THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Willow: Agent Baines, please. This is Congresswoman Tait, regarding an urgent matter. Tell him I expect to see him in my office by the end of the day. He knows exactly what this is about.  Thanks for coming.

Valentin: It’s not every day a sitting member of Congress wants my presence.

Willow: I know you’re dating Carly, and she would happily load me into an unmarked WSB van before she would help me with them. But I am hoping that you will feel differently, especially because this involves my mother.

Valentin: In what way?

Willow: In the Agent Baines way. You warned my mom about him, and it turns out you were right.

Valentin: If your goal is to free your mother from the WSB, I don’t think that phone call is the best way to do it.

Willow: I don’t know. I think my attitude is entirely justified. My mother is innocent.

Valentin: I don’t think the WSB feels that way.

Willow: She was framed.

Valentin: And who would do that? Drew, perhaps?


Carly: I get that the WSB needs to search the Crimson offices, but you’ve shut down the entire floor. That is very disruptive to my guests and other tenants in this building, so I need to know when you guys are gonna be out of here.

Baines: I can’t say. They’re investigating the disappearance of one of their own, and while I understand your frustration, I thought you’d be more good-natured about it, since you’re the one who pointed me toward Nina Reeves as the most likely suspect in Jack Brennan’s disappearance.


Danny: So Tracy’s pretty mad, huh?

Cody: Uh, I don’t think mad really covers it, bud. She caught you trying to steal a car. Again. What were you thinking? You still gotta pay for what you did to Chase’s truck and that speedboat. So, per Tracy’s instructions, you got a whole bunch more chores on top of what you already had, starting with sweeping out the stalls.

Danny: I promise, Cody, I’ll do every single chore on that list and whatever else you can think of. But first, I gotta borrow your truck.

Cody: [Chuckles]


Scout: Charlotte? Why are you in my dad’s car?

Charlotte: You need to leave right now.

Scout: Yeah, no. What are you doing?

Charlotte: Okay, Scout, you don’t understand, okay? I’m doing this for you, okay? So you need to leave before you ruin everything.

Rocco: It’s not gonna work, Charlotte. Get out of the car.


Isaiah: Britt. Hey. You in there?

Britt: Yeah, I’m here. I’m fine. I just needed a minute.

Isaiah: Looks like you need a little more than that.  Why don’t you get out of here?

Britt: What for? There’s nowhere I want to go. And nobody waiting for me anyway.


Anna: Good to see you. Thanks for coming.

Jason: Of course.

Anna: Can I ask how Britt is?

Jason: I mean, she’s a little shaken up, but she’ll be okay.

Anna: Did you talk about what happened that night?

Jason: We did. It did not go well.

Anna: What do you mean?

Jason: Britt asked me to back her story with the PCPD. And I said no.

Anna: Oh, Jason, you shouldn’t have done that.


Charlotte: What are you guys doing here?

Scout: According to Danny, we’re saving your butt.

Rocco: Even he thinks whatever you were about to do is a bad idea.

Charlotte: Wait. Danny sent you to stop me?

Rocco: That’s what his text said.

Scout: Okay, so I’m going to ask you again. Why were you hiding in my dad’s car?

Charlotte: Look, okay, it was the only way to get your dad to back off Danny so you guys can see each other.

Scout: When it comes to Danny, my dad won’t even listen to me. Why do you think he’d listen to you?

Charlotte: Scout, do you mind if I talk to Rocco for a second?

Scout: Uh, yeah, kinda.

Charlotte: You have to get her away from here.

Rocco: Neither of us are leaving until you tell me what you’re doing.

Charlotte: When Drew gets in his car, I’m gonna surprise him and throw my arms around him and make it look like we’re making out.

Scout: You’re gonna make out with–? What are you talking about? That’s crazy.

Charlotte: I know, but I’m not actually gonna do anything, okay? It just has to look like it on the video. After that, I’m gonna tell him I’m gonna post it on social media, where he’ll be labeled a sexual predator and get canceled immediately. It’s a perfect plan.

Rocco: That’s insane.

Charlotte: My God, you sound just like Danny. But trust me, I know this is gonna work, okay? You just have to get her out of here.


Cody: [Chuckles] Are you really trying to sneak off after what just happened? You know you’re not doing yourself any favors, bud.

Danny: I know, but this is really important. Someone needs my help before they do something really stupid.

Cody: You do get that Tracy’s my boss, right? And she put me personally responsible for you this afternoon.

Danny: Yeah, but—

Cody: Okay, all right, look. Nothing’s going to happen until I know what’s going on, all right? So if it’s a real emergency, I’ll go with you, or we’re calling 911. So what’s going on? What kind of trouble is your friend in?

[Cellphone dings]

Cody: Everything okay?

Danny: Yeah, I-I think so.  Um, um…So you said something about, uh,  sweeping out the stall?


Carly: Speaking of which, was it really necessary to drag the editor-in-chief of Crimson out of the Metro Court Gardens in handcuffs? I mean, it was all over social media, and I don’t want my hotel associated with criminal activity.

Baines: For somebody who wants nothing to do with the WSB, you certainly are immersed in it. Your daughter, Chief Brennan, even Valentin Cassadine. I mean, whether you like it or not, it seems like you’re going to be dealing with the WSB, whether you want to or not. But I’ll try to make this current run-in as painless as possible.

