s wonderful.

Eric: That’s just a little too much sarcasm.

[ Rj laughing ]

Rj: Honestly, don’t get me wrong, I– I would like to see my parents together again. Honestly, I mean, I think they’re happier that way, but, I don’t know. I guess it’s just– it’s gotta be something that they really want, something that they both really push for.

Eric: Well, between you and me, I think it’s what they both want. I just think the timing hasn’t been right so far. Wait a minute, rome. Rome is a pretty romantic place, you know. We’ll see.

Deacon: Ominous? Don’t you think maybe that just sounds a little dramatic?

Liam: Yeah. Trust me, I– I hope I’m freaking myself out over nothing, but this is not the first time I’ve been around this block with thomas.

Deacon: Have you told hope how you feel about it?

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: This is all I’ve been saying since he went back to work at forr– no, this is all I’ve been saying since she decided to rehire him on her line.

Deacon: Okay. But she wouldn’t have done that if she had any doubts.

Liam: She did though. We both did. She was just as worried as I was and then hope went and did what hope always does because this is who she is as a person. She gave him another chance and…

Deacon: Okay, I– allow me to play devil’s advocate for just a moment here, all right? So, is it possible that those things, the co-parenting, being the best designer? It makes a pretty good case for giving the guy another shot to see if he’s actually who he says he is.

Liam: Maybe, except something always happens. Hope lets her guard down, doesn’t want to blow him off, and then I’ll give you three guesses who gets hurt? Your daughter.

Brooke: How are you?

Hope: Um, I’m all right.

Brooke: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Did you talk to liam?

Hope: Well, I haven’t talked to him since I left L.A., But I will text him when we land.

Brooke: Oh, don’t you think he’d like to hear your voice?

Hope: He’ll hear my voice when I wish the kids goodnight, um, but uh, what about– what about you and ridge? You two seem to be getting pretty cozy.

Brooke: Did you forget your mantra already? This is a business trip.

Hope: Yes. And it will probably be one of the busiest. I mean, thomas and I, we’re going to be swamped. But, uh, you and ridge, I don’t know, you might have some downtime. Could do some press.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, that is so romantic.

Hope: Well, you never know. I mean, you’re in rome, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah. You never know. It’s just, ridge has been acting kind of different, you know? He doesn’t even call me logan. I think he’s just trying to protect me.

Hope: From what?

Brooke: More pain. More heartache.

Ridge: You know why your mom isn’t on the trip, right?

Steffy: I do. You shouldn’t feel guilty about brooke being here. She’s working.

Ridge: Which is what we should be doing.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Whatever the future holds, brooke or mom, just know that I’m– I’m happy for you.

Ridge: Really?

Steffy: I am and I want you to enjoy yourself. You don’t have to act like this stoic businessman. We’ll be in rome, the most beautiful romantic place on earth. Live a little.

Ridge: That’s what carter said.

Steffy: Well, he is right. Italy has inspired artists for centuries, so live your life. 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, available now at walmart. “Look at this skin, baby.

Deacon: Listen to me, if tommy boy does anything to cross the line, that’s it. He’s done, he’s out, adios. I’ll make sure of it.

Liam: I have heard that same thing from hope countless times.

Deacon: And you don’t think she means it?

Liam: It’s not that she doesn’t mean it. It’s that it’s not a deterrent if he knows she will always reconsider and take him back.

Deacon: Has thomas done anything to make you suspicious?

Liam: No, nothing specific. It’s just, uh, it’s just a feeling. It’s just a big old knot in my gut. That’s it.

Deacon: Like something bad’s gonna happen in rome?

Hope: Excuse me?

Thomas: Yeah, sure.

Hope: You know, steffy, you don’t have to stare every minute.

Steffy: You never answered my question earlier.

Hope: Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t because my marriage is none of your concern.

Steffy: I’m concerned about this trip. There’s a lot riding on it.

Hope: Oh, believe me, steffy, I know that better than anyone. This showing could make or break my line.

Steffy: Look, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Thomas has turned his life around. He has made tremendous progress and we’re all proud of him. I won’t let you or anyone destroy all his hard work.

Hope: And I’m going to tell you what I’ve said over and over. What I have told liam, that is that there is nothing to worry about. There’s nothing.

Thomas: Hey, I okayed the schedule with carter. He’s good with it.

Hope: Good. Good.

Thomas: Is everything okay?

Sharon: He has faith, nick. He has our baby.

Nick: We’re gonna get her back, all right? It’s gonna be okay. We’ll get her home safe and sound.

Sharon: He… he… he wants to meet me at the motel. Same room. Midnight.

Nick: That is not happening. I will go in your place.

Sharon: He wants me alone. I have to go, nick. It’s the only way.

Nick: Why would I ever allow you to go and meet up with him on your own?

Sharon: Because this.

Lily: Hey. What’s going on?

Daniel: Oh, nothing. Just sitting here trying to enjoy an adult beverage and contemplating life’s mysteries.

Lily: Okay, well you sounded really upset on the phone. Is everything okay? Is it– is it phyllis?

Daniel: It’s always phyllis.

Lily: What happened? I mean, I knew you were afraid that she was gonna get arrested. Did she get arrested?

Daniel: No. Not yet. But I am afraid that the next time I see my mom or my sister, they’ll both be behind bars.

Summer: Oh. I thought I heard kyle come in.

Diane: No, just me.

Summer: Uh, well, I’m sure that he’s already told you, but I… I want you to hear it from me too. It’s– it’s true. I’ve known that my mom is alive for… a while now, so. Go ahead. Let me have it. I know that you want to.

Diane: I’ve already forgiven you.

Kyle: All of the times that you ran off without an explanation, and lame ones at best, you were going to see phyllis, weren’t you? When were you going to tell me what you’ve been hiding? What the hell, summer? You lied about something that directly affected all of our lives for months. How could you do that? You could have cleared my mother’s name and set her free. You could have gotten her out of that god awful place, but instead, you decided to sit back and do nothing!

Summer: Kyle, you gotta believe me. I was trying to figure out how to keep both of our moms out of prison. I only kept quiet to buy time. To bring my mom home safely. That’s it.

Kyle: No, I am sorry, summer. I can’t accept your justifications. You were only thinking about you and your mother.

Summer: No, I was– I was trying to do what was right for everyone.

Kyle: No, stop, stop, stop. You have to own up to your actions here. You weren’t just sitting back and watching my mother suffer. You watched me suffer.

Summer: I was suffering lying to you, kyle. It was torture for me.

Kyle: No, and you were so damn good at it. You lied repeatedly to my face!

Audra: Is that seat taken? Want to get him involved.

Nick: I’m gonna go this motel and rip cameron apart with my bare hands.

Sharon: Nick, we need to think this through. This is cameron. You know how careful we need to be.

Nick: This psychopath has kidnapped our daughter. She is bound and gagged and probably terrified out of her mind. I need to go and pound him into the ground until he gives us our daughter back alive and well!

Sharon: You cannot go charging over there like a bull in a china shop! You might put faith in more danger!

[ Door knocking ]

Victor: Sharon, this is victor.

Nick: You’re right. I’m not going to go alone. I’ll get dad’s security team to back me up.

Sharon: I thought you didn’t want to get him involved.

Nick: We need all the help we can get. Dad, I’m glad you’re here.

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I need your help.

Victor: With what?

Nick: Cameron has faith.

Victor: What?

Nick: Let me see the phone.

Victor: How did this happen? With all the security I provided, how did this happen?

Nick: We’ll worry about that later. Right now, we need to focus on getting faith back. Will your security team provide me with some backup?

Victor: Of course. I’ll get you an army to get her back. How the hell did this happen?

Sharon: Okay, stop it, the both of you. You cannot go storming over there all fired up for battle. That could be the most dangerous thing you would do. Do– you read his message. I need to be the one to go. I have got to be the one to face cameron. Alone. Gala.

Kyle:

Audra: Kyle, right? Audra charles. We met at the gala.

Kyle: Uh, yeah. You’re the one who found my phone. Thanks again.

Audra: Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you’d remember, considering everything.

Kyle: Seems like a lifetime ago.

Audra: Yeah, I can imagine your memories of that night are pretty difficult given what happened to your wife’s mother, or should I say, didn’t happen. Rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated. I guess it depends on what rumors you want to believe.

Kyle: Mm. Well, I would normally advise you not to believe any rumors, but… in this case, they might all be true.

[ Nick sighing ]

Audra: So, phyllis summers faked the whole thing and is actually alive?

Kyle: I’m sorry, audra. You seem very nice, but I’m not in the business of discussing my personal life with total strangers.

Audra: Oh. I get it. Though, in my experience, sometimes it’s a total stranger you most need to talk to. Their perspective is so much clearer. It’s not prejudiced with preconceived notions about a person or a situation. It’s no judgement. It’s kind of like with bartenders, you know? People will tell them everything because they’re just there to innocently listen.

Kyle: Well, that’s very kind of you, but I think I’m just gonna–

Audra: I promise I’m a very good listener.

Summer: Uh, maybe you haven’t heard the whole story.

Diane: Are you trying to talk me out of forgiving you?

Summer: No. I just think that once you know everything, you might regret your decision.

Diane: Why don’t you tell me the whole story? What is it that you think I don’t know about yet?

Summer: Look, I know that keeping this secret has really hurt kyle and you, of course. I could have gotten the charges against you dropped way sooner, but I didn’T. Instead, I ch– chose to protect my mom at your expense.

Diane: I’m well aware of that.

Summer: And what? You’re– you’re okay with what I did?

Diane: No. No, no, no. No. You let me sit in jail with my life hanging in the balance over utterly false charges. I am not okay with that. But, I do understand why you did it.

Summer: You do.

Diane: Yes. I realize that you were put into an impossible situation with no easy solution. Trust me, summer. I’m not playing games here. This is how I feel and I’ll even take it a step further. I’m going to do everything in my power to convince kyle to forgive you too.

Summer: You would do that? After everything that has happened? Wow. Thanks, diane.

Diane: Oh, no thanks necessary. I really– I really can’t stand to see you and kyle torn apart over this, and god knows you shouldn’t be blamed for something that was clearly not your fault.

Summer: It’s all my fault. I’m responsible.

Diane: Well, yes, but we all know that phyllis manipulated you into keeping you quiet. I mean, it was her psychotic plan that caused all this trouble in the first place, so if anyone is to blame–

Summer: Okay, hold on, diane. Please, please, do not turn this into an attack against my mom.

Nick: There’s no way I’m letting you face this bastard on your own.

Victor: Sharon, think about it for a moment. This is too dangerous. He may be setting a trap for you.

Sharon: I don’t doubt that it is a trap.

Nick: Wait, you realize that, but you’re still willing to walk right into his web?

Sharon: He has faith and we have no idea where. It terrifies me to think what he might do to her. He might have somebody else watching her, just waiting for a word to do her harm and I know that he’s thought this through. Every angle. He’ll have taken precaution.

Nick: Then we do the same.

Sharon: He’s methodical in his madness and we cannot take that risk with faith’s life.

Nick: Still, I just– I cannot fathom the idea of you being alone with him.

Victor: I agree with nicholas, but if you do– I think it’s an insane idea, but if you do, you’ve got to arm yourself.

Sharon: That could be the trigger that sets him off. We have to got to be careful not to push him to go to a more dangerous place. He’s already delusional enough to think that I might fall in love with him. Nick, isn’t that what he said to you?

Nick: Yeah, and I actually think that he believed it.

Sharon: All right. If that’s the case, and he is that delusional to think that we could be together and we have some future together, cameron is not planning on hurting me, but that wouldn’t be true of anybody else who goes after him… which means that I am the only one who has the power to control the situation.

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Daniel: Right?

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Honestly, I don’t know what to do. Summer’s desperate to keep mom out of prison and she’s willing to go to any lengths necessary.

Lily: Well, it sounds like summer. And your mom.

Daniel: Right? The problem is, summer wants me to help her do it.

Lily: Do what? Try and keep your mom out of prison? I mean, you can’t turn back time. What’s done is done.

Daniel: Exactly. Meanwhile, mom wants me to do whatever it takes to keep summer out of it.

Lily: Well, how are you supposed to do that?

Daniel: I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe she’ll finally do the right thing.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Well, why would she start now?

Daniel: It’s a good point. Especially if it means turning herself in. I can’t see that happening. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Lily: What do you mean?

Daniel: Mom is on the run again. So, even if I wanted to turn her in, I can’t now.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Daniel, I’m really sorry you’re stuck in the middle of this.

Daniel: Hm.

Lily: But to be honest with you, as someone who’s actually been to prison, it might not hurt for phyllis to do some time.

Diane: Summer, I’m not attacking phyllis. I just think it’s clear who’s to blame for the nightmare we’ve all been going through.

Summer: I agree. It is clear. This was all a part of stark’s master plan. He’s the one who started all of this trouble to begin with.

Diane: Well, I guess, technically, that’s true.

Summer: You know what? If you wanna go all the way back to try to place blame, how did we even hear stark’s name in the first place? I think it was you that brought him into our lives, diane.

Diane: Oh, wait a minute. I’m not the one who invited him to town.

Summer: But you’re the one who had history with him. You’re the one that burned him. Everything is unintended consequences.

Diane: Unintended consequences? Summer. Summer, we’re getting way off track here. Yes, this plan was the work of jeremy stark, but he could not have faked phyllis’ death without her full participation and it is naive to think that your mother is somehow innocent in all of this.

Summer: No, my mom didn’t do any of this on her own. She was coerced and threatened and maybe even blackmailed into doing what she did.

Diane: Is that what phyllis is telling you? That she was blackmailed into that performance at the gala?

Summer: Diane, you were the one who brought stark to town and maybe you didn’t commit murder, but you’re not innocent and I’m not ever gonna let myself forget that.

[ Diane sighing ]

Nick: All right, sharon. All right. If you insist with on meeting with cameron alone, you’re gonna take some precautions.

Sharon: Like what?

Nick: First, you’re gonna go in there with some backup and that includes me.

Sharon: He said to come alone, nick. Cameron said.

Nick: No. We will keep our distance so we don’t alert cameron. Your team can manage that, right, dad?

Victor: One second. I just found the number of a special ops guy whose specialty is rescue missions.

Nick: All right. Set it up. Let’s go.

Victor: I’ll call him right now.

Nick: Thanks, dad.

Victor: Sharon… thank you. You’re risking your life to save my granddaughter. I’ll never forget it.

Nick: Takes a lot of courage to do what you’re doing. I still hate this plan, but cameron is crazy. He’s already in your head, he’s got our daughter’s life in his hands. He knows where you’re most vulnerable.

Sharon: Of course I’m vulnerable where my child is concerned. I’m so afraid for her right now, I could scream. I know first hand what cameron is capable of. It’s taken everything inside of me not to fall apart. And the thought of facing him again? Makes me sick to my stomach, but I don’t have time for that, nick.

[ Sniffling ] Our baby doesn’t have time.

Audra: Something like tha

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: So… you wanna be my bartender, audra?

Audra: Something like that.

Kyle: Well, I have simone over there, who is an actual bartender and she makes the perfect old fashioned and I have to say, she’s probably a much more innocent listener than you are.

Audra: Oh. What are you getting at, hm?

Kyle: I’m just a little weary. I don’t know what you’re really after.

Audra: You don’t think it’s possible that I’m just a sounding board? Someone you can talk to who won’t judge?

Kyle: Hm. I get the feeling I should keep my guard up around you. From what I’ve heard, you have ambitions.

Audra: Oh, wow, kyle. Some people say that my ambitions are my best quality.

Kyle: Well, that may be, but I don’t know if I can confide in an ultra achiever like yourself. I’ve heard you’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Audra: Hm. You heard things about me? I’m flattered. But you’re right. I do consider myself an achiever. I’ve successfully made a mark for myself wherever I’ve gone.

Kyle: Including with my brother-in-law, noah newman.

Audra: Brother-in-law.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: Right. Uh… that’s all in the past now. You know, he’s moved on and found happiness and I moved on as well.

Kyle: But have you found happiness?

Audra: Have you? Hm. You look like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Kyle: How about this? I finish my drink and you talk while I listen?

Audra: I’m game. What do you want me to talk about? Look, I am well versed in a variety of topics. Some important and weighty, and some just downright ridiculous.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: Well, how about you tell me more about yourself?

