THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. Are you out of your ever-loving mind? What the hell is wrong with you? Good to see you too. I just talked to Brady and he said, you and Sloan are getting serious. You’re not actually getting in a relationship with that bitch.

Give me those prenatal vitamins. What are you doing with these? I must have picked up the wrong kind. Yeah. Okay. I figured it was something like that. Eric just told me that your childbearing days were over, that you had started menopause.

I’m really glad you stopped by. I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about you too. Oh, um, no, not like that. Well, I mean, I have been thinking about you that way too, but this is about something else. What do you mean? I heard that your sister accused you of a crime. She thinks that you’re the one that’s coming after me.

Scotland Yard has Collins’s Prince on file. Yep. Guys got a record after all. Oh, and guess what? His last name’s not Firth. Surprise. Surprise. Mm-hmm. I can’t thank you enough for coming up. Inspector Fry Cameron Fry. Ooh, it’s nice to meet you Mr. Fry. You know we’re relieved that the Health Department.

Finally decided to send someone. My daughter can’t wait to reopen her bakery. Well, if everything is above board, then there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be more than happy to take care of your daughter.

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

So Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, and it looks like he was booked on assault charges five years ago in London. Bedford, huh? Too bad. The database only has his arrest. We’ll have to find out if he went to trial or if he did any time. Wait a minute. What? I knew I’d heard that name before. Bedford. You have?

Yep. And you’ll never believe where you are. Not going to find anything nasty in this kitchen. Inspector. My daughter keeps it so clean. You’re gonna eat off the floor. I think I’ll pass on that. No, she was beside herself when someone laced her biscuits with drugs. Well, she’s making sure that no one. Ever Tampas with her baked goods again.

And, uh, how is she doing that? Safety procedures. Mm-hmm. Whoever works here, anybody who works here has to know them by heart. I think you’ll find that everything’s up to code. The biscuit dough, where is that stored? Probably in, in the fridge. But I mean, that’s what Chanel told me. We didn’t tell Chanel that this inspection was happening.

We didn’t want her to get her hopes up in case things didn’t go her way. But she’s obviously the only one that knows the hands and outs of this operation, so maybe we should call her. Oh. Oh no. That won’t be necessary. I’ll be able to find everything I need without her. You sure? I am sure you see right now I’d simply prefer to deal with the two of you.

Wait, how? How did you find out, I mean, about Jada accusing me of trucking those biscuits? My mom told me after Jada told her, I guess they were talking about how there aren’t any suspects, but Sloan, I just don’t understand why Jah thinks it’s me. Well, I guess there was something off about the timing of your story, but don’t worry, my mom doesn’t believe it.

She knows that you would never do anything to hurt me, so do I.

Please do not refer to the woman in my life as a bitch, the woman in your life. Okay, so Brady was right? Yes, Brady is right. Wow. And it doesn’t bother you that the woman in your life has caused so much misery since she came to town. Do you know how many people ended up in the emergency room because she drug those biscuits?

Do you have any proof that someone was even near that bakery counselor? No, not yet because she’s an expert at covering her tracks. But it didn’t stop at the biscuit. She. Still threatening Paulina. There’s been a lot of resentment between Paulina and Sloan. Heated words between both sides. Oh God, this is more than heated words.

She’s sending Paulina threatening text messages. Now. Here I’ll show you. Paulina just forwarded these to me. Yep. If you just scroll right there down to the bottom where Sloan says to watch your back because I’m still coming for you. How do you know Sloan Synthes? How do you know this even came from or from?

I don’t because she’s not stupid enough to send it from her phone because you can’t even prove that either. Do you really just wanna turn your back while she escalates her crazy plan? I’m not turning my back. I’ve investigated this in every way possible. And I’m telling you, Sloan has nothing or had nothing to do with Paulina since the civil suit was thrown out.

Well, if it wasn’t Sloan, who was it? I have no idea, bill. It’s not my job to play investigator. Okay, so you’re just gonna take Sloan at her word. God, Eric, I used to think you were reasonably smart about people, not some gullible fool who thinks with this what? You know what? Nevermind. I am too polite to say something.

Yeah, well, I’m not too polite. To tell you, hey, that I’m tired of being battered and insulted. Stop stuff is right now.

Give me those. You’re up in arms of rebuttal of vitamins. Why? Why? Because it’s none of your business. You couldn’t have picked up a wrong kind. Nicole. Those are prescription. Well, there was a lady in front of me in line. Maybe they gave me her prescription by mistake. Yeah, I saw the label. Sweetie, add your name on it or are there too Nicole Walkers around this town?

God forbid. No, those vitamins were prescribed for you. Which means the only change of life you are going through is being pregnant.

You’re not saying anything. Oh my God, you are pregnant. Why would you tell Eric then that you’re going through menopause? Because he’s the baby daddy. No, you’re wrong as usual. Are you denying that you slept with him? Have you forgotten that I walked in on the two of you right after it happened? Yeah, because we ate those biscuits that you drugged.

We were wasted. You really are a piece of work. You know that. Oh, okay. Oh, play. What is that supposed to mean? It means whenever Jada Hunter got pregnant with Eric’s baby, you convinced her to get an abortion. And how did you do that? By asking her, do you really wanna be tied to a man who’s gonna spend the rest of his life with another woman?

That situation isn’t the same as this one. Oh, really? Of course not. Because when other women get pregnant with Eric’s baby, they have to get abortions. But not you. You’re so desperate to get him back that you would trick him into knocking you up for your information. I don’t even know if the baby is his

really. I could hear the two of you bickering all the way down the block. What are you fighting about? Oh, let me guess. It’s about Sloan. Yep. Brady just told me that she and Eric are a couple. So what, so what, huh? Who are you and what have you done with my mother? Like, I don’t like so many more than you do, but Eric was a grown man.

Thank you, mom. I’m not done yet. You know, when I, when I came back alive, what did I find the two of viewed each other’s throats. I had asked you please, to put your differences aside, but no, you couldn’t do that. So this is what I walk into. Listen, mom, you don’t understand. I do understand. I understand that life is way too short for me to be standing here playing the referee to two adults who are behaving like children.

You know, after all we’ve been through, I would’ve thought that, I don’t know, you’d be happy to be together, that we were all alive and a family and together. Maybe I was wrong. If you wanted to make me feel terrible, you’ve succeeded. I wanna talk some sense into you. Please. I know you’re having hard time with Sean, but don’t take it out on your brother.

Mom. Did you come in here for a reason or because you heard us arguing? I came in here to have lunch and enjoy myself. Somehow I’ve lost my appetite. Maybe I’ll just go back to the hospital where people really. Really need my help.

Why would your own sister turn on you like that? If you made a mistake about the time you got in that day, what’s the big deal? But Jada’s just frustrated. She really wants to know the person who did this to you. Okay. Well, it wasn’t you. I remember your first day at the bakery. You said it was the best day you’d had in a long time.

You love your work and you would never do anything to sabotage it. Yeah, but my sister sh, she just has a job to do. She caught me in what she thought was a lie, and then she followed up on it. I can’t believe how nice you’re being about this. Way nicer than I’d be if my sister accused me of committing a crime.

Yeah. Well, it’s over now. Okay, so what’s it matter? It doesn’t. And that is just one of the incredible things about you, how sweet and forgiving you are.

Why do you remember today, Bedford? I went back over the case file from Sloan’s Mother’s death. Her mother’s married name Martha Bedford. So why is Sloan’s name Peterson? Was she married? No, nothing that innocent Sloan just didn’t wanna alert Pauline that she was coming to. Town. So she used her mother’s maiden name, Peterson.

Wow. She really planned this whole thing out. So if Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, is he related to Sloan? Martha Bedford had two children. The other one a son. Huh. We are so relieved, Mr. Fry, that the health department finally saw the light and. And sent you here, especially with this case, still look.

Mm-hmm. Well, it seems like whoever did drive those biscuits staying one step ahead of the cuffs. Um, the thing is, we know who it is, we just haven’t been able to prove it. So who was it? A woman named Sloan Peterson. Oh. She’s been after me and my daughters, and she showed up and. And for no good reason, really heard was for quite a good reason.

But, um, I don’t wanna assume anything but. Since we’re here alone, what would you think if we went to my bedroom? That way, if my mother and stepdad come back, we won’t be interrupted. But also, if you don’t want that, we can stay right here. I don’t know how heartbroken she’s gonna be. I mean, her last relationship was really serious.

And she seems to be moving on just fine. Yeah. Because of you and how irresistibly beautiful you are, her attraction to you is what’s helping her heal so quickly from that last breaker. So why don’t you go back there and finish what you started.

I don’t wanna get interrupted either.

Let’s go to

Colin Bedford has to be Sloan’s brother. That’s why he’s using another name. And he sure didn’t like us finding him at that motel. Yeah. Because he’s the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel and he’s been using my sister to do it. You know, I’m right. And that’s why we couldn’t pin this biscuit thing on Talia because she had no motive.

And now we know. She never had one but her boyfriend did. I beg your pardon? You heard Sloan was after us for a good reason. What good reason is that? I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just something that I read in the papers. What exactly did you re just the, uh, Your daughter pushed Mrs. Peterson’s mother off the roof of a building.

Well, that just proved the paper is just lied. Bus sails. The truth is, what happened was an accident and my daughter did not do one thing to cause it. I see Martha Bedford, Lord Marsh, to that rooftop, and she attacked her because your daughter was having an affair with Mrs. Bedford’s husband. Isn’t that right?

Chanel was seduced by the professor. Professor Bedford was 20 years older than she was. I don’t call that an affair. He knew. She looked up to him and he took advantage. I see. I must be a little fuzzy on the details. Yes you are. Because back when Mrs. Bedford died, you hired a bunch of people to cover it up.

I’m really put us in our place. Me mostly, you know, I was a little defensive. I mean more than a li. It’s only because I came in here guns blazing, and Eric, listen, if I was on my high horse, it’s only because I’m worried about you and I can take care of myself, bill, I know you can, but none of us know Sloan that well or what kind of person she is.

Yeah. Well, I trust my own instincts. In all fairness to you and to everyone who thinks I’ve lost my mind. I know how this looks. Sloan has a history with Chanel and Paulina, and bad things are happening. Really bad things I know, but I’m sorry for those bad things happening. But ABIs like an uncle to me.

And if I thought Sloan had anything to do with Abe’s stepdaughter or his wife, I wouldn’t want to be with her. Okay. So you really believe that she’s innocent, you trust her? Yes, I do. And the more I’ve been with that person, the more I’ve gotten to know the person that she is. And the more that person I know would not do the things she’s been accused of.

Okay, then I will do my damnedest. Not to worry about you,

but you can still worry about me, Sean.

Is he still a wreck after what happened to his dad? Yeah, he just keeps saying over and over how he shot his own father and he is just tortured by it and, and he’s dealing with it all alone. And I, you know, I should have gone to Greece. I should be there with him. I should have cleared my schedule. Can you still go?

I don’t even know how to track him down. He won’t take my calls.

Sorry.

Well, this is why I’ve been so hard on you. I guess I figured if I couldn’t get my own life together, I should come in here and tell you how to live yours.

Then it might not be Eric’s baby. Have you forgotten that? I’m with EJ now. Oh. Oh. You’re just having unprotected sex with the both of them. Oh. Keep your voice down.

Look, you have stuck your nose in my business. And now you know the truth. Do you think it’s remotely possible that you could keep it to yourself? Why would I do that? You actually have to ask. Think about it. Do you really want Eric to know that I’m pregnant? Wouldn’t it make more sense for me to find out one way or another who the baby’s father is?

So if it is ejs and you keep your trap shut, then Eric never has to know that he was even in the running to be the baby’s father.

Okay. I will. I’ll keep your secret.

It is so good to see you. It is so good to see you too.

Sloan, I was so relieved when I found out you were still alive. Eric was in a lot of pain and he thought he’d lost you. I’m sorry that he had to go through that. Well, now that you’re back, we should do something if you and your husband are free, and Eric and myself could take you guys out to dinner some night.

I’ll talk to John. I know it would make Eric very happy to see the two of us getting to know one another. I really do care about your son. He’s a wonderful person.

Well, um, I’ll be on my way and, uh, I’ll be in touch. Sloan.

Oh. I think I’m gonna throw up, Talia said she broke up with Colin. Yeah. But we both know that she’s still in contact with him and she obviously didn’t want us to know that he’s Sloan’s brother. So who knows if anything else you can told us is true.

Wonder if, uh, Collins really got her under his spell, then he can make her do whatever he wants. I mean, you heard her, how she said how he makes her feel about herself. I mean, she was really shaken up. Uh, maybe it was her guilt talking. I wonder if she knows what a bastard he really is. And it’s hard to pull him in for questioning, but we have no idea where he is living since he checked outta that motel.

Yeah. I’m gonna track him down. I wanna talk to Talia first, confront her with what we know and see what she and this guy have been up to. I’m getting an uneasy feeling that you think my daughter is at fault in all of this. Why is that? I don’t care what he read in the tabloids. My stepdaughter is a victim in all of us.

So that’s how you see it. That’s how it is. No charges were ever brought against her or me. You know, the lawsuit that Sonn Peterson brought was thrown out and the jurisdictions in London and here in Salem both decided it’s over. For some people never will be. What does that mean? One, why is this? Sloan Peterson has no legal right to come after Chanel, and if she continues to do so, she’s going to face the consequences.

Damn right.

Look, I know this is a major step for you, so we will only go as far as you want. And if you wanna stop now, then that’s okay too. Babe, you are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel a hole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. No, I want this just as much as you do.

Uh, you’re looking little pale. Should I help you to the restroom? No, no. It’s okay. I just got a little queasy for a minute, but I’m, I’m better now. Okay. Are you, um, are you ill, are you here to see a doctor? No, I just went to the dispensary to pick up a prescription. It’s Sloan that made me wanna puke. I’m sorry, Marlena.

I just can’t stand that woman. Your um, conversation seemed a little tense to me. Were you arguing? Not exactly. She was sticking her nose in something that is none of her business. Hmm. I did overhear her say that she was. Going to keep your secret.

Hey, I heard that nobody knows when or if Bo’s coming out of his coma. Sean must be going through hell yes, and so am I. But it’s still no excuse for me to to treat you like I did. I know I’ve done it to you more than a few times. But I know you were doing it because you were worried about me. Oh, Bella Eric.

Hi, Sloan. Are you having lunch? Uh, no. I just came by to see Eric. He says that you two are very happy together. Congratulations.

I think she turned her phone off. We have to find her. Well, she usually eats lunch at the pub, doesn’t she? Well, she did when the bakery was open, but at least it’s a place to start. Yeah.

Did I come on too strong? No, it’s, it’s me. Okay. I, I can’t do this.

Inspector, I don’t think you understand the magnitude of this situation. Then why don’t you enlighten me? Sloane Peterson, since she came to as Salem has terrorized my family. What happened here in this bakery? It is just the latest in the string of incidents. What kind of incidents? No. She trashed my office for one thing and then the threats started.

The first was a, a note with letters cut out of a magazine, and then I tried to get involved. I spoke to the police commissioner and I tried to reason with Eric Brady. Eric Brady, he’s the man that Sloan is involved with. His family might have been friends ever since Erica was a kid. And right after that, when I got home to Paul Lena, there was another text and this one said, your husband can’t help.

Like someone was watching every move we made, sort of having panic attacks. Oh, oh. The first one was so bad I went to the hospital. I thought it was my heart and, and I’m still getting threats. I just got one the other day. Was that really a threat? Watch your back. I could have just been, uh, a friendly warning.

What did you just say? Just. Whoever sent that text could have been looking out for you. That text, watch your back. That wasn’t in the papers, so how could you possibly know that? Oh my God, are you.

Sloan doesn’t like me anymore than I like her, and she said she would keep my secret just to get under my skin. Oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood, but again, if you, if you wanna talk, I’m always in my office. Thank you, Marena. I, I actually don’t mind telling you. Eric told Sloan something that I told him that I’m in the early stages of menopause, and she just wanted to rub it in my face like it’s something to be embarrassed about.

Well, of course it isn’t, but I, I’m sorry. She upsets you with something so, so personal. And maybe that shows us what kind of woman she is. Anyway, the offer stands, my office and Tammy, you wanna talk? Thank you, Marlena. I will remember that. Please do. Okay.

Am I hallucinating or is Phil actually nice of your snow? Bill’s under a lot of stress and she’s still trying to accept that you and I are together. Will wonders, never sees you got your prescription filled. Um, yeah. Everything go okay at the hospital. What do you mean? Nothing. It’s just that you seem a little off.

Well, actually, I

Jayna. Very clear what’s going on. It’s good you’re here. We need to speak to you. It’s important.

Listen, listen. It’s okay. I meant it when I said I never want you to do anything that you’re not ready for. No. It’s not that, look, I have a confession to make.

Why do you want for honey if you’re here to hurt more accusations that you can’t back up? It’s not about Sloan, it’s about her brother,

baby, can you hear me? Why did you do that? I told you. If your husband couldn’t save you,

[ Relaxing music ]

[ Taylor clearing her throat ]

Taylor: Hey, stop. Come on, deacon. You’re– you’re all about creating new opportunities.

Deacon: Not the kind that you’re talking about.

Taylor: Look around you. Come on. You did all of this. Isn’t it amazing? Changes, just a few little things can make?

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Taylor: Yeah. Come on. You know, you– you– you saw an opportunity, you followed your heart. And now ii giardino is new and exciting.

Deacon: Why do I get the feeling that you’re not talking about my new menu?

Taylor: Okay, well, I kind of am. I’m– I’m– but I’m talking about your– your personal menu. See now that– now that brooke and I have sworn off of ridge, she might be into trying an old favorite again. Could be really great for both of you.

Steffy: Yeah. Dad cast a pretty long shadow in all of our lives.

Rj: It’s definitely pretty hard to ignore, that’s for sure.

Steffy: Yeah. He can be relentless.

Rj: Is that how you became co-ceo?

Steffy: Hey, I’ve had my eye on that chair for a long time, all right?

Rj: And it suits you. My sister, the reigning queen of fashion.

Steffy: Wow. Okay. Don’t let your mom hear you calling me that.

Rj: Oh, come on. She’s not territorial or competitive about stuff like that anymore.

Steffy: Um, you say that, but it kinda sounds like you still want your mom backbo with dad. Is that what you meant, rj?

Sheila: You saved my life. My heart stopped beating. I– I was fading away, but you pulled me back, my son. I can’t thank you enough for that. You couldn’t let me slip away, finn because I know that somewhere deep inside of you, you still love me.

Finn: I told you. I saved your life because that’s what I do. I treated you like any other patient in my emergency room.

Sheila: I know you did, but I really have to believe that somewhere in that big beautiful heart of yours, you haven’t forgotten that I’m your birth mother. That I am the woman that brought you into this world.

Rj: I’m not matchmaking.

Steffy: Good. ‘Cause it never turns out the way you think it will.

Rj: I know. I’m– I’m– you know. I’m not trying to get involved in any of the family drama either. It’s one of the reasons why I was away for so long. I really– I just wanna make sure that my mom’s actually happy.

Steffy: I get that.

Brooke: Rj!

Rj: Hey, mom. How’re you?

Brooke: I didn’t know you were here in the office. Oh, what a wonderful surprise.

Rj: We were, um, we were actually just talking about you a little bit.

Deacon: So you’re telling me that you really think brooke would take me back?

Taylor: You say that like it’s impossible.

Deacon: You know, you and i both know that even if ridge isn’t hanging around, he’s always in the picture.

Taylor: Oh, okay. But things have changed.

Deacon: Yeah. I’ll tell you what’s changed. She’s hanging out with my boy, hollis.

Taylor: They shared a few kisses.

Deacon: Okay. Didn’t know that.

Taylor: Okay. Brooke doesn’t want hollis. She’s made that very clear. She wants to be with someone who knows her. Someone she shares a history with. Can you think of anyone that fits the description? We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Finn: I don’t need to be reminded you’re my birth mother. Oh, by the way, spoke to my dad. Told me you wanted him to get you outta here?

Sheila: I just want another opportunity to show you that I– I can be a good, healthy influence in your life and hayes’.

Finn: After all the horrific things that you have done?

Sheila: I’m still family.

Finn: You shot me, sheila.

Sheila: It was an accident.

Finn: And you tried to kill steffy. You confessed to murder! That’s why you’re in here! And it’s why you’re never getting out. There is no future with us. There’s no role for you to play in my life. This– this is your life now. You are gonna spend the rest of it in a prison cell.

Brooke: Rj, I am touched that my happiness means so much to you.

Rj: I’m sorry. I’m not trying to put you on the spot or anything. I’m just curious. I’m sure steffy is too.

Steffy: No, no, no, no. I– I asked you if you were playing matchmaker. He’s not. Thankfully.

Rj: That is truE. I am not. I just wanna know if, you know, the door is completely closed on the future with dad or not.

Steffy: Okay. There’s my cue to leave.

Brooke: Oh, no. You don’t have to leave. This is your office. I don’t have anything to say about ridge that I wouldn’t share with you.

Steffy: I just feel as though this might be a private conversation between you and rj. Plus, I have to go see finn.

Brooke: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah. I just– he had to take care of something and I just wanna make sure he’s okay. Yeah. All right. Bye.

Rj: Bye. Okay. We’re completely alone. You can be totally honest with me, okay? This whole pact that you made with taylor, do you ever wish that you hadn’t made it?

Taylor: Oh, my god. I– I think that you think that I am trying to take advantage of this situation.

Deacon: Are you? I mean, I thought you and brooke have this agreement.

Taylor: This agreement is why I’m having this conversation with you.

Deacon: Trying to convince me that brooke would give me another shot.

Taylor: Trying to remind you that you miss all the shots you don’t take.

Deacon: I’m just curious why you’re encouraging me.

Taylor: Because brooke’s my friend, and I care about her a lot. And– and she’s never without a guy, you know. I– I–

Deacon: Will you pinky swear that you’re not just using me to distract brooke so you can get to ridge? Come on.

Taylor: I care about ridge.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Taylor: He is the father of my children, but this is not about ridge.

Deacon: Who is it about?

Taylor: Oh, my god. You. Deacon, you. About you living your best life. Getting everything you deserve.

Deacon: With brooke. Postmenopausal women with hr+ her2-

Finn: No more letters. No more email.

Sheila: You don’t even have to respond. I– I’m– I’m hoping that over time you’re gonna understand, you’re gonna realize that I am not your enemy. There’s so much that I have to say. Finn, there’s so much that I want you to know. What– what I felt like when I– I found out that I was pregnant with you. The– the hopes that I had for your future. How I wanted to raise you.

Finn: I came– I came to tell you to leave me and my family alone. I won’t visit you again. This is the last time we’ll ever see each other.

Sheila: No. No, no, finn. Don’t do this to me.

Finn: You did this. You put yourself in this position by your own actions. So use this time, better yourself. Not for me. Prove to yourself that you can be a positive influence on the world, even from a prison cell. Goodbye.

Sheila: No.

Finn: Guard.

Sheila: No, no, no, no, no. Finn, I– I love you. I love you more than anything. This is not over.

Sheila: You’ll see me again. You will see me again.

Brooke: My agreement with taylor isn’t something that I regret.

Rj: And you wouldn’t change it if you could?

Brooke: You weren’t here when my marriage fell apart. Ridge left me to go back to taylor, and then he left her at the altar.

Rj: I know. I know that was– that was painful for you and for taylor. Look, I’m not trying to get you guys back together, mom. I love your independence. I wanna see you happy and satisfied with being on your own. I support that 100%. And if you and dad, you– you choose to move on and to live separate lives, I’ll support that too, but if and only if it’s what you want and you are choosing it for you because it’s gonna make you happy.

Brooke: I told you that I’m happy.

Rj: I know, but come on, mom. I’m your son. You can just talk to me. It’s between us. Don’t you still see dad as your soulmate? You know, your destiny?

Brooke: You know the answer to that, but I made a pact with taylor and I intend to keep it.

Deacon: Is this a therapy session or a pep talk?

Taylor: It is a thera-pep talk.

Deacon: A hybrid thing, okay.

Taylor: That’s exactly what it is. Do you want the psych 101 analysis?

Deacon: Well, you’re gonna give it to me anyway, so let’s hear it.

Taylor: You suffer from low self-esteem.

Deacon: Well, don’t hold back. Thanks.

Taylor: I’m not going to. No, but you know, you beat yourself up for the questionable choices that you’ve made in life or the women that you’ve been with.

Deacon: You don’t even wanna know.

Taylor: No, no, I don’T. But look how you’ve turned your life around. Ii giardino is– is booming. You’re the talk of the town.

Deacon: I mean, it is pretty incredible, isn’t it?

Taylor: It is incredible. And it’s probably unbelievable to you because–

Deacon: The– the low self-esteem.

Taylor: See? You’re a quick study. Wow. You know what? You deserve all of this. You’re– you’re a good guy now. You’re– you’re smart, funny. You’re business savvy. You’re not terrible to look at and you’re somebody that brooke has– has loved. You’re the father of one of her kids. Don’t doubt yourself. Stop wondering what you can bring to the table. You are the damn table.

Deacon: Well, I mean, nothing screams sexy like a table, so got that going for me. The table?

Taylor: Yes. [ Laughs ] This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean.

Steffy: So how was it seeing sheila?

Finn: Like I expected. She thanked me for saving her life. Got all emotional about it. Told her I was just doing my job. But you know, she made it about herself and our relationship.

Steffy: I’m not surprised.

Finn: You don’t need to worry, okay? I made it absolutely clear that sheila will have no part of our life ever again. I just wanna… forget her. You know, like completely.

Sheila: I will be free again. With my son and his family.

Rj: Do you ever think about dad?

Brooke: Oh, yes. Yes. And I’m sure taylor does too. But we’re just not going to fight over him anymore. That is over.

Rj: And you’re– you’re happy about that?

Brooke: Oh, yes.

Rj: And if you and dad never get back together again, you’d be happy with that too? I’m– I’m– I’m not lobbying for a reunion. All I care about is how you feel, okay?

Brooke: My sweet boy. Always looking out for me.

Rj: So you are happy with this pact that you made with taylor?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was a decision that we made together and it was time to move on. I wasn’t coerced or pressured into it. Taylor and I wanna put our friendship first. We wanna put faith in ourselves and in each other. I don’t have any reservations about that. I trust taylor completely.

Deacon: All right. I gotta admit it. You are pretty good at this.

Taylor: I am literally world-renowned, so. You know, I saw the way that your face lit up when you were talking about hope. How much you love her and how proud you are of her.

Deacon: I am so proud of her. I– I– she’s accomplished so much and I just– I can’t believe the woman that she’s become.

Taylor: And you don’t think she’s as proud of you?

Deacon: Yeah, no, I do. I– I– yeah. Yeah. And that means everything to me.

Taylor: Wouldn’t it be cool if you could– if you could put her family back together, you know? I mean, come on. Brooke was the– the great love of your life. You must still love her.

Deacon: I think I’m always gonna love her. I mean, we had some incredible times together. Some of the best of my life. You really think that I got a shot with brooke again?

Taylor: You know, I– I think I do. You’ve set yourself up here, you know, to– to hit the target, but you won’t actually know unless you take the shot. I mean, she– she was in love with you once. She obviously still cares about you. I don’t know, maybe you could just go over to– to visit hope and– and spend time as a family and– and see if there’s anything there.

Deacon: And that opens things up with ridge for you.

Taylor: Oh, god. Look, it’s like you said about brooke. I love ridge. I always will, but… you know, brooke and ridge, they– they’ve been trying to make this destiny thing work for a really long time and it’s never stuck. God, do I wish that things could have been different for ridge and me? Yeah, I do. But they’re not. That doesn’t mean that I’m trying to manipulate the situation for my benefit. What I saw earlier was a– was a sweet spark with you and brooke. I don’t know, maybe there’s an old flame burning in there. An opportunity to turn that into a– a wildfire. And, I don’t know, maybe– maybe have the life you’ve always dreamed about.

Deacon: With brooke?

Taylor: No, the lady at table eight. Yes. With brooke.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Michael: Did you get any sleep last night?

Lauren: Ugh. Barely. I’m just still reeling by what you’ve said to me. Phyllis is still alive? How is that even possible? I mean, do you believe it?

Michael: Daniel was very convincing.

Lauren: You said that he knew something that only phyllis or the police would know?

Michael: True.

Lauren: What was it? Can you tell me?

Michael: He knew that stark had been murdered with a pair of scissors. That isn’t public knowledge.

Lauren: God.

Michael: And daniel has no reason to lie to me. None that I know of.

Lauren: So, who else knows besides jack and kyle?

Michael: And you. I’m hoping that’s it. Jack and kyle need to keep this from diane and and summer, for now. I need to search for more evidence. And I wanted to be able to talk this out with you since I knew you are discreet. And since this whole scenario is frankly insane.

Lauren: Or it’s more treacherous than you’re even thinking about. Because for phyllis to go to these lengths, she could not have done it willingly, could she?

Kyle: Hey, you’re dressed for work?

Summer: Yeah, I figured I had to get back to normal at some point, right?

Kyle: Guess so.

Summer: Thank you for giving me space again last night. My head was exploding from what you told me. And I– I just needed some time to think.

Kyle: I understand. I hope it was just for the one night though ’cause I want to be here for you summer.

Summer: I know.

Kyle: I know you got hit with some shocking news. All I ask is that you talk to me and tell me how you feel about it because if we’re gonna get through this together, you can’t keep shutting me out. I feel like I don’t even know you right now and I don’t know what to do about it.

Nikki: You’re in quite the mood this morning.

Victoria: Yes, I am because of all of the good news you’ve brought me. Nikki: Hm. Why do I get the feeling it has nothing to do with work and everything to do with nate?

[ Nate sighing ]

Audra: Two creams, one sugar.

Nate: Audra, let’s get one thing straight.

Audra: What’s that?

Nate: What the hell were you thinking? Setting up elena that way?

Audra: Uh, excuse me?

Nate: Don’t play coy with me. You sent her to L.A. Knowing she could get her heart broken. What is wrong with you? Lactaid is 100% real milk,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: You might want to rethink that nasty attitude since we’re about to become family.

Ashley: You don’t know the meaning of the word, diane. So, I understand why you’re confused, but we will never be family.

Diane: Uh, jack was ready to marry me in jail. This marriage is definitely going to happen.

Ashley: There’s no explaining stupidity, diane. You’re going back to jail, so don’t think that we’re gonna be having any family time together, okay?

Diane: It won’t ever come to that.

Ashley: Well, you’re delusional as usual.

Diane: We’ll see.

Ashley: What are you talking about? There’s so much evidence against you.

Diane: Then I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Ashley: Why are you so certain?

Diane: Oh, do I seem confident that I’m not going to prison?

Ashley: You do? So, what are you up to?

Diane: I’m not up to anything. I have innocence on my side along with michael, kyle, and jack.

Summer: Kyle, I love you so much. It’s never been my intention to shut you out. It’s just– I don’t know. My mind has been so jumbled. So, if you could just give me a little bit more time.

Kyle: This is hard for me too, summer. Watching you and my mom suffer, feeling powerless to help. I mean, until today I thought you were punishing me for what my mom did, but now we know it was all a set up, so she didn’t actually do anything to phyllis.

Summer: Sorry, do we actually know that? Look I know that my mom is supposedly alive, but there hasn’t been some joyful, miraculous reunion. I don’t– I don’t get to see her or touch her or talk to her. Look, if this is true, then things are gonna get better, right? They have to, but it’s not gonna happen overnight, and right now, I’m sorry, I have to go.

Kyle: Well, let me grab my stuff, we can drive in together.

Summer: No, I have to do something before I go to work. Um, I’ll meet you there.

Victoria: I am well aware of your thoughts on nate. So, why don’t we just fast forward through that? Oh, I have an idea, new topic. How about how dad’s just handed adam an entire kingdom?

Nikki: [ Sighing ] Why do you even care about that?

Victoria: Because it’s going to end in a disaster.

Nikki: Well, so what if it does? It’s no skin off your nose?

Victoria: Mm, I see. So, now you’re rooting for adam.

Nikki: Not at all, but this is important to your father, so why don’t you just let him have it without all the bitter comments?

Victoria: Mccall unlimited would have dovetailed nicely into all of our divisions. I– I just gave up on it too easily. Just let it fall right into adam’s clutches.

Nikki: Oh, my god. You sound more like your father every day. Like it’s not enough to want the world, but you want to conquer everything. And your opponent must lose, as if their losing makes your victory even sweeter.

Victoria: Are we still talking about mccall unlimited? Because if this is about nate, I think maybe I should be offended.

Audra: It was elena’s idea to fly out and confront you. I didn’t send her to los angeles.

Nate: But you made damn sure she knew I wasn’t out there alone. That I was with victoria, even though it was a business trip.

Audra: How was I supposed to know you kept that detail from her? And why did you? Once elena made the decision, who was I to talk her out of it? She was hell bent on finding you.

Nate: Stop trying to justify your actions, audra. You lit the match knowing it would upset her.

Audra: Elena was already suspicious. You’d fallen out of love with her. Oh, don’t deny it. I could read the signs and so could elena. Look, as devastating as this breakup is for her, isn’t it really what’s best for everyone?

Nate: It shouldn’t have gone down like that. She didn’t deserve to be treated this way.

Audra: I suggest you let it go, let her go. Like trust me, elena is gonna be fine without you. You two just weren’t a– a match, that’s all. And even if this thing didn’t happen with victoria, you know, I doubt your girlfriend would have been able to get behind your new vision for the future.

Nate: Which is what exactly?

Audra: You don’t think I figured it out? I know what you’re up to. Newman media isn’t enough, you want his and her thrones running the kingdom alongside victoria.

Are you tired

of washing dishes?

Audra: You’ve done an impressive job so far, making the transition from medicine to business. Still, you know, who would have thought you’d rise this far this fast? And yet, you have. And now, you’re completely in with victoria, personally, as well as professionally, while making it seem like it was the boss lady driving it all along. Hm. Well done, you.

Nate: Are you finished?

Audra: Uh, is there more to the story?

Nate: From my vantage point, yes. You seem to have some facts wrong.

Audra: Enlighten me.

Nate: The way things evolved with victoria was not calculated. We had a connection that just exploded. It took us both by surprise, but it’s strong, audra, and it’s real.

Audra: That sounds lovely.

Nate: Last night, I told her she was the most amazing woman I have ever met and that is the truth.

Audra: Uh, I believe you. Yeah, I’ve seen it, felt it in the room when you were both there. I won’t lie, um, I was a little disappointed at first because I felt an attraction to you from the beginning.

Nate: What? Is that the reason you pushed elena to go to L.A. To come after victoria and me? Did you think if you blew up our relationship, it’d somehow clear a path for you? Nikki: Well, your conscience must be bothering you because I wasn’t thinking of nate at all.

Victoria: Some people say I don’t have a conscience.

Nikki: Well, I know that that’s not true, even though that is the image you like to project. In reality, you are much more considerate than you want people to realize.

Victoria: Just have take your word for that, mom.

Nikki: Okay, I know you don’t want to hear this, but I’m going to say it anyway.

Victoria: I’m sure you are. Go ahead.

Nikki: Have you given any thought at all to elena?

Victoria: You know, I have to get to the office. There’s some things that I need to take care of, but please stay. No rush. Finish your coffee.

Nikki: Victoria–

Victoria no, I insist, mom.

Nikki: Oh, honey, come on.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Lauren: I just keep going back and forth and back and forth with how I feel about all this.

Michael: Which part?

Lauren: Everything. I mean, I’m so thrilled that my best friend could possibly be alive, but how could she do this to us? Why would she do this to us? The way we’ve been grieving, I– I mean, phyllis would never.

Michael: Mm… I wouldn’t be too sure about that. You saw how she was spinning out. She was mad at the world and fighting with everybody and where diane was concerned, please.

Lauren: She was unhinged. And I’m no fan of diane’s, but phyllis could have taken it down a notch or two.

Michael: Ergo, perhaps it’s plausible that phyllis went all out to turn the tables, subject diane to the exact same type of hell she went through.

> Lauren: The perfect revenge.

Michael: It is brilliant, if horrible.

Lauren: I really hope that phyllis is still alive… but to knowingly break our hearts? I mean, how do we come back from this? How does she?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Hey. Thank you for meeting me here. I– I had to see you.

Chance: Yeah, it sounded urgent. What’s going on?

Summer: First of all, I– I know that this sounds crazy. I– I don’t even know what to think about it, but I’m just, I’m wondering if you’ve heard the same rumor that I have? Do I need to be more specific?

Chance: No, christine told me. Daniel saw phyllis alive.

Summer: I mean…

Chance: Look summer, given that this came from jack, someone who has a vested interest and someone who I no longer trust, my initial reaction was that this was just some ploy to get diane off the hook, which pisses me off on your behalf.

Summer: Why for me?

Chance: It’s cruel to give you false hope like that.

Summer: So, you don’t think it’s true?

Chance: You want to know what I think? I think diane didn’t mean to kill your mom. I think something went sideways. A– a mistake was made and here we are. I also think there’s more to this story than what I know and I think it involves jeremy stark somehow.

Summer: It’s definitely complicated.

Chance: Right. But look, this notion about your mother faking her death and trying to frame diane, I think it’s a stretch. I think it’s a scheme cooked up by michael baldwin and your father-in-law and it’s gonna backfire on him. Also, christine is not having any of this and her instincts are usually right.

Summer: I– I can’t even wrap my head around it and trust me, I’m not immediately accepting it as fact. I mean, we were all here. We saw my mom unconscious on the floor, the ambulance crash, the fire, all of that was very real, but I just can’t help but wonder… if it is true and my mom came back, I mean, what would happen to her going forward?

Age-related

macular degeneration

Audra: I won’t deny, I– I would have liked to see where things might have gone with us, but I’m not gonna try to compete with the pull between you and victoria. That could get messy and it’s okay. You know, you can’t always get what you want in this life. At least not all of it.

Nate: I suppose not.

Audra: My ultimate goal is for you to see me as an ally, not an enemy. I want you to have everything your heart desires and I’ll help however I can.

Nate: And you want something in return? I know you’re not being altruistic here. So, we’re helping each other, right? We have to trust each other to get exactly what we want and I know exactly what you want.

Audra: Oh. Success is about give and take. As you move up the ladder and get closer to victoria, there’s gonna be an empty spot at the top of the organization chart at newman media.

Nate: And you’d like to fill it.

Chance: So you want to know what kind of trouble your mom would be in if she was alive?

Summer: Legally, yeah.

Chance: Well, I mean, anything I say would be speculation. You know, I don’t want to mess with your emotions that way.

Summer: I appreciate that chance, but I can handle it. Really, I can. What kind of charges would she be facing? Is there any way that she could come back and not serve time in prison?

Chance: It depends on what evidence she presents.

Summer: Is there anything that you could do to protect her? I mean, if she is out there agonizing over what to do next. She could be on the run or in hiding. She would be afraid to come back, afraid of what would happen to her. And I just, I hate to think about her like that.

Chance: Summer, I understand your urge to play out every possible outcome, I do, but I wish you wouldn’T. I mean, don’t do that to yourself.

Ashley: I don’t care if jack and kyle and the president of the united states are on your side, a jury’s gonna see right through you.

Diane: No jury, no courtroom, no judge.

Ashley: Oh, there will be a trial.

Diane: Mm, don’t think so.

Ashley: What are you basing this on? Your hallucinations?

Diane: No, I’m basing it on… oh, good morning, tucker.

Tucker: Good morning.

Ashley: Thank god, you’re up. Hey, I got an idea, let’s go somewhere.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s a nice day, you want to take a walk?

Ashley: I’d love to.

Tucker: Would you care to join us, diane? Oh, that’s right, your little ankle accessory there. That’s a shame.

Diane: Ah, ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, are you a stand-up comedian now? I mean, don’t tell me that you sold off your life’s work to victor newman just for that new career.

Tucker: What’s with her?

Ashley: I don’t know. She’s very optimistic about her circumstances. Practically dancing on poor phyllis’s grave.

Diane: Poor phyllis. Oh, you have no idea what…

Tucker: No, please finish your thought. I’m fascinated.

Ashley: Yeah. I’m fascinated too.

Diane: Oh, never mind, I’ll keep it to myself. And in the meantime, I’ll look forward to watching you eat some delicious humble pie. Enjoy your walk.

Daniel: Summer.

Summer: Now, I know why you didn’t return any of my phone calls. You were too busy stabbing mom in the back.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: I should have known kyle couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Summer: Thankfully, he has a little bit more respect for me than you do.

Daniel: I respect you too, summer, and I didn’t stab anyone in the back. I took the necessary steps to end this and to protect us all. You’ll notice I found a way to out mom without letting anyone know that you lied. I kept your name out of it, so you’re welcome.

Summer: Daniel, do you have any idea how I’ve had to scramble to make sure that my story matched yours? I told you that we needed to wait until we had a plan that wouldn’t ruin our mom’s life. What did you do? You went straight to jack, the last person that should have known any of this. What the hell were you thinking?

Daniel: That I don’t take orders from you. I get that you’re upset about mom and I know this is making you a wreck because I’m a wreck too, but secrecy isn’t the way to handle this. We need to find her, we need to sort this out and we need to get her legal help or our mother is screwed.

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Nate: Hey, I hope you don’t mind me waiting in here.

Victoria: No, not at all. How are you doing? I know that, um, you’re feeling conflicted about certain things. Is there anything I can do to help?

Nate: You’ve asked me where I’d like things to go between us.

Victoria: Yes, that’s right. Have you had any thoughts about it? (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Victoria: I really wasn’t expecting that.

Nate: I don’t want to be so forward here in your office, but I felt that was necessary.

Victoria: Necessary, how so?

Nate: Last time we saw each other, I kind of hit the brakes, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since then.

Victoria: About?

Nate: You. Us.

Victoria: Any conclusions?

Nate: I broke elena’s heart and I wish I hadn’T. She’s a wonderful woman who didn’t deserve that. But what you and I have, it can’t be denied. It isn’t going anywhere. I’m trying to ignore it. It’s– it’s just impossible.

Victoria: It’s not even remotely possible.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Vic, it’s me.

Michael: I understand you want answers, but first, we have to find phyllis and then bring her home. And given what she’s done and what she’d be facing if she turned herself in, I’m guessing she doesn’t want to be found. Easier just to stay dead.

Lauren: But she hasn’T. If daniel has seen her, she has blown her cover.

Michael: And what if there’s never another sighting or any hard evidence that she’s still amongst the living?

Lauren: Well, then daniel looks unstable and becomes the man who sees his dead mother, which my gosh. As if he hasn’t suffered enough.

Michael: No, no, no, it’s also possible that phyllis is laying low, keeping her options open, trying to think her way out of this. That’s what I’d do.

Lauren: You would never be in this mess.

Michael: Oh, there was a time.

Lauren: That was a long time ago. And you, unlike our dear un-departed friend, you’ve learned from your mistakes.

Michael: Still a work in progress, but I appreciate your faith in me.

Lauren: You know, phyllis has really pulled a lot of outrageous stunts in her life, but this? If and when she ever resurfaces, people are gonna want her head on a platter.

Michael: They’ll get past this. And so will you… eventually.

Lauren: Of course, I will. I want her home. I want her safe and I want her sound. Okay, um, what’s your next move?

Michael: I am mulling over a few options.

Lauren: Well, it better be ingenious because it’s gonna be very hard to find someone as cagey as phyllis.

Victoria: Hi.

Nick: Hi. Is this a bad time?

Victoria: No, come in.

Nate: Thanks for those figures. I will touch base later. Nick.

Nick: Nate. I mean, come on. What is it? Is this office like an aphrodisiac?

Victoria: Come on. The last thing that I need is another lecture from you.

Nick: You just can’t see it, can you?

Victoria: See what?

Nick: He’s playing you, vic. He has taken advantage of your interest in him.

Victoria: Oh, please.

Nick: He uses people and then has no scruples. He’s hurt elena and lily, his entire family. I can smell his ambition from a mile away.

Victoria: I happen to like that he’s ambitious.

Nick: I don’T. It concerns me.

Victoria: Yeah, of course, it concerns you. To you, ambition is like a dirty word. However, for me and nate, it’s– it’s– it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s good, we want more. We want to be the best. You know, newman enterprises is lucky to have people who think that way working for us.

Nick: What are you implying? That I don’t pull my weight around here just because I’m not power-hungry.

Summer: You betrayed me, daniel. What’s worse is that you betrayed our mom.

Daniel: I did no such thing.

Summer: You decided that you knew best and you went to jack and it’s exactly what mom predicted. You didn’t handle anything. You just made it infinitely more complicated. Now, chance and christine know, michael, kyle. Even diane knows.

Daniel: Well, that’s great because I asked jack to keep that to himself.

Summer: Oh, and did you really think that he would listen to you? Why would he? And do you think that mom would even consider coming back with the whole town turning their back on her? Not to mention the position that you’ve put me in having to act all stunned about all this.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, I protected you. I covered up the fact that you had knowledge that could save kyle’s mom and you hid it.

Summer: I really hope that you don’t expect any gratitude from me because what you did was wrong and it was completely unfair.

Kyle: Whoa, whoa guys, calm down. What the hell is going on here? Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Tucker: What was that comment diane made about you eating humble pie?

Ashley: Who knows what goes on in that sick brain of hers? You know, I don’t even care anymore. She thinks she knows something that we don’t and it makes her feel very special and the more I think about it, then I’m just playing into her hand, so let’s not talk about her, please.

Tucker: Deal.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: You want to get a bite after this?

Ashley: Uh, I really kind of have to go to work.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, you really have to do nothing. You have to savor this moment with me because I have an important plan later and we might not get to see each other ’til this evening.

Ashley: Wait, what? You have a plan.

Tucker: Yes, I’m hoping to get permission to watch dom and his music group.

Ashley: That’s your plan?

Tucker: Yes. That’s my one and only calendar item for the day. Got all this free time now, it’s wild.

Ashley: Yeah, sounds pretty wild.

[ Tucker sighing ]

Tucker: I spent so many years working. Working on my company seven days a week.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: Sitting on a mountain top, racing cars. It’s too much work. If I want to know my grandson, it’s got to be now. It’s now or never. Same with devon. Same with you. Proving to you that I’m the man of your dreams, right?

Ashley: Uh-oh, that’s a lot of work.

Tucker: Ah. Yeah. Now, it must be.

Victoria: Your work is fine. I’m not implying anything. You know, it’s not always about you, okay?

Nick: I’m here every damn day working behind the scenes, making sure this company is moving in the right direction. Yeah, it’s not glamorous but I don’t care. I don’t need my name in the press every other day and I’m certainly not the one using the corporate jet to fly out to los angeles for trysts with the employees.

Victoria: That was a legitimate business trip.

Nick: Yeah? Uh, what sort of business was it that elena caught you and nate doing?

Victoria: You know what, are you finished? Because I’m really sick and tired of your self-righteous garbage. Neither one of us is a saint, okay? And this doesn’t involve you, at all.

Nick: I saw elena last night. She’s heartbroken. She’s already packed up and moved out. It’s wrong, vic. What you are doing is wrong on so many levels.

Victoria: Look, I already feel bad enough without you piling on, all right. Yes, I know maybe it wasn’t the smartest idea to pursue someone who wasn’t single, but when I’m around nate, he makes me feel respected and admired. Those things that I no longer felt when I found out that ashland was using me.

Summer: Sorry, I guess finding out about all of this has kind of done a number on me.

Kyle: I hope you’re not blaming daniel for it because if anything was unfair, it was phyllis’s decision not to reach out to both of you.

Daniel: I’m sure she had her reasons.

Kyle: Right. And I’m sure we all know what those reasons were. Your mom didn’t reach out to you because of who you’re married to and who my mother is. So, if you need to blame anyone, blame me, but please do not jump all over daniel because none of this is his fault. What– I… did I miss something? What was that?

Michael: So, my hunch was correct. A little schmoozing goes a long way, nicely done. So after that? Oh, you spoke with the contact I gave you back east. No kidding. Who– which means? No, no, no, you got it. Excellent work, alan. Yeah, I’ll be in touch.

[ Michael humming ]

Lauren: What was that about?

Michael: Uh– uh, my private investigator hit pay dirt. I think this is the big break we’ve been waiting for. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Ashley: How can you tell which one is dominic? You’re shooting the back of their heads. You’re terrible with the camera.

Tucker: That’s him right there on the bongos.

Asley: Oh, yeah, ooh.

Tucker: Look at that technique.

Ashley: Yeah. Quite the cacophony. So, that’s your big plan, huh?

Tucker: Yeah, for today. And maybe tomorrow.

Ashley: I’m very impressed that you can sit through all that.

Tucker: No, but I’ve studied that video with my professional ear, and if you single out dom’s percussion from the two-year-old hacks, you can tell he’s got something special.

Ashley: Yeah, I’m sure he’s the next ringo starr.

Tucker: No, but I– hey, listen, I’m the expert here. At least on this one esoteric thing.

Ashley: Is that humility I’m sensing coming from you? Seriously? Like you’re only an expert on one thing? You?

Tucker: Could be. Don’t tell anyone.

Ashley: So, anyway, I was thinking that maybe when I go back to work and then maybe if you’re done listening to small children banging on objects, if you go back to the house, maybe you just kind of want to slide your things into my room, maybe. What do you think?

Tucker: Move into your room?

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: I don’t know, I kind of like my room.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: I’ll think about it.

Ashley: Okay, you do that.

Nick: You were married to a pathological liar. So, I’m sure nate seems like a, uh, a better choice right now, but he is capable of deception, vic, just like billy was and jt and–

Victoria: Just stop.

Nick: There’s a pattern, vic. Look, I’m your brother and I love you. I need you to see what I see.

Victoria: I’m not gonna discuss this with you or mom. It’s simply no one else’s business.

Nick: Fine. But I will never apologize for worrying about you.

Victoria: Look, my eyes are wide open, I promise. And even if nate did have an agenda, it doesn’t matter because I’m never gonna do anything that I don’t want to do. You just need to trust me on that. And if you can’t trust me, then just keep your thoughts to yourself, all right. I am your sister. I love you. I don’t want to constantly be at odds with you.

Summer: I wasn’t attacking daniel. We’re just upset about our mom. There’s a lot of guilt there.

Kyle: You sure that’s all it was?

Summer: Yeah. Um, can we just go to work? I can’t think about this anymore.

Kyle: I’ll walk you out. Later.

Daniel: Bye.

Kyle: Hey, why didn’t you tell me about you meeting with daniel? I assumed you’d want me here when you talk to him.

Summer: Because it’s between me and daniel.

Kyle: Okay. This is what I mean about shutting me out.

Summer: Kyle.

Kyle: You have a husband who will do whatever he can to help you. Why do you do these things like you’re on your own? Like we’re not together?

Summer: You know, I– I– I’ve got to go. I– I have an errand to run before I go to the office. So just go without me and I’ll– I’ll meet you there later.

Michael: Evidently, stark had initiated the process to collect on phyllis’s life insurance, but he never finished the paperwork. So, clearly he died before he could cash out.

Lauren: But what does that have anything to do with locating phyllis?

Michael: There’s more to it. The P.I. Was able to get the contact information that stark had sent to the insurance company. It’s a local post office box.

Lauren: Well, that doesn’t do you any good.

Michael: No, no, no, never underestimate your husband’s brilliance. After we hit that wall, I pulled a few strings with a friend in D.C. He was able to get the registration of the box. Now, I assumed that would be the grand phoenix, stark’s last abode. Au contraire. It turns out it’s a low-rent motel on the outskirts of genoa city.

Lauren: A perfect place for a supposedly dead woman to disappear for a while. You are brilliant.

Michael: I think jack will love to hear where phyllis might be hiding.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Valentin?

[Soft dramatic music]

“My darling anna, back to work at elq. “But every day I wake up beside you is heaven. Love, valentin.” Mm.

[Knocking on door]

[Chuckles] Sorry about not calling first. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Uh, would it stop you anyway? It hasn’t before. [Chuckles]

No, probably not. Um, I really need your help.

How could i refuse you anything after what you did to bring victor down?

I hope that you mean that because I need a job.

Do you know how much I live for this?

Coffee and croissants?

Quality time with my husband. Mac? Mac, what happened to the romantic man that I married?

I’m sorry. I’ve left about a half a dozen messages for my brother, and robert hasn’t even bothered to text me back.

Well, robert’s had his hands full lately.

With what? Diane, would you mind joining us for a moment?

Of course. What’s it about?

My brother.

I’m expecting something from judge taylor’s office.

Hm.

[Mumbles] No, there’s nothing here marked da scorpio.

Well, then I would expect a degree of initiative at this point, and you can go track it down. It’s important!

Hey, robert. Uh, what’s going on?

I put in for a warrant. It should be here by now.

Oh, well, maybe I can look into that for you. What’s the warrant for?

I’m pursuing a violation of the rico act.

Oh, racketeering, huh?

Well, I prefer to call it enterprise corruption.

Am I familiar with the location of the alleged operation?

You can hardly miss it. Got a big sign above the door which says “the savoy.”

[Cell phone chimes]

Welcome home, stranger. When’s the ticker tape parade in your honor?

The savoy’s closed, and all I want to do this morning is go over last night’s receipts.

So back to normal, is it? I can’t blame you, after what you’ve been through. The invader painted quite the vivid picture. But look at the bright side. You may be rewarded for your heroism, and I don’t mean a key to the city.

Then, what do you mean?

From what I understand, your reward might be a brave and beautiful daughter.

Oh, excuse me? Excuse me. Um, I’ve been wanting to take a dna test for an hour and 15 minutes.

I’m sorry for your wait. It shouldn’t be too much longer.

That’s what you said half an hour ago.

I’m sure that you can find a way to expedite the process. Trina is far too fine a person to mention this, but her mother actually works here at this hospital, dr. Portia robinson.

Look, I’m not looking for any special favors.

But we will take them, if you have them.

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

I don’t need you fighting my battles.

I thought that we agreed that we would fight for each other, back on the “haunted star”?

Good morning, portia. I came as soon as I could. You said that you wanted to talk about trina. Is she ok?

Yes. No, no, no, she’s fine.

Oh, good. I was so relieved that she came through that nightmare in greenland without so much as a scratch.

Yes. Yeah, by some miracle. And that’s why I asked you to meet me here today. I plan on keeping my daughter safe and sound.

Well, I’m all for that. How can I help?

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.

Alexis, please come in. Thank you so much for coming over.

No problem.

I could use all the help I could get right now.

I understand. I brought this for ace.

Aw.

I assume he might be a bit tired after the adventure in greenland?

Oh, no, he’s doing absolutely fine. It’s his mom who’s turning out to be quite a handful.

You don’t say.

[Laughs]

Has her memory come back yet?

Uh, no, no. It’s not about that, not at all.

Mm.

Come on, sit with me. You know, it’s just that… kevin and I have done everything we can to make her feel at home here, you know? And to be honest, I think that spencer has done the same thing. But it’s just– esme?

[Chuckles] Look who stopped by. It’s, uh, ace’s aunt alexis.

Uh, I’m sorry. This is a bad time. Ace and I were just leaving.

Where are you going?

I mean, does it matter? Anywhere but here.

[Dramatic music]

Esme, I -that’s it? -Yeah.


Living in an apartment with four adults and a baby doesn’t afford you much privacy. But you can’t just take off to parts unknown.

Yeah, well, why not? I mean, I have my baby. He’s all that matters to me. Plus the charges that were pending against me have been dropped, so what’s to stop me?

Ok, well to start with, where are you going? And how are you going to get there? Because you don’t have a car. And then, how will you pay for all of it?

I have a trust fund.

Which you don’t have access to. You remember that, right?

Right, because my trustees pulled the plug because of all of the things that people said, that I was a terrible person and so on. But I mean, they can’t keep my money from me forever, can they?

Well, it’s complicated.

But, why? I mean, I’m not the same person who did all of those bad things. So, I mean, they have to give me what’s mine, right?

[Sighs] Yes, esme. But in the meantime, you have to think about your baby, you know? You have to put his needs first. Can you do that?

We were fighting for our lives on the “haunted star.” Now, I’m just trying to take a dna test and make it to my afternoon classes, which I don’t know why it’s taking so long. All I gotta do is swab my cheek, and compare the dna with the dna test results with curtis and my dad. It’s not that big of a deal.

I think if curtis turns out to be your real dad, then yes, it is a big deal.

Correction. If that’s the case, curtis would be my biological father. No matter what that dna test result says, marcus taggert will always be my dad.

Look, I get it. You’re still facing the possibility that you could be curtis ashford’s daughter.

