THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh my God, it’s you. I take it. You know me. By reputation as we’ve never been formally introduced, allow me to remedy that. Eight Roberts Brady. My name is Dimitri Vanner. And I assure you the pleasure is mine,

Roman. That’s wonderful news. Oh my gosh. That’s great. I’ll tell everybody for you. Yeah. Wait, wait. Okay. You still have to find Kate, but, but now we have reason to hope. I know. I’m so pleased. I’m so pleased. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll get back to you. Yeah. Bye-bye.

Oh, hi there. Hey, I was just talking to your dad. Wonderful news. Um, it, it appears that Kate got away from Bo and Roman thinks that she’s alive. That’s that scream. It is great. That’s incredible. I mean, dad must be happy. He’s happy. What, uh, What’s going on with you? Look at me.

Oh my goodness. Uh uh. How did that happen? No, it’s nothing. Mom. It, it’s nothing. I don’t think it’s nothing. I ran into a door.

Okay. I ran into E j’s fist.

Nicole went to the hospital. Why didn’t you say that in the first place? Because I’m still not sure. She wasn’t faking the whole thing. What whole thing? Well, we were arguing and then all of a sudden she grabbed her stomach and claimed that she was having these terrible cramps. Why didn’t you say that to me when you first saw me?

What kind of coldhearted person are you? Hey, I’m the one who took her to the er. Okay. Um, was she seen to, is she all right now? How the hell should I know? Wait, you didn’t even wait with her? Well, Nicole and I are in best season. Come on. Don’t get all bent outta shape. I told her it’s probably gas. He’s a drama queen.

What? Him? God’s name is wrong with you. Whoa. Get your hands off of her.

How can I be pregnant? I’m on the pill. Well, the pill is highly effective. But I’m sure you know that it doesn’t prevent a hundred percent of pregnancies. But the the cramps, why was I having cramps? They were probably just little contractions, which is normal in early pregnancy. They stopped on their own and you’re not spotting.

So I’m not concerned at the moment, but I do think that you should do a follow up exam with your ob gyn given your medical history, especially in light of the fact that you’ve. Had difficulties going full term with your pregnancies and all the risks that go along with that. Oh my God, I did not see this coming.

It’s a lot to take in. Ah, obviously was unplanned. Yeah, it was unplanned and, and, and not just because the pregnancy is dangerous for me and the baby, but also, so what, Kayla, I don’t even know who the father is.

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

Just keep the ice on it.

Was this the result of a ballroom fight? No, I gave those up. AJ punched me. And it took all my restraint not to punch him back. Well, there’s a comfort. Why did he hit you? Come on, please let it go. That means it was Nicole. Now I know why they pay you the big bucks. So tell me what happened. You’re not gonna like it.

I don’t expect to like it. EJ sucker punched me when he found out that Nicole and I slept together.

Save your righteous indignation. Nicole fell ill while she was alone with your beloved, and now she’s making jokes about it. Nicole didn’t fall ill. We were arguing and I was winning, and all of a sudden she got the vapors let her go. Who are you to flinging accusations at? Anyone else? Your knuckles are all red.

Ej. How’d that happen? It was an accident. What’d you knock out this time? No one. Hmm? Were you gonna need to start playing? My cj You have a performance review coming up? I’m not wasting any more time with the two of you. I’m gonna the hospital. Oh, Eric bastard. So is Nicole faking or is she actually in pain?

I don’t know. I, I don’t know. But you know what? If she is sick, I hope it’s serious. So you were with more than one man recently? Yeah, and I’m in a committed relationship with ej. Then why would you do that? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s not of my business. I dunno know why I said that. Kayla, I, I want you to know, do you remember those magic.

Biscuits. Well, Eric had one too. Are you saying that? Yeah. Eric and I were eyes guides and we had a one night stand.

You just have to be firm with him. Julie, tell him, tell him that if that he can’t wiggle his tooth. I know. Tell him if he keeps wiggling it, then uh, then the tooth fairy is not gonna show up. And, and do me a favor and tell him and Charlotte that I, that I love them and, and I miss them both very much. And, And I’ll be home soon.

Um, look, there’s somebody at the door. Julie, I gotta go. Thank you for everything and uh, I’ll, I’ll call you again in the morning. Okay, I will. Bye bye.

Hey, hey, uh, anything new about Bob? Uh, not since he squeezed hope’s hand. Oh, hey, come here. Sure. Kayla said it’s gonna be a long road back for him. Hope and I have been talking about moving him to a long-term care facility. Right. Well, it’s, it’s good to have him back in the land of the living. It’s a shame he’s not recovering faster.

Yeah. Well, my brother’s tough. I’m not counting him out. No, no. Anybody who knows about Brady wouldn’t count him out. That man’s a survivor just like Kate is. Yeah. I knocked on Steve’s door. He wasn’t, theres he, uh, looking for, uh, yeah, he took off a, a little while ago. Did he say where he was headed? I can catch you.

Uh, look. Yes. Um, but, uh, there’s something that you should know, okay? Uh, and I’m, I, I’m not sure you’re gonna like it.

I know who you are. Mr. Vam. Leischner, you’re the fancy cousin to the low lives, Carly and Frankie. He also posed as an I s A agent named Kyle. Somebody. Graham. I take it. Agent Reid refilled you in. Billy told me you had an accent. Yes, but Kyle Graham doesn’t, and I find myself reverting to his voice whenever I speak to Americans.

Tell me how is Agent Reid? I have such fond memories of romancing her as we jetted around the globe about the Issa’s money. Yeah. I know all about the tango in New Orleans, the hot kiss in Amsterdam. The fact is she knows that she was played by you. Actually. She’s forgotten all about you. Wow. I guess I had that coming.

You totally did. Still, I found her quite captivating and now I see where she gets it. Okay. So you know, don’t even bother. You’re immune to my charts. Mm-hmm. Just the way Billy was at the end when she took you down. Agent Graham, your plot blew up in your face. Why aren’t you in prison? That’s my business.

Hmm. Okay. So if you can answer that, answer this, why am I on this lousy boat gutting fish when I could be home in Salem with my loved ones? So you’re telling me that you slept on the coal because? Because we were both under the influence of the tainted biscuits. It was one time thing. We both knew it was a mistake.

Did you tell Sloan? I didn’t have to. She was the one that walked in on us. I thought she’d be quiet about it because she said she totally understood. Like she knows ej. I don’t know why she would bring it up to him, but she did. Yeah, she did total blow to his fragile Malee ego. And he found out about it. I told him it meant nothing and he just wouldn’t believe it.

And did it. Did what did it mean? Nothing to you? Nothing to Nicole.

Eric and I were hallucinating when we were having sex. Kayla, we didn’t know what we were doing. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. Could the drug hurt the baby? I think it’s too early to know that

this is such a mess.

Oh, hi. What are you? What are you doing here? I had to know if you are all right. Didn’t I? Is she.

You know, the least EJ could have done was, thank you for taking a call to the hospital. Yeah, no kidding. She’s working day and night to have us canned. You should had her take a cab. Yeah. Well, I’m not a horrible person. Can’t do that. Even to her. I mean, I was hoping to earn some brownie points with whom?

Cj, what the hell was I thinking? He ball me off for not staying there with her and holding her hand. I mean, obviously that was a big mistake. Mm-hmm. You gonna add that to your scaling performance review? Of course I am. Oh, that reminds me, MI was about to send yours when she started writing in pain. What you mean she didn’t send it?

Yeah, she was just getting her laptop out of her bag. When That laptop? Yeah. That

You thinking what? I’m thinking.

I was high as a kite mom. So was Nicole. What happened was the last thing either of us wanted, look, I’ve been researching the ingredients in those biscuits, and I should tell you there’s nothing in them that would increase libido. Okay, so what are you insinuating? Well, just that you and Nicole have always had a very strong attraction to each other, and you would mean you wouldn’t necessarily regret of co mom.

Of course. Regret as soon as to cold. She’s with ej now I’m with Sloan, and please don’t, don’t ask me why. I think I know why Mom. Nicole doesn’t know that EJ knows about us. Are you sure? Yeah, of course. I’m sure. I’ve called her and she hasn’t called me back. And ej, he was irritated. He was, he was enraged.

I’m afraid that Nicole’s gonna get blindsided. Ej, you can’t just barge in here. Kayla, I thought you were in Greece. I was, but as you can see, I’m now with a patient who happens to be my girlfriend. Gabby said that you suddenly started feeling terrible pain. Wasn’t that terrible? And it’s, it’s over now. You don’t have to worry.

Ej, Kayla could, could you give AJ and me a few minutes alone? Um, sure. Okay. Just make sure you see me before you leave because I wanna discuss your, uh, follow-up care. Okay. Uhhuh. Okay. Let me get dressed now.

Ej, I’m sorry, Gabby scared you and, and she. Should have made so much out of it, but I’m fine now. Well, that’s a relief. Um, does Kayla know why you had this pain? It’s just something I ate. I didn’t agree with me. Obviously a delayed reaction to the biscuits maybe? Yeah. That. That might have been it, but like I said, it was, it’s nothing.

It couldn’t have been nothing Gabby despises you, yet she was worried enough to drive you here and now you are fine. And it was just a tummy ache. I’m, I’m sorry, I, I, I find that hard to believe. What are you saying in light? Well, it’s possible, isn’t it? After all, you lied to me about sleeping with Eric.

God, I’ve kind of called Nicole Honey. I’m sure she will call you back as soon as she gets your message. All right, mom, please don’t try to shrink me. I know you don’t like ej and you don’t like Sloan. I we’re not. Talk about what I’m feeling. I’m curious. How are you feeling at the moment? Not great. Uhhuh is your head throbbing?

Hold still. Let me look at that. Oh, honey, that is not gonna close without stitches. Let me take you to the hospital. Mom, look, you know what? You’ll end up with a scar if you don’t. I don’t care. Or you’ll end up with an infection. If you don’t, you’re a doctor. Stitch it up. I don’t have my bag. This is not exactly a sterile environment and an ER is, it’s full of sick people.

Yeah. But I have some connections there. I could probably get you into an exam room. You’re not gonna let this go, are you? No, I’m not. Let’s go.

So what do you think her password is, Holly? No, that’s, that’s too obvious. Uh, hold on a second. I remember she was typing it in when she was grabbing her stomach in pain. Yeah. Oh, I love your memory. Okay. You do realize that it is highly unethical for me to access and alter an evaluation by job performance, right.

Like it’s not unethical for her to lie about you. That report of hers is probably calling you everything in the book you want. You wanna let that go in. I mean, I know I, I started this whole thing when I hired you to do these job performances, but what a crockett’s become, huh? No, Stephan, listen, everything that I wrote about either Damer is accurate.

Okay. From his annuity attitude for, to his nasty colon, to him letting his mistress from this company for him. You are one of the most ethical people I know. I bet Nicole did put that in her report. Oh, wow. Okay. So she must have actually been in pain because she left the file wide open. Seriously read it.

Scattered, inattentive, possibly brain damaged. What the hell? Okay. Insist on using plural. They in business correspondence. What? What is she even talking about? They is plural. Also fails to use inclusive language such as Latin X. Wow. Okay. Here you go. He’s completely unfamiliar with social media apps and pop culture references, which severely undermines his ability to understand new markets.

For example, he has no idea who the singer Lizzo is. Lizzo Lizzo. It’s Lizzo. Okay. This is not unimportant. Influencers like H can dramatically impact a company’s profit margin. Are you? Kidding me. Wait, wait. You seriously don’t know who Liz is? I, I don’t know. Okay. We’ll have to work on that, but just keep, keep reading.

It’s fine. You’re not gonna believe this. What? What is it? In summation, the Demer family is overjoyed at Stephan’s Recovery, but I regret to say that after four years of being kept alive by artificial means, Stephan is no way prepared to run a multinational corporation. Oh, and here’s a lovely comment. She included from an unnamed employee, wish he’d stayed dead.

Fat bitch.

I am surprised at your reaction, Kate. I made sure that this vessel was both seaworthy and comfortable, and as I was told, that you have spent years of your life studying the finer points of fish. Chopping enough. Okay. Just tell me why I’m here. Hmm. Let’s just say that. Um. You’re of great value to me as a hostage.

Okay, then call my husband and demand a ransom from Roman Brady. Where would he get the money? Is police pension or the proceeds of his cd? Little tavern. Okay. Believe me, he’s quite resourceful and he will find a way, whatever it is, to pay what he needs to to get me back. Are you sure about that? Yeah, I am sure about that because I have friends and I have family that can help him.

Oh, friends and I places Chad Dira is like my son. So why don’t you call him so we can end this first and I can go home.

Okay. So, uh, Harris Michaels is on the case now. Whose idea was that? Andrew Donovans, he thinks that Michaels is our best hope to find Kate and Kate was was taken off the island on a boat. Michaels is a Navy Seal and apparently an expert at tracking ships that have gone missing. All right. My problem with this is I’m not convinced he’s fully deprogrammed, so I’m not convinced we can trust him.

Look what the hell he did with Steven Cal. I understand he kept him in a damn cell. I understand that, but because of him, they were rescued the very next day, okay? I get that you are willing to give him the benefit of the death. If it helps find Kate. I don’t care where that help comes from.

Kayla, huh? Oh my God, I can’t believe it. Oh, I’m so happy to see. What about you? What happened to your face? Oh, it’s nothing. Nothing. You’re bleeding. Mm-hmm. Thank you. That’s what I’ve been saying. Stitches, doctor’s orders. Ah. Mm-hmm. I, uh, I didn’t know that you were home. Yeah. I can’t tell you how good it’s to see you here.

Yes, it’s good to be back. I really thought I, I wouldn’t see this place again. I understand. Have you seen both? Yes. He’s showing some signs of awareness, but it’s gonna be a long memory. We’re all praying for him. Uh, uh, update on Kate. No, and uh, Roman is not gonna give up until he finds her. Stephen Chad stayed behind in Greece.

I just wish that there was more to go on. I do too. Well gotta get this one stitched up. Yeah. Oh, get care of yourself. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Eric, please just, just leave it.

It’s no secret that. I slept with Eric, but that was before. Don’t waste your breath. I ran into Sloane Peterson earlier and she was delighted to tell me every, everything. Well, she’s lying and she hates me, and she would do everything. Confronted what? Why would he? I confronted him on it and he spilled the beans.

I also overheard you on the phone with him the other night. Swearing into secrecy about something. Now I know where that something is.

I would’ve told you, but, but you were high as a kite on those biscuits and it was one off thing that meant nothing. Yes. Yes. That’s what Eric said. But I’d also built up a head of steam and I took it out on him. Oh. And I came home to confront you on it, and that’s when I found out that you were sick and all my anger just dissipated and all I could care about was finding you.

I just. Didn’t think that you would understand

Nicole.

The only thing I don’t understand is why you felt the need to lie to me

because I knew how upset you get it. Given my history with Eric and your history. With Eric. Look, I understand that you may have been afraid, but I got it outta my system when I punched Eric. Gee, did you hurt him? Ah, he’s fine. More or less.

What about you? Just some skin knuckles and a new awareness that life isn’t always under my control, but I am more concerned about you right now. Are you really? Okay. This all feels like quite a lot just for a tummy ache.

What do you mean? I heard Kayla say that she wanted to discuss your follow up plan for IgEs. Really,

Nicole, look at me darling. Are you seriously ill?

No, and, and don’t think that for a minute.

That’s relief. But I know you and I know there’s something you aren’t telling me.

You’re right, ej. There he is.

To this, through no fault of his own, Stephan was completely out of touch with the real world for at least four years, but here’s my part, okay? But in spite of this, he shows amazing attention to detail. He’s also a joy to work with and has fostered a very positive office culture. I hope he stays with the company.

Permanently. Hmm. So what do you think? I think you’re brilliant.

Oh, do we have to finish this now? Well, Nicole could walk in any minute, so, yeah. Work fast. Okay. But I have to get all your good points. Mm-hmm. See, I have to tell them how smart you are and how good you are in business matters. And how sexy and how handsome. Okay. Forget it. Screw

um, it’s a, it’s a patient’s record. You can’t really see that. And you know what? We’ve gotta get you treated. Hmm. I could do it. I, I just can’t do it right this minute. Oh, well I can stitch ’em up, right. Let, let me text the attending physician. Thank you. Yeah. Sale wasn’t the same without you. Thank you. So when the attending, uh, uh, turns up, will you let him know that we’ll be waiting in my office?

I’ll, I’ll do that. Thanks. Take care. Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Ej, I don’t know why this is so hard to tell you. Tell me what.

Kayla. Thanks that I’m in the early stages of menopause. Oh,

and that’s it.

That’s it. And you’re upset? Well, yeah. Because it’s came as such a surprise and I’m not ready. I want to let you know that there is nothing that will make you less beautiful or desirable to me. Right? Until you’re fanning me with magazines because I’m having hot flash. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

I am just relieved that it isn’t anything more serious.

You have told me everything. Yes.

Yes. Don’t worry about me, ej. I’m healthy and that is the truth.

You know, Chad, damn. I mean, I, I drive myself nuts trying to figure out what the hell happened to Kate. And then I have thoughts like, damn, it’s windy out on that ocean. What if she’s in a small boat at Capsized and San? You can’t go down that road. What if she’s marooned out there by herself? We don’t even know where in the hell to start.

Look, okay, listen. Michael’s has old friends that are coast guards. They’re helping him. Okay, good. Good idea. I like that. Roman, you can do things that we can’t. Okay. We’re gonna find her. All right. She’s cheated that three times since this nightmare started. She’s alive. Okay. I can, I can feel it in my bones.

Thank you for saying that, and I hope you’re right. But I wanna say something to you, Chad. I’m sorry. I have no right to lay my troubles on you of all people, John, Steve, and I. We have had a chance with the women. We love Roman. Listen to me. I need you to keep the faith nice. Try Kate. But I’m not calling Chad Dira or anyone else who can track me on my phone.

You haven’t heard of a burner phone? I’m not ready to make my demands known. There’s still many factors at play. Much factors. You being here is not just a random occurrence. You do know that Well, I know that now. Good, good. You escaping that island and winding up in this little fishing boat with yours.

Truly, it’s all part of a much larger plan.

Well, why can’t I be in on that much larger plan? I mean, who am I gonna tell the fish all in good time? But for now, how about a. Tango. Let’s see how you measure up to your lovely Don at the Don’t touch me. I wouldn’t dance with you if you were the last person on earth. Okay. As you wish.

Back to the fish you go.

Okay. Well, looks like I’m ready to send you. Same. Go for it.

All right. Looks like the board is gonna get a glowing review of your work from Nicole an a scathing thumbs down review of AJ’s work from me and in the board’s, endless dysfunction. They’ll probably ignore both. Hopefully not, but you know what? At least we’ve taken the first step. You and I are gonna run this company now.

Where were we?

I think we should do this in private. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Oh, Eric, what are you doing here? Reading stitches match. Remember when you sucker punch me, it brings you here. Oh, I had my hand looked at anyways. I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear that Nicole and I talk things through. We both understand that your little one night stand meant absolutely nothing to her. So let’s just pretend it.

Didn’t happen, shall we? Sounds good to me.

Thanks for warning me, Eric. That is too late. Well, I should probably delete this.

Hey, uh, how did it go with ej?

He knows I slept with Eric. How did he find out? Eric’s new girlfriend, Sloane Peterson. I see. Did you tell him you’re pregnant? No. No, I, I told him I was going through early stages of menopause and I won’t tell Eric either. And as of now, this has to be my decision. Just so you know, I just ran into Eric in the nurse’s station.

He’s here. Yes. But I didn’t even hint that you were in the building. Thank you, Kayla. I, I went through my calendar and I still don’t know who the baby’s father is. How long until I can find out? Well, we could do a vaginal ultrasound, but I don’t think it’s gonna tell you anything different. In a few weeks we could do a blood test that would be definitive, but you’re gonna have to get a DNA sample from one of these perspective fathers.

Okay. How you holding up?

There are so many things. Going through my head, not until I find out whose baby I’m carrying, aside from you and me, no one can know that I’m pregnant.

Devon: You look beautiful.

Harmony: Oh, well, thank you for saying so.

Devon: How did this happen? I didn’t know you were in town.

Harmony: Oh, it is the most incredible thing. I was in chicago working at a conference for the last few days and as I was leaving, tucker reaches out to me. Yeah, told me about this lounge and neil’s name and how you and lily were gonna put together this event to celebrate his memory. Yeah, he even sent a fancy car to bring me here.

Devon: Tucker did that?

Harmony: Yeah.

Diane: Thank you both for never giving up on me. Even when I thought it was hopeless. And how lucky am I that michael was my lawyer? He managed to pull off the impossible, getting me out of that jail, at least for now.

Jack: No, forever. We are in this with you for the long fight.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Dad and I are not going to give up until we prove your innocence.

Diane: Well, I know the two of you believe that I had nothing to do with phyllis’s murder, but there’s a lot of people in this town who feel differently, including your wife. How is summer going to react when she sees me here in her home? I don’t want to cause any tension in your marriage.

Kyle: I am going to do everything I can to help summer accept that we are all back under this roof, together. Because you need to be here. This is your home too.

Jack: That’s exactly what I told your mother.

Diane: It’s almost like the two of you rehearsed that.

Kyle: Uh, does she know about, um…

Tucker: I’m just glad it worked out.

Diane: Why on earth would tucker… it was ashley, wasn’t it?

Harmony: Yeah. But look who’s talking, you know. I’m sorry, it makes my heart want to burst seeing how well you’re doing, you know. Your son, abby, and– and– and, oh, I’m so relieved that the two of you, you and lily resolved your issues. The two of you working side by side again.

Devon: I know. It feels like everything in my life is moving in the right direction.

Harmony: Yes. Well, even with tucker? Seems like he’s trying to make up for lost time.

Devon: He is. He really is. And I think that making this happen is a great start.

Tucker: Hey, victor.

Victor: Tucker.

Tucker: Enjoying your expanded empire?

Victor: I have big plans for your company, you know.

Tucker: I should hope so.

Victor: By the way, it’s very touching what you did. Bringing harmony to see devon.

Tucker: Well, anything for your son, right?

Victor: Right.

Abby: Hi.

Nikki: Hi, abby. What a great job you did of planning this. It’s a wonderful evening.

Abby: Oh, thank you. That means a lot coming from a party planning expert like yourself.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know about that.

Abby: Please, what you did with that bicentennial gala? It was an unforgettable night.

Nikki: It was a lovely evening until…

Abby: Right. Yes, let’s hope tonight has a much better ending.

Nate: This is a wonderful surprise. So, are you two the welcoming committee?

Nikki: Hi, nate.

Nate: Abby, nikki.

Nikki: I didn’t realize you and victoria were back from the west coast.

Nate: Yes, we just got back and I came straight here.

Abby: Oh, I didn’t realize you were out of town until I texted you the invite.

Nate: It was kind of a last minute trip.

Abby: Where’s elena?

Nate: Um, elena couldn’t make it. Is that harmony?

Nikki: Tucker’s surprise for devon.

Victor: May I have your attention, please? We’re here to celebrate a man who was my friend. Not only on a personal level, but I trusted him implicitly in business. One of the few people I ever trusted, it was neil winters. Now, we can talk about a lot of his accomplishments, but one thing stands out to me as a father who’s concerned about family, is how he dealt with raising devon and lily. Every parent hopes to pass on to his offspring a solid foundation with which the children who go out into the world and deal with all the slings and arrows. Often outrageous fortune. Neil did that. The fact that both devon and lily are here tonight, honoring the memory of the man who raised them, says everything about my friend. And says everything about family because after all has been said and done, it is family that holds us together. So cheers to neil and his memory.

All: To neil.

Summer: I– I– I don’t understand. Did the– did the D.A. Drop the charges?

Kyle: Michael was able to get mom out on bail. Dad and I tried to reach you.

Summer: Did the cops find out any new information?

Kyle: Unfortunately not.

Jack: Summer, I realize this is going to be difficult for you, but diane is innocent. She didn’t kill phyllis and it’s only a matter of time before we find evidence that proves that. Hi.

Devon: Mr. Newman, thank you so much for what you said about our dad.

Lily: Yeah, truly. That was so beautiful.

Victor: My pleasure, I meant every word, you know that.

Lily: I do. Thank you.

Abby: Dad.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Abby: That was a beautiful speech. It brought me to tears.

Victor: It was spoken from the heart. Uh, by the way, I’m very glad that I have you two by yourselves for a moment.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Victor: Devon, I want to tell you how proud I am that you’re now becoming a part of my family.

Devon: Thank you.

Victor: I know that you make my daughter very happy. That means a hell of a lot to me, okay?

Abby: I am.

Victor: So cheers to both of you.

Abby: Cheers. Everything feels right and it’s all because of this guy.

Nikki: It was very brave of you to come tonight, to this room, the last place you saw your mother.

Daniel: I actually think I’m handling it okay.

Nikki: Well, I see that you are, but still, it must be a terrible struggle for you and summer.

Sharon: A loss that big, it can take a while for life to feel normal again. In some respects, it never goes away.

Nikki: And I know I’ve said this to you before, but I am deeply sorry for what happened. I just want you to know that you have my full support and victor’S.

Sharon: And mine. Whatever you need, daniel. If you want someone to talk to or just listen. I’ll pour your favorite coffee for you, on the house, any time.

Daniel: Thank you. It’s very kind of you both. Um, I need to just excuse myself for a moment.

Nikki: Yeah, yeah.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Devon: Thank you very much.

Nate: Four years. Hard to believe.

Devon: I know exactly what you mean. I am, uh, happy that you showed up though.

Nate: Glad I got the invite.

Devon: Yeah, that’s what neil would’ve wanted. Could, uh, elena not get off work?

Nate: I, uh, came here straight from the airport. Elena had a long, tough day. I’m pretty sure she’s already crashed out at our place. You know, um, I think I’m gonna grab another drink and say hi to lily. I haven’t spoken to her yet.

Devon: Yeah, man. Enjoy the party.

Nate: Thanks.

Sharon: Are you having a good time?

Mariah: I am, a very nice time. Uh, but I was hoping that you could enlighten me.

Sharon: Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Mariah: So, I obviously know about harmony from devon. Um, but this is the first time we’ve met. What I don’t understand is ashley. She seems to be staring daggers at harmony every time she thinks somebody isn’t looking.

Sharon: Uh, good observation skills.

Mariah: It’s a gift.

Sharon: Back when tucker and ashley were married, he and harmony had a moment.

Mariah: Got it, got it. So, harmony is not ashley’s favorite person. Well, that certainly makes things interesting.

Harmony: You know, I can’t thank you enough for contacting me.

Tucker: The smile on devon’s face is all the thanks I need.

Harmony: I am so in awe of that young man, everything he’s accomplished. But even more importantly, who he is. With little to no help from the two of us.

Tucker: Probably just as well.

[ Harmony chuckling ] I’m still not very good at doing the right things for the right reasons, but ashley’s helping me get there.

Harmony: I’m really glad that you two got back together. I hate the mistake we made that hurt her. But hopefully, you have learned your lesson and you don’t screw things up again.

Tucker: You and me both.

Abby: Hi.

Ashley: Hi.

Abby: So, when we spoke earlier, you knew about tucker’s big surprise.

Ashley: I did. He’s making a real effort with his son.

Abby: Well, I have to hand it to the guy. He found a way to make tonight even more special for devon. Although, I’m sure you’re wishing that he found another way to do it.

Ashley: I think it’s time I said hello.

[ Abby sighing ] We’re done.

[ Summer sighing ]

Diane: Summer, I know my being here comes as a shock to you. You, uh, you still believe I’m responsible for phyllis’s death and I– I can understand why you feel that way, but I also promise you it’s not true.

Summer: Because your promises mean so much?

Diane: No, because I would never, ever have taken your mother away from you.

Summer: You are responsible, diane. Since the minute you lured jack to L.A., You set off this whole chain of events that has put us where we are now and after everything you’ve done, after all the lies you told, it’s not fair. It’s not fair that you get to be here with the people that you love and my family has been ripped apart. I– I’m sorry.

[ Summer sighing ] I’m happy for you guys, but I won’t be celebrating this return. I– I– I can’T.

Kyle: Maybe we should go out, take a walk, get some air.

Summer: That sounds like a good idea.

Kyle: Okay.

Diane: Um, hang on, summer. Uh, there’s something I need to explain to you.

Ashley: Hello, harmony.

Harmony: Oh, hi, ashley. So nice to see you.

Ashley: You as well. So nice you could be here for devon.

Harmony: Ah, well, it’s even more meaningful to me since I wasn’t able to attend neil’s original service.

Tucker: Yeah, I wasn’t either.

Harmony: Oh, it’s so strange being back here after all these years have gone by. So much has changed and yet, so much has kind of stayed the same.

[ Harmony chuckling ]

Ashley: Oh, yeah. Such as what?

Harmony: Well, the connection between the two of you for one. I really do wish you all the best. For the two of you to have found your way back to each other after dealing with so much pain and anger, it’s such a gift. It’s something to be cherished and admired.

Ashley: That’s a lovely thing to say.

Nate: The whole event. It’s great. You, abby, devon, you’ve really outdone yourselves. I mean, the music, pictures. What a perfect way to keep neil’s memory alive. Not that anyone needs reminding.

Lily: Yeah. Well, thank you. It, uh, definitely worked out. And thank you for coming on such short notice. Devon and I thought it was important that you were here.

Nate: I wasn’t in L.A. Long, but, uh, I was ready to leave.

Nikki: You must be over the moon having little aria living so close by.

Sharon: I cannot get over those cute baby cheeks and I love having mariah and tessa nearby too.

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, I know exactly where I fall on the priority list now.

Nikki: Now, now, don’t blame sharon. Grandchildren are life’s greatest blessings.

Victor: You and tessa and aria take full advantage of the grounds.

Mariah: Oh, thank you. Well, you know what? We will– we will keep that in mind.

Victor: Good.

[ Daniel exhaling ]

Summer: I’m not crazy. I know what happened to stark because I heard it from the only other person who was there. The person who stabbed him to death. Mom. She’s alive.

Lily: Hey, you okay?

Daniel: Yeah, you? Party’s great. Everything seems to be going really well.

Lily: Okay. Don’t do that. I can see that you’re upset.

Daniel: I’m not upset. I– I’m just thinking.

Lily: About what?

Daniel: It’s not important. Tonight, I’m here for you, remember?

Lily: Daniel, come on. I can– I know that you’re holding back and I know that it’s about your mom. When you have chronic kidney disease. Hi, my name is tony cooper.

Abby: Those two A.M. Feedings come mighty early.

Mariah: They do. Thank you so much for understanding.

Devon: Of course.

Mariah: Goodnight. See you soon. Good night. It’s so nice to meet you.

Nikki: It’s been a wonderful evening. Thank you again for including us.

Devon: Please. Thank you both for being here. You were two of my father’s closest friends, so we would have moved the day if you couldn’t have been here.

Victor: We wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

Nikki: And harmony, enjoy the rest of your visit.

Harmony: Oh, I’m sure I will.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t want to intrude on daniel and lily.

Victor: They seem to be in deep conversation.

Nikki: Can you say good night for us?

Devon: I absolutely will.

Victor: All right.

Devon: For sure.

Victor: Okay.

Lily: I knew you shouldn’t have come here and you definitely shouldn’t have stayed. Not here.

Daniel: I’m fine. I promise.

Lily: Okay, then why are you upset?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: Look, my conscience is bothering me. I can’t tell you why. I just– I can tell you, I don’t know what to do.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Look, I know what it’s like to grieve and to feel lost, and then you feel this shame because you feel like you’re not living up to your ideals, but what really matters are what decisions you can live with and which ones you can’T.

Ashley: I really feel like it was an honor to be here tonight.

Tucker: Yeah, that makes two of us.

Abby: Well, we’re delighted you could come.

Devon: Absolutely. And I haven’t had a chance to say thank you for what you did, tucker. Because having my mom come, that was very, very special.

Tucker: You’re most welcome. I’m happy to see you two reunited.

[ Daniel inhaling ]

Daniel: Thank you for listening and for the good advice. You always seem to know what you’re talking about.

Lily: Look, I know it’s hard, okay? But you’re gonna get through this.

Daniel: I know, I will, I will. Um, I gotta– I gotta take off, but you’re heading to new york tomorrow to see charlie, right?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there for business, but mostly to see charlie.

Daniel: Good. Um, I guess this will be it for a while, huh?

Lily: Well, I’m not gonna be gone that long and I will be thinking of you. And just remember that whatever you decide, it’s gonna be the right thing.

Daniel: How can you be sure?

Lily: Because I know you. Bye.

Diane: Summer, I give you my word that I will do my best not to crowd you. So take all the time and space you need and I will do my best to stay out of your way. Although, I can only do so much with my present circumstances.

Summer: Which are what?

Diane: I– I have to wear this ankle monitor. It’s a– it’s a condition of my bail agreement, so I– I can’t leave the property.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: So, you’re– you’re gonna be here where I live, 24/7. I– I can’t– I can’t avoid you?

Kyle: Hey, I’m sure we can all find a way to coexist. For harrison, if for no other reason.

[ Phone chiming ]

Summer: I have to go.

Kyle: Now? Why?

Summer: I just, I can’t be here right now.

Kyle: What? Summer. Hey, wait, wait. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Lily: Abby, honestly, I cannot get over how you and your family created this lounge after my dad. I mean, this is amazing.