[Telephone rings]

[Door closes]

Carly: Yeah. What? What do you mean someone’s messing around in the parking lot?


Anna: I could’ve killed Britt. And she has every right to go to the PCPD. Please.

Jason: I totally understand it is her right. But I don’t– I don’t want to be a part of it. Because you’ll get locked up. As far as I’m concerned, you don’t need to be locked up. You’re committed to getting help. So what’s the point of getting the cops involved in the first place?

Anna: Well, I don’t know. I’m sure Britt would feel safer. You know? She has to be terrified of me after what happened.

Jason: Yeah, but you didn’t hurt her.

Anna: Not physically, no. But staring down the barrel of a gun is traumatic. I can’t imagine that she’s just gonna shake that off. It’s gonna leave scars on her psyche.

Jason: Yeah, possibly. But Britt has been through worse. And she’s tough.

Anna: Yeah. Do you think she did reach out to the PCPD?

Jason: I don’t know.

Anna: I think she’s gonna feel a lot more secure soon. I–I don’t think I’m going to be in Port Charles for that much longer.

Jason: You’re leaving?

Anna: I mean, not of my own choice. But I have a feeling that the WSB will show up any minute, haul me off to one of their facilities.


Willow: Do you think Drew has a motive to frame my mother?

Valentin: Well, I think considering you and Nina were injecting Drew and keeping him in a locked-in state, I’m going to say yes.

Willow: Did my mother tell you that?

Valentin: You don’t have to confirm or deny it. But if it’s true, Drew has a hell of a motive to pin Jack’s disappearance on Nina. He could pay you both back in one fell swoop.

Willow: Unfortunately, it’s not a big leap. Unlike the idea of my mother hurting Jack Brennan. There’s just no way.

Valentin: I agree. I’m inclined to believe that Jack cut his losses and left town on his own. I find it harder to believe that he would leave Nina holding the bag. I think that’s more likely the work of a certain ex-Congressman.

Willow: Look, all I care about is getting my mother out of Steinmauer. You’re the WSB expert. If you say the best way to free her is to implicate Drew, I will call them right now and say that he framed her.


Scout: You said something about a video. What video?

Charlotte: My phone’s set up and focused on Drew’s windshield. You can see everything. After this, Scout won’t have to be a prisoner in her own home anymore, okay? So can you just help me and make Scout leave?

Rocco: We’re leaving.

Scout: Wait, whose phone is that?

Charlotte: Rocco, give that back right now!

Rocco: We’re all leaving.

Charlotte: Look, Danny and I thought about this, okay? This is the only way.

Scout: The only way to what? Just tell me what the big secret is already.

Charlotte: Rocco, you better give my phone back right now before I take it from you.

Carly: Hey!  Why am I getting reports that the three of you are causing a scene in my hotel?


Britt: This whole situation with Sidwell is much worse than people know. And I’m still dealing with the repercussions.

Isaiah: How so?

Britt: Well, for once, I was the victim. Not everyone sees it that way. But the– the longer I sit with it, I wonder… maybe I wasn’t.

Isaiah: Sorry. What are we talking about here?

Britt: I knew someone was being held against their will. And I waited too long to do something about it.


Jason: Josslyn took your advice and reported me to the WSB.

Anna: Yeah. I mean, I wouldn’t want her to cover for you. No, I–I wouldn’t, Jason, because lying to the Bureau when I was an agent was the exact thing that ruined my life. I don’t want that for her.

Jason: Yeah, I don’t– Neither of us do.

Anna: You know, I was just hoping that maybe I could stay here, work with Dr. Nichols and avoid being locked up again, because that’s really just going to exacerbate my PTSD.

Jason: I mean, that makes sense.

Anna: But I don’t really think that’s a viable possibility… given my actions that night. They were both dangerous… and deranged. You know, if you hadn’t found us when you did… I could have killed Britt.

Jason: I don’t think that’s true.

Anna: [Scoffs] I wish I was as certain as you about that. Anyway, be that as it may, the reason I asked you here is… because if… Well, when the Bureau comes to take me away, that’s really going to shatter Emma. And she’s going to blame Josslyn. And Josslyn will blame herself. And so what I really need is for them both to see that I brought this on myself. And, you know, the way you would have to do that is if you could really make them understand, especially Emma… exactly what I did to Britt.


Cody: Ahem. Danny, is something going on with Scout?

Danny: What–what makes you think that?

Cody: Well, you look super stressed, and that usually means you’re thinking and worrying about her. Also, Molly might have told me that things between Drew and Alexis aren’t great. Actually, what she said is Drew’s being a jerk.

Danny: It’s like he doesn’t know any other way to be.

Cody: But you said that somebody was in trouble?

Danny: Charlotte. I told her how much I hate not seeing Scout, and she’s determined to help.

Cody: Sounds like a good friend.

Danny: Yeah, she’s the best. You know, she’s always got my back, and I’m repaying her by dragging her into this mess with Drew. Seems like my problems with Drew just keep spreading and making everything worse for everyone else in my life.


Carly: The valet told me that you guys were messing in someone’s car. Are you guys just gonna look at each other, or is someone gonna tell me what’s going on?

Scout: Rocco and I came to pick up Charlotte, and we found her in my dad’s car.