Audra: Okay.

Kyle: How did you end up here in genoa city?

Audra: Since you asked, um, I came here working for tucker mccall until I zigged to a brief stint with chancellor-winters. And then, I zagged to newman media where I found my true self working with nate hastings. I think I found my home there.

Kyle: So, ultra achiever, where do you go from newman media?

Audra: Well, I’m happy where I’m at, but I’ll see what opportunities present themselves. Ambition is not a dirty word to me, kyle.

[ Kyle chuckling ] In fact, you know, I think, um, some people are afraid of their own desires. It’s like… they’re ashamed to admit how badly they want something.

Kyle: Are you sure we’re still talking about jobs?

Audra: Mm. You tell me.

Mariah: Thank you so much. Hi, summer. You know, I was actually hoping to run into you. I was wondering if you got the bouquet that tessa and I sent? The flowers for phyllis’ memorial?

Summer: Yeah. They were beautiful, thanks.

Mariah: So, what do you do now? Now, do you just send all those flowers back to people? Because it was all a big lie? Or… what happens?

Summer: Mariah, I really just wanted to get some chamomile tea without all the attitude, so if I could just do that, please.

Mariah: Oh, yeah. No, I can’t see that happening, but you can take this with your chamomile. What in the hell were you thinking?

Summer: I’m not in the mood for this right now.

Mariah: You know, I’ve never had an especially high opinion of you, but even I was surprised that you could keep phyllis’ secret, knowing how deeply it would affect diane and kyle.

Summer: You know what? What would you have done if sharon was the one that needed protecting? Especially after you went the trauma of thinking that you lost her forever? Yeah, it’s really easy to judge when you haven’t been through it yourself.

Mariah: I suppose if sharon had been the one that I thought I lost forever, then yes, I would do anything to keep her safe and close.

Summer: Okay. Exactly. That’s– that’s exactly what I did. I’m glad that you see my point of view.

Mariah: I– I can see it, but I still do not agree with what you did.

Summer: Can I ask you a question? And depending on the answer, I might ask you a favor.

Nick: We are going to get faith back. I promise you that. She’s gonna be fine.

Sharon: I know she will. She has to be. Nothing will happen to her and we’ll have her home in no time, right?

[ Door knocking ]

Nick: Who’s there?

Chance: Chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: What’s wrong? Did something happen?

Sharon: It’s faith.

Nick: Cameron has her.

Sharon: He’s demanding that I meet him at the motel we met at years ago and to come alone.

[ Chance exhaling ]

Chance: Okay. Thank you for not keeping this from me. You guys can’t handle this on your own.

Nick: We have to find her.

Sharon: Our poor baby. She must be terrified. Please tell me you can help us find her.

Chance: I did find something at the athletic club. Kirsten left behind a satchel with some papers inside of it, one of which was a deed to some property on the outskirts of town.

Nick: What kind of property?

Chance: It’s an old, abandoned garage off birchwood.

Sharon: And he owns the building?

Chance: According to the deed.

Nick: Which means that he has had this plan in the works for quite a while. And that property is very close to the motel where he wants to meet up with sharon.

Sharon: So, what do you think? Is that where he’s keeping faith?

Daniel: So, you think

Daniel: So, you think my mother should go to jail?

Lily: I just think that it might benefit phyllis to have some time alone to face the consequences of her actions and realize how much she’s hurt the people she loves.

Daniel: You’ve seen the inside of a cell, but she could be looking at decades.

Lily: I know. I know that my experience was short, but it changed my life. It gave me a completely different perspective on things.

Daniel: Yeah, lily, but prison. I mean, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, much less my own mother.

Lily: I know, I know. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it’s amazing, right? Like, obviously it’s hard. I mean, there were days that I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it through, but I did and I came out a better person for it.

Daniel: You were kind of an okay person before that.

Lily: Look. I know that my experience is the exception to the rule, okay? I know that not everyone comes out of prison saying, you know, “oh, that was amazing. I learned so much.” But I did. And you know what? It might be good for phyllis to get a different perspective on things. To see women who are facing struggles much harder than she is, right? Far harder than “I’m living in a town with somebody that I hate.”

[ Daniel sighing ]

Mariah: So, you wanna ask me for a favor. What kind?

Summer: Uh, I assume that kyle has vented to you about how upset he is with me.

Mariah: Mm-hmm. For the record, he was far more gracious than I would’ve been were I in his shoes.

Summer: That’s nice to hear that he’s not publicly trashing me, but I know that privately, he is livid.

Mariah: Are you about to ask me what I think?

Summer: I’m not gonna speculate what goes on in your head.

Mariah: I hope you’re not expecting me to take phyllis’ side in all of this because actually, I encouraged kyle to go to the police with everything that he knows, so.

Summer: No, I don’t– I don’t expect that. I just want to know if… if you’re on my side, mine and kyle’s as a couple.

Mariah: Ooh.

Summer: Mariah, do you still believe all of those loving and supportive things that you said at our vow renewal? Do you believe that we belong together?

Mariah: I see where you’re going with this. You want me to convince kyle to forgive you. Are you serious, summer? I mean, you’ve– you’ve gotta be kidding me. Are you willing to take accountability for any of your actions? That’s actually incredible impressive.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: This was a mistake. I should not have tried to talk to you. Obviously, you’re never gonna see me any differently than how you always have.

Kyle: Thanks, audra.

Audra: For what? I don’t remember doing anything.

Kyle: For giving me something else to think about other than my own problems for a little while.

Audra: You certainly pulled a fast one. I have to admire that.

Kyle: How so?

Audra: Well, you got me talking about myself when I was trying to get you to do the same. Maybe next time.

Kyle: Maybe.

Audra: But, if I was able to cheer you up, even a little bit, I’ll consider the night a success.

Kyle: Well, then. Congratulations. Have a good rest of your night.

Audra: And you do the same.

Sharon: Right there. There’s a pile of tires. That’s where she is. He’s keeping her there. It’s the garage on birchwood.

Nick: Where’d you say you found that bag at cameron’s?

Chance: In his room, behind the sofa. Why? What are you thinking?

Nick: It’s too convenient. It’s too easy.

Sharon: Another trap?

Nick: It’s possible, but somebody does need to go to check this place out, just in case faith is there.

Chance: I’m on it. I’ll take a small team with me. You two need to stay put, okay? Do not go to that motel. It’s too dangerous and you don’t know what he has waiting in there for you. I sent that picture to myself. I’ll let you know what I find.

Sharon: Thanks, chance.

Nick: Yes. We appreciate everything we’re doing to find our girl.

Sharon: What if she’s not there?

Nick: And if you don’t show up like cameron demanded?

Sharon: We can’t take the chance that something happens to our daughter.

Nick: I agree.

Sharon: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Nick: Oh, we’re going to that motel. To be this uny

Mariah: No. No, no, no. No, you’re not– you’re not gonna do that to me, okay? You’re not gonna turn this around on me and paint me to be this unyielding and stubborn person who doesn’t cut people a break. That’s not me.

Summer: Come on, mariah. You’ve been stubborn and unyielding since the day I met you.

Mariah: Summer, I will be the first person to admit that you have matured in a lot of ways. For one, you and kyle, you were both so happy before all of this. And for another, I really admire what an amazing mother you are to harrison.

Summer: Thanks for that.

Mariah: But as much as you’ve grown up, you’re still your mother’s daughter. You still have that same streak of selfish recklessness and I’m sorry, but I don’t know that you’re ever gonna be able to convince me that you are good enough for kyle.

Summer: Wow. You know, you really shouldn’t agree to officiate a vow renewal if you truly despite the bride that much.

Mariah: No, no, I didn’t say that. I don’t despise you, summer, and I was truly hoping that your marriage would work out.

Summer: What are you saying? That it’s not gonna work out? That my marriage is over?

Mariah: Summer, oh… my goodness. You really need to take a very hard look at what you have done. You have deceived kyle. You chose your mother over everyone else. You left his mother sitting in a jail cell. You’ve hurt them both so much.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I guess I can forget that favor.

Mariah: Yeah, but I will– I will give you a different one.

Summer: What’s that?

Mariah: Advice. Just give kyle the time that he needs. After what you did, it is going to take a lot to earn his forgiveness, as it should be. And I don’t know if you will ever be able to earn his trust again. And you would have no one to blame for that but yourself.

[ Mariah sighing ]

Nick: We should head to the motel. If chance calls and says they have faith, then we’ll come right back home. But if not? We stick to our original plan. We go. Dad’s security team and I will be right behind you. Then, we go in there and we take cameron out and we bring our daughter home alive.

Sharon: We have to do this. We have no other choice, right?

Nick: No, we don’t, but I want you to take one more precaution. If you’re gonna face cameron alone, I don’t want you to go in there completely unarmed.

Summer: Hi. You’re home.

Nick: All right. This’ll work.

Sharon: A knife? Nick, I can’t meet cameron wielding that in my hand.

Nick: That’s why we’re gonna keep it hidden and tape it to your leg.

Sharon: My leg?

Nick: Yes, sharon. You need something to defend yourself with.

Sharon: You’re right. I guess I do need something in case he snaps and loses it again.

Nick: It’s not gonna come to that, all right? This is just a precaution. It’s a last resort. My dad’s security team and i will be there. He’s not gonna lay a finger on you. Have a seat. Now, hold that right there. All right. How’s that feel?

Sharon: FinE.

Nick: It’s not too uncomfortable?

Sharon: No, it’s fine. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get our baby back.

Daniel: I appreciate your opinion on the situation and with all due respect, I have taken everything you’ve said to heart, but whatever does happen, I really hope it doesn’t come down to prison for my mom or my sister.

Lily: Yeah, no, you’re… you’re right. You’re right. I mean, honestly, I– I actually hope so too. I just– maybe… maybe I was just rationalizing in case it does come to that.

Daniel: Mm. Sure. And if it does, you can always point back to this conversation and say, “ah, remember. There are advantages to being a prisoner.”

Lily: I’m really sorry.

Daniel: Don’t apologize. It’s actually kind of thoughtful, in a perverse sort of way.

Lily: Oh, god.

[ Daniel sighing heavily ] Is there anything I can do to help? Honestly, just name it.

Daniel: No. No. I’m at a loss trying to figure out what I can even do. It just feels like the whole situation is spiraling out of control. Today, I went to my brother-in-law to try and convince him to not to give up on summer, but even kyle wouldn’t listen to me, you know. Just… the whole situation just seems uncertain. For all of us.

Summer: You– you should’ve seen harrison tonight. He was so cute. I was reading him bumpy the camel and he kept on stopping me so that he could read it to me. He’s heard that story so many times, he knows it by heart.

Kyle: Sorry I missed that.

Summer: You know, that kind of memorization, it’s the first step to reading, so we should guide him in that direction. I could buy him so beginner reading books.

Kyle: That’s a good idea.

Summer: Kyle, I’ve been thinking a lot and I have a lot of things I wanna say. Could we talk now?

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Not tonight.

Nick: I believe in you.

Sharon: And I believe that you will be my back up and make sure that nothing happens.

Nick: Absolutely.

Sharon: Okay, I have to think about how I’m gonna handle him. Maybe I could just get him to tell me where faith is, but if he seems tense or angry, I’m just gonna remain calm and strong and try not to get emotional.

Nick: All right. I’m gonna run up to the main house and talk to dad and the security team. Just make sure they know they have to do everything as discreetly as possible. We’ll leave from the back service exit. Meet me behind the house in ten minutes.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Cameron: Hi, sharon.

[ Sharon gasping ]

Cameron: Everybody’s gone. It’s just you and me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How’s the water, birthday boy? Oh, just perfect oh, I wish I could. Unfortunately, I have a meeting with a client I have to get to. Oh. Well, I sure do appreciate you stopping by. Of course. Had to say happy birthday to my only brother-in-law.

[ Chuckles ] Zeke, you make that meeting as fast as you can and come back. We’re having cake later on. Cake? Yes. Oh, I will so be there.

[ Laughter ] Alright, I’ll see you. Okay. Cheers. Everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. I was just kind of hoping that, um, you know, maybe… happy birthday, curtis.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Buttons clicking ] Michael, it’s drew. I just, um — I just wanted to say thank you so much for holding down the fort at aurora. No, I have not been to G.H. Yet. Things got a little bit crazy last night, but I’m — I’m gonna get there soon. I just, um… I got to take care of a little business first. Let’s just say that I am taking the future into my own hands. Sasha, you’re already here. Yeah. I didn’t want to be late. We have time to take a breath. Gladys, I know where this is going, so I’m gonna ask you, please don’t start. There’s no reason to jump into terminating the guardianship. We have been over this several times. I…just want you to think about it a little longer.

[ Scoffs ] It was only a few days ago that you went on the home & heart shopping channel and you almost had another break. I was being manipulated by those sleazy producers. I wasn’t hearing a baby cry in my head. They were playing that noise in my earpiece. Still, the worst could have happened. But the worst

didn’t happen. I was able to hold it together, and the producers backed off, thanks to cody. Well, even you have to admit it, gladys. Cody stepped up and saved the day. Oliviaee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus. Holy mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now… olivia, are you okay?

[ Sniffles ] Yeah. When I was a little kid growing up in — in bensonhurst, I always remember all the — all the grandmas and the great-aunts pulling out their rosaries, you know, in a time of crisis. And I always swore that I would never be that… old-fashioned, you know, old lady. And then I got old.

[ Chuckles ] And I realized… how scary life can be. And I’m so grateful for my rosaries and for my prayer and for my — for my faith. You know, it comforts me. Why’d you stop praying? Because… honey, I’ve been praying all night. I don’t feel like god is listening. If god listens to anyone, it’s you. Well, then why don’t we have any news about your dad, huh? Just give me a sign, please, something. Hey. Drew told me what happened to ned. And I wanted to be here for you and your family. Olivia, this is great. Carly, you’re an angel. Olivia, look, if I’m the last person you want to see, I can just go. Tj: Ms. Quartermaine? We have some news about your husband.


This is for you, curtis. Thank you, trina. I’m really glad you came. It’s so good to see you, sweetheart. I-I couldn’t — I couldn’t miss curtis’ birthday. I’m so glad to see you, baby. Give me a hug. Oh. Hi. Alright, alright, alright. My turn. Come on. There we are.

[ Laughter ] Wonder what’s keeping thomas junior. Oh, um, tj called to wish me happy birthday and to apologize that he couldn’t be here to join us. He’s shadowing the head of neurology at G.H., So he couldn’t get the day off. Oh. Oh, what a shame. I was hoping to get the whole family together now that it’s all official. And here I thought you were gonna forget about me. I, um, actually had something to talk to you about. Do you have time for a coffee? Oh, um, actually, I can’t stay. I have to meet a client. Okay, you’re gonna need to come up with another excuse, because that one — it’s getting old. No, no, no. Listen, listen. I don’t live in port charles, so when I’m in town, I’m kind of at the mercy of my clients. However, now that you’ve called me, I have your digits. So what do you say? Are you free for lunch? I’ll see what I can do. Okay. Well, if you can’t, I’ll just call you and we’ll make other plans. Okay? Okay. Excuse me. Good seeing you. Hey…partner. How about you join me for a drink? I wasn’t all that sure about cody, but I’ve really come around on him. He seems like he’s one of the good guys.

[ Scoffs ] Am I the only one who remembers that cody stole an expensive bracelet from me? Well, uh, wait a minute. That has yet to be proven. Is that true, detective? I’m not — I’m not gonna comment on that. Are you two here to see willow? Uh, no. Ned, actually. He was in an accident. Oh, no. I’m so sorry, dante. As if your family isn’t going through enough. I will pray for you all. Thanks, sasha.

[ Cellphone rings ] Uh, this is the station. I gotta — oh, yeah. Go take it. I assume you’re here to see willow. I am. After my appointment. I’m here to see a psychiatrist to discuss ending my guardianship. Congratulations. That’s great news. Just to be clear, it’s not a done deal. It’s just the initial consultation. You’re not against sasha regaining control of her life, are you? Okay, let’s update you on what we’ve learned about ned. Okay, um, I don’t want to intrude. So I’m — I’m gonna take off. Okay.

