What are you doing here, man? Yeah. And in your condition, why would they released me? They didn’t. I, uh, checked myself out against medical advice.
Harris, you don’t need to do this, okay? Listen to me. We’ve got this handled. Okay? We don’t need you. Yes, you do need me. You can always use an extra pair of eyes and knowing everything that I know now, there’s no way I’m just gonna lie in that hospital bed and do nothing.

Okay, what have you uncovered so far? Well, we’re searching her apartment as we speak. We’ve got an APB out on her and our car. Yeah, a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Expired plates. Highway Patrol’s been looped in. We’re also searching her financial records and phone records. Although it would be amateur hour for her to have not used a burner phone.
And clearly, she’s not an amateur considering the way that she played us. Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a cop. She knows exactly what we’re doing. How we win this is by skating to where the puck’s gonna be, not where it is right now.
John Stega, wait, how did you get back here? You know, it took us all of three minutes to knock your goons out and leave them on the side of the road. Damn it, Ava. Look, I didn’t have a choice. You had a choice. Okay, he lied to me, that bastard, he lied. And now he’s long gone, isn’t he?
Steve. Our son. Our son. What about our son, Ava? What did Clyde tell you? He said that Tripp was as good as dead. Well, I’ll tell you something. I don’t trust anything that psychopath says. I won’t accept that. I won’t believe it until every stone is turned over. What have I done? This is, this is all my fault.
Shut up!
We don’t have time for that, Ava. We’ve got to find Trip before it’s too late. I’m going to hold my, hold my house somewhere.
Where? The countryside.
Where I have, uh, I have two kids. A boy and a girl. Two kids? Yes. And it’ll be, it’ll be perfect. Because, because you’re, you’re perfect. I want, I love you so much. I love you. My sweet husband. And I love you too. What the hell is that? Oh my god! Dean!
Lexi, Lexi,
that was, that was my first wife’s name, I, I read that in my dossier,
you died, right? She died, she died, right? Years ago, Brain cancer. You had us fun together.
Theo! What? Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you going to take her? Are you here to take her to the other side? Abraham. Darling.
It’s my time. No, no, no, no, no, no. It is not your time. I will not let you take her. I won’t let you, do you hear me? I won’t let you take her.
I can’t believe I, I gave that lowlife a shoulder to lean on. No, I comforted her when she shot that drug dealer. And we took her word for it. But he drew on her first. She executed the guy to keep him from talking. She was cleaning up for Clyde. All that time, right under our nose. Wait, her sore arm.
Remember? The night of the attempted murder of Lucas at the pub? She said she hurt herself at the gym or something. But, but Kate, Kate shot at the assailant. Oh my god, it’s all adding up now. How did we not see this? Because she’s good. Did either one of you, uh, question Officer Phillips? Yeah. Yeah, we did.
And? And while he’s not thrilled to be on death’s duty, he understands that we also need to investigate him. He was curious about being betrayed and seemed shocked about what she did. Only god knows what else we’re gonna uncover. Dane,
oh my god. What are you doing here? You did it. You’re alive. I can’t believe I’m looking at you. And that, that you’re okay, Holly. I’ve, I’ve missed you so much. Dane, you shouldn’t be here. No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t worry. No one knows. No one saw me. So Tell me, did you go to the other side? What happened? I mean, I was in a coma for a while, but I woke up, as you can see.
Oh my god. After I found you at the party, after you OD’d, Holly, I thought you were gonna die. And I didn’t know what I was gonna do. I was, there was no way I could have dealt with that. I was thinking maybe I’d buy a one way ticket somewhere far away, but You don’t have to go anywhere.
So, I’m really okay? I, um, I feel like Uh,
um Well Well? You little Romeo. I can’t believe you just scaled a trellis to climb into my room. You know the last time a boy did that was in sixth grade? And he spent the rest of the school year with a cast on his right arm. Hmm. Well, trust me, I’ve done crazier. I believe that. Uh, so, were you gonna tell me what you’re doing here?
Well, uh, you wouldn’t answer any of my calls, my DMs, and I, I don’t have a carrier pigeon, so I kind of felt like I was running out of options. Yeah, I, I know, I just, I didn’t really know what to say to you. But I guess I know what I want to say now. And I’m sorry, Tate. I’m really, really sorry.
Listen, you gotta call Rafe. You gotta get this video into the hands of the police right now. I can’t hurt. All right, look. No talk about the Western escape. Okay, look. I don’t care. I don’t care what they do to me. I only care about my son and what happens to him and that he’s okay. Rafe. John Black. Hey, John.
What’s up? What? I’m sitting here with Steve and Ava. And Ava received a very disturbing video. Oh yeah? Of what? Of Tripp and Wendy being held hostage. Situation looks dire. So far we’re betting zero. Want to take a look at it? When did you receive it? It’s time sensitive, man. You want to look at it or not?
Yeah, okay. Send it over. On its way. Okay. Maybe they can pick up on something we missed. Well, let’s hope so. But in the meantime, how about we take another look? Fire it up.
Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video. You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do.
And be sure to do exactly as you’re told. Wait a minute. When you’re contacted. I’m missing something. I think I do. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. No.
Where is my shepherd? I shall not want. He, makes me lie down and, Creeping pastures.
Leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.
Wendy.
Abe, do you remember when I last saw you? When you, you last saw me. Yes, it was in heaven. Lexi, oh my
god.
It’s been ten years since I lost you.
It’s not a days gone by that I, that I don’t think of you, that miss you. You’re still in my heart. And in Theos, my precious son, he’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, There you are. My sweet Lexi. You raised him well, Abe. Oh no, no. I won’t take credit. Not all of it. You, you, you were there, as I said, and, and, and you are in his heart and in his smile.
You’re there, always. Always. Always. Always. See? I remember.
I remember now. I remember it all. I remember when we met. We met at the Salem PD and we We were partners. I Paulina? Paulina! Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means? Do you know what this means, my love? Hey,
hey. Don’t be sorry. It’s okay, really. Come on, sit. Hey. No. Look, Holly, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s not fine. It’s not. I’m embarrassed. Actually, no, more than embarrassed, I’m ashamed. I should have known better. I mean, you even told me not to take those pills, but I did it anyways. Honestly, I thought they were just ADHD meds.
Just good old fashioned stims. Harmless. I should have listened to you, Tate. Wait. That’s why you’re sorry? Well, yeah. Is there something else I should be sorry about? Polly, do you have any idea what happened after you OD’d? I got in I got in terrible trouble. EJ blamed me for giving you those drugs. What?
Yeah, he said I forced you to take them. They were laced with opiates, which is Why you overdosed. He had me arrested, Holly. Lexi,
we had quite the life together, didn’t we?
We had our, we had our ups and downs, but we were so very much in love. We had our son, Leo. Oh my god, you were, you were chief of staff right here, right here at this hospital.
Seems I only fall in love with competent, feisty women. Yes, that seems to be true. But now, you need to focus on just one woman, Ape. The woman you’ve committed the rest of your life to. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Yes, this woman. This woman. She is my life now. She’s everything. She’s my everything. I remember. I remember.
Our wedding
looks so beautiful
and we, we jumped the prune because it was June 19th. June 19th. That’s the day that we became, we became husband and wife.
We have
so much life to live. Right, my darling? Paulina? Paulina? Paulina, are you with me? Paulina? Paulina?
No!
No! I think the
proof’s all here. Clyde is behind this. He’s the mastermind. He knew kidnapping Tripp would get Ava to do anything he demanded for her to save her son. But his plan to take me out failed miserably. And Goldman being the mole, I think we have a little bit of a criminal conspiracy on our hands. Goldman.
Goldman. Goldman. I had Goldman fill out the missing persons report. Wendy and Tripp. Everything looked fine until Damn. Check the contact for intel. Rebecca Goldman. What’s up? Pretty damn cunning. If anyone reached out, it would go straight to her.
Pull her GPS info. Pull her GPS info. When Wendy and Tripp went missing.
Hey, you alright? Yeah. Hey, are you okay? Are you sure you’re okay to do this? Alright. Yeah, I’m sure. Get on the phone then. Contact the prison. See if there’s any communication between Goldman and Clyde. I’m on it. Alright. They’re pulling up the squad’s GPS. Okay, good. That’s how police leads or something.
Look, I was focusing on Tripp before. But look at Wendy here. She’s, she’s been making these gestures behind him. Look, she, she brushes her hand across her cheek from the top to bottom and then making these circular motions two or three times. Yup. There it is, I see it, I see it. Okay. What are you doing?
Checking the ASL site. ASL? American Sign Language. Kayla and I studied it when she lost her hearing for a while. What, you think, you think that Wendy is, is using sign language? Yes, I do. That’s it. I got it. That’s, that’s ASL for beer. Beer? Why would Wendy be making the sign for beer? Hey, hey, hey. Look at this.
In the background, see the rivets on that metal there? Yeah. See that curvature? Looks like some sort of a tank. A brew tank! Hey man, isn’t there a brewery out past the airport? That has been abandoned for years. We were at the airport. We were just there. Let’s move. Okay.
Wait, EJ, he had you arrested? Yeah, yeah, he did. First, they sent me to jail, and then they sent me to this awful place for GV criminals, and then finally they moved me to this stupid rehab center called Serenity Salem. Oh my god, Tate, I’m so sorry. Don’t I had no idea. Don’t be sorry. Just, help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth.
Tell them what, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly, you have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.
I can’t.
I’m getting nowhere with Statesville right now. They said there’s some type of toxic chemical spill tonight, so their hands are full. Wait, I think I got something here. What is it? Okay, starting from the date that Wendy and Tripp disappeared until today, there’s one address here that’s listed over a dozen times.
And it’s too far out of town to be a stop on Goldman’s patrol. Run it. Can we uh, let’s hope we hit pay dirt here. It’s the brewery, by the airport. Bingo. Okay, I’m going with you. Alright, good. You find out exactly what’s going on at Statesville. You should check the printout and see if Goldman made any more stops.
Any at all. She stopped for a cold hot dog. I want to know about it. Okay, and you will. Let’s go. Tripp! Tripp! Tripp! Wendy! Wendy! I told her! They’re here! Are they alive? Just stay back for now. Just stay here.
Lexi.
I remember after, after I got shot, you appeared to me from heaven. And you said, you said it wasn’t my time. You said that I was needed. Here in this life, we can’t be together. I don’t want to leave you. I’ll be here. My darling waiting, but it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.
Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children. The children need me. And my grandchildren, my friends, Paulina.
I know I have to go back. And so you will, my love. God bless you, Maxine.
Needed it. By my kids. My friends. And Paulina. And you still are.
I need her, Lexi. I, we, we need her. She, she, she, she’s, she’s scattered on by so many people.
She She can’t leave. She can’t leave. I’m not here to take anyone, Abe. I’m here to help you. To help Paulina. Close your eyes. Now look deep into your heart. And feel the love inside of it. Can you feel it, Abe? Good. Now take that feeling of love and transfer it to her. Transfer it? Transfer it? How? How? Believe, Abe.
You have to believe what’s in your heart. Believe. Believe.
I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it.
What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t what, tell the truth? This is my life we’re talking about here, Holly, and right now I have no life. I am stuck in some awful halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly! Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours.
I just can’t tell them they were mine. What? No, but Holly, they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it? Tate, Tate, please. Please, we can make up another story. Why do we have to make up another story? Why can’t you just tell the truth? Because, Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.
And, I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, God, with me almost dying? I mean, if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me, I I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Oh my god.
So, you are going to sacrifice me. You are going to totally ruin my future so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend you’re just this little golden child? It’s not like that. Then what is it like, Holly? Please. Please. Holly, please, you have to help me. Come on, Ricky,
come on. Back to me, kid. Come on, kid. Come on, come on. Are they breathing? Come on. Ava, stay back, please. Are they breathing? Tell me! Call 9 1 1. I already did. Call again! Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey. Hey. Yes, yes, yes. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Yes, I just called. Yes, a few minutes ago about two people that we found out at the brewery.

