THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Tense music]

Go get her.

Hey, not so fast.

[Grunts]

 

[Groaning]

[Yells]

[Groans]

Spencer. Spencer, spencer, spencer. You have to wake up. You have to wake up. It’s time– it’s time for us to go. Come on, please.

[Sighs]

[Grunts]

That all you got?

I need an ambulance to the– to the gatehouse of 66 harbor view road. My name is michael corinthos, and my wife, willow corinthos, she passed out; she’s unconscious. She has, uh, stage iv leukemia. Yes, yes. She’s breathing. Just please get here as soon as you can.

Come on, willow. Stay with me. Stay with me.

Dr. Ashford, why aren’t you at michael and willow’s wedding? I thought you and molly would be dancing the night away.

Yeah, that was the plan, but the reception never happened. Then I got paged to cover for another resident who called in sick.

The reception never happened? Is willow ok?

Willow’s fine, thank god. The mother-in-law… not so much.

Can I get you something else?

Oh, uh, just the check.

Something wrong with the pie?

No, I– I just thought being here would bring me more comfort or some comfort. You know, my great-aunt ruby used to own this place, and she was a strong woman, a survivor. She really knew how to beat the odds. And you guys still use her pie recipe.

Wow. I can wrap that up for you.

That’s ok. Turns out, I’m not in the mood for pie, so I will just take the check.

Ok. Thanks.

Mm-hmm.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Sighs] Something wrong?

[Device beeps]

I’m sorry. Your card has been declined.

Robert, it’s felicia. Andre brought me up to speed about victor possibly having a biological weapon. Apparently, the bureau has suspected that he and his brother have developed one. You would be wise to be concerned about what the bureau will do next. I know I am. Call me back, please.

[Tense music]

Where have you taken baldwin?

He’s being debriefed. The bureau appreciates his willingness to be so forthcoming about the activities of victor cassadine.

[Scoffs] Baldwin doesn’t have all the facts. Neither will the bureau, unless I talk to them. You got to let me out of here.

[Chuckles] Where was all this info before baldwin started talking? Now… sit down and do what you’ve been doing best: Keeping your mouth shut.

 

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Grunts]

His heart rate is falling rapidly.

Yes, this pathogen is vicious, isn’t it? Valentin, you may want to reconsider your silence. Your suffering is in vain. We will find your companions. It’s a small island. I can’t guarantee what condition they’ll be in when they’re brought to me. My guards don’t take trespassing lightly.

I told you I came alone!

Is this misplaced loyalty really worth it? The pathogen has begun its work. You can already feel it ravaging your body. The virus doesn’t care about you, doesn’t care you’re a father. You’re merely its host. And it’s just getting started.

 

 

[Dramatic music]


Maybe the chip’s being weird. Ok. Try this one.

[Upbeat music playing]

[Device beeps]

Sorry.

What? What the hell? Are you–are you sure your card reader’s working?

It hasn’t happened all night. Maybe you should call your bank.

That’s ridiculous. All I had was a piece of pie and a cup of coffee. Uh, maybe I have some cash. Let me check.

I’ve got it.

[Tense music]

They came to the quartermaines’ to get carly?

Fortunately, the wedding was over. Michael and willow are officially husband and wife.

Still, I don’t understand the urgency. Didn’t anyone explain to those sec agents what was going on?

Molly tried pulling one of them away to help explain the situation, but they didn’t care. Then I was paged to come in and cover, so we had to leave.

Hmm. How much can one family endure?

I know. The last thing michael and willow need is… another crisis. Still, they handled it well.

Well, I’m sure it helped that they are actually legally married.

[Both chuckle]

You know, you can see how much it meant to both of them. They were so happy. You know, despite the treatments and the disease, I swear, willow looked radiant.

I believe that. Though I don’t know where she finds the strength, after everything she’s been through and just giving birth and having two small kids. But then again, I guess that’s reason enough to keep fighting, isn’t it? Kids have a funny way of… making you pull it all together, keep you in the present, especially when you’re with them.

[Dramatic music]

Willow’s been so brave. And her strength comes from her family.

Yeah, this time with them has–it’s– it’s meant everything to her.

Maybe it takes having kids realize that. I never would have imagined that I would take quality time with a toddler over a spa retreat any day of the week.

[Chuckles] I can actually see that with willow. When she’s with wiley and amelia, it’s like… nothing else matters. She’s their mom, not–

a woman with stage iv cancer.

 

[Tense music]

Michael, I’m here. Oh, my god, willow.

Look, look, the kids are upstairs sleeping, ok? I–

I saw the ambulance from the house. What happened?

I don’t–I don’t know. We were talking about–about sonny. I was worked up about something, and she fainted.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. It was too much. Wait, is this my fault?

What’s wrong? No dial tone?

You had it disconnected?

Why don’t you have a seat, da scorpio? It might be a while until my superiors get here.

We’re wasting time, hursley.

I can’t trust a word you say, not after everything you’ve been keeping from the bureau, your former colleagues.

Look, this is so stupid. I’m worried about the end of mankind, and you’re worried about whether you’re in or out of the loop. Just let me out of here.

I said have a seat, scorpio.

You think I’m gonna let you keep me in here?

Let you?

[Chuckles]

I say something funny?

[Heart monitor beeping]

Valentin’s vital signs are too low. I’m going to administer the antidote.

Wait.

Your haste has necessitated me skipping important steps and protocols. I’ve gone directly to testing the antidote on humans, and I can’t do that if the human is dead.

Not yet.

Do you want to know if the antidote is viable? That is why you kidnapped me, is it not? If you’re going to ignore my expertise, let me go back to port charles, where I’m really needed, where I can actually save a life.

What is the point of testing the antidote mere moments into the infection? It’s hardly practical, is it? As a scientist, don’t you want to know how effective the antidote remains in the later stages?

Holding off administering the antidote is putting your son’s life in jeopardy. You claim this is for science, but something tells me it’s not the efficacy of the protocol you’re testing. More like valentin’s endurance for pain.

Maybe it’s both. Valentin is made of strong stuff. He knows he can end this at any moment.  All he has to do is talk!

 

[Both grunting]

Is he breathing?

[Dramatic music]

Curtis.

[Bottle shatters]

[Both grunting]

[Panting]

Let me go.

What’s going on?

Let me go.

I found her trying to get in the back entrance. The boss wants to put her with the other prisoners.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

The nephew and his girlfriend are on the ship with the baby. The swiss doctor’s the only one here, and she’s with the boss. I’ll clarify what he wants to do with her.

No, I can do that.

That’s against protocol.

Hey, I’m just following orders.

Whose order?

Ow, ow, ah!


if you’re coming with us, we need to go now.

I am. I am. Um, look, there–there’s bottles in the refrigerator. There’s a bottle warmer on the counter.

We can handle it.

I know the routine.

Ok.

[Dramatic music]

She’s gonna make it, right?

Course she is.

I got it. I got it, ok?

[Upbeat music playing]

Here’s a $20.

I’ll wrap that slice up for you. You can take it to go.

[Sighs]

Those card readers, they glitch all the time.

How was the wedding?

It was beautiful. And I know everybody says that about every wedding, but michael and willow’s wedding, truly beautiful.

Yeah.

I mean, they had the ceremony in the quartermaine living room, where they got married before.

You know, that first wedding put michael in a better position so he could fight nelle for custody. And it’s kind of ironic, in retrospect, that of all people, nelle gets credit for michael and willow coming together. That’s two blessings that nelle’s responsible for… the other being wiley.

Of course, in the negative column, nelle did try to murder michael. And then she used willow’s dead infant to make michael believe that wiley was dead.

[Dramatic music]

Are you enjoying this?

No, I’m just realizing that nelle didn’t even know that she used her dead nephew as a prop. And I point this out because you have a tendency to sentimentalize nelle. And I just think it’s fair to remind you that nelle was really a horrible person. Oh, but back to the wedding. It was beautiful. It was wonderful. I mean, michael and willow stood there, and they promised to love and honor each other as long as they both shall live. So now we pray, right? We pray that drew finds dr. Obrecht before the sec finds drew.

Plenty more where that came from.

[Laughs] Attacking a wsb agent wasn’t wise. You just blew any shot of getting anyone to listen to you.

If the bureau believes just a portion of baldwin’s story about a biological agent, they’re gonna bomb that island into the stone age. Standard operating procedure. But what they don’t know is that I’ve already got a team in place, waiting to take victor out. I just– I need a bit more time.

That’s not my problem, not my call.

Call the director. Tell him it’s me.

[Knock at door]

Oh, uh, I was looking for my friend anna devane. Isn’t this her room?

Felicia!

Robert?

Felicia, call frisco!

[Groans]

Hey, hey, what’s going on?

[Exhales heavily]

That was quick thinking.

Thanks. Get this off me, please.

Absolutely.

Ok.

There we go.

[Grunts]

Ugh.

Ok.

All right. Ok, what’s next?

Well, we don’t have much time before victor’s people, uh, figure out what’s going on. I got to stash this guy…

ok.

Before somebody stumbles on him, ok?

All right.

[Grunts]

What the hell? What is this place?

Victor’s playground.

[Groans]

We must stop this. Let me administer the antidote now.

Try it, and it’ll be the last thing you do. Valentin. Valentin. We’re going to find your companions sooner or later. You must realize this time you’re buying for them comes at a terrible cost. Are you really willing to pay with your life, to leave charlotte fatherless? Yes, I’ll–I’l l try to stand infor you as best as I can. But I think she would prefer her papa.

No. They are–

yes, yes, they are–

they are–they are where?

Where?

Spencer, spencer, please, please wake up. Wake up so we can go. Come on, please.

Trina, the guards are tied up, ok? We need to get out of here. Chances are, they heard the noise and they’ll be here any minute.

Ok. Ok. Help me. Help me carry him.

There’s no time for that. We got to go.

I won’t leave him. I won’T.

Trina, trina, I will come back and get spencer. I promise.

No! Spencer, please. Come on, baby. Please wake up.


where are they? Who was with you?

It’s burning. It’s burning.

Focus! Where are they? Who are they?

He’s delirious and incoherent. What use is he to you like this? This has gone too far, victor. Let me give him the antidote.

 

What are you trying to save? You can’t stop it. It’s burning. It’s burning.

Damn him!

That is your dilemma, isn’t it? You want to damn him, but he’s still your son. I saw how affected you were when you thought he was dead.

That was before his betrayal, before his disloyalty.

Let me save him before it’s too late.

My son’s intransigence will cost him his life.

Then he is his father’s son. He’ll die because his own father was too vindictive and stubborn to save his life.

 

We’re done here. Come on.

[Grunts]

Spencer, spencer. Just please open your eyes.

Ok, damn. Slide over. Let me help, ok? Come on.

[Groans]

Wait, wait. Spencer. You ok?

Yeah. Hi.

Hi.

Hey. You’re ok. What happened?

Look, we’ll do the play-by-play later. We got to find your little brother and get you guys out of here now. Can you stand up?

Yeah, I think so.

Ok, come on.

[Grunts]

All right. You good?

Yeah. Yeah, I have to be, for ace.

Ok, ace–ace is one of the staterooms, but he’s with some creepy nurse right now.

That’s all right. We’ll get him.

Thank you.

Let’s go.

What are you doing?

Michael, I know you want to go in, to be there to encourage her, to hold her hand, but you can’T. We’ve got this.

Tj, just let me by.

You want me to waste precious time standing here arguing with you? Let me do my job. We’ll bring you in when we can.

Don’t you let her–

look at me. Look at me. We’ve got this. I promise.

Well, wiley and amelia are fast asleep.

Small favors.

Some wedding night, huh? Oh, poor willow and michael.

[Sighs] In my experience, wedding nights are way overrated. Did I ever tell you about mine with your grandfather?

Let’s just pretend you did.

So there I was, the blushing bride with the impressive lord ashton, or so I thought at the time. And I come out of the bathroom, and I’m expecting puccini on the record player and rose petals on the bed. And instead, I have my husband out cold, drunk as a skunk.

Well, no foreshadowing there, huh?

Hopefully, your wedding night with chase will be much more successful.

What? Where did that come from? Chase and I aren’t even dating.

Oh, give it time. After what you did for him– actually, what I did for him– the least he can do is make an honest woman out of you.

I’m super grateful for you stepping in with the ccrb, ok? But chase already has his badge back, so why do you still think you can hold this over my head?

What about the sec?

Sonny didn’t tell you that sec agents hauled me out of michael and willow’s wedding?

Yeah, he mentioned it.

Yeah. Well, it turns out that they were more interested in drew than they are in me. And when I couldn’t tell them where drew was, they threatened to hold me overnight. But fortunately, drew’s name turned up on a flight manifest from san diego to hawaii.

How did you manage that?

[Soft music playing]

If sonny didn’t tell you, I don’t really want to get into it, ok? The problem is, when the sec realizes that drew’s not in hawaii, they’re gonna resume their search. And if they find drew before he finds liesl? Hopefully, drew has a big enough lead, but that’s all we can do right now is hope. But anyway, back to the wedding.

No, it’s ok. I’ve heard enough about the wedding.

Willow’s happy, very happy.

Hey. So sorry I’m late. Hi, carly.

Mm.

How was the wedding?

Why, that seems to be everybody’s favorite topic of conversation. It was beautiful. Avery did a great job.

[Phone ringing] And it was, um, a lovely evening… for everyone who was invited. Tell the waitress to keep the change and the pie.

[Dramatic music]

What did you do to carly now?

Hey, michael. What’s going on?

Willow collapsed. We’re here at gh.

I’ll be right there.

Laura, we should– we should keep moving.

The guard said that liesl was here with victor. He probably wants her for her medical knowledge, right? I mean, why else would she be here?

We got to try and figure it out later. We got to find valentin, ok? We still need to find him.

What is this?

What’s what?

Look, it’s written in german.

I wonder what it says.

If you require assistance with that, I’m sure dr. Obrecht will be more than happy to translate.


I beg your pardon? What do you mean, hold over your head?

You already know. When do you plan to cash in, huh?

You’re just like your father, always thinking in terms of money and exchange, like we’re all little stocks that go up and down.

Oh, so you were just happy to help chase. You just did it out of the goodness of your heart.

Well, maybe it occurred to me that it might be handy to have a police officer in my debt.

Chase owes you nothing. Do you hear me? It was all me. I’m the only one who owes you.

I just want my family to be happy and healthy. I didn’t do it for chase. I did it for you and for what I want out of our relationship.

[Dramatic music]

Brook lynn, where’s my mommy?

 

[Heart monitor beeping]

Start a second line and run it wide open. Let’s got a cbc, cmp, and dic panel.

I can’t believe I just saw her walk down the aisle. She looked so happy.

She wanted that wedding more than anything. Might’ve been more than she can take.

It’s like my whole frame of reference shifted. What I’d refused to see before was suddenly standing right in front of me.

All of that time, I’d been falling in love with you.

And since then…

[Chuckles] That love has only grown. I’m fulfilled in ways I never thought possible because of you and our kids.

Problem is, kelly’s doesn’t serve martinis, and I could really use a martini right about now.

Why don’t you try a hot chocolate?

What? Good grief. Coffee, black, please.

Uh, you know, I’m just gonna have a decaf latte. Thank you so much.

[Soft music playing] Thank you for meeting me.

Yeah, of course. You sounded… concerned and–and worried. What’s going on with you and carly? You didn’t crash that wedding, did you?

No, I didn’t crash the wedding, but someone did. It seems like when the government’s money is on the line, the sec bureaucrats act with lightning speed.

The sec showed up at the wedding? Oh, no.

Oh, yes.

Well, that’s terrible for willow, but it’S… more or less what you wanted, right?

No, it’s not what I want– I didn’t want to ruin willow’s wedding. And I didn’t know they were gonna freeze all of carly’s assets.

Oh, ouch. Oh, you better hope she doesn’t find out it was you who snitched.

Well, I–

[Sighs] I spoke to martin, and he assured me that the sec won’t trace the tip back to me.

Great. So then you’re in the clear. Forget the coffee. Let’s go get some champagne.

No, you don’t understand. Carly isn’t the one– the only one facing consequences. Drew could be facing charges too.

Well, nina, I mean, you knew that would happen when you turned them in, right?

I didn’t know that drew would be out there somewhere trying to save my daughter’s life.

Mr. Cain, as I live and breathe. I had a hunch laura might be part of my son’s entourage, but your presence is a real bonus. This is kind of a– a full-circle moment, isn’t it, seeing as I had hoped you would provide me with this location, but you failed.

Mm. No, actually, you failed. You failed to access my memory.

“Po-tay-to,” “po-tah-to.” It’s still a pity, all those years you wasted. Pointless. I mean, for you, that is, because, well, here I am. No. Oh!

[Laughs] Oh, dear, still trying to take on the world single-handedly, are we, mr. Cain? When will you ever learn? Hmm. Oh, and I have missed this, laura, your barging in where you’re not wanted, as always. This is a bit of a full-circle moment, too, you here with me… at the very end.

What do you mean, the very end?

[Tense music]

You want me to gag you too?

Felicia, call frisco! It’s life and death! The bureau knows about the virus. Call off the emergency protocol. And–and the others, they’re on the island–

quiet! You want me to punch you again?

 

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Breathing shallowly]

[Door clicks open]

Anna? Is that you?

No, my son. Someone so much more important to you.


[Dramatic music]

Ok, you guys. Remember the plan, right? We play it way cool. Get in there, we get the baby, and we get out. Trina, you watch the door. Are we ready? All right. Let’s do it.

What are you doing here? I wasn’t informed of a visit.

Step away from the baby. Do it now.

Hey, buddy. I thought you were sleeping.

Where’s mommy?

Oh, she wasn’t feeling well, so your daddy took her to the doctor.

Who’s that lady?

Oh, that’s aunt tracy. You remember her. She was at the wedding. She’s really nice.

Wiley, my little boy is your uncle ned. Actually, he’s not really so little. And when he was your age, he really loved trains. I hear you like trains too.

And horses.

And horses. Oh, my goodness, I love horses too. But you know what I like more? I like stories.

Oh, what do you know? Wiley loves stories too.

I was just about to tell brook lynn a story. Want to help me?

[Laughs]

One of my favorites is “the miller’s tale.”

Oh.

[Clears throat]

And there’s also the one about the little pigs.

Yeah.

Ok. Ok. So once upon a time, there were four little pigs–

there were only three little pigs.

Oh, well, I guess I’m a little rusty.

When is mommy coming home?

After she’s had a chance to rest awhile.

That’s right. She’s gonna come home to you and your baby sister.

And while we wait, I’m gonna tell you about that fourth pig you obviously have forgotten about.

Yeah!

[Elevator bell dings]

Hey, how’s willow?

I don’t know.

[Sighs] I just know I can’t lose her, mom.

You’re not gonna lose her, all right? Ok, that’s not gonna happen.

I’ve been trying to prepare myself, but I’m not– I’m not ready. I can’t–I can’t do this.

Listen to me. You’re not gonna lose willow. You guys are gonna get to the other side of this. I know it. You are.

Drew went after victor? How did they find him?

Well, I don’t know all the details. I just know that they somehow tracked the “haunted star” to greenland. That’s where aunt liesl and the others are.

Does portia know? What about laura?

Well, laura and curtis went with drew. And sonny told me that drew went specifically to bring aunt liesl back home.

I hope he brings them all home, right? Trina and spencer and the baby.

Yeah, I hope they all come home. But when drew comes back–

oh, there might be a couple sec agents waiting for him, huh?

After putting everything on the line to save willow, drew’s gonna come home with the sec sifting through his business and possible jail time. I mean, he could lose his company, everything that he built, his whole life that he built since he managed to escape from victor. And it’s all because of me.

[Light music playing]

[Sighs]

You want to know what I think?

Yes, I do.

People contain multitudes.

Meaning?

People are full of contradictions, nina. Drew may be a hero, and he may also deserve to go to prison. That ain’t your problem.

Pathogen will be released, and the world’s suffering can finally come to an end. It’s actually quite merciful, really.

That’s why you murdered luke, so that you could unleash your poison?

Oh, much as I’d like to take credit, my brother mikkos developed the pathogen several decades ago. It was only after I acquired the ice princess necklace that I could finally locate his facility.

Decades ago?

Oh, my brother was way ahead of his time.

Your brother was a maniac. But to drew’s point, what makes you think that a pathogen that was created decades ago is still going to work?

Ah, now, that is an excellent question. And I guess you’ll just have to see for yourselves.

[Dramatic music]

[Gasps]

Exhibit A. My son was administered the pathogen earlier this evening. Not so long ago, isn’t that right, liesl?

Do you doubt the pathogen now?

Helena?

Yes, my son. Oh, soon we’ll be together.

Please help me.

Do you think I am the angel of mercy, that I’m here to save you from a painful, agonizing death?

Maybe you believe that I have arrived to transport you to those fluffy clouds of heaven?

Oh, my poor, dear little twisted boy. I’m here to drag you down, down where you belong… with me for eternity.


don’t you think you’re being a little harsh?

The fact is, no matter what drew is doing to find your aunt and save your daughter, he and carly did break the law.

Yeah. That’s right. They broke the law. They broke the law. It’s not like we’re perfect citizens either, though.

Mm, don’t I know it. But what’s done is done. And you can either let the guilt paralyze you, or, since carly probably won’t be able to be, you can be there for your daughter. Choice is yours.

[Light music playing]

[Heart monitor beeping]

[Door clicks open]

Dr. Ashford, I have the blood work from the lab.

Thank you, uh, and please call the lab and thank them for rushing these for me.

[Dramatic music]

[Sighs]

Thank you.

Mm. Sleep, little one.

[Sighs]

Hey.

Hey, do you have any news?

Yes.

No. You go straight back to hell. I’m not going anywhere with you!

Not yet. But soon. Your father has all but sealed your fate.

 

[Knock at door]

Open up. I have your supervisor on the phone. Robert, are you all right?

Ah, I knew you’d come through.

No, no, no, you don’t understand. Frisco was replaced as director.

What?

Yeah. I got through to him. I told him that laura and the others were on the island, and frisco refused to give the order to destroy the island, so the governing board replaced him on the spot. And the new director gave an order to destroy the island.

Along with everyone on it.

Yes.

Ok. The seaplane is docked on the other side of the island. Do you think the two of you can make it there with the baby?

What about you?

I didn’t come alone. And I will not leave without the rescue team.

There’s a team?

I have no time to explain right now. You guys take the baby and get out of here right now.

Curtis.

Trina, I will be right behind you as soon as I can. I promise.

Not until you tell me who else is on this island.

Drew cain, valentin, and laura.

You’re insane.

On the contrary. I’m welcoming in the dawn of a new world…

where only the strong can survive.

Are you sure about that?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Auntie Mag. Sorry I’m late. That’s it. Sorry you’re late. Not even a decent excuse. Well, or even a fabricated one. I actually, I was with Gwen and I was letting her stop. Stop. Alex, really, seriously, you have the nerve. To tell me that you couldn’t make it to work on time because you were having a booty call with that woman.

No, I’m telling you that I’m late because I was letting that woman know that our booty calls are over.

Oh, wow. I hate seeing my gwenny looking. So glm just stop staring then and go back to your. Phone or whatever, but I wanna be here for you. And you know, it’s so late if Alex, Kiki had been my friend with benefits and he suddenly cut off those benefits, my pennies is being a twist too. You know damn well that that is not what I’m upset about.

Well, it’s one of the things, right? And the reason I didn’t bring up the other thing is because I’m your best friend, and I know that the other thing is the painful thing, whereas the thing with Alex is more of an insulting, irritating thing. So I thought. It’d be something of a distraction to bring up that thing rather than the really, really hurtful thing, you know?

No, I don’t, I haven’t. The funs idea of what you are rambling on about. Well, that’s because you’re obsessing over Xander. Poor Gwenny. Oh. Could you just stop being so patronizing? You know, I hate that damo. Are you sure that Sandra and Chloe are, are really moving in together now? I wish it weren’t so. What I saw with my own two eyes, your cock doodle do.

And that songbird definitely looking to nest. And they actually bought the apartment. Yep. And the crazy thing is right before they decided it was right for them, Brady showed up to look at the same apartment for him and his bratty kid. As soon as he sees Chloe, he gets this miserable look on his face just like that one.

And he was hell bent on talking her out of it.

Chloe, look, I, I know that things have been challenging for us lately, but, but moving none with Xander. I mean, you say your friends, but what kind of friendship can you have with this guy? I mean, he’s, he’s distrustful. He. He’s made enemies left and right, including you at one point in time. I mean, I don’t understand why you wanna make a home with him.

Because to be honest, I am lonely and he’s good company. Chloe, if he wants to move in with you and he’s, he’s offered to foot the bill, that’s because he’s expecting something is going to happen. Please don’t do this. Don’t make this kind of a mistake that you and I both know that you’ll regret. Oh, hey, I thought that was Baker Girl’s room.

Bakery. Yo, who the hell is that? The girl that works with Chanel that sweet bit, believe her names Talia.

Um, why did you do that? Listen to me. Hi. And listen. Good before that bitch killed my mother. She broke her heart when she went for my father. So now it’s time to see how she likes having her heart broken. She’s already had her heart broken her ex cheated on her, and then moved to a different continent, which is why it’s the perfect time for you to swoop in and sweep her off her feet, and then break a little heart all over again.

Why did you kiss me, Talia?

Okay, thanks. Yep. Hey, just spoke with Paulina Price and reviewed her statement with her. You got something maybe, uh, turns out there was an opportunity for Sloan to have gotten a hold of Paulina’s office keys. I knew it, but Sloan wasn’t the only one. Turns out my sister had the same opportunity.

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

You really think your sister had something to do with this? I’m just going by what was taught to us at the Academy Boss gathering all the facts. Don’t rush to judgment what we think doesn’t matter. It’s what we know. True. So what do we know? We know that Tallier Rens, Paulina Price at the square and so did Sloan Peterson, who has made it no secret that she is gonna continue to pursue her vendetta against Paulina and Chanel.

Sloan also had motive to trash Paulina’s office, whereas your sister did not. In fact, from what I have witnessed, your sister has no reason whatsoever to want hurt Paulina. In fact, she works for Paulina’s daughter. You said that she and Chanel get along great, didn’t you?

Sorry. I guess I was just caught in a moment. Now I, I wasn’t looking for an apology, Talia. Yeah, I know, but I owe you one. You’ve been upset, you know, with everything going on and. The last thing I want is to take advantage of that. It’s okay. It’s just, I, it kind of surprised me. I, I didn’t even know you were into girls.

I’m not. At least I wasn’t. And so now, I mean, I’ve only dated guys before. And I don’t have to tell you, you know how baking is all about chemistry? Yeah. So it’s physical attraction, right? And there’s no denying that there’s real chemistry between me and you. Look, it’s not like this was a premeditated thing.

I mean, you were in my arms and it felt right and you know, kissing. You just felt like it was supposed to happen. Yeah, it felt right to me too. But you just broke up with your girlfriend, so maybe it’s too soon to do something with me. Actually, maybe it isn’t.

I don’t know any. Tanya, I said, Talia, whatever. I don’t know any Talia either. I think you have the wrong room. Um, she definitely saw her here. I know. Cause I, I live right down the hall here. My friend, uh, Chloe and I, we bumped into her recently coming out of that room.

Listen, I appreciate your concern for me, Brady, but if my moving in with Xander’s a mistake, then. It’s my mistake to make, but Chloe, God, it affects me too. See, don’t you, don’t you understand that? I see. I care about you, Chloe and I, I love you.

I love you too, but I think it’s time for United Admit that in our case, love is not enough.

What are you, what are you saying? I am saying that you and I are over. You don’t mean that. You don’t mean that. Come on, Brady. You and I both know that we’ve been done for a while now. We’ve just been in denial about it ever since Rachel started hating me and you had to put her feelings first. She’s my daughter.

I know that. I know that. And I don’t blame you for that. I’m a mom too. I understand. What is. It’s like to prioritize your child. Look, listen, listen to me. Rachel’s a kid. She’s a little girl. She’s, she’s not always gonna feel the way she feels right now. She’s gonna come to realize that, that, that, that you make her father happy.

It’s not gonna matter to her cuz she also sees me as the person who makes her mother miserable. And you and I both know all too well that Kristen fueled that fire she made Rachel believe that the only thing standing in the way of the three of you being this happy little family is me. So what’s, what are we, we’re just gonna let Kristen win.

Is that it? No. No. No one wins in this. Kristen got Rachel to hate me, but she didn’t get you to fall back in love with her. And Rachel got her way by keeping us apart, but her parents still aren’t together. And you ready? You are the man that I fell in love with. You are so full of hope and so joyful. And little by little, I have witnessed that that joyfulness and that hopefulness just steadily being eaten away.

And I know why. It’s because you are her wonderful father and you can’t stand seeing your girl suffer. But the way that Kristen regards me and the way that she’s influenced Rachel to regard me, I am indirectly responsible for that pain and I can’t in good conscience continue with that.

I can’t believe this, and, and Chloe moving in together, I mean, She is such a boar, completely humorous. There’s not an ounce of a spark to the woman. And not to mention the fact that I, I thought that she hated Sandra because he left her with some Mexican drug, Lord. So why a sudden 180? I mean, it just doesn’t, it doesn’t make sense.

And I know that he and I weren’t perfect together, but I mean, Really, really, really good times. You know, a lot of romance and laughter. Laughter. My God, I can’t even imagine him laughing with Chloe Lane cause she’s such a,

is everything just. Oh, everything’s just such a struggle. Why? Matt? Why? Why? That’s it, girl. That’s it. Let it all out.

Hey, hey. If it’s any consolation, it is a two bedroom apartment. What two bedrooms sink. Two bedrooms, that that means that they have their own room, although the second bedroom would make for a great office or a workout room for that. Scotty Hotty. Oh, Gwenny. Come on. I’m just trying to lighten the mood. Put the pillow down.

Come on. You know what you need to get you through this. What? A giant dartboard with zanders bubbly mug on it. That, but I was thinking a nice bottle of tequila. Two pints of ice cream. No. Make it three. You could use one too. Strawberry, right? I’m going to dial a broom. Service. No, don’t you dare. Look, I don’t know what you think you saw.

But this is my room. And if there was some random girl coming and going, believe me, I would notice. I’m sure this is the room. I saw that tell you, girl, come out. What are you the house, dick? Excuse me mate. No offense mate. It’s just slang. For hotel detective, they used to say it all the time in those old black and white noir films, you know, the ones where people have questioned more moral character, give each other trouble of some sort.

Jada, where is this coming from? Has Taja done something like this before? Something to make you suspect her of these pretty egregious offenses? No. No. God no. No, no, and and it’s hard for me to even come up with a reason why Talia would wanna hurt Chanel or her family. But I also know that I need to put my personal biases aside and look at all of the possibilities as hard as it may be, and both my sister and Sloan Peterson had the opportunity to steal Paulina’s keys from her purse when she left it unattended.

Okay. I can’t argue with your logic, but Yep. I think I may have found a hole in your theory.

I was talking to Commissioner Hernandez in his office and he had this picture of Allie and her son Henry on his desk, and she had just sent it to him. Allie’s your ex. Right. And she and the commissioner are there real close and he told me that she started seeing someone in New Zealand. Well, he didn’t actually tell me that.

I just, um, I asked and he didn’t say anything, which was obviously his way of telling me that yes, she is seeing someone. Sorry. Yeah. Well, I’m not all that surprised anyway. Now you know why the health department shutting us down is only part of the reason why today has been such a rough day for me. So you and your ex, you guys were pretty serious.

We were. And then we hit this rough patch and then I, I thought that we were gonna be able to figure things out and work it out. But then I caught her with this guy, Alex, and, well, that was pretty much the end of us. So you and Gwen Oh, sit, sit. Are done seeing each other.

Auntie I, um, I started some therapy with Dr. Evans and she helped me realize that all this sleeping around that I’m doing, it’s actually my way of avoiding any commitment and not just to a particular woman, but in everything else in my life. Hmm. Well, I’m, I’m glad to, um, hear that you see that, Alex. Well, good, because as of right now, I’m putting all of my energy into my commitment at Titan.

I’m gonna show you firsthand that I am dead serious about doing my part in contributing to the growth and the success of our family business. Excuse me. Hello? Hello, Victor, will you sound upset dear. Could you slow down? What?

Are you sure what a says? Oh, oh my God. Oh my God. Whoa. Whoa. What’s going on? Mun Victor’s son, your cousin Bob Brady is alive.

You’ve made it clear we are a teen sea bit overextended when it comes to our tab at this fine establishment, but a girl’s gotta eat a teen sea bit overextended. Phyllis is this close to seizing the spectator and auctioning it off to pay off this massive hotel bill. No tequila fine. It’s not the expensive stuff.

What if we settled on a cheap bottle of wine and two fruit cups? Wow, my mouth is watering.

All joking aside, I know that losing Xander was a huge loss for you. You need to mourn that loss. So if you need to yell, scream, throw pillows, just not at me. You do whatever you need to do to get a handle on your feelings. I’m here for you. Thank you, Matt. And you’re right, I do. Oh, do you really need to just vent and just get it out and just cry and scream and just throw things?

I need to just really mourn the loss as you put it. I need to stop pretending to be so tough and invulnerable.

You know, I was talking about that earlier with Alex Keis before he dumped you too. I am so sorry. That just slipped out.

Bo has been dead for years. Yeah. Or so we thought. And he’s just, he’s alive. I mean that’s, that’s wild. That’s great news. Yeah, but there’s some bad news as well. Bo’s in a coma in a hospital in Greece, and they’re not sure he is ever gonna wake up. Oh my God. I’ve only heard a million times from Uncle Vic about his son and how proud he is of him and how much he loves him, and that’s why he’s fueling up the Titan jet as we speak.

He’s planning to fly to Greece and do everything he can to make sure that that Beau is getting the best possible care. I mean, honestly, I, I have never heard Victor this emotional, but then why wouldn’t he be, I mean, everything, any of him just aches to be with Bo the son. The son, he thought he lost Auntie.

I can only imagine what he’s going through right now. You know what? Why don’t you go to Greece, go with Uncle Vic. I will handle all the business here if you give me that chance.

This is the police report that Sean filed before he went to Greece and he took following a statement after her office was vandalized. What’s it say? Well, I’m looking at the times here, and we know that when Pauline had got to her office with Stephanie, she opened her office with her own keys, which was very soon after she had left the square where she ran into Sloan and Talia.

So if either my sister or Sloan lifted Paulina’s keys while they were in the square, they would’ve had very little time to go make a copy of the key. And then come back and return the original key somehow to Paulina’s Purse so she could open her office door. Exactly. I have to admit, even though Allie is halfway around the world, I, I still thought that maybe we would somehow find her way back to each other.

But now she’s moved on. That’s right. So maybe I should just move on too.

What’s the problem? She’s into women. You’re a woman. Yeah, but I’m not gay. I’m not even, bye babe. Come. All. I really want just you. Okay. Elise. That’s what I thought you wanted too, but it seems like you’re trying to pit me out. No, no, not at all. I only want you to, this won’t be real, at least not for us.

Chanel on the other hand, She’s gonna fall a head over heel for you cuz how could anyone know

what? You’ll commit a crime for me. But you won’t kiss a girl, babe. It’s more than she’s kissing. You’re asking me to lead her on and then break her heart. Chanel maybe if we shouldn’t do this. Yeah, I’ve seen those old movies, but. Not your type of films. There you are. More of a romcom type bloke. Kanye, where are you from anyway?

What’s that? London eye detect. How about this? I won’t ask you any questions about who’s coming in and out of your room, and you don’t ask me any questions about who’s coming and outta my head. Whatever. I’m here to pack up my stuff anyway. I’m finally moving out. This’s. Roy’s my turn. Good. Sounds like we won’t have a problem then.

Will we? Wish I could say it’s been a pleasure.

The Vern’s getting bigger and creepier. Good thing I’m getting outta here. You say it’s not about my feelings for you. How could it be? It’s ever since Kristen got to Rachel, I felt responsible for the suffering of a child. And once I realized that I couldn’t change that I, I couldn’t get Rachel to like me and see me for who I am, it just became more and more intolerable for me that I was the cause of her suffering.

And that girl has had a hard enough life without having someone who she perceives as being the only thing that stands in the way of her having her family together. Chloe? Chloe. Chloe. I understand.

Thank you for that.

I understand that this is hard for you too, and I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry, but like I said before, you are, you’re an amazing father and I respect that so much. And nothing, nothing is more important than that.

God. So, um, This is it. I mean,

oh, I thought I wasn’t, I wasn’t gonna share this with you, but, oh. This morning I was feeling, I was feeling really sad about us and I was alone, and I decided I wanted to sing to try to cheer myself up. And the first song that came to my mind was, and I Will Always Love You.

It didn’t cheer me out. No. That, that, that selection would not do the trick, but it wouldn’t. And the lyrics, the lyrics did ring true because Brady, I will, I will always love you.

I’ll always love you.

Why do you think this isn’t a good idea? Doya? It’s like you just said, there’s real chemistry between us. Wait, is, is this because you’re not sure about being with a woman? No. That’s not it. Okay. Then what is it? I mean, you made a pretty bold move when you decided you wanted to kiss me and you just went for it and now you’re pulling back why I can’t think I can do this.

You know how important this is to you.

When this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings. And more crazy depression because 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 sweet, don’t you? Because you’re my boss. I mean, how would that look? A boss and her employee hooking up, at least for my sister Jada’s job, they have policies against it and that’s what’s standing in the way of her getting with her boss. You know, commissioner Heidi. So maybe it wasn’t Sloane Peterson or Talia who trashed Pauline In’s office.

Maybe it was someone else entirely. Sloan Peterson swears she had nothing to do with it. And I certainly hope my sister didn’t either.

What is it you? You know there’s a small, a mom and pop hardware store just off the square. It would only take a person a few minutes who is very motivated to run over there and get a copy made. Everyone thinks Uncle Vic is so strong. But we all know that you are the one who keeps him strong. Auntie, you are his rock.

That’s why you need to go be with him in Greece. What do you think? I’m just having misgivings about leaving right now. Alex, I mean, the last time that I trusted you, uh, with autonomy, you, you. It’s undermined my authority as the head of this company and then you, you compromise the values that I had laid out.

I can’t deny that. I also can’t deny that you’ve been generous enough to give me far more chances than I deserved, which is hardly the argument for me to give you another one. And I admit that I have had some poor judgment in the past. I’ve made some errors. But I think I have made it very clear that there is nothing that matters more to me than my family.

That’s why I’m asking you. I’m pleading with you. Go be with Uncle Victor in Greece. He’s about to go through something very difficult, very emotional. Also miraculous. That’s why he needs you.

Okay. Okay then. Um, but this is your last chance. To prove that you are committed to this company and to this family,

and this is, it’s a very important deal to tighten. It’s hugely important. In fact, the details are all laid out. The plans are in place. I have done all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to do anything other than just close the deal.

I am not going to let you down, auntie, promise you,

you know, I was only using Alex to, to make Xander jealous and to get over him.

You see, I truly believe that Zander would stick around. There was something about the way that he looked at me and the way that he’d make me laugh, the way I made him laugh. How we

accepted each other’s weaknesses are many. Weaknesses for we, we still see the good in each other.

I’ve never felt such a deep connection to anyone ever like that before.

I’ve never had that ever. Never ever.

I really hope you do get it one day. I really do, because honestly, yes. Who’s the best feeling of all to know that somebody sees you for you with all of your faults and still loves you?

And so therefore you, you see yourself through their eyes and it look makes you love yourself more. You know?

I feel that with you, Gwenny. You make me feel that way.

I doing with you too. Damn. Only we wanted to jump each other’s bones. You finally,

I’m really sorry it didn’t work out for you and Xander, and I’m sorry that I had to be the one to tell you that he’s moving in with Chloe. Yeah, well that’s all right, cuz as you said, I would’ve found out eventually, wouldn’t I?

You know what I.

I think I need to get some,

I have to go out and and figure out how I’m gonna say goodbye to the only man that I truly love.

So let’s go check out that hardware store then. Right. And we’ll show them Sloan and Talia’s picture and see if either one of them had to keep me that day. Yeah.

Talia, I know they have rules like that for the Salem PD and other places too, obviously about the so-called inappropriate relationships between bosses and subordinates or whatever. But it’s like you said, I’m the boss here at Sweet Bits, and there isn’t any policy to stop me from being with someone. I like if it’s consensual, obviously.

And. To be honest, I don’t even know if you working here for me is even going to be an issue anymore with the shutdown. I don’t know if a sweet bits can survive this. Look, I know you okay, well, at least I’m getting to know you, so that’s why I’m confident you’re gonna figure out a way to keep this place going.

And if I do, It will be because I have someone like you in my corner, someone who has my back, someone I can trust.

And I, I, I feel like I can trust you, Toya, and especially with everything I’ve been going through lately, it just means so much to me. Oh, sorry. I better check this. Sure.

Everything okay? Yeah. Um,

okay. Well, um, I’m gonna stay here and clean up a little bit more. I can help you. No, it’s, it’s okay. I can handle it. But how about I meet you later? Like for a date? What do you think? You can maybe talk some more and. See where it goes. Hi. Sure. Okay, well, um, dinner at Bistro.

Hey, so, uh, what I walked in on earlier was you and Brady. Does that mean you guys are. I’m back together because if you decided you don’t want to move in with me, I totally understand. I mean, I’ll figure something out. I don’t really need two bedrooms, but who knows? Maybe I’ll find another roommate, Andrew.

No, it’s okay. You don’t have to find another roommate. No, no. When you walked in on me and Brady, that was goodbye.

So I hear that Zander and Chloe are shacking up, get drown sorrows together.

Our first meal in our new place. Yeah. We’re lucky to have that great Italian restaurant down the block. Many others. Whoa. Do you always order pizza with that much sausage, pepperoni, and bacon? I’m an unapologetic carnival. Chloe, get used to it. Oh, uh, I don’t Suppose you want a slice of my half for the pizza.

Oh, the side that’s covered in. Disgustingly healthy spinach and slimy mushrooms. Now that’s all you always, I’ve enjoyed. Oh, but I would like to make a toast.

Thank you.

You better off with that, him, Chloe. Yeah. Right. And you are better off without her. Although I’m not sure which her I’m actually referring to. Does it matter? Alright. I’ve had to better toast a jolly or one one that’s a bit more future oriented. I can get behind that to my charming roommate, to my carnivorous, remain.

Who can also be quite charming when he sets his mind to it.

And what are you drinking? It’s club soda. Mm. Well, I’m gonna need something just a tad stronger. Scotch rocks. Perhaps perhaps two or three if the waitress ever bloody comes round. It’s funny, I, I heard that you recently gave up scotch. Yeah, I had actually, then I picked up the scotch again. I do admire you though for remaining abstinence, even under very trying circumstances.

I’m sorry about you and Chloe. Thank you. I wish I could say the same about you and my cousin, but he’s a swine and an idiot, so I think it would be an understatement to say that you’re better off without him. Maybe your best without Chloe. Now, why the hell would you say something like that to me? So it’s fine for you to tell me that I’m better off without Xander and that he’s swine an idiot.

But I’m meant to sing Chloe’s praises. I’m gonna stop you right there. Listen, whatever you had. Well, Xander is nothing compared to what I had with Chloe. Okay? Ah, angry, drunk. Who doesn’t drink? If you think that we’re just gonna. Crown each other’s shoulders or something. Gwen, look at me. Do I look like I’m crying?

Bloody hell, I need that drink. White dress. Come on.

Well, I made all the arrangements. I’m gonna wave Victor to Greece to see Bob. Ah, and I’m getting myself up to speed with this amazing deal that you set up for Titan Auntie. Trust me, you are not gonna be sorry for letting me handle this, okay? Well just stick to what I laid out in this folder and, um, when I come back, tighten you and I, we ah, will all be in a better place.

Bye-bye Alex. Good Uncle Vic, my love

Chanel Dupree as I live. Andre. Hi Leah. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. At least tell me how the wedding planning is coming along. I’m guessing it’s gonna be quite the affair since you’re marrying a rich and powerful demira again. Okay, I’m gonna tell you again, like I told you before, lady Whistle blow hard.

Johnny and I are just friends and the engagement that never was is off. In fact, I have a date tonight. Well, someone else. Whoa, lucky you. So male, female, cisgender, transgender, non-binary, gender queer, a gender pan, gender two-spirit, third, gender, any combination thereof. Wouldn’t you like to know?

Hello? How’d it go? Well, I have dinner tonight with Chanel at the bistro. Ooh, that’s fancy. Hold on, and I can tell just how excited you are about it. Why would I be, I’m leading someone on deceiving her planning to get her into my bed just so I can dump her and break her heart. Why would I be happy about that, Colin?

I do have a conscience. You know? I know you do. And I respect you for that of course. But this woman killed my mother in the most horrible way possible. You seem to forget that. No, I haven’t forgotten that. It’s just, come on. I can’t help but feel for her. Even so, right. I need you to fight that feeling.

Okay. And I need you to do this for me. I know you will because we love each other and you know, How important this is to me. You do, don’t you?

Yeah, I do.

We had a break in a few years back. Hope Brady helped us find a concrete. She still in charge? No, I’m the commissioner now. Oh. So to confirm, You’re the only one who makes keys in your store. Yep. Just let it all me. Alright. Should uh, this woman come in and make a copy of the key a few weeks ago?

No. I remember such a pretty lady.

How about this Pretty lady? Oh yeah. I remember her real well, not only because she was an icap, but she was in a hell of a rush.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Eric: Look who’s here. Well, it appears that, uh, ridge was able to talk you into coming into the office.

Rj: Well, of course, he promised me lunch with you, granddad.

Ridge: You know, I thought we could bring our favorite influencer to our favorite take-out restaurant, see what he thinks. If he likes it, he can tell his friends and his followers can blow it up.

Rj: Hey, if we do that, you’ll probably never be able to get another order in.

Ridge: That’s a good point. Let’s not do that.

Eric: You know, ridge junior seems to be just about as popular as you were at his age.

Ridge: Easy, almost.

Rj: Hey, hey, hey, hey, neither of us are as big a deal as you are, granddad.

