Steffy: Hope said no to you, now it’s your turn to say no to her, do you hear me?

Thomas: I planned a speech. I planned everything. I made a dress for her. She had the ring.

Steffy: A ring that she’s been wearing as a necklace, thomas. She didn’t even put it on her finger, that’s not right.

Thomas: Steffy, I love her. I love her so much. And I know she loves me. Why won’t she accept my proposal? Why won’t she just commit to me?

Thomas: I want the world to see us walking into the future together, hand in hand, side by side. All you have to do is say you’ll marry me.

Hope: I’m not ready for a forever commitment. I’m sorry, but I can’t be. I’m sorry.

Thomas: No.

Hope: I’m sorry, thomas, wait.

[ Door closes ]

Brooke: Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking all over for you. Wow, what is all this? Honey, what’s wrong?

> Liam: Without the beef, that’s all right. Thanks. Carter, here.

Carter: Hey.

Liam: Hey, what are you doing? You meeting somebody?

Carter: I’m having some lunch.

Liam: Okay, well then have lunch with me.

Carter: Okay. Okay, thanks man. You know, it’s a lot easier coming here now that sheila’s gone?

Liam: I was just saying the same thing. Fortunately, you know who it’s not easier for? Steffy. The sheila nightmare is all still happening for her.

Liam: Steffy’s a good person. Right? I mean, she was traumatized by what she did.

Carter: It was self-defense.

Liam: Yes, it was self-defense, but that’s the thing, justified or not, she still took a life and, you know, for her, that’S… I’m just– I’m concerned about her well-being.

Carter: Yeah, well, her family’s looking out for her.

Liam: Yeah, so am I, so is everyone, but, you know, steffy’s also gotta be looking out for herself, and that’s just not where her head’s at. Like, I was– I saw her earlier, and you know what she’s most concerned about? Thomas. Because of hope.

Hope: I– I, um. I don’t want anyone to see me like this.

Brooke: What’s going on, sweetheart? Why are you crying?

Hope: I can’T…

Brooke: What? What happened?

Hope: It’s thomas.

Brooke: He was here?

Hope: And he just– he ran off before he– he let me explain.

Brooke: So you got in a fight?

Hope: No, mom. He proposed again.

Brooke: And you didn’t accept?

Hope: I just– I’m– I’m not– I’m not ready.

Thomas: I just don’t understand. What did I do wrong?

Steffy: Thomas, you did nothing wrong. This is all hope’s doing.

Thomas: I just can’t believe she rejected me again.

Steffy: Well, I hate to say it, but I’m not surprised. Look, I– I know that you love her, I do, and that comes from a good place, but it is not gonna get you anywhere. All it’s gonna do is cause you pain and frustration. She has let you down so many times. I mean, come on, enough is enough. You need to end your relationship with hope.

Carter: Steffy’s always been protective of her brother.

Liam: Yeah, whether thomas deserves it or not.

Carter: So steffy’s concerned about thomas’ relationship with hope.

Liam: Mm-hmm. You know why? Because she thinks hope is leading him on.

Carter: Well, I have seen hope wearing the engagement ring on a necklace, not her finger.

Liam: Yeah, thank god.

Carter: Sounds like you have some concerns of your own.

Liam: Yeah, but it’s me. I’m biased, right? And I’ve always thought that relationship was doomed to fail. I just, uh, err on the side of worrying thomas is gonna hurt hope, not vice versa.

Carter: Well, it’s good to see you’re not broken up about her not accepting the proposal.

Liam: Can you tell? Can you tell? Listen, I know, I– I get that you have a different relationship with thomas than I do. I just don’t trust him.

Carter: But you said that steffy thinks hope’s the problem.

Thomas: Oh, yeah. Yeah, no she does, because, uh, she thinks that hope is gonna break his fragile little heart.

Hope: He couldn’t even look at me, mom. I hurt him so much.

Brooke: And I’m sure you feel awful about that, honey. But like you said, you are not ready to make this kind of commitment.

Hope: I– I know, and I’ve told thomas that, and I thought he understood. I mean, he– he said that he wasn’t in any rush.

Brooke: Well, what changed? Did he get the wrong idea?

Hope: I don’t– I don’t know. I mean, we’ve always been, you know, sharing our feelings. We’ve been open and honest from the start.

Brooke: Honey, there is no reason for you to rush into a marriage. Especially considering the way your marriage ended with liam. Honey, you need to think about that. You need to think about yourself and your children. There’s a lot to consider here.

Hope: I know that, mom. But you should’ve seen the look on his face. He was heartbroken. And I did that. I caused that pain. And I can’t even imagine what he’s feeling right now.

Steffy: Hope’s been using you, thomas. I’m sorry to be so blunt, but it’s true. All hope does is break your heart over and over again. She won’t wear your ring. She won’t accept your proposal. She doesn’t wanna have a future with you. And all you’re asking for is a promise. A promise that hope would commit herself to you. But she won’T. She’s not gonna do it.

Thomas: I should’ve done what I said I would do, which is give her more time.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Stop this, okay? Hope is the problem. Waiting around is not gonna solve it. That’s what she wants you to do. It’s like some kind of game.

Thomas: There’s no game, steff.

Steffy: No, not to you. You actually want a future with her. You want a family. But she doesn’t want that. You need to get it through your head. She’s just stringing you along. I mean, thomas, come on. You know that. Oh, god, I’ve like said this so many times and you didn’t wanna hear it. Hope didn’t want to hear it. You just gotta think about yourself right now. You really need to think about your sanity. You need to leave hope. Okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Carter: See, I thought everyone was more positive about hope and thomas these days.

Liam: Who are you talking about? Wait, so we got ridge, and we got–

Carter: Clearly not you or steffy, that’s for sure.

Liam: Yeah, clearly not, not when it comes to this.

Carter: Liam, hope and thomas, they’ve been seeing each other for a while now. They seem happy.

Liam: Okay, all right. What happens when it all goes wrong?

Carter: Is that what steffy’s worried about? That hope’s gonna break it off with thomas?

Liam: Yeah, well that’s what she’s worried about and then what I’m worried about is how thomas is gonna react when she does.

Carter: Okay, all right. That’s something to consider given thomas’ past, okay.

Liam: Thank you. I– right. But steffy’s still focused on the hope part. She thinks that hope isn’t really in love with him.

Carter: And you don’t either.

Liam: Every time you bring him up to hope, she gets all like, she gets all defensive and she’s like, “you don’t know what we have and you don’t understand the situation.” I’m just saying like, okay, if she were really head over heels for the guy, would she be doing that? I don’t think so.

Carter: So you’re saying that hope is setting thomas up for another huge disappointment.

Hope: I feel terrible, mom. I mean, things have been going so well. We’ve been so happy.

Brooke: So thomas wants to take the next step and you’re not quite there.

Hope: I tried to explain it to him, but he was so hurt and he was in so much pain and I just couldn’t get through to him. And I just feel like I just ruined everything.

Brooke: Honey, stop. You can’t think that way. What are you doing? You are a kind, compassionate woman. But sometimes, you need to look out for yourself. What’s good for your heart? You can’t just go into a marriage. If that’s not what you truly want.

Hope: I want thomas, mom. I want our relationship. I want thomas to know that I’m so grateful for him and I want him to understand that I love him. I love him, mom. I love him.

Steffy: You can’t be there for hope anymore. You need to cut her out of your life.

Thomas: You don’t know what you’re asking of me.

Steffy: I’m telling you to save yourself, thomas.

Thomas: Steff, I really thought she was gonna say yes.

Steffy: I know this is really painful for you, okay? I know that you’re devastated. But you need to think about douglas. You can’t have him keep watching you get burned by hope.

Thomas: Okay, but I am– I’m not going to hide my feelings from my son.

Steffy: Okay, okay. If douglas was in a situation like this, he was involved with a girl treating him the exact same way hope is treating you, what would you tell him? You would want him to protect himself. Show him that. Think about your pride and your dignity. I mean, thomas, this situation is really wearing you out. I mean, you are in a toxic relationship. And this toxicity, it may resurrect your demons. I don’t want that for you. You’ve worked so hard on yourself, okay? You’ve changed. Everything that’s going on with hope, it’s not worth it. She’s not worth it. Today proves that. I want you to be happy. Just not with hope. I mean, you could be with any other woman in the world. You deserve that. You deserve to be happy. Good food tastes better with a dollop of daisy

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: You and me, together. I wanna spend the rest of our lives with each other. Say you’ll be my wife.

Hope: I love you. I really do. But I– I can’t accept your proposal, I’m– I’m not ready.

Steffy: She has let you down so many times. I mean, come on, enough is enough. You need to end your relationship with hope.

Brooke: Thomas.

Thomas: Is that for me?

Brooke: Uh, no, actually, I didn’t know you’d be here. I saw hope in the salon. You proposed again.

Thomas: I really don’t wanna talk about it. I’m trying to work.

Brooke: I’m not here to make you feel worse. Really, I can see how heartbroken you are. My daughter is too. Thomas, she didn’t mean to hurt you. And she didn’t wanna reject you.

Thomas: She said no.

Brooke: But you can understand why. She did try to explain.

Thomas: She’s been wearing my ring. I get it. She’s been wearing it on a necklace, I know. But she’s been wearing it. She could have just said no. She could’ve rejected it. She could’ve given it back to me, but she didn’T. She kept wearing it. And ever since then, we have only gotten closer and closer. And the other night, she told me that she never, ever wanted what we found in rome to end. I really thought she’d say yes. I thought she’d accept my proposal, I… have I just been a fool, brooke? Tell me the truth. Does hope really love me?

Steffy: Sometimes, I just hate being right.

Hope: You know.

Steffy: Oh, that thomas’ heart was broken? Yes, I know.

Hope: Steffy, I never meant to hurt your brother.

Steffy: I knew this was gonna happen, I knew it. And here we are.

Hope: Steffy, I’m just not ready for that level of commitment.

Steffy: Oh, I know that. But the only person who doesn’t know that is thomas. God, you gotta stop with this game. Thomas has loved you for so long, so much so that he almost messed up his life. But he’s fought back. He’s turned his life around.

Hope: I know that, steffy. That’s why it’s different this time. That’s why I love him.

Steffy: Oh, you do not love him.

Hope: Yes, I do.

Steffy: He professed his love to you. He said that you are the only woman in the world. He wants to be with you, so what’s the problem?

Hope: I know what he means to me, and I know that I can count on him.

Steffy: Not anymore. I think I got through to him.

Hope: What did you do?

Steffy: I told him the truth. That you’re never gonna accept the proposal. And that you’re just using him. You’re just toying with his emotions. So, I told thomas to stand up and tell you he is done with you. He’s ending his relationship with you once and for all.

Chelsea: I have enormous faith in therapy and treatment. I really do. But, um, I’m just not sure I know how to do this. And I’m actually not quite sure I– I can do this. Um, deal with connor’s ocd, his, um, his treatment, I mean.

Alcott: You’re not the first parent to worry that they won’t be able to cope with this kind of diagnosis. But once you have all the information and are equipped with the right tools, I think you’ll find you’re stronger than you believe, more than capable of helping connor.

Chelsea: My situation is– is different. I’m– I’m not talking about your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill parental anxiety. Things are, um, different for me because of my past. And I’m worried that it’s gonna make things much worse for my sweet little boy, if it hasn’t already.

Adam: I haven’t really had a chance to check out your new room.

Connor: Yeah.

Adam: It’s nice. I, uh, I can help you put away your stuff you asked for from home if you want?

Connor: No, you’ll do it wrong.

Adam: Do you like this room better than the other room? You never really explained to us why you wanted to change rooms.

Connor: I don’t wanna talk about it.

Adam: Well, it must be a pretty big reason for you to wanna up and move in the middle of the school year.

Connor: It’s no big deal, all right?

Adam: Connor, come on. I’m your old man. You can tell me anything. Is there a problem with another student?

Connor: Nothing like that.

Adam: Well, then what? You didn’t like the view? Didn’t like the color of the walls? It was too far from the dining hall, hmm?

Connor: It was me.

Adam: You? What does that mean?

Connor: I couldn’t stay in there because of me and my craziness.

Kyle: There’s definitely more to claire’s story than what she and victoria were willing to share.

Summer: Yeah, I’m not saying that anybody has to tell us anything, but the way that victoria was so careful with each of her words, it… I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I’m overreacting. Sure, claire was sweet, and she did have some sort of an instant connection with harrison, and he was in a very bad mood, and she made him smile and come out of his shell.

Kyle: It’s a nice change of pace after how the day started.

Summer: Not just today. I mean, we haven’t seen harrison’s happy, usual self in a while now, and I just– I do want him to feel safe again, like he was before linda went away, and definitely before–

Kyle: When we split up.

Summer: Yeah. Look, I’m not saying no to interviewing claire. I’m just saying before we really consider it, we need to do some research.

Nick: Mom? Dad? Vic?

Victor: Son, didn’t realize you were coming.

Nick: Where is everyone?

[ Banging ]

Jordan: Ah! Ow! Ow! Damn it.

Claire: She doesn’t sound happy.

Victoria: Just wait until she sees us.

Jordan: Is someone there?

[ Banging ] Is someone there? Help me! Help me! I’m locked in here to die like an animal! Please, let me out! Someone help me! Oh! Oh, thank god!

[ Gasping ]

Nikki: Sorry to burst your bubble, jordan, but this isn’t a rescue party. ()

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

Jordan: Get out! Get out!

Nikki: She says that as if she has any power here.

Jordan: Oh. I can take you all.

Nikki: I would advise you not to try anything.

Claire: The three of us could easily take you.

Jordan: Aren’t you suddenly so brave? And you? Bluffing!

[ Jordan laughing ] What kind of sick tea party is this, huh? This is ridiculous.

Claire: Looks like she’s broken a nail. Ooh, several of them.

Victoria: Did she really think she’d be able to claw her way out of here?

Nikki: Guess she’s not as smart as she thinks she is.

Jordan: Stop it. Just stop it.

Nikki: Not much fun being locked up against your will, is it?

Jordan: That’s it? That’s all you got? You merely came to gloat?

Nikki: After all the hell you have put us through, I can’t think of a better way to spend an afternoon. Ladies, who wants to go first?

Victor: Your mother has taken your sister and claire to where jordan is.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Victor: Your mother insisted on confronting jordan. And claire and victoria are with her right now as we speak.

Nick: Dad, are you serious? How is that remotely a good idea?

Victor: I agree with you. I was more than reluctant to give my okay. However, your mother thinks confronting that jordan woman would allow her to reclaim her own strength, allow her to remain sober.

Nick: What about claire and victoria? Why are they there?

Victor: Well, they feel similarly empowered by confronting jordan and showing jordan that she can no longer terrorize them. I don’t like the whole thing.

Nick: Some strong women in this family.

Victor: You can say that again.

Chelsea: I’m not sure if you noticed, but earlier, I mentioned getting help for my own issues. I attempted suicide about a year and a half ago. I was on the roof of a building, standing on a ledge, ready to jump. Convinced it was the only way to escape the pain that had become pretty much unbearable. You know, my own intrusive thoughts, similar to connor’s, I suppose. Uh, the only reason I’m here now is a friend was able to get to me in time. He stopped me. And even though he held me in his arms and told me everything was gonna be okay… I just wanted it all to be over.

Alcott: You sought help?

Chelsea: Yeah. I went to an inpatient facility and I had an amazing therapist. It was really hard at first, you know, digging through years of emotions I had been ignoring pretty much, but, um, eventually it got easier and I’ve been in therapy ever since.

Alcott: What you’ve done takes a great deal of strength. You should be very proud of yourself.

Chelsea: Thanks. I am proud. I am proud, but I have to be honest with you. Yeah, the guilt– the guilt– I’m starting to feel that maybe I… I passed something horrible onto my son. It’s overwhelming.

Adam: Connor, we talked about this, right? The “crazy” word? That is just the ocd talking. Because you, connor newman, you are the greatest kid ever.

Connor: Who’s crazy.

Adam: Buddy–

Connor: Call it what you want. It’s still what it is.

Adam: We’re gonna fix this, okay? And everything is gonna be okay. Can we get back to the room change for a second? Was somebody being a jerk to you? Was someone bullying you, connor?

Connor: No, that’s not it.

Adam: Look, I’m sorry. I’m trying to understand so I can help you.

Connor: It was the room number.

Adam: Okay. It was the room number. Well, your favorite number is seven, or anything that can be divided by seven. Those are your lucky numbers, right?

Connor: My room was 23. Two and three add up to five, and… that’s bad.

Adam: You know what my favorite number is? 21.

Connor: Because of vegas.

Adam: Excuse me?

Connor: You like to gamble.

Adam: Who told you that?

Connor: Johnny overheard his mom and dad talking about it one day. That… you used to live in vegas and liked to play cards.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Well, that– that was another lifetime ago. So, this retreat that dr. Alcott was suggesting, what do you think?

Connor: The hospital for crazy people.

Adam: Connor, that is not what this is. It’s a place where people that know about this kind of stuff, they can get you the help that you need. Wouldn’t that be a relief to not have to worry so much about this?

Connor: You said we didn’t have to decide yet.

Adam: Well, I said that we would talk about it. And that’s what we’re doing right now.

Connor: I don’t wanna go, dad. I’m scared.

Rsv is out there.

Adam: I get moving to a new place can be scary, but your mom and I, we could do everything we can to make it easier for you.

Connor: There’s nothing you can do, so there’s no point.

Adam: I’m sure that we could get the room numbers in advance. I’m sure that wouldn’t be a problem.

Connor: I know where everything is here. I know where everything is at home. But there? I wouldn’t know where anything is. I’ll be alone.

Adam: How? Connor, you would make friends there.

Connor: I don’t have friends here. How would I have friends there?

Adam: It’s gonna be all right, okay?

Connor: Not if I have to go to that place.

Adam: Let’s just see how this all plays out. We’re just starting this whole process. And like you said, you know, no decisions have been made yet. Okay?

Kyle: I’m in total agreement. We find out what we can about claire and her past, and then we go from there.

Summer: Wouldn’t it be nice if she was perfect, though?

Kyle: Yeah. But something to consider is she may not even be interested in the job.

Summer: She did say that she wants to work with children, right?

Kyle: It doesn’t mean she wants to be a nanny. But I still think it’s worth a shot.

Summer: Okay. I’m gonna do some digging, see if I can come up with the parts of the story that victoria didn’t share with us, and we’ll go from there.

Jordan: So that’s why you’re here? You’re here for closure? There will never be any closure. And you better believe that I’m going to come haunt each of you every minute of every day and every night for the rest of your lives.

Victoria: She’s so dramatic.

Claire: She’s always been like that, but it’s a lot less effective than I remember.

Victoria: That’s interesting.

Jordan: Just stop it.

Nikki: You can rant and rave all you want. Your days of terrorizing our family are over.

Jordan: You tell yourself that when you’re all alone, pouring yourself a really tall glass of vodka. Oh! [ Chuckles ] You’re drunk right now, aren’t you? Of course you are. Because it’s the only way you could get yourself ginned up to confront me.

Nikki: I haven’t had a drop in days. You may have stolen my sobriety, but I’ve taken it back.

Victoria: Just like you stole my daughter, but now she’s home where she belongs.

Claire: And like you stole my life, but I’m getting it back with a family that loves me. It’s even better than I could have dreamed.

Jordan: You are all so stupid. Whining, strutting around, worrying about what I did to you, what you deserved. You think that will solve all your problems? Do you really think it’s that easy, nikki? Febreze!

Nikki: Remind me. Which one of us was stupid enough to get tricked into being locked in this basement?

Jordan: Time has given me clarity.

Victoria: Is she for real?

Jordan: You know, for years I have studied you. I’ve seen your arrogance and I predict nothing but tragedy and doom for you. And you! And you, you ungrateful little brat.

Claire: Don’t you dare speak to my daughter like that.

Jordan: Your daughter? Your bouncing baby daughter? Now all grown up and full of just so much hate. What do you think she might do next, huh? Maybe try to kill you again. Maybe this time with success.

Victoria: Well, that was all due to you. To your influence.

Jordan: Whatever you say. You know, I raised her. And I loved her. Do you trust her? Do you, victoria? Because you couldn’t really love her if you don’t trust her. That’s what a mother does.

Claire: You used me.

Jordan: You see how she loathes me? Is that what you want? You better watch out. Because who knows if she will turn on you.

Victoria: There’s nothing you can do or say that would make me doubt my daughter. She has all of my love and trust. Neither of which you understand at all.

Jordan: Well then, welcome her into your home. But I would sleep with one eye open.

Victoria: You’re a monster.

Jordan: No, no, no. I see the world for what it is. Every man, every woman. Just the way I raised claire. Eye on the prize, right, honey? She snowed all of you as nikki’s assistant. Competent, honest, beautiful. Who’s to say that she’s not scamming you right now as the long lost daughter? Until… snap.

Claire: I’ve changed. I’ve gotten help. I know what love and family are now.

Jordan: You understand nothing. How much heart do you have left, huh, victoria? How much heart? I mean, you couldn’t even hold on to a man, could you? Or a house. All you have left is all the newman’s grandeur and the newman name to keep you going.

Nikki: That’s enough out of you. Shut up, bitch.

[ Jordan laughing ]

Jordan: No, no, no, no. You shut up! ‘Cause I know what you really want. All you really want is to run out to a liquor store and find the best bottle of vodka you can find and guzzle it down so all of this will go away.

Nikki: I don’t think so, jordan. Because, you see, I have won. I’ve survived you. I’ve survived your attack on my sobriety. And now, to see you here like this, humiliated, exposing what a miserable human being you are, well, it’s just another reminder that I am much stronger without a drink.

Jordan: I wish you could’ve shared that joy with your poor sponsor, seth. He’s dead because of you.

Nikki: He’s dead because of you! Because you are a serial killer.

Victoria: It’s over. You’ve lost. You can never hurt us again.

Jordan: What a pretty picture.

Nikki: I hope that pretty picture torments you for the rest of your life, because the three of us are bound in love, in strength, something that you could never have any comprehension of. But at least you’ll have plenty of time to think about it, because you will be in prison forever.

Jordan: Oh. Oh, so victor’s not gonna keep me here and feed me spoiled food and the occasional rat?

Nikki: Lady, if I had my way, you’d never leave this hellhole, which quite literally was of your own making. So, I guess the next best thing is to know that you will slowly, oh, so slowly, rot away in your cell.

Jordan: Do you hear that, claire? All I did was do what had to be done. Avenge my sister’s humiliation with the newmans, with their crocodile tears. They can get away with anything with the newman name.

Claire: You’re sick, jordan.

Jordan: And what are you? You think you’re gonna fit right in here? You think that? You’re gonna be just like your new uncle adam. Another black sheep. Another outcast. Only, worse for you, because you’re half howard.

Claire: You can’t get to me anymore. I’m right where I wanna be, where I always belonged.

Jordan: You hateful little backstabber. I hope that selling out to these vipers makes you miserable with every last breath you take.

Victoria: Our family loves and accepts claire completely. She has the love and the home that you stole from her, but you’re just gonna die all alone.

Jordan: Maybe. Or maybe… someone else might die sooner rather than later.

Nikki: What is that?

Jordan: Something you’ve forgotten. That while you’ve been running off your mouth, I’m the one that’s still in charge.

Adam: Hey, you know what? We can go get some pizza. Get a few slices with extra pepperoni.

Connor: I’m not hungry.

Adam: Okay. Well, then… maybe we can hang here. Hmm? We can unpack the bag that I brought for you.

Connor: I told you, you’d do it wrong.

Adam: You could show me.

Connor: I don’t wanna be here.

Adam: What do you mean, you don’t wanna be “here”?

Connor: I hate it.

Adam: Hate what? You hate this room?

Connor: I hate this school. I don’t want to go to that place for crazies dr. Alcott wants to send me to.

Adam: Connor, she thinks that it could help you.

Connor: Maybe nothing can help me.

Adam: Connor, look at me. You’re not alone in this. You know that, right? Your mom and I, we just want what’s best for you. And maybe that’s the residential program. Maybe it’s something else. But whatever it is, we’re gonna be with you every step of the way.

Connor: Do you mean that?

Adam: Of course I mean that.

Connor: Then you won’t make me go to that place. I wanna go home. I’ll be good. I’ll do everything I’m supposed to. Please, dad. Can I come home?

Adam: Absolutely. Absolutely.

Chelsea: Connor is such a sensitive kid. He picks up on my every mood, even more so since my suicide attempt.

Alcott: That’s not unusual.

Chelsea: My actions have already caused him so much pain. I can’t be more of a burden to him. I can’t cause him any more suffering than I already have.

Alcott: It’s important for connor and for you and adam to understand there is no issue of blame involved here.

Chelsea: But how could my child be in so much pain and I didn’t notice? Why were we not more aware?

Alcott: There are probably a collection of reasons, including connor didn’t want you or anyone else to find out what he was going through. What’s important is that he’s getting treatment now, so there is no it’s too late in this scenario.

Chelsea: But what if…

Alcott: Go on.

Chelsea: For years, I acted out to avoid the voices in my head, until eventually, one day, they chased me onto a ledge. Connor says things like he hates himself. He says things like he doesn’t wanna be here, and that he has scary thoughts. And so he counts or he organizes things or he cleans things in order to make them go away. But what if it’s not enough? What if one day, those scary thoughts chase him onto a ledge before we’re able to get him treatment? For people who feel limited

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Chelsea: I’m sorry. I mean, you must think I’m so selfish. I’m not trying to make it about myself. I just, if my issues are at all responsible for what connor’s going through, I–

Alcott: No blame, remember? And what you see as a liability is actually a great asset.

Chelsea: What do you mean?

Alcott: You’ve struggled with mental health. You are especially sensitive to what connor’s needs are and will be. You understand there’s no quick fix, that it’s a process. You’re on the right path.

Chelsea: You really think this residential facility is the best step?

Alcott: The exposure and response prevention treatment is a critical step in helping connor habituate to the uncomfortable feelings that spark his ritualistic behaviors. It’s not an easy process, but it’s a path to managing the disorder. I suggest you make the decision as soon as possible.

Chelsea: Okay, I’ll talk to his father, and I’ll get back to you. Thank you for the talk and answering my questions and holding my hand.

Nick: Hey, you.

Summer: Hi, dad. Thanks for meeting with me.

Nick: Sure.

Summer: Is grandpa here?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Summer: Grandpa.

Victor: There you are. Nice to see you. My goodness.

Summer: You too.

Nick: Did you make that call?

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: Did you get an update?

Victor: Things are being taken care of as we speak.

Nick: Everything’s all right?

Victor: Everything is fine. Please, sweetheart, have a seat. Right.

Summer: Well, I hope I didn’t drag you away from anything too important.

Victor: Not at all. You’re here. My granddaughter. That’s more important. There something you wanna talk about specifically?

Summer: Yeah. I guess I just had a few questions about claire. You see, kyle and I brought harrison to crimson lights earlier today, and we ran into aunt victoria, and claire was with her, and it– it’s just so wild. Everybody thought that she died after she was born, but she’s actually alive and well and living here.

Victor: I know.

Nick: Yeah, it is a hell of a story.

Summer: Thank you. Well, she seemed really great, and harrison adored her right off the bat. We had a nice conversation, but it did kind of seem like aunt victoria didn’t really wanna get into the details of claire’s past, where she’s been all this time. I guess I just wanted to ask, um, what should I know about my new cousin?

Nick: Claire’s backstory is complicated and ugly. Truth is, it’s not going to be as easy for some members of this family to completely welcome claire into this family.

Summer: What exactly went down with claire?

Victor: As part of our family, you need to know the unvarnished truth.

Summer: Claire really was a part in trying to kill all of you?

Victor: She was raised to hate us. And she was used by her aunt as a weapon against us. She’s as much a victim of her aunt as we have been.

Summer: What? That somehow excuses her? Why isn’t claire in prison?

Victor: Because, my lawyer, michael baldwin, saw to it that she be put into a mental institution.

Summer: I saw in the press that claire was in a hospital. That was a psychiatric ward?

Victor: Yeah.

Summer: I knew that aunt victoria wasn’t telling me the whole story, but this, I… I don’t even have any words.

Victor: I know, summer. This is a lot to absorb, okay? But I ask you to give claire the benefit of the doubt, considering all that she has been through.

Summer: What about what she put you through?

Victor: Oh, darling, that’s all in the past, okay? Now, we all need to welcome her into our family.

Summer: Dad? You haven’t said much.

Nick: It’s not as easy for me, given what happened at the lake house.

Summer: No kidding. You were drugged and stabbed.

Nick: It’s not just that. It’s the fact that claire is one of the reasons why mom’s sobriety is destroyed. Every time I look at mom and see her struggling and in pain, I cannot just forgive and forget what happened. Now, for victoria’s sake, I will be civil. I will be kind. I will give claire her chance to prove herself in this family. But it’s gonna take me some time to get over what she and jordan did to my mom.

Victor: I understand your father, summer. But this is on jordan. And trust me, she’s being dealt with… as we speak.

Jordan: As nikki so charmingly put it, this is a hellhole. I should know. I created it. And I am nothing if not thorough. Toxin? More lethal than the one I used at the lake house? You see, my original plan was to capture you and victor here and provide you with the ultimate way out together. But alas, on to plan B.

Nikki: You are beyond evil.

Jordan: I am so sick of your pompous yapping. You think that your money and your name puts you in charge.

Nikki: Oh, please. You are the one with delusions of grandeur, going around claiming that you’re righting wrongs when in reality, your life has been meaningless. I– I can just see it, when you get to prison, begging others to listen to your stories of how when you would stick it to the newman family. And you know what? They’re not gonna listen to you, because they won’t care. You will not be an avenging crusader. You’ll just be another inmate with a number.

[ Jordan laughing ]

Jordan: Nikki, are you really so stupid that you believe that future’s going to happen? That’s not going to happen, because, you see, this is not your ultimate way out. It’s mine. Ta-ta, claire. And you can all just go to hell.

Adam: What? Already?

Adam: Nice. Everyone up for a round of hot chocolate?

Connor: I wanna go up to the apartment.

Adam: What? Already? I mean, I think one of these delicious brownies is calling your name.

Connor: Mom might have changed something in my room. I’ll need to fix it.

Chelsea: No, I didn’t touch anything, sweetheart, I promise.

Connor: Still, I need to.

Chelsea: Oh, connor, can’t we just be together for a little bit?

Connor: We were just in the car together.

Chelsea: True. But, um, sweetie, we have some decisions we need to make. So, um, dr. Alcott highly recommends this erp residential program.

Adam: Hey, you know what? It has been a long day. And maybe we could talk about this later.

Connor: Yeah. I’m tired.

Chelsea: I’m sorry, connor, but we can’t just toss this aside. It’s too important and there are things that we have to handle. Honey, I know that you’re concerned about falling behind in your schoolwork, but we’ll make sure you keep up with the course work while you’re in treatment. Connor, I know this all feels very weird and very scary. The idea of going to a retreat probably freaks you out, but we’re gonna find the right place for you and I promise you’re gonna get better. How does that sound?

Connor: Dad says I don’t have to go if I don’t want to. And I don’T.

Kyle: Well, that took a while. What’d you find out about claire?

Summer: Well, my dad and grandpa had plenty to say. And it’s a good thing that we checked.

Kyle: Uh, okay. That doesn’t sound like good news.

Summer: Bottom line, it would be a colossal mistake for us to let claire look after harrison or be alone with him, ever.

Kyle: How did we get to colossal?

