THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean, what are you? You do realize that it’s barely past breakfast time? I do. And do you have any idea how hard it is to find a place that sell liquor this early in the morning? Don’t joke about this. Listen, I wasn’t joking. The bottle that I had the other night just somehow mysteriously just disappeared.

So I had to get another one. Can I, can I please have my bottle back? No, you can’t. And if you’re wondering if I poured the other bottle out, I did. I confess and I would do it again. Son, listen, I get that you’re in pain about your dad. And that you’re tearing yourself out both of putting him in that coma, but this has got to stop.

Well, if it isn’t, commander Michaels didn’t expect to see you here. That was intentional.

So what were you doing behind the wall?

Dam it ej. I am more concerned about Megan killing Stephan than Nicole killing you. Why would she? What do you mean by that? For God’s sake? I was being facetious. Ohm supposed to be with Nicole right now at an appointment with a perinatologist, an expert in high risk pregnancies, one of the most sought after specialists in the country.

It was almost impossible to get an appointment, but I managed it. I am relieved because I thought Nicole had suddenly become homicidal. No, of course not. And honestly,

finding out that I was to be the father of her baby, I wouldn’t have predicted that it would mean so much to me. As you are well aware, she’s, she’s had a history of miscarriages and it’s all very heartbreaking, so her and I are very, very eager to find out what her chances are of carrying our baby to turn.

But now here I am with the appointment only an hour away, and our sadistic sister has got me tied up tighter than a rodeo calf. Yes.

Oh, Nicole, I’m so good you’re here. I just got a message from the perinatologist, so she should be here within the hour. Where is he? Jay? Is he around? Oh, you mean the man who’s supposedly excited to be the father of my child.

Thanks for letting me know. Is that about Colin guess? I tried to get him transferred to Bayview since he’s obviously in a bad state, mentally. Of course, Trask wasn’t going for it, no surprise. So he’s still at Salem PD and since he refuses to take my plea deal, probably end up at Statesville for the rest of his life.

Okay. What can I do?

Nothing. Except hold me.

Stop right there. Lucy, was he, excuse me. As much as I’m sure you would love them, they’re not meant for you. Oh, these are not meant for anybody because this is where they belong.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Pat, you are being extremely rude. Yeah. Well, at least I’m not a card carrying phony. Like this guy Unc Meister here is about a see through as as that underwear Xander gave you for Valentine’s Day. Look, I know you want me six feet under because I swapped out your priceless emerald for a phony. And now you’ve got double reason to want me dead because I am onto you.

Mr. Hoy toity. Mr. Too handsome for the room. This room. Anyway. Well, Gwenie here happens to be my truest and bestest friend in the entire world, and you have another thing coming if you think I’m just gonna sit back and watch you take advantage of her,

I was. Nearly getting acquainted with my famous family home, which is not your home. So what exactly are you doing here?

So you’re going to exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. It’s simple.

I’m done watching You hurt people.

Dammit. I have to get out of here. I have to get to that appointment. You know what? I didn’t. I didn’t know this meant so much to you becoming a father again, truthfully,

what means the most to me is Nicole’s happiness. I’ve got no pregnant twice before, as you know, and nevermind the drama surrounding those two pregnancies. That’s irrelevant. The important thing is that both times she miscarried and she was crushed. I don’t want her to have to go through that again. You really love her, don’t you?

I really do. Even if she doesn’t feel the same way about me, you know, EJ is the one who pulled strings to make this appointment happen, and now he’s not even coming. With no explanation, just some text that says, Ooh, whatever, you know, deal with it yourself. Okay. Those were not his exact words, but you know, I find it really surprising because EJ seemed really excited about this pregnancy.

Well, he is excited. Maybe I’m just overreacting. Maybe I’m, I’m hormonal, but I’m just trying to understand why he suddenly pulled a disappearing act. C, come on, gimme that. Come on, Val. Listen, I’m not hurting anybody. All right. Are you serious? Because the other night you were so wasted and ready to get behind the wheel of a car, and I’m just praying you don’t hurt somebody else.

I, Lord knows you’re already hurting yourself with all of this. Okay? Oh, you know, you’re right. Actually, you know what? Maybe I should just go on like everything is fine. I’m just gonna forget about the fact that I shot my dad, and I’m gonna forget that I put God sake Sean, no one’s asking you to forget it.

I’m just asking you to deal with it, but in the right way. Oh. Oh, okay. The right way. Okay. The right. And I’m assuming that you know what the right way is, so if you do, I’m all ears I’d to know. Okay. Well, it’s not drinking yourself into a stupor.

Listen, I just, I’m just asking you to maybe go talk to my mom. Okay. Maybe she can help you process all this guilt you’re feeling. You want me to go to therapy? Therapy be, I mean, come on. I mean, Bob is a lot cheaper, so he can stop joking about this. Listen, it’s, it’s not gonna be easy and it’s not gonna be immediate, but I do think that talking to someone about this will help give you some perspective, you know, so you’ll stop torturing yourself.

Maybe I want, maybe I wanna torture myself bell, huh? Do you not get it? Do I have to spell it out for you? Is it, I deserve to be tortured. I deserve to be miserable. That that is my punishment. You can’t mean that. I mean, every damn word of that.

Well, the doctor’s not gonna be here for a while, so there’s still time for EJ to get here. Yeah, of course. I’m sure you’re right. Yeah, listen, I need to get to my office, but I’ll look for you in a little bit, okay? Mm-hmm. Okay. Sounds good.

Oh, come on, ej. Dammit. Answer me pink.

Everything okay? Yeah. Hi, bill. I’m just, um, I’m just frustrated, you know, because I’ve been trying to reach EJ and he just finally sent me a text and I, you know what? It’s a long story and I’m, I, I, I just wish he was here. I’m sorry. Is this about you being pregnant? I, uh, I read about it in Lady Whistleblowers column.

Yeah, right. Well, it, it is so I guess the story is accurate then. And ejs the father. Huh? We did a paternity test. It’s definitive. Yeah. Wow. I guess that probably hit Eric pretty hard. Huh?

I must seem so needy to you. Hey, I know each other sometimes. God knows I’ve leaned on you a lot since we’ve been together. I’m here for you and I told you that

I just wanna be here. All day right in your arms. It’s fine by me. Don’t tempt me. I can’t. I have to be in court soon. Let me come with you. I can help you get through it. You would do that for me

with everything that my brother has done. I mean, the mayor still missing Abe’s or friends. He wouldn’t have even been in the hospital had it not been for Colin. He must be crazy to even wanna be seen out with me. And call me crazy. That was a two-way street. So was loyalty. You’ve been there for me. Like I said, why wouldn’t I be there for you?

Matt, I knew that you were trying to protect me, but you, um, I’m not trying. I’m succeeding Actually. You’re not, you’re not even being very clear right now. What exactly do you think is happening here? What, how, how, how, how am I taking advantage of Gwen? Oh, just stop. I know what you’re up to with your cheap grocery store flowers and your good manners, and your good looks and your good.

Okay, fine. I’ll give this one to you. Your great body. And you turn on the charm and suddenly the spectator is running this splashy front page sugarcoated profile about Salem’s latest Euro trash reject. In which you’re all, I know, I present as a narcissistic sociopath who wants to destroy the world, but deep down in just a cuddly teddy bear, God.

And this, this is what you’ve wanted all along, isn’t it? Von Liar, liar, pants on fire. All this great free publicity, Dimitri. Well, I will not stand idly by while you try and manipulate Gwen into giving you more and more, because lemme tell you she’s a real journalist and if she’s not gonna stand up for herself, then it falls on me.

Hmm.

Where does that leave us, Mr. Stark? I still sit down. Oh. Like you wouldn’t cheat, but go ahead. Kill me. If you must. At least I will go down knowing I was defending my best friend from your insulting and nefarious behavior.

My Commander Michaels, I’m insulted. Talk about baseless accusations safe act.

I know you have somebody in your sights right now. Who is it? Hope Kate, somebody else in town. Who’s in your way? Oh my look who’s come down with a terrible case of savior complex. So now your Salem self-appointed protector. Tell me, does the job come with a shiny tin badge, perhaps a Dakota rape? Somebody has to protect this town from you, and I’m proud to be the one to do it.

I owe the people a Salem that much after all the damage I did when I was under your control, and you were such a disappointment. Believe me, I’m about to become more disappointing to you.

You two,

what the hell is going on here?

Fuck mad. I simply stop by to express my thanks to Gwen for the story. That’s it. No ulterior motives, I swear. Right? Okay, Matty, you know you love best, right? And you know that I adore you, but sometimes you could be just a bit overzealous. And you can be dangerously dewy eyed and gullible at times. Gwen falling, shallowly.

Shallowly, is that a word? Shallowly. Shallowly. Pray to a man’s physical attributes, ignoring the fact that he’s a master manipulator with a heart of stone. Okay, that’s enough. Just Dimitri, as you recall. I’m sure. You remember yesterday I defended Matty and I think today he’s just trying to return the favor, return the favor way to downplay Guinevere.

I offered to die for you and he seems to forget that I am absolutely capable of taking care of myself, and that’s why your life has been such a better roses. You see Matty as a very loyal friend, so loyal. In fact, he sometimes passes the ability to take a hint. Not to mention my ability not to be fooled by a slick and slimy creep whose only attributed is that he looks like a cross between George Clooney and Ricky Martin.

Oh God. Look, look at the time, um, you have a deadline, don’t you? Yes. You have a column that you have to file now, right? Matty, right now I’ve got my eye on you. Tall, dark, and dangerous. Don’t forget it.

I’d like to apologize for my friend. He, um, sometimes has an overactive imagination. No, no. Um, actually I should be the one apologizing to you. You see? Now that we’re alone, I can tell you the truth that Sure. Odd little friend there. Well, he was absolutely right about me.

Uh, God. Sorry, Nicole. That was so insensitive. I’m just a little and no more than a little. Listen, I, I know it’s no excuse. I just had a really rough morning. Yeah. We’ll, join the club. What’s going on with you? It’s Shawn. Yeah, it’s uh, you heard what happened with his dad and how he was trying to save his mom and Yeah, I did.

And I also heard he is struggling with it. Yeah, that’s putting it mildly. And it’s just getting worse. So I thought I would bring him here to see my mom, but, um, you’re here alone. Well, I came anyway. Yeah. So I should probably go talk to her and get her thoughts on all of this. And, um, you don’t need to hear about my problems, but I am so sorry for what I just said about Eric.

I know it’s, it’s complicated. Okay.

Complicated. You have no idea.

So you think, Nicole, what she’s using you doesn’t have feelings for you? No, no, no. I’ve never said that. I’m, I’m just not confident that she loves me quite the same way that I love her. Why is that?

Oh, did you say the L word to her and she didn’t say it back, and how was that? Any of your concern? Well, just. Answer my question. It’s complicated. All right. Because of her past feelings for Eric Brady, though it might become less complicated now that he’s clearly moved on with that hateful lawyer that Baden noir of everyone of Salem.

You haven’t eaten a thing. Listen, I know you’re worried about your brother, but you got to eat so you can keep your strength up. This is not about Colin, it’s about you. Me. Did I do something wrong? No. No, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s about the offer you made me earlier when you said you’d go to court with me.

Well, it really touched me. I wanna support you because I love you. I love you too, Erin. Which is why I,

which is why what? Which is why I don’t want you to forget about the offer I made about us having a baby together. I haven’t forgotten. Why are you bringing him now? Oh, well, because you just do so much for me and I wanna do something for you. And that’s very kind and loving offer, but you have so much on your plate right now, and I don’t mean literally.

Seriously though, given everything that I’ve gone through and what you’re going through right now, I don’t think it’s the right time for us to have a baby. Why the hell not?

It’s starting to feel like Grand Central Station in here. I’m gonna have to talk to the staff about upgrading the locks. Whoa. Well, so much for being done with Megan Hathaway, right? Hmm? That’s Megan Demara. Who is it that you’re gonna take out next? Huh? Is she trying to get you to go after my mom again?

Hey, just slow down. It’s obvious you’ve been drinking. You g know you sound like my wife. You got, you got it wrong. Okay. I’m here to deal with Megan, not make a deal. We’re on the same side. Okay. And who, wait, who is it that asked you to do that? I, I, because I, I decide. I decide. I decide who’s on my side.

Okay. Thank you very much. Are you sure that you were sied by Bo Brady? Because you are absolutely nothing like him. Pathetic, drunk in little mansion. You’re the reason that I’m like this. Okay. How is it that you. How is it that you’re not in prison? Hey, how is it that you are walking around here free? Well, my parents after everything that you did to them, huh?

My mom and my dad. You keep your distance. Oh,

wait a second. Who’s the one that’s pathetic right now? Hmm? Who’s pathetic? Wait, are you scared, Maggie? Are you scared? Are you scared that you’re gonna have to pay for messing up my dad’s head and turning him into a zombie? Huh? Is that what you’re gonna, oh, come on, Shawn, let’s calm down. If you tell me where your dad is, I can go and apologize to him now.

Oh, wow. That’s That’s hilarious. That’s hilarious. An apology. An apology. Talk about a little too late you sadistic bitch. You know the minute, the minute that I thought of it, you were here. I knew, I knew that I needed to come here and I needed to do something. Yeah, Maggie, you know what? You, you were gonna pay, okay?

That is enough out of you, detective, unless you wanna have a bullet between your eyes.

Kate, what are you? He is dropping. Sorry, not sorry about letting in. So what did you hear? Well, I heard enough, although you girlfriend may not be a favorite of mine. That’s beside the point, which is, which is. Obviously you are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby. Something I know is very, very important to you.

So if there’s an offer, genuine one, why would you wait? Because it’s a serious decision. It’s not something you just rush right into, oh, blah, blah, blah, blah, boring. Okay. I know you’re trying to do the responsible thing, but, but life is messy. I mean, it can be joyous. It can be thrilling, and then it can be depressing as hell.

You still have to plunge in and embrace the chaos. I mean, if you’re always using all of your energy and time to logic through everything, opportunities are just gonna pass you by and you won’t even notice because you’ll be so busy trying to do everything the right way, and all of a sudden you’re gonna end up on a boat in the middle of the ocean, God knows where, cutting the heads off fish and wondering why you didn’t do all the things you wanted to do.

Well, tell us how you really feel. Yeah, cuz it’s not that simple. Oh, I never hold back. Oh yes. It is that simple. I know about McCall and EJ Roman filled me in. So what so what That it didn’t work out. Screw it. Why don’t you make something else work out? Because if you wait, all you’re gonna do is get older.

I mean, if there’s something you want really, really badly, you need to make that happen, and you need to make it happen now.

Hey, speaking from experience, although it has been a while, um, When a woman isn’t expecting to hear, I love you, it does take some time for her to process it. Therefore, she might not immediately respond in kind. Well, obviously Nicole did not. But in her defense, I was unaware that she was pregnant. She was unaware who the father was.

I, well, I, I don’t know this if this would be comforting to you in any way, but, um, I wouldn’t say I love you too, under those circumstances, but Nicole and I have known the truth that I’m the father for several days now and she hasn’t said it. Yep. Ej, she doesn’t know if she’s gonna carry this baby to term.

And she’s in a very stressful position, said, just don’t expect too much too soon,

Kristen, if I didn’t know better, ID think you were trying to be helpful to your brother. Are you actually offering me emotional support?

And if anyone asks. I will deny it.

Oh, maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. Dammit. If I hadn’t tried to warn Stephan, I’d be with her right now at the doctor’s appointment, finding out where we stand. Instead, I’m here waiting for the craziest mirror of all time to decide our fate.

I wouldn’t if I were you, commander Michaels, you stay exactly where you are. That’s a good boy, Shawn Brady, you pathetic little weasel. Here I am grieving the loss of my beloved bow, and all you can do is drown yourself in a bottle of booze. Not to mention looking around everywhere you can for someone else to blame for the bullet that you put into him.

I know. I know what I did and I hate myself for it. But you know what? But the truth is I would do it again. I would do it again if I knew that I was saving my mom’s life because I thought, I thought my dad was gonna kill her. I wish he had. You should have let him because we’d all be better off then.

That’s right. That’s right. Shawnee. Boy, back away and don’t you dare take another step. I waited years, years to have my beloved bow back. And you, you ruined it in an instant. Well, guess what? I can ruin you in an instant. Megan. I’m, I’m a witness. You pull that trigger and you go straight back to prison. You silly, silly boy.

There will not be a witness if I go this far besides. This man broke into my house and threatened me. I am well within my legal rights to end his pathetic little life right now. I just hope that it won’t permanently stain my carpet with your blood. It’s one of my favorites.

So you really were just using me to clean up your image, a very unsportsmanlike of you. No, no, no, no. I, I would, I would never do anything like that. What I meant was that your, um, well, your persistent and very, very loyal friend was right to assume that I did come here with, well, with an agenda, uh, with her.

Then what is it? The truth is that I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the day we met. That’s why I brought you these flowers,

Gwen, ever since I saw you at our family home, I just, I just felt something and ever since that day, I haven’t been able to get you outta my head and my heart. Forgive me, I, I’m sorry. I’m, I’m, I’m putting you on the spot. How could you possibly, well, how could you possibly have the same feelings for me?

What if I do.

You mean you, you actually have feelings for me.

You know, we had lunch the other day. I, I couldn’t believe how much we had in common, how alike we were. I. I thought I was being too obvious with my feelings. Honestly, must be my famous British Reserve for not showing it. Or maybe it was that my vision was just clouded by hope.

Well, I hope you’ve seen clearly now

watch closely.

Hey Sean. Come on. Stop Megan.

Okay. I know you think you got a case of self defense, but two dead bodies are gonna mess up whatever plans you have cooking, and we both know you always have something planned.

Good decision now. I’m gonna walk Shawn out. Shawn gonna walk out. You’re gonna put the gun down

and we all to fight another day. Let’s go. Sean, walk out. Let’s go.

Stupid Salem Protector. You are lucky. I need you for my plan. Still commander.

Which reminds me, what am I gonna do about those two down there?

Damn her. How long do you think she’s gonna let us stew down here? You tell me you are the one who’s been colluding with her. Okay. You know what? I owe you an apology for throwing in my lot with her. Well, in your defense, you had no idea. She made the bummer look like an older boy.

Ah man. When she cooked up that plan to escape from prison, I was determined not to get left behind. I just, it went along with the plan cuz I thought it was gonna be my only chance to get back with Rachel. I do understand that I. Oh, honestly, I mean, I didn’t mind plotting behind my siblings back. I mean, alls, alls fair and love and corporate governance, right.

God, I had no idea. She was such a crazy woman. Oh hell, she makes me look practically normal. Let’s hear it for normal. I’ll take that any day of the week. Hello? Hi Kayla. Can you sign a vj? No. I texted him a couple of times. Well, actually a couple thousand times, but I haven’t heard from him. He must be tied up somewhere.

Well, I’ll stay here with you so you don’t have to do this alone. All right. I just got another message from the doctor. She’ll be here in a few minutes. Oh, that’s great. I mean, at least we’ll find out one way or another what my chances are of carrying this baby to term.

You have to admit, I mean, everything Kate said makes sense. Oh, I always make sense. Excuse me. Okay. So if this guy needs further convincing, you’re going to have to handle that on your own because I have to go. But before I do, I have one more thing to say to you. You need to cease today. Okay? And I know that you know what that means, because you gave a sermon on that once when you were still wearing that funny little collar, remember?

Okay, look, I swear to you, I did not pay her to come and say all of that, but what do you think

here? Drink this. It’ll help.

After everything last night, I should have known you’d go after Megan today. I never should have let you leave like that. We could have shot you. Yeah. Well, I wish she had. Don’t say that. Listen, I would’ve taken that bullet. I would’ve taken that bullet because I deserve it. No, that is not true. Look at me.

Son, I love you.

I dunno, what am God’s name has she been doing up there this whole time? Who knows? Maybe she’s found someone else to terrorize. I just hope Stephen’s safe. Oh. God, I have a feeling that we’re gonna be down here for a long time. See? Might as well get used to it. There is no way in hell I’m getting used to this.

Oh, damn it. What Nicole? No, the appointment was an hour ago by now. She’s gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and I wasn’t by her side.

Nicole. Oh, oh. Hi. Everything. All right. Uh, yeah, you, I, I just came from that doctor that I told you about, the one that AJ arranged for us, the perinatologist, to see if I could carry the baby to term. Mm-hmm. What’d the doctor say? Well, I mean, as, as we suspected and, and of course I read up on this too, so I’m not really surprised, but there’s been so many changes since Holly was born and, and with the, uh, some new treatments, the doctor thinks.

The doctor thinks there’s very good chance. That’s great news. I’m happy for you and ej. Yeah, no, truly it’s, that’s wonderful news Nicole. And congratulations. We actually have some good news of our own too. We just discussed this a few minutes ago, but um, we’re gonna try and have a baby as well. Isn’t that great?

We’re gonna be pregnancy twins. It was thanks to Kate. Really, Kate? Yeah. She made me see that there’s no point in weighing around for something I really wanted.

So Shawn just stumbles in and blows up the whole thing. He was there to confront Megan. Obviously he was drunk, he was belligerent. Damnit. Damn it. So that’s it. You just canceled the whole thing. Well, I, I had no choice. She was gonna put a bullet in him. Well, of course she was going to put a bullet in him.

She’s a homicidal maniac. If we don’t stop her, she’s capable of putting a bullet in him. Hang on. Don’t worry. This is just a delay. When the time comes, I’m gonna go back and then you’ll never see or hear from Megan again.

All right, back to business. I know taking over the world was so labor intensive.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important?

Not as important as this? Oh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Elena: Your blood pressure is concerning and so is the pain. We’re gonna do everything that we can to get you more comfortable soon. What else can you tell me about your symptoms?

Sally: Um, my head is killing me and I’m nauseous and I have double vision.

Adam: And, uh, don’t forget about your breath, your oxygen intake.

Sally: Yeah. I’m having trouble catching my breath.

Elena: And has your ob-gyn put you on an anti-hypertensive protocol for preeclampsia?

Sally: Yes. And she told me to take it easy.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Adam: Sally. Sally.

[ Sally groaning in pain ]

Elena: Just breathe. Deep breaths. I told cameron to go to hell. What if he hurts faith or worse?

Nick: We’re not gonna let that happen, all right? We gotta stay positive.

Sharon: She has to be okay. She has to be okay, nick.

Nick: She will be, all right? She’s our miracle, remember?

Sharon: Okay. How are we gonna find her? We don’t know where cameron’s keeping her.

[ Knock on the door ]

Nick: Who is it?

Chance: It’s chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: Oh, man. He really nailed you. Yeah?

Nick: Yeah. So he got away through some tunnel he made in the house. I tried to chase after him, but he caved it in so I couldn’t follow him.

Chance: Are you hurt? Did he hurt you?

Sharon: No. He just bragged about how he outsmarted us all so he could get me alone.

Chance: Okay. Well, nick, you were right. He wanted us to think that he was holding faith at that garage. What else did he say?

Sharon: He said that he loved me and that we were meant to be together. He promised me that he would not hurt faith if I went away with him and I agreed to do it.

Nick: Then I showed up.

Sharon: Thank god.

Nick: He got away. We have no idea where he went or where he’s keeping faith.

Sharon: What do we do? How do we find her? We may have made things worse. Cameron left here even more unhinged.

Chance: Well, we know he always has a plan. We just gotta think like he does.

Nick: It’s a scary thought.

Chance: Yeah. So that’s why I’m hoping this, his suitcase, will help us find out where he is keeping faith.

Sharon: This is where you found the property deed to the garage?

Chance: Yeah. I’m hoping I missed something. Maybe a real clue.

Sharon: This was all part of cameron’s plan to fool us, wasn’t it?

Nick: There’s nothing in here. I doubt he’s read this.

Sharon: Wait, what’s this?

Cameron: You deserve better, faith. Your mom lets you down. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Cameron: God, you really are as beautiful as your mom.

[ Cameron chuckling ] Here I was all set to be nice. I mean, it’s not your fault your mom’s a bitch, is it? And all I’ve done is love her. For 20 years, that’s all I’ve done. Her heart, her mind, her face.

[ Cameron chuckling ] “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” God, I’m sorry about that. You know, the night I met sharon, I looked into her eyes and I knew she was the only woman for me. At that moment, I knew I couldn’t live without her. God knows I tried. Well, love is love. Fate is fate, right? So, I made my way back to her, ready to give myself to her completely. And what does she do? She lies through her teeth. She leads me on. She tells me exactly what I wanna hear. And then the moment that my back is turned, she stabs me in the back! You got any idea what that feels like? To give everything to someone? To bleed for them, to kill for them? And then they just dismiss you. Just treat you like you are garbage.

[ Cameron sniffing ] God, help me. God, I still love her.

Sharon: It’s a false bottom. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my god. This is mine. Cameron went through my things.

Nick: He was in your bedroom.

Chance: What’s this?

Nick: Yeah. These are the schematics of the genoa city sewer system. Hey, look, this tunnel right here, that goes right under the ranch.

Chance: That explains how he got on the property and into your house.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sharon: Unknown caller.

Chance: All right. This could be it.

Sharon: Where is she?

Cameron: You broke my heart, sharon.

Sharon: Where is faith? Is she okay?

Cameron: She’s not too happy. I told her what you did, how you treated me. She expects more from you.

Sharon: Don’t you touch her, cameron. I wanna hear her voice.

Cameron: Yeah, that’s, um, that’s not possible.

Sharon: Why? What have you done? Is she okay?

[ Faith whimpering ]

Cameron: She’s alive for now.

Sharon: Let me talk to her. I need to know that she’s all right.

Cameron: Kid’s sure got your fire, that’s for sure.

Sharon: Cameron, please, please, just let her go. I’ll do whatever you want, okay? Please.

Cameron: Oh, please. Now with the pleases? Little late for that, isn’t it?

Sharon: You promised that you wouldn’t hurt her.

Cameron: Yeah. And you promised me the world.

Sharon: Cameron, what– what do you want? Do you want me to come to you? You want me to run away with you? I will. I’ll do it. I swear. Just let her go, please.

Cameron: Well, and I should trust you? Words dripped outta your mouth like honey. And every one of them was a lie.

Sharon: I want my daughter!

Cameron: Well, you’ll get your daughter back. I just can’t guarantee the condition. Looks like the poor kid’s running outta oxygen.

Nick: Let her go, damn it!

Cameron: Even your useless hero, nick, can’t help you now. You picked the wrong horse, sharon. You turned your back on true love. You wanna find your child? She’ll be in the place where you expected to find my dead body all those years ago.

Sharon: Cameron, wait–

Adam: You see how much pain she’s in. I mean, isn’t there something that you can do for her?

Elena: We’re gonna do everything we can for her. Sally, I’m gonna contact your obgyn so I can get up to speed. I’ll know more once I speak to her, okay?

Sally: Okay.

Adam: Thank you.

Elena: Okay. I will be right back, but something tells me you’re in good hands.

[ Sally wincing with pain ]

Sally: Oh, this is not going as planned.

Adam: I know.

[ Sally wincing ]

Sally: Oh, I’m so scared.

Adam: Hey, hey, hey. Okay. It’s– hey, let’s not go there, okay? We are surrounded by professionals and they’re gonna give you the best possible care and they’re gonna take care of you and they’re gonna take care of our baby.

Sally: Yeah. What if I did this?

Adam: Sally, no. Okay? Stop.

Sally: I was so stressed out about nick and– and I insisted that we go out to eat and you told me that I should stay in and–

Adam: No, no, sally. Okay. Stop. You don’t get to blame yourself.

Sally: But I couldn’t sleep. Maybe I didn’t take my medication on time or–

Adam: Sally, stop. You did everything right, okay? This is just an unexpected blip. Everything is gonna work out.

[ Sally groaning in pain ] Can I get you some water? Hey, we’re having a– a summer baby. You know what that means, right? The holidays are right around the corner.

Sally: Oh, they are not.

Adam: They are if you plan ahead, and you know what? Halloween is first up. Our little girl, she’s gonna need a pretty sweet costume. I mean, what do you think? Ghost? Ghoul? Maybe a fairy princess? It’s kind of a tough decision. And then it’s gonna be thanksgiving and we’re gonna be making pumpkin pie with her.

Sally: Yeah. I know how much making those pies meant to you with your mom. And you said that she always wanted to make the holiday special.

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Even if it was just the two of you.

Adam: Some of my best memories ever.

Sally: Oh, we are definitely gonna make those pies. There’s only one problem.

Adam: [ Laughing ] What?

Sally: I’ve never been good at baking.

[ Both laughing ]

Adam: Oh, well, we are– we’re gonna fix that.

Sally: What if we can’t fix this, adam?

Elena: Okay. Dr. Chandler is on her way. In the meantime, I’m gonna give you an iv bag of magnesium sulfate.

Adam: Ooh, that– hey, that sounds pretty delicious.

Sally: What is that?

Elena: It’s an anticonvulsive medication to help lower your blood pressure.

Sally: Is it safe for the baby?