Carly: What were you doing in Drew’s car?

Charlotte: I just wanted to drive it. I was gonna, you know, take it off the road, get it all muddy, and then bring it back for you to find. You know, like a–like a prank.

Scout: That? That was your big secret plan?

Charlotte: It was stupid, and I’m sorry. But luckily Scout and Rocco came here just in time to stop me, and the car’s fine, so we should just get out of here.

Carly: No, no, wait a minute. You’re not going anywhere. You have no idea how big a problem this could have been, do you? If Drew’s car would have gone missing from this hotel, I would have had to report it to the PCPD. Do you know what would have happened to you then?

Charlotte: No.

Carly: You would have been hit with a grand theft auto charge.

Charlotte: For a stupid prank?

Carly: Yeah. And Drew would have pressed charges, taken you to court, and jumped at the chance to make me look bad. And given the situation, that would be very easy to do.

Rocco: She wasn’t gonna steal his car. She was using it to set up Drew. She was trying to film a video of them kissing to use as blackmail.


Valentin: Tempting, though I’m sure it is, to throw Drew under the proverbial bus, simply offering an alternative suspect to the WSB will not be enough to secure her release.

Willow: Okay, so what do I do? Do I call them out? Make a big public stink about a private citizen being disappeared by an overreaching WSB?

Valentin: No, don’t do that. You don’t want to be at odds with the WSB. And I know Agent Baines well enough to know he doesn’t deal well with threats.

Willow: So how do I approach him?

Valentin: With an open hand. You be his ally, not his adversary. I think the only way you’re gonna help your mother now is to help the WSB.


Isaiah: I heard a little about what happened on Spoon Island. Sounds to me like you were in an extreme situation.

Britt: It started at extreme.

Isaiah: I know from my work in some of the most complicated places in Africa that when you’re in an out-of-control situation, your own behavior can suddenly become out of control, too. Then you find yourself doing things you never imagined. Things that can be… hard to live with.

Britt: Yeah. How’d you get through it?

Isaiah: I just did the best that I could.

Britt: Me, too. But in my case, it just wasn’t good enough.


Anna: I told Emma what happened. But even as I was speaking to her, I could see her rationalizing things, downplaying everything, because she didn’t want to think that I was capable of doing such a thing. You know. But you were there. You saw how bad it was. So when the time comes, I would need you to tell Emma and Josslyn the truth, please, if you could.

Jason: Of course. I’ll answer any questions they have. Honestly.

Anna: Thank you.

Jason: Okay, so, but if the WSB does come for you, you don’t have to go quietly. I can get you out of town. I’ll take you myself.

Anna: Oh, well, thanks. Valentin made the same offer. But Danny needs you. You can’t leave.

Jason: It’ll be two to three days max. I’ll get you someplace safe. You can recover. You get stronger.

Anna: Thanks. I appreciate the offer. But I don’t think running and hiding is the solution. You know? I think… I think I really do have to face up to the consequences of what I did.

[Doorbell rings]


Valentin: The WSB will be more inclined to do something for you if you were to do something for them. And right now they have Nina because they protect their own. And they want to find Jack Brennan. If you were to offer them something that they find valuable to the agency as a whole, well, maybe the mystery of the disappearance of Jack Brennan could find its way to the backseat.

Willow: But the WSB already knows that I’m working on expanding their funding through the appropriations committee.

Valentin: Extra funding is always nice.

Willow: What I mean is that I’m obviously an agency ally, yet they still took my mother. So what else is there to do? I could offer Agent Baines a bribe.

Valentin: He can’t be bought. Any attempt at coercion will blow up in your face. It’s time you step up your game and become indispensable to the WSB.


Charlotte: The way Rocco explained it made the plan seem way worse than it actually was.

Carly: I don’t know, it sounded pretty accurate to me.  But if you have an innocent version, I’d love to hear it. Otherwise, I’m gonna go with my gut, and it’s telling me that you, a teenager, were about to throw yourself at a grown man.

Charlotte: So I could force Drew into letting Danny see Scout. Okay, people have sympathy for him right now because of the stroke, but even he couldn’t survive them thinking that he made out with a teenager.

Carly: Charlotte, what would you have done if Drew opened the car door instead of Scout and Rocco?

Charlotte: My phone was set up and recording. And, you know, once he got in, I was gonna jump up and throw my arms around him, and then it would look like we were making out from the angle of my phone, even though we actually weren’t.

Carly: You think that Drew would let you do this to him?

Charlotte: No. He’d get angry and push me away and then take off. And then once he left, I’d come back, get my phone, find the most convincing part of the video, and then I’d send it to him and tell him that I would post it unless he ends the restraining order.

Carly: And what if Drew called your bluff? What if he actually kissed you? Were you prepared for that?

Charlotte: But he wouldn’t.

Carly: You can’t know that. Charlotte, I get why you came up with this plan. Hell, it’s something I would have done it back in the day. But if you would have put it into action, that would have been a huge mistake.


Scout: Oh, are you gonna be late for dinner with your parents?

Rocco: No, I still have time.

Scout: What’s wrong?

Rocco: Danny’s blowing up my phone asking about Charlotte.

Scout: I can’t believe he didn’t show up at the Metro Court himself.