Where did you get the idea that trina and I have–

could be related by blood? It’s not exactly a state secret, especially if one knows people who know people at the gh lab.

Right, your nephew used to work there.

Did he? I have to say, trina robinson is a lovely young woman, also very brave, given everything she’s been through– being arrested, going on trial only to be acquitted. Not to mention the latest adventure you shared on the high seas. To learn that you’re her biological father would be a very happy ending to that story. Or perhaps you don’t want.

Trina thinks of you as such a wonderful mentor.

Well, I’d like to think we’re friends as well.

Mm-hmm. And that’s why I asked you to meet me here this morning. I want to see if maybe you could help me out with trina.

The two of you haven’t patched things up yet, huh?

Well, when she got back from greenland, I got a nice big hug.

[Laughs] And it was wonderful. But, um, after the initial reunion, things are still strained, I would say, between us. So she’s not really likely to listen to me or my input. And I am concerned at some of the choices that trina is making, and I think she’s gonna get into trouble.

Oh, well, I would love to help if I can. What–what choices are you referring to?

The one she made to be with spencer cassadine.

Mac, I’m sorry, but I don’t really keep tabs on robert. Outside of the courtroom, I don’t know what he does.

Well, would you tell me if you spoke with him this morning? I understand you two have been texting a lot with each other lately.

Um–oh! Oh, you mean about, like, a pending case?

Well, yes, of course. What else would I mean?

Why is the da’s office interested in curtis’s nightclub? It’s a legit operation.

I’m not accusing curtis of anything, except maybe a questionable choice of friends, one of them being selina wu.

So selina and curtis are in business together?

Our last venture proved fruitful to us both, did it not?

It certainly did.

Robert. Does the chief know about this?

Where’s my warrant?

I’m sorry, sir. The warrant’s not ready yet.

What kind of job are you looking for then, holly?

I’m thinking of getting back into the spy game. I was hoping you could put in a good word for me with the wsb.

What? That’s what got you involved with victor in the first place. Robert nearly lost his mind with grief, searching for you from here to monte carlo to wherever.

Happily, victor is dead.

Yes, but you and I both know that there are other people out there like him. Why would you want to put yourself through that? Not to mention, robert.

The last thing I want would be to hurt robert.

So stay out, stay safe. Really, I can assure you that the rush of espionage is not worth the downside.

I don’t want the job for the rush.

Well then, what?

I need the money.


Proper tea.

Yes.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Yeah, I– I need money to help my son.

Oh, no. What, ethan’s in trouble again already?

Yeah. Yeah, my son has a bit of a robin hood complex.

He steals from the rich to give to the poor, actually.

Minus, as he puts it, a small commission.

Oh, I see. [Laughs]

Trouble is, some of the rich that he’s robbed aren’t very happy. They either want their money back, or they want him killed. So he’s gone back to australia. He knows the players there, the deep pockets. My son is as good with cards as anybody I’ve ever seen. He’s much better than me, and he’s better than his father. But if he makes enough to pay back the people who want to kill him–

he risks creating another loser who would want revenge.

If I don’t settle his debts, my beautiful son is a dead man walking.

Mac, this is really none of our business.

We’re talking about my brother.

Mac, let’s just say that robert has some issues he needs to work out.

What kind of issues?

If you want answers to those questions, you’re gonna have to ask your brother. Excuse me.

Ok, there is more to this story, and I’m gonna get some answers.

No, no, no. Mac, diane is right.

About what?

You need to talk to your brother. Ask robert what is going on.

Ace is my whole world. I mean, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him. But I also need my freedom and my independence. And living in a place where people are constantly looking at me sideways and waiting for me to commit a crime– I mean, it’s suffocating.

All right, I can certainly appreciate that. But your life is going to get better, esme. I promise you that. You just have to be a little patient.

I have been patient. Look, I admit that you and kevin have been very generous to let me and ace live here for free. But that also means that spencer is constantly looking down at me, and making me second guess every decision that I make about my son. And when do I get to live my life on my own terms?

Esme, perhaps there’s a way to make that happen. That is, if you truly mean what you say.

To be perfectly clear, I don’t think that spencer is gonna follow in his great uncle’s footsteps. I don’t think he’s interested in world domination. To me, it seems like he follows in the footsteps of his father. Just like nikolas, spencer is entitled. He’s reckless. And what’s most concerning to me is the content of his– his character. Just like his father. I mean, what kind of man sleeps with his son’s girlfriend? A cassadine–someone who is entitled, spoiled, oblivious to consequences. And that’s why I’m so afraid for trina.

For what it’s worth, if nikolas didn’t come back to town for the birth of his own son, I don’t think he’s coming back at all. And so his influence over spencer is done.

It’s too late. He’s already had, what, 18, 19 years of bad parenting? The mold is set. The damage is done. Spencer is who he is, and he’s a danger to trina. She–

[Sighs] She throws all common sense out the window, which she never used to do. And she jumped on that damn boat and almost died. And I need your help to make trina see reason.

I understand what you’re saying, portia, I really do. And believe me, I have my own regrets about becoming involved with the cassadine family. But I love trina, and so I have to be honest with you. I think you’d be smarter to not move against spencer.

What the hell are you implying?

I’m not trying to suggest you wouldn’t be proud to call trina your daughter. The way I see it, it’s not who she is that is the issue. It is the strings that bind her to her mother that might be problematic, and do you really need that complication in your life right now?

Why don’t you just spit it out, selina? What are you driving at?

As I explained, I have access to the labs at gh. I can make that dna test result go any way you want.


Why would I tamper with dna test results? Because that’s just compounding one lie with another. Trina is a wonderful young woman that I love very much already.

All true. But you used to be a risk taker, a man who lived on the edge and liked it. Perhaps you felt that kind of rush again while playing the hero in greenland.

[Scoffs]

I’m sure the wsb was impressed you could do something that they couldn’T. And maybe you’d like more. And having a daughter might get in the way of that.

[Phone buzzing] That’s true, isn’t it? Then, why let anything or anyone tie you down?

Excuse me, the hostess told me you’re ava jerome. I have a delivery for you.

Oh. Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Thank you. Um, sorry.

I guess I’m just a little surprised. I’m surprised that you don’t want to support keeping trina away from spencer. I–I guess I just figured you of all people would understand what a wrecking ball that family is.

Yeah, well, I agree that the cassadine family can be bad news. And I–I don’t blame you for being concerned about trina’s decision to stick with spencer.

But you won’t help me make trina see the light of day?

[Scoffs] I’ve seen a different side of him. He’s changing and maturing. He took a very principled stand when it came to his baby brother. I understand why trina feels the way she does, and that’s why I can’t help you. If I have any advice at all, it would be for you to leave it alone, and let trina make her own decisions about her life.

I hope that curtis will always be in my life, no matter what the test results show.

Yeah. I wish I could say the same about esme.

I have to say, though, after dr. Gatlin-holt checked out ace and gave him the thumbs up, watching you walk out with laura and esme and ace, you kind of looked like A…

we were a family. Trust me, we’re not. I would give anything for esme to let go, and relinquish the responsibility of raising my brother to me.

I don’t know. Despite everything esme has done to me, I can’t help but feel for her. She doesn’t remember how she used to be or how she acted. And if you think about it, ace is all she’s got.

[Dramatic music]

Trina robinson, you’re a genius.

Thank you. What did I say?

Right now, ace is all esme has. She needs to open her eyes and expand her horizons, broaden her worldview. As long as she is solely focused on ace, she’s never gonna give him up.

Ok. That’s a good idea, but how?

Right, yeah. That’s the hard part, because somehow, we’re going to need to get her to come to that conclusion on her own.

I meant every single word of what I said. I want to stand on my own two feet, and I want to make my own choices. And I want to live where and how I want to live.

All right. What if I can make that happen?

You can help me get my hands on my trust fund?

I don’t think that’s what alexis means.

No, that isn’t what alexis means. I’m not offering you a free ride. I’m offering you a chance to earn that independence you crave.

And how would you do that, exactly?

I have an opening for a receptionist at the invader.

A job answering the phone.

I’m sorry, do you have a college degree or any work experience at all?

No.

[Quietly] Not really.

Then, this seems like a very appropriate job for you to start. Unless, of course, all that talk about you standing on your own is just talk.

Look, this isn’t a fishing expedition. As the da, it’s my job to investigate any hint of criminal conspiracy.

All due respect, I thought we as cops did the investigating, and you guys did the prosecuting.

Let me give you a refresher course in the chain of command. I sit on top of it.

And the judge, who has to sign off on your warrant?

I’ll light a fire under that damn judge right now. I’m sick of waiting.

Come on, felicia, we’ve always been honest with each other. What do you know that I don’t?

[Cell phone ringing] What’s up, dante?

Uh, mac, hey. Calling you about your brother.

What about my brother? Thanks for calling, dante. Bye.

What is it?

That’s what I need to find out.

You’re not the only one who cares about ethan and would want to help him. Robert still regards him as the son he never had. I’m sure he would help in a heartbeat.

Oh, I–I know he would. But if I involved him in ethan’s not quite legal activities– I mean, he’s a respected district attorney. The scandal could bring him down, and I would never do that to him.

Robert still means that much to you, huh?

Yeah. From the moment I first realized that I loved robert, I always have and I always will.

[Chuckles]

So tell him about ethan, and then let him make the decision whether he gets involved or not.

Well, it’s not quite as simple as that. There are things that I don’t want robert to know, for his protection. And if I’m honest, for my own. It’s like what diane miller said.

Oh, wait. Sorry, you spoke to diane about robert?

Yeah. She asked me why I thought that things would work out between robert and me this time, when they never have before.

She has a point. But she also has a horse in the race.

Yeah, I’m keenly aware.

So what, you’re gonna drop out of the race, and let her win?


I barely know diane, but I get the impression that we’re alike in one way. We are both too proud and self-reliant to stoop to pulling out each other’s hair over a man, even if that man is robert scorpio.

No.

[Laughs]

But my point is, is that the last thing that I would want to do is hurt robert by damaging his reputation. And if I end up having to take another path to get the money I need for my son–

is there another path?

Well, there’s always another path. Sometimes, I’ve taken it and lived to regret it.

Yes. I remember.

So will you contact the bureau and help me get my foot in the door before it’s too late?

Well, holly, I have to be straight with you. You know, my influence over there is limited. They’ve replaced frisco because he refused to give the order for the airstrike over the island. And, um, I just got back from a thorough debriefing in london. And the new director is, uh– well, suffice to say he’s not really enamored with me or anyone associated with frisco.

Oh, I–I see.

But I still know some people.

[Chuckles]

I mean, I can make some calls. And I think I would be careful about taking that other path, if I was you.

Can you believe it? The judge won’t sign off on the war– warrant.

[Chuckles] Let me guess. Detective falconeri calls our baby brother, who makes a beeline for the station.

Detective falconeri was doing his job. It’s time to talk.

[Soft dramatic music]

You can forget about the warrant. The savoy is off limits.

Like hell, it is. Look, we both know that wu was a regular customer in there. And I have reason to believe that holly’s now got herself–

so holly’s in trouble again, and you’re her knight in shining armor riding to the rescue.

Mac, you know what she’s like. She’s her own worst enemy. Now, if I can just simply intervene–

intervene, and you’re gonna screw up all the surveillance that I put in place to get the goods on selina wu.

Why wasn’t i informed of this?

I’m telling you now. Stay out of it.

May I?

I–um–

mac is really worried about his brother.

Well, I’m sorry about that, felicia. But I actually have to get through these notes before I head on over to court.

Don’t try so hard, diane. I know you care about robert.

Absolutely, I do. There’s a professional respect, yes.

Robert and i go way back, and holly is a very good friend of mine.

I’m–I’m more than aware you were with holly last night when she arrived at my table to have a frank discussion of present circumstances. And if I didn’t say it then, I want to thank you and alexis for allowing holly and i to have that conversation in private.

I’m not sure you fully understand the present circumstances. It’s time you did.

Trina loves you. She’s gonna come around. But I’ve also seen the way that she looks at spencer. I’ve heard the way she talks about him. She–she was already smitten before everything that happened in greenland. And I’m telling you, painting spencer in a bad light is just gonna make it more difficult for you to heal your relationship with trina.

I’m her mother. If I see her in a situation that’s bad for her, what–

[Sighs]

I’m–I’m really just trying to give you the benefit of my regret. Portia, please don’t push your daughter away. Do better than I did.

Fortunately, my grandmother has a way with esme, so she can encourage her and help her begin to search for things that might fulfill her other than ace, and…

[Sighs] I really am self-absorbed. I’m sitting here going on and on about my problems, when you’re waiting to take a test that could literally change your whole life.

Look, firstly, I was happy for the distraction. And secondly, if you have problems, I wanna hear about them.

Well, I want to hear about your problems.

[Chuckles]

So I guess we’re stuck together?

Looks like.

Well, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Neither would I.

[Soft music]

Selina, if you’re offering to fix the dna test results, there must be something in it for you.

When did you become so cynical?

Why don’t you just admit it? You don’t give a damn if I’m trina’s father or if I’m not. You just like having something over me.

What else do I need? I already have our little game in the back room, payback for putting your father’s arrest record into your hands. Whether you like it or not, the two of us are joined at the hip.

For now. But hear me clearly. Do not do me any favors by doctoring those results. Oh. This is your tab from last night.

[Ominous music]

Did you put alexis up to this? Is this your way to keep me in town, by chaining me to a desk so I can never leave?

[Scoffs] You know, esme, some people might see it as an opportunity. I know I did when I was asked to answer phones for elq when I was your age.

[Baby crying over monitor]

Um, I should go check on ace. Just..

[Crying continues]

[Sighs] You know, it’s–it’s a great opportunity for her. She can put down roots. She can create a home for herself and for her son, with her son’s family’s assistance, of course.

So why do you look so worried?

I am worried, but not about esme. I’m actually worried about you.


Esme may not currently be able to remember all the terrible things that she’s done, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she won’t revert to her old behavior.

I’m very well aware of that, which is why I was worried about her living here with you.

But what choice did I have, you know? She holds the fate of my grandchild in her hands.

I know that. I know that, which is why I think this was–

uh, alexis. Um, I thought about your offer.

There’s no rush. You could take your time.

Yeah, you don’t have to decide now.

Except I have decided. I’ll take it.

Excuse me, I’m having some tests done today. And my question is, how is the lab security system? I mean, how absolutely certain are you that no one can tamper with the dna test results? And what safeguards do you have in place?

Why all the questions?

Curtis, is something wrong?

Well, you know. You know I ask a lot of questions. I just want to make sure the results are gonna be accurate.

Thanks for your concern, but I haven’t even been tested yet.

It won’t be long now. And it will be accurate.

Sorry, I stuck my nose in.

It’s ok. You have a nice nose.

I wonder if it runs in the family.

I hope you don’t think I’m telling you how to parent because I’m not. I’m just–I’m hoping that you can learn from my mistakes.

I appreciate hearing your perspective. But I can’t stand by. I can’t lose trina.

So what are you doing to do?

I don’t know.

Robert and holly have 30 plus years of history, but that doesn’t mean that he’s ready to upend his life for her now. Whatever’s going on with you and robert, I know it–

there is nothing going on with me and robert, except a court date, which I have to keep.

You are the ultimate professional, diane. But I know the signs. You care about robert.

And holly sutton is the love of his life. End of story.

I have no interest in compromising the pcpd’s surveillance of wu.

Then, stay the hell out of it.

I can’t do that. Hey, where’s my warrant?

Tell the da he can wait till hell freezes over.

Ok, why don’t we just sit down and discuss this?

Screw the warrant.

[Dramatic music]

[Knocking on door]

Anna devane?

Uh, yes?

Just need a signature.

Oh, sure. Thank you. Mm-hmm, thank you.


Good, then I’ll tell her to expect you.

[Knocking on door] The starting salary is what it is, but you do get health care benefits and day care.

Wait, does that mean that ace can come to work with me? I won’t have to leave him with spencer and laura? Oh, my god, thank you. Thank you so much.

[Tender music]

Hi.

Mom, um, we’re just waiting to get our dna tests.

Trina, just remember whatever happens, you’re not alone.

I’ll make sure of that.

Then, we’re all in agreement. Trina comes first. Always.

[Dramatic music]

Oh, right.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

I can’t wait to tell ace mommy’s got her first job. This is our first step on our path to independence. Thank you.

Looks like I got myself a receptionist.

Yeah.

What’s that?

Uh, I don’t know. It was just delivered by messenger.

A messenger? That’s old school.

[Phone ringing]

It is, isn’t it? Oh, excuse me. Hi, anna.

Hey, laura. Did you by any chance just get an envelope delivered to you by messenger?

Yes, just this very moment. How’d you know?

Because I got one, too. It’s an invitation to the reading of victor’s will.

Robert and holly are my friends. I just want them to be happy.

Well then, felicia, there’s nothing left to say, is there?

Just this. Seeing robert with you and knowing his very complicated history with holly, I’m not so sure where their happiness lies.

Da scorpio. If you’re looking for curtis, he just left.

Actually, I’m looking for you.

Oh, really? What can I do for you?

What is the hold that you have over holly sutton?

I suggest you ask the lady herself.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning taste testers. I hope you’re hungry. B cups, we have pine, coconut and vanilla bean honey this morning. They all look delicious. Wow. But uh, honey, we still have the pastry you made yesterday. Yeah, the day before. I know I need to find a hobby right now that I’m unemployed. It’s kind of crazy making all this stuff for just the three of us.

Oh, faith is. Oh, Chanel honey, this situation isn’t going to go on forever. I know police department is, and they might be taking their sweet time, getting enough evidence to arrest that witch Sloan Peterson, but Abraham’s pulling every string that he can to get the Health Department off your back so you can open sweet bits back up as soon as possible.

You know, I know this processes isn’t going quite as fast as we would like, but we have to go through the proper channels. Mm-hmm. I’d like to channel those police and they’re doing their job. Oh, this, it’s, it’s unfair of them to deprive you of your livelihood when you are a victim too. After all, it’s not as though anyone at Sweet Pits tampered with those biscuits.

Of course not. Speaking of which, I can’t believe Jada suspected her own sister of being involved. Open up. It’s Detective Jada Hunter. Again, I need to talk to you. Rafe. What are you doing here? Same thing you are.

I could stay here all day. Company is exquisite. In this bed smiles better than the one over at that God awful motel. Yeah, I guess what’s a man now you’re not missing castle cockroach. What? No, it’s just, I know. No one slash I can’t Late last night. Since it was after midnight. Right, exactly. So what are you worried about now, Helen?

It’s just you’re staying in the middle of town. If my sister found you at that motel, I mean,

so I told you this was the only option, Talia. I thought I made that clear to you. Not just because your sister came asking questions, but because mine did too.

Colin, it’s me. I need to make sure you’ve left town. I know you had other plans, but this is for the best. Trust me. Call me when you get this. I love you.

Hey, that was a quick shower. Yeah. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it Overhear your conversation. What was all that about? I mean, who were you talking to?

Good morning, Anna. Hi. Hi. Oh, well, how are you feeling today? Any morning sickness yet? Sorry. It’s okay. No, uh, no. No nausea. Just, uh, a little panic stricken. Oh, it’s understandable. Um, Look, Nicole, I, I know that, um, you have entrusted your secret with me, and I’m very honored that, um, I’ve earned your confidence.

But, but, oh, I have a confession to make. I was an accident. I didn’t mean to do it. So please don’t be upset with me. Oh my God, Anna. You told EJ was pregnant,

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

No, I didn’t tell EJ or anybody else that you are pregnant. Of course not. Thank God. Well then what? Oh, well you remember that adorable little necklace that you lent me because it went so well with my Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. Oh, well the chain broke and I’m sorry I, but I will have it fixed as soon as possible.

Annana. I. I, I don’t care about the necklace. Don’t, don’t worry about it. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. I, I’ll give it back to you as soon as I get it fixed. And I’m, you know, I’m, thank you for being understanding cuz I remember how upset I was when Susan broke my crystal heart. God rest her soul. Honey, are you planning on keeping this secret forever?

I mean, not forever because you can’t, you’re gonna be showing Sue.

I don’t know. I mean, if I, if I can’t carry the baby determined, then does it matter if I tell anyone? Probably not. But if I can hang on to this baby, then that’s different. But that’s why I’m panicking. And I, I made an appointment with Kayla, you know, for the paternity test, but I know that’s not gonna happen for a couple of weeks.

Okay. I know that I asked you. Who you hoped the father is, Eric or ej. And you said you didn’t care as long as the baby was healthy, but I’m just guessing

what that you hope it’s Eric’s

look, I, I can explain it. Listen, I don’t mean to. Pry. It’s just I heard you say I love you. Yeah. I was leaving a message for my brother. Your your brother. You haven’t mentioned him in a long time. Is everything okay?

Wait, your sister knows you’re in town. Yeah. She ever heard your sister talking to her boss about some British guy who was staying in the white dove? She figured it was me. How she figured everything out. What do you mean by everything? Surely you can figure it out. And she was pretty upset, understandably, about the prime suspect in all of the crimes committed against Chanel and her mother, not to mention her boyfriend.

Took one of the biscuits and he slept with another woman whilst he was under the influence. Wow. So that’s why she’s upset. Yeah. And she was so upset that she told me if I didn’t get out of town and call the whole thing off, she was gonna go to the police and tell ’em about my involvement, babe. So that’s why you had the suitcase out when I came back last night.

Right. I was going to cut my losses and do what she asked. Then you came back and you told me how hard Chanel had fallen for you, and I realized. I can’t leave now. Wait. Come. Why not? I mean, Chanel’s Bakery is shut down. You scared the hell out of Paulina with those threats. Hey, this is the perfect time to get out.

Before we get caught,

I am so relieved that Talia’s been cleared, even though it never made much sense for the police to suspect her in the first place. They, they don’t anymore. Right? Well, Talia gave reasonable explanations to all the questions that Jada asked her. Mm-hmm. That child was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now she’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about her. Good, because I got plenty of other things to worry about.

Wonder who that could be. Oh, um, who’s there? It’s Melinda Trask. Yes. I better let her in, huh? Unfortunately. Oh. I’m here to see the mayor since when does the DA make house calls? I have some rather delicate matters I wanna discuss with you outside of City Hall. Oh, well, you know, if you expect me to just leave my home because you wanna have a little private chat with my husband, I don’t I, you see this actually concerns you and your daughter as well.

Oh. How so? Yeah, what’s going on? No need to worry, missed price. Um, you see, I think we’re gonna be on the same page for once. I need you to fire Ray Hernandez.

So you came to Warren calling off my sister. Yeah. Naone to get the hell outta Salem. Oh, I figured A stern talking to from the commissioner or police might encourage the son of a bitch to do the right thing, but he was gone when I got here. Checked out late last night, right after I started asking questions.

Yep. Oh, another thing he checked in using the same alias that he used with you. Call him Firth. Oh, plus he paid all cash. This guy is scum for the way he treated my sister. But this, this sounds like there has to be something more to this. Yeah. Like maybe something criminal.

Why the hell would I fire Ray Hernandez other than flaming incompetence? This sweet bit debacle is far from his first abject failure as a poisoning victim. I believe I speak for the people of Salem when I say, enough is enough, Mr. Ask, have you forgotten that Rafe was also a poisoning victim, that he has every incentive to solve this case, and he’s worked very, very hard to do so.

And so Peterson, she, she may be our lead suspect, but there is not a shred of evidence. You’ll, you’ll never be able to prosecute this case. Now, with the appropriate support from the Salem pd, specifically the commissioner, Of course I could. I need someone in this job who can get things done. Who’s not afraid to judiciously bend a few rules.

You mean break them what it’s called for. So I suppose you have someone in mind for this. I do. Your wife

Colin. We can go back to New York. I can start working as a doctor again. We can get our lives back spec. Once this is all over, we will do that. But baby, we can’t pull the plug now. Sloane doesn’t know anything about what you’re up to with Chanel, so we don’t have to abandon that part of the plan, especially when you are so close to breaking the girl’s heart.

What.

Look, I really hate to disappoint you. I, and I mean, the last thing I wanna do is to let you down and everything. But for what? Just spit it out. Would you come? I can’t take this anymore. Okay. I don’t wanna do this.

Yeah, no, everything’s. It’s fine with my little brother. I just, I like to check in on him every so often, you know? He’s had it kind of rough. Yeah. You mentioned something about that before, but you didn’t go into details. Well, I really don’t know that much about his childhood actually, because of the age difference, you know?

I mean, he was just a taller when I was starting high school. Then a few years later, he moved away to London with my parents when my dad became a professor over there. So he grew up across the pond. Right.

And after both our parents died, Not that it wasn’t traumatic for me was obviously, but I think it was even worse for him. In what way?

Well,

it’s. It really changed him, you know,

not that I wasn’t totally derailed by it. I was, but I don’t know. It’s just his grief. It’s just anger. I mean, it completely took him over so much to the extent that, um, I mean, he could barely even function.

What are you thinking?

What? Nevermind. I hate even say it. No. Say what? Mommy, is it possible to your brother could be the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel?

Anna, how could you say that? Don’t you get it? I am trying not to go there. Not to go where? To, to fixate on whose baby I’m carrying or whose baby I prefer to be or not to be. That’s why I’m panicking because I don’t know what the hell to do. I, I don’t know what to think. Was he even to expect, I. And this stupid drugged one night stand with Eric.

This just really mess up my life. Don’t you see that? Oh, I do. Of course I do. And what’s really making me panic more is that I’m, I’m likely to miscarry now, why would you say that? Because the odds of me carrying a baby to term is practically zero. You have Holly.

Holly was conceived through I V F. Chloe Lane was my surrogate. Oh, I’m sorry. I have no idea really, because I thought everyone in Salem knew. Look, Daniel and I, we, we froze my embryos. Because I had already had two miscarriages and the first baby I, I wanted so desperately. Oh, I do remember that. I don’t know if you remember this or, or you even heard, but the second one, I, anyone have anything to do with ej?

I didn’t want him to know that the baby was his, and both times he was livid with me. Oh God,

I thought I had put all this pain behind me, but now that I’m pregnant, it’s just all the fears and the, the possibility of feeling that loss over again is just, oh, honey, maybe you don’t have to, I mean, Yeah, medicine has come a long way in the last few years and you know, robots performing surgeries and pig hearts being transplanted into people.

I mean, speaking of hearts, look at what Rolf just did. Oh God. Please do not bring that man into this conversation. Okay, fine, fine. My point is, honey, What was impossible back then might not be impossible now, and maybe you can have a successful, healthy pregnancy after all.

Oh, Anna, I know, well, I’ve read, I’ve read articles about advanced medicine and I do know that even with high risk pregnancy, that there is a likelihood that there would be a positive outcome, you know, more than, than a few years ago. But I don’t wanna get my hopes up. Not to mention Eric’s, because if he is the father, then well, why would you be worried about getting his hopes up?

Because

he’s always wanted to be a dad. At first he lost Mackenzie, and then Jada was pregnant and he was over the moon. And then he found out that she got an abortion. And the only reason that we’re not together is because he blames me for, oh honey, that’s so unfair. That was her choice. I know, I know.

But if he is the father and I do miss Carrie, I will feel like I am taking yet another child away from him.

Why would you even ask me that, Eric? You know nothing about my brother. You just told me that he was more traumatized than you were by what happened. His anger took over him completely on the aftermath of their deaths. Okay, fine. Maybe he has motive. But my brother has nothing to do with those crimes. I mean, think about it.

How could he? Hmm. He’s nowhere near Salem. So we’re back to this. Here are we, and I wanna do this Carlie, and I can’t take this anymore. Can you stop making fun of me please? Could you blame me? It is getting tiring. Talia, you are constantly threatening to jettison our plans, which by the way, you were on board with when we came to Salem.

Yeah. Well, it’s different now. Okay. It, it’s a thing when Chanel Paulina, where these nameless, faceless people, you’re gonna say one more time how they’re nice to you because they are and they have been. Okay. You’re not the one who has to look in Chanel’s eyes and kiss her and shower her with compliments.

It’s me. Okay. And it feels, it just feels wrong. It feels wrong. Yes. Really. How do you think I felt when I found out that my mother jumped to her death from a roof. How do you think I felt when I found out that she didn’t jump, that she was pushed by the same person who seduced my dad. How do you think I felt when I found out that the murderer’s mother.

Flew to London and paid to have everything covered up. Just so that her homicide with daughter wouldn’t have to face the consequences. Now, now the mayor, the mayor’s on her side trying to open up the bakery again, which means that she is gonna get away with it all over again. If you don’t help me. I thought young understood how important this was to me.

Why I have to do this to honor my parents’ memory and get justice for them, and if I don’t, I won’t be able to live in myself. No, I thought you were on my side. Talia, obviously I was wrong.

Excuse me. You want me to be the police commissioner? Well, given what Sloan Peterson has put you through, I assume that you’re willing to do whatever it takes to put her behind bars. Ms. STRask, Paul cannot. And will not go after that position. Besides the blatant nepotism, I believe in my wife’s capabilities, but I appointed rave police commissioner because I believe in him.

And that hasn’t changed. Well, that’s a shame mayor, but I predict that your soft on crime reputation is gonna get you creamed in the next election. I’ll show myself out

so much for my shiny new badge.

Maybe Colin’s gone for good, maybe he’s not, but I don’t wanna take any chances that he’ll find his way back into Talia’s life. You know? Especially since, since the whole thing with the drugged up biscuits. I know Talia gave all the right answers. When we questioned her, even though there were some red flags in her story, what I and, you know, unite, we kept questioning, you know, what her motive would be to sabotage Chanel’s Bakery.

I. Right. Yeah. So you think that maybe he’s involved in this? I dunno. As sure as hell. Hope not. Huh? You know what? The guy might have a record, so how about we try and lift some prints? I’ve got my kit in my car. Yeah, it looks like the room’s been cleaned. Cleaned, huh? Yeah. Clean being a relative turine, like they haven’t even emptied the trash.

Uh, well in that case, we’ll not only pick up Collins’s prints, but we’ll pick up Talia’s as well and any other transient that’s been in and out of this place. Mm, better man. Look at this. Oh, yeah.

But we’ll get his prints off of that.

Colin, I am on your side. You know this and I hate, look at me, and I hate. How you had to suffer your mother’s murder in the awful way of your dad dying. Okay? And I understand why you wanna get justice for them. I do. I really do. But whatever you do, just please, please don’t be mad at me. Okay.

And how difficult this has been for you. Having to seduce someone that you despise. So I’m not even attracted to women, and not to mention you only have eyes for me. That is true. And it’s true for me too, babe. You are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel whole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. Yeah, I do. I told you that. I know how much I’ve asked from you. You’ve just been so supportive and understanding

almost at the finish line. All right,

we’re almost at the end.

Well, you know, if it’s any consolation. Your current job pays a hell of a lot more than police commissioner Point taken and ape. I do admire your loyalty to Ray. Well, I’m loyal to Ray because he’s damn good at what he does. I mean out, dare that woman come in here and ah, I tell you. Okay. Okay. We’re not gonna talk anymore about.

Melinda and her shenanigans. I am going to put her out of my mind and go to the office. Oh, and I should do the same. I wish I could do the same. Oh, baby. Oh, I know how hard it is. And let you, how much you wish that you could just get ready, head off to the bakery and wick a tail off. Yeah. Instead of hanging around in this apartment making bear calls that everyone’s sick of.

Oh, sweetheart. Chanel. No one is sick of anything that you make. Your mom and I well, we just want you to get back to running your wonderful business and you will soon my precious girl. Ah, but for now, why don’t you, uh, you know, go take a shower, get dressed, and uh, you know, get ready to, to beat your dad.

Why? Well, because we always feel better when we are dressed for success, you know? Oh, so go ahead, go on, get out of those PJs and go on there and put on something pretty. And I promise you, the world will seem a lot brighter.

I am. I’ll go get ready to greet the day as you say. Oh, baby, I know. I know how leak it seems, but. You never know what the day might bring. Hey,

I’m sorry if I upset you. I mean suggesting that your brother could have something to do with the crimes against Pauline and Chanel. No, it’s just, like I said, it doesn’t make sense. Right. Since, um, he’s not in Salem and we’re close. Right, so you’re gonna get dressed today or what? Oh yeah. I guess that would be a good idea.

Oh, not the answer I was looking for. No. Mm-hmm. Before when you heard me say, I love you, I need to know who I was talking to. Were you by any chance a little jealous? Jealous me. I don’t get jealous. Oh, really? Not even just a little bit. Okay. Maybe I was, um, a bit jealous.

Anna, I just feel so alone, which is ironic, isn’t it? Given that I am with child, as they say, which makes me not alone really at all. No. No, you’re not. And you have me, you know? Yes. And I’m very thankful.

But what’s supposed to make me happy, what is supposed to be a blessing and a and a miracle, is just making me sad and confused

and really sleepy. Well, of course you are. You know, that’s very normal in the first trimester. I know that. Oh God, there’s my coffee. Coffee. No, no, no, no, no. What Nicole, you have to start taking care of yourself and the baby. That means no caffeine, no, no alcohol. And you have to start taking some prenatal vitamins as soon as possible.

I mean, so many crucial organ systems are forming in these first few weeks, right? I, I know that. So you’re gonna call Kayla and you’ll get a prescription for those vitamins. Will you do that today, please? I will. Yes, I definitely will. And Nicole, I know this is so difficult for you, but try looking on the bright side.

EJ is crazy about you and. If this baby is his, he will take care of you and this baby. 100%. And Eric, well you just told me that he’s always wanted to be a dad, so no matter what the complications are, are he’s sure to be thrilled. He’ll be thrilled, and he will also be there for you and the baby every step of the way.

So really, no matter what, this baby is going to bring a whole lot of joy to whomever. Wow, you were sugarcoating the hell out of that, but I, I am, I’m very grateful. You definitely lifted my spirits as only you can. Well, things are gonna look up, honey. Yeah, I promise.

How long is it gonna take? Maybe the prints on the razor weren’t good enough. No, it would appear as though they are. See what we got.

Nothing. Damn. As I can tell you, X doesn’t have a record after all.

Hey look gorgeous babe, as always. Why? Thank you, baby. So what are you gonna be doing while I’m with you? Now? I am gonna stay right here. Keep the bed warm. Ready to celebrate to your success. That’s it. What do you mean? That’s it? I mean, you’re the one who said Breaking Chanel’s heart wasn’t gonna be enough.

That that would just be the beginning of you getting justice for your mother’s death. Right. But our respective sisters kind of blew that plans a hell, didn’t they? Besides, I said to my sister that I was gonna drop it. I was done. And since I am a man of my word,

Yeah. I love you. I love you too.

My poor baby. I don’t know how much more that she can take. Mm. Excuse me,

mayor Carver. Oh, oh, great. Uhhuh Uhhuh. Well, uh, yes, of course. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be right there. Thanks. Thanks. Well, it looks like pressure from the mayor’s office has finally paid results. The health inspector. He has agreed to meet me at the bakery right now for a new inspection, and if everything goes as expected, he will consider.

Reopening on a conditional basis. Oh, and that’s wonderful. You’re wonderful. Oh, Chanel will be thrilled. Oh, well, he wants you to come down as the owner of the building. Oh, well, yeah. Well, Chanel should be there too, as the owner of the bakery. Oh, wait a minute on second. I don’t wanna get our hopes up. You know what, let’s wait.

Tell her until we’re short. That is good news. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Ugh. Okay. You ready to go there? Yes. Yes, sir. Oh, yes.

You have an appointment? No, it’s just my alarm to take my control pill.

Oh, I gotta get these refilled.

I don’t suppose you, nevermind. Nevermind. You just say it.

I can’t help but wonder if you and Nicole use protection. The night you guys were together, you don’t have to worry. There’s no way that Nicole is pregnant.

Look, I’m only gonna tell you this for your peace of mind and it stays between us. Of course.

I just found out she’s going through early menopause.

Menopause,

that poor thing.

Okay, I’m off to Mak. Uh, Unless maybe I should stay with you. Oh, no, Anna, I’m, I’m fine. You’ve cheered me up, like I said. Oh, good. I hope so, because I have a, a real knack for putting my foot in it sometimes, which I did quite a few times here. Pressuring you to try to tell me who you hope the father of the baby is, and that is nothing you need to be worried about right now.

I know you were just trying to help, you know, to get me to figure things out. Yeah, more like I was nosy, which isn’t a great attribute. Gets me in a whole lot of trouble. Oh you. You weren’t being nosy. You’re just interested in people and do it in the most kindhearted way. Well, thank you for being understanding and you are kindhearted too.

Are you sure it’s okay for me to leave you now? Go play. Will do one more thing. Okay. Nicole, I am praying for you and this baby, and because I’ve, I’ve seen what a wonderful mother you are at Holly. I know in my heart. That this baby, this child is going to be very lucky no matter what.

Thank you.

Hi. Sorry. Is this a bad time? I probably should have called first. Oh, not at all. I got nothing but time and my mom and Abe just left for the office, so I am all by my lonesome. Not anymore. All. Not anymore. Come in,

you know, my mama told me that I should. Wear something pretty because you never know what the day might bring. And I’m so glad I listened to her because it brought you,

I don’t know whether to be relieved that the guy is clean. We’re disappointed that we’ve hit a dead end. I was so sure this guy was gonna have a list of priors. So was I. Iran, his print to the New York and Salem databases. Those were his last known residences. I mean, he could have been arrested somewhere else in another jurisdiction, but he’d be here all year running them through every system and we don’t even know if there’s even been a crime here.

Wait a minute, the guy’s a Brit, right? Scotland Yard

Looks like we got a match.

This place was always so cheerful, so sad to see it. Something was empty. Well, let’s hope it won’t be that way anymore. Mm. Mayor Carver

and you must be polling a price. None other nice to meet you both. I’m from the health department.

Eric, hi. Oh, it’s so nice to see you again. Um, I was just at the liquor store buying some Majong from my chardonnay. I, I mean, some chardonnay from my Majong, right? Yeah. Well, actually I had to sample the chardonnay, several different Chardonnays now that I think about it. And I suppose it’s a little early in the day to be imbibing, but.

You can’t really buy wine unless you sample it. Can you, you agree with me, don’t you? You seem a bit nervous. Santa nervous. No, actually I feel very calm. It’s um, probably the chardonnay Oh, the, that Chardonnay And now I’m off to you meet my delightful Majong friends and I’m hoping to win every game. So, uh, You have a wonderful day, Eric.

Yeah, and take care. It’s good to see you too.

Here’s your prenatal vitamins.

Sheila: He’s an attorney, mike. A very influential criminal defense lawyer.

Mike: He must have some dough.

Sheila: Better. He’s got clout. Power.

Mike: Oh. So that’s why you’re putting on the lipstick, the perfume. You’re hoping to work your magic on the poor sap. Did it work?

Sheila: No.

Mike: Well, I guess you’re stuck in here with me, angel

Sheila: Not for long. Hmmm! Twix with cookie and cookie dough?

Rj: I can’t tell if my mom is living a life of her own choosing or not.

Eric: What do you mean?

Rj: Like, her and dad were going pretty steady until a lie tore them apart. And it was a lie that my mom had nothing to do with. And I know that that’s all been cleared up now, but they’re still apart.

Eric: Well, your mom took a very strong stand with ridge.

Rj: It’s– it’s nice that she and taylor are friends now and I’ve heard all about the pact that they’ve made and that’s great, but I’m left to wonder if my mom will ever truly be at peace with her life until she’s reunited with my dad.

Taylor: You think it’s strange seeing brooke and me as friends? What about you two? I’ve never known you two to get along so well.

Deacon: Brooke’s my queen. And she always will be.

Brooke: You could have any woman in here.

Deacon: They just want me for my pasta sauce and you know it. Besides, you and I, we have a very special connection. The– the best kind of bond any two people could share.

Brooke: Our sweet hope.

Deacon: She is pretty terrific.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, she is the best of both of you. You have a lot to be proud of.

Brooke: Yes, we do.

Deacon: We did one pretty incredible thing, didn’t we? We made an awesome human being.

Brooke: We certainly did.

Mike: Cheer up. Life can be worse. At least you still got me.

Sheila: I’m sorry. That’s really no consolation for being chained up like an animal.

Mike: Do the crime, you do the time. Think any of us convicts wanna be in here?

Sheila: Yeah. But I don’t deserve to be in prison, mike.

Mike: That’s what we all tell ourselves. Sheila, you gotta accept your fate. Sooner you do, the easier life will be, you know?

Sheila: No. You know, no. I don’T. And I won’t accept that this is my future. I never will. Now I– I need to be free. I need to connect with my son and my grandson again.

Steffy: So sheila wants you to visit her because you were her attending doctor for one night.

Finn: When she went into cardiac arrest.

Steffy: So then why doesn’t she want the entire hospital team or the prison doctor?

Finn: Oh, she’s requesting me personally.

Steffy: So it’s a blatant manipulation.

Finn: Without a doubt. Listen, sheila is nothing if not transparent.

Steffy: And you’re gonna go?

Finn: Well, I didn’t want to. I thought I was done with her. We’re never gonna have to see her again. But obviously, she’s under the illusion that it’s okay to contact me, have some type of relationship. Look, it’s time I pay sheila a visit and make it absolutely clear to her that she has no place in our life. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Eric: Yes. I’ll have katie send that press packet out to you as, uh, soon as we hang up. Thanks for everything, klaus. Bye. Uh, sorry. Sorry about that.

Rj: Oh, no problem. You’re a busy man.

Eric: Never too busy for my grandson. And as far as you asking about brooke, I’m not sure I’m the person to ask about that. As she seems to be happy. Uh, but, uh, I think if you wanna talk to anybody about brooke, I think brooke is the person to ask.

Rj: You’re right. I just– I thought it couldn’t hurt to talk to you first.

Eric: I’m glad you did. Very impressed with how, uh, sensitive you are to your mother’s feelings. You’re a good soul, my boy. You always have been. Oh, look at this. My two favorite grandkids in the room at the same time.

Steffy: Aw! With our favorite granddad.

Eric: That’s me.

Steffy: Of course.

Eric: Well, your favorite granddad has to get to a meeting downtown. Sorry.

Steffy: Oh, okay. So, I get my, uh, little brother all to myself?

Eric: Yeah. Lucky you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Rj: Thank you for talking.

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: Appreciate it.

Eric: I’ll see you, buddy.

Rj: I’ll see you.

Steffy: Bye. So, did I see a someone going to the clubs last night?

Rj: Was my big sis spying on me?

Steffy: I saw it on your stories. Looked like fun.

Rj: It was.

Steffy: So, uh, how was your meeting with granddad? Seemed like I just walked in on something.

Rj: I don’t know. I was just actually talking to him about my mom. I’m– I’m a little worried about her.

Brooke: Oh, wait. Did hope tell you about her trip to san francisco?

Deacon: Yes. It sounds like they killed it, right?

Brooke: They scored a number of pre-orders.

Deacon: I mean, way to turn it around at the end, right? And– and– look, I know I’m very protective of hope, but props to your son too.

Taylor: Thank you. Yes. He’s just– he is so happy to be back designing with the team.

Brooke: I give them both a lot of credit. They worked really hard to overcome their past. And now, they have this really healthy working partnership.

Deacon: Well, you know, when– when hope puts her mind to something, there’s really nothing she can’t do.

Brooke: That’s true. She’s very determined. She’s been like that ever since she was a little girl.

Deacon: She gets that from her mother.

Brooke: Come on. Don’t sell yourself short. I mean, look around. Look at what you did. You had a vision and you’d brought it to life. That’s amazing. Ii giardino is a hit because of you.

Taylor: And there are no lies detected there. This place is packed for a reason.

Brooke: And I’ll bet that deacon sharpe is going to be the next hot los angeles restaurateur.

Deacon: Did I– I heard hot. Was that– it’s loud in here, but heard hot, yeah?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. I did say that.

Deacon: I like it.

Sheila: Guard! I– I have been sitting here forever. Is there a reason why you’re not taking me back to my cushy cell?

Guard: You have another visitor.

Sheila: I do. Well, who?

Sheila: My son, you came. Kayaking is my thing.

Sheila: You got my letters. I– I wrote you over and over since– since they’ve put me in here and… I started to lose faith that you would come and here you are.

Finn: Well, I wasn’t– I wasn’t sure I even wanted to or if I even should.

Sheila: There’s so much that I have to say to you. I’d be dead if you hadn’t shown me the compassion that you did.

Finn: I’m a doctor. Sheila, I was just doing my job.

Sheila: No. No, it was so much more than that. I– I flatlined. My heart stopped beating and you could have just left me there. Left me on that table to die.

Finn: I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy.

Sheila: You fought for me. No one has ever fought for me before. But you did. I– I don’t know what– what you did or how, but you– you brought me back. And that has got to say something to the two of us, right? Mother and son. That the spiritual connection that we share. I mean, I gave you life and you gave me life. Thank you, son. I thank you for saving my life.

Steffy: You’re concerned about brooke?

Rj: It’s not con– I’m just– you know my mom. She’s– she’s always acting like everything’s fine and that she’s carefree, but… come on. She’s been through a lot recently, right?

Steffy: You’re not wrong about that.

Rj: I mean, you know the full story. You know everything.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. I lived it.

Rj: I know I was gone for all of the drama, but, you know, I don’t wanna bash thomas. He’s our brother.

Steffy: Hey, rj, you have a right to your feelings. Thomas did hurt brooke, and you’re protective of her. I love that about you.

Rj: I told thomas that I’m gonna give him the opportunity to prove that he’s actually changed.

Steffy: Well, that’s good. No, that’s really good. If it helps, I– I believe him.

Rj: I know you do, steffy. I hope you’re right.

Steffy: He’s– he’s just in therapy now and he’s working on himself and I really feel like he’s a change man.

Rj: Yeah. But that– that’s the key. How he’s acting now, that doesn’t erase everything that he put my mom through. How he completely upended her entire life.

Steffy: Because she’s not with dad.

Deacon: Hey, I hope you guys saved some room for dessert because chef just pulled out a batch of our world-famous wedding cookies. I mean, wedding cookies.

[ Phone chiming ] So good.

Brooke: I can’T. I’m stuffed.

Deacon: It’s good.

Taylor: God, it sounds–

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: What is it?

Brooke: Uh, work wants me to come back and help pick out some fabrics, so.

Taylor: Oh.

Brooke: I’m sorry. I hate to cut this lunch short.

Taylor: No, it’s okay. Work is work. I got this. Yes. I’ll catch up with you later.

Brooke: Okay. Deacon, great to see you. And thanks again for such a wonderful meal. I gotta go.

Deacon: Well, I hate to see you go, but I’d love to watch you leave. I know. Cheesy, right? I’ve been waiting to try that one out. Seriously, come back soon. Okay? Please?

Brooke: Oh, I most certainly will.

Deacon: Okay.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Deacon, you need to sit.

Deacon: I’m– I’m sorry that– I– I know that was boring for you to listen to us talking about our daughter and our history.

Taylor: No. No, it wasn’t– it wasn’t boring. It was sweet and fascinating. You know, that– that brooke and I have– have become very close, right?

Deacon: I’ve seen that.

Taylor: Yeah. And I– I feel like– I– I feel like I know her finally, you know. For the first time ever, she respects you, admires you. She knows you.

Deacon: I mean, brooke’s approval means a great deal to me. It really does. She doesn’t judge me for being a screw-up back in the day.

Taylor: Well, of course not. There’s a– there’s a reason that the two of you got together all those years ago. Created hope together.

Deacon: Okay. I see the little hamster wheel going on. What are you getting at here?

Taylor: You know, that brooke and I made a– a pact.

Deacon: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Put forrester in time out.

Taylor: Well, you know, it’s more about, you know, looking out for each other and– and putting our friendship first.

Deacon: I think that’s a great idea. I’m just not getting what it has to do with me.

Taylor: Well, you’ve made some– some huge strides in your life recently.

Deacon: I’d like to think so.

Taylor: And brooke sees that. I know she does. She respects that. What if– what if the timing is– is– is just right. You know, especially now that– now that ridge is out of the picture?

Deacon: And?

Taylor: I don’t know. I’m just thinking that this could be– this could be a opportunity, if you will, mr. Sharpe. You know, to have a shot at a life…

Deacon: With brooke.

Taylor: With brooke.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Summer sighs ]

Billy: Unfortunately, you can’t will those things to ring. How you doing?

Summer: Trying to enjoy some peace and quiet.

Billy: I’m just checking in.

Summer: You know what, billy, I really don’t need you to check in on me or offer your condolences or tell me what a great gal you thought my mom was, because we both know how you felt about her after your relationship ended. So, it’s a little late to be warm and fuzzy.

Chelsea: Daniel.

Daniel: Hey, chelsea.

Chelsea: You look like you could use a friend. Or a good cup of coffee. What’s going on?

Daniel: Oh, you know, just waiting for some bombs to explode.

Jack: Victor, always a joy.

Victor: Indeed. Indeed. Yeah.

Jack: I’m sure you have an important business meeting. Don’t let me keep you.

Victor: Well, now, I have a feeling you’re waiting for someone as well. It’s making you kind of nervous, isn’t it?

Jack: It’s nothing for you to worry about.

Victor: Certainly it couldn’t be about adam. He is back in the newman fold, running mccall. That’s your loss and my gain, you know.

Jack: I couldn’t be happier for you.

Victor: Yeah. Good. Jack… something is bothering you. What’s going on?

Jack: You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.

Victor: Try me.

Diane: You look so serious. Is everything all right?

Kyle: Um… you might wanna sit down.

Diane: No, I’ll– I’ll stand. Is this about my case? Please, kyle, just… just tell me, how bad is it?

Kyle: It’s potentially good, mom. Very good. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Additional sponsorship provided by….

Billy: It’s understandable that you would feel that way. I didn’t exactly handle the breakup with your mom very well, after all.

Summer: Yeah, no kidding.

Billy: Look, summer, whatever issues that we have between us, I think it’s important that you know that I really respected phyllis. She was one of a kind, pure energy. That power wasn’t always used for good, but with that heart of hers, she loved the hell outta you and your brother.

Summer: I know that my mom loves me– loved me. But that love could be… overwhelming. I mean, she– she gave so much, but she demanded a lot in return.

Billy: Yeah. She was all or nothing. She lived life out loud and she expected everyone else to do the same, which didn’t exactly make it easy for the ones that cared for her. Look, summer, I hope I’m not overstepping by saying this. I know how much you loved her. But you two had your fair share of ups and downs.

Summer: She was so impulsive and reckless. She would act without thinking, you know? She would get something in her head and there was no talking her out of it. And she’d end up hurting people she loved and hurting herself even more in the process. All because she had decided that it was her against the world, even when it wasn’T.

Billy: That pretty much sums her up.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] That’s the thing. It didn’t have to be like that. She was never alone, not really. I was always on her side. Always. I just– I don’t know why she couldn’t see that.

Diane: I’m– I’m all for good news, but you don’t look like it’s good.

Kyle: Um, mom, there– there is a real possibility that the murder charges against you can go away.

Diane: What? How? Have– have the police found evidence or proof that I’m innocent?

Kyle: No. No. Not– not exactly.

Diane: Well, then how has anything changed? Kyle? Kyle, you’re not going to do anything illegal to protect me, are you? Because I will not have you putting yourself at risk for me.

Kyle: Look, the only person who has done anything illegal is phyllis.

Jack: Victor, I– I know we’re on better terms these days, but trust only goes so far.

Victor: Uh-huh. Now, jack, you and I have known each other for a long time. Okay? Something is going on. What’s bothering you?

Jack: Let it go, please?

Victor: Maybe you’re waiting for your fiancée to join you. However, she is wearing a beautiful ankle bracelet, courtesy of the authority.

Jack: Not for long.

Victor: Oh, yeah? What are they doing now? Issuing get-out-of-jail-free cards to murderers?

Jack: Diane did not kill phyllis.

Victor: If she didn’t, she belongs behind bars. She’s a bad woman and you know it.

Jack: If anyone belongs behind bars it–

Victor: What are you gonna say? Who belongs behind bars? Who?

Jack: Christine.

Christine: Gentlemen. Is there a problem?

Victor: Oh, my goodness. Christine, how do you do?

Christine: Hi.

Victor: All right. Well, you two have a nice dinner. Thank you.

Jack: Thank you so much for coming.

Christine: Jack, I really shouldn’t be here. I mean, meeting you before diane’s trial is completely inappropriate. I’m only doing it as a courtesy to a friend.

Jack: If– if you will just keep an open mind and listen to me for a few minutes, there will be no need for a trial.

Christine: Is that why you called me here? To lobby me to drop the case? Wait, this is–

Jack: No, no, no. Christine, don’t go. You need to hear this. This is something you wanna know.

Christine: What could possibly be so earthshattering that it would change the course of the case against diane?

Jack: Phyllis is alive.

[ Scoffs disbelievingly ]

Diane: Phyllis did something illegal? I don’t understand. She’s dead. How could whatever she did, legal or otherwise, affect my case or the charges against me? Is this connected to jeremy? Did they find proof that he killed her?

Kyle: No one killed phyllis, mom. It was all stageD. She’s alive. She set up the entire thing to frame you.

[ Gasps ] So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Daniel: What do you do when you wanna help someone, but trying to protect them just might make matters even worse?

Chelsea: Oh, I can relate. You just wanna help ’em, but you’re not sure what the right course is.

Daniel: What’s going on with you?

Chelsea: Connor. He’s been handed a curve ball lately and getting through to him has been difficult. You know, I just try to get him to open up, but he just shuts me down.

Daniel: Well, I’ve been there.

Chelsea: Any advice?

Daniel: You know, I don’t think that I’m the right person to ask.

Chelsea: I swear, the only thing harder than being a parent is being a kid. All the stuff the world throws at them. Um, which is why, actually recently, I came up with an idea.

Daniel: Really?

Chelsea: This is something I’ve been working on. An omega sphere world for kids. I mean, they’re the ultimate gamers anyway, right? Why not create a space that they already feel comfortable in? Help them feel safe feeling their feelings, whether they’re sad or happy or confused. You know, a parent-free zone. No judgments. No timeouts.

Daniel: Well… I think I could’ve used something like this when I was a kid. You know, since we’re here, since we’re caffeinated, clearly, um, why don’t we dive into where we’re at with the current game, and I’ll give you some updates?

Chelsea: Are you sure? I– I mean, I– are you in the right mindset? You’ve been going through a lot lately. If you wanna do it a different day, we can.

Daniel: No. This is exactly what I need right now. Distractions are the only things that are keeping me sane these days.

Billy: Look, I’m no expert on grief, but I know that when you lose someone that you love, “why,” that can send you into the weeds. “Why,” I don’t think it’s the best question. I think maybe “what.” As in, what would your mom want you to do? I know you and daniel, you were everything to her. Her heart and soul. She lived for you. She would die for you. And she would want you to find happiness again.

Summer: I don’t really think that that’s possible.

Billy: Oh, see, right there? No, that’s– that’s not a phyllis attitude. She was a fighter. She didn’t back down. When the going got rough, she doubled down.

Summer: Yeah. It could be exhausting.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Unless she was in your corner. Then you knew you had someone to believe in you. Because she would go to the wall to protect you. I see a lot of phyllis in you. The good parts. Summer, you are smart and you are strong. You know what you want and you go after it and you don’t give a crap about what anyone else thinks. And for the people that are lucky enough to be loved by you, well, they know that you’re gonna do everything in your power to protect them. Over time, this will get a little bit easier. And look, you’re gonna miss her. But that part of her, that– that good part, it’ll stay alive for you, I promise. And here I am yammering on, and all you wanted was a little peace and quiet.

[ Summer laughs softly ] You take care. Okay?

Summer: Billy?

Billy: Yeah.

Summer: I’m sorry.

Billy: Sorry for what?

Summer: For being rude earlier about you and my mom.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Can I ask you one more question?

Summer: Could I stop you?

Billy: I think I know the answer to this. But why are you sitting here alone when you got a whole house full of people that love you and all they wanna do is help you? Now, look, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna say because you believe that you can handle this on your own. I hate to say this, but you can’T.

Summer: You don’t–

Billy: No, you can push me away. That’s fine. Okay? But don’t push all those people that love you and care about you. Don’t– don’t push them away. Like your friends and your family. Especially not kyle. He is crazy in love with you.

Summer: I don’t think that kyle or anyone knows what’s going through my head right now.

Kyle: Phyllis and stark staged her poisoning.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] But the ambulance crash, the– the explosion?

Jack: All orchestrated by phyllis and stark to fake her death.

Christine: But why?

Kyle: Phyllis wanted revenge on you so badly she was willing to go to any extreme to get what she wanted.