Elena: Yes, it’s safe for both you and the baby, but there is something else.

Sally: What?

Elena: We’re concerned about the severity of your symptoms. They could indicate the possibility of hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes or a low platelet count. And all of these things can be life-threatening to both you and the baby. So with that said, there is a chance that we may have to induce labor. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Sally: It’s way too early for labor. The baby isn’t ready.

Elena: Sally, this is our most viable option. The longer we wait, the higher the risk for you and the baby.

Adam: Whatever the doctor says.

Elena: Adam, can you please excuse us? I’m gonna give sally a quick exam.

Sally: Can you please just call nick and tell him that I’m here and ask him to come?

Adam: I will call him. Just focus on taking care of yourself and our little girl.

Sally: Okay. God, you had no idea what you were getting yourself into when you told him you’d look out for me.

Adam: He didn’t need to ask, sally. I would’ve been here right by your side no matter what.

Sally: You’re the best.

Adam: Just trying to be a good co-parent.

Sally: Am I allowed to be scared now?

Adam: Just a little. Only ’cause the relief will be that much more profound. I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be right here, okay?

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: Adam… hope is a beautiful name.

[ Sally sobbing ]

Chance: Sharon, what did he say?

Sharon: He has faith in the sewer somewhere. He mentioned something about her running out of oxygen.

Nick: How? What the hell has he done to her?

Sharon: I don’t know. But I do know that he has completely lost his mind and we need to get to faith before it’s too late.

Chance: He’s right here. We can enter through there.

Nick: Here too. We come in from both sides, we cut off any escape route.

Chance: I’ll take a team in from the north. You take victor’s guys, go south.

Nick: Yeah, let’s do it.

Sharon: You’re not going anywhere without me.

Nick: Sharon, no. No, it’s too dangerous.

Sharon: I know him better than either of you. I know how his mind works. I know how deranged he is. I know what he’s capable of. If he is still with faith and he feels threatened in any way, he’ll– look, faith cannot be hurt because of my mistakes.

Nick: She’s not gonna be hurt.

Sharon: He does not bluff. He will kill her. I need to get to cameron right away. I need to be the one to end this.

Cameron: Fertile plain. That’s what the name sharon means, you know that? Imagine the kids we could have had. I used to think about that. A pack of kids. I always hoped that one of ’em would be a little girl like you, but now, I guess we’ll never know. But let me tell you something. You could help me with your mom. You– you– you– you could explain to her that I– I– I only did what needed to be done to remind her of our love, to make her understand that we– we belong together. You get that, right? You do it, we could be a real family. We could hang out. We could go on vacations. I guarantee that you can learn to love me at least as much as you– you think that you love your real dad. Sorry about your cat, by the way. That’s on your mom. Ignoring me like that, I had to do something to get her attention. I– I’ll– I’ll buy you a new cat if you want one. Any kind you want. Ground rules. You play nice, I take the gag off. Give you some water. We got a deal? All right. Come here. Ah, there you go. Hey, I’m not that scary. You know, your mom takes care of people. She’s– she’s kind and warm. She’s not– she’s not afraid to speak her mind. That’s part of her charm. Even when she, uh,

[ Laughing ] Even when she does it with a champagne bottle to the back of the head. You’re lucky you got such a great mom. Too bad you got such a son of a bitch for a dad.

Faith: My dad is the best.

Cameron: Really? I take your gag out and those are the first words outta your mouth? How about thank you?

Faith: He’s the best man that I know.

Cameron: Oh, really? Is that why he cheated on your mom? Broke her heart how many times? I would never do that.

Faith: You will never even be half the man that he is.

Cameron: Hey, big mouth. Don’t make me sorry I took that gag out. I’m trying to be nice. Here.

Faith: How do I know that it isn’t poisoned?

Cameron: Satisfied? Look, I’m sorry about all this. Dragging you down here. Whole thing got outta hand.

Faith: Then stop it. You can stop this.

Cameron: I didn’t start it! Nick newman did. Daddy. All because I adore a woman that he’s not man enough to love the way she needs to be. And again, I guess the course to true love was never smooth. I mean, think about it. There’s really only one bump in the road to– to– to sharon and I being together and that’s nick. Nick’s really the only one who needs to die. And then… I could be your dad. And I can love you and your mom and make you happy for the rest of your life. Here, come here. Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Drink, drink, drink, drink. Okay, there you go. You should not have done that. -Fixed. -That’s my son.

Adam: Nick, look, I know you have your hands full, but, um, you need to know sally’s in the hospital. It’s serious. Um, her doctor is– is on the way, so she wanted me to call you. So call me, let me know that you got this and tell me when you’re on your way.

[ Adam sighing ] Just… let them be okay. They don’t deserve this. Do what you want with me, but just leave them alone.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victor: Son, what’s going on?

Adam: Have you spoken to nick? I’ve been trying to get in touch with him.

Victor: He’s dealing with that slime ball cameron kirsten. Why are you looking for him?

Adam: Look, if you talk to him, tell him to give me a call. I don’t care how late it is.

Victor: Wait a minute, son. Is there something wrong with sally and the baby?

Adam: I gotta go.

Elena: Adam.

Adam: How’s sally?

Elena: Situation’s taken a turn.

Adam: What does that mean?

Elena: Sally is unconscious.

Adam: What! What happened?

Elena: The medication isn’t working. Her blood pressure’s too high and she’s at an extreme risk for placental abruption. That is when the placenta separates itself from the inner wall of the uterus. It can be fatal to both her and the baby.

Adam: Fatal?

Elena: Adam, there is no easy way to say this, but if we are to save the baby, we need to take her now. But there is a chance that we could lose sally during the procedure. So I need you to make a choice. Do we save the baby or do we save the mother?

Cameron: You little bitch!

Faith: Is that my mother’s?

Cameron: Faith, you are trying my patience.

Faith: And you’re crazy.

Cameron: What did you say to me? What did you say to me? Don’t you ever say that again. You understand me?

Faith: What is it you expect to get from this? Why are you doing it?

Cameron: It’s destiny, fate, kismet. It doesn’t happen like it does in a book or a movie. Where– where– where it all just comes together in one some kind of a big, big cosmic event. In real life, you’ve gotta– you’ve gotta grab it and you hold it. And the more hopeless it becomes, the harder you work. All I’m doing here is I’m manifesting my destiny and sharon’s because she has forgotten what we mean to each other. Nick, nick got in her head and he turned her against me. And now I need to remind her of how much she loves me.

Faith: I know the men that my mother has loved. You are not one of them. You never will be. If you love her, why are you trying to take her away from her happiness? The life that she has.

Cameron: What life? She slings coffee to a bunch of losers. She needs love. The kind of love that only I can give her. The kind of love she begged for.

Faith: You beat her.

Cameron: Faith, you need to shut up.

Faith: It’s the truth! You’re a monster!

Cameron: Little girl, I’m warning you. Shut your mouth or I will–

Faith: Or what? You’ll hit me?

[ Rustling ]

Cameron: Sounds like showtime.

Faith: Mom, dad, don’t come any closer! It’s a trap! Please run! B-dubs’ sweet chile lime sauce has 3 perfect ingredients.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: What? You want me to choose between sally and our baby? I can’t make that decision.

Elena: I understand how difficult this choice is. This is where we are.

Adam: Come on. There– there has to be something that you can do. I mean, can’t you– you– you delay the c-section? You could stabilize sally and– and our baby.

Elena: I wish that were the case, but the baby is in distress. And if the placenta removes itself from the uterus, sally could hemorrhage and bleed to death.

Adam: And you want me to decide this right now? Right now, who lives and who dies? No, I can’t do that, okay?

Elena: I am so sorry, but time is of the essence.

[ Adam exhaling ]

Adam: Can I have a few minutes with sally, please? Please.

Elena: Two minutes.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: You know, I still remember the first time that I knew for sure that you were gonna turn my life upside down in the best way possible.

[ Adam exhaling ] How do I do this, sally? I’m the guy that screws up everything. Like when I broke up with you for your own good. How stupid was that? God, I’m the last guy that should be making life or death decisions. I need you to wake up.

[ Adam sniffling ] Come on, I need you– I need you to wake up and do that bossy thing that you do. And tell me how to handle this. I know what you would want.

Elena: Adam, it’s time. We have to move sally to the or. Have you made a decision? Adam, if you’re not able to make this call, the doctors will.

Adam: Wait!

Victor: Nick? Sharon?

Nikki: My god, what happened here?

Victor: I just got a call from adam. He was rather distraught. He was looking for nicholas and couldn’t get an answer. So, I came by to see if there’s a problem. Obviously, there is.

Nikki: Why was he trying to get ahold of nicholas?

Victor: I bet you it has to do with sally and the baby.

Nikki: Well, the fact that nicholas didn’t respond is concerning.

Victor: And that has to do with cameron kirsten, I bet you. I bet you, okay?

Nikki: Look at this place. What on earth? This. Oh, my god. Victor.

Victor: Son, as soon as you get this message, call me back. I wanna know where the hell you are.

Sharon: Oh, my god. Faith!

Faith: Mom, be careful. Cameron was just here. He’s gotta be close.

Sharon: Or he ran like the coward that he is. Let’s get you out of here. Are you okay? Did he hurt you? Did he touch you in any way?

Faith: I’m okay. But he’s next level insane.

Sharon: Oh, gosh. I’m so sorry about this.

Faith: He kept talking about how much he loved you. How dad ruined his chances to be with you.

Sharon: There was no chance of anything. He’s a complete psychopath. He is. He always was. Damn it!

Faith: We’ve gotta get outta here, mom. I think he knew that you were coming. He must have set up a trap. He was working on something over there.

Sharon: Okay, done. Go! Let’s get you out.

Nick: Oh, thank god.

Faith: Dad!

Nick: Come on. Let’s get you outta here. Come on. Come on.

Cameron: Not so fast, sweetie. You didn’t live this strong, this long to get put

Adam: How is sally? Is she okay?

Elena: It was touch and go, but we got through the worst of it. I was able to stabilize her.

Adam: And, uh, our baby?

Elena: Adam… there was no way to save them both. I’m so sorry.

Victor: Why wasn’t I informed when nicholas and sharon left the premises?

Guard: They went with the rescue team and detective chancellor. With the police involved I didn’t think it was necessary.

Victor: You answer to me. You don’t answer to my son. You don’t answer to the damn cops! You keep me apprised.

Guard: I’m sorry.

Victor: Get the hell out of here. You’re fired! Now!

Nikki: Victor, it’s the sewer system. He’s taken them down there again. No, no, no, no, no, no. Where are you going?

Victor: To look for my son and my granddaughter.

Nikki: Victor, please don’T. It’s too dangerous.

Victor: It’s my family, sweetheart.

Nikki: Victor!

[ Door closes ] Oh, my god.

Faith: Mom!

Nick: Let her go.

Cameron: Nah, we’re good. Ain’t that right, baby? So nick, does this make you feel uncomfortable seeing her in my arms like this? ‘Cause feels pretty good from here. Just like old times. Isn’t that right?

Nick: You bastard.

Cameron: Ah! Don’t move.

Nick: Let her go!

Cameron: Or what? What are you gonna do? You can’t punch me. You– you can’t throw me out of an airplane. You know that’s your problem, nick. You think a fist solves everything.

Sharon: Cameron, please, we can resolve this, okay?

Cameron: Really? Really? Cheek to perfect cheek and you’re gonna try and shrink me? You’re gonna talk me down? What do you think? I’m stupid? Let me tell you something, I’m in control here. Not you and not him! Me!

Faith: Don’t hurt her.

Cameron: Love hurts, faith. That is just a sad fact of life. One that your father is about to truly understand.

Nick: You know I’m the one you wanna hurt. You let sharon and faith go and then you and I solve this right here, man to man.

Cameron: Oh, man to man. Like you even know what that means. You know, buddy, I’m tired of this conversation. You got a choice to make, nick.

Nick: What choice?

Cameron: A simple one. You’re gonna choose who lives and who dies. Faith or sharon. And if you can’t make a decision, you lose both.

Nick: Faith is free. She can just leave. Dad’s security team there are a couple hundred yards down this tunnel. You go to them. Chance and the police have the other exit blocked off. Go now. Go!

Cameron: Hey, hey, hey, hey, not so fast. Hey, nick, take a peek under her sweatshirt. You’ll find something interesting. Surprise. So here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna blow faith into pieces or I’m gonna slit sharon’s throat and we can watch her bleed out. It’s your call. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Sally: You’re here.

Adam: Hey, I told you I wasn’t going anywhere.

Sally: Thank you.

Adam: Oh, you had me worried. I even prayed. Well, sort of, but it’s, um, it’s gonna be okay, sally.

Sally: The baby… how is she?

Cameron: Sharon or faith? What’s it gonna be?

Nick: You son of a bitch!

Cameron: Yeah, I am a son of a bitch. But so are you. You took everything from me. My life, my freedom, the woman I love and you lost nothing. You just kept living your life. The golden little rich boy. Well, guess what? I’m tired of losing, nick. It’s your turn. You got 30 seconds and I swear to god I’ll kill them both.

Nick: You hurt either one of them and I promise you, you will not leave this room alive.

Cameron: Oh, come on, man. You don’t think I know how this ends? I’m not walking outta here. But I swear, I am gonna destroy your life before I go. Say a name, nick. Come on, boy. The clock is ticking. Say a name! Say a name or I swear to god I will kill them both! Five, four–

[ Groaning ] God! You bitch!

Chance: Get on the ground! Cameron, get your hands up and on the ground!

Cameron: Sharon.

[ Groaning ] Ow.

[ Chuckling ] How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

[ Groaning ]

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Billy: That’s from traci? “Calling a family meeting. No excuses.” You get the same thing?

Ashley: Yeah. What happened?

Adam: Do you need the doctor?

Sally: [ Sobbing ] No! I want her! I want her, adam. But you let her die. You’re the reason that she’s dead.

Chance: Well, before we take this off, the explosives are gonna have to be carefully deactivated one by one.

Nick: And you can do that, right?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Dice rattling ] It looks like the tide is turning. Not so fast, hamilton. You talking to yourself? Uh… what do you want to hear? What? No friends? Well, that, and tracy’s back in town, and I’m practicing. You know, I-I can’t let her beat me. Obviously. I mean, she’s impossible to deal with with normal circumstances. If she got a win — I gotta stay on my toes. Well, maybe I can help. I keep forgetting this place serves earl gray by default. I’m not a fan of earl gray. Okay. So take it back. They’ll give you something else. I’m not gonna take it back. Okay, martyr. Why are you so cranky? Somebody on your mind? If you are referring to D.A. Scorpio, no. Holly left town. Robert told me himself. That sounds good. Isn’t it? He couldn’t say when or if she’d ever return. Sounds like a win to me. She’s gone. He’s here. So are you. I know you have a lot going on right now. I wouldn’t call if it wasn’t important. Did you get arrested again? No. But I do need your help. With what? Exposing gladys corbin. Here I am. Half an hour late. I’d imagine it takes time to get all suited up. And the hand washing. But that is not what distracted me. I got held up by an e-mail. I have no concept of time in this room. I’m just glad you’re here. Me too. You look so much better. Thanks. I don’t want to sound insensitive, but your eyes look a little bit red. Have you been crying? Time to rethink deception’s concealer formula. Sasha, what’s going on? I was crying because of nina. Any news from the pikeman camp? Ah, good. Yeah, just keep me posted. And, dex, um… look, it’s important that sonny thinks things are status quo. I still don’t want him to know that we had any connection.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Okay. Michael. How’s willow doing? Hey. Well, she’s — she’s holding her own. Sasha’s in there with her right now. Wait. So no more phones? Yeah. Yeah. We still have to wear masks and gowns, though, to keep the room sterile, but, yeah, she’s only allowed one visitor at a time. Well, that’s great. I mean, I’m sure she’ll appreciate the human contact. Yeah. Uh, what about you? I’m actually trying to avoid human contact. Yeah, everybody’s gathered up on the 10th floor waiting on word about ned, and I don’t really want to get in the way of, um… of, uh, yeah, brook lynn’s sweet granny tracy?

[ Door opens ] How is he? Dr. Ashford said that it’s about time to bring ned out of his twilight sleep. Well, that sounds hopeful. Is it hopeful?


You know what’s, um… you know what’s amazing is, this — this game that we’re playing, backgammon, I mean, it dates back more than 5,000 years. Didn’t realize I was in for a history lesson. Please enlighten me. Well, they say — that was lucky — gilgamesh, you know, the mesopotamian king that was searching for immortality, he would play. Well, I guess he’d want to do something if he was going to live forever. Right? Right? And then, you know, big-time — big-time player? Cleopatra. Oh, wow. And maybe the best of all, lucille ball. Yeah. Lucy and sammy davis, they would just take over these big hollywood parties and just sit down and start playing backgammon. I hope you’re not trying to distract me with all this incredible information and dazzling charm. The dazzling charm, it just — it comes naturally. The backgammon history is, you know, just a bonus. Mm, I see. So you’re a charmer and a nerd. You know, that’s a winning combination. I’m — I’m sorry. Did you just call me nerd? Oh. Wow. You just beat the nerd. I think I like this game. Robert told me that his complicated life just got less complicated. And isn’t that attractive? Anyway, and then our conversation became a whole lot more complicated after olivia quartermaine walked over and started pressing robert for inside information on the sec case and was there a possible deal on the table where my client carly could give up my client sonny. And you were all ears, weren’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Well, of course I was. Robert didn’t seem to appreciate that. I… I just don’t know if we’re compatible. You really like those bad-boy clients, don’t you? I like the bad-boy clients?

[ Coughing ] Jerry jacks.

[ Coughing ] Julian jerome.

[ Coughs mockingly ] Okay, stop. Everyone to their corners. Okay. Fine.

[ Chuckles ] Anyway, none of this is what I wanted to talk to you about, anyway. -No? -No. Okay. I am consulting on a new case, and I need your great wisdom. Have you ever heard of bitzecure? Bitsecure? No, no, no — Z. Bitzecure. It’s cryptocurrency. Oh, I — no. Cryptocu– I don’t do that. I know. Well, neither do I, but just stay with me. It’s a digital-currency security startup, and our client is the C.F.O. Who is being accused of stealing the keys to a big wallet, which has somehow gone missing. A big wallet? Yeah, but it’s — it’s not a real wallet. It’s a — it’s a digital wallet. And he says he’s being framed by the C.E.O., Who is apparently a real “crypto bro,” according to my associate. Well, that’s a “he said, he said.” The wife of the crypto bro C.E.O. Says she actually witnessed our client downloading funds, so it’s a “he said, she said, he said.” Well, it sounds like you don’t believe the “she said.” So, do you have any evidence? Mnh-mnh. That’s the issue. The security is all in the digital ether, so there’s no paper trail. It’s — it’s keystrokes and clicks, and, no, I don’t believe her. And according to my associate, her husband is a real shark. So where does the shark swim, and what does the shark eat? Are you having a stroke? What are you talking about? Hunger. I may not know anything about tech bros, but I know something about bros. And if it were me, I would be looking into the proclivities and the extracurricular activities of this certain C.E.O., And you might find something that his wife doesn’t like. And if she is going out on a limb for a lying cheater, or worse, she might think twice. Alexis davis, you are yummy and brilliant and devious. All’s fair in love and law.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I’ll fill you in when you get here. I’m at the stables. Thanks again, sam. Does your case really look that bad? No one can disprove gladys’s claim that I stole that bracelet. Well, hang in there. You have the full support of my entire family. Granny aside, we’d hate to lose you. You mean leo would. No, we’d all miss you. We’ve all gotten used to having you around, especially leo.

[ Sighs ] You’d miss me if I went to prison, wouldn’t you, boy? Apparently, there’s a few people out there who would. Don’t worry, comet. I won’t let gladys get rid of me that easily. The hope is that the induced sedation allowed ned’s brain to rest, preventing any further swelling and even decreasing it. “The hope” — that’s carefully worded. We medical professionals are discouraged from giving blanket assurances. But I can tell you that ned’s medical team is cautiously optimistic. Thank you. Okay. So, uh, what’s next? We’ll wake him up and further evaluate his cognitive state. I was — I was told that there was a slight chance that, uh… that there would be some lasting effects. Like what? We’re getting ahead of ourselves. Instead of rattling off a list of possible complications, why don’t we start with removing ned’s I.V. Sedation and go from there?


Miss it, don’t you? Miss what? Being a lawyer. I can hear it. Miss it? Being a lawyer is like voluntarily signing up to go into battle with an army of paperwork and legal jargon. It’s like navigating a perverse maze of precedents and cases that have no mercy. Yes, but — but cracking the case, wiping the smug grin off the face of opposing counsel. You never did that to me, of course, but then there’s winning, winning, winning! Pages and pages and pages of statutory law that you have to memorize only to find out that it’s just been revised. It’s like putting together a giant puzzle. No sleep. You get no sleep. You have no life because you know that you have to be in court for the next 20 days in a row. That’s why we have caffeine. Only to watch an innocent person be exonerated and order restored to a chaotic world. Oh, my god. I miss it so much. It’s like losing a limb. I miss arguing in court. I love to argue. And — and the thrill of advocating for justice.

[ Breathes deeply ] Oh. That’s who I am. Yeah. I got to be doing it, diane. I can’t just stand on the sidelines and watch. You mean like a reporter? Sam: Cody? This better be important. I have to get back to the hospital. Yeah. How’s ned? Uh, leo and brook lynn were here earlier. So was, uh, tracy. Oh. You met tracy. Yeah, it was quite the experience. Although, you know, she’s a mother who’s worried about her son. You know, they’re all worried. Yeah, exactly. Dante is worried. We were at the hospital supporting his mother. So if you wouldn’t mind just keeping this brief, what’s your plan? Okay. Well, that’s what I need your help with. Uh, wait. I thought you needed help executing a plan, not brainstorming the whole damn thing. Help’s help, sam. You’ve never had problems executing your own schemes before. Okay. Way harsh. Besides, you have proximity to the corinthos family.

You could gain inside knowledge on gladys a hell of a lot easier than I could. Besides, you’re the only one who knows the whole story and believes me. No, I do not know the whole story. You never told me gladys’s motive for framing you. But you do believe me, right? Nina made you cry? What has she done now? No, no, it’s not what you think. These are tears of joy. I’m in a parallel universe. Nina sparked joy?

[ Chuckles ] Very funny. You must be feeling better. I’m just trying to process. I know that your relationship with nina has been… disastrous. Fraught. But — and this is all my fault, but there was a time when nina and I were at odds. Remember? And now you’ll tell me again how that’s all changed? It has changed. Nina just wrote me the most wonderful letter of recommendation to end my guardianship. Sasha, that’s great. I’m so proud of you. Thank you. I am finally ready to move forward. How about you? So, tracy’s putting you through the paces, huh? Oh, yeah. Now I know how comet feels. You know, she’s not as bad as she seems. Really, really, look, when the chips are down, she loves her family, and she’s — she’s extremely loyal. Maybe — maybe too loyal. But she loves brook lynn. Even though they have this whole love-hate thing going on. Yeah. But brook lynn can hold her own. It’s actually kind of fun to watch. Oh. Well, it looks like someone’s getting desensitized to the quartermaine ways. Never. Do you know what I want to know, though? How are you holding up through all this? Honestly, it’s a — it’s a bit of a roller coaster. But we’re getting to the other side. I’m just very, very thankful for, uh, the nanny, because with wiley’s endless energy and trying to keep amelia on track, it’s a — it’s a nonstop juggling act. Yeah, I can’t imagine that. It’s got to take a lot of strength and patience, especially while worrying about willow. How long is this gonna take? What, do you have a pickleball championship? Why don’t you go wait outside with dante and leo, okay? Tj said it could be 20 minutes, it could be a few hours. You’re acting like a 6-year-old on a road trip. Just stop. Where is the doctor? Can’t they be doing more? What happened to the quartermaine name? Monica has let this place run down. Seriously, you cannot sit in your own son’s icu room without complaining about everything? He’s used to it. It’s just like home. Dad? I rest my case. Sweetheart? We’re here.


So today is the last day of being just… nurse baldwin. How does it feel? Feels good. It feels good. Obviously, I’m happy to have been chosen for this position, but I just hope I can do some good, you know? Maybe bring some healing to this hospital. Lord knows it can use it after losing epiphany. Yeah. I mean, it’S… hard on everyone, but I think you’re the right person to do it. Bring back a little of that humanity that we all need. Thank you. Welcome. I keep telling myself that this is not about me, this is about my service to the patients and all the staff who work so hard. I have been linked to this hospital my entire life. I mean, my grandfather was dr. Hardy, the symbol of virtue, the true hero of general hospital. It’s in this place that I have had my highest highs. And my lowest lows. This place has put me back together more times than I care to count. And let’s not forget all the legends of the nurses’ station. There’s jessie brewer and bobbie spencer and epiphany. Sometimes I wonder if I’m strong enough to be like them. No, you are strong. In the end, you might be the strongest of them all. I bailed you out, remember? If I thought you were a thief, I wouldn’t have bothered. Thanks. You know what? Maybe it’s best if we do handle this legally. Why don’t you ask dante for help? I didn’t want to compromise him. Wait. What? But compromising me, not a problem? Well, I mean, I could just skip town, but then you’d be out your bail money. No, I would find you in a heartbeat. I have no doubt. Ah. Just kills me that sasha doesn’t know who gladys really is. Which is why we need to prove that that bracelet was planted. Sasha needs to know that gladys corbin can’t be trusted. Uh… so does port charles. Let’s just focus on keeping you out of jail, please. Let’s not bite off more than we can chew. Comet says, “why limit ourselves?” My heart breaks a little every single time there’s this — this moment with amelia and willow’s not there to experience it. I mean, the other day, amelia, she — she looked up at me, and she smiled at me for the first time, like she really saw me. And it was — it was incredible, chase. It really was. But willow, she wasn’t there. She — she was here. You know, I try to record everything I can on my phone, but it’s not the same. Willow, she — she — she needs to be there, you know, experiencing it firsthand to see the look on amelia’s face light up. It’s time that she’ll never get back. She’ll be able to watch those videos forever, and she will treasure every single one of them even more because she will know that you took the time to record when you were going through your own hell. I just met with dr. Montague. He’s the psychiatrist the court appointed to evaluate me. And…how’d it go? Pretty good, I think. It’s hard to know for sure. Well, I am sure dr. Montague was very impressed. Why wouldn’t he be? You’ve survived things that would’ve broken anyone else. You’re one to talk. Well, having the support of friends and family has made all the difference. Same. And like it or not, willow, but nina was a big part of that for me. She was there for me when I gave her every reason to hate me. I pretended to be the thing that she wanted more than anything. She was searching for her daughter. And what valentin and i did was horrible. But nina somehow found the strength and love to forgive me. And that could not have been easy. Sasha, I see what you’re doing, but nina has put me and the family I love through the wringer. Some things just can’t be forgiven.


Time for a hardy to be in charge again. I mean, your gram was a legend in her own right. I mean, this is… it’s kind of your destiny. Those are some big shoes to fill. Well, if the shoe fits, cinderella… and I’M… I’m sorry I couldn’t join your celebration last night. Couldn’t or wouldn’t? I realize girls’ night out isn’t for everyone, but, uh, we missed you. “We”? I missed you. Yeah? Well, hopefully there’ll be many more celebrations, but I know you needed a night out with your best friends. I would like to think you’re one of them. No doubt about it. Oh, thank god! I’ve been praying so hard. I knew that you would wake up! Oh, olivia, back off. His brain’s been deprived of enough oxygen. Sweetheart, say something. Don’t rush him. Water. Water. Water. Okay. You got it. Okay. I got it. Okay, here you go. Here you go. You got it.

[ Chuckles ] That was fast. I wouldn’t expect anything less. Welcome back. You know why you’re in the hospital?

[ Laughs ] That dig was duly noted, by the way. That dig was meant with no disrespect. Oh, of course not. And just so you know, you’re not the only person I complain to about my job. While you were chatting it up at the savoy with robert’s ex, I was complaining to felicia about my job. You? Complain? All right. I believe in free press. I believe in reporters. And maybe my passion for complaining ju fuels that commitment.

