This is from our Lifetime Press Day. This was my favorite of the 4 movies we saw. It’s very suspenseful! I love all of these actors, and they did a great job. Harry was not originally scheduled to be there, so it was a pleasant surprise!

ABOUT BEL-AIR SEASON 2:
Set in modern-day Los Angeles, Peacock’s successful one-hour drama series Bel-Air imagines the beloved sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air through a new, dramatic take on Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. As these two worlds collide, Will reckons with the power of second chances while navigating the conflicts, emotions, and biases of a world far different from the only one he’s ever known.

Season two of Bel-Air picks up with Will at a crossroads as a new figure comes into his life who challenges what he’s learned in Bel-Air and competes for control of his influence. He juggles this while navigating his home life with the Banks family and trying to rebuild the trust that was broken at the end of last season. We’ll see Will and Carlton’s brotherhood start to evolve as they grow closer, but still challenge each other about their differences. We’ll also see Hilary evolve as she becomes more of a boss in her influencer world and how that spills over into her relationship with Jazz, and also highlight the relatable struggles around Viv and Phil balancing marriage and family while trying to forge their own career paths and reconnect to the things that are important to them.

Inspired by Morgan Cooper’s viral trailer that reimagined the iconic, culture-defining ‘90s sitcom, Bel-Air takes a fresh and raw approach to this world of swagger, style, and aspiration, while exploring Will’s complex journey through a current lens. The series features an ensemble cast that introduces new sensation Jabari Banks as Will and a creative team that includes showrunner, executive producer and writer Carla Banks Waddles and Cooper, who serves as executive producer.

Adam: Ah, which doesn’t diminish how pleased I am to be your date for the evening.

Nick: Huh.

How about a photo, the four of you?

Adam: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Uh…yeah, why not?

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Great.

There we go.

Beautiful, guys.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Sharon: Okay, well, um, why don’t we go inside? I’m looking forward to having a glass of champagne. Oh, I’m sorry. That was insensitive of me.

Sally: Oh, no worries. Not having alcohol for a few more months is totally worth it.

Adam: Yes. Yes, it is.

[ Camera shutters clicking ] Okay.

Steve!

Steve, over here!

Nick: Thank you.

You look beautiful! I love your dress!

There we go.

Oh, jack!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Diane!

Great!

Diane: There’s so much press here tonight. Are we really doing this, announcing our engagement to the world?

Jack: You’re talking to the wrong guy. I am madly in love and ready to shout it from the rooftops.

Leanna: I left my press credentials at the hotel! You’re not really gonna make me go back and get them, are you? You know who I am!

Diane: Even with a mask on.

Jack: I would know that voice.

Diane: Mm. And the hair.

Leanna: It’s me — leanna love.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Perfect. There we go.

Gorgeous!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Leanna: Well, well. Jack abbott. And diane jenkins. Oh! I have to admit, I was stunned and fascinated to hear you were still alive! And now here you are, accompanying jack to this momentous occasion. How spectacular is that? Wait a minute. Are you two a thing?

Jack: What brings you by tonight, leanna?

Leanna: Well, how could i stay away? I have so many fond memories of genoa city. And who better to cover the celebration of the century — no, make that two centuries — than moi, G.C.’S own celebrity journalista?

Leanna!

Leanna!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Over here, over here!

Diane! Jack!

There we go!

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hi.

Billy: You’re not dressed.

Chelsea: I’m running a little behind. Uh, I can’t decide what to wear.

Billy: Well, you left the industry, but you’re still a fashion icon. I’m sure there’s plenty of things up in your closet that you’re gonna look gorgeous in.

Chelsea: Thanks. Yeah. I just need to pick one and get on with it.

Billy: So, this isn’t about the dress. What’s up?

Chelsea: I just have a little anxiety about facing everybody all in one place, so I started to go down the rabbit hole.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: I thought I was ready for this, billy, but now… I’m not sure if I can be your date.

Diane: As thrilled as you are to see everyone, I think you’ll find that the top-tier guests are less than thrilled to see you.

Jack: Consider yourself warned.

Leanna: Oh, pish-posh. Any bad blood is so much bubbly under the bridge. We’ve all moved on, haven’t we? No, I’m quite certain everyone will be tickled to see me.

Diane: Well, think what you like.

Leanna: But the real reason I’m here tonight is because there are going to be so many juicy stories to write about. With a lot of power players on hand, who knows what could happen? I might even get another book out of it.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Ms. Love, over here, over here! Right here.

Yeah, could we get…

Jack: I am a little concerned our news will get out sooner than we anticipated.

Diane: Listen, I don’t want that blabbermouth leaking the news of our engagement before we make our official announcement. Jack, you should hang on to this so that no one sees it.

Jack: Until the time is right.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Stacy, harvey, one more over here.

Victor… why are you still

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: Oh, michael, I am so excited. It’s going to be amazing.

Michael: It’s beyond amazing. People are gonna love the surprise you cooked up for them. You, young lady, have outdone yourself.

Nikki: Oh, that’s only because I had such a stellar planning committee. I could trust all of you to put the finishing touches on this event so that I could focus on…

Michael: Ah, other things.

Nikki: Exactly.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Oh, and before I get busy greeting guests, I just want to say the food and drink that you and lauren organized — I mean, it’s — it’s out of this world.

Michael: Why, thank you, lady.

Nikki: And speaking of your lovely wife, is she on her way?

Michael: Oh, my.

Nikki: Because she is pushing the limits of fashionably late.

Michael: I got a text. She is on her way. Um, I don’t interfere with a woman when she’s getting ready for a thing like this.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Good idea. I just hope she gets here before the presentation.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nick: I’m glad I didn’t eat. Got quite a spread.

Sally: And that ice sculpture, you could hide a truck behind that thing.

Victoria: You know, um, unfortunately, I can’t really.

Say the same thing for your camouflage technique.

Sally: Uh, I beg your pardon.

Victoria: Well, I mean, you’re doing your best to hide the fact that you’re expecting. But you’re kind of drawing more attention to it. You shouldn’t worry about it. You don’t have to be self-conscious. I mean, worst-case scenario, you can just wear your mask, right?

Nick: Vick’s right. You don’t have to try and hide it. I doubt anyone figures it out. And if they do, who cares? You look beautiful. You got this.

Nikki: Well, don’t you all look breathtaking?

Victoria: Oh, look who’s talking.

Nick: Stunning, mother. Stunning.

Victoria: Beautiful.

Nikki: Well, thank you. It’s your father’s favorite color.

Nick: Party is shaping up nicely.

Sally: Yeah. Looks like a really big turnout.

Nikki: So far, so good.

Victoria: Yep, it feels like a big old genoa city party.

Nikki: Well, that’s what we were going for.

Victoria: And the decorations look great.

Nick: Really great, mom.

Nikki: Oh, well, if you think this room is dazzling, just you wait.

Victoria: Oh?

Sally: Sounds like you have some surprises up your sleeve. I love surprises.

Adam: Guess we should go join the family, talk about nikki’s dress. Will you be okay with that?

Sharon: Yeah, of course. Unless you’re planning on causing trouble.

Adam: Me?

Victor: Now, ashley, why in the world would you lower yourself to be seen with this man in public, let alone as his date, considering your history?

Tucker: We’re not really interested in your opinion.

Ashley: I’m perfectly capable of deciding who I want to hang out with, but thank you so much.

Victor: Tucker, old boy, you’re being used. You know that, don’t you? Ashley has a plan for you. I don’t know what that is, but I’m very curious to find out how it all plays out. Meanwhile, why don’t you sell your company to me?

Tucker: Oh, would you like to buy my company?

Victor: Yes. When are you gonna make a decision?

Tucker: I’m currently working out a deal with devon.

Victor: Oh, you are? Well, devon — well, I’ll be damned. Good luck with that.

[ Laughter ] Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to have to say hello to jill.

Ashley: Have a wonderful evening.

Victor: You do the same.

Adam: Great party.

Nick: Yes, it is. Mom went all out.

Sharon: You certainly did, nikki. Congratulations on another amazing gala.

Nikki: Oh, well, thank you, sharon. Victoria, there’s the lieutenant governor. Let’s go say hello.

Victoria: I’m right behind you.

Nick: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Uh, well, things seemed a little awkward out front. Are we — we all good?

Nick: Everything’s great.

Adam: Good. Think I might use that photo of the four of us for my christmas card this year.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Right.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Oh, my.

Traci: I’m so glad you got my invitation, mamie. And I love that you’re actually here. You mean so much to us.

Mamie: Oh, thank you for thinking of me, traci. I was so happy to hear from you. Oh, my, my, this place has not changed at all. And I see so many faces that I recognize. Oh, it’s so wonderful to be here.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Find the brands, inspiration, and value

Billy: So, here’s the thing with these big social events, with the small talk and the air kisses — not really my thing, okay? I don’t find them relaxing at all. So I get it. Okay? And if you want to stay home and watch a movie and chill out, I’m fine with that. There’s no pressure here.

Chelsea: Pop some popcorn?

[ Chuckles ] Sounds like heaven.

Billy: Okay, cool. I told jack that I was gonna go, so I’m just gonna let him know, okay?

Chelsea: Wait, hold on, hold on. Maybe that’s a mistake.

Billy: What do you mean?

Chelsea: Giving in to my anxieties. My therapist would probably say that it’s good to face the situation, you know, to get out in a crowd, venture outside my comfort zone.

Billy: Okay. “Probably” isn’t for sure, though, and I’m not sure I see a reason why you would intentionally make yourself uncomfortable.

Chelsea: Well, I mean, this is kind of the ideal scenario, isn’t it? I mean, the focus is gonna be on the event, right? Not on me. I mean, nobody cares about me. I can just blend in and be an observer and see some people I want to see, and hopefully, have some lovely conversations. Plus, if I am going to be working with daniel, I have to learn to get out into the world again, right? So I think I just need to put on a fancy dress and face my fears and stay strong. That’s what dr. Malone would say, right?

She could, or she could say, “if you’re not ready, you don’t have to push yourself.”

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Look at those two.

Abby: Oh, they’re probably just making nice. Develop yeah. It seems like your dad is very interested in whatever it is jill has to say.

Abby: Do you think he knows about jill’s change of heart?

Jill: Very good.

Victor: See you.

Jill: Yes, you will.

[ Sighs ]

Mamie: Jill foster.

Jill: Mamie johnson? Well, how delightful to see you. That is a beautiful dress.

Mamie: Well, thank you. You paid for it.

Jill: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. You still traveling the world on my dollar, are you?

Mamie: Oh, but I’ve invested it very wisely. Your $1 million has turned into $10 million over time.

Jill: Whoa. Good for you. But then, of course, you were always very, very shrewd.

Mamie: And you were always —

Jill: An abbott.

Mamie: What’s that?

Jill: I go by jill abbott. I have for decades. But you knew that, didn’t you?

Mamie: Can’t say that i recall.

Jill: Hmm. Look, mamie, uh, you and I both said some things over the years, you know, and maybe done some things that perhaps we regret now. But look at us. We’ve aged gracefully and beautifully, so why don’t we just let bygones be bygones, huh?

Mamie: I don’t think so.

Michael: You are an absolute goddess.

Lauren: Worth the wait?

Michael: Every damn second.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Thanks, baby.

Nikki: Oh, here you are.

Lauren: Oh. Am I that late?

Nikki: You’re just in time. Come on.

Lauren: Okay, great.

Michael: Alright.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: Ladies and gentlemen.

Michael: Ladies and gentlemen!

[ Bell dinging ]

Nikki: Good evening, genoa city. I am nikki newman, co-chair of this event. You having fun?

Guests: Yeah! Whoo!

Nikki: Excellent. If you could start making your way towards the lounge in the next few minutes, we have a very special surprise for you.

Devon: Ready to go? Okay?

[ Sighs ] Do you still want to be angry at me? Hey, um, I just want you to know I’m very proud of you — everything that you’ve accomplished, all your success. Okay? He’s a good man. He will achieve anything that he goes for. Know that, lily. Know that about him.

[ Sobs ]

Dylan: Oh, my god. I am so sorry.

Lily: No, no, no, no, no. That’s — that’s — I don’t know what that was.

Dylan: She’s been all over the place lately. I mean, really erratic. I would say that I’m worried about her, but I don’t know, I think that’s what she wants.

Jack: Well, shall we head to the lounge?

Traci: Hello?

Jack: Oh, aunt traci. We didn’t see you.

Mamie: Is this your boy, jack?

Jack: This is my boy. Kyle, summer, I would love you to meet the woman that raised traci and ashley and me. This is mamie johnson. Kyle, if you don’t remember her, believe me, she remembers you.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Oh, you’re so handsome and so tall. And you have a lovely wife and a son now. Oh, what a lovely couple you are. Jackie, its the spitting image of you. I hope that he has your values, as well.

Jack: Oh, he does. An occasional misstep, but, yeah, he’s on the right track.

Mamie: Well, I don’t doubt that. You and his mother raised him well.

Diane: We’re about to go in for the big reveal, whatever that might be. Would you care to join us, mamie?

Mamie: I’d love to.

Traci: You know what? I’m gonna get us some champagne and meet you in there, okay? I’m so glad we got here in time.

Summer: In time for what?

Kyle: Is this your big announce–

Jack: Um, no.

Kyle: What, then?

Traci: I think I might have a little inkling of what’s about to happen, being on the planning committee and all.

[ Laughter ]

Summer: Hmm, well, I will get some champagne with traci. And you go get us a good spot in the lounge. I don’t want to miss any of grandma and grandpa’s speeches.

Kyle: Okay.

Jack: Shall we?

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Ladies? Lucky me. Look at this.

[ Light laughter ]

Summer: Good to see you.

Traci: Thank you.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hey.

Traci: Well, hi, phyllis.

Phyllis: Traci. [ Chuckles ]

Summer: Yes, mom?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Summer: What is it? Kyle’s waiting for me.

Phyllis: I’m sure you want to go in and listen to nikki and victor drone on and on, right?

Summer: Mom, why are you being like this, especially tonight?

Phyllis: Um… I know that we’ve had conflicts summer, but, um… I want you to know that I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become, and impressed with the mother you’ve become. No matter what happens, I want you to know I’m proud of you. I’m so proud of you. You know? Okay?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] My mom acting weirder than usual?

Traci: I-I-I don’t — it was — I don’t know. It was hard to say. She said some beautiful things, but it seemed very desperate and strange. I’m kareem abdul-jabbar.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: May I have your attention, please? Thank you all for coming. This is such a momentous occasion. The 200th birthday of this great city we call home.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Victor: And contrary to rumors, I was not here at the founding of this town.

[ Laughter ] However, as many of you, I came here many, many years ago, built somewhat of a successful business. Raised a wonderful family, as many of you have.

Nikki: And many of us have had our differences over the years. We have all shared a lot of love and laughter. This event is the celebration of how our city has grown and continues to thrive. A city with a small-town feel, where business titans can create empires and a coffee shop can feel like a second home where people gather to commiserate, mourn, celebrate, and even fall in love.

Victor: Oh, yes.

[ Light laughter ] And you know, I know this is a great town because many of you have chosen to come back to raise your kids here, to tell them and to show them what a wonderful town this is.

Nikki: The success of our city is due to our values. We welcome the changes that keep it young and vibrant, and also celebrate and honor our heritage, while always remembering those we have lost. People like my dear friend katherine chancellor.

Victor: Yes, and my dear friend neil winters, gone too soon.

Nikki: We paid tribute to katherine in one of our favorite places, chancellor park…

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: …And thought it was only fitting that tonight we honor another citizen who was so instrumental in making this the dynamic city that it is and, more importantly, the city we love to call home.

Victor: And I invite my daughter abby to a special presentation.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Neil winters was a huge part of the fabric of genoa city. He made a lasting impact with his work, his family, the abbott-winters foundation, and of course, hamilton-winters. So tonight we are here, we are able to celebrate in this beautiful room that was created in his memory to welcome both visitors and citizens alike to enjoy the music that he loved so much. So it is my honor and privilege to officially unveil the newly renovated athletic club lounge as the neil winters jazz lounge.

[ Cheers and applause ] As many of you know, neil had a club — his beloved club, indigo — that he sold so he could spend more time with his family. I know he missed it very much. It was a place where he could show his friends hospitality, spend evenings with them, and they can enjoy the americana music that meant so much to him.

Victor: Yes.

Abby: So please enjoy this ongoing gift to our community.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] I don’t know what to day. This is such an amazing gesture. Really.

Nikki: Oh, well, neil was such a dear, dear friend. Just seemed like the right time and place to launch a permanent tribute to him.

Devon: Oh, it certainly is. And thank you so much. And how did you keep this a secret from me?

Abby: Oh, I was dying to tell you, but surprise.

[ Chuckles ]

Photographer: How about I get a group photo of you all?

Victor: Yes.

Devon: Sure. Please.

Victor: Here you are, darling. Here we go.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Photographer: Great. Can I get a photo of you with the newmans?

Lily: Yeah, sure.

Photographer: Alright. Alright. Get on in.

[ Camera shutter clicking ] Alright. Thank you very much.

Nikki: Thank you.

Devon: Thanks. Wow.

Lily: I honestly can’t even tell you how much it means to me that you would honor my father like this. Thank you.

Victor: You know, your dad was not only a business partner, but he was a close friend. One of the few friends I’ve ever had.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I know that he would move heaven and earth to make sure that the two of you bridge your differences and get rid of the conflict that exists between you. I know that he would wish that fervently. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Jill: You know what, devon? Even in a photograph, he is the sexiest man in the room. No offense, okay?

Devon: No, not at all. None taken.

Jill: I really love this place, every inch of it. Wow. What a great homage to your father.

Devon: I know. Really, really is. Jill, I have a question to ask you.

Jill: Mm-hmm?

Devon: Did victor have anything to do with you changing your mind about the ipo?

Jill: Did you know that victor is one of your biggest supporters?

Mamie: You know, you have your mother’s spirit, don’t you?

Lily: Oh, god. I wish.

[ Both chuckle ]

Mamie: She was a beautiful woman, lily.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Mamie: And strong. And you’re just like that. Oh, it makes me feel happy to be here with you.

Lily: Oh, me too. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Mamie: So, how are your young ones? It’s charlie and maddie?

Lily: Maddie? Yes, that’s right. They’re good. They’re really good. They’re just busy, you know? Too busy to call their mother, of course.

Mamie: Isn’t that how it always goes?

[ Both laugh ] Oh, nathan jr. How is my favorite doctor?

Nate: I am good. I’m good. It is so good to see you, aunt mamie. But I think we need to update you on a few things.

Mamie: Oh.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Mamie: So, then maybe the three of us gets together to update on a few things?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, I would love that.

Mamie: However, you got to do it, because I’m not gonna be here long, and I don’t know when I’ll be back this way again. So let’s make a date.

Lily: Okay. Sounds good.

Nate: Can I help you up?

Mamie: Oh, I can manage, honey.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Lily: I will make sure to set up a time for us all to get together.

Nate: Thanks. Neil would have dug this place.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Yeah, he would have. I really wish he could have seen it. So, how’s elena? I haven’t seen her.

Nate: She’s still at memorial. She should be joining me anytime now.

Lily: Okay.

Nate: I, uh — I hope this moment, this event can help repair some of the damage between you and devon.

Lily: Well, it’s not really any of your business, nate, so you probably stay out of it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Audra: How many rejections before you accept that reuniting those two is a lost cause?

Nate: Never say “never,” audra.

Victoria: Oh, excuse me for one minute. I need to steal your boss.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Leanna: Imagine creating a fabulous new venue to honor a true genoa city legend. I knew neil winters back in the day, and he was one classy guy.

Ashley: Okay, I can’t take it anymore. I’m just gonna let her have it.

[ Gasps ] Oh!

Mamie: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Mamie!

Mamie: Sweet ashley.

Ashley: Oh, I’ve missed you. I heard you’re staying with us.

Mamie: That’s right. Your brother’s been so generous. You know, he’s always been that way.

Ashley: I don’t know about that. I need you to set him straight like you used to do as a kid —

Mamie: What’s going on?

Ashley: Oh, excuse me. This is a private conversation.

Leanna: Mamie johnson. What you must know about each and every abbott.

Ashley: Okay, just stop, alright? You want me to create a scene? Is that what you’re trying to do? What are you doing?

Leanna: Now, now, my dear, claws in.

Ashley: I’m not your “dear.” I never have been your dear. Okay? Just knock it off.

Leanna: Whoa.

Victor: My goodness, if it isn’t leanna love.

Leanna: Victor!

Victor: I haven’t seen you in years.

Leanna: Amazing! You look so great! How are you?

Victor: Well, I’m alright, but, you know, I don’t think you are invited to this.

Leanna: No, I wasn’t invited. But you know me, victor. I don’t need an invitation.

Jill: No, she sure doesn’T.

Victor: Don’t you be a bad girl, now.

Jill: Do you, leanna? You’re trashing up the place, as usual, aren’t you?

Leanna: Oh, my gosh. I can see I’m outnumbered. So much for this being a forgiving town.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Oh, this is a lot of fun.

Jill: Just a heads-up. Devon suspects that you were the one who caused my change of heart.

Victor: He’s very bright. What did you say?

Jill: I didn’t say anything concrete.

Victor: Well, you know, I think he and lily were very moved by my gesture for neil. You know?

Jill: This is all part of your plan, isn’t it?

Victor: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Devon, we’re so close. I mean, can’t we fix this? Moderate to severe eczema

Chelsea: On the other hand…

[ Chuckles ] I keep saying that, don’t I?

Billy: It’s okay. You’re your own devil’s advocate.

Chelsea: I just feel like if I try to test myself while I’m on shaky ground, is it even a fair test? Am I just setting myself up to fail?

Billy: There’s no right or wrong answer here. It’s what you think is best for yourself. That’s it, that’s all. Okay? If you’re still feeling nervous about it, it’s alright. We’ll keep it low-key. I’ll go home and change. You pick out a movie, I’ll be back before you know it.

Chelsea: It would be a shame if no one saw you looking so good in this tuxedo.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: Screw my insecurities. I’m ready for this.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Madame?

Victoria: Thanks. So, what should we drink to?

Nate: [ Sighing ] Hmm. How about your mom, dad, and sister for doing such a great job in dedicating the new jazz club?

Victoria: Hear, hear.

Nate: Mmm. So, did you know?

Victoria: About the club?

Nate: Yeah. I can’t help wondering if you were aware and managed to keep it a secret from me.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] No, no, they kept it under wraps. It was completely a surprise to me, too.

Nate: I could tell it meant a lot to devon and lily that the newmans would do something like this to honor their father. Maybe to help ease the tension.

Victoria: You really do care about your cousins.

Nate: Hmm. Yeah. I’d like nothing more than for my family to find peace.

Audra: Hmm. Victoria doesn’t seem to be wasting any time.

[ Knock on door ]

Jeremy: Who is it?

Phyllis: Me. Please open up.

Jeremy: Thought I told you, we need to be discreet.

Phyllis: Trust me, I’m the picture of discretion. I’m — the party — what are you doing up here?

Jeremy: Everything here is all set. You got my text, right?

Phyllis: Yes.

Jeremy: Okay. Hey, you’re not having second thoughts, are you?

Phyllis: Uh, no.

Jeremy: Okay.

Phyllis: Seeing that woman with my daughter, laughing and carrying on, just cemented everything for me.

Jeremy: Good. Now it’s time to get diane up here to set the final stage.

Jack: What? You wanted to talk to me about something.

Diane: Well, after the newmans unveiled this place, I started thinking, maybe tonight isn’t the right time to share our news.

Jack: I agree. Hard act to follow. You know, I don’t want it to appear that we’re trying to steal everyone’s thunder by announcing our engagement either.

Diane: Certainly not.

Jack: We’ll know when the moment is here, and it will be perfect, I promise. Ours is the perfect love story. After all these years, everything we’ve been through, together and apart, we’re about to become mr. And mrs. Jack abbott.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Okay?

Diane: Mmm.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Kyle: I don’t know you. But I take it you never stop looking for trouble.

Leanna: It’s what I do best.

Danny: I met gina over at the airport, and we came straight here.

Traci: Oh, you look fab.

Michael: Oh!

Diane: We’re done here, phyllis. It’s over.

Phyllis: Oh, believe me, for the first time in your life, you are correct. It is so over.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Hello, eileen. – Welcome back to the safe house. – Is all this cloak and dagger still necessary? – Yes. – Yes. – See, I don’t think it is. I think it amuses you to torture me by having felicia scorpio put a bag over my head and transport me here like I’m– – like what? Like– like someone who would sell us out to victor if she knew our location. – I ‘t do that. – And we’re supposed to take your word on that? – Of course not. But you have all the leverage. So your best interests are my best interests. – And you know what? We would like to keep that imbalance of power in our favor for now. – Fine. Tell me what you want me to do and I’ll do it. You can at least rely on me for that. – Well, I hope so, because we can’t afford to make one single misstep. And neither can you. – Figure if you aren’t hungry, you can at least stay hydrated. – What is that? – It’s an organic herbal tea that’s meant to promote healthy lactation. – So you say. – Don’t worry, esme. Drugging people is kind of more of a you thing. – Spencer. – Good morning, grandmother. – I’d like it to be for everyone, including esme, so let’s not forget that esme is our guest. – How could I possibly forget? – Ok, look, I– I expected this to be a bumpy transition, but we want esme to feel welcome, don’t we? – Of course. Forgive me, esme. – I won’t stay anyplace where I feel unwanted or unwelcome. So wherever I go, ace goes.

[Knocking] – I’ll get that. Uncle victor, what brings you by? – Well, what else? I’ve come for my nephews. – Stop right there, young lady. – I thought the house was empty. – You mean you hoped it was empty. Why are you sneaking in here like this isn’t your home? – Because I’m not sure if it is.

[Soft music] – Hey, I was hoping i could still find you here. – Picking up my last paycheck. – Wow. End of an era, huh? – Yeah. So why were you looking for me? – Thanks for the update. Burner phone didn’t pan out. Britt couldn’t id the contractor from the warehouse. – So that’s it, dead end?

[Dramatic music] – Can you meet me at the pier, 55, in an hour? First rule of survival, in this business, you never give up.


they’re not gonna stop after the first attempt. You have to keep digging. – Do you think your family’s at risk? – I’m taking precautions. I don’t know. – Why not? – Because when it’s a hit like this, a hired gun, the only thing that matters is taking out the target. – I was thinking about our conversation yesterday. – About dropping the charges against esme? – No. About dex.

[Music playing] (Singing) can’t sleep. I can’t breathe on my own right now. – I know there’s a lot up in the air with curtis and your mama. But one thing I can say for sure, on behalf of them and myself, trina, you will always have a home with us. – Doesn’t feel much like home, does it? I mean, when I came in here, I half expected to find a tumbleweed.

[Laughs] – Yeah, it is looking mighty grim up in here. What with portia constantly working and curtis at the metro court, hell, to avoid the quiet, I’ve been staying out. – Out with ms. Epiphany? – Nah, epiphany, she’s– she’s still out of town. Remember, I told you that she had gotten accepted to a whole slew of medical schools out of state– johns hopkins. – Oh, my god. – He’s the front runner. – Oh, my god. That’s– that’s amazing! That’s really good for her. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is good for her. – So maryland isn’t that far, is it? – Uh, no, the fast train only takes 9 and 1/2 hours. – So airplane is out of question. – Lookm I could do that. But that– that’s really not what’s troubling me. Epiphany moving to baltimore or somewhere, everything that’s happening here, I don’t know where I fit in. – [Sighs]. I know the feeling. – Uncle victor, right now is not the best time. – You’re not welcome here. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. – Laura. Well, at least you’re giving me a choice in the matter this time. – I would prefer you leave on your own, but I can and I will have you physically removed by security. – No, that’s not necessary, grandmother. Please don’t do that. I will handle this. – My dear spencer, you of all people should know I’m not one to be handled.

[Infant cries] – That’s not what I meant, and I think that you know that. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to have a word with you out in the hallway, please. – Very well. Lead the way. – After you. I insist. – [Scoffs]

[Infant cries] – I’m sorry about that. I will do my best never to have him bother you again. – Ever? Sorry, I just get this really bad feeling every time victor cassadine’s around. – That’s because victor cassadine is a very bad man. – When I told you that esme and the baby were staying here, I did not expect you to just show up. – That child is a cassadine. He belongs with cassadines. I will go wherever I want, take what or whoever I want, and woe betide anyone who gets in my way. – Including me? – So you’re gonna call victor, and you’re going to set up a meet for today. – Tell him you have a very special delivery. I cannot stress this enough. This is the most critical juncture of our plan. – It is imperative that victor believes you are delivering the thing that he’s been looking for. – Something’s gone wrong, hasn’t it, some kind of setback. – Not that it’s any of your business, but we have had to widen our circle of trust. – Time is no longer on our side. We have to be sure of our allies. – Don’t worry. I won’t double cross you. – You’ve thrown in with my father before. How do we know you haven’t struck a deal with him already? – Because I value my own life. Victor has proven anyone is disposable, even his own son. I would be a fool to betray the only people willing to give me a chance to survive. – People have died protecting the information engraved in that piece of the ice princess. Now we’re giving victor what he wants. – So he thinks.


– It’s actually a very good forgery. – How very good? Because you know victor will have an expert authenticate this. – Well, that is why you have to set up the meet for today, so he doesn’t have a chance to call an expert in. – Hopefully, you will have left before the questions are raised. – How are you going to protect me? You know victor doesn’t like to meet in public spaces. – Right. We have taken every precaution. Da scorpio will be near the location ready with backup. – And if the operation goes south, the cavalry will ride in. But in order to offer you that protection, you need to be wired for sound. – Are you insane? First you send me in with a fake necklace, and now you want me to wear a wire? If victor catches on, he will kill me. – We need to know everything that’s happening in real time. – You want victor, keep that wire, or the deal is off. – It’s a damn shame your buddy cam is leaving. – I know. I’m really gonna miss him. – Yeah, seemed like a good kid, that one– loyal, reliable. – Unlike spencer. – Nobody said anything about spencer. – You didn’t say his name, but come on, I know how you all feel about him. – At this point, I’m not sure how I feel about spencer cassadine, apart from the fact that he seems to tie you up in knots. – Ok, well, maybe it’s best that we don’t talk about him. I’m just gonna go grab those photos and I’ll be on my way. I’m sorry for even bringing him up. – What’s on the tongue is on the mind. What’s troubling you? – Spencer is living with his ex-girlfriend again. – You, of all people, understand nuance and diplomacy. – Usually. – Well, this is a very complicated situation. There are many people involved, and they all want the same thing, to protect ace. – God, that name. – I know, it’s got to go. But despite our common goal, we all have different methods. – All right, so what’s your method? – Putting esme back in prison where she belongs and away from that baby. And then as next of kin, I will retain custody, and I would never dream of keeping that baby away from his great uncle. – A short time ago you asked for my help in this matter. Do you still need it? – I do, but we cannot talk about that here. – There we go. – You wanted coffee? I make a pretty good cup. – Are you sure? Spencer said it’s not good for breastfeeding mothers. – Oh, well, spencer means well, but he’s no expert. Coffee is fine in moderation. So go ahead and enjoy. – Mmm, not bad.

[Laughs] – Thank you. Esme, I hope you know that you’re protected here. – Even from spencer?

[Door opens] – Grandmother, esme, I am so sorry for my great uncle’s intrusion. That will not happen again. Hi. How you doing? So handsome. I’ll see you later, ok? – Where are you off to? – I’m gonna go pick up trina for cam’s party. – Oh, ok. – All right, so, see you later. You’ll be there, right? – Of course.

[Baby gurgling] – Um, cameron webber? – Yes, yes, my grandson has been accepted to a very prestigious athletic program in california. – Good to know I didn’t ruin his life too. – The person you used to be, esme, did an awful lot of damage. – Yeah, damage you can never forgive. – Congratulations on getting into stanford. – Thank you. How did you know? – Well, spencer told me, uh, more than once, he’s very proud of you. – He is. You know, it’s kind of hard to tell, because he makes fun of me every time it’s brought up. – Yeah, that’s how you know he’s very proud of you. So have a great time at stanford. You’re gonna be missed. – Thanks. Anyway, I don’t actually work here anymore. But if you want, I can take down your order and let the waiters know. – Two cups of coffee to go. – On it. – Can I talk to you for a second? You wait here.

[Soft music] – What’s this about?

[Dramatic music] – I’m just rooting out my enemies.


– Tell me you have what I asked for. – You know I wouldn’t dare let you down, victor. – I should hope not. Bring it to me tonight. – Well, the longer we wait, the better the chance they’ll notice it’s missing, and figure out I’m the one that took it. Unless you want it to end up back in the secure evidence locker with zero chance of getting it out again, we need to do this now.

[Knocking] – My suite, metro court, 45 minutes, not one second later, you got that? Spencer. Thank you. – Sorry about earlier, but I could not risk– – no, I understand. Now, I have a business meeting starting soon, so let’s get right down to brass tacks. What exactly do you want to happen to esme? – Which enemies? You have so many. – Just keep an eye out. Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary when you’re with your mother and your sisters. – Are you gonna tell me why? – I’m not gonna give you the details, no. – Oh. Don’t worry about it. I already know. – Yeah? How? – I’ll be out of here as soon as sonny’s done with joss. – Well, while you’re here, there’s some stuff I want to say to you. – The fact that I don’t remember what I did to your family doesn’t absolve me. I mean, I’ve hurt both cameron and spencer, among others, and– – yes, you did. – But you’re still letting me stay here? – I’m letting you stay here because I wanted my newest grandson to be safe and well cared for and not in a prison. Well, that’s– that’s not entirely true. There’s another reason. I know the pain of being separated from your child. I think I told you that I was separated from my son, nicholas, for many years, because of the cassadines. – Yeah, which is exactly what spencer is trying to do to me. – But spencer has a lot of good reasons to distrust you. Esme, I’m a mother, and I know how much having a new baby can change someone. I also happen to believe in redemption. – Well, does that mean that– do you believe in me? – I want to. I am trying to. – But you’re not there yet? – That doesn’t mean that I won’t be. What about you? Do you believe in me? Can you accept that i want what’s best for you? – So esme and the baby are living with spencer’s grandmother in her apartment, while spencer also lives there. – Whoa, I see. – I know esme doesn’t remember all the terrible things that she did, but I still don’t trust her. – Good for you. You shouldn’t trust her. Girl should be behind bars. I’m furious that they dropped the charges, too, and denied you justice. – Well, actually, it was my idea to get the da to stop pursuing the case, just for now. – What in the lord’s name possessed you to do that? – Oh, I’m having second thoughts about it now, even though I convinced spencer there’s a better chance of getting the charges to stick if we wait. – Spencer again. Right? Why does it seem that you’re the only one making concessions in this friendship? – Spencer’s been there for me too. – Has he? – He has. His life is just complicated. – Right. With no sign of it ever getting simpler. Trina, please, tell me. Why do you need to remain friends with spencer cassadine? – When you first asked for my help, you were concerned that esme was going to raise her child in prison. But that’s been resolved now. – Thanks to trina, we got the da to hold off on formally pursuing the case, yes. – Good for trina. Yeah, best to keep the law at bay, at least until you know they’re on your side. – The problem is now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Spencer, I have sacrificed a great deal, trying to make this world a better place and preserving our family’s legacy into the bargain. Sadly, your father had neither the faith nor the resolve to help me in my aims. Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir, not while there’s a breath left in my body.

[Dramatic music]


– Spencer is really worth it. – But is he worthy? Clearly, you– you brighten his day. That’s you. That’s what you do. – Thanks. I try. – [Chuckles] But how does he make you feel? – He makes me feel– he makes me feel like I’m the best thing that ever happened to him. – Oh. Is that so? Sounds like spencer has become a special friend. Is that why you’re so bugged out with he and esme sharing the same space? – It’s not that I don’t trust him around her. – Then what is it? – It was just strange, seeing them all together, looking like a family. – Well, I’d just say– stop me if I’m wrong here. But this sounds more– more like something else than friendly concern. – Well, spencer is more than just a friend. Our relationship has evolved over a couple of weeks. And I just haven’t told anybody about it. – And why not? – Everybody’s been busy or avoiding each other. – Perhaps. Or is it because you’re not quite sure of it yourself? – From the first time I remember seeing you– and definitely, the night you helped me deliver ace– you have been nothing but kind to me. But spencer is your grandson, and he doesn’t think I can raise my own son. – So you don’t know who to trust. – Even if I could trust someone, why would they trust me? – Ok, so you need someone to take the first leap of faith. I’m willing to do that. Yeah. Let’s start right now. Ok, so everything here is all new to you. You’ve got to take a little time to adjust to your surroundings. So I’ll go out for a bit, and you can stay at home here on your own and just relax and bond with ace. – Uh, by myself, with– with no one looking over my shoulder? – Yes. Unless you’re worried about being alone with the baby. – Oh, no, no. I’m just surprised you trust me on my own. – You’re not a prisoner here. – Yeah, well, maybe this time. – All right, look. In case of emergency. – You know I could just take this and take off, right? – You could. But since you want what’s best for your baby, I have faith that you know that means staying right here. So you have a lovely morning. – I’ll take the necklace to victor. But the wire is a no-go. – We were afraid you might feel that way. – Well, do you have a backup plan, one that doesn’t involve me wearing a neon sign that says, victor, I’m betraying you? – If you won’t wear a wire, we won’t know you’re in trouble. But we have arranged for da scorpio to call you on official city business. – Yes, so if anything feels off, you raise the alarm, and he will come in and get you. – Ok. All right.

[Sighs] Fine. But I want you to promise your guarantee that once I deliver this necklace, I will be free to move on. – Well, this isn’t over until we crack the code and find out what it’s for. – Look, until we know what victor is after, honestly, eileen, none of us are free. – [Sighs] – After I found out about you and josslyn, there’s a lot of things I wanted to say to you, a lot of things i wanted to do to you. – I get it. – What I realized is that despite all my anger, all my feelings, all of that that doesn’t matter, because what matters is josslyn. She’s been my friend since forever. She still is. So if you hurt her, I will tell sonny about you too. And you’ll find your back on that road so fast, you’ll wish you would never have met her. – Josslyn, how do you know someone’s targeting you? – My mom told me that there was an incident– one big enough for you to beef up the security and keep donna from spending the night. – Temporarily. – I know the drill. Ok? And donna and avery are young, yes. But they’re starting to get used to it, too, and they think that this life is normal. And I just wish that that broke your heart even half as much as it breaks mine.


– Ok. – Ok? – You have made yourself clear. – Oh, you don’t think I’m serious. – No, I know you’re serious. I promise I will never hurt josslyn. – Good. See to it that you don’T. – I mean it. You have no idea how much I care about her. – Dex, time to roll. – Yes, sir. Thank you. – Oh, mr. Corinthos, please, no. I got it. – Thank you. I appreciate that. – Of course. – Good luck at stanford. – Thank you. So what did you and sonny talk about? – Oh, the usual. How his business affects the rest of us. And how about you and dex? – We talked. – I’m sorry. That was awkward. – Awkward’s kind of been our mo nowadays.

[Chuckles] – Yeah. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Listen, if you don’t want me at your goodbye party, I completely understand. – I want all my friends there. You are my friend, right? – Yeah. Sorry, it’s just, it’s really nice to hear you call me that. – What else would I call you? – Cam, we’ve been friends forever. And that’s not going to change just because of my feelings for dex. – So you guys are pretty serious now, huh? – Well, I mean, I could never be with someone so soon after our breakup if it was meaningless. – Right. I’ll see you later, joss. – If the da doesn’t have enough proof to convict esme, then we’ll just have to produce it. – You mean, frame her? – We both know she’s guilty. If your father hadn’t imprisoned her, she would never have lost her memory. But evidence can be– – manufactured. – Well, bottom line is esme’s going to have to face the music. And ace will be in the custody of those who care for him best– you, me– – grandmother? Do you mind if i get back to you? – Of course. You take all the time you need. But as you said, esme is a free woman and could decide to just take off at any time, taking with her your innocent and defenseless little brother. – What do you think, ace? She sounded pretty sincere, didn’t she? No? Here, we have food, warmth, and relative freedom. What more can we ask for? Yeah? Not that we really have any other offers, do we? You’re right. What is stopping them from just keeping you and tossing me out on the street? Yeah. What is it? What’s stopping them? I won’t let that happen.

[Baby cooing] – I trust spencer, and I trust the connection. But all of this is just new. And let’s just say some of my views are evolving. I guess that’s part of growing up. – Well, that never stops. Learning who we are, that’s a lifelong process. I don’t have to tell you, there are circumstances in life that will arise to make us question everything we thought about ourselves. You got to have good people in your corner to support you along the way. That’s all. Friends are great. Family is better. – But what if you don’t know who your family is? – Dna doesn’t determine family. Connection does.

[Chuckles] – Eileen has a lot to lose here. Yeah, I don’t think she ever had any real loyalty to victor. I think she’s always been in it for herself. I think that she will follow your instructions to the letter. – She’d better. Because if she screws up or turns on us, this is over. – You don’t sound confident. – All I’m saying is, we can’t let our guard down. Not where victor cassadine’s concerned. – Have you done as I asked? – I’m a woman of my word, victor. – Well, where is it? – As promised.

[Sispenseful music] – At last. – You summoned me? – Somebody tried to take me out. I thought that’s news to you. – I heard of your recent trouble. – You have any idea who’s behind it? – If only. An unprovoked attack is an unforgivable breach of decorum and a threat to us all. Any leads? – Whatever’s left of them. You recognize him? – A hit man, I presume? Not that I can say. What do you want to know about it? – Ok, if you don’t know, then somebody in your organization must know. And I heard he was spotted at the highsider last time I checked, that’s your bar, right? – I do own it. But I’m afraid i can’t help you. – Can’t? Or won’t?


rely an investment, one of the establishments I own a stake in. I don’t keep tabs on the customers. As a businessman, surely, you understand. – I’m disappointed. That’s the second time you’ve let me down in a couple of weeks. – But I don’t understand. – Ok, you bought my late cousin brando’s garage, am I right? – It was a good investment. And brando’s mother was eager to sell. – Right. She told me. What I want to know is, why didn’t you? – You’re absolutely right. In fact, I should have let you know I was considering it before negotiating with ms. Corbin. Please, accept my apologies. – Let me tell you something, selina. You mess with my family, you mess with me. – Of course. All of that said, i hope you are pleased. The garage can be beneficial for us both. – The garage is the least of my concerns. – Yes. The shooter’s connection to the highside is of concern to me as well. My people never do business there. Regardless, I’m sure someone must know the man in the photo. I’ll make inquiries. – You do that. Sonny? I hope you know how much I value our association. Rest assured, this enemy is one we share.

[Dramatic music] – Can she really be trusted? – You’re not nervous, are you, darling? – What? Yes, of course I’m nervous. Lucy just nearly got herself killed, and now, we’re sending eileen back into that same lion’s den, at greater risk, with just as little protection. – Well, look on the bright side. Nobody likes the woman. – That’s very unkind. – Anna, we are this close to figuring out the insanity that my father has been cooking up and ending it. And if anyone can finish the job, it’s us. – You know what they say– that most car accidents happen within a 10-mile radius of your home. We’re very close to home. Aren’t we? – Well, then i guess, buckle up. – You did well, eileen. – Oh, I’m so glad you’re pleased. – How did you manage it? – You don’t ask a magician her tricks. – Mm-hmm. Oh, wait, where are you– where are you going? – My office! I have a day’s work ahead. – Oh, nonsense. You can’t leave now. Not when we’re about to get to the most important part. – What’s more important than procuring a necklace from police lockup? I got it. You have it. – I want us to inspect this masterpiece together. Come on. Take a seat.

[Suspenseful music] – I know you’re not sure where you stand with your mom and curtis. But whatever happens you, and I, trina, we have forged our own relationship. I’m here. If you need to talk about anything– – even if I want to talk about spencer? – I said, anything. – Ok. – And whatever you say is going to stay between you and me. And I promise, I will always be honest with you. – Thanks. I appreciate that. – And in my honest opinion, if spencer cassadine’s life is going to remain so damn dramatic, maybe it’s time for you to exit stage left. – (Laughing) stop it.

[Doorbell rings] – (Laughing) oh, what is this? – Josslyn? Hi. – Hi. Um, you just missed cam. – Uh, ok. Well, I guess I’ll see him at his party. How about you? How are you doing? – Oh, you know. I’m having a lot of trouble about cam leaving. – Yes. Well, I’m going to miss him, too, but I’m also really proud of him. – I know. So am I. I mean, to play soccer at stanford– it’s huge, and it’s about time one of his dreams came true. – You were his first love. – And I broke his heart. – Aw. – What if he never forgives me? I mean, he says that we’re friends forever, but– – sweetheart, he’s hurt right now, and he feels alone. – Because of me. – Josslyn, you did what you had to do. You did. And cameron has to accept that, no matter how painful it is. He’s just going to need a little time. He’ll remember who really cares about him. – Grandmother, the mayor, may be on the up and up. But I’m not willing to wait around and find out.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: It’s a black diamond, just like spencer’s heart. Guess he really does want to marry you.

Sheila: He does. He wants to marry me. I– I can’t believe this is happening.

Bill: Any update?

Chen: There’s been no movement. Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Ridge: I’m hoping your girlfriend’s gonna make an honest man out of you.

Bill: Can it, dressmaker.

I’m putting on the performance

of a lifetime over here.

Ridge: Okay. Yeah, well, she’s buying it.

Bill: She better be

buying it because I can’t

stand another night with that

woman. In fact, I can’t stand

another moment with that

whack job.

Ridge: It’s all right. Hang in there. It’s almost over.

[ Bill sighing ]

Thomas: It’s still weird seeing me here, huh?

Hope: Yeah, but also, not that weird, if that makes sense.

Thomas: Yeah, it does. It’s like we fell right back into a groove. No time lost.

Hope: I’ll admit, I had my doubts about us being able to work together after everything we’ve been through, but.

Thomas: Yeah, but you were willing to give me another chance.

Hope: Well, I’ve seen the hard work you’ve put into it. I mean, the apologies you’ve made, the behavior that backs it up and yeah, I am glad you’re back on hope to the future, but that’s actually um, not what I came here to talk to you about. I, um, I needed to talk to you about something else.

Thomas: I think I know what you’re thinking. The adjustments made to the halter. Honestly, I think that–

Hope: No, thomas. The adjustments were great. They were fine. You actually read my mind, like you always do. No, this is um… look, I know you and steffy had some sort of conversation about uh…

Thomas: About back when you said that I was hot.

Hope: Sure, yeah, uh… I just wanna make sure that going forward that it’s–

Thomas: Hey, don’t even think about it. Look, sometimes people say things. They think they’re talking in confidence and honestly, it’s not that big of a deal. I completely understand that us working together is nothing more than us creating this amazing, wonderful line together and that’s it. And, we’ve always worked well together. I do remember it really well.

Douglas: Dad’s the best.

[Applause]

Thomas: You were right. Look at– look at the audience’s reaction. They’re loving it. We’re an incredible team. We have a son together and we have this line together and I promise I will not do anything to ever make things weird between us again.

Chen: Sheila being at sharpe’s this long could prove problematic.

Ridge: I don’t think so. I think whatever guilt she’s feeling about her little affair with deacon is gonna drive her right back into bill’s arms.

Chen: Bill, you’re the resident sheila expert.

Ridge: Do you ever feel like some of the feelings he’s pretending to have, that maybe their real? ‘Cause–

Bill: No, this is great.

I gotta listen to jokes from

a grown man who’s wearing

a samurai bun.

Ridge: I’m just messing with you. No hair jokes. Come on. I’ve been stuck in here with– I’ve been stuck in here and the only fun I have is making fun of you, so.

Bill: I’m glad I can

provide some entertainment

for you clowns.

Ridge: See? You’re providing something. Thank you. Can you please get back to work?

Bill: Don’t worry about it. I’ll be laser focused. When sheila gets back here, I’ll slip that rock on her finger and get her to confess to first degree murder.

Sheila: I never, in a million years, expected bill to propose to me. He’s just… he’s more than I ever thought he could be. He’s kind and generous.

Deacon: Generous? Sheila, I think if you look a little deeper in that ring box, you’re gonna find a nice, shiny pre-nup.

Sheila: No. He says he doesn’t one.

Deacon: What? You gotta be kidding me. This is california. He’s not just gonna risk half his fortune.

Sheila: He says it’s not necessary. That he has everything he needs and that that’s me. Deacon, I just– I can’t believe this. I am going to be free and I’m gonna be filthy rich.

Deacon: What’s the matter?

Sheila: It’s just that, I really have to wonder. Is this really bill spencer? Some people have minor joint pain plus stomach problems.

Hope: These are a real departure from the last campaign.

Thomas: Well, it’s kinda the evolution I’m talking about. You know, your thoughts, your feelings and your outlook on life, it changes and your line should reflect that.

Hope: Well, I can’t wait.

Thomas: Oh, uh, check out this little change that zende made down here.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I love that. I would have never thought of that, the shoe.

Thomas: Zende and I have been working really well together. Honestly, I’m just– I’m just excited that you are stoked about the line and working together on it.

Hope: Yeah, I know. Feels good.

Thomas: And what about liam? Everything okay with him? Look, I don’t ever want to put any kind of stress on your marriage.

Hope: I appreciate that, thomas. I really do, but there’s nothing to worry about. Liam and I, we’re fine.

Chen: Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Bill: What the hell is

taking her so long?

Ridge: All right, take a breath.

Bill: Don’t tell me

to take a breath!

I’ve been at this for months.

It’s driving me crazy.

Ridge: To be fair, you were crazy before this. Only now, we can use it to our advantage.

Bill: I don’t see you

jumping over here to take

my place.

Ridge: Hey, we all have parts to play and the part you’re playing… honestly, it can’t be played by anyone else, so let’s finish this. Put sheila behind bars so our family can be safe, all right?

Deacon: What do you mean, “is this really bill?”

Sheila: It seems so amazing, doesn’t it? Him proposing to me, no pre-nup? Professing his love?

Deacon: Yeah, it’s amazing, definitely. I mean, are you sure, really sure, this is the real deal?

Sheila: It sure feels that way.

Deacon: I guess passion and connection can’t compete with freedom and the good life.

Sheila: I care for you, deacon.

Deacon: I know. Listen. Bill came in, swept you off your feet.

Sheila: Can you even imagine me, mrs. Bill spencer?

Deacon: This is everything you’ve ever wanted. Why question it?

Sheila: I don’t know, I just… I hope he hasn’t been compromised some how.

Deacon: I– I mean, I guess it’s possible, but don’t sell yourself short. You came into his world, you turned it upside down. Sheila, you are intoxicating. I know that first hand.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: It’s just with– with bill, there’s something that’s just missing.

Deacon: Like a brain? Conscience? Maybe a soul?

Sheila: You know, bill can seem so far away. Deacon, he can look right at me and I don’t know what he’s thinking.

Deacon: Look, did I hear correctly? That the prince of darkness actually wants to marry you without a pre-nup? Sheila, that should tell you everything that bill’s thinking. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Thomas: I– I love this fabric, you know? It holds–

Hope and thomas: The pattern so nicely.

Hope: I agree, I agree.

Thomas: It’s edgy, but soft. And I was going for strong and refined.

Hope: And it is elegant, yet sexy, which is walking that line that I want us to walk. It’s exactly what I want for the collection.

Thomas: I know.

Hope: Yeah, you get it.

Thomas: I do. We make a good team.

Hope: Oh, gosh. It’s just– you look so beautiful. I am so excited about this– this upcoming line. I mean.. thomas, I am… I’m really happy you’re back.

Thomas: Me too.

Deacon: Look, I don’t like spencer and I probably never will, but you can’t argue the size of that rock. Don’t overthink this. If the guy makes you happy, then that’s where you should be.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Uh, it’s bill.

Deacon: Speak of the devil, literally. Go ahead, take it.

Sheila: Hi, bill.

Bill: You okay? I thought you’d be home by now.

Sheila: I just, uh, had a lot to process. I’ve got a lot to think about.

Bill: Good things, I hope.

Sheila: Yes. Everything that you’ve done for me, I… I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say.

Bill: Sure you do. Just get home so we can plan our future together.

Sheila: I’ll be home shortly. I promise.

Bill: I love you.

Sheila: I love you too.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: Hey.

Ridge: Can you take it easy with the I love yous please?

Bill: Why don’t you relax,

all right? Sometimes, using

a lot of cheese is the best

way to catch a rat.

Ridge: Can you please just focus? She’s gonna be home soon.

Bill: Oh, I am more than ready for this nightmare to end. Our families are going to be safe. Sheila carter is going down today.

Sheila: Bill wants me to come home. He says we have a future to plan.

Deacon: Invite me to the wedding.

Sheila: Huh?

Deacon: You’re still freaked out.

Sheila: I just– it’s not that I’m freaked out, it’s just not what I was expecting.