[ Gasps ]

Jack: But phyllis has come to regret her decision. She has secretly reached out to daniel.

Kyle: She’s scared and on the run.

Diane: But she’s alive.

Kyle: I know it’s hard to believe.

Jack: But it’s all true.

Christine: [ Sighs ] Well, that’s quite a story, jack, but that’s all it is. Fiction.

Jack: It is the truth, christine.

Christine: It’s desperation.

Jack: Tell me something. Why would daniel, of all people, invent something to help diane’s case?

Diane: Phyllis faked her death to frame me.

[ Scoffs ] I always knew that she was psychotic and vindictive, but this… this is pure evil. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Daniel: We are almost ready to test the prototype.

Chelsea: That’s so exciting. What does that mean? Sorry, I’m a newbie, remember?

Daniel: It’s essentially our first major milestone. We’ll run a test version, then we’ll take a look at functionality, user experience, gameplay, um, the art style. We figure out what works, what doesn’t work, and then we build from there.

Chelsea: Cool. But we can still tinker around with it?

Daniel: Absolutely.

Chelsea: Great. ‘Cause the deeper I dive into all this stuff, the more research I do, the more possibilities I see. Did you know some of these games can qualify to be fda-approved as therapy?

Daniel: I do know that. Isn’t that something?

Chelsea: Yeah, it really is. I– I just want this to be the best game, best tool. Resource. So, I’ve been meeting with experts to try to fine-tune everything we’ve been working on.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, you keep fine-tuning, because that prototype’s gonna be out before you know it.

Chelsea: Well, I can’t wait. And listen, thank you for taking the time to noodle around with all this.

Daniel: You have no idea how much I needed this.

Chelsea: I know you’ve been through something agonizing, and it’s really hard to find your way back from that. But from where I’m standing, you’ve got a lot to be proud of.

Daniel: Thank you. Not sure everyone else would see it the same way, though.

Summer: Daniel, I need to know what you’re thinking. What we’re gonna do next. Has mom called you again? Oh, I hope that she has. Even if she doesn’t say anything, I think it means that she’s thinking about coming home. We have to help her, daniel. We have to find her, no matter what it takes. ‘Cause I’m not gonna let her disappear on us. I have some ideas about how to bring her home safely. So, please just– just call me

[ Sighs ]

Diane: Phyllis has nearly destroyed my life and– and the lives of the people who love her. How can she be so hateful? So selfish? You know what? I have half a mind to hunt her down and drag her back here by her hair.

Kyle: Which is why michael didn’t want us to tell you.

Diane: Oh. Oh, you mean my lawyer is trying to protect his best friend somehow?

Kyle: No, he’s trying to protect you. He was– this is what he was afraid of. That you would get so upset, you’d try to break house arrest.

Diane: And that’s what I should do. I should hunt that bitch down and bring her back here.

Kyle: Mom, I know you’re angry. I understand. But you need to calm down.

Diane: Calm down? What? And– and– and– and do nothing? Oh, my god. Where– where are the police in all this? Why haven’t they found her? And if phyllis is so remorseful and misses her kids so much, then why is she still in hiding?

Kyle: She’s probably facing legal consequences.

Diane: You mean like life in prison for murder, which was my future, thanks to her.

[ Huffs ] But not any longer. So, what’s the plan? What’s the plan? How soon are the charges against me dropped? When will I be free again?

Kyle: There is a process.

Diane: What process? Phyllis is alive.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, we don’t have proof. Just daniel’s word. But I swear to you, dad and i will do everything we can to get the evidence we need. He’s with christine right now trying to convince her to put the gcpd on it.

Diane: I can’t believe your father wanted to keep this from me. When I asked him what was going on, he outright lied to me.

Kyle: No, he only wanted to protect you. He didn’t want you to get your hopes up.

Diane: But this is happening, right? I mean, I’m going to be free again?

Kyle: It’s only a matter of time.

[ Sighs in relief ]

Diane: I’m going to be free. Thank you for telling me. No, thank you. [ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. I can take harrison to the park again. I– I’m going to be able to go out to dinner. I can hold my head high. I mean, whatever process is ahead, I can get through it knowing that my freedom is on the other side. Does summer know?

Kyle: I wanted to tell her as much as I wanted to tell you, but daniel begged me not to.

Diane: Why? Can’t he see how much she’s suffering?

Kyle: He was afraid it would crush her knowing that phyllis put her through all of this. And that phyllis reached out to daniel, not summer, when she was ready to reveal herself.

Diane: You know, how heartless can phyllis be? I mean, she put getting revenge above the well-being of her children.

[ Sighs ] Not– not that I have anything that I can judge after what I put you through.

Kyle: We’re long past that, mom.

Diane: Tell summer. She needs to know that her mother’s alive.

Kyle: Even if it breaks her heart?

Diane: Sh– she has you. And the sooner she knows, the sooner she can heal and the sooner your relationship can heal. And kyle, it’s– it’s your choice. But the toll a secret this big can take… I don’t know if a marriage can survive that.

Christine: If phyllis is so remorseful and determined to be with her children, why is she god knows where and not home?

Jack: She is afraid of prosecution, fraud, falsifying evidence, obstruction of justice. Whatever you can throw at somebody who’s trying to fake their own death. And she’s got a da who’s not a fan of hers, who will make the charges stick.

Christine: I don’t suppose daniel has any evidence, a photograph, a recording?

Jack: No, but he’s willing to sign an affidavit.

Christine: Oh, which means nothing, jack. Come on, there’s more questions than answers. There’s no evidence. We’re taking the word of a grieving son.

Jack: Okay. There is one other charge phyllis could be afraid of.

Christine: And what might that be?

Jack: Murder.

Christine: Excuse me?

Jack: Phyllis killed jeremy stark.

Christine: Oh, you know, this is ridiculous.

Jack: You have another suspect? You have any leads that might lead you to who killed him? I’m giving you one. Phyllis. Is that enough to get your attention? Is that enough to get you to get the gcpd involved in this?

Christine: You know what? You’ve given me a crazy story that’s very light on facts. Okay? So, we’re done here.

Jack: I’ll give you one more fact. Phyllis killed jeremy stark with a pair of scissors. Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Chelsea: Mm. Have you noticed how much of our relationship involves pastries? Cinnamon buns in particular?

Billy: Is that a bad thing?

Chelsea: Nope.

Billy: You know, when I walked in here, I saw you and daniel wrapped up in the world of omega sphere. If you wanna keep working, I can take this cinnamon bun somewhere else.

Chelsea: No way. You and this bun stay here.

Billy: All right.

Chelsea: Especially because we’re celebrating.

Billy: Is that right? What are we celebrating?

Chelsea: The prototype is almost ready.

Billy: That’s amazing.

Chelsea: Yeah. So, this game, it’s not just a hope or a– or a dream or a wish. It’s really happening.

Billy: That’s fantastic. Congratulations.

Chelsea: Thank you. And I’m actually bringing a new aspect to it that involves kids. So, it’s gonna be new lessons, new challenges that help them deal with real life.

Billy: Are we still talking about omega sphere or does this have more to do with connor now?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Billy, I am so worried about him. He’s become so withdrawn.

Billy: Yeah. He’s got a lot going on and he’s just trying to figure out all those feelings.

Chelsea: Yeah. Maybe it’s my fault.

Billy: Why would you say that?

Chelsea: My life. My… episode. Maybe he feels like he can’t lean on me, or else I’m gonna fall apart. Or maybe, I don’t know, maybe he’s stuffed down all of these feelings over the past few months that are finally coming to the surface. Or… maybe he’s angry at me for almost leaving him.

Billy: I think you’re being too hard on yourself. You’re being a concerned, attentive parent. You’re doing all the right things.

Chelsea: Am I? [ Laughs ] Adam and I are not shining examples of healthy behavior, let’s be honest. And it worries me what that could mean for our son.

Billy: I mean, I understand that. I look at johnny and katie sometimes and think their dad has got a very addictive personality. I don’t know if that’s locked in their genes or if that’s something that can be stopped.

Chelsea: [ Exhales ] Well, certainly not something we can solve tonight. But you know what we can do?

Billy: What’s that?

Chelsea: Pat ourselves on the back for making it through another day without screwing up royally.

Billy: I like the sound of that.

Chelsea: Do you?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: I’ll get it embroidered on a pillow. I’ll get one for you. I’ll get one for me.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Oh.

Jack: Now that I have your attention, perhaps you and I can discuss the best way to flush phyllis out of hiding and get her back to genoa city.

Christine: Jack, I won’t be goaded into action. Okay? There’s no evidence that phyllis is alive or that she killed stark. This whole story is just way too convenient. You’re too involved.

Jack: Everything– everything I have told you can be proven, if we find phyllis. One phone call from you and the police can make that happen.

Christine: Oh, so, you want an overburdened police department to spend resources trying to track down a woman who’s legally been declared dead?

Jack: Except she isn’T. And now diane is shackled with a bogus murder charge because the woman who framed her is alive and well. Christine, if you have any sense of justice in you, you– you have no choice but to get the police involved.

Christine: Do not question my sense of justice.

Jack: I don’t understand your hesitation in acting on this. You know phyllis.

Christine: Yeah.

Jack: You have your own history with her. Does it make you think that anything I’m saying is improbable?

Christine: Yes. Yes, it does. Because you know what? As hateful as she has been to me and as capable as she is of doing real harm, the one thing she would never do is abandon her kids. Not like this.

Jack: Well, she did.

Christine: Okay. You know this conversation’s over, right? You want me to believe you? You bring me some proof. Concrete proof.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

Kyle: Hey, glad you’re home. It was getting late.

Summer: I didn’t realize I had a curfew. Uh, did the nanny call you? She met me at the park and took harrison to a sleepover.

Kyle: She did. I’m sure he’s having a great time.

Summer: Yeah.

Kyle: How are you?

Summer: Why are you looking at me like that? What’s wrong?

Kyle: Nothing. It’s good news.

Summer: Really? We haven’t had a lot of that lately. I don’t suppose that tucker’s moving out?

Kyle: Uh, no. No, not exactly.

Summer: Okay. Well, whatever it is, go ahead and tell me, I’m really tired. I wanna go to bed.

Kyle: I– I– I don’t know how to say this, or where to begin, so I’m just gonna say it. It’s your mom.

Summer: My mom? What about her?

Kyle: She’s alive. Mr. Clean magic eraser powers

Billy: I just tried to remind summer that she’s got a lot of family and friends that really care about her, that wanna help her through this grief.

Chelsea: She and daniel are really struggling. Good for you for trying to make her feel better.

[ Billy laughs softly ] You’re a really good man. You know that? I just got shivers.

Billy: The good kind?

Chelsea: The good kind.

Billy: That’s interesting. Me, too.

Chelsea: You sure it wasn’t a sugar rush?

[ Both laugh ]

Billy: No. It was all you. You know, when I walked in here and saw you and daniel working away, I could see your excitement, your energy.

[ Chelsea laughs ] You light up the room. And you bring that same heart to everything you do. Being a mother, a friend, movie night.

[ Chelsea laughs ] I just appreciate this slow dance that we’re doing. Taking this one step at a time to make sure that we do it right, it’s important. You bring me happiness. You give me hope and excitement for the future. We accept each other. And we support each other and that’s a really good thing. How could I not love being with you?

[ Chelsea chuckles ] That smile makes me think anything is possible.

[ Chelsea inhales sharply ] Hey. You okay?

Chelsea: Yeah. It’s no– it’s nothing.

Billy: Chelsea, you can talk to me.

Christine: [ Exhales ] Hey, thanks for meeting me.

Chance: What’s going on?

Christine: [ Sighs ] I have some crazy news for you.

Summer: So, daniel said that, uh, she contacted him? When? How?

Kyle: She called him a few days ago and they– they met at the lookout at the park. He said he couldn’t believe it when he saw phyllis standing in front of him.

Summer: Yeah. Can’t imagine. What I don’t understand is why– why– why would he tell you and not me?

Kyle: He didn’t want you to be upset that she chose to reveal herself to him and not you. He didn’t want you to be hurt.

Summer: Isn’t lying to me hurting me?

Kyle: Look, daniel only wanted to wait until we had real proof or that we could track phyllis down. Babe, I’m– I’m sorry she didn’t reach out to you.

Summer: Yeah, I’m sure that she had her reasons.

Kyle: Well, with– with any luck, you’ll be able to see her soon.

Summer: So, you believe daniel?

Kyle: Why– why– why would he lie about something like this? I– he saw phyllis, he spoke to her. He knew that stark was killed with a pair of scissors. How else would he know that if he hadn’t talked to phyllis?

Summer: Who else knows about this?

Kyle: My dad and michael.

Summer: [ Gasps ] They’re gonna go to the police! My mom’s gonna be arrested.

Kyle: No, daniel was adamant that we had to protect phyllis. That she was a victim in all of this. But my dad did take the information to christine.

Summer: What? Kyle, she hates my mom, she’s–

Kyle: No, no, we will do everything we can to protect phyllis. But there is one more thing. I told my mom. I thought she had a right to know. No. Hey, hey, hey, don’t shut down on me, summer. Don’t shut me out. Please. Tell me how you’re feeling.

Diane: There you are.

Jack: Has something happened?

Diane: Yes, it has. Kyle told me.

[ Jack sighs ] It should’ve been you, jack. Partial response:

Chelsea: I try to maintain this constant vigilance every day. I check in on myself. I do. I ask myself how I’m feeling. Am I okay? Am i not okay? And lately, I’ve– i’ve– I’ve been okay. But then it feels like every time i’m enjoying myself or if I’m actually happy, like when you look at me the way you’re looking at me right now, I ask myself if I deserve it.

[ Voice breaking ] I ask myself if it’s real. Um, or if I’m gonna screw it up.

[ Chuckles dryly ] And then I’m hit with this other thought. I almost wasn’t here for this. I almost wasn’t here for anything. For my son. And then I just get this rush of– of fear, billy, and I’m back on that roof and– and– and I’m alone and I’m scared. And I can feel the wind. And I can– I can feel how cold it was. And how easy it would be.

Billy: Chels. Hey, look at me. You are here.

Chelsea: I am.

Billy: You are here.

Chelsea: I am. I’m here because of you. And I’m– and I’m happy. I’m happy being here with you.

[ Exhaling deeply, sniffling ]

Billy: You okay? It’s a beautiful night. How about we go for a walk? Lit by the moon. Huh?

Chelsea: I’d like that.

Kyle: What are you thinking?

Summer: I don’t know what to think. I guess I’m scared to hope that my mom is really out there.

Kyle: Hey, you don’t have to be afraid, summer. Your mom is alive. Why would daniel tell me something that isn’t true?

Summer: Yeah. Why would he tell you? ‘Cause I’m not gonna let her disappear on us. I have some ideas about how to bring her home safely, so please just– just call me as soon as you get this.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

Chance: That’s one hell of a story.

Christine: Yeah. With zero actual evidence that phyllis is out there.

Chance: What do you make of it?

Christine: Wishful thinking. Deflection, a part of michael’s defense strategy. I don’t know.

Chance: [ Exhales ] Well, there is one real fact in all this: Stark was killed with scissors.

Christine: Obviously, there’s a leak in the department and michael took advantage of it.

Chance: Yeah.

Christine: Okay. Well, I’m just letting you know in case jack approaches you, which I have no doubt he will.

Chance: Well, I appreciate the heads-up. Desperate people do desperate things, huh?

Jack: I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I didn’t wanna give you hope without having the evidence we want to show the world that you are innocent.

Diane: I know you did it to protect me. Your intentions were in the right place.

Jack: Then I’m forgiven?

Diane: How can I be angry at a man I love so much?

Jack: I promise you, we are so close to ending this nightmare. Soon, soon you will be free and we will get married as we planned.

Diane: That’s all I want.

Jack: I am not going to give up until that happens. Phyllis put you in this mess. Come hell or high water, by god, she’s gonna get you out of it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Baby crying]

Sasha?

Sasha? Are you all right?

Well, you haven’t been in front of the cameras for quite a while. Looks like someone’s got a little bit of the jitters.

[Baby crying]

Crank the baby crying in sasha’s headset up to eight.

Got it.

[Dramatic music]

Come on, sasha. Hang in there. Hang in there.

Sasha, you don’t look so good.

What was I thinking? What do you mean?

Look, I get why you want to go on the rescue mission.

Oh, good, because as far as motives go, stopping a genocidal maniac is self-explanatory to me.

It’s one thing to go up against victor. It’s another thing to take on a virus which has an 80% kill rate.

I know. But there are worse odds. And you and I have faced those.

Were you thinking about your daughter? Were you thinking about noah? Were you thinking about emma? How about even me? I mean, you’re gonna run off and die with this guy. Shouldn’t you be putting your family first?

Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that i have prioritized anyone or anything above my family. Don’t do that. You would have done the exact same thing.

We’re not talking about me.

Ok, but you know that I’m right. You would do anything. You would risk everything for the woman that you love.

First I got to choose the woman.

Sorry I’m late. Really I am. I have work, and I can tell you all about it, but I know you don’t want to hear about it. What’s the occasion?

I know I did the right thing, but I need you to tell me that I did the right thing and I didn’t make A…

there she is.

Fool out of myself.

I’m so lookingforward to a drink.

[Laughs]

You want to tell me what’s going on?

Not really.

Where’s your handsome husband? I thought he was joining us.

He was, right up until he got called into the station on a case.

Ugh, that’s the trouble with law enforcement. Always on duty. He should become a criminal. They have very flexible schedules. Apparently.

Oh, well, I’ll suggest it when he retires.

Much though I’d like to celebrate with mac, I’m actually quite pleased that it’s just you and me. A girls’ night.

Yeah, honestly, me too. Now, I know what you’ve been up to, but what’s next? Are you back in port charles for good?

Uh, that’s the idea, if I’m wanted.

How am I supposed to get that much money together so quickly? It’s impossible.

There might be another way for you to repay your debt.

Venmo? Crypto? I mean, will you take a check? I can write you a check.

No. Let’s step away, shall we, and talk about this somewhere more private.

[Tense music]

[Knock at door]

Come in. Thanks for coming.

Thank yo u for calling meand asking me. We were interrupted at the hospital, and there’s still so much more I have to say.

I’m listening.

[Dramatic music]


No. No, thank you.

Ok. Well?

Well, like I was telling you at the hospital, I’ve been doing some soul searching, carly. And I realized that I have been acting from a place of fear and that fear has led me to make some poor decisions. I hurt people, most of all willow. And in that fear and jealousy, I blamed you for the distance between me and willow, and that was wrong. But I think it’s easier for me to hate you than accept the consequences of my own actions. I know it’s late. I understand that now. I’m so sorry.

Is that it?

I don’t have the money now, but I can get it.

Who’s that, your steno?

I was under the impression that you’re sasha’s guardian.

That’s true.

And as her guardian, you have complete control over sasha’s finances.

Right, but it’s a lot of money to move all at once. Sasha might have questions. But I suppose it’s not impossible. I just need to be subtle about it.

I understand your quandary. Availing yourself of sasha’s money to pay off your growing debts could put you in an awkward position, with sasha certainly, but legally as well. But like I said, there are other ways for you to make good. After all, money isn’t everything.

[Baby crying]

There’s a problem, I think, with my earpiece.

A problem? What kind of problem? I don’t hear anything in mine. What are you hearing, exactly?

Something is up with sasha.

Ok, maybe maxie pushed her too soon into this. You know, really, maybe she’s not ready.

No, that’s not it. Look, something’s wrong with her earpiece.

The deceptor is a portable home spa device for the woman on the go.

Louder, I want that baby wailing in her ear.

Ok.

You know what, forget the wailing. Just cut the sound, or I’m gonna start streaking.

You what?

Cut the sound now, or I’m gonna start streaking. By the way, it’s huge, the fcc fine, so cut the sound now.

[Dramatic music]

It’s easy to use and–

and just look at deceptor’s design. I mean, so much thought went into that.

Now, flora, I’m sure our viewers would really rather hear all about it from the face of deception herself. Go ahead, sasha. All eyes are on you.

What do you mean by that? Choose the woman?

You’re tired. It’s late. And I’ve kind of overstayed my welcome.

Well, you did that when you rang the bell. You can’t– this is so typical of you. You come barging in here, pick a fight with me just because you have something else on your mind. So what is it?

Holly has indicated that she wants to have a relationship with me.

Ok. Good. I know you care about her. What’s the problem?

The problem is… another woman.

Does this mean ethan’s safe?

Not really. But australia is familiar territory. He has to replenish his funds if he is going to–

pay back the people he stole from.

Make restitution.

Oh, is that what they’re calling it these days?

It’s not entirely his fault. He’s young. And both his parents have been known on occasion to avail themselves of things that aren’t necessarily theirs.

Case in point.

I may have given robert a slight ultimatum.

How slight?

I told him not to call me until he had decided between holly and me.

Shall we relocate?

Why?

I just thought this might be a little awkward.

Well, it’s only awkward if we make it so. And actually,if robert’s fond of diane, then I should take advantage of this opportunity to get to know her a little bit.

It’s early days for robert and me, but I’m not going to waste my time if he is in love with holly.

May we join you?

Hi. Yes.


First of all, haven, flora, and especially the viewers at home, I am so sorry. My earpiece was making this horrible noise. You want to know what it sounded like, haven? You know what, it’s not important. Once again, viewers, thank you so much for staying tuned in. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Well, don’t keep us in suspense, sasha. Tell us all about the deceptor.

The deceptor is a revolutionary new product. It’s the home spa device for the woman on the go.

Ooh. And how does it work? I’m dying to know. Right, haven?

Right, right.

It’s really simple. Would you like to be my model, flora?

Oh, I would love to.

I think you’re going to love the results.

[Soft music]

Of course, join us.

Actually, alexis, would you and felicia mind if I had a moment alone with ms. Sutton?

No, not at all.

Why don’t we order the second round?

Great idea. You know what I like.

Diane?

I have everything I need right here.

Well, all right. Ok. You can have my seat. Help yourself.

You think they need a referee?

Ms. Sutton–

please, holly.

Holly, of course. Now, you and I don’t know each other very well, but you strike me as a woman who is direct and to the point.

Guilty as charged.

So let’s lay our cards on the table, shall we?

They’re both brilliant, funny, amusing. While holly is electrifying, diane, well, there’s an ease about her. I can talk shop. Hell, I can talk anything.

And there’s little to no chance that you’d have to prosecute her in the next few months, whereas holly–

yeah. Well, you said that, not me.

Just ’cause you’re thinking it.

Mm. Yeah, well, I– what should I do here?

I don’t know. Maybe witness protection or something.

Come on. You’re being picky.

I don’t know what you want me to say. I mean, you’ve always managed to make your own decisions in the past.

Yeah, but this one’s kind of got me a bit twisted.

[Soft music] Diane has stated in no uncertain terms she will not compete for my attention.

Good for her.

And holly–

yes, I’m sure that she has no problem with competition.

[Sighs] Every time I see her face, it’s like I’m– like I’m home. Diane, she challenges me.

And holly doesn’t?

Well, yeah, she does, but it’s– it’s like, well–look, I come to you because you’re always honest with me, sometimes when I don’t want you to be. But what do I do here?

Well, that’s all we have time for tonight, so I would like to thank my special guests, flora gardens–

oh, always a pleasure, haven.

And the face of deception herself, sasha gilmore. So until next time, happy homes and warm hearts.

[Upbeat music]

And we’re out.

Well, that went great, sasha.

It did. I’m sorry to disappoint you. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers. I did it!

You sure did. You were amazing.

You did do it. You did do it. You did do it. You were so amazing, really. But you got to tell us what happened at the beginning of the segment.

Someone was piping a sound effect into my earpiece, a crying baby.

Oh, they did not. No, no.

I knew you did something to that poor girl’s earpiece, but a crying baby?

I did no such thing.

Oh, don’t you lie to my face, haven. Of all the rotten, lowdown, despicable things to do to a woman who lost a baby. I mean I thought the tweets were bad enough, but, I mean, to try to push poor sasha over the edge on live tv–

there was obviously a screw-up. I will find the culprit.

Oh. I think we’re looking at the culprit. And you know what else I think? Maybe I don’t want to be the number one seller on a show where these kind of mistakes happen. I quit!

Flora, wait. Those baby sneakers are not going to sell themselves.

Look, I’m ok. Yes, I had a second when I thought history was repeating itself, I was imagining it.

It’s horrible. It must have been terrifying.

It was. But then I can’t explain it, but I knew that the sound coming through my earpiece was real. It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t liam. I knew that I was being manipulated and that I could keep going.

Ms. Gilmore, I’m really sorry. There’s just one more caller, and they are insisting on talking to you about the deceptor. Can we patch her through?

Oh, wow, wow, wow. You know, you must be as morally bankrupt and deranged as your boss to think that sasha would trust you, or this show, or anybody here anymore.

Lucy, it’s ok. I can handle it. Patch it through.

Hey. No stunts. Do you hear me? No, ok.

It’s not a stunt.

You swear no stunts?

Yes, yes. Ok. Yeah. Ok. You’re live.

This is sasha.

– Sasha?

Sasha gilmore?

It’s me. What can I do for you?

– You’re back. I’d heard your baby had died and then your husband died. Such a tragedy for a young person like yourself.

Yes. It was a tragedy. But thanks to the support of my family and friends, I am doing much better.

– Isn’t that a miracle?

It is. And you know what else is a miracle? A new device we call the deceptor.

I know better than to think that you would accept my apology.

If you were me, would you accept your apology?

You know what I would do, carly? I would at least acknowledge it.

You want acknowledgment, a blue ribbon for self-awareness? You talk about what you want from willow, but you don’t talk about what you want for willow. Now, me, I want willow to be safe, happy, and healthy. Can you say the same?


and willow pulls through, I want my daughter to have a happy, long, healthy life. That’s all I want, and… even if I’m not part of it.

I almost believe you.

But if there is a way that I can be part of it, if there’s a way that I can repair our relationship, I’m just telling you that i am willing to do anything.

Nina, you just don’t get it, do you? You just don’t get it.

Get what?

The more you push, the more you drive people away. And what do you mean, repair your relationship? What relationship? What is there to repair?

You’re right. When I first met willow, when she was charlotte’s teacher, I made her life miserable, I did. And I should not have done that, even if she wasn’t my daughter. But when I found out that she was mine, I tried and I’m trying to heal our relationship. But of course, that’s after I scorched the earth ten times over. And we all know that. And that’s why…

[Soft music] In hindsight, I’m relieved that she had you, carly, because willow needed a mother, and I couldn’t be that for her.

But you could. And you did. And for that, I am truly thankful.

You don’t waste any time. I like that.

Who wants to go first?

May I?

Please.

I apologize for kissing robert in his office. Obviously, we had no idea you were there.

And by that, I shall infer that you know. All right. Robert and I had been on exactly one date. And I don’t ask for exclusivity until well into the second. As such, my relationship with robert, whatever it may be, is still in the nascent stage, so there’s no apology necessary.

Well, still, it wasn’t appropriate.

Well, that’s between you and robert. Here’s where I stand on things. And I have told this to robert as well. I will not compete with another woman for a man’s attention.

Fair enough. And you should know that i have strong feelings for robert.

And you have told robert of these feelings?

Why hold back? I mean, robert and I have been dancing around each other for 30 years.

And you believethat robert has these feelings for you as well. That’s what you’re trying to say, isn’t it?

Robert and holly are two of my oldest friends. I just want what’s best for them.

Yeah, I want what’s best for diane.

Of course you do, but you know, with holly, she knows what she wants or what’s next.

You sound like you don’T. That doesn’t sound like you.

Well, I’m not exactly lost and aimless.

Oh, I am. Trust me. It’s not fun.

Well, actually, I’m looking for a new project, something I can get excited about, kind of like with you and “the invader.” I mean, you’re on a mission to serve the community and make real positive change.

That was the plan from the start.

Not now?

Well, it’s still the plan. It’ll always be the plan. If I’m going to be perfectly honest with you, “the invader” actually isn’t what I wanted it to be.

You were just amazing. You know, you seized the day. You beat them at their own game. I’m so, so, so happy.

Good news, ladies. The deceptor is flying off the shelves.

Of course it is because it’s a wonderful product. But also, you know, pain sells. But you already knew that, didn’t you? Listen, you wimpy little weasel, you and haven, and “home and heart,” you’re going to make this right. You hear me? You are going to make this right!

Well, well, well, cody bell. What are you, a big fan of the “home and heart” shopping channel?

How else could I add to my porcelain cat collection?

You didn’t see those inflammatory tweets that the show had people post?

I do not understand. What are these tweets you speak of?

I saw you talking to that pa. You got her to stop that sound effect.

If you say so.

Right. Well, anyway, we’re gonna go celebrate at the savoy. You in?

I want to pull out haven’s hair. If I had any idea this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have put you through it ever. But you did…

I got a thing. Next time.

Your loss.

But hey, make sure sasha has fun. She deserves it.

[Soft music]

You have options. There are things I value more than money.

Such as?

Assets, of which you have many.

Not really. I mean, I guess I could finally unload my house back in bridgeport.

I’m referring to your connections.

Connections? You think I have connections?

Don’t sell yourself short. You may hold knowledge of certain business dealings, certain arrangements that could prove useful to me and my organization.

Business dealings? Oh, you want the skinny on what goes on at deception because I can– wait. Are you talking about my cousin sonny?


I can’t tell you what to do.

Well, tell me what not to do. That’s the next best thing.

Um, I don’t know. I mean a new person is always very exciting, whereas an old love is kind of comforting.

Holly and I certainly know each other inside and out.

Yes, you do.

On the other hand, diane takes the law very seriously, and you do also.

And holly looks upon it at best a challenge, at worse an obstacle.

It’s very exciting though, isn’t it?

I’m back to square one.

Ok. I mean, I can totally understand why you don’t know how to make this decision because you never thought that you would ever be in a position like this, right?

No, I didn’T. But for what it’s worth, I’m not surprised. You’re quite the catch. You do have your moments, you know, rare as they are.

Oh, I got to go. I got–

are they just quite–

tell what’s-his-face goodbye.

You mean good night.

Yeah, that too.

[Sighs]

[Soft music]

I thought he’d never leave.

My god.

Robert and I fell in love decades ago. And those feelings never went away, certainly not for me, and I don’t think for robert either. But to answer your question, in typical robert scorpio fashion, he has neither confirmed nor denied.

Well, good to know that’s his mo.

Exactly. And I wanted you to know this because– and I realize this is going to sound patronizing.

But you’re gonna say it anyway.

I don’t want you to get hurt.

[Laughs] Well, thank you for your concern, but, really, I’ll be fine. As I said to robert, I have no intention on going to war over a man, especially one who, at this stage, is still just a friend.

And you should remain friends. I would be completely comfortable with that.

Would you? Well, that’s good to know. That’s very generous. So let’s say I bow out, and you and robert pick up right where you left off.

The ideal situation for me.

Yes. So here’s what i don’t understand. What makes you so confident that your relationship will work out this time?

The news that I want to report is just a fraction of the news that needs to be reported. And there’s administrative and economic issues. Well, “t he invader” may not beexactly what you envisioned when you started there, but I mean, it’s become a respected publication. And that’s because of your leadership.

Thank you. I really do appreciate that perspective.

Am I wrong?

I think you’re very kind. I spend most of my time finding advertisers, managing investors, managing staff. And to be perfectly honest, it’s a little disappointing that my dream for “the invader” just really hasn’t entirely come true.

Yet. But if anybody can make it happen, alexis, it’s you.

N’neka, your best bubbly, ok? We’re celebrating.

Ok, I promise. I promise you I was very, very polite when I cornered the “home and heart” producer. I just said russell, russell, russell, I mean, intentional infliction of emotional distress, et cetera, et cetera, lawsuit, lawsuit. Guess what. We ended up with five more spots for deception– primetime.

That’s amazing, lucy.

Of course, comes with one condition, mine, not theirs.

Ok. What is it?

I want you to be deceptor’s spokeswoman.

Ok. I’ll help with willow.

Oh, my god. Thank you so much. That’s more than I even dared to hope. Of course, we don’t want to do anything to make willow feel uncomfortable, right? So I was thinking that maybe you could set up a phone call.

Nina.

Then if that goes well, carly, we could maybe–

ok, stop, please. I want to be really clear here. I will help you with willow by supporting whatever decision she makes for her family. If she decides to let you in, I promise you I will not stand in the way. But if willow decides she wants nothing to do with you, I won’t advocate for you.

[Soft music]

I should have known that you weren’t going to help.


I don’t know anything about sonny’s business.

But you’re close.

No, not really. Sonny doesn’t like me that much.

Even so, you might know more about his business than you realize.

I’m telling you I don’T. Trust me. That’s asking for trouble that neither of us wants.

I don’t understand why you seem so bothered by the suggestion. After all, it’s one way for you to settle your ever-increasing debt.

I can get the money. I just need a few more days.

You have until tomorrow. Noon.

That’s not enough time.

I grow tired of making allowances for someone who won’t take a gift when offered.

Oh, listen. I am so thankful for your patience. Really.

Perhaps I’ve been too patient. Noon tomorrow. And if you can’t pay, perhaps sasha will.

[Tense music]

Thank you both for being so supportive.

Never doubted you for a second.

I did. I mean–sorry. If I’m being honest, I did actually have some doubts. I was fearing the worst, but then–I don’t know. You just pulled it together, and you became this magnificent creature that I knew you could be.

Well, thank you regardless. Honestly. I don’t know what I would have done if you two weren’t there.

Well, that’s very nice of you to say, but I think you would have made it. I mean, even when you got distracted, you weren’t falling apart.

Mm-mm, you got right back on your feet, and you just did it. There was no stopping you.

Right. I mean, you kept your focus. You kept the segment going. And you really stuck that landing like a boss.

You know what, you’re right. I feel more like myself than I have in a really long time.

Ok, that’s good, really. Just don’t rush it too much. I mean, if you want to, then you know me, I say go for it, pedal to the metal. But just pace yourself.

Maybe it’s the rush talking, but now I’m wondering, maybe it’s time that I get back in the driver’s seat. What do you think, brook lynn?

I think you know when you know. But from where I’m standing, absolutely.

Ah, yummy. Perfect timing. Please, ladies.

Oh, my god. It can’t be that late. I told maxie that I was going to stop by her place and bring her some soup. Anyway, thank you so much for the chat. I mean, you’ve really given me a lot to think about.

Same here.

I cannot believe that I came here groveling and begging for your forgiveness and help. I never should have listened to drew.

Drew? What the hell did drew say?

He said that I should come here and acknowledge my mistakes and be honest. But you, carly, you don’t listen.

Nina, no one can save your relationship with willow but you.

But I’m standing here asking you how.

Then stop. Stop. Stop pushing through every boundary that willow sets a million miles an hour and have some patience, patience for a young girl battling cancer. I mean, all you do is put your needs ahead of willow’s time and time again.

You’re such a hypocrite.

Maybe I am. But maybe I’m not. But we both know right now I’m right. I’m right about you. And I’m right about willow. You want to be her mother, you’re going to have to do it on her terms.

That is an annoyingly good question.

I know.

Ok, so the reason that things between me and robert are going to work out this time is that, this time, there are no obstacles.

What about the fact that he’s a district attorney and you lead, shall we say, a very colorful life?

So there’s one obstacle.

Doesn’t it concern you that,despite the rich tapestry that is your history with robert, at present, the two of you currently reside in completely different worlds?

I’m not going to apologize for the way I live my life.

No one’s asking you to apologize, holly. Quite the contrary. I think you should write a book about your escapades. But has the universe really been working overtime to keep you and robert apart, or is it more likely that things have not worked out because they can’t and probably never will?


Deceptor sales are off the charts.

Oh, even without a total meltdown. Well done, us.

Oh, my god. Haven de havilland.

This is a closed set.

No, I know. I almost just ran across it during the broadcast, naked.

Oh, you did what?

Mm-hmm.

That’s how i got your pa to cut off that cute sound effect you were using to gaslight sasha.

Ok, show’s over pal, so why don’t you move–

you know how many bones are in this hand? You want to find out?

What do you want?

Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever threaten my friend sasha again with a stunt like that, your sales figures will be the least of your problems.

[Tense music]

Honey, are you threatening me?

Why yes, ma’am, I am. And you don’t want to see me make good on any of my threats.

N’neka. Is ms. Wu still in the club?

She is. Do you want me to tell her you’re looking for her?

No, no. Thank you.

It’s been a really long time since I allowed myself to trust my instincts. Now that’s all going to change. I think it’s time to let gladys off the hook and end the guardianship. I’m ready to take the reins again.

Hear, hear.

[Glass clink]

I’ll give you this much, carly. You didn’t drive the wedge between me and willow. But once you saw it was there, you didn’t hesitate to take advantage.

If by take advantage, you mean care for the young woman who my son is in love with, the young woman that you abused relentlessly, yeah, ok, I took advantage of her.

And to think I felt guilty about–

guilty about what?

About blaming you forthe estrangement from willow when it’s clear that you will do everything in your power to keep us apart.

Nina, you can lash out at me all you want. It doesn’t make what I said any less true.

Good luck with the sec, carly.

[Tense music]

I don’t think I’ve spoken out of turn, have I?

Not at all. I appreciate your frankness.

Well, then what’s left to say except, you’re welcome? And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to call it a night.

Not on my account.

Oh, no, no, no. I have to be in court tomorrow morning. Who knows, maybe one day I will get to defend you.

I would trust my freedom to no one else.

Nor should you.

How’d it go?

Not half bad. I actually think I kind of like her.

Oh, that’s nice. Why don’t you sleep on it? See how you feel in the morning.

Listen, I’m not too proud to admit that holly sutton has some very interesting qualities. I almost feel sorry for robert having to decide between us.

Really?

Almost.

So what did he want?

He’s having a really hard time making a decision. And he wanted me to make it for him.

Did you?

No. I didn’t, not this time.

We ll, while you were solvingyour ex’s life problems, your current, which is me.

Oh, yes. I remember him.

Was putting the finishing touches on dinner. And not to brag–

as if.

But it’s the greatest amatriciana ever made. Even I’m impressed.

[Gasps] And you’re not one to be impressed.

Are you hungry?

I could eat.

[Soft music]

Ms. Sutton. I’m so glad to see youback in port charles.

I’m glad to be back, especially since there was a moment where I didn’t think I’d be back here, or anywhere else for that matter, ever again.

Since you’re here safe and sound, I wonder if you’d be open to doing a little more business. Our last venture proved fruitful to us both, did it not?

It certainly did.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Call you keep moving. I’m not expecting anything.

Is this a joke? Not at all. You have no idea how sweet this gig is. What delivering mail? Yeah. Huh? Keeps me plugged in with everything in the outside world and don’t tell anyone. Every now and then I just end up with an extra magazine or two. Hmm. Yeah. Well, like I said, uh, I doubt there’s anything in there for me.

You little faith. Now lucky. Lucky what just happened to show up today? And judging by the childlike handwriting seems like it might actually be from your darling daughter. Hand it over. Hey, what is the magic word? Hmm. Let’s see. Hand it over. I’ll rip your throat out. No, that’s nine words, but who am I to nitpick?

Oh.

Well, the least you can do is share what my little niece has to say. Um, dear mom, I have the most amazing news. Daddy and Chloe are definitely not getting back together. That’s good. Right. Oh, okay. Um, I, I know for sure because I heard daddy tell grandma and grandpa that Chloe just moved in with Sander Cook.

Yes, yes.

Oh, yes.

Did you do that? Of course I did. What the hell happened? Someone broke into the apartment. Oh my God. Are you sure? Yeah. Stay behind me, Chloe. I’ve got this. Who’s there? Show yourself.

My hero.

We have a special delivery for Dr. Marena Evans after the huge meal we had at the pub tonight. Oh, come on. There is always room for strawberries and whipped cream. Oh my gosh.

Hmm. Did you whip that cream yourself? Well, I did. I have gotten to be an expert at it. You have indeed. Yeah. You’re also an expert. Something else I like.

Thank you, ma’am. Do you have room for one more of those?

Brace yourself.

Oh. Oh, I miss you my love. Keith, my God, when I thought I had lost you, but you know what? I’m more looking back. We’re here now together, and to me that is nothing short of America. Well, I totally agree with that. You know, even when I, I got away from Megan, I just. I don’t know. I didn’t think that I would really make it out of there alive.

I didn’t think that I would. I would make it back to you my love, my husband, but here I am now, thanks to Dimitri von Lonesome.

Wait, so you’re, you’re holding another hostage. I see your hearing is still intact. You’re intellect now you’re bluffing cuz we searched every inch of the ship and all we found were you, Kate, and your henchman, they have names. You know the point is there’s nobody else here now who said anything about my hostage being on this trip.

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

It just doesn’t make any sense mean Kate Roberts is all the leverage that you needed. You could have ransom to her for a small fortune. There are more important things in this world than money. Oh, but I can’t imagine someone like you could ever understand that someone, someone like me would be talking about a commoner.

Is that for your information? I was holding onto Kate until I had all my ducks in a row. And then right before you rudely interrupted our dinner party, I received a phone call that I was expecting. All right, so let me guess. You have all your ducks in a row now Indeed. Which is quite fortunate for me.

Less so for you. Father say, I believe you, who’s a mystery hostage all in due time. But for now, I would be more worried about what I want in exchange. I’m guessing full immunity for starters, but I’m not stopping there.

All right. Well, tell me that Von Leischner three. Didn’t hurt you?

Well, I can’t say it was pleasant being his guest, but, um, you know, the, it’s, it’s in the past and the more time he spends in my mind rent free, the more he wins. So, so tell me about Bo. Steve said that he’s in a coma. Yeah. And we’re not sure when, or. Yeah, you’ll come out of it. I’m so sorry. Hope’s moving him to a long-term care facility.

Kyle’s the family taking that. Well, we’re doing our best. Kayla’s back in Salem and Sierra’s on our way back home to Ben and the baby, and actually saw Sean right before you came. He is still a wreck. Because he blames himself. Yeah. And I reminded him that we all thought Bo was dangerous. I mean, hell, at the time we thought he had shot and killed you.

Well, I mean, I thought he was going to, and until I managed somehow to get through to him, how well I reminded him of his family and of hope. But honestly, I, I don’t think it was until I called him Megan’s lap dog that he honestly just snapped out of it. I sure he hated that a lot. Oh, yeah. My brother hated taking orders from anyone.

Megan Hathaway was certainly no exception. Oh, great. A letter about two people I don’t know and couldn’t care less about. May I continue? Sister? Hmm? Be my guest. You all right? Oh, I hate seeing Daddy. So sad now that he broke up with Chloe Lane because I think he’s really lonely. No, but I’m also really glad he’s not with that mean woman anymore because I hate her.

Is that okay? Mommy? But I’m also glad

Oh yes, sweet sweetheart. That is. Super. Okay.

Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Don’t mind. No, no, no, no. It’s Please, please. Sorry. Wait. Don’t go. Fine. Are you sure? No, no, no. Nevermind us. We’ll get ourselves a room. This is your home too. Not much longer, actually. I look we’ve imposed on you long enough. No, no. We love having you here. Well, you are gonna be stuck with Rachel and me a little while longer because we haven’t found a place yet, but I have some leads.

Yeah, well, I, I know that you think this is what you have to do, but we are gonna miss having you here. Was this Hell yeah, kid. Well, I’m not gonna be that far. I actually planned to be right across the street, but Xander Cook, he seemed to have beaten me to the perfect department and it was also a nice way to find out that.

Chloe is moving in with him. Oh. Oh no. I’m so sorry. Sorry. Look, son. Son, you have pulled out all the stops to try to fix this thing with Chloe here, so maybe it’s time you just start forgiving yourself and try to move on. Dad, I’m trying. Chloe is too. I just, I really hate the idea of her moving in with.

That shmuck, why would this suddenly fall? Oh, I don’t know. It wasn’t hung right. I hung it myself. I remember, and I remember distinctly telling you that you needed a wall anchor for that picture and you insisting that you did not. Chloe, I know to hang a picture that foot was perfectly secure.

Okay. I think that was the patron saint irony. You sure about that? What I, I was making a joke, Sandra. No, I’m not finding this funny. Chloe, I’m starting think this place might be.

I am trying to think of somebody. That Chloe could end up with that’s worse than Xander Cook. And I’m, I’m drawing a blank. Just because she’s staying there does not mean she’s going to fall for him. Doesn’t mean she won’t either. I mean, a little while ago she couldn’t stand to even look at the guy, and now suddenly she’s okay with moving in with him.

And it’s not like I can say she’s too smart to fall for a guy like him because look at Sarah Horton, very intelligent woman who barely escaped that idiot’s clutches. Right? We’ve got a good point there. And the worst part, dad is. He’s not only a loser, but he’s a dangerous loser. You know, nobody knows that better than me.

Well, I know a little something about that. Seen as how he shot my two favorite people in the world who happen to be standing in this room right now, survive. Thank God. Yeah. I don’t think he should get a pass though for that. Just because we didn’t happen to die doesn’t mean he’s not responsible for heinous crime.

And by the way, not everyone was as lucky. This place haunted. It certainly was in the realm of possibility, isn’t it? Yeah. Only if you believe in ghosts. Yeah. Well, I’m from Scotland. Whole, whole-blood countries haunted lots and bogs, all covered in fog. If you ever seen any of those spooky castles up in the highlands, Hmm.

Can’t say that I have, but this apartment is not an ancient castle. Yeah. But sometimes ghost don’t just haunt places. They haunt people. Okay. So who’s haunting us? Not us. Me. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking Susan Knight.

Well, enjoy your night, sis. I’ve got a stack of stolen magazines to entertain me. Mm-hmm. Bye-bye. All right, Rachel, give mommy the glory details about Chloe and. Center, I would give you all the deeds. Mommy. But Danny changed the subject and then they all started talking about Boat Brady instead. Hmm. What?

What, what about Phil? What’s it to you? Oh, come on. Tell me what she said about Bo. I thought you weren’t interested in what my daughter had to say. Tell me what she said about Bo dammit. How the magic word is the word that you couldn’t manage. Please. Hmm. Find, since you’re curious. Oh, let’s see. Gets a little jumbled here, but, uh, well, it’s.

Seems everyone is upset because hope had broken through the bow and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self. Mo son Am and, and and what shot him? Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. You see Commander, some people pray to the Lord above to get what they want, but I haven’t had very much luck in that regard.

So instead, I prefer to always be prepared just like the Boy Scouts are. Yes, I knew you would understand me, and I think you’ll find that in this case, I have not fallen short. Meaning, meaning. That I am not the only one being persecuted by the so-called powers that be. Therefore, I am not seeking one but two blanket immunity grants and if I don’t get them are you assure you commander, my second hostage will soon have an appointment at the Pearl Gates.

Well, I was expected everybody was very happy to see that you’re alive. Well, no. Hmm everyone. Cuz I think Maggie was kind of disappointed. Oh, come on, come on. Maggie’s got a good heart. She wouldn’t want any harm to come to you. Well, maybe for your sake. So what do you think? Oh, sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish and make me see sick.

It’s gonna be so hard to adjust to, oh my God, you have been to hell and back. Yeah. Well with a pit stop in heaven. Yeah. Well that means you got a whole lot of pampering to have you. Okay. I’m not sure where to start. Bubble bath or in room spot treatment. Oh, you know neither of those really because, well, Dimitri wanted to whine and dine me, so he let me take a break from the fish and the spruce ups.

Okay, so that means you’ve eaten too? I have. Okay. So he is only need spa. Don’t need eat. I’m kind of running outta uh, ideas here. Okay. Um, well, maybe I could help because I do have something important to ask of you.

You see this naked finger here? Mm-hmm. Oh,

did you fix it for me?

Wait, that was a joke, right? About Susan Banks. You don’t actually think that she, well, she returned from the dead and is haunting me. Honestly, I’ve been suspecting it for a while and. I was responsible for her death. After all. Listen, I understand all too well with that. Feels like being responsible for someone losing their life and you never get over that.

Yeah. But in your case, I think you should get over it. Chloe in that Alpha Deo, he was a monster. Susan wasn’t. She was sweet and. She died a horrible death. And that’s on me.

Look, I’m not defending what you did, but at some point you have to move on with your life and, and just learn from it. Learn from it. Yeah. That’s what I’ve been trying so hard to do, Chloe. I mean, believe it or not, to learn from my grievous mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow trouble always seems to find me or I find it.

I get desperate for money usually, and then some opportunity arises before I know what’s happening. I’m neck deep in something illegal. And it spirals outta control until something very, very bad happened by Susan Banks meeting a fiery death in that car crash. But wasn’t Ava Vitali behind the wheel when Susan died?

Maybe Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if I hadn’t kidnapped her, if I hadn’t. If you hadn’t been weak. If I hadn’t taken Ava’s money, if I hadn’t grabbed Susan like I did, Susan would still be alive and.

I still be married to Sarah.

See, you see? Yeah. Maybe this place isn’t Haunty, but I,

I would never condone. Sanders’s actions, but he wasn’t the one responsible for Susan’s death. It was Ava that drove her off that cliff. Yeah. But he started the whole series of events by kidnapping her and that’s just his latest in his long list of crimes, including switching Rachel at birth. He never takes responsibility for these things.

Of course not. He was had in common with his Uncle Vic. Yeah. Yeah, he does. I keep thinking about Chloe being under the same roof with Xander, and I just wanted to myself, when is his next scheme? How’s he gonna drag Chloe into it? That’s all he does. Anybody who’s naive enough to, to get involved with him, I think the bastard belongs in prison.

Yeah, this is some evil twist of fate if you wanna have this ridiculous prison in both. H H How is he? He’s not that again. No, no. He’s uh, he’s in a coma. Good news, huh? How is that Good news. Comas aren’t so bad. I’ve been at a few myself and personally, I always wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Well, I’m glad you’re finding this so humorous after everything that I went through to save him all those years, keeping him alive and. Protecting him. So glad we could be together. Hey, it’s okay. Take a deep breath.

I know he would’ve loved me again. I was so close.

Come on, listen. Um, all we have is a secondhand account from the Eve’s dropping child. Lu, you know, the mail takes forever in here, so who knows, Bo, he might be alright now

and he might not be. Hello, Kristen. You don’t get it. Hey, it is the whole reason that I came up with a plan to get myself outta here in the first place,

us Yumi, to get us outta here. Suddenly. It’s feeling more important now than ever. So sis, where do we stand

enough with the games? Dimitri, who are you trying to help with this COI deal?

You really can’t figure it out, huh? After all these clues, you certainly know her well. Her. Why do you think I’ve been enjoying this so much? Yes, her, your old pal and mentor,

Megan Hathaway.

I am sorry. I’m sorry, I, I come in here and I, I interrupt your romantic moment, and then I proceed to put all my baggage on you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know that we are always here to listen, son. Well, I’m done. I’m done. I’m gonna go in there and I’m gonna kiss my little girl goodnight, and I’m gonna think about all the good things that happened in my life.

You too. That’s the top of my list right back at you. Oh, we love you sweetie. I love you too, but seriously, seriously, thanks for always being there for me. You always are as you are for us. Goodnight honey.

When it comes to love, that kid has had nothing but better luck. I know. Let’s hope that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe’s out the picture. Although she would break outta jail and be right back here in his orbit.

I can’t believe you. The love of my wife is in a coma, and you managed to make it all about yourself Are you’re the one who brought up this mystery plan. It’s not a mystery to me. Then why don’t you tell me what it is? I did as you asked. I kept what you told me about Bo to myself. Yeah, well who cares about that?

I managed to blab it all to Andrew Donovan anyway. Well, that is not my problem. You promised me my freedom, dammit, and you will have it. My deal is very much in the works. We simply needed to get things organized. Get things sorted out,

who is getting things sorted out and organized? But Kristin, I, let me guess. You’re gonna tell me later. No, sis, you’re gonna tell me right now. Who do you have on the outside? Why does that make a difference to you? Because then it makes it real. I need to know what’s real fine. His name is Dimitri von Leischner.

Wait, the guy who tried to blow up the world with a Almanian peacock, you know another Dimitri Von Leischner.

You remember Megan, don’t you? From what I heard, you were doing her bidding for a better half of a year. Yeah, I wasn’t, I wasn’t right up here. I was brainwashed. Oh, that’s a convenient excuse, considering you’re just killing people left and right in pursuit of those prisms. I’m ashamed of what I did. Huh.

And I guess it’s that shame that made you hesitate when you had Hope Brady, in your crosshairs. Or did true love for your Its ugly hand.

It’s our subject. I totally get it. Well, for what it’s worth, you have terrible taste in women. Megan Hathaway is in prison and that’s where she’s staying. He’s so sure about that. I might not have Kate to get what I want, but trust me, I still have another race of my sleeve.

So you took your rings off? Yeah, I did because I was desperate. And I made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchman. I’d give him my rings if he had given me a phone call to you. He never called me. No, I did call you. He just didn’t go through. The son of a bitch kept my ring anyway. But you got him back. Yeah.

And Chad and the others came to rescue me. I wanted to get the hell off that boat, but I was not going without those rings. So you carried these rings around this whole time? I did. I mean, I was going to put it on, but then I stopped because you put those rings on my finger the first time and I wanted you to put ’em back on for the last time.

Well, it was my honor then it will be my honor now.

I thought you could use this. Hopefully it’ll help you go back to sleep. Thank you. And I’m so sorry if I freaked you out earlier with all that. I think you’re right. Pictures fell down because I didn’t hang correctly. I don’t truly believe that the. Ghost of Susan Banks is haunting our apartment or me.

Well, that’s good. And I’m glad you’ve calmed down. I’m, I’m just sorry that you’re so tortured by what happened to her. Thank you. I just hope you don’t regret sharing a flat with a cranky sleep deprived scaredy cat. Well, I can be a scaredy cat myself at times, and I can definitely be cranky. I’m sure you’ve noticed And sleep deprived.

We shouldn’t make a habit of ending up here in the middle of the night like this. I mean, together, you’re right. We shouldn’t.

You need to go to your bed and you need to go to your bed.

Perfect fit just like us. Mm-hmm.

You know, I was thinking about you running out of ideas for what we could do while we’re here in this hotel room. You know, either I could take a spa or you know, we could go to dinner, but would you mind me making a suggestion? That’s what we could do. Please do. Well, I don’t have you

if you need to get that. No. Scam, likely. Where were we? Right here?

Persistent. What? Who is it? Paul the hell’s he doing calling so late? Everything is all right. Hey kid,

I met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and of course he raised go hang under an assumed name at that time, I S A H and Kyle Graham. Yeah. And he was with Bo X Billy Reed, and she had no idea of his true identity. Ah, Dimitri had her really fooled, and she’s a shrewd woman. So are you, and yet you managed to lose a Sapphire necklace when you tried to escape from him, how do you know so much?

Dimitri told me everything really.

What exactly is the nature of your connection to that Euro trash charmer. Hmm. Did he need something to fill the hours when you were feeling lonely because you couldn’t get oh to love you?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Out. Oh my gosh. Did you connect with him at a evil, your social network? Listen to you. You are so judgmental.

Is that any way to talk about your nephew?

Nephew?

You’re gonna need a whole Desis if you want to get immunity for you and Megan, and that may still not be enough. See, I know what you, uh, I know what you tried to do in Zurich. Threatening the world with, um, devastation if they didn’t pay you off. I ain’t gotta admit, it’s a pretty good plan, a deranged plan.

Mm. And Megan’s the only person I know who’s more deranged than you are. The ISA will never let either of you walk out. Ah, yes. The I S A, my adopted home for so many years. Well, don’t you worry about them, Michaels. They’re not gonna stand it my way. No. On the contrary, they are going to insist that I’m granted my freedom.

Wow. Okay. Um, I hope that tea helps. Tea. Yes. All right. Thank you for that. Really thoughtful of you, and I’m sorry about all that nonsense earlier with the patient. It’s all good. Have a good night.

You know, I, uh, I assumed they would never see those rings again. Yeah, I figured they were, uh, in the urn with your ashes.

What did you do with that urn? The ashes anyway. Well, I brought that urn back to the pub, set it on the end of the bar. It, uh, made me feel close to you. Okay. Um, no fence with that. You know, that sounds a little bit like Anna Damir. Well, I wasn’t actually carrying the urn all around town. Yeah. Well, okay.

Please don’t tell me that you were talking to the ashes. Oh, no, you were a little, uh, look, that’s, that’s a weird part. Weird part is you talk to me too. Excuse me. I heard you. Alright. I heard your voice. You asked me to help you. To help you? Mm-hmm. You think I’m crazy? No, actually, I, no, actually I don’t, I mean, it’s sounds weird, but it, it seems somewhat familiar, you know, as if.