[ Sighs ] I just wish I were more fulfilled at the invader. But…? Well… I mean, I sometimes make a difference. I sometimes shine a light on a story that’s important. But those stories hardly ever happen. I mean, for every impactful story, there’s a gazillion mundane, stupid ones about celebrity gossip or… fashion. It’s like finding a needle of significance in a haystack of triviality. It’s not exactly woodward and bernstein. Hardly. Or maybe I’m just spreading myself too thin and I need to take advantage of my support team, you know, and do some serious outreach. Yes. Your support team. That now includes —

[ Clears throat ] — The wonderful esme prince. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right, chase. I, uh… I need to focus on the future. Because once willow’s released, we’ll have the rest of our lives to make more moments — together. And you will. But until then, don’t forget to send a flare up when things get tough. Your friends are here. We want to help. Thanks. I will tell you one thing, though. Despite all the angst and the craziness with the kids, man, I would not trade being a father for anything. I can see that. So, what about you? You ever think about children? Wow. Talk about turning the tables. That a touchy subject? No, no, of course not. I mean, I grew up in a great family. My dad was always there, and my mom was kind of busy, but they both loved me. So, what about it? Do you want kids of your own? Let me put it this way. I definitely love kids. And brook lynn and i are back together. But as for my own, I mean… that’s a long way off in the future. Well, I’ll tell you what. Your future kind of has a habit of catching up to you. Sooner than you think. Your relationship with nina is complicated, but so is mine. I lied to her, I conned her, I broke her heart, and I put brando through hell with my addiction. Both times I was the recipient of grace. Forgiven. And just recently, I wrongfully accused a friend of something. And you were forgiven? He doesn’t hold it against me, but… he’s not sure he can be my friend. I’m sorry. So am I. It’s painful wanting to connect to someone you’ve wronged, even if they don’t owe you a thing. Sam: Your innocence is gonna be a lot easier to prove than gladys’s guilt. Tell that to my lawyer. What lawyer? Scott baldwin. What?! Scott baldwin? Why — why isn’t he dealing with this? He’s working on something else for me. Something bigger than a conviction for grand larceny? We have to prove that gladys was in your pants the night of the nurses ball. My jacket, thank you very much. The pcpd already looked into all this. Okay? There was no surveillance footage. There are other ways.


Want to play? Yeah, I want to play. Are we still talking about backgammon?

[ Both laugh ] Yes, finn, we’re talking about backgammon. Okay.

[ Both laugh ] Just checking. All right. I’m a little afraid.

[ Laughs ] I think you cheat. Oh. I want that cup, though. That’s my lucky cup. Give it to me. Thank you. Lucky cup it is.

[ Dice rattling ] You’re pretty when you shake. Oh, thanks.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Okay. That wasn’t good. According to what was said earlier, no.

[ Dice rattling ] Okay. So, do i move these over? How did you — how did you beat me? I don’t know.

[ Laughs ] How did you beat me? I don’t know what to do. Okay. There you go. Esme prince, the latest entrant to the cassadine family squid game?

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, I did that as a favor for laura. That’s some favor. Esme is A… not-nice person. Snake? Snake. That’s mild. You sure that’s wise? Since when have I done anything that’s wise? Honey, you’re one of the wisest people I know. Sometimes you just get a little… led astray by — by your passion and idealism. Well, in this case, I was just trying to provide some stability to esme so she doesn’t run off with laura’s grandchild in tow. Very generous of you. Actually, I have a soft spot for esme. Oh. I know firsthand what it’s like to have a psychotic parent, and she’s got two. And gregory actually keeps her calm. Gregory? Yeah. He’s agreed to join the editorial board. Well, I thought you were persona non grata after you went over his head and called the dean. Yeah, well, we have an understanding now. I can be his friend and care about him. I just can’t meddle. And the editorial board is actually really happy to have him, and he’s happy to be in his erudite element. So all’s well that ends well. To quote the bard. Can I read you something? Sure. “Sasha gilmore is not defined by her past. No matter our mistakes, shortcomings or circumstances, everyone deserves another chance to build a life that once seemed impossible.” That’s what nina wrote about you, isn’t it? She writes well. ‘Cause she writes from her heart? But maybe… she was also writing about herself. Maybe it’s a prayer of some sorts. All I know is that nina’s capacity for forgiveness is massive. Something tells me that it might be hereditary. You know, I am glad that you and brook lynn are back together. You’re good for each other. Well, there’s never a dull moment, that’s for sure. Last weekend, she took me to the beechers corners flea market. And would’ve thought that logan’s or the cartullo showroom was more of her thing. Yeah, me too. But she said she had a surprise for me, and then she whisked me away on this whirlwind tour, but, dude, she was possessed. It was like she had a sixth sense for finding vintage clothing. That sounds wholesome enough. Brook lynn is usually all over the place, but you ground her. You know she can be her own worst enemy. I’ll say. But you’re like a moral compass for her. You know, it’s just… it’s important that each person brings something to the relationship so they can complement each other. That’s what willow does for me. She really helped mellow me out and focus on what really matters. And you do that for brook lynn. Really? Definitely. Okay. Well, if I do that for brook lynn, what does she do for me?

[ Chuckles ] I don’t know. You tell me. My head…hurts. You have a head injury. We’ll get you a drip to manage the pain. Do you know how you hurt your head? Did I fall? Yes. At the metro court pool. The pool…

[ Laughs ] Hopefully you won’t sue the owner. What I want to know is why you came barreling out like you had some earth-shattering news to tell drew. What got you all fired up?


What is wrong with you? What? Come on. No. I’m gonna take you to my trapeze class. It is such a good workout. You know, I know a girl who broke her foot playing pickleball. Fine. Then we’ll do yoga. It’s nice. It’s safe. It’s close to the ground. Stretching and core. Yeah, that sounds hard. You are impossible. But consistent. Hmm. I think the tide is turning. We’ll see. Hmm. Ooh. Oh. Ouch. That — that’s — that’s got to hurt a little bit. All right, settle down, genghis khan. Genghis khan playing backgammon? Are you sure? Well, if he did, I’m sure this world would be a much different place. Yes, it would.

[ Dice rattling ] Ooh. All right. I don’t like this game anymore. Anyway, I have to get back to work. I don’t want that new head nurse breathing down my neck. Hmm. Hey, she’s okay. I’ve heard some good things about her. Let’s hope it stays that way. I’m sure it will. Good night, dr. Finn. Good night. The tide is turning. Hi. Spinelli. No, wait — yeah. Um… I’ve got a job for you. Do you think I’ve been too hard on nina? I did not say that. There’s been real harm done. All I’m saying is, the story doesn’t have to end there. I told wiley new beginnings are always possible. Your mother-in-law framed me. But, look, I — at least you don’t believe that I’m a thief. Okay? And thank you. But someday, I hope, you know that I’m the one who’s telling the truth to you. Wiley’s got a wise mommy. I’m gonna go check in on brook lynn and see how ned’s doing. Or I could just text her, and then I could avoid tracy. Ah, but that’s not really your style, is it? No. No, I gotta face things head on. I just don’t want brook lynn to have to run interference with tracy. Then again, it could give her something to do to take her mind off her dad. Right. Uh, how is ned doing? I know they were waiting for dr. Ashford to wake him up from the induced coma. Brook lynn brought leo in to sit with him earlier. Well, tell her I’m thinking about her, okay? I will. And send willow my love. Will do. And, uh, chase, for what it’s worth, I, uh — I think you’d be a great dad. This is all a bit fuzzy. T.J.: Totally normal. Let’s start with this. What year is it? 2023? What city are we in? Port charles, new york.

[ Chuckles ] Seems like you’re on the road to recovery, ned. You gave us a scare, though. My name is not ned. It’s eddie maine.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Like she needs someone to spot her.

Liam: Yeah. Cue her to pretend to struggle, in three, two, one.

Rj: Got it?

Dakota: Yeah. No.

Rj: No, okay.

Liam: Yeah, there it is.

Rj: Okay.

Dakota: Thanks. I guess I hit my limit.

Rj: Hey, you almost had it. You were that close. I’m not gonna lie.

Dakota: Might try again after I rest a bit.

Rj: Yeah, sure. Just let me know, I’ll be over there.

Dakota: Okay.

Finn: And ten.

Rj: What?

Liam: I think you should have offered her a towel.

Rj: Why? She wasn’t exactly breaking a sweat?

Finn: No. I meant for the drool, man.

Rj: Oh, come on. Very funny. Very, very funny.

Liam: Hey, rj, don’t look now, but I think you have another admirer.

[ Jackhammer pounding ] You’re going to have a monopoly on spotting services, you know that?

Rj: You are making me regret bringing both of you here right now. That’s what you’re doing.

Finn: We’re going to behave, right, liam?

Liam: Speak for yourself. I’m not behaving. By the way, thank you for inviting us. The jackhammer really helps me keep tempo.

Rj: Well, what can I say, you know? I felt bad, you know. You two lonely bachelors abandoned by my sisters in L.A. I just feel terrible.

Liam: Aw.

Finn: My wife on the way to rome, we’re stuck here in L.A.

Liam: Okay, listen, I’m– I am so excited for hope. I’m really proud that she has this opportunity. My only– my only thing is, no offense, I know he’s your brother, but why does thomas have to tag along? Like, I feel like he should be here in L.A., Not in rome with my wife.

Ridge: All right. It shouldn’t be too much longer.

Brooke: Oh, thank god. I can’t wait for italy.

Carter: Yeah, I think we all can’t wait.

Ridge: You know what I do want to do? I wanna go to that gelato place you found last time.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, you read my mind.

Hope: Oh, gosh, yes. Just bring on all the food, every kind of pasta.

Brooke: Oh, there’s my girl.

Steffy: Just make sure you use napkins. Thomas worked his butt off designing those gowns. The last thing I want to see is marinara all over those gowns.

Hope: Okay. Deal. We have an agreement. Anything to make this preview a success.

Thomas: You know, I really am amazed by you, carter. I mean, you getting the permits for this and it’s such an amazing place.

Carter: When hope asked for an iconic backdrop, I thought, “you might as well dream big, right?”

Hope: I’m so excited. I mean, I’m also a little nervous. I mean, I usually have butterflies before a forrester runway but– but this…

Thomas: In a place so historic?

Hope: It’s going to be wild.

Carter: Wildly successful, you mean.

Hope: Well, if it is– no, when it is, it will be in large part thanks to you, carter. I mean, all of your hard work on this line. I– I really don’t think we could have pulled it together without you. And you, my fearless lead designer over there. I mean, I just am in awe of your artistry and your talent and I really don’t think we’d be on a plane heading to rome if it wasn’t for your help. So, I’m very thankful for you and for the beauty of your work.

Rj: I get it, man. I totally understand why you feel guarded around thomas, especially when it comes to hope, you know.

Liam: I mean, yeah. But aren’t you, a little bit? Like hope’s your sister, you can’t be that comfortable with the role that he’s playing in her life, especially given all the crap he’s pulled.

Rj: Yeah. I– I don’t know, man, it’s weird. I’m kind of a brother to both, sort of.

Finn: Well then, to complicate it even more, the consensus seems to be that thomas has really changed this time.

Liam: I know. I wish– trust me. I wish I could buy that. It’s just hard, especially when hope’s well-being is at stake. Hey.

Liam: I mean, it’d be different if I could just believe in thomas, you know. If I could just, like, magically convince myself that he’s changed, but every time I try, I just, I can’t do it. And it doesn’t matter like how good he’s being, it still comes off as like phony to me. Like calculable.

Rj: I– I get it. I mean, there might be a chance that you’re right, but I doubt it. I mean, come on, look at him. He’s got way too much to lose. He’s got his career, his kid. I mean, he’s got every reason to be on his best behavior, right?

Liam: I know. I know, but I’m saying he’s had those reasons in the past and he was still willing to risk his career and his relationship with douglas. So like, what, why– why does everybody think this time it’s gonna be different? Like, help me understand that.

Finn: Look, liam, I don’t think rj and I should necessarily be trying to sway you on this. I mean, this is about your wife, protecting your family. You should trust your instincts on this, especially on this. But I will say, I have seen noticeable changes in thomas’s behavior. It used to be with thomas, you got a sense that he was always holding back, never giving you the full story about anything, which he wasn’T. Super shady dude. The feeling’s gone. ‘Cause when I look him in the eye now, I see clarity. I see a guy who’s figured things out.

Liam: Yeah. Okay. But like– like what if, what he’s figured out is just how to play us all better?

Finn: Well, maybe, but I’m with rj on this. I doubt it. Honestly, you want the best evidence that thomas is on the right path? It’s steffy. You trust her judgment, right?

[ Liam chuckling ]

Liam: Usually, yeah.

Finn: Yeah. Well, steffy believes in thomas. She’s tried to convince you, right?

Liam: Yeah, she has. Multiple times.

Finn: Okay. And, you know, steffy. I mean, there’s no way she would even consider defending thomas if she didn’t truly mean it.

Liam: No.

Rj: No, no one’s more of a straight shooter than steffy, right?

Liam: That’s valid. I mean, yeah, that’s a valid point. And honestly, I’m– I take comfort in the fact that steffy is going to be on this trip. She even told me she would, like, keep an eye on things for me.

Rj: On what? On hope and thomas?

Liam: Yeah, because if there’s anything concerning going on, steffy will see it.

Hope: And… I mean, um…

Thomas: It’s something.

Hope: Oh, this is actual… here we go.

Carter: Your brother and hope, who would’ve thought, right? Everything they’ve been through and you wouldn’t know it looking at how they relate now. The bond they created, the team. It’s so great seeing two people connect the way they do. It’s like they totally get each other.

Steffy: They certainly do.

Thomas: I didn’t know we were able to do that. Let me play around a lot more.

Hope: I know.

Ridge: All right. I talked to the pilot, we’ll be landing soon.

Brooke: Oh, good. I can’t wait to get off this plane.

Ridge: Long flight, I know, but it’s worth it.

Brooke: It is so worth it. There’s no city quite like rome.

Ridge: Something about it being romantic and stuff, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Did I say that?

Ridge: Once or twice, yes.

Brooke: Well, I know you don’t believe in romance and destiny right now, but I’m hoping that rome can help you find that again.

Pilot: Okay, folks. Time to buckle up. We’re starting our descent. Should be on the ground shortly.

Hope: Roma, here we come. I need to dig deep to do this,

Rj: Hey, no way.

Finn: That girl just text you? When– when did she even get your number?

Liam: I think beautiful women just like, know it by osmosis.

Rj: That’s– that’s very funny, but no, they do not. I wish they did. It was actually my mom letting me know that they landed safely.

Liam: Ah, ah, that’s lame, but it makes more sense.

Finn: Yeah, it makes a lot more sense. Why don’t you give her your number, man? She’s clearly into you.

Liam: Yeah.

Rj: I might slip it into the conversation next time she asks me to spot her.

Liam: Atta boy. Did, uh, did– did brooke say anything else?

Rj: No, just that they’re hitting the ground running?

Finn: Oh, man, it’s sinking in now. I’m officially getting jealous.

Rj: You jealous? What? Didn’t steffy invite you on the trip?

Finn: Yeah, I just have too many commitments at the hospital right now. Not to mention the kids. So, yeah, probably smartest I stay back.

Rj: What about you, liam? I mean, it kind of makes sense to me that you go considering how you feel about thomas.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know. Hope suggested it, albeit like super last minute. So logistically, it’S… I don’t know, it’s a work trip. I would rather go at a time when it feels like an actual vacation. And honestly, no matter how suspicious I am of thomas, I really don’t want to be that like, creepy jealous husband who’s just keeping tabs on his wife. That’s a whole…

Finn: You know what you ought to do, man?

Liam: What?

Finn: Surprise hope.

Liam: Surprise her how? Like– like what? Like in italy?

Finn: Yes, italy. And not as a super jealous husband type but as a, uh, romantic one. The kind of husband that wants to be at his wife’s press event, that flies halfway across the world as this epic show of support. I mean, think about the points you’d get. But yeah, I know it’s a work trip and there’s going to be some busy schedules going on, but there’s going to be downtime, man. In italy. In rome. It’s one of the prettiest cities in the world. This is kind of a no-brainer. So why don’t you go and do that? Hop on a plane, surprise your wife.

Thomas: Not too bad.

Hope: Mom, how did you find this villa?

Brooke: I have my secrets.

Steffy: This is so beautiful.

Carter: Wow, this is amazing.

Steffy: This is great. Look at this. It’s so, so good.

Daniela: Ciao. It’s so good to see you.

Ridge: It’s good to be here.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, we’re so excited to be back in rome. It’s been too long.

Daniela: We prepared all of you to be swept up in eternal city of love.

Brooke: Okay.

Daniela: Inside?

Brooke: Okay. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Liam: Wait, so you’re not just messing with me right now? Like, you think I should actually do this? I should surprise hope in rome?

Finn: Dude, imagine the look on her face. As she’s taking a bow, right? To thunderous applause and she’s looking out over the adoring crowd, only to eventually make eye contact with you. And she’ll see exactly how much her husband truly cares about her.

Rj: I mean, I think finn is completely right, dude. It’d be insane if you just showed up and she saw you. I think she’d be ecstatic. I don’t know.

Finn: Yeah, do it, man. Come on, you’re gonna go up there. You’re gonna take the woman that you love into your arms. You’re gonna tell her how important she is to you. You’re gonna tell her exactly how you feel. You need to be there for her, man.

Liam: You know what? You guys are right. You’re absolutely right. Just screw it.

Rj: Yeah.

Liam: Yeah. I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna–

Rj: Do it.

Liam: I’m gonna go to rome. I’m gonna go to rome.

Romance in rome

eternal city of joy

they dance in rome

where every girl has her boy

romance in rome

and when they meet you

they’ll say

who cares

what tomorrow brings

live for today

I know ’cause

I found perfect romance

in rome

Brooke: It’s true, you know.

Ridge: What’s that?

Brooke: Daniela is right. We’re about to be caught up in the city of eternal love.

Ridge: That’s what everyone keeps telling me.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Belle questions Shawn drinking in the morning at home. Belle takes the bottle from him and threatens to pour it out. Belle gets that Shawn is in pain over shooting his dad and putting him in a coma, but says this has to stop.

Megan emerges from the secret tunnels and finds Harris Michaels in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Megan greets Harris and says she didn’t expect to see him there. Harris says that was intentional and questions what she was doing behind the wall.

EJ and Kristen remain tied up in the wine cellar. EJ explains how he had set up a meeting for he and Nicole with the most highly sought after specialists for high risk pregnancies which was almost impossible to get but he managed it. EJ talks about how much it meant to him to be the father of Nicole’s baby and with Nicole’s history, they were eager to find out if she could carry the baby to term but now their sadistic sister has him tied up here.

Nicole waits around at the hospital and gets a text from EJ’s phone that Megan sent, saying he’s sorry but he has to miss their appointment and to go meet the doctor without him. Kayla greets Nicole and tells her that the specialist is on her way. Kayla asks where EJ is. Nicole asks if she means the man who is supposedly excited to be the father of her child.

Eric and Sloan are at Sloan’s apartment. Sloan finishes a call and informs Eric that she tried to get Colin transferred to Bayview because of his bad mental state but Melinda won’t go for it, so Colin is still at the police department and will probably end up in prison for the rest of his life. Eric asks what he can do. Sloan says nothing except hold her as they hug and then kiss.

Dimitri shows up at Gwen’s door with roses but Leo interrupts, takes the roses and throws them in the trash. Gwen argues that Leo is being extremely rude. Leo argues that at least he’s not being a phony like Dimitri. Leo talks about Dimitri wanting him dead, but says he’s on to him. Leo calls Gwen his truest and best friend in the world, so he’s not going to sit back and watch Dimitri take advantage of her.

Megan claims to Harris that she was merely getting acquainted with her famous family home. Megan questions what exactly Harris is doing here. Harris thinks back to telling Kate of his plan to exile Megan permanently. Harris then informs Megan that he’s done watching her hurt people.

EJ complains that he has to get out of here and to the appointment. Kristen admits that she didn’t know becoming a father again meant this much to him. EJ admits that Nicole’s happiness means the most to him. EJ talks about getting her pregnant twice before and she miscarried both times which crushed her, so he doesn’t want her to go through that again. Kristen asks if EJ really loves Nicole. EJ confirms that he does, even if she doesn’t feel the same way about him.

Nicole tells Kayla about how EJ pulled strings to make this appointment happen and now he’s not even coming with no explanation. Kayla finds it really surprising since EJ seemed really excited about the pregnancy. Nicole assures that he is and wonders if she’s just overreacting to EJ disappearing.

Shawn tells Belle to give him the bottle back and argues that he’s not hurting anyone. Belle reminds him that he was wasted and ready to drive the other night, so she’s just praying he doesn’t hurt anyone else since he’s hurting himself enough with it. Shawn mocks the idea of just getting over shooting his dad. Belle wants him to deal with it in the right way which is not drinking himself in to a stupor. Belle asks Shawn to go talk to Marlena, so maybe she can help him process all his guilt. Shawn laughs off the idea of going to therapy. Belle knows it won’t be easy or immediate, but she thinks talking to someone about it will help give him some perspective instead of torturing himself. Shawn argues that he deserves to be tortured and miserable as his punishment.

Kayla tells Nicole that there is still time for EJ to get there and she’ll come find her in a bit as she heads to her office. Nicole texts EJ, asking why he can’t be there and if he can at least tell her what is so damn important. Belle arrives at the hospital and asks Nicole if everything is okay. Nicole tells her that she’s just frustrated and trying to reach EJ but it’s a long story and she just wishes he was there. Belle says she’s sorry and asks if it’s about her being pregnant, noting that she read about it in Leo’s column. Nicole confirms that it is. Belle guesses the story is accurate then and EJ is the father. Nicole says they did a paternity test so it’s definitive. Belle guesses that probably hit Eric pretty hard.

Sloan and Eric lay in bed together. Sloan guesses she must come off so needy to him. Eric says they need each other at times and reminds her that he’s here for her. Sloan wants to be here in his arms all day, but she has to be in court soon. Eric offers to go with her to help her get through it. Sloan asks if he would do that for her after everything Colin has done including putting Abe in the hospital. Sloan thinks Eric would be crazy to want to be seen out with her. Eric says love is a two way street and she’s been there for him, so he’s going to be there for her. Sloan thinks back to faking the paternity test.

Leo says he’s protecting Gwen while Dimitri argues that he’s not even being clear, questioning how he’s taking advantage of Gwen. Leo argues that he knows what Dimitri is up to in turning on the charm so that the Spectator is running such a nice profile on him. Leo complains that Dimitri just wanted all this great free publicity for himself and says he won’t stand by while he manipulates Gwen to giving him more. Leo tells Dimitri to go ahead and kill him if he must, but at least he will go down knowing that he was defending his best friend from his nefarious behavior.

Megan tells Harris that she’s insulted by his baseless accusations. Harris tells her to save it as he knows she has someone in her sights now, questioning who it is. Megan mocks him having a savior complex and questions him being Salem’s self appointed protector. Harris argues that someone has to protect the town from her and he’s proud to be the one to do it. Harris feels it’s the least he can do after all the damage he caused the people of Salem while he was under her control. Megan calls him such a disappointment. Harris responds that he’s about to become more disappointing to her. Shawn then enters the room and questions what the hell is going on here.

Dimitri tells Leo that he just came by to thank Gwen for the story and swears he has no ulterior motives. Gwen tells Leo that he can be a bit overzealous at times while Leo feels she can be a bit gullible, worrying that Dimitri is a master manipulator. Gwen tells Dimitri that she defended Leo, so now he’s trying to return the favor but she can take care of herself. Leo insists that he won’t be fooled by Dimitri. Gwen tells Leo that he has a deadline to rush him out. Leo warns Dimitri that he has his eye on him as he exits the room. Gwen apologizes for Leo’s overactive imagination. Dimitri feels he should be the one apologizing to her as now that they are alone, he can tell her the truth that Leo was absolutely right about him.

Belle apologizes to Nicole for being insensitive, blaming having a really rough morning. Nicole asks what’s going on with her. Belle tells her that it’s Shawn struggling with what happened to Bo and it’s just getting worse. Belle wanted to bring him here to see Marlena but he didn’t come and she came anyway. Belle decides she will go talk to Marlena and says she knows Nicole doesn’t need to hear her about her problems. Belle apologizes again for bringing up Eric as she knows it’s complicated. Belle then heads to Marlena’s office.

Kristen asks if EJ thinks Nicole is using him or doesn’t have feelings for him. EJ clarifies that he’s just not confident that she loves him quite the same way that he loves her. Kristen asks why that is and then realizes that she didn’t say it back. EJ questions that being her concern and calls it complicated because of her past feelings for Eric Brady. EJ adds that it might be less complicated now that Eric has clearly moved on with Sloan.

Eric and Sloan eat together at the Brady Pub. Eric encourages her to keep her strength up despite worrying about Colin. Sloan tells Eric that it really touched her that he offered to go to court with her. Eric responds that he wants to support her because he loves her. Sloan says she loves him too which is why she doesn’t want him to forget about her offer to have a baby together. Eric assures he hasn’t forgotten but asks why she’s bringing it up now. Sloan feels he does so much for her that she wants to do something for him. Eric feels she has so much on her plate right now that he doesn’t think it’s the right time for them to have a baby. Kate walks in and asks why the hell not.

Shawn tells Harris so much for being done with Megan. Shawn asks who Harris is going to take out next and if Megan is trying to get him to go after Hope again. Harris stops Shawn and says he’s obviously been drinking. Harris clarifies that he came to deal with Megan, not make a deal with her. Harris reminds Shawn that they are on the same side. Shawn questions who asked him to do that because he decides who is on his side. Megan remarks that Shawn is absolutely nothing like Bo and calls him a pathetic drunk. Shawn argues that Megan is the reason he’s like this and questions how she’s not in prison after everything she did to his parents. Megan tells him to keep his distance. Shawn asks who is pathetic now and laughs at her, asking if she’s scared of having to pay for messing with Bo’s head. Megan tells Shawn to calm down and says if he tells her where Bo is, she can go apologize to him now. Shawn calls that hilarious and says it’s a little too late as he calls her a sadistic bitch. Shawn says the minute he found out Megan was here, he knew he needed to come do something. Shawn warns Megan that she’s going to pay. Megan then pulls her gun and says that’s enough out of him, unless he wants a bullet between his eyes.

Kate apologizes for eavesdropping but not for butting in. Eric asks what she heard. Kate says she heard enough. Kate admits that Sloan might not be a favorite of hers but that’s beside the point if they are serious enough about each other to be talking about having a baby, which she knows is important to Eric. Kate questions why he would wait if there’s a serious offer there. Eric argues that it’s not something to rush in to. Kate knows he’s trying to be responsible but argues that life is messy. Kate encourages Eric to plunge in and embrace the chaos instead of letting opportunities pass by. Kate talks about how she ended up on a boat in the middle of the ocean. Eric argues that it’s not that simple. Kate says she knows about Nicole and EJ. Kate says that didn’t work out, so he can make something else work out. Kate warns that if Eric waits, he’ll just get older, so if he really wants this, he needs to make it happen now.

Kristen tells EJ that it takes some time to process hearing “I love you”. EJ acknowledges that at the time, they didn’t know Nicole was pregnant and she didn’t know who the father was. Kristen states that she wouldn’t say it back under those circumstances either. EJ points out that they’ve known he’s the father for several days now and she still hasn’t said it back. Kristen argues that Nicole doesn’t know if she can carry the baby and is in a very stressful position. Kristen tells EJ just not to expect too much too soon. EJ remarks on Kristen actually trying to be helpful and questions if she’s really offering emotional support. Kristen jokes that if anyone asks, she will deny it. EJ wonders if maybe today was the day that Nicole was going to say it. EJ states that if he wasn’t trying to warn Stefan, he would be with Nicole at the hospital to see where they stand but instead he’s here, waiting for Megan to decide their fate.

Harris reaches towards Shawn but Megan warns him to stay exactly where he is. Megan calls Shawn a pathetic little weasel. Megan declares that she’s here grieving the loss of her Bo while Shawn is just drowning himself in booze and looking for someone else to blame for the bullet that he put in Bo. Shawn responds that he knows what he did and he hates himself for it, but admits he would do it again if he knew he was saving Hope’s life because he thought Bo was going to kill her. Megan wishes he had and remarks that they’d all be better off if he did. Megan holds her gun and warns Shawn to back away and not take another step. Megan complains that she waited years to have Bo back and Shawn ruined it in an instant. Megan warns that she can ruin him in an instant. Harris points out that he’s a witness, so if Megan pulls the trigger, she’ll go straight back to prison. Megan responds that there will be no witness if she goes this far. Megan argues that Shawn broke in to her house and threatened her, so she is well within her legal rights to end his pathetic life right now. Megan remarks that she just hopes it won’t permanently stain the carpet with his blood.

Gwen questions if Dimitri really was just using her to clean up his image. Dimitri says he would never do anything like that and that he just meant that Leo was right to assume that he did come with an agenda. Gwen asks what it is then. Dimitri informs her that he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her since the day they met and that’s why he brought her flowers. Dimitri says he felt something ever since seeing her at the DiMera Mansion and has not been able to get her out of his head and his heart since. Dimitri apologizes for putting her on the spot, asking how she could possibly have the same feelings for him. Gwen asks what if she does. Dimitri asks if she means she actually has feelings for him. Gwen says when they had lunch the other day, she couldn’t believe how much they had in common and how alike they were. Gwen thought she was being too obvious with her feelings. Gwen hopes he’s seeing clearly now as they kiss.