Deacon: Believe me, I didn’t expect spencer to propose to you either.

Sheila: So, what are you saying? Are you saying that I shouldn’t trust him?

Deacon: That’s not what I said. Come here. Come here. You and I had some amazing times together and I’ll never forget you. Now, you gotta go. Go make your future. Go. I’m steve.

Ridge: How many candles are you lighting? You’re gonna burn down the place.

Bill: Relax, grandma.

I’m setting the mood.

Ridge: What about the rose petals? You gonna do that?

Bill: Yeah, yeah.

Don’t rush me.

Chen: Sheila’s entering the grounds.

Ridge: She’s coming up the driveway.

Bill: It’s showtime.

Ridge: All right. We’ve got your back.

[ Car approaching ]

[ Car door slamming ]

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Is this all for me?

Bill: This and more.

Sheila: It’s beautiful.

Bill: I’ve been anxiously waiting for you to get home. There’s so much ahead of us.

Sheila: Like planning

our future.

Bill: Exactly like that.

Sheila: I’m sorry. My… my head is just spinning right now.

Bill: Well, slow it down. I love you. Nothing’s changed.

Sheila: Oh, no. It’s marriage. That’S… that’s commitment, making me your wife.

Bill: We’ve been on this crazy ridge together, haven’t we? I mean, who would’ve ever thought bill spencer and sheila carter?

Sheila: Absolutely no one.

Bill: Absolutely no one and that’s– that’s the beauty of it. We both tried our hands unsuccessfully at love and why? Because we chose the wrong people. Eric could never give you what I can. Brooke, katie– they never loved me for me. They tried to change me, but not you.

Sheila: No, I never would.

Bill: No. I need this. There has never been anything more important to me in my life. I’ve burned every bridge for you and I would do it all again. That’s how much this means to me. I wanna give you the life you deserve, but I can’t do that if you keep holding back. We can’t have any more walls. We can’t have any more secrets. I mean, look at you.

You’re doing it now.

You’ve gotta let go. Say yes. Say you’ll be my wife.

Let me change your life.

Sheila: You know, I’ve fantasized about this moment my whole life. Wanting someone to love me and cherish me and hold on to me and not want to let go, but I’ve been abandoned and left behind most of my life, so I really gave up hope. And now, here you are. One fateful night on a beach together. Two outcasts that need love.

But bill, you are everything

that I ever dreamed of, everything that I hoped for. A man that truly loves me. A man that I can trust.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to believe everything that you said, I really do, but I’ve learned a lot in life. And when things seem too good to be true, they are. So, what’s really happening here? Are you playing me for a fool, bill? Are you?

[ Gasps ] There they are!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Victor! Nikki! Over here! Over here!

Let me get a picture!

Nikki: Hello!

Mr. Newman!

Nikki: Thank you. Thank you for coming out to celebrate genoa city’s bicentennial. It’s wonderful to see so many old friends.

Victor, are you excited for the gala?

Victor: Oh, I can’t stand it. It’s gonna be a hell of a party.

[ Laughter ] Alright? Okay, my sweetheart, shall we go?

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: Thank you for coming.

Nikki: We’ll see you later.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Who else is gonna be here?! Just a little bit of tea! Just a little something!

One more question!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I still have a few things to finish up before the guests arrive. And you have to go over your speech for later. You can do it right at the bar. I have been told that it is well stocked with your favorite tequila.

Victor: Baby, I am so impressed. How did you pull this off?

Nikki: Believe me, I had plenty of help. Feels good to throw a big party again, though, doesn’t it?

Victor: I’m looking forward to celebrate with the entire town.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: And I have a feeling this will be one of the most memorable evenings in genoa city history.

Nikki: I just hope that people will manage to set aside their petty differences for one night.

Victor: Oh, yeah. They will. For about 10 minutes. And then, my dear, all hell will break loose.

Nikki: Don’t say that.

Victor: No, I was just kidding.

Tucker: Guess who it is.

Ashley: I have no idea.

Tucker: It’s me, tucker.

Ashley: [ Gasps ] Wow!

Tucker: God, you look absolutely stunning.

Ashley: Thanks. What are you doing here?

Tucker: Your chariot awaits.

Ashley: Oh, you mean your old pickup.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. And I can’t wait to hear what the valet at the athletic club has to say about it. Would you care to be there to hear it for yourself?

Ashley: What are you getting at?

Tucker: You’re not too perceptive, are you?

Ashley: Oh, I see. You’re asking me on a date.

[ Laughing ] Oh. Right.

Tucker: Unless you’ve got plans for tonight?

Ashley: I do have plans. I’m going to the gala…

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: …By myself.

Tucker: Well, it’d be a lot more fun if you went by yourself with me.

Ashley: Mm…

Abby: Amanda. Uh…

[ Chuckles nervously ] Hi. It’s so good to see you.

Amanda: You look surprised. Did you forget I was here for the arbitration?

Abby: No, it’s just, um, well, I haven’t seen you since —

Amanda: Since I walked in on you and devon half-naked in my living room?

Abby: Is there any way that we could talk? I mean, do you have a minute?

Amanda: I really need to get going.

Abby: Amanda, please. Um, look, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to say to you, and I just — I haven’t had the chance.

Amanda: Like what?

Abby: I’m sorry.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Nate: Everything alright?

Devon: Yeah, I’m fine.

Nate: So, uh, how’s the arbitration going?

Devon: You don’t need to act like you care.

Nate: Come on, devon. I care.

Devon: No, you don’T. You don’t care. This is your way of dealing with your guilt.

Nate: Yes, I still have some guilt. That is true. But I’m also concerned.

[ Sighs ] Look, I hate seeing you and lily at each other’s throats like this. And, honestly, I thought you would have figured things out by now.

Devon: Yeah, I thought we would, too, but we didn’T.

Nate: It’s not too late. You can still turn things around.

Jill: You know, I really thought that my decision not to take chancellor-winters public would make all the difference, that devon would just drop the lawsuit then and there. And after that, let the healing begin.

Lily: No, he didn’t even consider it. He just rejected it.

Jill: Yeah, I know. But I haven’t given up hope yet. You know, maybe once he gets a chance to sit with the idea for a while, he’ll come around.

Lily: Yeah, well, look, you did take me by surprise, too. I mean, you didn’t even say why you changed your mind about the ipo and you want devon to stay at the company.

Jill: Didn’t I?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay, what are you not telling us?

Jill: [ Clicks tongue ] (Sniffs)

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

[ Door opens ]

Sally: I am so glad you’re here. I am starting to get nervous.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You? Nervous?

Sally: Well, I’ve just never been to a masked ball before.

Nick: It’s great. Think of it as, like, trick or treating for adults, and instead of little chocolate candies, you’re gonna get champagne and finger foods. I thought you were excited.

Sally: I was. But now I can hear all the traffic outside and I can see the lights at the athletic club and — this is a really big deal.

Nick: Yeah, it is. My mom’s in charge. Nikki newman doesn’t throw small parties.

Sally: Right. Yes. And that sounds amazing, and I — [ Sighs ] I want to go. I do. It’s just, I’m in my second trimester now, and… I’m starting to show.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: You are?

Sally: Kind of, yes. I just tried on my dress, which I had fitted just a month ago. You can see my baby bump.

Nick: I bet it looks great.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I just don’t want my appearance to be the topic of conversation tonight. People are gonna notice and they’re gonna talk about it and then they’re gonna talk about us and maybe adam and the paternity issues. When does it stop?

Nick: Nobody’s gonna do that, alright? You’re not gonna walk in and everybody’s gonna go, “that woman must be pregnant.” There’s gonna too much going on. In fact, they’re gonna be whipping their heads back and forth, going, “who is that beautiful woman?”

Sally: Well, thank you. I feel a little better. How do you always know the right thing to say?

Nick: I mean, I saved the best part for last.

Sally: What is that?

Nick: I didn’t tell you what I really think.

Sally: And that is…?

Nick: I think this baby bump…

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: …Makes you sexy as hell.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I’m not worried about adam making inroads with sally, if you’re asking if I’m jealous. But I am worried that he’s going to cause sally a bunch of stress that she and the baby just don’t need.

Victoria: Well, just do your best to protect her. Make sure you keep your guard up.

Nick: I will. I would tell you to do the same, but I know your guard is always up when it comes to adam. And just so you know, adam did confirm dad’s plan.

Victoria: And what plan is that?

Nick: Once newman enterprises acquires mccall unlimited, adam’s gonna be placed in charge.

Victoria: That is never gonna happen.

Nick: Look, vick, I know fighting with dad is like a newman family staple, but i really think you should consider staying out of this one. Dad wants to bring adam closer to the family, and you know how he is. He’s not gonna quit until he gets what he wants.

Victoria: Well, then I guess he’s just gonna have to find another way to get what he wants.

Nick: By letting adam run mccall, it keeps him out of our business and lets him focus on something else.

Victoria: But then adam wins.

Nick: Who cares, vick? Let him, if it keeps him out of our hair.

Victoria: My plan is to fold mccall into newman, and I’m not gonna let dad and adam derail that.

Nick: Newman doesn’t need mccall. We’ve made a bunch of great acquisitions. The company is doing great. Let’s just focus on what we have. Let adam and dad go off and do whatever they want away from us.

Victoria: Look, nicholas, i understand where you’re caution is coming from, but I am not gonna pass on this phenomenal opportunity so that dad can use mccall to lure adam back into the family, which is only gonna make him more beholden to dad, like some emotional hostage. It’s bad business. It’s miserable parenting. You and I — we’ve seen this movie before. We know that it ends in disaster for both of them.

Nick: So, now you’re worried about adam’s emotional well-being?

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Ohh. Taking a more casual approach to the night’s festivities?

Victoria: Well, don’t you look dapper.

Adam: Oh, well, thank you so much. Should be quite a party.

Victoria: I hope so. We could use the night out to blow off some steam. We’ve been very, very busy at newman. I assume that you’ve been busy, too…

Adam: Mm.

Victoria: …Whatever it is you’re doing these days.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Um…biding my time.

Victoria: Oh, right. That’s a pretty phrase for “unemployed,” isn’t it?

Adam: Eh, it might be, but I’m waiting on something very interesting.

Victoria: Really? I wonder what that could be. I really hope that you don’t have your heart set on mccall unlimited.

Adam: Why? You think that devon’s gonna buy it?

Victoria: No. No, we have our sights set on the company. It’s gonna be newman property soon.

Adam: Good. I am glad to hear it.

Victoria: I don’t know why. Because even if newman does acquire it, you definitely will not be the one in charge.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I was just about to say the exact same thing to you.

Devon: Are you, like, an expert mediator now? ‘Cause it seems to be all you’re trying to do these days.

Nate: Come on, devon. I never claimed to be an expert. But I do have something I’d like to say, and I’d appreciate it if you’d listen.

Devon: Okay. Let’s hear what you have to say.

Nate: I’d like to tell you that the highlight of my brief, tumultuous time at chancellor winters was watching you and lily work together. Man, your bond was so strong and full of love. You don’t see that between brothers and sisters these days. Look, I am sorry for my role in your conflict. I betrayed you and lily. And I know you don’t want me to say neil’s name around you.

Devon: Yeah, I meant that.

Nate: Fine. Think of him. Think of how he would feel about this rift. Would he want to help rebuild your relationship with lily? Well, he’s not here. So, if there’s anything I can do to help, I would love to know. That is the least I owe you and lily.

Devon: Okay, well, there’s absolutely nothing you can do. So, thanks.

[ Keys jangle ]

[ Door closes ]

Abby: This is a long time coming, and I am so sorry for the pain that I caused you. Look, I understand that a betrayal is a betrayal and it doesn’t matter that it wasn’t intentional and we never meant for this to happen. It was just — it came out of emotion, and I — we don’t even know where it came from.

Amanda: Okay, you can stop. I don’t need to hear this. I really don’t care.

Abby: I doubt that.

Amanda: Well, it’s true. But you’re right. “Not caring” — it didn’t happen overnight. It took time. I replayed that day over and over, you scrambling to find your shirt, devon stammering to explain. I was hurt, I was angry, but i could not — i did not let it dictate my life. I have too much to focus on. My job, my family. My mom needs my love and support back home. So, I have so much going on that I don’t have time to worry about you and devon.

Abby: I’m sure that’s true. But why did you come back here then? You had to have known that you were gonna go head-to-head with devon. I mean, are you trying to punish him?

Amanda: No, no, it is not like that at all.

Abby: Amanda, please listen to me. Devon is struggling to keep his connection with neil, and it is vital that he keeps that connection — and his company. Please don’t punish him for a mistake that he and I both made.

Jack: Please tell me you are not thinking of bringing tucker to this party tonight.

Ashley: It’s really none of your business, jack.

Jack: It is genoa city’s bicentennial celebration. For a good number of those years, the abbotts have been a respected and admired family in this community. This is an important night for us, ash. And you’re bringing him?

Tucker: Uh, I understand your concerns, jack, but I have had all my shots and I’m housebroken, mostly.

Jack: This is outrageous.

Ashley: Ugh, so predictable, jack, that you would have a problem with me going to this gala with tucker. Not that I’ve agreed to go to this gala with you.

Jack: It is a slap in the face for all the abbotts who have come before us.

Ashley: Would you just give it a rest? I sincerely doubt that our ancestors have an issue with me going to the gala with this miscreant.

Jack: When are you gonna get it through your head you don’t have to give this man another moment of your attention?

Ashley: It’s a date.

Tucker: Fantastic.

Jack: You should know something. Mamie is here. She’s going to be at the gala. When you see her, don’t have him with you. I’d like it to be a pleasant homecoming for her.

Ashley: I can’t wait.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Tucker: Hey, kyle. And summer. Wow. You look lovely.

Summer: Uh, thank you?

Tucker: See ya.

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Uh, what did we miss?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Abby: You know how much devon loved neil and how much hamilton-winters means to him. And fighting with lily and jill — it’s just tragic.

Amanda: Yeah, it most definitely is.

Abby: And part of me feels like, deep down, you know how wrong this is and that maybe there’s a way that you can help resolve this, a way that could work out for everyone.

Amanda: It never works out for everyone, abby. Lily reached out to me and hired me to win this case. That is what I am obligated to do. It’s nothing personal, abby. I’m not seeking revenge. I wouldn’t do that. I’m a lawyer — and a damn good one. I don’t waste my time on cases I can’t win.

Abby: Amanda —

Amanda: I’m through here. Your little plea on devon’s behalf, it’s touching, but why don’t you just let the grown-ups figure this out? I have no interest in speaking to you about this or anything else ever again.

Abby: [ Sighs heavily ]

Lily: I mean, jill, I —

[ Sighs ] I don’t understand. You seemed so determined to take the company public. You ignored all of devon’s protests, and then you just change your mind and you want to keep it private?

Jill: Yeah, but, lily, you need to leave room for yourself to maneuver. You can’t lock yourself into a position. A strong leader has to be able to change her mind.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, usually when a legal battle starts, you know, but we were winning the case and you still just want to reverse the course?

Jill: Well, that is very true. Okay. But the arbitration brought to light just how contentious things were between you and devon. And, ohh, I hated that.

Lily: And that’s what changed your perspective.

Jill: [ Sighs ] Ah, I got to get going to get ready for the gala.

Lily: [ Scoffs ]

Jill: I will see you at the club, sweetie.

Lily: Okay, wait. Jill, I’m sorry. I need to understand. What made you change your mind today?

Jill: There are a lot of old friends in town for the celebration, and I spoke to one of them. And he reminded me what katherine would want and how she would feel about devon’s role in the company. So, I got some very sage advice

and an alternative.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Michael: Good evening, newmans! How are we tonight?

Nikki: Hey, michael.

Michael: Working hard, I see.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Mr. Michael baldwin. Well, my beautiful wife is working. I am celebrating.

Michael: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: Well, michael is on the beverage committee, so you have him to thank for your celebrating.

Victor: Thank you, old boy.

Michael: I aim to please.

Victor: Where’s your better half?

Michael: Ohh. Lauren was not satisfied with looking merely spectacular. She is striving for perfection on this big occasion.

Nikki: Ah, well, I am certain she will succeed. So, is everything good to go?

Michael: So far. I’ve checked with the catering. Things are moving ahead as planned. It is gonna be a marvelous night. I am so excited about revealing the lounge and our little surprise.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: It will be spectacular. I promise you.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Hey, I don’t know what you heard about the mccall acquisition, but, uh, regardless, it’s not gonna end well for you. You’re not gonna control tucker’s company.

Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ] Okay, let me just try to follow your logic for a minute. Newman enterprises is going to acquire mccall unlimited. Oh, that’s right. I’m in charge of newman. Therefore, I’m not in charge of mccall. I’m sorry, but there seem to be some flaws in your argument.

Adam: No, I think the flaw’s in your premise — that you actually control newman.

Victoria: You know, I’m aware of dad’s offer to you to be in control of mccall, but you do realize that it was just a gesture, right? It’s like when a girl can’t get a date to the prom and her cousin has to step in and help her out of pity.

Adam: Wait. I’m the teenage girl who can’t get a date in that scenario? Is that what you’re saying?

Victoria: There is no way in hell I’m gonna stand by and watch while dad gives away a $1-billion company so his poor little baby boy can get a pat on the back.

Adam: Has it ever occurred to you that I am qualified to run that company?

Victoria: No, it hasn’t occurred to me.

Adam: Well, I am. And you are deluded if you think victor isn’t going to see his plan through.

Victoria: And you are deluded if you think that dad is gonna help you this time.

Adam: Do you know what your problem is, victoria?

Victoria: Please tell me.

Adam: You overestimate your own abilities so badly that you are oblivious to other people’s strengths. It’s probably one of the reasons dad’s gonna put me in charge of mccall — ’cause you don’t know what you’re doing.

Nate: Hey. Hey. You are way out of line, adam. (Vo) nature valley has helped restore access to national park trails

Kyle: I don’t understand. Why was ashley with tucker mccall?

Jack: You really want to know?

Kyle: Actually, no. I think I’m going to stay out of it.

Summer: I think that that is a great choice. Let’s just focus on this party and the things that matter.

Diane: Like the fact that you two look amazing.

Summer: Thank you, diane.

Jack: You look pretty amazing yourself.

Diane: Mm! It’s going to be a wonderful night.

Kyle: Hey, where’s traci? She wasn’t upstairs.

Jack: She and mamie are gonna meet us at the club. But while we have the two of you alone, there’s something we’d like to run by you.

Kyle: What’s that?

Jack: Well, you know our news.

Summer: Yes. The two of you are getting married. Congratulations again.

Kyle: And we wish you all the happiness in the world.

Diane: Thank you, kyle.

Jack: Yes. Thank you. That’s very thoughtful.

Diane: And with that in mind, we’d like to announce our engagement tonight.

Summer: [ Inhales sharply ] Tonight?

Kyle: At the gala?

Jack: We want all of genoa city to know.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey, pretty lady.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: How you doing? One more, please.

Abby: Mm. How’d today go?

Devon: Um… [ Chuckles ] The arbitration did not go well.

Abby: Okay, but, I mean, it’s not over yet. There’s still a chance things could turn around.

Devon: Yeah. Maybe. But I didn’t keep my cool the way I wanted to, and i definitely let amanda get to me. And now christine thinks that our argument is not landing.

Abby: Well, it’s not over yet. You have to remember that.

Devon: Do you want to hear the biggest shock of the day?

Abby: Tell me.

Devon: So, jill shows up and interrupts the whole thing and asks to speak with me and lily in private.

Abby: Sounds dramatic.

Devon: Right? Then she tells us that she’s prepared to kill the whole idea of the ipo and keep the company private.

Abby: She said that?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: That’s amazing. I mean, I can’t believe it.

Devon: I can’t, either. I’m still trying to process it.

Abby: But this is good, isn’t it? I mean, this could change everything, right?

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about my brother, nate. He’s harmless.

Nate: I didn’t care for what he was saying.

Victoria: Well, it’s alright because nobody listens to him anyway. I can handle him. It’s fine.

Nate: I know you can. I just felt he needed to be called out for his behavior.

Adam: This is…interesting.

Victoria: What is?

Adam: Well, nate either feels very strongly about the mccall acquisition or he feels very strongly about defending his boss.

Nate: Hmm. Why can’t it be both?

Victoria: He’s the head of newman media. He should be concerned about both.

Adam: Well, yeah, but, i mean, so much passion? I always took you for a level-headed guy. But it’s good you two are on the same page. That’s really good. Maybe we could talk about this later at the gala.

[ Fingers snap ] Are you going?

Victoria: You know I am.

Adam: Is elena going, or are you two going together as, like, a work thing?

Nate: Elena is obviously going.

Adam: Obviously, she’s going.

Victoria: You know, adam, i don’t know what you’re trying to stir up right now, but playtime is over.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: I have to get ready.

Nate: I’ll walk you out.

Adam: Wait, nate, you forgot to order actual coffee. Save me a dance!

Sharon: Dare I ask what that was about?

Adam: Uh, you would probably not be as entertained as I was.

Sharon: Oh. Well, then I’m not sorry i missed it.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Sharon, wait a second. Um…who are you going to the gala with?

Sharon: Uh, me, myself and I, and I’m really looking forward to it.

Adam: Well, that’s great. Because I have an idea.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: Ah. I am done. Everything is set.

Michael: Whoo-hoo!

Nikki: I’m just going to enjoy the rest of the evening. The guests will be arriving any minute. So…

Victor: What, my baby?

Nikki: …From this moment on…

Victor: Yes?

Nikki: …Your only focus is to celebrate genoa city with all of our friends.

Victor: Okay.

Michael: Hear, hear. Now, I suggest we go inspect the lounge to make sure it’s ready.

Nikki: Oh, good idea.

Michael: Yeah.

Victor: Okay.

Nikki: Darling, come with us, please, and let the party begin!

Victor: Yes!

Tucker! Tucker! Ashley!

Ashley abbott! Ashley abbott, are you and tucker mccall a couple again?

Ashley: Now, you know you’re just gonna write whatever you want to write anyway. I’m here to celebrate 200 years of genoa city.

[ Light laughter ]

Tucker: And [Clears throat] I’m just the chauffeur, but i definitely have the hots for her.

[ Laughter ]

Ashley: You’re too much.

Tucker: You love it.

Ashley: Well, right. Bye.

Ashley, over here, over here, over here!

Devon: If jill would have said this weeks ago, then maybe we could have worked something out. But I just — thank you.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I don’t see how keeping the company private is gonna do any good ’cause I don’t know how I’d ever be able to trust them to keep their word.

Abby: But it has to give you some hope that maybe you can work things out, especially with lily?

Devon: Esp– no, not especially with lilly. She’s the one who’s gone after me the most in all this. And then she went and hired amanda.

Abby: Oh. Speaking of amanda, um, I ran into her tonight.

Devon: What happened?

Abby: We talked, and, um… I mean, she was very calm. She never raised her voice or anything. I mean, I wouldn’t blame her if she hated me, but, um, she didn’t let me have it or anything like that.

Devon: That’s good.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: That’s one bright spot in this day.

Abby: Well, there is one more bright spot — because the gala is tonight.

Devon: Oh, gosh. Yeah. I don’t — I don’t feel like going to that. I just want to stay home and have a peaceful night.

Abby: Oh, come on. You have to go. It’s very important.

Devon: Why? What’s important?

Abby: Well, just to get your mind off of things just for a few hours.

Devon: That’s not — that’s not gonna happen.

Abby: Okay. [ Sighs ] Look, I wasn’t supposed to say anything, but there is something very special happening tonight.

Devon: What do you mean, special? You gonna give me a hint?

Abby: You just — you have to trust me. You’re gonna want to be there.

Sally: I could stay like this forever. But we can’T.

Nick: Mm.

Sally: We have to get ready for the party of the year.

Nick: Well, you sound a lot less nervous. Does that mean we’re going?

Sally: Yes, we are going. You calmed my nerves. Good job. You reminded me that with you on my side, there’s nothing that can bring me down.

Adam: I, uh — I was gonna go solo. But, I mean, why don’t we go together, sharon?

Sharon: You want to go with me?

Adam: It would be nice to go with one of the few people in this town whose company i actually enjoy.

Sharon: I think you just want someone to complain to when you see sally and nick there together.

Adam: Look, I’ve accepted that they are together. And it does sting a little. But if I was with you, at least I would have fun. What do you say?

Sharon: You know what? I’m in. I could use some arm candy.

Adam: Excellent. Hey, it’s gonna be fun. You made my night. Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Summer: I wasn’t expecting that.

Kyle: Me either. What a surprise. Why are you making the announcement at such a huge party?

Jack: Efficiency. Everyone will be there. We can tell them all in one fell swoop.

Diane: And, besides, we can’t keep it to ourselves much longer. We want the whole world to know.

Summer: Not just a — a little longer, though? Like, 24 hours maybe?

Diane: Summer, we realize there’s going to be some negative reactions, but we are not going to worry about that.

Jack: Are you worried how your mother is going to react?

Summer: Aren’t you? She’s not gonna take this news well.

[ Sighs ] But, you know, after the way she conspired with stark and lied to me about it, I guess i shouldn’t really care about her hurt feelings. You know what? If you two want to shout your engagement from the rooftops, you have every right to do so.

Kyle: I agree. You shouldn’t have to hide your happiness. I say go for it.

Jack: Thank you. And we shall.

Diane: Your support means everything to us.

Summer: Uh, kyle, we promised harrison that we’d read to him before we go.

Kyle: Right. Excuse us. We have to go tuck our boy in.

Jack: Give him our love.

Kyle: We will. And you should go ahead without us. We may be a while.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] Are you ready? It’s going to be a big night.

Jack: Actually, there’s something we have to do first.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Oh!

Ooh, look over there!

Abby abbott!

Aw, come on, abby! Pose for us!

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Yes!

Whoo!

Any comments about tonight’s festivities, devon?

Devon: Uh, absolutely. Absolutely. It’s a big night, and I am very proud to be here representing my grandmother, katherine chancellor, and my father, neil winters, two people that were very loved here in genoa city.

Adam: And as a member of the newman and abbott families, I’m so happy to be here, and we are so excited to celebrate this community.

Devon: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Oh, okay.

Hey, how about a group photo?

Devon: Uh…

Lily: Of course. Absolutely.

Devon: Yeah, let’s do it.

Great.

Devon: Let’s do it.

Jill: [ Sighs ] Everybody just keep smiling.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Jill: Let’s get along just for tonight.

Devon: Yeah. See you in there. Yeah.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Jill: [ Sighs ] Here, sweetie. Alright, don’t let that bother you.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Jill: I know. I know. Keep that smile plastered on your face. Oh! It’s gonna be one of those nights.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Abby: [ Sighs ] I cannot believe we ran into lily before we even stepped inside — and in front of photographers.

Devon: Yeah. It was bound to happen at some point, so at least we got it out of the way.

Abby: That’s a positive way to look at it.

Devon: Well, I said I was gonna try and enjoy myself, so I’m not gonna let running into her ruin the evening.

Abby: Well, this should help get the party started.

Devon: What’s this? Yeah.

Abby: Thank you so much.

Devon: Thank you very much.

Abby: Cheers.

Devon: Cheers. Mmm.

Abby: Mmm.

Devon: Yeah, no, I think this is gonna be an amazing night, especially when I find out what this surprise is you’re keeping from me.

Abby: You will not be disappointed.

Devon: No?

Abby: Mnh-mnh.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: I can’t believe devon didn’t come back after jill offered to keep chancellor-winters private. I mean, it’s like he doesn’t want a solution. How are you holding up?

Lily: Honestly, I’m fine. I’m not gonna let my brother ruin our evening. And, besides, don’t worry about it. You had a great day with chelsea, so let’s just — let’s celebrate.

Daniel: I like that idea. Let’s celebrate. Let’s get a drink. Um, “cham-pag-nay”?

Lily: Yes, “cham-pag-nay.”

Daniel: “Cham-pag-nay.” Hi. Uh, could I get, uh, two glasses of your finest champagne? When aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready,

Ashley: I just don’t get it, tucker. Why do we have to wear these masks?

Tucker: Because nikki insisted.

Ashley: Right. But, you know…

Tucker: I should be in a clown mask, though, don’t you think?

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: You know, the worst part about these masks is that i can’t see your face.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And that’s the only reason I came here — your face.

Ashley: Cheers.

Victor: Well, well, well.

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Good evening.

Tucker: Good evening, victor. Well, you have impeccable timing.

Victor: I hope I’m interrupting something.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I have a question for you, ashley. I understand you bought tucker’s debt. Did you do that to piss him off? And yet here you are as his date. Hard to fathom somehow.

Jill: Aww! Eat your hearts out, boys!

Whoo!

Jill: Oh! Nick newman. I guess I have to give up the spotlight now, don’t I? Mwah.

Nick: You look beautiful.

Jill: Well, thank you very much. How are you doing?

Sally: Good.

Nick: Good.

Jill: Oh, good. Well, just keep smiling and giving the vultures what they want. It’s a lot easier that way.

Nick: Yes, ma’am.

Jill: Bye!

Nick: We’ll see you in there.

Oh, anything to say about tonight, nick?

Nick: Uh, sally and I are honored to be here. We both love genoa city and love that it’s our home.

A newman over here!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Diane: Is this what you wanted?

Jack: Please allow me to do the honors.

Diane: Okay. Ooh.

[ Sighs ] Jack, I will cherish you and this symbol of your love for the rest of my life.

Jack: I cannot wait to make this announcement to the world. Once everyone knows, we can finally have the happiness we both deserve.

Diane: Aww.

Jeremy: Phyllis! It’s time.

Phyllis: Yeah. How do I look?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Unforgettable. Now, are you ready?

Phyllis: Let’s go. Yeah. Let’s go. It’s time to make things right.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Can’t believe he’s still sleeping. I mean, neither. I mean, with all that commotion, Getting off the ball, checking in the hotel. I thought for sure little man was gonna wake up screaming his head off. Yeah. Well you think that after 285 days at sea you’d be just as happy as we are to be back on Sara Pharma in the US

is your mommy right? Little man? You happy to be home?

Listen, I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta get. Yeah. No, I know. I know you. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. How would it help it? Here Paris. Wake up Paris.

And then there were two saw since Kate. Instead, which of you will be my next Guinea pig?

John, I need you to meet me at the airfield right now. I just talked to Hope. I have a possible location on Megan Hathaway.

You seem eng. What are you looking at? False notes on me. Why isn’t it just a page after page of scientific mumbo jumbo? No. What kind of thought provoking is observations of my past. Well, your past is long gone. We need to focus on your future. Our future together. Look, I’ll get rid of that. You don’t need anymore.

No, that’s fine. Fine. Now that I’ve finished it, it’s uh, you know, on the hard drive, won’t forget it, a bit about how I saved your life now, the bit about who I was, what I wanted, who my father is.

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

Your lack of introspection has always been one of your most attractive features. Look, forget the file.

Is that an order? It’s just a suggestion. Knowing how you feel about orders would’ve been counterproductive if made to issue one, right? Because you’re always looking out for me, all in my best interest, given the lengths that I have gone to, to rescue you and protect you. I don’t understand how you could possibly be questioning my motives.

Really. Let me think about that. Um, you order me to kill, to kill, I, I don’t know. I might. I think you have a more sinister agenda. That wasn’t an order, that was also a suggestion, a friendly suggestion. I, I didn’t want you and I to have any distractions. Right? Kind of like a do not disturb, shine, a permanent do not disturb a.

That vial has made you very negative and oppositional.

I was just hoping that we could talk. Oh, well, good. Because there’s something. I would like to talk about, what is it? I’m leaving

as beautiful as Turks and Caicos was. I’m actually really happy to be back home, although I guess we’re not technically home yet. Oh, not unless you have property on the waterfront of Annapolis, Maryland that I don’t know about. No. . I’m pretty sure our boat is about as much waterfront as I can handle.

Mm-hmm. Um, , but actually while we are in the us I was thinking, what if we make a little pit stop? Oh, let me guess. You want to go back to Salem? Mm-hmm. . We can fly out and we can see Sean and my grandparents. I mean, you read Grandma Julie’s last email, she basically threatened us with bodily harm if we didn’t bring him home for his first birthday.

Yeah, I think her exact words were that if I don’t see my great grandson soon, Doug and I will be water skiing to meet you. . Yes. And as much as I would literally love to see that, I think a two hour flight would just be easier for all of us. So what do you say you wanna bring Bill back home and show him what he’s been missing?

It would be really great to see everybody again. Mm-hmm. , and obviously they’d fall all over Bo. Mm-hmm.

But

it’s not gonna be the same without Dr. Evans being there.

Should I flip a coin? Ah, not possible. No currency on this island.

Any mini mining mo catch a doctor. How does the rest of it go? Ah, no matter I’ll improvise. A chief of staff is good for a laugh, but to shrink, we really make you sink. Out goes by o you. Hmm.

So hope’s efforts paid off. Huh? She got here is to give up Megan’s location. Yeah, well, took quite a bit of effort and an assist from the isa, but he was finally able to remember some kind of facility in the Mediterranean where Rolf and Megan first programmed it. Hmm. Better. He remembered Z, an nautical chart on the wall, and he recalled the latitude and longitude markers.

Hope looked up the coordinates. She sent me this.

So what are you thinking? Partner? Megan’s location can be somewhere on this map. After Megan fled Caracas, it’s very possible she hole up in this location.

Ah, Dr. Johnson, welcome back to Len of the Living yet again. Let go of me. Let go. Don’t try to. You’re coming out as the effects of a very strong sedative. Your limbs won’t be fully functioning for some time yet. Ah, I know she’s still sleeping, but we won’t be needing her participation as I’ve determined that today is your lucky day,

Well, not as a case. Maybe what he, what do you mean lucky? I have developed a miraculous new. One that, if not for the irrational influence of politics would be certain to win a Nobel Prize. But so I have no doubt of my genius. I’m afraid I cannot prove its effectiveness without a human trial. Human trial.

Your friend, Kate, first to be the first subject, but she destroyed my initial badge. Megan had no choice but to eliminate.

We both know how much Marlena did for you, for us, actually, and it’s gonna be so strange to go back to Salem without her there. I think it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be more than strange. It’s just, it’s terribly sad. And you’re on Kayla and Kate. Oh my God, it all just seems so unreal. You know, when we were gone for so long, I mean, we missed all the funerals.

I think maybe that’s why I’m having a hard time believing that Dr. Evans is really gone. I never got the chance to say goodbye to her. And I mean, even if I did, I don’t even know what I would’ve said, Sierra. I mean, how do you thank somebody for literally saving your life? You would’ve found the words, babe.

You always do. Yeah. Well, I don’t know if I’m gonna find the words when I see John, your Uncle Steve, your Uncle Roman. I mean, I, I don’t know. I guess we can just tell him how much we cared about Marlena and about Kayla and Kate and just let them know that our hearts go out to.

You know, I had another dream about Dr. Evans last night. I don’t, I don’t like even remember all the details, but I was with her when she was dying and, uh, all I remember is that I was desperately trying to save her life, like, like she saved mine. And it, it really wasn’t a bad dream, I guess it was a good dream because like I said, I, I can’t remember all the details.

I just remember. She opened her eyes,

she smiled at me and uh, I knew she was gonna survive.

Hated waking up from that train. I know you did.

You know, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have, you wouldn’t have bow.

Well, Marlena saw the man that you are, she saw the person that you really are, and at least she got to meet though, and she got to hold him and she saw how happy we are,

and that was because of her.

Ben? Yeah, I am. I suddenly have this feeling like we’re on, on the boat again, like we’re on the water. It’s, it’s normal. Yeah. Trust me, I don’t feel that great either. And I don’t think we got our, our land legs back yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must be it. It’s just, um, it kinda feels like rocking and swaying and it’s making me really dizzy.

They’re probably just gonna eat something. No, I don’t think that’s what I need. Are you sure? Mm. Because you know this hotel is an amazing restaurant. Mm-hmm. , I’ll just want a room service. They have some amazing seafood. They got these clam cakes and these fried clams that are supposed to be unbelievable.

Was there something I said,

Hey, hi.

How are you feeling?

Not sure what happened. You collapsed. I was really worried. The treatment had caused some kind of permanent damage, but the doctor, um, looked you over and assured me it was just a delayed reaction. He wants to keep an eye on you for a little while, make sure it doesn’t happen again. But really he didn’t think, he didn’t think you had anything to worry about.

You’re okay. That’s good to know.

Thank you for staying. Of course. I stayed. You scared.

You scared me. You were so pale Harris lying there on the floor. I feel better now, obviously. Yeah. Thank God obviously. I, I am a little thirsty. Yeah, of course. Treatment was so hard to watch. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to actually experience it.

Thanks. But Harris, you came through those co. John and Steve have pinpointed the location of the lab as we speak right now, and then you should get going. I know how important it’s for you to find Megan. No, I’m, I’m not going anywhere.

What do you mean you’re leaving? What are you talking about, Ben, in this hell hole for months. So I’m getting out. You’ve been here for years and that’s why you’re still. . Is that not good enough for you? Couldn’t. It’s a cell, so I gotta get back out there. Out where? Huh? Where are you going? I don’t know, but I’m not gonna find what I’m looking for.

Stuck in here. And what is that? I have given you everything that you could possibly want. That’s just the thing. I don’t know what I want hope. All I know is I have a lot of questions like about who I am, so I just gotta get out there so I can find myself. Such a cliche. You have to find yourself. Do not mock me.

I am not mocking you. But I just think that when people feel that they have to find themselves, that that is just a bit ridiculous, frankly, self indulgent. Not to mention the fact that you hardly have to travel anywhere to know what you want in life. Haven’t you ever heard the expression wherever you go, there you are.

Well, I don’t want to be here. Hey, I just gotta, I gotta get out there, find some place where I can think and breathe. Maybe see the sky. Good.

Just have to leave here so I can figure things out for myself though. I can tell you anything you wanna know. No, you can’t. I’m the only one who can answer these questions, so I’m leaving here. I’m afraid I cannot let you do that.

Are you okay? Well, yeah, I am now. Please the love of God. Don’t mention food again, so, okay. Really. See, I can’t believe this right now. We just traveled the world in a boat. We get back to land and you get seasick. I am not seasick. Well then, what is it? Get a little bug down on the Caribbean or something.

You don’t feel hot. Maybe we should postpone going to Salem. Get you a doctor. No, no, I, I didn’t get a bug. I did not come down with the flu. Huh? Then what’s wrong?

Okay. So, um, I didn’t wanna say anything until I knew I was sure, but about a week ago I realized that I was late.

What are you saying? Yeah, I, I am, I, uh, I think I might be pregnant.

What do you mean? Don’t you wanna find Megan? What if you collapsed again? You just said the doctor said I was gonna be fine. Paris. What you just did, what you’ve been through obviously took a tremendous toll. You were in a lot of pain. Even the doctor wanted to stop, but you insisted she keep going. Okay.

Don’t, don’t, don’t make me out to be some kind of hero, okay? I did it because, I don’t want Megan to get away with it. She brainwashed me. She used me to hurt people. I wanna bring her down as much as you do. Oh, I don’t know about that. I mean, I definitely wanna bring her down, but I didn’t nearly get myself killed in the process.

Well, if it will gimme my life back, it was worth it. And the first time, this is the first time in a, in a long time, I feel like that actually might happen. Have you thought about what you might wanna do with that life? Honestly, I don’t know. Navy’s my life. I mean, I like to get my career back, but considering how I was compromised, I don’t think the feeling would be mutual.

Well, maybe an arrangement could be made. I know you’re close with the ISA director, but I don’t know if even you could pull those strings. I wouldn’t mind trying. I appreciate that. But here’s what I do know.

I’d like to spend more time with you.

So this is the chart that Michaels remember seeing in the room where he was brainwashed. What’s the number of this notable? Map 26 4. It might be too much to hope for, but I betcha. Somewhere on this map is the lab’s location. So all these little dots right here, these indicate islands in the Mediterranean, right?

Yeah. And that island chain contains about 30 islands. 30. Yeah. Man, we gotta narrow that down. Partner. Well, hey, cross reference. These chain of islands with any of D’S properties.

Okay. No. It doesn’t look like Stephano bought any property in this region. It’s not. Couldn’t be that simple. Great. So now we’re looking for a needle in two haystacks. Well, wait a minute. Maybe we can eliminate some of these right off.

All right. This whole group right here, it’d be almost impossible to approach because they’re all surrounded by Rocky Schoz. All right, good to know. All right, we’ll toss those out. What about, what about this group over here still leaves that wherever this lab is, it has to be housed in a fairly large facility.

Most of these islands couldn’t support that. In fact,

there’s only one that has any infrastructure that size. What kind of infrastructure

will that be? A military base.

Megan eliminated her. Are you, are you saying that Yes, Kate is dead and the takeaway is that it’s not a good idea to resist? Well, anything. Now moving right along. After Kate destroyed my initial batch, I went back to the drawing pat and actually improved it so soon. I’m sure you’ll be asking for another dose because this is going to give you quite a refresher.

And what is it that that’s going to refresh? All of you. My serum is a literal fountain of youth. Rev is intended. It’ll turn back the clock. Make you young again, but I don’t want that. Oh, no . Well, you certainly are in the minority. Most people would spend the fortune to go back in time, and as I say, youth is wasted on the young.

What are you planning to do? I just told you I’m going to make you young in Newby. Although you certainly are still very beautiful and desirable, could you, could you just stay on topic? What if that serum doesn’t work? I’m afraid it won’t be pretty, but I have every confidence that won’t be the case I had.

My results were astounding when I tested it on a Guinea pig for actually a spectacular lab rat. I named Skippy, but Megan will only be satisfied when I prove to her that the human subject can survive the I. It’s for five, which I’m sure you do. And once I patents his formula, you like a bigger fortune. So Megan wants to recapture her youth.

Most of us do. With a rare exception of you apparently. Except in Megan’s case, it isn’t nearly vanity. It’s in the hopes of recapturing a lost love. I’m done following your orders. I’m leaving. No, don’t, don’t be happy, Bo. I, I just. That you can’t leave now bra. He’s just finished a new batch of his serum.

Don’t you see this serum is going to give us back all of those years that were stolen from us all of the years that we were apart. Don’t you want a chance to live the life that we, we were meant to live, that we would’ve lived if my mother hadn’t interfered and kept us apart? No, no. There’s. I am not going back to that.

I have to look forward to my future with me. Here with me. You’re not going to decide that for me. You in great. Megan. Megan. Look, I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me, for what you’re asking of me. I’m sorry. Sorry. I cannot give,

of course. I understand.

What about you? Just stay tonight and we can have one last dinner and then we can save a property pie. You can leave in the morning. No. Best for both of us. If I leave now,

well then I’m afraid I do have one last order for you,

so be a man about it.

There’s a military base on the island. Hmm, let me think about this. Not a bad place to look for a lab considering Harris was ex-Navy. So what do you think might have been stationed there? Well, maybe at one time. Place is deserted now. Yeah, it’s abandoned for how long? Let’s see.

Well, we’re definitely active in the fifties. Oh. As a research facility. We just found our needle in the haystack. I’m gonna talk to the pilot and see if we can put this plane down. Outta the way runway on Island 26th. If Hathaway is there, we need to be a little bit of surprise cause we don’t know what the hell we’re gonna walk into.

Megan is hoping to recapture a lost love more than just hoping. She is determined. But the only love of hers I know about is my brother Bo, and he’s dead.

Oh my God. Is Paul alive? Is that it? Is? Is he the one that was in that chamber? Would you think that just because, who else would Megan want to revive? I mean, she already said it wasn’t Stefano. I mean, it would have to be somebody that she would move heaven and earth to bring back. Oh my dear Dr. Johnson, you do have a vile imagination.

Oh God.

Okay. What’s in there this time? A little insurance. I cannot let you walk out that door. I am not gonna let you inject me with that fountain of you serum. Oh, that’s not what that is. I’ve told you that Ralph needs to test that still. This is just a. Yeah, well, not gonna happen. I just thought you would be a little bit more pliable for all.

That’s all. Don’t do this. Why are you doing this? You see? He’s just going to give you a slight attitude adjustment, and when he’s done, you and I will be on the same page. Let’s say you’ll have realized what we had and what we can still. No, don’t want any part of it. You will. You will. When he is finished, you’ll want me as much as I want you.

You know, that year we were together mean, we just wasted so much of it. We were acting like we were a couple and we were just, just playing a big game. But now that I’ve been,

we’ve been given another chance.

I want to, I want to get to know the real you.

I want you to get to know the real me.

I mean, it’s, you know, that’s what I want, and I totally understand. If you don’t, if you don’t feel the same way.

I know, I,

I know I put you through hell. I terrorized your family.

You probably, you probably want nothing to do with me.

I still can’t believe how quickly you got to and from the drugstore. I mean, you must’ve been like sprinting the entire time. Obviously I was sprinting. You just told me you might be pregnant when you wanna sit down and just wait for the truth. I mean, how long does this thing take? Two minutes. Two minutes?

I got two minutes. Two minutes. Uhhuh. Okay. Hey, Ben. Yes. Are you nervous? No. No, no. I’m excited. Uhuh, are you Uhuh? No, I’m, I’m, I’m just, I’m still a little queasy. Okay. Queasy. Queasy, right? Women get queasy. Why is that? Why, why, why, why do you pregnant? Women get queasy. You know what? I don’t think all pregnant women do.

Like my mom, when she was pregnant with Sean, she didn’t really get nauseous at all. And as far as the reasoning, I literally have no idea. But there must be some evolutionary reason for it, right? Yes. Yes. So, yeah, evolution. What does that say, Ben? Yes. Are you, um, are you this nervous because you think this is a good thing or it’s a bad thing?

I mean, we, we really didn’t plan for this, right? And, and Bo is not even a year old, and this means that we would be on a boat with a toddler and a baby. Yeah. It’s not a good thing. What? It’s a great thing. We don’t even know what’s going on. We don’t even know if you’re pregnant. Um, uh, actually we do, what does it say?

Are you, are we? I am. You are. I am.

Oh my God. Can’t believe it. We’re gonna have a baby. We’re gonna have another baby here. We’re, oh my God. Oh my God. But you’re actually happy about this, right? Like I just told you how great this is, Sarah. I mean, what do you, what do you mean? It’s not like we haven’t talked about having another kid. Yeah, but this just, this is so soon.

It’s not too soon for me. When Is it too soon for you? No, no. I then. You are a great dad. Okay. And, and it’ll be so nice for Bo to have a little sibling. He running around. Gonna be so, God, do you hear that? Oh, you’re gonna be a She a big brother. Oh my god. Big brother. Oh my God, Sean, I have to call Sean. Oh, we just found out about this.

Do you think? We don’t need to tell everybody right now. And we just found out. I’m not gonna tell him about the baby. I’m just gonna tell him that we’re. What about your mom? Oh, do you know what? Yeah, that’s a good idea. I’ll call and see if she can fly down from Montreal. Hey Sean. Hi. Yeah. Um, I was just calling to let you know that we are back in the States.

Yeah, we just talked a little while ago, but right now we’re in a little motel in, uh, Maryland. Yeah. I was also, um, going to say that uh, we might stop by Salem for a little bit if you’re not busy. Great. . Awesome. Yeah. I miss you so much. Um, I’m gonna call mom and see if maybe she can fly down too. Wait. Mom is where yesterday.

I told you that during our time together, some of the moments we shared were real

and they were, I did feel something for you Harris. Fuck. Okay. I, I wasn’t, I wasn’t sure you meant that, but I was, I was working you, huh. Well, I know how important. It is for you to find Megan and I was your last lead and you know, I think you would say anything to convince me to agree to be Deprogram. Yeah.

I, I don’t think that Romeo and Juliet had these kind of conversations too. Well, I, I don’t think they were secret agents and they weren’t trained to second guess everything and everyone. I completely understand. Are you thinking yesterday that I was working an angle and, um, Even if I was, I’m not right now.

This is just us, you and me, for real.

Well, doesn’t look like we have any kind of a welcoming committee. Oh, according to the military co bases. Gotta be right around here somewhere. Hey, that way out there. Yeah. See that building? Let’s do it. No, it it, it’s not. Bo died in hope’s arms, and you died in Steve’s and my lady died in John’s. Are you telling me the truth?

I was alive. I’m not telling you anything. Enough chocolates. Try this out. Shirley,

Megan stuff. Damn it, Bob, I don’t wanna hurt you. Why are you doing this? Don’t you want us to be together? Everything that I’ve done for you, I’ve, I’ve cured your brain tumor. I, I brought you back to life and this is the way that you’re thinking What we had ended years ago, we were never meant to be together.

So, And you gonna go be with hope, because I am not gonna let that happen. I let that

You need to find yourself another Guinea pig. In fact, why don’t you give yourself the serum? How are you doing? Sedative, you shouldn’t have the strength. You should’ve given me a bigger joke,

tenacious, greedy. Come back here, come.

The place is a maze. We’ll cover more ground if we split up. So you go that way.

Go here.

Do you really mean that?

Mm-hmm. , I need to trust you. We’d have to take it one step at a time. Take it slow.

What the hell is going on here?

What the.

Thanks for the.

I’m gonna go into my future on my own.

Kayla: Bo!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Kate: Where is the Bo that that I knew that was a rebel, that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole lab and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames? I mean, I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man? That Bo Brady did not follow orders, hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo Brady right now would think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it. That someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway.

Bo: How about this? I want you dead.

Kate: Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, pull that trigger,

Rolf: What a spectacular rat, Skippy, look at your shining fur, sparkling eyes. That serum is working its magic on you. My little beauty,  Kate Roberts could have sit from the fountain of youth as well, but she chose to be difficult and now she’s dead. It looks as though Megan has put our two remaining guests back to sleep in order to avoid another escape attempt, and we can’t afford to lose any more lab rats before the serum is ready for testing.  No offense and so happens. I’ve manufactured a new batch in record time. You’ve been an excellent test subject. Now to see how the humans do

Hum it Harris, take a deep breath. That works. It’s not working. I can’t remember anything from the day Megan took me to the day. The day I woken the crap. It’s okay. It’s all right. Just, hey, just give it time. It’s alright. Megan, sub drive to you to years of wine control. You’ve been working with Kimberly for less than 24 hours, maybe this is a part of my brain that doesn’t wanna be reprogrammed.

You want your life back. Yes, I do want my life back.

I wanna find Megan

and I wanna bring her.

For your sake

from mine. Oh, there you are, right. Good news, miss sve. I’ve finished making a new batches of serum and I’ve tested it on my little friend Skippy here. How is he? She, when she’s never looked better racing around her cage like a young pup. Why don’t you look pleased? Because the serum won’t do me any good if I’ve already lost Bo, and that will all be your fault.

My fault. What did I do? You said he was beat forever. Loyal and true to me. He has been. No, he has not. Last night after I ordered him to kill Kate. Wait, are you saying he didn’t go through visit? We heard the gunshot. Well, yes. Yes. He killed Kate. But then he went rogue. He said it was the last order of mine that he was gonna follow, and he locked himself in the other lab and won’t speak to me.

And how could you have let this happen?

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

It’s interesting.

Interesting. That’s all you have to say for yourself. You told me the BO would be eating outta the palm of my hand and he was until he wasn’t. Bo Brady, as you know, is an uncommonly strong-willed individual. I suspect it’s one of the reasons you fell in love with him in the first. And it’s also the reason you needed the serum to turn back time and they can fall back in love with you.

You promised. I promised nothing. Ms. Ve, as I’ve told you, I can mold people’s minds, their thought center some extent, their desires. But I can’t change who they are at the core. They will be who they’ve always been.

Parents, Carolyn Brady, and Victor Kitty. I like the kind of man you are though. You’ve got pride. You can hold your head up high and stare any man right in the eye. Proud to have you for a son. Hope you know that.

Good morning, Ms. Brady, commander Michaels. I’m Dr. Frankel. I’m a psychiatrist for the is. Where? Where? Where’s Kimberly Donovan? Dr. Donovan called me in to consult on your case. Oh, okay. And what is your assessment? Unfortunately, it appears the changes to your brain chemistry are deeply embedded. Dr. Donovan and I both agreed traditional psychotherapy may not be enough to retrieve your memories.

Okay,

now what? One option is E C T E C T Shark therapy. Historically, it’s been prescribed to treat resistant depression, but it’s also used in conditioning and therefore reconditioning. So So you, you wouldn’t Is that my brain? I wouldn’t put it like that, but yes. And you think this could get Megan’s programming out of his head?

I can’t guarantee it. And I must warn you, there are many potential side effects such as. Headaches, confusion, memory loss. In very rare cases, it can even be fatal.

I don’t care. I want to do it now. Let’s do it today. Oh, sure. About this? Yeah, sure. In that case, I’ll need you to sign this consent form.

You can take time deciding on this. We can talk it over with Kimberly. You don’t have to sign it right now. I can’t move this way anymore.

Let’s just do it now.