Eric: I’m glad you realize that. It’s good to see you, welcome back.

Rj: Good to see you too.

Ridge: Couldn’t agree more.

Rj: Thanks, dad.

Thomas: You know, zende suggested that we do thicker braiding.

Hope: To give it more structure.

Thomas: Yeah, but I’m thinking maybe just on the sides.

Hope: Yeah, so it doesn’t–

Both: Break up the flow.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: I swear, thomas, sometimes you can read my mind.

Daniele: Well, I have to congratulate you, deacon. You’re doing an amazing business over here.

Deacon: Oh, thank you, chef daniele. I gotta tell you, it means a lot coming from a world-renowned chef like yourself.

Daniele: Well, you know, I have to be honest. When I sold the restaurant to you, I was a little bit nervous, but il giardino is a hit. Well done, deacon.

Deacon: I gotta say, our clientele, they expect a lot.

Daniele: But the pizza must be perfect.

Deacon: Mm-hmm. Oh.

Daniele: Look at that.

Deacon: Yes. This is amazing. So much flavor in the crust and the– the texture. How do you do this?

Daniele: When you have a lot of business, you turn up the heat.

Deacon: So cook it faster.

Danielle: No, no, no longer. Slower and longer.

Deacon: Longer.

Danielle: Yes. A drop in 15 degrees temperature, it will make the crust go puffier, airier, crispier. Look at that.

Deacon: Well, if it tastes as good as this one, I’m gonna have to hire a bouncer to handle the lines outside.

Daniele: Cheers this.

Deacon: Yeah. Mm. So good.

Deacon: All right, enough pasta.. I’m gonna eat this whole damn pie. Chef, I just want to thank you so much for– for putting your faith in me, for your wisdom and your guidance. You’re the best.

Daniele: Well, my mom in naples was the best. She taught me. I’m teaching you and look at you, deacon, you’re a success. Good job.

Deacon: Well, I hope so. I mean, I got a long way to go, but uh, I’ll tell you I wouldn’t mind making a little more money.

Hope: Where is that sketch that you were showing me earlier? The one you were working on?

Thomas: Uh, this one?

Hope: Oh, yes. Oh, it turned out so great. I love that you brought the pattern all the way down. I mean, it really helps the way that it–

Thomas: The way that it drapes.

Hope: Exactly.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: You know, thomas, no one does casual sophistication the way that you do.

Thomas: Hey, that’s the heart and soul of california fashion, right? And that’s what forrester creations is known for. But we always do it with a little bit of an unexpected twist.

Hope: Um, segue, uh, speaking of unexpected twists, have you seen much of rj since he’s been back?

Charlie: Oh, well, you look at this. What do we have here? We’ve got double trouble. Right here at our stage. We got ridge senior and ridge junior. Welcome.

Rj: Hey, charlie. Do you have that, uh, new badge for me?

Charlie: Yeah, I– yeah, I, but you know, we need to redo the picture because your I would– it’s on pammy’s desk.

Ridge: It’s a good thing to have. You’re gonna come in every day. You should have one.

Charlie: What? What? That’s great. Welcome aboard rj.

Rj: No, no, not quite, charlie.

Eric: Maybe, uh, maybe someday.

Rj: I mean, if I was working here, it would give me more time to hang out with the coolest guy I know.

Charlie: Oh, stop.

Eric: It’s me.

Ridge: Well, here we are. Finally got you back here from halfway across the world. Now, just gotta figure out how to keep you. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Daniele: You want to make more money, deacon?

Deacon: Doesn’t everybody? Which is why I’m gonna be hiring a new wine sommelier. And as a matter of fact, I should have one coming any minute.

Daniele: That’s a great idea.

Deacon: You know, il giardino is a classy place. We gotta– we gotta lean into that, you know. Really step it up, find somebody who knows what they’re doing, with some flair, with some sprezzatura. You know, that’s– that’s where you really make the money.

Daniele: Of course, I agree on that. But remember, people come in for the food. Freshest ingredients from the farmers’ market. The local produce is everything. That’s what people come in–

Deacon: No, I get it. I get it. I mean, if I don’t do those things right, all the flash in the world isn’t gonna make a difference.

Daniele: Well, you are my friend.

Deacon: Oh, come on, you gotta go so soon?

Daniele: Yes, I’m off, my friend.

Deacon: Oh, chef daniele, thank you so much for everything. For your advice, your friendship. Don’t be a stranger, okay?

Daniele: I won’T. Remember, keep up the quality and the money will come, my friend. Ciao.

Deacon: Ciao. Money, money, money, money, money. Show me the money!

Boucie: Did somebody just say my favorite word? Money!

Rj: So, tell me about the hot new takeout place.

Ridge: Dad, let me ask you something. Why is it every time I bring up work, this one changes the subject?

Charlie: Well, uh, lunch will unfortunately have to wait. Uh, the big boss has a meeting.

Ridge: No, my schedule’s clear.

Charlie: Nah, nah, nah, nah, no, the O.G. Big boss. The original uh, big, in this case, the original granddaddy big boss, this guy, him.

Ridge: Excuse me.

Eric: Yeah, thanks for the reminder. I appreciate it, charlie. It’s a video conference. It shouldn’t take too long.

Ridge: Why don’t you take it here?

Rj: Yeah, I– I can help you with the lighting, the background.

Eric: You know, actually I have the ring light and the tripods set up just down the hall, so I’ll do that.

Rj: Wow, I’m impressed.

Eric: Well, I have an influencer friend who gave me some tips, you know. I know how to do this.

Rj: Well, it’s nice to know I have at least one big time celebrity follower.

Eric: I’m proud of you. I’ll be right back.

Rj: All right.

Ridge: Well, there you go. The forrester men, now they know how to put on a show. Your granddad taught me, but it turns out no one had to teach you. You know all this stuff already. You know what? That kind of knowledge could come in very handy around here.

Thomas: You know, when you asked me back to hope for the future, I vowed to do it right this time. Because that’s what you and the company needed from me, and douglas too. Total commitment. And that’s how this company started, you know. Granddad was totally committed to what he was doing and I’m gonna be that and more. I’m gonna take hope for the future beyond anything forrester creations has ever done.

Hope: Yeah. Well, we hit a slump when we could least afford to have one and things looked pretty bleak, but thanks to your help, we were able to turn things around.

Thomas: Thrilled to do it.

Hope: Yeah, I just wanna make sure though that you don’t get so caught up in this, that you don’t have any time for yourself, or to spend with douglas.

Thomas: Oh, I promise that’s not gonna happen. And we had so much fun at the game last weekend.

Hope: Remind me again, how many hot dogs did you let that boy eat? Was it?

Thomas: Uh, not as many as me. Look, I promise it wasn’t as many as me. And uh, and I also– gosh, we had– we always have fun when we’re together, but um, I– I did let him know that obviously you and I are just really busy right now.

Hope: That is true. And I guess that answers my question from earlier, about rj. I mean, I know you saw him when he first got home, but I’m guessing you haven’t had any time to spend with him since?

Thomas: Not really. Honestly, we just haven’t crossed paths or had a chance to connect.

Hope: So, you haven’t been avoiding rj at all? And I’m just curious about how you really feel about rj being back. That’s all. She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Boucie: Might you be deacon sharpe, the proprietor of this fine dining establishment?

Deacon: Ah, yeah. And you are?

Boucie: Count boucie, master sommelier to the stars and the answer to all your dreams. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance fine, sir.

Deacon: Uh, yeah. Pleasure’s mine. Who’s this?

Boucie: Uh, that’s my grandson.

Orville: Hi.

Deacon: Hi.

Boucie: I hope it’s all right that I brought him along.

Deacon: Yeah, no problem.

Orville: Gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Ah, we’ll get something to eat in a little while. Just go sit down and–

Orville: But gramps, I’m hungry.

Boucie: Just sit down. We’ll be right with you.

Deacon: I’m guessing you saw my ad for a wine expert?

Boucie: And count boucie is the man you are looking for.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Thomas: How do I feel about rj being back? I think it’s great.

Hope: Okay. I wasn’t sure.

Thomas: Well, I mean, I know that dad and brooke really missed him.

Hope: Well, so have I.

Thomas: You understand why he stayed away though, right? He just wanted to avoid the family drama.

Hope: Yeah, but he knows we’re past that now.

Thomas: Yeah, he does.

Hope: Yeah, I mean, I’ve been updating him on everything. I mean, mom and taylor are being besties now. Bill helping ridge put sheila back in jail. I mean, douglas is home. He knows we’re on better terms now.

Thomas: Yeah. Everything seems kind of copacetic, doesn’t it?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Let’s hope it stays that way.

Thomas: I don’t see any reason why I shouldn’T.

Hope: Wow, that is good to hear. I just know that I’m thrilled that rj is back home, in los angeles, but I understand if your feelings are a little more complicated, nuanced, complex.

Rj: You know, I’m not kidding. Grandpa is 100% a-list.

Ridge: Ha. He would love to hear you say that. And it’s great to see him so happy with donna too.

Ridge: Yeah. Well, you know, those logan women bring it out in the forrester men.

Rj: Oh, yeah. And vice versa.

Ridge: Well, it’s working for them.

Rj: But not you and mom?

Ridge: Listen, your mom and I, we– we have some great memories and we created you. This incredible kid.

Rj: Well, it’s great that she’s in a happier place now.

Ridge: It is great.

Rj: You look happy too.

Ridge: Of course, I’m happy, you’re back. I mean, your mom and I, we couldn’t be happier.

Rj: Well, I mean, I’m– I think the whole truce with taylor plays a part in it too, right?

Ridge: Yeah. No, I’m sure it does. And– and if I had known that that was a possibility, I would have encouraged it years ago.

Rj: Well, you know, from what I’ve heard, it definitely sounds like you, uh, played a part in making it happen, so.

Ridge: Really? You’re gonna do that?

Rj: Yeah.

Ridge: So you came back just to rub it in. Is that it?

Rj: No, dad. I– I’m just, I’m– I’m just curious, you know what’s going on between you and mom?

Deacon: Uh, so you’re a count?

Boucie: Uh, at your service.

Deacon: And a wine sommelier?

Boucie: Not any wine sommelier.

Deacon: All right, you– you service the stars.

Boucie: Uh, you inquired about said services. You won’t find anybody better than count boucie. I have an exceptional wine mind and a distinguished palate. Give me a chance and uh, I’ll prove it to you.

Deacon: Um. Oh.

Hope: I just get it, okay? It’s your baby half-brother rj. I understand if there are some competitive feelings there.

Thomas: He, look, he hasn’t been around in a long time and it may take us a minute to– to reconnect, but I don’t see him as competition. And also– oh yeah, I– I– I look, I promise. I– I meant what I said. I’m glad that he’s back and if he wants to come and work here, I will make him feel welcome.

Hope: Of course, you would.

Thomas: Look, I am glad that he’s back, but more than me, I think that your mom and my dad are really glad that he’s back.

Ridge: What did you ask me? You asked me how things are between me and your mom? Was that it?

Rj: No, if you don’t want to talk about it–

Ridge: No, it’s not that I don’t wanna talk about it. I just– I’d appreciate it if you’re not gonna play matchmaker.

Rj: No, dad. Come on, I’m not gonna do that.

Ridge: Well, we’ve already had it, right? Steffy and thomas, they wanted me back with their mom and that didn’t work out well.

Rj: Yeah, well, thomas did a little more than he should have. But like I said, I don’t wanna get involved in any family drama.

Ridge: Well, I think that’s wise.

Rj: Thanks.

Ridge: And as far as your mom and me, we’re um, I don’t know. We’re just chilling.

Rj: Chilling.

Ridge: Yeah, chilling. We’re just gonna leave it alone for now.

Rj: Right. ‘Cause you’re so good at that. Come on, dad. I know what you’re like when you set your mind on something, talk to me, talk to me.

Ridge: Now, that’s another forrester trait that you were given.

Rj: Yeah, it’s an invaluable one, as long as we’re not butting heads.

Ridge: We’re not, right? We’re not butting heads.

Rj: No, no, no, not us.

Ridge: You know why? ‘Cause I’m glad that you’re here. I’m– I’m so happy to see you and so impressed with the man that you’ve become. The man that– that you’re becoming. I need to talk about the future a little bit and it’s not, there’s no pressure here. It’s just– it’s what I told granddad, you know. You’re– you’re talented and you– you– you have, um, you have this passion and understanding for something.

Rj: And– and I’m– I’m using it.

Ridge: Yeah, I know you’re using it. Yes, you are. You’re traveling, you’re seeing the world, you’re– you’re– you’re living your best life and I love that. But you were given something. You were given a gift. I don’t know if it started with your granddad, I think it did, but he gave it to me. He gave it to thomas, you have it. It’s a gift to create beauty. And I see it in you. I see it in your work, I see it in your videos, your art. You look at– at the world in a– in a– in a very unique way and whatever you see, you find a way to– to make it tangible for everybody. I need you to do something for me. I need you to show me. No, I don’t, I– no, you don’t need to show me because I already know. You need to show yourself because I’m convinced you could be the greatest designer that forrester has ever seen.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Ah, you’re looking a little lost. Can I help you find something?

Nick: Yeah. If you were the blueprints for the abu dhabi project, where would you be?

Nikki: Abu dhabi? Um, let me see… abu dhabi is right… here.

Nick: Oh, there we go. Thanks, champ.

Nikki: Hey, you’re not leaving, are you?

Nick: No, I’m just covering for victoria in the meeting with the international team.

Nikki: Good because there’s a new rule around here. Only one of you is allowed to leave town at the same time.

Nick: You’re stuck with me.

Nikki: So, um, I heard the news. I guess I should be congratulating adam and sally. They’re expecting a baby girl.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Knock on door ]

Sally: Well, hello. Are you my escort?

Adam: Um, do you need one?

Sally: I’m not sure. I was hoping you would tell me on the way.

Adam: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Sally: So your being here has nothing to do with why victor just asked to see me?

Phyllis: I’m sorry, baby. I’m sorry, I put this in– in your hands. I’m sorry I put you in this position. It’s not fair.

Summer: No, it’s not fair. I’m just scared. I’m scared that if you don’t come with me right now and clear all of this up, I’m just scared that I’m never gonna see you again.

Phyllis: No, no. I don’t intend for that to happen. That will never happen, okay? Summer, all I need is time.

Kyle: Hey.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Elena: Hey.

Audra: Hey. I– I thought maybe you weren’t coming.

Elena: Oh, I considered it. You never seem to have good news for me, audra. I might be better off avoiding you.

Audra: Right. Well, brace yourself because I finally have good news.

Elena: Oh, yeah.

Audra: You asked and I delivered. I tracked down jt hellstrom.

Nate: Hungry?

Victoria: I’m starving.

Nate: Did you look at the menu?

Victoria: Yep, I already know what I want. Avocado toast.

Nate: Avocado toast.

Victoria: Mm-hmm.

Nate: You know, avocados were once considered an aphrodisiac.

Victoria: No, no, no. That was just a marketing story. Yeah. You see, avocado growers wanted people to eat more of them, so the advertising companies came up with reverse psychology.

Nate: You’re kidding?

Victoria: No, I’m not. Yeah, a little bit of, “you don’t want this delicious juiciness. It will blow your mind,” and then, avocado sales went right through the roof.

Nate: You really do have a one-track mind… about business. Of course.

Victoria: Right now, I have other ideas.

Nate: Mm.

[ Phone ringing ] Don’t you think you should get that? It could be important.

Victoria: I think I get to decide what’s top priority and that’s us. So, now we know what I want. What is it that you want?

Nate: Hm. I want what I shouldn’t want because if I have it, it will only lead to trouble.

Victoria: I don’t think we’re talking about carbs anymore, are we?

Nate: I’m afraid not. Carbs, now that I can stay away from.

[ Victoria laughing ] Staying away from you, that’s when it starts to get a lot more complicated. If you’ve had sensitivity, those zingers can really cause

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Adam: Uh, I’m not my father’s errand boy.

Sally: Okay, I apologize. I didn’t mean anything by it. I was just curious.

Adam: Well, the great victor newman consults with no one. He acts first, then he complains about your poor performance later. So how did this date with my dad come about?

Sally: Uh, he just text me and asked to see me.

Adam: Was he asking you or was he telling you?

Sally: Telling.

Adam: Yeah, that was definitely him. When and where?

Sally: Why? Are you planning on crashing?

Adam: I’m providing backup. Trust me, you’re gonna need it.

Sally: Okay, I’m not afraid of victor newman.

Adam: But I did hear a hint of something fear adjacent when you asked me if I knew why he wanted to talk to you.

Sally: You’re related to him. Are you telling me that you don’t dread being summoned, even just a teensy bit?

Adam: Look, one thing I can predict is it’s not gonna be nice and the scars could last a lifetime.

Sally: Okay, you’re not helping. So, if you’re not here because of victor, then please… explain yourself?

Nick: Dad told you the news. Did he also tell you about the stunt he tried to pull the other day?

Nikki: Uh, no, he usually keeps those to himself. What did he do?

Nick: He tried to poach me.

Nikki: For what?

Nick: Dad thinks that if adam and I ran mccall unlimited together, it would bring us closer. Maybe even so close that I would magnanimously decide to back away from sally, allowing adam to be with the mother of his child. Which is so insulting to sally, like she can’t make decisions on her own or that she’s just some trophy that adam and I are competing for.

Nikki: So you turned him down?

Nick: Well, what do you think?

Nikki: If I had known what he was planning, I would have nipped it in the bud.

Nick: He’s just so focused on breaking us up.

Nikki: Now honey, I just have to say that children have a way of bringing their parents together. And the chemistry between sally and adam was undeniable.

Nick: Whose side are you on?

Nikki: I’m on your side, but I know sometimes it doesn’t feel like I am.

Nick: Let me ask you this. If adam and sally are just so perfect for each other, why aren’t they together right now?

Nikki: That’s a good question. Why aren’t they?

Kyle: Remember when you used to hug me like this all the time?

Summer: No.

Kyle: Your arms, you used to wrap them around me so tightly like you were trying to keep me from falling off a cliff. And I loved every minute of it.

Summer: I’ll have to hug you more.

Kyle: Mm. I’ll hold you to that. Hey, how was that errand you had to run? You know, you had to do this one thing and maybe it would get you some closure.

Summer: Um, that I… it was– it was nothing. It was– it was fine.

Kyle: Can you tell me now what that was all about?

Summer: Kyle, I– I thought that you were starting to give me some space.

Kyle: No, whatever– whatever you want. I just thought that if you… what I mean is, I’m glad you did whatever you did because this is the first time you’ve said actual sentences to me in a long time.

Summer: I’m gonna try to do better.

Kyle: You need time and I promise I’ll back off. Just please don’t move into the guest room. Don’t go anywhere, ever. We’ll just sit like this. We’ll get old and forgetful and grow roots like couch potatoes, but at least we’ll have each other.

Summer: That sounds nice.

Kyle: Tell me something. This is serious. Do you blame me for what happened to phyllis?

Summer: Kyle…

Kyle: No, I understand if you would because you think my mother is guilty, so I’m also guilty by association.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: It doesn’t work like that. And I don’t– I don’t feel that way.

Kyle: As much as I know my mother is innocent, I respect the fact that you don’T. And probably never will, unless we’re lucky enough to get a miracle. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Adam: I wanna build a trust.

Sally: Trust.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Between us?

Adam: A trust fund for the baby.

Sally: Now?

Adam: Well, it’s– it’s never too soon. Matter of fact, we probably should start arranging getting her into walnut grove.

Sally: Oh, she doesn’t even have a name.

Adam: She has the newman name, which carries a lot of weight. So you’re right, she probably doesn’t have to worry about getting into preschool. But I just want you to know, and you, that you will never want for anything. You’re right, she doesn’t even have a name and I’m just ready to give her the world.

Sally: That’s a conversation we don’t need to have because I know how much you love connor.

Adam: There were, um, certain advantages that come from being a newman that I did not have access to when I was a child. But I want you to know that this little firebrand is gonna have full and equal access to everything the other kids are entitled to. So you don’t have to worry.

Sally: I’m not. As long as you know that I would never use our child to grab for a slice of the newman pie.

Adam: Never.

Sally: Okay because money’s great, but true worth comes from within.

Adam: Absolutely, yeah. She’s got you and I’m already wrapped around her finger. So, she’s gonna be just fine.

Sally: Yeah. Lucky for us, we have several more months to figure out the details of her life. But, for now, victor is waiting.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

[ Sally sighing ]

Nikki: Your father wants what’s best for everyone in the family. And if we all agree about the connection between sally and adam–

Nick: Oh, the connection. Mom, seriously?

Nikki: I– I’m just saying. Maybe it should give you pause. I mean, remember how he held on to sharon for all those years? How long is sally gonna be able to keep him out of her life?

Nick: Sally and I have talked about this many times. We are setting boundaries.

Nikki: Oh, well, put up as many fences as you want. Flowers will bloom where they choose.

Nick: Just imagine how much progress we’d be making on the dubai project if we spent half as much time focusing on that as you are on my love life. Mom, sally, and I are good. Seriously. And the baby’s gonna thrive. Adam’s gonna have to figure out how he fits into our lives. End of story.

Nate: Being with you, like we just were, was not on my itinerary for this trip.

Victoria: Well, you know, some of the best things in life, they just happen unexpectedly. You’re not even paying attention and they just fall into place. Are you trying to convince me that you don’t feel that too?

Nate: I betrayed elena. I don’t want to be that kind of guy who lies to his girlfriend.

Victoria: I know that your conscience is bothering you. I know that. We didn’t have to do this. The question is why– why did we?

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: I need to do the right thing.

Jt: Hello.

Elena: Hi. Um, I am dr. Elena dawson. You must be jt hellstrom.

Jt: Yeah, I got the message to expect your call. Something about a, uh, a podcast.

Elena: Yeah. Uh, I’m sure you’ve already heard, but I host a podcast that spotlights stories of people who have medical conditions that have changed their lives.

Jt: Sounds interesting.

Elena: I have actually only heard a thumbnail of your story. I know you survived…

Jt: Brain tumor, undiagnosed. Yeah. Changed my life and everybody around me.

Elena: Wow. Sounds traumatic.

Jt: It was. Be honest with you, I’m not– not crazy about the idea of revisiting that time.

Elena: Oh, um, audra told me that you were willing to talk.

Jt: So, you work for newman enterprises, right?

Elena: I do.

Jt: Yeah, well, if this request came from victoria, then, uh, I owe it to her to hear you out. We all need fiber for our digestive health,

Kyle: If I could just find solid proof that my mother wasn’t involved.

Summer: Just let michael do his job.

Kyle: Everything is 10 times more complicated now that stark is dead. The cops and the D.A., They have tunnel vision on this. They’ve already arrested my mother, so if I can just find the proof, then maybe… I promise I won’t involve you in any of that.

Summer: I’m already involved.

Kyle: What do you mean, how?

Summer: Your mom is standing trial for killing my mom. I– I– I’m deeply involved. And I– I just think– I just think talking about it is just stirring up all these feelings, and I don’t want to sleep in the guest room. So can we please just not?

Kyle: I guess this part’s gonna take some work.

Summer: And forgiveness. A lot of forgiveness.

Kyle: As long as we have each other, nothing else matters, right? We’ve done hard work before.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Elena: Um, the thing about victoria is while she is the C.E.O. Of all things newman and she is very hands-on with the media division, her involvement–

Jt: She wants to stay in the wings, I get it. Look, when I had that brain tumor, I did things that I never would have. Things that I’ll regret forever. But that was not me.

Elena: Of course. And you know, this is an opportunity for you to let the world know that those incidents only happened because of your condition. You are living proof that with a proper diagnosis and treatment, patients can go on to have a very regular life.

Jt: And all I gotta do is talk?

Elena: I think a lot of people would be inspired by your story. You may even change a life.

Jt: Yeah, I guess I could do that.

Elena: I’m really happy to have you on board. The first thing that we’ll do is book your flights and your hotel.

Jt: To genoa city? No, forget it. No, there’s no way I can ever go back there again.

Victoria: All right, I guess we’re having a discussion. So, let’s do it. Let’s discuss this guilty conscience of yours. Where was he exactly during our little escapade? Was he– was he out in the hallway? Was he locked in another room? Was he hiding under the bed?

Nate: Uh, my conscience was asleep at the wheel, again. The problem is you are irresistible.

Victoria: Oh, okay, I see.

Nate: And that little voice in the back of my head is as charmed by you as I am.

Victoria: Well, I have to say it sounds like he isn’t very good at his job.

Nate: Well, most of the time he is excellent, but occasionally, he’s terrible.

Victoria: Oh, no. So, you do like me?

Nate: Come on, you know I do. I like everything about you and that’s part of the problem because this, what I feel for you is, is far more than just the physical attraction.

Victoria: I guess the question is, what do we do now? Hi.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Kyle: I like this.

Summer: Which part?

Kyle: All of it. The talking, the not talking, holding, having you all to myself. No arguing.

Summer: That’s nice. I wish that we could stay like this forever.

Kyle: I know what you mean.

Summer: But you know, the second we move, the real world rushes in and it’s not as much fun as it used to be.

Kyle: Then we won’t move. Are you hungry?

Summer: I probably should be.

Kyle: Okay, I can take care of that. Say no more. Tracy! Anyone!

Summer: Kyle, no. Absolutely not. You cannot call your aunt to make you some food. If– if you want something you’ve got to get up and get it for yourself.

Kyle: Okay, I’ll be fast. Don’t move. I love you.

Summer: I love you more.

Phyllis: It all boils down to this, okay? You either save your mother-in-law or you save me.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Nikki: Well, I hope you’re right about sally. That things are as wonderful as you’re saying.

Nick: They are. You have nothing to worry about.

Nikki: Because if she breaks your heart, she’s gonna have a whole world of worry to deal with. And she’s gonna need you because once that baby comes, she will need help and there is no man better equipped to deal with a baby than you.

Nick: I mean, babies do love me.

Nikki: They do.

Adam: Would you mind if I interrupted for a moment to talk to nicholas?

Nikki: I don’t mind if he doesn’T.

Nick: It’s fine.

Nikki: Well, I hear you’re expecting a girl. Congratulations.

Adam: Thank you.

Nikki: I’m sure she’ll be a joy. Little girls are such blessings.

Adam: That’s very kind of you. I appreciate it.

Nick: If this is about mccall, don’t bother. I don’t want to be involved.

Adam: Well, it’s too late because you already are. This isn’t about business. It’s about victor.

Sally: I hope I haven’t kept you waiting long.

Victor: Sally, not at all. Please have a seat. So, I understand congratulations are in order.

Sally: Thank you.

Victor: That little girl is on the way. How sweet is that?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, we are all very excited.

Victor: You mean all that includes the father and nicholas?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, it’s a little complicated, I guess.

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Little complicated. Not really, you know. My sons, you may as well know, have a penchant to fall in love with the same woman.

Sally: You know, I’m really curious as to why you asked me here if that’s gonna be the topic of conversation.

Victor: I just want you to know that they have more in common than they would like to admit.

Sally: Well, my relationship with adam is ancient history, and nick and I are very happy and I do not see that changing for any reason, whatsoever.

Victor: I admire your confidence, but I did not ask you here to commiserate about your love life. I asked you here to talk about my grandchild, your child. There are certain things you need to know before the baby is born. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Nate: I was supposed to be a different man when I took this job. I wanted to build a career, earn my family’s trust back. Be the man I used to be.

Victoria: Well, and now you’re in a hotel room with the wrong woman.

Nate: Right woman, wrong time.

Victoria: Gosh, could somebody please put me in touch with the division that’s in charge of time machines? Because whatever universe you and I could be together would be amazing. What? What? What are you smiling about now?

Nate: Why is being with you so easy?

Victoria: Because you don’t have to pretend to be somebody that you’re not. There’s no expectations.

Nate: I’m just trying to be the kind of man that–

Victoria: That elena expects you to be.

Nate: Something like that.

Victoria: You know, she’s the last vestige of the life that you used to live before you walked away from medicine. You started a new path. And when that happened, you gave up on old dreams and old goals so that you could move on. Start something new.

Nate: Being myself with you means I have to lie to everyone else in my life.

Victoria: Well, then maybe it’s time for you to decide who you are. Do you want to be somebody else’s version of who you should be or do you want to be happy?

Elena: Jt, you only did those things because of your medical condition. I can’t imagine anyone would hold that against you.

Jt: Oh, you must be new to genoa city, ’cause, uh… that town’s got a long memory.

Elena: I think you’d be surprised.

Jt: It’s the last thing I need. You can record me remotely. It’s the only way this thing’s gonna work. Look, your heart’s in the right place, doctor, but I am, uh, I’m staying put.

Elena: Okay, um, how about this? I would really love to have you here, so why don’t you just take some time, think about it, and you can call me back and let me know?

Jt: All right, I’ll do that.

Elena: Okay. Please, keep in touch and if you have any questions, you have my number.

Jt: Yeah.

Elena: Best of luck to you, jt.

[ Elena sighing ]

Sally: It’s true, I don’t know much about parenting, but from what I understand, it’s one of those learn-as-you-go situations.

Victor: No friends to lean on, no family?

Sally: I wouldn’t say that. I can video chat with my sister and my grams whenever I want.

Victor: How about friends?

Sally: I’ve chloe mitchell. Yeah, we’re really close, but I– I mean, honestly I’ve always been really independent and things haven’t turned out too badly, so.

Victor: Yeah, I understand you had a difficult childhood. I mean, you were raised by your grandmother and abandoned by your mother.

Sally: What’s your point?

Victor: My point is that I understand how you’re feeling. I grew up under somewhat similar circumstances. Tough childhood.

Sally: Well, they say it builds character.

Victor: Well, what it builds is a lot of toughness and bitterness, you know. I’d much rather a child grew up in familiar surroundings with loving family, uncles, aunts, cousins, you know. Horseback riding lessons, art lessons. My god, a lot of reading, travel.

Sally: But you didn’t have any of those things and look at you now.

Victor: No, but I want you to know that your child, my grandchild, whatever she wants, she’ll be afforded.

Sally: Well, thank you. That means the world to know that my baby is already being welcomed into your family.

Victor: And nothing should interfere with your career, you know, nothing at all. You are very gifted, very talented, and uh, I’m sorry that I interfered in your bid for jill’s design business.

Sally: Well, you may have delayed things, but I have still been making my dreams come true.

Victor: You’re very ambitious, very gifted. I have a proposal for you.

Adam: I stopped by sally’s earlier.

Nick: Why did you do that? Was there some appointment I didn’t know she had?

Adam: Uh, I thought it would be prudent to get the ball rolling about setting up a trust for the baby. I wanted to make sure she was okay with that before I did anything. Don’t want to step on any toes.

Nick: Well, that’s good. You said this was about dad.

Adam: As I was dropping in, she was stepping out, summoned to society by victor.

Nick: All right, thanks for telling me.

Adam: No, nick, you can’T.

Nick: Who’s gonna stop me?

Adam: Me. – I’m fernando,

Nate: Okay, so what do we do?

Victoria: I think we’ll figure it out. But we will start by always being fully clothed in each other’s presence and never, ever being alone in the same room together.

Nate: Never looking at each other from across the room.

Victoria: Yes, that’s right. And you know, those one-on-one meetings, will now and forever, ever include a chaperone.

Nate: That sounds reasonable. Uh, but what do we do when you just randomly start blushing when you remember the things we’ve done?

Victoria: I’m just gonna have to learn how to forget, I guess.

Nate: Well, you’re gonna have to teach me that one. Uh, remotely from very, very, very–

Victoria: Very remote.

Nate: Far away.

Victoria: Very, very far.

Nate: Yes.

Victoria: Yes. I’m gonna take a shower, by myself. Don’t look.

Nate: Oh, okay. Um, not looking.

Audra: Hey.

Elena: You’re back.

Audra: Yeah, I– I rushed over as soon as I could get away. Um, so what happened? Did you talk to jt?

Elena: I did and he was receptive to the idea.

Audra: Awesome.

Elena: No, he refuses to come here. He only wants to record remotely.

Audra: Uh, no, you– you have to convince him to come to genoa city.

Elena: I already tried.

Audra: Look, it would be the perfect thing to get him to snap victoria back into reality and keep her hands off nate.

Elena: You didn’t see him. He is just a sweet guy trying to do the right thing. And what does that make me? Trying to drag him into my relationship drama?

Audra: You’re not the bad guy, okay? You’re just investigating potentialities. You remove victoria from your equation, refocus her energies onto her former husband, you bust up her monopoly over nate and just like that, everything is the way it’s supposed to be.

Elena: Sure, it sounds harmless, but that would take too long and there are too many ways that it could go wrong. I’m gonna make this short and sweet.

Audra: How? What– what’s your plan?

Elena: I’m leaving for L.A. I’m gonna find out once and for all what’s going on.

Nick: What is this, adam? Why don’t you want me to go see her?

Adam look, she was pretty adamant on meeting with him on her own.

Nick: This is dad we’re talking about.

Adam: Right, and if you ride into her rescue, she’s gonna think that you don’t trust her to be tough enough to handle him on her own.

Nick: Well, we both know what he’s capable of.

Adam: Yeah. And then she’s gonna need somebody, you, to put back a few pieces after he’s done trying to tear her down.

Nick: Damage control.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I wanted to be there, trust me. I contemplated hiding out or paying a waiter to eavesdrop.

Nick: Well, she knows we won’t let anything ever happen to her or the baby.

Adam: Yeah. Well, I hope dad knows that too.

Nick: Well, thank you, adam, for letting me know this was happening.

Adam: Hm. There’s nothing that I won’t do for those two.

Victor: I want you to know that I will back you wherever you wanna go. I will fully finance whatever business endeavor you embark upon, okay? No strings attached.

Sally: Wow. That’s very generous. I– I get it. You will back me, but not here. I can’t stay in genoa city.

Victor: That’s right. You can build your business wherever you want to. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.

Sally: Sorry, I’m just trying to wrap my head around things ’cause you said that you want your granddaughter to be a part of the newman fold.

Victor: I do. I want her to grow up on my ranch, surrounded by uncles, aunts, cousins. Anything she wants will be hers.

Sally: But not me. My baby stays and I go.

Victor: You’re very ambitious, you’re very gifted. You can build a company of your own wherever you want to. I’ll fully finance it. Now, I leave you with that thought, okay? And I have a feeling you will make the right decision, not only for yourself but for your baby. Thank you for coming.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Dramatic music]

My plan’s going ahead. I just have to speed up the timetable.

There’s no way to be certain the antidote is viable without testing it on a human subject.

Yes, that is the plan.

I refuse to use trina or spencer as my test subjects. I would not risk cutting short a young, innocent life.

Would you have the same qualms about using a more adult subject, one who’s decidedly not innocent?

Ah, perfect timing, son.

[Door clangs shut]

You found me. I’m impressed. I thought I’d be untraceable.

You should know by now, victor, I’m more than a match for you.

[Laughs darkly] Oh, your self-confidence is so misplaced.

Don’t you wanna know why I’m here?

Well, I can think of two possible explanations: Either you launched an ill-advised rescue attempt, or it’s just purely out of revenge. So tell me. Which is it?

Can’t it be both?

Well, amelia is asleep like the baby she is. And wiley, well, he’s asleep, but apparently he had a wrestling match with his covers.

And wiley won. You found his covers on the floor.

[Laughs] Yeah, and I tucked him back in, though, and, uh, yeah, he didn’t budge. He’s down for the count.

Ring bearing is hard work.

He did great, though, didn’t he?

The whole wedding was great. Perfect, in fact.

Yeah. Actually no. There was one major tradition that, uh, we left out.

What’s that?

[Soft sweet music]

Would you hold this? And I’ll show you.

[Sighs]

[Uneasy music]

It’s not just the way spencer spoke to dex. It’s that spencer seemed to go out of his way to pick a fight.

[Sighs] Look, he’s just being an entitled jerk.

Yeah, but he wanted to do better. And I–I really do believe that. Spencer was lashing out, and dex was the nearest target. Something’s going on with him.

Like what?

I’m not sure, but I’m gonna find out today.

[Sighs] Trina, please come home.

[Knock at door]

[Soft dark music]

You kept this to yourself. This huge secret affects all of our lives!

I’m sorry that I kept this from you. But honey, I need you to know that your father and I, we love you, and every choice I’ve made from the second I found out I was pregnant with you has been about you. It’s been about doing what’S…

don’t, don’T.

Best for you.

Don’T. Just don’T.

[Sobs]

How can you stand there and say you love me when you kept this from me my entire life?

[Knock at door]

Come in.

I thought you could use a friend.

Cut it out!

I’m so sick of being dragged around by you no-necks.

And I’m sick of your voice.

Stop messin’ around. Get the prisoner to his room. Let’s go.

[Gasps] No.

[Exclaims]

You heard the man.

[Grunts]

[Straining]

[Pants]

You’re gonna pay for that.

[Dramatic music]


[Laughs]

Welcome home, mrs. Corinthos.

Oh, it’s good to be home, mr. Corinthos.

[Laughs]

All right, I will go put this on water.

You forgot something.

You okay?

Oh, it was a long, long day. Some of it was awesome, and some of it was not.

You look beautiful.

Thank you. I’m trying to find the energy to take all this down.

Allow me.

Mm.

Like I said, beautiful.

[Soft music]

Well, whatever the reasons, I’m afraid you’ve come all this way for nothing. I mean, look at you. You’re in my custody, and my men’ll soon locate your accomplices.

They’ll be wasting their time. I came alone.

I’d have expected you to be a much better liar.

I fooled you into believing I was dead.

Yes, well, I won’t let you play me again. Come on. Make it easy on yourself. Just tell me, who are your accomplices, and how did you find me?

Why would I answer your– you’ll just accuse me of lying.

Oh, lies come easily. The truth often has to be coerced.

Diane, look, um, I’m sorry we got interrupted earlier, but, uh, well, I got a bit of time now if you want to, uh, talk, um…

[Snoring]

Call me back. Damn you, scott. Wake up. How long does chloroform last anyway?

[Knock at door]

Anna?

It’s elizabeth baldwin.

Are you decent?

I’m coming in.

Um…

I am sorry about your foot.

Not as sorry as you’re gonna be.

If you can forgive and forget, then I promise to ask for leniency at your trial because you will get caught. It is only a matter of time.

You believe this guy? Let’s show him how we “forgive and forget.”

Wait! My–my uncle, he wants to use me and my girlfriend for a psycho medical experiment, and I am just trying to protect her. I–hasn’t there ever been anyone that you would do anything to protect?

Nope.

I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

[Ominous music]


Man: Mom, really?

Well, fortunately, I don’t require your cooperation. Your mere presence is enough.

Do you have news about willow? How is she?

As far ask I know, willow is still alive.

[Exhales] Gott sei dank.

Can the same be said for your hostages?

No, my great-nephews are fine, thank you, as is the stowaway, trina robinson. But none of you will survive what is to come unless you get on with the testing.

[Grave music]

What testing?

Oh, I’m so glad you asked. You see, liesl is testing the final step in my plan to save the world. And you’re here to help.

[Laughs]

Robert.

Oh, I was just in here, um, visiting anna.

Okay, I just need to take her vitals.

Well, she’s sleeping at the moment.

Well, I still need to examine her. I’ll do my best not to wake her up.

Uh, I–I–I– I can’t let you do that.

I was worried about trina. I figured you were too. Might help us both if we can be worried together.

Thank you so much. Ever since trina called me, I’ve been sick–

whoa, whoa. Wait a minute now. Trina called you?

Oh, I–didn’t curtis fill you in on everything?

No. No, that’s great. That’s great, really. No, I haven’t spoken to curtis. I’ve been leavin’ messages. I figured he was off houndin’ the pcpd, trying to find trina and was too preoccupied to talk to his old man. But that’s good. That’s all right.

[Sighs] You don’t– you don’t know.

Know what?

Curtis and drew cain, they uncovered a lead, and they left to bring trina home… if they can get past victor cassadine.

Oh.

Boss doesn’t take kindly to those that harm his family.

This one tried to escape. He needs to be taught a lesson.

I just wanted to check on trina. Her room is down the hallway. It’s next to the engine room, and it gets it a lot of fumes, so please, I just wanted to make sure that she is okay.

You don’t make requests.

Look, why don’t you take a break? I’ll take care of this guy.

You’re not assigned to this detail. Stick to your orders if you know what’s good for you.

[Tense music] Matter of fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before either. There’s a lot of guards here.

Still.

[Laughs] Wow, my uncle must’ve been scrapin’ the bottom of the barrel for you goons. He must have been very, very, very desperate to hire the entire brainless brigade.

You got a death wish, kid?

All I care about is trina.

Look, don’t harm the boss’ family if you know what’s good for you.

[Grunts]

[Groans]

[Coughs]

How you feelin’?

Blissfully happy to be able to call you my husband and mean it this time. It’s a dream come true.

Mm. Well, I wanna spend my life makin’ your dreams come true.

All I want is you.

By the way, I’m sorry there was no dancing at the reception. Actually, I’m sorry there was no reception, thanks to ned.

At least the sec didn’t show up until after the ceremony.

Yeah, and that they didn’t keep my mom overnight. And since they don’t know where drew is, all we have to do is just…

[Inhales] Wait for him to come back with obrecht.

Sonny gets some credit for that. If he hadn’t led the sec to believe that drew was in maui, things might be very different.

[Sighs] Ever since I was diagnosed with leukemia, the world keeps falling out from under me. My one constant had been you, our children, and your family.

[Somber music] They’ve never stopped supporting me and loving me, and if the worst happens…

it won’T.

If the worst happens, I hate the thought of the family being divided between you and your father.

Joss.

Hmm?

You asleep?

Dreaming.

Good dreams, I hope.

Very good.

You said it was a long day. Tell me about the wonderful parts.

That would be the wedding. Everyone was so happy for michael and willow. Everyone made an effort, even tracy.

Who’s tracy?

[Laughs] Tracy quartermaine, michael’s, uh, great-aunt, so his grandpa’s sister, and she makes the wicked witch of the west seem low-key and agreeable.

[Both laugh]

That feels harsh.

Well, you can meet her, and then you can tell me if I’m wrong. But even she got in the spirit of things. I saw kristina. We don’t really talk anymore. She’s loyal to her dad. She doesn’t wanna admit that he’s done anything wrong. But after that little bit of tension, I mean, it was like a big extended family. It was the spencers, the corinthos, the quartermaines, various falconeris, mccalls, davises.

[Laughs] And we were able to just put the grudges aside and enjoy the night.

Well, what about the bride and groom? Were they able to relax and just enjoy their wedding?

Oh, michael and willow were blissful. And people overuse that word on ice cream and manicures, but tonight I saw true bliss. Michael and willow, they were in a room full of everybody who loves them, and they were looking at each other like they were the only two people on the planet. They were so grateful, so in love, so happy to have that moment. That was bliss.

[Sentimental music]


victor. He’s delusional, right? Tell me this is a fantasy with no chance of being realized.

Without question victor is delusional. However, the pathogen is all too real and effective.

Do you realize man is responsible for 80% of the crises in our world? And my pathogen just happens to have a mortality rate of, yes, 80%. Kind of perfect, don’t you think? Once man and nature are back in balance, then our beautiful planet can flourish once again. And I had hoped to have you by my side. But after your betrayal, I’ve had to reevaluate my priorities.

And who exactly is on your worth-being-saved list?

Well, once liesl has proved the effectiveness of the antidote, then nikolas’ infant son–ay, I really must get around to renaming him one of these days–and myself. Oh, and I promised liesl she could take some of the antidote home to her family, and my trusted employees, of course. I’m afraid everyone else’s fate will come down to a roll of the dice.

And what if the cure isn’t effective? What then? What’s the plan then? It’s not too late, victor. You can end this madness, and you can have something so much better than all this death. You can have your son back.

You won’t let me monitor a patient?

Well, well, she’s, uh, exhausted and tired, uh– you know, I figured that was probably more important than having her vitals checked again.

Actually it’s–it’s not. If anna is groggy or slow to rouse, then we need to make sure there’s not a medical reason for it.

Um, would it be, uh, possible to maybe come back later?

Yeah, it doesn’t work like that. And if you were genuinely concerned about her, you’d be pushing the call button instead of trying to stonewall me.

[Tense music] Why don’t you want me in that room?

Liesl.

My man, change of plans. Watkins wants you on patrol.

Why isn’t watkins tellin’ me? And who are you?

[Muffled grunting]

[Doorknob rattles]

[Panting]

Trina, oh, my god.

Curtis.

Thank god.

Curtis.

[Sighs]

So the wedding was perfect.

Mm-hmm.

What about the reception? Anyone get hammered and do something they’ll regret? Maybe pick a fight with the wicked witch of the west?

Oh, no. I wish. Actually there was no reception. Two agents from the sec came in, and they took my mom for questioning.

What? Why?

Because they were accusing my mom and drew of insider trading.

How is that even possible?

Well, my mom bought shares from aurora, drew’s company, right before they were supposed to merge with elq. But thanks to ned quartermaine, the merger never happened, and my mom lost a ton of money, and she had to sell her half of the hotel. Nina bought it. Anyway, um… I guess my mom was getting inside information from drew.

Did the sec question drew?

No. Drew is off trying to save willow, but when he comes back– if he comes back– he’s gonna be in serious trouble.

How did drew manage to evade the sec?

Sonny.

I loved that we had a family wedding, even if the family was all yours.

Well, haven’t you been paying attention? It’s your family now too, mrs. Corinthos.

[Sighs] Of everyone who was there tonight… how many love you?

I mean, besides ned and tracy?

[Laughs] Okay. Uh, everyone, including ned and tracy.

How many love sonny?

Most of them.

How much overlap? How many love you and sonny, both?

Aside from, again, ned and tracy… everyone.

The rift between you and sonny affects them all because even if you’re right, and you are right, and sonny’s wrong, and I’m pretty sure they all know that, including kristina, they still love you both. They don’t wanna choose. So for their sakes, can’t you find a way to coexist with your father?

[Melancholic music]

[Sighs] There’s, um, something you don’t know, something I can’t keep from you anymore.

What is it?

Well, it’s better if I show you.