Abby: Oh, thank you.

Lily: I mean, he loved music so much. He could have had a career just owning a club.

Devon: Oh, yeah. But he still didn’t care about anything as much as you and me.

Lily: No, family always came first.

Malcolm: For my brother, family was everything.

Lily: Oh, my!

Devon: Malcolm, what you doing here, man?

Lily: Hi. I thought you were in the maldives. What’s going on?

Malcolm: Come on, now. Like I would miss all of you in one place, paying tribute to the man himself.

Lily: Yeah.

Malcolm: There he is. Besides, you all know me. When it came to the great neil winters, I show up. Whatever it takes.

Devon: Hey malcolm, you remember my mom, harmony, right?

Harmony: Also known as yolanda, once upon a time.

Malcolm: I do, I do. It’s nice to see you again.

Harmony: You too.

Malcolm: You know that young man right there? He’s a blessing to all his parents. You should be proud.

Devon: Thank you, man.

Nate: You missed it, malcolm. There was a lot of love here earlier.

Lily: Well, there’s even more now.

Malcolm: Oh, look at this space, it’s got neil written all over it. Like he designed it.

Devon: Right. Nah, this was all abby, victor, and nikki’s vision.

Malcolm: Well, you did the damn thing. Well done.

Abby: Thank you. It was my pleasure.

Harmony: Neil manages to inspire people, even after he’s gone.

Lily: So, I guess it means he’s never really gone, right?

Nate: He was so supportive of me being a doctor. I wonder what he’d think now?

Malcolm: Are you following your heart?

Nate: I am.

Malcolm: Well, there it is. Neil would be the last one to tear you down for that.

Abby: Yeah.

Harmony: That was neil, trying to lift people up, right?

Malcolm: Yeah.

Harmony: Reminding people that there’d always be a better tomorrow, no matter how bad today was. He learned from his own mistakes, was able to find forgiveness and hope when you didn’t think it was possible. Devon and I owe so much of who we are now to neil. He raised devon as if he was his own after I failed my son. He never stopped believing in you, devon. Devon?

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: What were you thinking about?

Devon: I– I just made a decision about something that I need to do for myself and for neil.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Still nothing from summer. I shouldn’t have let her go.

Jack: Look, she needed some fresh air and some time to think. You handled it very well.

Kyle: You know, maybe– maybe it’s nothing, but she disappeared earlier without telling me where she’s going. Now, she gets a text and she’s off again.

Jack: Do you think somehow they’re linked?

Kyle: I– could be, I don’t know. Where does she go? She keeps running away. I am trying so hard to reconnect with her in the middle of all this chaos, but she just keeps taking off. She pushes me away.

Jack: Sometimes in situations like this, the best you can do is be there to welcome her home with an open heart and open arms.

Kyle: I can’t wait that long. I need to find her.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: Hello? Somebody there?

Summer: Relax, it’s just me.

Daniel: You got here fast.

Summer: Yeah well, I wish you’d picked a different spot.

Daniel: This is your spot.

Summer: I don’t want to keep meeting here. It feels risky.

Daniel: You know what summer? I really don’t care what you do and what you don’t want right now. This is gonna be about what I have to say.

Devon: Yeah, I was just thinking about how almost everything in my life I have today because neil was gracious enough all those years ago to welcome me into your family. And you and I are running a company right now that only exists because he was willing to create it with me. And I’ve never imagined being able to do enough in life to thank him or honor him properly. And I don’t know why it took me this long to think of doing this because it makes so much sense to me, but… I wanna take neil’s last name and legally go by devon winters.

[ Lily exhaling ] Would you be okay with me doing something like that?

Harmony: That’s exactly how it should be.

Devon: Yeah? Malcolm, what do you think?

Malcolm: Hey. You know what he would say, right?

Devon: I think he’d say, “my man.”

Malcolm: My man. Devon, he would love this. Now, you know him. He’d try to keep it all cool on the outside when on the inside, he’d be a mess. You’re doing the right thing. Look at you. My boy is finally part of the family. You’re a winters now and you’re my brother.

Devon: Thank you. Thank you, man.

Malcolm: Yeah.

Devon: Lily, do you approve of me doing this too?

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Of course, I approve. I– I love this. I mean, what a beautiful way to honor dad. And you’re already my brother, in every way. Devon winters. Devon and lily winters.

Devon: Sounds– sounds good.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: Thank you. I think he’d be all right. I love you.

Harmony: You too. We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Jack: Oh, I can’t tell you how good it is to hold you in my arms again. Feel you like this.

Diane: Jack, are you okay? Really? You were always so worried about me, but this constant turmoil, I– I know it’s taking a toll on you.

Jack: I’ll be okay. I keep hoping that once we find out what really happened to phyllis that night, things will start turning around for all of us. And not that summer’s loss is going to be felt any less. It’s just I– I hope with time she can start to heal, that we all can.

[ Diane sighing ]

Daniel: Went to the jazz lounge tonight for a tribute to neil. You know, the same place where our mother died, where we had her memorial. Where everyone had a good cry over it.

Summer: Yeah, okay. What happened?

Daniel: What happened? What happened was every time I turned around, people were offering me their condolences. People were wondering how the two of us were coping. Now, lily, who stood by me through this whole thing, tonight, while she was consoling me, I just sat there with this big fat lie hanging over my head. And you know what? I hated myself for it.

Summer: Daniel, there is no reason for you to feel that way.

Daniel: I can’t keep lying, summer. I can’t keep deceiving people that care about me. I can’t think about diane being tried and convicted for something that she didn’t do. And I’m not gonna do it anymore.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: What does that mean?

Daniel: What do you think it means? We’re gonna go tell everyone the truth, that mom is alive. Then, we’re gonna go find her and we’re gonna bring her home.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Abby: Uh, well, I declare this party officially over.

Lily: Whoo! And cheers to abby for doing such a great job.

Abby: Oh, well, it was so much fun. I had a ball doing it.

Harmony: Yeah. So let’s touch base in the morning, okay?

Devon: That sounds perfect.

Lily: And where are you staying?

Harmony: Right here in the hotel.

Lily: Oh, okay. You too?

Malcolm: No, I actually got to catch a flight up out of here.

Devon: Leave already?

Malcolm: I may have gone awol on my assignment.

Lily: Oh, okay. You left that part out.

Malcolm: Yeah, it’s no big deal. I’ll get back before they ever knew I was gone.

Nate: Well, you gotta come back soon. And stay longer next time.

Malcolm: I will. You good?

Nate: Yeah, yeah, of course. Just, uh, good to see you. Well, uh, I think I’ll, uh, get a room here too. I’m wiped out. Elena has an early shift and I don’t want to disturb her. I’ll walk you to the elevator?

Harmony: Oh, sure. Yes.

Nate: Goodnight, y’all.

Harmony: Good to see you.

Malcolm: Good to see you.

Harmony: Yeah. Oh, and good night, mr. Winters.

Devon: Good night, mom.

Abby: Well, I am gonna wait for you out front, whenever you’re ready.

Devon: Okay. Love you.

Abby: I love you. Good night. Good night. So good to see you.

Malcolm: Great to see you, take care of yourself.

Abby: You too.

Lily: Oh, man, I am so happy, I am. Devon winters. I love this place. And you, you always show up in the nick of time. How do you do that, huh? You’re here. Look at you.

Malcolm: I’m here. I show up for neil. You know why? Because if things were reversed and it all ended a little differently, he’d be showing up for me, I know he would.

Devon: Yeah, you’re right about that.

Malcolm: It looks like tonight was a beautiful evening.

Lily: Yeah.

Malcolm: You did that man proud. Tonight and always.

Devon: I love you, dad.

Lily: We miss you more than you know.

Malcolm: Your star keeps shining, my brother. It keeps shining.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Knocking on door] – You said it was urgent. I cleared my calendar. – Thank you. – So what sort of charges might be pending against you? – Uh, it’s not me. It’s carly. – Ah. – Yeah. I want to know what the sec has against carly. – Yeah. Well, that is privileged information. And as such, I cannot disclose it to a third party. – Diane, since when am I a third party? – Since your divorce. You are no longer entitled to or protected by spousal privilege.

[Dramatic music] – Hey. – Hey. You wanted to see me? – Yeah. I know I’m putting you on the spot. But do you have any information or any details about the sec’s case against me? – Carly, I don’t– – oh, wait. I already know everything about your dad, so there’s no reason to waste your time. – What about my dad? – Look, the feds were prepared to hold me for 24 hours. The only reason I was allowed to go home was because of sonny.

– Sam. – Nina. – Hi. – Did you come to check in with michael? – Yeah, I wanted to see if he or willow needed anything. – That’s very kind of you. – Hey, sam, i was just wondering if I could talk to you for just one second. I– – yeah, sure. What’s up? – I was hoping you could tell me about… my daughter’s wedding.

[Gentle music]

[Machine beeping] – [Sighs] – What are you so happy about? – Well, being married to you has a lot to do with it. – Good answer. – And the fact that drew and liesl are on their way back, and you’re gonna get your bone marrow transplant. You’re gonna live, willow. – Say it again. – You’re gonna live.

[Knocking on door]

[Somber music]

– What’s wrong? – They can’t find spencer.

[Wind blowing] – The wsb doesn’t mess around, huh? It feels like they got this place set up in seconds.

[Sighs] Don’t worry, ace. They’re gonna find your big brother. They have to. Any word on spencer?

[Dramatic music]


This is where you get to say “I told you so.” – What, me? No, no, never. – What you never did was give up hope or stop believing we’d get a miracle. And it worked. Our miracle’s on its way. – Now you’re the miracle, willow. And you fought so hard to hold on. And now we get to spend the rest of our lives together. Actually, a fact that we get to properly celebrate in paris. – Paris? – Yeah. Remember? Before the whole nightmare began, we were planning a trip to paris. – I couldn’t find my passport. That’s what started the search for my birth certificate in the first place. Wow. It feels like a lifetime ago. – So when you’ve recovered from your transplant and you’re up for travel, our first stop will be paris. – How is that french coming along? As I recall, you were working pretty hard on it. – Oui, oui, mademoiselle. – [Laughs] So you’re in the exact same spot? – Pretty much. Yeah. – [Laughs]

[Sighs] You and me in the city of lights. I can just picture it. – Well, even better, we’re gonna live it.

– So I guess we’re done. – You know what, diane? You have been my and carly’s lawyer through two divorces and one remarriage. – And? – Don’t you think it’s a little too late to be a stickler for rules? – Sonny, I was born a stickler. It’s the knowledge of those rules and the adherence to them that gives me the power to maneuver within the legal system. – You can maneuver all you want. I just want to know what carly is up against, and how do we get her out of it. – Can I ask you a question? – Shoot. – Why do you care? – Why do you think my dad is the one who got you released? – Because the sec wants drew’s location. And he’s magically located on a flight manifest from san diego to hawaii? – Yeah. Yeah. He was actually in greenland on that rescue mission. – Yeah. Well, someone sent the feds on a wild goose chase to buy drew more time. We both know it was sonny. – You were the officiant at the wedding. – I was. – So any details you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear them. – Well, sonny didn’t tell you about the ceremony? – Oh, yeah. He did. But you know how guys are. I asked him about the flowers and the dress, and he said they were nice.

[Chuckles] – Nice? Well, that’s–

[Laughs] That’s an understatement. – It’s what I was imagining. – You know, willow, she was a vision. – She was? – Yeah. Come here. Her dress was understated, but very elegant. – Yeah, just like her. – Just like her. And the bouquet of flowers was just beautiful. – What about the kids? – Oh, the kids.

[Chuckles] Wiley was the cutest ring bearer you would ever see. – So proud! – So proud. And–and avery and donna, they were the most amazing flower girls. And they had these flower crowns on their head. – Oh, donna loves a good crown. – Yeah. And the vows, they were… heartfelt. – Was it sad? – Sad? No, no. If anything, I would say that it was real. I think it was– it was hopeful. I mean, you’ve never seen two people more in love. And I would– I would think that michael and willow would both say that the wedding was perfect. Until, of course, the sec showed up and ruined it. – So spencer? – [Sighs] Trina called me from a wsb satellite phone. – From greenland? – Mm-hmm. – How was that connection? – About as good as you would imagine. We only talked for a minute, but she said everyone’s safe. But the haunted star exploded and they can’t find spencer. – Was he on board at the time of the explosion? – It’s unclear. They’re still searching for him. I could just hear it in her voice. I mean, she’s so terrified that he’s dead. – When a buddy’s missing, we don’t say out loud if we think they’re gone. It’s like a–a superstition. – Why? Because then it’ll make it true? But what if it is?

[Tense music] – I’m sorry, trina. There’s no sign of spencer. – I’ll be back. – Sit down. Let me tell you everything I know.

– How are you feeling? – I’m feeling better. Thank you. Say what you will about liesl, but she was able to outmaneuver my father and get me the cure. She saved my life. – Thank goodness. That’s–that’s amazing. Um, is there any update on the haunted star? – Wsb is searching the wreckage and all the nearby shoreline. Anna devane is in london meeting with the director, and senior officials, and a number of disgruntled diplomats who want to know of victor cassadine’s affiliation with the bureau. Curtis is being debriefed. And as soon as that’s finished, there’s a plane waiting to take us all home. – What? No! No, I’m not leaving without spencer! He’s still out there. I can feel it! – We’ve recovered a body from the wreckage.


Uh, look. Things have been strained between you and my father since even before your divorce, right? – Things have been strained since sonny came back from nixon falls. – Right. Ok. Let’s not re-litigate who did what to who and why. But bottom line is, you expected him, what, to step back and let you handle your own problems? – Something like that. Look, sonny doing what he did last night, you know, that just kind of showed me that sonny may be different in many respects. But at his core, he’s still the man he’s always been. – I–I heard carly had some trouble after the wedding. – Well, whoever decided to tip off the sec has the most heartless timing. – No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind. 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 – at least the ceremony was over, and michael and willow were officially husband and wife by the time the feds showed up. – Was willow really upset? – Um, I mean, how could she not be? – Your most recent divorce, while legally straightforward, was… [Chuckles] Acrimonious, to put it mildly. – I’ll give you that. – When carly severed ties, she meant it. She waived her right to millions of dollars in shared assets. All she wanted, all she would accept, was her home and joint custody of donna. – You just answered your own question. – How so? – Carly and I share donna. She is donna’s mother. You think I’m gonna allow donna’s mother to go to prison? – So all this is being done for donna? – Yeah. – Well, then, I got to hand it to you. I’m very impressed, you know, considering the temptation. Because don’t tell me you haven’t thought about it. Come on, sonny. If carly goes to prison, you now have sole custody of donna. Not only that, but you can share her with nina.

[Dramatic music]

[Monitor beeping] – Is there an eta on drew and liesl? – Um, they are still en route, but they will be here at some point today. Actually, in the meantime, though, how about we look at some potential accommodations in paris? So what do you think, how about a five-star hotel, where all of our needs are taken care of? Or we can do the whole authentic parisian route and rent an apartment. Let’s see. – Michael? – Yeah? – Do you still have the footage on there that incriminates your father? – I do. – But have you turned it over to the fbi? – No, not yet. – Good. I want you to delete it.

[Tense music] – [Sighs heavily] Oh, it’s not him. It’s not him. It’s not him. It’s not him.

Ah!

It’s not him. It’s not spencer! He could still be alive!


I love nina. – That much is apparent. – And you know I’m thrilled that the– nina and my girls have a relationship. But for me to be thinking about that we’re gonna raise donna, that’s a nonstarter. – Because carly is not going to prison? – Well, that’s why you’re here, so we can strategize and figure out how we can ensure that. Are you done poking around in my personal life? – [Laughs] Ok. I can talk about carly’s case in the hypothetical. How’s that? – I’ll take it. – Ok. Hypothetically speaking, the sec is putting together a strong case against carly. – How strong? – It is my belief that the sec can prove insider trading. And all of that is to say that if the case goes to trial, carly will lose. – Well, the case can’t go to trial. Can it? – I really hate that my family’s divided. But I won’t pretend to be ok with sonny’s choices. I mean… – I–I–I get that. – Yeah. I mean, specifically the way he sided with nina, going after michael and willow– I know, I know. You don’t want to get into it, right? We don’t want to talk about that. – Look, everything went downhill pretty much from the visitation hearing, right? – Right, and then I didn’t tell willow that nina was her mother. And sonny got all upset about that. – Well, that’s understandable. Regardless of how you feel about nina, sonny cares about her. And if she’s hurting, then he’s gonna be hurting, too. – She’s hurting. Yeah, ok. Well, sonny and i are pretty far apart. But when I realized he was the one that helped me last night… I wasn’t really surprised. – Willow was worried sick about carly, but not only for michael’s sake. But willow and carly forged a relationship. Carly’s become a friend, a mentor. – Carly’s become the mother that willow has never had. – Willow, I went through a lot of trouble. And somebody in particular took a lot of risk to get this footage. – I understand. – I mean, this isn’t doctored. This isn’t a setup. It’s–it’s–you know, it’s proof that my father was involved in an illegal arms deal, a violation of federal laws. Why shouldn’t he be brought to justice? – Because it will hurt a lot of people you love, specifically your little sisters. – Yeah, I– I thought about that. – Have you, really? What will avery and donna do if their father is in prison, especially if carly’s there, too? Avery will have ava, but donna will have no one. – That’s not gonna happen. – You don’t know that. – But I– I will move heaven and earth to ensure that my mom does not go down to insider trading charges. Donna will not be alone, ok? Not for anything. If sonny’s in prison, my sisters are gonna be a lot safer. – You truly think they’re in danger? – Everybody in sonny’s orbit is.

[Sighs] And, yes, I know that my father, he does everything in his power to protect his family. And more often than not, he’s successful. But even if donna and avery are physically safe, eventually, they’re gonna find out that their father– – who they love. – Is breaking the law, and he’s doing things that they have to pretend they don’t– they don’t see or hear. – They’ll become complicit in sonny’s way of life. – Just like it was with morgan and I. And I don’t want that for my sisters. – Ok. Those are all valid points. – Ok. I’m sensing a but here. – But if you turn sonny in, donna and avery don’t only lose their father. They lose you, too.

[Tense music]

– I’ve known spencer for such a long time. And for most of that time, we were fighting.

[Chuckles] – About what? – Everything. He was… an entitled, spoiled kid who liked things his way. – No wonder you clashed. You were two of a kind. Kidding. – Excuse me? – Kidding. I’m kidding. – I will admit, I was indulged as a kid and I liked things my way. And I still do. But at my worst, I was maybe a seven. – Ok. And spencer? – Off the charts. – [Chuckles] But you liked him. – Yeah, I couldn’t help it. When spencer wasn’t spencer, he was… fun. He kept things entertaining. – I could see that. – I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that that funny, infuriating kid I grew up with could be gone.

[Somber music]

– I knew it. I knew it. Ok. I knew spencer was still alive. Can I tell you something about your big brother? He can be a real pain in the a–

[Laughs] Butt. But he’s definitely worth it.

My only wish for this christmas is to wake up and have these last few days just be a bad dream. – The past few years for me. I would change everything, except coming back to port charles, because then I wouldn’t have met you. I’d ask if you’re stalking me, except I’m happy to see you. – Here for me? – Always. And the only thing that I know for sure is that I want you in my life. – I mean, I don’t know who I am anymore! – I know who you are. You’re the sweetest, smartest, and bravest person who I know. Will you promise me that you’ll be careful? – Of course I will. – I can’t stand to lose you, too. – You can’t get rid of me if you try. Definitely.


[Tense music] – [Exhales sharply] I’m standing here, wondering what I’m supposed to say to you. A word of regret? Some wish that things could have been different between us? Nah, I don’t think so. You always told me that you watched over me from afar while I was young. I’m grateful– grateful you stayed away. I was a full-grown man by the time I learned I was your son, and I’m grateful– grateful I wasn’t raised by you. Victor, I’m grateful for the family name, which, as of today, is no longer yours. It’s mine. And I’ll make sure that it’s one that future generations of cassadines can be proud of. But mostly, I’m grateful I never have to think of you again, and that this is the last time I say… goodbye, father.

[Dramatic music]

– Tony and I have always come through for each other. – Even when you can’t stand each other. – It’s comforting to know that that hasn’t changed, that I can count on sonny if I need him. – It still boggles my mind. – Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Which part? – The whole thing! I mean, willow’s devotion to carly, even though carly withheld information that could have spared willow this entire ordeal– I mean, think about it. If carly would have told willow and I the truth, that we were mother and daughter, we could have started testing for donors when she was diagnosed with leukemia. And then my aunt liesl would have been identified as a match months ago. And, willow, she wouldn’t be on death’s door. – Ok. Listen, I understand that– that you see it that way, but willow doesn’T. I mean, in–in willow’s eyes, carly has been nothing but kind, and loving, and supportive. She accepts her just as she is. – And I haven’t? – From willow’s perspective, no. – I made mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes.

But I am still willow’s mother. – Sometimes knowing that, it makes things worse. – If you turn sonny in and he gets arrested, are you planning to hide your involvement? – No, no. I’m not a hypocrite. I’m gonna tell sonny and my family that I was responsible. Yeah. – That’s what I thought, and that’s exactly why you can’t do it. Because when sonny gets sent to prison, your siblings are going to blame you and hate you for it. All right, maybe not dante. He understands the complexity of the situation. But christina? – Yeah. Christina adores our dad. He can do no wrong, as far as she’s concerned. – And then avery and donna, all they’ll understand is that daddy’s gone and it’s your fault. At best, they’ll be conflicted and confused. And at worst, they’ll turn away from you. Michael, that can’t happen. Those little girls need you too much. Your whole family does. – At this point, no charges have been filed. No arrests have been made. Right? – Because the feds want to wait to move forward until they have had a chance to talk to drew. – Right, so there’s still an opportunity to make this go away. I’ll–I’ll–you know, I’ll put out some feelers and I’ll contact some and people and I’ll do whatever I’ve got to do. – You have contacts with the ability to suppress a federal case? – Well, it’s not a case yet. We’re still in the preliminary investigation stage. Right? – Ok. So you think that, you know, with just the right amount of pressure the feds will just say, forget it. We’ll make this go away. – It’s possible. – It’s not possible– – why? – Sonny, because it’s way too late for that! The feds were acting on a tip from a legitimate source. And now they have uncovered evidence to corroborate the allegations. You can’t walk that back. – You do if you discredit the source. – Well, of course, but we don’t know who the source is. – So let’s find out.


Look, whatever strings that sonny had to pull on my behalf, I don’t expect that from you. But if you have any information you can share, that would be great. – Well, I don’t have the sec’s notes or know what evidence they have, so I can’t say anything with certainty. – But if you had to guess? – Well, if I had to guess, they’re moving pretty fast. I’d say maybe they got a case. – Oh, man. All right, well, I guess I need to talk to diane and hope that she can beat this thing. – Well, you know, for the record, I– I hope she can, too. And if there’s anything I can do legally, I’d be happy to help. – Thanks. – When I found out that alexis was my mother, let’s just say it wasn’t welcomed news. – Oh, you and alexis, you didn’t get along? – No. No, not–not at all. In fact, I resented the implication that just because we were related, that I had to instantly love her. – Well, you love each other now. How did you get there? – Mm. Time. Shared experience. A lot of trial and error for alexis and me to form that mother-daughter bond. – Time might not be something that willow and i will ever have. – I bet you carly could help you with that. – We talked about this when I suggested you invite sonny to the wedding. – Yes, I remember. – And do you remember what you said? – Yeah, that donna and avery are more important than anything going on between me and my father. – Has that changed? – No. No, it hasn’t, just the opposite. I mean, can’t you see? I–I’m doing this for them, my sisters, to protect them. – And I can understand the argument that they’re better off without sonny, but you will never convince me that they’re better off without you. They count on you, michael. – Yeah. I–I’m not going anywhere. – Physically, maybe. But in order to lean on you, your sisters need to trust you. They need to know that you would never do anything to hurt them. – I wouldn’T. – And no matter how you look at it, sending their father away will hurt them. Not only that, it will draw a line in the sand that can never be erased by making donna and avery feel that by loving sonny, they’re betraying you. Don’t do that to them. Don’t make them choose between you and their father. – Sonny, you cannot compel the sec to reveal the source of their tip. – So this person screws over carly and drew and just gets off scott-free? – Ok. The bigger problem is the timeline and the corroborating evidence. Carly made a substantial purchase of aurora stock right before the proposed merger with elq. She drove the stock price up. And had the merger gone through, she would have made a fortune. – But it didn’t go through. – Doesn’t matter. Carly was in possession of privileged information, thanks to her personal relationship with drew. And that can be corroborated. And that is the textbook definition of insider trading. – I don’t see how it benefits the sec to take carly down. She lost a lot of money with the deal, and she’s not like a hedge fund manager or a corporate ceo. But drew is. – Thank you for listening. I know you don’t exactly have fond memories of spencer. – [Chuckles] We couldn’t stand each other. But I understand there’s a side of him that I didn’t get to see. – God, are we really talking about him in past tense? – Tell me about when he came back. – To port charles? – Yeah. – Oh, he was a real peach.

[Chuckles] No. He was… cynical and bitter, almost willfully shallow. He had put up this wall around him. Trina was able to break through it. – Brave girl. – Right? Trina saw another version of spencer. She gave him chance after chance. She believed in him, so much so that she followed him onto the haunted star. And now we’re here. She’s gonna be so devastated if he’s really gone. And I just can’t help thinking, why do I get to be the lucky one? – It’s time to go. – Where? – Mr. Ashford has been debriefed and is waiting on the plane. – We’ve been cleared to leave for port charles. – We can’t just take off without spencer! – [Sighs] Ms. Robinson, the odds that your friend– – we searched the wreckage. – Then search it again. – There are no survivors. There are just bodies waiting– – no. – To be identified. – No, you’re wrong. You’re wrong! Spencer’s alive. They have to keep looking for him! – Of course, the bureau will keep looking. – Good. Then we’ll wait. – Trina, you need to take ace back to his mother. Your loved ones are waiting for you as well. – I can’t leave. I can’t leave him. He made it. I would feel it if he didn’T. Spencer’s alive. – There’s nothing more to do here. It’s time to go home.

[Somber music]


Carly would never help me. – But have you ever asked? I mean, instead of constantly being on the defensive and going tit for tat over who’s more wrong, have you ever thought about just, like, stepping back and saying, “I’m sorry. I need your help”? I don’t know. It’s just my opinion, but good luck.

[Somber music]

– Are those sec guys still there? No, huh? Any idea where they went? All right. Thanks. Yeah. – Hello. – Hello. Mm. – Who were you talking to? – The other woman. – Oh. What? Aka, the station? – Yeah, I’m helping carly out with something. – That’s nice of you. – Yeah, it is nice. Well, I’m a nice guy. You know, I mean, her and my dad may be at odds. But family’s family, you know? – I love that. – I love you.

[Gentle music]

– You also need to consider your own children. Don’t you want wiley and amelia to grow up with donna and avery? – Of course I do. – Then don’t create a rift between them. I’m not asking you to forgive sonny or even make peace, but I grew up without a family, which makes me recognize how precious ours is. And I realize that might make me sound hypocritical, given my stance on nina– – no, the situations are completely different. – Nina and I have never had a relationship. Not a good one, anyway. Us being estranged doesn’t affect anyone. There’s no collateral damage. But with you and sonny, it affects everyone you love. And I truly believe that keeping our family whole is more important than bringing sonny to justice.

[Knocking on door] – I have good news. Drew cain and dr. Obrecht just landed and are on their way to gh. – Really? – Time to get you prepped for the first step of the transplant. – It’s time to save your life. – The feds are after drew. Carly’s the leverage. – Well, that would explain why they were so willing to release her last night, once they got a location on drew, who, let us not forget, is the ceo and major shareholder of aurora. You know, he’s the one who broke confidentiality. He’s the one who violated the sec rules when he told carly about the merger in the first place. – You think–you think they’re going to offer carly a– a deal to give up drew? – If they do, do you think she’ll take it? – One step at a time. First things first. Let’s wait to see if that deal is on the table. – Once again, sonny, I am representing carly, not you. – [Scoffs] Anything I do is in carly’s best interest. – I have to wonder. If the situation were reversed and you were the one facing federal charges, do you think carly would be doing all this for you? – No doubt. – Trina and I both took chances this year. Big ones. Trina fell for spencer. – And? – Oh, you’re gonna make me say it? – Oh, yes, ma’am. – Then I fell for you. – I think that makes me the lucky one. – I think that makes us both lucky. And once michael turns in the evidence that you got him against sonny, then he’ll be arrested. – We both know that’s not gonna happen overnight. And I doubt michael is thinking about anything except willow undergoing her transplant. – Well, I will wait as long as it takes. Because at the end of it, you’ll be free. And then we can finally figure out what we mean to each other out in the real world. – Oh, out in the wild? – Yeah. – [Laughs] – A chance that trina and spencer never will.

[Somber music]

– Huh? Spencer? Spencer! Spencer! – Oh! Oh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Hope, I know what I saw. You, caressing thomas’ hands, staring into his eyes, saying all the things that you were saying. You have feelings for him. Hope, tell me the truth. Now.

Thomas: There’s no way.

Ridge: No way what, thomas?

Waitress: Your brother said to give this to you.

[ Scoffs ]

Liam: Of course he did. Thank you.

Taylor: I called your office, and they said you would be here. May I join you?

Liam: I… hi. Yes. Yes. Uh, please, please sit. Hi. What’s up, taylor?

Taylor: I just wanted to speak to you. About… your wife and my son.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: Uh, I feel like you might want to talk to me about hope and thomas working together.

Taylor: Oh, you are correct.

Liam: Ah.

Taylor: You’ve had a lot of strong objections.

Liam: I… I have. Yeah. But you already know what they are. I mean, I’m just– I’m concerned that thomas is gonna do what he’s already done–

Taylor: He won’T.

Liam: Okay. Listen–

Taylor: Thomas is not gonna cross any lines. And… I’m not just saying that because he’s my son. I’m saying that because I know he won’T. He’s not gonna throw away all the work he’s done and risk his career and family… for something that can never be.

Ridge: Something wrong?

Thomas: No, it’s just, um…

Ridge: Just talking to yourself.

Thomas: I was thinking out loud.

Ridge: Thinking out loud about what?

Thomas: This, uh, the sketch is just, like… there’s something off about it.

Ridge: Mm. That’s what it’s about?

Thomas: Yeah, I appreciate your concern. But, um…

Ridge: But what?

Thomas: You know what? Um… maybe it would be good to talk about it. And I don’t want to fall back into old patterns.

[ Clearing throat ] It’s– it’s about hope.

Steffy: My brother is doing everything he possibly can to redeem himself. Not only here at work, but with douglas. And the rest of the family.

Hope: No, I know. I– I know.

Steffy: Do you know that? Because what I just saw, was you flirting with thomas. And I know that sounds so crazy because thomas is the one we’re supposed to be worried about. Not you. Not sweet hope. Hope who never misbehaves. But you are now. Because I saw you flirting with my brother. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Liam: You’ve always had a lot of faith in thomas, haven’t you?

Taylor: Are you– are you saying I shouldn’t have?

Liam: No, I’m not saying that. I’M… what am I saying? I guess I just– I think he’s lucky to have a parent who believes in him as much as you do.

Taylor: I’m lucky to have thomas as a son. And yes, I do believe in him. But if he was playing as I–

Liam: Which, he’s done before.

Taylor: Yeah, he has. Boy, he was good at it, wasn’t he? And as good as he was at it, I am now better at spotting his tells. And he is– he is still making progress with them.

Liam: I mean, yeah, that’s good. That– that is good. That’s a good thing. But can we– elephant in the room? Taylor, you’re a psychiatrist. But in this context you’re not just a psychiatrist. You’re also thomas’ mother. So, how–

Taylor: How could i be unbiased?

Liam: Yes.

Taylor: That is– that is a fair question. You know, um, I wouldn’t be fighting so hard for thomas if I wasn’t absolutely certain he’d changed. You know, I– I have a lot more invested in thomas getting better than you do. He’s my son.

[ Stammering ] I just want the best for him. So– so being biased in this situation, it would be the worst possible thing for him. And for hope.

Ridge: So this is about hope. What about her?

Thomas: It’s about hope. It’s about, uh, hope for the future. And… have you seen the preorder numbers?

Ridge: I have not.

Thomas: Okay. Well. They came in.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: And… let me see. Here you go. They exceeded our expectations.

Ridge: Well, this is amazing. You should be really happy.

Thomas: Well, hope is ecstatic.

Ridge: And she should be happy too, because her line’s been struggling a little bit.

Thomas: Uh, well, you know, a lot has changed since then.

Ridge: Really? The only thing that’s changed is she has a new lead designer.

Thomas: Yeah. And I– I’m really lucky to be here.

Ridge: Luck has nothing to do with it. You did the work. You worked on yourself. You worked on your craft, and… here we are. Son, I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You should be proud of hope too.

Ridge: Okay. I’m so proud of her too. She did what she did to save her line. She did everything she had to.

Thomas: It’s– it’s not just that, though. It’s not just her doing what she had to. Like, she, she… after everything I did, she… was able to forgive me and that’S…

Ridge: That’s what she does. She gives second chances. It’s nice.