Harris gets in between Shawn and Megan. Harris tells Megan to think, pointing out two dead bodies are going to mess up whatever Megan has cooking and they both know that she always has something planned. Harris says he will walk Shawn out and they will all live to fight another day. Harris convinces Megan to put her gun down and he then walks Shawn out of the mansion. Megan remarks that Harris is lucky that she still needs him for her plan. Megan then wonders what she’s going to do about EJ and Kristen. Megan checks EJ’s phone and sees all the text messages from Nicole, wondering where he is.

Kristen asks EJ how long he thinks Megan is going to keep them down here. EJ tells Kristen to tell him since she’s the one that has been colluding with her. Kristen apologizes for throwing in her lot with her. EJ understands that Kristen had no idea what Megan was up to. Kristen says when Megan cooked up the plan to escape prison, she was determined to not be left behind so she went along with the plan as she thought it would be her only chance to get back with her daughter Rachel. EJ says he does understand that. Kristen admits that she didn’t mind plotting behind her siblings’ back but screams that she had no idea Megan was such a crazy person.

Kayla joins Nicole in her hospital room. Nicole complains of not hearing from EJ and remarks that he must be tied up somewhere. Kayla decides that she will stay with Nicole so she’s not alone as the doctor will be there in a few minutes. Nicole says at least they will find out one way or another what her chances are of carrying the baby to term.

Sloan tells Eric that everything Kate said makes sense. Kate gets a text and says she has to go, so if Eric needs more convincing then Sloan is on her own. Kate tells Eric to seize the day, reminding him that he gave a sermon on that once. Kate then exits the Pub. Sloan swears that she did not pay Kate to come say all of that, but asks Eric what he thinks.

Shawn returns home where Belle says she should’ve known that he would go after Megan and she never should’ve left him alone as Megan could’ve shot him. Shawn remarks that he wishes she had and that he deserves it. Belle tells him that’s not true and reminds him that she loves him. Shawn then just walks out of the room.

EJ wonders what Megan has been doing all this time. Kristen suggests maybe she found someone else to terrorize. EJ hopes that Stefan is safe. Kristen thinks they are going to be down here a long time and suggests getting used to it but EJ refuses. EJ realizes that the appointment was an hour ago, so by now Nicole has gotten the news about her pregnancy, good or bad, and he wasn’t by her side.

Eric and Sloan exit the Pub and run in to Nicole. Eric asks if everything is alright. Nicole responds that she just came from meeting the specialist, who confirmed there have been so many changes since Holly was born and with new treatments, the doctor thinks there’s a very good chance that she can carry the baby to term. Eric calls that great news and says he’s happy for her and EJ. Sloan agrees and congratulates her. Sloan then adds that they have their own great news that they just discussed and announces they are going to try to have a baby as well. Sloan jokes that they can be pregnancy twins. Sloan mentions that it’s all thanks to Kate which Nicole questions. Eric explains that Kate made him see that there’s no point in waiting around for something he really wanted.

Harris meets Kate in the park and tells how Shawn stumbled in drunk and ruined the whole plan. Harris says he had no choice because Megan was going to put a bullet in Shawn. Kate calls Megan a homicidal maniac and worries about stopping her. Harris insists that this was just a delay and he’s going back, then she will never see or hear from Megan again.

Megan locks the front door of the DiMera Mansion and says it’s now back to business, commenting on taking over the world being so labor intensive as she pulls out her phone.

Dimitri and Gwen continue kissing and begin to undress as they move on to the bed until they are interrupted by Dimitri getting a text. Dimtiri says he hates to do this but he’s been waiting on this business text as he pulls away. Dimitri gets the text from Megan, asking how it’s going with Gwen and warning him not to screw this up as he needs to close this deal. Gwen asks if it’s important. Dimitri says not as important as this and continues kissing Gwen on to the bed.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: I stood my ground with my family and I told them that nick is dealing with too much to focus on work right now. Between sally’s pregnancy and the situation with cameron, I mean there’s no way that he can give his job the attention that it needs. And they said–

Nate: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me stop you right there. Are you sure you should share what they said with me?

Victoria: I am in charge of what happens at newman enterprises. And besides, this directly involves you, since you’re the one that I hope to lean on.

Billy: Can I grab an earl grey to go, and one of those brownies, please? Thank you.

[ Phone ringing ]

Adam: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey. I’m sorry to call so late. Is this a bad time?

Adam: I’m with sally and she’s sleeping, finally. What’s going on?

Chelsea: I’m not sure. Um, there’s nothing we can do about it tonight, but tomorrow I think we should find someone professional for connor to talk to.

Adam: I thought that he’d improved.

Chelsea: Well, so did I, but lately, I don’t know, he’s been so moody and distant and I’m worried about him. I’d feel a lot better if we could get him some outside help.

Adam: Absolutely. I’ll call you in the morning and we’ll get him the best child psychologist in the state.

Chelsea: Great. Thank you. And I hope everything’s okay with sally.

Adam: Me too.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Billy: Some earl grey for you and a little something for connor.

Chelsea: You’re the best. But you know, you can take off. There’s no reason for connor to ignore both of us. I can face this rejection on my own.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Sally: Was that nick?

Adam: No, it was chelsea, calling about connor.

Sally: Is something wrong?

Adam: It’s– it’s nothing for you to worry about. Did I wake you? I was– I was trying to keep my voice down.

Sally: No, no, it’s not you. I’m just too freaked out about nick. I can’t sleep. I– I– I have to get out of this room.

Adam: You’re not going anywhere. get in here?

Cameron: I knew nick would have the whole place surrounded with daddy’s security, so I found a workaround.

Sharon: I was on my way to meet you at the motel like you’d asked.

Cameron: I saved you a trip.

Sharon: Where is faith?

Cameron: You know, this is the first time we’ve been alone in a very long time. I mean without your ex-husband barging in. You’re as beautiful as the day we met. Time hasn’t touched you. Me, on the other hand, I might be a little harder to recognize. I’m– I’m going for recently incarcerated, but still ruggedly handsome.

Sharon: I would recognize you anywhere.

Cameron: Well, I’ll take that as a compliment. I’ve thought about you more than you can imagine. You actually became a part of me. Always with me, here. Just like I’m a part of you.

Sharon: Tell me where faith is.

Cameron: She’s fine, for now. What happens next… that’s up to you. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: Okay, you can’t keep me here. I’m starving and I need something to eat.

Adam: Okay, well it’s late. What are you in the mood for? And don’t say a burger and fries with hot sauce, okay, because that can’t be doctor recommended. I’ll run out. I’ll get you something healthy. Or you know what, better yet, I’m gonna order you something. I’m gonna have it delivered.

Sally: Look, I’m tired of room service, okay? I’m not on bed rest. The doctor just said I need to take it easy. I can still go out and eat something.

Adam: Okay, be honest. This isn’t about just being hungry.

Sally: I know nick told you something about whatever this guy cameron is trying to pull. That is why you’re watching me like a hawk. Admit it.

Adam: Yes, he asked me to look out for you, but I already do that. So, I’m glad to get his stamp of approval so he won’t barge in here and accuse me of anything.

Sally: Okay, you’re dodging the cameron question, which is making me even more nervous.

Adam: Look, nick, told us that cameron was causing trouble. And he did, he got nick arrested for assault and battery. He already called and told us this. This isn’t news.

Sally: Okay, but this is not what I’m talking about. Something else happened, I know it. That is why nick asked to talk to you. He would not have asked if it wasn’t bad.

Adam: Sally, he was just worried about you, okay? We’re still brothers and we’re both concerned about you and the baby. And if he was to call me again, I would give him my honest opinion: You’re hangry. So, you better tell me what you want to eat or order it yourself because it can’t be healthy to get riled up like this.

Sally: Okay, you know what?

Adam: I’m supposed to be keeping you calm, sally.

Sally: Stop treating me like a child, okay? I’m going out, with or without you.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: You can’t stop me!

Adam: Fine, but you might want to put your shoes on.

Sally: Please. Just tell me if there’s something that I need to know about nick because I cannot stand not knowing and it is making me think the worst.

Sharon: What do you want, cameron? You have my daughter. You’ve sent chance and nick and victor’s security team all over town. Clearly, that was to get me alone. So, here we are. What are you really after?

Cameron: I want the same thing I’ve always wanted, you.

Sharon: Well, here I am. You have my full attention. Let’s talk.

Cameron: Ah, I kinda want a little more than a conversation, sharon.

Sharon: Tell me what it will take then to get faith back.

Cameron: It’s simple. Leave with me tonight, agree to spend the rest of your life with me and faith comes home.

Sharon: You remember the last time that you insisted that we run off together? That didn’t end well.

Cameron: A little worse for me than it did for you, but don’t worry, I don’t blame you for that. I know it wasn’t your fault. Nah, I blame nick. I blame nick, 100%. He just had to stick his nose into our business. But, thankfully, he’s not here tonight. It’s just us. And I know you’ll make the right choice this time. And I know you’ll mean it.

Sharon: You seem so confident. What makes you think that I would do that?

Cameron: Because I wouldn’t feel this connection unless something in you felt it too.

Sharon: Okay, let’s say that that’s true, that we are feeling each other’s feelings, then you would know that you have put me in an impossible situation. You have my daughter. That picture you sent me, you would know that that terrifies me. I can’t be free to think about us unless I know that she’s okay.

Cameron: You need to trust me. I would never hurt your daughter unless I had to.

Sharon: As much as I want to trust you, I cannot consider your request unless I see for myself that faith is all right.

Cameron: You know what? Stop it. I know what you’re doing. I know you’re a therapist now. So, you’re gonna try to get inside my head, you’re gonna try to figure out what I’m thinking and then you’re gonna try to manipulate those thoughts. First of all, good luck with that. Secondly, you wanna know what I’m thinking? Don’t look here, look here. Look into my heart.

Sharon: Why don’t you look into my heart? And you will see that it is full of love and concern for my daughter. It is too full to focus on you.

Cameron: You know what? That’s a load of crap. I may not have a fancy degree, but I know you better than you know yourself. So, how about I tell you what I see when I look into your heart? I see a woman who has resigned herself to being alone. Because every man she has ever known has let her down. Nick, jack, adam, rey. They all let you down and none of them ever loved you the way that I do. Even after you rejected me, landed me in jail, I still wanted you more than anything that I’ve ever wanted in my life. And 20 years in prison didn’t change that. That’s how pure my love is. I tried to let you go, but no other woman was you.

Sharon: I heard about one of those women. You beat her, didn’t you? Just like you beat me. Abuse isn’t love. Hitting someone isn’t love.

Cameron: I don’t know. Maybe… I think I feel things more deeply than other people do and then I act accordingly.

Sharon: How can kidnapping my daughter be love?

Cameron: It was a wake-up call, sharon! Taking faith is the only way I knew to get your attention. To make you realize that deep down you inside, you feel our connection too. And you know what? No amount of shrink talk is ever gonna make me think that we don’t belong together. Because this, this is real and this is unstoppable.

Nate: I’m honored that you’d want to lean on me.

Victoria: Why do you sound surprised?

Nate: Well, you do have nikki and victor is clearly never out of the picture.

Victoria: But it’s you that I want. We’ve been working so well together. You just have this fresh energy and this passion.

Nate: I’m glad you think so. So, is nick definitely taking a leave of absence? Because your parents sounded like they were against it.

Victoria: No, they understand that nick has too much on his plate right now. That he needs to step back while this crisis is dealt with. They just don’t want to call it an official leave of absence, but that’s what it will be. And my mom and I are gonna have to take over nick’s responsibilities, so I’m gonna need you to back me up. Unless… if you’re not up for it, then–

Nate: Of course I am. I’m here to support you however you need.

Victoria: That’s why I know you’re gonna do great. Because you’re ambitious. I know you’re gonna put in the hard work and you’re gonna reap the benefits. You’re exactly what newman needs. What I need.

Nate: That’s all true, but you forgot to mention that I would support you because I respect and admire you. And I care about you. My attraction to you is as mental and emotional as it is physical. I hope you know that.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Victoria: Of course, you know, stepping in for nicholas means that newman media is gonna get a lot less of your attention.

Nate: I’m confident audra can cover me there.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I have no doubt. I think you and I both know she would take your job in a second if she could.

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: Does that bother you?

Victoria: No, not at all. I know exactly who audra is and what she wants. She’s not very subtle about it.

Nate: She’s made her ambitions very clear.

Victoria: Well, as long as that keeps her working hard, I have no professional issue with her whatsoever.

Nate: Professional issue?

Victoria: Well, let’s just say, it’s unlikely that audra and I are gonna become best friends any time soon. I’m fine with that. She needs to have her full focus on newman media, especially because adam has delusions of coming after his old company using mccall.

Nate: I’ve been thinking about that. I think we should be proactive.

Victoria: I couldn’t agree with you more.

Nate: Instead of waiting to play defense against a mccall attack…

Victoria: We make sure that mccall never gets strong enough for adam to make that move in the first place.

Adam: Are you trying to blackmail me into taking you out?

Sally: I am not above it.

Adam: Look, I swear I have nothing to tell you about nick.

Sally: Look, the whole reason that nick asked for you to watch out for me is so that I do not get stressed out, but keeping me cooped up in here is totally stressing me out.

Adam: I am doing what’s best for you and the baby. You’re not going to win this argument.

Sally: Please. Okay, nick is out there protecting sharon and faith from some psycho and you are the one who told me that he has a bad temper and he reacts with his fists. So, if you really want me to relax, you will let me out of here so I don’t have to think about that. I will sleep for ten hours if you do.

Adam: You– you– you’re impossible.

Sally: You’re not gonna win this.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Twelve hours and you don’t leave my sight.

Sally: Eleven. And you’re buying dinner. Excuse me.

Adam: Where do you think you’re going?

Sally: Now what?

Adam: I don’t care what you say. You’re not going out without these.

Chelsea: Connor, what are you doing here?

Connor: I wanted to see you.

Chelsea: Oh, well we just came down to grab some tea.

Billy: Got you a little something special in there too.

Chelsea: Why didn’t you text me? I would have come back up.

Connor: I’m not a helpless little kid.

Chelsea: I know. I know that. I just, um… are you okay?

[ Connor sighing ]

Connor: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to get angry like that. I just wanted to say, I hope you’re not mad at me for shutting myself in my room.

Chelsea: I’m not mad. I’m glad you came to find me. Come here.

Cameron: I will give you everything you’ve ever wanted. I still have more than enough money stashed away for us to live the rest of our lives in luxury. You– you– you want a tropical island? A ranch in montana? The south of france? You name it.

Sharon: I have everything I want, right here. This– this is my home.

Cameron: Oh, please. You expect me to believe that you’re satisfied slinging coffee and pastries for genoa city’s brain dead elite? Having to listen to their never-ending problems?

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. It’s true.

Cameron: You’re better than that. You know it and I know it. You come with me, you will never have to make another mocha latte or listen to some sad sack drone on about their– their unresolved trauma.

Sharon: I’m listening to you right now, aren’t I? Trying to figure out what brought you to this point? Why you think we have a future?

Cameron: You brought me here. Our connection brought me here. Why can’t you accept that? Sharon, my sole purpose in life right now is to make you happy and I will never ever let you down the way that nick has over and over again.

Sharon: Nick has nothing to do with this.

Cameron: Ah, come on. I– I– I think the therapist might need a little bit of therapy. Now, I know it’s hard for you to trust a man after you’ve been let down so many times, but honey, nick is the problem. He’s the reason for your unhappiness.

Sharon: If you really care about me, then prove to me that faith is okay!

Cameron: Okay, you know what? I am tired of talking about other people. First, it was nick, then it’s faith. There’s only two people here that I want to talk about and that’s you and me. And if those other people are too distracting, then trust me, I will remove the distraction. – You like that bone?

Nate: So, you want to hear my thoughts on mccall?

Victoria: Right now, that’s all I want.

Nate: Well, I’ve been looking at the company and I think we should go after their biggest weaknesses first. I’ve made a list of the divisions I think we can take a run at.

Victoria: Yeah, that all looks great. I think we should put audra on that. It will give her a set of targets to keep her hungry mind busy. But uh, you missed their biggest achilles heel.

Nate: Really? I thought my analysis was thorough.

Victoria: Of the divisions, sure, but adam is their weakest link.

Nate: Right, right, adam. And I’m sure you have the inside track on getting the upper hand there.

Sally: I want every dish on here, but all I can hear is my doctor warning me about my blood pressure or nick reminding me about heartburn.

Adam: Well, I’m sure we can find something acceptable. I mean, how about a caesar salad with chicken?

Sally: I can’t have the dressing, raw eggs.

Adam: Really? I did not know that. Then, a house salad.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: That sounds boring, so it’s probably fine.

Adam: No texts or calls from nick?

Sally: No, and I’m dying to call him, but I know that I can’t bother him on whatever secret mission he’s on, so I guess tonight is all me about wanting things that I can’t have. Do you know how much that stinks?

Adam: I have some idea, yes. Look, I’m sure that we can find something appetizing for both you and the baby. So, let’s figure it out. What is she craving?

Sally: Anything with hot sauce.

Adam: Well, what does that say about her? Other than the fact she’s like her mother.

Sally: This little girl is spicy and we should be terrified of her.

Adam: Well, I’m not easily scared. But as long as she has the best of you and my mother, she will be perfect.

Sally: I wish you would stop doing that.

Adam: Doing what?

Sally: Implying that she becomes nothing like you. Look, I want her to inherit the best of her entire family tree and that includes you and me, and hope and my great aunt sally and my gramps and coco and nick and victoria and maybe even victor.

Adam: Nah.

Sally: No.

Adam: No.

Sharon: Threatening my daughter’s life, how is that love? You prove to me that you care about me. Take me to faith.

Cameron: That is enough! Sharon, I am telling you. You just stop– just stop pushing me. How dare you? How dare you treat me like this when I’m standing in front of you opening a vein!

Sharon: Nick and chance will be here any minute. Victor’s security team is crawling all over this property. There’s no way out for you.

Cameron: Nick’s not coming. I called him from upstairs just after he left. I told him he had 20 minutes to get to where faith was if he wanted to save her. So, I wouldn’t expect him to show up any time soon to rescue you. I think he understood the urgency.

Sharon: What if he doesn’t get there in time?

Cameron: Well, let’s hope he doesn’t let you down again. Now, as for your other threats, I think we both know they’re empty. Right now, chance is going through that garage, and half of victor’s team is probably on their way to stake out the motel and the other half is with nick.

Sharon: And that suitcase? You left that in your hotel room for us to find then? You knew that we would and we’d find the deed to that abandoned garage and we would assume that faith was there.

Cameron: I was worried it was a little too obvious, but anyway, obvious or not, chance would have to follow that lead, so it was a win-win strategy.

Sharon: And the message for me to meet you in the motel room?

Cameron: I knew that chance or nick would insist on going with you with the backup. So, they’d have to leave early to get it all set up.

Sharon: Leaving me alone in the house. You’ve had this in the works for a long time.

Cameron: Months. So, you said I was trapped, but the truth is, there’s no way out of this for you.

Sharon: I’ll do whatever you want, cameron. I’ll do whatever you want. Just please let faith go. Let faith go. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. And we’re done.

Elena: Well, isn’t this cozy?

Nate: Hello, elena.

Elena: I guess at least you’re not keeping it a secret anymore.

Nate: I hope you don’t plan on making a scene like you did in L.A.

Elena: Right. Because it was my fault things turned ugly.

Nate: Look, if you want to talk to me, in private–

Elena: I don’T. But that scene in L.A. That you were talking about, that was back when I was naive enough to love you, trust you and even respect you. I guess I learned that lesson the hard way. You know, I always thought you were intelligent, but here you are falling for two users in a row. First, ashland, and now his best man.

Victoria: I don’t see the similarity.

Elena: Yeah, I guess that is your blind spot. But I can see it clearly. They are both happy to be with you as long as they get what they want, but once they don’t, you better watch out.

Connor: I know that I’ve been a jerk to you too. And johnny. I’m sorry.

Billy: Connor, you don’t have to worry about that, okay? I understand and johnny understands. You’ve got a lot on your plate right now. Sometimes, we get overwhelmed and we get a short fuse. It happens to the best of us.

Chelsea: No one is angry with you. We’re just worried. Do you understand the difference?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay. So can you talk to us? Can you tell us what’s going on?

Billy: Does this mood have anything to do with the baby? Yeah.

Connor: I’m sorry about how I’ve been acting, but you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m getting used to the idea that dad and sally are having a baby, that I’ll have a sister.

Chelsea: Well honey, it’s a lot to deal with. I mean, these are some grownup feelings you’re having. But the good thing is you don’t have to go through it alone.

Connor: I know, I’ve got you.

Chelsea: Of course you do, but not just me. You know, there might be times that you might want to vent about me or vent about your dad and that’s okay. You’re allowed to do that. So, your dad and I are thinking, maybe it’s time for you to talk to a therapist like I do. So we can find you somebody tomorrow, a professional to talk to.

Connor: No. I don’t need to talk to anyone else. I just need you.

Chelsea: Oh.

[ Chelsea exhaling ] Sweetheart.

Adam: Hey, I wanted to ask you, have you given any more thought to baby names?

Sally: Yeah, only every waking minute.

Adam: Well, not to overstep, but I was wondering if you might consider the name hope.

Sally: That would mean a lot to you, wouldn’t it?

Adam: It would. But no pressure. And you know, not a first name. Maybe a middle name?

Sally: It’s beautiful. And I think we should absolutely add it to the list. But I don’t really wanna choose just yet. I don’t know, call it superstition, but would you mind if maybe we waited to have this discussion closer to the due date?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Sure. But it’s going to sneak up on us faster than we know.

Sally: I know and I… I’m terrified.

Adam: What– what part?

Sally: All of it.

Adam: You know, I really wish that I could convince you that you are going to be a wonderful mother. This kid is blessed. Even with nick in the picture.

Sally: Very funny.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: What– what is it? What is it?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

[ Sally panting ]

Cameron: I’ll let faith go as soon as we’re far away from genoa city.

Sharon: Okay, you win, cameron. I’ll go with you. Because I need my daughter to be safe. But you– you have to promise me that she will be okay.

Cameron: And you have to trust me. I would never hurt your child.

Sharon: All right then. Where are we going?

Cameron: It’s a surprise.

Sharon: How about a hint so that I know what to pack?

Cameron: And ruin the fun? You don’t have to pack anything. We’re starting over. I’ll buy you all new things.

Nick: She’s not going anywhere with you. You get your hands off her!

Sharon: Nick!

[ Nick grunting ] Nick! Nick!

[ Punches thudding ] Even when I was with the people I love,

Sharon: Nick, stop! Stop it! He’s not worth it! I’ll just do what he says. Just get off of him.

Nick: Just go and get help.

[ Cameron shouting ]

Cameron: Get up. Get up.

[ Both grunting ]

Sharon: Help! Security! We need help! Help! Nick.

Cameron: We need to go.

Sharon: You go to hell.

Cameron: I warned you. I have your child. I have your child, sharon!

Sharon: Nick! Oh, my gosh, nick. Are you okay? Are you okay? Come, wake up.

Nick: We get him?

Sharon: Cameron got away, he said he has faith.

Nick: What?

Sharon: He’s got, faith. He says he’s got faith.

Nick: Where– where’d he go?

Sharon: He’s upstairs.

Nick: Okay.

Nate: Elena, please–

Victoria: Nate, uh, I can handle this. Look, I don’t want to argue, I really don’T. You’re saying hurtful things because you’ve been hurt, but trust me, in time, the pain will fade and then maybe you won’t feel the need to verbally assault people in public.

[ Elena chuckling ]

Elena: Whoa. I think you’ve been a newman princess for far too long if you think that was an assault. Those were just facts.

Nate: Don’t do this.

Elena: Good for you, nate. Finally protecting something. You know, I’m glad the two of you are together because I can already see the future. You are gonna use each other up and then burn each other down to the ground. It’s gonna really be fun to watch. Enjoy your evening.

Connor: Thanks for the brownie.

Billy: You are very welcome.

Chelsea: The way he devoured that, you’d think I didn’t feed this kid dinner.

Connor: I’m ready to go to bed now.

Billy: Bed? Geez, I should’ve gotten you something with a little less sugar.

Connor: It won’t keep me up.

Chelsea: That’s true actually. I saw him eat a whole bag of halloween candy once and he went straight to bed. Okay, come on. I’ll go up with you.

Connor: I can go myself. And yes, I’ll brush and floss.

Billy: Impressive. Do me a favor. Talk to johnny about that oral hygiene thing. He just fights me on it every night.

Connor: Sure. If you want, but I doubt hell listen to me. Goodnight. Love you.

Chelsea: I love you. Why am I more worried now than ever?

Adam: Let’s get you to the hospital, okay? Do you think that you can walk?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know.

Adam: Come, come, come.

[ Sally panting ]

Sally: What? Oh, what’s happening?

Adam: It’s okay, all right. We’ve got this. We’re gonna get help and everything is gonna be okay. I promise. Come on.

Sally: Okay.

[ Sally grunting ]

Adam: Come on. It’s okay.

Trelegy for copd.

Nick: Cameron got away.

Sharon: What? How is that possible? He ran upstairs. I’ve been down here the whole time. He didn’t get past me.

Nick: It’s crazy, it’s like he disappeared, but then I figured it out. The bastard made a hole in the closet of noah’s old room.

Sharon: What?

Nick: It’s how he got in, sharon. He came in through the walls.

Sharon: He was covered in dirt when he got here. Oh, my god.

Nick: He must have tunneled under the house. That’s how he evaded ranch security. It’s how he came in and poisoned the cat and placed the bug and got you alone.

Sharon: And now he got away. Oh, my gosh, he could be anywhere right now.

Nick: I know. We’re gonna find him.

Sharon: You didn’t see the look on his face. He knows that I despise him. He knows that his perfect plan didn’t work and he said that he has faith. He’s headed to her right now. We have got to stop him!

Nate: I’m sorry for elena’s behavior. It was out of line and frankly, not like her.

Victoria: Don’t apologize, okay? I– I meant what I said. I get it, elena’s hurt.

Nate: It doesn’t mean she has to treat you like that. It’s me she hates.

Victoria: I don’t take it personally, I don’T. I mean, she thought that the two of you had something real and now she knows that that’s not true. I’ve been through that. It’s– it’s like a punch in the gut.

Nate: It’s my fault. I should’ve broken things off earlier.

Victoria: Well, just think of it this way. Now, she’s free to find the right person.

Nate: I hope so. I do wish that for her. Because I know what that feels like now. I’m exactly where I want to be.

Adam: Elena! Thank god. Can you uh– can you help us?

Elena: Hey. What’s going on?

Adam: Uh, we were at society when her pain came on. It was sudden.

Elena: Okay, sally what are your symptoms?

Sally: I just have a headache and this pain in my right side.

Elena: Okay, have you ever felt that before?

Sally: No, just my headaches.

Adam: And her– her O.B. Said that she was at risk for preeclampsia and ordered her to rest.

Elena: Okay. Let’s get you to have a seat and we’re gonna get you admitted okay?

Sally: Oh, god! Oh, what is happening? I’m afraid it’s my– oh, it’s my baby. Please help me.

Elena: Okay, I’m gonna go get a triage nurse. Excuse me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mr. Ashford. I hope that it’s alright that I’m here. I’ll say this. Your young man doesn’t shrink from a challenge. Yeah, he puts up a good front. He believes in never letting them see you sweat. But right now, I’m guessing he’s sweating. What do you mean marcus didn’t seem well? It’s okay. It’s okay. Like I said, someone was there to help him. He’s not alone. Someone who? Who was with him? Oh, there she is right now. Jordan! She’ll tell us how marcus is doing. What you got there, bud? “Photo ark insects” by joel sartore. He takes all the pictures. I got to meet him once. You did? Very cool. It was at a show of all of joel’s animal pictures. My mom and dad took me. My dad got hurt. He’s in the hospital.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay, well, either ned recovers and he gets the sec to drop the charges, or we fight it out in court. Hey. We would both be putting our freedom on the line, right? And we don’t have to do that. What do you mean? We both don’t have to go down for this, carly. Only one of us does. Okay. That would be me. I’m the one who invested heavily in aurora after you and michael warned me not to. My mistake. My consequences. I just got a call from church. Looks like they could have an opening in the fall. Nina.

Nina? I’m sor– oh, thank you. The fall. The we– thank you. The wedding. Right. Wedding. Right. Right. Uh, I’m so sorry. I just — I’ve been trying to busy myself with crimson work and… it seems like all I can think about is ned. He just hit his head. He’s gonna make a full recovery. Probably. And then maybe he’ll start telling everybody the truth. To 50 years with my best friend and my soulmate.