While Megan had us there on the deep freeze, like maybe I was reaching out to you. I mean, do you think that’s possible? Look, I’m never gonna deny the connection you and I have, but the only thing that matters right now is that you are here in my arms. For real.

I dunno. I just. It doesn’t seem real. It seems like. It seems like a dream. Well, it’s a dream. I don’t ever wanna wake up.

I’ll keep dreaming. Dimitri, why would the ISA want you to be free? Because Shane Donovan runs the organization, and I can assure you he’s gonna be very eager to give me exactly what I want. In fact, I would expect that he will personally see to it that Megan and I are. Both set free.

Dimitri, my nephew. I don’t understand. Oh, for goodness sake, do I really need to spell this out for you? Dimitri? One Ner. He’s my son.

Okay, Paul. Listen, thanks for calling. I’m on top of it. I’ll, uh, I’ll keep you posted. Yeah, love you too. What’s going on? You sound worried? Yeah, I am. So is Paul. He wants me to reach out to Shane. Hi, what’s wrong? Andrew Donovan is, uh, he’s missing, don’t know for how long, but apparently no one’s heard from him for quite some time.

Now, why the hell would Shane Donovan give you what you want? Well, he’s not really gonna have much of a choice unless he never wants to see his precious offspring again. Offspring. Yes. With all these clues, you really can’t figure it out. Come on, shame on you. Michaels

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Liam should be concerned about hope. What do you mean?

Steffy: I know you think I’m overreacting, but… I’ve seen some things, and then this trip comes up.

Finn: The meeting in san francisco is for hope for the future. It’s work-related.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. They almost got stuck there, overnight.

Finn: But that’s not thomas’s fault or hope’S.

Steffy: Finn, if they had to spend the night… I was concerned about what could happen.

Finn: But not because of your brother? So, you’re not worried about thomas? You’re worried about hope?

Steffy: Yeah.

Hope: Well, thank you. I didn’t realize how much I needed that.

Thomas: Yeah, just let me know if it starts bugging you again.

Hope: [ Clears throat ] Well, we’ll probably be landing soon, so we should get ready. Oh, sorry.

Thomas: There’s nothing to be sorry about.

Hope: I didn’t mean to do that. [ Clears throat ]

Thomas: Hey,

Hope: Mm.

Thomas: Everything’s gonna be all right.

Finn: Liam shouldn’t be concerned about thomas, it’s hope he needs to worry about? I– what could possibly even make you think that?

Steffy: Okay, this has to be just between us.

Finn: Yeah, of course.

Steffy: Nobody can know.

Finn: Babe, who am I even gonna tell? I’m not exactly gossiping about the fashion industry in between patients.

Steffy: I– I get that. I just don’t want the wrong person finding out.

Finn: Honey, I– okay. I promise I’m not gonna tell a soul.

Steffy: Uh, I walked in on something. Hope and thomas. It was a– it was an intimate moment. Eye contact, touching.

Finn: Oh, my god. So, what– thomas was touching hope? He was coming on to her?

Steffy: No, it was the other way around.

Finn: Wait, what?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Hope was coming on to thomas?

Thomas: Look, hope, I know just how devoted you are to liam and your whole family.

Hope: Well, the thing is, I grew up watching my mom–

Thomas: Hey, no, no, no, stop. Stop doing that. You’re not your mother, okay? You’re gonna be with liam for the rest of your life.

Trying vapes

to quit smoking

Finn: So, you said touching?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Okay, so, what does that mean exactly? Like, what did you witness between hope and thomas? Was– I mean, it was at the office. It couldn’t have been that bad. We’re not talking about something, like, completely inappropriate? Are we?

Steffy: They were fully clothed. But, yeah, it was inappropriate.

Finn: And they didn’t know you were there?

Steffy: Not at the time. I wasn’t eavesdropping or anything. I– I was walking back into the office when I overheard hope talking to thomas about how in sync they are. And how there was no limit to how far they could take hope for the future.

Finn: It seems pretty tame. I mean, maybe he was feeling down, he just needed a pep talk.

Steffy: No, no, there was– there was more to it, more to her. It was the way she looked at him, touching his hands. There was nothing tame about that. Gosh, hope was caressing my brother’s hands, gazing into his eyes and not in the way a coworker or a co-parent should. No, she was gazing with desire.

Finn: Desire? Steffy. Come on.

Steffy: It’s– it’s true. She wasn’t looking at him like a friend, that she, like, appreciated him. I know when a woman wants a man, finn.

Finn: Well, you think that hope wants– I just– I’m– I’m sorry, I can’t believe this. This is–

Steffy: I couldn’t believe it either. That’s why I had to confront her.

Finn: You confronted her?

Steffy: Yes, of course I did. My brother is doing so well. There is no way I’m letting hope screw this up for him.

Thomas: Hey, carter.

Carter: Hey.

Thomas: I didn’t realize anybody would still be here.

Carter: Yeah, just finishing up a few things. So, san francisco.

Thomas: Uh-huh.

Carter: Huge success, huh?

Thomas: Yeah, you know, hope crushed it per usual.

Carter: I can tell from all the orders pouring in.

Thomas: Really? That quick, huh?

Carter: Initial orders and the buyers indicated there’s more to come.

Thomas: You know, I love it when a plan comes together.

Carter: Yeah. Well, almost together. I heard about the little drama that happened after the meeting between you and hope.

Hope: Um, what’s all this?

Liam: Hey, one sec. Hi. Yeah, we’re, uh– we’re celebrating. Yeah.

Hope: Yeah. My, um– my successful meeting?

Liam: Yeah. Also selfishly, I’m glad you weren’t forced to spend the night in san francisco. You know?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Me too.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: Um, li– uh, listen, I– I get that you– you trust thomas. And– and I understand that at this point. It’s– it’s one thing for you guys to have to work long hours at the office. But, you know, being alone together in another city is just a bit much for me.

Hope: I know. No, no, no, I totally– I totally get that. But, you know, even if we did have to stay, he would have been in his hotel room. I would have been in mine, and– and we probably would’ve barely even seen each other.

Liam: Yeah. No, yeah. I mean, unless– I mean, I wouldn’t put it past him to, like, ask if you wanted to take a stroll or, like, see the city. Night out on the town. Something– it doesn’t matter because it didn’t happen and for that, I’m grateful. So, moving on.

Hope: Yeah, I am grateful for that, too.

Liam: Cool. Um, I guess maybe as a formality, I should ask, like, did he try anything?

Hope: No.

Liam: No. You promise? Great. Nothing. So, nothing. Nothing at all happened. Eggland’s best.

Thomas: Drama?

Carter: The plane. You and hope almost didn’t make it home.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, that was– that, yeah, was dramatic.

Carter: Yeah, hope must have been freaking out. I mean, you, you probably wouldn’t have minded an extended vacation but hope was probably desperate to get back to liam.

Thomas: Definitely.

Carter: That’s what we hope for, right? Liam’s crazy about her and hope, completely devoted to him.

Thomas: Yeah. She– she certainly is.

Finn: Please tell me you didn’t let things get out of hand?

Steffy: I was a protective sister. I didn’t go into attack mode… ish. She did a pretty good job convincing me that she doesn’t have feelings for– for thomas.

Finn: Okay, then, well, like, what’s the concern there?

Steffy: I said pretty good job. She may believe what she’s saying, but I’m not sure I do.

Finn: Oh, so are you suggesting that she doesn’t even realize that she’s flirting with thomas? Like, not consciously?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know. Okay, let’s– let’s think about it. All these years, thomas has been fawning over hope. He just adored her for so long and just like that, it– it goes away. Maybe hope’s not used to it. Maybe– maybe it bruised her ego a bit. Thomas is in a good, healthy place. So, if she’s flirting with thomas, consciously or not, it’s awful. You just don’t flirt with someone who used to be obsessed with you.

Finn: I don’t disagree. It’s just– so, what did hope say for herself?

Steffy: She said that my imagination was running wild.

Finn: Well, it could be, right?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, it could. So, I asked her point blank if she had feelings for thomas.

Finn: And?

Steffy: She said it’s ridiculous.

Finn: Okay, so was there any part of you that believes her? Like, could there be a world where hope is telling the truth?

Liam: So, that’s cool. Nothing happened, thomas didn’t try anything, huh?

Hope: Oh, well, I’ll tell you what did happen. We had a meeting with the buyers and they were super, super impressed.

Liam: Well, of course, they were. That’s fantastic news. I am so happy for you.

Hope: I mean, it really is. I don’t think it could have gone any better.

Liam: Well–

Hope: Actually, that is not true. I think it would have been much better if you were there. I–

Liam: Aw.

Hope: I really missed you.

Liam: Hmm. Wow.

Hope: Mm.

Liam: Where’s that coming from?

Hope: Oh, I just, you know, don’t want you to forget how much I love and appreciate you.

Liam: I love and appreciate you, too. Things are good. I mean, your line is coming back. No surprise there. The buyers loved your pitch. No surprise there. Shoot, the most stressful part of the trip was probably after.

Hope: After?

Liam: What happened after. The mechanical issues on the plane. ‘Cause, you know, nobody likes being stuck waiting for a flight, you know?

Hope: No, not at all.

Liam: Well, I’m sure it will come as a great shock to you that I’m really happy you didn’t have to spend the night in san francisco with thomas.

Hope: Mm. Yeah, me, too. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Thomas: You getting out of here finally?

Carter: Yeah, late dinner plans with katie. I can’t wait to tell her all the works we’ll have on our plate tomorrow thanks to your successful trip.

Thomas: Better than the alternative, though, right?

Carter: Yeah, that is for sure. Nice work today, thomas. You and hope, you proved it again.

Thomas: Proved what?

Carter: What an amazing team you are.

Steffy: I want to believe hope. I do. So, the last person that you’d think that she’d be attracted to is, like, a bad boy.

Finn: Well, not that thomas is. I mean, not anymore.

Steffy: No, I mean, he’s– he’s made changes. We all see that. Hope sees that. But I think– I think hope will always see thomas as the ultimate bad boy.

Finn: Like some hidden fantasy of hers? I mean, yeah, it’s not that unbelievable. And growing up with brooke logan as your mother… I mean, at least from the stories that you’ve told me, I mean, I can only imagine the example that was being set.

Steffy: That’s true. And I… I did tell hope that I thought she was turning into brooke.

Finn: [ Chuckles ] Really?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. But honestly, I– I really don’t think hope is anything like brooke. She’s the complete opposite.

Finn: So, does that mean you’re gonna take her at her word? You’re gonna choose to believe that she doesn’t have feelings for thomas?

Steffy: Okay. I will try to lean toward believing hope, but I’m gonna be watching her. And if she crosses any lines with thomas, first off, that would be just awful if she did that to liaM. Secondly, that would undermine all the progress thomas has made. Everything is going so well in our family and I don’t want– I do not want hope to ruin that for us.

Hope: My principles

and my morals,

they matter to me.

Sorry.

Thomas: No, wait, hey, hey,

hey, hold on, hold on.

Hope.

You are the most principled

and– and moral person

I’ve ever met.

You’re nothing like

your mother. [ Scoffs ]

And I’ve watched you

my entire life.

You– you’re– you’re like one

of the most incredible people

ever, and you love your family.

You always want to be with liam

and– and nothing is gonna

come between you two.

Liam: I mean, the whole thomas situation, you guys working late nights together and going on trips together now, it– it drives me nuts. That’s not a secret. I can admit that. What I don’t want is for it to affect our relationship. I don’t want it to– to drive a wedge in our marriage. And even if that did happen, that wouldn’t be on you. I– I trust you completely. It– it’s thomas that historically I have trust issues with.

Hope: Well, I don’t think you need to worry about thomas. He’s been professional and he knows how I feel about you and our family and this life that we’ve built together.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, even steffy said a lot of the same stuff.

Hope: Wait, um, so, you talked to steffy about this?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, she’s his sister. I figured if anyone would have some insight into his, uh, consciousness, it’d be her.

Hope: And what did she say?

Liam: Kinda just what you did. Like, that he’s– he’s not a threat to my marriage.

Hope: That’s it?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

Steffy: I saw you, hope.

Hope: Saw?

Steffy: What I didn’t know,

which I– I never would have

thought is that it would–

it would be you.

Hope: Me?

Steffy: You were looking

right in thomas’s eyes,

laying it on pretty thick.

Hope: All right,

it is not what you think–

Steffy: I know what I saw.

I will not

let you derail thomas.

I will not allow you

or anyone else to set him back.

Do you hear me?

So, I’m gonna ask you

and ask you once.

Do you have feelings

for thomas?

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Here. Come here.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: Liam?

Liam: Mm-hmm?

Hope: I mean, you– you know how much I love you, right?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Okay, ’cause I don’t– I don’t ever want you to doubt that.

Liam: I won’T.

Hope: Okay. You promise?

Liam: Yeah, I promise.

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

 

Y&R logo

Recap written by Terry

Jack was stunned by Daniel’s revelation that Phylis is alive, and Kyle was desperate to find Summer to tell her. Kyle doesn’t know that it was Summer who told Daniel about Phyllis. Daniel said Phyllis contacted only him. In fact, Phyllis contacted Summer and implored her to not tell Daniel. Summer could not keep the secret and told her brother. After Daniel told Jack, Kyle and Diane’s lawyer, Michael Baldwin, that Phyllis is alive, Kyle wanted to inform Diane, but Michael said no one else was to know until there’s evidence that Phyllis is alive and back in town. Daniel said no one can know Phyllis is alive before it’s arranged that Phyllis will turn herself in and does not go to prison. Diane walked into the tense discussion and asked the group if there was something she should know. Daniel told Diane he believed she did not murder Phyllis and that he believed it was Jeremy Stark who tried to frame Diane for Phyllis’ death. Diane expressed her gratitude to Daniel, who could barely look at her, knowing the secret he kept from her.

Kyle insisted that he tell Summer her mother is alive, but Jack asked him to hold off until he could speak with District Attorney Christine Williams, who is prosecuting the case against Diane. When Kyle spoke with Diane alone, he was on the verge of spilling the secret.

Sally told Adam she can’t work with him ever again and that he had to find a way to let her go.

Nick ran into Elena, who was having a drink after moving out of the apartment she shared with Nate. She told Nick he was right about Nate, and Nick suggested she and Nick have ice cream, which he said helps everything.

Victoria and Nate discussed his breakup with Elena; Nate stated he did not want Elena back. They talked about the future.

Nick presented a romantic dinner to Sally and told her that he’s in love with her.

Interviews with actors and writers of “The Tower 2: Death Message”

TV Interview!

 

Stars Gemma Whelan, Jimmy Akingbola and Tahirah Sharif of "The Tower 2: Death Message" on Britbox

Interviews with actors and writers of “The Tower 2: Death Message” on Britbox by Suzanne 5/3/23

This was so much fun! I had never heard of this series (I don’t normally watch Britbox), so I watched the first series, “The Tower” and then the upcoming episodes of “The Tower 2: Death Message.” They were very entertaining. If you loved the books, or you liked the first series, you will certainly enjoy the second one. It has the same actors and a similar story, but with more action and character development. Of course, it has a great mystery or two. Speaking with the writers and actors was great because they were kind and funny.

First, I spoke with Writer and Executive Producer Patrick Harbinson and Author and Executive Producer Kate London. I generally only speak to actors and producers, so it’s a rare treat to speak to a writer or director. They didn’t disappoint!

New York, NY – April 21, 2023 – BritBox, the world leader in British streaming, will exclusively premiere gripping crime drama The Tower 2: Death Message from May 16 in North America. The four-episode thriller is returning for a second season, airing weekly on BritBox, following its 2021 hit first installment, The Tower, also available on the service.

The critically-acclaimed crime drama is written and executive produced by Patrick Harbinson (Homeland, 24), and produced by Harbinson’s Windhover Films and Mammoth Screen, in association with ITV Studios.

The Tower 2: Death Message is based on the second novel in author Kate London’s best-selling series. Following the dramatic climax of season one, rookie Police Constable Lizzie Adama (Sharif) returns to her London police station where she finds herself fighting to protect a mother and daughter in peril. Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins (Whelan) has transferred to Homicide Command. When she is tasked with re-opening a cold case involving a missing schoolgirl, her investigations take an unexpected turn, leading her to cross paths with Lizzie once again. Detective Inspector Kieran Shaw (Scanlan) wants to recruit Detective Sergeant Steve Bradshaw (Akingbola) for a specialist task force, targeting a major organized crime figure, but he must convince Steve he can be trusted. This latest season promises another complex, authentic and topical crime story that will keep audiences gripped.

Season one followed Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins as she set out to uncover the truth around two grisly deaths discovered at the bottom of a residential apartment building. The investigation led her into a dark conspiracy in which her relationship with Lizzie Adama was tested to the limits. All three episodes of season one are now available on BritBox ahead of the season two debut.

Patrick Harbinson and Kate London executive produce the series alongside Mammoth Screen’s Sheena Bucktowonsing and Damien Timmer. Andy Mosse (The Last Bus, The Darkest Dawn, Hungerford) produces and Faye Gilbert (The Bay, The Line, Leaving Eva) directs.

Adam: Hey [ Sighs ] I, uh, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting too long.

Sally: Uh, no. I just got here. I’m glad you could join me.

Adam: You kidding? You know, any chance to sit down with you and discuss, uh, possibilities at mccall, sign me up.

Sally: That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Your job offer.

Adam: Excellent. Uh, well, I have some wonderful ideas that I think you’re gonna love–

Sally: No, no– the answer is no.

Nick: Well, it’s great to put a face to the voice on the other end of the phone. Let’s talk real soon. Hi, elena.

Elena: Nick. Hey.

Nick: You, uh, having dinner?

Elena: Um, no. I am actually staying here these days.

Nick: Right.

Elena: Yeah. Turns out you were right about nate.

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Come in.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Uh, I was gonna ask about your flight home from la… but it looks like it was a crash landing.

Jack: This is just beyond unbelievable.

Kyle: No, this is proof that mom is innocent. She and summer need to know. We need to get them here.

Michael: No one can know. End of story.

Kyle: My mother’s get-out-of-jail card is out there somewhere, alive. Why do we have to keep this under wraps?

Michael: Oh. You’re that guy.

Kyle: What guy?

Michael: You know that one guy who’s never kept a secret from his mother or his wife? Give me a break. And give that guy a medal. You’re a saint, kyle. Oh, but you’re also the one that we’ll point to when the judge asks, “who unleashed a fury of this magnitude?”

Kyle: Phyllis is alive. Summer needs to know so she can stop grieving her mother and treating mine like she’s a murderer.

Michael: That’s the warm and tender version. But in the real world, where we live, you’ll pay now and for the rest of your days.

Kyle: Michael, I don’t see how that may be.

Michael: Well, if diane finds out that phyllis tried to frame her for murder, she will gnaw off her ankle, hunt phyllis down, and there won’t be anything left to bury.

Kyle: Summer needs to know that daniel saw phyllis.

Daniel: No, she doesn’T.

Jack: I promised diane–

Michael: Gentlemen, gentlemen. Sometimes secrets are kept out of kindness, or to avoid false hopes or massive bloodshed. This is definitely the latter. So leave it alone until we can come up with solid evidence.

Daniel: Yeah. Total silence. We all need to be quiet until we can be sure that we can bring my mom back safely.

Michael: Diane!

Jack: Hey there.

Diane: Hello. I thought I heard voices.

Jack: I hope we didn’t disturb you.

Diane: Is there news about the case? Is there something I should know? We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Sally: It’s just when you offered me the job of my choice at mccall, I knew it was a terrible idea. Like, what were you thinking? Look… we can never, ever work together again.

Adam: I’m assuming that you and nick arrived at this decision together.

Sally: No.

Adam: Sorry. I just thought he would be the one to make such a reckless decision.

Sally: Reckless?

Adam: I– I don’t know. Brave? Crazy? Call it what you want. I– I’m giving you a chance to write your own ticket, sally. To choose your own job, to create your own culture. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design the job of your dreams.

Sally: Just so we’re clear, just because I’m with your brother doesn’t mean that I don’t make my own decisions.

Adam: Okay. Of course you do. That’s why I gave you carte blanche. Hasty of me. I– I guess I was just excited about the idea of us working together again.

[ Adam sighs ] You know, it wasn’t that bad at newman media, was it?

Sally: We had our moments.

Adam: We can have them again. But this time on our own terms, answering to no one.

Sally: We were lightning in a bottle, adam.

Adam: You can’t tell me that you don’t want that again.

Sally: I want different things now. And I have made my decision. There isn’t a newman alive who will ever sign my paychecks again.

Elena: So, how long have you known about nate and victoria?

Nick: For reasons I hope you understand, I cannot talk about that or answer any questions on the topic.

Elena: Fair. I am in a kill-the-messenger kinda mood.

Nick: I will say, we can start with “nate is a complete jackass.”

Elena: True.

Nick: And you deserve so much more than him. I mean, you’re out there fighting for the two of you to stay together, and he’s doing what he’s doing.

Elena: You are good at this.

Nick: You wanna know what helps everything? Ice cream. What do you say we crush some mint chocolate chip or cookie dough? Whatever you want.

Elena: You’ve got yourself a deal.

Nick: All right.

Diane: Michael, I didn’t realize you were coming by.

Michael: How are you, diane?

Diane: So… who’s going to be the one to tell me what this is all about?

Jack: We were just brainstorming.

Diane: Oh! Well, I doubt that daniel is interested in helping plan my defense strategy. Hello, daniel.

Daniel: Diane.

Diane: I– I want you to know that my heart breaks for you every day. Uh, to lose a parent like that under such, um, tragic and complicated circumstances…

Daniel: Thank you.

Diane: I am just destroyed by what happened. And, um, I just hope that you can leave yourself open to believing that I’m innocent. And I– I know that the evidence that’s out there says otherwise, and that I’ve already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, but maybe one day you’ll see that I–

Daniel: You’re not going to prison, diane.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s very kind of you to say, but… why do you sound strangely certain?

Michael: Uh, what daniel probably means is with the help of a highly skilled attorney such as myself–

Diane: Hang on, michael. Daniel, is that right? Is that why you’re saying I’m not going to prison?

Jack: Uh, you know what? I will tell you why. Hi, I’m michael,

Nick: Well, the first thing we’re gonna do is stuff the suggestion box and demand they get a way better options of ice cream.

Elena: Right? I mean, this is a hotel. It’s gotta be overflowing with heartbreak and cheaters. They are missing out on a revenue stream.

Nick: So tonight, we drink. Unless, of course, you have to work later.

Elena: No. I got my shift covered for a favor I did for a friend. Which, you know, is really reassuring. It’s nice to know that there are still people in the world that believe in fairness and honoring commitments.

Nick: Yeah. You know what? Tonight’s on me.

Elena: No. You’re not paying anything. It’s not your fault that nate has no moral compass. But… if you do want to make up for your sister, you could cover my hotel bill.

Nick: Really hate what she did, but that is not gonna happen.

Elena: ‘Cause she’s family. I get it. And I promise I will not trash her in front of you. At least not right now.

Nate: Is that the good stuff?

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] It’s the decent stuff. We wouldn’t wanna get carried away again, would we?

[ Nate exhales ]

[ Glasses clink ] How are we, nate?

Nate: [ Inhales ] Uh, where do I begin? Uh, as far as the langston project goes–

Victoria: No, no. We’re– we’re good on the business end. I’m– I mean, you’ve made tremendous progress with langston and everything else.

Nate: Yeah.

Victoria: I’m talking about us. How are you? How are things with elena?

Nate: She moved out.

Victoria: Oh…

Nate: Got home to find she destroyed a picture of the two of us and left her keys behind.

Victoria: That must have been very difficult for you.

Nate: I never wanted her to get hurT.

Victoria: No. Nor did I. I guess we just– we just got wrapped up in the excitement.

Nate: It was more than that. For me, anyway.

Victoria: Well, that could be problematic for you if you’re hoping to reconcile. I mean, is that– is that your goal?

Nate: Things between elena and me are broken beyond repair.

Victoria: You can’t do anything to fix them?

Nate: The real issue is, I don’t want to.

Adam: So you have, uh, a no-newman clause in your contracts?

Sally: It’s not exactly in writing, but…

Adam: I mean, clarify this for me. Is it the name? Genetics? Is it anybody with newman dna, or is it everyone in– in the family of which you’re about to be a part of?

Sally: It’s you and nick, for obvious reasons.

Adam: Has there been any movement with chancellor-winters?

Sally: No, there hasn’t been any movement, but, you know, there’s other ways to grow our business, and if there’s one thing that chloe and I do best, it is pivot. You know, turn on a dime, make things happen. Will you respect my decision?

Adam: Sally… what don’t I respect about you?

Diane: Jack, you were about to tell me why daniel is sure that I’m not going to prison.

Jack: I think daniel just meant that if he thinks you’re innocent, it should be very easy to persuade a judge that you are.

Michael: Isn’t that right, daniel?

Daniel: Um, yeah. Yeah, I mean, it’s taken some time, but, um, you know, I’ve been confronted with some undeniable truths. I mean, it had to be stark, right?

Diane: Yes. I’ve always known he was involved.

Daniel: I– I think it’s a shame how he used you and my mom just to build his bank account and get revenge.

Diane: So you really believe me?

Daniel: I do.

Diane: Really? I mean, I’m– I’m sorry, it’s just my life has been such a nightmare lately, and I’ve almost given up hope. I mean, I’m wearing this ankle monitor, but… but now I have your belief in me. And, I mean, if you can believe me with all the manufactured evidence that’s out there, then anything’s possible, right? Look, I know how passionately summer believes that I’m guilty, so I can only imagine what this is costing you. I mean, I– I know it’s just so hard to figure out the right thing to do when your whole world is turned upside-down. So your secret’s safe with us, daniel. You’re a good man. And I hope you know that phyllis was so very proud of you, and I can see why.

Daniel: I– I can’t do this.

Diane: I’m– daniel, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I just– I don’t know what’s going on with me.

Jack: The only thing you need to know right now is that everyone in this room knows you are innocent, and we are gonna work like the devil to make sure everyone else knows as well.

Diane: It’s a very generous endorsement, daniel. Thank you. Now, would you mind swearing to that in front of a judge and jury? [ Laughs ] I mean, it couldn’t hurt, right?

Michael: Well, I think we’re gonna keep daniel’s support of our case kinda safely tucked into our back pocket until we figure out a way to fit him into our narrative. I mean, there are a lot of moving parts, and elements of this case are changing every day.

Diane: I know, I know. Let the professionals do their job.

Kyle: You sure there’s nothing we can do, dad, to make this more bearable for mom?

Jack: We have the very best lawyer. With any luck, we will find the evidence we need.

Michael: Yeah, and– and the proof we’re looking for, uh, it can be a bit slippery. That’s why we didn’t wanna raise your hopes.

Diane: Oh, well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but you already have. I have daniel in my corner now. So good things can happen. I’ll just… I’ll just keep hoping for more. All right.

Kyle: See that? The way she latched on to daniel’s support?

Jack: I am not going to break her heart with more false promises.

Kyle: We need phyllis.

Michael: We’ve gotta get her to come back home.

Daniel: And make it safe for her to turn herself in. No prison time.

Michael: I can’t even begin to touch that case. I’m focused on diane. And we say nothing to her until we have phyllis in hand.

Nate: Truth is, I’m not the same man I was when elena and I met. I want different things.

Victoria: You were both doctors.

Nate: Those hours, that lifestyle, it was so easy to just fall into a rhythm. Everything became so routine.

Victoria: That’s natural. But it just seemed like your heart wasn’t in it anymore.

Nate: Mmm. Once this went, the passion for the job did too. And after that, the relationship. But… coming here, it made me see my world in a new light. Who I am. The man I wanna be.

Victoria: And who is that?

Nate: Who they say I am in the papers. Unstoppable and exceeding expectations.

Victoria: You’re on that road.

Nate: But when it comes to relationships, I am lost.

Victoria: Maybe I was right when I said that you needed more than elena could give you.

Nate: She wants the version of me that doesn’t exist anymore. And she just couldn’t understand it or accept it. But… I never wanted her to get hurt.

Victoria: No, of course not.

Nate: But I wouldn’t have allowed myself to act on this connection I feel toward you if I hadn’t been looking for something else. Something more.

Sally: [ Sighs ] You can’t say things like that, adam.

Adam: Look, that’s not what I meant. Okay, maybe it came out the wrong way. You’ll have to forgive me.

[ Sighs ] Sometimes when we were together, it’s like nothing has changed between us.

Sally: Yeah, but everything has. And I don’t want you to lose sight of that, ’cause… I haven’T.

Adam: Okay, wait. You– you think what I said was some grand romantic pronouncement?

Sally: I think it just slipped out, which makes it even more dangerous than if it was a planned attack. Look, we– we have boundaries. And I think you need to do a better job of paying attention.

Adam: You think that I need to watch what I say?

Sally: If that’s what it takes. Look, I want you to be a part of this child’s life and to be the best father that you can be. But that is all that I want from you.

Adam: Um, look, I– I realize that you were trying to do the right thing–

Sally: You need to stop accidentally saying things that you shouldn’t say to someone who isn’t yours. This baby is yours. But I’m with nick. Type 2 diabetes?

“The young and the restless” will continue.”

Nick: All right, it’s that time. It’s everyone’s favorite time, you know, when I offer my unsolicited advice. I’m just a dude who’s been there on both sides, so take that for what you wilL.

Elena: I guess that’s what makes it worth more than you think.

Nick: In that case, treat this like a root canal. Do nothing. I’m serious, elena. Nothing. Don’t drunk dial. No big financial decisions. Just chill. Just give yourself time to breathe.

Elena: Yeah, and what about the podcast I’m supposed to do with newman?

Nick: You can do whatever you want. I’m serious. It’s your call. You can keep it. You can kick it to the curb. We can find some workaround. We can make sure you will never see nate if you want. You could even work remotely if you’d like. But you never have to see him.

Elena: Must be tough for you. Not having the same luxury, with your family expanding in unexpected ways.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Ah. Talking about, uh, me, sally, adam, and the baby.

Elena: Yeah. It can’t be easy.

Nick: Well, despite the onslaught of negative comments from my parents, adam’s constant hovering, and sally feeling like she’s being torn in nine different directions…

Elena: Oh, I’m so sorry.

Nick: That’s all right. This might sound crazy… um, my parents think I’m beyond help. But you wanna know something?

Elena: What?

Nick: I’m the happiest I’ve been in a very long time. And it just hit me that is a terrible thing to say to someone who just had their heart broken. I apologize.

Elena: [ Laughs ] Stop. You’re in love, and that is a beautiful and rare thing. Embrace it. Revel in it. Celebrate it.

Nick: Yeah, maybe I will.

Elena: Maybe? You better. Do it for me. Do it for her. Do it for love.

[ Glasses clink ]

Adam: I’m sorry. I got ahead of myself. Guess I was just excited about the possibility of us working together again.

Sally: You have to move on.

Adam: Just find somebody? Fall in love again?

Sally: You deserve that. Someone who’s meant for you. Someone who sees what an incredible man you are. A woman who you can give your whole heart to.

Adam: And you really think that there’s someone like that out there from me?

Sally: Of course. And when you look at each other, you’ll think “that’s my whole world.”

Adam: And just live happily ever after?

Sally: Why not? Look, I have a feeling whenever you hold our little girl in your arms, you are gonna realize that you were meant for one woman. And she’s gonna make you wanna be the best adam that there can be. This girl’s gonna change your life.

Adam: She already has.

Sally: Well, good. There’s just one other thing that I really need you to do, and I need you to take this to heart. You need to find a way to let me go.

Kyle: Who were the bodies they used for dead phyllis and the emt?

Michael: I’d like to know the answer to that myself. I’ve got an investigator on it.

Daniel: It’s probably one of the darkest things about this whole issue. John and jane doe already dead, unknowingly giving their bodies to a lie.

Jack: And then, of course, there’s the proof out there that is living and breathing, and no one knows about it but us. When can we tell christine that her murder victim is alive?

Michael: When we’re in contact with phyllis, d she’s in town and she’s under surveillance, whether she wants to be or not. She knows coming back here, she could be charged for stark’s murder.

Jack: She should be arrested as soon as they find her, for her security, for our safety. She needs to testify or sign a sworn statement.

Kyle: Summer will run out there and find phyllis herself.

Daniel: It’s one of the many reasons why we agreed that we have to hold off on telling her.

Kyle: Hey, you’re not the ones who have to look into her eyes every day. If she finds out phyllis is alive–

Daniel: She will.

Michael: When the time is right.

Jack: Michael, daniel, uh, thank you. Michael, for all you do. Daniel, thank you for sharing your encounter with phyllis. You didn’t have to tell us any of that, and it changes everything for us.

Daniel: I hope so. I gotta run.

Michael: Yeah. I’ll be in touch.

Jack: Okay, go ahead. Say it. I know you have very strong feelings against my decision.

Kyle: I hate it. Summer needs to know.

Jack: Well, she will know eventually. We can’t tell her–

[ Stammers ] Why are you being so insistent on this?

Kyle: Because I know what it’s like to have people tell you that your mother is dead. I look into her eyes and I know what she feels, how much she misses her, how much it hurts. How she wants to hold her one more time, make more memories. Thing is? She can do all of that, because her mother is out there somewhere, alive. But I have a wife who is crying herself to sleep and blaming my mother for phyllis’s supposed death. We could be out there living our lives again. I’m not doing this any longer. I am telling summer.

Nate: I’m not sure what I was looking for. This is all uncharted territory for me. An adventure I could have never anticipated.

Victoria: I feel the same way.

Nate: And I find myself drawn to you. Explain to me how we can know each other for so many years in so many ways, and now, when it’s insanely inappropriate…

Victoria: This attraction…

Nate: Constantly wanting more of you.

Victoria: I feel the same way.

Nate: So you want me?

Victoria: Isn’t obvious?

[ Sighs ] I very much enjoyed our time in california together. I think the two of us working together is beneficial.

Nate: Agreed.

Victoria: However…

Nate: Oh, no strings. No buts.

Victoria: Well, that’s good, because that means that your future is completely in your hands. Your own hands.

[ Nate chuckles ] So where do you want things to go from here? – We got this! – Great! – Bye!

Adam: What makes you think that I haven’t let you go?

Sally: I can see it in the way that you look at me. In the way that you smile at me. Your words.

Adam: I– I can’t be happy?

Sally: Yeah. Be overjoyed about the baby, but from a respectful distance. Look, this is not a request, okay? It’s– it’s a requirement.

Adam: Okay, um, is there an expiration date on my banishment? Should I expect a birth announcement by email, or– or what?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Okay, adam. I will keep you abreast on all the doctor’s appointments.

Adam: Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Sally: And I will see to it that you receive a regular report of the baby’s health and growth.

Adam: That’s very considerate of you.

Sally: Okay. Maybe we both can find a level of contact that works for us. For all four of us. It’s for the best. And you’ll agree with me… eventually. Goodbye, adam.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: Wow. That’s a hell of a question.

Victoria: Was that too forward?

Nate: I didn’t say that. I just wasn’t expecting it. Where do I want things to go?

[ Exhales ] Huh… you first.

Victoria: All right. Well, to put it simply, I want more of you. More time with you. I wanna get to know you more.

Nate: Well, we want the same things. We just have to be careful on how we go about getting it.

Victoria: I understand that. I know that you need time to mourn your relationship. And I’m definitely gonna keep a respectful distance.

Nate: Oh, and you think that’ll make a difference? That I’ll want you any less?

[ Chuckles ] If anything, avoidance will make things worse. Waiting and wanting you?

Victoria: There’s no rush, right? Neither one of us is going anywhere. Besides that, anticipation is fun, I think.

Jack: I know you are frustrated. I’m frustrated too. But we have something we didn’t have before: The key to saving diane and ending summer’s grief.

Kyle: But what good is it if we can’t tell anyone?

Jack: We will, when all the pieces are in place. Look, it isn’t perfect, but, look, there have been improvements. Summer no longer feels she has to wage war against diane. And you saw how touched she was by daniel’s support.

Kyle: Yeah. And think of how great they’ll feel when they find out the truth.

Jack: Think how great they will feel when they find out the irrefutable proof that we have. We have no idea where it is or when it will ever come back to town. We can’t give them false promises.

Kyle: But we can’t keep this a secret forever.

Jack: No, of course we can’T. You’re right. There’s gotta be another way. Uh… I’m gonna call christine. Can you give me just that much time?

Kyle: Christine? Michael–

Jack: No– I– yeah, I’m gonna ask if she will meet with me. If she will, I– I will meet with her and come right back to you. But until then–

Kyle: No, I’m not making any more promises, dad. Okay. Fine. If I see summer, I will do my best to avoid the topic.

Jack: I will come right back after.

[ Door slams ]

[ Gasps softly ]

I have type 2 diabetes,

Sally: What is all this?

Nick: There is something I haven’t said to you yet, and it requires some embellishments.

Sally: What have you done?

Nick: What I’ve done is fallen completely in love with you.

Sally: Oh.

Nick: “Oh.”

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Uh, that’s not, um, not the response I was expecting.

Sally: No, no, no, no. It’s– it’s not that this isn’t the most wonderful thing that anyone has ever done for me, or… said to me.

Nick: I caught you off-guard. Yeah.

Sally: Why are you telling me now?

Nick: I was with someone tonight who reminded me that things are complicated. And they really are. I’m crazy about you, sally. I, uh… I think about you every minute of the day. You’re the best thing that’s happened to me in a very long time.

Sally: Even though your family is ready to disown you or lock you away until you come to your senses?

Nick: There isn’t anything or anyone that is gonna keep me away from you.

Sally: Promise?

Nick: You’re stuck with me.

Sally: Good. [ Laughs ]

Nick: I hope you’re not hungry.

Sally: Well, I hope you’re not tired.

[ Sally laughs ]

Nick: I’m not.

Victoria: So, how do you feel about everything now? About where we are?

Nate: Hmm. Part of me is thrilled. The other part of me feels like we had a contract negotiation about our relationship.

Victoria: Well, I do prefer to keep my drama in the bedroom. And occasionally in the office.

Nate: Ooh. Well, your secret’s safe with me.

Victoria: I know. All right. Come on, hastings, let’s get your private life in order. I need your attention right here, right now.

Nate: Where I belong.

Victoria: I’m glad we both agree.

[ Nate chuckles ]

Nate: I’m gonna get back to work. I will see you around.

Victoria: Uh, nate? Uh, do me a favor and don’t forget to check in later about that streaming deal.

Nate: Will do.

[ Cell phone pings ]

Christine: Running late. On my way.

Jack: All right, christine. The sooner, the better.

[ Cell phone pings ]

Victor: Hello, jack.

[ Laughs ] You look as if you just saw a ghost.

Kyle: Magic? Harrison thinks so.

Diane: Well, then how many would you have to eat to get rid of that look in your eyes?

Kyle: Mom…

Diane: No, I just keep– I keep praying for a miracle that all of this will just… go away. One minute we’re planning our wedding, and– and the next, we’re planning my defense.

[ Chuckles ] You know what we should be planning? We should be planning a family vacation. You know, you and summer. You deserve some time away after all this. I mean, don’t ask me how we’d all be able to go, but… I don’t know, we could find some little hidden resort in a corner of the world, and–

Kyle: You can’t make this go away, mom. But I can. There’s something you need to know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I have to say goodbye.

[Tense music]

Goodbye? Why would you say–

I am so sorry, joss.

Hey, why are you making it sound like you’re leaving?

I am.

[Sighs]

Oh, sasha, is this is your first time wearing a baby carrier?

Well, you put it on like an old pro.

Miss gilmore?

Please, call me sasha.

I’m julie.

Nice to meet you, julie.

We actually met before. I–I was here when–

oh. Fun times, huh? I’m sorry for not remembering your name.

Don’t be silly. There was a lot going on.

[Chuckles] Here. Come on.

That is one way of putting it.

How are you doing?

I’m okay, really.

That’s good to hear. Well, welcome back to home & heart. And here’s a production schedule.

Thank you. I was hoping to see the display for the deceptor, make sure everything is in order. Is it cool if I go on set?

No, it is not cool. If you think I’m gonna work with someone as unstable as you, you really are crazy.

[Dramatic music]

N’neka, let me have another martini.

[Dance music playing]

And another round for you too?

Oh, I’m done with seltzer. I’ve been dying for a real drink all night.

Okay. What can I get you?

Scotch, straight up.

Yeah.

Had to stay sharp up until now, for all the good it did me.

[Sighs]

Rude.

[Clapping] That was an epic crash and burn in there.

Go away.

You’re on the hook for a lot of cash, gladys. What–what’s the game plan? Got another garage you’re gonna secretly sell, or…

you cheated.

I didn’t need to cheat. Let’s face it, gladys. You are a lousy poker player whose luck ran out a long time ago.

[Sighs]

[Keys jingling]

[Object clattering]

[Dramatic music]

Did something happen with willow?

She’s, uh, she’s hanging in there, handling the chemo as well as can be expected.

Well, that’s good. What brings you by?

Look, I need things to change before it’s too late.

 

[Dramatic music]


[Suspenseful music]

Don’t shoot.

Why not? You’re an intruder.

[Tense music]

One that cooks.

Mm.

Mm.

Hi.

Hey.

I’m glad I ran into you.

You are?

Yeah. You–you rescued aunt liesl, and because of that, willow now has a fighting chance. I’m really grateful. Thank you.

Well, you’re welcome. I’m–I’m so thrilled that this is happening for willow, and all that’s left to do now is pray.

Yeah. I’m on it.

Okay.

Is everything okay, or–

you mean since the sec dragged me out of here?

Yeah, that.

Thank you.

[Indistinct chatter]

Do you want to say hello?

I better not. Ever since I arrested cody at the nurses’ ball, things have been tense between us.

Imagine that.

Excuse me.

Mr. Baldwin.

Oh, goody, it’s you.

[Chuckles] It’s good to see you too, scotty.

Just keep your grubby, sticky fingers away from my wallet.

All right, I did not steal that damn bracelet, okay? I was set up.

By who?

Well, you agree to represent me, I’ll tell you.

I am so worried about maxie. She sounded just awful on the phone.

Well, at least she took your advice and got someone to fill in for her. Who was it, anyway?

Hmm, maxie didn’t say.

This was not our agreement. Where is maxie jones?

Maxie is sick. She asked me to fill in. I explained all of this to your producer, russell.

Well, no one informed me.

Trust me, haven. Your audience is going to love the deceptor, and I’m more than capable of co-hosting the segment.

Oh, hello, miss de havilland, you are looking at the face of deception.

So? Will someone get me russell, now?

Boy.

Thanks for the assist.

Oh, anytime.

Wait. What are you doing here? You don’t work for deception anymore.

Maxie didn’t tell you? I’m back.

What are you talking about? Where are you going?

I don’t know. I’m so sorry, joss, but I can’t stay in port charles. I can’T.

Of course you can.

No, not anymore.

The video of sonny during the pikeman deal, that’s footage of him breaking the law. You gave that to michael, right?

Yes, but–

okay. Then it’s only a matter of time. Because willow’s gonna get the transplant, and she’ll be fine. Then michael’s gonna give the video to the feds. And then sonny is gonna be arrested.

But that’s just it. Michael’s not turning sonny in.

[Scoffs] What?

Sonny’s not going to prison.

Since when?

Since michael backed out of our deal.

First of all, I wanted to say thank you for throwing the sec off of drew’s trail. It bought him time to find liesl and bring her back home. So willow and I are forever grateful for that.

Well, I’m just glad it all worked out and willow’s gonna get the bone marrow transplant.

Yeah, that’s why I’m– that’s why I’m here. Willow. She–she asked me to call off the war between us.

It was never my war.

And to honor your place in the lives of people I love.

Well, you think you can do that, michael?

For willow and for my family, yes.


Wait a minute, brook lynn. I’m confused. Last week, you said you needed to be freed up to follow your passion.

Well, I realized that was a mistake. I love this company. And there’s no reason why I can’t have it all, right? Music and deception– I’ll make the time.

Wow. That’s awesome. Welcome back.

Thank you.

Hey. Hi. Wow, it’s so sweet of you to come support sasha here today.

Oh, that’s what teammates do.

Teammates? What, did you join some sort of sports team or something together?

Oh, no, the deception team.

I’m not following.

Brook lynn is back at deception. She already spoke to maxie.

That’s right.

Really? No, because I just spoke to maxie not two minutes ago. She did not mention anything about it.

Oh, you know what? She just must have not realized it in her feverish state. Anyway, today is not about me. It is about you and your big comeback.

Okay, you.

[Sighs] Are you sure? Are you absolutely sure you’re ready for all of this?

The last time sasha gilmore was on this show, it was a disaster. And she thought a doll was her dead baby.

That was almost a year ago. Maxie’s assured me sasha’s stronger now. And besides, if she did freak out on camera, would that really be so bad?

Is that an actual question?

Our ratings were at an all-time high after sasha’s breakdown last july. It reminded our viewers that anything can happen on live tv.

You know, our ratings have been a little sluggish lately.

Right?

Maybe we could make this work to our advantage.

Scott, listen–

don’T. You want me to represent you.

Yeah. It should be an easy gig, considering I’m innocent.

Says you. But unfortunately, you can’t afford me.

I got 10k in my pocket that says otherwise.

Well, that’s pocket money. Uh, so no.

Okay, fine. 20k.

I’m not interested.

I knew it.

What?

That you had an ulterior motive, not only when you said that you would come tonight, but you picked the savoy as well.

[Sighs] I love holly. And of course I want to celebrate her safe return. What better place to do it at?

Mm-hmm. Chief scorpio, why are we really here?

Oh, two of my favorite people.

Since when?

Mind if I join you?

What can we do for you, scott?

Well, for starters, why is holly sutton running around chloroforming people when she should be in a burn unit in europe?

I’m sorry this is happening to you.

Yeah. Look, I’m told this is an ongoing investigation. And beyond that, I’m– I’m just not comfortable discussing it with you.

Yeah, understood.

Okay. So you, um, you here to see willow?

Oh, don’t worry. I’m not gonna go into her room, you know? The last thing I want to do is to upset willow or michael. I just feel better being close by, you know?

[Somber music] Hey, drew, have you ever wanted to go back in time for a redo?

Once or twice, yeah.

There’s a lot of things that I would change. I love my daughter.

I believe that.

And all I want is for this transplant to be a success so she can go back to her family.

A family that you would love to be a part of.

Desperately.

Willow made me see that by rejecting you, I was forcing my siblings to choose.

Donna and avery, you mean?

And krissy too, to an extent. And dante’s the only one who can truly navigate this. It’s not fair to the rest of my siblings. Sure, I can tell them to have a separate relationship with you and not factor me in, but those are just words.

What about wiley and baby amelia? You feel the same way when it comes to them?

My kids should be able to know and spend time with their grandfather and their aunts and uncles who love you. And that’s–that’s more important than my anger. So for the good of my family, yeah. I want peace.

Michael backed out?

[Sighs] Out of all the ways this could have gone down, michael pulling the plug is probably the last one I expected.

Me too.

How could he do this to you? How could he do this, period?

He did it for you.

What does that mean?

For all of you. Michael doesn’t want sonny going away to cause a permanent rift in the family because you know it would have.

Of course, it would have. And that sucks. But I thought we all agreed that it was worth it. What is happening? This is so wrong.

It doesn’t matter.

How can you say that?

Because right, wrong, whatever, michael isn’t gonna change his mind.

I can’t believe this.

This is the situation, and these are my options. I have to go.

Then I’m going with you.

No, you’re not.


Hunting cabin was staged.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why did holly steal the ice princess necklace in the first place?

Because victor ordered her to.

He needed it to find mikkos’ bunker in greenland.

Those cassadines, they like to keep things interesting, don’t they?

I’ll say.

Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. If holly survived this fake explosion, did the necklace as well?

Yeah. We wanted victor to think that it was destroyed while holly tried to figure out where he was holding ethan.

So where’s the necklace now?

We don’t know, scott. It was lost when the wsb sank the haunted star.

Well, that necklace is worth about 35 million clams, wouldn’t you say?

It’s worth nothing now, seeing how it’s gone.

This is way too far

[Indistinct chatter]

She’s on her way.

Excellent.

[Tense music] Is it done?

Everyone on our production staff is on social media, talking up sasha’s appearance tonight and speculating what could possibly go wrong.

Oh, that’ll get them watching.

[Laughs] And when they watch, they buy.

Exactly.

[Chuckles]

I know that the last time I was here, I almost tanked the company.

[Sighs] Look, I am worried about you, not the company right now, okay? I think it’s so brave of you to step up and take maxie’s place. But if you’re not ready, you do not have to do this. I mean, come on. I could do this segment in my sleep.

Thank you, lucy, truly. Your support means everything to me. But I am the face of deception, and I am a partner in the business, and I really want to pull my weight.

Well, how does it feel to be back here?

It was a little overwhelming at first. But I’m okay now. I keep telling myself that this is an entirely different situation. I was self-medicating back then. I was deep in my grief for liam. And then to be asked to model a baby carrier–

out of nowhere, by the way.

I wasn’t prepared.

Oh, come on. No one–no one– would have been prepared. You weren’t expected to be prepared for that. What they did was absolutely awful. But look at you now. Look how far you’ve come. It’s so good. And I’m so proud of you.

And if anyone tries to interrupt your segment tonight, I will tackle them before they even reach the set.

[Laughs] I would love to see that.

[Tense music]

Sasha?

Sasha? What on earth are you doing here?

The cards weren’t in your favor tonight.

I–well–I thought I had a strong enough hand. But then that damn cody bell with his flush.

Mr. Bell had luck on his side.

[Scoffs] Either that or he’s a big, fat cheater.

No one cheats selina wu.

Right. [Chuckles] Of course. Mm, I guess I should be getting home.

Not until we discuss how you plan to cover the money you borrowed.

Change of plans, my friend. I will represent you.

I thought you said $20,000 wasn’t enough.

Ah, that’s chump change compared to what we’re gonna get. N’neka, another martini.

Oh, my goodness. What is going on in my kitchen? That smells amazing.

I am making you my amatriciana sauce. It’s simmering. I’ve also just recently uncorked a very posh bottle of chianti.

[Gasps]

And I’d like to let it breathe.

Oh, would you?

But something tells me you could use a glass.

Yes. Just fill it to the brim, please.

How was the briefing?

[Groans] It went on forever. I mean, seriously, I just–ugh. I feel like somewhere in the metaverse, I’m still answering questions. They wanted to know everything about greenland and your father and the pathogen. And I’m very tired. I just want to drink wine, eat pasta, and fall asleep in your arms.

That’s all you want to do, is it?

Depends how good your pasta is.

[Chuckles]

[Doorbell rings] Oh, just ignore them, and they’ll go away. Oh, my lord. Do you know–

[Doorbell rings] There are only two people that ring my doorbell like that. One is obrecht. And the other is– hello, robert.

Word of advice. Next time you want to pretend you’re not home, don’t leave the lights on.

[Dramatic music]

Obviously, the idea of running away with you sounds amazing. But I have no one, joss.

You have me.

No. You know what I mean. I don’t have any friends or family to fall back on. I don’t even have the military anymore. It’s just me and my skill set. But you, you have this incredible family that not only loves you but needs you. I got to meet two more of them today. And wiley and amelia are the sweetest. Wiley hero-worships you.

[Somber music]

I think he was more impressed by you.

No, I’m just some guy that used to be a soldier. But you, you’re his aunt joss, who’s gonna be a doctor, by the way. You love being pre-med.

I do, but–

no buts. I cannot possibly be to you what you are to me.

And it would be incredibly selfish of me to say yes, run away with me so that you end up needing me as much as I need you.

I do need you, though.

You like me, and you want me.

But you have so much else going on in your life. And that’s a good thing. If you came with me, it would be exciting at first– new identities, new lives.

Hey, we can make it work.

For a while, till one day, you wake up next to me, and you realize that you don’t want to be a waitress named trixie.

Well, I would never pick the name trixie.

You’d realize that you miss your friends, you miss your family, that you miss your life. And that would be my fault.


you lost what you came in with, then dipped into my bank for $85,000.

I–I–I– I’m good for it.

I should hope so.

Can we discuss a payment plan?

You know the rules. When players borrow from the house, payment is due at the end of the night.

I–I understand, but I don’t have that kind of money at my fingertips.

Sasha gilmore does. And don’t you control your daughter-in-law’s finances?

I’m so sorry. I had no idea I’d be seeing you here tonight.

Well, the feeling is very, very, very mutual.

Is one of your products being featured?

A new line of baby bath salts called change your moody. The little ones just love it, and so do their momm–

it’s okay. It’s okay. You can talk about motherhood and babies in front of me. I am so sorry for my behavior last time.

No, no. Don’t you dare apologize. I feel terrible about what happened to you and about the role I played, however unwittingly, in it all, which begs the question, why, of all people, would I be asked to participate tonight?

Because someone is trying to push sasha over the edge.

[Tense music]

Okay. So leopold’s necklace was not destroyed in that explosion?

No. Due to the wsb’s itchy trigger finger, the jewels went to the bottom of the ocean.

So I’m back to where I started.

Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Because the necklace is part of dominique’s estate, meaning that you and serena are owed a portion of that money.

Well, yeah, I agree with you 100%. But regardless of how the necklace was lost, it’s still gone.

Well, the wsb is the reason why your big payoff and serena’s went the way of the titanic.

Wait, so you’re saying–

yeah. We sue the wsb.

Nina, I know you think that carly is the reason that you don’t have a relationship with willow.

Well, I actually just spoke to carly about this.

Right–three-plus years of treating willow like dirt because you dislike her– obviously, that’s the reason. And I know that everything changed once you found out you’re mother and daughter. But everything didn’t change for willow.

No, I get it, and I’ve given willow more than good reason to be untrusting of me. But drew, for the first time, my daughter asked something of me.

Really? What’s that?

She wants me to stop fighting with carly, and I want to give it to her. But I don’t know how to do it. If we–if we could just start fresh–

nina, you’ve got to accept that’s– that’s just not an option.

Peace is what I’ve always wanted, but I appreciate you meeting me halfway.

Yeah, well, give willow credit.

No. It takes strength from you too. I mean, you know, I shouldn’t be surprised that you stepped up for the greater good. I mean, that’s why you gave her avery back at the end, because you didn’t want to tear the family apart.

So we have an understanding?

When it comes to you, your sisters, and your kids, yeah. What about when it comes to nina?


[Somber music]

Please talk to me.

I don’t know what to say.

Anything. Whatever you’re feeling.

Well, I feel conflicted.

Fair.

I mean, am I ready to– to give up all of my life to be with you? Am I ready to say that?

I’d be worried if you were.

But I like you…a lot.

I like you too.

I like what we have. And I want to figure out where it could go. I don’t want this to be over, and I don’t want you to leave. But I really don’t want you to die. And I really don’t want you to spend the rest of your life in prison.

Both of which are now possibilities if I stay in port charles.

So yeah, I understand, conceptually.

You’re ready to go, and you probably should. But, um, the thought of losing you… hurts my heart, and it makes me very scared and anxious.

I don’t want to lose you either.

 

[Dance music playing]

Looks like scott’s gonna be cody’s lawyer.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

For all his faults, scott’s a decent defense attorney.

Does that mean you want cody to beat the charges?

[Phone ringing]

It’s the department.

I’ll give holly your regrets.

Chief scorpio.

I won’t steal from sasha.

Didn’t you already cross that line when you sold me your son’s garage?

Exactly–sold. I didn’t give it away.

You and I both know I hardly paid market price.

I can’t do that to her again.

Then it would appear you and I have a problem.

The only thing we can prove is that the necklace belonged to taub. There’s no evidence that he gave it to dominique outright.

Yeah, but either way, the money is yours and your sister, serena, that you’re gonna share with her, right?

Yeah. No, absolutely. Where do we start?

Okay. Come by my office tomorrow, and I’ll have an affidavit for you to sign, testifying that you are taub and dominique’s son.

[Tense music]

Bye.

Bye.

“Face of deception returns to h&h–meltdown part two? Stay tuned, #home&heart.” Home & heart is implying that sasha’s gonna have a meltdown tonight on the air to get people to watch.

That is despicable. I refuse to be part of a disgusting sales grab.

[Laughs] Oh, haven and her producers better buckle up, ’cause I’m about to lift off.

Lucy. Lucy, don’T. Let it go.

Sasha, you can’t be okay with this.

No!

The more people watching, the better for the deceptor debut. It’s free publicity.

But it’s exploiting your mental health. Okay, you know what? Haven is obviously trying to rattle you. Why else would I be here, you know? I say we just call the whole thing off.

No. Haven is betting against me. Time to show her she’s making a huge mistake.