Thomas: It’s not just what someone does. This is… after everything I did, that’s a new level of forgiveness. And I, I don’t know. Look, I… me being back, it can affect her marriage with liam.

Ridge: I think they’re fine.

Thomas: Maybe they are, but liam doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t have any reason–

Ridge: What are you doing right now? What is this? You should be over the moon. You just showed me these numbers. You should be doing backflips. Instead, you’re standing here doing… this. What’s going on?

[ Thomas grunts ]

Hope: Misbehaving? Steffy, this– this is an overreaction. You are reading too much into what you saw.

Steffy: Am I? I want to believe that’s the case.

Hope: It is.

Steffy: I hope to god it is. I hope you’re being honest with me and yourself. Thomas has been acting like a gentleman. He has been behaving himself. He has not crossed any lines with you. He is making strides in his life.

Hope: I know that. I have seen the work that he has done. I believe that he is a changed man.

Steffy: Yeah, he’s been fighting those demons and he’s winning. Why can’t you be sensitive to that?

Hope: I am. I am proud of him, steffy.

Steffy: Really? Because what I just walked in on, what I just saw, was you laying it on thick. You flirting with my brother. Saying all the things that you were saying, looking into his eyes, and caressing his hands. You were flirting with him. Wow, I can’t even believe I am saying this. Are you actually turning into your mother? My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Thomas: Has anyone ever told you you worry too much?

Ridge: All the time. I’m not worried about you. Not anymore.

Thomas: Really? You mean that?

Ridge: Oh, I mean that. It’s who you are. You, you did it. You fixed whatever the problem was. And you’re back. You’re a great father to your son. Your skills are improving all the time. And I don’t know that I’ve said it, and I’m gonna say it again. I’m gonna keep repeating it. I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You know I’m actually kind of proud of me too.

Ridge: Good! You should be! Because you earned this.

[ Sighs ] All right. If you ever need anybody, I hope you know this. If you ever need to talk to someone about anything, I’m here. I’ll listen. And I will give advice. If you ask for it.

Thomas: I, I appreciate that. I, um, I’ll keep that in mind.

Ridge: So where is hope? I want to congratulate her too.

Thomas: She’s over in the design office.

Ridge: She has to be so impressed with you.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, dad, um… I– I’m glad that hope has brought herself to forgiving me and, and the rest of the family is moving in that direction, but… it means the world to me that you are willing to give me another chance, and– and forgive me. And… I promise, I know that I’ve– I’ve done some dark things in the past, but, um… I am never gonna become that person again. You have my word.

Liam: I do actually appreciate your concern for hope. I do.

Taylor: Well, I appreciate hope’s capacity for forgiveness. She didn’t have to allow thomas to come back to be her lead designer, but she did.

Liam: Yeah. But she also didn’t forget about all the things that he’s done in the past, like none of us have.

Taylor: No, but… she was willing to trust that thomas wouldn’t revert to his old ways. And he hasn’T.

Liam: Yet. That we know of. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t or couldn’T. And if that does happen–

Taylor: If that happens, hope is gonna put a stop to it, and thomas will be gone. And thomas knows that. He could lose everything, and– and everyone that he loves. His career, everything. He’s not gonna allow that.

Liam: What if it’s not up to him, taylor? What if– what if the impulse is just too strong? What if he literally cannot help himself?

Taylor: What if he can? Therapy is giving him incredible coping skills. He is– he is healing through the very things that cause the triggers. And now he’s able to spot them as soon as they come up. Come on, liam. That is huge. Can you not see that?

Liam: Here’s what I see. I see, and I mean this, that the people who love him, are invested in his growth. And that’s a good thing. It means you and ridge and steffy all have confidence in him. And that’s your job. But my job is to stay on guard.

Taylor: Okay. But remember, hope is smart. Give her some credit. And try to– just try to believe that I– I would never want hope and thomas working so closely together if I wasn’t absolutely certain that thomas… wasn’t that old thomas.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: You sound like steffy, actually. She said the same thing to me. She’s been trying to drill into my head that… that I have nothing to worry about when it comes to her brother and hope.

[ Sardonic chuckle ]

Steffy: You’re really turning into your mom.

Hope: What? No. No, steffy. And I think you’re making way too much of this.

Steffy: I know what I saw.

Hope: We were excited about the numbers. We were celebrating. And we did get caught up in the moment, steffy. But I love liam. My family and my marriage mean everything to me. Please do not interfere with that.

Steffy: I’m not. But if you’re developing feelings for my brother, I’m gonna have an issue with this.

Hope: Steffy, can you please just try to listen to me and see it from my point of view? Thomas and i have been working really hard on this line together. We have been spending a lot of hours together. We also share a son together. But that is it. That is where it stops. Liam is my husband. And I love him and I am committed to him. (Buzz) morning!

Liam: Well, steffy is right. But then again, steffy is always right. And don’t you forget it.

[ Liam chuckles ] Come on, if you could just..

Liam: Have the kind of faith in your son that you do?

Taylor: Well, I– I would never expect you to do that. No.

[ Chuckles ] I’m just asking for… just a modicum of faith. You know? Thomas can’t– can’t change what he did. But he can change the way that he does things from now on, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. The efforts he’s making are real. And hope sees that every day, we all do. Present company excluded. So what do you say? Think you can give him just a little benefit of the doubt?

[ Liam groaning ]

Liam: I want to believe you, taylor, for all our sakes. Especially hope’S. She’S… she’s a good person, you know? She’s– she’s kind, and compassionate and sincere.

Taylor: And smart.

Liam: And smart. Yes.

Taylor: Yes. And she forgave thomas. But she also put very firm boundaries in place. You have nothing to worry about, liam.

Hope: Working with you this time around, it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Steffy: I want to believe you, hope. I never questioned your love for liam.

Hope: Then don’t start now.

Steffy: I have spoken to him. You asked me to do that, remember? He loves you so much.

Hope: Steffy, I know that.

Steffy: He’s been concerned about you and thomas. He trusts you. He just doesn’t trust thomas. But I think you’re the one he needs to be concerned about.

Hope: No, steffy. I am completely devoted to liam.

Steffy: And he is completely devoted to you. Do you realize how lucky you are? Liam is completely supportive and understanding. But if he were to walk in on what I just did, he would have freaked out.

Hope: Steffy, please… please don’t say a word to liam.

[ Steffy scoffs ] He’s already sensitive enough about thomas and me working together, and I swear to you, there is nothing going on between the two of us.

Steffy: Do you miss it?

Hope: Miss what?

Steffy: His affection for you.

Hope: How could you even ask such a thing? No. No, steffy. I love my husband. I love my family. They mean everything to me. So, please… don’t overreact to a situation that you are misunderstanding. Please do not tell anyone about this. I swear to you. There is– there’s nothing going on.

Steffy: Okay. So you’re telling me the truth. You have no feelings for thomas. None at all.

Hope: No.

Steffy: Good. Because you can’t be leading him on. Reigniting his obsession with you. I’m serious, hope. Do not lead thomas on. Or undermine the progrs my brother has made. I’ll be watching you.

Daytime Soap Opera Short Recaps

Recap written by Terry

Malcolm surprised everyone by appearing at the tribute for Neil at the jazz lounge named in Neil’s honor. Devon, in a touching moment, announced he was changing his name to Devon Winters. (Perhaps Devon will also keep his mother’s name, Hamilton, to become Devon Hamilton Winters, reflecting the name of the business he and Neil started?)

Victor, who hired Neil fresh out of Harvard, paid tribute to him, noting that Neil was one of the few people Victor respected and trusted. Seeing Abby with Devon pleased Victor, who said he was proud to have Devon becoming one of the family.

Devon’s mother, Harmony, credited Tucker for arranging for her to attend the event. That scored points with Devon, but Ashley barely withheld her fury, seeing the woman Tucker cheated with while she and Tucker were married. Harmony said she was happy that Tucker and Ashley found their way back to each other other, but Ashley still seethed. Tucker, of course, was delighted.

At the Abbott house, Jack and Kyle welcomed home Diane, who was out of prison on bond and wearing an ankle monitor. Diane’s happiness was dampened when Jack told her Ashley had moved Tucker into the Abbott home. Summer was furious when she walked in to see Diane. Soon after, Summer received a text from Daniel, summoning her to Chancellor Park.

Daniel, who confided to Lily that his conscience troubled him about something, later told Summer that he could no longer keep the secret that Phyllis is alive. He hated himself because people were offering condolences and asking how he and Summer were doing, and there was this big fat lie hanging over his head. He told Summer that they needed to tell everybody that Phyllis is alive and bring her home. Summer appeared terrified and desperate. Meanwhile, Kyle is searching for his wife and might find her, overhearing the conversation.

Brooke: [ Sighs ] I– i haven’t been able to wipe this smile off my face since R.J. Came home.

Ridge: I know the feeling.

Brooke: I don’t think I let myself really feel how much I missed him.

Ridge: I get that, ’cause it, uh, it hurts too much, doesn’t it? But you gotta let ’em go. Let them be who they are.

Brooke: As opposed to who you want them to be, right? I can’t believe you’re actually saying that.

Ridge: I can’t believe you’re saying that. All I did was nudge him in what I think is the right direction. I got him to put pencil to paper, and he’s, uh– he’s talented.

Brooke: Show me. Oh! Uh-huh. That’s, uh– wow!

[ Chuckles ]

Ridge: What, you don’t think it looks like me?

Brooke: Uh, let’s see. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, it does, it looks just like you. That’s, uh– that’s what’s so funny.

[ Chuckles]

[ Sighs ] Mm.

Liam: So, I don’t know. I mean, assuming dad signs off on it, I think we could– we could finalize the deal in a matter of days.

Wyatt: Really? Yes! See? This is what I’m talking about. See how productive we can be when you actually show up to meetings?

Liam: Oh, my god. You’re just– you’re– you’re gonna hold that over my head forever. You’re just– okay, fine.

Wyatt: Pretty much, yeah.

Liam: I’m ready for it. No, it’s great. It’s great.

Wyatt: Hey, I do have a question for you, though.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What is happening with the thomas and hope situation? Any updates?

Thomas: Okay, so what do you think? Should we take the hemline up a little bit or do you wanna leave it where it is?

Hope: You know what? I think in order to show off the shoes, we should bring up the hemline in the front just a little.

Thomas: Of course, that was, um… that was my instinct as well.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: Of course it was.

[ Chuckles ]

Petra: There’s no doubt, you two make magic together.

Steffy: I agree. Hope and thomas are great business partners.

Wyatt: Look, obviously, I know you’ve been struggling with the idea of hope working so closely with thomas.

Liam: Oh, I’m struggling? Have I been struggling? Like I’ve been struggling in school or like I struggle for the driver’s test–

Wyatt: I know.

Liam: That’s very diplomatic of you. I appreciate that.

Wyatt: I’m just wondering, is anything concerning happened?

Liam: Uh, concerning? Did–

Wyatt: Yes.

Liam: Not technically, but that doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be something. I mean, this is how thomas works, right? It’s like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And then, oh my god, he was obsessed with hope the whole time, right? I just don’t– I don’t want her and douglas dealing with that again.

Wyatt: I feel for you, man. I’m– I’m sorry.

Liam: Well, don’t, because that’s who hope is and she’s very trusting and that’s one of the things I admire about her, and paradoxically, it also creates a huge blind spot, which is why I’m keeping my eyes peeled in her stead. Uh, make sure nobody takes advantage of it, including and especially “tom*S.”

Brooke: I– I must say, R.J. Really has talent. I mean, this is incredible. Look at how he’s captured your– your mannerisms. Your essence. Look at the hair! Oh, my gosh– no, no.

[ Laughing ] The hands. The hands!

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Taylor: Okay, okay, what is so funny?

Brooke: Oh, my gosh. Okay. I guess you better be careful what you wish for. Because ridge took a pencil and put it in R.J.’S hand, was hoping that he would deliver a brilliant design, and voila.

[ Laughing]

Taylor: Oh, it is– it is the spitting image.

Ridge: What are you laughing at? Why are you piling on? What– what’s happening?

Taylor: Because it’s so easy.

Brooke: Yes, it is.

Ridge: Okay well, I don’t even know why you’re here. Looking for thomas? He’s in a meeting with hope and steffy.

Taylor: I am actually looking for thomas, but okay, fine. I– I– I love that everyone is getting along. I– I love it. The three of us, our daughters. You know what? We’re finally acting like the extended family we should have been all along.

Brooke: Mm.

Taylor: Right?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: I don’t know. I still think maybe we should raise the waistline a little bit, you know, and make it more marketable to a broader audience?

Thomas: Yeah. Create a better silhouette. Okay. Yeah, great. Petra, thank you so much. You have been wonderful as usual.

Petra: You should see me after work. Really, though. Any time.

Thomas: I’ll remember that.

[ Hope clearing throat ]

Steffy: Well, congratulations, both of you. Looks like hope for the future is back on track. Hopefully that will be reflected when the preorders are released today.

Hope: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I’m kinda nervous about that.

Thomas: Not me. We’re gonna kill it.

Hope: Well, of course you aren’t, you weren’t here when hope for the future was in a downward spiral. And believe me when I tell you, it was not fun. But luckily you’re back now. You’ve given new life to the line and I couldn’t be more grateful. (Buzz) morning!

Wyatt: I mean, I gotta hand it to him. Deacon has done a great job with this place. I mean, this pizza is phenomenal.

Liam: Totally. And vegetarian.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: It’s still good. Right?

Wyatt: All right, it’s okay.

Liam: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: I think deacon’s surprising a lot of people lately.

Liam: Yeah. But not hope. Because she always believed in her dad and she’s all too happy to rub in our faces that she was right about him.

Wyatt: Yeah. Well, let’s just hope that she’s right about thomas and that he’s got a handle on things. You know what I mean? But I do think it’s a good idea to keep a watchful eye on him.

Liam: I went and talked to him.

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What did he say?

Liam: Uh, what did he say? What do you think he said? He– he admitted that he’s made mistakes in the past but he’s not that guy anymore. He’s been working on himself. He’s a changed man. He’s definitely, definitely, definitely not obsessed with hope. And I don’t have to worry. You know, it’s all that.

Wyatt: So, you believe him.

[ Liam snorts, giggles ]

Taylor: You know, this is kind of like a– a dawn of a new era. Both our families standing together, supporting each other.

Brooke: Well, what makes me happy is that our daughters followed in our footsteps and ended their rivalry. Maybe they’ll become best friends, like we are.

Taylor: Wouldn’t that be something?

Brooke: It would.

[ Chuckling]

Ridge: I guess that makes you guys trailblazers, right? Because our families are finally together and not fighting anymore.

Taylor: And you know what? I– I know that you don’t fully believe in thomas yet, but I think in time you will. He really is in a good place.

Brooke: I hope he is. For your sakes, as his parents, and for– for hope, too. She has invested a lot in thomas.

Thomas: Hope, I– I can’t tell you how much your faith and your belief in me has meant. It’s incredible. After everything that I did. I hurt you and your mom and I even brought our son into it, and it– it pains me that I did that, but I did and… you somehow were able to see past that and see a future that didn’t involve thomas becoming that person, but being a much better person, and you granted me this opportunity to come back and help design for this line, which I love so much and I know means so much to you. And I just– thank you for that.

Hope: Thomas, you have to stop thanking me. I mean, you’re doing it basically every time you put a pen to a piece of paper and create a new design. But that, that’s you. That’s all you. I mean, thomas, this collection wouldn’t be the same without you, and we know that’s the truth. Uh, look, I think those preorder numbers are in right now, so I’m gonna go check on them.

Thomas: Okay, hold on. Hold on.

[ Chuckles ] You don’t need to cross your fingers. It’s all gonna work out, I promise.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: You are just doing an amazing job, you really are. And I can see that you are turning your life around. Um…

Thomas: It seems like there’s a “but” coming.

Steffy: I just watch you and hope working together. I see how devoted you are to the success of hope for the future, and I know you’ve been focused on it for months, working with hope to save the line.

Thomas: That’s the goal.

Steffy: Yeah, but what about the personal side? I love you, thomas. So, I have to ask. Are you still fixated on hope?

[Bones cracking]

Liam: Listen, the fact of the matter is thomas has shown us all, more than once, how unstable he is. And I just– I don’t– I don’t know, I don’t want hope getting caught up in all the crazy.

Wyatt: But she’s still, like, on the lookout, right? Even though she’s given him the benefit of the doubt.

Liam: Yes. And I– I’m just– I’m just trying to practice letting that be enough. You know, let– letting her exercise her own judgment. It’s just difficult because I– I know how manipulative thomas can be, you know?

Wyatt: Not to mention the blind spot that you were talking about earlier.

Liam: There you go.

Wyatt: Look, man. I get it, all right? Hope’s your wife and your first instinct is to just protect her. Right? But I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to talk too much about thomas when you’re spending time with hope.

Liam: I will say this. Hope has been working pretty hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. Like, as– as many hours as she’s been putting in–

Wyatt: Yeah?

Liam: She’s consciously carved out time for just the two of us. Her and me, husband and wife.

Wyatt: That’s– that’s great. Love it.

Liam: It’s– it’s been really nice. I– truth is, I don’t know what I did to deserve a woman like hope.

Taylor: Well, it means a lot that you’re willing to see thomas differently. You know, he just– he just wants to make everything right.

Ridge: And I think he is, right? He’s making some really good choices. Personally and professionally. I mean, his– his designs are great. Just full of positivity, right?

Taylor: Yes. Yes. It makes me feel so proud. It makes us proud as parents. And I think in time, thomas is gonna earn your trust, too, just like he did hope’S.

Brooke: That would make me very happy. And so far so good. He seems to be making changes. Let’s just hope it sticks.

Taylor: Oh. I think it will, I really do. He’s doing the work. He healed his relationship with you. He healed his relationship with steffy. That’s a lot. And now steffy and thomas are– are back to annoying each other on a daily basis as it should be.

[ Both chuckling ]

Steffy: Look, I’m not accusing you of anything.

Thomas: I get it. I appreciate your concern.

Steffy: Really?

Thomas: Really. Look, I– I’ve been going to therapy. I’ve been working on myself and digging through the– the darkness in my past, which led to my behavior. And I’m keeping my priorities straight this time. ‘Kay?

Steffy: Yeah. It certainly seems that way.

Thomas: It is. I mean, every morning I wake up, I have all these designs that just are flooding my brain and I have to get them out onto paper. You know, that’s my focus. And then also, you know, being a great dad to douglas is the most important thing in the world and being a good son to mom and dad, and being a great brother to you. Look, I’m– I’m not thinking about hope, and honestly, if she even threw herself at me, I would say no. Not that she would ever do that.

Steffy: No, that wouldn’t happen.

Thomas: No. [ Chuckles ] That’s what I said. It’s just– just a joke.

Steffy: Too soon, bro. Too soon.

Thomas: Okay, fine, fine. It was too soon. I’m sorry. But look, I promise I have all of my priorities straight and I’m in control of my life. You got no reason to worry.

Steffy: Okay.

Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Okay, come on.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Sighs ] Thank god. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Thomas: Get the preorder numbers yet?

Hope: Yep.

Thomas: No, hope, no, no, it can’t be. Are– okay. All right. You know what? Um, I take full responsibility for everything. All right? We’ll– we’ll start over from the ground up, brand new designs.

Hope: Thomas, the numbers weren’t good.

Thomas: I’m getting that.

Hope: They were great.

Thomas: Are you– you joking?

Hope: Off the charts!

Thomas: Why would you– why would–

Hope: Exceeded our expectations! I don’t know, I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t resist.

Thomas: I’m so happy for you.

Hope: No, you should be happy for yourself. I mean, thomas, this comeback wouldn’t have happened without you.

Thomas: No, no, no, it was a team effort.

Hope: Well, yes, but you led that team, thomas. I mean, eric, zende, ridge, those– those are amazing designers, but it never was successful because no one has understood me the way that you do. I mean, working with you this time around, it’s been– it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Thomas: You’re my inspiration. You know, it’s like it’s– it’s going from your head through these hands, out into the world.

Hope: Well, thank goodness for these hands, then.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Heartbeat thudding ] And thank goodness for you. Thank you for seeing me.

[ Thudding continues ]

[ Thudding fades ]

Thomas: Yeah, I’m so excited. This– this is just the beginning for hope for the future. Yeah, I’m excited for the journey ahead.

Hope: Me, too.

Thomas: Okay, I gotta head across the hall and grab something. Congratulations.

Hope: Back at you.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: It’s been amazing.

I mean, it’s like we are

in sync on everything.

It’s been magical and now,

I mean,

there’s no limit to where we

can take hope for the future.

[ Door closes ]

Hope: Steffy. Hey, I didn’t realize you were still here.

Steffy: It looks like you were, uh, lost in thought.

Hope: Well, the preorder numbers are in.

Steffy: Yeah, I heard. I saw.

Hope: Saw?

Steffy: Look, my parents and I, we’ve been, uh, very proud of thomas. Obviously, his obsession with you led him to very dark places. But he rose above it. And we thought we could trust you and thomas to be able to work together without it having a bad effect on him.

Hope: And you’ve been right.

Steffy: Absolutely right about thomas. He’s changed. I see that. He realizes what he’s done with you was inappropriate and I know he won’t do that again. What I didn’t know, which I– I never would’ve thought, is that it would… it would be you.

Hope: Me?

Steffy: Yeah. Flirting with thomas.

Hope: What?

Steffy: I saw you, hope. You were looking right in thomas’s eyes, laying it on pretty thick.

Hope: All right, it’s not what you think–

Steffy: I know what I saw. I will not let you derail thomas.

Hope: Steffy, I would never try to–

Steffy: I can’t even believe we’re actually having this conversation. Things were going so well for all of us. Our moms are actually getting along. Thomas finally sees his full potential as a designer and a father. I will not allow you or anyone else to set him back. Do you hear me? So, I’m gonna ask you and ask you once. Do you have feelings for thomas? Hope, I want the truth. Do you have feelings for my brother?

[ Lily clears her throat ]

Neil: Ever since your mother got a promotion and I went back to work, it’s tough to catch up with you. I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like to with you.

Lily: Well, it’s okay. It seems like I haven’t had much time for myself these days too, so. School is so much harder this year.

Neil: Yeah, we all get caught up with our busy routines sometimes, don’t we?

Lily: Yeah.

Neil: Hey, you know, I was thinking–

Lily: Uh, oh. Well, I know how dangerous that can be.

Neil: Very funny, young lady.

Lily: Yeah.

Neil: What are your plans for the rest of the day?

Lily: Um, usual stuff. Nothing special.

Neil: Yeah. Nothing special. I like that, because I cleared all the work off my desk, I was hoping that we could spend the rest of the day together.

Lily: Just you and me?

Neil: Of course, you and me, bozo. What are you talking about? I figured we could go to the genoa city athletic club, get a quick workout in. And then, maybe grab a bite, a movie. How about it?

Lily: All right, let’s do it.

Neil: Okay. Come on.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Lily: What are you doing here?

Daniel: I’m coming to the event tonight. Celebration of your dad’s life.

Lily: No, daniel. You– you shouldn’t be here.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi. Mission accomplished.

Devon: Yeah, everything set?

Abby: Yes, I told the lounge exactly how he wanted everything.

Devon: Oh, perfect.

Abby: It’s gonna be a phenomenal party.

Devon: Oh, I know it’s gonna be phenomenal because all of your parties are phenomenal.

Abby: Well, this is in neil’s honor, so it has to be extra special. You sure you’re ready for all of this? I mean, I know it’s a celebration, but it’s still the anniversary of neal’s passing. So, there’s bound to be some difficult moments.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. It comes with the territory, but I’m more than ready for it. I am. I’m very happy with everything we’ve put together. I think it’s perfect exactly the way it is.

Abby: Did someone suggest otherwise?

Devon: No. But, uh, tucker came by earlier with a big idea for a tribute that he wanted to pay for and produce and announce tonight.

Abby: What kind of tribute?

Devon: It was an international jazz festival with neil’s name attached to it.

Abby: Wow.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Okay. Yeah, that’s a major overstep.

Devon: Well, it’s just his way of trying to make amends with me, which I appreciate. It’s just awkward timing.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I know.

Abby: I agree.

Devon: I did invite him to the party though.

Abby: That’s a surprise.

Devon: Yeah, I just hope he listened to me and remembers that the night is not about him. It’s about neil and nothing else.

Abby: [ Whispers] Yes.

Ashley: So, this big “surprise” you’ve got going tonight. No going back.

Tucker: No. It’s sad. You don’t have a problem with it, do you?

Ashley: Well, I would probably have handled things a little differently. I understand why you did what you did though, and I hope it works out for you the way you want it to. And that devon realizes that you’re serious about wanting to reconnect.

Tucker: Yeah, I hope so too. I just want him to be happy. What impact this will have on how he views me remains to be seen, but I think it’s worth the chance.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Chelsea: I’m curious as to why you wanted to meet. Everything all right?

Adam: It’s just peachy. Well, other than dad causing his usual drama, but, uh, it’s nothing I can’t mitigate. I, uh– I wanted to talk to you about the baby.

Chelsea: Oh? I hope everything’s going well with the pregnancy.

Adam: Yeah, sally is doing great. She, um, and our little girl.

Chelsea: Adam… you’re having a daughter.

Adam: Um, yeah, it’s– it’s– it’s incredible. It’s get, uh– getting more real by the second.

Chelsea: Yeah. I know the feeling.

Adam: Which brings me to why I’m here. Um, I think it’s time that we tell connor about the baby.

Sally: Woo. Hello to you too, baby girl.

[ Breathes deeply ] 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 would 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. 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.

[ Knock on the door ]

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Sally: Wow. I did not expect you to come by.

Nick: Yeah, I just wanted to see if you were okay.

Sally: Uh, generally speaking or?

Nick: I understand my father summoned you to meet with him. I can only imagine how it went.

Sally: It was not what I expected.

Nick: Well, if you’re up for it, I’d like to hear everything he said to you. Up at 2:00am again?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: Daniel, you really should leave. I did not think that you were gonna come here tonight.

Daniel: Why wouldn’t I?

Lily: Because this is where your mom collapsed.

Daniel: Lily, it’s fine. I can deal.

Lily: Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. You know, I can’t stay away from this place just because of a bad memory. And it’s the coolest, most inspirational place in town. I gotta be able to come here.

Lily: Yeah, I, I understand that, but maybe not tonight.

Daniel: Especially tonight. I wasn’t there four years ago for neil’s funeral. I’m just glad that I get to honor his memory tonight.

Abby: It’s very generous of you to invite tucker tonight.

Devon: Well, I just thought, what would neil do?

Abby: The classy thing.

Devon: Exactly. And plus, it seems like, uh, tucker may be sticking around town for a little longer.

Abby: Was there a chance he could be leaving?

Devon: I mean, I thought so. Maybe after I didn’t buy his company and he sold it to victor.

Abby: Oh, I’m sure my dad is very pleased with himself for getting tucker’s company.

Devon: Oh, I’m sure he is. That’s what he wanted. And then tucker said that he thought about starting fresh in a new place, but decided to stay here for me and dominic.

Abby: Hmm. Well, I’m gonna bet that he’s being sincere.

Devon: Only time will tell that.

Abby: It must mean a lot to you. You know, that he’s making an effort. Maybe he could actually step up and be a father figure. Not like neil, not even close. But maybe he does deserve a second chance.

Devon: Would be nice. And you’re not the only one who thinks that tucker is redeemable.

Abby: Oh?

Devon: Yeah. Have you talked to your mom lately?

Abby: No. I mean, she texted me that she wanted to talk to me, but I just figured I’d see her at the party tonight.

Devon: Uh. She has invited tucker to move in with her at the abbott house. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this. I just didn’t want you to get blindsided in front of everybody tonight.

Abby: Okay. Please, uh, tell me everything that you know.

Devon: He didn’t tell me any details, but I think that you should probably talk to your mom.

Abby: Oh, yeah, I intend to.

Ashley: So, when I bought your debt and then I wanted devon to buy mccall, you know, it was because I wanted to bring the two of you closer and that didn’t work out. But I just wanted to tell you that I’m really, really proud of you for taking the steps to make it happen now.

Tucker: Thank you. Your fingers crossed about tonight?

Ashley: Yeah, for both of us.

Tucker: Yeah. Any response from abby?

[ Ashley sighing ]

Ashley: No. I have all these scenarios going off in my head. You know, that she got the text, but she’s too busy or she got the text and she’s angry and–

[ Phone chiming ] Ah, finally. “At home. Come asap.”

Tucker: She knows.

Ashley: Yep. She knows. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Sally: Look, there’s no need to panic. As you can tell, I’m not drowning in a puddle of tears.

Nick: The fact that you even have to say that means I was right. He obviously gave you a hard time, which he had no business doing.

Sally: Would you mind telling me how you found out about our little heart to heart? Because I’m guessing victor did not advertise it to you, so it must have been adam?

Nick: Yeah, it was adam. He tracked me down. He thought I should know what was going on. We’re both very concerned about you, sally.

Sally: Yeah. Well, I can’t blame either of you. I’m actually surprised that you did not come storming down to society.

Nick: I wanted to. That was my first impulse, but adam advised against it.

Sally: Well, thank you both for staying out of it. You know, I– I didn’t need rescuing. I can handle victor all on my own. Although, I will admit it was definitely not the most fun conversation I’ve ever had. Your father has a real gift for intimidation. He just stares at you, and you want to run and hide. It’s like a superpower.

Nick: Did he threaten you? Go off on you?

Sally: No, it was actually all quite civil. Actually, was a little bit friendly when I first joined him.

Nick: Putting you at ease.

Sally: Yeah. But I’m not stupid. So, I stayed on my guard, and it didn’t take long for him to drop the act. I knew it was coming because he started talking about how important family was and you know, eventually he laid out his real agenda.

Nick: Which was what?

Sally: Your father will do whatever it takes to keep me away from you, adam and the rest of his precious family.

Chelsea: Obviously, we need to tell connor about the new baby at some point. Um, I’ve been wondering when that should be.

Adam: Well, I guess I picked the right time to bring it up then.

Chelsea: Is sally on board with this?

Adam: She encouraged me to share the news. Give connor some time to get used to the idea.

Chelsea: Smart thinking.

Adam: Mm-hmm. But also, she’s in her second trimester. She’s starting to show. Word is starting to spread and I sure don’t want connor to figure it out by seeing sally or finding it out from somebody else.

Chelsea: You’re absolutely right. He needs to hear it from us.

Adam: Well, good. I’m glad you agree.

Chelsea: Okay. So… how do we approach the topic? I mean, even if he’s okay with this, it’s– it’s gonna be a shock to him.

Adam: Yeah, and he’s been in such a great place. With us, at school. He’s comfortable with johnny being his brother. Um, we do not want to rock the boat.

Chelsea: So, what do you suggest?

Adam: Before I called, I remembered what you said to me when I told you that I was gonna be a dad again. You said that connor would be an amazing big brother and that this could be something really beautiful for our family.

Chelsea: And I meant that. This isn’t what any of us expected, you know, but it’s gonna be great. It’s gonna be great. We just have to make sure connor knows that it’s not gonna make us love him any less.

Adam: Mm-hmm. So, what do you think? How soon would you be comfortable doing this?

Chelsea: Well, connor should be back from soccer practice any minute. No time like the present.

Abby: Come in.

Ashley: Hi, honey.

Abby: Hi.

Ashley: Is devon here?

Abby: No, he thought we could use some privacy.

Ashley: Oh. So, I take it, he passed on tucker’s news.

Abby: He told me the basics and now I want to hear from you. What could you possibly be thinking?

Lily: Hello?

Devon: Hey, what’s up?

Lily: You look nice. Thank you. So do you.

Devon: How are you doing?

Lily: Good.

Devon: This is gonna be a great night tonight.

Lily: I know. I’m so glad we’re doing this. You ready?

Devon: I am. I’m ready. I get emotional a little bit from time to time. It’s gonna be a– a lot of love in the neil winters jazz lounge tonight. I just can’t believe how much time has gone by. You know?

Lily: I know. Our lives were so different from back then and yet it still feels like it happened just yesterday.

Devon: There’s still so much that I wanted to say to him that I never got a chance to.

Lily: Well, you can do it tonight. I know he’s listening. And I know that he’s looking down on us and he is very proud of us.

Devon: Amen. Good checkup?

Ashley: I’m just gonna be very honest with you. All right? He was serious about leaving town and I knew that he wanted to be close to devon and dominic and frankly, abby, I wasn’t ready to see him go.

Abby: Oh, my god.

Ashley: So, I came up with this idea that maybe we could work it out.

Abby: So, it was you. You were the one who convinced tucker to stay.

Ashley: I’ve got my eyes wide open.

Abby: I have to tell you, mom, I think this is ridiculous and honestly, a little pathetic.

Ashley: Abby, I’m still your mother. Watch your mouth.

[ Abby sighing ] Look, I see a good man who’s trying to do the right thing, but he– he always does the wrong thing.

Abby: And you can’t change him.

Ashley: I’m just giving him a little room to give it a shot.

Abby: To give it a shot.

Ashley: That’s it. All right. Now, are you angry because devon invited tucker to neil’s tribute tonight?

Abby: I think that’s a little bit different, don’t you? I mean, that’s a father and son thing, asking him to come to an event for one night, but you, you are asking him to move into our family’s home. Are you serious? Oh, my gosh.

Ashley: What?