I’m not gonna let you do prison time, carly. Unfortunately, it’s not up to you. Taking responsibility for your mistakes — I’m all for that. I think it’s absolutely fantastic. But just think about this for a second. What about donna? What about your grandkids and joss and michael and willow, who’s still recovering, and your mom? They all need you. You are — you’re the heart. You are the center of this family. I know putting them through a long trial wouldn’t be right. Okay. Then let me help you. How? By offering myself up. I’m gonna plead guilty. There’s nothing like a brush with death to shift your priorities. But who knows? Maybe ned will wake up and he’ll say that he tipped off the sec. Or maybe it wasn’t him. I don’T… oh, you’re doubting that ned tipped off the sec now? He gave me an impassioned plea telling me he didn’t do it. So I’m starting to wonder, maybe there was somebody else that had — that, you know, wants leverage against me. But you know what? We shouldn’t be worried about this right now. We have a church to book.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. You still want to do this, right? Oh, more than anything. If I marry you, sonny, I will be the luckiest woman alive. You just said “if.” Is there a question? I heard your dad had an accident. You must be really worried, huh? Granny tracy says we’re going to visit him. Yeah, well, that’s a good thing, right? He won’t even know I’m there. Granny tracy says he’s unconscious. That’s like asleep, but you can’t wake up. Okay. Fair point. But, I mean, your mom would like to see you, right? I don’t want to go. I get that. You want to know how I get over things that I’m scared to do? How? I talk it out with my friends. And you and me — we’re buddies, right? So, why don’t you tell me why you don’t want to go? I don’t want to see my dad like that. What if he doesn’t wake up? You’ve met jordan? You know her, too? Hi there. Hi. Hi!

[ Chuckles nervously ] I was just gonna introduce you to my sister, but it seems the two of you are already acquainted. Yes, of — of course. Hi. How are you, portia? I’m good. I’m so good. How are you? I was telling portia that I saw you help taggert onto the elevator and he seemed a bit unsteady. Yeah. Is — is marcus — is he doing okay? He’s fine. Felt a bit unwell, but there’s nothing to worry about. Good. Good. Thank you for talking to him for me. So… how do you two know each other? Oh, wow. It’s called

jammin’ at the savoy. It seemed appropriate. That’s a romare bearden print. This is not just a print. Signed by the artist? Limited edition. It’s a gorgeous piece. Some of the best jazz musicians in the world played at the savoy in harlem. Spencer, thank you. You can believe this will have a permanent spot at the savoy.

[ Clears throat ] In port charles. I should be thanking you, sir, for saving me and my brother in greenland. No thank-you necessary. I had a reason for being there. Trina was at the top of that list. But I do know how important you are to her. She’s very important to me too, sir. I hope that you believe that. Well, aren’t you the diplomat? That was, uh, very kind, son. You know, I-I just want my daughter to be happy. It doesn’t mean I’m not gonna keep my eye on him. Your gift was incredible and so thoughtful. I was aiming for good enough to not get thrown out. Then you exceeded your goal. And since you’re into making folks so happy, I have a request. Oh? I await instructions. Go ask if you could switch the playlist. I think you meant to say “when” we get — when! Of course.

When we get married. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Come in! Thank you. Hi. Hi. So, is, uh, avery ready? You know, avery and donna have been playing with wedding fabrics all morning. Oh. So you’re gonna have to pry them away. Out like a light, collapsed on a mountain of chiffon. It’s — it’s organza. Well, it doesn’t matter ’cause you can put burlap on, and you’d still be the most beautiful bride in the world. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, well, should I — should I wait in the hall?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh. Dante. What’s going on? They’re waking ned up now.


Okay. Now, please explain to me again why sonny went rushing off to the hospital. He doesn’t even like ned. Well, ava, it’s olivia. Dante called to reach out for some support. And also, I think sonny feels a little guilty. What — guilty for what? Accusing ned, because now all of a sudden, he’s not convinced that ned is the one who made that call to the sec. Oh. Well, still, sonny has no reason to suspect you. You just need to keep cool, keep quiet. Luckily, I’m the only one who knows the truth. Well, you, my attorney, martin gray. And now ned quartermaine knows the truth, too. Ugh. That’s no good. Too beggy.

[ Sighs ]

[ Keypad clicking ] Gladys, what’s g– I know it’s scary when someone you love is sick or hurt. But my adopted mom used to tell me that love is the most powerful medicine. And your dad — he loves you so much. I’m sure that he’s trying his best to get better for you. Well, my biological dad loved me. But it didn’t help him. He’s dead. Yeah. I’m sorry, leo. I bet you miss him a lot. No. I barely remember him. Well, ned has the best doctors taking care of him. And you won’t be alone, you know? You’ll have your mom, your stepsister, your granny, and all your friends. Like you?

[ Chuckles ] You bet. I’m not going anywhere. Leo, we’ve been looking everywhere for you. It’s time to go see your dad. Let’s go. Oof! You smell like horses. I like that smell. Yeah, well, go clean up. Um, I mean, you want to look nice for your dad, right? I guess. You know what? Besides, you need to put your book back in your room. You don’t want it to get all dirty and messed up down here, right? Right. I have to keep it safe. Bye! Bye. I’ve found leo responds better to gentle suggestions. Oh. You’re telling me about my grandson? I…met jordan last night at the pool. After you blew me off, I had to make alternate plans. Oh. Well, if you’ve met zeke, then he probably pinned you down for hours. Uh —

[ Coughs, clears throat ] Excuse me? Zeke is quite — he’s quite gregarious. Aren’t you, sweetie?

[ Laughs ] When he would come home from school, his report card would always say that he talked too much. He would go on and on and on and on and just keep talking. You probably found that out firsthand, huh? Yeah, well, he is certainly, uh, good company. Mm. Good afternoon, dr. Robinson. Commissioner ashford. Hey. Hello, spencer. Oh, I don’t know if you have met my — my baby brother, ezekiel robinson. Of course we did. Yes, of course. At your wedding. It’s good to see you again. You too. Alright, well, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll see you all outside. Yeah? Okay. Ugh! Of course trina invited spencer to the party. Of course she did. Party? Yes. It’s a party for curtis, actually. Oh. Oh, yes. Uh, that’s right. Today is his birthday. Stella reserved some space for us at the pool. You’re more than welcome to join us. If you’ll excuse me, please. Is there something you want to tell me? You called trina your daughter a moment ago. How did that feel? Well… I’m still wrapping my brain around everything, but, um…it felt good. Feels good.

[ Laughs ] It just warms my heart to hear it. To know you have not just a child, but that child. Yeah. Trina’s a remarkable young woman. And I thought so even before I had an inkling she was your daughter. Well, we haven’t discussed labels yet. So, for now, I’m still “curtis.” But I’m cool with that, you know? I’m just gonna follow her lead. You called me by my first name when I first returned. You know that? Didn’t change how I felt about you, or the fact that we’re family. Family. Yeah. I like the sound of that.

[ Laughs ] Mission accomplished, m’lady. Thank you. Trina. Spencer. Hey. Hey. I ran into spencer at the restaurant, and I reintroduced him to your uncle zeke. Oh! Cool. Thank you. Yeah. He seems like a good guy. Yes. Yeah, yeah. I’m so glad that you can make it, spencer. Happy to be included. You’re just in time for the cake. I wasn’t sure if you were gonna make it. [ Chuckles ] I had to drop off esme and ace at esme’s new job. Ace is at daycare there. Co-parenting a baby. That’s a lot of responsibility for a young man. So many moving parts that you have to juggle. I am the police commissioner, zeke. Oh, well, good thing I don’t have any unpaid parking tickets, commissioner ashford. You know, it’s — it’s so funny. That’s such a familiar surname. Are you related to…? Yes. I am curtis’s ex-wife.


spencer’s actually doing a really good job of balancing all of his responsibilities. I’m really proud of him. I’m just acknowledging that caring for a baby can be all-consuming, trina.

[ Chuckles ] You’re absolutely right. If you had told me a year ago that I would know how to comfort a colicky child, I would have laughed in your face. It’s certainly a big challenge. And my father wasn’t up to it, so I’ve assumed the responsibility. But, yes, you’re correct. It’s a big commitment. Which makes it all the more impressive that spencer

is stepping up. Yes, absolutely. What you’re doing, it’s — it’s admirable. But do me a favor a-and enjoy your youth while you can.

[ Chuckles ] Balancing friends and activities you know, while you’re caring for a little one, it can be — it can be quite exhausting. No matter what your intentions are. I’ll do my best. But one thing is for sure — that I’ll always make time for trina. And why is it you refuse to let me put candles on your cake? Because, aunt stella, candles are for kids. And besides, everything i would wish for… it’s already coming true. Not everything. Zeke: Did you know who I was when we met? Would I have confessed so much if I had? How was I supposed to know you were related to portia? So — so, wait a minute. The — the ex who you kissed, who went back to his wife… yeah. I, uh, realize this is an awkward position we’re in. Awkward po– yeah, awkward for you, but this is excruciating for me. My sister’s finally hopeful again. And now I’m sitting on information that could ruin everything? Okay. Nothing has to be ruined. Portia never has to know. What? Are you suggesting that I keep this from her? That kiss happened in a moment out of time. And that time is over, so let it go. I have. Okay, why don’t we start over?

[ Chuckles ] I’m cody. Oh, I know who you are. The question is, do you know who I am? I’m tracy quartermaine. I may not always be physically present, but I’m like the wind. I’m everywhere. And I know absolutely everything that’s going on in my family. And i definitely do not need to be brought up to speed by the hired help. And just to put you on notice, I will be counting the silverware. That’s not necessary. Why my family has a jewel thief in its employ is beyond me. You’d be gone the minute you got arrested. Normally, I would blame monica, but I understand that the only reason you’re still here is because you’ve got “mama q” wrapped around your little finger. And my son adores her. But that won’t help you with me. Leave him alone, granny. Uh… uh, you’re welcome. Nice to see you too, gladys.

[ Chuckling ] Sorry. Sorry. I wanted to make sure the screen wasn’t cracked. I’m such a butterfingers these days. Why are you so jumpy? Sasha’s meeting with a court-appointed shrink. I thought kevin collins was treating her. Yeah, but in order for her petition to be considered, the judge had to assign an “impartial medical practitioner.” Okay. What petition? What are you talking about? Sasha wants to sever the guardianship. Oh! That’s great. That’s great news. Right? Is it? I’ve instructed my lawyer to make a deal with the feds. Now, you’re not gonna get out of this unscathed, but you will stay out of prison. Call it off. It’s too late. He’s already proposed the deal, carly. Did the sec accept? My lawyer is very confident that they will. Now, you’re gonna have to pay a very big fine. I don’t care about the money. You’re standing here telling me you’re gonna go to prison instead of me. It’s very likely that I’m gonna spend some time behind bars, yes. I know you’re doing this for me and my family, but I’m not the only one with children. Scout has spent enough time away from you. Look, I — I hate the idea of me being away from scout again. Like, it kills me, believe me. But I know that scout is in a stable, loving home with sam and dante. This is a man that I like and I respect. If you go away, donna is with sonny. And nina. Ava: I can’t believe it. He — he overheard you with martin? Yes. And the second that ned wakes up, he is going to spill everything. No, no, no. Now, you don’t know that. Ava, I talked to ned before he had his accident, and he was determined to clear his name. And ned is not the only exposure I have. This so-called anonymous source isn’t so anonymous. Martin told me that the feds can uncover my identity. So, once sonny finds out that i am the cause of carly’s trouble, goodbye wedding, goodbye marriage, and goodbye love. And then willow… drew saved willow’s life. And carly is like… well, I was gonna say carly is like her second mother, but it’s more than that. Carly is willow’s mother by choice. And so when willow finds out that I am the one that turned in carly and drew, any chance that I have of forging a relationship with her is gone. Nina, nina, nina, come on, now. Just take a breath, okay? I just — I just wanted a little more time with sonny. I just wanted to be happy with him and be his fiancée just a little bit more. But ned is waking up. So that means… my time and my luck is running out. Well… maybe, but m-maybe not. I don’t want any more tricks, ava. Well, what I’m — what I’m proposing is — is, uh, more radical than any trick. If there’s any hope of salvaging things with sonny, there’s really only one thing to do. You have to go to him and tell him the truth.

Now.


You didn’t seem surprised when you found out that I was portia’s brother. I found out last night. I overheard portia introducing you as her brother. That’s why I texted you to meet up today. So, it wasn’t because you liked me and because of my sparkling conversation? I do like you. But this, it’s — it’s too messy. Last night shouldn’t have happened. So you regret sleeping with me. Got it.

[ Scoffs ] I think you know otherwise. But [Sighs] This whole situation is regrettable. And I’m pretty sure you feel your first loyalty is to portia. Which brings us back to your suggestion that I lie to her. Portia wants her marriage to work, right? And you just said that she was feeling hopeful again. So…why hurt what she and curtis are trying to rebuild? The best birthday gift that I can give you is space. I’m gonna move out, son. Pop, you don’t have to do that. I know I don’t have to, but i want to. I’m better now. I’m more confident. Picking up gigs here, there, everywhere. I got a nest egg saved.I can afford my own place. Dad, it’s great that you got — curtis, let your father finish before you try talking him out of it. Thank you, stella. Well, clearly auntie’s on your side. Ain’t no side, no right side here. The best thing you could do is focus on your marriage and your daughter. Spencer, I’m trying to be more forthright these days, so I need to tell you something. Okay. I know you have the best intentions where your baby brother is concerned, but I also know that you’re not the primary caregiver. What if the charges against esme are reinstated and all of that responsibility falls on you? Spencer: My uncle may have falsified this evidence. “May have falsified.” Probably falsified. In fact, I would be shocked if he didn’t falsify it. Okay. Tell me — tell me why you think that. Because a few months ago, I asked him for help getting custody of ace.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I’m sorry. This could be about ace. If you’ll excuse me. Hello? You don’t have to say it. I know you disapprove. I’m just trying to do what’s best for you, trina. I know. Did this whole family lose their mind while I was absent? After cody was charged with stealing the bracelet, dad did want to fire him, and I was the one who convinced him not to.

[ Laughing ] Oh! Really, brook lynn? The singing detective wasn’t enough? You needed a little cowboy as backup? No, it’s not like that. Cody’s really good with leo. Mm. All the more reason to get rid of the criminal. That’s accused criminal. Nothing’s been proven yet. Grandmother, ever since leo was diagnosed with being on the spectrum, it’s very important that he has people who accept him and understand him. That’s what his family’s for. Leo also needs consistency and routine. Look, I’d put money on it that dad being in the hospital is really messing with leo’s head. Don’t you get it? If you fire cody, you’re just gonna upend leo even more. You really want dad to have to clean up the mess you made with him recovering? Ooh, you are walking on thin ice, missy. So be it. I would do anything for leo. Alright. Owing to my deep and abiding love of this family, I will table this discussion for now. But while ned is recovering, we will very slowly and gently change leo’s routine. Take the time to find other employment ’cause the minute ned is better, you’re gone, pony boy. Huh. So, that’s my grandmother. You know, I never had a grandma. After meeting yours, I’m damn glad I didn’T.

[ Chuckles ] Ava, we have talked about this. If I tell sonny the truth, it’s over. He will never forgive me. I mean, he might. If you get out in front of it before he hears it from ned. I mean, there’s a chance that he could forgive you. Really. M-maybe not right away, but he’ll definitely appreciate you coming clean. But you have to get to the hospital before ned wakes up. If you don’t, you can kiss your life with sonny goodbye. Nina? Oh, so that’s it, huh? You’re just giving up? I — I have the feeling that today will be the end of my engagement, so I want to make it a little easy for sonny and leave the ring there. It’s time for me to… start letting go. Oh, honey. Can you stay with the girls? You don’t even have to ask.

[ Door closes ] Sasha’s feeling better, doing better ending the guardianship is a good thing.

[ Scoffs ] In theory. Is there something that you’re not telling me right now? ‘Cause if there is, you need to spit it out. I-I don’t think she’s ready, okay? That is up to sasha and the judge to decide. Not you, gladys. It’s too soon. What if she has a relapse? What — what would happen to her business? Her reputation? Sonny, if sasha does this right now, it could ruin her life. We have to protect sasha. Y-you can’t let this happen.


Of course I want to protect sasha. And you still haven’t given me reason to think she can’t handle her life. She did well on that tv show, didn’t she? Huh? When she was under pressure in the whole thing. What? What? Okay. Oh, well, we got lucky. But you know how it is with mental health and her state of mind. I mean, are those struggles ever truly over? We are two different people with different circumstances. Yes, we have overcome a lot. And we’ve gotten help. But sasha has handled the guardianship with dignity. She’s gonna be okay. I want my daughter-in-law to be healthy and independent some day. Gladys — I just don’t want her making a hasty decision.

Gladys. That is up to the judge.

[ Sighs heavily ] But sasha respects you. She will listen to you. Sonny, will you talk to her? Please convince her to give this arrangement a little more time. I’m gonna leave you two to settle this. But as for my part, I think marshall’s making good sense, baby. Pop, portia and I told you, you always have a home with us. And that won’t change, will it? This is addition by subtraction. By my absence, I’m creating more room. You and portia work your lives out. Trina — she’s out of school now. She’s gonna eventually want to come home. I sure hope so. Take this time. Work on your family. ‘Cause this part of the family? It’s alright.

[ Chuckles softly ] Right? We good. Everything okay? No. Esmé called. The daycare provider is ill, so they’re shutting down for the day as a precaution. So I have to go pick him up. She can’t do it? No. She’s at work. Same with kevin and my grandmother. Look, I hate this, but… you got to go. Portia’s been through so much. I hope you’ll consider sparing her more pain. As for me? Well, thank you for being a true gentleman. I’m not sure which spencer cassadine I find more infuriating. The entitled brat or the “new version,” the responsible, aspiring parent.

[ Sighs ] But whichever one shows up, it doesn’t matter. I just don’t see how he can make trina a priority. So, what’s this about him wanting to be an aspiring parent? He’s trying to get custody of his baby brother, whose mother is his ex-girlfriend who tried to frame trina. Man. No wonder you’re not a fan of that family. Messy, right? There’s a lot going on.

[ Sighs ] I just don’t want trina involved with any of that stuff. And even though I do believe that spencer does care about trina, I just don’t think he can give her the attention that she deserves. No one can be a devoted partner when their focus is so split.

[ Scoffs ] Unfortunately, you met my grandmother on a bad day. Ah. Is this the part where you tell me that her bark’s worse than her bite? Oh, no, they’re both bad. But that’s tracy. She’ll stick the screws to you and come through for you in equal measure. Translation — she’s a quartermaine. You are learning.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, I’m really sorry about ned. I’ve been praying for you and your family. And if there’s anything more I can do, just let me know. Just keep supporting leo. Yeah. Uh, he’s taking it pretty hard. I caught him with his nose in a book earlier. Some pictures of insects. Yeah. Those joel sartore photo art books. He loves those. Yeah. Yeah, he said that his mom and dad took him to meet the photographer. Leo got pretty shaky when he was talking about ned’s accident. He knows that he’s unconscious. He’s really worried. Well, thank you for telling me. I’m glad he has you as a friend to count on. Well, I’m not doing much good if I go to jail, and it looks like my days are numbered. Let’s just wait it out. Really. I mean, I read somewhere that the statute of limitations on sec investigations is five years. Can you make it that long with a hold on your finances? You taking the rap for me can’t be our only option, drew. It can’T. Carly, this is my choice. I don’t want you feeling guilty about this. It’s not just guilt. It’s heartbreak. I can’t stand the thought of losing you.


Miss henry, I’m so sorry. I have to leave. Oh, well, thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. And thank you for coming. You earned major points with that gift. Well, I like your family. They’re good people. I’m not going anywhere. Except for daycare. Pop, I appreciate your offer to move out. But this isn’t settled. No, look, look. I’m not talking about going far away. Those days are over, son. But you and portia — you bought that home for your shared future. And from where I stand, that future looks like it’s possible again. Trina’s sharp. She realizes spencer’s life is complicated. She should see the patterns. She shouldn’t have to compromise. She shouldn’t have to come in second place in her boyfriend’s life. Both you and trina deserve better. Me? Look, don’t be mad at curtis for how he behaved on my wedding night, okay? I mean, there was a lot going on. No, no, no, no. My issue with curtis is how he’s behaved since the wedding. I’ll talk to sasha. But I’m not gonna, you know, convince her of anything. I’ll let her decide what’s best.

[ Sighs ] And if she doesn’t know what that is? I trust sasha, and you should too, gladys.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here? Are the girls okay? Uh, yeah. Ava’s with the girls. I — I had to see you. What’s wrong?

[ Sighs ] Where’s your ring? Okay, austin, sonny is gone and the girls are asleep, so I have his apartment to myself until the nanny gets here, which could be any moment. So I have to be quick. If you were incriminating information that mason wants, where would you hide? Does your case really look that bad? No one can disprove gladys’ claim that I stole that bracelet. Well, hang in there, okay? You have the full support of my entire family. Granny aside, we’d hate to lose you. You mean leo would. No. We’d all miss you. We’ve all gotten used to having you around, especially leo. Look, I’ll work on my grandmother. You’ll always have a home here, okay?

[ Footsteps approaching ] Are you coming or what? That’s my cue.

[ Chuckles ] Bye, cody! I’ll see you, bud. Hey. You got this. Okay. Let’s do it.

[ Imitates slide whistle ]

[ Chuckling ] Let’s go, leo. Bye. Come on. You’re not gonna lose me. Carly, no matter what, no matter where I am, if I’m in prison, anywhere, I’m still yours. But I want you to know that — that I understand if you don’t want to wait for me. That’s not gonna happen because none of this is gonna happen. We’re not doing this. I have to do this. I have to do this for you. I don’t want you to do this for me! I’m doing this for us.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There. How was your shower? It was pleasant enough. I suppose. That shower head though, that’s a bit much. A bit much. It’s supposed to be the Costa Rican waterfall experience of a lifetime. Did it at least wash off the sickly sweet smell of incessant fawning. On Earth is that supposed to mean? Well, here I am reading your interview with a murderous kidnapper who comes off like Mahatma Gandhi, thanks to your gushing and flattery.

Oh, you read my interview? I see. Well, that’s a step up from you perusing photos of the shirtless Hemsworth Brothers, can I read you my favorite quote with his scores of crimes against humanity being well-documented and a rap sheet that would make Al Capone blush. You can only imagine my astonishment at discovering that Dimitri Vaughn Leischner does indeed have a heart.

Well, it looks like someone dialed up the charm to an 11 last night. If you’re referring to yours, truly, my charm does not have a dial. It lives at an 11. Uh, well, from what I’m reading, it seems you made significant headway in regards to Operation Seduce and Mary Gwen Rizek. Yes, I believe I have. Although, I must admit, I’m a little surprised not to find Mother waiting here on tenor Hooks ready to hear all about it.

You really think it’s a smart idea for you to be here? Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. I waited patiently until all of your little roomies scurried off, and I knew you were alone. It’s vital now that we continue our conversation, why was our call cut short? Is someone walking on you? Yes, actually, I was rudely interrupted when my brother EJ overheard our plan to eliminate Stephan.

Stepan Stephan up. Stepan, you need to let me in. Our sister Megan came crazy. She tied me up in the secret room, but I escaped. Stephan, listen brother, I overheard her Ploting to kill you. Stephan open the body door.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Brother. Brother,

oh,

yes.

It was a dream. God. It was just a dream,

but now I’m stuck in a nightmare on my own.

Tommy come, oh, uh, Stefan, why don’t you use a battering ram next time? I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. You want to tell me what this is about, Nicole? Because the way you were knocking made it sound like that it was a matter of life and death. Well, I’m. I’m looking for ej. Do you know where he is?

Megan? Oh, shoot. Heartless psychopath. You better go find another island to go hide under because when I get out of here and wrap my hands around your neck. Dear sister, you’re gonna be sorry you never came back from the dead.

With the love of God. Megan, why would you tell EJ about our plan to off Stephan? No, you didn’t hear me. I said EJ overheard me on the phone. Of course I wouldn’t choose to tell him. Okay. Okay. What exactly did he overhear? He overheard that I said, my brother is not long for this world. I. And being the self-absorbed narcissist that he is.

Of course he assumed that I was talking about him. Did, did he know it was me on the other end of the conversation? No, no, no, no, he didn’t. So then I explained to him he had the wrong brother and that it was actually Stephan that we were planning to do away with, and that it might work out in his best interest as much as mine.

Okay. So did he go for it? It felt promising briefly, and then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Look at what you’ve made me do.

Followed by a sudden attack of being vase.

Well, I have no idea where your mommy is this morning, but why don’t you come and sit next to Auntie Kristen and tell me all about it.

So did you get on your knee and. Ask for Ms. Riz check’s hand in marriage, or are you waiting for an actual date with her? I’m, uh, I’m sensing the slightest tinge of disapproval. Oh, come now. I’d be quite the hypocrite to disapprove. And you doing whatever you need to do to attain your goal. Huh? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours.

Huh? Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? You know what? How about in the future you stop reading my interviews and you go back to looking at pictures of the shirtless heworth brothers. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m just teasing you. No, you were questioning my journalistic integrity says the girl who didn’t hesitate to use blackmail to wrestle control of the spectator away from her old man.

Hey. If memory serves. That was your idea. One of my more inspired ideas at that. But we are straying way off topic. Yes. For good. I hope. No, no, no. Miss Heda hopper wannabe. Not until you explain to me why you went so easy on that scoundrel. Who is so, so easy on the eyes.

Look, Mr. Von Ner and I sat down and we had a rather nice chat. No, I had a roommate once who had a cat named Dimitri. Hello. I thought you wanted to hear about my lunch with the scoundrel. I do, I do. I’m just processing my distress over being exiled from my home. This room that we share so that the two of you can have one-on-one private time.

And when I returned hours past midnight dying to be debriefed, you weren’t even here. You wicked little gat about you. So tell me, after the bistro, did he take you to the hop word on the street? Is that Mr. Von Leischner can cut quite the rug for your information? No, we stayed here and we ordered room service.

Oh hmm. And did you eat your meals in bed under the cubbies? Of course. Not such restraint. Oh no. We sat down and ate in chairs and then when the interview concluded, I made a beeline for the office, wrote up a quick article to get into the morning edition. Hmm. It’s like all the president’s men minus the mutton chops and newsrooms.

What were we supposed to watch that the other night? I know you Gwenie and your article is dripping with subtext. I didn’t have to read much between the lines to know that you’ve got a thing for Dimitri. God, stop it. I barely know him. Yeah, and I know you better than anyone else on the planet. Lady Gwenivere over his Czechia.

So don’t try and pollute lady whistleblower’s air with your lies and deception.

Okay, fine. Yes. He’s quite attractive. I mean, who wouldn’t, who doesn’t? Nobody with eyes and a libido. Yes, exactly. But even beyond that, I, when I was talking to him and getting to know him, I, I realized we have so much in common. Oh, so the two of you were kindred spirits, huh? I wouldn’t go that far, but I would say that there was.

Definitely a connection there.

I actually happen to, like Gwen, she’s smart, savvy, gutsy, but I’m the one who got her the pardon and she owes me not the other way around. Right. Mm. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I, uh, I enjoyed her company. Oh yeah. She, uh, she, she seemed to really listen to everything that I had to say, and she even related to a number of my life experiences.

You mean? You mean the life experiences you no doubt tailored to me hers, the ones that were laid out in detail in the dossier that your mother gave you. Fine, yes. I may have embellished a few details and told her what she wanted, but Okay. Just. Be careful that it doesn’t turn into marriage gate with a reporter breaking her own story.

Well, that’s not gonna happen. Oh, in any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You do know, you do know that, um, mommy dearest, uh, has some big, bold plans of that inheritance of yours. No, she hasn’t made much of a secret about that. No, mommy dearest has a plan for everything.

Absolutely everything.

Nicole. I don’t know where EJ is. Have you checked between the couch cushions? This is serious, Stephan. Okay. EJ has made it abundantly clear that he’s not my keeper, so why should I be his? Because you’re his flesh and blood. Look, last night he sent me a text saying he had to go out of town for a last minute business trip, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I’m worried about him, Stefan, and I thought maybe you might know something. Well, I don’t, Nicole. And the fact that I don’t, and the fact that you don’t should tip us off to one thing, and that is, as we speak, EJ is probably up to something, uh, what’s the word, underhanded. Damn ropes. Okay, come on. Come, come on.

Deep breathy J. Deep breath. Calm. Calm. You’re gonna have to use every bit of your strength to free yourself and get out of here so you can warn Stephan about that at our sister of ass.

Okay? Okay. Okay. So E j’s tied up. In the secret room underneath the Demer Mansion seemed like the logical place to statue him. How’d you even know about it? I thought you never lived in that house. Well, I learned about it last year when I dispatched my beloved boat to relieve Kristen or that rare orchid.

In hindsight, I wish I had never actually sent him here to Salem. If I hadn’t, perhaps, then everything would’ve turned out differently. As much as I. Delight in hearing about all the questionable decisions you’ve made in your past. I’d rather talk about the current offering of choice that will preclude destroying my future.

Because if EJ tells anyone, EJ has been taken care of, your Honor, it’s immaterial. He’s my problem not yours. You. My handsome co-conspirator. You need to focus your full attention on eliminating Stephan so that you can eventually reunite with Gabriela Hernandez. Now, isn’t that what you want?

So how are we gonna do this? How? How are we going to eliminate Stephan?