Rocco: I guess that’s Danny’s deal. He makes a mess but doesn’t clean it up.


Cody: Well, everybody’s drinking less water than usual, but the grass they’re eating is pretty hydrating, so keeping the water at 68 degrees, just the way they like it.

Danny: Hmm.

[Cellphone dings and buzzes]

Cody: Go. Check it.  Everything okay?

Danny: Yeah. Um… Rocco’s not giving me any details, so he’s probably mad at me… again.

Cody: Yeah. I noticed you guys don’t seem to hang out anymore.

Danny: There was a time when Rocco and I had each other’s backs, but a lot has changed. He’s very hung up on playing it safe. Scout’s my sister. It’s wrong that Drew is keeping us apart, so I gotta find a way to make him back off.

Cody: Okay. Now see that– see that– That’s your problem right there.


Britt: I knew someone was being held on Spoon Island. But, you know, I had– I had my own stuff going on. Most of the time, I was just trying to survive.

Isaiah: Yeah, being in survival mode can make it difficult to help other people.

Britt: I really wanted to get them out. I just didn’t know how. But I knew for sure that if I got caught, we’d both be killed. Then, before I could come up with a plan, they were moved somewhere else, out of my reach.

Isaiah: Sounds like an awful situation for both of you. I’m sorry.

Britt: Me too. Terrible things happened to this person because I didn’t act fast enough. I did care. I was really trying to figure out what to do. No one believes me.

Isaiah: That’s their problem.

Britt: Is it?

Isaiah: Yeah. It doesn’t matter what anyone believes. You know you were doing your best and searching for a way to help. So hold on to that, and everyone else be damned.


Baines: Anna Devane.

Anna: Agent Baines. WSB. Yeah. I’ve been expecting you. Please, come in. My friend was just leaving.

Baines: Actually, I’d like Mr. Morgan to stay. I understand you were involved in the incident with Dr. Britt Westbourne. I was informed by Agent Jacks that you made an attempt on Dr. Westbourne’s life. Is that correct?

Anna: Yeah, it is.

Jason: But Anna suffered emotional trauma. She was held prisoner, and the WSB did nothing to help her.

Anna: And just so you know, I’ve taken a leave of absence from the PCPD, and I’m under the care of a psychiatrist. But I understand if that doesn’t satisfy the Bureau.

Baines: Well, standard policy doesn’t quite apply, given the breadth and scope of classified knowledge to which you’ve been exposed over the years.

Anna: Well, I’m fully prepared to hand myself over to you, Agent Baines. Face the consequences of my actions.


Rocco: That whole thing with Charlotte has been a lot for you.

Scout: It was a lot for me. I can’t believe she was going to do that to my dad. I mean, she was going to ruin his reputation in the worst way possible. And then she turned around to say she was doing it for me?

Rocco: You don’t believe her?

Scout: No. No. She and Danny just hate my dad. Like everyone else.

Rocco: I don’t hate your dad. And I know you love him. I think he thinks he’s just acting in your best interest.

Scout: Well, why can’t Danny see that? He did text me to stop Charlotte.

Rocco: Because he didn’t like this particular plan. But I could totally see him blackmailing your dad if he could.

Scout: Even if that’s true, he’d be doing it so that he can see me. I’m so sick of everyone, including Danny, just using me as an excuse to go after my dad. The last thing I want is for my dad to get hurt because of me.


Danny: How am I the problem in this situation? I’m standing up to Drew because he’s a bully who keeps Scout locked in her room so she can’t see her family.

Cody: Literally?

Danny: Well, no, but my mom would want me to help her. But Drew’s got all of the power, so there’s nothing I can do.

Cody: Not exactly. You can actually take away Drew’s power by doing nothing.

Danny: I don’t get it.

Cody: All right, fighting against Drew puts you in the wrong. But if you just follow the rules, he can’t come at you with anything.

Danny: Where’s that gonna get me? He still won’t let me see Scout.

Cody: Yeah, I know, but it makes Drew the bad guy. Well, all you gotta do is just stay out of trouble, mind your own business, and people like Tracy and Alexis will go to bat for you and help you see your sister. The key is you can’t force it. You gotta just be cool, play the long game. Nice and calm, slow and steady, no sudden movements.

Danny: So, treat Drew like a horse?

Cody: More like a donkey. Remember, Drew’s an ass.


Carly: I made huge mistakes when I was young.

Charlotte: You did?

Carly: Yeah, all the time. I did things that I couldn’t take back. I ruined people’s lives. And I did it by using my sexuality to get what I wanted. And I didn’t care at all about the consequences for myself or for anyone else. And I’m telling you, you don’t want to do that. It sends the wrong message about who you are and what you want. And more importantly, how you expect others to treat you.

Charlotte: I didn’t think about that when I was coming up with the plan.

Carly: No. You’re so lucky that you had Scout and Rocco stop you today. I didn’t have anyone to pull me back. And I almost destroyed myself.

Charlotte: I promise I won’t try and trap Drew again.

Carly: Good. Glad to hear that.

Charlotte: Okay, I know I’m in trouble. Can I ask you a favor?

Carly: You can ask.

Charlotte: Can you please not tell my dad?


Willow: Baines is an extremely effective agent.

Valentin: Did you two work together?

Willow: Yeah. From opposing sides.