Summer: My cousin is emotionally and– and mentally unstable. Kyle, the things that she’s done, what she’s capable of, I– I can’t even believe that anyone would accept her into the family.

Jordan: No final words for me? The woman who loved you? Who made all these sacrifices for you? Oh…

Claire: What do– what do we do?

Victoria: Maybe we should help her.

Nikki: We didn’t even know there was poison here. We didn’t force her to take it. She swallowed it willingly.

Victoria: Yes, but she swallowed it to avoid justice. Is that what we want?

Claire: After everything jordan’s put us through, everything she’s taken from us, does she deserve to live or die?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Josslyn. What’s wrong? Oh, god. Is it dante? No. Oh. W– it’s dex. He’s not shot or anything. Oh, god. Okay. Hey, what do you need?

[ Voice breaking] I just need my mom. Oh, come here. You got me. You got me. You’re the one person who truly loves me who doesn’t hide parts of themselves from me. Baby, come on. What’s going on? What happened? Dax and I broke up. For good this time.

[ Sniffles ] Oh, come here.

[ Telephone rings ] Yeah. Uh, what? He’s here now. Me specifically? Oh, yeah. By all means, send him in. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Sonny: Hey, sweetheart. Thank you. The coffee at the hospital will kill you. What? You’ve been with dante all morning? Why didn’t you tell me, dad? I would have switched shifts and come to keep you company. Ava was with me. Oh. Good. Okay. So… no changes. Dante’s still on life support. And there’s no sign that he’s going to wake up.

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Exhales sharply ] I got you, I got you. Unless you need me, I’m probably going to head out in a few minutes. Um, no, I think we’re good.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh. How many times does this make? This is chase’s fourth check on dante today, and he’ll be back later if he takes a dinner break. And if not, he’ll sneak in just before lights out. I wish there was something new we could tell him, tell all of them. Dante hasn’t been alone since he was admitted. His friends and family have been here around the clock. Really says a lot about how much he means to people. Yeah. Sure does. Yeah. Here’s this. Thanks. It’s been hard on everyone at the pcpd. Detective falconeri has a lot of fans down there. You need blood, the entire squadron would be here in half an hour. In fact, you can have mine now. Well, that’s good to know. Thank you. Um, question — who are you? Oh, sorry. John cates, fbi. I’m here investigating the shooting in port charles, and I overheard you talking about detective falconeri. Yes, well, you overheard correctly. Detective falconeri is stable, but he’s still unconscious. Oh, great. I’ll pass that on at the station. Uh, before I do, though, I was wondering if we might speak, nurse baldwin, I have a couple of questions. About what? Jason morgan.


You okay? Yeah. I’m good. Thank you. No problem. Your timing was good. I just got home from school. Is anybody gonna be looking for you? No, they’re used to me taking off early. When I was younger, I always used to love coming here because there’s so much room here compared to home. I remember. You — you do? Sure. You were always asking to stay at grandma monica’S. I have patients I have to check on, agent cates. What is it that you need to know? The bureau and the pcpd are still trying to locate jason morgan. See, we believe he’s responsible for shooting dante falconeri at the warehouse and subsequently jumping from a bridge to escape capture. Yes, I’ve seen the news. Of course you have. It’s probably impossible to avoid. But we have yet to locate a body. And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you what kind of damage a jump from that height would do. No, no, you don’T. And so far, you haven’t needed to tell me any of this. Bottom line, you have a child with jason morgan, and I know you two have a history, so I’m sure you can understand if I have to ask you if you’ve heard from jason since the shooting. Well, I haven’T. He hasn’t tried to contact you or anyone else in your family? No. Well, I had to ask. You never know where a person’s loyalties lie. Agent cates, a very good man is lying unconscious in the icu. If jason put him there, I think the only thing that matters is the law, not my loyalties. “If.” You’re still saying

if he’s responsible. Well, I haven’t heard that anything else has been proven yet. And until it is, I think everyone should be saying “if.” Better yet, “allegedly.” You’re right. So let me say this.

If you are lying and if you are harboring a fugitive,

you could be facing federal charges. You know, I just — I just thought high school was gonna be different, new campus, new people, but it’s all the same stuff — sitting around trying not to get caught looking at your phone. When I had a phone. Mom took it ’cause I’m grounded. And now school is more boring than ever. I would have hated every part of that. Yeah. Me too. I mean, there’s parts of me that wish dex lied and just denied everything that nina said. Wait a minute. How was nina involved? She was there. She watched it happen. Nina exposed a side of dex that I didn’t even know existed. And as much as I hate her for it, thank god she did. Now I know. And I still don’t understand how I could love him this much. Okay, it sounds really fresh right now. Maybe you’re gonna have to sit with this for a minute. He was the person that I loved and trusted almost more than anybody else, and he is not the person that I thought he was. All dex had to do was look at me, and I felt loved and safe and respected, and it’s all gone. I don’t even have the illusion of him to hold on to anymore. Josslyn, what happened? What did dex do? Dex was going to kill cyrus because sonny ordered him to. Alright, I’m gonna need you to take some time, and you’re gonna have to get some perspective on this, okay? No amount of perspective changes the fact that dex was going to kill him. Mom, this wasn’t war. This wasn’t self-defense. Cyrus was an old man lying in a hospital room. That is premeditated murder. You know what I keep thinking about? Do you remember that year on christmas eve when dante and I took our skis, we went up to the roof

[Laughing] And we took the skis back and forth like we were trying to make tracks, like — like santa’s sleigh for donna and the kids? Wasn’t that the year that dante twisted his ankle playing hockey? Well, kind of. I mean, that was the — that was the cover story we told you. But really… he slid right off carly’s roof and directly into a pine tree. He had so many pine needles in his hair. Dad, it was crazy. It was like there were thousands. And we — we were just trying to get them out. It took us forever because we couldn’t stop laughing so hard. But he did smell really good after that. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah. When he wakes up, don’t tell him I told you about the pine tree part. I’ll keep it a secret… when he wakes up. When he wakes up. Thank you for seeing me, commissioner. I know you have a lot going on. Oh, it’s alright. Is this to do with sonny? ‘Cause I-I know he’s so distraught about dante, so — it’s, um — it’s actually for me. I’d like to confess to an attempted murder. Of whom? Cyrus renault. You attempted to murder cyrus renault? Yes. On sonny’s orders.


You don’t have a phone,what else do you like to do? Skiing, and I snowboard, too, but I like skiing more. It’s — it’s faster, and the runs are more challenging. Alright, what do you like better, height or speed? Both. I’m, uh — I’m — I’m into dirt biking and mountain biking, too. And I’m gonna take auto shop as an elective next year. You know, fix up my own car someday, put a turbocharger on it. What about sports? You like any of them? Football. I was gonna go out for the freshman team, but my mom wouldn’t sign the stupid waiver ’cause she thought I was gonna get brain damage. Y-you had brain damage, right? Uh, yeah, n-not from playing football. I was in a car accident.

[ Door opens ] Danny. School’s been out for a while. You should probably get up to the house before they send out a search party to look for you. Thought of that. Said I had a lot of homework. What if someone decides to help you with it and finds out you’re not in your room? I guess you’re right. See you later. Yeah. Thanks again. No problem. What’s wrong? Dex was in an impossible situation. He was working for me and michael. He was working for sonny. And when sonny gave him the order to go after cyrus, dex didn’t have a lot of options. Dex could have gone to you and michael. He could have told you what sonny wanted. He could have done a lot of things. He could have gone to the police. Oh, come on. That’s not a realistic option, and you know it. Look, the choices that dex had to make, they may have been deal-breakers for you, but don’t be naive about why he made them. Okay, maybe he didn’t have a choice, but I had a choice, and I chose to be with him over and over again. And if I didn’t know what I know now, I would still be with him like some lovesick, blind idiot. Okay. Come on. I’m willing to bet that dex shared more with you than he has with anyone ever. I just never even considered that the sweet, amazing guy I love could kill someone while they’re helpless. How did I not see it? This isn’t a court-martial, dex. You can have a seat. So, walk me through this. Start at the beginning. Um… I was initially hired by michael corinthos to infiltrate sonny’s organization and gather information and evidence that could incriminate him. Michael hired you for this, did he? He felt that sonny’S… choices, um, caused unnecessary pain and risk to the family. So I’m assuming this is after the whole nixon falls/nina situation, yeah? Michael eventually reconsidered, but he — he — he decided that sending his father to prison would rip the family apart. So he changed the terms of my employment, and he brought his mother into the circle of trust. They, uh — they wanted me to monitor sonny and to give them any information if he were ever in any trouble. What kind of trouble? A situation that he couldn’t handle, he was in over his head. But other than that, I was, uh, supposed to continue working for sonny and follow his orders like any of his other personnel. Well… so, um, before carly and michael tasked you with being sonny’s guardian angel, did you ever get anything incriminating? I did. I had evidence that sonny was moving illegal arms for a company called pikeman. I know dante is technically not a kid, but he’s always gonna be my kid, and he’s got so much more to give to the world and his family. And he will. I can count on — on one hand all the good people in my life, and dante was one of them. Nobody would argue that. If I could be half as good as dante, I’d be very happy. You know, I’ve been through a lot in my life, and I’ve done a lot of things that I should have paid for. Not dante. I should be laying in that bed, not him. Alright, that’s it. Listen, dad, I know that you are sad and you’re scared, and — and those aren’t comfortable emotions for you. But I-I’m not gonna sit here and listen to you denigrate the dad I adore. Look, I know I wasn’t planned. It doesn’t matter whether you were planned. Your mom and i always wanted you. You know that. You just proved my point for me. You have always made me feel loved, always. I’m your dad. That’s my job. And you make it easy. Do I, though? The older I get, the more I reflect, and I realize that you are my anchor. As flighty as I might be, and we both know that’s true, you always keep me grounded. A-and there’s not a single thing I would change about you, imperfections and all. You are the best dad there is. And dante would be the first one to tell you that.


Okay. How are you feeling? I’m fine. Michael already warned me. You could be on fire and say, “I’m fine.” This is important, though. Okay? You lost a lot of blood. So you need to drink a lot of fluids. If you don’t, you could go into hypovolemic shock, and your organs could stop working. Okay. Got it. All done.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sighs ] I know you don’t want to be in this boathouse, but please, please, please don’t push yourself right now, okay? You will not make yourself stronger. You will just use up reserves that have already been severely depleted. And you will set your recovery way back. Okay. Take one now and one every eight hours for the next seven days. Don’t forget. It’s an antibiotic. Don’t miss a dose. Where’d you — don’t ask. You okay? Fine. You don’t seem like it. Michael would do anything for you, which is absolutely his right. And I’m okay risking myself. But involving danny is the worst thing you could have done. Okay, I didn’t — I didn’t seek danny out. He found me. Well, it won’t matter to that fbi agent cates, who’s turning over every rock in port charles looking for you. What do you think will happen if he gets proof that danny helped you? Elizabeth: Hey, there. I didn’t know you were coming by today. I tried a new chocolate chip cookie recipe I got off tiktok. And you need a taste tester? Yeah. Okay, well, not that I’m complaining, but why didn’t you ask jake? He won’t exactly talk to me. I’m a little worried about him. Why? What happened? You know how anytime our families get together, dante’s always the first one to get something fun going, like find a game to play that includes everyone? And he always makes you laugh but in a nice way. He never makes fun of anybody. Yeah, everyone loves him. Well, jake’s convinced, like 100% convinced, that his dad shot dante. When I tried to tell him we didn’t know for sure that jason did it, he slammed his bedroom door in my face. Mm. I had no idea. He hasn’t said anything to me about it. He’s not going to, either. He said he doesn’t want to talk to you about it. Why not? Doesn’t want you to defend jason. John: Daniel morgan? Yeah. Hi. John cates, fbi. I was hoping I could ask you a few questions about your dad. If you remember, sonny beat cyrus up pretty bad. Severe enough to put him in hospital. And then when the police questioned cyrus, he said sonny was responsible. Yeah, he couldn’t have been happy with that. No, so when cyrus said he would press charges, sonny decided that if cyrus were put down, any potential charges against him would go down, too. That’s a little shortsighted, don’t you think? Because if cyrus had died and his death was related in any way to the beating that sonny had inflicted on him, then he could have been found guilty of manslaughter or maybe even second-degree murder. That’s exactly what I tried to tell him. But sonny didn’t see it that way. He, uh — he ordered me to take out cyrus while he was still in the hospital. And I was prepared to do it. How? I was going to inject his picc line with fentanyl. But sonny showed up at the last second and stopped me. Do you know why he reconsidered? No. Okay, dex. You do understand that if you swear to this, you will incriminate yourself, as well as sonny. I do. But I did it. And I prepared to pay for it. I hope that I never disappoint you the way I disappointed your brothers. No matter what you’ve done or think you’ve done, michael and dante will always love you a lot. And so will I. There’s nothing that you could ever do that would make me truly disappointed in you. If there’s even a part of that that’s true, I’m a lucky man. Kristina?


honey, agent cates seems laser-focusedon finding you. He even tried to intimidate elizabeth baldwin by dangling the threat of federal charges in front of her. Elizabeth hasn’t done anything. But now danny has. Willow, I-I never wanted anybody to find me, let alone danny. I would never put him in jeopardy. I know you wouldn’T. I’m gonna make sure not one of you gets implicated, okay? Not michael, not you, not danny. All of you helping me, I’m just gonna make it like it never happened. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. Yuri, I think his name is, he let me in. Yeah, yuri. He’s a — he’s a good guy. Yeah, he seems like it. Listen, I don’t want to keep you, but have you, by any chance, seen your father in the last couple days? No. You haven’t heard from him at all? Like no phone calls or texts or e-mails or… no. You’re sure? ‘Cause it’s really important that I find him. Yeah. I’m sure. See, it’s just that he’s been gone a long time, and now all of a sudden, he’s back, and all you get is radio silence? I mean, you’re his son. Don’t you think that’s weird? Not really.

[ Scoffs ] It’s not like I knew the guy before he was gone. Look, I don’t know why he’s back, but I can tell you it’s not because of me. Brook lynn: Danny, go. Somewhere else. I need to have a word with agent cates. You are a disgrace to your badge. No matter what I say or do, jake gets mad. Okay, he’s not mad at you. He’s mad at the situation. And he doesn’t know what to do with his anger. So it — it just comes out all sideways at you and everyone else he loves. Mostly me. I know, I know, and I’m sorry. And I know it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s — it’s not personal, okay? I promise I will talk to him when I get home. Good luck. Just so you know, we did talk about it when we first found out that jason was back and that he might be responsible for dante’s shooting. I j– I — guess it should have been a bigger conversation. I just didn’t want to make things harder on him. It’s hard already for everyone. Chase: Elizabeth. Aiden. Um, do you have a second? Yeah, sure. Chase. Do you think jake’s dad shot dante? I wish I would have never pressured dex into staying with sonny. Well, dex didn’t put up much of a fight. Baby, that’s because your mother and your brother were pressuring him. Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t know what to believe. I know how things work in sonny’s business. Trust is everything. I never thought he would trust dex enough to give him an assignment like cyrus. Did jason used to kill for sonny? I’m sorry if I’m interrupting. No. Uh…

[ Clears throat ] Dad, this is natalia ramirez, allie’s mom. Oh. Natalia, this is my father, sonny corinthos. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. My daughter talks a lot about your daughter. I’m glad that they found each other. Yes, well, that’s why I’m here. To ask for your help.


Jason never talked about it. But he — he did some things for sonny, yeah. Did some things, like… killed people things? What do you want to hear, josslyn? I want to hear that killing people because they’re inconvenient for sonny is wrong. Of course it’s wrong. Then why are you hesitant? I’m not. I don’t — I don’t want you asking questions that you don’t want to know the answers to. I do want the answers. I’m just not always ready for the ones that I get. That’s because you’re judging everything from the outside. You know, you weren’t in dex’s shoes, and you weren’t in jason’s shoes, for that matter. You don’t know why they made the choices they did. I love jason, too. Okay? But come on. All it takes is sonny pointing at someone and saying, “go,” and that’s it? It’s not that simple. No, it’s never that simple. I trust jason. If jason killed someone, it’s because they were gonna kill him. I don’t think so. I don’t think that it would matter to you if someone was trying to kill jason or not. I think that you would stick beside him no matter what. And I thought that that’s how I felt about dex. But it’s not. So… when I walked into my daughter’s hotel room and found you in her bed… I was shocked. Well, anybody that would walk into their, you know, kid’s hotel room and find somebody in their bed would be shocked. I understand that you were blindsided. But even more so when she told me that you were her girlfriend. Yeah, that was a big step for her and for us, to be open about dating. Well, I-I wasn’t ready for it. And — and obviously, no matter what I said or what I did, it was wrong. And I — and I even knew that at the time, but I-I couldn’t — I couldn’t stop myself. Well, now you know better. You’re gonna do better next time. Yeah, but alison and i already had a next time, and, um… and I, uh — I did not do better. You — you seem to be having a hard time with this. Yeah, wouldn’t every parent? Well, you only worry if — if your kid ends up with somebody that’s not good enough for them. But blaze and kristina are great, and they’re great for each other. Thanks, dad. I think we’re pretty good for each other, too. Was it always this easy for you? Was what this easy? Having a daughter that’s gay and being okay with it. Jason is only a suspect right now. He’s no different than anybody else. He’s innocent until proven guilty. You have to say that. But you’re a cop. Asking you isn’t the same as asking a regular person. Aiden, I — no, it’s okay. I know what he means. My job as a cop is to follow the evidence. And right now the evidence says yes, jason is the one who shot dante. But the evidence also says that he’s the one who called 911, and he tried to give dante first aid. Brook lynn: Thank god yuri called me before you had the chance to whip out your handcuffs. That really would have intimidated danny, which is exactly what you were hoping to do, isn’t it? No. I just wanted to ask him a few questions. I’m sorry if yuri disturbed you. You disturb me. Your unprofessional conduct disturbs me. Yuri told me how you barged in here to — to talk to a poor minor child without his parent or guardian present. Well, you can tell yuri that is not illegal. No, it’s just lower than dirt. And I don’t need to school yuri on state or federal law. He’s familiar with them both. You made the wrong assumption and confused his accent for ignorance. I didn’t mean anything by the comment. Yeah, you did. And at the moment, the only truly ignorant person in this house is you. Look, I’m sorry if we got off on the wrong foot. Just to be clear, I didn’t come here to arrest danny, and I didn’t know he was gonna be alone. Didn’t stop you, though, did it, from talking to a minor child about a father who he hasn’t seen in years, a father he thought was dead. What’s wrong with you? Jason morgan is a suspect in multiple shootings. But you’re right. I went too far. You know what? You should just stop talking and leave before you give me any more reasons to sue. And trust me, I’ve got plenty. And if it were up to me, you’d lose your impressive fbi badge. But since it’s not, I will just have to make sure you got to work real hard to keep it. I am sorry. Truly. If you would, please apologize to danny and yuri on my behalf. It’s okay, danny. You can come out now. Do you have any proof of this attempt on cyrus’s life? No, but, um, cyrus was rightly suspicious when he woke up and I was in his room, so he could be a witness. And — and nina reeves also saw me, and she — no, she’s not gonna testify. Cyrus might be willing to, but then he couldn’t truthfully testify about your intention. So his testimony wouldn’t amount to anything. The most we could get would be conspiracy. And then it would be your word against sonny’S. That’s it? No. Sonny would also have you killed. Dex, this isn’t the first time a situation like this has come up, and I know from experience that I wish I didn’t have… prosecution will go nowhere, and it will cost you your life. I’m willing to risk it. No. I’m not. That is why… this conversation never happened. Look at me. Do you understand? Yeah. Okay. Justice may not have been served this time, but I really appreciate you coming in and trying. Commissioner. If you ever need any help taking sonny down… keep me in mind.


You were awesome. Thank you. You don’t need to thank me, okay? You just need to promise me that you are never gonna talk to the cops again without a lawyer present. Prison is full of people who talk their way in there because they didn’t wait for their lawyer. Grandma alexis isn’t a lawyer anymore. So should I call diane miller? You’re a quartermaine. You got plenty of lawyers. But they’re no good to you unless you use them. So give me your phone. I don’t have a phone, remember? My mom confiscated it. Then I’m gonna have to do something really old-fashioned. Okay. Gonna have to write down the elq attorney’s number. Okay? Here. Take this. Commit it to memory. And do yourself a favor and practice the quartermaine code. Okay, that means be polite, but do not freestyle with the cops, no matter how friendly they seem. Unless, of course, that cop is chase. Well, with any luck, you’ll be able to move around in a day or two. Any idea where you’ll go and what you’ll do? Not sure yet. I just got to figure out what will cause the least harm to all of you. Especially danny. What are you gonna tell jake? The truth. If jason did this, he’s gonna have to face the consequences. This is not a reflection on jake. Jake will just say, “I know.” Trust me, it’s not gonna make him feel any better. This — this situation, I-it’s — it’s terrible. And I think — I think feeling sad is the right way to feel about it. And I know that jake feels awful about what happened to dante. But it’s not his fault just because he’s jason’s son. If jason did, in fact, shoot dante, then he alone is gonna have to carry that guilt. I am not gonna let the weight of jason’s sins crush jake. I respect your decision. You looked at dex with clear eyes, and you saw things you weren’t willing to compromise on. I just never thought that there was anything that would make me not want to be with him. Baby, unless you’re talking about your kids, there’s no such thing as unconditional love. There’s always conditions. And you found yours. Yeah, I guess. I don’t know. Maybe I could have made it work, though. Maybe. And then you would have sacrificed a part of yourself. And then you would have hated yourself, and then you would have resented dex and hated him. So, I mean, as far as I’m concerned, you spared both of you a lot of misery. Yeah. In my gut, it was the right thing to do. Yeah. But even doing the right thing isn’t always easy. Kristina’s always been her own person. Ever since she could talk, she had an opinion, and it was amazing to me how, you know, she was so young, she was so intelligent and interesting. And then when she grew up, I could see pieces of her mother and me in her, and I kind of had an idea what she was gonna be like. Now, there were a couple things that I was right on. We all want certain things for our kids, but we can’t make them be what we want them to be. It’s their life. They have to make their decision to become who they want to be. You’re very fortunate to have this man as your dad. I know. I’ve always known that my dad loves me no matter what. And it’s always made me feel really safe, like I could do anything. And I really wish that allie had that with you.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] I owe you a drink.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

At home, Eric tells Sloan that he thinks he got Jude to sleep. Sloan comments that he said that 10 minutes ago. Eric responds that if he wakes up again, he’ll take him over to John and Marlena’s and put Brady to work as the Godfather. Sloan thought he hadn’t asked Brady to be Godfather yet. Eric confirms he hasn’t, but thinks now might be a good time to do so. Sloan knows how tradition is so important to the Bradys, so she asks what Eric thinks about moving the Christening reception back to the Brady Pub where it was originally to be held. Eric says they already talked about this but Sloan says she had time to think and worried that Roman might feel slighted if he’s not able to give his grandson the reception. Eric points out that Nicole is really excited about hosting it at the DiMera Mansion. Eric assures that Roman will understand. Sloan questions if he won’t be hurt. Eric asks if this is about keeping the celebration in the family or keeping Nicole out of it?

John goes home and tells Steve and Marlena that he can’t believe that Steve told Marlena that he killed Konstantin’s daughter. John questions Steve knowing all these years, but when he asked him, he lied to his face and went behind his back to tell his wife. John asks Steve if he was ever going to tell him.

Harris goes to see Ava, who questions him not following bed rest and asks where he was as he had her worried. Harris responds that he just had some things to take care of.

Stefan emerges from the tunnels of the DiMera Mansion to the living room and asks EJ what’s going on. EJ informs him that Harris was just there asking for him. Stefan asks what he said. EJ says since Stefan failed to neutralize Clyde, who just escaped from prison, he safely infers that Stefan is no longer of any use to Harris. EJ adds that Harris also told him that Stefan shot him in cold blood and he demanded justice be served for his attempted murder. Stefan asks if EJ is still going to help him out, reminding him that they made a deal. EJ tells him not to worry since he can’t wait to get rid of him, so he is going to help him. EJ declares that tonight will be Stefan’s last night as a DiMera and tells him to make the most of it. EJ hands Stefan a drink and toasts to that, calling it exciting.

Sloan argues that Eric already knows how she feels about Nicole and doesn’t understand why Eric told Nicole that she could throw the Christening party for a child she stole. Eric argues that Nicole was out of her mind and has apologized which they accepted. Eric adds that Holly is like a daughter to him and thinks of Jude as a brother, so he thinks it’s important for her to feel like a part of this. Sloan questions if this is about Holly or Nicole. They are interrupted by a knock at the door as Brady arrives. Brady hopes he’s not interrupting. Sloan says she was just leaving, tells Eric to have a good night and storms out.

John calls it ironic that after all these years, Konstantin of all people is the one who finally told him the truth. Marlena explains that Steve was afraid how John would react to the truth. John states that he took the life of an innocent young woman and asks how he’s supposed to react to that. Steve argues that it might not be the whole truth as Konstantin doesn’t know any more than they do. John argues that this woman was a real person and somebody’s daughter, but he killed her.

Ava asks Harris what he had to take care of and if everything is alright. Harris asks when she last saw or spoke with Stefan. Ava says she doesn’t know as she’s been so focused on Tripp. Ava guesses it was a few days ago when Harris woke up at the hospital and asks why. Harris says he wanted to have a chat with him about Clyde, but Stefan is nowhere to be found.

EJ informs Stefan that he is all set to depart and he has arranged him a flight tomorrow morning with a new passport, so he will assume his new identity and be on his way. Stefan didn’t think it would move so fast. EJ reminds him that Clyde wanted him to off Harris while Harris wanted him to take out Clyde and since he failed both, his only options are prison, death, or North Korea. Stefan asks if that’s a joke. EJ says he’s dead serious as he told Stefan that he would get him to a country that doesn’t have a treaty with the US, he just didn’t say which one. Stefan calls that nuts and argues that EJ said he would help him, not send him to a warzone. EJ asks if he would prefer Afghanistan or Siberia.

Ava tells Harris that it is odd that she hasn’t heard from Stefan and asks if Harris thinks he had something to do with Clyde’s escape. Harris talks about Clyde putting the screws to Stefan by threatening Gabi and that Stefan is crazy about her. Harris thinks Ava might even be surprised by the lengths Stefan would go to protect Gabi.

Stefan argues with EJ that this is not what they agreed to. EJ disagrees. Stefan asks how he’s supposed to navigate these places when he doesn’t speak Russian or Korean. Stefan complains that he lost four years of his life thanks to EJ. EJ says if Stefan doesn’t want to be sent to a safer location, he’s free to do that. Stefan argues that he’s trusting EJ with his life. EJ remarks that Stefano always said starting over builds character.

Sloan walks through the town square and finds Leo passed out at a table, so she wakes him up. Sloan asks if he partied too hard on St. Patrick’s Day. Leo complains about her talking too loud and her perfume. Leo thinks Roman was trying to do him in last night with whiskey and green beer. Sloan suggests he not go drinking on her dime. Leo responds that it’s his dime now and suggests she show more consideration for someone feeling weakness. Leo adds that if Sloan did less drinking herself, his weekly allowance wouldn’t be due so quickly.

Brady asks Eric if he’s sure it’s a good time since Sloan didn’t seem too thrilled. Eric says she’s just exhausted as it took awhile to get Jude down and he didn’t sleep well last night. Eric talks about the Christening being the day after tomorrow. Brady assures that he wouldn’t miss it. Eric then asks Brady to do them the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says he’s honored to be asked but says no, he can’t do that.

Marlena tells John not to torture himself, insisting that he’s a wonderful man. John calls himself a killing machine and declares that he can’t live with himself anymore. John announces he’s going to turn himself in to the authorities.

Ava asks Harris why Stefan would help Clyde when he despises him. Harris repeats that he’s crazy about his wife. Harris suggests Ava reach out to Stefan. Ava says she has called and texted but he never responded. Ava tells Harris that he can’t be running all over town like an action hero. Ava decides she’s taking Harris to bed, no arguments.

EJ suggests Stefan take only a few changes of clothes and a toothbrush but nothing more. Stefan jokes about packing all his belongings. Stefan says he would at least like to say goodbye to his wife before he goes. EJ says sure if he would like to say goodbye to his life as well. EJ reminds Stefan of the power Clyde’s network wields at prison and warns that he’ll be taken out if he steps foot there. EJ tells Stefan that he’ll gladly put the knife through Gabi’s heart on his behalf. Stefan calls him a sadistic son of a bitch. EJ warns him about the name calling since Stefan’s life is in his hands. Stefan asks what he will tell Gabi. EJ says he will tell her that Stefan went to start his happily ever after without her and he’s sure she will do the same at her earliest opportunity, unless she already has. Stefan asks EJ to tell Gabi that he loves her. Stefan says he doesn’t care about anything else but that. EJ says no and then tells Stefan that a car will meet him at the end of the tunnel before dawn. EJ hopes Stefan isn’t claustrophobic, because it’s safest for him to ride in the trunk.

Sloan gives Leo a check and remarks that she knows how to stick to a budget. Leo remarks that he was in the red because of a suit he bought for Jude’s Christening. Leo says he and Jude have a very special connection since he brought him in to the world. Sloan demands Leo return that suit because he’s not coming to Jude’s Christening.

Eric questions Brady turning down being Jude’s Godfather. Brady says it’s an honor to be asked but he doesn’t think he should be involved with any titles that have the word father in them because he screwed up with his own kids. Eric asks what he’s talking about as he calls him a great father. Brady questions that, pointing out that he has his son in a halfway house and a daughter that doesn’t care if she sees him because he hardly ever sees her. Eric argues that’s only because of Kristen messing with Rachel’s head. Brady says Kristen was only able to do that because he messed up and made mistakes. Brady then informs Eric about Tate breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion to see Holly, leading to EJ slapping a restraining order against him. Brady knows Tate is in love and feels he would probably do the same thing at his age because it’s genetic. Brady declares that history has shown that if there’s a mistake to be made, he’s going to make it and his kids are just taking after their father.

Marlena questions what John will say when he turns himself in. Steve argues that they are talking about something that happened decades ago, that John doesn’t remember and no one actually saw. John complains that he tried to convince himself that he was one of the good guys. John says he knew Yo Ling tried to create him in his own image when he trained him to be an assassin. John adds that if he killed people as The Pawn, he told himself that they were probably the bad guys anyway but taking the life of an innocent girl proves that he’s no better than Yo Ling was and he’s a monster just like he was.

Stefan tells EJ that he can’t do this and there’s got to be another way. Stefan argues that EJ could offer him a deal. EJ questions letting him off for attempted murder when there’s plenty of evidence against him and says he would lose his job. Stefan complains that EJ is taking over the DiMera empire and questions why the hell he would want a government job anyway. EJ declares that amassing power is the DiMera’s raison d’etre and Stefan knows that better than he does. EJ adds that Stefan threw that all away when he shot a cop. Stefan blames EJ not helping him when he asked. EJ argues that Stefan makes one calamitous decision after another including one that almost cost his stepdaughter her life, so he should be grateful that he’s even helping him. Stefan shouts that EJ is only helping himself to everything that is rightfully his. EJ reminds Stefan that this was his own idea. Stefan points at the portrait of Stefano and remarks that he’s sure he’d be flipping in his grave right now, mortified that one of his sons could betray another. EJ calls Stefan so wrong because they both know that if Stefano was mortified by this current turn of events, it would be because one of his sons has proven himself to be an absolute failure and complete embarassment of the DiMera name. EJ declares that Stefano would be so proud of him for making sure that stain is banished.