[Music darkens]


What did I just see?

[Sighs] My father accepting a delivery from a private military contractor.

I don’t understand.

Look, sonny made a deal with these people to illegally traffic weapons through port charles. Those are federal crimes, violations of the national security act. But this footage will send my father… to prison for the rest of his life.

Sonny made it look like drew left for maui.

That’s good news, right?

Yes and no. I mean, drew is free to help willow without the sec getting in his way, but getting help from sonny, it complicates things.

Because I’m working with your brother to take sonny down.

I prefer to call it “bringing him to justice.” I mean, he chose to break the law. And he’s ruined lives doing that. He has to suffer the consequences.

[Sighs] But then he sticks up for us like he used to do, and it reminds me that he’s just full of contradictions.

[Somber music]

Sonny does have impeccable timing.

What does that mean?

I got it tonight, the evidence that sonny’s moving shipments for pikeman.

Okay, well, what happens now?

That’s up to michael. I gave it to him, so I guess he’ll turn it over to the authorities?

And this will all be over?

That’s the hope.

Anna is my patient, and I have to take care of her.

Well, I’m trying to take–

[Whispering] I’m trying to take care of her too.

Then step aside and let me in.

I can’T.

[Sighs] Am I really gonna have to call security on robert scorpio?

Please. Look, elizabeth, there’s something going on. And I can’t give you any details ’cause it’s highly confidential. You gotta trust me on this.

[Groans] Brother. Ugh, too many martinis.

[Groaning]

[Unsettling music]

What the? Operator! Op–operator!

[Pants]

And there’s been no word from curtis or drew ever since they went to go find the “haunted star.”

Damn it, curtis.

[Groans] I’m sorry, portia. It’s–it’s hard enough worrying about trina, but now to have my brave but reckless son off on some foolhearted mission to take down some dangerous lunatic? What the hell was he thinkin’?

I’m grateful to curtis for going to find trina and for trying to bring her home. He saved trina’s life more than once, and–and I trust that he will be able to do that again. But I am terrified too.

Hmm, me too, ’cause curtis, man, curtis love his family above all else, and ain’t nothing gonna stop him. Nothing, especially to rescue a girl who might be his daughter.

[Grunts] All right. He oughta be out for a while.

I can’t believe you’re really here.

Trina, there’s no way I wasn’t gonna come for you.

Does my mom know you’re here?

Yeah, I left her a note. And no surprise, she’s worried about you.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry for all of this. I–I wish I could tell her myself. I–I–I just–

you will. You will, okay? Because I’m gonna get you outta here. Come on.

How? Victor has guards all over this place.

Yeah, well, remember, I have help. And we’re gonna get you, spencer, and the baby outta here safely and back home.

I haven’t seen spencer’s brother in, like, forever. A nanny’s with him, and spencer is having a lot of friction with the guards, one in particular really hates him.

Yeah, well, I just saw spencer.

You did?

Yeah.

Is he okay?

Actually he was more worried about you than his own safety.

Is he in trouble?

[Sighs] Right now I wanna get you off this boat, and I will come back for spencer, okay?

I’ll help you get him.

I cannot put you at risk like that, trina.

Spencer has helped me this entire time. I’m not leaving him.

Boy, you too. All right. You do exactly as I say. If I say run, you run like hell, okay?

Promise.

All right. Let’s go get spencer.

[Suspenseful music]

What’s the incentive of “getting my son back” when I’ve already got you?

I’m your captive. Call it off, victor. Let liesl, spencer, trina, the baby go home. You and I, we can work together to set the world to rights. We can pour money into scientific research, hire the most brilliant minds. Just think of everything we can achieve together with no lives lost, you and me, father and son.

The only way to save this planet is through drastic measures. As for my son, well, I was foolish enough to trust him once. I won’t make that mistake again.

All right, well, let spencer, trina, and the baby go. I will stay as your subject. Think of everything we can do with no innocent lives lost.

No one is innocent! We’re all responsible for the mess this planet’s in. But you can save yourself. Just give me the answers.

Okay, what answers?

I know you didn’t come here alone, valentin. There are others. Who are they and how many?

I came alone.

Does it trouble you to be so predictable?

Does it trouble you to be predictable?

All right, this is what’s going to happen. Liesl is going to infect you with the pathogen. Now we’re pressed for time, so she’s going to deliver it through an injection. The onset of symptoms should be, well, almost instantaneous, and then–then it just comes down to a waiting game. Now if you give me the answers I need, then we’ll give you the antidote, which we’re reasonably certain will be effective. But if, however, you die, then we’ll know we have more work to do, and fortunately, we have trina and spencer as backups. If you don’t give us the answers or you take too much time, then we’ll just test the antidote on them.

[Dramatic music]

All right, doctor. Let’s go make history.


This wasn’t staged. This wasn’t entrapment. Sonny is helping them smuggle arms and ordnance out of the country.

But why would he do that?

Money? I mean, they’re paying him a fortune.

But sonny’s wealthy already. How much money does he need?

I’m guessing it’s more than just money. Look, port charles is sonny’s territory. He decides what moves through it, and a deal with a major defense contractor like pikeman, it gives him power, it gives him leverage. They wanna move their merchandise out of the country. Sonny makes that happen. They don’t just owe him money. They–they owe him favors. Maybe they have a leverage of politicians, people who could be useful to sonny. Look, willow, this is my father’s business. This is what we don’t talk about. It’s what makes us targets. It’s what gets people killed.

How do you even have that video?

Somebody sent it to me.

That doesn’t make any sense. If someone obtained evidence of sonny breaking the law, why wouldn’t they take it to the police themselves?

Because that someone works for me.

[Ominous music]

You’ll be out from under sonny’s thumb. You won’t have to keep looking over your shoulder all the time, and we won’t have to worry that sonny’s gonna find out you’re working against him.

We can move forward with our lives.

Yeah. And sonny will spend the rest of his life behind bars? I mean, what if you go down with him? You were involved in the pikeman deal.

Michael might not even have to use my name.

Yeah, and if he does?

I should be able to cut a deal since I’m the one to turn the evidence over.

Okay. Is there any way that sonny gets out of this?

I don’t see how. He’ll be facing the full weight of the federal government. Baby, do you want him to get away with it?

[Tense music]

Robert, I do trust you, but I also have to do my job. If my supervisor sees that I haven’t filled in anna’s vitals, she’s gonna start asking questions.

Um, well, could you, uh, maybe tell your supervisor it’s a family emergency and, um, that your goldfish died?

[Sighs] Look. Can you just buy me a bit of time? Please. I’m beggin’ ya.

Operator, can you connect me to the wsb? It’s a matter of life and death.

[Groans]

What do you think? You think he’s had enough?

[Laughs]

Mm, guess not.

Hey! Leave him alone.

[Dramatic music]

What are you gonna do about it, sweetheart?

Is this absolutely necessary?

[Growls] Touché.

[Tense music]

Are you sure you want to do this? You could be signing your son’s death warrant.

Valentin made his choice. Just go.

He’s your son, victor.

Not anymore.


I’m sorry.

I know.

[Foreboding music]

This is insanity.

If you want to save your great-niece, you’ll see this experiment through.

How are you feeling, my boy?

How long until I’m dead, victor? You put a lot of work into this. It’d be a shame if it amounted to nothing.

Oh, I… I think you need a tissue.

[Eerie music]

 

All right, I’ll delay taking anna’s vitals.

[Exhales] Thank you.

You’ve got 30 minutes.

I’ll take it. I wanna get this sorted out as soon as possible.

Excuse me. Agent hursley. I’m with the wsb. I need to get into the room right away.

On what business?

That’s confidential. Excuse me.

Oh, hey, hey. You can’t just go in there.

Oh, hey, agent. I gotta talk to you.

Baldwin.

Where’s anna?

Elizabeth, scorpio drugged me because he doesn’t want me to talk to the wsb agent about victor’s biological weapon.

What? Is that true?

You idiot.

What?

Don’t you realize what you’ve just done? You’ve killed the woman you purported to love along with three hostages.

My father’s lieutenant, dex heller, he doesn’t work for my father. He works for me. I saw an opportunity to get somebody inside my father’s organization to gather evidence I could pass on to law enforcement. Dex found it. As soon as I give this footage to the justice department, look, sonny’s gonna be out of our lives for good.

What about the rest of your family? Your–your–your brother and your sisters?

They–they will be safe.

[Gasps]

I didn’t wanna tell you any of this until it was done. I didn’t want you to worry.

[Cries]

Willow? Oh! Willow! Willow! Hey! Willow! Talk to me. Willow!

Avery and donna are gonna be devastated when sonny goes to prison. And so will kristina.

I’m so sorry. The last thing I want is to hurt your family.

You didn’T. Sonny did. He just never thought he was gonna get caught, and now he has.

[Dark music]

Up until the nurses’ ball… all I could think about was how I messed things up with curtis and trina. And I wasn’t even sure if I’d be able to repair either relationship. But that seems like a lifetime ago.

Come on, girl. You’ve been through a lot.

It feels like it’s like one disaster has been put on hold for another one. But curtis… he was really there for me when I found out that trina was missing. And when trina called from the “haunted star,” she told me that she loved me.

[Sniffles] I thought I was never gonna hear those words from her again.

Of course. Of course she loves you. Trina gonna forgive you, just like curtis forgave me.

I don’t even care if she says one word to me ever again. I just want her home.

[Somber music] I just want her home safe. And curtis too. I would give anything– I would give anything for that to happen, but I’m stuck. I’m stuck here, and I can’t do anything to help my daughter.

I’m, uh–I’m gonna be right here for you however–however long it take. Come on. Come here. It’s gonna be all right.

Go get her!

Hey, not so fast.

[Grunts]

[Tense music]

[Groans] Ow!

[Grunts]

[Screams]

[Both grunting]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I’m really sorry about this. About what? Oh, you haven’t seen it? No. Is it about the price case? Well, indirectly, yes. Kissing cops out. Killer Sloan. Well, her too, but I was talking about lady whistleblower.

Hold it, hold it, hold it. Drop that fork. And let this wonderful spread get cold. $65 for breakfast. You send that back. I can’t. I already took a bite out of my brioche French toast. I ordered you some too. Here. Have a mimosa. It’ll calm you down. I don’t want a mimosa look. I’m, I’m sorry to sound like such a miser Leo, but.

Bloody hell what we’ve spent on this place in the last month. We might as well be living in a penthouse on Fifth Avenue. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you’re being ripped off. No kidding. And I know from having lived here with Zander, that management goes completely Tony Soprano on any guest that doesn’t pay promptly.

In fact, I’m expecting Phyllis to come up here and hunt me down and rip my fingernails off. Phyllis, she’s like four, 10 and 90 years old. And Mina, then a junkyard dog. No, we can’t keep living like this. Leo, I, I co-own a small paper. I’m not a, okay. Okay. I will. Downgrade to a single mimosa tomorrow. No, forget downgrading.

No more mimosas, no massages, no more spa, and no more room service. We need to find a new place to live asap, preferably somewhere where Phyllis will never, ever find me. I didn’t order anything else. I swear. Good Lord, that might be her. We need to hide it. Okay, let’s, let’s just relax. If it’s Phyllis, I, I won’t answer the door.

Doesn’t she have a key? No. I changed the locks on the sly. Who is it? Hey, it’s Alex.

Hi. Can we talk?

Wow. Well, this place does get a lot of light, doesn’t it? Yeah. And it doesn’t look over a parking lot like my room at the motel. That’s certainly a plus. It is though. I do just have to say what? Well, the last thing I expected was to be looking at apartments with you. Right. Sometimes the unexpected can be fun.

Right? And don’t you want that, you know, Phyllis off your back. Mm, definitely. That woman is a terrorist. Yeah. Well, in my opinion, this place is a seals, two bedrooms, light, airy, and the best part you get out of there. I can add that dump.

Oh, there she is, my beautiful daughter. Hey mama. Well, darling, you’ll be delighted to hear that I’ve made the decision to show the city hall appreciation by ordering Drum roll please. 200 Bear Claw. I’m sorry, mom. I. I can’t fill that order. Oh, well honey, honey, honey. There’s no rush on it. No. You know, maybe it’s too much work.

Well, um, how about those, uh, cinnamon twisted donuts? That, that Abe is so crazy about. What, what is it? Why you looking so sad? I, I can’t fill any order.

The department shut us down. Sweet bits is out of business.

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

Oh, baby mama. How can they do this without even warning you? Oh, they did, but we, we’ve been opening later, since it’s been slower and, well, they left a message, but I didn’t get it until just now. Oh, well this is so wrong and unfair and I’m, I’m going to give whoever made this terrible decision a piece of my mind.

No, mama, I don’t want you to do that. Well, we can’t do nothing. The bakery, I mean, this is your dream. You made it happen. And I’m not, I be, damn. I’m just gonna let somebody just trample on it. Oh yes. It was my dream and, and it was amazing while it lasted, but, Wait a minute, it’s over. The bakery is my shirt down for good, right?

This is just temporary until the investigation is resolved. Right? Until they prove Sloane Peterson drug, those biscuits. Then everybody will come flocking back to the best bakery in all of sale. The flake is crusted inside of Chicago. I, I appreciate your optimism, but I hope, uh, Uhuh. No buts. No buts. Now, now, I will not allow you to give up on sleep bits in your dream.

Now you hear me? I will not stand for it.

Jada, I understand why you’re angry with Leo Starkman. I am too. He’s a mean-spirited little creep, but this is Sloan. Sloan is the one who obviously leaked this story. She’s the one who saw us together, but Sloan also knows you were drugged, but of course it’s not mentioned anywhere in here. Yeah, right.

It’s a damn good thing. I disclosed everything to Abe before this story came out, and he knows the situation was beyond our controls. Obviously, he’s not gonna take any action against this, but my God. I cannot wait to throw the book at that bitch. You and me both. Oh, and you know what? Since this leak was obviously intended to go against the investigators, maybe I throw obstruction of justice onto her long list of charges.

Well, assuming she’s the one that committed these crimes, wait, you’re still not thinking that this could have been your sister?

The warm water nested all of two seconds and the towers were scratchy as hell. Guess you get what you pay for, right?

What are you reading, lady Whistleblowers column. Check it out today. Um, I’m actually not a fan and I’m surprised you are. I wouldn’t call myself a fan, but I do read it from time to time and she kind of does have a finger on the post. Hey, wait, what? Isn’t that your sister? Oh my God.

I assume talk is a euphemism for a whole lot of not talking, which is a euphemism for Leo. Make yourself disappear. Mm, you do catch on quickly, don’t you darling? I’m known for that, so no worries. I will take my champagne to go and I’ll start hunting for an apartment two bedrooms this time. Watch out for Phyllis.

Hmm. Phyllis and I get along just fine. It’s you. She can’t stand What? She’s a crush on me. She thinks of you as the competition. She does not. She does.

Who’s Phyllis? It’s not important. Oh, this is such nice place. Ah, yeah. Gwen, I actually. Didn’t want to talk. Hi. Okay, look, I know this may seem sudden, but I don’t think it’s a good idea that we see each other anymore.

There’s gotta be a catch. I mean, work, workout room, utilities included. Price is crazy low for what we’re getting, what we are getting. I haven’t agreed to anything yet. Come on, Chloe. Can’t wait around forever. Place like this is gonna go fast. Yeah, I know. I just don’t like being rushed into major life decisions.

I need to see more like what’s the water pressure like in the shower. That’s a good point. I’ll get check and I’m gonna check for mold. Good idea.

Brady, Chloe. What are you doing? What are you doing here?

I’m looking at this place for myself and Rachel. What are you doing here? While I’m looking for an apartment too, the Salem end keeps raising their rates since I stopped working. I think this is a two bedroom. It is. So if you’re cutting costs, why? Why would you need all this extra space for your, so I see we take it.

What the hell is this?

You are breaking up with me. Well, I wouldn’t put it like that. Well, how would you put it? One, I’m just suggesting that maybe we stop sleeping together. I see. And any particular reason or Actually, yeah. I, um, had a meeting with Dr. Evans this morning, a whole nother session with her. I’ve had a few now, and she’s made me understand that this whole thing going on between you and I is actually part of my.

Unhealthy pattern. Mm-hmm. And hey, look, G, you’re hot as hell. I’m so attracted to you. You’re smart, you’re funny, you’re beautiful. I’m in your accent. Your accent. I love your accent. I can literally feel it. Come on, come on, come on. Just stop the gushing. I’m not gushing, I’m being sincere here. And trust me, this is gonna be harder for me than you know.

You know, walking away from quitting booze or, or smoking or any other vice for that matter. Oh, I’m a vice now. That’s lovely. No, nope. That’s not what I meant. Look, I, I decided to lean into this whole no strings sex thing after I screwed things up with Stephanie. And then after speaking with Dr. Evans, she made me realize that it’s not the right way or the best way to handle things.

I’m actually just avoiding facing my feelings now. I’m using you to do that, and that’s not cool, you know? No, I don’t know. No. Do I mind being used? Oh, well maybe you should. Guas isn’t healthy. Hey, hey, this isn’t healthy for either of us. I want better for you. I think you should want better for yourself too.

Look at that is just so freaking unfair. I mean, Jada did tell me that the commissioner ate one of those tainted biscuits, but he only kissed her because he was high. Yeah. No mention of that. Yeah, and that’s what makes it unfair. I felt terrible. I mean, Jada, she works so hard at her job and now this and, and what if she found out her own sister was behind all of this?

You are not to blame for this. Okay. Yeah. And how can you say that I’m the one who infused those biscuits? Only because Chanel tore my family apart and she needs to pay for it. For being a home wrecker, a murderer. It’s called justice. You are just writing a wrong and you’re doing it out of love. All right.

And I, I love you, Foria.

You do know that, don’t you? Yeah, I do. And honestly, I’m thinking that this whole lady whistleblower thing, That’s done us a favor. You know where the cops distracted? Maybe it’s time to turn up the heat on Chanel

mama. I know you’re just trying to lift my spirits. Lift your spirits. Oh, no, no, no. I’m trying to make you see that your spirits have no business not being up there already. Because I’ll be damned if Sweet Bits is done. Now, does that health inspector know that your stepfather is the mayor of this time?

Mama, please, please do not drag Abe into my mess. Our mess. Okay, that’s too late now. You just sit there. You don’t go anywhere,

babe. What do you mean turn up the heat? It’s probably Chanel. Wondering where the hell I am. Hi, I am so sorry that I’m late. Oh no. Uh, don’t worry about it. We’ve been shut down by the health department, so the baker’s closed. Oh no. Yeah. I was calling to tell you not to come in. Um, are you sure There’s nothing I can do.

Thanks. But now until we get to the bottom of this, there is nothing anyone can do.

You know, it’s, it’s still eating at me that Talia had the means and the opportunity to tamper with those SCUs. Mm-hmm. But still no motive whatsoever. Yeah, but her story just kept coming out in pieces. Oh, hey sis. Sorry. I forgot that I stopped by the drugstore. Oh, I forgot that I took a long walk around the lake.

You know, if I didn’t know her, you know, between her lack of an alibi, the fact that she forgot to turn on the security cameras. Mm-hmm. And not to mention she’s one of the very few people with a key to the bakery. Yeah. But she didn’t have keys to Paulina’s office. And that vandalism was most certainly committed by the same perp unless they had an accomplice.

Oh mm honey. Like you wouldn’t believe and it’s just like moving down like to my shoulder. Oh my God, lemme help out. You know what, second thought. Better not. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe not.

Abe is in a meeting with the DA at the police station. I’m gonna have to go over there and track him down myself. Oh mama, I, hold on. Look. You know you’re gonna just have to stop with the mamas right here cause there’s no way you’re gonna stop with your mama from doing what is right for my baby girl. Do you think that I haven’t had any obstacles becoming a successful businesswoman or getting on the ballot for governor or Abe on the way to becoming mayor?

Now, this is just a roadblock. You’re gonna have to push yourself through Chanel darling, and you will, if I have to push you myself. Oh, mom, if you would’ve just let me finish what I was saying. You wouldn’t have had to give that speech because I’m coming with you. Oh, that’s my girl. Oh. Oh. Now you can come over and watch me take that health inspector head off at city Hall.

Okay. As entertaining as uh, sounds. There’s something else I wanna do

since we have to keep our distance. I thought this was the next best thing. Thanks. Yeah. Just overheard in the bullpen where Riley went to get his morning coffee at Sweet Bits. Mm-hmm. Health Department shut him down. I don’t know. Yeah, that’s sad for Chanel, but maybe this will force Talia to get that crazy idea out of her head to become the next cake boss.

Mean maybe she can use her medical training to actually, you know, save lives. But once she gets an idea in her head, she cannot be deterred. Unlike her sister. Huh? How long you been staring at that file? Uh, I’m just looking at the timeline. I’ll see if there’s something in here that what we might have missed.

Alright. Okay. Well if you find anything, I’ll be in my office. Mm-hmm.

You think you’re not good enough for me? Hey. The rich, handsome Alex, Kiki. I did not say that at all. I just, I need to do some soul searching. I think you do too. Yeah. I’m not really a fan of soul searching, so No. But, um, thank you. Anyway. Come on. Come on. I’ve gotta know you pretty damn well. Even though all these people think you’re this tough, heartless woman, I know that deep down you’re really just heartbroken.

And that’s because of what happened with my cousin Zander. You only jumped into bed with me because, um, he wanted to make him jealous. Am I right?

I admit that maybe in the beginning that was my motivation, but now

I couldn’t care less about Sandra anymore, and maybe not on a conscious level, but that is only because you are afraid of dealing with your feelings and I’m doing the same thing. Okay. And yes, the sex releases, these chemicals in the brain, these neurochemicals, one of which is a dopamine. It, it, it promotes this feeling of, uh, euphoria and, and, and satisfaction and reward.

Hang on. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hang on. Um, did you get your medical degree in these very few sessions that you had with Dr? No. No, I did not. But she did open my eyes to quite a few things and, uh, Yeah, I’ve been reading some articles, some articles. Oh, I see. Am I wrong? Are we not using sex as a distraction? I

honestly, I haven’t. I haven’t thought about it, and I would really rather not think about it now. Why Quiet. Go ahead. Go on. Come on, come on. I’m just trying to have an honest conversation with you here. That’s the one thing we haven’t done since we started sleeping together.

Okay, fine.

Okay. Under the heading of honesty and sun searching,

I am heartbroken. Yes.

Because

as much as I have tried to get over Zander,

It isn’t easy, is it?

It’s

you two are moving in together. That’s right. Sanders stop. We’re just gonna be roommates. That’s all. You know, that I’m having financial issues could have come to me. All right? But really you, you’re gonna go to this guy, this guy Do I have to remind you, this is the guy that who lefts of a Mexican drug, Lord s Brady Raw, very aware of that.

But Chlo and I have moved on. Haven’t we left? Will, I haven’t moved on from it, which is why I don’t understand what you think about moving in with this guy, CLO. How many times do I have to tell you Zander and I are friends? No, I’m gonna tell you right now, he is not your friend. Yes, he is. Yes I am. He’s been there for me.

I haven’t been there for you. Well, I sure as hell didn’t know that you were moving and you didn’t know that I was moving either because we haven’t spoken in date. I, I know I, I did. I didn’t think you wanted to hear from me. I didn’t wanna hear that. You’re better off without me or something else that’s gonna make me feel worse than I already do.

I couldn’t. Why would I say I’m better off without you? It’s the furthest thing from the truth. Chloe, wake up thinking about you. I go to sleep thinking about you. I miss you so much. It’s crazy, huh? That’s enough. Brady. Can’t you see? You’re upset, Sam. You need to stay the hell out of this man. All right, well, well, what do we have here?

A Neanderthal athon, lady whistleblower smells a story.

So you admit that you are not over zander. He broke your heart just like Stephanie broke yours. And I don’t think that you are over. Hera. What? Why? Why are you bringing her into this? Stephanie and I are history, except now that we know that my Aunt Kayla is indeed alive. It means that you did not deprive her the chance to say goodbye to her mother.

No. Well, apparently not, but trust me when I tell you this has nothing to do with that. Come on. Alex. Do you honestly mean to tell me that there isn’t even a small part of you that feels that the two of you can’t just reignite that spark again?

Absolutely not. That ship has sailed. Stephanie’s with Chad now, and I highly doubt that she will ever. Look in my direction again.

One, this has nothing to do with any other woman. This has everything to do with realizing that my life is a mess and I just need to get back on track. I gotta move forward. Not back.

And I think you might feel the same way.

I wish I could say I could.

Leo Stark. What the hell are you doing here? Uh, same thing as you, I assume looking for an apartment. For me and Gwen, actually, I’m gonna check out the rest of the place. Whoa. Whoa. Wait. So the three of you are planning on moving in together. How progressive of you? It’s not the three of us together yet.

Idiot. Chloe and I are looking for a place to share and the two of us. Ah. Right. So Brady, you just decided to show up and do some performative chest beating? No, Leo, it’s on your business, but I’m looking for a place for myself and my daughter. And her name, please, if you could just spell it for me. Well, why don’t I just introduce your ass to the door?

Fine. We’ll just refer to her as the Demonn Seed from hell. Son, you are familiar. Remember? Hey, your work here is done. Ah,

detective Hunter. Um, I’m looking for my husband. His assistant said he was here. Oh, I’m sorry Ms. Price, you just missed him. Damn. Uh, I guess I’m gonna have to go back to City Hall Hunt. I’m that health inspector myself. I heard about what happened at the bakery. Such a shame. It’s just a temporary situation.

I assure you. You do not have to worry about your sister’s employment. Oh, I’m not. Actually, if you could spare a few minutes, Ms. Price, I was actually just about to call you. I’ve been reviewing your statement regarding when your office was broken into, and I was hoping you could just answer a few more questions.

Why do you have a new lead? I’m not sure yet.

Commissioner Chanel. Come on in. I, uh, I haven’t really had a chance to talk to you since, uh, the incident at the bakery. And, um, well, actually I did when Talia and I came back over here to go over our stories. My, I, I wanted to tell you that I, I’m really sorry that my bake goods put you in the hospital. I appreciate it.

But you have nothing to apologize for. I mean, if you do, it’s simply that those biscuits are so damn good. I mean, I hate so many of them. That’s why I had such a severe reaction to the drug, Sam. Right. Uh, and that’s, that’s really kind of you to say. It’s just, I, I just wish I knew how it happened. Well, we are working hard on trying to find that out.

Hey, and when we arrest someone, you’ll be the first to know, thanks.

Oh my God,

they shut the freaking bakery down. This just gets better and better. Babe, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, and as I’ve said before, I wouldn’t impose this on you. If there was any way that I could do this myself, it’s just the cops would be onto me in a heartbeat. I know.

I know we’ve been a horn a thousand times, but Colin isn’t destroying Chanel’s business revenge enough. How can it be enough? Talia, you’ve been there with me when I’ve woken up from horrible nightmares. You’ve seen me cry and scream and get crazy depressed, or cuz of what that little slut took from me and my sister, which is why I’m not gonna rest until I make her feel the same kind of misery that she put me and my sister fruit.

You. You’re not talking about killing someone. No. No. I’m not a murderer. Unlike Chanel. I know, but this whole eye for an eye thing, it kind of seems like, you know, listen to me. All right. And listen. Good. Before that bitch killed my mother. She broke her heart when she went for my father. So now it’s time to see how she likes having her heart broken.

She’s already had her heart broken, her ex cheated on her, and then moved to a different continent, which is why it’s the perfect time for you to swoop in and sweep her off her feet, and then break her little heart all over again.

Please have a seat.

And now Ms. Price, I’ve been reviewing the timeline of events. And it seems that the day your office had broken into was the same day that Sloan Peterson found out that her civil case had business missed. That’s right. She threatened to come after me extra judicially, and about an hour later, my office was vandalized.

Coincidence, I think not well. I agree. The timing is suspicious, but what I’m struggling with is that there was no signs of forced entry. Whoever broke into your office that day had a key and I was the only one who had one. Is there a chance that there might have been a duplicate, an employee, perhaps?

Mm-hmm. Nope. I’m a one woman show after my former employee, Leo Stark turned out to be a dumpster fire, and that’s a kind way of putting it. I’m, I’ve been using contractors and outsourcing work well in that case. Um, have your keys ever been left unattended? Um, perhaps someone else have gained access to your key.

You mean Sloan Peterson? Anyone? Well, I suppose it could have been Sloan Peterson. Uh, the day she confronted me, my bag was laying on the table at the cafe. Oh. It was when, uh, Chanel introduced me to your lovely sister. Wait, Talia was there.

You want me to,

what’s the problem? She’s into women. You’re a woman. Yeah, but I’m not gay. I’m not eating. Bye. Hey, all I really want is just you. At least that’s what I thought you wanted too, but it seems like you’re trying to pit me out. No, no, not at all. I only want you to at least won’t be real. At least not for us.

Chanel. On the other hand, she’s gonna fall head over heels for you cuz how could anyone not

more, you’ll commit a crime for me, but you won’t kiss a girl. It is more than she’s kissing. You’re asking me to lead her on and then. Break her heart. I don’t want you to ride off into the sunset with her. Do I? Since you are already spoken for

what now?

I don’t know, Colin. I I don’t think I can do this. You know how important this is to me, don’t you? 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? Of course. I love you. Great. And I know you’ll pour through for me.

Henry, he got so tall, I could barely recognize him. Allie sent you this? Yeah. And Allie, she, she looks great. Happy. Wow. The ocean behind them. It’s so beautiful. Did she say how she’s liking New Zealand? She said it was a little awkward at first, but she’s feeling more comfortable now. Did she say what she’s up to?

Yeah. You know, I’m just dumb working, meeting people. Meeting people as in seeing someone.

Um, you don’t have to say anything else. I’m gonna go now. Chanel. Thanks. No, Chanel. Chanel,

oops. You are here to humper an apartment, not chronicle Our love lives are light thereof. Uh, relax. No one is interested in your Three’s company remake. I was just giving you a hard time. My, what a lovely apartment it is. Could use a little work, but I’m as much a magician with interior design as I am with a pen.

Yeah. Gwen’s definitely gonna wanna see this. Hey, Gwen’s gonna be wasting her time. Chloe and I were here first. We’re taking it. We are. You’re not even gonna ask her what she thinks. Well, you already said you liked it. And since I’m footing the bill, I thought I’d make it the decision, you know? Hmm. Sounds like you’re a kept woman now, kept woman.

Why would you tell people that you’re footing the bill? I’m sorry. I just, he just blurt out things without thinking them through. And no, Brady, I am not a kept woman. I will pay my own way when I’m able to. Which I will happily do because I love this place. It is perfect. So when I get a job, I’m gonna pay half the rent for this terrific apartment.

So yes, Xander, we are taking it.

You decent? I saw Alex walking out. I assume that meant it was safe to come up. Nothing to see here or not to see you? Fine. Oh, quickie today, huh? Actually, not even that. Alex came over here to dump me. What is he? Crazy. Hey, vent jerk. Just dumped the classiest, sexiest, smartest, funniest woman. Stop, stop, stop.

Mad. Maddie, please. It was so sweet and I know you just tried to make me feel better, but I just really, really don’t wanna talk about it. Tell me about the flat. Um, is he gonna work for us, please? I’ve could really use a pick meal. Well, it was amazing actually, but unfortunately somebody got to it before we did.

Speaking of which Bunnie, I know this is a terrible time to bring this up given what just happened with Alex, but it’s something you need to know and you’re gonna find out anyway. So, oh, Lordy, what is it now?

Xander is shacking up with Chloe Lane

Brady. Hey. I thought you left with Xander and Leo. Obviously I came back. I, uh, kind of wanted to talk to you alone.

Do we really have anything left to talk about? Yeah, I think we do. See, I love you. I love you and in spite of everything that’s conspired to keep us apart, Chloe, I think you might still love me too.

And I think it’s very strange that we ended up here in this place today. Call it fate, but I think it would be a really big mistake for you to get involved with Sandra and I, I, I just don’t wanna see it happen.

My sister was with you and Chanel when Sloane confronted you. Hmm. Oh, and I liked her from the moment I met her and what a God send she is at the bakery. She even helped me through my panic attacks when I thought I was having a cardiac event. Oh, she knows. Very lucky to have someone like that. Knock on her.

Yeah. So what else you wanna know?

Hi. Hey. I thought that was bakery girls room.

Hey, I, I thought I told you you didn’t have to come in today just seeing how you were doing. I know you said you were fine, but you seemed to really stress over the phone. That’s that’s really sweet of you. And, um, but honestly, I, I’m just, I’m not doing well at all and it, it’s not even just the health department this day just keeps getting worse.

I’m so sorry.

Maybe I can make you feel better.

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: Hey, I came home from the hospital as soon as I could. Glad you survived your visit with sheila.

Steffy: She’s in prison, finn, we don’t have to be afraid anymore.

Finn: Still. I was just… I was worried about you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: How’d it go?

Steffy: It was incredible. It was everything I needed and more, just being able to see her squirm behind bars where she belongs.

Sheila: Well, there must have been a part of you that was happy to hear from me, or else you wouldn’t be here. I’m right. Aren’t I, jack? You’re as lonely as I am. Okay, wait, stop. Just stop. I needed to see you because you criminal defense attorneys in all of california. I need you to help me, jack.

Bill: I want our life back.

Wyatt: Hey, we didn’t see katie’s car in the driveway. I– I thought she was staying over for lunch.

Liam: Yeah.

Bill: She just left.

Wyatt: Already?

Bill: Yeah.

Wyatt: Oh, no, I’m sorry.

Liam: Didn’t go the way you hoped, huh? Shoot.

Carter: Look who’s back.

[ Katie sighing contentedly ]

Katie: Yeah. Sorry about the late lunch. Wouldn’t wanna upset my handsome C.O.O.

Carter: C.O.O. Understands that unpredictable circumstances come up from time to time.

Katie: Yeah, unpredictable.

Carter: So, how’d it go with bill?

Bill: Who says I struck out?

Liam: Uh, no, well, j– just figured since, you know, katie already left.

Bill: Okay, danny downer and his brother dirk.

[ Liam snorting ]

Wyatt: Why dirk?

Bill: Anyway, I didn’t expect katie to move in here and just resume our life right away. But I don’t think that day is too far off.

Carter: Well, first, I wanna tell you that I appreciate you for being open with me about your date with bill.

Katie: Can we please stop calling it a date? It was not a date. And I will never keep secrets from you. Honestly, I’m not surprised that bill wants me back.

Carter: Well, look at you, katie. I’m not surprised either.

Katie: He always wants me when he thinks he can’t have me. He says that he misses me and misses our life together.

Carter: And what about you? Do you feel the same way?

Finn: I know how you feel.

Steffy: But you’re not thrilled that I paid sheila a visit?

Finn: Especially by yourself? I could’ve gone with you, steffy.

Steffy: And make sheila’s dreams come true? Her precious son goes to see his psychopath birth mom. No way, we– we cannot give her that satisfaction. I love you for being concerned, but sheila has no power over us anymore.

Sheila: It means a lot that you came to see me.

Jack: Don’t flatter yourself, sheila. You wanna know why I’m here?

Sheila: Oh, you were intrigued by my suggestive emails?

Jack: No. I need to tell you in person to leave me alone, sheila. I want nothing to do with you. So, stop writing, stop sending me emails. Do you understand me? Do I make myself clear?

These are the people, who help you stay well.

Liam: Well, I gotta say, dad, I’m hearing a lot of confidence.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, you do sound pretty convinced that you and katie are gonna get back together.

Bill: Gotta have a little faith in life, wyatt.

Liam: This is true. This is true. They did get to have lunch together, I mean–

Bill: Well, she didn’t actually stay for the meal, but I’m telling you, katie was moved. I could feel it.

Wyatt: Oh, you guys got a nice stroll down memory lane.

Bill: Yeah. Memories that, uh, katie will never forget. I mean, that’s what she said.

Liam: Well, of course, yeah, your relationship had challenges, but look at all the good stuff. You got will out of it, you know.

Bill: A son that will bond us forever.

Wyatt: Exactly.

Liam: What about carter? ‘Cause it kind of seems like those two are serious.

Bill: Katie definitely cares about him, which doesn’t discourage me, but I know that I have a battle on my hands.

Carter: Do you feel the same way as bill?

Katie: Hmm. My feelings for bill aren’t simple. No, they’re complicated. I won’t lie about that. He’s the father of my son. We have a long history. Some of that history is good. Some of that history is not so good. I mean, I’d gotten to the point where I had lost all faith in bill.

Carter: Then he surprises all of us by putting sheila carter in prison.

Katie: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he– he frustrates me to no end, and then he does something brave and he sacrifices himself, puts himself in danger so that sheila can be locked up for the rest of her life.

Steffy: Then sheila’s exactly where she’s supposed to be.

Finn: Well, finally.

Steffy: I mean, you should have seen her. She looked so small, in every sense of the word, like her smug bravado, gone. She just looked sad and helpless, and she should. She’s gonna die in that place.

Finn: I wonder if reality has sunk in yet.

Steffy: Well, she’s gonna have to find a way to accept her fate because there is nothing and no one that can get sheila out of there.

Sheila: You’re my only hope.

Jack: I’m not anything to you, sheila.

Sheila: That’s not true. I can’t accept that you don’t want to see me anymore. It’s like I said, I see the loneliness in your eyes, jack. It’s okay. I mean, you– you can talk to me. I know things haven’t been easy for you lately.

Jack: [ Chuckles ] That’s an understatement. Li won’t even return my calls since she found out about our affair, that you’re finn’s birth mother. My marriage is basically dead. And my relationship with finn is not the same as it was.

Sheila: I’m sorry.

Jack: You save that. I don’t want to hear that from you. Not with all the unspeakable things that you’ve done. You shot our son, you shot finn.

Sheila: That was an accident. You’ve got to believe that, because I love finn more than my own life. He is a remarkable, amazing man and he’s the best thing that you and I have ever done. Our son, jack. Our son. (Music throughout)

Liam: You know, I– I’ve gotten to know carter pretty well over the years. So has wyatt.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, he’s a pretty good guy.

Bill: I don’t disagree. I have no personal beef with carter.

Liam: Except that you’re both into the same woman.

Bill: Uh-huh. Now, for all the criticism I get, carter’s not perfect either.

Liam: I’m not saying– that’s not what I– did I say that? I’m not– no, nobody’s– nobody’s flawless. I’m just– I’m just saying–

Bill: Well, well, listen, kid, she’s pretty damn close. She is a living angel. And right now she has her walls up with me and I– I can’t blame her. I hurt her and I regret that more than I can say, but I will prove to her that she is the only woman for me, and she’ll be my katie again.

Carter: Did he call you his katie?

[ Katie laughs ]

Katie: Oh, he said a lot of things. And I’m– I’m gonna be totally honest with you. He tried to kiss me. I wouldn’t let him because I didn’t want to, because of you. Because of us.

Carter: Us. I love that word.

Katie: Me too. We actually talked about you quite a bit.

Carter: I’m sure he was really excited about that.

Katie: He loved– he loved it. Yeah, I told him that you were um, you were kind and you were caring and funny and– and best of all– best of all, you’ve never fallen for my sister.

Carter: That is true. That’s a– a score one for me.

Katie: Yeah, that’s a gold star. I wanted him to know how important you are to me and how good you make me feel. I want you to know how much you mean to me.

Carter: I have a pretty good idea.

Katie: Good guy.

Steffy: How was your visit with your mom?

Finn: It was good to touch base with her.

Steffy: You tell her where I went?

Finn: I did, and to say that she was shocked, would be an understatement.

Steffy: Maybe li and i should pay sheila a visit. Could you imagine sheila having to face that? She’d probably go crying back to her cell.

Finn: My mom’s another one of sheila’s victims.

Steffy: Finn, your mom could have died.

Finn: What now? No, it’s– it’s more than that. I mean, what sheila and my dad did before I was born. Like that affair and that– that secret finally coming out. My mom is a strong woman, but I know how much that shattered her faith in my father.

Sheila: Jack, you’re alone, a broken man. Your son doesn’t respect you. Li has shut you out. You have nothing.

Jack: Why would i listen to you?

Sheila: Because I understand. You know, the next time you are feeling down and alone, I just want you to think back to that night where finn was conceived and how much we loved one another and the life that we could have had. We… we still can.

Jack: This is it, sheila. This is your life. You confessed to murder. They’re never gonna let you out of here.

Sheila: I just want you to remember. Just remember us and how good we were together. And it wasn’t just about passion and sex, a filthy fling. No, it was a lot more than that. You know it was. You said so. You told me you loved me and I loved you too. I’m barbara and I’m fromst. Joseph, michigan.

Finn: I worry about my mom.

Steffy: Why?

Finn: She’s just– she’s still so angry at my dad. I– she hasn’t been able to find any forgiveness at all and not– not for his sake, but just, you know, for herself so she could move forward.

Steffy: Yeah, but what about you? How do you feel? I mean, you don’t really talk about jack that much.

Finn: Honestly, I don’t know how I feel about him. There’s a lot of confusing emotions. I mean, on one hand, I mean, I’m– I’m hurt that he would keep such a huge secret from me and my mom all these years. He owed it to us to tell the truth.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. He did.

Finn: But then, on the other hand, my dad was an incredible father. You know, I was always loved and appreciated and supported in every single way. It’s just my parents and I, we were so close, and when I think about my mom learning that my dad cheated on her. And the child that they adopted, me, was his son from an affair and it’s something that he knew about all these years and kept secret. I mean, what kind of man does that? I mean, it’s no surprise my mom is so upset and hurt. It makes us both question everything, you know? And it makes me wonder how close were sheila and my dad all those years ago.

Steffy: But finn, if that affair hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have you. And I wouldn’t have hayes. I’m sorry about what you’re going through but just know, I am with you every step of the way.

Sheila: What we shared was more than just one night. We loved one another. You were hungry for me. You couldn’t get enough of me. But you were married and we had to hide our affair while I carried your child inside of me. Our child. Do you remember the very first time you came to see me after I had finn? How much I wanted you? I wanted you to be my husband. I wanted you to marry me. I was so excited about what could be. The joy and it where– where things could go, but you didn’t want to leave your wife. You didn’t want to hurt her. So I– I gave you our son. You and li adopted our son. And now all these years later, your marriage to li is over and your relationship with finn is irrevocably damaged.

Jack: That’s true. But look at you, sheila. Look around, look where you are.

Sheila: Yeah, you’re right. I want you to take a look around, locked up in this filthy place. You know life has turned into a very lonely, shallow existence for both of us. And yet here we– we are yet again, face to face. We can make something good out of this and we had that magic before, jack. We can do it again.

Jack: Not on your life. Don’t email me, don’t try to contact me. I’ll never see you again, sheila. Hear me? Never. Guard, let me out.

Guard: I’ll be back for you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good. You are here. Can I rush over as soon as I got your message, you said it was a matter of life and death. It.

Oh my God, Roman, he didn’t do it. Bo didn’t shoot her. This could mean that that Kate is alive. But where in the hell is she worse than my wife? What’s, where did she go? I wish I had an answer for your Uncle Roman, but the ISA scoured that entire compound and the surrounding areas. So while I can’t tell you where Kate is, I can tell you with absolute certainty, she is not on that island.

I wonder what will be the first thing I do when I get home. I’ll take a long hot bath.

How can I be back here again? It has to be some kind of cosmic joke. I mean, seriously, like a comic kick in the ass. I mean, I’m not such a bad person, am I? Ugh, nevermind. Do an answer that I, I know I haven’t always been a saint, but really this and this filthy, disgusting ship. Decapitating Nemo, I don’t deserve this.

Why is this happening to me? Why is this always happening to me?

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

what’s going on? Are you nervous about seeing your uncle be. No, it’s not that. I was actually just thinking about Harris Michaels and how I ripped into him at the lab yesterday. Yeah, it’s understandable. He knew your parents’ lives were in danger and he didn’t say anything. I know, but when we ran into him at the hotel, he was so contrite and apologetic.

Not that I’m excusing what he did, but do you think I was too hard on him? No. I thought you were beautifully polite. Thanks to you. You reminded me that he saved us from Thomas Banks, but, but what? He still sent hope to that villain, knowing how dangerous Bud was. I mean, he’s damn lucky that more people didn’t get hurt.

Yeah. And I think he knows that. And he’s obviously beating himself up pretty hard over everything that happened. Sean, I ran into your mother a little while ago. Yeah. We made her come over here to take a shower, which is what I’m here to do too. Any, uh, any change in your father’s condition?

Still in a coma. The, uh, the doctor said that, They don’t know when or or if he’s ever gonna come outta it.

I’m sorry. No. You know what? Don’t be. Look what happened to my father. It’s, it’s my fault. No, it’s not. It’s mine. Okay. Wait a minute. So this is the life and death situation that you had me come over here. That, that, that Stephan hired Gabby at Damira. Ugh. Have you ever tried working with Gabby Hernandez?

Not only is she insulin and classless and altogether infuriating, she’s trying to steal my company. Alright. Okay, so what did s Stephan hired Gabby to do? Oh, she’s been given this frustratingly vague title of consultant and told to eliminate inefficiencies. In other words, to eliminate me. How could she do that?

Well, first thing on her ridiculous agenda is to evaluate my performance. Obviously, their plan is to convince the board that I need to go. Have you heard anything so happily absurd? Gabby Hernandez is going to appraise me as if that as if the useless interloper could possibly comprehend the myriad of ways that my near presence at Dira improves its worth.

This is madness Bell utter utter madness. Okay, so this is about Stephan’s mental state, right? You have some concerns about some lingering issues with his brainwashing. That would be endangering dira. That’s good. That’s very, very good. We could use that if we need to. But for starters, I want you to go through the, uh, company bylaws and, um, See if there’s any loopholes, anything I can use to eliminate Gabby, and could you possibly get started on that today?

I cannot believe that this is what you had me rush over here for.

I was on my way to the courthouse when you called, and I had to explain to my client and a very unfriendly judge that I had to reschedule today’s proceedings for a personal emergency. And, and you lied to me. You said this was life and death. How does Stephan giving Gabby a job come anywhere near that?