Wait, you’re not thinking I’m the one who’s going to kill him, are you?

Ah, finally. Yeah. Sorry I’m late. Well, you should be, since you’re the one who called this meeting. Yeah. So am I correct in assuming that you gave some thought to what I proposed the other day? I have. And I’m in excellent. Megan Hathaway has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt somebody else.

Well, I’m so glad that you came to your Senses. Commander Michaels, obviously, we agree that she’s a minister to society, so when she’s soundly sleeping in her unmarked grave, I’m not, I’m not gonna kill her. Okay. So I. I don’t understand. I’m confused. You just said that you’re on board for getting rid of her and I still am.

In all my years of being a seal, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make somebody disappear.

I don’t see why you’d be put off with the concept of murder, Mr. Chin. Have you forgotten that? You’ve already made an attempt on my brother’s life when you pulled the plug on him and Dr. Rawla, which is why if Stephan Demara is the victim of foul play, I’d be the chief suspect. Prison may be a great place to, you know, finish Moby Dick, but I hear the food is pretty bland.

Well, good thing you’re not going to have to find out, but, but you just said that I was leading you astray, Mr. Shan. I would not trust an important job like this to an amateur assassin who couldn’t even get it right the first time. No, Mr. Shan, we need someone. With ice in their veins. Someone who is trained to kill and willing to kill, and I know just who that someone is.

So you’re gonna exile Megan permanently to a place she can’t ever leave and she’ll never hurt another soul again. So are you talking like a, a black side? Unless, unless you know the better. Okay. I’m fine. I’m fine. But the one thing I do know is that I’m gonna sleep a lot better once I know that woman is Spanish.

Yeah. You and a lot of other people. Indeed. But you do know we have to keep gifts between you and me. Okay. Yeah, of course is my husband, for better or worse, is a man of conscience. I mean, he believed that Orus had killed me and still he stopped Steve and John from Avening my death by killing Orus. So if he finds out about our little plan, as much as he loads Megan for what she did to me, he will definitely try to stop us.

Understood. You know, another thing I was thinking about too seems rather like cruel and unusual punishment to separated mother from her son. So as long as you have Megan blindfolded in an unmarked van, I’m thinking might as well pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

So Dimitri flashes you as baby browns as pearly whites. Maybe breaks out a van Leischner and you go softer on him than a goose feather pillow. Wrong, not to mention very unfair and disrespectful. I will have you know that I asked him some very hard questions, but something else got real hard during that interview.

I swear. Matt, hold on. Let’s see. Let’s see. Uh, no, actually I don’t see any mentions of how he kidnapped Kate Roberts or threatened to blow up half the houses of Parliament in Europe or Salem itself, for that matter. The little speck on the map that we call home and nothing about, and this is highly significant to me, obviously, but how he manhandled yours truly.

And last but certainly not least, not a single hard question about his psychopathic mother. What. I think you were just a tiny little bit jealous that he’s interested in me and not you. Oh, breaking news. Gwenivere. As much as I adore you forever, I hate to hold the stop sign up to this little ego trip of yours, but it’s obvious to anyone with two eyes that Dimitri has an ulterior motive.

Oh, and what might that be? Prey. Tell my sweet little darling Misanthropic friend. It’s not misanthropic ness, miss. Whatever. I’m quite fond of. Most of humanity. Well, you anyway, but to answer your question, I don’t have a crystal ball, so I don’t know what lies ahead for you and Dimitri, the dastardly, but I would swear on my life that that dude is not motivated to charm that cute little tushy of yours and swear that the two of you are separated at birth because he thinks you’re the BE’S knees, which you are, but that’s irrelevant.

It’s because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan. Oh, like all great leaders before her. Your mother is wisely circumspect on the particulars of global Agen enemy, though I did hear her mention something about amassing an army of sorts with Harris Michaels at the helm, whatever that means. Uh, I guess it means that someone fell asleep in front of the history channel one too many times.

Man, mom, just, she sounds, sounds delusional. Grandiose. Yeah. I guess nothing new there. Yeah. Well, she can hand me a helmet and stick me on the trenches for all I care. Oh. I only intend to stay on my sister’s good side so that she can assist me in the resources necessary to regain full custody of my daughter.

Wow. So you’re going the legal route this time. That must be a whole new, exciting feeling for you. Oh, it’s gonna be a challenge to say the least. Brady has his little lawyer slash sister in his corner to keep me away from Rachel, and she is an attack dog, and I need an attorney to put a muzzle on her.

Unfortunately, it has been a challenge convincing someone to represent me. If only you had a hotline or a an app for this dilemma? No, no. I actually have someone in mind who might that be. Sloan Peterson, though. She is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Well, that sounds like a conflict of interest to me.

Mm. Which I am confident that I can mitigate. You see? Dimitri, you are not the only one in this family who can turn on the charm. You know, I have heard Madame Mozel Peterson has a weakness for a, uh, very rare vintage champagne. A 96 Louisie owns put Mm, yes. And we have some in the cellar just collecting dust.

So, If I can turn on said charm and present her with said bottles, then I am quite sure that she’ll accept a retainer in. Bubbles.

Are you insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that I don’t know about? Right Nicole? It is certainly within the realm of possibility, don’t you think? No, I don’t think, and that, and this can’t be what’s happening because EJ and I are supposed to have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or, or how.

I can carry this baby to term and he did a lot of research to find this doctor, so I’m just trying to understand how he could suddenly be Mia. It doesn’t make any sense. Okay. Nicole, I hate to break this to you, but do you think that maybe just maybe. Killing my chances at Demara is more important to EJ than having this baby with you,

ej.

Putting aside your comprehensive knowledge of my rather checkered history with members of the opposite sex, how many bruises and bumps has my self-esteem and my ego sustained? I mean, what possible objective could Dimitri hope to achieve by charming me? Let me put my thinking cap on for a second. Hmm, I’ve got it.

Maybe the glowing article he’d hoped you’d write about him, which you in fact did. I mean, you can’t buy press like that. Oh, can’t is a strong word. Are you saying that the only reason he was interested in me is, was to use you to rehabilitate his reputation? Ding, ding, ding. Well, okay. I mean, yes, it did. It did occur to me, but I, I made sure to maintain the utmost professionalism and he seemed, he seemed really genuine.

No, I’m, no, I’m not diluting myself here. I. There was a definite attraction. There was this, it was like an electricity. It was so palpable. I’m telling you, I could feel it.

Because Dimitri is as cold-blooded and as manipulative as his mother and that son of a bitch. And I mean that literally might not have actually tried to kill me, but he did hold me hostage and he did force me to the head A boatload of fish was, was not only disgusting, it was totally moralizing. So yes, I would like to see that little mama’s boy just cut off at the knees.

I, I, I understand. I do, but making two people disappear. Well, yeah. I mean if it’s a matter of a incept in shovel, if Dmitri disappears along with Megan, it increases the risk substantially. So what are you saying? That’s what I’m saying. You bring the sun into the mix. It could complicate the mission to neutralize the mother.

I know you had Michael’s brainwash once, but I thought the is a D programmed him. I did, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t reprogram him to do my bidding, and that Lee is where you come in. Not my area of expertise, I’m afraid. However, you can secure someone whose area of expertise it is. I’m thinking, Dr.

Wilham rolls. I trust you know where he might be. You want me to bring the good doctor back to Salem? I do indeed. See, that’s not much to ask. Really. Rather simple, isn’t it? So let’s play this out. Dr. Rolfe programs Commander Michaels to murder Stephan and then OneLA. You and I both get exactly what we want.

Consider it done.

Stephan, you don’t know your brother like I do. I know him well enough to know that he’s a pompous. Ass, or shall I say pomp is rs. What does that have to do with him standing me up for something that’s important to both of us? Like I said, Nicole, nothing is more important to EJ than screwing me up. Oh, damn it Stephan.

I am not gonna wait into your sibling rivalry. I know this baby means too much to EJ to just blow off this appointment so he could love a grenade into this family feud. EJ has moved heaven and earth to get us this appointment with this doctor, and I know I trust that he’s gonna be there by my side for it.

Kristen, thank God you’re here. What? Who the hell did this to you with SCA and stuff in? No, it wasn’t that I, our bloody sister, Megan, but maybe you already know that. Excuse me. Maybe you were a part of this. I knew you two had your heads together plotting something. Oh my God. I had no idea what she was planning.

I just came down here looking for some champagne. Thank God you did. Okay. I know rational thought is not her strong suit, but did she give you a reason why she tied you up down here? She wanted to stop me from stopping her from killing our brother, Stephan.

As a thought experiment. Let’s just say I’m wrong, which I’m not. Almost never am. Let’s just say that Dimitri is vibing with you the way you’re vibing with him. Even if that were true. Aren’t you still licking your wounds from your ZA to break up? Yes, but I suppose I am, but. I mean, it’s not the worst way to get over someone.

Is it having a sexy, dangerous, probably very rich hotty to distract you. A sexy, dangerous, probably very rich Heidi who has made it clear he wants to kill me. Your best friend or so you claim it’s not a claim. It’s true. But think about it, Matty, if I can keep spending time with Dimitri and he thinks of me as the.

Bees knees, or however you put it, then I might even be able to talk him out of wanting to throw you against or through a wall every time he sees you. And maybe just maybe I can show him that you are not the obnoxious, incredibly annoying person that he and everybody else on this planet seems to think you are.

Okay. I’m not ruling out the possibility of dealing with Dimitri, but right now we just need to stay focused. I’m getting rid of Megan. Okay. Megan is the more pressing threat. No doubt. So what’s your, your time schedule? Well, why put off until tomorrow, which you can get done today. Okay. Call me when you’re done.

Aj, where are you?

Hi, aj. It’s me again. You know, at first I was really pissed off that you skipped town and didn’t return any of my phone calls or texts, but now I’m, I’m just worried I’m. I’m at the hospital for our appointment about the baby. Hopefully you just lush your phone and you’re on your way.

Well, well, well brother off to the office. Someone’s gotta keep this company running. Little Birdie told me EJ took another day off. Must have found a couple of palm trees in a hammock. Well, I hope he’s enjoying every moment of it. Life is fleeting and one day we’re all gonna look back and have tons of regrets.

All those woulda, coulda, should us. So live it up while you can. Seize the day as much as I’m enjoying this little Ted talk, Megan, I can’t help but wonder if you’ve had a chance to go over the proposal Gabby and I put together for you.

Well, it definitely sparked some ideas and left me with a few burning questions, but that time is precious and I don’t wanna keep you. Mm. We’ll talk later, right?

Assuming you’re still alive.

Hello, Donny.

I read the article in The Spectator Impressive. It seems that Ms. Rizek is already smitten with you. It oozes out of every sentence. Thank you. Well, uh, to be honest, I’m quite smitten with her as well. Wonderful. Well, perhaps you ought to go see her. Keep the momentum going. Perhaps I will. You know, before I go, uh, mother, I was just speaking to Aunt Kristen and well, she mentioned something.

She mentioned that she were putting together an army. What exactly is it that you’re doing, mother?

Whatever I do my. It’s with you in mind. So you just go sweep that British journalist off her feet and move us closer to our goal. Right.

By the way, where is that sister of mine now? Oh, she, uh, she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement. Yeah, I’m sure if you checked, she’d still be there right now. Bye mother.

Why would Megan wanna kill Stephan? Would you be so kind as to undo these bloody nods while we play 20 questions we need to him? Yes.

Okay. These are. Oh my god, these are tied pretty tightly. Yes, I’m well aware of that. Uh, speaking of difficult, not to mean, there was this, um, game that Brady and I used to play. Oh, no, no, no. Not now, not ever. Fine fight. Fine, fine, fine. Just go on about Megan and her motives. She said she was motivated to eliminate Stephan because she wanted to reshuffle the family power dynamics.

Oh God. That it would be some sort of means to whatever twisted ends, she’d conjured up in her disease brain. Well, I need to find something to cut those ropes with, so just hang tight. I wouldn’t do that if I were you.

Sorry, but I cannot support this burgeoning fake romance between you and the venomous bond leischner, even if you could convince that creep to solve all the world’s problems, including climate change, inflation, threat of nuclear war, and rehabbing my reputation. Okay, fine, fine, fine. You’ve made your point.

I sure as hell hope so, because I see a whole lot of ambivalence in those big, soulful eyes of yours. Well, I’m fighting that ambivalence. Okay. I mean, what if your instincts are right, Matty? What if he’s just playing me like a fiddle just to get good press? What if I’m acting like a silly little school girl who has a crush on the jock who can’t even remember her name?

Hey. Hey, uh, I wanna thank you for letting your divorce with Gabby go through so smoothly. She and I are, uh, you know, yeah, I know soon to be married. I’ll keep an eye out for my invitation. I’s knew Gabby would end up with the love of her life.

Speaking of you, thank you. I told Gabby her happiness means a lot to me, so, um, When’s the big day? End of next month.

Well, congratulations.

Thank you.

Too bad you won’t live long enough to say. I do.

So, is it fair to assume that you no longer have any queries about whether or not our system, Megan, is utterly unhinged? You know, I swear I had no idea what she was planning. Okay. I’ll admit, I will admit that when she pitched the these grandiose ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, I did go along with it.

Oh, but she is so much more deranged and sadistic than I thought. You know what? We could be her next victims after she’s done with Stephan. Seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan outta the way to get to me first.

I need to finally,

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: Hope, did you get the accessories list I sent you?

Hope: Oh, yes, I did. Thank you, mom. They look beautiful or should I say, grazie.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Thomas: It’s all coming together?

Hope: I know. I’m starting to get excited.

Carter: You’re not the only one. Katie forwarded some press about the preview. Check it out, man.

Thomas: Yeah. Huh. “Some of europe’s highest-profile influencers and fashion elite are streaming into rome for the much anticipated hope for the future preview.”

Steffy: No pressure.

Ridge: It should be a shining moment for our dream team.

Waitress: Another bourbon?

Liam: Uh, god, yes. Thank you.

Waitress: Of course.

Deacon: What’s the matter? You don’t– uh, you don’t like it? I told them extra vegan.

Liam: No, I’ve had it before. It’s– it’s really great. I’m just um, not very hungry.

Deacon: You missing hope? Yeah, me too. You know, she’s got a lot going on. She’s got her– her premiere. She’s got the press event.

Liam: Yeah. Well, you know, fingers crossed it’s a huge success.

Deacon: I know you want it to be a success. I do too. I also know that thomas is going on the trip and I can see from the look on your face, you ain’t too happy about that.

Liam: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Rj: Hello. Have a proposition for you.

Eric: What’s that?

Rj: Well, steffy and dad are out of town. So that means that you are commander-in-chief. So, I was wondering if you would like to shake things up a little bit.

Eric: All right, I’m up for that.

Rj: Okay.

Eric: It’s very, uh, energizing for me to be so engaged at this company that I have, uh, built from the floor up. Yeah.

Rj: And it suits you. You look good behind that desk, chief.

Eric: That’s why I bought it. I love this desk. Come on, I’ve had this desk for a long time. Cost me a lot of money back in the day. Believe me. I’ve got a lot of satisfaction behind this desk, but no more satisfaction than I get from the drafting table. Have you– uh, have you reconsidered that? What about you, uh, picking up a pencil and uh, trying your hand at design?

Liam: You are, uh, very perceptive. I do not like the idea of thomas being there with hope, no.

Deacon: It’s a business trip.

Liam: For hope it is, 100%. For thomas, I don’t know what it is. It could be something else.

Deacon: She says he’s changed. She says he isn’t like that anymore.

Liam: Yeah. No, so I hear from literally everyone. It’s just, I don’t buy that and I don’t know if I ever will.

Steffy: Do you ever turn off those creative juices?

Thomas: Oh, is our C.E.O. Complaining?

Steffy: No, not at all. Just don’t spend the entire trip with your nose in a sketch pad. This is an incredible moment for you. I’m really proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you. It’s like the sweetest. I love it, hearing you say that. There was a long time where you weren’T.

Steffy: No. Yeah, well, it’s nice to see that you’re turning your life around.

Carter: Transportation team. They’re ready for us.

Ridge: Oh, you’ve got this all figured out, don’t you?

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: This event is very important for hope for the future.

Ridge: Very important. And you know what? I couldn’t have done it without you. When we’re done, I’m gonna take you to my favorite bar in rome to celebrate.

Carter: That sounds nice, but you might have other plans by then.

Ridge: Other plans? I’m gonna go with my best friend, have a beer. What are you talking about?

Carter: Yeah, that sounds good, but, you know, I’m sure you’re happier that brooke came along for the ride. You know what they say, rome is one of the most romantic cities on the planet. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Rj: I respect so much what you do, granddad. You know that, right?

Eric: I’m not gonna force you, son. Not at all.

Rj: Uh-huh?

Eric: But if you did have an interest in doing this, your father and I would be glad to show you the ropes, you know.

Rj: You’re giving me glad? My dad would be elated.

Eric: He would. He’s proud of you. He sees the talent you have, you know. We’ve both seen your work. It’s terrific and the energy and the creativity you have inside. You’re a forrester, no question about it.

Rj: Thank you. That means a lot coming from you. But you know, I’m working on my own stuff. I’m doing my own thing and enjoying it.

Eric: Your dad was a trailblazer too and he was his own man at your age, you know. He was. You have a lot in common, really. Look, he’s so proud of you and he– he and your mother are both very happy to have you home.

Rj: I’m not gonna lie. I’m really enjoying being back in L.A. I’m not gonna lie.

Eric: Good. You don’t feel left out a little, not going on the trip to rome with everyone else?

Rj: What? Are you kidding me? Listen, we are gonna have so much fun here. They’re gonna wish that they stayed.

Eric: All right.

Rj: Fair?

Eric: I’m with you. I have to wonder though, how this trip to rome is gonna affect your parents.

Liam: You know, I keep reminding myself that every obstacle hope and I have ever faced, we overcame.

Deacon: And you really think that this situation with thomas could be that serious?

Liam: I don’t want it to be, but look at all the stress it’s causing in our marriage. Everything is– is a disagreement now. I mean, I would, you know what? We couldn’t have one– one casual, normal conversation before this trip and that’s on me. It’s because I– I can’t get past it, but every time thomas gets brought up, it ends in an argument, it just does.

Deacon: It’s– it’s got to be frustrating for you and for her.

Liam: Frustrating? That’s diplomatic.

Deacon: Hey, I’m just saying, you see him one way, she sees him another. I don’t know any woman who’s more committed to her husband and family than my daughter.

Liam: You know what hope needs from me? Not just faith. She needs me to have faith in her decision to work with thomas. She needs me to believe, really believe that nothing bad is gonna happen. And my gut says, no.

[ Liam chuckling ] I– I can’t– I can’t do it. I can’t shake this– this ominous feeling about hope and thomas in rome together.

Thomas: Trying to make it more bold as– as it goes down the dress toward the ground. Okay. Yeah. No, I should– I should work more on this, sorry.

Hope: No. No, I’m sorry. Sorry.

Thomas: No. Honestly, it’s okay. It’s okay. You should rest and– and we’ll hit the ground running when we get there, right.

Hope: Yeah. Well, I kind of have this running checklist going through my mind right now, making it a little hard to fully relax, so.

Thomas: I could give you a massage like I did on the way home from san francisco.

Hope: I don’t think my mom or your sister would appreciate that.

Thomas: You are probably right. Though your mom does seem pretty distracted with my dad right now.

Brooke: Our kids really are keeping an eye on us.

Ridge: I know. It’s only gonna get worse when we get to rome.

Brooke: Well, I don’t mind it from the press but, uh, from thomas, after everything he’s put us through.

Steffy: Thomas, have you heard from mom?

Thomas: No. Why have– have you?

Steffy: No, I– I– I texted her after we took off, but I’m thinking she’s feeling a little left behind.

Hope: Well, taylor understands this is a business trip, right? I mean, it’s not like ridge and brooke are on vacation.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re not going to have a minute to relax.

Thomas: Yeah. And we are not gonna try and get our parents back together. That’s not happening again.

Steffy: It’s not happening. We want her father to be happy and that means his choice. Not ours.

Hope: Same goes with my mom.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I think right now, we just need to focus on work, minimize distractions. That won’t be a problem, will it?

Hope: What is that supposed to mean?

Steffy: I don’t know. You got on the flight a little late. How did it go with liam before you left? Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Eric: I’ve been a real brooke and ridge fan for a very long time. Don’t sit on the desk.

Rj: Okay. You know what? I– I have been too.

Eric: Yeah. Must have been a big disappointment for you when their– their marriage ended?

Rj: Yeah. Actually, it was shocking that it happened that quickly. But, you know me, my days of matchmaking are over, unlike steffy and thomas, so.

Eric: No, I think maybe they put that behind them too.

Rj: No, I know. I just thought it was smartest to stay away. Avoid getting involved in any drama, you know?

Eric: Not really your thing, right?

Rj: What? The family drama?

Eric: Yeah.

Rj: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I love the family drama. It’s wonderful.

Eric: That’s just a little too much sarcasm.

[ Rj laughing ]

Rj: Honestly, don’t get me wrong, I– I would like to see my parents together again. Honestly, I mean, I think they’re happier that way, but, I don’t know. I guess it’s just– it’s gotta be something that they really want, something that they both really push for.

Eric: Well, between you and me, I think it’s what they both want. I just think the timing hasn’t been right so far. Wait a minute, rome. Rome is a pretty romantic place, you know. We’ll see.

Deacon: Ominous? Don’t you think maybe that just sounds a little dramatic?

Liam: Yeah. Trust me, I– I hope I’m freaking myself out over nothing, but this is not the first time I’ve been around this block with thomas.

Deacon: Have you told hope how you feel about it?

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: This is all I’ve been saying since he went back to work at forr– no, this is all I’ve been saying since she decided to rehire him on her line.

Deacon: Okay. But she wouldn’t have done that if she had any doubts.

Liam: She did though. We both did. She was just as worried as I was and then hope went and did what hope always does because this is who she is as a person. She gave him another chance and…

Deacon: Okay, I– allow me to play devil’s advocate for just a moment here, all right? So, is it possible that those things, the co-parenting, being the best designer? It makes a pretty good case for giving the guy another shot to see if he’s actually who he says he is.

Liam: Maybe, except something always happens. Hope lets her guard down, doesn’t want to blow him off, and then I’ll give you three guesses who gets hurt? Your daughter.

Brooke: How are you?

Hope: Um, I’m all right.

Brooke: Yeah?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Did you talk to liam?

Hope: Well, I haven’t talked to him since I left L.A., But I will text him when we land.

Brooke: Oh, don’t you think he’d like to hear your voice?

Hope: He’ll hear my voice when I wish the kids goodnight, um, but uh, what about– what about you and ridge? You two seem to be getting pretty cozy.

Brooke: Did you forget your mantra already? This is a business trip.

Hope: Yes. And it will probably be one of the busiest. I mean, thomas and I, we’re going to be swamped. But, uh, you and ridge, I don’t know, you might have some downtime. Could do some press.

Brooke: Oh, yeah, that is so romantic.

Hope: Well, you never know. I mean, you’re in rome, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Yeah. You never know. It’s just, ridge has been acting kind of different, you know? He doesn’t even call me logan. I think he’s just trying to protect me.

Hope: From what?

Brooke: More pain. More heartache.

Ridge: You know why your mom isn’t on the trip, right?

Steffy: I do. You shouldn’t feel guilty about brooke being here. She’s working.

Ridge: Which is what we should be doing.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Whatever the future holds, brooke or mom, just know that I’m– I’m happy for you.

Ridge: Really?

Steffy: I am and I want you to enjoy yourself. You don’t have to act like this stoic businessman. We’ll be in rome, the most beautiful romantic place on earth. Live a little.

Ridge: That’s what carter said.

Steffy: Well, he is right. Italy has inspired artists for centuries, so live your life. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul, available now at walmart. “Look at this skin, baby.

Deacon: Listen to me, if tommy boy does anything to cross the line, that’s it. He’s done, he’s out, adios. I’ll make sure of it.

Liam: I have heard that same thing from hope countless times.

Deacon: And you don’t think she means it?

Liam: It’s not that she doesn’t mean it. It’s that it’s not a deterrent if he knows she will always reconsider and take him back.

Deacon: Has thomas done anything to make you suspicious?

Liam: No, nothing specific. It’s just, uh, it’s just a feeling. It’s just a big old knot in my gut. That’s it.

Deacon: Like something bad’s gonna happen in rome?

Hope: Excuse me?

Thomas: Yeah, sure.

Hope: You know, steffy, you don’t have to stare every minute.

Steffy: You never answered my question earlier.

Hope: Yeah, you’re right. I didn’t because my marriage is none of your concern.

Steffy: I’m concerned about this trip. There’s a lot riding on it.

Hope: Oh, believe me, steffy, I know that better than anyone. This showing could make or break my line.

Steffy: Look, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again. Thomas has turned his life around. He has made tremendous progress and we’re all proud of him. I won’t let you or anyone destroy all his hard work.

Hope: And I’m going to tell you what I’ve said over and over. What I have told liam, that is that there is nothing to worry about. There’s nothing.

Thomas: Hey, I okayed the schedule with carter. He’s good with it.

Hope: Good. Good.

Thomas: Is everything okay?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: He has faith, nick. He has our baby.

Nick: We’re gonna get her back, all right? It’s gonna be okay. We’ll get her home safe and sound.

Sharon: He… he… he wants to meet me at the motel. Same room. Midnight.

Nick: That is not happening. I will go in your place.

Sharon: He wants me alone. I have to go, nick. It’s the only way.

Nick: Why would I ever allow you to go and meet up with him on your own?

Sharon: Because this.

Lily: Hey. What’s going on?

Daniel: Oh, nothing. Just sitting here trying to enjoy an adult beverage and contemplating life’s mysteries.

Lily: Okay, well you sounded really upset on the phone. Is everything okay? Is it– is it phyllis?

Daniel: It’s always phyllis.

Lily: What happened? I mean, I knew you were afraid that she was gonna get arrested. Did she get arrested?

Daniel: No. Not yet. But I am afraid that the next time I see my mom or my sister, they’ll both be behind bars.

Summer: Oh. I thought I heard kyle come in.

Diane: No, just me.

Summer: Uh, well, I’m sure that he’s already told you, but I… I want you to hear it from me too. It’s– it’s true. I’ve known that my mom is alive for… a while now, so. Go ahead. Let me have it. I know that you want to.

Diane: I’ve already forgiven you.

Kyle: All of the times that you ran off without an explanation, and lame ones at best, you were going to see phyllis, weren’t you? When were you going to tell me what you’ve been hiding? What the hell, summer? You lied about something that directly affected all of our lives for months. How could you do that? You could have cleared my mother’s name and set her free. You could have gotten her out of that god awful place, but instead, you decided to sit back and do nothing!

Summer: Kyle, you gotta believe me. I was trying to figure out how to keep both of our moms out of prison. I only kept quiet to buy time. To bring my mom home safely. That’s it.

Kyle: No, I am sorry, summer. I can’t accept your justifications. You were only thinking about you and your mother.

Summer: No, I was– I was trying to do what was right for everyone.

Kyle: No, stop, stop, stop. You have to own up to your actions here. You weren’t just sitting back and watching my mother suffer. You watched me suffer.

Summer: I was suffering lying to you, kyle. It was torture for me.

Kyle: No, and you were so damn good at it. You lied repeatedly to my face!

Audra: Is that seat taken? Want to get him involved.

Nick: I’m gonna go this motel and rip cameron apart with my bare hands.

Sharon: Nick, we need to think this through. This is cameron. You know how careful we need to be.

Nick: This psychopath has kidnapped our daughter. She is bound and gagged and probably terrified out of her mind. I need to go and pound him into the ground until he gives us our daughter back alive and well!

Sharon: You cannot go charging over there like a bull in a china shop! You might put faith in more danger!

[ Door knocking ]

Victor: Sharon, this is victor.

Nick: You’re right. I’m not going to go alone. I’ll get dad’s security team to back me up.

Sharon: I thought you didn’t want to get him involved.

Nick: We need all the help we can get. Dad, I’m glad you’re here.

Victor: What happened?

Nick: I need your help.

Victor: With what?

Nick: Cameron has faith.

Victor: What?

Nick: Let me see the phone.

Victor: How did this happen? With all the security I provided, how did this happen?

Nick: We’ll worry about that later. Right now, we need to focus on getting faith back. Will your security team provide me with some backup?

Victor: Of course. I’ll get you an army to get her back. How the hell did this happen?

Sharon: Okay, stop it, the both of you. You cannot go storming over there all fired up for battle. That could be the most dangerous thing you would do. Do– you read his message. I need to be the one to go. I have got to be the one to face cameron. Alone. Gala.

Kyle:

Audra: Kyle, right? Audra charles. We met at the gala.

Kyle: Uh, yeah. You’re the one who found my phone. Thanks again.

Audra: Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you’d remember, considering everything.

Kyle: Seems like a lifetime ago.