Carly: Excuse me. Hi.

Valentin: Hi.

Carly: Um, can you come to my office? Your daughter’s here.

Valentin: Something I should know?

Carly: She’s safe.

Valentin: I’ll be right there.

Willow: I gotta go. Thank you, Valentin. You’ve been helpful.

Valentin: My pleasure. Oh, something you should know. First piece of advice is free. Next one’s gonna cost you.


Britt: I get why people think I’m selfish. Because I am selfish. Probably because I’ve always had to take care of myself. But that doesn’t mean I won’t put myself on the line. I’ve done it before. And I’ll do it again. Thanks for believing in me. Too bad Jason doesn’t.


Anna: Will I be taken to Steinmauer?

Baines: No. Well, you’re a special case. You weren’t an active agent at the time of the incident. And I’ve vetted Dr. Nichols. I believe Dr. Nichols is fit to oversee your care.

Anna: To oversee my care. What? Here, in Port Charles?

Baines: As long as you agree to the WSB reviewing all of Dr. Nichols’ notes and you sign this NDA stipulating that you won’t publicly disclose anything that happened to you in the last year.

Jason: Okay, so let me get this clear. If Anna stays quiet about a rogue WSB agent who is developing a very dangerous cold fusion device, she gets to stay here and get help here.

Anna: I’ll sign. Yeah, there you go. Thank you.

Baines: I wish you good health, Miss Devane. And Mr. Morgan, WSB is glad that you are enjoying your freedom now that you’re back in Port Charles. Should we need you again, we trust that you’ll be available.

Anna: Wow. Oh. I get to stay here in Port Charles.

Jason: That’s great.

Anna: Oh, yeah. I’m surprised the WSB finally did the right thing, but I’m not gonna question it.

Jason: I’m not gonna question it either.

Anna: Yeah. This is all because Britt didn’t press charges, you know? God, would you thank her for me? I mean, I’d like to do it myself, but I don’t think she wants to hear from me.

Jason: She doesn’t want to hear from me either. We’re not together anymore.

Anna: Because of what I did?


Scout: You know, my dad is convinced that everyone is out to get him. But you know what? They kind of are.

Rocco: You think?

Scout: Yeah. Tracy, my grandma, Aunt Molly, they all say that they’re fighting with him for my own good. But it doesn’t feel good to me.

Rocco: Because you’re stuck in the middle, and that always sucks.

Scout: Totally does. And then all the fighting gets my dad overprotective. And then I end up lying to him about something I should never have to. Like hanging out with people. And it’s not like we’re hurting anybody.

Rocco: Because everyone around us is an insane drama machine. We have to keep it a secret.

Scout: At least we can talk with each other. Can you imagine having to watch all this craziness around us and having to keep it all in?

Rocco: No, I don’t want to. I’d be so overwhelmed without you.

Scout: Me too.


Cody: All right, well, now you got me all invested in what’s going on. Any news?

Danny: Nothing from Charlotte and nothing from Rocco. But at least I should be glad he texted me to tell me Charlotte was okay.

Cody: Yeah. Look, if Rocco came through for you today, maybe things between you two aren’t as bad as you thought.

Danny: Maybe. But they are different. I mean, he’s been through a lot, but since he’s been back, it’s like we’re on completely different wavelengths. We barely talk, and we used to tell each other everything.

Cody: I’ve been there.

Danny: We grew up in the same house, like brothers. Now every time I’m around him, it feels like we’re strangers, and it kills me.

Cody: Sorry, man. That’s the worst.

Danny: Yeah, I miss him. It’d be a lot worse if I didn’t have Charlotte. She’s my best friend.


Valentin: Charlotte? Everything all right?

Charlotte: Yep, totally fine.

Valentin: Well, that’s obviously not true. You want to try that again?

Charlotte: Dad, can we just go home, please?

Valentin: Yeah, all right. Come on, let’s go.

Carly: Charlotte broke into Drew’s car.


Jason: Britt said that she was working on getting you out of Wyndemere, but Sidwell and [unclear] moved you, and she didn’t know where. And that’s what she claims, anyway.

Anna: That’s what she claims? You don’t believe her?

Jason: Man. As much as I want to, I don’t. And I realized that meant that we can’t be together. Because part of loving someone is believing them, no matter what the circumstances. I can’t give Britt that.

Anna: I see.

Jason: We didn’t break up because of you, Anna. We broke up because of me.


Britt: What you really walked in on today was me feeling sorry for myself because my boyfriend and I broke up over this whole situation. He doesn’t believe I was trying to find a way to help.

Isaiah: I’m sorry to hear that.

Britt: Yeah, me too. I’ve always been terrible at relationships, so this isn’t a new feeling. But this one is rough. The whole point of being in a relationship is that you got someone who believes in you no matter what, against all odds.

Isaiah: If this person can’t take you at your word, Britt, then that’s on them. You’re better off without them.

Britt: Thanks. Doesn’t feel that way right now. But I’ll get there. Eventually.


Willow: Agent Baines, thank you for coming on such short notice.

Baines: Your message was insistent.

Willow: Well, I am sorry about that. But I’m sure you can understand why. I didn’t even get to say goodbye to my mother, let alone consult with her lawyer before she was whisked out of the country to a Supermax prison in Switzerland.

