The entire episode centers around a dream Sharon has where her entire family and her old boyfriends advise her to open her heart to love again. Everyone tells Sharon Nick is the love of her life and she shouldn’t let him get away again.

We apologize for the quality of the transcripts and for the fact that they’ll often be late. This is because it’s much harder and takes more time for us to get them from Peacock, and they’re not formatted very well. We do the best we can!

Watch full episodes of “Days of Our Lives” on Peacock Premium, and on W Network or Apple TV for Canadian viewers.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

While Johnny and Chanel were in bed together, EJ texted Chanel. EJ texted her because he couldn’t get in touch with Johnny. Johnny checked his phone and realized EJ reached out to him. He found out Holly overdosed. Johnny wanted to go to the hospital. EJ told Rafe that he wanted to be kept informed about Tate’s arraignment. Rafe asked about Holly’s condition. EJ told him she had another seizure. Rafe suggested he be with Nicole. EJ said she was with Eric. Johnny showed up at the hospital and wanted to know about Holly. EJ said it wasn’t a good time to see her. Johnny thought it was strange of EJ to stand by and allow Nicole to be with Eric. EJ said he had to take care of things. He was convinced Tate had something to do with it and was determined to keep Holly away from him. Johnny said Holly got drunk on Christmas Eve, but EJ thought Tate was responsible for what happened. Theresa was grateful that Justin came to help Tate. Alex showed up and said the arraignment was scheduled soon. Alex said they needed a ruthless and high-powered attorney to help Tate. Theresa said she appreciated Alex’s help, but she and Brady trusted Justin to handle the case. Justin said he would have a consultant attorney on call.

Tate told Brady he didn’t want him taking the blame for something he didn’t do which was why he told the truth. Brady said he couldn’t handle it by himself. He said EJ wanted Tate’s blood. Tate said he wanted to fight his own battle. John brought Tate a suit for the arraignment. He told Brady to remain optimistic. Tate apologized for not calling for help when he found Holly unconscious. Brady said he didn’t think Tate would get justice with EJ as the D.A. Justin assured everyone that there was little evidence against Tate. He said Tate would plead not guilty at the arraignment and the judge would set a trial date and bail. Justin said Tate would be released into parental supervision since he was a minor. He thought Brady would assume parental responsibility for Tate. Justin said he would go to the hearing alone. Alex asked Theresa if Tate was innocent. She said she was sure her son didn’t do drugs. John and Brady went to the park. Brady was convinced that he might have hurt Tate’s case by taking the blame. It made it look as if Tate was trying to hide something. John said he was trying to protect his son. Brady questioned if Tate followed in his and Theresa’s footsteps and got involved in drugs. John said his instincts told him Tate was innocent. When everyone went back to the police station, Tate told them he made bail. Later on, Tate found out the judge changed the decision and revoked bail.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chance: Good morning.

Sharon and summer: Chance.

Sharon: Good morning.

Chance: What did I just walk in on?

Summer: Nothing. Nothing. We were talking about marchetti’s new fashion line that’s coming out soon. Uh, speaking of marchetti, I gotta get to work or else I’ll be late for a meeting.

Chance: Well, I, uh, I have a feeling that conversation wasn’t about fashion, was it.

Sharon: Why would you say that?

Chance: Well, I might not be a cop anymore, but I’m still enough of a detective to suspect that you guys were talking about me.

Claire: Victoria, how long have you been here?

Victoria: Not that long. How are you feeling?

Claire: I’m not sure how to answer that.

Nikki: Claire! What– what’s going on? Where am I? Oh, my god. No. No. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it! Get out of my head.

Audra: Nikki. Are you all right?

Sharon: Actually, we were talking about you. We were just singing your praises, talking about how handsome and charming you are.

Chance: Oh, yeah? Is that why you guys got real quiet and had some guilty looks on your face when I walked in?

Sharon: Well, we didn’t wanna feed any more fuel to that enormous ego of yours.

Chance: Mm. So, that’s your story? That’s what you’re sticking with?

Sharon: What? You don’t believe me?

Chance: No, I just got a totally different vibe when I walked in. Hey, I can take a hint. None of my business. I do appreciate the flattering cover story. Please feel free to tell me lies like that anytime you want.

Audra: Please don’t think I am being intrusive, but I know a little bit about your history, so I think I might have some idea of what you’re going through.

Nikki: Do you now?

Audra: You know, fighting alcoholism, it’s a never-ending war of temptation and willpower. I know how stress and trauma can have an effect on your ongoing fight.

Nikki: And how would you know this?

Audra: I lived on the battlefield with my father for a very, very long time. Until he lost the war.

Nikki: Oh, I’m so sorry. To lose your father in such a painful way.

Audra: He tried. We both did.

Nikki: It must be difficult sharing something so private from your past.

Audra: Yeah. I don’t want to make this about me. My point is that I understand if that’s part of what you’re going through. I know how difficult it can be. You know, the guilt, the fear, and the toll that can take on you and your family. So, if you ever need someone to talk to…

Claire: You brought me books?

Victoria: Yeah, I did. A couple of my favorites.

Claire: Were you reading to me from them when I was sleeping?

Victoria: No. No, I was just talking. It’s just an excuse to sit by you for a little while and ramble a bit. Or maybe if you heard my voice and you were dreaming, maybe that would bring you out of any nightmare you might be having.

Claire: Nothing can stop the nightmares. They’re waiting for me every time I close my eyes. Sometimes, even when I’m awake.

Victoria: So, is there anything you would want to talk about?

Claire: I was dreaming about the cabin. When nikki and jordan were fighting. In the dream, I– I shot my aunt and I killed her. In real life, I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t pull the trigger, but in the dream, it felt like I had no choice. Like it was all up to me to stop her.

Victoria: I’m so sorry that that’s what you have to go through when you’re trying to rest, but it does make sense.

Claire: That I become a killer?

Victoria: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not that. It’s just that maybe you– in your– your mind is trying to kill your connection to your aunt jordan, so that her hold over your life will be gone for good. Like sort of a release. It could be a positive sign.

Claire: Then, why do I feel so guilty about it?

Victoria: I don’t know. I imagine that you feel guilty about everything that’s happened. And it’s seeping into your dreams. But maybe this is your mind’s way of letting go. Getting beyond all the pain and the hurt. This is something that you could bring up at your next therapy session if you wanted to. I talked to your doctors. They’re really ready to help you. Have you had a chance to share anything with them yet? Are you starting to feel more comfortable here?

Claire: The only thing I feel is more and more frightened.

Summer: I still can’t believe that sally did all of this.

Daniel: Yeah. Is that your way of saying that you like it?

Summer: Well, you know, I’m, um, I’m just surprised, that’s all. It’s really modern, but still warm and inviting.

Daniel: Oh. Is that why you came over here? So you could critique my decor ’cause you know you saw all of this at christmas.

Summer: No, I, well, I wanted to say hi to you. I just, you know, I wanted to see you. I want to see lucy. I want to see how you guys were doing and how the break was going. If you guys are bonding and you know, doing winter activities.

Daniel: Okay. Okay, stop. Stop. What’s really going on?

Summer: Daniel, I just need a sane person to talk to. That’s it. And I– I just– I can’t talk to mom because I already know what her advice is. And it just– it doesn’t help me at all.

Daniel: Okay. So this is about chance, right?

Summer: Are you serious right now? Does everybody in this town know what I’m feeling without me saying it. I mean god, it’s embarrassing.

Daniel: No, I doubt everyone knows.

Summer: Oh, nice. So, you’re saying that most– most people know? Cool, cool. Yeah. You know what? That makes me feel a lot better. You’re the best brother ever. Thank you.

Daniel: You’re welcome.

Summer: I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know what I’m doing. I– I– I mean, I– I am a ceo. I’m a– I’m a mom. I– I do deals. I handle contracts. I help with school craft projects. I’m busy. I don’t have time for this. I don’t have time to be tied in knots over some guy, especially not one that’s involved with somebody else.

Daniel: Well, if you’re looking for advice, you’re asking the wrong person because I don’t know what to tell you. I’m a little busy being tied up with my own emotional mess.

Summer: Your emotional mess? What does that mean? What’s going on with you? I mean, is it lily?

Daniel: You know, I’d rather not talk about it right now.

Summer: Really? ‘Cause I think that you do wanna talk about it because you were the one that brought it up. Come on, daniel. What else are siblings for? This, this right here, it’s a safe space.

Daniel: I think that heather might be trying to start something up between us. Romantically.

Summer: Oh.

Victoria: Claire, you’re safe now. There’s nothing to be afraid of anymore. Know jordan is never coming back for you.

Claire: Just the thought of her terrifies me. But there’s so much more that scares me. This place. My life. My thoughts and my feelings. Everything about me. I’ll never escape my past. And the nightmares, I feel like I’m never really gonna sleep again. And I’ll never feel normal. I’ll never feel safe.

Victoria: I know. I know it feels that way now. And sometimes, when you’re hurting, it’s hard to see past the pain. It feels like it’s gonna be like this forever, but it’s not going to be. You just need some time and rest and therapy. And cole and i will be here for you.

Claire: How? How could you? How is that even possible? My entire existence has been about hating the newmans. About getting back at you for what I thought you had done to me. Never in a million years did I imagine that my mom, my real mom, would be sitting here at my bedside, trying to make sure that I’m okay. This wasn’t part of the plan. And I– I don’t know what comes next. And I don’t know if I’m strong enough to face whatever that is.

Victoria: What? No. You have survived so much already. I know it doesn’t feel like it, but you have. And you know what? That strength, that means that you’re gonna get through to the other side of everything you’ve been through.

Claire: But I’m so tired and it’s so hard and I hate the therapy sessions. I dread them. I don’t like talking about jordan. I don’t like talking about my childhood, or the lake house, or the cabin. I just– I wish I could just forget it all. Erase it from my brain. Erase my entire life.

Victoria: Well, I understand that. But what happened happened. And I mean, you can’t change it. You know, you just have to accept it and understand that it’s not your fault. And you can have a normal life. You can get stronger and better. Even if you don’t believe it. You will find real happiness again, I know it.

Claire: What if I don’t deserve happiness? What if I don’t even deserve to get better?

Audra: Look, I don’t mean to push or prod, but I have been to many al-anon meetings, so I understand the process. I spent what felt like a lifetime recognizing the signs of someone trying to cover their urge to drink.

Nikki: Well, it’s very kind of you to try to reach out, but you have misread the situation.

Audra: Have I?

Nikki: My family and I have just been through a very traumatic experience and we are dealing witit as best we can, together. So you needn’t worry, we will be fine. Thank you for your concern.

Audra: Understood.

Victoria: Claire, of course, you deserve to get better. You deserve happiness. You’ve deserved it your entire life. Jordan took that away from you, so now we’re gonna take it back. And doing that means you cannot blame yourself for what happened. You were emotionally manipulated. You were– in the worst possible way.

Claire: Even so, I’m not a child. I know better. I know the difference between right and wrong. Kidnapping, poisoning, attempted murder. I followed jordan’s directions. I stood beside her. I could have called someone. I could have done something, but I didn’T. I went along with it all, willingly. What I did was wrong in a million ways.

Victoria: Okay. Yes, that’s true, but what choice did you have? I mean, come on, really? Jordan raised you to– to rely on her. To trust and to respect her. She groomed you to do those things.

Claire: She is still locked up, right? She hasn’t been released on bail or anything like that, has she?

Victoria: Yes. No, she is still in custody. And I hope she spends the rest of her miserable life there.

Claire: But what happens if she gets out somehow?

Victoria: I promise you, I’m not gonna let that happen. She is going to pay for what she did for the rest of her life. Far away from you and locked up away from the rest of us.

Claire: Us? How can you be so supportive? How can you be so comforting? How can you even stand to look at me?

Nikki: Well, um, I would like a sparkling water with lime, please. Thank you.

Daniel: Wow. Nothing? Really? Well, you know, I’m gonna take it from your reaction or I guess I should probably say your nonreaction that you do think it’s a possibility that heather might want something more than a friendship.

Summer: Daniel, why wouldn’t she want to rekindle things?

Daniel: Why would she?

Summer: I don’t know. To be happy again? To be in love? To put her family back together like she probably feels it always should have been? Don’t you kind of want to see if there’s still a spark between you two?

Daniel: You know, a lot has happened since savannah. We– we both moved on with new people. Me with lily and heather sees that every single day.

Summer: Yeah, but that doesn’t stop people from feeling their feelings and acting on it.

Daniel: Really? Because it seems to have stopped you from acting on your feelings with chance.

Summer: Chance was never mine to begin with.

Chance: So, how’s the business? All things set on go?

Sharon: It is coming along masterfully, if I do say so myself. The launch is set for next week.

Chance: I’ll get my suit cleaned. If I’m invited, that is?

Sharon: You would be on the vip list, if there were one. What about you? Are you still looking at working at chancellor-winters?

Chance: Yeah, yeah. My grandmother’s very eager for me to come on board. I had a couple of meetings with her about the job and the actual start dates. And I met with billy too who volunteered to be my mentor, of all people, so…

Sharon: Why do you say it like that?

Chance: Well, I don’t think that’s the best idea.

Sharon: Well, billy, you know, he has a lot of experience in the corporate world. He’s worked in the c-suites of the most prestigious corporations in this town.

Chance: That’s a good point. Still, I don’t know, I just don’t think I want his particular brand of business sense influencing how I approach this, you know? From what I hear, he’s not the guy I need to be taking advice from right off the bat.

Sharon: Speaking of right off the bat influences, um, I have a question for you.

Chance: Okay. Ask away.

Sharon: If you and I weren’t dating and summer asked you out, would you be interested? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks… choose stelara from the start… and mo ve toward relief after the first dose… with injections every two months.

Summer: The difference is, chance and I, we have zero history together. We haven’t even been on a date. You and heather, you were happy together for a long time. And honestly, if you hadn’t screwed up, you would probably still be together now.

Daniel: Yeah. No, I know that. And I kicked myself for a long time thinking about what I did. I mean, do you want the same thing for yourself? If– if you really like chance, are you willing to just pass this opportunity up?

Summer: Look, yes, I’m interested in chance, but what I’m not going to do is chase after him when he’s still hanging out with sharon. I don’t even know if we would be compatible as a couple.

Daniel: Yeah. I mean, you’re right. You know, our situations are different. I just– I feel like heather should respect that I’m in a new place emotionally now. You know, we have both moved on with new people. And just because her relationship didn’t work out, lily and I, we’re doing just fine.

Summer: Well, have you told heather that?

Daniel: Absolutely.

Summer: Okay. Well, then give her a second. Let it sink in. Just because she made a move once doesn’t mean she’ll do it again.

Daniel: You think so?

Summer: Yes. If you actually told her that you’re not interested in going back, then I do think that she’ll accept it. As long as you’re not sending mixed messages, then you’re good. And that is why I am not gonna make a move on chance because I know the situation. I know that he is still doing whatever he’s doing with sharon.

Daniel: Yeah, you keep coming back to that.

Summer: To what? What? What?

Daniel: It just– it sounds to me like you’re making an excuse for why you can’t make a move on this guy that you really like. Look, let me guess. You talked to mom. What did mom say? Go for it? If you want it to do whatever it takes, right? Something like that?

Summer: Hm. You know our mom.

Daniel: Okay. So, it sounds like you want a second opinion, but I guess the question is, are you hoping that I’m gonna contradict what she told you? Or are you maybe secretly hoping that I’m going back up the advice that she gave you.

Chance: Where did that come from, hm? This have something to do with what you guys were talking about earlier?

Sharon: It’s just something that I’ve picked up on.

Chance: And what’s that?

Sharon: Well, I noticed that summer was very happy when she went to the concert with you the other night. She enjoyed that so much, she couldn’t stop talking about it. And I think it was more than just the music that she enjoyed.

Chance: Well, I think you might be reading a little too much into that. That was one of summer’s favorite bands.

Sharon: Then, how do you explain the way she lights up when you walk in the room? I think that summer has developed feelings for you.