Phyllis: I’m sorry. I– I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be in your way. That’s accidental. I didn’t do it on purpose, but don’t, you know, say that to anyone in this town. They won’t believe you. [ Phyllis chuckles ] Hello. This is a surprise.
Nick: What’s, uh, going on?
Phyllis: Buy me a drink and I’ll tell you.
Nikki: Victor, evading my question only makes me more suspicious. Now, I’ve asked you, where are you going at this hour?
Victor: And I have told you.
Nikki: But you didn’t give me a straight answer.
Victor: Because I don’t want to worry you.
Nikki: You don’t think it worries me that you won’t answer a simple question?
Victor: All right, I’ll tell you.
Nikki: Thank you.
Victor: Have a seat. So… I’ve heard from jordan.
Nikki: And?
Victor: She took my bait.
Nikki: What does that mean?
Victor: I want to meet with her.
Nikki: Oh, victor, no.
Victor: Yes. Don’t worry. Everything’s under control.
Nikki: So that’s where you’re going right now? To meet jordan?
Victor: Yeah.
[ Jordan humming ]
[ Jordan chuckles ]
[ Jordan sighs ]
Marshalls buyers have a very
particular set of skills.
Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…
Victor: Yes, send him in.
Nikki: How do you know that jordan’s not planning a trap of her own?
Victor: I’m sure she is. But I have it under control. I have the upper hand, okay?
Nikki: We have thought that before, victor, but look where we are.
Victor: Sweetheart, I promise you, this time will be successful. This is the last stage of a plan I have to make sure that woman will not cause pain to our family again.
Michael: Okay, I’m here. What’s the emergency? Oh.
Victor: All arranged?
Michael: So, this is it, huh? This is really happening tonight.
Victor: Yes.
Michael: Well, uh, yeah, everything’s arranged as ordered, uh, but I want to tell you that I’m not crazy about this. I don’t like the legal risks you’re taking or the legal risks I’m taking.
Nikki: All right, well, one of you please tell me what is going on? What is happening, and where did this last stage of your plan come from?
Victor: Sweetheart, the less you know, the better, all right? I have this under control. I’ll be back and tell you everything. Um… I adore you. You know that. You’ve gotta trust me now, all right? Let’s go.
Claire: Nikki? I didn’t expect to find you up at this hour. Are– are you okay?
Nikki: Oh, yeah, yeah. I’ve– I’ve just been handling some things. Uh, I’m too keyed up to go to bed yet.
Claire: I think I have the perfect solution.
Nikki: And what would that be?
Claire: Let me distract you again. Only this time, you tell me a story.
Nick: Nah, drink’s not gonna happen for you. I feel like you’ve had plenty already.
Phyllis: Sometimes you just need to annihilate the darkness.
Nick: Really?
Phyllis: Mm-hmm.
Nick: Okay, phyllis.
Phyllis: I had an epiphany. Do you want to hear it?
Nick: Sure.
Phyllis: Don’t try to change. Ever. It’s a waste of time.
Nick: You know that’s not true, phyllis. I’ve admired the way you’ve tried to change.
Phyllis: It’s true. Oh, what good has it done? I mean, my kids… still walk around me like they’re walking on eggshells.
[ Sighs ] My friends… I don’t even have any friends, that’s for sure. And, uh, then… I thought I really had a chance at happiness. That just blew up in my face. It was crushed under… the history… that I have that I will never, ever escape from. So, why try?
Did you know you waste
200 hours a year
Nick: I don’t suppose this “second chance at something” has anything to do with a certain rock star that we were talking about at society the other night?
Phyllis: It doesn’t matter.
Nick: All of a sudden, danny romalotti doesn’t matter?
Phyllis: Oh, don’t say his name, please. Don’t say his name. Uh, why did I even try?
Nick: Well, when we were talking, you gave me the impression that things were on the upswing with you two.
Phyllis: Yeah. Well, I was wrong. He told me who he really wanted, and it’s not me.
Nick: He actually said that?
Phyllis: Yeah. He actually said that.
[ Nick sighs ] You know, when I was standing there, humiliated and rejected… you know what my first impulse was?
Nick: Well, I hope I’m wrong about this, but I’m guessing it was revenge.
Phyllis: It was revenge. That’s what my first impulse was. See? I can’t change. It’s like my default. It’s just my tiger stripes. I’ve been trying to change this whole time, and I can’T. It’s just obviously who I am.
[ Phyllis sobbing ] So why should I even try to change?
Nick: Okay, don’t– don’t do that.
Phyllis: Do what?
Nick: This “you can’t change” garbage, and that’s what it is. All right? We both know that’s not true.
Phyllis: Yeah, how do you know that?
Nick: Because we’ve all watched you do it for months, and do it very well, by the way. You can change. You did change.
Phyllis: Oh, I haven’t, nick. I haven’T. And even if you think I have, so what? So damn what? Where’s my drink?
Nick: No, we’re not gonna do that, all right? I’ve got a better offer for you.
Phyllis: What is your better offer?
Nick: Instead of a drink, why don’t you let me buy you some dinner? Junk food. All you want, whatever you want.
Phyllis: What kind of junk food?
Nick: Name it.
Phyllis: Um… how about, uh, room service junk food?
[ Laughs ] I mean–
Nick: Really?
Phyllis: Yeah, it is the best, because no one will see me eating.
[ Phyllis laughs ] And I want to change out of this dress. I feel embarrassed, so…
Nick: Okay. Let’s do it. You lead the way. Hey, let’s, you know, just– let’s leave that.
[ Phyllis laughs ]
Phyllis: Ooh.
Nick: Okay, o– okay.
Phyllis: Yeah, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s all right.
Nick: You’re doing great.
Phyllis: It’s okay.
Nikki: It’s sweet of you to try to distract me, but… I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.
Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman? I read about a million versions of it, and jordan spoon-fed me more dirt on all of you than I ever wanted to know.
[ Nikki sighs ]
Nikki: I can only imagine. Well, all right. But you asked for it, so… fasten your seatbelt.
Michael: I don’t feel great about this location, victor.
Victor: Why?
Michael: I think it was a mistake not to bring police back up. If jordan shows up to meet you, they take her into custody. It’s over. End of story.
Victor: She would have noticed that a mile away.
Michael: I do have one favor to ask you.
Victor: What’s that?
Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. Look, I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.
Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay?
[ Clattering ] Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report. -And i scored a goal on ashley. -That’s cool. And I went for a walk in the woods and I didn’t get a single flea or tick on me. You are just the best. Probably because of that flea and tick medicine you’ve been ordering from chewy. We are very proud of you. You never stop surprising us, bailey. Right? I’m great. You are greaT. I wonder if bailey’s ever done a book report. Be nice to your sister. What flea bit him? Pets aren’t just pets. They’re more. This flea and tick season, get 20% off your first pharmacy order at chewy. All of the things that
Victor: Now you have given yourself an impressive advantage. I mean, look at those rooftops. No way I could position the sniper. Not that that thought ever occurred to me.
Jordan: No, because that would be so unsportsmanlike. So un-victor newman of you.
Victor: I said I would come with my lawyer. No cops, just one man. I kept my word.
Jordan: Well, that’s funny, because my sister never said that about you before she died. But that was decades ago. People do change.
Victor: Well, some do, and some don’T.
Jordan: You are beginning to bore me. So let’s get right to the point, okay? Mr. Man of his word, tell me about this restitution.
[ Michael clears throat ] What have we here?
Victor: It’s your new life.
Jordan: Oh. You’ve got my attention. Tell me more.
Victor: It’s a bank account with 10 million bucks in it.
Jordan: Nice.
Victor: And a new passport, new identity, new birth certificate. Ball of wax.
Jordan: Go on.
Victor: And keys and a deed to a new house in the south of france.
Jordan: Oh. With or without a pool?
Victor: Well, what do you think? Imagine. You can start a new life. Beautiful home, beautiful country. Don’t have to worry about a damn thing.
[ Jordan scoffs ]
Jordan: Sounds so very tempting.
Victor: Just think. You no longer have to be on the run. No cops on your tail. No worries about prosecution. All you have to do is leave the united states. Never look back.
Nikki: I guess the best place to start would be my late teens. Not a part of my life that I’m particularly proud of.
Claire: Why? What was going on with you?
Nikki: Oh, I was very naive and a bit promiscuous. Kind of a wild child. I took every wrong path I came across.
Claire: Like what?
Nikki: Well… I signed on to a modeling agency that turned out to be a front for prostitution. And then I joined a commune that turned out to be a cult.
Claire: I’m so sorry, nikki. I didn’t know any of that.
Nikki: Then I got a job dancing at a club called the bayou. I’m certain you heard about that.
Claire: It was one of jordan’s fixations, yes.
Nikki: Well, in the meantime, a very handsome, successful older man named victor newman was going through a rough time. His first wife had left him, and he was depressed. So one night, his best friend, douglas austin, decided to cheer him up by taking him out to a club.
Claire: The one where you were working?
Nikki: Exactly. So victor was sitting in the audience when I came out on stage that night. It was the first time we ever laid eyes on each other.
Claire: Did he ask you out?
Nikki: Um, no, not exactly. It was more like he took me under his wing. He was determined to transform this mess, street-smart, punk kid into a sophisticated young lady. Uh, he arranged for etiquette lessons, and I learned how to dress, learned how to carry on proper conversation at a cocktail party.
Victor: We’ll have to make time for music. The piano you have at home probably isn’t very good, so I want you to come here and practice for about an hour or two every day. And then you’ll need some coaching, and I’ll arrange for that.
Nikki: Well, those lessons are gonna cost a lot of money.
Victor: Well, I can afford to indulge my whims, and right now it just suits me to give you some music lessons.
Nikki: And what do you want in return? I mean, nobody takes the time and money to do this sort of thing for a person if they don’t want something back.
Victor: Well, the finished product will be my reward. I mean, when I’m done with you, you’ll be ready to go anywhere and meet anyone. You’ll be an accomplished and cultured woman. So now, play again. And this time with more legato.
Nikki: Oh, you– you know about music, too?
Victor: I know something about almost everything, and so will you.
Claire: And in the process, the two of you fell in love?
Nikki: Oh, well, I did. He didn’T. Not– not yet.
Claire: Jordan said that the two of you were married several times.
Nikki: Well, that is true, uh, to each other and to other people. We’ve both been through a lot, but, um, we always managed to find our way back to each other. And I guess that’s a testament to the devotion we have for one another and for our children, our grandchildren. Family is very important to us. You see, victor was raised in an orphanage.
Claire: I had read that, but jordan said that that was just a phony publicity story manufactured by newman enterprises to counteract victor’s ruthless reputation.
Victor: Well, for his sake, I wish that were true, but he did grow up in an orphanage, and family was something that he always yearned for. And now that he has one, he makes damn sure that nothing will happen to any of us, including you.
Claire: Me? After everything I did?
Nikki: As far as he’s concerned, anyone with a drop of newman blood is family, and he will love and protect them forever.
Claire: This doesn’t sound anything like the terrible man I grew up hearing about. When did eve howard come into your lives?
[ Door opens ]
Phyllis: Wait here.
Nick: I plan to.
Phyllis: Okay.
Nick: Wow. [ Sighs ] Hey, how’s it going? Uh, could I get some food sent up? Yeah, um, let’s go with a couple of cheeseburgers, some fries, uh, onion rings, and mac and cheese. Yeah, two orders of each. Thanks. Bye.
Phyllis: Did you get onion rings or grilled cheese?
Nick: Uh, I got onion rings and mac and cheese, so…
Phyllis: Oh, mac and cheese! Oh, my favorites. Because you know my motto, do you remember? “I never met a carb that I didn’t like.” Yeah.
Nick: Yeah.
Phyllis: Well, you can go. Yeah, you can go. Thank you for taking care of me for, like, the one-… billionth time that I’m not at my best, so thank you.
Nick: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. You think I’m gonna let you have all this food to yourself? No.
[ Phyllis clears throat ]
Phyllis: Listen, if you could not tell summer or daniel that this happened, I’d really appreciate it. I know that’s a lot to ask, you know, considering, um, my luck these days. I’m not counting on it, but…
Nick: I promise you, neither one of them’s gonna hear a word about this from me.
Phyllis: Thank you.
Nick: Sure.
Phyllis: Do you want a nightcap?
Nick: No, I’m good, thanks.
Phyllis: I mean, do you mind if I make myself one?
Nick: Not at all.
Phyllis: All right. Thank you.
[ Phyllis clears throat ]
Nick: You know, you could just put the drink down, and we could talk about whatever it is that’s bothering you. You could, uh, rant, whatever. Get anything you want off your chest. I’m here to listen.
Phyllis: No judgment?
Nick: I wouldn’t, even if I was thinking it. I would’ve called yesterday.
Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Do I love speed walking?…
Phyllis: So, um, abby gave me the restaurant, and, I mean, the entire restaurant plus the kitchen because danny was gonna make his pasta recipe. His, um… he makes a special, uh, sauce, and he was gonna make it. Um, so it was just gonna be one last night before he, um, went on tour.
Nick: So danny is leaving town?
Phyllis: Yeah, he’s leaving town.
Nick: Well, I mean, it sounds like you came up with a pretty cool way to say goodbye.
Phyllis: Yeah. It’s very romantic.
Nick: Please tell me he showed up.
Phyllis: Yeah, he showed up. With christine.
Nick: Oh. Ouch.
Phyllis: Ouch.
Nick: Sorry.
Phyllis: Yeah, it was kind of ouch. You know, this time I really felt like danny and i had a chance. I know it sounds weird, but I just felt like, um… that I was being rewarded for changing like I’ve been doing. I’ve been working really hard. And I felt like it– it was fate. They were giving me a do-over. Um… you know, that I was getting a chance to… right so many wrongs from my past. You know. And I felt like, um, danny and I really connected in a different way this time.
Nick: Sounds to me like you did a great job. You know, you might be looking at this the wrong way, though. It’s not a matter of good versus bad. It’s just a human thing, you know, a connection. Danny and christine, they always click.
Phyllis: I click with him, too. I didn’t just imagine that. I mean, it was really there. I guess I’M… just not enough. Wow. How am I not enough?
Nick: You are. You are enough, all right? And you… you will be for… someone else.
Phyllis: Who? Who? Where are they? It’s weird talking about this with you. I can’t talk about this with you. It’s just really hard. Um… I’ve been working so hard at being better. Being better than I was, at least. It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And be the person that everybody in this town wants me to be. Every day is hard. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone. That’s all. And lonely.
Claire: Nikki, I’m sorry. That was stupid. Your story’s wonderful, and I shouldn’t have asked about my grandmother. Just skip over the eve howard part. It’s probably the last thing you want to relive right now after the nightmare you’ve been through.
Nikki: Well, you know what? It might be helpful for me to just get it all out. That’s a long, complicated story. Did jordan ever tell you that eve tried to poison victor?
Claire: No. She always made it out like eve was so innocent and loving, that victor betrayed her.
Nikki: She was a menace, just like her sister. She was arrested and taken to a psychiatric facility.
Claire: Oh, like me.
Nikki: No, not like you. Everything she did was of her own free will. And unlike you, she didn’t want to get well. So she just continued on her path of destruction. And then she read in the paper that victor and i were getting married, so she infiltrated our wedding, disguised as a caterer, and tried to stab me.
Claire: What? Knives and the disguises and the poison, it’s– it’s just like jordan. I didn’t know any of this.
Nikki: Well, no, of course not. She couldn’t tell you the truth about these things and still pretend to be righteous. I didn’t tell you this to upset you. I’m so sorry if I did. I just think that you deserve to know the truth about both sides of your family.
Claire: I do, yeah. Thank you for telling me. It’s just… it makes me think.
Nikki: About what?
Claire: Everything I did. The lies, the deception, the drugging, the alcohol in your iv.
Nikki: Honey, that was all jordan’s influence.
Claire: But still, I’m the one who did those things. What if their madness is in me?
Michael: For pete’s sake, the offer’s on the table. Take it or leave it.
Victor: Now, jordan, you know that your sister eve would not want you to spend the rest of your life in prison just to avenge her.
Jordan: Of course she wouldn’T. So what’s the catch?
Victor: Nothing. No catch.
Jordan: Really?
Victor: No.
Jordan: So what’s to stop you from calling the authorities and informing them about my new identity and then having them arrest me at the airport before I even board the plane? Or perhaps, perhaps, you’ve already rigged that lovely chateau in france to go boom the minute that I show up. I’m not an idiot, victor.
Michael: Neither is victor. He antic– he anticipated that you’d think that.
Victor: I have a solution. I will assure you that this won’t happen.
Jordan: I can’t wait to hear it.
Victor: You take me… as your hostage. Breathing claritin clear is like…
Jordan: So take you as my hostage?
Victor: Mm-hmm.
Jordan: Tell me how that would work.
Victor: Very simple. You take me to a hideaway that only you know about. You lock me up… until you have made your escape. Then you call my lawyer. Tell him where he can find me.
Jordan: What if I should decide to just leave you there to rot?
Michael: Then I will personally see to it that your $10 million… bank account vanishes into thin air and your location and new identity is reported to interpol.
Victor: Think about it. Dream of your new life, a beautiful country, beautiful mansion, swimming pool, more money than you can ever dream of. And all shattered… because of you.
Nikki: You are nothing like your grandmother and your aunt. I won’t even let you think such a thing. The fact that you were able to change so dramatically after all those miserable years with jordan, I mean, that just proves what a kind and decent person you are.
Claire: Your opinion of my mental state… of my decency, really… it’s what I’ve feared the most, so… thank you for saying that.
Nikki: I’m not just saying it. I mean it. Jordan tried to destroy both of us. But look at us now. And if victor is right, things may take a turn tonight, and we will be rid of jordan forever.
Claire: How? What’s happening tonight?
Nick: Phyllis, no.
[ Phyllis moans ] No. No.
Phyllis: Yes.
Nick: All right? This is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.
Phyllis: Oh, it’s not. Name one reason.
Nick: Stop. Stop it. All right? For one, you’re not thinking clearly right now, and I’m a gentleman. All right? And… we both know where this goes from here. We cannot go back to that.
Phyllis: Okay, listen, I’m gonna propose this. How about this? No strings. No strings. All right? Just two… lonely people… who love each other very much.
Nick: I’M… I never said anything about being lonely.
Phyllis: Yes, you are. Yes, you are lonely. Yes, you are. I could see it. Sally dumped you for adam.
Nick: Okay. Now we brought up adam. That’s like an instant cold shoulder.
[ Knocking on door ] Food’s here. All right, perfect. Let’s get some carbs in you asap. Hey, how’s it going? Thank you so much. All right, here you go. Thank you. Appreciate you.
Bellhop: Sir.
Phyllis: I know you love me just a little. ()
Nick: I mean, we’ve talked about this many times, phyllis. We will always be woven into each other’s lives. And it’s not just because of summer. It’s also because of our, uh… amazing history. Which includes a lot of mistakes. A lot of mistakes. But I hope you know, no matter how tough times get, you can always count on me. Just like I know I can always count on you. Well, I mean, usually.
Phyllis: Always. You can always count on me. I love talking to you. I love listening to you. We could have done this in bed.
Nick: Yeah, we could have. You would have regretted that.
Phyllis: No, I wouldn’T.
Nick: Oh, phyllis. I’m gonna go. Yeah, I’m gonna go. Are you okay?
Phyllis: Well, I mean, I’m fine. Thank you, thank you for everything tonight.
Nick: Glad I could help.
[ Both laugh ]
Phyllis: Thank you. I mean it. Thank you.
Nick: Anytime.
Nikki: All I know is that jordan reached out to victor tonight and they made plans to meet. Aside from that, I’m as much in the dark as you are.
Claire: God, I hope he’s okay.
Nikki: Just don’t lose sight of the fact that if victor’s plan works tonight, we have you to thank.
Claire: No. Not me at all.
Nikki: Yes, you. You had the strength to reach out to a woman who terrifies you, all for the good of your new family. The courage that it took for you to set tonight in motion, that’s the newman side of you. You have proven that deep in your soul, you are a newman.
Victor: So what is it going to be? A life of wealth? And freedom that you could never have imagined? Or the life you have today? Alone. Despised. Hunted like an animal. Do we have a deal?