Baines: I imagine you have questions.

Willow: Just one. What does the WSB need from me to ensure that my mother is returned to Port Charles immediately?

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Philip and Xander excitedly go to see Maggie at the Horton house. Maggie questions why they are grinning from ear to ear. Xander says they have the best news that they just had to come share in person. Philip then announces that Titan is saved.

Holly confronts Mason in the town square. Mason tries to say he’s busy but Holly says he’s going to have to tolerate her. Holly then shows Mason the “are you having fun” text message and asks if he sent it.

At the Black Patch office, Brady tells Steve about Sarah filing the FDA complaint against EJ. Brady explains how they think EJ is already retaliating since Sarah was sued out of nowhere by Destiny’s parents with a wrongful death suit and says the whole thing reeks of EJ. Brady bets EJ got a hold of Destiny’s parents and maybe even bribed them to be complicit in this. Brady feels this is EJ’s way of warning Sarah to get off the Coriseal investigation, but says there’s no chance in Hell that she will.

At the hospital, Sarah tells Kayla that EJ must have been behind this. Kayla says they don’t know that but Sarah feels it’s obvious since the wrongful death suit was filed right after her complaint. Kayla talks about planning to fight it and if EJ is behind it, he will have nothing to hold against her. Rita arrives and says they are just who she was looking for.

Maggie questions how it’s possible that Titan is saved. Philip responds that they have the money needed to pay off the loan, so EJ cannot foreclose on them. Maggie can’t believe it. Philip just wishes they could’ve stopped the sale of the house but it was too late. Maggie then questions how he got the money. Philip admits that he won it, which Maggie questions further and demands an answer as to how he won the money. Philip thinks she knows the answer and asks her not to be upset. Maggie argues that he told her he was not going to gamble again. Philip doesn’t think he told her that. Maggie complains that he certainly led her to believe it. Philip apologizes for that.

Mason asks Holly why the hell he would text someone he hardly even knows. Holly asks why he hates someone he hardly knows. Mason insists he didn’t send the text. Holly asks who did then. Mason questions how he should know and suggests it could be a wrong number. Holly remarks that it could be someone stalking her which has happened before. Mason questions her thinking he’s stalking her, so Holly asks if he is.

Steve tells Brady that if EJ is bribing people to harass Sarah, that means he’s desperate and they are onto something. Brady says he’d love nothing more than to take EJ down, but he hates that Sarah is being dragged in to this. Steve says they both know the lawsuit is bogus and Kayla has Sarah’s back, so they need to focus on nailing EJ for the Coriseal contamination and prove that he’s responsible for what happened to Holly and Destiny. Steve adds that once they do that, Sarah won’t have anything to worry about.

Kayla asks Rita what they can do for her. Rita assumes they’ve been notified about the pending legal action concerning Destiny’s death which Kayla confirms. Rita informs them that the hospital is launching an independent investigation. Kayla assures they will cooperate and insists the findings will see the hospital was not at fault and everything was done by the book. Rita responds that EJ agrees the hospital is not at fault, but that Sarah is another matter..

Mason tells Holly that he wants nothing to do with her, so he questions why he would stalk her. Holly suggests to scare her or punish her. Holly says that Ari told her that he thinks she’s responsible for the death of someone he cares about. Mason then confirms that he was talking about Sophia Choi.

Philip knows Maggie thinks that him gambling was him falling off the wagon, but swears that it was a one off and the only way to win enough. Philip explains that the poker game went really well but didn’t quite cut it, so he had to put some money down on 18 red at the roulette table and that’s why Titan is saved. Xander encourages Maggie to give Philip a break as he only did it because they were so desperate and out of time and options. Maggie asks if Xander knew about this. Xander says only after the fact and suggests they just rejoice that Philip saved the company. Maggie complains that Philip risked relapsing in to an addiction that nearly destroyed him and the family. Maggie brings up how many times she told herself it was one sip before she fell off the wagon. Philip insists that he has no desire to gamble anymore. Maggie tells him that’s enough as he made her believe he was listening to her and respecting her when she warned him not to go down that road again. Philip argues that he always listens to her because she is the wisest person he knows. Maggie says she virtually begged him not to do anything stupid, but he ran off to Monte Carlo and did just the same thing. Philip knows he didn’t heed her advice, but it’s not because he didn’t hear it or think she was right. Philip admits he did consider taking her advice, but he was conflicted and had to make a choice between taking a risk that could rescue their family from a miserable fate, or he could be more selfish and not take a chance on succumbing to his addiction again. Maggie questions him saying what he did was selfless. Philip guesses that he is. Maggie calls that self delusion to spin something self destructive in to something virtuous. Maggie argues that as a fellow addict, she was appealing to him, thinking he had turned his life around, but he was probably wishing she’d shut up. Maggie declares that Philip defied her and that’s classic addict behavior, so she wants nothing to do with this money.

Brady tells Steve that he feels like he’s fighting a two part war with DiMera by going after EJ to protect Sarah while also going after the mysterious billionaire taking his grandfather’s home. Steve mentions that Paul still hasn’t learned anything more about Dominic Marino. Brady notes that Belle did speak to Marlena, who pointed out that the word Marino means “of the sea” and so does DiMera. Steve bets that’s not a coincidence. Brady wonders what the connection could be and if Dominic could really be another DiMera. Steve suggests maybe someone just wants them to think he is.