Nina’s part of my life, and she’s not going anywhere.

I understand that. I even respect that. But I need you to respect the fact that it’s up to willow to decide what kind of relationship, if any, she wants to have with nina.

That’s fair.

Can you–can you get her to back off, help her to understand that willow, you know, she’s fighting for her life?

Nobody knows that better than nina.

I know. I’m just–I’m asking you to stop her from pressuring willow.

I can’t tell nina how to deal with her own daughter any more than I want anybody to tell me how to deal with mine. I got to give her that courtesy.

Okay. Well, then, can you promise me not to advocate for nina, not to pressure willow or me?

You feel pressured?

Not openly. You’re too smart for that. We both know you’re very good at getting what you want.

I agree to let nina and willow figure out their relationship on their own. Can you do the same?

I can live with that.

Okay. I should get back to gh.

Hey, listen. If… willow needs anything, and I mean anything, I’m here.

Okay. Thank you.

I’ll see you at the hospital tomorrow. And I just want you to know that we’re gonna keep our distance. But we don’t want to be kept from our family.

Are you saying that carly will never forgive me?

No, I’m saying that you can’t erase the past or wish it away. A quick fix just doesn’t exist in this case. And to assume it does sabotages the future that you say that you want.

Drew, listen, I do want it.

Okay. All right. Great. So are you willing to work for it?

Whatever it takes.

So you gotta be honest, nina. You gotta be honest with yourself– I mean really honest. And with everybody else, you have to acknowledge your mistakes. And then maybe, maybe willow will find a place for you in her life.


Stay.

[Somber music]

What?

Stay, and we’ll figure something out.

Even if it means I continue working for sonny?

Yeah, for now. Together, we’ll come up with a solution, okay? Just don’t give up on us.

Okay.

Really?

I cannot imagine never seeing you again. I’ll stay.

We’ll think of something, I promise.

All right. Is an affidavit really necessary?

Yes, it’s just very important that we establish that you’re leopold taub’s son. Do you understand?

No, no, no. This is horrible.

Felicia, what’s wrong?

Sasha is on home & heart tonight, and they’re promoting it by suggesting she’s going to have another breakdown.

Okay, I have to go.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, you. You’re still on board, right?

Yeah, sure. Yeah, I’ll call you tomorrow.

[Sighs] How am I supposed to get that much money together so quickly? It’s impossible.

There might be another way for you to repay your debt.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Tense music]

Hey, you– you sure about this? We can bail at any time.

I am sure.

All right. They’re coming.

Everything set?

We’re a go.

Great. Flora, darling, what a lovely surprise.

Is it, though?

Whatever do you mean?

You know exactly what I mean, you little how–

live in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Action.

[Soft music]

Welcome back to home & heart, everyone. I’m your host, haven de havilland. And tonight, I have two very special guests, flora gardens and sasha gilmore.

Thank you for having me, haven. Your viewers are in for a treat.

Oh, I hope so.

Robert, I just got off a long flight. I am very tired. It would be great if you weren’t here.

Hmm.

Or you could just help yourself to a glass of wine, I suppose.

[Wine pouring]

Oh, valentin, I see you made it out in one piece.

Yeah, thanks to the lovely anna.

Yeah, I heard– heard all about the heroics. Ah. Dashing into the chamber of death to save your sorry carcass again.

Yeah, we–we take turns. Sometimes she saves me. Sometimes I save her. Sometimes we get trapped together. We like to mix it up.

Next time, try doing it by yourself, and leave her out of it.

I chose to go on the rescue mission, robert. I chose to do that.

Much fun as this is, I’m gonna go put the pasta on.

I like mine al dente.

I have no idea why I would need to know that.

You need to stop. Because I know what you’re going to say.

Good. Then let’s say it together. Anna devane, what were you thinking?

Michael, I’m gonna light a candle for willow.

Okay. Willow will appreciate that. And I do too. See you tomorrow.

Yeah, tomorrow.

[Somber music]

So, sasha, this is your first television appearance since last year.

It is.

How are you holding up?

I am fantastic. And I am thrilled to introduce deception’s newest product, the deceptor.

Ooh. I’m still using my deception products, and I just love them.

I am so happy to hear that.

But it must have been a very trying year for you.

And now meet the deceptor wand.

Ooh! What does it do?

I am so happy you asked. The deceptor will help any woman of any age look her absolute best.

Oh. Well, we could all use that, am I right, ladies?

[Laughs]

Absolutely.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Auntie, if you just give me a chance to explain. Okay. I guess I don’t get a chance to explain. She hung up. Are you sharp? Means she’s embraced. Maybe the call got dropped. She told me there’s nothing else to talk about, and she hung up. So she called to tell you there’s nothing to talk about. No, she called to fire me.

I can’t believe that Seth Burns had the nerve to fire you. He found it unprofessional of me to not show up for work and not call in what you were being held captive. Apparently I needed a note from my kidnapper. I have to say, I did feel kind of sorry for him though. He clearly was disappointed that I wasn’t dead.

Oh, what a little worm. You know, he is a little worm. That’s why he caved so quickly when Stephanie gave him a preview of the disaster PR campaign that he’d be facing. Ugh. There’s still no word from Steve, huh? Nope. What time is it in Greece? You know, it doesn’t matter. Years of experience has taught me that I am not gonna hear from Steve until he and Chad fight Kate.

I patch clearing. Are you amazing? As a parrot cream beer, you’re hilarious. Oh, and you’re in over your head. The penalty for boarding the ship will stop permission. That’s death, ready to wipe the plank.

Ball bastard. He fought hard and still ended up dead on that wall just like you’re going. Don’t.

So you don’t want immunity for your crimes? Oh, no, no. I do. Along with something else. And I need everything. And it’s precise place in order for me to achieve my goal. Please don’t tell me you’re going after that damn peacock again. No. What I’m after is of a much more personal nature. You see what I’m hoping, Chad?

Thank God you’re okay. I knew it. Yeah, you Thanks Are tad premature. You see Kate and I are on a date and you’re not invited.

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

Sorry, pal, but you’re not going anywhere. Sorry pal, but I don’t think you thought this one through. Now how are you gonna kill me without hitting Kate here as well? And I doubt you’re a very good shot, Mr. Damara. Oh, so you remember me? Of course I do. You’re yet another one of Stefano Dara’s bastard children.

Oh, I prefer love child. Mm. Well you certainly have his arrogance, but none of his cunning. You see, he wildly overplayed your cards by bursting in that door right there, brandish your little cap pistol. You if guaranteed that neither one of you are. Getting off of this boat a lie.

I don’t suppose we can talk about this. You can talk to the boss now. Drop the gun, start walking. Keep your hands up.

You’re kind of dumb, aren’t you? And you’re going to be kind of dead. Hey, listen, if I were you, I wouldn’t be making pirate jokes. I’d be asking myself, where’d this dude come from? Hmm? You think I just made a wrong turn in the middle of the agenda? Now listen man, this boat that you’re defending, it’s part of a global search, and the fact that I’m on board means that global search was a success.

The Isa Interpol. Fbi, they all know where I am. Q E D. They know where you are, which means you don’t have a rat’s ass chance of getting away, and you don’t have a rat ass chance of staying alive. Hey, hey, I’m an ISSA agent. You know what happens if you kill an ISSA agent? Huh? The entire agency is devoted.

To making new pay. And when they get you, which they will, they’ll put you in the deepest, darkest hole you’ve ever seen. It’ll make Guantanamo Bay look like a vacation paradise. If you kill me, they will hurt you so bad, you’ll be begging them to kill you.

I love Maggie, but she should have given you a chance to explain why she was right. I blew the deal. Alex, you did not blow the deal. That guy, Yuri, he got cold feet, which may only be temporary. He said he was gonna sleep on it. Remember Alex? You didn’t hear her voice stuff. She wasn’t angry. She was just sad.

You don’t know what she has put up with from me. And I moved in with her and Uncle Vic and I moved into her home and I treated it like a frat house. I was arrogant and I was rude. And Auntie Maggie was Auntie Maggie. You know, she’s just always seeing the good in everybody. When I made it damn near impossible, what she thinks of me.

It’s one of the main reasons why I’m trying to change. It just kills me to let her down. I don’t think you did. Look, I was in that meeting. You were doing everything you could to save the deal. Steph, you said it yourself. I’m not authorized to change the terms of the agreement. I beg this woman to put me in charge.

I swore I would tell the lion and then as soon as she does, I disobey her direct orders. Okay. Because, because. You are blindsided by Yuri’s misgivings and, and you were just trying to be open-minded.

Look, I got Seth Burns to unfi my mom. I’m gonna call Maggie right now and work the same magic with her.

You would think after all these years, I would be used to not hearing from Steve. Right. Well, could you call Michaels, Roman said he was helping with the search. I think he would be about as impossible to get ahold of. How is Roman doing?

The way Roman always is, his facade does not crack. I mean, he has been through so much. He was scattering Kate’s ashes in Ireland, and then soon after that he finds out that she’s alive. Alive but in danger. And then he finds out that bow’s alive, but he is not the bow. We remember he is a bow who kidnaps people and now he’s in a coma.

And now he’s in a coma. Kayla, I am really worried about Sean. He did what he had to do. He thought Bo was gonna shoot his mother. Oh God, come on. He’s Irish. Guilt trump’s reality. If Bo doesn’t make it, Sean is gonna spend the rest of his life blaming himself. For killing his own dad.

You okay? Stupid question, but for real. What’s going on? Look, I just, I done seeing my dad. Any change? No. He’s still in a coma and nothing that indicates that he’s ever gonna come out of it. Well, you know what I mean? Come on. We just gotta keep faith. Hook a positive outlook at it at a decade of rosary.

He’s not gonna change anything. Listen, I shot my father and now my mother is. Your mother needs you. Your mother needs you, Sean. Alright, so you know what? Let’s go take a walk around the block, get some air. A walk is not gonna help either. Nothing’s gonna change the fact that Victor was right, right above what that this is my fault.

Well, agent Graham, it appears we’re at a standoff. The name is my Moisher. Dimitri of UN there. Well mine here, it really doesn’t matter what your name is, we’re still at a standoff. So in an order to ratchet down tension, I’m gonna take this gun and I’m gonna set it on this table here.

So how do we resolve this? But you just did, you put your gun down and now I shoot you. I know that’s, it’s true. You, you could, but you wouldn’t profit much from that, would you? Do you have any idea how much those other Dera bastards would pay for my safe return? Oh, that is certainly something to consider.

And, uh, upon further reflection, no, I think I’d just still like to kill you both.

Second time, I’ll take my chances with the isa.

Uh oh. That sounded like a gunshot to me. You don’t think I was stupid enough to come here alone? Do you, so you have a host of Eyes Agents, a Black Patch investigator, and the Navy Seal, the Messers Johnson and Michaels, right? Yes. We have been expecting you. And that’s why everyone on this ship is armed to the teeth and has standing orders to shoot, to kill.

I got another one out in the corridor. I had the situation under control. Yeah, sure. I, I could tell. Did you have to fire your weapon and let everyone on board know that we’re here? Don’t feel like you gotta thank me for just saving your ass.

Thank you. Let’s go find.

Talk Don Maggie. I did and I told her that I was in the room for the meeting and, and, and said that if I was in the room and I didn’t keep you in line, that Titan might be in the market for a new PR firm. You called to talk her outta firing me and she threatened to fire you. It’ll all be fine, at least for me.

But Alex, I’m so sorry. I don’t think she’s gonna give you your job back at least anytime soon. She seemed pretty upset.

There must be something else that we can do There is we can get drunk,

and that’s the problem. Nobody blames Sean. I mean, how could they give in all the things that Bo had done? Sean thought that Bo shot Kate, so when he saw him holding the gun, he thought his mom was next. Of course, that’s justified, but Sean just doesn’t see it that way and there’s no reasoning with him. So unfortunately, reasoning with a Brady doesn’t catch you very far.

He just sounds so bleak.

Take it from me, somebody who has been there so many times at home waiting for noose. You have to just hold on to the fact that hope is there for him and so is Roman. And they are gonna see him through this. I know, but they’re so concerned about Bo. No. You know what? Hope may be worrying about Bo, but she’s never gonna lose track of Sean.

She’s not. So we just have to try to hang in there. I mean, what choice do we have?

Whoa. Fuck. Let me get this straight. Victor blamed you. The man who’s broken every damn law and commandment that ever existed is blaming you for trying to save your mother’s life. Who in the hell is he to pass judgment? Uncle Roman. Eddie. You know mom or here? She’s Jeremy new one, but she’s not. I am. So I guess the privilege is all mine.

No, no, no. Go Roman. No, don’t. Please. It’s bad enough in there. My mom and Sierra, they can barely keep it together as it is. What pompous as he can’t just get away with it. He’s, he’s not getting away with anything. He’s telling the truth. I’m the one that fired the shot. You thought your dead was gonna kill your mom.

Yeah, but I was wrong. Okay. He wasn’t, it’s not like I just shot him in the, the leg and I like, I just disarm him or something and he.

He’s just lying in there. He’s lying in that bed and he may never, he may never come out of it. He’s gone, come on, come here.

That’s my father in there, and I missed him so much. He’s a good man and he kidnapped Kayla and we thought he killed Kate. Yep, but he didn’t. That right there, that just proves it, proves that I made the wrong call.

This your handy work. It’s been a busy night.

I am sure you both have spaces reserved in the der crypt, but you’re just gonna have to settle for burial. Let’s see,

the calvary has finally arrived. Make yourselves at home. Too bad I still have a gun point in the head of the woman

you wanted to dance with me dear. Good dance move.

Thank God you’re okay. Oh, thanks to you. Okay. I already radioed this, uh, coast Guard. Come pick up this clown. And you are? Uh, this is Commander Michaels. Wow. Nice to meet you, commander. You have a perfect sense of timing. Hello Steve. How are things? Getting a whole lot better. Kate, how about with you? Same.

Thanks. Well, I’ll stay here and babysit this guy while you two get Kate back to the mainland. I’m sure you’re looking forward to getting off this boat as soon as possible. Well, I am not going to argue with that and as soon as we are on dry land, drinks are on me.

I don’t think I like becoming a better person. Ready, ready to backslide already. Maybe.

I just feel bad about everything bad that Uncle Vic and Auntie Mag don’t trust me bad. That now I’m letting her down as she’s taking care of Uncle Vic. Bad that she has to worry about tightening and Uncle Victor and I, worst of all, worst of all, I feel bad that now you’re in trouble with Maggie too. I just feel bad for messing up everything.

For everybody. I hate feeling bad. Not many people like it. You know, things were so much more simple when I was just shallow and self-absorbed. Really, and you were so good at it. Yeah. Until I met you. You really screwed me up Johnson. Right outta nowhere. You blew me right off course I did. You did.

You know, one of the things I’m working on right now with Dr. Evans is, uh,

It’s giving up meaningless sex. Okay? The thing is, before I met you, I didn’t know I was having meaningless sex. Uh, I thought it was great, not meaningless. Then I saw the way that you looked at me. I started looking at myself the same way. I’m sorry. I guess don’t be really, it’s not your faulty ride on my league.

The thing is, for a moment there, I really thought I had a shot with you, but then I blew it. It’s like I blow everything.

Wait, wait. I can’t leave until I get my ring. Wait, what? Wait, wait, wait. Where did you, where did you leave it? No, I didn’t. I didn’t leave it anywhere. Where? Dimitri’s goon. He took it from me and he kept it. Okay. He’s a, he’s a big guy with a shaved head. The goatee. What are you talking about? We have to get outta here.

No, I’m not leaving without that rape. Roman gave it to me. I saw that guy. I know Justin, where to find him. Okay, let’s go.

I don’t know. EJ offered me the Dira jet to take to Greece and I said no, because I’m working this court case, but maybe I could get a postponement, but, but, Even if I was there, even if I was right by Sean’s side, he would keep you a million miles away from his feelings. I know I have two brothers and a husband who are very similar.

Oh, I know you do. Cut Kayla. I just. I feel so helpless. I can relate all too well. Listen to me, sweetie. Sean just needs some time to heal and when he is gotten some perspective on all this, he’s gonna open up to you and then you’re not gonna feel helpless anymore because he’s gonna need you so much. And I know you, you’ll give him a hundred percent.

Any news on, uh, okay. Uh, Steven, Chad, or, uh, trying to chuck it out along with Harris Michaels. You still don’t trust him? Well, I’m just not sure, but, uh, Andrew thinks he can help. Well, I mean, he did save Chad and Stephanie from Thomas Banks, and I wish there was something that, that I could do, but I’m probably wouldn’t be any help.

Yes, you would, Sean. Yes, you would. But your place is here with your mom and your dad. When your dad wakes up, he’s gonna tell you the same damn thing I’m gonna tell you right now. Okay? You made an impossible choice to protect someone you love. That is exactly what your dad would’ve done.

Now you think he can go back in and see?

I hope they find Kate soon.

He was right here looking for me.

It’s okay. Harris took his gun. It’s not okay. I have a spare.

So Commander Michaels, do you think you finally redeemed yourself? How much does this cost anyway? Do you assume? That your heroic acts this evening have in some way atoned for all of the sins you’ve committed, both before and after being under the influence of Meghan Hathaway.

I knew we should have gagged you. Do you really think that this one tiny good deed has in some way outweighed all of the bad? Wait, is that why you want to stay behind and be the one to personally hand me over to the isa?

Maybe I just wanted to see the look on your face when they drag you out kicking and screaming to one of those black sites.

Do you really think that’s gonna happen?

Oh, it’s getting late and it’s even later in Greece. You know what? Why don’t you give him a call? I mean, he may not answer, but he’ll know you’re thinking of him. Yeah, I will. Thank you for listening. I will pray for Steve and Chad to bring Kit Home. Safe and sound. Yeah.

Look Alex. I know, I know You’re with Chad now and hasn’t evolved. Newly woke man. I respect it. What a not shallow thing to say. Mm. And just to be clear, I said I respect it, but I still hate it. One step at a time. Mm. You know, sometimes, just like right now, it’s really hard to see the point in changing. Well, you don’t get what you want anyway.

And uh, yeah, I was a great stud. I’m a D minus Nice guy. Wow. You get an A for effort. Oh yeah. Right. Thank you. No, seriously what you’re doing. Therapy. Trying to change that takes a lot of courage. I’m talking to Dr. Evans about my childhood isn’t exactly charging into a burning building. I actually think charging into a burning building would be easier for you.

Hmm. Look, this has been a bad day, but it’s just one day. The stuff with Maggie, it’s just a temporary setback. I mean, how many CEOs has Victor gone through? Hmm. Sunny Grady, Phillip, uh, it’s not exactly a tenanted position. No, but at the end of the day, it’s just a job therapy. That is a very big deal. So don’t give up after just one bad day.

I mean, look, you’ve only just started and. Already this version of you. Wow. I think it’s way better than the last one. Alex Kiya is 2.0. Mm-hmm. Yeah. How about another drink? Sure. First, I need to run to the ladies’ room. All right. Go to some appetizers. All this self-awareness talk. It’s making me hungry.

Hey, what’s up Chad? It’s Alex.

Why are you answering Stephanie’s phone?

What are you doing here? I’m looking for you, dude. You’re hurt. Kate, did you find her? What happened?

They found me.

Hey Sean, it’s me. Um, I just wanted to tell you, us thinking about you and give me a call whenever. I mean it whenever. I love you,

Stephanie’s in the ladies’ room. I knew she wouldn’t wanna miss your call, so I picked up. Thank you. We had a client meeting at the bistro. We’re just finishing up right now, but she’s really worried about you, man. Everything okay over there? Oh, you know what? She’s coming back right now. Hang on a second.

It’s Chad. I picked up only because I didn’t want you to miss it. Chad, are you all right? Y Yeah, I’m fine. Hang on. Call me tomorrow. I will. And thank you for being in my corner today. Run the world to me. Hey, I’m back drinks with Alex uh, Titan Business. Tell me what’s going on. Do you have any news? Uh, yeah.

Um, You, uh, your dad and I and, and, um, and Michael’s. We, uh, we found Kate. She’s, uh, she’s okay. Everything’s fine. Oh my God, that’s wonderful. And the best thing is, is she’s still Kate feisty as hell. Resilient. I’ll, uh, I’ll tell you the whole story when I get back, but, um, Steph, Look. First of all, he’s fine. My dad, I’m telling you, he’s fine.

And he, and he’s gonna call you as soon as he talks to your mom. But what happened? Well, he got shot in the arm. Um, oh. It just grazed him. The hospital already released him. Uh, I promise you he’s, he’s fine.

I believe you. Does this mean that you’re all coming home now? Well, I don’t know about anybody else, but I’m on the first flight back to Salem. You got shot? Yeah, baby. But I promise you it’s just a scratch and lemme tell you something, it was worth it. You should have seen the look on Roman’s face when he saw Kate.

So she’s okay. Well she’s with Roman now. I think she’s a lot better than Okay. So you’ll tell everyone that I’ll call them in the morning, right? It no, Austin, I’m, I’m fine. I really am. I’m just exhausted. Yes, yes, I will. I love you.

So he is going to tell everyone for me. He also said to tell you that he’s very happy for you.

I miss your shoulder. Oh, you’re sure you’re fine. Yes, I’m fine. The doctor said All I need is rest.

You know, the whole time, the whole time that I was there, I wasn’t afraid of vegan and I wasn’t afraid of Dimitri. Well, you really should have been. But I was absolutely terrified of losing you. Well. You’ll never have to worry about that again because I am never gonna let you out of my sight again, ever.

So here’s what’s gonna happen. When the ISA gets here. They’re gonna take you for a little ride and dump your ass in a black hole somewhere where nobody has to look at your stupid face or listen to your crappy American accent ever again. When Stephen Chad took Kate outta here, you lost your leverage. A hostage situation only works when there actually is a hostage.

No, that’s true.

The thing is, Kate Brady wasn’t my only hostage.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Do you think maybe, uh,ut t with the forrester pilot again just to see, like, if you know, like there’s like an update or something.

Steffy: It hasn’t been that long since I spoke to him. He said he would get back to me once the repairs are done. And he said it’s– it doesn’t look like it’s gonna be fixed tonight, so.

Liam: Dude, it was supposed to be just like a quick trip. There and back, they go, they have the meeting and then they’re on a flight back to L.A.

Steffy: Okay, but who knew that the forrester jet would have mechanical problems?

Liam: I know. She was supposed to be home by now and now it looks like she’s gonna spend the night there with him?

Steffy: Okay, liam, I know it’s not ideal, but it’s not the end of the world.

Liam: If thomas behaves himself.

Steffy: There’s no reason to think he won’T.

Liam: I don’t know, could be a bit of a temptation. Your brother, my wife. Together, hundreds of miles away alone for the night. I don’t even like the fact that my mind is going there, but it’s going there and I have to admit it and I just, you know, like there’s a lot– there’s so many things I can forgive but not that, you know, never, never that.

Thomas: You are the most principled and– and moral person I’ve ever met. You’re nothing like your mother. You love your family. You always wanna be with liam and– and nothing is gonna come between you two.

Hope: Thank you. Thank you. Yeah.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Here.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Heartbeat thumping ]

Liam: I should have seen this coming.

Steffy: No one could have predicted that the jet would break down.

Liam: Not the– not the jet breaking down, but I– I could have predicted that things like this would start to happen if hope brought thomas back to work on her line.

Steffy: What are you talking about?

Liam: There’s always gonna be business trips. There’s always gonna be these special, personal appearances that hope has to make to promote her line. I mean, it’s naive to think that thomas wouldn’t want to tag along every chance he gets.

Steffy: Whoa, liam. That’s not what happened. The buyers wanted to see thomas. He didn’t just horn in to be around hope.

Liam: That– I’m not saying that’s what happened this time. I’m saying– let’s say his obsession with hope kicks in again. Okay, this is– this is exactly the kind of opportunity that he could seize upon. They’re in san francisco.

Steffy: Okay, liam, I am telling you, thomas is not gonna be an issue when it comes to hope.

Liam: You really believe that?

Steffy: I really believe that.

Liam: So, I have– I have nothing to worry about? Nothing at all.

Steffy: Hope, tell me the truth. You have feelings for him.

[ Heart beating ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Hope: It’s trevor.

Thomas: Okay.

Hope: Hi. Hi. Any news?

Trevor: Yes. Good news. We were finally able to get all the mechanical issues fixed.

Hope: Okay. So, the jet’s all set to go?

Trevor: I’m sorry about the delay, but we are a go. And hope? Did you hear me? As soon as you get to the airport, we’ll be ready to go.

Hope: Yes. Okay. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thomas and I will be there soon. Special k is oven-toasted to crisp perfection

Steffy: Okay. Okay. I have tried to reassure you every way I know how about my brother, but I really don’t know what else I can say.

Liam: I know. I know. Hey, I do have a certain psychiatrist you would totally get along with because taylor had plenty to say about how thomas has changed and he’s not the same person. He’s been doing work on himself and that change is real and lasting and important.

Steffy: Yeah? Did my mom– did she sway you?

[ Blows raspberry ]

Liam: No, she didn’t sway me. But I do understand why she thinks I’m the one being unreasonable.

Steffy: Look, my mom respects you. And you’re right to feel the way that you do.

Liam: Listen, I get it. It’s like you, your mom, your dad, your whole family, even hope. I mean, like literally everybody thinks I just need to get over myself and accept that thomas has changed.

Steffy: Thomas is just trying to be his best self. New and improved thomas forrester. There’s no hint of him backsliding.

Liam: Mm-hmm.

Steffy: I don’t believe he’s gonna initiate anything.

Liam: Well, he better not because he’s already created a lot of friction in my marriage and I’m not gonna let anything come between us. Especially not him.

Hope: So, the jet’s ready to go. So, we should get ready to head to the airport.

Thomas: Sure. Um, do you wanna call liam? I’m sure he’ll be relieved knowing you’ll be home tonight.

Hope: Right, yeah. Of course.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Phone beeps ]

Liam: Hey, you okay?

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. The pilot just called and they fixed the jet.

Liam: Are you flying home tonight?

Hope: Yep.

Liam: Good.

Hope: Good. I’m anxious to get home.

Liam: Yeah. No kidding. It’s– it’s been, what? Less than a day and it just feels like so much longer than that.

Hope: Well, I love you and I can’t wait to be in your arms again.

Liam: I like the sound of that. Um… I love you too. Uh… be safe and I’ll see you soon.

Steffy: They’re on their way back?

Liam: Yeah. So that’s– hey! Don’t have to have that in my head for the rest of the night. Hopefully, right?

Steffy: It’s great. I’m telling you, thomas is doing the work as a designer, as a co-parent, for douglas. Thomas isn’t the one you should be concerned about.

Steffy: He has his hat on straight.

Liam: I really wanna believe that.

Thomas: All right, I texted the front desk and cancelled that other room. Got everything?

Hope: I think so. You?

Thomas: Think so.

Hope: Good, I’m glad we were able to go home tonight.

Thomas: Home to your husband and family. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Finn: You– you relax. I already put the kids down. I whipped up a light dinner, the two of us and we can eat after you–

Steffy: Thank you.

Finn: Unwind.

Steffy: What did I do to deserve being married to such an incredible husband? Really?

Finn: I’m sure you’ll show your appreciation later.

Steffy: Oh, you best believe it.

Finn: So your text said you were at spencer publications?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I needed to talk to liam.

Finn: About eye on fashion?

Steffy: No, about um, hope and thomas. I was just… checking in on him about their business trip to san francisco.

Finn: Oh, yeah. Is liam doing any better with that? He didn’t seem too thrilled when it came up. Yeah, he was even less than thrilled when hope called and said that she wasn’t gonna make it back tonight.

Finn: What do you mean? There was something wrong with the jet. Some kind of like malfunction and they weren’t sure if they’re gonna be able to fix it and– anyways, it looked like hope and thomas were gonna spend the night in san francisco.

Finn: Wow. Wait. Oh, so, your brother and hope alone together overnight.

[ Chuckles ] I can only imagine how liam reacted to that.

[ Steffy sighs ] We all know he doesn’t trust your brother.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. Liam can’t get past everything that thomas has done. He keeps thinking that thomas is going to revert to his old ways.

Finn: So, did they make it back to L.A. At least?

Steffy: Uh, yeah, they’re– the plane’s fixed and they’re on their way now.

Finn: Okay, good. So no harm, no foul, liam can relax.

Steffy: Yeah. Um, actually, there’s more.

Finn: Concerning liam and thomas?

Steffy? No. Concerning hope.

Wyatt: I mean, should we tell dad about the final numbers? What do you think he’s gonna say? You know, I know he said he liked the company and that he wanted us to pull the trigger and– and you know, lock it in and everything. It’s just, I don’t know. Are we moving too fast? I mean, are we not seeing something here? Are we overlooking anything that could be like a problem for the company later on? I’m just not– I don’t know. I’m freaking out here. Liam?

Liam: Yo.

Wyatt: Hey!

Liam: Hey.

Wyatt: I could use your feedback here. Is there something we’re overlooking that could come back and bite us in the butt later?

Liam: Um, yeah. I just, um– I don’t see anything. Really. Like– what are you doing?

Wyatt: This isn’t even the document I’m talking about right now! This is the page that we’re on. Can you please keep up? I’m gonna have to hold you down and force feed you red meat.

Liam: It’s kind of a funny joke.

Wyatt: Okay.

Liam: What– what do you, why are you getting all heavy?

Wyatt: What is it?

Liam: There’s not– what?

Wyatt: What is it? What’s got you distracted right now?

Liam: Well–

Wyatt: You can tell me because I’ll just give you some sage brotherly advice like I always do and then we can get back to our little $80 million acquisition, huh? What do you think about that? What? Is it hope and thomas again? Are they spending late nights at the office or something? This is getting really old–

Liam: They’re not at the office. They’re not even in town.

Wyatt: Wait, what?

Liam: Yeah, thomas and my wife are in san francisco together right now.

Trevor: Apologies again for the delay.

Hope: Oh, no, it’s totally okay, trevor. We understand.

Thomas: Yeah, these things happen sometimes. It’s nobody’s fault.

Hope: We’re just grateful that the issue’s been fixed and we can head home.

Trevor: Okay. Well, we’ll be in the air momentarily and I promise I will get you both home safely, asap. I can imagine you can’t wait to see your families, right?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: Thanks. So…

Hope: So.

Thomas: Boss. Congratulations on a very, very successful trip. I mean, the buyers could not have been more impressed.

Hope: Well, I think there’s no denying what they said. Which is that we make a pretty impressive team. Partial response:

Wyatt: Well, look, all’s well, that ends well, right? The jet’s fixed. Hope will be back tonight, probably in time to put the kids to bed and you for that matter.

Liam: Yeah, well, here’s hoping.

Wyatt: Look, man, I know this is your worst nightmare here. Your wife being stranded in another city with the guy who’s literally been obsessing over her for several years.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know. But, well, thankfully, uh, he behaved himself and didn’t take advantage, so. Yay.

Wyatt: That’s good. You know, that for sure? I never know anything for sure, but… hope would have told me if he’d tried anything.

Wyatt: Well, I bet he was tempted though, right?

Liam: Yeah, his sister would beg to differ.

Wyatt: Steffy. What does she have to do with it?

Liam: Sorry, she was– she was here earlier and you know, obviously she’s team thomas all the way, you know.

Wyatt: Why? Because they’re family?

Liam: [ Laughs ] No. I mean, yeah, they’re family and that makes a difference. But no, she’s always been pretty, uh, I don’t know, she’s got a good read on thomas. She’s always objective. She– she doesn’t make excuses for his behavior. She calls him out. And so, it’s kind of different. Like when steffy says that he’s a changed man–

Wyatt: You’ve gotta believe her?

Liam: I was gonna say I feel even more alone. But…

Finn: You know, we don’t have to talk about hope or thomas or liam when we’re alone like this together. We get such little time to ourselves as it is. But I can see you’re still distracted. So, lay it on me. What is it? Something about hope you said?

Steffy: Actually, liam. Something he said.

Finn: What, when you two were together earlier?

Steffy: Yeah. He said if– if hope ever crossed the line with thomas, he wouldn’t be able to forgive her.

Finn: Okay. Yeah, well, I get where liam is coming from, but that’s not gonna be an issue, right? ‘Cause you trust your brother, he’s not gonna get fixated on hope again. So, this is all– wait, what is it? Babe? What aren’t you telling me? What is it?

Steffy: What I didn’t say to liam is that… it’s not thomas he should be concerned about. It’s hope.

Thomas: You okay?

Hope: Yeah, it’s just my neck. It’s seizing up. I think it’s from the stress of everything.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, I get that all the time. You’re feeling it up here, but it’s actually right here. Yeah. You feel that knot?

Hope: Yeah.

[ Heart beating ]

[ Speaker beeping ]

Trevor: We’ll be starting our descent soon. Please prepare for landing.

Thomas: Hey, you heard him. Soon, hope. You’ll be home soon.

Jack: Can we meet? Something you need to hear. Hmm. Sure thing. Drop by. Home all day.

Tucker: Hey, jack. How goes it?

Jack: You know, just when I think you couldn’t stoop any lower, you couldn’t do any worse, you somehow always manage to surprise me. Let’s talk. Shall we?

[ Phone chiming ]

Daniel: Great.

Michael: Nice to see you too.

Daniel: Hey, um, do– do you have a minute?

Michael: Actually, I don’T.

Daniel: Good. Let’s go.

Michael: No. I mean, why? Where? And again, why?

Daniel: We need a lawyer and you’re the best in town.

Michael: Huh. Well, flattery will get you everywhere, but actually I’m working on diane’s case at the moment.

Daniel: We’re going to the abbott house.

Michael: Is this about diane?

Daniel: It’s about proving once and for all that she didn’t kill my mother.

Michael: Oh. What are we waiting for, then?

Billy: I wonder what’s keeping connor and chelsea?

Johnny: Maybe he just had his weekly nerd club meeting.

Billy: Easy. That’s your kid brother.

Johnny: Exactly. That’s why I get to say stuff like that. Back when he was just my cousin, it was a completely different story.

Billy: Right, right, right. So, let me get this straight. You can only say things like that if it comes from love?

Johnny: Yeah.

Billy: Ah. You two still gaming together?

Johnny: We haven’t played much lately.

Billy: Too much homework?

Johnny: Not for me. Also, when I try to talk to him at school, it’s like, I don’t know, like he’s avoiding me.

Billy: Really? Why? Why do you think that is?

Johnny: Don’t know. Maybe there’s something going on that no one’s told me about.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Look, um… your uncle adam is having another baby. A girl.

Johnny: With sally?

Billy: Yes, with sally. Which, you know, gets a little awkward because your uncle nick is dating sally.

Johnny: Well, at least she’s gonna be too little to talk all day long. Unlike some people I know–

[ Sneezes ] Katie.

Billy: Easy. You are talking about my daughter, young man.

Johnny: Mm. Well, maybe connor’s getting the better deal with his sister. When he gets here I’ll offer him to trade.

Connor: Trade what?

Devon: You ready? Don’t be nervous. Oh, look who it is.

Harmony: Oh, my gosh! Will you look at this handsome little man?

Devon: Dominic…

Harmony: Oh, my gosh.

Devon: …I want you to meet your grandma.

Harmony: Well, hello.

Devon: Say hi.

Harmony: How are you? Aren’t you just the cutest little thing! Oh, my god! [ Laughs ]

Devon: Say hello. You wanna hold him?

Harmony: Yes.

Devon: Yeah?

Harmony: Ah. Oh, my god. We are gonna have the best time today. Do you know that? Look at your cute little outfit. Look at your dinosaur that matches your dinosaur. Aren’t you just the most precious thing in the world?

Devon: Say, “thank you, grandma.”

Harmony: Oh, you are all mine today. You are. Yes, you are. Will you look at this face?

Devon: I know.

Harmony: This face. Ah, it reminds you how the world is just a wondrous place. Full of miracles. Yes, it is. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Additional sponsorship provided by…. my cholesterol is borderline.

Chelsea: Sorry we kept you guys waiting.

Billy: Oh, that’s all right. It’s all right. Is everything good?

Chelsea: Yeah, it’s good.

Connor: So, what are we trading?

Billy: Well, I was just telling johnny that you are expecting a new baby sister.

Johnny: Welcome to the big brothers club.

Connor: Right. Whoop-de-doo.

Johnny: Oh, here’s the good news. She’s not living under your roof and she’ll be too little to talk, so…

Connor: I’m not hungry. I just wanna go home.

Chelsea: Really? This is the first time this kid’s ever turned down a snack.

Billy: You know, there are benefits to having a sister. There are. Why don’t you fill him in? Tell– tell the young man all the great things.

Johnny: Well, first time she burps the way you taught her to, that’s cool. Also, you can take your broccoli from your plate and just put it on her plate–

Billy: Okay. You’re done. Cut off.

Johnny: Hey, I speak the truth.

Billy: Don’t listen to anything he says.

Chelsea: What can we get you, sweetheart? Do you want a pizza?

Johnny: I’m in.

Billy: What do you want, buddy?

Connor: Nothing.

Billy: Nothing like nothing on your pizza or just like nothing at all?

Connor: Nothing! At all.

Devon: You know, you’re definitely gonna have to visit a lot more often ’cause dominic clearly is in love with you. You wore him out.

Harmony: [ Laughs ] That’s the joy of being a grandmother, you know? It’s a different kind of love.

Devon: Yeah, I guess so.

Harmony: You know it makes me think of my own mother? God, she used to love you up.

Devon: Oh, I remember. I was very lucky. I’ve had a lot of incredible people in my life.

Harmony: Yes. And you’re making every single one of them incredibly proud.

Devon: Yeah.

Harmony: Especially as a dad.

Devon: Well, that means everything to me. So, thank you.

Harmony: Yeah. And now you’ve got tucker on your side.

Devon: Mm.

Harmony: I mean, it’s good of him to be making the effort, I suppose.

Devon: Yeah. It’s better late than never.

Harmony: You gotta give the guy some credit, right?

Devon: Do I?

Harmony: [ Sighs ] Listen, okay? The sad and awful truth is, is not everybody’s cut out to be a parent. Okay? And– or takes to it as naturally as neil did. And by the time most people figure that out about themselves, it’s too late. You’re lucky to have had him.

Devon: Yeah. I… having neil as a role model has changed my whole world. I wanna ask you a question, though.

Harmony: Ask away.

Devon: I know I kinda put you on the spot the other night when I asked your opinion about me changing my last name.

Harmony: You mean like all those people standing around? What would I have said if it was just the two of us?

Devon: Yeah, something like that.

Harmony: Okay. Well, here’s your chance.

Devon: Okay. Are you really okay with me doing that? And going by devon winters?

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: I feel like I’ve been called into the principal’s office. What’s my offense? Was that your half a grapefruit I ate this morning?

Jack: What is your excuse for what you did to diane?

Tucker: You’re gonna have to be more specific.

Jack: Trying to convince her to leave town right after I managed to get a judge to allow us to post bail. Why would you put her freedom in jeopardy?

Tucker: Is that how she framed it? That’s not wholly accurate. I just helped her face facts.

Jack: Oh, and what are the facts according to tucker mccall?

Tucker: Well, the evidence is starting to pile up against her, jack. And she’s got her checkered past to contend with also. So, I merely illustrated her choices, which are, according to tucker mccall, uh, to re-traumatize you and her son by putting you both through a very public trial, which will most likely lead to her conviction, or she can leave.

Jack: Oh, so, did you give her this little pep talk at ashley’s behest?

Tucker: Yeah. No. No, not at all. You know, diane and I have a history of our own, and I care about her.

Jack: She does not need you to tell her what she is up against.

Tucker: I don’t think you’re quite getting what I’m talking about here. She has to convince not only a judge, but half the people in this town, and her daughter-in-law, that she is blameless in this. And if you think that coming back to genoa city has earned diane anything but sneers and whispers, think again. And now she’s charged with murder. And you think I’m a bad guy for telling her to get out while she can? I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Jack: You’ve forgotten one very important thing: Diane is innocent.

Tucker: As if that matters. Well, it matters to you, of course. But, jack, you know as well as I do, the people in this town never let go of anything. And this stain on diane is just gonna trickle down all the way to harrison.

Jack: What are you talking about?

Tucker: Well, do you think that walnut grove is going to sell diane’s brownies at their bake sale? And are you sure your companies are gonna survive her presence in your life? Listen, even if she is found innocent, she’s always going to be labeled genoa city’s murderer. Period. I mean, do you really want to help her?

Jack: Of course, I do.

Tucker: Okay. Then do whatever you can, legally or otherwise, to get her the hell out of this place. Anyway, I’m gonna take my leave of you now, gonna find a nice quiet place to relax and enjoy my life. Everyone’s so tense around here, bro.

[ Tucker sighs ]

[ Door slams shut ]

Devon: I wanna make sure that you know that by me doing this, it doesn’t change what you mean to me or I don’t–

Harmony: Well–

Devon: I’m not gonna forget where I come from.

Harmony: That’s good to know.

Devon: It’s the truth. It just feels right to go by winters.

Harmony: A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, right?

Devon: I’m getting shakespeare.

[ Harmony laughs ]

Harmony: You know, I have gone by a few names myself. Doesn’t change what’s on the inside. You can call yourself the crown prince of genoa city. Okay? You will always be my son. Can you imagine living in a world where you weren’t free to be who you wanna be? My grandson, he is the luckiest kid in the world. He’s gonna be able to grow up to be a– a what? A– a musician or a business tycoon or even a statesman.

Devon: Yeah.

Harmony: All of the above or anything in between.

Devon: He can do it all. He can be a carpenter.

Harmony: Right?

Devon: Be a pilot.

[ Both laugh ]

Harmony: A world without limits and you ought make it fun for him, you know? That way, he won’t know that he’s learning. He’ll just learn to love it, whatever it is.

[ Xylophone toy dings ]

Devon: That’s true.

[ Laughs ] That’s very true. It was really nice to see you playing with him today. He was… he was having a lot of fun.

Harmony: Wasn’t he?

Devon: Yeah.

Harmony: You know, I used to play with you like that.

Devon: I remember.

Harmony: Oh, no, you don’T. You–

Devon: I do.

Harmony: That’s impossible.

Devon: No, it’s not. I definitely remember. We used to build forts all the time. We used to build forts with all those blankets that we had and you would make snacks.

Harmony: Yes. Cheese and crackers.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Harmony: Yep. I did the best with what I had.

Devon: Yeah. And you always had music playing, too.

Harmony: Mm. Now, what is life without music?

[ Clicks tongue ]

Devon: Those are good memories.

Harmony: Mm. They weren’t anything special.

Devon: They were very special to me. It was the times that were good that you never forget.

Harmony: Yeah.

Devon: I didn’t mean to say that to make you feel bad or…

Harmony: It’s all good. I know what you meant. I know there was a lot of not so good times. I’m sorry about that.

Devon: It’s okay, mom. You’re here. You’re here today.

Harmony: Mm.

> Devon: You’re here today. And dominic gets to grow up and have you in his life. And he gets to have the best of you. He gets to have a grandmother that’ll get on the floor with him and play with toys and make sound effects like you used to do with me.

Harmony: Yeah, those were some fun memories, weren’t they?

Devon: They were really fun times. And no matter what I’m ever going through in my life, remembering those fun times with you, it always put a smile on my face.

Billy: Let me tell you a little something about a ham and pineapple pizza. Okay? Don’t make that face. I know. I get it. It sounds like total chaos on a pizza crust, but it’s perfect. The sweetness of the pineapple coming together with the saltiness of the ham, I mean, it’s divine.

Chelsea: Ooh. I’m down. New is good.

Billy: New is good.

Johnny: Ooh, okay. Um, how about we get two pizzas? One for the people with the dead taste buds and one for the bros.

Billy: Mm.

Connor: Is this the part where we do the pretending?

Chelsea: Sweetheart, what are you talking about?

Connor: Everything. That’s not the point.

Billy: Okay. I could use a little bit of fresh air. What do you say? You wanna join me, connor? Yeah. Of course, you do. You don’t mind, do you?

Chelsea: Not at all.

Billy: Okay. Come on. After you.

[ Chelsea exhales ]

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: Hey. Where’s mom?

Jack: She is upstairs resting.

Kyle: Oh, she’s sleeping in an actual bed in a quiet room after getting outta jail. She must feel like royalty.

Jack: Yeah. We finally get her out of that den of thieves and she comes home to a full dose of our resident bottom feeder.

Kyle: Mm. Tucker? What happened?

Jack: I– I don’t want you worrying about tucker. How are things going with summer?

Kyle: Every time I try to get her to sit and talk to me, she jumps up and finds an excuse to take off.

Jack: To where?

Kyle: She packed up harrison and they took off to parts unknown, which is actually fine because the less she knows about me trying to dig up info on stark, the better.

Jack: I hate that you’re involved in any of that. I know I can’t stop you. Promise me you will be careful.

[ Knock at door ]

Kyle: I got it. Daniel.

Daniel: Hey, kyle. Is your dad home?

Kyle: Yeah, he’s in there.

Daniel: Uh, whoa, whoa. We got one more coming.

Kyle: Who?

Michael: Hey.

Kyle: Hey.

Michael: That would be me.

Kyle: What’s going on? Dad?

Jack: I am not sure I know myself.

Michael: That makes three of us.

Daniel: Where’s summer?

Kyle: She’s out.

Daniel: Good. Good. I don’t– I don’t think she’s ready for what I’m about to say.

Jack: What’s going on, daniel? What’s wrong?

Daniel: Phyllis is alive. – This is our premium platinum coverage map

Billy: So, look, buddy, it’s a lot, right? You know, it’s kind of a big deal to find out that you’re gonna have a new baby sister. I get that. But that doesn’t mean your parents are gonna love you any less.

Connor: I know that. I’m not five.

Billy: No, you’re not. And that’s a good thing. So, why don’t you tell me what the problem is?

Connor: Because my life is picture perfect?

Billy: Well, you know, now that I think about it, you do have a lot going on. But everybody does. So, why don’t you be specific. Why don’t you tell me what you’re upset about?

Connor: Does it even matter?

Johnny: Should we start with ice cream?

Chelsea: Mm. Words to live by.

[ Chelsea exhales ]

Johnny: Sorry, I’m not really good at being a helpful big brother.

Chelsea: But you’re katie’s big brother.

Johnny: Yeah. And she’s not really the worst as far as siblings go. Please do not tell her I said that.

Chelsea: Cross my heart. You may not know this, but katie is crazy about you. I never had a brother or sister, so katie’s lucky to have you. And connor is, too, even though he doesn’t act like it all the time.

Johnny: I’ll be right back.

[ Sighing ]

Harmony: You know, I have a lot of good memories of our time together.

Devon: Do you?

Harmony: Yeah. One in particular.

Devon: What is it?

Harmony: Um, you were about four or five, I don’t remember, but it doesn’t matter. Um, there was this park near our place.

Devon: Yeah, yeah.

Harmony: It’s this little sliver of land with, like, these bushes and swings and, um, there were these two toy cars sitting out there, almost like they were sitting there waiting for their owner to come back.

Devon: Mm.

Harmony: And so we stopped and we looked around and there was nobody around. So, the next morning when we came back, you’d sneak a look to see, because you were afraid somebody might have come and claimed them, right? And so you go, “one more day. One more day, mama. And then I can take ’em home.” And I’m like, “well, that sounds fair to me.”

Devon: And then what happened?

Harmony: Said you waited three whole days because you didn’t want some kid to come back and not be able to find his toys.

Devon: Oh.

Harmony: Yeah. You just couldn’t handle that. But when we came back to the park–

Devon: They were still there?

Harmony: Yep. And you brought them home and you put them up on the shelf and you took such good care of them, like they were gold. Yeah. And that’s when I knew who you were.

Devon: And who’s that?

Harmony: A man that was willing to wait for his blessings. Who is generous. Who thinks about other people and wants to give other people a chance. And a man who really likes cars.

Devon: [ Laughs ] You got the car part right for sure.

Harmony: Yeah. You know, it’s like those cars were meant for you. Like, this whole life that you’ve created for yourself, it’s meant for you. That’s why I know that dominic will get all the blessings that were meant for him. And I’m not talking about toys and money. I’m talking about the things that money can’t buy. You know, never-ending supply of people who will love and support and guide him. He’s a very lucky little man indeed.

Daniel: Look, you don’t understand. I have seen my mother.

Michael: I’ve seen your mother, too.

Daniel: You have?

Michael: Yeah. In my thoughts.

Daniel: No, no, no, no. Michael, I’m talking about in real life. Living, breathing, speaking. Look, I got a phone call the other night, I don’t know from who. They asked me to meet them in the park at the lookout. So, I went. It was mom. I mean, I thought I was hallucinating, but she was real. Her death was a lie.

Kyle: Wait, wait. Why didn’t she call summer?

Daniel: I don’t know, kyle. I don’t know. Maybe she thought that summer was too loyal to you and jack and she couldn’t trust her to be unbiased.

Michael: Did she tell you what happened the night of the gala?

Daniel: She did. She told me the whole story. She told me that stark had concocted this whole scheme to try and take down diane, just as we all suspected. And stark coerced her to– to help him. But he lied to her. He manipulated her. He threatened her. And eventually, she gave in and she did whatever he demanded.

Jack: What about the fight? We– and we all saw her collapse.

Daniel: We did. It was all staged, jack. And then after she was dead, she decided, you know, she was having second thoughts. She wanted to come back and tell everyone the truth. But– but stark, he– that’s when he attacked her. You know, he had set up the revenge, the money, the disappearance. He had set that all up so perfectly that he wasn’t about to let her ruin his plan.

Jack: Oh, my god.

Daniel: Everybody already thought she was dead. Nobody was gonna be looking for her. Nobody was gonna be missing her. She would’ve been just another body to dispose of. So, she did what she had to do. She didn’t have any other choice. She grabbed a pair of scissors–

Michael: Wait, phyllis? Phyllis killed stark?

Daniel: A convicted criminal–

Kyle: Murdered–

Daniel: Self-defense. It was self-defense. Listen, I’m telling you, I weighed out what she told me. I mean, it’s pretty clear to me that it was either his life or hers. From where I’m sitting, I think she made the right choice.

Kyle: This is insane.

Michael: And yet it’s the only thing that’s made sense so far.

Jack: And it is the irrefutable proof we’ve been looking for that diane is innocent.

Kyle: Just like we said from the start.

Jack: I wanna move on this. I want her name cleared. I want the charges dropped.

Michael: All right, hold on. Hold on. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I don’t wanna refute your irrefutable proof. But… where is phyllis now?

Daniel: I have no idea. When you have chronic kidney disease.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Jack: I… [Stammering] I don’t know what to think.

Kyle: Phyllis, alive, all this time.

Jack: Daniel, when you saw her, what–

Michael: First things first. Let’s backtrack. Do you have any proof what you’re saying is real? Did you take a picture?

Daniel: No. Michael, I didn’t take a picture. I wasn’t thinking straight. I didn’t know if it was a prank. I– I didn’t even know if anybody was gonna show up.

Michael: All right. Well, how did she get to the park? Was she driven? Did she drive? I wonder what route she–

Jack: You could get a video capture from cctv.

Kyle: I knew mom was innocent. And– and phyllis is alive. I need to tell summer.

Daniel: Don’T. Don’t do that.

Kyle & jack: What? Why not? This changes everything for her, for us. Look, she reached out to you.

Daniel: Exactly. She came to me, kyle. I mean, that kinda news, it could break summer’s heart. I don’t want her tearing herself up inside wondering why mom came to me and not to her. Why I was the one that she trusted with this and why she was left out in the cold. It’s the kind of thing that could leave a kid with some hurt feelings.

Jack: Hurt feelings? People’s lives are at stake, daniel.

Kyle: You’re gonna keep this from her for how long?

Jack: Phyllis put us through hell! All so that she could get diane behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit. And now you don’t want us to tell summer? When do the lies and deception stop?

Billy: Look, being mad is like having a rock in your shoe. It’s not fun. But that’s why we’re here. We’re here to try and help you. That’s what we wanna do.

Connor: You just don’t get it.

Billy: You’re right. I don’t get everything. So, why don’t you tell me. What am I missing?

Johnny: Well, you’ve never had someone bring a whole new human being home and just been like, “here, this is yours. Forever. Get over it.”

Billy: That’s true. But you love your sister.

Johnny: Yeah, but you always have company even if you don’t always want it.

Billy: Look, connor, you don’t have to fall in love with the idea right now.

Johnny: But there’s nothing you can do about it, so…

Connor: Oh, my god! Do we have to keep doing this? I’m fine. It’s great. Can we go back inside?

Tucker: Hello!

Devon: Tucker.

Tucker: How you doing?

Devon: Come on in, man.

Tucker: Thanks.

Devon: Glad you’re here.

Tucker: Hey! There she’S. You’re glad I’m here?

Devon: Glad you’re here. Yeah.

Tucker: Uh-oh. [ Chuckles ] I shudder to think why.

Devon: I just appreciate you getting in touch with my mom and letting her know about neil’s party the other night.

Tucker: I’m just happy to see you both together.

Harmony: Well, you know, miracles happen. I mean, look at you. You’re still alive and kicking even after all the hell you’ve raised, so if that isn’t a miracle…

Tucker: Where’s dom?

Devon: Oh.

Harmony: He’s asleep.

Tucker: Ah, see? I know I should’ve called. Hey, did you show her how good he is on that little keyboard?

Devon: I didn’t have to because she brought him the whole band.

Harmony: [ Laughs ] Okay. That’s not true. I just– I bought him the basic essentials that every little budding musician needs, you know?

Tucker: Like?

Harmony: Like the guitar, a little tiny trumpet, little baby drums.

Tucker: I like the way you think.

Harmony: [ Laughs ] And you should watch him. The way he discovers each instrument, you know? Like, loving the sounds. And what can this do? He’s like a budding phenom in the making.

Devon: Well, I’ll be sure to call both of you at 5:00 A.M. When he’s playing those drums on a saturday and see how cute he really is. [ Laughs ]

Harmony: What can I say? It’s the family curse. And what about you? When are you gonna get back to the basics? You know, music used to be your life. You can’t tell me that you don’t miss the studio instead of an office. You need to tell devon that he needs to take some time and get back to what matters.

Tucker: I no longer offer unsolicited opinions per the new terms of our relationship.

Harmony: Mm. Well, lucky for you, you and I haven’t made such an agreement, so you’re about to get an earful from me.

Devon: Oh, yeah?

Harmony: Okay. I’m gonna keep it short and sweet.

Devon: Okay.

Harmony: You need to get back to your calling.

Devon: My calling.

Harmony: Mm-hmm. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Jack: So, you’re telling me that phyllis, who went on and on about how despicable diane was to leave her son and her friends behind to mourn, did exactly the same thing?

Daniel: She was forced to do what she did.

Jack: Well, I’d like to think she didn’t do it by choice.

Daniel: She wasn’t herself, jack. Everyone that she loved deserted her. Nobody believed her.

Jack: Why didn’t she ask for help?

Daniel: Oh, well, that’s– that’s easy. Would you have helped her if she asked you? Yeah. Look, does she regret what she did? You better believe she does. But she’s been punished enough, by us, by herself. Yes, she made some shortsighted choices to trust the wrong man. And she couldn’t turn to us before. But we can’t let her down now.

Devon: So, how am I supposed to go back to running a soundboard when I’m busy running a business and raising a genius that’s upstairs? It’s a lot of work, you know.

Harmony: Okay. You can’t call it work when you love what you do. And the last I checked, you still have blue notes and hi-hats and slick cats in your blood.

Devon: I always will, but…

Harmony: Yeah. I just think it’s a shame for it to all go to waste. That’s all I’m saying.

Devon: Okay. I know what you’re saying. I’m just trying to focus right now on this new family dynamic I have going with abby, and being the best father I can be to dominic.

Tucker: As you should.

Devon: Thank you. And I still have my label. It’s still under chancellor-winters. So, you know, I’m music-adjacent.

Harmony: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Well, how could that possibly be enough for someone like you? I mean, you’ve got, like, all this–

Dominic: Dada.

Devon: Oh, look at that. Saved by the dom.

Harmony: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I’ll be back.

Tucker: Dada.

Harmony: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Do you love it?

Harmony: [ Laughs ] I do.

Jack: Daniel, I know you’ve been put through a lot, but don’t try to lay the blame at my feet. I had nothing to do with the choices your mother made.

Daniel: You sure about that? ‘Cause as far as I can tell, this all started when you wouldn’t listen to her about diane.

Jack: She had other friends. She could have turned to lauren or michael.

Michael: Has she tried to contact you since you saw her?