General Hospital Transcript
Transcript provided by Suzanne
THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
Another dead end. All the safe houses are empty. Not that we should be surprised. It would be unlike jason to allow himself to be found. He’s in trouble, spinelli. That much is clear from the footage. So, think. You know jason better than anyone else.
[ Engine sputters ] Um, where — where would he hide out?
[ Engine sputtering ] Maxie? Uh-oh. Not only do you let me hide out in here, but you bring me provisions? Best son ever. The doughnut is from an actual bakery, by the way. A gift from a patient who was discharged earlier. Mm. So, you’re saying it’s edible? The coffee, on the other hand, is G.H.’S finest. Ah. I’ll proceed with caution. Smart move. So, why are you, anyway, hiding out? You know you can wait in the icu with everyone else. I know, but I want to give dante’s family some space. I don’t suppose you’ve heard any updates? Not in the last 20 minutes. God. They must all be going out of their minds. That’s exactly what I’m worried about.
[ Knock on door ] Hey, jake. Hi, finn. My mom’s not home yet. Oh. Her shift was supposed to have ended a little while ago. She texted. She’s running late. Ah. Must be some unforeseen hospital business. Um, it’s — it’s cool if you want to come in and — and wait. Yeah? You sure? Yeah. Ah. Thanks. How’s, uh — how’s school going? Uh, pretty good. Really? Yeah. Is this yours? Thank you so much. Good night. Danny! Hey. It’s pretty late to be out. What are you doing here? Sasha. What are you —
[ Exhales heavily ] I was so worried about you. Until 10 minutes ago, I thought jason was dead. How the hell do you have a warrant to search my house? We petitioned a federal judge. Based on your long association with the fugitive in question, we had reason to believe that jason would come here. And we had reason to believe that you would aid and abet him. Okay, well, you can show your warrant to my lawyer when she gets here. Until then, wait outside.
Oh, good. You found my game piece. It’s not a game piece. It’s from a vape pen. But you know that already. I swear it’s not what it looks like. Okay.
[ Sighs ] It’s — it’s not mine. Alright. Whose is it? Someone from school. And you have it because…? Because… I was — I was freaked out, you know? I mean, I took it from this person who was using it a lot, and, you know, I know it’s not — it’s not good for him. Right, jake. You know, we’re still learning about all the negative long-term effects. You know, vapes were originally designed to help people stop smoking, but now they’re being marketed to kids, and they’re highly addictive. How’d your friend react when you took it from him? He was not happy. Yeah, I bet. What makes you think he’s a friend? Well, if you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be worried, right? You must be really worried about dante. Me and scout and rocco are staying at the quartermaines’ so my mom could be with dante. Scout and rocco are asleep, so I snuck out and caught a ride share. I just wanted to check on dante. I totally get where you’re coming from. And your mom is doing the best she can in an extremely difficult situation. So let’s go talk to her, okay? She’ll be mad. No, she won’T. Trust me. Dante’s family is an agony waiting for him to wake up. And I’m worried, too. I like dante a lot. He’s a really decent guy, and I hate that this happened to him. That all goes without saying. I just wish… what is it, tj? Dante is kristina’s brother
and brother-in-law. He is an important to her on multiple levels, so of course she came to the hospital to see if he’s okay and to be with the family. Okay, you need to stop qualifying and tell me what’s going on. Judgment-free zone. Remember? What I’m about to say, you cannot repeat to molly. I won’T. Kristina’s our surrogate and egg donor. And on one hand, that is awesome. Molly’s gonna have a biological tie to our child, another davis boy or girl in the making. But on the other hand? It’s not clean, like getting the donor egg from someone you’ll never know or you’ll never meet. This is really, really close to home. Alright, but there’s something else. I can tell. Guess who else our child is going to be biologically tied to. Sonny corinthos. I’ve been trying to reach you ever since I heard about dante. I’ve been calling, texting. I even left a voicemail. That’s major. Right. Well, I-I mean, I’m sorry I didn’t call you back. My phone must have been on “do not disturb” or something — no. Don’t apologize. Don’t apologize. No, it’s — I’m just concerned. One of your oldest friends is in the hospital. Yeah. Yeah, sasha. He might not make it. Oh, cody. Why did you not call me? You knew I would have been here in a heartbeat. Yeah, that’s — I mean, that’s why I didn’T. He’s still unconscious. But stable? For now. I’ll take stable. Stable’s good. Danny, what are you doing here? Does drew known you’re here? I came by myself. You — does he know that you left? So you snuck out again. Sam. He’s worried about dante. Nobody’s telling us anything. I wanted to see how he’s doing. Thank you. Yeah. Of course. And know that dante’s in my prayers. We appreciate that. Good night, elizabeth. Good night. I am sorry you feel out of the loop. It’s just that we really don’t know anything right now. I’m touched that you came. I know dante will be touched that you came. But if you go home and just wait, come back tomorrow, you can sit with him then. Sonny: You know what? I’m gonna arrange for a car — no. I’m not leaving. Danny. I’m sorry. No, thank you. So, you want to stay here? Yes. So would it be alright if danny stayed with me here? And I will take him home. ‘Cause I could use the company. I don’t think you understand how a warrant works — okay, look, it’s obvious that jason is here. It’s equally obvious that you would swallow ground glass in order to give him a five-minute head start. So, you either get out of our way or you get arrested. It’s your choice at this point. Search. You’re not gonna find jason because he was never here. Alright, thanks for your cooperation. Don’t — stay here, out of the way. God. I’ll take the stairs. Just keep out of our way.
I don’t want my friend to get in any trouble, but I don’t know how else to make him stop. That’s a tough situation to be in.
[ Sighs ] God. Maybe taking the vape was stupid. How so? ‘Cause now he’s mad at me and you know he’s just gonna get his hands on another one. Hey, look, jake, you can’t change someone else’s behavior, right? I think all you can do and what it seems like you’ve done already is you can tell your friend you don’t like this thing, alright? And you’re concerned about him when he uses it. Not that he cared… yeah, you know, it may seem that way. And maybe — maybe it’s true. Maybe he doesn’t care. But I guarantee he’s gonna remember what you said to him. Alright? And who knows what happens in time?
[ Sighs ] Listen, if you ever want to talk about this some more, I’m — I’m around. You’re gonna tell mom, aren’t you?
[ Chuckles ] Well, I think your mom probably needs to know, but I think it’d probably be better coming from you.
[ Door opens ] Hi. I’m home. Hi. I’m sorry I’m late, you guys. I was really rushing to get out of there and then we ended up having this minor issue and I’m just —
[ Sighs ] Is everything okay? You, uh, didn’t want me to come. What? No. No. No, of course I wanted you to come. It’s just, you know, we — we just started talking about… hanging out on purpose and — right. Yeah. I — I kind of thought that maybe it would be, you know, coffee or… a movie or a dinner, if I was lucky, not, you know, hanging out, spending the night in the hospital in plastic chairs with fluorescent lighting. I happen to love fluorescent lighting. Right. Sure. I am really looking forward to whatever comes next. But today we are friends and I care about you. Back at you. And that means that whenever you need me, I am always gonna be there. Got it? Yeah. So, next time things hit the fan, who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters. That was a dumb joke. Sorry. I apologize for that. Uh, no, I’ll call you. Thanks a lot, sasha, for coming. Always. Tj: In one night, sonny was the target of an ambush. Apparently, there’s a hole in his coat where the bullet almost hit him, and dante was shot twice and is fighting for his life. And a few weeks ago, sonny was shot at in puerto rico, which kristina told molly in confidence. Maybe I’m not supposed to know, so please don’t — don’t say anything. Understood. My point is, this is exactly what I feared. Have you told molly any of this? That I’m afraid of her sister being our egg donor because her family is a dysfunctional mess and frequently in physical danger? Well, maybe not in those exact words. Mom, what am i supposed to say? I agreed to it. Molly knew you had reservations at the beginning. Sure. So did she. It took a lot of soul searching for us to get to a place to where we chose kristina, but we did choose her. And once we did, molly was all-in. But you don’t feel the same way. I’m trying. But I look at dante in that hospital bed, and I’m like, “is this our life now?” Our child is born, someone else gets shot at, and we’re just — we’re — we’re holding our breath until they pull through. I don’t want that. I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want that for my child. Is that so selfish? No. No, tj, it’s human. If I stay, I could at least tell rocco I was here for a little while. I think it might make him feel better. Okay, I’m gonna call drew and — and let him know that you’re here. I’ll handle that. You just stay close to dante. How would you like a snack from the vending machine? Sure. Huh? Thanks, mom. Alexis: You’re welcome, honey. Sonny, I am — I am really sorry he spoke to you like that. No, you don’t have to apologize. Everybody’s on edge. I know what that’s about. You want to sit down? Yeah. You know, I keep thinking, “why?” Why did dante have to go after that guy? Because it’s his job. Yeah, but can’t he do his job and play it safe at the same time? And risk letting something happen to you? No. Dante would never. It’s just not who he is. I just feel like, for just tonight, I wish that wasn’t true.
[ Groans ] You know, I used to make that same wish. Not anymore? No. I’ve come to a place of peace and acceptance where dante’s job is concerned. But there will be no peace and acceptance for the person who did this to him. And I need you to make sure of that. The police commissioner are here, and so are the fbi. They have a warrant, and they’re searching the house for jason. They’re telling me he’s alive, and I don’t know how to fight them, diane. So I need you to call me back as soon as possible and find a way to stop them. No sign of him. You? Nothing. Doesn’t mean anything, though, because jason knows this house as if it was his own. He put in the security system. He could easily get in and out without a trace, especially with carly helping him, which clearly she is. So we missed him here. Where would he go next? Carly? Carly. Where are your cars? Am I required to answer that? Is that part of the warrant? Alright, you know what? We can take you down the station, and your attorney and the ada — they can figure it all out. Or you could just answer me! I have — I have two cars, and they’re both in the garage, an suv and a convertible. And there’s a space there for josslyn’s car, but she has it at school. I don’t have a gardener’s truck or anything like that that I could have given jason because he wasn’t here. Alright, alright.
[ Chuckles ] Alright, so we can assume that he’s on foot and he’s injured. Wait. Jason’s hurt? I thought you didn’t believe he was alive. What happened to jason? We believe he attempted to murder your ex-husband, sonny corinthos. He fled the scene, pursued by police, and shot detective dante falconeri twice in the chest. That’s insane. Murder sonny? Jason would never shoot dante. You know this, anna! Well, the evidence suggests otherwise. We’re out on shoreline. Where would he go from here? I think I know one place. Come on. I’ll tell you on the way.
I know more than anyone how you’re feeling. We just can’t jump to conclusions. What other conclusion is there? Dante was shot. And he might not make it. Don’t say that, sam. No, it’s the truth, sonny. I may look all calm and collected right now, but I am losing my mind waiting for your son to wake up. And I couldn’t say this in front of my mom or my son, but I need to know that there will be payback that this monster won’t get away with what he did. Do you understand what I’m asking you to do? Yeah, I understand. Thank you. I’m gonna go sit with dante. You need company? No, I think I need a minute alone. Okay. I’m here if you need me.
[ Sighs ] Go ahead. Finn found this. Hear him out. Does this belong to you? I took it from a friend because I was worried. And you kept it? I was going to throw it away, but then I got scared that, you know, you’d see it and think it was mine, so…
[ Sighs ] Okay. I trust you. I’m sorry you’re worried about your friend. Sounds like he’s lucky to have you. I, uh — I talked to finn about it a little, and he gave me some good advice. Oh. Well, then I guess we’re lucky to have you.
[ Chuckles ] I — I hate that we’re seeing more and more kids with these things. This is a much bigger conversation. Can we revisit this in the morning? Okay. Okay. Hey, uh… thanks, man. Yeah. I’ll see you around, jake. Oh, my god. I’m so relieved it’s not his. That was some serious composure right there. Wow! On the outside. Only on the outside. Inside I was panicking. But then you seemed so calm.
[ Stammers ] That’s ’cause I’m not the parent. Which begs the question — did I just overstep with your son? When you say you’re out of gas… my tank is on E. Right now? Mm-hmm. In the precise moment that we need the car to move? Yes. So, in essence, the worst possible time? Excuse me. How am I supposed to know sonny’s safe houses are so far apart? Yeah, fair enough, but in terms of your fuel level, did you not notice it was running low? They always say there’s more gas in there than you think there is. Who’s “they”?! A lot has been going on. I have been very distracted. I should have paid more attention. No, it’s — it’s okay. No, no, it’s not. I let you down. No, you could never. Maybe there’s a gas station around here somewhere. Unfortunately, there’s nothing for miles. Maybe that’s why jason likes hiding out around here. You know, if I could just understand what the footage meant. What was jason trying to accomplish? The police are gonna figure it out. But the police aren’t interested in those questions. As far as they’re concerned, he’s just a suspect on the run. And if they find him… they’ll treat him as such. Why’d you want to meet me up here?
[ Sighs ] ‘Cause something happened and I wanted to be alone when I told you. You saw jason, didn’t you? He was in my house. Is he still there? No. The police showed up. How did you know he was alive? I saw footage of jason on the roof of selina wu’s warehouse. Him and some other guy were trying to kill me. Federal agents. Hands where I can see them.
No, you didn’t overstep. Are you sure? You’re really sure? I’m grateful jake feels like he can talk to you. Well, to be fair, I did catch him red-handed. It’s not like he sought me out. Yeah, but when you confronted him, he actually stayed,
and he admitted to you giving him good advice. Oh, I guess that’s high praise from a teenager. The highest.
[ Chuckles ] He’s warming up to you in a way he didn’t before. And I don’t know if it’s because he’s more mature or he sees how happy we are. But I really like that he’s inching his way closer to you. I like it, too. So, what about me? What about you? Well, if there was an issue with violet, would you mind me stepping in, not just as her aunt, but as A… parent? Parent-adjacent, let’s call it. Okay. Okay. Um… well, now, you already have three kids of your own. Are you sure you even want that responsibility? I love her. For more than a million reasons. Plus, she brings a little girl energy into my life. Girl energy. Violet is nothing if not that. Our families are meshing, finn. Mm. In a very fun and healthy way. Cam did add me to his premier league group chat. See?
[ Laughs ] And, uh… well, aiden did say he was happy to offer me any baking advice as long as I returned the favor. What does aiden need advice on? Ah, somebody he likes. Their name is tobias. All the things you pointed out were true, but there are other truths, too, really wonderful, beautiful ones. Kristina is having your baby. Yeah. They’re both healthy. The pregnancy is going well, right? The baby’s developing beautifully. A gift kristina is giving to you out of love for her sister. And, I mean, come on. Who’s more motivated than her to make sure everything works out okay? I hate hospitals. Me too. I hate waiting even more, but unfortunately that’s what we’re gonna have to endure. Beats being at home. This way, if something happens, we’re close. Wait. That sounds dumb, doesn’t it? Why? It’s not like there’s anything we can do to help him. You know what? A long time ago, I was in the exact same circumstance you’re in right now. Your mom was hurt and I was desperate to do something to try to fix it and all I could do was wait for the doctors to fix it. And they did. And they did. And I think that’s what’s gonna happen for dante. Why aren’t you waiting with dante’s family? ‘Cause I’m not family. I don’t want to intrude. Do they even know you’re here? I don’T… cody! You are dante’s oldest friend. I am sure they would welcome your support. They — they have each other. And who do you have? Well, you know, that’s — that’s just it, sash. Like, pretty much most of my life, it’s just been me, so I’ve gotten good at taking care of myself. So that’s just the way it is, huh? Pretty much. Well, I think it’s about time that you learned a new way. You know jason wasn’t trying to shoot you. No, I don’t know, carly. What are you talking about? This is jason! He’s risked his life for you so many times. Why would he try and kill you? I don’t know. I don’t know where he’s been the last two and a half years. I don’t know why he showed up tonight. All I know is he was on a roof with a guy trying to kill me. And I also know that when he left the roof, dante went after him. Don’t do anything stupid. Anna: Jason! Jason — oh, god. I don’t know what’s going on, but you can’t keep running. Just let me take you into custody, and then we can sort this all out. Please. Come on. No! Jason!
[ Water splashes ] Jason! He’s gone. Son of a bitch!
Aiden told you about tobias? Yeah. Came up when he was helping me with one of my burnt brownie situations. Wait. Please tell me you knew because aiden already told you. Yes. Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Yes. Oh, my… he confided in me over christmas. Whew. But he said he wasn’t ready yet to tell anyone else. Oh, well, I guess he is now. Or ready to tell me, at least. Brownie bonding’s a real thing. Yeah, apparently.
[ Both chuckle ] Anyway, no big deal, right? What, that aiden’s gay? No. But the fact that he felt comfortable enough to tell you… I think my heart just exploded. Well, we can’t have that. That heart’s very important to me. I think what it all boils down to — do you trust kristina to do what’s in the baby’s best interest? Yes. Then, in my opinion, the good outweighs the bad. You can’t control everything. Why not? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could?
[ Sighs ] All you can do is hope and believe that the outcome will be positive. Otherwise, you’ll be paralyzed. That’s exactly how I feel when the anxiety creeps in. It’s like I’m frozen. Yeah. And I don’t blame you one bit. You’re still dealing with the trauma of the last surrogate’s miscarriage. This is scary. And things don’t always go as planned. I really need this to go as planned. I know. In a perfect world, every pregnant woman would be sitting in a garden with their feet up, surrounded by beauty and calm, ingesting the perfect combination of nutrients. Exactly. But that’s not reality for most people. It certainly wasn’t for me. And guess what. I survived. And so did you. We did, didn’t we? All by way of saying, the odds are actually in your favor. Are you having second thoughts? About what? Letting jason go to jail instead of me. No. It’s okay if you are. No, maxie, I would do anything for you. You know that. And being here with you right now is the only place I want to be. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with an empty gas tank. Yes. So, no, I don’t have any second thoughts. But that doesn’t mean I don’t feel guilty. The fbi now knows who they’re looking for, and that is “on me,” as they say. No, spinelli, you were backed into a corner. You know I love him, but jason is the one who decided to let his face be seen. So whatever happens next, it’s on him, not on you. Whatever happens next. Any guesses what that’s gonna be? Well, I do know that jason won’t give up without a fight. So neither will we. Would it horrify you if I said that I thought we were a little bit alike? Why would that horrify me? Because I’m comparing a teenage boy to his grandma. You’re the coolest grandma I know. Aww! You know, I think that when you and I see an injustice, we want to do what we can to make it right. Right? That’s why I think you should go back to the quartermaines’ — because scout is a night owl and she’s gonna need you when she wakes up. And that’s a good thing that you can do tonight. It may not make it right, but it’ll make it better. Yeah. Let’s go. Jason didn’t shoot dante. Did he tell you that? No. No, we — we didn’t talk about dante. We didn’t have time to talk about much at all. What’d he say? He said my name. I walked in the house and I was going up the stairs and he said my name. And I turned around and he was standing there and I thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn’T. He was right there. What happened next?
[ Scoffs ] I hugged him, sonny. I realized he was shot, and I went to get him a first aid kit. Did he tell you who shot him? No. Okay. It could have been dante shot jason by mistake, not knowing it was jason, and jason shot back at him, shooting to kill. You don’t know that any of that’s true! No, what i do know is that my son is in a hospital bed with two bullets in his chest. And jason is an expert shot who never misses.
[ Sighs ] I want search teams, both sides of the river, from here to the lake. You find him and you bring him back. Go. Thank you. Why come here? Oh, jason built this bridge. What? Yeah. Don’t you remember? This used to be an ornamental bridge, like the pont neuf in paris. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kids used to dare each other to come out here. You know, after stone died, jason and robin, they became close, and they used to meet out here. Robin told me that. Anyway, the bridge was unsafe, and eventually the city tore it down. I guess maybe 10, 15 years ago, jason donated money and they rebuilt it on the same spot. Seems like an odd time to check out his public works project. Well, having spent a lot of time out here, I’m assuming that there is a structure, somewhere where he could hide and regroup that’s nearby, and that’s why he headed here. Well, now he’s in the river.
[ Sighs ] And probably dead.
[ Sighs ] I should get going. No. Stay. Early morning surgery. Mnh. Right.
[ Sighs ] Well, thank you for coming over. And I’m sorry I was late. I’m not. Oh, thanks. No, no, not because I didn’t get to spend more time with you, but because I got to spend some time with jake. He’s a — he’s a really good kid. I know he is. You know, you have a lot to do with that.
[ Chuckles ] This parenthood thing — it is not for the faint of heart. We’re doing okay, aren’t we? It’s a lot easier now that I have you.
[ Sighs ] Goodnight, elizabeth. Night.
[ Door closes ] If I haven’t said so, I really appreciate your willingness to work with me, despite my subterfuge vis–vis moving in with you. You don’t have to keep bringing that up, you know. Yes, I was hurt and angry that you lied, but your heart was in the right place. With you. My heart is and always has been with you. Why are you the sweetest? I don’t know.
[ Laughs ] So, all’s well that ends well? Yeah. So, when can you move out? I don’t care how uncomfortable it makes you. A lot of people in this town care about you. I’m one of them. Noted. So no toughing it out alone, okay? If you insist. I do. Okay. Uh, should I get us some coffee? It’s probably gonna be a long night. Yeah. Uh, cream, no sugar. No sugar. Yeah. You know my coffee order? I pay attention. You are kind, compassionate, incredibly gifted. I tell anyone who will listen about my son the doctor. I love you, tj. I love you, too. And I cannot wait to meet my grandchild and see what kind of dad you’re gonna be. Let’S… let’s hope a good one? I have no doubt.
[ Door closes ]
[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. I didn’t mean to pull you away from dante, but there’s something you should know. What’s up? We were able to get an id of the guy on the roof. You mean someone who was involved with dante’s shooting? Who? It’s jason. He’s alive. Oh, jason. Wherever you are, please be okay. Isn’t that one of the first rules of police work? Never assume anything? You think jason survived the fall? I think that’s why he jumped. He thought he could survive the fall. He’d rather take his chances with the river than be taken into custody. Makes sense.
If he put two bullets into dante falconeri, better to jump than be charged with killing a cop.