Chance: And I think you’re reaching a bit, sharon. We’re nothing but friends.

Sharon: All right. Humor me then. If you and I were not going out, would you be interested in dating her?

Chance: I have no idea how to answer that question. I’ve never thought about it.

Sharon: Totally hypothetical.

Chance: Sharon, I have no idea. However, there is something I do know.

Sharon: What’s that?

Chance: That I’m dating you. I like what we have.

Sharon: Then, tell me, just what is it we have?

Nate: Nikki. How are you?

Nikki: Hello, nate.

Nate: I hope you’re not upset with me.

Nikki: Well, you did tell my husband that you thought I was drinking again, so I’m not real thrilled with you.

Nate: Okay. But was I wrong?

Victoria: Look at me, claire. You know something? Looking into your eyes is not difficult for me. It’s not. And supporting you, it’s even easier. And do you want to know why? Because I want what’s best for you. That’s the least that you deserve. Do you know something? The more that I get to know you, the more I’m around you, the more I witness all of this courage and strength that’s inside of you.

Claire: How can i believe that?

Victoria: You can believe it because it’s true. You saved my mother’s life. And for that, I’m gonna be forever grateful. And standing up to your aunt, that– that was a remarkable act of bravery. And you can trust me when I say, I am so proud of you.

Claire: And the lake house? I saw your faces when you looked at me. There was fear and anger. What I did and the way that you felt, it’s always gonna be in the back of my mind. And I can’t imagine it’s not gonna be in the back of yours too.

Victoria: No, it’s not. It’s not gonna be easy to forget, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not being honest with you right now. I have faith in you and the life that you can have. I know– I know that maybe it doesn’t seem that way now, but maybe that’s something that we can work on, together.

Claire: Maybe you can’t see it because the shock hasn’t worn off yet. You just found out that you have a grown daughter who you thought died all those years ago. When you realize that I’m not that sweet, innocent baby that was taken from you, you’ll see who I really am. You’ll realize that there’s– there’s nothing left. Just a horrible, broken person who tortured you and tried to kill you. When that happens, seeing that look in your eyes, it might just kill me.

Victoria: Claire, please don’t say that. Don’t even think it. I swear to you, your father and I would never look at you that way. Never.

Claire: That’s not a promise you can keep because you can’t predict the future.

Victoria: Well, neither can you. Don’t do this. Don’t shut us out. We just found you. I mean, give us a chance to get to know you.

Claire: I’m sorry. It’s too hard. Every time I see you and cole, I just get this– just this knot in the pit of my stomach bracing for when you hate me again. Your baby died. Your baby eve died that day that she was taken from the hospital. Claire is someone else. Angry and alone. Rejected and abandoned and… I don’t know how I get past that.

Victoria: Look, I know it’s not gonna be easy, okay? But you have to know, you have to know that you’re not in this alone. We’re there with you. And we’ll– we’ll get through it, no matter how long it takes. We’ll just– we’ll get through it, together.

Claire: I’m not strong or brave like you think I am. These things that you think I can do, I just– I can’T. You will always be the parents that abandoned me. And I’m always gonna be the person who tortured you and your family.

Victoria: I don’t think that. I don’t think that and neither should you.

Claire: Please, go. And never come back.

Victoria: I should just– I should let you rest. I– I shouldn’t have come by.

Claire: You’re not listening.

Victoria: I should’ve… look, claire, I think we just need to take this one–

Claire: Just go! Leave! Okay? And do not come back! I’m gonna tell them not to let you visit, okay? This is it.

Victoria: Claire, please. Don’t do this. Let me in. Let me– please let me help you through this. Please.

Nate: Nikki, I alerted victor out of nothing other than concern for you. It wasn’t about malice or any kind of retaliation for letting me go from newman. It was just a doctor’s healing instinct. I guess it’s something you never lose.

Nikki: Well, I do appreciate that. Uh, it’s just that we have had a few family difficulties lately. I’m not going to get into details, but suffice it to say that my family is aware and supportive of my journey. And I am concerned about them as well.

Nate: I’m certainly sorry to hear that. Look, if there’s anything I can do–

Nikki: Thank you, but, uh, we will be fine. There’s no need for you to worry any longer. We will take care of it, together.

Nate: Okay. And um, stay strong and take care of yourself.

Summer: I don’t know what kind of advice I want. That’s why I’m here. But I am sick of dancing around it. I’m sick of feeling confused and I’ve tried everything. I’ve tried distracting myself. Like throwing myself into marchetti and focusing on harrison and doing all those things and– every time I see chance, all of the feelings and– and the questions just creep back in.

Daniel: Well, it sounds like you caught yourself a hard case of infatuation.

Summer: And honestly, I can’t help but wonder if it does go both ways.

Daniel: Well, then my next question is, do you have any reason to think that he and sharon are not happy?

Chance: You think something’s going on between summer and me?

Sharon: No. No, of course not. I– I think I know you better than that.

Chance: What is it? Then why all the questions? Do you think I’m developing feelings for summer?

Sharon: Well, I guess I couldn’t blame you if you did. She’s a beautiful, smart, successful woman.

Chance: And so are you. If not more so.

Sharon: Well, thank you for saying that. But this isn’t about me being insecure or jealous.

Chance: Okay. Then, what’s it about? If I didn’t know any better, it almost feels like you’re trying to provoke some kind of response out of me so you can make a move. Is this your sneaky way of ending things between us?

Sharon: No, that is not what I’m doing at all. Trust me, chance, I adore spending time with you. All of that charm and passion rolled into one sexy package.

Chance: You have a pretty sexy package too.

Sharon: But, I have to be honest with you. I’m not really looking for a serious relationship right now. I’ve just been through a lot in the last few years and I finally feel like my life is settling down and I just love the way that it is right now.

Chance: Well, I hope I haven’t given you the impression that I’m pushing for anything because I’m perfectly happy with the way things are.

Sharon: Okay. Good. Because I feel the same way. But, I know you have a big heart to share and I know that your last relationship got cut short, so it would only be natural that you’re still on the path of trying to find that one big love. And the last thing that I wanna do is lead you on or hold you back.

Chance: Hey, stop. I need you to understand that I am right where I want to be, doing exactly what I want to do, with you.

Summer: They seem pretty happy whenever I see them together, but I actually had this very strange conversation with sharon earlier today about all of this.

Daniel: What?

Summer: Yeah. I– I– I don’t want to get into it, but she basically said that– that they’re kind of just hanging out and having fun. And I got the impression that they hadn’t even discussed any type of future together.

Daniel: Wow. I mean, that sounds a lot like where things stand with me and lily.

Summer: Okay. Well, then that’s why heather thought that she could test the waters with you. And you know what? Screw it. I– I’m gonna do the same with chance.

Nikki: These numbers look good. Let finance know the project is approved.

Audra: All right.

Victoria: I’m sorry to interrupt, but I need to speak with my mother, privately.

Audra: Yeah, of course. Excuse me.

Nikki: Hi, darling. Is everything all right? You look– you look a little anxious.

Victoria: First of all, mom, how are you feeling? Are you sure that you’re ready to be back here at work?

Nikki: Well, I thought that I was. I thought the office would be a good distraction.

Victoria: Did something happen?

Nikki: I almost drank earlier. I– I got very overwhelmed and thought that I couldn’t go another moment without it.

Victoria: You said almost.

Nikki: Well, I consider it a small victory that I was able to stop, but victoria, it was so close.

Victoria: Thank god. That really took a lot of courage.

Nikki: Oddly enough, it was nate who pulled me back.

Victoria: Nate? I don’t understand? How did that happen?

Nikki: I ran into him at society. I don’t think he knew I was about to take a drink or maybe he did. I don’t know. Have you had any recent contact with him?

Victoria: No, not with everything that’s been going on. Besides, I don’t think he’s over being angry at me.

Nikki: Well, he didn’t seem angry at all. In fact, he seemed genuinely concerned for my well-being.

Victoria: Well, that’s not surprising. Despite what dad thinks of him, he is a very kind and compassionate man.

Nikki: Darling, what is it?

Victoria: It’s claire. I feel like maybe I’m losing my connection with her before it had a chance to grow. Mom, I’m scared. I’m scared that I might be losing her again, but this time forever.

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

 

B&B logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: I still can’t believe it. I mean, what are the odds that he chooses you as his doctor? In all of L.A.? Do you think he came back here to stir up trouble?

Finn: For thomas.

Steffy: Well, could you think of another reason that he’d bring up emma’s death? Accuse my brother of murder?

Finn: I actually kinda had to pull it out of the guy.

Steffy: Well, when you did, xander didn’t hold back, right? He said that my brother is responsible for emma’s death. But he wasn’t, finn.

Thomas: Sure you don’t wanna change your mind? You’re allowed to reconsider. But not this time.

Hope: I’m sorry.

Thomas: No, I’m not. At least you didn’t throw the ring in my face. I’m serious! I just wanna be with you, so I can wait.

Rj: Hey, luna, can you hand me that sketch? Luna?

Luna: What? Oh. Sorry, I was just thinking about my mom.

Rj: Well, what are you– are you thinking about how the date’s going?

Luna: Look, I realize that bill spencer is not your favorite person.

Rj: Yeah, that’s– that’s putting it mildly.

Luna: Okay. But, my mom hasn’t had a man in her life in a really long time. So, who knows? Maybe bill could be the one.

Rj: The one?

Luna: Who changes her life forever.

Bill: I’m right, aren’t I?

Poppy: About what?

Bill: San francisco. Golden gate music fest. I realize it was a long time ago.

Poppy: Yes, bill. I remember. It was a wonderful night. One that I haven’t forgotten. Or ever will.

Rj: Wow. So, you’re expecting a lot from a first date.

Luna: No. It’s only if bill really does turn out to be the one.

Rj: The– the one who sweeps her mom off her feet?

Luna: Yeah. I mean, stranger things have happened.

Rj: Yeah. Especially when bill spencer’s involved.

Luna: Wait. What do you mean?

Rj: Let’s– let’s just say that he has quite, uh… a history with the ladies.

Luna: Should– should I be worried? Should my mom be?

Bill: I don’t know. I mean, I think that she can handle herself, but I don’t know her that well, so.

Luna: When it comes to my mom and men, I’ve always felt bad that my dad was never in the picture. I mean, not just for me, but… for my mom as well.

Bill: Thank you. So, you do realize I’ve got a million questions.

Poppy: That many?

Bill: All right. Maybe half a million. What’s that?

Poppy: Fortification. For all the intense questioning.

Bill: This is a date, all right? It’s not gonna be a cross examination.

Poppy: I’m joking. Hey, but this is all natural. It is guaranteed to put a smile on my face.

Bill: Fair enough.

Poppy: Can i admit something?

Bill: Sure.

Poppy: I was a little nervous about this date of ours and this will just take the edge off a little, much like your scotch.

Bill: So, back to that night all those years ago.

Poppy: Hm.

Bill: A chance encounter that turned into something more.

Poppy: Well, I don’t wanna put you on the spot, but I never heard from you again. You never called.

Bill: I meant to. I really did. It’s just that… after the festival, it was– it was back to work. Uh, at that time of my life, I was all about building my company into what it is today. You might even call it an obsession. I had no room in my life for anything else. And if that’s– that’s a lame excuse, I know.

Poppy: No, it isn’T. You had a life to live and so did I.

Bill: You’re very sweet to let me off the hook, but I am sorry, poppy. More than you know.

Thomas: You may not be wearing the engagement ring on your finger, but I think it’s wonderful right where it is, next to your heart. It’s kinda where it belongs. And in the mean time, I’ll keep reminding you how happy I can make you.

Hope: I am happy.

Thomas: I know, yeah. I am too, but think about how much happier we’ll be if we were like husband and wife and stuff. I’m not gonna push. I’m sorry. I’m not pushing. Uh, I know that you are not ready to marry me. Yet.

Steffy: Thomas is my brother. You need to support him.

Finn: Baby, I want to, but we can’t just ignore xander’s accusation.

Steffy: Xander isn’t as innocent as you think. He was part of the whole baby beth lie.

Finn: So, you think he’s making his accusations against thomas as payback?

Steffy: That’s exactly what I think. Look, what happened to emma, it was awful, but that accident wasn’t because of my brother.

Finn: So, you believe your brother?

Steffy: Yes. And the police.

Finn: Police?

Steffy: Xander went to the police and the police determined that it was reckless driving. It wasn’t thomas’ fault. Look, I didn’t say anything to you because there was already so many things stacked up against thomas in the past, but thomas didn’t do what xander said. You’re my husband, finn. You need to understand that.

Luna: I think bill seems like a nice enough guy. I know, I know. I know you’re not the biggest fan of him, but he is very successful and larger than life.

Rj: Is that your mom’s type?

Luna: I don’t know what my mom’s type is actually, but if bill and my mom’s paths really did cross years ago like bill thinks, I don’t know. Maybe he is her type after all.

Bill: Li never told you.

Poppy: You saved her from this horrible sheila woman? No, I had no idea. I mean, that’s amazing. My family and I owe you a lot.

Bill: Oh, no, no, no. You don’t owe me at all. The fact is, I owe you an apology. Look, I– I meant what I said. The impact you had on me all those years ago… and– and look at you. That same glowing, effervescent, free-spirited beauty. If I picked up the phone back then, who knows how different our lives could’ve been.

Thomas: I’m sorry that my proposal caught you off guard.

Hope: I hate to disappoint you.

Thomas: You didn’t disappoint me. I get it. You just– you couldn’t accept. You’re not ready to commit to me or to anyone. That’s okay. But when you are, and in the meantime, you’ll know, you’ll always know, that you are the only woman for me.

Steffy: You’re worried about my brother? Well, so am I. But not about what xander said. I’m worried that hope is using him. And if she ends it with thomas, like this could be really devastating for him.

Finn: Yeah, I agree. It could be a breaking point, but as concerned as I am for thomas, I mean, I’m even more concerned for hope. I– I’m sorry, honey, but I still think that thomas has issues. Hope needs to be protected.

Steffy: So, you’re taking hope’s side?

Finn: I’m not taking anyone’s side. Yes, thomas is family. He’s your brother. But, that doesn’t negate or forgive him for what he did to hope. Keeping baby beth from her, perpetuating the lie that she died during child birth. These are cruel things.

Steffy: So many people suffered. Hope suffered. I suffered. Yes, I adopted a child, not knowing it was hope’s baby.

Finn: Yes, exactly. He put you through hell because he didn’t come forward and tell you what he knew. And now, these accusations from xander–

Steffy: That’s exactly what they are. They are accusations. That’s all they are. He’s just trying to get back at thomas because he got axed from forrester, from our family, from thomas.

Finn: He’s convinced that thomas is responsible for emma barber’s death.

Steffy: That is not true. It was a tragic accident. I– I– I can’t believe we’re talking about this again.

Finn: No one in your family mentions it.

Steffy: It doesn’t mean we’re not haunted by it. Look, what happened to emma, it was terrible, but it was an accident. I will tell you it again, thomas is not to blame. It wasn’t his fault. So, drop it, okay? Please, baby, just drop it. I can’T. Woma

Rj: It must’ve been hard growing up without a father. I mean, you said that’s all you’ve ever known, right?

Luna: Yeah, it’s always just my mom and me. I mean, it’s not like my dad was in my life and he walked out on us, never to return.

Rj: Can’t miss what you’ve never known.

Luna: Yeah. Something like that. Though, I do have to confess, when I was younger, I did think about him a lot. Like, who he was.

Rj: Has poppy ever talked about him? Mentioned a name? Nothing?

Luna: Nope. All she’s ever said was that I was made from love.

Bill: So, I was doing a little poking around the forrester creations website.

Poppy: Hm?

Bill: Very impressed with luna.

Poppy: Thank you. I’m really proud of her.

Bill: Well, you should be. She’s making the most of her internship and that speaks well of her.

Poppy: Luna adores fashion. You know, it’s been her dream ever since she was little. To be a part of that world. She worked really hard to get there.

Bill: Well, they’re lucky to have her.