Audra: Yeah, I can imagine your memories of that night are pretty difficult given what happened to your wife’s mother, or should I say, didn’t happen. Rumors of her demise were greatly exaggerated. I guess it depends on what rumors you want to believe.

Kyle: Mm. Well, I would normally advise you not to believe any rumors, but… in this case, they might all be true.

[ Nick sighing ]

Audra: So, phyllis summers faked the whole thing and is actually alive?

Kyle: I’m sorry, audra. You seem very nice, but I’m not in the business of discussing my personal life with total strangers.

Audra: Oh. I get it. Though, in my experience, sometimes it’s a total stranger you most need to talk to. Their perspective is so much clearer. It’s not prejudiced with preconceived notions about a person or a situation. It’s no judgement. It’s kind of like with bartenders, you know? People will tell them everything because they’re just there to innocently listen.

Kyle: Well, that’s very kind of you, but I think I’m just gonna–

Audra: I promise I’m a very good listener.

Summer: Uh, maybe you haven’t heard the whole story.

Diane: Are you trying to talk me out of forgiving you?

Summer: No. I just think that once you know everything, you might regret your decision.

Diane: Why don’t you tell me the whole story? What is it that you think I don’t know about yet?

Summer: Look, I know that keeping this secret has really hurt kyle and you, of course. I could have gotten the charges against you dropped way sooner, but I didn’T. Instead, I ch– chose to protect my mom at your expense.

Diane: I’m well aware of that.

Summer: And what? You’re– you’re okay with what I did?

Diane: No. No, no, no. No. You let me sit in jail with my life hanging in the balance over utterly false charges. I am not okay with that. But, I do understand why you did it.

Summer: You do.

Diane: Yes. I realize that you were put into an impossible situation with no easy solution. Trust me, summer. I’m not playing games here. This is how I feel and I’ll even take it a step further. I’m going to do everything in my power to convince kyle to forgive you too.

Summer: You would do that? After everything that has happened? Wow. Thanks, diane.

Diane: Oh, no thanks necessary. I really– I really can’t stand to see you and kyle torn apart over this, and god knows you shouldn’t be blamed for something that was clearly not your fault.

Summer: It’s all my fault. I’m responsible.

Diane: Well, yes, but we all know that phyllis manipulated you into keeping you quiet. I mean, it was her psychotic plan that caused all this trouble in the first place, so if anyone is to blame–

Summer: Okay, hold on, diane. Please, please, do not turn this into an attack against my mom.

Nick: There’s no way I’m letting you face this bastard on your own.

Victor: Sharon, think about it for a moment. This is too dangerous. He may be setting a trap for you.

Sharon: I don’t doubt that it is a trap.

Nick: Wait, you realize that, but you’re still willing to walk right into his web?

Sharon: He has faith and we have no idea where. It terrifies me to think what he might do to her. He might have somebody else watching her, just waiting for a word to do her harm and I know that he’s thought this through. Every angle. He’ll have taken precaution.

Nick: Then we do the same.

Sharon: He’s methodical in his madness and we cannot take that risk with faith’s life.

Nick: Still, I just– I cannot fathom the idea of you being alone with him.

Victor: I agree with nicholas, but if you do– I think it’s an insane idea, but if you do, you’ve got to arm yourself.

Sharon: That could be the trigger that sets him off. We have to got to be careful not to push him to go to a more dangerous place. He’s already delusional enough to think that I might fall in love with him. Nick, isn’t that what he said to you?

Nick: Yeah, and I actually think that he believed it.

Sharon: All right. If that’s the case, and he is that delusional to think that we could be together and we have some future together, cameron is not planning on hurting me, but that wouldn’t be true of anybody else who goes after him… which means that I am the only one who has the power to control the situation.

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Daniel: Right?

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Honestly, I don’t know what to do. Summer’s desperate to keep mom out of prison and she’s willing to go to any lengths necessary.

Lily: Well, it sounds like summer. And your mom.

Daniel: Right? The problem is, summer wants me to help her do it.

Lily: Do what? Try and keep your mom out of prison? I mean, you can’t turn back time. What’s done is done.

Daniel: Exactly. Meanwhile, mom wants me to do whatever it takes to keep summer out of it.

Lily: Well, how are you supposed to do that?

Daniel: I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe she’ll finally do the right thing.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Well, why would she start now?

Daniel: It’s a good point. Especially if it means turning herself in. I can’t see that happening. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Lily: What do you mean?

Daniel: Mom is on the run again. So, even if I wanted to turn her in, I can’t now.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Daniel, I’m really sorry you’re stuck in the middle of this.

Daniel: Hm.

Lily: But to be honest with you, as someone who’s actually been to prison, it might not hurt for phyllis to do some time.

Diane: Summer, I’m not attacking phyllis. I just think it’s clear who’s to blame for the nightmare we’ve all been going through.

Summer: I agree. It is clear. This was all a part of stark’s master plan. He’s the one who started all of this trouble to begin with.

Diane: Well, I guess, technically, that’s true.

Summer: You know what? If you wanna go all the way back to try to place blame, how did we even hear stark’s name in the first place? I think it was you that brought him into our lives, diane.

Diane: Oh, wait a minute. I’m not the one who invited him to town.

Summer: But you’re the one who had history with him. You’re the one that burned him. Everything is unintended consequences.

Diane: Unintended consequences? Summer. Summer, we’re getting way off track here. Yes, this plan was the work of jeremy stark, but he could not have faked phyllis’ death without her full participation and it is naive to think that your mother is somehow innocent in all of this.

Summer: No, my mom didn’t do any of this on her own. She was coerced and threatened and maybe even blackmailed into doing what she did.

Diane: Is that what phyllis is telling you? That she was blackmailed into that performance at the gala?

Summer: Diane, you were the one who brought stark to town and maybe you didn’t commit murder, but you’re not innocent and I’m not ever gonna let myself forget that.

[ Diane sighing ]

Nick: All right, sharon. All right. If you insist with on meeting with cameron alone, you’re gonna take some precautions.

Sharon: Like what?

Nick: First, you’re gonna go in there with some backup and that includes me.

Sharon: He said to come alone, nick. Cameron said.

Nick: No. We will keep our distance so we don’t alert cameron. Your team can manage that, right, dad?

Victor: One second. I just found the number of a special ops guy whose specialty is rescue missions.

Nick: All right. Set it up. Let’s go.

Victor: I’ll call him right now.

Nick: Thanks, dad.

Victor: Sharon… thank you. You’re risking your life to save my granddaughter. I’ll never forget it.

Nick: Takes a lot of courage to do what you’re doing. I still hate this plan, but cameron is crazy. He’s already in your head, he’s got our daughter’s life in his hands. He knows where you’re most vulnerable.

Sharon: Of course I’m vulnerable where my child is concerned. I’m so afraid for her right now, I could scream. I know first hand what cameron is capable of. It’s taken everything inside of me not to fall apart. And the thought of facing him again? Makes me sick to my stomach, but I don’t have time for that, nick.

[ Sniffling ] Our baby doesn’t have time.

Audra: Something like tha

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: So… you wanna be my bartender, audra?

Audra: Something like that.

Kyle: Well, I have simone over there, who is an actual bartender and she makes the perfect old fashioned and I have to say, she’s probably a much more innocent listener than you are.

Audra: Oh. What are you getting at, hm?

Kyle: I’m just a little weary. I don’t know what you’re really after.

Audra: You don’t think it’s possible that I’m just a sounding board? Someone you can talk to who won’t judge?

Kyle: Hm. I get the feeling I should keep my guard up around you. From what I’ve heard, you have ambitions.

Audra: Oh, wow, kyle. Some people say that my ambitions are my best quality.

Kyle: Well, that may be, but I don’t know if I can confide in an ultra achiever like yourself. I’ve heard you’ll do whatever it takes to get the job done.

Audra: Hm. You heard things about me? I’m flattered. But you’re right. I do consider myself an achiever. I’ve successfully made a mark for myself wherever I’ve gone.

Kyle: Including with my brother-in-law, noah newman.

Audra: Brother-in-law.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: Right. Uh… that’s all in the past now. You know, he’s moved on and found happiness and I moved on as well.

Kyle: But have you found happiness?

Audra: Have you? Hm. You look like you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

Kyle: How about this? I finish my drink and you talk while I listen?

Audra: I’m game. What do you want me to talk about? Look, I am well versed in a variety of topics. Some important and weighty, and some just downright ridiculous.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: Well, how about you tell me more about yourself?

Audra: Okay.

Kyle: How did you end up here in genoa city?

Audra: Since you asked, um, I came here working for tucker mccall until I zigged to a brief stint with chancellor-winters. And then, I zagged to newman media where I found my true self working with nate hastings. I think I found my home there.

Kyle: So, ultra achiever, where do you go from newman media?

Audra: Well, I’m happy where I’m at, but I’ll see what opportunities present themselves. Ambition is not a dirty word to me, kyle.

[ Kyle chuckling ] In fact, you know, I think, um, some people are afraid of their own desires. It’s like… they’re ashamed to admit how badly they want something.

Kyle: Are you sure we’re still talking about jobs?

Audra: Mm. You tell me.

Mariah: Thank you so much. Hi, summer. You know, I was actually hoping to run into you. I was wondering if you got the bouquet that tessa and I sent? The flowers for phyllis’ memorial?

Summer: Yeah. They were beautiful, thanks.

Mariah: So, what do you do now? Now, do you just send all those flowers back to people? Because it was all a big lie? Or… what happens?

Summer: Mariah, I really just wanted to get some chamomile tea without all the attitude, so if I could just do that, please.

Mariah: Oh, yeah. No, I can’t see that happening, but you can take this with your chamomile. What in the hell were you thinking?

Summer: I’m not in the mood for this right now.

Mariah: You know, I’ve never had an especially high opinion of you, but even I was surprised that you could keep phyllis’ secret, knowing how deeply it would affect diane and kyle.

Summer: You know what? What would you have done if sharon was the one that needed protecting? Especially after you went the trauma of thinking that you lost her forever? Yeah, it’s really easy to judge when you haven’t been through it yourself.

Mariah: I suppose if sharon had been the one that I thought I lost forever, then yes, I would do anything to keep her safe and close.

Summer: Okay. Exactly. That’s– that’s exactly what I did. I’m glad that you see my point of view.

Mariah: I– I can see it, but I still do not agree with what you did.

Summer: Can I ask you a question? And depending on the answer, I might ask you a favor.

Nick: We are going to get faith back. I promise you that. She’s gonna be fine.

Sharon: I know she will. She has to be. Nothing will happen to her and we’ll have her home in no time, right?

[ Door knocking ]

Nick: Who’s there?

Chance: Chance. Hey.

Nick: Hey.

Chance: What’s wrong? Did something happen?

Sharon: It’s faith.

Nick: Cameron has her.

Sharon: He’s demanding that I meet him at the motel we met at years ago and to come alone.

[ Chance exhaling ]

Chance: Okay. Thank you for not keeping this from me. You guys can’t handle this on your own.

Nick: We have to find her.

Sharon: Our poor baby. She must be terrified. Please tell me you can help us find her.

Chance: I did find something at the athletic club. Kirsten left behind a satchel with some papers inside of it, one of which was a deed to some property on the outskirts of town.

Nick: What kind of property?

Chance: It’s an old, abandoned garage off birchwood.

Sharon: And he owns the building?

Chance: According to the deed.

Nick: Which means that he has had this plan in the works for quite a while. And that property is very close to the motel where he wants to meet up with sharon.

Sharon: So, what do you think? Is that where he’s keeping faith?

Daniel: So, you think

Daniel: So, you think my mother should go to jail?

Lily: I just think that it might benefit phyllis to have some time alone to face the consequences of her actions and realize how much she’s hurt the people she loves.

Daniel: You’ve seen the inside of a cell, but she could be looking at decades.

Lily: I know. I know that my experience was short, but it changed my life. It gave me a completely different perspective on things.

Daniel: Yeah, lily, but prison. I mean, I wouldn’t wish that on anyone, much less my own mother.

Lily: I know, I know. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying it’s amazing, right? Like, obviously it’s hard. I mean, there were days that I wasn’t sure I was gonna make it through, but I did and I came out a better person for it.

Daniel: You were kind of an okay person before that.

Lily: Look. I know that my experience is the exception to the rule, okay? I know that not everyone comes out of prison saying, you know, “oh, that was amazing. I learned so much.” But I did. And you know what? It might be good for phyllis to get a different perspective on things. To see women who are facing struggles much harder than she is, right? Far harder than “I’m living in a town with somebody that I hate.”

[ Daniel sighing ]

Mariah: So, you wanna ask me for a favor. What kind?

Summer: Uh, I assume that kyle has vented to you about how upset he is with me.

Mariah: Mm-hmm. For the record, he was far more gracious than I would’ve been were I in his shoes.

Summer: That’s nice to hear that he’s not publicly trashing me, but I know that privately, he is livid.

Mariah: Are you about to ask me what I think?

Summer: I’m not gonna speculate what goes on in your head.

Mariah: I hope you’re not expecting me to take phyllis’ side in all of this because actually, I encouraged kyle to go to the police with everything that he knows, so.

Summer: No, I don’t– I don’t expect that. I just want to know if… if you’re on my side, mine and kyle’s as a couple.

Mariah: Ooh.

Summer: Mariah, do you still believe all of those loving and supportive things that you said at our vow renewal? Do you believe that we belong together?

Mariah: I see where you’re going with this. You want me to convince kyle to forgive you. Are you serious, summer? I mean, you’ve– you’ve gotta be kidding me. Are you willing to take accountability for any of your actions? That’s actually incredible impressive.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: This was a mistake. I should not have tried to talk to you. Obviously, you’re never gonna see me any differently than how you always have.

Kyle: Thanks, audra.

Audra: For what? I don’t remember doing anything.

Kyle: For giving me something else to think about other than my own problems for a little while.

Audra: You certainly pulled a fast one. I have to admire that.

Kyle: How so?

Audra: Well, you got me talking about myself when I was trying to get you to do the same. Maybe next time.

Kyle: Maybe.

Audra: But, if I was able to cheer you up, even a little bit, I’ll consider the night a success.

Kyle: Well, then. Congratulations. Have a good rest of your night.

Audra: And you do the same.

Sharon: Right there. There’s a pile of tires. That’s where she is. He’s keeping her there. It’s the garage on birchwood.

Nick: Where’d you say you found that bag at cameron’s?

Chance: In his room, behind the sofa. Why? What are you thinking?

Nick: It’s too convenient. It’s too easy.

Sharon: Another trap?

Nick: It’s possible, but somebody does need to go to check this place out, just in case faith is there.

Chance: I’m on it. I’ll take a small team with me. You two need to stay put, okay? Do not go to that motel. It’s too dangerous and you don’t know what he has waiting in there for you. I sent that picture to myself. I’ll let you know what I find.

Sharon: Thanks, chance.

Nick: Yes. We appreciate everything we’re doing to find our girl.

Sharon: What if she’s not there?

Nick: And if you don’t show up like cameron demanded?

Sharon: We can’t take the chance that something happens to our daughter.

Nick: I agree.

Sharon: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Nick: Oh, we’re going to that motel. To be this uny

Mariah: No. No, no, no. No, you’re not– you’re not gonna do that to me, okay? You’re not gonna turn this around on me and paint me to be this unyielding and stubborn person who doesn’t cut people a break. That’s not me.

Summer: Come on, mariah. You’ve been stubborn and unyielding since the day I met you.

Mariah: Summer, I will be the first person to admit that you have matured in a lot of ways. For one, you and kyle, you were both so happy before all of this. And for another, I really admire what an amazing mother you are to harrison.

Summer: Thanks for that.

Mariah: But as much as you’ve grown up, you’re still your mother’s daughter. You still have that same streak of selfish recklessness and I’m sorry, but I don’t know that you’re ever gonna be able to convince me that you are good enough for kyle.

Summer: Wow. You know, you really shouldn’t agree to officiate a vow renewal if you truly despite the bride that much.

Mariah: No, no, I didn’t say that. I don’t despise you, summer, and I was truly hoping that your marriage would work out.

Summer: What are you saying? That it’s not gonna work out? That my marriage is over?

Mariah: Summer, oh… my goodness. You really need to take a very hard look at what you have done. You have deceived kyle. You chose your mother over everyone else. You left his mother sitting in a jail cell. You’ve hurt them both so much.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I guess I can forget that favor.

Mariah: Yeah, but I will– I will give you a different one.

Summer: What’s that?

Mariah: Advice. Just give kyle the time that he needs. After what you did, it is going to take a lot to earn his forgiveness, as it should be. And I don’t know if you will ever be able to earn his trust again. And you would have no one to blame for that but yourself.

[ Mariah sighing ]

Nick: We should head to the motel. If chance calls and says they have faith, then we’ll come right back home. But if not? We stick to our original plan. We go. Dad’s security team and I will be right behind you. Then, we go in there and we take cameron out and we bring our daughter home alive.

Sharon: We have to do this. We have no other choice, right?

Nick: No, we don’t, but I want you to take one more precaution. If you’re gonna face cameron alone, I don’t want you to go in there completely unarmed.

Summer: Hi. You’re home.

Nick: All right. This’ll work.

Sharon: A knife? Nick, I can’t meet cameron wielding that in my hand.

Nick: That’s why we’re gonna keep it hidden and tape it to your leg.

Sharon: My leg?

Nick: Yes, sharon. You need something to defend yourself with.

Sharon: You’re right. I guess I do need something in case he snaps and loses it again.

Nick: It’s not gonna come to that, all right? This is just a precaution. It’s a last resort. My dad’s security team and i will be there. He’s not gonna lay a finger on you. Have a seat. Now, hold that right there. All right. How’s that feel?

Sharon: FinE.

Nick: It’s not too uncomfortable?

Sharon: No, it’s fine. I’m prepared to do whatever it takes to get our baby back.

Daniel: I appreciate your opinion on the situation and with all due respect, I have taken everything you’ve said to heart, but whatever does happen, I really hope it doesn’t come down to prison for my mom or my sister.

Lily: Yeah, no, you’re… you’re right. You’re right. I mean, honestly, I– I actually hope so too. I just– maybe… maybe I was just rationalizing in case it does come to that.

Daniel: Mm. Sure. And if it does, you can always point back to this conversation and say, “ah, remember. There are advantages to being a prisoner.”

Lily: I’m really sorry.

Daniel: Don’t apologize. It’s actually kind of thoughtful, in a perverse sort of way.

Lily: Oh, god.

[ Daniel sighing heavily ] Is there anything I can do to help? Honestly, just name it.

Daniel: No. No. I’m at a loss trying to figure out what I can even do. It just feels like the whole situation is spiraling out of control. Today, I went to my brother-in-law to try and convince him to not to give up on summer, but even kyle wouldn’t listen to me, you know. Just… the whole situation just seems uncertain. For all of us.

Summer: You– you should’ve seen harrison tonight. He was so cute. I was reading him bumpy the camel and he kept on stopping me so that he could read it to me. He’s heard that story so many times, he knows it by heart.

Kyle: Sorry I missed that.

Summer: You know, that kind of memorization, it’s the first step to reading, so we should guide him in that direction. I could buy him so beginner reading books.

Kyle: That’s a good idea.

Summer: Kyle, I’ve been thinking a lot and I have a lot of things I wanna say. Could we talk now?

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Not tonight.

Nick: I believe in you.

Sharon: And I believe that you will be my back up and make sure that nothing happens.

Nick: Absolutely.

Sharon: Okay, I have to think about how I’m gonna handle him. Maybe I could just get him to tell me where faith is, but if he seems tense or angry, I’m just gonna remain calm and strong and try not to get emotional.

Nick: All right. I’m gonna run up to the main house and talk to dad and the security team. Just make sure they know they have to do everything as discreetly as possible. We’ll leave from the back service exit. Meet me behind the house in ten minutes.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Cameron: Hi, sharon.

[ Sharon gasping ]

Cameron: Everybody’s gone. It’s just you and me.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Gwen comes out of the shower as Leo comments on her gushing and flattery in her interview with a murderous psycho. Leo reads part of her article and mocks Gwen writing that Dimitri does have a heart.

Dimitri enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion where Kristen is reading the interview and comments that it looks like someone turned up the charm and made significant headway in seducing Gwen. Dimitri believes he has but admits he’s surprised not to find Megan waiting here to hear all about it.

Megan goes to see Li, who questions if she thinks it’s a good idea for her to be here. Megan assures that she waited until all his roommates were gone and that they were alone because it’s vital now that they continue their conversation. Li questions why their call was cut short and if someone walked in on her. Megan confirms that she was rudely interrupted by EJ overhearing their plan to eliminate Stefan.

EJ has a nightmare about finding Stefan dead. EJ then wakes up, tied up in the wine cellar, remarking that he’s now stuck in a nightmare of his own.

Nicole goes to Stefan’s room and asks if he knows where EJ is.

EJ complains that Megan will be sorry she ever came back from the dead as he struggles with being tied up.

Li questions why Megan would tell EJ about their plan to off Stefan. Megan repeats that he overheard her on the phone as she would never choose to tell him. Li asks what exactly EJ overheard. Megan explains that EJ overheard her saying that her brother was not long for the world and assumed she was talking about him. Li asks if EJ knows it was him on the phone but Megan assures that he didn’t. Megan says she explained that EJ had the wrong brother and they were planning to do away with Stefan and that it might also work out in EJ’s best interest. Li asks if EJ went for it. Megan says it felt promising briefly but then he had a sudden attack of conscience. Megan thinks back to knocking EJ out with the vase.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she has no idea where Megan is but suggests Dimitri tell her all about it. Kristen asks if Dimitri proposed to Gwen or if he’s waiting for an actual date with her. Dimitri senses her disapproving. Kristen says she’d be a hypocrite to disapprove of him doing whatever he needs to do to achieve his goal. Dimitri asks even if that means using someone who is apparently a friend of Kristen’s. Dimitri asks if she’s sure that she is okay with him using Gwen to get what he wants.

Gwen suggests Leo stop reading her interviews. Leo says he’s just teasing her but Gwen feels he is questioning her journalistic integrity. Leo brings up Gwen using blackmail to wrestle the Spectator away from Jack. Gwen reminds Leo that was his idea. Leo says they are straying way off topic and wants an explanation as to why Gwen went so easy on Dimitri. Gwen responds that they sat down and had a rather nice chat. Leo complains about being exiled from their room so Gwen could have private time, only to come back and she wasn’t there. Leo asks where they went after the Bistro but Gwen informs him that they stayed there and ordered room service. Leo asks if they had the meal in bed. Gwen assures they sat down and ate, then when the interview was over, she went straight to the office to get the article in for the morning. Leo argues that Gwen’s article is dripping with subtext and he knows she has a thing for Dimitri. Gwen argues that she barely knows him. Leo says he knows her better than anyone. Gwen then admits that Dimitri is quite attractive and she realized they have so much in common. Leo questions if they are kindred spirits. Gwen says she wouldn’t go that far but there was definitely a connection.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she does like Gwen, but she got her the pardon so Gwen owes her, not the other way around. Dimitri admits that he enjoyed her company as she seemed to really listen to everything he had to say and even related to a number of his life experiences. Kristen says there’s no doubt that he tailored those experienced to mirror Gwen’s. Dimitri admits he may have embellished the details to tell her what she wanted to hear. Kristen comments on their potential marriage. Dimitri assures that if he convinces Gwen to marry him, it will be for richer and not for poorer. Kristen brings up Megan having big plans for his inheritance. Dimitri acknowledges that Megan has a plan for absolutely everything.

Stefan tells Nicole that he doesn’t know where EJ is. Nicole explains that last night, EJ sent a text that he had to go out of town on last minute business and she hasn’t heard from him since, so she was worried and thought Stefan might know. Stefan assures that he doesn’t and remarks that the fact that they both don’t know where he is probably means that EJ is up to something underhanded.

EJ tries to encourage himself to remain calm so that he can free himself and warn Stefan about Megan.

Megan informs Li that EJ is tied up in the secret room underneath the DiMera Mansion as it seemed like the logical place to stash him. Li questions how she even know about the room. Megan explains that she learned of it last year when she sent Bo to steal the orchid from there. Megan remarks that in hindsight, she wishes she never sent Bo to Salem then perhaps everything would have turned out differently. Li would rather talk about her current offering and worries about destroying his future if EJ tells anyone. Megan assures that EJ has been taken care of and is her problem, not his. Megan tells Li to just focus his full attention on eliminating Stefan, so that he can eventually reunite with Gabi. Li asks how they are going to eliminate Stefan. Li then questions Megan thinking that he’s the one that’s going to kill him.

Kate meets Harris in the park and asks if he gave some thought to her proposal from the other day. Harris confirms that he has and he’s in because Megan has to be dealt with before she has the chance to hurt someone else. Kate is glad that Harris came to his senses because Megan is a menace to society. Harris clarifies that he’s not going to kill Megan. Kate doesn’t understand since he said he was on board with getting rid of her. Harris responds that as a Navy SEAL, he’s learned that there is more than one way to make somebody disappear.

Megan doesn’t seem why Li would be put off by the concept of murder, reminding him that he already made an attempt on Stefan’s life when he pulled the plug in Dr. Rolf’s lab. Li explains that is why if Stefan is a victim of foul play, he would be the chief suspect. Li complains about prison. Megan assures that he won’t have to find out about it as she would not trust a job like this to an amateur assassin like him. Megan declares that they need someone with ice in their veins, who is trained to kill and willing to kill. Megan adds that she knows just who that someone is.

Harris tells Kate that he will exile Megan permanently to a place where she can never hurt another soul again. Kate asks if he’s talking about a black site. Harris says the less she knows, the better. Kate says all she knows is that she will sleep a lot better once she knows Megan has been banished. Kate reminds Harris that they have to keep this between them because Roman is a man of conscience and stopped Steve and John from killing Orpheus, so he will definitely try to stop them as well. Kate talks about separating a mother from her son being like cruel and unjust punishment, so she suggests that Harris pick up Dimitri and take him along for the ride.

Leo questions Gwen going soft on Dimitri. Gwen insists that she asked him some very hard questions. Leo doesn’t see any mention of how he kidnapped Kate or threatened to blow up Europe and Salem or how he manhandled him. Leo adds that there’s also not a single question about his psychopathic mother. Gwen thinks Leo is just a little jealous that Dimitri is interested in her and not him. Leo argues that it’s obvious to anyone that Dimitri has an ulterior motive. Gwen asks what that would be. Leo admits he doesn’t know what lies ahead for them, but swears on his life that Dimitri is not motivated to charm Gwen because he thinks she’s the bee’s knees, but because he has some sort of grand and sinful plan.

Kristen tells Dimitri that she did hear Megan amassing an army with Harris Michaels at the helm. They agree that she sounds delusional. Kristen admits that she only intends to stay on Megan’s good side so she can assist her with the resources to regain custody of her daughter. Dimitri jokes about Kristen going the legal route this time and that being new for her. Kristen comments on it not being easy since Brady has his lawyer sister Belle on his side and she is an attack dog. Kristen declares that she needs an attorney but it’s been a challenging to convince someone to represent her. Kristen then reveals that she has someone in mind; Sloan Peterson, though she is sleeping with Brady’s brother, Eric. Dimitri calls that a conflict of interest. Kristen says he’s not the only one in the family who can turn on the charm. Kristen mentions hearing that Sloan has a weakness for a certain champagne and they have some in the wine cellar. Kristen says if she can turn on the charm and present her with a bottle, she’s quite sure that Sloan will accept a retainer. Kristen then heads down the secret tunnels..

Nicole questions if Stefan is insinuating that EJ is involved in some plot that she doesn’t know about. Stefan thinks it’s possible. Nicole disagrees and says that can’t be what’s happening since she and EJ have an appointment with a specialist in about an hour to discuss if or how she can carry her baby to term. Nicole says EJ did a lot of research to find this doctor, so him suddenly missing doesn’t make any sense. Stefan asks if maybe killing his chances at DiMera is more important to EJ than having this baby with her.

Kristen finds EJ tied up in the wine cellar.

Gwen asks Leo what possible objective that Dimitri could possibly hope to achieve by charming her. Leo suggests maybe he wanted the charming article that she wrote about him and he just used her to rebuild his reputation. Gwen says she retained professionalism and that he seemed really genuine. Gwen argues that she’s not deluding herself as there was a definite attraction that she could feel.

Kate tells Harris that Dimitri is as cold-blooded and manipulative as Megan. Kate adds that Dimitri may not have tried to kill her but he did hold her hostage, so she would like to see him cut off as well. Harris understands but worries about making two people disappear and that it would increase the risk substantially. Harris feels bringing Dimitri could compromise getting rid of Megan.

Li acknowledges that Megan had Harris brainwashed once but he thought the ISA deprogrammed him. Megan confirms they did, but that doesn’t mean they can’t reprogram him to do her bidding and that’s where Li comes in. Li is afraid that’s not his area of expertise. Megan points out that he could secure Dr. Rolf as she trusts that Li knows where he might be. Li questions her wanting to bring Dr. Rolf back to Salem which she confirms. Megan feels it’s not much to ask and rather simple. Megan explains that Dr. Rolf will program Harris to murder Stefan and then they both get what they want. Li tells Megan to consider it done.