Abby: I know what this is about. This is about uncle jack.

Ashley: Oh, lord.

Abby: It is, isn’t it? Because I told you, you should move out because you guys are arguing over diane. But no, you doubled down and you asked tucker to move in.

Ashley: It’s not about jack. Okay? That wasn’t the primary reason. The reason was tucker.

Abby: Okay. Well, I think you’re gonna regret this. I hope I’m wrong, but I think you’re gonna regret this in so many ways.

Ashley: I hope you’re wrong too. And I also hope this doesn’t come between the two of us.

Abby: Of course, it won’t, mom. I love you.

Ashley: I love you too.

Abby: And it’s your life. You can make your own decisions. I’m just–

Ashley: I know, you’re concerned. I get it. Can I please say hello to my grandson?

Abby: Well, dominic is sleeping right now, and I really have to get ready. Louise is on her way to watch dominic tonight.

Ashley: All right. Okay. I’ll see you at the tribute.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashley: Okay.

Lily: Oh, thank you so much for coming. I know it’s hard to get away when you’re working and you have a new baby.

Mariah: No, no. Tonight was worth the effort.

Lily: And congratulations on aria. I know you and tessa are excited.

Mariah: We are. It was just so weird. We came back and we were so joyous and everyone’s dealing with this tragedy. I know that we’re not well acquainted, but everyone here seems to love you and I just wanted to say that I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Daniel: Thank you. It’s very kind.

Mariah: I know it’s been a lot of years, but, um, is it so weird to look at me and be reminded of cassie?

Daniel: Well, it does make me think of her every time I see you, but I wouldn’t say that’s weird.

Lily: Well, it took us a while to get used to it, so.

Daniel: You know, why don’t I make myself useful? Would either of you ladies’ care for a drink?

Mariah: Oh, no, no. I’ll get one a little bit later.

Daniel: Lily?

Lily: Uh, yeah. I’ll do a glass of wine.

Daniel: One glass of wine coming up.

Lily: Thank you.

Sharon: Lily, I’m so sorry about moses.

Lily: Oh, thank you.

Mariah: What? What happened to moses?

Sharon: Uh, well, he and faith were supposed to be here tonight.

Lily: But they’re busy studying for finals and they couldn’t make it, so.

Mariah: Oh. Thank, goodness. Mom, you really shouldn’t phrase things like that. I mean, we got back from our trip and phyllis and uh, just– I’m glad moses is okay.

Sharon: Yeah, I understand. I’m sorry, sorry.

Mariah: Uh, on that note, I am gonna join daniel for that drink.

Nikki: They certainly bring back a lot of memories, don’t they?

Victor: Yeah, certainly does. One of the few guys I ever trusted, you know? He’s a good friend.

Devon: You know what? The feeling was definitely mutual.

Victor: Hey, devon.

Devon: Mr. And mrs. Newman.

Victor: How the hell are you, bud?

Nikki: Hi, devon.

Devon: Thank you so much for being here tonight.

Nikki: Oh, we wouldn’t have missed it.

Victor: So nice of you and lily to do this.

Devon: Yeah. Well, thank you to you both for making this lounge so special. ‘Cause he would have just loved every bit of it.

Victor: He certainly would have. Not the same without him, is it?

Devon: Not at all.

Sally: I’m okay telling you what happened with victor, but will you be okay listening to it?

Nick: What did he say?

Sally: Okay, nick, please calm down. I can literally feel the tension rolling off of you.

Nick: No, I’m cool.

Sally: You promise?

Nick: Yeah, I promise. I’m good. Please continue.

Sally: Okay. So, during the initial ingratiating phase, he congratulated me on having the baby, sweet as pie. He actually seemed genuinely excited about having a granddaughter.

Nick: Well, I’m sure he meant that. You know, family is everything to him. Although at times, he has a warped way of showing that.

Sally: Yeah. Um, anyway, so far so good. Right? Then he asked me about my past.

Nick: Oh, damn him.

Sally: Look, at first it was fine. You know, we talked about how he was sure that I wanted more for my child than I had growing up and how she would have the best of everything and not just material things, but you know, care and affection and being a part of all these lovely traditions and a big warm family and that she would never feel alone like I did as a kid.

Nick: Well, I’m sure those words coming out of anyone else’s mouth would be comforting. It was a real smooth way to set you up.

Sally: Yeah, I was suckered into thinking for a minute there that maybe he actually was gonna, I don’t know, give me a chance now that I’m carrying one of his grandkids. And then he apologized for tanking the negotiations with jill and he… offered to make it up to me.

Nick: Really? What was the catch?

Sally: You saw that coming too, huh? Yeah. He went in for the kill. Victor offered to set me up in business anywhere in the world, success and riches beyond my wildest dreams, but the baby would stay here with the real newmans.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Adam: How was practice?

Connor: Good. I didn’t know you’d be here. This is great. Are we doing family stuff?

Chelsea: Sort of.

Adam: Uh, we are having a little family meeting.

Connor: Oh, okay. That’s cool. As long as it’s not about my history project again. I’m almost done. I swear.

Chelsea: It’s not about school. It’s a family meeting to talk about our family.

Connor: The three of us?

Adam: That’s right. That’s why we wanted to talk to you. We are adding a new member to the club soon.

Nick: Okay. So, my father tried to pay you off. Bribe you to leave town, but the baby stays here. Awesome. I got it.

Sally: You don’t seem too surprised.

Nick: This is vintage victor newman.

Sally: I mean, your dad only sees me as the person that I used to be, someone from a poor background who’s desperate to get ahead, but he– he’s never grasped that I’ve changed because he’s never even bothered to get to know me. He never stopped to think once, “hm. Maybe there’s a reason why both of my sons actually care about this woman.” And he definitely never considered that being a mom and being a part of my daughter’s life would mean more to me than anything that he could tempt me with.

Nick: I just don’t get how he could get so far in life with zero understanding of people.

Sally: I mean, victor never thought I was worthy to be a part of the newman circle and I suspect he never will. But hey, at least one good thing came out of it. He’s shown his hand. So now, I know exactly what my daughter and i will be up against.

Nick: I’m so sorry that he disrespected you like that. You didn’t deserve it. But I have your back and so does adam. And he’s not gonna get away with treating you like a second-class citizen.

Sally: Well, thank you for listening. It’s very sweet of you. But I really don’t want to talk about it anymore because it’s just exhausting thinking about what happened and worrying about what victor might pull next.

Nick: Well. Um, I’m gonna have some, uh, room service sent up to you, all right? Then, you can get some rest.

Sally: Wait a second, you’re leaving?

Nick: Yeah. Yeah. I just want you to relax and, uh, enjoy some peace and quiet.

Sally: So, you can go confront your father because I know that’s exactly what you’re planning. No. No. I’m not letting you leave.

Victor: Hello, my sweetheart. I wondered where you had been.

Abby: Uh, something came up last minute.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: Nothing serious, I hope.

Abby: It’s all taken care of. I’m really happy that you’re here.

Victor: We wouldn’t miss it for anything.

Abby: Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go check in with, devon.

Victor: All right.

Nikki: Okay.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey. Mm. You look beautiful.

Abby: Oh, thank you. How’s everything going?

Devon: It’s all right. I just got a message from jack saying he’s not gonna be able to make it. He said he’s sorry. As if he has to apologize for anything with everything he’s dealing with.

Abby: And now my mom and tucker too.

Devon: How did your talk with her go?

Abby: I’ll fill you in later.

Devon: Are you guys all right?

Abby: For the most part. But you know, coming in here given the occasion and well, now seeing daniel, the last thing I want to do is complain about a difference of opinion that I’m having with one of my parents. Right now, all I care about is you and what tonight means for your family.

Devon: Thank you. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Connor: I’m not sure what you mean. Who’s joining the family?

Adam: Um, sally is expecting a little girl.

Connor: Sweet. I’ll have another cousin since sally’s with uncle nick now.

Adam: Yeah. They are dating, but I’m the baby’s father.

Chelsea: Which means you get to have a baby sister.

Connor: Oh. Um, okay.

Adam: Look, I know that this is a lot to take in.

Connor: Yeah. You guys aren’t a couple anymore, but you’re having a baby together.

Adam: Well, families come in all shapes and sizes, as you have learned recently, so we’re gonna work it out.

Connor: How are you with all this? Are you okay?

Chelsea: Oh, sweetheart, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I’m excited to bring this new little baby into our lives. Plus, if she’s your little sister, I like her already, so.

Connor: Okay. Is that it? Can I go upstairs now?

Mariah: Finally. Got you all to myself.

Devon: Hey, you. How you doing? I didn’t know I was so hard to get.

Mariah: I was just looking at the photos that you and lily put together of neil.

Devon: Yeah.

Mariah: I was very, very moved. He had a well lived life.

Devon: He really did.

Mariah: Tessa sends her love, by the way. She’s at home with the baby. Probably giving her a bottle as we speak.

Devon: Aw. I’m sure when she’s a little closer to dom’s age, her schedule will mirror yours a little better.

Mariah: A little? Oh, my goodness, you’re scaring me.

Devon: Maybe, not at all. I don’t know. All babies are, you know.

Mariah: They’re different. Yes, we keep hearing that. Every day is a new experience. It’s a good thing that we like surprises.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy to think about our kids growing up together?

Mariah: They’re gonna be best friends. Forever. Just like us.

Devon: That’s right.

Sharon: I’ll speak to you soon.

Abby: Yes.

Daniel: Abby, how’s it going?

Abby: It’s a great night. I hope being here isn’t too difficult for you.

Daniel: Getting used to hearing that tone of voice from people. Can we actually skip the next part where you ask me how everything’s going, and I reassure you that it’s going to be fine?

Abby: Done and done.

Daniel: Thank you. Great. Place looks amazing. Very elegant. I heard you had a lot to do with it.

Abby: Uh, no. This was all lily and devon. I just lent a helping hand where I could.

Daniel: Mm-hmm, I’m sure you’re being modest.

Abby: I enjoyed helping out. I felt like it was the least I could do.

Daniel: Yeah. They’ve been to hell and back. It’s nice to see them getting along again, focusing on what matters most.

Abby: So, will devon and I be seeing more of you now?

Daniel: Well, I do work under the chancellor-winters umbrella now and lily and I are old friends. So yeah, maybe you might be seeing more of me.

Abby: Hm.

Nikki: I always said neil and dru were made for each other.

Sharon: It was a love for the ages.

Victor: Unfortunately, they left us all too soon.

Lily: Well, is anyone ever ready?

Sharon: What’s most important is the memories that they leave us with and the way that they shape us growing up. Neil and drucilla were extraordinary people. It’s no wonder that you and devon turned out to be the kind of leaders who everyone trusts and looks up to. Just between us, you know what’s better than mopping?

Chelsea: Are you sure you don’t have any questions? Because you can tell us anything. You can ask us any question you got? We will not judge you.

Connor: I really don’t have anything else to say right now. I gotta finish my history project.

Adam: Okay. And that’s okay. Your mom and I will be here to talk whenever you’d like. But look, before you go up, I just, I wanna tell you one more thing. I will always love you. Nothing and no one will ever change that. This little girl, she will never take your place in my heart.

Chelsea: I second that. We adore you, sweetheart.

Connor: Cool. I love you guys too. Can I go?

Adam: Sure, buddy.

Chelsea: Yes, you can, but you know what I’m about to say. Homework first and then computer.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Adam: I’m not sure if that was good or bad.

Chelsea: Well, it could have gone worse. So that’s something. Just give it time, adam. He’ll warm up to the idea.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: I just can’t help but picturing it. Connor meeting his sister for the first time, wanting to show her off, teach her things. You know, the three of us starting this new adventure.

Chelsea: One big, extended family. You and the kids. Me, sally and nick, right?

Adam: Did I say otherwise? We’re all in this together.

Nick: If I was planning to go and have a word with my father, what makes you think you can do anything to stop me?

Sally: Well, for starters, I would ask you not to go charge into battle and escalate things. And if that didn’t work, then I might have to use my feminine wiles on you.

Nick: You– your, uh… your what? Did you just use the word wiles?

Sally: You know, I could pretend to be super sexy and enticing, but instead, I’m going to insist that you spoon me so I can close my eyes and lay down for a bit.

Nick: I can do that.

Sally: Okay.

Sally: Everything’s better when you’re around.

Nick: I feel the same way about you.

[ Guests whispering ]

Nikki: Victor, whatever questions you may have about ashley’s interest in that man, now is not the time. Tonight is about neil.

Victor: I won’t bother them for now.

Lily: Everyone, can I have your attention, please. Devon and I want to welcome you to tonight’s event. We are celebrating the life of neil winters. The man that we all love and the man that we all miss.

Devon: Yes. And we’re gonna keep tonight simple. We have some cocktails and some mock tails, which were some of neil’s favorites and those are all thanks to the lovely abby newman.

[ Applause ]

Lily: We also have an amazing pianist here from the winters mood label, lester thomas, who will be playing our dad’s favorite songs.

[ Applause ]

Devon: And we would like to honor neil winters tonight with stories and memories and with joy and with music, of course, and with recognition of his lasting legacy here in genoa city.

[ Applause ]

Harmony: I’m so glad I made it in time.

Devon: Next week on the young and the restless.

Tucker: You need a way out of here. I can give you that.

Daniel: What’s it like when kyle holds you in his arms and he’s trying to comfort you because he thinks that you’re grieving? And what’s it like knowing how upset he is about his mother? His mother that he just started to rebuild a relationship with. How can you look him in the eyes knowing that you could take all that pain away, but instead, you just keep choosing to lie to him?

Adam: I’m not offering you cash. I’m offering you a job, working for me.

Malcolm: And for my brother, family was everything.

Devon: Malcolm, what are you doing here, man?

Lily: Hi.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m – we heard about willow. How’s she doing?

Michael’s with her now.

What happened?

She collapsed, and we’re waiting to hear from dr. Randolph, but we talked to tj, and her condition is deteriorating.

How bad?

Hopefully, drew can find your aunt liesl and bring her back here in time to have the bone marrow transplant. But until then, willow has to stay in the hospital.

Thank you for agreeing to stay at the hospital.

Well… the whole, “if you go home, you won’t make it back” argument was pretty persuasive.

Guess I pulled out all the stops.

You were right, too. You made me see I need a controlled environment for now so I can go home to you and our kids later. And michael… I’m fighting with everything I have to stay with our family.

[Dramatic music]

Jordan? Jordan, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you. Where are you?

On the haunted star with spencer and ace.

Trina, listen to me. You have to get off that boat now.

Yes, we know, but–

– no buts. There are drones on the way with orders to drop bombs on the entire island, and we have no way to stop them. Take the baby and get to the seaplane before it’s too late.

[Whispering] I can’t leave my grandmother behind.

Or curtis. Jordan, what about the others?

Every second counts. Take the baby and get off that island now.

Trina, you take ace, and you try to get to the seaplane. I’m gonna try to warn my grandmother.

No. What if you run into victor or his guards? I’m not leaving you.

– Spencer, it’s felicia. You and I both know that your grandmother would want you and ace to be safe.

Exactly. Your job, both of you, is to get yourselves and the baby to that plane

before it takes off.

Drop the gun, victor.

Now, why on earth would I do that? Especially as you’re gonna drop your gun and let me pass.

Why would I do that? Obviously, you’d shoot me if I did.

Stop talking, and shoot him!

Oh, careful, miss sutton! You might hit liesl.

I accept the risk. Now, shoot him!

Well, now, what about poor willow? Anything happens to you, and she’ll die.

I’ll instruct you how to harvest my marrow from my dying body. Now, pull the trigger!

Okay!

Anything happens to me, we all die.

 

[Gasps] Valentin! Oh, my god!

[Monitor beeping] What– talk to me!

Anna. No, you’re not real. You’re an illusion.

What? What?

[Sobbing] You’re just like helena. I’m imagining you.

No, no, you’re not. No, I’m here. I’m absolutely real. Valentin, you have to hang on.

God… if you can hear me… please keep trina and curtis safe. Just bring my family home.

[Knock at door] Come in.

[Clears throat]

Hi. Hope I’m not interrupting. I just wanted to check on you.

Marshall was here with me earlier. [Chuckles] But, I, uh–I sent him home ’cause he needs his rest.

He’s not the only one.

Yeah, I know. I’m so tired. But I just can’t stop thinking about… what if I never see curtis and trina ever again?

– Wait a minute. The displayon this computer, the–

[Computer beeping] The program that it’s running, I’ve seen that before.

You’ve seen it where?

Oh, my god. 40 years ago, in another underground bunker also owned by mikkos cassadine. Wait a minute. Look at this. Look at this. The displays–

“temperature,” “target area.” “New york, new j–” it’s a map of the mid-atlantic states.

It’s all the same.

Same as what?

I think there might be another weather machine.

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]


Okay, we get what you’re saying, but the others have to be warned.

I promise you, we’ll find a way to tell everyone in the bunker about the drone strike.

You need to get to the seaplane now, otherwise you’re putting yourselves and ace in grave danger.

They’re right.

Jordan… please tell my mom and dad I love them.

I will, and then you can tell them yourselves when you get home. Now get yourself to the plane. Good luck, and stay safe.

Okay, we have to hurry. Let’s bundle ace up the best that we can, and– trina–

right, okay.

Trina, we can do this.

Together.

It’s one thing for trina not to speak to me. I get that she’s angry. She should be. I’ll take the silence. But for her to listen to spencer, someone who’s been known to hurt every single person that’s cared about him–

spencer can be difficult.

All I was trying to do was give trina some time, some time and some space to process everything that had happened. And now, the window that I had to make things right– it might be gone forever.

Portia, no, no.

I just don’t know why I waited. Why didn’t I just go to her? Go to her and done everything in my power to make things right while i still had the chance to do it.

Trina is as big-hearted as she is stubborn. And when she gets back– when– two of you will be able to work things out.

[Knock at door]

Come in. Is there word?

We just heard from trina and spencer.

[Dramatic music]

Valentin, focus! Look at me, valentin.

The real anna’s in a hospital. My father shot her. She told me to come and get him.

I know I told you that. But I came after you.

God, I wish you were really here so I could hold you against me one last time, tell you how much I love you.

Hey. I love you, too. Listen… valentin… I love you. That’s why I’m here… to help you. I’m gonna get you out of there, all right?

No. You can’T.

Hey, hursley!

Da scorpio. Very brave of you to speak to me without your lawyer present.

Unless you’re here to tell me that the bureau now realizes how stupid it is to bomb an island with ten people on it, then get out of my face.

Eh, but I’m under orders to stay and monitor the situation.

Do it where I can’t see you.

Let’s keep each other posted, shall we?

I’m gonna talk to this director myself, see if I can get through to him.

I had heard stories that the cassadines had a machine that could control the climate, but I thought it was just an urban legend.

No. No, it wasn’T. It was absolutely real. It was based on something called carbonic snow. You see, the weather machine was capable of creating an artificial blizzard in a targeted area, and in the summer of 1981, mikkos cassadine aimed that thing right at the city of port charles. A group of us–luke, robert, tiffany hill, and I– we all managed to stop him, and that weather machine was destroyed. But this is the same program.

Okay, well, the computer’s from the same era. If it’s the same program… is it hooked up to another weather machine?

Hey, brook lynn told me willow was here.

Thanks for coming.

[Sighs] Nina.

I am so scared.

 

Michael is not going to like that sonny and nina are here.

No. Let’s hope they have sense enough to keep their distance.

Thank you.

How is willow? Any updates?

Well, the updates are not good. Her condition is getting worse.

I know that this must be agony for you, for everyone. Is there any word on liesl?

Nothing.

Give up, victor. Backup is on the way. There’s nowhere to run.

Come on, holly. That old trick? You disappoint me.

It’s not a trick.

Look, you’re wasting your time here. Just let me go, and then you can get on with looking for your son, ethan.

Ethan’s perfectly fine, thank you. Felicia and I found out about the auction– sick, little affair that it was– and ethan is now safe and far from your reach. You failed, again.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Once I release this pathogen, it has an 80% mortality rate, and I’m the only one with the antidote.

At this point, victor, why bother?

Why bother? Try to save the world? Why bother living?

But what’s to live for for you, bearing in mind your unfortunate condition?

What do you mean by that?

I’d have thought by now you’d have figured out, victor, that it was me who arranged for a little addition to your cocktail.

And a lot of good it did. He’s still alive and kicking.

Yeah, well, alive? Yes. Kicking? Not so much. And I’m glad we’re finally face-to-face, victor, ’cause I really want you to know that it was me.

You don’t mean–

no more heirs for uncle victor. In fact, victor, you can’t even… try, can you?

You bitch!

[Grunts]

[Gunshot]

[Struggling efforts]

[Victor groans] Ah!

[Dramatic music]


You’re awake?

I am.

I don’t wanna interrupt.

You could never.

Oh, I could. You should ask him.

Yeah, yeah. She definitely could.

[Laughs]

So, what’s up?

Sonny and nina are here. They heard what happened.

You know, I don’t really think I can think about them right now. Could you tell them to just–

michael, wait.

Drew!

Liesl, no, no, no, no! No!

Liesl, can you hear me?

Was she–was she hit?

[Dramatic music]

 

You can’t open that door, anna. I’m infected.

I know. We’re here to help you.

Where’s victor and obrecht? They have the cure.

I don’t know where they are. The others are looking for them.

The others? Oh, my god. [Sobs]

Just don’t worry about them. All right? God. Um– what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna try to find you a hazmat suit or something that we can put on you, and then we can get you to safety, okay? I’ll be right back.

No, don’t go!

No, you don’t understand! We don’t have time!

No, I love how you never give up, but it’s already too late.

You know, we could be looking at an electronic ghost– an old program that started up when the computer booted up. Well, as long as it’s not connected to an actual weather machine, should be harmless.

Except that mikkos cassadine was never harmless. He was relentless. He was obsessive and absolutely thorough. And he knew– he absolutely knew that there were agencies, including the wsb, tracking him, trying to stop him.

Seems like a guy like that would have backups.

I think you’re right. Oh, my god.

Well, then, that explains this. Why would mikkos cassadine equip a bunker in literally the middle of nowhere without telling his brother? So he could retreat, if he needed to, with two weapons, two ways to hold the world hostage: The pathogen and the weather machine. Laura, this is real, and it’s running. We gotta stop it. I’ll find a way to kill the power.

No, no, wait, don’t do that. We can kill the power to this computer, but that doesn’t mean that we can kill the power to the weather machine.

You’re right. If we interrupt the power, the computer might shut down and lock us out entirely, and we’ll never find them.

Yeah. It’s calibrated its target. It’s the same as last time.

Port charles.

[Dramatic music]

Trina and spencer agreed to head straight to the plane. With any luck, they should be home before daybreak.

[Laughs]

Oh, and… trina says she loves you.

Thank you, jordan.

[Distant siren wails]

Is that snow?

[Ominous music]

Oh, my goodness.


Willow seems stable. Everything– so can we just go?

No, I wanna just stay a little bit longer, sonny, just in case.

Michael? How are you doing?

I’m okay, all things considered. Nina–

I’m not gonna– I’m not here to cause trouble.

No. Willow wants to see you.

[Melancholy music]

Come on, liesl. Liesl. Please!

She’s got a pulse.

All right.

Liesl, can you hear me?

How bad is it?

[Dramatic music]

There must be a way to stop the process.

It’s already begun. And it will only get worse as it slowly works its way up to full power. See, the longer the machine is in operation, the greater the devastation will be.

All right, well, we have to try something. I got an idea.

Okay.

Suspend… operations.

[Computer beeping] “To terminate functions, enter chemical formula in operation.” Chemical formula for what?

Carbonic snow. I told you, that’s how the machine works. The–it creates a blizzard by using carbonic snow.

Who has the formula to carbonic snow?

[Dramatic music]

I do.

Okay. Are you sure this is the right way?

Yeah, we’re heading east.

Didn’t take you for a boy scout.

Sailing at prep school.

Of course.

Someone’s coming.

Maybe it’s curtis.

Maybe it’s not.

 

It’s okay. It’s all right.

It’s okay. It’s all right.

Uncle victor still has the pathogen.

Where’s curtis?

I don’t know. But I need to go after victor.

Spencer, you can’T.

Any luck?

Yeah, all bad. Hursley was right about one thing: This new director is definitely not gonna take any of my calls. Anybody who I manage to get through to pretty much said the same thing.

They have to follow protocol in the event of a bioterror threat. I got the same drill.

Yeah, we’re dealing with… ten people here, as far as the bureau’s concerned, rather than billions.

Even if those ten are our friends.

Speaking of which, I was hoping to have heard from anna by now.

Well… she’s a little busy.

Will you please tell charlotte how sorry I am and that I love her and she was always the best thing in my life?

She still is!

[Heart monitor beeping]

I should’ve known better.

What?

When I looked into alex’s eyes, I should’ve known that she wasn’t you, because there’s no kindness there. You have compassion in your eyes. Even all those years ago, when you rejected my affection…

oh.

You still knew my heart. You still had compassion in your eyes. And I wish I had held on to that. And alex couldn’t have poisoned what we had. But she did, and I let her. And I wish that I hadn’t let anger and spite control me, because then, maybe we would’ve found each other so much sooner and I could’ve been the man that I am with you, and I like the man that I am with you. So, if this is how I die–

no, this is not how you die!

It’s okay, because you redeemed me.

[Dramatic music]

[Sobbing] Thank you. I love you, anna devane.

I will always– I’ll always love you.

[Gasps]

Valentin!

Valentin!


So I will check on wiley and amelia and make sure brook lynn and tracy aren’t teaching them really bad habits.

[Knock at door]

[Laughs]

[Desolate music]

Michael said that you wanted to s ee me?

Uh, I do. Um, carly, thank you for everything.

Yeah. Remember, you need to rest. No excitement.

 

How are you feeling?

The fluids are helping.

That’s good.

Nina… I want you to do something for me.

Name it.

Leave carly alone.

It’s not a bullet wound. She must have hit her head when she fell.

Okay, okay. Liesl? Liesl, I need you to open your eyes.

Mm…

open your eyes. Oh, there she is.

[Groans in pain]

Thank god. Thank god. Okay.

Okay.

Okay, take it easy. Easy, easy.

There you go.

Victor…

there you go.

Where’s that vile insect?

He’s right…

[Dramatic music] Wait, wait, wait. Wait, he’s gone! He’s gone, and so is the canister. He’s gotta be headed back to the “haunted star.”

I’ll go. You get liesl to the plane.

Nein! Valentin is dying. He needs the antidote.

 

What happened? Where’s spencer?

Some guy showed up out of nowhere. We did our best to fight him off. He took out ivan and knocked me out.

So you’ve no idea where he is? What about, er, ace?

I checked the stateroom. The baby and the nanny are both gone.

Oh, to hell with the nanny. Search the ship. Find my nephews. No, wait. Get the ship under way first. We’re leaving, with or without my family.

[Sighs, winces]

You cannot go after victor. We agreed to get ace to the plane. That’s the plan. Now let’s go before one of victor’s men sees us.

You go. I can’t let my uncle victor escape, not when he has the pathogen that he intends to release and kill half this planet.

Spencer!

Trina, take my brother and go. I will be right behind you. Okay?

You promise?

I promise. I promise.

[Sighs]

 

Snow in may.

It happens. Last time was, like, three years ago. Aiden did a report on it. But this is especially bizarre. It was in the 70s this afternoon.

What you said about aiden and the report– I mean, that makes me think about trina. All the reports and all the homework…

[All laugh] That we helped them with over the years. Well, until trina said that she’s old enough and she can do it by herself.

[Laughs]

You both are mothers, so I know that you understand that even though trina’s in college, she’s always, always gonna be my little baby girl.

[Wind whistling] Every time I look at her, I just see this little trace of a grin that she had when she was in her terrible twos.

[Laughs] And sometimes, I think she never grew out of them.

[Laughs]

But that smile… no matter how old she gets, that’s what I’m gonna see.

[Eerie music]

– Right after we stopped mikkos, I… I found the formula in a stateroom, and I studied it as I was falling asleep. And then, when I woke up, I realized that no one should ever have access to that information, so we burned the paper, but… the formula is seared into my memory.

[Dramatic music] Robert was always afraid about that. He was afraid that if someone found out, that they might come after me for it.

Listen, that’s not the kind of information you should have rattling around in your head. It could be dangerous.

But this might be the very thing that saves… everyone.

 

[Heart monitor beeping]

Valentin.

Anna.

Hi.

What are you doing? You can’t be in here.

I know. It’s too late.

Why would you do that?

‘Cause I love you.

I’m contagious. I’m infected. My god, what have you done?

[Soft dramatic music]

 

Laura, that was over 40 years ago. How sure are you that you memorized that formula exactly?

[Dramatic music] If we guess improperly, this whole system could lock us out. We got one shot at this.

I know.

Do you trust me?

Absolutely.

 

[Computer beeps]

[Sighs] Oh, my god.

It worked.

It worked.

It worked.

It worked; we did it.

Oh, my.

Oh.


oh, holly, how I wish I had been able to kill you myself after what you did to me. But I suppose you’re just gonna have to take your chances with the rest of humanity. Right. Let’s get this pathogen somewhere safe and the antidote somewhere safer.

[Dramatic music] No!

Okay, okay, take it easy. Good.

I stole the antidote while victor wasn’t looking, so if he releases the pathogen, there’s an 80% chance he’ll be killing himself as well.

Do you think that would stop him?

Victor’s both an idealist and an extremist, and cassadines are often willing to go down with the ship, so to speak.

Okay.

 

I think this is the way out.

Okay, good. Holly! It’s holly. My god, what are you doing here? What’s going on?

Here, you need to call robert and jordan, tell them that victor’s getting away. He’s got the pathogen with him. Last I saw, he was headed towards the “haunted star.” Where’s valentin?

What have you done?

I don’t know. I mean… I thought maybe I could find some kind of… suit or protection, but…

[Soft dramatic music] I just didn’t want you to be alone.

I don’t know that dying together is all it’s cracked up to be.

[Laughs] I… hey. Hey, look at me, right here. I want you to listen to me. I wanna tell you about someone: Valentin cassadine.

Oh, I–

no, listen. He’s a man that is not going to die in some obscene plot of his father’s, because he–you– you have a destiny. You’re gonna be an even greater father to charlotte. You’re gonna be my partner. Because… you know my darkness. You know what I’m capable of, and you’re capable of those things, too. I know that sounds a little twisted, but it’s not, really, because I think that kind of connection– it sort of elevates us, in a way. You know? It allows us to… love the people we love without any kind of restraint or restriction, including each other.

[Tender music]

I think that’s why I– I came into this room.

[Sighs]

But you’ll die.

I… not necessarily. I mean, there’s, like, a 20% chance that I’m immune to this thing. I can beat those odds. I’m willing to risk them…

just to be with you.

 

We’re sure everything is fine.

Really?

No. But we haven’t heard any yelling yet, and nina hasn’t bolted out of the room in tears, so…

I appreciate your optimism, sasha.

[Tense music] But… when my dad was at turning woods… I hate to wait. I hated it. We would pace back and forth. We’d wait. We’d hold his hand. We would wait.

We just felt hopeless.

 

Even though he didn’t know that you were there, I think you just being there helped mike.

 

I hope so.

I just don’t know what willow could possibly have to say to nina.

Maybe I made a mistake, letting nina in there.

Hey. Hey. You did exactly what your wife asked you to do. You did the right thing.

My wife. Now willow and I are married.

 

[Sighs] I just the day hadn’t been so hard on her.

Well, next time, I promise to wait till after the reception before I’m hauled in for questioning.

What next time?

I don’t know. Birthdays, anniversaries, vow renewal. You have a lifetime of celebrations ahead of you, michael. You do. I know it. And as for your wedding day, willow doesn’t regret a second of it.

Even now?

I’m sorry, you want what?

I want you and carly to make peace.

I can try.

I know you won’t ever be friends, or even friendly, but promise me you’ll at least keep your distance, stop keeping score of who wronged who when and just… let it all go. Wow.

[Laughs weakly] You–you haven’t changed at all, for all you claim to care about me?

No, I do, I do. I care. I care a lot about you. I–

then promise me, regardless of whether I survive this or not, to drop your vendetta against carly.

 

Oh.

Any word?

Not yet.

[Phone rings]

Excuse me. Commissioner ashford.

Jordan, it’s curtis. I got you on speakerphone.

– Curtis. I’m putting you on speaker.

Curtis, curtis, it’s portia. Is trina with you?

Not at the moment, but I’ve seen her. She’s okay.

Curtis, you need to get out of there. The wsb has ordered a drone strike on the island. Both: What?

– They can’t risk the pathogen getting released into the world. The drones are already on their way.

But the pathogen isn’t here.

Where is it?

– We just saw holly. She said that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star” and he took the pathogen with him. Bombing the island is not going to do any good.

You’ve gotta stop

the airstrike.

Hursley!

[Dramatic music] Tell your boss to call off his airstrike.

Da scorpio, for the millionth time, there is not–

change of circumstances. Victor’s left the island. He’s taken the pathogen with him. All you’re doing now is killing innocent people and covering his escape.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. I–I won’t get into it with carly anymore.

Thank you.

Uh, nina? Willow needs her rest.

[Soft dramatic music]

I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time. I’m gonna be–I’m gonna try to be a better person, okay? If there’s anything else you need, just…

keep your promise.