Ava feels Harris and worries about a possible fever if he’s overdoing it but Harris assures that he’s fine and jokes that he’s just hot for her.

Leo tells Sloan that he is going to Jude’s Christening because Eric invited him and since he delivered the baby, he has a special place in his heart. Leo thinks it’s reasonable for him to want to be there. Sloan question why he wants to be there so bad. Leo says he just explained it and repeats that he and Jude have a special connection. Leo calls himself Jude’s fairy godmother. Sloan bets Jude’s real Godfather will have something to say about that.

Eric tries to convince Brady and asks if he wants Leo Stark to be Jude’s Godfather which Brady questions. Eric calls it a long story that he doesn’t fully understand, but Leo pretty much appointed himself to the job. Brady calls that creepy but insists that Eric will find another willing candidate besides him. Eric argues that he doesn’t want anyone else. Eric says Brady is his brother and he loves him. Eric knows Brady would do anything for his kids. Eric asks Brady again to do him the honor of being Jude’s Godfather. Brady decides that he knows Eric won’t back down from this so he agrees to do it. Eric thanks him as they hug.

Marlena tells John that she knows all too well the guilt that she felt for doing unthinkable and unspeakable things. Marlena knows how difficult it was to forgive herself even though what was done was out of her own control. Marlena adds that what helped her was John’s kindness, support, and empathy which is what he needs now. Marlena says the man John is today would never do anything like that but John tells her that she’s wrong as he reveals that just last week, he helped Clyde Weston break out of prison. Steve explains that they had no choice as it was either help Clyde escape or let Tripp and Wendy die. Steve adds that they had no intention of just letting Clyde go and if they hadn’t put their trust in Ava, Clyde wouldn’t be running free. John tells Marlena that he’s sorry that he had to burden her with more knowledge about what he did. Marlena says she’s relieved to know what they have been through. John adds that if anyone else gets killed with Clyde out there, that’s on him too. John feels he at least needs to go apologize to Konstantin for everything including the accusations. Steve argues that it’s true that Konstantin is trying to fleece Maggie but John declares that Konstantin is a grieving father and he’s the reason for that. John states that if anyone did that to his daughter Belle, he would hunt them down and kill them.

Brady tells Eric that Sloan thinks Tate should plead guilty because there’s no way to prove that the drugs were Holly’s unless she admits it. Eric asks if Brady thinks Holly knows more than what she’s saying. Brady mentions talking to Sarah about memory loss in coma patients but Tate told him that Holly was using drugs for weeks before she overdosed and says she’s got to remember that. Brady feels that unless Holly comes clean, everyone’s going to believe Tate pushed the drugs on Holly and he will keep paying for a crime he didn’t commit.

Leo questions Sloan as to who Jude’s Godfather is. Sloan informs him that Eric is asking Brady tonight. Leo argues that Brady hasn’t accepted yet and that Eric must be procrastinating by waiting until the last minute. Sloan argues that it was all up to their schedules. Leo says he’ll make sure Jude’s picture ends up in the Spectator but Sloan refuses to let him use Jude as an attempt to humanize himself. Leo reminds Sloan that if it wasn’t for him, Jude wouldn’t be in her life. Leo brings up Melinda being the Godmother while he gets nothing. Sloan says that’s because Melinda didn’t try to blackmail her. Leo insists upon having a special connection with Jude. Leo asks if it’s so hard to believe that he actually cares about the kid and assures that he does because he’s been a part of his life since he was born. Leo doesn’t think it’s too much to ask to have a ringside seat to one of the most important moments of Jude’s life.

Ava and Harris kiss. Ava jokes that she’s pretty sure this is not what the doctor meant by bed rest but Harris says it’s exactly what the doctor ordered as they continue kissing.

Stefan tells EJ that they never discussed specifics as far as living arrangements and expenses. EJ says he’s sure he’ll figure it out. Stefan decides it doesn’t matter since he’ll be miserable where ever he is without Gabi which EJ mocks. EJ says if it’s any comfort to him, if Gabi ever gets out of prison, he will let her know where Stefan is so they can wallow together in misery. EJ suggests Stefan get back in to the tunnels before anybody sees him.

Sloan tells Leo that it is too much to ask and warns him about showing up uninvited. Leo threatens that if she throws him out, he’ll have to announce to all in attendance that Sloan stole Jude from Nicole. Leo tells Sloan he will see her at the Christening and walks away.

Eric knows Brady wants to believe Tate and he does too, but maybe Holly isn’t lying and is just confused. Brady knows Eric loves Holly and he does too. Brady understands Holly doesn’t want her parents to think she’s using but she’s putting that ahead of his son’s freedom. Brady asks what Eric is thinking. Eric informs him that he talked to Holly the other day and felt like she might be hiding something but he didn’t want to push too hard. Eric promises to talk to her again. Brady says he’d be grateful for anything he could do. Eric declares it’s all about family and he knows Brady would do the same for Jude.

Steve tells John that he’s so sorry for not telling him about what happened in Aria with Konstantin and his daughter, but he blocked it out himself for a long time. Steve repeats that he didn’t know how John would react. John thinks Steve knew exactly how he would react. Marlena decides no more talk about John turning himself in until he’s had time to really think about it. Marlena tells John not to forget that she loves him.

Ava and Harris lay in bed together. Ava asks if he’s sure this is what the doctor ordered. Harris jokes that he might need a refill of this prescription as they kiss. They say they missed each other. Ava then thinks back to when she had sex with Stefan. Ava decides she will go get Harris his pain meds and she will be right back. Ava exits the bedroom and then Stefan arrives at the front door, saying he needs to talk to her as he needs her help. Ava tells him it’s not a good time and he needs to go but Harris comes out of the bedroom and acknowledges Stefan as his would-be assassin. Harris declares that Stefan is not going anywhere, leaving Ava confused in between them.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Okay, well, I have a better idea. How about you tell us what’s going on? There’s probably a lot going on in your head right now, and it can be stressful, but your mom and I, we’re ready to listen. So whatever you wanna say.

Connor: I hate this. I hate the doctor. I hate being here. I hate myself.

Chelsea: Connor, don’t say that. It hurts my heart to hear you talk that way about yourself. Don’t you know you are the most lovable boy on this earth?

Adam: To mom and to me. You’re upset and we totally understand, but you don’t mean what you said, right? That you hate yourself? We say things sometimes when we’re angry and we’re frustrated. Connor, believe me. I know how you feel. There have been a lot of times in my life where I’m angry and I’m frustrated because things aren’t the way that I want them to be, and there’s nothing that I can do about it. Everything is just out of my control. But things got better for me, and they’re gonna get better for you, too. Look, I understand why you don’t wanna be here. It feels weird coming to a stranger for help about this thing that we just learned about just a little while ago. But this is gonna help you. It’s gonna help all of us, and we’re gonna get through it together. Your mom and I, we’re gonna do anything, and we’re gonna do everything to give you the best life.

Billy: Yeah, no, the numbers just came in. I’ll take a look at them as soon as I get back to the office. Okay, great. Um, I, uh… yeah. Yeah, no, that works. Um, listen, I’m gonna take off here soon, so I’ll let you know if I have any questions or updates, all right? Okay, thanks. Ashley. Hi.

Ashley: Hey, bro. What’s up?

Billy: Hey, sis. Everything okay?

Victor: Well, jordan thought she had me right where she wanted me. Overconfident as always.

Nikki: But you turned the tables on her.

Victor: Yeah, but to be honest with you, I couldn’t have done it without nicholas. His help was invaluable. You should’ve seen the look of horror on that woman’s face when she realized she had been had. I love it.

Nikki: I’m just so glad this is over and nobody was hurt. I mean, when I think of the risk you took, you realize this could have turned out very differently.

Victor: I’m protecting my family. Obviously I’m gonna take a risk. No big deal. Worked out. Here I am. And she can no longer hurt us.

Nikki: And I am so grateful for that. She is the devil, and now she is suffering in a hell of her own making. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving person.

Victoria: It’s been very exciting for claire to meet her relatives.

Summer: That’s amazing. I can’t believe that grandpa and granddad haven’t at least had a family dinner yet.

Victoria: Uh, well, things have been a little hectic.

Kyle: That’s to be expected when you get your own personal miracle.

Victoria: I’m just grateful for every minute that I get to spend with my daughter. The ball is out and there’s a pile-up.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Summer: Well, I’ve been so looking forward to meeting you, but I got to admit, I feel kind of out of the loop. I mean, I have no idea how all of this happened.

Victoria: It’s complicated.

Claire: Yeah.

Victoria: Well, we’ve been waiting to share the details for when we were ready. Years ago, after cole and I… well, we thought we lost our daughter after she was born, but as it turns out, we were deceived by someone intentionally. And claire was alive all of these years.

Summer: And you had no idea that someone…

Victoria: No, none. If we had known that things were not as they seemed, we would’ve never stopped looking for her. But lucky for us, claire was determined to find her parents, and after years of looking and research, she found us. So, we did a dna test, and needless to say, it was a match. I mean, it’s taken a little while for us to acclimate to all of this, but now we get to move forward as a family.

Kyle: So, the person who did this is still–

Victoria: That person does not deserve any more of our attention.

Kyle: Fair enough. The story I recently read said you were released from the hospital. You’re okay, aren’t you?

Claire: Yeah, I’m fine now, thank you. Um, it’s just been a lot to process. Your family has been so–

Victoria: Our family.

Claire: Our family has been so supportive.

Summer: Wow. I mean, this is just so incredible, and I’m really happy for you both, but why do I get the feeling that there’s more to the story that you aren’t telling us?

Victoria: Well, there are some specifics that we should probably save for another time.

Harrison: Why’d everybody stop talking?

Claire: Hey, harrison, how many marshmallows do you have?

Harrison: One, two, three, four. I have four.

Claire: You got four? I only got two. That’s not fair. I love marshmallows. Hey, I got cheated. What’s up with that?

Nikki: I can only imagine how desperate and frightened jordan must feel. Locked up in a room, cut off from the rest of the world.

Victor: You got that right.

Nikki: What am I saying? I don’t have to imagine it. I know exactly how she feels. I lived it, thanks to her. And now she’s living it, thanks to you.

Victor: You know… it’s absolutely amazing how sick that woman is. She has no– no problem imprisoning and torturing people that she considers enemies.

Nikki: I can only hope that she is feeling every bit of the terror that I did when I was her prisoner.

Victor: This is poetic justice, considering what that woman has done to our family, and especially to you.

Nikki: Prison is too good for her.

Victor: Much too good.

Nikki: Well, that is still your plan, right?

Victor: Oh, yeah. She’s gonna pay for what she’s done. She’s really gonna pay for it.

Nikki: Well, I certainly hope so. But before the authorities arrest her, I need to see her.

Victor: That’s ridiculous.

Nikki: I want to confront her for the last time, face to face.

Chelsea: Hey, connor, I pulled up some highlights from that soccer match we were talking about. You wanna see? He was like this since before we got here. Quiet, nervous. I did everything I could to calm him down, tell him everything was gonna be okay, that these sessions with dr. Alcott will help him learn to control things. But he doesn’t wanna listen to anything I have to say.

Connor: I can hear you, you know.

Adam: Yeah, well, that’s fine. We’re not trying to hide anything from you. All we’re trying to do is to help figure out what’s going on with you.

Connor: Why don’t you ask me? I can tell you. We just get out of here. That would help. Can we please just do that? Can we go now?

Chelsea: Connor, I’m sorry, but this is too important. I thought you felt safe here. That’s what you told billy last time. I mean, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?

Connor: All she’s gonna do is talk. She’ll ask me more questions, but it’s not like it’ll help.

Chelsea: It might feel like that right now, but these things just take time.

Connor: How much time? Because all I know is that I hate this.

Adam: I mean, he has a point. I mean, maybe we should listen to our son. Would it be that horrible if we canceled today’s session? I mean, if he’s not in the mood to talk to anybody, we’re gonna be wasting everyone’s time.

Chelsea: Adam, no.

Adam: Look, the kid deserves to feel like he has some control over his life. I mean, we could go see a movie or something, and we can pick this up tomorrow.

Chelsea: What kind of precedent would that set? No. Adam, connor needs this. We all do. Right now, not later, not when he feels like it, not when you feel like it.

Adam: Okay, this isn’t about me.

Chelsea: That’s exactly right. This isn’t about you.

Alcott: Chelsea, adam, connor, good to see you. We ready?

Connor: Mom, dad, please. Please.

Chelsea: Connor, I’m sorry, but this is too important, okay? We’re here. The doctor is ready to see us. It’s all part of the plan, so we can help you get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it right this second.

Adam: I’m with mom on this. We can go see a movie after, okay?

Connor: Okay.

Adam: And I will be joining the session today because I think this situation needs both parents there.

Ashley: Everything’s good. Why wouldn’t it be?

Billy: I mean, I don’t know. You’ve hit a few rough spots lately. I’m your brother. I’m concerned about you.

Ashley: Yeah. No. That’s sweet, but, you know, I have everything under control.

Billy: Okay. So, does that mean tucker is fully and completely out of your system?

Ashley: He’s such a jerk, isn’t he? I’m so totally over him. So is… everything good. It’s all good. It’s all– it’s all good.

Billy: No, please, finish. You were gonna finish that sentence. And so is who? Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

she wished there was a way to

make it last longer.

Ashley: I’m saying that I am over tucker. I mean, he’s gross, isn’t he? So the family’s over him, and you’re over tucker, right? I mean, because if you’re not, you should be, right? I mean, good riddance.

Billy: Yeah, no, I’m– I’m over tucker. The family’s been over tucker for a very long time. He’s nothing but trouble and lies. But I know that it’s been a little bit more challenging for you to move on. Maybe you… maybe you have a handle on that now.

Ashley: Mm-hmm. It wasn’t easy. I did it. I did it.

Billy: Ash, what’s going on? You… you don’t really sound like yourself.

Alcott: So, how are you feeling today, connor?

Connor: Fine.

Alcott: How do you feel about what we talked about last time, getting a name for what you’re going through? Does it help you understand what’s happening?

Connor: I don’t wanna talk about it. I don’t even wanna be here.

Chelsea: Connor, why don’t you tell dr. Alcott what you said in the waiting room?

Adam: Yeah, connor, you can talk to the doctor about your feelings.

Connor: What’s the point?

Adam: Because the doctor knows things that we don’t about how to deal with the emotions, like what you were saying about yourself.

Chelsea: And that you wanted to leave instead of have your session? Don’t worry. I’m sure she won’t be offended. Connor, we all know that this is hard. Can you just stop doing that for a second and focus on the conversation, please?

Connor: You just don’t get it, do you? None of you understand.

Alcott: Chelsea, let me caution you not to look at connor’s preoccupation with his hoodie strings as something that he’s doing, but something that manifests because of the ocd. It’s important that we view ocd as a separate entity. That will help us work out the tools that connor needs to deal with it.

Adam: Oh, okay. Well, finally, something practical that we can do. What are these tools that you’re talking about? I mean, please, tell us what we can do to help connor beat this thing.

Victor: I think it’s a horrible idea that you want to go see her and confront her.

Nikki: I don’t wanna wait for jordan to be in a courtroom or some prison waiting room. I wanna confront her in a place where I know she will be feeling completely vulnerable and at my mercy, just exactly like what she did to me.

Victor: Well, why don’t you just let her, you know, suffer the fate that obviously has befallen her?

Nikki: Victor, she’s caught. She’s locked up. She can’t do anything to hurt me now.

Victor: What’s the purpose of this? What do you wanna do?

Nikki: Don’t worry. I’m not going to strangle her, as tempting as that might be.

Victor: Sweetheart, there’s some other concerns I have.

Nikki: What are they?

Victor: I do not want this to be a trigger for you to start drinking again.

Nikki: Oh, darling, no, don’t you see? This could give me the strength to stay sober. This is my opportunity to reclaim my power. I mean, this is the moment that I can start to move on and put this nightmare behind me. I need to do it.

Summer: Claire, this must be so shocking and new for you.

Kyle: It’s quite the family to suddenly fall into.

Summer: She couldn’t have fallen into a more loyal and loving family.

Claire: Yeah, everyone’s so brilliant and strong and so loving. My new family has been more amazing than I ever could’ve dreamed.

Victoria: I can’t tell you how happy it makes me feel to hear you say that.

Kyle: So tell me, what are your plans? Are you gonna stick around genoa city and get to know everyone?

Summer: Oh, I hope so. We’ve got a lifetime of catching up to do.

Kyle: Perhaps you’ll go back to work as nikki’s assistant or maybe another job at newman enterprises.

Summer: All newmans are required to return there at least a few times in their career. It’s kind of like a home base.

Victoria: Generally, that’s true, but it’s totally up to claire. Whatever you want. No pressure, of course.

Claire: Uh, yeah. I’m still figuring everything out. I had a really good conversation with nikki earlier. She knows how much I would love to work with children. I find their inquisitive minds fascinating. So, maybe I’ll try to find something in that field.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victoria: It’s dad. He wants me to come back to the ranch.

Claire: Is everything okay?

Victoria: I think we should go now. Just in case. Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Alcott: I understand you’re anxious to help your son, but it’s important for you to know that we need to set expectations here. It’s very important that you know that there is no miracle cure, so we won’t be speaking in terms of beating this.

Adam: So, you’re saying that nothing can be done for connor? What are we even doing here, then, if that is the case?

Alcott: What we do is treat the disorder. We bring all the symptoms under control so they’re manageable.

Chelsea: Okay. Okay, well, that’s good. That sounds less stressful, less painful. So, um, what are things that we can do to help him?

Alcott: Well, one of the most successful forms of treatment is residential therapy.

Adam: Okay, and what is that?

Chelsea: How does that work?

Alcott: Connor is introduced to a safe, nurturing, controlled environment for therapy and erp.

Chelsea: Erp?

Alcott: Yes, exposure and response prevention. The exposure part refers to connor practicing confronting the images, the thoughts, the objects, and the situations that make him anxious and or trigger his obsessions. Facing it head on instead of hiding from it or pretending it doesn’t exist.

Chelsea: In other words, if you identify and recognize the cause of the behavior, you can begin to fix it?

Alcott: That’s right. That’s the response prevention part of erp. Once you’ve trained yourself to identify the triggering events when they happen, then you can learn the ways not to do the compulsive behavior. Of course, this is done under the guidance of a therapist in the beginning, but soon, you and connor will learn to do your own erp exercises to manage the symptoms. And in time, the treatment retrains the brain so the object of the obsession isn’t a threat.

Adam: Okay, so you’re saying that we intentionally expose him to the things that make him anxious?

Alcott: I know. This may sound counterintuitive, but you’ll be working with a trained erp doctor and you’ll devise a plan for the exposure. Then that therapist will coach connor through the confrontation, helping him to find ways to resist the urge to do the compulsive behavior.

Chelsea: Okay. Um, well, that makes sense.

Adam: And this works?

Alcott: It has been proven to be successful and very effective for patients with ocd like connor. And it’s done in the same type of school that he’s already in.

Connor: Except that it’s not a school, is it? It’s a hospital for sick people.

Ashley: I don’t know. I don’t sound like myself? Then… then, who do I sound like?

Billy: I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on, but you don’t really sound like yourself, especially the way you’re talking about tucker.

Ashley: Wait. So… I’m not supposed to feel my feelings? Because I am my own person.

Billy: I get that. You always have been, and I don’t expect that to change. But look… ash, breakups are hard. I get that, okay? And this one in particular was pretty rough on you, but you don’t have to cover up for me.

Ashley: I’m okay. I told you that, all right? I’m okay.

Billy: Just like that?

Ashley: Yes.

Billy: All of a sudden, you’re fine. Okay, well, you’ve never called me bro in your entire life, okay? That’s never come out of your mouth. Bro.

Ashley: I was trying to be cool. Oh, epic fail. That was a grand miscalculation I just made.

[ Phone chiming ]

Billy: I gotta take off. I have a board meeting at chancellor-winters. You know how those go.

Ashley: Yeah. Absolutely. Good luck with that.

Billy: I’m actually gonna need that. I don’t know if abby’s filled you in, but things are pretty tense over there right now. Devon and I are not seeing eye to eye, and I’m a little nervous that things are only gonna get worse.

Ashley: Yes. Corporate infighting. It’s very bad for everything that happens in the corporation, and, I mean, if you want my humble advice, I would say that you should just, you know, stay out of that boxing ring because it’s better to be peaceful about all that, and– and it’s more– it’s, uh, beneficial for everybody.

Billy: Ashley.

Ashley: I think it’s better.

Billy: Are you okay?

Ashley: Yes, I’m okay. Why do you keep asking me that? You don’t have to worry about me. Could you please not worry about me anymore?

Billy: Yeah.

Ashley: Okay.

Billy: I can try.

Ashley: Okay.

Billy: All right. I’ll see you soon.

Ashley: Okay. Hey, sir? Could– could I please get a ginger ale? With a cherry. Thank you. Boy that was a close one.

Did you know you waste

200 hours a year

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Ashley: Thank you. Ash? Ash! No. Shut up. No, no, no. No. No. I’m not going back in. Your plan is too dangerous. I’m gonna protect her. I can do it.

Summer: Oh.

Kyle: That was fun, wasn’t it? New book, some hot chocolate.

Harrison: Claire’s funny too.

Kyle: Oh, she is, isn’t she? I think she thinks you’re funny, too.

Harrison: We’re friends now, so when can I see her again?

Kyle: Oh.

Summer: I really liked claire too, but I don’t know just when we’ll see her again. It seems like she’s really busy with other things right now.

Victoria: Mom? Dad? Is something wrong? Why did you text me to come right over?

Nikki: What? You had victoria drop whatever she was doing just to come to the ranch?

Victoria: Yes.

Nikki: Oh, you think that she’s going to talk me out of this, right?

Victoria: Talk you out of what?

Victor: Your mother is proposing that I stand back while she goes and confronts jordan. Now, kindly tell her that this is a very bad idea. She will not get the satisfaction that she’s looking for.

Nikki: I need to find that out for myself.

Victor: It’s only gonna exacerbate things. It’s gonna make things worse for her.

Nikki: Victor, you know that I am made of tougher stuff than that. I need to confront jordan face to face to let her know that she hasn’t and never will destroy me or my family. It’s the only way I know how to regain my power.

Victor: Can’t you tell your mother it’s a bad idea?

Victoria: Actually, dad, I agree with mom.

Victor: You what?

Victoria: I see her point and I completely support her plan.

Claire: I know I don’t have a vote, for good reason, but I support nikki too. Only, I don’t think it should be one-on-one.

Victor: What do you mean by that?

Claire: I’d like to be a part of it. I wanna go with you to confront jordan.

Victoria: So do I. See? Homequote explorer lets you easily compare

Victor: The three of you concur. I don’t give a damn. It’s a lousy idea.

Nikki: It’s not your call to make.

Victor: Yes it is. You don’t even know where she is. You have no idea where to go to find her, do you? So, end of story.

Victoria: Dad, you need to listen to mom. You need to really hear what she’s saying.

Nikki: Victor, I understand your concerns. That after everything that jordan did to me, she deserves to hear from me directly.

Victoria: She deserves to hear from all of us, dad.

Claire: And we deserve to be heard.

Nikki: It just has to happen. I mean, we need to let her know that everything she tried to do to us, she failed. She lost.

Victoria: Daddy, the three of us, we can keep each other safe. But we need a chance to be able to look into jordan’s eyes and let her know that we’re in control and that she will never have control over anyone ever again.

Nikki: That’s right. She’s had her fun. It’s over.

Victoria: She stole my daughter from me. She poisoned our whole family! She burned down my house, dad. I want to see her suffer for these atrocities.

Nikki: This needs to happen. We need it for closure.

Alcott: Connor, we don’t think of it that way. It’s less like a hospital and more like a retreat. It’s a place of healing where people go to find the peace they need to focus and revitalize.

Connor: So it’s like a hospital for sick people, only farther away?

Alcott: No, and no. There are several excellent locations across the country, and like I said, think of it like a vacation retreat. The people are nice, and there are others there going through what you’re going through.

Chelsea: It sounds pretty great.

Alcott: It is. And the school here is completely on board. They’ll make arrangements for you to keep up with your studies so you don’t get behind.

Connor: What about the soccer team? Does this retreat of yours have that?

Alcott: No, but there are activities, arts, music, and a gym, especially at one place that I’m thinking of. And your coach has promised to keep your spot on the team open for when you return.

Chelsea: What do you think, connor? It sounds like a good plan, doesn’t it?

Connor: No, I don’t wanna go.

Adam: Look, connor. Look, we– we don’t need to decide any of this right now, right?

Alcott: No, of course not.

Adam: Okay, good. Then, we will have time to think about it, and we can weigh the pros and cons, and we can come to a decision as a family.

Alcott: Absolutely. Take your time, discuss it, and let me know what you decide.

Chelsea: Connor, are you okay?

Connor: No. I don’t wanna go to some treatment place. It’s like admitting I’m crazy or something.

Chelsea: Hey, hey. You are not crazy, okay? Hey, you heard what dr. Alcott said in there. There’s you. Wonderful, clever, sporty you. And then there’s the ocd, which is separate from you, and we just have to learn how to treat it and manage it.

Adam: Yes, that’s right. Okay? You did nothing wrong. And you’re not crazy. This is just something that happened, and even though we don’t know why, it doesn’t mean that we can’t deal with this.

Chelsea: Sweetie, what you have is an illness. But you remember last year, I went somewhere to get extra help, and listen, your place sounds like a lot more fun, right? Yeah, it’s just– it’s just how we get the ocd behaviors and thoughts to– to back off and leave you alone. Isn’t that a good thing?

Adam: All right, connor, come on. We’ll grab a bite on the way? Probably hungry, right? All right, come on. We’ll get you something.

Chelsea: Thank you. Excuse me, dr. Alcott?

Alcott: Yes, chelsea, come in. I know how difficult this is for a family to go through.

Chelsea: Yeah, it’s– it’s been tough and– and we’re all struggling in our own way.

Alcott: Something like this affects the whole family. We can discuss connor’s case further if you like. I’m happy to answer any questions.

Chelsea: Yeah, that– that would be great actually, because I have– I have a lot of them.

Alcott: I can see connor’s having a hard time accepting and understanding his diagnosis. Feel free to ask me anything. I’m here to help all of you through this.

Chelsea: Thank you. Um, I appreciate that. Um… because I think if it’s okay, I wanna talk about myself. Um, because I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to deal with this.

Kyle: Okay, I’ve got an idea. Why don’t you go upstairs and pull up a game you want all three of us to play? Mom and i will be up in a minute, and then maybe you and I can team up against her again. Cool?

Harrison: I bet me and claire can beat both of you.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: Okay, get up there. We’ll be up in a minute. Well, that’s a relief. Seeing him actually smile again. He’s been so surly with the nannies we interviewed.

Summer: Yeah, well, he misses linda. It’s nice that he was cheerful with claire.

Kyle: Yeah, he was. It’s kind of a coincidence she’s interested in working with kids.

Summer: Well, she knows how to speak to them on their level. She didn’t talk over his head or baby him.

Kyle: And she’s got jokes. He meant it when he said he wanted to hang out with her again.

Summer: And that’s really sweet, but it sounds like she has to build her life up from scratch, so.

Kyle: Well, she needs a job.

Summer: Victoria’s gonna make sure she has plenty of options.

Kyle: Or maybe we could consider her as a potential babysitter for harrison.

Summer: Do you really think that claire is a good idea?

Kyle: She’s the first person he’s smiled at since linda left. Maybe we can consider her temporarily or at least until she figures out what she wants to do and we can find someone on a more permanent basis.

Summer: I don’t know. I mean, what do we even know about her? Yes, she is victoria’s daughter, but victoria just met her. And yes, she was my grandma’s assistant, but I highly doubt she has any experience with children or formal training or references.

Kyle: Okay, victoria may not have known her long, but those two have bonded. I mean, complete acceptance. That says something, doesn’t it? And she was hired at newman, working directly under nikki. Her background may not be in child care, but her resume’s got to be solid.

Summer: True.

Kyle: Okay, so we get a reference from her about claire and, you know, go from there.

Summer: Okay. Yeah, yeah, I’ll talk to my grandma about it. But trusting somebody in an office, it’s a lot different than trusting somebody with your kid. You know, being a great assistant, that’s one thing, but taking care of a little boy, it’s a whole different ballgame. Literally. Our son can run a person ragged.

Kyle: That’s a good point. But checking in with nikki’s a good place to start. I get the feeling that there’s more to claire’s story than victoria and she were willing to share in front of harrison.

Summer: That’s true. I got that sense as well. I mean, if it’s something that you can’t talk about in front of a kid, then it’s got to be messy.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Summer: What if it’s so bad that they’re not willing to talk about it at all?

Nikki: Victor, you really have nothing to worry about.

Victoria: The three of us will protect each other, dad.

Nikki: We can handle her. You just need to trust us, okay?

Victor: All right.

Nikki: Wonderful. Now all we need is for you to give us the address.

Victor: Oh, wait a minute. I haven’t agreed completely yet.

Nikki: Well, what more is there to agree to?

Victor: You need someone with you.

Nikki: But it can’t be you, darling.

Victor: Why the hell not?

Nikki: It needs to be just the three of us.

Victoria: You can assign one of your security guards to be with us at all times.

Nikki: Yes, yes. Larry is welcome to join us. He just can’t get in our way. That is non-negotiable. But it’s our turn to take our lives back for good.

[ Victor sighing ]

Ashley: You know you can’t do this yourself. That’s not who you are or what you do. This is my department. You need me. You know you do. More importantly, ashley needs me. Sh! No. I’ve got this.

Adam and Chelsea take Connor to see Dr. Alcott again, but Connor isn’t happy to be there. Dr. Alcott wants him to go to a therapy place, which is kind of like a school/hospital where they can train him to deal with his OCD. Connor isn’t too thrilled about that idea. Later, Chelsea tells the doctor that she doesn’t know how to handle all this.

Billy is in the GCAC bar when he sees Ashley walk in. He goes over to say, and she says, “What’s up, bro?” She acts and speaks very strangely, like a teenager. He asks her how she feels now about Tucker, and she says that she’s over him and that he’s “gross.” Billy can tell she’s acting strangely, but he gets called to a meeting with Devon. After he leaves, Ashley talks to herself, in her head, about how to protect Ashley. (Sounds like a multiple personality story)

Victor gloats to Nikki about how he got the upper hand with Jordan. Nikki wants to confront Jordan, but he thinks that’s a terrible idea.

Victoria and Claire have lunch with Kyle, Summer and Harrison. Victoria fills the others in a little bit about Claire’s history (with very few details). Claire tells them she loves her new family. In the meantime, she gets along very well with Harrison. Victoria and Claire are called away suddenly because of a text from Victor. Later, Kyle wonders if Claire would be a good babysitter for Harrison, but Summer makes it clear that they should get to know more about her first.

Nikki is appalled to learn that Victor made Victoria drop whatever she was doing to come try to talk her out of confronting Jordan. Claire and Victoria side with Nikki. They want to confront Jordan, too. Victor still thinks it’s a bad idea. Nikki agrees to let him send a security guard along.

Recap written by Suzanne

After Nina tells Joss about Dex trying to kill Cyrus at the hospital, Dex is forced to tell Joss what happened, and why. She’s shocked and disgusted; she leaves, never wanting to see him again.

Sonny visits Dante, who’s still unconscious but stable.