[ Crying ] Carly, wait. Will you stay, please? Of course. Of course I’ll stay with you. Okay. Okay. We’re ready. Late last night, we put ned under twilight sedation for his brain swelling. Oh, god. I’m sorry. No, no. Tj explained that, um, the swelling was moderate enough that — that they may be able to bring it down with the — with medication, with the diuretics. That’s right? That’s correct, yes. We’re keeping ned in a twilight state to manage his pain until the swelling goes down. Unfortunately, we’re not seeing as much improvement as we’d like. W-what does that mean? That means we’ll continue to monitor him for now. But if the swelling persists, we’ll have to bring him in for surgery.

[ Sobs ] You iod. Taggert, it’s only 11:00 A.M., And clearly you’ve already had a few. Are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be okay? I was just wondering if you had spoken with — with taggert at all recently. No. Why? Because he might need a friend right about now.

[ Sighs ] The dna results came back. And curtis is trina’s father. What you need isn’t found in a bottle. Says you. Come on, let’s get you back to your room. I’m on my way to the conference room downstairs to meet with the sec attorneys and work out the plea deal. But it’s my job to look after your best interests. So once again, I’m going to advise you not to do this. I hear you, again. Not changing my mind. But you want me to hold off finalizing the deal because of that ace up your sleeve, correct? Right. Yeah, just don’t finalize anything yet, okay? Um…I’m still holding on to hope. You okay? I’m not sure. I think I just saw my ex-brother-in-law. Okay, everyone. Yes? I want to make a toast to my son. Oh, pop, it’s really not necessary. I know I don’t have to, but I’m gonna do it anyway because…I remember when you were born. I held you in my arms, and I couldn’t believe how blessed I was to be the father of another — another perfect son. I wanted to teach you all the things that my father had taught me. You see, my father, he, uh — my father made sure that I knew that it was just as valuable to play a musical instrument as it was to throw a ball around. He — he made sure he taught me to be open to — to new experiences, explore the world. That’s what I wanted to teach you. But, uh, as we all know, sadly, life turned out differently. But, hey, in spite of that, my son, he loves music anyway. And I got to cook him my world-famous gumbo ya-ya the other night. Yes.

[ Laughs ] So I guess, as the saying goes, better — better late than never. ‘Cause, uh, standing here today…

[ Knocks ] …With my son on his birthday, I feel just as blessed as I did all them years ago. Ah, forget all that. To curtis. Yeah. Oh, oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before anyone drinks, I have something to add. Uh-oh.

[ Chuckles ] The only thing that gives me more joy than being with my nephew on his birthday is that this year… we are joined by his daughter. Alright. Welcome to the family, trina. Hear, hear. That’s a birthday gift. Amen.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Mm, mm. Now I want to get us our first family picture. Oh, my goodness.

[ Chuckles ] Curtis: Well, alright. Uh, e-excuse me. I need to use the restroom. Is it something I said? Of course I want sasha to heal and not need me to be her guardian anymore. That was always the goal. Look, I’m just saying, was it everyone’s goal? Yes, it was. Hey, um, sorry for making you wait. You ready? Yeah, of course. Good luck, sasha. Thanks. I’ll take it. Gladys, please stop worrying. I’m ready. It’s time I took my life back. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I learn anything new. Thank you, doctor. Oh, god. I got to tell tracy. She’s bringing leo because he won’t stop asking about ned. Poor kid is probably so worried. I didn’t go home last night, and he was alone with tracy, so… I’ll go home and act as a buffer, okay? Thank you, sweetheart. Of course. I appreciate it.

[ Sighs ] Olivia, it’s gonna be okay. Ned is strong. I’m just so grateful that drew was there. You know, if he hadn’t been there, if he hadn’t acted so quickly, I don’t know — I don’t know what would have happened. There isn’t anyone drew wouldn’t help. The hell did you just say? I didn’t say — I-I must have misspoke. I mean, I — no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You just say it, carly. You think it’s kind of ironic that drew saved ned’s life when you think that ned was trying to destroy drew’S. I didn’t, no. You didn’t have to say it, carly. It’s what you’re thinking, right? Even though ned swore that he was not the one that told the sec about your insider trading. It doesn’t matter how I feel about ned. I wanted to be here for you. You know what? You know what? Ned only needs people here who are rooting for him, not people who are against him, alright? I don’t wish ned any harm.

[ Stammers ] Neither does drew. Ned swore to me that he is innocent, and I believed him. So if you’re gonna be here sitting in judgment of my husband while he is in there fighting for his life, you just go. I don’t need you here, okay? This is hard enough for me already. You got it? That’s fair. Hey. Morning, carly. Hey. I was just leaving. Is…there bad news about ned? It’s me. I am sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you. I’ll be praying for you and ned and your whole family. Ma, hey. What the hell was that? You okay? Come on. Hey.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sighs ] I hope you didn’t listen to what sam suggested. I-I am just concerned about you, that’s all. I understand that, gladys, and I know that you feel pressured to do right for me out of obligation to brando. But… it’s starting to feel like you can’t see how far I’ve come. Like at that last home & heart taping. The producers were literally messing with my head, hoping that I would melt down so they could get a pathetic boost for their ratings. But I didn’t freak out. I held it together. And you’re the one who argued against me making that appearance in the first place. I’m starting to feel like you don’t believe in me. No. No. That is not it. Then what is it? Stella, I know you are excited about having trina be part of the family. Hell, you’re — you’re her great-aunt. I’m — I’m her grandfather. I’m excited, too. But we got to do this at trina’s pace, not ours. Ease up. You’re right. I-I am pushing too hard. I just wanted to have the family come together and get over all this hurt between everyone. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. But the situation is still — still delicate. We have to give trina time to want to be with us. I see so much of my sister’s spirit in her. You do, too, don’t you? Yeah, I do.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah. Just kills me that trina will never get a chance to know irene. I’m worried about trina. Well, she just needs a minute. And maybe we should kind of chill on this instant-family kumbaya stuff. Well, I’m with you on that. But she’s on summer break. But living with carly. How much more space could she possibly need? Well, she’s not choosing to live with carly over you. She’s already josslyn’s roommate, so she’s just extending the arrangement over the summer. We got to give her that. What you’re saying makes sense, but it’s — it’s still extremely difficult. I know. It’s gonna take some getting used to for everyone. Maybe you can explain that to aunt stella, except for I think my dad’s already taken care of that. Well, maybe that gives us a chance to talk about us. Curtis, where do we really stand?

[ Laughs ] Oops.

[ Laughs ] Well, this — this is better. How about we, um… let’s order some room service. You want a bloody mary or a mimosa? The only thing you’re drinking is water. You know alcohol isn’t gonna solve your problems. What do you know about my problems? Portia told me about the dna test. Mm. So you know a lot.

[ Sighs ] But you don’t know what it feels like. ‘Cause you didn’t have to wake up finding out that tj wasn’t your son. No. No, I didn’T. One minute I have a daughter, and the next minute I…don’T. And there’s no way for me to get her back.


If they can’t get his swelling in his brain to go down, they’re gonna have to operate. That can be a really dangerous surgery. I know. And olivia is taking it so hard. Well, I’m — I’m — I’m sure she was really happy to have you there. I-I don’t know about that. I think I made everything worse. What do you mean? Well, I said something that came out wrong, you know, how — how you would risk yourself to save anyone. And she interpreted that to mean that I didn’t want ned to get better and that I think he deserves what’s happening to him. And I don’T. That is not true. No, olivia’s just frantic with worry. She needed a place to vent. You were it, okay? You guys are way too close not to figure this out.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know if we will. I mean, come on. These insider trading charges are looming over everything. And if ned stays in the hospital, our one plan to get out from underneath these sec charges, I mean, that’s not gonna happen. You know that. I’m not counting anything out just yet. Did you find something? I did. On tracy. I made a promise to take care of you, honey. Brando was gone, and you needed help. I want to do right by my son. You have, gladys, and so much more. I would not be doing this if I did not feel ready to take control of my life again. I hope you’re right. Dr. Montague: Sasha gilmore? Yes. I am dr. Damon montague. I’m here to discuss terminating your guardianship. Nice to meet you, dr. Montague. This is my guardian and mother-in-law, gladys corbin. Nice to meet you, ms. Corbin. Will you follow me? Good, ’cause I have a whole list of questions for ya. I’m afraid this visit is only between me and sasha. But I’m — I’m her guardian. I have important insights. And there will be time for that later. Today is only about me getting to know sasha. Shall we? The doctors explained that they are gonna try to bring down the swelling in his brain with diuretics, but, um, if it doesn’t come down fast enough, he’s gonna need to go into surgery. Okay, but it sounds like they’re doing everything they can to avoid that, right? Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. You okay? Yeah. I got to take this. Yeah, yeah. Of course. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Hey, do you want to — do you want to talk about . The only thing that matters right now is ned coming back to us. Honey, even if he doesn’t need surgery, I mean, we don’t know. There could be brain damage. Okay, hey, look, look. There — there could be — there could be so many — ma, stop. I know it’s hard right now in moments of uncertainty to kind of just let your mind go a little wild, but — but just try and stay in the here and now. Okay. Okay? Okay. I know. I know. I just — I was so upset with ned over this stupid sec thing. Stop. Stop. It’s just — look at me, mom. You already told him that you knew he wasn’t responsible for that anonymous tip, okay? Don’t — don’t do that to yourself, please. I’m just thanking god for that. I mean, it’s the only thing that’s making this even slightly tolerable. But I just — I just keep thinking of all the time that we lost. Time we might never get back.

[ Sobbing ] I’m sure it was hard to learn that trina isn’t your biological daughter. But she isn’t gone. You’re still the man who raised her. I’ve seen how much trina loves you. That dna test didn’t change any of that for her. Well…

[ Scoffs ] That’s what I told myself — nothing can break our bond. I think I actually convinced myself that I was prepared for the possibility that she might not be my daughter. But deep down, I was just holding on to the hope that the test would confirm that she was really my daughter. And when it was the opposite… I was crushed. Well, of course you were. And anyone would feel the same. Listen, it’s gonna take some time to process, but the shock will wear off eventually and you and trina will pick right back up where you left off. I’m keeping a brave face up for trina. I don’t want her to worry about me. I mean, she’s not just related to curtis. She’s also related to marshall, stella, tj. I mean…

[ Sighs ] Wow. If trina wants to get to know her real family, I don’t want to get in the way.

You are trina’s real family, too. They all know that. Why won’t you let yourself see it? We’re figuring things out. But we’re not. We’re dancing around the issue, and we’re not really talking about it. We found out that trina is your biological daughter and you missed out on her entire childhood. You must…resent me. I’m not gonna lie. I would have loved to have seen trina grow up. But what’s done is done. I-I’m not gonna let it hold me back, because I still have every moment from here on out to connect with my daughter. And if she’ll have me, I am here for it. I’ll never forgive myself for staying silent as long as I did. Well, you know what? At some point, you just got to forgive and move on. You know, a few weeks ago, I never would have imagined that we would all be here… yeah. …Together.

[ Chuckles ] Is there still hope for us to become a real family? There is.

Trina’s gonna get to know all about irene. You just have to give her some time. You sound so sure. That’s ’cause I am. You just have to stop pushing. All this — all this is new. But once the newness wears off, trina is gonna want to get to know this side of her family. Trust. I don’t know. That girl really loves marcus taggert. And we have to encourage all of that. I’ve gotten to know trina, and I believe that trina really wants to be a part of us, and that is when we’ll be able to tell her all about the family she didn’t have a chance to be with, the family that she has right now. I pray that you’re right. And I will wait patiently for that day to come. You? Patient? Oh. [ Scoffs ] Look, I have been overrun with boys in this family. And now that we finally have a girl, I’m not gonna push her away.

[ Laughs ] Hear, hear. Hey. Hey. Sorry about that. It’s okay, trina. You know, this is, um — this is all new for us, too, so we just got to take it one day at a time. How’s taggert? Well, I saw him last night. He’s doing well. That’s really good to hear. But excuse me for one minute. I want to go check on the cake for later. Okay.

[ Laughs ] If it’s okay with you… can you open this when it’s just us? Sure. Trina was just telling me about her, um, plans for summer, and, well, everything was normal, and, um…

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ] …I started to, um, notice her features that I always thought came from me and, um… how she laughed… like my sister gia… and how she got so… serious when she was thinking like my mom did. And then I realized that, um… none of it was from me or my blood. Everything I thought that made up my daughter came from somebody else. Is it wrong to say that I’m nervous? Of course I want to be independent again, and I do believe that I’m ready. But actually being here, it’s — it’s daunting. Well, it’s my job to take off some of that pressure. I’m here to give my medical opinion to the court so the judge can decide if you’re really ready for this. I read your file. You experienced two traumatic losses and all while living in the public eye. It must have been incredibly difficult. It was definitely a struggle. How would you characterize your relationship with your guardian? I am grateful to gladys. When my husband, brando, died, I was shattered. To lose him so soon after losing liam… I couldn’t get out of bed. And gladys really stepped up for me. I mean, we may have butted heads a few times, but I always know that gladys will have my best interests at heart. Tell me more about your butting heads. I was confronting tracy about trying to convince ned to go to the sec in exchange for me keeping her secret. But that’s when ned came charging into the pool area. Then he tripped and he fell. Ohh! And then naturally, tracy tried to pin it on me, say that I pushed him, but the security cameras covered me. Thank god I insisted on putting those cameras around the pool.

[ Cellphone rings ] That’s what happens when I own the place. That’s right. Hold on. It’s diane. Hey, diane. Really? Wait, wait, wait. Drew is here with me now. Okay, the U.S. Attorney called diane. They want to meet diane and me in their office. Okay, so this is where they make the offer for me to turn against sonny in exchange for dropping the charges against me and drew, right? Probably. Alright. Yeah. Wait. I want you to tell them that I’m not gonna turn against someone I care about to get out of this, okay? Make sure you tell them that. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] That’s very brave. Brave? But I got to ask you. What? Now what? Sam: Hey. Dante: Hey. Everything okay? Yeah. Sorry. It was scout. But, uh, she’s fine. Um, are you okay? Do you need anything? Are you hungry? I’m good. Thank you, honey. Appreciate it. He’s gonna need surgery, isn’t he? No, I was just going over his latest test results. Ned actually turned the corner. He won’t need surgery. Oh! Oh, thank god! Oh! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[ Sobbing ]


How’d it go? It was a good start. I’ll see you soon, sasha. Thank you. Bye. Excuse me. Damon? Gladys, I had no idea that sasha was your daughter-in-law. How surprising to run into you this way. Definitely unexpected. I mean, will you need to recuse yourself from sasha’s case since we know each other? Oh. Why invite questions? My private life has no bearing on my work. Hey, I haven’t seen you at the savoy in a while. Will you be rejoining ms. Wu’s game anytime soon? Sasha isn’t the only one trying to turn over a new leaf.

[ Clears throat ] I made a lot of mistakes in my life.

[ Voice breaking ] I chose… I chose my job over my marriage.

[ Sighs ] I compromised myself in the pursuit of justice, you know, but… …through all of that — through all of that, I always told myself I did one thing perfect. Just one thing perfect. My daughter. And… …to find out none of that was true… you’re wrong. You are what made trina who she is. No one can ever take that away from you. You see, that’s just it.

[ Sniffles ] They already have. I was thinking you never got to receive any of my homemade gifts as a kid. It’s perfect. Thank you. And maybe one day you’ll be able to put a picture of us in it. I think we could do something about that now.

[ Camera clicks ] Come on, zeke. We need to sort this out before you talk to your sister. Hi. Hey. Are you done with your meeting yet? Are you ready to join us at the pool for curtis’ party? I’m still waiting to hear back on some lunch plans. Okay, what’s that look about? Something wrong? I thought I just saw taggert. Like, we didn’t talk, but he didn’t seem well. I’m just glad that someone was there to help him. Now that the swelling is reduced, we’ll prepare to bring ned out of the twilight state. First, we’ll make sure his vitals are stable. Then we’ll bring him out of the anesthesia.

[ Crying ] And then — then he just wakes up and he’ll be okay? As with any head injury, there are a lot of unknowns. Okay. Once ned wakes up, we’ll be able to better assess the extent of his injuries. But we’re cautiously optimistic. Okay. Thanks, tj. Thank you. It’s always a pleasure delivering good news.