Daniel: As a matter–

Jack: You know what, get– just get her to come back. We’ll let the police straighten this out.

Daniel: Really? So, you just want her arrested and locked up after she’s already been traumatized by stark?

Jack: That was good enough for diane.

Daniel: So is your forgiveness, jack. I hope you’ll remember that when my mom’s return is the only thing standing between a life of freedom and a life behind bars for diane.

Michael: I’m gonna ask you again. Have you heard from your mother since you saw her in the park?

Daniel: No. No, I haven’T.

Kyle: We need to call christine. There’s gotta be a way to use daniel’s statement to get the state to drop their murder charges.

Daniel: And– and to clear my mother of any wrongdoing, since stark was behind this whole thing. Now that he’s dead, I mean, the case is moot, right?

Michael: As much as I’d like to make this all go away, I’m afraid it’s not gonna play out quite the way you’d like.

Billy: Let’s just give this one more minute and then we’ll head back inside. Okay? Promise.

Connor: You hated me and my mom when you found out she was your bio mom.

Johnny: At first, yeah. It sucked. Then it just… didn’T. And now I love hanging out with you and her. I just needed a second.

Connor: Because you have someone else to boss around and lecture. I was talking to billy, not you. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Harmony: [ Sighs ] It’s just that when you have a god-given talent– and let’s face it, it is in his dna, okay? It is an affront to the universe for him to not put it out there, you know?

Tucker: Yeah.

Harmony: Put it to good use for the world to enjoy.

Tucker: Uh, no comment…

[ Laughs ] On this debate or any other debate. I’m still on shaky ground with him. With everyone, it seems.

Harmony: I hope everything’s okay with you and ashley after I left you two the other night. I mean, given our past…

Tucker: Oh.

Harmony: Bound to be some ruffled feathers when I come on to the scene.

Tucker: Future is all that matters.

Devon: Go to sleep

go to sleep

[ Devon humming ]

Harmony: Mm.

[ Tucker laughs ]

Harmony: Well, I guess if he has to put music aside, I can’t think of a better reason.

Tucker: Yep.

Harmony: Yeah.

Tucker: You know, I realize that our relationship was not all sunshine and roses, but at least we got devon out of it, right?

Harmony: Mm.

Tucker: And now dom.

Harmony: Yeah. I feel like we’re the lucky ones.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Johnny: Why are you mad at me? What did I do? I mean, what’s the big deal anyways?

Billy: Well, he thinks it’s a big deal right now. And he’s not feeling like his best self.

Connor: Nobody asked you to come out here.

Billy: Okay. Listen, we’re family, okay? He loves you. You’re just gonna have to get used to that. But you’re right. Families have a way of inserting themselves in situations whenever they want. Sometimes it’s a good thing. Most of the time it’s great. But we will table that conversation ’til a more peaceful time.

Johnny: Yeah, that’s gonna happen.

Billy: Hey, you’re not helping right now.

[ Johnny sighing ] Look, connor… you got a lot going on right now. Okay? And I’m sure it feels like it’s all out of control. But you’re growing up and all those things that are clouding your view of the world, well, sometimes they end up bigger than you ever expect. If you need some time and some space to process all of this, that’s totally fine. But you gotta trust your mother. You need to tell her what’s going on inside of here. Okay? You gotta at least give her a hint.

Connor: If it’ll get everybody to back off, fine.

[ Johnny sighs ]

Billy: I think that went pretty well.

Johnny: Mm.

Kyle: Everything will work out. Phyllis is alive. The state will have to drop the charges.

Daniel: Yeah. And I can sign an affidavit or whatever. I’m all you need to prove that diane’s not a killer.

Michael: I need evidence. What I don’t need is the word of a grieving son who has just seen his mother days after she purportedly died.

[ Huffs ] Damn it! That’s the legal system talking. That’s not me. I am sorry. There is a mountain of evidence to refute your word, daniel. And if you go in front of a judge and start talking about apparitions from the grave, you are asking for trouble. Aiding and abetting, obstruction of justice charges.

Daniel: I was only trying to help.

Michael: And your knowledge of how stark was killed could make you look like a suspect.

Kyle: Phyllis is the only one who can clear her name now.

Daniel: I mean, she did the things that she did to try and protect the people that she loves. I mean, she could have died at any point during that plan. Stark sure as hell tried to kill her at the end. And if she didn’t defend herself, she’d be the one who we found floating face down in a lake. Michael, come on, there’s gotta be something you could do to help her.

Michael: You know there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for phyllis. And if she’s really alive, you have no idea how happy I will be. But the cold truth is, I am representing diane and it would be a conflict of interest for me to try to fix things for phyllis. I’m not even sure that I could spin her story that– so that she doesn’t come off… not so great. But everything is a long shot without evidence.

Jack: Look, I’m gonna call christine just to test the waters off the record, throw out a few hypotheticals, see what kind of response I get.

Michael: Jack–

Jack: And I have to tell dianE.

Michael: Jack! Just please hold off on that. We don’t know where phyllis is or how to find her, or even if she would come back with us once we did. No, there are just– just too many variables. We can’t tell anyone about this. We have to be very careful and take it a step at a time.

Jack: Oh, god…

Next week on “the young and the restless.”

Nate: We’re helping each other, right? We have to trust each other to get exactly what we want. And I know exactly what you want.

Chelsea: What’s going on?

Daniel: Oh, you know, just waiting for some bombs to explode.

Jack: I don’t even know what we’re looking for, but I guarantee you we will know it when we see it.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey.

Hey. Hey, finally. Let’s get this party started.

Thank you.

Trina and your aunt are home safe and sound, which means willow has her donor. So what should we drink to first? Hm. You don’t look like you’re in the mood to celebrate anything. What’s wrong?

I have to say, not having to hide our relationship–

makes the whole sec investigation worth it?

I wouldn’t say that.

Ah.

But it is the one silver lining.

Don’t mind me.

Hey.

Welcome home.

Thank you. I’m so happy to be here. You have no idea.

Actually seeing you, it’s like confirmation that everyone’s going to be ok; willow, trina, spencer. Thank you so much.

[Tense music]

Nina and I have never had a relationship, not a good one, anyway. Us being estranged doesn’t affect anyone. There’s no collateral damage. But with you and sonny, it affects everyone you love. And I truly believe that keeping our family whole is more important than bringing sonny to justice.

You, and all your lies, your disloyalty, violence, crimes, eventually that will be forgotten, like you never even existed.

I love you. You’re my son. I’m always gonna love you.

Yeah, so you keep saying.

But I’m not gonna forget this. And if you want me to forgive, you’re gonna have to beg.

Your guest is here.

Let him in. Hail the conquering hero.

Hello, sonny. Uh, you can just call. You don’t have to send your staff.

Yeah, I don’t mean to inconvenience you, but there are some matters that we have to discuss and no one’s leaving this room until we do that.

[Dramatic music]


Have you talked to trina? Have you seen her?

No. She’s with her mom and dad. I mean, she texted me that she and spencer are alive and back in port charles. Thank you. I mean, you rescued my best friends.

Are you kidding me? It was a huge team effort. Spencer and trina were pretty heroic themselves.

I am just so grateful that you were able to get dr. Obrecht back in time to save willow. I mean, seriously, you are a hero.

Ok, let’s not get carried away here, people.

Josslyn’s right. Although you didn’t get the hero’s welcome you deserve.

Wait, why? What happened?

Ava, I really appreciate you coming out with me tonight.

But?

Well, maybe you should go see trina. I know how worried you were.

Trina is–she’s safe. She’s with her parents, and we should celebrate. At the very least, we should raise a glass to your aunt liesl. She survived being kidnapped by victor cassadine again and she made it home in time to save willow’s life. I mean, she did, didn’t she?

Yes. My aunt liesl had the procedure to donate her bone marrow and willow is going to get that transplant as soon as she completes her chemotherapy.

Ok, well, that’s wonderful. So why so glum?

This morning, willow– she offered a way for me to make peace.

Another reason to celebrate.

It would be, except I already screwed it up.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

[Knock on door]

[Phone ringing]

[Breathes heavily] Hello, aunt liesl.

I’m sorry I kept you waiting, but I was abducted by a homicidal madman.

Don’t let it happen again.

Don’t worry, it won’T.

I’m just glad you’re all right.

I too am quite pleased by my survival.

[Chuckles] It was a great relief to donate my bone marrow today.

So it’s done?

Yeah.

Are you ok? Did it hurt?

I had the easy part. I was under anesthesia. And aside from some mild soreness, I feel absolutely fine.

I don’t know what to say. Thank you doesn’t even… begin to cover it. I’ll be able to watch my children grow up…

[Sobs] Grow old with michael. I’ll be alive, all thanks to you.

I did what I had to. After all, you’re my family.

[Tender music]

Hey, dex. Look, um, thank you for helping josslyn bring wiley and amelia to see willow at the hospital. It meant a lot to the both of us.

I was happy to help. How is willow doing?

She’s tough. She’s determined to pull through for her family. But true to form, she’s more concerned with others than herself, which is, uh, why I called you here.

I think I know what you’re gonna say. I’ll admit, I thought you’d want to wait until your wife was better to turn sonny in.

[Dramatic music] Is there another problem?

I spoke to anna. She told me how you got trina, spencer, and liesl home.

Well, he was my father. It was kind of on me to stop him.

Whatever the reasons, nina got her aunt back and now willow is gonna get her bone marrow transplant that I hope saves her life.

I’m just glad that liesl made it back in time.

You know what? You stepped up. I’m not gonna forget that.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

Now, can we talk about how your associates nearly got me and my people killed?


Ok, so that there’s no mistake, I would never get in the way of your operation, much less do anything to harm your people.

Let me explain the new developments in the pikeman deal, which you facilitated. It seems like you left out a few important details.

With respect, I told you everything that I know. I’m just a middleman. They’re not gonna give me the specifics.

Ok, well, you went on the run right after this, so let me fill you in.

Fine. I’m listening.

I was preparing my first shipment and a sniper tried to take me out. Fortunately, he missed.

[Dramatic music] When we were discussing this deal, you said something about there’s gonna be significant risks. Was that code? Did you or did you not know that I could have a target on my back?

I truly am grateful for everything you’re doing and have done. It’s just–

you don’t really know me, certainly not well. And I understand your fear that accepting me into your life also means accepting nina, whom you think you do know well. But I want you to know that I have no agenda. Regardless of how you feel about me, I– I consider you family. I have lost almost all of my relatives. When that happens, we tend to latch on to whatever family we have left. Sometimes we even put too much pressure on those relationships.

If that’s a hint for me to be more receptive to nina–

there’ll be a time and place for you to consider what role, if any, you want nina to have in your life. It doesn’t matter right now. The important thing is that you heal so that someday you may have the opportunity to make that decision and a lifetime of other happier ones.

I can’t make any promises about nina. Right now, I’m just praying I come out the other side of this.

You will.

You sound so certain. Why?

Because I’m aware of the tribulations you’ve endured in your life. Tell me, does it annoy you when people assume you’re fragile? Or do you use it to your advantage and get them to underestimate you?

I don’t know that I’ve ever thought about it that way.

No matter. I see you for the strong woman you are. Even in this weakened state, it’s obvious. You are a survivor. I know… because it’s in your blood.

My daughter asked me for a favor, which she’s never done before. So I think that’s a step forward.

Sounds promising. What’s the favor?

Unfortunately, it’s something I can’t give her.

Well, what is it? What does she want?

She wants me to drop my vendetta against carly.

Oh, that’s all?

[Chuckles] I mean, I fail to see the problem here, nina. I know how much you hate carly, but compared to having a relationship with your daughter– listen to me. Do it. Do this for willow. Lay down your arms.

Ava, it’s too late. I made sure of that when I ratted out drew and carly to the sec.

Yeah, then diane showed up and she kind of shut the whole thing down, at least for now.

I cannot believe they dragged you out of there after you risked your life to rescue victor’s hostages.

Ok, the important thing is, is that we haven’t been charged with anything yet. This is an ongoing investigation.

That’s right, and diane is on her way here now to discuss the case.

Ok, well, if diane’s on it, then I’m not gonna worry too much.

I do need you to know that while the sec is conducting this investigation, our assets and accounts have been frozen.

Ok, well, do you need me to get money out of my trust fund?

No. No, no, I just want you to be aware. I don’t want you worrying about me because diane is working on it and we’re gonna figure it all out. Ok?

Well, how long do they think this is gonna take?

There’s really no way to tell, unfortunately.

[Phone ringing] Oh. These are the lawyers from aurora. I got to take this.

Oh, go. Go, go.

This is drew.

It’s really great to see you two together, out in the open. And I can tell that you’re so happy, despite everything.

Yeah, we are. But speaking of a secret relationship being out in the open, you showing up here with dex, you want to talk about that?

 

I’ve decided I am not using the pikeman evidence against sonny.

Did you find something else to use against him?

No. I’m not turning him in at all.

Why not?

Because willow helped me realize that by sending sonny to prison, I’ll just be tearing my family apart.

But you said you were willing to accept that.

Yes, for myself, but not for my siblings. Yes, josslyn, she wants to see sonny face justice. But kristina, she’d never forgive me. And my younger siblings, donna and avery that we stuck in the middle, it’s not fair for them to have to choose between kristina and josslyn or me and my father.

You’re the boss. You have the right to change your mind. But I was hired to do a job, a job I have risked my life for a year now getting done. I have been shot, hung from a meat hook, beaten, and threatened with torture. I’ve had to spend every day with the knowledge that if sonny finds out I’m working against him, I’m dead.


Then I came to work for you. I decided it was worth it. I’ve since come to understand sonny better, but that doesn’t change anything for me. My options are limited here.

I know, look, dex, I know I put you in a tough spot and for that I am sorry. But look, for my family’s sake, I can’t turn sonny in.

Great. Really happy for all of you. One question, michael. Where does that leave me? Because the way I see it, I only have two options here. Either I keep working for sonny indefinitely or I put him away.

There is one more option. You disappear.

Look, pikeman has a lot of enemies, the kind of people that are gonna want to keep pikeman’s merchandise out of their own enemy’s hands. Ok? Now, I didn’t know you were going to be targeted. I can’t say I’m entirely surprised.

The pikeman… rep gets cagey every time I try to ask him about any information.

That’s gonna be the case with any pikeman employee. It’s all need to know, sonny.

The sniper was a ghost. But here’s the thing. He wasn’t a mob hitman. He was a black ops from the espionage world, your world.

I’m not gonna get anyone to pikeman to confirm or deny that. But listen, I have good news.

What’s that?

I spoke to my source at pikeman. They’re very happy with the way the shipment went down. They want to work with you again.

Tell them I’m not interested.

Hey, hi. You’re back.

Yes.

And in one piece, I might add.

I am unharmed. I should be going.

Oh, wait, wait. Did you hear that I moved heaven and earth to try and find you? And I got chloroformed for my trouble.

Yes, I heard.

Yeah, I’m sorry. I almost got you blown up. But liesl, I had to do something.

On the bright side, your misguided efforts to save me rather effectively blew up victor.

Good riddance to him.

Yes. As I said, I should go.

Wait, wait, hang on a second. You know, listen, liesl, I know that we’ve had a lot of problems before victor grabbed you and we got a lot of stuff to work out. But, you know, I– I think about every morning when I wake up and I think about you before I go to sleep, except the trouble is I don’t sleep anymore. So I was wondering if you feel the same way. I mean, not that you don’t sleep, I wouldn’t wish that on anybody. But maybe we might be able to get things back on track? I mean, is there any way that things might work out with us?

Dex was a big help getting the kids here to see willow. And there’s no real reason that we have to hide our relationship anymore now that sonny knows.

But you could’ve told me.

Hello, you two. Am I interrupting a mother-daughter catch-up?

No.

I can come back.

No, no. No, nothing we can’t talk about later.

Ok.

And we will. Thank you so much for coming here. You know, I didn’t want to stray too far from willow.

Of course, I understand.

Well, I’ll leave you two to it. I know you have a lot to talk about. Diane, now that I know you’re the one helping out, I’m sure it will all be ok.

I appreciate the vote of confidence. Have a great meeting.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye. Where’s drew?

Oh, he went to take a call. Thank you so much for getting him released.

Yeah. It was a little too easy. That said–

diane, thank you so much for coming. Sorry to interrupt there. So let’s hear it. What are carly and i looking at?

Well, unfortunately, it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

I hate that I turned in carly and drew to the sec. You know, I just–I let my jealousy get the better of me, for carly becoming more like a mother to willow. And now I did something that I can’t take back.

When willow asked you to make peace with carly, did you tell her it was too late?

Not exactly. I lied a little bit and i told her that I wouldn’t get into it with carly anymore.

Technically, that’s not a lie, though, because you tipped off the sec before you promised willow, right?

Well, I don’t think that’s gonna matter to willow. That I took revenge on carly before she asked me not to. That loophole is not gonna work for me here.

Yeah. Knowing carly, she will weasel her way out of it somehow, hopefully after she suffers a little bit. And either way, you’ve bought yourself some time here to find a way out of this.

That doesn’t change what I did to drew. That man, he went to greenland, he faced off victor cassadine to bring aunt liesl back so willow could get a bone marrow transplant. Almost as soon as he brought aunt liesl to gh, he was intercepted by the sec.

Ooh, that is not ideal.

No, I was there. It was horrible.

Yeah, it sounds like it. But you know, there’s nothing you can do. What’s done is done. You can’t change it now.

Maybe so, maybe not.

Nina, what are you thinking?

I need to mitigate the damage here. So the only thing I can do, ava, is tell willow the truth.


I have been working to get carly’s private bank accounts unfrozen.

And?

Unfortunately, the judge has ruled that they will remain frozen for the duration of the investigation.

Ok, well, I’m sure I can arrange a loan from quartermaine assets.

No, no. No, no, I strongly advise against that. Drew, while the sec is investigating whether or not you used your very close relationship with carly to divulge business secrets, how is it gonna look if you loan her money?

Diane’s right. You know, I don’t want you getting in any more trouble.

Well, then what are you gonna for money?

I have some liquid assets to keep me afloat. And besides, diane is gonna get our names cleared. It’s gonna be ok.

Uh… yeah, about that, unfortunately–

no, no, no, you’ve been saying that word a lot today.

I know. I’m sorry. However, I cannot represent both of you.

[Dramatic music]

 

I have just been through a harrowing experience with victor.

Yeah, I know. That’s why–

please, let–let me finish.

Ok. Anything you want, my schnitzel.

I dreamed of you calling me that. I will confess that in the moments my survival was in question… I did think about you. You have my heart, scott.

Listen, you have mine as well. So with that, we could probably get through anything.

If only it were that simple. But my heart does not belong to you alone. You share that space with my children, who are no longer with me. Nathan and britta.

I know that I hurt you, and I will do everything in my power to make it up to you.

Sadly, you cannot. I was a captive on the haunted star, the very vessel where my britta breathed her last breath. When the airstrike destroyed it, I thought, it’s gone, the place where my britta had the best night of her life and I my worst. I didn’t know what to think, how to feel. But then I heard that you were instrumental, however inadvertently, in its destruction. And it felt like… a gift.

A gift? Well, maybe I did do something right.

You’ve done many things right. But as much as I love you, scott, it’s just hard for me to even look at you right now. All I can see is elizabeth and how you sided with her. And while I understand you see her as a daughter, I must side with a memory of mine. That is our truth,

meine liebe, and unfortunately, it does not set us free.

Look, dex, I’ll give you all the money you need to start somewhere new, okay? Somewhere sonny can’t touch you. It’s the least that I owe you.

That isn’t what I agreed to. The deal was I would get evidence for you to put sonny away forever and then I would get out of his business.

You did everything that I asked you to do. You gained sonny’s trust, you braved the brutality of his world. And I can’t thank you enough for everything that you’ve done. And I realize, me changing the terms like this, it comes at a great risk to you.

But you’re not gonna change your mind, are you?

No. No, I’m not.

Then I am screwed.

Dex, dex, you knew that this job could go wrong a million different ways. You signed up for that, too.

No, I signed on for a job with exactly two possible outcomes; either sonny goes to prison or he catches on to me and I end up dead. And since option one is off the table now, the only one left is me not breathing.

Listen, there’s a way for you to escape with your life. If you let me help you get away, sonny, I’ll protect you from him.

If I disappear, I have to give up my life. And I’ve gotten very attached to– to this city.

You’ve grown attached to the city or attached to josslyn?

Josslyn. I’m so happy to see you.

I’m surprised you’re even awake. How are you feeling?

Well, if I’m being completely honest, this chemo is taking a lot out of me.

I bet.

But it’ll all be worth it, provided liesl’s donation takes.

It will. Is there anything that I can do for you? Anything at all?

Yes. Tell me what’s going on. What’s happening in the outside world?

Oh, right, um…

this doesn’t have to be anything major. Just tell me something small and personal. Like, how are you studying for your finals? Are you a flashcards or an outline student?

[Chuckles] Ok. You have lowered the bar. We can do better than that. Um… I’m sort of seeing someone.

Right. Well, michael and carly sort of hinted that you were, but they didn’t give me any details. I was very annoyed that they respected your privacy like that. So tell me, is he anyone that I know?

The cargo was a lot riskier than we discussed.

What was the cargo?

Oh, just one of the most powerful plastic explosives in the world. Did you know that?

I knew that they dealt explosives. I didn’t expect them to ask you to traffic it, not on your first job with them, anyway.

I’m not in the market of arming terrorists.

No, you’re not arming terrorists. Their main client is the us military. They make limited, covert exports to small countries who need to defend themselves against larger, better equipped hostile forces.

Meaning that there are other countries who have vested interest in making sure that pikeman doesn’t move their merchandise.

Yeah, that’s right.

Right.

And that would go to extremes to eliminate anyone facilitating the movement of said merchandise.

There is no way I’m gonna sit back and be pikeman’s collateral damage.

So you want me to tell them no deal?

 

Nina, I love you, but that is a terrible idea.

It’s the only thing that I can think of. I mean, this whole thing is horrible. They froze drew and carly’s assets.

[Chuckles]

Is that funny? It’s not funny. It’s not–

I mean, it’s not funny when it comes to drew. But carly, considering she lost her shirt in the very deal she’s being investigated for, she’s lucky she has any assets left to freeze. It’s funny, and it’s delicious.

You know willow’s not gonna see it that way. They are in a lot of trouble. They’re gonna face serious prison time. And if there’s any way of salvaging this, building any kind of relationship with my daughter, I’m just gonna have to come clean. I’m gonna have to apologize to willow for all the pain that I put her and her family through.

Nina, let me remind you something. None of the current or former members of the corinthos family are forgiving people. That includes willow. If you come clean, she will be furious with you.

Yeah, but what if she finds out from someone else later?

Then she’ll be furious later. If you admit what you did, carly will be out for your blood, not to mention michael and drew and the whole quartermaine clan. And of course, there’s sonny.

What about sonny?

Carly is the mother of his children. Do you really think he’s gonna be fine with you turning her over to the feds?

No, but he loves me.

Yes, he does right now. But if he finds out that you threw carly to the wolves, I promise you, that will change.

I know, I know there’s gonna be consequences. Shouldn’t I face them?

When you dropped the dime on carly and drew, were you lying?

No.

No, you weren’T. Exactly. They committed an actual crime. All you did was report it. If they didn’t want to go to prison for insider trading, then maybe they shouldn’t have done it. Nina, all you will get for your honesty are lifelong and very powerful enemies. You will lose willow forever. You will lose sonny forever. Do you really want to throw away everything that makes you happy?


Just tell me this. Are you happy?

Yeah, I am.

Good.

[Tender music] Thank you for sharing at least that much with me.

I’ll share everything with you eventually, ok? I promise.

I’ll hold you to that. And thank you so much for being here. It means the world.

Well, it’s not just me. It’s michael and my mom and drew. We’re all here and we’re gonna be here for you every step of the way, ok? All of us.

The love and support from the whole family has kept me going through all of this, the way everyone’s coming together.

We love you.

I love all of you, too. And… as nervous as I am about the transplant, I’m also feeling hopeful for all of our futures again. Bye.

Bye.

I feel the same way.

I want you to deliver a message for me. I might be open to another deal, one that would facilitate another shipment, the way it was before, not under these circumstances. Pikeman needs to get their affairs in order, figure out who came after me. Then… we can move forward, but not until then.

I will convey that message, and I’ll get back to you.

You bring up some good points.

Mm-hmm. That you obviously hadn’t considered.

So where do I go now? I mean, do I just go forward with this huge secret hanging over me and everyone I love?

Yep.

What if I get caught?

How? Is anyone besides me aware that you knew carly and drew were romantically involved at the time of the merger?

Well, martin grey.

Attorney-client privilege. He can’t say anything.

He’s the one who informed the sec about the insider trading and he assured me that there’s no way to trace that tip back to me.

Well, great. I’m not gonna say anything. So good news, nina. You’ve already gotten away with it. You’re the last person anybody would suspect.

Why would you say that? My animosity towards carly isn’t a secret.

No one’s animosity towards carly is a secret. Aurora’s assets were frozen, too, right? And aurora owns crimson, so why would you undermine your own business?

Oh. That’s true.

Nina, you’ve gotten away with murder. Don’t tell anybody where to find the body.

Drew, I was only too happy to step in and get you released. But moving forward, it would not be in your best interest to have the same representation as carly.

I don’t understand. Won’t it help if we have the same strategy?

No, because the sec is gonna pit the two of you against each other. If this goes to trial, you will be separate defendants, so you should have separate attorneys fighting your respective charges.

Well, then you should represent carly.

No. You are the ceo of aurora. You engineered the merger. You should have the better representation.

The qs have a shark tank full of lawyers that I can use. I mean, you should have somebody that knows you implicitly, somebody that’s represented you and your family for years.

But– diane, what do you think?

I think he’s a very smart man that makes a very compelling argument.

Ok, that’s what we’ll do.

Good. I’m glad that’s settled. Carly, I will be in touch. In the meantime, the two of you look great together.

[Dramatic music]

 

Now what?


Oh.

Is that scott?

Oh, he’s got that lost puppy dog look.

He’s ok. Hey, scott.

Hi.

Are you all right?

What’s up?

Oh, hiya, girls.

Oh, what happened? Are you ok?

Well, I tried to mend some fences with liesl, but, uh, we’re finished.

No, she’s just been through a lot.

No, I know. I thought she might, you know, come to my waiting arms, but no such luck.

Just give her some time.

Yeah, yeah, the woman obviously loves you.

What do you mean, obviously?

Well, if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be so mad at you. What did she say exactly?

Well, she said that our truth does not set us free, which translates to me that even if you love somebody, if you mess with their family, there is no coming back.

Ok. So how do you think the sec is gonna pit us against each other?

Look, if they want to play dirty, let them. We can handle whatever they throw at us.

That’s right.

The way I see it, we can take on the world as long as we’re together.

[Dramatic music]

 

All right, girls, I’m not good company. I’m gonna go have some martinis.

Oh.

So what are we doing here? Are we celebrating? Or are you planning to ruin your relationship with willow?

All right, you’re right. You’re right. I can’t tell willow that I turned in carly and drew to the sec.

Exactly. Trust me. Nothing good will come of clearing your conscience.

At least not this time.

Almost never. Ok, to– to seeing reason. Everything is going your way. Liesl is gonna save willow’s life. Carly and drew will– they’ll face the consequences of their actions. Best thing for you to do is keep your mouth shut and your eyes forward.

And hope for the best.

 

Hi. Why did you need to see me? Hey, what’s going on?

I have to say goodbye.

[Knock on door]

Come in.

You have another visitor.

I’m not expecting anyone.

You’ll want to see this one.

Send him in.

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

 

B&B logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Yeah, that’s great. ‘Cause th– right, ’cause those were all my concerns. So, um… tell you what. Why– why don’t I have legal just draw up the contract tonight, and then tomorrow, I’ll have a– a messenger bring you a hard copy. Yeah. Thanks a lot. Bye-bye. Well, hello, there. So much prettier than wyatt.

Steffy: Are you busy?

Liam: Uh, no, that was– that was my last call for the day. What are you doin’ here?

Steffy: I forgot to give you kelly’s wristband, she wears it for all her soccer games and bailey has the same one, and they’re at the stage where they like to match.

Liam: Yep. Yep. Aww, that’s cute. I could have picked this up on my way home, you didn’t have to come all the way here, though.

Steffy: I– I just– I just wanted to check in with you, see if you heard anything from hope and thomas about their business trip to san francisco.

Hope: So as you can see, we are very excited about this collection.

Thomas: Well, I, for one, believe in staying a step ahead of the clientele, and giving them what they didn’t know they needed.

Hope: And we hope that we have made believers out of you.

Buyer #1: Indeed. It was a convincing presentation of a beautiful collection.

Buyer #2: Some of the best work hope for the future has ever produced.

Hope: Well, we– we like to think so.

Thomas: Yeah.

Buyer #1: You two make an incredible team.

Buyer #2: We’re very happy you’re back, spearheading the line.

Hope: I couldn’t agree more.

Liam: You’re asking me if I have any information on a forrester meeting? Aren’t you the ceo?

Steffy: That is true, but I just thought you may have heard from hope before me.

Liam: Uh, no.

[ Phone chiming ]

Liam: Oh? Speaking of.

Steffy: It’s hope?

Liam: Mm-hmm. “The meeting just wrapped, went great!” Exclamation point. “Thomas and I are heading to the jet soon. We will be on our way home. Love you.” Cool. Well, that’s best-case-scenario, right? Success and she’s outta there.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m glad to hear it.

Liam: Hmm.

Steffy: Not just because the pitch went well, but also, uh, hope and thomas flying out together was a little concerning for you.

Liam: Whatever. She’s on her way home now, it’s all I care about.

Thomas: Have a good one.

Buyer #1: Thank you.

Hope: Did that go as well as I think it did?

Thomas: It couldn’t have gone better.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. We– were amazing. You were amazing. All that forrester charm?

Thomas: You were, uh, awesome! You were compelling, you were passionate. You’re irresistible. I mean, look, I– I– I think we just expanded our reach dramatically.

Hope: I know. I know, I’m feeling pretty good about it. Oh, thomas, thank you. Thank you again. I mean, I– I’ve seen all the hard work that you’ve put into the designs and now this presentation, it just– it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thomas: Thank you for giving me a chance to actually prove myself.

[ Phone chiming ]

Hope: Uh… oh, it’s the pilot.

Thomas: Oh, I thought he was– we were supposed to call him, right?

Hope: Um, hey, trevor. You– you actually have both of us here, and good timing, and we just finished up with the meeting.

Thomas: Hey.

Trevor: Apologies, but I’m afraid we’re having some mechanical issues.

Crew’s doing everything

they can, but… there’s a chance that we might not get out tonight. I’ll keep you posted.

[ Phone beeps ]

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: Come on.

Thomas: I know. Look, I– I know you want to get home to liam, I just… feel terrible. No two bodies are the same.

Hope: I can’t believe this. I mean, of course! Of course the jet is having mechanical issues when I happen to be here with you. I mean, liam is going to love this.

Thomas: Okay, but it’s a non-issue if I can get you on a commercial flight, right?

Hope: Yeah, except I don’t see any that are available and you’ve been on hold forever, and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

Thomas: We’ll know soon enough.

Hope: [ Sighs ] Thank you, for trying to help me get home.

Thomas: You’re welcome. But– but don’t worry about this, I know that you want to get home to liam and the family, but… think about what we just did today. I mean, we were supposed to impress those buyers, and we did, and that’s great for the line.

Hope: Oh, yeah. Hell yeah, we did.

[ Both laughing ]

Thomas: It’s amazing teamwork.

Hope: Yeah, it was almost like we were finishing each other’s sentences.

Thomas: Yeah, like one mind and two voices. It’s weird.

Hope: Oh, I don’t know. I was– I was having so much fun, I forgot to be nervous.

Thomas: Oh. You don’t have to be. Not when I’m around. Yeah, I’m here. What does that mean? All right, yeah. Thank you very much. Okay. Okay, so, um, bad news. Uh, by the time you got to the airport, there’s only one more flight out tonight, and it’s fully booked.

Hope: Dammit!

Thomas: I know, I’m sorry.

Hope: No, no, it is fine, it is no one’s fault, it’s just, I had already texted liam after the meeting that I would be home soon, and that’s what he will be expecting. Me, walking through the door, not spending the night here with you. Oh, this isn’t good.

Steffy: Look, I– I get why you’re wary of thomas. His past, and I understand why you don’t like the idea of hope and thomas jetting off together.

Liam: I mean, yeah. From where I’m sittin’, it’s just a recipe for disaster, but who am I kidding? I don’t like them together in any context, so–

Steffy: Look, I don’t know how many times I need to reassure you. But thomas has changed. He’s focused on work. Saving hope for the future with designs only he can create. And they make a fantastic team. I think you need to think about that. Be a little thankful.

Liam: Ah– well, meeting’s over and hope’s on her way home, and I’m definitely thankful for that, so–

[ Phone ringing ] Aha. Hey, you.

Congratulations on the meeting.

Can’t say I’m surprised.

Uh, any time you set your mind to something, you’re irresistible, so buyers never stood a chance. Proud of you.

Hope: Thanks.

Liam: So… yeah, I can’t wait for you to get home so we can celebrate properly.

Hope: Um, well, me– me too, but unfortunately, there is a bit of a problem.

Liam: I, uh– I thought that the buyers loved it.

Hope: The jet is having mechanical issues.

Liam: Oh. Uh, all right. Well, hey. It’s a good thing you figured that out when you’re still on the ground. Right? ‘Cause, ‘um… uh, so what, you just gonna fly commercial, or…

Hope: Well, see, that’s the thing. By the time I get to the airport, there’s only one flight out, and it’s already fully booked.

Liam: Oh. Um… so what are you saying exactly? Just, are you– you’re stuck, you’re gonna be spending the night in san francisco with thomas?

[]

Hope: Well, hopefully they will be able to fix the problem, and then we can make it home tonight.

The pilot is going

to keep us updated.

But, um, yes, it is possible that thomas and I will have to stay in san francisco overnight.

Liam: Seriously?

Hope: I know. I know. I know. But fingers crossed, hopefully I will be able to make it home tonight, still, somehow. I just– I really, really want to see you and the kids. Um, but I– I do have to get going. Um, but I will– I will keep you posted. Okay? I love you, liam.

Liam: Yeah, I love you, too.

Steffy: Hope and thomas are spending the night in san francisco?

Thomas: Okay. Uh, while you were talking to liam, I decided to go ahead and order us some room service.

Hope: Oh, good call. I am starving.

Thomas: Yeah, that, uh, pitch meeting kind of worked up an appetite. Niçoise salad, right?

Hope: [ Laughs ] Yep. You know me so well.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: I’m sorry you have to be here. Was liam upset?

Hope: If I just hadn’t texted him I would be home soon, then I wouldn’t have set that expectation. Then it wouldn’t look so bad, and then– you know what? No. We had a great day here, and I don’t want to ruin that, so I am going to think positively and not stress, and the jet is going to be fixed. And in the meantime, all I can do is wait, so that is what I am going to try to do.

Thomas: Waiting. Not really my strong suit.

Hope: [ Laughs ] Oh, tell me about it.

[ Both laughing ] Well, hey, at least it’s good company.

Thomas: Yeah. You’re being a really good sport about all of this.

Hope: Well, so are you.

Thomas: Yeah, this isn’t that terrible for me. I get a night in san francisco. I can go grab some sushi, and then head back to the hotel and keep working. You need to get home to your fam–

Hope: Hey. Hey hey. No, no, no. No more work for you. You did enough today. All right? So, if– if we are actually stuck here, then I say we should just enjoy that dinner that you ordered for us, and just… bask in the glory of our success.

Thomas: Okay. Yeah. That’s actually a really good idea. I’m gonna go ahead and order myself a room, then. Just in case.

Liam: Isn’t it so funny how I never really liked the idea of hope and thomas going on a trip together?

Steffy: Hey, there’s still a chance they could– they could get home tonight.

Liam: I know, but the later it gets, the less I like the odds, and just… the thought of hope and thomas alone together overnight, it– I said, I see it

Steffy: Yeah, okay. Keep me posted. Thanks. Still workin’ on the mechanical issue, and pilot says it might not be fixed tonight, so yeah, hope and thomas might be spending the night in san francisco.

Liam: Well, I, for one, think that’s great. I think it’s so great, and with my luck, the hotel will be almost completely booked up, and thomas will be chivalrous enough to offer to share his room.

Steffy: Oh, liam, stop. You know that’s not gonna happen. And I know that you– you have reason to doubt him because of what happened in the past. I understand.

Liam: Yeah, but you– you– you think I should leave it in the past and give him the same chance everybody else is.

Steffy: I just think you need to be open to it. Give thomas the benefit of the doubt. Save you some grief.

Liam: [ Laughs ] That’s– actually, that’s probably true. It would save me some grief. It’s just that I’ve seen this too many times before. It’s like thomas does change… for a second. And then he’s back to scheming.

Steffy: Okay, but you have to admit, hope and thomas working together right now, it’s not the horror show you’ve been worried about.

Liam: No, it’s not. Yet. I mean, when the possibility first arose, I was just like… I was begging hope, I was begging her not to work with him, and she– she considered it, and she agreed with me, and I thought the issue was settled, and then the very next day, she changed her mind and she hired him.

Steffy: Yeah, that must hurt.

Liam: Uh, yeah. I mean, I was pretty convinced that was like the end of all peace and harmony in our household. It was like– it was like we just took opposite corners of the ring, you know? And– and then there’s thomas, right there in the middle, driving a wedge between us. And the truth is, hope has been pretty amazing, though. She’s been… yeah, she’s been kind and supportive, and she’s assured me over and over that if he tries anything, he’s– he’s out of there.

Steffy: Hope,

I know what I saw.

You caressing thomas’s hands,

staring into his eyes,

saying all the things

that you were saying.

You have feelings for him. Liam, thomas’s feelings are in check. You don’t have to worry about him.

Thomas: Well, I think this day deserves a toast.

Hope: I completely agree.

Thomas: To the wonderful meeting we just had, and the big fat order that’s gonna come from it.

Hope: Mm, hear hear!

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: All right, uh, my turn. Uh, to us, to turning over a new leaf, and to continuing to make magic together.

Thomas: I’ll drink to that!

Hope: Hey, huzzah!

Thomas: Huzzah!

Thomas: Aw, man.

Hope: Mm. You know, I really do have to commend you, thomas. I mean, this whole… new and improved version of you. Thomas 2.0.

Thomas: Ha!

Hope: It’s been, um… it’s been really great to see. Not just at hope for the future, but… it’s been really beneficial for douglas as well.

Thomas: Well, I– I hope it’s not too boastful of me to say, but I am actually really proud of the progress I’ve made, ’cause it’s gotten us to a place where we can have a friendship like this.

Hope: Well, good! I think you should be proud. You’ve– you’ve put in a lot of hard work, and… honestly, I… am proud to call you my business partner now, and not only that, but I consider you a friend.

Thomas: Your high praises mean the world.

Thomas: You’re giving me that look again. What does it mean?

[ Laughs ]

Hope: I don’t know. I don’T…

[ Thomas laughing ] I mean– you know that I love liam. And my family, they mean everything to me.

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: Good. Because I’ve been really trying to… just have us in a good place, you know? And I’ve been constantly reassuring liam about our partnership, and that there’s nothing to worry about there, which is really ironic, that I’m the one having to assuage his fears, when he’s done everything that he’s done, and I have never given him anything to really worry about.

Thomas: Wait. Worry about what?

Hope: It has not always been easy to grow up in my mother’s shadow. I mean, you know. You’ve done it yourself. I mean, there’s been a lot of judgment cast upon my mom, and some of that judgment just… get passed down to me, and I have tried so hard to fight against that. I’m my own person, I’m not my mom, and her with her stupid excuse of just following her heart… really, she just… leaves a trail of devastation behind her. I never wanted to be like that. My principles, and my morals, they matter to me. It’S…

Thomas: No. Wait. Hey, hey, hold on. Hold on. Hope. You are the most principled and– and moral person I’ve ever met. You’re nothing like your mother. And I’ve watched you my entire life, you’re– you-re– you’re like one of the most incredible people ever. And you love your family. You always want to be with liam and– and nothing is gonna come between you two.

Hope: Thank you. Thank you.

Thomas: Here. Come here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, hi. What a nice surprise. Well, I know that your schedule is really, really jammed today, but I just wanted to see if you needed anything, like if you’re hungry or something, you know, I can go get you some takeout. Very sweet of you, but Ashley, I’m, I’m just about to leave. Really? No more appointments.

Well, um, no, uh, actually my last patient just left and guess he had a, a business meeting he had to get to. Hmm. Pretty important one. Sound like.

And your flight was okay? Yes, yes, it was fine. It was long. Victor is in with, uh, VO now. Any change in his condition? Not yet. I’m sorry to hear that auntie, but rest assured I have everything under control here. You’re meeting with Yuri Kaison off tonight, right? Yes, I am at the BRE waiting for him as we speak, and by the time the check gets delivered, he and his tech company will officially be in business with Titan.

Alex, remember what I said before I left. The deal is all laid out. You don’t have to do anything except close it. Get Yuri to sign the dotted line. That is my one and only job tonight. I even recruited somebody to help keep me focused on getting it done.

How’d it go with the Coast Guard? They found a small motor book. We suspected someone can’t used to escape from Megan’s compound. It was washed up near a small island, mostly rocks, uninhabited. Okay, so what about Kate? Well, they searched everywhere within a hundred mile radius using the most advanced technology, and unfortunately, there were no signs of life.

What does that mean? The Coast Guard says they don’t think Kate could have survived.

Oh, well it’s enough time. Where’s my dinner? The captain wants to see you. Why no questions.

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

Well, I don’t, I don’t care what the Coast Guard says. We’re not gonna give up, right? We’re not giving, no, we’re not giving up. Chad. We promised Roman we would find his wife and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. There was no report of a body found. So as far as I’m concerned, Kate is out there alive. All right.

That’s what’s our next move? Well, we’re thinking, uh, Kate could have been picked up by a passing ship. So now that we have the location of her boat, we can check that against the sea lanes in the area and we’ll try to figure out who picked her up. Makes sense. Except if Kate did board a ship, wouldn’t you have tried to reach out to us?

Okay. What do you want with me, Kyle, please call me Dimitri Vanner Powell Graham was just the alias. I used to, uh, fool Your clueless daughter. Oh, clueless. Really clueless enough to take you down. So what about the ransom? Did you call my husband? Not yet. Well, why the hell did you summon me then? Ah, you’ve been working so hard.

I thought you could use a break. Okay. Please don’t ask to tango with me. Oh, no, no, no. You’ve made it perfectly clear that you’re not interested in being my dance partner, so I thought instead I would invite you to join me for a late supper. That is a really lovely invitation, but you can shove it up your ass.

Thank you for coming. Of course. How are you feeling? Nervous. I just got off the phone with Auntie Mag and I played it. Cool. But yeah, Steph, I don’t know. You’ll be fine. We’ve gone over everything. You’re totally prepared. Yeah. I’ve just never closed the deal this big before, and Maggie made it very clear to me that this is my last chance to prove myself to her and that I belong at Titan.

I can’t mess this up. Well, that’s why I’m here. Keep you on track. Hey, look at me. You got this.

Hi. Okay, look, I got a job, bro. All right. I’ll ping you later. Okay. Bye. Hey. Hi. Hey, Alex. K? Yes I am. You must be, Mr. Ksn. Good to meet you, but please do call me Yuri. You got it. Huri, this is Stephanie Johnson, head of our public relations team. Very nice to meet you. Same. Um, I wasn’t aware that you were coming.

Uh, is there an image problem that I’m not aware of? No. No, not at all. Please sit down. This is just a very important deal for us and we want to make sure that we have all hands on deck. Okay. So where’s Max? Max, yeah. Oh, auntie Mag. Yeah. You didn’t get my email. There was just a family emergency. Didn’t must have gone to my spam.

Um, maybe we should reschedule. No, not necessary at all. I’m completely up to speed. With all due respect, I’m used to dealing only with the top dog, of course. And since you and Mags did agree on the terms of the contract, she felt that you might be comfortable with me carrying the ball across the goal line, so to speak.

Oh, is that tough? Yes. So here is your deal. Ready to sign when you are. Um, actually, I’d like to speak with you about a few things.

You know, doc, if everything you’ve been through, I still can’t believe you’re back to work already and you’re still taking on new patients. Mm-hmm. Just one nine hour know that’s what you always told me. Just one more, John. But you know what, doc? They all add up. Let me ask you something. How many patients do you think you have treated over the years?

I don’t know. I never thought about it. Oh, looking for you. I have now. You started psychiatry in the seventies, right? Yeah, 76. Yeah. So I got to thinking if you were to take your annual average caseload and then multiply that by the number of years you’ve been at it, that’s like 5,000 patients.

I think you’ve gotta check your math on that. Oh, I did. But whatever the number is, it’s a lot. You know what? That needs to be celebrated and baby, that’s exactly what you and I are gonna do.

So what does one order to commemorate reaching the 5,000 patient Mark? I told you he’s nowhere near this. Be close doc. Come on. No, no, no, no. And I, unlike you have not tried ever to count. It’s okay. Fine. So you haven’t kept up with the math here, but I’m, I’m sure you have kind of reflected back, you know, on when you first started your practice, right?

I have from time to time. Yeah. What stands out the most?

Probably my very first patient. Oh, that would’ve to be Mickey Horton. Yeah. Mickey. Tough case. Lovely man. We developed a, a very dear friendship.

I’m trying to figure out how to threaten that queen without endangering a keep peace. Try the night. Yeah, of course. Right there. You play the game, huh? My father taught me when I was a child. You mind if I sit down? No, go ahead.

You knew around here, kind of didn’t think I’d seen you before. Probably not. I usually work on the third floor. Well, I’ve heard about the third floor. What have you heard? That it’s rough. Everything’s relative. You a nurse? No, I’m a psychiatrist.

I see.

Hey. Doing okay? Of course, of course. I was just, um, Thinking back to when I was first in Salem. Hmm. Sure. Things were a little bit different back then, huh? They were. They were. But you know what makes Salem so special is all the, all the people that live here. It’s what made it so comfortable to develop a practice.

Shall we eat? You know, I was just thinking it’s not too late to maybe go to some place, a little fancier for the celebration. Like maybe the bistro? No, no, no. Not the bistro. Uh, my, my client may be having his business meeting there and I. I don’t wanna show up in throw a m office game.

So, Yuri, what do you want to discuss?

Listen, I’m all about optionality. Okay. The more avenues we have to create Mayan, the greater chance we have to kill it. Right? Right. Yeah, totally. Well, according to this, This expansion plan is kind of weak. What do you mean weak? Okay. I’ll tell you what I mean by weak, weak. It’s, it’s safe, it’s conservative.

Okay. I’m a baller man. I came here to play. It’s go big or go home, right? Do you follow me? I, yeah. I, I follow you. I do follow you, Gary. I do. I, it’s, it’s just that our analysts have done a lot of research and what is outlined in this deal seems like the optimal growth to success for everyone. Let me expand on the deal.

I don’t really care about research. Okay. I care about my gut and what my gut says is we need to be aggressive. It’s fine that you feel that way. It’s just that my Aunt Maggie believes that if we just have a little bit more patience. Ah-huh. Okay. I know what Aunt Maggie believes. All right. But Aunt Maggie seems to be a little bit, how do I say this out of touch?

Can I ask you a question? How old is Aunt Maggie? I’m sorry. How is that relevant? It is very relevant, Stephanie, and I promise you. This is not about women. I love women. I’m into women. I’m into hashtag me too. I’m into all that. But listen, I go fast and Aunt Maggie is not gonna be able to keep up with me.

Ah, I think that’s what you’re wrong. She can definitely keep up with you. Trust me, that woman is super shrewd, which is amazing given how new she is to the business. I’m sorry, new to the business. Um, she’s the ceo. I, I assumed that she had a lot of ex experience. She does, she does. I mean, she ran a lot of successful restaurants.

Oh, what, like, uh, buddies, Pergo Barn. Was she the manager? No, no. Uh, I’m talking about upscale venues. Oh. That totally flourish under her. Excellent. Leadership and, and, and guidance. And she’s got this. Oh, okay. Good. Well, listen, um, I’m glad that you’ve clued me in on this, but um, look, dude, I didn’t realize I was about to make a billion dollar deal with a total newbie,

Maggie, I am so glad you’re here. How are you? Uh, I’m still trying to get my head around all of this. I mean, I know that Beau is alive, but seeing him lying in that bed, yeah, it’s a lot. Yeah. For all of us. For you and Victor especially Hope. Yeah. She said Bo squeezed her hand. Yeah. But unfortunately there’s been no progress since then.

So we’re making plans to move him to a long-term care facility. I heard, I’m hoping he wakes up before it comes to that, but, uh, doesn’t look good. Don’t give up. Paul Roman. Your brother is so strong and I just, I just feel it in my heart that he’s gonna be just fine. So is Kate.

All right. We caught a break. There’s only one sea lane that passes by the island where we found Kate’s boat and only a handful of ships have been in that area. Is there a list? Uh, yeah, I’m gonna pull that up right now. But here in the meantime, take a look at the live radar. Well, that’s strange, isn’t it?

What is that? It’s a cargo ship, but it doesn’t seem to be moving. Yeah. Let’s see. Says it’s been anchored off the coast for several weeks. Is it docked? No. She’s just hanging out there in the water. Okay, let me see if I can pull up some more information here.

Okay, it says the owner of the ship is Dimitri Vonner.

Well, I certainly see where Billy gets spunk. So what are you gonna do, Dimitri? Are you going to poison my food? No. Why would I do that? I need you alive to get what I want and for what, as I said, all in good time. Okay, so you haven’t called for ransom. You won’t share your endgame. Why the hell am I here?

Oh, I figured you’d make some good company and I thought that you might be missing some of the finer things in life, such as.

This 1947 Ruan rust, which will pair quite nicely with the lobster and the Kobe steaks that my personal chef is preparing. Hmm, of course, if you’d prefer your usual grue, in fact,

I’m in. Oh, no, no. Of course. I You can’t have dinner looking like that. Oh, will forgive me. I forgot my gown. I didn’t. You can use my private bathroom to shower and change. Okay. Look, if you think that I’m going to put out, oh, no, no, no. I’m well aware that your days and. Knights as an escort are longa? No, it’s just that I would prefer personally that my dining companion smell a fit less fishy.

Dimitri Von Leischner. You’re kidding me. Oh, you know this guy? Yeah. I met him a few years ago in Phoenix. It’s like a James Bond villa, and he’s, uh, tried to steal the Almanian peacock. The what? The what? It’s a, a statue that could vaporize an entire city. It’s. It’s kind of hard to explain, but Kate’s daughter, Billy was instrumental in taking him down.

So what if he found, Kate realized who she was and then took her hostage to get back at the woman that screwed him over? Well, that would explain why Kate hasn’t reached out to anybody. Hey, hey. Wait a minute. Isn’t de Maitre locked up in Supermax? I guess we better find out.

You know, Dr. William had an incredible career. Just think about all the people you’ve helped, all the lives you’ve touched all 5,000 of them. You keep saying 5,000. It’s not that many. Oh, no, no. What about all the listeners that called into your radio show? Think about that. No, no, no. I’m so sorry. Still doesn’t amount to 5,000.

All right? All right. So maybe the numbers don’t work out like that. But the point is, you have literally talked people off the ledge.

I wanna know what happened. Matt, what pushed you this far suck. Steph, you wouldn’t even know about. I can’t know unless you tell me. You don’t even wanna know. You don’t really care. I do care. If I didn’t care, believe me, I wouldn’t be here.

I’m gonna fall. No, Matt, you’re okay. You don’t look down. Look up. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Look up. I can. You can. You can look up. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Okay. Okay. Keep breathing. You wanna help you? You can do this. Yeah. Look at me. Look at me.

Don’t at me. Okay. Okay. And take that hand. Take it. Let a boy, let a.

I promise you that I,

I got,

I got, come on, man. Come.

See how you almost died helping that kid. You know what? Given the chance I would, I would do it again. I would risk it. I know you would. I guess that’s easy to say now that we both survived. Yeah. May be easy to save, but the fact is, You’ve always put your patient first regardless, because that’s, it’s just who you are.

Alex didn’t mean to give you the impression that Maggie isn’t qualified. Not only is she extremely capable, savvy, and smart, she is highly respected among her peers and her peers would be what? The cast of the Golden Girls dude. I mean, this is not a brand for me. I need a CEO who, who’s immersed and who’s in it.

You know what, you’re right, Yuri, right? Maybe Maggie isn’t completely in touch, but don’t get me wrong, what she outlined in this deal is rock solid. But yes, it is possible that given her demo, maybe she. Doesn’t have a full appreciation for the tech space and your goals within it, but I do. You’re a Yuri freaking chasnoff.

Mm-hmm. You want to come out swinging. You want to revolutionize and inspire and disrupt. Exactly. Then let’s do it. We can get there easily waiting for, easily all we gotta do, sign that contract and then we’ll tweak a few things. Alex, I don’t know about that. I think, I think we should stick to the original terms.

I think you should listen to your friend. Listen. You totally get it, bro. But now we need to change it up a little bit. But first I need an energy boost. Perfect. I’ll grab another round. No, no. I need something a little bit stronger. Where’s the bathroom? Right back there. I’ll be back.

What the hell are you doing?

I thought you could use this. Ah, yes, thanks. Are you getting any sleep at all? Not much. I’m trying to spend as much time here with Beau as I can, and uh, I also want to help with a search for Kate. Of course, but Roman, now that Steve is on the case, you know, it’s just a matter of time before she’s fell.

Yeah, he and Chad been going nonstop along with Harris. Michaels nice, isn’t he? The man who is brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. Yeah, but Chad and Andrew are convinced he is fully deprogrammed. Steve’s not so sure and neither am I, but at this point, we need all the help we can get. Well, thanks man. Andrew’s not picking up.

Well, I just talked to Frankie last, he heard his cousin Dimitri was still behind bars. Well, that’s, uh, what Dimitri wants you to believe, but it’s not true. What are you talking about? I just spoke to Sebastian Allen, man. He had a guard check on Dimitri, and guess what? The guy cooling his heels in prison is an imposter.

He escaped. How long ago? Well, uh, faint Dimitri’s not talking, which means the real Dimitri could be on that cargo ship and he could be holding Kate hostage.

Better, Kate, you look stunning.

Shall we die?

I still can’t get ahold of Andrew. Should we just reach out to the Coast Guard? Maybe they can make contact with the ship. No, no, no. I don’t like the idea of giving Dimitri a heads up. It’s better than taken by surprise. Yeah, I agree. Let’s surprise him then.

Where was mine? Well, you’re staying here. You’re a civilian. No, not. I’m with Harris on this one. What do you mean? You know, case like a mother to me. I’m not staying here. I also know that you’re an actual father to two young children, Steve. Man, I can handle myself. Got a front row seat to his last scheme.

All right. I, I, I had got a good sense of how he works. Okay. I, maybe I can pick up on some things that you guys don’t, you know, make sure that none of us get hurt and he doesn’t slip away.

He’s got a point.

Well, you certainly clean up nicely. I trust you. Like the dress. Where’s the lobster?

Uh, I knew exactly how you feel, Kate. When I left prison, I inhaled my first meal in about five seconds flat. You know, you never explained. Now you got out of prison. Hmm. Even behind bars. I had plenty of resources. Eventually I traded places with some, sorry, SAP, who agreed to impersonate me. Well, that sounds risky.

Oh no, not at all. In fact, it was surprisingly easy, and now no one even knows I’m gone.

You know, Maggie, what I don’t get. Is if Katie’s still alive, where’s she been all this time, and why in the hell hasn’t she contacted anyone? I mean, that’s not a good sign, is it? Oh Roman, your Kate has faced so many obstacles in her lifetime and she’s overcome every last one of them, and this, this time is no different.

Well, I appreciate you saying that. You know what, Maggie? You’re pretty tough yourself. Matter of fact, I hear you kicking butt at Titan. Mm. I don’t know about that, but I’m enjoying the challenge. Well, it had to be kind of tricky, just dropping everything and flying over here with Victor. Oh, he tried to talk me into staying behind.

Uh, he went on and on about the importance of my presence in the office. But there was no way, so I had to leave Alex in charge while I was gone. I hopes that was a mistake. Maggie told you to stick to the original agreement. I know that, but I had to do something. He was gonna walk out of the deal because you were undermining Maggie.