Poppy: Well, I’m just thrilled that she’s happy. Especially since she didn’t have the easiest childhood.

Bill: How’s that?

Poppy: Well, her father wasn’t in her life.

Bill: Oh. I– I’m sorry to hear that. Guy’s gotta be a total jerk.

Poppy: No, he isn’T. He never knew I was pregnant.

Bill: So, luna has no idea who her father is?

Poppy: Mm-mm. Nope.

Bill: But you do?

Poppy: All right. You’re getting kind of personal. We haven’t seen each other in 20 years.

Bill: Ah, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to pry. It’s just that, luna is really exceptional. Any man would be proud to call her his daughter.

Thomas: Hope for the future put on hold didn’t slow me down. What do you think?

Steffy: I think it’s nice.

Thomas: It’s nice. That’s all you have to say? Really?

Steffy: Actually, I have a lot more to say.

Thomas: Oh, no. This isn’t about hope and me, is it?

Steffy: No. It’s about xander. Xander avant.

Hope: Hi. I got your text. You wanted to see me?

Finn: Yeah. Thanks for coming.

Hope: So, I’m going to guess that this is about thomas.

Finn: Yeah. I’m worried more than ever about your involvement with him.

Luna: Imagine, bill spencer, a man from my mom’s past, could possibly be her future. I mean, wouldn’t that be surprising?

Rj: Anything is possible, I suppose.

Luna: Look, I’m not trying to play matchmaker, but if something really came of this and they really hit it off and somehow got involved?

Rj: Luna, it’s their first date and you’re hearing wedding bells. Come on.

Luna: No, no. Stop. Stop. I guess it’s just the romantic in me, but.

Rj: Ah.

Luna: I love happy endings and maybe, bill spencer could be the one to give my mom one, after all this time.

Bill: You are a very beautiful woman.

Poppy: Thank you.

Bill: As beautiful now as you were then. I just remember watching you dancing to the music and you were just so into it. I mean, the look on your face, the way your– your body moved, just so free and uninhibited. It was like nothing else mattered but that moment in time.

Poppy: My life was so different back then. I was so carefree, before I became a mother.

Bill: I still can’t believe you have a daughter luna’s age. I swear, I never forgot about you. In case you’re wondering, I would really like to see you again, poppy.

Thomas: Wow, talk about a small world in a very large city. Wasn’t xander in london?

Steffy: He was in london. Now, he’s back in L.A. He showed up at finn’s office and he freaked out when he found out that I was his wife.

Thomas: Oh, wow. I mean, I guess there’s no surprise there. His tenure at forrester didn’t exactly end well. Dad let him go.

Steffy: Yeah, part of that was because of the whole baby beth lie.

Thomas: Okay, so why are you bringing this up? So, finn saw xander as a patient. It’s no big deal.

Steffy: It is a big deal, thomas. He and emma were close and he hasn’t forgotten about what happened on mulholland. You and I know what happened to emma, it was an accident, but xander doesn’t think that. He told finn that he thinks you’re responsible for emma’s death.

Hope: While I appreciate the concern, finn, it is misplaced. There is nothing to worry about with thomas, as I have told steffy, as I have told everyone else over and over and–

Finn: I realize that and while steffy’s worried about her brother, I’m worried about you.

Hope: Okay, well, that’s– that’s sweet, but it’s unnecessary. I mean, I know better than anyone how much thomas has changed, so.

Finn: Are you sure about that, hope? Because I learned something pretty shocking today.

Hope: About thomas?

Finn: I, um, I saw a new patient and when he saw our wedding photo, he– he freaked out and he couldn’t believe that I was married to steffy forrester.

Hope: Well, I am sure that that was just a mistake or that he’s a fan. I mean, steffy has many fans.

Finn: No, he is not– he is not– he’s definitely not a fan. He’s a former employee of forrester. Does the name xander avant ring any bells?

Hope: You saw xander?

Finn: Yeah, and he made a pretty shocking statement. And I– I told steffy and she seemed to already know and I’m sensing that you do too. And yeah, it goes all the way back to one of the darkest chapters of your life, when your baby was stolen and you and liam thought that she was dead, and look– look, I’m really sorry to be– I’m bringing all this up, but I really wish I didn’t have to. I wish I could just forget what xander told me, but given the things thomas has done in the past… and look, I mean, steffy, she– she believes in thomas. He’s her brother, after all, but when xander accuses thomas of murder, now do you understand why I’m so concerned about you?

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[dramatic music]

Good morning, beautiful.

Good morning.

[sighs] I missed this.

Yeah, me too.

You know, it’s–it’s crazy. There’s a part of me that feels like I never left here.

Maybe our hearts have been here the whole time.

Yeah, maybe.

I’ll have to thank your mom for banning you from coming home last night.

Oh, my God, that was a surprise.

I was more than happy to offer you refuge in my home… and in my bed.

You know, last night, that was a first for me.

It was not.

Not that part.

[giggles] The other thing.

Oh, right.

Mm-hmm.

Yes, the–the other thing.

Hmm.

Mmm.

Oh.

[chuckles] What smells so–so good?

[both chuckle] Oh, turkey sausage, fried eggs and tomatoes, Texas toast. All my favorites. You remembered.

Just made what was in the refrigerator.

Oh. Well, it all looks delicious.

Well. Uh, Paulina… I’m sorry.

Oh, no, you don’t need to be sorry. It isn’t your fault that you don’t– you don’t remember anything.

No, I mean I’m sorry about last night.

Thank you so much for–for coming. I’m–I’m really sorry to have called you on a holiday. I’m just so terrified for Tate.

Don’t apologize. I’m available – for family. And I know Alex is very concerned about both of you.

Yeah, I really appreciate that. I didn’t know if things were OK between us. There was a lot of tension at the Christmas dinner, and I know Alex can be a bit of a–

A bit of a thoughtful guy who brings lattes to the woman who kicked him out of the hospital last night.

[upbeat music] I’m sorry I didn’t bring you one, Da– Justin.

No, I’m fine. I’ve already had my morning coffee.

Good. So what are you doing here anyway?

I called him the minute I heard about Tate.

[phone beeps]

Oh, Tate’s arraignment starts at : a.m.

Oh, great, great. Thank you for taking care of that. But you don’t have to stay. You can go now.

I beg your pardon?

Well, I’m sorry to do this, and I say it with all love and respect. But I’ve hired somebody else to represent Tate.

Your mom and I told you to stay as far away from here as possible, Tate.

I was going to, Dad, but I couldn’t let you take the fall for something that you didn’t do.

And I’m not gonna let you take the fall for something that you didn’t do, either, all right? The cops saw you with those pills, Tate.

How many times do I have to tell you? They weren’t mine.

I know that. I know that. But it looks bad. Holly got those pills from somewhere, and the cops saw you and her at the scene. Son, I know you think you can handle this, but you can’t.

[dramatic music] Son, Holly’s stepfather is the DA. He wants blood. Better mine than yours, OK?

Yeah, but I’ll be tried in juvenile court. You won’t. This is my battle, Dad. Let me fight it.

[door clicks open]

Oh, God.

It’s sounding a little tense in here, gentlemen.

Oh. Dad, things are fine.

Got your suit, kid.

Thanks, Grandpa.

Yeah.

What is this, for the arraignment?

I asked him to bring it.

Wow, you just have this all figured out, don’t you? You are so stubborn. You know that?

Boy, beginning to sound like someone else I know.

[sighs]

I need to be kept up on every detail regarding Tate’s arraignment. Is that clear, Commissioner?

Oh, I am well aware of your concerns about this case, EJ.

I mean it, Rafe. This involves the safety of every citizen in Salem.

Yeah, certainly not a personal vendetta.

What was that?

What? I just said I’ll keep you posted. How’s Holly doing?

She had another seizure a little while ago.

Oh, man, I’m sorry to hear that.

She’s stable now. She was–she was with Nicole at the time, and Nicole hasn’t left her side.

Listen to me, EJ. I promise you that I will give you any updates that I get, OK? Go be with your wife. She needs you.

I would, but Nicole has company right now. She’s with Eric.

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

You hired another lawyer?

Family is not what you need right now, Theresa. What you need is a high-powered criminal attorney who is ruthless. And I’m sorry, that is just not your style.

No, no, ruthless is not my style. Facts are my style. Truth is my style. Fighting for what’s right is my style.

Yeah, and that’s all well and good. Nonetheless, I made some phone calls, and needless to say, I have hired somebody, and I have my resources to get Tate the very best. That’s what’s happening.

No, Alex, that is definitely not what is happening.

[sighs]

[tense music]

We can only move forward now, Brady. Tate is going to be arraigned, and we need to focus. We need to remain optimistic for the best possible outcome under the circumstances here, got it?

Yeah.

It–it looks great, Grandpa. Thank Grandma for me.

Well, you know, she steamed that herself. She wanted you to look your best.

And tell her I’m–tell her I’m sorry I snuck out.

No, you can tell her yourself when you see her.

How’s–how’s Holly doing?

She’s doing about the same.

I– last night when she showed me those drugs, I should have– I should have found you and told you. I just– I’m sorry, Dad.

Well, now that’s a lesson learned, isn’t it, kiddo?

I should have called right away too. When I found her lying out back, I just– I was so afraid of her getting in trouble. I didn’t– I wasn’t– I should have been more afraid that she could die.

You know, speaking of last night, I am a little hungry.

Wait, still?

Yeah. Would you like me to make you some breakfast?

Ooh. How about some biscuits with Southern fried eggs and gravy?

Mm. I was actually thinking a slightly… less ambitious alternative.

Such as?

I don’t know, maybe a… doughnut and some coffee.

What? Come on.

OK, OK, I’m kidding. I’ll make you whatever you like. But first…

[dramatic music] I wouldn’t mind a little dessert for breakfast.

[phone beeps] No, no, don’t do it. Don’t do it.

Mm-hmm, what if it’s Mama?

Hey, aah!

What if it’s Mama?

OK, fine.

[sighs]

It’s your dad. He says he’s been trying to reach you.

I– I left my phone on silent all night. Oh, jeez. Everyone’s been trying to… get ahold of me. Oh, no.

What? What–what happened?

Holly OD’d. I–I got to get to the hospital.

Oh, my God. Here, go. Go.

Paulina…

[dramatic music] I want you to understand. I felt it would be wrong for us to be intimate when I just don’t remember what we had.

[sighs] I understand.

Well, so you’re not upset?

I promise I won’t hold it against you.

[sighs]

[chuckles]

Now, just to be clear…

[chuckles]

I do love the woman I’m getting to know.

Oh.

[both chuckle]

[both smooch]

Oh, my gosh, I am so sorry. Should I leave you guys alone?

[sighs] Look, Alex, I really appreciate you wanting the best for us, but we have that with Justin. And he knows Tate.

And the attorney that I hired will get to know Tate too. More importantly, he knows how to rip apart the prosecution’s case.

So does Justin. What–what–what is this? Does this have to do with the silliness that happened at dinner the other night?

No, Theresa, no, not at all. It’s ouzo under the bridge.

What is the problem, then? Because Brady and I trust Justin. And so does Tate, and he does not trust easily. You know what? I–I don’t–I don’t know what–what this is. I–I don’t–I don’t care, because he is– he’s gonna be dealing with this case, period.

[sighs]

Thank you, Theresa. I appreciate the vote of confidence. But if it would satisfy Alex, I am open to having a consulting lawyer on call.

Thank you.

Yeah, well, that might not be such a bad idea.

OK, see, that’s not good news. Now the cops are telling us that we even have to lawyer up more.

Well, it’s no secret that EJ’s out for blood. He’s got an ax to grind with Tate. But punishing that kid, especially if he’s innocent, that is not gonna help anyone, least of all Holly or Nicole.

All right, kiddo, here’s the road map. First, you’re gonna stop blaming yourself. Number one, it’s not gonna do any good. Number two, it’s not gonna change a damn thing. You got it? All right. Now, you pull yourself together and get in your suit. Your dad and I will be right outside, OK? OK.

[sighs] I really wish that you had–

We’re done here. We’re–we’re done here. Let’s just give him some space here. Hey, I know you’re trying to help him. But Tate has to man up and do this himself right now. He needs to know that we trust the judicial system is gonna work for him.

Dad, Dad, Dad, the judicial system, really? With EJ as DA? You are fooling yourself. There’s no way that my poor kid is gonna get justice.

[elevator bell dings]

Dad. Hey, how’s Holly? Why are you out here? Shouldn’t you be in there with her?

It’s–it’s–it’s not a good time, son.

Is she–

She’s alive. She’s just–she’s in a coma.

OK, well, can I go see her?

As I said, it’s not a good time.

Why not?

Nicole is in there, and she’s with Eric.

Chanel, silly child, get on over here.

[chuckles]

I am so sorry I interrupted.

You didn’t interrupt anything.

[chuckles] We were just having a lovely breakfast that Abe made for me.

Mm.

Well, I’m going to go get dressed, so if you ladies will excuse me.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

[both chuckle]

Happy New Year.

Yeah.

[sighs]

So…it looks like last night went well.

Mm. Mostly, yes. Abe and I had a long talk, and I told him about… everything. I mean, about my medical condition.

Oh. Oh, really? Mama, I am so glad you told him about it. How did he respond?

Oh, how do you think? He’s Abe Carver. He was supportive and caring, said he’d be there for me. And I said I didn’t want him to, and he said, too bad.

Yeah, that sounds like Abe.

And–and then… he–he told me he loves me.

Oh, Mama, that is so wonderful. OK, and then now he’s still here in his pajamas.

I dug up those PJs from the back of a drawer. We slept in separate beds.

Oh. OK, I might regret asking this, but why?

Oh, you know. Well, he lost his memory. I’m here. He’s there, blah, blah, blah. So it wasn’t the right time. But, you know, we talked this morning, and we’re in a better place now.

Good. I’m glad.

[sighs] So… how was your New Year’s Eve? Where’d you go after the party?

[dramatic music]

Oh, I… just went back to Johnny’s place.

[door clicks open] Thanks for lending me your shirt.

Suddenly that shirt is my all-time favorite.

[chuckles]

[sighs] So… now what? What should we do?

I don’t know, anything… everything.

[sighs] I can’t believe it’s been two years since we were together.

Two long years.

You know, it’s– it’s funny. We were married, so… why am I so nervous?

Hey, hey. You never have to be nervous around me. OK? You know what? I am…a little hungry.

Now?

Yeah, so it’s a good thing that while you were in the bathroom, I went downstairs… and brought up a little snack.

[laughs] You’re gonna eat that out the can?

No, not eat it out of the can. I am going to eat it… off of you.

Yeah, well, let’s just say our New Year’s was pretty…sweet.

Theresa, you let Tate get out of the house so he could come down here and confess? What were you thinking, huh?

I did not let him get out. He snuck out. Marlena and I thought that he was in his bed sleeping.

Well, that’s great. You know, if he would have just gone back to boarding school like I wanted him to, none of this would be happening to the poor kid.

Oh, really? Well, you’re the one who let him decide on what he wanted to do, Mr. Big Stuff. And he decides to stay, and you blame me?

OK, OK, listen. We–Tate needs all of us on the same side here.

I know.

[sighs]

Like that’s gonna happen. But for the record, I’m on her side.

Yeah, shocker.

Let’s just focus on–on–on Tate here. What’s the outlook?

Well, actually, I’m optimistic after reading the police report. I mean, there’s very little concrete evidence against him. So this arraignment this morning will be quick. Tate will plead not guilty to the charges. Then the judge will set bail and a trial date. And then, since Tate is a minor, he’ll be released into a parent’s supervision. And I assume that will be you, Brady.

Yes.

All right. So like I said, this hearing is gonna be quick. I suggest that I go into court alone with Tate and the rest of you remain here.

Whoa.

No, I don’t agree with that.

Justin, that’s not a good–

Please! Based on what I just witnessed here, OK, it’ll be for the best, because this judge will not tolerate outbursts of any kind.

So we’re gonna let Justin do his job here, right, everyone?

Yeah.

All right.

I’m ready.