Steffy: Hey, finn, it’s okay. It’s okay. You had a dream. You had a really bad dream.
Finn: Yeah.
Steffy: You’re safe now, okay? You’re safe.
Finn: It’s just– I don’t– I… I just– I saw her die, steffy, and it– it– it felt very, very real. Um, just the– the– the blood and the– the begging and I just– I can’t stop hearing sheila beg for my help.
Thomas: Hey, where’d you go?
Hope: Uh, trying to work, but honestly, I just– I just can’t shake this feeling. I’m– I’m really worried about steffy and finn’s marriage.
Rj: So, are you ready for this? First night swim?
Luna: Uh, yeah.
Rj: Good, good, ’cause, you know, the sharks, they’re usually more calm after dark, so… I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m trying to make you laugh. I’m kidding.
Luna: Okay, well, shark attack jokes aren’t exactly the best way to do that. But I love that about you.
Rj: What, all my poorly timed jokes?
Luna: No, um, you’re always looking out for me. You know, always trying to make me laugh and stay positive. I really need that. More than you know. I’m just, um… I’m really lucky to have you.
Rj: Hey, I’m the one that’s lucky to have you. You’re– you’re this beautiful, honest, perfect woman.
Luna: Believe me, I feel the same way about you. I don’t ever want to lose you. Okay, so are we doing this? I mean, are you sure there’s no sharks out there?
Rj: No. I mean, well, there’s gonna be me. I mean, I’m gonna be circling you, making sure that you’re okay, of course. No, I think this will be good, you know? Just try to relax and clear your mind, and you know, maybe it’ll put things in perspective. Maybe you’ll realize things aren’t as bad as you think they are.
Carter: She’s impressive. I’m sorry.
Zende: Damn it, carter.
Carter: I didn’t mean to startle you, man. I’m sorry.
Zende: Yeah, all right. It’s okay. I was just…
Carter: Looking over the interns.
Zende: Yeah.
Carter: Luna.
Zende: Mm-hmm.
Carter: Yeah, I get it.
Zende: You do?
Carter: Yeah, and she’s talented. She’s lovely. She’s made a big impact here at forrester. Luna’s very special.
Rj: Wait ’til you see the moon reflecting off the water when you’re in it. It’s just… you’ll see. You’ll see. And hey, you know I don’t want to pry, but I’m always here to help, whatever you need.
Luna: It’s is one of the countless reasons why I love you.
Rj: All right, let’s do this.
Luna: Okay.
Rj: Come on, let’s go.
[ Luna groaning ]
Steffy: It kills me to see you in so much pain. You know, I didn’t– I didn’t want any of this, but it all happened so fast.
Finn: Hey, I know. I know, okay, and… and it’s just, you know, I can’t deny how I’m feeling, though. You know, and after– after everything that she’s done to us, I mean, none of this makes sense. That I feel this connection to sheila. God, and I’ve… if I’m feeling this way, I mean, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I’m worried about you. And to do… you know what? And I know you had to defend yourself and you had no choice, but… just, I can’t imagine the toll this has taken on you. The right age for
Carter: I have to say, luna is definitely the standout. If she continues to work hard here. She’ll have a very bright future.
Zende: From intern to fashion mogul.
Carter: Hey, it worked for you, didn’t it?
Zende: Yeah.
Carter: Remember when you were here interning, running coffee and files up and down these halls?
Zende: Good times.
Carter: For you, maybe. You can’t make a cup of coffee to save your life.
Zende: Hey, I was a bit distracted, okay?
Carter: How could you not be? Surrounded by all this creativity. You were born to design, zende. And you were impressive then, just like you are now.
Zende: Thanks, man.
Carter: It’s a gift. I’m good at seeing potential in people. And I have to say, luna is just as, if not more impressive than you were.
Zende: I am well aware of how special luna is.
Carter: And you’re not the only one. I don’t think anyone’s more impressed with luna than rj. Dude’s whole face lights up whenever she walks in the room.
Zende: Hm.
Rj: Okay, come on. Let’s just warm up quick now that we’re back in here. Here.
Luna: Thank you.
Rj: Of course. You got it. There you go. So, was it worth it? It was worth it, right?
Luna: Hmm, yeah. It was pretty incredible. Do you do that often? Go on night swims?
Rj: Yeah, when I can. I think it’s a, I don’t know, it’s a nice way to let the world slip away. You agree?
Luna: Uh, it was pretty scary, to be honest. I mean, it was so dark out, I couldn’t see anything.
Rj: At least you had me, though, right? I’ll always be here to take care of you. Make you secure and happy.
Thomas: I’m trying to stay strong for my sister. To stay positive. I just– I hate that she’s going through this.
Hope: Me too. At least there’s one good thing that came out of it. Sheila’s dead.
Steffy: I hated sheila. I hated her with every ounce of my being, and I just wanted her to leave us alone. And I can see that you’re suffering, but I don’t want this to come between us.
Finn: Me neither. Look, and I know your family thinks that you killed an animal, but–
Steffy: But she’s your birth mother.
Finn: I know, but as much as I’m struggling, I know you are too. And I can see it.
Steffy: Yeah, I’m dealing with my own demons. And what I did. I mean, I even told sheila that I– I wanted her dead. And I thought about it. A lot. I actually just never thought I… I never wanted to take a life. I never…
[ Steffy sobs ] God.
Zende: You know, rj isn’t the only one who thinks so highly of luna. She’s awesome. She’s so smart and talented and obviously very beautiful.
Carter: You two have gotten pretty close, huh?
Zende: Why do you say that?
Carter: It’s the way you’re going on about her.
Zende: Man, I’m just agreeing with you. And rj. Pretty much everyone who’s ever met her.
Carter: Okay, well, with the way things are going, I’m pretty sure you’ll work with her more often. Get to know her even better.
Zende: I’d like that a lot.
Luna: Do you really mean it?
Rj: What?
Luna: When you say that you’ll always take care of me?
Rj: Of course. Absolutely. I mean, you changed my life. Really, you did. I just– I want to make sure that you always feel secure and loved.
Luna: I wish we were never apart.
Thomas: Look, I don’t care what finn’s feeling right now or what he’s mourning. Look, sheila has devastated our family and terrorized our families for years, right? Your mother, too. Sheila was evil. She deserved a lot worse than she got. And I don’t have the sympathy for finn that you have. Steffy is freaking out right now. And she needs her husband to be there. And for some reason, her husband is mourning the loss of the woman who tried to kill her.
Hope: Finn just needs more time.
Thomas: He doesn’t have any more time. I don’t care what he feels like he needs to get through or get over or whatever. Like, he needs to get over it now and be there for steffy.
Steffy: Now, I know you don’t want to hear this.
Finn: Well, yeah, I do.
Steffy: But if I open up to you, are you gonna just run out again?
Finn: No, I’m not gonna run out. Hey. Talk to me.
Steffy: It’s just when I think about sheila, everything that she’s done to us, my mother, how she’s tormented my family? I thought about it a lot. Like, what I would have to do to protect myself. What I would do to protect our children. And I knew exactly what to do. But when sheila lunged at me and I felt my knife go into her, I didn’t– I didn’t feel rage or relief. I felt anguish. And that haunts me. The way I look at– look at my hands. I look over there and all I see is just blood. Like, I took a life. Yes, it was self-defense, but I… I killed someone. And I don’t know if I’m– if I’m ever gonna feel normal again and that really worries me. Or if you’re ever gonna look at me the same way again. The company goes to the first born audrey.

Zende: Hello, luna.
Luna: Hi.
Zende: You’re here.
Luna: It feels so good being in your arms.
Rj: I could do this all night. Actually, I was wondering if you’d like to stay over?
Luna: I was hoping you’d ask.
Rj: Yeah?
Rj: I love being with you. I really do feel like I get to just be myself around you. And– and you know, plus, you– you find all my corny jokes really sexy, so…
Luna: Um, no. I find them pretty corny. But I do think you’re sexy. I mean it though, rj. I never wanna be away from you. I mean, you’re so kind and sweet, caring. I’ve never met someone more honest and loyal.
Rj: I’ve never met anyone more honest and loyal than you.
Luna: I never thought that I’d meet someone like you. Someone so warm and genuine. Never doubt how much I love you.
Thomas: Now look, I don’t mean to be insensitive. But this is how I feel. Look, sheila was obsessed with my family. She shot both of our mothers and now she’s finally dead so we can all breathe.
Hope: You are not being insensitive. You’re being a protective brother. And that’s what I love about you. Look, I know this has been hard for all of us.
Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s finally over. And I get that it is illogical and it may not make sense to us, but… the connection that finn feels to sheila is very real.
Thomas: What’s real is that finn has a family and a traumatized wife who needs him.
Hope: And finn needs steffy too right now. And that is what I am worried about. That all of this has compromised their ability to be there for one another. I mean, what if killing sheila has jeopardized steffy and finn’s marriage?
Finn: I hate that you’re suffering.
Steffy: I hate that you’re suffering too. What are you thinking?
Finn: I want to be there for you. I do. But, you know, hearing you talk about taking sheila’s life and you know, knowing that it happened here, in this– in this room, in our house, it’s just… I don’t know, it’s a lot. It’s a lot and it just makes– it makes– makes me feel like I could have another panic attack, like this house is haunted and it’s just– it’s– I hate feeling this way. Because I– I love you. Honey, I love you and the kids. You, you are my life. This house. This is– this is our house. And I hate feeling like I need to leave because of what happened here.
Steffy: No, I don’t– I don’t want you to leave either. I can’t even tell you how much I love you. I need you. I– I can’t even imagine going through this without you. I need my husband, finn. I need you. I need you.
Finn: Okay.

Tucker: I’m sorry, Abby. I– I really have no idea what you’re talking about.
Abby: We both know that’s a lie.
Tucker: It’s been pretty clear now for a while that things are over between your mother and me.
Abby: Clear to whom? I mean, it’s clear to me that you’re messing with her head. And that’s disgusting. My mom has honestly loved you. Not just once, but twice. She defended you. My mom saw something in you that, let’s be honest, no one else has ever seen. And what, instead of realizing how lucky you were to have her, you kept pushing her over and over and over again until she lost part of herself. What, was that to make you feel more important, more powerful? And when she finally realized there was nothing to see in you, and she got the courage to leave, you started playing these games to what, punish her? Because you realized you didn’t deserve her?

Nikki: Smart girl.
Claire: Yeah. And when she said that, I, uh, I cried a little bit, not in a sad way, but in a way that felt like she had explained something in my heart that I didn’t– I didn’t know was there. I realized that my whole life, I– I just wanted to be someone’s favorite.

Interview with Denise Richards, Kym Johnson Herjavec and Melyssa Ford of “Hunting Housewives” on Lifetime by Suzanne 3/5/24
This was a Lifetime Press Panel for this fun new Lifetime movie, “Hunting Housewives.” It’s a thriller with a lot of tongue-in-cheek humor. If you watch the “Real Housewives” and shows like that, then you’re no doubt familiar with Denise Richards and perhaps some of the other actors in the movie, and the type of women they portray here. It’s worth watching, and it sounds like there might be a sequel in the future. I loved Denise Richards in “The Bold and The Beautiful” and other shows. She does a good job here, even though she’s basically playing herself. At least, that’s how it seems. I was able to ask the very last question on the video. Enjoy this video. The movie airs tonight, March 9.
MORE INFO: Trailer Official Site
In Hunting Housewives, four friends Karla Dodds (Denise Richards), Rebel Carron-Whitman (NeNe Leakes), Joli Symons (Kym Johnson Herjavec) and Sharell Bouvier (Melyssa Ford) head for a much-needed spa retreat weekend away from their husbands, children and busy schedules when suddenly they find themselves downed in a plane crash. With no knowledge of basic survival, the housewives must use their wits and whatever is in their designer bags to try to survive in the rugged wilds. When they realize they are not alone, even frenemies must align to outwit their hunters.
Hunting Housewives is produced by Brain Power Studio in association with Nicely Entertainment for Lifetime. Beth Stevenson, Nancy Yeaman, Stan Hum and Vanessa Shapiro executive produce. Paula Tiberius wrote the script and Marco Deufemia directs.