Olivia has been sleeping on the couch, worried about Dante. She awakens to find Tracy nearby, acting uncharacteristically kind and helpful. She makes Olivia some coffee. Later, Olivia has fallen asleep but awakens again. Tracy is there but Lois delivers the coffee. The two old friends have a chat, mostly about their kids. Lois is worried about Brook Lynn marrying a cop, since it’s so dangerous.

Tracy goes to visit Sonny and Dante at the hospital. Seeing Dante reminds her of Luke.

Nina arrives and asks Ava to intervene on her behalf with Sonny. She’s distraught because she can’t even comfort him while his son is in the hospital. Ava goes to see Sonny. When she mentions Nina, he doesn’t want to hear her name. Ava just sits with him and Dante.

Diane and Alexis try to figure out a way for Alexis to get her law license back. They discuss how it came about and how to deal with the red tape to get it back.

Kevin explains to Curtis, Marshall and Stella about how Marshall was misdiagnosed by the late Dr. Braddock because of how doctors used to treat anyone who was different, including angry young black men (like Marshall was) as mentally ill.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

what do you mean? Dex was there when cyrus was there? That’s right. Cyrus survived the beating from sonny, and he also survived his hospital stay, which I’m guessing was just as dangerous. What were you doing there? He was there in hospital scrubs. Let’s not forget that detail. You’re smart, josslyn. You’ll figure it out.

[ Monitor beeping ] Dante. I know you’re in god’s hands, and I believe that your spirit’s strong enough to come back to us. I know you can’t hear me, but I just want you to know that I’m not giving up on you. And I don’t want… …don’t want you to give up on yourself. If you can hear me, I just want you to know that your father is always gonna be… with you. Ooh! Is dante — is he…okay? There’s no change and he would want you to sleep. You were at the hospital all night. Oh. No word from the hospital. Okay. I think I’m gonna maybe head up and take a nice hot shower. Actually, I just walked past your room and scout and sam are asleep on your bed. Ah. Hot coffee it is. Coming right up. You’re gonna make it? I didn’t think you knew how.

[ Scoffs, laughs ]

[ Sighs ] What a talented artist! Oh, you know she studied at l’université de paris, right? Yes, I saw that, too. Oh, my gosh. So many colleges and universities… all a part of each other and around each other. Paris was really the perfect creative environment. Sweetheart… I understand the impulse to throw yourself into work to help cope. But maybe being here around all of this… maybe it isn’t helping. Yeah, but I… I don’t know what will. The appellate division came for you after a ruling in front of the medical board. Correct? That’s a division of the department of health, and that’s deep state. Okay, honey. Hmm? Now we’ve gone from magical thinking to just being ridiculous.

[ Laughs ] It was a regulatory body. I was under oath. Well, I know plenty of elected officials who have lied under oath. None of them have been disbarred. Yeah, I know a lot more that should have been disbarred. But how does any of this have anything to do with me? All right, dr. Collins. It’s true. During that time, I was a young black man down on my luck. And yes, I felt a certain kind of way toward the world around me. Angry. Right, pop? Yeah, I was angry. I have to take issue with two things, dr. Collins. We don’t characterize low-income people as “poor.” Being deemed “poor” is not good for one’s self-esteem or state of mind. And that “anger” marshall was feeling was justified. But I understand what you were trying to say. Marshall: Yeah, so — so do I. But given how things were back in the day, my age, my social standing, my blackness, how well-adjusted could I possibly be? That doctor called me schizophrenic. Did I have to be mentally ill to feel the way I felt? Exactly. You’ve just correctly diagnosed your misdiagnosis.

[ Scoffs ]


Why did you go to the hospital? I was told to go. By sonny? Yes. To deliver some sort of message? No. Why were you wearing scrubs? Did sonny send you to do something? Yes. To kill him? Yes.

[ Snoring ] Oh! Oh, my god. Hi. I must be really tired. I think I’m hallucinating. Weren’t you just tracy a couple of minutes ago? No. Never in any lifetime. Uh, but she did have to go, so she asked me to look after you. Aww. She said to bring you this and make sure you enjoy every sip. Aww. Damn, that is good coffee. Did you make this? No. You okay? No. Is there any word from the hospital?

[ Breathes deeply ] No. There isn’T. But I can call them if you want to. I just figured they’ll call if they needed anything. You mean like if there’s any change in my son’s condition? Honest to god, I don’t know if I should be relieved or terrified. I know it sounds trite, but you have to give yourself time. You’ll get through this. You just called that painting — what did you call it? What’d you say? It’s “fire”? Right? That’s more than going through the motions, honey. Hi. Um… do you have time to talk? I’ll just — I’ll go take that to the back. Are you okay? What’s going on? No, I’m not okay.

The invader ran this really insensitive story about the shooting on the pier that mentioned sonny. But why are you acting surprised by this? Because I’m the publisher of the invader, and they slipped it by me and published this story. If I would have known, I would have done damage control, or I would have killed it altogether. Well, if you’re worried about sonny, he could not care less about the story. And then I ran into josslyn. I went over to dex’s to see him, and she was there. Why did you go see dex?! Because I can’t see sonny. I can’t even go to the hospital to check on dante. Well, did — did dex say anything? No, he didn’t say anything. And I probably just made everything worse. But I don’t care because I am being pushed aside when my husband needs me the most. Ava, I have to find a way to get to him and I’m running out of options. I need you to help me. Right off the bat, I want to take issue with a couple of things. The charge of perjury against you came well after dr. Byrne’s hearing in front of the medical board in 2020. Right? Yes, yes. And that charge stemmed from julian jerome and britt westbourne, both of whom were known perjurers, both of whom were criminals, both of whom are dead. But neither of them were the ones that brought this to the attention of the bar. Yes, but they had to be deposed. And they’re both liars. Okay. All right. That’s off to the side. What I want to circle back to now is why you never defended yourself. Why you never mounted any sort of filing for yourself. Because it was true. Irrelevant! Let’s just say you, uh — you were never presented the opportunity. No, no, no, we can’t do that. Anyway, anyway, look, this is now just you and I here. You know full well you had the right to mount a defense. So why didn’t you? I guess at the time, I didn’t think I had anything left to fight for. Well, snap out of it. Shake off the “poor me’s” and rack whatever is left of that steel-trap mind. Because you’ve got two things to focus on now. Number one, why working here is not working for you, and, number two, how you plan to get out of it. Have any of you heard of a book called “the youngest science”? I read that, and if I recall correctly, it’s an account about medicine evolving as a science from an influential doctor’s point of view. Yes, it’s a personal historical accounting of 20th-century medicine’s evolution. It’s a fascinating read. Okay, okay. It sounds great. Maybe I’ll pick it up. Why are we talking about it? Only as a reference. Uh, medicine as a science has come a long way, but over a long period of time. Psychiatry is much younger, and as a discipline, it’s made all the same mistakes that all the other disciplines have made. Think of it as how astronomers used to believe that the sun revolved around the earth. The point is, scientists and researchers like to be right, and they often fall into the trap of “proving” what they already believe. Yeah, doc, that happens everywhere. Which brings us to dr. Braddock and his work. He wasn’t alone in his beliefs and practices. And I won’t defend the mistakes that my discipline made when psychiatry was still trying to figure out what the heck mental health even was. The point being, the big question at the time was, what is normal? And does that mean being like everybody else? “Everybody else.” Right. And if you’re a mid-20th-century psychiatrist making that determination, you tend to look at the people that you already know, which are going to be decently educated, employed, churchgoing, and predominantly white. That was the control group. Now, if you didn’t belong to this “normal,” predominantly cultural group, if you don’t share any of those hallmarks, or maybe you’re not as adept at code-switching, well, then you present a problem. Hm. An illness.


What? Sonny gives you that order and you say, “yes, boss”? I can’t believe you’d agree to something like that. No, I didn’T. I tried to talk sonny out of it. Oh. Okay. Yeah, of course. You would never go through with something like that. I mean, it’s just nina stirring up trouble, per usual. Except that’s not how it went down, joss. I was going to do it, but sonny stopped me. Tracy. Hi, sonny. Any news? I’d give you some if there was some. I left, uh… sam and olivia back at the house. They both needed sleep. Oh, I hope you won’t ruin my reputation as being cold and unfeeling. Your secret’s safe with me. I’m sorry. Every time I-I see a hospital bed, it just reminds me of luke lying in it. Well, my friend, perhaps your memory is impaired because, as I recall, you weren’t living your best life at the time. No, I was drinking. Definitely not making good choices. You never even had a proper hearing. I was the one who informed you of the decision by phone. Remember? Rings a bell. You know, there’s also a case to be made for bias. Bias? Why? ‘Cause I’m a woman? No. Because you’re a lawyer. Who does the medical profession hate more than anyone? Lawyers. I hate most lawyers, too. But more than anything in the world right now, I wish I still was one. Decades ago, psychiatrists deemed aggression, anger, or a sense of dislocation from the dominant cultural group as a mental maladjustment. Never mind the societal injustices that existed only because they hadn’t been challenged for centuries. Which was the actual maladjustment to begin with. Right. So defiant, anxious young black men were tagged as schizophrenic, whether the diagnosis was accurate or not, especially when one of the hallmarks of the disease is a misconception of reality, such as an institution or society at large is out to get them. Someone might be obsessed about that, or angry about it. Or desperate. To figure out why his heart is suddenly racing for no reason. Why… why his hands are sweaty and suddenly it’s hard to breathe. Or why people are just looking at him funny. I couldn’t play my horn like that, man. I was mad. And frightened. I thought something was wrong with me, or that somebody was trying to do something to me. So you sought help. And you, like a lot of other young men, were deemed schizophrenic when all you were doing was perceiving the reality around you. On top of that, the medications you were likely prescribed would cause unexplained behaviors, which would only reinforce the misdiagnosis. Lord, have mercy. An entire generation of unhappy women were prescribed valium. It’s a muscle relaxer. Gay, lesbian, and trans people were tranquilized, hospitalized, or, worse, electroshocked into quiescence. And that’s only if they had health insurance, by the way. Did you? For a short time. Once the insurance companies knew I had been institutionalized, I was dropped. Got bounced. Out the door with all the — those others you were talking about, who couldn’t pay. You’d find us on the streets and bars and prisons, worried. Worried we’d pose a danger to the people at home we most loved… or bring shame on them. There’s no shame for you, mr. Ashford. The shame is and will always be ours.


Was it that night that adam was in the hospital? Oh, my god. It was, wasn’t it? And I was in the chapel. And then you came in, and then I fell asleep. And when I woke up, you were in there. And I remember thinking how lucky I was that you were there, and that I could always depend on you. And now you’re… you’re telling me…what? If sonny hadn’t stopped you, you would have just come and sat in the chapel with me? I don’t know what would have happened. All I know is what did. I was in scrubs. I had lifted a vial of fentanyl from the pharmacy storage, and I was going to inject it into cyrus’ picc line when sonny showed up. And if sonny hadn’t stopped you, and he hadn’t walked in right then, you’re telling me you would have done it? Yes. Who are you? You promised that you’d help me try to put my marriage back together. Let’s come up with a strategy, a way to break through sonny’s anger and get him to see that he still needs me. The timing isn’t — isn’t very good for you, nina. I mean, what are you gonna say — “sonny, don’t look at your son who’s hanging on to his life by a thread. Look at me”? No, of course not, ava. No, it’s more like, “sonny, let me be there to support you. Let me love you. Let me be there when you’re going through this incredibly difficult time. Let me be your wife ag– again.” That’s what it’d be. I still don’t quite understand why you were with sonny at the warehouse. But you were there. That means that he trusts you. If you advocate for me, he will listen. Trina: Hey, ava. I just tracked the other packages, and another one should be coming in today. The delivery was pushed up. I have to go out. Are you up to staying here and receiving it? If it comes before I get back, just, um, log it in and — and lock up. Yeah, I got you. Are you all right? Yeah, I’ll be fine. Thank you so much. You remember when my nonna told us that boys were easier to raise than girls? Yeah. She lied.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. She did. Either that or she didn’t know any of the kids that dante grew up with. Oh, I think it was… maybe just our neighborhood, right? I mean, ’cause those boys, they were, like, a step above hooligans. And I mean a tiny step. Yeah. And dante was one of them. I mean, that kid got into so many scraps in that high school, they felt like they had to send him away for counseling. I’m telling you, I was — I was scared to death that there was actually something wrong with him. But it turns out it was just dante being dante. You know, he was always standing up to bullies, defending the weaker kids, and not letting anyone get pushed around. That’s why he’s such a great cop. Yeah. You know? The best kind. The ones that truly know what it means to protect and serve. Dr. Collins, I was a social worker for many years before I became a patient advocate. And the reason I switched is because I saw and experienced the inequities within the medical system firsthand. Those mistakes you spoke of were born of racism, sexism, otherism, plain and simple. And what happened to marshall wasn’t a mistake. It was malpractice signed, sealed, and systemic. I’m sure you’ve seen the stories of how blacks, minorities, and women experience medical bias. It’s all over the news lately, but it’s nothing new. It’s been going on since the jim crow era. And women still aren’t taken seriously by medical professionals. I know because I have patients I have to fight for in this very hospital. Not to mention the ongoing maternal health crisis for women of color. And what burns me up is that we have great, talented medical professionals in this country. There’s no excuse for any of this. I’m sorry. I could go on, but I’m done. I’m done. As you can see, doc, my auntie is a passionate social justice warrior. Yeah, baby, but I’m getting tired of this fight. Why, after all this time, are we still reckoning with things like this? We’re all human. It doesn’t matter, the variety. Biology is biology. You are an advocate in every sense of the word, ms. Henry. I hope you never stop. Yeah. I know, uh, an apology from someone like me at this late date is meaningless. No, no. Not meaningless. Not at all. You — you told the truth. You validated what I’ve been going through most of my life. I… doctor, I just wish I had been able to understand all of this sooner. Not handed over my sanity and my life to some guy with a degree because I thought he was helping me. Curtis: Well, that’s — that’s hard to do, pop, when the person you trusted to help you was attacking you. It’s insidious. I can just wonder — how many other people did he do this to? Oh, there were others. Braddock was a respected, published doctor. Well, we always figured it was something like this. And not only did you confirm it, but you — you shone a light on my life. It’s a lot to process. Kind sir, I am so grateful to you. Well, I’m sure you’re a bit leery of shrinks right about now, but my door’s always open if you ever would like to talk this through. I’ll think about it.

[ Chuckles ] Of course. Thank you, dr. Collins. Mr. Ashford.


Sonny gave me an order. I didn’t have the option to refuse. You’re telling me you would have chosen to kill for sonny? No, no. I didn’t want to. I just didn’t see a way out. But sonny asking me was a test. And either I pass or I’m the one who gets eliminated. I’m just lucky that he changed his mind. Dex, you’re not understanding me, okay? In my head, yeah, you’re working for sonny, but you are also working for my mom and my brother. My own family. I never thought that you would cross this line. I have pictured a life with you that isn’t possible. I was gonna leave everything for you. Now I feel like I don’t even know you. Oh, joss, that is not true. Okay? You do know me, and I know you. I’m glad that it didn’t happen. But I didn’t see the point of getting myself killed for refusing to take out cyrus. This isn’t about cyrus. I hate cyrus. This is different. Neither sonny, nor you, were being shot at. There were no guns out. This was a defenseless old man in a hospital bed. I cannot unsee the image of you going into that room. This is about you being okay with killing someone. Do you understand? I’ve killed before. You’re right. You have. And I have put you on this pedestal in my head and never imagined that this is something you would be okay with. But I’m not. This changes everything. I can’t do this anymore.

[ Door closes ] So when you wake up, give me a call. Let me know if there’s any news about dante. Okay, honey. Love you. Bye. Sam? Voicemail. What’d you find out? Well, apparently I have to file an appeal with the appellate court before I can file an appeal with the appellate court. Oh. See? I’m glad you understood what that means. Maybe you’re remembering how redundant and full of catch-22’s the law actually is. Maybe that steel trap isn’t as rusty as I thought. It’s creaky, but functioning. I suppose it has to be a special pleading… mm-hmm. Since I did lie so that neil wouldn’t lose his medical license. And then he lost it anyway. Yeah, yeah. You threw away your career for him. Why did I do that again? Because you’re a rescuer, alexis. You want to be the heroine in everybody’s life but yours. In fact, in yours, you’re the archvillain, so no punishment is ever enough. Stella, I’m so glad you’re here. I would like to request a phone call if there’s any change in dante’s condition. My cellphone number is on file with the hospital board. I’ll note dante’s file. And speaking of board, I have a few things I need to run by you. Oh? Yes, but we don’t have to get into it right now. Well, I’m here right now, so let’s get into it right now. Unless you have something else you need to… there you are. How you doing? Sorry I, uh, took off like that. I just figured I could use some time to myself. Some history lesson, huh? Yeah. Yeah, dr. Collins, he broke it down for us, didn’t he? But he didn’t say anything we hadn’t already put together, right? Pop, if you want me to leave you alone so you can rant, vent, curse, and damn dr. Braddock’s name to hell, I can take off. I came here intending to do just that, curtis. To holler and to curse. But I couldn’T. I couldn’t get something your aunt stella said out of my head. Uh [Chuckles] Which part? She said so much. Yeah, yeah, she’s something else, but she got me. She got me when she said, “we’re all human.” Well, I guess at the end of the day, that’s what it all boils down to. Then why… why in blazes can’t we act like it? It’s so wrong. Everybody is — is wrong about most everything they think about. I lost — I lost decades because of how people wanted to see me or not see me. That doctor, he lost a lifelong career because of his misbeliefs. It’s so senseless, man. You’re being very philosophical about this doctor. Me? Not so much. He’s dead. And now I find myself in the position where I got to forgive that man. Because that’s what your mama would want me to do. Irene always said forgiveness isn’t for the other person as much as it is for ourselves.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. Curtis, if I — if I carry around hate for that man, I’m gonna turn into a hateful person. I’ll be just like him. Yeah, well… maybe I’ll just have to work harder on that. But I will. For you. And for myself. I just… I just thought of something. That doctor, he… that disgraced doctor is six feet under. And I am here. I’m here with my family. My beautiful, accomplished, talented family. A family any man would be proud of. Everything I thought was wrong somehow turned out to be right. Or is it just another proof of the existence of god?


Oh, my gosh. What? Joss, what happened? Is it dante? No. I mean, I don’t know how dante’s doing. I hope he’s fine, but… okay, well, I need you to calm down and stop crying because I am two seconds away from joining you. And if I start, I won’t be able to stop. So please take — take a deep breath and tell me what happened. It’s dex. What happened? Is he leaving town again? I hope so. [ Voice breaking ] I hope he never comes back. What? You are the only board member who hasn’t made an appointment for their complimentary annual wellness exam. Oh, it’s not necessary. I’m no longer seeing dr. Finn. You see, his brother is marrying my granddaughter, so it just felt a little too close. There are a lot of doctors in this hospital. And dr. Randolph would be happy to see you. I’ll get around to it. When? When I get around to it. What’s the big deal? Do I look sick to you? No. You look foolish. I just came down off a soapbox talking about the inequities in the medical system and how people are literally dying for proper care. And here you stand the very picture of privilege refusing to get a free annual exam! Lois: Isn’t it a trip, my daughter and your son growing up together, and now she’s about to marry his partner? Oh, life’s funny. Chase is really a sweetheart. Yeah, he is. Very devoted to his job. How is brook lynn handling that?

[ Sighs ] She’s crying her eyes out and hiding it from chase so that she doesn’t worry him. Yeah, that’s her new reality. I honestly don’t even know what to say to her about it. I don’t know how you put up with it all these years. I got to tell you, I’m terrified that my daughter is about to marry a cop. Now, you would think that it would matter that dante was on the right side of the law. A bullet doesn’t care. Sonny didn’t get shot. Dante did. I don’t think I’m still my own nemesis. I’ve had my dark night of the soul. I go to meetings, I do the work. I know that I’m gonna be the only one to champion myself. So you’re out of the rescue business? I may get a cat.

[ Laughs ] Maybe three. But in my personal life, I’ve hung up the cape. But — but impulses die hard. I still root for the underdog. Well, until we get your law license back, the only underdog I want you rooting for is you. Now, I am going to go see how far and how fast I can push this appeals process along. In the meantime, I need two things from you — don’t sleep with any more doctors. As far as I’m concerned, attorneys should only sleep with attorneys. Attorneys. Yeah. Maybe just district attorneys. You know, that way, we narrow down the pool. You know what I mean, right? Yeah. Mm-hmm. The second thing is, get rid of that insipid gossip columnist that came after me.


I thought that nothing could ever change the way that I feel about dex. But I was wrong. I feel like I don’t even know him. I feel like he’s a different person. Or maybe he’s always been this person and I’m just now seeing it, but… what he’s okay with, I’m not okay with. And what he can live with, I can’T. I won’T. I need the police non-emergency number, please. Let’s not make a federal case out of this. I will get my free wellness exam. Good. Shall I set it up now? No! I have to check my calendar. I’ll get back to you. Fine. You do that. I will!

[ Sighs ] Stella? Yes, ms. Quartermaine? I apologize for being rude, and I would like it if you’d call me tracy. Well, tracy, I was a little worked up already, and you’ve been rude to me before.

[ Both chuckle ] I’m surprised they let you in. Nobody stopped me. In fact, they — they told me at the nurses’ station that dante was stable. They’re not really supposed to give out that information. You know, only to the family. Maybe they thought I was nina. Don’t say that name. I just can’T. Right. I’m sorry. I won’t even talk. I’ll just — I’ll just stay and wait with you for a bit.

[ Sentimental music ]

Thomas: Marry me, hope. I have loved you for as long as I can remember. I promise to you that I will be a wonderful husband and a father, a great father. Say you’ll marry me, hope. Say you’ll be my wife.

Steffy: Yep. Yeah, that’s great. Okay, well send me a list of your preferred photographers and we’ll get back to you. All right. Thank you so much, marianne. All right, bye. Liam, what brings you here?

Liam: Uh, I was gonna come up with an excuse, like I’m dropping something off for kelly, but truth is, I just, uh, I know you’ve got a lot going on and um, I’m a bit concerned. I mean, what happened to sheila is one thing, but especially finn’s reaction to her death.

Finn: Hey, I’m sorry luna’s upset with you. I mean, I know you guys are so close. To be honest, you’re more like sisters than mother and daughter.

Poppy: I know, but with this, she doesn’t want to talk to me. She wants to talk to her dad.

Finn: And that has something to do with me?

Luna: I’m sorry.

Bill: Why? You have nothing to apologize for.

Luna: I don’t know, because I’m all emotional in front of you and you barely even know me.

Bill: Well, I’d like to get to know you better. I’m not your father. But, I could be a shoulder for you to cry on. Or maybe cry over, because I do kinda like this shirt. I don’t want you to ruin it. You can talk to me, luna.

Finn: I mean, you and luna are family. If you guys are having any kind of trouble, I want to help fix it any way I can. I’m just– I’m just not seeing what I can do, exactly.

Poppy: You can give luna what she’s looking for. What she wants more than anything. Talk to her, finn.

Luna: You’re being really nice.

Bill: Do me a favor, keep that to yourself. I have a reputation to uphold.

Luna: Don’t worry, I’m not gonna tell anyone how nice you are about listening to my problems.

Bill: It doesn’t cost me a thing. And who knows, I mean, maybe i can offer you some actual help. Or at least a little guidance.

Luna: It’s just been really frustrating. You know, because all my life, my mom has been like my best friend. Someone that I can confide in, someone that I can talk to about literally anything. Um, but now…

Bill: You wish you had your father to turn to.

Luna: Yeah, but my mom won’t tell me who he is.

Steffy: I appreciate your concern.

Liam: But you’re about to tell me there’s no reason to be.

Steffy: There isn’T. Not in the long run. Sheila’s death has presented a bit of a problem, but we’re gonna get through it. My relationship is fine with finn. I’m not worried about us. I’m worried about thomas.

Liam: What’s wrong with thomas?

Steffy: What do you think? Hope. Hope is wearing thomas’ engagement ring on a chain around her neck. I mean, that is ridiculous. You know she doesn’t really love him. She’s just leading him on. She’s never gonna truly commit herself to him.

Thomas: I designed that dress for what I hope will be one of the most important occasions of our lives. And you look more beautiful than I ever could’ve imagined. By the way, I love you so much. And I know I’ve said that a thousand times, but I… it couldn’t hurt to say it one more, right? I do. I love you. Now, this ring has been around your neck for, I think, long enough. It deserves to be on your hand. I want the world to see us walking into the future together, hand in hand, side by side. All you have to do is say you’ll marry me.

Finn: You want me to talk to luna?

Poppy: Yes.

Finn: Sure, I’m more than happy to spend time with her. But if the person she wants to talk to is her dad… and look, I don’t mean to pry, but do you– do you know– do you know who luna’s father is?

Luna: What do you think, bill? I mean, don’t you think I have the right to know who my father is?

Bill: What I think doesn’t matter. This is between you and your mom. But I was curious enough to ask poppy if it was me. The timing works. The night we spent together at the festival. And when you were born.

Luna: She said it wasn’T.

Bill: Right.

Luna: God. This is just so unfair. You know, whoever he is, I’m his daughter. You know, I feel like we deserve to know each other. My mom was just wrong for keeping us apart.

Bill: Did you ever think that maybe poppy knows something that you don’t?

Luna: What, like you mean like he’s a bad person?

Bill: Not necessarily that. Look, this is what I know. Your mom loves you more than anything. I’m sure she has your best interests at heart.

Steffy: I want thomas to be happy. I want him to find peace, love, family, but hope is stringing him along.

Liam: Well, I want hope to not be with thomas at all, so there’s that. Eh, maybe if I handled things differently.

Steffy: What are you talking about? Please, hope always acts like she’s the victim here, lamenting the end of your marriage when she was the one who kissed thomas in rome. She’s not so innocent.

Liam: Thank you for acknowledging that. Not many people do.

Steffy: No, I’m just losing patience here. She already messed with your emotions, now she’s doing the exact same thing to thomas. She’s leading him on. Making him believe there’s a chance that she’s gonna marry him.

Thomas: We have wasted enough time, hope. I wanna be a family. You, me, douglas and beth, so say you’ll marry me. This is a make it, break it moment. You and me, together. I want to spend the rest of our lives with each other. Say you’ll be my wife.

Hope: I love you. Thomas, I– I really do. But I… I can’t accept your proposal. I’m– I’m not ready. Why do dermatologists worldwide recommend

Poppy: If I told you that luna was conceived in love, would that answer your question?

Finn: I mean, I just– I don’t get it. You had to have known the day would eventually come when luna would want to know who her father is, so why not just let it happen?

Poppy: Because it’s always just been luna and me. The two of us were always enough.

Finn: Maybe for you, but I could see a world where luna wouldn’t wanna upset you by admitting that she– that she did need him.

Poppy: What she needs is a strong male presence in her life. She loves you, finn, and she looks up to you, and you could easily fill those shoes. Please, will you do it? Will you be that male presence in my daughter’s life?

Luna: I’m sorry. You– you came here to see my mom and instead you got me crying over a father that I’ve never known.

Bill: I don’t mind. I kind of like being someone you can trust with your feelings.

Luna: You know, you have really kind eyes. It’s probably the first thing my mom saw when she first met you all those years ago. My mom always says that the, uh, the eyes are the window to the soul.

Bill: I don’t know that my eyes have always revealed the best part of me. But they did that night that I first looked at your mom. And maybe that’s why she returned the favor. You know, she hasn’t changed. I mean, she’s still that same take me or leave me breath of fresh air. And– and I’m– I’m pretty guarded with women at this point in my life.

Luna: Why’s that?

Bill: Money. I have it and a lot of women want it.

Luna: Well, my mom doesn’t really care about money.

Bill: Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I’m so drawn to her. Your mom is an incredible woman and she has raised an equally remarkable daughter.

Steffy: Hope has been out of control since she broke up with you. Now, she’s laser focused on thomas and thomas believes that they actually have a future together. I don’t believe that. I think he is in for a world of hurt.

Liam: Or she is, or they both are, I– whatever. I think we can both agree that hope and thomas is a toxic combination.

Hope: Thomas, I’m sorry. The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you and I can tell that I have.

Thomas: You’re turning me down again.

Hope: Again, please understand. It has nothing to do with you. You, you’re amazing. And you’re wonderful and the time that we share together, it brings me so much joy and happiness. And I know– I know that you love me unconditionally and it means the world. But I just got out of a marriage. And I’m trying to focus on myself and the kids and my career and– and my relationship to you. Thomas, I love you. I love you. I just– I’m not– I’m not ready for a forever commitment. I’m sorry, but I can’t be. I’m sorry.

Thomas: No.

Hope: I’m sorry, thomas, wait!

If you have chronic

kidney disease you can reduce

Finn: You don’t even have to ask. Of course, I’ll be there for luna, anytime she needs me. And even when she thinks she doesn’T.

Poppy: Thank you. No, really, that means a lot. Thank you.

Finn: No, and hey, I mean, you looked after me when I was her age. All the time we spent together, how close we became.

Poppy: Yeah, and look at us now, all these years later. You’re a brilliant doctor with a beautiful family and I have a grown up daughter with a mind of her own. And I miss the days when luna would take her lead from me.

Finn: You said that she’s always been curious about her father.

Poppy: Yeah, but I’ve always been able to steer her off that path. But, I don’t know, this time– this time feels different.

Finn: You know what, I think, just go with it. Respectfully, as luna’s cousin, I think it’s time that she finds out who her father really is.

Bill: When you find your dad, and I believe that one day you will, he’s going to be so happy and proud to call you his daughter. What? What– what– what did I say? I don’t want to upset you. You see, I’m– I’m just so clumsy.

Luna: No, no, no, you didn’t upset me. I mean, you did, but in a good way. Because you’re so kind and caring, and obviously I’m an emotional wreck right now, so…

Bill: Tell me what I can do. How can I help you without stepping on poppy’s toes?

Luna: I don’t know.

Bill: Well, if you think of something, don’t hesitate.

Luna: I really like you, bill. I mean, what if you were my father?

Bill: Well, among other things, you would be filthy rich.

Luna: Well, I’m kind of like my mom in that way. I don’t really care about money, so…

Bill: Ah, well, there you have it. You’re not my daughter.

Steffy: Thomas, what is it? What’s wrong?

Thomas: I– I don’t know. I was just– I was so excited. I was– I was so ready, I… knew what I wanted, and it didn’t happen.

Steffy: What didn’t?

Thomas: I’m such an idiot. I, uh, I asked hope to marry me again.

Steffy: And she turned you down again. Oh, god. I knew this was gonna happen, thomas. You don’t deserve any of this. I mean, she is bad news.

Thomas: I don’t get it. I don’t understand what I did wrong. Like, I– I gave her the ring. She’s– she’s been wearing it.

Steffy: She’s been wearing it as a necklace, thomas.

Thomas: I offered it to her and she didn’t refuse it. There was a potential for a future. She didn’t just reject it or something.

Steffy: Okay, thomas, thomas, this really has to stop, okay? You’re setting yourself up for heartbreak over and over again. Hope is never gonna give you what you want.

Thomas: Don’t say that.

Steffy: It’s true. And what she did just proves it. She claims to love you, but she’s never going to commit herself to you. So you need to let her go, okay? You need to move forward. Focus on the future without hope.

Days Opinions For The Week Of March 11, 2024

Opinion Article

 

by Michele & Cheryl

Tate and Holly from Days

Tate took the risk of going to see Holly so she could help clear his name. We get why he felt he needed to leave the rehab center to see her, but he shouldn’t have risked getting caught doing that. Did he really think no one was going to find him at the DiMera mansion? There was no way he was going to get away with seeing her without getting caught. He should have waited to see her.

