Jack: Back up. What do you mean harrison’s missing?

Diane: And claire took him? We just saw her at the party.

Kyle: Okay. She came by. She came by to bring harrison his lucky bunny charm. He wanted her to read him a bedtime story. Dad, she’s the first person he’s liked. First person she’s liked out of all the nannies. The first person since linda. And they were just right there. I didn’t see the harm in it, so I… dad, I– I called the police, but… no, maybe we should drive around the neighborhood.

Jack: Kyle, kyle, kyle, listen to me. Slow down.

Diane: Yeah, and take a breath. You called the police?

Jack: Tell us what happened from the beginning.

Summer: Kyle, what is this voicemail? Harrison’s missing?

Diane: Kyle, where have you looked so far?

Kyle: I– I checked all over the house, but he… he’s gone. He– he’s gone. They’re both– they’re both gone. Claire must have taken him.

Summer: No, no, it can’t be. Harrison loves to play hide and seek. I mean, did you check under his bed?

Kyle: Yes, I checked all of his favorite hiding places. Dad, I wish this was a game, but it’s not. Damn it! Damn it! Why did I trust her with him?

Diane: Okay, so you think claire took him? And that he’s–

Jack: Have you tried calling claire?

Kyle: Yes, about 10 times, but it keeps going to voicemail.

Diane: All right, you guys, there has to be an explanation. This can’t be a kidnapping.

Summer: That’s exactly what this is. His bed’s still made. All of his favorite things are still there. How could you let this happen? How could you let that psychopath take our son?

Jack: Don’t panic.

Summer: She poisoned my family, jack, and now she has our son.

Jack: Summer, we don’t know that yet.

Diane: I know you’re upset. We all are, but jack’s right. Panicking won’t help us figure out what happened.

Summer: Kyle left harrison alone with her and now they’re both gone. What more do we need to know?

Diane: Well, pointing fingers won’t help either. We need to all work together to figure this out.

Jack: Son, talk us through this, step by step.

Kyle: Okay, um, harrison, he left his lucky charm at the party. That bunny figurine he has.

Jack: We know it well.

Kyle: Then you know he was beside himself without it. Claire, she showed up with it. Apparently, she spotted it at our table. After we left, they talked about it at the party. She knew how much it meant to him. She had called his lucky bun, so she brought it over.

Summer: Wait, she left the party before I did. She could have easily given it to me.

Kyle: Um, harrison, he was upstairs. We were chatting down here. And then, he came down. He was ready for bed. And when he saw that she had brought the lucky charm, it was like the whole night was saved. I mean, he was on the verge of a meltdown before. I was worried how I was going to get him to fall asleep without it and then… he– he was so grateful. He asked her to read him a bedtime story.

Summer: And you let her?

Kyle: Yes, I didn’t see the harm in it. I mean, they were up there and I– I– I was right there. But then when I went up to check on them, they were gone.

Summer: Kyle, you left her alone with harrison, knowing her history, knowing how I feel about her, all because harrison thinks she’s funny and she brought back his toys?

Kyle: Yes! Yes! Because he likes her! And she went out of her way to bring him that stupid bunny charm. He should have seen them talking about charms. It was sweet. And I knew ashley and traci were upstairs. And then when I went up to check on harrison, tell him goodnight, he and claire were gone. I never in a million years thought that she’d take—

Summer: No, you didn’t think, did you?

Kyle: No.

Summer: Has anybody even called the police?

Kyle: I called them. The police are on their way.

Diane: All right, kyle. I know you’ve searched the house, but what about the property? I mean, could harrison have taken claire out back to look at his tree fort or something?

Kyle: Yes, mom, I checked everywhere. I checked inside and out, the pool shed, the garden shed.

Jack: Let’s not all jump to the worst possible outcome yet.

Summer: Jack, she’s a convicted felon. She just got out of the psych ward and now she– she has her little boy.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… nothing makes a gathering great

Jack: Okay, our security is working with gcpd, combing the grounds for any clue as to what might have happened.

Diane: Here, honey, have some water.

Summer: I just want my son back. I want to tuck him into bed. I want to curl up next to him.

Jack: We all want that, believe me, but we have help now to figure out what happened, to find harrison. We have to trust the authorities to do their job.

Summer: Harrison thinks he’s a big kid, but he’s not. He’s so sweet and innocent still. He– he thinks that everyone in this world is good, but there are bad people out there who do bad things, even if they seem harmless, like claire.

Diane: Summer, I’m as scared as you are, but come on, let’s think through this. Why would she want to take him?

Summer: Why would she poison my dad and my grandparents, her own parents? She’s a crazy person.

Jack: As I understand things, that was her aunt jordan’s plan.

Summer: Why does everybody give claire a pass? She’s not a child. She’s a grown woman and she went along with everything that jordan did.

Diane: All right, worst case scenario, this is a kidnapping. Should we be prepared for a ransom?

Jack: No, no, if that’s the case, there’s no problem.

Summer: She doesn’t need money. She’s a newman now. Victoria and cole have accepted her and she’s been living at the ranch. She could be set for life. I– I don’t get this. I don’t get why she took harrison.

Traci: What is going on here?

Jack: How is ashley? Any changes?

Traci: She’s still asleep. Why are the police here?

Jack: Harrison is missing. Claire was with him. She was reading a book. When kyle went to check on them, they were both gone.

Traci: How is that even possible? I’ve been here all night.

Jack: We’re trying to figure that out. Did you see anything, hear anything that was out of the ordinary?

Traci: No, no, no. I was checking on ashley every hour or so.

Kyle: Dad, do you have the number for the alarm company? The officer needs to review the security footage.

Traci: Oh, they’re gonna find something on the security footage, right?

Summer: How long were you chatting with claire before harrison came down? Were you having drinks?

Kyle: Really? I had half a glass of whiskey and then she had water.

Summer: Of course, she did. She needed to stay sober while she got you drunk so that she could take harrison. The police should check your drink for poison.

Kyle: She didn’t poison me. I poured my own drink.

Summer: Oh, my god. She probably stole harrison’s lucky charm so that she could use it as an excuse to come over here and to get harrison alone. How long has she been planning this? Charming harrison with her stupid kid jokes and pretending to be his friend?

Diane: Do you think it’s possible?

Summer: Of course, it’s possible and you wanted her to be harrison’s nanny. I cannot be here anymore. I can’t wait around while claire’s getting farther and farther away with our son.

Jack: Summer, I think we all need to stay here in case they get in touch.

Kyle: Or claire calls.

Summer: You stay here. I’m gonna go get my own answer since I definitely can’t trust you.

Kyle: Oh, where are you going? Huh? Damn it!

Jack: Kyle, let her go. She wants to do anything, something that would help things.

Kyle: Oh, and I don’t?

Jack: She is upset, kyle. She’s lashing out.

Traci: Kyle, just don’t even pay attention to her accusations. We all know you would never do anything to put harrison in harm’s way.

Kyle: I mean, did I completely misread claire?

Diane: Well, if you did, you’re not the only one. The newmans have welcomed her into their family.

Kyle: No, not summer. She’s wanted nothing to do with her since she found out about her past. I mean, my god, what if– what if summer’s right? What if she’s been planning this all along, playing me?

Jack: I hate to say this, but we have to consider all the possibilities.

Diane: Jack.

Jack: We have no choice. Claire was alone with him. Now, both of them are gone.

Traci: I just– I just wish I had heard them come upstairs. If I had run into them in the hall checking on ashley, maybe it would have deterred her.

Kyle: Tonight, claire said she brought his toy back because she had a lucky charm of her own when she was a kid, and jordan took it from her.

Traci: She told you that?

Kyle: Yes. She talked about how hard it was and how– and how happy she was to be free of jordan’s lies and rebuilding her life as a newman. I mean, the story, it seemed so real. The details. It’s like telling it, it brought up painful memories for her.

Traci: And it’s these tiny details that make a made-up story sound very real.

Kyle: So, you’re saying she was lying to me? That she was playing me? This is some manipulation to win me over?

Traci: No, I’m not saying anything. I’m just suggesting that we consider it.

Kyle: Yeah. How could I have been so vulnerable?

Jack: Hey, we will find him. We will bring him home.

Traci: Diane? Where are you going? Kyle needs you right now.

Diane: I know no one wants to think about it, but there is an emotionally unstable person right upstairs.

Traci: Are you suggesting that ashley would do something to harm harrison? She loves that boy.

Diane: So do I. He’s my grandson. But like jack said, we have to look at all the possibilities.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Frantic knocking on door ]

Victoria: All right. All right, I’m coming. I’m coming, I’m coming. Summer, what are you doing here? It’s so late.

Summer: Is claire here? Did she bring harrison? Claire!

Victoria: Last I heard, she was dropping off his good luck charm. She texted me that she found it at the jazz lounge. Why would she bring harrison here?

Summer: Claire took harrison. They’re both missing. If advanced lung cancer

Summer: Claire!

Victoria: What are you talking about? There must be some misunderstanding. Claire would never take harrison.

Summer: They’re not here. You’re sure?

Victoria: No, I’m positive they’re not here. I’ve been waiting for her to get home. I’ll call her. Let me call her. Claire, uh, it’s mom. It’s getting late. I’m worried about you. Where are you? What’s going on? Just give me a call as soon as you get this, all right?

Kyle: This is what he looks like. He’s about this tall… he has brown hair.

Traci: Well?

Diane: Ashley’s sound asleep.

Traci: Well, I could have told you that if you had let me.

Diane: All right, you want me to say it? Okay, I’m wrong. I’m wrong, but can you blame me with how she’s been acting lately?

Traci: You know, I don’t blame any of us for heightened emotions at a time like this, especially with our sweet boy missing. Diane, I know my sister. And no matter what she’s going through, she would never harm an innocent child.

Diane: I know, I know. But whoever has harrison might.

Victor: So, what happened?

Summer: I’m really sorry to stop by so late, but this is an emergency.

Victor: Is it claire or jordan?

Summer: Claire’s missing. So is harrison.

Nikki: What do you mean they’re missing?

Victoria: Tell them what you told me.

Summer: Claire found harrison’s good luck charm at the lounge. He had lost it and she brought it to the abbott house to give back to him. And kyle let her go upstairs with harrison to read him a story and then the– the next thing he knew, they were gone. She took him.

Victor: How do you know claire took him?

Victoria: That’s my point exactly. It’s a leap to blame her.

Summer: A leap? I know that claire took him because of her history and because kyle would have heard if someone else was in the house. Grandpa, I told you that I didn’t trust her. I was right.

Nikki: My god, it’s jordan. She’s behind this.

Victor: Well, let’s not jump to conclusions, all right? Let’s stick with the facts. So, go on.

Summer: The last you tracked jordan, she had left town. Claire, on the other hand, was at the abbott house with harrison alone. She’s been fixated on harrison since the moment that she met him.

Victoria: Come on, she loves children. Harrison is the first little cousin that she’s had a chance to meet. Fixation is going a bit far, don’t you think?

Summer: She stole his good luck charm. She was using that as an excuse to get to the abbott house and she knew that she could get away with it because we were all going to be distracted celebrating you guys at the jazz lounge.

Victoria: Claire would never kidnap a child. There has to be some other explanation.

Nikki: I am telling you, this is jordan. I knew our party would lure her out of hiding. Oh, my god. That’s why we had all the security.

Summer: Stop, please. Just can you all stop giving claire an out? You let her into your lives and you let her into your home and look at what’s happened. She tricked you all again.

[ Phone ringing ]

Jack: Victor, I take it you’ve heard?

Victor: Yeah. Summer and victoria are here.

Jack: That’s where she went. She ran out of here saying she needed answers.

Victor: Do you have any update?

Jack: The police are here searching the grounds with my security team. They’ve already spoken to kyle. They’re going over security cam footage as we speak.

Victor: Okay, now listen carefully. I’m going to send my head of security to meet with your team. Together, we will find our grandson.

Jack: Thank you. How are summer and nikki?

Victor: Emotions are running high, all right? And summer’s blaming claire. So, obviously it doesn’t sit well with victoria. What do you think? You think it was claire?

Jack: I don’t want to. And for the record, neither does kyle. But given the information we have, no other explanation really makes sense.

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Jack: Oh, good. My security team tells me you’ve completed your own search of the grounds and the security cam footage.

Kyle: Please tell us you found something that explains what happened.

Guard: A delivery truck arrived late tonight.

Traci: Oh, that would be our weekly floral delivery. It arrives like clockwork.

Diane: I’ll go check.

Guard: Tonight it was late. It parked at the back entrance for 10 minutes, then left.

Kyle: Okay, what about the driver?

Jack: Did you maybe see who it was?

Guard: Unfortunately not.

Diane: Okay, the flowers did arrive, but they’re just in a pile outside the kitchen door like someone tossed them there.

Traci: No, that’s not at all how it usually happens.

Kyle: This doesn’t make sense. There’s more going on here.

Cole: Claire would never hurt a child. And she would never run off with jordan willingly. This is all my aunt. She has our child and yours.

Summer: I am so sick of you all blindly trusting claire. And I’m furious at kyle for leaving harrison alone with her, knowing how I felt about her.

Victoria: She’s your cousin. She’s my daughter. Your own father has forgiven her. You would think that you’d be able to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Summer: When my child is missing?

Cole: What possible motive could she have?

Victoria: Exactly. Her sole focus has been getting stronger. She’s been overcoming all kinds of psychological and emotional abuse that she’s suffered from her aunt jordan, who, by the way, she’s cut all ties with and tried to draw close to her true family, which includes you, by the way. Do you know she’s trying so hard to be your friend?

Summer: Why is that? To get closer to harrison?

Cole: Okay, summer, just think about it. Why would she do this?

Summer: I don’t know why she would do this. I’m not a psychopath like her and her aunt. Maybe it’s time that you two give me some answers.

Victoria: Like?

Summer: Like, why is claire so obsessed with working with children, being around them, helping them? What is that about? Maybe she does take after her aunt. Maybe she stole a kid for her own insane reasons to have a do-over on the childhood that she never had or to… to punish another kid the way that she was out of some sick, twisted revenge.

Victoria: Look, I understand that you’re upset, all right? I understand that this is terrifying, but you’re spinning all of these theories that don’t make any sense whatsoever.

Summer: Psychopaths don’t make sense. I don’t know what’s going on in her head. I don’t know. What I do know is that you all are blind when it comes to claire. You’ve been enabling her. You’ve been coddling her, telling her that you forgive her. She tried to kill you, and she fooled you. You know that she’s a master manipulator. She fooled you, grandma. And you’ve just somehow forgotten all about that because– because you’re desperate to accept her back into the family. Because you feel bad that she felt abandoned growing up. Even you, grandpa. Even you. You want us all to be a big, happy family so badly that you’re just you’re blinded by your feelings. My son is the one that’s paying the price. I said tonight that I learned everything that I know about family from you. What about my family? What about harrison? Do any of you care about harrison? He’s just a little boy. He should be home, asleep, safe in bed. But you’re all too busy defending claire, who you barely know.

Victor: Sweetheart, sit down. Now, look at me. Do you know anyone who is more careful about people coming into our circle? Or even to our family? No one is more suspicious. No one. I would not do anything to hurt my family. And harrison is part of my family. We love him as our son. Now, I brought claire in here. I thought about that. But I brought her in here as suspicious as I am. That should give you assurance that claire did not do this.

Jack: I’m not sure we can rule out claire’s involvement quite yet.

Kyle: But don’t you see? The delivery truck being late, the flowers not being delivered in their usual way. Someone could have come in here and taken harrison.

Diane: But why would the flower delivery person want to kidnap harrison?

Kyle: The delivery truck was a cover.

Traci: That’s possible, but is it likely?

Kyle: Yeah, anyone in search of a ransom could target harrison. It’s part of why we have security in the first place.

Traci: That’s very true.

Kyle: We have to at least entertain the possibility that someone else did this. And just finding claire was an accident. I mean, did I hear anything? And just assume it was traci or ashley. My instincts can’t be that bad. To leave my son alone with someone who would take him?

Jack: We need to consider every possibility. We’ve already given the police the name of the floral company. They’re going to reach out to the driver to see if anything out of the ordinary happened tonight.

Diane: And if that’s the case, we should be prepared for a ransom demand soon.

Kyle: Okay, if someone would risk it all and kidnap harrison for money, what if they freak out and think that they’ll get caught? What happens to harrison then?

Jack: We have to stop spinning scenarios. We have to stay calm.

Kyle: How can I? How can any of us?

Jack: We can because we must. To get through this crisis, to get harrison back here safely. When anyone in this house wears white,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

This year,

Summer: I know that you love harrison.

Victoria: We all do. Do you know he was my stepson before he was yours?

Summer: Then why can’t you see the danger that he’s in?

Victoria: We see the danger that harrison and claire are both in.

Summer: I can’t talk to you about this anymore. You let claire into this family and now she has harrison. That is on all of you. So do whatever it takes to find them. You at least owe me that. Find her, appeal to this so-called empathy that she has for children, and make her bring harrison home. And then make sure she never has the opportunity to hurt a child ever again. Or I will never forgive any of you.

Victor: Very sorry you had to hear all that.

Victoria: Summer’s never trusted claire. That’s why she’s blaming her now.

Nikki: I’m sorry, darling, but we all know damn well that this is jordan. Summer didn’t want to hear it because it’s too terrifying. And we have no confirmation that jordan got on that train. Look at the timing. The night of our anniversary party, I knew it would draw her out and it did, just not in the way I expected.

Victoria: Did you really think that jordan planned to kidnap claire and harrison? I mean, how could she have known that claire would find his good luck charm and go to the abbots?

Nikki: So, she pivoted. Like that night in the dungeon when we saw her swallow her own poison. When she realized she couldn’t infiltrate our party because there was so much security, she had to come up with another way to get to us.

Cole: I hate to say it, but this does sound like my aunt.

Victor: You know that she’s a master opportunist.

Victoria: What if claire was her target, but then harrison just ended up collateral damage?

Cole: Looking only for claire at the abbott house? No way.

Nikki: Okay. I know you don’t want to consider this, but I think that we have to. What if summer is right and claire did do this? What if jordan somehow was able to draw claire back in?

Jack: Thank you, officer. I appreciate the update.

Traci: Okay, did they talk to the delivery driver?

Jack: If anything, it is more confusing. The floral delivery service can’t seem to get in touch with the driver and he didn’t make any of his other deliveries tonight.

Kyle: So he and the truck are both missing?

Jack: Not exactly. The truck was abandoned on a roadside just outside of town.

Kyle: Okay, that proves it was hijacked. Someone had a plan.

Traci: Plan? That someone that was watching the house long enough to know what our regular deliveries were like.

Diane: Well, why haven’t they contacted us yet?

Traci: Because they’re waiting, they’re waiting. What are they waiting for? They’re waiting because they’re still watching the house. They’re waiting for the police to leave and they’re waiting so that their call isn’t traced.

Kyle: Or they’re waiting for the coast to be clear to drop off instructions.

Jack: We don’t know that this is a ransom or maybe something else.

Diane: Jack, I know that your team is working on this and so is victor’s and so is the police.

Jack: Yes, it’s all hands on deck.

Diane: But we will find them, right? And harrison’s going to be okay? I mean, honey, the thought of him scared and alone.

Summer: What’s happened? Has there been news?

Kyle: Yeah, we just got an update from the police. The truck that usually delivers the flowers was late tonight.

Traci: And the flowers were dumped out back.

Jack: They weren’t able to identify the driver on the security footage. The driver is apparently missing in action. And the truck is found on the side of a road.

Kyle: So, it proves that it had to have been someone else, an outsider. I mean, we should contact the fbi. Isn’t that who handles kidnapping?

Summer: Hey, hang on. Hang on. How does that prove anything? How did claire get here tonight?

Kyle: She took a ride share.

Summer: Did you see her arrive?

Kyle: No.

Summer: So she could have said whatever she wanted. She could have come here in a delivery truck and parked out back.

Kyle: Why would she do that? She didn’t need to sneak in.

Summer: So that she can make a quick escape with harrison.

Kyle: Okay, summer, I know you’re scared. I’m terrified too, but we do not have enough information to blame claire and just zero in on her. The delivery truck was here for 10 minutes. Claire was here a lot longer. So someone else, the kidnapper drove the truck onto the property.

Summer: It doesn’t mean that she wasn’t involved. The person on the inside.

Kyle: So, she’s part of some kidnapping ring now?

Summer: My grandma thinks that jordan could be behind this.

Diane: Oh, god.

Traci: Not our sweet boy.

Summer: Claire was jordan’s loyal accomplice before. On the drive over here, I had to… face the possibility that it might be true. They could be back at it again. Jack, we’ve got to get the newman and the abbott security teams on this. They need to be checking claire’s phone calls, her text messages, her web searches. And they need to be on the lookout for all three people. And we need to let the police know that jordan… is still in genoa city.

Jack: You’re right. I’ll make those calls now.

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: What is it?

Kyle: It’s claire.

Jack: Read it, son.

Kyle: Um… “I have harrison. You can keep him safe by helping my aunt. She knows the newmans will never let her go free. It’s up to you and summer. Details to follow.”

Kyle: Summer, summer, just give me a second to think.

Summer: What do you need to think about?

Kyle: Jordan could still be a part of this.

Summer: She is. And claire is her accomplice.

Kyle: What if she’s threatening claire? What if she has claire’s phone and she doesn’t know that she’s using it?

Summer: Why can’t you accept that you’re wrong about her? Why do you insist on defending her?

Kyle: Because I can’t stand knowing that my son is alone and terrified with two lunatics! That I put my son in danger by trusting the wrong person! That he trusted claire! He called her his new friend. And she did this to him. That I let this happen.

Summer: I hate this too. But the sooner you accept that she did this…

Kyle: Just think about it. If claire isn’t a part of this, if this is all jordan, our son has an ally. A protector. Someone who will look out for him and make sure he gets home safe.

Summer: It’s wishful thinking, kyle. And it’s pointless. Because the truth is our son is out there somewhere. And he needs us.

Jack: What this text tells us is that jordan, with or without claire, is willing to negotiate.

Traci: Oh, I really think that we need to look at this as a positive sign.

Victoria: How could you even say that, mom?

Cole: Look, claire has seen jordan for who she is. She would never willingly be a part of her evil plan again.

Nikki: I don’t want to believe this any more than you do. And I’m not accusing her. But how could jordan pull this off without claire? I mean, how could she even get close enough to harrison on her own?

Victoria: Claire would never take harrison of her own accord. I refuse to believe that. This is just another twisted revenge plot of jordan’S. I can’t even bear to consider what she has in mind for harrison, or why she would even target him in the first place.

Cole: Okay, listen, we’re going to find them both, all right? Everyone’s minds are racing all over the place because of the shock of this all. We’re looking for logic here.

Victor: Yeah, but there’s no logic where jordan is concerned, you know?

[ Phone ringing ] Excuse me. Yes, jack. Any update?

Jack: It all ties back to jordan. Kyle got a text from claire admitting that she has harrison and saying that he and summer were going to have to help jordan.

Victor: What do you mean help jordan?

Jack: Details to follow, but she no longer trusts that the newmans are going to let her go.

Victor: You mean, and she trusts the abbotts?

Nikki: Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. I don’t want to believe that claire is a part of this either. I mean, she was so happy at the party tonight being a part of the family.

Victoria: You know, she said it was the best night of her life.

Cole: I watched her listen to the toast, and you could just see how much it meant to her to be there.

Victoria: She would never use this as a cover to try to sneak away and help jordan steal harrison from this house.

Victor: Hold on for a minute. So, it seems claire has harrison, and some demands helping jordan are to follow.

Cole: But she has the boy?

Victoria: No, that can’t be right. Daddy, may I? Jack, did you talk to claire? I mean, did you actually hear her voice?

Jack: No, kyle got a text.

Victoria: Well, it could be that jordan has her phone. It doesn’t mean that she sent that text.

Jack: It’s possible.

Victoria: No, that’s what this is. This is jordan. She’s trying to manipulate us all again like she did before. She has claire hostage too.

Victor: Jack, I’m going to come over and see you, okay? So, seems that jordan has decided to include the abbots. Now, I’m going to go over to jack and figure this out together, okay?

Victoria: We’re coming too.

Victor: No, you’re not. You’re going to stay here. I’m going to get that woman, once and for all. I’ve had enough of this nonsense. Schwarzkopf has 125 years

Victoria: You know, I hate to say it, I hate to even think it, but what if summer is right? What if there were some signs in claire that we didn’t see? Not that she would ever hurt harrison, but maybe mom is right. Maybe– maybe jordan somehow got to her?

Nikki: If anyone can, jordan can.

Cole: Nikki, please don’t go down that road. You know better than that. This is what my aunt does. She makes people question their instincts. We know claire’s heart.

Victoria: You’re right. I do, but that means the worst could be true. Claire could be jordan’s victim again.

Jack: Well, victor’s on his way.

Diane: Oh, great. That’s all we need, for him to blow in here and insist that his way is the only way.

Traci: No, no, no. I think it’s good. Victor knows jordan. He knows what we’re going to be dealing with.

Jack: Exactly. We’re going to outsmart her. We need him. Who knows what the demands are going to be.

Kyle: Summer, harrison… harrison’s my world. I would die for him. The day I found out he was my son, my life changed in the best way possible. We are so lucky to have him.

Summer: I know.

Kyle: And he is so lucky to have you as his mother. I will move heaven and earth to get him through this. I promise you, whatever the demands are, whoever they’re from, we will meet them. No questions asked. We will get him home safe and soon.

Summer: You damn well better. This happened because of choices you’ve made. Trusting claire. If anything happens to our son, it’s on you.

Harrison: I don’t know you. I want to go home. I want my mom and dad.

Jordan: Oh, but harrison, I told you, your mom and dad don’t want you anymore. I’m your aunt jordan, and I’m going to take care of you from now on.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Objects clatter ] Yeah. Yeah. Given the kind of day I’ve had, that tracks.

[ Sighs ] Great. This is the perfect end to a whole lot of perfect days.

[ Screams ] That’s how I fel t when I watchedthe deception spot on home & heart today. Thank you. Felicia: After watching lucy’s performance, I would have bet any money that she would be the one facedown on the floor. Are you kidding me? Lucy only knows where the floor is because sometimes she drops a gummy on it. You know, the word “star” was used to describe lucy’s performance today. By who? Lucy, of course. She might breathe the same air, but she’s not one of us. You know, if you’re not comfortable with it, you should know that it’s not a legal requirement. I just need a minute to live with the idea. Okay. I’ve got protection on all of my accounts and credit cards, but now I need to just upload my entire tax return and send it to the city council. Yeah, I know. It… it makes you feel vulnerable, doesn’t it? Well, as former police chief, it makes me feel stupid. And at risk. Well, if you decide not to do it, I won’t think any less of you. As a matter of fact, I think ned quartermaine, who was the last mayor — I don’t think he sent his tax returns to the city council every year, or maybe even any year, as far as I can remember. Well, I can’t say I blame him. Ned didn’t see the need for transparency. But when I took over as mayor, I felt that city business should be. So I turned my tax returns over to the city council every year, and in return, they accused me of all kinds of things, but never of being a crook. Well, if it’s okay with you, I’ll scan the documents myself. I don’t want them floating around the office. Look, you do whatever you want to do here. There is one more thing that I’d like to discuss with you, and, uh, it’s a little bit more of a touchy subject. Touchier than sharing my finances with a bunch of strangers? It’s about my brother. Martin? Cyrus. Ah! You want a break? Unless you want to carry me the rest of the way. Why’d I let you talk me into this? Because you love me and you missed running with me. I do. But I also hate you a little.

[ Both laugh ] Can we walk? Of course. We can also call a car and go home and have some pizza. Oh. Listen, a few more runs, and you’ll have your mojo back. I don’t think it’s ever coming back, no matter what I do. Hey, don’t say that. Look, I haven’t been exactly where you are right now, but I know how heavy grief can be. And it can weigh you down. And when you move, you get stronger and it gives your brain a chance to reset. Yeah, it’s like you’re fighting for survival, right? Yeah, that’s part of it. I appreciate you, joss. I mean, sometimes I get in a rut, but you just reminded me a way to get out of it. You’re the best friend I’ve ever had. And you’re the strongest person I know, and I just want you to be able to see it for yourself. You know? What can I say? I love you. I love you, too.

[ Both laugh ] And I miss running with you. And I miss living with you, and my dorm is so sad. We have to, uh, talk out here. Vip has taken over my office. Vip? Who’s more important than you? Avery. She’s doing her homework. Well, we can’t interrupt the acquisition of knowledge, that’s for sure. What do you got for me? A couple of my men met up with cates in the manner that we discussed. And the “meeting” was interrupted when a good samaritan drove up. So a good samaritan just happened to be driving around the waterfront? Yeah. But not before we finished the work we did on cates. Where was the work taking place? About a block away from your coffee warehouse.