[ Both chuckle ] Hey, ma, see? I told you everything’s gonna be okay. Oh, thank god. It’s about time this family had some good news. Well, either ned recovers and gets the sec to drop the charges or we fight like hell in court. But we’d both be putting our freedom on the line and we don’t have to do that. What do you mean? We both don’t have to go down for this. Only one of us does.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you know, something in here has gotta lead us. Abraham partner, he just didn’t disappear off the face of the earth. Don’t worry, man. We’re gonna find him. Won’t stop until we do.

Paulina, I thought you were still in the hospital. No, I was released upon my insistence that my blood pressure would improve as soon as I was outta that damn bed and helping with the search for my husband. Any news? Well, Paulina, we just. Started Combin through all this evidence Salem P just sent us. Oh.

Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Yeah, I know. If you want the case done right, you need black patch on the job. Damn. Abe is always singing your praises. What do we got?

Nothing. You got nothing.

I am honored. And humbly accept this position as your mayor. Woo.

How can this be true

of Salem? Alina said, I said I run an ice cream shop.

What the hell’s going on here? AJ made a mistake. Office ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I aren’t the only ones eating who needs to worry about taking him down. He’d be a fool to not know that. You know, I don’t trust any of my siblings, but Megan, there’s something exceptionally deranged about her.

No arguments here. I mean, EJ and Kristen. They have their limits. Right. But Megan, I don’t think there’s any line she won’t cross in order to get what she wants.

What we talked about, taken Stepan down by any means necessary. Yes, I’m in Wise decision, Mr. Shin, that I’m sure that with your help. My brother is not long for this world. Is that so? So what’s the next step? How soon we’re gonna put this plan in motion?

I’ve gotta go ej, I didn’t see there. Obviously not. Or I doubt you would’ve been standing here in my living room plotting my demise,

like sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Well, Paulina, I wouldn’t exactly say we have nothing. We’re running down every possible lead and none has panned out. Trust me, if it’s in here, we’re gonna find it. Okay. How can I help? What can I do? Well, listen, rave told us that the last person to see Abe in the hospital was a nurse named Whitley King.

That’s right. Uh, that’s right. And I, I talked to her. She said she. She didn’t know anything. Yeah. You feel sure about that? Believe me, I got everything out of Nurse Whitley that I could. She said she saw Abe in his room before he disappeared, and she had no idea what happened to him after that. I am honored and humbly accept this position as your mayor.

Woo.

What the hell? Just doesn’t make any sense.

I guess I, I won’t get any answers until Paulina comes home.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program, body and Soul. All right. Tell me, Cassandra, what is this so-called a, you have up your designer knockoff sleeve. I know the truth. Charlamagne,

what truth is that? That it was you. Who held re’s twin brother thrust against his will?

You know much as I think you’re perfect for me anyway. Sometimes I find myself wishing why I thought I was born into a nice, normal family. How’d you guess? Well, I wish for the same thing, but. Nice and normal. Doesn’t get you mansions all around the world servants. Billions of dollars in assets, all of which I do appreciate.

Mm, so I’ve noticed too bad a constant war with your siblings comes as part of the package. You know what? I don’t want it to be part of the package. So to hell with all the demer shenanigans, the power struggles, the backstabbing me. Overall Demara insanity. I’m done worrying about what my brothers and sisters are planning.

Are you really? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, for tonight. Okay. Well, tonight is a start. Okay, so how would you like to pass the time then? How would I, I, I would like to pass the time by focusing on my beautiful fiance. I like the sound of that.

Lee do when I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I did not expect you to be back so soon, so. How was your visit with father? Oh yeah. You know, it was, um, fine. Fine, huh? Not demoralizing and or infuriating. He sends his love. Mm. And also unsolicited advice about how I need to pick Johnny Demara over Dr. Tri then start settling down and producing grandchildren.

Am I right? He may have said those things. I wasn’t religious thing. Which is always an excellent way to go when it comes. Tohin a k a dear old dad, but enough about him. What was this plan you were talking about? Plan. I heard you on the phone when I walked in. You were asking about some next steps and a big plan, so why don’t you tell me what you’re up to, bro.

Plot in your demise. That’s ridiculous. Who are you talking to? That’s not what you think. Oh, it’s exactly what I think, and I should call the police right now. And tell them what, that you’re violating the terms of your release that you’re intending to commit frat side and should be back behind bars where you belong.

But as you know us to mirrors, we prefer to settle our own scores. And what does that mean? It means, dear sister, that you have greatly underestimated me. If you think that I’m going to be an easy target, you are sadly mistaken, which is why you are finished here, finished pack up your things. I want you out of this house immediately.

You can’t kick me out of this house. Oh, I just did. I have as much right to be here as any of Stefano’s children. Wrong. You have no rights at all where this house is concerned. That’s a lie. It belonged to father. It used to belong to father, but since he’s passing it has changed hands many times. Stefan was in possession of the D before his untimely death, upon which his widow Gabby inherited it.

But once I returned to Salem, I convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage back into my name, meaning I decide whose eyes under this roof. No, that can’t be true. Oh, it’s true. And it’s happening. So instead of darkening my doorstep, why don’t you go and stay with whomever you were conspiring with on that phone,

Molly? Out with it. Let’s hear about this plan of yours. It’s none of your concern, Jing Ween and just because we live together doesn’t give you an all access pass to my personal life. Oh, so it’s a personal plan, not business. Well, now I’m really curious. Just let it go Jinen. Why should I? We both know, I’m gonna find out eventually, especially since I’m just gonna keep hounding you and hounding you, and generally making your life miserable until one day you finally can’t take more, okay?

Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. Yeah, I knew I’d get you to crack. So what is it? What’s this big plan?

I’ve hired a matchmaker.

No worries. You’re so mad. I’m yours.

Yeah, Roman. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. What did he say? Well, he is retracing the officer steps thinking maybe they missed something. But so far no luck. But don’t worry, he’s still working on it. Oh, well it does make me feel better knowing that all the Abe’s best friends are on the case. Listen, it’s just a matter of time before we catch a break.

Oh, I just, I just hate waiting. Ah, I feel so helpless. That is not something that I’m used to. We kinda know better than most what it’s like to worry about someone that you love. Of course you do. If anybody knows what I’m dealing with, this, uh, you two and Roman, you, you thought that your wives are lost to you forever.

Yeah, but they weren’t. And Abe isn’t lost to you either. Paulina, your husband’s coming home to you.

When is she going to be back? Need answers answer me, Charlamagne. How long did you really think that you could keep it a secret? Keep What a secret. Oh, don’t play dumb. I know that you held thrust against his will while the entire town was searching for him. Admit it.

Well answer her Charlamagne.

Hey Bob, did you miss me? Helena? Oh, look at you. I see you watching my show. I knew you were gonna get into Body and Soul.

Oh, you didn’t have to stop it on my account. It’s just getting to the good part. Besides, I have to put away all the groceries before the frozen fish sticks start to haw. Those fish just can wait. You and I need to talk. Oh, that sounds serious. What’s this about? Go for starters. Why the hell didn’t you tell me that?

I was mayor of this town. Mayor, yes. Mayor of Salem. Now, what the hell else are you lying to me about?

I know I’m not the first person dealing with a missing loved one. Oh, dear God. Not knowing where Abraham is, seeing him in my mind’s eyes suffering, terrified, wondering why the hell he hasn’t been rescued yet, Paul? Oh, I guarantee you that wherever it is, he knows for a fact and you, all of us, we’re searching high and low for him, but we’re not gonna give up.

He knows that. And don’t forget, Abe is a very recognizable figure in this town. If he’s lost here in Salem, someone’s gonna recognize him and run him right home, but no one has. So what, what, what are you saying? I mean, if Colin Bedford doesn’t have Abe stashed away somewhere, he hasn’t wandered off, where else could he be?

You got your memory back. No. I was watching your soap opera when they cut in to a press conference of me making an acceptance speech for Salem’s mail race. Press conference now. What the hell’s going on here? You told me that I owned an ice cream shop. You did own an ice cream shop baby, that the, these tapes are 15 years old and you admit I was elected mayor.

Well, yes. Yes. But your time in office was short-lived, and after that you soured on politics and then you opened your ice cream shop, which was very well run, by the way. Well, why was I mayor for only a short time? Well, you know, things happen. What happened? Oh, aim Now answer me, dammit. What happened? Well see.

Once you were elected, your political rival had you impeached for no good reason what it was. My rival, a horrible, horrible man named EJ de.

You don’t have to do this, ej I I. You have it all wrong. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m done with this discussion. I can have Harold pack your bags and put them in the car. I can have them simply thrown on the street. You decide I am not leaving this house. Oh, you won’t go quietly. Fine. I’ll just have security remove you.

Life force. You don’t want to do that. Oh, just when I think you’ve joined us in the modern age. What a matchmaker. Really, what do you think I should do? Uh, have you ever heard of dating apps? They work for everyone else living in this century. I’m sure they do, but the idea of finding love through swiping doesn’t really appeal to me.

Mm. So you decided to hire an old, busy body to find you a girlfriend, someone who understands me and what I’m looking for. Yes. Father talked to you into this, didn’t he? I made my own decisions. Jing, when. And why wait, considering what came in the mail today?

Your final divorce papers? My marriage to Gabby is officially dead. Thanks to the man who killed it.

Oh my God.

I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes. So French, call it the little dad. Oh, not a bad way to go. No. Come here. I just can’t believe we’re here again in this house, in this bed. I’m sorry. It’s not the mess. We, we will reclaim that soon enough. I don’t care what bedroom we’re in, as long as we’re together, out in the open and happy.

Oh, very happy. Very, very happy. And soon we’re gonna be husband and.

What is it? What’s wrong? I dunno. I dunno. I guess I just afraid to let myself be this happy again. The last time we were married, you were taken from me. Happy. Don’t think about that. It’s all in the past. I can’t. I just let it go. I. I cannot not. How do I just not remember that? I, I thought you’d been killed.

I thought that I’d lost you forever. I thought my own life was over. I’m sorry. That like I

we’re here together.

Whatcha thinking?

Stephan, how do you know that something awful isn’t waiting for us around the corner again, because it’s not Gabby, we were given a second chance and we would be fools not to take it. History’s not gonna repeat itself. I promise. I promise when everything I hold dear, nothing or no one will take me away from you again.

Let go of my hand, not until you listen to me. All right, then gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t have you thrown out on your lying murderous as with the rest of the rubbish. Because it is not you. I’m planning to kill you, idiot. It’s.

Hm, A few more of those little deaths. I might experience the real thing. Would you stop? What? Don’t joke like that. I’m serious. We don’t know how strong Jake’s heart is. Don’t stop it. Don’t say that too dark. Isn’t that what you love about me? One of the things, one of the many things. Oh, I love you too. You ready for round three?

All ready? I was gone. For too many years and we have some serious making up to do. Okay, well, how about we move this bucket to the shower, then I like where your head’s at. Tell you what. Why don’t you go into the bathroom, make sure the water’s nice and hot. All cut down in the kitchen, have cook. Fix us a nice romantic dinner on the terrace while we’re done.

Girl could get used to that. That’s the plan. All right. Go.

I’m sorry, Lee. It’s not like I wasn’t expecting it. Still, I’m staying hitting black and white. Can’t be easy. You okay? I live. You win some, you lose some, right?

You know what I gotta say? This feels like progress. My divorce. You accepting your divorce? I mean, you aren’t tearing the room apart. You aren’t blotting some desperate scheme to try and hold onto. Gabby, I’m really proud of you, Lee, for finally moving on.

You want to kill Stephan? What has that brother ever done to you? Well, it’s nothing personal, really nothing personal. Said the Cobra as has swallowed the gerbil. Let’s just say, I wanna shake the table a bit. What the hell does that mean? It means that with Stephan outta the way, Gabby will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company.

So this is about you wanting more of father’s fortune. You are reel that heartless. You would do that to your own flesh and blood. Spare me the melodramatic soliloquy on Demira family loyalty.

Father wasn’t above eating his young, metaphorically speaking. At least I hope. If you think father would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then you didn’t know him at all. And you did Elvis. You think his legacy belongs to you? The little boy who he sied with a buck tooth IMB via Turkey baster. Don’t you dare speak about my mother again.

Oh, get over yourself, junior. Your self righteousness is beginning to bore me. E. Besides what do you care what happens to Stephan? Because he’s my brother and he’s a decent human being. Oh, come on. You two have been fighting for months now. You can’t think he’s that decent. Look the way I see it, Stephan’s untimely death could be good for both of us.

It would help us both. Think about it, EJ with one less Tamara in the picture. There’d be a much bigger slice of lip pie for you and I, right? Father,

we believe that someone other than Bedford is holding you Captain. But who and why? Well, we don’t know yet, but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife with a serious bank account. Well, but if this is about money, why haven’t they contacted me for ransom? Because we’re not sure.

It’s money they’re after. Well then what the hell are you sure about? I’m, because it feels like you’re guessing and my husband’s life is at stake. Oh, whoa, Paul. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just, I, I’m so frustrated. More than frustrated.

I’m losing my mind here. Listen, we understand. Believe me. I know. I know, I know. I know. You’re doing your best. And I know you love Abe too. Well, that’s a fact. We do. It’s just, you know, so hard I going to the worst case scenario. I mean, oh, we know baby. He could, could be. He could be. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

No, no. Okay. I’m not going there. We’ll not go there. I will not. Okay, good. And we won’t either. Now listen, Abe is one of the toughest dudes I know. He is a survivor and wherever he is, he’s gonna survive this too.

You keep calling me a good and honest man. Oh, you are baby. You are a honest day. That’s what they always call you. You know, my memory may not be much, but I know that. Honest. A is someone else. Okay. But you are a great man too. And why was I impeached? Uh, that’s not really something that you usually like to talk about.

I want to talk about it now. Okay. Okay. Well, it was all sparked by your rival EJ Demara. When he, uh, accused you of cheating, and somehow he was able to prove it, so I did cheat. Oh, it, it isn’t that simple. You wanted to win because you wanted to serve the great citizens of Salem. You knew that you were the best man for the job.

I cheated to when? No, no. It was your shady campaign manager who put you up to it? Jennifer Horton. Jennifer Horton. Does that name sound familiar? Vaguely. I, uh, who is she? To me? Just nobody. Nobody that you need to know. Just not a good person. And this, uh, well, my opponent, uh, ej, this character ej, uh, what happened to him?

Well, uh, ej uh, unfortunately is, uh, still the mayor of Salem. In fact, for many, many years, he’s the most popular mayor that we’ve ever had. Even more so than Doug Williams.

This doesn’t feel right. Just doesn’t feel right. Well, why do you say that, baby? Well, I mean every, everything you. You’re telling me about my life. Every bone in my, my body

is telling me it’s different.

Are you okay? Pooky? I, I hate to see you so upset. It just, It’s just jarring seeing yourself on video like that. It, it’s, it, it, I ever try my hand in politics again. I mean, after, after the impeachment. I’m afraid not. It was all so painful that you want to leave that messy world behind you and stick to what you know best.

Ice cream making people happy, right? Oh, you know, maybe losing your memory is not such a bad thing. How do you figure? Well, most people are bogged down by memories of the past and the baggage that they have to carry of all the mistakes that they’ve made and all the pain that they’ve endured. But, but not you, you, you have a clean slate.

You get to start fresh. You have a live in the present. Right, right. Memories. The memories are what we are. Paulina. I mean, I, I don’t even know what kind of man I am without a memory. I. Do you understand? You know what, it is getting late. I better start that dinner. You must be so hungry. Yes, I, I got fish sticks coming up hot soon.

I really am proud of you, Lee. So you keep saying no. Hey, bear is repeating. I mean, when I think of all the crazy things you did to try and keep Gabby around, having stuff brainwashed, uh, using your Demer shares to try and bribe her into staying with you. Okay. Do we have to go down the whole painful list?

Okay. I’m just saying I hated seeing you like that. So obsessed. I wouldn’t say I was obsessed. You wouldn’t really, I mean, Again, you brainwashed a dude. I loved Gabby, and I believe that when you love someone, you fight for them, right? But there’s fighting and then there’s lying, kidnapping, blackmail. Let’s be real here, Lee.