It’s about far more than just Job Bell. It’s about protecting what my father built. Safeguarding my children’s inheritance, their legacy, the stakes could not be higher. Right. My family’s company is hanging by a threat. Oh, is your family’s company in the I C U? I bet you. Pardon? My husband is dealing with a real life and death situation where an actual human being could die.

What are you talking about? What happened to Sean? No. Please like you care. Belle, please tell me, tell me what happened. Bell, please tell me Sean accidentally shot his father and put him in a coma.

I know. Did you blame yourself for what happened to your father? But I’m the one who set this whole thing all. We don’t need to go over this again. I just want you to, I want you to see that what went down in Victor’s place. Was a direct result of my actions. I put you and your mom on that cliff and I’m responsible for what happened because when I saw Bo in the villa, I could tell that something was off.

And the way he was talking about your mother and urging me not to tell her yeah, that he was because he was brain, he was armed, and I sent hope by herself. Okay. You’ve already explained yourself, alright. Yeah. I just wanna say that I’m sorry and I was selfish and I was wrong, and if I would’ve told your mother sooner or going to the villa with her.

Outcome would’ve been different.

Everything would’ve would’ve been different.

Well, I am gonna go tell hope. She’s going to be so relieved. Roman, I’m so happy for you, man. Oh man. Sure, no worries. Not only is my wife alive, but my brother doesn’t have to live with the guilt that he took her from it. He’d never forgive himself if he knew he took her life. Yeah. You know, as thrill as I am that Kate is alive, we still have no idea where she went, but I will search this damn planet for her.

I’m with you, man. Sam here. All right, good. Let’s put our heads together then. Make a plan to find my wife. Let’s do it. Did my life beat anymore crazy?

One moment being held at gunpoint by a reincarnated ovary. The next moment I’m in the middle of Mediterranean. Chopping up. An endless pile of fish. I really hope you’re enjoying this because I’m not.

Maybe I gotta take a, some more Buddhist. Approach, recognizing that suffering is everywhere, and if I am accept it and go, Mr. Wayer, be free of it. Kate, so this is your life. Accept it. Let it go. Oh, screw it. Hello. How is anyone out there? Is anyone out there? Could you please help me get out here please? I need to get outta this boat.

Please help me please.

Oh my.

Yes, guys, we’ll be home very soon, okay? Just be good for Doug and Julie, okay? Yes, I know that. I know you are always good. I love you both very much.

Stephanie does too. Okay? We’ll be back before you know it. Okay. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye. Kick back.

I mean, I just call an hour ago. I was friends. I keep calling. I obviously miss you. Chad, if you wanna go back to Salem. No, we, they’re well cared for by Doug and Julie. They’re probably being spoiled actually, and I told them we’d be home soon. I want to be here with you. Are you sure? 100%. Thank you so much for all of your support through all of this.

You have no idea how much he means to me.

Let’s go see your uncle. Yeah. Hey. No, I, I’m just coming out to call you. Is everything okay mom? It’s better than okay. It’s, it’s really incredible news. Fos Wait. Well, no, but he, he did squeeze hope’s hand a little while ago. That’s amazing. Yeah. Yeah. It’s encouraging for sure. But this news is not really about Bo.

It’s about Kate. Kate, yeah. Yeah. I didn’t kill her. She’s alive. Chad Kate’s.

Okay, first question. How did Kate get off that island? Well, she couldn’t have escaped by a plane. The only aircraft there was the jet that you and John chartered. Anyone else would’ve had to leave by boat. Well, we know that Ralf escaped on a boat. They found it in the port of Athens and the boat took a similar boat when he left with Kayla.

Kate, were there any other boats on that island? Not that we saw, but there was a space in the lap Marina for a third boat. That’s gotta be how Kate left. Agreed Bus. You know, Bo released her weeks ago. Where in the hell she been all this time? And why hasn’t she contacted someone?

I need your help, tok. Oh no. Please, please don’t take this wrong because I know how much you’ve helped me already. You, you saved my life. And I am, I am so grateful for that. I, I really am. I mean, when I was in that little boat, I had no idea of where I was going. And you, you rescued me and you, you brought me on the ship.

So thank you.

Okay. Um, work. Yeah, I, I, I get back to that. But first I need to make a call.

a call, a phone. Call, phone phoned Telephono. Ah. Telephone. O.

So how much you pay me for it?

Sean? You gotta let yourself off the hook. Stop. I did this. I told you to get your mother as fast as she, I said. Stop. You saw your father pointing a gun at your mother and thought she was in serious danger. How could you not? You were just trying to protect her. Trying to protect her. Yeah. Yeah. I was doing what everybody else said they would’ve done.

All right. That’s what I keep hearing over and over again and I’m sick and tired of it. Look, the look, the bottom line is my dad may die because of me. Because of me and me alone.

Look, I know you’re just trying to make me feel better and or maybe you’re just trying to make yourself feel a little less guilty by being a martyr. But you can look at this any which way that you want. You can map it out. However, you can just sit there and you can gimme all the reasons why this is on you.

And you know what, yes, some of it is alright. At the end of the day, the fact is you didn’t pull the trigger. You didn’t shoot your own father

Sean shot his own father and put him in a coma two days ago in Greece. Um, not to beuse, but why, why would your husband shoot his back from the dead dad? Because he thought his dad was about to shoot his mother. Which turns out he wasn’t. That’s just what Sean thought he saw. And, you know, it was just a, an accident.

It was a, a terrible, tragic mistake. So, what’s the prognosis? Nobody really knows. We just wait and pray now. So do you, do you see where I’m coming from ej, that that is a life and death situation? What’s happening with Gabby is not, Bo might not survive. And Sean is just devastated.

Yeah. Be Sounds like you happy, really screwed up.

Oh bell. Why the hell did you do that? Why did I do it? Because you damn well deserve it. Telling me my husband screwed up by shooting his father, didn’t he? No, he didn’t. It was an accident. Like I said, listen. I know you don’t like Sean, but to say something so callous and so heartless, that is just low even for you.

Well, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I, I should have fought before I spoke. Well, you should have thought before you called me over here. I don’t know. Maybe you should just think some more in general, EJ about what an insensitive jerk you are. I am outta here fell. Wait. Please, please, please. Bell, please. I know Sean and I don’t get along, and in spite of my insensitive comments, I do feel for him for your whole family.

And I’m sorry that you’re going through what you’re going through.

Thank you. And if you’ll allow me, I’d like to make up for what I said, and I think I know how I can do that. You’re right. I can’t know how you feel and I’m not gonna pretend to. And yes, I didn’t pull the trigger, but I still feel like I’m responsible for what happened to your father, and I should be the one paying for it.

Oh, come on, please. Nothing’s gonna happen to you. I’m keeping quiet about my dad, sending my mom to the villa, and there’s nothing illegal about that. Yeah, true. But no, but nothing. Okay. If you want to be punished, the only person that’s gonna be doing that to you is yourself. But nobody’s coming to arrest you.

Maybe not, but I’m still paying for what I did. Oh, really? Michael’s white. How? How is it that you were pain? What? Did you give yourself an imaginary prison sentence? No,

but I did lose hope. So the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain. Yeah. It seems that that is how Meghan Hathaway was controlling him, and the ISA was able to read what was on the chip. Yeah. With an app. Andrew just plugged it into his laptop and it just started analyzing away. It contained a video file, a recording of Bo’s point of view so you could see everything he did and hear what he was saying.

Yeah, exactly. And we can very clearly see Bo fire his gun up into the air and he, he yelled for Kate to run and she did. I’m okay. Uh, sorry, I’m confused. I’m confused because I thought that you said Bo told you himself that she was dead. That he, that he killed her. He did. So he lied. Why would he do that?

Well, I have no idea really. But I think maybe he did it to, to scare me and to keep me in line. I mean, he really went out of his way for me to try to believe that he was dangerous, even capable of murder. Right. He wanted me to believe that, but no matter what he said, I, I knew it wasn’t true. Mom, I’m so relieved you were right.

I, I,

you know, the first thing that Kate would’ve wanted to do once she got off that island was. Call her family, let us know she was alive. So why didn’t she? Well, look, if Kate did take that third vote, she most likely had no idea where she was and no way to navigate it. Might have taken her a while to get to the mainland for weeks.

Come on that. I know that is not that far from the coast, is it? Yeah, but there are over 30 islands in that chain. If Kate didn’t make it to the mainland, she most likely hit one of those. Exactly. So why didn’t she walk up to the first person she saw? And asked to use their phone.

What? What are you thinking? Just that Kate wasn’t an experienced sailor and the seas around here can be fairly treacherous if you are suggesting she didn’t make it dumb. Kate’s the strongest woman I know she has survived cancer. A plane crash. Being shot buried while she was still breathing. Do you think that she cheated death twice on that island only to lose her life when she escaped?

Not a chance. Kate is a fighter. I guarantee you she is alive. There’s not a doubt in my mind. So you speak English Ah-huh. And so, uh, you want me to pay to use your phone? I have to pay my bills. I will, I can’t pay your bills because I don’t have anything to my name except the very pun and close on my back.

Okay. You got a boat? No. No. I don’t have a boat. That’s a boat that I found when I, when I escaped the island that I was being held prisoner on. It’s true. When you found me in the water, I had just escaped. You know, everyone that I love right now, they think I’m dead. So all I wanna do is go to call my husband so I can tell ’em that I’m alive.

You know, I wanna go home. I can pay you all right? Believe me, I can pay you. I just can’t do it now. I’ll do it when I’m get home. I’m good for it. Just don’t have anything to give you right now.

I can’t, I can’t believe this kid’s locked alive. I’m so happy for you, Chad. It really is incredible news for all of us. Okay, so, uh, then where, where is she? Can we, can we see you? Oh, can I talk to her? Well, I, I, I think we need to go inside and see if we can get some answers. Okay, do it. I’m sorry, uncle Ruman, you’re absolutely right.

There’s no reason to give up hope. Well, Andrew, it’s okay. I know in your line of work, you gotta be, gotta be prepared for any outcome. True. But the only acceptable outcome in this case is to find Kate and to do that. I think I need to go get some reinforcements. Will you excuse me? Yeah. You’re saying we do our ours fool.

Catch up in a bit. Sounds like a plan.

What you said is true, brother Kate. This as tough as they come. My guess she washed the shore on another argument. She’s probably barking orders at the locals as we speak. Yeah. And teaching the bartenders how to make a martinis just the way she likes it. I just hope I wasn’t too hard on Andrew just now.

No, no. He guess it. You were just laying out the facts to make sure everybody’s clear on the mission. To bring your wife back safe and sound.

So how are you planning to make it up to me? Oh, I don’t suppose anything will make up for my borsch behavior, but perhaps I can begin to atone for by offering you something that I think you’ll find useful. I’m listening. Take the Demir jet. Go be with your husband. Take the jet to Greece. Hmm. I am sure Sean is in a lot of pain, obviously, and I know you want to be with him.

So fly out today and come back whenever you’re ready. I’ll pay for all the expenses. Of course, I, I mean, it’s, that’s very generous of you, ej, but I can’t, I can’t take you up on it cuz I’m in the middle of a trial. Ask for a continuance. Given the circumstances, I’m sure everyone involved will understand.

Uh, no. Still, you know, I wouldn’t be fair to my client to just take off, and Sean and I talked about it. He understands. All right. But if you do change your mind, just let me know. I will.

So about Gabby Hernandez? Never mind. Never mind. I’ll handle it.

Yeah. Like I said, I saw your mama earlier and she made it, um, she made it very clear that it’s over between us. Yeah. So what the hell did you expect? You kept the truth from her about the love of her life? Of course, she’s gonna dump your ass. Are you expecting me to feel sorry for you? No, just the way I hurt your mother and hurt all of you.

I’m just gonna have to live with that for the rest of my life. Yeah. Well, I’ll, I have to go shower and get back to the hospital. Of course. Look, I’ll, I’ll be, I’ll be praying for your family shot and I really do hope your dad is gonna be okay.

You know, see, I am having a hell of a time having my head around this whole thing, especially Bo being alive. Oh, I hear you, man. And seeing him standing there in front of me after all these years, Larry, to be confusing. I mean, the way he was acting. You know, didn’t take me too long to figure out the guy I was dealing with wasn’t the real him and that the real Bo Brady, my friend, my best friend of 40 years was still in there somewhere.

You know, Steve, when I heard we had him back, I was so damn happy. But knowing that he might have hurt Katie. Well, you know, I mean, I was having a hard time. I was. Having a hard time squaring the joy. I felt that my brother was alive with the likelihood that he killed my wife and oh yeah. I mean, hell, I love Bo and I would’ve done anything I could to help him get better, but once he did, I doubt there’s any way I could have ever forgiven him.

Well, thankfully you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Yeah. That is a big weight off my shoulders. You think you’re feeling relieved now? You just wait till we get your Katie back. Alright. We just gotta find her. This is my wedding ring. I can’t give you my wedding ring. You know, you just get another one when you return home.

I, I cannot get another one. Okay. It’s one of a kind. It’s, it’s my prize possession. My husband put it on my finger when I was on my deathbed. Okay. I got better. It’s a long story and very interesting, I’m sure, but if you want to use this phone, I need that ring. Okay, fine. Let’s take it. Just so you know, this is my last earthly possession, the one thing in this world that I care about.

I thought you wanted to telephone your husband. I do want to telephone my husband. Okay. Gimme the phone.

Only one. Call not more. Only one. Call

up.

Hey honey, I was hoping I’d catch you. Hey Bell, are you at the hospital? Uh, no, no, I’m at the hotel. Real quick, just to, uh, take a quick shower. So what’s the latest? Uh, I just spoke to my mom and, um, my dad squeezed her hand. Oh my God, that’s amazing. I mean, that, that’s a good sign, right? Yeah. Yeah. They, they told her not to, not to get her hopes up, you know, nothing’s changed except for that.

So, uh, they don’t expect that he’s gonna wake up anytime soon. Well, he could though, right? Sean? You cannot give up hope. No, uh, no, you’re right, you’re right. I’m, uh, I’m not, it’s just, um, You know, it’s just, it’s just hard.

Please pick up. Please pick up. Oh, someone answered that is recording in Spanish. What? Here? Here. Tell me what they’re saying.

I heard that myself. What are they saying? The number cannot be complete as you put it. No, no, no, no. That’s not possible. No, I called Roman, I put his number in, so that’s wrong. So just gimme the phone and I’ll try it again. You say only one phone call, remember? But that phone call did not go through, and that was not my fault.

Had to have been bad reception. So let’s just go up on the deck and I’ll call again. Sorry.

Oh no, please don’t do that. Please don’t do this. Please don’t do this. No, no.

Mom just told us about Kate. Yeah. Great news, huh? God the best. Okay, so what’s the plan? How do we find her? We’re working on it. Okay. Well, whatever you need, I want to help. All right. We appreciate that Steve and I are, we got some leads and, uh, Andrew’s on it too. Is he still around here? No. No. He said he had to go get some reinforcements.

Oh. What does that mean? I’m not sure.

Oh, I’m glad I caught you. Yeah, I was headed out when I got your text headed out as in was going someplace else to figure out my next move. Oh, maybe I can help you with that. Figuring out your next move.

I need your help. Turns out Kay Roberts is alive and we need to find her. Okay. What? But why would you ask me for help? Well, for starters, you are a highly decorated Navy seal. Yeah, he’s done irreparable damage to your family. So again, why would you want my help? How would you like a shot of redemption?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tucker: You got dressed?

Ashley: As one does. What did you think? I was gonna be lounging around all morning. I– this is a work day.

Tucker: I was gonna make you breakfast in bed.

Ashley: I only see coffee.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m still navigating my way around that kitchen.

Ashley: It’s very sweet. I’ll give you a tip though. If you want to catch me before I go in to work, you’re gonna have to start a little earlier.

Tucker: Yeah, but it’s impossible to know when you get up ’cause my room’s all the way down the hall. We’re gonna have to fix that, I think.

Ashley: Not right now. I have to get to work, but you know, we’ll talk about it later. You know.

Tucker: Oh, you’re gonna…

Ashley: That’s very sweet. I’m good. Okay, goodbye.

Tucker: Morning. Coffee?

[ Nate sighing ]

Elena: Oh, it is a beautiful day. Clear skies, the sun is out. You can tell summer is on its way.

Audra: You’re in a good mood.

Elena: I am relieved. Things are finally getting better between nate and me. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Elena: So at first, I was thinking maybe an island. Something charming, not too far away, but then I thought it might be touristy, so then I was thinking maybe something more intimate, romantic. Or I could go big, you know, exotic, palm trees, mojitos. Just make a week of it. But then it might be hard to book something like that because you know, this is also last minute. Nate just told me about it last night.

Audra: Did he?

Elena: Yeah, that man is full of surprises lately.

Audra: Yeah, he certainly is.

Elena: And he couldn’t have been more sweet about it. He told me to pick a place, wherever I wanted to go would be perfect because as long as he was with me, he would be happy. And then he left a note on my pillow reminding me to pick my dream vacation.

Audra: What a guy.

Elena: Maybe I shouldn’t have doubted nate when he told me that I was his priority and not work, and not victoria. I mean, he’s really trying. He’s really been putting in the work to prove that I am important. And I think now it’s up to me to trust him and I feel like I’m finally in a place to do that.

Audra: Yeah, and now he’s in L.A., On a business trip.

Elena: Right. And it is a good thing that he has you to look after things at newman media. I’m pretty sure he is going to be focused on making deals and proving himself to the powers that be. Probably won’t even come up for air until he’s back home. That man really throws himself into his work.

Audra: Yeah, he– he certainly does.

Elena: Okay. What’s wrong with you?

Audra: Did nate tell you he was going to L.A. Alone?

Elena: Yes.

Audra: Well, he didn’T. He went with victoria.

Nate: Hey.

Victoria: Hi.

Nate: You look ready for action.

Victoria: Thank you, I’m extremely excited. I just love this moment. We know why we’re here. We know what we’re gonna do and I have no doubt that we’re gonna be successful beyond anything that we’ve imagined.

Nate: Well, with that confidence, how can we not go home winners?

Victoria: Exactly. All right. Well, practically back-to-back meetings starting later today. Um, you know, I just wanted to go over the agenda, the bullet points, the goals, the research, and just make sure that we’re on the same page.

Nate: Okay.

Victoria: So, as you can see, we have dinner later this evening in santa monica where we will make our pitch and…

Nate: And dazzle them with our offer.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Yes, I like the way that you think. But in the meantime, I do want to go over the research and make sure that it’s solid because I really want to nail this deal.

Nate: So do I.

Jack: Why are you here?

Tucker: Oh, you mean like what’s the meaning of life and all that?

Jack: My family is in crisis right now, diane is in jail. Summer is mourning the loss of her mother. We are struggling through every hour of every day and ashley drops you on us. It’s offensive.

Tucker: It’s offensive that your sister is moving forward with her life?

Jack: With you? Yes.

Tucker: Jack, I know you don’t like me.

Jack: You apparently don’t realize how much I don’t like you.

Tucker: But believe it or not, I am as dedicated to family as you are.

Jack: You don’t know the meaning of the word.

Tucker: Which word?

Jack: Family.

Tucker: Uh, that’s true. I’m not as great at it as you are, but I’d like to be and I’m trying to be. And that’s one of the reasons I’m here. Uh, I’d like to repair my relationship with devon and ashley understands that. So, she’s offered to let me move in here.

Jack: Oh, let’s be clear. Ashley asked you to move in here to make my life hell.

Tucker: Jack, I hope you will receive this in the spirit that it’s offered, but not everything’s about you. And I came back to genoa city expressly to, uh, to show ashley that I’m worthy of her love. And so we can make a real future together.

Jack: A future? With you?

Tucker: Yeah.

Jack: After the unending pain you caused her. How did you con her into believing that?

Tucker: So, you think that she’s just so easily manipulated that she’s fallen prey to my evil agenda?

Jack: Yeah, that about sizes it up.

Tucker: That’s funny because that’s exactly what she thinks about you and diane.

Billy: Hey.

Ashley: Hey. So good to see somebody working hard around here.

Billy: Yeah, it’s been crazy the last few days.

Ashley: Thank you, jack. He’s lost his mind because of diane.

Billy: I– I didn’t know he’d seen her. What– what happened?

Ashley: I don’t know. He doesn’t keep me in the loop. Frankly, I don’t want to be included in that insanity.

Billy: Well, you know, jack’s in a tough spot right now. I think we can take it easy on him a little.

Ashley: Oh, good idea, billy. I’ll take it easy. Meanwhile, jack is defending a murderer to anybody that will listen.

Billy: I think we should watch our word choice. You know, walking into the C.E.O.’S office, claiming his fiancee’s a murderer.

Ashley: Murderess. I’m sorry.

Billy: Not the part I was worried about.

Ashley: As co-C.E.O., You should be worried because jack’s priorities are a threat to this company.

Billy: I don’t follow.

Ashley: Well, um, you are aware of the barrage of media inquiries we’ve been getting. They’re not asking anything about jabot. They want to know about the co-C.E.O.’S fiance who murdered his ex-wife. And P.S., The trial hasn’t even started yet. That’s gonna be a feeding frenzy. So, I was just thinking that maybe we should try to do something before the jack and diane show tanks this company completely.

[Tap tap]

Jack: Oh, wait, wait. If you’re gonna compare yourself to diane, stop right there. Diane has genuinely changed. She’s done the work. She’s made amends. You, you’re the same tucker that screwed over everybody in this town.

Tucker: Yeah, but who also almost died in a car crash and–

Jack: Oh, yes, yes. And lived in an ashram and found your soul. The flaw there is you don’t have one.

Tucker: Okay. Not a morning person, noted. This coffee’s good, man. You sure you don’t want some?

Jack: I’ll get coffee on my way to work.

Tucker: Hey, uh, by the way, I just want you to know that I’m truly sorry for what diane is going through right now. For what it’s worth, I don’t– I don’t think she’s entirely responsible for phyllis’s death.

Jack: For what it’s worth. I don’t give a damn what you think. Wait, you know what? As long as we’re having this conversation, if you intend to continue this little dalliance with ashley, whatever the hell it is, be warned. There will be hell to pay if you ever again hurt her or use her.

Billy: I don’t buy into the whole doomsday scenario you’re painting for jabot. I think it’s overblown.

Ashley: Really? Well, because of the public’s fascination with this case, our department heads have become well-versed in the art of no comment. They’re not really running their divisions, billy. It’s not good for morale. It’s not good for our bottom line and it’s not good for jabot’s reputation.

Billy: You know, jabot has faced worse and come back even stronger.

Ashley: But this is just the beginning. Jack is distracted, he’s throwing his money and his time behind whatever defense that michael comes up with. He’s doing nothing to get in front of the explosion that’s gonna happen day one of diane’s trial.

Billy: That’s a good point. I’ll talk to P.R. And make sure we have a plan in place.

Ashley: Great idea, but it’s not gonna work because the problem is diane jenkins. Oh, just tell me this. How does one spin an employee who’s engaged to a co-C.E.O. Who murders a former colleague?

Billy: Alleged murder, ashley, okay? And again, I think you’re overreacting.

Ashley: I am not. I’m being realistic. Jack’s behavior has been irrational since he got back with diane and I’m warning you, we need to make moves to do whatever we can to protect our company before it’s too late.

Elena: Victoria went to L.A.?

[ Elena sighing ] I asked nate point blank and he told me he was going alone. Maybe victoria joined the trip, spur of the moment.

Audra: The plan was always for the two of them to go together. Yeah, I think she asked him to make the trip.

Elena: How do you know?

Audra: Well, nate told me about it yesterday. Now, I wanted to tag along, learn from my boss, but he said he needed me to run the office since he and victoria were making the trip. That he was hoping she’d teach him a few things. I can only imagine the things she’ll be teaching him.

Elena: Oh my god.

Audra: You know, I can’t believe the man would lie to your face. After all the talk about making you a priority. He– he sneaks off to L.A. With victoria. What an ass. You know, and then he gets you all excited about this romantic getaway.

Elena: Stop it.

Audra: You know, the jerk only made the play to cover his guilt. Nate has a brilliant, beautiful woman in his life and he’d rather go chase after victoria newman.

Elena: Audra, stop. And we’re done.

Ashley: You know, billy, honestly, diane always has her own agenda. You know that. And guess what she wants now. Everything. She wants, jack, she wants his name, she wants his money, she wants his power. She’s a danger to him and to us and the fact that jack doesn’t see that proves he’s in no position to be protecting our company or to be running jabot.

Billy: So, what do you plan? Hm. What do you think we should do about that?

[ Ashley sighing ]

Ashley: Don’t you think it’s kind of obvious?

Billy: You can’t be serious.

Ashley: I am serious. We need to convene the board and contain jack. I don’t want to see it come to that, but maybe we need to do something. I don’t know, shut him down completely.

Billy: You need to slow down a little bit, okay? And you need to listen to yourself because it sounds like you’re planning a coup.

Ashley: I’m protecting the company.

Billy: Okay, well, that’s not gonna happen. We are not gonna force jack from his position as C.E.O of this company. There’s no reason to believe he doesn’t have the company’s best interest and our family’s best interests at heart.

Ashley: There’s every reason to believe that because his obsession with diane has gone on too far and it simply has to stop, period.

Billy: This is about a hell of a lot more than business isn’t it?

Ashley: Oh, wow.

Tucker: What ashley and I have, there’s no doubt, it’s, you know, it’s one of the great, epic love stories. You’ll see, we’re meant to be together.

Jack: Oh, you want me to see that?

Tucker: Yeah. I mean, listen, I understand your resistance because I was not a great guy, back in the day, I admit it. Um, and that’s why while I’m here, I’m as dedicated to proving myself to you and the rest of the abbots as I am to ashley.

Jack: This little stunt.

Tucker: It’s a kick in the pants, huh?

Jack: As furious as I am at ashley for foisting you on this family at a time like this, she is still my sister. I love her. I will always protect her.

Tucker: Now, see, that’s something we have in common then because I love her and I will always protect her. See? We should do this more often. I feel like we’ve bonded.

[ Door slamming ]

[ Tucker sighing ]

Audra: I’m sorry, but I– I shouldn’t have gone off like that. Look, it’s just for months, okay? Nate’s sworn to you that there was nothing going on between him and victoria. Look, I knew he was ambitious, okay? I just didn’t peg him for a cheating liar.

Elena: And I was dumb enough to trust him. I guess I just wanted to believe that we were gonna be okay. So, um, you think they’ve been sleeping together this whole time? Or was that the point of this trip?

Audra: Look, there’s a real chance we’re reading too much into this, okay? That there’s nothing going on between them. Look, maybe we should take a step back.

Elena: No… because regardless of whether or not nate and victoria have actually slept together, nate is a liar. He played me. He dangled a dream vacation in front of my face and he got me right where he wanted me. And there I was, trusting, patient, stupid girlfriend believing in a lie while he’s off trying to really impress his boss.

Victoria: The company has taken some hits, but they’re definitely undervalued.

Nate: Agreed. The dynamics for podcasting platforms are in flux. A lot of companies are downsizing, reorganizing, which is great timing for us. Newman can swoop in, rebuild, make the company leaner, more muscular.

Victoria: Stronger, more powerful. Yes, I do like the sound of that. We can reorganize creators and copyright owners and build an economic model that will benefit everyone.

Nate: How can they say no?

Victoria: You’re very hard to say no to.

Nate: Um, something I was thinking about last night. A way to recoup a portion of our investment could be to include premium subscription offerings. Generate intellectual property deals with hollywood.

Victoria: Does your brain ever stop working?

Nate: I wish I did. I– I must confess, I listen to those podcasts featuring stories that help put you to sleep at night.

Victoria: Mm. That sounds very boring.

Nate: Boring? This company actually has a division dedicated to those types of stories.

Victoria: Well, can that please be one of the first divisions that we downsize?

Nate: You are very hard to say no to.

Victoria: You know, I have a very hard time picturing you listening to sleepy story time podcasts.

Nate: I find it soothing. Um, you know, someone’s voice in my ear as I drift off to sleep on nights, I’m feeling a little lonely.

Victoria: A man like you can’t possibly feel lonely.

Nate: Once in a while. More often now, I guess. Ever since I entered this new stage of my life.

Victoria: How so?

[ Nate exhaling ]

Nate: It seems the people who matter the most to me aren’t moving forward with me. Where I see positives, they see negatives. They don’t understand what drives me.

Victoria: Well, you know, bigger, better, more. It’s not for everyone. But for some of us, it’s the best reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Nate: You really do get it.

Victoria: I do, I get it. I can’t tell you how good it feels working with someone that I’m so in sync with. So anyway, the numbers are a little soft on this, but I think we can play that to our advantage as we, um, refine our position.

Nate: To do that, we have to make the most of the moment.

Jack: What a day.

Michael: Hello to you too.

Jack: Where are we with diane’s defense?

Michael: Oh, well, we are currently sitting in the shadow of a mountain of evidence that all points to diane. Jeremy stark remains dead, but somehow we are still waiting to learn of his cause of death.

Jack: Waiting is getting us nowhere. We have to be proactive, michael.

Michael: What do you recommend? Holding a seance and raising jeremy stark from the dead? That would be proactive.

Jack: He was our best chance at exonerating diane. Now what? Dead ends? The police aren’t helping. Diane needs something to hold onto, so do I. Something that will give her some hope. Stark is dead. We have to pivot. How do we do that?

Michael: Maybe not pivot so much.

Jack: Meaning what?

Michael: We’re behind the game where jeremy stark is concerned. We now do what we should have done when he was still breathing. Investigate the hell out of him. Hey, man. You could save hundreds

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Ashley: Do you know how many times jack has tried to kick me out of my own home? Not once, not twice, but three times. Simply because I don’t want to play along with this fatal attraction thing he’s got going with diane.

Billy: Okay, great. So he kicks you out of the house and your payback is to kick him out of the company. That’s your plan?

Ashley: I told you I want to convene the board so I can protect the company.

Billy: So you’re not looking for revenge on jack?

Ashley: No, I’m not. Although because of recent events, I can see why it might be perceived that way, yes.

Billy: Ashley, what are you doing?

Ashley: I invited tucker to move in with me. I mean, he has his own room, but yeah.

Billy: The man that shredded your heart into pieces. The man that wanted to steal this company. The man who lies to you and everyone in town simply by opening his mouth. Do you think that’s a good idea to plant him under the roof of our family home?

Ashley: I had a lot of reasons for what I did and not one of them is your business.

Billy: Ashley, you’re looking for war, okay? Tucker is a live grenade. He is just as malicious as you believe diane to be. What makes you think that he’s not using you to try and take over this company?

Ashley: Okay, we’re not talking about tucker mccall. We’re talking about diane and jack.

Billy: Hold on, I thought we were talking about protecting this company?

Ashley: Diane is lethal. She could destroy jack and our family. Now instead of standing there and accusing me of blowing everything out of proportion. Why don’t you start being as afraid as I am? This woman has incredible influence over our brother and she could very well beat those murder charges. She will be right back here. She will be insinuating herself even more deeply into our family and that she will establish herself as queen of the abbott household and this company. Is that what you want?

Michael: Did you contact the financial expert I connected you with?

Jack: The forensic accountant? Yeah, unfortunately, she couldn’t trace stark’s money. She promised me she would leave no stone unturned, but I haven’t heard from her yet. I am waiting and I–

Michael: Listen, listen, give her some time. Nothing tells a better story than a good money trail. Now I’m gonna work on the subpoena process regarding the phone records. Phyllis’s should be easy enough since she is the victim of the crime–

Jack: What about stark’s records?

Michael: Yeah, well, that’s a– a trickier one. At present, we have nothing that ties him in any way to phyllis’s murder. Ergo, we need a very convincing argument in order to legally subpoena his records.

Jack: Sounds unlikely. Wait, legally subpoena?

Michael: I might know some people. These people know how to access all sorts of data, including calls. They could do it in a quiet, proactive kind of way.

Jack great. Do it.

Michael: I can use the same magic to get, uh, security footage to trace stark’s movements while he was in genoa city. You know, thanks to this high-tech, big brother’s watching world we live in, it could, uh, it could glean us a thing or two.

Jack: Great. Do it now. This is a plan.

Michael: Yeah.

Jack: Wait, what aren’t you saying?

[ Michael sighing ]

Michael: As much as it makes sense to us that that scum killed phyllis, the “stark did it defense” is a very tricky path to navigate. It’s– it’s really too easy to pin a crime on a dead man who can’t defend himself and it really doesn’t play well to any judge or jury. And if we don’t have bona fide, indisputable evidence, christine is gonna rip us to shreds.

Jack: So we can’t win a case blaming this on stark?

Michael: It’s not a slam dunk, but it can be done. We just need to focus on proving that the evidence against diane was fabricated. It was planted by a manipulative mastermind hell bent on revenge. Although, the best defense relies on the answers we find. But if we don’t find any–

Jack: Not an option, we will find the answers.

Audra: Don’t beat yourself up. When it comes to getting what she wants, victoria is shameless.

Elena: Yeah. God forbid she’d let a little thing like morals or what’s right and wrong get in her way.

[ Elena sighing ] I’m an idiot.

Audra: You’re not an idiot. You’re in love. Look, you’re trying to protect your relationship, the life you’ve built–

Elena: Not much of a life anymore is it?

Audra: Elena, again, not your fault. You’re the one who’s the victim and–

Elena: Don’t say it. I’m not a victim.

Audra: What I meant to say is that look, you’re one of the smartest women I know. Now, you know the truth about nate. All of his charm, you know, his promises, they were all bull. He’s not working on strengthening your relationship. He’s been actively sabotaging it.

Nate: Scripted fiction could be a place to expand. Downloads are on a rise, while other forms are taking a hit. Especially with our target demographic.

Victoria: Well, thank god, you’re on top of things. Well, I mean, I– I do try to stay up to date with popular culture, but I tend to not see it from a consumer’s angle.

Nate: Wow. How can the head of a huge international corporation not be up to date on what people want?

Victoria: I don’t need to, I’ve got you. Lucky newman media.

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Victoria chuckling ]

Nate: Once we acquire the company, it’d be key to make the employees feel like they’re part of something exciting. To be recognized for their contributions. They’re not just punching a clock, they’re making a difference.

Victoria: You know, you just confirmed it, yet again. Naming you C.E.O. Of newman media is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Nate: I learn from you every day.

Victoria: I learn from you too. You bring such fresh ideas, you bring insight, energy, it’s inspiring. It’s actually kind of intoxicating. You know, I read something that you might be interested in. It’s how to balance leadership in business. It’s push or pull, lighting a fire under someone or stoking the fire within. Rules versus trust, that sort of thing.

Nate: Mm. I’d be interested. Is there an article you can send me?

Victoria: Uh, no, it’s a book. Publishers sometimes send me advance copies, in hopes that I might write a blurb for the cover. I just might for this one. It had some really good ideas in it.

Nate: Sounds like it. Um, I’d love to take a look sometime.

Victoria: Um, well, I have it upstairs in my room. Shall I grab it for you?

Nate: Why don’t we go together?

Victoria: Sure. Thank you.

Jack: Michael, I have absolute faith in you. Wow. This day only gets better.

Michael: Ignore him, jack. Your focus is on diane, no one else. Not even that moron.

Jack: That moron is living under my roof.

Michael: Say what?

Jack: My sister, ashley, is trying to prove a point.

Michael: What? That she has horrific taste in men?

Jack: She is furious that I moved diane, who is my fiance, the mother of our son, into our home. She’s decided to counterpunch by moving him into a room of his own. As if there’s any comparison.

Michael: Ashley always did go big.

Jack: Her timing is horrendous. Not that she cares. God, the house is upside down with grief and worry. This latest play of hers is only gonna bring more chaos and misery.

Michael: All right, jack, remember your priorities.

Jack: Oh, believe me. That is what gets me through every day, bringing diane home. I love my sister. I hate what is happening between her and tucker, but I cannot make it my business to save her from herself. No, I have to use all of my energy to save diane.

Elena: I really tried to understand nate. I supported him, even when I knew the decisions he was making were wrong. And when he couldn’t perform surgery, I saw him struggle to redefine himself and to find his place in the world again. He was a god in the O.R. And then suddenly, he was just a normal guy. And don’t get me wrong, he had a great life, success, love, but it wasn’t enough. What he wanted was power and he didn’t care about breaking the rules to get it. In fact, he wanted to make his own rules because it was all about winning for him. And yet, I still stood by him. I tried to reason with him. I tried to remind him of the man that he used to be. Someone who is compassionate, someone who was loyal, someone who knew the difference between right and wrong, but I guess lying became easier than telling the truth. And power was more important than love or family. And the consequences, the collateral damage, it meant nothing.

[ Victoria panting ] I guess I just really wanted to believe that the nate that I fell in love with still existed. But I should have known better, right? He was ready to betray his family to get what he wanted. And it was only a matter of time before he betrayed me too. I’m adding downy unstopables to my wash now.

Ashley: God, I can’t believe he’s here. My pig-headed brother is gonna give me indigestion.

Ashley: Then ignore him. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Ashley: Well, you’re very full of yourself, aren’t you?

Tucker: Uh, jack and I had a very deep, meaningful, heart-to-heart after you left.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: No. But I made a couple of inroads with him.

Ashley: I don’t think so. I don’t think anybody can get through his thick skull. Honestly, I believe that common sense and brains skipped the men in my family.

Tucker: You’re in a mood. You should’ve stuck around for breakfast in bed.

Ashley: I wish. But how could I? My brother’s destroying my family, our company, our legacy. I’m the only one that sees it and there doesn’t seem to be too much I can do about it.

Tucker: Mm. I can think of something, at least in the short term, you could do just to distract yourself for a moment. I mean, you, uh, you invited me to live with you, and not just because you adore me, right? But to tick off, what’s his name over there?

Ashley: I don’t want to tick him off. I want to wake him up. I want him to see that he’s an idiot.

Tucker: Well, let’s wake him up and make him see that he’s an idiot.

Ashley: You still have your suite?

Tucker: I do, ready and waiting.

Ashley: Excellent.

Tucker: Shall we?

Ashley: Yeah.

[ Tucker clearing his throat ]

Tucker: He can see us, right?

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Michael: You could have sold tickets to that? Sorry.

Jack: You know what? It’s not my problem. I cannot waste my time playing games when the woman I love desperately needs my help. Michael, we can find the evidence we need. Look, every question we’ve had, every– every obstacle we found has revealed one thing. We have not begun to scratch the surface of what happened to phyllis that night. If we can just find some truths, we can pull back some layers.

Michael: All right. I will reach out to my contacts today about the security footage and the phone records, right?

Jack: Thank you. And look, I– I know you’re concerned–

Michael: No, well, look, every brilliant attorney has his moments of doubt. But I’m gonna give this my all.

Jack: You will. So will I. We have to help diane. I’m going to do everything I can to prove that she’s innocent. I don’t want this ever to go to trial.

Audra: What are you gonna do?

Elena: Go to L.A., Catch them in the act, make a scene, throw his clothes in the middle of the street, call him, yell at him.

Audra: All valid options.

Elena: What I’m not gonna do is nothing. Not this time. You offered me an option once.

Audra: Yeah, but you turned it down. Said you didn’t like to play games.

Elena: Yeah, well, obviously the circumstances have changed. I think it’s time we find J.T. Hellstrom.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Pikeman guys are late. That’s not a good start.

Yeah. Another reason not to like ’em.

[Tense music]

Right there.

Get the others.

Not yet.

Problem? Last time I, uh, did something for pikeman… I was ambushed at my own warehouse. Let’s talk about that.

[Dramatic music]

[Waves crashing]

[Wind whooshing]

[Door clangs]

Liesl, give me some good news.

The antigen is sound.

So why don’t you sound more upbeat about that?

The antidote is less certain, and, without it, those you have marked for survival may perish. A significant roadblock, no?

That’s the thing about roadblocks-

you just have to find your way around them. And I have complete faith that you can do just that.

I can find the workarounds,but these things take time.

Hmm. That’s the one thing none of us have. Especially not your great-niece, willow.

[Dramatic music]

We should head back.

Sounds good to me. I’m freezing.

[Phone ringing]

Did you hear that?

[Ringing continues]

[Mouths words]

You there.

Don’t move!

Nina.

Martin, thank you so much for coming to see me straight from the airport.

Oh, I’m always happy to accommodate a client.

So tell me, how is your mom?

Oh, well, mom is high-spirited and happy. Thank you for asking. I just wish I could say the same thing about my sister.

Yeah. Laura must be going through it. I also have someone that I love trapped on the “haunted star” because of victor. It’s nothing but nonstop fear.

She hasn’t answered any of my calls today. I’m gonna head over to her place after we finish our business. So, that being said, tell me-

what was so important you wanted to see me the moment I landed?

Martin, I asked you to inform the sec about carly and drew’s insider trading.

Yes, you did. What of it?

I need you to call it off.

[Tense music]

Oh.

Mom, hey. Are you okay?

Where is willow? Oh, michael, I feel awful for ruining her big night. Awful.

W-willow and I are married. So tonight-

it’s far from ruined. Besides, what happened is not your fault. It’s ned’s fault.

Did ned actually admit to turning me and drew in to the sec?

Of course not. He denied having anything to do with it. But if it wasn’t ned, then who would have went to the sec?

[Dramatic music]


Nina, we’re talking about the sec, not wyndham’S. They don’t have a return policy for tips on criminal behavior.

That’s what I figured. I just thought I would ask.

Now that you have, it’s my turn. What’s with the second thoughts?

There are just some things that I hadn’t fully considered with regard to potential fallout.

Well, that might be, but I’m sorry. It’s–this is done deal.

You know, this could be a lot of hand-wringing for nothing. There’s no guarantee that the sec is gonna act on your anonymous tip that you left anytime soon, or act on it at all.

Actually, I think you’ll find the government has exceeded our expectations.

What do you mean?

Got a call from a friend of mine about carly spencer. She was there tonight at the police department being interviewed by the sec.

[Tense music]

Pikeman was alarmed and dismayed to hear about the attempt on your life, and we want to assure you we would never be party.

I know pikeman wasn’t behind the shooter. I confirmed your lack of involvement.

Shooter was untraceable-

no id, no fingerprints in any database.

So a professional.

Of a specific kind. He’s had military training, probably special ops.

Yeah, and that’s-

and that’s not the kind of personnel that I deal with, which leads me to believe that I was just a means to an end. So whoever tried to kill me… did it to screw with you guys.

[Dramatic music]

So jordan is gonna run interference for us long enough to keep the wsb at bay.

And robert should be here any minute to help us game this out, because the wsb absolutely cannot find out that victor may be about to deploy a biological weapon on the world.

[Monitor beeping]

Well, that’s not your decision to make.

[Dramatic music]

Who else is here with you?

I’m here alone.

Who are you?

I’m valentin cassadine. I’m here to see my father.

Scotty, I don’t know what you think you just heard.

Well, hi, holly. You seem to have made a miraculous recovery from someone that was burned up in a fire. I mean, there’s no scars or anything on you. If you two think that you are gonna sacrifice my girlfriend, you have got another guess coming.

Hey. Keep it down. I can hear you all the way down the hall.

All right.

Well, wait a minute, now. Are you in cahoots with these two as well?

Stop.

Robert, scott is operating under the misapprehension that we don’t want liesl rescued.

As usual, you’ve got it all backwards.

Oh, yeah. Do I, now? I mean, I did hear jordan a little while ago talking about how you’re withholding some information that-

okay, wait. How long have you been listening in?

Because jordan left ten minutes ago.

You haven’t done anything, have you? Scott.

Scott, you haven’t made contact with the wsb? Please, tell me that.

[Dramatic music]

How dare you threaten willow. She’s my family, my great-niece. She needs my help.

Oh, I’m not threatening anyone. I’m just stating facts. The longer it takes you to prove the efficacy of the antidote, the less time your niece has to undergo a life-saving procedure.

Do I have your word you’ll release me if I complete the project?

There’s only one way to find out: Do your job.

Mr. Cassadine. Ambrose says somebody claiming to be your son is here on the island.

What? Let me speak to him.

Mr. Cassadine wants to talk to the intruder.

Hello, dad.

Bring him here, now!


I got a little news flash for you there, scorpio. After ashford left, what I did or didn’t do-

that’s really none of your business.

Okay. Whether you believe it or not, scott, we are all working towards the exact same outcome. So you need to tell us if you relayed any information that you overheard here to the wsb.

You know what? I don’t think we’re all working for the same outcome-

we are.

Ah, right. Just to be on the level with you, I haven’t said anything to anybody. Yet!

You do understand people’s lives are at stake?

Oh, for–why would you say that to me? Liesl’s being held by a madman who’s trying to burn down the world.

Hey, look, we’re all working hard to-

working at what?

You have information you could pass on to wsb that might be able to take out victor, and now you got the commissioner working with you and everything else. None of this is really making any sense to me. And okay, liesl’s done some pretty horrible things in her day, but I will not let her be collateral damage for you two!

Can you just listen to us?

Just save it, will you? Because, you know what? If you don’t tell the wsb, I sure as hell will.

[Dramatic music]

You’re saying that carly was officially questioned? I mean, I’m kind of shocked here, martin. I had no idea that the sec act so quickly.

Actually, so am I. Turns out the government’s flat-footed and backlogged in everything but insider trading. That and alimony payments. Yeah, just try to miss a couple of those suckers. See what’s happen. Some are gonna end up in your business. Then again, it probably has more to do with my small herd of ex-wives than it does with the government.

But with carly, drew, and the sec, martin, what is next?

Well, doubtless, carly will face some kind of investigation, as will drew.

[Tense music]

I’m sorry, nina. At this point, it’s in the attorneys’ hands. You know? Now, if there’s nothing else, I really would like to go see my sister.

Thank you, martin–I think.

Yeah. Listen. I understand that you’re worried, but there’s no point in second-guessing anything. You didn’t incite or entice drew or carly to do anything. If there was insider trading, they made that decision themselves. All you did was report it. Good night.

Hey.

Carly.

Oh, my gosh.

We were so worried about you.

Oh, are you kidding? I am so sorry that the whole situation with the sec overshadowed your wedding.