[ Doorbell rings ] You must be isaac. Come on in.

[ Sighs ]


Mr. Chase. I apologize for keeping you waiting. I didn’t know you were. I thought dr. Kramer was keeping me waiting. Dr. Kramer was called to the er for an emergency consult, and he asked me if I could handle his late appointments, with your consent, of course. Well, I’m already here, so let’s do this. On the condition that you call me gregory and not mr. Chase. I can do that. Good. My appointments with dr. Kramer go almost exactly the same way every time. So this may be a nice change of pace. I’ll do my best.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Ah, it shouldn’t be hard. I know the drill. You’ll ask me, uh, have I had a fall since my last appointment? And if I did, how many times did I fall and how badly did I hurt myself? What were the circumstances just prior to the fall? Is there anything specific that may have triggered it? Oh, it wasn’t all that bad. Sasha slid in and saved the day, right? Yeah, sasha saved our sales, even dressed as stable hand, and scott ran interference with lucy, which earned him a distinguished service medal. Well, so why were you on the floor, facedown, yelling into a rug? I don’t know. I-I dropped some stuff, and when I got down on the floor to pick it up, I just sort of went with it. Oh, okay. I usually yell into a pillow. What’s going on? Uh, well, hmm, lately I just feel like there are maybe too many personalities around here. Oh, you must be talking about lucy, obviously, but is there a next runner-up? It’s really hard to rank them. But everyone’s tired of lucy. Tracy is tired of all of us. Sasha’s happy to pinch hit, but she’s tired of deception. And let’s face it, brook lynn is never tired of music management or planning her wedding, but deception is coming in a distant third on her priority list. So you’re taking care of the entire business yourself. You know, I can’t really blame brook lynn for being so focused on her wedding. I mean, chase’s dad is sick. Hey, the accountants say that deception is finally in the black. Although, you’d never be able to tell by looking at my checkbook. So while you’re taking care of everything at deception, who’s taking care of you? I do n’t know what cates wasdoing on the waterfront last night, but he paid the price for it. He turn up at gh? No. I did a discreet inquiry in the gh, mercy, and founders hospital, and there was no record of a cates being admitted. However, you know, my guys — I’m sure they roughed him up a little bit, but they didn’t break any bones. But the message was definitely sent. He’d have to be smart enough to get that, and john “jagger” cates is not smart at all. He has no loyalty. No guts. Do you know when his — when his brother, stone, was dying of aids, where was jagger? Nowhere to be found. You know why? ‘Cause he couldn’t handle it. So you stepped in? Yeah, I stepped in. I loved that kid, you know? And I’d do it again. And yet, cates doesn’t seem to be overflowing with gratitude. No, he just comes with hatred. There’s something wrong with the guy. There’s something missing. I can see that. But you know what? He’s not smart. But w-why is it hard for me to believe that he would think that I-I would be at the warehouse? Hm. I know why. Why? Jason. Still hard for me to believe jason is working with cates. Why? Jason came to my house and told me to my face that he is an fbi informant. The dots between cates and jason are not hard to connect. Sonny. I’m — I’m just saying! In my experience, sometimes you could connect the two wrong dots, and it could lead to presenting a very misleading picture. Which brings me to dex heller. Dex, I didn’t know that you were staying in town. It’s good to see you. Yeah, you too. So are you working, looking for a job? Dex actually applied to the pcpd. Oh. Wow. I wouldn’t have guessed that sonny and the pcpd would be in the same career path for anyone. Yeah, it’s — it’s a bit of a career curve ball. Yes. Pay is not great, but I want to see if I can make it happen. So is that why you’re taking a last workout before dinner? Can’t hurt. Okay, come on, guys. I know that you broke up, but I don’t know why. And by watching you two right now, I don’t think you know either.


You know, I have had my doubts about deception, but at least we’re still in business, and things are looking better every month. As far as taking care of myself goes, that is not going quite as well. Who are you, and what have you done with maxie? You used to never have trouble prioritizing self-care. You mean, I was selfish and self-absorbed. No, that is not what I mean. I think it’s good to put yourself first, but ever since you’ve been a mother, you have always put everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. And as your mom, I have to say, it’s really starting to worry me. Mom, I’m tired, okay? I’m mad at everyone, and that is exhausting. Well, you know, they say it’s healthy to let go of your anger. Okay. Um, I am tired of being mad at lucy for being lucy. I’m tired of tracy and her general all-around impossibleness. I’m tired of being mad at you for the whole “spinelli faking a flood in his apartment so he could move in” thing. And I’m mad at spinelli for going along with that.

[ Chuckles nervously ] You — you have to let spinelli off the hook. I really played up the fact that I was your mom when I asked him. So he really, um… he didn’t have a choice. Okay. You’re not really helping with the whole being-less-mad-at-you thing. And I’m tired of spinelli being the one guy that I care about but I can’t let near me. What? Wait, you hear yourself? No, of course not. I’m doing more venting than listening. What you just said makes no sense. It’s completely illogical. Oh, oh, I’m illogical? Okay. Well, that’s on you, because you raised me to be polite and good with numbers. You did not raise me to be logical! Look, neither one of us is excited to talk about cyrus, but I would like to have your input. I am the wrong person to ask, laura. I can’t be objective. I know you and cyrus have history. I mean, you knew him before I knew that he and i shared a father. My goal was to put cyrus in prison for crimes I knew he committed. I compromised myself in doing that, and he retaliated in ways that almost destroyed me. I just — [Sighs] I can’t revisit that. Okay. Your feelings are completely justified. I have found myself more than once looking over the list of horrible crimes that he has committed and some of them he’s been convicted for. And most of which he hasn’T. Yeah, I know. And it sometimes takes everything in me not to roll my eyes when he shows up at my doorstep and he’s quoting scripture.

[ Scoffs ] I know there are some hardened criminals, though, who do undergo sort of a — A… a spiritual awakening. Mm. And it’s usually in between the time of their guilty verdict and their sentencing. I’m sorry. I know. I’m showing my bias. It’s okay. Most of those guys don’t end up sounding like cyrus. Yeah. Well, I’m not in a position to judge anyone. I falsified evidence to get cyrus convicted. I’m not proud of it, but I’m not ashamed of it, either. You think that I don’t understand your motives? Really? Please. Look, knowing what you do know, do you think there’s any justification at all for what sonny did to cyrus? In my deepest, darkest fantasy, I may have dreamt about vigilante justice, but it’s not something I would go through with. I want to trust the law. And that’s my dilemma. It’s not with cyrus. It’s with the man who nearly beat him to death with just his fists. It was, uh — it was great to see you, but I should get keep going. Gotta keep the heart rate up. Wait, what happened? The three of us used to be so close, and — and now we’re just standing here like we met at a party three years ago. We’ve changed. We’ve all changed. Yeah, we have changed. What happened to spencer completely derailed my life, but here we are, and we’re acting like we ain’t got nothing to say to each other? I think that we just need a little time. Have you learned nothing from what I’ve been through? You don’t get more time. This is all you have! This is it. Spencer is gone. But I have all this love for him here inside me. And my love for him didn’t disappear just because he did. You two used to be so in love with each other, it was annoying, and you’re still here. So figure it out. I will be right behind you. She’s been through too much. I think that she just needs her friends right now, and like it or not, we are those friends. Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it. I think that we just need to figure out a way to be at the same place at the same time without making everybody wildly uncomfortable. I’m in. Whatever it takes. Dex heller is dead to me. He should be dead, period. Sonny, I’m the one who discovered dex and the big deposits he was receiving into his account while you were getting shot at in puerto rico and at the metro court. Yeah, so? I haven’t been able to trace the source of the money! And you know how good I am at finding out things. I know where the money came from! Michael. Michael? Corinthos. Why would your son be paying dex? To spy on me so he can get information and give it to the fbi. That makes no sense! I know it doesn’t make any sense, but that’s the way michael is. He’s like one of the other guys. I love my son. I took care of him. But he didn’t know whether to give me a little respect and — and loyalty or spy on me and take me down! I’m sorry, sonny. I’m so sorry. But I feel like I got — I got it wrong with dex. I put him in a position he didn’t entirely deserve. Everybody makes mistakes. My first mistake was trusting dex. But you gave me the heads up and told me something was off with him. Maybe now he’s wise enough to give you a wide berth. Well, he’s not gonna mess with me ’cause he’s smarter than jagger. Well, it’s getting late, so I’m gonna get out of here and leave you to your dinner. Yeah, ava’s gonna show up here pretty soon, you know. Not that that’s any of my business, but how are things going with you two? It’s nice to have A… a woman around. Yet another thing we have in common.

[ Laughs ]


[Cat meow] -Is she? Letting her imagination run wild even though she has allergies. Yeah. Sonny corinthos? Well, we both know he’s the one who nearly beat cyrus to death on new year’s eve. Yeah. And the more I think about that, the less I feel like a city official and the more I feel like sonny’s accomplice. Well, unless you’ve been doing some side work for sonny that I’m unaware of, I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

[ Sighs ] It’s because I tell myself that sonny and i are old friends. And cyrus, although he’s a blood relative, he has committed all of these horrible crimes, and i think he’s trying to straighten himself out, but I don’t really know. The only thing I know is that he’s going about it in the most irritating way possible. I lose patience with him. I’ve slammed the door in his face. Well, there’s a big difference between slamming a door and trying to kill someone. Yes. But my point is that if it were anyone but sonny who attacked cyrus, or who attacked anyone and put them in the hospital, I would want the police to pursue that case. I would want the assailant to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. So why would sonny be the exception? And — and no one, especially not the mayor, should ever look away from a crime because it was committed by someone they thought was their friend. Are you thinking about having sonny arrested? The one thing I truly know is that that’s not my call to make. But I do know whose call it is. I’m sorry. I had such a long day. It’s like a whole week was jammed into one single day. Don’t worry about. I thought you and avery would be starving by the time I got here. I already made her dinner. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, a corinthos meatball special. Oh, wow. Lucky avery. And, you know, she told me about her day, that it was good. I put her in the — in the office.

[ Laughs ] She fell asleep on the couch. Well, thank you for doing all that. My pleasure. So, uh, why was your day long? I don’t think it’s something that you want to hear. Try me. Mm. No, I think it’s better if I don’t because some of it has to do with, uh, she who must not be named. Carly. The other one who mustn’t be named. What does nina want? You. Are you having any difficulties with your medication? Do you ever miss a dose? Oof, not on purpose.

[ Chuckles ] One of my pills is every six hours. Another one’s every eight hours. One of them’s on an empty stomach, one’s with food. Sometimes I just get frustrated and take them all at once. Not ideal. Yeah. That’s not counting the times that I can’t remember if I took them, so I take them again, or not at all. You might need a better system. Yeah. Well, my son finn is quite the taskmaster. Not only at home. Yeah. You’re not the first person to tell me that. Finn always seems to know what pills I’ve taken, when I took them, what meds are on deck. He’s probably the reason that I’m doing as well as I am. And people seem to think I am. What do you think? I try not to compare how I’m feeling today with how I was feeling a year ago. Wise man. Yeah. Not so much wise. It’s just older. But you’re — you’re young. You have kids? My partner and i have one on the way. We’re using a surrogate. Hang on. Alexis and i work together, and I think she said something about that. Um, your partner is… molly? Right. And her sister is your surrogate? Kristina. And if you work with alexis, I bet you heard a lot. I’m gonna try to keep alexis from scrubbing in during the birth.

[ Chuckles ] Well, good luck with that. Thank you. When’s the baby due? In august. Oh. Well, that’s just wonderful. What? Is there a problem? I did set out to raise a strong, capable, brilliant daughter, but I also raised you to be illogical so that you would have at least one flaw. Well, congratulations on a job well done. Let’s call it a day. What’s going on with spinelli? Okay, fine. I kissed spinelli the night we found out jason was back. Emotions were running high. Why am I just hearing about this now? Because it’s not logical for me to tell my mom about some crazy nerd I kissed unless I’m gonna follow it up with, “I think he’s the one.” Well, I don’t really see this as a problem and — and why I’m still on your grudge list. My matchmaking skills worked. Mom, you’re still on my list because I’ve broken spinelli’s heart so many times, I can’t do it to him again. And it doesn’t matter that james adores him or that georgie is crazy about her dad or that bailey lou lights up every time spinelli walks into a room. And it definitely doesn’t matter that I love spinelli and I probably will forever!


I’m a doctor, so I know that it’s important to, you know, have a proper amount of sleep, have a good nutrition, exercise moderately so that, you know, if you want to have a healthy baby, that’s the — that’s the best chance. Yeah. Absolutely. It’s all true. But, you know, men and women have been worrying about their unborn children for centuries, and in circumstances far more daunting than these. In fact, there was this famous union officer who fought ferociously in the civil war. Her disguise was so good that no one realized she was a woman until she went into labor on the battlefield, and she and her baby were just fine. Is that true? Is… I don’t remember where I read it, but, yes, it’s true. So you’re telling me that things could be worse. Kristina could be eating hardtack and giving birth during gettysburg? Eh, it’s an extreme example, I know. But my point is that long before you and I were walking the earth, babies were coming out just fine. And, of course, there are sad exceptions to everything. But worrying about them in advance isn’t gonna make them any more or less likely to happen. This is your moment. Live in it. So, what did you tell nina? Mm. Nothing. As a matter of principle, I don’t tell nina or anybody else anything about you? Well, she had to want, you know, something. Oh, she does. She wants you back. You know — you know what’s sad? You know, she — she can’t accept that the marriage is over and move on. I’m sorry it came up at all. Your marriage is between you and nina. Well, look, like I said, until she accepts that the marriage is over and she signs the divorce papers, she’s just gonna be hurting. I’m sorry that you had to go through that. Oh, it’s all right. I can sympathize with nina. Even though I know she has no one to blame for her situation but herself. Are you okay, joss? Yeah. I guess. Um, you know, it was a huge gift getting jason back, and my mom’s over the moon. She’s just been so much happier and lighter, and it kind of just energized the rest of us. You look great.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. I just went for a run, so I probably don’t smell great. I missed your smell. And your — your warmth. Your hair across my face.

[ Knocking ] Hey, hope I’m not disturbing you. The woman at the end of the hall told me I could find you here. These are for you. You remembered I like daffodils. I remember everything about you. And I’m hoping you remember I said I’d be back. I remember hearing something like that. Then I have just one more question. Can you come out and play?


Is this your way of sayingour conversation is over? Um, this is my way of saying I don’t need to see your whole “you poor girl” look in full-spectrum light. If you’re seeing that, then you’re reading me wrong. Come on. Let’s go to sit down. You know, I-I was remembering a time when I was in the exact same place that you were in. I was in love with someone, and after years of false starts and misfires, I finally realized he was the love of my life. Mac. Mac. When mac and I broke up, I didn’t think our relationship could be mended. And when it was mended, I-I was so afraid to let him in. I was so afraid that I would do something to screw it up for good. But then I listened to my heart and not my fear. And I’m so glad I did, because when mac and i were married for the last time, we both knew it was forever. Spinelli and I broke up once, and it nearly killed me. If I let him in again, how do I know nothing bad will happen? You don’T. You just need to have a little faith. I — [Chuckles] I survived a breakup with spinelli once. I don’t know if I could do it twice. Do you think that spinelli has the same worry that you do? Because I don’T. He has seen you at your worst and at your best and everything else in between, and he never turned away from you until you kicked him out and closed the door behind him. And after he was gone, were either one of you any happier? Do I need to put my glasses on, or can you tell me if it’s a boy or a girl? Oh, we — we told the ob/gyn that we didn’t want to know. So they carefully picked ultrasound pictures we can see. Secretly hoping for one or the other? I’m secretly hoping it’s a girl, but molly can never know that. And she never will.

[ Chuckles ] But I’m just hoping the baby’s healthy and it has all the necessary toes and fingers and that it doesn’t know who its surrogate was because she’s a little crazy and so is her family.

[ Laughs ] So, for your partner, you snatched up the one entirely sane member of the family. Sonny and kristina are — mm… passionate, both very passionate people. Molly is perfect, except for all these excuses she keeps making for kristina, and I think they’re going to keep rolling off my back the way they used to once the baby’s here. Well, I don’t envy you right now. All you can do is wait and worry. But it’ll pass, son. It’s about to be so wonderful. Trust me. I do. But aren’t you supposed to be the patient and I’m supposed to be the doctor? All right, in my last act as your physician, uh, let me just say eat all your vegetables, don’t drink to excess, and I’ll see you in a year for your next follow-up. Thank you. Not bad. Funny with enough sexy to pull it off. Oh, you haven’t seen my sexy yet. You’ll need to sign a release first.

[ Laughs ] Oh, okay. Well, the woman down the hall is a notary. Do I need to call her, or should I just take my chances? Oh, you’re not taking any chance on me. I’m a sure thing. Mm. So you’re saying you’re easy. For you, always.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. I need to finish scanning these before this conversation gets me in trouble with human resources. Oh. We are definitely taking a chance because we are definitely not safe or suitable for work.

[ Laughs ] Okay. A man who can make a human resources joke. Hey, well, look, once you finish that up, I can impress you some more. Maybe I could take you out to dinner someplace nice and quiet. And while you’re doing that, if I could find a sink around here someplace, I can put the flowers in some water for you. No need to do that. I am taking them home with me. Hm. I’ve just been scanning these tax returns for the city council all evening. I knew that’s what they were. I caught a look earlier. Excuse me. My tax returns are private. You don’t need to be looking at them. My apologies. Since you showed me yours, I’ll show you mine.

[ Chuckles ] I want to say something, and I-I just want you to let me say it, okay? Sure. I think I know why you’re doing this. When I found out that you were willing to kill for sonny, I came down on you really, really hard. And now I think you’re trying to prove to me, or yourself, that you’re not that guy. Okay. And, look, like if you were cleaning toilets at a middle school or rescuing puppies, I would respect that, and I would back you up 100%. But…[Sighs] But what? But not this, dex. You can’t become a cop. It puts you squarely in sonny’s sight. I am not going to go looking for sonny, badge or no badge. Dex, you know too much about his business. Eventually, he’s gonna want to get rid of you for that. So badge or no badge, it doesn’t matter. Sonny had a chance to get rid of me and he didn’T. Yes, because my mom stopped him. But he doesn’t listen to her anymore. And you know that sonny loses his mind a little bit every time he thinks someone betrayed him. I mean, look at what he did to you. He — he hung you from a meat hook and put you in a freezer the first time he thought you lied to him. Right, and you saved me. I haven’t forgotten. He’s not gonna let this go. And you know that. We might not be together anymore, but I don’t want anything bad to happen to you, ever. I have to go. Joss, wait.


It wasn’t fair of me to conspire with spinelli to fake an excuse for him to move in. Yeah. That was a rare but rather large swing and a miss for you, mom. It’s okay, though. Most of the time, you’re very wise. And it wouldn’t kill me to actually listen to you every once in a while. Oh, I didn’t expect to hear you say that. I didn’t expect to say it, but I’m tired. To be honest, I’m surrounded by a lot of wise people. Mac, you, brook lynn. I mean, even james has this really cute way of looking at life where he just cuts through the noise. Not me, though. I am the noise. Maxie. Mm-hmm. There are so many people that love you. I-I just wish you could be one of them. Oh, mom, most days, I am okay. Sometimes it’s rough, though. Yeah, but those are the days when you need to have somebody at home who loves you more than anything. Like an adorable, crazy nerd, for instance.

[ Both chuckle ] Before you go find trina, there’s some things I think you should know. Okay. I told commissioner devane I would testify against sonny. What? How? I didn’t have any hard evidence, so she said it would just be my word against sonny’S. Yeah. And anyone else that sonny got to lie for him. Right, right, but… she said it would all end up in the wash, and I would just end up with an even bigger target on my back. As if that’s possible. Well, so the commissioner suggested I become a cop because it would give me some level of protection. Now, I don’t know if it will or not, but once I started this process, I… I saw it as a second chance. Not to prove anything to you, but because it felt right to me. Well, that’s how it should be. I fought for my country, joss. And then I fought so that that man could make money by any means possible. Sonny saved my life, and he put his faith in me, and I thought I had found a home with him. But someone like that can never be home. Fighting for what is good and decent, protecting people from being victimized — that is the fight that I want. Even if you’re fighting for people like cyrus? I don’t get to pick and choose. I just, I wanted you to know where I was coming from when I applied to the academy. I appreciate you telling me. I think it’s best that any and all financial records you have remain a mystery to me. There’s nothing scary or bad in there. I’m just a consultant who’s very good at his job and very high in demand. I know. I’m familiar with one of your clients who has a frequent demand of your services. Sonny may be one of my clients, but I am not my clients any more than you’re the city’s infrastructure, which, by the way, could use some improvements. Thank you. I think.

[ Laughs ] Come on. Come on out with me. Even superheroes get hungry. That’s true. Come on.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hold on a second. Yeah. Agh! All right, I’m on — tell him I’m on the way. Fine. I will. Damn. You did say you were in demand. I was hoping you’d be the one doing the demanding. Well, next time you’re in town, let me know. Is that a demand? Not quite, but something like that. Then how can I refuse?

[ Chuckles ] What is wrong with you? I’m gonna say something I probably shouldn’T. Let’s hear it. Well, I know that we’re not together in a conventional sense. But, um, the truth is… …I really like living with you. Yeah. I like it, too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, Nina, how you feeling? Oh, a little groggy. I can’t seem to focus on my work, on the TV, everything. I miss my family, my husband. Yeah, well, the fogginess is from the radioactive iodine, which is normal. Oz is missing your loved ones during the isolation. How are you feeling? Is the nausea still affecting you a bunch?

Some, yes, but the nurse gave me medication. Good, good. Bet your mouth is pretty dry, huh? Oh, I could drink a river. Oh, you should drink a river, please. I’m gonna touch your neck if that’s okay. Let’s just see how we’re doing here.

Do you have any soreness or neck pain? A little. So, how long till I can be released and get back to the real world? It’s like we talked about. It’s a minimum two day stay. It could be up to four. We’ll keep monitoring your radiation levels and as soon as it’s safe to release you, we will. And then you’ll, you’ll have to take some precautions for about a week before you can fully enter the public life.

Ugh, Phil. No wind in sight.

There you are. What happened? Hey, yeah, sorry, I, uh, took so long. The, uh, Chomped wood out back was wet. I think the, uh, the tarp must have blown off during the storm last night. So, I had to go down to the shoreline and find some dry wood. Oh, great. Where’s Chanel? Huh? What do you mean? I, I, isn’t she here? I don’t know.

She’s out looking for you, Johnny. Well, I haven’t seen her. Oh my God. Where could she be? Uh, how long ago did she leave? About ten minutes. Okay, then she can’t have gone far. Um, I’ll call her. I’ll just call her. I’ll let her know that I’m, that I’m back.

Oh no.

Yeah, this is the last of it. You know, I, I moved in here just in October. I swear I did not have all this stuff when I moved in. Yeah, well we’re gonna have to shoehorn this into my place. And I don’t, I don’t think I can bring furniture. What? I’m just not gonna fit. No, come on. Maybe just, um, my reading chair?

Okay, I’ll see what I can do. Thank you. I don’t know. I’m glad to be getting out of here. Because the trip in Wendy? Yeah, I just don’t want them caught in the line of fire again now that Clyde’s still in my hair. God, I just, yeah, I can’t believe he wants another favor with this damn black book. I just, I wish I was there when he, when he called you.

Yeah, well, hearing his voice makes my skin crawl. I’ve been trying to track his location, he hasn’t left any trail. It’s cause he’s a reptile. He’s stealthy and lurking about, just waiting to strike. Yeah, well I’m pretty sure I’ve had more stealth training than that guy. And he’s definitely underestimated who he’s dealing with.

Yeah? You or me? Both. But I’m the one who’s gonna bring his ass to justice.

What the hell was that? That half hearted apology. You didn’t even mention Tate and his family. I did, just before you arrived. Well, it wasn’t much. AJ, I thought you were genuine about this, that you wanted to make amends. I did exactly what I said I would do. No more, no less. Well, it was a lot less, because the press has barely arrived.

You want to bury this, don’t you? Are you even sorry that you locked up Tate? Or are you just embarrassed that you have to make a public apology? Darling, I have a very busy day today. That family is lucky to even get an apology on a morning like this. I just had a hearing with the judge over this whole Stefan fiasco.

Well, how did it go? The judge said that they will take the plea agreement under advisement, which means I have no idea yet if the court is going to accept or reject the deal. And darling, I really do have to go. I have a lot to deal with and I have no time or interest in dealing with the press. Okay.

Press is here. I’ll be hungry, bro. Cause you’re about to eat some krull.

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

For you, justice is putting Clyde behind bars. For me, it looks a little different. You know, the last time I saw Clyde, I swore I would slit his throat. He tried to kill the two men that I love most in this world. I’m not gonna let him hurt Tripp again. For you. Or you. You know, I like you better alive. Yeah, so do I.

What if I can’t find this damn black book? You know, I don’t, I don’t even know where to begin looking for it. I worked at the bistro for months. I know every single inch of that place. I never came across it. Okay, we just, we have to, we have to have a plan. We can’t just bust in and tear the place apart. No, no, no, no.

Okay, so we’ll map it out. We’ll do an organized search. Yeah. I’m just glad I’m not doing this alone. And I’m just glad you told me about Clagg’s call right away this time. Thank you for trusting me. There’s no one that I trust more. Well, now that I’m in on this from the start, we can be clad at his own game.

He wants you to find Gil’s black book, we’re gonna find it. And we’re gonna give it to him. And then we’re gonna take his ass down.

I know, the isolation is kind of a drag. But, you’re gonna be back with your family very soon. And this whole ordeal is gonna be over. I know that Abe is missing you. And Chanel and Johnny are gonna be back in a couple of days. They’re up at my family cabin in Smith Island right now. Mm, yeah, I know. Chanel told me all about it.

Oh, a little honeymoon getaway. Yes, it’s very sweet. Johnny was, uh, very excited to surprise her. Although I don’t think the snowstorm was what they were expecting. More of a winter wonderland than a spring fling. Exactly. I just hope they didn’t lose power and have enough firewood. I mean, we have plenty of firewood.

Warm blankets, and cozy clothes, so I’m sure they’re gonna be just fine.

Damn, okay, uh, Chanel doesn’t have her phone, which means she can’t call us, we can’t call her. So, what are we going to do? I’m gonna go out there and find her. Honey, you circling around looking for her, her circling around looking for you, lost in the snow, it’s the last thing we need. Right, okay, yes, but, I’m taking my phone, obviously, okay, so, if she comes back, you call me, and if I find her, I’ll call you.

I’ve got 80 percent battery, I’m gonna pull up a map, make sure I know where I am in case I stray away from the cabin. Well, let me make you a thermos of something hot you can give it to her when she’s so cold, you know? Uh, only if you hurry. Oh, yeah, I’ve got the Coca Cola already made. Just take a minute.

Too late, gentlemen. I just wrapped up the press conference after my office’s public apology to Master Black and I was just discussing how well it went with my wife. Isn’t that right, Nicole? That’s bull and we all know it. You’re unbelievable. Sung a press conference early to avoid the press. That’s not a good look, D.

A. DiMera. Oh, spammy direction. Now get out of my way, news boy. Yeah, not so fast. You’re a civil servant and as members of the press in the city in which you serve, we have a few questions. More than a few.

Why don’t you start by telling us what we missed? Did you apologize to Tate Black and his parents? An apology was given, the family was here, the matter is resolved. There’s got to be more to it than that. What exactly did you tell him?

What’s the matter, you don’t want to stand by your husband while he’s getting grilled? That is not my job, he runs his own office. Right. So, why would he start the press conference early? He didn’t want the press here? Honestly, I have no idea. Were you here for it? Just at the end. And I’m really not interested in talking about this.

How’s Holly doing? She’s okay. She goes back to school today, so I’m just crossing my fingers that all goes well. Well, I hope so. For both of you. How have you been holding up? Alright. I’m at a crossroads, I think. You know, I’ve been taking care of Holly for almost a year, and um, Now I just don’t know what to do with myself.

You know, I thought I’d be raising my little boy, and, I’m sorry. Well, God has other plans for me. I just, I don’t know what they are yet.

Was the family satisfied with your office’s apology? Yes, completely. Now really, I must be going. What about Detective Michaels? Any progress finding a shooter or who set me up? The Salem PD’s investigation into Detective Michaels is ongoing. My office has been giving its full support in the search for the perpetrator who gunned down one of our brave men and women in blue.