Okay, you, you morphed into this Lovesick maniac that I didn’t even recognize. You lost all perspective where Gabby and Stephan were concerned. You’re exaggerating. Am I? Lee, you are out of control. Hey. It really worried me, which is why I am so relieved that you’re finally over Gabby and you put all of this behind you before you could do something that you couldn’t take back.

So did you make any special requests for our special dinner tonight? Mm, I made all sorts of special requests, but. I’m not telling you what they were. Oh, come on. I know it’s a surprise. You’re such a tease. I know I am. But you love it. I promise. You’re not gonna be disappointed, but you have to wait till we get downstairs to see for yourself.

Take a moment. Ej. Imagine the possibilities. Chad is no longer interested in Demara Enterprises. Tony semi-retired. Happy to globe trot around the world with that vapid wife of his, with Stephan out of the way. Father’s legacy is ours for the taking. Aren’t you forgetting someone? Am I Kristen, you are co-conspirator.

That was her on the phone earlier. Wasn’t it enough with the 20 questions? Are you gonna keep my plans for Stephan to yourself or not? Sorry Megan. I may have done some despicable things in my life, but I’m not going to conspire to kill my own brother. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Oh, look at what you’ve made me do.

I’ve taken up enough of your time. I should leave so you two can concentrate on finding my husband, Paul. Listen, we know how brutal it can be to wait these things out. And you know what? You’re welcome to stay in our guest room if you like. No, no, no, no. Chanel will be waiting for me at home. Make me a promise.

Oh yeah. What’s that? That you will not rest until you find my Abraham. We’re gonna bring him home, Paulina, whatever it takes. And that’s a fact.

Oh, you’ve gotten mad Cassandra. I didn’t have to hold thrust against his will. He was with me because he wanted to be with me the hell he was. How else would have gotten him to stay away from his family for so long? Oh, I’ll tell you how. Because just like his brother, Rhett, he had amnesia.

Well thrust and red hat amnesia. What are the odds of that? You know what? That’s enough of the stories for one date. Why don’t we play a fun game of checkers?

Okay, that is enough. Talk about Gabby for one night. Tell me about this matchmaker. What do you wanna know? Everything. When is she gonna start hooking you up with Salem’s most eligible woman? Well, I just signed up today and like you heard when you walked in, we still need to iron out a plan of action.

Right. And, uh, we know for sure that this matchmaker is solid. How did you find her or him? I just searched matchmakers and the one I chose was well. She has tons of great reviews as in the business, apparently. So then tell me what was said about her and the reviews. I mean, Hmm, let’s see. Well, the one that stood out to me was when it comes to giving her clients their heart’s desire, she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Oh, thank God for these secret passageway. Hey, ej, can’t very well carry you through the front door, so what am I gonna find out? What’s being served? Cook said he’s going to. On the Paris when I heard somebody in there,

it’s weird. I, I could have sworn I heard a voice. Maybe it was you now who, what the hell happened here? You know, these cleaning ladies need to be a little more careful. Spaces worth of fortune. Well, I’m sure EJ has it. Heavily insured. Probably gonna end up making a fortune. Remind me to ask him about that.

Are we gonna stay here crying about broken pottery? Are we gonna go outside to check out that delicious dinner? You plan after you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Thomas: I love being in italy with you, hope. Dreams really do come true.

Liam: You look beautiful.

Hope: Oh, hey. Uh, thanks.

Liam: Are you, uh– you all packed?

Hope: Yeah, pretty much. Are the kids ready?

Liam: Yeah. Um, they kindly request a souvenir from rome, each.

Hope: Hmm. I’ll make sure to bring back something really special for them.

Liam: Yeah. We’re gonna miss you.

Hope: I’m gonna miss you too. So, that means you better have your phone on, because I will be calling you constantly.

Liam: I’m excited for you. This– this fashion preview, I think it’s gonna go great. I think– I think the press is gonna love every single dress. I really do.

Hope: Fingers crossed.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, come on, like, there was no question that the business part of it is just gonna– it’s gonna be amazing. It’s– it’s just, you know, that other noise, that’s–

Hope: Liam.

Liam: You know, I don’t– what do you want me to say? That I’m– I’m not still concerned about thomas going to rome with you?

Ridge: There you go. That voice isn’t getting any better, is it?

Taylor: No, it still sounds like I swallowed a goose.

Ridge: I like you quiet. It’s nice.

Taylor: Okay, do you have your passport?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Huh?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Really?

Ridge: Yes. I do.

Taylor: [ Laughing ] Yes. Okay, good. Oh, my gosh, I’m gonna miss you guys so much. Me, of course, I would love to be with you in rome, but I– I get that this is a business trip.

Thomas: Ah, kind of stinks that you’re not going. Um, I’m gonna miss you, and I know you’re gonna be rooting me on.

Taylor: I am.

Thomas: Oh, oh, no. Oh, no.

[ Thomas laughs ]

Taylor: You know who– who isn’t gonna miss me on this trip? Brooke.

Katie: So, you called out taylor for breaking your girl code, and she’s trying to flip it around on you?

Donna: But she– she deliberately tried to set you up with deacon and hollis.

Katie: So that you’d be distracted when she was making moves on a ridge.

Donna: But that– that’s just so messed up.

Brooke: Well, needless to say our pact is broken. But I did get some clarity from it. I realized that deep in my heart, ridge is the love of my life.

Donna: Well, we could have told you that.

Brooke: Yes, yes.

Katie: But if that’s really what you want, then that’s what will happen. You and ridge will be together.

Donna: And maybe, even sooner than you think.

[ Donna laughing ]

Brooke: Oh, okay. [ Laughs ]

Donna: So, where do you and ridge stand as of now?

Brooke: Well, he’s– he’s being cautious. You know, he’s being protective of himself and his heart, since taylor and i did banish him.

Katie: That break had to happen. You had to end that cycle. You, taylor, you, taylor.

Donna: Yeah, it wasn’t healthy or fair to either one of you.

Brooke: I know that, and ridge knows that. He totally understands. It’s just he’s questioning things. I mean, he’s not even calling me his logan. It’s almost like he’s guarding me and him against any future pain or heartache.

Ridge: You know, brooke has been here almost as long as I am.

Taylor: Yes. I know. I know. She’s an important part of forrester creations. Yeah, she deserves to be going. But you know, the– the timing isn’t in my favor, really. But you know, this isn’t about me. This is about you and all the success that you and hope are gonna have in rome.

Thomas: Well, the line’s solid. And hope and i are going to kill it. And I think these new designs are going to surprise everybody.

Hope: Liam, you know, thomas is my lead designer.

Liam: No, I know, but it’s your baby. It’s your name on the billboard. The whole– this whole trip is about you.

Hope: Liam, if– if you’re this concerned, I mean– I don’t know, maybe– maybe, you should just come.

Liam: What?

Hope: Come with us to rome. You know that feeling of having to rewash I’m not buying that.

Donna: You must feel so disappointed.

Brooke: Taylor claimed she meant no harm.

Katie: Oh, please. I’m not buying that. I mean, it’s obvious that she was trying to set you up with somebody other than ridge.

Brooke: Yeah, she set me up all right.

Donna: I’m sorry, brooke. But you know what? At least now you know who taylor really is.

Katie: Yeah, and now, you can be together with ridge. There’s nothing holding you back.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just, uh– it just feels different. Ridge has put up a wall between us, and uh, he’s deliberately not calling me logan. He says, “brooke.” Says, “hi, brooke.” “How are you, brooke?”

Katie: Oh, my god. Stop that.

Donna: Stop that.

Brooke: Brooke, brooke.

Brooke: I know. It’s weird.

Donna: It sounds so weird coming from ridge.

Brooke: It is, I’ve never heard him say that.

Katie: It sounds like you think he’s given up on love. Is that true?

Brooke: He did say that he has given up on destiny. That he doesn’t believe in that anymore.

Katie: Well, maybe, this trip will change things. Rome is a magical city.

Carter: You’re right about that. But it won’t be magic for me without you by my side.

[ Brooke laughing ] So cute.

Steffy: All right, katie arranged for us to bring some vip swag.

Ridge: Great. I’ll make sure that ends up in the car. I got to pick up my suit from alterations. I’ll be right back.

Taylor: Yes, you do.

Steffy: Hey, mom?

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: This is it.

Taylor: I know. I know. Oh, my gosh, I love you.

Steffy: I love you. I’ll call you when we land.

Taylor: Yes, please do.

Steffy: I love you.

Taylor: I love you too. You’re gonna kill this.

Steffy: Yes, we are.

Thomas: See you over there.

Taylor: Bye! And you. Oh, my gosh, you are– you are getting it done.

Thomas: I’m getting it done.

Taylor: You are. And– and I think this trip is going to be just the first in– in many successes in your career.

Thomas: This isn’t just about me. You’re a part of this too. I mean, you were woven into every fiber of everything I create.

Taylor: Oh, honey. You know, you are doing so much work. So much hard work and… it’s a lifetime journey to commit to healing the way that you are, but you’re doing it.

Thomas: I know. I am. And I promise that I’m gonna keep working just as hard as I have, right? And um, like this trip, obviously, nothing is gonna happen with hope and me.

Taylor: I am not worried about you, okay? That’s all I’m gonna say.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: But I’ll also say that… I am so proud of you. And I’m really looking forward to everything, and all of the good news and all the amazing stuff that you’re gonna tell me.

Thomas: Thanks, mom.

Liam: You want me to come to rome?

Hope: You’re my husband. Is it really that much of a mystery why I would want you there? I mean, do I really need a reason?

Liam: You don’t have to do this. I– I don’t need to– I don’t want to be your chaperone.

Hope: No, that’s not what I meant.

Liam: Hope I– I want you to enjoy yourself over there. I want you to bask in the– in the applause and accolades, and I’m gonna be cheering for you from here in spirit, but you don’t need thomas there and it’s not too late. There are so many ways that you could pull him from this trip.

Carter: I had to get one

Carter: I had to get one last look before I left.

Katie: Are you excited?

Carter: About the trip? Yes. About leaving you? No.

Katie: Well, trust me. If it were up to me, I would take you back to my place and I would lock you in the bedroom and I wouldn’t let you go.

Carter: That is not a terrible idea.

[ Both chuckling ]

Katie: I might get in trouble with some of the higher ups.

Carter: I don’t know. I think I know a guy.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Katie: Seriously. I’m so excited that you’re getting this opportunity, but… I’ll miss you.

Carter: I’m gonna miss you too.

[ Both chuckling ]

Donna: Toss a coin in the trevi fountain from me, okay?

Brooke: Oh, I will. I’ll make an extra wish for you.

Donna: Yeah? And have a fun trip. You know, I have a feeling that rome is gonna change everything for ridge. And his logan.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay.

Donna: You’ll see.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Uh, all right.

Donna: Arrivederci!

Brooke: Ciao!

Donna: Ciao, bella!

Taylor: Hey.

Ridge: Oh, hey. Hey. Hi. Nice to have a moment alone.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am so– so happy for thomas.

Ridge: I am too.

Taylor: Look what he is doing, what he’s done, the changes he’s made.

Ridge: You’re responsible for most of that.

Taylor: I can’t take all the credit, but thank you. Yeah, I don’t– I don’t want you to lose faith in me. And I know it’s tricky right now with all the– the brooke drama.

Ridge: Let’s not get into that again.

Taylor: Okay, first of all, we haven’t gotten into it at all. We haven’t talked about it. But I will say this, I– I pulled a fast one on you the other day and I– I– I wasn’t trying to–

Ridge: I know you weren’T. And look, I’m– brooke will come around, eventually.

Taylor: I don’t think that she will ever own her part of this whole situation. She’s going to continue a smear campaign on me while you’re in italy. I know– I know that. But just remember the source. That’s all I ask.

[ Taylor chuckling ] Because– oh, damn it, I love you. And I will always love you. I mean, if you weren’t so devastatingly handsome–

Ridge: I know, it’s a lot.

Taylor: Incredibly charming. All of this.

Ridge: How does he do it?

Taylor: I don’t know. And it makes you a– a hard man to shake, ridge forrester.

Hope: I can’t force thomas not to go.

Liam: Literally, everyone would understand, given the history.

Hope: Not in the 11th hour now. Not when the– the schedule has been set. The invites have gone out, the press release. I mean, this– it– plans have been solidified.

Liam: It wasn’t the 11th hour the first time I asked, and plans can absolutely change. It’s not the end of the world if thomas doesn’t go. What matters is that all these people are there to see you because it’s your line, right? You’re the face of it. You– you understand that, don’t you?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Okay, so, please, please? Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just… doesn’t feel right.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I– I have to get to the airport. I’m holding people up.

Liam: I know. I know. But please, can we just like, wrap this up before that? Because the jet will wait for you.

Hope: Liam, I know what you’re asking me to do and I’m telling you I can’T. I can’t tell thomas not to come.

Liam: That’s not true. It is not absolutely necessary for thomas to physically be there in person.

Hope: I am already stressed enough as it is.

Hope: Having to leave you, having to leave the kids…

Liam: I know, I know and I’m sorry.

Hope: …Trying to make everybody happy.

Liam: I get it. I’m sorry about that.

Hope: If you don’t want to come, then you’re going to have to find a way to accept the fact that thomas is going to be there. He’s the lead designer of the hope for the future line. That is it. It is just a business trip. Nothing more.

Hope: Okay, um… really didn’t want to leave like this. I love you and um, I do have to get to the airport. So, I’m just gonna go. Um, and yeah, I’ll see you when I get back.

Brooke: Away we go.

Pilot: Welcome aboard.

Ridge: Well, we got half a group anyway, right?

Steffy: We’re just waiting on hope and thomas.

Pilot: Not a problem. Not a problem.

Carter: Thank you.

Brooke: This is exciting, isn’t it?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Tomorrow, we’re gonna wake up in glorious rome.

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: We have an amazing local crew in place. You know, the catering, the– the permits, all set, you name it, it’s done.

Ridge: I’m so glad you were born, carter.

Steffy: Most organized man on the planet.

Ridge: Yes, he is. And on time, unlike your brother.

Brooke: I just uh, texted hope and she hasn’t gotten back to me.

Steffy: I wonder where hope and thomas could be.

Liam: Hey! What the hell is going on here?

Steffy: I’m sorry, liam. I don’t want to hurt you, but I think your wife has feelings for thomas.

Hope: Liam, I don’t want to hurt you, but thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Please.  Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just doesn’t feel right.

Carter: There he is.

Ridge: The man of the hour.

Steffy: Nice of you to join us.

Thomas: I have no idea how you didn’t get stuck in that traffic.

Ridge: All right, can’t leave without hope, anyway.

Brooke: Well, she’s coming. She texted me a moment ago, said she should be here any minute.

Steffy: Can’t imagine hope’s goodbye to liam was nice and easy.

Carter: Oh, and I have another interview for you with an outlet from milan.

Brooke: Grazie mille.

Carter: Nessun problema.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Look at the two of you, ready for italy.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, the question is, is italy ready for us?

Carter: Hmm.

Ridge: We’ll see.

[ All chuckling ]

Thomas: Does anybody want a water?

Ridge: I’ll take one.

Hope: Sorry. Sorry, I’m late, I got held up.

Brooke: Don’t apologize, honey. The important thing is, that you made it here safely.

Pilot: Okay, everyone is here, and accounted for. Everybody, please, buckle up your seat belts, we will be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Sweetheart, are you okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Brooke: Yeah? I mean, everything’s okay with you and liam?

Hope: Well, everything is under control, okay?

Brooke: Okay.

Hope: It’s all fine. You’ll see. Rome is going to be incredible.

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

 

Y&R logo

Recap written by Terry

Although there’s no official police statement that Faith has been kidnapped, a hysterical and horrified Sharon knows it in her heart. Chance, who is guarding Sharon, tries to give her some hope, but a colleague calls Chance with the news that Faith was not on the flight back to college. Sharon is completely devastated at the thought of Cameron having Faith and is unaware that Nick’s been arrested.