So Nicole is in Holly’s room with Eric, and you’re just…out here?

She’s beside herself with worry. I wasn’t gonna storm in there and pull her out of Eric’s arms.

OK. Well, got to say, that’s a little out of character for you, Dad.

Eric has been in Holly’s life for a long time. He is, of course, a great comfort to her right now. No, what Nicole needs from me in this moment is to take care of business.

Take care of business? What does that mean?

It means she is in there torturing herself for not having seen the signs with Holly earlier, when in reality, it is not her fault in the least. No, this is all on the shoulders of that loser Tate Black.

Whoa. This–this is all Tate’s fault?

Holly never even used drugs until Tate came along.

You sure about that?

Oh, come, now. You’ve met his parents. I guarantee the apple hasn’t fallen far from those rotten trees. No, no, no, that–that– that druggie loser almost killed Holly. I will never let him anywhere near her again.

[dramatic music]

[sighs] This waiting is driving me crazy. I thought this was supposed to be quick, huh?

Yeah, I know. Let’s–let’s go out and get some fresh air. Theresa, let us know when they come back.

[sighs]

[sighs] Theresa, I know I got under your skin last night, and I’m trying very hard not to be that guy, but somebody’s got to say it. Are you sure Tate’s telling the truth?

Of course he is. Look, I know I sound like one of those naive parents. My son would never do that. I know. But he and I have talked many, many, many times before about drugs and alcohol and addiction, both his father and I. We both talked to him about it, and he knows. He would never, ever go down that road.

OK, OK, but did you always do what your parents warned you not to do? I know I didn’t. Kids, they don’t listen. They make their own mistakes, and they learn the hard way.

Alex… I hear what you’re saying. But I can’t go there right now. I just have to believe what my son is telling me.

OK. I’m sorry for being cynical. He’s your son. You know him better than anybody, and if you choose to believe him, so do I. Come over here.

[sighs]

Whoa, chilly out here.

Yeah, it was chilly in there. She should have locked Tate in his room.

Oh, stop it, will you? You both could have handled things a little bit better.

Me? How could I have handled things any better?

Oh. With trying to take the rap? That always works out well, doesn’t it?

I hope I didn’t screw up his case and make him look like he–he was trying to hide something.

Son, everyone knows that you were trying to protect your boy here. That’s what good parents do.

Dad, I– look, I got to say this out loud, or I’m gonna blow up. It’s not possible, is it? After all Theresa and I did to make sure that that kid did not follow in our footsteps, he did not do drugs with Holly, did he? It’s not possible.

You know sometimes kids make mistakes. Now, if–if Tate did do drugs, you, Theresa, and this army that you have as a family will rally around him to make sure that he gets the help he needs. But I’m telling you something, son. My gut says that young man is telling the truth.

I pray you’re right.

How can you be so sure it was Tate that gave Holly the drugs?

Because he’s a little punk. He’s nothing but trouble.

[sighs] OK, look, there’s something I got to tell you, Dad. On Christmas Eve, Holly got drunk while you and Nicole were at Green Mountain.

How do you know? You saw her?

She called me, completely plastered.

How come I didn’t know about this?

Because kids don’t tell their parents everything.

[sighs]

Anyway, I–I rushed over. I tucked her in, made sure she was OK.

And you saw her drunk?

Yes.

[sighs] Damn. Nicole didn’t think it was a good idea to leave Holly alone for her birthday, and it obviously wasn’t.

It’s just, Holly, she was just trying to be supportive, you know, of you and Nicole. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. She didn’t want to be selfish.

[sighs]

After that night, I just–man, I– I could have kept a closer eye on her. You know, I was at that party. I could have at least made sure she was OK.

Don’t–don’t be ridiculous. This is nobody’s fault but Tate’s.

Mm, nothing makes me happier than seeing that smile on your face.

You had a big smile on your face when I walked in on you two this morning. I’m really sorry I interrupted.

Oh, well, don’t be. Things weren’t going any further than that kiss that you walked in on. But you say that you had a sweet night with Johnny? What did you two do?

Oh, we just shared a little… late-night dessert.

[vocalizing]

[sultry music]

* Got to keep * * The dream alive *

[vocalizing] * Keeping the dream alive * * I’m keeping the dream alive * * Keep the dream alive * * Alive *

[vocalizing]

Yeah, and Johnny said that he’d love to have late-night dessert more often.

Mm.

[chuckles] Well, you tell him to be careful. It’s not always such a good idea to eat something rich so late at night.

* Keeping the dream alive *

What? What did I say?

* The dream alive *

Dad, if Holly was drinking and you didn’t know about it, isn’t it possible that she could have been doing other things too?

Holly’s not like that. She’s a good kid.

Good kids do drugs. It happens. OK, look, Tate was there for Holly. I’m the one who told her to lean on Tate. I’m just saying, if you’re gonna be mad at Tate, then you should be mad at me too.

[dramatic music]

[phone ringing]

I have to answer this.

Is there any news?

No, not yet.

Theresa… I’m–I’m sorry for jumping down your throat earlier. It was not your fault that Tate snuck out.

Thank you. Justin’s right. Emotions are really running high right now. Tate, how did it go?

Hey.

I made bail.

He made bail!

He can go home.

Oh, God.

Oh, thank God. Oh, thank God.

Oh, my God, thank God.

See, kid? It’s all right. It’s all right. It’s all right. It’s all right.

Thank you.

Mmm. Abe, that was so good.

Oh, well, thank you.

Mm-hmm. Yup, I’m gonna have to fix that for Johnny but with the biscuits and gravy, you know, how Mama taught you how to make last year. Remember?

But, oh, hey, who needs those added carbs, carbs, carbs?

I’ll have to learn how to make that again.

I’m really sorry, Abe. I am such a dope. I wasn’t thinking.

No, no, I’m just thinking about Holly. I was just wondering how she was doing.

I know. Such a tragedy.

Yeah, Johnny said he’d call. He was supposed to tell me how she’s doing.

Well, I’m sure he’ll call as soon as he can.

No, no, I’m just glad Holly moved on to Tate instead of mooning over Johnny. Oh, at least Tate’s her own age.

Yeah, but did Tate give her the drugs? Because if he did, then he could be in some big trouble.

Oh, I tell you, my heart goes out to Holly. I mean, this drug epidemic is just– just out of control. I mean, people–people are overdosing every day and dying.

I wish I knew how to stop it.

You’re doing the best you can, Mama.

[sighs] You know, when I got the report of another OD this morning, I had no idea it was someone we knew. Oh, this is so close to home.

You know, I better get over to the hospital and– Nicole might need my help.

Oh, you’re a good man, Abe Carver. I’m going to go and call and find out what exactly happened to that girl. Rafe should be able to tell me more by now.

[phone rings]

Hey, Chanel, it’s– it’s me.

Hey. Hey, baby. How’s Holly?

Not good. She’s in a coma. She’s hooked up to all these tubes. She almost died.

Oh–oh, my God. What–what happened?

She OD’d outside the Bistro on the back loading dock right after we left. They had to give her naloxone…twice.

Oh, God. I wish that we would have gone with Tate when he was looking for her.

Yeah, me too.

So–so she was using? Were–were the drugs hers or Tate’s?

I don’t know. You know, nobody knows. My dad sure seems to think Tate is responsible. I just–I left. I told him I’d come back later.

Oh, OK. Well, I–I’m here with Mama and–and Abe, and she shared with me what happened last night.

Interesting. We never got breakfast. Do you want to meet at the pub now?

Yeah, yeah, sure. I’ve already eaten, but I’ll meet you there. And I want to hear more about Holly and Tate. So–so where is Tate now?

[sighs] Not sure. All I know is that my dad is bound and determined to hold Tate responsible for what happened to Holly. He’s furious, enraged, actually. I just–I don’t know, I hope he doesn’t do anything crazy.

[dramatic music]

I know. I know you don’t.

Wow. Well, looks like a New Year’s party in here.

Oh, better than that.

Well, it is, thanks to Justin.

Yeah, congrats again, Dad.

Thanks, Alex.

Yeah, Justin, thank you so much.

Really, it was just the arraignment.

I know, but with EJ in charge, it could have gone wrong. Who knows what could have happened in there?

This is great news, and I’m gonna put on a big lunch for everybody here, especially you, kiddo.

[clicks tongue]

All right. So hey, can we–can we leave and get out of here?

Actually, no. You need to hang here. I got to pick up the release papers from the court. Be right back.

OK.

Tate, you need to get some rest, OK?

[phone ringing]

Yeah, yeah, but right now, I really just want Holly to be OK.

I hear you. Excuse me.

Well, Alex, Theresa, apparently, we’re gonna have a big old lunch over at the house. So I’d love to have you guys come.

Let’s do it. Thanks, man.

Sure.

I’m so relieved…for now.

Me too, yeah. I know we still have to go to trial and everything, but honestly, I just want to get out of here.

I know, I know. Hey, one step at a time. But, buddy, you, you’re coming home. You’re coming home.

[laughter]

I just got a call from the assistant district attorney.

And I just got a call from the judge. He’s reversed his decision, and your bail’s been revoked. Sorry, Tate, you’re not going anywhere. I’ve got to take you back into custody.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door closes ] Curtis. Oh, my goodness.

[ Gasps ] What a wonderful surprise. Honey! What are you doing here? Ringing in the new year with the woman I love. Adam, this is joss’ room. Oh. That’s why the door was locked. We just got back from a new year’s eve party. Looks like you found one, too. Oh, no, no, no. I just — I just had A… I just had one kama– uh, vodka thing. I’m — I’m not sure. Maybe — maybe two. Okay. You better sit down before you fall down. No, just…

[ Groans ]

[ Door closes ] What’s going on, adam? You’re not a drinker. Adam. It’s over, joss. It’s all…over. My parents know the truth about me. Let me get this straight. You think that we — you and I — are gonna work together? Look at it as giving us closure. I think you’ll find it very… satisfying. I look at it as not happening. That ship sailed when you threatened my daughter. We both made mistakes, ava. Yes, I threatened to take avery in the heat of the moment, but as angry and as upset as I was, it was still wrong. Well, thank you for saying that. But you. You thought you killed me. And after a few minutes of calm reflection, you decided to ditch my body and walk away. I was not calm! At all! I was completely panicked! I-I couldn’t even think when I thought that I killed you. I just wanted to stop you from taking my daughter. I didn’t want you dead! Alright, well, that’s something, I guess. Mm? Come on. Our marriage wasn’t all bad, was it? We had our moments.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, we did. We — uh, esme. We were talking about esme, right? And esme — she has no memory, you know? And, um, she’s completely devoted to her son.

My son. Do you think I’d forget that? You know I’m — I’m sorry about that. According to trina, so is esme. Esme will never change. Eventually, she will return to her selfish, spiteful ways. It’s who she is. But if we work together, we can get rid of her before she does any more damage. Just level with me, nikolas. Are you planning to kill esme? Get out of here. You have no place here. There’s a place for everyone in god’s plan. I’m never gonna buy your religious “saved” act. Stop pretending. You are so certain in your judgment, sonny. Have you never been wrong about someone? Not about you, cyrus! Tonight is not the night to be pushing me! Ah. She told you. A-a-at last. What are you talking about? I’m sure nina only did what she felt was right when she reported carly and drew to the sec. Let me start by saying… that I am sorrier than you could ever know. How did you find out? What are you talking about? Okay, carly, t-t-they’re waiting to hear back. I don’t know what — oh. Can you just handle it, please? Whatever you decide, I’m okay with. Are you sure? Yes, I’m sure. Okay. Okay. Alright. Um, nina, l-let me get the door. No. Please, please, please. Can you just listen? Can you just listen? I have something that I need to tell you. I don’t want to keep them waiting. It’s fine. I will handle nina. Are you sure? I’m sure. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Okay. What’s so important, nina? Okay. As you know, I was very angry when willow was dying and I found out that you kept the truth about her being my daughter from me when she needed me the most. Oh, my god, is this why you’re here? Because I cannot do this again. I can’t do this tonight. I can’T. And I was beyond angry, okay? And so I wasn’t considering the conse– what I’m trying to say is that I’m done making excuses. I’m not gonna make excuses to myself. I’m not gonna do it to you. I am not your friend. And I am not your therapist. So, if you have something to say, please say it. I’m the one who tipped off the sec about your insider trading. Well, ace is still asleep, though, right? Great. I will be home right away. Laura, I am so sorry if I worried you. It sounds like a simple miscommunication to me. It happens. Here you go. That should warm you up. Oh, uh… I think you dropped this. Thank you. Um…probably won’t do me much good. I already lost the other one. Do you know where? I do. Wyndemere, when you broke in on christmas eve. I didn’t want to tell you o-or my dad what nina had done to my mom and drew, so I just — I thought it was — I thought it would be best to mitigate the damage. You went behind my back and you interfered with my relationship with my mother? Willow, I was just trying to protect our family. You were manipulating me! No, that’s not what I was trying to do — don’t! Just stop!

[ Gasps ] I mean, I-I don’t know where my relationship with nina was going to go, but instead of letting me make up my own mind, you blackmailed her?! I don’t — I don’t understand. If you were so worried about her influence on our kids, why wouldn’t you tell me the truth?! I’m sorry. You’re the one who called the sec? You’re the reason drew went to pentonville? You took him from his daughter. Well, you kept mine from me. You — drew was almost beaten to death, and you’re still the victim?! Listen. Listen. What I’m trying to say is the emotions were running high back then, okay? There was a lot of hostility. There was a lot of pressure. And I felt like your family’s punching bag, okay? And I reached my breaking point. I snapped and I lashed out. Children lash out! You were trying to get back at me. A-and drew was just collateral damage? I mean, that man has been nothing but decent to you, and you almost got him killed. Well, I didn’t know the judge was going to give him such a harsh sentence. Everyone was shocked by it. That shouldn’t have happened. He shouldn’t have been sitting in the courtroom to begin with, nina! Well, you did commit — he — okay, it doesn’t matter!

[ Shouts indistinctly ] It doesn’t matter! What I’m trying to say is, I know that you will never forgive me. I’m just trying to set the record straight. Why? Sorry? Why?! You were doing just fine keeping your mouth shut. Why? I mean, you had no problem letting everyone believe that ned called the sec. Why? Well, I — I did feel terrible about that. No, not terrible enough to tell the truth. Why tonight, nina? You know, I know you’re not gonna believe me, but the guilt was eating me alive. I regretted all of it. All of it. I just came to a point. I did not — I didn’t know how to fix it.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, god. Really? You don’t feel guilt or regret for anyone but yourself. Oh. You got busted, huh? That’s why you’re here. Who knows? Who knows? Sonny. What do you know about nina? In her time of distress, she also found her way to this place for guidance. I offered her my counsel. There should be no lies between husband and wife. I’m glad my simple truth could help you both. Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

[ Groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] I forgive you, sonny. Fight me back! Come on! God forgives you. Ohh! Come on, cyrus! Fight back! Fight back! Come on!

[ Grunts ] Of course. Is he the reason you came over here? Sonny suggested that I should apologize to you. He is very angry. Can you blame him? You’ve been lying to his face for months. And more importantly, you snitched on his family. I never meant for any of this to happen. You never meant to get caught. You’re not here to make things right. You’re not here to set things straight. You’re here because you don’t want to lose, sonny. No, I’m here because I want to make things right. You are the most selfish person I have ever met. You do nothing but hurt everyone around you, mostly the people you claim to care about. That’s not fair. Fair? You’re gonna talk to me about fair? It’s not fair that drew almost died in prison because you had a temper tantrum. It’s not fair that you get to show up whenever you want with a fake apology, because you want sonny to forgive you. You are nothing but a selfish bitch, and I hope you rot in hell! I won’t le curtis: Eckert’s full store was closed. But this donut window was open all night.

[ Squeals, laughs ] You never have to apologize for eckert’s lemon donuts.

Ahh!

[ Chuckles ] As you can see, I am not offering you any. Uh, yeah, I’ve noticed that.