Virtual chess. Huh? At which, uh, your son, Theo is virtually unbeatable. It’s infuriating, right? Well, it’s definitely humbly, yes. You know, I almost beat him in a game the other day. Almost beat a key word. Well, stay at it. He’s bound to make a mistake someday. Sure. If you say so.

You know, when I think about all the worries Alexia and I had, that he would never work or live independently, and now sometimes I wish he were a little bit less independent. Yeah, I hear you. I, um, I say that about Toms and Charlotte all the time. They’re, they’re growing up so. And that will only speed up as they get older.

Theo was about Thomas’s age when you lost Lexi, right? Yes, he was. How did he react when, when you started to, um, to move on? Move on. You mean dating? Yeah. You know, Thomas and Charlotte, they adore Stephanie. And, and they’re, they’re happy that she and I are, are together, but it’s just what worries me is

worries me is, um, Dino, if it doesn’t work out and, and they’re already so attached, Chad, Dino, goodness, none of us know for sure what the future holds. I mean, my advice is take it one day at a. Enjoy what you and Stephanie have together and stop. Stop with the what ifs. . Your children are strong and you know, whatever happens down the road, it’s, but having Stephanie in their lives right now is a good thing, I think.

I think you are right. Very good. And no more what ifs. Good. I’m gonna hold you to that and segueing to, uh, a work relationship between you and Stephanie, which is also very good. I mean, Pauline is very impressed with the two of you, and you’ve helped her, you’ve helped her out of a lot of ugly gyms. Yeah.

Well, you know, we, we had that, that big screw up, uh, a few months back. We’re just grateful that she gave us a second shot. You know, Paul, she wants what she wants and, well, you know the, what’s the thing about business? It can get a little Missy.

Dear God, somebody broke in here and trashed the place. I’m not so sure about that. This place doesn’t look trash to you. No. I mean about the breaking in part. When we got here, the door was locked. Right? You, you used your key. Yes. No. So if someone picks a lock, it disables the mechanism. I learned that from my dad.

So whoever got in, got in some other way. I don’t care how they got in. All I care about is who did it, and I know exactly who it was.

I am going to turn up the voltage

stop. You’re hurting him. Lower the voltage.

Keep going, I can kick it.

Commander Harris Michaels was a strong-willed man who also fancied himself to be a hero, but he always did exactly as I ordered him too. Not always, he wouldn’t shoot hope on a vetting day. You don’t have to remind me. What is it with these men in Hope Williams? Brady? She’s like catnip. What is it that they see in her beauty brains bravery.

Ah, sorry. You asked the question, but the point is Bo doesn’t see anything in her anymore. How can you be so sure about that? He’s broken free of my. How do you know that your programming hasn’t failed entirely? How can you be sure that he hasn’t fallen for her? Again,

hope Williams Brady Pose Liaison. That drug is one true love bow and hope we’re a romance for the ages, but through the. The relationship has hardly been smooth sailing. I don’t give up easily. Fancy face. Neither do I, Brady. Forget it. Just listen. No, I’m not going stop it.

No, Paul, you can knock yourself out trying, but it’s never gonna work. You can’t change the past, Paul, you’re right. So I can take a long, healthy look at the future. We don’t have a future anymore.

We’ll see about that.

You know who did this to your office? Well, of course, Sloane Peterson. Who else? You have proof or you’re just guessing? Come on, Stephanie. Ever since Bell got her case against me and Chanel thrown out Sloane, she’s made some big vows. She’s going to get her revenge some way, some. Well, I mean, trashing your office is upsetting, but it doesn’t seem like Sloane’s mo.

Well, maybe she’s trying to find dirt to use against me. I don’t know. The woman is unhinged. I guess that’s possible. It’s not only possible. It is what? It’s what happened? Oh, no, she’s not gonna get away with this. Wait, where are you going? Where do you think I’m going over there to ring her scr little neck.

You know, I can’t promise that things with Paul won’t get messy. In fact, I can more easily promise that they will , but I’m glad she has you and Stephanie on her side. Me too. Hey, hey, Hey, Chad. Steve throwing around. I know he, he left a while ago. What’s going on? Oh, got, uh, some news about the hunt for Megan Hathaway.

Just wanted to give him an update. Well, I’d like to get an update myself. Uh, I can’t say I’m looking forward to meeting my long law sister unless she’s in police custody. When I do. If Bo’s feelings for Hope had returned, he wouldn’t be haul up in Z of the lab. He’d be tearing his way out of this place.

Nothing could stop him from getting home to her. He doesn’t even know where he is. It wouldn’t matter if he was on the moon, he’d find his way back to her, but he owes his life to you. That gives you considerable power in this situ. Until last night, he had done everything that I asked him to. He, he stole the orchid from Salem.

He, he killed Kate. I don’t understand what’s changed. So suddenly we have to remember he’s been through a great deal of trauma. We don’t know, has a brain tumor altered his mental status? He doesn’t have a brain tumor anymore. Again, thanks to me. I got those prisms, I revived him. I kidnapped numerous people.

I’ve been living off the grid for decades and I’ve sacrificed. Everything for one reason and one reason only to get Bo back, and I am not going to lose him. Now.

Bo Brady’s stubborn streak will be the biggest obstacle to overcome, as he will most certainly be resistant to treatment. His love for hope is embedded at the most elemental level and thus difficult to erase completely. My best strategy is to exploit the cracks in a very foundation of their relationship.

Well, are you back for good or are you going back to I’ve gotta go to Victor’s place. That’s what you want. Tell you what I want. I want you to, oh, don’t, I can’t, don’t even have. If you walk off that door pole, I don’t want you to ever come back again. Oh, come. I mean, boat. We have to go through. You go out that door and our marriage is finished.

Yeah. Uh, makes sense. I guess this is it, isn’t it? No, there’s something else I want to say too.

I do love you.

And that is never going to change no matter what happens. I love you. Just remember that. Okay,

bye.

Goodbye, Paul. Bo has loved other women, including Ms. Hathaway if only goes according to plan. He will love her once.

I remember,

so Michael’s agreed to track down Megan, are you sure it’s not some kind of trick? Well, the thing is, Kimberly is treating him and she believes he’s sincere. She says that whatever feelings he has for hope have broken through Megan’s brainwash. I hate to say it about my own sister. I, I hope she fries for what she did.

Well, we’re working on that. Does Stephanie know about the latest developments? No, actually not. Uh, but she would like to be in the loop. Do me a favor if you see her before I do, would you mind filling her in? Sure. I’m sorry. If you were worried about her last. Stephanie’s a grown woman, you know, and if I haven’t made it clear before, I’m glad that she has her support, especially now.

Thank you for saying that. We’re going through a tough time and we’re helping each other the best that we can. Well, they have a great relationship work-wise, and Paul just. SJ P R’S contract. That’s great. Stephanie must be so happy about that. Yeah, she’s actually signing the contract right now, and I, I, I supposed to have heard from her by now.

Um, I’m gonna just go and make sure everything’s okay. Ms. Price. You can’t just go over there and confront Sloan. Why the hell Matt? Because she could be dangerous. We should call the police. You know that if I called the police that gossip, manga lady, lawn mower, whistleblower, whatever. She’ll publish another clickbait column about the latest scandal to plague Paulina Price.

But how is it a scandal that someone trashed your office? I just told you to put out a press release insisting that no one gets away with crossing me. This will make me look like some sort of pathetic victim, or at least a magnet for disaster. It is not your fault that someone broke in and aha. So you agree she broke in?

Why don’t, why don’t you let me handle the. Starting with pointing out that strangling someone is not the most strategic move. Mm. Well, yeah. Alright. Alright. Bye. I’ll give you that. I’ll tell you what though. I know someone who can handle this discreetly. If you’ll let me give him a call.

It comes down to the age old. Nature versus Nurture. Bo was raised as a Brady to be a solid and decent member of the community, but by blood, he’s Victor Kitty’s son

in all my life. I wanted a son, somebody I could share my work with, share my life with somebody to pass my dream onto. I have that now. Couldn’t ask for a better son than you, Bo. I mean, I look at you and I see me now. I take that back. I have, I look at you and I see the good parts of me.

That explains why he was the black sheep of the Brady Clan. I intend to tap into his dark side, something he shares with Ms. Hathaway. There must be something that you can do, give Bo’s brain a tumor or something. He’s not a mo. You know what I mean? I need you to ensure that he is hopelessly devoted to only me.

And then we can use the serum and we can turn back time and we can go back to the good old days before Hope Williams came along, ruin and be fake with the giant buttons. Kill shoes is, are you all right?

Yeah, I think so. What do you remember?

Is it working off? Do you have control facilities? With Megan, it was like, it was like a lab and there was this guy with a white pony. Dr. Bra. Yes. Yes. That, that, that’s it. That’s his name. They put electrodes on my head like this. What else did you see?

There was this, there was a tube light container in the lab. When he was upright, he was human sized. Two for a person? Yes. And there was someone inside, who was it? Four in the tube.

Damn it. If only we had some other leads on Megan, we wouldn’t be totally at the mercy of this. Harris Michaels, I just thought of that woman at Homicidal bench walking around. It just burns me.

What? Why are you looking at me like that, Stevens? It’s just like you’re, you’re letting this quest take over your life. Okay. I know what you’re gonna say. I say This is no way to deal with my. But lemme tell you something, man. This is the only thing getting me outta bed in the morning. It helps me avoid thinking about life without Kayla.

I just can’t think about it, buddy. You know, you have to eventually. They just know that you, your friends, are there for you, whatever you need.

Who were you calling?

What the hell happened here? Exactly what it looks like. Someone tore the place up. Are you all right? She’s fine. So am I. If, uh, Do you see who did it? No. We walked in and found it this way. I assume the police have been called. Uh, not yet. We haven’t called them. Why not? Because I want this handled with the utmost discussion, and I’m about to do just that as long as Paulina agrees with my plan.

This person you saw on the tube, did you have any idea who it could have?

The glass was obscured by fog. I couldn’t see their face. Is there anything else you remember from the room? Anything at all

or something? Something on the wall? Some. Some sort of chart. Maybe a nautical map.

Do you think you could identify it? I remember seeing coordinates

make a backslab that map could lead you. Right. Tour. And whoever else she might be keeping there.

Where is the boat that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole last. I like the kind of man you are though. Couldn’t ask for a better son than you taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flame. How proud I son. It’s fancy

you. Having you for a son has changed my life. Bob, man, look at you and I see me now I take that back. I. I look at you and I see the good parts of me, you honest, and look at me. So you’re not happy to see me.

Is

Indoc

Marvel Thought you would be so good at thinking.

We had a lot of wonderful moments here, didn’t we?

Yeah, I think I can remember a few. Where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the.

I guess that answers my question. One question is that whether or not you want me here after that kiss, I know you too.

It’s fancy. Please don’t leave me.

If you want me to perform a tuneup on bo, you’ll need to either be cooperative or coerced. Yes, I have a plan A and a plan B. Why does that not surprise me? You just keep working on the serum.

What are you looking for?

Got it. If I should return,

and this is exactly how you found it, if it is, thanks again for coming so fast. Yeah, of course. You see anything? Hello? Yeah. No sign. A forced entry. Paulina, are you sure that, uh, nothing appears to be missing? No, but we already knew this. Oh, I’m just asking, does this all seem weird to you? Yeah, I mean, it’s, it’s unusual.

Pollina. Are you sure that nobody happened to have gotten a hold of a spare key? Are you saying, this is my fault? Hey, I’m just covering all my bases here. I wanna get a forensic unit in here and. Desperate press. No, no, no. You don’t need to bother with that. I can tell you who’s guilty. So go do your job at arrest Sloan Peterson.

So what do you intend to do with Megan when you find her? Well, it’s probably best. You don’t hear the answer to that, Mr. Mayor.

It’s hope. Hey, hope. What’d you? We may have a general location. Okay. Text me what you got. You got it? As soon as I get off. Okay, we’ll check it out. I’m gonna call John. We’ll hop on a plane and we’ll meet you there. Okay, great. See you soon. Listen, I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta get going. Yeah. No, I know. I know you.

Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris, Harris.

There’s a side of BO that was drawn to Megan, the side that craves danger, excitement, life on the wild side under the right circum. She might once again welcome her with open arms.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Elizabeth: What if I get fired? What if this is the end of my time here at general hospital? Oh, she’s here. Ah. Hi. My part is finished. They’re making their decision now. How long is it gonna take? Is a quick decision good or bad? I wish I knew. What i do know is that you’re an excellent nurse, and I made that clear to the board.

[ Cellphone dings ] Oh. A little fire to put out here. I’ll be right back. Finn: Okay. This is so bizarre. Half of me wants this to be over with, and the other part wants it to drag on forever. Because what if these are my last minutes on staff? Either way, I just — I need to face it and deal with it. And you will. Look, I — I know how important your independence is to you. And if you need to face this on your own, I understand. I-I could step out. My life may be about to change forever. There’s no one else I’d rather be by my side.

[ Footsteps approaching ] I, uh, just got a notification. They’ve reached their decision. Oh, god. Here we go. Nurse baldwin. After careful consideration, the committee has decided… not to take any disciplinary action against you. I have your car keys. You called finn. I know that you’re upset. After I specifically asked you not to discuss what’s happening in my life with finn or chase. How can I explain what’s happening in your life if i don’t know what’s happening in your life? Because you won’t tell me. I’m worried about you. Worried. About what? You just said you don’t know anything. So let’s just leave it that way. I can’T. You’re my friend. I care about you, whether you like it or not. I am getting a whole-new education on the backstage elements of the nurses’ ball. You guys would not believe how important it is to have the right lighting package. Fortunately, the lighting designer that lucy has always used is available, but he is not cheap. Thankfully, the nurses’ ball is fully funded, so all the proceeds can go to hiv/aids research. I’m so glad deception is able to donate $300,000 and match all the customers’ donations. Wow. That’s a lot of money. Lucy will be so excited. God rest her soul. Sasha. Does kelly’s make biscotti? Not that I know of, but the cupcakes are spectacular. Hm. Oh! Uh, you know my mother-in-law, gladys. Sure do. Yeah, we met at the savoy. Isn’t that right, gladys? What were you doing at the savoy? Well, go ahead, gladys. You want to tell them or should I?

[ Elevator whirring ] Portia: Is there hope for us, curtis? I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Is it? Curtis. Just tell me if our love for one another is strong enough to get us through this. Not that long ago, you were the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And now that trust is broken. And I don’t think our love can fix that.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Telephone rings ] Marshall, hi. What are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I’m just coming back from my follow-up with dr. Samuels. I know we haven’t had a chance to chat at the house, but I’ve — I’ve really been wondering. How did it go? Didn’t curtis tell you? Well, curtis said to me he would tell me if he could, but the information is private. I think that says it all, doesn’t it? Scotch. Neat. Curtis. Hey. Uh, you don’t have to worry. This is my first drink. I can promise you it won’t be my last. Might get ugly, so… you might want to get while the getting’s good.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll have what he’s having. Trina. Hi. I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if the baby settled in okay. Come in. Things didn’t go exactly the way that I hoped that they would. We love our new room, don’t we, ace? Yeah? Who’s that? Esme’s here?

[ Ace cooing ] Um, we live here now, thanks to ace’s grandmother. Isn’t that right, ace? Just one big, happy family.

[ Ace crying ] Oh, I know. Why you fussin’? Why you fussin’?


Trina, it’s so nice to see you, sweetie. I’m sorry just to show up. Oh. Are you kidding me? You’re always welcome here. I didn’t want to disturb the baby. I-I really didn’t realize. This is a very recent development. We all agreed that, uh, it would be best if esme and ace stayed with us. The alternative would be to get esme a place above kelly’s, but that’s no place for a baby, so… yeah, so, um, mommy came up with a compromise. It seemed like a good idea. So are you — are you going back to your uncle sonny’s place or…? Spencer: No, grandmother has been very generous to let me stay here. That way, I can be right down the hall if my little brother needs me. So…why are you here? And not at your own nightclub? Drinks are free there, you know. Too many things to bother me at my nightclub. And tonight, I don’t want to be bothered. I will have another scotch, though. Go ahead. I know you want to ask me what’s wrong.

[ Chuckles ] I figure if you want to tell me, you will. And if not, well… it’s good scotch. You always did love a fine highland malt. You remember. Hm. Cop’s curse. I remember everything. I ran into trina tonight. And I’m guessing by your bar tab, things went badly? Actually, it was the opposite. Great. Trina’s a good kid. Trina’s the best. But she still doesn’t want to take a dna test. I gotta say, there was a — there was a moment there that I thought we could really have a relationship. There’s just one big “if.” If it turns out she’s your daughter? Well, it sounds like you made a nice start. Yeah, it was. Until her mom walked in. I hate that there’s still so much distance between you and curtis. And I know that this is my fault. But curtis has such little trust in me that he wouldn’t want to share your latest medical evaluation? It’S…

[ Sighs ] I just hope the information you got from dr. Samuels was good. Wait. Wait. Don’t go. Is there someplace we can talk? Listen, I don’t want you to feel obligated to keep me in the loop on this. I really don’T. No, no, no. This isn’t obligation. This is gratitude. You’re the one. You. You’re the one who first suggested I might have been misdiagnosed 40 years ago. It seems to me you should know what the specialist said. We could go to the break room. Gladys: It’s still a free country, isn’t it? Can’t I stop in a club without it becoming town gossip? Hey. Don’t be upset, gladys. It’s just not like you to go to the savoy by yourself. Ohh. I think I know why gladys was there. Same reason I was there. It was ladies’ night. Ha! You got me! Ha! Uh… if you were really my friend, you’d stop prying into my personal and professional lives. Gregory, if I didn’t pry into your personal and professional life, I wouldn’t know that you’ve been lying to me for months. If I didn’t speak to the dean, I wouldn’t know that you didn’t work there anymore. Which wasn’t your place. And you have absolutely no business reaching out to finn to dig up information on me. I — I — if I hadn’t been with finn when you called, you were gonna tell my son everything, weren’t you? Tell him everything? I don’t know anything.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what’s going on with you. I’m just trying to help. I don’t want any help. Is that clear enough for you? The committee has determined that you cooperated with nikolas cassadine in the service of providing medical care to a pregnant woman. We believe you had reason to assume involving the authorities would cause mr. Cassadine to run off with ms. Prince or, worse, cause her harm. Dr. Finn and dr. Randolph convinced us that you may have saved her and her baby’s life. As such, no further action will be taken against you. Thank you. You have an outstanding record and many supporters, nurse baldwin. It was clear to the committee that you’re an asset to the hospital. Good luck to you. Thank you. If you’ll excuse me, I do have to speak to the committee on another matter.

[ Both laugh ]


I know you think that I overstepped. Oh. [ Scoffs ] You did. Look, I am not the one with a drinking problem, so in the future, please save your sympathies for the people in your meetings. Gregory, wait. I jumped to the conclusion that you had a drinking problem because you appeared drunk at 11:00 A.M., And then you were belligerent, and then you lied to me about really, really important stuff for a long time. You lost your job and lied about it. What am i supposed to think? I was wrong. You’re not a journalist. You’re more like a cop who pulled me over. What’s next? A-a breathalyzer? Well, you tell me. Would you pass or fail? Thank you for staying by my side through this awful ordeal. Any time. Hey. Hey. The committee was influenced by what you had to say, finn. Your words had a lot of impact. Oh, it wasn’t just me. It was — it was you and portia and mayor collins. I mean, it was a lot of people willing to vouch for nurse baldwin’s commitment to this hospital and nursing. And epiphany. Yeah. Fortunately, the committee didn’t need to hear directly from your supervisor, since she’s out of town. And there are several testimonials from epiphany already in your file. Her support for you is well-known around here.

[ Chuckles ] So, nurse baldwin, no excuses. I expect to see you here in uniform first thing tomorrow for your next shift.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Both sigh ] Hey, you want to — you want to call the boys, give them the good news? No, I want to tell them face-to-face when I get home. Alright. Yeah. This is my home, too. And I almost lost it. Glad it didn’t come to that. Hated the thought of doing rounds without knowing you were here to have my back. Oh, well, you’ve managed without me in the past. That was before I knew what I was missing. Yeah, gladys was there for the good music and the dancing. And I was there because, well, whenever there’s a ladies’ night, there’s bound to be a few unattached ladies. Well, don’t leave us hanging. Did you get lucky? Uh, well, you know how it is. Luck comes and goes. Isn’t that right, gladys?

[ Coughing ] Are you okay?

[ Strained ] Went down the wrong pipe. Be careful. Maxie: You know what? I’m glad that you’re here. I have a question for you that will change your life. Come on. Come with me. O-okay. I’m g-gonna settle up and go. Ha! Hey. Gladys. I know that cody upset you. And I know why. Look. You don’t have to worry. I tried drowning my sorrows in a bottle on my wedding night. It didn’t work. Tonight I’m just blowing off some steam. Well, I am probably not the best person for you to be talking to about this. If I hadn’t opened up to stella, trina may have never confronted portia. You weren’t trying to sabotage my wedding. You know me, and you know that I don’t like the kind of lies that — the kind that blew up our marriage? You don’t, right? I don’t want the same thing to happen to you and portia. I believe you. I’m just afraid it’s too late to do anything about it now. As long as you meant the vows you said when you married portia, there is something you can do. Which is? Do what you couldn’t do with me. Forgive her. I hope you know how lucky you are to have someone like laura looking after you and your baby. I did have my doubts when spencer suggested that I move in above kelly’s while ace stayed here. I mean, I won’t be separated from my son. And I never wanted that. And I did have a hard time believing that part. I wondered if your loyalty wasn’t to nikolas and spencer. When I suggested that both ace and I stay here, you were so kind and, you know, quick to say yes that it really reassured me. We all want what’s best for ace, don’t we, spencer? It is the only thing that matters. Trina: Then I hope it all works out for y’all. I have to go. I’ll walk you out. It’s, um, past ace’s bedtime. Oh. Come on. I’ll help you put him down. No need to walk me to my car. I know you probably want to get back inside. Trina, I am so sorry. I did not mean to spring this on you. You don’t owe me an explanation. I just want you to understand that I’m only going along with this for ace. Spencer, I-I get it. I really do. And in this way, you and esme get to raise him together. That is the last thing that I want. But if esme and the baby had not moved in here, then I would have lost my brother for good.


A necessary evil. You know that esme has the law on her side and that she has the power to keep my brother away from me. Moving her into your grandmother’s house was the only way to keep him close. Yes. I understand. Um, that song you sang to ace, it was so pretty. Laura: Ohh. Thanks.

[ Chuckles ] It’s the same lullaby I used to sing to my children. Somehow I can’t picture heather or ryan singing to me. Even if they had the chance. Well, you know, fortunately, your biological parents didn’t raise you. Honey, I’m sorry that you don’t have more happy childhood memories. But you know what? It’s not too late to make sure that your son will. In other words, you’re counting on esme to be someone completely new, a totally different girl from the one who’s tried to do her crazy father’s bidding and hurt as many people as possible. She has no memory of that time, at all. She doesn’t seem to. I mean, when I went to visit esme in spring ridge, I didn’t get a feeling that she was putting on an act. But just because she doesn’t remember doesn’t automatically make her a good person. What if the new esme is — is even worse than the old one? If I forgive portia, what does that make me? A loving husband? No. It makes me a hypocrite. Jordan, our marriage ended because of lies that you had been telling me for barely a year. Oh. So — so how are you okay with portia’s even bigger lie for 20 years? You’re forgetting something. It wasn’t my choice to end our marriage. And dr. Samuels is sure you don’t have any of the markers for the disease? Not a single one. Of course, it doesn’t prove I don’t have schizophrenia, but according to the doctor… well, the odds are less likely because you don’t have any of the genetic markers. Exactly. And it also explains why, after your original diagnosis, you never experienced another episode. I can’t say I’m not relieved. Look, after walking around for 40 years being afraid of a ticking time bomb in my head… but I don’t even know what I have or if there was ever even anything wrong with me at all. Which makes you feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark. Sound like you know the feeling. I just hope it hasn’t made you doubt me. Because I couldn’t love you more if you were my own daughter. Gladys. I love you, too. And I know that you’re grieving brando as much as I am. I just hate to think of you going out alone when we could be together. So let’s make the nurses’ ball our coming-out party. We’ll get really glammed up and wow everyone on the red carpet.

[ Laughs ] Oh, well, you’re gonna have to wow them without me. I’ve seen the fancy gowns everybody wears. I don’t have anything like that. Well, that’s the perfect excuse to buy you one. With what? My money. What’s the point of having it if I can’t share it with you? Hello?! Cody! Woman right here giving you a great idea. Mm-hmm. Are you even listening to me? Yeah. No, no, no. You want me to, what, ride in on a horse for the nurses’ ball? Do some rope tricks or what? When I said I needed a cowboy, I meant to dance with the others. Mm-hmm. What — what others? Magic milo and the magic wands. Come on! It’ll be fun! There’s great music. You guys get to do this choreographed dance. All the women in the audience are screaming for you. And your costume is…simple! You get the shirt that you get to wear for, like, a minute, and then you have these breakaway pants. Breakaway — so this is a strip show. You want me to take off all my clothes? Of course not!

[ Chuckles ] You get to keep your boots on. I’m gonna say this one more time. I don’t have a drinking problem. Yes, I stumbled at the metro court. Everyone stumbles now and then. Probably even you. And you claim I was slurring my words. But have you thought maybe — maybe it’s just a case of confirmation bias on your part? Because you decided I was drunk, so you saw and heard exactly what you expected. What you didn’t see was me pouring vodka into that glass of orange juice. Just because no one saw you doesn’t — ohh! Have you ever — ever — seen me over my limit or out of control? In all the time we’ve been together, have I ever been drunk in your company? No. No. Will you please explain to me why you got fired from your job? Ah! I… I wasn’t fired. I quit! Why would you do that?! That doesn’t make any sense. You love to teach, you love journalism, and yet you walked away from both. I can see that something is really wrong here. Will you please let me help you? Alexis… I’m sick.


I’m sorry. You’re sick. Okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Would you tell me — am I allowed to ask what’s wrong? No, no. I have already told you more than I intended. Or do you want to see my medical chart now? No, I — no, no, no.

[ Exhales deeply ] As long as you have someone to help you. You’ve got finn. He’ll get you the best hospital care or whatever care you need. Finn doesn’t know. You didn’t tell your son? No. No. And it’s going to stay that way. That doesn’t make any sense. He’s one of the best doctors in the country. Why — why wouldn’t you tell him? Do you really want to help me? I really do. There’s one thing you can do for me. You name it. Give me back my car keys.

[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hey, look who just got dropped off. Hi, baby girl. Hi, aunt elizabeth. We’re just going to beradino’s for spaghetti and meatballs. Want to come? Now I know what you’re thinking. This will be cheesy and embarrassing, and we’re exploiting men. But it’s — it’s not like that at all. It’s good, clean fun, and everybody loves it. You’d be shaking your booty for a fabulous cause. For you, maxie, yeah, I’ll do it. That’s it? I had a whole list of excellent reasons.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, it’s no worries, you know? I’ve been a body double on location shoots out west before. I even shot a whole scene, uh, naked on horseback. It was me, not the horse. The horse still had a saddle on. Okay. You’re still amazing. Thank you so much.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. You’re so sweet. But I-I-i wouldn’t feel right using your money on myself. Actually… I have been doing some research. Traditionally, the guardian of a conservatorship gets paid a court-approved salary. You have been managing my finances this whole time for free. It’s only fair that you get paid for all your hard work. That’s nice of you.

[ Chuckles ] I know how hard you have been trying to honor brando’s memory. He would want me to do this. Alright, who’s ready for some great news? Mine first. Maxie, we’ve got some high-end shopping to do. Guess who’s gonna be the belle of the nurses’ ball? Mm. I’m fine.

[ Sighs ] But this is about you right now. And I’m sure dr. Samuels explained to you that they would be weaning you off of your medication and monitoring you in case you had any unusual reactions. And if I don’t have any more episodes, blah, blah, blah. What does that mean? Were they just careless 40 years ago when they diagnosed me? Did they — they just call it schizophrenia — schizophrenia — when I might have had something else? Dr. Samuels is the expert in this field. I’m not. No. No. But you, you’re family. And I trust what you tell me. I appreciate that. What I can say to you is that the understanding of disorders like schizophrenia has evolved greatly over the past four decades. But I don’t want to second guess your original doctors or hypothesize a theory until we know more. Seems to me you already know more than what you’re saying. Haven’t we learned keeping things to yourself does more harm than good? If you didn’t want our marriage to end, then why didn’t you fight harder for it? I fought as hard as I could. But in the end, your happiness meant more to me than my own. Because…

[ Sighs ] Because what?

[ Exhales deeply ] Because I pushed you away. I was furious at the secrets you’d kept.

[ Sighs ] But what if… what if I wasn’t so quick to judge you? What if I had handled things differently? Would we still be together? We would. That’s another reason why it’s a good thing for esme to stay here with the baby. If she starts to show her true colors, I’ll be the first to know. I hope. I mean, she fooled you in the beginning.

[ Chuckles wryly ] That was a long time ago, before I knew you. What does that mean? It’s like imitation vanilla or something. Imitation anything, really. You know, that buttery stuff that they put on your popcorn? Imitation crab on your california roll. Did you just compare me to a california roll?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] No, I just mean that it’s — it’s easy to settle for an imitation of something. But everything that esme gave me, or pretended to give me throughout our relationship — support, understanding, connection — it was all fake, and I bought it, and I believed in it till I experienced the real thing, and you showed me real support, real understanding, and a true connection. You gave me something that esme could never give me — honesty. And I may not always like what you have to say to me… but I never question that what you’re telling me is the truth. I want to do everything right for my son. I mean, give him all the things that — that I never had, but… heather, um, my mother, she… warned me not to trust spencer or you. Esme, sweetheart, your mom isn’t someone you should be taking advice from.

[ Ace cries ] I’m sorry. Oh, look at that. He didn’t stay asleep long, did he? Yeah. I’ll get him. It’s okay, sweetie. You take a minute. Oh, the baby’s crying. You should go. I’m sure that he has all the help he needs. So do you. Do I? You know you do.


this sweet little boy just missed his mommy, I think.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you? Come here, angel. Look. Here she is. I know.

[ Chuckles ] Hello. You should be sleeping, right? [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Oh, I, um, don’t know what’s keeping your brother. Aww.

[ Ace babbles ] You know, I’ll go warm up a bottle, hon. Oh, thank you. What’s that?

[ Door opens ] Trina, um… I thought you left. There’s no point in reliving this all again. The past is the past. But we’re still here. And drinking, which always makes people sentimental. You know good and well it ain’t the booze.

[ Sighs ] It’s been a long time since we’ve talked like this. Yeah, too long. Thank you for your concern, but I think I have burned all my bridges. In fact, I’ve even torched them. You and curtis need to build new ones. I think we were talking about you, weren’t we? Now, if you really want answers, I think you should contact the original medical team that diagnosed you way back then. If any of them are still around. Yeah. It’s like you said. If a bridge is burned, build another one. Hm. Thank you.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] This is so exciting. Gladys and I are walking the red carpet together.

[ Chuckles ] Sasha insists on buying me a fancy dress. How lucky am i to have such a generous daughter-in-law? Hm. Yeah, you’re lucky alright. Actually, we’re all lucky here, because cody has decided to join magic milo and the magic wands and bare almost everything for charity. Really? Eh, it’s for a good cause, you know? Exactly. And now that my work here is done, come on, gladys, let’s figure out something for you to wear. I need to know what you’re thinking so we can figure out designers. You really made maxie’s day. Ah, well, same as you did for gladys. So things are okay with you two now? Gladys has been struggling with her grief. So have I. That doesn’t always make for the best communication, but we’re working through it. In fact, our conversation today was so good that I decided to start paying her a salary. You really think that’s a good idea? Why not? I as ked you to leave my keys –which, by the way, you had no right to confiscate — with the concierge. But once again, you decided you know best. I took your car keys because I care about you. I do.

[ Breathes shakily ] Alexis, I — I wish… gregory. Listen to me. Whatever this is, you don’t have to go through it alone. And I promise, I promise you, you can trust me. Whatever you say to me will not leave this room. I promise.


What you said about it never leaving this room…

[ Keys rattle ] I hope you meant it.

[ Sighs heavily ] Spaghetti and meatballs? My favorite. How could I say no? Can jake and aiden come, too? Sure. Sure. What about — what about cameron? He’s still sad about josslyn. Oh. Hmm. Well, hey, maybe a night out would cheer him up. Okay. He can come, too. All my favorite people. That’s what I call a celebration. You ready? Let’s go. If you think you can trust gladys, then who am i to tell you otherwise? There’s a “but” in there somewhere. And I don’t just mean the one you’ll be showing off at the nurses’ ball.

[ Both chuckle ] All I’m saying is… if you’re gonna put gladys on the payroll, trust but verify. The thing about cody is, the more I know him, the better I like him. Yes, I am grateful he agreed to be a magic wand with minimum fuss. And, yes, cody has his flaws. But everyone does. I don’t know, maybe it’s because he doesn’t pretend otherwise. He’s got that whole “broke cowboy with a sweet side” thing.

[ Both laughing ] I see a lot to like in him. I think sasha would understand what I mean. Do you think there’s something going on there?

[ Scoffs ] I hope not. Why? Don’t you like cody?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Terry. Terry, hey. Did the, um, committee make a decision about elizabeth yet? She’s been reinstated.

[ Gasps ] What a relief. Oh, that’s so wonderful. I know she must be so happy. It’s about time we had some good news around here, right? Stella. I know you’ve been avoiding me… since the wedding. Look, look, I need a favor. Do — do you still have all of irene’s papers? Well, are my medical records among them? Officer: Commissioner, your car is outside. Well. I think I about reached my limit. Me, too. Scotch is a lot stronger than I remembered. Good thing I have a driver waiting. A very good thing. I’ll be right out. No, no. It’s on me. Thank you. Well… have a good night.

[ Exhales sharply ] Um, spencer and i were just — trina was just telling me how pcu has a daycare in case I want to take classes during the summer. Oh. Um, I mean, that’s very kind of her. But you won’t need to take care of ace. I’m perfectly capable of caring for my son. Isn’t that right, ace? Mommy’s gonna take care of you. Thank you for stopping by. Good night. Night.

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You’re proposing. You’re really… ready for marriage.

Bill: I am ready to share my life with someone who finally understands me. A woman that I can share my dreams with. All my secrets. And I know that she’s willing to do the same. Look, we’ve both been married before. We couldn’t be our true selves out of either fear or embarrassment. So just imagine what it will be like to be able to be our authentic selves without judgment. Am I ready?

[ Chuckles ] You’re damn right that I am ready. And I hope you are too. So say yes, sheila. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

Det. Chen: And sheila’s buying this?

Ridge: She has to. This proposal’s gonna put her over the top. She’s gonna trust bill completely and spill her secret.

Det. Chen: The crimes we can charge her with might not put her away for life, but–

Ridge: First degree murder will. We all know she’s done it. Just need some proof. Come on, sheila, take the bait.

Stephen: Ridge is mia. Now, at such a critical and dangerous time for you and your family.

Brooke: You have to understand, dad. He were so disillusioned.

Stephen: No, no, no. Thomas pulled a horrific stunt and ridge should be angry. I’m not saying otherwise, but to leave town now and for how long with sheila carter at large? I mean, what– what is wrong with him? What is ridge up to?

Paul: Hey, guys, enjoy your meal.

Woman: Thank you so much.

Deacon: So that’s it, huh? One and done? You haven’t seen brooke again?

Paul: It’s not that I don’t want to, but, uh… she’s not ready to put herself back out there. Gotta respect her wishes.

Deacon: Yeah, you do. And thanks for that. Although, I gotta tell you, I’m not surprised because ridge isn’t exactly someone that she’s gonna get over quickly.

Paul: Yeah. Well, the longer he stays out of town, the easier it should get.

Deacon: You would think.

Paul: Unless… you think maybe he’s finally made his way back?

Brooke: Dad, criticizing ridge doesn’t really help.

Stephen: Was i being critical?

Pam: Oh, a tad.

Stephen: Strange, him not being here. That’s all I’m saying.

Brooke: He’s got his reasons. Whatever it is, is important. He told me that whatever he’s doing is for himself and for the wellbeing of the family.

Stephen: Whatever that means.

Ridge: Sheila thinks she’s gonna get everything she ever wanted. Come on honey, put on the ring. Spill your guts so we can lock you up. Keep you away from our families.

Bill: Well, what is it? I mean, what’s going on in that head of yours? Are you thinking that we’re already living together and that’s a commitment? Well, no. I mean, it’s– it’s not. You can call me old fashioned, but symbolism matters to me. What that ring on your finger tells the world and, more importantly, what it tells us. This is my way of, I don’t know, breaking down any final barriers that exist between us. It– it tells you that you can believe in me. Completely. When I put this ring on your finger… it means that we can be open with each other about anything.

Sheila: No. Stop. Stop.

Deacon: Wait.

Paul: So, now that my love life’s not going anywhere, tell me about yours. Let me live vicariously through you.

Deacon: Me. What? Are you kidding me? You’ve been on way more dates than I have.

Paul: What? One?

Deacon: I– way more dates than I have.

Paul: Really? So that whole mystery woman and you are no longer an item?

Deacon: Look, the only mystery that I got going on is whether or not this place is gonna be a success. So what do you say? Let’s get back to work.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Stephen: Bill actually says it’s love, these feelings he has for sheila?

Brooke: It’s not easy for me to comprehend. I mean, why couldn’t he find a woman with a conscience or… somebody who doesn’t belong in prison?

Pam: Who hasn’t tried to kill you. I mean, he keeps… putting people he cares about at risk. That’s what I cannot wrap my head around.

Brooke: Yeah. I wish I could explain it, but I can’T. I don’t think I’ll ever understand what bill is doing with sheila.

Bill: Why are you hesitating? You don’t want this? You don’t want a future together? A life together?

Sheila: A life, yeah. And we have talked about a future. I have– I’ve fantasized about that. But even so, I– I never imagined becoming mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: Well, start imagining. Imagine the biggest, grandest wedding of your dreams. Or if you prefer to drive down to city hall and do that, hey, no problem. Whatever you prefer, right? I don’t care as long as it happens. I– I– I– wanna show all the naysayers what you mean to me. I don’t wanna hide our relationship. I don’t wanna hide our feelings. I mean, with you by my side. I don’t feel like I have to hide anything from anyone, least of all you. Share my– my hopes and my dreams and… my fears. That’s what I want this to be. We are the keepers of each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. This ring says that you can– you can believe in me completely. It’s a symbol of– of the door that we can walk through… into our future.

Sheila: Yeah, a future where, uh… I’m your wife.

Bill: Yes.

[ Laughs ] Yes. That you’re my wife. We can both have the kind of relationship that we have always longed for. One where we are– we are opened, we are honest, we have full transparency. There’s nothing hidden, no secrets.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You– you think that your sons were upset before, when they find about this–

Bill: Stop. Stop. I don’t give a damn about my sons. They don’t know what’s best for me. I know what’s best for me. And that’s you.

Sheila: Okay. Full transparency?

Bill: Mm-hmm.

Sheila: What are you really talking about here? I am– I’m not naive, bill. I’m sure that you’ve– you’ve passed this by your lawyers. So what is it? What is it that I have to sign? The prenup?

Bill: The pre…

[ Laughs ] There’s– there’s no prenup. No! What, you– you think I wanna go into this with– with an expiration date on it? No. No prenup, no lawyers, no legalese. Nothing. Nothing but my full… an undying commitment to you. Put the ring on, sheila. Say you’ll marry me. I’m jonathan lawson

Stephen: Bill wasn’t hearing anything you had to say.

Brooke: Well, that’s just it. He was. He even acknowledged that I was right.

Pam: Well, you are right, but he still wants to be with this crazy woman, a woman who shot you. Must be terrifying knowing that sheila’s walking free.

Brooke: Extremely. Not knowing when she’s gonna show up or where, or if she’s gonna be in a vengeful mood or not. It’s no way to live.

Stephen: All the more reason ridge should be here right now. Okay, honey, I– I’m trying to bite my tongue about this. But come on… ridge wants to disappear for a while, fine. But let him do it another time. Not now. Not while his family needs him the most.

Det. Chen: She hasn’t said yes yet. Could be a problem.

Ridge: Come on, bill. Just get that ring on her finger and make your fiancé confess to murder one.

Sheila: I just… I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised. It’s the last thing I was expecting,

Bill: Is it really? Even with all the late night conversations we had about this very thing and cuddling by the fire, talking about our future, you didn’t have even the slightest idea?

Sheila: Okay. There’s no doubt that we had a very powerful connection. But even so, I mean, there are times that I look at you and I really have no idea what you are thinking.

Bill: All right. Can we–

Sheila: Or– no, I’m– or how do you even feel about me?

Bill: I was about to say, I think we’ve covered that, haven’t we? And it’s– it’s hard for people like us to– to fully trust. This is the– hell, the first time in my life that I’ve been able to be my authentic self with someone. And that’s because you accept me for me. You love me for me. The good, the bad, and– and– and the ugly. We’re able to be real with each other. I’ve had– that’s the beauty of this. And that’s the symbolic promise that this ring holds. And the symbolic promise that our– our vows would hold when we stand at the altar.

Sheila: This means so much to me. It’s what I’ve always wanted. And I-I’ve always craved.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to. I just… I– I– I need a minute. I need to process, because… this is a huge step. It’ll alter my future. It– it’ll change the course of my life.

Bill: Wow.

[ Laughs ] Truer words have never been spoken. You accept my proposal, it will permanently change your future.

Sheila: I’ll have an answer. I– I will. I just… I need to go for a drive. I– I won’t be long.

Bill: Okay. I want you to do whatever, whatever you need. But… I also want you to take this with you and try it on.

Sheila: No, bill.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want– I want you to see how it feels. I’ll be here waiting for you.

Sheila: Okay. I will. I won’t be long. I will… have an answer.

[ Footsteps receding ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, I’m darlene let her leave.

Det. Chen: Don’t worry. I’m checking with the crew on the ground, making sure they’re following.

Ridge: What if she runs? What do we do then?

Det. Chen: You do remember how many agents we have on this, right? How many we’ve had since even before her absurd prison release.

Ridge: Think about that. Why would she buy that? Why would you think that a judge would just set her free?

Det. Chen: Just because your daughter didn’t testify. Clearly, he had to let her go. There was no other option. For a criminal mastermind, sheila’s kinda gullible.

Ridge: All the time we put into this. All the people. Not just… bill, but the judge, you, your team.

Det. Chen: Don’t forget you. You’ve been here day and night since the beginning.

Ridge: We couldn’t just send her down for an attempted murder. They’d let her go after a couple of years. She’d go after my family again. I can’t have that. Need to put her away for something bigger. And murder one will do the trick. Just need some proof.

[ Laptop beeps ] This can’t all have been for nothing.

Det. Chen: Ah, so that’s where she went.

Ridge: Where?

Det. Chen: Sheila, surprise, surprise, where she ran off to? Deacon sharpe’s apartment, again.

[ Knock on the door ]

Deacon: Your text said it was important. What’s going on?

Sheila: It’s– it’s– it’s bill.

Deacon: What about bill?

Sheila: It’s unbelievable. Unimaginable, really. I– I– something I– I never thought he’d ever do.

Deacon: What did he do? What did spencer do?

Sheila: I’ve been living with him for a while now.

Deacon: I’m aware.

Sheila: Oh, I– I’m– I really can’t believe that– that he took me in, that he never sent me back to jail. And– and now… I know why, deacon, he loves me. He truly loves me.

Deacon: I– I– I mean, did– did he do something to demonstrate this? I mean, what did he buy you, a tiara?

Sheila: Oh. A ring.

Deacon: A ring?

Sheila: Yes. A gorgeous, beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Deacon: Wait, you’re telling me that bill the billionaire proposed to sheila the felon?

Sheila: That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wants to make me his wife. He– he doesn’t want anything keeping us apart. He wants me to open up to him completely. I can’t believe this. I mean… he wants me to be mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: She was clearly shocked, but I think she bought it.

Ridge: You sold it well.

Bill: Well, of course I sold it well. I told you from the beginning I was gonna sell it well.

Ridge: I’m so sorry I didn’t say– yes. You sold it well. You didn’t sell it perfectly. Because once again, you had to put billy’s spin on it with all this honesty and trust. Where did that come from?

Bill: Well, whose spin am I supposed to put on it? I’m the only one here. And that was the idea, right? Lay it on thick. Get the confession.

Ridge: The idea was not to tip her off.

Bill: Well, you know what? I must have missed this chapter in my how to con a psycho handbook. Look, I told you, I’m about at the end of my rope. I wanna get that confession and be done with this.

Ridge: And you will get it if you stick to the plan. Can you do that? Just make her feel comfortable and then we can move on.

Det. Chen: She’s still at sharpe’s place.

Ridge: Your girlfriend’s at deacon’S.

Bill: What is that about? What is that? She– she has to get permission from that dimwit pizza maker to accept my proposal?

Ridge: And he’ll give it to her.

Bill: Then she’ll come racing back here. I will slip that ring on her finger, make her squeal like a pig. She will confess to everybody she’s offed. And then, then we will have her, forrester, and our families will finally be safe from that maniac, sheila carter, forever.

Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is it– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Ms. Shannon: Good. We’re all on time. I hope both parties have taken the opportunity to remind ourselves why we’re here.

Christine: We have, ms. Shannon.

Ms. Shannon: The relationship between the parties has devolved to the point where communication has become impossible and unproductive. And that has led us here.

Amanda: Yes, ms. Shannon.

Ms. Shannon: Since we’re all in agreement, there should be no further interruptions. Let’s continue. Is there more evidence that either side would like to present?

Christine: Yes.

Amanda: Yes.

Phyllis: You will never in a million years guess what I found in diane’s purse.

Jeremy: You were rummaging through her purse?

Phyllis: A big, fat diamond engagement ring. That was in her purse.

Jeremy: Huh.

Phyllis: She did it! She got jack to propose to her. So, I was right all along. That was her goal — to come here and con jack and everybody else in this town. And she has a big diamond ring to prove it.

Jeremy: All of her dreams are coming true.

Phyllis: Her dreams are my nightmares. There’s no way in hell I’m letting this happen.

Jeremy: That must be the news she was talking about.

Phyllis: Of course. Of course. She was gloating in advance. This was her “news.”

[ Sighs heavily ] I’m just thinking of my future family events, how I have to sit there and make nice and ta– oh, I’m not even gonna be invited. Forget it. I will never see my daughter again. I will never have a relationship with my daughter again. I am not letting this happen! This will not be ignored, jeremy! This evil must be eradicated.

Jeremy: Okay. Well, then it’s a good thing our plan will stop diane dead in her tracks.

Diane: [ Gasps ] Is that what I think it is?

Jack: Your dress for the gala, madam.

Diane: Oh, thank you so much. I can’t wait for you to see me in it.

Jack: Neither can I.

Diane: Ooh. Keep looking at me like that, and we’ll never make it out the door. But it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Jack: You will not believe how many people have come back to town for this little shindig.

Diane: A night to remember. I mean, just think — a charming little spot on the map grew up to be genoa city. You never know.

Jack: Actually, I was thinking about a celebration a little closer to home. I know we’ve had our chance, the two of us, to celebrate our good fortune. We told summer and kyle. We told my sister traci. I was wondering how you might feel about telling a few more people.

Diane: How many more?

Jack: I was thinking everyone.

Diane: Jack —

Jack: It is the perfect time and place. Everyone we know and love will all be there.

Diane: Genoa city’s bicentennial?

Jack: What is more glamorous than a gala?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Some people have minor joint pain plus stomach problems.

Diane: Are you sure you want to go so public with our news?

Jack: Why not go big? All our friends and family will be there, elegantly dressed, in a partying mood, celebrating the past, moving on to the future. Let’s be the future. Come on. We’ll be the toast of the town.

Diane: And then we’ll have to face our critics.

Jack: Yeah, well, we’ll do that together.

Diane: Okay. Let’s do it.

Jack: Something’s still bothering you.

Diane: Phyllis came by here earlier.

Jack: Really? What did she want?

Diane: Well, she said she was meeting summer, and then she got a text from summer saying they were meeting somewhere else.

Jack: Well, I think it’s normal for summer to have second thoughts about inviting her here.

Diane: No, it was just so soon after seeing phyllis and jeremy together, you know? And her behavior was really off. Well, more off than usual. Jack, I don’t know what it is, but I am pretty sure the two of them are up to something.

Phyllis: I mean, I know exactly what this woman’s gonna do. She’s gonna make this whole gala about her and her engagement. She’s gonna celebrate. “Hey, I’m back from the dead, and I’m also the newest member of the abbott family,” with this big, disgusting ring on her finger.

Jeremy: She is insufferable. I mean, the fact that she’s being so unjustly rewarded despite all the crimes she’s committed and all the lies she’s told.

Phyllis: I don’t understand this. I don’t understand why I’m the only one who sees her for who she is. I don’t get it.

Jeremy: You’re not alone anymore, phyllis. You got me. And if she’s planning this big announcement tonight, I think it’s only right that we make our move, as well, to balance the scales of justice.

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, everything has to go as planned. It has to because if this blows up in my face…

Jeremy: That’s the beautiful thing about a masquerade ball. I can work my magic, and no one will even know I was there.

Amanda: Please direct your attention to exhibit 107, a legally binding document signed by mr. Devon hamilton.

Ms. Shannon: Thank you.

Amanda: You will see his clear and easily recognizable signature where he agreed to the merger. Now, while it is regrettable that mr. Hamilton has had a change of heart about the agreement he signed —

Jill: Oh, good. This is the right room. It is a maze out there. I had to leave breadcrumbs to find my way back home. Please tell me I’m not too late.

Amanda: Um, ms. Shannon, this is ms. Abbott.

Jill: I’m sorry I couldn’t make it earlier. It couldn’t be helped.

Ms. Shannon: Fine. Have a seat, ms. Abbott.

Jill: Oh, no, no, no, no. I will not need a chair because this won’t take any time at all.

Lily: Jill, what are you talking about?

Jill: I’m about to solve this whole mess right now.

Mucinex nightshift fights your

worst nighttime symptoms

Chelsea: What if we used a game format to help people navigate all sorts of interpersonal conflict? You know, um, small challenges get bigger, more complex as the player gains more skills.

Daniel: Yeah. No, no, no. I love it. Conquering fears like public speaking or job interviews, first dates.

Chelsea: Dealing with a difficult boss, um, or a challenging mother.

Daniel: Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I’m not gonna be able to help you with either of those scenarios.

Chelsea: Yeah, me neither. I guess we’re going to have to do some research, try to figure out what it’s like to be raised by a difficult, nontraditional, maternal type.

Daniel: That’s gonna be tough.

Chelsea: I really think if we put our heads together, we can come up with a magical world where we help people navigate certain pitfalls and help them come out the other side.

Daniel: Thanks to omega sphere.

Chelsea: Yeah. So, let’s start changing the world, one player at a time.

Daniel: I’m in.

Jack: I am not gonna let phyllis or stark or anyone else rob us of this happiness. We are safe. Our security team is in place as long as we want them. We have nothing to fear.

Diane: I know, but —

Jack: We deserve this. I want to shout this from the rooftops, don’t you?

Diane: You’re right. I can’t wait to tell the world that I am finally becoming mrs. Jack abbott.

Jack: Good. You’re not gonna worry about the naysayers?

Diane: No. But it’s kyle. And we agreed to hold off on making our announcement until after we were sure he was on board with our marriage.

Jack: We did, but I’m sure he’s on board by now.

Diane: Yeah, but we don’t know for certain. Have you talked to him? I haven’T.

Jack: Well, not about that specifically. I’m sure he’s just worried it’s too good to be true. His parents are finally getting married. How could he not approve? Once he sees how happy we are, he’ll know it’s the right thing.

Diane: Aww.

[ Doorbell rings ] Does anybody know we’re here?

Jack: I’ll handle it. Mamie.

Mamie: Hello, jack.

Jack: Welcome home.

Mamie: [ Laughing ] Ohh! What a lovely thing to hear.

Jack: Come in! Come in! Come in!

Mamie: Nothing’s changed. When was the last time you redecorated?

Jack: Ah, admittedly, it’s been a little while.

Mamie: Oh, hello — diane jenkins? I thought that you —

Diane: Uh, it’s — it’s a long story. Lovely to see you, mamie.

Jack: So, I assume you’re here for the gala?

Mamie: I am. I wouldn’t miss it. I booked my hotel reservations months ago —

Jack: Oh, no, no, no hotel. I won’t hear of it. You’ll stay here. Ashley and traci are in town right now. They would love to see you.

Mamie: [ Chuckles ] I can’t wait to see them.

Diane: You know, you two have a lot to catch up on. I, um — I have an errand to run. I’ll see you later.