Days of Our Lives Transcript
Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne
THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
There you are. Hey, how are you holding up?
Mom, I’m losing it, I swear. I’m barely holding on. I know. Your dad said that he spoke to Nicole. Yeah, he told me too. I was so pumped when I heard that Holly was out of her coma, but she doesn’t even remember anything from that night. Nothing. I know it’s a blow. But we are not giving up. We are going to clear your name.
God, I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. That I didn’t give her those drugs, that I tried to tell her not to take them. I know. But your family believes you. Well, I hope that does me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, Mom?
Hey! Welcome back. Thanks. Hey. It’s, uh, it’s good to be back. Yeah. How’s Molly? Oh, here, come on in. Yeah. Um, well, she’s very excited for your visit. Yeah. Um, she is a little upset, though. That she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. So, but she is on the mend and she’s getting stronger every hour. Wow, that’s fantastic.
And how was it for you? I mean, being in Italy, were you able to get out at all? Oh, um, you know, very little. I was back and forth to the hospital and my hotel room, so. Yeah. How’s the photography business? It’s good. Great. I’m picking up, but you know what? My main focus, it’s kind of, it’s been on parenthood.
Pretty great, isn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really happy to see you. Likewise. Never fear, Nanny McStark is here. God, I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I? Would you prefer I leave? No, no, I’m desperate for a babysitter and my last resort. I’m touched. I went through every contact in my phone. Eric’s family, the neighbors, literally no one else was available.
Well, then how lucky for you that I was footloose and fancy free. And I came prepared. See, I’ve been reading up on child rearing, and they say that bright colors stimulate cognitive development. And did you know that babies prefer high pitched voices, elongated vowels, and over enunciation? Isn’t that right, baby?
Great. Well, looks like you got it covered. Uh, if he gets hungry, there’s formula in the fridge. I am going to meet a new client. She’ll be back in a couple of hours, hopefully before Eric gets home. If you have any concerns Don’t worry, Mommy. Okay, fine. But listen, don’t forget that like a fine wine or a park avenue escort, I don’t come cheap.
You’ve been draining me dry for weeks. Cheap is never a word I’d use to describe you. That is so sweet. Mommy is a hot mess.
So where’s Clyde’s cell again? Clyde’s cell is Right here. In the watchtowers. Or right here. And right here. Okay.
Angela, tell me you’ll make this happen. Tripp doesn’t have much time.
So I can count on you? Bene, bene grazie.
Yeah, I owe you big. Ava,
sorry the situation has put you in this position. Yeah, well, so much for vowing that I’ll never work with my family again. So they’re in? Yeah, it’s taken care of. Angelo and his team will do their part. What it cost you?
Extends through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.
Holly, honey, are you decent? Yeah, come in. Hey. Hello, sweetheart. Eric. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Me too. Just so happy to see you awake. I’m Yeah, so I’m pretty scared for a while. Yeah, I can’t believe I was out for two months. Yeah. It’s so freaky missing time like that. I bet. Yeah, I bet your mom says you’re on the mend.
You’re getting stronger all the time. Yes, she is. Sarah was here yesterday. She ran a few tests. So, our girl is on track and on her way back to normal. That’s great. Our little miracle.
What’s your plan? Theresa. Hi. And you must be Tate. I’m Sloane Peterson. Sloane has agreed to take over your case. What happened to Justin? Well, uh, as much as I’m grateful to Justin, he is knee deep right now in defending Xander Cook in attempted murder charges. So, he’ll help later, if he can. In the meantime, I’ve decided to go outside the Kiriakis family, and I want to bring you home, back to your family, where you belong, as soon as possible.
And, as your new lawyer, I’ll start by telling you, we plan to take a somewhat Novel. approach.
My family’s doing this as a one time favor. Okay, if it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’ve spent decades fielding demands from my family. I’m an expert at it. So let’s not get distracted. Ava called in her family because we need their help. They have the connections we need inside that prison.
That’s right. Whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Okay. Right. Okay. So, let’s just drop the topic of Angelo and his team. They’re handled. And they’re only one part of the plan. It’s up to us to take care of the rest.
Oh, here we go. Okay, um Let’s see.
Checklist for a crying baby. Step one is the child hungry. Why don’t we grab that bottle of formula mommy prepared for you, okay? Right back. Okay. Hmm. Now go, huh? All right. Okay. Step two, is the baby feverish? Uh oh. Uh oh.
98. 6, that’s perfect. Okay. Step three, does the baby have We knew this moment would come, didn’t we, soldier? Don’t you worry, I got this. And then
the cops said, I’ll take those. So I looked at my dad, he nodded for me to do it, and then I handed the drugs to her. That’s, um, that’s pretty much it. This is all very helpful, Tate. Can you remember anything else? Even some small detail you might have left out? Um, no. No, that’s everything.
Do you think you can help us, Miss Peterson? I do. But I think we should go over the challenges first. Uh, okay. Thing is, even though EJ’s case is mostly circumstantial, it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help when he first found Holly unconscious, or that he initially lied to a police officer who later saw him with drugs in his hands.
But that was a mistake that he made in the heat of the moment. He was really scared and confused. He was just trying to help a girl that he has a big crush on. Shh. I understand that. The question is will the jury believe that if we go to trial?
So I have to check with the hospital about when your next exam is and schedule your physical therapy. So you two keep talking and I will be back. Okay. Do you know that I came and saw you every day at the hospital? You did? I did. I came by to pray for you. Until your mom decided to take you to, you know, Italy.
Did I look weird? No, you looked like you were sleeping. Oh. Um, uh, was there anyone else there? Of course, pretty much everyone at some point. Oh, I’ve, I’ve got a lot to catch up on. Yeah. Your mom said that you’re having trouble remembering what happened the night you overdosed. Yeah, it’s, it’s all just blank.
I don’t even remember passing out. Well, do you think that somebody slipped some drugs into your cup? Uh, um, I don’t, I don’t know. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Dancing. I didn’t watch my drink the whole time. Someone, some loser totally could have slipped something in there. I don’t know. You know, Holly, every time, um You got nervous when you were a kid.
You used to play with your hair. Oh, I didn’t spill the juice. I didn’t color on the walls. You used to be afraid to ever tell me the truth when you were nervous or thought you might get in trouble. That was a long time ago. Owie. What aren’t you telling me?
I’ve checked out the entire duct system here. It’s a go. You know, there’s also a service gate behind yard two. It’s rarely used, but it gives us less ground to cover if we can get Weston into position. Nice. Alright, where’s that list of supplies again? Here, here it is. Okay, we got uh, wire cutters, grinder, hacksaw, black tape, disguises, binoculars, cable ties.
Night vision goggles? Yeah, it’s right on here. Everything’s in order. Alright, Steven, I will handle the transportation within your field. And, uh, Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight at the designated airstrip. Anything else? I think we’re ready to go. Right? Tonight we break into prison.
Okay, okay. Ah, see? That wasn’t so bad, was it? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That has always been my motto. Well, that and, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Okay, well, now that we’re changed and settled and looking very adorable, I might add, how about, oh, how about I rock you to sleep?
You ready for a little shut eye, huh? Okay. Uh, well I don’t see a rocking chair, so how about I walk you to sleep? And I could tell you a story. Would you like that? Okay, I take that little wrinkled nose as a yes. Um, so it was a dark and stormy night. No, you’re right, that’s too scary. Why don’t we go a different route?
Once upon a time, a very handsome little prince was born along the side of the road. And he was delivered by his very godfather, none other than yours truly. And for the briefest of moments, his mother got to hold him very lovingly in her arms. And then, a tall, handsome German god swooped in and took him away, bound for the hospital.
Or so we thought. Instead, they were waylaid by an evil, nasty, bottle blonde, wicked witch. Okay, that’s not fair. We don’t know for sure that she’s a bottle blonde.
How does the story end, you ask?
I don’t know.
But so far it’s not looking good.
But the little prince,
He is always going to be protected from poison apples. Because that’s my job. Okay. What? What
is that? Are you smiling at me?
Well, that warms my heart.
Yeah, that really warms my heart.
Eric, New Year’s Eve, that night,
It’s all just a blur. I really wish I could remember what happened.
Um, hey, how’s Jude doing? I’m sure he’s a lot bigger since Christmas. Yeah, yeah he is. He’s actually holding his head up. And he’s sleeping through the night while we waste most of the time. Got any new pictures? Of course I do. I just shot these the other day when he was having a little tummy time. Oh my gosh, he’s so cute.
Yeah. Look at those little cheeks. Yeah. Oh, he’s adorable. Oh, oh, oh, oh my goodness, he’s so precious. Definitely a keeper. Yes, he is. Wait till you see him at the christening. When is it? Will I be well enough? Well, we held off until you were both back in Salem and you were awake. Oh my gosh. Your mom said she wanted you both to be there.
Well, that was thoughtful. Well, Holly, I mean, if your doctors say it’s fine, then yes, of course you can come if you’re feeling up for it. Oh, I’ll be more than up for it. Oh. I can’t wait. Well, like I said, I haven’t made an official date yet, but it’s going to be a small family gathering at St. Luke’s, and then we’re going to have the reception at Brady’s Pub.
Oh. Yeah. You know, I have an idea. What if we have the reception here? I would love to host it. Oh, thanks for the offer, but it’s too much to ask. Well, you, you didn’t ask. And, um, hello? Are you kidding? I would love to do it for you. Especially since you saved the date for us. Really, the, the pub is fine. To be honest, I just don’t think someone would be on board.
Are you sure? I mean, look, you’re both parenting and working full time. It would be a huge load off of her and you if someone else planned it, right? And besides, closing the pub would take away business for Roman, so She’s right. I am. It’d be really cool if you had it here, Eric. It would. And look, Holly’s still recovering, so it’d be better if it were here.
And then she’s not running from the church to the pub and the, you know, the whole thing. Of course, it is totally up to you, but I would really love to do this for you. And, you know, maybe it’ll help make things right between Sloane and me.
Okay. It’s a great offer. Thank you. I’ll let Sloane know. Wait, do you think we’re gonna have to go to trial? No, no, that can’t be. This is not gonna go to trial, right Sloane? Well, that’s my hope. Um, but as we all know, EJ is DA. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken him on many times before, and beaten him, and negotiated some kick ass plea deals.
But, this case is personal to him. But my dad said that Holly’s awake now, we just need to get her to tell the truth. But, you said that she doesn’t remember the truth. The bottom line is, it’s going to be very hard to prove your innocence unless, She admits the drugs were hers. If we go to trial, I’ll depose her, of course, and try to get the truth out of her.
Yes, that’s good. Let’s go after her. Go after her? Mom, she’s my friend. Really? Would a friend let you go down for a crime that you didn’t commit? I’m gonna pursue every angle I can, but I do think we should consider another option. What might that be? Going to trial is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of the outcome.
I could arrange a plea deal and you would get a light sentence tape or possibly even time served. Before you know it, you’d be free to go home. No, that’s BS. I don’t want a plea deal or a light sentence. I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to stop Holly from taking those pills. I am totally innocent. Don’t you get that?
All right. We are out of here. I’ll pick up any other supplies we might need. And I’ll get the unmarked vehicle to transport Weston to the airport. Okay, great. And I’ll meet you both at the airfield. Right. Oh, John, remember, we have to stop by the office and pick up that special equipment. Oh, yeah, well, we might just need our old pal Rico’s basement again.
Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, a minute. Special equipment, basement. What are you two talking about? It’s just everything we need to interrogate Weston about Tripp and Wendy’s location. So we’re gonna make it look like we’re busting, busting out and getting into the airfield? Yeah, but in reality, that’s not gonna happen.
We’re not gonna let him go. Oh, like hell we’re not.
H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y M Z. Now I know my ABC’s. Uh! Next time won’t you rap with me? Check it! That’s impressive. Did you daddy’s home? Uh, you alone? Where’s my wife? She’s out with a client. So you’re babysitting? Word. Son didn’t tell me she called you. I would have known. I would have been here with him.
Well, if it’ll ease your mind, he has been fed, burped, changed, entertained, washed, rinsed, repeat. And check this. Peek a boo! Are you laughing at him? Or his outfit. Hey, now. No, no, I’m sorry. You just, you, you two seem to belong. Yeah. We’ve got a connection. I felt it ever since he came into my life. Quite a special little boy you’ve got.
Couldn’t agree more.
Okay, so I’m thinking of a cold buffet bar that way people can snack since they’ll be popping in and out. Yes, oh, and we should do those, um, those individual cakes too, you know, like the bite sized ones. Yes, with a little blue icing. Mom, that whole pink blue thing is so last century. Okay. And, hey, I will be in charge of music playlists.
Because if you do it, we’ll end up with a three hour Billy Joel medley or something. I had one Billy Joel CD growing up. You will not let me live that down. Besides, Piano Man was the most amazing song ever. All his songs were, actually. If you say so. I do say so. Oh gosh, it’s going to be so great to have a celebration here.
Since there’s been so much sadness lately. Yeah, there has. So Aren’t those pictures of Jude just adorable? Mom, try not to go there, okay?
I know, honey. It’s just that sometimes those feelings just come flooding back, thinking about your little brother and, and what happened to you. I’m here. I’m back now. Thank God. Because I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you, my precious girl. I don’t know what I would have done.
Okay, so I’m going to go make a call to get the ball rolling. Mom, I don’t get it. Why do I have to plead guilty when I’m innocent? Tate, it’s to get you out of this mess. It’s a tactic, okay, to get you home sooner. We don’t know if EJ’s gonna drag this out for the long haul. It’s, it’s a guarantee of a light sentence.
But Holly could come around. She could tell the truth when she remembers.
Honey, we don’t know if, if that’s gonna happen. And we can’t wait around for that possibility. So we just need to do whatever is best to make sure we can get you out of here. Does Holly even know where I am? Does she know that I was arrested and then beat up in jail and then shoved into a halfway house?
I don’t know. I don’t know, but I will find out for you. Yes? Can I talk to you for a second? Sure.
I’ll be meeting with the judge soon to file a formal complaint against EJ. Hopefully I can get him removed from the case due to bias and non objectivity. That would be great. It’s a long shot, but there’s a chance the judge will see it our way. EJ seems to have some really strong pull with the judges.
I’m aware. We’ll know soon enough how the complaint pans out, but in the meantime, I need Tate to stay mentally sharp and focused in case this goes to trial. You two think you’re gonna double cross Clyde Weston? Do you have any idea how insane that is? Steve, how could you even think of risking our son’s safety like this?
I’m doing it for his safety. Look, we’re taking all this risk to break that maniac out of prison. So what if he takes off and he doesn’t give us Tripp back? That is a risk I’m not willing to take. So we’re going to hold Clyde’s feet to the fire for as long as it takes until he coughs up Tripp and Wendy’s location.
That’s the only way this is going to work. You are out of your mind. Do you realize that? Look, Clyde may play the country bumpkin, but he is sharp as a tack and he knows what he is doing. Look at his track record since he has been in prison. A police detective has already been gunned down. He set the fire at the Horton House.
And he is scattering drugs all over this town with the force of a Texas tornado. We know what we’re dealing with, Ava. Oh, do you? Do you really? Yes, yes. Okay, well then you know that he’s already broken in here and he is watching us. You know, he could be listening to us right now. I swept the place for bugs when I first came in and it was clean.
And with our training, no one, you know. Is ever going to follow us to the rendezvous point. Okay, well that is not enough. Don’t you get it? Clyde Weston will find a way to royally screw us if we don’t do exactly what he wants. If we defy him in any way, he is going to seek revenge and it’s going to be tragic.
So I’m begging you, please, please, just let him go. Steve, it is the price we are gonna have to pay to save our son. Ava,
I know that Clyde’s been doing a number on you lately, and you’ve been on pins and needles for months. You’re not thinking clearly. Oh, screw you, Steve. I’m thinking just fine. Okay, all I mean is that you’ve been under pressure, okay? But we can’t let Clyde Weston go. I know. Especially not after everything he’s done to half the people in this town.
Steve’s right, Ava. Can’t let a career criminal like Weston go free. We had to alter the plan. Oh yeah, and with no surprise, you two are in cahoots behind my back. Okay, so now you know everything, all right? So we’re gonna do the plan exactly as it was laid out. But when we get to the airfield, we’re gonna make it clear to Weston that either he gives up Tripp and Wendy’s location, or the night is gonna end very badly for him.
Trust us. Weston is never going to know what even hit him. Oh, honey, I, I should be talking to my therapist about this. Not my beautiful daughter who’s recently been through enough as it is. Oh, it’s okay, mom. I know how hard it was for you to lose the baby. And then what happened to me? I mean, you’ve been through a lot too.
It definitely was a lot. Not just watching you lie there so still day after day. I just, I didn’t know if you were going to come back to us or if you would ever talk again or, or, or be yourself. God, and then I thought, what if you woke up and you didn’t remember anything? Like, with Eve. And Paulina, I mean, what if you, you didn’t remember all of our good times and, and the tea parties we had when you were a little girl and, and the forts we made with the couch cushions and looking for frogs on our nature walks.
I remember all of those things.
And then I’m very grateful for honey.
And I’m also grateful for all the support that I had because if it weren’t for EJ and, and Eric, I don’t know what I would have done.
I really did lean on that baby. Mom, you are so strong all on your own. Don’t forget that. You’re a survivor. Oh, me? Yes, so are you. I mean, look at you, my little fighter. Um, yeah. Well, I’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve anymore and the party, what happened, or at least, you know, not talk about it as much.
Okay, Annie, I understand. So we will just, we will leave the past where it belongs, okay? And we’ll just focus on this baby bash, yeah?
This has been so hard on Tate. Emotionally. It’s been rough on the whole family, obviously. As for me, I um, I fell off the wagon. It was just a one time slip. And it was demoralizing. To say the least. Anyway, now I’m completely committed to my sobriety. And all I care about is just being there for my son. And I do not want this nightmare to permanently damage his psyche or mess up his future.
I get it. I, brother Colin is locked up in prison right now. Well, because of his thirst for revenge and unlike Tate, he was guilty, but. I still wish I could have saved him from the mistakes he made. Anyway, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be for your son, but I promise I will do everything I can to help.
Thank you so much. I get the sense he’s a good kid. He is. Let’s do everything we can to take him home.
Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. All right? I’m going to let you know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Okay. Hey. Hey, don’t be upset about Holly. Okay? You need to stay positive. You know how many people you have backing you in your corner? Don’t give up. Don’t worry. I will never give up. That’s my boy. Love you.
Love you.
You know, I was about 14 months when I started walking. My twin sister Sammy, she was a little bit more ahead of me. And, uh, she started running around the house and nobody could keep up with her. I’m pretty sure I skipped walking and went straight to running. Away from my mother in terror. You’re home! Hey!
Uh, Eric, I couldn’t find anyone to babysit. I, I just And you found Leo. Who’s been doing a wonderful job. You even got him to smile and laugh. That’s great! I think he remembers me. Well, since we’re both home, uh, Leo, you can head out. Um, I’ll just pay you. Oh, no, no, no. He can stick around if he wants. I mean, we don’t have any plans.
I’m sure he has plans. Nope. Free as a bird. Super. I’m gonna get a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Hey, honey, by the way, um, Nicole, well, she offered to host a little after party at the DiMera mansion. Yeah, it’s kind of her way of extending an old friendship. O M G, Nicole is just the sweetest. And the DiMera mansion, what a perfect venue.
Fine. We’ll do it your way. I just want my son back. And once he is home and he is safe. I don’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. We have everything we need to deal with him, Ava. I assure you. But first, we have got a prison to break into. I’m ready. Let’s move it. Okay. We’ll be in touch within the hour.
Alright, password should be my birthday. I want to think about changing that, mom. I’m in. What? Crap, I don’t know Holly’s number. I don’t know anyone’s number. Oh, she’s got a contact. Damn, she’s got a contact list. Um, So familiar. Okay, so we will do finger sandwiches, um, and pasta salad. Rolls. Rolls, yes, great idea.
And petite fours. Must haves. Oh, and hey, maybe we can do, like, little candle party favors with Jude’s name on them. Yes, that’s a great idea. Okay, I’ll let you look into that. I think Sloan and Eric are gonna love this. I can’t wait. Uh, so listen, I’m gonna go out and hunt down those petite fours, and then we’ll talk to Cook when I get back.
Do you need anything while I’m out? Okay, well, text me if you think of anything, okay?
Theresa Donovan? Why the heck is Tate’s mother sliding in my DMs? Sorry lady, no time for you. I’ve got a party to plan.