Nikki and Victor, who also don’t know about the kidnapping, talk about how to deal with Cameron, and also how to deal with Nate. Victoria’s idea of Nick taking a leave of absence because he’s in jail is unacceptable to Victor and Nikki. Nikki asks Victoria if she would give Nick’s job to Nate. Victoria says that if Nick left the company permanently, she would consider giving the Chief Operating Office job to Nate. Later, Victor witnesses Nate and Audra scheming about how Nick’s leave of absence could be an opening that Nate could take advantage of; Audra could then take Nate’s job at Newman media, which is her current goal. Nate and Audra raise their glasses to the plan while Victor looks on.

A furious Nick regretfully acknowledges to Micheal that the police arresting him is Cameron’s plan to get him out of the way so that Cameron can get to Sharon. Micheal says that Cameron anticipated Nick’s fury and used it against him when he stormed into Cameron’s hotel room and punched the wall. Michael reassures an imprisoned Nick that Sharon and Faith are safe, with so many people protecting them.

Phyllis contacts Summer and adamantly forbids her from doing anything else to get Phyllis back to town. She also urges Daniel to protect Summer. Summer informs Michael about her plan to get Phyllis back to town. Michael vehemently disagrees, but later acknowledges that the EMT could be a critical part of the puzzle. He thinks it’s a long shot to find him and get him to co-operate but that Summer should not act on her own. Summer appeals to Grandpa Victor to help her. Victor is hesitant, but agrees after Summer puts on her best pleading puppy dog eyes that he can’t refuse.

Jack: I love september. Always have. Back to school, leaves on the trees changing, fire in the hearth.

Diane: And now, we’ll have another reason to adore autumn.

Jack: Our wedding.

Diane: Yes. But, do you think kyle and summer will have resolved their problems by then?

Jack: Well, they have managed to weather a number of challenges in the past and survived.

Diane: Yeah. Every hurt leaves a scar.

Jack: Yeah, but that scar tissue is sturdy stuff. It’ll make them stronger. It’ll make them champions. Don’t worry. Look, they– they’re not kids. They can solve their own problems. You and I have to focus on each other. I wanna lavish you with all the love you deserve.

Diane: Hmm. And tonight, you’re all mine all night.

Jack: Just us.

Diane: It’s a deal.

Jack: Oh, damn.

Billy: Hey, there. Just the woman I was looking for.

Chelsea: Ah. Well, if you’re looking for the confused, exhausted type. I’m your girl.

Billy: Well, I was just about to get myself something sweet. I’ll grab you an espresso. I’m looking forward to the movie night. Been looking forward to it all week. You’ll fall asleep on my shoulder and connor and i will keep it down.

Chelsea: Well, that’s the problem. Connor.

Billy: What is the problem?

Chelsea: He’s announced he’s not coming out of his room.

Billy: What?

Chelsea: Yeah. Not for a movie. Not for a trip around the world. Not even for the latest sneakers.

Billy: No movie?

[ Chelsea exhaling ]

Chelsea: No nothing.

Sally: Actually, I’m not.

Adam: I was, uh, talking to the other lady in the room. Wait ’til you see what I’ve got for you. Your old dad’s here to expand your palate. But in order for you to taste the world, you need to eat.

Sally: [ Grunts ] How can I? Nick was just arrested for assaulting that maniac.

Adam: Wha– cameron? Uh, well, that tracks.

Sally: Wait, you’re not surprised?

Adam: Uh, nick can be a punch first, ask questions when you get around to it kinda guy. But you know that already.

Sally: What do I know?

Adam: The whole story. What happened with ashland. And the news article you refused to run in newman media’s publication.

Sally: Well, yeah, I know that.

Adam: Yeah. I’m just saying that nick can be his own worst enemy, even when when there’s a hint of danger surrounding someone he loves, he can take it to an extreme.

Sharon: You promised me that faith would be safe. You swore to me!

Chance: We are doing everything that we can to find her, sharon. I promise.

Sharon: Great. Call me when you find something.

Chance: Whoa! Whoa! Where are you going? Where are you going? Stop. Stop.

Sharon: To find my child!

Chance: We have people out there doing their jobs. Let them do their jobs.

Sharon: No, I have to go. I have to go. I have to go.

Chance: Listen to me. Listen to me, before you go. I cannot imagine how terrified you are right now. And yes, faith does need you, but she needs you to be smart.

Sharon: I know. I know. I am. I am.

Chance: Okay, take a breath. All right? Think about this. What happens if you run out there without a clue what’s going on and no backup?

Sharon: I put myself in danger.

Chance: Let me do my job. Okay? Trust me.

[ Door opens ]

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: I just made bail. What’s going on?

Sharon: It’s faith. He took her. He took our baby.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: How’d he get his hands on her?

Chance: Look, I know you’re upset but I have no idea.

Nick: Tell me what happened.

Chance: We are trying to piece this together still, man.

Nick: I told you from the beginning, these battery charges were a setup. He knew I would die before I would ever allow him to touch a hair on faith’s head.

Sharon: Nick, it doesn’t matter! We have to find her now!

Nick: How did he even know where she would be?

Chance: I mean, he’s gotta have someone on the inside.

Nick: You think my family had something to do with this?

Chance: Who had access to that information? Who knew she was on that flight?

Sharon: No one. I booked that flight myself today. No one on the outside knew anything about it.

Nick: It was cameron. He was here. He poisoned the cat.

Sharon: You said that he never came into this house, but that cat, remember, never went outside. It was in here the whole time until faith found him dead on the doorstep.

Nick: I know what you did! You hear me? I know what you did. You had me set up so you can grab my kid because you’re not man enough to come out here and face me! So you hurt a defenseless kid and hurt her cat. I will find you. Do you hear me? I’m going to find you! And when I do, there’s not gonna be enough left of you for the cops to arrest. Do you hear me? Are you still listening?

Sharon: Oh, my god. You wanted my attention. You got it. You bring my daughter home, you bastard. You bring her back home!

Jack: Champagne’s on us. Enjoy.

Diane: Yes. We should toast to true love. The kind that never dies.

Ashley: Ugh. So morbid. Sounds like a rotting corpse dragging itself out of the cemetery. You know what I mean?

Diane: No. No. And no one ever does. And yet everyone continues to listen to your opinions.

Tucker: Ugh. How about we switch to a fun little rose from 2000? It’s a little bouncy for my taste, but can’t have everything.

Jack: Some of us can.

Diane: Yeah.

Ashley: I think that’s a great idea, honey. So, we haven’t decided what to toast to.

Tucker: Righting old wrongs.

Jack: Wow. There’s a cherry toast. How about rekindling old flames?

[ Ashley laughing ]

Diane: Hmm.

Ashley: Oh!

Jack: What? What’s so amusing?

Ashley: Oh, well, kinda reminds me when diane burnt down the pool house.

[ Chuckling ] Seriously, she did that to trap a man. I mean, who does that? Well, diane does because she’ll do anything to get what she wants. Right, jack?

Jack: Why would you bring–

Diane: No, no, no. Let’s not let anything spoil our celebration. To the abundance of love that’s found its way into the abbott family. May we all be so lucky.

Jack: Oh, I like that.

Diane: Hmm.

Sally: This is an entirely different case than what went down with ashland.

Adam: Show your work.

Sally: Well, he protected his sister from a mad man.

Adam: He protected sharon from a lunatic.

Sally: Who shouldn’t even be out on the streets after all of the crimes he’s committed. And ashland fell. That was an accident.

Adam: And after a round in the ring with nick, what befell cameron was probably a left hook.

Sally: Is this a conversation you really wanna be having with a woman whose borderline pre-eclampsia?

Adam: It is all part of the plan to get you to expose and expunge those sticky feelings so we can get to the candy coated core. Lighthearted topics. Eating, for instance.

Sally: I’m still not hungry.

Adam: Okay. Okay. Then we will simply sit here in silence. No, that’s too awkward. Um, we could, let’s see. Let’s see. Ooh, we could listen to an audiobook.

Sally: Oh, that’s fun.

Adam: Well, not me and you. Me and the kid. Ah-ha! Sun tzu’s art of war or machiavelli’s the prince.

Sally: Wow.

Adam: Well, she’s gotta learn somehow. I want our girl to be ready like a warrior.

Sally: Well, she’s ours, so she has no choice.

Adam: Grow up watching her old man work day and night to build mccall from bones to something valuable.

Sally: Why are you working so hard? It’s not like you have to prove anything to yourself or anyone else.

Adam: Well, I’m doing it all for the love of a girl who potentially could be the greatest love of my life.

Sally: Adam–

Adam: Some as of yet, unnamed beauty, who has a mind for business and a heart as big as a kansas cornfield.

Sally: So what’s the plan? Polish mccall until it sparkles, and then you pass it along to connor and the unnamed beauty?

Adam: Ooh, this is the best part. Is once I make it a contender again, I’m gonna take back what’s mine. Newman media.

Sharon: He was here. He found a way into my home. Took my daughter. He took my sense of security. He knows our plans. He knows our fears. And– and we thought we were being so careful.

Chance: With a guy like this it doesn’t matter how cautious you are. He’s probably been planning this for a long time now.

Sharon: He knows what we’re doing. He knows why. And– and we have no information. We still have no idea what he wants.

Nick: I know what he wants. He told me when I confronted him at the athletic club.

Chance: What’d he say?

Nick: He wants sharon. He thinks that he and her belong together and that he’s gonna make her fall in love with him again.

Sharon: I was never in love with him! He is deranged, okay?

Nick: But if he wants sharon–

Chance: He took faith as leverage.

Nick: She’s the bait.

Chance: To get you to him.

[ Chance sighing ] Dispatch. Yeah. Make sure we got cars in between here and the airport, okay? Thank you. All right. I issued an apb on officer swift’s vehicle and a bolo on cameron. We’ll see what that does.

Sharon: Where could he be keeping her? Where is he keeping her?

Chance: Well, if he wants you, he knows he has to be close, right? I mean, he’s still gotta be in the area.

Nick: What should we do?

Chance: Stay put. He’s gonna try to contact you and set up a time and a place to meet, okay?

Sharon: Okay. Where will you be?

Chance: I’m gonna leave some guys on the property, but I wanna go check out his room at the athletic club, see if he left anything behind that might tell us where he is now or what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: Chance, please find our faith. Find her.

[ Sharon sobbing ] (Wheezing)

Tucker: I don’t know. What do you think of this rose?

Ashley: Oh, it’s delightful, honey.

Tucker: All right. Maybe we should serve it at the wedding.

Diane: Don’t stop there. Why don’t you buy the vineyard, become vintners and move far, far away?

Ashley: Oh, we can’t do that. We love genoa city too much, don’t we?

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: We love it here. Could never move. Although, we could probably do some modifications on the house.

Jack: Wait, my house?

Ashley: Our house. Because sometimes it’s a little inconvenient to run into certain people when you just wanna grab a quick snack from the kitchen.

Diane: Certain people?

Ashley: Yeah. I don’t wanna point fingers, but–

Diane: Yeah. Well, what do you propose we do about it? What? Build a wall down the center of the house?

Ashley: How stupid is that building a wall? Come on. No. I mean, a fence would do perfectly fine.

Tucker: Yes.

Jack: Don’t be absurd.

Tucker: No. An electric fence.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: You know what though? The increase in the utility bill makes it impractical.

Ashley: We can’t afford that.

Diane: When will you two stop acting so childish?

Ashley: Oh, maybe when your bus leaves the station out of town.

Jack: Could we just have one evening that doesn’t involve sniping and bickering?

Both: She started it.

Jack: Well, apparently not.

Diane: How can you say this started with me? You’re the one who moved tucker into the house. You’re– you’re the one who started this asinine wedding charade.

Ashley: Why is my wedding asinine and yours is perfectly normal?

Diane: Because you’re about to marry that ass.

Tucker: Wow. Are you gonna let her talk to me like that?

Ashley: Well, she’s not really talking to you. She’s talking about you. And no, I’m not. You know, I could throw this perfectly beautiful glass of rose in your face, but that would be a waste of a very expensive glass. But still I’m somehow tempted to maybe just–

Tucker: Can we get a less expensive rose?

Diane: Oh, really, ashley? I dare you. I dare you.

Ashley: You dare me?

Jack: Calm down!

Abby: What fresh hell is this?

Chelsea: I left a message for sharon. She still hasn’t gotten back to me.

Billy: Well, devil’s advocate, kids go through things. We know that.

Chelsea: Yeah. This just feels different, billy. What if it’s the start of something hereditary, that connor’s gonna have to struggle with his entire life?

Billy: That’s possible, okay? That– that could be true, but we don’t know yet. Okay? So one step at a time. Yeah? I’ll go talk to him.

Chelsea: Oh. Uh, just, uh, I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

Billy: Hmm. I can handle a moody teenager. I was one not that long ago.

Chelsea: Hmm… it’s kinda long ago.

Billy: Okay. Watch yourself. Uh, look, we get along well. Let me go talk to him. And who knows? This might be about some girl he doesn’t wanna talk to his mom about.

Chelsea: That kid would talk to me.

Billy: Let me go upstairs. See what I can do.

Chelsea: You’re quite confident.

Billy: I got this.

Chelsea: Good luck.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Nick: I should have been there. I should have been with faith.

Sharon: Nick, you can not blame yourself.

Nick: I should have driven her to the airport.

Sharon: Well, then he would’ve gotten both of you. Or waited until she was alone someplace else and taken her then. This is not your fault, okay? She had a police escort and that maniac still managed to take her.

Nick: I cannot stop thinking about how bad I’m gonna hurt this guy.

Sharon: All right. Well, we need to focus on the problem. We need to wait for a phone call or some other kind of communication from him.

[ Nick sighing ]

[ Nick sighing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Sally: Nick, are you all right?

Nick: Better now that I get to hear your voice.

Sally: It’s really sweet of you to say. Please tell me everything. What’s going on?

Nick: Well, I got outta jail, so things are working themselves out.

Sally: Are you being vague for medical reasons?

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: It’s like there’s something going on and you don’t wanna tell me. Look, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I am serenity itself.

Nick: Well, I intend to keep it that way.

Sally: Do you know why I was so good at newman media? Because I suffer from fomo. Chronic fear of missing out. I need to know things.

Nick: Well, you’re gonna have to get used to taking a backseat for the next few months. Listen, can you do me a favor? Can you put adam on the phone? I need to talk to him and promise me that you’re gonna take care of yourself until I get there and do it for you.

Sally: I can’t wait. And same to you.

[ Sally sighing ] And for the record, I hate being left in the dark.

Adam: Anyone that’s spent 20 seconds with you will know that. Before you ask, she’s fine. I’ll make sure she eats her veggies. How are things?

Nick: Is this on speaker phone?

Adam: Of course not.

Nick: All right. I need you to pretend like you’re not hearing bad news and definitely keep this to yourself.

Adam: I can do that.

Nick: Cameron has faith. He took my little girl.

Adam: I see. Um, what now?

Nick: I’mma take care of this. That’s what’s now.

Adam: Well, don’t worry about sally. I will take care of her, um, while you handle that issue.

Nick: Thank you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. What are brothers for? Do what you have to do.

Nick: Oh, I will. Count on that.

Diane: You have been attacking me since I came back to genoa city.

Ashley: Who asked you to come back, diane?

Abby: Okay. Wait, wait. Stop. Just stop whatever this is.

Jack: Hey. Look who’s here.

Diane: Hi, honey.

Tucker: Just in time

Abby: For what? World war iii?

Jack: Actually, we were celebrating.

Abby: Oh, is that what you call this? Because it looks like you were trying to resolve this great wedding conflict by attempting to smash each other’s heads in.

Diane: Oh, no. There’s no conflict. Your uncle jack and I were just mulling over the idea of a september wedding.

Ashley: [ Fake coughing ] Oh, no, not september.

Tucker: Yeah, we had our eyes set on august.

Ashley: Yeah. ‘Cause we just, we can’t wait.

Jack: Please put an end to this ruse. You could save face and walk away from the whole thing.

Abby: I think what uncle jack is trying to say is that august just seems so soon.

Tucker: Well, I would marry her tomorrow if she’d have me.

Ashley: Isn’t it tremendous news, jackie? I mean, really, isn’t it? We have a couple months here of just, oh, it’s just gonna be filled with planning and fittings and all the excitement that goes into new beginnings.

Tucker: Oh, I can’t wait.

Ashley: Yeah. Me neither. I can’t wait. I mean, really it’s more than just a wedding though, don’t you think tucker? It’s more of like a wedding experience.