Speaking of Holly, she was so selfish when she didn’t tell Nicole and EJ that Tate wasn’t the one who drugged her. She would rather have them think Tate drugged her instead of letting them know she wasn’t the saint they think she is. Holly was able to live with the fact that an innocent person was being punished for something she did. We don’t believe she doesn’t want to stress out Nicole. She’s looking out for herself.

Abe finally got his memory back this week. It was about time he got it back. We didn’t care for the way he got his memory back out of the blue. Lexie came to see Abe when Paulina was dying. After her visit, he suddenly got his memory back and Paulina was suddenly cured. We understand that the writers wanted us to believe that it was a miracle, but we didn’t buy it. They could have come up with a better way to have Abe and Paulina get their miracles.

What was the point of having Eli and Lani come back to Salem if they were going to write them off so soon? Why would Eli suddenly accept a promotion when he knows what his family is going through? He could have gotten his job back in Salem. The writers could have said Eli and Lani were staying temporarily. They didn’t have to have him accept a promotion.

Did the writers forget that Maggie has two children? When she and Konstantin were talking about her children, she only mentioned Sarah. She said she lost two children which means Melissa is still alive. Konstantin has no way of knowing about Melissa, so we didn’t expect him to mention her, but Maggie knows she has another daughter and forgot about her. Just because Melissa isn’t on the show anymore doesn’t mean she couldn’t mention her.

Days Update Friday, March 15, 2024

Days of Our Lives Update

 

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Harris goes to the police station where Jada questions what the hell he’s doing there instead of being on bed rest. Harris responds that he can’t just lay in bed and he has to find out how Clyde escaped prison. Jada informs him that there was a toxic spill and when all the prisoners had to evacuate, Clyde was missing. Jada declares that Clyde is on the run and they have no idea where the hell he is.

Brady and Theresa meet with Tate in the interrogation room. Theresa questions what Tate was thinking by breaking out of the halfway house and in to the DiMera Mansion. Tate argues that he had to see Holly and try to clean up this mess. Theresa complains that now it’s an even bigger mess, noting that he stole her phone. Tate apologizes and says he was desperate. Brady doesn’t think Tate understood how he screwed up here as he violated a legal mandate and could go back to jail. Tate gets that they are angry but complains that he was going out of his mind in the halfway house and he had to find out what Holly remembered. Brady says they are worried as he declares that what Tate did last night was a really bad move.

Nicole and EJ go to Holly’s room. Holly mentions hardly sleeping. Nicole understands she had a lot on her mind. EJ says they need to talk about Tate breaking in last night. Holly argues that he didn’t break in but EJ insists that he did. Holly calls it a big misunderstanding and complains that EJ didn’t have to have Tate arrested. EJ questions if he was just supposed to look the other way. EJ declares that he did what he had to do for Holly’s safety and the safety of their family. Holly argues that they are all safe and calls it ridiculous as she argues that he can’t send Tate to jail.

Steve goes to Marlena’s and they sit together. Steve hopes he didn’t alarm her at the Pub. Marlena asks what’s going on and what he has to tell her about John. Steve responds that it’s about his past as The Pawn.

At the Black Patch office, John complains that Konstantin has been messing with him ever since that night at the park a month ago. Konstantin informs him that their history did not begin there as many years ago, John tore his life apart. Konstantin then shows John a photo of his daughter, Catharina. John responds that he doesn’t know who it is which Konstantin finds very perplexing because he is the one who killed her.

Harris asks Jada if there’s any signs of Goldman. Jada says they don’t have good news on that either as she found out that she wiped out her bank account and they found her car abandoned outside of town but they are looking in to everything. Harris says Clyde had to have set this up because Goldman couldn’t have pulled this off on her own which Jada agrees with. Harris thinks Clyde will stay local to keep his eyes on his business and his people. Jada adds that aside from Goldman, they don’t know who else was helping Clyde. Harris thanks her for the update and says he has to get going. Jada tells him to get some rest as he exits the station.

EJ tells Holly that Tate broke the law and when you break the law, there are consequences. Nicole thinks EJ may be overreacting a bit and says that Tate and Holly are just teenagers and they make mistakes. Nicole calls it nothing compared to what they did at their ages. EJ argues that has no bearing on this situation. Holly argues that EJ doesn’t know Tate. EJ brings up Tate being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism. Holly calls that a stupid prank and declares that Tate is not a drug dealer and she knows he didn’t drug her. Nicole questions how she knows that if she doesn’t remember anything from that night. Holly insists that Tate would never do anything like that. Holly pleads with EJ not to send Tate to jail. EJ agrees to consider the options but says he’s not making any promises as he exits the room.

Marlena asks Steve what she doesn’t know about her husband’s past. Steve talks about being one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Steve states that under Victor’s orders, John was under his care as the Pawn and he was his handler until he went on the run and became John Black. Marlena says she’s aware of how he got his name and tells Steve to continue. Steve says they know what kind of guy he was back then and he still has a lot of shame that he carried out Victor’s orders and the unethical things he demanded of him. Steve informs Marlena that one day, Victor had a mission for them.

Konstantin tells John that he will tell him a story about him and Victor with Steve, his innocent daughter Catharina, and finally John, the Pawn.

Tate complains to Brady and Theresa that he had to go see Holly and all she had to do was tell EJ that the drugs weren’t his and he could come home. Theresa says they all want him to come home but he was doing so well. Tate asks what that even means and why she keeps saying stuff like that as if he belongs in the halfway house. Tate complains that it’s painful because he doesn’t need help. Tate says he didn’t do any of the drugs in Salem and he’s being railroaded for nothing. Brady points out that Tate did break in to the DiMera Mansion so all of this is snowballing in to a bigger mess. Brady says they all want Holly to know the truth, but breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Holly asks Nicole why EJ has to make such a big deal about this. Nicole agrees he’s being a little overzealous and says she will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail. Holly wants EJ to just stay out of it. Nicole points out that it is EJ’s house that Tate broke in to. Holly argues that it’s their house too. Nicole assures that EJ cares about her and is just looking out for her. Holly remarks that EJ isn’t her father and if he really cared about her, he’d back off of Tate. Holly insists that Tate is not who EJ is making him out to be as he’s always been really nice to her and swears that he was on New Year’s Eve too. Holly tells Nicole that she does remember that her and Tate were having a good time. Nicole wonders if she’s covering for Tate so he doesn’t get in any more trouble. Nicole questions if Holly just said Tate didn’t drug her to get EJ off her back. Nicole says it’s just her, so she can be honest. Nicole asks if Holly remembers more about that night than she’s telling her.

EJ goes to the living room where Harris is waiting. EJ asks what brings him by. Harris asks if he knows where Stefan is. EJ responds that he hasn’t seen him in days which Harris questions. EJ states that he does not keep tabs on his family members but he’s sure he’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually. Harris calls it a coincidence since he just came from the police station and was brief on Clyde’s prison escape and now Stefan has disappeared too. EJ questions what he is insinuating. Harris responds that he has a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison and he thinks EJ knows something about it.

Steve tells Marlena that this is part of his past that he’d just as soon forget but now he’s being forced to confront it. Steve informs her that Victor sent he and John to deliver a message and it was John’s first assignment of the Pawn. Steve adds that the message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Konstantin tells John that he and Victor were always fighting over power in Greece, so Victor sent his Pawn over to send him a message which was John.

Steve tells Marlena that the message was loud and clear to make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated, so they flew by private jet and then rode in to the small village of Aria. Steve states that they were there to find the man they know today as Konstantin Meleounis.

Holly tells Nicole that she doesn’t remember what happened on New Year’s Eve but she knows in her heart that Tate did not drug her. Nicole says she hears her loud and clear, so she will talk to EJ. Holly asks if she thinks EJ will change his mind. Nicole says she doesn’t know but she will do her best. Nicole asks if Holly is hungry for anything, so she asks for a grilled cheese. Nicole notes that Holly’s school teachers sent some homework and suggests they can look at colleges online together as she exits the room. Holly then puts her shoes and jacket on and hurries out of her room.

Tate tells Theresa and Brady that he’s a screw up and asks if they’re happy that he admits it. Theresa tells him that he’s not. Tate goes over getting kicked out of school and then sent to jail for drug pushing and that’s what the world thinks of him. Tate says his biggest mistake was not calling the cops when he found Holly. Brady knows this is all very confusing. Tate says he’s just angry and scared as he declares that his life is over. Brady tells him not to say that. Tate argues that they said he screwed up his future, so they think he’s a loser like everyone else. Theresa says he just made a mistake. Tate complains that making mistakes over and over again make him a loser. Brady says it makes him human.

EJ asks if Harris got brain damage and says he’s out of his mind. Harris questions EJ knowing nothing about Clyde’s escape. EJ reminds him that he’s the district attorney and repeats that he has no idea where Clyde or Stefan are. Harris accuses him of lying, reminding him that they already talked about the possibility of Stefan being in cahoots with Clyde. EJ says he already told him that he would throw the book at Stefan if that was the case. Harris doesn’t believe he was being transparent. EJ advises Harris to go work out there instead of harassing him and directs him to the door. Harris then informs EJ that he knows Stefan is working with Clyde. EJ questions how he knows that, so Harris then reveals that he knows Stefan is the one who shot him.

Marlena tells Steve that she thought Konstantin was a longtime friend of Victor’s. Steve says more like longtime rival which is why he and John know that he’s been conning Maggie and why they’ve been trying to get him to leave town. Marlena asks if he went to his house to persuade him. Steve confirms that Victor called and instructed him to watch outside for guards while John confronted Konstantin.

Konstantin tells John that he was sitting at his work bench, carving a figurine for his daughter when all of a sudden John burst in. Konstantin says they struggled and he never saw his face, only his eyes, which still haunted him to this moment. Konstantin admits that John got the best out of him and beat him unconscious.

Steve explains to Marlena that he heard a gunshot but he knew the Pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin so he rushed inside to see what happened. Steve recalls it being hard to see at first but then he saw John off to the side in a trance, holding the gun, then he spotted Konstantin face down on the floor, unconscious but still breathing. Steve reveals that then he saw a young girl lying next to him with blood pooled underneath her and he checked her pulse, but she was gone.

Konstantin tells John that when he woke up, John was gone, his door was open and his home was a wreck. Konstantin recalls getting to focus and seeing his daughter, Catharina on the floor, shot by John which leaves John shocked.

Nicole returns to Holly’s room to find she’s gone.

EJ tells Harris that he can’t be serious since they’ve charged Xander with his shooting and the evidence is stacked against him. Harris says that’s because Clyde and Stefan framed him and he’s starting to think EJ is in on it too. Nicole comes in and asks what’s going on. EJ says they are just talking shop and asks if there’s anything she needs. Nicole says she was just looking for Holly. EJ thought she was upstairs with her. Nicole explains that she went to make her lunch and when she went back, she was gone. EJ suggests checking the grounds or the garden and offers to go with her but Nicole says it’s fine and she’s sure she’s there somewhere. Nicole tells Harris it was nice to see him and exits the room. EJ tells Harris that he promises he’ll be the first to know when he sees Stefan, but he’s going to find his stepdaughter. Harris stops EJ and says they are not done here.

Holly goes to the police station and asks Jada if she can help her. Jada tells her it’s nice to see she’s doing better. Holly says she needs to speak with Tate. Jada says she’s sorry but that’s not going to happen because he’s in interrogation with his parents and is in police custody as he might be charged with another felony. Holly asks about him being in the interrogation room. Jada repeats that they can’t allow her to see him because he violated the terms of his release and broke in to her house last night. Jada also feels that Nicole doesn’t know she’s here so she’s going to call her.

Marlena asks Steve if he’s telling her that John killed the girl. Steve clarifies that he didn’t see it happen but feels it wasn’t hard to piece together. Steve reminds her that John was the Pawn at that time so he wasn’t considered human, more of a weapon or an assassin. Marlena recalls John’s training when he was younger. Steve says that made it appealing for any evil bastard to recruit him. Marlena asks if he thinks John meant to kill that girl. Steve says it could’ve been an accident but John’s brain had been reprogrammed, so maybe he snapped. Steve says he doesn’t know and all he knew at that moment was that the message was sent, mission complete, and the girl was dead, so he grabbed John and took off back to Salem.

Konstantin tells John that he held his daughter’s lifeless body in his hands, telling her memories of her childhood. Konstantin says she was the only thing in the world that mattered to him and his only reason for living. Konstantin adds that after her funeral, he developed another reason to go on as he plottted and planned to undermine Victor every chance he got. Konstantin reveals that he swore to himself that if he ever found the man that killed his daughter, he would make him pay, and now after all these years, he has finally found him.

Steve tells Marlena that he thought this whole thing was behind them, but then they confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie and he turned out to be the same man from Aria. Marlena points out that John’s face was covered when the girl was killed, so she asks how Konstantin could know. Steve reveals that he said it was his eyes. Marlena brings up that she was John’s doctor and trying to help him find his identity, so she questions why she’s just now hearing about this. Steve says in trying to keep the secret from John, he didn’t feel he could tell her either and apologizes. Marlena asks if Kayla knows. Steve confirms she doesn’t. Marlena asks how he’s been living with this all this time. Steve calls it a terrible memory that he kept buried and says there were times in his life when he didn’t know who he was either and the DiMeras wiped his memories from him. Steve wishes this whole thing had stayed in the past and that he could’ve protected his friend from the knowledge of what he did, but then Konstantin showed up in Salem and mentioned his hometown of Aria and it all unraveled from there.

Konstantin yells at John asking if he remembers now. John says he doesn’t but he always had a feeling in his gut. Konstantin hopes that feeling eats him alive. Konstantin declares that he will not rest until he gets his revenge. Konstantin remarks that John should’ve killed him but instead, he chose to murder his daughter in cold blood and for that, he will make him pay. Konstantin then storms out of the office.

EJ questions Harris detaining him in his own home and threatens to make one call to have him fired. Harris argues that only the police commissioner can do that and says if EJ tells him where Stefan is, he would go. EJ repeats that he doesn’t know and if he did, he would haul him in because talking to Harris is a colossal waste of time. EJ tells Harris again that Xander shot him, not Stefan. Harris responds that Stefan shot him and pulled the trigger. EJ asks what proof he has. Harris reveals that he is the eye witness because he saw Stefan shoot him.

Holly argues with Jada that she’s not a little kid and complains that Tate did nothing wrong in coming to see her last night. Holly shouts that she let him in. Brady opens the window from the interrogation room. Tate gets excited that Holly is there to see him. Nicole arrives at the police station and finds Holly, questioning what she was thinking. Theresa wants to go talk to Holly but Brady points out that Nicole has arrived. Holly tells Nicole that she came to see Tate because she needs to talk to him. Nicole says now is not the time. Holly questions when is the time. Nicole points out that Holly hasn’t been cleared to leave the house. Nicole thanks Jada for calling her and tells Holly they are going home now as she takes her out of the station, leaving Tate disappointed.

EJ question how Harris can prove he saw Stefan and not Xander. Harris responds that once he finds Stefan, he’ll have his proof. EJ calls it a ridiculous theory. Harris argues that he has his word and that means something as he’s a detective and a navy SEAL. EJ mocks Harris having his brain scrambled. Harris declares that he’s going to find Stefan and when he does, he’s going to take down every dirty bastard involved in this mess.

Brady states that was not a good move on Holly’s part. Theresa wishes she had a chance to talk to her though. Jada enters and announces that EJ has decided not to press charges. Brady asks if Tate can go back to the halfway house then. Jada confirms he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor so he can’t skip out again. Theresa assures that he won’t and that he won’t be there much longer. Tate hopes that Holly can come visit him but Jada tells him not to count on it as she reveals that EJ has also filed a restraining order so Tate is not to come within 100 yards of the DiMera Mansion or Holly.

Konstantin sits in the living room of the Kiriakis Mansion and has a drink. He looks at a photo of Catharina on his phone.

John goes home and stops outside the door as he tearfully looks at the photo of Catharina that Konstantin gave him while thinking back to Konstantin’s words. John starts to head inside but stops when he hears Marlena telling Steve that John had always been afraid that he had done unthinkable things in the past. Steve responds that the man who went to Aria with him was not John as the man they know today would never do something like that. Marlena says she knows that but he knows the truth would destroy him. John then comes in and questions Steve knowing and never saying a word to him but he told his wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?

Yeah, I can’t watch TV and sleep all day, I’ll go crazy. Not to mention, I need to know how The hell Clyde Wesson escaped from prison?

Okay, there was a toxic spill in one of the cell blocks. And so when all the inmates had to be evacuated to the yard, when the prison guard took a head count, Clyde was MIA.

So he’s on the run. And we have no idea where the hell he is.

What were you thinking, breaking out of the halfway house like that? And then breaking into the DiMera mansion. I mean, aren’t things bad enough already?

I had to talk to Holly. I had to try to clean up this mess.

Well, this is an even bigger mess now, isn’t it? And then stealing my phone.

I’m sorry, I was desperate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s obvious, Tate. But I don’t think you’ve understood how you’ve screwed up here. You’ve not only violated a legal mandate, you could go back to jail!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

Your new lawyer’s gonna have to work some real magic to stop that from happening.

Look, I get that you guys are angry, but don’t you get that I was going out of my mind stuck in that halfway house? I had to see what Holly remembers!

Your mom and dad being mad at you is the least of your concerns. We are worried. I’m not gonna sugarcoat this for you. What you did last night was a really bad move.

I’m sorry.

Good morning. Can we come in?

Well, um, you slept in, that’s good.

Hardly slept at all, actually.

Well, you’ve had a lot on your mind.

Holly, we need to talk about last night. about Tate breaking in.

He didn’t break in, okay?

Coming onto our property and climbing into your bedroom window in the middle of the night without anyone’s permission is the very definition of breaking in.

Look, this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong. You didn’t have to have him arrested.

Would you just have me look the other way? Holly, I did what I had to do. For your safety and the safety of this family.

I’m safe. We’re all safe. EJ, please. This is ridiculous. You can’t send Tate to jail.

Alrighty. There you go.

Thanks.

I, uh, I hope I didn’t alarm you coming up to the pub like that.

By the look on your face, I think I should be alarmed. What’s going on? What do you have to tell me about John?

It’s about his past. As the pawn.

Wait, What I did to you You gotta be kidding me because you’ve been messing with me ever since that night in the park over a month ago,

ah, yes But our history did not begin one month ago You see many years ago You tore my life apart Here, look at this.

Am I supposed to know who this is because I don’t?

You don’t remember her? I find that very perplexing.

I know. Why is that?

Because you are the one who killed her.

Okay, uh, Goldman, any signs of her?

I don’t have good news on that front either. Uh, we found out that she cleaned out her bank account, about 50 grand, and so there’s no likelihood of tracking her down via credit card spending either. And we found her car, it was abandoned on the outskirts of town.

Okay, any, uh, clues in her vehicle?

Nothing. She probably swapped out her car with another one.

Yeah, or she hopped on a bus or a train.

Yeah, we’re looking into all of that right now.

Yeah, but Clyde Weston, I can’t. There’s, he had to have set this up. Goldman could not have pulled this off on her own.

I agree. I have a bolo out nationwide and border patrol on both of them.

I, I think he’s gonna stay local.

Why do you think that?

I don’t know. I just think Clyde will stay in this area to keep his eyes on his business and his people.

Yeah, well, that’s another loose end as well. Aside from Goldman, we don’t know who else was helping him.

Right. Um, thanks for the update. I gotta get going.

All right, well, get some rest.

I don’t think so.

Holly, Tate broke the law. When you break the law, there are consequences.

Honey, honey, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Just Yes, sure. Tate shouldn’t have left the center, okay? But he just wanted to talk to Holly, for God’s sake. They’re just teenagers.

Teenagers are still accountable.

Yes, but they make mistakes. They act impulsively. I mean, it’s nothing compared to what I did when I was her age. Sure, you as well.

Our childhoods have no bearing on this situation at all, Nicole.

God, you act like Tate is Loki or someone.

What?

You don’t know him at all.

I do know that he was brought to Salem after being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism, causing five figures in damages.

That was a dumb mistake. A stupid prank, but he’s not a drug dealer and I know he didn’t drug me.

Honey, how do you know that if you don’t remember anything from that night?

I know! Because Tate would never do anything like that, Mom. EJ, please, don’t send him to jail. Please.

I’ll consider the options, but I’m not making any promises.

What do I not know? About my husband.

About his past.

Tell me!

Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Under Victor’s orders, John was in my care. He was the pawn, and I was his handler. Until he went on the run and became John Blair.

I’m aware of how he got his name. Go on.

Well, we both know the kind of guy I was back then. I still have a lot of shame knowing that I carried out Victor’s orders. Did those unethical things. He demanded of me. For money. So one day, Victor had a mission for us. For me and the pawn.

Let me tell you a story. Our story. About me and Victor Kiriakis. And the others were Steve Patch Johnson. And my beautiful, innocent daughter, Katarina. And finally you, the pawn.

What would you do? Dad? Mom? If you were stuck in some rehab facility, and Holly’s the only person that can get you out of that place. So yeah, I went to go see her. Alright. And all she had to do was tell her stupid stepfather that I had nothing to do with those drugs. And then I could have come home. I just want to come home.

Tate, we all want you to come home, but My God, you are doing so well!

Oh my God! What does that even mean? I was doing so well. Why do you keep saying stuff like that? Like, like I belong in that horrible place and like it’s actually helping me. Which it is not. It’s just painful because I don’t need that kind of help. I, I pulled a stupid prank at school in California. I admit it. But that’s it. All this crap about drugs in Salem, I didn’t do any of it. No. I’m being railroaded for a crime I did

DiMera mansion, son? Holly could have given me permission.

Did she?

Do you not understand what’s happening here? All of this snowballing into even a bigger mess.

We all want the truth, okay? We want Holly to tell the truth. But breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Why does EJ have to make such a big deal about this?

Well, I agree. He is Being a little overzealous about this whole Tate business. So I will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail

Okay, you have to mom.

Okay

She should just stay out of it Well, I mean it is his house that Tate broke into

it’s our house too mom

You’re right, but honey EJ cares about you and he’s just looking out for you

Yeah, well, he’s not my father. And if he really cares about me, he’d back off on trying to punish Tate. Because he’s a good person, Mom. Tate’s not who EJ’s making him out to be. He’s always been so nice to me, and he was really nice on New Year’s Eve. I swear. We were having a good time. That I do remember. And What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Well, I’m, I’m just wondering if you’re covering for him. So that he doesn’t get in any more trouble.

Oh my god.

Well, honey, you said he didn’t drug you. That night. And, I mean, did you just say that to get EJ off your back? Honey, look. It’s just me. You can be honest. Do you remember more about that night than you’re telling me?

Ah, Harold told me you were here.

Mr. DiMera?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the phone with my officer. What brings you by, detective?

Your brother, Stefan, you know where he is?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen him in a while. Days now, in fact.

Really?

I don’t keep tabs on my family members, detective. Though I’m sure I’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually, though it is a big house. He could be in another wing, for all I know.

Hmm, yeah. Well that’s, uh, that’s quite the coincidence. I just came from the station and was just briefed on Clyde Weston’s prison break and escape, and, uh, you know, he’s fallen off the map.

Yes, I heard about it. It’s infuriating.

And now I’m here looking for your brother, and he’s disappeared too.

What exactly are you insinuating, detective?

I don’t know. I just have a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison. And I think you know something about it.

This is part of my past. I’d just as soon forget. Now I’m, I’m being forced to confront it. Victor sent me and John to deliver a message. It was John’s first assignment as the pawn. The message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Victor and I were always fighting over territory in the Greek crime business. He sent his pawn over to deliver me a message.

No.

Oh yes, it was you.

The message was loud and clear. Make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated.

So John and I, Flew by private jet to Nafplion. And then rode east into Aria, a small village. We were there to find the man we know today to be Konstantin Melionis.

I told you, I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve, but I know in my heart Tate didn’t drug me. How many times do I have to say it?

Hey, honey, honey. I hear you loud and clear.

So you’ll talk to EJ?

I said I would.

Do you think he’ll change his mind?

Oh, I don’t know, but I will do my best, okay? So, are you hungry? Can I bring you something? Maybe grilled cheese? Okay, you got it. Oh, and uh, your school teachers sent some homework for you that I’ll bring after lunch. And maybe, if you’re up for it, we could look at some colleges online together?

Okay. College, college, I love you.

Thank you. I love you. I love you.

Fine. I’m a screw up. Are you happy? I admit it.

No, Tate, you are not a screw up.

No? Let’s see. First, I get kicked out of school, and then I get sent to jail for drug pushing.

You’re not a drug pusher.

No, but the world thinks that I am. My biggest mistake was not calling 9 1 1 as soon as I found Holly. Or even telling that cop the honest truth when she started shining that blinding flashlight in my face.

Dad, I know. All of this is very confusing. I get it. There’s nothing confusing about it, Dad. I’m just angry and scared. My life is over.

Buddy, don’t say that.

No, but it is. You just said that. You did. You said I screwed up my whole future. You think I’m a loser just like everyone else.

No, you are not a loser.

We don’t think you’re a loser. We just think that you made a mistake.

But if you make a mistake over and over and over again, doesn’t it make you a loser?

No. Son, it makes you human.

Oh my, I, I, I didn’t realize one could develop brain damage after being shot in the chest.

You’re out of your mind.

So you know nothing about Clyde Weston’s escape?

Let me remind you, Detective Harris, that I am the district attorney. Not only do I have zero knowledge of anything involving Clyde Weston, I have no idea where my brother Stefan is, as I already told you.

You’re lying.

Oh, for God’s sake. We already talked about the possibility of Stefan and Bean in cahoots with Clyde. And I told you I would throw the book at him if that turned out to be the case.

Yes, but I got a feeling that you weren’t completely transparent that day.

And I have a feeling that it is raining coconuts. Oh, whoops. Looks like we’re both wrong. Now I strongly advise you to spend your time out there going after an escaped felon rather than in here, in my home, harassing me. And when I see my brother,

or finally produce your brother,

The door’s this way.

I know Stefan’s working with Clyde.

And how the hell do you know that?

Because Stefan is the one who shot me.

Konstantin, isn’t that the name of the man who’s staying at Maggie’s house?

That’s right.

Well, I thought that he was a long time friend of Victor’s.

More like long time rival. That’s why John and I know that he’s been conning Maggie and why we’ve been trying to get him to leave town.

So you went to his house to persuade him?

Yes. And Victor called and instructed me to wait outside and watch for guards and such. Well, John confronted Konstantin.

I was sitting at my workbench carving a little wooden figurine for my Katerina when all of a sudden the door burst open and you came in. I thought that Victor would send someone. I tried to defend myself, and we struggled, and I never saw your face. Just your eyes, only your eyes that still haunt me to this very moment. Yes, you beat me and beat me. We struggled. You got the best of me. You beat me over and over until I lost consciousness. Then I heard a gunshot.

I knew the pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin. So I rushed inside to see what happened. It was hard to see at first. But then, I saw John off to the side. In a trance. He’s holding the gun.

Oh, dear God.

And I, I spotted Konstantin on the floor. Face down. Unconscious. But he was still breathing. Then I saw, a young girl lying next to him. Blood had pooled underneath her. I checked for a pulse. But she was gone.

When I woke up, you were gone. The door was open, my home was a wreck. When I finally could focus, I saw my daughter. My only child, my Katerina, on the floor, shot by you.

I’m back. I brought you chips with your grilled cheese. Polly, honey?

You can’t be serious.

We’ve charged Xander Cook with your shooting. The evidence is stacked against him.

Of course it is, because Clyde and your brother framed him, and I’m starting to think you’re in on this too.

Oh! Hey, what’s going on here?

Oh, we’re just talking shop. Is there anything you need, sweetheart?

No, not really. I was just looking for Holly.

Wasn’t she upstairs with you?

Well, she was, and I came down here to make her some lunch, and when I went back up, she was gone.

She’s probably just feeling cooped up. Check the, uh, check the grounds.

Uh, the garden. In fact, why don’t I come and help you?

No, gosh, that’s, that’s okay. I’ll find her. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. It’s nice to see you, Harris.

Well, detective, as soon as I see my brother, I promise you’ll be the first to know. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my stepdaughter.

Yeah, we’re not done here.

Hi. Can you help me?

Oh, Holly Jonas. Wow, it’s nice to see that you’re doing better and you’re up and about.

Thanks. Um, I need to speak with Tate Black.

Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Why not?

Well, for one, he’s in interrogation with his parents right now. And for another, he is in police custody and may be charged with another felony.

So, he’s in there?

We can’t allow you to see him, Holly. He violated the terms of his release. And he broke into your house last night. But he And I also have a feeling that your mom does not know you’re here. So, why don’t you have a seat and I’ll give her a call.

Are you telling me that John killed that girl?

I didn’t see it happen. I mean, it wasn’t hard to piece together though. Marlena, John was the pawn at that time. I mean, he, he, he wasn’t even, he wasn’t considered human. He was, he was more like a tool, a weapon. An assassin.

Yeah. Look, I know that John went to Winterbourne Academy when he was younger. I know that he trained there.

Yes. Which made it very appealing to anybody. Evil bastard at the time to recruit him.

But do you think that John meant to kill that girl? It could have been an accident.

I mean, John’s brain had been scrambled, reprogrammed. I don’t know, maybe he, maybe he felt threatened in some way. Maybe he snapped. I don’t know. All I knew at that moment was, the mission was complete. Message sent. And this poor young girl was dead. So I grabbed John, took off for Salem.

I held my daughter’s lifeless body in my hands, telling her of the memories of her child stories. The memories that we made are trips we took together. She was the only thing in this world that mattered to me. The only reason I had for living. And after her funeral, I, I developed another reason to go. I brought it in plant. To undermine Victor, every chance I got. And I swore to myself that if I ever found a man who killed my daughter, that I would make, make him pay. And now, after all these years, I have finally found. You.

I thought this whole thing was behind us. But then John and I confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie. Turns out to be the same man from Aria.

John’s face was covered when that girl was killed. How could Konstantin know?

He said it was his eyes.

Steve, I was John’s doctor. I was trying to help him find his identity. Why am I just hearing about this?

In trying to keep this secret from John, I just didn’t think I could tell you either. I’m sorry.

Does Kayla know?

No.

How have you been living with us all this time?

It’s a terrible memory. I kept it buried. And as you know, there were times in my life when I didn’t know who I was either. When the DiMeras had wiped my memories from me. Now, how I wish I didn’t. This whole thing had stayed in the past. I wish I could have protected my friend from the knowledge of what he did.
But then Konstantin showed up in Salem, and one of the times that John and I confronted him about Maggie, he mentioned his hometown of Aria. And it all unraveled from there.

Yes, yes, yes, John! Now do you remember?

I don’t remember! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. But damn it, I have always had this feeling in my gut.

I hope that feeling eats you alive! And as for me, I will not rest until I get my revenge. You know, you should have killed me that day, huh? But instead you chose to murder my daughter in cold blood and for that Make no mistake. I will make you pay

So now you’re detaining me in my own home Damn it, Michaels, I could make one call and have you fired.

The secretary cannot fire a detective, only the police commissioner can. Just tell me where Stefan is and I’ll go.

Oh, for the hundredth time, I don’t know. And if I did, I’d haul his ass down here because talking to you is a colossal waste of time. Face facts, Xander Cook shot you, not my brother.