[ Door closes ]

Ms. Shannon: You’re here to resolve the situation?

Jill: That’s right.

Ms. Shannon: Well, actually, that’s my job.

Jill: Well, I beg your pardon, but I am the woman who set this whole thing in motion. So, perhaps I should be the one to end it.

Lily: Jill, what’s going on?

Amanda: There seems to be a new development in our case.

Jill: Perhaps this would be the perfect time for a break.

Ms. Shannon: After the one we

just took?

Jill: Oh. Well, I know it’s extraordinary, but how about a mini break? Okay? And then I can explain things to everyone.

Christine: We’re just returning from a recess.

Ms. Shannon: If there was a chance to avoid litigation so you could seek a mutually beneficial outcome, you should have done it before you started arbitration.

Jill: You know what? You are absolutely right. Devon, lily, this is urgent. And this could change the future for all of us. – It’s the birthday girl! – Let’s invite jacques

Devon: I mean, I’m willing to listen, so what do you have to say, jill?

Jill: Why don’t we discuss this elsewhere, somewhere more casual, a little more friendly?

Lily: [ Sighs ] Okay. Where do you want to go?

Devon: Hang on a second. Just — can you tell us what this is about, please?

Christine: If I could just have a few words with my client?

Amanda: Yeah. Lily, let’s discuss what our next steps should be.

Jill: I want to thank you so much, both of you, for your long hours and your expertise. And as much as I love you, at this juncture, your work is no longer required.

Christine: This is where i have to object.

Jill: Christine, this is all off the record. Nobody’s gonna strong-arm anybody. I’m not gonna brainwash devon into handing over the keys to the kingdom.

Amanda: Jill, are you sure about this?

Jill: I would bet my company on it. You two, what do you say we give this one more try without the attorneys? Oh, come on. If it doesn’t work out, we can get the arbitrator back, and this complete stranger can decide your futures for you. It’s up to you.

Devon: I — yeah. Okay. Sure. Sure.

Christine: Devon.

Devon: I want to hear what she has to say, so… I’ll fill you in at the gala tonight.

Jill: Thanks, christine. I’ll see you at the party later.

Christine: Alright. Good luck.

Devon: Thank you.

Jill: Okay. Shall we? I’m buying.

Devon: Yeah. Just text me where, and I’ll meet you.

Jill: Yep. Talk to you later.

Jack: I am so happy to see you. How long has it been?

Mamie: Oh, it’s been many, many years since I’ve been in genoa city.

Jack: I got your note when dina died. Thank you. That meant a lot to me.

Mamie: She was a decent woman, jack. Just not a mother. I hope you found it in your heart to forgive her.

Jack: You talked to me a lot about forgiveness back in the day. Yeah. Yeah, we found peace before dina died. I took it pretty hard. Seems like I’ve just come out of it lately. Last few months.

Mamie: Hmm. You’re in love, jackie.

Jack: Wow. You can still read me like a book.

Mamie: Diane?

Jack: Yes, diane. Oh, I want you to meet the woman she has become. She… it’s caused a few problems in the house.

Mamie: [ Laughs ] Ashley?

Jack: Of course you’d remember that.

Mamie: I just know a thing or two about loving somebody not everyone cares for. But that does not matter. You are in love and you’re happy. And I can see that. Now, that’s all that matters.

Diane: I hope I didn’t keep you waiting long.

Kyle: Oh, not a problem. You’ve been busy, a lot on your hands.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Literally.

Kyle: You must be looking forward to tonight.

Diane: I am.

Kyle: It’ll be nice to go out knowing stark is still overseas.

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

Kyle: He’s back?

Diane: He never even left.

Kyle: You’ve got to be kidding me. Phyllis said that he —

Diane: Well, phyllis says a lot of things.

Kyle: No. I checked. He chartered a jet.

Diane: It was just a carefully planned scheme to get jack and I back home.

Kyle: Phyllis?

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: Really? She knows how dangerous that man is.

Diane: Well, and guess who i saw today with the never-even-left stark. None other than your mother-in-law.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Diane: What are you doing?

Kyle: Letting summer know we have more irrefutable proof that her mother has teamed up with a monster.

Phyllis: You’re confident? So, let me get this straight. You think you’re just gonna walk into the party and then walk out and no one’s gonna be the wiser?

Jeremy: There’s nothing to worry about. It’s what I do.

Phyllis: I have a lot on the line here.

Jeremy: Okay. I’ll be keeping a careful eye on you behind the mask.

Phyllis: Okay. If any element of this plan goes awry —

Jeremy: I am aware that things need to happen with clockwork precision. And it will.

Phyllis: This is life or death for me.

Jeremy: Okay, we are both taking huge risks here, okay? And I’m not going back to prison.

[ Cellphone pings ] Who’s that?

Phyllis: [ Voice breaking ] It’s my daughter.

Jeremy: Hey. What’s going on? Are you having a change of heart? I’m not a doctor.

“The young and the restless”

Devon: Amanda. I bet you had a lot of fun today going after me and tearing me down in front of everyone, didn’t you?

Amanda: If you think that, you can add me to the long list of things that you will never understand.

Devon: Well, did i misunderstand when you said that watching me fail was one of the perks of your job?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] You know, every time I had to point out your flaws, highlight your shortcomings, put your lack of loyalty on display, it was a painful reminder of the pain that you caused me because I failed at choosing a good man, one that would respect me and love me and not humiliate me in such a hurtful way. I mean, abby. Abby, of all people. You know, I have to admit, i never saw that coming. And cheating? I remembered how broken you were when elena cheated on you with nate. I helped you pick up the pieces, remember? I thought you didn’t give your heart so easily to anyone. But here we are. So, no, devon, I take no pleasure in any of this. I hate remembering how deeply you hurt me. You know, I really — I thought you were a good man. So, I’m thankful now because I know the truth.

Diane: Jack said the security detail is still in place. You’ve got coverage at home, at work —

Kyle: No, no matter where stark is, he is a danger to us all. We have to figure out a way to get rid of him.

Diane: You sound like your father.

Kyle: We both want what’s best for you. Thanks for letting me know.

Diane: Yeah, and there’s something else I’d like to talk to you about.

Kyle: The engagement.

Diane: I was wondering if you’d given any more thought to the fact that your parents are finally getting married.

Kyle: Maybe we should discuss this together, the three of us, so there’s no misunderstandings.

Mamie: So, you’re living in this big place all by yourself?

Jack: Uh, not exactly. Ashley is living here with her husband, cole, and, uh…diane.

Mamie: Diane?

That diane?

Jack: One and the same.

Mamie: You married her.

Jack: Uh, we’re thinking about it.

Mamie: Well, congratulations. I guess.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Well, ashley’s probably happy as a clam that you’re about to marry diane, isn’t she?

Jack: Oh, yeah, she — she’s just thrilled. I was hoping I could get them to sign a peace treaty, but that doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.

Mamie: Sounds like fun.

Jack: Oh, yeah, it’s a regular barrel of monkeys, mame.

Billy: Hey, jack! You get my voicemail? Let’s talk!

Mamie: [ Gasps ]

Billy: Mamie? Oh, my goodness, mamie.

Mamie: Billy abbott, look at you, all grown up! You have your father’s eyes.

Billy: Oh, my goodness. Come here. It is so great to see you. Everyone is gonna be thrilled that you are here.

Mamie: Like your mother?

Billy: She’ll be pretty far down that list.

Mamie: Mm. How is she?

Billy: She is about the same as she’s always been.

Mamie: Mnh, that’s too bad.

Billy: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Mamie, your room is ready. If you need anything else, you let me know. The place is yours.

Mamie: Thanks, jackie. I can manage.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Wow. It feels like home.

Billy: Did you know this was happening?

Jack: I had no idea. She just showed up. She’s here for the gala.

Billy: Well, finally a reason to go to the gala.

Jack: Is the purpose of your visit — does it have anything to do with my job offer?

Billy: Yes, it does, jack. Put me in. I’m ready.

Jack: Wait. At jabot? Are you serious? I know you left chancellor-winters to get away from the business world.

Billy: Yeah, I know, but I’ve been — been thinking a lot about this, and, uh, it feels like the right time. You know, with everything that I’ve seen and everything that I’ve learned, I actually think I’ll do the old man proud this time around. You know, mamie says I have his eyes, so I feel like that’s a good start.

Jack: There has been a change in you. I think it has something to do with hanging around chelsea.

Billy: Why do you say that?

Jack: I don’t know. You’re more mature, more centered, more thoughtful.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe I finally figured out what I want to do when i grow up.

Jack: Oh, no, no, no, no, don’t pass over this with a joke. I mean it. You feel like you’ve changed?

Billy: I don’t know. You know, I’ve shared a little bit with you about everything that chelsea has been going through with her anxiety and her depression, you know? She’s been through hell, and I’ve been beside her the whole way. And, uh, you see something like that up close, the real life and death of it, you quickly realize that if it doesn’t destroy you, it makes you stronger. And I hope that chelsea and i both come out on the right side of that.

Jack: I could not be happier for you — or for me!

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Everything that you’ve been through — and you’ve been through a lot…

Billy: Yeah.

Jack: …Brought you back to jabot. Welcome home, billy.

Billy: You have no idea how much that means to me.

[ Hand pats ]

Jeremy: That text must have disturbed you because you haven’t answered my question. Are you in or out?

Phyllis: [ Sniffles, sighs ] If we go through with this… my entire life will change. Every day will be about keeping this secret, the biggest secret I’ve ever kept in my life.

Jeremy: Now you’re incapable of telling a few lies?

Phyllis: Not like this. This is next-level.

Jeremy: Now, if you can’t go through with this, tell me now because this is your final chance to call it off.

Phyllis: Uh, I have to go. Relapsing ms isn’t the only thing I have going on.

Lily: Jill, we have been through hell the past few months, and you can just make everything go away?

Jill: Oh, not everything. Some things I’ll leave up to you. But I can’t tell you how happy i was to learn that the arbitrator had not made her decision yet.

Lily: Yeah, well, things were actually going really well for our side.

Jill: Yeah, I got that impression. And you’re welcome to go back there, but not until you’ve heard me out.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay.

Devon: Did I miss anything?

Jill: No, you’re right on time.

Devon: Alright. Well, what is this about, jill?

Jill: I’ve reached a decision — mutually beneficial.

Diane: I’ll be the judge of that.

Lily: Okay, a decision? I mean, shouldn’t we talk about this before we bring it to the other side?

Jill: When you hear what i have to say, there won’t be any more sides.

Devon: Well, let’s hear what you have to say.

Jill: Okay. The ipo is dead. We’re not going forward with it. The company will remain a private entity.

Lily: Um… [ Laughs ] What? You just changed your mind, just like that?

Jill: Just like that. Yes. And since your sticking point was going public, I hope you’ll change your mind just like that. And then maybe the two of you can find a way to be a family again.

Billy: So, I got some thoughts, some ideas about new directions that we can take this thing.

Jack: Uh, write them down, okay? I definitely want to talk about them, just not tonight. There are too many things going on tonight.

Billy: Okay. What — what is going on? You look like you got something up your sleeve.

Jack: I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.

Billy: Oh, yeah? You might want to turn down the wattage of that smile a little bit.

[ Door closes ] Okay. I’m gonna take off. I’ll let you all get ready. Thank you again.

Jack: Thank you.

Billy: I will see you all tonight.

Diane: Yeah. Bye, billy.

Kyle: See you later.

[ Door opens ]

Jack: So, that thing you had to take care of was seeing kyle?

Diane: Yes. I wanted to find out how he feels about our engagement.

Jack: And?

Kyle: I wanted to speak to both of you at the same time.

Jack: By all means, speak from the heart.

Phyllis: Hey, summer. I got your text, obviously.

Summer: You got here fast.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, of course. The last conversation was tense. Everything is tense between us. I hate it that we can’t talk anymore.

Summer: It was pretty unforgettable, right? That last conversation?

Phyllis: Was it?

Summer: Yeah. You were warning me and kyle that jeremy stark was off to europe to track down jack and diane. But guess where he really was. He was right here in town. Pretty sure he never left. And I don’t want to hear any more excuses from you. I just have one question. Even with our relationship on the verge of total destruction, did you seriously lie straight to my face? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Daniel: Chelsea, it is an honor to be working with you. I mean it. You know, we’ve both been on some rocky roads. Life has thrown us some curve balls. But, you know, it’s those adventures that take us off the path. Those are the ones that help us learn and grow and get stronger and maybe help a few people along the way.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, thank you, daniel.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] You want to thank me, you can thank me by designing a world that no one’s ever imagined before.

Daniel: See you later.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hi!

Billy: Wow, that smile can’t be all for me.

Chelsea: It’s all me!

Billy: Let me guess. Daniel’s omega sphere?

Chelsea: I am a world maker.

Billy: One day it dresses, the next day it’s the universe. That is a hell of a trajectory.

Chelsea: I know! What can I say? Well, what about you? You look like you just won the lottery.

Billy: I think I may have. I’m going back to jabot.

Chelsea: Aww, where you belong.

Billy: Yeah. You know what they say about going home, even if it is the prison I spent half my life trying to escape. How did we go from barely employable to movers and shakers again?

Chelsea: We finally found where we’re meant to be.

Billy: Mm. Think we can handle it?

Chelsea: I do. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. I truly think that things are gonna be great for both of us.

Jill: Okay, um, I know that this is a lot to take in all at once.

Devon: Yeah, it really is. But I would like to ask you how you expect us all to work together again after everything that she said.

Lily: Sorry. Everything that I said?

Devon: Yes.

Lily: Devon, I wasn’t in a vacuum. You had some choice words to say to me, too.

Devon: Okay. How about after everything you’ve done?

Lily: What have I done? What, I had the audacity to hold you to a contract? You’re right. I’m very childish.

Devon: No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about stabbing me in the back.

Lily: Oh, my god.

Devon: And hiring my ex. You hired amanda.

Lily: Right.

Devon: And how about the way you have a problem with how i grieve or honor our father?

Lily: Oh, here we go. Because everything I do revolves around your feelings. You are so selfish.

Jill: Stop it. Stop it, both of you! We cannot continue to let everything fall apart this way. It is breaking my heart. This is our work. We are family. It’s our world. God, I wish I had a time machine so I go back to before I made this ipo an issue.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Yeah, so do I.

Devon: We can’t, though, jill.

Jill: Well, then what is gonna happen if we can’t forgive each other and learn to work together?

Devon: I don’t see a way that I could ever do that.

Phyllis: I hope you never know what it’s like for your child to turn their back on you.

Summer: You joined forces with a dangerous felon.

Phyllis: Really? Where’d you hear that? Oh. Diane, right?

Summer: [ Scoffs ] But you are working with stark. Right, mom? Aren’t you? I don’t even know who you are anymore.

Phyllis: I am your mother. That’s who I am. Your mother. I would do anything in this world to keep you protected and safe.

Summer: So you use me to deliver your lies so that you and stark can get revenge on kyle’s mom.

Phyllis: To protect you.

Summer: By putting me in harm’s way?

Phyllis: Everything that I do for you, every single thing that I do for you, summer, is because I love you and I want to keep you safe and protected.

Summer: This isn’t love. This is traumatizing. You are hurting me and everyone that I love. So, I need you to stop or I need you gone before someone gets really hurt.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: Whatever you have to say, whatever your feelings are about our relationship, your mother and I want to hear it.

Kyle: I’ve been thinking a lot about this, about your history, together and apart, and what your decision means for everyone in your lives and how this will affect our future.

Diane: I know. It’s — it’s — it’s a lot.

Kyle: Mm. The road to true love — it never did run smooth. You’ve had your fair share of obstacles and interferences and acts of god and poor decisions, but here you are now, ready to begin again. You love each other.

Jack: Yes, very much.

Kyle: You’ve proven that, time after time, and you’ve accepted and forgiven each other. And the circumstances of your love story are beyond extraordinary. So, who am I to stand in your way? And what more can I say but i hope you make each other very happy. You deserve it.

Diane: [ Sighs ] So, you’re okay with us getting married?

Kyle: When I think about when I was a kid, this is all I ever wanted, so of course you have my blessing.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Fantastic. Ahh!

Diane: Aww.

Kyle: Come here, mom.

Diane: Thank you.

[ Knocking on door ]

Phyllis: Oh, god. I’m in. Let’s do it. Oh, we’re gonna make this the party they never forget.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

natalie, this is thinly sourced. This is unpublishable. This is dangerously close to libel. Should ask gregory to help with it? No, you shouldn’t ask him. He’s not available to — to help you. And it’s not his job to help you. Can you please, natalie, fix this and get it back to me before it lands us in court?

[ Sighs ] Well, that wasn’t uncomfortable. Yeah, well, I don’t have time to be nice. What’s up?

[ Chuckles ] Dinner plans — you, me, port charles grill? Oh! I’m sorry. I f-forgot. I’m sorry. Well, that’s not like you. What’s up? Hi. Uh, gregory chase. I was wondering if dr. Park was available right now. And if not, I need to make an appointment with him at his earliest convenience. Well, you already have an appointment with him next month, professor chase. Yeah, I know, I know. But I’m experiencing some new symptoms, and others are worsening. Dad? Trina. How are you? I’m okay. I have no idea how to act around you. Hey, thanks for letting me stay with you and kevin, grandmother. Uncle sonny’s place is getting crowded. Yeah, we’re happy to help. We like having you and charlotte at the apartment. Yeah. And how lucky is it, too, that there’s an extra room for the baby? It’s a perfect solution to all of esme’s problems. Spencer, don’t get too far ahead of yourself here, okay? Because esme may hate this idea. Why should she? She should want what’s best for her son.

[ Footsteps approaching ] No better place than staying with his family. Laura, I-I thought we agreed that you could visit me and ace, but he can’T. I’m just gonna have a sauvignon blanc. Okay, johnny? Nina, I’m glad I found you. Has something happened to sonny?

[ Playing chords ] Working on a new song?

[ Sighs ] So far I’ve got about three verses on regret. It’s garbage. Brook lynn quartermaine does not create garbage. You’re just being nice. I’m being honest. I love your songs. I love a lot of things when it comes to you. Like spending time with you, talking to you. Really? Yeah, and I miss that, brook lynn. I miss us. I miss us, too. Then why don’t we do something about it? Chase, wait. There’s something you don’t know.

[ Sighs ] Terry. The ethics committee is still meeting? How long is it gonna take them to decide whether I can still work? Portia’s in there now speaking on your behalf. We want her to take a long time. But, really, what can she say to convince the committee that I’m not a liability to G.H. Or my patients? No one thinks you’re a liability.

[ Sighs ] Ah. It’s okay. How’d it go?


We broke up for a reason. You didn’t tell me that dante asked you to write a letter to the ccrb, and then you held off writing it until after the board made their decision. Why should you forgive that? I mean, I-I was invested in your singing career. Okay, I-I put that ahead of you wanting to be reinstated as a cop. I betrayed your trust. But you finally wrote your letter of support, and now the ccrb is reconsidering their decision. Does that mean you forgive me? It’s gonna take a long time for me to trust you again. But I’m willing to try. Are you? You just spent the afternoon with willow. That must have been hard. What does that have to do with us? Oh, let’s face it, chase. Okay, you and willow have quite the history. You’re emotionally all over the place, and now you’re — you’re coming in here, you’re wanting to take life with both hands, and — and I’m around. Whoa. You are more than just around. Okay? You are in my head constantly. I can’t stop thinking about you, about what we had. And I want it back. Don’t you? Nothing’s happened to sonny, so far as I’m aware. Is there a reason for your concern? Well, you’re the police commissioner.

[ Chuckles ] Okay? So I just — I-I just automatically thought that there was an accident, but, yes, I overreacted. You can blame it on, you know, the stress and worried about willow, everything going on in my life. And if you ask my staff at crimson and at the metro court, they’ll — they’ll all say that, you know, I’m — I’ve been on edge and I’m always thinking about the — uh, did you want to ask me something? Forget it. You seem like you have a lot on your mind. Wait. Are you on duty? No. Then order a drink. Talk to me.

[ Sighs ] It’s about curtis. I… I hoped you could tell me… is he okay? Well, for whatever it’s worth, uh, I don’t know how to act around you, either. Does that help? A little. Um, I-I still haven’t come to a decision about getting a dna test. I’ve been really busy with, like, school and stuff. You take all the time you need with school… and stuff. Thanks. I mean, it’s really weird running into you. I feel like I used to see my family all the time. And ever since the wedding, I’ve basically been by myself. How’s that been? Sometimes good. Sometimes not so great. You haven’t seen your mother since she told you the truth? Just once. But it didn’t really go well. Have you seen her? A few times. I gotta be honest — I just can’t seem to… forgive her? Me, too. The committee seemed very open-minded about my support of you. Could you tell which way they were leaning? It was very formal. They were asking me questions about your history here, so I spoke on your professionalism and how you take care with each and every one of your patients, your knowledge and skill as a nurse. And they said they’ve already spoken with finn and frida navarro. Oh, they also said that they got some letters from patrick drake, uh, robin scorpio-drake, griffin munro… and epiphany. They didn’t say they received anything from her. But my union rep said they reached out to her. Maybe epiphany hasn’t turned in her letter. Well, what is the committee gonna think? Epiphany was my mentor. In a lot of ways, she still is. If they don’t know that she supports me, I don’t see how I have a chance. It appears that several of my reporters have forgotten how to check facts and clear legal. Perhaps they are missing the calm influence and guidance of professor chase. Perhaps you are, too. Which is why I wanted him on my editorial board. But that ship has sailed. Change the subject, please. Hmm. Did you confront gregory about why he no longer teaches at pcu? Yes, I confronted him, and I sure as hell wish I didn’T. Hey, finn, I didn’t see you there. Yeah, no, the ethics committee is almost done with their meeting. I was just on my way up to see if they made a decision. Elizabeth will be glad you came. Of course. Thank you for your help. Do you still need a — uh, directions? No. No. My — my son knows the way. Yeah. It’s nice to see you, too, esme. Hi, handsome! How you doing today? I missed you.

[ Smooches ]

[ Laura chuckles ] What is he doing here? Esme, we have wonderful news for you and the baby. Really? Well, that would be a change. After careful consideration, da scorpio has agreed to drop the charges against you, esme. You’re gonna be released from spring ridge. The da could still refile the charges at a later time, but you can raise your son outside of prison. Hello! Earth to esme. Did you hear me? Uh, I did. Um… but it doesn’t matter. Why not? Because ace and i aren’t leaving. Oh, esme. Wait — ah.


Before the wedding, I felt like my mom and i could talk to each other about anything. I mean, we fought before, but she’d just tell me that it’s — it’s part of the mother/daughter contract. I just never thought she would keep a huge secret from me, that she doesn’t know if my dad is my father… or you. When me and your mother reconnected here in port charles, she promised me that there’d be no more secrets. So she blindsided me, too. What bothers me most is that she didn’t trust me. When marshall was first diagnosed, he didn’t trust that my mother could handle his illness. My brother and I, we were — we were young, and I knew he was protecting us, but… those years were lost. But you and marshall are close now, right? Yeah. But that sure is a long time without a father. At least you’re talking. Yeah, we’re talking. Trina, you have every right to be upset with your mother. I can’t help but wonder, how long are you gonna go without talking to your mom? The committee is not out to get you on a technicality. A missing letter of support from my mentor isn’t a technicality. It’s a red flag.

[ Sighs ] Isn’t epiphany on her campus visit at johns hopkins? Yes, that’s right. That’s the school that she got accepted to. She’s probably meeting with her professors, shadowing a resident. I-I mean, it makes perfect sense that she wouldn’t have a chance to write the letter for you yet. She might not even have gotten the request. Yeah, right, I didn’t even think about that. Okay, thanks. I’m gonna go grab some coffee, get some air. You want anything? I’m good, thanks. I’m fine. Keep positive thoughts, okay? Thanks.

[ Exhales sharply ] You know, as nervous as I am for myself and my future, I am so happy for epiphany. And I’m not surprised one bit that she got into johns hopkins. She’s the best nurse I know. And she’s gonna make such a great doctor. It’s really an inspiration that she had the courage to follow her dream, and now it’s coming true. Gives a person reason to hope, right? Diane: What did you find out? Did something happen at the university? I don’t think it’s my place to say. Alexis, clearly, something is upsetting you. When last we spoke about gregory, he was an asset that you wanted for the invader. You weren’t gonna take no for an answer. So is that no longer the case? It’s not about

the invader anymore. It’s about his well-being. What about his well-being? I don’t know what it is, but I think there’s something wrong. And I think… he may have a drinking problem. I mean, that might be the reason he’s no longer working at pcu. Finn: Hey, look who I found. Hi. I hope nothing serious brought you in. No, no, I just — I wanted to wish you luck with the ethics committee. I’ll be rooting for you. Well, thank you. You know, when everyone started finding out that I helped nikolas keep esme captive, I-I just assumed people would turn their backs on me. I just can’t believe how giving my friends have been. Nikolas put you in an impossible situation. And you came forward, despite the potential consequences, even after I tried to convince you otherwise. Yeah, part of me thinks I should have listened. Esme, this is

very good news. This is crazy. Esme, spring ridge is a prison. It’s not a motel. You can’t simply decide to extend your stay. I think I understand why you might be feeling nervous about this. All — all I’ve ever known is life in a hospital and — and prison. Ace and I have no — no family, no friends, no money. Wh– where are we supposed to go? Esme, you don’t have to worry. I-I’ve made arrangements for you to stay above kelly’S. It’s a local coffee shop in town. My former sister-in-law owns it, esme, and there’s a room available for you. And I’m willing to cover your rent while you find work. You would do that for me? Yes. You have a difficult transition ahead, and grandmother and I want to make sure that it’s smooth. Is that true? Is that the only reason your grandson wants to help me? Spencer wants what’s best for the baby, esme. And is there enough space for me and ace in this room? Don’t minimize what I did. I was selfish. I didn’t want you returning to the pcpd. But I realize it’s about more than that. You needed my help to take linc down so that he didn’t have the power to harass or control any other artist. Blaze only puts up with him because she didn’t want him to ruin her career, as do other singer/songwriters that he manages. He had to be stopped. You wanted to protect the other women so that linc didn’t mess with their heads or destroy their self-confidence. And that is brave, brook lynn. Chase, you are so wrong about me.


Do you have any proof thatgregory has a drinking problem or that the pcu fired him because of it? No. It’s just that I-I ran into him at the metro court, and he was slurring his words. He was stumbling. He was using the wall to hold himself up. Maybe he’d been overserved. That’s been known to happen. It was 11:00 in the morning, and the bartender hadn’t served him anything. Well, then, he probably wasn’t drunk. Maybe he came in that way. Okay, clearly, you are worried. I get it. But one unsteady morning does not an alcoholic make. It’s the culmination of things. He’s been hiding something really important from me for months. He lost his job at pcu, and then he’s — he’s wobbly at 11:00 in the morning? Counselor, you are engaging in wild speculation. There could be a thousand reasons, a thousand explanations. But if you are right and he does have a drinking problem, you are uniquely qualified to help him. Who knows better than me, right? Nobody. But now the question is, is gregory going to confide in you, considering he knows you went behind his back, contacted the dean at pcu to check up on him? Yeah, good chance gregory is never gonna confide in me about anything ever again. Which is why I’m wondering if I should reach out to someone else who can help him. You did the right thing. You did the honorable thing. I regret trying to talk you out of it.

[ Sighs ] You weren’t the only one. Scott thought I was crazy. But once I decided to go through with it, I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. And, honestly, no matter what happens, it’s better than carrying around a guilty secret.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. The ethics committee is ready for me. I got you. Okay. Okay. Oh, there’s a particularly anxious patient I want to check on. I want to make sure mrs. Walsh is good to go in the event I don’t work here anymore. It’s not gonna come to that. Here’s hoping. Don’t worry, son. Elizabeth will be fine. I mean, look at her — confident, composed, thinking about her patients, even now. Yeah. Yeah, that’s her. You know, but, dad, there’s a part of me that wants to rush into that conference room again and continue to defend her. You don’t think elizabeth would appreciate it? I think she would think I was being overprotective, so I’m doing something different this time. What’s that? Listening. Listening to her. Following her lead. Obstinance was always a dominant trait in our family. You’re proving that change is possible.

[ Chuckles ] I’m trying. Too early to determine the results. Esme, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Okay? We’re just here making the offer so you can have the opportunity to build a life for yourself and for your child. By sticking me and ace in a room above some coffee shop? No, unfortunately, there isn’t enough space for both you and the baby, but that’s okay because he can stay with grandmother and myself just while you get settled. You are not separating me from my baby. Esme, no, I just want what’s best for my brother. You understand that? No, no, no. Y-you’re not gonna take my baby away from me. There we go.

[ Stammers ] Losing your memory has not changed you much. What does that mean? It means that the old esme put her own desires and self-interest above everything else. And now here we are, hand in hand, trying to offer you help and support. And having just admitted you have zero resources of your own, you’re shoving it away. You’re putting your own desires and self-interest above everyone else’s, including your own son’s right now. I want to be with you, chase. I didn’t know you can miss someone as much as I’ve missed you. I just want to run into your arms and have you hold me forever. Then why can’t you? I’m not brave, chase. Far from it. And I’d be lying to let you think that I was. What are you talking about?

[ Sighs ] Do you remember I agreed to write a dozen commercial jingles for linc in exchange for him giving me my original songs back? Yes. Never happened. But you got your songs back. Because I signed a non-disclosure agreement. I can’t talk about what linc did to me. And if blaze or some other woman comes forward, I can’t corroborate what they say. I sold out. Well, curtis is still processing what happened to him. You know, he went from being very, very angry to very, very angry and sad. You haven’t been in touch with him? Has tj? I don’t know about tj, but I have been trying to stay away from curtis. Before the wedding, I suspected he might be trina’s father. And you didn’t tell him? I admitted I knew when he confronted me after the wedding. But before then… I was told it wasn’t my place. By whom? Portia. She accused me of meddling in their relationship so I could get curtis back. Well, portia put you in a terrible position. Well, by not saying anything, I did the one thing that destroyed our marriage. I kept another secret from him. But this time, you didn’t have the responsibility to tell him. Your marriage was over for, what, two years? You moved on, jordan. You have moved on from curtis, haven’t you? I can’t even think about forgiving my mom. I’m not saying you gotta forgive her. Hell, in my experience, I know it’s not that simple. I’m still angry at the years I lost away from my father. But at the same time, I’m so thankful for the time that we have together. Marshall and i are stronger because we were able to overcome the distance between us. I can’t believe you’re the one saying this.

[ Laughs ] I can’t believe I’m the one saying this, either. Look, I wanted to be with your mother because… I loved her, but I also loved and wanted to be a part of her family. Despite the grief I-I gave you… I wanted you to be part of my family, too.

[ Sighs ] Trina, do not let what happened come between you and your mom.

[ Footsteps approaching ]


Trina: Mom!

[ Sighs ] I didn’t want to interrupt you two. I know you must have a lot to talk about. Um… uh, this wasn’t planned. We just ran into each other and started talking. I’m glad. I hope the same can be true for — for you and me. Now’s not a good time. I, um… I have to go. Yeah, but, trina, you haven’t ordered. Yeah, um, spencer — he just, um, texted me, so I told him I’d go meet him. Bye.

[ Sighs ] Well, I came to grab some coffee. It’s gonna be a really long night tonight at the hospital. Well, I hope that coffee helps. How’s, uh, marshall doing? Um… I know he was so nervous about his meeting with the geneticist. How did it go? Well, I’d tell you if I could. You’ll have to ask marshall. That information’s private. Marshall is family.

We’re family. At least I hope we still are. Curtis and i are through. I’ve moved on. Mm. That means you’re dating? Moving on doesn’t mean moving on to someone else.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that’s true, but it helps. Do you know what’s been going on in port charles lately? I work 24/7. I’ll be lucky if my phone doesn’t start blowing up with more emergencies. I mean, I’d love to date my pillow, but I don’t even have time to sleep. Yeah. I think I touched a nerve, didn’t I? So you don’t want a relationship? I don’t know. The end of my marriage to curtis… I never knew I could hurt so much. What curtis and I had before things went wrong was… special, once in a lifetime, you know? I can’t imagine that I’ll ever feel that way again. I’m sorry. I may have moved on, but I still love curtis. I always will. What do you mean, tell someone about gregory? Who are you going to tell? What are you going to tell? You don’t know that gregory is dealing with an alcohol problem. He could argue that you are spreading unfounded rumor. Diane, I’m not gonna say that he was fired from pcu. Well, then what are you going to say? I’m gonna tell them that I’m worried and tell them why. I know that look. I know when you’ve made up your mind. Okay, let’s, um… let’s reschedule dinner for another night. Diane, I’m sorry I forgot. I really am. And I love you, and I appreciate your advice. My advice was to stay out of gregory’s business, but that’s gone the way of the dinosaur. He’s my friend. I know he’s a good man. I wanted him to work here not only because he is a damn good writer with a really unique point of view, but he’s my cheerleader here. He’s my supporter. He’s also my honest appraiser. He makes me better at my job here. He’s truly a good friend, and I want to do the same for him. Friends need to know when to step back. What if this were you and me? What are you talking about? What if you were witnessing me about to get hit by a car? Wouldn’t you try to protect me? I absolutely would. Especially if the situations were even remotely similar, but they’re not. And deep down, you know that. I admire your ability to embrace change I might be able to learn a thing or two from you. Oh? Does this have something to do with what happened between you and alexis? No, no. That’s a relationship that can’t be salvaged. I may be obstinate, but… alexis takes it to a whole other level. Woman will do anything to get her way. Oh.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Something wrong?

[ Ringing continues ] Well, in the spirit of full disclosure, speak of the devil. Do you even know how to take care of a newborn? Have you ever fed a baby? Changed one? Rocked him to sleep? If you had, you wouldn’t dare suggest that a mother be separated from her infant child. We don’t want to separate you from your child, esme. All I’m saying, honey, is that I think when you’re released from spring ridge, you’re gonna find out very quickly how hard it is to take care of a baby all by yourself. Um… it’s okay, hon. We want to support you. We do. That’s why we came here today to make this offer. But I think what we should have done is include you in the planning. So, look, let’s do that right now, okay? You tell me — how can we best support you and ace? Tell us what you need. You’re not gonna like it. At all.


Why is alexis calling you? I don’t know. Uh, been friends a long — long time. Um, it might not — it might not even be about you. Yeah, you’re right. I jumped to a conclusion. Listen, I-I’ll let alexis know I’m not taking sides. Unless that’s what you want. No, no, no. We’re all grown-ups here. There’s no reason to act like children in the schoolyard.

[ Sighs ] Listen, I’m gonna go. Uh… let me know how it goes with elizabeth. Yeah, I’ll, uh… I’ll see you, dad. I don’t have answers for you. I wish I did. But what happened between us is still too fresh and so painful. I haven’t been able to face aunt stella either. I’m so sorry to hear that. But, curtis, whether you like it or not, we’re married. And don’t you think that we should try to work this out together? I am so sorry that I hid the truth from you. But I’m just not really sure that distance is the answer here. Maybe we could, um… maybe we could try counseling. You don’t get to set the terms. You lied to me over and over again. What do you think? I’m just gonna walk into some therapist’s office and say, “give me communication strategies”? Then I’ll wait. Curtis, I’ll do whatever it takes, whatever you want me to do. Whatever you want me to do to earn your trust back is what I’ll do. But I want to fight. I want to fight for our marriage. But if what you’re telling me is that it’s hopeless and there’s no chance for us, then I’ll listen. Is there hope for us, curtis? I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Is it? Curtis. Just tell me if our love for one another is strong enough to get us through this. You still have feelings for curtis? Still? Always. But there’s a difference between love and being in love. Curtis and i were family. There’s a part of us that will always love each other, no matter what happens. That wasn’t a yes or no. Ah.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, oh, see? What did I tell you about work? I need to make a call. Okay, yeah, I have to run off, too. Jordan, if you’re worried about curtis, talk to him. I’m sure he would appreciate it. Good advice. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Elizabeth: Hi. How’d it go? Well, I think I averted a mini meltdown, so mrs. Walsh gave me this as a thank-you.

[ Chuckles ] What? I’m impressed. I’m impressed by you. And I think the committee will be, too. Do you mind telling me what you said to them? Oh, uh, yeah. Well, at first I was really, really nervous. But then I looked around the room and I realized this is about the health and safety of our patients. It’s not about me. So as clearly as I could, I explained why I helped nikolas and why I treated esme at wyndemere. You know, I’ve told the story many times. It never gets easier. But the more I tell it, the less it haunts me. Because you’re taking responsibility. On your terms, not nik’s or anyone else’S. And no matter what happens, you should be proud. You sold out? Chase, I am so — this wasn’t about stopping linc or protecting other women. This was about you getting your songs back. God, I am such an idiot. Chase, no. I — yes, it was to get my songs back, but it was also a way to get rid of linc. And for you to — to go back to being a cop. Brook lynn, would you stop? Just stop. I’m done with your excuses. I was trying to help you, give you what you wanted. If that were true, why wouldn’t you just tell me sooner?


Not that long ago, you were the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And now that trust is broken. And I don’t think our love can fix that.

[ Voice breaking ] It can. If you just give it a chance. If you just remember what we mean to each other. Cur… trina, hi. I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if the baby settled in okay. Come in. Things didn’t go exactly the way that I hoped that they would. We love our new room, don’t we, ace? Yeah. What’s that? Tell me, brook lynn, if you signed that non-disclosure agreement so that I could stop singing and I could be a cop, if you were so convinced that you were doing the right thing, that you were doing it for me, then why wouldn’t you just tell me? Why make up some story about writing advertising jingles for linc? I’ll tell you why. Because you knew I would be angry and you knew that what you did was wrong. But you were right about one thing. You’re not the person I thought you were. There you go. Much better. You addressed the issues. Legal signed off. Natalie, would you mind taking it down to rewrite? ‘Cause that story should have been run. Thanks. Um, I have your keys. You called finn. I know you’re upset. I — after I specifically asked you not to discuss what’s happening in my life with finn or chase. Thank you for your faith in me. But I’m still scared. What if I get fired? What if this is the end of my time here at general hospital? She’s here. Mm.

[ Door closes ] My part is finished. The committee’s making their decision. Scotch, neat.

[ Sighs ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: That smug bitch. Sheila nine toes living in my housem drinking my coffee.

Ridge: Why? Why are you here?

Bill: I missed you. And chen.

Ridge: You’re supposed to be in there getting information from sheila.

Bill: Ah. Thanks for reminding me. There is another reason I’m here. I finally figured out how to get sheila to confess to multiple murders. I’m gonna propose. I’m gonna ask sheila to marry me.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Lucy! Wow, dad! This is– this is an incredible surprise.

Stephen: Lucy and I were passing through on our way up north and we thought we would catch up. So much has happened since we were here last.

Lucy: Steven told me what thomas did using a voice app to make it look like you– you called cps on him?

Brooke: Yeah.

Stephen: I can’t believe ridge’s own son would sabotage his father’s marriage.

Brooke: He wanted me out of the way.

Stephen: Well, it worked, didn’t it? Ridge left you and went back to taylor.

Brooke: And they’d still be married now if it hadn’t been for steffy. She really stepped up and called her brother out.

Steffy: Yeah, I found it. I’ll get– I’ll go over the fine print and I’ll get back to you, carter, okay? Yeah, thanks.

Hope: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Hope: Um… sorry I had to run the other day, but I… I just really wanted to continue our conversation about your concerns with me and thomas. And I just want to assure you that I–

Steffy: I understand. I know what you’re about to say. But I have to tell you, I was talking to paris the other day and she reminded me about what you said not too long ago. That you were attracted to my brother.

Hope: I never said I was attracted to thomas.

Steffy: You did say my brother was hot.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. That was a comment in passing. Paris– [ Laughs ] She wouldn’t let it go. We needed to get back to work. Okay. I just don’t understand why you’re bringing that up.

Steffy: Because it is my job to know. So, are you attracted to my brother? Do you think he’s hot?

Lucy: Taylor knew and still went through with the wedding?

Brooke: She was completely swept up in the moment. And she only found out the truth right before the ceremony. She was going to tell ridge after. So, I don’t blame her. The dynamics between the three of us were completely different back then.

Stephen: What I don’t understand is how it even got that far. Why didn’t ridge tell you why he was upset? Why didn’t he fight for your marriage?

Ridge: All right, chen, it’s over. We gotta pull him out. He’s lost his marbles. You’re gonna propose to sheila?

Bill: I am. I have no intention of actually marrying that nightmare. The only reason I’m proposing to the bride of frankenstein is to get her out of my life, not keep her more entrenched.

Ridge: And you really think that sheila’s gonna buy a proposal from you?

Bill: I’m the reason that sheila’s out of prison and the only thing keeping her from going back in. She wants a permanent protector. Sheila loves me in her own warped way. Well, I can get her to confess her crimes and therefore, protect our families by showing her my total commitment. What says forever more than a marriage proposal? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. With the freestyle libre 2 system,

Stephen: I think it’s wonderful that you and taylor chose yourselves over ridge. It’s not easy to break free of old patterns.

Brooke: We realized we have a lot more in common than just ridge. And we have a lot of fun together.

Lucy: It’s a new dawn.

Brooke: Yes, it is. And I am enjoying it.

Stephen: I wonder how ridge feels about all this.

Ridge: So you’re gonna ask sheila to marry you?

Bill: Half the battle with sheila is telling her what she desperately wants to hear or believe about herself. Which is that she is worthy of love, even though she is a murdering psycho.

Ridge: Mm-hmm, and you have convinced her that. You’re a better man than me.

Bill: Don’t be hard on yourself, you know, we all have our gifts. Yours is sewing and mine is clearly being sort of a, you know, undercover james bond.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. Way undercover. Anyway, listen, all the– all the accolades you have, you’ve deserved, so good.

Bill: The truth is that I am really run out of my patience and every time that– that that thing touches me, I want to be disinfected by a hazmat crew.

Ridge: Yeesh.

Bill: Sheila needs to go back to prison where she belongs. Families and all of our loved ones can be safe and not have to look over their shoulders anymore.

Ridge: You’re doing a good thing.

Bill: It’s the only thing.

Ridge: All right. Let’s get it done because I would like to get back to my life such as it is.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: So when are you proposing?

Bill: Today. I’m gonna get the ring on my way home. I’m gonna slip it on her finger and that will open the door to her deepest, darkest secrets. I’ll get a confession one way or another. And then we’ll trade that ring for a pair of bracelets. Wish me luck.

Ridge: You know what? Sheila spencer has a really nice sound to it.

Bill: Comedy is also not your gift. Sewing. Stick to sewing.

Ridge: I wasn’t kidding, chen.

Hope: I am confused. Steffi, why are you asking if I think thomas is hot?

Steffy: I’m trying to save hope for the future and it is my job to make sure that happens. You and thomas are gonna be working very closely together and it’s gonna be intense. You’re gonna be bouncing ideas off of each other, inspiring each other, being swept up in the moment.

Hope: Are you asking this for me or for thomas?

Steffy: I already talked to thomas about it.

Hope: What, seriously?

Steffy: I just want to make sure that there was no issue. He assured me there isn’T. My brother is making significant changes in his life and I know he’s not obsessed with you anymore.

Hope: Okay, good. I’m– I’m thrilled for him, but steffy, I’m– I’m married and I am fully committed to liam.

Steffy: I get that. I’m not questioning that.

Hope: Okay. So then where is this coming from?

Steffy: I just want you to be honest and realistic with yourself and your attraction to thomas.

Bill: You’re what I need. I love you, sheila.

[ Indistinct radio chatter ]

Ridge: Well, this could get real interesting real fast.

Chen: We’re set up for all of it.

Bill: Hey!

Sheila: Hey! There he is.

Bill: Did you miss me?

Sheila: Always.

[ Laughs ] Where’d you disappear to?

Bill: Well, just because I’ve shared all of me with you doesn’t mean I don’t still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

Sheila: [ Laughs ] Oh. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Stephen: You and taylor being friends is a– a twist no one could see coming. I bet you ridge is the most surprised of all. Especially since the two of you sent him packing.

Brooke: I wouldn’t call it that. Taylor and I both have children with ridge. So he’s going to be in our lives forever.

Stephen: There’s so much going on. Some good, some… horrifying like sheila carter still being on the loose thanks to bill spencer? And, where’s ridge? Off somewhere licking his wounds instead of being here to protect his family.

Brooke: In all fairness, I’m the one who told ridge to go away and figure out what he wants out of us.

Stephen: And he doesn’t know how to cut a trip short? I’m gonna give him a call. Give him a piece of my mind.

Brooke: Oh, dad! Come on. That’s not necessary.

[ Phone ringing ]

Bill: Could I make myself any clearer?

Ridge: It’s my ex father-in-law. Steve, hey, what’s up?

Stephen: I’m here in L.A. With brooke and you’re nowhere to be seen. Leaving your family alone at a time like this.

Ridge: All right. You– you gotta forgive me. I don’t mean to be rude, but I got a lot on my plate, so this is not a good time.

Stephen: You do remember that sheila carter is a dangerous woman, don’t you?

Ridge: I’m well aware of the sheila carter situation. Yes.

Stephen: Well, that’s not gonna help, is it? If she corners somebody else in an alley at gunpoint.

Ridge: Stephen, this is not a brush off but I gotta go.

Stephen: My daughter deserves better from you.

Ridge: I will do everything in my power to keep the people I love safe. All right? I gotta go. What did bill say?

Bill: Do you know what a difference you have made in my life? Hey, I used to dread walking through that door into this big empty house. Nobody here to greet me with a– with a smile, with a– with a touch. Nobody to welcome me home.

[ Sheila laughs ] But now you’re here for me and only me. You said that I gave you a second chance.

Sheila: You did.

Bill: Well, you’ve done the same for me. My beautiful, incomparable sheila. I love you. Remember that night that we met on the beach and how– how quickly and– and intensely we connected?

Sheila: Yeah. I’ll– I’ll never forget.

Bill: Well, I’ve been proving myself to you ever since. I told you I wouldn’t let you go back to prison and you haven’T. I moved you into my home. I distanced myself from my loved ones, from my family. I stood by you. I defended you.

Sheila: You put everything on the line for me and I am– I– I– I get choked up when I think about it, but…

Bill: What? You can tell me.

Sheila: Okay, well, I’ve– you tell me you love me.

Bill: Yeah.

Sheila: And that you opened up to me. But I’ve got to be honest, there are times that I really– I just don’t know what you’re thinking.

[ Bill laughs ]

Bill: Well, I feel the same way about you. And– and you’re right. I mean, yeah, you know, you’re right. I can, at times, I can be a bit withdrawn. That’s just my nature. Come on now. I mean, I have been incredibly open with you. And I want you to be the same with me. But I know you’re not there yet. You still– you– you hold things very close to the vest. Dark things that frighten you and that– that shame you. I don’t want there to be any barriers between us. I want you to be able to talk to me about anything and know that I’m not going to judge you. You can express whatever it might be about your past and I will never leave you. My commitment is 100% and I want you to know that.

Sheila: I do.

Bill: Wow. Those are just words though, aren’t they? I think you need actions to unlock that box that you have kept hidden away for so long. You know what? I think I have the key.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Bill: I mean that I’m going to show you that you can believe in me. And you can believe in our life together. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Hope: Okay. I don’t– I don’t know what you want me to say here. Uh– okay fine. Is thomas attractive? Yes. Sure. And I bet plenty of other women in this office would agree. But I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that you aren’t questioning them.

Steffy: They don’t share a child with thomas or have a complicated history.

Hope: All right, but my feelings for your brother are not complicated. They are very straightforward, which is that I needed him to help save my line. So I agreed to work with him and that is as far as it goes. Does that answer your question?

Steffy: Look, I’m just looking out for you and thomas.

Hope: And I appreciate that, but I am telling you there is no reason to be concerned.

Stephen: Ridge practically hung up in my face. What the hell is wrong with him?

Lucy: What did he say when you mentioned how dangerous sheila is?

Stephen: He’s fully aware of the situation. Whatever that means. Where is he exactly?

Brooke: He is taking some much needed time away. And I encouraged him to do so, dad. He did say he’s doing something very important, not only for him but for the entire family.

Stephen: And what does that mean?

Brooke: I’m not sure. But I do know that he loves us very much and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for our family.

Bill: I’d given up on ever finding–

Chen: I love a good proposal. Think she’ll cry?

Ridge: Bill might. Come on, spencer. Pop the question. We’re all waiting on you.

Bill: Well, I vowed no more. Dollar bill spencer was giving up on love. And then you came along. I went to the beach that night feeling pathetically sorry for myself. So down and so depressed. And then I left feeling like the luckiest man on the planet. I mean, who could have ever predicted that?

Sheila: I have a new life. I– I have the life of freedom because you put everything on the line for me.

Bill: And I would do it all again because you’re worth it. We’re worth it. People say there’s no future for us. Well, I don’t think they know what the hell they’re talking about because I see our future, and I know exactly where you belong.

Ridge: Can you please stop messing around and take the ring out and put it on her finger? What is he doing?

Sheila: Where do I belong, bill?

Bill: Right here. In this house by my side. Forever.

Sheila: Forever?

Bill: Forever. You’ve changed my life in so many ways and I want to do the same for you. Permanently.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: What are you saying?

Bill: Well, this pales in comparison to your beauty, but it was the best I could do. Please take this ring and wear it as a token of my unabiding love for you.

Sheila: Oh, my god, it’s– it’s gorgeous. I’ve– I’ve never seen anything like it.

Bill: Well, I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve. Now, please make me happier than I have ever been and say that you will be mrs. Bill spencer. That you will be mine completely. No more secrets. No more walls. We can be… as one.

[ Sheila laughs ] Say you’ll marry me. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ooh for me. You shouldn’t have, I didn’t. Hmm? My mistake. Just keep it. Oh, thanks boss. Man. Don’t mind if I do, I could use the boost. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Hmm. Gonna tell me you’re, don’t tell me you arrived. Digging through residential trash cans again for your. Police, after the success of Lady Whistleblowers first installment, I have tipsters lined up around the block to feed me morsels.

Finally, problem now is, what do I call my groupies little ladies? Little blow spare. Bottom line, Mr. Publisher. I have more sources than I know what to do with, which should make you very happy. My little column’s gonna have the spectator back in the black in no time. Ah, from your lips to our accountants is wait.

If you weren’t out tracking down scoops to the wee small hours, what to keep you up last night? Nevermind. I have zero interest in hearing about your sex life. Oh, well it wasn’t my sex life that robbed me of my beauty. It was Gwen’s.

Oh my God.

Oh wow. You are incredible. You’re so yourself,

so no more regrets. About hooking up with me again. I mean, I know Cousin Zander isn’t too thrilled about us being friends with extremely good benefits. You know what, Zander’s opinion doesn’t matter to me anymore, and that’s the last I want talk about him.

I’d much rather talk about you. Alexus and specifically that incredible is the trick that you did with your

this true.

Good morning, Sandra. Um, would you send Alex in, please? Oh, he’s not. I see. Oh yeah, sure. Of course. Send him in instead. Thanks.

Hi. Uh oh, Greaty. It’s so good to see you. Boom. Boom. Oh my goodness. Oh. Says beautiful flowers. Thank you, Adam. C e o oh oh oh. Family business. Could not be in better hands. Oh, thank you. That’s very kind. Well, it’s true, it’s true. Although I was, I was a good surprised that granddad passed over, Alex, to put you in charge.

But yeah, I’m surprised Alex, too, especially, he’s not a happy one. Mm-hmm. , but I think he’s coming around. Speaking of Alex, he should have been here by now. We have a very important meeting this morning with a content syndicator. He’s interested in distributing digital articles from Titans Publications. Oh my gosh.

Listen to you, you, you sound like you’ve been in charge of a major conglomerate for the, I don’t know, your whole life. What can I say? Quick study. . I’m so, so proud of you. Uh, thank you, Brady. That means a lot. Well, I just hope that granddad doesn’t keep you so busy at Titan that you will not have any more time to be my sponsored a.

Just to be honest with you, this whole situation with Chloe is, it’s been, it’s been pretty tough and I’ve been struggling a little bit, Maggie. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Have you been going to meetings?

No, not lately. Nothing. Brady. I know, I know Brady. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m okay. I will go. I will. Okay.

Hello? Uh, yeah, I guess I’ll accept the charge. Who the hell’s calling me from Statesville? Hello? Hello, Chloe. It’s your old friend Kristen.

Like Sam, through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Good morning, sleepy head, . Good morning. What’s all this? Oh, it’s just breakfast in bed. Well, I can see that, but what’s the occasion? Well, it’s the first night you slept over. Thought that was worth celebrating

and.

I wanted to say thank you for what? For, for giving me, for opening my big mouth to Leo.