 

Come on, will you?

The drones are already on their way. We don’t know exactly when the strike will happen, but it could be anytime, so you need to get out of there.

Laura.

Yes, robert.

You’re okay. The bureau listened this time. The strike’s been called off.

[Sighs]

What about victor?

Liesl. You double-crossed me. I am not having a very good day.

[Sighs]

[Footsteps clacking] You need to turn the ship around. We have to go back.

I don’t take orders from you anymore.

Spencer!

I thought you might come crawling back. If you think I’m gonna forgive you–

I’m not here for forgiveness.

It’s over, uncle.


Curtis, laura. Oh, thank god. Thank god I found you.

Trina, what are you still doing here?

Is the baby all right?

Yes, yes, I… listen. We gotta get out of here. There’s gonna be an airstrike.

We know all about the airstrike. We got it under control.

Yeah, it’s okay. We got in touch with the wsb. We told them that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star.”

Spencer and I saw him, but we gotta go.

The drone strike has been redirected. We’re safe.

Redirected where?

The new target’s the “haunted star.”

But spencer’s on that ship!

Oh, calm down, dear boy.

I’m not your boy. Give me the pathogen, and we can both walk out of here alive.

[Scoffs] How dare you threaten me? I’m the head of our family. This is finished when I say.

I said hand it over.

You’ll have to rip it out of my cold, dead fingers.

Fine.

No– ow!

[Dramatic music]

 

[Cell phone rings]

Hello?

Carly! Carly, can you hear me?

Drew? Are you okay? What happened?

So, how was your talk with nina? Did you get what you wanted from her?

I hope so. Who knows? I wanna believe that nina’s sincere.

Okay. Michael, willow, there’s someone who wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Yeah.

– Willow?

Drew–drew? Are you all right?

Not only am I okay…

I’m okay, too, not that anyone has asked.

[Laughs]

Dr. O– great-aunt liesl! I’m so glad you’re all right.

We are on our way back. Then you can literally suck the life from the bones.

Oh, we can’t wait.

Okay, so liesl and i are on our way back. Not sure who’s joining us, but everyone should be back soon.

I can’t wait to see you.

Me too. Let’s get out of here.

Anna…

I love you, too.

 

[Door thumps open]

Anna!

Get out! You’ll get infected.

Kind of you to care, but don’t worry. I’ve got the antidote.

 

Our satellite has eyes on the “haunted star.” It’s on the move.

Victor’s trying to escape, and you guys are gonna stop him.

[Dramatic music]

 

I’m glad I didn’t kill you, though I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

[Jet engines roaring]

What do you mean, he’s on the “haunted star”?

Spencer went to go after victor. We have to call the wsb so they–

[Explosion] Spencer.

Oh! Oh!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, this is just surreal. Honestly, I, I, I didn’t think that I would ever see this place again. Wait until everyone sees you. I mean, I’m sure most people know that you’re alive and well, but. Still, just to have you back here. It’s great. It is. Although, I have to say, I am not thrilled that we left your father and the others in Greece, especially since your Uncle Bo’s future is still up in the air and Kate’s missing.

And Mom, this is exactly where you need to be. I mean, how could you just sit on the sidelines when Seth Burns fired you? Yeah. He’s such a little weasel. I mean, we are out there fighting for our lives, and that’s the time he decides to get rid of me. But don’t worry, we’re gonna march into his office and we’re gonna raise some hell.

And meanwhile, Papa, uncle Broman and Chad, they’re gonna find Kate wherever she is.

Hey Steve, where’s uh, where’s Roman? Well, he’s, uh, back at the hospital with Hope. They’re talking to Bo’s doctors about moving him into a long-term facility. No, damn that, that poor guys going through it. Brother. His wife’s missing. Yeah. Well, we need to lighten his load. Right? Come up with a plan to find and rescue gate.

So what’s that? As you know, breakfast, really, you expect me to eat that, so I don’t expect you to do anything but you want to die of starvation. That’s fine with me. The choice is yours.

Is there a problem, ej? Now, why would you think that? You know, I don’t have time for Briddle school. I’m gonna go inside. But do me a favor, try not to annoy our customers on their way in. I, I, I’m not so fast. You and I have a few things that we need to get straight.

What, what is wrong, Nicole? What’s happening? Oh, I felt a, a bad cramp and I, oh. Oh, it’s happening again, Gabby. I need help. Ah, God. Nice try, Nicole. Oh, what are you talking about, Gabby? Can’t you see him in pain? Mm. Actually what I can see is that Meryl Streep you ain’t, what the hell? I definitely don’t see any Oscars in your future because your performance right now totally fake.

Oh, come on.

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

I can’t think of anything you or I have to say to one another. I’m not sure Sloan and Peterson would agree. What you human. Wait a second. Are you talking about those lace biscuits? Sloan had nothing to do with, you know damn well it’s not those biscuits I’m concerned about. Goodbye, Jay. You have the temerity to stand here and pretend as though you don’t know why I’m calling you out.

Pretending. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I know Eric, you know what? That you had sex with Nicole. You’ve sank Pon son of a bitch.

Oh my God. I can’t believe you’re insulting me when I’m doubled over in pain. I didn’t insult you. I just said that you’re nom me street. That’s all. Oh God. That’s great, Debbie. Okay, now that that’s done, can you at least, oh, I don’t know, just help me before I pass out and die. You’re not gonna die. I’m glad you’re so sure.

Can we just drop this because I know what this is about. You want me to let my guard down so that I forget to send my evaluation of EJ to the Demer board, right? Is that what it’s, no, it’s not right. Ah, you want your snake of a boyfriend to remain in charge of Dera Enterprises valiant effort, but it’s not gonna happen.

Sister. I don’t care, Gabby, I need to get to the hospital now. Oh,

oh, oh. The look in his face. I’m never ever going to forget that. Ah, he did look pretty shocked. And all because of Wait, wait, wait, wait. How did you put it? Mr. Ferret? If you don’t reinstate Dr. Johnson immediately, I am going to unleash a viral PR campaign against you in this hospital from which you will never recover.

And I would’ve done it too. I mean, you come back from the dead and the guy decides to sell you out to the board. Well, Seth’s never been that loyal, and I talked to someone in the business affairs office and they said that he spent a friction on a head hunter trying to find my replacement. Seriously.

Mm-hmm. Talk about scummy. Remind me to never get on your bad side as if you ever could. Hmm. I bet he did not expect me to hop on a plane and come here and call him out. Especially with my shark PR daughter by my side no less. I’ll always have your back. Mom and I will always have yours. Ah, thank you. Well, I better go do the job that, uh, we both saved.

Ah, I’m so happy for you and I’m so proud of you. Ooh, ooh. Maybe you wanna go home and get some rest, huh? Oh, I will. I will. But first I have somebody finished business to tend to

whatever it takes to find Kate. I’m game well. That’s good. But, uh, buddy, I thought she’d be heading back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla. You must be anxious to see your kids. Yeah. Yeah. I miss him like crazy. I’m not gonna leave her without Kate now. She’s like the closest thing I have to a mother. I know.

Well, hopefully we can bring her home safe to all the people who love her.

Is that Roman? He’s probably finished at the hospital.

Michaels.

What the hell are you doing here,

Steph? I didn’t know you were back from Greece. Yeah, we just got in a little while ago. Dr. Johnson. My god, I uh, I heard that you were alive, but to actually see you Yeah, it’s um, going to be back for sure. My dad’s gonna be really pumped that you’re back home. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well. They are, they’re fine.

And, um, I just wanna take a second to tell you how truly sorry I am. What, well, I don’t know if Stephanie told you or not, but, um, I was the reason why she wasn’t there for your last moments that I just thought, um, You know, it really doesn’t matter what I thought. I, uh, I did something really selfish and I’m gonna feel guilty, and I’m gonna feel terrible about it for the rest of my life.

Well, Stephanie told me what happened that day, how she missed the call about me and. How Ill I was, but it turned out that those were not my last moments that she missed. And now thank God I have time to share lots of moments with my family. But I, I, I appreciate your apology and, um, accept.

Is it all ready for come in,

answer my question. Why are you here? Agent Donovan sent me, he thought I could be, uh, of help with the search for Kay. Well, he thought wrong, we don’t want you here and we don’t need your help.

Oh

yeah. You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you? Yeah. Seeing a richer me kind of living like a peasant. Yes. I enjoy very much. Wow. For your information. I haven’t always been rich and I’ve worked my ass off for everything I’ve gotten. See, see, I’m sure you know I don’t have to explain myself to you, do I?

When you gonna let me off? The stupid shit? You has too many questions. That’s because I don’t get any answers. Let’s just say, how do I put, I don’t have the to give you answer. You can bring me to someone who does.

You should really be talking to Nicole about this. Yeah, while I’m talking to you right now when I want answers, ej, is this the part where you lie to my face, where you tell me that I’ve got it all? Ronco ahead. Eric Colo a liar. Is this where you got your information? I should have guessed Lisa girlfriend had the decency to tell me what was going on.

Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about. There’s nothing going on between me and Nicole. So you deny that you had sex with I’m not denying anything. Do you wanna know the truth? Alright, fine. Yeah, I did have sex with your girlfriend.

Ah, God, Gabby, if you don’t have the decency to take me to the hospital, I will call an ambulance myself. Ah, wait. Hold on Nicole. Come on. Are you really sick? Really? You’re sick? Yes. I am really, really sick. You Harless box. Ah, okay. Okay. I believe you. Come on, we gotta get the hospital. Oh.

So why haven’t I ever met your boss? Because my boss, he doesn’t want to meet with people. Could you at least give me a name? Finish your breakfast. Would you like me to bring you more fish to clean? No. I’ll pass. Are you looking at this? Looks good on me, eh? Ah, you’re set bastard. Hey, fair is fair. You got your phone call?

I got the ring, my phone call. All didn’t go through the deal is a deal, lady. You know, I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to keep it, so maybe give it to one of my girlfriends or maybe, oh, maybe I’ll cut that ring. Hey, y’all figure, so you’re the reinforcement. Andrew told us he was sending, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Where is he? He got called when in another case. So you’re here in his stead. I don’t know why my nephew thought we’d ever accept help. From the likes of you, I know that I’m not your first choice. You’re not any choice because you’re the guy who knew Bo was alive and you kept it to yourself. I, Steve, it’s okay.

No, no, no. Just let him say his peace. It’s fine. And Kayla and I were locked up in that carry swine cellar. You didn’t lift a finger to help, right? I didn’t know you were down there. You knew we were missing. And you knew Bo had to be involved. But you didn’t care. Let’s forget about me and Kayla for now.

Let’s talk about hope, about how you didn’t tell her that the father of her children, the man she loved for her entire life was alive. Steve. No, no, no, no. Why don’t we just, no. Bottom line. If this jerk had come forward sooner, my best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Well, it looks like word of my triumphant return is spreading. I already have a patient and that patient is so lucky to have the best doctor on the planet. Oh, you’re a doll baby. I love you. I love you. Thank you again, Alex.

So, so it was good of you to apologize to my mom? Yeah. I don’t expect for it to make up for what I did, but it meant a lot that she forgave me.

So what are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s, everything’s fine. Just going to my appointment with Dr. Evans started therapy, decided to work on my issues. Oh, wow. That’s great. Big step. Yeah, it is.

Well, I should get going. I let a lot of work pile up while I was in Greece. I bet. See you around Alex.

Stephanie. Okay, wait a second.

Such bloody hypocrites. You Brady’s. Sneering at anyone who doesn’t share your middle class values. Your Catholic piety went all the way. You’re just as connell and corrupt as the rest of us. Yeah. Well, if you’d shut it for five minutes, just let me explain. Explain what you’ve already admitted that you slept with Nicole ej.

We were both highest kites after we ate those lace biscuits. We weren’t thinking clearly. We were out of our mind. You of all people should know what had happened to you, and we knew it was wrong as soon as it happened. If it was indeed a harmless drug-induced mistake, why did you keep it a secret to?

Because we knew you’d blow it out of proportion because you’re an insecure asshole.

Hello? Oh my God. Kayla, it’s, it’s you. Uh, yes. It’s Hello, Nicole. I I, I’m sorry if my eyes are bugging out. It, it’s, I mean, I heard you were alive, but to see you I know. It’s strange. I’ve been getting that a lot today. But listen, let’s, let’s talk about you. What’s, what’s going on? Yeah. Uh, well, I, I got these really bad.

Cramps earlier, and I don’t think it’s a bug because I’m not nauseous or anything and I’ve had food poisoning before several times and I don’t think it’s that. So you’re having cramps? Mm-hmm. Do you think they could be menstrual cramps? Oh God, no. I mean, I don’t really get cramps, you know, not like this anyway, but I am due to, to get my period.

Uh, and I have this app that turns my cycle, so we’ll see.

Well, that’s, that’s weird. What.

Hi. This is really strange because my, my ob gyn gave me a new birth control last year, and it’s been like clockwork ever since. Are you experiencing any undue stress? Oh, yeah, for like the last 25 years. I mean, something a little more recent. Uh, well do you, do you think helping EJ scheme against his brother Stephan and the woman he loves is stressful?

Probably more for them. Hmm.

I dunno about you, but is it, isn’t it really hot in here? Nope. I, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Well, not me. Oh my God, I think I’m starting to sweat, huh? Huh? What? Oh, well, uh, your period is late. You’re having cramps, hot flashes. Oh, God, no. No. I am not having hot flashes. And clearly the hospital has thermostat turned out too high.

Uh, well, you know, it’s the first week of May and heat is not on, so I, I think it is. You what? Well, what are you getting at? I think maybe you are entering into menopause.

Oh, I guess I had that coming and then some. You’re talking what happened? As I told you, Nicole and I were both loosing. When we slept together. You did something else to deserve to get punched. Well, I did circuit punch you a few weeks back. So I guess that makes us even, oh, oh, we are far from these. Really, you, uh, you want to keep this going?

In fact, I do. Really?

All right then. That first punch was for free. The second one’s gonna cost you.

You want to do this? Oh, I do. Oh, I really, really do. No, it turns out that the skills required, the sever our finger our fish had are similar.

What do you want? I want an audience with your boss.

I totally understand how you feel. That’s big of you. So I’ll go. Best of luck with the search. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait. No, no, no. Chad. Let him go. We can’t trust him and we don’t need him. What if we do, look, I understand you have your reservations, but what if he’s our best chance to find Kate? If it weren’t for him, me and Stephanie would be as good as dead.

Right now. Thomas Banks would’ve killed us. I think that we should reconsider with all due respect.

Now, before you go, I’d like to ask you something. And I know what it is. You’re wondering if my mom letting you off the hook about that phone call I never got. If that means I’ve done the same. Actually, no, it’s not what I wanted to ask you see, Steph, um, me pressuring you the minute you got back into town trying to guilt you into letting me off the hook as you put it.

That’s what the old Alex would’ve done. Oh, right. And the new Alex. The new Alex is learning that just because I have remorse for all of my actions, it doesn’t mean that the people I hurt need to forgive me. I see. So why did you stop me just now? Because I need your help.

You know, I don’t like to admit when I need help, but this is kind of a special case. What’s going on? My Aunt Maggie’s heading to Greece with my Uncle Vic to go be with Ball. Of course, God, they must be out of their minds with worry. Right? And while my aunt is gone, she left me in charge of this crucial deal for Titan that we have been working on for months.

Okay?

I’m a little anxious about it, Steph. I really can’t afford to screw this up. Like I really can’t. No, I understand. What’s this gotta do with me? How can I help? I have a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of our strategies to all the parties involved. Now, I have been cramming my brain for the data, Steph, but I would feel a lot more confident.

If I had a world class communications expert by my side,

listen Michaels. I am grateful to you for stopping that maniac from hurting my little girl. You, you don’t have to, but it wasn’t long ago that you were responsible for putting her life in danger. If you remember the exploding pizza box, I’m still haunted by what I did to your family and to John Black and his son.

Look, Steve, he wa he was under Megan’s control when he did those things. Like just like you and John were when she ordered you to hijack that dam, Margo on Hong Kong. We’ve both been there. I shot Brady and, and you guys almost hurt your wife’s trying to secure those prisms for Megan, but what about the things he’s done since then?

When he was in possession of his free will. You’re right, you’re right. I knew what I was doing when I, I didn’t tell hope the truth about Bo, and, and I can’t forgive myself for that. So is that why you’re here? To make amends? Andrew thought helping you find Kate, Mike, gimme a small chance at redemption, but I understand why.

You wouldn’t want my help?

Fuck, Steve. I’ll be honest. I I, I, I don’t care if the guy’s handle Hector. If it helps us find Kate. He’s a Navy Seal for God’s sakes, if Kate’s lost that sea, he’s gonna be our best hope to find her.

He’s right Steve. My, uh, my skills can be valuable. So what do you say?

He’s not gonna do thisk. You think I’m blessing? I’m not bluff. You don’t take me to your boss. I’m gonna cut off this finger and okay. Wait, wait, wait. My boss, he’s a very dangerous man. He does not want to be disturbed. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will beg you to him.

More lives and a litter of cats. Sharper claws too. Nicole. Nicole, are you in there? I saw your car in the garage. Hello, ej. Nicole. Nicole? Uh, no. Use yelling. You’re co-conspirators not here. What? Where’d you go?

Menopause. I mean, I’m, I’m not too young for menopause, right? Well, not necessarily. I mean, yes, you would be on the younger side. I mean, the media age is about 51, 52, but there are many women. It’s not uncommon to be in your forties to go through it. Right. Yeah. I, I guess I knew that. It’s just, it’s just what,

I guess I’m just. It’s not ready for it psychologically. I understand what, you know what, maybe these cramps have nothing to do with menopause, so what, maybe we could run some tests. May be okay with that. Yeah. Okay. Sure. I should be comfortable. I’ll get the nurse, we’ll draw some blood and we’ll look to the bottom of this, okay?

Okay.

Alex, if you are wanting me at this meeting, if it’s another one of your schemes to bring us closer together, it isn’t. Steph, I swear to you, it has nothing to do with. That. Look, Maggie and I have been butting heads like crazy, and sooner than later she’s gonna have enough of it. And I feel like this might be my last chance to prove myself to her.

Stephanie, I promise you my needing your help is totally legit. It is strictly business. Hey, I know you’re with Chad. I respect your relationship and your boundaries. Okay, so what exactly what’d you need from me? I would need you to attend this meeting with me tomorrow. Just like I said, just be by my side.

Keep me on track, make sure I hit all the talking points that Maggie already approved, and there’s nobody else for the job stuff. You’re the best. That’s it. And I truly think that my career at Titan depends on it.

Well, Titan is still one of my top clients. I mean, it would, if you close this deal, it would be a big win for SJ p r. It’s a big win. All right. I’ll help you, Stephanie. Oh my God, thank.

Thank you. You are the best. Did you see that? I’m learning step by step. Boundaries. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I will see you tomorrow and you’ll not regret it, I promise. Thank you.

Well, I guess we’re in no position to turn down help. Considering how shorthanded we are, does that mean I’m part of the team? That means you’re working with the team, okay. For now. Got it. But Michaels, I got my eye on you. Any funny business, any double dealing, and I swear I’ll take you down myself.

Nice place. Your boss has. Here.

Who are you son of?

Oh my God, it’s you.

Come on, go pick up.

Oh, uh, that was fast. Well odds that news,

Nicole, it’s me. Listen, call me as soon as you get this. CJ knows he’s on a war path.

Do you know where Nicole is? Hmm. Well, there are so many possibilities. She could be reminiscing about old times with my big brother rave, or she could be sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric Brady at the Brady Pub. I mean, she’s got so many exes, it’s hard to keep up. I’m glad you find this sort of funny.

Oh no, don’t bother calling her the way she’s feeling. I doubt she’ll pick up. What the hell are you talking about? Why wouldn’t she pick up? Well, she’s at the hospital. Poor thing,

Kayla. I mean, you’re making me nervous. Here. Say something. What is it? Well, you’re not going through menopause. Oh gosh. That’s a relief. I suppose, I mean, like I said, I wasn’t, I wasn’t ready for it and my gut told me that it wasn’t, and for some reason I was just like, no, I’m menopause. In no way. Right. Uh, no way.

Because you’re pregnant.

General Hospital Character Description: Dr. Kevin Collins

JOHN LINDSTROM (Kevin) of GENERAL HOSPITAL – The Emmy-winning daytime drama “General Hospital” airs Monday-Friday (3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/Craig Sjodin)

Dr. Kevin Collins

 

Kevin is a good guy who tries to help people. He’s a psychiatrist who devotes his time to helping others; he has a lot of compassion. His twin brother, Ryan Chamberlain, was a psychopath who came to Port Charles in 1992.  Kevin came to town a year later, wanting to treat his brother. Kevin always felt a lot of guilt because he was more mentally fit than Ryan. When he was on “Port Charles,” we also learned that that their mother, Marilyn, sexually abused Ryan when they were children (and she had also mistakenly did the same to Kevin once, thinking he was Ryan, which resulted in their father taken Kevin away – but leaving Ryan behind).  Ryan came in and out of the lives of Port Charles’ residents and was thought to be dead when he resurfaced in 2018 and took over Kevin’s life for a time, while imprisoning Kevin in his stead in the mental hospital. Kevin was eventually rescued by Franco and Jason, along with Carly and Laura.

Kevin always had a lot of sympathy for his brother, even though he was a killer and attacked Kevin many times. It is his greatest flaw. He always sees the good in people. He met Lucy Coe and fell for her. He helped her to become a better person, but she did let him down many times over the years, until he’d finally had enough, in 2014, when she cheated on him with Scott. They went through a lot together, including adopting little Christina and fighting vampires.

Kevin was temporarily psychotic in 2002 when he was injected with a drug and had a psychotic break.

Kevin has helped many people over the years, including Stone Cates, Carly Corinthos, Franco Baldwin, Lulu Spencer, Morgan Corinthos, Livvie Locke (who turned out to be his daughter) and others. Besides Lucy, he was married to Eve Lambert (on “Port Charles”) and is now married to Port Charles mayor Laura Spencer.

Kevin wrote a best-selling book called “General Homicide.” A psycho named Greg Cooper decided to take his revenge by copying the murders in Kevin’s book.

Kevin is great friends with Mac Scorpio, who was police commissioner for a long time. In 1995, the pair was very funny when they dressed up in drag as Norma & Eve to infiltrate a psychic’s seminar, to prove that she wasn’t really psychic.  Mac is the one who fatally shot Ryan in 2023, but Kevin didn’t blame him. Mac has been more of a real brother to Kevin that Ryan ever was.

Kevin learned in 2023 that he has a niece, Esme (Ryan’s daughter with Heather), and a grand-nephew, Ace.  Esme was a terrible person, but she has amnesia, so she is good (for now).  Ace (among others) was kidnapped by Victor Cassadine in his plot to save the world (by killing millions of people).

General Hospital Character Description: Lucy Coe

ABC’s “General Hospital” stars Lynn Herring as Lucy Coe. (ABC/Ricky Middlesworth)

Lucy Coe

 

Lucy was introduced in 1986 as a “mousy librarian” who tried to give Kevin O’Connor an alibi for his murdering several people.  She was quickly found to be lying on the stand because she and Kevin were having an affair. Lucy was a schemer and liar but also smart and sexy. Lucy slept with Jake while he was married to Bobbie, which started a long feud with the nurse. She married Tony, which didn’t work. Then she married Alan for his money and had an affair with Scott.  Lucy became pregnant by Jake, Scotty and Kevin, but she miscarried each time.

Lucy left town and returned later. Scotty was married to Dominique, who was dying of cancer. Lucy agreed to carry their baby as a surrogate. This was when the kinder side of Lucy started to emerge. She gave birth to their daughter, Serena, but then Scott and Serena left town because he became targeted by the mob. Lucy then took up with Kevin, and he helped her to become a better person. Their relationship had many ups and downs.

The show “Port Charles” was created, which centered around Lucy, Scott, Kevin and many interns.  Lucy developed psychic abilities for a time, which led to her interfering in other people’s lives. Although engaged to Kevin, Lucy became jealous of his friendship with Eve, which led to her tampering with her car, and Serena became blind for a time as a result. This broke up Lucy and Kevin for a long time. She became involved again with Scott, and they got married, raising Serena. Eventually, they divorced.

Lucy and Kevin found their way back together, and he learned that he had a daughter, Livvie (a grown woman).  Lucy discovered that there were vampires in town, and that she was descended from a long line of vampire slayers. She also met her cousin, Rafe, who was also a vampire slayer. After more ups and downs, they finally married. They also adopted a little girl, Christina.

Lucy and Kevin continued to have many struggles, most of them involving the supernatural. Kevin was injected with a drug that made him have a mental breakdown. Lucy fell in love with Ian, who became a vampire. However, he saved her life at the end of the series. Kevin and Lucy both returned (separately) to “General Hospital” in 2004 for Lila’s memorial service.  She returned for good in 2012 to help with the Nurses’ Ball and became involved with a Quartermaine battle for control of ELQ, since she had voting shares.

She was committed to Ferncliff mental facility when she stabbed police detective John McBain with the leg of a chair, believing him to be Caleb (the vampire). It turned out that he was related to Caleb, and he was killed. Kevin and Lucy stayed in town, but she had an affair with Scott, which broke up her marriage.

Lucy continued to be nosy, and manipulative, and resourceful. She blackmailed Ava for a time. She ran the company “Deception” and also wrote a travel guide for Port Charles. She started dating quirky lawyer Martin Grey in late 2021.

In 2023, Lucy worked with Anna to get Victor Cassadine, which resulted in her being targeted by him for death. She was thought to be dead for a while, but she was just hiding out with Martin, Anna and Valentin.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: I’m not crazy, dani

Daniel: Mom’s alive? You actually talked to her? For real?

Summer: I’m not crazy, daniel. I saw her. She told me all about the plan that she had with stark and how it all went wrong and he attacked her and he had to defend herself, so she ended up stabbing him with the scissors.

Daniel: What scissors? What are you talking about?

Summer: It’s true. You can ask chance. Or no, don’t ask chance. But the police must know about it. And how would I know, if I hadn’t talked to our very alive mother?

Daniel: So you’re saying stark is dead because…

Summer: Mom killed him.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Oh, my god.

Summer: Look, I know. I know that you thought that I was crazy. You thought I was spinning out of control and I– I sounded crazy. I mean, I saw mom. For anybody else, that would be impossible. But for our mom, faking her own death to get revenge on diane? You could see it, can’t you?

Daniel: This wasn’t just a what if scenario you were painting?

Summer: No. She explained everything to me.

Daniel: Here. I mean, she was actually here?

Summer: She was. And you and me, we– we’ve got to figure out a way to deal with it, but daniel, the good part in all of this, I mean, the joy, the relief… our mom is alive.

Daniel: Where is she now?

Michael: Good afternoon!

Diane: Well, you seem like you’re in a good mood.

Michael: For good reason.

Diane: Well, I don’t know why. The one person who could clear my name turned up dead.

Michael: And you heard that from jack?

Diane: Oh, yes. He keeps coming to visit. I keep asking him to stop. It’s kind of our thing now.

Michael: Aw. Jack’s doing everything he can to help you, diane.

Diane: I know. I know. And to be honest, I’m kind of glad he’s ignoring my wishes. His and kyle’s caring concern is the only thing getting me through this nightmare. Although the stress is weighing on both of them.

Michael: Hm. Well, maybe I can relieve their burden a bit.

Diane: How?

Michael: I have some good news. By the end of the day, I hope to have you out of here.

Jack: That’s right. I’m going to have to liquidate some capital. I need a cashier’s check today. I know it’s a lot of money, frank. Good. Let me know when it’s ready. Thanks.

Ashley: Hey, what’s that about?

Jack: I am in no mood to discuss that with you. Frankly, I am not interested in sharing any of the details of my personal conversations with you.

Ashley: If you want privacy, jack, go someplace else. This is a common room. You never know who’s gonna hear what around here.

Jack: Boy, and who do we have to thank for that? This latest stunt of yours is reprehensible. That you would choose this time for your dirty little trick. Throwing tucker in all of our faces. This is a new low, even for you.

Tucker: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: The man I was looking for. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Devon: Buy me a cup of coffee? What’s your agenda for wanting to do that?

Tucker: No, no, it’s just that the last time our paths crossed, things were kind of tense between us.

Devon: Yeah, a little bit.

Tucker: Yeah. Some things were said, I said some things. After you rejected my suggestion that you buy mccall and… well, let’s just say it didn’t end well, so I was hoping to buy a cup of coffee and maybe we could, uh, work through something.

Devon: I’m in the middle of my work day here.

Tucker: Yes. No, I understand. Uh, my whole day’s free, so if it’s okay, I can just wait for you.

Devon: No, no, no, no. I don’t want you to wait around for me. I honestly– I don’t feel like taking a break from work and getting coffee.

Tucker: Oh. Okay. Well, then I’ll just tell you what I was gonna tell you.

Devon: Sure.

Tucker: First, uh, I sold mccall to victor newman.

Devon: That’s great news. Everything worked out for the best. Does that mean you’re gonna leave town now or?

Tucker: No. No. On the contrary, I’m staying.

Devon: Oh?

Tucker: Yeah. And you and dominic are the reasons why.

[ Devon exhaling ]

Victoria: It’s a good thing that our dinner meeting got moved to breakfast tomorrow morning.

Nate: It gives us more time to double check the numbers and refine the pitch.

Victoria: By the way, this column demonstrating growth, is really what sells the whole concept. You really outdid yourself with this presentation, I have to say. You continue to impress. On every front.

[ Nate clearing his throat ] What are you thinking?

Nate: Uh, I have to admit, I’m pleased with the analysis. I feel positive about the meeting. We do make a good team. But, uh, there’s something I need to say.

Sometimes you feel like a nut.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Victoria: Okay. I’m listening.

Nate: I want to confirm that we’re putting aside the personal, for now, and focusing strictly on the business side. At least until I can figure out where my head is at.

Victoria: Yes. Yeah, I think that’s a good plan.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: I’M… I’m on board. We’ll focus strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be. And I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Elena: So, this is what traveling on a business trip alone looks like.

Devon: I don’t really know how I fit into your plans since you’ve sold your company.

Tucker: Admittedly, uh, my first impulse was to hop on a plane and leave town and never look back, but I just… I can’t walk away without trying to repair our relationship. And I feel like, even if we can’t share the bond of running mccall together, maybe we can… create some new one.

Devon: You thought you’d start with coffee?

Tucker: Yeah. Oh, I also have a proposal for you.

Devon: Oh, do you?

Tucker: I do.

Devon: Here we go.

Tucker: So, I understand that the anniversary of neil’s death just passed and that abby’s helping you and lily host an event in his honor tonight?

Devon: That’s right. Yeah.

Tucker: Well… I owe neil so much for the love and support that he gave you. Because he raised you better than I ever could. So, what I would like to do is announce tonight, at the event, the coming of the neil winters international jazz festival, which I would produce. Can you think of a better tribute to him?

Diane: You’re getting me out of here? How? A jail break?

Michael: No, nothing so dramatic. I’m just gonna see to it that you are granted release on bail.

Diane: How is that even possible?

Michael: I appealed the no bail order. I thought the judge had a pattern of unjust arraignment decisions and so did the court of appeals. We were just granted a second arraignment, today, and I’m sure this judge, the new judge, judge betts, is gonna be far more understandable.

Diane: Judge betts? As in, all bets are off?

Michael: Ha ha. Ah. I brought you something to wear. Carefully curated from your closet by jack.

Diane: Jack knows about this?

Michael: Who do you think ordered me to find a way to get you out of here? Jack and kyle have been pressing me to do everything I can to help you. Not that I needed to be pressed, by the way.

Diane: I can’t believe this.

Michael: Given your history, your bail, it’s not gonna come cheap. But jack is out there arranging financing as we speak.

Diane: So, you’re saying that I might be able to walk out of here today?

Michael: This is happening. Okay? Now, go get dressed. Guard! Oh, and try not to look like a flight risk.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Summer: I don’t know where mom is. I– I don’t know how to find her. Maybe… maybe she’s still close, keeping an eye on us.

Daniel: Do you think she’d risk sticking around?

Summer: It’s not like anybody is looking for her. But you’re right. She could be long gone by now.

Daniel: I can’t believe that she’s just been letting us suffer like this. She’s been here the whole time just watching us and you’re okay with this?

Summer: No! I’m not okay with it. I– I feel every single thing that you’re feeling right now. I don’t know how to make sense of any of it, but I am just–

[ Summer sighing ] I’m just trying to focus on the fact that we have a chance to have our mom back.

Daniel: That’s good. That’s good. See, you might be able just to gloss over this, but I think I’m gonna need a minute with it.

[ Daniel exhaling ]

Summer: Daniel. She realized that it was a terrible and vicious idea, but… stark was the one that pushed her into it. He manipulated her emotions. He– he played up this idea that everyone had turned their backs on her. He– he forced her into going along with his plan for revenge against diane…

Daniel: He forced her? He forced her! He forced her, summer? She didn’t have to go along with it.

Summer: Look. She felt like everyone had abandoned her. She was hurt and she was frustrated and in a moment of weakness, she gave in. And then it all went wrong.

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: Yeah, I would say that it definitely went wrong, summer. Are you kidding me?

Summer: She regretted it. She regretted it immediately and she wanted to come back to us, but when stark got wind of that, he wouldn’t have any of it and he attacked her and that’s when she had to defend herself and… she killed him and now she’s on the run.