Tucker: Experience.

Ashley: Yeah. And I think– I mean, I hope that the people on your guest list aren’t wedding-ed out after all the events that we have planned. I mean, it’s truly an extravaganza.

Tucker: Extravaganza. Truly.

Diane: Jack, why don’t we find a table closer to the music?

Jack: Excellent idea.

Ashley: Bye.

Abby: You’re children, you know that, right? Worse than children.

Billy: It could have gone better. At least, now I know my sense of humor works better on his mother.

Chelsea: What happened?

Billy: Well, um, I did my best and, uh, he wasn’t really having it. He used homework as an excuse, asked me to shut the door while I was on the other side of it. But he was very polite about it.

Chelsea: What do you think this is?

Billy: I don’t know.

Chelsea: I don’t think this is just the usual dark cloud that’s gonna blow over. I really don’T. I mean, why would it? Between my genetics and adam’s weird self-loathing, me against the world thing, I mean, it’s no wonder this kid wants to lock himself in his bedroom.

Billy: Okay. I’ve known you for a long time. You’ve been many things, but licensed physician, not one.

Chelsea: I’m his mom.

Billy: I know. I get it. And as a parent, you think you know all the right answers. Best thing you can do is love him, continue to support him, and know that sometimes, a professional is the best person to ask about stuff like this.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I’m just gonna tell him, “listen, if you, you know, sprained your ankle, you’d go see a doctor. Depending on your unique genetic makeup, some of us are more prone to sprained ankles than the rest of the world.”

Billy: Look, the best thing he can do to take care of himself is allow the people that love him to help him.

Chelsea: And if sharon can’t help, I will find someone who can.

Billy: Sounds like a plan.

Sharon: You know, when faith was born, they told me she didn’t make it. That never felt right to me. Sometimes, I could feel her out there, like my missing part needing me.

Nick: Then, she was in your arms like cassie predicted.

Sharon: Someone’s been looking out for her. She has a guardian angel.

Nick: She does. Everything about that girl is a miracle

Sharon: From the very beginning. And that’s not gonna end now. Type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Adam: Well, look who, uh, had an appetite after all?

Sally: Oh, it was so good. Where’s it from?

Adam: What?

Sally: Where’s it from? Where’s it from?

Adam: I’m not telling. Don’t look at the address on the receipt. Okay? Guy’s gotta keep a secret. What if I go in there one night and you’ve made it yours and nick’s new favorite spot?

Sally: Well, it was delicious.

Adam: That’s what new york tastes like to me. Stumbling home after a late night, passing all the closed shops and empty taxis, having a grilled cheese while the city comes alive again.

Sally: The grilled cheese is perfect. And that story was distracting in all the right ways. And it’s a good thing that you like late nights and early mornings because I have news. This one is a free spirit.

Adam: Well, I am glad to entertain.

Sally: Just which stomach churning event are you distracting me from? My blood pressure and the baby, or this thing with the guy from nick and sharon’s past and just how serious is it?

Nick: Yes, faith is a miracle. You know what else she is? She’s your daughter. That means she’s a fighter and a survivor. Wherever she is, she’s gonna be okay. She’s gonna come back to us.

Sharon: She still has so much she needs to experience, nick.

Nick: I know that. And she knows she has two parents who will move heaven and earth to bring her back home. Our daughter is made of steel. Do not shed a tear for her. If anything, you feel pity for the bastard who made the mistake of messing with our girl.

Sharon: I wish I had a slice of her strength right now.

Nick: Sharon, that is what’s keeping her going. She knows that she is front and center in your mind. That connection that you have, that love that you have is so strong and real. I need you to dig deep and access that part of your connection. That is what is going to keep her alive.

Sharon: Yeah?

Nick: Yes. We need the sharon that kicked cancer’s ass. That helped our daughter through that terrible car accident and got her through rehab and the kidney transplant.

Sharon: She was so brave then.

Nick: Then and now. We need the mom who studied day and night to get that degree. One I know she sometimes feels like she’s not using. But sharon, it is time for you to do the most important thing you’ve done in a long time. Find our little girl. Get inside his head.

Sharon: I can’t, nick.

Nick: Yes, you can. Yes, you can. You can do this. You know how he thinks. Just take yourself out of the picture, all right? This is just another case study in one of your textbooks. It is suspect versus survivor. Tell me what he’s gonna do next.

Sharon: He’ll play mind games. He’ll try to get inside of her head and get her to believe his lies. That’s what he did with me and he will try the same with her. We’ve gotta find her, nick, before it’s too late.

Jack: I am so sorry. You do not deserve any of this abuse that ashley is heaping on you.

Diane: Oh, your sister doesn’t scare me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go to the ladies. Be right back.

Abby: Uncle jack, what’s going on?

Jack: What’s going on? I am in love about to marry the woman I am meant for. Everything else–

Abby: Could be devastating.

Jack: Okay, abby, what is it you wanna say?

Abby: What is going on with my mom’s behavior? It’s crazy. I mean, she’s saying she’s doing all of this because she’s trying to protect you and jabot from diane’s diabolical designs, but doesn’t it bother you?

Jack: Tell me this. Do you think your mother really wants to expel me from jabot or she just wants me to think that’s what she’s doing?

Abby: Either way, all of this is troublesome. I mean, arguing in public, all of it.

Jack: Well, I’m a man in love. What trouble is it to me? Tucker is exploiting your mother. He’s taking advantage of her. He’s manipulating her. Whether he’s doing it for fun or for profit, I don’t know. But he’s the one who needs the talking to.

Abby: You think so too?

Jack: Oh, if there is some master plan to take over at jabot, tucker is the engineer. And any talk that your mother is making this move to protect the company from diane, that is garbage. This is a power grab. Pure and simple.

Abby: Uncle jack, I–

Jack: It breaks my heart that she is even considering it, but I am unruffled because even if tucker, god forbid marries her, he will never get his hands on jabot. I told myself I was ok with my moderate

Adam: I am not certain I understand your question. Are you asking me if nick and sharon past is a threat or the guy from their past is a threat to you?

Sally: Okay, now I’m confused. Although that’s probably what you were going for, wasn’t it? Look, just answer me this one question. Should I be worried about nick and sharon’s past?

Adam: No.

Sally: Should I be worried about the guy?

Adam: That’s two questions.

Sally: Okay. Adam, look, what are you saying?

Adam: You are not supposed to be worried about anything right now. You know nick would never let anything happen to you.

Sally: There’s something you’re not telling me, I know it. But I am more tired than curious, so I’m just gonna go rest my eyes.

Adam: I support that wholeheartedly. Here, let me help get in there. All cozy and calm while you dream of– of– where is your happy place these days?

Sally: Oh, well, going over color palettes for the job at chancellor-winters.

Adam: You know, the idea is to relax, keep your blood pressure low.

Sally: Is your happy place on a beach, on an island? Or is it taking your private elevator up to the top floor of your building, saying, “good morning, to your assistant and sitting behind your custom made desk?

Adam: You got a point. Go wherever you’re happy. But you have to do it from this room and this bed.

Sally: Mm, wild horses could not drag me away.

Adam: Good. Because I would lose my job.

Sally: Well, you always have mccall.

Adam: Hmm. Oh, that’s just a shiny toy that’s, um, nowhere near what I really want.

Sally: And what is it that you really want?

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Everything.

Sally: Adam, wait, can you do me a favor?

Adam: Anything.

Sally: Will you wake me when nick calls?

Adam: I promise.

Billy: Look, I know this is tough. No parent wants to see their kids struggle, whether it’s a math equation or emotions.

Chelsea: If this were algebra, I’d just hire a tutor.

Billy: There’s no shame in getting help. We know that. And connor is a bright, smart, funny kid. He loves life and he adores his mother. He’s just got some things swirling around in his head right now and it’s clouding his vision. And we’ll do everything we can to make sure that he gets clearheaded again.

Chelsea: Back to the real connor.

Billy: Exactly.

Chelsea: Date night for single parents is supposed to be a lot more fun than this. I promise I’ll make it up to you.

Billy: Any night I get with you is as good as it gets.

[ Abby sighing ]

Abby: Are you so bored now that you don’t have your own company to run that your new hobby is sowing discord?

Tucker: No, abby, the only thing that would leave me bereft is if I were to lose your mother.

Abby: What do you want from diane and uncle jack?

[ Tucker sighing ]

Tucker: Peace. Sincerely. I was hoping to find our own little corner of the world and start something new with your mom.

Abby: Or that could just be something you’re saying to cover your true motives. Do you really think my mom would start over again with you? Of course not. She’s not gonna walk away from her family’s business and you know that. This is just putting you in the perfect position to snatch jabot and make it seem like my mom’s idea.

Tucker: I see. The real thing is that you just don’t trust me.

Abby: No, I don’T.

Tucker: Okay. I’m gonna make her happy, abby.

Abby: You’re gonna break her heart. You always do.

Tucker: You know, abby, I sure hope you’re not teaching that grandson of mine that people can’t change. Hey.

Ashley: Uh-oh. What did I miss?

Abby: Oh, nothing. You know, just a round of getting to know your mom’s former and future husband.

Ashley: Who’s winning?

Abby: I’m not sure yet.

[ Abby scoffing ] I’m gonna pull over and stretch my legs.

AbbO.

Abby: Well, I– I have to go. I have a beautiful little boy to rush home to.

Ashley: Okay.

Jack: Family.

Diane: Where would we be without them?

Ashley: I can think of a few places you’d fit right in.

Abby: Okay. Stop.

Ashley: Sorry.

Abby: Seriously? You’re adults. Act your age. Respect the people around you. Now I am gonna go cuddle the most handsome man in town and I will see you guys later.

Jack: Bye, abby.

Diane: Bye.

Ashley: Very good. Um, I think maybe I wanna go cuddle the handsomest man in town too.

Diane: I think that’s the next thing on my to-do list.

Jack: I think we should get started on that. Do you think we could do what abby asked? Act our age and show a little respect toward each other.

Ashley: Anyway, let’s go.

[ Phone pinging ]

Sharon: No!

Nick: Sharon?

Sharon: No!

Nick: What is it?

Sharon: [ Sobbing ] My baby. Oh, my god, my baby. How could he do this to me? How could he do this?

Nick: When I get my hands on him–

[ Phone pinging ]

Sharon: What? What is it now?

Nick: “Join me where our old love died and a new love can be born. Come alone. Same motel, same room. Some things you can never forget.”

Sharon: It’s the motel room. The motel room where I killed him. I thought I killed him all those years ago, nick. Oh, my god! Oh, my god!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

4:00 AM in Hong Kong. I wonder, I feel like crap. Survived a life consultation with Father and come back to Bills.

And this,

that must be death wrapping out my door.

Close enough. Hello, Mr. Shin. I’m Megan. I know who you are. You’re Megan Hathaway, the one who stole that crystal from me, please. It was never really yours in the first place. And it’s Megan Deira. Yeah. Well it’s great catching up. Not so fast. You and I have important business to discuss.

Yeah. More. There you are. Oh, somebody’s in a good mood. I just got the best news ever. Yeah. My divorce, Lee, it’s final. You are looking at a single woman. Oh, not for long. You hear that? What? What? Wedding bells in the distance of getting closer all the time. Oh, Stephan, I cannot wait to be your wife and I can’t wait to be your dooring husband.

And as Salem’s preeminent power couple, you’ll have the world by the colons. Yes. We’ll, oh, I wouldn’t be so about that.

Oh, hey Eric. Hi. Hey. Any news with Abe? No. Sloan’s brother continues to deny that he’s had any involvement in his disappearance. Sloan believes him. So does Rave. Yeah. Well, I’ll keep praying that they find Abe soon.

Hey, wait,

how are you? How’s everything going? I assume you’re talking about the pregnancy. I mean, EJ and I have a meeting with the Perinatologist tomorrow, you know, specialist for high risk pregnancies. Right. Well, I hope everything works out. That should tell you that you can have e j’s, baby

lady whistleblower can blow it out as whistle. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Sarah and Xander are over for good. There’s no reason to think that that would change.

Okay. You can do this. Funny girl. You can keep Sarah’s pregnancies. See if get easy peasy. Just gotta stay away from Xander. Some just don’t. Okay. Yes, I heard you coming. How did you know it was me? Uh, can’t you see why you’ve got those clo hoppers? I mean, they make a certain flop every step you take and people could hear miles away.

I don’t have particularly big feet. And they certainly don’t flop, do they? No, no, no, no. Don’t do, don’t you come near me. Just, just, just, just please stay the hell away from me.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Displaced. It was only to freak out. Oh, wait, I know exactly why this is happening. You do. Who told you? No one told me. I just know I, you’re still afraid of me because I. Held you captive, disguised as a killer clown. Yes. That’s, that’s why I freaked out when I saw you. Yeah, I understand. Probably having trauma flashbacks, a big flopping clown shoes coming towards you.

I clown feet is exactly right. Boy, I wasn’t wearing CLA shoes when I kidnapped you. It’s true, but you know what? That’s not really important. The important thing is that that is just so far in the past and I’ve forgiven you, and I know you would never, ever do anything like that again. And the only reason that you were driven to do such dastardly deeds is because he wanted to provide for Sarah and what husband wouldn’t wanna provide for his wife.

Huh? Huh uh, ex-wife. Sarah’s your ex-wife. Two are divorced, she is gone and she is never coming back and you two are never getting back together. He’s Bonnie Leon thick. I’m sorry, I really stepped in. I just know that I meant well. Please meant well, but reminded me how much Sarah needs me. Oh, but she doesn’t, I mean, it’s not hate that she feels, I mean, how would I know how she feels now?

E, even if it is hate that she feels that could change. Because you know what? Things can change. You know what they say? Nothing is for certain except for death. And babies of change. Death attacks isn’t change. Right? Those things are definitely certain. Oh yeah. Ooh, glad we’re on the same page. It is hot here.

I’m gonna get going. Okay. Bonnie, if you have forgiven me and you’re not scared of me anymore, Then why did you shriek and run away when I walked in?

Well, there are no guarantees, but a lot has changed since Holly and there have been some major advancements in the treatment of high risk pregnancies like mine, right?

I hope they tell you some really good news tomorrow. I mean, after everything you’ve been through, you really deserve this.

Yeah. I don’t know about deserving it, but I am happy that maybe I get to be a mom again.

Okay. Yeah. You, you take care of yourself. Yeah. You too,

isn’t it? A little too early in the morning for a drink brother. Shouldn’t you be heading to the office? I would like to wine, wine first, if that’s all right with you. Tough morning. Just somewhat intense, but in a good way. We do get a lot of research trying to find the best possible specialist for Nicole and flying in an expert tomorrow, uh, perinatologist, who will hopefully tell us that Nicole will be able to carry out Charles the time well, I really hope it works out for you guys as you are.

Thank you. And the timing could be perfect because by that time you’ll likely be free. You know? Once the little one comes around and you could be a stay at home dad. It’s like a trend now, isn’t it? All my days will be anything but free when this child is born. You see, I’ll be very busy ensuring that my son or daughter inherits the legacy of our father’s company.

So I will be doing everything on my power to stop Salem’s most incompetent couple from leaving it in ruin.

You don’t have the votes to stop us ej, nor do you have the votes to stop me. No. We damn well do because not only do we have each other’s vote we have Kristen. Kristen. Yes, I know you believe you’ve secured her support. I also know how to be quite mercurial mercurial. Fickle tends to turn on a dime, as I’m sure you two have observed, but that notwithstanding, I have secured our other sister’s vote.

So you may have Kristen’s support. For the time being, I most assuredly have Megan’s, I assume you still have eyes and ears of the company, Mr. Shin? I do. So then you are aware of the fact that there is a power struggle brewing, hard to mess trust. You’re here representing ejs interests. I am here representing my own interests.

You see, my little brother Elvis is a sweet boy, but when it comes to being ruthless in cutthroat, he doesn’t batten my league. Well, you must know I’m out at Tamara, so not quite sure you still have a vote, which I promised to Gabby Hernandez. Who is madly in love with my other half-brother Stephan. So you’ve pledged your loyalty to a woman who’s pledged hers to another man, Wiley.

Why are you going to let someone who used you and betrayed you, keep you from getting what you want?