Well, aren’t you the least bit curious who Gwen was hooking up with last night? Couldn’t care less. Well, if you don’t care, then you want my knowing. Leo, it was your smoking hot cousin, Alex.

Oh my God.

Well,

I put two into shame actually all day’s. Word, me, millennium. Speaking of work, I think I gotta get going baby. Got a big morning meeting at Titan and the old boss lady is gonna kick my ass. If I show a blade enough, I take a quick shower

actually. Plus

we have that shower together.

Damn good plan. Mm-hmm. tricks.

What do you want, Kristen? Oh, is that any way to talk to your future sister-in-law? Oh wait, actually you’re nothing to me and never will be. Now that Stephan has come to his sensors and dumped your pathetic ass, he didn’t come to his senses. You psycho. He was deprogrammed or do you not remember your little brainwashing scheme with Lee and Rolf?

God, you call me pathetic. You were so desperate to keep me and Brady apart that you. You know what? I don’t have time for this. Go to hell, Chloe. Don’t you dare hang up. I have got something that you damn well need to hear.

Oh, sorry I’m late, Dawn. I’m late. . Couple minutes. You know, , I took the privilege of ordering forest. Oh, and half a grapefruit And two egg white omelets. Turkey sausage . No, no, no, no, no, no. . You’re gonna have to tell the cook. 86. The health plate. I want pancake cakes and scrambled eggs, yolks included, and bacon.

Two extra sides of it. We’re celebrating Abraham Carver and breakfast is on me. All right, well then I assume that they’ll succeeded in getting your assets unfrozen. Oh, no. If she did so much more than that, she got the whole case dismissed. Shaone, the devil herself. Peterson is out of. Forever,

Chad, we’ve been over this. I know that you were only trying to defend me. Yeah. But I should have let you deal with it and I should have never brought up your mom. Especially not to somebody like Leo. Well, like I. You were just trying to get him to back off and I shouldn’t have been so hard on you. I’m really sorry.

I’m sorry too. It was a big thing about our first fight though. Oh, what’s that? As we got to spend all night.

So there I was having just exfoliated getting ready to tuck in and watch that sexy nerd Seth Meyers. When I get an urgent text from Gwen, she was bringing Alex home and I had to scr before they got. And since a certain newspaper man barred me from crashing at the spectator offices, I ended up on one of those lumpy lounge sofas.

At the end. Side note, I need to speak with management about cleaning the furnishings. A spritz of lavender or something. I can’t believe it. I know, right? The least a five star in could do is provide appropriate accommodations for those of us displaced by their promiscuous roommates, not Alex. Him steer clear of Gwen, he didn’t listen to me.

Well, at the risk of facing the wrath of Zandy, I don’t think you’re in a position to tell two single hot people not to do what hot people do. Best present, company included. Okay, my my point is, is that you had your chance, it’s paraphrase for legal certain queen, if you were interested in said parties should put appropriate matrimonial jewelry on said party’s finger.

Right.

Well, I’ve gotta get to work. I’ll see you at the office, boss. Man,

I just really thought once this whole situation with Stephan was resolved, that Chloe and I would be fine and we’d be together and I just feel like We’re further apart than we’ve ever been. Those are Rachel. Yeah, my little girl. My beautiful big eyed. Big smiley girl. She, uh, she’s never had an unkind word to say about anybody ever up until the last couple months.

Mm. And now she des, she despises Chloe. How the hell am I supposed to handle that? Well, I don’t know. Would you like for me to talk to her? I appreciate you saying that, but I don’t think it would do any good. Mm-hmm. honestly. Kristen has done such a good job of turning her against Chloe, that anytime anyone brings up that subject, Rachel just shuts down or she goes on the attack or she has a tantrum.

Well, I wish I could say I’ve been surprised by Kristen using her own daughter in that manner, but we both know that that woman will stop at nothing to get what she wants. It’s true. The only thing she wants right now, the her, her main goal in life right now. Hmm. It is just to keep cling me apart. Go on.

What the hell do I need to hear? Well, you’ve heard it before, since you don’t seem to retain anything in that pea size brain of yours, and since Stephan dumped you for a woman who actually has a personality, meaning you’re on the market again, and I will say this for the umpteenth time. You stay the hell away from Brady.

Let’s get one thing straight. Kristin, who I choose to date is none of your damn business. Well, it is my damn business when it concerns the welfare of my daughter. Well, I’m going to say this one more time. Since you can’t seem to retain anything in that evil, twisted brain of yours, I would never do anything to hurt Rachel.

Well, you obviously not endeared yourself to her. In fact, Chloe, she can’t stand the side of. And whose fault is that? You’ve done everything in your power to turn that little girl against me. Well, I didn’t have to do much. My sweet Rachel is an excellent judge of character. Your sweet Rachel is now a little monster, and if you and Brady aren’t careful, she’s gonna grow up to become just as deranged as her mother.

That’s what I’m talking about,

You know, it’s so good to see that beautiful smile on your face again. Oh, well, you can expect to see even more these pearling whites now that we are rid of Sloane Peterson and all of her awful lies.

So, well, where’s your? You know, I’m, I’m relieved. I’m relieved that Sloan’s bogus civil case has been thrown out, but I’d be lying to say that I wasn’t concerned about her latest threat against you and Chanel. Police. Sloan Peterson has been selling wolf tickets ever since she showed her sour puss here in Salem

She’s not scar anybody anymore. The biggest mistake that we made was even given that woman one drop of our energy to feed off of. It’s time to move on. I know the perfect way to do it,

huh? Oh, who know? Who? Who are you calling? Someone more than capable of letting the citizens of Salem. Oh hell. Even the entire world know Paulina Price is back in business and better than ever.

I guess this means our first sleepover at your house is officially over. Oh, I wanna sleepover at wa. Hmm. First of many. I hope better be

it’s Paul. Paulina, good morning and it’s going to get even better, but I need you and Chad to meet me at the Pub Toronto. Okay, I will let him know. See you soon.

What’s that? We’ve been summoned to the pub pronto. Did she say why? No. What She did sound very chipper. Well, it’s one thing I know that’s not to keep Pauline apprentice. Wait. Shall,

how dare you call my daughter a monster, an innocent little girl who is heartbroken because she was separated from her mother. If anyone is a monster, Chloe, it’s you. Look, I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I lost my temper. Okay. , you pushed my buttons. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Blame it on me like everything else. It’s my fault that you finally expressed your rational hatred from my daughter.

You hurling these vicious insults at me. Damn you, Kristen. Don’t ever call me again,

Leo. Hey, uh, I didn’t see you there That much is obvious, girlfriend. Otherwise, I doubt you would’ve been calling Brady’s daughter a little monster. . Oh wait, what are you doing? Just jotting down some notes. I find it very interesting that a certain sale mite thinks another Salem’s daughter is the next Rhoda pen.

Oh, that’s the little girl from the bad seat, played by the inimitable Patty McCormack. In case you haven’t seen the movie, Leo, please, it’s clear you despise the girl for wrecking your relationship. You, you can’t print what you just overheard. Please. I’ll be seeing you Ms. Lane on the gossip page.

I had a great time last. And this morning? Mm-hmm. , how about you? Smashing?

I think we should do it again sometime. Yeah, I think we should. The rare double walking shame. Whos ashamed? I wasn’t talking to you guys. Why should I be ashamed? Well, you certainly can’t be proud, can you that you invited Salem’s most notorious manslaughter into your Becca? I hope you use protection. God knows what kind of STDs he has.

All right, that’s enough. Cause I’m a little bit curious though, Alex, what’s it like? Lapping up a heart serving of my sloppy seconds. You know, I’d really watch your mouth if I were you, mom, boy, why? What are you gonna do if I don’t? Okay, look, Alex, let’s just go. Let’s just walk away, shall we? Yes. Alexis, listen to your little playmate here before I have to teach you a lesson.

You most certainly did not learn in a prep school.

Good morning. Good morning. Holly know what so urgent. Well, I’m happy to announce a drum roll, please. Oh, please, yes.

Sloan Peterson’s frivolous lawsuit has been thrown out. Boom. What? Which means I am now once again a control of, oh my vast real estate holdings. Price. That is so great. That’s incredible news. Congratulations, . Oh yes, thank you. Thank you, . But there’ll be plenty of time for celebrating later. Right now I need SJ p R to put on a press release announcing my victory.

I want the whole world to know that if you want to mess with the best, which is me, you must be prepared to lose cause pulling the prices. One woman who never backs down from a.

Enough trust. Fun. Is that it? Hey, hey. Stop, stop, stop. Alex, you are already late for work. You should go here. Should go now. That’s okay. Excellent advice. Actually, you don’t want, aren’t he mags breaking out the rule and wrapping your knuckles, do you? No. No. Alex, peace please. Just.

Fine, we’ll call you later.

This is an over, oh, anytime, anywhere you want me to, even up that face of yours, just let me know.

What the hell is wrong with you? Me. He shoved me. Why are you doing this? You made it very, very clear that you don’t want me, so why should you care if somebody else does that? Playboy isn’t good enough for you, Gwen,

I see what this is. You, your precious. Sarah’s no longer here, so you’ll just settle for work. What did you call me Sloppy. Is that really, is that really what you’re thinking? Of course not. I was just, you know, I was just talk. Yeah. Well, you said it with a lot of conviction, didn’t you? I’m sorry. I don’t want your apologies.

You know when you told me how you felt about me, I took you at your word. You don’t see a future with me. And that’s fine, but I will be damned if your Neanderthal antics prevent me from moving on with my life. What I do with Alex is none of your bloody concern. Do you hear me? Zander?

So you just leave us the Hello? Hello?

I was surprised that you wanted to see me. Let me guess. Chloe came crying to you about our little Tiff. Tiff? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t know anything about that. I haven’t spoken to Chloe. Why would she come here to see you anyway? Oh, we talked on this new invention called the telephone. Hey, here’s something new.

Why don’t you try leaving her the hell alone? Why don’t you do that? Calm down, Brady. I merely offered my condolence suit about the end of her relationship with my brother, and she got testy and she got nasty and she called our daughter a monster Brady. Say this. I don’t wanna hear it. Of course. You don me to think I could say one bad word about your dimwitted little song.

God, I don’t even, I don’t even know why to try with you.

Is that for me?

Yeah. Yeah. This is a, this is a picture that Rachel drew for you in our.

I want something from you first.

Thanks to Chloe Lane not using her inside voice. The second installment of Lady Whistleblower is going to put the first one to shame.

All right. All right.

Who is it? It’s Chloe Lane. Ms. Lane do come in. Are you here to borrow a cup of sugar? Do you know damn well why I’m here? Oh, right, because I’m finishing up my new column to kill a songbird. The social life and death of Chloe Lane. Leo, you cannot print that column. What? What you heard was one side of a conversation.

It was taken outta context. I’m sorry you’re out of luck. I have a responsibility to my readers and they know I chant to be silenced. Please, Leo. I’m desperate. Desperate, huh? Well, that’s an interesting new wrinkle. How desperate.

This price. We are so relieved that you and Chanel can finally put this nightmare behind you. You’re here, and if I may speak for both of us, you can count on SJ p r to generate tons of positive press in any of your upcoming business ventures. Well, I’m counting on you both to do just that . In fact, Stephanie, why don’t you and I head back to the office now?

Re-up your contract to handle all my PR needs. . Uh, you boys don’t mind, do you? No. No. That’ll give Chad me a, a chance to catch up. Wow, what he said. . Well, all righty then. Okay, young lady. Let’s move it. . Alright. Let’s give this. Mm-hmm. . There you go.

I am sorry, Chloe, are you attempting to bribe a lady of the fourth estate to prevent her from printing the truth? Just take the money you bottom feeding little twerp. Do the right thing for once and keep an innocent child from getting hurt even more than she already has been. Innocent child. You mean the innocent child?

You call the little monster who’s gonna turn out like her deranged mother. That innocent child. She weren’t supposed to hear that. If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it is said tree’s, boyfriend’s daughter, not still profoundly insulted. What are you talking about? L Look what I said to Kristen was a mistake and I deeply, deeply regret it.

Haven’t you ever said anything that you wished you could have taken back? No. Regret is a waste of time and it costs us friend. God damn it. Well, if cash won’t fire your silence, then what will? Well, let’s see. I am a big fan of Basic Black’s. Latest men’s line used to work there, right? No, I do not. Oh, I hadn’t heard that.

But your bff, Nicole Walker still does. Yeah. Maybe she can hook us, assist up if you ask nicely. Okay. Yes, I will call her. Excellent. I believe it was Jeff Pulitzer who said it best? Show me the swag. The tongue won’t wa it’s a Joseph Pulitzer. You dolt. That’s what I said. Anyway, get me one of everything from the men’s collection in a size small, or am I a medium better?

Make it a S medium. You do that. Nobody has to know about your hateful outburst. My lips and my laptop will remain. Fine. Fine. Ooh,

What kinda game are you playing? Brady? You’re the one that likes games. Kristen, you love games. I’m just trying to keep one step ahead of you. Oh, what? By withholding a drawing that our daughter made from me, and people say, I’m cruel. Kristin, you can have the. As soon as you help me convince Rachel to ease up on Chloe, not a chance.

What’s one picture? Just keep it,

you know, I can, uh, I can withhold much more than just, uh, die from here. What is that supposed to mean? We know exactly what it means though, right? I want you to think of this as just a symbol. Of what you could lose. You are gonna write a letter to Rachel telling her that you no longer harbor any animosity towards Chloe, and that you are fine with Daddy and Chloe being together.

Okay? If you don’t, you are not gonna see Rachel live again.

Yeah. I need. Everything from the men’s line sent to Leo Stark at the Salem and asap. I will explain later. Medium. Yeah, I know Nicole. I really, I appreciate this. I, I, I really, really owe you on. Thank you.

What happened to you?

My, uh, cousin Alex. He smashed his smug pointy little face into my fist. And why would he do such a thing? Sleep with my ex. Oh, Sarah’s back. I’m not Sarah. Oh wait, don’t tell me you two. Were fighting over Gwen Riz check. Ugh. She’s just a slimy. As her pal Leo starts. Actually, that guy’s worse. He’s sadistic little.

I thought I could hold a grudge. You’re still pissed at Leo, I promise. Taking you down to the cleaners, huh? No, I have a much more pressing reason to hate the guy. That little vermin just blackmailed me. What’s he holding over? I’m not gonna tell you that I’ll have two people holding something over. Nah, clay, I’m not gonna do that.

Trust me, Leo works for me, but I’m not exactly his biggest fan. You know what I mean? Fine. Leo overheard me saying something negative about Brady’s daughter and now he’s threatening to publish it in his column unless I give him thousands of dollars worth of basic black merchandise.

Sorry, I’m late. You’re sorry, Alex. We are doing the conference room in five minutes and what happened to your. Sander happened. Sander, and what did you, no, you know what? Just scratch that. I don’t wanna know. I need to get to this meeting. Okay, well, let me just freshen up real quick and I’m right behind you.

Hell no. I can’t let Titan look like a gang of hooligans. Is that blood on your shirt?

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Are not going anywhere near that conference room. I’m taking this meeting alone, auntie

oh oh oh oh. And Alex, when I get back here, you and I are gonna have a serious conversation. About your future at this company,

knock.

I would go easy on the eyeshadow next time. Hmm, good call. Um, I told your assistant that I had an appointment. I hope my little fear isn’t going to get you in trouble with boss Maggie. Trust me, one, your little fib would be a drop in the bucket. As far as Maggie’s concerned, she’s already totally fed up with me.

I’m so sorry, Alex. This is all my fault. How is it your fault? When I’m the one that let Xander under my skin? I started that whole stupid fight. Yeah. But Xander targeted you because of me.

Um, you know, um, maybe we should just, you know, call it.

No way. A little bump on head is not gonna scare me off. Zander be damned. I think that we should let this ride and see what it takes us. What do you think? It’s like a plan. It sounds like a plan.

I do your makeup next time.

Oh, amazing. So it was all just delivered. Oh, thank you. Of course, Leo didn’t tip your delivery person. He’s such a stingy little creep. Nicole, thank you. I, I owe you my life. Thank. Love you. Bye. Ugh. I am off hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip column. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is saved from the lady.

What is that supposed to mean? Leo just turned in this new column, Chloe Lane Brady. Daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God. That double crossing snake Xander. After everything that Brady and I have been through, we finally had a chance at a fresh start. Now you still did. You, you tell Brady that is so alive, but it’s not.

I actually said this. I let Kristin der go me into insulting their daughter, and now when Brady sees this, I am gonna lose him forever. Oh my God. On my God.

Is this house gonna be till Rachel’s 18? A tug of war of threats back and forth. I threatened to take her away from you. You threatened to take her away from me. You made it the. I did not want it to be like this. Oh, right, right, right. Because I am always the bad guy. You are the one that stoked Rachel’s resentment of Chloe in the first place.

Okay. You have used our daughter as a weapon against the woman that I love. You are using my love for my daughter against me. You’re no better than I am, Brady.

Maybe not, but I’m the one holding the cards right now.

I will write Chloe a letter of recommendation to our daughter. Will that satisfy you?

Make it glowing,

Well, you and Stephanie seem to be getting along pretty well these days. Yeah. Yeah. Things are good. And the kids, they love her. Well, dad seems to be pretty fond of her too. I am. I don’t have to tell you how hard it is to move on after you lose the, the love of your life. No. No, you don’t. You know, I never thought I’d find in love again after I lost your sister, but Paulina.

Well, she makes me very happy. It’s obvious. . Well, it’s also obvious that Stephanie makes you feel the same way she does. Couple of lucky old dogs are we? Indeed we are. Uh, don’t think I ever noticed that satisfying little grin on your face all morning. Really? Hmm. I’ve been grinning. Or maybe it’s the twinkle in your eye.

Uh, whatever it is. , I’m guessing it’s because Chad has been lighting up your day and hopefully you are nice too. Am. . I like to remain professional and discreet, but yes, he’s been lighting up my dates and my night . Oh, I knew it. Oh, a woman. A woman can sense these things. . I’m so happy for you. After all that awfulness with.

Yeah. Yeah. That was a bad situation. Mm-hmm. . Well, you have yourself a winner now. Just like my Abraham. Oh, I’m telling you Stephanie. Oh, everything. Everything is coming up Roses for me and for.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Neil, I’m troubling you. I mean, normally I wouldn’t ask about someone else’s life, but your sadness amuses me, . I’m trying to text this girl I met at a party. It’s so much pressure. I feel like I’m gonna die. Neil picking up a pizza from Chuck E. Cheese doesn’t count as a party. . It was a real party. For my grandmother’s 90th birthday at her care home

Oh, that’s the stuff. But I did meet a very cute nurse. Her scrubs had puppies on them, so I told her I have a puppy. I’ll have to figure that out later.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Morning baby mama. Oh, I see you took down that health one sign . And I’m sorry I had to put down my foot about it. Mama left. Chanel. Chanel . No, I know you run off your feet put Allie gone. But it’s outta my hands. The court won’t let you hire anybody. Mama, you didn’t let me finish. I already did.

Mm God. I love these Brady Pub Muffins.

Mm. I’m not so sure what, I dunno. Something’s missing. Trying to figure out what it is. Brown sugar? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. How come I didn’t think of that? You know, it’d be more perfect that you had added a little bit more of a caramel note too. Caramel note, huh? Yeah. Everything else is great though. I mean, I still can’t believe you get to roll out of bed and have breakfast like this waiting for you.

What? Well, don’t get too used to it. Now that you found a job, you’re gonna have to find your own place too. I don’t plan on sharing my bed with my little sister forever. Why not? It’s not like you’re sharing it with anybody else.

Commissioner, find a house. Call come bearing documents. Still think you’re making a mistake, but uh, you want to drop the charges against Brady and Eric, you’re gonna need to sign on the dotted line. I do. Don’t come in. Okay. Look, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I enjoyed being kidnapped and worked over by a met scientist, but gotta say I can’t complain about the end.

Come. Right? Yeah. You made that clear. So why did the police commissioner find it necessary to run this errand in person? Well, actually, I’m not just here to have you sign documents. I’m also here about my sister, Gabby,

you won’t regret agreeing to take this meeting, Mr. Sax. Hmm. In fact, I’m, I’m very confident that you’ll be impressed with my wife. She’s not only a a, a brilliant businesswoman. She’s extraordinarily creative. Good morning, Mrs.

Good morning, and it’s been a very enjoyable one so far.

Oh, a text really this hour. It’s not a text. It’s an alert.

It’s an alert to let me know if there’s any job opportunities for a photo. and it’s may be covered because of you and I appreciate it, but I need to fill my daytime hours.

What a lovely way to wake up. Did you sleep well? Better than I have in. O I don’t know how long, uh, well, not having a drug-induced hangover probably helps, no doubt. You know, maybe what also helps is you and Stephan finally sitting down and hashing everything out. Yeah, about that. There’s a bit more to the story.

Hmm. We’ll film in, please. Yes, Ste and I hashed things out, but that doesn’t mean everything’s settled far from that, you see. Though my brother may not know it. I’m as committed as I am and was to taking him down

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

Stop. Stop. What? The alert. Just cancel it. Sorry. I need a job. Right. No, I get that. But not just any job. You’re incredibly talented. Eric, a wonderful photographer. So who needs a boss? Hmm? You should be your own boss. You should open up your own gallery.

I don’t understand. I mean, not that I expected you and Stefan to become best friends. I understand. Look, I said all the right things to him. But I did have my fingers crossed behind my back, as did my brother, I’m sure. And it’s obvious he wants what he’s always wanted Lee out of the way, Gabby in his life, and the two of them running the mirror, which I am not going to allow to happen, meaning I have to stop the two of them teaming up to sme.

Okay? And how are you gonna accomplish? Well, they’re forming my own team, of course, which I’ve actually already done with Lee Shin.

Mm-hmm. . I look forward to it as well. Yeah, talk soon then. Thanks. So how much did you hear? I heard your comments about me, your very effusive comments, all of them sincere. You want this deal for your fashion line to go through at Saxons, don’t you? What I, no. I haven’t even agreed to go in and pitch them and hear you her setting it up.

Well, you seem intrigued enough last night you took all the paperwork to bed with you. Just curious. That’s all. It doesn’t mean I’m ready to make a deal. It’s just an initial meeting and no one’s gonna rush you into anything. Gabby, I want you to have an outlet. This incredible creativity of yours and Saxton seems very interested, but if, if I’m being too pushy, I can always call them back and cancel the meeting.

So can I assume that Gabby living with Lee bugs the hell outta you as much as it does me. I hate it a lot. Figured as much, although I will admit, I, uh, don’t really know all the details of their arrangement considering Gabby, uh, well, she stopped confiding in me since she knows how I feel about Lee as opposed to all the warm and fuzzies you feel about me.

Well, let’s just say that he makes you look. Uh, now with that said, I hope to hell you, uh, haven’t given up on getting her away from. Oh no. Never giving up on that. You can bank on it. Good, good. Just be careful. You know, Shannon obviously already tried to pull the plug on you once. I, uh, don’t think he really likes competition.

I’m not competition shin. I’m gonna blow that son of a bitch out of the water.

A gallery. Me. Well, when I couldn’t fall asleep last night, I spent a good hour going through your portfolio. Eric, you would have no trouble filling in entire gallery’s walls, especially with those photos you took in Africa, . Now you’ve been building this whole library of images. And meanwhile, you set alerts on your phone for someone who has a 10 of your talent, hoping that they’ll dein to hire you.

Listen, I need a job, Sloan. No. What you need is to take charge of your career. You know, I appreciate your support, but I mean, God getting a gallery space, do you know what it takes? It takes money to buy the supplies, not to mention a gallery. So how am I supposed to find that I have the perfect place? It’s called Sweet Bits.

You may remember the person I hired. Her name is Talia and she is perfect for sweet bits. I remember her fine. You are the one forgetting we can Scott throwing money around Chan. Now every penny we spin is being watched by the court. Damn it, mama. I can’t believe Sloane Peterson got that judge to sign off on a plan like this.

Please tell me that bail is working on getting that freeze on our accounts reversed. Believe me, she’s trying. I mean, she’s hoping to get the whole crazy case that’s missed, but we have to be realistic. Baby girl. She’s a lawyer, not a miracle worker. Okay, well, neither am I and I can’t rent a successful bakery without any.

I need to swoop in and lock Talia down before I lose her. But what if you made this girl an unpaid intern? No. Nope. Just until the lawsuit is over. I cannot do that. Mama. She worked at one of the most successful bakeries in New York City. I mean, I have to offer her a competitive salary or else someone else in Salem is gonna snap her up in.

Now I guess you need to win the lottery.

I open my door to you, give you a place to lay your head, and this is the things I get grief about my love life. I was just joking. Really? You thought that was funny? Ugh, you’re too sensitive, Jada. And look, I’m not with anyone else either right now and it’s fine. Me and you we’re independent women, right?

We do just fine on our own. That we do. So here’s to the both of us flying solo.

So how long has it been, since what? Since that flying solo and here I thought we were dropping the subject. Fine. It’s none of my business. No, it’s. But I, I have nothing to hide. I broke up with someone a few months ago. Wow. A few months. It’s a long time. My breakup was pretty loose. I’m doing fine, Talia, and I’m sure you are.

But is there someone new on the horizon at least?

After my brother and I got honest with each other, I invited Lee over to tell him that I’m willing to join forces, and now he knows that I fully support his reconciliation with Gabby, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Okay. And what did you tell him about the situation with Stephan?

Nothing he can use against. Leon knows what I want him to know, and more importantly, Leoni heard what he’s willing to hear, and in return I got an earful. Meaning, meaning he’s cooked up some wonderful distraction for Gabby one, which she’s just made.

Don’t cancel. The meeting won’t look on either one of us if I bail now. So I’ll go in beat with sex and see what happens. I actually know what will happen. You’ll go in there and press the hell out of them. Before you know it, everyone will forget all about Gabby Sheik and your new designs will leave them in the dust.

Okay. You can dial down on the flattery. I know how good I am. Oh, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded, does it? I’m gonna go get ready for this meeting. Oh. Then I’ll make you breakfast to remember.

So Gabby might have a new fashion line through Saxon’s department stores. Department starts, right? So while Stephan’s forced to sneak around, try and statue a few stolen moments with. She’ll be going to bed every night just a few feet from the man who revived the artistic side of her career. My Gabby’s in love with Stephan, and she’s mourned him for years.

She’s never gonna be able to stay away from him. Mm. And that’s where things get interesting. Oh boy. How so? He filled me in on a very important stipulation in his and Gabby’s deal. She will get his Demir shares if she remains in the marriage for six months, but only if she remains faithful. Oh my God. The contract actually has a fidelity.

one, which I might be able to take advantage of. Aj, you’re playing a dangerous game. What if Stephan finds out what you’re doing behind his back? ? Well, I like taking risks. That’s the fun in life, isn’t it? Wouldn’t you say? Yeah, bet. I guess it depends on what that risk is. Wow. Getting involved with someone romantically.

That’s risky business, isn’t it? Since one. You can have that poor little heart. True, but it’s definitely fun nonetheless. Wouldn’t you agree? Yes.

The hell do you think you’re doing? Getting dressed. This is my bedroom. Remember living out a suitcase over here, unless of course you wanna change our sleeping agreement, invite me into your bedroom. Nice try. I’m gonna go get ready myself. Hey, listen for breakfast, um, egg white omelet with spinach butter toast, coffee, black.

Coming up.

Hello Stephan Lee. What the hell are you doing? Answering Gabby’s phone.

Uh, sweet bits. They’re going out of. Well, Chanel and Paul might not know that yet, but yes, and once I win my case against them, the space is mine. I want better use of it than for your gallery. Are you sure about this? Did it all win? No. Yes. No. No, no. But this is a good idea. Look, I get it. You don’t wanna take business away from Chanel and you won’t be, you know, that’s, that’s my job.

And believe me, I’m really looking forward to doing it. You’re just like the beneficiary. And with the cash I win from my judgment against them. I mean, hey, I can even be an investor too,

me with Brown Gallery. Oh, don’t say no because it’s Complic. Say yes because it’s thrilling.

You better get that. This maybe. About the case. Hold on, on Peterson here.

What?

God, I hated this never ending war with Sloan. Oh, believe me. Believe me. I hate it too. And you are right. This is war. That’s why we need to think strategically now. If you hire this girl, it’s gonna look like you’re trying to put one over on the court, and then the judge will penalize you and then Sloan wins

it’s bill. Well, well answer. It’s probably about the case. Hello? What

Bella are you. Oh, no, no, no. She knows right here. She’s right here with me now. Y Yeah. Okay. No, I have to call you back. Oh. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord, Lord, mama. Stop calling for the Lord and tell me what happened. Come on. What did Bell say? Mama? Mama. You’re scaring me. Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t know what we’re gonna do now that we’re gonna have all this free time since Bell got the case thrown out.

Oh, baby throw we free, which

Good morning, brave. Hi. Hi. So, uh, you enjoying your time in Salem so far? You know, I was until about 20 minutes ago when my big sister was saying I was cramping. Her style. Need to move out stack. But little does she know you have to have style to cramp first. . Please feel free to ignore her. Yeah, duly noted.

That’s, what were you guys talking about a second ago when I walked up? This seemed kind of intense. You know, it’s funny you should ask, didn’t you say you have the new Java Co too? You know, we didn’t want you to be late. Oh no, it’s. A good point. You know, now that I’m a baker, I have to get used to the early morning shifts.

Wait, wait, wait. You’re going to be working at a bakery? Mm-hmm. at Sweet Bits in Horton Town Square. You know it. That’s your new job. What’s wrong with that? Sweet Bits has the best donuts in town, and they’ll be even better now that I’m there. What’s going on? Why would you work as a baker? What’s wrong with Bakers?

Nothing. That’s your chosen field, but it isn’t yours now, is it? What am I missing here? It’s just that tie here is not a baker. She’s a doctor.

You’re a doctor? I have a medical degree, yes. Stop making it sound like you just got your learner’s permit. She got her degree from Stanford, one of the best medical schools in the country, and she graduated top 10% of her class. Top 5%. Actually, you know, you’re only proof my point, right? How is working at a baker using any of your talents?

I’m a very talented. When you said you got a job, I assumed it was at University Hospital. I thought it was always your dream to follow in daddy’s footsteps. No, it was daddy’s dream to me. Follow him into medicine. It doesn’t make it mine. But you worked so hard. Who walks away from a career like that? Me.

And you’re right. I don’t wanna be easily from my new job, so I’ll catch you guys later. Bye. Re bye. Bye, Jada.

I wonder if Chanel Dupree knows just how overqualified her new baker is.

So this means I can hire Talia or No, I already hired her. So this means now I don’t have to fire Talia . Oh, you can hire, uh, baker’s dozen of Talia if you want to. Oh, did you see what I just did there? Uhhuh. . Yeah. I, I did what? I’m just way too happy to even complain about your terrible sense of humor. , we owe Bill big time.

Oh, do we ever hold that? Brilliant woman left Sloan. Dust

I wondered how that witch is taking it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s okay. Okay. It’s okay. Please. Everything is not okay. That whole lawsuit, everything, everything relied on that, and now it’s dead in the water. They’re murderers, and they won again. Right. It was just a civil case, right? No one was going to prison. It’s about money you have. It was never about the money.

They’ve torn my family apart and they just keep getting away with it because they’re cute and cuddly and fun and everyone loves them. But me, Sloane Peterson, he’s the soest soulless ambulance chaser. God forbid I forget about my mother being pushed off of a roof to her death. She’s like, whatever happens to me, whatever I get taken from me, you know?

Oh, I deserve it.

Sorry, I’m on your side and I’m sorry if. It sound like your case was unimportant.

Is my last shot my,

can I help you? You can help me Lee, by giving Gabby her phone back. I’m afraid. My wife is a little busy right now. Doesn’t have time for Chit Chat. She’s getting dressed for a very important meeting. What meeting? If Gabby thinks it’s any of your business, I’m sure she’ll tell you. It’s just not my place.

The clock is ticking on that little six month deal you. You know what happens when time runs out? I know what will happen if you keep calling here. I also know what will happen if by some bizarre chance you actually succeed attempting her into some secret rendezvous thought of that scares you to death, doesn’t it?

It should scare Gabby to death because she fails to resist you. She’ll lose all those dememer shares and she’ll have you to thank for that because you couldn’t keep it in your pants. So do her a. Do yourself a favor and stay away from my wife, Lee. Lee.

Bitch.

Uh, is there a problem, brother?

Thanks for all your incredible work. Bell, you, you are truly a lifesaver. You don’t know how much of a relief this is to me and Chanel, oh, we are eternally grateful. . Mm-hmm. Oh, oh, you too. Bye now. Oh, what are you working on, honey? Oh, I am revising the budget for Sweet Bits with Talia on board. I’ll be able to add back some of the popular items to our menu, and thanks to Bill, I will be able to actually pay my new employee

I didn’t know that was an issue. , but I’m certainly happy that you can. Hi, Talia. Uh, this is my mother, Paul Price. Mama. This is my new employee, Talia. Oh, I am so sorry. I forgot your last name. I, I know it was on the application. Oh, it’s Hunter. Hunter? Mm-hmm. . Any relation to Detective Jada Hunter? Yeah, she’s my sister.

You know her? No, but I do know of her. My partner arrested me once.

I just don’t get it. She spent all those years in medical school just to become a baker. She’s trying to change her life, pursue her dream. Her dream was to become a doctor and she pursued that dream with a vengeance. Totally driven. Little Miss Overachiever. You heard the way she corrected me about where she graduated at Stanford.

I mean, who does that if they’re not proud of their. Well, it’s certainly something to be proud of. Exactly, but I know better than to try to sit her down and set her straight. It’d be a complete waste of breath. I wanna hear that. I mean, Garo and Gabby, they have made some curious choices over the years, despite my excellent advice.

Must be hard being right outta the time. Mm-hmm. , . And also being the older sibling, you know, we were born to be, um, ignored, disrespected, and resented, but we love those disrespectful, recent, resentful, young ones anyway, don’t we? Dearly . Yes, we do. And we will never stop trying to rescue them from themselves.

Damn right. We won’t.

Hey, will you put that omelet in a container for me? I want to eat it later, but I don’t wanna be late. Wow. Saxtons is about to be deluged with women who wanna look exactly the way you do now. I told you to tone it down on the flattery. Well, why are you dressed up? You don’t think you’re coming with me, do you?

Well, I, I I was the go-between. I, I I’m the one who told them to snatch you up. Yeah, but it’s my pitch. I can do it myself. I don’t need help with that. They are expecting both of us. That’s fine. I can just tell ’em that you’re Stephan called.

I dunno what my problem is. His name’s Lee Shin.

He just told me that Gabby was too busy to talk because she’s headed to some important business meeting, and I’m sure that creep made the whole thing up as another ploy to keep us apart. Well, maybe it wasn’t made up. What do you mean? Word on the street is Saxon’s, maybe partnering with Gabby on a new fashion line.

Word on the street. Well, yeah, I hear things at Basic Black, that’s part of my job. Well, if that were true, Gabby would’ve told me about it, and I would’ve heard first.

I can’t speak to Gabby’s willingness to share information, but if I were to guess what’s going on here, it sounds like Lee is trying to get her interested in a new business opportunity. So she loses interest in his DEMIRA shares and by extension, You. No way that’s gonna happen. Gabby loves me and she wants nothing more than to be back together.

No, Wakely distract her by waving some shiny new business opportunity in front of her face. But if she gives in to her feelings for you, she could lose her mirror shacks. How do you know about that?

You wanna ride to the station? Sure. We can talk about what a bummer it is, being the older sibling. And you can tell me what you and Talia were talking about when I walked up. I mean, it’s none of my business. It’s just what? Hmm hmm. Oh, just the look on your face is when I came. Nevermind. Oh, you know, it, it’s Sean.

Uh, you know, we’ve been trading info on the case we have, so I should probably take this. You you go ahead. I’ll drive myself. Hunter.

So you never went to culinary school? No, um, actually I had a different focus, but baking is just something I know. Do you also know that you’re talking to a couple of criminal. You think you’ve won, don’t you? Oh honey, we know we have. Well, you are wrong. I am not giving up on making YouTube bitches pay for what you’ve done.

Look, I don’t know what your problem is, but you can’t just talk to them like that. They’re my problem. This one’s a murderer and this one covered it up. Your lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of her. But you are not off the hook. You listen to me, Sloan Peterson, you have lost and you will keep on losing and losing.

So how about you’ll find something better to do with your time than trying to hurt me and my family trying to drag us a court to satisfy your sick need for revenge. When my daughter and I, we have done nothing wrong. Do you hear me? Maybe. Maybe I don’t need court to get my revenge. Ever thinking that,

so Stephan called and you didn’t think to tell me. You saw the notification before I had a chance. Uh, it was a very brief call. He asked for you and I said you were getting ready for a meeting. Needed to stay focused. Lee, I don’t need a secretary, nor do I need you answering my phone without my permission.

Well, I I, I’m sorry. I, I just, I wasn’t thinking, uh, why don’t you call him back now if you like. I mean, it might make us late for the meeting at Saxon’s, but. We can probably make up the time on the break. No, I don’t wanna be late and there’s no, we okay. It’s just me remember. Fine. Um, the only thing is they’re expecting me to, and I wouldn’t want them wondering why I didn’t show up.

That would be an unnecessary distraction, and I wouldn’t want to spoil your pitch before you even get to make it.

You’re driving.

Oh. Uh, Lee’s little sister, Wendy, she mentioned something about her morals clause in their, uh, marriage contract. Wow. Surprise Lee would share that information with her and that she would just impart that knowledge onto. Well, no one’s ever accused Wendy of discretion. Look, I’m sorry if I spoke out of tone.

I didn’t know that this clause was on a need to know basis. Either way, I, I, I don’t envy you, Stephan. It certainly is a very tricky situation. It is indeed. He’s watching us like a hawk waiting for me and Gabby to give into feelings for one another, and I, I can’t figure out a way.

Well, Stephan, maybe I can help you. How? Well, maybe, um, yeah, I can arrange for you and Gabby to meet privately. I mean, after all, Lee’s not watching.

It’s a very kind offer. What can I say? I’m, I’m a romantic at heart, and I just, I really want you and Gabby to be happy together, and since you two boys have made peace, I’m on your side as much as EJ is.

That’d be amazing. Thank you. Of course. But I, I’ll, uh, I’ll get to work and. I’ll let you know as soon as I come up with something. I’m very grateful, Nicole, and I know Gabby will be too.

Well done Oscar worthy. Now I was just following the plan. Now all we need is for Lee to catch Ste and Gabby and the act and it’s by by shares. Gabriela earned controlled D mirror. Let’s just hope Stefan makes it worth it.

Victor: Jill, there you are. How nice to see you.

Jill: Nice to see you, too.

Victor: Have a seat.

Jill: Thank you. Thank you. So you sounded like it was urgent on the phone, so I made the ranch my first stop, but I am late for the arbitration.

Victor: Oh, is that today?

Jill: Yes, victor, that is today and I’ve got to get going and I’m sure you’d like to cut to the chase anyway, yes?

Victor: Well, then, I have to say, my timing is perfect.

Victoria: Oh, I’m glad you’re here. It’s like you read my mind.

Nate: Oh, yeah?

Victoria: I was hoping to go over some budgetary issues regarding newman media’s next quarter.

Nate: Okay, well, I’m happy to do that, but I was hoping we could discuss something else first.

Victoria: Sounds like something’s bothering you. Is there anything that I can do to help?

Nate: Yeah, look, um…

Victoria: It’s fine. You can talk to me about it.

Devon: Amanda.

Amanda: Devon.

Devon: I was surprised to hear that you agreed to come back and represent chancellor-winters ’cause i figured you’d never want to see me again.

Amanda: Well, when lily reached out to me, it made perfect sense to take this case, since I was instrumental in solidifying the merger in the first place. No one knows the ins and outs better than I do.

Devon: Except for maybe me and lily.

Lily: I don’t think now is a time or place for this.

Amanda: No, no, it’s okay. See, devon, you were more about the big picture. I was the one in the trenches dotting the “I’s” and crossing the “t’S.” But I simply see this as a natural extension of what I was already doing for jill and lily.

Devon: Well, sure, but you know that sometimes a case is about more than just “I’s” and “t’s,” and it’s about right and wrong.

Amanda: I couldn’t agree more.

Devon: And about knowing the history and how much time I’ve put into a company like hamilton-winters.

Amanda: Oh, I know. Do you not remember all of the long conversations we had about neil? The fact that you are here touting your history and loyalty is a joke

Devon: Joke? So is this, like, revenge, then, for you?

Amanda: Don’t flatter yourself. I am here to win an arbitration. Having a front-row seat to watching you lose? That’s just a perk. Not flossing well?

Christine: Good morning.

Devon: Hey.

Christine: Everyone’s exchanging pleasantries. That’s nice to see. Devon, why don’t we go inside?

Devon: Sure.

Christine: If you want any shot of walking away with your company, you can’t let them get under your skin.

Devon: I — abby gave me the same advice. I know how to handle myself.

Christine: Okay, it’s just, you seem a little rattled. Clearly, that’s part of their strategy.

Devon: Maybe I’m letting them think that they’ve gotten to me.

Christine: Then you’re doing a good job.

Arbitrator: Are both sides ready to proceed?

Christine: We are, ms. Shannon.

Devon: I don’t think we are yet, as we’re missing someone important. Is jill not meant to be here?

Christine: Why don’t you let me speak on our behalf?

Amanda: Ms. Winters is here on behalf of chancellor-winters. These legal proceedings are of the utmost importance to both ms. Winters and ms. Abbott, but they still have a company to run. The massive reach of their conglomerate necessitates that someone be available at nearly all times, but I assure you ms. Abbott will be joining us as soon as she’s able to step away from her professional obligations.

Arbitrator: Very well. Then let’s begin.

[ Knock on door ]

Elena: Audra, hey. Nate around?

Audra: I think he’s in a meeting.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Let me guess, with victoria.

Audra: I believe so. Is everything okay?

Elena: Honestly, I don’t even know.

Audra: Hey, maybe we could have a chat — away from this place. You up for a cup of coffee?

Nate: I think we need to address what happened the other night.

Victoria: I thought that we were pretty clear with one another.

Nate: Saying everything is fine is one thing, but is it really? Victoria, I don’t want what happened to change our work dynamic, and I hope it doesn’t alter the trust and comfort we have with one another.

Victoria: Nate, don’t give it any more thought. Really, it bears little to no weight on my end.

Nate: I hope that’s the case.

Victoria: Look, if it would make you feel better, I will willingly admit that i overstepped, and I’ll apologize. I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.

Nate: No apologies necessary

[Chuckles] Because you wouldn’t mean in anyway.

Victoria: Excuse me?

Nate: You don’t feel like you overstepped, now, do you?

Victoria: No, I don’T.

[ Chuckles ]

Jill: Would you please stop being so cryptic? You have my attention.

Victor: Ooh, I’m being cryptic now.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, to be honest with you, I was surprised to learn that you’re willing to go to war with devon over hamilton-winters.

Jill: Why would that surprise you.

Victor: And put lily against her brother?

Jill: Look, if there had been a more amicable option, I would have taken it. You of all people know there isn’t always one. And when you’re dealing with family, things can turn very ugly.

Victor: Only too true.

Jill: I take no pleasure in this battle with them. I can already see the emotional toll it’s taking on lily and devon. But he accepted this merger with the full knowledge that I would retain the majority interest in chancellor-winters.

Victor: Right.

Jill: And as open as I am to listening to other people’s opinion, in the end, the decision’s mine, and I like the company the way it is.

Victor: You bet. Hi. I keep my home fresh with febreze fade defy plug.

Victor: Now, you must remember that I do understand that you have a certain vision for your company, as you should. You’re the decision-maker.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Let me ask you, how do you think katherine would feel? She realized you drew a very hard line with devon. I mean, devon is her grandson.

Jill: You’re playing the katherine card, aren’t you? Look, katherine had a lot of opinions, a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and most of them I did not agree with. But make no mistake, there are times when I miss her like crazy.

Victor: Yep.

Jill: What I don’t miss is when she harped at me on how to run the company all the time. She and I can discuss that in the afterlife.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s fair enough.

Jill: Just so you know, lily and I did try to come to an agreement with devon, okay? We offered him a really, really generous settlement, we offered to let him retain the hamilton-winters name, but he shot all that down. He’s trying to make some sort of a point. I don’t think it can be made in the time he has left. The trouble is, he’s playing with a really weak hand. I mean, he’s got the emotion and the sentiment, but he has no legal standing.

Victor: Yeah, you’re correct about all of that, I think. However, I think your personal relationship with him is going to suffer some damage, and that would be a shame, you know? I mean, I asked you to come here knowing full well what the complications can be, but instead of a lawsuit and all those legal entanglements and hostilities, I’m willing to offer you an alternative.

Christine: Hamilton-winters was founded on one core principle — family. Created by neil winters and his son devon, it was the culmination of familial love and devotion. Neil and his wife, drew, adopted devon when he was a teenager and brought them into their loving home and helped mold him into the successful man he is today. The company they started and built, grew was and continues to be a shining symbol of neil’s legacy, a living monument of a man who wanted to become a father, a son who loved him, and the importance of family. Unfortunately, it’s that sentiment that ms. Abbott and ms. Winters preyed upon when they convinced mr. Hamilton to merge hamilton-winters with chancellor industries. They used devon’s deep regard for family bonds, the role that neil played in his and his sister’s lives, and they coerced him into merging. And their argument? To create a family-run company that would make neil proud. Well, shortly after they convinced him to merge, ms. Abbott and ms. Winters insisted on opening up the company to an ipo. Okay, so that’s taking a family-run company and letting in outside money and influence, taking the power out of their hands and putting it in to others. Immediately, devon objected to this and after multiple attempts to try and stop the ipo and amicably dissolve the merger, ms. Abbott and ms. Winters flexed their collective muscle and made it very clear they had no intention of bringing this dream that they sold to devon to fruition. You see, my client’s not asking for money or stock or some sort of windfall. All he is asking for is to walk away with the company that he and his father created.

Elena: [ Sighs ] I hope you don’t think I’m jealous or insecure, because, trust me, I’m not.

Audra: No, I don’t think you are.

Elena: It’s just, I’m struggling with the amount of time nate is spending at work.

Audra: Well, a business like newman media, the demands are intense.

Elena: Which I completely understand.

Audra: But I think you have some legitimate questions about what’s going on between nate and victoria.

Elena: You do?

Audra: It’s probably not my place to say anything, but I’m a little troubled by it.

Elena: I understand that nate and victoria have a tight working relationship. He’s always been good in groups. That’s part of what made him such a great surgeon, his ability to flow with all the people around him.

Audra: I don’t want to cross any lines, elena, you know, or across any issues in your relationship with nate, but I think, um…

Elena: Just say it.

Audra: Well, I think maybe nate and victoria’s relationship is a little deep, but this could also just be me talking from my own biased point of view, because sometimes I feel a little out of the loop, but at times, you know, it just doesn’t feel like a normal employer/employee dynamic.

Elena: In what way?

Audra: Well, they’re together constantly, and I’m sure that’s — that’s great for nate. I’m sure he’s learning a lot. But I’m not sure they’re always focused on the business at hand.

Elena: So what are you saying? There’s something more going on?

Audra: I’m sensing there’s a lot more.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Victoria: We’re adults. Clearly, there is a chemistry between us. And would I have liked to have explored that chemistry and how explosive it might be? Yes. That’s why I invited you to my hotel suite.

[ Sighs ] But I understand that we’re in two different situations. I — I have a certain freedom that you don’t currently have. Look, I’m a single woman. I saw something interesting, and I acted on it.

Nate: Oh, yeah, you did.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: You made your choice. I respect that.

Nate: Okay. I’ll just assume you mean that.

Victoria: We are smart, sophisticated, successful, and I’m sure that we can control ourselves somehow. This attraction that we have for each other, I mean, it doesn’t have to be acted on, right? No matter how powerful it is.

Audra: It’s difficult to hear. I know.

Elena: It is, but I appreciate your honesty. So, what, you think they’re having an affair?

Audra: Well, I’m not sure if anything physical has happened, but if not, I sense it’s heading in that direction. I know you’re probably skeptical. I’m just telling you what I’ve seen.

Elena: No, I don’t doubt it. I just don’t know what to do with this information. It doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, nate and I struggled last year, but we also fought really hard to get through it, so I don’t see why he would jeopardize us.

Audra: Some men are just like that.

Elena: Yeah, you know, when we first got together, we were both in relationships.

Audra: That’s concerning.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess it is, but we are adults, and we made a choice. Now I guess I have a choice to make. What, do I just wait to catch them in the act? Do I trust nate when he says nothing’s going on? Or, what, do I fight for him?

Audra: That’s a decision you’re going to have to make, but if you’re asking for my opinion, look, I’m not one to sit back and do nothing. I’m guessing you’re the same way.

Elena: Well, yeah, I’m willing to fight for my relationship, but what makes this difficult is nate loves his job. He’s so passionate about it. And victoria is a part of that. So she has him right where she wants him.

Audra: I may have an idea that could change up the status quo in a way that helps you.

Victor: Now, jill, I think i know why devon is so adamant about getting hamilton-winters back.

Jill: Yes, he misses his autonomy.

Victor: That’s one of the reasons. The other reason is that he’s worried about you wanting to take the company public.

Jill: Look, he can blame the ipo all he wants, but at best, that was the last straw for him.

Victor: Come on. You and I know what it means when you take a company public. That means you invite all kinds of strangers who are shareholders who interfere in your decision-making process. If that’s the reason devon wants hamilton-winters back, I understand him, okay? I have a feeling you didn’t think this through.

Jill: You said you had an alternative for me.

Victor: Right.

Jill: Is that it? That I don’t know what I’m doing?

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s no reason to get defensive, okay? I think you will like what I have to propose.

Amanda: There is no doubt that the work that mr. Hamilton put into building hamilton-winters along with his late father was admirable. The success of the company was a large part of why my clients proposed the merger in the first place. That being said, the reasons behind why mr. Hamilton decided to merge his company with chancellor industries are irrelevant. Whatever he claims was implied to him during private conversations are not germane to these proceedings. He entered into a contractual agreement period, and nowhere in that contract was there a promise that the newly merged company would remain private throughout its tenure. Effectively, he has come to arbitration to request that the courts assist him in a breach of contract. He wants to break the agreement that he entered into of his own volition. He wants to break his promise. He doesn’t want to hold up his end of the bargain. He wants to throw it all away. But in doing so, he may potentially cause irreparable damage to the existing company. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Audra: Whenever I start a new job, I always do my research, which means I’ve done a deep dive into victoria’s life. That woman has led a colorful life. No lack of romantic partners, to put it politely. Did you follow the drama with her last husband, um, ashland locke?

Elena: Yeah, he and nate used to be close.

Audra: Really? I’m not sure I want that guy as a friend.

Elena: Nate found out pretty quickly that he was manipulating him. Yeah, that — that man was a piece of work.

Audra: Seems like victoria’s married a few of those, including, uh, billy abbott — more than once. But, apparently, she had one former partner with a particularly interesting story. From what I’ve learned, he may have been the love of her life. You know, they break up, reunite, and so on. And then one day he disappeared. He was gone for a really long time, and when he came back, he’d changed. He was violent, dangerous.

Elena: Are you talking about J.T. Hellstrom?

Amanda: The foundation of the contract between chancellor industries and hamilton-winters was based on fairness for all parties involved. Because jill abbott was given the largest stake in the merged company. Other terms were put in that were more favorable to mr. Hamilton. This was the compromise that both parties agreed to. In fact, I personally reviewed the documents for mr. Hamilton during various stages of the merger. I found the terms to be quite fair to him. Initially, I was not formal counsel for either party, so I could view things with an impartial eye, and nowhere did I see terms that were purely one-sided without a caveat to level the balance. Nothing has changed throughout the process except for mr. Hamilton’s desires. Now that he wants to move in a new direction, he’s regretting the deal that he signed, calling foul and pointing his fingers at my clients.

[ Scoffs ] You’re not allowed to do that. You’re not allowed to change the rules in the middle of the game. It’s not the way business works or life. And no amount of emotionally charged accusation is going to change the reality. There’s only one person guilty of breaking the chancellor-winters agreement, and that person is you.

Christine: We knew it was going to be like this. Just keep it together.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Would anybody mind if we took a recess?

Christine: Uh, perhaps an early lunch?

Arbitrator: Okay.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Jill: Well, look, I don’t know what you’re offering me, but there is one thing I want you to know, that this ipo was not unvetted nor impulsive on my part, and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.

Victor: I didn’t mean to imply any wrongdoing on your part, okay? But I’ve known you long enough and know you well enough to know that you share one characteristic of all moguls. You want to keep control.

Jill: I care about the bottom line and the health of my company.