Young & The Restless Transcript
Transcript provided by Suzanne
Are you coming from work?
Mariah: Yes, I got sucked in by some very exciting reports. And now, I am absolutely starving, so I thought the manager and I could, you know, sit down and have a snack. Unless that’s not going to work for some reason?
Tessa: Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, that’s totally fine. Uh, just give me a second.
Mariah: Okay. Something’s bugging you. What’s going on?
Ashley: How long do you intend to keep me waiting?
Tucker: What is this about?
Ashley: I’ll tell you when I see you. It’s too important to get into on the phone.
Tucker: Well, your text said urgent, but I don’t see what there could possibly be between us anymore that’s so important.
Ashley: Well, let me show you.
Tucker: Again, what is the point, ashley? It’s very late. I’m getting ready to go to paris.
Ashley: Without me?
Tucker: Yes, without you. With audra. But don’t worry, on your behalf, I will throw some chairs and break some glasses at our favorite bistro.
Ashley: That’s very funny. It’s also ancient history.
Tucker: Would you please stop? This is getting so old. So either wish me a bon voyage or hang up. Either way, this conversation is over.
Ashley: Trust me, when I talk to you face to face, you’re going to rethink paris. You’re going to rethink everything.
Nikki: I’m sorry I had to bother you so late.
Jack: No, it is never a bother, nikki.
Nikki: Well, I’m sure diane didn’t appreciate it.
Jack: Diane understands, and I am happy to be here, particularly as it seems you are here alone.
Nikki: Everybody else is in bed. I– I couldn’t sleep. My mind is swimming.
Jack: Okay, okay, well I’m–
Nikki: It’s been a rough night.
Jack: I’m glad you called me instead of going out for a drink. And thank god there is no alcohol left in this house. What?
[ Phone rings ]
Victor: Hello.
Jordan: Hello, victor. Is this a good time? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression
Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…
Victor: Well now, I did expect your call. So, you told claire that you would reach out to me, right?
Jordan: How fortunate my niece was able to pass that along before that terrible fire at victoria’s house.
Victor: Well, you had a busy night, didn’t you?
Jordan: I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s been all over the news, I’ve just been reading about it. And apparently, from what I’ve read, there have been no– no injuries, no casualties. Is that true?
Victor: Let’s get back to claire, okay?
Jordan: Ah, claire. Yes. Why don’t you tell me, truthfully, where she’s residing now, and with whom?
Victor: Well, that will be her decision.
Jordan: How egalitarian of you. Quite a change.
Victor: So, claire gave you the message that I wanted to talk to you?
Jordan: And I don’t buy a word of it.
[ Victor laughs ]
Victor: Well, one thing I can assure you of, I’m a man of my word, you know?
Jordan: Oh, victor, please. It’s been decades. Do you really think that I believe, after what I have done to your family, that you are suddenly remorseful over what you did to my sister?
Victor: Well, no, it’s precisely because of what you have done to my family, all right? Obviously, I’m willing to make amends. Whatever you ask me to do, to put an end to this horrible story.
Jack: Did you have someone bring that to you?
Nikki: No. When victor had the house searched, they must have missed it.
Jack: Nikki–
Nikki: It’s full. The seal is unbroken. I didn’t have any. But I almost did.
Jack: Okay. You said it’s been a rough night.
Nikki: I don’t even know where to begin. With the house fire or my former sponsor’s murder.
Tucker: You got 10 minutes.
Ashley: I only need five.
Tucker: So, does this visit have anything to do with abby’s visit earlier?
Ashley: Abby was here?
Tucker: Mm-hmm.
Ashley: What did she want?
Tucker: She thinks I must be toying with you because of how you’ve been acting lately.
Ashley: How have i been acting?
Tucker: So civil. And admitting you were wrong about paris. Trying to persuade devon to give me another chance. Oh, yes. Seems you went a little too far with that one, didn’t you? Set off major alarm bells in abby’s head.
Ashley: Well, she doesn’t understand. I’m sure she thinks that you set me up to pleading your case, and we know that’s not what happened.
Tucker: Yeah, I told her that there’s a possibility you’re setting me up for something, but she wasn’t having that, so she has officially put me on notice. She’ll be watching me, making sure I don’t hurt you again.
Ashley: How sweet.
Tucker: Yeah.
Ashley: How unnecessary.
Tucker: Yeah. Warned me to stay the hell away.
Ashley: Don’t you worry about abby. She’s being overprotective, but she won’t bother you anymore.
Tucker: What she is is confused. And frankly, so am I, by all these bizarre 180s of yours. If anybody’s playing games here, it’s you.
Ashley: I understand you’re skeptical. And that’s why I’m here. I want you to know that I meant what I said. I want things to go back to the– the way they were between us. Because neither one of us has ever felt that way before, and we never will again. Not with anyone. The years that we’ve shared, I mean, all the obstacles that we’ve– we’ve gotten through, right? Our guards were up. Well, I’ve let mine down, and now it’s your turn.
Tucker: Ashley–
Ashley: And this plan that you have for glissade, tucker, it’s brilliant. I want to be a part of it. I want to be a part of every single aspect of your life, both personally and professionally.
Tucker: Um, you see, I don’t trust you anymore.
Ashley: We’re not good at trust. We’ve established that, but guess what? I think I’ve figured it out.
Tucker: Please–
Ashley: Listen to me, please. It takes honesty.
Tucker: No. You’re not listening to me. This is not going to happen.
Ashley: It’s not?
Tucker: No.
Ashley: Then, why did you invite me up to your suite? Anthony: This making you uncomfortable?
Tucker: I thought you might have something honest to say for once, but clearly you don’t, so I’ll just take the opportunity to tell you to your face that if you’re running some kind of scam here, it’s not going to work.
Ashley: There’s no scam. I have no ulterior motive. I’m after one thing, and you– you know what that is.
Tucker: Hey, stop! No. No. We’re not doing that. If you’re– if you’re setting me up for something, ashley, if you’re laying some kind of trap, I am never gonna fall into it, okay? I’m sorry if that messes with your plans.
Ashley: We love each other. It’s as simple as that, and we were on track to be outrageously happy. The world was ours for the taking. We got derailed.
Tucker: Stop.
Ashley: Listen, we can get back on track.
Tucker: Stop.
Ashley: I just need you to meet me ha–
Tucker: That’s enough! It’s not gonna work.
Tessa: Wow, I did not realize how hungry I was.
Mariah: Let me guess. You haven’t eaten in hours, right? Is that where you were on edge when I walked in?
Tessa: Um, actually… something happened… and I didn’t mention it because it upset me, and I knew it was gonna upset you, too.
Mariah: Okay. Well, I promise not to flip out, so just tell me.
Tessa: Well, you know how security at the ranch has been stepped up because of jordan being on the loose?
Mariah: Yeah.
Tessa: On my way out, one of the guards stopped me, thinking I was her. And I froze, and it freaked me out.
Mariah: What? No! They know you. They know us. How could this happen?
Tessa: Well, this guy was new, and once he figured it out, he was so apologetic. But you know what? It– it really freaked me out.
Mariah: Well, yeah, of course it would. That’s terrifying. And you know what? I don’t care if the guy is new. He should have been briefed better. I’m gonna talk to victor about this.
Tessa: Thank you.
[ Tessa sighs ] I mean, I know. This woman is a menace, and I am glad that there’s security, but it’s gotten to be a bit much.
Mariah: Yeah. Well, it’s been going on for weeks now, and everyone’s on edge.
Tessa: I’m worried that aria is picking up on it.
Mariah: I just hate that this is what passes for normal at the ranch.
Tessa: If this is the way it’s gonna be, maybe it’s time to move.
Jack: Wait, are you sure it was murder? Could it have been an– an accident or a suicide?
Nikki: I am sure. When we met for coffee, seth was very excited about his decision to go to rehab.
Jack: Could he have been covering for your benefit?
Nikki: No. He wasn’t depressed. He hadn’t had one drop of alcohol the whole day. He was not a man getting ready to fling himself in front of his speeding car.
Jack: So you think he was at this bar to confront jordan?
Nikki: I know that he was. Victor and I went there to the bar, and one of the officers said that seth was seen leaving with a woman. And then right after that, the same woman came back in and claimed that seth said, “tell nikki newman I’m sorry,” right before supposedly killing himself, which was a lie. She pushed him. She killed him to send me a message. Of course, she had disappeared by the time the police got there.
Jack: Oh, nikki, I am so sorry about all of this.
Nikki: If only I hadn’t asked him to string her along to help me, he’d still be alive.
Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t start thinking like that. This woman is a sociopath. This is not your fault.
Nikki: It’s only the half of it.
Jack: Wait, what do you mean?
Nikki: Jordan wasn’t done yet. Shortly after that, victoria got a phone call that her house was on fire.
Jack: What?
Nikki: She and victor raced over there, but the house couldn’t be saved.
Jack: Oh, my god. Poor victoria.
Nikki: And johnny and katie. Thank god, they’re at boarding school. Nobody was in the house, but their whole life is in there.
Jack: But no one was hurt.
Nikki: Yeah, I’m sure jordan will be disappointed to hear about that.
Jack: And I’m sure victor has his security team and the police on high alert. I mean, took– I had to go through several checkpoints to get in here.
Nikki: They can’t be everywhere all at once. And I am terrified for my family and how much I want to have a drink.
Jack: Okay, um, we could make a meeting if we left right now.
Nikki: Let’s go.
Jordan: I don’t know exactly what is supposed to end. I’m merely trying to live my life. You’re the ones that stole claire from me and turned her against me.
Victor: Given that you stole her from us when she was a baby.
Jordan: To give her a better life. To give her a more honest life. Something you would never have done. To show her what real family loyalty is.
Victor: Well now, jordan, your loyalty to your sister is– is deeply touching.
Jordan: My sister deserved your loyalty, victor. Instead you treated her like garbage.
Victor: Well, you know, I have a lot of regrets in my life. None bigger than the pangs of conscience I feel whenever I think of your sister, eve.
Jordan: So, tell me victor. Unburden yourself. Tell me all about it. Tell me what you’re going to do to make amends for my sister.
Victor: In order to do that, I’m going to have to look into your eyes, you know? So, let’s meet somewhere.
[ Jordan laughs ]
Jordan: So, I can walk right into your trap?
Victor: Or I into yours, right? I mean, are you willing to take the risk? I am. Y’all wayfair makes it so easy
Tessa: If jordan burned down victoria’s house, what else is she capable of? Aria is so vulnerable.
Mariah: Her safety is top priority and ours.
Tessa: Right. So, is the ranch really the right place to raise our baby? I mean even when the police catch up with this woman… the newmans don’t exactly live a simple quiet life. I mean there’s something always popping up with them. I mean a new threat, a conflict, and everyone around them just gets sucked in. I’m sorry, I– I don’t mean to upset you.
Mariah: No. No, no, you– you’re not upsetting me. I mean, I am upset about the guard, but I’ll get over that. It’s just– yeah, I– I never thought we’d stay there forever. The ranch is beautiful, and the tack house is amazing, but it’s always felt weird to me, you know? Living in a separate house on victor’s property. I mean, sharon’s house was one thing, but–
Tessa: It’s the newman ranch.
Mariah: And we’re not newmans. So, maybe it’s time to create our own home.
Nikki: Hi. My name is nikki and I’m an alcoholic. This has been one of the worst nights of my life. Um, some of you may know part of my story from other meetings.
[ Nikki sighs ] I have been through months of torture… where a mad woman who knew my history force fed me with alcohol through an iv. She was trying to destroy my sobriety. And she did. So, I found myself back at aa, craving alcohol and desperately wanting my sobriety back. So, um, I reconnected… with my long time sponsor, seth. And I think a lot of you in the room know him. And I’m so sorry to have to tell you that… seth died earlier tonight. He was hit by a car… outside of a bar. Now– now, to be clear, he was sober. He was pushed in front of that car by the same woman that I just mentioned. Her name is jordan. And I know that she is responsible for killing him. I– I– I wasn’t there. I didn’t witness it. I don’t have any proof. But I know that she did it. And I hate her for it. I hate her even more than I did before. And I just feel such tremendous guilt. Because, without my knowing, she tricked seth into believing that she and i were friends and she used him to spy on me. And so then when I realized what she was up to I– I asked him to keep her on the hook so that the police could catch her. And he was so eager to help me, I mean that’s just the kind of man he was. He always went above and beyond for me. And this time it cost him his life and now I– I wish that I hadn’t asked him to help me, you know? But I did, and so I feel partially responsible. And it will haunt me for the rest of my life. And now… all I want to do is drink. I want to crawl inside that bottle. But I know that that would not be the right way to honor seth’s memory. He would want me to be strong, he– he would want that for all of us. So, that’s what I intend to do. Because I’m going to make it my life’s mission to make sure that that monstrous, murderous bitch is put back behind bars. I want to see her punished, not just lack of her freedom. No, no, no, I want to see her pay and pay and pay for all of the people that she has killed, including seth. Frankly, I want to see her pay with her life. I want her to die in prison and not from old age. I want it to be in the most horrific way, unbearable agony with her begging for the mercy she didn’t show our seth. That’s what I want. And that’s what she deserves. So… if there is any justice in the world, if karma is real… that’s exactly what she’s gonna get. Soon enough, soon enough.
Ashley: You’re not gonna intimidate me just because you yelled at me.
Tucker: Why is it, ashley, every time I raise my voice above a whisper you accuse me of trying to coerce you somehow?
Ashley: I’m not accusing you of anything, tucker. I’m here to tell you that I understand you.
Tucker: Do you?
Ashley: Yeah. I know that all this anger and rage and suspicion is because I wounded you so deeply. I’m so sorry.
Tucker: Apology accepted. Now, you can get the hell out of my apartment.
Ashley: What are you doing?
Tucker: I have things to do.
Ashley: What? Like take somebody you don’t love to paris, when you could take me? When the two of us could be together just like we always dreamed of?
Tucker: This is just too ludicrous.
Ashley: What do I have to do to prove to you that I will never hurt you that way again? I promise you. Name it. Name it, whatever you want. I will never hurt you that way again, I swear.
[ Knocking on door ]
Audra: Tucker. Hi.
Tucker: Hey.
Audra: What’s she doing here?
Tucker: Just leaving, actually. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,
Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.
[ Ashley sighs ]
Ashley: I give that kiss about a three out of ten.
Audra: What’s going on here?
Ashley: Let me explain it to you, audra, and I’ll speak slowly so you can understand me. Tucker and I will be husband and wife again. I’m not going to back down for anyone or anything, and that’s including you. Because what we have is a once-in-a-lifetime connection between two people that were meant to be together. Now, I sabotaged that, and I was stupid. And now, I need to rectify my mistake and I will. You can count on it.
Audra: Ugh.
Tucker: God.
Audra: So suddenly, she’s madly in love with you, and wants you back?
Mariah: Oh, okay. Is this what we’re thinking? Look, it’s three bedrooms, two and a half baths, it’s a little east of the university. Walk to downtown, got to love the commune.
Tessa: Um, is there a yard for aria to play?
Mariah: There is a patio. No grass or trees. Lots to take care of.
Tessa: But there’s no room for a swing set. And what about privacy?
Mariah: Well, look, there’s a fence, yikes, but the houses on either side look down into the yard– excuse me, patio. Yeah, no, this is definitely more of a city center feel. If we want green space, we’d have to head to the park.
Tessa: Hm, I’ve never thought of myself as the suburban mom type.
Mariah: Oh, just wait until aria starts soccer.
Tessa: Oh, no, can’t think about that.
[ Both laughing ] Hey, what about something like this? Uh, newly renovated farmhouse in park-like setting on half acre with mature trees. I mean, doesn’t that sound nice and safe and romantic? And it’s in our price range.
Mariah: Lovely. How far out in the boonies is it?
Tessa: Oh, the boonies are great.
Mariah: No.
Tessa: And in this case, affordable.
Mariah: Okay, clearly, we need to make a list. Wants, needs, absolute deal breakers. We also gotta look at interest rates, taxes, all that stuff. I mean, we gotta put a kid through college someday.
Tessa: Wow, all this and brains too.
Mariah: You know, I have heard they come in handy sometimes.
Jack: Venting all that rage had to feel pretty good.
Nikki: Yeah, it did. But I know it won’t last.
Jack: No, it rarely does.
Nikki: I’ll wake up tomorrow, and seth will still be dead, and victoria’s house will still be in ashes. But being in front of those people, and saying out loud how much I detest jordan, that helped.
Jack: Yeah, I got that by the look in your face.
Nikki: Yeah, serenity mixed in with hatred.
Jack: Yeah, something like that.
Nikki: Jack, you have been my hero a few times lately. I don’t know that I would be able to hold it together without you.
Jack: Oh, sure you would. No doubt in my mind. I’m just glad you don’t have to.
Nikki: Yeah, me too. Um, so I have just one more favor to ask.
Jack: Ask away.
Nikki: Please take this away. Even though I’m feeling strong, you never know when the urge is going to come back, please.
If you’re taking
an antidepressant,
Victor: What is that bottle doing in here?
Nikki: I didn’t know I had it. As you can see, it’s unopened partly thanks to jack, and he was just going to get rid of it for me.
Victor: I hope we don’t find any other alcohol on this ranch.
Nikki: Well, I’m not aware of any.
Jack: I will see that it is disposed of off the premises. Good night to both of you.
Victor: Thank you, jack.
Nikki: What are you doing up and dressed? I thought you went to bed.
Victor: Told you I have to make a call from the office.
Nikki: At this hour?
Victor: Yeah. It’s late afternoon in singapore.
Nikki: Victor, can’t it wait?
Victor: Sweetheart, I said I have to make a call.
Nikki: All right, it’s just us.
Victor: Right.
Nikki: Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?
Tucker: You’ve got absolutely nothing to worry about. You can believe that.
Audra: Well, I just walked in here in your suite, and found your ex, declaring that it’s her new mission to win you back. Look, I’m not worried, but I sure as hell am annoyed.
Tucker: I hear you. That’s fair. But this was not some secret rendezvous.
Audra: Then what was it? Why weren’t you at the bar downstairs in public? Why did this meeting have to take place in a room with a bed?
Tucker: Because she was absolutely insistent that we meet in person immediately, and I was in the middle of packing, so it was more convenient for me.
Audra: Yeah, for her too, I’m sure. You know, if she was that upfront with me that she wants and loves you, I can only imagine what she had the brass to say before I showed up.
Tucker: I can understand you being pissed off, but I just don’t want you to be jealous.
Audra: Jealous? I have every right to feel the way I feel with this entire situation. She’s still around, in our lives, in your room.
Tucker: Right, but you heard my response to her, right? You heard what I said.
Audra: She’s not getting the message.
Tucker: I don’t know how I can be any more clear.
Audra: You know, tell me the truth. Has she done this before? Insist you get back together?
Tucker: No, never. Which makes me suspect there’s some, uh, strategic move at play here. To what end, I have no idea, but it’s not going to work. Hey. I almost lost you once. And… I’m never going to let that happen again.
[ Audra sighs ]
Audra: Well, at least, I guess, you can see what she’s up to. She’s such a mess. Did you see her reaction after we kissed? She wasn’t cool or collected at all for that second. You know, that tough stance of hers is sheer bravado.
Tucker: Yeah, just I– I saw something in her– in her eyes, though. Different than that, it was– she was confused, like she didn’t know what she was doing or why she was here.
Audra: I don’t know, I highly doubt ashley abbott’s ever confused about anything. But at least you packed for paris.
Tucker: Oui.
Audra: Despite the interruption, does ashley know that we’re leaving for paris?
Tucker: The first thing I mentioned.
Audra: Is she going to follow us there, hide in your suitcase?
Tucker: She might. I’ll be sure to check before we go to the airport. No, she’s not going to interfere with this trip.
Audra: I want to believe that. I just– I can’t wait to be on that plane with you. Just away from all of this. Just you and me, together in paris in a way we have never been before.
Tucker: I’m going to be the absolutely luckiest man in paris.
Audra: You already are.
Ashley: Uh, an old fashioned, please. Thanks. I think she suspects. It won’t be much longer now. And then she’ll be safe. For good. I would’ve called yesterday.
Mariah: Okay, look, look. This one checks an awful lot of boxes.
Tessa: Oh, the kitchen. Okay, that kitchen is now one of my must-haves. Whoever designed it thought of everything.
Mariah: You’ve always said you wanted to learn how to cook, so–
Tessa: Oh, there’s actually room to spread out. We could even cook together sometime.
Mariah: Oh, baby. It’s so great to have dreams.
[ Both laughing ]
Tessa: Oh, the location. Could it be any more perfect?
Mariah: Yeah, new roof, finished basement. I mean, ridiculous amounts of storage, and look, look. The little sunroom overlooking the yard.
Tessa: Are you thinking a home office?
Mariah: Uh, or a playroom. Or both. [ Laughs ]
Tessa: I love this, you know?
Mariah: What? Looking at houses that we’re probably not gonna buy?
Tessa: No, planning our future. I mean, think about it. We have a lifetime together. We get to watch aria grow up for years and years. Neither of us grew up in a house with a sunroom/playroom with parents that adored us and we get to give that to our daughter. And to each other. I mean, it’s incredible.
Mariah: We’re living the dream.
Tessa: No one else I’d want to live with.
Victor: I told you that I have to make a call to singapore.
Nikki: From newman?
Victor: Yes.
Nikki: Right this second?
Victor: Either way, why did you call jack over?
Nikki: Because I was in danger of opening the bottle. You should be grateful that I got a hold of jack when I did.
Victor: All right. I’m glad you didn’t drink. And I’m glad that he took the damn bottle with him. So, uh, why don’t you get some rest, sweetheart?
Nikki: Victor, I am not letting you slip out the door at this hour when I don’t know what you’re up to.
Victor: I gotta get going. Right now, okay?
Nikki: Tell me where you’re going. Tell me the truth.
Tucker: Something’s not right.
Ashley: Well, hello, jackie. How are you?
Jack: Well, let’s just say it’s nice to be home.
Ashley: I know exactly what you mean.
Jack: Well, I guess you were right about a walk in the brisk night air. You seem–
Ashley: What? Refreshed?
Jack: In a good mood.
Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, for the first time in a while, I don’t know, I feel like everything is coming together. Like, I’ve got this– this vision for my life, you know?
Jack: Without tucker, I hope.
Ashley: Absolutely.
Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…
[ Door clicks open ]
Phyllis: It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone.
Nikki: I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.
Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman?
Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.
Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay? I love that my daughter still needs me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!
[ Cellphone chimes ] Kristina: Sam! Hi. Hi! Hi. You okay? How are you doing? I’ve been so worried about you ever since we heard about dante. Molly still is at the office, otherwise she’d be here. How’s dante? I have good news. Great, thank you. That’s great, chase. Yeah. Will you — will you let me know when forensic has got any information on that hoodie? Thank you. Good. Call me back. Commissioner devane. I heard about falconeri. How’s he doing? Yeah, he’s — he’s out of surgery, so… good. Yeah. There’s been a development. Okay. Is that… jason morgan? That image was taken tonight from the roof of selina wu’s warehouse. Now we know who was shooting at sonny. I should be at the hospital right now. I’m sure pacing here is helping dante as much as pacing there would. Thanks. Like I don’t already feel useless enough. No, I just — I meant that your good thoughts are reaching him no matter where you are.
[ Sighs heavily ] Okay, yeah. Also, I would have said anything to get you to stop. I’m sorry. I — I don’t mean to make you… as crazy as this is making me. You have every right to be worried about your brother. In the meantime, my fellow nurses are sending me regular updates. See? Well, no change. No change. No change. That’s good, right? That means that he’s — what, that he’s stable? And you didn’t even go to medical school. And if dante’s condition changes, you know, for better or, god forbid, for worse, we will get someone to watch the kids and we will head right over to gh. Yeah. I know you’re right. I just… well, I — I just feel so helpless. Sorry. No. You don’t have to apologize.
[ Sighs ]
[ Sighs ] Jason: Carly.
Hey. There you are. Any news on dante? Yes! Yes, yes! The best. Our son made it through surgery. Oh.
[ Laughs ]
[ Crying ] They’re getting dante set up in his icu room, and once that’s done, he can have visitors. Okay. Well, what are you still doing here? I know you’re dying to see him. Um… so excited to see him. He’s unconscious, and I — I just feel like I need a few more minutes before I see him like that. Well, you take the time you need. And then when you’re ready, he’ll know you’re there. I’m glad you two are here. Honey, any time. Yes. Always.
[ Knocking ] Uh, I’ll get it. It’s dex and joss. It’s okay. I got it. Hi. Come on in, guys. Hi. Have you been at the hospital this entire time? Yes. We had to give commissioner devane a statement, and I took him home to change. Lucky me, no one had cleared out my apartment yet. Look, I can’t thank you two enough for what you did for dante at the scene. Willow: One of the er nurses said dante might not have made it if you two hadn’t intervened, so thank you. So, um… are you… here with an update? Not about dante. Um, he was still in surgery when we left the hospital. But we do know something about the person who shot him. That’s impossible. Oh, my god. No, if — if this is jason, he would never work for anyone who would hurt sonny. Say, okay, listen. We know he was on the roof. We know the shots came from the roof. We know that dante falconeri left the roof to pursue two people. Assuming one of them is morgan, where would he go? Well, to sonny obviously, but he’s here. Or…sam.
[ Indistinct conversation in distance ] Anyone else? Yeah. There is one other person he would run to.
[ Shakily ] Jason? It’s me. It’s you? It’s really you? It’s really me.
[ Sniffles ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Crying ] Oh, you came back!
[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry it took so long.
[ Crying ] What — what happened? Where have you been?
[ Grunts softly ] What are you wearing? You’re bleeding. Were you shot? Yeah. How bad is it?
[ Gasps ] It’s — it’s not bad. You always say that. Oh, god. Alright. Carly… the bullet passed through. I could use a bandage. Okay? I’m gonna be okay. I…have… a first aid kit I can get. I don’t want to leave you. I’m gonna be here when you get back. Promise me. Promise me you got to be standing right here when I come back. Promise me. I promise.
[ Grunts, inhales sharply ]
[ Exhales sharply ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay. Wait, wait. Uh, sam just texted me dante’s room number, so… alright. Let’s go. Yeah. I’ll see you later? Mm-hmm. I’m so happy about dante. Thank you. Thank you. Olivia. Sonny. I h– I heard what happened. Is dante okay? Yes, yes. He made it through surgery, but we’re just — we’re just going to see him in icu. Oh, thank god. I’m sure he’s gonna be fine. Yeah. Um… we’re going to see him now, so… oh, right. Y-yeah, of course. Sonny. Um, please give dante my best. Of course. Of course we will. Ava, what is going on? What the hell happened tonight? Excuse me? Maybe you could help me. I’m gonna meet you upstairs. Oh, right. Oh, wow. And I brought you a change of clothes, toiletries, snacks. Thank you. It completely slip my mind.
[ Elevator bell dings ] Um, call me the minute you need me. Both: Okay. Alright? Hey, mom. Yeah? What snacks? They’re not for you. I mean, for two. Hello there. Oh. Oh, hi. Hi. So… by any chance, have you seen sonny around? I, uh, I know he’s waiting on word. I have not seen sonny, but I did hear that dante made it through surgery and he’s in the icu. Excellent. Excellent. I take it you’re representing sonny’s associates who are in custody? I am. Yeah. Yeah, and I’ve got to update him on the situation, so I’ve got to go find him. Excuse me. Not so fast. Where do you think you’re going? When we found dante, someone had already given him first aid. They had elevated his legs, wrapped a sweatshirt around him as a pressure bandage. There was also a phone lying next to him with a line to 911. Hold on, s-so the person that — that shot dante also tried to help him? Yes, and they were also risking being recognized because dante could have seen their face. It looks that way. None of this makes any sense. Why would he shoot dante and then call 911? Maybe he didn’t want to go down for killing a cop. Wait, hold on. There’s another — another possibility here. What if… the shooter helped dante… because he knows him?
[ Monitor beeping steadily ] Dad! Hey. Hi. Hi. Oh! How are you? I’m fine. Only damage was to my coat. Because you’re — you’re lucky. You’re not bulletproof. How you doing?
[ Exhales sharply ] Frantic at first. When mom first called to tell me about dante, it was like… okay, now, isn’t this too much stress for the baby? Honestly, the way I see it, with this family, the sooner this baby learns to handle stress, the better, right? How you doing really? You know… it’s interesting how your body reacts to stress when you know it’s bad for the baby, right? And also pushing the stress down could make it worse, so… I don’t know, dad. I’m just doing a lot of breathing. I bet you are. But dante’s doing better and… seeing you helps. Right back at you. You take care of yourself, okay? Of course. How is my son? Mr. Falconeri is in critical condition, but his vitals are stable. Do you know when he’s gonna wake up? It’s too soon to say. Okay. You’re his parents. You go in first. Go ahead.
[ Sniffles ] Hey, son.
[ Crying ] We’re here.
I’ve — I’ve got to go find sonny. Not until you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me. I haven’t really been avoiding you. I just had a feeling that… perhaps you weren’t too thrilled with me right now. Did we have some sort of a knock-down drag-out fight that I’ve blocked out? ‘Cause I’ve been sober for a while now, and I think I would have known. No, no. I just know that you wanted me to represent finn in the malpractice case. And not only was I not able to do that, I was the plaintiff’s attorney, and I just feel that perhaps you’re a little… unhappy with me. What is wrong with you? It’s me you’re talking to you. I haven’t been disbarred for that long. I know how lawyers work. I know what they do, and you were doing your job. It’s not personal. I’m glad to hear it. If you were worried about this, why didn’t you talk to me? I know. And normally, I would have. Normally, I wouldn’t have thought twice about that. But this is finn we’re talking about, and I know he’s important to you. And you’re important to me as well. What I was really disappointed in was that I couldn’t represent him. Ah. And I do miss mopping the floor with you in court.
[ Laughs ] Yes, mop– mopping. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Anyway, uh, if you ever did mop the floor with me, it certainly wasn’t as often as you seem to think. Oh, I know exactly how often it was, which is why I miss it. Yes, well, I miss going toe-to-toe with you as well, but jurisprudence’s loss is journalism’s gain. Well, journalism is about to experience another devastating loss. Sonny and selina were having a perfectly harmless, perfectly legal conversation when anna burst in with the fbi, guns blazing like some kind of raid. How terrible! Yeah, tell me about it. Well, that must have been frightening. I guess it was a little. So what were you doing there? I thought I could be of some use. Honestly, ava, what were you thinking? I had to be there. I was tired of sitting on the sidelines worrying that avery might end up as collateral damage or that sonny might… …that avery might lose her father. Okay, so what was this active role that you were playing? We had to sell the idea that sonny and selina were meeting with a mediator to settle their business conflicts. And how are you, the mother of one of sonny’s children, an impartial mediator? Well, I used to be in… you know, I used to be in t-that world, you know, so… yeah. …So who better, right? Well, I guess. There’s no way to know if it would have worked anyway because the cops showed up and that was that. Well, I can sort of see why you did it, but what if — if something had gone wrong, ava? Which it kind of did. You could have gotten shot too! Or…killed! Yeah. I guess… I guess I could have been. I mean, anybody could have been. We all had to duck for cover. I’m glad you weren’t! I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.
[ Exhales sharply ] Oh. Aww. Look, I appreciate you coming back, dex. It’s a good thing you did, because you — you might have saved dante’s life. Not alone. Joss did just as much as I did. Well, honestly, I think the only reason dante was still alive when we got there is because of the pressure bandage. And the only reason he was able to even get to the hospital is because that person dialed 911. Isn’t it possible that whoever helped dante had nothing to do with the shooting, and maybe they were a good samaritan, and they just had their own reasons for not wanting anyone to know they were there? We left the pier as soon as the paramedics took dante away, but chase and the cops were there collecting evidence, and so they have the cellphone and the sweatshirt that was used as a bandage. Maybe it’s enough to track this guy down.
[ Footsteps approaching ] I’m gonna need you to lift your shirt.
[ Exhales sharply ] Okay. Yeah.
[ Groans ] Oh, I’m sorry.
[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry. I just — I… I’m gonna have to clean it.
[ Breathlessly ] It’s okay. Mm! I don’t want it to get infected. I just want to get it clean. Okay. Here.
[ Gasps ] I think it’s clean. Okay.
[ Exhales sharply ] How? How are you here? Jason?
[ Exhales sharply ] I wish I could call my mom and ask her how to help you with — no, no. Do not. Do not call bobbie. No. No. I can’T. She died.
[ Sighs heavily ] Bobbie’s dead?
[ Sobbing ] Yeah.
[ Knocking ] Anna: Police! Open the door.
[ Pounding ]
Yes, we saw him. He saw us, but we didn’t speak. He was with olivia and sam. They were all waiting outside the trauma room while dante was in surgery. Well, it was good of you to come to the house and tell sam and olivia what happened. I’m glad they got to see him. One last time? I can’t even think about it. I cannot think about rocco losing his father. I can’t think about avery and donna losing their big brother. But we all know that this could happen. And, yes, dante is a cop and he takes risks, but… we have to be honest here. This would not be happening if it wasn’t for sonny.
[ Sniffles ]
[ Sniffles ]
[ Crying ] Well… well, I’m obviously appalled. I can’t say that I’m surprised. Thanks! You always know just what to say. Yes, I do. Now, while a publisher certainly has the right to overrule an editor in chief when it comes to hiring individual journalists, this seems like a breach of trust. Yeah. Nina is all about trust.
[ Scoffs ] Alright, so an editor in chief has the right to determine who does and does not work for the papers. Right. And if she had recommended a columnist, I could decide whether or not to hire said columnist. That would have been one thing. But that’s not what happened. No. She made a unilateral decision. There was no collaboration. So what are you going to do? I’m going to not think about this right now, and I’m going to concentrate on my daughter and helping her through this crisis. Of course. Of course. Your family always takes first priority. But just so you know, you have a right to bitch about the… boss.
[ Chuckles ] So, bro… …opening day is… right around the corner, and I know you’re not going to miss that. Especially since it’s the yankees’ year. You know, I was — I was at the pub the other day, and the game was on. This one bartender is a huge sox fan, and we were joking around back and forth for a while. And by the end of the game, I found myself rooting for them. And I thought… “man, my brother is gonna kill me.” See, since you’ve been in here,
[Voice breaking] It’s like the whole world’s upside down. I’m so worried about sonny. I know that my marriage is not in [Scoffs] The best shape right now, but I love him, ava. I love him, and I don’t want anything to happen to him. And whoever’s out to kill sonny, I am terrified that he might succeed. And I don’t — I don’t want to have to worry about you too. Oh, you don’T.
[ Chuckles ] No! Rest assured, after this little misadventure, I’m laying off any derring-do for the foreseeable future. Okay? Oh, good. This is insane, right? I mean, I know that sonny has enemies. But this? Well, for what it’s worth, I think we’re getting closer to the truth. Wait. Does sonny know who’s behind this? Do you? No. I swear. Some idea then, ava? Come on. I need to know who is trying to kill my husband.
[ Pounding ] Carly, open the door. Big house, other entrances. Let’s try one. Yeah. Hey, what’s going on? May we come inside? Uh, not until you tell me what’s going on. You’re aware that dante was shot earlier this evening? Yes. We’re pursuing a suspect. Okay. Well, what does that have to do with me? I will explain. Maybe we come inside? Yeah.
[ Door closes ] Anna: I believe you’ve met my colleague, federal agent cates? Yes. Hello, agent cates. Ms. Spencer. Okay. What’s this about a suspect? You might want to sit down, carly. Why? What’s going on? Does something happened to one of my kids? No, no. Well, not as far as I know. No, it has nothing to do with your children. Then why do you want me to sit down? Jason morgan is alive.
[ Monitor beeping steadily ]
you know moreabout this than you’re saying. If I had anything concrete to tell you, I would. But I’m open to hearing theories. Well… you know, theories are just as good as random guesses right now. Just when we think we have a picture, new pieces appear and the pieces don’t fit. Wait. You mean, sonny and you? And selina wu. You know, I — I can sort of understand why sonny is not telling me any of this, but I would think that you’d realize how important this is to me. Even when things were good between you and sonny, he — he kept you out of his business dealings, didn’t he? Yes, he did. But you’re not in the business anymore. Well… I was. I know how it works. I know the players. Now, I know that it wouldn’t make sense for sonny to confide in me about anything else, but in this particular circumstance, nina, I’m — I’m a resource. I know this has got to be very frustrating. It’s got to be frustrating to feel like you’re on the outside looking in. But believe me, you do not want to be on the inside of this. This isn’t just about me feeling excluded, ava. Do you understand that sonny is my husband? He needs me, whether he wants to admit that or not, and I can’t even support him through this! Oh, you’re right. He needs as many people in his corner as possible. Then tell me what’s going on, and stop playing switzerland. Come on! The last thing I am right now is neutral. Then why won’t you help me with my husband? Diane: Your guards are not under arrest, either federal or local for now. Thank you for doing that. You’re still gonna have to answer some questions, make a statement. I cannot imagine agent cates is going to give you reprieve beyond tomorrow morning. Agent cates can wait till hell freezes over. My priority is my son. How is dante? He’s pale, defenseless… but he’s a fighter, you know? Sometimes that’S… not enough. Oh, come on, sonny. Come on. After everything he’s been through, dante’s not gonna give up on this life. Thank you. How are you? You know me, diane. I just want to find out who did this… and take care of the situation. And I’m not saying that you’re wrong… but you want me to let go of my anger for the sake of the family and because it’s not doing me any good. Right? Look, what I was going to say is that sonny knows that he played a part in what happened to dante, and, josslyn, that’s got to be killing him. I know that it’s his son, michael. Okay? But I have trouble feeling sorry for him when we constantly have to see the people we love get hurt. Something I’ve really started to learn since becoming a nurse… for a lot of people, it’s more bearable to be angry than it is to be afraid. So while you have every right to be angry with sonny, maybe it’s also a way to feel less afraid for dante. Yeah. Um…
[ Sniffles ] There was a moment on the pier with dante where… his heart stopped beating and we couldn’t get a pulse. Dex was doing the chest compressions. I was doing the rescue breathing. But he was shot in the chest, and there was this voice in my head that was saying… “what if you’re doing it wrong?”
[ Voice breaking ] What we’re the people who killed him? Carly: Is this some kind of a joke? Jason died in greece. That’s what we thought, yes. However — no. Stop. You don’t get to do that, anna. You don’t get to show up my house in the middle of the night and tell me that jason’s alive. I’ve been grieving him every day for the past two years. Yes. So do you have proof? If so, I want to see it. If not, get the hell out of my house. We have proof. Can we show you? That was taken earlier this evening on the roof of a warehouse at 257 water street. We confiscated it from somebody I believe you know — damian spinelli. Are you sure? You’re 100% sure that spinelli took this tonight? Within the past four hours, yes. And it’s real? Jason’s alive? Yes, and with your permission, we’d like to search the house for him.
After everything that we’ve been through… been through a lot… we’re friends, right? No friend — and it’s true, there haven’t been many…
[ Both chuckle ] No friend has been as loyal and generous to me as you have. Then help me with sonny. Have you signed the divorce papers? No, I can’t bring myself to even look at them, much less sign them. Good. Good. Don’T. No problem on my end, but sooner or later, sonny’s gonna insist. Don’t worry about that. We’re gonna come up with a plan. And what plan would that be? I’m gonna help you save your marriage. That would be amazing. I just hope it’s not too late. Why would you think it’s too late? I’m just afraid that the longer that sonny and I are apart, his feelings for me are… gonna f-fade… that he’s gonna force himself to forget what we have together. Or worse — he’s gonna decide to… move on with someone else. Well… we just can’t let that happen.
[ Both laugh ] Hey. Hey. Any changes? No. I wish. I wish. I, um… I just felt like I needed to stretch my legs a little. I’m feeling pretty useless in there. It helps him to know that you’re here. Yeah, I know. You look beat. Thanks. Do you want me to…? I’ll stay here. You can go home, get rest. No, no, no. I’m not leaving him. Sonny, why don’t — you’ve been here all night. Why don’t – why don’t you go home and get some rest? Nah, I think I’m gonna stick around for a while.
[ Amelia crying over baby monitor ] Thank you. Oh, I’d better handle that before amelia wakes wiley. Can I come with you and give my niece a hug? Of course you can. You know, my sister’s crazy about you. The feeling’s mutual. But you’re not sure you’re gonna stay. It’s not about what I want, it’s about what’s best. For who? For joss. You tried to tell me months ago, and you were right. Our lives are just too different, and… the best thing I can do for joss is to leave and stay gone. You want to search my house for jason? We do, yes. I — I just found out that he’s alive. I don’t even know if I believe you. I don’t know that spinelli gave you that footage. I don’t even know if it’s real. Well, jason is familiar with this house, right? The physical layout, the security system? Yes. So it’s possible that he slipped inside without your knowledge. You’re not searching my house! You don’t have my consent. You don’t have my permission. And if you don’t get the hell out of my house, I’m gonna call my lawyer. We asked as a courtesy, ms. Spencer. We don’t need your permission. We have a warrant.