Oh, no. Please. The wedding was over. I’m just glad the police didn’t hold you longer and that drew is safe.

Yeah. Sonny showed up, and he–he told the sec that drew was on a plane to maui. So that did buy us some valuable time. Look, I’m no fan of sonny’s, but I am grateful that he showed up when he did.

As far as I’m concerned, that’s proof that we’re still important to him.

Seems to me, someone had a vested interest in preventing the shipment. So I gotta wonder if that has to do with what’s in the cargo.

That was a third party trying to stop us. I don’t see what the contents of the shipment-

why it’s relevant.

Somebody tried to take my life. You don’t think that’s relevant? Now, I had the assumption that you were shipping weapons. Now… I’m beginning to think… that you’re moving something bigger than guns.

We were under the impression you wanted to minimize your involvement-

provide storage and facilitate shipping only.

Well, your impression’s wrong!

All right.

[Dramatic music]

[Crate snaps]

What the-

this is one of the world’s most powerful plastic explosives.

How powerful?

One brick can take out an entire city block.


Sonny… look. This stuff is in high demand. It’s very hard to get. People like it because it’s malleable and waterproof and a little goes a long, long way. The U.S. Military keeps this ordnance under tight control, real tight.

[Tense music]

If this is the cargo you’re sending through my docks, I’m surprised more people didn’t take shots at us.

What can I say? Great rewards come with high risks.

Except, see, this is something you’re not understanding. I feel like I’m taking all the risk.

[Dramatic music]

Okay, putting aside my situation with sonny, I do know that he is worried about both of you.

I think that the most important thing right now, obviously, is to bring liesl home safe and sound so that she can be a bone marrow donor for willow, and drew is the one who’s making that happen, okay? Not my dad.

Sonny decoyed the sec to give drew time to go after liesl. Does that not count for something?

[Dramatic music]

Look, with regard to the contents of these crates, I can assure you that information is tightly controlled. Leaks are very rare, and, when they occur, those folks are dealt with swiftly. Are we going forward or not?

[Tense music]

Pikeman can use my docks this time, but not again-

not until we renegotiate the deal. Now, by “renegotiate the deal,” you know what that means? I want information on who was behind the ambush.

Understood. Close it up.

Thank you for taking care of the drew situation.

My pleasure.

Now, can you take care of the rest of this? ‘Cause I-

nina’s waiting for me. She’s–you know, obrecht’s missing and she’s nervous.

No problem. You know I got you.

I appreciate you. Um, okay. So my associate will take charge of the shipment from here. Dex, can you come here for a second?

You just need to make sure that the cash exchange goes smoothly.

[Dramatic music]

Give me that walkie. Once you’ve brought me my son, go check on our guests we left aboard the “haunted star.”

Ahh, what an intriguing turn of events. But, of course, you’re the man who thinks of everything. I’m sure you anticipated your son showing up.

Conduct a thorough search. There’s no way my son came here alone.

[Dramatic music]

Move it.

Move.

There’s only one way to find out if it’s safe for us to move.

We can’t have you rushing off to the wsb with what you just heard.

Right.

[Scoffs] I don’t need your permission.

Yes, but you have to understand, we have our reasons.

Oh, well, then I’m all ears.

Okay, well, first of all, we don’t have incontrovertible proof, right?

Okay, well, then I think I’ll give the wsb a little call-

if you make that call, the first thing-

[Dramatic music]


Here you go. It’s all in there.

Mm. We’re going to count this just to be sure.

[Tense music]

The last thing pikeman would do is cheat mr. Corinthos. We’re hoping this will be the beginning of a very profitable relationship.

That’ll be up to mr. Corinthos.

Deals this profitable aren’t easy to come by. Mr. Corinthos will find his affiliation with pikeman will be life-changing.

Yes, I can see that sonny is making an effort, but that does not mean that he shouldn’t be held accountable for his actions in the past that-

can we just focus on the future, please, or just try to?

Yeah. [Stammers] Tell us what happened at the police station.

Well, I know the government has frozen aurora’s accounts and assets.

Damn it, ned. Though, I shouldn’t be surprised that his games have, you know, impacted the family business. But what I can never forgive is how he hurt you and drew in the process.

Okay. Do you really believe ned woulhe’s always been so kind.

Ned is a quartermaine. He pus elq ahead of everything else. And I get that it’s hard for you to see that because you always see the best in everybody.

Well…not always.

Hey. How you doing, kevin?

I’m doing well, ms. Reeves.

He’s expecting me.

You got it.

Thank you. Well, hey, handsome.

Hello, yourself.

[Giggles]

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry to call you down here. I just needed to talk to someone.

Oh, no problem. Tell me about the wedding.

I’m not gonna tell you about the wedding ’cause I don’t want you to be sad-

no, no, no. It’s okay. I wanna hear about it.

Are you sure you want me-

yes, I want to hear about it. How was willow?

She looked–[Sighs] Beautiful–a vision.

I knew she would be. And, um, the-

everything wasn’t too much on her?

No, she did great. And you should have seen the kids.

[Laughs] I bet wiley was very handsome. And how did avery and donna do as flower girls?

Terrible. Just kidding. Uh, you should have seen baby amelia. She was like-

had this little, pretty dress on and everything. I-I took pictures like you wanted.

Oh.

Right.

Thank you. Thank you for remembering. I’m glad that willow had a perfect day.

Uh, well, listen. It wasn’t quite perfect.

What do you mean? It was too much for her, wasn’t it? It–well, what happened?

No. Some agent from the sec hauled carly into the pcpd for colluding with drew on insider trading.

No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind.

[Dramatic music] Just the opposite. I want you to go all out and expose drew and carly for engaging in insider trading.

Just make sure… to keep my name out of it. That happened at the wedding?

The good news is that carly was released, uh, after a few hours.

Well, do you think that’s the end of it?

Not for carly and not for drew. The sec is trying to find him now.

Wait. I don’t understand. Wasn’t drew at the wedding too?

You haven’t heard yet?

Okay, guys, the coast is clear. There’s no sign of any other guards. I think the best plan is to head to the “haunted star.”

Yeah, but we don’t know how many guards victor has on that ship or scouring the rest of the island. But we have to assume that victor knows that valentin didn’t come by himself.

Okay, curtis, I can go with you, help you get everybody off that boat.

I think a two-pronged approach is probably best.

Okay. Okay, so you want me to get victor’s attention, get to him, keep his attention off the “haunted star”?

Exactly. Do you have any idea how to gain entry into the bunker?

[Sighs] I mean, I’m open to suggestions.

I know how.

We give victor exactly what he’s looking for: Valentin’s accomplice.

[Dramatic music]

There we go. [Grunts] Sweetie pie, now, what have you gone and done?

[Door shuts]

I neutralized the threat-

temporarily, anyway.

I thought I was getting through to him.

He was literally dialing the phone to the wsb. We couldn’t take that chance. He’s got tunnel vision. He would do anything to save obrecht. And doesn’t the bureau strongly recommend against forming attachments?

Oh–[Stammers] T-that’s rather cold calculation.

Thank you.

Well-

how long will he be out?

Oh, he should be out for a few hours. And then he’ll come around with a devil of a migraine.

You know, I for one am really concerned that laura and the rest of the crew-

they just have no idea what victor is actually planning.

Along with everyone else on that island.

Which is why we need to get on the next flight to greenland.

I’m ready within the hour.

I’m ready now.

[Dramatic music]


what exactly are you suggesting?

Okay, I’m saying you capture me, hold me prisoner. You gain entry by delivering me to victor.

Laura, you–you’re here to rescue your grandsons. I can’t put you at victor’s mercy, especially when you and I both know he doesn’t have any.

You’re right. He doesn’t have any, and I won’t have any peace until I see that my grandsons are safe, and you’re not getting past those guards without me.

Laura, you and I have been friends a long time. We’ve trusted each other with our lives.

Yeah.

Trusting me with your life is one thing. Having faith that I can rescue your grandkids is something else completely different. I’m promising you I will not leave the “haunted star” without them. I’d rather die before I let anything happen to trina or your boys.

I believe that. So I’ll go with drew, and I’ll keep victor busy.

[Walkie-talkie static buzzing]

[Dramatic music]

Anna, what are you doing?

What? I’m taking care of business. It’s what I do.

Yeah, it’s what we all do when we’re best at it, but you’re recuperating and you have nothing to prove.

Really? I believe that I have a score to settle with victor.

Ah, you’re one stubborn woman.

I’d say brave. But I do have to ask, anna, are you sure you’re up to this?

I have to see it through.

Is this because of valentin? Is this–is this guy really worth the risk?

You have to stop talking. Okay, I’ve gotta find my clothes. All right.

[Shuffling] I got them.

A little privacy, please?

Wh-what about him?

Well, he’s unconscious, and will be for some time.

Okay, then I’ll just go home and pack a bag and-

wait.

Oh, don’t even think it, you two.

You have to stay here. Not just because we have an unconscious man in my room.

Look-

I’m with anna. If the wsb gets wind of what we’re doing, you can buy us some time, and you can keep us posted on what’s happening here at port charles.

Look, it’s not that I don’t have faith in the both of you. I do. Trust me. But this is probably the most dangerous mission you’ve ever embarked on.

[Stammers]

Don’t forget,

I–what?

My darling, anna and I were both married to you.

Yeah, but that’s-

and we survived that.

That’s a terrible-

barely.

[Laughs]

[Pensive music]

You can get back to work.

What’s the point? Valentin found you. It’s only a matter of time before others do too.

All the more reason to expedite your work.

Time is not the only impediment here. The stabilizers, the surfactants, and the adjuvants are all sufficient. But there’s no 2-phenoxyethanol here.

All right. All right. In layman’s terms, what is going on?

In order for me to make this work, I need preservatives. Single-dose vials. Otherwise, the antidote is too easily…contaminated.

Well, that’s precisely why i have you here, liesl. I know you can get past these problems.

Even if I could solve this preservative problem, this endeavor of yours is zwecklos. Futile. Doomed.

I seem to recall you saying this could be a crowning scientific achievement.

Scientifically speaking, I still do. But we can’t make this happen if we’re caught. I mean, it’s time to retreat and regroup.

If I stop the process now, who knows how long that’s gonna set me back.

You’ve made a valiant effort, victor. And your brilliant plan just can’t come to fruition under these circumstances.

[Tense music]

I suppose you’re right. Just have to reevaluate part of my plan.

Good. Thank you for listening to me.

I have not been bested, not by my son or any doubt. I still hold all the cards, including you, liesl.

There’s a possible location on your aunt liesl.

W-w-where is she? Where did victor take her?

I can’t–I can’t say, ’cause I don’t know. But what I do know is, drew went out to find her.

Drew went searching for my aunt liesl?

Yeah, that’s why he was missing from the wedding. So he went out to find your aunt. He’s gonna bring her home and save willow’s life. Don’t worry about it. I threw the sec off the scent. I got brick to arrange for drew’s name to appear in a manifest for a flight going from san diego to maui. They won’t know he’s not there until he doesn’t get off the plane.

But–but sonny, that was just a temporary dodge, right? I mean, eventually the sec will find out that that was a false lead and go back on drew’s trail. What happens if the sec catches drew before he can bring aunt liesl home?

[Dramatic music] What does that mean for willow?

This is all my fault. I mean, drew did everything he could to discourage me from investing in aurora, but I wouldn’t listen. I mean, you did too. But I was so determined to support you both, and now look. It all came back to bite me. I lost my hotel. There’s an sec investigation. Aurora’s assets have been frozen. It-

just–just forget about that. I mean, aurora’s assets and accounts-

they can be dealt with later. It’s–I think we should call it a night.

Oh, of course. I agree. Willow, why don’t I walk you down to the gatehouse while michael wraps everything up here.

Oh, michael, can you find my bouquet? I wanna put it in water and make it last a few more days.

Oh, and make sure you get the top of the wedding cake. You have to put in in the freezer at the gatehouse so you and willow can eat it on your one-year wedding anniversary.

[Tender music]

[Wind whooshing]

Help me! Please! Help me! Please!

Hey! What are you doing here?

Somebody help me! Oh! Oh, my god. Thank you! Thank you. Help me. Please help me. Now, boys.

[Dramatic music]


Better get this locked away. You can find your own way back. Ah. Words of advice: If you want to stay in this business, outside of sonny, trust nobody.

Not even you?

Especially not me.

[Tense music]

All right. I’ll get my people on it asap. All right. No problem.

[Exhales] I gotta take care of something for sonny.

You good here?

All good.

Drew’s a smart guy. I’m sure he’s taking every precaution to cover his tracks.

But the government-

the government is resourceful. I mean, the fact that drew is missing-

won’t that intensify everything?

Probably so.

[Tense music]

You know, this could interrupt the rescue mission, make it impossible for drew to bring aunt liesl back home, and aunt liesl is willow’s last chance.

Nina, take it easy. I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure drew’s mission is successful.

Okay. Thank you. I mean, surely the sec has bigger fish to fry than carly and drew.

Well, I don’t know about that, ’cause the government, you know-

from my experience, they love to prioritize its money. You know, whoever tipped off the sec… I don’t know who it is, but let me tell you something. They’re not only hurting carly and drew. They’re hurting willow.

[Dramatic music]

Okay, let’s go.

Ugh, I never thought I’d get to the point where I couldn’t walk to the gatehouse.

Okay, it’s been a long day for you.

Yeah, for you too-

and not in a good way.

That’s all right. Diane’s an amazing lawyer. She’ll get it all figured out.

How can you be so sure?

Because I know if we stick together as a family, we can make it through anything.

[Soft dramatic music]

[Beeping] Gotcha.

[Dramatic music]

[Phone chimes]

Dex.

[Tense music]

I met a guy named hume. Handed sonny a briefcase full of cash just for showing up.

So sonny draws a line on running drugs, but he’s willing to help ship weapons of war?

There’s two reasons people wanna ship under cloak of darkness: Either what they’re moving is dirty, or what they’re moving is being supplied to dirty people.

In this case, both.

This deal is extremely lucrative for sonny, but also extremely dicey.

This is it.

This is how we bring sonny down.

Anna. You’re in no shape to go charging off to greenland.

Perhaps you’re right. But I just feel that we’re all in for a world of hurt if victor’s plan is successful, so-

sorry to leave you with this mess.

Oh, that-

I’ve been cleaning up messes for the both of you for years now. I’m highly experienced at it.

Yes, and we love you for it.

[Tense music]

[Shouts]

[Mutters]

Wow. [Laughs] Very convincing.

I am going to bring them home safely-

all of them.

I know you will. Good luck.

Okay.

Okay.

Laura, are you absolutely sure you wanna do this? You can still wait by the sea plane until I give the all clear.

I know you wanna protect me. You can’t get past those guards without me. And then once we get inside, then-

then we’ll think of something. You have to trust I know what I’m doing. Okay?

Okay. Let’s do this.

Okay. So from now on-

from this point on-

I’m your prisoner.

Yes, you are.

Okay?

Let’s get those hands out, please. Here we go.

Okay, not too tight.

You got it.

All right. That’s-

let’s do this.

[Suspenseful music]

I’m sure it fits with your agenda for me to give up now. But my plan is moving ahead. I just have to speed up the timetable.

There’s no way to be certain the antidote is viable without testing it on a human subject.

Yeah, and that’s-

that’s the plan.

I refuse to use trinaor spencer as my test subjects. I will not risk cutting short a young, innocent life.

Would you have the same qualms about using a more mature subject? Someone who’s decidedly less innocent?

[Dramatic music] Hmm. Perfect timing, son.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sheila: Yeah, I’ve been emailing you, writing letters, and no response. I… I almost thought that maybe I should give up. But look, it worked. You came. Thank you. It really means a lot to me that you’re here.

Eric: This is really good, carter. I like how you resolved all these issues. You did a great job. Although I shouldn’t be surprised, you do a great job for this company. That’s why you’re so important to us, all of us, and to the family, too.

Carter: I’m honored you feel that way. And speaking of family, you must be excited to have your grandson back in town.

Eric: Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m more than happy, I’m– I’m thrilled.

Carter: Yeah, it’s good to see R.J. And ridge can’t stop talking about how happy he is to have his son back.

Eric: That kid’s really going places, you know. He makes all these videos. They’re– they’re all over the internet. It’s great.

Carter: Yeah, I follow him.

Eric: Yeah, me, too. Carter? What’s going on? You okay?

Carter: Yeah.

Eric: It just seems like you’re a little off balance.

Carter: I think my mind might be over at the spencer estate, if I’m being honest. Katie went to see bill. She’s with him as we speak.

Eric: Yeah.

Bill: Feels good hearing you appreciate me.

Katie: Well, what you did was very brave. Going up against sheila carter like that, it was risky. It could’ve turned out a lot differently for you. And I’m glad that it didn’t, especially for will’s sake.

Bill: And for yours, too? Maybe a little? I’m glad you agreed to come over, katie. I miss you. The house misses you.

Katie: The house?

Bill: Yeah, the house. I mean, look around. You feel it, too, don’t you? The energy. This is where you belong, katie. This is your home.

Eric: Carter, you shouldn’t let that bother you. Katie at bill’S. I mean, they share a son. They’re always gonna have things to talk about from time to time.

Carter: I understand, but there’s more to it. It’s not just two parents getting together to talk about their child. No. No, no, no, bill’s got ideas.

Eric: Ideas? Uh-huh. And these ideas concern you because you have feelings for katie–

Carter: I don’t wanna see katie hurt again.

Bill: I’m not trying to pressure you, katie. I respect that you wanted some time away from me, that you… needed a temporary split.

Katie: Temporary, huh?

Bill: As far as I’m concerned. You’ve got to miss it a little bit? Me, this home, the place where we shared some of the greatest moments of our lives. I remember. And I know that you remember, too.

Sheila: Thank you for– for coming. I– I’m sure it wasn’t an easy decision for you.

Jack: Every instinct tells me I shouldn’t be here. What do you want, sheila?

Sheila: It is so good to see you, jack.

[ Chuckles ] (Music throughout)

Carter: Bill’s hurt katie too many times already. He’s hurt her in ways that–

Eric: Katie’s smart, all right? She’s not gonna let bill deceive her again. Especially when there’s a– a better option at hand. You two have not, uh, exactly been able to hide how you feel about each other.

Carter: Yes,

katie, this is real.

We just made love.

That’s so much better.

Katie: You’re right.

It was love.

Carter: It’s true. Katie’s become very special to me. I wanna give her all the good things.

Eric: Good. Yeah, especially in opposition to how things have been with him all these years. Look, I’m with you. I don’t wanna see katie’s fragile heart in– in– in bill spencer’s hands.

Bill: Chef said about 10 more minutes. Can I get you something to drink while we’re waiting?

Katie: Uh, no– no, I’m– I’m good. I actually– I– I– I’m kind of rethinking whether I should stay for a meal.

Bill: Well, it’s kind of an important part of having lunch together, don’t you think?

Katie: Yeah, it’s just that I– I should’ve been clearer about my intentions. I– I wanted to come by to reiterate how grateful I am for what you did with sheila, but anything else…

Bill: Because of carter?

Katie: I told you how much I’m enjoying getting to know him.

Bill: Well, how well do you know him, katie? What exactly is going on between you two?

Katie: I’m sure you don’t want me to get into details.

Bill: What about me? You did kiss me, after all, when you found out the truth of what was really going on with sheila.

Katie: Yes, and as I recall, I slapped you as well. Bill, you and carter are just two very different people.

Bill: Well, I’ll give him credit for one thing. Smart man, falling for you.

Jack: This was a mistake.

Sheila: No, no, come on, please. At least– at least hear me out.

Jack: What can you possibly have to say that I’d want to hear, sheila?

Sheila: Well, I’ve had a lot of time, um… to think here, jack.

Jack: To think about your crimes? Good. Sort of the point.

Sheila: About my past and better days. And I realized that a lot of those were with you. I… those early years with you and I treasure those memories. I treasure those moments and– and none of them more than the night that we conceived finn.

[ Laughs ] He saved my life, you know.

Jack: Yeah, I know.

Sheila: Finn didn’t have to do that. He could have let me die. But he didn’T. I mean, that’s the man that you raised. Our boy, jack. Our boy. Tv: Try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod.

Sheila: You know, I– I couldn’t be more proud of our son and the man that he turned out to be. And I owe you thanks for that, jack, the way you raised him.

Jack: What are you trying to do here, sheila?

Sheila: Maybe… we can help one another?

Jack: If you think you could drag me into your madness or that I would ever help you in any way… you’re even crazier than I thought.

Carter: Look, eric, you and I can understand that bill’s no good for katie, but our opinion doesn’t exactly count. She has to know it, too.

Eric: I’m pretty sure she does.

Carter: Intellectually, yes. But emotionally, when you throw that in the mix, there’s a history there, eric. A marriage full of memories. A child they both adore.

Eric: And you’re scared that he’s gonna remind her of that? That he’s gonna convince her that, uh, he deserves another chance?

Carter: He’s already proven that he’s the hero, right? He took down sheila carter.

Eric: That was a team effort.

Carter: Okay, but it all hinged on bill, his performance, and there’s no denying that it’s changed the way everyone looks at him, including katie.

Eric: Look, carter, two opposing things can be true at the same time. On the one hand, you know, bill’s a big hero. He saved his whole family from a psychotic killer. On the other hand, he’s the worst possible partner that katie could have in this world. So, I’m not gonna worry about it. Look, it doesn’t matter how much he rattles on about having a third and fourth, and fifth chance. You have to have faith that katie’s not gonna fall for it.

Carter: I hope not. I mean, how could she ever believe bill’s feelings for her? Knowing deep down, they’ll never compare to what he feels for her sister.

Katie: You say carter is a smart man. Well, I agree. He’s very smart, he’s very accomplished.

Bill: Odd. Where’s the part where we’re supposedly very different?

Katie: Well, he’s never fallen for my sister, so that’s a huge plus.

Bill: Can we leave brooke out of it?

Katie: I wish– I wish we could. I wish you would have. Things would have been really different. I suppose you’ve heard about the pact that brooke and taylor have made. They’re gonna put their friendship first and they’re swearing off ridge.

Bill: Yeah, that pact will never last.

Katie: Well, I think it will. I can’t speak for taylor, but brooke, she’s pretty committed to staying true to it. So, she’s available.

Bill: And I’m sure the right guy is out there for her. But if you’re suggesting that’s me, katie–

Katie: You want her. You know you do. So, now’s your chance. You– she’s all alone. She’s all alone in that big house, so you should make your move. You know you want to. Go to her.

Bill: There was a time when I would have raced right over. I will admit that she had a hold on me. But it had an expiration date and that time has passed. You are the only woman I want, katie. You are the only woman I need. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Eric: Carter, bill’s feelings for brooke will always be in the back of katie’s mind. You have to– you have to feel confident that– that alone is gonna keep her away from him.

Carter: I hear you and I definitely wanna believe that. Katie deserves better than what bill has to offer.

Eric: No, there’s no question about that. She deserves the kind of life that you will give her.

Carter: I’d like the chance. And the way I feel for katie, the happiness I want to give her, the joy, the–

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Carter: The laughter.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Carter: Just put me in coach, I’m ready.

Eric: Oh, you’re in the game, you’re in the game. I mean, I’ve seen the way she looks at you. I’m on your side.

Carter: Thank you, eric.

Eric: Yeah.

Carter: Belated

merry christmas, katie.

Katie: Beautiful.

Katie: I should go. This was– this isn’t productive.

Bill: Okay, okay, okay. Just humor me first.

Katie: I’m kind of all out of jokes.

Bill: Yeah. Humor me by sitting here with me on this couch for a couple of minutes, in this room where we spent so many evenings together, unwinding. You with a– with a book in your hand, me with a whiskey. We would talk about our day and sometimes we would just sit together enjoying the mutual silence. And I would watch you, admiring my beautiful katie. Will you please do that with me? Just– just sit here. Just for a couple of minutes. I want to remember what that felt like. And I want to remind you that the majority of time that we spent together, was really great. So many incredible memories, katie, beautiful moments, positive, happy times.

I said something

when I proposed

and I’m going to say it again,

in front of all these people.

I want you, katie.

I want our family.

I want our life together.

Nothing means more to me.

Katie: You’re not wrong. We– we shared a lot of beautiful moments.

Bill: And we will again. I mean it, katie. I swear I mean it. You are the only woman for me. I want our life back. I want the future that we should have been sharing together.

Sheila: You know, there’s really no reason to be cruel. I just thought that you loved our son as much as I did.

Jack: I do.

Sheila: I gave him to you. I gave you the most important gift that you will ever receive.

Jack: I’m supposed to give you something in return? Is that what you’re thinking, sheila?

Sheila: You’re a criminal defense attorney, jack, one of the finest in all of los angeles. I just– I just have a few questions. I mean, what– what went down to put me here? Why am I locked up?

Jack: Because you killed people, sheila. Because you are…

[ Sighs ] I’m not doing this.

Sheila: Oh, come on.

Jack: I’m not answering your questions–

Sheila: And yet you’re here. And you came of your own free will, your choice. Why? I think we both know.

Jack: Why are you looking at me like that, sheila?

Sheila: Because I recognize it.

Jack: Recognize what?

Sheila: Don’t you remember how drawn we were to one another? And yes, the years have gone by, but that connection between us, it– it hasn’t changed. Yes, we have led very different lives. But I see us as our younger selves and I know so many things really have remained the same.

Jack: What are you trying to get at?

Sheila: You were lonely. Lee was devoted to her career. She didn’t pay attention to your needs and your wants. And I was lonely, too. I mean, that’s what sparked everything between us. What led to finn. And I– I look at you now and I see that hollow look in your eyes and that sadness in your face, as it was before. You’re lonely again. Just like me.

Recap written by Terry

Nate cheats on Elena again with Victoria, while Elena tells Audra that Nate encouraged Elena to choose a location for a romantic getaway. Audra could barely contain her delight to reveal that Nate lied when he told Elena he was going on a business trip alone. Elena, realizing she cannot trust him, vowed to go to LA to confront Nate, who looked at a photo of a smiling Elena before sleeping with his boss.

Ashley is ready to play hardball to get Jack to prioritize the family business instead of Diane, Diane, Diane. She is a threat to the family business, Ashley states, and the media attention from the murder trial will be a feeding frenzy, which will be bad for Jabot. She tells Billy that they should do something now, and perhaps notify the Jabot board of directors of Jack’s inattention.

Jack and Michael, however, are plotting to prove that Diane didn’t kill Phyllis. Micheal is ready to ask some shady acquaintances to get information and dirt on the late Jeremy Stark. Implicating Stark is Diane’s best chance to avoid a murder conviction, Michael tells a very worried Jack, who readily states that clearing Diane’s name is his number one priority.

Earlier that day, Jack is furious to find a grinning and unkempt Tucker in the Abbott mansion, offering him morning coffee and a rose. Just moments before, Tucker offered morning coffee and the rose to Ashley, who said she did not have time for it but kissed Tucker goodbye before heading to work. Let the brewing war over the Abbott house guests begin.

Valentin Cassadine

 

Valentin was thought to be the disowned son of Mikkos Cassadine when he first came to Port Charles, and he was a villain. He took Sam, Jason, Ava, Laura, Kevin and Nikolas hostage at Wyndemere and shot Nikolas, who fell out of a window. He was presumed dead for years. He also shot Kevin and left them all there. Then he met Nina. Enchanted, he had a one-night stand with her and later returned to woo her. He tried to kidnap Spencer but was caught and arrested. He returned and claimed the Cassadine inheritance, including Wyndemere, as his own. He also claimed his daughter, Charlotte, whom Griffin thought was his. He and Nina were together for a while. Nina and Charlotte loved each other as well.

Nikolas returned in 2020, and he reclaimed Wyndemere. Eventually it was revealed that Victor and Helena were actually Valentin’s parents. Also, Lulu Spencer was revealed to be Charlotte’s biological mother. There was a lot of conflict between Nina, Valentin and Lulu, and between Valentine with Laura, Spencer and Nikolas. Also, Valentin played a cat-and-mouse game with Anna, leaving clues about their past. It turned out that he had some major deformities as a child, but he went to work for the DVX. He blamed Anna for rejecting him when he tried to kiss her. Later, they determined that it was her twin sister, Alex, not Anna, that had rejected him.

Meanwhile, Nina divorced Valentin because she blamed him for her brother’s death. He tried to win her back with lies, so she rejected him.  He wormed his way into ELQ, with the help of lawyer Martin.  Later, his father Victor threatened Charlotte if Victor didn’t do his bidding, including poisoning Laura. Valentin couldn’t go through with it. His years spent in Port Charles, along with his love for Charlotte and Nina, have made him a better person. Valentin worked with Anna to protect Charlotte and get rid of Victor.  Along the way, they fell in love. Valentin went from villain to hero.

Tucker: Hello.

Ashley: Hello.

Tucker: Surprised?

Ashley: Yes.

[ Tucker chuckling ]

Tucker: You did ask me to move in with you. Did you not?

Ashley: I vaguely remember having that conversation with you. I just didn’t know it was gonna be tonight.

Tucker: Right. I thought I’d roll the dice. That is if your offer was serious and you meant it.

Ashley: Of course, I meant it. You belong here, as long as you behave.

Tucker: Oh. Is that the real reason why you invited me here?

Ashley: Maybe.

Tucker: You want me to be here?

Michael: Hm. Thank you. So, how was your day?

Lauren: Fine. My day was fine.

Michael: That sounds interesting. The weather’s nice. Feels like summer might come early this year.

Lauren: That’s what we’re gonna talk about? The weather?

Michael: I was hoping we could try to renew some sense of normalcy, you know, get things back the way they were. That appears not to be possible, especially in this place. It’s way too much pain, it’s in the air.

Lauren: I think it’s the perfect place to talk about what’s going on. Because this is the last place we saw phyllis alive.

Michael: Do you want to talk about phyllis?

Lauren: Yes, I do want to talk about phyllis. I have been trying to contain myself and I can’t do it anymore. How do you justify defending the woman who murdered our best friend?

[ Jack sighing ]

Jack: Working late? I like to see it.

Billy: Hey, I, uh, sorry, I commandeered the big chair. I just wanted to stay on top of things in your absence. I know that you’re dealing with other things.

Jack: Please, please proceed. I like seeing you here. You are the co-C.E.O. Thank god somebody is here that can focus on the company, keep it running smoothly. I– I can’t give it my full attention these days.

Billy: Yeah. Well, I can, uh, you know, I can get you up to speed on a few things that could use your attention. You know what? I’ll send you an email in the morning. Nothing crazy. Everything’s good. You know, just the way it looks–

Jack: Yeah.

Billy: Sales figures, that kind of thing.

Jack: Yeah.

Billy: Jack, why are you here?

Jack: I needed a diversion, some sense of normalcy. I– I just came from seeing diane.

Billy: Really? I thought kyle said she didn’t want to see anyone.

Jack: Yeah, well, I chose to ignore her. I told her I refused to let this thing come between us, to tear us apart. What’s more, I told her that I wanted to marry her now more than ever and I wanted to do it right away.

Billy: And what did she say?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Mom?

Daniel: It’s just me. I came back to check on you.

Summer: Did you see her too? – The will states that mr. Marbles will receive

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: Mm. What was that for?

Tucker: It’s for you. For us. I mean, I’m happy you didn’t let me give up and run away.

Ashley: Oh, well, I can’t really take credit for that. I just gave you alternative moves that you could make.

Tucker: You cracked the door open just enough for me to believe that maybe we can make it work this time around.

Ashley: Maybe being the operative word. You know, there’s no guarantees.

Tucker: I know. But I’m glad that we both agreed that this is at least worth exploring. And uh, anyway, it was a very romantic gesture to offer to share your home with me and I’m– I’m rather looking forward to seeing the look on jack’s face when he–

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: When he sees me coming down the stairs for breakfast.

Ashley: I don’t want to talk about jack right now.

Tucker: Sure.

Ashley: Let’s not do it. Don’t you want to see your new pad, your new home?

Tucker: Yes, please show me. It’s very nice.

Ashley: Come on. Come on, bring your stuff. These are the stairs.

Tucker: Wow, you can go up?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: What about down?

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Michael: Oh, come on. You don’t really believe that. You don’t honestly think that I am defending a woman who cost phyllis her life?

Lauren: I do. Christine is sure that she is to blame and chance is damn good at his job. Do you remember when diane was cuffed and hauled out of here and she begged you to represent her and you refused, as you should? That was your gut telling you, you should not give that woman the benefit of the doubt.

Michael: You’re right. You’re right. How could I not? I was reeling. We all were. We had just found out that phyllis had been poisoned.

Lauren: And after jack pleaded with you personally, you still refused. What superseded your reluctance? Your enormous ego?

Michael: How could you even say that?

Lauren: Because I remember you telling me that victor and nikki were giving you a hard time for even thinking about defending diane. So what was this, the ultimate pushback to prove that you can make your own decisions?

Michael: You hold on now. That is a gross oversimplification. I would not just blithely sacrifice my job with victor because my fragile and enormous ego was bruised.

Lauren: Then tell me. Tell me what it was? Because it certainly seems that your desire to prove a point was more important than everything, including my feelings. You knew exactly how I would react with you defending diane and you went and you did it anyway.

Billy: So you asked diane to marry you, right then and there? And she didn’t give you an answer?

Jack: Nope. I’m not sure why. I thought that offering to marry her now would make her see that my faith in her is unshakeable. That I could make her see that I deeply believe she was coming home. That any day now, we could start to rebuild this new chapter in our lives that– that we dreamed about.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you know, jack, I’m– I’m sure she’s scared, you know, and overwhelmed. I’m not surprised that she put the brakes on. She’s trying to get through her life right now, hour by hour.

Jack: I know– I know all that. That’s why I’m doing everything I can to give her some sense of comfort.

Billy: Yeah, I know. I’m sure she appreciates that, but I can’t imagine she was prepared for you to show up and say, “let’s get hitched right now”, you know. As much as she loves you, and she does love you, that is pretty impulsive.

Jack: Yeah, I will admit to that.

Billy: Look, maybe she’s thinking that there’s more to this than you asking her to marry you.

Jack: Meaning what?

Billy: I think it’s pretty clear that you think things are spinning out of control right now and maybe this is your attempt to desperately find something that you can control.

Jack: Billy, the last thing I need right now is you analyzing me. My suggestion did not come out of the blue. We are engaged. I fully intend to spend the rest of my life with her. I was simply moving up the timetable.

Billy: Why don’t you just slow down a little bit, okay? This isn’t something you can outrun, jack.

Jack: What are you talking about? What am I trying to outrun?

Billy: Not that long ago, you were ready to spend the rest of your life with someone else. Someone that you loved deeply. You called her red, and now she’s gone and I don’t think you’ve even begun to mourn that loss yet.

Daniel: You are overwhelmed and emotional and I think I know what’s going on. I haven’t told anyone this, but I see mom too. I see her all the time. Someone walking by me on the street and– and my heart, it skips a beep.

Summer: This wasn’t like that, daniel. This was real.

Daniel: I know that it seems that way. I mean, those fleeting moments, they– they feel real to me too. But our mind, it plays tricks on us, especially in a stressful situation like this. And I think that’s why mom, she comes to me in my dreams and you know, when I’m alone, sometimes I find myself talking to her. I don’t know, it’s just my way of trying to hold on to her, I guess. Trying to still feel close and connected with her. I just keep thinking about the way she died and going over and over all the unanswered questions.

Summer: What if I had answers to those questions? Moderate to severe eczema

Jack: Once again, you have misconstrued things. My desire to marry diane is quite separate from my need to mourn phyllis.

Billy: With all due respect, I– I disagree, jack. It seems like to me, you’re avoiding your pain and your grief by simply focusing on your future with diane.

Jack: Believe me, I have grieved. I poured my heart out at that memorial service. I am not in denial.

Billy: I’m not saying you are, but what I am saying is that you’re not really allowing yourself to understand what’s going on inside of you. I mean, everything has been moving at warp speed since that gala. I’m sure you haven’t had a second to even take a breath.

Jack: God, that is the truth. That party was so chaotic and the chaos hasn’t stopped since.

Billy: No, it’s been a nonstop nightmare.

Jack: No sooner were we passed the trauma of phyllis’s memorial service, and diane was arrested.

Billy: And you’re gonna do what you do, you’re gonna make sure everyone else is okay. From diane and kyle to daniel and summer, without taking a second for yourself.

Jack: Yeah, I suppose part of that might be true.

Billy: You know what? You and phyllis, you weren’t in the best place when she died and I would imagine that would make her loss even harder. Jack, I think you gotta allow yourself to acknowledge who phyllis was to you. How much she meant to you. You two had a rich, deep history and you got to allow yourself the time to grieve that.

Summer: What I know now is that… everything that we believe to be true is a lie. Mom’s not dead.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: Summer, I know that you really want to believe that mom’s not dead. I do too.

Summer: Daniel, just listen to me, please. I know that it sounds crazy, but is it really that hard to believe that not everything is as it seems?

Daniel: We saw mom collapse in front of us. Nate and elena, they weren’t pretending to try and help her. They did everything that they could to save her and now we know that she was poisoned and the ambulance crashed and burned. I mean, there’s not a person in this world that could survive all of that.

Summer: What if she survived? And it was all a part of this scheme that was orchestrated by jeremy stark. I mean, you thought that he was involved from the beginning, didn’t you?

Daniel: Yes. But I– I–

Summer: Don’t you see, can’t you see it? He played on all of mom’s emotions. He forced her to be part of his plan for revenge against diane. And frame diane for murder. Mom didn’t have a choice. And even though she regretted things that she’s done, she was– she was trapped.

Daniel: Look, even if any of that is true, why wouldn’t mom come home now? They found stark’s body, she’d be free to come back to us.

Summer: Not if she was the one that killed him.

Daniel: Oh my god, summer. Oh, my god.

Summer: Daniel, listen to me. It was an accident. She was trying to get away from him and she can’t come back to us because then she would be arrested for his murder.

Daniel: If it was self-defense, why wouldn’t she come back and explain everything?

Summer: Because who would believe her? Who would believe her? She would be the one in jail right now for murder instead of diane. Daniel, we have to do something. I don’t know– I don’t know what, but we have to do something. We can’t just let our mom slip away from us forever.

Michael: That’s not at all the way it happened. I didn’t just deliberately take diane’s case to go against your wishes.

Lauren: Then why did you?

Michael: It was victor and nikki’s rush to judgment. They had diane tried and convicted without any awareness of the facts. They didn’t just suspect diane was to blame for phyllis’s murder, they knew it.

Lauren: So, who cares what victor and nikki think, right?

Michael: That’s when I realized that’s just the kind of jury that diane’s gonna go up against in court. A bunch of biased people who have already made up their mind. Everybody deserves legal representation. Guilty or innocent and they deserve an attorney who works to make sure that the system is– that the system works fairly for everybody.

Lauren: Well, I can’t argue with that.

Michael: Exactly.

Lauren: But there are other top attorneys that could have defended her. Lawyers with no emotional ties.

Michael: I think I’m a good attorney because of my emotional ties and you are partially to blame for that. It is why I’m passionate about what I do.

Lauren: Not this time. This is phyllis, our best friend, the victim, the woman who has gone through hell with us.

Michael: You know she meant the world to me.

Lauren: And yet you choose not to fight for her, but her killer could go free because of you. And if that happens, I don’t know if I can ever look at you again.

Are you tired

of washing dishes?

Daniel: Summer, I know how hard it is to let go. I’m dealing with it, okay? And I want you to know that I love you and I will be here for you every step of the way. I will.

Summer: You think I’m a wreck, don’t you? You think I’m out of my mind?

Daniel: I think that you have to admit it is a pretty wild string of theories. But I understand. I get why you would be so desperate for there to be something that would tell us that mom’s still out there somewhere.

Summer: She is. I saw her.

Daniel: If only that were true, it would make everything easier between you and kyle and it would probably fix the whole problem with diane.

Summer: It would change everything.

Danie: Yeah, it would. And that’s a nice thought, but it isn’t real. And it’s not healthy for us to be obsessing over things that aren’t gonna happen, summer. You and kyle, you’re gonna be fine. Right now, there is absolutely nothing that either one of us can do. You should really go home and get some rest. Come on. Just let me–

Summer: So you just don’t believe me? You’re not even willing to consider that I’m telling the truth. God, I just wish– I wish that there was a way to show you. I want to prove it to you. Mom! Mom!

[ Summer sobbing ]

Daniel: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Summer sniffling ]

Jack: For better or worse, there was never anyone like phyllis. There never will be anyone like her again.

Billy: No. No, she’s a one-of-a-kind. And that’s a good thing because I don’t think this world could handle another phyllis summers.

[ Phone ringing ] That’s chelsea. Do you mind if I–

Jack: Yeah, yeah, yeah, go.

Billy: Hey, chels, what’s up?

Jack: I cannot imagine going through life without you. Whatever problems we have, I want to fix them with you. Whatever obstacles life puts in our way, I want us to take them on together. Marry me.

Phyllis: I still–

Jack: Then– then there’s really only one word to say. Say yes.

Phyllis: Yes. Yes.

Jack: Yes, yes. Yes, you– you will marry me?

Phyllis: Just put this on, put this on quick, please. Before I come to my senses, just do it. So, you just want to throw in the towel because of one setback?

Jack: This is not a small setback. And I have you now, I can hold you, I can kiss you. I can spend the rest of my life–

Phyllis: No jack! Jack, something is missing. We don’t have a baby. We won’t have a baby.

Jack: We have each other. We have each other. That’s enough. That’s enough for me.

Phyllis: If anybody was a fool, it was me. I was a fool. Anybody who sleeps with a married man is an idiot. I know you hate me and I understand that, but see, we can get past this stuff. People do this. And that– that thing with nicholas, it– it just– it just happened, jack.

Jack: That thing with nicholas didn’t just happen. See, first, you have to take off your clothes.

Phyllis: Listen, I never meant to hurt you. I honestly didn’T.

Jack: You know what? You’re absolutely right. Anything you say right now would be meaningless. Yeah, I know, you love hanging out with me. You know what though? We’re gonna get you out of here and we’re gonna get you to a hospital and you’re gonna have this little girl. And she’s gonna have a full head of red hair.

Phyllis: And nick will see her born.

Jack: Yeah, I could use a sub. Think I need a breather, coach.

Phyllis: I hope you didn’t mean that.

Jack: Why? What?

Phyllis: Because my water just broke.

Jack: What?

Phyllis: I don’t even know if I’m the right person to help you through this, but I’m here and I’m staying. Unless you want ashley or– or tracy to come up, we can call them?

Jack: No no, no, I don’t want anybody else. Look, I know– I know I keep saying this over and over again, I couldn’t do this without you, red. Maybe the reason I didn’t move on with my romantic life was because I already was with the most amazing woman I’ve ever known. Maybe you set the bar too high, red.

[ Phyllis chuckling ]

Phyllis: Listen, I don’t– I don’t think you should say things that you– you might not mean.

Jack: I’m not saying this because I’ve had too much to drink. I’m saying it because it’s true. I have never stopped loving you and I don’t think I ever will. This isn’t charmin!

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Vo) is she tired? Sad? Bored?

Tucker: Home sweet home.

Ashley: You didn’t bring a lot with you.

Tucker: Yeah, I haven’t officially checked out of the athletic club.

Ashley: I see. So you didn’t think that my invitation was sincere?

Tucker: Can you blame me?

Ashley: No.

Tucker: I have a question though, about the arrangements. Jack is not the only one who lives here besides you. How are the others gonna react?

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah, it’s gonna be awkward, right? But you know what? They’re gonna adapt because everybody in this household has bigger things on their mind than you. And besides, I mean, if you haven’t noticed it’s a pretty big place.

Tucker: It seems like it, yeah. Well, I promise I’ll– I’ll try to give tracy and carla and summer all the breathing room they need.

Ashley: I hope that doesn’t mean you’re gonna hole off somewhere and be a hermit.

Tucker: Does that sound like me?

Ashley: No, but maybe I can see you somewhere sitting in your new sanctuary, nursing your favorite beverage. Brooding, perhaps.

Tucker: Why would you go there?

Ashley: Because the tucker mccall I know doesn’t handle being at loose ends well. So, I’m just thinking maybe you should start thinking about what you want to do next.

Tucker: Hm.

Michael: I understand exactly how you feel. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I knew I had let phyllis’s murderer walk. But I truly believe diane’s telling the truth. Look, I’ve known a lot of bald faced liars in my life, yeah. And I have developed excellent radar for the art of lying and diane is telling the truth. She believes she’s innocent. That’s why, to her, the only logical conclusion is that she was set up. Unfortunately, the man to blame for that will never pay for his crime.

Lauren: And if jeremy stark is at fault, then why the hell would he be allowed to get away with that?

Michael: Because his body just washed up on a shore of a nearby lake.

Lauren: What?

Michael: I’m afraid so. And now I’m left with more questions than before. You can’t get answers from a dead man. The fact that I can’t call jeremy stark to the stand makes it a hell of a lot harder to keep diane out of prison. But I’m not gonna let that happen because that means stark would win, even from the grave.

Billy: You okay?

Jack: Yeah, I– I– I will be, eventually. It may take some time for me to grasp that I will never see phyllis again. Still longer to accept that– that long beautiful story ended in so much anger and resentment.

Billy: I know it’s difficult jack, but I think it’s important that you acknowledge what she meant to you in your life.

Jack: You were right. When did you get so wise? You were spot on. I needed to look back before I could begin to look forward.

Billy: I’m glad I could be of service.

Jack: You were wrong on one front.

Billy: Oh?

Jack: I am more determined, more eager than ever to marry diane and not as a diversion from mourning over phyllis. As an acknowledgment that life is short. Life is fragile. Life is too precious to waste another minute. I can’t let her shut me out. I can’t lose her, not now.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I know that you feel like you’ve got to do the big brother thing and protect me, but I– it’s not what I need.

Daniel: I don’t– I don’t see it like that. I am not trying to be your big brother. I just think that we need to look out for each other right now.

Summer: But you’re looking at me like I’m crazy. I haven’t had a psychotic break with reality. I promise you that.