Victor: Yes. Now, for your information, I have often thought — well, not often, but sometimes thought of taking newman public. But the notion of shareholders coming in, strangers coming in, interfering with my decision-making process? To hell with it. Okay? Unless, of course — unless I needed the money, and public offering brings an influx of capital. And I suspect that this is what it’s all about, right?

Jill: Well, business is about making money.

Victor: There are more creative ways of raising funds, you know? Not an ipo. Keep all the shareholders, all the strangers away. That would allow you and devon to maintain control of the company.

Jill: I am aware of the other options, okay? Could you be more specific?

Victor: I’m talking about private investor who would stay out of any decision-making process that you and devon would be involved in, and they would guarantee that in writing.

Jill: And I assume you have someone in mind.

Audra: You’re exactly right. J.T. Hellstrom. Did you know him?

Elena: No, but I did hear a lot of stories about when he came to town. Everyone thought he was dead, but when he returned, something was off. Well, he ended up almost killing victoria, nikki, and sharon. And when all was said and done, they actually found out that J.T. Had a brain tumor. So that was the reason he was spiraling, and it actually wasn’t his fault.

Audra: That’s obviously awful for all involved, but maybe with your medical background, J.T. Might be an interesting case study.

Elena: Yeah, maybe in a purely medical sense, but I don’t see what that has to do with nate and victoria.

Well, I did my research into J.T., As well. It turns out he was released from prison. He’s just avoided genoa city since he’s been out. And I was thinking someone like J.T. Deserves to have his story told. And that’s when it occurred to me. Wouldn’t his life make an interesting story on your medical podcast? I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Amanda: Thanks. So, this case is going as well as expected. How are you feeling?

Lily: I don’t know. Feeling torn. I feel like the way that we’re going about this is causing devon a lot of pain.

Amanda: You want to win, right?

Lily: Yeah, of course I want to win, but I don’t want to hurt him in the process. And, I don’t know, I feel like you were attacking him professionally and personally.

Amanda: It’s my job to use all ammunition in my arsenal. If my mere presence is putting him off-balance, so be it. Lily, I understand that you are conflicted, but just remember, devon brought this on himself.

Elena: You think I should bring J.T. To town to interview him about his medical history?

Audra: For a few reasons. One, it would be the perfect way to kick-start the reboot of your medical podcast at newman media. I mean, what’s splashier than bringing back genoa city’s long-lost prodigal son? You know, give him the opportunity to clear the air, explain what he’s been through, and publicly make amends.

Elena: No, I don’t want to exploit anyone for ratings.

Audra: Right, but the reason why people would listen is because it would be healing for everyone. So we’d be doing a good thing.

Elena: Yeah, I guess, if it were done respectfully.

Audra: Yeah, and it would give you the opportunity to work directly with nate. Wasn’t that part of the reason why you and nate decided to bring the podcast back to newman, right?

Elena: Yeah, that was the driving force of reinstating my contract at newman.

Audra: And as a final bonus, and I’m not making any promises here, but if you look into J.T.’S story, who knows? Might have an impact on victoria. Maybe a love like theirs never really dies.

Victoria: Newman media’s growth looks good over the next quarter, but there’s going to be a low cash flow due to all of the recent acquisitions that we’ve made.

Nate: I’m confident the buys will be paying off soon.

Victoria: Oh, I agree, but we just need to find a way to increase the revenues to offset the money that we’ve spent.

Nate: Okay. I’ll go over the budget line-by-line.

Victoria: That’s why I called this meeting.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: Right.

[ Clears throat ]

Victoria: Is there some kind of problem?

Nate: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I am having trouble focusing this morning. Lily and devon’s arbitration hearing started today.

Victoria: I heard.

Nate: I know how you want it to play out because of the way it may affect your play for mccall, but, for me, either way it goes, I am very worried about my cousins. I still wish there was something more I could do for them.

Devon: Thank you. [ Sighs ] Again, christine, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have done that.

Christine: Called a recess? That’s your lawyer’s job.

Devon: I apologize. I do. I just — it came out before I knew what I was saying.

Christine: Well, we had prepared for that sort of approach from them.

Devon: Believe me, I know we did. It’s just it’s really different to see amanda in person and see that she’s clearly enjoying this opportunity to go after me. And lily’s letting her take shots below the belt. So it’s a whole lot.

Christine: I understand. You’re frustrated. But you have to maintain your composure. Their strategy is working because you’re letting it.

Devon: I’m aware. It’s — it’s a lot harder than I thought, sitting back and not saying anything when the attacks are personal. And I know that amanda doesn’t care about what she’s saying or the contracts. She just literally wants to watch everything that I’ve built burn to the ground.

So,

what are you waiting for?

Christine: I empathize with you, and I know you need to vent your feelings, but do that here with me at society, not at arbitration. You can’t explode in there. That would be giving lily and amanda exactly what they want. Plus, it could hurt our case because the arbitrator could look at this entire lawsuit as an irrational, selfish move that they’re claiming it is.

Devon: Well, yeah, I didn’t even think about the arbitrator. Did you get a read on her? Like, is it — is it bad?

Elena: I admit, the idea of shifting victoria’s attention away from nate is tempting. And, of course, I would love to work with nate again, producing the podcast.

Audra: It would be a win/win for everyone. Or, almost everyone.

Elena: I also love the idea of bringing awareness to the effects that a brain tumor can have on one’s conscious or unconscious thought processes. I think it’s valuable to have someone who’s been negatively affected talk about their experience. That way, we’d be educating people and rebuilding relationships.

Audra: That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Elena: But there is a downside. What you’re saying in totality is just wrong. Toying with people’s emotions and making them relive traumas just so victoria can stop trying to steal my boyfriend? That’s not really a game I want to play.

Audra: I-I never meant to imply anything like that. But you’re absolutely right. All of that should stay in the past — the painful parts as well as the romance.

Elena: Yeah. Well, thank you for your insight, and I appreciate the conversation. And even though a J.T. Podcast is off the table, you have given me a lot to think about.

Audra: Absolutely. Whatever I can do to help.

Victoria: Despite our disagreement about the chancellor-winters arbitration outcome, I get why you want to make things right in your family. I mean, I wanted the same thing for mine. And having my parents working here with me at newman and convincing nick to come back to the company, I consider that one of my greatest successes of late. There’s something very powerful about having your family together, united and working towards the same goal.

Nate: Yeah, there is. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us, and I take my heavy share of the blame for that.

Victoria: Well, I’m impressed that you’re taking responsibility and that you’re making amends for what you did. I am. And I… I really, truly hope that you can heal this rift in your family, nate.

Nate: I hope so, too.

Victoria: You know, I’ve been with some very unscrupulous people romantically, so your moral compass is a really nice change of pace.

Nate: Even though we’re not together?

Victoria: Right. You know, core values are also very admirable in business. You shouldn’t feel guilty about how things unravel between devon and lily. You really shouldn’T. That didn’t happen in a vacuum. You were provoked. You should try to cut yourself some slack.

Nate: I appreciate you saying that, but I think you’re the only one who feels that way.

Lily: I’m just not sure if this is the right way to go about it.

Amanda: But it is the best way to win. Devon is trying to destroy everything that you accomplished, everything that you worked so hard to achieve. I mean, how many nights did you spend alone at the office, especially after both coos left? Was devon working with the same level of commitment towards building and fortifying chancellor-winters? Absolutely not.

Lily: Hm. It’s funny. Daniel said the exact same thing to me earlier. He said that I have every right to try to preserve the company as is.

Amanda: Lily, everyone who cares about you knows that you deserve this, and devon is trying to rip it away for purely selfish reasons.

Lily: The way he ripped apart everything you and he had?

Amanda: Yes. And, yes, I am using our relationship to my advantage, to our advantage. If he’s flustered by that, so be it. Maybe he should’ve thought about the consequences of his actions before he cheated on me.

Lily: Amanda, this should not be about you getting back at him.

Amanda: No, it should not. It should be about you keeping your company intact. And I told you that I would do everything to make sure that that happened. You agreed to my methods. It’s really too late to back down now.

Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know.

Amanda: You may have some ambivalence, but you have to let me work my way. This is where I excel, where I thrive. I understand that you may be torn, but jill is not. She wants chancellor-winters to stay intact, and I intend to deliver.

Victor: Now, you’re right in assuming that devon is playing with a weak hand in this suit, you know, and I think you’ll win.

Jill: And you want him to win?

Victor: Well, yeah, because if devon keeps on this path, then he will destroy the company that he and his father, neil, built, and I can’t allow that to happen, if only for neil’s sake.

Jill: So it’s about neil?

Victor: And devon. Now that devon is more intimately involved in abby’s life and my grandson’s life, I want to make sure that neil’s legacy passes through his son onto my grandson.

Jill: And you would be willing…?

Victor: Willing to offer you the money that you think chancellor deserves.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

dante. Hey. Come on in. What brings you by? I was just checking on you, actually.

[ Knock on door ] Dex, open up. We need to talk. Uh, it’s, uh… not — not really a good time. Okay, well, make time. It’s important.

[ Sighs ] One sec. Can I come in?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Josslyn? So, it all makes sense now. You’re dex’s mystery boss? You still love chase, don’t you? Doesn’t matter. We’re over. Which really hurts because…yes. I’m still in love with chase. Ugh, I keep telling myself that I’m gonna get over it and that the feelings will fade and eventually disappear. But every time I see him… your heart starts to race. Butterflies kick in, and it’s all I can do but to grab him and tell him how badly I want him back.

[ Doorbell rings ] Literally saved byhe bell. I’ll get that. What is this? What, mousy librarian or something? You like it? No! It’s not altogether original. Come on, let’s go. Wait — mnh-mnh! Where? What do you mean, where? We’re going back to the safe house. No. No? No. The nurses’ ball cannot survive without me. Um, hello?! I’m standing right here. All right. If victor realizes that you’re alive, this whole operation goes up in smoke. Not to mention that people’s lives are at risk. Do you understand that? Do you want that on your head? I’m guessing this is why laura refused to sell charlotte’s elq shares — because she knew you were still alive.

[ Scoffs ] No more games, valentin. What is going on? A group of us, including laura, are working secretly against victor cassadine. Who else is in the group? Anna, felicia, robert scorpio, and… lucy coe. Not exactly a combat-ready bunch. I’ll say. If victor is gonna use the same kind of firepower he did in crete, you’re gonna need somebody with a military background. Do you have anyone in mind? Me.


No, o-of course I do not want people to die. I mean, come on. I didn’t want luke to die. He w– he was a very special friend to me. You remember some of his nurses’ ball performances? The disco that he did? He was so amazing. And this cause was so important to him, and he would want me to — stop talking! Okay, listen. I understand that you are so disappointed that you can’t participate in this year’s nurses’ ball. But here’s the thing. Victor is planning something big — potentially catastrophic. It is up to us to end it. At the expense of the nurses’ ball? Come on! You know everything we have done, the nurses’ ball did for robin! Oh, don’t play the robin card with me. I’m — I’m just saying that the nurses’ ball is very, very important to you. I know. And if anybody knows, that’s me. I know that. Exactly! That’s my point! Maxie: Ladies! Enough! Okay, I cannot believe I’m about to say this, but we already have a solution. Lucy came up with it. You’re volunteering? Well, that depends. I need to hear the plan first. Victor cassadine has a long-term plan, some grand design that has to be stopped. I don’t have details, but I know it involves a necklace. A necklace? Mm-hmm. Containing diamonds cut from the ice princess. What? But why is this necklace so important? And — and does it have anything to do with operation demeter? I don’t know. I don’t know why victor cassadine would go to such great lengths to interrogate you over operation demeter. I just know that he wants the necklace because it has a code or a formula engraved on one of the stones. Those are beautiful. Um, is — is willow here? Oh, yeah. She’s, um, in the living room. Chase. Hi. Willow. How are you feeling? Pretty much the same.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s not worse. So that’s good.

[ Chuckles lightly ] These are for you. You remembered. That you’re obsessed with daffodils? Of course I remembered. Thank you. That is really, really sweet. I’ll leave you two to visit. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, too.

[ Sighs ] So, what’s the latest? Big news — we’ve decided to reschedule the wedding for after the bone marrow transplant. So there’s more to celebrate. Exactly. Do you have a date for the transplant? Not yet. My “great-aunt liesl” was on medication that has to be completely out of her system before she can donate. So, in the meantime, I am keeping myself busy planning a summer wedding in the rose garden. Everyone’s pitching in to pull it off. You know, brook lynn has been a huge help.

[ Sighs ] Do not eavesdrop. Do not eavesdrop. Come on, brook lynn. Get it together. It doesn’t surprise me that brook lynn is stepping up. You bring out the best in everyone. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Michael’s a lucky guy. I thought I made it clear I don’t want josslyn anywhe near this. You did. And you agreed. That’s right. But the situation has changed. Yeah, apparently. You need to go, josslyn. What? We’ll talk about this later. It’s vital right now that I talk to dex. Michael. Michael, it doesn’t matter, okay? There’s no point. I already know that he’s collecting evidence against sonny. I know about pikeman. What i didn’t know was who he was working for. And now I do. All right. The job’s over. You’re leaving port charles tonight. Uh, rocco said he saw nina in the lobby, and she looked upset. For my self-absorbed teenager to notice that and then to tell me about it, she must have looked really upset, so I figured it had something to do with willow. No, no, everything’s the same on that front. We’re waiting on liesl to be cleared for the transplant. Oh, that’s good. Yeah. All right, well, hey, look, your relationship with nina, that’s your business. I don’t want to pry. You want to talk, you know where to find me. I’ll be down the hall. Rocco’s right. Yeah. It’s — it’s nina. She’s upset. And it’s my fault.


As my employer, you can fire me, but you can’t force me to leave port charles. He can’t leave, michael. Sonny will think he’s a traitor. And then what happens?

[ Sighs ] Sonny will track him down and have him killed. But more importantly — more important than your life? I can’t leave joss.

[ Sighs ] Sounds like you two already talked about this. Yes, michael, we’ve — we have talked about this, okay? Look, the best option is for dex to finish the job that you hired him to do so that you can turn sonny into the feds. This is why I didn’t want you involved in this. Why not? You know how I feel about sonny. Okay? I feel the same way you do. Let me help you take him down. Right. And what happens after that? Sonny goes to prison where he belongs. And avery and donna are devastated. Not to mention dante and kristina. Now, I’m prepared to deal with the fallout from that, to take on their anger and their blame. I didn’t want any of that to fall on you! So, tell me. What’s the deal with nina? Well, it’s not like we’re breaking up. At — at least, I hope not. I love her as much as ever. So what happened? She’s experienced what I would call the realities of my world. It’s a lot to process. Is that why you got the guards all over the building? I had a — a security issue. A security issue, huh? Yeah. We didn’t hear anything about, um, shots fired or missing persons, so I’m assuming you didn’t report it to the police. I-I have reason to believe that the — the focus was solely on me. The reason I got guards on my kids and nina is — just a precaution? I told carly and ava I don’t want donna or avery anywhere near me. I’m guessing you told nina the same thing. I just hope that when this is over, she’ll come back to me. What solution? Wasn’t the whole point of this rude ambush to — excuse me. It wasn’t a rude ambush. Might have been an ambush. Not a rude ambush. [ Chuckles ] Wasn’t the whole point to get me to agree to be your eyes and ears of the nurses’ ball? Uh, yes, but you seemed less than enthusiastic. Oh, I’m sorry. Did I not have the reaction that you wanted? Oh, what, you needed, like, some time to adjust? Yes. And — and I happen to be an amazing event planner. I have my own ideas, my own vision, as you like to call it. So, I’m happy to collaborate, lucy, but I will not just be taking your orders. You don’t — y-y-you don’t get it. We do not have time for collaboration. Don’t you see? The nurses’ ball is syncing up with the 60th anniversary of the hospital. Which means we are, like, right in front of this speeding freight train that’s bearing down on us. I am the only one that can pull this off. I am the only — I agree. What was that? No. 100%. That you should do everything lucy tells you to do, just the way she tells you to do it. I’m sure you’re an excellent event planner, but I’m sure that you’re very capable of following lucy’s lead, especially when it’s for the greater good. Fine. Anything you want. “Just the way”… just the way you want it. Guys, I really think this could work.


R latest duet. Oh, you liked it? I love it. It’s a beautiful ballad. Thanks. The majority of the props should go to blaze. I mean, her vocals were off the charts. Maybe one of these days, a girl can actually get an autograph?

[ Both laugh ] Willow, I never took you as a groupie. Well, I guess I just can’t help myself. Your wish is my command.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Are you gonna listen in on a private conversation, brook lynn? . You are not. You are a grown-up.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Playing chords ] Besides [Sighs] You don’t want to know what chase thinks of you now, anyway.

[ Plays chord ] Chase: You’re also caring…

passionate… and incredibly sexy… and I’ve been falling for you for a long time now. And even if you don’t feel the same way about me, I-I still had to tell you, because we miss 100% of the shots that we don’t take. I couldn’t agree more. I’m sorry. Wanted to let you sleep in. Why would I want to sleep in when I could spend my morning with you? Oh. Chase: Just tell me. When were you gonna let me know that dante asked you to write a letter to the civilian complaint review board recommending that I get my badge back? Never? Brook lynn: We can work this out. Brook lynn, you lied to me! You kept me from the thing that makes me who I am. There’s nothing to work out, all right? It’s over!

[ Plays discordant note ]

[ Sighs ] You blew it, girl. Maybe you should write a song about that.

[ Clears throat ] “To one of the bravest, strongest, and best people I know.” Back at you.

[ Inhales deeply ] So…

[ Chuckles ] What is it like being an honest-to-god rock star? Oh. [ Chuckles ] It’s cool. I guess I’m gonna miss it. Why are you going to miss it? Well, hopefully when the review board meets this spring, they’re gonna reinstate me. Back to police life. If it all works out, yeah. I mean, look. Do I enjoy singing? Sure. But the only reason I have been performing is so I can stay in close proximity to blaze’s sleazy manager. Brook lynn’s ex-manager, right? Linc brown. He is the worst. I mean, sexual harassment, shady business practices, you name it. So is the plan to find something to charge him with or…? And hopefully soon. Because I won’t feel right going back to the force if it means leaving blaze and brook lynn to contend with that sleaze. Aha! “Aha”? W-what does that mean? This is really about helping brook lynn. When sonny was holding dex because he suspected him of being the hook, you came to me for help. Yeah, I did.

[ Scoffs ] How did I not see it? I should have known right then and there you were too close to this. I should have pulled the plug! No, no! You shouldn’t have. Okay? Dex saved my life when heather attacked me on new year’S. What are you talk– britt westbourne saved your life. Well, she helped fight heather off, yes, of course, but she was losing that battle until dex showed up. He’s the one who fired at heather. That’s what made her run off. I-I’m just hearing about this now? Michael. I work for you. Anything related to that is fair game. But what I have with josslyn… it’s personal. Why wouldn’t nina come back? I mean, she’s obviously crazy about you. I mean, she’d have to be, given the grief that you guys went through over how you got together. I mean, after enduring all that, why would she just walk away? How do I explain this? I was a different man in nixon falls. Ha ha! No kidding. Kinder. Simpler. Hey. Yeah. But you know what I noticed? A lot of that kind of followed you back here. This has been a pretty peaceful time in your business. That’s what I’m saying. Hm. I was free to focus on my family. And nina? Yeah, she — she made me better in a lot of ways. She got you to cut back on your drinking. That’s the least of it. I think — I think I misrepresented my life. Not that nina didn’t know that it was dangerous or what I do for a living is allegedly… ah. Thank you for that. …Illegal. But now… she’s getting an up-close and personal view of it for the first time. What if she doesn’t want to be in my life? What about you? What about me? If nina’s not in it, is it still the life that you want? Uh, we haven’t been able to crack the code, but we do know that it’s pivotal to the success of my father’s plan. And how do you know that? Because he’s still looking for the necklace, with the help of his operative, eileen ashby. Wait a minute. Deputy mayor eileen ashby? Yeah, that’s the one. She’s working for victor? She was. Now she’s working for us. We’re having her deliver a duplicate necklace to victor. With a false code engraved on it. That’s right, and we’re hoping once he has what he thinks he needs, he’ll make a move. So you trick victor into making his final play, but you don’t give him the means to accomplish what he’s actually after. And in the process, he incriminates himself. And that’s how we’re finally gonna bring down my father.


Sorry. Stay here. Alright. It’s all clear. Lucy! I-I’m c-coming. I’m coming. I just — it’s impossible to text with these glasses on. I just can’t see what I’m doing. Okay. You seem to be managing perfectly well. Confetti cannon or just a big drop? Hm. I don’t know. Which would have the most impact? Can you just stop? What?! What are you doing? What — what — what is the problem? Hey! Hey, hey, hey! What is the problem? You almost got us all killed. Listen, this whole plan hinges on complete secrecy. Hence you and lucy faking your death and anna playing fugitive? Well, actually, victor thinks that anna is dead, as well. He thinks he’s got a straight shot for the necklace. And he would have no idea that I was involved. So what do you say? Will you help us? But if secrecy is key, what are you doing out here out in the open like this? Lucy coe has gone rogue. Of course she has. She wants to take control of the nurses’ ball. Anna’s gone after her. So anna is risking discovery, too. I mean, maybe it’s a good thing we showed up. Like you said, we’re not exactly combat-ready. We could use you. You got me. I mean, yeah, the only reason I got into the music business was to help brook lynn. And at the beginning, it was great until I found out there was a lot of stuff that she wasn’t telling me. I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve to be treated like that. Not by brook lynn. Or by me. Willow, I w-wasn’t trying — I know you weren’T. But it doesn’t make it any less true. I married you when I was already in love with michael. Because you thought I was dying. We all did. I told myself I was doing the right thing, giving you one final gift to make you happy. And you don’t believe that anymore? I-I do. My intentions weren’t the problem. It’s just… now that I’m faced with dying myself… hey. You’re not there yet. Faced with the possibility. I’ve realized that life is not only too short, but too precious to waste any time on lies. Don’t misunderstand. I am very grateful that you saved josslyn’s life, okay? I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if you hadn’t been there. Neither can I. But the bottom line is, we had a deal. We did. And when you first told me to stay away from josslyn, I had every intention of doing just that. Turned out to be impossible. So you lied. About my personal situation. I’ve never lied about anything relating to pikeman or sonny. Speaking of, there’s something you should know. Someone tried to kill sonny in an ambush the other night. Where? In one of his warehouses. Your father wasn’t hurt, but I was grazed. Are you okay? I’m fine. But the good news is, sonny trusts me now more than ever.

[ Sighs ] I can’t have you near this, joss. Michael — I can’t! If, god forbid, something happens to you… why would anything happen to me, okay? I’m not in the line of fire! He is! That’s because it’s his job! Look, I hired somebody from a security firm because I wanted somebody who understood the danger. Look, I get it, okay? You hired him to perform a service. But he is so much more than that to me now. Okay? I-I care way less about sonny being brought to justice than I do about him surviving this! Well, you know what? That’s going to require some sacrifices. Now, if you want dex to see this through, sonny has to trust him. Did you not hear the part where dex saved sonny’s life? It won’t matter if sonny finds out that you two are together, which means he can’T. A-are you ordering me to stay away from joss? No. I tried that before. It didn’t work. And even if you were willing, josslyn clearly isn’T. Look, this isn’t about policing your relationship, okay? This is about taking sonny down. And until that happens, sonny can’t have any reason to suspect you. So if you want dex to live through this, make sure he doesn’t find out that you two are together.

[ Door closes ] It’s a little too late to ask me if this is the life I want. It’s the life I got. It’s the life you chose when you were too young to know any better. Well, you know how it works. If I decide to leave the business, then I got to leave the country, I got to leave my family. I’m not willing to do that. Maybe there were some things that you liked about mike from nixon falls. There were some things that i liked about mike from nixon falls. Really? What? Yeah. Well, you were, uh… less reactive. A little — I don’t know — calmer maybe. You seemed like you were prioritizing your family over the business. But I have a feeling all that’s about to change. It has to. It’s just a lot harder than I thought.


I wasn’t honest with you when we were married, but I’ve learned my lesson and I’m going to be honest with you now. This sounds serious. It could be. And I swear I’m not trying to meddle. Says every person before they dive into meddling. You couldn’t keep your eyes off of brook lynn earlier. What? It’s true. You light up when you’re around her, chase. I would know. Once upon a time, you used to light up like that around me. I think — I think you’re seeing things that aren’t there. Am I? Okay, yes, I still have feelings for brook lynn because what we had was real. What you had was love. And I can’t just flip a switch and turn that off because… brook lynn really hurt me. I’m not pretending she didn’t or even saying you were wrong to end things between you two. But what if brook lynn is your person, chase? Is being right really worth being without her? You’ve been… uncharacteristically quiet. From the minute you showed up, I knew valentin wanted you involved. And it was your choice to make. I didn’t want to influence your decision. Now that I’ve made my decision? You want my opinion? Always.

[ Laughs ] First tell me why you said yes. Because. Victor stole two years of my life. I-I can’t let him get away with that. That’s not all of it. No. No. Come on. It’s not about revenge for you. It’s — it’s victor’s lust for power and for control. And this has been going on for so long, for four decades. He infiltrated the wsb, and now he’s moving toward some mysterious goal. Nobody knows what it’s about. And personally, I don’t need to know… to know that it is a very serious threat. The man has to be stopped. A-and I think that valentin and the others, I think they need — they need my help to do it. So now tell me what you think. I think you’re doing the right thing. But you have reservations.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t you? I have many. Jason died on cassadine island. And now you’re going after victor. I don’t want to lose you, too. The only reason that you weren’t shot with a real bullet — you understand? The only reason that you’re able to breathe today is because victor thought he had a use for you. But now, I-if he’d seen you tonight, he would have killed you in a heartbeat. Okay. I get it. I am sorry. Do you get it?! I do. I swear. I ap– I apologize. Okay? I really never had any intention of jeopardizing you or me or the whole plan to get victor. I-I didn’T. And, you know, I-I-I-I promise it’s just me. Sometimes I get carried away. Yes! You’re the poster child for getting carried away! Well, good news. I-I am 99.9% sure that victor didn’t see me in the restaurant. Great. What restaurant? What? You were in the metro court with victor? One minute. T-two minutes, tops.

[ Door opens ] Oh. Yeah, you’re right. She just — she’s blown the entire operation.


I had good life before nixon falls. Treasured my family, accepted the risks. The, uh, expected periodic episodes of danger? I didn’t say I liked it. I, you know — comes with the territory. Yeah, pun intended. You can’t miss what you never had. Except now there is something to miss,ight? Because what you had in nixon falls, you got to give that up, right? You know, it’s not permanent. I-I’m gonna resolve the situation, and I’m gonna be able to get — to get my kids and nina back. But there will be another situation. I mean, there always is one, right? I just hope that my family a-and nina stick with me. Well, I will be here. I’ll tell you that. I’m not going anywhere. I appreciate that, especially coming, you know — your profession. What, ’cause I’m a cop and you’re an “alleged,” uh… thank you for that. …Gangster?

[ Laughs ] Hey. This isn’t about that. It’s about being father and son. I don’t want to leave you. The sooner I get evidence against sonny, the sooner this will be over. But until then, I can’t risk alienating him or doing anything to make him suspicious. Which means you can’t risk being seen with me. Yeah, michael was very clear about that. I don’t like it, but I get it. No one says you have to like it. I’m gonna be staying at sonny’s for at least another day. But after that, we can figure out a way for us to meet. In the meantime, you can’t come by here, okay? And if you see me for whatever reason… pretend like I don’t know you? Now, that would be suspicious. You can say hi. Just don’T… act like I care? I’ll try. But I do care. Any regrets? Me neither.

[ Door closes ] Wow. When you meddle, you don’t mess around. You just go right for that jugular.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I have less patience for wasted anything these days, but especially wasted time.

[ Door closes ] Hey, chase. Chase: Hey. I don’t think I’ve seen you since the news broke. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Thank you. Looking forward to it. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but you’re about to marry a very wise, perceptive woman. Now, if you excuse me, I have somewhere I need to be.

[ Sighs ] So where’d you disappear to? Um, I was in the final stages of a project. I was tempted to cut my losses, but I realized the best way forward was to see it through. The sooner, the better. Sounds like you have it all figured out. Yeah, I just — I just want to focus on what really matters. You and the kids. I like the way you think. Well, coming from such a “wise and perceptive woman,” I’m honored. So what was all that about with, uh, chase? It was driving me crazy, watching him and brook lynn dance around each other. So…I might have stuck my nose in where it doesn’t belong. Here’s hoping it works. You working on a new song? So far, I’ve got about three verses on regret.

[ Sighs ] It’s garbage. Brook lynn quartermaine does not create garbage. Oh, you’re just being nice. I’m being honest. I love your songs. I love a lot of things when it comes to you. Talking with you. Spending time with you. Really? I miss that, brook lynn. I miss us. I’m being ridiculous. I’m sorry. You are not being ridiculous. Look, if our positions were reversed, I — I’d be scared, too. I’m tempted to go just to keep an eye on you. You can’t go anywhere. I know I can’T. I can’t because willow’s so sick and my kids and my grandkids need me. I get it. Well, truthfully, I’m actually kind of happy that you’re gonna stay and you’re gonna be safe. You have to stay safe. You have to stay safe. If it makes you feel any better, I have had a little bit of training and experience with this sort of thing. I can — I can handle myself. Counting on it. And I know you have to go for all the reasons you said, but if and when you go… …promise me you’ll come home. Promise me. I promise. Hey. Um, I-I-I was totally unrecognizable. I am dressed as a librarian. Tell him. She’s dressed as a librarian. Yeah, yeah. See? See? Look. Look. And I promise you, the minute I saw victor — the second, I turned my back. Well, I suppose this near-miss underscores the need that, uh, we stay indoors until this is all over. Yeah. Yeah, I-I-I get it. From this moment on, I am going to be the essence of cooperation. Hope you mean that, lucy, ’cause I really need you to. I do. I-I-I swear I do. And — and it’s really good because maxie’s gonna be my eyes and ears for the ball, and she’s agreed to follow all my instructions to a “T.” So that’s good, too. And I’m gonna be really good. Could I please, please, please have my burner phone back, please? Thank you! Okay. A-and I really am sorry. I-I’m not kidding. I-I’m very sorry. And I apologize for any trouble I may have caused. “May have caused.” Hi, bobbie. It’s me. I-I know. I’m calling you from the landline.

[ Cellphone chiming rapidly ] Something is going on with my cellphone. Uh, I wanted to let you know I have some new ideas for the nurses’ ball. Lots and lots of new ideas.

[ Chuckles ] What? I thought you would have been more upset. If I was, I’d be a hypocrite. How come? I couldn’t leave without you. So I went for a walk and I ran into carly. And drew cain. Whoa. Regular party. Long story short, uh, they’ve been briefed, and drew cain is on board to help us out. Really? That’s — that’s actually very good news. I hope it is. Yeah. I’m really sorry. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I kind of attacked you. I really overreacted. But when I came in here and I saw that the table was overturned and stuff, I thought maybe that you’d taken me at my word, gone to europe… um, which I would have deserved. But I would have — I would have really missed you. Anna, if victor knew you were alive, he would kill you. And I have loved you always. We’ve lived our whole lives apart, and if I were to lose you now, I couldn’t take that. Ohh. Let’s not lose each other through all of this. Let’s bury victor instead.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Thomas, this dress was beautiful on paper, but this? This is flawless. How– how did you get it done so fast?

Thomas: Long hours and a lot of motivation.

Petra: I’m gonna miss all of our fittings. Any chance you’re free for a drink later?

Thomas: Uh, I– I actually think I’ll be working late, but maybe rain check?

Petra: Anytime.

Thomas: Okay, well can you tell martin no changes? Thanks.

Steffy: I see you’re interested in someone that’s not hope.

Thomas: Uh, yeah, she’s amazing, but I’m more focused on being the best designer and brother and person that I can.

Steffy: I’m really proud of you.

Thomas: I hope– I hope dad feels the same way. Have you talked to him about bringing me back to the company.

Steffy: I wasn’t sure you were gonna come back to the company until I heard from hope.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, well, I mean, we’re all moving forward, right?

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: I think that’s– that’s a great thing. There’s no way that he would be upset about that.

Steffy: Honestly, I’m um– I’m beginning to wonder how involved dad wants to be. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Ridge: Can you please get back to your house and get sheila to talk some more?

Bill: She can stew. I’m on a donut break.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were complaining about how long this was taking.

Bill: You know what? All you have to do is watch tv like it’s some kind of twisted reality show. I am living with that nut in my home, pretending to be the lovesick boyfriend, alienating my family, all so I can keep them safe.

Ridge: At least you get to see your family. I’m stuck in here with chen! No offense.

Chen: I’m sitting here, guys, and thanks to both of you, there’s a very good chance this murderer might finally be put away.

Bill: And then our families will finally be safe, once and for all, from sheila carter.

[ Phone buzzing ]

Sheila: Deacon, you can’t just hang up on me like that.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I had to, all right? Can you come over?

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Come over to the apartment, sheila, please. I need to see you. It’s urgent.

Bill: There’s no way sheila can figure out that her phone is bugged, right?

Chen: No.

Bill: Why does deacon want her to come over? All that stuff she was saying about me being on to them. I don’t like it. We can’t have any mistakes. I have worked too hard and sacrificed too damn much for this thing to fall apart now.

Thomas: So, dad’s been out of touch?

Steffy: He checks in, but you’re right. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Thomas: You’re starting to worry.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Um, I just saw petra in the new design. I mean, thomas, it is gorgeous.

Thomas: I’ve been feeling incredibly inspired lately and I think we’re gonna take hope for the future to new heights.

Hope: Well, I like the sound of that.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Sheila: We– we shouldn’t even be talking right now.

Deacon: Which should tell you how important this is.

Sheila: You miss me. I get it.

Deacon: Sheila, this isn’t some booty call, all right? When I say it’s urgent, it’s urgent.

Sheila: I just need to be home before bill gets back.

Deacon: Just get over here as soon as possible.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve had it with sheila. It makes me want to literally vomit in my mouth sharing my bed with her. Seeing her nine grimy toes walking around my house. I gotta do something more drastic.

Chen: We need to stick to the plan, maintain her trust. Get sheila’s confession.

Ridge: Mm-hm. And when we do, she’ll be out of our lives forever.

Crack the science

of stronger hair

Steffy: Hope and I wouldn’t have had you come back to the company if we didn’t think that you’d changed.

Thomas: Oh, this is just the beginning, you know? I am planning on improving every part of my life and that also means doing the best designs I have ever made for you, hope.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Just give me a second.

Hope: Hey, is uh, is this one new?

Thomas: Yeah, actually I just finished that one last night. What do you think?

Hope: I mean, I really like it. What do you think about maybe dropping the neckline a little bit?

Thomas: I like that. We can also– we can bring the embroidery around from the bodice.

Hope: Mm, it’s dramatic, but that is what makes your design so compelling, thomas. The element of surprise.

Thomas: Mm. I like dramatic.

[ Both chuckling ] Um…

Hope: It’s uh… it’s good to have you back, thomas.

Thomas: Thank you. That means a lot. It’s not gonna be a problem?

Hope: No, no. I… think we’re gonna create a lot of buzz together.

Thomas: I love that. Buzz.

Hope: Um, so you know how we were talking about either doing a theme or structural design? I feel like this one’s still a little bit structural.

Steffy: Hope thinks you’re hot.

Thomas: I’m not lying to you.

Steffy: So, you’re telling me hope just walked in on you in your underwear. You know, we have a locker room, by the way?

Thomas: You know what? Forget I said anything.

Hope: Stoning instead of embroidery?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: I like that. It definitely plays into the fantasy element.

Thomas: Okay, we could do that.

Hope: So, we do it…

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sheila: Hey. I can’t stay. I’ve got to get back to the house before bill gets home. I don’t want him to ask me all kinds of questions about where I’ve been. Well, why am I here?

Deacon: Sheila, we gotta talk.

Sheila: Hello, that’s why I am here. What’s going on?

Chen: Copy that. Hold position. Agent murphy confirms sheila did go over to deacon sharpe’s apartment. I’ll get another update once the target leaves.

Bill: Maybe I should’ve left her in jail when the cops took her out of my house, ended it there.

Ridge: It wouldn’t– no. It wouldn’t have been the end of it. She would’ve found a way to get out.

Chen: We kept her in L.A. Under surveillance.

Ridge: You know, what she did to steffy and finn was despicable, but not her worst crimes, right?

Bill: She has to go away for first degree murder.

Chen: As the two of you, along with chief baker, knows, she’s a person of interest in at least a couple of unsolved homicides.

Ridge: Yup. Killing lance, dr. Garvin, it should be enough to put her away for life, no parole.

Bill: Maximum security prison.

Chen: She trusts you, bill. Thanks to your act with the judge, she believes you control her freedom. It was a good call bringing him in on this.

Bill: Steffy bought that hook, link and sinker. She believes I bought off mcmullen.

Ridge: She does. I wish we could bring her in on this, bill.

Chen: But you’re all committed to keeping this operation secret.

Ridge: Yeah.

Bill: It’s the only way it’ll work. Everyone has to buy in so sheila buys in. If she gets one inkling it’s a setup, she’s gone.

Ridge: She’s gotta crack.

Bill: She needs to crack because everyday she doesn’t is another day I’ve gotta lie to my family.

Ridge: You’re protecting them.

Bill: It doesn’t make the lies any easier, ridge, especially the biggest one. Makes me sick every time I have to say it. I’m in love with… with sheila carter.

[ Bill sighing ] Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Hope: This lace is gorgeous.

Thomas: Yeah, we do wanna keep it subtle though, right? So maybe use it to accent the bodice?

Hope: I like it. Some added texture.

Thomas: Great.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh. I almost forgot. They need me in the sewing room. Uh, we’re good here, right?

Steffy: Yes, yeah. We’ll catch up later.

Thomas: Okay, cool.

Hope: Oh, thomas. Don’t forget your sketch.

Thomas: Uh, keep it. We’ll talk about it when I get back.

Hope: What? I– I trust your brother’s instincts.

Steffy: Yeah. You’re giving him a lot of encouragement.

Hope: Is there something wrong with that?

Steffy: I just thought you might be a little more reserved.

Hope: I mean, well, it surprised me too how easily we were able to fall back in step with one another.

Steffy: In a purely professional sense, right?

Hope: How else would I mean it, steffy?

Deacon: Don’t act like you’re the only one taking risks here.

Sheila: You asked to see me. Why?

Deacon: I put a lot on the line for you.

Sheila: And I am greatly appreciative of all that.

Deacon: And you know how I feel about you.

Sheila: Yeah, because you show me every time we’re together. But we don’t have time for any of that today, deacon.

Deacon: We don’t have time for anything. Not today… or ever again.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Sheila, hope stopped by the restaurant when you and I were on the phone call. She’s proud of me. She’s finally proud of what I’m doing with my life.

Sheila: So you– you’re worried she’s gonna find out about us. Oh.

Chen: I’m gonna check in on the other team.

Ridge: You know where I’ll be. You knew this was gonna be a challenge.

Bill: We are– we are way past challenge, ridge. This is nightmare territory. Every day, I have to wake up next to that– that creature. Never let my guard down.

Ridge: None of us can let our guard down. But steffy and her family are being left alone and that’s because of you.

Bill: I think that’s maybe a veiled thank you.

Ridge: I think you’re reading into stuff. There’ll be plenty of people thanking you when sheila’s gone.

Bill: Well, right now, they all think I’m nuts.

Ridge: Falling in love with sheila, that’s a nutty thing to do.

Bill: And that’s why I have to work so hard to convince everyone. Keep them away, make them hate me. Burn every bridge to keep them safe from that monster.

Ridge: Temporary.

Bill: It’s time I’ll never get back.

Ridge: Yeah, I know. But the time you will have with your kids, your grandkids, it’ll be spent without fear.

Bill: That’s the plan.

Ridge: And you, sir, are executing it very well.

Bill: You know what, ridge? I don’t need any pats on the head, I don’t need any

[Indistinct], All right? This isn’t a review of some kind of broadway performance, all right? This– this is real life. The fact that this is life and death and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Ridge: You don’t think I know that? The fbi is on our side.

Bill: I need to make sheila think I’m on her side. Us against the world. Us against my family. I have to stay focused on the end game. That’s the only way I can get through this.

Ridge: All right, good. Then do that. Focus and get the information that we need.

Music

Hope: Do you think I’m being unprofessional?

Steffy: No, no. I… okay, I’m going to be honest. Are you gonna be able to work with my brother?

Hope: Um, we already are and very well. I mean, you can see that.

Steffy: Yeah, I don’t wanna make something out of nothing, but…

Hope: Okay, steffy. I’m not sure what you’re talking about because you’re the one that insisted that I take thomas back as my lead designer.

Steffy: Absolutely. I’m glad I did that. Hope for the future is gonna be amazing, but should I be concerned about how this is gonna affect you personally?

Hope: Oh. Steffy, I already talked to liam about this.

Steffy: Liam is your business. You and thomas are mine.

Hope: Okay, and we’re getting along great.

Steffy: I’m just wondering how this is all gonna play out, given liam’s feelings for my brother and yours.

Hope: Mine? Steffy, what are you insinuating?

Deacon: If hope finds out about us, she’d never trust me again. If she even sees that you’re on my phone–

Sheila: Wait a minute. Wait.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: I’m on your phone?

Deacon: Come on, sheila. You know what I’m talking about. You gotta be going through the same thing with spencer. Keeping secrets, sneaking around.

Sheila: No, it’s really not the same.

Deacon: Hope just showed up downstairs earlier. If she just drops by here and sees the two of us together, she’s the only good thing that I’ve ever done in my life. The only pure thing, out of all my poor judgement, all my– my horrendous decision making and impulses. She’s my daughter, sheila. I love her. I can’t lose her. You’ve gotta understand that more than anyone.

Sheila: Yeah, of course I do.

Deacon: Do you?

Sheila: Yeah. That’s why we just have to make sure that we’re just that much more careful.

Deacon: You’re not hearing me. We can’t see each other anymore.

Sheila: You know what? Don’t lie to yourself.

Deacon: Sheila, this has to end!

Sheila: You… you can’t stop seeing me, can you?

Deacon: No. No, I can’T.

Bill: I’m telling you, this whole thing with sheila and sharpe, it could be a problem. I don’t like it.

Ridge: I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem. You’re her number one guy. You could give her things that deacon can’T.

Bill: Well, she’s right about that. I mean, all sharpe can do is make her pizza and license plates.

[ Ridge chuckling ] I’m her protector. I’m her defender. When my kids are telling me to come to my senses. When steffy is telling me that I have to protect her and my granddaughter. When katie is telling me that she’s gonna take will away from me. I have to stand there like a freaking mummy. I can’t say a word. And sheila, sheila tells everybody to get lost. Do you know how intensely frustrating that is?

Ridge: It’s necessary.

Bill: Well, it better pay off.

Ridge: It will pay off. You think you have problems? It pains me to say this because I don’t wanna like you, but this is working because of you. We’re gonna put sheila away because of you, when you get her confession.

Bill: If, ridge. If I get her confession. This was supposed to be a slam dunk. She’s so grateful to me, I just say a few kind words, I tell her I understand her and that’s it, but– but no. No, we’ve had to go way past that. I’ve had to play things I can’t even imagine. And then this catatonic stoicism due to deeply painful emotions. I had to reach for things in my life that I put away a long time ago. How long? How long do I have to play this broken, lost man who’s only found love in the arms of sheila carter? Sheila carter!

Ridge: How long? You know how long! As long as it takes to get the truth. So whatever you have to do, I’m sorry. If you have to go to your past and open up wounds, I’m sorry! We need her confession!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

If it wasn’t Stefano, then who was the last person in that chamber? I never said it wasn’t Stefano, but you strongly implied it, and you said that you kept that person alive for over a decade and impressed his feet even for you. You are impressed. Well, we are women of science. Of course we are. Yeah. And I would think that you would be dying to tell people about your achievement.

So am might not share it with us. I mean, who are we going to tell you raise a good point. I suppose I wouldn’t her to brag a little about one of my great successes.

There’s no sense in drawing this out any longer. You might as well go ahead and kill her. No, no, no. You don’t wanna do that Megan. Call him off. Kate, you destroy the serum, but you see you to me now. I’ll do what you want. Just give me a second chance. No, Bo No. You know you don’t want to do it. Oh, I think he.

Actually, she’s right. Thank you. Oh, what are you doing? This could get messy. You don’t want blood all over the lab, do you? Ah, good point. How about to take this outside? Great idea. Kill her outside and then leave her to rot. Hmm.

Thank you so much, Andrew. I’ll be in touch.

The Isa granted visiting privileges for Harris. Michaels great. Let’s go. No, no, no. Hold on. You too. Should hit back to Salem. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t want us to come along. John, this is something I need to do in my own.

I have brought people back from the dead, of course, but in this case, I think you will be awestruck as well as jubilant. When I tell you that’s a person in question is, look what we have here. I do hope I’m not interrupting anything. No, it’s fine. And just asking me questions about my new serum. Rolf was just telling us that you were planning to use it on Kate, like she’s some kind of Guinea pig.

Where is she? What have you done with her? Well, you don’t need to worry about those tests anymore. Kate refused to cooperate, so she’s gonna suffer a different trait now.

Okay. Megan’s gone. You know, you don’t have to follow her orders. You can, you can say that I got away, or the, the gun jams. I know you don’t wanna do this.

Move

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

Ah, Katie, will I ever hear from you again? What will it take to make you reach out?

Do I have to plot another murder?

Maybe I’m crazy. I just imagined it all.

Okay. That’s good. That’s good. I think this is a perfect place for you to die. Okay. Look, I, I, I don’t know what Megan stands to you. Oh, no, not about her. Okay, well that’s good because she’s crazy and you need to get the hell away from her bow. Elena, Kayla and I, we all know you. This is not you. So me the real blow.

See a sweetheart of a guy most of the time, but you are definitely not a stone cold assassin. Okay? Do you know how many people are going to beat overwhelmed by the fact that you’re so alive? You need to think about. Okay. Because you loved her, why would she think if she saw you like this?

Ms. Brady, welcome to Isa PSYOPs. Thank you, agent Rose and uh, Ms. We’re so honored to have you visit us. Agent Donovan called and said you were coming, but not to fango out. You and your late husband are kind of legends around here. That’s very flattering. Thank you. My condolence is on his death. Thank you.

You must still miss him every day. Commander Michaels is in here. Yes, right inside. May I please see? Of course.

We’re never getting out of this door. Now I wanna tell Megan comes back for us. What do you think she’s planning now? I mean, saying that Kate is going to suffer a different kind of fate. I, after all she’s been through, um, she did find a cure for the virus. She put us into a cryogenic state until she decides to wake us up, but she wanted to keep us alive for some reason.

Remember Ralph said that she was planning on using the serum on Kate. I don’t know. I think Megan’s new plan sounds ominous at best. Yeah. Do you think I’m overreacting? No, I don’t. I think we’re in a world of trouble here.

Do you think it might have been shortsighted for you to order bull to kill our test subject? How so? You can make a new serum, right? Yes, but it’ll take time. Fine. And we still have two women that we can test it on. Megan, don’t question me Wolf. Get to work very well

and no more procrastinating. It’s been months since Bo and I were reunited. We all the respect, you’ve already waited 40 years. And I don’t want to wait any longer than I have to.

Oh my God, it works. Bone. You’re conscious.

It’s me, Megan. Oh, what’s darling? I knew you would come back.

Can you say something, please?

What’s hope?

I literally brought that man back to life and all he could think about was her. Yes, you gave me quite an earful about it at the time. Why do you have luck? Megan, let me outta here. I have to fly my wife. Come on. I gotta find hope. Megan,

Ralph. Thank God. Last thing I remember I was in the park. I was dying in hopes. I have to get to her. As you can hear this must stop is you’ve taken me away from a very important project your brother Stephan did. I don’t care about that. Megan, I need you to make this stop. I cured more of his brain tumor.

And I need you to cure him of Hope Brady,

I did as you asked. Yes, but it didn’t turn out as I expected.

Why would I care what hope thinks? Because she’s your wife. Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but ex-wife got a divorce. Okay, well, there’s the mother of another one of your exes whose heart she broke. I know all too well that hope was the one great love of your life and that you never got over it. Isn’t that true?

Oh, what a beautiful story. Okay. Time to die. Okay. Is at least, uh, take this. Take my wedding. So you can return it to Roman.

Sorry man. I know you’re closed. Not to you guys. Come on.

Right. What are you, uh, doing back to her? What’s going on? Did you find Megan? Well, not exactly bud. We got an. What’s going on? Your nephew, Andrew did us a real solid, let us access ISA records. So we found out where Megan went after she left Ruckus. We got there. It was too late. She’d already cleared out. So that was the end the line.

Maybe not. We went into Hope. Oh, yep. What was she doing? Same thing we were doing, I suppose. She has an idea that Harris Michaels might know something that could lead us to Megan. Well, if he does that, bastard’s never gonna tell. Maybe, maybe not. You see, when he was in Montreal, he indicated to hope that he thinks maybe he.

Was brainwashed by Megan, so if she used the same techniques on him that she used on us, he could be reachable. Kayla got through to me. Marla and Paul were able to reach John help figures. She gets a face-to-face with Michaels. She might have a breakthrough there also, but Harris never really loved hope, did he?

I guess we’ll see about that.

You got him locked down pretty tight with good reason. Commander Michaels has been quite uncooperative. I can’t say that surprises me. Advised arrangement after he sent the third agent to the hospital. Thank you. One of our top psychoanalysts Donovan’s wife. Has met with him several times, but he’s been highly resistant to treatment.

Yes. So I see. I’d like you to let me in there with him alone. Yes, Erin. It’s some privacy that would be inadvisable. As I said, he’s very dangerous. Yes, I understand an agent Rose, but I need to look him straight in the eye for this to. I can call Shane if you’d like. It won’t be necessary. I trust you. Thank you.

Here’s your panic button.

We’ll be right outside if you. Thank you agent.

Hello, hope.

It’s been a long time.

I had such high hopes at first.

What? What is happen? What, bro? What are you doing to me? Just relax. Bob. You’ve been through a little procedure. That’s all procedure. What kind of procedure on your brain just need to make sure that it’s worked?

How does that make you.

Ah, excellent. As I said, , the procedure worked exactly as intended. Yes. He no longer wanted hope, and he was loyal to me. He did everything I asked him to. But the spark between us, the the spark was gone.

What’s with the yearbook? Well, it’s our yearbook though. Don’t you remember? We are a voted best couple. Yeah, so well, we could be that happy again, . That was a long time ago, but the feelings can come back. I know they can.

He was supposed to love me. I warned you that a procedure could not create romantic feelings out of nothing. They’re not nothing. They’re just. Dormant. Now, this serum, this serum had better work as you promised when Megan’s said that Kate was going to suffer a different kind of fate. Now, do you think that she was just trying to scare us to get us to behave?

I mean, why would she kill Kate after she had gone through so much trouble to revive her? Well, she wouldn. And even if that were her intention, I, Katie was just, she’s resourceful and, and she’s able to talk her way out of any dire situation. I know she will. Here again, as I recall, you and Roman were over a long time ago.

Well, we got back together again recently and actually we got. On my deathbed, although it was the first time, you know, because I got sick and then I recovered and then I relapsed, and then apparently I died. And yet here I am. Which is pretty miraculous. Wouldn’t you say ? No, no. Ralph made it happen. Have Megan’s request.

Oh, well Ralph makes a lot of things happen, doesn’t he? Did you see I’m a survivor? You’re a survivor. Roman’s a survivor. Do you remember, do you remember saying goodbye to him on that beach when you thought he was dead? Because Roman loves me. If you kill his wife, he’s gonna be devastated. Is that what you want?

So you only think that hope can get through this Harris, my close guy. I mean, he might not know anything even if, uh, she gets in to talk and after the way he got the upper hand on both of you. Oh, hey, we were on Bush, man. Come on. That’s right. Hey, we’ve been prepared on that. Hey, relax. Okay. I’m not questioning your skills.

All right. I’m just worried about hope. The point is he is in ISA custody. It’s a highly controlled situation. We wanted to go with. , but she insisted she had to do this on her own and you know how damn headstrong she can be. Yeah. She almost got herself killed last time she got involved with this guy. I hope she’s being safe this time.

What are you doing here? Why would you even want to talk to me after everything I did to you and your family?

The last time we saw each other in Montreal, you said you thought Megan had done something to you, brainwash. You said that you wanted help. We got you that help Harris, but I’m confused because ever since then you have fought it every step of the way. Why is that? I was lying. I said whatever it took to mitigate that.

Punish. No, no, no. I don’t. I don’t believe you. If they were two, you’d still be keeping up with that. No, I think that you are still fully under a million’s control and why? It’s the reason why you wouldn’t open up to Kimberly, and that’s why I only see the real you when we’re alone. Harris, look at me, Harris.