Daniel: You gotta be kidding me. This is a nightmare.

Summer: Mom feels trapped. She feels like there’s no way out of this.

Daniel: Well, there might not be.

Summer: Daniel. We need to face the fact that our mom is far from innocent. I mean, she wanted revenge on diane in a big way. Diane stole the life that she wanted to have with jack and– and she was fighting with us and…

Daniel: With us? Are you blaming us for what she did, now?

Summer: We both said that we felt terrible about the way that we treated her, that shouldn’t change now.

Daniel: She can’t just live her life on the run, summer. She’s got no id, she’s got no money. How would she survive?

Summer: I’m sure that stark took care of all of that. She probably has everything she needs to start a new life.

Daniel: Oh, good. Good. And you’re okay with this? You’re okay with her just disappearing, just like that. No consequences. You’re fine with this? When you have chronic kidney disease.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Summer: I am not happy about what mom did. She asked me to keep this secret, but I couldn’t keep it from you. We were both suffering so much and that’s why I tested the waters with that little “what if” scenario just to see how you might react.

Daniel: But then I pointed out that there were no easy solutions to your little “what if” scenario.

Summer: If mom is found alive, then everything that she did to diane is gonna come out and she could go to prison for that.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Well, if they can’t prove that it was self-defense when she killed stark, then…

Summer: She could be locked up for the rest of her life. And we will lose her all over again. Daniel, we can’t let that happen.

Ashley: Here’s the thing, jack. You didn’t care at all how any of us felt when you moved diane in here. So get over yourself. You’ll just have to learn to tolerate tucker the same way you demanded I learn to tolerate diane.

Jack: I cannot believe you have fallen for that scoundrel again.

Ashley: Scoundrel. What a great word. For your information, I’m in complete control of my actions and my feelings, unlike you. And honestly, having tucker here, how does it really affect you?

Jack: How does it–

Ashley: Yeah.

Jack: He’s under my roof!

Ashley: I forgot this is your house and we’re all just visiting. I wonder how our father would feel about that.

Jack: Tensions are high enough without you adding to them.

Ashley: Why do we have tension in this house? Could it be because of your fiance? Who’s charged with murdering summer’s mother? I don’t know.

Jack: Falsely charged. And diane has triple reason for being here. She is my fiance, she’s kyle’s mother, she’s harrison’s grandmother. She is family, ash, whether you like it or not. Whereas tucker is a veritable stranger. To summer and kyle and harrison. And by the way, how are you going to present tucker to harrison? What– what– what’s he supposed to call him?

Ashley: Aunt ashley’s friend?

Jack: And what’s gonna happen when diane and tucker are under the same roof? Have you thought about that?

Ashley: I have. But you know, diane’s in jail. We don’t know when or if she’s even going to get out.

Jack: Think again. If michael is correct and I suspect he is, diane could be home as soon as today.

Tucker: Yeah, man. Picture it. We kick it off here in genoa city at the neil winters jazz lounge, with the top jazz acts in the world and then we launch a tour of the hottest venues in the world. Go from there.

Devon: Okay. Well, it’s a whole lot to consider within hours, you know. I’m not gonna make a decision about something that big before the party. And the whole point of this evening was just to have close friends and family get together and share memories and listen to music. It’s not meant to be about anything else. No announcements for festivals. And even if it were, it wouldn’t be your announcement to make.

Victoria: Elena, um, this is a surprise. Are you hungry? We haven’t ordered yet. We’re just running a little bit behind–

Elena: Victoria, shut up. I don’t want to hear any more lies or excuses. This is between nate and me. Unless you’re relying on victoria to fight your battles for you. Along with whatever else you’re relying on her for.

Nate: Excuse us, victoria. Would you mind if I spoke to elena alone?

Victoria: Of course, of course. I’ll give you some space.

Nate: What are you doing here? Did you just decide to–

Elena: No. You do not get to question me as if I did something wrong. And please do not let the next words that come out of your mouth be something that makes me disrespect you even more than I disrespect you now. I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth. What is going on between you two?

[ Nate clearing his throat ]

Nate: Victoria and I slept together.

[ Elena gasping ] “Look at this skin, baby.

Elena: I believed in you, I trusted you, I supported you and this is how you repay me?

Nate: Elena, listen.

Elena: No, you listen, nate. You’re pathetic. Sneaking around, acting like you’re on a business trip.

Nate: This is business. I didn’t come here with the intention of sleeping with victoria–

Elena: But you did sleep with victoria. And you did lie. You told me that you were coming here alone.

Nate: I didn’t know how to–

Elena: Do not insult my intelligence, nate. Don’t act like this all just happened out of the blue. I have been suspecting this since the beginning. And when I confronted you about it, you lied to me.

Nate: You’ve got this all wrong.

Elena: Do I really? You told me I was being paranoid. Do you really think so little of me? Honestly, maybe you should. Because up until the moment that I walked into this restaurant, I’ve been a complete fool. I actually held on to hope… that there was some type of misunderstanding. That I was just mistaken somehow, but no, my instincts were right all along.

Nate: Elena, please. I never meant to hurt–

Elena: No, it doesn’t matter what you meant to do, nate. It matters what you actually did. And I cannot believe you’re still trying to gaslight me into believing that I’m wrong and that I’m blowing this out of proportion.

Nate: That is not what I am saying.

[ Elena sighing ]

Elena: You know, you spent a lot of time trying to rekindle our relationship. Impromptu dates. Afternoon lovemaking. Dream vacations. For the two of us. So tell me, was all of that just to overcompensate for your guilt? Come on, nate! Be honest. I want to know how long this has been going on because I finally want to know how much of a liar and a cheater you are.

Tucker: I hear what you’re saying. Back off, right? I was maybe a little over eager. Forgive me.

Devon: No, you don’t– you don’t need to apologize. It was a fine idea. It’s just bad timing.

Tucker: Right. Well, it’s just one idea. I’ve got lots of time to come up with others. Starting to put down roots here actually.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: How so?

Tucker: Well, ashley’s finally starting to forgive me. In fact, she’s asked me to move in with her.

Ashley: I see. So, that’s why you were arranging a cashier’s check. Bail money. You’re crazy if you think she’s gonna be out any time soon. She’s a flight risk and there’s no court on the planet that’s gonna let her loose.

Jack: Michael feels he has just cause to have her bail reconsidered.

Ashley: He really thinks he can pull this off?

Jack: Oh, he’s the best at what he does and his client is innocent. So, yes, I think justice will prevail and diane will be brought home where she belongs.

Ashley: This isn’t her home and she doesn’t belong here. Period.

[ Jack inhaling ]

Summer: I know that this is hard to process. I mean, I think about it all night instead of sleeping and it still never makes any sense.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Yeah, mom, she could have come to the both of us. Why’d she put this all on you?

Summer: Even if we knew her reasons, do you think that they’d make any more sense than the rest of this? Daniel, I’m begging you, don’t say anything about this to anyone.

[ Daniel scoffing ] Who am I gonna tell, summer? And who would believe me anyway?

Summer: I tried to get information out of chance. Thought maybe he could give me something that would help me to see a way to get mom out of this.

Daniel: And?

Summer: Seemed like he was getting suspicious, so I backed off. We’ve got to do everything that we can to protect her until we figure this out.

Daniel: And what if we can’t?

Summer: Maybe it’S… best that we just let her disappear. Start a new life without us.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: And you’re okay with that, hm?

Summer: It would kill me. I would hate it. But if it meant that she was free instead of spending the rest of her life in prison, then yeah. I would do anything to keep her safe. Wouldn’t you?

Daniel: What about diane, summer? Hm? You willing to let her take the fall for a murder that doesn’t exist? You willing to just sit back, watch her get tried, watch her get convicted. You can live with that? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Buzz) morning!

Nate: I had no intention of this happening. You know how much I care about you. Nothing I did was false or out of guilt. I love you. I wanted to be the man that you loved. I honestly tried to fight this.

Elena: But what? You just couldn’t, could you? You were just too mesmerized by the charms of victoria newman to stop yourself?

Nate: It is not like that.

Elena: You know, when your and devon’s relationship blew up, after you tried to sabotage your family, they all accused you of changing. They said that you were ruthless and selfish and I defended you. I tried to encourage you to take the higher path and to fix things with your family because deep down, I thought the man that I was in love with still existed.

Nate: I am still that man.

Elena: You can’t possibly believe that. Look at yourself, nate. You have changed. And not for the good. Unless… this is who you’ve always been. Selfish and ambitious. Either way, you can go straight to hell. Or you can go back upstairs to your hotel room with your boss. It’s over.

Devon: Wow.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: All right. That’s some big news. Uh, does abby know that you’ve moved into the abbott house?

Tucker: That I don’t know.

Devon: Uh. Yeah, I don’t think she realizes how serious things have gotten between you and her mom.

Tucker: Ah, things haven’t gotten all that serious. Ashley has me on this… double secret probation. But I thought, you know, the fact that she’s given me a shot, maybe you’ll be more inclined to do the same.

Devon: I mean, we’re two different people with two very different relationships with you. So just because she’s coming around to trusting you doesn’t mean I’m automatically gonna do the same thing, you know that.

Tucker: Yeah. Uh… okay. Heh. I don’t know. I wish I could be there tonight, but I understand why I can’t be. I will raise a glass to neil and thank him for everything that he did for you that I couldn’T. Hope it goes well.

Devon: Hang on a second. Um, I understand that your idea for this festival is just, it’s your way of trying to build a bridge between us and I appreciate you doing it. So, if you would like to be there tonight, I’m more than happy to invite you.

Tucker: I would love to be there.

Devon: All right.

Tucker: I’d be honored to be there. Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, I thought I’d have heard by now myself, kyle. Um, you know, maybe that’s a good thing. It’s a lot of paperwork when someone’s being released. If she was denied bail, she’d be back in her cell now. Yeah, I promise I will call as soon as I hear anything. The judge denied bail.

[ Laughing ]

Diane: Mm.

Summer: Wait a second. Are you kidding me right now? Diane is far from innocent in all of this. Are you forgetting the fact that she abandoned kyle as a kid? And when she finally came back, it was one secret, one lie after another and she’s been going after jack the entire time, denying it every step of the way. She is the one that brought stark here. She brought all of this on herself. She brought it onto all of us too!

Daniel: Diane might not be innocent in general, summer, but she’s not guilty of murder.

Summer: Maybe this is karmic justice coming back to bite her. I mean, would it– would it really be that bad to get a little break from diane? I mean, even just for a little while, while we try to figure out a way to bring our mom back home safely.

Daniel: Listen to yourself. You hear yourself talking right now? Because you sound just like mom. Did you forget that diane is your husband’s mother? That– that it’s harrison’s grandmother? I mean, how are you gonna look kyle in the face every single day knowing the truth. Knowing that his innocent mother is locked up behind bars somewhere? Our mother did the same damn thing! Our mother faked her own death just like diane. She really any better than her? Up at 2:00am again?

Michael: I don’t know if you’re going for some world record hug, but I think you should know that, uh, all this time is billable.

Jack: Worth every penny, michael, you had a plan, you made it work. I am beyond grateful.

Michael: I don’t think I had any choice. As I recall, you ordered me to make it happen.

Diane: And you did, because you’re brilliant and I’m sorry if I gave you a hard time.

Michael: You were under a great deal of stress. Look, dealing with frustrated clients is part of the job.

Diane: You should have seen him, jack. Michael’s argument was so eloquent and impassioned and by the time he was done, the judge couldn’t help but release me.

Michael: Well, when you know in your heart what you’re doing is right, it’s easy. But thank god for judge betts. He got on board and here we are.

Jack: You are to be commended, counselor.

Michael: Now wait. Hold. There was a moment– there was a moment that I thought betts was going to deny us and all I could hear in my head, jack, was your voice saying “make it happen.” So, I suggested some more terms to diane’s release, and bam, he went for it.

Jack: More terms?

Diane: I’m under house arrest, which means I have to wear an ankle monitor. Just– just throughout the trial. And for now, the price of my freedom was that and handing over my passport.

Michael: And of course, the significant bail amount?

Diane: Yes, thank you. I am so grateful for that. Hey, why do you look so relieved? Weren’t you confident about the outcome?

Jack: I was worried. In case you hadn’t noticed, good luck has not been on our side.

Diane: Hm.

Victoria: So, what happened?

Nate: Nothing good.

Victoria: I guess you didn’t tell her beforehand that I was going to be joining you in L.A.

Nate: I knew it would cause a big argument, so I just avoided it.

Victoria: Maybe it’s because I’m not the only one that was hoping that something might happen between us here.

Nate: I didn’t come on this trip with that intention. I would never purposely deceive elena. That is not who I am.

Victoria: I’m not saying that you did anything consciously. Maybe there’s another possibility.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: Maybe subconsciously you were– you were hoping that you would get caught. You know, it’s just a way to force the issue and try to end your relationship with her.

Nate: And let elena find out like that?

[ Nate scoffing ] Makes me sound like a hell of a coward. Saving myself some awkwardness to cause her terrible pain?

Victoria: Okay. One thing is obvious. Your actions show that maybe you weren’t truly as happy in this relationship as you tried to tell yourself and everyone else.

Tucker: Hey.

[ Ashley groans ] Uh oh, what did jack do now?

Ashley: It’s just so absurd.

Tucker: Really?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Did he try to convince you to kick me out?

Ashley: No, he wishes, but no. He’s trying to break diane out of jail apparently.

Tucker: That’s great. Really? A jail break? That’s exciting.

Ashley: No. Not really. No, he’s trying to bail her out of jail actually.

Tucker: Oh, that’s less exciting. Although it might be fun to bump into diane over a morning coffee.

Ashley: Please just stop. That is the stuff of nightmares. How was your day?

Tucker: Uh, I just came from seeing devon.

Ashley: Oh, that’s good news.

Tucker: Yeah. Except that… I let the cat out of the bag.

Ashley: What cat.

Tucker: I may have let slip that I’ve moved in with you.

Ashley: Oh!

Tucker: So you might want to let abby know before she hears it from him.

Ashley: I did not want her to hear that from anybody. But I mean, why did you do that?

Tucker: I’m sorry. I– I regretted it as it was coming out of my mouth. But, this is exactly why you asked me to move in with you in the first place.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Tucker: Yeah. Just… to figure out us. If we belong together. Right?

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Under all circumstances, cohabitating with jack and diane and dealing with my big mouth, with my son who is living with your daughter. See how it is. This is, uh, this is us.

Ashley: This is fun.

Tucker: This is glorious, complicated us.

Victoria: Hey, what happened to your plan to compartmentalize business and personal? You think you can still do that?

Nate: Hm. Given my private life just exploded? I’m not sure I can.

Victoria: I understand. You know, there’s a huge difference between compartmentalizing and ignoring though. I’m so sorry about what happened today. I really am. I certainly didn’t mean to deceive or hurt elena either. If you need some time to step away and process everything that happened…

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: Yeah. I need to take some time.

Ashley: So, any luck with that big mysterious plan of yours?

Tucker: I had this fantastic idea. I thought it was fantastic. Uh, of the neil winters international jazz festival.

Ashley: I love that idea.

Tucker: I know, I do too. And I was hoping to announce it at the tribute tonight.

Ashley: How did devon respond–

Tucker: Shut it down.

Ashley: Oh. Are you okay? How do you keep handling all this rejection from him?

Tucker: Well, it wasn’t a total bust. He did appreciate the gesture and he invited me to the event tonight. Which reminds me, would you happen to be in need of a date?

Ashley: Uh, yeah.

Tucker: I gotta come up with something to show devon that my intentions are genuine and I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’ve got limited time to come up with it.

Jack: You have no idea how grateful I am to have you home. Harrison is going to be thrilled. He asked about you every single day.

Diane: Oh, no. How will we explain where I’ve been?

Jack: Oh, easy, we told him you were on a trip. You can just say you came back early.

Diane: Oh, that’s good. I can’t wait to see his little face.

Jack: I’ve already texted kyle with the good news. He’s on his way. He wasn’t able to reach summer yet.

Diane: Well, I have a feeling summer won’t be as excited to see me as you and kyle.

Jack: Well, we don’t know that.

Diane: I do. And I can hardly blame her. I mean, I’m out here walking around and her mother’s gone. You know, maybe I should be staying somewhere else.

Jack: No, no, no. House arrest means this house. Here with me. I am not letting you out of my sight.

Diane: Oh, jack.

Jack: No, I mean it. I am more determined than ever to marry you as soon as possible. If I’ve learned nothing else from all of this, I never want to lose you.

Diane: Aw.

Summer: Obviously, we can’t let diane be punished for something that never happened. All I’m saying is that we need to clear our mom before we clear diane.

Daniel: I don’t know, summer. I think that the only way out of this is to go to the police and tell them the truth. We can go to chance. We told him what happened. He’ll– he’ll help us. We can’t do this on our own.

Summer: Daniel! Wait. Slow down. Sure, chance is understanding, but there’s gotta be another way.

Daniel: I am worried about mom and diane. Trust me. Honesty is the only way that’s gonna fix the situation. Mom comes home, she will be dealt with in the most fair and supportive way possible. I’m going to the police.

Summer: No.

Daniel: Summer! We are accessories to a crime now.

Summer: No, we can’t do that. We need more time. We can’t go to the police, when we don’t have a solution. That would put mom in prison for the rest of her life. Daniel, I promised her that i wouldn’t tell anyone, especially the cops.

Daniel: You told me!

Summer: Because I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I needed someone that I could trust. I needed an ally that would understand. Don’t tell me that I made a mistake. Please tell me that you are that person. Daniel, wait! Are you that person? Are you?

Daniel: I don’t know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Soft music]

Hey.

Hey, hi.

You thinking about willow?

Yeah, is it that obvious?

Well, she’s your daughter. We’re all thinking about her.

I don’t suppose you have news?

On liesl or anybody else, no, unfortunately. But I have been doing some digging on who tipped off the sec about carly and drew’s insider trading.

Oh. What’d you find?

[Monitor beeping]

[Tense music]

It was exhaustion, right? I mean, first, it was all the excitement from the wedding, then the sec showing up. I mean, the whole day zapped willow of her energy. That’s why she passed out, right?

Willow was exhausted, for sure, especially for someone in her condition.

Yeah.

What?

I’m afraid it’s more than that.

I’m sorry. I know that we put this on for a distraction.

But you can’t be distracted.

Between trina, and willow, and now my mom and drew–

I get it. It’s too much.

What if drew and liesl don’t make it back?

One thing I learned in the military is that you have to hold out hope, even in the worst of circumstances. You never know when the tide is going to shift.

Well, can it shift now, please? Hope?

It’s a powerful thing.

[Sighs] Then I will hold on to it. And I will pray that drew gets everybody home safely. He has to. Willow’s life depends on it.

My grandmother is on the island with drew?

Yeah, she insisted, come hell or high water.

I knew your grandmother was supposed to be a badass, but to face down victor cassadine?

Yeah, it almost makes you feel sorry for the guy. Almost.

Stand down.

Very wise. It’d be a real shame if she dropped it.

You drop it, you die.

But so do you. I’m thinking that just might be worth it.

[Dramatic music]

[Grunts]

There’s no way out,

at least not that way.

You’re dead.

What is death

but another country?

Oh, come, my son.

Let me take you away

from everything and everyone.

[Monitor beeping]

Wait, wait, you have no idea the power you have in your hands right now.

I think I do.

Then think of willow. Tell her, liesl. If you die, so does your innocent niece.

Better to lose one innocent life than a whole world of them.

Wait, what are you doing?

Saving humanity.

[Dramatic music]


Ok, so what made willow collapse tonight?

Look, dr. Randolph is the specialist. I’m reluctant to say too much before you speak with her.

Look, tj, I trust you. More importantly, willow trusts you. Just tell me what’s going on.

Willow has some bleeding that’s not clotting.

Right, because of her low blood cell count.

We will be giving her platelets to get that under control. But all of this is an indication that her body is breaking down and she can’t produce enough cells to fight back.

Ok, we all know that. We’re running out of time. We got that. Most importantly right now, I need to know, what are we gonna do about it?

[Somber music]

Tonight was michael and willow’s wedding. And for a little while, nothing else mattered– just the way they looked at each other and the promises they made. I mean, what if drew and liesl don’t make it back in time?

Drew kane is an ex-navy seal, remember? Those guys, more than anyone, know how to finish the job.

I believe it. Drew’s gonna get everybody home safe. But when he does, then he and my mom have the sec breathing down their necks.

Sonny is working on that.

And that’s great that sonny’s working on that. And he’s got the sec following a false trail, and that’s bought some more time– for now. But even if everything works out and everything goes according to plan, sonny is still gonna end up in prison. Unless you’re the one having second thoughts about that?

So far, I’ve come up empty. But it’s just a matter of time before whoever tipped off the sec about carly and drew is gonna be uncovered. And I got my contacts in dc. They’re, you know, trying to figure out what kind of case they have against drew. That’s if he comes back.

No, don’t say that. Drew has to come back. He has to bring everybody back. He has to bring aunt liesl back, or else willow–

you know I’m praying for that. You know that, right? But the sec is not gonna wait for carly.

Wait, are you saying that they might charge carly even without drew here?

Well, I don’t know about the rest of it. But I tell you what, I’m gonna make sure that carly is not left holding the bag.

But, sonny, what if that’s not possible?

Let’s go, scorpio.

I’ve got to talk to the director.

If you’re referring to frisco jones, he’s been replaced. If you mean the new director, he’s not taking your calls.

Well, you call him. Tell him to abort the mission before the bureau bombs that island.

Do I need to remind you you’re under arrest?

Do I need to remind you there are lives are at stake?

Innocent lives!

There’s nothing I can do about that. Now, come on.

Of course there is.

I’m taking you into custody.

[Clears throat] I’m so sorry, but I’m afraid da scorpio is not going anywhere.

Says who?

Says me.

[Dramatic music]

My grandmother is more than a match for uncle victor, but it’s not gonna be a fair fight. This place is crawling with guards.

Let me worry about laura, ok? The three of you get to safety.

I can’t just leave her behind.

That’s exactly what you’re gonna do. There’s a seaplane waiting offshore on the east side of the island. You guys get there, and get the hell out of here.

What about you?

I’ll be fine.

You don’t know that.

[Sighs]

You don’T. I can’t lose you now, not when we don’t even know if I–we just– I just–

[Sighs]

[Tense music]

You may be willing to die for mankind, but I doubt these two share that view.

Yet again, you couldn’t be more wrong.

Laura, you need to know–

silence her!

[Muffled speech]

Did you really think that I would hold my own life more precious than the lives of my children and my grandchildren?

Oh, very well. If you are determined to play the role of a martyr, go ahead, do it. Die for your cause before I kill you for it.


[Tense music]

Oh, I’m sorry. Did I forget to mention the pathogen has to be activated by uv light? In other words, good old-fashioned sunshine. Otherwise, it’s quite harmless. Isn’t that right, liesl?

I tried to warn you.

I’m sorry, laura. Your martyrdom will just have to wait for another day.

And her?

No, not yet. We need to keep the good doctor breathing just long enough to test the antidote on our guinea pig.

[Dramatic music]

No, I’m not going anywhere with you. I’m going home with charlotte and anna.

You’re dying.

It’s time to accept reality.

You were never good enough,

valentin.

Not for anna, not for anyone.

That’s not true.

They’ll all be

better off without you.

Agh!

[Sobbing]

Oh, there, there.

Oh, it won’t be long now.

You’re not gonna lose me, but you guys need to get out of here right now.

The satellite phone.

What?

There’s a satellite phone behind the bar. I can call jordan on the way and tell her to send help.

Great plan. I don’t have to tell you how hugely important that young lady is to me.

I know.

Spencer, I’m counting on you to get her out of here to safety. The pilot has orders to take off as soon as you’re on board. Do not wait for me, no matter how much she begs you.

Understood.

Spencer, I need to know that I can trust you.

You can.

Ok, got it.

All right, it’s time to move. You guys, just be smart. Let’s be safe.

That goes double for you. Curtis? I know everything’s so uncertain right now, but I– I–

I know, kiddo. Me, too.

Is there anything we can do for willow? Just name it, and it’s done.

Again, I will defer to whatever dr. Randolph thinks is best.

Dr. Randolph isn’t here! I’m sorry.

Don’t apologize.

Just tell me what I can do to bring my wife home.

Well, that’s just it, michael. I don’t think willow should go home, not if the goal is to buy her more time.

Of course, that’s the goal.

Is hospice an option?

It’s always an option. They will definitely keep willow comfortable until she transitions.

Transitions?

Oh.

What, to death?

I hate this, too, michael.

Ok, what if she stays here?

Then

we can treather symptoms as they develop, increasing her chances of surviving until drew gets back. But I will not lie to you. Willow will be in a great deal of pain due to her enlarged lymph nodes putting pressure on her organs.

Right, ok. This just keeps getting better and better. So either I bring my wife home to die comfortably, or she stays in the hospital suffering to survive or maybe– maybe not.

It’s a horrible choice, I know.

But one you have to make.

What makes you think I’m having second thoughts?

Because you see something in sonny that michael and I don’T. And I get it. I used to see it, too. It’s not as easy to turn him in as you thought, is it?

Michael hired me to do a job, and I intend to finish it. A job that if I hadn’t taken, it would have never brought me to you.

So no regrets?

It’s not regret to admit that two things can be true.

Such as?

Sonny is breaking federal law violating the nsa and he deserves to be in prison. He also saved my life when he didn’t have to. So when the feds come for him,I’m gonna feel bad, but my part in this is already over. I got the footage. I gave it to michael. It’s in your brother’s hands now.

Damn ned. I tell you, I could kill him for putting carly and drew in this position.

Ned?

It’s what the quartermaines do. I mean, you know what? Michael’s distracted. Valentin and drew were off the grid. So now, ned is gonna make his move.

Well, it’s a good thing that the sec didn’t hold carly overnight.

And I bought drew some time, also, right?

Yeah, it was really wonderful of you to do that. I’m sure michael and carly were very grateful.

You know, I’m not looking for a pat on the back.

No, of course you’re not. It doesn’t mean that I can’t give you one.

Ok, here’s the thing. I’m gonna do everything that I can for my family. You understand? I don’t care what’s going on between us. If somebody messes with one of us, they mess with all of us. And I’m telling you right now, if ned had anything to do with it, he better brace himself.

You know, I’ve been thinking about what you said about, you know, flying down to the islands.

You said you didn’t want to go.

I know I did, but I reconsidered. How soon can we leave?

[Dramatic music]


I thought you didn’t want to go, with everything up in the air with willow?

Yeah, well, I’m still a little uneasy about it, but you made a point when you said, you know, you know, we can get back to port charles in, what, a few hours? And, sonny, I really think that we need a little time alone to recharge and regroup. And, you know, when we get back home, we’ll be even more ready to help whoever needs us. Unless– I know that you’re dealing with a big business thing. Is that gonna stop you from getting away?

I took care of it.

Ok. Is that a yes?

Just let me make a call.

Ok.

[Laughter]

Listen, I doub t thatmichael is gonna call the feds on sonny any time soon. He is so focused on willow.

Totally understandable.

But it’s not great for you.

Until michael puts him away, I’m always gonna be looking over my shoulder, wondering if this is the end, if he’s onto me. Who wants to live like that?

Not me.

Not me, either.

Still, for this last little bit of time before all hell breaks loose and my family is divided into team sonny and team michael, I’m just gonna enjoy the peace. And I’m so glad that I get to enjoy it with you.

[Soft music]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Sighs]

What’s wrong?

[Sighs]

Boss?

Brick is using my jet. I need you to contact the private airstrip and have them charter a plane as soon as possible. I’ll send you the contact information.

Destination?

Paradise.

What did he want?

A plane out of town tonight.

You don’t think he knows what you and michael are planning?

No, if he was on to me, I would be the one leaving town. Sonny will make sure that I never come back.

You and willow are married now. So while she’s unconscious, what happens next is up to you.

Willow wouldn’t want to die in a hospital. The lights, the sound, she hates it all so much.

[Sighs]

Ok, michael, I know you want to respect that. But what if keeping her here means she doesn’t die?

There are so many variables, none of which I have any control over. I don’t know. I don’t know. I got–I need to think.

Thank you. Thank you for being so steady around him. I mean, I know this is torture for you, too.

I just wish I could do more for both of them.

We all do.

You hanging in there?

Trying. You know, I just want to be strong for michael, but most of the time, I just want to crawl up in a ball.

But you don’T. I mean, that’s what matters, carly, you’re here by his side, offering any support he needs. Michael’s lucky to have you.

He’s lucky to have you, too. We all are.

The last thing that I want is for you to be in more pain. Make that the second to last thing that I want.

[Sighs] Oh, my god, willow, how did we get here?

We’re getting married.

[Both laugh]

That’s the plan, yes.

No, like, we are getting married. I’m going to be your wife.

I can’t wait.

I know we have this crazy, scary thing looming over us, but I don’t want it to overshadow the amazing fact that we are marrying each other because we love each other. Whether we get 60 hours or 60 years, you’re my guy. What?

I don’t know, it’s just the last time I’m seeing you before you become my wife. I just want to remember this moment.

I’ll never forget it.

I have to tell you how thankful I am. I mean, for your friendship, for your– your courage, your love, your compassion. Most importantly, how you’ve been such an amazing mother to wiley and now amelia. I mean, the fact that I getto call you my wife…

michael?

Hey, hey.

Hey, listen, you need to be really careful. Nothing gets past sonny. And if he’s starting to suspect–

don’t worry. I’ll be careful.

[Cell phone ringing]

Mom?

Honey, it’s willow.

What happened?

I’m on my way.

Everything ok?

Willow has been taken to the hospital.

Ok, I’ll drive you.

No, no, you have to stay here.

You’re upset.

You have to deal with sonny. You have to deal with sonny, and I have to be with my family.

I’ll walk you out.

That, I’ll take you up on.

This is a matter of national– no, make that international security. You have no jurisdiction here.

Well, that’s actually for a judge to decide and the precedent set by chandler versus the united states.

Oh, I just love it when she talks precedents.

This is your doing, isn’t it?

I have faith in mayor collins and our friends. Just give them a chance to come through.

Faith is nice, but those bombs are a sure thing.

The only sure thing in your future is a discussion about da scorpio’s civil rights. I would take those handcuffs off of him, unless you want them to be a part of that discussion. Now, by all means, contact your superiors. I, of course, will be contacting the federal district court.

[Dramatic music]

I hate to say it, but hursley may be right. If laura and the rest of them fail–

they won’T.

It’s not gonna matter much unless I can talk that new director into calling off the drone strike.

Ok, I think we should be all good with these. But I think the baby’s gonna need another blanket because it’s really cold out there, ok?

Trina, wait.

I’ll be right back.

No, I don’t like the idea of you going off on your own right now.

Two minutes. You can time me.

Hey, I wish I could have gone with curtis, but I couldn’t leave you behind, yeah. It’s just us, buddy. It’s you, and me, and–

[Footsteps] That was fast. You’re not trina.

No, I most certainly am not.

I’m sorry. I don’t think I ever got your name.

No, but I know yours, young mr. Cassadine. And you and that baby are not going anywhere.

[Dramatic music]

Bring her over here. Put her with the doctor. Well, since I interpreted the meaning of operation demeter, you are now–well, in a word, useless to me.

[Loud bangs]

[Alarm blaring] What in the devil is that?

Did you bring a plus one?

I thought you did.

I knew there were more of them. Go, find them, kill them.

[Explosion]

Oh, my god, oh!


[Grunting]

Agh!

Watkins, go get her!

[Dramatic music]

There’s plenty of security on this ship– nice, big fellows who can stop you from leaving. But we don’t want to upset the baby by involving him in a struggle. So why don’t you just hand him over?

Better idea, you go back to the stateroom and forget you ever saw us.

The senior mr. Cassadine hired me to care for the baby. I won’t disappoint him. Anyone on this channel, there’s been a breach. I need backup–

[Dramatic music]

Less than two minutes.

Your timing is perfect.

Did you get through to josslyn?

Yeah, yeah, she should be here any time.

How is she handling everything?

Like mother, like daughter. You know, she puts on a brave face, but like everyone else, she’s terrified.

Who are you calling terrified?

Hey.

Hi. Oh.

You’re right, I’m terrified.

Me, too. Me, too.

How you feeling?

I’m ok, I think. What happened?

You, um– you passed out. We took you to the hospital.

We were talking about sonny.

Yeah, you know what? We’re done with that conversation, I promise. But first–

we need to focus on my health.

You need that transplant, willow.

I know. While we wait,

I want to behome with you and the kids.

I want that, too, for all of us. But, willow, your best chance– your only chance is to stay here in the hospital.

[Soft music]

So here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna go by your place. We’re gonna get your clothes, put them in a bag, and then we’ll go to the airstrip.

It sounds perfect.

As a matter of fact, you don’t have to bring a lot of clothes, right?

[Laughs] Is that so?

Yeah, that’s so.

[Laughter]

Boss. Nina.

Hey, dex.

Ready? You ready?

Everything’s been arranged.

All right.

There’s been a development.

The plane?

With willow.

[Monitor beeping]

Oh, don’t fight it.

The pain will soon be over.

I will take complete agony over an eternity with you.

Oh, such a waste.