[ Laughs ] Oh, this is the best. Babe, you’re the best. Well, honey, I got to say, I’m just impressed. There’s not many people that would be so happy to work on new year’S. Well, at least we won’t have to set an alarm. We can sleep in and make up for these late-night donuts. Sleep? Mnh-mnh. I don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep. I’m so excited thinking about your upcoming surgery. I mean, if this works, you could be on the road to walking again. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. That’s the plan. What if it doesn’t work? I don’t want to kill esme. You can see why I’d be the tiniest bit skeptical, though, right? Yes, but I’ll settle for getting her out of my sons’ lives. Is that all? Do you truly think esme is equipped to raise a child?

My child? No. Obviously, I don’T. I just don’t know what you want me to do. What I want from you…

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry. I — I have trouble concentrating when I’m around you. What are you doing?

[ Chuckles ] Remembering the good times.

[ Whispering ] And there were a lot of them. There were a couple.

[ Chuckles ] And those days are over. Is that why you don’t want to help me with esme? Because if we spend too much time together, then you might not be able to resist me? You were at wyndemere on christmas eve, weren’t you? Yes. I-I’m really embarrassed. You know, speaking of warming up, I’m gonna get a little more coffee and let you two speak privately. Thank you. Esme, breaking into wyndemere was dangerous and illegal. What were you doing there? Look, elizabeth baldwin told me that that is where nikolas kept me prisoner last christmas. And I thought that I-if i was there the same time of year, that it might help spark something to help me remember. I see. Look, I’m really sorry that I broke in, but I-I was really cold and… I-I was a little crazy, you know? And I never should have damaged the property. I’ll pay for the broken glass right away. I am sorry you had such a bad night. You should have called me. You can do that. I should have. But thank you for understanding. You’ve always been really good to me. Well, we’re family. And we all have our crazy moments. I’m glad it’s not just me. No. No, it’s not. Did it work? Sorry? Did you remember anything? What did your parents find out about you that was so bad you started pounding kamikazes? They know I lied about the internship I said I was gonna do over winter break. They just kept pushing a-and pushing about why I didn’t come home for the holidays as planned. Somehow, it all just came out. My lousy grades! I was sitting next to you when you got an “a” in organic chemistry. “A” minus is what I got. And there’s no way I can get away with that “b” I got in anatomy, right? Okay. That anatomy class is killer. A “b” in that class is like top of the curve. My parents — they don’t care. They’re threatening

[Breathes deeply] To pull me out of pcu and send me to a local college so I can live at home. They don’t want to waste their money paying for pcu if I’m not performing up to their standards. That’s crazy. That’s why I went to that frat party. I just wanted to forget for a while, you know? My parents were really mad, actually. Why am I such a scrub? I had every intention in exposing nina. I did. I went — I went to my dad first. I was gonna tell him, but… he was just — he was so happy. He was so in love. And I couldn’t do it. And I knew if I couldn’t tell him, I couldn’t tell you.

[ Sighs ] And then I realized, why should either one of you hurt any more because of nina? So I made a deal with her. I-I told her that I’ll keep quiet if she lets me decide when and if she can see you and the kids. You had no right. I-I know that, and, willow, I am — I am sorry. I truly am. But you’ve already been through enough. I’m not gonna apologize for trying to protect you. It is not that. Michael, you didn’t trust that I could protect myself.

[ Scoffs ] I thought we were partners. Oh, willow, we are partners. Neither of us acted like it. I didn’t tell you I had cancer. And you didn’t tell me what nina did. We’re not honest with each other. What kind of marriage is that? What I’m

trying to do,carly, is make things right. Oh, my god. Too little, too late! Drew went to prison because of you. So, you know what? You deserve every bit of payback that’s coming at you. You know, you should be thanking me. All the horrible things that you’ve done to me. I’ve made myself the bad guy for you. You’re welcome. You have no one to blame but yourself. And you coming over here trying to apologize — are you kidding me? There’s no way you’re coming back from this, nina. No way. I know that sonny values loyalty more than anything. Yeah. He sure does. I’m gonna be really clear here. I will never forgive you. Yeah, I know you don’t care. But willow? Your daughter is gonna see that you haven’t changed and that you’re still just as toxic as ever, and you’re never gonna see amelia and wiley.

Ever. I never meant for things to go this far. You never meant to get caught. I mean, come on! Let’s be honest! But you did mean to make me and drew suffer. Suffer how?

[ Keys clatter ]

[ Exhales heavily ] Drew, I’m the one — drew, nina is the one who called the sec. Is that right? I am so sorry about what happened to you. I had no intention for you to go all the way to — yes or no, nina? Are you the one who called the sec? Yes. Well, what am i supposed to do now? I don’t understand. Because I can’t do all the things that I would do if you were a man, right? I can’t — I can’t grab you, and I can’t hit you. But you are vile, nina. And you are the worst kind of hypocrite. Scout told me that she saw you at the halloween party. You were so nice to her. And the whole time, you knew that you put her father away in prison. Well, I had no idea that the judge was gonna be so harsh with your sentencing… and donna and wiley were there, and they have no idea, do they, that you tried to put carly away? But they will. No! Well, of course they will. Why — why shouldn’t they find out that they’re living a lie, that they think that you’re some kind of good and kind person when you’re not? I mean, you don’t even love your kids. Of course I do! No, you love the idea of being a mother and a grandmother. But you could never put your kids’ needs ahead of your own. And that’s what you need to do. Do not tell me how I feel about my daughter or my grandchildren. You guys are standing here like you’re so saintly. You did commit a crime, by the way! Let me remind you that. And you’re the one who set all this in motion anyway. You kept the truth from me about both my daughters, first nelle, then willow. You kept me away from willow for months! I mean… stop! Stop! I can’t handle this tonight. My mom died. Bobbie’s dead? Oh, my god. I’m so sorry. But you just go ahead and you barged in anyway — I didn’t know, drew. You didn’t care. You didn’t care. And you’re not here for me, and you’re not here for drew. You’re here for yourself. And you’ve said everything you needed to say, so get out of my house. Carly, I didn’t know, and I’m so — get the hell out of my house! Get out!

[ Crying ] How do I… how do I live in a world where nina gets to exist, but my mom can’t? Okay. Okay.

Party. Come again? Yeah, an why is she gone? Okay. Don’t flatter yourself. You are quite resistible. Then why are you running away? I’m not running anywhere. Oh, then you’ll help me get to esme? Well, I admit that I would be happier with her out of the picture. That’s great. Now all you have to do is throw a party. Come again? Yeah, and make sure esme’s among the attendees. I’ll get you a full guest list. Why would esme come to a party I throw?

[ Chuckles ] Ava. You have one of the most fertile imaginations I’ve ever known. It’s just one of your many alluring traits. Well, that’s true. But a party? I’m sure you’ll think of a reason to throw one. Who doesn’t love a party? Do you really expect me to believe that you’re not gonna hurt esme? Hand to god. And if you can’t take me at my word, who can you trust? I walked around wyndemere, and… nothing. I don’t remember a single memory. Were you still at wyndemere when I got there? Yeah, I was. I-I panicked and ran out before you saw me. Uh-huh. But you left your glove. It must have fallen out of my pocket or something. I-I’m really sorry. I-it’s kind of hard to explain, but I-I couldn’t risk getting arrested. I didn’t want to miss ace’s first christmas. Yeah. I mean, I understand. I do. I really do. But you broke the law, esme. You’re going to have to turn yourself in. Joss, hi. I’m sorry to disrupt your night, but your mom needs to talk to you. Can you come home? Yeah, of course. Is my mom okay? Yeah. She just, um… she’ll explain everything when you get here, okay? So, drive safe, a-and, um — and we’ll see you soon. Okay. Bye. Uh, that was drew. I have to go. My mom needs to talk to me.

[ Groaning ] I sh– I should go. Stay here. Don’t move.

[ Groans ] Want me to go with you? I can take adam back to his room first. I’m worried about leaving him alone like this in his condition. Will you? I promise. I will keep an eye on him. Thank you. Just text me when you can. I will. Look, we — we both made mistakes, but we — we love each other. We can get through this. Nina’s lies are one thing. But you’re my husband. Yours hurt so much worse. Look, I’m gonna need some time to sift through all of this. Okay. Yeah. Let’s — let’s — let’s go home. Look, I-I’ll do anything, anything I can to make this ri– I want you to sleep somewhere else tonight.

[ Cellphone rings ] Who’s calling at this time of night? Well, answer it. It might be about the kids. It’s drew. Take it. There’s nothing left to say. Not tonight. Willow…

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Sighs ] Hey, drew. What’s going on? The surgery is experimental. There’s no guarantees. If it doesn’t work, are you gonna be upset? Honey, I’m gonna be upset because I know how much you value your independence. But I love you. Honey, I’m gonna love you no matter what. Whether you can walk or not.

[ Sighs ] That’s it. That’s the truth. I do know that. So, how are you feeling about the procedure? I’m trying to not be too hopeful. Honey… I just want to be able to sweep my brilliant, kind, and absolutely beautiful wife off of her feet. You know, you’re doing that now. And carry her to our bedroom, where we make love. You, my love… you sweep me off my feet every single day with that smile.

[ Chuckles ] Mm-hmm. Yep. That’s the one. How is he? The nurse said that he was touch and go in the ambulance. Ah! I should call — no, I’ll make the call. Just go. Okay. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] I-I can’t go to jail. What about ace? I — okay, look. I think that you will be granted bail. You probably won’t even have to stay overnight. I don’t get it. I thought you understood. I — I do, I do. But actions have consequences. But if you turn yourself in and you admit to what you’ve done, you will probably just get some community service, maybe a fine. I should have known better. Yes, you should have. Breaking into wyndemere was a very foolish thing to do. But, esme — esme, look at me. If you take responsibility for what you’ve done, I think you’re gonna feel better. So, look, tomorrow morning we will go down together to the pcpd. Wait. You’re coming with me? Yes, of course I’m gonna go with you, dear. I wouldn’t make you do something so awful all by yourself.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Curtis? Hello? Hey, laura. Um, I hope I’m not bothering you, but you need to get down to the hospital.

It’s about your brother. You know, I never really felt like my parents saw me for who I was. I could have really used a friend like joss back then. It’s weird that… you can relate to my problems. I mean, you seem… you’re so together. Things got a lot better for me when I got out of my parents’ house. How’d you get out? I enlisted. I can’t do that. I’m not saying that you should. I’m just saying there’s a big world out there way beyond your parents’ judgment. You just got to stick with it until you can see it. Things do get better. Really think so? I know so. Any idea what this is about?

[ Sighs ] Only one way to find out. Hey. Thanks for getting here so quickly. Um, hi. Your mom’s in the living room. Go ahead.

[ Door closes ] Mom, what happened? Um…

[ Voice breaking ] It’s about grandma. She passed away. Sonny: You said you’d never lie to me. I know never is a long time. But you cracked pretty quick, didn’t you? And I hated every second that I kept you in the dark. Right. But not enough to come clean, right? Sonny… don’t throw away our life together because of one stupid mistake. I am so sorry. We’re stronger than — stop saying you’re sorry!

[ Door opens ] Sonny? What are you doing in the dark? Where is nina? Gone. Only daisy cottage cheese will do come on. Thank you, dex.

[ Sighs ] Happy new year. What happened? Well…

[ Sighs ] Grandma was staying at uncle luke’s apartment. She went to sleep and she never woke up. She passed away peacefully. She seemed fine when I talked to her on christmas. Yeah. She was happy.

[ Voice breaking ] She was happy. And you two were a big reason why she was.

[ Sighs ] Grandma always had my back, no matter how many times I screwed up. She was our rock. What are we gonna do without her? I don’t know. But we’re gonna get through this together. Come here.

[ All crying ] Curtis. Curtis. Hey, laura. Hey. Hey. Thank you for calling me. Glad I can help. So, what do you know about what happened? The paramedics said that the priest found cyrus at the all saints chapel. He was alone. He’s inside. No, no, I’m — I’m on my way — way home now. I’ll be there in 10.

[ Gasps ]

[ Monitor beeping ] How is he? I got him stabilized. But he hasn’t regained consciousness yet. Who did this to him?

[ Switch clicks ]

[ Gasps ] Hey, sonny. Why don’t you get that hand cleaned up, okay? Sonny, avery can’t see you like that, right?

[ Sniffs, sighs ]

[ Keys jangling ] How’s sonny? Did you tell him the truth about the sec? God, nina. You… I don’t think you should be here. H-he is in a bad way. I know. I just need to talk to him. Just for a minute. I-I told carly and drew everything. I just — I just came from there. If I could just talk… sonny. I…I… I just came…

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Everett told Julie and Chad that Holly overdosed. While they were talking, Everett said Holly was in a coma. Julie said she was concerned about the drugs. Everett said they should investigate to find out what’s going on. He said they should expose the person responsible for the drugs and reveal it to the public. Everett thought it would save lives. Chad wanted to do Everett’s plan. Everett said he had informants willing to talk but it cost money. He said he needed $5,000 in petty cash. Chad didn’t want to give him that much money, but Everett said money was the quickest way to get what they wanted. Everett said he would get the job done. Chad agreed to give him the money. When Everett left, Julie said she was concerned about him. Chad believed Everett would do the job. They talked about missing Abby. Julie asked him to move back in the house and Chad said he would do it. Marlena and Kayla talked about Holly and her condition. While they were talking, Marlena told her Tate was arrested for drug possession. Marlena was worried about what Holly’s situation would do to Nicole. While Eric and Sloan were talking, Marlena called to tell him about Holly. She said he should be there for Nicole. Eric left to go to the hospital. Sloan got an alert that Leo spent money on expensive champagne. She decided to take Jude out.

Sloan went to confront Leo about his spending. She said she didn’t have a lot of money and her credit cards declining would make Eric suspicious. He said he would be making his own money because he had his job back. Leo said he would tell her secret if she didn’t play her cards right. EJ told Stefan that he held him responsible for what happened to Holly. Stefan denied doing anything. He said EJ was responsible because he asked for help, but he denied him. Stefan said EJ should be mad at himself. EJ said he was endangering lives for one person in prison. He wanted one reason not to arrest Stefan. EJ told him to clean up the mess he made, or he would be held accountable for what he did. He said he would never forgive Stefan for hurting his family. Everett showed up while EJ and Stefan were talking. He wanted to ask EJ questions, but EJ didn’t want to answer them. He walked away. While Everett was questioning Stefan, Stefan apologized for what happened on the dock. He said he couldn’t control what goes on there. Stefan said there would be more security there. He denied having anything to do with what happened to Holly. Nicole spent time with Holly. She realized Holly wasn’t happy. Marlena and Kayla showed. Kayla told Nicole about Holly’s condition.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Chad and Julie are awoken at the Horton house by knocking at the door and they answer to see Everett, who tells Chad that he needs to talk to him. Chad asks what the hell is so important. Everett then informs him that Holly Jonas overdosed last night.

Eric watches over baby Jude at home. Sloan joins him and says she slept through the night for the first time since Jude came in to their lives. Eric says he slept well too. They talk about getting used to Jude waking up in the middle of the night. Eric mentions missing that when he thought he and Sarah’s daughter lived, so he wants to cherish the time with Jude. Eric talks about when he came in to Holly’s life and knowing she would do something great with her life. Sloan comments that she’s sure Nicole is very proud. Eric states that Holly is Nicole’s pride and joy.

Nicole sits at Holly’s bedside in her hospital room. Nicole talks about how Holly looked so beautiful and happy the night before going to the party but she was deluding herself because Holly couldn’t have been okay. Nicole talks about feeling sorry for herself and not seeing the signs. Nicole cries for Holly to forgive her.