Stefan shot me, he pulled the trigger.

And what proof do you have of that? There was an eyewitness at the crime.

That would be me. I saw Stefan shoot me.

I’m not a little kid, you know.

You’re a minor.

So that means I’m allowed no voice?

Not one that loud.

Listen, Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong when he came to see me last night. He didn’t break in. I let him in. Me. I did.

Okay, settle down.

I’m telling you the truth. Why won’t you just listen to me?

Holly. She’s, she’s here to see me.

Oh, my God, there you are. Honey, what were you thinking? I’ve been worried sick.

That’s it, that girl’s done enough. I’m gonna go talk to her right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nicole’s here.

I came to see Tate. I need to talk to him.

Honey, now is not the time.

Well, when is the time, Mom? When it’s too late?

You haven’t even been medically cleared to leave the house yet.

Oh, God.

Jada, thank you for calling.

Honey, we are going home. Now. I will send for someone to pick up your car later.

Thanks again, Jada.

Oh, you pulled that out of your ass. How can you prove you saw Stefan and not Xander?

Once I find your brother, you’re gonna have the proof.

You have nothing. This is a ridiculous theory.

Oh, I have my word. And that means something. I’m a detective and a Navy SEAL.

Whose brain has been scrambled so many times it could be served up with toast.

I will find Stefan. And when I do, I’m gonna take down every dirty bastard That’s involved in this mess.

That was not a good move on Holly’s part.

No, but I wish to hell that I had a chance to talk to her face to face.

Hey.

Hey. So, I have news from the DA’s office. EJ has decided not to press charges.

Thank God.

Okay, okay. So, he can go back to the halfway house.

Yes, he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.

So you can’t skip out again, Tate.

He won’t. He won’t.

And he’s not going to be there much longer.

And, uh, when Holly’s feeling better, maybe she can come visit me?

I wouldn’t count on it. The DA has also filed for a restraining order. You are not allowed within 100 yards of the DiMera mansion, Or Holly Jonas.

You chose to murder my daughter in cold blood!

John has always been afraid that he’d done unthinkable things in the past.

The man who went to Aria with me was not John, Marlena. The man we know today would never do something like that.

I know that. But you know as well as I do, that the truth would destroy him.

You knew?

John. My God.

You never said a word to me. But you told my wife.

Young & The Restless Transcript

 

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Claire: Victor went to make business calls after everything he went through last night?

Victoria: It’s the way he is.

Claire: Will he rest?

Victoria: Yeah, of course, when he’s ready. But no one can ever force him to do what he doesn’t wanna do.

Claire: He really is fearless, isn’t he? It’s not just for show. I mean, the way that he faced down jordan last night, and her gun, in that dark alley, and then offered himself up as her hostage?

Victoria: God only knows what she would have done to him if nick hadn’t shown up and tazed her.

Claire: Well, at least she’s locked in that dungeon that she meant for your father.

Victoria: It’s poetic justice in a way, don’t you think?

Claire: It is. I just– I don’t really know how to feel about him. Obviously, I’m relieved that he’s okay.

Victoria: But?

Claire: But I know I shouldn’t care and I don’t understand why I do. But victor wouldn’t leave her locked up in that basement indefinitely. I mean, it’s just until he can contact the authorities and they’ll take her into custody, right?

Kyle: Thanks for coming. It was nice to meet you. We’ll be in touch. Well, I guess we can cross nanny contender number five off our list.

Summer: Honestly, I feel really bad for her. She was nice. She was well-qualified. Lovely with harrison.

Kyle: Even when he just sat there pouting and scowling at her.

Summer: When he bothered looking at her at all. I wish we knew when linda was gonna come back. She and harrison are such great buddies.

Kyle: Yeah, from what she’d said about her mother’s surgery, it doesn’t sound like we can expect her back anytime soon.

Summer: So, what do we do? Just keep having the agency send us potential new nannies for harrison to be grumpy about? I mean, we both know what the actual problem is, since he keeps on saying the same thing after every interview.

Kyle: Why can’t mommy just come home?

Sally: Wow. Did I just tell you to fight harder for what you have? That was really presumptuous of me. I have a tendency to blurt. Sorry.

Audra: No, no, no. No, it’s okay. Don’t be. It looks like you’ve done your share of fighting for relationships in your life. You know, and I appreciate your strong take on how I should handle this mess that I’m going through with tucker.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. It’s just hilarious. I’m sorry that me, of all people, is actually giving relationship advice.

Audra: That means you’re no newer at this than I am. Good to know. You know, I– I’m usually pretty decisive. But now, I’ve been going back and forth between should i fight for tucker or should i walk away more times than I can count?

Sally: Yeah, been there done that, believe me. At some point, if you have like a spare month or two, I can give you the whole adam newman versus nick newman story.

Audra: I look forward to hearing that. You know, but in the meantime, fight for him might be exactly the advice I needed to hear at exactly the right time.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. But seriously, consider yourself warned. I’m not always right.

Audra: Thanks for listening, sally.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Anytime.

Audra: That goes for you, too.

Adam: Sally spectra and audra charles alone together at the same table. Wow, this is a little, uh…

Sally: Surprising?

Adam: I was gonna say scary, but okay, surprising’s fine. I, uh, didn’t even know the two of you knew each other.

Sally: We’ve met, but we’ve never really had a conversation.

Audra: Yeah, until now. And it turns out it was long overdue.

Adam: Yeah? Why is that?

Sally: Well, you wouldn’t believe how much audra and i have in common.

Tucker: Uh, no, no.

Ashley: Oh, what?

Tucker: What am I doing here? This is not working. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: Well, I have to disagree. I mean, on my side of things, I think that kiss was working quite well, and I hate to tell you, but from your side of things, I think it was working quite well, too.

Tucker: I don’t know what’s going on with you.

Ashley: You want me to clarify?

Tucker: Stop. Ashley, listen, listen to me.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Just listen to me.

Ashley: Mm-hmm?

Tucker: Uh… no matter how I look at this, it’s problematic. Um…

Ashley: It’s problematic?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. Like, in what world is any of this a downside? Like, where’s the downside to this? Tell me.

Tucker: Well, if you’re actually just setting me up for something, you can forget about that because, of course, I’m not gonna fall for it. If, however, you are going through something, if you’re dealing with something here, emotional or– or psychological.

Ashley: Oh, boy.

Tucker: I would feel remiss if I didn’t try to help you in any way I could, but you’d have to be honest with me first.

Ashley: Maybe there’s a third option.

Tucker: Which is?

Ashley: I’m being 100% sincere. I’m trying very, very hard to give you exactly what you said you’ve been wanting all along.

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Come on.

Tucker: No, I’m sorry. I don’t believe you. I can’T. You’re either lying to me or you’re lying to yourself.

Ashley: I’m not lying to myself.

Tucker: Yes, you are. As long as it’s one or the other, I can’t help you.

Adam: You know, come to think of it, of course you two have a lot in common. I mean, two high-powered businesswomen, both of whom were fired from newman media for doing absolutely nothing to deserve it. I mean, if that is not worth bonding over, I don’t know what it is.

Sally: Do you want to hear another one?

Adam: I would love to.

Sally: Audra and I are both involved with complicated men who aren’t exactly popular or appreciated in genoa city.

Audra: Yeah, or in several other cities for that matter, but let’s not go there.

Adam: Well, I don’t think I’m comfortable being compared to tucker mccall.

Audra: I wasn’t trying to insult you, adam. Okay, I’m just saying that the two of you are… complicated.

Adam: Okay, well, I can’t argue with that. But after going head-to-head with tucker mccall, I still think we’re very different animals.

Audra: Yeah, very.

Sally: Okay, excuse me. Audra and I were kind of in the middle of bonding, so…

Adam: You know what? You’re right. I don’t have any business interfering, so just forget what I said.

Sally: Consider it forgotten.

Audra: Uh, you know what? I have to head back to the athletic club. Adam.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Thank you so much, um, for your advice. I’ll definitely consider it.

Sally: Keep me posted.

Audra: Yeah, you’ll be the first to hear.

Adam: So, what was the advice about?

Kyle: What’s the chance that harrison’s playing us?

Summer: I was just thinking the same thing.

Kyle: He probably thinks that if he rejects every candidate for the nanny position, he’ll force the issue, and then mommy has to come home, right?

Summer: I’ll bet that is his plan. I swear, he is as smart and as stubborn as his father. And, you know, I get it. I– I miss him, too. But we can’t let him take control over the situation, either.

Kyle: No, without a doubt. I mean, this is hardly the first time that he’s made it clear he wants his mommy to come home. He talks about it all the time.

Summer: What do you tell him?

Kyle: Well, I reassure him that just because his parents aren’t together and his mother has a new place to live, that she’ll always love him and be there for him.

Summer: Thanks for that. And it’s true on both counts.

Kyle: Unfortunately, that doesn’t satisfy him. So, I have to remind him that even if his mother were to move home, she still has a very successful and busy career, just like daddy does. And that he needs someone to pick him up after school and be here for him while we’re working.

Summer: Well, I mean, we both know that my moving back here is not an option. And harrison’s clearly going to be very resistant to any potential nannies that we introduce him to.

Kyle: Yeah, if I remember correctly, though, it took him some time to warm up to linda.

Summer: Right, because she was wearing boring socks.

Kyle: But now he loves her. Okay, that brings us back to our original bottom line. We can’t let him manipulate us. We have to make it clear to him that this is our choice and not his.

Summer: The choice should be relatively easy ’cause we’ve met some great candidates already, but we’ve gotta remember that harrison is the one that’s gonna be spending the most time with them, so… let’s at least give him a vote.

Kyle: Okay, fair enough. But as long as we make it clear to him that not liking someone because they have boring socks is not an option.

Harrison: Mom! Schwarzkopf

Summer: Hey, what happened, sweetie?

Kyle: Yeah, did you have a bad dream?

Summer: Is that right? You had a bad dream?

Kyle: What was it about?

Harrison: A lady I didn’t know came and took me away.

Summer: That sounds really scary. But hey, look, it was just a bad dream. It wasn’t real. You’re safe. You always will be, okay?

Kyle: We’d never let anyone come in here and take you away from us. You know that, right?

Summer: Hey, is this ’cause linda’s out of town and we’ve got to find you a new sitter?

Kyle: Harrison, I know it’s hard, but we need someone to pick you up after school and take you to all the fun lessons and things you like to do.

Summer: And we promise we’re gonna find somebody really nice, okay?

Harrison: If you can’t stay, I want the older linda or no one.

Kyle: Um… hey, I know something that’ll make all this better. Three things. Number one, we don’t talk about anymore linda’s the rest of the day.

Summer: You know what? I told your dad and I’m gonna tell you, you two are just as stubborn as each other. What’s number two.

Kyle: Number two is we go check out the bookstore. I hear they have a new… uh, what’s it called?

Summer: The one with the kid that, uh, time jumps. I cannot wait to read that with you.

Kyle: Yes, and number three, we head from there to crimson lights to get some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

Summer: Yeah, well, it’s gotta be marshmallows, right, harrison?

Kyle: Of course. What’s the point of hot chocolate without marshmallows, right? Yeah, mm-hmm. For all three of us.

Summer: Yeah, all three of us.

Victoria: Dad is– he’s tough. He’s not cruel. He knows what he’s doing. He wouldn’t leave her or anyone else to rot in some godforsaken basement.

Claire: Even if he thought they deserved it?

Victoria: Even then.

Claire: He really would do anything for you all, wouldn’t he?

Victoria: My father would do anything to protect his family, which now includes you, his granddaughter.

Claire: Nikki and victor newman’s granddaughter. That’s me. It’s who I am. I have parents and aunts and uncles and cousins. And jordan’s not out there creeping around anymore. Are we really all safe finally?

Victoria: We really are. There’s nothing that jordan can do to hurt anyone. You know, we were all so scared for such a long time, but now it’s over. It’s over. It’s kind of unbelievable, isn’t it?

Claire: You mean we… can come and go as we please and we don’t have to look over our shoulders every second? And we don’t have to run for cover every time we hear a strange noise in the house?

Victoria: Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Claire: So could we…

Victoria: Could we…

Claire: Go somewhere? It doesn’t have to be anywhere fancy. It’s just… I was at the jail and then the hospital and now here not being able to go anywhere. It’s just– the thought of going out into the world around people out from under this dark cloud. It’s been a long time. My whole life, really.

Victoria: Yes.

Claire: Seriously? You think it’s a good idea?

Victoria: I think it’s a great idea.

Sally: That was a nice surprise. I might have just found a new friend. And let’s face it, I do not have many of those.

Adam: Sally. Proceed with caution.

Sally: You do realize who you’re talking to, right? If I knew the first thing about proceeding with caution…

Adam: You and I, we would not be together. Okay, point taken. All right, well, let me be more specific. Proceed with caution where audra charles is concerned.

Sally: Why would you say that? I like her.

Adam: She’s probably not my biggest fan. After all, I’m the one that passed along the incriminating emails that the abbotts used to tank tucker and she could have easily ended up collateral damage.

Sally: Okay, but what does that have to do with my being friends with her?

Adam: Because she might have an agenda.

Sally: Or… we might just get each other.

Adam: Will you please just be careful about sharing information that she might be probing for? It’s pretty safe to say that anything she hears about me from you is gonna get straight back to tucker.

Sally: Okay. But don’t sell her short. I mean, she’s pretty savvy. You know, I’m sure that she can recognize a well-played business move when she sees one and she might even respect you sharing emails with the abbotts when they thought that tucker was plotting to take over jabot. And honestly, I did not get the sense that she was seeking any kind of payback.

Adam: Okay, well then what was the advice that she thanked you for on the way out?

Sally: It was personal. It was about a relationship issue that she’s been dealing with that had absolutely nothing to do with you, surprising as that may be.

Adam: Okay, well now that we’ve straightened that out, how about we change the subject? Because I actually, I tracked you down for a reason.

Sally: Is… is it about your dad?

Adam: Uh, no. Actually, I’m happy to report he’s home. I mean, he’s exhausted, but he’s safe and sound.

Sally: Adam, that’s great. I know that you’ve been really worried about him.

Adam: Yes, I have been. And it’s a relief that I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I mean, until something else comes up with him.

Sally: Okay, and connor? Any updates?

Adam: So, chelsea and I, we have another session with dr. Alcott today. And I wanted to let you know before I leave.

Sally: Well, look, I know it’s a lot, but… I mean, hopefully that means progress. You know, maybe it will alleviate some of your concerns.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, it might add to them. I gotta say, chelsea and I feel pretty helpless. And connor’s very confused.

Sally: You’re doing all the right things, adam. You did not have the help you needed as a kid, and it changed your whole life. You are being the best parent that you can be.

Tucker: Ah, let’s go bourbon. Neat. Double.

Ashley: Oh, god, it’s you again. Why don’t you just give up? You don’t have a chance. I’ve got him right where I want him.

Tucker: What did she say to you just now?

Audra: That she has you right where she wants you. What the hell would make her think that, tucker?

Tucker: She kissed me again and… she thinks it meant something. I would’ve called yesterday.

Tucker: Whatever is going on with ashley, it is not good.

Audra: Tell me the truth. Did you return the kiss?

Tucker: No, I pulled back and said, “not happening.” And it’s not.

Audra: You sure about that?

Tucker: Audra, can we not– let’s not have this conversation right now, please.

Audra: I think we need to.

Tucker: I don’t think we need to. I think we’ve talked about ashley more times than I care to count. Everything that woman does just feeds your suspicions.

Audra: Because everything she does is suspicious, tucker. What– what do you expect me to do?

Tucker: Ignore her.

Audra: Yeah, just the same way you’re ignoring her? You know, I walked through the door and there she is, in my face.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m sorry. And I wanted to say I’m sorry about earlier. And you’re sweet, I– I didn’t mean all that. And I shouldn’t have just stormed out. I apologize.

Audra: You know, if we were on a jet to paris right now, she would be the furthest thing from my mind. But instead, we are here and i am getting blindsided by your ex-wife looking rather pleased with herself. You know, can I ask you something else?

Tucker: Mm-hmm?

Audra: What did she say to you before that damn kiss?

Tucker: She said… now, you see, that’s what I’m talking about. It doesn’t make any difference what she said. In her state, it doesn’t matter what she says or does. It means nothing. And I’m trying so hard right now to let all this go. Audra, I really am. Can you?

Audra: I will if she will. But when your ex-wife tells me I don’t stand a chance and that she has you right where she wants you, I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to react. I don’t know what I’m supposed to think.

Tucker: Just think of the bigger picture here. I think she’s suffering some kind of severe psychological break. She is not herself. She needs help.

Adam: I’m not even sure there is a sure-fire solution for what connor’s going through. I mean, the more that I read about ocd, the more overwhelmed that I feel. Apparently, very few professionals even know what it is. And it can go unrecognized for years.

Sally: Well, then it is a good thing that the people at connor’s school did recognize it.

Adam: Yes, I am grateful for that. I mean, assuming that it makes a difference.

Sally: An early diagnosis can make a big difference.

Adam: God, I hope so. Ah, I gotta get going. I’m grabbing some things for connor that he asked for. Just, um, comfort stuff that he said he needed. I want to make sure to get it to him before our session to see if it eases his mood.

Sally: Okay, we’ll keep me posted. And please try and stay positive, okay? Connor is a good kid with a great dad who is so ready to do whatever it takes to help him, okay? Just keep reminding yourself of that, will you, please?

Adam: Thank you for that. And for always being right there with your support. I love so much that you’re back in my life.

Sally: You know that little exchange that we had earlier when you took off to the ranch?

Adam: Of course. But that was a rushed moment. And I mean, I was a wreck and you were trying to help me through it, so don’t worry. I will not hold you to that.

Sally: Yeah, well, I was as surprised as you were at how easily it just slipped out. But you know what? Please, hold me to it. Because it wasn’t just a momentary slip of the tongue to make you feel better in a rushed moment. I… I mean it. I do. Love you.

Adam: I do, too. Love you. Want the power of 5 serum benefits in 1?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

Ashley: I don’t like this. This is gonna make things worse. I don’t think we should trust you. You don’t really have a choice. You have to be stopped! I– I think I do! I– I need to takeover.

Audra: Forgive my lack of compassion, but that perfectly poised, incredibly sure-of-herself woman who just verbally assaulted me over there didn’t exactly strike me as a psychological wreck.

Tucker: And your point is?

Audra: My point is that you want a reason to sympathize with her to humor her. You know, that performance she’s putting on is to reel you back in. Hello?

Tucker: And you think I’ll just be reeled back in because I’m, uh, a sucker? I have no judgment about this.

Audra: Maybe you just want to play hero or something.

Tucker: Oh, god. I couldn’t play hero in this situation even if I wanted to. She might hide it well in public, but I can read ashley like a book that I’ve memorized. She needs professional help.

Audra: You know, if you’re not qualified to diagnose her, let alone help her, what makes you so sure she needs psychological help? Based on what, some look you saw in her eyes last night?

Tucker: Yes, the look I saw in her eyes last night, the way she’s been acting, her distorted memory of what happened between us in paris. That is not the woman I fell in love with.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: Past tense, audra.

Audra: I am so stupid.

Tucker: What? What now?

Audra: I’m just thinking, what the hell is wrong with me? I– I can’t believe I allowed myself to get into this vulnerable position with you again. I– like what am I doing?

Tucker: Come here. Listen, I adore you. I want the world with you. What’s going on with ashley is a completely separate issue.

Summer: So right here.

Kyle: All right, I’m gonna put our order in.

Summer: Okay.

Victoria: So, how are you doing? Are you ready for this?

Claire: Ready as I’ll ever be. It’s really weird being back out in the world like a normal person.

Victoria: Well, that’s because you are normal. And after everything you’ve been through, I mean, you’re better than normal. If you want to go, though, we can go.

Claire: No. I’m gonna have to do this sooner or later. I can’t hide for the rest of my life. Besides, I used to come here when I worked for your mom. And I was pretending to be normal. I like it here. Look, no one’s even staring at me. It’s kind of exhilarating.

Victoria: Yeah. Now, listen, um, I know we said we would take this slow and you can say no if you’re not ready for it, but since we’re here, how would you like to say hello to one of your new family members? I’m adding downy unstopables to my wash.

Victoria: Summer.

Summer: Aunt victoria.

Victoria: Hi. Oh, so good to see you.

Summer: I’ve been so worried about you. How are you doing?

Victoria: I’m better. Thank you. Summer, I wanted you to meet my daughter, claire. Claire, this is summer. She’s nick’s daughter.

Summer: I– I heard some of the story from my dad. And I read in the paper that victoria and cole’s daughter was alive, but this is…

Victoria: It’s a miracle.

Summer: Exactly, I mean, this has got to be so overwhelming for you.

Claire: It’s a lot. But it’s also really nice. I was just saying to victoria– mom. That it actually feels kind of normal, if that makes any sense.

Summer: Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I mean, if there is anything normal about being a newman. But I think that you’ll like it when you get used to it. Welcome to the family, cuz.

Claire: Thank you, cuz.

Summer: Oh, this is my stepson, harrison.

Claire: Hey, harrison. It’s so nice to meet you.

Summer: Unfortunately, he’s not in a great mood today.

Claire: That’s okay. I have those days all the time. Hey, what are you drawing? Is that a squirrel? Do you know how to get a squirrel to like you? Act like a nut. So you like squirrels.

Summer: And ducks. He likes ducks.

Claire: Oh, ducks are really cool. Ah, but they’re gone now, huh? Well, that’s okay. They always come back. They just go south for the winter. Do you know why? It’s too far to walk. I know, I’m hilarious.

Victoria: Where are those jokes coming from?

Claire: There were some excellent books in the kids ward.

Victoria: Oh.

Claire: I have about a million knock-knock jokes too.

Summer: Oh, you are gonna get along great with my dad. He is the king of stupid dad jokes.

Claire: Nick has a silly streak. I had no idea.

Victoria: Just wait until you see him dance.

Summer: Ooh.

Claire: Well, I will have a ton more jokes for you the next time I see you. That’s a promise.

Victoria: See, I told you. You really do have a way with children.

Kyle: What’s going on here? Oh, wait a second. Where did harrison’s scowl go?

Summer: Oh, I think he misplaced it once claire showed up.

Harrison: Claire’s funny.

Kyle: Oh, apparently so. Hi, I’m kyle abbott.

Claire: Claire grace.

Kyle: Well, it’s a pleasure to finally meet a stranger who makes my son smile.

Tucker: Ashley is no threat to you, audra. None. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that.

Audra: Just once, if you meant it.

Tucker: Okay, you want to know what ashley said to me before she kissed me? She repeated her offer to give me everything that I claimed I ever wanted. All I had to do was say yes. I had to give up the notion that she had a problem. I had to dump you, of course. Uh, and get back together with her. There it is, all laid out before me, mine for the taking. And where am I? In here and where am I in here? With you. You, exactly where i want to be. What’s going on with ashley has nothing to do with love. Has nothing to do with romance. It has to do with wanting to help someone I care about. Doing the right thing, which, as you know, is not my forte. But I swear to god, that’s all this is.

Audra: You really can’t see it, can you?

Tucker: See what?

Audra: That she’s sucking you back in.

Tucker: No, she’s not sucking me back in.

Audra: You know, you went from telling me that we are a team, a power couple destined to be together to essentially telling me she’s an option.

Tucker: No, that is not what I’m telling you. I’m telling you that’s what she claimed.

Audra: You know, I was talking to someone today who advised me to fight for us. But I can’t fight this. Especially when I’d be fighting all on my own.

Tucker: Wait a minute.

Audra: Good luck. Let go!

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Chelsea: Connor, I know you’re bored, but it shouldn’t be much longer. Dr. Alcott will see us in a few minutes.

Adam: Hey, buddy, I brought that stuff that you wanted from home.

Chelsea: Thanks, dad. That’s awesome. Should we see what’s in the bag?

Adam: Yeah, I made sure to pack that hat that you wanted. You wanna put it on? Okay. Well, I have a better idea. How about you tell us what’s going on? Look, there’s probably a lot going on in your head right now, and that’s gotta be stressful, but your mom and I are ready to listen, so whatever you want to say.

Connor: I hate this. I hate the doctor. I hate being here. I hate myself.

[ Knock on door ]

Audra: Go away.

Tucker: Audra, I just have one thing to ask you. It’s a crucial question. Please.

Audra: What is it?

Tucker: Well, you said that you’re done with me. I just want to know what you mean by that exactly.

Audra: What part of I’m done are you struggling with?

Tucker: Are you done with everything? Or just me? You’re done with me? Okay. Well, what about everything else? What about glissade? I hope we’re not going to let ashley ruin that for us, too.

Kyle: So you two are cousins, but you never knew each other existed. I mean, it seems impossible. And yet…

Victoria: It’s a dream come true.

Kyle: I mean, to have that amazing loss, and then… it’s incredible.

Summer: With a whole family who can’t wait to get to know you.

Claire: And same to you. Harrison, is this for me?

Victoria: Aw.

Claire: Aw, that’s gorgeous. I love it, thank you.

Kyle: Oh, hey, buddy. Come here.

Ashley: Hey. Hi, you guys.

Kyle: Hey, ashley.

Ashley: Hi. How’s kindergarten? Oh, wait. What grade are you in? I cannot believe how big you are. I mean, pretty soon you’re going to be bigger than your dad. So cute.

Kyle: Everything all right, ashley?

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is now. Yeah. Anyway, I wish I could stay and chat to this one, especially, but I’m going to get a cocoa. And then, you know, I gotta run. Okay, I’ll see you guys. Bye.

Kyle: See you later.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Ashley: Hey, bro. What’s up?

Billy: Hey, sis. Everything okay?

Summer: I’m going to do some digging. See if I can come up with the parts of the story that victoria didn’t share with us and we’ll go from there.

Jordan: Oh, oh, thank god.

Nikki: Sorry to burst your bubble, jordan, but this isn’t a rescue party.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ok yes. Hello. This is dr. Portia robinson. I’m trying to locate a dr. Paul braddock. Okay. I’ll hold. Dr. Robinson, you wanted these test results right away? I can take over. Uh, thank you, sarah. You sure? Okay. Yes, yes. I’m here. Yes, I understand dr. Braddock has retired, but he was part of the med-psych education faculty. Shouldn’t you be able to reach him? Thank you for looking into it. You can call me back at this number. Well, I guess I was being a little overconfident, thinking we could just drive down to maryland and get answers. This dr. Braddock, he’s hard to find. We’ll track him down eventually, and then we’ll find out why he misdiagnosed you with schizophrenia. Okay, now, go on. What, are you trying to get rid of us now? Well, do you or do you not have physical therapy? I do. All right, well, get to moving. Best not to argue with the lady. No, no, we probably won’t argue. Bye, aunt stella. See you. Thank you for this. You know, that’s the third time you’ve said that. Well, you’ve got better things to do than proofread my copy. No, I’m happy to, dad. Unfortunately, my keyboard aim isn’t what it used to be. Yeah, I can tell. What — what’s that supposed to be? Uh, “went about his way.” Yeah. Yeah, no, that makes a lot more sense now. Yeah. You know, I can retype this for you, dad. Oh, no. It’ll take me two minutes. It’ll take much longer than that, and you’re a busy man. My son, the doctor. No. Uh —

[ Knock on door ] Yeah. Come on in. Hi, finn. Hi.Hey. What can I do for you? I just got the radiology report from heather webber’s mri and angiography. Mm. Oh, I think this is my cue to make my exit. Thank you. Fourth time’s the charm?

[ Chuckles ] I just can’t help myself, I guess. No. Good to see you. You, too. I take it there’s something interesting in the report? You could say that. Nina: Un. Believable. Thank you. Oh. You didn’t mean that as a compliment. Far from it, alexis. That follow-up piece you put in today’s paper about the incident on the docks? Yeah. What about it? Well, it was an outrage, that’s “what about it.” Well, like you said, I ran the piece. I didn’t write it. So? So, that’s how it works in local news. I understand how it works, alexis. But it was a smear job on sonny. And — can — can you pay attention? Sonny knows that I am publishing this newspaper, and the last thing I want is to antagonize him. Then quit. Better yet, why don’t you run the paper and stop antagonizing me?

[ Gasps ] I’m gonna break her kneecaps. Whose kneecaps? Did I say that out loud? No.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Ah, D.A. Scorpio. Just the man I wanted to see. Kevin: Can you state your full name for me? Heather grant moore taylor — no, baker, then taylor — all right, all right, maybe that wasn’t a fair question. I — webber. How about this? What’s today’s date?

[ Scoffs ] March something. March something? Yeah, well, they’re all — the days are just blending together. Who’s our president?

[ Sighs ] The guy with the — with the aviators. I can’t focus! Don’t you understand? It’s too painful to look at him. All I can see is his brother. I wish I could report that heather is in her right mind, but — hey. Pfft. Sane or not sane, I don’t really give a damn. She’s being transferred today. Look, I’d be thrilled to see the last of heather webber, believe me, but unfortunately, she’s not going anywhere. See?


Can you hand me another box? No. Please? No. I’m not going to help you do the very thing that I don’t want you to do and the thing that doesn’t even have to happen. Joss, we’ve been over this. Yes, and it still makes no sense. You love it in port charles. I do. And you love me. Even more. Then how can you leave? I would ask you to come with me, but I know you need to stay close to your family. Yeah. I need my family, and they need me, but… I need you, too. I’m not joking, nina. Why don’t you run the invader the way you see fit and leave me out of it? But you can’t, can you? ‘Cause you don’t know how to edit a newspaper. Nor do I have any desire to. Then let me do my job. Here you go. Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were in with someone. Ooh, what does she have you writing? Nina! Call it quality control. I don’t want tomorrow’s paper bearing any resemblance to today’S. That is psychotic, let alone obsessive. It’s an article on the police department outreach to kids ages 8 to 14. Scandalous. Uh, they do field trips, athletics, arts and crafts. My son chase is one of the volunteer officers. Oh. “Oh.” Uh — it’s highly unprofessional. I mean, look at this, with all the red marks, the cross-outs, the typos? I mean, please. And why didn’t you electronically submit this? You know something? If you want the edition out by tomorrow, you need to get out of my office. Right now. Out! Whatever. “Whatever.”

[ Sighs ] These are heather’s mri images. Uh, what are we looking at exactly here? Well, this is the reason she isn’t getting discharged today, not in this condition. Okay, while I love a good guessing game, I have a feeling I’m not needed here, so good luck. I think I’m going to need it.[ Chuckles ] Oh, dr. Enoch, thank you so much for making the time. Oh, the co-chief calls, I answer. Can somebody please tell us what’s going on? Um… you can actually speak in front of mayor collins. She holds heather webber’s healthcare proxy. I do? That’s what the paperwork says. Dear god — I suppose I might be the nearest thing she has left to family. Scary thought. Terrifying. Uh, look, um, can we get back to the matter at hand? I have citizens to protect. Ah. See these orbs of brightness? They suggest metallosis, specifically cobalt poisoning. And how do you get that? Fractured or slowly degrading hip replacement hardware. So heather’s hip replacement is poisoning her? Well, to confirm, we’ll need blood tests, a tox screen, and a panel for heavy metals. Already ordered. But that’s the working theory, yes. The syndrome’s accompanied by a spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms. To that end, have you noticed any changes, however subtle, in heather’s behavior in recent years?


Physical therapist: Good. Good. As you get stronger, we can increase these exercise weights. This is going to help your quads and hamstrings. And we’re all for that, aren’t we, son? How many reps, doc? Well, as many as you can tolerate, as long as you’re pain level doesn’t go above a three.