I misspoke. It was an accident. I’m trying to make up for it. But you’re not authorized to change the terms. I know that. But all that matters right now is that obnoxious jerk signs with Titan, and I’m gonna get it done. You asked me to help you stay on course, and right now you are drifting way out into unchartered waters and you need to turn around now.

Then we’re gonna lose him. Whoa, we won’t. This is a great deal. Remind Yuri how excited he was about it. He’s not excited right now. He’s ready to walk. He’s just getting cold. Feet. Feet. You need to reassure him. Sell him on Maggie’s vision. Believe in it. Be confident in it because the truth is, Yuri would be damn lucky to be in business with Titan.

So stand firm and do not give in. Okay.

You know, dog helping that kid off ledge. It wasn’t the only time your job became hazardous to health. You remember Roger lumbar? Hmm. So the drunk driver that hit Kimberly. Yeah, I know. Yeah. And yet he was not the most dangerous member of that family. No. Hell no. That was Stella. And she was convinced that you were having an affair with her husband and she proved her elegance and sophistication by throwing me in a pit.

Yeah. And in my attempt to rescue you, I fell right into that pit with you. You did. But you know what? Just that time of being in danger. And being together in it, that, that rekindled our love. That was, I was really busy being in control, you know, just determined to stay in control and be perfect and, and I guess I let everybody down, didn’t I?

And Doc, you never let anybody down before. Said maybe yourself. Got that. You’re always there for people. The care you give to your kids, to Wilma, your patience, you make a difference. You change people lives. You, well, not always for the better, I don’t think. Oh yeah. Who’s your source? Who you been talking to?

Huh? You talked to anybody whose life you’ve changed lately. Why don’t you talk to me? I talked from facts changed my life, doc. Sir. Made me hole again. Made me hole again, doc.

Remember what I was like when I came into. What did she do? Who was I? Huh? Who was I? When was I? I was out there. You talk about being in the dark. How long was I out there? What’d you do? You just kinda reached out. You just kept reaching, didn’t you? Until you pulled me right in.

It’s true dog. I would still be in the dark if it weren’t for you. And I thank God every day I met you.

You know the success you’ve had over the years, especially with patients that everyone else thought was a lost cause. You stuck with them. You never gave up. I’m telling you, doc, you were a real miracle worker. I wouldn’t say that. What? What? What are you talking about? You rehabilitated a serial killer.

Thanks to you, Ben Weston overcame his demons, became a real standup guy. Well, he did all the hard work. I’m just so proud of the man he has become. So lost, overwhelmed.

Then that’s where I found Sarah after she crashed her bike. That is when my life began again.

I still can’t believe how lucky I am. Really, it wasn’t luck. Ben, you have worked very hard to prove that you deserved a second chance.

That chance wouldn’t even be possible without you. Dr. Evans, your guidance, your support, that is what made me into the man I am today. Have a job, have a wife, have a baby.

I owe everything to you. And I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be able to repay you.

Oh, I heard from Ben. He is over the moon. To be becoming a father again. Nice. And you know what, sweetheart, there’s no question about it. You deserve a little bit of credit for that happiness you gave that young man a whole new life.

Sorry, I had to clear my head. Oh, no problem at all. My man. See that? Sure. You know, while you were gone? Yeah. I was taking another look at this original contract. Yeah. I gotta say, terms are pretty awesome. I think we gotta stick with it. I’m sorry. I don’t know. Madden, you got me pretty pumped up for something a little more in your face.

Yeah, but that’s not always the best approach. Yuri, you know better than anybody. You start too hot, you flame out. I think if we take Maggie’s approach and have a little bit more patience, it’s gonna pay off big time in the long run. I promise you. I’m talking about like sustained substantial profitability for the long term.

You know what, I’m gonna go back to the sailor man. I’m gonna have a nice sleep tonight. Nah, I think we need to close it up tonight. My guy. Let’s lock it in, you know, celebrate at the party. Rolling. Hey, you do, I know you. You don’t wanna kill a vibe. No. Uhuh. Uhuh. I dig you Alex. K. But. You made me realize something very important.

I don’t have enough information on Mag. I can’t make this decision yet. Okay. I just can’t make it yet. Woo. Thanks for the drink. You know, Yuri, I, I think we, where you going? Yuri? Yuri. Yuri. Hey.

Well, maybe now that you’re in a more talkative mood, you’ll explain to me. While you haven’t made a ransom request, I, I don’t think you’re keeping me around just for my company, Kate, as I have mentioned, there are still many factors at play. Like what? Well, for starters, if I were to just ask for a large sum of money, what could, would it do me?

Everyone would know that I’d escaped prison and they would send me right back. So you’re looking for immunity. It’s a bit more complicated than that.

We good? Good. Let’s do it.

Okay. We just split up. Chad, you stick with me. What? No, I, I already told you I can handle myself. I can, and we’ll cover more ground separately. Okay. Text, if you find any Santa.

I can’t believe this. I can’t, I cannot believe this. Damn it. S Steph, I, I, I blew it. I’m an idiot. Don’t freak out. Yuri didn’t say no. Well, he just walked outta your stuff. What am I gonna do? Now? You get him back to the table and you don’t let him leave until he’s on board. This is a temporary setback, Alex, a blip.

It is completely normal for someone to second guess signing a deal this big. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. So just don’t freak out and take a deep breath. Regroup. This is not over. You’re right. I just have to keep pressing on and convince Yuri that not signing with Titan would be a huge mistake and I will help you.

I promise we will find a way to spend this. You’re a life saver, really. I’ll settle for a deal saver. Well, hopefully tomorrow we get this whole thing wrapped up and Maggie never finds out about this little blip. Mm-hmm.

And there she is. It’s Maggie. Okay. Be cool.

Hey, auntie Mag. Yeah. Yeah. No, uh, everything went great. No, he didn’t sign right now. Um, but like I said, everything went great and I have no doubt that he will be on board tomorrow. Um, no he isn’t. I just spoke to Mr. Kassoff and he decided the Titan is not a good fit. After all, the deal is off. What? No, no, no, no.

That, that, that, that’s insane, auntie. No, I’m, I’m gonna fix this. I’m gonna go to the Salem in right now and I’m gonna talk to him. No, I think you’ve said enough already. Yuri told me that he, he had some doubts about my terms, but you got ’em all excited with a vision that was more in your face, and he doesn’t think that I’m the right person to see it through.

Boy’s dead wrong, auntie, and I’m gonna fix this. I’m sorry, I’m, I’m gonna make it up to you. No, Alex, this is the last straw. Auntie, don’t be angry with me. I’m not angry. I’m just disappointed. You, you told me that I wouldn’t regret trusting you. You promised you wouldn’t let me down. And you did so I’m sorry to say.

That you’re fired

now. That’s a promise inside.

What are we here?

So you don’t want immunity for your crimes? Oh, no, no. I do. Along with something else. And I need everything. And it’s precise place in order for me to achieve my goal. Please don’t tell me you’re going after that damn peacock again. No. What I’m after is of a much more personal nature. You see what I’m hoping?

I would like to propose a toast. Do you doc? What an incredible career you have had. Continue to have. You provided so much care and comfort to two people in need, and through your hard work and determination, your dignity, your, your style, your grace, the most importantly, if you’re loving heart, you have made an indelible mark in not only this town but the entire world.

So here is to you, Dr. Marlena Evans. You are a true legend. Cheers.

What a lovely celebration. Hmm. Perfect. In fact, well, there’s nothing I enjoy more than celebrating my extraordinary wife. Oh, thank you brother. Hmm.

Then you know what? What? Maybe 5,000 isn’t such a crazy number after all. Hmm. Well, in that case, It’ll.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Can we meet?

[ Sighs ]

Sharon: Summer, you’re not leaving already, are you?

Summer: I– I forgot I have something that I really need to take care of.

Sharon: Well, wait, let me get you a cup of coffee first, or a hug.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Thanks for the break. I should get back to work.

Tucker: Hold on. Not until you’ve told me why you’ve been distracted this whole time. Don’t tell me you’ve grown inured to my charms.

Ashley: Is that even humanly possible?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: It’s her.

Tucker: Oh, diane?

Ashley: Of course. How did this happen? How is she out on bail and living with us?

Tucker: Karmic payback for something we did in our past life, or this one? Hard to say.

Ashley: You know, I don’t understand. Jack and kyle think she’s so wonderful. They think she’s a saint after everything that she’s done to them and now she’s charged with murder. It doesn’t matter. How does she pull this off?

Tucker: She’s a master manipulator. I’m so sorry you’re so upset about it.

Ashley: How could I not be upset? Jack thinks I’m unreasonable because I have qualms about sharing a home with somebody who’s been accused of murder. She can’t go anywhere because of her ankle monitor. I’m stuck with her. God, then she’s driven this huge wedge between jack and me.

Tucker: How does any judge allow a flight risk like diane out on bail? The woman knows how to disappear.

Ashley: [ Sighs] I wish she’d do it again.

Sally: [ Groans] There, are you satisfied? Can I get back to work now?

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Hello.

Adam: Sally, great news. Mccall is officially all mine.

Sally: Congratulations.

Adam: Victor agreed to my terms. No meddling. I have complete autonomy, which includes all staffing decisions.

Sally: Well, I still haven’t had a chance to–

Adam: Yeah, I know that you wanted some time to think it over and I’m not trying to pressure you. But I have been digging into the mess that tucker made and I am eager to get my team in place. There’s so much to do and I think that you’re gonna be as excited by the challenge as I am.

Sally: Well, I have to talk to chloe before I can get back to you about the offer.

Adam: This could be a real opportunity for us to turn a total failure into a major success.

Sally: Okay. I will let you know.

Nick: Sounds like good news. Let me guess, jill loved your pitch and is ready to offer you a lucrative contract.

Sally: Not quite. I need to talk to you about something.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: But I need you to promise me to hear me out and not rush to judgment.

Nick: What’s going on? She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Tucker: I realize that having diane under the same roof is a nightmare for you, but let’s not forget that you also invited me into your home.

Ashley: I know, I’m partially to blame for the tension.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, no.

Ashley: I get it.

Tucker: No, what I’m saying is while I’m there, it will be my mission to distract you with more, uh, pleasurable thoughts.

Ashley: Oh. Well, I like that. It’s not good for me to be so angry all the time.

Tucker: No, it isn’T. And if it’s any consolation, I’m gonna do my best to make sure that diane’s stay is as unpleasant for her as possible.

Ashley: Okay.

Adam: Ashley.

[ Ashley groans ]

Adam: How are you?

Ashley: Good.

Adam: Tucker. Enjoying early retirement? It must be nice to be out from under the burden of a failing empire.

Tucker: Well, adam, as the buddha said, sitting under the bodhi tree, “why don’t you kiss my ass?”

[ Ashley laughs, coughs ]

Adam: Well, in case you haven’t heard, mccall unlimited is mine. I’m now in charge of trying to salvage your failed company.

Tucker: I did hear that. I– I heard that victor intended to hand it over to you, as a bailout for your failures at jabot and newman.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, actually, victor knew that I wanted a challenge. It’s kind of hard to know what to tackle first. I mean, the mismanaged books and the exodus of any talented staff you once had, or just the terrible mccall name. I mean, can I ask you a serious question? How did you let things get so bad?

Ashley: I think he was busy becoming a better person, adam, and got a little distracted. Didn’t notice that incompetence had kind of run into the ground.

Adam: Mm. Well, self-improvement can be a burden.

Ashley: How would you know?

Adam: Uh, luckily, I understand the value of a work-life balance. Although that– that’s gonna be put to the test trying to make this company better.

Ashley: Ooh, that’s hilarious. You should be so grateful that you are allowed to run anything bigger than a lemonade stand.

Adam: Oh, it’s gonna be fun–

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Adam: — Turning this into a major success, something much bigger than you could’ve ever imagined.

Tucker: I hope it flourishes. Uh, but, uh, I’ve let go of any attachment to it.

Adam: Right. You’ve reached enlightenment.

[ Ashley sucking on straw ] Was that before or after my father paid the, uh, inflated price for your broken company?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Bye, adam.

Adam: Have a nice lunch.

Ashley: [ Whispers ] How did you not just punch him in the face?

Tucker: It’s just mesmerizing watching you come to my defense like that. I don’t know if I’m– if I’m just moved or a little bit turned on right now.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: I’m frustrated that the adams and the dianes of the world are actually failing upwards.

Tucker: Right here.

Ashley: What are you doing?

Tucker: You can say whatever you want. I’m starting to believe that you actually care for me.

Ashley: Um…

Sharon: It’s good to see you out and about. Nick said that you’ve been spending a lot of your time alone and you haven’t replied to his texts or calls. He’s worried about you.

Summer: Uh, yeah, I’ve just been trying to conserve my energy for harrison. Trying to keep things as normal as possible for him, which is a challenge.

Sharon: I get wanting to conserve your energy right now. But that doesn’t mean you have to go through this alone. You know, there are plenty of people who love you and understand what you’re going through. The grief, the shock, the pain, the anger, whatever it is that you’re feeling, it’s perfectly normal under these circumstances. Just know there is a community of people here for you every step of the way.

Summer: Yeah. To be honest, sharon, I mean, all the support, it’s actually just making me feel like I need to take care of other people’s feelings about my well-being. And it’s just easier to be alone. So, thank you for the hug and for the coffee. I promise I will answer my dad.

Daniel: Excuse me. Um, sorry, I need to talk to my sister, please?

Sally: Uh, I was hoping to have some more time to think this through, but now it seems I have to make a decision sooner than I thought.

Nick: Well, I’m ready to be a sounding board.

Sally: So, chloe and I got some not-great news. Jill does not want to lock us into a contract. Maybe down the road, but not right now.

Nick: Really? That is surprising. I thought you had a killer pitch and you guys were gonna close that deal today.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, I thought it was gonna happen, too, but jill delivered the bad news before we even had a chance to present our newest plans.

Nick: Okay. Uh, good news delayed.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, it could still happen, but that would mean hoping for a maybe as opposed to betting on a sure thing.

Nick: You can’t knock a sure thing.

Sally: Right. Which is exactly why I’m giving this serious consideration.

Nick: Does this mean you’re ready to take me up on my proposal to invest in your business? Because, sally, I would love to partner with you on this.

Sally: [ Laughs softly ] Um, it’s actually about another opportunity.

Nick: Why are you being cagey?

Sally: Because it would mean working at mccall. For adam.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Nick: Are you actually considering taking the job?

Sally: Well, I have to make a living, so… yeah.

Nick: But my offer to help you set up your own business was met with a resounding no. But you’re willing to go and work with adam at this company my father bought for him? In what capacity?

Sally: I don’t know, adam didn’t go into details. And like I said, I don’t even know how I feel about it. I thought I was gonna have more time to think this through, but that was adam on the phone and he’s eager to get his team in place.

Nick: Yeah, this is clearly his way to insinuate himself back into your life. He saw an opportunity and boom, there you go. I mean, he will do whatever it takes to stay close to you.

Sally: Right. Because it couldn’t possibly be about my skill set you know, I did a pretty great job as C.O.O. And C.E.O. Of newman. So, maybe adam recognizes that?

Nick: That’s why i wanted to invest in you. That’s why I fought so hard for you to stay at newman. Why I went to bat to get you that second meeting with jill, because I believe in your talent. That’s why I advocate for you every day.

Sally: Right. Unless it involves working with adam.

Nick: Look, he just– he always has an agenda. He and my father are alike in that way. You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think my father’s gonna have a hand in everything that goes on there.

Sally: He’s giving adam carte blanche to run it the way that he wants.

Nick: Is that what he told you? Sally, he bought that company so he could get adam back under control. I’m telling you, you’re walking into a minefield. This is my dad and adam trying to exert control over you, and you and your baby don’t need that.

Ashley: Oh, well, hello. Are you gonna try to kick me out of the office, too?

Jack: No, I just came to pick up some work to take home.

Ashley: Of course, because the woman who’s in lockdown must be kept company at all costs.

Jack: Ash, I am too tired to do this with you. Could we just put a pin in this fight over diane and talk to each other? You’re my sister. I care a great deal about you and I– I– I miss you.

Ashley: Okay. Okay. I have a couple of minutes, sure.

Jack: Okay.

Ashley: So, what did you want to discuss?

Jack: I want to talk about us, about this. This tension, I hate it.

Ashley: I don’t like it very much either, jack.

Jack: Look, I know diane is not your favorite person, but are you really this bitter and angry?

Ashley: I am, unfortunately.

Jack: I don’t buy that.

Ashley: Well, do you want to tell me how I’m feeling?

Jack: I think you’re using me and diane as a punching bag to avoid some realities in your own life.

Ashley: Okay. So, what am I avoiding exactly?

Jack: The possibility that you are not as tough and in control of your life as you pretend to be. I think these attacks are defensive. I think it’s about self-preservation. I think you’re trying to avoid feelings that you have for tucker that you know you shouldn’t have.

[ Diane breathing deeply ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tucker: Hi.

[ Diane sighs ] You must miss the jailyard, huh? You want to lift some weights or should we have a knife fight?

[ Diane scoffs ]

Diane: You know what I love most about this house? How spacious it is. Don’t you have somewhere else you could be?

Tucker: I gotta give you credit. You’re back to the old diane, you know? Tenacious nerves of steel. Although, I’m amazed you’re willing to take this chance.

Diane: You know, clearly you’re looking to bother me with this conversation. So, why don’t you go ahead and say what you want to say so I can go back to enjoying some fresh air and sunshine? Hmm? Hey, go ahead. You got my attention.

Daniel: How can you accept all of sharon’s sympathy and kindness? It’s like every second you stood there, it was like another lie.

Summer: Oh, my– why are you being like this?

Daniel: Like what?

Summer: So self-righteous. I hate this as much as you do. Probably even more. But you– you seem to think that there’s one clear answer: Save diane.

Daniel: And you want to send your husband’s mother to prison for a crime she didn’t commit. How is that the solution?

Summer: Oh– that’s not what I want. And I think you know that. But you weren’t there when mom came to me. You didn’t hear directly from her the hell that she’s been going through.

Daniel: That’s one of her own creation.

[ Summer scoffs ]

Summer: That right there. That judgment. Mom was completely terrified and she didn’t come to you ’cause she knew that you wouldn’t look out for her. And I really thought that she was wrong, but clearly, I made a mistake in telling you. I should’ve listened to mom.

Daniel: Don’t you– don’t you dare tell me that I don’t care about what happens to our mother. You know she called me, too? Trelegy for copd.

Daniel: I got a mysterious phone call last night. The person on the other end didn’t speak. But I– I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was mom trying to reach out to me.

Summer: You’re sure that it was her?

Daniel: No, summer. That is the whole point. I mean, it could’ve been a wrong number. It could’ve been a total stranger that I– I’m talking to like it– it’s our dead mother. Or it could’ve been someone we know who’s wondering why I’m talking to our dead mother. I mean, don’t you see that this is driving us both crazy?

Summer: Look, I told you that I just need time. I’m trying to figure this out. I’m trying to learn all the evidence that they have in stark’s murder. And I’m researching what the burden of proof would be for self-defense.

Daniel: Are you gonna get a law degree? Are you gonna become a homicide detective?

Summer: Daniel, I’m struggling here. I’m trying to help our mom and I’m scared for her. God.

Daniel: Listen, the longer we wait, the worse this is gonna be for her and for everyone else. I mean, don’t you see what this is doing to us?

Summer: I hate it, too.

Daniel: [ Scoffs ] You know, meanwhile, I’m wondering if she’s halfway around the world somewhere, living a new life, while she’s reveling in the fact that diane’s being convicted for a murder that she didn’t commit.

Summer: No, mom’s focus is on getting back to us. But she can’t do that if you blow this open. And if you tell kyle and he realizes that I knew, you’re gonna blow up my marriage, too. How can you not see that?

Jack: I think you have real feelings for tucker. I think he has reawakened the flame that the two of you shared together and that makes you feel vulnerable and I know that’s terrifying for you.

Ashley oh, don’t stop. I love that you’re an expert on my feelings. Please keep going.

Jack: I know you longer than anyone on this earth, ashley. Think about this. Every time you told me to stay away from diane, to not get involved again, you used yourself as an example. You were better than I was because you knew not to get involved with tucker. And here we are, he’s now invited into our home.

Ashley: And you did the same thing with diane, jack.

Jack: Diane and I are getting married! This game you’re playing and tucker lives under our roof and stays in a guest room, that’s so you can control him. You keep him at a distance, but you can still influence things.

Ashley: Okay. You know what? I don’t have to listen to this–

Jack: No, wait, listen to me.

Ashley: What?

Jack: Listen, I know what you’re feeling because I felt it myself when I was falling back in love with diane. I didn’t want to get hurt. I didn’t want to trust that the change I saw in her was real. I know what’s happening to you because it happened to me.

Ashley: Okay. If you understand that, then why is it okay for you but not for me?

Jack: Because tucker hasn’t changed. He is the same manipulative operator he has always been.

Ashley: Okay, but diane, who’s actually charged with killing another human being is a brand new woman. Just look at yourself. You’re exhausted. All you do is deal with diane and her issues. She’s turned you into somebody I don’t even know anymore, jack. But you’re making better choices than me. You can take your psych 101 crap and shove it.

Jack: Hey, wait. Your armor’s already up again. You can’t even be vulnerable with me. The way you’re acting, you could never trust tucker, or anybody else for that matter. And you know what? That gives me an advantage over you. I have something you don’t– the ability to open my heart. To let someone in, to trust. Don’t pity me too much. Save some for yourself.

[ Door slamming ]

Tucker: Okay, truth time. Uh, no offense, but I don’t think you have it in you to have killed phyllis.

Diane: Gee, thanks. None taken.

Tucker: But here’s the reality. There’s plenty of proof to convict you. And your past is going to enter that courtroom for sure. Your fake death, the way deacon sharpe helped you frame everyone in town. Everyone you’ve ever crossed is gonna hate you all over again, which is gonna make the proof look even worse.

Diane: Thanks for trying to cheer me up, tucker.

Tucker: I’m trying to help you. This trial will force jack and kyle to live through everything you did to them, all over again. And this time you can add summer and harrison as collateral damage. And how long before this destroys kyle and summer’s marriage? Do you want to be responsible for that? Poor jack. He is going to be crushed when you’re facing life in prison.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] This is the worst pep talk ever.

Tucker: You don’t need a cheerleader, diane. You need a way out of here. I can give you that.

Sally: This baby is exactly who I’m thinking about. She is the only reason why I’m considering adam’s offer. And like I said, I don’t even know what I’m gonna do, but I have a child to support.

Nick: Your baby will be very well taken care of as a newman.

Sally: This baby is a spectra, and making sure that she’s provided for is my sole purpose now. And I’m not just talking about some job. I need to assure that I have a career. That is important to me. It is a part of my identity and I want to be a strong role model for my daughter.

Nick: You will be. Sally, you are, you don’t need a job from adam to prove that.

Sally: Adam and I worked well together. And I am perfectly capable of being able to separate the professional from the personal.

Nick: Well, you may be, but adam isn’T.

Sally: I need something career-wise, and maybe this isn’t it, but maybe it is. I just need the sense of purpose that comes from having a profession. I have had one failure after another and I don’t know, maybe this is the chance for me to get back in the game.

Nick: And that is exactly what adam wants you to think. Sally, you may not want to hear this, but I’m gonna say it anyway. If you go and work for adam, it’ll be one of the biggest mistakes of your life. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

“The young and the restless” will continue. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

Sally: I didn’t ask for your opinion, nick. In fact, I asked you not to rush to judgment.

Nick: I’m not rushing into anything, all right? I speak from years of experience.

Sally: Okay. Well, then maybe I should’ve also added, please don’t insult me by assuming that I can’t read the situation without your insights into how the newman mind works. I’m becoming an expert and it’s not as complicated as you all might think. It’s all about ego and power.

Nick: Do not lump me in with adam and dad. Look, I’m telling you, if you go and work for adam, he’s gonna chip away at every boundary you set until you have nothing.

Sally: I’m not naive to adam’s motivations. Please give me some credit. Look, I have somewhere to be.

Nick: Please don’t go.

Sally: We will talk about this later.

[ Sighing ]

Chance: Everything good?

Daniel: Obviously not, given the circumstances.

Chance: You know, I’ve seen a lot of families pull together after a traumatic loss like this. But I have also seen a lot fall apart. And I really hope that you and summer can find some way to lean on each other.

Daniel: That’s a struggle. Um, so, diane’s out on bail. You know when her trial’s gonna be? It looks like there’s a lot of evidence against her and– think she’ll be convicted?

Chance: Look, I’ll, uh– I’ll be honest with you, man. I don’t think that diane acted alone.

Daniel: So, there are other people of interest? Are there any leads that you’re following that could exonerate diane?

Chance: Look, I can’t make you any promises, but even if we were to find that accomplice, with the case being so strong against diane, I am very confident that there will be justice for your mother’s murder.

Tucker: You know how to disappear. You’ve done it before. I can give you anything you want. Money, I.D., Anything stark did to set you up with a new life, I can do. Only with no strings attached.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Or should I say ashley would like that? And then she might invite you into her bed instead of relegating you to the guest room.

[ Chuckles ]

Tucker: I’m talking about what you want, diane.

[ Diane sighing ] I know how much you care about jack and kyle. You worked so hard to redeem yourself with them, to rebuild your relationship with them, right?

Diane: That’s right.

Tucker: That’s right. I can relate to that.

[ Laughs softly] I admire it, even. I know what you’ve got to lose here. Can you deny what watching you get convicted will do to jack and kyle, the whole family? You really want to put them through that?

Diane: Thank you for your consideration, tucker. This conversation’s over.

Chloe: What is this important offer I had to rush over to discuss? Please tell me, did jill reconsider and I get to go buy all those desk lamps because we scored our first big fish client?

Sally: Unfortunately, no change of heart from jill.

Chloe: Okay. So, what has changed since we last saw each other?

Sally: I was offered a job.

Chloe: What? Where?

Sally: With adam. But before you say anything–

Chloe: Absolutely not. No, no, you are not going to dump our plans just so he can suck you back into a black hole. No way.

Sally: Okay, that’s basically what nick said. But look, this is not just an offer for me, okay? It’s for both of us. Adam made me a blanket offer: Craft the job you want with the people that you want, and that includes my business partner.

Chloe: How did nick not talk you out of this?

Sally: He tried, but it’s not his decision to make.

Chloe: So, he obviously thinks it’s a bad idea. And I couldn’t agree more.

Sally: So, you hate adam so much that you’re ready to ignore an opportunity like this?

Chloe: Yes.

Sally: But we worked with him before.

Chloe: And it was excruciating.

Sally: Okay, look, I-it’s just an option, okay? I– I haven’t agreed to anything.

Chloe: So, if you are willing to consider a job from adam, then will you revisit nick’s offer to invest?

Sally: You know how I feel about that.

Chloe: How could you choose a business partnership with adam over nick? It just doesn’t make sense.

Sally: Okay, stop, okay? I’m tired of everyone thinking that they know better than me about my own life. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Chloe: You’ve obviously got to do whatever’s best for you. But remember what it was like in the early days, working for adam at newman fashion.

Sally: Yeah, but, I mean, that was a lifetime ago, and things were complicated with chelsea then. I mean, that was a dynamic that was never gonna work. And that was before I proved myself as C.O.O. And C.E.O. Of newman.

Chloe: And that was before you got into a love affair with adam that went horribly awry. And now you’re going to be in a lifetime commitment of co-parenting with him. Do you really want the extra complications of working with him, too?

Sally: I mean, of course, I would love something cleaner. But I have to start dealing with the reality that I need to provide for my daughter.

Chloe: So, you’re just going to abandon our plans because jill decided to put things on hold?

Sally: I’m doing my due diligence of talking to you about a prospect for both of us.

Chloe: Okay. Well, then I’m gonna tell you where I stand. I don’t want to work for adam again. I don’t want my income to be dependent on his moods. And when he realizes that he can’t get in between you and nick, I don’t want to find us out the door again.

Sally: You’re right.

Chloe: And?

Sally: I hate that.

[ Objects clattering ]

[ Groans ]

Chloe: All right. Well, you know what? You are right about one thing. This is your life. You know what’s best for yours and I know what’s best for mine. And that is not working for adam again. So, you can do whatever you want. But if you choose to accept this offer…you’ll be accepting it solo. Just– just take a deep breath. Okay? And just really think about what you want. Freedom or to be tied to adam in every way possible?

[ Door slamming ]

Nick: Hey, what the hell are you thinking?

Adam: Uh, that it’s a beautiful day.

Nick: Didn’t waste any time accepting dad’s offer to run mccall, huh?

Adam: Well, it was too good an offer to pass it up. I mean, what’s the problem? I thought you were all for it. It keeps me away from newman.

Nick: Is, uh, running mccall– does it have anything to do with business, or are you just doing it to get sally back into your life?

Adam: Okay. So, this is about sally?

Nick: She told me about your offer, to lure her to mccall. Whatever she wants, as long as she works for you.

Adam: Look, what is your problem, nicholas? Are you that insecure? Is whatever you have with sally that fragile?

Sharon: Things seemed tense over there.

Chance: Yeah. And he wouldn’t really talk about it. Just kept pressing for more details about the case against diane.

Sharon: Are there any new developments?

Chance: No. Even if there were, I don’t think it would help. I mean, phyllis is still gone. And when the guilty party is your mother-in-law… I can’t imagine how stressed summer is.

Sharon: Yeah.

Chance: I feel for her.

Sharon: I know. That’s why I was hoping having daniel here would be a comfort to her, but… I mean, it’s gotta be hard for her to lean on kyle right now.

Chance: Well, from what I just saw, daniel seems to be adding to the stress, not easing it.

[ Door shutting ]

Jack: Hey, I hope you were able to relax a bit, enjoy some peace and quiet.

Diane: Yeah, well it’s kind of hard to do when everything around here reminds me of what I won’t have when I spend the rest of my life in prison.

Jack: Hey, I thought we were gonna not let the stress get to us?

Diane: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, that was uncalled for. I don’t need to create any more friction around here than I already have.

Jack: Hey, talk to me. What happened? What’s going on?

Diane: Tucker. He offered to help me run so that you and kyle don’t have to watch me get convicted for murder.

Jack: This is your home. You are becoming my wife. How dare–

Diane: No, jack, jack. It’s– it’s okay. I’m not even mad at tucker. He’s just being tucker and he was probably just doing it for ashley. What upsets me is that, you know, for a minute there he was– he was making sense. I could very well be convicted. And it’s horrible and it’s unfair, but it’s the reality. And how can I do that to the people that I love?

Jack: Stop talking like that. This is tucker’s doing, making you think like this.

Diane: You know, to be honest, I’m angry at myself for wanting to run, and even angrier that I just am not strong enough to do it. I mean, at this point, there is nothing I can do that’s not going to cause you more heartache. And I hate that. Jack, I should’ve never, ever come back here if all I was going to do is cause you pain. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Adam: Yes, I offered sally a job. I thought that we were on the same page about what’s doing best for her and the baby.

Nick: Well, working for you isn’t it, adam. She doesn’t need your handout.

Adam: It’s not out of pity. She’s damn good. Okay, she’ll be doing me a favor by joining mccall.

Nick: Oh, come on. That is not what this is about.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Well, apparently, she has run to you to discuss the offer.

Nick: Yes, because we are in a relationship.

Adam: And what, she cares more about your feelings than she does her own feelings?

Nick: She wanted to know what my opinion is about the two of you working together. I’m guessing I don’t need to tell you what I think of the idea.

Adam: Why she puts any faith in you is beyond me. The two of you aren’t married, you’re not even engaged. What can you even offer her, nicholas?

Nick: You don’t need a ring to provide stability and commitment.

Adam: Your track record as a long-term partner is pretty lousy. And now you’re acting like you’re in this for the long haul.

Nick: It’s not an act.

Adam: Why? Because you like her? Nicholas, once that’s over, then what? Because I can say with complete certainty that I will always be there for sally.I loveer. Can you say the same?

[ Sighing ]

[ Sighing deeply ]

Sally: What are we gonna do?

Jack: Listen to me. I don’t ever want to hear you say you should never have come back here. You are the victim here. Of jeremy stark, of circumstancesbeyond your control. And you are not the cause of my pain or kyle’S.

Diane: But my situation is.

Jack: So we work on fixing your situation. There’s gotta be some way to figure out how stark pulled this off.

Diane: How? How, now that he’s dead?

Jack: Michael is working on it, trying to find proof that he framed you for phyllis’s murder. Look, he’s got people looking at the security camera footage, phone records. We are going to find some answers.

Diane: And whoever killed jeremy might have those answers.

Jack: Absolutely. We’re going to pursue that as well. We will find our way out of this.

Diane: You’re right. I haven’t given up hope. It was just a momentary lapse.

Jack: I promise you. This is far from being over.

Diane: I am not running. I am going to stay here and fight these charges and not because of this ankle monitor. But because of you and kyle.

Jack: Come here.

Diane: Aw. But one thing tucker made me see clearly, I– I have got to find a way to make this less agonizing for summer, because kyle loves her so much. I let jeremy do so much damage to this family and their relationship cannot be part of that.

Daniel: Jack, can we meet? There’s something you need to hear.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I recall you saying you felt you owed me for helping to get chase reinstated, and you were wondering when I was gonna ask you to pay up.

Right, you accused me of being just like my father, only thinking in terms of money and stock market shenanigans.

Yeah, well, relax. I’m not gonna ask you for money or stock. But I have thought of something that you can do for me that will settle the account.

I really do wanna pay you back, okay? But right now just isn’t the right time. With willow’s life literally hanging on by a thread and michael needing our love and support, everyone is distracted. It’s not the right time for me to take on a new project.

Exactly. The family is distracted. It is the perfect time for you to do something without attracting unwanted attention from our nearest and dearest. And lucky for you, I know exactly how you’re gonna do it.

You want me to take your place at the home & heart shopping channel? Go back on the very same show where I had a nervous breakdown on national tv?

Okay, I wouldn’t be asking, but I have this stupid sinus infection. And you’re the only person who could step in at a moment’s notice and tell the world about the wonders of our beauty breakthrough, the deceptor!

What about lucy?

The whole world thought she was dead. And knowing lucy, she would feel the need to explain that she wasn’t really dead, she was being held captive by victor cassadine, she’d make the whole thing about herself, and the product would get lost. No. No, gladys. It has to be sasha. [Sighs] My last appearance was a literal nightmare. I hallucinated liam, which almost cost us the company, not to mention the toll it took on my mental health. Besides, I can’t even imagine that home & heart would want me back on the air. I’m sorry, maxie, but the answer–

sasha gilmore, if you say no– okay, I will forgive you. I will. But there is one person who never will.

Your usual, ms. Wu: The house mocktail with a twist of lime.

Kind of you to remember, my dear. Oh, as for my private party?

Yes, I had instructions to reserve the back room for your nephew’s birthday party.

Excellent. Then everything’s being taken care of.

Well, not everything. I mean, you still need someone who knows his way around a deck of cards.

[Applause]

Thank you. Good to see ya.

Ah!

Hey.

Yes! He’s back.

Good to be back.

Yeah?

Aw. And here I wondered if anyone cared that I was finally back to work.

Oh, here. I care. I especially care, because these, my friend, these are for you. Have at it!

Whoa.

So how’s it feel?

Honestly, it kind of feels like I never left. Wait. Why aren’t you at gh?

Well, I was, but willow’s in isolation now, and honestly, there’s only so many times I can tell michael it’s gonna be okay.

How’s willow doing?

She’s weak, but everyone’s optimistic because drew’s back with obrecht.

The bone marrow transplant’s gonna work. It has to.

I know how much willow means to you, so here’s hoping. In the meantime, I’m gonna distract myself by digging into this case.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Yeah, those.

[Somber music]

[Sighs] Things look pretty bad for your friend cody.

Well, yeah, you know, sometimes things aren’t always what they seem.

Oh, sweetheart, you finally made it home.

[Squeals]

And we have you to thank for that.

Oh, it wasn’t just me. We–it took a whole team to make this happen.

Yeah, it took all of us.

Mom, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for curtis and laura and all the others, but most especially, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for spencer.

[Suspenseful music]

 

[Dramatic music]


I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the only thing that matters is that trina’s home safely.

Yeah, curtis is right. You’re safe, and so are all the other people that could have been hurt if victor had his way.

Well, the good thing is that uncle victor didn’t get his way.

Amen to that. And now it’s time to focus on the living, starting with my sweet little grandson, who will hopefully be growing up in a much better world. But first and foremost, we need to check him out and make sure that he didn’t suffer any injuries during his captivity or his rescue.

Oh, oh, of course. Let me take you to pediatrics?

Oh, that’s okay, portia. They’re waiting for us.

Okay.

Thanks.

Do you want me to come with you?

Thanks, but I think that me and my grandmother can handle this. I think it’s probably best that you be with your family right now.

Now, despite everything that spencer’s baby brother has gone through, he is far too young to understand anything that’s happening, so I think he’s gonna be fine.

Okay.

But you, on the other hand, I need to make sure that my little baby girl is all right.

I’m fine, really. But there’s one thing that I need.

Anything.

I need to talk to my dad.

[Suspenseful music]

There is someone who won’t forgive me for not going back on home & heart? Are you talking about valentin or some of the other deception investors? I embarrassed them once, and I won’t risk another meltdown on air.

Okay, sasha, if you don’t get back on that horse or bicycle, or whatever metaphor you wanna use, the only person who’s never gonna forgive you is you! The last time you were at home & heart, you were in a really bad place. And I saw you get through that. I know that you are stronger now than you ever have been before. I wouldn’t be asking you to do this if I didn’t fully believe that. Let’s be real. You’re not just another partner in this company. You are the face of deception. And sadly, it is true that some people get a twisted thrill out of watching others fall down. But you know what people love even more? A redemption story. There’s not a woman out there who didn’t feel your pain, and they wanna see that you’ve come back from that. You absolutely cannot say no.

Maybe sasha can’t say no, but I can.

[Dramatic music]

This is yours for the taking.

If that’s supposed to be your calling card, it should be a joker. As for tonight’s poker game, your presence won’t be required.

Since when?

My guests enjoy playing for high stakes, not with known common criminals. Not only were you foolish enough to steal a bracelet at the nurses’ ball, you made it worse by getting caught.

I’m innocent.

Yeah, for your sake, I hope that’s true. Prison can be so confining. Regardless, didn’t you recently tell me you wanted out of the game?

Yes, I did, but, you know, times change, okay? Defense attorneys don’t come cheap. So come on, have a heart. Let me play for my usual cut.

You may dream big, but at the end of the day, you’re just a petty thief. And there’s just no room at the table for that.

Look, I know that cody is your friend, but do you really buy that someone planted a bracelet in his pocket?

Ever since I’ve known him, cody’s found trouble. I mean, he’d tell you that trouble finds him. But when he landed in town last year, I thought maybe he left all that behind. It looks like maybe he’s still working angles whenever he can. However, this friendship with sasha, it seems legit. And why would he steal her mother-in-law’s bracelet? What, hide it in his coat pocket? It’s ridiculous.

Wasn’t cody friends with britt westbourne? Didn’t that involve some jewelry too?

Yes, but sometimes people do the wrong things for the right reasons. I know I get that, and I’m thinking you’re familiar with that concept as well.

Helping chase get his badge back is worth any price, okay? How much do you want to make us even?

I want you to go back to work at deception– the sooner, the better.

What?

[Laughs] You want me to get my old job back?

Why wouldn’t you? You didn’t burn any bridges when you left, did you?

No, of course not. Those women are all my friends, but… I only started working there in the first place to help maxie. I was pretending to be bailey lou’s mother, and the only way that maxie could see her child was when I brought her to daycare at work.

And when maxie got her child back, you stayed at deception, correct?

I did. I liked working there– you know, the people, the products. But that is not what I wanna do with my life, okay? My passion is in music, or do you not remember telling me as a kid not to follow in my dear old dad’s footsteps when he was singing as eddie maine? You know, it’s a good thing I didn’t take your advice, because not only have i reclaimed the rights to my songs, but all these opportunities are opening up for me now, you know, to produce music and–and rep musicians.

Uh-huh. Well, you can write all the songs you want after you do this for me.

What part of “I quit” is unclear to you?

Un-quit. Tell maxie that you, uh– you miss working with her. Make nice to sasha. And, god forbid, flatter lucy coe. Tell her you wanna learn from her.

This doesn’t make any sense. Why do you care if I work at a cosmetics company? What are you really after, huh?

[Suspenseful music]


I want you to be a standout employee. I want you to make yourself indispensable.

I always try and do that.

And while you’re at it, keep your eyes open. I want you to find out what’s happening at research and development.

Research and development?

I don’t wanna know what the next hot thing for summer is. I don’t wanna know what’s gonna sell in the fall. I wanna know what’s down the pipeline.

I don’t get it. [Laughing] You don’t care about elq, and all of a sudden, you’re all into the cosmetics biz?

Let’s just say I’m curious. From time to time, I will check in with you, and you’ll tell me what the next big thing is. You can do that for me, can’t you, after what I did for chase? Does that sound like a fair deal to you?

What it sounds like is corporate espionage. Are you asking me to be your personal spy?

Sure, I made my share of mistakes, but stealing expensive jewelry isn’t one of them.

That’s good.

[Chuckles] It’s also good to have you back where you belong.

Well, I didn’t do it on my own. I had help.

Right. Right, so you and brook lynn–

you know, if you would have asked me before the nurses’ ball, I would have said no way.

Uh-huh. But then she did that thing where she stood up to her dirtbag ex-manager?

Saved me the trouble from smacking the guy again, not that I would have.

No, no. You’d never. Never.

It’s like you said with cody. Sometimes a person does the wrong thing for the right reason.

– You vouch for me, the other players will come around.

What keeps the poker games running smoothly and profitably is avoiding the curious eyes of authorities. And yet you expect me to allow a common jewel thief to sit down at the table? How could I explain that to my guests? How could I retain their trust?

You can tell them the truth.

And what is that?

That I’m not a thief. I was framed.

I’m sorry, maxie, but I can’t let you use my daughter-in-law to sell some newfangled beauty product, not when her mental health is at stake.

Gladys, thank you for standing up for me, but I know that maxie only means well.

Well, maybe if it was a different show or at a different studio, but to go back to the same place where you had your breakdown? I won’t agree to that.

You’re actually kind of proving my point, gladys. It is sasha’s well-being that I’m thinking about, and she needs to face her fears by doing the same show.

Oh, and what if she’s not ready?

Isn’t that for sasha to decide?

Maxie, are you sure there is no one else to make this presentation?

You and I are the only ones that have been following the deceptor since its planning stages. Nobody knows how to sell it like we do. I wish I were up to the challenge, but my sinuses are holding me back. But you’re up for it. I know you are.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe the only way to conquer my fear is to face it.

You asked if it’s up to sasha to decide. Legally, it is up to me, and I won’t let her do it.

[Suspenseful music]

Are you sure that you don’t need to see a doctor or–

no, it’s just cuts and bruises. Really should have seen the other guy.

[Laughs] I wasn’t only afraid for trina. If anything had happened to you…

portia.

I don’t know–

it’s over.

Is it, curtis?

Hi, it’s laura. Listen, we’re all here at the hospital. I think you’d really wanna be here.

I promise you, little brother, this exam is not going to hurt.

Hey.

Hey.

How’s he doing?

He’s good. I was just telling them that when you used to take me to the doctor… [Laughs] You told me that if I was good, then I would get a lollipop. And I don’t know, I still wish that things were that simple.

Yeah, they’re not that simple because things change, but some things never do.

Okay, so it’s just the two of us. You need to tell me something about this spencer boy?

No, no, no. This isn’t– this isn’t about spencer. This is about you and me. And I wanted to tell you first what I’ve decided because it could impact you more than anyone else.

Okay. So what are you deciding?

I changed my mind. I wanna take the dna test and learn the truth.

[Suspenseful music]


I wanna be absolutely clear. No matter what that test results say, you’re always gonna be my dad.

Like I’d ever let you forget that.

Dad, I’m serious.

Yeah, I know. I know. I just was– just trying to make it easier for you. Um…

[Sighs] But can I ask you why you changed your mind? [Sighs heavily] Because of the last few days and everything I’ve been through. When things were at their worst, I saw how spencer loved his little brother, and it reminded me that there’s nothing more important than family. And that’s when I made the decision that if I made it through, that I wasn’t gonna let secrets come between me and my family ever again.

Like your mom did.

20 years ago, my mom swept things under the rug because she was afraid to face the truth. And one day, in the future, hopefully, I’ll forgive her. But I’m not repeating her mistake. We all need answers, and I’m the only one that can get them.

When you walked through the door, my heart, it just– it skipped a beat because I wasn’t sure…

[Voice breaking] You know, just the thought that I might never see you again.

I’m not gonna lie that there were times when I was out there that I just didn’t think that I was gonna–

excuse me. Curtis ashford?

Who wants to know?

My name is hursley. I’m an agent with the wsb.

I was already debriefed in greenland.

Yes, but not by me. Can I ask you to join me for some additional questions?

[Uneasy music]

Okay, let’s get it over with.

Why plant me back at deception? Oh, don’t tell me you want my employee discount for wrinkle cream?

I don’t have wrinkles. I have character. The only interest I have in cosmetics is lining my pockets with green. You can have all the music you want, but this way, you can also have health insurance. Sounds like a win-win to me.

No, not a chance. I don’t know what you’re actually up to, grandmother, but music is my life. [Cackles] Oh, so you’re telling me that chase has no part in it? Honey, you called me in tears. You begged me to help you because the board was about to deny his request for reinstatement.

Yes, and I have repeatedly expressed my gratitude for your help.

Well, that help, much like that shiny badge, comes at a price, or are you deluded enough to think that that little speech you gave the board single-handedly convinced them to give chase another chance? Ooh, I wonder how chase would react if he knew that he owed his badge not to you, but to me and the very expensive strings I had to pull.

Brook lynn never would have gotten mixed up with linc brown again if she hadn’t been trying to help me get my badge back.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Don’t you have a lot of work to do?

Ah-ha, yeah. I actually do. I wanna start digging into that sec case and see what they got on drew and carly. Do you know the entire quartermaine family, my mother included, believe that ned was behind it? I guess I’m not convinced. But then again, I wasn’t convinced when they found a stolen bracelet in cody’s pocket either.

Gladys corbin set me up, okay? She knows that I’m onto the scam that she’s running, trying to bilk her–her daughter-in-law. So she’s trying to discredit me before I blow her and her plan out of the water.

Cody, I simply don’t care.

Okay, look, and I respect your point of view, but I’ve been a regular in that backroom poker game for a while now. So suddenly, if I’m a no-show, the other players are gonna start asking questions.

Such as?

Why was a petty thief allowed in the game to begin with?

Gladys, it is not up to you to let sasha do anything. She’s a grown woman with a mind of her own.

I know that. But it’s also my responsibility not just as her court-appointed guardian, but also as a member of her family.

So what you’re really saying is, you’re worried you’re gonna lose money because sasha could have another meltdown?

That’s a low blow, maxie.

[Scoffs] Okay, you’re talking about her facing her fears. What if those fears are too strong for her right now? What if she cracks again, and we can’t pick up the pieces?

You’re right, gladys. You do have a say. But my friends and partners at deception have stood by me, and I am ready to return the favor and start living my life again.

[Warm music]

Thanks, grandmother. Orange, too. I like orange. [Laughs] This brings back memories. I just wanna get the all-clear from the doctor so that we can go home.

I know.

Which I know means more time around esme, and I haven’t even told her that we’re back in town yet. But I know that she has every right to be here because she is ace’s mom.

Yes, and I knew that you were gonna feel that way. So I hope you don’t mind, but–

you hope that I don’t mind what?

Where’s my baby?

[Gasps] Here you go.

Hi.

[Soft music]

 

[Crying]


Oh, you would be so proud of your son. He was just as brave, if not braver, than everyone on the “haunted star,” right?

We all made sure that he was safe and warm.

And by we, you mean you and laura, right?

Yes, the two of us helped, but trina also did a lot.

Oh, well, tell her that I owe her a huge thank-you, especially after all the things people say I did to hurt her. I–

if you knew trina, you’d know that she’d never take it out on ace.

I am just glad that the nightmare is over and that victor cassadine is–

is dead. It’s really okay to say it. The world is a better place without him.

[Knocking]

Hi, everybody. I’m here to examine ace. Right, so, esme, you’re his mom, so you can stay. But mayor collins and mr. Cassadine…

[Clicks tongue] Let’s go.

Okay.

[Whispers indistinctly]

[Sighs] So it’s been three months since my whole world turned upside down and I found out that it might be possible… that curtis–oh–

oh, I get it. I get it. You wanna know.

Want to? No. But I feel like I need to know. If curtis is my biological father, that means that I’m related to stella and that marshall would be my grandfather.

Hey, you know what? I appreciate you sharing your decision with me. You know, that’s very kind. That’s who portia and me raised you to be. But you know, just with that said, you don’t need my permission.

Yeah, maybe not, but I would like your blessing.

You have it, baby girl. Today, tomorrow, forever.

[Pensive music]

And I agree with you. Secrets tear families apart.

[Sighs] So you go learn whatever you need to learn, okay? But if you think that these results, whatever they are, are gonna change how I feel about you or me being your dad–

oh, never, ever.

So wsb agent wants to talk with me alone. Is this where you get rid of me to close the book on victor cassadine?

We don’t play those games anymore.

I’m sure. So if you don’t wanna silence me, what exactly do you want?

The bureau was very impressed with the way you handled yourself amid all the chaos in greenland, even if you went rogue in doing it.

Well, I tell you what, I would do the same thing all over again if it meant saving someone I love. Call it reckless if you want to.

We call it initiative.

Agent hursley, I’ve been around the block a few times. And I know that if you’re looking into me, you already did research into my background. So you know it wasn’t all pretty.

We know you were a damn good cop before– well, let’s just say you made some bad choices. But that was a long time ago, and the bottom line is, we can use a man like you.

I already have a job. I assume the wsb already knows that.

The bureau can’t be everywhere at all times. We need assets in the field– strictly off the books, of course, but ready and able to help when needed. So what do you think?

That is the sasha gilmore that I know and love. And I’m not the only one. Your one appearance on home & heart made quite the impression.

I bet.

Not in a bad way, sasha. People sympathized with you. They’ve been following you ever since. They will be rooting for you.

That’s nice to hear. If I can just find a way to look into that camera again and think about the people watching as my friends, as people who have problems, just like I do, then maybe I can help them as well as help myself.

Have I ever told you that you’re my hero? And there’s nobody else I would rather–

[Sneezes] [Groans] The last thing I want is to hold you back. If you really think you’re ready for this, I won’t stand in your way.

Thank you, gladys. [Groans] I just hope you don’t regret it later.

[Soft music]

Okay.

 

[Door shutting]

Okay, fine. I can admit that you may have made the review board more receptive to giving chase his job back, but chase also proved that he deserved to be reinstated.

I agree. Chase is a straight shooter. Exactly my point. How do you think he’s gonna react when he finds out you went behind his back to me? Better yet, let’s find out. [Scoffs] You’re bluffing.

Am I? As luck would have it, I have him on speed dial.

What?

[Phone rings] What, who’s calling you?

I don’t know. I don’t recognize the number.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Maybe it’s that anonymous sec source.

This is detective chase. How can I help you?

Detective chase, this is tracy quartermaine. Our paths crossed at michael and willow’s wedding, remember?

[Suspenseful music]


There was a part of me that enjoyed all the action in greenland. Who wouldn’t wanna kick ass and take names, especially when the name is cassadine?

So I can tell my superiors we can count on you?

I’m not saying that exactly, see, because there’s still a part of me that enjoys working at my nightclub, listening to live music, and making sure that my customers are okay, and letting someone else be the tough guy.

I’ll take that as a maybe. There’s no need to give me a definitive answer right now.

[Phone chiming]

I just texted you my private number. Think about it, and give me a call, because that nightclub of yours may seem a little tame after saving the planet.

Do not overplay your hand with me. The guests at my table trust me.

No doubt. But you’ll still have a lot of explaining to do. Don’t you think the better play is to double down on your faith in me?

Don’t listen to him. [Chuckles] What’s the matter, gladys? Guilty conscience?

I don’t know what pack of lies cody’s been feeding you, but the man was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. If you’re as smart as I think you are, you’ll get rid of him.

You’re half right, gladys, because I was thinking about getting rid of both of you.

Yes, of course I remember you, ms. Quartermaine.

Well, aren’t you sweet, detective chase?

So what can I do for ya?

My granddaughter told me that you just got reinstated. Congratulations.

Yeah, well, actually, I owe your granddaughter for standing up for me.

Ah, yes. Well, she’s nothing if not loyal. Since I’m back in town for a while, I’ve decided I wanna take a greater interest in the community. Shall we have lunch?

Lunch?

I’ll be in touch.

[Suspenseful music]

Your mom’s married to ned, right? So you speak quartermaine? What the hell was that about?

So what’s it gonna be? Are you gonna take the deal, or am I gonna take the lunch?

I didn’t mean to hurt my mother-in-law’s feelings, but I can’t depend on gladys forever. Sooner or later, I have to take charge of my own life, my own choices, my own mistakes.

Well, the biggest mistake would be trusting gladys more than you trust yourself. I’m not at all saying that gladys doesn’t care about you, but she seems to think of you as– as some sort of victim, someone who needs protecting.

And how do you think of me?

Besides the fact that you are completely gorgeous, I see you as strong, capable, someone who has grown leaps and bounds this past year and is ready to take on the world again. But before you step in front of those cameras, the only thing that really matters is if you feel the same way.

Is my little boy gonna be all right?

Well, considering he survived an adventure on the high seas and narrowly escaped an international incident, I’d say he’s doing all right. But he could really use one thing.

Well, please tell me.

His mom.

Hi, ace.

[Somber music]

Trina and taggert still up in your office?

Yes. Is everything okay?

Nothing I can’t handle.

[Elevator dinging]

Good.

Hey, why don’t I just take off?

No, no, stay. I told this to my dad, and I wanted you to both hear this from me so that we could stop asking questions and start living like a family again. And in order to do that, I wanna get a dna test.

[Suspenseful music]


How’s ace?

Your little brother? He’s doing great.

Oh, good.

Ready to go home.

Home, as in all of us going back to living at my grandmother’s place, assuming that’s still okay with you.

You know, normally I don’t like to speak for kevin, but this is one time I can say with real confidence that we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you, doctor.

Anytime.

After you, my dear.

Why do you think brook lynn’s grandmother wants to have lunch with me?

Well, if it was anyone else, I’d say she probably just wants to talk about you and her granddaughter. But it’s tracy quartermaine, so I bet she’s got another agenda.

You think I should stay away?

You could, or you could be a detective and go out to lunch.

Just remember, detective chase is only a phone call away.

That won’t be necessary. Just as always, you win. When do you want me to start working back at deception?

How do I feel about going back on the cameras at home & heart? Honestly, part of me wants to run and hide. But I won’t give in to that fear. Even if I fail–

which you won’T.

Thank you. But I won’t know until I try.

Wait, so you’re in?

I’m in.

[Both laugh]

Yes.

It’s his fault.

It’s her fault.

Consider yourselves warned, both of you. Now, cody, if you can play your cards tonight like you’ve played them with me, you can have a place at the table.

Thank you. You won’t regret it. [Clears throat] I haven’t forgotten about you, gladys. You, too, have a place at the table. Who knows? Maybe your luck will change.

[Soft music playing]

I wish that I had never put you in this position in the first place, but I’m so proud of you for wanting to know the truth.

Yeah, I second that.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

[Elevator dinging]

[Sighs] The doctor gave ace the thumbs-up that he’s healthy, so all of us are gonna take him home now to grandmother’S.

Okay. I’m glad your little brother is okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Miss this, don’t you? Damn right. I do. We should be running this place. You and me. Don’t worry my love. We will be as soon as we give my sweet brother EJ the boot. Speaking of the dark menace. He’s late. You should put that in your next report. Add something in there about Nicole. She’s Mia too. Yeah. Well, at least she has an excuse.

What’s that? She was in the hospital last night. Hi Kayla, it’s Nicole. I, I know we can’t do the DNA test for a few weeks, the, the paternity test, but I wanna make an appointment now because I need to find out who the father of my baby is as soon as possible.

Eric. Hi. Uh, I was just talking to Kayla and I don’t know if you heard, but No. I, I didn’t, are you okay? I, I’m fine, but forget about me. Eric, you, you, your face ej and I, we got into it last night. I heard, but I I didn’t think it was that bad. Said I’m fine. I was worried about you. Actually, I left you a message.