Kayla sits with Marlena at the hospital and tells her there’s still no change in Holly’s condition which is not a great way to start the new year. Marlena calls it so sad after all that Nicole has been through. Marlena adds that she spoke to John and found out that Tate has been arrested for possession of the drugs that caused Holly’s overdose. Kayla says she’s so sorry. Marlena notes that EJ is determined to prosecute anyone that had anything to do with what happened to Holly. Kayla feels that’s just like EJ to want revenge regardless of the tragedy. Marlena mentions that John talked to Paulina in hopes of being a voice for Tate. Kayla points out it being obvious that the drugs were Holly’s while Marlena notes that Tate panicked and didn’t call for help sooner. Kayla acknowledges that delay could have affected the severity of Holly’s condition. Marlena can’t imagine what’s going to happen if Nicole loses Holly and doesn’t know how she would go on. Kayla asks how Tate would go on if he thinks he might be responsible.

Stefan stands outside the Bistro, wondering how the hell he ended up here. EJ appears and accuses Stefan of doing this to Holly. Stefan tells EJ to back off as he didn’t do a damn thing to her. EJ argues that when Stefan got involved with Ava, it destroyed what humanity he had left. EJ blames Stefan for the fact that Holly might not see another day. Stefan shouts that his hands are clean and if it’s anyone’s fault, it’s EJ’s. EJ argues that Holly overdosed on Stefan’s drugs. Stefan reminds EJ that he begged him for help but he turned his back on him when he was the one person who could have helped him get rid of Clyde. Stefan tells EJ to look in the mirror if he wants to be mad at somebody.

Kayla and Marlena join Nicole in Holly’s hospital room. Kayla informs Nicole that the drugs are out of Holly’s system and they have strong brain function but she has to stay on the ventilator and it’s a bit of a waiting game now. Marlena tells Nicole that she can’t imagine how difficult this must be for her. Nicole acknowledges that it’s difficult for EJ too as he loves Holly so much and he’s determined to make someone pay for what happened. Nicole knows right now that someone is Tate and tells Marlena that she’s sorry. Marlena says she is sorry too since Tate was never involved with drugs or even drank after what he saw of his own parents addiction. Nicole never thought Holly would use drugs either but guesses she wasn’t paying close enough attention. Nicole acknowledges that Holly got drunk on Christmas Eve, but thought that was only to escape the grief of losing her brother and thought it was a one time thing. Nicole didn’t think it was a big deal and cries that she feels so guilty because she let her own grief consume her and now her precious daughter was just an afterthought. Marlena encourages Nicole not to be hard on herself as that just makes it more difficult. Nicole responds that she doesn’t care if it’s difficult for her or about herself at all anymore as she just cares about her daughter. Kayla reminds Nicole that she is important and needs to stay strong for her daughter as she hugs her. Marlena steps out to make a call.

Sloan and Eric talk about their baby growing until Eric gets a call from Marlena. Eric wishes her a Happy New Year but Marlena says she’s calling with bad news. Marlena informs Eric that Holly overdosed last night and is in a coma. Marlena knows how much Holly means to Eric and says she’s sorry to pull him away from his family right now, but she thinks Holly and Nicole need him right now. Eric says he’ll be right there and hangs up. Eric then informs Sloan that Holly overdosed so he has to get to the hospital and rushes to get ready. Sloan asks if they know Holly’s condition yet. Eric says no and he’ll call her as soon as he can. Sloan assumes EJ will be there too. Eric doesn’t know but says he just has to get there because Holly’s like a daughter to him. Eric repeats that he’ll call her as soon as he can and rushes out. Sloan then gets a credit card alert on her phone, asking if she authorized a $1200 bottle of champagne. Sloan angrily tells Jude that they are going on a field trip.

Nicole asks Kayla if she thinks it helps when she talks to Holly and if she can hear her. Kayla says definitely and suggests Nicole continue talking to her while she goes to check on the test results. Kayla adds that there are nurses outside if she needs anything. Nicole thanks Kayla as she exits. Nicole sits with Holly and talks about her birth.

Kayla runs in to Marlena, who tells her that she just texted John and called Eric about Holly, so Eric is on his way. Kayla hopes that EJ is okay with that because the last thing Nicole needs is a confrontation between them. Marlena says that EJ obviously wants to prosecute Tate, but she hopes that Eric can be a help and comfort since he was Holly’s stepfather, so she knows he’d want to be there for her and Nicole.

EJ questions Stefan blaming him for this when it was Stefan’s decision to let Clyde call the shots which he had nothing to do. Stefan shouts that he did that to prevent Gabi from being further injured or killed. EJ complains that it doesn’t change the fact that he’s still running opioid laced drugs out of the Bistro. EJ screams that the poison might have gotten his stepdaughter killed. EJ accuses Stefan of endangering the lives of thousands of people including children, all to protect one person who is in prison for murder. EJ asks Stefan for one good reason not to have him arrested right now.

Chad asks what else Everett knows. Everett informs Chad and Julie that Holly overdosed at the Bistro party and was rushed to the hospital emergency room. Julie asks if she’s going to make it. Everett wishes he knew but says he only knows that she’s in a coma. Julie asks what is happening in Salem and where all these drugs are coming from. Everett says it’s getting worse by the minute and apparently the police are stumped by the drug ring. Everett declares that they need to get to the bottom of this, expose the players, and bust this story wide open.

Sloan goes to Leo’s room at the Salem Inn and questions him about the $1200 bottle of champagne. Sloan tells Leo that he can’t keep doing this. Leo points out that she failed to authorize the charge so he had to settle for a subpar bottle so now he has a headache. Sloan warns that he’ll need a bigger bottle of aspirin when she’s done with him.

Everett tells Chad that they both know the reach that the Spectator has and that investigative journalism is the cornerstone of it’s success. Chad says that’s something they agree on. Everett thinks they can also agree that getting this out there can save lives which Chad confirms. Everett takes that as a green light to get started. Chad asks what he needs from him. Everett explains that people might not talk for free so he needs access for a petty cash fund and that $5000 should do it.

Stefan tells EJ that he will implicate him in this entire thing if he arrests him and that won’t be a stretch given EJ’s trafficking history with Clyde. Stefan asks how can EJ not see that they are on the same side in this with a common enemy in Clyde and that EJ is the one person who could help get rid of him, unless he wants Nicole to find out that he could’ve stopped this by not doing a damn thing to get the drugs off the street. EJ says that Stefan doesn’t get to put this on him because everything that happened is because of him. EJ declares that Stefan made his choice and now it’s up to him to clean up the mess on his own. EJ warns that he better do it fast because if he doesn’t, he will take him down.

Eric joins Nicole in Holly’s hospital room. Nicole is surprised to see him. Eric explains that Marlena called him. Nicole says it’s good that he’s there. Eric says she knows he loves Holly and asks what the doctors said. Nicole tells him that Holly is stable and there is brain activity so it’s just a waiting game. Nicole cries that she can’t lose her and talks about Holly being her joy with her whole life ahead of her. Nicole states that she can’t lose another child as her heart can’t take it.

Chad questions Everett asking for $5000. Everett explains that money is basically the only way to get people talk when dealing with criminals if they want the truth and they have to get the drug dealers to talk. Julie questions how they get drug dealers to talk. Everett assures that he can do this, so Chad decides he’s behind him 100% if he’s willing to take the risk for the story.

Stefan asks if EJ does not comprehend the stupidity behind this and says he’s signing Salem’s death warrant if he puts him behind bars. EJ doesn’t think he gives a damn. Stefan declares that they need to make this right for Holly. EJ says Stefan doesn’t get to say that after what he’s done. EJ talks about Nicole being in the hospital next to her comatose child because of the drugs Stefan is running. Stefan shouts about watching Holly get carted off in an ambulance and says his heart is breaking for Holly, Nicole, and EJ because he knows how much they are hurting right now especially after the loss of their son.

Sloan tells Leo that she can’t afford all this expensive crap he keeps buying and it will arouse Eric’s suspicions when her credit card keeps getting rejected. Leo tells Sloan that last night, he was celebrating some very good news and announces that Lady Whistleblower is back so he’s going to have his own money. Leo warns that if Sloan doesn’t play her cards correctly, he will spill her dirty little secrets all over Salem.

Nicole starts talking about how she’s not talking about goodbyes anymore and encourages that Holly is going to come out of this and live her life. Eric says they will pray for that. They start to pray until Holly’s monitors go off and she starts having a seizure, so Eric runs to the door and calls for doctors and nurses to help.

Chad informs Everett that the money has been sent. Everett says he really appreciates it and it looks like he’s on a mission. Everett apologizes for waking them. Julie tells him to forget about that and go save some lives. Chad wishes him luck as Everett then exits. Julie hopes the $5000 buys the answers they want, but worries that Everett will be in harm’s way and asks if Chad is concerned about that. Chad thinks Everett can handle that and reveals that in 2006, he covered the Israel war. Julie notes that he must have been very young. Chad confirms that Everett really is a fantastic journalist, so he has a lot of respect for him. Julie calls it admirable to see that as it must have been hard when he walked back in Stephanie’s life. Chad admits that it was, but he adjusted and he and Stephanie aren’t together anymore so he can’t see him as a threat. Chad brings up that the Spectator meant so much to Abigail, so he’s grateful that Everett is on staff, especially now. Chad hopes that Everett telling a story that needs to be told is going to make their city safer for his kids and everyone. Julie responds that Abigail would be so proud and says she is too.

Leo tells Sloan that it’s no surprise that he got his old job back as he was wildly popular, but he’s excited to be busy again. Sloan warns that she’s about to break his heart and sends him a financial fitness app, so now she will decide how much he uses per month. Sloan adds that if she goes broke, his ride ends with no champagne or roof over his head.

EJ asks Stefan how dense he thinks he is and says he sees through him trying to manipulate him by pretending that his heart is breaking for him. EJ argues that Stefan doesn’t give a damn about him and never has. Stefan calls him a cold son of a bitch. EJ tells Stefan that he’s wasting his time if he thinks he’s ever going to forgive him for what he’s done and his part in hurting his family. Everett then shows up and says he’s sorry to interrupt. Everett introduces himself and says he works for the Spectator. Everett asks if EJ has a few minutes for some questions but EJ says he doesn’t and walks away.

Kayla asks Nicole and Eric to step outside as she promises to do everything she can for Holly. Eric hugs Nicole as she prays for Holly to make it. Eric promises that Holly is in good hands as Nicole cries. Marlena comes over so Eric explains that Holly is having a seizure. Kayla comes out and informs them that Holly is stabilized, so she allows them back in.

Everett tells Stefan that he’s sorry for interrupting. Stefan says it was helpful because the conversation was going nowhere. Everett reminds Stefan that they met at the party last night. Everett brings up the uptick in overdoses including one that happened last night and asks if there’s anything Stefan would like to say on the matter. Stefan states that he’s deeply sorry for what happened on his loading dock, but he’s just the business owner and he has no control over people’s desires or what happens out on the dock. Stefan says they will add extra security detail to the property. Everett asks if he can quote him on that. Stefan says sure. Everett asks if he feels responsible in any way for what happened to Holly. Stefan says not one bit but he does feel sad for Holly and Nicole.

Julie tells Chad that the kids are playing board games while Doug is enjoying his coffee and reading. They talk about Abigail having favorite novels and being an avid reader. Chad talks about how sometimes he still suspects Abigail is going to come back. Chad would think the longer she’s gone, the more real her death would be and the more he’d be able to accept it, but it’s the opposite. Chad states that the more time that goes by, the more shocking it is that he’s never going to see her face again. Julie wishes she could say words to comfort him that he hasn’t already heard. Julie encourages that Abigail will always be in his heart and in his children too. Julie talks about Charlotte having Abigail’s smile. Chad feels Thomas has her eyes and sense of humor. Julie says she was going to wait for Doug, but as she gets older, she has no patience. Julie then asks Chad if he would consider moving back in with them and the children. Julie says they love Thomas and Charlotte so much and would love to have them around. Julie points out that if Chad lived here with them, they could take care of the kids while Chad is at work and they’d be glad to share some of that responsibility with him. Julie asks what Chad says. Chad responds that he’s grateful and touched by the offer, so he accepts. Julie calls that wonderful as they hug. Julie understands how shattered he was when he lost Abigail as she was a light to all of them and she knew the most important thing in life is to give and accept love. Julie tells Chad that he has so much life ahead of him because he has so much love to give and receive.

Leo complains about Sloan thinking she can put him on a budget and asks how he knows she’s not doing that for selfish purposes to save money. Sloan insists it’s the truth. Leo brings up Jude being Nicole’s child and not Sloan’s. Sloan warns that if Leo keeps spending her money, it will ruin everything for the both of them. Leo reluctantly gives in and agrees to the budget. Sloan says that means they both continue to get what they want, so they shake hands on a deal.

Kayla tells Eric and Nicole that she is having a specialist look at the tests but Holly is stable now. Nicole asks about the seizure. Kayla calls it common in drug withdrawal but it shouldn’t cause permanent damage and the seizure was very brief. Nicole thanks her. Kayla says if there’s any change, she will be nearby as she then exits. Nicole knows she should feel comfort in what Kayla said, but her baby is still in a coma and she needs her to wake up. Eric encourages that she will and calls Nicole a wonderful, strong mom. Eric declares that he’s here for Nicole and Holly. Nicole thanks him as they hug. EJ then enters the room and sees them.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Steffy: I don’t know what Xander Avant tried to tell you, but I think he’s wrong.

Finn: He– he accused your brother of murder. She was a Forrester intern. Emma Barber.

Steffy: What?

Finn: Wait, do you know about this?

Steffy: I knew that Emma died in a car accident, Finn. It wasn’t murder.

Finn: Well, Xander seems pretty convinced.

Steffy: Oh, my God.

Finn: What aren’t you telling me?

Steffy: Well–

Finn: No, look, I– I understand that Thomas has done a lot of terrible things in the past and even I wouldn’t have thought… murder. Is your brother more dangerous than I realized?


Thomas: You may not be able to wear this ring on your finger just yet. But in the meantime, it’s exactly where it belongs. Right next to your heart.

Hope: Maybe… someday I will say yes. But right now, I just… I’m not ready for that level of commitment, and… I hope you can understand.


Liam: So here’s what I don’t understand… all the restaurants in L.A… Why do you put yourself in a position to run into Sheila?

Bill: Because I want that degenerate to know that I’m keeping tabs on her. Dollar Bill is always watching, just waiting for her to slip up.

Liam: Oh. Nice. Well, it seems like you’re out of luck today because Hollis said that she and Deacon won’t be in, so…

Bill: I’ll give her twice as much grief next time.

Liam: [ Chuckling ] Fair enough.

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Uh, thank you. So, uh, you… you in a rush or something?

Bill: No. Why?

Liam: Because you specifically invited me to drinks, and not dinner, and I’m a little hurt, and I was wondering why.

Bill: Well, you’re gonna be more hurt. I’m kicking you out after.

Liam: Well, what, why, what the hell? What did I do?

Bill: All right, hey, Dad has a date.

Liam: You– you have, you got a– is it anyone I know?

Bill: Not directly, but you do know her nephew who happens to be married to Steffy.


Luna: Mom, this is so exciting. You haven’t been on a date in so long.

Poppy: I know. I’m so out of practice, Luna. Okay. It’s probably just best if I cancel.

Luna: No, no, you can’t do that.

R.J.: Whoa, what’s going on? What are you cancelling?

Luna: Ah, my mom is going on a date with a certain publishing tycoon.

R.J.: No. Is it…

Luna: Yeah, Bill Spencer asked her out.

R.J.: All right. This is my humble opinion. Okay? You shouldn’t walk away from this. You should run, you should run as fast as you possibly can.


R.J.: Did I say that out loud? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. It’s just that I’m not exactly a huge Bill Spencer fan.

Luna: Yeah. Well, shouldn’t my mom get a chance to form her own opinion?

R.J.: Yes. Sure.

Luna: Yes, and the best way to do that is to meet up with him.

R.J.: Okay, but question, how did he get your number?

Poppy: He just tracked me down somehow.

Luna: Okay. So, Bill thinks that they might have met years ago and he just wants to get to know her better. I think it’s sweet. Mom, come, come on, you gotta go on this date, please. Seriously. What do you have to lose?


Bill: Remember me telling you about the woman I met here a few weeks ago?

Liam: Yes. The one you thought you recognized?