We will keep you apprised of any developments. Oh, well, here’s Detective Michaels. Now, excuse me, the D. A. here is attempting to answer my question about the status of the police investigation into your shooting. Any leads, Detective? Is your department any closer to finding the actual shooter? Well, um, you know, a public statement about that case or any other investigation should come from our police commissioner.

Well, what about Clyde Weston? Where are you in the search for him? We’ve initiated a nationwide manhunt for Clyde Weston and his accomplice. Oh, I see. A beyond the lookout alert is a nationwide manhunt. All leads and tips will be investigated. I like this. Let’s go grab a coffee.

Look at that.

My office just sent me a transcript of E. J. DiMera’s press conference.

The drug crisis has a strangled hold over our fair city. Blah, blah, blah. At times we must err on the side of caution. Blah, blah, blah. This was the case with Tate Black as District Attorney of Salem. It’s my job to follow the evidence and prosecute those who have wronged our community. Sometimes the system doesn’t work that way, and for that I offer my apology.

Oh, what is he doing? Oh, so smug. Sleazy! This is not the way that you apologize to a wrongfully accused teenage boy! Your heart rate is rising. Maybe we can finish working a little bit. I guess I’d better. We can dive into all of Salem’s problems later, but for now I just want you to think happy thoughts.

Okay.

It’s Paulina. Check your divorce file? No, if we don’t answer she’s just going to start to worry and she’s just going to keep calling. Okay. Hey, Paulina, how’s it going? Johnny? Where’s Chanel? Uh, she’s, uh, she’s, she’s in the shower. I just, I saw it was you, so I wanted to pick up. Didn’t want you to worry, you know.

Oh, well I am worried. I heard there’s a storm out there. Everything okay there? Yeah, yeah, no, everything’s, everything’s great here. Uh, how’s isolation? Boring. Uh, but, uh, fine, I guess. I’ll get through it. Sorry to bother you. Didn’t want to interrupt your, your honeymoon. Just checking in on you two. That’s okay.

No, it’s, uh, it’s not a problem. I’ll tell Chanel you called. Yes, please, please. Tell her to call me after, um, the shower. Bye. Will do. Bye bye now.

Okay, I’m gonna go find Chanel. Paulina will never be the wiser. We don’t need to worry her with this. She’s been through enough already, okay? Right, right. Okay. Johnny, be careful out there.

St. Anthony? Patron saint of lost souls and lost things. Please help Johnny find Chanel.

Julie, this, this is a really special place you have. Yes, it is, and it’s been wonderful for the family, always such beautiful memories. And on bad weather days like this. My grandparents always had plenty of board games and puzzles for us. Sort of like the, the time capsule. The what? After the fire at our house, we found a time capsule that my grandparents had left for everyone.

And we think it must have been something to challenge the new generations, you know, like a puzzle. It is getting colder, isn’t it? Yeah, yeah, um, you know what? I’ll go help Donnie. Oh, honey, you don’t have to do that. I’ll be right back. I know, I know. But still, I think that two hands will bring back more firewood for us all.

Very practical. Thank you. Thank you, darling. Be careful out there. Paulina,

it’s Julie. Julie? Why are you at the cabin? Well, I just wanted a little overnight getaway. You know, just take a break from the house. And, uh, and I had no idea that Sarah had told the kids they could use the cabin for, for a little honeymoon. Oh, you had to stay there because of the snow. Exactly. Exactly.

And the roads are all blocked and nobody can get out. Even the ferry has stopped service. Oh, well, uh, where, where’s Chanel? I told Johnny to have her call me after her shower. Ha, but it’s the sweetest thing. They decided to take advantage of this weather. And the two of them are out, playing in the snow. Oh, well, well, I hope they, they dress warmly.

Oh yeah, yeah, I, I bundled them up, nice and toasty. Um, all right. Well, just please tell her to call me. Yeah, yes, yes. Bye bye. I’ll have her do that. Bye. Um, I’m sorry that you were put on the

spot like that. Yeah, yeah. Alexander questioning you and all. Comes with the territory. Can’t blame him when he wants to know who set him up. And my shooter is his link to finding out. Honey, I hate all the trouble that I’ve just brought you away. Clyde did that, not you. Yeah, but it made things complicated.

You still covered my ass. Yeah, I used Stefan to help you, and I would do it again. Look, Stefan’s a little weasel, but he was under Clyde’s control, like you were. And not for long.

I really do have to get going. How much time has the DA’s office recommended that Stephan DiMera serve as part of his plea deal? Considering you guys are family, any nepotism or conflict of interest would be very interesting for our readers. Oh, and yet here you are. Questioning me? Isn’t that a conflict of interest, little brother?

And in regards to the Stefan DiMera case, there was a hearing this morning. The outcome has yet to be decided. Now, while Stefan’s attorney gave it her best go, I am quietly confident that he will serve justly for his role in the distribution of tainted narcotics throughout Salem and the surrounding areas.

Actually, I already have.

Doug, darling, I am taking deep breaths. Well, Johnny’s out looking for Chanel and the moment he comes back with her and the roads are plowed out I’m gonna get the hell off this island Of course, of course, I’ll be careful darling it did hang on It’s Paulina again, can’t this woman give it a rest

Johnny said I had to pick it up, otherwise it would be much worse if she went to voicemail. Honey, hang on, hang on, just hang on a second.

Me again! Julie, what is going on out there? And where’s my daughter? And my son in law? Uh, just let me check. Darling? Darling, it’s me again. Uh, listen, I need an excuse for Chanel’s not answering Paulina. I can’t tell her the truth. Listen, if she finds out that her daughter’s missing, the woman will panic.

Well, honey, if you can’t come up with any Listen, I gotta I gotta take this. I’ll I’ll call you back.

Paulina, you’re not gonna believe this. You’re damn right I’m not. My daughter is missing. Oh, God, you heard me. Tell me the truth, Julie. Now, how long has Chanel been missing, and where is Johnny? Okay, this is exactly what happened. Johnny went out to get some firewood and he was gone a while and Chanel thought he’d been gone too long, so she went out to find him.

About 10 minutes went by. Then Johnny came back with firewood, but no Chanel. So now Johnny’s gone out again to find Chanel. Oh, my lord. I’m so sorry, sweetheart. I I I didn’t want to worry you because there’s no reason to worry. I’m sure the two of them are gonna be just walking through that door any second now.

Well, there they are. Where is Chanel?

You surprised to see me, brother? Sorry to steal your limelight. And, uh, how did this happen? Judge followed the law, agreed to time served, and I’m a free man. That’s it for today. No more questions. Thank you all for coming. EJ. EJ, we’re not done here yet. Did you advocate for your brother’s release? He’s not going to answer.

Let’s go talk to Stephen. Hey, uh, do you need me? There’s somewhere I need to be. Uh, no, no, no. Thank you for coming. I got it. Sure, but honestly, my motivation was to grill EJ about who set me up. He doesn’t seem very interested in finding out who’s behind it. Or who shot Michaels. Well, I’ll let you know if I find anything.

This is unbelievable. I’ll catch up with you later, mate. So you wound your way out of prison. How’d you pull that off? You son of a bitch. Start talking, now.

Hey, you made it. How’d the press conference go? I don’t know. What a joke. EJ called the conference before the press even arrived. We missed most of that slimeball. Did you confront him about your case? Yes. No news on that front. I wouldn’t hold your breath for anything to change there. The whole thing was bizarre.

Why? What happened? Well, get this. Stefan DiMera showed up. What?! He’s in jail. Not anymore.

You allowed Stefan to go free. How could you be so reckless? Me? You covered up the ID of your own shooter to cover for this slippery snake. Someday you’ll regret that. Speaking of which, how’s Susan doing these days?

What is your problem? You are my problem. You are my daughter’s problem. You helped put those drugs on the street that almost killed her. My God, those pills could have slipped through your hands. You know what? I get it. Holly is not a Demira. But she is family. You and I are family. Nicole, I feel terrible.

About what happened to Holly and I never intended on anybody getting hurt I only allowed those drugs to get picked up and dropped off the loading dock and that was under the threat of bodily harm to my wife You have to believe me when I tell you I had no idea those drugs were laced with opioids I Only did what I did to protect my wife.

That is it and I am so Sorry Well, you should be apologizing to my daughter. But you’re not going to because I don’t want you anywhere near her. Well, that may be difficult since we live in the same house. What? Oh, don’t be too sure about that. Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay? I, I, I don’t understand this. Chad, how could that loser be free after what he did?

I know Clyde was putting the screws to him, threatening Gabby, but he could have told the police or EJ or anyone. Someone could have done something. Because Stefan thinks he can handle everything on his own. Okay, well he’s handled it brilliantly this time. I know. I’m sorry. Why? You didn’t do anything. I know, but that’s my family.

And that should have never happened.

Paulina called again? Yes! And she knows that Chanel is in the sink. I just called 911.

Hey, Paulina, hey, it’s, uh, it’s Johnny. Johnny? Did you find her? No, not yet, but Julie’s calling for help. All right. And, and, uh, and I’m, and I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you sooner. Oh, well, how long has she been missing? I don’t know. Maybe 30, 40 minutes. My God. Oh, she’s out, out there in the snow storms.

Oh, she could freeze to death. Okay, look, Paulina, please don’t panic, all right? I will find her. I’ll search this whole island if I have to. Well, you better. Oh, my poor baby girl. It’s a snowstorm out there. She’s cold and alone. What? Oh, I cannot just sit here and do nothing.

Hey, Shelby, Shelby, it’s me. Yes, you need to connect me to the Salem Public Works. Now!

So, um, Um, Looks like I won’t be paying a visit to Stefan at the jail today, after all. But didn’t Stefan confess to helping Clyde run drugs through the Bistro? Yep. Then how the hell is he out of jail? He must have made a deal with the judge. I mean, look, he’s a demerit. Can’t be surprised that he played dirty.

Maybe there was blackmail involved. This is so wrong. You have no idea the amount of ODs I have seen come through the hospital. Holly wasn’t even close to the worst of it. There’s lives being destroyed, families are grieving. It’s unbelievable, I mean, Stephan helping to poison his own town. Maybe EJ finagled a deal for him.

You think he got him out? I mean, it doesn’t seem like they care too much for each other, but You know, these DiMeras, they’re shady tricks, who knows, right? But Stefan, he was up to his neck in this mess with Clyde. I just can’t help but wonder if maybe he did play a role in making it seem like I was the guilty party in Harris shooting.

What if he did? Believe me, if Stefan was involved in throwing me under the bus, There’ll be hell to pay.

You are not your family, Chad. You bear no responsibility for what Stefan did. Quite the opposite, actually. I mean, you wrote that article about Stefan working for Clyde. No, Everett Lynch dug up that story. He’s the one that wrote it. Okay, but you published it and you didn’t have to. You put your family’s dirty laundry in the headlines.

That says so much about your integrity. Well, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, Nicole. Haven’t we all? Look, you did the right thing. And I, you know, I remember when I was a TV reporter, And we had decisions that were hard to make, some tough calls. Wait a second, you were a reporter? Yeah, I mean a really long time ago.

Oh gosh, I remember those days. I loved it so much. You know, chasing after a story and figuring out how to tell it and working against the clock. Every day was exciting. Don’t get any ideas about reneging on our deal, brother. After that pathetic performance in court this morning. What deal? You signed over everything to me.

And you agreed to give back half. How can I give you back half a house? Shall we grab some chalk and draw a line through the center of the mansion? No, forget the house. DiMera, you and I go back to running DiMera together as co CEOs. I don’t think the board or the shareholders will want that. They will not want you back.

You’re a convicted felon. They made it very clear that it would not be a good idea for the company or you. Fine, you’re CEO, but I get everything else. I don’t think so.

You didn’t happen to tell Chad. About our little deal, did ya? Or Kristen? Certainly not. Good. Because I’d hate to see anybody else try to get their paws on what’s mine. You said earlier that your blackmail is better than my blackmail. You’re wrong. You see, EJ, if you don’t hold up your end of the deal, and give me back what’s rightfully mine, I’m gonna tell Nicole that you knew drugs were being moved through the bistro.

And that I came to you for help, and you refused to do a thing about it. You wouldn’t. Wouldn’t I? EJ, if Nicole finds out That you could have prevented Holly’s OD. She’ll never forgive you. And you know it.

Are they coming? Help is on the way. Uh, those first responders will be here as soon as they can get through and until then we just gotta sit tight. Damn it. I mean, where, where, where, where could she be? I’ve been everywhere. She could have slipped on the ice. She could have just gotten turned around with all the snow falling and Yeah, yeah, the uh, the visibility is pretty bad.

She could have just, she could have just lost the trail. Right. I just, I came back to get the, the sled in case uh, In case she’s hurt or something. I gotta get back out there and find my wife. What do you mean it’ll be hours before you can clear the bridge? Yes. Well, I realize that it’s still coming down, but that is not acceptable.

I’m the mayor of Salem and you will have the head of your plow crew call me immediately. I need you to understand that you are my mother, and I love you, and I need you. So don’t you dare talk about leaving this planet any time soon, because I will not put up with it. Do you hear me? Oh, alright, baby, alright.

You have officially gotten through to me, okay? I’m sorry, I’m so sorry. Yeah, you should be. Oh, well. Okay, how about this? Promise, I will not leave this planet for a very long, long time. And, in fact, I’m gonna go in there tomorrow and kick cancer’s ass so hard they won’t I don’t even know what hit it. That’s more like it.

Now I love you. Hang on, baby girl. Mama’s coming.

[ Upbeat music ]

Luna: It was a mistake, rj. I swear, and I’m just so, so sorry. I never meant to hurt you or betray you. I mean, I love you more than anything.

Rj: You and zende.

Zende: This has to stay between us. I don’t want anyone to question luna’s integrity. She didn’t mean for any of this to happen.

Carter: Well, you said she’s with rj now. It might not be a secret for much longer.

Zende: Luna has to be honest. She’s telling rj the truth.

Liam: Yeah, who knew hippos could stay under water so long, huh?

Hope: It felt like we were standing there forever, though.

Liam: We were.

Hope: Beth was so patient.

Liam: Yeah, that’s not a virtue she inherited from her father, ’cause I was ready to get a snow cone.

Hope: Well, if you had, you would’ve missed the expression on beth’s face when the hippo finally arose for air. It was like… it was so adorable. Thank you. Us gonna the zoo together was a good idea.

Liam: Yeah, well, it wasn’t even my idea, really. It was– it was beth’S.

Hope: Well, yes, but I just thank you for making the time to make it happen with me.

Liam: No, of course, anything for that kid. I’ve, uh… I’ve taken a lot of good things in my life for granted. Beth is never gonna be one.

Liam: I should, uh, yeah, I should probably let you get back to work.

Hope: I mean, there’s– there’s no rush today, really.

Liam: No? Really? I get, well, okay, yeah, I guess things have gotten a little less, uh, chaotic ever since…

Hope: Oh, you mean since thomas left?

Liam: Yeah, well, I figured just ’cause he was, you know, he was your lead designer that, um…

Hope: Yeah. You know he was a lot more to me than just that.

Carter: It’s obvious how much you care about luna.

Zende: Carter, I hate what this has done to her. What she has to deal with. And what she can lose. I never meant to hurt her like that. I didn’t mean to turn her world upside down. I really thought that we shared something special. And if things had happened differently, that maybe someday we could have. If it weren’t for poppy and her damn mints.

Carter: Poppy.

Poppy: Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Is luna here?

Zende: No. She’s with rj, telling him that we spent the night together.

Luna: You have to believe me, rj. Okay, I wasn’t myself, I– look, I’m not trying to make excuses for myself.

Rj: No, it sounds like you are.

Luna: No, no, I– I told you about the mints and what they did to me.

Rj: You were drugged.

Luna: Accidentally, yes, by my mother. And that’s why I left eric’s party early, and I went outside, and I– I ended up in one of the guest houses with water because I was so thirsty. And when zende came in, it was like– like I was hallucinating. Because of the drugs and the champagne. I mean, rj, I seriously, i really thought that it was you. It was him, but I saw you.

Rj: He didn’t realize that. You’re telling me that he didn’t realize that you were that out of it. And he saw you laying there, and he saw his chance, and he took it.

Luna: No.

Rj: Zende found you in his guest house and he took advantage of you?

At dot’s an ordinary pretzel

just isn’t enough.

Hope: I, uh, I have been thinking a lot lately about the evolution of my relationship with thomas. What drew us together, what we meant to each other.

Liam: Um, I don’t know. Do I need to hear the details on this? Unless you’ve got some new perspective?

Hope: Well, I am trying to look at the bigger picture now that I am a little more removed from it. How we got from point a to point b, and everything in between, and in my relationship with thomas before, you know, before he changed, when everything was different.

Liam: His involvement in what happened with beth?

Hope: No. Liam, I will never deny the fact that thomas lied to us. That he tried to keep our daughter from us. But he regrets that decision. It haunts him. And liam, I understand that you may never be able to forgive him for it, but I did. I believed that he was capable of changing for the better. And he did. And so, when he proposed, I just– I– I am asking myself why I couldn’t say yes. So now, I’m not sure. I don’t know what the future holds for thomas and me.

Poppy: You told him?

Zende: Everything. And soon, rj will know too.

Poppy: Luna’s been wanting to go to rj with the truth for a while now. I encouraged her to do it.

Zende: Yeah, after weeks of telling her not to.

Poppy: I know. And that was a mistake. One of many I’ve made in this situation.

Carter: Why the 180?

Poppy: Because I love my daughter. And keeping this secret is causing her too much pain. Luna is an honest and principled person. And lying to the man she loves, it’s eating her up inside.

Zende: It was luna’s first instinct to be honest. Tell the truth, face the consequences. We tried to talk her out of it because we knew what those consequences might be. What they would do to her.

Carter: It’s not her fault and rj can’t blame her.

Zende: She can hope he doesn’T. She can try to make him understand. But even if rj’s head gets it, his heart might not. Rj is gonna be blindsided by this. I’m not sure that he’ll be able to forgive her.

Luna: No, it wasn’t like that.

Rj: It wasn’t like that. So either you knew what was happening or you didn’T. Which is it, luna?

Luna: I– I didn’T.

Rj: But so you passed out on zende’s bed and he took advantage of you?

Luna: No, I wasn’t passed out. I was just– I was confused.

Rj: And he used that. He used that to get what he’s wanted. What he’s wanted for a really long time.

Luna: No, I wasn’t myself, okay? But zende didn’t know that. Zende didn’t realize that I was drugged. And you didn’t either. I mean, if you would’ve known, you would’ve never let me go home by myself.

Rj: You didn’t go home. You went to the guest house. Why?

Luna: Not to go find zende! Zende misunderstood why I was there. I mean, this is all that this is. It’s just a big misunderstanding.

Rj: It’s not a misunderstanding, luna. He’s been hitting on you for months. He’s never respected us. Or me. Or our relationship. Or you. Or any of this!

Luna: No, that’s not what happened.

Rj: Do not tell me that this was an accident. Don’t lie to me and tell me that it was an accident right now, luna.

Luna: I know you don’t want to hear that. I know, but it’s the truth. And that’s why I’m here, to be honest with you. And look, you’re– you’re heartbroken and I am too. And I’m sorry. It’s horrible and it kills me to see you in pain. But zende did not take advantage of me. Okay, you need to know that, rj. Please, you have to hear me out. It was those mints that messed me up. I saw– I saw you. I thought it was you. I mean, you’re my boyfriend. You’re the– you’re the person that I love.

[Coughing]

Hope: Yeah, I’ve been questioning everything lately.

Liam: Oh, yeah. I mean, the guy whose stability you’ve been defending for months just skipped town ’cause he wouldn’t commit fast enough.

Hope: Yeah, I’ve– I’ve been asking myself why. You know, why I– i couldn’t make that kind of commitment. And I don’t know. Things were going so well. Up until the point, like right until it ended, we were– we were clicking. You know, I remembered my mom. Um… she said something insightful when she saw the ring around the necklace for the first time and she wasn’t too pleased about it. She said that my involvement with thomas was a reaction. And at the time, I denied it and I didn’t think much of it until recently. Finn also mentioned that it might’ve been a bit of a rebellion on my part.

Liam: Against what?

Hope: Liam, you know my mother’s history and what she has been labeled as in the past. And I swore to myself that i would never, ever be like that. So that when I did start to feel a pull to someone else, someone who was steadfast, supportive, a one-woman man. Liam, just know I wasn’t trying to hurt you.

Liam: For what it’s worth, I– I know that. I know you weren’t deliberately trying to hurt me.

Hope: Well, I’ve had a lot of time on my hands lately to do some soul-searching and I am, uh, not afraid to admit when I was wrong. Have I turned into my mother? No. But was I maybe daring to walk on the wild side a bit? Yes. But I was playing with fire. But did I intend to hurt you? Did I set out to hurt you? No. Was I toying with thomas? No. Was I purposely trying to use him? Absolutely not. There is one thing that I am certain of. It is my feelings for him.

Poppy: I’m the one who should be paying for this. Not my daughter.

Zende: Your special mints ruined a lot.

Poppy: Well, I’m not taking them anymore. I threw them all away.

Zende: Good, but how does that help luna? It doesn’t change what happened.

Poppy: No. But… it might help us reconnect as mother and daughter.

Carter: But are you quitting for yourself or just to win your daughter back?

Poppy: Luna’s gonna need me. If zende is right and rj can’t forgive her, I have to be completely present for her.

Carter: I think that’s wise, for luna’s sake and for yourself.

Poppy: I have devoted my entire life to luna’s safety, her security, and her happiness. Every decision I made has been for her. You know, as a parent, nothing is more important than the well-being of your child. And luna has found a man that she truly loves. And she could be losing him. Because of me.

Luna: I never meant to betray you, rj. I’m so sorry. I should– I should have come to you right away. That next morning, I should’ve told you exactly what happened.

Rj: You didn’t, luna. You’ve been hiding it from me this whole time. Every moment that we’ve been together, here at the office.

Luna: I’m sorry. I was afraid of what it could do to your relationship with zende. You guys are cousins. You’re family. And you guys work together. It’s just– it’s all just a terrible misunderstanding.

Rj: No, maybe for you. Because you thought he was me. Yes?

Luna: Yes, I swear. I saw your face.

Rj: He saw yours, luna. He knew exactly what he was doing and who he was with.

Luna: Rj, wait, please. Don’t go right now. You’re too upset. Rj! Rj. Life, diabetes, there’s no slowing down. but I do love thomas.

Hope: I know you don’t want to hear it, liam. But I do love thomas. But now I’m at a point in my life, though, where I just want to focus on beth. You know, focus on her, and then myself, and the line.

Liam: You know, what’s funny is I– I feel like I’m going through the exact same thing. Kids, family, work. Of course, beth and kelly are my highest priorities, but…

Hope: So that’s it, then? That’s– that’s the whole list?

Liam: Well, I am a spencer, so there’s always world domination. Although that’s, uh, fairly low on the list at the moment. I think I know what you’re implying. And I think I have to get over this thing where I feel like I don’t have an identity unless I’m with someone. And maybe I do. Maybe I– maybe my identity is dad. Just being the best– best dad I can be.

Hope: Sounds like we are going through the same thing at the same time.

Liam: Well, look at us. Finding our way.

Hope: Who knows what the future will bring us.

Luna: Rj, I’m– I’m gonna keep calling until you answer or text me back. I just– I need to know if you’re okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: Rj? Mom.

Poppy: I didn’t see rj’s car.

Luna: He left.

Poppy: You told him.

Luna: I had to. He deserved to know. I mean, I should’ve told him that day. I should’ve told him the second I realized what happened.

Poppy: How did he… wait, you said he left. Oh, honey.

Luna: He was so upset, mom. I broke his heart. And it– and it kills me to see him in so much pain. And knowing that I’m the one that caused it.

Poppy: It wasn’t your fault. It was mine.

Luna: No. I made the decision to lie to him. And I– I deceived him. And– and that’s what hurts him the most. And now, he’s so angry and upset. And I’m afraid that he went to go confront zende. I mean, I don’t know what could happen.

Rj: You, you son of a bitch.

Zende: Rj, whoa, listen.

Rj: You knew that we were together and happy.

Zende: Fine, blame me. Don’t blame her, okay?

Rj: Damn right, I blame you!

Carly fills Jason in on what he’s missed while he was gone – especially with regard to her and Sonny. She misses the way Sonny used to be.

Ava looks for Nina at the hotel, but she’s not in her office. Ava takes the drug from Sonny’s bottle out of her purse. She phones a drug company to see if they can test the pills, claiming she’s his wife and is worried that he has the wrong ones. Nina returns. They talk about Drew, and about Sonny. Nina asks Ava if there’s still any hope for Sonny to forgive her. Ava lets her think that selling the hotel to Jason (as Diane had suggested) would make Sonny see her in a better light.

Tracy wants to go riding, but Cody tells her that her old saddle was in bad shape. Fortunately, Sasha was able to restore it. Tracy is annoyed at Cody, at first, and rude to him, but then she is thrilled that they were able to fix it.

Gregory goes to the Quartermaine mansion to talk to Brook Lynn, but she’s not there. He and Lois chat briefly about the wedding, until she’s called away. Tracy comes in later. He tells her that Alexis won’t be his date at the wedding because she has to be in NY the next morning to try to get her law practice back. Tracy tells him that he can sit with her.

Lucy is on the Home & Heart show with Haven to promote Deception’s products, but she talks more about herself than the products. Maxie and Brook Lynn are watching in horror nearby. Haven keeps trying to get Lucy to go back to talking about the product, to no avail. Maxie phoned Scott to come get Lucy out of there, but he seems to be stunned by the camera lights and does nothing. Brook Lynn phones Sasha but can’t get her, so she phones Lois. Lois tracks Sasha down and brings her to the studio. Sasha saves the day by talking about Deception, while Scott finally drags Lucy off the set. Deception’s products were not selling while Lucy was there, but they started selling as soon as Sasha showed. They all thank Sasha for her help, and Haven even apologizes to her for the way she treated her before. Meanwhile, Lucy is just happy that she’s trending on social media.

Anna looks at list of potential people that might be head of Pikeman, including Valentin. Most of them are dead or in jail. John arrives, looking very beat up. He explains how he was attacked on the docks, and he believes Sonny was probably behind it. There’s a little bit of tension between them about Sonny, and then Jason when his name comes up. John was tailing Diane, to see if she was doing anything illegal for one of her clients.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Phyllis: Do you want this risotto? So good, here.

Daniel: I’ll take your word for it, thank you.

Phyllis: All right, so tell me what lily said. Don’t leave out details.

Daniel: Well, first, I, um, I tried to reason with her.

Phyllis: Oh, I bet that went over well.

Daniel: I’m sorry, did you want me to tell you, or did you want to, yeah?

Phyllis: No, no, tell me.

Daniel: Yeah?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: Um, I told her that I understood that technically, omegasphere was owned by chancellor-winters.

Phyllis: You didn’t even have to give her that much. Carry on.

Daniel: Then I told her that I thought it would only be fair if she let me take back princess louisa and a few of the other games that I, you know, designed and developed.

Phyllis: And let me guess, she didn’t budge.

Daniel: Nope, not an inch. So then, I told her that I would be filing a lawsuit to get it all back.

Phyllis: Wow, daniel, good for you. You stood your ground, you didn’t waffle.

Daniel: It’s just sad. Sad that this is what it’s come to.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s sad for lily. You stood your ground, you followed your heart, and I support you 100%.

Daniel: Thank you. No, really, thank you, I appreciate that. So does heather. Um, but fair warning, things are probably gonna get pretty ugly between me and chancellor-winters when this all shakes out, so seeing as you still work in the division that I’m no longer a part of, um, some of that fallout might fall on you.

Christine: So, where are lucy and daniel?

Danny: Lucy is at a sleepover, daniel is out for the evening, which means we have the entire place to ourselves. And tomorrow is the big day.

Christine: Yes, it is.

Danny: Which is why I wanna prove to you, come right this way, that this tour is not gonna be all work, so I have created an itinerary.

Christine: Danny, I–

Danny: What?

Christine: I just wanted to talk to you about something first.

Danny: Yeah, no, of course, of course, great. No, we’ll talk, but first, let me show you the list. Take a look at this. Look, I don’t mean to brag, but I could have been a travel agent if the whole music business thing hadn’t panned out. Here, come on, look at this. All the stops on the tour, all the great sites, all the great restaurants. I wanna share everything with you. It’s gonna be so awesome.