Chloe. Hey. Hey. I hope I’m not interrupting. No, of course not. Come here and of, oh, I’ve missed you, my friend. We have fairly spoken since I left Basic black. Uh, yeah, it’s my bad. I I should have been better at keeping in touch. No, the phone works both ways. How, how are you, how’s it been teaming up with EJ at the mothership?

Oh, well that’s been eventful, in fact. Um, Life in general has been pretty eventful. Mm. Well, now you’ve got my attention. What’s been going on with you? Well, for starters, uh, I’m pregnant.

Hey, hey, how’s your meeting Go with the da. It’s a disaster actually. My brother’s still refusing to plead guilty and trusts out for blood.

He’s facing a lot of time in prison for what he did up on that rooftop. There’s nothing really I can do to help him.

I know what he did was unspeakable to Mayor Carver and Paulina Chanel. But you know, he’s, he’s still, my family’s is the only family I have left. You have me. I’m here for you.

Huh? So now you wanna know why I freaked out when I saw you? Yeah, you totally freaked out on me. I mean, why did you scream at me to get back? Well, because I feel cold coming on and I didn’t want you to catch it. And you know that feeling when you just have the s just going, oh. When was that? Was that sneeze or a cough?

Oh, both. I’m sorry, my nose is running and my throat’s kinda scratchy. Ooh, I should, I should just probably be wearing a, a mask, you know? I don’t wanna infect people with myy germs. Yeah. So, right. Yeah. Look, I was actually looking for a Maggie shirt around upstairs, I think. Okay. You know what? I’m just, I’m just gonna get the long way around.

Understand this. Hey, it’s a good idea. You probably, yeah. Should go.

Oh wow. She’s pregnant. What? She told you she’s pregnant? No, she didn’t tell me. I just got a news alert. A news alert? Yeah. But you just said she told you she was Bonnie, who do you think was pregnant?

I mean, I wish I could have helped him. If I would’ve known what was going on, I could have stepped in. I could have tried to stop him. It’s, you’re here for him now. He’s damn lucky to have you in his corner. This big sis is there for thanks. I’m lucky to have you in my corner.

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole. This baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

When I said someone was pregnant, who did you think I meant? Who? Um, who it was, was the. The person you said was pregnant is who I thought it was. Knew. So you knew that Nicole was pregnant? Nicole, of course I knew. But have lady at Whistleblowers column only just published to the site. She just published on the maybe for.

You, it just published, but I, I just happened to be one of Lady Whistleblower’s premium. I. Subscribers. Mm-hmm. Oh, you’re a little blowy. Ah, that’s me. Not really fond of that name, but uh, then again for 4 99 a month, I get all the dish on Salem’s hot dos before the general public. I see. Yeah. Well, we’re happy to have you.

I’m so glad I approved that revenue stream. Oh, me too. I wouldn’t wanna be in the dark when the next big secret drops. I hate to be the last one to know about that stuff. Right. Yeah. Well, anyway, I really should find Maggie, who’s great, catching up better. What do you have to tell Maggie? Anything juicy? I, well, I don’t think it’s anything that Lady Whistleblower would report on, but Maggie offered me Alex’s job at Titan, but I’m gonna turn her down.

Oh, sander. But I bet that position pays big bucks. It does, but as much as I love Maggie, I, all right. Being my own boss at the Spectator just means so much to me. Ah, I don’t wanna sabotage what’s happening between me and Chloe, between you and Chloe Lane. Do you know any other clothes? Kardashian, but that’s with a K.

Please don’t tell me you and Chloe are an item. Well, I don’t know if I’d use that exact term, but since she’s someone that I greatly admire, I’m happy to say that we are somewhat involved. Somewhat. What does somewhat mean exactly? How involved are you? Two? Wait, I’m sorry. So. You were saying that you cheated on EJ with Eric?

No, no, no. I did not cheat on ej. I just had a a one night stand with Eric, and it was while we were under the influence of those damn hallucinogenic biscuits. So it was just that one time. Yeah. You guys didn’t use birth control? Well, we were higher than kites, Chloe. Oh, so you didn’t know who the baby’s father was, but now you know.

Yes. I had a paternity test done. And I found out that EJ is the father, and it’s such a relief. But now my biggest concern is if I can carry this baby to term, and I know I don’t have to tell you, it’s, it’s been my biggest problem. Right. And if you need me again too, Nicole, I’m here. No, no, Chloe, thank you so much.

But there have been a lot of advances in treatments for high risk pregnancies, so EJ and I are gonna see specialists tomorrow to determine if I can carry this baby myself. Well, that’s so wonderful. I’m, I’m praying that you get good news. Me too. So is EJ happy? He is over the moon and you. Are you in love with ej?

He’s been so good to me. Wow. That does not answer my question Well, that is the best answer that I have for you right now, Chloe. Okay. Well, I know that you said you’re relieved that EJ is the father of your baby because you two are dating and Eric is now with Sloan. But no, no, no. Chloe, please do not go there.

I’ve had a hard enough day as it is, and I, since I already know what you’re gonna ask. No, no. I do not wish, nor have I been wishing that Eric is the baby’s father. What? What is that look? Just makes me think of that line from Hamlet. You know the one that goes, the lady doth protest Too much me thinks.

Eric, when I walked in here before you looked like you had something weighing on you. Oh, please. You’ve been here for me. I wanna be here for you too. Oh, my partners, right?

I ran into Nicole in the square. I see. You know what? Maybe we shouldn’t talk about this. No, no. It’s okay. You don’t have to hide your feelings from me, Eric. Look, I know how disappointed you are. How you wish. You’d have been the father of Nicole’s baby.

I would not put too much stock in Megan. I mean, aside from her being a homicidal mania. Oh, as opposed to Kristen. You mean post to child for rationality and trustworthiness? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Okay. We, we, we both have seen Kristen and Megan put their heads together. You know, they joined forces to get out of prison, so obviously they’re thickest thieves.

So what makes you think they’re gonna stop now and dilute their power by voting separately? Gabby has a point. So ej, maybe it’s time you and I bury the hatchet and not in each other’s backs. So you are suggesting me what? Consolidate power of formal lines. That’s exactly what I’m suggesting for our sisters.

Take both of us down.

I know what it’s like to be slighted, rejected. And to lose the love of one’s life to someone who’s unworthy. Well, that just makes it all the more painful, doesn’t it? So you consider your brother unworthy, my half-brother, please. Birthed by the loaves from Living Aloma

inferior stock. Not to mention that she’s a total psycho. So if I’m reading you right, you’re assuming that my losing Gabby to Stephan and the resulting animosity I therefore harbor towards him and her would motivate me to become entangled in your machinations to take over the company by job. I think he’s got it.

No, not gonna happen. You see when it comes to being ruthless and cutthroat. I don’t batten your league either. Mr. Demara don’t be so modest. Mr. Shen. You see Kristen did fill me in on your own machinations to take over enterprises. How you seduced Gabby? How you brainwashed Stephan? And how you would’ve pulled the plug on him Had Kristen not stopped you?

No. Perhaps the next time that that swine is on death’s door, you won’t be quite so lucky, my son. You seriously considering killing your own brother?

You know, my father was a master chess player, used the game as a metaphor for life and taught me to do the same.

That doesn’t answer my question. I thought that was a rhetorical one. It wasn’t Mr. Shen. I see both of my brothers as kings. Slow moving pieces. Who can move only one step in every direction forward, backward, to the side or diagonally. Whereas I see myself as a queen who is free to move around the board in any direction she chooses.

Mm. But there’s one more queen on the board. Is there not? Gabriela Hernandez. Yes, and I have been watching her moves very closely. Turns out that she’s an emotional queen, isn’t she? She’s hotheaded, high strung one who might be easily knocked off her pants. By the elimination of her king, which is why I’ve come to you.

Now, speaking for myself, I can say that the thought of Hope Brady, with the man that I love leads me to impulses that can only be described as homicidal. So I ask you, Mr. Hin, as you sit here in your sister’s, Modest department. No job, no power. And no love. And then you think of the man that took all of that from you.

Can I safely assume that you might perhaps be feeling burned, humiliated? Would winked and therefore aching for retribution.

Megan is still fixated on Bo Brady and Kristen is obsessed with Brady Black. I doubt that they are in any shape to make any major moves. Hm, wrong. Unlike men, women are excellent multitaskers, and those two are no exception. They can chew gum and walk all over you at the same time. Believe me, the only woman I’m concerned about is the one in this room.

If I’m, again, foolish enough to ally myself with my brother, I know it won’t be long before he throws me over in an attempt to secure said woman my share of power. Okay. Gabby and I have made no secret of our aspirations, but maybe it’s time for the three of us to consider our life balance. Life balance.

What the hell are you talking about? You’re right about me and Stephan. My divorce from Lee just came through and Stephan and I are getting married and you have a new baby on the way. So you are suggesting, I am suggesting that there is more than enough money and power to go around De Marisol. The three of us can find a way to peacefully coexist and eliminate our mutual enemies.

Maybe just, maybe we can all start the next chapter of our lives with a modicum of harmony. What do you say, brother?

So it’s not about Nicole. I just, I really wanted to be a father. But between Judah’s pregnancy termination, and now this, maybe faith is just trying to tell me. It’s not in the cards for me. I don’t believe in fate or destiny or whatever else you wanna call it. And Eric, why isn’t it in the cards for you to have a kid?

Huh? It hasn’t happened just because. It just hasn’t happened. It doesn’t mean it can’t. You’re young, you’re healthy, so why don’t you have a baby with me?

Well, I’m protesting because it’s not helping Chloe, and it’s pretty insensitive too to suggest that I would rather have Eric be the father, especially since I told you he’s not. And, and, and what good does it do to wish otherwise? You are right. I’m sorry my friend. I’m, I’m sorry too. I, I know that you didn’t mean to upset me.

No, I, I didn’t, but you’re right. I was being insensitive. I wasn’t thinking. I look, Eric and Saloon are together now, and EJ and I are together, and EJ is my baby’s father, and I am so grateful. And he’s been nothing but sweet to me and patient. And we are committed to each other and this baby. Well, that’s good.

I’m, I’m happy for the both of you. I’m, I’m praying everything works out. Thank you. And what about you? What about me? I never imagined you working here at The Spectator. Yeah, me neither. But Sander offered me this job and. He doesn’t really take no for an answer,

so you and Sandra are working together and living together Uhhuh, and by the look on your face. Please do not tell me something is going on between the two of you.

Sandra, answer me. How involved are you with Chloe Lane? Why not see you care, Bonnie? Because I’m curious. That’s all. I’m sorry, but I’m not the kind to kiss and tell you kissed. Oh, come on. Spill it. Cat’s outta the bag here. All right. We did share one kiss. Actually, there were three kisses, but I got slapped the first two times.

Oh, so only one kiss where you didn’t get slapped. I’ve already shared too much Bonnie, and to be honest, I don’t really understand why you’re so interested in how many times I kissed Chloe or any other woman. I mean, Why is it with you? What’s going on, Bonnie? All right, I’ll tell you. Okay, Xander, you are making a huge mistake and you need to stop this kissing business with Chloe immediately.

Why? Why? Because of Sarah.

Bonnie, Sarah and I are divorced as you just brought up. She and I were, we’re through. We don’t even talk anymore. That’s beside the point. How is that beside the point, you may not be in touch. All right? But gotta believe me when I tell you, if you get serious with Chloe, it’ll hurt Sarah’s feelings. And you have to believe me when I tell you, Bonnie, that.

Sarah’s doesn’t give a damn what I do. She’s too busy doing whatever with Rex. No. No, she’s not. That’s what I thought meant. I saw her and saw what conditions she what You saw her, her condition. Is she okay? No, she’s fine. She, she’s fine. Yes. I saw her in Chicago when I went to visit Mimi. Okay, well, what’s, what’s the less about her condition?

Oh, I shouldn’t have said condition. I, I, I, men are we, wait, she’s slim. Very slim. Well, she’s not eating. Oh, no. She’s healthy, happy, happy, happy, happy. She, she hasn’t let herself go. Mm-hmm. Hmm. Good. Um. Happy for her that she’s staying fit. Yeah, it’s, it’s always a good thing. Mm-hmm. Well, it’s always a treat.

Catching up with you, Bonnie, but I really should find Maggie now ex I knowand. Really? You have to listen. I understand that you, you’re just trying helpful. But my relationship with Chloe is none of you concerned, and Sarah, she’s in the past. There’s no reason for either of us to give a damn what is.

You may think that right now, right after Sarah has the baby, You both are gonna feel very differently.

You kissed Xander? Well, I kissed him three times, but after the first two times I slapped him. So I’m not sure that those count. Oh God, I can’t believe this. Oh, come on. Listen, I know that he has a history of violence. Deceit. Have you forgotten that he left you in the clutches of a ruthless Mexican drug cartel?

Have you forgotten that? He locked me in a shark cage. He ruined my relationship. My marriage with Eric. I thought if anyone hated Xander as much as I do, it’s you. Okay? Maybe a few weeks ago I would’ve agreed with you, but. You know that people can change and the more that I’ve spent time with him, I’ve just, I’ve discovered that he has his charms.

So I, I, I don’t know what to say. It’s okay. I guess it was a bit audacious of me to suggest that we have a child together. We’ve not even been together that long, but I mean, we do love each other and we’re committed to one another. Why can’t I be the one to give you the child you’ve always wanted? Some slowness isn’t something we just decide in the wake of what happened with Nicole.

This has nothing to do with Nicole. This is about us. Eric, listen to me. I’ve lost both my parents. My brother is about to go away for a very long time. I know family’s important to you. It’s important to me too, but I let all of that get so twisted for, for the wrong reasons, his anger. A hatred, but I’m done with all of that because of you.

Because kindness and your patience, your love God have given me so much. I just, I wanna give you something that you’ve always wanted. Won’t you let me do that for you?

Sloan. I dunno. It just, it feels so, so sudden. Well, it was sudden for EJ too, but I’m sure he is over the moon about it. Yeah, he, he is de flame.

I dunno. I think that you deserve everything in this world. A little precious baby on the way. A blessing. Fiji Damira gets to be a father. Why shouldn’t you?

Well, brother.

Yeah, not interested brother, but if you and Gabby want to give up and go work on your life balance, I’ll be happy to accept your letter of resignation as co c e o of the company. Short of that shall just say that the best of

Gabby did love me once, so if something terrible should happen to Stephan. The vulnerable widow de mera could very likely turn to you for comfort. Even if she did, I moved on from her. I had to.

So you’re telling me that if I gave you the opportunity to get her back, And to get back at my brother at the same time you turn me down.

Think about it, Lee. The next move in my little game could very possibly be yours.

Oh my God, Justin, I almost totally blew it. You know me, I can talk my way out of anything. It wasn’t it very clever of me to come up with the idea that I had a bad cold. Oh. Ooh. Oh no. Oh, no, no, no. I, I think I really am getting sick.

Oh, God. Oh God. Oh God. No. God is punishing me for lying. He is.

Oh, he has his charms. What the hell is that supposed to mean? It means that he’s, he’s kind and he makes me laugh, and he’s a really good cook. Chloe, who cares if he makes you laugh and is a good cook? Zaner is the lowest of Lowe’s, and you know that as well as I do. No, not anymore. Well, that’s because you’re not thinking straight.

Xander is a horrible excuse for a human being. His smug, arrogant, exterior hides all that rotten inside. Oh, come on Nicole. That’s how you really feel. Don’t listen to your friends here. Nicole’s just full of Sarah grapes cuz she had her shot with me and she blew it. Oh, there it is. Stupid arrogance. You know, you really are full of it.

You were just, but her loss, no. Is your game, Chloe. If you’re not going to slap him again, please allow me.

So what do you think? Should we start trying? Not gonna answer me. My answer is, I love you better than I know slow. This isn’t something that we need to rush into and the timing is, Right. You’re still getting a big disappointment. Okay. Well, whenever you are ready to become a father, You know where to find me.

I’ll keep that in mind. You’ll definitely be the first to know.

AJ made a huge mistake. Pop his ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I are the only ones EJ needs to worry about taking him down.

I just left you, Mr. Shin. Miss me already what we talked about, taken Stefan down by any means necessary. Yes. Amen. Why is decision Mr. Shannon. And I’m sure with your help, my brother is not long for this world.