Bill: Yeah, I couldn’t shake this feeling that we’d met before. Well, now I’m certain of it. Anyway, she is Finn’s aunt. Her name is Poppy. And I’m looking forward to getting to know her better.


Thomas: I’m not gonna lie. I am disappointed. Not– not that I should be disappointed. I mean, obviously, this proposal, it… caught you off guard. Came out of the blue.

Hope: But it– it was beautiful though, Thomas. I mean, everything you said, and this ring is…

Thomas: Yeah, but you need more time and I understand. And like I said before, uh… it feels like I’ve waited my entire life to be with you. I can wait a little longer.


Finn: Tell me, Steffy, what’s really going on? Is your brother more dangerous than I realized?

Steffy: No. Like you said, my brother has made some terrible choices in the past, things that he regrets, but not murder.

Finn: Yeah, but you don’t seem surprised Xander would think it.

Steffy: Look, there are some things about Xander that you don’t understand. And once I tell you the whole story, I think you’ll realize why he made that accusation.


Poppy: I don’t know, Luna. I mean, this just all seems a bit silly. Getting back into the dating scene?

Luna: What scene? It’s one date with one guy. That’s all there is to it.

Poppy: Okay. True. But is this the one date the one guy that I should be seeing? I mean, R.J. doesn’t seem to like him. Right? That can’t be a good sign.

R.J.: Well, may– maybe she’ll have better luck with him than anyone in my family ever has.

Poppy: None of you like Bill?

R.J.: Um, my– my cousin Will likes him. But he kind of has to like him because he’s his dad, so…

Luna: Oh, my god. Go, please go enjoy yourself. And I don’t know, maybe think of it as like a little mystery to solve.

Poppy: Mystery?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, he said that you guys have met before, and maybe it’s true. So just try to figure it out together. You know, talk about where you’ve lived. The places you’ve been. Who knows? It might be true. You guys really have crossed paths before.

Poppy: All right. All right.

Luna: You’ll go?

Poppy: Yes. I mean, it would be rude to cancel at this point.

Luna: I hope you two figure it out, whatever it is that connects you.


Liam: Thank you.

Bill: Thanks.

Liam: So… [ Chuckles ] The history that you think you share with Finn’s aunt. Tell me her name again.

Bill: Poppy.

Liam: Poppy. Was it…? Uh… did you– did you two…?

Bill: Hey, I don’t kiss and tell.

Liam: Oh, you don’t kiss…

Bill: Sometimes I do. I’m not kissing and telling now.

Liam: All right.

Bill: Now get out of here. Scram.

Liam: I’m going. I know. I knew you were gonna say that. I don’t want to be here anyway. Listen, good luck to you. And, um… I know that your– your love life lately has been less than you deserve. So… I hope this mystery woman brings something new. Maybe even something special to your life.

Bill: Thank you, son.

Liam: See you.


Thomas: I gotta admit, I was feeling a little hopeful about this. I had this image of you taking the ring and sliding it on your finger and this huge ear to ear grin. All this joy on your face.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: Yeah, but you’re not ready yet. And I get that. I do. And I’m happy. It’s right there next to your heart.

Hope: Well, for now. But I do think we should, um, maybe keep this proposal between the two of us. At least until I figure myself out. Besides I was just talking to your dad and your sister about how our relationship should, uh, you know, just stay between the two of us.

Thomas: Yeah. Also your mom would freak.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hope: Yeah, I could think of a few people that wouldn’t be too thrilled about this.

Thomas: Hm. That includes Dr. Finn, Mr. Medicine Man. I don’t think he’s, uh, too fond of me.


Steffy: This is so weird. Xander Avant, randomly your patient. I didn’t even know he was back in Los Angeles.

Finn: I’m pretty sure he’s not gonna be my patient. He didn’t exactly react well to seeing your picture and learning that Thomas is my brother-in-law. Okay. So… you said Xander was involved with what happened with Beth?

Steffy: Not initially, he got pulled into it and then when he learned that Beth was alive… he wanted to tell the truth.

Finn: Oh, let me guess. Your brother told him not to.

Steffy: According to Xander, Thomas threatened him.

Finn: Threatened?

Steffy: We don’t know if that’s true or not, which… the state of mind my brother was in back then, yeah, it probably is true. And that’s–

Finn: Wait, so you’re saying that Xander’s making these accusations, claiming Thomas killed someone as payback?


Luna: Look, I know you’re not the biggest fan of Bill.

R.J.: That’s an understatement.

Luna: Okay. But I’m happy for my mom. Okay? She deserves some attention.

R.J.: Yeah, but it’s negative attention because I know Bill– Bill, he can be… okay. I’ll stop. All right. I– I genuinely hope she has a great time. I really do.

Luna: Yeah, me too.

R.J.: It’s adorable, how much you care about your mom.

Luna: Well, yeah, obviously. I mean, my mom sacrificed so much for me, just… raising me on her own. I often think about how different my life would have been if my father stayed in the picture. Whoever he is.


Bill: Poppy. Thank you for agreeing to join me.

Poppy: Well, after you went to the trouble of finding me.

Bill: How could I not? I couldn’t stop thinking about you. This feeling that we’ve met before, now I’m certain of it. It was years ago. But there’s not a doubt in my mind.


Hope: Why would you… think that about Finn?

Thomas: Yeah. You know, I was speaking to Steffy earlier and I was asking her to support us and our relationship. Um, and I– and I said, if– if she can’t do that, to at least not undermine us.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: And then Finn came in and warned me not to speak like that to my sister.

Hope: Oh, okay. Yikes.

Thomas: I know. Look, I– I– I’m glad that Finn is protective of Steffy, but… I don’t know. I guess for a long time I’ve kind of wondered what Finn thought of me and now he’s making it abundantly clear.

Finn: You know how I feel. I know you can do better than Thomas.


Steffy: Look, it is possible that Xander is trying to get back at Thomas? Make him suffer a bit? But this, this is really irritating. Like spreading lies that he killed Emma, especially after all of this time? I feel terrible about what happened to Emma. She had her whole life ahead of her. It was a tragic accident. She lost control of her car, Finn. She drove off Mulholland; she took the turns too quickly. It wasn’t murder. Thomas did not murder her. So, can you please just get that out of your mind, please? Because I don’t wanna think about this anymore. I really don’t. I really don’t. It was just so much pain and I don’t… no, I don’t wanna talk about it. Xander’s wrong. So, let’s leave it at that.


R.J.: I know it must be strange, never knowing–

Luna: Who my dad is? Yeah. It’s strange. But, I don’t know. It’s also kind of normal. I mean, it’s all I’ve ever known, so… do I wish that he stuck around when I was a kid? Yeah. Sure. But not even for my sake. But more so for my mom. Sometimes, I can’t help but wonder how different her life would have been if he just manned up and made a commitment.


Poppy: I’m curious, what makes you so certain?

Bill: You promise you won’t think I’m a stalker?

Poppy: Well, that depends on what you say next.

Bill: All right. Fair enough. I did a little digging.

Poppy: Into?

Bill: Into you. Your life, your beautiful daughter, Luna. I was looking at pictures of you online. And it all started coming back to me. You really don’t remember?

Poppy: Remember what?

Bill: The Golden Gate Music Fest? Over 20 years ago? You were dancing. So free, so beautiful. Every guy noticing you, including me. I know it was you. You made eye contact. We danced. We talked for hours. It was a very memorable evening. At least it was for me. I haven’t forgotten. And something tells me you haven’t either.


Hope: Try not to worry. Finn is just… concerned about his wife. And as long as you keep showing that you’ve changed. And prove yourself to be the kind, generous, thoughtful man that you are. He’ll come around. Everyone will.

Thomas: Well. There’s only one person that needs to come around. And she already has. It’s you. Um, I believe in us, Hope. I love what we’re building together. And since you didn’t take that ring and throw it in my face, I think that means maybe you feel a little bit like the same. I think we can have a wonderful life together. And think about how ecstatic Douglas would be, right? Take your time. Okay? I’m not going anywhere. My eye will never wander to another woman. Because for me, it’s only you, Hope. Only you.


Steffy: I realize you’ve been concerned about Thomas. So hearing this from Xander is probably the last thing you needed.

Finn: Definitely not something I wanted to find out about my brother-in-law.

Steffy: But I believe in him, Finn. The good man he is.

Finn: The man he’s trying to be now. But back then, Thomas was deeply troubled. I mean, what he put Hope through to try and be a part of her life? Allowing her to think her baby was dead? Then having his own sister fall in love with a child that he knew belonged to someone else?

Steffy: Yeah. It was a horrific time. It took me a very long time to come to a place where I could finally forgive him. And once I realized that he was obsessed with Hope, truly obsessed with her–

Finn: This goes way beyond obsessive behavior, honey. And I look– I’m not gonna presume to diagnose him, but… there was something seriously wrong back then. And no matter how hard he tries to be a better man and the hours and hours of therapy. I just… we need to be cautious around your brother. And– and if you wanna believe in him, I support that. But please, after learning this from Xander, whether it’s unfounded or not. I just– I think… we need to keep our eyes very open.

Steffy: You’re right. I get it and I will. That’s why I’ve been so concerned about Thomas having a relationship with hope. Look, I do believe that he’s healed. I believe that he’s not obsessed with her anymore, but it takes that one thing to just trigger him and I worry about that. I worry about what will happen if… Hope lets him down.

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

[knocking at door]

What the hell is this knocking?

[doorbell ringing]

And the ringing. I’m surprised it didn’t wake up Doug and the kids.

Or the dead.

[knocking at door]

I got it. I got it. I got it. Who is it?

Chad, it’s Everett. I need to talk to you.

What in the hell is so important?

Holly Jonas OD’d last night.

[tense music]

[baby cooing]

Well, look at you, all quiet and happy. You know why that is, don’t you? Because you slept through the night. So if you can keep this thing going, that’d be really helpful. You know that, big guy?

[chuckles]

And I don’t know about you, but I slept through the night too, first time since Jude came into our lives.

Good, I slept well too.

Although, I will admit, I kind of miss him waking up in the middle of the night. You know, it was cute. We’d rock him and get him– give him his bottles, back to sleep.

Yeah, I miss that too, especially with–

Especially with what?

Well, I missed that with Mickey. I mean, she was older than Jude when I came into her life– when I thought she was mine. And she was sick back then. So I just– right now with Jude, I just really want to savor that time.

I understand. How old was Holly when you came into her life?

She was just a little girl when– well, she was just–

[laughs] she was just smart, curious, I mean, even then– back then, you knew that she was gonna do something great with herself.

I’m sure Nicole is really proud.

Yeah. Holly is her pride and joy.

[machine beeping]

You looked so beautiful last night when you went to the party. You seemed so happy.

[sighs] But that was just me deluding myself, wasn’t I? Because you couldn’t have been happy or even OK. I mean, how– honey, how– how did I not see it? How– how– how did I not see the signs? I mean, there must have been signs, right? Oh, I’m just feeling so damn sorry for myself that I didn’t see them. And– and now I– oh, honey. Please forgive me. Oh, god. Please forgive Mommy.

Hey, Marlena.

Oh, hi. Still no change in Holly’s condition?

No, I’m sorry to say, not a great way to start the new year.

It is so sad. After all that Nicole has been through, to have to go through this– oh, I spoke to John. Tate’s been arrested.

What?

Yeah, for possession of the drugs that caused Holly’s overdose.

Oh. I’m so sorry.

I am too. And EJ is determined to prosecute anybody that had anything to do with his stepdaughter.

Isn’t that just like him, just to want revenge even though he’s just compounding the tragedy?

Yeah.

[sighs]

You know, John spoke to Paulina, hoping she might be able to– to do something. And maybe he could even be a voice for Tate.

Well, good for him. But isn’t that just too much “a voice for Tate?” I mean, it is clear that Holly was the one that took the medication that was not prescribed to her.

Yes, that’s true. But then Tate panicked and didn’t call for help soon enough.

And then that delay could have led to the severity of her condition.

Yeah. Mm. You know, talking to Nicole, she– she refers to Holly as her joy. I can’t imagine what’s gonna happen if– if she loses that little girl, especially after losing her son. I just– I don’t even know how she’ll go on.

And how will Tate go on when he thinks he might be responsible?

[sighs]

[sighs] How the hell did I end up here?

You! You did this to her. You did this to my daughter, you son of a bitch!

You need to back off. And I didn’t do a damn thing to your stepdaughter.

The hell you didn’t. When you got involved with Ava Vitali, it obviously destroyed whatever bit of humanity was left. That beautiful, young woman might not live to see another day thanks to your complete lack of conscience!

OK, first of all, you talking to me about a lack of conscience is downright laughable! Secondly, my hands are clean in this. If this is anybody’s fault, it’s yours, brother.

[scoffs]

[soft orchestration] announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “Days of Our Lives.”

My fault?

Yeah.

My fault that Holly OD’d on your drugs. Are you out of your mind?

I asked for your help, remember? I begged you for your help! And you turned your back on me. Damn it, EJ! You are the one person who could help me get rid of Clyde, and you couldn’t be bothered. So if you want to be mad at somebody, look in the mirror!

So all the drugs are out of our system now?

They are, yes. And we have strong brain function.

And– and the ventilator?

Yes, she has to stay on that.

For how long?

Uh, we don’t know yet at the moment. But all I can say, it’s a bit of a waiting game right now.

[machine beeping]

Nicole, I can’t even imagine how difficult this is for you.

It’s difficult for EJ too. He– he also loves Holly so much. And I know he is determined to make someone pay for whatever happened. And I know right now that someone is Tate. And I’m sorry, Marlena.

I am too, especially since Tate was never involved with drugs. He never even drank after the example that he saw of his own parents’ addiction.

Right. Well, I never thought Holly would use drugs either. But I guess I wasn’t paying close enough attention. And you know what? Yes, she did get drunk on Christmas Eve. But I– I just thought that was only to escape the grief that she was feeling for the loss of her brother and the sadness of her mother falling apart. And I– I just thought it was a one-time thing. I– I didn’t– I didn’t think it was a big deal. And I– god, I feel–

[sobs] I just– I feel so guilty because I let my own grief consume me. And now my precious daughter was just an– an afterthought?

Nicole, please don’t be so hard on yourself. You’re just making it more difficult on yourself.

Oh, god. You know what? Now, I don’t care if it’s difficult for me. You know, I don’t– I don’t care about me at all anymore. I just– I just care about my precious daughter. That’s all I care about.

Nicole, you are important. You need to stay strong for your daughter. And when she comes back to us, she’s gonna need you.

Excuse me. I’ve got to make a call.

[sobbing]

I know what they say. It gets better and better as they get older. They walk and they talk, but I–

[chuckles]

Look at his little, toothless smile. Oh, and the cooing sound he makes– I don’t know. I think this is my favorite.

You and me both.

[phone rings] Mm. It’s my mom.

Hi.

Hey, Mom, happy new year.

Hi, darling. I’m– I’m calling with some bad news.

[sighs] I’m afraid Holly overdosed last night. She’s in a coma.

Oh, my god, no.

I know how much she means to you and you to her. Darling, I’m– I’m sorry to pull you away from your family right now. But I think she needs you, and Nicole does too.

I’ll be right there. OK, bye.

[phone beeps] Listen, it’s Holly. she OD’d. I got to get to the hospital.

[sighs]

Hey, do they know Holly’s condition yet? Have you heard?

I don’t know the details. But I will call you as soon as I know more, OK?

OK, and I assume EJ is gonna be there too?

I don’t know. Listen, I just got to be there for Holly because she’s like a daughter to me, OK? All right, I’ll call you as soon as I can.

OK.

[sighs]

[phone chimes] Credit card alert. What? “Did you authorize the following charges?” $, champagne? Son of a bitch.

[sighs] Jude, we are going on a field trip.

Do you think it helps when I talk to her? I mean, she– she can hear me, right?

Definitely. Why don’t you stay here and talk to her? And I will go check on the results of the test that we did, OK? There’s nurses right outside if you need anything.

Thank you, Kayla.

Yeah.