I was trying to warn you that EJ found out about us. Yeah. Thanks to Sloan, but I didn’t get the message until after EJ confronted me. Now we spent timing. More like bad judgment on your girlfriend’s part. Why the hell would Sloan tell EJ that you and I slept together? What the hell is she thinking?

No, don’t gimme that hassis crap. When you missed me. I missed you a lot. Like hell you have. If that were true, you’d have told me you were in town. I know what you’ve been doing, little brother. So close the door. We need to talk.

No answer. The first call went to voicemail, so I’m trying her again. Remember, Sloane Peterson is our prime suspect. Yeah, but I still wanna know what my sister can tell me about this calling guy. He’s part of me is afraid to hear it.

Did you wanna kiss that? No. I’ll just turn off the ringer.

See no more interruptions.

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

Shall we take this? Yes.

Let’s go to my room.

I don’t know Carolina, I don’t think I can do this. You know how important this is to. And babe, when this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings, no more crazy depression, cuz I’ll feel like I’ve got justice. For my mom and we will be so happy together.

I love you so, so much. You love me too, don’t you,

Chanel baby. Are you here?

Talia, where are you? Call me as soon as you get this. You need to talk. I’ll explain later. Decided to hold back, huh? Well, I figured. Get down to the station. You’re looking guilty here by the minute. Somehow wasn’t the right approach. Please let there be something that explains us all away.

And what is it that I’ve been doing? Oh, there it is. The same. Who me act you’ve been doing since we were five. You know it never bothered me until the time whenever you snuck out with the car and you cracked the taillight and let mom and dad believe that was me. I was grounded for a month. Yeah, sorry about that.

Oh, stop playing innocent Collin cuz I’m not buying it. Okay. No more games. Just advice leave now. The less you know, the better. Too late. As I said, I already know what you’ve been doing.

Sloan and Miss, she made a mistake. Hmm, that’s big of her. She also thought Youj already knew. Since you and I have been drugged and what happened between us wasn’t our fault that you would’ve already told EJ and that maybe he wouldn’t have made such a big deal about it. Well, clearly she doesn’t have a full appreciation of the complicated history you share.

She does, but I filled her in some. She also assumes that some of our complications are in the past. Frame in the past. Is everything okay between you and ej? Mm-hmm. Yeah, fine. We’re fine. And you? What about me? Well, you just said you were on the phone with Kayla and you seemed a little bit startled when I walked in.

Is everything okay?

EJ Damaris Pro. Perpetual tardiness is emblematic of his job performance at large. It demonstrates a failure of commitment to the company, a contempt for his coworkers, and a shocking lack of self-awareness. He’s c e o, not a king, Gabby. That’s great. Thank you. And I’ve got more, yeah, more of what? Hi, ej.

You’re late. It’s getting to be a habit. Not that I answered to you, or you’re so-called consultant, but I was tending to Nicole. Is she okay? She’s fine. Oh, good. I for one, I’m glad that this little episode hasn’t interfered with her work. Mother thought I was a hell. Is that supposed to mean. You know her work.

You hired her to evaluate my job performance. Surely that hasn’t slipped your mind now. No, it hasn’t. Right? How could it anyway, I was, um, a little concerned, given Nicole’s obvious bias against me, that she would be anything but fair in her reports to board. But turns out, I had nothing to worry about. You see, she was a total pro.

What are you talking about? Oh, you haven’t seen it? No. I happen to have a copy of Nicole’s hand work right here.

Dira shows upstanding attention to detail. Fosters positive cult Wish he’d stay in this position forever. That one is my favorite, and believe me when I say I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that becomes a reality. Nicole didn’t write one word of that crap. Nobody has her name on it, and it was sent from her email address to Shin and the rest of the DER board.

I don’t know how you did it, but you obviously pulled something while Nicole was at the hospital. Wait a minute. That wasn’t the only report you submitted to the board last night, was it?

Everything’s fine. It’s nothing really. Nicole, you, you just said you were on the phone with Kayla. You looked a little rattled. Come on. You know me. I get a little twinge and I immediately jump to the worst case scenario and you know, let the doctor checks me out, says I’m fine. But I of course insist on follow up tests.

It’s silly. Really? Yeah. So just a little twinge. Well, last night I, I got some cramps that were pretty painful, so I, I went to the hospital. You, you were at the hospital last night. I was there too. Kayla said she saw you. I ran into EJ on my way out. Oh, you, you didn’t say anything before. I must have blocked it out Anyway, he said, the two of you talked about what happened between us and.

Understands what happened and it didn’t mean anything and I should just let it go, which is not a problem for me. I mean, we can get past that. Right, right. There is one thing that’s a bit strange. What’s that? EJ mentioned he went to the hospital to get his hand checked. But obviously he was there to see you.

And why would he lie?

Chanel, I’m so sorry. I thought you were alone. Okay, mama. It’s okay. Oh, I didn’t mean to hold alone. Don’t panic. Just breathe. Ms. Price. Please don’t get the wrong idea. Oh, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. Chanon told me you were dating. Uh, you know, and the last thing anyone wants on a date is a third wheel, so I’ll just roll on out the way I came in.

No, no, no. This is your home. I’ll, I’ll go, but you don’t have to do that. Tell you, honey, please don’t leave on my account. I should really handle this missed call. Really, it’s fine. I’ll just talk to you later. Okay.

Should know, baby, I, I feel terrible and I, I wish I know that you had company. Well, next time I’ll just put one of Ape’s ties on the door. Well, I didn’t realize that things were moving so fast between you two. We were just. Hanging out and then it sort of happened. Oh, well in that case, huh? Maybe it’s a good thing that I interrupted.

What does that mean? Why don’t you let me talk to Talia? Give yourself a break. No, it has to be me. I know her better than anyone. Sure. Yeah. But you know, maybe in this case a little less, uh, closeness could be a good thing. Are you saying that I can’t be objective? I’m saying she’s your sister. Exactly. So I’ll know if something’s off.

Just like when she suddenly remembered that she didn’t come straight home from dinner at Chanel’s and she got a headache and took a walk around the lake a night before half the town got drugged. Tell me more about what happened at the motel. Ugh, you should have seen this Colin Firth. Dude, that’s shady.

Huh? He was evasive, uncooperative, and he wouldn’t even admit that he knew Talia. Even after I had two witnesses that swear they saw her leaving his room. All right, Talia, who still has no motive whatsoever. I know. I know. And even if she did, I just. I can’t figure out how this call-in guy even fits in. You know, if this joker won’t tell me what I need to know, then I’m gonna find out myself.

Meaning he can play dumb, he can stonewall, but he can’t stop me from investigating. I am gonna find out everything there is to know about him, starting with what kind of car he drives. I’m in his place. See if he’s in the system. I’m gonna go back to that nasty motel room and see who else is stopping by to see him.

How could I have not seen this sooner? Yeah, seriously, and not usually this low. I am sorry. Old habits. Look, you’ve put enough time and the effort in trying to make that little slut pay for what she did to our mom and to dad. And now it’s my turn. Your turn. This isn’t a game. What I mean is that you tried to get justice for our parents using the legal system and it didn’t work.

And that’s not an insult. All right? You’re brilliant at what you do, but this, this requires someone who’s willing to go to more extreme measures, and that’s someone in me.

Colin, have you considered how what you’re doing affects me? I’m being blamed for all of this. Of course you are. So you know that you’ve put me in the cops crosshairs. I’m sorry. It’s been inconvenient. Inconvenient. My life is a living hell. The DA and the police commissioner are breathing down my neck.

They’re out to get me. The only reason they haven’t been able to pan anything is they don’t have concrete evidence and they won’t, no. You know how far Paul Price will go to protect her daughter? Come on. It’s only a matter of time before she pays somebody. To find something to railroad me with. Yeah. But you are way too smart to let that happen.

Oh, so I should just use my brains and just have faith that it’s all gonna work out. You’re gonna thank me when this is done. The most powerful people in this town are out to destroy me and the other half. They hate my guts. God, I consumed my, my license, my practice. My freedom, Collin, I highly doubt. I’m gonna be thanking you.

Look, if you don’t like the way that I’m doing this, then gimme another suggestion cuz the only other way I see is walking away and I am not gonna do that. I’m not letting those little bitches get away with murder. Don’t you think you’ve done enough damage? You got Chanel’s Bakery closed down. You killed her dream.

That’s just the beginning. Why would you interrupting me Antalia be a good thing? I thought you liked her. I, I, I do very much. Okay. Well, if this is because you think I’m rushing into things after I promise to take things slow. No, no, no. It’s not that. Okay. Well, well, if this is about me being Talia’s boss, I told you I don’t have a policy against coworkers hooking up.

I, I know, I know. As long as it’s consensual. I know, baby. I know you do. Okay, then I’m lost. You know? Forget it, you know, forget what I said. No, I, I can’t. You’re not making any sense. That is because I’m so worried about the Sloan Peterson situation. I, I, I’m not thinking straight. Did something happen? I got another threatening message when I was down at the police station just now.

No. Yes, and I pushed Ray yet again to arrest as SL ass lawyer, but he kept going on and on about how they needed to consider all possible suspects. Okay. Well, What does this have to do with you being glad you interrupted? Wait, are you saying the police suspect? Talia?

I’m headed over to the white dove right now and I’m not gonna come back until I have something solid. Talia, what are you doing here? What? You called, didn’t you? So instead of playing phone tag, I figured I’d come see what you wanted. This time. Okay, then I’ll tell you.

I wanna know who Colin is and what the hell you’re doing with him.

Please tell me you did not submit those BOGUES evaluations to the board. Ogus aj, don’t tell me you can’t handle an honest assessment. There was nothing honest about it. The scathing report Gabby wrote about me was All Lies and Nicole’s report on Stephan was obviously doctored by the two of you to make him look like a rockstar.

I swear to God, if you sent one word of that rubbish to shin

aj, you gonna answer that?

EJ was protecting my privacy.

Okay, fine. You know, he didn’t want you to know that I was at the hospital. Its just when it comes to confiding in people about me, you’re not exactly at the top of his list. Yeah. Okay. I was just concerned, but I, I, I told you No, I know what you told me, but I also know you,

I can see the look in your eyes, Nicole.

It’s not nothing. I mean, you could talk to me about anything. You know that right? You can trust me. Yeah. Yeah. I know that. And I, I appreciate it. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just. It’s hard. I know it’s hard to keep a secret.

Hey, if you can just, just open up a little bit, you can talk to me. Maybe it’ll make it easier.

You promise

I promised Nicole.

These, these cramps, they’re, they’re not just cramps, then what are they?

Kayla thinks

that I’m in the early stages of menopause. Oh, okay. I mean, The way you were talking, it just, you made it sound more serious. No, no. It’s, it’s, it’s not serious. It’s, and it’s normal even though it’s, it’s early, like I said. Yeah. So, so what are the test for

clarity?

Because I don’t wanna be guessing what’s going on with my body. I wanna know for sure

Mr. Shin. Yes, I was just informed that you received the reports, but you must understand there’s a lot more going on here than please ignore everything you read about Steph. And the report on my brother was tampered with, uh, someone hacked into my evaluation. That is, that is, that is pure fiction. We both know how Gabby Hernandez is deeply biased and.

I am not a HR disaster waiting to happen, and the last thing I am is temperamental and those quotes about me being imperious are totally made up.

You want me to do what? Take anger management classes. I’ll show you anger management.

You boss it, use of offensive language. Put that in your report too, didn’t you? Sure did.

Ray didn’t want me to know any of this. He kept saying it was nothing. They suspected TA for a moment. But I, that’s it. I don’t understand. The police interviewed us twice. I guess there was some slight discrepancy, bat Talia story, but you cleared it all up. What discrepancy are you talking about? Well, I think it started with the, where she went, you know, after she had dinner here.

Something else about my keys or nothing of any consequence besides, she had no motive whatsoever to want to hurt us, and yet the police considered her a suspect with Sloan. The person who’s obviously behind all of this, just right in front of them. This is beyond ridiculous baby. I’m with you. But I think, you know, I think Ray, he just wanted to be thorough, not leave any stone unturned.

Okay. Well then he should have asked me about Talia. I spend more time with her than anyone else around here. I think. I know she was out to get us

getting Chanel’s Bakery shutdown was just the beginning for you. Nice way to gloss over a felony. You know, that’s the kind of thing they send people to prison for. Yeah, we’re lucky for me. My sister is a brilliant barrister. Besides, what’s the problem? Nobody got hurt. They just ate a few biscuits and made them PR around like they’re at Woodstock again.

Hmm. It all looked pretty fun to me. Yeah, well tried telling that to the police commissioner and the DA who ended up in the hospital. I, I read about that in that cheesy gossip column. Sounds like he snogged his lead detective first, but she is pretty hot, so maybe he thinks he’s worth it. This is all just a big joke to you, isn’t it?

You say nobody’s getting hurt, but people are getting hurt, Colin, including me. Yeah, but like I said, there is no way that they’re gonna be able to pin this on you. That’s not what I meant is this.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, bud. This is the first time since I got to this stupid town that I might actually have something. Good going. Not that I came here looking for it or even wanted it, but, but I’ve found it and I don’t want anything to mess it up. Are you talking about a guy? I like him. Okay.

He’s important to me. All right. I promise going forward that whatever I do will not affect him. Promise. Well, it’s too late for that because you know what? He ate one of your biscuits and got drugs and ended up poking up with his ex that I had the pleasure of walking in on.

I know you think what you’re doing is honoring mom and dad’s memory,

but the only thing you’re doing is you are ruining my life. It stops here, Colin. It’s over.

You, you wanna talk about? Claims his last name is Firth. Why Dove Motel room 1 0 6? I, I don’t, I don’t understand him. Neither do we. But Zander Cook and Chloe Lane both said that they saw you leaving his motel room, so I went there to talk to him. Wait, wait. You talked, I asked him some questions, which he took Great pleasure in refusing to answer.

So, uh, Are you gonna do the same or are you gonna tell me what’s going on? Was it you that they saw leaving Collins Motel room?

Yes.

I lied to you. Okay.

The night that everybody got high off of those biscuits, I didn’t have a headache. And, um, I didn’t go take a walk around the lake. I went to the motel and I went to go see Colin, Jennifer, uh, Talia. Stop. I, I need to repeat your right. No, you just let me explain please. Okay. I, I have to say this now. Okay. Uh, go ahead Colin.

He’s my ex-boyfriend from New York. The night that, um, I went. To have dinner with Chanel and her family. He texted me completely out of the blue, but he said that he was in town and that he wanted to see me. And yes, I know that we’re broken up and everything and I know that I said I was completely done, but.

I went to the motel and I slept with him.

Why didn’t you just say that in the first place? Because I shouldn’t be seen calling at all. Okay. He’s no good for me and I don’t like who I am when I’m around him. I heard his voice on the phone. I got weak and everything that I thought that I knew, it went completely out of the window. And what he wanted, I don’t know.

I just did. Okay. I mean, I knew you had a boyfriend in in New York, but I didn’t know you felt like this, but he made you feel like this. Why didn’t you say anything? God, what? Isn’t it obvious? This, this is humiliating to me, and I don’t know. I don’t know why God lied to you. Okay. When I saw those people in the hallway coming out of his room, I had just told him that I don’t wanna see his face ever again.

That I wasn’t done this time for good. Okay. So you could have been upset. I don’t, I don’t know. Listen, it’s okay. No, Evan, you heard enough Detective, have I Have I finally convinced you that I’m not a terrorist, that I’m a just apathetic loser who slept with her ex-boyfriend. Want me to provide more details for you?

Really dive into the death of my shame. Or do you believe me? Down. So this, this can all, you can just stop, please. Of course I believe you. I gotta go

now. No one understands what you are feeling more than I do. I felt that every single day since mom died. The sorrow, the grief, the rage. I’ve spent hours obsessing over how to make Paul and Chanel pay, how to make them suffer the way we suffered, but by some miracle. Colin, I want something more than revenge.

I found something. Beautiful that I wanna protect, and you are making that very, very hard. Last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you, but I just, but you need this. If you need it. I know I’ve been there, but it is a lonely place, Collin, I didn’t even realize how lonely it was until I found somebody who showed me that there was so much more to live for.

I want that for you too.

Moving on does not mean we forget them. We will never forget. But you should want more for yourself too.

Look at the police. Come looking for Megan. I’m gonna tell them it’s you. The truth. You got that?

Yes. This is EJ Damira for Mr. Shin. What the hell do you mean? He’s not available? I just spoke to him. Please let him know that I cold. Thank you. I can believe our work here is done. Are you hungry? My love. I was thinking about going to lunch to celebrate. Oh, I am ravenous, but um, not for lunch.

So just to be sure. Everything that EJ said at the hospital is true, right? I mean, everything’s cool. No more lingering issues between us. I sure hope not.

You know what? This, this is ej of course. Probably just it’s good to see him. I hope everything goes well with the test.

Ej Hi. Can you come to the office right away? We have a bit of a situation here. Um, sure is everything all right? You sound it’s fine. I’ll, I’ll be there soon.

Oh, mama. That’s awful. Sloane Peterson strikes her again. Okay, well we have to do something. Oh, baby, I’m trying. I insisted that wave get her down to the station for questioning. Mm-hmm. Of course she denied everything. She’s lying. Oh. Problem is we, we can’t prove it. Well, okay, so, so what can we do? Tell you what we don’t do?

Let Sloan get so much as a hint that the, the police are spectacular. Oh, knowing that lion crepe, she’ll find a way to incriminate the poor girl. I still can’t believe that Ray thought that Talia was behind all this. And then Jada suspecting her own sister. I know, baby. It is nuts. But you don’t need to worry.

You don’t need to worry. They got their eye on the prize. Uh, so anyway, uh, tell me about, you went, Talia, I assume you too. Were having a nice time before I bought you on Well, You know, I, I assumed after our date last night that that was the end of the romantic road. Oh, it didn’t go well. Well, it, it started off great, but then towards the end things got kind of awkward and then I, I just assumed that she wasn’t into me and then she showed up here today with flowers.

Oh dear. That’s beautiful. Yeah. And then we started talking about last night and why she seemed so uncomfortable, and it turns out that she doesn’t have much experience with, with, with girls, with anyone. A woman like her, that’s hard to believe. I know, but I, I guess there was one guy in New York and she fell pretty hard and, and they broke up.

Hmm. She got, yeah. Pretty emotional talking about it. I’m glad you and ta are getting closer. She has such a big heart. So the, the idea that she would hurt anyone. Let alone us. The cops have got to be barking up the wrong tree.

Figured you could use this. My sister was in so much pain overseeing that guy calling. I just go on and. How on with the questions? Well, we didn’t know who the guy was, but now that you do, I suspect that Talia has put your doubts to rest. She no longer suspect that she’s involved in any of this. Well, I’ll tell you one thing.

I hope she really meant it about leaving her ex. Cause everything about that guy scream bad news.

I, uh, I have some noose. Is everything all right? You’ve been through the ringer? Yeah. Well, I just came from seeing my sister. Again, but don’t worry. Okay. I have everything under control. I thought you were supposed to be with Chanel. Yeah, I was. But we got interrupted by our mom coming home. Look, bam, don’t be upset, okay?

Because things are starting to heat up between me and little Ms. Sweet bits. She’s really into me now.

Wait, Colin. What’s going on? I just thought I’d organize cuz my clothes were everywhere and then the room is so small. Wait, but didn’t you say you had news? Yeah. Doesn’t matter. Babe, that is so great about you and Chanel. You have no idea how happy you made me

girlfriend. What happened to the police? Oh, someone was yet again, sending Helen a threatening text and. They wanna blame it on me. Another text Sounds like whoever’s doing this is running out of ideas, which hopefully means this will be over soon. I hope so.

What the hell is this? This is not the report I wrote about Stephan. My guess is Gabby got into your computer while you were at the hospital. Oh my God. Before I left the house, I opened my computer and typed in my password and she saw it. That snake combine this glowing report on my brother with the Hatcher job she did on me.

And we have a true disaster on our hands. Yeah, well, they’re not gonna get away with it because I’m gonna rewrite that report and send it to the board. Then I’m gonna take my computer to it to prove that it was hacked. Nicole. What? I don’t, I don’t know. They have to be exposed. Ej, we have no other choice.

I know, I know. It’s just, I’m worried. About what? They are going to have two reports from you on their desk, one true and one a lie. How will they determine which one is real?

Liam: You just, uh– you just point me in the direction of my wife and I will disappear, so…

Steffy: No, liam, actually, wait, I– I have kelly’s–

Liam: No, no, no. I’ll– I’ll come back. Steffy, I can come back for it.

Steffy: It’s right here–

Finn: Did you remember the new shoelaces?

Steffy: Here, catch.

Liam: The purple ones with the matching– the– the glittery–

Steffy: Of course! As if kelly would let me forget. Are you kidding?

Liam: Well, according to several of the fashion magazines I publish, they’re all the rage, so…

Finn: Well, she’s gonna be a trendsetter just like her mom.

Liam: Yeah, she sure is.

Finn: Hey, so, liam, I, um– I know we’re gonna see you at the soccer game this weekend, but I was wondering, uh, how are you holding up? Well, steffy mentioned some things. And I don’t think it’s a big secret that you still have issues with hope and thomas working together.

Liam: [ Laughs ] Uh…

Thomas: So, the buyers wanna meet with us today?

Carter: Soon as you can get there.

Thomas: In san francisco?

Carter: I already talked to the pilot. He can file a flight plan as soon as I give the word.

Thomas: Sudden.

Carter: Yeah, I just got the request. I ran it by hope on my way to find you. And like I explained to her, they’re very excited and wanna see you both.

Hope: This could be huge for our collection.

Thomas: So, we need to leave, like, right now.

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Are you willing to go?

Thomas: Yeah, of course. But, uh, are you?

Hope: Yes. I think it would be a great way to show them our confidence in our comeback and– and show them how well we’ve been working together.

Carter: So, what do you say, thomas?

Thomas: You know how committed I am to this line. Let’s roll. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Liam: So, you really, truly think thomas has changed?

Finn: I do. A lot. Look, he’s– he’s taking therapy seriously. He’s focused on his work, being a better father. And there’s no question thomas is sincere, I– does it mean you need to stop being vigilant where hope is concerned? I– I can’t answer that.

Liam: I don’t know. Maybe you can. You spend time with him.

Finn: Well, at the house with family and not at work with hope.

Liam: Hmm. Yeah.

Steffy: You know where I stand on this.

Liam: You think that I’m too hard on thomas and I need to give him a break. Right?

Steffy: I think he is doing the work. And it’s not just talk.

Finn: Look, it’s– it’s his wife. He’s in love with her and he wants to protect her.

Liam: Absolutely. That’s it. That’s it.

Finn: That’s something I understand.

Liam: Thank you. And I just– I– here’s my thing. I just don’t wanna take thomas’s word for it when he says, “oh, it’s fine. You have nothing to worry about.” Because I’ve made that exact mistake before.

Finn: Uh, and it’s– it’s stressful. I mean, you’re– you’re on alert all the time.

Liam: Right. And I’m not– you know, I don’t wanna be, like, looking for problems where there aren’t any. But if I let my guard down and something does happen, he does snap or whatever, like, I’m never gonna forgive myself.

Steffy: Okay. Hold on. Hope doesn’t need protection from thomas.

Hope: This is about thomas

again?

Steffy: Hope,

you were clutching his hands.

You were gazing into his eyes.

Hope: Stop, you’re making

a bigger deal out of that

moment than it has to be.

I mean, we were excited

about the numbers.

What more do you want

me to say?

Steffy: I just need to know.

I need to be a hundred

percent certain that you have

no inappropriate feelings

towards my brother. Liam, thomas won’t do anything to interfere in your marriage.

Carter: Won’t be an overnight trip.

Thomas: Yeah, well, we’re too busy for that.

Carter: Right. We’re in the swing of production. You’re churning out designs. But actual face time with the buyers, it’s too important to pass up. You’ll fly up, have the meeting, be back in la in time to say goodnight to your kids.

Hope: Perfect.

Thomas: Yeah.

Carter: And donna, she’s gonna book a room at the hotel. She’s setting up catering. All you two have to do is show up and kill your presentation.

Thomas: Yeah. Once we figure out which looks to bring for the collection.

Carter: Katie’s sending over an updated media package.

Hope: I already have sales preparing a deck about our pre-order numbers.

Thomas: Sounds like we’re all set.

Carter: Guys, hope for the future is making an excellent turnaround. But this meeting with the buyers could be crucial for your success.

Thomas: Securing a strong presence with the international market is important.

[ Phone chimes ]

Hope: Especially for an innovative brand like ours appealing to a younger, more socially conscious clientele.

Carter: It’s the pilot. The flight plan is filed. Jet’s being fueled.

Hope: Okay. So, we just need to grab a few things here and then we’ll be on our way.

Carter: Good luck. We’ll debrief in the morning.

Thomas: Thanks for setting this up, carter.

Carter: It’s in your hands now. Bring it home.

Hope: Okay, so, what do we need to bring? I need my tablet. Uh, we need our designs. I think we should bring design number six and some fabric samples.

Thomas: Maybe we should bring an exclusive, something no one else has seen.

Hope: That’s smart. That’s smart. Let them have the first look. I think that could go a long way. Oh! This is exciting. I– I can’t wait.

Thomas: Neither can I. But what about liam? Can’t imagine he’s gonna be too thrilled about this.

Hope: Thrilled about what? What’s going on? No two bodies are the same.

Liam: Okay. So, obviously there’s something I should know about. What? What is it?

Hope: Um, well, carter was just here and I have to fly to san francisco for a meeting. Some of our most influential buyers are in town and they want to discuss our upcoming collection.

Liam: That’s great.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. So, it’s– it’s gonna be a quick trip, just there and back.

Liam: Okay. When?

Hope: Today. Actually, like, right now.

Liam: Oh, okay. Uh, I don’t– wait. I don’t– why? Like, there’s nothing going on with the kids and you and I don’t have any plans. Why would– why would I not be– ’cause thomas is going. Okay. Yeah.

Thomas: Liam, uh, hope and I are both the leaders of hope for the future and the buyer wants to see both of us.

Liam: So, it’s the buyer’s idea? Okay.

Thomas: Yes. Uh, you know what, I’m gonna leave you guys to talk about this. I have some sketches I need to grab. Okay. Right. [ Clears throat ] But I– liam, just so you know, I– you got nothing to worry about.

Finn: Go lock the door.

Steffy: But I don’t wanna let you go. And my employees should know not to barge in on the boss, so…

Finn: Mm-hmm?

Steffy: Yeah.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Steff, I just need to grab a few things.

[ Finn chuckles ]

Steffy: Except that one.

Finn: Yeah.

Thomas: You’re busy.

Steffy: Uh, try– trying to be.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. I won’t be here for very long. I just need to grab a couple sketches. The jet’s waiting.

Steffy: You’re doing that now?

Thomas: Yeah. Carter has all the details. And if you’re gonna be in here for a little bit longer, then maybe you should lock the door.

Steffy: We really should’ve learned our lesson when liam walked in on us earlier.

Thomas: Actually, liam is across the hall right now with hope, and he is not happy.

Steffy: Why? What happened?

Thomas: Carter didn’t tell you about the meeting?

Steffy: He texted me, but I was kind of busy.

Thomas: Okay. Um, well, um, hope and I have an impromptu meeting in san francisco today.

Steffy: You and hope are going together?

Thomas: Yes. And liam found out about it and he was as surprised as you are.

Finn: Hmm. I’ll bet.

Thomas: Yeah. I’m guessing by the look on his face when I left, he’s probably not wishing her a bon voyage.

Hope: We only just learned about this meeting a few minutes ago from carter.

Liam: All right. So, hope and thomas take on san francisco.

Hope: Just for the day. We just fly up, have the meeting, fly back. It’s not an overnight. Liam, I know how you feel about thomas. It’s just, this could really make or break our collection and it could generate a lot of buzz.

Liam: Yeah, no, no. I to– I get it. I totally get it. It’s just, it’S… you and thomas taking a trip together, just the two of you, after the time you already spend together. It’s– it’s a lot. But–

Hope: I know that we would normally have a longer conversation about this and I– I get your concerns.

Liam: Yeah. And you’ve heard those concerns ad nauseam. It is what it is.

Hope: Okay. But you understand why I have to go, right? Like, what it takes to sell a collection. I just– I don’t want you to be upset or to worry.

Liam: Hey, I’ll be waiting for you to get home tonight.

Hope: Thank you. Liam, I just– I want you to know that the way you support me and the way you look out for me, I– I don’t take that for granted. Okay? ‘Cause my commitment is to you and only you. I love you.

Liam: I love you, too. Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Steffy: This meeting could be a big game-changer. The couture line has a strong share with them. But hope for the future is just getting its foothold. If they wanna see more of hope and thomas, they need to go.

Finn: Mm, they did, right?

Steffy: Yeah. They’re on a plane right now.

Finn: Well, good. ‘Cause that means we might not get interrupted again.

Steffy: [ Laughs ] No. Oh, great. You’re back.

Liam: You know this door has a lock on it, right?

Finn: Yeah. We just keep getting sidetracked.

Liam: Gross. Forgot kelly’s soccer stuff.

Steffy: I’m assuming you heard about, uh, hope’s trip?

Liam: Last minute san francisco trip? Yeah.

Steffy: I just heard about it, too. You know thomas is going, right?

Liam: Oh, I know. I was with them right before they left.

Finn: You okay with that?

Liam: With my wife’s formerly obsessed lead designer and her taking a little trippy trip together?

Steffy: Liam.

Liam: Obviously, I’m not pleased with it. No.

Steffy: Well, it’s really good for the collection and for hope.

Liam: Yeah. No, yes, of course. And I’m– I’m so proud and supportive of everything hope has accomplished.

Steffy: And my brother’s a big part of that, too.

Liam: Why does everybody think that it’s thomas’s talent I’m doubting? His talent is not the problem. His personality is. And if any of his… issues happen to crop up again, given the right opportunity, like, say, cozy little business trip, we’re gonna have an issue.

Steffy: It’s a necessary trip.

Liam: It’s a necessary trip. I know. I’m just– yeah. Okay. Listen, do I wish hope was going with carter or, well, literally anybody else on the planet? Yes, I do. But like I told hope, I have absolute faith in her. And even though I don’t love how much time she’s spending with thomas, I just have to keep reminding myself that– that there is no– there’s no concern I have for thomas that trumps the faith I have in hope. And I’m incredibly lucky to have her as a wife because she’s honest and she’s genuine and she’s forthright and she loves me. So, there you have it.

Thomas: There you go.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

Hope: Katie put together a great package about the preview.

Thomas: Yeah? We should start with that and then get into the sales numbers.

Hope: Yeah. The sales team included some projections. I think we go over that and then you’re up.

Thomas: I’m up? No, I think, uh, the best person to talk about hope for the future is hope.

Hope: Yeah. Except the buyers want to see the man behind the design, so…

Pilot: Apologies for the interrupting, but we are gonna be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you. Oh, and there aren’t going to be any delays tonight? No fog? We’ll be able to get into los angeles in time this evening?

Pilot: Yes.

Hope: Thank you.

Pilot: You should buckle up. Prepare for takeoff.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: [ Clears throat ] So, I know this is a short flight, but I do think we should keep working. I know we don’t have a lot of time to prepare, but I want this presentation to go as smoothly as possible.

Thomas: Yeah. Um… I do wanna talk about this before we get going–

Hope: What?

Thomas: Since we weren’t able to on the way to–

Hope: What? What?

Thomas: Your conversation with liam, how did that go? Look, I– I don’t want our working together or– or– or– yeah, I don’t know, being together at all to cause any issue in your marriage.

Hope: I really do appreciate that, thomas. I do. And I– I believe you. I mean, it wasn’t too long ago that taking this trip with you, it– it might give me pause. But now, I mean, thomas, you have changed. And because of that, I mean, we– we wouldn’t be going to this meeting today. I mean, you helped revitalize hope for the future.

Thomas: I’m just trying to live up to your faith in me.

Hope: Oh, well, you’re kinda doing it every day right now, so…

Thomas: But what about liam?

Hope: Liam knows that I love him and I love our marriage. I love our family. I love our life together. And nothing and no one will ever come between that.

Thomas: I believe you. I know that. I mean, you’ve never been that kind of person. I– I– I saw your mother growing up and she– she made a lot of mistakes, right? She would be with one man, then go to another, and sometimes it wasn’t at the right time. Sometimes not with the right man. But you’re not like that. And you would never do that. Not you. Never you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Well, hello. I’m glad to see you here.

Victoria: You’re not surprised to see me back in genoa city?

Nikki: No. I saw nate last night at neil’s tribute, so I figured you were back, too. But he didn’t tell me why you had to cut your trip to la short.

Victoria: Uh, well, we accomplished our goal, so, uh, we decided to head on back.

Nikki: What happened to the idea of you extending your trip there for a working holiday?

Victoria: Our plans changed.

Audra: Oh, I’ll have my usual. Hey. You’re already back from la. Did you find nate and victoria hard at work?

Elena: They were hard at something, but it wasn’t work.

Audra: Ugh. I almost hate to ask.

Elena: You should have seen them. They were so casually intimate, even in a public restaurant. And their body language gave away everything that was going on between them.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Elena: At least nate had the decency not to deny what was going on. He didn’t even try to. He just admitted it flat out.

Audra: Elena, I am so sorry that you’re going through this. I’m not sure I could have been as strong or as brave as you. But what are you gonna do? What happens now?

Chelsea: So, you’ve noticed it, too?

Adam: It’s impossible not to. I mean, ever since we told connor about sally’s baby.

Chelsea: He’s been so moody and sullen. I’ve been trying to pull him out of it, but– I mean, I don’t understand. So, he’s okay having a big brother, but he’s not okay now having a younger sister?

Adam: Yeah. He and johnny were already solid as cousins, but they’ve really bonded as brothers. The only thing that I can imagine is the news about the baby was just one change too many.

Chelsea: Yeah.

[ Speaking inaudibly ] Adam, I know that look. Promise me you won’t say something negative.

Sally: You spent the night.

Nick: I mean, how could I leave? You pretty much demanded I activate my legendary spooning skills.

Sally: Well, you definitely have considerable talent in that area. Where are you off to now? Going home to see christian?

Nick: Yeah, I’m just gonna run home and change and make sure he gets off to school.

Sally: Do you have time to stay here and have breakfast in bed with me? It’s my treat.

Nick: Sounds amazing, but, uh…

Sally: But what?

Nick: I have some pressing matters I need to handle.

Sally: Something tells me I know exactly where you’re headed. You’re off to fight with your father, aren’t you?

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: Nick, can you please not go into battle with your father over me? Okay? I already know who victor is. All right? I know what he wants. He wants me gone. He’s made that perfectly clear.

Nick: That’s not his decision to make.

Sally: Well, I’m still here. Can I please ask you not to turn this into a big newman family war?

Nick: No war. Seriously. I just gotta run home. And then, uh, get to the office. I’ve got a pile of work to catch up on. What’s your day looking like?

Sally: Well, I am meeting up with chloe to go over some design ideas before we follow up with jill. I have been doing tons of research on some workflow office ergonomics experts, ’cause we really need to add someone to our team.

Nick: I like it. And speaking from experience, those clunky chairs, sitting in them all day can really mess up your back. I’m sure you’re gonna find the perfect person. I have absolute faith in you.

Sally: Nicely done, nick. You have diverted my attention. But I’m sorry, I’m not buying it. Are you sure you’re okay with putting what victor did behind us?

Nick: I’m good. I mean it. So, just because I’m not sticking around for breakfast, it doesn’t give you permission to skip it. Okay? I want you to call up some food and then promise me you’re gonna take your vitamins.

Sally: I promise.

Nick: That’s my girl. Maybe just one more.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Bye.

Sally: Bye. [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ] Well, you heard the man. Let’s get to work. Oh…

Adam: Let’s check back in about connor later.

Chelsea: Of course. And adam–

Adam: Yeah.

Chelsea: You got a lot of time before the baby’s born. Connor will come to terms with being a big brother. It’s just been years of endless change for him and I think he’s hit his limit. But once he meets his baby sister, he will adjust.

Adam: I really wanna believe that. Billy.

Billy: Good morning. Hi. Look at you.

Chelsea: Hi. What about me?

Billy: Well, you’re smiling and seeing you smile makes me very happy.

Chelsea: Oh, well, that’s a very sweet thing to say.

Billy: And, you know, adam was surprisingly civil, so maybe things are coming up roses. How’s everything with connor? Is that getting any better? Is he still giving you the silent treatment?

Chelsea: Well, he goes from being sullen and moody to quiet and withdrawn. I don’t know what to do. I try giving him space. I try telling him I’m here if he wants to talk. I just think I need to come up with the perfect combination of what to say and how to say it in order for him to open up to me. I mean, adam’s trying, too. Billy, nothing’s working.

Billy: Well, I know you know this, but part of it is just his age.

Chelsea: I just wanna fix this for him and I don’t know how to do it.

Billy: Well, here’s the thing about what you went through, okay? You showed him that it’s okay to ask for help when you need it and to talk about your feelings, okay? So, don’t blame yourself for connor’s normal, if painful reaction to finding out he’s having a new sibling. He’s a bright kid and he trusts you.

Chelsea: Yeah. He’s just already been through so much in his short life. You know, even navigating the stuff between adam and me.

Billy: Well, you know what, that’s– that’s always a difficult situation for parents and for kids. And he’s not even a teenager yet. Okay? Wait ’til he crashes that party. He’s gonna want even more distance from you. Hopefully he’s not starting early.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I just wanna hold him. Tell him everything’s gonna be okay. [ Sighs ] But he won’t let me.

Nikki: So, what’s going on? You’re not yourself today.

Victoria: Oh, no. I’m fine. I’m fine. It’s just the travel.

Nikki: Mm-hmm. But you got back last night. So, why didn’t you go with nate to neil’s tribute?

Victoria: Because devon didn’t invite me. I assume that he’s still angry that I went after chancellor-winters.

Nikki: But I don’t think that’s what’s really bothering you. Something else is going on and it’s not jet lag. Did something happen? Victoria?

Victoria: Okay. Fine. Yes, something did happen.

Nikki: Business or personal?

Victoria: It started off as business, but my relationship with nate became much more personal.

Sally: Okay. So, great news. I think I found some really great candidates for our ergonomics expert and I thought maybe we could meet with them before presenting a choice to jill.

Chloe: Okay, perfect. And I’ve connected with a marketing and social media web guru who can get our new business on the map.

Sally: Look at us, firing on all cylinders.

Chloe: Until jill kills our deal.

Sally: That’s the sunny optimism we need.

Chloe: Well, she’s done it before.

Sally: Not this time. Okay? I’m sure that jill is on our side.

[ Phone ringing ]

Chloe: Is that her? Is it jill?

Sally: Jill, hi. We were just about to call you. You are going to love our latest ideas for your chicago offices and we actually have some staffing suggestions that–

Chloe: Oh… sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Elena: It is over. I told nate he could go straight to hell.

Audra: Uh, wow. How are you doing?

Elena: Well, I was beyond furious when I left la, but now I guess I am just numb.

Audra: Do you think you might forgive nate for his transgression?

Elena: [ Chuckles ] No. There is no going back for us. I couldn’t even sleep in our bed last night.

Audra: Mm.

Elena: I packed a suitcase, left my key, and I walked away.

Audra: You know, when you love someone, um, as much as you seem to love nate, you don’t just get over it and forget all the pain.

Elena: Even after I left, I couldn’t sleep. I just kept thinking about why I put so much energy into that relationship. And then it finally occurred to me that it was because of what we did to devon. I guess I felt like… if my relationship with nate wasn’t real and lasting, then I hurt devon for nothing.

Audra: No, I’m sure it wasn’t just for nothing.

Elena: I put everything I had into that relationship. I bent over backwards making excuses for nate. I held on to hope that he would somehow revert back into the man that I fell in love with. But I am done trying to save nate from himself. And I know that none of this is my fault. It’s all on him. And I’ve been disappointed with him since the day that he started working at chancellor-winters. But now… I’m just disgusted. So, victoria can have him. In fact, they deserve each other.

Nikki: So, when you say something more than business, am I to assume that you–

Victoria: Yes, mom, you can assume.

Nikki: Well, I’m very surprised to hear that because I thought nate and elena were still together.

Victoria: They were. Until she surprised us both and showed up at the hotel in los angeles. Apparently, she sensed that something was going on, so nate confessed.

Nikki: So, this has been going on for a while?

Victoria: Yes. This mutual attraction that we share has been building for some time. And you’re right, we have acted on it before this trip to los angeles.

Nikki: You know, I see so much of your father in you. You’re taking the same tone he would have, almost daring anybody who questions his decisions.

Victoria: And dad would be right in that regard. This is my life. I know what I feel. And nate and I, we tried very hard to keep things professional, but we can’t deny this connection that we have. And I’m sorry I can’t control what people think about that.

Nikki: Okay. All right. That’s fine. You feel the way you feel. But exactly what is this undeniable connection the two of you share? And have you taken a moment to consider how that might impact the company?

Nick: Morning, guys.

Billy: Hey.

Nick: Morning, dad.

Victor: Hey, son.

Nick: Just can’t help yourself, can you?

Victor: What are you talking about?

Nick: You keep interfering in sally’s life, but this time you’ve gone too far.

Victor: Really?

Nick: Now you don’t just wanna banish her from the family or genoa city, now you wanna take her baby away from her.

Sally: Thanks, jill.

Chloe: What did she say? Was it as bad as it sounded? Have we been fired before we’ve even been hired?

Sally: So, even though jill is still very intrigued by our pitch, she wants to wait. Just chancellor-winters has decided not to take on any large scale commercial projects for the foreseeable future. So, good news is it’s not a no, just a not right now.

Chloe: Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t order those 5,000 new desk lamps.

[ Sally scoffs ] So, now what?

[ Scoffs ] What, are we supposed to just sit around and wait? Or are we supposed to look elsewhere?

Sally: I don’t know. We’ve been so focused on the potential of this massive job that we haven’t even tried to pursue any other clients. I just was really counting on catching the big fish and using it as bait to open countless more doors for us.

Chloe: And without it, we have no portfolio and no track record to tout.

Sally: Yeah, unfortunately, we are back at square one.

[ Chloe sighs ]

Adam: What’s going on?

Chloe: Um, okay, well, I guess I should get going. Um, you know, I have to actually pick up some snacks for miles’ class party anyway. Just, we’ll talk tomorrow. Okay? And I don’t want you to stress anymore over this, because we are going to come back stronger and better than ever. How’s that for phony optimism?

[ Adam clearing throat ]

Adam: How bad is it?

Sally: Well, it appears that I won’t have any income coming in anytime soon. The design job that chloe and I were hoping to score has been postponed indefinitely.

Adam: I am sorry to hear that. Man, that’s bad timing. You would’ve done great in the job.

Sally: Yeah, I have a feeling we absolutely would’ve killed it. But unfortunately, chloe and i put all of our eggs in one basket. But at least I still have some savings to rely on, so…

Adam: Okay. I’m not liking the sound of that. Once you dip into that, it’s gone forever. I– I have another idea.

Sally: Okay. Please tell me you’re not talking about the trust for our daughter, because there’s absolutely no way that I’m gonna accept that for myself.

Adam: No, no. No, you’re misunderstanding me completely. I’m not offering you cash. I’m offering you a job, working for me. Good checkup?

[ Nick sighs ]

Chelsea: I wonder what that’s about.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] It’s victor being victor, you know? Spreading joy and sunshine everywhere he goes. Whatever it is, I think it’s best that we stay far away from that.

Chelsea: Oh, I agree, wholeheartedly. The last thing I need is victor using any of his classic victor newman moves to try to handle any of my son’s issues.

Billy: That’s a very good point. You know what? I think I might have a potential solution of my own on that matter. What about a– a classic distraction for the young man?

Chelsea: Like what?

Billy: Why don’t we plan another get-together for johnny and connor? You know, our boys always have a good time together. They happen to cheer each other up, which is always good. And it could be a fantastic reminder for connor that having a sibling– not all that bad.

Chelsea: I love that idea. Anything to get connor out of this funk.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Hey!

Chloe: Hey.

Chelsea: Uh-oh. I know that look. What’s wrong?

Chloe: Oh, a big fat disappointing setback.

Chelsea: What happened?

Chloe: Um, jill’s not moving forward with our project. And we were on such a roll. We were this close to signing a deal.

Billy: I’m sorry to hear that. Do you, uh– do you want me to put in a good word with my mother?

Chloe: Um, would that work? Does she ever listen to you?

Billy: First time for everything.

Chloe: [ Laughs ] Thanks, but no. I’m just, you know, gonna try to look on the bright side. I mean, it’s really hard to do considering the circumstances. I mean, you just think you’re gonna take over the world and everything just goes, “pfffft.”

Chelsea: I know what you need. A girl’s night. It’s been too long.

Chloe: [ Laughs ] No, what we need is a girls’ two week vacation–

Chelsea: Ah.

Chloe: But, um, yeah, I’ll settle for a night out.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. If I don’t leave now, I’m gonna be late for therapy. I’m not letting you skate on a girl’s night. And as for you, I’ll call you later.

Billy: Sounds good.

Chelsea: Bye.

Chloe: Bye.

[ Footsteps receding ]

Chloe: Well, well, well. Look at you, mr. Responsibility. You’ve really stepped up.

Victor: So, that’s how sally spectra described our meeting? That I was ready to kidnap her child that hasn’t even been born yet? That’s a gross misinterpretation of what I intended.

Nick: We both know that’s not the case.

Victor: Do I have to remind you that we are the newmans? Do you know how many people over the past have tried to take advantage of us, and still do? That’s what I’m vigilant against.

Nick: She’s having a baby. That is your defense?

Victor: I will not be taken advantage of.

Nick: Okay, so, you’re trying to pay off the mother of your granddaughter. That is an overreaction. But thankfully, sally told you she is not for sale.

Victor: Huh? Has it occurred to you that by turning me down, she was simply angling for, you know, something more substantial? Upping the ante, as it were?

Nick: This is not a negotiation.

Victor: Everything is negotiable, son.

Nick: It’s not, dad. Not this. See, I know you would never try and take away a baby from its mother.

Victor: From the wrong mother, I damn well would.

Nick: No, you wouldn’T. It goes against everything that you stand for. This is one of your tests. But see, sally doesn’t know that. She thinks it’s a legitimate offer, but she turned you down. She passed your test. Leave her and the baby alone.

Sally: How am I supposed to work for you when you don’t even work anywhere yourself?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] I’m talking about mccall. It’s the most appealing offer on the table for me right now. And if it comes with the added benefit of providing you with gainful employment, what’s stopping you from taking me up on my offer?

Sally: Wait, hold on. An offer? So– so, you haven’t even accepted, but suddenly you would if it meant handing me a job?

Adam: Okay. Yeah. It wouldn’t all be for you. I’ve been leaning in this direction for quite a while now. I’ve been giving it some serious consideration ever since my dad mentioned it. I mean, I think it’s perfect, especially since I’ve been itching for a new challenge.

Sally: Don’t you think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself? Because knowing victor, the second you say you’re in, he’s probably gonna change his mind.

Adam: Okay, it’s– fair assessment, but not this time. And I know how companies like mccall work. There’s plenty of positions that you could fill. You could even be my coo again. Or how about a in-house design firm for any and all projects?

Sally: Adam–

Adam: Look, I know. Hey, how about this. You could name your own position. You could even bring chloe along.

Sally: Okay. Look, just– just slow down. Okay? This is way too much, too fast. I just need you to just take a second and think this through.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Okay? Because for one thing, victor would lose it if you brought me in. And if he really is the money behind the acquisition, there’s absolutely no way he’s gonna want me anywhere near his new company.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Or his sons. He just got done pushing me to take a job far away from genoa city.

Adam: Wait, wait. My father did what?

Sally: He offered to set me up anywhere in the world, but not here. As long as I left the baby with him. But he assured me that she was gonna be taken care of under his watchful eye. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Adam: That’s why victor called you and he wanted to see you. I knew I should’ve gone with you.

Sally: Trust me, I handled it just fine on my own.

Adam: I do trust you. It’s him that I have a problem with.

Sally: Okay. Just please do me a favor, okay? Don’t go fanning the flames by confronting victor. The last thing that we need right now is to wave a red flag in front of the bull. Okay? I just had to talk nick out of doing the exact same thing.

Adam: Oh, and he listened? I’m surprised.

Sally: Yeah, me, too. But I wouldn’t have had to talk nick off the walls if you hadn’t tipped him off to victor’s summons.

Adam: Oh, come on. Give me a little credit for how I handled things with my brother. We actually found some common ground. Protecting you and the baby is at the top of both our priority lists.

Sally: I appreciate the impulse, but not the action. Look, I faced stuff like this my entire life, okay? And I’m not gonna pretend like it still doesn’t sting, but I don’t need protection from it.

Adam: Well, you shouldn’t have to. You should be resting right now and getting ready to have–

Sally: I’m not a damsel in distress, okay? You don’t have to save me. I’ve always fought my own battles.

Adam: Right. But now you’re not just fighting for yourself.

Audra: I hate seeing you like this.

Elena: Well, I appreciate your support. And I have a lot of big decisions to make. But I guess I should start heading to work.

Audra: Uh, and which job is that? Just asking.

Elena: The hospital. I have to make up a shift that I traded so that I could go to la. And I know why you asked. And no, I don’t know what’s gonna happen with my podcast at newman yet.

Audra: I mean, I can’t imagine it’ll be easy working for a company run by nate and victoria.

Elena: Yeah, you think?

Audra: Look, but then again, I don’t think you should turn your back on something you enjoy, especially when you’re so good at it. You should walk in there with your head held high and knock ’em dead. Yeah. Maybe follow up on that interview with J.T. Try and convince him to– to come in person. That would be a real slap in the face to victoria.

Victoria: Mom, please don’t be so worried. I am still on top of my game and nate is as well. I mean, how could the business suffer? I– I’m not gonna let anything interfere with newman continuing to flourish.

Nikki: You are entering into a personal relationship with a man who is fully ensconced in our business. I just worry about you being involved in something like that.

Victoria: Involved. Involved in what? Nate is a brilliant– and he’s– he’s a charming man.

Nikki: I’m not denying that. I’m just saying it sounds like your relationship is getting off on a bad footing.

Victoria: Mom, are you worried that I’m gonna get hurt? Don’t worry. I assure you, I’m fine.

Nikki: Okay, that’s fine. I just hope those don’t become famous last words.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Nick, what’s wrong?

Nick: Oh, dad, uh, you know, he tried to dust off one of his old shady moves from the victor newman playbook.

Nikki: What has he done?

Nick: Tried to pay off sally.

[ Chuckles dryly ] He has completely ignored all of my warnings to steer clear of her.

Nikki: [ Exhales ] And I was just reminding your sister how your father plays by his own rules and doesn’t give a damn how it affects anybody else.

Victoria: Uh, yeah. And of course, I was shocked by those revelations.

Nikki: Okay. If you two will excuse me, I will give you some privacy so you can complain about your parents. Nicholas, can you come see me later?

Nick: Of course, mom.

[ Footsteps receding ]

[ Door shutting ] What’d I just walk in on?

Victoria: Just so you know, you don’t have to protect my privacy in regards to nate anymore.

Nick: Mom knows?

Victoria: Not just mom. Elena.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Elena knows?

Victoria: I’m not sure what happened, but I get the feeling from nate that things are probably over between them now.

Nick: Well, you say it like that, like it’s no big deal. How is that? Is it because you got what you wanted and nothing else matters? I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Sally: I get it. I’m fighting for two. But I still don’t need your help, adam, even if I’m going up against your father.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Okay. I understand the instinct. I will try not to step in where I am not welcome.

Sally: Thank you. I appreciate you restraining yourself.

Adam: But that– that’s not gonna stop me from trying to lure you to mccall. I would still like to work with you. I think that you would be happy with this position. I can guarantee good pay and exceptional maternity leave. Not to mention onsite daycare, maybe.

Sally: Guarantee, huh?

Adam: Mm-hmm. And a boss who fully respects you, and your brilliant ideas.

Sally: Stop trying to fix my problems.

Adam: I’m not. Mccall unlimited is a wreck and it’s gonna take a lot of help to get it back on track. And the only way for me to do that is to assemble the tightest, strongest team possible. You are what I’m looking for, sally. So, my offer stands.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: What makes you think that I’m stepping up? Why would you say that?

Chloe: It’s obvious how strong the bond between you and chelsea has become. Not only from what she’s told me, but from what I’ve witnessed firsthand. I mean, there’s definitely something going on here.

[ Billy clears throat ]

Billy: Let me just be perfectly clear. Okay? I genuinely care about chelsea. The feelings that I have, they’re not out of obligation and I’m not trying to play hero. So, I appreciate it, but I don’t need a pat on the back for that.

Chloe: I know that. ‘Cause I know you. You can change and adapt to this situation at hand. You changed a lot after delia died. And you’ve changed even more because of chelsea. She really needs someone, someone that she can count on, especially now. And as shocking as it is, you might be the one.

Victor: Well, you’re gonna have to wait for the press release to find out about the details. All right.

Adam: Dad?

Victor: Hello, son.

Adam: I think we have some unfinished business to discuss.

Victor: Yeah, I guess we do. So, um, my newly acquired company needs a new ceo.

Adam: And I am just the man for the job,

Victor: Ah.

Adam: But only on my terms.

Victor: Oh, I see. Huh. Let’s hear them.

Adam: I will accept the ceo position only if you agree to back off. Now, I know you have vast knowledge and experience, and I know you can be very valuable with helping me to achieve my goals. So, I will consult with you as needed, but only when it comes to the company. My daughter is off limits. Sally is off limits. That means there will be no offering her bribes, no browbeating her, and there will be no attempts to take her baby away from her.

[ Victor chuckles ]

Victor: So, sally spectra came running to both my sons in an attempt to turn them against their father, right?

Adam: You don’t know sally at all.

Victor: Mm.

Adam: I know this was one of your tests, and she didn’t take your offer, so she clearly passed. Now leave sally alone.

Victor: Your brother said the same thing, by the way.

Adam: I have stated my terms. Do you agree or not?

Victor: You know, son… I’m not someone who has terms dictated to him. But since you’re my son, I shall accept them, and I shall hang around until you need my advice. Because trust me, the time will come when you will need my advice. Meanwhile…

Adam: I believe we have a deal.

Audra: You know, getting J.T. To do your podcast would be the perfect move. I mean, that is if you want some sweet revenge on victoria.

Elena: Hmm. Certainly something to think about.

Audra: Of course, uh, you need some time to regroup and reassess after all you’ve been through.

Elena: You should take precautions, too. If I were you, I would watch my back. Nate has no loyalties and he seems to think he can do no wrong. So, I wouldn’t sleep on his charming demeanor.

Audra: Don’t worry. I won’T.

Elena: Good luck.

[ Door opening, shutting ]

Nick: How can you not be a little affected breaking up a happy couple like nate and elena?

Victoria: Oh, god. What makes you so sure that they were all that happy in the first place?

Nick: It’s not the point.

Victoria: Fine, you’re right. I take no pleasure in elena’s pain.

Nick: Then why’d you do it? I warned you, going on this trip with nate was a mistake. You must have known how risky it was gonna be, but it’s almost like you got exactly what you wanted.

Victoria: You know…

[ Laughs ] I’m really not up for a lecture from you right now. Besides, think of how many times you told me to stay out of your relationship with sally. This is my life. It’s my decision. So, back off. Okay?

Nick: Sure. But you’re forgetting one important difference between the two situations.

Victoria: And what is that?

Nick: Well, sally, thanks to you, is no longer a part of newman enterprises. Nate, on the other hand, also thanks to you, is a very big part of it. Vic, I’m the coo of this company. That makes it my business. I trust the guy even less than I did before. If he’s not gonna be loyal to the woman he lives with or to his own family, what makes you think he’s gonna be loyal to you or to this company?

Victor: Well, son, now that we’ve decided that you will be the new ceo of my newly acquired company, let me ask you, how do you intend to proceed at mccall?

Adam: Well, that’s not really your business, is it? I have everything well in hand, including the announcement of my new position. I wrote it last night, so it’ll be out later today.

Victor: I’ll be damned. Really?

Adam: And I’m glad that you are exhibiting such great faith in me, because I’ve already made another major decision. I’ve offered sally a job of her choosing.

Victor: Huh? You think you should do that?

Adam: Well, as we agreed, I will not be dictated to, and this is non-negotiable. I will not allow you to override me on this. I expect you to stand back and let me staff up this company as I see fit.

Victor: But why her?

Adam: Doesn’t matter. Sally comes to work for mccall or you can find yourself another ceo.