Kayla tells Rita that it’s ridiculous and questions what gives EJ the right to weigh in on proper protocol for treating a patient unless he went to medical school during his prolonged absence from the hospital. Kayla argues that Destiny’s case was already reviewed by the board and they determined that Sarah gave her the best possible care. Rita argues that Destiny dropping dead indicates to her and EJ that Sarah failed her and that Destiny would still be alive if she gave her the proper care. Sarah tells Rita that she is wrong and that she obviously came here at the behest of a spoiled, vindictive son of a bitch. Sarah adds that Rita is just as morally bankrupt as EJ is. Sarah shouts that Rita is just as oblivious to what’s going on at the hospital and how dedicated every doctor is to healing every patient. Sarah tells Rita to take her accusations and shove it because she will not sit here and be slandered.

Steve and Brady talk about how just when they think they are done with Stefano’s games, another one pops up. Steve adds that the DiMera family seems to be at as much of a loss as they are when it comes to who Dominic Marino is. Brady says Chad certainly has no idea and that he said Tony doesn’t either. Brady adds that nobody has any idea what’s behind the chess set that Stefano left for John and Marlena. Steve says there are two paths they can go down, either assume Dominic Marino is an impostor with his own twisted reasons for stringing Marlena and Belle along or they assume Dominic is a DiMera or somehow connected with Stefano. Steve questions how the hell no one in the family has ever heard of him.

Sarah demands an answer as to if Rita understands her. Rita responds that Sarah is causing a scene and not helping the situation. Kayla isn’t sure what Rita and EJ are trying to accomplish here. Kayla repeats that Destiny’s care was exactly what it should’ve been. Rita questions Destiny being sent home without medication or referrals. Rita adds that they are launching an investigation and suggests Sarah was distracted that night by her divorce or Xander being involved with an ex lover. Sarah insists she was not distracted and followed standard protocol. Rita remarks that they will see what the experts say.

Holly questions Mason about Sophia being a friend of his. Mason says not exactly. Holly asks what that means. Mason says he doesn’t owe her an explanation. Holly argues that he does if he’s going to blame her for Sophia’s death. Holly says what happened to Sophia was tragic and she knows her mom is telling everyone that it was her fault, but declares that Mason needs to hear it from her because she knows he didn’t get the full story.

Xander argues that Maggie can’t be serious as they are saving Titan and beating EJ at his own game even if she doesn’t approve of how Philip did it. Maggie complains that she’s appalled and saddened and Victor would be too. Xander says maybe so, but there’s no way Victor would turn down the money. Philip agrees that Victor may have been mad at first, but if that money kept Titan out of DiMera’s hands, he wouldn’t have cared if they robbed a bank for it. Philip states that as much as they all love Victor, he was no saint. Xander tells Maggie that she doesn’t really have a say in this matter as he and Philip have controlling interest in Titan and they have decided to use the money to pay off the loan and reclaim Titan. Maggie tells them to knock themselves out, but they will be doing it without her. Xander questions what that means. Maggie declares that she’s stepping away from Titan. Philip pleads with her not to do this. Philip appreciates that she worries and cares about him but he doesn’t have a gambling problem. Philip says his Vitali mob days are over and in the past. Maggie argues that Philip deceived her by telling her he wasn’t going to gamble, but he flew off to Monte Carlo to play in a high stakes game. Maggie questions how she can work for someone she can’t trust. Philip argues that he only did it for one game and it wasn’t just for the hell of it, it was for the love of their family and love for her. Philip asks what he can do to re-assure her that he will not gamble again and offers to go to meetings, insisting he gambled this one time to save the company. Philip adds that in spite of defying her, he has enormous respect for her and thinks the world of her. Xander says they don’t want to do this without Maggie and that Titan needs her guidance as he asks her to reconsider.

Holly asks Mason to let her tell him her side of the story, so he agrees to listen. Holly informs Mason that she and Sophia were best friends since they were little until high school when they fell for the same guy. Holly says she didn’t know it at the time that Sophia was crushing on Tate when they got together and then when they broke up the first time, Sophia hooked up with him and got pregnant. Holly says that’s when she got really cruel and talks about Sophia taking half-naked photos of her to send to her professor while she was too drunk to notice. Holly says what was even more hateful is that she tried to amends with her but Sophia switched her skin supplements with anti psych meds. Mason stops her and says he’s heard all of that from Sophia. Holly questions him still thinking she’s to blame for Sophia’s death. Mason responds that Sophia suffered a lot, talking about her mother being controlling and giving birth to her baby all alone, then having to give him up which he thinks is what sent her over the edge. Holly says he’s probably right, but continues to question him thinking she’s to blame for Sophia’s death. Mason states that he thinks she played a big part in it.

Rita warns Sarah that she may want to take a leave until the investigation in to Destiny’s death concludes. Kayla responds that Sarah will do no such thing. Rita remarks that she may not have a choice and says she’ll be in touch as she walks away. Sarah complains to Kayla that Rita is just as evil and corrupt as EJ is. Kayla encourages that Sarah did great and says she was so proud of how she handled Rita. Sarah says she’s outraged by the accusations but questions what if Rita was right that she could’ve done more for Destiny. Kayla insists she did everything she possibly could with the information she had and now they are pretty certain she died of arsenic poisoning. Sarah complains that they can’t prove it and that Rita is insinuating that their investigation will find whatever EJ wants it to find to take her down.