Christine: Daniel, just hold on one second.

Danny: Okay. What’s up?

Christine: I just hate the thought of letting you down.

Nick: Okay.

Victor: Have you heard anything about jordan?

Nick: I’ve been talking with security all night. There’s been no sign of her. Maybe she really did get on that train out of town.

Victor: I don’t believe that for a minute.

Jack: So, how are you doing?

Nikki: Well, it’s been quite the night.

Jack: Yes, it has. That’s not what I meant. I know this is a dry party.

Nikki: I’m holding up.

Jack: Good. It was a great celebration of you and victor, but just know, sometimes even an alcohol-free party is a tough place for someone in recovery. I’m very proud of you.

Nikki: Don’t be too proud.

Jack: What does that mean?

Nikki: The party may be alcohol-free, but… I’m afraid I’m not.

Kyle: You have a good time tonight, bud?

Harrison: But they didn’t have cake.

Kyle: Well, maybe next time.

Harrison: Do you think they liked my present?

Kyle: Great-grandma and grandpa? Are you kidding? They loved it. Nikki said she put it in a place of honor, right?

Harrison: Yeah.

Kyle: Well, I’m guessing aunt traci and aunt ashley went up to bed, which means it’s time for pj’s and brushing teeth. So, if you go fast, we’ll have time for a book. Is that a deal?

Harrison: Sounds good, dad.

Kyle: Cool.

Harrison: Wait.

Kyle: What is it?

Harrison: My lucky charm. It’s gone.

Kyle: Are you sure?

Harrison: I had it in my pocket.

Kyle: Okay. Okay, well, um… huh, maybe it fell out somewhere. We can look for it in the morning.

Harrison: No, we can’T. I need to find it now. I won’t be able to sleep without it, dad. I have to find it, please!

Claire: Good night, larry. For people who feel limited What? You expect me toth my brilliant son. But if for sure go there, becaus

Daniel: I’m not saying that lily would for sure go there, because you are brilliant at what you do, but there is the chance that your position could be a casualty–

Phyllis: So what? So what?

Daniel: I thought you loved that job.

Phyllis: I did, but only because I was working with my brilliant son. But if you’re not there, what’s the point?

Daniel: The point would be to continue to make a living, which you need to do.

Phyllis: I can get a job anywhere.

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: No, don’t mom me. What? You expect me to keep on working there with lily and devon looking over my shoulder all the time? And me knowing that they unceremoniously fired you for some childish reason? You’re the best thing to ever happen to that company, by the way. You know what? I should go in today and quit in solidarity. In fact, I should get your entire team to walk out. Omegasphere is amazing, and it’s yours, and what better way to prove it?

Danny: Why– why are you apologizing? I– I’m confused. I’m sorry.

Christine: Okay. Um, yesterday, out of the blue, I got a call from an old colleague who told me about this huge case where the accused is specifically asking me to represent them.

Danny: Okay.

Christine: Normally, I would just– I would explain that my practice is being suspended, but I’ve known this person for a really long time and they’re in a bind.

Danny: Um, how much time are we– we talking about?

Christine: Months.

[ Danny sighing ]

Danny: So, okay. So, what you’re saying is you won’t be able to go on the road with me.

Christine: No, I’m just saying, like, I’m really torn because there’s this part of me that wants to shut my laptop down and turn off my phone and take off. I have been so looking forward to this adventure with you, and I still am.

Danny: What about the other part?

Christine: The other part is I’m an attorney, and when a once-in-a-lifetime case comes up, I can’t help but being pulled back in. But danny, what you and I have, it’s also a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing. So, what do you do when– when two things collide?

Nikki: The other day, after jordan’s cohort sent me that drink, I really freaked out and I immediately went to buy a bottle of vodka.

Jack: Why didn’t you call me first?

Nikki: I know. I should have, but I didn’t think I would be able to get through tonight without it. So, I convinced myself that I could moderate how much I drank until after the party, but I really needed it because I was certain that jordan was gonna show up and try something.

Jack: Wait, wait, back up. Why would you say that?

Nikki: Part of the reason for this party was to lure her out of hiding.

Jack: Wait, this was victor’s idea?

Nikki: No, it was mine. Jack, I– I– I am just sick of running. I am tired of looking behind my shoulder, waiting for something terrible to happen. So, I thought I would use this event as a way to bring her out in the open, but I guess I was wrong because she didn’t show, at least she hasn’t yet.

Jack: So, you have been fortifying yourself all night long with alcohol in the hopes that this psychopath would catch up with you and find you?

Nikki: That was the plan.

Jack: It’s a bad plan.

Nikki: I realize that now, but in the midst of everything, something amazing happened.

Kyle: Okay, I’ve checked outside, we’ve checked in the car, but bunny isn’t there.

Harrison: His name is lucky-bun now. I was so stupid to lose him.

Kyle: No, no, no, no, no, don’t think that. You know what I think?

Harrison: What?

Kyle: I think maybe we left it at the table we were sitting at. Do you remember taking it out of your pocket when we were there?

Harrison: Maybe.

Kyle: Well, I bet you an ice cream sundae it’s sitting right there safe and sound.

Harrison: Can we go back and get him?

Kyle: I’ve got a better idea. I’ll call mom and get her to bring him over.

Harrison: Right now?

Kyle: Right now. Now, go upstairs and get ready for bed. I’ll be up in a minute, okay?

Summer: Excuse me.

Nick: I mean, do you still get the phone calls?

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: Hey, is everything okay?

Kyle: We think harrison left his lucky bunny charm at the table we were sitting at. Do you think you could take a look and see if you can find it?

Summer: Oh my gosh, yes. Um, here, hold on, I will look. I don’t see it anywhere.

Kyle: Damn, he’s so upset. I hope the waitstaff didn’t toss it.

[ Doorbell ringing ] Um, someone’s at the door. I’ll check back with you in a bit.

Summer: Okay, bye.

Claire: Missing someone? (Vo) it’s shrimp your way. Stay there and, oh, to see you lose your job

Daniel: Listen, I appreciate your loyalty, but I don’t want to see you lose your job over this.

Phyllis: Oh, you act like it’s the only job in the world.

Daniel: You have to work. That’s a fact.

Phyllis: What do you expect me to do? Stay there and, oh, tiptoe around lily and devon? Little– little office mouse? After I know they sold my son’s life’s work? I’d rather live on the street.

Daniel: Oh, you’re just gonna quit?

Phyllis: I haven’t figured out my next move, actually. Don’t worry. I’m not someone who just waits for something to fall in their lap. I go and get my opportunities.

Daniel: Ooh, there it is. That’s that tone. Ha ha, I know that tone. That’s the one that sets alarms off in my head. You’re already cooking something up, aren’t you?

Phyllis: Not necessarily.

Daniel: Don’t “not necessarily me.” I know that look. What kind of opportunities are you talking about?

[ Phone pinging ]

Adam: I’m sorry.

Sally: No, don’t apologize.

Adam: I don’t know why I would be expecting to hear from connor at this hour. It’s just reflex, I guess, or wishful thinking.

Sally: Look, I know this is hard, but maybe in this case, no news is a good thing.

Adam: Um, I wish that I could believe that.

Sally: Think of it this way. The clinic hasn’t called you to come pick up connor and bring him home, you know? So maybe they’re making progress and the therapy is working.

Adam: Oh, god, I hope so.

Sally: You’re gonna make yourself sick with worry. What can I do? Please tell me how I can make this easier for you.

Kyle: Oh, you are the hero of the hour. Harrison will be so relieved to see that, thank you.

Claire: Oh, it was no big deal. I just happened to see lucky-bun sitting there.

Kyle: Right, yes, his new name. But you didn’t have to bring it all the way over. You could’ve called and i would’ve picked it up in the morning.

Claire: And risked the bad luck jinx?

Kyle: You got me there. Clearly, I have never had a lucky charm.

Claire: Well, they’re very important things, you know. A friend, a protector, something to count on, no matter what. I know it sounds childish, but–

Kyle: No, no, not at all. What were you about to say?

Claire: I know how important it is to harrison and I didn’t want my new little friend to go even a single night without it. I know when I got my lucky charm taken away, I… I didn’t sleep for a week.

Kyle: Wait, wait a minute. You said you lost it.

Claire: I lied.

Jack: Amazing is a pretty big word.

Nikki: Well, that’s what it felt like.

Jack: Tell me more about what happened.

Nikki: Well, I had my flask in my purse and whenever I would feel anxious, I would slip away and take a shot.

Jack: You didn’t seem tipsy, you didn’t seem drunk. I’m pretty good at recognizing those signs.

Nikki: That’s because I was able to stop. That’s the amazing part of being here tonight with all of my friends and family, knowing how much they support me. I was able to fight the urge to keep drinking. I didn’t want to let down the people who care about me, particularly you.

Jack: No, more importantly, you didn’t want to let yourself down.

Nikki: I felt strong. For the first time, I feel like I can beat this thing. It was like somebody opened a curtain and let the light back in. I didn’t need the alcohol. I had love all around me and I felt free.

Jack: Wow.

Victor: Everything all right?

Nikki: Everything is more

Nikki: Everything is more than just all right, darling. It’s been a wonderful evening.

Jack: I was just telling nikki how proud I was that she faced down her urge to drink tonight.

Victor: Is that right?

Nikki: Well, yes. I– I had it at first, but then it passed.

Jack: And kudos to you for having an alcohol-free party like this. Very thoughtful and I think it helped.

Victor: Thank you, jack. I’m very proud of my wife.

Jack: Well, thank you both. A lovely evening.

Victor: Same to you.

Phyllis: I don’t want to talk about me, let’s talk about you. I’m more interested in what your plans are.

Daniel: You’re changing the subject.

Phyllis: So, if you win the lawsuit, will you take your games and create another company?

Daniel: I don’t know. I haven’t thought that far ahead. I’m just trying to take it one day at a time.

Phyllis: It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

Daniel: Yes, talking to you is exhausting.

Phyllis: No, smart guy, not talking to me. Standing up for what you believe in. You’re just trying to save your family. And I understand that. You shouldn’t have to pay for that.

Daniel: Mom, I don’t–

Phyllis: I mean, I know that it’s embarrassing for lily, I get it. I understand, but it’s not like the two of you were a great love story.

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: You and heather, on the other hand, you are a great love story. You’re trying to raise your daughter together. I mean, you shouldn’t have to pay for that.

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: Don’t “mom” me.

Daniel: Could we please talk about something else?

Phyllis: Okay. What do you want to talk about?

Daniel: You and dad? I mean, you were spending a lot of time talking about your friendship and how, you know, that was a sign of bigger things to come and then nothing.

Phyllis: Okay, well, there’s nothing to tell. Um, we took a step back and we realized the timing wasn’t right and we would not pursue things.

Daniel: Or maybe you finally had to admit to yourself that romance was never really on the table.

Danny: I can’t choose for you, cricket. As much as I’d like to, because I would probably make the selfish choice, but this is your career and I’m not gonna do anything to stand in your way.

Christine: Yeah, I don’t even know if I want this career anymore.

Danny: Would it really be a debate if you weren’t really missing the action here?

Christine: I think it’s about being wanted, you know? That feeling when someone says, “you’re the answer. You’re the only one who can do this.” So, when I got that call…

Danny: Hey, I get it, okay? I really do. I mean, I get this feeling whenever we book a tour or sell out a venue. I can’t judge you for wanting that same sense of satisfaction.

Christine: But you give me that feeling too. That feeling of being wanted and it’s not about my skills or my education. It’s about me and I want you and it’s not about your singing or your image. It just, it feels right when we’re together.

Danny: Because it is right. I’m not gonna hold you back. I mean, we both love what we do and that makes us probably the luckiest people I know and… well, I mean, this case isn’t gonna last forever and neither is my tour, so.

Christine: I know, I know. I can’t help feeling that this is our last best chance. That we found each other again because it was meant to be. So… how can I walk away from that?

Claire: I lied about my lucky charm because I didn’t want harrison to hear the real story.

Kyle: Right, not for kid’s ears. Got it. Well, I appreciate you trying to protect harrison, but I’m old enough to hear the real story, if you feel like sharing.

Claire: My aunt jordan always had to have control over everything. Back then, I didn’t realize that was partly because I was a stolen baby and she had constructed my entire life as one big lie. I was just a kid and I just wanted to do kid things. So, one day I was playing in the backyard and I found a stone laying in the grass. The white– looked like a crystal. I don’t know if it really was one, but I knew it was special to me, at least.

Kyle: Your lucky charm.

Claire: I hid it from jordan because I knew she wouldn’t want me to have something like that to count on. And when I was alone, I talked to it. I wished on it. I wished for friends and a real family. A happy life. And then one day, she caught me doing that. She snatched it away. And she told me that wishing was for fools, that I couldn’t count on luck, I could only count on her.

Kyle: Wow. I am so sorry to hear that, claire. That must have been awful for you.

Claire: It was just my life. It’s getting late. I should go.

Kyle: No, no. Please, stay.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Announcer: The youngpatio seasonis all about saving.

Phyllis: You know, hey, hey, why’d you bring up your dad to me again? When you’re just gonna shoot down the idea?

Daniel: Because I know that it meant something to you. Being around him and, you know, feeling that support that dad is so good at. And, you know, let’s be honest, like a– a– a danny romalotti friendship, that’s like a stamp of approval. He doesn’t really hang out with people that suck.

Phyllis: I beg to differ.

Daniel: I bet you would. Listen, all I’m saying is if you wanna talk, I’m here to listen.

Phyllis: Thank you, I don’t wanna talk.

Daniel: Fine.

Phyllis: Okay, I moved on, by the way.

Daniel: Great.

Phyllis: Okay, is that a sarcastic great or a real great?

Daniel: No, that is– that is me dropping the subject, even though I know you’re hurt by this.

Phyllis: Okay, because it seems to me that you wanna say I told you so.

Daniel: I’m not gonna do that, no.

Phyllis: Okay, but I need to remind you that I’m the one who predicted you and heather and I never once said I told you so or asked for applause.

Daniel: Wow, well, you got me there. You were right, I was wrong. Let’s have dessert.

Phyllis: Okay. And I just wanna bring up for the last time, danny and the bug, they’re together. They’re– he made his choice. It’s, like, the most ridiculous choice, but he made it nonetheless, right? And– and I’m moving on. I’m not gonna let it slow me down, that’s for sure.

Danny: I have an idea.

Christine: Please, anything.

Danny: Don’t make any decisions right now. Just think about it, sleep on it, okay? And we’ll decide tomorrow morning, all right?

Christine: You really think that’s gonna make it easier?

Danny: Cricket, look at me. Hey. If this is gonna be our last night for a while, let’s enjoy every single second we have together, okay?

Sally: Look at them. After all the drama and conflict victor creates, to see the depth of love he still has for nikki after all these years is… really inspiring.

Adam: Well, the newmans do love hard and profoundly.

Sally: Good to know. Do you wanna go upstairs?

Adam: Come on.

Claire: This is all still so new to me. Being able to have adult conversation, just be a person without jordan monitoring me or judging my every move.

Kyle: I don’t know how you survived her.

Claire: I didn’t know any better. I, uh, my whole life, from the time I was little, just revolved around her needs and her grudges, her need for vengeance. And I went along with it because I was afraid of what would happen if I didn’T. Guess I’ve been afraid my whole life.

Kyle: You don’t have to be afraid anymore. You have friends, you have a family, you have a new life.

Claire: I know. And I get to make all these choices all by myself. Can be kind of overwhelming sometimes, but every day, I get a little bit more used to finally being free.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Harrison: Oh, hi claire.

Claire: Hey, harrison.

Kyle: Guess what? Look at what your new friend, claire, brought you.

Harrison: You found him! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Did you know… I’m thinking more liat a trick question?

Adam: So, I have a question now.

Sally: What?

Adam: Where do you see yourself in 40 years?

Sally: Well, that is a trick question.

Adam: How is that a trick question?

Sally: Because you’re angling to see if you’re still in the picture.

Adam: Well.

Sally: I hope so.

Adam: Well, I personally think that we could do 40 years together, easy. I’m thinking more like 50, 60.

Sally: That’s pretty ambitious.

Adam: I mean it.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Really?

Adam: I don’t want it to end. I never want it to end.

Nick: How did you get past security?

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, are you gonna give me a hard time too?

Nick: No, but the guards aren’t supposed to let anyone in who isn’t on the guest list. It doesn’t matter who they are.

Phyllis: Okay, okay, sorry. Jeez. They were very good at their job, by the way. I got past the gauntlet and then, you know, someone recognized who I was and they said I can come in. I didn’t know there was a party. Obviously, I wasn’t invited.

Nick: Summer didn’t tell you that it’s my parents’ 40th anniversary?

Phyllis: Mm-mm. Congratulations to your parents. That’s incredible, 40 years. Well, obviously summer didn’t want to remind me that I’m still persona non grata, so that’s why she didn’t tell me.

Nick: Yeah, that’s not like you.

Phyllis: What’s not like me?

Nick: Feeling sorry for yourself.

Phyllis: I’m not feeling sorry for myself.

Nick: You sure about that?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Nick: You’re not fishing for like a supportive compliment?

Phyllis: No. I mean, but if you want to give me a supportive compliment, I’ll take it.

Claire: Hey harrison, did you know that there are all different kinds of lucky charms?

Harrison: Really?

Claire: Yeah, if you find a penny on the street and you pick it up, it’s a lucky penny. Or if you look really hard in the backyard, you might find a four-leaf clover. Those are really good luck.

Harrison: I’ll have to look for one of those tomorrow.

Kyle: Mm-hmm, you got it.

Claire: Of course, in india, they believe that elephants are good luck. But it might be kind of hard to fit one of those in your pocket.

[ All laughing ]

Kyle: Okay, harrison, time to go up. You’ve had a big day and you need the shut eye.

Harrison: You said I could get a book. Can claire read it to me?

Claire: I couldn’t step on your dad’s toes like that.

Kyle: No, I think it’s a great idea.

Claire: You do?

Kyle: You two go upstairs. I’ll be up to say goodnight later.

Harrison: Thanks, dad.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

[ Phone ringing ]

Summer: Kyle, hi.

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Sorry, I still haven’t found it.

Kyle: It’s okay, problem solved. Claire found the bunny and brought it over.

Summer: And how– how did claire come to find it?

Kyle: She didn’t say, but I’m relieved. And so is our son.

Summer: Wait, is claire still there?

Kyle: Yeah, she’s upstairs reading harrison’s story.

Harrison: Do you know this one?

Claire: Let me see. This is one of my favorites.

Harrison: I have to go to the bathroom, but I’ll be right back.

Claire: Okay.

[ Claire screaming ] I would’ve called yesterday.

[ Indistinct chatting ]

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: My goodness.

Summer: Hi.

Phyllis: Hey, oh, look at you. Surprised to see me here too. Listen, I told your father that you probably didn’t tell me about the party because you wanted to save me the embarrassment of knowing I wasn’t invited. Is that true?

Summer: Well, I didn’t know I was supposed to tell you. It’s kind of a newman thing.

Nick: She’s probably just worried you were gonna try and crash.

Phyllis: Listen, I was having a hard time for a while, but then I pulled myself out of that. You know? You both should know that things are about to bust wide open for me at chancellor-winters.

Nick: Phyllis, what are you up to?

Phyllis: You’ll know when the dust settles, but just know that, uh, I have big plans.

Summer: Be careful, mom.

Phyllis: Baby, you know I’m always careful.

Christine: I’m so happy.

Danny: So am I.

Christine: So, why can’t i just enjoy what we have and let the rest go? What is wrong with me?

Danny: Nothing is wrong with you, my love. You just have to make a decision, that’s all.

Christine: Oh, god, what if my decision keeps us apart?

Danny: No. That’s impossible. Listen. It took us this long to find each other, didn’t it? And in my book, it’s exactly as you said. You and I… cricket and danny are meant to be. So, whatever decision you make, it’s gonna be the right one.

Christine: I’m just–

Danny: Sh. Sh. It’s okay, it’s okay.

Michael: Victor, nikki, we are leaving, which means your party is officially over. Come here.

Nikki: Thank you so much for coming.

Michael: Oh, congratulations.

Lauren: So nice to see you. Happy, healthy years ahead.

Michael: Victor, congratulations.

Victor: Thanks, michael. Nice to see you.

Michael: All right.

Victor: Thank you for coming.

Michael: Take care.

Lauren: Bye bye.

Victor: Appreciate it. Thank you.

Nick: All right, party’s winding down, so I’m gonna take off too. Security is not gonna leave until everyone’s gone. The follow-up car is all set up for whenever you guys wanna leave.

Victor: No sign of jordan?

Nick: None.

Victor: Oh, okay. Anyway, son, thank you for making this a special evening for your mother and your father, okay?

Nick: Well, you two deserve it. I love you both. I’m just sorry that it had to come with, you know.

Victor: I know.

Nick: All right, good night, dad.

Victor: Good night, son. Yep.

Nick: Love you, mom.

Nikki: Love you too. Good night, son. Well, I was wrong. I thought jordan wouldn’t be able to resist this.

Victor: Well, at least she didn’t spoil anything. But I promise you one thing. I’m gonna catch her.

Nikki: I know. But it’s hard not to think that she’s still somewhere out there coming up with new ways to torment us.

Victor: And I don’t want you to think about that at all. This is an evening for the two of us. Just the two of us. I love you.

Nikki: I love you. Thank you so much.

Kyle: The abbott house. 603 glenwood. No, this is kyle abbott. Look, you need to send someone here right away.

Jack: Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong?

Kyle: It’s claire. I think she’s taken harrison.

Diane: What?

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Carly: I mean, even if Nina doesn’t tell Sonny directly, she’s gonna make sure that he hears that I slept with John Cates. But just to be clear, I did not.

Jason: Copy that.

Carly: That’s new.

Jason: What?

Carly: I just — I don’t ever remember you saying, “copy that” before. Anyway , I don’t know what I’m worried about. I mean, Sonny already considers me a traitor, so why would he care who I slept with?

Jason: Because he loves you?

Carly: Yeah. I don’t think he does anymore.


Good afternoon, Ms. Jerome.

Hi, Madison. I think Ms. Reeves is expecting me.

Oh, unfortunately, she’s been called away to guest services.

Oh, I don’t mind waiting. [ Sniffs, exhales ] [ Clears throat ] Hello. Is this applied analytical? Good. I’m — I’m hoping you can help me. I think that there has been a mistake with my husband’s medication. If — if your lab was to test his pills, would you be able to identify the prescription and the strength? I can’t ask his pharmacy. They’re online. Oh, well, that’s wonderful. Thank you so much. I’ll messenger them today.


Lucy: Well, needless to say, I have every intention of returning as the mistress of ceremonies for the nurses’ ball this year…

Brook Lynn: So, how we doing?

Lucy: I just feel like it…

Maxie: See for yourself.

Lucy: …Isn’t quite the same without me.

Haven: Oh, well, I love the nurses’ ball. I watch every year.

Lucy: Oh, you do? Well, thank you. That’s very kind of you. You know, sometimes we do have very special guests.

Haven: Oh, yes, yes, and the guests always look so fabulous. So, tell us, what role does Deception play in all that gorgeous hair and makeup?

Lucy: Oh, uh, well, of course, Deception is so very important. But, you know, I have to say it’s not quite as important as wardrobe. I mean, especially my wardrobe, because sometimes I have had as much as a dozen gown changes. Of course, like I mentioned, I was unable to host last year. It was the first time ever. But I was lucky because I was able to run things remotely. Not the same as being there…

Maxie: Don’t worry. I called the cavalry.

Brook Lynn: I hope you mean a literal regiment of soldiers that will thunder in on horseback to distract the viewers from this disaster.

Maxie: No, no. Only one soldier. But the best one for the job.

Brook Lynn: Well, they better get here soon ’cause we’re going down fast.

Lucy: You know, I-I started Deception. I mean, it was my little brain child back in the ’90s.


Gregory: [ Sighs ]

Lois: Come on in. Is there something I can get from my favorite in-law to be?

Gregory: Oh, thank you, Lois. I-I don’t want to take up too much of your time. I was just hoping to get a quick word with Brook Lynn.

Lois: Oh, oh, you just missed her. She’s off doing something with Deception. Is this about the wedding?

Gregory: As a matter of fact, it is.

Lois: Well, then, you have come to the right person. As the mother of the bride, it is my honor and my pleasure to make sure that this wedding comes off without a hitch.

Gregory: [ Sighs ]


[ Knock on door ]

John: Am I interrupting?

Anna: My god, what happened to you?


Lucy: Now, I am sure that some of our viewers do remember that the ’90s were a very different time.

Haven: You know what I remember most about the ’90s, Lucy?

Lucy: No, Haven, do — do tell.

Haven: The hole in the ozone layer. The hole.

Lucy: T-the hole?

Haven: Yes, yes, yes. It was an environmental crisis that affected everyone on earth, not just Port Charles.

Lucy: Ah, the ozone layer.

Haven: Yes, and you know what layers were affected the most, Lucy? Hmm? The epidermis and the dermis. Oh, I mean, I’m telling you, we could have used a face cream like the one you brought us today.

Lucy: We sure could have.

Haven: [ Laughs ] Well, tell us about it.

Lucy: But you know what? We didn’t have that. So I am just thinking that maybe subconsciously, that is exactly the idea that made me want to create Deception.

Haven: And you did. And now Deception and home & heart would like to invite our home audience to enjoy Deception’s new face cream at home.

I never thought I’d hear myself say this, but thank god for Haven.

I don’t know how much more of the Lucy chronicles I could take.

Oh, don’t worry, the cavalry is here.

Scott: Hey, Maxie, I got here as quick as I could.

Brook Lynn: This is the cavalry?

Shh! Scotty, this is what we need you to do. Get up on that stage and get Lucy to talk about the product. Or just get her off the damn stage.

Scott; I’ll take care of it.

Haven: Lucy, I mean, come on, just a little dab just to show what it does.

Lucy: Oh! [ Laughs ] Oh, uh, no, Haven. Thank you so much. You know, like I mentioned, this cream looks best, starts and works best, on completely washed skin. You do not put it over makeup.

Haven: Oh, well, I’m sure we can get someone up here to get that makeup right off your face.

Lucy: On camera?

Haven: Oh, yes, on camera. And your washed, un-made-up face will be in a nice, tight close-up.

Lucy: Well, Haven, you know, that’ll only happen over one of our dead bodies.

Haven: Yes —

Scott: Well, it’s a good thing I just showed up.

Haven: Um, excuse me. This is a closed set.

Lucy: Oh, no. Actually, uh, it’s not a closed set to a dear, dear, uh, friend. Um, also, he happens to be the lawyer for Deception. So, um, viewers out there, please welcome noted personal injury and defense attorney Scott Baldwin.

Scott: Mm. Now, um, thank you for the warm welcome. About this face cream —

Lucy: Oh, you know what I’m thinking? I-I just — memory lane. You know, 2013 nurses’ ball, we were on the stage at one point, and it takes me back to that nurses’ ball. Uh…[ Chuckles ] You know, um, actually, that was a time when 12 years went by and we did not have a nurses’ ball. And I knew I could not allow that unholy hiatus to go on one more year.

Oh, well, it was worth a shot.

Deception was nice while it lasted.

Brook Lynn: Don’t give up yet. I’ve got one more hail Mary.


Tracy: Cody, where are you? I’m ready for my ride!

Cody: Oh, hi.

Tracy: Hi.

Cody: Hi, Tracy. You’re, uh, running a little late.

Tracy: Well, I hope that means my horse is saddled up and ready to go.

Cody: Uh, actually —

Tracy: Look, I wanted to tell you that I haven’t ridden in a while, so I want to just take him for a walk around the arena, just till I get my seat back.

Cody: Yeah. O-okay, but, uh, so about the saddle…

Tracy: What about the saddle? I love that saddle. I rode that saddle for years! It’s a multi-generational saddle.

Cody: But like you said, you Haven’t used it for a while and there was a problem with the way that it was stored.

Tracy: That’s a dressage saddle. It was custom-made. If there is a problem with it, you are out on your hind end with no pillion to cushion you.


Gregory: I’m sure Chase and Brook Lynn’s day will be hitchless, especially with you at the helm.

Lois: Oh, well, you’re right, of course. But thank you for noticing.

Gregory: I just call it like I see it.

Lois: Aw, well, sit down. Sit, sit, sit. So, come on, Gregory. Tell me — what’s worrying you?

Gregory: Well, it’s a-a small thing, really.

Lois: Do you need to change your, uh, entrée from chicken to fish? Is that it? Because, you know, there’s plenty of time. Oh, wait! Speaking of time, do you happen to have a copy of what you’re gonna be saying at the altar? I-it’s not because I need to approve anything at all. It’s just, I need to know how long it’s gonna take.