Ah, I could have made

a legend of you, valentin.

Instead, you’re just

one more corpse.

[Dramatic music]

[Grunting]

Don’T.


What about willow? Did she have another episode?

I don’t have any details.

Well, dex, whatever you know, please.

Carly called josslyn and said willow collapsed and is being rushed to gh. Ok, joss went to meet her mom. I came straight here.

[Soft music]

Call the airstrip, cancel the flight. Let’s go.

Is willow gonna be ok?

I don’t know. Her only chance is a transplant.

And we can’t have that without liesl.

God, where are they?

What, you still haven’t heard from drew?

No. I mean, they have to be ok, and they have to come home now.

Well, how much time do we have?

Not enough.

What does dr. Randolph say?

I haven’t talked to her. But it’s tj’s opinion that if you’re gonna hold on until drew and liesl get back home, you’re gonna have to stay in the hospital for treatment.

I can come in every day.

No, no, no, they want you constantly monitored so that they can treat any symptoms that may arise in real time. Willow, it’s the only way.

Assuming drew and liesl make it back in time and assuming that they make it back at all.

You can’t think that way. You can’t think that way. They’re gonna come back. And there’s a whole team here of specialists who are in your corner that want to ensure that you’re alive when they do. But, willow, it starts with you. You have to do your part.

And my part is spending what could be my last days away from my family?

Willow, I’m gonna bring wiley and amelia here whenever I can. But, yes, I know this goes against everything that you wanted. But we’re down to the wire here, willow. This is our– this is our last shot. Just please tell me you’ll take it.

Ok, nanny from hell is locked in the stateroom. She’s gonna have a nasty headache when she wakes up, but she should be ok.

Ok.

[Pounding on door] Ok, oh! What do we do?

Exactly what curtis said. We need to get my brother to safety. The seaplane isn’t gonna wait there forever.

Ok, ok. Oh, no.

What?

I forgot. I was supposed to call jordan for reinforcements.

Ok, ok. Come here, buddy, it’s ok.

Agh!

[Dramatic music]

All right, laura, step away.

All right, I got these two. You go kill that english bitch.

Oh!


Hey, how you holding up?

How are you holding up? You’re the one who got dragged out of a wedding by the sec.

Oh, I don’t care about the charges. I mean, I care about the charges, but I care more about willow and michael and what they’re going through. I mean, willow was weak before. I just hope this sec situation doesn’t push her past her breaking point.

Well, that’s on ned.

Yeah. Yeah, it sure the hell is on ned. What he did was vindictive and cruel. And, honestly, I didn’t expect it from him.

What, you just thought those were lines he wouldn’t cross?

Yeah, yeah, I guess I did. I mean, I know that the quartermaines play dirty. I mean, hell, they blackmail each other over their morning coffee. But the way everyone rallied around michael and willow for the wedding, I mean, I thought it was sincere. Months ago, I get it. But now when willow is waiting for a transplant, I just– it’s thoug htless,and it’s reckless. And I really didn’t think that this was ned, but maybe it is, you know? What am I talking about? I’m the one who gave him the opening. It’s all on me.

Mom.

No, it is, because drew and michael, separately and together, begged me not to get involved. They didn’t want me to buy any aurora stock, but I did it because I had to help. So much for helping. Ugh.

Ok, ok, so buying that stock wasn’t great.

It was terrible, josslyn. It was terrible.

I understand, mom, but you were just trying to help somebody that you loved, ok? Intentions matter.

Yeah, they sure do. The road to hell is paved with them.

Mom. What you set out to do was good. And what ned set out to do was harmful. Again, you were just trying to help someone you loved, and ned wanted to inflict damage.

Ned called in the sec because my actions made me and drew vulnerable.

And that’s awful. But, still, I mean, I have trouble believing that ned wanted them to show up at the wedding.

No, no, I can’t imagine anybody would want to do that to michael and willow, you know, they’d want to ruin their special day.

[Sighs]

Their special day wasn’t ruined, mom.

Josslyn, come on.

Mom, it wasn’T. It wasn’T. You saw the looks on their faces when they exchanged their vows. They were so happy, and they were so in love. And I genuinely believe that that’s what’s gonna get willow to hold on.

I want to believe that, too. I do.

[Cell phone ringing]

I have to take this.

Ok.

Hi. Is everything ok?

Everything’s fine. I just saw sonny and nina, and I thought you’d want to know–

that they just got to the hospital?

I take it they’re already there.

Just arrived.

Sorry it wasn’t more of a heads-up.

[Dramatic music]

I do want to go home.

Willow–

let me finish. But if drew is putting his life on the line to bring liesl back to us, then I need to do whatever I can to make that risk worth it.

So you’ll stay and fight?

With everything in me.

Come on, we’re leaving.

Victor!

Goodbye, laura. Come on, move.

[Gasps]

[Gunshot]

Good shot.

Thanks. You ok?

Yeah.

Laura, you all right?

Yeah, it’s ok. It’s just a graze.

Wait, where’s victor?

He took obrecht, and the pathogen, and he ran out.

Jordan? Jordan, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you. Where are you?

On the “haunted star” with spencer and ace.

Trina, listen to me. You have to get off that boat now.

We know, but it’s just–

no buts. There are drones on the way to drop bombs on the entire island, and we have no way to stop them. Take the baby and get to the seaplane before it’s too late.

Come on, come on, keep moving.

It’s no use, victor. You’ll never leave this island alive.

On the contrary, we’re gonna leave just the way we came. Now get moving. Come on.

Going somewhere?

All right, we gotthe guards tied up in the hall. They’re not going anywhere.

Ok, you’ve got to go after victor. We can’t let him escape with the pathogen.

I’m on it.

You ok?

Yeah.

Where’s valentin?

He’s in the isolation room.

Isolation?

Victor used him as a test subject for the pathogen.

Oh, my god.

Ok, let’s go. Let’s find trina and spencer now.

All right.

[Computer beeping]

What the hell is that?

I know that sound.

Let go. It’s easier that way. Or don’t you trust your own mother?

There’s only one person I trust with my life. There’s only one.

Laura, we have no time for this. We’ve got to get out of here and catch up with the others before that seaplane takes off without us.

We can’t go right now.

Why not?

This computer, it’s like the one that controlled mikkos’ machine– the one from 40 years ago.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know that expression if feels good to be true, it probably is. I’ve heard it, yes. Okay. Well, I need you to tell me that that is not. The case with how I feel right now that spending an evening together snuggling in your arms is actually happening. That it’s true. It’s real. Okay. Not only is it true and real and actually happening, it’s gonna keep happening for the rest of our lives.

Oh, I’ve missed this.

Oh. Are you aware that this is a common space for all the residents in this home? And I having to witness you two. Swapping spit might be an unsavory, if not nauseating site for those of us who also live here. Good evening to you too, ej. See, I was hoping that you’d stick around tonight since we do have business to discuss.

It’ll have to wait. I don’t think it should see. It’s about my position as consultant and you and your performance, which I’ve observed for what, two days now. You instrument, I’d like to show you my notes.

For you. Hello Eric. This is Sweets. How are you girlfriend? Oh, is that what I am now for girlfriends, ah, that you are now that we’re officially a couple. Mm-hmm. I figured it was time for me to step up in the romance department, hence the rose. I see. Well, normally I’m not the type who goes for these like romantic gestures, but for you, I think I’ll make an exception.

Mom. Why are you in the dark? Hmm. I was meditating. What just when do you meditate? Ever since I started getting those damn panic attacks. Your friend Talia recommended it and you know, I was skeptical at first, but you know what? It actually works. My anxiety level is weirder. Oh, ah, okay. Well, uh, that’s great.

I’m glad Talia was able to help. Mm-hmm. Uh, be sure to thank her for me next time you see her. Well, that would be tonight. Talia and I are going on a date.

You are so beautiful and damn you sexy. Chanel dere is not gonna be able to resist you, so you keep saying. Come here.

No, I know this is difficult for you. Yeah, but it means so much to me. Yeah, you keep saying that too. I wish to. I felt like shutting down a balcony was enough. But look, the last thing I wanna do is make you unhappy. All right. Since the legal system won’t prosecute her for, for killing my mother and driving my father to drink himself to death.

Well, I’ve had to assume that responsibility myself. I have another choice. Don’t you see that? I do. And I know that we’ve gone over this a thousand times, babe, but. This plan, Colin, it’s, it’s all sorts of twisted. You’re asking me to seduce her and, and then break her heart. I know this is gonna be challenging for you cuz of your kind heart.

Talia, I have faith in you all and your loyalty to me and your ability to do whatever you set your mind to, which is why I know you can handle this.

Actually, come on. I don’t think that I can,

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on a second. Would you slow down? Hey, let’s just think this through, right? What’s to think about? You heard what the hardware store owner said. He remembers seeing Talia. Come in and make a copy of a key. Mm-hmm. The same day that someone probably made a copy of Paulina’s Key to break into our office probably being the operative word.

This is all just a theory. We don’t have any proof yet, but when you factor everything else, all the little coincidences. Oh holes and tell your story. It’s pretty clear that the person who’s been targeting Chanel and Paulina, this is my very own sister.

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

But why Jada? Why would Talia go after Pauly and Anne and Chanel? I mean, she didn’t even know them before they moved to Salem, right? A possible motive. Could she have? I wish to. Hell on you. But you don’t. You don’t. Right? So we could be completely off base here. What if we’re not? What if Talia is the one who trash Paul in his office?

What if she sent those threatening text messages and, and worse, what if she was the one who drugged those biscuits? I mean, my God, that’s a felony. Me. She go to prison. Okay. Hey, you’re getting way ahead of yourself here. Right. There’s still a lot that we don’t know. We know enough. The timeline, for instance, you know, it just occurred to me, Paulina and Chanel, they didn’t start being harassed.

Until around the time my sister should open town completely outta the blue. That may be, but it also coincides with the time the Sloan’s civil case got thrown out and she vowed revenge upon them. The Sloan has an alibi. The night were drugged, which we already agreed was. Shaky at best. Yeah, but look, you’re the one who told Abe yourself.

Then we need to look at this with an open mind. Let’s not fix Abe on one suspect here, right? It’s possible the culprit could be someone we haven’t even considered yet. What do you mean you can’t handle it? Are you saying that you’re not gonna help me anymore? Answer me, Talia. Look, it’s just. I don’t like deliberately hurting someone like this, Colin, and I just don’t understand why.

You’re just so cool with me being with somebody else. I’m not cool with it. I hate the idea, but as I keep telling you, there is no other way for this to work. Yeah, and why not? Chanel likes guys too. You could be the one to seduce, sir. Don’t you think I would If that made any sense at all. But you know down well, that’s too risky.

If anyone knew that I was in town, I would be the number one suspect for everything that’s gone on. Not even my sister Sloan can know that I’m in town.

You are way more lover than I am. I bet. Chanel is well on our way to falling for you. Yeah, and that just makes me feel worse. Damnit Colin. Okay. All of this. Yemen, I’ve, I just wanted to be over so we can packages feed us. Believe me, we’re almost there. All right. Once Chanel Dupree feels a fraction of the pain that she put my family through, I’ll be able to move on because I will have honored my parents’ memory.

I get justice for them. I thought you knew how much that meant to me. I do. I really do. I promise then we’re good.

Yeah, far good,

but I better get going. I have to change from my dates.

I love you. I love you.

You are dating Claudia Hunter. It well, technically it’s our first date, but if it goes well, there could be more. Oh, interesting. Uh, my, I thought she was, was what? A totally adorable, completely gorgeous young woman of color. You know what I mean? I just assumed she was straight. Well, actually, I, I kind of thought that too, but then today she, she kissed me and it was just out of the blue.

Oh, so you were surprised, huh? Yes. And no, I think for, for a while now, I kind of thought we were vibing, but I wasn’t sure if it was just my imagination. But I, I think she was hesitant about ex expressing her feelings because she’s only ever dated men before. Oh, really? Huh. So first, Allie, I’m tired. You seem to have this.

Superpower to turn straight girls into my sexual assault. Okay, mama. That is not how it works, but I mean, I can’t help it if people of all genders and sexual orientations happen to find me Irres. Oh, you have to tell me. I know my baby girl is quite the gem, like mother, like daughter. Mm-hmm. Definitely. But, but darling, what?

Are you sure you’re ready to start dating again?

Chanel baby. I know how much you loved Allie and you, you two broke up only a couple of months ago and well, I’m worried that it, you know, it might be too soon for you that you, you’re still. Vulnerable. You know, you know, mama, I’m not gonna lie, I miss her like crazy. She was my best friend and my girlfriend all wrapped up in one person, and I’m tired of sitting around being sad about it.

Not to mention all the other stuff I have to be sad about. I mean, don’t I deserve to have some fun for a change, baby? You deserve whatever this wonderful world has to offer you. I, I’m just worried. About you throwing yourself into a another relationship. If you are not ready, uh, you know, because you’re, you’re, you’re still too vulnerable, like I said.

And. Cause my precious, precious girl, the last thing I want is for you to get your heart broken all over again.

I know what you’re saying makes sense about my sister’s. Total lack of motive. But you’re still freaked out thinking you may be guilty. Which is why you need to take a deep breath and give yourself some time to think about this situation. Clearly,

you’re right. It’s just really hard, you know when a case hits so close to home. Trust me. I get it. But we’ll get through this. Okay. Together.

Hey sis, commissioner Talia. Hi. Listen, um, I just wanna let you know that I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Okay. Uh, where are you going? I’m just hanging out with Chanel, so, um, I’m gonna go be dressed. Okay. All right. Uh, have fun. Thank you. You guys have a good time too. Okay. Call ya. Wait. I need to ask you something first.

Yeah. Show. What’s up?

Did you trash Paulina Price’s Office?

Sorry, one sec.

Oh, damn it. What? Oh, I gotta go meet a client like right now, afraid. So she’s nervous about her testimony in court tomorrow. So I gotta go do a little hand holding. You never know how long those things are gonna take. Can I get a rain check on her? Of course. Night of Romance. Listen, just be sure to call me before you turn in, okay?

Will do. Okay.

This is a complete waste of time. Everyone knows this is an utter fast. Just a way to get Gabby back at the company using underhanded tactics. I happen to disagree with that. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Gabby is a very successful businesswoman. She’s a money-grubbing bottom feeder. She’s not qualified to criticize what I had for lunch, let alone my job performance.

Mm. Now that is a great example of one of your many, many weaknesses. Your curiousness, your arrogance. Do you treat your employees like they’re beneath you? It’s a real morale killer. Pity settle. I’ve spoken to a couple people at the company. If they described you as rude, Temperamental tyrannical. One guy even said he’d rather work for the father and succession.

At least. That guy’s funny. Oh, and I’m not. Wait, who said that? It’s confidential. To protect your employees, you’re lying. You’re making every word up. Oh, suddenly I’m not speak from what I’ve seen. Your management skills are ineffective. Your bargaining tactics are counterproductive. Your interpersonal skills are an HR disaster waiting to happen.

Oh, and your cologne is very pungent. So, How God. Oh, how dare you. That’s an all in all. If I had to give you a letter grade, it would be an F. You insulate. Actually, I forgot you left crumbs in the break room, so that’s an F minus.

Feel free to write up whatever you want in your pathetic little report. Gabby, nobody gives a down what you think. I bake the differ. I think the board is gonna care very much about Gabby’s review. See, I’ve read her preliminary findings and. They’re actually quite disturbing. I have no doubt. Once she submits your evaluation, the board’s gonna want to address several of these issues before it’s too late as you wish.

But don’t forget, brother, I’m not the only one being evaluated here. Nicole has been monitoring your performance and I’m sure she has a lot to say. Nicole, darling, would you mind coming downstairs please? Oh, she’s not here. She went shopping. Well, when she gets back, I’ll ask her to present her findings. In the meantime, I’m going to get some air.

Because I’ve had enough of you two in your little childish games.

Enjoy the air. Are we having fun yet?

You and Sloan? What about me and Sloan? Well, I knew I was high on biscuits, but I distinctly remember you saying you stopped seeing each other. Well, we had, we managed to make things work out even though she caught us in bed together. Well, she understood that we were drugged and we weren’t. I’ve seen things clearly.

Right. Well, I mean, I guess you two weren’t exclusive or anything, and from what you said, it was just casual. Actually, that’s not the case anymore.

Son and I decided to give a shot to having a rare relationship.

Mama, isn’t it a little early in the game for you to be worried about me getting hurt? Mm-hmm. It’s only a first date. Yeah, but I know you baby, you tend to move pretty fast. Are you following me, Ahoe? Of course not. I was talking relationship wise. I mean, after all you marry Zander cook just hours after you met him.

Okay. You know, that wasn’t about love. Oh, and then you also married Johnny Dara of a few months after you two started dating. Okay. Maybe that was a little impulsive, and then just only a few months after that you moved him with Alien or something. Okay. Okay. Okay. Look, okay. I, I admit that I do fall pretty quickly, but I promise to take things slow with Talia.

Okay. That’s all I ask. After all, you know, you haven’t really known her that long. Okay, now you seem skeptical of Talia. You were just singing her praises two seconds ago. Well, it’s both you and I know people aren’t always what they see.

What did you say, Jada? Maybe this isn’t such a good idea. I believe that someone took. A key from Paulina’s Purse. I made a copy of it to get into her office. And why do you think that someone is me? You were with Chanel and Paulina in the Square the day her office was vandalized. You had the opportunity to do it.

Yeah. But I didn’t really, because Ra and I just came back from speaking to the hardware store owner and we showed him your picture and he remembered making a copy of a key for you that day. So how do you explain that?

I can’t, I can’t believe this. Do you seriously think I could do something so horrible? We are not accusing you of anything, Talia. We’re just asking questions. No, you’re not just asking questions. I mean, come on. You showed the guy in my picture. Right. So you two obviously think that I’m guilty. Well, at the moment we are exploring any and all angles.

So I’m the on your investigation. That’s funny because I thought I was your sister, which means you can talk to me. Was the owner of the hardware store. Right. When he identified your picture, did you make a copy of the Key that day?

Yeah, I did.

So you did make a copy of Pauline’s Key?

No, I made a key to your room upstairs. What? Yeah. You kept saying You’re gonna make me my own key. Right. But you kept putting it off and I didn’t think our system was very safe. What system? I’m leaving my own key under the mat. So tell you can get in, haven’t had time to get a key made. Yeah, so I took the initiative and I did it myself, but that was weeks ago.

Why didn’t you say something before now? I don’t know. I kept forgetting, you know, you’ve been forgetting a lot of things lately, hun. Don’t believe me. How about you take it upstairs and see if it works. Or better yet about use at Ms Price’s office. Maybe you and I should go upstairs and try out the key just for the record.

Okay, fine by me, but I’m telling the truth. My God, Chanel and Paulina have been so kind to me. Why in the world would I wanna hurt them? Well, like I said, your sister and I were just exploring any and all angles.

Yeah, right. But I thought my sister of all people would know that I’m not a horrible person and I would never do something like this.

Well, I should go get ready for my date. What do you two have planned? Dinner at the bistro? Then maybe we’ll catch a movie at the square. Or who knows? Maybe we’ll just elope at city Hall. You know, I should probably wear my wedding dress just in case. Stop, stop, stop. Stop, stop, stop. I love you, mama, and I appreciate you looking out for me.

Always. Always. You. You have a wonderful time. Now, being careful doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Yeah. Uh, Talia and I already get along so well. I’m sure the fun will happen easily. And the next step, well, that is to be seen.

You know, the one good thing about the bakery shutting down is that. I can stay out as late as I want. I guess I found something I can thank Sloane Peterson for. Well, another little bit of advice. Keep that horrible woman out of your mind tonight. I’m gonna try, mama. I’m gonna try. Mm-hmm. Hmm.

Oh wow.

Sorry I’m late. Oh, don’t be. I just got here myself. Look, I know it may seem like overkill. You know what? Nonsense. There’s no such thing. Preparation is the name of the game when it comes to going to court. Thanks. I just wanna go over my testimony one more time. Of course, Vincent, don’t worry so much. All you have to do tomorrow is when you get on this stand, you just tell the truth and you leave the rest up to me.

You make it sound so easy. Well, that’s because I’ve been doing this a very long time. Trust me, you’re in good hands. I do know that Ms. Peterson.

A real relationship. Okay. What does that mean? It means that Sloan and I are now like exclusive. Well, I gathered that I, you still don’t know what it means? Well, no, of course I do. It’s just that, it’s just, fuck, come on, Eric. I don’t think anyone who knows you thinks this makes any sense. Okay. Can you name one person who thinks highly of that woman?

Not to mention that she’ll probably be on her way to Statesville before law. Are you kidding me, Nicole? Listen, I am tired of explaining to everyone that Sloan had nothing to do with what’s happening with Chanel and Paulina. And by the way, she was with me all night. She had nothing to do with drugging those biscuits.

Really? You had your eyes on her every second, Nicole. Well, I just,

I’m just concerned. Okay. Because even after everything that. We’ve been through. I, I still care about you and if you’re serious about Sloan, then I’ll be fine.

Eric, wait.

Since you and Sloane are together, can you just do me a favor? Please Ask her not to tell anyone about what happened between us under the influence. Are you afraid ejs gonna find it? Yeah. I’m afraid ejs gonna find out and he is probably gonna blow it out of proportion. Okay. And I don’t need the drama, especially since us making love was because of the drugs.

Am I right? Yeah. It’s because of the.

He worked. All right. Well, isn’t that a good thing? I mean, it might have been, if I hadn’t already blurted out my suspicions. Yeah. Uh, about that. What happened to taking a breath and thinking this through clearly. I had every intention of doing that, but then the words just started tumbling outta my mouth and I couldn’t stop myself.

Oh, I’m sure my sister is furious with me. No, well, I mean, yeah, probably. You know, I, I should go back up there and talk to me. No, no, no, no, no. Do not do that. This is really emotional for you. You’re. Your instincts are, Ross, just wait till tomorrow morning. Okay? Okay. You know, I, I think you’re right. I’ll just give her some time, you know, let her cool off.

Yes. Okay. Yeah. Talia. Talia. Wait. Can we talk this out?

Seriously,

we just what?

That was perfect. If you tell your story like that tomorrow, it’s a slam dunk. Thanks. I feel much more confident now. Great. Okay. Tomorrow meet me at the courthouse at nine. Okay. Um, actually before you go, I have one more question, Uhhuh. Sure. I heard rumors about the police investigating you. Should I be looking for a backup lawyer?

Absolutely not. Look, you have nothing to worry about, okay? And neither do I. The police have no case because I’m innocent. But I heard that Paulina Price accused you of harassing her family. She’s wrong. I don’t know who’s after her and her daughter, but it certainly isn’t me.

I’m gonna go for a run by the lake. Hmm. I gotta stay in good shape for you. You better try to join. I’d love to, but I think I’m gonna send this reporting as soon as possible. I mean, I don’t know how serious Shannon and the board are gonna take this, but. It’s just fun to get under e j’s skin. I agree. Just know that we should expect some pushback.

We both know EJ gives as good as he gets. Let him. You and I can not only hold our own against him and Nicole, we can outsmart, outshine and outperform circles around them and we will. But this tit for tat can’t go on forever. Eventually, we’re gonna need to oust EJ from Damara for good.

Ah, Mr. Damira, I don’t believe we have been properly introduced. I’m SL Peterson. Nice to actually meet you, Ms. Peterson. Although in a way I feel like we already know each other, as I recall, we spent a rather painfully awkward evening at the Bist Strong Valentine’s Day, where our respective dates spent a lot of time and energy trying to ignore each other.

That is true, and I was extremely painful. Mm-hmm. Although it wasn’t half as painful as the other day when I caught the miba together.

Well, I should go,

but before I do, I, uh, I just wanna say in spite of what I said about Sloan and how I feel about her, I hope, I hope you two work out. And I, I know I’ve said this for many years now, but it bears repeating.

I just want you to be happy.

I just want you to be happy.

Even if it’s with ej,

even if it’s with ej.

Uh, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. What did you say? Did you, you caught who? Only. Back together. Um, Nicole and Eric, I, God, I’m so sorry. I, I assumed that you knew.

Come on. We’re supposed to split these. Don’t make me eat ’em all by myself. Sorry. Not hungry Ra. What did you think of Talia’s story about her making a key for our room? It made sense mostly, but don’t you find it strange that she never said anything before about it? Hmm. Hello? But I keep going back to one thing, her lack of motive.

That’s right. She’s got nothing against Pauline and Chanel, so why would she go after them?

I am sorry I couldn’t help overhearing your conversation earlier. Oh, hi. Hi, my name’s Logan. I’m Connie. Nice to meet you. Connie. From what I gathered, it sounds like your lawyer might have a bit of legal trouble over her own. Oh, you heard our conversation. Were we talking that loud? No, no, no. It’s just I was there.

I was sitting close enough. You know? Right. Well, my lawyer, she assures me she’s innocent. Except we all know how good lawyers can be at covering things up. Right. So I just hope I can trust her. I know you can. I mean, just from observing the two of you for a couple minutes, whoa. I could get the sense that she’s a person of integrity.

I am positive. She’s innocent. Really? I’m mean, it’s, it’s obviously just a feeling, but I have been told that I am an excellent judgey character.

Wow. You look amazing. Thanks. So do you. I am loving a dress. I’m just fat. It still fits. Spend a minute since I had a reason to dress up, I. I’m glad we’re doing this. So am I. But um, look, I, I know dating women is new for you, so I want you to know there is no pressure, no expectations at all. We can just take things slow.

I actually think that would be good for both of us. Thanks. I really appreciate that. It’s great. All right, now let’s order. I am starving

Nicole and Eric. We’re in bed together. Oh God, yes. But you know, it was just those biscuits, those damn biscuits, they were drugged, you know, it meant nothing. It wasn’t like it was, it wasn’t planned or uh uh, any of that obviously, you know, and, and uh, that’s why I thought she would’ve told you. She assuredly did not.

Oh, well, like I said before, you know, it was, it was the drugs. It really meant nothing. I’m not losing sleep over at, in them, and you shouldn’t neither. Thank you for the heads up.

I didn’t tell EJ and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little secret.

So that was her secret. She slept with Eric.

Oh, hey, did uh, EJ track you down? No. Why? He was upset about the performance review that I gave him. The guy just doesn’t know how to take constructive criticism. Oh, yeah. I bet it was real constructive. Wow. I’m sure the board will be very interested to hear what I have to say. I, I was just about to email them my scathing review.

Oh, well, I guess I’ll just have to send them my review about Stephan also scathing. Hmm.

Oh, ow. Oh God. Ah. Oh. You all right? Oh.

Oh my God.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: Let’s see what you can do. Son, to everybody else, this right here… is nothing, just blank page, right? To us, this is the idea of possibilities, endless possibilities. This is a door we can open, a door to life, right?

Rj: Dad. No, dad, I–

Ridge: No, listen, you were given something. You’re given this incredible gift and grandad has it, he gave it to me, you guys have it. But it doesn’t land in the same place for everybody else. I need to know where it landed with you. Let me see it.

Thomas: What?

Hope: Nothing, it’s just, uh, your creative energy.

Thomas: Well, I just had an idea, had to get it out on the paper, you know? Is– is it too much?

Hope: [ Laughs ] No, never too much. It’s, um, good. I mean, your– your passion is lighting up this entire office. It’s nice to see you in your element again. I’m just happy it’s with me– with hope for the future.

[ Laughs softly ]

Count boucie: You got a nice little establishment here, mr. Sharpe. But obviously, it’s missing something.

Deacon: Let me guess, that something would be you?

Count boucie: Well, you know, right now it’s a nice restaurant, but as a level two sommelier from napa valley and a sommelier to the stars, I can turn il giardino into the “it” restaurant it’s longing to be.

Deacon: “It” restaurant?

Count boucie: The most talked-about, trendsetting, highest reviewed, the best, if you will. Just say the word and count boucie will snap into action.

Orville: Yes!

Deacon: Well, count, your name does convey quite a bit of gravitas. Uh, what’s your background?

Count boucie: Well, I was named after the great count basie, the king of swing.

Deacon: So that makes you the king of sommeliers.

Count boucie: King, perhaps. Count? Most definitely.

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Thank you for that. You made me feel like I’m alive, you know? It’s almost like my– I’ve been reborn.

Hope: Like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Thomas: That’s actually not a bad idea for a design. See? You always never stop inspiring me, it’s– it’s– it’s impressive and you just– you want me to be the best I possibly can be, and you encourage me to do that and– and it means so much, so I’m just– I’m in your debt, hope.

Ridge: You say you’re not interested in design, you don’t want to be part of this company. I get it, I hear you. But it’s in your blood, you can’t deny it. So maybe, just take this pencil, and just maybe, you could surprise yourself. Maybe this is it, maybe this is your true calling, to be here with us. I said, I see it

Deacon: I– I– I gotta tell you, count, you got me thinking, you got me intrigued. All right, tell me about your experience.

Count boucie: My experience?

Deacon: Yeah, you know, uh, who you worked for or where you worked?

Count boucie: Well, the list is long and plentiful. I’ve been requested by some of the most influential people in the world. Movie stars, athletes, politicians, royalty?

Deacon: Wow, so maybe tell me about the last person you worked for.

Count boucie: I’m not apt to kiss and tell, mr. Sharpe. One of the hallmarks of an a-list sommelier is discretion, but my reputation led me here, did it not?

Deacon: You know, actually, I– I thought it was my listing.

Orville: Grandpa?

Count boucie: Uh, I’m working right now, just relax.

Orville: But grandpa, I’m hungry.

Deacon: Well, hey, if you’re hungry, guess what? You’re in the right place.

Orville: What do you mean?

Deacon: What do I mean? I– I tell you what. You tell me what you want to eat and I’m gonna have somebody bring you a plate of whatever it is. How’s that sound?

Orville: Do you have corn?

Deacon: Corn? What, are you kidding me, man? I got fields of corn!

Ridge: Give it a shot, there’s no pressure.

Rj: Yeah, you know just ’cause you say “no pressure” doesn’t mean there is no pressure, right?

Ridge: That’s exactly what it means, there’s no pressure. I don’t care if you do this for a living or not, I just want to see what you’re capable of.

Charlie: Sorry for the intrusion.

Ridge: What is it, charlie?

Charlie: I just wanted you to know that I just finished scaling back all that extra security we had when sheila was the big problem.

Ridge: Okay, do you remember having a conversation where I told you that things like that can be sent in an email? Maybe a note left on pam’s desk? You don’t have to run in here like the building’s on fire.

Charlie: Gee, who– who curdled the big cheese?

[ Laughs ] See what I did there? It’s like a metaphorical image, joke, “curdled cheese”? Get– get it? See?

Rj: Yeah, yep, I got it, thanks. I, uh– I think dad was just, uh, interrupted in the middle of a heartwarming plea to get me to follow in his footsteps.

Charlie: Oh.

Ridge: That’s– that’s not what I’m doing at all, I’m sorry and I’m– what I wanted was for you to take the pencil and let nature do the rest. Because my first design, the first time I ever did this, I remember it like it was yesterday. It’s a big wave that came over me, and it was incredible, and I– I will never forget it. I just thought, if this is something that you may wanna do, that you should have that same euphoric, life-changing moment, that’s all.

Charlie: I know– I know exactly what you mean. I get the exact same feeling every time I go skinny dipping. I mean, a couple of laps in the buff every morning has given me two things. It made me, one, a better protector, and two, it made my neighbor build a higher fence.

Ridge: Make a statement. You can do it.

Hope: I’m proud of you, thomas. All the growth you’ve been showing? It’s been reflecting in your work as well.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Yeah. Come on, you don’t have to do the pretend humility thing with me, I know you know you’re good.

Thomas: I may be aware. But I– I will say something that I didn’t know. Honestly, I– I had no idea if, uh, the new-and-improved thomas would actually be any good.

Hope: What do you mean?

Thomas: Look, I… I realize this now after putting myself through therapy and digging into this stuff, but in the past, I– I took all of my frustration, my anger, and– and that’s what fuelled me and made me put pen to paper. Very “rage against the machine,” right? And, now, uh, I– I don’t do that anymore and there was a time where I thought I would have no idea if what would come out would actually be of any substance, or good.

Hope: Well, I don’t think you have to worry, thomas, because your designs are on a whole other level now.

Thomas: That’s ’cause of you. You have inspired me from the beginning, but you used to inspire me in a different way, and now, you inspire me with… love. And that is what fuels me and I wake up every morning now with– with all of these designs flowing through my mind and it’s like– it’s a freedom that I have never experienced.

Hope: Peace.

Thomas: Exactly.

Hope: I think it’s evident that you have finally found peace within yourself. And it’s made you not only a better designer, but a better father and a better man as well. Need relief for tired, achy feet?

Deacon: Uh– uh, mr.–

Count boucie: Shh, I’m still reading.

Deacon: Yeah, I– I was just gonna say, if there are any changes you think that I need to make–

Count boucie: Oh, there’ll be changes made if we make this deal.

Deacon: Okay. Uh, oh, great, thank you. All right, here you go. Look at this– you got pizza, you got french fries, and good old california corn.

Orville: I love corn.

[ Deacon laughs ]

Deacon: You know, your grandfather’s a count, so who knows? Maybe some day, you’ll become a colonel. Get it? Kernel? Ah, I guess it was kinda corny, wasn’t it? Count, what can I say, I’m impressed. But there’s only one way to find out you’re as good as you think you are. So, I’m gonna put you to the test.