Brady tells Steve that it wouldn’t be the first time a long lost DiMera crawled out of the woodwork. Steve talks about Stefano not knowing about Chad and Lexie, but when he found them, he brought them in to the fold as nothing was more important to him than family. They question the Dominic Marino connection. Steve has no doubt Stefano’s endgame was to lead them to Dominic and questions if Dominic will show up on their doorstep or if they are going to show up on his. Brady says that Dominic has the advantage of knowing where they are. Brady asks Steve if Roman gave him any insight. Steve says that Roman’s never heard the name either, but he did say that Marlena has been having disturbing memories. Steve tells Brady about the Celtic knot and how Marlena started having a memory of that symbol on a blanket during her time on Stefano’s island.

Sarah tells Kayla that she knew EJ would figure out that she was the doctor that filed a complaint about DiMera Pharmaceuticals and that he would want to fight back, but she was not prepared for this. Kayla says leave it to EJ to exploit a young woman’s death like this. Sarah worries that she could lose her license. Kayla encourages that the truth is on her side. Sarah feels that’s never stopped EJ. Sarah worries that Xander was right that it was a mistake to go on the offense against EJ. Kayla tells her not to think that way and praises her as a doctor. Kayla vows that she will not let them lose her.

Xander urges Maggie that they’ve been given a second chance to make Titan the company it used to be and that they are unstoppable. Philip declares that the three of them working together to rebuild the company is what Victor would’ve wanted. Maggie then gives in and agrees to stay because Titan is important to the thousands of employees who depend on them. Philip thanks her and hugs her, assuring she won’t regret this. Philip exclaims that they are back in business. Maggie says she should tell the rest of the family. Xander asks her to keep it to just family for now as they want to let EJ keep thinking they are defaulting on the loan. Philip declares they are going to snatch victory from EJ at the best possible moment. Maggie admits she thinks that’s an excellent idea because of what EJ has put them through.

Mason tells Holly that Sophia had mental health issues and reveals that after getting out of Bayview, she would call the mental health hotline he works at and they would talk regularly. Mason adds that she would talk about how much it hurt when Holly lied to her and betrayed her. Mason says that Sophia was fragile when she ended up in Bayview and Holly knew that, but still posted nasty things about her online and ganged up on her with a bunch of others. Holly says that isn’t true as she hardly said anything and what she did say was the truth. Mason argues that Holly isn’t taking responsibility. Mason explains that he was talking to Sophia right afterwards and he thought he got through to her and thought she would keep fighting, but now she’s gone and they all have to live with that. Mason then gets up and walks away. Mason walks past the Brady Pub and stops, looking down at the dog tags on his necklace. Mason says that he failed them and he failed Sophia.

Maggie goes to the town square and finds Holly, asking what’s going on. Holly responds that somebody blames her for something awful that happened and she tried to explain her side of the story, but they didn’t want to hear it so it made her sad. Maggie asks if she wants to talk about it, but Holly decides that she doesn’t want to think about it and asks how Maggie is doing. Maggie admits saying goodbye to the Kiriakis Mansion won’t be easy since it’s where she and Victor built their life together. Maggie informs Holly that she does have some good news but they have to keep it in the family as she reveals the mansion was sold, but Titan was saved, so they won’t be losing Victor’s company or his legacy after all. Holly calls that amazing and asks what happened. Maggie responds that Philip took a chance and raised the money to pay off the entire loan.

Philip sits alone in the park and pulls out a poker chip from his jacket pocket which he holds onto.

Brady recalls Marlena being stuck on Stefano’s island and says he is now convinced this is all connected and there has to be a reason behind Dominic Marino. Steve says maybe they can’t find Dominic, but they can still find who was leaving clues for Belle and Chad. They talk about how it has to be someone who was close to Stefano. Brady says Dr. Rolf comes to mind but he’s been missing. Steve says Dr. Rolf was more the mad scientist while leaving bread crumbs for Stefano’s victims is not his style. Brady agrees and wonders who it could be. Steve responds that one name comes to mind, who has been doing Stefano’s bidding long before doing EJ’s.

Kayla confronts Rita at the hospital and warns that she will not stand back while she targets anyone on her staff for personal reasons on behalf of EJ. Rita asks what reason EJ would have to target Sarah. Kayla responds that EJ thinks Sarah filed the anonymous complaint with the FDA, but anyone could have filed that including herself, because Sarah isn’t the only one who knows what EJ is done. Kayla declares that she will make sure no intimidation tactics will make what EJ has done go away.

Xander finds Sarah in the town square and excitedly tells her that he was going to call her but it’s so much better to tell her the news in person. Xander informs her that Titan is saved as they have the money to pay off EJ’s loan. Sarah calls that wonderful. Xander says they don’t want it out there just yet but he couldn’t wait to tell her as he wanted to share it with her most of all. Sarah says she’s glad and happy for him. Xander says he’s happy for them as it’s part of Victoria’s legacy too. Xander excitedly declares that they won as he hugs Sarah and says so much for EJ getting the best of them, as Sarah remains looking worried.