Jason: Carly, how could Sonny stop loving you?

Carly: People fall out of love all the time, Jason. You know that. Come on.

Jason: Yes, but not you and Sonny. Maybe you can’t live together. That’s happened before. But you still love each other.

Carly: I tried! I mean, Sonny was different after he came back from Nixon Falls. I mean, he was infatuated with Nina.

Jason: Yeah, he was different.

Carly: And to Sonny, nothing that happened could ever be Nina’s fault. It was my fault. It was your fault. Hell, he thinks we went behind his back. He thought I was unfaithful to him. And when we got word that you had died, I felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. But to Sonny, he barely noticed you were gone.


Cody: Are you done threatening me, or is there more?

Tracy: It depends. I have to see my saddle.

Cody: [ Chuckles ] I thought you’d never ask. Sasha! Turns out Sasha has a way with Havana leather, no matter how old or water-damaged.

Tracy: I can’t believe that’s the same saddle.

Sasha: It’s a wonder what some balm in a sheepskin glove can do.

Tracy: Wow. I had no idea when you chose to leave Deception that it would work out so well for me.

Sasha: [ Chuckles ] You’re welcome, Tracy.

Tracy: What are you waiting for? Put the saddle on the horse.

Cody: Yes ma’am.

Tracy: I’ll be outside.

Cody: Thank you. You just saved my hind end.

Sasha: Least I could do. It’s a nice hind end.


John: By all appearances, I was the target of a mugging.

Anna: What do you mean, “by all appearances”?

John: I was attacked by two guys near the waterfront, came out of nowhere, laid me out, but didn’t get around to robbing me. Now, it could have been because the beating was interrupted, or —

Anna:  Or it could have been orchestrated.

John: Yeah. I’d bet my badge on it.

Anna: I mean, for argument’s sake, you know the waterfront isn’t the safest part of town.

John: Yeah, especially this area of the waterfront

Anna:  — a block from the Corinthos coffee warehouse.

John: Coincidence?

Anna: That depends. What were you doing snooping around Corinthos coffee?


Carly: Sonny told me he was in love with Nina, and then he tried to walk it back, telling me that they were leftover feelings from Nixon falls or something like that. But I told him I wanted a separation, but Sonny decided that we were gonna reconcile. More than that, he wanted to renew our wedding vows, and he gave me an ultimatum. If I didn’t show up, he’d know we were over.

Jason: Did you show up?

Carly: Yeah, I showed up. I was an hour late, and by then, Sonny was in bed with Nina. I literally walked in on them.

Jason: I’m sorry, Carly.

Carly: It was awful. It was horrible. It was a big fight. Sonny blamed me. [ Laughs ] And that’s when I stopped caring. That’s when I stopped caring what Sonny thought and I stopped caring how Sonny felt, and I asked him for a divorce.


Cody: Well, I better get the lady of the manor mounted.

Sasha: Does she know she can’t fire you?

Cody: Oh, yeah. Sure. But it doesn’t stop her from trying. Speaking of employment, this would be a great time for you to fill out those applications for all those jobs you don’t want. Do it.

Sasha: Or I could straighten up the tack room.

[ Cellphone vibrating ]


Gregory: I haven’t settled on a final draft of what I’m going to say. I’ve been rewriting myself for weeks now.

Lois: I totally sympathize. I know that you want it all to be perfect. I’m just saying that when you do know what it is you’re gonna be saying, would you mind sending me a copy? I need to time out the ceremony so that I can let the kitchen at the metro court know when to start firing the food.

Gregory: I hadn’t realized.

Lois: Oh, it’s crucial. Oh, it’s totally crucial. You have to have the food come out to the table when it’s hot, not when it’s overdone, definitely not when it’s been heated under those heating lamps, those contraptions — they need to be outlawed.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Lois: Excuse me for one second. Oh, ah! Ooh, it’s Brook Lynn. It’s Brook Lynn. Wait, hold on. Hi, honey. Oh, I’m sitting here with your future father-in-law.

Brook Lynn: Ma, listen! I need you to do something for me. It’s an emergency.

Lois: Would you excuse me for one moment, please?


Lois: Sasha!

Sasha: Hey!

Lois: Brook Lynn has been trying to reach you.

Sasha: Oh, sorry. Hey, where’s my phone?

Lois: There is a Deception disaster. Lucy is crashing and burning on home & heart.

Sasha: Lucy?

Yeah, she decided to do the spot herself, which, as I said, it is a complete disaster.

Lois: [ Sighs ] Now, listen, I don’t watch H&H myself, but my ma does. And you know who else watches it? All of my ma’s friends, and they all know that Deception is Brook Lynn’s company. So Lucy’s failure is Deception’s failure is Brook Lynn’s failure, and we can’t let that happen. So, come on. I need you to go.

Sasha: Well, I’ll have to get changed.

Lois:No, no, no! There’s no time. I already snagged the fastest ride in the garage. Can you drive a stick? Doesn’t matter. I can drive one. Let’s go!


Lucy: Now, do you know what I do remember in particular about that year, is all the obstacles I had to overcome. I mean, I had to together all these good people together for such a good cause and raise so much money for those very good people. Now, just like our viewers at home.

Mm. Hello, viewers.

Haven: [ Clears throat ] So, uh, Lucy, why don’t we tell the viewers how this face cream can take a mug like this and turn it into a matinee idol?

Lucy: Oh, wow. You know, I am so delighted to see you and have you here, uh, with us. But, you know, it’s kind of rude to interrupt. So where was I? Oh, right, uh there was a ball. There were nurses. And the year was 2014.

Haven: Oh, yes, and your dear, dear friend Scott showed up right at the end and kissed you… in your underwear… again.

Lucy: Thank you. Uh, uh, thank you so much. That’s so kind of you, Haven, to remember that.

Haven: Oh, yes, yes. I — I never forget a nurses’ ball. And, viewers, isn’t she unforgettable? And doesn’t she look great? And you know what? You can look great, too. [ Chuckles ]


Nina: Ava, I am so sorry to keep you waiting.

Ava: Hi. No, it’s no problem. Hey. I had some business to take care of anyway. What about you? You have a hotel emergency?

Nina: Well, you know how it is. One guest crisis is a hotelier’s cold eggs.

Ava: I-I’m not familiar with that expression.

Nina: And I hope it never becomes one.

Madison: Ms. Reeves, the Venice proofs are on your desk. Revenue reports are flagged in your inbox. And Cartullo confirmed.

Nina: Thank you, Madison.

Ava: Your assistant — very diligent. In the 15 minutes I was waiting for you, she must have come in and out of here three times.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] I think she was checking up on you.

Ava: I think she was.

Nina: She might be overcompensating.

Ava: For what?

Nina: Well, I’ve had a few unexpected visitors lately. Drew has gotten into the habit of just barging in unannounced whenever he wants to. He feels like he is entitled to everything and has to wait for nothing. And when it comes to me —

Ava: The woman who sent him to prison, where he almost died.

Nina: Thank you for saying that.

Ava: [ Chuckles ] Well, somebody had to.

Nina: Okay. Which brings me to why I wanted to see you.

Ava: Oh, and here I thought you just missed me.

Nina: Oh, yeah, I do. Of course I do. It’s… I need a progress report on my reconciliation with Sonny.


Carly: Well, I mean, Sonny did offer me a huge settlement, right? But all I wanted was the house. I mean, I thought I could take care of myself with my half of the hotel.

Jason: Yeah, Diane told me how you lost it.

Carly: Yeah. My big investment with aurora. I-I didn’t know it at the time, but it was 100% insider trading. But the only reason the sec even paid attention was because Nina turned me and drew in.

Jason: Yeah, Diane told me that, too.

Carly: Did she also tell you I could have saved myself and drew by flipping on Sonny?

Jason: No.

Carly: I mean, there wasn’t a formal offer, but Diane thinks the feds would have made a deal because I had evidence against Sonny.

Jason: Uh, what — what kind of evidence?

Carly: Proof that Sonny violated the national security act.

Jason: How’d you get that?

Carly: Michael.


John: How am I the bad guy here?

Anna: I never said you were.

John: Well, you just insinuated that I may have had it coming because I was in the vicinity of Sonny’s coffee warehouse.

Anna: No, I’m just suggesting the possibility that Sonny’s guards handled you because you violated their security perimeter.

John: I didn’t violate anything. I was a block away. I was jumped by professionals.

Anna: You most likely were.

John: Okay. Well, if you agree with me, why did you just —

Anna: oh, John. A crime has been committed, and I’m just trying to rule out possibilities. I mean, it is part of a process called police work.

John: Oh, really? Could you spell that out for me?

Anna: Yeah, no, I’ll text you. [ Sighs ] Do you want some water?

John: Yes.

Anna: So, what were you doing skulking around Sonny’s coffee warehouse?

John: I was tailing Jason Morgan’s lawyer, Diane miller. Is she clean, do you think?

Anna: Oh, I don’t know how many lawyers are clean?

John: [ Laughs ] Touché. But that being said, even though most of her clients are disreputable, the woman herself, she is —

Anna: she is quite a professional. I mean, she’s a paragon of ethics, or at least skilled enough to make it appear so.

John: Then what was she doing heading to Corinthos coffee at that dangerous time of the night?

Anna: Um, well, Jason is part owner in the coffee company.

John: Which makes it all the more likely that some alliance is brewing between Jason and Sonny Corinthos.


Carly: Michael and Josslyn were devastated about everything that happened with Sonny and Nina, and so Michael just decided that we were all better off if Sonny was in prison. And you know Michael — I-I mean, he’s like you. When he sets his mind on something, he just doesn’t stop.

Jason: Okay. H-how did Michael get evidence against Sonny?

Carly: He hired a professional, an ex-soldier named Dex Heller. And Dex was able to record evidence of Sonny receiving illegal weapons from a company called Pikeman. Dex brought Michael the footage, and Michael gave it to me.

Jason: What’d you do with it?

Carly: I destroyed it. I mean, by then, Michael’s feeling towards his father had changed, and Michael realized that Sonny going to prison would tear the whole family apart. So we came up with a new plan. Michael and I were paying Dex to keep an eye on Sonny and report back to us if Sonny found himself in any kind of trouble.

Jason: Okay. So you were paying this guy to spy on Sonny?

Carly: Yeah, well, I mean, it was for his own good.

Jason: Well, I don’t think Sonny would see it that way.

Carly: He did not when he found out.


Tracy: Gregory, I didn’t know you were here.

Gregory: [ Chuckles ] I was, uh, talking to Lois. She excused herself, said she’d be back in a moment. But that was a while ago.

Tracy: Yeah, well, she operates in a different time zone. Why were you talking to Lois in the first place, anyway?

Gregory: Uh, happenstance. I actually stopped by to talk to — to Brook Lynn.

Tracy: Oh, in the afternoon? She’s working.

Gregory: I suppose when you have your afternoons free, you forget that other people don’t. Uh, anyway, it — it’s not urgent. I can call her later.

Tracy: Or you can give me the message and I’ll pass it along.

Gregory: Very well. Um… I just wanted to let Brook Lynn know that I won’t be bringing a plus-one after all.

Tracy: Oh. What happened to Alexis?

Gregory: Uh, something came up. She had to cancel.

Tracy: Hmm. Well… I don’t think that that’s much of a tragedy. Alexis and weddings don’t mix. Of course, I’m prejudiced ever since she went runaway bride and left Ned at the altar.

Gregory: If you don’t like Alexis, isn’t it a good thing that she didn’t marry your son?

Tracy: It’s not that she didn’t marry Ned. It’s how she didn’t marry Ned. But she had her… reasons then. And I suppose she has her reasons now.

Gregory: As a matter of fact, she does. Um, I-I-I shouldn’t say anything.

Tracy: Oh, pfft. Then you must.

Gregory: You have to promise not to —

Tracy: I won’t say a word!

Gregory: Alexis has to appear in Manhattan the morning after the wedding. She’s hoping to get her disbarment overturned.

Tracy: Oh. Well, good for her.

Gregory: Do you mean that?

Tracy: [ Laughs ] I’m sure some part of me must.

Gregory: Anyway, that’s why she can’t make the wedding, which, uh, means that I’ll be going stag.


Ava: A progress report, huh? Should that be single- or double-spaced for you?

Nina: [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry.

Ava: Maybe I could e-mail it to you. Madison could flag it in your inbox.

Nina: All right, all right. I apologize. You are not my assistant and you do not need to report to me. But you — you did say that you would act as my advocate.

Ava: And I am.

Nina: So, how do things stand? Sonny miss me?

Ava: Yeah, you know, of course Sonny misses you.

Nina: Did he say that?

Ava: No, he doesn’t have to. Whenever your name comes up, his mood gets dark and he might fix himself a drink.

Nina: Sonny’s drinking again?

Ava: Not to excess. He’s just gone back to having a glass of scotch or two in the evening.

Nina: That’s so bad for him. It makes him so volatile.

Ava: Yeah. Well, I don’t recommend lecturing him on the subject.

Nina: I didn’t mean to interrupt you. So, um, you said that Sonny doesn’t like hearing my name?

Ava: Right. I mean, he asked me not to mention you at all unless it’s absolutely necessary. And that — that proves that he misses you, right? You are still under his skin, and that’s obvious. It’s progress, Nina. I’m sure of it.

Nina: Oh. Well, you’re a lot more sure than I am.


Lucy: For the nurses’ ball, for so many years of CoeCo…

Hey. How hard did the iceberg hit, and is the ship still afloat?

See for yourself.

Lucy: I really think that all my years as president and CEO of CoeCo cosmetics —

Haven: Doesn’t that look lovely? Oh, can we get a camera on this?

Lucy: And, actually, the fact that I was the center of gravity for the nurses’ ball for so many years really made be able to be the driving creative force to create Deception.

You need to get in there. It’s trending like crazy.

In a good way?

Well, Haven, yes. Scott, yes. Deception, meh. Lucy — you don’t want to know, sales are still really low.

Sasha: I’m on it.

Haven: So, Lucy, how would you describe this?

Lucy: [ Laughs ] On our Deception website — that’s how. Hey, y-you know what, you viewers out there? I-I bet that you don’t remember that I not only wrote one tell-all book, I wrote two. And you probably all purChased a travel guide to Port Charles, but who out there — come on, you tell me — who remembers lust for death?

I remember lust for death.

Oh, look who it is, viewers — Sasha Corbin, the former face of Deception.

Sasha: Hi, there.

Lucy:Now not really the face of anything.

And by the way, what are you wearing?

Sasha: Oh, these are my work clothes now. I’m a stable hand, and I love it, but it’s a lot of hard work and it doesn’t really afford an opportunity to feel pretty.

Haven: Oh. Oh, this is you not pretty? Oh, my. Look at her. Isn’t she gorgeous?

Sasha: Oh, thank you, Haven. That’s so sweet. And thank you, Lucy. I-I’ve got it from here.

Lucy: Uh, no. No, you don’t. I’m not — I’m not quite done. ‘

Scott: I think — I think she’s got it.

Lucy: No, no, I’m not. I have so many more things to say.

Scott: No, no, I think she can handle it.

Haven: Oh, Lucy, you know, it is always such an experience with you.

Lucy: Well, thank you, Haven, but I’m not —

Haven: Why don’t you tell this to me off camera?

Lucy: I’m not finished. There are a few more things I just wanted to impart to the audience!

Haven: So, Sasha, if I may ask — your makeup?

Sasha: I’m not really wearing any.

Haven: I hate you.

Sasha: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. But you know what? It does make it a lot easier for me to show you, and the audience at home, what Deception’s new disruptor nourishing moisturizer can do.

Haven: Oh, you take it away, honey.

[ Laughs ]


Anna: The last thing Sonny wants is anything to do with Jason.

John: Where are you getting that information?

Anna: Sonny. He came here to my office trying to persuade me to file charges against Jason.

John: For what?

Anna: For whatever part he played in the attack of the docks. Sonny conveniently forgot that Jason is the reason his son is still alive. So you said that these attackers of yours — they were surprised. What happened?

John: The two guys who jumped me ran off when Carly spencer pulled up in her car.


Ava: I don’t understand where all this skepticism is coming from. You trust me, don’t you?

Nina: Of course I trust you. You’re my best friend. It’s just, if you can’t even mention my name to Sonny, how do you even know that he is open to the idea of saving our relationship?

Ava: Well, you’re still his wife, for one thing.

Nina: Only because I haven’t signed a sheet of paper. Right.

Ava: And is Sonny pressuring you? You know how insistent he can be, how he hates loose ends. Is Sonny standing over you with a pen, demanding you sign those divorce papers?

Nina: No. No. Exactly.

Ava: This is gonna take time, Nina, and I know that it’s agonizing for you.

Nina: That’s an understatement.

Ava: But you have got to be patient. I can’t rush this. I have to wait for just the right moment when Sonny realizes just how much he wants you back, and then I strike. Okay.

Nina: So what, if any, difference do you think it would make if I, um… …sold my half of the hotel to Jason Morgan?

Ava: [ Scoffs ] Where’s this coming from?

Nina: I had a little visit from Diane miller, and she proposed the sale.

Ava: I thought you liked owning the hotel.

Nina: Yeah, I do. I do. I do. It’s just the… novelty has worn out.

Ava: More fun running it as a prize you took from Carly and not a day job.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. So do you think if I sold my half of the hotel to Sonny’s best friend, that I would win some points?


Carly: God, it was crazy. He was gonna kill Dex. So I had to tell him everything. He was furious and betrayed. God, he just disowned Michael the same way he’s disowned the two of us. And, I mean, I’m a traitor! You’re a traitor! [ Laughs ] I mean, none of it matters? Nothing we’ve done, none of the sacrifices we made, they don’t count for anything?

Jason: They count with me. Everything that you’ve been through, everything that you’ve done — Sonny might not be grateful, Carly, but I am.


Tracy: I will pass along to Brook Lynn that you are no longer bringing a plus-one.

Gregory: Well, I hope it doesn’t mess up the seating too badly. I know how much care and planning is —

Tracy: Gregory, stop. You are the father of the groom. You’re officiating the wedding. You will take your rightful place at the family table next to me.

Gregory: Well, thank you, Tracy. I’d like that very much.


Lucy: Hey, really? What is Sasha doing here? I mean, she’s not even with the company anymore. She’s not even spokesmodeling anymore. And why, pray tell, is she dressed like an escapee from Mayberry?

Maxie: Um, thank you, Lucy, for stepping in until reinforcements could get here.

Lucy: No, don’t do that. Don’t do that to me. Don’t handle me.

Me? I’m not handling you. You were put in an impossible situation, and you handled it… the way only Lucy Coe would.

Lucy: Oh, gee. Thanks a lot. Since you put it that way —

[ Cellphone chiming ]

Lucy: [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh. I-I am blowing up. This phone is blowing up. I’m — I’m blowing up.

Brook Lynn: [ Laughs ] You are a superhero.

Maxie: Yeah, I know. I don’t know what we would have done if you hadn’t gotten Sasha here.

Well, I did, so you’ll never have to find that out, huh?

Lois: You know, it’s a really nice set-up you’ve got here. I mean, I’m used to concert lighting, which is fabulous, of course. But this is elegant in its own way. Just like you.

Haven: Oh! And I’m afraid that’s all we have time for today. Sasha, thank you. And it is great having you back.

Sasha: Thank you, Haven. It was great being here.

Haven: And we’re out. Oh, my god, Sasha. You saved the show.

Sasha: Great.

Haven: And I just want to say thank you.

Sasha: Yeah. Well, you know, my friends needed me.

YHaven: eah. Well, they are very lucky to have you. And if I may say so, for whatever it’s worth, I wish I had been kinder.

Sasha: Is that an apology?

Haven: Well, you know, my attorneys have advised me not to apologize just in case you sue us. But, um, yes. I apologize. And I do hope you’ll come back.

Sasha: Socials look great. People have never loved Sasha more.

Maxie: Ooh! Well, Deception has had a rollercoaster of a day — all-time low to almost all-time high. We didn’t sell out, but I think we will by the time we leave the building. Not a bad day.

Not bad at all.

Aw!

Lucy: What?! I-I am trending. I am actually trending! [ Gasps ] Oh! My public has never loved me more.


Nina: I’ll admit to you, not anyone else, that running a hotel is a lot more work than I wanted, and it’s not really work that I enjoy. So I’m pretty certain that Jason is going to buy the hotel and turn around and give it to Carly. And at the very least, that will annoy drew, and at the very best, humiliate him.

Ava: Pay back for firing you.

Nina: Among other things. And on top of all that, if I can sell the hotel to Sonny’s best friend, it might earn me half a point with him.

Ava: It’s worth doing. Sonny and Jason were closer than brothers. So, from what I’ve seen, Sonny would be deeply moved if you made a deal with him.

Nina: Do you think so?

Ava: Oh, I know so.


John: Now, I have no idea what Carly was doing there. I was too distracted by the beating to ask.

Anna: She was probably going to visit Jason.

John: Well, it seems like he hasn’t had any trouble settling back into his old life.

Anna: I’m sorry. I distinctly remember you asking him to do exactly that — to stay in Port Charles and wait for Pikeman to take him out. Oh, there’s a term for that. I forget what it — oh, bait.

John: You sound disapproving.

Anna: No, I’m just — just a reminder of why Jason originally came back to town. It was as half of a sniper team, and his partner had a handgun that fired armor-piercing rounds. So Jason knows firsthand what Pikeman is capable of. And every day he’s walking the streets, knowing that they’re coming for him. And when they do, it’s going to be a hell of a lot worse than being jumped by a couple of thugs. So I’m just saying, why didn’t you back off and give the man a little credit?


Carly: [ Sighs ] I don’t know what’s wrong with Sonny. Maybe there’s nothing wrong with Sonny. Maybe this is who he is. Sonny doesn’t give a damn about anybody else. Why should we give a damn about him? Don’t tell me because of the kids, okay? Because I’m not gonna set a bad example for donna by letting Sonny walk all over me.

Jason: Good.

Carly: You’re not gonna ask me to forgive him?

Jason: That’s up to you.

Carly: You’re gonna forgive him?

Jason: [ Sighs ] I mean, for now, but it’s possible Sonny could push me too far. And hearing how he’s treated you, he’s getting pretty close.

Carly: [ Voice breaking ] I miss him. I miss him. I miss how he used to be. And I miss how we all were together, you know, and I miss the Sonny I used to love, and I just wish there was a way we could reach him.

Jason: We can’t force him to trust us or accept our help. All we can do is live our lives right now and just be there if he needs us.

Carly: Or we could turn our backs on him and let him drown.

Jason: You’d never do that. I won’t do that either.

Carly: Okay. Thank you. Sometimes I just think about how it would have been so much better if I would have never loved Sonny and I’d just — just stayed in love with you.

Jason: I like us the way we are.

Carly: I do, too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, good morning, beautiful. Hey, take a wild guess what day it is. Besides our honeymoon? Yeah, just take a wild guess. Tax day? Technically, yes, but take a wild guess. Yeah. I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me? Uh, okay. If you insist. Today is national take a wild guess day. Oh man, they have a day for everything now.

What’s the next, sleep on the couch day? No, actually it’s kiss your new husband day. Oh, really? Yeah, so.

And would you believe it? Today also happens to be get naked in a cabin day. No, isn’t it? Yeah.

Oh no, I did it again. I’m not here. I’m invisible. I see nothing. I’m going back there. Carry on.

Penny for your thoughts? Take a wild guess.

Mwah. Good morning, darling. You’re up early. Yeah, I actually went for a run. Just needed to clear my head. And did you? Well, um, the cold air felt good, and it certainly woke me up. But I couldn’t stop thinking about how I’ve spent the last few months of my life. And now grieving for our son and almost losing Holly and then going through recovery with Holly and, and now what?

I mean, what do I do now? What do you want to be next? I don’t know. Well, the good news is you don’t have to decide this very minute. Think about it. Take your time. It’ll come to you eventually. Yeah. Well, Holly and I are going to go to the press conference and then I’m going to take her to school. I was hoping it’d be a snow day.

Oh, I’m sorry, sweetheart. The storm just missed us and school is still in session. But be thankful you’re not on Smith Island. They copped the brunt of it. And getting back into a routine will be good for you, honey. I guess. So, um, last night I wrote my apology letters to Tate and his family. But, how am I supposed to deliver these if I’m not allowed to see him?

Come on, you gotta eat up. We gotta get going soon. Not that hungry. Tate, I get it. I know you’re anxious. You got the press conference this morning at school. I’m not that anxious. Good morning! Morning. Everybody ready? I know I am. Oh, I can’t wait for that Mr. Big District Attorney to eat crow publicly. Oh, I’m so, so, so terribly sorry.

I never meant to treat that dear boy Tate like a criminal. I’m such an idiot. I don’t think EJ’s going to admit he’s an idiot. Well, a girl can dream. So, who else do you guys think is going to be at the press conference? Who will?

Okay, I think I’m up to speed. If you choose to move forward with my services, I can represent you at today’s hearing. Though I have to say, this is, uh, unusual. Case, saying as though you’ve already worked out a deal prior to engaging an attorney. That’s a very bold move. Hmm. What can I say? I’m at the mirror.

Fearlessness is in our DNA.

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

Oh, good morning. I’ll get you a cup of coffee. Uh, no thank you. I’m not going to be a third wheel on your honeymoon any longer. I’m leaving. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re not going anywhere. Why not? We’re snowed in. It’s April! Until further notice, the Smith Island Ferry will remain docked, and the bridge closed due to heavy snow and debris.

I’m trapped in a cabin with two hot little newlyweds.

Please eat your breakfast. You got a big day ahead of you.

It’s gonna take more than one bite to humor me. Tate, look, we do have something important we have to talk about. God, all we ever do is talk things important. Just listen, please. Your mom and I, we know that it’s inevitable that you’re gonna see Holly at school. Just keep your distance. Right. If you see her You keep walking, okay?

Under no circumstances are you to hang out with her. Otherwise, go directly to jail. Do not pass code. Do not collect 200. Okay, Mr. Smart Alec, there’s not gonna be a get out of jail card if you let her drag you down again. I’m not trying to punish you. I’m trying to protect you. Oh, from Holly, the teenage werewolf.

Yeah, well, if the fangs fit. Okay. Mom. You understand what we’re saying, right? Yeah, I get it, okay? Well, we hope so. Because that girl, she’s trouble. I will be damned if she’s gonna screw up your life.

Honey, those letters are starting to look a little crumbled up from your backpack. Do you want me to hang on to them?

Sure, I guess so. I’m really proud of you for writing these. I know it couldn’t have been easy. It was fine.

And are you ready for your speech? Can’t wait. It’s every district attorney’s dream to have to issue a public apology for the wrongful prosecution of a minor. I’m really sorry you have to. I did what I did because I was sure you never would have taken those drugs on your own. You proved me wrong. Gee. I wonder why I did it.

Oh, maybe it’s because my life isn’t as perfect and smooth sailing as everyone thinks. I’m on my third stepfather, and FYI, your last name, it comes with a whole lot of baggage. Is that so? Yeah. Aiden Murrah helped put those drugs on the street. Stop it, okay? Do not blame EJ or me for this. You made your choices, you have to live with it.

Whatever. Alright, you know what, honey? Please, just Get all your stuff and let’s go. I’m sorry. She’s lashing out at us, but deep down she’s just mad at us all. Oh. Uh, I have to take this. Yes? Now? That’s highly irregular. Fine, I’ll be there. I have to go to a meeting, but I will not be late to the press conference.

Okay. I’ll see you there.

And in this meeting, or rather Stefan’s hearing, I will present the judge with such a weak argument that she will be appalled and have no choice but to reject. My plea agreement.

Some would call your behavior rash, Mr. DiMera. He who represents himself as a fool for a client. But see, I’m not representing myself, I’m hiring you to represent me. A little late, but okay. First things first, let’s discuss my retainer. Ah, not so fearless on that, are we? Let’s just say that my finances are, uh, in flux at the moment.

Well, as you pointed out, you’re a Demira. Funds are at your fingertips. Except that my access to those funds is temporarily on hold. Mm hmm. You know, suddenly I’m not feeling so confident about this arrangement. Wait, wait, wait. Please. We will pay you handsomely. That is a promise. But also, from what I hear, you can benefit from representing me because your practice has slowed down.

Quite a bit. Uh, you are gravely mistaken. My practice is flourishing.

But with no payment up front, it’s going to cost you double on the back end. Agreed.