Count boucie: A test?

Deacon: Yep, blind taste-test. I’m gonna ask you to please leave the room, I’m gonna pour three glasses of wine and I want you to tell me what region they’re from. Sound good?

Count boucie: Brilliant.

Deacon: Mm.

Orville: Corn rules, man.

Ridge: Let it out, son. Trust your instincts.

Charlie: Oh, the suspense is killing me.

Ridge: Anything else I can do for you, charlie?

Charlie: No, thanks.

Ridge: ‘Cause my son and i were having a very important moment.

Charlie: Oh, I know, and I– and I– it is an honor for me to be here, to protect you from any interruptions.

[ Laughs ]

Charlie: I guess I’m the interruption, huh? I– well, you know, I was just– you know what? [ Stuttering ] I’m gonna get out of here and– and leave it. Good luck over there!

Ridge: Charlie!

Charlie: Yeah, all right… good luck, rj!

Ridge: Finished? May I?

Rj: Sure.

Ridge: Really?

Rj: Well, what? You said to draw what inspires you.

Ridge: This– this is what you learned? This? Really? You–

[ Grunts ] All right, very cute. Very cute.

Rj: Thank you, I try.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Hot out of the sewing room.

Hope: Oh, this is my favorite part– getting to see our designs come to life.

Thomas: Drumroll, please.

[ Drumming on legs ]

[ Hope gasps ]

Hope: Oh, my gosh, thomas! It’s extraordinary, it’s exactly how we envisioned!

Thomas: I know, it’s beautiful. I– I really wanna see it up and moving, but sadly, we don’t have any models coming in ’til later.

Hope: I can try it on.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yes, it’s fine, I mean, I’m just as anxious as you are to see this design in all its glory!

Thomas: Awesome, thank you!

Hope: All right.

Brooke: Thomas,

he is a bad boy, and you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Unlike your mother.

[]

Deacon: All right. One of these is french, one is italian, one is californian. Oh, count boucie! We’re ready for you! Please. Okay, so here’s the deal. You’re gonna take a taste from each glass, you’re gonna tell me what region it’s from. One is french, one is italian, one is californian. Should be easy for a guy of your talent.

Count boucie: Delightful! Hmm.

Deacon: All right, count, game time. Italian? French? Or californian?

Count boucie: French!

Deacon: Well done. Next?

Count boucie: Italian.

Count boucie: California like the beach boys.

Deacon: Well, look, you obviously know your stuff, I can’t dispute that.

Count boucie: Well, not only do I know my wine, but I can also charm your customers into buying more product and make you a ton of money! Sound like a plan?

Deacon: All right, all right, yeah, I’m digging it, okay? I am. Let me– let me think about it, but I promise you, I’m gonna get back to you. I really am impressed. Thanks a lot, count. Orville, it was a pleasure meeting you.

Ridge: I don’t really look like this, do I? Come on.

Rj: No, what? No. Not at all.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You’re funny. It shows me how talented you are.

Rj: Thank you, dad, it means a lot coming from someone as accomplished as you.

Ridge: Everyone dreams, you know. There’s only a few of us, a few fortunate people that can take that dream and make it into something that the whole world can experience.

Rj: Dad, that’s exactly what I want to do. I– I know that I can draw, that I can create. I mean, come on, you had me doing this when I was younger, too. I don’t want to design dresses. And please don’t take that as a jab, I love everything about forrester creations. I’m– I’m proud of the work everyone here does. But especially you. I mean, I– I just– I– I want to do my own thing, you know? And build my brand.

Ridge: As an influencer?

Rj: Yes, dad, as an influencer. You know I can hear the disapproval in your voice?

Ridge: That’s not– that’s not– no, it’s just not a career, you know?

Rj: You sound old.

Ridge: I am old! You drew an old man!

[ Laughs ]

Rj: I know, I’M… you know, I didn’t draw that just to be funny. You said to draw what inspires you, and that’s you, dad. You inspire me. I just– I really don’t want to disappoint you, okay? I have to build my own future.

Ridge: I know, come here, I’m not disappointed in you, come here. I love you.

Rj: I love you, too.

Brooke: And you,

my sweet, precious daughter,

you don’t like the bad boys.

Hope: I’m ready!

Thomas: ‘Kay. Wow! Come here. Careful, don’t want to have you fall like last time.

Hope: [ Laughs ] Yeah.

Thomas: Wow. This is great. Uh, do you mind?

Hope: Oh, yeah, sure, sure.

Thomas: ‘Kay. Okay.

[ Hope clears throat ] Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, yeah, I’m just… excited about the design.

Thomas: ‘Kay, yeah, I mean, me too, this is– the only thing is, I think I wanna change the hem a little bit, but other than that, it’s– it’s great. This is remarkable.

Hope: What is?

Thomas: Well, the dress, but also, um, the fact that we’re able to work together like this and you can finally trust me.

Brooke: There’s no denying that I’ve always desired the wrong man. Glad you’re not like me that way.

General Hospital Character Description: Marcus Taggert

RÉAL ANDREWS (Marcus) on "General Hospital" (photo from his Instagram page)

Marcus Taggert

 

When Marcus Taggert came to town in 1996, he was out for revenge on Sonny. Sonny’s abusive stepfather, Deke, had been a mentor to young Marcus back in Bensonhurst and encouraged him to become a cop. He thought Sonny had gunned him down in an alley. He also hated Sonny when his wife, Lily, was murdered by a car bomb.

He has a sister, Gia, and his mother was Florence. He dated several women, but none of them became serious relationships.  He clashed with Scott Baldwin about his professional ethics in 2003 and ended up leaving to take a job in Portland.

He returned in 2020 and seemingly died, but his death was faked in order to catch Cyrus. We learned that Trina was his daughter and that Portia was his ex-wife. Also, he’d worked with Jordan before. Marcus was able to return to the world after Cyrus was put away. He’s been there to support his daughter, Trina.

When Portia was about to marry Curtis, she was forced to admit that Curtis might be Trina’s dad, not Marcus.

General Hospital Character Description: Robin Scorpio-Drake

Kimberly McCullough (Robin) - photo from the Official ABC General Hospital Facebook Page

Robin Scorpio-Drake

 

Robin is a kind and compassionate person with a strong moral core. Both of her parents were international spies or cops when she was growing up. She didn’t know her father at all until she was five years old, and she didn’t know that Anna was her mom. She thought she was just a family friend. Anna had hidden her away to protect her; she was a target for her parents’ enemies. When she was about 12, both of her parents seemingly died in a boat explosion. Her Uncle Mac and later, Aunt Felicia, raised her. Felicia’s daughter Maxie and Georgie were like her sisters. Robin had many adventures, but she saved a lot of people’s lives as both a doctor and a hero.

A few years later, Robin fell for teen Stone, not knowing that he was HIV positive. She also became HIV positive, but Stone died. After that, she fell for Jason Morgan, who helped her get over Stone’s death. Both Stone and Jason worked for mobster Sonny, which didn’t make Mac (the police commissioner) happy. Robin became good lifelong friends with both Jason and Sonny.  She and Jason have had an on-again, off-again romance over the years.

Robin went to Yale for college. At some point, she become a doctor, specializing in drug protocol research. In 2001, she learned that her mother, Anna, was alive and living in Pine Valley, but she had amnesia. Anna remembered Robin but couldn’t remember what happened to Robert. A few years later, Robin returned to Port Charles and joined the staff of General Hospital.  There she met Patrick Drake. They dated, had a few breaks here and there, but eventually married and had their daughter, Emma.

Robin was thought to be killed in a lab explosion and fire in 2012, but she was kidnapped and held captive by Jerry Jacks and Cesar Faison (among others). She was rescued by her parents and reunited with her family, but then she had to help Jason, who was also being held captive. Her family is threatened so that she has to stay and work on Jason and also find a cure for Helena’s illness. Eventually, Jason gets free and rescues her, and she reunites with her family.

[ Mariah sighing ]

Sharon: Just what I needed. A visit from the world’s most perfect baby.

Mariah: I’m here too, by the way.

Sharon: Huh? What?

[ Mariah laughing ]

Mariah: You’re so hilarious. So funny.

Sharon: I’m just kidding. You are wonderful also.

Mariah: Ah, no. Well, aria is a lot more popular than I am these days. As she should be.

Sharon: Look at her sweet little face. She’s just an angel. Can I pick her up?

Mariah: I love you, but no. This angel wailed the whole car ride until she fell asleep. So, just give her a few minutes?

Sharon: No problem. I can wait. I think.

[ Chuckles ] Meantime, why don’t you fill me in? What’s been going on?

Mariah: I really, really wanna dish, but first I need coffee. Anything before caffeine is just gonna sound like gibberish.

Sharon: Okay. Wow. I hope you’re not pushing yourself too hard. Going back to work. You’re taking care of aria. That’s a lot to take on at once.

Mariah: Tessa has my back. And I’m only in the office like two days a week. I mean, I spend the entire time wishing I was with aria. But then she woke up three times last night, so.

Sharon: Sounds like a recipe for insomnia.

Mariah: Oh, sleep? Who needs sleep?

Sharon: Wait, am I sensing there might be something else going on?

[ Knocking ]

Daniel: Hey, am I interrupting?

Lily: No, not at all. What is this?

Daniel: Well, I thought you could use a little afternoon pick me up.

Lily: Thank you. It’s very sweet.

Daniel: Not totally selfless. I was actually hoping to talk to you about something. Do you have a minute?

Lily: Yeah, of course. What’s up?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: God, I don’t mean to keep leaning on you, but you’re kind of my go-to person when it comes to this.

Lily: Is it your mom? Did you have another nightmare or?

Daniel: Yeah, something like that. Only this one is happening in real life.

[ Summer sighing ]

Phyllis: Listen to me. You’re the only one who can know that I’m alive. I mean it. You’re the only one who can know what happened and what I need to do because of it from this moment forward.

[ Summer sighing ]

[ Footsteps ]

Jack: Diane.

Diane: Why do you keep doing this? I told you not to come here. Why don’t you listen to me?

Jack: Because I love you. Because the last time I was here, I left you with a question that you never answered.

Diane: It was a crazy question.

Jack: That is still not an answer. I’ll ask again. Will you marry me?

Diane: Before I go on trial for murder? Is there nothing I can do to drive you away?

Jack: No. No. Now is when you need me most. I’m not going anywhere.

Diane: So that’s why you’re here? To marry me right now? That’s not romance, jack. It’s denial. And it breaks my heart. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Mariah: I was thrown by something that happened today. And I didn’t know how to handle it. And then I got embarrassed that I didn’t know how to handle it better and that’s kind of just how things go in my world sometimes. It’s really– it’s not a big deal.

Sharon: Well, it’s still on your mind. So, why don’t you just tell me? Was it something at work?

Mariah: No. No. Someone today asked me if aria was my first child and I didn’t really know how to respond.

Sharon: Because of dom.

Mariah: It really flustered me and I was just struggling with all of these different thoughts. And I didn’t wanna say, “yes, I’ve been pregnant before, but not with this baby and the one that I was pregnant with before has a different mom.” But I also didn’t wanna deny dom because that was such an important time in my life and I will always adore dom. But I mean, aria is my first child and I wanna tell the world how amazing she is.

Sharon: It’s complicated, for sure. And I think that I can relate to it because when people ask me how many children I have, I have to stop and think. And I’m sure that must look strange because people think, “lady, you don’t know how many kids you have?” But you know, it’s complicated for me too.

Mariah: Because your mind instantly goes to cassie.

Daniel: I’m not really sure where to start.

Lily: It’s okay. Just take your time.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, I feel like I need to be careful here ’cause I don’t really wanna betray summer’s trust.

Lily: So, it’s about summer.

Daniel: I had this strange conversation with her. I mean, I’m sure she’s probably already regretting most of what she said.

Lily: Okay. Well, look, I promise you that whatever is said here, it will not leave this room.

Daniel: Yeah. I mean, I know that.

[ Daniel laughing ] I trust you. It’s just difficult for me to talk about.

Lily: What happened?

Daniel: I ran into summer last night. She was a mess. You know, she was hanging out at the park all alone. I– I don’t know, you know, I’m having a tough time dealing with this, but summer is falling apart. She’s looking for answers that just aren’t there and because she can’t find them in real life, she’s making them up in her head. And it– I don’t know, scares me.

Chance: I didn’t mean to startle you. No, I don’t wanna intrude.

Summer: No, you’re not. I mean, it’s a public park, right? It’s open to anyone and plus, it’s named after your family, so you have more of a right to be here than anyone.

Chance: I don’t think that’s how it works.

Summer: I don’t mind the company. Can I ask you though, what are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be out looking for stark’s killer?

Chance: It’s not supposed to be public knowledge yet. Yeah, I guess word must be getting out that his death wasn’t an accident.

Summer: Hard to keep that kind of thing quiet.

Chance: Yeah. Well, I am just consulting on this case. His body was found in pheasant lake. It’s outside my jurisdiction.

Summer: You’ll know more about stark than anyone in that area. You know what a disgusting thug he was.

Chance: The guys over there, they’re good and his record speaks for itself.

Summer: So, you’re not here looking for clues or anything?

Chance: You know, that’s not really what detectives do. I don’t just pop up random places, whip out a magnifying glass like sherlock holmes.

Summer: From what I’ve seen, your method is usually to watch. The brooding look in your eye. It’s why I asked you to go to my mom’s memorial service because you watch. You analyze.

Chance: Yeah. Most of the time. Today, I just came up here to think through. Same as you, I imagine? Yeah. Yeah, I bet we have a lot of the same things weighing on our minds.

Jack: This is not denial. This is devotion. This is commitment. This is confidence. I would never spring an impromptu wedding on you.

[ Diane chuckling ] I mean, say the word. I’ll make it happen. I will marry you anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

Diane: You know, I– I believe you.

Jack: Good. You should.

Diane: You’re impossible.

Jack: I am going to get you through this, diane.

Diane: How can you be so certain? How does that even make sense? I am stuck in here for god knows how long. And jack, you have a life to live.

Jack: You are my life. And here’s how we do it. You let me visit every day as long as they’ll let me. I am not going to let you go through this alone. If you need to shut down in order to survive, well, you’ll shut down right alongside of me.

Diane: Oh, damn you!

[ Diane groaning ]

Jack: Damn me? You won’t be pushing me away?

Diane: Jack, I’m sorry. I can’T. Because as good as this moment feels right now, nothing has changed. And I am– I am not going to drag you down alongside me or the rest of the family. You need to go.

Jack: Don’t do this, diane.

Diane: Guard, I’m ready to leave now.

Jack: There’s something else you need to hear.

Diane: Michael can tell me what it is.

Jack: Jeremy stark is dead. No two bodies are the same.

Daniel: I just hate seeing summer like that. And I tried talking her through her feelings, helping her to see reality. She just covered, told me that she got it, but I mean, I could tell she was still hanging onto that fantasy she’d created in her head.

Lily: Look, what matters is that you were there for her and maybe she needs more time.

Daniel: She’s just so angry. You know, I mean, I’m mad about what happened to mom too, but summer, she’s got some serious rage and it’s not helping her cope with the loss.

Lily: Well, I mean, there’s no right way to grieve or to help someone through it.

Daniel: Yeah. More than anything, I just want for my sister to be okay. But I don’t really know how that’s possible when I’m barely keeping my own head above water.

Lily: Well, look, I mean, you’re both in a lot of pain. You know, you need each other right now. You’re going through the same thing.

Daniel: We both want mom back so bad. We’re both seeing her in our dreams. And now summer is seeing her while she’s awake.

Lily: Look, the mind is a powerful thing. It makes sense that you would wanna try to undo her death somehow.

Daniel: Unfortunately, that’s not happening.

Lily: No, but it doesn’t stop the heart from wishing that it was.

Daniel: Can’t argue with that.

Lily: Look, I know from experience that losing someone is soul crushing. And it’s not gonna go away for a long time. So, you know, you and summer, as you’re working through this grief, you guys are gonna do and say more things that you regret.

Daniel: Well, I don’t regret anything that I’ve done so far. Most of all, reconnecting with you. I mean, I don’t know what I did to deserve you coming back into my life, but I– I hope you’re not having any regrets either.

Diane: Jeremy’s dead? How? When did this happen?

Jack: It happened a few days ago. I tried to tell you the last time.

Diane: How did he die?

Jack: It appears to be murder.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Do they know who killed him?

Jack: I think the police are looking into his criminal activities and I’m guessing that one or several of his colleagues had a grudge serious enough they wanted him dead.

Diane: Oh, I’m sure of it. I’ve met some of those people. They’re no one you would wanna mess with. But, you know, jeremy’s ego always made him feel like he was untouchable.

Jack: Well, he’s not going to be mourned. Certainly not in genoa city. How do you feel about that?

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Well, I’m– I’m– I’m relieved that he’s no longer a threat to our family, but at the same time, this– this doesn’t exactly work in my favor.

Jack: Because like me, you think stark killed phyllis?

Diane: I know he did. Which makes his death a really bad thing for me. Now that jeremy’s gone, there’s no way to get a confession from him. The only person who could clear my name is now dead.

Summer: Do you have any ideas about who killed stark?

Chance: Summer, we don’t have to talk about that. I know it’s just gonna bring up memories of your mom and all these unanswered questions. I don’t wanna do that to you.

Summer: The memories I can handle. It’S… it’s the guilt that I can’t stand. I still feel like I owe my mom answers and apparently, there aren’t any.

Chance: Hey. The sheriff’s department that’s handling this investigation, they know what they’re doing, okay? And I will keep you updated as well. I’ll stay on top of this case.

Summer: Chance, is there anything that you can say about stark’s death? I mean, did he drown in that lake? Were there– were there wi– witnesses? Is there any other physical evidence?

Chance: Summer, is there anything else going on?

Summer: Other than my mom was murdered? Followed by her new husband being murdered? And the fact that the– those two things, they– they must be related.

Chance: I just got a feeling that there might be something else.

Summer: What else is there other than the fact that my mom is gone!

Chance: Summer. Hey, look at me. If you know something or if you’ve learned something new, you can tell me.

Summer: You’re the police. How could I know something that you don’t? We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Lily: Are you asking if I regret our night together?

Daniel: I thought I was being subtle.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: You weren’T. Did you hear regret in my voice that night?

Daniel: No. Maybe since.

Lily: Well, we haven’t talked about it since.

Daniel: I know. That’s what started me thinking–

Lily: Okay. Listen, let me be very clear. I don’t regret it. Clearly, it was something that we both wanted and needed. And I think, you know, we just thought that happened and we didn’t talk about it again.

Daniel: Okay. Yeah, no, great. I’m sorry that I forced the issue.

Lily: No, no, no. I’m actually glad you did. ‘Cause I do think that we moved on from it too quickly, especially after everything that we’ve been through.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Sure. I mean, you’re dealing with a loss too.

Lily: Well, I mean, look, I’m not comparing my breakup to your grief, you know. But yeah, I mean, it’s been– it’s been a lot.

Daniel: Yeah. You and billy are on the mend. I don’t think either one of us are really in a place of starting anything new right now. I don’t know. I think that we just shouldn’t put any unnecessary pressure on each other. There’s no need to label anything. And I think that the most important thing here is our friendship.

Lily: I agree. And I don’t wanna do anything to damage that.

Daniel: No. What we did the other night didn’t damage anything.

Lily: [ Laughing ] No, it was lovely.

Daniel: It was more than lovely.

Lily: [ Laughing ] I agree. So, are we good?

Daniel: Yeah, why wouldn’t we be good? Hm? Why are we even talking about this? Did I– I brought this–

Lily: Yeah, you brought it up.

Daniel: Yeah, I brought this up. Now I’m the idiot. You know, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna let you get back to work.

Lily: Okay. Well, thank you for the coffee. And I’ll check in with you later.

Daniel: Okay.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Bye.

Daniel: Bye.

Devon: Hey. Hey.

Daniel: Hey. I was just heading out.

Devon: All right, see ya.

Daniel: Yep.

Lily: Hi.

Devon: Hi. How is everything going in the omega sphere? Or do I even have to ask?

[ Lily sighing ]

Mariah: You always talk about cassie with so much love.

Sharon: She was such a shining light. Just like you. And I never wanna stop talking about her because it’s a way of keeping her spirit alive. But when a stranger or a new acquaintance asks about her, I have to weigh how much I wanna say. And there’s no way I can respond to that casually, but if I do say what happened to her, it can get awkward. Hearing about the loss of a child makes people uncomfortable.

Mariah: Well, if you ever want to talk to me about cassie, I would love to listen. You know, I think about her a lot too. I do. I wonder if we would’ve had our own language like twins sometimes do, or if we would’ve dressed alike or been the complete opposites.

Sharon: Probably the latter.

[ Both laughing ] Look, I’m not saying our situations are exactly the same. Yours is complex, but it has a happy ending.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s true. I mean, everybody’s happy and healthy. And I know when people are– are striking up conversations, they’re just trying to find a way to connect. Like, hey, we’re both moms. But I don’t know, it still catches me off guard.

Sharon: You know what, someday, someone is probably gonna say, “aria looks just like you or tessa.”

Mariah: Oh, my gosh! That has already happened. I mean, she has no hair and her eyes were closed. But hey, sure. Yeah, we look alike.

[ Both laughing ]

Diane: My last chance for freedom died with jeremy.

Jack: Wait, that is not necessarily true.

Diane: Forget. Forget getting a confession. They can’t even question him now. Now that jeremy’s gone, the only person they’re gonna come after is me.

Jack: Slow down. Look, chances of getting a confession out of jeremy stark was always slim to none. Now that they know it’s a murder investigation, they have to investigate. Here’s what we hope for. In the process of searching for his killer, they find proof that he was behind phyllis’s death.

Diane: Oh, my god. That’s an even longer shot than a confession. And I doubt that jeremy left behind any proof.

Jack: Oh, I’m not so sure about that. A guy as cocky as that is going to probably want a few mementos of his accomplishments.

Diane: Jack, I love how you always hold on to hope, but I need to be a realist. And right now, most of genoa city wants me to go away for this crime. I don’t have a strong defense. And the case against me is growing stronger every day.

Jack: Think of all you have already overcome. You came back to this town, you thought you would never see your son again. You thought your life was over. You can overcome this too. I will help you do that.

Chance: Okay. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to imply anything. I was just saying. If you come across anyone suspicious or threatening, you can come to me.

Summer: I haven’T… yet.

Chance: Okay. And I hope, you know, I’m not trying to put ideas in your head like kyle mentioned. I just wanna help.

Summer: Thank you. Look, I’m sorry for snapping at you. Kinda barely holding it together, in case you haven’t noticed. My brother thinks that I’m losing my mind. And you know what? Maybe– maybe he’s right.

Chance: No, you’re not. You’re in pain. You know, given how stressful all this is, maybe wandering around town alone isn’t the best idea right now.

Summer: Maybe for both of us.

Daniel: Hey. Summer, what are you doing here again? I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Summer: I am fine. I just– I needed to get out of the house. I needed to get some air.

Daniel: Yeah. Two of you come here together?

Summer: It was a coincidence.

Chance: Yeah. This is our mutual thinking spot. I guess we all have that in common, huh? How you been, man? It’s been a minute.

Daniel: I’m– I’m doing okay.

Chance: I understand this is a rough time for both of you.

Summer: Yeah, we’re– we’re getting through it.

Chance: So what happened here before?

Summer: Nothing. It was just, it was a– a family thing. Chance, could I have a– some alone time with my brother?

Chance: Yeah. By all means. And don’t worry, we will find whoever’s responsible for stark’s death.

[ Daniel clearing his throat ]

Daniel: So, turns out that stark really was murdered. Just like you were talking about last night.

Summer: I didn’t say anything to chance about any of that or about how mom is alive. And you shouldn’t say a word either. Look, I’m doing a lot better now. I promise you. And you just forget I said any of that.

Diane: As much as I’d like to, it’s– it’s hard to find comfort in what you’re saying because the reality tells a different story.

Jack: So what’s the option? Giving up? That is not even a possibility. Oh. Looks like you have another visitor.

Diane: Well, it better not be a minister or justice of the peace.

Jack: Actually, he has been ordained and I think married a couple of people, but that’s not why he’s here.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Lily: Oh, who are you now? Leanna love?

Devon: No. I just picked up on a little something between you two. That’s all. Little– little vibe in the air.

Lily: A vibe in the air?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Okay. Well, anyway, omega sphere’s doing great, even though daniel’s still grieving, obviously. He and his team are on track. So, I think we’ll have a soft rollout platform by late may, early june.

Devon: That’s fantastic.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: I have some work ideas I wanna talk to you about too.

Lily: Okay, good. I love that you could just pop in my office like this again.

Devon: I know, right? I miss being able to do that.

Lily: Are you easing in or do you feel a little overwhelmed by things?

Devon: I’m not overwhelmed. I’m playing a little bit of catch-up, but it’s not too bad. Things already feel better than they did before.

Lily: We’re gonna keep it that way.

Devon: I’m glad to hear you say that ’cause I have a plan that is already in motion.

Lily: Okay. Well, if you’re this excited, I can’t wait to hear.

Devon: I want us to christen the neil winters jazz lounge properly by throwing dad a party there tonight.

Lily: I love that.

Devon: Yeah?

Lily: Yeah, that’s a great idea. That’s exactly what we should do.

Devon: Good.

Chance: Did you get a chance to check out the jeremy stark report?

Christine: I did

Chance: And?

Christine: It’s still not our case, chance.

Chance: Look, I hear you. But he did not drown in that lake, christine. He was stabbed to death. He was wrapped in a damn shower curtain and moved after he was killed. So that means the murder could have taken place right here in genoa city.

Christine: It is possible. Or it could have happened anywhere else.

Chance: I hear you, but I have a gut feeling it was closer to home. I mean, come on. This is not a coincidence. Phyllis is poisoned, and then days later, her brand new husband washes ashore stabbed to death? No, I have to look into this. I have no choice.

Christine: I mean, even if jeremy stark had something to do with phyllis’s death, we can’t negate the evidence we already have. There was a plan to kill her with poison purchased by diane. So, even if stark was an accomplice, the case against diane is still airtight and I intend to try it. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Sharon: You don’t have to follow this advice, but I would just take each comment as it comes, you know, on a case-by-case basis, depending on who you’re talking to and your mood and how much you feel like sharing. There’s no reason why you have to make a decision about who you can or cannot talk to about your child’s life. People are gonna have the reactions, but that’s not your responsibility.

Mariah: Thank you.

Sharon: For what? For being the best.

Sharon: Oh! I don’t know. You know, I am sorry that I missed the early years of your life and that’s one of my biggest regrets.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We’re not doing that. The past is in the past. Look at us now. I mean, we may have not got to spend our early years together, but… that’s what we’re doing right now. Living life together, the two of us and our growing family. As a new mom myself, can I just say I have never been more grateful that you are my mother.

[ Aria gurgling ] Oh. Oh and I feel like someone else agrees with me. Hello.

Devon: Yeah. So, I figured we could just put up some pictures of neil and then play his favorite music all night.

Lily: Yeah, that’s perfect.

Devon: All right.

Lily: How can I help?

Devon: You don’t need to do anything. Just wear something nice and say a few words later if you want.

Lily: Okay, I can do that.

Devon: Yeah. Abby already has the lounge reserved and she’s just waiting to turn everything out until she gets the word that it’s a go.

Lily: Well, it’s a go. And thank abby for me.

Devon: I will. Of course.

Lily: And thank you, too. I mean, this is the perfect way to commemorate dad’s passing.

Devon: Yeah, I thought so. It’s like, it’s crazy to think about how fast four years has gone by.

Lily: I know. It makes me realize how much I miss him and how much of our lives he hasn’t been a part of.

Devon: Yeah. I actually think that he hasn’t missed anything in our lives. Think he has a front-row seat to it all.

Lily: Well, hopefully not everything.

[ Lily laughing ]

Devon: Yeah, I’m sure he covers his eyes every now and then.

Lily: No, but I agree. I think dad is rooting for us, every step of the way.

Diane: Kyle, like I told you and your dad, I didn’t want you visiting again.

Kyle: You can tell me to go, but I won’T.

Diane: I don’t want to ruin your life again.

Kyle: You’re not ruining my life. I’m capable of doing that on my own.

[ Diane laughing ] Believe it or not, I’m stubborn just like you.

Diane: I think you get that from your father.

Kyle: I think you would beg to differ.

Diane: Mm. That’s right because he’s as obstinate as a rock.

Kyle: [ Laughing ] Mom, seeing you in here like this doesn’t cause me pain. What would hurt me is not seeing you. I know you are innocent, so we’re gonna figure out a way to prove it.

Diane: That means the world to me, and I appreciate you saying that, but I know the toll this is taking on you and your marriage.

Kyle: I admit that things aren’t great with summer right now, but this will pass. We’re strong enough as a couple to work through it. She’ll deal with her grief and we’ll get you out of here and then life will go back to normal for all of us.

Summer: Can you please just leave this alone?

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: How do you suggest I do that? We’re talking about our mother, her and stark are connected. The fact that the two of them were killed can’t just be a coincidence. I mean, that’s exactly what you were saying to me last night. And now you’re just doing a 180. Why? Why? What’s going on?

Summer: I wasn’t thinking clearly last night, okay? I– I was– I was doing what you said that I was doing. I was looking for answers that aren’t there.

Daniel: So you just guessed that stark was murdered and then it turned out that he actually was.

Summer: He deserved to die. For who he is and– and what he did and I– I just, I wanted it to be true, okay? Doesn’t mean that I’m psychic or that I know things. It just means that– that I don’t know how to do this. I don’t know. I don’t know how to be in a world without mom and it– and I’m sorry, okay? I’m sorry.

Daniel: I– I don’t need an apology, summer. What I need is to know that you’re gonna be okay and I’m not sure that you are. I mean, I talked to kyle. He told me that you ran off on him without a word. I tried calling you over and over and over again. I came here as just a– a last resort and sure enough, here you are with chance in the exact spot where you said you saw mom.

Summer: I don’t know what was going on with me last night, but I’m not imagining mom, okay? Not really. I’m not seeing her or I’m not thinking that she’s alive. And I’m definitely not talking to a police detective about any of that, okay?

Daniel: Okay. Fine.

Summer: I just– actually, I just wanted to get some information about stark from chance, but he would not give up anything about the stabbing or the scissors.

Daniel: What did you say? Summer, if chance didn’t say anything about a stabbing or scissors, how the hell do you know about it? (Music throughout)

Kyle: Harrison has moved on to building entire cities. And when we told him his dee-dee used to be an architect and her job was to build things, he lit up like a christmas tree.

Diane: Oh, I love that. And it kind of hurts at the same time.

Kyle: Oh, I was just trying to say he loves you. That’s all.

Diane: And I love him more than I can say. I’m just… I’m just terrified that his little heart will be broken if I don’t make it home.

Kyle: Hey, I didn’t mean to make you feel that way.

Diane: No, no. It’s not you. It’s– it’s the truth.

Kyle: Dad, michael and I are working on a plan to get you out of here. So, just try to hang tight until we figure it out.

Diane: Yeah. Hey, thank you for coming even though I told you not to. And for the pep talk, but I think we all need to face facts. There’s a very strong possibility that I am going to be wrongly convicted and spend the rest of my life behind bars.

Jack: Afternoon latte? They don’t have coffee at the station where you should be working on phyllis’s case?

Chance: I am working, jack.

Jack: Oh, then you’re looking for evidence that jeremy stark killed phyllis here in the coffee house.

Chance: You know what? I just had a meeting with the da. That’s none of your business, so why don’t you stay out of it?

Jack: Jeremy stark is dead. Whatever his plan was has gone awry. There’s gotta be more to this than what we all see on the surface. It’s up to you to dig up all of his deepest, darkest secrets and tell us what happened. I am going to hold you to account. Look, if you do your job, it is the only way diane is exonerated.

Summer: I must have read about the way that he died and the– and the murder weapon in the news.

Daniel: I’ve read every story there is to read about stark. The story about his murder just came out today, and it specifically said that no details were released.

Summer: Well, there must have been more articles than the ones that you read.

Daniel: Okay, well, which one did you see then?

Summer: I don’t know. I don’t remember. Why are you being like this?

Daniel: Because I need you to be honest with me. That’s why. It doesn’t make any sense how you would have information that isn’t public knowledge, summer. I mean, unless you had something to do with it. I– I can’t even believe I’m asking you this right now, but did you kill stark?

Summer: Oh, my god. You can’t be s– don’t be ridiculous, daniel.

Daniel: Well, then tell me something that makes sense.

Summer: None of this makes any sense. Don’t you see that?

Daniel: Okay. Maybe I should go ask chance.

Summer: No, don’t bring him into this.

Daniel: Why not?

Summer: Fine. Fine.

Daniel: So there is something.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: If I tell you, you have to swear to me that you’re not gonna tell anyone else, daniel. It is life or death.

Daniel: Summer, I’m your brother. I wanna be here for you. I want to protect you. I mean, it’s obviously something that you feel like you can’t tell the police.

Summer: Everything I said last night was true. I thought that I could handle this on my own, but I can’T. I’m not crazy. I know what happened to stark because I heard it from the only other person who was there. The person who stabbed him to death. Mom. She’s alive.

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?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

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.

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!

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.

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.