Daniel: But what you’re telling me–

Summer: I know! I know that it sounds impossible. I mean, what do I have to do to prove it to you? I mean, do you need– do you need to see mom with your own two eyes? Could I have her call you or something?

Daniel: Call me? Are you making plans to see mom again, summer?

Summer: No. No, I don’t have plans to see mom again, but I know that I’m going to, and you will too. I don’t know when, I don’t know where but she’s gonna come back.

Daniel: I wanna believe you, summer. I wanna believe you more than anything, but it’s not gonna happen. She’s gone. Mom is gone, she’s gone! New vibrant from air wick.

Daniel: Summer, I am sorry. I am not trying to be dismissive and the last thing I want to do right now is hurt you.

Summer: This isn’t about my feelings. This is about the truth. I talked to her. She told me what happened.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, let’s play this out. We take this story to christine and to chance, okay? We tell them that diane’s innocent, stark, he’s guilty and he’s murdered by the hand of mom, who somehow miraculously is still alive. What then, huh? What do you think’s gonna happen? They’re either gonna react the same way I did or they’re gonna pursue it. Now if they pursue it, we’ve got two possible outcomes. They hit a brick wall, we wind up right back where we started–

Summer: Or they find her. And they bring her home to us.

Daniel: But if they find her, highly unlikely. But say that they find her, what do you think is gonna happen? They’re gonna arrest her, they’re gonna charge her with murder. They’re gonna put her on trial and then diane’s gonna be set free, mom’s gonna be locked up in jail.

Summer: So you’re saying there’s nothing we can do?

Lauren: I don’t doubt that stark played a part in what happened to phyllis. I mean, that sudden ludicrous marriage? That raised all sorts of suspicions in me. But he’s just a low-life criminal and I will not shed a tear for him.

Michael: But?

Lauren: But even if he’s guilty, that does not make diane blameless. You and I both know diane’s hatred of phyllis was real. So, no, I will not share in your belief in her.

Michael: You don’t have to believe in diane. You just have to believe in me. I would never betray you and phyllis that way. You are two of the strongest, most resilient, most determined women I have ever met. That’s why I’m doing this. Seeking justice for diane and phyllis. They both deserve to have the true story told. I believe what I’m doing is right and decent. Why can’t you have faith in me?

Ashley: Cheers.

Tucker: Cheers.

Ashley: When you sold mccall, it was a very big deal.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: Right. I mean, the company is a part of you, body and soul. I’m sure you could look at it, no matter what was going on in your life. You could say, “I built that, that’s my legacy.” It gave you a sense of purpose, success.

Tucker: Yeah, it did. Nobody can take that away from me.

Ashley: That’s true. And your whole identity was kind of tied up in mccall so that when you sold it to victor, I mean, you kind of have to figure out who you are now. Look, I’m just a little concerned that if you don’t have a plan, you’re gonna end up regretting your decision.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, I’m letting go of the past, fully. The future feels wide open, I’m kind of excited about it. And it’s not as if I’m out here wandering aimlessly.

Ashley: Okay. So what’s your plan?

Tucker: Okay, here’s the plan. Are you ready?

Ashley mm-hmm.

Tucker: I’ve got some unfinished business here in genoa city. I’ve got some refocused priorities.

Ashley: Like?

Tucker: Like devon for one. Rebuilding his trust, getting to know my grandson a little better.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: And then there’s ashley.

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: Yeah. Making myself irresistible to her. That’s gonna be a full-time job.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Hm. I’m gonna have to wine and dine her all over the world.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Ply her with my unique brand of charm, which no woman in the world can resist.

Ashley: Hm. Well, that sounds very exciting.

Tucker: Yes, you should meet her.

Ashley: But I think that you might have to have something else in mind besides that.

Tucker: No, no, no. I’m planning on seducing her 24/7. I’m just gonna have to take some breaks for sustenance, but… beyond–

[ Door opening ]

[ Door shutting ] Just between us, you know what’s better than mopping?

Tucker: Jack, hello.

Ashley: Tucker’s my guest, jack, and you should probably get used to seeing him more often around here.

Jack: And why would that be?

Ashley: Because I asked him to move in.

Jack: Tucker?

Ashley: Yes. Tucker. You keep telling me that your personal life is none of my concern, so I figured it must work both ways.

Tucker: That went well.

Lauren: I do have faith in you. That will never change. But even if diane doesn’t have blood on her hands, I will never see her as innocent because she made phyllis’s last months a living nightmare. And I know– I know phyllis brought a lot of that on herself, but she paid too dearly. Because of diane, phyllis left us way too soon. You know what? You’re right. We shouldn’t be here. This is just too painful.

Daniel: I feel just as lost as you do. And honestly, I don’t think there’s a single thing that either one of us can do to fix it. I promise you, we will get through this together. You and me because that’s what mom would want.

Summer: She would, wouldn’t she?

Daniel: Yeah, she would.

[ Summer exhaling ] Come on, I’ll walk you home.

Summer: I just need one more minute.

Phyllis: Whatever you decide, I love you. I’ll never stop loving you. Okay? Uh, I have to go.

Summer: I’m gonna miss her so much.

Daniel: Me too.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Daniel: Ready?

Jack: Next week on the young and the restless… morning.

Tucker: Coffee?

Audra: Did nate tell you he was going to L.A. Alone?

Elena: Yes.

Audra: Well, he didn’T. He went with victoria.

Chance: If you know something or if you’ve learned something new, you can tell me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey baby. I brought you some fruit and Greek yogurt. Ah. Oh. I guess they just call it yogurt here. Come on. I’m not hungry, baby. You gotta eat something. You barely slept last night. What are you running on? Fumes? I’m just, I’m just so worried about both. Listen to me.

Your brother is every bit the merchant Marine I met over 40 years ago. Now, if anybody can get through this, it’s Bo Brady from your lips. Oh, Roman. Hey, I am so glad you’re here. Me too. Sis. Me too. Can you believe us? Well, to be honest with you, I think I’m still in shock. I mean, our little brother. He outruns the grim Reaper only end up right back at death’s store.

Now how the hell did that happen?

I came as soon as I heard. I can’t believe that. Is Dad really alive? Yeah, no, thanks to me.

It’s Donovan. Commander Michaels, I take it you’re here to talk about your uncle. Be the phone half the night with my mother, which is a wreck. Yeah, I’m, I’m sorry for what your family’s going through. Why are you apologizing? I’m happened to my uncle be Wasn’t your fault. Not so sure about that.

The true miracle.

That’s what a nurse called it. And your heart started being again, Angela? Yeah. That’s her name. She said she’d never seen anything like it. Bo I, I, I can’t say that I’m. Completely surprised by it. I mean, I,

I knew you’d never give up. You’d never stop fighting

and.

What happened? He was shot. You survived. He took me at, I need to get the doctor in. No, no, no. Don’t leave. I have to tell him, you woke up.

I don’t wanna be part ever again. We promise.

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

Did you speak to the kids? Well, I got about halfway through Colin and remembered it was the middle of the night back in St. Oh, right. Thomas and Charlotte don’t stay up until two in the morning. No, not usually.

I told ’em to, uh, call me when they wake up. So you seem like you’re deep in thought. It’s on your mind. I, um, I was just thinking about how lucky I am when I’m here in your arms. I have my mom back. Papa is safe. I just pray that God has one more miracle left for my uncle boat.

I mean, damn, I, I don’t know what to feel. Bo’s have been gone so many years and now he’s back alive. I hear you man. I can’t tell you what it felt like to walk in that room, in that police station and see Bo’s faces. He gonna pull out of this. Okay, Brianna now know the bullet. Did a lot of damage. Hope’s in with him now.

Hmm? Hope what? She must be going through. Yeah. Uh, I’m gonna go check on her and see if there’s any change. You wanna come? Uh, you know what, uh, no, no, not yet. I, uh, I just think I need to, uh, give my bears. Yeah. Hey, I’ll keep this dude company. You go ahead, baby. Okay. Oh.

So, uh, how is Hope holding out? Well, about, like, you’d expect, Sean’s the one I’m worried about. I mean, how is that poor kid ever gonna get over shooting his own father? Uncle Steve told me what happened. Sean, you thought that dad was trying to hurt mom, but he wasn’t Sierra, he mom had gotten through to him.

She had, she had reminded him of all the memories that they once shared and he. Look, he was dad again. Maybe you didn’t know. Yeah, but I should have. I mean, how good. I should have realized that mom, mom is the one person that that can always reach him no matter what. Hey, that’s how powerful the love is.

But no, what do I do? I go in there. Guns please, like an idiot. Stop. You can’t blame yourself for trying to save mom’s life, okay? And mom doesn’t blame you either. And when Daddy wakes up, look, if he wakes up, don’t talk to me like that, okay? Don’t say that. Because we just got him back after all these years, and I refuse to believe that God is cruel enough to take him away from us again.

I wanna believe that you’re right. I am Ray. Okay. No, come on. Let’s go see him. You listen. You go ahead. You’re not coming.

I’ll be in there in a minute. Okay, but you have. Seen him, right? Sean, you haven’t Listen, Sierra, I, I can’t. Okay. I can’t, I, I, I can’t face him. I don’t want to, I can’t face mom. I not after what I did. Like it’s No, just, just not, yeah. Okay. Okay. Take all the time you need. But I’m gonna repeat myself. Nobody blames you.

All right? This is not your fault.

Up time,

come back to

our.

Thank God. Okay, let me look at you. Beautiful as ever. As are you

back?

Same.

Let me see if, uh, two semesters of Greek and college paid off.

What’s it say? Uh, nothing. Nothing that we didn’t already know. Post. Got a tough fight ahead. We know what a fighter is. We. Yeah, we do.

I had a dream. He woke up.

I’m sitting right in that chair. He opened his eyes. He smile at me. Is it face to face?

This could be a good sign, mate. Yes, definitely. There are so many people out there praying for Paul, have him come back to us. He survived so many things. We have to have faith that he’s gonna survive this too. Amen to that.

It’s really him. It’s really, oh my God.

It’s me and Sierra. Oh my God. I love you so much.

Do you think he can actually hear us? Maybe he can hear me. Yes, he knows you’re here. Honey. Daddy, I miss you. I miss you every single day

and I cannot wait for you to meet your grandson. Your little bow. Sierra, did you say, Sean when you went. Um, yeah, yeah, I saw him. Um, and I tried to get him to come with me, but he wasn’t ready. He’s blaming himself for.

You don’t have to do that.

There you go, buddy. Might help with the jet lag.

Lag. That is the least what I’m thinking.

I bet Roman, listen, I know why you don’t want to go in there and see Bo. It’s because as relieved and happy as you are that he’s alive. You’re also devastated by what he likely did to Kate. What he likely did killed her. Steve, hey, that wasn’t Bo, and you know it, he was under Megan’s control. My brain knows that, but my heart, look, I want nothing more and for Bo to come out of this for hope, their kids, their grandkids, help for our whole family.

But how can I ever look my little brother in the eye again and know the fact? That he took Kate away from me. I’m gonna go give Steve and Roman an update. Okay. I’m Flo Romans here too. Yeah, he just arrived. They’re in the waiting room. They’re gonna be so excited to know that you’re here.

Look, mom, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

Look at me. You did what you were trained to do. Listen, I don’t give a damn about my training. I shot my father because you thought that I was in danger and you were protecting me. I know that. And you know that it’s exactly what your dad would’ve wanted you to do to protect me.

You’re right. You’re right. You’re right. I should be comforting you right now. No, I, I’m fine. No, mom, you’re not fine. When was the last time you slept, you had something to eat? I’m not hungry. I’m not leaving until dad wakes up. If you don’t know how long that’s gonna be. Look, mom, she’s right. You’re not doing anybody a favor by running yourself into the ground.

How did I end up with such stubborn children? Gee, I wonder why. I mean,

I guess I could use a shower and change your clothing. Mm-hmm. And a nap. I want you to get some sleep. Come on. Do you have a hotel anywhere nearby? Yeah, right across the street. Okay, good.

You won’t leave this room, you’ll stay with your dad. If anything changes, you’ll call me immediately. Of course, we are not gonna leave this room right, Sean? That’s right.

I’ll

you not leaving.

Do not wait till I get back.

I love you dad so much.

We need you.

We need you right now. More than that.

So come back to us.

Please come back to us.

You knew was alive and didn’t say anything. Not even to hope. It’s not my finest hour. I’m surprised nobody in your family told you. I saw you at the door and I thought you were here to arrest me. No, actually, I was here to thank you. Thank me for returning Thomas Banks in the missing prisons to ISA custody.

Are you still feeling grateful? Now that you know what I did Alive O Mission, especially one of this magnitude is pretty egregious. But it’s not exactly criminal. I’m not sure the rest of your family feels that way. Have you spoken to Hope? No. Hope’s got enough on her mind. I’m sure I’m the last person she wants to talk to,

but I did get an earful from your cousin, Stephanie. Stephanie, I guess you could say that. She’s not my biggest fan. I can just strangle that bastard if he’d come clean about my Uncle Beau being alive earlier. The literal Greek tragedy of Sean shooting his own dad would’ve never happened. We don’t know that.

Wait, are you defending Michael’s? What? No, I’m, I’m not. It was a dick move that he didn’t tell us about Beau, but he helped us with Thomas Banks. He practically saved my life. Okay. Okay. So he is not completely irredeemable, but he’s damn close. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I’d lost you. Well, I’m still here.

You almost weren’t. You risked your life to help me rescue my parents.

I think Thomas Banks forgot that my father was the Phoenix. You know, I’ve, uh, I’ve risen from the ashes a few times in my day. Mm. More lives than a cat, huh? And I wanna spend them all with you.

What’s wrong? I just, I just feel guilty. My family’s at the hospital rallying around my uncle, and I’m here. In your arms.

Your parents said they would call you if there was a change, right?

You’ve been there for your brothers, your parents. They’re there for me and my kids and I was at my lost

It’s time. Let there be someone there for you in this case. In this case me, hopefully.

You talked me it? Yeah. Mm-hmm. That’s what I was calling for.

I just got a text from Hope. She said she’s gonna go to the hotel and freshen up. I know her. It won’t be for long. Is uh anybody in the room with Bo now? Yeah, sir. And Sean. How’d you join them? I think it’s a good idea. Roman. That’s your baby brother in there. Go see him.

Okay. So I know how hard this is for him. Yeah, it sure is. He’s uh, Have hard time with what Bo did to Kate. What we think Bo did. Yes, I know. We have no way of knowing what really happened. That’s right. All we have is the word of a man who was programmed against his will. I know that right? Hey, oh, Andrew Donovan.

Get over here. Oh. Oh. Hi Steve. How you doing buddy? Hey, doing good. How’s Uncle Bo? Well, he’s uh, in the trauma unit. Um, he hasn’t regained consciousness. I tracked down the surgeon who operated on him last night. Turns out they found something in his brain, something very interesting. Really, that wasn’t in his chart.

What’d they find this? He looks like he’s sleeping and just like he did when he dozed off. When we would watch Cup games together.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, um, did, uh, did Ben and Little be come with you? No, Ben wanted to come, but I didn’t wanna leave, be with a sitter. I didn’t know how long I was gonna be here. So

we’re bell and clear? They’re good. Good. The bell’s, bell’s. Checking in on Victor and, and Doug and Julian. Claire, she has to fly out here, but I told her to hold off until we knew more. Yeah, that’s a good idea.

Oh, also, I, uh, I talked to Chelsea. Oh, nice. Is she coming? Um, she really wanted to, but her obstetrician told her to stay in bed. Peter obstetrician she. What? Is she pregnant too? Yeah, we’re both pregnant. You hear that? Dad? You got so many more grandkids coming your way. Oh God. Let’s just, let’s just hope that he’s around to be able to meet them.

He will be. Right. God, you’re gonna spoil those kids so much. You are gonna give us all parenting advice whether we ask for it or not. You are gonna be the most involved grandparent on the planet for so many years. Just watch. You’ll see. Right Dad,

please God,

don’t take off me again.

You’re leaving. Yeah. I figured it’s best for everybody serve you. I don’t, I’m not really sure.

I just came back to shower and changed. How’s,

he’s in a coma. The doctors don’t deliver. Wake up. I’m so sorry. Why didn’t.

Why didn’t you tell me he was alive the moment you found out? Why? Why? Because I’m selfish.

Because I knew The moment that you found out whatever you and I had would be, it would be over. And that’s not even the excuse That is the reason. And I know this is not an excuse either, but Bo warned me not to tell you because he said, if I did, you and your family would be in danger. Paris, you of all people know what it’s like to be into Jamaica, into control.

They said that then you knew it was him. Not speaking. That was her. I, I, I had an idea. That’s why I came. I came clean. I hope I, I trusted you.

I trusted you. You should have come clean soon. I wish I had. You have no idea.

I.

I just, I just wanna say this. I, I screwed up. Okay. I know I did. It’s just that after everything we faced and, and nearly losing you, I thought,

and I thought we had sense, uh, had something real because.

I’ve never had that.

I, I just didn’t want to let go.

I really did care about you.

I cared about you two ever.

But Post, she’s the love of your life.

I wish we could stay like this forever. Yeah, me too.

I know your family needs you. Yeah, they do.

After the hell that everyone’s been through lately, I just.

I let it not get worse.

I mean, if my Uncle Bow doesn’t recover, hey,

don’t you?

I need you to be positive, okay? And I know you know this, and I know I don’t need to say it, but I’m gonna say it anyway. I’m I,

so this chip was in my brother’s brain, and I would explain how Megan Hathaway was able to control him. The ISA has dozens of case files on the dam. Mayors using this kind of tech to manipulate people and doing their bidding. Well, I don’t have to read those files, do I baby? I lived it. They did it to you?

Yeah. Rolf put one of those ships in my brain to make me think I was stephano. He used one on hope too. Two. That family, the gift that keeps on giving. Tell me about it. I wonder if there’s a way to access the memory on this thing. Good thinking. If we can find out what Bo was up, sir, when he was under Megan’s control.

It’s only one way to find out.

Oh God. Oh, sorry. I just, I didn’t get, um, any sleep on the plane. No, that’s okay. But what? Hey, why don’t you go over to the hotel with mom, find the pen. Hell no. Shawn got here. You take shine bike, Sierra, two big brothers or right? Everything. Oh my God. I’m Hi. Hi.

Oh man. Up to you.

So I, uh, here you’ve been, uh, beating yourself up very good with good reason. Everybody’s been letting me off the hook, but, um, look, I should have just waited. Yeah, and your mom would be lying here. Or worse, you don’t know that you thought your mom’s life was in danger. And it was, there’s not a person I know that wouldn’t have done the same damn thing.

Now, come here.

Okay? You listened man. Okay. This is not your fault. You get that? Can you hear me? This is not your fault. You are a damn good man, nephew. I’m proud of you. I love you. Alright. Okay.

But damn, Megan Hassler. She took one of the best men I have ever known and made him do unspeakable things. Hold a gun on the love of his life, kidnap his own sister and.

Take my cape from me.

Come back to us, bro. Okay.

You gotta come back to us.

Please. Okay. And you know, all the rest of the stuff, everything will, we’ll figure that out as a family. But damn, my little brother, you gotta come back to me. Okay? You gotta come back to us.

Hey, is there room for another Brady? Okay. You. Hi. Oh my gosh. You are a sight for so eyes. And you are as beautiful as the day you married my brother. Uh hmm. Which time was that? Every time, mommy, I’m be gone very long. Please tell us that you got some sleep. Yeah, I’m, I’m good. I’m good. Um, could I ask a favor?

Sure. Anything, uh, could I just have some time alone with your brother please? Well, look, go. I mean, I’ve gotta go check with Steve and Kayla anyways. Yeah, and I am going to call Ben and oh and see how they’re doing without mommy right soon. To my love. I will, John, would you like to come and say hi to your nephew?

Amazing. I love you, sweetheart. I love you so much. I love you so much. I love you. I you love you too, sweetheart.

Okay, Brady.

It’s just me and you. Now, together, alone,

we need to talk about Harris.

Harris, Hey, you leaving? Yeah. We’re on our way to the hospital to see my Uncle Beau. Yeah, I bumped into help earlier. She filled me in. And like I said, uh, to her, I’m sorry that I didn’t come clean about Beau earlier. Hope came back here. Yeah. She said she was gonna change and then head back to the hospital speed with the man she loves Ray, and I know you don’t need to hear this from me, but I’m glad your parents are okay.

Thanks. And the truth is, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to forgive you for not telling us if about Uncle Bo sooner. But you did save us from Thomas Banks. Yeah, we owe you for that. I would’ve been a dead man for sure. If you hadn’t a show. No. Happy to help. Good luck, Stephanie. Yeah, I, I hope your uncle be wakes up from that coma.

I do. He’s got a lot of people who love him. He’s got a lot to live for.

So that scanner is able to read what’s on the chip. Yeah. My ISA laptop is capable of decoding even the most sensitive microchips. It’s reading it as we speak. Well, let’s hope it will tell us what was going on in Bo’s head when he was under Megan’s control. Yeah, it’s possible. It’s also possible that Rolf engineered the chip to.

Try my hard drive liquor, strip of bacon. Let’s hope not. Andrew, when did you get here? Uh, uncle Roman just landed in Greece today. Okay. Uh, What are we looking at? Don’t everybody answer at the same time. Um, the surgeon found a microchip in Bo’s brain. Is that a good thing? Well, we’re hoping it might give us some insight into Bo’s psyche when Megan was pulling his strings, meaning that, uh, we could find out what case slash moments on earth were like.

Do you really want those answers, Roman? I can handle it. Okay. You sure I can stop the scan? Megan’s already put, put in prison. You know, and it’s up to you how it going. I need another truth about what Bo did to my wife and what he did with her body. I owe it to Kate. I owe it to her family. Okay. Then let’s see what’s on this chip,

sweetheart. Mommy loves you so much. She loves daddy too. Mm-hmm. Yeah. We’ll FaceTime again tomorrow. Okay. All right. I love you guys. Bye.

Thank you.

Thanks. That little boy yours. There’s a cute Oh yeah. When he is not being an absolute tyrant. Oh God. I miss my voice so much. I’m sure you do. How’s Ben doing?

He’s having a really hard time wrapping his head around the fact that dad is still alive.

John, when right after I gave birth to Bow, dad’s spirit came down to visit me, his spirit. Yeah. I, uh, I was in distress and all of a sudden he showed up and Ben saw it too. That’s how I know I wasn’t imagining it. I just, I don’t understand how that’s possible if daddy isn’t actually dead. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t know.

No clue. But it sounds to me like he found a way to make his way back to you in a little bow. When you needed him the most. Just like he always did. Yeah. Let’s hope that, uh, there’s still some of that magic so he can find his way back to us.

Harris said that

you told him, um, much lemme know that you were alive.

Oh, I know that. Wasn’t you talking, it was Megan’s brainwashing conditioning her. Whatever the hell she did to you, Bo,

I have no doubt that you, the real you wants to be with me as much as I wanna be with you.

Beautiful eyes,

so I,

come on. Please,

please, please.

It’s gonna be alright. Let it out. Angela, last I heard, I just started my shift, but I had a feeling that you needed a visit from me.

She’s not waking up. You listen. You listen. I know what you’re going through is hard, but you and this man have been to hell and back to be together, so don’t you dare. Don’t you dare give up on him.

Oh my God, Sierra, hi. Oh, wow. Look how you’re all grown up. Ah, well I am a mother now. Oh, I know. Mm-hmm. I’m seeing pictures of beautiful baby boat. He’s just horrible. Thank you so much, Chad. Very, so nice to see you. How’s, how’s your dad doing? Um, nothing has changed really. Mom is up there with him now. Is Sean up there too?

No. No. He, uh, he went to the hotel to give Claire a call and update her, but you should head up there. Your parents are there and Uncle Roman, they’re all gonna be really happy to see you. Thanks. And Sierra, don’t lose faith. Okay? If anyone deserves a miracle from above, it’s your dad.

I would never give up. Not ever. It’s just so hard to see him in this condition. I know it is sweetie. But anybody can see by the way you look at that man, how much he means to you. It’s my heart, my whole heart, and my hero since I was 18 years old. Well, honey, You hold out for that hero. You hear me? You keep fighting for your man until every drop of sand runs out of that great eyeglass in the sky.

Tell that to Bo. God, trust me. He’ll heal you,

Angela.

This right.

I will hold out for my hero.

Do you hear me?

I love you too. I miss you. Come back.

I thought you said it was almost done scanning the chip. Uh, scans complete. You ready? What do we got? It looks like a video file look, a chip recorded video. I guess somehow it was able to. Download BO’S activities through his field of vision. Okay, can you search for a specific time and date? Roman. Now show me Andrew, please find Kate for me.

Okay, just, just gimme a second.

All right. There she is. All right. Hit play.

Bo, you’re not going to kill me. Having your daughter’s grandmother having your brother’s wife. This is. This is hard to watch.

Didn’t shoot me go before I changed my mind. Roman mommy didn’t do it. Bob did not shoot Kate. Oh, could mean Katie is alive. But where the hell is she?

[ Relaxing music ]

Katie: This is why I left you, bill. But it’s also why I love you.

[ Bill sighing ]

Carter: You’re thinking about it too, huh?

Katie: You mean what happened earlier at your place?

Carter: Big step.

Katie: It’s a major step. And both of us kind of said “it,” without saying it, you know? We don’t need those three little words, even though that’s what we were feeling.

Carter: Are feeling.

Katie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. I know that neither one of us really wanted to rush things. Wanted to take our time getting to know each other.

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Katie: And I’m glad we did.

Carter: Me too. In fact, you know, you can stay here and we can keep getting to know each other.

Katie: Oh? Really?

Carter: You don’t need to go see bill, do you?

Sheila: You know– what– what is this room? I’ve never been in here before.

Guard: Your visitor, it’s another inmate.

Sheila: Another inmate.

Mike: Hey, doll face.

Carter: Bill’s made it more than clear that he wants you back.

Katie: Well, contrary to what bill spencer might think, he doesn’t always get what he wants.

Brooke: Oh! Oh, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt.

Katie: Uh, that’s okay. I was just leaving. I have a date with bill.

Brooke: Oh!

Katie: I’ll see you later.

Carter: Have fun.

Katie: Bye.

Sheila: I can’t believe it.

Mike: Yeah.

Sheila: Oh, it’s really you.

Mike: Your old pal, mike guthrie, in the flesh. Surprise, surprise.

Sheila: It certainly is.

Mike: Believe it or not. I’m still in this place. We’re staying in the same five star high class joint. But I wanted to check on you and make sure you were okay myself. I heard about the heart episode. I was worried about you. How’s the ticker?

Sheila: Still ticking.

Mike: But you’re doing better now, right? I mean, look at you. You look like a mill.

Sheila: Oh, I guess it’s the, uh, the five star cuisine that they’ve been feeding me.

Mike: Glad to see you haven’t lost your sense of humor. Kind of hard not to. This place.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, I– I never thought… that I’d be locked up again.

Mike: Oh, yeah. Didn’t expect your savior, bill spencer, to double cross you either. But holy moly, babe, did he ever.

Katie: Don’t tell me you picked those yourself?

Bill: What if I said I did?

Katie: I would ask you what you’ve done with the real bill spencer.

Bill: So, I thought we would, uh, eat by the pool. The chef is setting it up now.

Katie: That sounds nice.

Bill: You know, since you wouldn’t have dinner with me the other night.

Katie: It’s not that I wouldn’t have dinner with you. I just had other plans.

Bill: Other plans. Hm. Like a yoga class.

Katie: Sort of.

Bill: Well. Since the other night didn’t pan out, I’m glad today did. I am seeing you here. In this house. The house where we raised our son. It just feels right, katie. Like you’re finally home. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Mike: Must be rough, being back in the slammer again.

Sheila: I– I hate this. Being locked up like a caged animal, just wondering if this is the way that– that I’m gonna be spending the rest of my life.

Mike: Don’t go there. One day at a time.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that might work for you, but not me. I spend every waking moment trying to figure a way out of this place.

Mike: Well, I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Sheila: Whose side are you on?

Mike: Yours. Always. I pulled a lot of strings to come over here, to visit you. I thought a friendly face might help. Look. You know how I feel about you. On the outside, I can’t compete with the forresters, those handsome chiselled jaws. But in here? Yours truly, not so bad. I mean, look around. Suddenly, mike guthrie’s a real catch. There. There’s that smile.

Sheila: I appreciate it. I really appreciate you, mike.

Mike: I bet I know what else is bothering you. I know how much you love your son. I bet you’re missing finn something fierce.

Sheila: You have no idea. But not to worry. I have a plan to see my son again very soon.

Carter: So basically, bill wants another shot to convince katie to take him back. You know, bill being himself, the man never gives up.

Brooke: Even though he probably should.

Carter: If that’s your way of asking me if I think if katie is totally over him.

Brooke: Well, I see the way katie looks at you, and it’s obvious your relationship is… progressing. I mean, bill must see that too.

Carter: Of course he does. That’s why he invited her over to the house. That’s why she’s there now. This is how it’s gonna go. Bill’s gonna remind her of their relationship, all the good things. You know, their marriage. And then he’s gonna go into the family they created with will, and then, he is going to apologize. He is gonna say sorry for hurting her over and over again. And then, he’ll promise never to do it again. And don’t get me started on all the jewelry.

Brooke: The jewelry.

Carter: I’m sorry, I’m saying more than I should.

Brooke: No, you don’t have to apologize to me. I know you care about katie.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Carter: Confession?

Brooke: [ Whispering ] Yes!

Carter: Earlier today, katie and I basically said “I love you” to each other.

[ Brooke gasping ]

Brooke: What? Really?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Oh, my god, I’m so happy for you two. I’m so happy.

Carter: Thank you. Thank you. And that’s why I think I’m so worked up. I’m just– I’m not crazy about her being with bill right now. I don’t trust him.

Brooke: Yeah.

Carter: Especially when it comes to your sister.

Bill: I still don’t know how he pulled it off. What was he, like five or six? And he– and he tapes $5 bills all over the wall spelling out “happy birthday daddy?” Right– right there. Right on that wall. So, I would come down the stairs and see them first thing in the morning. You remember that?

Katie: I– of course I remember it. I was the one who gave him the money.

Bill: Of course you were.

Katie: But the idea was all his.

Bill: Well, he always knew how to get on his old man’s good side, didn’t he?

Katie: He always worshipped the ground you walked on. He still does.

Bill: You miss him as much as I do?

Katie: Every moment of every day.

Bill: I miss his mom, too.

Katie: Bill, I know what you’re doing and… I haven’t forgotten our family and the wonderful moments that we’ve shared.

Bill: I’m glad to hear that. And there are more good times to be had, and there are more memories to make. As a family. As a couple.

Katie: Bill, I can’T.

Bill: Because of carter? People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Carter: Katie’s her own woman. She’ll make the right decision for her life. For herself.

Brooke: Carter, you don’t have to like that bill’s trying to win katie back.

Carter: Let’s face it, brooke. We all know bill loves you.

Brooke: Bill is a part of my past. A past that I don’t plan on revisiting.

Carter: I get that. And I understand, but still, katie doesn’t deserve to be anyone’s second choice. She’s too special for that.

Bill: You and carter, it’s that serious?

Katie: We never expected it to go anywhere. You know, we’ve been colleagues for a long time. We just started spending time together and we realized that… we like spending time together. I admire him and I respect him.

Bill: Okay. I understand that he comes with a lot of baggage of his own.

Katie: If you’re talking about–

Bill: I’m talking about, well, to put it mildly, that whole mess with quinn. A lot of people got hurt, katie.

Katie: Yeah. And nobody knows that more than carter, and he regrets that it went as far as it did.

Bill: Well, I have plenty of regrets of my own. Most importantly, not cherishing what you and I had when we had it. Losing your faith and your trust. Now, if carter can learn from his mistakes, can’t I do the same? Can you give me that much?

Katie: Of course. Yes, of course. I– I’m not angry. I– I’m not resentful. I am not trying to hold you to a higher standard. I care about you, bill. I always will.

Bill: But you care about carter more? All right. Look, um, I’m gonna ask you a question. I want you to be straight with me. What exactly is going on between you and carter?

[ Katie scoffing ]

Mike: Why would you expect finn, the son you shot–

Sheila: Accidentally.

Mike: Why would you expect him to come and see you?

Sheila: Okay. Well, you already know about my heart attack.

Mike: Yeah. So?

Sheila: Well, I put in a request to be seen by my attending physician.

Mike: Your son.

Sheila: Precisely. Mike, look, finn could have let me die, but he didn’T. I think that speaks volumes, don’t you?

Mike: Well, obviously you’re hoping it does.

Sheila: I’m still his birth mother. I’m the one that gave him life. And somewhere, deep down, I just, I– I know he still loves me. He’s gonna forgive me. He’s gonna accept me and I can’t just sit back waiting for that to happen. I’ve got to make that happen.

Mike: Never ceases to amaze me. Your willingness to keep fighting. But come on, sheila. You gotta be realistic. The fbi nailed you. You confessed to murder one. Those are some big obstacles.

Sheila: Yeah. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. And make no mistake, mike, I have the will. No two bodies are the same.

Sheila: Mike. I don’t intend on spending the rest of my life in this hellhole.

Mike: Like I haven’t heard that before.

Sheila: You’re doubting me.

Mike: Oh, no. No. I learned a long time ago not to do that. But I’ll say it again. The situation is different. You confessed to killing two people.

Sheila: No. No, not two. Just one, okay? The other one was an accident. Besides, I won’t be doing this on my own. I’m gonna have help from the outside.

Mike: Who? Sheila, I don’t mean any offense, but you’re poison. Nobody’s gonna touch you. Look, it’s time to face facts. Sheila, you’re gonna be in this place a long, long time.

Guard: You got a visitor.

Sheila: I do?

Guard: You emailed him.

Mike: Seriously, sheila?

Sheila: He got my email. He’s coming. Okay.

Mike: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? Who are you seeing? Damn it, sheila. Answer me!

Sheila: I’m ready.

Mike: Ready for what? Sheila, come on, talk to me. Sheila, wait. Sheila! I love you!

Katie: I don’t wanna talk about carter and me. I– I wanna talk about you and me.

Bill: Well, I always like the sound of that.

Katie: I appreciate you too, bill. I do. And not just because you’re will’s father, but because of everything we’ve shared and everything that we’ve meant to each other. I can see that you are the man that I always knew you were, that you’re at your best. You’re the man who put sheila carter away for good.

Sheila: What room is this?

Guard: All right. Here you go.

Sheila: Oh, god, that feels good.

Guard: Make yourself comfortable.

Sheila: Thanks. Thank you for coming. You won’t be disappointed, I promise you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Wind howling]

[Dramatic music]

You think they saw us?

Or heard us?

Well, the “haunted star” is docked. Let’s hope her radar is off.

Well, even if it’s not, a radar is usually used to detect debris, other ships, icebergs, things like that. We came in so low beneath the hills, and landed on the opposite side of the island.

We took the scenic route. That explains the bumpy landing.

Well, it’s the safest way to approach victor’s island undetected.

And for bringing home trina, liesl, and your grandsons.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay, so robert’s busy and you’ll be in the “bureau” about stepping up the rescue.

Ah. A lot of red tape. You know, the island is in international waters, so there’s not really any government that can claim it.

No sovereignty to answer to. You’d think that would make it easy.

Did he say anything else?

Well, I was hoping that on reflection, he’d decide that we were crazy to think that victor’s in the possession of a biological weapon, but no, he does think that is the likely scenario.

And he’s gonna have to convince them of that. They’ll need air-tight evidence to get them to take any action.

Yeah, but how do we find air-tight proof?

I called in a favor.

[Knock at door]

Hi. Anna devane. What have you gotten yourself into this time?

[Line trilling]

You have reached

curtis ashford.

Leave your name and number

and I’ll call you back.

Hell of a time to have your phone off, curtis. Call me.

Where’s my mom?

She’s in the interrogation room with the sec. Diane’s with her.

Did they say what it’s about?

All I can say is that your mother’s in a little bit of trouble.

My client is absolute willing to cooperate, even though your interrupted her son’s wedding to drag her down here.

We do apologize for the timing, but this is a very serious matter. We have cause to believe that you colluded to drew cain to raise the stock price of aurora media.

And it could you both to prison.

So how you feeling, mrs. Corinthos?

[Laughs] Happily married, mr. Corinthos. How ’bout you?

Same. Just sorry all this business with my mom, you know, interrupted our night.

Interrupted, but didn’t derail. We got married. That’s what matters. I am worried about your mom, though.

I’m sure this will all get sorted out quickly.

We just spoke to diane. Sec got a tip that carly colluded with drew during the aurora-elq merger last year.

That merger didn’t even happen. What’s the big deal?

What I want to know is what does this mean for you, michael? You had a division at aurora. You’re a major shareholder at elq. Will they bring charges against you too?

[Electronic warbling]

Sweep’s done. No bugs.

Great. Boss wants you to check the perimeter while I get everything set up.

Copy that.

Got you now, kid.

[Dramatic music]

Trina, honey, it’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna find you.

Mom, I’m here. I’m here.

I love you.

Dr. Robinson?

Or is it dr. Ashford?

No, no, no. It’s still dr. Robinson. How can I help you, mr. Baldwin?

Well, you know, you’re here by yourself and I don’t know, I thought maybe you could use a little company since we’re kind of in the same boat.

Thank you. That would be lovely. And I’ve told you before. Please. It’s portia.

Oh. Hi, portia.

[Chuckles] You must be so worried about liesl.

I am, but she’s a tough cookie. And, you know, if you cross her, she’s very dangerous. So I kind of find that comforting right now.

I had not thought of it in that way. [Chuckles]

Well, not to make things worse.

Not really sure that you can.

Oh, oh, oh, I can. You know, just ask anybody. They’ll tell you that. So trina, she’s not a mad scientist like liesl, so those cassadines, I mean, you must be scared as to what they have up their sleeves.

Yeah, I am.

Well, you must be worried sick, which brings me to my million-dollar question. Why are you here at the hospital and not at home?

Simply put, work is the only thing that’s keeping me from completely losing my mind right now.

Holly, I’d like you to meet dr. Andrew maddox.

Oh, why do I know that name? Oh. Right, you were involved in the anamnesis project.

And I’ve been trying to right that wrong ever since.

Well, you have my empathy. A while ago, I got mixed up in something deplorable and ever since, I’ve been trying to help the bureau any way I can.

But andre’s been doing the same. You know, thankfully, he’s been backchanneling into the bureau’s records without raising any alarms.

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to any files directly related to project demeter. But I’m hoping I got you all the next best thing. Back when I was doing psych evals for the bureau, I had access to the complete dossier of the original operation against the cassadines.

The crazy weather machine? That was-

40 years ago.

I’m amazed they didn’t delete all those files, with victor in charge.

Well, I’m sure they did. Fortunately, the wsb is an institution of many fail safes and redundancies, so I just downloaded it off the server.

Isn’t that traceable?

Oh, yes. Once they realize that I did it, they’re gonna come looking for me and I’m gonna have a lot of questions to answer.

All right, then we better find something quick.

Mayor collins, commissioner ashford. I just checked with your office and it appears you are taking personal time. Give me a call back, please.

Insider trading?

Yeah. During the aurora-elq merger.

But my mom lost money. She lost her hotel.

The sec doesn’t care whether your mom lost money or not, josslyn. They care about the timing of the stock purchase.

Jordan, jordan, my mom did not do anything wrong.

I hope that proves to be true, ms. Jacks, although at the moment, there are far more pressing matters going on in port charles than some business deal.

Yes, exactly! Like finding trina, spencer, and ace, and nobody is sure how much longer willow can wait for liesl obrecht.

I’m right there with you, and I have every hope that our colleagues from the sec will treat your mother fairly.

Oh, yeah. Because she has diane. [Scoffs]

And with luck and ms. Miller’s skill, they’ll release your mother as soon as they’re done questioning her.

They’re looking for drew as well. Carly’s not gonna give him up.

So drew went radio silent too?

Do you mean someone else went off-grid?

Hold down the fort here. I need to go check in on somebody.

Brick. I thought you were overseeing things on the west coast.

Eh, wasn’t a problem to fly out. Deal’s important, and it’s a good thing I came, ’cause sonny’s been delayed. Family matters. You know what it is. He shouldn’t be too long, but I’m here. Just in case.

The tip that the sec got only concerns carly and drew. They’re operating under the assumption that michael was in the dark about any conversation as far as the merger. That true, michael?

Of course.

Michael, maybe you should go to the station and be there for your joss.

There’s no way I’m leaving your side.

I’ll still be here when you get back.

Okay, you guys have fun at your wedding night. Have some cake, do whatever you need to do, and I’m gonna go see if your mother and josslyn are okay.

You and drew cain have a close relationship, correct?

We’re members of the same extended family, and he’s my son’s uncle.

Well, you look pretty friendly right here.

[Laughs] As my client just stated, they are members of the same extended family. And another member of that extended family, namely client’s daughter-in-law, was recently diagnosed with stage four leukemia, so when did it become a violation of sec statues for two family members to comfort each other?

Look, we’re not unreasonable.

Yes, you are.

And we do not want to make an example out of you. You’re a private citizen, not the founder of a publicly traded company. This’ll go a lot easier for you if you cooperate and tell us where we can find drew cain.


Hey, I’m sorry all this went down on our wedding day.

Did you call in the tip?

No.

Then it’s not your fault.

[Soft dramatic music]

Hey, you okay?

Why?

[Chuckles] Never made a woman swoon before?

Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you go upstairs, get comfortable? There’s still plenty of food and champagne. There’s no reason we can’t still celebrate.

I like the way you think let’s do it.

All right.

Thank you.

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey.

[Sighs]

I’m sorry, michael. I really hate that things went down like this today.

[Chuckles] What do you mean? It is exactly what you wanted.

So have you checked his office, his car?

Ms. Spencer, we know where he isn’T. Just tell us where he is.

[Chuckles]

Go to hell.

Ms. Miller, do you have any advice for your client at this juncture?

I think we all just heard my client make her position abundantly clear. And as for this tender moment caught by the gh security cameras, well, you could have footage of my client and mr. Cain making out like hormonal teenagers, and you still have no indication as to the actual substance of their conversation, business or otherwise, so you’re gonna have to do a hell of lot better than that.

Your client, who had no previous investments in aurora media, made a seven-figure stock purchase immediately prior to the proposed merger between aurora and elq. The timing alone presents a strong enough argument of collusion and insider trading. Although we are within our rights to hold ms. Spencer for 24 hours without charging her.

All right, well, can my client at least get some coffee if this is gonna turn into a staycation for her? Or is that an upcharge?

[Sighs and clears throat]

[Suspenseful music]

Mom!

Oh, hey. How are michael and willow?

They’re worried about you.

We all are.

Hey. Any luck?

No. Still trying to find a satellite signal. Give me a second.

Okay. Keep at it. In the meantime, guys, gameplan remains the same. Here we go. The “haunted star” docked here on the west side of the island right about 14 hours ago.

Okay. How far are we from the “haunted star”?

I would say less than an hour. I mean, the island is small. It’s less than one square mile. The best way to get there is just to cross over the landmass without getting caught.

It’s a good thing we dressed warmly, right?

You know what? Just so we’re all on the same page, we’re not here to take down victor cassadine? Okay? Whatever he has planned is between him and the bureau. We have to stick to our original plan of rescuing trina, spencer, obrecht, and the baby. This is no time for anyone’s personal vendetta. Are we clear?

Crystal.

So much of this redacted, andre.

You know, they’d have to-

[Knock at door]

I know.

Anna, I need to talk to you about the-

andre.

Jordan. Been a long time.

Years…in fact. So what are you doing in port charles?

He heard about my ordeal and he just wanted to check on me.

Course he did. And I’m sure this has nothing to do with the fact that no one can reach laura, curtis, or drew? And since valentin’s not here by your bedside and andre is, that means something’s going down, so please tell me the four of them haven’t gone off on some half-baked rescue mission of their own?

We can neither confirm nor deny a rescue mission, half-baked or otherwise.

I was afraid of that. I should’ve looped you in. My bad. I’m sorry.

So valentin, curtis, laura, and drew all went off to rescue trina and the others and cause an international incident in the process? Would it help to know that where they’re going does not technically belong to a sovereign nation?

[Sighs] Just tell me how I can reach them.

So you can wish them luck?

To tell them to stand down.

Okay, look. Valentin, he does have a sat phone, but the reception is dodgy at best.

Give me the number.

I will. But jordan, I think it’s important for us to allow them to at least try to bring the hostages back.

Okay, convince me. Why is this our only option?

Because while the world’s governments are sitting around debating what they’re going to do, what action to take, we can run out of time saving them.

What do you mean, run out of time?

We believe that victor has been searching for a weapon of mass destruction.

And I think I know what kind of weapon.

What is it? Holly?

The end of civilization.

[Ominous music]


Said to me and drew last fall?

Michael’s mother knew about the potential merger, which is why she bought the stock. That’s called insider trading, and it’s illegal. Martha stewart went to prison for much less.

[Sighs] Luckily for both of you, nobody has really looked into it, but I think it’s something that you both need to consider.

You threatened drew that you could tip off the sec. Now you have.

Michael.

[Chuckles] If you really think so little of me that you believe that I would send your mother to prison while your wife is dying, then you don’t know me at all.

[Dramatic music]

Well, ned, I guess you’re right. I really don’T.

Do you have any idea where drew cain is?

He was supposed to be at the wedding walking willow down the aisle, but I guess his plans changed.

Well, do you think he got wind of the sec’s interest and bolted?

Doesn’t strike me as the type.

Fine. Well, then at least carly is not antagonizing two federal agents on behalf of someone who ran off and left her holding the bag.

The sec knows about me and drew. Did you say anything to anyone?

The only people that I know that know about this are brick and olivia. They would not say anything.

[Sighs]

Are they still holding you?

Yes. They think I know where drew is.

Do you?

He went after victor to find liesl so we can bring her home to save willow, and if the authorities find him and get in his way?

Excuse me for a second.

[Sighs]

You were with sonny when he was ambushed. What’s your take on the shooter?