Not so fast. I have questions. Ask away. Your brother made you a very sweet deal. Why do you need me? Because the deal is only sweet if the judge signs off on it. And you’re worried EJ might try and wiggle out of it? I know my brother. There’s no way he’s not going to try and double cross me.

Well, what are we going to do? What can we do? We’re just going to have to rat it out. What? At least we still have power. No television, but we do have Wi Fi, because they rewired the whole island a couple of years ago. And there’s plenty of food, so you might as well have some of the breakfast that we made.

Oh, thank you. I, I feel terrible. I feel like I’ve just invaded your honeymoon like Genghis Khan. Oh, I know. After we all have breakfast, you can go out in the snow and frolic. Make memories. We, we didn’t pack anything for a snowstorm. Don’t worry about that. I got you covered.

Okay.

Mom, I get it. Okay, you’ve, you’ve told me a million times I won’t hang out with Holly. But, uh, Good. Just keep your distance and focus on making good choices. Yeah. Okay. But, can I talk to you about, uh, something else? Oh, this isn’t about a car, is it? No. Not yet. Uh, but, but it is about, uh, making good choices.

Like you said, being responsible. Um, I want to start working here at the pub again. And, and before you say anything, it’s good for someone my age to be working, being productive. And, and, and I still have to pay you back for the damages to my old school. Yeah, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Look, just let me finish, okay?

You’re, you’re starting back up at school again. You’re still catching up. You really need to just stay focused on that. Okay, Mom. But, no. Tate, I’m with your mom on this one. Okay, I think you should focus on your school work. Summer’s right around the corner anyway. But I already talked to Uncle Roman and he needs me.

I’ll be helping family. That’s important too, right? It’s, it’s good for someone. I know. If it gets to be too much, I can just quit. Mm hmm. And I’ll tell you what, we’ll table this discussion for now. Because today we need to focus on

So glad you could fit me into your schedule. Busy day? Let’s get this over with. What the hell do you want, Stefan? Ah, want. Need. So many things. Really. Let’s start with today’s hearing, though. Yes, I was surprised to get a call that it had been moved up to today. My attorney arranged that for me. Your attorney?

Why do you need an attorney? Because my life is on the line, EJ. Now, you may be my brother, but you are also the district attorney who is prosecuting me. And let’s be honest, I don’t trust you. Not one bit. Feelings mutual. See? So can you blame me? EJ, I need somebody on my side who doesn’t stand to benefit from sending me to prison.

Considering my very generous offer, you’re wasting time and money on legal representation. Let me worry about that. But yes, your offer is very generous. It’s a win win for both of us. You get to brag to the citizens of Salem how you saved them from a very costly trial by finagling my plea deal, and I get the recommended sentence of time served.

Yes, I’m familiar with the terms, since you blackmailed me into agreeing to them. Yes, I blackmailed you using a recording that I made of you incriminating yourself. Not to mention winning a very high stakes chess game. Let’s not forget that. But EJ, yes, we are family at the end of the day. And as my brother, I would hope that you will return my half of the DiMera funds upon my return home.

Home? You think you’re coming home? Oh, I know I am. Because if I don’t, you’ll pay. Huh?

Dammit, what are those two doing here? Um, honey, why don’t we go to Sweet Bits instead? Mom, it’s a small town. This was bound to happen. We can’t just run off every time it does. Well, we can run off now because I told Tate’s parents that I supported their decision to keep you two apart. And I am not going back on my word, okay?

Let’s go. Wait, my letters. I could hand them out to them since they’re all here now. Are you sure that’s a good idea? Um, well, you’re the one who said I need to make amends. So what better way to do it than in person? Won’t it mean more that way?

I suppose you’re right. Here.

Miss Donovan, Mr. Black. Tate, I wrote each one of you a letter. I was hoping it’s okay if I give it to you now.

See? We always keep extra clothes up here, just in case. So glad you do. Yeah, yeah, they’re really nice. They fit really well. Nice and roomy. Well, I’m gonna call Doug, and you kids go out and play!

Are we five? Are we five year olds? Hey, let’s just make the best of it, okay? Okay, fine. What else can we do? Hey, look, I do want to do over on this honeymoon, and I want it to be somewhere nice and hot and tropical where I can wear a bikini. And I can take it off you without Julie walking in. Let’s go. Get out!

Okay. Your Honor, as you’re aware, our city has been plagued with a drug epidemic that has destroyed lives, torn families apart. It’s been an uphill battle. But, with the information provided by Mr. DeMere in regards to his business arrangement with Clyde Weston, the police have been able to cut off much of the pipeline of drugs into our fair city.

Our, uh, office has cleared several cases, and by doing so, Salem is now a safer place to live. Based on all this, the state agrees that time served is a fair sentence and in the best interest of all parties.

You’re joking, right? Of something of this importance, I would not. Stefan DiMera is your brother. This Plea is the epitome of nepotism. Considering the nature of the offense and taking into account the best interests of this community, I must say, I am appalled.

How was it? It was cold, but we actually had a lot of fun. We made snow angels. Yeah? Yeah, and then I got stuck in mine, and I couldn’t get back up again. And I tried to bend down and help her, and then I fell. We both got stuck. Yeah, and then we were just both on the ground, upside down, like some upside down turtles.

Oh, what an image, what an image. Well, listen, once you warm up, what do you say we have a nice game of charades? Charades, huh? Oh, I haven’t played charades since. I actually don’t think I’ve ever played charades. Oh, darling, you’re gonna love it. You’ll just love it. I’ll make us hot cocoa. And as I remember, Grandpa Tom always kept some, some rum to spike the cocoa with.

There might be cognac, too. Yummy.

Dear Tate, I’m so sorry for everything I put you through. I promise I’ll do better. I want to be the kind of person who deserves someone like you. But, next time, I’m keeping your sweatshirt. Just so I have something of yours to keep close to me.

My hero.

Well, thank you, Holly. You obviously understand how your actions are important to us. I do. And we do appreciate the letters, don’t we? Yes. Thank you. I feel like we’re finally coming to an end of this situation. For that, I’m very grateful. We are too.

Just so you know, Holly, These letters that you’ve written here do not change how we feel about you hanging out with our son. We understand and we will continue to abide by your wishes, right honey?

Your Honor, all the required documentation is included here in this file. It’s clear the people have spoken not to my satisfaction. This plea does not support the interest of the public, nor does it sufficiently address the nature of the offense. Your Honor, may I approach?

May I refer you to the affidavit prepared and sworn to by the Attorney General’s office? It includes a breakdown of all the cases resulting from the information that Mr. DeMera here provided on Clyde Weston’s criminal enterprise. Thanks to my client, you’ll note the many incidents resulted in the seizing of narcotics.

Thank you. That’s all well and good. But Mr. DiMera shouldn’t get a free pass just because this Mr. DiMera doesn’t want to prosecute his brother. Your Honor, as citizens of Salem, we are all much safer knowing that my client curbed the enterprise of a well known drug kingpin. He did so under extreme duress.

Mr. DeMera’s wife was assaulted and under constant threat from Mr. Weston’s associates while in custody of our state’s prison system, which obviously failed to protect her. Mrs. DiMera suffered severe injuries, including a broken leg, because her husband refused to take orders from Clyde Weston. These additional crimes will add years to Mr.

Weston’s prison sentence upon his recapture. Whenever that may be. I’m confident that the authorities will apprehend Mr. Weston. In the meantime, time served is a reasonable sentence, considering all that Stephen DeMere has done to make amends.

I’ve heard from both sides. And while you may have expected this court to accept this plea agreement, here and now, and enter it into the record, in the interest of justice, I’m going to take this under advisement. My clerk will notify you when I’ve reached a decision. Mr. DiMera. The guard outside will escort you back to your cell.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to get to court. Your Honor. What’s this

mean? It means we wait. I’ll check in on you a little later, okay? Thank you for advocating for me today. I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay.

What was that? What? What? You were going to let her throw out our agreement. That was not the deal. You deliberately presented a weak case. You wanted her to be involved. I did exactly what we agreed upon. No more, no less. We are both beholden to the justice system. I don’t make the rules. Whatever the judge determines is based on her own discretion.

Okay? Oh, so that’s it, huh? You think I’m gonna let some funky judge ruin my plans? It is out of my hands now. Is it? Hmm? Maybe, brother, I didn’t destroy the only copy of that tape. Oh, I wouldn’t put it past you, so, so take this in. I am more than happy to reveal who shot and nearly killed Detective Michaels.

You would not. Oh, try me. So why don’t you get your ass and go back to your cell and keep your mouth shut like a good little boy. My blackmail trumps your blackmail any day of the week. I am sides. I still have a binding agreement. Turning over all your wealthy possessions to me. See you in a few years. O broski

flat. It’s, it’s a box. It’s a flat, flat. You’re un, you’re op, you’re unscrewing it. You’re opening it. You’re ouch. It was hot. Hot. It did it. It’s a, is it a stove? It’s a stove. Cat on a hot tin roof! Yes! Oh! You’re really good at this. Oh, you’re too kind. You guys need a break. Gee, the fire’s getting pretty low, isn’t it?

Ah, fear not. I will go out and get us some more firewood. Oh, thank you, Johnny. Thank you very much. You got it. Thank you. Watch out for the bears!

He’s really a lovely guy, isn’t he? Oh, yeah. I will definitely have to agree to that. Yeah. So, I know he’s been standing by wonderfully for you during your mother’s illness. Yeah, he’s been amazing. And Paulina. How is she doing, really? Tell me. She’s getting better. Um, she’s going through radiation right now, which requires complete isolation, so you can imagine how much she’s loving that.

Yes, I can. But if it’s radiation, that means she’s in the homestretch. Yeah, that’s what we’re hoping. Julie, this, this is a really special place you have here. Yes, it is, and it’s been wonderful for the family, always such beautiful memories. And on bad weather days like this, my grandparents always had plenty of board games and puzzles for us.

Sort of like the, the time capsule. The what? Oh. Well, after the fire at our house, we found a time capsule that my grandparents had left for everyone. And we think it must have been something to challenge the new generations, you know, like a puzzle. It is getting colder, isn’t it? Yeah, yeah. Um, you know what?

I’ll go help Johnny. Oh, honey, you don’t have to do that. Oh, I know. He’ll be right back. I know, I know. But still, I think that two hands will bring back more firewood for us all. Very practical. Thank you. darling. Uh huh. Careful out there.

You feel any better handing out those letters? Yeah, I was kind of nervous, but I’m just glad it’s over now. Well, I think it’ll help you heal. And make better decisions by understanding that our choices can have severe consequences. I know. Mom, I’m so sorry for everything. I never want to hurt you like that ever again.

Thank you, honey. I love you so much. I love you too. What the hell? What? What is it? It’s nothing. It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it. Nothing? You wouldn’t react like that if it was nothing. Let me see that. Let me see. Today’s the day the pill pushing dirtbag comes back to school, bets on when he slips H. J.

some more dance fever and she O. D. ‘s again. Dance fever? It’s slang for opioids. Who wrote this? No, some jerk. It doesn’t matter. Well, you know what? After I drop you off, I’m gonna go and have a little conversation with the principal.

Um, please, just don’t make this a thing, just not today, okay? All of this, all of this is gonna stop once EJ makes the public apology. Alright? It’ll be all over the news. Yeah, well, teenagers don’t watch the news, do they? Well, it’ll die down. My mom and I just saw the post. They’re being really unfair. Yes, they are.

Well, I just want to let you know once I get to school, I’m telling everybody that what happened was completely my fault. It had nothing to do with Tate. Corey, thank you. Um, sorry. We’re, we’re gonna get going. The press conference is gonna start. Okay. Uh, we will see you guys there.

As District Attorney of Salem, it is my job to follow the evidence and prosecute those who have wronged our community. It already started? What are we, late? Sometimes the system doesn’t work that way, and for that I offer my apologies. I, I, I guess E. T. ‘s early. I will continue to try

to make Salem a safe a snowstorm in the middle of April. Where are the kids?

Chanel? Johnny? You out there? They’ve been

out there too long.

What do you mean, what was that? The press conference, per your demands. You started before the press even got here. That is not what we demanded. The press is right there. Are you kidding? That’s your PR guy, EJ. This is not an acceptable apology. It is what it is. Take it or leave it. Excuse me? Dad, just let it go.

I don’t care. Well, I care. No, it’s over. It’s done. Hey, let’s just go. I don’t want to be late on my first day back to school. Mom, come on. Tate, okay. We’ll leave. I want a written copy of that apology sent to my office by the end of the day, okay? Go tell Bob. He’ll give you what you want. Uh, Tate, I am, I am so sorry.

Brady, Teresa, I had no idea EJ was gonna do this. And I know it’s not what you wanted, but I do know that EJ is very sorry for everything that Tate went through. And he’s just not very good at apologizing. Oh, fool. Poor EJ. Okay, I know it’s not an excuse. But our whole family, we are really sorry. Thank you.

Let’s go.

That does it. They’ve been out in the cold too damn long. I’ll just go out myself and Walk around the cabin and Hey! Oh! There you are! Johnny! What happened? I, uh, it just, uh, the wood out back was wet. Oh. I think the tarp flew off in the storm. And so I had to go down by the shoreline to find some dry wood.

Good. Looks great. Yeah, yeah. Where’s Chanel? What? Isn’t she here with you? No, Johnny. She went looking for you. Well, I haven’t seen her. Oh my god. Where is she?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: This is so crazy! This is insane! Wait, deacon actually thinks that sheila’s alive?

Finn: Yeah, because of what happened at the crematorium. He thinks the body that went into the crematorium had ten toes and sheila only had nine.

Steffy: I don’t care how many toes she has or didn’t have. That was sheila. If anyone knows that, it should be me.

Deacon: “Stay away from me, sugar.” Stay away from me, sugar?

Carter: Be straight with me, zende. Did something happen between you and luna the night of eric’s wedding?

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: And it’s something you’re both keeping from rj?

Zende: We didn’t want to hurt him.

Carter: And this will? What exactly did you two do, zende?

Zende: Luna and i slept together.

Rj: So, your mom’s mints are actually drugs?

Luna: I had no idea, though.

Rj: And you accidentally took them the night of my granddad and donna’s wedding?

Luna: Yeah. Somehow, my regular breath mints got mixed up with my mom’s special mints and… oh, my god, I’m so sorry, rj. If I could do it all over again–

Rj: Do– do what? Do what over again? Luna, tell me what happened to you that night. Please.

Carter: So you and luna, you… you slept together?

Zende: Well, I mean, I thought we did–

Carter: You thought? What does that mean, you thought?

Zende: Something happened to luna that night. Something that explains why she was in my bed when I got home.

Carter: Hold on, hold on. She was in your bed, so she came to your place and she what, she came on to you?

Zende: No, no, no. It wasn’t like that. It wasn’t her fault at all. She didn’t mean for this to happen. Neither of us did.

Carter: You didn’t?

Zende: No.

Carter: You just admitted you have feelings for her.

Zende: Having feelings is one thing, but I never would’ve acted on them knowing how much luna loves rj.

Carter: Dude, I’m so confused right now. If she didn’t want this, and you didn’t want this, then how did you two sleep together?

Rj: Luna, whatever happened to you, it’s obviously still really upsetting you.

Luna: You have no idea the regrets I have. I mean, if– if I had just stayed with you and never left eric’s, if I had, none of this would be happening. Please know that I– I’d give anything to not have hurt you.

Rj: Luna, I love you. You haven’t hurt me.

Luna: I love you too. So much. And the thought of betraying you is… but that’s exactly what I did. I betrayed you that night.

Steffy: I– I was standing there when the medics pronounced sheila dead. I– I heard them say the time of death. Like, it’s not something that I imagined. It’s how it happened.

Finn: No, I know that. And you know that. But deacon, he–

Steffy: Deacon is what? Going around telling people that sheila’s alive because of her toes? What?

Finn: He thinks he saw ten toes. That just before sheila’s feet went into the flames that–

Steffy: Oh, my gosh, it’s impossible. It’s impossible. Either deacon is lying or it’s– it’s wishful thinking on his part because it is not real. Sheila was in our home, finn. It was definitely sheila.

Deacon: Maybe finn’s right. I am losing it.

[ Mechanical whirring ]

[ Fire roaring ]

Deacon: Piggies in a blanket underneath the sheet. Sheila had nine toes, but I saw ten on those feet. Yeah, you’re definitely losing it. You wanna know how I get this glow?

Carter: So, you and luna, you sleep together, but she thought she was with rj?

Zende: Because of her mother’s mints, yeah.

Carter: Her mints?

Zende: It’s a long story, but poppy, luna’s mom, she takes these special mints to help her chill out. Only somehow, her mints got mixed up with luna’s regular breath mints, so every time luna thought that she was taking a regular mint, she was–

Carter: She was drugging herself, and that’s why she thought she made love to rj.

Zende: I know how crazy it sounds that it could’ve even happened the way that it did.

Carter: Zende, look at me. You sure it happened that way?

Zende: Wait a minute, you think I’m lying to you?

Carter: No. I don’t think you’re lying. I know who you are, the kind of man you are.

Zende: Thank you. Still though, I… wish that I had realized that she wasn’t herself. That something was off with her. But I didn’T. I didn’t, man. And I’m still mad at myself for it. I’m mad because of what’s happened to her, what she’s been through, but also because of what rj’s gonna go through when he finds out what happened.

Rj: What do you mean you betrayed me?

Luna: I didn’t mean to. Okay, I swear. It’s just– it’s like what I said, okay? I accidentally took my mom’s mints, and– and they did something to me, okay? I wasn’t myself, rj. I wasn’T.

Rj: Okay, okay. Deep breath, deep breath, deep breath, okay? I want you to start at the beginning and tell me exactly what happened because right now you’re not making any sense to me, okay?

Luna: Okay. Um, you know how I left the party early and I kissed you goodnight?

Rj: Yes.

Luna: Well, I was so tired and so thirsty. And, um, I went outside to wait for my ride share and i happened to see some water bottles in one of the guest houses. So, um, I went up inside to drink it, and I don’t know, I must’ve laid down in the bed ’cause I was so exhausted. Or at least that’s what I think happened. I mean, I’m not entirely sure.

Rj: That’s it? That’s all you remember?

Luna: No. Um, the last thing I remember is you coming into the room and me saying that I was waiting for you.

Deacon: Why, sheila, why did you go to steffy’s that night? And who the hell is sugar?

Steffy: I can’t believe deacon is doing this.

Finn: Well, look, grief can do strange things.

Steffy: Well, what it can’t do is change the facts. Sheila broke into our home, she lunged at me, and if I didn’t grab that knife, like, I don’t know what would’ve happened.

Finn: Hey, hey, hey, it’s okay. Look, honey, you don’t have to go there, all right? Everyone knows that you acted in self-defense, including the police. Your name has been cleared. This whole nightmare can be over.

Steffy: But it’s not over, finn. That nightmare is seared into my brain. God, deacon needs to just get a grip. He can’t be telling people that sheila is alive. This is crazy. Oh, god.

Finn: What are you gonna do?

Steffy: I’m gonna confront deacon. No, this needs to stop. Sheila’s dead. She’s not coming back. And once deacon gets that through his thick skull, he’ll be better off. We’ll all be better off. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Zende: You can’t say anything about this, carter. To anyone.

Carter: I won’t, but rj deserves to know the truth.

Zende: I agree.

Carter: Does luna? Because she’s the one who should tell him.

Zende: The secret has been killing her. And she’s only kept quiet to protect my relationship with rj.

Carter: Still, you both have to know, the longer you keep this from rj, the harder it’s gonna be for him when he finds out. Man, the guy’s head over heels in love with her.

Zende: Yeah. That’s why she’s telling him the whole story right now. I mean, this has been tearing her apart. I just hope that rj can understand.

Rj: Luna, I wasn’t with you when you left the party that night.

Luna: I know. And I know that now, but I– I didn’t know it then. Rj, I swear, I thought I was with you.

Rj: Okay, so this is what you’re telling me. You accidentally took your mother’s drugs, and then you stumbled into one of the guest houses on my granddad’s property?

Luna: Yeah.

Rj: Which guest house was it? I wasn’t there, but someone was, right? Who was it? Luna, answer me. I need to know.

Luna: It was zende. I spent the night with zende.

Deacon: Finn filled you in on what I said.

Steffy: We’re here to set you straight.

Deacon: Oh, really, okay. Well, let me tell you what’s going–

Steffy: No, you need to hear this. I thought this memorial service for sheila was gonna give you some kind of closure. Why won’t you just let sheila be dead?

Deacon: It’s not that I won’t let her be dead. I accepted the fact that she’s gone, but then I saw that–

Steffy: I don’t want to hear it, deacon. I don’t want to hear it. You’re wrong. Dead wrong. I killed sheila. Hellmann’s real mayonnaise.

Carter: I hate that this happened.

Zende: I hate it, too. Especially for luna. She is a good, sweet, beautiful person. She never would’ve cheated on rj, if not for her mother’s mints.

Carter: Look, don’t take this the wrong way. I feel for luna, I do, but I can only imagine the guilt her mother’s going through, knowing what she did to her daughter’s life.

Zende: Yeah, well, she should feel guilty. Luna did not deserve for this to happen to her. And no, it was not intentional on poppy’s part. She loves luna very much, but to be so irresponsible and reckless just to leave your stash hanging out like that–

Carter: Irresponsible and reckless? What about your guilt, zende? Are you taking responsibility? Yeah, I know you didn’t realize what was going on–

Zende: I didn’t! I didn’t! Had I even had a hint that luna had been drugged that night, would’ve never gone down the way it did. I would’ve taken her home myself. Or I would have called rj and had him drive her home and make sure that she was okay. But, I just– it never occurred to me that luna might’ve been on something. I mean, why would it? It was my granddad’s wedding! I didn’t even know that her mom was into that stuff. I mean, neither did luna. We were both equally shocked to find out.

Carter: What about taking accountability? Shocked or not, bottom line is, rj is with luna. He is your cousin. That should’ve been enough for you to pump the brakes. I’m sorry, man. You don’t need to lecture from me. It’s just– I hate this for all three of you.

Zende: I, um, I’m just worried that luna’s whole world is about to blow sky high.

Carter: You really do care about her, huh?

Luna: Listen, I’m not– I’m not trying to make excuses, okay? It– it never, ever, ever should’ve happened. But I– I was drugged, okay? I– I thought that I was with you, that I had slept with you. It wasn’t until the next morning that I realized it was zende.

Rj: Stop.

Luna: Rj, please.

Rj: My cousin. You two?

Luna: I’m sorry, okay? I’m so, so, so sorry. Rj, please.

Deacon: Look what you think happened was not–

Steffy: Not think, deacon, I know. I killed sheila. I saw her face.

Deacon: So did I. I saw her at the morgue, and then I saw her again at the crematorium.

Steffy: Okay, you saw her at the morgue because she’s dead. You saw her at the crematorium because she is dead.

Steffy: Steffy, listen to me, please. I pulled back the sheet at the crematorium, and it was definitely sheila. But right before the crematorium doors closed, I saw ten toes. I definitely saw ten toes.

Finn: Deacon, you were emotional. And it’s understandable you might think you saw something that you didn’T. I mean, grief can manifest in all kinds of ways.

Deacon: What– what do you want me to do? Just drop this?

Steffy: Yes, that’s exactly what I want you to do. Have you forgotten all the terrible things sheila has done to us? Sheila got exactly what she deserved. Now you need to stop this. You need to stop spreading these lies, okay? I don’t want to think about sheila anymore. I don’t want to talk about her anymore. She is out of our lives forever. Do you hear me? Forever.

Ms. Abbott:   Mm-hmm. My plan is genius, so you stay out of it. Or I just might have to make you disappear for good.

Ash:  You can’t do that. Ashley created me to protect her from you.

Ms. Abbott:   Mm. That’s so sweet. I’m the only one that’s looking out for her best interests.

Ash: You’re going too far, and I’m going to stop you.

Ms. Abbott:   I’m in control of this situation. I am stronger than you and even ashley. Just look at her. She’s so weak. She’s so vulnerable. Where would she be without me? When you have chronic kidney disease,

Ashley: Boy, this is embarrassing. Well, not for me. For you. I’m gonna sleep like a baby tonight and get on with my life, but all of you have to live with how you’ve treated me. And you should all be very ashamed of yourselves.

Jack: We just wanna get you through this.

Ashley: There’s nothing to get through.

Traci: That’s not true. Ashley, you’ve told me yourself.

Billy: Ashley, what tucker just said, is– is that true? Did all of those things happen?

Ashley: Would you please not treat me like I’m some kind of wounded bird? It’s insulting.

***********************************

Ashley: Come on, guys, bring it. Let’s see how you stand up to all this scrutiny you’ve been putting me under.

Diane: Ashley, please stop.

Ashley: Hey, Diane, what was that name you went under when you were in Los Angeles? Wasn’t it Taylor? Taylor, the friendly neighborhood realtor. You wanna talk about my sanity? Didn’t you have a mental breakdown? You faked your own death, bitch. And then you left your only son to grieve alone.

Diane: Okay, Ashley, I did have a breakdown. And then I got help. And those years in therapy saved me. I have nothing to be ashamed of. There is no shame in getting help.

Ashley: Right, well, if this is the result of all of that therapy, I think I’m gonna pass. By the way, you are never, ever gonna be a real member of this family after what you did to Kyle.

Jack: That’s enough.

Ash: Geez, how many messages could one person leave? I love you, Trace, but you’re a pain in the butt. No. No. No. No. Oh. I’ve got to find Tucker and scare him off. It’s the only way to protect Ashley before she takes back control and does something stupid. Hi, hi. Uh, can I please get a ginger ale? Wait, um… I’m gonna have a martini.

Ashley: So gross! Why would anybody drink that?

Audra: Oh, just what I need.

Ash: Hey! Hi.

Audra: Excuse me?

Ash: I need to talk to Tucker. It’s really important.

Audra: Are you for real?

Ash: Yeah.

Audra: You know, you are unbelievable.

Ash: I just need to talk to Tucker, okay? I just– that’s all.

Audra: “That’s all?” Yeah, what’s it gonna take for you to finally get the message that Tucker is done with you? Utter and complete public humiliation? Because that can be easily arranged.

You’re the one that I want

Ash: No, I don’t want anybody to be humiliated.

Audra: Too bad you’re doing that all by yourself.

Ash: I’m not who you think I am.

Update written by Joseph

Paulina uses her laptop in her hospital room. Sarah enters to check on her. Paulina says she’s fine and isolation is great for work, but she’s looking forward to getting out. Sarah reminds her that the treatment is essential to her recovery. Paulina understands being radioactive and asks if Sarah is worried since it’s dangerous to babies and she wouldn’t want to hurt Victoria. Sarah assures that she’s taking all necessary precautions and has her treatment progresses, the amount decreases significantly. Paulina mentions that she’s not bad other than a bit of nausea. Sarah says they can get her something for that and the pharmacy will have it up to her ASAP. Sarah asks if there’s anything else. Paulina says she can’t think of anything else other than to thank her as she’s grateful for the wonderful care she is getting. Sarah tells her that it’s her pleasure. Sarah encourages her to rest and hydrate. Sarah then presents an “I love you” card that Abe made for her. Sarah says if she needs her, she’ll just be a call away as she exits.

Konstantin tells Maggie that he can’t thank her enough for opening her home to him and she has saved him in so many ways, but his time here is truly done. Maggie insists that she doesn’t want him to leave. Konstantin says leaving her will be truly hard so Maggie tells him not to leave and that there must be another way. Konstantin suggests perhaps there is.

Julie has a drink in the hallway at the Kiriakis Mansion while commenting to herself on what a day it’s been. Julie says the mansion is chaos 24/7 with too many guests, drama, babies, and children. Julie declares that it’s time for her to relax with a really good book but Thomas runs into her, knocking her drink out of her hand.

Johnny and Chanel return to the Horton Cabin from hiking on Smith Island. Johnny talks about getting the full experience. Chanel admits it was amazing. Johnny calls her his stunningly beautiful wife as they kiss. Johnny and Chanel drink Italian wine as they reminisce on their time in Italy. Johnny surprises her by having their favorite dinner from Italy set up, revealing he cooked it and brought it with them so it’s heating up as they speak. Chanel calls him the best. Johnny says he’s married to the best as they toast to their honeymoon.

Abe thanks Sarah for delivering his card to Paulina. Sarah tells Abe that he can visit Paulina virtually since it’s against policy for him to enter her room. They sit together as Abe asks how Paulina is really doing since she puts on a brave face. Sarah encourages that she’s doing really great. Sarah says Paulina’s only job is to rest and stay comfortable. Abe knows Paulina never wants to stop working. Sarah hopes that she lets her body recuperate from the trauma and surgeries, but she knows Paulina. Sarah thinks if anyone can break through to her, it’s Abe. Abe agrees to see what he can do.