I came all this way today.

Remind you of what we had. There was nothing between us. We had was a card. I was just playing you to get to the prisons just like you were playing me. No, it’s not true. Not in the beginning. I wasn’t. Here is something, something grew between us. Before I realized that you were after the prison, you said it yourself.

It’s the reason you couldn’t pull the trigger. When Megan had urged you to kill me, I said what you wanted to hear. Yeah, yeah, I know. To communicate your punishment. I heard you.

All right

then. Tell me this. Why? Why did Megan have to hire Thomas Banks? Put him up in the rafters to kill me? You could’ve killed me. You could’ve done it from two feet away. It’s a backup plan. Why am I still alive, Harris?

Because I failed. No,

because you succeeded. You succeeded. Aris, you stopped.

I am alive because of you.

You felt something for me.

You still do. It’s real. It is.

I.

What about you?

Do you feel something for me too?

Do you don’t hope is risking her life? Is it worth it, Roman? Megan’s out there somewhere behaving like a true Demir Stephanie’s daughter through and through who knows what she could be planning right now to hurt even more people we love. She’s still a threat. We need to stop her. Whatever it takes. As you recall, I made no promises, but if it works, This serum will allow you and Bo to go back again and start at the beginning.

It’s about time my flight was delayed from Jakarta and frankly, I’m not even sure why you summit me. I thought my work was done. Not quite. Although Bo has forgotten his feelings for hope, then what’s the problem? The problem is, That the spark between us, between bow and I is gone. And how do you suppose I can change that?

What are you asking me to do? I read an article in the Salem Spectator the other day about an orchid that seems to have magical healing properties and or could you grew in your lab before it disappeared? And what does that have to do with. I’m just wondering if you might be able to use it to help bow and me to turn back time.

Ah, you want to reverse the aging process? Oh, and I lost so much. And you think the orca could be your own personal fountain of youth? Almost as good as a time. Is it possible? I know you told the police that it’s gone, but I wonder if you might not know where I can get my hands on it. Actually, I do.

When we’re young, again, like when we first met, I know he’ll love. Instead of just following my orders like a loyal soldier, you know, he has never once questioned what I’ve asked him to do or why.

No one knew he was in Salem. They all still think he’s dead and they’ll never know otherwise. Come on, we’re Homan thinks you’re dead. I pull this trigger. We’ll make a damn bit of difference to him. I know, because eventually he will find out what you. I guess the truth always comes out, doesn’t it? Both. I don’t really care if the truth comes out.

I don’t care about Roman. You know? I don’t believe that. I really don’t. I mean, I think that you’re lying to yourself because I think everything that I’ve said to you deep down has struck a chord with the real vore who is devoted to his family, who adores his sisters, Kimberly and Kayla and his brother Roman, and his children and his grand children.

Sean, Douglas, Sierra, Zach, Claire, Chelsea. I mean, you could forget about Chelsea, your daughter. With my Billy. I mean, I can see you trying to deny that you have feelings for hope, even for Roman, because certainly those relationships are fraught. They, they’re complicated. There’s not a baggage there. But the parents love for their child.

That is pure, that is unshakable, even in the worst of circumstances. So you see Chelsea is my flesh and blood. Blood. You wanna see blood? I’ll show you blood. Listen to me. You are not going to break Chelsea’s heart by killing her grandmother. You and I. That you are not going to pull that trigger. You know that I will only to shut you up.

So you were together for a whole year. When you kissed me, I felt something that wasn’t just part of the game.

Come on hope. I want the. Okay. The truth,

as much as I wanted to stay disconnected, there were moments I thought something,

okay, I admitted it. I can, I can you Can you admit?

Or maybe, um,

Me just think about what Megan was willing to do to get revenge on hope. Yeah, on a pure spine. Well, just because Bo lived another woman, it’s not like she could have ’em anyway. Now. and if she has succeeded in getting hope out of the way. Yeah, I still can’t believe it. I mean, Megan Hathaway is still alive and our wives are damnit.

You know what guys? I mean, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. I mean, I, I tell people, you know that Kate is talking to me from the great beyond

through an.

So have you picked up on anything from her lately? Now she’s gone silent and that’s what makes me wonder. I mean, did I. Did I imagine that Paulina herd of two?

I saw Kayla. She came to me. John, what about you? What about you? Did anything like that happen to you? Did you ever hear from Martin Le?

I haven’t heard anything at all from Doc. I thought appealing to to Ralph’s ego might get us somewhere. It was getting us somewhere. I’m sure that he was about to tell us who was in that fourth chamber when Megan walked in. Not that it even matters now. But it might because if somebody had been in there and they got away, maybe if they’re friendly, they was able to come back, they could help us escape.

You don’t think My relationship with Chelsea was complicated. She’s responsible for the death of one of my kids. I know, and you got past that because of your love hurt. Both, you know, Chelsea and Max London now because they’re, they’re so happy. Bella and Shawn are happy. Sierra and Sierra and Banner sailing around the world just like you would hope to, but you know who’s not happy?

Hope hope’s miserable because she, because she misses. And you could, you could fix that. You have another chance. I, there’s no fixing that. It was over a decade ago. Let’s see. So you’re just, what? You’re just meeting’s lap dog now. So some may think it’s selfish of me to keep them all to myself, but I brought him back to life.

And I’ve loved him faithfully all these years. , which is more than anyone else can say, I deserve this. I deserve him.

Dr. Marlena, Evan. Dead virus claims. Third victim. I had no idea that you get sick again, sorry ladies,

but I needed this beauty for myself.

Oh, hey, what are you doing?

What are these women doing here? Oh, they’re here for us though. You see, with their help, you and I are gonna get back all the time that we lost and finally live halfway ever after.

When you got here a few weeks ago, Ralph, I gave you this facility and the plant continues to thrive. You can make limitless amounts of the serum. Quantity is not the issue. Assuming every single is just planned. When the testing process is complete and we are able to administer it, foe and I will be young again and we can start all over from the.

This time he’ll stay and he’ll love me forever and ever and hope will go off of some other poor stop.

Do not try to play me again.

You know, I can stamp your neck in an instant. You could, but you won’t. You can’t. Any more than he could bring yourself to pull the trigger. God, I went into yours.

You’re making sweet just like I was. You still are. Do you want that woman to get away with everything she’s done?

Like you give it down what happens to me? I do.

Course I Care. Harris, we’re not our only victims.

She kill my sister-in-law, Kayla and her brother, Roman’s wife, Kate Roberts, and hi. John Black’s wife. She’s, she’s killed a lot of people I love and care her about greatly.

Why should that matter to me? Because you were so much more than a trained assassin. You are a Navy hero. Before Megan got ahold of you, you were a good man. You were an honorable man, a good and honorable. You forget the fact that I killed two men. That wasn’t you. That wasn’t you. Doesn’t change the fact that that was the brainwashing Harris, you have the chance, the opportunity to get your life back.

To get back what’s real.

Don’t you want that? I wanna help you. Let me, let me help you and then you can help me make sure that Megan never hurts anyone ever again.

I, them, I don’t, I don’t care what Megan did,

didn’t do it for me. Harris,

do it from me.

Good coffee man. We’ll let you know if we hear anything from Hope. Hang here to Roman. Yes, you too.

Damn. A hell of a wind man. Looks like uh, we’re in for storms. Yeah, that’s what they say. Okay. You guys be careful out there. Yeah. All right.

You okay? Oh yeah. Quiet time’s the hardest, I guess. I keep trying to reach out somehow to John and my family. Have to know how much I love them. Oh, I end up picturing in there the pain. Hello. I remember how I breathed for Steve when I thought I’d lost him, went on for years. And to think about our families going through that, well motivate us to get out of here.

That’s what it’s

don’t.

Ms. Brady, is everything all right? Yes, everything is. Perfect. In fact, manager Michaels has agreed to another session with Dr. Brady Donovan and I have a feeling that, uh, he’s gonna be a lot more cooperative this time around.

No, I mean, nobody’s lap dog really. That’s not what it. Like to me, I mean, this is Megan’s idea. This was in your idea. Take her outside and, and, and kill her. Now, I don’t know. It, to me, you just look like a glorified Aaron boy, I pray you’re right. You know as well as anybody that we have to keep our faith right now.

We are going to get out of here. The two of us and Kate, so you think this is the best time to insult me? , I, I, I don’t know. I. It’s just that I’m surprised. I’m really surprised. I wouldn’t think that you would fall in with a two bit wannabe Ste like, Megan, stop, stop, stop. Or what? I mean, you’re gonna shoot me because that’s what Megan expects you to do.

I, I don’t know. I don’t understand where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown off this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames. I mean, this is not an action movie. This is real life, my life. And yours for the next few seconds anyway.

Fine. That’s fine. I, I just never expected to see you go out this way. I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man I, that though Brady, I did not follow orders, did hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo. Right now we think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it.

Someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway. How about Chris? I want you dead. Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, Pull that trigger. Shoot me.

Did you hear that the deed is done. I heard now you need to get back to work and make some more of that serum so we can test her Marlena and. And if it works, then it had better control. And I will be young and in love, and we will finally have our happily ever after. Ah, it’s done. I know. I heard the gunshot.

I’m very proud of you though. Okay, now look, I’ve got something else that I need for you. I don’t give a damn what you need. I don’t take orders from you, lady. It’s over.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Well, welcome home! How was your romantic getaway with diane? You know, you didn’t stay away as long as I expected.

Jack: No, we cut the trip a little shorter than we planned.

Traci: Well, judging from the smile on your face, it looks like it was the drama-free escape you were hoping for.

Jack: It was very relaxing. And I have some exciting news.

Traci: Oh, well, I love exciting news. It’s so much better than that normal news.

Jack: We decided to keep this just with the immediate family, okay?

Traci: By coincidence, i am immediate family. Now, come on. Stop stalling. What you got for me?

Jack: I proposed to diane. And, lucky me, she accepted.

Traci: Oh, my god. Jack, that is exciting news. Oh, I’m so, so happy for you.

Jack: Thank you, traci. Thank you.

Traci: Ohh. This happened awfully quickly.

Jack: Yeah, I know. It was the timing, the romantic setting. Everything just fell together. It was perfect.

Traci: Oh, I just knew it.

[ Laughs ] I knew that you were going to be able to find this kind of love again. I know you didn’t see it, and i know you were content to immerse yourself in the arms of your family, but it just makes me so happy that you’re so happy. You have the biggest, most loving heart of anyone I’ve ever known. And if anyone deserves this, it’s you.

Jack: I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. And I’m not sure everyone else is gonna be quite so enthusiastic.

Jeremy: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh, god. What are you — what are you — what are you doing, yelling my name? I just made this whole show that I washed my hands of you and your plans for diane. I — I — I just made a big deal out of it. W-we can’t be seen here together. That’s why we’re meeting in your room.

Jeremy: I just finished my morning workout, and my endorphins are in overdrive. Now I’m ready to sit down and discuss next steps.

Phyllis: Okay, well, let’s do that, but let’s leave before we get busted. Let’s go and get out of this…

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I should have known. Every word out of your mouth was a big, fat lie.

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Good morning.

Lily: Hello. Morning.

Daniel: Is everything okay? Are you ready for your arbitration hearing?

Lily: Um, yeah, everything’s fine. I just — I didn’t sleep very well last night.

Daniel: Figured as much, seeing that very large cup of coffee. Did you ask them if they’d sell it to you by the gallon?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Hey, uh, I was hoping maybe we could chat for a couple minutes before you head off to face this battle with devon.

Lily: Yeah. No, I have a lot I have to get done right now.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, whoa, come on. Just sit with me for a minute. Maybe I can help you work through some of this anxiety.

Lily: Okay, daniel, I know that you think that maybe you can help solve things with devon and me, but we’re way past that point.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa. Hold on. You’re wrong. I know that that’s not an option anymore. I just want to make sure that you’re not second-guessing yourself.

Abby: How are you feeling? You got up a couple times last night.

Devon: Yeah, that was just to get water. I’m okay, though.

Abby: You don’t sound worried at all.

Devon: No. I mean, there’s — there’s no point to worry about something i can’t control. I know I have one of the best attorneys in christine. And she’s gonna put together a great case for me to keep control of hamilton-winters.

Abby: Yeah. I mean, I don’t doubt that at all. I just… you know, the one thing we haven’t talked about is the opposing counsel. This is gonna be the first time you’ve seen amanda since the two of you broke up.

Devon: Right. I still can’t believe that lily even did that in the first place, to bring my ex back, to twist the knife even more.

Abby: I know how difficult this is gonna be for you. And I want to go. I want to be there by your side. I want to support you.

Devon: I know. I know, and I appreciate you wanting to do that, but I really don’t think it’s a good idea if you come.

Daniel: Lily, you are a decisive leader, who is capable of making tough decisions. And I also know how important family is to you.

Lily: Yeah, it’s the whole reason behind this merger in the first place.

Daniel: Right. I mean, you pinned all your hopes on building a company and family that was working together. I know that you poured your heart and soul into making that a reality.

Lily: Well, I thought it would be a success.

Daniel: Right. Because business plus family equals success.

Lily: Yes, I know. It’s a faulty formula.

Daniel: Well, maybe this time there were just too many variables. I’m not really a math guy, so… look, all I can tell you is every time I would have a show, you know, an exhibit that was disappointing or even a single painting that just didn’t feel right, I would always wind up doing a postmortem afterwards. I’d analyze every aspect of it and try and figure out what went wrong.

Lily: Right, so that you could see how to do it better next time.

Daniel: Exactly.

Lily: Yeah, that’s exactly what I was doing last night. I just kept going over and over in my mind of how we ended up here. I just — I wish that devon and I could figure out an amicable solution.

Daniel: But you tried.

Lily: Yeah, I tried everything. I offered to give him the company name, told him I missed him and I wanted to work things out between us.

Daniel: I’m sure you did everything that you could. And you need to be clear about that when you walk into that arbitration. You didn’t want this fight. You did everything in your power to try and keep things from getting this far off the rails. There were just too many variables.

Lily: Why are you telling me this?

Daniel: ‘Cause I want you to stop beating yourself up and just accept the fact that you’re absolutely right to do whatever it takes to win.

Abby: I don’t get it. Why don’t you want me to go with you? I mean, I want to be there for you. Is this about amanda?

Devon: No, it’s not entirely.

Abby: Because I know how complicated this is for you emotionally, and I want to be there. I want to support you. I mean, are you worried that it’s gonna be awkward seeing her again with me by your side?

Devon: No, this is not about me. It’s about you. I’m thinking about you. Do you want to be in that room and sit across from her and know that she’s gonna do whatever she has to do and say whatever she has to say to win?

Abby: Alright, what are you so worried about? Are you scared that I’m not gonna be able to keep my mouth shut, that I’m gonna tell lily and amanda exactly what I think about what they’re doing?

Devon: No. You’re more than welcome to do that.

Abby: ‘Cause I promise I just want to be there for you. I want to support you. I want to have your back.

Devon: You want to know how to support me the best?

Abby: How?

Devon: I want you to stay home with our son and have the best day possible so that, no matter what happens in that hearing today, I know that I can come home to the both of you.

Abby: Okay.

Devon: Okay?

Abby: Yeah, fine. I will stay here with dominic, and we will have so much fun. But when you get home, we’re gonna throw our arms around you and give you lots of love and kisses and remind you of all the good things in your life. But I’m gonna be thinking about you every second of the day.

Devon: Well, I’ll be thinking about you, too. You have any idea how grateful i am for you? I mean it. You and dominic are everything to me.

Phyllis: Uh, excuse me, diane. I didn’t lie.

Diane: Oh, really? What do you call that phony emotional outpouring you gave jack and me at society? “Oh, I would never have anything to do with him. He’s dangerous. He’s a bad guy.”

Phyllis: I am shocked to see him here. I thought he was on his way to europe, so…

Diane: You’re lying, phyllis, and you know it. It’s obvious that jeremy never left town. And you know how I know that? Because he’s right here.

Jeremy: Hold on, diane. Phyllis is telling the truth.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jeremy: I was on the jet, i was on my way, and I realized i forgot my lucky socks. So I turned around, come back to get them.

Diane: Oh, for pete’s sake.

Jeremy: Oh, come on, diane. You remember my lucky socks. I don’t dare conduct business without them. But the big surprise is that you’re back in town. What happened? Did you and jack get sick of each other already?

Diane: Well, I’ll admit we left town to get away from you, but then we realized what a mistake it was. Why should we let you have that kind of control over our lives? So we decided to simply ignore you and come back. Because, you see, jeremy, your tactics aren’t going to work on me. I’m not afraid of you now. You have no power over me.

Phyllis: Wow. Did you buy that? I didn’T. We used to struggle with greasy messes.

Devon: Are you gonna talk to your dad about him seeing you come downstairs in my shirt?

Abby: Ohh, yeah. I’m probably not gonna talk to him about that today because, um, I want to focus on you and everything that you have going on. Promise me that you will take to heart everything that christine has to say. And don’t let your anger get in the way. Just let her guide you through this.

Devon: I will not lose it. I promise.

Abby: Okay. ‘Cause I know that that anger is really coming from the hurt that you’re feeling. And, trust me, I understand. But lily will do anything to win, and she’ll probably use that to provoke you. This is about law and contracts. It’s not about family issues or an ex with an ax to grind.

Devon: I know. I know that. And I’m gonna leave it all outside the door. And I will not let my personal feelings affect what happens in that hearing, okay?

Abby: Okay.

Traci: Can you believe it, nikki? Tonight’s the night. It’s finally here. Thank you, honey. Thank you. The genoa city bicentennial gala. Oh, my gosh, we’ve been working so hard to pull all of this together, and it’s finally, finally gonna happen.

Nikki: Oh, I know, but it seems like there’s still so much to do. Oh, we are expecting a lot of press, local and national, so please double-check the rsvp list.

Traci: I have done that, and everything is accounted for. Um, and you’re absolutely right. There are going to be some amazing vips, both locally and nationally.

Nikki: Ah, fantastic. Just as we had hoped.

Traci: Yes. And how about you? Were you able to go over the numbers with michael and lauren for the caterer? The last thing we need is to run out of alcohol or food on a night like this.

Nikki: Oh, tell me about it. No, no, no, no. They are all set. They finalized the arrangements this morning.

Traci: Everything’s going to be perfect. This is the biggest event in genoa city in a really long time.

Nikki: Absolutely. This is going to be an unforgettable celebration, bringing together the former and current members of our community.

Traci: Oh, it’s so exciting.

Nikki: [ Sighing ] Oh. My only regret is that you and I didn’t get to spend a lot of one-on-one time together planning it.

Traci: Ah, I know, nikki. It’s just there was too much to do!

Nikki: That’s for sure. Well, it’s all coming together now. And things are almost set for a special presentation we have planned, too.

Traci: I am so looking forward to it. But you know what? The entire evening is going to just be spectacular. There’s something about a masked ball that really speaks to the novelist in me.

Nikki: Well, you’re right. There always seems to be a hint of intrigue and romance in the air when people arrive masquerading in a world of fantasy.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: It should prove for a magical evening.

Traci: It’s my kind of party.

[ Laughs ] And, you know, the timing is just perfect, as well. I think that we really needed a joyous occasion like this, especially in light of recent events.

Nikki: Recent events? Like what? Are you talking about something specific?

Traci: [ Sighs ]

Diane: It makes perfect sense the two of you found each other. It’s just a match made in hell.

Phyllis: Hell. What was that like? I mean when you died. But you didn’t really die. Hey, but tell me — when you fake die, do you go to fake hell? How does that work?

Diane: Trust me, phyllis, you won’t be going to fake hell. I can’t believe you went running to kyle and summer with the news that jeremy had left town, knowing full well that they would relay that information to jack and me. You wanted to get us back to town and put us in danger. Shame on you! And you know what? I bet there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation before using your own daughter as a pawn in your scheme. How low can you go?

Phyllis: Is it hard for you to manufacture this level of outrage? Is that difficult? You know, the thing about you from before — at least you knew that you were a terrible person. But now it’s like you’ve just bought this fairy tale that you’ve created of, you know, saintly reform.

Diane: I have reformed.

Phyllis: Okay, now you’re just a hypocrite.

Jeremy: You were so much more fun when you were taylor jensen back in L.A.

Diane: I have apologized for my mistakes, and I have made every effort to prove that I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Okay, but, see, there’s still quite a few people who don’t believe that. There’s still a few people who will never forgive or forget what you did to them. And those people will be so happy if someone comes along and makes you pay for what you did. I mean, I’m not one of those people. But, anyway…

Diane: I hope that two of you enjoy each other’s company. I can’t think of two people who deserve each other more.

Phyllis: I don’t even know him.

Diane: It must really bother you, though, that all your attacks against me have only made me stronger and even more united with jack.

Phyllis: You actually believe that. Seriously? Things must not be that great between you and jack, or else you wouldn’t feel the need to scream it from the rooftops.

Diane: Mm. Yeah. You know what? It’s — it’s fascinating that you keep insisting that you don’t have any romantic interest in jack, and yet, my gosh, you’re so obsessed with the fact that we’re in love and we’re back together again.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I’m not obsessed, and you don’t have the capacity for love.

Jeremy: Unless you can fall in love with a bank account.

Phyllis: Well, look at that. He knows you very well.

Diane: Alright, alright, you guys can just keep attacking me. But pretty soon you are going to hear some news that lets you know your hatefulness won’t win. I don’t care what either of you think. I don’t have the time or the energy for your nonsense.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Traci: I’m just talking in general terms about things that have happened lately, nothing specific. You know, there’s just been a lot of circumstances that have affected a lot of us on many levels.

[ Sighs ] I think it’s a really great thing that we’re all going to get together to celebrate this historic event. Nikki, 200 years! It’s just important to bring people together to celebrate something positive and uplifting, right?

Nikki: Traci, you’re not a very good liar.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I know.

Nikki: So, what news were you talking about? Something at the abbott house? Diane and jack’s rekindled romance? Or were you referring to the fact that jeremy stark is back in town?

Traci: Jeremy stark. Why would you bring him up?

Nikki: Oh, I’m sure you’ve heard plenty about that man, all the danger that he poses to every one of us. And just for the record, luring him back to town was strictly phyllis’s idea.

Devon: I’ll see you.

Abby: Mm. I’m still worried.

Devon: You’re still worried.

Abby: I’m still worried.

Devon: For what? What are you worried about?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Honestly, what do you think’s gonna happen? You think I’m gonna hear something that amanda says and just freak out and start yelling at people and flipping chairs over or what?

Abby: No, nothing that dramatic, but I know you have that in you. Look, I have seen you passionate, I have seen you angry, and most people just see cool, calm devon. Nothing rattles you. But I know there’s a lot underneath the surface.

Devon: Well, it makes me happy that we’ve been in each other’s lives for long enough that you do know that about me.

Abby: But you know who else knows that about you?

Devon: Who?

Abby: Lily and amanda. And I don’t want them to use it against you.

Devon: I’m prepared, though.

Abby: Are you?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Okay. Because what if amanda — sit down. What if she gets in your face with a lot of questions?

[ Sighs ] “Mr. Hamilton, why should anyone believe you in these proceedings? You are a known liar, philanderer, and heartbreaker. You probably cheated in these business dealings the same way you cheated on me. So, why should anyone believe anything that you have to say?” Okay, that was probably a little too far, but, you know, something along those lines.

Devon: I understand what you’re doing, and, yeah, I know, she’s — yeah, she might say that.

Abby: Yeah, and we have to prepare for all contingencies.

Devon: Well, you’re preparing both of us.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: How can you be so calm? There is so much at stake.

Devon: Because I know that no matter what happens today, I’m always gonna be able to come home to my life, which is you and dominic.

Abby: Yes, and that will never change, but…

Devon: Right.

Abby: I know how much this means to you.

Devon: Sure, it means a lot to me, but in the grand scheme of things… it’s like — it’s like that talk that we had a long time ago about love.

Abby: When was that?

Devon: You don’t remember that? It was a while back. I don’t know exactly what i said, but I remember that we both agreed that real love and a real relationship is when you can count on the person to catch you when you’re falling. And I know that no matter what happens today in that hearing, you and dominic are gonna catch me.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: [ Breathes deeply ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Door slams ]

Jack: Hey. What’s got you so riled up?

Diane: You will never guess who I ran into at the grand phoenix. Phyllis and jeremy stark, thick as thieves.

Jack: Wait. He’s already back in town?

Diane: He never even left. We were right to suspect that phyllis was lying when she said that he had flown off to europe. And no doubt she was also lying when she said that she didn’t want anything to do with his plans for me.

Jack: Unbelievable.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: What am I saying? Of course it’s believable. It’s phyllis. She never changes. It’s not bad enough that she decided to throw in with this man. She dragged summer and kyle into it, too. She lied to them and used them to deliver her lies to us.

Diane: It was all a plan to get us to let our guard down. They wanted us to think that the coast was clear so that we would come running back to town.

Jack: The question is why? What are those two planning?

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: What was that about? I mean, what is going on? What news is diane talking about? What is she up to?

Jeremy: Who cares? It doesn’t matter.

Phyllis: No, it does matter. She’s the bane of my existence. She is psychotic, okay? You give her an inch, she’ll take a mile.

Jeremy: Okay, I can’t let you get distracted. That’s exactly what diane wants. Whatever plan that she and jack have will be a moot point soon, okay? They’re planning a future together that’s never gonna happen, not if everything comes off the way we want. We have to focus on our plan. Now, do you think you can do that?

Phyllis: I got this, okay?

Jeremy: Now, I need your full attention on this next move. You take care of your end, I’ll take care of the rest. But I need to know — are you still on board with this 100%? Knowing where you came from,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I occasionally get bladder leaks.

Jack: Whatever they are up to, I am not surprised that stark managed to get his hooks into phyllis. I am deeply disappointed. She has clearly let her hatred for you consume her to the point of no return. She has alienated everyone in her life.

Diane: And that’s exactly the kind of vulnerability that jeremy preys on. He’s playing on her emotions perfectly — not that I’m excusing phyllis’s part in this, not at all. And it doesn’t help that she sees us getting closer. It’s only making her even more dangerous.

Jack: Why does that even matter to her? It’s not like we have a chance of getting back together. I have made that very clear.

Diane: Jack, that’s not why she’s so angry. This goes back years. Decades. We fought over you. We competed for your affection, and phyllis feels like she’s lost.

Jack: Oh, come on. That’s ridiculous.

Diane: But it’s how she feels. Losing out on your love has filled her with rage towards me, towards you, towards the world. I mean, and in her mind, she doesn’t think that I deserve to be happy. She doesn’t think that I deserve you, especially if it comes at her expense.

Jack: Well, that is troubling because there is no remedy for that. If you are right, she has painted herself into a corner.

Diane: That’s what I’m afraid of.

Jack: I have been holding out hope that the threat of losing her kids might snap her out of this. That is what’s so frustrating. I know how much she loves them. I thought that would be enough to pull her back from the brink, make her realign her priorities.

Diane: She is so full of hatred that she doesn’t care about anybody. She only cares about herself and her vendetta against me.

Jack: It doesn’t make sense. She was so happy when daniel moved back to town. She would be able to be close to him again, even after she lost her job at marchetti.

Diane: Oh, oh, oh, when summer fired her.

Jack: Yeah, even after summer fired her, she had an opportunity to work with her son. And what did she do? She squandered that, too. I’ve seen this all before. She cannot help herself. She always gives in to her worst impulses. She did it with christine. She did with sharon. God knows she’s done it with you.

Diane: Well, and no matter how terrible her behavior is, she somehow finds a way to justify it all to herself. It’s frightening. I mean, phyllis’s drama mixing in with jeremy’s twisted psyche? God only knows what they have in store for me.

Jack: Whatever it is, don’t you worry. We will handle this together, soon as husband and wife.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: We’re not going to let them or anyone else take this happiness from us.

Diane: I hope so.

Phyllis: Don’t worry about me. I’m not gonna get distracted by anything that jack and diane have planned, okay? Don’t micromanage me.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Your confidence — it never ceases to amaze me. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate you doesn’t deserve to know you.

Phyllis: That’s for sure.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] We make a pretty good team, don’t we? Together, you and I, we could light the world on fire. I can see a lot of opportunities opening up for us, endless opportunities.

Phyllis: Okay. Alright. Stay focused.

Jeremy: I am focused.

Phyllis: No. I mean focused. That’s the name of the game. You got it? Nothing else can screw up what we have planned for diane. I have waited a really, really long time for this. Hey, I’m not gonna get distracted by some really handsome, strong-shouldered ex-con, alright?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I’m flattered.

Phyllis: Don’t be.

Daniel: Listen, this is, uh, not on you. I mean, in my book, it’s all on devon. He’s the one who’s being selfish. He’s the one who’s being shortsighted. And where the heck does he get off acting like he’s the only one that can have any grief for neil?

Lily: Oh, my god. Thank you. I’ve been saying that exact same thing to him. Of course I care about what he and my dad have created together, and I honor and i respect that. And of course I want to carry on his legacy, too.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. And now you’re moving forward. You’re charting the course of what the chancellor and winters legacies are gonna look like in the future.

Lily: Right. But devon thinks he can change his mind and cling to the past and just throw away everything that we have worked so hard for.

Daniel: Right? I mean, he wants to forget about contracts, forget about agreements. He wants to forget about your time, your effort, your hard work, basically the opportunity for you to make your dream come true.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: So you need to walk into that arbitration not thinking about what your brother wants, but what you want. You know? I mean, you have built something. You are carrying on a legacy, and devon — he doesn’t have a reason or the right to tear that down. Any judge will see that.

Lily: Do you really think so?

Daniel: Of course I really think so. I wouldn’t have said it if i didn’t think so. Yes. No, you have got this. Go get him.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] No, you’re right. Thank you. I mean, I should go, but thank you. I — I really needed to hear that. Thank you.

[ Sighing ] (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

Devon: Okay. So, no more worrying, please.

Abby: I would be a lot less worried if you were more worried.

Devon: I will tell you what. After the hearing, I’m gonna come home and I’m gonna kiss you just like this. And then we’re going to spend some time playing with dominic. And then we’re going to get dressed and go and have an amazing time with at this gala tonight.

Abby: Well, that sounds wonderful. Can’t wait.

Devon: Me neither.

Abby: Good luck.

Devon: Thank you. See you.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Abby: You’ve been in love, right?

Devon: You know I have.

Abby: Well, what does it feel like? What am I missing?

Devon: Are you really asking me what love feels like?

Abby: Is that ridiculous?

Devon: No, it’s not.

[ Chuckles ] Um…

Abby: I just — I — I need an answer, some sort of point of reference.

Devon: Love is — is, um… dangerous. It can be dangerous ’cause it can pick you up and whip you around like a rag doll and you have no idea where you’re gonna land. But if it’s real, then you always know that someone’s gonna be there to catch you.

Abby: Yeah. Wow. Um… yeah, I’ve never felt like that before. Is that how you felt with roxy?

Devon: Yeah. It is. It is. I, uh… but where’s this coming from, abby?

Abby: Well, someone had the audacity to tell me that i shouldn’t be giving out relationship advice because i have never been in love.

Devon: Well, that’s not true.

Abby: Maybe it is. I mean, carmine, not love. Chavez, cute, but not love. Tyler.

Devon: That was real, right?

Abby: I don’t know. The whipped around like a rag doll part, that was — that was there, but I never knew if he was gonna be there to catch me.

Devon: That’s kind of the most important part.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Thank you.

Jeremy: Nikki newman. How lovely to see you.

Nikki: Wish I could say the same.

Jeremy: I get why you pretend to be outraged with my mere existence. I can see why, given your lofty perch in genoa city society.

Nikki: You don’t know me. I don’t care about appearances. I just don’t want you here.

Jeremy: You know, of the three women in your little group who united solely for the purpose of driving diane jenkins out of town, I find you most intriguing.

Nikki: Oh, well, I’m sure phyllis naturally will be thrilled to learn that news.

Jeremy: You’re from the other side of the tracks. You know what it means to fight and scrape to get what you want. We both share that quality.

Nikki: Let me get something straight with you, mr. Stark. Don’t make assumptions about me. And we have just barely tolerated your presence here. You have a lot of gall coming back here after being arrested for breaking into our apartment in chicago and stealing my necklace.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I was framed. I think you’re smart enough to know that.

Nikki: And I think you’re smart enough to take some advice. Don’t press your luck. Leave town. Don’t give my husband an excuse to ruin your already pathetic life.

Jeremy: I can assure you that I am no threat to you or anyone you know.

Nikki: If you say so. Try convincing victor newman of that.

Jeremy: You turned on me rather quickly, nikki. It wasn’t that long ago when you saw me as the answer for all your problems with diane. And I find it fascinating that you’re willing to let all that go. Or maybe you believe that diane is the kind of woman who will eventually get what’s coming to her.

Traci: Well, this is a surprise.

Phyllis: Ah.

Traci: Uh, hi.

Phyllis: Hi. Good to see you. Uh, I was supposed to meet summer here. She just texted me and said she’s running a few minutes late.

Traci: Oh. Uh, well, I’m sorry. I — I’m — I’ve got back-to-back meetings and I’m heading out. Um, jack and diana are upstairs with harrison. I’m sure they’ll be down in just a few minutes. I guess you could…

Phyllis: Okay.

Traci: …Wait here, um, if you want to, as long as you promise you won’t steal anything in the meanwhile.

[ Both laugh ] Bye.

Phyllis: Bye.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Diane: What the hell are you doing? I’m jonathan lawson

Nikki: I think you’re overestimating my interest in diane jenkins. I don’t give her nearly as much thought as you seem to think i do.

Jeremy: Hmm. How admirable. You know, living in anger and resentment is such a waste of energy. It could suck the soul right out of you. It took me years in a prison cell to learn that.

Nikki: Mm. And they say crime doesn’t pay.

Jeremy: It also made me realize that there’s more to life. Instead of wallowing in fury and regret, there are so many more good and uplifting things that i could be focusing on, like this gala you’re helping to throw for the town’s bicentennial.

Nikki: It’s invitation-only, and you are not invited.

Jeremy: Well, maybe not yet, but I intend to make a donation to the sponsoring body of the event — historical society. Now, my finances may be in flux, so my — my donation may be modest at best.

Nikki: It’ll take a lot more than a donation to gain admittance to our event. And I can assure you, your name will not be on the guest list, no matter how many zeroes your check might have.

Jeremy: Nonetheless, I still intend to do my small part to make this gala a success. I have no doubt this will be a night to remember.

Diane: What are you doing lurking around? How did you get in here?

Phyllis: I’m not lurking around. Summer asked me to come here. I’m meeting her, and traci let me in.

Diane: Well, summer isn’t here, and I don’t believe for one second that that’s why you’re here. And look at you, once again using your daughter for whatever it is you’re up to.

Phyllis: Okay, I have no idea what you’re talking about. You have a very paranoid imagination.

Diane: Stop it. Now that we know that you’re working with jeremy, you shouldn’t be anywhere near this house. You have made it clear that you have it in for us, and I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, here’s a text from summer. Okay. Well, she can’t meet after all. Nice chatting. See you later.

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Hey, devon.

Devon: Hey, lily.

Lily: [ Sighs ] It’s our last chance.

Devon: It’s our last chance for what?

Lily: Once we start this, there is no going back. I mean, we have to try to find some common ground, devon. Please. Please, won’t you to at least consider talking about it?

Amanda: Lily, don’t say another word.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 lucy? Have you seen lucy? No, why? Is she not in her room? No, I just checked. She said she wanted to take a bath and read martin’s letter. I didn’t hear any water running.

[ Whispering ] Lucy? She’s not in the bathroom.

[ Sighs ] Damn it! Oh! I’m so sorry, ma’am. Oh! Oh, that’s okay. Are you alright? Uncle victor, just the man I wanted to see.

[ Lowered voice ] I’m fine. Really. I promise. Shh. Are you sure? Thank you. [ Chuckles ] Bobbie: Well, that went well, don’t you think? Maxie: Better than well.

[ Chuckles ] I can only hope that lucy is someplace smiling, knowing that the nurses’ ball can get on without her.

[ Laughs ] Have you changed your mind about getting evidence against sonny? I don’t know if I’d go that far, but he could have easily left me in that warehouse. But he came back for me and probably saved my life. Thank god.

[ Sighs ] So, yeah, I’d be lying if I said that didn’t make me look at things — and at sonny — differently. Hey, what has you so enthralled? None of your business. Should I be jealous? If you must know, I am looking at wedding gowns. So it is my business. Now that we’ve decided to postpone the wedding until after the transplant, I have enough time to order a custom gown. Whatever you want. I want to walk down the aisle to you in the perfect dress, feeling strong and healthy. I want to dance at our wedding…

[ Chuckles ] …And I want to look forward to a long life together. I want that, too. And it’s gonna happen. Just ask aunt liesl. Hey. She’ll — she’ll be cleared for the transplant in time, okay? I know it.

[ Door closes ] I know it, too. Well, hello. Willow, you needed to see me? There is something only you can help me with. Carly brought donna by. Donna’s here? What a treat. Unfortunately, she’s — she’s not staying. Because of me?


Would you mind giving us a minute alone? Of course.

[ Sighs ] And no eavesdropping. Wow. Well, uh, I’m a quartermaine. Eavesdropping is kind of in my blood. Everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m good. Really? ‘Cause it doesn’t look that way to me. Look, it’s no secret that I don’t want my daughter anywhere near you, but that’s not why she’s leaving. Okay. Then why? Nina, I’ll tell you about it later. Let them go, ’cause I don’t want donna to overhear. Carly: Donna, can you come out here, please? Okay. Hey. Nina: [ Laughs ] There she is! Hi! Auntie nina! Oh! [ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ] Hi! Oh! Are you here for a sleepover? The hard truth is — sonny saving my life doesn’t change the fact that he’s breaking all kinds of laws with the pikeman deal. I’m talking federal laws. Just ’cause I’m personally grateful to the guy… doesn’t make him any less guilty. Yeah. And not for nothing, but ex-service here. Okay, violating the national security act goes against everything I trained and sacrificed for. Well, on the other hand… I’m now in sonny’s debt. Something else I don’t take lightly. And I don’t know — don’t I owe him? What would you owe him, though? A warning about what’s about to happen, or…? If you do that, you’ll be signing your own death warrant. What? Nothing?

[ Door closes ] There are footprints in the snow outside lucy’s window. She ran off while I was talking to laura. Oh, god, that is unbelievable. You know, this is all because of the nurses’ ball and the fact that she can’t face that it is going to go on without her. Motive does not matter at this point. Pack light. We’re getting out of here. Ferry to canada. Gonna go to toronto, take a flight to europe. I’m gonna contact laura, ask her what to do about charlotte. Charlotte? What are you doing? It’s risky to take her, but I’m not gonna leave her here if victor thinks we’re alive. No, no, no, no, no. Stop. Stop! What are you doing? Firstly, we can’t be sure victor thinks we’re alive. And secondly, I am not going anywhere. Maxie: Well, if we get the support from the guys we just met with, the nurses’ ball is fully funded. Up top. Bobbie: Awesome!

[ Both laugh ] That means all of the proceeds can go to hiv/aids research and charities. Yeah, I was nervous. Lucy always said these backers were a tricky bunch — “easily offended and hard to handle.” Well, I think lucy, god rest her soul, had the tendency to exaggerate prepping for the nurses’ ball. You know, it — it just made her seem more heroic, pulling it off, year after year. Yeah, that sounds like lucy.

[ Chuckles ] But look at us — we’re doing the job every bit as well as she ever did — maybe even better.

[ Chuckles ] It’s good to see you, spencer. With valentin gone and nikolas god knows where… cassadines have ever been more vulnerable. But seeing you renews my hope in our future. A future in the form of you and your little baby brother. That’s why I’m here. My little brother’s in danger, and I need your help to save him.


This was in my room. Did you leave it for me? I did. I did. The minute I saw it, I knew that you had to have it. I love it. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] You’re welcome. Will you read me the princess story tonight? I’ll wear my crown. Uh… sonny: You know — you know what? Uh… we’re gonna have a sleepover soon, but tonight you’re gonna go home to your mom, okay? But I thought I was staying here with you. Carly: I’m sorry, honey. I know, but something’s come up. But you’ll be able to have a sleepover with daddy really soon. I promise. Absolutely. Okay. Love you, baby. Love you too, daddy.

[ Chuckles ] Alrighty. Bye, princess. Alright, you ready? Yeah. Come on. We’ll talk? Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Alright, come on. And let’s make it home in time to watch a movie, and we’ll pop some popcorn. How’s that sound? Donna: Good. Okay? Alright. Go on. What just happened? Whatever you need my help with, you got it. You might want to find out what it is before you say yes. Hopefully in remission so we can [Breathes deeply] Really celebrate. Yeah. Nice. That sounds like a good plan. But I still need your help. The only father I ever knew is dead. I’d really love it if you gave me away at my wedding. I mean, overall, the news is — is good, you know? I’m all for good news. Yeah. Um, well, liesl obrecht, she’s on — she was on this — this blood-thinning medication and was waiting for it to get out of her system. She’s on track to provide willow with the bone marrow transplant. And we’re so confident that’s gonna happen that we — we rescheduled the wedding till after the transplant. That’s great. Yeah, willow, she, um — she wants the wedding to be a real party, so she wants to be done with the whole transplant and in remission, and I want that, too. But, um, it all depends on aunt liesl. And by the time she’s ready to donate — I don’t know — willow could be too weak for it to work. We’ve talked about this. If sonny has any idea that you’ve been working against him, he’ll kill you. Or, more accurately, he’ll have someone else kill you. You’re right. Okay? Tipping sonny off is a terrible idea. He really was doing me a favor, wasn’t he? Leaving me out of the planning? Yeah, he gave you deniability. And now I know too much. I can’t warn him without exposing myself. This is hard for you. It’s harder than I expected. When I took this job, that’s all it was — a job. How did you even get hired?

[ Breathes deeply ] I was working for a security firm, basically private soldiers for hire. It’s mostly short-term jobs — two, three months at a time. They sent me on this interview. The employer wanted someone like me — young enough that sonny would want to train me and take me under his wing, but… look, the job sounded interesting. I liked the idea of being stateside, of being undercover, I guess. And everything was going according to plan until you busted me and sonny threatening that tabloid reporter.

[ Scoffs ] Then everything got blown to hell. Sorry.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Never. But I started to invest in taking sonny down — not as a job, but as something that needed to happen. And then, at the warehouse… when he could have easily left me there — most employers would — but he came back, and he personally rescued me. I hate feeling like I owe him, but I do. I get it. I owe him, too. He saved you. But telling him — it’s just not an option. I know, but — but if sonny goes to prison off of evidence that I secured… I’m gonna feel pretty damn crappy about it. Well, I mean, there’s another option, and we’ve discussed it.

[ Breathes sharply ] You could disappear. Once lucy has been discovered alive, victor is going to know that we staged our deaths. What then? How long until he realizes that eileen ashby has turned against him? He’s coming after us! Yeah, you don’t think victor would try to kill you? I don’t know that, no. But I know he’ll try to kill you. And I’m not gonna let that happen. Okay, you’re jumping to conclusions. How am I jumping to conclusions? Well, the only thing that we can be certain of is the fact that lucy left the safe house. We don’t know where she is. We don’t know that anyone has seen her. We don’t? She’s the exact opposite of discretion. Okay. Well — of course somebody has seen her. We certainly don’t know that victor has spotted her. Alright? We can fix this. I can find her and bring her back. Are you out of your mind? Maxie: Okay, now, what about the mistress — or master — of ceremonies? Another area where lucy may have exaggerated her own importance. I mean, sure, she always did a terrific job, but there were so many times when the ball threatened to cross over from charity gala to “the lucy coe show.”

[ Chuckles ] Still… lucy is irreplaceable. Yeah. I don’t know. Maybe we could divvy up the emcee duties? How so? Uh, epiphany, amy, and felix — they could represent general hospital. Ned and brook lynn could represent elq. Um, maybe even… what? Well, it would mean a lot to liesl if she could be included. That’s a gamble. Trust me, I’m aware. And there would be pushback. On the other hand, her daughter was co-chief of staff. My main fear is that liesl will get up on that stage and just completely lose control.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] Just like lucy did every year.

[ Laughs ] I’ll be right back. I got to take a powder room break. Esme remains determined to keep the baby with her in prison.

[ Scoffs ] Proof that memory or no memory, she’s as selfish as she ever was. Exactly. Which is all the more reason to get my baby brother away from her. Now, is that something that you could accomplish with your… connections? I’m sure something can be worked out, but I will be needing some guarantees in return. Victor cassadine. I’ve been meaning to have a word with you about my brother.


I know how she thinks. I will be able to find her, and I’ll bring her back here. And risk you getting spotted. Listen to yourself. What? We have come too far to jump ship right now. What’s wrong with you? What? You’re better than this. I’m sorry? We’re professionals. When an op goes south, you walk quickly and quietly as possible. No. No. Not this time. No. We –you don’t stick around because sticking around gets you killed. We — we can’T. It’s too soon for us to bail. You’re over-invested. That’s what this is. What? This is about lucy. You dragged her into this. Now she’s a liability, and you can’t own up to that. You screwed up, and you can’t own up to that. That’s what this is! Do you want to stop your father? You know I want to stop my father! Okay, well, in my professional opinion, this is the best chance we have, and I am going to see it through. So, you feel free to go back to europe or wherever it is that you deem safe.

[ Door slams ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Grunts ] Jaime: Ms. Jones? Hey, jaime. Hi. Um, hotel management has been trying to reach you. Oh, no. Apparently, there’s a problem at the deception offices. One of the door alarms, they said? Gladys. She never sets it correctly. I’ll take care of it. Thank you. Luke’s passing was, indeed, tragic, but that was more than a year ago, and… as if I haven’t been counting the days since you had my brother killed. Excuse me? I did no such thing. You know, it just — it never made any sense. Luke cheated death a million times. And then he dies in some supposedly random tram accident? Right about the same time you slithered back into town. That is hardly evidence of a crime. I don’t have any proof — that’s true. Certainly nothing that would hold up in court. But I know you did it, victor. And one glorious day, you will pay.

[ Keys jingling ]

[ Beeps ] Hi. This is maxie jones at deception. Uh, I checked the office, everything looks good. And I reset the alarm on the way in. No, no, you don’t needto send anyone up. It’s all good. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Keys jingling ] Hello? Is anyone here?

[ Muffled scream ]

[ Grunts ] Joke’s on you! I know self-defense, you creep!

[ Groaning ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Lucy? I would be so honoredto walk you down the aisle. Thank you.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Thank you for — thank you for asking. I’m so — I’m truly touched. Well, I just want this wedding to be perfect. Michael’s been so wonderful through all this. Mm. He forgave me for keeping my diagnosis from him. He’s been by my side, taken… such wonderful care of me. Oh. He deserves a happily ever after.

[ Both chuckle ] Or at the very least, a kickass wedding reception.

[ Both laugh ] Well, that’s very generous that you want that for michael. But what about you? I don’t understand. What do you want, willow? For you? Right now, it’s a waiting game.

[ Sighs ] Waiting to see how long it’s gonna take the blood thinner to get out of liesl’s system. Waiting to see how long willow can keep going.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry, michael. It’s torture. Everybody tells us to s-stay positive. So what’s more positive than planning a wedding, right? It just feels like we’re pretending, you know? We’re burying our heads in the sand.

[ Sighs ] Because the truth is — I mean, the god’s honest truth is we just don’t know. We — we —

[ Breathes shakily ] We have no idea how this is gonna play out… and I don’t know what to do, brook lynn. I mean, I have no idea how to — oh. I’m sorry I’m — no, don’t be.

[ Breathes sharply ] You are being strong for everyone else, okay? You’re allowed to have a moment. Yeah, just one? As many as you need.

[ Sighs ] What is it? What?

[ Stammers ] You want to say something, what is it? I know you’re under so much pressure, and I don’t want to add to it. So if that’s how you feel, you just tell me and I’ll zip it. Done. I was just wondering, with all this uncertainty… is willow maybe more open to reconciling with nina? If carly’s not the reason why donna can’t stay over, what is it? I told you — it — it’s a business situation. Yeah, I’m aware of that. I see the bodyguards outside. There are two bodyguards at my apartment following my every move. It’s — it’s gone further than that. Well — sonny, how much further? You know there’s an attempt on my life. I just need to be clear that I’m not a target… …and I can keep the people that I love safe. Until then, my children are not gonna be visiting me. And neither are you.


This is your wedding, willow. More importantly, this — this is your life. You should live it as — as fully and as richly as possible. That’s the plan.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Good.

[ Breathes sharply ] Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] What did I do? Where do I start?

[ Scoffs lightly ] You’ve been so kind to me and such a rock for michael. You’ve been the best “funkle” to wiley and now amelia. I’m sorry. “Funkle”? Yeah. “Fun uncle.”

[ Both laugh ] I kind of love that. In this very quiet but steady way, you have become essential to the only real family I’ve ever been a part of. You have no idea how much that means to me. And that’s why I want you with me when I marry the man I love.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’ll be there. You can count on me, willow, always. I know. I’m not asking for nina’s sake. I just thought that it might help willow to make peace with her mother.

[ Sighs ] I’ve — I’ve thought the same thing. Thing is, though, is if willow —

[ Sighs ] Please, god, if willow lives, there’ll be time for her to decide if that’s what she wants. Okay? But — but — if these are willow’s last days… oh, I can’t even go there. If — if they are, then she shouldn’t have to spend them trying to make nina happy. Either way, it’s her decision, and I’m — I’m not — I’m not gonna try to influence her. Understood. Thank you for trying to help, though…

[ Sighs ] It’s just — that’s all I’m trying to do, really. For willow’s sake. You know? Not just for her, but for sonny, too. I mean, it means so much to him. After all he’s done for me… well, I’m glad you can, uh [Sighs] See the good in him when I can’T. Um, if willow asks where I am, can you — can you tell her I went to go run an errand? Sure. Great. Thank you.

[ Door opens ] Okay. This is a precaution only. I have no reason to think that my kids or you are in danger. And the reason I’m keeping you away and the guards is just for safety. I understand that you have to do this for your kids. I do. But I am a grown woman, and I do not like the idea of leaving you just because it’s dangerous. Nina, you can’t be part of this. Do you understand that? Believe me — I want nothing to do with any of this — except for you, sonny. I want everything to do with you because I love you. I love you, too. So what are we — a-and if I can put up with the guards outside and at my apartment… and if I can knowingly accept the danger — that’s a “yes” also — you — then — then why can’t I stay? Just because you — you may be willing to accept the danger doesn’t mean that I have to accept it for you. Joss, we talked about this. Okay? If I disappear, sonny will hunt me. That means I have to hide from everyone, including you. Unless you come with me. Look [Scoffs] If it was just me, I would. But I have a family. Willow is sick, and michael needs me. And I have a niece and a nephew. And donna and avery. I get it. You’re lucky to be so close with them. Don’t give them up. Ever. Well, I don’t want to give you up, either. I don’t want you to go into hiding, and — and I don’t want you to have to betray sonny. But most of all, I — I don’t want to be the reason that you make this decision. Whether you stay or whether you go, you have to leave me out of it, okay? Too late. Cannot tell you how happy I am that you’re here. Thank you. And I’m not entirely surprised. Oooh. You are lucy coe. Yep, that I am.

[ Both chuckle ] There was a part of me that always held out hope. That’s really sweet. Thank you, maxie. Thank you. Maxie: That being said… where have you been this whole time? And did you have to ambush me like that? Yep. Why? Because. That was the only way to save the nurses’ ball.

[ Waves crashing in distance ] Ab this is about lucy. You dragged her into this. Now she’s a liability, and you can’t own up to that. You screwed up, and you can’t own up to that. That’s what this is! Do you want to stop your father? You know I want to stop my father! Okay, well, in my professional opinion, this is the best chance we have, and I am going to see it through. So, you feel free to go back to europe or wherever it is that you deem safe. Carly: Aren’t you supposed to be dead?


Brook lynn: How’s it going in here? Drew agreed to give me away at the wedding. [ Chuckles ] You didn’t honestly think he’d say no. No [Chuckles] But it is nice to have that settled. One more item checked off the to-do list. I think drew is an excellent choice. Me too. Michael told me you guys are rescheduling the wedding until after the transplant. Two weeks was never a realistic timetable.

[ Both chuckle ] I really want to take my time and plan it all out so that when it happens, michael and I can really enjoy ourselves. Speaking of which, um, michael just ran out to — to do an errand. He wanted me to let you know. How do you think he’s doing? Michael? Great. He’s being a total rock star. I worry about him. I can see how hard it is trying to maintain a positive attitude. Probably about how hard it is on you. Okay. Look. I really — really do appreciate you and bobbie stepping up to steer the nurses’ ball. I mean, I also understand the urgency of it because… the 60th anniversary of the hospital is coming up, but you clearly do not know what you’ve taken on. And that’s clear why exactly? Because the ball is huge. I mean, it — it — it takes networking and — and vision and management, and it just requires a special touch. That’s all. Yours. Correct. Look, lucy, it’s really great that you’re not dead and all… thank you. That’s very sweet. But that does not mean you can come back here — listen. Unfortunately, I still have to stay dead. I kind of have to stay in hiding, which is a total drag, believe you me.