[machine beeping]

[somber music] Hey, baby. I know you like when I tell you the story about the night you were born. And I love to tell it to you because it reminds me of the feeling I had when I held you in my arms for the first time. And your little shriveled up nose and your face, it seemed so beautiful to me, honey, and so perfect. But even before then, before I had the honor of helping to deliver you– oh, I’ll tell you something, little one. You could not wait to come into this world and during a snowstorm no less.

[chuckles]

Hey.

Hey. I just– I just sent John a text updating him on Holly. I called Eric. He’s on his way in.

Good. I just hope that EJ’s OK with that. I mean, I think the last thing Nicole needs is some kind of confrontation between the two of them.

Yes. Obviously, EJ wants to prosecute Tate. I’m just hoping that Eric can– can be of some help here, can be of some comfort. I mean, he was– he was her stepfather. And I know he’d want to be there for her and– and for Nicole.

How dare you blame me for any of this? It was your decision to let Clyde Weston call the shots. I had nothing to do with that!

What, EJ, you think I let Clyde call the shots because it was fun? No, I let Clyde call the shots so my wife wouldn’t get further injured or, God forbid, killed!

And that doesn’t change the fact that you are still running opioid-laced drugs out of the Bistro. That poison might have got my stepdaughter killed!

The hands the drugs wind up in, it’s beyond my control.

Oh, my god. You are kidding me! And you think that somehow exonerates you? You are endangering the lives of thousands of people, Stefan, including children, all to protect one person who is in prison for murder! You give me one damn good reason why I shouldn’t have you arrested right now?

What else do you know? Where did Holly OD?

At the Bistro, apparently, after the New Year’s Eve party.

Oh, is she gonna make it?

I wish I knew. All I know is, she was rushed to the ER from the party. And now she’s in a coma.

[gasps] God, what is happening in Salem? Where are all these drugs coming from?

Not just Salem, the whole country.

And getting worse by the minute. Apparently, the police force is stumped by this new ring.

Yeah, I heard that too.

Well, obviously, we need to get to the bottom of this, expose the players, and bust this story wide open.

[tense music]

[knocking at door]

Oh, I don’t need any towels! Thank you.

Oh, my god. Hey!

What?

$,–

[groans]

–on a bottle of champagne? What the hell is the matter with you?

Oh, language, please. We are in the presence of a precious and impressionable child.

You can’t keep doing this, Leo.

Yeah, obviously not, Mommie Dearest. You failed to authorize the charge. So I had to settle for a bottle of subpar bubbles and are now starting the new year off with a miserable headache. I hope you’re happy.

Well, you’re gonna need an even bigger bottle of aspirin whenever I’m done with you.

Look, we both know the far reach “The Spectator” has and that investigative journalism is the cornerstone to its success.

Something that we agree on.

And I think we can also agree that getting this out there can actually save lives.

We also agree on that, yeah.

Great, great. Then I will take that as a green light to get started.

OK. What do you need from me?

OK, so I have some CIs who are willing to talk. But those answers don’t come for free. I need access to a petty cash fund.

How much?

K should do it.

[tense music]

You want reason why you shouldn’t arrest me, EJ?

Mm.

I’ll give you a damn good reason. And that is, I will implicate you in this entire thing.

[scoffs]

And that won’t be a stretch now, will it? It’ll actually be a slam dunk given your trafficking history with Clyde Weston. I mean, damn it. EJ, how can you not see that we are on the same side in this? We have a common enemy in Clyde Weston. And you are the one person who can help me get rid of him, unless you want Nicole to find out that you could have stopped all of this, that you knew about the drugs that might have killed her daughter. And you didn’t do a damn thing to keep them off the streets.

[chuckles] No. No. No, no, no, no. You do not get to put this on me. Everything that has happened is because of you and your distorted sense of right and wrong. You did this to the family. You made your choice. And now, it’s on you to clean up this mess on your own. And you better do it fast, because if you don’t, I’ll take you down for good.

[dramatic music]

[machine beeping]

[somber music]

Nicole.

Oh. Oh, Eric. You came.

Yeah, my mom, she called me.

It’s– it’s good that you’re here.

Of course I’m here. I love Holly. You know that.

She loves you too.

What do the doctors say?

[sighs] Well, she said that she’s– she’s stable. And there’s brain activity. So now it’s just a– a waiting game. Oh, god, I– I can’t lose her, Eric. I can’t. I mean, she’s– she’s my precious girl. She’s my joy. And I know that I say that all the time, but it’s true. And she’s got her whole life ahead of her. And I ju– I can’t lose another child. My– my– my heart can’t take it.

$,?

Money is the quickest way to get information, basically, the only way to get information when you’re dealing with these kinds of criminals. You want the truth? You’ve got to get the drug dealers to talk.

And how do you get a drug dealer to talk to you? Do you wait in a dark, shadowy alley and then wait for him to come slithering out?

If I have to, yeah. Trust me. I can do this.

Yeah, OK. OK. I mean, if you’re willing to take the risk for the story, then I’m behind you, %.

[sighs]

Damn it, EJ. Do you not comprehend the utter stupidity of what you’re saying right now? Do you not see that if you put me away for this, you are signing Salem’s death warrant?

Oh, please. You don’t give a damn about this town.

What I give a damn about is the people living in it. And right now, at the top of that list is Holly Jonas! You and I, we need to make this right for her.

You know what? You don’t get to say that, not after what you’ve done. My wife is in the hospital next to her comatose child because of the drugs you are running.

You think I don’t know that? I was here! I watched her get carted off in an ambulance! And contrary to what you believe about me, EJ, I do have a heart. And it is breaking right now for that little girl and her mother and for you, because I know how much you’re hurting right now, especially after the loss of your son. And my heart breaks for that too.

[tense music]

Do you understand that I have a very finite amount of money? I can’t afford all this expensive, extravagant crap you keep buying. Not to mention, it’s gonna arouse my husband’s suspicions, you know, when my credit card keeps getting rejected.

OK.

OK. OK what?

Well, last night, I was celebrating some very good news, hence the champagne. And that is that Lady Whistleblower is back, ready to blow the top off this town. So I’m gonna have own spending money. However, that being said, if you don’t play your miserable hand of cards correctly, I’m going to spill your dirty, little secrets all over Salem.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god. What– what– what– what am I doing? I– no. I’m– I’m– I’m not gonna do this anymore. I won’t. No– no more talk of goodbyes. Holly is coming out of this. And– and she’s gonna graduate high school and go to college and have a career and then– and then meet someone that she– she falls in love with and has kids of her own!

Yes, yes, yes. Hey, hey, hey, look at me. Let’s pray for that. OK? OK.

[machine beeping] Dear Lord, our Father, we pray that you look over our best girl here. You have so much love to offer and to receive. And we just pray that you’d be with her. You just be with her as her body heals. Father, we–

[machine beeping rapidly] Hey.

Oh. Oh, my god.

What’s happening?

Honey? Honey, can you hear me?

Oh, no. What’s happening?

I don’t know. What–

She’s having a seizure!

Oh, my– oh, my god.

Nurse!

Honey, honey.

Doctors, please, we need help in here now!

[sobbing] Oh, god, honey, honey. No, please stop.

The money’s been sent.

I really appreciate it, Chad. It looks like I’m on a mission. Thank you so much for the coffee. And again, I’m so sorry about the knocking and the ringing.

Oh, forget about that. Go save some lives.

Good luck.

I certainly hope the $, buys the answers he wants, the answers we all want.

Yeah, you and me both.

You know, he is going to be in harm’s way. Are you concerned about that?

I think he can handle himself. I mean, he was in Beirut in . Apparently, he covered the Israel and Lebanon war, so…

Really?

Yeah.

He must have been very young.

Young and intrepid. He really is a fantastic journalist. I have a lot of respect for him. Well, it’s admirable that you have the foresight to see that.

[chuckles]

It must have been hard when he walked back into Stephanie’s life.

Yeah. Yeah, it was. But I adjusted. And Stephanie and I aren’t– aren’t together anymore. So I can’t really see him as a threat, can I?

I suppose not.

And because “The Spectator” meant so much to Abigail that I’m grateful that Everett’s on staff, especially now. And I’m hopeful that what he’s embarking on, telling this story that absolutely needs to be told, is gonna make our city safer for my kids, safer for everyone.

Abigail would be so proud of you. You’re not just a wonderful dad; you’re a caring human being.

[chuckles]

I’m proud of you too.

So they gave you your old job back, huh?

No surprise. The Lady was wildly popular, as you well know. I’m just excited to be busy again, using my writing chops, being creative. And since you’re giving me that scoffy, little frowny face, I will have you know that at a mere age of , I wrote a brilliant and funny short story called “Tifky Schmifky, Garbage Collector”–

I don’t want to hear it.

–which won the Fun Festive Fabled Award, impressed the hell out of my childhood crush, Sky Luke Roylance. Well, he’s the main reason I wrote it. Though, he had a crush on Rachel Fogelhut, which obviously broke my heart.

Well, I’m about to break your heart too. Get ready.

What are you doing?

There.

[phone beeps]

Wait a second. Is that a shirtless picture of your hunky husband?

[chuckles]

What, pray tell, is this?

That is a financial fitness app, Leo. That’s right. You’re now on a monthly stipend. I decide how much. And you’re gonna make it last through the month. Hey, because if I go broke, the ride ends. And that means not only no more champagne, that means no more food in your stomach, no more roof of your head. Get it?

[sighs] How dense do you think I am, Stefan? You don’t think I see through you?

I have no idea what you’re talking about.

You’re trying to manipulate me, pretending that your heart is breaking for me, which, even if you had a heart, is kind of impossible, given that you don’t give a damn about me and never have.

Wow. You are one cold son of a bitch.

Hmm. And you are wasting your time if you think I am ever going to forgive you for what you’ve done– for your part in hurting my family, for your part in adding to the excruciating pain my wife has already suffered.

Oh, hi. I– I’m so sorry to be interrupting. You’re EJ DiMera, right?

I am. And you are?

I’m Everett Lynch. I work for “The Spectator.” I’d love to ask you a few questions if you have a few minutes.

I don’t.

Stay with us, baby. Stay with us.

I need milligrams Diazepam.

Oh, honey, you’re gonna be OK.

OK, I need you to step outside please. Please.

Help her, Kayla, please.

I’ll do everything I can. Please, come on.

Let’s go.

Nurse, thank you.

[machine beeping rapidly]

Please, God, don’t take my baby. Please, I will do anything.

Hey, shh-shh-shh.

Please don’t take her. Let her live.

[sobs]

She’s in good hands.

Please.

Nicole, I promise that Holly’s in good hands.

Oh, god.

[tense music]

[panting]

Shh.

Eric, Nicole.

Mom, hey. Holly is having a seizure, which is why we’re out here.

Oh. Oh, I see.

What happened? How’s Holly?

Holly is stabilized. So if you want to come back in with me, you can.

OK.

OK, yes.

Thank you.

Again, I’m– I’m so sorry for interrupting.

No worries. Actually, kind of helpful because that conversation was going nowhere.

[chuckles] Everett Lynch. We met at the party last night, actually.

Right. Now if you’ll excuse me–

Before you go, as you may know, there’s been a serious uptick in ODs in Salem, actually, all over the country, including the one that happened right here last night. Just wondering if you have anything you’d like to say on the matter.

Well, uh, yeah. I– I am deeply sorry for what happened here on my loading dock. But I am just the business owner. I have no control over people’s desires, proclivities, afflictions, no control over what happens out here on the dock. And having said that, yeah, we’re gonna add an extra security detail to the property.

OK. Can I quote you on that?

Sure.

Do you feel in any way responsible for what happened to Holly Jonas?

Not one bit. What I do feel is deeply saddened for the girl and her mother.

[tense music]

The children are playing board games. Doug is enjoying his coffee and reading for the umpteenth time “Master and Commander.”

[chuckles]

He cannot get enough of the Patrick O’Brian novels.

Oh, my goodness. That was– that was one of Abigail’s favorites. Yeah, I mean, she loved, loved historical fiction in general.

Yes, they had that in common. I remember a wonderful conversation that they had about– about HMS “Surprise.”

Yes.

Yeah.

That was one of her favorites as well.

Yes, she was an avid reader.

That she was.

[somber music] You know something? As cliché as it sounds, I still– I still sometimes expect that she’s gonna come back. You know, that I’ll wake up, and she’ll be– she’ll be lying beside me. Or that, you know, I’m going to get a– a call or a text that she’s– that she’s on her way. So don’t worry. You know, she’ll be home soon, something like that. You’d think that– that the longer she was gone, the– The more real her death would be, the more I’d be able to accept it. But it’s the opposite. It’s the more time that goes by, the more– Shocking it is that I’m never gonna see her face again.

Darling. Darling. I wish I could say words that would comfort you, words that you haven’t heard a thousand times. But I will say Abigail’s always gonna be in your heart. And she’s in your children too. Just last night when I put Charlotte to bed, tucking her in, I told her I loved her. She gave me such a smile.

Mm.

That smile, Abigail was there. It was Abigail’s smile.

Yeah, she’s got Abby’s smile. Thomas has her– her eyes and sense of humor.

Oh, does he ever.

[laughter] Well, I was going to wait until Doug comes downstairs. But I found as I get older, I have no patience whatsoever anymore, so– So, Chad, would you consider moving back here with us and the children?

Moving back in here? Really?

Yeah, really. We love Thomas and Charlotte so much. And if they were around, oh, we’d be sparky. We’d be firing on all cylinders. And I– I– I think they’re comfortable with us.

Oh, are you kidding me? They’re more than comfortable with you. They adore you.

I hope that’s true.

Yes.

Well, if you were living here with them, we could take care of them when you have to work. And then we could pick them up, and take them to school. And– and we would be so glad to share some of that responsibility with you. So what do you say?

I’m– I’m– I’m grateful and– and touched by the offer.

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles] I mean, come on. I accept. I accept.

Oh, wonderful. Oh, wonderful.

[laughs]

Yes.

Oh, you made me so happy.

[laughs] Darling, I do understand how shattered you were when you lost Abigail. I mean, she was a light to all of us. She knew the most important thing in life is for a human being to give and accept love. That’s a gift. You have so much life ahead of you, a full life, because you have so much love to give and receive. You remember that. You hang on to that.

The audacity, the effrontery, the sheer unadulterated chutzpah to think that you could put me on a budget? How do I know you’re not doing this for your own selfish purposes just to save money? How do I know you’re not really rich as Croesus and you’re just crying poor mouth to deprive me of my shopping highs?

You know, you can trust it because it’s the God’s honest truth.

Hmm. Like this little boy is your child and not Nicole’s, that kind of God’s honest truth?

Leo, if you continue to impoverish me by spending recklessly and extravagantly, it’s gonna ruin everything, Hey, for the both of us.

[groans] Fine. As bored and bothered as I am by this and how much it’s already giving me acid reflux and heartburn, I get it. I’ll do it. I’ll do this stupid app-based budget.

Excellent. That means you continue to get what you want out of this arrangement, and I continue to get what I want. Deal?

Dismal, dispiriting, demoralizing deal. But yeah, deal.

[sighs]

I am having one of our neuro specialists take a look at the results from the tests that we’ve done, but for right now, Holly is stable. And that’s a good thing.

And the seizure, why did that happen?

Well, it’s very common to have this kind of complication when there’s been drug intoxication or drug withdrawal. As long as it’s not recurrent or prolonged, it doesn’t it usually cause any permanent brain damage. And as you know, Holly’s was very brief. So that bodes well in her favor.

OK, thank you. Kayla, thank you for explaining that.

Sure. Listen, if there’s any change, I’m nearby, all right?

OK.

OK.

[machine beeping]

[sighs] I know that I’m supposed to feel some comfort in what Kayla said, but my baby girl is still in a coma. And I need her to wake up. I mean, do you think she’s gonna wake up?

Yes. Yes, I do. Nicole, you are a wonderful mom. You’re strong. I’m here for you. And I’m here for Holly.

Thank you for that. Thank you.

[gentle music]

It’s gonna be OK.