Thomas apologizes to Julie. Julie questions why he was running in the house like that. Chad comes in and apologizes, explaining that they were playing hide and go seek. Chad acknowledges that everyone’s a bit on top of each other here. Thomas comments on the weather. Julie says there’s rotten weather everywhere as she dreamed of getting outside for a few hours. Thomas apologizes to Julie again. Julie says it’s just wine.

Maggie asks Konstantin how she can help. Konstantin talks about only having a work VISA and he has no family to sponsor him while joining the US army is out of the question, so the only other option he can think of is something he’s mentioned before but he’s reluctant to bring up the possibility. Maggie assumes he’s talking about marriage which he confirms. Maggie thinks it would set off red flags and they’d see right through it. Maggie mentions having access to the most brilliant lawyers in the country, some of whom are dedicated to immigration law, so she will get them to look in to this. Konstantin calls her far too gracious and generous. Maggie encourages that they can get through this and find a way to extend that VISA. Xander enters with Victoria. Maggie tells him how happy she was when she spoke to Sarah and heard the good news which Konstantin questions. Xander informs him that he’s been fully exonerated from the shooting of Harris Michaels and he’s a free man. Konstantin congratulates him and calls him a very lucky man, but Xander notes that luck had nothing to do with it as he was innocent, so the truth was on his side. Maggie says they knew that for sure. Xander adds that maybe luck is with him today if he heard Konstantin is having VISA troubles. Xander asks if he needs a ride to the airport.

Johnny and Chanel finish their dinner. Johnny notes they still have dessert and he likes spoiling her. Johnny suggests they stop talking about how much they love Italy and just go back to Italy. Chanel assures they will get there, but right now she’s just loving being in this cabin with him as they kiss. Chanel suggests they skip dessert. Johnny says he first wants to show her something that he thinks she will get a major kick out of. Johnny heads outside in to the cold and returns with two sticks, revealing they are going to make smores but Chanel doesn’t think so.

Sarah sets Abe up on her tablet and tells him to take as much time as he needs while she goes on break. Abe then opens up his virtual chat with Paulina. Paulina tells him that she’s just finishing up a text. Abe points out that the work day ended a few hours ago. Paulina talks about having reports and spreadsheets still to go through. Paulina mentions a funding bill. Abe advises her on it but Paulina assures that she’s got this and can do the job no matter what’s going on with her.

Julie tells Chad that it will be lovely when they can just go home again, but for now, she will settle for a glass of wine and a good book. Chad apologizes again as Julie says goodnight and heads in to her room. Chad tells Thomas to slow down in the hallways and stay out of the bedrooms as they resume their game of hide and seek. As Chad starts counting, Thomas then enters Konstantin’s bedroom.

Maggie tells Xander that she has her lawyers looking in to extending Konstantin’s VISA. Xander questions why. Maggie explains that Konstantin has come to enjoy this country, so she doesn’t want him to be rushed to leave as he should be able to decide when is the right time for him to go back to Greece. Konstantin thanks Maggie and doesn’t know how he will ever be able to repay her. Xander remarks that he could exit graciously. Konstantin declares that home is where ever he may lay his head. Xander argues that they all know Konstantin can’t go home because a certain criminal syndicate in Greece has made it clear that he can never go back. Maggie understands there will be logistical issues and she has no doubt that when the time is right, Konstantin will return home to Greece. Konstantin thanks Maggie and claims that he looks forward to returning home as well as to taking Maggie back to Greece as well. Xander points out that Maggie won’t have much time for traveling as Sarah told him that Maggie is considering returning to work at Titan which she confirms. Xander says that Titan would be lucky to have her. Konstantin agrees. Maggie asks what’s next for Xander now that his nightmare is over and asks if he’s thought about returning to Titan as well. Xander thinks he will have his hands full with the Spectator to better serve the town’s best interests. Victoria wakes up crying, so Maggie goes to get her teething ring. Maggie runs in to Julie, who complains about the noise. Julie tells Maggie that she loves her and is grateful for her but she has to get out of the mansion for at least one night as she needs a break from this. Julie says she loves the family but she’s pining for her own house. Maggie encourages her to go. Julie asks her to keep an eye on Doug as he’s already asleep. Julie says she’ll be back sometime tomorrow and will just go pack a bag. Julie doesn’t know where she’s going but says she’s going to have a lovely time.

Abe encourages that Paulina can do anything she puts her mind to but he wants her to rest. Paulina questions sitting on her hands even after getting a message that EJ has called a press conference tomorrow without any notice to her office. Paulina remembers she has to call EJ and tells Abe that she will call him back in a few minutes. Abe says to let him know when she’s back online as they hang up. Paulina then calls EJ and tells his assistant that it can’t wait, so she expects him to return this call immediately as they need to discuss serious issues, starting with his press conference. Paulina declares that she will be waiting for EJ’s call as she hangs up.

Johnny asks Chanel what’s wrong with smores and calls it a classic dessert. Chanel explains that her problem is with the sticks and reveals she found actual supplies while the sticks are dirty. Johnny argues that the sticks come from nature but agrees to go along with Chanel’s way. Johnny decides happy wife, happy life as they kiss.

Xander gets Victoria settled down. Maggie returns with the teething ring. Xander thanks her but points out that Victoria is no longer screaming. Maggie gives him the ring anyways just in case. Chad enters and asks if anyone has seen Thomas but they haven’t, so Chad says he will continue the hunt. Xander asks if they can chat about work stuff. Chad says they can make it quick. Konstantin decides it’s a perfect time for he and Maggie to take an evening stroll, so they exit.

Paulina gets on video chat with Chanel. Paulina says she’s much better now that she’s seeing her. Chanel asks about the radiation which Paulina makes jokes about. Chanel doesn’t want to worry about her, so Paulina assures that she’s fine. Paulina asks how Chanel is. Chanel tells her that the woods are beautiful, it’s really peaceful and it’s been great. Paulina says she’s needed to decompress after a crazy couple of months. Paulina tells Chanel to get back to her honeymoon. Chanel sends their love and asks her to let them know if she needs anything. Paulina says she will as they hang up. Paulina then gets a text message that upsets her as she declares that is not going to work for her at all.

Thomas remains in Konstantin’s bedroom and says he can’t give up as he has to win the game of hide and seek. Thomas starts looking through the drawers in the room and finds the book that includes the card that Konstantin used to control John. Thomas picks up the card and calls it so cool.

Chad guesses that Xander is not a big fan of Konstantin which Xander calls an understatement. Chad thought Konstantin was redeeming himself as he’s been great with the kids. Xander asks about the repairs on the house. Chad notes him changing the subject very fast. Chad says the repairs are going well and asks what he wanted to talk about in regards to work. Xander says he just wanted to give him a heads up that he plans to be more active at the Spectator now that he’s a free man. Chad says that’s great as they are poised to break some big stories this cycle. Xander asks how Everett has been doing. Chad responds that he’s a strong investigator with great instincts but he has been distracted with some personal stuff lately that he doesn’t want to get into. Chad notes that he could really use the help. Xander tells him that he has a story for him as he’s interested in who framed him which he wants to run with. Xander adds that he’s surprised there wasn’t more coverage on Stefan’s arrest as he thought Chad would have the inside scoop. Chad says he won’t make excuses for Stefan but he thinks he made some choices based on threats made against Gabi and he thinks they would do the same thing in the name of love. Xander still feels Chad would have more insight based on having one brother on the side of the law and one brother not. Chad says he makes a conscious effort to stay out of his family’s business for his mental health and his children’s safety. Chad tells Xander that if he wants to get his hands dirty, he can go nuts. Chad adds that EJ has a press conference tomorrow and he doesn’t know what it’s about but he’s going to be there. Xander decides he will join Chad, so Chad agrees to text him the details. Xander says he should get Victoria home while Chad notes he should get his kids to bed and they agree to talk tomorrow. Xander wishes Chad luck in finding Thomas in hide and seek which Chad says he’s going to need as Xander exits with Victoria.

Maggie and Konstantin sit together in the park. Konstantin comments on Salem being a magical place and understanding why Victor settled there and how it inspired Victor to create a new life for him and his family. Maggie notes that she wasn’t born in Salem but she will always consider it her home. Konstantin says it seems to have that affect on people. Konstantin adds that something about Salem feels right for him. Maggie asks if he’s sure about that after everything that has happened.

Paulina gets back on video chat with Abe and asks what is going on. Abe says he was planning on telling her and maybe he overstepped, but he wants her to focus on healing. Paulina thanks him which surprises Abe. Paulina admits that Abe overstepped, but she’s glad that he did because with everything going on, her mind is not operating how she wants as it feels foggy which the doctors said would be a possible side effect. Paulina talks about not liking being separated from Abe. Abe encourages that it’s only a couple more nights. Abe says at least Paulina is warm in her room because they might get snow tonight which surprises Paulina. Abe adds that the real storm is going to miss them as it seems to be heading south towards Smith Island. Paulina worries about Chanel and Johnny and wonders if they should tell them to come home. Abe says it wouldn’t be safe to drive anywhere, so the safest place for them is to be cuddled up in front of the fireplace at the cabin, enjoying their honeymoon.

Johnny asks Chanel if everything is okay. Chanel says she’s just worried about Paulina as she knows she’s hating the isolation. Johnny encourages that it is the last of her treatment. Chanel also worries about Paulina’s job as Mayor being stressful. Johnny thinks Paulina is doing an incredible job and that she thrives under pressure. Johnny adds that Paulina has all their support, so she’s going to be fine. Chanel tells Johnny that he’s also doing an incredible job at knowing exactly what she needs to hear as they hug. Johnny and Chanel start kissing on the couch until Julie walks in to the cabin, startling them.

Paulina reminds Abe to water the plants in the kitchen window. Abe says he will take care of everything and encourages her to rest. Paulina complains on having another day of isolation tomorrow. Abe says he’ll download some magazines for her to read. Paulina thanks Abe for being her person and taking such good care of her. Abe says he loves her to the stars and back. Abe tells her to sleep well as they hang up.

Chanel apologizes to Julie as they weren’t expecting her. Johnny questions what she’s doing there. Julie points out that it’s the Horton Cabin. Chanel explains that Sarah let them use it. Julie realizes it’s their honeymoon and apologizes. Chanel and Johnny say it’s ok. Julie says she’s leaving now but they say she can’t since the snow is picking up and there’s no street lights on the island. Julie admits the last mile of driving was challenging. Chanel asks her to stay as they’d be really worried about her. Julie points out there is only one bedroom. Chanel tells Julie to take it after the drive she had but Julie argues that it’s their honeymoon. Johnny assures that the couch is comfortable and they’ll take it. Julie admits she doesn’t want to drive back in the snow and dark, so she agrees to stay and promises to lock the door and stay out of their way. Julie then takes her bag and heads to the bedroom.

Xander brings Victoria to join Sarah at the Pub. Sarah asks about the visit with Maggie. Xander says it was fine apart from Victoria teething like crazy. Sarah asks if Konstantin was there. Xander confirms that he was and he just doesn’t feel right when Konstantin is around. Xander adds that he sensed something was more off than usual. Sarah says maybe he’s overthinking it. Xander does not like their daughter being in Konstantin’s presence and now every time Maggie takes care of her, he’s going to be in the picture. Sarah states that his feelings are valid but points out that nothing has happened in months. Sarah declares that ever since Maggie paid off Konstantin’s debts, life has been quiet and safe. Xander doesn’t equate quiet to safe, pointing out that the Greek mafia don’t just go away.

Maggie tells Konstantin that she loves him having there but she sometimes wonder how he tolerates being surrounded by people who wronged him in the worst ways like John and Steve. Konstantin talks about letting go and says if his time in Salem is running short, he wants to make the most of the time he has left. Konstantin asks Maggie to dance with him. Maggie points out there’s no music. Konstantin responds that when he’s with her, there is music in his heart so they dance together.

Thomas talks about how cool the card is until Chad finds him in Konstantin’s room. Chad questions what he’s doing there as he’s not supposed to be in there. Thomas apologizes and says it was a cool place to hide. Chad asks how he’d like it if someone was in his room. Chad asks Thomas if he touched anything. Thomas swears that he didn’t while crossing his fingers and hiding the card behind his back. Chad then sends Thomas to go brush his teeth.

Nick: Sis, you pulled the whole thing off.

Victoria: Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Nick: Well, that is true.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Oh, would you please remind the staff that this is a dry party, and we’re just going to be serving sparkling cider and mocktails. Thank you.

Nick: So, you know the drill. Jordan is an extremely smart woman. She’s been known to use disguises. You’ve got to be on your toes at all times. There is a chance she tries to break in here and tries to do more damage than she’s already done.

Mortonson: If she shows, we’ll get her.

Nick: She also likes to use other people to do her dirty work. If anybody shows up who is not on that guest list, come to me immediately, okay?

Mortonson: Yes, sir.

Victoria: So, are all of the precautions in place?

Nick: Security team’s been briefed. The staff’s been vetted. I think we’re good to go.

Victoria: Good. It’s a very big night for our parents and our family and our friends, so it’s crucial that nothing interferes with their anniversary celebration. They’ve already survived so much. They deserve all of the happiness.

Chance: Looks like victor’s gone full lockdown.

Summer: My grandmother is the most precious thing in his life. He’d do anything he can to protect her.

Chance: I understand that.

[ Summer gasping ]

Summer: Harrison! Oh, my goodness. You look so handsome. Do you have a present for your great-grandparents in there? Let’s go over here. You can show me.

Kyle: Oh, man. Summer looks happy. I think you’re a big part of that.

Chance: I’m pretty happy myself.

Kyle: No breakup is easy, but I’m pleased to see summer’s doing so well.

Chance: Well, I think you are a big part of that, man. Like tonight, bringing your son to a newman party just to give his grandparents a gift. It’s very cool of you. Getting past all the divorce trauma and trying to be good co-parents.

Kyle: A night with my former in-laws makes my kids smile that I’m in. Harrison will always come first for me and summer.

Cole: Hey, kyle. How are you doing?

Kyle: Good. You?

Cole: Doing well. It’s definitely been a while since I’ve been to a newman party.

Kyle: Yeah, it can be a lot. You ready for this?

Claire: Very. Chance, it’s nice to see you again.

Chance: You as well.

Harrison: Claire!

Claire: Hey!

Cole: Oh, someone definitely has a buddy.

Jack: Wow. You have never looked more beautiful.

Diane: Oh, you’re just saying that.

Jack: No, you’re absolutely gorgeous. My tie on straight?

Diane: It’s perfect.

Traci: Oh, are you off?

Jack: Yeah, I guess we should be going.

Traci: Well, you don’t sound very enthusiastic.

Jack: Oh. I just don’t love leaving ashley right now. It doesn’t seem right after everything she’s been through.

Diane: Well, you know, if you want to stay home and be here for her, we can absolutely skip the party.

[ Traci laughing ]

Traci: Oh, no. You’re not getting off that easily. This is nikki’s big night. You need to be there for her.

Nikki: A sip at a time. A day at a time. Just until jordan is gone.

Victor: Honey? There you are. Oh my god. Look at you. More gorgeous every time I see you.

Nikki: Oh, victor.

Victor: You ready for the big night?

Nikki: Oh, yes.

Victor: Anything you’re worried about?

Nikki: No one can spoil this night for us.

Victor: That’s right.

Nikki: We have earned this celebration. 40 wonderful, complicated, exciting years since we were first married.

Did you know…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jack: Ashley was very angry last night, capable of anything. What if the angry ashley is the one who wakes up next?

Traci: Jack, you have nothing to worry about. Ashley took a sleeping pill. I fully expect she’s gonna sleep through the night.

Diane: If only there was some way to make sure ashley stays herself. No more back and forth.

Traci: Whatever happens, I will just deal with it. What good is the two of you staying around here? No good at all.

Jack: So you’re pretty much pushing us out the door.

Traci: I’m pushing you out the door. Go. Have fun for a few hours.

Jack: On one condition. Let me know if there are any changes. Keep me updated.

Traci: I will.

Diane: Well, it looks like we’re going to a party.

Jack: Yep.

Billy: Hi. Wow. Don’t you look fancy.

Diane: Billy, perfect timing.

Jack: You can keep traci company.

Billy: Very happy to do that. And very, very happy to not be attending a party that toasts victor newman.

Nikki: Shall we?

Victor: Not so fast. Not so fast.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: You spoil me so. You shouldn’t have.

Victor: I hope you feel differently once you’ve seen it.

[ Nikki gasping ]

Nikki: Ruby. For our ruby anniversary. Oh, it’s stunning.

Victor: You are stunning.

Nikki: Put it on me.

[ Nikki sighing ] Thank you, my love. Thank you.

Victor: Do you like it?

Nikki: Not just for this, but for everything that you do. These last months, I know I’ve let you down.

Victor: No, no, no. Don’t talk about that.

Nikki: No, let me finish.

Victor: Well?

Nikki: You have stood by me. You have supported me. You have held me when I lost hope. You’re always telling me how strong I am. But your belief in me is what fuels that strength. You always put me first. You fight for our family and our future. And I love you for that. And I promise, the years we have ahead will be even better than we can imagine.

Victor: And I have as much faith in our future as you do. And it starts tonight. So, let us now celebrate with our friends and family. Let us celebrate our eternal love.

Victoria: Really? Okay.

Adam: Evening.

Nick: Good evening.

Sally: It’s beautiful.

Victoria: Oh, thank you. Ah, excuse me, I have to check on something.

Sally: Nice to see you.

Adam: Well, maybe I’ll get a warmer greeting from my other sister.

Devon: Oh, hey!

Adam: Glamorous, as always, abby.

Abby: Hi, adam.

Adam: Devon.

Devon: Hey. Nice night for a party, yeah?

Abby: It is. Umm, let’s go talk to victoria. I’ll catch up with you later.

Nick: Okay.

Adam: Oh, oh.

Nick: I’m glad you’re both here.

Sally: You might be the only one.

Nick: Don’t worry about it. It’s a tough room at times. How’s connor?

Adam: I wish I could tell you. I haven’t had any contact with him directly, just general reassurances from his team.

Nick: Is that part of the protocol?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Chelsea and I, we were told to keep our distance and give him some space for the first few weeks.

Nick: First few weeks?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Zero contact.

Nick: Oh, man. I bet you want to rip that place apart to get to your boy. Is it like that for all the parents?

Adam: No, it’s not. But when they tell you that you’re one of the triggers for your son’s ocd and you’re the cause of his pain and suffering and his whole world being upside down, they tell you to stay away for your kid’s wellbeing.

Kyle: You look lovely.

Claire: Thank you. And you, summer, have such a great sense of style.

Summer: Thank you.

Claire: So chic and put together I– I’d love some pointers sometime.

Harrison: Claire, look.

Claire: A bunny? Wow, that’s awesome.

Harrison: It’s my good luck charm.

Claire: A lucky-bun? Lucky you!

Kyle: He doesn’t go anywhere without it.

Claire: I used to have a good luck charm when I was little, too.

Kyle: You still have it?

Claire: Got lost somewhere along the way.

Harrison: I’m never going to lose him.

Summer: It’s time for us to go downstairs, don’t you think? Chance: Sounds good.

Jordan: How precious. Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Nick: Okay, I’m sorry, that sounds agonizing. Why did the doctors think you were a trigger?

Adam: Well, they claim that it came from connor. He told them that his thoughts are worse when he’s around his parents. So basically, chelsea and I, we have screwed up, and I suck as a dad.

Nick: Adam, that is not true.

Adam: Well, the doctors with their certificates and diplomas and awards seem to think so, and they think I should stay away from my own son.

Nick: But?

Adam: But none of it feels right. You know, not being around him. Not being the one that can make things better for him. So we should really just change the subject, or I’m going to be punching the walls when the guests of honor arrive. So, martinis, sound good?

Sally: Yes.

Nick: Yeah, sorry, it’s a dry party.

Adam: Oh, man. This day just keeps getting better.

Michael: Have I mentioned how dazzling you look?

Lauren: Well, not in the last five minutes.

Jack: Okay, enough, enough.

Diane: Oh, hi!

Jack: Hello there.

Michael: Oh, my gosh. You and diane had a newman anniversary. I think– I take it victor didn’t get a look at that guest list.

Lauren: Oh, well, maybe he was just feeling warm and fuzzy because of the momentous occasion.

Michael: Can I interest you in a glass of sparkling cider?

Diane: I’d love it.

Michael: Come here, honey.

Jack: Hey, there.

Lauren: Hi. So, jack abbott at a victor newman party. You know what? Your loyalty to nikki is next level.

Jack: She begged me to come. I had to say yes.

Lauren: Oh, well, she’s so lucky to have you in her corner.

Jack: Oh, she wouldn’t be doing as well as she is doing if you hadn’t stepped up to help her out at newman media. It’s just not easy, what she’s going through, on any level, but especially with jordan out there. But I am hoping that she has turned a corner.

Lauren: Oh, I’m so happy to hear that. I think she and victor have more to celebrate than just their anniversary tonight.

Victor: Mortonson. Everything all right?

Mortonson: It’s all good, sir. My men are posted at every possible entrance.

Victor: Good. You stay alert. I’m relying on you and your team, all right?

Mortonson: Yes, sir.

Victor: Thank you. Are you ready for the big entrance?

Nikki: Am I ready?

Victor: Yes. This entrance has been 40 years in the making.

Victor: Baby, you’re so gorgeous. Let’s go.

Victoria: Hello, everyone.

Claire: Hey.

Victoria: Hi, harrison. I see that you’re still making friends with claire. She’s my daughter. Did you remember that? Isn’t that cool?

Cole: Oh, and I’m claire’s dad, and so we are a family, just like you and your parents.

Claire: You know what, harrison? I think your mom wants to see you and lucky-bun. And I am going to go try one of those fancy drinks.

Cole: Sure.

Victoria: Did you see that? The way that summer was looking at claire?

Cole: Yeah. It’s hard not to notice.

Victoria: It’s not fair. You’d think that she would at least give her a chance. Maybe I should say something to her.

Cole: Or maybe you should stop worrying and overthinking. Claire has broken from jordan. She’s completely won over victor and nikki. And if she can do that, she can handle anything.

Victoria: You’re absolutely right.

[ Applause ]

Cole: Hey!

Nick: It’s time we honor the couple of the hour. Now, we’re talking 40 years, so this could take a while to dig in. Mom, dad, you’ve had it all. The ups, the downs, the highs, the lows. You have been there for each other. You’ve been there for us, your kids, your grandchildren. You’ve shown us what real love is and the power that it has and what it can survive and that it always wins. At least if victor newman has anything to say about it.

Victoria: Mom and dad, you may not have always lived in the same house, but you’ve always been a part of each other’s life, for better or for worse. And in the end, I think it’s all been for the better. You’ve taught us how to believe in ourselves, the family, and the love that holds us all together. Dad, you taught me how to throw a jab and a right cross, even when I didn’t know that’s what I needed. And mom, you showed me ever since I was a little girl that a mother would do anything to keep her child safe, to love that child and to support them so that they can flourish and be happy. I’m so proud to be your daughter and to witness this once-in-a-lifetime love that you have and be a part of this family that you created.

Nick: Thank you.

Adam: Well, victoria and nicholas aren’t the only second-generation newmans here. Um, I would like to offer a toast of my own. Maybe more of an apology. You know, over the years, I have caused my dad a lot of trouble. Too much heartache. Nikki, I… you have every reason to feel the way you do about me and for what it’s worth. I regret it all. Now, more than ever, I see my father’s wisdom. And I understand the depths of his love, not just for me, but for my son, connor. For everyone in the family. A man that pushes us to our limits, but goes beyond to help us. And to the only woman in the world that is his match in every way. Connor could not ask for better grandparents.

Nick: Good job, bro.

Summer: As a third-generation newman and a decidedly spoiled grandchild, I can say with confidence that I have learned everything that I know about love and family from the two of you. The way you fiercely protect each other and everybody that you love. The way that you always make time for one another and for all of us. And yes, they are very generous with their gifts. I mean, check out that ring that my grandmother is wearing.

All: Ooh!

Nick: Yeah.

Summer: But that does not compare at all to the love and the support and the loyalty that you show all of us. Happy 40th anniversary. I love you.

Abby: Well, it’s not a secret that I was a little bit of a brat. But my dad’s patience was as infinite as his love. You have set the bar very high for how far you will go for love. Some people might think it’s a little too far, but your mind can’t be changed, and you cannot be stopped. And nikki newman, you are the only person in the whole wide world who could match his energy. But thank you for finding a place for me in your family and in your heart. 40 years, that is a lot of love. You’re an inspiration to us all. I love you both.

Devon: Um, I just wanted to say that I’m really happy that you guys are celebrating your anniversary in the same place that honors my dad because you both meant a whole lot to neil, and you mean just as much to me, because you’ve always treated me and loved me like family. And you’ve shown me what true love really looks like and what you can accomplish with it. And I know that the power of that love has been felt by everybody in this room. So thank you.

Michael: Oh, victor. We’ve worked together, against each other. We’ve been friends, enemies, and everything in between. But the one constant in your life, victor, has been your love for nikki. When you found nikki, you found your heart.

Lauren: Mm. And we are all so grateful that you did.

Victor: Careful.

Jack: I have always been impressed with nikki’s strength and resilience. Think about it. I mean, she has put up with victor newman for all this time. Recently, I got to see just how much victor loves his wife, so much so that he’s willing to endure having me in her life, having me here at this party. So to victor, who has shown loving, loyal respect to an amazing, one-of-a-kind woman, and nikki, your commitment to your marriage and your incredible strength are a lesson to all of us.

Victor: My darling. Many moons ago, you looked into my eyes and you said, “victor newman, you will never love another woman the way you love me.” How right she was. You’ve taught me about love, what it means, what it requires, and you’ve given me a family I thank the lord for every day. All my success in life means nothing without you, my darling. Without this wonderful family. It has been a hell of a ride. I wonder where the rest of the ride will take us to.

Nikki: Well, there were a few detours here and there. But we always end up here, together, stronger for the challenges we’ve faced. But I know, with you by my side, and your belief in me, in us, that anything, everything, is possible. You are the love of my life, victor newman, and I am blessed every single day that I can call you my husband. Tonight, celebrating with our family and friends means everything, and no one can take it away from us.

Michael: To nicky and victor!

Lauren: And glorious, enduring love! Type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[ Indistinct chatting ]

Abby: Well, a new niece. That doesn’t happen every day. I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, but I heard you were trying to take things slow, and too many newmans at once can be a little overwhelming.

Devon: A little?

Abby: Hey.

Nikki: You and michael, your toast. You’re amazing friends.

Lauren: Well, michael did most of the talking, you know, like usual. But I agreed with everything that he said. And from your glow, I can tell you’re having a wonderful time tonight.

Nikki: I’m having an incredible time.

Lauren: I’m just so glad you’ve gotten your sobriety back. You probably won’t even need me at newman media soon.

Diane: Congratulations, victor.

Victor: Well, my goodness, diane, jack.

Jack: Victor, I hope you weren’t offended by my toast.

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Considering the source, it was very appropriate. By the way, where’s ashley? I’d asked her to come by.

Diane: Oh, she meant to send her regrets. She’s, um, she’s feeling under the weather.

Billy: I remember ashley’s phantom pregnancy when she thought she had a child, but I don’t remember a lot about her earlier psychological issues.

Traci: It was triggered by trauma. Ashley was suffering from what they called hysterical amnesia. She left town. And thank god, she finally returned and she recovered. She had a few breaks after that. But this time, it’s so different.

Billy: How so?

Traci: Well, in the past, she always got help and took treatment and recovered and put it all behind her. And now, she’s resisting any kind of treatment.

Billy: Until now.

Traci: Yes, thank god. Until now. She’s willing to see a therapist and she’s willing to get to the bottom of what’s going on here.

Billy: That’s good. That’s good.

Traci: Billy?

Billy: Yeah?

Traci: I have a couple of questions for you, if you don’t mind.

Billy: Open book.

[ Traci chuckling ]

Traci: You’re so sweet. Well, you had– you had mentioned that you’ve been through something similar to this a few years back.

Billy: Yep, that’s true.

Traci: I was wondering if you wanted to talk about that a little bit more. If you don’t mind.

Billy: I don’t talk about it very much. But that was a very tough time for me.

Summer: Thank you for being my date tonight. You know, the full-on newman experience isn’t always an easy one.

Chance: There’s no place I’d rather be.

Adam: Miss? You know me. This is the best part of the night.