He was a pro. He only missed the first shot because I saw movement out of the corner of my eye. But once he had me and sonny pinned, he was methodical, working to get the range.

So ex-military?

Almost certainly.

Mm. But a ghost. Fingerprints, dna, nothing showed up on the database.

Someone invested a whole lot of money to make this guy invisible.

Why send him after sonny?

That’s what sonny wants to know. Maybe pikeman can tell him.

[Phone ringing]

Speaking of the devil. Sonny, what’s up, man? What’s going on?

Carly and drew are in a jam. I need a favor.

Name it.

All right. I’ll get my people on it asap. All right. No problem.

[Sighs] I got to take care of something for sonny. You good here?

All good.

[Dramatic music]

Listen, I know what it’s like, you know, trying to distract yourself so that your mind doesn’t go to bad places. Hell, I haven’t slept in a quite a while. I also know what it’s like not to be able to help your child. Not that this is the same thing.

No, I mean, you don’t have to justify your fear. You love liesl. And we’re both scared for our loved ones right now.

Yeah, it’s the helplessness that I can’t stand. Ever since, you know, trina and liesl were kidnapped, I have a sneaking suspicion that I’ve been kept in the dark by, you know, robert and anna and felicia and laura. You know, I think they know exactly when victor has his martinis. And this whole holly coming back to town, I think it’s all connected to luke spencer’s death.

Why do you say that?

Because… luke ended them in ’81 and they’re sore losers, so victor got rid of luke and now, luke’s family wants to get rid of victor. And you know who’s the collateral damage? Me and you.

Mm-hmm.

Trina…

mm-hmm.

Liesl. God forbid you cross the cassadines or the spencers!

[Sighs] I wish I did not agree with you. But I tell you one thing. I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that spencer cassadine does not come near my daughter ever again. And when curtis brings trina home, I want to make sure that I-

whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hang on. What do you mean curtis brings trina home?

[Suspenseful music]

Um…

portia. Do you know something?

Holly, what did you find?

See for yourself.

What is–may I ask?

It’s the original dossier on the cassadines. From 1981. It’s got conversation between senior directors at the bureau, conversations that even robert wasn’t privy to back then.

Okay, so what we’re looking at here is psych profiles of the three cassadine brothers, mikkos, victor, and tony. Tony was just more interested in living his playboy lifestyle than pulling off any kind of grand schemes.

Mm, so no mastermind?

Right.

Unlike mikkos, who is a megalomaniac entirely fueled by greed and power.

So how is this different than victor?

Well, their actions might be similar. Their motivations were very different, ’cause victor’s always been an idealist. I mean, evil, certainly. And now where mikkos wanted to control the world, victor was always determined to fix it. Like he really believed that these weapons that they were developing would curtail the developing population that he believed was draining the resources of the world.

So is this what victor’s trying to do now?

Project demeter? Demeter, goddess of harvest who was so broken-hearted over her daughter, persephone. That’s what gave us the seasons.

In greek mythology, one prayed and worshipped demeter because she was responsible for the weather.

Is that the threat we’re dealing with? Could victor be trying to reverse the climate crisis? And if so, why would he need hostages?

I don’t know. It says here that weather-related tech is one of the brothers’ endeavors.

[Suspenseful music] Could project demeter be the bureau’s attempt to retrieve all those weapons from 40 years ago?

Scroll down. There’s another weapon that hasn’t been accounted for yet.

Anna? What is it?

It’s an engineered virus. One that only a small portion of the population will be immune to.

How many wouldn’t be immune?

According to this, the pathogen would be lethal to 80% of the population.

[Sighs]

Is this what victor’s idealism has led him to? Saving the planet at the expense of 80% of the population? We have to call the wsb.

No. We can’T.

[Dramatic music]


You are dangerously close to saying things you can’t take back, things that will make you look very bad when the truth comes out.

No, the truth is, ned, you’re the one who originally pitched us all coming together to force valentin out. Then when drew put his company on the line, you double-crossed him. But you still thought he was a threat, right? So you turned him over to the sec. My mom was collateral damage, because we all know that you have no qualms about selling any of us out if it keeps you in power at elq. I mean, come on. You even sold your own daughter out.

Both of you, that’s enough.

You’re right, brook lynn. It is.

[Tense music]

Ms. Spencer, good news. You’re free to go.

Well, what has prompted this sudden change of heart?

We found drew cain. He boarded a flight from san diego to maui 15 minutes ago. In the meantime, the investigation is still ongoing. The charges could be pending.

Understood. Let’s go finalize details, shall we?

[Indistinct chatter]

[Suspenseful music]

What?

What the hell? What’s going on? Why does the sec think drew’s on his way to maui?

[Scoffs]

All right, I’m gonna scope the area, see if I can find a satellite signal before we make our move.

Hey, I’ll go with you and keep an eye out for victor’s men. Okay?

Yeah.

Hey. How you holding up?

I’m cold.

Yeah.

I’m also kind of energized.

[Sighs] All the adrenaline taking you back to a more adventurous time?

Yeah. [Chuckles] Something like that, I suppose.

Yeah. And?

I guess I’m trying to remember a time before all of this madness began. You know? Before the cassadines infiltrated my life. And they tried to take it over the first time I crossed paths with victor. And his brother… I was trina’s age. And now trina is on the “haunted star.” That’s the ship that helena gave luke and me for a wedding gift. And then she cursed it and us. She liked her curses.

[Sighs] I’m not sure I much believe in curses.

I didn’t think that I did, either. But helena’s words have been looming over me for decades, and every time I think that I’ve gotten past it, comes right back to haunt me again.

Okay, so she’s dead. Haven’t you won?

[Laughing] Have I? Oh, my goodness. The cassadines keep finding ways to hurt me and my family. And now, it’s my grandson’s it’s got to stop.

Okay, then we stop it. If you say it’s a curse, fine, it’s a curse. Then we break it once and for all.

I like the sound of that.

We can’t share our theory with the bureau. Not now.

I think we have more than just a theory, andre.

There’s a biological agent that could wipe out most of the world’s population. If not now, dr. Maddox, then when?

Let me put it like this. If you were the wsb and you received this intel, what would you do? How would the bureau react and respond to this information?

Okay, clue me in.

I think what you’re saying is that if the bureau finds out that there’s a large-scale bioweapon on the island that they will do everything in their power to neutralize the threat.

Yeah, but isn’t that what we want?

Not if they send an aerial assault team to contain the virus.

They have to make a choice… between saving eight people…

including a baby.

And saving eight billion. And they’ll just bomb it. They’ll just wipe that island off the map.. killing everyone.

[Ominous music]


What did you do?

What do you mean?

The men from the sec found evidence that drew’s heading west.

Oh, yeah. I hope that drew can stay ahead of them.

Drew wasn’t in san diego. And he definitely wasn’t heading to maui.

As long as it keeps the sec busy, that’s all that matters, carly.

You didn’t have to do that.

Do what? Look, I know things haven’t been great between us, but we’re still family. All of us. Keep me posted.

[Soft dramatic music]

Sorry I lost my cool like that.

You’re worried about your mom. That’s good reason.

Yeah, well, she’d be the first one to tell me not to… not to waste this precious time.

And she would be right. I want to get back to the gatehouse and spend some time with wiley and amelia. Let’s celebrate the start of our marriage with them.

[Phone ringing]

Sorry. It’s my mom.

Take it.

Hey, mom.

How’s willow?

She’s fine. She’s just anxious for you.

[Sighs] Well, it was dicey for a while. They wanted me to tell them where drew is off to.

And what’d you say?

Well, I didn’t have to say anything. They’re under the impression he’s headed to hawaii.

What? How?

Your father.

No, they couldn’t possibly.

The bureau’s focus is the greater good. Protecting the many over the few. And as heartless as this might sound, they’d consider trina, spencer, and the baby expendable.

We must remember, though, that victor did take obrecht to that island presumably to make the pathogen viable. Now if I know anything about liesl, she won’t make it easy for him.

Which means we have some time.

Yeah.

Time for what?

Time for laura and the rest to bring the hostages home before we alert the bureau to the situation.

Right.

It’s a calculated risk. Victor could still release the pathogen.

Well, what’s the point in saving the world if we can’t save the people we care about?

I don’t actually know that much, really. I just know that he left town because curtis left me note.

And I don’t think he would leave town by himself. So who went with him?

Think maybe you should speak to anna.

Yeah, I will. Thank you, doc. See ya.

[Suspenseful music]

Hey, good news. Finally got a sat signal. We’re about half a mile from the “haunted star.”

This is good. Let’s go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. The footprints. Would victor have his guards patrolling this far from the island?

So far no timetable for how long this thing’s gonna last. Just assume we could be here for weeks.

Talk about deserted.

That’s why you’re getting paid a hell of a lot more than your standard fee.


so we all done here?

Not quite. There’s another matter you need to be made aware of.

Uh, what?

Pending the sec investigation, all of aurora’s accounts and assets have been frozen.

What? That’s ridiculous, diane.

Mm-hmm, and so have yours.

Can you believe him? For michael to accuse me like that? Insinuate that I would–

double-cross drew? Secure your own position as ceo, making sure he’s not a threat? I don’t know, dad. Sounds like your standard tactics for me.

Sonny send the sec down the wrong trail to buy drew time?

Yeah, yeah, he really stepped up for you.

Not just for me. For you, too.

Yeah, I get the feeling that sonny had something to do with this hit on drew’s location.

No comment.

Mm-hmm. Then why aren’t you celebrating? Because it was sonny?

Again, no comment.

I know you think sonny did wrong by your mother and michael, but maybe this is a sign that one day, there’ll be a chance to make things right.

[Tense music]

We’ve got company.

Pikeman.

Guards. [Sighs] No doubt a power move. Making sure their boss arrives fashionably late.

We’re ready. Where’s your boss?

Where’s yours?

I’m here.

We’re gonna get this started or what?

So we’re in agreement, then? We’re going to wait for valentin and the crew to try to bring everyone back?

How much time?

I don’t know. We’ll have to figure that out. But we can’t stall forever, obviously.

Well, I have some contacts in the canadian military. People I trust. I can get word that they might want to get in striking distance.

Oh, good. That’s great. Thank you, andre.

And I’ll try to reach valentin. He needs to know about this.

All right.

[Soft tense music]

I’ve already asked so much of you, including silence while we wait.

So you need something else? The worst I can say is no. So ask.

The bureau is probably gonna run this investigation through your department. And if they find out the location of the island or… what victor’s really up to…

I’ll run interference for as long as I can.

Thank you.

Get what’s at stake. We have to keep this under wraps. People would panic if they knew victor had a biological weapon.

[Dramatic music]

[Chuckles softly]

Come home, baby girl. Please, please come home.

Come on, valentin. Please pick up.

We should head back.

Sounds good to me. I’m freezing.

[Phone ringing]

[Tense music]

Did you hear that?

[Phone ringing]

Interview with Perdita Weeks

TV Interview!

 

MAGNUM P.I. -- Season: 4 -- Pictured: Perdita Weeks as Juliet Higgins -- (Photo by: Christopher Patey/CBS/Universal Television)

Interview with Perdita Weeks of “Magnum, P.I.” on NBC by Suzanne 4/20/23

I’m very grateful to Ms. Weeks and NBC for answering these questions. I was scheduled to speak with her via Zoom April 20, but I had to rush to urgent care due to some problems with my spine (I’m fine … it’s an ongoing problem. I was in a lot of pain, though). I hated to cancel it because I had done so much work on these questions and watching the show to catch up. It was truly awesome that they let me send in the questions so that she could answer them via email. She got them back to us fairly quickly, too. Believe me, this is rare! I’m only sorry that this is being put up after the mid-season finale, but there just wasn’t time to re-schedule the interview. I hope you enjoy them!

1.       Has the show moving from CBS to NBC impacted you at all?

It was definitely a reminder of how lucky we are to keep doing what we’ve been doing for a few years now. Sort of feels like a brand new show with characters that we know really well, which is a great place to be.

2.       How long did you know that Juliet and Thomas might be getting together romantically?MAGNUM P.I. -- "Dead Ringer" Episode 506 -- Pictured: (l-r) Jay Hernandez as Thomas Magnum, Perdita Weeks as Juliet Higgins -- (Photo by: Zack Dougan/NBC)

I sort of guessed that’s where we might be heading in Season 4 when Higgins was dreaming about Magnum. I thought they couldn’t dangle that in front of the audience and not let it play out.

3.       What kind of feedback have you gotten from fans about their romance? Has it been mostly positive?

There are definitely those who would have preferred they remain friends, which I understand, because, let’s face it, sex can ruin a friendship– but overall, I think people are pleased they are finally being true to their feelings. And I reckon any relationship that starts with two such good friends must have a hope.

4.       Do you have a funny story from filming this season that you can share?

Can never think of any, but trust me, there’s been plenty of laughter.

5.       So, the show shoots certain months out of the year. Do you live in Hawaii year round, or just for shooting?

As soon as we wrap, I go back to the UK, which is home.

6.       The mid-season finale, episode #10, is quite exciting. Anything you can tell us about filming it?

Storywise, it was a direct continuation from Ep 9. So, same clothes, etc. When you have been wearing the same costume for a week, you do quite fancy a change. Also, I did a lot of yawning in Ep 10 as the characters had had very little sleep, and I thought it made sense, but I think it must have looked odd as it was all cut out. Maybe there’s a gag reel somewhere out there, solely with Higgy yawning.

7.       I asked some fans on social media for questions, so here are a few of the best (you are very popular on there, so there were MANY)…

These are from Facebook, the group MAGNUM P.I. – The NBC Reboot TV Series

8. Alana wants to know if you enjoyed directing the upcoming 18th episode and what it was like?

I loved directing. Absolutely exhausting, as you wear all the hats at all times and every decision is yours as director. Which is great, but tiring.  It was great fun to work with the crew in an entirely different way. They are the best and were so unbelievably supportive. I can’t imagine a better situation to have one’s directorial debut. I count myself very lucky.

9. Will you continue to try your hand at directing?

I would bite the hand off [the person] that offered me another directing gig. Can’t wait.*

10.  Pauline asks, What’s it like being one of two females in a predominately male cast?

It doesn’t really feel like anything to be honest. Once you have spent that much time with people, they are just family.

11.  Y-Yew on Twitter wants to know the latest Hawai’ian slang you’ve learned.

Opala! (Trash. Or, rubbish, as we say in England). And I love saying ‘tasty pupus’

12.  Dane on Twitter said that your character has inspired many people, including his daughter, and he wants to know if that is something you thought might happen and what part of playing Juliet surprised you?

Honestly never thought about it. Just a very cool perk of the job. Love those future women wanting to learn some fighting moves. Juliet is flawed, too, of course, but she has some pretty cool skills, to be sure.

13.  Gesi wants to know your favorite spot on the island.

Love the windward side beaches, sandbar and any ridge way up where you can hear the birds and see the ocean.

14.  Back to Facebook: Diane wonders if you watched the original “Magnum PI” and what you thought of it.

I have never seen an episode to be honest. But I was very aware of it – the image of the red car, and the hunky guy in a Hawaiian shirt. But as far as I could tell, there weren’t too many female leads in it, so in that respect I guess we are ahead

15.  This show has a lot of action.  Hugh wants to know if you do your own stunts.

We have an amazing stunt team and I gave probably had 8 stunt women play me over the 5 seasons. They teach me the fights, and we do the whole thing, except for anything like going through glass, or being slammed from a height. It’s better if we do the whole fight as then they can show the faces. I don’t have any proper training, just what we learn on the job, and I love doing the stunts.If you are looking for bracelet. There’s something to suit every look, https://www.swisswatch.is/product-category/tag-heuer/autavia/ from body-hugging to structured, from cuffs to chain and cuffs.

16.  Dawn asks whether you or the other actors ever contribute any ideas to the show?

Last year Zach created an episode storyline with one of the writers, which was cool. Our showrunner, Eric is great and encourages us to contribute ideas. He will ask me at the beginning of a season if there is anything I want to do. I told him I can ride horses, play tennis and fence – all of which he wrote in to the episodes. I also fancied doing a southern accent last year, and they wrote a storyline around me going undercover as a southern belle which was rather jolly.

17.  Donna wants to know if you like Zeus or Apollo better? 🙂

They are all gorgeous. There are four dogs that make up Z and A, one of which is a girl dog.

*Note, this is a British saying, meaning “to be in such a hurry to take what they’re offering that you snatch it out of his hand, like a dog who is so eager to get the biscuit that he bites your hand off with it!”

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

aw.

Oh, my gosh. You guys look incredible.

Yeah.

You look like real-life princesses.

Yes, but no princess is complete without her crown. Right?

Ooh.

Um, I’ve got to take this.

Okay. Um, here. Help me out?

Oh, yes.

Here you go. All right. Just lean your heads in.

In.

And we’ll put this right-

okay.

Beautiful. Oh, my god.

Let me see. You guys are officially perfect. Right? Turn around.

Perfection.

Yes.

[Laughter]

It’s like you read my mind. I was just thinking how much I’d want you here too.

Hey, you know, the guests are starting to arrive.

You’re so good with them.

Donna and avery?

Strong and confident but still playful and fun. It’s the kind of mom I want to be.

Hey. That’s the kind of mom you are. You’re the best. Right?

[Laughter]

Yum.

What is all this?

It’s called food, tracy.

No, what I mean is, what are you doing with it?

It’s for the wedding. Initially, I was gonna call a caterer. Then I thought, why don’t I do it myself? You know, give it that nice, personal touch.

A wonderful touch, sweetheart.

Yes, just what all brides dream of-

an all-you-can-eat wedding buffet.

For your information, tracy, willow did not want some stuffy, stuck-up sit-down dinner.

You’ll see. It’s gonna be very elegant.

Uh-huh.

Brook lynn, you don’t need to be here. Olivia and I have this covered.

I’d actually prefer to stay behind the scenes right now.

Ah, so you can avoid chase?

Olivia.

What, am I wrong?

Look alive, people. Everything’s almost ready in the living room. How are things going in here?

Oh, not to worry. All of the food is pre-cooked, just like a picnic!

The flowers, huh? All right, so this is where mommy and I will be standing when you give us the rings.

I have an important job, don’t I?

Oh, yeah, extremely. And there is no one I trust more with it.

Hey.

Oh. And there is the beautiful officiant.

And her equally, if not more, beautiful sister.

Yeah. Kristina?

Right. Hey, dad.

Hey.

I’m so glad you came.

So am I. And you look absolutely beautiful, as usual.

You ready for this?

Oh, I think so. Michael said that they’re keeping things relatively simple, so I don’t know. I can’t believe they asked me to officiate.

I can.

Yeah, I can too. You’re the perfect choice, especially given your relationship with willow and michael.

Tj and molly, are they on their way, or-

yeah, they should be here any minute.

Hey, look at this handsome duo.

Ooh, looking sharp, boys.

I was giving wiley a lay of the land.

Whoa. Hey, buddy. You’re gonna crush it, wiley.

Grandpa!

Hey, buddy! Are you excited about the wedding?

Oh, yeah!

I bet. This is the greatest ringbearer in the world.

Yeah, the best.

What did I do? Well, I gave the sec a heads-up that a certain ceo was giving his girlfriend stock tips.

Oh, you told the sec about carly and drew?

No, I had martin grey pass on an anonymous tip that the ceo of aurora media and his secret girlfriend were engaged in insider trading. So basically, I took your advice.

[Gasps]

Never felt better.

Ah, uh-huh. And how long do you think that’s gonna last?

You know what, mom? Can you and joss take the girls up to the main house?

I’m sure they’d love to see how the preparation is going.

Yeah!

Yeah. Well, careful what you wish for, ’cause maxie might put you to work. Come on, you guys.

Aw.

Aw, come here.

Aw, good luck.

You’re perfect. All right. Let’s go, ladies. We’ll see you up there.

Pick up your dresses!

Aw.

There we go.

[Both sigh]

[Door shuts]

Okay. How are you feeling?

Honestly… I’m scared. I just so want this to be the beginning of something, and I’m terrified that it’s the end.

[Dramatic music]


Hi.

Oh, my god. Hi. How are you?

Oh, here, let me get this. Hi, tj.

Madam officiant.

Don’T. It’s way too much pressure.

Hey. Hey, we’re all here. Let’s get dad and let’s get a photo.

Yeah.

Uh, no. The photographer will get that later.

But let’s commemorate this day, man.

Yeah, and who knows the next time we’ll look this good is?

That’s a good point too.

Okay. Yeah, okay. Okay.

Dad. Dad, come here.

Dad.

What?

Okay. Yay, picture time. Okay.

Okay, here. I’ll take it.

All right.

[Camera shutter clicks]

There we go.

Hey, it’s your wedding day. You might want to look like you’re enjoying it.

Yeah, I know. I plan to enjoy every second.

[Clears throat]

Looks great. Okay, wait, a couple more just like this. Hold on. Hold on. Smile.

[Camera shutter clicking] Cute.

I love it.

Oh, my goodness. The gang’s all here. Everyone, get ready for pictures.

I want to be in the pictures.

Okay.

Oh.

Then come over here.

Hey, wiley, come over here for a picture.

Why don’t we take this up to the stairs?

Why don’t we take it up at the stairs? Yeah.

Yeah.

Right up here?

Yeah.

Hey. Hey, I can take the photo.

Um, no. It’s okay. I, uh–I got it.

[Indistinct chatter] Okay. Say cheese. All: Cheese.

[Camera shutter clicks]

Hey, josslyn, you want to get in?

Um, I’m good for now.

Okay. Suit yourself.

[Camera shutter clicking]

You know what? All right. These are so adorable.

Let’s go. Let’s go in.

[Singsong] I want to see the pictures.

Tj. Is everything okay with molly?

Okay, the kids look adorable, but me on the other hand…

what are you talking about? You look beautiful. You’ll send me those, yeah?

Yeah, of course.

[Warming up voice]

Ned, please.

Excuse me. Michael and willow asked me to sing at the ceremony, and I don’t want to disappoint them with rusty pipes.

Wouldn’t want anything to derail this ultra highbrow wedding.

All right. You know what, tracy? I’ve had just about enough of you.

Let’s go and see the guests, gran–I mean, tracy. I’m sure everyone is excited to see you.

Fat chance.

Even still, let’s go. Come on. Okay, this way. That’s right.

Sweetheart, deep breath.

Hmm? I didn’t say anything. I didn’t say a word.

Which says everything.

Exactly how long is mommy dearest planning on staying?

Molly’s fine.

Are you sure? ‘Cause she seems a little off to me.

I’m sure. But I am glad that she has the support of her sisters.

How did the doctor’s appointment go?

Fine.

That’s it? Fine?

I don’t know. It’s private, kristina.

Okay, the davis women don’t do private. What’s going on?

It turns out getting pregnant may be more difficult than tj and I had hoped.

It’s a buffet, not a bout of food poisoning.

Time will tell.

Well, it usually does. So just leave it alone–oh!

Oh!

Chase, hi.

I’m sorry.

Oh, chase, the young man you’ve been hiding from.

What? No.

The policeman who owes you a debt of gratitude.

I’m sorry?

Did my granddaughter move heaven and earth to get your badge reinstated or not?

Exaggeration is sort of her thing. Let’s go find your seat.

Any jitters?

Uh, actually no.

Good.

How about you? Think you can handle the rigorous best man duties?

I’ll do my best, man.

Oh, I like that.

[Chuckles] Hey, listen, you deserve this. You’re a great brother. You’re a great guy. You’re gonna be a great husband.

Yeah, I hope so.

I know so. You’ve been through hell multiple times, and you got someone that loves you just as much as you love them.

Yeah, forever. Whether willow’s with me or not. You know, long, short, or somewhere in between. No matter what happens, dante, this is-

this is the happiest day of my life.

See, and the fact that you know that-

that you can see that–that’s the greatest gift of all. Hey, I’m happy for you.

Thanks, man.

The world is full of beautiful things that end. And the truth is, none of us know when our time is up. And in my opinion, the biggest tragedy is throwing away what we have today worrying about what’s gonna happen tomorrow. You’re surrounded by your family and friends. You’re gonna marry the man you love.

Love with all my heart. It took me a while to know it, but… michael is the one.

Do you know how rare that is? How so many people go their entire lives and they never experience that? I mean, I know you appreciate every minute you spend with michael and your kids, but if today is the only day we get, shouldn’t we make it the best one?

You told me to call the sec. You handed me the phone. You almost dared me to do it.

No, no, nina, I was playing devil’s advocate. I was trying to show you how way over the top the idea was. No, it was reverse psychology. I was trying to talk you out of doing it, not encourage you to do it.

Well, that backfired.

Yeah, clearly.

Carly has yet to face a single consequence for what she did. Had she told willow about her birth mother, me, then willow wouldn’t be on death’s door right now. She could’ve gotten that bone marrow transplant months ago, and she’d be thriving instead of withering away.

Okay, I need to stop you right now because now you are skating dangerously close to alternative facts.

Okay, just tell me one untrue thing about what I just said.

[Sighs] Yes, it’s true that carly was wrong. And yes, she should have told you and willow the truth. But that’s not the reason willow is sick.

She delayed her treatment.

Nina, because of the baby, not because of carly.

But had willow known that-

no one knew. You’re forgetting the fact that willow didn’t tell anybody about her cancer.

You’re not blaming willow now, are you?

No. No, of course not. I’m just simply saying that no one had all the information, not even carly.

Okay, you know what? It doesn’t matter. Carly and drew, they broke the law. And is it so inconceivable that carly should pay for her crime?

Oh, see, but, nina, that’s just it. You send her to prison, it’s not carly who pays. It’s you.


Well, I think that’s it for the prep. I can just play hostess to the guests, at least till the ceremony begins. Hey, hey. Hey, girls. What did we say about running in the house?

Sorry.

Uh-huh. Aren’t they adorable as they cut a path of total destruction through the house?

You blow me away.

Really? Tell me more.

Pulling a wedding together in a couple days.

Mm, you say wedding. Tracy says picnic.

Oh, don’t listen to her.

Hey, guys, have you seen donna and avery?

Thataway. I’m just so happy that I can do something for michael and willow after everything they’ve been through. Well, everything they’re still going through. But also, I had a lot of help.

Sorry, um, have either of you heard from willow?

You are amazing at putting things into perspective. You know that? Okay, no more thinking about tomorrow or next week. Today I live in the moment.

That’s right.

Thank you, carly.

Thank you. No, really, thank you. I’m so grateful that michael found you and that you fell in love. And I pray that it lasts for the next 60 years. But if god forbid it doesn’t, it doesn’t take away from the joy that you’ve given each other for the past two years or the love you’ve given wiley and amelia.

But doesn’t part of you wish michael had never met me?

No.

So he could be spared the heartbreak?

No, willow. I mean, would it hurt to see my son in pain? Yeah. But it would hurt even more for him to never be in love. I love seeing his face light up when you walk in the room. Or you two with wiley. Or when michael’s holding amelia. You’ve given my son so much. And I wouldn’t wish any of that away. I just want more of it for you. All of you.

[Chuckles]

So do I.

Yeah.

Ugh. But we’re not thinking about that today.

No, we’re not.

No. Today we bask in the joy and the love and the light.

Okay. Is it dress time?

[Chuckles] Let’s do it.

Okay, come on.

Thank you. All right.

I love you so much.

I love you too.

[Tender music]

Of course it’s me who pays. It’s always me.

Oh, that’s not what I meant.

Carly has come between willow and me over and over and over again. She has made sure that at every step, challenge, crisis, that she’s the one that willow turns to for support, not me. Take today, for example. It’s my daughter’s wedding day, and who gets to play mother of the bride? Not me, carly. I’m not even invited to the wedding.

Nina, I don’t need convincing that carly is a piece of work, but I do need you to acknowledge what’s really going on here. Why did you sic the sec on carly?

What do you mean?

Just answer the question.

Because carly and drew, they violated-

oh, come on! You don’t give a damn about the security and exchange commission. You don’t care about laws or statutes or shareholders. Just admit it, nina. You wanted revenge.

Aw.

Come on.

Willow. Oh, my gosh. You are the most beautiful bride I have ever seen.

She speaks the truth.

See, I told you.

We’ll see you in there? Okay.

Okay. You look beautiful.

Hi, mommy!

Hi. Are you ready to be the best ringbearer ever?

You look pretty.

Thank you. And I’m sure your daddy looks devastatingly handsome, but no one is more handsome than you.

How are you feeling?

Good. I’m ready. Thank you again for, you know, officiating.

Yeah, of course. You know, jason would be really happy for you.

[Sighs] Yeah. Yeah, I’ve been thinking about him a lot today.

So have I. And about you and willow, of course. You know what’s funny? She looks so soft and sweet on the outside, and of course she is, but I don’t think people realize how strong she is and how she’s been through. I mean, just like you. You’re kind and easygoing. The peacemaker-

mostly, that is. But I don’t think people realize that you have a core of pure steel. And I am so glad that you and willow were able to recognize that in each other. And I am honored to be leading you through your vows tonight.

Yeah, thanks. I love you.

Back at you.

[Doors opening]

Excuse me. Could everyone please take their seats? We are about to begin.

Ah, showtime.

Yep.

So are you ready to start the rest of your life?

So ready.


You’re wrong.

Am I?

Yeah, you’re wrong. Way wrong. Because I’m not doing it for revenge. That’s more carly’s mo.

Mm-hmm. So you don’t want to wipe that sanctimonious smile off her face?

Absolutely.

After everything she did to you? Engineering it so that willow would go to her for love and support, even after you found willow a bone marrow donor.

Exactly what I’m saying.

Yeah. I know that’s what you’ve been saying, but you’re trying to pretend it’s not the reason that you turned carly over to the sec, and I need you to see that it is.

Because you think what I’m doing is wrong?

I’m not gonna judge you. You want revenge? Go for it. Get your revenge. I’m just saying it better be worth it to you, because if this comes out, it is the end of you and sonny.

[“Canon in d” playing]

[“Bridal chorus” playing]

You’re breathtaking.

And so are you.

Okay.


thank you, friends and family, for joining us to celebrate the union of michael and willow. When they asked me to officiate the wedding, I was, um… I don’t know, I was kind of surprised, a, because I’ve never done this before, and b, that there’s probably a reason for that.

[Laughter] But when I sat down for a second and thought about it, it actually-

it made a lot of sense. I’ve known michael since he was just a kid. And we have been through a lot of life together. And watching him grow into the man he is today has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. And, willow, we’ve had some shared experiences, which I will not get into tonight, but it has given me an insight into the kind of person she is. Strong. Resilient. Beautiful. And so, so brave. All of the traits that she and michael have in common will only serve them as they embark on their life together. I love you both so very much.

I love you too.

Joss, you’re up.

Some shakespeare. “Let me not to the marriage of true minds “admit impediments. “Love is not love “which alters when it alterations finds. “Or bends with the remover to remove. “O, no, it is an ever-fixed mark “that looks on tempests and is never shaken. “It is the star to every wand’ring bark “whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken. “Love’s not time’s fool, “though rosy lips and cheeks “within his bending sickle’s compass come. “Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks “but bears it out even to the edge of doom. “If this be error and upon me prov’d, “I never writ, nor no man ever lov’D.”

That was beautiful. Now ned will be performing a song that the bride and groom have chosen.

[Gentle strumming]

Sonny’s never gonna find out, but even if he did, he’d understand.

No, he wouldn’T.

Yes, he will. Because no one more than sonny has seen how carly has treated me. The cruelty. The utter disrespect. You know, sonny and I, what we have, it’s the real deal. If it wasn’t, sonny wouldn’t have sacrificed everything for me.

But that’s just it, nina. Sonny sacrificed everything. And he kept choosing you over them time and time again, and at great cost. Now I have learned the hard way that sonny and carly, they have their own history, and part of that history is a blind and stubborn and even toxic loyalty. I’m not even talking about romance. The two of them could be at each other’s throats, but if a threat comes for one of them, the other one will step in and defend them. And so, if the sec goes after carly and sonny finds out that you were behind it, I don’t see him backing you.

Michael and willow have made things easy on me today and have requested a traditional ceremony, so here we go. Michael, do you take-

actually, um, sam, I know we asked for this, but… now that I’m standing here and looking at you, I just-

I have to tell you how thankful that I am. For your friendship. For your–your courage. Your love. Your compassion. Your… support. But most importantly, how you’ve been such an amazing mother to wiley. And now amelia. And the fact that I get to call you my wife is…

wait, what? We’re getting married?

I also forgot to thank her for her sense of humor. Of course. Look, willow, I couldn’t love you more if I tried. But I am going to try every single day for the rest of our lives.

Wow. I can’t let you have your say and not get mine. It’s ironic that you would be up here thanking me when I was a person who was alone for most of my life. And then came you. At first, you were my friend, and such a good one. Supportive. A great advice giver.

[Chuckles] You never judged. As everyone here knows, the first time we did this, it was a legal maneuver. But then, this crazy thing happened. As each day passed, I realized how happy I was to be married to you. And it quickly became something I wanted to last. It’s like my whole frame of reference shifted. What I’d refused to see before was suddenly standing right in front of me. All of that time, I’d been falling in love with you. And since then, that love has only grown. I’m fulfilled in ways I never thought possible because of you. And our kids. And this amazing family of yours.

Hey, ours. Ours.

Ours. I am so incredibly lucky.

I think you both are.

Yeah.

[Tender music]


Are we good to move on to the vows now?

Yeah. Yeah, we’re ready.

Okay. Do you, michael, take willow to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health…

I’m really putting you through the paces on that one.

Till death does you part? Will you love and honor her for all of the days of your life?

Oh, I will, and I do to all of it.

Okay. And do you, willow, take michael to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death does you part? Will you love and honor him for all of the days of your life?

I will.

Wiley?

Hey. Thanks, buddy.

Way to go, bud. You were perfect. Thank you.

It’s possible that no one will ever find out.

It’s possible.

But you don’t think it’s likely.

I think it’s true what they say, that secrets have a way of coming out, no matter how hard we try to bury them.

It’s not like I made up the insider trading. It happened. Anyone could have reported it.

No, but it wasn’t anyone, nina. It was you. You turned in the mother of sonny’s children to the authorities.

I-I turned in amelia and wiley’s grandmother in to the authorities. What will happen if willow finds out? She’s depended on carly so much through all of this. She’ll never forgive me, ava.

Willow, I give you this ring as a sign of our love for and commitment to each other. And I promise to support you, to care for you, and stand alongside you for all of our days.

Michael. I give you this ring as a sign of our love for and commitment to each other. I promise to support you, care for you, and stand alongside you for all of our days.

Well, I don’t think there’s anything left to say except, by the power vested in me and the state of new york, I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Well, I’ll take it from here.

Ooh.

[Laughter]

[Cheers and applause]

[“Wedding march” playing]


[Cheers and applause]

We did it.

We did it.

We did it!

Yes, we did, buddy. Here. Here.

I have never seen a more professional ringbearer. Have you?

No, I have not. It’s probably your calling.

What’s a calling?

It’s a purpose.

So mommy’s yours?

Yeah, she is.

[Doorbell rings]

That’s weird. Who’d be showing up now?

Oh, please. I’ll get it.

Oh, boy. Don’t tell me you’re bored already.

Who, me?

Maybe nothing will come of it. I mean, it was an anonymous tip to a bunch of bureaucrats.

Bureaucrats who live for this kind of stuff.

Could be months or years before they open an investigation, assuming they get that far.

I don’t know. I don’t know much about this stuff. But I doubt the government takes kindly to citizens messing with the markets. If I had to guess, I’d say it won’t be long before the sec is knocking on carly’s door.

Okay, everybody to the solarium for the reception.

[Indistinct chatter]

Who’s this?

I tried to put them off, but they insisted. They are from the sec.

Look, if this is about elq, it’s gonna have to wait, okay?

It’s my son’s wedding.

It does concern elq, but we’re not looking for you.

Well, can you tell us who you are looking for?

Drew cain and carly spencer.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

All bugging me fully paid my rent.

Hmm. It’s Brady who’s almost here. So he is gotta talk to me about something. Okay. I’ll just let you two co-conspirators talk then. Wait, you said you just wondered who doctored those biscuits instead of Chanel? We would do something like that. Oh God. I mean, I have a lot of enemies in this town. I should probably hire a private investigator or throw a monkey wrench into the police investigation.

Yeah. Well, how are you gonna do that? If I knew that I would already be doing it. Hmm.

Brady. Oh hey, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were busy. No, it’s fine. I was actually, I’m just leaving. Don’t you worry. I’ll figure everything out. I always do. Okay.

What’s up? Oh, two’s still a thing, huh? Yes. We’re still a thing. Why? Mm. Ah, no offense. Just, um, Doesn’t everybody hate her?

Mm-hmm. Best chocolate brownie on the planet. Try a free sample. You’ll think you, you’re in heaven. It’s no use mama. People are so scared of what we bake. I couldn’t even pay someone to try one. Ooh, Chanel Dupree. Don’t you even think of giving up? Yeah. We’ll tell that to Sloane Peterson. She lost two court cases and that hasn’t slown her down, and so she can’t get me put in jail.

Then she’s trying to run my business to the ground. I told you we won’t let that happen. Now let’s just go home and come up with a plan because long you stay here, you just keep getting upset. I can’t leave. I have to stay here, close up and just get everything ready for tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow, oh, well, well, well, let me help you.

No, no, it’s, it’s fine. I, I, I wanna do it myself. I, I need to just clear my head and I, and I need some alone time and that’s why I sent Talia home. Oh, well, okay. Okay. You’re the boss. Okay. Oh, alright. I’ll see you later then. Okay, good. See you then. Mm-hmm. And thank you mama. We’re trying to help. Oh, you know, you know I’m there for you, baby girl, always.

What do you mean? Talia told me wasn’t true. You saying she lied to me? No, I’m not saying she lied. That would be assuming too much. It, it’s just, it’s just what? There’s this one thing, something she said that doesn’t line up with what really happened and it’s obviously really bothering you. You need to tell me what it is, Jada.

Hey,

God, tell ya, you won’t believe how much I missed you. I missed you too, and I’m sorry I’m late. The police want to talk to Megan. What for?

It’s not suspicious of anything, are they? No, no, no, no. Chanel was there too. They just wanted the firm of the timeline for when the biscuits got doctored. That’s all.

Hey, don’t worry. Okay. They have no idea that you are the one that put me up to it.

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

Okay, so going after Chanel and her bakery was my idea. For saying that I put you up to it. That’s kind of harsh. Don’t you think? I mean, are we not in this together? Yeah. No, we are definitely, I agree to do this. It’s, it’s just, it’s a little hard seeing I’m the only one out there and you just have to lay low.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, it is hard on this end too. My mother was the one that Chanel pushed off that roof. I know that. And you think that I like sending you out to do my work for me? No, I, I don’t think that at all. Look, I’m sorry. Okay. I, I should have never said that. You put me up to it. I wanted to help you and I still do, and I’m so grateful.

I know how much I’ve asked of you, and I know how much you’ve done for me.

And there’s that worry. Look again. Where’s it now? I don’t know it. It’s just what? Just say it. Look, it’s not just about me, Colin. The police are looking really hard into Sloan. She’s their number one suspect and she has no idea that her own brother is behind what happened.

Yes, it’s true. A lot of people do hate Sloan, but I’m not one of them. In fact, she and I decided to take our relationship to the next level. Hey, congratulations to you. You’re giving me your blessing. Yeah, no judgments. All right. I’ve just heard the rumors that Sloan is the one who tempered with the biscuits.

That’s exactly what they are. Brady rumors, I mean, take that from somebody who was a victim. Really, really. I know. I, I assume you’re okay now. It’s all right. It’s okay. I’m fine. What the hell was that like? Hard to remember. I don’t like to talk about it, but look at first, the first thing I was thinking that yes, I thought it was Sloan who tampered with the dough.

All right. But I am her alibi is all the reason why. I know she had nothing to do with it. All right, good, good. You know what, I’m just looking out for you, right? And I know you too, Brady. I know you’re not here to talk to me about Sloan. No, I’m not here to talk about Sloan. I’m here to talk about Chloe and how to keep that bastard Xander away from her.

All right. You can turn around now. Uh, I’m sorry, I, I should have called first. Oh no, actually is kind of unexpected, but I do have a small window of time. My zoom call with Jeff Bezos got pushed back. Oh, wow. Well, when you do speak to Jeff, give him my love. Of course. Um, so, uh, I, I wanted to give you, This, uh, though I’m not really sure where to put it.

Oh. Um, how about here? Ah, why didn’t I think of that? What’s one? Well, I had a hard time finding a card that said I’m, I’m sorry. I almost killed you without Dart. Thank you very much. But I am healing up nicely. I’m happy to report. That’s good. So how often are you changing that bandage? You’re supposed to change it.

Only if you don’t want it to get infected. Uh, okay. Not sit down. I’ll, I’ll do it. Really? Yeah. Well, it’s the least I can do after you save me from almost eating that drugged up skit. All right. Sorry if this hurts. Oh my goodness. Look at that thing. Oh, you’re such a man. Oh, I never had any complaints on that score before.

And promise me that you will change this regularly. Okay? Like every day, price, every day. I won’t able to do it as well as you. You’re regular Florence Nighting, aren’t you? Mm. Thanks. And you are not. A regular Mr. Clean. Ah, yeah. Sorry about that. I mean, if it’s the clothes on the floor you find offensive, you should know that they’re, they’re not all dirty.

Some of them I just haven’t folded yet. Ah, to be honest, Chloe, I’m starting to feel that this place is a bit of, uh, uh, pet not indicative of my current financial status. You know, I was busted when I moved in here. I’ve be saving up some money and I think I’m ready to finally start looking for a new place.

Mm. You and me both. You need someplace new. Yeah. Like yesterday,

every time I see Chloe Xander’s there just hovering, hanging around, playing darts with her, whatever, he’s obviously gunning for her, and the thing is, Chloe’s been hurt recently with some of the things that I’ve said. Happened to walk that tight rope with Rachel. She, she, she may be open to him. Does anything happen yet?

Nothing that I know of. Okay. Then take my advice. Don’t get all worked up for no good reason. All they could be doing is hanging out and throwing guards. Just like you said, you know Chloe, she’s smart and she’s gonna see right through Xander’s Act. See, that’s it. Nicole is a smart cookie as well, and she didn’t exactly see through Zander, Zach either, did she?

I guess you have a good point. Look, it’s nice of you worrying about my sister, but we knew going into this that the cops would suspect her. And I damn sure didn’t want them worrying about you, especially since you’ve put so much on the line.

Your lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of her hat. But you are not off the hook. You listened to me, Sloan Peterson. You have lost and you will keep on losing and losing. So how about you’ll find something better to do with your time than trying to hurt me and my family trying to drag us to court to satisfy your sick need for revenge.

When my daughter and I, we have done nothing wrong. Do you hear me?

There is definitely no evidence tying someone to that. No Paulina’s office being trashed, right? Because thanks to you getting those keys, there was no forced entry and they can’t know anything else we did on Sloan either because she’s innocent. More importantly, she’s a damn good lawyer. She’s never gonna let them railroad her.

Yeah, but Colin, don’t you think we should probably tell her what we’ve been doing? No. No. That would make her an accessory yet. Plus she would never go for something like this. After she wasn’t able to nail Chanel and her mother in court, she had to pump the brakes. She would never risk a law license doing something illegal, which is when I had to step in.

Change the game. We need help. Of course,

Talia told you that she went straight home after dinner at Chanel’s Place the night before all this went down. Right? I remember, but I was there Rafe, she didn’t, she didn’t come home until hours later. You sure? She would be pretty hard to miss? I mean, we can’t even turn around that place without bumping into each other.

No. I mean, how do you know that it was the same night? Because I vividly remember it. It was when it was when you and I admitted that we have feelings for each other.

Hi.

Hey, Chanel, Alex. Hi. Hi. Did I read right? You’re engaged to Johnny Damara? Let me guess, lady Whistleblower. I was an spectator today. Is that not true? What is true is that Johnny and I both had my biscuits, which turned out to be tainted with hallucinogens and I told Leo owe that and not to make anything of it, but we all know to him the truth is just an irrelevant detail.

Right. So the creep does what he usually does and wrote whatever he thinks is gonna sell papers. Yeah. To the moron to actually read that crap. Oh, sorry, my, that didn’t come out the way I meant it. Nah, I think it did. Look, I know you’re still pissed off at me about everything that happened with Allie. Okay.

Another topic I don’t wanna talk about. Regardless, this whole thing, the drugging of the biscuits, it’s ridiculous and I truly feel for you, and I can only imagine what it’s doing to your business. No, it’s killing it. Which is exactly why your little girlfriend Sloan did it. Well, it’s not my girlfriend’s.

I mean, yeah, we hooked up, but that was over a long time ago. Well, maybe it shouldn’t be. What do you mean? Well, if you’re really sorry about what happened with Allie, make it up to me. Get SW back in your bed.

You want me to get Sloan back in my bed, boy, because you can sweet talk her like crazy and then screw a confession out of her.

Are you kidding me? Look, look, the, the cops keep saying that they don’t have any proof to prove that Sloane is the one that’s doing everything to me and my mom, even though it’s beyond obvious that it’s her and that doesn’t tell you anything. What it tells me is that someone outside of the PD needs to talk to her and that someone is you.

Look, all you gotta do is call her up, tell her how much you miss her, and then show her a good time. Ah, and then you can just steer, you know the pillow. Talk to biscuit though. And psychedelics. Hey. Yeah, look, Chanal, I mean this in the nicest way possible, but are you sure you’re not under the influence of some drug biscuits and psychedelics?

I feel for you. I really do. But you gotta forget about it because I’m not doing it. Oh, come on, Alex. Why not? It’s not like this is outta character for you. Oh, okay. Well, Aside from my general misgivings about this, I’m sort of hooking up with somebody else now. So when has that ever stopped? You just make it a threesome.

Y’all know you have experience with that. Ha on please, Alex. I would forgive you for everything that happened in the past. If you will, please just do whatever it takes to get me what I need to, to just to stop this nightmare with Sloan.