[ Grunting ] Okay. I know you have other patients. Do you mind if I stay at it for a minute? Uh, you keep an eye on him? Oh, absolutely. All right, go for it. Thanks. All right. Yeah.

[ Grunts ] There you go. Come on. Thanks for staying, dad. You know, I love it. Watching you work so hard. I’m proud of you, son. Well, I’m proud of you. I mean confronting dr. Braddock when I know you had reservations. Oh. [ Chuckles ] That. Well, have you thought about what you’re going to say to him when you’re finally face to face? Curtis, if he’s the same psychiatrist I remember, it won’t be anything nice. Hey, it’s dr. Finn. Anything on those orders dr. Robinson put through? Great. Thanks. Finn: Heather’s test results should be in. Oh, let me look them up. Okay. Here we go. Mm. My preliminary diagnosis is confirmed. Melatonin?

[ Sighs ] Metallosis. So, what now? Well, the failing hip that’s poisoning the patient needs to be replaced immediately. Well, can’t the federal pen at the women’s division do it? Robert. Well, c-come on. She’s a homicidal maniac. Yes, but now we’re learning that there may be a medical reason for that. She’s always been a bit loony. Yes, loony, right. I mean, she did crazy things, like, I don’t know, once, she tried to give somebody lsd, and she ended up drinking it herself, you know? She’s not a murderer. She is definitely not a serial killer. I mean, that’s just… new. Portia: Look, I’m not a fan of heather webber, but this is about human suffering. I checked with dr. Randolph, and she agrees with me. If we fail to treat heather webber, we could be opening ourselves up for an investigation, possible liability. Oh, we have got to let this go, robert, I mean, especially if it poses a risk to the hospital. Right. To think I missed breakfast in bed because of this.

[ Telephone rings ] Dr. Robinson here. Can you say that again? Thank you for getting back to me. Well, I’m glad to know that we’re still good at that. Did you think we wouldn’t be? No, it just — it’s nice to know, that’s all. I wish we could stay in bed all day. Well, why can’t we?

[ Sighs ] Because I have to pack. You’re still leaving? I have to, joss. Stop saying that. You don’t have to. You’re making a choice to do this. It doesn’t feel like a choice to me, okay? I’ve realized I don’t know sonny as well as I thought I did. Maybe that’s how you feel about jason now that he’s suspected of shooting dante. Jason did not shoot dante, okay? That, I know. What he did do is wrapped that bandage around him and called 911. You know how I know that? Because you two are very similar. You’re both good, decent human beings. Just like I don’t understand how you and jason are so loyal to someone like sonny. I was loyal to sonny, but I’m also afraid of him. Maybe not him so much, but who I’m becoming because of him. And maybe you should be, too. I am so sorry about nina. She doesn’t know. I don’t care what she knows or doesn’t know. She had no right to talk to you that way. It was callous, and it was rude. Maybe. But… as your publisher, nina’s allowed to set standards. And it’s become clear to me today that I’m no longer able to meet them. I disagree. Pretending otherwise does me no favors. Alexis, please allow me my dignity. This will be my last article for the invader.

[ Sighs ] Where are you going with that? Uh, to make the corrections that nina wanted. And then I’ll submit my final copy electronically, just like all your other writers do. Thank you. The pleasure’s been mine.


So, dad, I know how you feel about dr. Braddock now, but what were your impressions of him in the beginning? Dr. Braddock, he was — he was kind, at first. He was compassionate and understanding. Yeah. When I told him, “I feel like everything’s against me,” and I meant that — money. Work. Family obligations. He was sympathetic, and he assured me it wasn’t my fault. A chemical imbalance. The way he put it, son, way he put it was there was a part of my brain that was fighting itself. Right? So that was an explanation. It gave me relief, an explanation as to why everything was going to hell. But I didn’t have insurance. So when he prescribed me pills I couldn’t afford, I was out there cobbling that money together. Yeah, don’t ask me how I did it. I won’T. Anything to make me better able to take care of you, your mama, and your brother. But them pills, ooh, man, curtis, those pills, they — they made me rigid. I-I couldn’t play. I could hardly feel my fingers. And — and my mouth was so dry, the reed just stuck to it. Did you tell the doctor? That’s when he offered me those shock treatments, at the bargain price of $800 a pop. Get out of here. I ain’t kidding. So what’d you do? I blew up on him, that’s what I did. I vented my anger, and I vented my frustration. How did dr. Braddock take it? Not well. Metallosis? That sounds like something you get when your tongue freezes to the flagpole. Dr. Enoch believes the condition is what’s causing your symptoms. My symptoms? Yes, both physical and mental. Wait, are you saying that this poison is making me think things a-and do things that I normally wouldn’t? It’s a very real possibility that the metallosis has altered your perception and behavior.

[ Gasps ] No doctor has ever told me anything but that I’m crazy. How long has the pain in your hip been acute? Um, let’s see. Well, I’m not sure, but it feels like an eternity. Well, we would surgically remove the defective apparatus and replace it with a current model. You mean like buying a new car? You just junk the old hip and replace it with this year’s model? As with any surgeries, um, there are significant risks. Oh. A standard hip replacement takes approximately two hours. Yours may be double that. Okay. You will be under anesthesia and carefully monitored. Okay. However, in rare cases, patients experience complications from anesthesia. Complications meaning you never wake up? In very rare cases. But before we do the surgery, we’re going to start you on cobalt chelation therapy, which — yeah, excuse me, but c-could I — could I just have a minute? Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I don’t understand what he’s saying. I mean, I hear the words, but all that “medicalese” just sounds like a lot of white noise. Do you know what he’s talking about? Uh, I-I think I do. Well, can — can you just figure it out for me, then, please? I mean, you’re my guardian now. No, heather, I-I’m not your guardian. It’s just in case you — you can’t make decisions for yourself, I’m in charge of your medical care. Well, as you can see, laura, I mean, I’m having a really hard time with that. You’re having a hard time with what exactly? With making decisions.

[ Exhales deeply ] I — there should be a will in my file, I think. Yes, yes, I-I’ve seen it. Okay. Short but sweet. You leave your entire estate to your grandson ace. Yeah, to ace. I mean, not that I have anything to leave. But I don’t want to leave him. So what do you think I should do, laura? I mean, do you think that I should have them take out my whole hip and put in a new one? Heather, it’s a personal choice. Please. Help me decide. I think you should do it.

[ Sighs ] Finn: You’re back. I changed my mind. About? Would you mind, uh, retyping this from — uh, tonight after work? I don’t mind typing it right now. Are you sure? Positive. Thank you. So, what was the verdict? Was alexis a fan? Alexis usually likes what I write. But I’ve decided that this will be my last article. Oh? How come? Newspaper gig just isn’t for me. Well, it’ll certainly free up some more time. It will. Maybe you can finish up that, uh, chaucer book you’ve been working on or, well, you always said you wanted to write a novel. Yeah, um, it’s on my list. Well, start scratching a few things off, will you? I mean, they say no time like the present. At least that’s what they say. The present, son, is all we’ve got. What’s your problem? “Port charles’ own red-headed mob lawyer. Shacking up with the district attorney.” I never said that. Well, your paper sure did.


Hi. Stella! I hope I’m not interrupting anything. Ah, nothing important. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to pick your brain. Pick away. Did you ever encounter a psychiatrist named dr. Paul braddock? He practiced out of baltimore, but from what I gather, he was fairly well known. You could say that. I had nothing to do with that. Is the invader not your publication? Ah. You seem to have forgotten that I have a new publisher, who has shoved a gossip columnist right down my throat. I haven’t seen anything about that. Well, you might want to start reading it. And I’m assuming that you’re going to print a retraction tomorrow. What do you want me to say? That you’re not a natural redhead?

[ Laughs mockingly ] I have something that you might be happier about. Thrill me. Nina has forbidden us to mention sonny at all. Nada, zip, not a word. So your number-one client is officially off-limits. My god. Does the woman have a single redeeming quality? You say it like I’m going to follow her orders. A lawyer can dream, can’t she? You mean a red-headed mob lawyer.

[ Chuckles, groans ] What if I said I would come with you? I’d say you were lying. To me, but mostly to yourself. Your family is way too important to you, and that’s a good thing. I wish I felt that way about mine. You’re important to me. It’s different. Yes, it’s different. I love my family. But I’m in love with you. And I love you, too. So much. You know I’ve never said that to anyone before. That’s why I want what’s best for you, and that can’t be me. Is it sonny that you’re worried about? Because I might be able to protect you. I can talk to my mom. She can talk to him. I know that they’re not together. I know that they’ve been through it, but I just — I have a feeling that he might still listen to her. What if it’s already too late?

[ Knock on door ] What if what’s too late?

[ Loud knocking on door ] I’ll get it. Nina. Looking for more backs to stab? Sorry. I’m fresh out. That was nice. It’s nice watching you work so hard, put all this work into your recovery. Pop, pop, don’t do that, okay? My recovery is quantifiable. Do my exercises, I’ll be back on my feet sooner. But that was not the same for you. You’re right. Our — our situations are different. Yes. And you know what that difference is? I ran and gave up. You didn’T. Working hard or hardly working? Ah, man, you know your — your nephew. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Were you able to locate dr. Braddock?

[ Sighs ] Auntie. Auntie, what’s wrong? I got good news and bad news. Which do you want first? Bad. Bad. Dr. Braddock died just before christmas.

[ Sighs ]Well, that’s, uh — yeah, hard to find the words to say, huh? Well, well, well. You won’t find me mourning the man. No, no one would expect you to, pop. Look, I knew. I knew all this searching stuff, it would lead to nothing. Auntie, you said you had some good news, too. The answers that you’ve been looking for are not hiding in baltimore. They are right upstairs in this hospital.


I just can’t believe how big he’s getting. Yeah, I know. Baby today, mayor of port charles tomorrow. You think he’ll follow in your footsteps, huh? Oh, I-I don’t know who he will grow up to be. Better your path than mine, that is for sure.

[ Sighs ] It all just went so wrong, laura. When? How? I mean besides this metallosis stuff. What happened to me? I don’t know, heather. I — you know, if it makes you feel any better, I feel like I’ve lived a few different lives, and — and sometimes, I can’t always connect the dots between them. Well, see, that’s exactly it. It’s so random, right? It’s just so disjointed. Sometimes I feel like I’m in free-fall. And the only thing worse than that fall itself is the ground rushing up to meet me. Heather, you know the upside to having gotten it all wrong? I didn’t think there was an upside. There’s still time for you to get it right. Is dex here? I don’t know. Dex, are you here? Hello. I was hoping that you would relay a message to sonny that I had no idea that the invader was going to run that story on him today. You know, I’ve only been publishing that newspaper for a very short time, so they don’t run anything by me, but I’m gonna — have you ever seen sonny read a newspaper? I have not. Mm. But he’s very well informed. He just gets his news through other means. Okay, great. So you’re in the clear. Goodbye. Hold on! A-are you — are you going somewhere? Uh, is sonny going somewhere? Are you accompanying him as his guard? First of all, that’s none of your business. Second of all, dex is through with sonny, kind of like how sonny’s through with you. You are your mother’s daughter. Oh, yes. Proud of it. Oh, I see what’s happening here. Dex, you broke up with sonny. And that can only mean you’re next, josslyn. I hate complaining. I really do. And yet — and yet the newspaper business is — how do I phrase this? Miserable? Yes. In general, nobody reads anymore. They scroll. Specifically, it’s this place. It’s this publisher. I’m dishing gossip to make nina reeves happy. Who am I? What have I become? That’s a rhetorical question? I’m telling you, I would take up the law again for free if it meant that I could get out from under this nasty job. Really? Well, in that case, I have a proposal for you, one that will get you out of this place and away from nina reeves for good. Semicolon should be a period. There are no semicolons in newspapers.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Noted. Uh, here. Here’s the, uh, web address for the invader work site. You can post it there. Okay. And this is the password? Yeah. All right.

[ Keyboard clacking ] There you go. Your final article has been uploaded. Excellent. Think you can stick around, have some lunch with me? I know it’s not the metro court, but the turkey chili’s pretty decent. Thanks, but I think I’ll head home, try to squeeze in a nap before violet gets home from school. Yeah. Okay. Thank you again for this. And thank you for… everything. I’m not done quite yet, hamilton. Better not be. See you at home? See you at home, dad.


Hamilton finn. Hey, bodhan. Thought that unknown number might be you. Thanks for getting back to me. Where’d they send you this time? Wow. I heard all hell’s breaking loose there. Hey, well, look, I, uh — I realize my timing is terrible, so I will make it quick. Uh, my dad’s been diagnosed with als. Oh, thank you. I, um — I appreciate that. You know how it is. Uh, look, and I know the — the course of the disease varies with every patient, but it seems to be accelerating with him. And, man, you’re the best neurologist I ever worked with, so I just want to know if you have anything, you know? And I don’t — I don’t even know what I’m looking for. I’d take a little magic at this point, but I — yeah. No, I-I know the drill. Yeah, no. Look, go, uh — go save some lives and, um, stay safe, brother. I don’t want to take another hit piece like that gossip columnist just leveled at me. I’m a phenomenal lawyer. You’re not going to get any argument from me. I also hate to think that I’m the kind of person who cares what people think of me. But my reputation matters. And I don’t want anybody out there thinking that I only take cases for mob money. That’s not why I got into the law in the first place. Why did you? Well, I’m going to assume it’s for the same reasons that you got in, alexis, to be of service, to strive for justice, even if the definition of justice happens to vary a little bit between you and me. Do you want me to write a puff piece? No, no, I want — actually, I want — I just want you to zip it. Pay attention. Come work with me. As what, your receptionist? No. As my very esteemed every-other-day colleague. And — and if you’re very good and very nice to me, at some point soon, my partner. I think you’re forgetting the small matter of my disbarment. I’m not able to practice law anymore. Says who? The appellate division of the supreme court of the state of new york. And it was a swift and decisive ruling, I might add. And it’s a ruling I’m betting I can get overturned. Now that we’ve already acknowledged that you are a chip off the ol’ carly block, I bet the only secrets you really like are the ones you keep to yourself. Okay. That’s enough. Get out. No, no, no. What do you mean? Oh. You should really aim that question to your boyfriend. What is she talking about? Oh, don’t be shy, dex. Come on. Tell josslyn about the day I caught you dressed as an orderly coming out of cyrus renault’s hospital room. Remember, no funny business. There is nothing funny about surgery, if you ask me. Okay, who’s got a pen? Uh, um, heather, would you like dr. Enoch to go over the procedure with you one more time? In layman’s terms. I mean, before you sign? No. Not necessary. You think I should do this, that’s good enough for me. Do you have a pen? Yes. Yes, yes. Well, gracias, “doctore.” Okay. Here goes.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] Kind of messy, but — okay. We’ll submit your consent, get the ball rolling. Yes. Of course.

[ Sighs ] We’ll talk soon. Okay. Thank you. Hey, laura. What’s kevin like in bed?

[ Chuckles ] Excuse me? I was just wondering, you know, if — if there were any similarities with ryan, you know, in that department.

[ Chuckles ] Heather, you know, here, I thought we were getting along so well. We were. We are. Have a good day. What’d I say?

[ Scoffs ] I understand you were a patient of dr. Paul braddock. Once upon a time, yes. I take it you’ve heard of him? Oh, he made quite a name for himself. What, was this guy famous or something? Some might go with infamous. He’s the one who diagnosed me with schizophrenia. Stella told me. Gave me all these — these dire warnings about how — how it might progress, how I might hurt myself or my family and the shame it would bring upon them if that happened. Doctor, I was so scared. I was so scared, I left my boys and let my wife and stella here raise them without me. But none of it, none of it was true. You didn’t have what he said you did. What would make a doctor tell me I’m a schizophrenic when I wasn’t? I can’t say for certain. Guess. Dr. Collins, could you please help us out? We need answers. I believe you were misdiagnosed because you were young, male, poor, angry, and black.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Sentimental music ]

Luna: My mom doesn’t understand how hard it’s been. I mean, my whole life, not knowing who my father is. I just– I’m so sorry you came here looking for her and you got all this.

Bill: No, no, no, it’s okay. I– I just hate seeing you so upset.

Luna: We never fight. Never. But I just– I couldn’t pretend like it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Bill: Your mom loves you. You’re gonna work this out.

Luna: I just wish I could talk to my father.

Poppy: Finn.

Finn: Hey, aunt poppy.

Poppy: Hi.

Finn: I– come in, I… it’s all right. I didn’t know you were coming by.

Poppy: Oh. You didn’t get my text?

Finn: Uh, no, I went out for a surf. I haven’t checked my phone. Damn. It’s good to see you.

Poppy: Yeah, it’s great to see you. Did you catch any waves?

Finn: Uh, yeah, yeah. I was just, um, yeah, just trying to– trying to clear my head.

Poppy: Yeah, I can’t imagine. I’m sorry.

Finn: If you’re looking for my mom, I think she’s at work.

Poppy: Um, no. I actually needed someone who would listen and be understanding, which unfortunately is not my sister.

Finn: Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Poppy: It’s luna.

Ridge: Wow. You must’ve been thinking about someone very special when you designed this one.

Thomas: Hope. Always hope. You know, when I’m not seeing her and she’s not around me, I’m just waiting until I can see her again, you know?

Ridge: You really are smitten, aren’t you?

Thomas: A bit. I think she feels the same. I’ve never had a woman care about me the way that hope does.

Ridge: Well, I’m pulling for both of you.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: Have you ever seen me like this?

Brooke: Not in a long time.

Hope: It’s because I haven’t been this happy in a long time, and that’s because of thomas. Look, mom, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but it’s the truth. He’s good for me. We’re– we’re good for each other. So please, can you stop fighting it? Can you support my relationship with thomas?

Thomas: You know, you were one of the first people to jump on board. Wish us well.

Ridge: You’re my boy. I believe in you. Always have your back.

Thomas: Well, your encouragement means the world, and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Ridge: You know what I learned over the years? Life is short. Find your future. Grab it. Hold on to it.

Thomas: That’s exactly what I intend to do today.

Brooke: I can’t deny what a great place you’re in, and beth and douglas seem to be thriving too.

Hope: Thomas is wonderful with the kids.

Brooke: And thomas seems to be in a better place as well.

Hope: What is this I’m hearing? Is this progress?

Brooke: I’m trying. I’m trying. As surprised as I am, I can’t deny the positive impact that he’s had on your life.

Hope: Honestly, mom, thank you. I can tell you’re making an effort, and this really has been a wonderful time in my life, and I want to be able to share that with you.

Brooke: Honey, I just love you so much. I want you to be happy.

Hope: And I am happy. I’m so, so happy, and in large part that is because of thomas.

Finn: Is everything okay with luna? She’s not– she’s not sick or anything?

Poppy: No, but she is hurt and disappointed.

Finn: What, by rj?

Poppy: No… by me. I’ve let my daughter down, finn, and for the first time in her life, it’s not me she wants to talk to. It’s her father.

Bill: Your father.

Luna: I’ve always been able to turn to my mom, you know, share anything and everything with her, but this time it’s different.

Bill: Because you and poppy had a fight. I know you wish you could talk to your dad. I’m not your dad, but if I concentrate really hard, I think I could be a good listener. Moving forward with node-positive

Ridge: Wow, look at you. Look how gorgeous you are.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. You’re as handsome as ever.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah. Hmm. So how’s your day going?

Ridge: It’s, uh, pretty good.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: How do you get better looking every time I see you?

Brooke: I need to come back in here more often in between meetings.

Ridge: Yeah, you should.

Brooke: It’s very special.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: So, uh, I had an interesting conversation with hope.

Ridge: About what?

Brooke: About her and thomas.

Ridge: That’s funny. I had that same conversation with my son.

Brooke: Oh?

Ridge: I’m convinced that he’s completely devoted to her.

Brooke: You might be right.

Thomas: Good, you’re here.

Hope: Promise me you will always be this excited to see me.

Thomas: I promise.

[ Hope squeals ] Hmm…

Hope: What’s got you in such a good mood today? And, um, excuse me, what is this?

Thomas: Oh, well, this is, um, a little something I wanted you to try on.

Hope: It is beautiful.

Thomas: Yeah, not as beautiful as it’ll look once it’s on you.

Hope: When did you find the time?

Thomas: I stayed up late a few extra nights. Wanted it to be a surprise.

Hope: Oh, well, aren’t I just the luckiest woman in the world to be dating such a sexy, talented artiste?

Thomas: What can I say? You’re my muse.

Hope: Hmm. I do humbly accept the title, but I, uh, your muse was kind of in the middle of something. So can it– can it wait?

Thomas: No.

Hope: No.

Thomas: No.

Hope: Oh, so it’s important.

Thomas: Very important.

Hope: Oh, gosh, when you say it like that, it sounds like your future depends on it.

Thomas: It kind of does.

Hope: Oh, well, then, in that case, um, I guess help me take my clothes off.

Thomas: Okay.

Bill: Look, uh, I tend to talk a lot, take up a room, but for you, I’m gonna work very hard on just shutting up. I will zip it, zipped. Seriously, I’ll just listen.

Luna: Thank you, bill, that’s– that’s really kind of you to offer, but, um, I probably shouldn’t get into it.

Bill: Fair enough.

Luna: Oh, my god. I’m sorry. Uh, where are my manners? Uh, did you want something to drink, or?

Bill: I really do. I don’t suppose you have scotch.

Luna: No, my mom doesn’t drink alcohol.

Bill: Yeah, right. I– I know. I mean, she won’t even have a glass of the finest bottle of wine. She’s just all about relaxing with her happy mints. What? What? Did I say something wrong?

Luna: No, I was just thinking about some other thing.

Bill: See, I told you I talk too much.

Luna: Can I ask you something, bill?

Bill: Shoot.

Luna: Has my mom ever talked to you about my father? If advanced lung cancer

Ridge: Hang on a second. Did I hear you right? Did you say that thomas might be good for hope?

Brooke: I might be changing my mind just a little bit.

Ridge: All right, that’s– that– that is fantastic, but why, why?

Ridge: Why would you see him differently now?

Brooke: Okay, just don’t read too much into it. But I have seen changes in my daughter. She seems very light and joyful and, uh, a lot of trust and confidence, and I do believe that one of the reasons is because of thomas.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Thomas: Wow.

Hope: It’s, uh… thomas, it’s stunning.

Thomas: It’s not the dress. It’s you. You are on my mind every moment I put pen to paper.

Hope: Hmm. Well, it is perfect, and there is nothing that I would change about it.

Thomas: That’s high praise.

Hope: Well, it feels spectacular on, and it hits– hmm… it hits all the right places.

Thomas: Well, it sure does.

Hope: All right, this was fun while it lasted, uh, but I know it’s probably already spoken for, so I should–

Thomas: Uh, no, no, I want you to keep it on.

Hope: What are you saying, that I can have it?

Thomas: You can have anything you want. I would give you the world.

Hope: You already have.

Thomas: No, no, don’T.

Hope: No?

Thomas: No– no I have, uh, I have something planned, and I think you should wear it.

Hope: Oh, oh. Oh, there are plans?

Thomas: There are. We’re going somewhere. It’s not too far, so don’t worry. Come on, let’s go.

Hope: What, right now?

Thomas: Yes, right now. Come on.

Hope: Okay.

Finn: Luna’s upset she can’t speak with her dad?

Poppy: Yeah, I’ve been giving her the run-around since she was born, but… she’s finally fed up with me.

Finn: Do you, um, do you know who luna’s father is? Like, would you– would you consider opening up to her?

Poppy: It seems like more and more like I have no choice.

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s your call, but what I don’t understand is what do I have to do with this?

Luna: Well, my mom’s told you that I don’t know who my father is.

Bill: It’s come up a few times.

Luna: Well, has she ever mentioned anything or any ideas on who it could be?

Bill: We discussed it, and for a while I thought, maybe hoped, that it could be me. Schwarzkopf

Finn: The reason you’re here to see me is about luna’s father?

Poppy: Yes. I need to talk to you about that.

Bill: Crazy, huh?

Luna: Um, well, actually, rj thought the same thing when i first told him how you and my mom met, you know, all those years ago, and the timeline matches up.

Bill: It does. That’s why I had to ask poppy if I could be your father.

Luna: And let me guess, she said no.

Bill: She said it wasn’t me.

Luna: I mean, I’m not surprised. Anytime I mention my father or ask her if maybe it could be someone from her past that I’ve met before, she always just shuts down and says that she’s not sure.

Bill: Did you ever think she has a good reason for keeping it from you?

Luna: I mean, what legitimate reason could there be? You know, the older I get, the more I wonder, and I don’t think it’s fair for her to keep this from me. You know, like it’s some deep, dark, dirty secret. You know, this is my life. It’s– it’s my identity. I mean, is it so wrong for me to wanna know who my father is?

Bill: No, no, not at all. You have every right to that information. And like I told poppy, any man would be proud to call you his daughter.

Ridge: So you’re seeing thomas differently. Thank you. That’s all I can ask.

Brooke: Do I believe that thomas adds to hope’s life? Yes, I do. She seems happier and she’s laughing more. What mother doesn’t want that for her daughter?

Ridge: Absolutely. And she must be thrilled, right?

Brooke: Yeah, you could say that.

Ridge: Look at us. We– we do things together all the time. It’s all we do, and now maybe the two of them, they could move this company forward, this family.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I think they should take it slow, but I am giving thomas the benefit of the doubt. But only hope knows what’s best for her.

Hope: Ah, ah. Wow. Um, is there a hope for the future event that I wasn’t aware we were planning?

Thomas: Well, this does have to do with hope for the future.

Hope: Uh-huh. And, uh, where’s the rest of the team, then? Where’s everyone?

Thomas: Right here.

Hope: So it’s just the two of us.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Well then, I, uh, I call this meeting to order.

Thomas: Oh, okay. Well, actually, I have a little speech that I wanted to try out. Do you mind if I practice it on you?

Hope: Okay. I’d love to hear it.

Thomas: Okay, um… here it goes. The future is full of uncertainty, and how do you get past that uncertainty? We, take risks. It’s trial and error, and then you find successes. And we have found successes in our relationship, working for hope for the future, but also in our relationship as a couple, building a wonderful family. And through those risks, you trust your instincts. You take second chances, and you have given me more second chances than I probably deserve. But… you kept giving me more chances, and for that, I am so grateful. I will always be grateful to you for that. And speaking of second chances, um… you said you needed more time. But I think we’re ready. I think we’re very, very ready. It’s time for you to take this ring and put it on your finger. I don’t wanna wait anymore. So, hope… say you’ll make me the happiest man in the world. Say you’ll be my wife. Say you’ll marry me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Ah, there you are. Got up early, huh? Yes, I did. I was hoping that you had gone back to sleep since you were just tossing and turning for the one hour you were in bed last night. I’m okay. I just want to go see Tripp. I know. I know. And I do too, but there’s actually no rush. I talked to Sarah, she said they’re both resting comfortably.

And you, my lover, should take comfort in the fact that it is 100 percent thanks to you. Well, not 100%. It’s thanks to you too, sweetness.

And now we’re husband and wife. And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth. Hey. Sorry to woke you. I’m sorry. Are you kidding? I am so glad to see you. How come you’re allowed out of bed? I’m not, but I know what time the shift changes. Oh, sneaky.

Whoa. Should I be jealous? Uh, your mom actually brought those. Well, I just got a muffin, so you must rate. No, I think it’s more that she feels guilty about this whole situation. Even though it’s not really her fault. Yeah, I feel guilty too. You? Why? Well, like I said, we were stuck in that tank. If you had just gone back to China when your parents wanted you to,

Gwendy, My mom didn’t mean for any of this to happen to us. I, I know she didn’t and she’s obviously horrified that it did. But with her, History has a way of repeating itself.

I just don’t think I could live with myself if something like this happened again.

Abe, we got your text. I knew we shouldn’t have gone home last night. Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. He needed to grab a few hours sleep. Okay, so, Mama flatlined, but now she’s doing better. Well, you’ll find out for yourself soon. I just don’t get it. I thought the only possible treatment for Paulina was a heart transplant.

Oh, that’s what we all thought. So then, what happened last night? Yeah, I don’t know if I can explain it. If I didn’t know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing.

Mama?

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

Oh my god, Eli. Hey baby, look, let’s not jump to conclusions, alright? I’m sure if something had changed, your dad would have let us know. Dad, where’s mom? Well, uh, they took her out for some tests, just to see if she’s as good as she feels. Okay.

Oh, well. Oh, hello. All of my favorite people. It looks like your adoring family has returned in full force. Oh, Mama, you look so much better. Well, now, I would normally be offended by that statement, but I will accept it as a compliment and say that I do feel so much better too. Thank God. So what’s the verdict?

Well, there were no arterial blockages, no arrhythmias. Her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Defying medical explanation. So you’re saying that you guys don’t have any idea of what happened to bring her back. To make her heart strong again. No. It’s nothing short of a miracle.

Tripp. It is not your job to keep me safe. Okay? I don’t need your mother’s help. To get into trouble. I do that pretty regularly myself, and, and, you know, I’m pretty damn good at getting myself out of it, too. So, I mean, not to brag, but, um. You know, you’re the reason that my dad found us before we ran out of air in that beer tank.

Yeah, I am. But you, you’re the one who kept us sane. Your brilliant, fake it till you make it, advice.

And you know, everything that happened last night, before we were running out of air, I remember that really clearly, but The last part is kind of blurry. Like, maybe I’m I imagined the whole thing. Well, when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates its own sensory inputs. Meaning what? Wait, are you telling me maybe I did imagine some of it?

I don’t understand. How could I possibly be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp? Well, for one thing, I never would have learned CPR unless you taught me. And you made me take that refresher course a few months ago. Well, I’m happy that you mastered CPR, but you were giving me way too much credit. No, that’s not all.

I never would have picked up on Wendy’s clue in the hostage video if I hadn’t learned ASL with you all those years ago. I thought you said that there were no clues in that video. Well, we didn’t think so at first. But then I finally figured out that Wendy was making the sign for beer. You’re welcome.

Okay, I had to check online to make sure, to confirm it. For some reason, that was a sign I remembered. I wonder why. Yeah. Well anyway, after I got that Wendy was signing the word for beer, John honed in on the wall behind the kids. The configuration, the materials. And suddenly it clicked that they were in a brew tank.

So we hightailed it out to the old brewery, past the airport. That is crazy. Well, I guess it’s lucky that you remembered sign language. It’s very lucky. I just wish I’d picked up on that clue sooner, so we wouldn’t have come so close to losing those kids. Yeah, but look. Wendy and Tripp are doing great.

They’re safe, and they’re okay. Yeah. Okay, what else? Obviously, you were worried about something else. Weston broke out of Statesville, as you know. Yeah, and it’s awful, but there was nothing that you could do. Okay, what else? I don’t know. It’s just the whole, the whole nightmare. I mean, Ava getting involved with that son of a bitch in the first place and nearly getting her son killed.

And there’s that con man Constantine trying to bilk Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. Not to mention Abe still has amnesia. Paulina is in the hospital dying of heart failure. Well, I hate to interrupt your litany of bad news, but um, Paulina is not dying of heart failure. What? Yeah, it’s crazy. I just was talking with Sarah and she said against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal.

Really? Yeah. How is that possible? I don’t know. But you know, my mom would say, chalk it up to the power of prayer and love. And I, you know, I’m gonna go with that because Paulina certainly has a lot of both of those things. Yeah. Wow. That’s fantastic news. They must be so relieved. Yeah, I would think so. So, you see, things were rough last night, but this morning, we have so much to be thankful for and grateful for.