[ Sighs ] However, I can’t really be as hands-on as I have been in the past with the ball. But that’s okay, because I have you.

[ Sighs ] “Have me”? Mm-hmm. You are gonna be my eyes and ears.

[ Chuckles ] Yay!

[ Chuckles ] If you’ve quite finished making these groundless accusations, I was in the middle of a conversation with my great-nephew. Spencer, these accusations aren’t groundless. And I believe, in your heart of hearts, you know that. Now, laura has never actually come out and admitted to me that she thinks victor had luke killed, probably for fear that I would go after you with revenge on my own. But your grandmother and i have known one another all of our lives. And some things don’t need words to be conveyed. Laura knows victor is guilty. That’s why she wants you to have nothing to do with him. Alright. That’s quite enough. Now leave the boy alone. He’s your namesake. You’re called spencer after my brother. I know. How can you sit here with his murderer? I don’t suppose I can convince you I’m just a massive hallucination. Hm. Out of all the dearly departed people in my life, you might be the last person on the list that I’d want to conjure up. Yeah. Alright. I’ll concede that point. So you didn’t die in a sewer in paris? Catacomb. Whatever. It’s still an awful lot of trouble to go to to fake your death. It was a lot of trouble, and right now I’m hoping it wasn’t all for nothing. Well, you need to convince me to keep your secret. So start talking. Victor cassadine. I’m trying to prove that my father murdered your uncle luke.


I told you about my first wife. Yes. That she was pregnant and then she died in an explosion. She was my pregnant wife, and she died in a car bomb that was meant for me. After that, I didn’t know if I wanted to live or die. Then I-I got myself together. 20 years later, my son gets killed in a car bomb.

[ Breathes deeply ] Must have been horrible. It was — it was the w– I cannot — i won’t go through that again. The reason I’m asking you to go is ’cause I love you. And I-I don’t know what I would do with myself… …if I asked you to stay and something happened. Okay? Okay. I’ll keep my distance.

[ Sniffles ] Thank you. Sonny… promise me you’ll figure this out. Promise me we’ll have a future together. You’re my future.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Door closes ] I go back and forth so often I’m giving myself whiplash. One second, it’s all gonna be okay — I’ll marry michael, get the transplant, live happily ever after. The next? I die… …and leave michael to raise our kids alone. He and wiley will grieve me.

[ Breathes sharply ] Amelia will never even know me.

[ Breathes deeply ] The prospect is [Sighs] So utterly terrifying. Of course it is. Huh! It’s ironic, isn’t it? What? When I married chase, it was because we thought he was dying. And now I’m planning my wedding, and I’m the one who — listen. Okay? I’m not one to feed some B.S. That everything’s gonna be okay when I don’t know that it is. But there’s still a life-saving option on the table, willow. Don’t lose sight of that. I won’T. Can I ask you something? Anything.

[ Chuckles ] Do you regret marrying chase? I regret the pain it caused that I married chase when I didn’t love him. Because he is so deserving of love. He is. More deserving than maybe anyone I’ve ever known. My turn… to ask you a question. You still love chase… don’t you? -Does it hurt? -Nothing hurts right now. I could just fall asleep with you. Why don’t you? ‘Cause I have to go back to sonny’S. Oh. So you’ve decided to stay? I’ve decided that the only thing that matters in this whole mess is being with you. So, yeah, I’m gonna stay. I’m gonna get evidence against sonny and turn it over to my boss. I would really like to know who this mystery boss is. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. Yeah. First, I would thank him or her for bringing you to port charles. And then I would slap them. Oh, for what? Paying you to risk your life instead of nailing sonny themselves. Trust me. This person has only good intentions. How can you be so sure?

[ Knock on door ] Michael: Dex? It’s michael. Open up. You can either leave now, or I’ll have you escorted out. That’s not necessary. I am sorry for your loss. And you are entitled to your beliefs. But I’m willing to give my uncle the benefit of the doubt.

[ Voice breaking ] Whatever he’s offering you in exchange for your loyalty, it’s not worth it. My apologies for all that unpleasantness. Now, where were we? We were discussing how I can get custody of my younger brother. And if that’s something that you can help me with, then you’ll have my full support. I’m sure you remember that you need to call bessoir, the best lighting director. Every decent show has a great lighting director. Bobbie would never, ever think of that. Okay. Enough about the lighting, lucy. Uh, no, the lighting’s very important. I’m gonna put that on the list. Are you not listening to me? I’ve been listening. Uh, the thing that interests me the most is how you’ve been in hiding while being presumed dead for months. Why, lucy? Who have you been hiding from? Anna: Me. If she’s got any sense.

[ Laughs ] Anna! Yes. Of course. Because you’re a fugitive. And you are also standing in my office. Do either of you care to tell me what the hell is going on? Yeah. Don’t have time. You, with me, now! I didn’t know you were so attached to luke that you’d be willing to disrupt your life for him in this way. My father is a criminal. Luke spencer is only part of his story. He’s also framed anna devane for the murder of lucy coe. So anna was with you in paris? I can’t confirm or deny who I’m working with. Come on. Valentin, I caught you red-handed, and now you’re stonewalling? Why should I trust you? It’s not like you’re a trustworthy kind of guy. How the hell do I know you’re not working with victor? Okay, maybe you won’t trust me, but maybe drew will. He’s my rival in business, but we worked well together against my father when we were his captives in greece. Drew: Well, I remember that. Because of the hell that we went through, I will hear you out, but don’t waste my time with lies or with anything else that you want to feed me. I want to hear the plan to take down victor, and I want to hear all of it.

[ Console beeping ]

[ Machine beeping ]

Ridge: How are you holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.

Ridge: You have to hang in there a little longer.

Bill: That’s easy for you to say, forrester. This little sting operation was supposed to last for a week.

Ridge: You said you wanted this done the right way.

Bill: Don’t tell me what I said! Fine, that’s what I said, but this has gone on for months. Months of that vile creature living in my home, sleeping in my– sleeping in my bed.

Ridge: And why is that? This is your idea. This phony love affair and she’s buying into it. Good.

Bill: Yeah, my love for her freedom. Makes me wanna puke. I hate that woman. With a passion!

Ridge: And you’re alone on this? How do you think I feel? Tried to kill my daughter, tried to kill finn, but this– we’re almost there. It’s gonna be the end of it. We’re gonna put her away. Our family’s gonna be safe.

Bill: Who’s she talking to?

Chen: Deacon sharpe. My team’s monitoring the call.

Ridge: What’s she saying?

Sheila: He’s– he’s acting

so strange. Could he suspect something?

Deacon: About us?

Sheila: God, I hope not. How could he? We’ve been so careful. I’ve only seen you a few times.

But I’m worried, deacon.

Bill can never be on to us.

Bill: We’re on to you, all right.

Ridge: Do you see what that is? That is a woman who’s starting to lose it. We’re gonna have her exactly where we want her.

Sheila: We’ve got to play it safe, deacon. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Deacon: Look, I know you’re stressed out about this, but you’ve got to– sheila, I’ve got to go. Keep it together and stay strong and keep us out of trouble. Hey, honey. How are you?

Hope: Hi. Uh, good. How are you? Is everything all right?

Bill: I love watching sheila pace around like a caged animal.

Ridge: It is satisfying. Maybe not for you, seeing your girlfriend flirt with someone else, but for us.

Bill: Well, I think I’m gonna be able to get over that. Are you kidding me? That pizza boy convict is doing me a favor. Less time I have to spend around that vile woman, the better. Plus, it’s given me an opportunity to plant some seeds in her brain. Make her squirm.

Ridge: Well, maybe you can find a way to make her squirm enough to give up some information. What do you think?

Bill: She was very close.

Ridge: Really close.

Bill: She was about to confess her deepest, darkest secrets until the lights flickered and she clammed up!

Chen: Technical glitch with one of the bugging devices. It shouldn’t happen again.

Bill: It better not happen again!

Ridge: How is this helping anybody? She trusts you. We’ll get her to that place again.

Bill: I don’t think I fully appreciated the lengths I would have to go to when I involved the fbi. And it better not all be for nothing.

Ridge: She’s– she’s gonna pay for what she’s done. To my family, to your family. Can we just take a moment? Can I– can I ask you something? And look, I didn’t think you had it in you that you could make anybody love you. You– you’ve done it. Tears rolling down your face, it was– it was beautiful.

Bill: Yeah, save it, samurai sam.

Ridge: Whatever you did wasn’t enough. You gotta keep going. You gotta keep pushing her. We need a confession.

Bill: I have given it everything I’ve got. Man, I can’t believe she hasn’t caved yet. How– what’s keeping her from just confessing?

Ridge: She will. And when she does, we got her. Not for attempted murder on my daughter, but for actually killing somebody. Murder one.

Bill: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Murder one. She found it.

Deacon: I’m just not sure how I feel about you and thomas working together again.

Hope: Dad, he has to respect the boundaries I put in place, otherwise he’s gone.

Deacon: Well, your husband isn’t quite sure he’s gonna be able to hold up his end of the bargain.

Hope: Liam and I have had this discussion and I– I thought we were on the same page, that we don’t want this to affect our marriage.

Deacon: That’s easier said than done.

Hope: Look, I get why liam would be upset about this, especially since I initially told him that I wasn’t going to bring thomas back on board, but I am allowed to change my mind.

Deacon: It’s a woman’s prerogative. Hey, focus on the positive. You got douglas coming home and that is great news.

Hope: Yeah, it’s wonderful.

Deacon: Hope, take care of that little family of yours.

Hope: I will, but dad, I really do feel like everything is gonna be okay. It is actually you that I’m a little worried about because it’s very rare that I see you stressed out and you got off that phone pretty quickly, so… what’s really going on?

Bill: After I rescued finn from that apartment and got him back to steffy, I– I couldn’t stand by knowing that sheila had escaped. I knew everyone would be in danger. That– that whole bear mauling bs. I didn’t buy your missing toe story for a second. Ugh. It– it is actual torture having to look at that woman on camera and off.

Ridge: Well, it isn’t a picnic for us either, watching her 24/7.

Bill: Watching me 24/7.

Ridge: Or watching you 24/7, right. Although this morning, I gotta say, bill, your pajamas, they were form fitting but still classy. Nice job. Nice color.

Bill: Well, coming from the dress maker fashionista, I suppose I should be flattered. God, there are no cameras in my bedroom. There are no cameras in my bedroom, right?

Ridge: No, there aren’T. And you know why? Because no one could ever unsee that.

Bill: Well, you’re right about that. But seriously, this whole setup, the cameras, the mics, it makes me feel like I’m living in– in a freaking fish bowl.

Ridge: Well, it’s to keep you safe. To keep everyone safe.

Chen: We’ve been maintaining close tabs on sheila to make sure she doesn’t hurt anyone. Especially when she leaves your house.

Bill: Practically had her. I mean, she was just about to confess all her sins. Killing that– that lance day with the bees. I mean, who– who does that? Pushing that dr. Garvin to his death, shooting steffy and finn and who knows what else? She said she has done things that are absolutely unimaginable. Why couldn’t she just spit it all out already?

Ridge: This is really taking a toll on you.

Bill: You have no idea, forrester. I– I have had to go so deep into this thing that there are times when I– I actually believe what I’m saying. I mean my sons, brooke, katie, they actually think that I’ve lost my mind! That I’ve gone to the dark side and fallen for sheila carter. If they only knew the truth.

Ridge: Well, they will know the truth and when they do, you’ll be a hero.

Bill: I don’t give a damn about any of that. I just want everybody to be safe. I just hope they will understand and forgive me.

Ridge: Of course they’re gonna forgive you. They’re gonna throw you a party. You know why? Because they’re gonna realize that the police weren’t gonna hold sheila. They couldn’T. Attempted murder? She’s not gonna be in there forever. That’s why we need that confession. So she goes away for good and brooke, taylor, our kids, our grandkids, everyone’s gonna be safe.

Bill: I’m trying, ridge.

Ridge: Well, you’re not trying hard enough. As long as she’s out there, no one is safe. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Customer: Thank you.

[ Hope clearing her throat ]

Hope: Something’s up with you.

Deacon: I– okay, I’m a little stressed. I mean, I’m trying to make a success of this place. I’ve got investors on my back, but you know what? These are high end problems. I’m good.

Hope: You sure?

Deacon: Yes, absolutely.

Hope: Okay because I could help out. I could roll up my sleeves, wash some dishes. I make a mean margarita. I could even mop the floor.

Deacon: Are you implying that my floors are dirty?

Hope: I would never. I know I could eat a pizza of that floor. I am just saying I don’t like seeing you stressed out. I mean, this is supposed to be fun. Are you having fun?

Deacon: I am, I am. I– I do, yes. I’m good.

Hope: Okay. It’s the same way you worry about me, I get to worry about you.

Deacon: I know. Listen. I got everything under control. I’m not gonna do anything to ruin this life that I’m building.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I love you, sheila.

Sheila: You love me?

That’s all I ever dreamed of.

That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Is to be loved. Oh.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve done my damnedest to get to sheila, but she’s holding out on me.

Ridge: She’s loosening up. You’re saying all the right things, you just gotta step it up a bit.

Bill: I gotta what? I gotta step it up a bit? Well, easy for you to say, forrester, as you sit in here day after day, eating hot dogs and donuts. Let’s not forget who’s doing the heavy lifting. You have– you have no idea what it’s like. Can you even imagine being intimate with a murderous, vile woman like sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, I– I’d rather not imagine any of that.

Bill: No, no, no. I want you too, all right? I really want you to kind of– to live in that for a minute. Imagine what that’s like.

Ridge: All right. Couple of things. Number one: Don’t touch a grown man’s chair. Number two: You know I don’t like you. I never will, but I respect you because I could never do what you’re doing. Not with someone as dangerous as that. I couldn’T.

Bill: Yeah, you know what I have to do? I have to sleep with one eye open.

Ridge: I want this to be over. All I’m doing is sitting here and growing hair. My kids think I’m in europe. I’m only just a couple miles away from them, trying to keep them safe. That’s all I’m doing.

Bill: You’ve done a lot. Not to the level of me, but you’ve done a lot.

Ridge: It’s never to your level, I know that.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: But you know what? I’m doing what I can. He’s doing what he can. You do what you can and in the end, sheila’s gonna be gone for good. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Ridge: I thought you were nuts when you came up with this crazy scheme.

Bill: Every attempt in the past to keep sheila locked up failed. We gotta come up with proof. Iron clad proof that she is responsible for several murders and attempted murders.

Ridge: And you’re right, if you can get her to admit it on camera, then we got it.

Bill: If I can get her to say the words.

Ridge: If anyone can get her to say the words, it’s you. You figure out a way to give her something that she’s always wanted. Love.

Bill: I actually duped her into thinking that she’s finally got that from me.

Ridge: Took one for the team.

Bill: I didn’t think it through. How to maintain my dignity in the process.

Ridge: I’m– bill spencer and dignity in the same sentence, that’s a tough one for me.

Bill: Listen. I– I mean it, ridge. It is really hard to keep up this façade, you know? I– I am looking pure evil in the eye night after night, whispering sweet nothings in its ear, pretending that I accept sheila for who and what she is.

Ridge: So, you know what we should do? We’ll cut together a tape and send it to the academy because I think best actor. It’s– you know.

Bill: Get my speech ready.

Ridge: You did it. You reeled her in like a pro.

Bill: Yeah. It all began that night when I lured her to the beach. I knew sheila had been watching me at il giardino. I sent enough signals to grab her attention. So she would follow me to the beach. I was playing the part of the lonely, heartbroken, misunderstood man. Sheila bought it. Hook, line and sinker. When she hesitantly walked toward me, I acted surprised to see her. I didn’t lash out, which obviously shocked her. I pretended to open my heart and soul up to her. We sat there together for hours, talking through the night. I worked my magic to get her to trust me, using all of sheila’s vulnerabilities and insecurities against her. Not to mention, the promise of freedom. Something I ultimately said I would give her. It was risky. Sheila could’ve gotten suspicious. It was also risky to tell her that taylor shot me, but she had to be in on it for the blackmail scheme to work. That’s why I went to the feds and made sure that they were to exonerate taylor of any charges.

Ridge: I don’t like that she had to be involved at all. I don’t like what it did to steffy or to finn.

Bill: Everyone’s had to suffer as a means to an end.

Ridge: Yeah, all of us. I don’t like being away from my family.

Bill: Yeah. At least they don’t hate you. I’ve had to push my family away.

Ridge: Well, they’re not gonna hate you once they figure out what you did with sheila.

Bill: Part of me’s a little offended. I mean, I know I put on the performance of a lifetime, but come on. They all actually believe that I have fallen for sheila carter? Ugh.

Ridge: To be fair, you guys make a very, very handsome couple.

Bill: I know you’re trying to keep things light, forrester, I’m gonna be real with you. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Ridge: I know. And I don’t blame you at all. But bill, we’re this close. We’re this close to doing what the police couldn’t do, put sheila away forever. Don’t quit. Not now.

Interview with Brian Gaskill

TV Interview!

Brian Gaskill of "A Bachelor's Valentine" on Tubi

Interview with Brian Gaskill of “A Bachelor’s Valentine” on Tubi and Amazon Prime by Suzanne 3/20/23

It was great to speak with Brian. I’ve been a fan of his since he appeared as Bobby on “All My Children” years ago. His best role on soaps, in my opinion, was playing Rafe the angel/vampire slayer on “Port Charles.”  We all loved him back then because he was a great actor, and very handsome, and he had a nice smile. Now, years later, he still has all those things, but we’ve also learned that he’s a really nice guy because of what he says and how he talks to his fans on social media. He’s an even better actor, too. Please watch his movie on Tubi or Prime! It’s an enjoyable romantic film. One correction: the movie takes place in Middletown, Ohio. I said “Millstown” in the interview, for some reason.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andrew. Hi Paul. If you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. Excuse me. Up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured

so. What are you doing here?

I came to see you,

so, uh, vacuuming. Yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

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

Hey mom, it’s me. Um, can you gimme a call back when you get this? I, uh, what I’d like to hear from? Hello, am I glad to see you. Hey. Ugh. Long day. What was it ever? I’m just leading the courthouse. The jury wanted to stay and deliberate so they could come up with a verdict tonight, which they did. You, okay? Uh, yeah.

I just, I’m, I’m worried about my mom, why I can’t seem to reach her. I called her a bunch of times. I left a message and she hasn’t returned. I just tried again and went straight to voicemail. I’m sure she’s just, Yeah, I hope that’s all it is. Hope Brady. What the hell are you doing here? The same thing you are, I assume.

Looking for Megan Hathaway.

I just can’t believe this. Your life. Yep. How? I mean, it’s just, it’s so wonderful. But how

Megan, the prisons, right? I mean, So we assumed that she wanted the prisons because she wanted her father back, but she wanted you, she wanted to bring you back. Mm-hmm. , she succeeded. Look at me. So you’ve been in presentation the whole time? Yeah. You’ve been here while, I’m so sorry. I, I, but I’m thrilled. I’m thrilled because I ran into you.

She had me imprisoned here too. Really? Yeah. That’s just me. Marlena, your sister. Oh, Kayla. Yeah. Kayla. Kayla. Kayla’s here. And Marlena. I mean, it’s all, I have no idea why she did it, but Megan had all three of us here on ice against Star Wheels.

Oh, no,

I’m sorry. Are you going somewhere? I still can’t believe you’re alive. You know, wait to Kayla sees you. She’s gonna just die. She’s, but you know, she’s, of course she already did die, right? So did I. So did Marlene. It’s all. It’s crazy. Yeah. Look, we have to find them. We have to free them. And then all four of us are gonna get the hell out of here.

Right? Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Um, we can’t do that.

My dad ran outta here pretty fast when he got that call. Yeah,

he said that Steve had a potential lead on the location of Megan Hathaway. I’m guessing that you gave that to him,

like I’m not asking you to tell me where she is. I just wanna know if you think they have a shot of finding her. Well, come on, man. I mean, we’re talking about the woman that murdered my stepmother. Your, your aunt and, and uncle. Your uncle Roman’s wife. I know, but it’s not my case. And even if it were, I’m not allowed to discuss anything related to top secret information.

Yeah, I get it, Paul. Believe me, I care about this too. It’s personal for both of us, for our families. And while I’m not allowed to disclose anything about the investigation, I can assure you that the ISA is doing everything in its power to get justice for these women. Do you trust me on that?

Good. Because I’d really like to talk about something other than Intel such. us.

I didn’t think, there wasn’t us . I mean, I was just telling my dad that you and I stopped talking to each other. Not that we, you know, had a falling out or anything. I mean, you know, I was just us living on opposite sides of the country. Trying to build a relationship like that is, it’s pretty difficult. And, you know, top of that to my, my coaching schedule and your caseload and, and we just didn’t seem to figure out logistics.

I know, I remember. They, the thing is I’ve missed you.

I missed you too.

Well, did something happen? I mean, do you have some reason to believe your mom’s in trouble? No. No, it’s nothing like that. I’m just frustrated that I can’t get ahold of her. Um, you know, I want coming up there on the Megan Hathaway case. Yeah. Her possible connection to my mother’s death. God, I just can’t believe that this woman that I, I’ve never met, that everyone thought died like 40 years ago.

Come in and upend all of our lives and just cause so much sorrow for so many people. And for what? Some ancient grudge. Yeah. Well, I mean, she’s stepping out the mirror’s daughter. Resurrection and vengeance is what that family does best. Yeah. Taking wives away from their husbands and mothers away from their daughters is just, Hey, you know that Megan’s not gonna get away with this.

Especially a black patch on a case. Yeah, I know. That does make me feel better knowing that my dad and Steve are out searching for that murderous bitch.

This is, uh, John, look at you, girl. Oh, Steve. Steve, I’m good to see you. I can’t believe you guys. I can’t believe you’re here. No. Well, we. , we heard that this is where Megan Hathaway was hiding out. Yeah. That she came here after Caracas last July. Yeah. But the ISA only recently discovered that and they’ve kept a top secret.

So how’d you find it outta Shane? Well, we didn’t, but the person we did pry it out of took a little convincing, especially considering what Megan did to us last summer. Yeah. See, the agency thought that maybe we were still under her control, but we’re definitely. But I got a question for you. How did you find out where to look for Megan?

You know, luckily she didn’t mess with my head. So the agency didn’t have the same concerns really. Well that, uh, Intel is still highly classified. I mean, you couldn’t just walk in and get that information unless you got it from Shane. Well, let’s, let’s just say I still have a few friends in high place.

That’s why don’t we? But hey guys, I. No matter how we all got here, I’m so happy to see you both right back at you. Hope we opened that door. The last thing we expected to see was a friendly face, especially one as pretty as you . Steve, you look like you were ready for a fight. , I had one way or another, we’re gonna take half the way down and if it’s gonna be the hard way, so be after what she did to you.

I don’t blame you. That woman deserves what’s coming her way. Well, The fact is it isn’t just about what she did to us.

We should have known that you were gonna show up. I mean, how would we think we were gonna wake up from the dead without you? How indeed you may express your thanks at any time. Don’t hold your breath. So now you’re in league with Megan Hathaway. Hmm. Oh, surely that doesn’t surprise. Well bit you would take directions from somebody who was evil and unhinged.

No, it does not surprise me. I serve as a pleasure as a Demer family. Aunt Megan is a dememer. She’s a daughter of a man who caused pain and suffering to everybody he ever met. Untrue certain. Dara has a legend lost to us far too soon. It is now my duty, honor and privilege to carry on some issues of his progeny.

I shall. Her wish, as they say, is my command. Look, we don’t really have time to wait, okay? No. Oh, did you? Did you hear what I said? Kayla and Marlena, they’re both here somewhere, so Yeah, I heard you, but we can’t leave. If you are worried about Megan, there’s no problem there. She’s incapacitated. What do you mean?

I mean that she had me tied up. She was trying to inject me with some kind of drug, so I punched her in the jaw and I knocked her out. But she could come too anytime. So we need to go Where, where did this happen? Right on the other side of this door, right before I ran into to you. So the love of God.

Let’s get out of here. Um, sorry, but we have to go that way. No. No, we don’t. It’s way too risky. Nope. Don’t have a choice.

I know it didn’t turn out so well for us the last time. Ended up devolving into a bunch of texts about when we could possibly meet up and all the times that we couldn’t. Right. But even when we lost touch, I, I couldn’t stop thinking about last summer meeting you for the first time traveling around the world together, trying to find your dad.

Yeah. It’s not often a, on our first date where we end up in a shared hotel room in Hong Kong. , I’ve never been happier to return someone’s gym clothes , when she could probably tell Yeah. When we kissed . Yeah. Yeah. I, I could,

you know, I thought about that kiss many times. You know, it felt like, uh, it felt like the start of something. Sometimes when I’m sitting at my desk working late, I think about that moment and now I wish we could go back to him.

Maybe we could,

have you heard anything from your dad since you left? No, not yet, but I’m sure I’ll call when there’s an update. Well, knowing your dad and my uncle. Your phone’s gonna be ringing real soon. There aren’t two people on this planet more motivated to find Megan. Yeah, I wish I could do what they’re doing and just throw myself into the search and then give myself away to take my mind off all this grief, you know, in a way that’s productive.

But you know, even if they do find Megan and she does end up behind bars forever, it doesn’t really change anything for me. What do you mean? I mean, no matter how much Megan pays or Orpheus pays, I don’t get what I want. More time. My mom. Where the hell is Megan? And what has she done with Kate? Such anger.

You’re damn right. We’re angry and we’re worried about our friend. You didn’t be really. Why is that? Because she’s been given a great honor. Thanks to her contribution, I will be able to determine if my scientific genius has been successful yet again. And what contribution is that? Well, due to our doctors as well.

Certainly you are familiar with the concept of a test subject. Yeah. But in legitimate medicine, a test subject, volunteers. I’m pretty certain that Kate did not volunteer to help you. Well, actually she was fortunate enough to be chosen. As I said, it is a rare and coveted opportunity. What? Kate will be the very first recipient of my new.

What serum is that?

You think Megan’s the one who stole the orchid? Yes, and it was the only thing that could have occurred. Kayla, Marlene and Kate Hathaway is responsible for their deaths. What I.

Oh, dear God, I’m so sorry.

I’m, I’m in shock. I’m so sorry. I,

I can’t even imagine what you’ve both been going through. I make behind it

all these years, she’s still causing so much destruction and pain to the people I love. I’m. Well, she’s obviously just as vindictive and deranged as she ever was. It all started with her obsession with Bo. You know,

here’s the thing. All the doors in this place, they flock automatically. It’s, it’s like this. You go into a room or whatever and door closes behind you, and it’s locked. Okay. Well, I was just able to let myself out of this room, so, oh, well. When is a door, not a door? When it’s a jar, it must have been open a little bit.

What are you trying to tell me? That, that we’re not gonna be able to get out of here? No, we just, we have to go back in there and get Megan’s. Okay, fine. Let’s just do it. Okay.

Well, there she is, right where I left her. What’d you do to her? Exactly what I told you. I knocked her out. Let’s get those keys and get out of here,

Megan. Hey, wake up. Okay. Just nevermind her. Just get the. Good job. She’s out cold. Yeah, it is good. So good. Get look at her pocket, Megan. Oh, look at her pocket. Let I, I’ll do it. Stay where you are. You said that we needed to get the keys to escape, so let’s just shut up and stay where you are. Hey Megan again.

Can you hear me? Hey, time to wake.

What happened? Hmm? You got cold caught.

Oh, you all right?

I think so. No thanks to her. Yeah, I think she’s figuring out that she got played

I don’t have to tell you what it’s like doing it. No, no you don’t. Not that I wouldn’t get how terribly difficult this is for you anyway, but um, I mean, having gone through this with my dad, I know how much you still miss him. You know, he’d be really proud of you, of everything you’ve accomplished. I mean, you dedicated your entire life to protecting people and not just family and friends, but everybody.

You honor him every day by doing that. I know there, I can’t help but think about all the things that he’s missed out. I mean like another chance with my mom seeing Claire grow up, not being able to spend time with Sierra and her new baby, all the family milestones, birthdays, holidays, and all the ones yet to come.

Yeah, they should both be with us. Your dad and my mom. There’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about him, but. I made peace with the fact that he’s gone. And I think that a big part of being able to do that is that, is that I understand it. I mean, yeah, his death was terrible and it was tragic, but, but it made sense.

And what happened with your mom? It made no sense at all. I’m so sorry, bill. I would do anything to give you more time with your mom. And I would give anything to be able to help you with this pain.

What serum are you talking about? The details are not for me to disclose. Well then who should we ask? You should direct any inquiries regarding the serum to Madame Hask. But trust me when I tell you, it could be life changing or not. Just for her. What is that supposed to mean? Most people get over their high school sweethearts, not her.

Megan never did. So this all goes back to Megan and Bo going steady in high school. Yeah. She thought that Bo had broken up with her and he thought that she had done the same to him, but in fact, neither were true. So what happened? Megan’s mother, she caused the breakup. She manipulated both of them. And when Megan found out she lost it, she, she’s, something broke inside of her.

That’s when she became obsessed with ball and desperate, really desperate to get him back. Are you sure you’re all. Yeah, I’m, I’m fine, but would you just mind helping me out?

Okay.

Back in business.

Look at her like a deer in the headlights. Stunned silence. No, she wouldn’t shut up earlier to hold it. Hold it.

You’re not going anywhere.

What’s wrong? Um, nothing. Nothing. I, I’m just wondering, maybe, maybe this is, maybe this is not a good idea. Do you not want to No, no. I, I do. I I definitely do. But i’s just like what we just talked about, you know, we tried this before and it didn’t work out. I dunno, maybe we’re just setting ourselves up for more disappointment.

I see your point. Well, I, I, I, it’s like we really had, I mean, we really do. We have such a strong connection and, and I would love to see where that takes us. But the last time around, I mean, finding time for each other was such an impossibility. I don’t know, maybe, maybe we should just be smarter if we just cut our, cut our losses now.

Mm. And before we get in too deep. Probably right? I mean, we live so far apart. Our lives are so busy. I mean, there’s a really good chance that this won’t work, but there’s a chance that it might, it’s a chance I’d like to take. Would you.

So your serum is meant to be life changing and not just for Megan. So who else’s life is it going to change? So many questions. And did the answers have anything to do with that? Is Marlina Wright is it also gonna change the life of whoever the former occupant of that tube? Ah, yes. Well, my earliest prototypes, the technology was far more limited back then on, yet it was a very successful project.

Successful how I was able to keep the subject in a cryogenic state for nearly a decade. A decade. Who was it? Who was your subject?

Put down the gun. You’re not going anywhere. Come up. We’re both going somewhere. We’re leaving. Push me. You’ll regret it. I wouldn’t test him if I were you. Look, I, I don’t know what she put you through. Look, clearly you have been through something and you don’t even know what you’re saying. You. You have to trust me.

Okay? I’m on your side. Let me help you. Please

go. We’re not strangers. Okay. We’re, we’ve known each other for years. We’re a family. I was married to Victor. You were married to my daughter. Bo doesn’t need a history lesson, so stop babbling so that we can pick it up where we left off before you so rudely assaulted me and. Phase two will finally begin.

Don’t listen to her. Don’t listen to her. We’ll ditch her and we’ll get out of here. We’ll be free and we can go back to our homes and to the people that we love. Bo I find your lack of gratitude. Very disappointing. God, what do you want me to be grateful for? For what you did to me. I saved your life, didn’t I?

And now I’ve chosen you to be the initial recipient of my new serum. Well, I choose not to be the recipient of a pable fatal drug. Okay. Oh, relax. It might not kill you, but it does need to be tested so it stop wasting time and get on with it. Now, where is that vile?

You mean this?

You know, we really don’t give a damn what Megan’s motivation is. We just want to track her down and make her pay. So, looks like you’ve got a headstart on us. Did you find anything poking around here? I have searched every inch of this labyrinth and, uh, there’s no sign of her. So indication where she might have gone, nothing.

Nothing If there’s a affording address, she did not leave it lying around. Damn, damn well, partner. Looks like it might hit a dead end here. Dead end. What are you talking about? There’s no dead end. There’s gotta be a way to figure out where Megan went. Yep.

You are absolutely right. I missed you. Maybe there is.

Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say. No, I, I don’t always. Don’t even think I do most of the time . I just think that I do in this case because you know, I’ve been there and if there’s something that I can tell you, it’s that you’re never gonna stop missing them. But time, time definitely helps, you know, although there are days that I will feel the loss of my dad, so it’s a cute thing.

It’s like, it just happened yesterday. And then there are other days that I remember all the fun times I had with him now that we had, you know, and think about all the funny things that he’d say and times that he’d tell me that he loves me and that he’s proud of me and that definitely it makes things less painful.

Yeah, right. You know, another thing that. Hmm. So when I remind myself just how blessed I am to be able to share my life with someone like you, someone so kind and so wonderful, who I just happen to love with all my heart, I love you with all my heart too, and I need you so much right now. You have me now.

You have me now, and you have me always.

And do you know what else we need to remind ourselves of? Mm-hmm. , not only do we have each other, got an incredible daughter. Yeah. We’ve got a great big family to lean on.

And now

I’m officially off the clock. I said, what do you say? We go home and we lean on each. On the couch. That sounds really good.

That was perfect.

Ah, exactly the words I was looking for. So can we talk about what happens next? Well, I was thinking.

No. No. , no. Do we discuss where we go from here? Yeah. Yeah. We probably should, but not, right? No, I just wanna enjoy this perfect moment with you.

It’s all right. Get it.

Donovan? Yeah. Pat your through

hope. What can I do for you? I need a favor. I need to go to see Harris Michaels.

We know that you kept Stephan Damara on ice for four years, but a decade. That’s quite a feat, don’t you? Thank Marta. Yes, I do. It’s quite remarkable. Mm-hmm. . So the person must have been very important. Yeah. I’m just, I’m just so curious. I can’t stop thinking about who it might be. I can’t stop thinking about it either.

I mean, it could be, but No, that’s silly. Now what are you thinking? Well, I’m just thinking that maybe what if it’s, uh, somebody famous? You mean like a world leader or a rockstar or a Hollywood legend? Maybe an athlete? You know, I did hear a while back that there was a baseball player who was Cryogenically frozen.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, maybe. Maybe we’re on the wrong track. Maybe it’s somebody who was, I don’t know, closer to home, maybe somebody from Salem, somebody that we all. Yeah. What about that Ro? Somebody we all knew. Somebody close to Salem. I didn’t say anything, but nice try. If I went in such a hurry to complete my experiment, I’d stay and applaud your creativity.

We don’t need your applause. We’d just like to know who was in that tube. And we are pretty. Wasn’t Stefano because you took his essence and put it in Steve. Another hugely successful experiment of mine ruined by stefano’s well meaning, but misguided children for a tremendous loss. When Chad and Tony destroys that microchip, you can lament it later.

Just tell us who it was for the last time. Tell us who was in the tub.

Hand it over. Do you really think that you’re gonna be able to make it out of here without Bo shooting you dead? Or perhaps you think that another pathetic speech about how the two of you used to be family is gonna change his mind. Oh, please give it. You heard the man,

whatever kinship the two of you used to have, it’s long over. I’ll stop wasting time and let’s get on with it.

Time.

That was stupid. Really not allowing you to make me your personal Guinea pig. I think it was one of my smarter moves. How typically arrogant and ignorant of you. Congratulating yourself when you’ve just made one of the most idiotic decisions ever. How’s that? The only reason that I was keeping you alive was to make sure that that serum worked.

Now that it’s gone, you’re of no further use to me,

no point in drawing this out any. You may as well go ahead and kill her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yep.

Okay. Send him.

Uncle Steve

desk job. Huh? Who’d you piss off? Nice to see you too. I, not to seem too hostile or anything, but what the hell are you doing here? Why do you think I’m. I need your help to find Megan Hathaway,

my dear ladies, your whole family still PS you’re dad, but I don’t want you to sleep your whole life away. Once again, it’s time to wake up. We have so much to do,

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

Hey, Robert Lucas. Now I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out why you wanted to see me again.

We can take it by your attitude that this is not a social cult. No, it isn’t. We found out which Demaris told the orchid and. It was step’s. Daughter, why would Kristen take the orchid from herself? Not that daughter. His other daughter made an Hathaway, who’s that? Well, you might have forgotten her because she appeared to die 40 years ago, how Salem offered to appear to die.

Yeah, Larry Wells killed and, uh, stuck her in a hot tub and proceeded to zap it with electricity. It’s pretty thorough. You would think so, but you know how hard it is to kill Dira. And in true Dira form, Stefano took the body and maintained it in life form cryogenic. But now she is very much alive, fully functioning, and totally lethal.

Where is she now? That’s a million dollar question, John. Steve looking and I am here. To find out what you might know.

You know, dad, ah, you need to tell you about this new device that came out with, it’s called a phone. Sorry. Did you show up like this kid? No, it’s fine. It’s a bit surprised. That’s all.

How you doing? About as well as can be expected, I guess.

If it’s hard for me to believe she’s gone, it must be hell for you.

You okay?

Yeah. I forgot how much you love to talk about your feelings. Don’t really see any point in talking about I’m not gonna change anything. Right. Hey, but you know what though? The good thing is, you know, I, I really wanted to stay on in, in Salem after the funeral on. Yeah, well you got a chance to coach Triple A.

You can’t pass that up. So how’s it going up pretty well, actually, here’s the thing, uh, we’re starting a, a home stand. Three games. So don’t you stay around for a couple days, coach my coaching. We’ll see.

Why do I get the feeling that you didn’t come out here to talk about baseball? Because I didn’t. You on a case, Steve and I are you. Look, we ought to sit.

You have to know that finding Ms. Hathaway is one of the agency’s top priorities. Wow. Agency speak, getting real good at that. The thing is, this isn’t my case, but I can’t put you in touch with the agent in charge. Well, if I wanted to talk to the agent in charge, I wouldn’t be in your office. Now, remember when we spoke on the phone a few days ago, I got the distinct feeling that you were giving me the runaround.

So I’m here face to face to get some answers. Steve, it’s not that I won’t answer your questions. I can’t.

Are you awake too? Oh, I was having a nightmare. I think we’re actually living one. Yeah, it trumps it. Megan was holding this captain and we didn’t know why. Well, I don’t think we have time to find out. We need to get outta here. Here I, I’m okay. Why don’t you help Kate? Damn. What is it? She’s gone. How could she be

here? Go. What the hell are you smiling at? I’m happy because phase two. Is finally about to begin.

What? What is going on? Why am I tied up? Where am Marlena and Kayla? Okay, I, who the hell do you think you are? Does it not compute that you are the one who’s tied up? And I am not? That you’re not in a position of power and that I am, perhaps it would be wise of you to at least try not to infuriate me. I didn’t realize you were so fragile.

Not at all. I just think that life is short and we should all try to get along as best we can. Okay. Okay. Remind if I. Uh, would you be so kind as to tell me where Marlena and Kayla are and if they are okay. The doctors, Evans and Johnson are absolutely fine. , see your idea of absolutely fine. And mine are probably not the same.

They ain’t dead. How’s that? Has anyone ever told you that you’re a complete pain in the. Well, your father thought I was absolutely delightful, but then again, he had a sense of humor. , is that what you think it was now? I have something very important to discuss with you. No, I do not wanna talk about anything with you.

You need to get me and Marlena and Kayla back home and to our husbands.

I didn’t even know there was a Megan Hathaway. How, how would I know anything about her? Well, we didn’t know that. We thought maybe your mom had mentioned something when she and uh, Stephanie were married. No, I would’ve remembered. I, I would’ve said so. I would’ve said something as soon as Oria said that, that a DIR stole the orchid who effectively killed my mother.

Yeah, I know that. Look, Lucas we’re, Glassman saw us here. John and Steve are in touch with the isa, but it seems at this point that Megan has just vanished into thin air. Stephanie could do that too, right? Yeah. Well, I think the two of them have lots in common. What I don’t get is why would a woman who’s been, I don’t know, dead for 40 years, why would she come back and try to kill my.

My mom didn’t even know her. I’m telling you, I’m telling you. When my mom was married to Stefano, I never once heard either of ’em say the the name Megan Mali. I don’t think Kate was a real target from what I configured. The bitch was after Kayla and Myla.

You think Kate really found a way out here and left us behind? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that she looked after number one. No. No, it wouldn’t. If Kate found a way out of here, she must have done it with some planning. Don’t you think that Megan wouldn’t have security cameras everywhere? Who knows?

Locked? Of course it is. But if Kate got out of here, she would not have locked the door behind. So Megan must have done that. Yeah. I’m getting really tired of this. Megan Hathaway. Yeah. Yeah. She kept talking about her plan. I, I wonder if maybe Kate was part of that plan. Oh, we have gotta find a way out of here.

Are you gonna.

Another cryogenic cylinder.

So who the hell was in here?

So you think Andrew can help you track down Megan Hathaway? Oh, that’s what we’re hoping. So he didn’t mention anything to you off the cuff about her? No. You want a beer? I’m gonna have a beer. Don’t take this personally here. He’s not trying to shut you out. ISA agents can’t really bring their work home with him.

Hell, it’s not like that. Yeah. And what’s it like? Nothing. Yeah. Angie and I aren’t really talking to each other about. And that’s it.

If you have any idea where Megan Hathaway is, which I think you do, I don’t understand why you won’t tell me. You and John don’t have clearance. We don’t have clearance. Do you have any idea how long John and I have been doing the agency’s dirty work? Just ask your father how many times we put our lives on the line and then tell me we don’t have clearance.

I don’t have to ask my father. I grew up on the. And everyone here knows and respects your history. Oh, my history. Listen now we’re trying to find the woman responsible for the death of our wives, and you tell me we don’t have clearance. Why the hell not? Because there’s a concern that you and John have been compromised.

And it’s not like Andrew and I had a falling out. Hmm. You just said that you and Andrew aren’t talking to each other. About anything, so, so how is that not a falling out? No, I mean that we didn’t get in a big fight or anything and it wasn’t that we didn’t get along. We did, we’re getting along. That sounds pretty tepid.

So in other words, what? No heat. Dad. Oh dad, what? Come on. You told me when you two in Hong Kong, there was a lot of chemistry there. So what happened? He comes here to visit. What? The movie doesn’t live up to the preview. Okay. What happened was, we had a great time together and we thought we could make it work, but then reality checked in.

He lives in dc I live here. He’s got a demanding job. I’m transitioning to become a coach. You know, long distance relationships, they involve, well, a lot of logistics. I see. And it’s, it’s too hard for a couple middle-aged farts to make adjustments, not middle-aged Well, you know, the way he could’ve fooled.

Come on, you got a secret agent, you’ve got a superstar athlete, and you two act like a couple of insurance adjusters. So you know, you, you’re fine. You, you sit here, you sit here all alone, and you just keep convincing yourself that logistics are too complicated to be with someone who could actually make you happy.

How do you really feel about it?

Compromise. Huh? What the hell’s that supposed to? It means the last summer in Hong Kong, you were Megan Hathaway’s hired muscle. We weren’t hired, we were brainwashed, and it was pretty effective. You held a whole room hostage. You put a gun to Wendy Shin’s head. We were under Megan Hathaway’s. Control. And how does anyone know that you’re not now?

Oh, you think John and I are sleeper? I don’t, but some very important people in the organization have reservations, so now my partner and I are in the impossible position of having to prove a negative. You said you don’t believe it. Why? Because I was there when Paul broke through to John and broke Megan’s spell.

While I understand your desire to get back to Salem and your dreary little lives, I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you. As I said, phase two is about to begin and your participation is non-negotiable.

what does that even. I didn’t even know there was a phase one and now apparently it’s all over. You don’t need to know you. Marlena and Kayla are just chest pieces on the board pawns in someone else’s game. Okay, I so are Roman, John and Steve. Are they paws as well? Is that why they believe we’re all dead?

They believe you’re all dead because someone took the only thing that could have saved your.

Damn look, actually I think it’s quite beautiful.

So was Kayla and Marlene who put the kibosh? When Megan’s big plant Katie had nothing to do with she telling me my mom died for no good reason. Yeah, it feels that way and that’s why we have to find Megan to make her pay for what she did. It’s not gonna bring my mom back. You think? I don’t know. I’m sorry.

I know this has been hard for you too. How are you doing? Want me to lie to you? Tell you I’m doing okay. I can see you’re not okay. I want you to tell me the truth. Well, I got lots of people looking out for me. Abe came over the other day and, uh, told me how he fell when he lost Lexi, and how he thought he’d never fall in love.

I knew I meant well, but, uh, all does. Lets, uh, remind me how much time your mom and I wasted and how damn happy we were when we got back together. And now I have to face the fact that I will never see her again. And I am very sure that John and Steve feel exactly the same way.

Look, it’s power down and the locks have been released. There’s no one in there. Now. Whoever was in there, Megan had to have let them go. Well, I’m no expert, but it looks like that is a lot older than these are. Then you heard what Megan said. She never throws anything away. She also told Steve and John that she was cryogenically frozen after she was supposedly.

So maybe that’s where she was stashed. And what about the prisms? She said she wanted those to help cure someone. She cared about someone we all thought was dead. And who was it who was in the tube? Oh God. I think I know.

I know it’s not exactly the same, and I know I don’t have any right telling you this right now, but the way you feel about my mom is exactly the way I feel about Sammy. Sammy’s not good. Yeah, I know, but I’m pretty much as good as dead to her. She’ll never forgive me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I loved her, and I’ll never have a chance to get her back.

I, I know I blew that. You’re not always wrong, and I know she’ll never forgive me, and I know you’ll never forgive me. That’s why I’m really appreciative that you come here and you talk to me and you tell me what’s going on. I know that I don’t deserve it.

Well, you know what? You won’t get a big argument from me on that, but the thing is, You’re Kate son. She did forgive you and she did love you. And I am thinking, Lucas, that in a way you and I talking to each other this way is a good way to honor your mom’s memory. So that’s the orchid. The orchid. When I got you here, you were all at death’s store.

How else do you think I was able to revive you? I had to use the orchid to count of the effects of the toxin that Orpheus gave you. Kind of weird thinking about your life being dependent. A flower. I had someone prepare and administer the necessary second. That is why you’re still here.

This flower’s healing power. It’s not restricted to what ailed the three of you. I took it because I needed to remedy my own condition. And that of someone who is very dear to me,

Ste. You think it was Ste? Well, what if Megan was just keeping him on ice and now she has the three prisms and, and she’s thinking that what the Phoenix may rise. Well, you know what? I have a second thought. Even if that man’s body was able to be preserved, he would just be a shell, his, his spirit, his soul, as if he had one.

You know, he did have one, but it was evil and destructive, and it was taken from his body in the form of a microchip, and it was put in Steve’s head, and then I was able to remove it. And then Chad and. Burned it. Okay. Then Stefano is gone. Stefano is dead. He has to be,

my wife is dead and John’s wife is dead because of Megan. Now, how could you people think that we’d be helping her? I told. I don’t think that, and I know how much you loved on Kayla. I did too. I don’t want justice for her as much as you do. Don’t talk to me about justice. My Kayla is gone and the agency has decided that we can’t be trusted with clearance and you are gonna play it to the agency.

Okay, that’s fine. We’re gonna keep looking for her and we’re gonna find her. Whether you help us or not

good, you just get back to your busy work

and say hello to your dad for me. Uncle Steve,

I just pulled up our file on Megan Hathaway because I have clearance. I can view it whenever I want. I’m just not at liberty to share it with you. But what I can do is offer you a cup of government issue, coffee, and it’s a coffee station at the end of the hall. Would you like a cup of coffee and take me maybe three, four minutes?

Yeah, I’d like a cup of coffee. Thank you. It’s the least I can do.

You. Sorry kid, I didn’t mean that. Shouldn’t have said anything. It’s really none of my business.

Saved by the bell. I gotta take this.

Yeah. What’s up? I might have a possible location on Megan Hathaway. It’s a long shot, but right now it’s our only shot. So how fast can you get to the airport? You know, I don’t think we have to worry too much about who was in that tube, because right now I think that Megan has Kate, and if that’s. I think things are gonna start changing pretty fast around here, and we better be getting out while we still can.

Agreed. We need to find a way through that door from the look of it. We’re not gonna break it down. I think that we just have to start getting smart about this.

I, I, I could give you a ride to the airport. Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Or you could get two tickets to wherever it is you’re going. You know that place? That’s your only shot. Just a figure of speech. Oh, come on dad. We were just in a heated discussion about my failed love life and how I’m basically screwing life up in general, and then Steve calls and what You’re outta here.

So I know it’s important. I know it’s urgent and it’s probably dangerous, so let me help you. Let me come with you. No, because Steve and Eric, we just need to do this on our.

All right, but please be careful. I don’t wanna have to fly halfway around the world to save your ass again. I’m never gonna hear the end of that, am I? No.

Listen about before I’m. I’m sorry, I I had no right to talk to you like that. I was really outta line. Do you really think that? I don’t get that. It must be damn frustrating when you’ve lost Marlena and to, to see me all alone and apparently not doing anything about it. But still, it, it’s, it’s none of my business.

You’re my dad. And as much as I hate to admit it, you got a point. So you and I were cool. Okay. You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about. Okay, thanks. I gotta run. Good. Okay. Well, uh, you know, just, just let me know when you’re o when you’re okay. When you have the time. I can’t help. I, I just worry about you.

Good luck this weekend.

Okay, well, I’m gonna check in with, uh, John, Steve, see if they’re having any luck. Just keep me busted first. Hurt while, alright,

so you said that you had to use it to remedy your own condition. Are you sure you really did that? Cause you’re not looking so.

The lighting’s not very good in here. I’m fine. You know, I could have let you die,

You expect me to. Thank you. Uh, oh. Maybe I should have sent you a fruit basket when I get home, but then I’m again, to do that I would need your address, so, so what’s it gonna be? Is it gonna be a cell at Statesville or a padded room at Bayview? You know, you really are a pain in the ass. Which erases any hesitation that I might have had to proceed?

What do you mean I’m going to use you as a Guinea pig? You see, someone has made me a little serum. Only it came with a caveat. What doesn’t make me stronger might in fact kill me, and I don’t see any reason that I should take that risk, not when I have you here to do a trial run on.

This, please. Like a damn labyrinth. Yep. Been switching these hallways for. Almost an hour no sign. Megan Hathaway was ever here. Well, the ISA analyst put the probability at 12%. These aren’t good odds partner. That’s the only lead we got. You know the agency checked it out before, maybe they missed something.

You don’t wanna stop, do you buddy? We’re not gonna stop till we find that woman in Baker Bay.

Guys mock up. You gonna turn, lock pick on you on, man? You said you were bringing yours ia, security confiscated. Oh, okay. So now what do you,

what’s. A nice little cocktail that someone whipped for me. I have it on good authority that you and my dearly departed brother Andre, had an affinity from martinis. Shaken, not injected. You are right. I am not yet fully recovered from being well, you know.

And I’m told that this could be the answer to my prayers. Well then why not use it on yourself rather than waving around near me, because while it may take care of whatever it is that I need, it does come with the one-off chance of an unpleasant side effect. Well, I suggest that you try something homeopathic first, then I’m more inclined to do a trial run on you.

You see, look at the kill you. It could potentially have very extraordinary effects. Something that you’ll thank me for later, and if it does happen to kill you, who knows? Maybe someone will bring you back to life again. Right?

Oh my. And you’ve been at that forever. Maybe we should try something else. Ah, ah, I got it.

You think that’s going to get us out of here? You know, when you pointed to the chamber, it reminded me of a date that I had with Steve where we talked all about how to pick a lock. So I got him to teach me. And you know, it, it’s actually pretty simple if you have a wire. What like a, like a bobby pin? No, no.

Nine times outta 10, those will break. You need something industrial like from a, a heating or cooling unit, like, like this, uh, cryogenic chamber. Well, let’s just hope that Steve taught you. Well, man. Kathy’s not the heating unit around the corner. Nice.

Before you do whatever you’re going to do to me, can I, can I at least say something? Final last words. Make it snappy. It’ll be short. Just a sentence. Okay. What is it? The rope on my hand wasn’t tight. Stop it.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. Click.

Oh, I miss you. I haven’t heard your voice in a while, but if there’s a way for you to reach out to me again, I know you’ll make that happen. I love you.

Night. Night, golden Girl.

Andrew. Hi Paul. Well, if you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. He’s meeting up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured.

So then what are you doing here? I came to see you,

so, uh, yeah. Come in. Ah, yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. I heard a click.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.