Connie. Everything’s gonna be okay. Trust me, you hold it right there. Shady missile toe. Uh, it’s lady whistleblower and I will not hold it right here or anywhere for the likes of you. You are such a bottom feeding hack, you know that. Oh, come on counselor. You can’t still be upset about that one little article I wrote about you ages ago.

Oh, you mean the one where you called me a psycho and, uh, accused me of going after Paulina Price? No. Shrugged it right off. Of course, I’m still mad at you. Well, first off, I’m not a hack. And second, the bottom happens to be where the good stuff is. Oh, I’m well aware. That’s why I stopped you just now, huh?

Mm. I figured you’d want some dirt for your next column. What kind of dirt? The police commissioner and his favorite new detective. Trust me, it practically writes itself. You forgot it was the same night. Hmm. Jose, we opened up to each other about our feelings. Yeah, I, I did. Right. Well, anyway, um, it was really awkward here, so I went straight home.

You know, the next day you were drugged from those biscuits. Yeah. Sorry, again about my behavior. It’s, it’s fine. Um, anyway, um, The point is I remember exactly what time it was, and I know for a fact that my sister did not come straight home from Paulina prices that night. Okay. Well, obviously you’re convinced that Talia isn’t telling us the truth, so what do you wanna do about it?

I don’t know, like getting involved in everything. It’s kind of the last thing I expected moving to New York. Right. But when we met, there was an immediate connection. At least for me anyway, um, I think putting my medical career on hold kind of proves that I felt it too. I’m gonna make this up to you, Talia.

I swear. Don’t worry, no one’s suspicious.

Who is it? It’s my sister.

I don’t know why she would be calling. I literally just left her. Let her go to voicemail. Maybe she’ll leave a message. No, I always answer her phone calls.

Hello? There you are. I was wondering why you weren’t picking up. Oh, sorry, my phone was buried in my bag. What’s up? Remember when we said we might need to clear some things up? After your interview, you wanna clear some things up? It just a small point. Something you said to the commissioner. Something I told the commissioner wasn’t clear.

It’s about when you got home the night before, uh, the issue with the biscuits and after you had dinner at Chanel’s. You said you went straight home, but I was home after dinnertime. And you weren’t? Yeah, right. Um, I had a headache and um, I went to the drugstore and I got aspirin, but that couldn’t have taken that long.

You’re right. Sorry, I must have forgotten. Um, I was late because I took a walk to the lake. I thought that the night air might help my headache. Well, I guess it did because when you got home, you didn’t mention it. All I wanted to do by then was just to go to sleep. Anything else? I think that’s about it.

Great. Talk to you later. Right on. I’m not so sure

something wrong. You could say that

the commissioner. Commissioner Hernandez, Mr. Straighten arrow, accent on the strait. Sadly, the very one, forget it. People read my column for dirt on people like you not Captain America. Oh, I mean, You don’t think that they would wanna read on Captain America as you put it? Hi on drugs and macing on his lead.

Detective, please tell me it is Detective Sean Brady. No, it was Jada Hunter. Ah, boring. Who cares about a little tongue between coworkers. That tongue flies right in face of Mayor Carver’s new fraternization policy. I thought that just meant they couldn’t be in the Elks or Shriners or something. What it means is that you could launch a campaign to get Mayor Carver to have to enforce his own policy against one of his greatest political allies and a close friend.

You could blow up the Mayor’s office and the Salem pd. I’d be like, Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford put together. You’d be a real force in Salem. One to be reckoned with, feared, and you’d get exactly what you wanted. The two cops who were on your ass would be out on theirs perhaps. But most importantly, I just think everybody should know the truth, don’t you?

The thing is, when Nicole succumbeded to Xander’s Charmer, whatever you want to call it, she was settled with an arrogant. Self-absorbed neglectful husband. That would be, that would be me.

I don’t know. I think my situation with Chloe and me is a lot more like yours in Napoles than you think. More than I’d like to think. Meaning you call yourself a neglectful husband. I haven’t exactly been the best boyfriend either. Alright. Kristen and Rachel have been treating. Chloe liked dirt while I’ve just pretty much been sitting back and saying, Hey, Chloe, you’re gonna have to deal with it.

You know, why don’t just play this my way? Hey, let me tell you something. I wish somebody would’ve told me, forget Sandra, he’s not the problem. He’s a. Here’s a symptom. Yeah, I’m the problem.

Oh God. Dunno why you’re slow. You eager to move. I mean, Salem end’s great. Yeah, it’s a little too great, especially when the bill arrives and I’m outta work and I’m just, I’m running through my savings. But it’s more than that. I, so, Well, it’s an in, it’s a place you stay when you’re on your way somewhere else.

But I’m not going anywhere and I’m not going anywhere with Brady, certainly not with Rachel. I don’t have a job. I don’t have a life, and I just, I want something someplace. It’s yours. Yeah. But not that I can afford it, and to be honest, I’m, I’m just worried that I’m gonna end up in a place like this. So you need a place that’s a step down from where you live, and I need to step up and why don’t you take that step together.

You mean we can find a place together? Oh, Xander, that sounds horrifying. You know, I actually thought you’d sparked the idea. Okay. Well, you’ve just recently been nice to me and. Since I did dart you, I’m not gonna dwell on the fact that this place is a pigsty, but I’m gonna point out the obvious, which is you own a newspaper and I am basically broke.

So you wouldn’t wanna live in a place where I can afford half the rent. We wouldn’t, we wouldn’t split rent. We, I know you don’t have a job, so just make wherever we find look like I don’t live there, and we’ll call that REM for the time being. Oh. Sounds like you need a housekeeper, not a roommate, Chloe.

Um, look, one of the most irritating things about becoming your friend and getting to really like you, is I want to atone for what I did to you and a bunch of other people. So in that sense, you’d actually be doing me a favor if you allowed me to give a ma helping hand when she’s, as you say, Basically broke.

That’s Hannah. That’s it’s very sweet. I swear it’d be totally, completely platonic and, and this is very hard for me to say, but I will be neater, not just neater. How about cleaner? So we are now officially in negotiation.

You’re in sex. Therapy with allie’s. Grandma, it’s not sex therapy, it’s therapy. It’s not funny. All right. It’s a little bit funny. All right. Okay. And I know you got a million things you can throw on my face right now, and I’m sure it looks utterly ridiculous. Me telling you, no, you can’t ask me to use sex for nefarious purpose.

Well, we both know it wouldn’t be the first time. No, it would not here. You’re serious about this, aren’t you? Yeah, I am. After I started speaking to Dr. Evans, she’s starting to make me realize that, uh, I’m pretty screwed up and Chanel, as much as I would love to help you throw Sloan back in her cage, please do not ask me to sleep with her.

Or I’m gonna end up right back where I started.

Honey, you look so glm. Come on Talia. We were a great team. We totally dodged a bullet. No we didn’t. What do you mean? We were completely in sync? I was all like, and you said, oh, I just had to take a walk around the lake. What you said you were reading my mind. No, it was more like Jada was reading mine. My sister knows me, like the back of a book, Colin.

I don’t just forget things. I don’t get through med school by forgetting. What are you saying? I’m saying that my alibi that night can’t be, I just forgot that won’t fly. Especially since I came up with it after the fact. Then why didn’t you account for it in the first place?

I am sorry. Okay. I guess I just, just wasn’t thinking. Yeah. Yeah, you weren’t thinking, look, it’s just that they separated me and Chanel and I didn’t know what they were saying to her, what she said. And then I was dealing with the commissioner. Babe. Let’s just, my, my charm just didn’t work on him. Okay. No, no.

I, I get it. It’s just, this is really important to me cuz that bitch killed my mother. You, you do get that right? Uh, I thought so before I got here. But now, but now what? I don’t know Colin. I’m just confused. Okay. Cuz I actually know Paulina and Chanel now and hey, they seem like really nice people. They seem nice.

Talia, do you not know an act when you see one? I don’t think it was just an act. Okay. I, Chanel told me about everything that happened in London unless she told you. If she pushed my mother off a roof, then she did not tell you everything unless she told you that her rich mommy flew to London and paid for everything to be covered up.

Then she did not tell you everything.

I’m sorry. I I, I just, I get so worked up. This is obviously so triggering for me. Yeah, this is extremely. Important. Look, I know that. Okay. I do. I promise. I just need to ask you one thing. Yeah. Are you still on my side?

Jada was bothering him. This is vague, but it didn’t feel like I was talking to my sister. Alright, what can you figure out why Talia’s always a stream of consciousness all over the map, but there is these hesitations when she was answering my questions. Maybe she was just trying to remember. No, no.

Talia’s memory is scary. She remembers what she did for her 12th birthday party, but, but now she forgets that she had a headache and then she forgot that she walked around the lake. Wait, she said that? Yeah. Yeah. And she’s also the one who forgot to set the security systems. All this from someone who never forgets a thing.

All right, Jada, if this is too much, I can put you on another case. The department cannot ask, you cannot ask any officer to investigate their own. No, no. Thanks for the golfer, but it’s too late to back off now.

You need to have a little bit more faith in Chloe Xander. Yeah, he may be making a play for her, but she more than most knows exactly what he is capable of. You’re right. No, you’re right. After what that jerk put her through, I can’t imagine she would involve herself with him and she knows what he, what he did to Nicole and how much Nicole regretted getting involved with him.

Exactly. And Chloe’s not gonna let. Xander entered her life in any meaningful way. Yeah. No, you’re right. Whatever they, they hang out. They play darts. It’s not like they’re moving in together. Right.

Well, this place looks pretty promising, doesn’t it? Nice fuse. Plenty of immunities. I mean, it couldn’t do any harm to go look at it, right? I guess not. Let’s do those future room, lets find a place and move in together.

No more jokes about it, I promise. And for what it’s worth, I think it’s, you know, uh, brave they are going to therapy. I agree. Although I’m not really sure I wanna know. Who I really am

enough about me. You’re going through hell right now. Is there, like, how about I float you along? Something to just keep the business going until everything gets, you know, blown over. That is, that is very, very sweet of you. But I, I can get a loan from my mom and besides all the money in the world, can’t buy me back my customers.

But you know, as, as much as all this sucks on the bright side. You offer me a loan, which is like, so generous. And then my new employee, I, I told her that I couldn’t afford to pay her. And you know what she said? Hmm? She said that she would work for free. Wow. That’s amazing. She’s amazing. And you know, she’s, she’s only worked here for a short time, but it’s just like, like this whole thing has hit her just as hard as it’s hit me.

You can’t let Chanel and her mom get into your head. Okay. And babe, we have nothing to feel guilty about with a good gas here. Yeah, but maybe we should just back off a bit, you know? Give things time to just go away. No, we can’t do that. Have to keep, apply pressure. You just have to be really careful of what you say to your sister.

Yeah, yeah, of course. Bye. I should get going.

I need you. I can’t do any of this without you now. I love you, right?

I love you too. Here’s my girl.

Oh, hey, uh, you work at sleeps, right? I met you the other day, Talia. Yeah, that’s, that’s me. Hmm. Sweetness. Are you the one that sold her a tainted biscuit? I did, and I’m sorry. I’m really, I’m really sorry. Was that really necessary? I didn’t even eat the biscuit. That poor girl just works there. It’s not like it’s her fault.

I just keep thinking. My sister gets out of medical school, becomes a baker’s assistant in Salem. And as a doctor, she would have access to the drugs that were put in that dough. Okay, but why? Hm. She didn’t even know Chanel until she got here. They seemed to get along and well, she sure doesn’t seem like a disgruntled employee.

Yeah, she always told me that she loved that job. Okay, so what’s her motive? Hmm? Why would she decide to drug half the town? You know, you’re right. You’re right. It, it makes no sense. It has to be someone else, someone with a real motive. Which brings us back to Sloan Peterson. So the cops are all over you because of the sweet bit’s druggie incident.

Yeah. Especially because of the way you went after Paulina Price. Hmm. Look, I couldn’t break into Paulina’s office and I didn’t drug those bloody biscuits. And yet what better way to get the commissioner and his lead detective off your ass by getting them thrown off the force. Look, I saw those two with my own two eyes.

All you have to do is keep my name out of it and quote, anonymous source. You really think a column by me is gonna be enough to throw the investigation off track? Let’s find out, shall we?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: Is this for real? Mom, are you real?

Phyllis: I’m real. I’m so sorry.

[ Summer crying ]

Summer: I don’t under– I don’t understand. Wha– what’ happening? What’s happening?

Audra: I’ll confirm the venue for the meeting next month with the vendors. Anything else I should be aware of?

Nate: I’ll be heading to L.A. For a few days. I need you to run point for me.

Audra: Vacation?

Nate: Not this time. There are some streaming platforms out west newman’s looking to acquire. If all goes well, they’ll be folded into newman media. I believe in-person meetings are key to a successful negotiation.

Audra: Sounds brilliant.

Nate: New challenge. I’m looking forward to it.

Audra: Well, I’m pleased you trust me enough to leave me in charge.

Nate: Well, that goes without saying.

Audra: Given the choice, though, um, I’d rather accompany you. You know, this could be a learning opportunity for me.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: I appreciate your enthusiasm, audra, but I need you here, holding down the fort.

Audra: Look, I’m sure victoria would be okay with it. This trip could be a valuable experience.

Nate: I think it’s great you want to master every aspect of the job. Really, I do. But the thing is, I’ll be doing that myself. Acting as second under victoria. She’ll be traveling with me.

Nick: Just wait ’til you hear dad’s latest move.

Victoria: If it’s about him finalizing his deal with tucker so adam can have a new toy to break, I already know.

Nick: Close. The two are related.

Victoria: Okay, I give up. What has dad done now?

Nick: He wants me to take an immediate leave of absence as coo.

Victoria: Excuse me?

[ Victoria scoffing ] Why would he even suggest something like that? I need you here.

[ Nick sighing ]

Nick: He wants me to run mccall unlimited with adam or whatever it is they plan on calling it. But he seems to think the company needs me to get it back on its feet.

Victoria: This is what he meant when he warned me that I would regret not buying mccall.

[ Sighing ] He wants to steal my entire team right out from underneath me.

Michael: Hey. Thanks for meeting me here so quickly. Sit, sit, sit.

Jack: No thanks needed. I know you just came from seeing diane. Hopefully, you have some good news for me.

Michael: Well, I have news. I’m afraid it’s not good.

Jack: Okay, I’m listening.

Michael: I have a contact in the coroner’s office in the jurisdiction near pheasant lake.

Jack: Where they found stark’s body.

Michael: Um, off the record, she has agreed to share his presumed manner of death.

Jack: So suicide? Accidental drowning? Have they done a toxicology screening?

Michael: Jack, they’re doing an autopsy. Until it’s finished, none of these findings are conclusive. But according to my source, it appears to be a homicide.

Phyllis: Hey, baby. I know it’s a shock. I know it’s a shock.

Summer: I got– I got this call from somebody offering to explain what happened to my mom. But I didn’t know that it was you. It didn’t sound like you.

Phyllis: I was in a coffee shop, and I– I gave the waitress some money. She’s the one who called you. That was the only way I could know that you would get here alone.

Summer: Oh, my god. Daniel, he was just–

Phyllis: No, no, no. We’re not calling da– shh, shh. We’re not calling daniel. You’re the only one who can know I’m alive.

Summer: Not even daniel?

Phyllis: No, not even daniel. I can’t trust him.

Summer: What? What do you mean?

Phyllis: It’s not that he’s not trustworthy. Listen, baby, he’s going through so much right now and he might want to do the right thing, you know what I mean? And tell people about my secret.

Summer: No. Daniel is going through hell right now, mom.

Phyllis: Summer, listen to me. You’re the only one who can know that I’m alive. I mean it. You’re the only one I can trust. You’re the only one who can know what happened. And what I need to do because of it from this moment forward.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: I don’t understand. You can come home now. What else needs to happen?

Phyllis: Oh, summer, there’s so much I need to explain to you.

Summer: No, mom, you need to listen to me. Whatever this is, this– this stunt that you pulled. You’ve hurt so many people. And daniel and I have been devastated, but we need you. So whatever you did, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter to me. And it’s not going to matter to anyone who loves you.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Summer, um–

Summer: No! The only thing that matters, mom, is that you’re alive. You’re alive! And you’re– and you’re going to come home with me.

[ Phyllis sniffling ]

Audra: I had no idea. You know, I see you as such a pro, I forget you’re on a learning curve, too. Maybe I can tag along on the next trip.

Nate: Thanks for understanding.

Audra: I’ll hold the ship afloat while you’re gone.

Nate: I appreciate that, audra.

Audra: Oh, you know, I wonder if elena might be able to join you, you know, since she couldn’t make it last time. I bet she will love to go.

Nick: I hadn’t thought about inviting elena. I wouldn’t want to seem unprofessional by asking if my girlfriend could tag along.

Audra: Oh, um, I’m sorry. I might have misunderstood. I just thought that you invited her last time you were traveling on business.

Nick: I did. Good thing she couldn’t make it because it was nonstop work. She would have been bored stiff.

Jack: Homicide?

Michael: Apparently.

Jack: How is that– how can they know for sure?

Michael: No longer being the D.A., I can only get so much information. My source was taking a risk by telling me as much as she did.

Jack: Wow. There’s a lot to wrap my head around.

Michael: Yeah, join the club.

Jack: If they think it’s murder, there’s going to be a full out investigation, right?

Michael: By the local sheriff’s department? Yes. Since the lake itself is in an unincorporated area.

Jack do the authorities have any leads? Can they tie phyllis’ murder to stark’s death in any way?

Michael: You know as much as I do, and I don’t have a whole lot to go on, jack. But what I do know, what I do know, in terms of diane’s defense, this is a double edged sword.

Jack: That makes no sense. I would think stark’s death would indicate there was much more at play. Especially if he’s murdered.

Michael: All right, listen–

Jack: Diane is out of commission. I mean, unless somebody thinks she’s a mob boss who can call a hit inside prison and have it carried out while she’s in there. No. Basic– basic intelligence would tell you she’s not involved in that. She didn’t kill stark, she didn’t kill phyllis. And this latest development–

Michael: Jack! Jack, until I learned more about stark’s murder, I don’t know what any of this means.

Jack: At least we know this guy can’t testify against her in court.

Michael: True. However, he also can’t exonerate her. We used to struggle with greasy messes.

Nick: Dad actually warned you about mccall and what would happen if you didn’t acquire it?

Victoria: It wasn’t so much a warning as an I told you so. Just tell me, please, that you turned down his offer.

Nick: Vic, come on. There’s no way I’m bailing on you to go and babysit adam. I’m pretty sure mom’s not going anywhere either.

Victoria: Can you imagine our mother and adam running a company together? That’ll be the day. So what else did dad have to share? Any other suggestions that I should know about?

Nick: Uh, didn’t learn much, except that mccall seems to be in shambles, and… he thinks adam’s going to need the full support of the family to write the ship.

Victoria: He’s gonna need a lot more than that.

Nick: I actually think this was just some play to get me and adam to back away from sally.

Victoria: Yes, that seems about right.

Nick: Once I realized what he was up to, I rejected his offer and walked out.

Victoria: You know, leave it to our father to buy an entire conglomerate so he can try to manipulate all the people around him.

Nick: He doesn’t seem to know when he needs to let people manage their own lives. And with a baby on the way, it’s just going to get worse. He can’t see it. I mean, the more he pushes sally away, the more he risks being shut out of his granddaughter’s life.

Phyllis: Listen to me. Okayyou need to listen to me. I wish I could come home… but unfortunately, it can’t happen.

Summer: Why? None of this makes any sense.

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Phyllis: I made some mistakes. [ Sighing ] I did some stupid things. I trusted the wrong man.

Summer: Stark?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Summer: Tell me what happened.

Phyllis: He manipulated me, you know? Um… he played on my deepest, darkest fears, you know? And he convinced me to marry him and then we had this plan to take diane down and put her in prison for the rest of her life.

Summer: Mom… what have you done?

Phyllis: I don’t know. I’m just being honest with you. I’m just being honest, summer.

Summer: How did you think that it was gonna–

Phyllis: I wasn’t thinking. I was out of my mind. I wasn’t thinking. Then, when I finally came to my senses… and I told him I didn’t want to go forward with the plan anymore, he threatened me. He was gonna kill me.

Jack: The more I think about it, the more I believe that stark’s death proves diane didn’t kill phyllis.

Michael: I don’t understand your logic, jack. Yeah, I agree that diane being in jail rules her out as a suspect in stark’s murder, but how? How does that absolve her of phyllis’s death?

Jack: To me, it’s obvious. Phyllis is poisoned. Days later, stark is murdered. That’s just a coincidence? Come on, one person could have killed both of them.

Michael: There’s no evidence to suggest that.

Jack: Yet. And maybe there never will be any. But think about it. Stark is a known criminal, out on parole, involved in fraud and money laundering and god knows what else on an international scale. He’s been hanging out with some very dangerous people who are experts at hiding evidence. Maybe he crossed one of them. His past caught up with him and phyllis. I’m steve, I lost 138 pounds in nine months on golo

Michael: I get why stark would be the target of a killer, but why phyllis?

Jack: I don’t know. Diane was never certain where stark got the funding to carry out his schemes. Whoever he was dealing with back then maybe felt shorted when he went to prison and they wanted their money back. And maybe that was the money that he was pressuring diane for.

Michael: If that were the case, why wouldn’t stark have taken the money you offered him initially?

Jack: No, that was a direct response to diane. A not-so-veiled threat that this is about more than just money.

Michael: Even if your theory were correct, despite the lack of evidence, it only accounts for a hit on stark. Again, why phyllis?

Jack: She was his new wife. Whoever these people are came to town knowing that his former partner in crime lived in genoa city. Maybe they thought that was phyllis.

Michael: It was diane.

Jack: Well, we know that. They thought they were looking for taylor jensen. Any woman in town could have been taylor jensen. Maybe phyllis’s murder is a case of mistaken identity. Maybe she’s just collateral damage.

Michael: Jack, I know you’re looking for an answer, but that is not it. There is a mountain of evidence that exists, and it points to a premeditated crime perpetrated by diane.

Jack: I will do anything I can to get justice for phyllis. I feel she deserves at least that from me. Diane didn’t do this. I have to defend her.

Michael: Okay, jack, the two of us are committed to the same two causes. Justice for phyllis and diane. But right now, we only know one thing. Diane is the only suspect in phyllis’s murder that is still alive to talk about it.

Nate: Hi.

Elena: Hey. Your message said you have some news. What’s up?

Nate: I have to go home and pack.

Elena: Okay. Why? I’m heading to L.A. For work.

Elena: For how long?

Nate: Just a few days. But when I get back, I would love to go somewhere with you. A short vacation, you know? One week, just the two of us. Where would you like to go?

Elena: Okay, wait, back up. So, you’re going away on business?

Nate: Wall to wall meetings out west with some streamers we’d like to acquire. But I realize what I really want to do right now is get away with you somewhere. You know? No work involved.

Elena: I see.

Nate: We’ve been kicking it around for quite a while now. Why not make it happen?

Elena: We can discuss it. But who is we?

Nate: What do you mean?

Elena: Well, you just said that there are some streamers on the west coast that we would like to acquire, so I’m wondering, are you going alone or are you going with someone else?

Victoria: You know, it makes no difference what you and sally think. Once that baby arrives, there’s no way in hell that you’re gonna be able to keep it away from dad. Not to mention, this is not your fight. Sally and adam are the parents, so really, it’s up to them.

Nick: Thank you for the reminder.

Victoria: It’s the truth, nick. Hey, um, I’m gonna be going to los angeles for a couple of days, and I need you to take the reins. I hope that’s not too much to ask.

Nick: Sure. Mom going with you?

Victoria: No, she’ll be here.

Nick: Well, she’s the co-ceo. Shouldn’t she be in charge?

Victoria: Look, we both know how much she loves seeing you in more of a leadership role. So the job is yours for a couple of days. Deal with it.

[ Nick chuckling ]

Nick: Okay. Um… you going alone?

Victoria: No. Did you have a chance to look over those p&l reports that I sent you?

Nick: Hold up. If mom’s not going out of town, who are you going with? Don’t tell me–

Victoria: I know what I’m doing, nick. Leave it alone.

Summer: Why didn’t you come to me before? Why didn’t you tell me that stark was making threats? Jack got all this extra security for us. He could have had you covered, too.

Phyllis: Jack wouldn’t have lifted a finger for me. And then, you and daniel… I thought you hated me. I thought everyone hated me.

[ Summer sighing ] And that prompted me to do something really… stupid and idiotic, you know?

Summer: Mom, daniel and I, we never hated you. Yes, we disagreed with you, but, mom, we love you. We’ve been wrecks since that night.

Phyllis: I know. I know. I’ve been watching you. I saw how much pain you were in. I’m so sorry. [ Sobbing ] That’s why I needed to meet with you. I wanted you to know that I am okay. I couldn’t go through with it. And listen, I understand. I really understand if you and your brother hate me and never want to forgive me.

Summer: No, no. Those days are over, mom. That’s not gonna happen. We are on your side, no matter what.

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Phyllis: Summer… when you find out what I did… I don’t think you’re gonna feel that way. I don’t think you’re gonna be on my side.

Summer: Mom… how guilty are you? Welcome to my digestive system.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Nick: You telling me to leave it alone makes me ten times more concerned.

Victoria: Okay, let me make this easy for you. As ceo of newman media, nate will be accompanying me to los angeles. The meetings that we will be attending pertain to the various streaming platforms that we would like to acquire. While I could certainly handle them on my own, it makes sense that the head of newman media would be present, don’t you think?

Nick: I’m sure you know all of the reasons why this is a terrible idea.

Victoria: And I’m sure that you’re aware that I’m really not interested in your opinion.

Nate: So yeah, I’ll be on my own in california.

Elena: Sounds dull. Wish I could join you.

Nate: Too last minute, huh?

Elena: Yeah, but when you get back, I should be able to take some time off.

Nate: Great. Any thoughts on where you’d like to go?

Elena: No, but I’ll look into it while you’re away. Maybe something scenic, maybe something intimate. You have any preferences?

Nate: Surprise me. As long as I’m with you, I’ll be happy.

Elena: That’s really sweet of you.

Nate: Okay, let me get home and figure out what I’m packing.

Elena: Mm, I hear cali’s having a heat wave, so it should be pretty hot.

Nate: I will keep that in mind. Bye-bye.

Phyllis: Well, what I did, it’s not important. The important thing is that jeremy stark manipulated the whole situation to make it look like…

[ Sighing ] It was all me. If anybody found out about what we did, I would be the one who would be implicated.

Summer: So… none of it was real? The poison, the… the ambulance crash, it wasn’t–

Phyllis: No, it wasn’t real.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: So, if you’re alive, and all of that was fake… that means that diane’s innocent.

Phyllis: Diane’s innocent? There’s nothing innocent about diane. Everything diane touches dies. Everything. She lies, manipulates. She drives wedges between people. Good god, you know that now. Jack and ashley, me and jack, you and me, you and kyle. You’re either on diane’s side or you are her victim.

Summer: I know, I know. God. I know diane has been causing problems for me and kyle way before this.

Phyllis: And the worst thing she did, she let her son believe that she was dead for years and years. He’s still dealing with the aftermath of that.

Summer: You just did that exact thing. Mom, you faked your own death. You– you– you abandoned your children.

Phyllis: My children are adults. They’re not little kids. And I couldn’t go through with it. I’m here now. But diane let kyle believe that she was dead for years. I would never do that to a little child, who doesn’t understand death or loss.

Summer: God, just… I can’t believe that your priorities are so out of whack that you would let us all suffer like that. You would let the people who love you believe that you’re dead. No. Mom. You’re coming home with me, okay? You’re going to make things right with everyone in genoa city.

Phyllis: I can’t do that. You don’t know the whole story.

Summer: If it’s because of stark, if it’s because you’re afraid of him, you don’T… you don’t have to worry about that anymore. He’s dead, so he can’t hurt you. And everything else we can straighten out. I promise you that.

Phyllis: They found him. Oh, no, I thought I’d have more time.

Summer: Found him?

Phyllis: Jeremy stark is the reason I can’t return to genoa city. Because… I’m the reason he’s dead.

Jack: Hey, I’m sorry for coming by after visiting hours, but I pulled a few strings because this can’t wait.

Diane: Why are you here again?

Jack: I have news.

Diane: I told you I don’t want to see you. Nothing’s changed.

[ Sighing ] Why are you doing this to me?

Jack: I am here because I love you. Because we have spent too many years apart and I don’t want to spend another day without you. And I think the news I have might actually get you out of here.

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Diane: I don’t want you here, jack. It’s not your choice. You don’t have a say. I’m the one in the cell. I’m the one who’s staring at these walls and I am telling you to stay away.

Jack: Once you hear what we’ve discovered–

Diane: You know what? I don’t care what it is. Michael can tell me.

[ Scoffing ] Don’t you get it? My life is over. There is nothing left to be done, and the sooner you accept that, the sooner we can all just move on.

Jack: Don’t do this. Don’t push away the people who love you. You can’t give up.

Diane: This is not about giving up. It’s about doing what’s best for my family and not subjecting you to the pain of my experiences. You all did just fine in the past without me being in your lives and you can do the same again. And that’s the way it has to be.

Summer: You didn’t– you didn’t kill jeremy stark.

Phyllis: I’m afraid I did.

Summer: Why? H– how?

Phyllis: You and daniel were in so much pain. I couldn’t go through with the plan. And then he told me if I pulled out of the plan and I sent him back to prison, well, he would never let that happen. And he said killing me was A… a victimless crime.

Summer: He said that to you?

Phyllis: Yeah, he did. He put his hands on me. And he said that I was his now.

Summer: Oh, my god, mom.

Phyllis: And the whole thing would cost me. And I tried to escape. And he stopped me. And he pushed me away. And he picked up scissors and he came toward me and he was gonna slice my throat. He was gonna kill me. Summer, I couldn’t let that happen. I couldn’t let it happen. I couldn’T. And he was strong, but I was desperate. I was desperate, and I took my nails and I put them into his face. And I took those scissors.

[ Gasping ] And it went black. I don’t even remember. I don’t even remember, but it went black. And I looked down and he was in a pool of blood. I killed him to protect myself.

[ Summer exhaling ] I didn’t want to die.

Summer: What– what– what did you do then?

Phyllis: I cleaned up the room and I wrapped him in the shower curtain. I made it look like one of his criminal buddies from prison did it.

Summer: Oh…

[ Phyllis gasping ] I sealed my fate. I can never go home. I have to come up with a plan to fix this.

Summer: No, mom, I’m not gonna let you think like that. It’s not too late. We can go to the police and we can make them understand what happened.

Phyllis: No. Shh. Shh. Stop it. That’s not gonna happen. Okay? You got it? That’s not gonna happen. You must never, ever tell a soul about this.

Nick: You may not want my opinion, but I’m gonna give it to you anyway.

Victoria: Of course you are.

Nick: This is a mistake. You taking nate on this trip with you, you can call it business all you want.

Victoria: Because it is.

Nick: Are we really gonna play this game? You’re obviously involved with this guy.

Victoria: I have known nate for a long time. We’re friends. We’re colleagues. That’s it.

Nick: Oh, come on, vic.

Victoria: Stay out of it, nick. It’s none of your business.

[ Nick scoffing ]

Nick: You know, we both know when you mix business with pleasure, you tend to, uh, throw judgment out the window.

Victoria: I can’t believe you went there. Nate is nothing like ashland. And by the way, you’ve been in the same exact position before, so don’t be such a hypocrite.

Nick: How long do you think it’s gonna be before people realize you’re having a fling with your subordinate?

Victoria: Well, I don’t know. How long before people noticed that you and sally were together? (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Nick: There are some clear and obvious differences with you and nate and me and sally, but let’s just forget about that for a second. I’m sure you think you have control of this situation. I think you’re playing with fire. Everything is going great for you right now, vic, but you feel like you gotta take this big risk.

Victoria: Don’t be ridiculous.

Nick: He’s got a girlfriend. He’s got this whole life outside of newman media. I mean, what are you doing? Are you working towards a relationship with this guy, or are you just having fun?

Victoria: You know, nick, just as you asked me to respect your privacy with sally, I would ask you for the same courtesy.

Nick: I care about you, all right?

Victoria: I care about you, too, even when you’re a complete knucklehead.

Nick: Well, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re about to blow up everything that you’ve worked so hard for.

Victoria: Well, I’m sorry. You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t see it that way. So, are we finished? I have a lot I have to do before I go to los angeles.

Nick: Yeah, sure. Safe travels. Of course, I will look after everything while you’re gone.

Victoria: I appreciate that.

Nick: I really hope you don’t end up regretting this trip.

[ Victoria sighing ]

Elena: This is dr. Dawson.

Audra: Hey, it’s audra. Uh, where are you? Did I catch you at a bad time?

Elena: Oh, I’m just catching up on some cases, and apparently I have to go home and help nate pack for his trip to los angeles. You know, things are actually getting better between us.

Audra: Really?

Elena: Yeah. He’s been really sweet lately. Um, if you have time for coffee tomorrow, I can catch you up on it.

Audra: Can’t wait.

Jack: I know you have spent a lot of your adult life on your own. Living a secret life with no one you could trust, no one you could count on. Was just you against the world. I am offering you a way out of that, if you will let me. My purpose these days, my purpose in life, is to be the man you can depend on. To do everything in my power to see that you walk out of here a free woman and I am not staying away. I’m not. Not now, not ever. And not because you need me. Because I need you.

Diane: Jack…

Jack: Marry me.

Diane: What?

Jack: I’m serious. We’re already engaged. Let’s seal the deal. Let’s do it now, sooner rather than later, before the trial. I want to be your husband through every moment of this ordeal. But you have to trust me. Believe in me. Marry me.

Phyllis: Listen to me. If you tell anyone that I am alive, diane will get off. And I will pay and pay and pay. The authorities will hunt me down. They will not stop until they find me and I will spend the rest of my life in prison, or I’ll be looking over my shoulder. Is that what you want for me?

Summer: I don’t want to lie to the people that I love. But I don’t want to lose you, either. I can’T. I can’t lose you again. I don’t have the strength to do that. Mom, I need you.

Phyllis: I’m sorry, baby. I’m sorry I put this in your hands. I’m sorry I put you in this position. It’s not fair.

Summer: No, it’s not fair. I’m just scared. I’m scared that if you don’t come with me right now and clear all of this up, I’m just scared that I’m never gonna see you again.

Phyllis: Ah, no, no. I don’t intend for that to happen. That will never happen, okay? All right? Hey, listen to me. It all boils down to this, okay? You either save your mother-in-law… or you save me. All right? Because if I reveal myself, diane will be exonerated and my life will be over. Or… you give me time to come up with a plan that works. Summer, all I need is time. I just need time, okay? Can you do that? Listen. Whatever you decide… I love you, supergirl. All right? Whatever you decide, I love you. I’ll never stop loving you. ‘Kay? I have to go.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Amelia has the kids. Oh, we could go back to bed. Pick up where we left off.

Finn: Mm… I would love that more than you know. But my mom’s coming over.

Steffy: Yeah. Unless I call and reschedule.

Steffy: It is tempting.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: But I have plans, too. I have some unfinished business with someone.

[ Alarm buzzing ]

Sheila: [ Sighs ] You’ve got to find a way out of here.

Bill: So, let me get this straight. The two of you, on your own, without consulting me, acquired a streaming channel that no one is watching.

Wyatt: Well, I mean, I wouldn’t say no one’s watch– that’s why we got it so cheap. Do you see? Liam?

Liam: Uh, right. Yeah. So– so we just figured instead of, you know, building a new one from the ground up, we would acquire and– and rebrand an existing channel devoted to all things fashion.

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, just change direction. Update it a little bit. You know, movies, new and old. Documentaries that feature some of the famous designers and– and models throughout the years.

Liam: Uh, and, you know, interviews with up-and-coming influencers. Live coverage of– of shows.

Wyatt: All the award shows. It’S…

Liam: You hate it.

Liam and wyatt: He hates it.

Liam: That’s it.

Wyatt: Yeah, we gotta go back.

Bill: No. I love it.

Wyatt: What?

Bill: And besides, you guys deserve a new toy. You held down the fort at spencer publications while I appeared to be awol with sheila.

Wyatt: [Laughs] Yeah.

Bill: I’m proud of you guys.

Liam: Thanks, dad.

Wyatt: Aw, look at this guy. We’re glad to have you back.

Liam: Personally and professionally.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Bill: Well, no one’s happier than I am. I lost precious time, those… disgusting months with sheila. And I want to get it back. Starting with the time I lost with my katie.

[ Katie moans sleepily ]

Carter: Morning, sunshine.

Katie: Morning. Are you watching me sleep?

Carter: Mm. What can I say? I love looking at you.

Katie: I like looking at you.

Liam: So, uh, katie, huh?

Wyatt: So, she’s back on your agenda?

Bill: Never left it. I just got sidetracked. But I’m back now. What?

Liam: No– nothing. No, it’s just, uh… I don’t think– we don’t want to be negative.

Wyatt: No. Never.

Liam: But–

Wyatt: No. Yeah, just, you– you have a history with, um–

Liam: With katie. And– and with brooke. And…

Wyatt: Yeah. You– you really– you really believe you have another shot with katie?

Bill: Absolutely.

Carter: [ Chuckles] Ah, waking up, you… sleeping beside me…

[ Katie chuckles ] I done something right.

Katie: Mm.

Carter: Starting my day gazing at such beauty.

Katie: [ Giggles ] Well, you make me feel beautiful. That’s not all you make me feel.

Finn: You’re going to see sheila?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Why?

Steffy: I have a few things I need to say to that murdering psycho. I just want to see her. I wanna see her behind bars. Finally caged like the animal she is.

Sheila: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, O.C. Keller. Any chance that I can get back on the, uh– the prison computer system? You know, I sent an email earlier. I want to see if I got a response.

Guard: Can’T. Visitor scheduled.

Sheila: Who?

Guard: You just gotta wait and see. Still living with odors?

Finn: Look, I just– I don’t like the idea of you being alone in a room with sheila.

Steffy: It’s prison. There’ll be guards. You have nothing to worry about. Though I love that you do.

Finn: Just what– why don’t you let me come with you?

Steffy: I want you to have a nice time with your mom. I’ll be fine.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: ‘Kay. I love you. I’ll be fine.

Finn: I love you. All right.

Katie: [ Moans ] Why can’t we just stay like this? Just stay in bed all day long?

Carter: That would be awesome.

Kate: Mm.

Carter: But duty calls for me, and you have a date with bill. [ Chuckles ]

Katie: Oh, my god, it’s not a date. He just– he just wants to talk.

Carter: Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

Katie: Maybe we’ll just talk about will.

Carter: Mm. You know that’s not true.

Katie: I’m sorry if it bothers you.

Carter: It doesn’T. I just don’t trust bill.

Katie: Well, I have a question.

Carter: Shoot.

Katie: Why are we talking about bill?

Carter: Bill who?

Katie: Hmm.

[ Giggles ]

Bill: You guys want a water?

Liam: Ah, no, we’re good.

Wyatt: Thank you. You– you and katie ha– have been through a lot together and– and not all good. Well, that could be said of any couple, wyatt.

Wyatt: True.

Liam: Uh, well, you know, I– I’m not sure just any husband falls for the wife’S… sister.

Wyatt: Yeah, dad. I mean, katie hasn’t been the same ever since you were with brooke.

Bill: Yeah, I know. I know, wyatt. I broke katie’s trust. But I can win it back.

Liam: Oh, he sounds really sure about it.

Bill: All I need is time and access.

Wyatt: And I take it that katie hasn’t been giving you either?

Bill: Not yet. But that’ll change. Not overnight. But I will get another chance with katie, and I won’t blow it next time.

Liam: And what about carter?

Bill: He’ll move on.

Wyatt: Well–

Liam: Okay.

Wyatt: I– it’s hard to argue with you when you’re this determined. You know, I mean, you have been known to pull off the impossible–

Liam: Technically, he just did.

Wyatt: Mm.

Liam: Right? With, you know, securing a confession from sheila, sending her back to prison for life.

Guard: Prison secure.

[ Door buzzing ]

Man on radio: Jail 5 and 7,

roger.

[ Door buzzing ]

Steffy: Had to see you in your natural habitat. I gotta say.. suits you. (Music throughout)

Bill: First thing I’m gonna do when katie comes back to me is whisk her off to the stella maris. A month, maybe two. However long it takes for us to really rediscover each other.

Liam: Yeah, cool. That’s– yeah. That’s– yeah. I– I mean, uh, I don’t know. Katie might have some trouble getting away. It just depends on the timing, ’cause, like, as if– if, say, it conflicted with the hope for the future launch–

[Cross chatter]

Bill: All right, all right. Can you just slow your practicality roll and allow me to do my visualization.

Wyatt: You got a vision board for that?

[ Liam snorts with laughter ] Put it up in the–

Bill: Keep it up, clown.

Wyatt: ‘Kay.

Bill: Keep it up. But watch, the two of us on the stella maris, and either before or after, we’re gonna do some house hunting.

Wyatt: Wow. You– you are really planning ahead here.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe too far, too fast.

Bill: Oh, here it comes.

Liam: I don’t know. Listen–

Bill: Here it comes.

Liam: I’m just– you– I love you. I’m just saying– I’m just saying it’s possible that you’re underestimating katie’s connection with carter.

[ Katie sighs ]

Katie: Wow.

Carter: Mm-hmm. You can say that again.

Katie: Ha. Okay. Wow. Mm, I think I have it solved.

Carter: What solved?

Katie: The problem with world peace.

Carter: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Katie. No, no. No more war. No more traffic-induced road rage. Even congress might get along. All they have to do is wake up with carter.

Carter: Mm.

Sheila: Problem solved.

Carter: I aim to please.

Katie: Seriously, no one could be in a bad mood after what we just did now.

Carter: Mm. You have a point.

[ Both moaning ] What’s that look?

Katie: I’m gonna ask a, um, slightly inappropriate question.

> Carter: Mm.

Katie: It’s just that I’m curious. What was it like with quinn?

[ Katie laughs ]

Li: So good to see you.

Finn: [ Chuckles] It’s only been, what, two days?

Li: Too long.

Finn: Hmm.

Li: Is this a rare day off for you?

Finn: Uh, I pulled a late night shift.

Li: Oh. So, you and steffy will pass each other at the door.

Finn: Hmm. Well, if we’re lucky.

Li: I know it’s challenging. You have the kids, two demanding careers. I assume that’s where steffy is right now, at forrester?

Finn: Actually, she’s at the prison. To see sheila.

Li: What? Why on the earth–

Finn: She wants to tell sheila how we really feel about her and the hell that she put us through. And not just steffy and me, mom. You, too.

Steffy: Surprised?

Sheila: So, why– why are you here, steffy? Are you here to berate me, humiliate me? Kick me while I’m down?

Steffy: Do I really have to choose?

Sheila: You could show just a little human compassion. You know, put yourself in my position, being set up by bill spencer. What if you found out finn never really loved you, that your whole life was just a scam?

Steffy: First of all, that would never happen. There’s no reason to scam me because I’m not a sociopathic killer. And second, hell will freeze over before I ever feel an ounce of sympathy for you. You’re getting everything you deserve. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Liam: Listen, regardless of how it turns out with katie, it’s really nice to have dad back.

Wyatt: Yeah. Vision boards and all.

[ Liam laughs ]

Bill: Thank you, guys. And– and look, I– I have nothing against carter. He’s fine. He’s a good guy. He’s not good enough for katie, and I told them both, I will fight for the woman I love. For my family. And I will win. Katie will come back to me.

Carter: No. No. No, thank you. No. Pillow talk with you about quinn is a lose-lose situation. I’m gonna pass on that question.

Katie: Oh, come on. Come on.

Carter: No.

Katie: I’m a modern woman. I can talk to you about anything. And I’m just– I’m curious. It just– it was so out of character for you. So, I’m asking because I really want to know the answer. I mean, what was it with quinn? Was it just sex?

[ Carter grumbles ]

Carter: Looking back, it was a bad time for the both of us. Quinn and eric, they were having issues, and my love life kept blowing up in my face. And… we felt very unseen. Except when we were together. Just ignited. And it was the guiltiest I’ve ever felt in my life. But to answer your question, there was a powerful attraction and it made for incredible sex. But in the end, that’s all it was, because she left. This. This, katie. This is real. We just made love. That’s so much better. In fact, it’s the best thing ever.

Katie: You’re right. It was love. And it is the best.

Finn: Sheila has messed with your life a lot longer than you and I even knew. And I know how we don’t talk about it anymore, but I imagine it’s still painful. Knowing that dad had an affair with her. That sheila gave birth to me.

Li: Honestly… I wish I never found out. Sometimes ignorance really is bliss.

Finn: Yeah, this whole sheila thing really tore our whole family apart.

Li: You’re right. My marriage didn’t survive sheila. But you did. Steffy did. I did. I won’t let my mind dwell on the past. The only thing that matters now is that you, steffy, and my precious grandchildren are finally safe from sheila carter.

Sheila: How can you be so cold? Heartless? You know, your husband, son, and I, we all share the same blood. Instead of you respecting that and encouraging a relationship between finn and his mother, hayes and his grandmother, no, you shut me out at every turn.

Steffy: And I always will. Count on that. Oh, sheila, sheila, sheila. You have no one to blame but yourself. Your crimes finally caught up with you and landed you in prison. And now you’ll stay here for the rest of your miserable life. And as far as my family is concerned… you don’t exist. Hayes will never know you.

Sheila: No, that’s not true, because… I’m his grandmother. Finn isn’t gonna let you.

Steffy: If you actually think that, you’re delusional.

Sheila: He’s my son. Finn may be mad, but deep down, he loves me. He could’ve let me die when I had the heart attack. But he didn’t, he saved my life. What more proof do you need?

Steffy: Fins saved you because that’s what he does. He’s a kind, loving man who tries to see the best in people. Even worthless people like you. But I’ll remind him of what a monster you are. And then I’m gonna wipe you from his mind. We will never think about you or talk about you again. My children, they are not gonna know your name. You will be completely erased. Guard?

Sheila: I am going to be back. I am not going to be locked up in this place forever.

Steffy: Guard?

Sheila: You haven’t seen the last of me, steffy.