Luna: I just realized I’m not good at this. I can’t do it.
Rj: What are you talking about? What do you mean you’re not good at this?
Poppy: Luna’s always been shy about expressing affection in public. But, um, sweetie, pda’s are unavoidable when a couple loves each other as much as you two do.
Rj: Yeah, and you know, the last thing I want you to be is uncomfortable. Do you want to go someplace more private? Maybe my place?
Luna: Uh, yeah, I’d love to.
Rj: Okay, I got a meeting in the cutting room, but I’ll meet you downstairs in ten.
Luna: Okay, I’ll be there.
Rj: Okay. See you.
Poppy: Bye. You were going to tell him, weren’t you?
Luna: I hate having this secret between us.
Poppy: Okay, but, luna, if you tell rj that you accidentally slept with zende, you will lose him.
Zende: She’s right, luna. You have to be very careful of what you stand to lose, or gain, if you decide to go down this road.
Hope: Ah, good, we’re alone.
Steffy: I had a cleaning crew specializes in, um…
Finn: Yeah.
Steffy: I just wanna put this behind us. I really do. I want this house to feel like your home again.
Finn: And I want that, too. At bombas, we’re obsessed with socks.
Poppy: Aren’t you worried? I can’t think of anything else.
Zende: Isn’t that why you have your magic mints? Take the edge off?
Poppy: I am fully aware that I am the reason why luna is in this awful situation. I just wish I kept better track of my mints that evening.
Zende: Yeah, I wish you had, too. Did I want to be with luna? Yes, I don’t deny it, but not the way it happened.
Poppy: I am terrified that luna will tell rj about being with you and she will lose that happiness that she found. Forever.
Luna: I hope you know how much our relationship means to me, and I’d never knowingly do anything to jeopardize it.
Rj: Hey, I’m in this for the long haul. You know that.
Luna: I hope so.
Rj: Is everything alright? Hey, you know what? I’m sorry. We don’t have to talk about that if you don’t want to. You know me. I’m right here to help whenever you need me. But… I do have an idea for something that we can do together that might be the solution to all your problems.
Luna: Yeah? What’s that?
Rj: Night swim?
Thomas: Hey, when you saw steffy earlier, how’d she seem?
Hope: Well, you know your sister. She’s putting on a brave face. Obviously, she’s horrified that she took a life, even if it was in self-defense. And the fact that it is her husband’s birth mother just adds to the guilt.
Thomas: Yeah, sorry. I don’t– I don’t have a lot of patience with finn’s torment over sheila’s demise. I mean, has he forgotten that sheila shot him and his wife, my sister, and left them for dead? Or– or– or the fact that she broke into their house and could have killed his wife? I mean, steffy could be dead right now because of sheila.
Hope: Of course, finn understands that, thomas. But sheila was still his birth mother, I mean, like it or not, there is a connection there. One that finn doesn’t even understand. And you can’t just wish it away. Sheila’s dead because of steffy and that’s hard for him to absorb. So, I just– you know, I just told steffy to try to understand her husband’s feelings.
Steffy: Here you go.
Finn: Thank you.
Steffy: I’m really glad that you’re home. I’m glad that you want to be here despite everything that happened.
Finn: And everything that I love is in this house. You, the kids, my surfboard.
[ Finn sighs heavily ]
Steffy: You look tired.
Finn: Well, like I said, it’s been a long day.
Steffy: Yeah.
Finn: Where are the kids?
Steffy: Kelly is with liam and hayes is with grandma li. It does give us a night to ourselves. It gives us a chance to reconnect. We need it.
Finn: I know. I’m here.
Zende: Can you bring in those swatches on your way into work tomorrow? Okay. All right, awesome. Thank you. There it is again. Don’t you have somewhere to be? I’m trying to work.
Poppy: Well, excuse me if I’m concerned about my daughter.
Zende: I am too, but there’s nothing that we can do at the moment. Except to keep encouraging her not to tell rj what happened with me by mistake. What? I care about luna and her happiness. I wish she had found it with me, but that’s not how things worked out. Rj is the lucky winner.
Poppy: You talk a good game, I’ll give you that. Not the reason I’m concerned.
Zende: Look, I am not plotting to come in between luna and rj, if that’s what you’re afraid of. However, if he’s stupid enough to lose her or to push her away, I will be there to pick up the pieces. Count on it.
Poppy: Easy there, tiger. Don’t get your hopes up. The only thing that can come between them is if luna tells rj about what happened with you. And I’m going to make sure that she doesn’T. And not to protect herself, but to protect you and your family. Especially your relationship with rj.
Rj: Do you trust me?
Luna: You know I do.
Rj: Well then I’m telling you a night swim is exactly what you need.
Luna: I mean, I’ve never been in the ocean after dark.
Rj: It– it’s a first. That’s even better. Come on!
Luna: I don’t know, rj.
Rj: Listen, I’ll be right there with you. The whole time. Hm? It’ll be fun. Maybe, you know, it’ll take your mind off of whatever’s been bothering you.
Luna: I love how you’re always looking out for me.
Rj: Well, you know, it’s– it’s my job, so… no, come on, what do you say? A night swim always clears my mind. Maybe it’ll do the same for you. And you left your swimsuit here. Wait, do you hear that? I– it’s the ocean. It’s the ocean. It’s calling your name.
Luna: Okay, fine, let’s do it.
Rj: Yes, let’s do it. Come on.
Thomas: You and steffy didn’t get into a fight or anything, did you?
Hope: No. But she wasn’t exactly receptive to me either, which is fine. She’s going through a lot right now, but so is finn. And that was the only point I was trying to make.
Thomas: I’m guessing steffy isn’t exactly receptive of finn’s grief over sheila.
Hope: No. But she also just can’t brush it under the rug and dismiss it. I mean, his feelings are valid. Sheila gave birth to him.
Thomas: Yeah.
Hope: Steffy killed her, and so, obviously, there is going to be a conflict there. I just hope that they can treat it with understanding and compassion.
Thomas: Did you say that to steffy?
Hope: I tried. I’m not sure my delivery was the greatest. Um, and quite frankly, I don’t think steffy even really wanted to hear it coming from me. But, I don’t know, I just– sheila’s death, I really do worry, might create some problems in their marriage.
Steffy: You have no idea how much I needed this.
Finn: I think I have an idea.
Steffy: I love you so much. Never forget that.
Finn: No, I never do. I love you too. More than– more than anything, sorry.
Steffy: No, no, no, don’t be. You’re exhausted. So, how about this? Why don’t you just rest up a bit? I’ll hop in the shower and wake you up with a kiss when I’m back, okay?
Finn: I love the sound of that. Hm.
[ Finn sobbing ] (Vo) for over 50 years
[ Zende sighing ]
Rj: Wow. Wow. God, you look amazing.
Luna: You make me feel amazing.
Rj: Come on, you don’t need me for that. You know how special you are. You are beautiful. Inside and out. And you are sweet and you are funny. You’re one of the most honest people I’ve ever met.
Luna: I don’t ever want to do anything to disappoint you. Or not see love in your eyes whenever you look at me.
Rj: It’ll never happen.
Luna: No, I mean it, rj. I mean, you mean everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without you.
Rj: Don’t even think about it. I’m not going anywhere.
Luna: You know, I’m gonna hold you to that.
Rj: Okay.
Luna: In fact, I think I’m just gonna hold you.
Hope: Steffy and finn love each other. They have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful family. And for sheila to cause problems for them, even beyond the grave, is unacceptable. They can’t let her win. I mean, now’s the time that they have to really become devoted to each other. Listen to each other. Or try to act with– with compassion and understanding. And… I just– I don’t know, that’s– that is what I was trying to tell steffy, but she was not ready to hear it. Or at least she did not want to hear it from me.
Thomas: I love how much you care. It shows the kind of kind and compassionate person you are. However, I don’t really wanna spend the rest of the day talking about steffy and finn if we don’t have to. Love always finds a way, right? And they love each other. So, it’s gonna be okay. I mean, look at us. Found a way somehow for us and I will always love you.
Sheila: I love you so much, baby. My son.
[ Echoing ] Son.
Steffy: No. No. No.
[ Steffy and sheila grunting ]
Finn: NO.
Sheila: No, stop.
Finn: Stop, stop.
[ Sheila gasping ]
Finn: No, stop, stop. Stop. Stop, stop.
Sheila: Finn, help me.
Finn: Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Steffy: Finn? Finn, what– what happened? Baby, what happened?
Finn: She was just here– she was– sheila and I saw the– uh, I saw everything. I just saw the knife and the blood. And I saw the– the… I saw everything that happened and– and– and she was– my name and she was– she was– she was– she got– I couldn’t help her.
Steffy: Baby, baby, hey.
Finn: I couldn’t help her I couldn’t save her and I… I just– I just, I…
Steffy: Baby, you were sleeping, okay? Hey, hey. Breathe. Breathe, okay? Breathe. I’m here. You fell asleep on the couch. You had a nightmare. You’re safe. You’re safe now. Oh, god, I hate you’re so tortured by this. But we’re gonna get through this, okay? You and me, like we get through everything. I love you, okay? It’s okay. It’s okay.