Sally: Well, the evening isn’t over yet.

Cole: Wow.

Victoria: She really does look so happy, doesn’t she?

Cole: Yeah, it’s just so great to see her so relaxed. Just comfortable in her own skin.

Victoria: She was very excited about tonight.

Cole: Uh… about the, uh…

Victoria: The kiss?

Cole: Yeah. That. I hope I didn’t overstep. And I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable in any way.

Victoria: No! No, I’m not uncomfortable at all. I mean, it was a surprise. But it wasn’t really a surprise.

Cole: Hm. I felt the same way.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: Hell of a party, pop.

Victor: Thank you.

Adam: Congrats again on 40 years.

Sally: You two are truly an inspiration.

Nikki: That’s very kind of you to say.

Victor: How is connor, by the way?

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: I’m afraid not good. But I will keep you posted.

Nikki: Oh, the poor little guy. So far away. No family nearby. Would I be able to send him a care package?

Adam: He would love that. Thank you.

Nikki: Anything we can do to help him get through it.

Victor: It goes for you as well. You know that, right?

Adam: I do.

Victor: Don’t worry about connor. I’ll take care of things. He’ll be all right.

Adam: Thanks, dad.

Victor: So, why don’t you go out on the dance floor with miss spectra? Have a great time, okay? A nice evening.

Billy: Oh, it wasn’t that. I always know I can go to you, but… you know, it was just my own issue. I just didn’t want to really share it with anyone at the time. Although, I did confide in jack a little bit.

Traci: Um… thank you for trusting me with all of this, and I hope you know, you can always come to any one of us. We will rally around you, just like we’re doing for ashley right now. No judgment, only love.

Diane: Kyle. I didn’t expect to see you here, but I’m glad you are.

Kyle: Well, harrison wanted to come, so I gave him a ride.

Diane: You’re a good dad.

Kyle: I try.

Diane: Yeah. It’s a wonderful party, isn’t it? I don’t know how victor and nikki pulled it off for all these years. I mean, well, granted, 40 is a bit of a fudge. It neatly erases my marriages to victor and jack’s to nikki, but still, it’s quite an accomplishment.

Kyle: Mom, mom, mom. I know you’re making an extra effort because you’re unhappy with me, but that doesn’t change that.

Diane: No, kyle, I’m not unhappy with you. I’m unhappy with the situation, but I’d like to believe it will all work out.

Kyle: Yeah. Yeah, one way or another. Things will work out just fine.

Victor: Well, now, look at this. What do we have here? Oh.

Nikki: Oh, harrison, how beautiful.

Victor: It’s so nice.

Nikki: I know right where we’ll hang it.

Victor: Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Your daddy’s right over–

Nikki: Thank you so much.

Victor: Look how charming you are. My goodness. Daddy’s right over there.

Diane: Oh.

Harrison: Dad, I’m sleepy.

Kyle: I hear you, buddy. All right, we’re calling it. Harrison’s tired and I’m not really part of this party anyway.

Summer: Good night, sweetie. I love you.

Kyle: Oh, grab your backpack, pal.

Summer: Yeah, here you go.

Claire: Harrison’s amazing.

Summer: Yeah, he is.

Claire: You and kyle have done such a wonderful job raising such a happy and smart little guy.

Summer: We do our best.

Nick: Got to hand it to you, you know how to throw a party.

Victor: Part of the newman tradition, you know.

Nick: Yes, sir.

Victor: By the way, let’s keep an eye on security, all right? We’ve got to keep a lid on all that.

Nick: Yeah, I’ve been talking with the security guards all night. There’s been nothing unusual, no uninvited guests, no sign of jordan.

Victor: Well, to be honest with you, I wish there had been because then we could have finally caught her.

Nick: You know what they say, dad?

Victor: What?

Nick: Be careful what you wish for. Struggling with the highs and lows of bipolar 1?

Nikki: Hello.

Victor: Are you happy, my darling?

Nikki: I am as happy as I was 40 years ago in your arms with our future ahead of us. Thank you so much, darling. Tonight has been wonderful.

Victor: Yes, it has. Wonderful.

[ Applause ] Shall we?

Nikki: Certainly.

Victor: If you don’t mind, I would love to dance with my lovely bride.

Claire: Someone’s going to miss their lucky bun.

[ Soft piano music playing ]

Victor: Happy anniversary.

Nikki: Happy anniversary, darling.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Claire: It’s getting late. I should go.

Kyle: No. Please. Stay. Dad, I wish this was a game, but it’s not. Damn it. Damn it! Why did I trust her with him?

Victoria: Why would she bring harrison here?

Summer: Claire took harrison. They’re both missing.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’ve missed you. And the invader is not the same without you. I miss it, too. I truly enjoyed the work.

[ Inhales sharply ] But in the words of a famous american poet, you got to know when to fold them. My best days aren’t ahead of me. I hope you don’t mind if I still call you every day with all my problems, especially when they’re ethically sticky. I’d be hurt if you didn’T. Anything in particular? Let’s just eat before I lose my appetite.

The invader gives me heartburn. Sorry to hear that. You know, there’s something else I-I wanted to say to you. I am so sorry, but I can’t be your extra one for the wedding. Why not? Because there’s a slight chance that I may be getting my law license back. I’ll take it you got my message about some of your bank accounts being unfrozen. I did. Fast work.

[ Chuckles ] I’m diane miller. Do I have enough money… to buy back carly’s half of the metro court? I don’t know what my mom was doing with agent cates, but… oh, it was all too clear what they were doing. Uh, carly was picking up room service for two, and agent cates was wearing nothing but a towel. Nina, things aren’t always as they appear. I’m sure carly wouldn’t cheat on drew. No, she wouldn’t be cheating, curtis. Carly and I broke up. I’m sorry. I didn’t know. My mother’s personal life is her business, not yours. Mm. I just think it’s a shame that she would hook up with a guy who’s a federal agent two minutes after she and drew broke up. You don’t tell your buddies, but I think your coat is the shiniest. You must get a lot of vitamin a, d, and e, huh? You again? Any luck with the job search?

[ Sighs ] Not really. I’ve applied for everything — receptionist positions, corporate communications, positions in insurance and public affairs, most of them in new york and connecticut. Yeah, I mean, I’d hate to see you move, but, uh, at least you’re getting nibbles, right? Yeah, but nothing that interests me. And I’m tired of being considered because these jobs are public facing and I fit the company’s image. Yeah, well, the receptionist ones are definitely out. I mean, you’re way too qualified for that. But any company would be lucky to have you. Well, not if they only care about my looks. Been there, done that. We — we need gels. It’s just not flattering, the light to the product — to — to the product. Um, you know, we need warmth. Excuse me. Hi. Could we perhaps get some lighting gels? We would really appreciate it. Well, I need to get the producer’s permit. No, jennifer, it’s okay. Just do it. Hello, ladies. Are you ready for another blockbuster segment? Oh, absolutely. All set. Oh, well, no sasha I hear. Unfortunately not. Uh, well, I don’t know this blaze, but my granddaughters are very excited. I’ve been ordered to get an autograph. So is she here yet? Well, um, we’ve decided to streamline the duties of the face, so blaze will not be the spokesmodel today. Ah. Then who is doing the selling today? Who else? Moi.


It’s fully electric, not a hybrid? Oh, that is so awesome! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Send me all the specs and the financials. Send me everything. I’m so excited you have the pickup in stock. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, I’ll be waiting. Don’t tell me that you and chase have eschewed the traditional limo ride to the church for a-a 4×4. Before you believe what nina’s telling you, just consider the source. Oh. Well, I would imagine michael’s used to this. I mean, carly’s not known for her discretion. Okay, carly has a right to privacy, just like everybody else. I doubt any of us would like everybody to know what we do behind closed doors. Oh, that’s the thing. Agent cates’ door wasn’t closed. I mean, they were perfectly visible from the hall. I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe carly just needed a good…night out. Okay. We don’t know what did or didn’t happen. What we do know is that carly and agent cates are consenting adults, so whatever happened is none of our damn business. Yep. Curtis is right. I’m done discussing it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it must be painful, knowing that carly got over your relationship so quickly. So, you are the spokesperson? Uh, yes, siree bob. Because, uh, who better than the founder? And nobody knows the product better than lucy. No. Yes, indeed. I mean, I have been in on every single step of developing our new face cream. Okay, well, I am going to have to check with my producer about this. Okay. Well, that certainly could have gone a lot better. What is with you? What is with your tepid attitude? Tepid? Uh, yeah. You just stood there like you — you swallowed a fish. W-why didn’t — why didn’t you have my back more? Um, maybe because I don’t agree with your decision to do this. Why are you insisting on taking this all on yourself? Okay. Why are you so against — oh, wait a minute. You want to get up there yourself. You do, don’t you? You want the spotlight, is that correct? You have to be kidding me. I want sasha in the spotlight. The public knows her, and they love her. Okay, fine. But you have to get over that because sash–

[ Whispering ] Sasha quit. Yeah, thanks to you. Hey. Hey. I got your text. How did you know I was in the hotel? Well, nina told me. I guess you spent the night in, uh, agent cates’ room. Ohh! That woman! She called to tell you that? What, is she gonna put it on the cover of the invader? I-I was — I was I-in drew’s office downstairs, and then she showed up, and she filled us in. She told drew? And me and curtis ashford. We were in the middle of a meeting. She once told sonny that I was having an affair with brick, and she was wrong. I mean, does that woman ever learn? And just to be clear, I stayed over with agent cates. I did not sleep with him. I know. I know, mom. How is drew? I doubt you have developed a sudden interest in the hospitality industry, so I can only assume — I’m going to give the metro court back to carly. There it is. That’s a very generous impulse, my friend, but it’s going to take some finessing. First of all, nina has no incentive to sell. Well, give her one. She can name her price. No, she can’T. Absolutely not. I have far too much pride in my skills as a negotiator to ever hand anyone a blank check, much less that real-estate heiress. She can make a little profit, but I’m not going to let you overpay. Okay, diane, handle it however you think is best. Just make it happen. Your real obstacle is going to be carly. Why? Because you’re not the first person to off– offer to help her reclaim the metro court. Initially, olivia offered to loan her the money. Then nina, in a craven attempt to suck up to sonny, offered to sell it back to her. Then sonny, then michael, and carly has said no always. She wants to do it herself. Oh, you don’t worry about carly. I’ll work it out with her.


Sasha, you are still looking for a job, right? You’re not trying to get rid of me, are you? Never. But, uh, you know, as great as it’s been, you can’t just hang out here with me and the horses forever. I know. I’m going to run out of savings at some point. Sooner than I had hoped, actually. But I love being here with the horses. They don’t care about how I look. Yeah, the horses appreciate you for you. Exactly. I get what you’re saying about being underestimated. People underestimate you, too, don’t they? Occasionally. But, I mean, you’re on a whole nother level, you know? You got brains, business savvy, personality, not to mention a strong work ethic. I’m proud to say that I helped develop deception’s initial business plan. Yeah, yeah, I bet lucy and maxie are kicking themselves right now for letting you walk away. Should i be kicking myself? Was I crazy to leave deception? Why? You thinking about going back? You know, if you hadn’t undermined sasha by telling her she needed to be edgier, we wouldn’t be in this mess. What mess? We are not in a mess. There’s no mess. Deception, it’s not in a mess. And I am perfectly capable of being a pitch woman. Not as capable as sasha. Our customers admired her, lucy, not just for her beauty, but for her courage and the challenges she faced. She justified their faith. She’s not just beautiful, she’s inspirational. And you can’t buy that kind of narrative. What — what are you all of a sudden, the voice of reason? Or is this — you know what it is? It seems like right now you’re a little bit power hungry. Lucy, I-I have just as much of a right to an opinion as you do. We are equal partners. Yeah. We are. No, you’re absolutely right. And as such, we should work together against our common enemy, tracy quartermaine. But you know what it feels like? It feels like that your friendship with brook lynn has clouded your judgment lately. And maybe tracy could then bring down deception. Tracy didn’t want to get rid of sasha. She actually lobbied to keep her. Until she didn’t, because sasha quit and she was not fired. Okay. All right. Fine. Maybe if sasha had felt heard and included, she would have stuck around. But you’re only interested in your opinion. Face it, lucy, your love affair with yourself is the real problem. Chase and I are going tolorence on our honeymoon. Oh, congratulations. Florence is beautiful. It’s one of my most favorite spots on earth. Ah, I cannot wait to stroll through the boboli gardens hand in hand with chase. It’s going to be so romantic. What does this have to do with a truck? Well, since you so generously are paying for the wedding, chase insisted on paying for the honeymoon. And florence is such a dream come true, but it is more expensive than a stateside destination. So he sold his truck to pay for the trip. Wow. I got to hand it to him. That is a sweet gesture. Yeah, he loved that truck. That is why I am surprising him with a truck as a wedding gift. And guess what? It is fully electric. It is top of the line. Don’t do it. Come again? Disrespecting your husband is no way to start a marriage. I’m not disrespecting him. I love him. But there’s no reason he has to choose between our honeymoon and a truck. We can afford both. Brook lynn, you can afford both. You are way out of line. I’m sorry. But, curtis, maybe you don’t know drew as well as you think. I love you. Love you, too. Yo, drew, that was uncalled for. I’ve survived worse. Now, come on. Where were we? In a minute. You know, I-I wasn’t aware that you and carly had broken up. How come you didn’t tell me? Well, because you had a few things to focus on, man.

[ Sighs ] Right. You know, I remember when you came to the gym and you told me that things were rocky between you and carly. I thought you’d worked it out, but I guess you didn’T. You seemed so happy. Yeah. That was, um — that was before jason came back. And cates didn’t want to go to the hospital, so I brought him back here. I stayed with him so I could wake him up every couple hours. Basically, I was on concussion watch. Where’d you find him?

[ Sighs ] A couple blocks from the coffee warehouse. I mean, at first, I thought he was trailing jason, but then I realized he must have been following diane. Why? Because jason’s too hard to follow. I-it didn’t bother you that — that the guy you sat up with all night taking care of wants to bust jason? No, it doesn’t bother me, because cates isn’t going to find any evidence against jason. There’s nothing in that warehouse but coffee. And sonny is so furious with jason right now, there’s no way he’s going to bring him back to the business. So basically, sonny is doing jason a favor. So instead of sitting and enjoying a wedding with you and the happy couple, I will be pacing up and down a hotel room, preparing for my appearance in front of the appellate division of the new york state supreme court. Alexis, this is momentous. Although I have to admit, I’m a little hurt that you kept it from me until now. I really don’t think it could actually happen. I mean, it’s the longest of long shots. I don’t know, you and diane teaming up to argue your case? I’d take that bet. Well, here’s to you. No, don’T. No. I don’t want to jinx anything. Sorry. I’m alternating between pretending this isn’t happening and having paralyzing anxiety, because I really, really want this so much.


Chase and i share everything. What’s mine is his and vice versa. Sounds great. Very unrealistic. Don’t go there. Okay? We already had the prenup conversation. It is not happening. I totally respect your misguided decision to forgo the prenup. However, I have learned from painful experience that having more personal wealth than your husband puts undue stress on the marriage. No offense, grandmother, but chase is nothing like your ex-husbands.

[ Chuckles ] You mean my ex-fortune hunters? You’re absolutely right.

[ Laughs ] But… I know his father, and I am assuming that, in addition to being a stand-up guy, chase was taught to be the breadwinner in the family. Please. That is so old school. Brook lynn, have you not noticed that your husband-to-be is very traditional? It’s part of his charm.

[ Sighs ] I almost blew it, didn’t I? You did it out of love. Just like he sold his truck out of love. But you going off and buying him another one totally negates the sacrifice he made. You’d be devaluing his loving gesture. Wow. You saw that. I didn’T. Well, I have had many years to make mistakes and learn from them. But buck up, girly. You’ve got yourself a thoughtful, generous, devoted husband-to-be. The best. I’m just sad he has to give anything up for me. You know what happens when well-meaning people find out that you have a terminal illness? You start getting suggestions — mindfulness, uh, positive visualization, prayer, alternative medicines, healthy diets, yoga, acupuncture, you name it. That’s got to be really overwhelming. Yes, but you get used to it. I mean, I know it comes from a good place. Have I done that? No, no, not at all. So what’s your point? Just that, despite what other people may suggest, I think what it all comes down to is what you choose to believe. Alexis, do you believe that you could still be a good lawyer? I do. I still have as much passion for it as I’ve ever had, and there’s nothing more satisfying than helping someone get the justice they deserve in court, no matter what the obstacles. I’ll bet you were a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. I hope I get the chance to see you back in action. I hope you do, too. But you should know that most of these appeals are denied, which is why I’ve been so quiet about it. Well, then I’ll have faith for both of us. I wish everyone felt that way. The proofs from the dumbo shoot are on your desk. No one can locate pietro, and he still hasn’t delivered the dress for the cover. And those are your urgent messages. All right, I can get to dumbo later. And please call the agent and tell them that if pietro doesn’t deliver in 24 hours, he is off the cover and my roster. I’m not doing this with him again. All right, these can wait. These can — really? Olivia? She keeps calling. I can’t believe she’s still harping on the color refresh I gave the fourth-floor bathrooms. And you know what? Forget about calling the agent. I want that pleasure myself. Oh, and if drew cain calls, I’m not available. You know that I loved carly. I still love carly. But I am moving on, you know? I’m — I’m — I-I’m getting over it. I’ve accepted the fact that she’ll always put jason first. And that is exactly why I had to end it. You ended things? Are you sure carly is okay with that? I mean, after everything you’ve been through? And you put your life on the line for her. Curtis, believe me, we — we both know that it’s for the best. I-I-I did us both a favor. That sucks. It does. It does. But I also know that it’s the right decision. I really do. And the next time that I’m in a relationship, I’m going for the brass ring. I want what you and portia have. I want it to be tested, survivable, solid. That’s true. That’s — that’s what we have. We have definitely been through the fire. Hey, we’re still standing. Couldn’t be happier for you. I am just so passionate about my company. You know, right now, deception is the most important thing in my life. Yeah, I — I know you love deception, but so do I. I know. You know, I have nothing but love and respect for you. I mean, come on. That’s why I lured you away from crimson. “Join us at deception.” But this friendship you have, you know, with tracy’s granddaughter, it just — it sets my teeth on edge because I cannot let that harpy ruin everything I — we worked so hard to build. Yeah. I mean, we built deception, lucy, together. And unless we get on the same page and start trusting each other again, tracy’s not going to have to lift a finger to destroy deception. We’re going to do it for her. Well, ladies, my producer agrees with me. Um, lucy is not a suitable replacement for sasha. So, your segment is canceled. Do you want me to put you in touch with a real-estate agent? Why? To find you a place to live? I have a place to live. A rented room above bobbie’s? Yeah, I like it there. Okay, well, if you change your mind, and if I can convince nina to sell, you’ll have a whole hotel full of rooms to choose from. I like where I am, diane. Did you sign the papers that my assistant dropped off last night? I didn’t — I didn’t get any papers. What are you talking about? He was supposed to bring them to you last night. Oh. Hi, diane. Hi, carly. [ Chuckles ] Oh, those look familiar. Yeah. Sorry. Your assistant dropped them by bobbie’s, and I said that I would bring them over. But, you know, I got sidetracked. Jason, start signing. You don’t need a notary. I will pick them up from you the next time I see you. Which I think will be soon. I’m off. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Yeah. I’m good. Thanks — uh, thanks for bringing the papers by. Oh, yeah. That was just an excuse. I just — I just wanted to see you. Did something happen? Yeah, I — I did something you’re not going to like.


Guess not. What was that? You asked if I was thinking about going back to deception, and just hearing you say that made my stomach drop. I guess that’s a clear answer for you. I don’t want to do something that I dread. Besides, deception has already moved on. They have a new face, and they booked a segment on “home & heart” today, actually. So no regrets? Not one. I may not know what I want to do, but I do know what I don’t want to do. That’s progress. Yeah. Sasha, when you do figure out what you want, let me know? Molly’s worried that if my appeal is denied, that I’ll start drinking again. Do you think that could happen? I’m an alcoholic. A relapse is always possible. Maybe that’s why I’ve downplayed it so much, because I’m worried that the disappointment might… might what? Destroy you? It’s destroyed me before, and molly had a front-row seat. You know, the life that I’ve rebuilt does not get my pulse racing, but it’s steady. And I worry that if I get my hopes up, it might be too big of a gamble, and I’ve worked too hard for my sobriety. So is this a risk I can afford? It may be old school, but no spouse or partner worth their salt is going to want to live on their other half’s money. You’ve had to deal with this your entire life, haven’t you? The family money has given me… a lot of advantages, but it’s also caused me a lot of pain. Well, those men are idiots. How could anyone look at you and only see dollar signs? You are an amazing woman, filled with wit and depth and — and beauty and surprising sensitivity. I mean, if those guys couldn’t see that, it’s their loss. Yeah, well, I’m a catch. Yeah. So are you. Well, not that the quartermaines are poster children for happy marriages. I mean, look at edward and lila. Yeah, they were in love. But how many times did he cheat on her? Yeah, too many. And alan and monica. Serial cheaters. And they argued about it the whole time. And my father was a bigamist. He was married to my mother and katherine bell at the same time! Wait a minute. What’s your point? What if chase and i follow the same pattern? What if our marriage is doomed already? I mean, you are in charge of the kitchen, is that correct? Well, I may have — oh, I like that. I may have authorized the slightly cutting back of the service staff, but I did not intend for the room service orders to arrive cold. Ms. Reeves can’t be disturbed. If you’d like, I can make you an appointment. I wouldn’T. Excuse me. Oh. Wait. I expect the room service to maintain the same high standards as the rest of the hotel. Thank you very much. I’m sorry, nina. I told her you didn’t want to be — that’s okay, madison. That’s all right. I understand that ms. Miller does not like to take no for an answer. If you are here for the divorce papers, you have wasted your time. No, I’m actually here to make an offer on the hotel. I have a client who is interested in purchasing your half of the metro court and willing to go 3% over market value. Who’s the client? Jason morgan. He was just lying there. And you got out of the car. Carly, that’s too big of a risk to take. I couldn’t just leave him there. I mean, besides, the muggers took off after I blasted my horn. Anyway, I grabbed john, I took him back to his room at the metro court, and I spent the night there, waking him up every two hours to make sure he was okay. And he was jumped a block away from here? Yes, but they didn’t steal anything. They just beat him up. Okay, so w-what are you thinking? I’m thinking maybe it wasn’t a mugging. Maybe it was sonny.


You cannot just cancel our segment. Look, this is live tv. I cannot go on air with an amateur.

[ Scoffs ] An amateur? You know what? I — I hosted the general hospital nurses’ ball for years and years, and it was on a stage and on camera, and I raised millions of dollars for gh. Congratulations. But you will not be selling face cream on “home & heart” today. Okay, I-if you cancel our segment, what are you going to put in its place? And why would you turn your back on a sure thing? Oh, we have lots of pretaped segments. I mean, this isn’t the first time this has ever happened. And with sasha, it was a sure thing. Lucy… whole nother story. Okay, wait a minute. Deception is your highest earner. You said so yourself. All of our segments have sold out. So will this one. Risk, it’s a funny thing. You don’t want to do it unnecessarily. But then again, you’ll never get anywhere if you don’t do it at all. Alexis, trust me when I tell you that the things you regret at the end of your life are not the things you tried to do and failed at. It’s the chances you didn’t take. Let’s say you get reinstated and then you’re back doing the thing you love. But let’s say you don’T. You’ll still know that you gave it your best effort, and that’s its own reward. You taking this chance is like skydiving was for me.

[ Chuckles ] Terrifying? Life-affirming. Cates stopped by bobbie’s a couple times, and I just assumed he was working me for information about sonny, but he never asked me anything significant. But when I told sonny, he was furious, the way he was towards you the other night after your arraignment. You think sonny had cates beat up? I definitely think it’s possible. Yeah. I mean, he hates him. And not because he’s an fbi agent, but because of the history they have. I know the basics about what happened with karen wexler, but sonny regrets it, and you know sonny. When he regrets something, he’s volatile. And on top of that, john was stone’s older brother. And sonny feels that he abandoned stone. So, yeah, I think it’s possible that he would be targeting cates. I don’t know. I mean, look, john cates is an fbi agent. Assaulting an fbi agent is a federal crime. And sonny — sonny knows that. Sonny knows it. He doesn’t care. Since when has jason morgan been interested in the hotel business? I’m just here to make the offer. Well, I would imagine this is for carly. Does he know whose bed carly was in last night? Might change his mind. Interested? Not interested?

[ Knock on door ] Come in. I’m so sorry to interrupt, but accounting needs you to sign off on the ad rates. Uh, yes. Got it right here. You’re so busy, nina. I imagine it must be so difficult to run both crimson and the metro court. I love them both. I hadn’t realized you were interested in the mundane — cranky guests, plumbing issues, all that tableware and linen to keep track of. Well, I’ll leave you to it. 15% over market. 4%. I do not believe that your marriage is doomed. Just be aware that what you think is reasonable, chase may think is extravagant, like public school versus private school. I hear you. As long as you understand that you have very different frames of reference about money, you’ll be okay. Uh, on that front. Chase really loves you. I love him, too. Sorry you weren’t treated with the same respect.

[ Chuckles ] It’s true. I kissed a lot of frogs. I even exchanged vows with some of them. But in the end, I got my prince. My marriage to luke started with blackmail, but it — it ended with a true partnership. We were equals. Luke accepted me f-for me. He loved me. And I did the same for him. Sounds like you were very lucky. I was. So are you.


Thanks, granny. I think chase and i will make it. I certainly hope so. And whatever happens, I’m always on your side. Back at ya. Okay, now I have to get down to the stables because I’m riding again. Oh! Have fun. Thank you. Good talk. Anytime. Very funny!

[ Laughs ] What happened to you? Ranger. Yeah, yeah, he’s got a whole bag of tricks. Not a mean bone in his body, though. Yeah, he’s a sweetheart, but he’s messy. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider deception?

[ Laughs ] Right? Can you imagine if haven de havilland saw me now? And I am here today with lucy coe, the founder of deception. Welcome, lucy. So tell us what fabulous product you have for us today. Well, thank you, haven. In fact, I’m so thrilled to bring you our brand-new face cream for the woman on the go. It is super moisturizing. Goes on, though, like a dream. It’s lightweight. And, listen, you put this on just one time, and you’re good for the whole day. Oh, sounds like my kind of moisturizer.

I tell you, I am so busy and definitely on the go. Oh, tell me about it. No one is busier than I am, let me tell you. I mean, besides, you know, running deception, of course, I have a thriving real-estate business, and I also, for many years, was on the advisory board of elq. And my vote kind of contributed

to major decisions that I — I — just recently, though, um, that’s changed a bit. That’s a long story. You know, I could — I could tell you all about it later. I think you viewers out there, though, probably recognize me the most for being the mistress of ceremonies at general hospital’s nurses’ ball for many years. Well, every — well, actually, um, until last year, uh, I wasn’t, uh, because, well, I was in protective custody. That parachute jump was euphoric, and I almost backed out. And when I forced myself to do it, I realized, up till then, I’d been living in fear. And I don’t want to do that anymore, so… I have to try. I think they call that resilience, which is also life-affirming. And as far as I’m concerned, whether you ever practice law again or not, you’ve already won. Thanks for coming by, man. I really want to discuss this wellness/fitness idea further. Yeah, definitely. Drew, I — I still can’t believe nina came at you like that. It’s all good. I mean, she knew what she was doing. Yeah. Maybe. I think she’s still hurting over sonny. Go easy on her. Yeah. No. Nina and I have reached an understanding and have made accommodations with each other. 9%. Take it or leave it. I will take it back to jason. You know what? This might be a little premature. I, uh — I know we’re talking about price, but I haven’t made up my mind to sell, so…I need to think about it. The offer won’t be on the table indefinitely. If jason wants the hotel so badly, he can wait. So is that why you took care of cates? To make up for what you think sonny did? No, no, I was just trying to help. It wasn’t till after that I thought about it and I realized it could have been sonny. Okay, there’s nothing you can do about it. So here’s the thing. Cates is either going to figure it out, or he’s not. The best thing you can do is just stay out of this. Yeah. That could be a problem. Carly, why? Look, I told you that last night I spent the night in john’s room in a chair. Okay? But this morning, I ordered room service, and when I opened the door to get the tray, john came out of the shower wearing nothing but a towel, and nina was standing right there, and she saw him. She left a vapor trail straight to michael and drew. It’s only going to be a matter of time before nina tells the entire world that I spent the night with john cates, including sonny.

On the next “General Hospital” —