Yes. Yes, we do. You hear that, Mama? It’s a miracle. Your medical mystery. A mystery I am not interested in solving. Because I do not want to jinx you. There is no way you are going to jinx it. We have you back and we are never letting you go again. And, um, Yeah. Well, my darling, there is, um, another very important miracle to celebrate, aside from my miracle, uh, and also my beautiful Lonnie finally being free and my beautiful Chanel being a happy newlywed.

You two can finally go on your honeymoon. Have You know, we actually haven’t even thought about that with everything that’s been going on. Yeah, and I wouldn’t really feel comfortable going too far right now. You, you understand that, right John? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So, Mama, you said that there was another miracle that we had to celebrate?

Um, well, uh, That is, uh, My Abraham finally has his memory back. What? Dad! Is that true? Yes, yes it is. And I’m very happy to say that I remember everything. And I remember the day I found out that you were my daughter. And even though eventually I found out that You weren’t mine biologically. I still, I still felt so much for you.

And I always will, and I am so proud to be your father.

I love you, Dad. I have no words.

Oh, you know what else? I am so Well, my wonderful wife. I mean, I I remember falling in love with you for the first time. And I’m so happy that I got to fall in love with you all over again.

Wow, this is a, uh, this is a beautiful moment. Um, I gotta say, as much as I love my family, uh, well, most of them anyway. As most people know, the DiMeras, we’ve, we’ve had the devil in our midst, but man, the Carvers, I swear you guys must have an angel. Yes, we do. My

memory’s pretty hazy from last night, too, so What do you think happened? Well, I

I figured I’d find you in here. You gonna kick me out? Well, actually, I’ve broken so many rules today already. I let five people into a room that should have only had two people max. So, I might as well break another rule. But do me a favor and just sit, please. Sit. Is it okay if I listen to you as long as Wendy?

Yeah, yeah, I have had it. Alright, sit forward for me. Deep breath.

You know, I thought that we would have so much to celebrate when I got released from prison. But then Eli’s family house practically burned down to the ground and Mom, you were so sick and ugh. I guess I was just really afraid that this would not be a happy visit. Oh, we are on a major role with the good news.

We are

Oh, I’m sorry. I gotta take this call. Um, we’ll be back with a surprise or two. Okay, well you know I like surprises, so hurry back. I think I know exactly what those two surprises are. Oh! Hi! It’s our anniversary, buddies! Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you tied the knot. Congratulations, you two. Thank you. I hear you got some good news about your mom, Chanel.

Oh, yes. Did we ever. Well, we are on our way to see her. Uh, these are for her. This one’s for her. And this one’s for Tripp and Wendy. Oh! What, uh, what are they celebrating? Haven’t you heard? What? Yeah, they, uh, they got caught up in something that had nothing to do with them. They were held hostage. What? Yeah, it was a close call, but they were rescued by Steve and John, and now they’re in the hospital recovering.

Well, you know, it actually sounds like there weren’t three miracles, but there were four. Four? Yeah. Because you have Mama’s miraculous recovery, Lonnie being free, and then Wendy and Tripp, and Abe. Hey, what about Abe? He, uh, he got his memory back. What? Yeah. When did that happen? Uh, right after Mama’s heart started beating again, and now he says he remembers everything.

Wow. I mean, what a relief that must be for Abe, and Paulina, and, and your entire family. Yeah, and you had a lot to do with it. All those hours you worked with him, they really paid off. Well, I think you’re giving me too much credit. Really, you all did an amazing job. You were so supportive and encouraging.

Wow. I mean, for somebody to get their memory back like that’s so sweet. Suddenly and completely? That is very unusual. Yeah. It seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Her blood gases look good. Are her lungs still clear? You know, I really can’t hear anything if you’re talking. Sorry. Um, I take it that you looked at her chart? I did, yeah. And your own?

Man, they say that doctors are the worst patients, but you are in a league all your own. Have you met this one? Ah, from the family. Definitely. Are you supposed to be out of bed? No, he isn’t. No, but Tripp and I are feeling much better today. That’s what we like to hear. Yeah, but I would like to hear it from the actual doctor who’s on duty, if that’s okay.

How are they doing? Uh, well, they’re Levels are good and they’re stable. They definitely look a lot better than when they came in. Great. Yeah, well, Wendy, these are for you. Oh, beautiful. Thank you so much. Yeah, open them over here. Wow, look at this arrangement. Lovely. Yeah, from my mom. Oh. Uh, Kayla, if you have a minute, I’d love to chat with you about something.

Sure. Yeah, of course. Okay, we’ll be back in a few. Okay. So, Your mom was already here this morning, huh? Was she here to spin her side of the story? Dad, I know you’re angry. Okay, I am too. But, Clyde dragged her into this. She had no choice. Trip, People died because of those tainted drugs she was running through the bistro.

You and Wendy could have died.

Mom was trying to protect us. Okay, she begged us to leave Salem. She wanted us to move to China when Wendy’s family wanted us to. But I couldn’t leave her here to let her deal with this on her own. Hold on. You knew your mom was involved in that drug operation? Since when? Answer me, Tripp. How long have you known and why didn’t you tell me?

I guess we’re not gonna tell the kids about Lexi. They wouldn’t believe us. That my first wife appeared to us from the afterlife. And miraculously healed us both. Well, I may have had a few drugs in me and you’re still on the mend from a traumatic brain injury. But I am quite sure, quite sure that you and I both didn’t imagine the same thing.

Thank you. But, I wonder Go on, go on. I, uh, I wonder if you’re getting back some memories of me. Might cause you to, uh, to wonder why you’re with me. What? Well, you, you’re, you’re remembering all the lies I told, right? All the problems I’ve caused. Yes. Let me tell you something, Mayor Price Carver. You are a complicated, amazing woman.

And most people have never had what I’ve had once, let alone twice. And I can’t, I just can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with you. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, thank you. No, I appreciate it.

Well? The FBI approved my status change to part time special agent. So now I get to consult with the DOJ. They gave me everything that I asked for and more. Ah. That’s because you are the best. Hmm, I’m so proud of you. Oh, now you know what that means. More money, and I get to spend more time with you and our precious twins.

And less time in harm’s way. Yeah, if I take the job. Wait, what? Eli, this is everything that you’ve always wanted. Except it’s in DC. I mean now that we’re back at home with family. I don’t know how I feel about leaving. You?

I don’t know either.

Dad the reason I didn’t tell you about mom’s situation is because I knew you would go ballistic and I know that’s not an excuse. I just I I’m, sorry, you’re right. That’s not an excuse But i’m not mad at you I’m angry with your mother. And I understand why you’re defending her. Because you’re a good son.

I’m just grateful you’re both okay. Son, I was scared. I was so scared when I couldn’t get you to breathe. And I know I broke your rib. I felt a crack. I’m sorry. No, it was a minor crack, okay? It’ll heal quickly. Listen, you did everything right. I’m sorry. It’s very common for someone’s rib to get cracked when you’re using the force that’s needed for CPR.

You saved my life, so a sore rib is a very small price to pay. I’m so grateful for you. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. Oh,

my darling. You know, I, I still, I still feel like, well, like, I’m in a dream. Sitting here with my husband, who now has, has his memories back. And, uh, most of them with me are, Beautiful and perfect, right? You’re suppressing the ones that aren’t. Definitely, definitely. No, seriously, seriously, Abraham. I, I’ve dreamed of this for so many months, though.

Having you back. 100%.

Oh, I’m now, oh my god. Thank Lexi. We will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Hey. Hi. There they are. The sweet bits. Yeah. I hope we’re not interrupting. No, we actually were just on our way to go see your mom down the hall. Yeah. Hey, Chanel. Johnny. Hey, you guys. Hey, it’s good to see you both. Yeah, we’re so glad to see that you’re doing okay. Well, we’ll let your kids visit. Do you need anything from home?

Either one of you? No. Thank you. I’ve, uh, got everything I need right here. Me too. All right. Well, we’ll see you all later then. Bye bye. Later. Thanks for everything. Yeah. So, Chanel, how’s your mom doing? Well, the past few weeks have been really rough on her, which is an understatement. But, um, now she’s, she’s doing much better.

Oh, that’s great to hear. Yeah. And you, uh, looks like you’ve kept up with the dangerous capers, your new partner in crime. New and improved. Yeah, well, this most recent caper was definitely one for the ages, but we’re fine, thank God. You’re welcome. Chanel, is that a wedding ring? Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. Johnny and I actually got married in my mom’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day.

Congratulations! Oh my god, you guys! Yeah, husband and wife, huh? Yeah, you know, for better, for worse, etc, etc. Oh, that is such great news. I’m so happy for you. You’re here. Congratulations.

I always knew you two would wind up together. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So? It would seem as though we are all exactly where we belong. Well.

I don’t know if I’ve said it often enough or loud enough or even at all, but Kayla, Steve, thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Letting Abe stay with you while he was trying to figure things out and reintroducing him to the life he lived before the accident. And not to mention the Wonderful medical attention you gave us, Kayla.

Mm hmm. Well, you know, I’m not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got your memory back. And guess what? You’ve thanked us more than enough. Oh, no, no, no, no. Never, never enough. You are our great and gracious friends. And I appreciate your, your kindness and your hospitality. But you are losing me as a house guest.

So, does this mean you’re moving back in with your lovely wife? Well, if, if she’ll have me. Let me think about it. Oh, I think, okay. I think I can put up with you again. Are you sure about that? Yes, yes, I am sure. If you can, you know, think you can put up with me again, smothering you with all the love and attention, you think that you can handle that?

Well, I look forward to it. And the reciprocating. Well, as sorry as we are to lose you as a roommate, we are so thrilled for both of you, really. Hey, and how about To make the transition easier for us, you come to dinner as soon as you’re out of the hospital. Ah, great idea. We’ll have just a big celebration.

Champagne, confetti, the works. Oh, honey, honey, we are there. Let’s just hope it’s soon. Oh, gosh, yes, of course. I am so happy for all my friends. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing. Love you guys.

Wow, another wedding. What do you mean, another one? Well, um, Before Dr. Horton and your parents came in, we were talking about last night. About what we remembered, and Oh, it’s my mom. Well, she obviously got my voicemail. No, I’m gonna go. Please don’t.

Why

Cher? The Cher

Shut? Mama

Does she just hang up on you? Yeah, sort of. She’s mad that she heard about my near death experience from the news, not accounting for the time difference or my being unconscious, but arguing with her would’ve gotten me nowhere. So she was probably just worried about you. Especially what happened to your brother.

I mean, your parents would be devastated if something happened to you. No, I know.

When Johnny was talking about our old capers, it made me realize I’ve been scared before. I’m never as scared as I was last night. But at the same time,

I never felt as safe as I did in your arms.

These are for the staff. A variety of croissants and donuts. I didn’t steal one of these before anybody else gets to them. Go for the almond croissant. I will go for the almond croissant. Thank you so much. Also, hey, I was thinking about what you guys said earlier about, um, a honeymoon and not wanting to go.

so much. Super far away. Mm hmm. You could always honeymoon at the Horton Cabin. I mean, it’s not a 5 star hotel, let me tell you that much, but it is private and very cozy. Well, private and cozy sounds pretty good to me. Uh, if you’re sure. No, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered otherwise. Okay. Uh, well then, what do you say, Chanel?

I say that as soon as we get mama home and all settled in, then let’s do it. Oh, Lonnie. Oh, I was hoping that would be my surprise. Those little angels or my beautiful grandbabies. We’re all Too excited to see their grandma running around this room like, like little chickens with their head cut off and crying when I don’t let them jump on the bed with you.

Well, I love seeing them running around. Oh, y’all don’t even mind all these little Goldfish cracker crumbs in my bed. I was just thrilled to have some time with our precious Jules and Carver. All right. Well, Carver and Jules are at the park with Grandma Julie, who was kind enough to meet me there. Well, I was hoping that they could, you know, could have stayed a little bit longer, but maybe you’ll bring them back later.

Definitely. Well, I do, I admit. I’m very envious of great grandma Julie getting to babysit those sweethearts. But when I finally get to go home, you’re gonna have to let this grandma make up for you lost time with those two. Well, well, why don’t you say anything, Lonnie? Look, you don’t want me to babysit them.

No, no, Mom. No, that is not what I said. That’s not it at all. I mean, if we were going to stay here in Salem, then yes, you would get to watch them all the time. If you were going to stay in Salem? I guess dad didn’t tell you about Eli’s potential job offer in D. C.? You did not? I didn’t think you needed to know.

Because Lonnie said it was only a Potential job offer. Okay, so Tell me now It would be a great opportunity for Eli mama, but We know that you love having us here in Salem, and we love being here But, you’re going. Only if you will truly be happy for us, Mama. And if not, we’ll stay here. But, you just, you say the word.

Oh, no, no, no. Don’t, don’t put this on me. Mama, we mean it. If you don’t want us to go Of course But, oh, okay.

Kay, I know you have to do what’s right for your family. I just, you know, hope you have a guest room there in D. C. Cause when I finally get that green light to travel I’ll be there as often as I can. You’ll be just sick to death of me. Never. Are we interrupting something? What’s going on? We’re starving.

What’s going on? Where have you two been? Oh, we just took a little detour. Three, two, one. What are you doing? Just waiting for someone else to barge in, or the phone to ring, or a nurse to come and check our vitals. Yeah. I think that we might actually be safe. It might just be you and me. For one minute, at least.

Oh, well, then we’ve been working a lot.

Now, uh, where were we? What were we talking about? Oh, um. Well, we were talking about what we thought we remembered from our ordeal in the beer tank, you know. When we were struggling to breathe. Right. So I thought I remembered. But I was so out of it, who knows. Tell me what you remember.

Okay. I will.

Trip, did you really propose to me last night?

Jules and Carver were here. They were indeed. Your very adorable niece and nephew. Yeah, okay, very adorable and very rambunctious. Eli had to whisk them away and drop them off with a Julie. Ah, well, we’ll see them later.

Sorry to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no. You are not interrupting. When can I go home, Sarah? Well, your blood work is still looking great and your incision is healing nicely. So if you keep on this path, you may be discharged as early as tomorrow. What about today? She drives a tough bargain. You still have to follow up with your oncologist and your endocrinologist.

So the whole ordeal isn’t quite over yet. But The end is most definitely in sight.

Hey John, give me a call man. We need to talk about the fallout from Weston’s escape.

Hey, lover. Okay, I’m ready to go. I was just in with the most amazing patient who is making an excellent recovery, so Ah. What’s going on? Just Clyde Weston’s escape from prison. It’s still eating at me. I mean, not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him. My God, that monster killed our niece.

Kidnapped you and Joe. And he’s out there somewhere planning God knows what. Yeah, no doubt. Well, you know what? He is going to be found and brought back to prison. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. You are at my place. Remember? I brought you here last night. Yeah. Yeah. I slept on the couch. Sorry, I took your bed. No, don’t pee. I didn’t hear a peep out of you all night. I assume you got some rest. Yeah. Good. How you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck. Coffee smells really good though. And fresh algae.

You’re spoiling me. That’s what friends are for.

That was really tough to see. I know. Our beloved home in ashes and cinders. It was a blow, a blow to all of us. Well, the blessing is that you all made it out alive. Absolutely. But what kind of a criminal, what kind of a sociopath sets fire to a house with, with innocent people inside? The worst kind. Look, I just really hope that this investigation produces some solid leads.

I’m not holding my breath. But we’re moving forward. Yeah. Gonna restore, repair, rebuild, refurbish. I’m excited about that. So tell me, what’s up with this mysterious time capsule? Oh, the message from my grandparents. It’s great, but we have no idea what the message is. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to find out by setting the house on fire.

So, what do you think will happen first? The house will get finished or you’ll find the key to this time capsule? Time will tell. Tell me some more about Polina. Yep, she does not need a heart transplant, really. They’re keeping under close surveillance, but no, it’s a miracle. It’s a do over. Abe got his memory back.

Yes, yes, you should see Abe. I mean, he is practically dancing on air. His smile, it could light up a city. Always could. Yeah. I mean, we go back a long way, and Speaking of Abraham and Paulina, you know what they just love? They love having you and Lonnie and the twins around. I love that so much. Do you suppose there’s any chance in the world that you would move back to Salem?

Um, sorry, Grandma, but No. It’s not gonna happen.

Those are so delicious. Thank you for making these again for the kids. They couldn’t get enough of them, and neither could I. You know, creating culinary delights is one of my great joys. Be careful. You might get a permanent job here. Fortunately, it would be a lot easier, though, I think. One house has been filled to the brim with guests.

Oh, I love it. It’s wonderful to have all four children running around. It makes me feel like a real papu. I always hoped for grandchildren. Alas, it was never meant to be.

I’m so sorry about your daughter, Constantine. What a terrible tragedy. You know, it is not true what they say that time heals all wounds. Not for me. You see, I miss her more, not less, as time goes on.

Thank you, Nora. Are you sure that you’re up for this? What, breakfast with Eric? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Well, you’ve been through so much with Steve lately. Um, I don’t know. How are you sleeping? Not well as I understand. You still having those nightmares?

They’re getting worse, in fact. I’m not too surprised. Having to save Wendy and Tripp from that tank. Bring them back from the From the edge of death.

Not to give anybody nightmares, I’m I’m imagining that triggered a lot of your own bad memories. Yeah, it did, it did. And you know what, I’d rather not talk about it right now, is that okay? Sure. Anytime you’re ready. I’ll let you know, okay? Sure. Let’s not keep Eric waiting.

Well, how is my grandson doing? Oh, you’re talking about the most beautiful kid in the world? That is the one. He’s been fantastic. He’s holding his head up now. Like a champ. Hey, thank you for your help with Lucas. Yeah, of course. So is there any chance of him coming out of hiding soon? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but, uh, with Clyde out of prison, I’d rather he just stay put.

Yeah, I can’t believe Clyde escaped. I mean, how could that even happen? With a whole lot of serious help from outside. Missing Salem Dr. Tripp Johnson and Salem Police Tech Specialist Wendy Shin rescued at Salem’s Old Brewery on the outskirts of the city. Thank God. Kidnapper identified but nowhere to be found.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the incident is linked to the Statesville prison escape of notorious criminal Clyde Weston. Son of a bitch. Like

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

So, any news on Tripp and Wendy? Well, I was at the hospital earlier. And? And, they’re doing pretty well, all things considered. You know, we got there just in time, I implied. Leaving them to die, and then that crooked cop. I mean, Goldman fooled everybody. I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on either one of them, I am going Get in line.

What about, what about the manhunt? Any news on, um, where our modern day Bonnie and Clyde might be? Not that anyone’s shared with me. And that escape. I mean, Clyde, he had to have outside help, but I don’t think Goldman could have pulled it off alone. Do you think Stephan had something to do with this?

Stephan? Why would you think that? I mean, we both know Clyde had Stephan under his thumb. Yeah. Um.

I don’t think that, um, Steppen had anything to do with it. I mean, and besides, I mean, what is he going to know about pulling off a prison break, huh?

All right, you know, time to take your pills. Oh, okay. Thank you, Nurse Nightingale. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Nurse Nightingale, really? Yeah, I had to, uh, read, uh, her biography. I think it was, uh, sixth grade. I don’t know, something just Stuck with me about her story. You know, she was a strong, empowered woman. It was a compliment.

I took it as such. Now stop stalling and take your meds, Commander. Very good.

Grandma, I was waiting to tell you this, but I got a promotion. A promotion? A big one. A lot more responsibility. I’ll be working with the FBI and the DOJ. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more traveling, domestically and internationally. Is this something you want? Absolutely. Yes. Oh, my beautiful, brave grandson.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. Thank you. But I’m proud of you. I mean, the way you’ve been handling this house fire, you’re incredibly strong. The way you handle everything, you’re so brave. It’s the family that makes me brave. Oh, darling. Go tell Doug about this promotion. Oh, this is so funny.

Your compassion touches me.

I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a child. I’ve lost two, as you know. But you still have your wonderful Sarah. Yeah, she’s a blessing. Yes. Although I do think I interfere in her life too much. I, uh, I focus too much on her. Yeah. Now that her sister and brother are gone. Well, I doubt that. Sarah adores you.

Then again, who doesn’t?

What are you thinking? Oh,

I’m just, you know, I’m, I’m reminded of, um, the power of touch. Um, I’ve read a lot of articles lately about how important it is for everyone later, you know, in their later years. That touch can be the most powerful ways to communicate emotion.

I’m grateful to you, Constantine, and not just for the comfort of our hands touching, but also all the stories that you told me about Victor, and then the latest story about your daughter. Katerina,

you’ve touched my heart. Oh, you have touched me as well, Maggie. I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you. You

are a very special woman, Maggie. Well, I’m, I’m, uh, I’m grateful that I’m special in your eyes. However, I must be honest. As much as I’ve tried to fight it, as much as I hoped that this guilt would eventually subside, it hasn’t.

Constantine being close to another man, to someone other than my husband, my late husband at that, I feel Like it’s a betrayal. I feel like I’m betraying Victor.

Maggie, did you not tell me that Victor loved you deeply, unselfishly? So, why would he want you to continue in life without being cherished?

Victor not want you to be happy?

Did I hurt, oh, did I hurt you? No. No. No, it only hurts, uh, when I move. Talk or breathe. Not when you snore. Wait, don’t do that. Don’t make me laugh. That hurts. Sorry. What are you doing? Oh God. It’s okay. It’s as good as any nurse at the hospital. So thank you. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I Thank you. You have to take that.

Might be a trip. Uh, hello? Can you talk? Uh, well, I’m in the middle of something right now. Well, wrap it up as soon as you can. We need to meet face to face. Okay. When? One hour. I’ll be at my office, waiting. Okay, good. I will, uh, I’ll see you then. Okay, I am going to go meet Steve and we’re going to go visit Tripp together.

So, um, you’re going to be okay for a few hours by yourself? I made it this far. Yeah. Call me if you need anything, alright?

Oh, um, I’m so happy you both made it. Hey, so are we. Hey, hey. Buddy. Please, join us. It is great to be celebrating something positive for a change. And, we do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, we do. Matter of fact, last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, Abe called. I mean, that voice sounded just like the Abe we’ve all known and loved for all these years.

Yeah, he left me a message, and you could hear it in his voice how relieved he was to be himself again. Yeah. I’ve checked on Paulina. She’s doing amazingly well. Just blessings and miracles. Yes, and now a christening of our own little blessing and miracle. Jude Verdi. You know, Joan and I would love to host a little celebration after the ceremony, if that’s alright with you.

That’s very thoughtful, Mom. But Nicole’s already offered to host a party at the DiMera mansion. Oh. I hope that’s okay. I’m just surprised. No, I think it’s a great idea. It’s larger than the townhouse. Alright, any, any thoughts about godparents? Yes, actually. Sloan, she asked Melinda Trask to be godmother.

Really? Well, they’ve gotten really close lately. I mean, she was the one who found Jude for us. Oh, of course. But I do plan on asking Brady to be Godfather. Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he’ll be stoked about that. Yeah, I hope so. John, you look beat. I don’t know, why wouldn’t you? Trip, Wendy, damn. That was some rescue.

Yeah, you’re a real hero, John. No, no, no, no, no hero here. Far from it. You know, I have been meaning to ask you, with that beautiful red mane of yours, are you of Irish descent? Hmm? Actually, I have no idea. My parents, um, they died when I was quite young. I grew up on a farm and I never knew any of my other biological relatives.

My main name is Simmons. Um, it could be Irish, I guess. Or Welsh. Or Scottish. Definitely Anglo Saxon. Yeah. Well, maybe I should have my DNA tested. Oh, , be careful. You never know who you might end up having as a relative. I myself believe I am a descendant of Les and the, the son of Zeus, the, the king of Gods.

Um, but then again, I, I could be a descendant of Hades and we know who He’s the ruler of . Well, although wherever we’re descendant from you and I. It doesn’t affect anything, does it? I mean, you can’t change the past. No, you can’t change it.

Sometimes there is something in our past that is so foul, we will never ever forget it.

Yes, send the arrangement to Paulina Price. The mayor, yes. And sign the card. Um, nothing but goodness and love. Maggie Kiriakis. That’s right. Thank you. Is your friend allowed to have flowers now? Oh yeah, she is. And she happens to love orchids. Oh my goodness! Come in! Have you had breakfast? Oh, we have blueberry muffins and sweet bits.

Mmm, well then come and sit down. Oh no, I can’t. I’m actually here just to pack our things. We leave this afternoon. Oh, you’re leaving so soon? Well, he has to because he has a wonderful new job. Tell him, tell him about the promotion. Tell. Well, for one, I’ll be spending a lot more time on international cases.

Impressive. With whom? Uh, the FBI. I’m a federal agent. Yes, he’s been a federal agent for a long time, but he’s done so well that he has been moved up. And he is going to have a new job with a great deal of promotion. Power and responsibility. He’s gonna rid the whole world of evil. Okay, Grandma. Anyone can do it.

You can’t, Eli.

You know, maybe Jude can wear the same christening gown that you wore when you were a baby. You still have it? Of course I do. It’s in a, in a bin in the basement. I’ll make sure I pull it out. Oh. Hey! Wow, looky here. Steve, sit, join us. We’re helping Harry plan Jude’s christening. Oh, well, you know, I’d love to join in on that, but, um, actually I saw John’s car outside.

We have a couple of things to discuss about a case. You mind if I borrow him for an hour or two? No, just return him in one piece. Hey, Steve, we’ll see you at the christening moment. I wouldn’t miss it.

So what’s up? Ava’s meeting us at the office in 20 minutes.

I trust you, Ava. I do, but dammit, you’re up to something. I know you are.

Grandma, it takes a hell of a lot more than one person to rid the world of evil. Don’t sell yourself short. You wouldn’t have this responsibility if you weren’t the best of the best. Okay. Spoken like a true loving and biased grandmother. You have made your family very proud, Eli. I I must be going. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely wife and children.

And, uh, I have to make a call to Greece before it’s too late in the evening.

We heard about Paulina’s recovery. Abe must be over the moon. He is. Uh, Lonnie, Schnell, I mean, we all are. Yeah. And I heard about Abe, too. He remembers everything. He does. It sucks that we can’t spend more time with them, but with this new job, I gotta get back to D. C. Yeah. But I’m thrilled that we’re leaving happy and not heartbroken.

Thank God. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking a sit. We really appreciate it. That’s Maggie’s new occupation. She’s running the Kiriakis Mansion bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Hey, hey, I am delighted with this new occupation. And I’m so happy that you came back, all of you. Please, I love being surrounded by family.

Come on, Rafe, nothing? Seriously, no leads? I mean, what about past hideouts or places Clyde used to visit? Okay, okay, just please call me if there’s any news. Thank you.

Well, there she is. Okay, let’s make this quick. I want to check in on Tripp and then I got some things I need to take care of. Then let’s get down to work. Okay. Yeah, speaking of which, after that stunt you pulled, we’re just lucky no one’s on to us. Everyone assumes Officer Goldman engineered Weston’s escape.

What he has over her, I can’t imagine. Oh, well, from what it looked like at the airfield, she’s his girlfriend. What? I didn’t see that coming. Okay, okay, okay, did you see anything else? I mean, did they say or do anything that would indicate where they’re headed or what their plans are? No, no, nothing, okay?

Just that monster was taunting me about my son being dead. Oh, my God. You realize that we’re in this mess because we trusted you, right? We didn’t expect you to stab us in the back. Okay, you know what? Get off your high horse, both of you, okay? You double crossed me first. The original plan was we were going to bust Weston out of prison and then let him go, so I just went back to the original plan.

Besides, We had no choice. There’s always a choice. Okay, well, you know what? Weston’s in the wind now. Nothing we can do. That doesn’t make it okay.

I can’t do this, man. We gotta make this right. I can’t live with myself. Knowing that SushiPath is out there destroying people’s lives because of us. I’m with you. You know, just a mere fact that we assisted in a prison escape. We scratched that. We didn’t assist in anything. We made it happen. No, it’s wrong.

It’s wrong. And it’s not what we do. Oh, so holier than thou. Okay, you know what? We have all three done things that we are not proud of. Okay? Some really bad things. Yeah, some really bad things. But those things are in the past. Not the past. John.

You okay?

Alright, the car’s all packed up. I’m picking Lonnie and the twins up at the hospital. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see you all. Please, please come back soon. I will, and you know I’m going to keep sending you pictures. You’d better. Grandma.

So proud of you. Just about to burst. And so happy. That your family’s all united and, and you know that’s the way it should be. Yeah, so am I. I love you. I love you. See you later. Bye.

Oh, oh Maggie. Uh, I know you have a million people living in this house right now, but without Eli and his family it’s gonna be a, an empty place for me and

Do I sound silly? Not at all. I know what it’s like to live in a house full of people. And still feel lonely.

Fatherhood looks good on you. Well, I’m fulfilled. It’s just, you know, June and I have an amazing connection and I just, I just really love that feeling. I’m so glad to hear that. Sloane, how is she? Um What? What did I miss? Go ahead, tell Dad. I had supper at their house a little while back and She got bombed.

Sloane got ways to that. Look, it isn’t so crazy unusual. I mean, she’s got a very taxing, demanding job. But she’s trying to be a perfect mom. What else is there? Well, I, it’s just sometimes I think she gets jealous of Jude. Oh. Have you two had that conversation? Yeah, I tried to explain it to her. It’s, I just, okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Jude.

I mean, I hate letting him cry or being apart from him. I understand that. Yeah, have I ever thanked you too? For what? Just being amazing parents, to me, you know. For being loving and so kind. You made it so easy, you always have. And you have thanked us. Many, many times in fact. But, Always nice to hear.

Voicemail. Again. Stefan! Quit blowing me off, okay? You call me, or you fine me. If you don’t, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do.

Right, no one but the three of us can ever know that we were behind the prison break. Oh yeah? Well, there’s still the issue of your mob pals helping us out. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. You keep saying that, Ava. But what’s it really gonna cost you? Whatever the price is, it is worth it because we saved our son.

Okay? Are we done here? For now. I’m going back to the hospital. Alright, I’ll head out with you. You coming, John? I’ve got a few things I need to follow up on here. Okay. You take it easy, man. Yeah, you too.

I need to see you. Copy to Oblige, where are you? Black Patch. I’ll be right there.

Hey, what’s up with John? Not sure what you mean. Really? Okay, well, you know, you know him a lot better than I do, but sometimes it seems like he just checks out. Yeah, well, I’ve known John for over 30 years, and sometimes he’s a mystery even to me. Yeah, right. Okay. Um, hey, you know, uh, By the way,

You know when you pulled Trip out of the beer tank, and he wasn’t breathing, I, uh, I just about stopped breathing too. But we brought him back. No, you didn’t. You did, so thank you. I am incredibly grateful to you, and I just hope that you know that. I do. And hey, we, we got Wendy to thank too for being smart with that sign language.

Yeah, she’s a very smart, smart young lady, that’s for sure. Look, look, I know, I know that you, you disapprove of the way that I handle things. Okay, no, forget that. It’s an understatement. You, you, you hate the way I handle things, but look, I just need you to know that the safety trip was the only thing that was on my mind.

Okay, hey, boo. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess, you know that, right? But if you had just trusted me, maybe John and I could have saved him. Without letting Weston go. Yeah, or maybe not.

Okay. Agree to disagree. You’re going to the hospital. Yeah, maybe a little later. I just have a few things I need to check on at the house first.

Been a while since I’ve caught up with you. So, as they say in New Jersey, How you doing?