Tate was so sure that Holly would tell the truth that he did not give her those drugs. Theresa points out that his family believes him. Tate complains that he’s still stuck here with no way out and asks what he’s going to do. Theresa responds that she has a plan.
Eric goes to the DiMera Mansion where Nicole answers the door. Eric welcomes her back and hugs her. Eric asks about Holly.

Nicole adds that Holly is on the mend and getting stronger every hour. Eric calls that fantastic and asks how Italy was for her. Nicole says she was mostly back and forth between the hospital and her hotel room. Nicole asks about his photography business. Eric says it’s great and picking up but his main focus has been on parenthood. Eric tells Nicole that he’s really happy to see her.
Leo goes to Sloan’s apartment. Sloan says she’s going to regret this but she’s desperate for a babysitter and he’s her last resort. Sloan says she went through every contact in her phone, Eric’s family, and the neighbors but no one else was available. Leo talks about coming prepared. Sloan says she’s going to meet a new client and will hopefully be back in a few hours before Eric gets home. Leo reminds her that he doesn’t work cheap. Sloan remarks that he’s been draining her dry for weeks as she then exits.
John and Steve go over a map of the prison as Ava calls her cousin Angelo, asking if he can make this happen as Tripp doesn’t have much time. Ava says she owes him big as she hangs up. John tells Ava that he’s sorry this situation has put her in this position. Ava says so much for vowing to never work with her family again. Steve asks if they are in then. Ava confirms that Angelo and his team will do their part. Steve asks what it cost her.
Nicole brings Eric to see Holly. Holly excitedly hugs him and says she’s so glad he’s there. Eric says he’s so happy to see her awake as they were pretty scared for awhile.

Tate asks what Theresa’s plan is. Sloan arrives and introduces herself to Tate. Theresa reveals that Sloan has agreed to take over Tate’s case. Tate asks what happened to Justin. Theresa says that Justin is knee deep in defending Xander from attempted murder charges and he’ll help later if he can so she went outside of the Kiriakis family because she wants to get Tate home to his family where he belong as soon as possible.

Ava says her family is doing this as a one time favor, but if it comes back to bite her, she’ll deal with it when the time comes. John says they need the connections to get inside the prison.

Jude wakes up crying so Leo goes to get the bottle of formula to feed him but that doesn’t work so Leo takes his temperature and finds that he is fine. Leo then realizes he may have to change the diaper.
Tate tells Sloan everything that happened on New Year’s Eve. She asks if he can remember any small detail that he may have left out but Tate assures that’s everything. Theresa asks if Sloan thinks she can help. Sloan says she does but thinks they should go over the challenges first. Sloan says that EJ’s case is multi-circumstantial but it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help or lied to a police officer at first. Theresa argues that Tate was scared, confused, and just trying to help Holly. Sloan says she understands but the question is if the jury will understand if it goes to trial.
Nicole says she has to go schedule Holly’s next appointment and tells Holly and Eric to keep talking as she exits the room. Eric tells Holly about visiting her in the hospital every day and praying until Nicole took her to Italy. Holly asks if anyone else was there. Eric says there was pretty much everyone at some point.

Leo gets emotional at Jude smiling.
Holly tells Eric that New Year’s Eve is all just a blur and she really wishes she could remember what happened. Holly asks how Jude is doing. Eric shows her some pictures as Nicole rejoins them. Eric mentions Jude’s upcoming Christening and wanting Holly and Nicole to both be there. Nicole says if Holly’s doctors say it’s fine then she can come. Holly assures that she can’t wait. Eric says he hasn’t made an official date yet but it will be a small family gathering with a reception at the Brady Pub. Nicole offers to hold the reception here at the DiMera Mansion. Eric feels it’s too much to ask but Nicole insists that she’d love to, especially since he held the date for them. Eric says the Pub is fine but Nicole and Holly disagree. Eric then admits that he doesn’t think Sloan would be on board. Nicole asks if he’s sure, arguing that they are both parenting and working full time so it would be a huge load off for someone else to plan it. Nicole adds that closing the Pub would take away business from Roman. Holly insists it would be really cool to hold it here. Nicole adds that Holly wouldn’t have to leave home while recovering and insists that she would really like to do this for him. Nicole suggests maybe it could help make things right between her and Sloan. Eric then agrees that it’s a great offer and he will let Sloan know.
Tate questions if Sloan thinks this is going to trial. Theresa argues that it cannot go to trial. Sloan says that’s her hope but EJ is district attorney. Sloan says she’s beaten EJ before and negotiated plea deal but this case is personal to him. Tate argues that they just need to get Holly to tell the truth. Sloan says it will be very hard to prove Tate’s innocence unless Holly admits it was her drugs. Theresa encourages going after Holly for that but Tate argues that she is his friend. Theresa questions if a friend would let him go down for a crime he didn’t commit. Sloan says she will pursue every angle but does think they should consider another option which Theresa questions. Sloan suggests she could offer a plea deal which could be a light sentence and before he knows it, he’d be free to go home. Tate argues that he doesn’t want a plea deal or a light sentence because he did nothing wrong and tried to stop Holly from doing drugs.
John and Steve decide it’s time to go. John says he will get the supplies while Steve says he will get the unmarked vehicle to transport Clyde out of prison. Ava says she will meet them at the airfield. Steve reminds John that they need to stop by the office for that special equipment which Ava questions. Steve says it’s everything they need to interrogate Clyde about Tripp and Wendy’s location. John says they will make it look like they are busting Clyde out but Steve reveals they’re not really going to let him go which Ava disagrees with.
Leo dresses up as a rapper and raps the ABCs for Jude. Eric comes home and applauds him. Eric asks if he’s alone and where Sloan is. Leo informs him that she’s out with a client. Eric realizes that Leo is babysitting and reveals that Sloan didn’t tell him that she called Leo or else he would’ve been there. Leo assures Eric that Jude has been fed, burped, and changed. Jude laughs which Eric acknowledges as Leo says they’ve had a connection ever since he came in to his life. Leo tells Eric that he has a special baby boy.
Nicole and Holly plan the reception for Jude’s Christening. Holly says she will be in charge of music, joking about Nicole being a Billy Joel fan. Nicole says it will be so great to have a celebration since there’s been so much sadness lately. Nicole talks about Eric’s pictures of Jude being adorable. Holly tells her to try not to go there. Nicole says sometimes those feelings come flooding back about what happened to her little brother and to Holly. Holly says she’s back now. Nicole cries that she doesn’t know what she would’ve done if she lost her as they hug.
Theresa tells Tate that Sloan went to make a call to get the ball rolling. Tate doesn’t get why they have to plea guilty when he’s innocent. Theresa calls it a tactic to get him out sooner because EJ will drag this out. Tate argues that Holly could come around and tell the truth when she remembers. Theresa says they don’t know if that’s going to happen and they can’t wait around for the possibility so they have to do whatever is best to get him out. Tate questions if Holly even knows where he is or that he was arrested, beat up in jail, and then shoved in to a halfway house. Theresa admits she doesn’t know but she will find out. Sloan then comes back and asks to speak with Theresa. When Theresa steps aside with Sloan, Tate notices that she left her phone behind. Sloan informs Theresa that she will be filing a formal complaint with the judge to try to get EJ removed from the case due to bias and not being objective. Theresa says that would be great. Sloan admits it’s a long shot but there’s a chance. Theresa comments on EJ seeming to have a strong pull with the judges. Sloan says she will need Tate to stay strong and sharp in case this goes to trial.
Ava asks if John and Steve have any idea how insane it is to try and double cross Clyde Weston. Ava questions how Steve could even think of risking Tripp’s safety like this. Steve argues that he’s doing it for Tripp’s safety. Steve asks what if Clyde takes off and doesn’t give Tripp back. Steve says he is not willing to take that risk so they will hold Clyde’s feet to the fire until he gives up Tripp’s location as that’s the only way this is going to work. Ava tells Steve that he’s out of his mind. Ava argues that Clyde is sharp as a tack and knows what he’s doing. Ava brings up Clyde’s track record since being in prison including a police detective being gunned down, the fire at the Horton house, and scattering drugs around town. Steve insists that they know what they are dealing with. Ava reminds him that Clyde has already broken in and could be listening to them right now. John says he swept the place for bugs when they first came in and assure that with their training, no one will follow them. Ava feels that’s not enough. Ava argues that Clyde will find a way to screw them if they don’t do exactly what he wants. Ava worries that if they defy Clyde in any way, he will seek revenge. Ava asks them to please just let Clyde go. Ava declares it’s the price they have to pay to save Tripp. Steve knows Clyde has been doing a number on her lately and she’s been on pins and needles for months but feels she’s not thinking clearly because she’s been under pressure. Steve argues that they can’t let Clyde go after everything he’s done to half the people in town. John agrees that they can’t let Clyde go free and had to alter the plan. Ava accuses them of being in cahoots behind her back. Steve says they will do the plan as they laid out but when they get to the airfield, they will let Clyde know that he will have to let Tripp go or the night will end very bad. John insists that Clyde won’t know what hit him.
Nicole tells Holly that she should be talking to her therapist about this instead of her since Holly’s been through enough as it is. Holly says it’s okay as she knows how hard it’s been and that Nicole has been through a lot too. Nicole talks about watching Holly in a coma every day and not knowing if she would come back to them. Nicole admits she worried about Holly not remembering anything like Abe. Nicole is grateful for all the support from EJ and Eric, saying she really leaned on them. Holly encourages that Nicole is a strong survivor all on her own. Holly states that she’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve and what happened at the party anymore. Nicole understands and says they will leave the past where it belongs.
Theresa tells Sloan that this has been so hard on Tate, emotionally and rough for the whole family Theresa informs Sloan that she fell off the wagon but now she’s committed to her sobriety and all she cares about is being there for her son, so she doesn’t want this to damage him or mess up his future. Sloan relates to her brother Colin being locked up in prison and even though he was guilty, she still wishes she could’ve saved him from the mistakes he made. Sloan can’t guarantee the outcome for Tate but promises to do everything she can to help. Theresa thanks her. Sloan senses that Tate is a good kid and agrees to do everything they can to get him home. Tate then steals Theresa’s phone from the table while they are talking. Theresa tells Tate that she’ll see him tomorrow and let him know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Theresa encourages Tate not to be upset about Holly and to stay positive. Tate assures that he will never give up. Theresa then takes her purse and exits.
Eric talks to Leo about when he was a baby as Sloan then comes home. Sloan starts to explain to Eric but Eric says he understands Leo was babysitting and actually did a great job, getting Jude to smile and laugh. Leo thinks Jude remembers him. Sloan says that’s great but notes that they are both home now so Leo can go and she’ll just pay him but Eric suggests Leo can stick around since they don’t have any plans. Sloan says she’s sure Leo has plans but Leo says he’s free so Sloan decides she’ll get a glass of wine. Eric informs Sloan that Nicole offered to host an after party at the DiMera Mansion as an olive branch. Leo calls Nicole the sweetest and says the DiMera Mansion is the perfect venue.
Ava agrees to do it Steve and John’s way, deciding she just wants her son back and then doesn’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. Steve assures they have everything they need to handle Clyde. John declares that first, they have a prison to break in to. Steve tells Ava that they will be in touch within the hour. Steve and John then exit.
Tate pulls out Theresa’s phone and unlocks it, using his birthday as her password. Tate realizes that he doesn’t know Holly’s number and decides to try social media.
Nicole and Holly continue to plan the reception. Nicole thinks Sloan and Eric will love it and she can’t wait. Nicole says she will go get what they need and tells Holly to text her if she needs anything. Nicole then exits. Holly gets a notification on her phone and questions why Theresa would be sliding in her DMs. Holly says to herself that she has no time for her as she has a party to plan and then exits the room.