Nicole tells Stefan that he doesn’t know EJ like she does. Stefan calls him a pompous ass. Nicole argues that EJ wouldn’t stand her up for something that is important to both of them. Stefan feels nothing is more important to EJ than screwing him over. Nicole argues that nothing is more important to him than their baby as EJ moved Heaven and Earth to make this appointment happen, so she believes he will be there by her side.

Kristen questions who did this to EJ and if it was Gabi and Stefan. EJ informs her that it was Megan, then suggests maybe Kristen already knew that. EJ accuses Kristen of being a part of this since he knew they had their heads together about something. Kristen insists that she had no idea what Megan was planning and that she just came down here for champagne. EJ is thankful that she came. Kristen asks if Megan gave him a reason why she tied him up down here. EJ reveals that Megan wanted to stop him from stopping her from killing Stefan.

Leo asks Gwen if she’s not still licking her wounds from her breakup with Xander. Gwen supposes that she is but feels having Dimitri distract her isn’t the worst way to get over it. Leo argues that Dimitri has made it clear that he wants to kill him. Gwen says if she can keeps spending time with Dimitri then she might be able to talk him out of wanting to throw Leo through a wall when he sees him and maybe she can show him that Leo’s not the incredibly annoying person that everyone else seems to think.

Harris tells Kate that he’s not ruling out possibly dealing with Dimitri, but right now they need to focus on Megan. Kate agrees that Megan is the more pressing threat. Kate asks what his time schedule is. Harris asks why put off to tomorrow, what you can get done today? Kate instructs Harris to call her when he’s done as he then walks away.

Nicole goes to the hospital, wondering where EJ is. Nicole tries calling EJ but it goes to voicemail. Nicole leaves a message, saying first she was really pissed off that he skipped town without returning her calls or texts, but now she’s just worried and she’s at the hospital for their appointment about the baby. Nicole hopes that EJ just lost his phone and is on his way.

Megan returns home to the DiMera Mansion and sees Stefan is off to the office. Stefan remarks that someone has to keep the company running as he heard EJ took another day off. Megan hopes he’s enjoying it and comments that life is fleeting and one day they will look back with regrets. Megan tells Stefan to live it up while he can and seize the day. Stefan wonders if Megan went over the proposal that he and Gabi put together for her. Megan thinks back to throwing the proposal in the fireplace and remarks that it definitely sparked some ideas and left her with burning questions, but she doesn’t want to keep him. Stefan decides they will talk later and exits. Megan remarks that’s assuming he’s still alive as she heads in to the living room and greets Dimitri. Megan mentions reading the article in the Spectator and calls it impressive as it seems Gwen is already smitten with him. Dimitri admits he’s smitten with her as well. Megan suggests he go see her to keep the momentum going. Dimitri mentions that he was just speaking to Kristen, who mentioned that Megan was putting together an army. Dimitri questions what exactly she is doing. Megan responds that whatever she does is with him in mind. Megan tells Dimitri to go sweep Gwen off her feet and move them closer to their goal. Megan then asks where Kristen is now. Dimitri says she said something about grabbing a bottle of champagne from the basement which worries her. Dimitri adds that she’s probably still there now and then exits. Megan then rushes towards the secret tunnels.

Kristen asks EJ why Megan would want to kill Stefan. EJ asks her to untie him before playing 20 questions. Kristen tries to untie him but struggles with the knots as she asks about Megan’s motivation. EJ explains that Megan said she wanted to eliminate Stefan to reshuffle the family power dynamic and that it would be a means to an end in her brain. Kristen decides that she needs to find something to cut the ropes to untie EJ. Megan then bursts in her with a gun drawn and warns Kristen not to do that.

Leo tells Gwen that he’s sorry but he cannot support the fake romance between her and Dimitri. Gwen asks what if Leo’s instincts are right and Dimitri is just playing her like a fiddle. Dimitri then shows up at the door with roses for Gwen.

Li walks through the town square and runs in to Stefan. Stefan tells Li that he wants to thank him for letting his divorce to Gabi go through so smoothly. Li knows they are soon to be married and jokes that he’ll keep an eye out for his invitation. Li remarks that he always knew Gabi would end up with the love of her life. Stefan calls that big of him and thanks him. Li says he told Gabi that her happiness means a lot to him. Li then asks when the big day is. Stefan informs him that it’s next month. Li congratulates him and shakes his hand. Stefan thanks him and walks away. Li then remarks to himself that it’s too bad Stefan won’t live long enough to say “I do”.

Megan leaves Kristen tied up in the wine cellar with EJ. EJ assumes Kristen no longer has any doubts about Megan being unhinged. Kristen swears that she had no idea what Megan was planning. Kristen admits that when Megan pitched her ideas of picking up where Stefano left off and conquering the world, she went along with it, but Megan is so much more deranged and sadistic than she thought. Kristen worries that they could be Megan’s next victims after Stefan. EJ says that seems inevitable, but at this point, Nicole might just push Megan out of the way to get to him first.

Nicole waits around at the hospital and gets a text that Megan sent from EJ’s phone, saying he’s sorry but he has to miss their appointment and to go meet the doctor without him.

Megan emerges from the secret tunnels and finds Harris Michaels in the living room of the DiMera Mansion.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

John and Steve go over case files, trying to find something that leads them to Abe. Steve encourages that they are going to find him and they won’t stop until they do. Paulina shows up at the door. Steve thought she was still in the hospital. Paulina explains that she was released after insisting her blood pressure would go down after getting out to help in the search for Abe. She asks if there’s any news. John informs her that they just started combing through the evidence that the police sent them. Paulina knows if they want the case done right, they need Black Patch on the job. Paulina asks what they have but then can’t believe they have nothing.

Abe rewinds Whitley’s tape of Body and Soul that got interrupted by his mayoral speech from 2008. Abe pauses it and questions how it can be true that he’s the Mayor of Salem, when “Paulina” said he ran an ice cream shop. Abe wonders what the hell is going on here.

Stefan and Gabi go to their room. Gabi complains that EJ made a huge mistake and calls him a pompous ass. Stefan says they tried, but they aren’t the only ones that EJ needs to worry about taking him down. Stefan adds that the doesn’t trust any of his siblings, but there’s something especially deranged about Megan. Stefan believes that EJ and Kristen have their limits but there’s no line that Megan won’t cross to get what she wants..

Megan returns to the DiMera Mansion and gets a call from Li, who declares that he’s in on taking Stefan down by any means necessary. Megan calls that a wise decision and remarks that with his help, she’s sure that her brother is not long for this world, which EJ overhears behind her as he comes back to the room and asks if that’s so, startling her. Li asks Megan what the next step is and how soon they will put this plan in to motion right as Wendy comes home. Megan tells Li that she has to go and hangs up. Megan tells EJ that she didn’t see him there. EJ says obviously not or else she wouldn’t have been plotting his demise.

John tells Paulina that he wouldn’t say they have nothing. Steve says they’ve checked every lead. John assures if it’s in here, they are going to find it. Paulina asks what she can do to help. Steve brings up that Rafe said the last person to see Abe was the nurse Whitley King. Paulina says she talked to her and she said she didn’t know anything. John asks if she’s sure. Paulina assures that she got everything out of Whitley that she could and goes over that Whitley said she took care of Abe in his room until he disappeared and she had no idea what happened to him after that.

Abe rewatches the recording of his mayoral speech again and complains that it just doesn’t make any sense. Abe guesses he won’t get any answers until “Paulina” comes home. Abe resumes the recording of Body and Soul where one of the characters accuses the other of holding a man against his will.

Gabi hugs Stefan and says she thinks he’s perfect as is, but sometimes wishes he was born in to a normal family. Stefan wishes the same, but says nice and normal doesn’t get mansions all around the world, servants, and billions of dollars in assets. Gabi admits she appreciates that but says it’s too bad a constant war with siblings comes as part of the package. Stefan doesn’t want it and says to hell with all the power struggles, backstabbing, and DiMera insanity. Stefan declares that he’s done worrying about what his brothers and sisters are planning, at least for tonight. Stefan suggests passing the time by focusing on Gabi as they kiss.

Wendy tells Li that she didn’t expect him to be back so soon as she hugs him and asks about his visit with their father. Li says it was fine and he sends his love. Wendy guesses that her dad hopes she picks Johnny over Tripp and starts producing grandchildren. Wendy says that’s enough about their dad and asks Li about the plan that he was talking about on the phone. Wendy questions what Li is up to.

Megan tells EJ that it’s ridiculous to think she was plotting his demise and says it’s not what he thinks. EJ argues that it is and threatens to call the police to tell them that she’s violating the terms of her release and should be back behind bars where she belongs. Megan questions what he means. EJ warns that she has greatly underestimated him and he won’t be an easy target. EJ declares that Megan is finished here and orders her to pack up her bags because he wants her out of the house immediately. Megan argues that he can’t kick her out of the house because she has as much right to be there as any of Stefano’s children. EJ says he just did and she has no rights at all as far as the house goes. Megan insists because of Stefano but EJ explains that the deed went to Stefan and ended up with Gabi until he convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage over to him which means he decides who lives in the house. Megan cries that it can’t be true. EJ says it is true and it’s happening. EJ suggests Megan go stay with whoever she was conspiring with on the phone.

Wendy continues asking Li about his plan. Li says it’s none of her concern and them living together doesn’t give her an all access plan to his personal life. Wendy is curious since it’s his personal life and not business. Li tells her to let it go but Wendy refuses and says she’s going to find out either way. Wendy warns Li that she will keep hounding him and making his life miserable until he tells her. Li then agrees to tell her, so Wendy asks what the big plan is. Li claims that he’s hired a matchmaker.

Gabi and Stefan kiss in bed and begin to undress.

John finishes a call with Roman, thanking him for the update and says to keep them posted. Paulina asks what he said. John says that Roman is retracing the officer’s steps in case they missed something but he’s working on it. Paulina admits she feels better, knowing that all of Abe’s best friends are working on the case. Steve encourages that they will keep going until they find a break. Paulina complains that she feels helpless which she is not used to. John relates to worrying about someone you love. Paulina knows that if anyone knows what she’s dealing with, it’s John, Steve, and Roman as they thought their wives were lost forever. Steve points out that they weren’t and Abe’s not either, assuring that Abe is coming home to her.

Abe wonders when Whitley is coming back as he needs answers. Abe continues watching Body and Soul until Whitley comes home and asks if he missed her. She remarks that she knew he would get in to Body and Soul. Abe stops her and says they need to talk. She notes that he sounds serious and asks what this is about. Abe questions why the hell she didn’t tell him that he was Mayor of Salem and asks what the hell else she is lying to him about.

Paulina knows she’s not the first person dealing with a missing loved one, but complains about not knowing where Abe is. John guarantees that Abe knows they are all searching for him and that they won’t give up. Steve adds that Abe is a very recognizable figure in town. Paulina questions where else Abe could be.

Whitley asks if Abe got his memory back. Abe says no and explains that he was watching her soap opera when they cut in with a press conference of him as mayor. Abe questions what the hell is going on since she told him that he ran an ice cream shop. Whitley reminds him that these tapes are 15 years old. She admits he was mayor but it was short lived and claimed afterwards, he soured on politics and opened his ice cream shop. Abe questions why he was only mayor for a short time and what happened. Abe demands an answer. She tells him that his political rival had him impeached for no good reason. Abe asks who his rival is. She responds that it was a horrible man named EJ DiMera.

Megan tells EJ that he doesn’t have to do this as he has it all wrong and she wasn’t planning to hurt him. EJ declares he’s done with this conversation and threatens to have Harold pack her bags or just have them thrown in the street. Megan shouts that she is not leaving the house. EJ threatens to have security remove her by force then but Megan warns that he doesn’t want to do that.

Wendy questions Li hiring a matchmaker. Li asks what she thinks he should do. Wendy suggests dating apps. Li doesn’t like the idea of finding love through swiping. Li says the matchmaker will understand him and what he’s looking for. Wendy guesses their father talked him in to this. Li says he makes his own decisions and asks why wait considering his divorce papers came in the mail today. Li declares that his marriage to Gabi is officially dead, thanks to the man who killed it.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed together after having sex. Gabi can’t believe they are here again, together out in the open and very happy. Stefan assures that soon they will be husband and wife again. Stefan asks her what’s wrong. Gabi guesses she’s afraid to let herself be this happy again since last time they were married, he was taken from her. Stefan encourages her not to think about that as it’s all in the past. Gabi questions how to just let it go and not remember thinking that he’d been killed, she lost him forever, and her own life was over. Stefan is sorry she’s hurting like that and wishes he could go back and change it. Stefan points out that they made it and they are here together. Gabi asks how he knows something awful isn’t waiting for them around the corner. Stefan insists that it’s not and they were given a second chance, so they would be fools not to take it. Stefan promises that history will not repeat itself as nothing and no one will take him away from her again as they kiss.

Megan demands that EJ listen to her. EJ asks for one good reason not to have her lying, murderous ass thrown out. Megan tells EJ that it’s not him that she’s planning to kill, it’s Stefan.

Stefan and Gabi lay in bed after having sex again. Stefan asks if she’s ready for round three, talking about making up for lost time. Gabi suggests they head to the shower. Stefan tells her to get it ready while he will go to the kitchen to get a romantic dinner set up. Gabi says she can get used to that.

Wendy tells Li that she’s sorry. Li says it’s like he wasn’t expecting it. Wendy knows it still can’t be easy and asks if he’s okay. Li responds that he will live as you win some and lose some. Wendy says this feels like progress as he’s accepting his divorce and not tearing the room apart or plotting a desperate scheme to hold on to Gabi, so she’s really proud of him for finally moving on as she hugs him.

EJ questions Megan wanting to kill Stefan and asks what he’s ever done to her. Megan responds that it’s nothing personal really, but she wants to shake the table a bit. EJ asks what the hell that means. Megan responds that with Stefan out of the way, Gabi will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company. EJ questions this being about Megan wanting more of Stefano’s fortune and asks if she’s really that heartless to do that to her own flesh and blood. Megan tells him to spare her as Stefano wasn’t above eating his young. EJ remarks that if Megan thinks Stefano would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then she didn’t know Stefano at all. Megan questions if EJ did and thinking that Stefano’s legacy belongs to him. Megan mocks Susan which EJ warns her about. Megan tells EJ to get over himself as his self righteousness is boring her. Megan asks why he even cares what happens to Stefan. EJ responds that Stefan is his brother and a decent human being. Megan argues that they have been fighting for months so he can’t think he’s that decent. Megan states that Stefan’s untimely death could be good for both of them and help them both. Megan tells EJ that with one less DiMera in the picture, there would be a much bigger slice of the pie for them as she looks towards the portrait of Stefano.

John says that somebody has to be holding Abe captive. Paulina wonders who and why. Steve says they don’t know yet but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife who has a serious bank account. Paulina questions why she hasn’t been contacted for a ransom if it’s about money. John says they are not sure. Paulina asks what they are sure about and complains that it feels like they are guessing when her husband’s life is at stake. Paulina apologizes for snapping but says she’s just frustrated and losing her mind. Steve assures they understand. Paulina knows they are doing their best and that they love Abe too. Paulina cries about thinking worst case scenario but decides she will not go there. Steve encourages that Abe is tough and a survivor, so he will survive this too.

Abe comments on Whitley calling him a good and honest man, then questions why he was impeached. Whitley says he doesn’t usually like to talk about that but Abe says he wants to talk about it now. Whitley repeats that it was sparked by his rival EJ DiMera, who accused him of cheating and somehow proved it but it wasn’t that simple. She talks about how Abe wanted to win to serve the people of Salem. Abe questions if he cheated to win. She blames his shady campaign manager, Jennifer Horton, who put him up to it. Abe vaguely recognizes Jennifer’s name but asks who she is to him. She calls her no one that he needs to know and not a good person. Abe asks about EJ and what happened to him. Whitley responds that EJ is still the mayor of Salem and the most popular mayor they ever had, even more than Doug. Abe complains that this doesn’t feel right because every bone in his body is telling him that his life is different. Whitley asks if he’s okay. Abe says it’s just jarring to see himself on video and asks if he ever tried politics again after the impeachment. She claims he did not as it was all so painful that he wanted to stick to what he knows best. Whitley suggests maybe losing his memory is not such a bad thing because most people are bogged down by memories of the past, mistakes, and pain endured but not Abe as he has a clean slate and gets to start fresh in the present. Abe argues that memories are what they are, complaining that he doesn’t even know what kind of man he is without a memory. She decides that she needs to go start dinner and heads to the kitchen.

Wendy repeats to Li that she really is proud of him. Wendy brings up all the crazy things that he did to keep Gabi around. Li asks if they have to go down the whole painful list. Wendy says she just hated seeing him so obsessed, reminding him that he brainwashed a dude. Li responds that he loved Gabi and believes in fighting for who you love. Wendy says there is fighting and then there is lying, kidnapping, and blackmail. Wendy feels that Li morphed into a lovesick maniac that she didn’t even recognize as he lost all perspective with Gabi and Stefan. Li feels that she’s exaggerating but Wendy says he was out of control and really worried her. Wendy is relieved that he’s finally over Gabi and put all of this behind him before he did something that he can’t take back.

After showering, Stefan tells Gabi that their special dinner will be a surprise. Stefan promises she won’t be disappointed but she’ll have to wait to see it until they go downstairs.

Megan tells EJ to imagine the possibilities since Chad is no longer interested in DiMera Enterprises and Tony is semi-retired, so with Stefan out of the way, Stefano’s legacy is theirs for the taking. EJ points out that she is forgetting Kristen and guesses that it was Kristen on the phone earlier. Megan says enough questions and asks if he’s going to keep her plan to himself or not. EJ responds that he’s sorry as he may have done some despicable things in life, but he’s not going to conspire to kill his own brother. EJ declares that he’s going to warn Gabi and Stefan. Megan then grabs a vase and smashes it over EJ from behind, knocking him out and says to look at what he made her do.

Paulina decides she’s taken up enough time and should leave so Steve and John can focus on finding Abe. Steve knows how brutal waiting can be and offers to let her stay in their guest room. Paulina says that Chanel will be waiting at home. Paulina asks them to promise not to rest until they bring Abe home. Steve and John assure that they will.

Abe resumes watching Body and Soul with Whitley. Abe asks about two of the characters having amnesia. Whitley decides that’s enough for one day and turns it off, suggesting a game of checkers.

Wendy tells Li that they’ve talked enough about Gabi for one night and asks about the matchmaker, wondering when she’s going to start hooking him up with Salem’s women. Li says that he just hired her today and they still need to iron out a plan of action. Wendy asks if he knows for sure the matchmaker is solid and asks how he found them. Li claims he just searched matchmakers and the one he chose had great reviews. Wendy asks what the reviews said. Li claims the one that stood out to him, said she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Megan drags EJ in to the secret tunnels since she can’t carry him through the front door. Stefan and Gabi head in to the living room. Stefan says he could’ve sworn he heard a voice. Stefan then sees the broken vase and questions what the hell happened here. Stefan blames the cleaning staff. Gabi suggests they go outside for their delicious dinner, so they exit together.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How’s the water, birthday boy? Oh, just perfect oh, I wish I could. Unfortunately, I have a meeting with a client I have to get to. Oh. Well, I sure do appreciate you stopping by. Of course. Had to say happy birthday to my only brother-in-law.

[ Chuckles ] Zeke, you make that meeting as fast as you can and come back. We’re having cake later on. Cake? Yes. Oh, I will so be there.

[ Laughter ] Alright, I’ll see you. Okay. Cheers. Everything okay? Yeah. Yeah. I was just kind of hoping that, um, you know, maybe… happy birthday, curtis.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Buttons clicking ] Michael, it’s drew. I just, um — I just wanted to say thank you so much for holding down the fort at aurora. No, I have not been to G.H. Yet. Things got a little bit crazy last night, but I’m — I’m gonna get there soon. I just, um… I got to take care of a little business first. Let’s just say that I am taking the future into my own hands. Sasha, you’re already here. Yeah. I didn’t want to be late. We have time to take a breath. Gladys, I know where this is going, so I’m gonna ask you, please don’t start. There’s no reason to jump into terminating the guardianship. We have been over this several times. I…just want you to think about it a little longer.

[ Scoffs ] It was only a few days ago that you went on the home & heart shopping channel and you almost had another break. I was being manipulated by those sleazy producers. I wasn’t hearing a baby cry in my head. They were playing that noise in my earpiece. Still, the worst could have happened. But the worst

didn’t happen. I was able to hold it together, and the producers backed off, thanks to cody. Well, even you have to admit it, gladys. Cody stepped up and saved the day. Oliviaee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus. Holy mary, mother of god, pray for us sinners now… olivia, are you okay?

[ Sniffles ] Yeah. When I was a little kid growing up in — in bensonhurst, I always remember all the — all the grandmas and the great-aunts pulling out their rosaries, you know, in a time of crisis. And I always swore that I would never be that… old-fashioned, you know, old lady. And then I got old.

[ Chuckles ] And I realized… how scary life can be. And I’m so grateful for my rosaries and for my prayer and for my — for my faith. You know, it comforts me. Why’d you stop praying? Because… honey, I’ve been praying all night. I don’t feel like god is listening. If god listens to anyone, it’s you. Well, then why don’t we have any news about your dad, huh? Just give me a sign, please, something. Hey. Drew told me what happened to ned. And I wanted to be here for you and your family. Olivia, this is great. Carly, you’re an angel. Olivia, look, if I’m the last person you want to see, I can just go. Tj: Ms. Quartermaine? We have some news about your husband.


This is for you, curtis. Thank you, trina. I’m really glad you came. It’s so good to see you, sweetheart. I-I couldn’t — I couldn’t miss curtis’ birthday. I’m so glad to see you, baby. Give me a hug. Oh. Hi. Alright, alright, alright. My turn. Come on. There we are.

[ Laughter ] Wonder what’s keeping thomas junior. Oh, um, tj called to wish me happy birthday and to apologize that he couldn’t be here to join us. He’s shadowing the head of neurology at G.H., So he couldn’t get the day off. Oh. Oh, what a shame. I was hoping to get the whole family together now that it’s all official. And here I thought you were gonna forget about me. I, um, actually had something to talk to you about. Do you have time for a coffee? Oh, um, actually, I can’t stay. I have to meet a client. Okay, you’re gonna need to come up with another excuse, because that one — it’s getting old. No, no, no. Listen, listen. I don’t live in port charles, so when I’m in town, I’m kind of at the mercy of my clients. However, now that you’ve called me, I have your digits. So what do you say? Are you free for lunch? I’ll see what I can do. Okay. Well, if you can’t, I’ll just call you and we’ll make other plans. Okay? Okay. Excuse me. Good seeing you. Hey…partner. How about you join me for a drink? I wasn’t all that sure about cody, but I’ve really come around on him. He seems like he’s one of the good guys.

[ Scoffs ] Am I the only one who remembers that cody stole an expensive bracelet from me? Well, uh, wait a minute. That has yet to be proven. Is that true, detective? I’m not — I’m not gonna comment on that. Are you two here to see willow? Uh, no. Ned, actually. He was in an accident. Oh, no. I’m so sorry, dante. As if your family isn’t going through enough. I will pray for you all. Thanks, sasha.

[ Cellphone rings ] Uh, this is the station. I gotta — oh, yeah. Go take it. I assume you’re here to see willow. I am. After my appointment. I’m here to see a psychiatrist to discuss ending my guardianship. Congratulations. That’s great news. Just to be clear, it’s not a done deal. It’s just the initial consultation. You’re not against sasha regaining control of her life, are you? Okay, let’s update you on what we’ve learned about ned. Okay, um, I don’t want to intrude. So I’m — I’m gonna take off. Okay.

[ Crying ] Carly, wait. Will you stay, please? Of course. Of course I’ll stay with you. Okay. Okay. We’re ready. Late last night, we put ned under twilight sedation for his brain swelling. Oh, god. I’m sorry. No, no. Tj explained that, um, the swelling was moderate enough that — that they may be able to bring it down with the — with medication, with the diuretics. That’s right? That’s correct, yes. We’re keeping ned in a twilight state to manage his pain until the swelling goes down. Unfortunately, we’re not seeing as much improvement as we’d like. W-what does that mean? That means we’ll continue to monitor him for now. But if the swelling persists, we’ll have to bring him in for surgery.

[ Sobs ] You iod. Taggert, it’s only 11:00 A.M., And clearly you’ve already had a few. Are you okay? Why wouldn’t I be okay? I was just wondering if you had spoken with — with taggert at all recently. No. Why? Because he might need a friend right about now.

[ Sighs ] The dna results came back. And curtis is trina’s father. What you need isn’t found in a bottle. Says you. Come on, let’s get you back to your room. I’m on my way to the conference room downstairs to meet with the sec attorneys and work out the plea deal. But it’s my job to look after your best interests. So once again, I’m going to advise you not to do this. I hear you, again. Not changing my mind. But you want me to hold off finalizing the deal because of that ace up your sleeve, correct? Right. Yeah, just don’t finalize anything yet, okay? Um…I’m still holding on to hope. You okay? I’m not sure. I think I just saw my ex-brother-in-law. Okay, everyone. Yes? I want to make a toast to my son. Oh, pop, it’s really not necessary. I know I don’t have to, but I’m gonna do it anyway because…I remember when you were born. I held you in my arms, and I couldn’t believe how blessed I was to be the father of another — another perfect son. I wanted to teach you all the things that my father had taught me. You see, my father, he, uh — my father made sure that I knew that it was just as valuable to play a musical instrument as it was to throw a ball around. He — he made sure he taught me to be open to — to new experiences, explore the world. That’s what I wanted to teach you. But, uh, as we all know, sadly, life turned out differently. But, hey, in spite of that, my son, he loves music anyway. And I got to cook him my world-famous gumbo ya-ya the other night. Yes.

[ Laughs ] So I guess, as the saying goes, better — better late than never. ‘Cause, uh, standing here today…

[ Knocks ] …With my son on his birthday, I feel just as blessed as I did all them years ago. Ah, forget all that. To curtis. Yeah. Oh, oh. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before anyone drinks, I have something to add. Uh-oh.

[ Chuckles ] The only thing that gives me more joy than being with my nephew on his birthday is that this year… we are joined by his daughter. Alright. Welcome to the family, trina. Hear, hear. That’s a birthday gift. Amen.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Mm, mm. Now I want to get us our first family picture. Oh, my goodness.

[ Chuckles ] Curtis: Well, alright. Uh, e-excuse me. I need to use the restroom. Is it something I said? Of course I want sasha to heal and not need me to be her guardian anymore. That was always the goal. Look, I’m just saying, was it everyone’s goal? Yes, it was. Hey, um, sorry for making you wait. You ready? Yeah, of course. Good luck, sasha. Thanks. I’ll take it. Gladys, please stop worrying. I’m ready. It’s time I took my life back. I’ll keep you posted as soon as I learn anything new. Thank you, doctor. Oh, god. I got to tell tracy. She’s bringing leo because he won’t stop asking about ned. Poor kid is probably so worried. I didn’t go home last night, and he was alone with tracy, so… I’ll go home and act as a buffer, okay? Thank you, sweetheart. Of course. I appreciate it.

[ Sighs ] Olivia, it’s gonna be okay. Ned is strong. I’m just so grateful that drew was there. You know, if he hadn’t been there, if he hadn’t acted so quickly, I don’t know — I don’t know what would have happened. There isn’t anyone drew wouldn’t help. The hell did you just say? I didn’t say — I-I must have misspoke. I mean, I — no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You just say it, carly. You think it’s kind of ironic that drew saved ned’s life when you think that ned was trying to destroy drew’S. I didn’t, no. You didn’t have to say it, carly. It’s what you’re thinking, right? Even though ned swore that he was not the one that told the sec about your insider trading. It doesn’t matter how I feel about ned. I wanted to be here for you. You know what? You know what? Ned only needs people here who are rooting for him, not people who are against him, alright? I don’t wish ned any harm.

[ Stammers ] Neither does drew. Ned swore to me that he is innocent, and I believed him. So if you’re gonna be here sitting in judgment of my husband while he is in there fighting for his life, you just go. I don’t need you here, okay? This is hard enough for me already. You got it? That’s fair. Hey. Morning, carly. Hey. I was just leaving. Is…there bad news about ned? It’s me. I am sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was upset you. I’ll be praying for you and ned and your whole family. Ma, hey. What the hell was that? You okay? Come on. Hey.

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sighs ] I hope you didn’t listen to what sam suggested. I-I am just concerned about you, that’s all. I understand that, gladys, and I know that you feel pressured to do right for me out of obligation to brando. But… it’s starting to feel like you can’t see how far I’ve come. Like at that last home & heart taping. The producers were literally messing with my head, hoping that I would melt down so they could get a pathetic boost for their ratings. But I didn’t freak out. I held it together. And you’re the one who argued against me making that appearance in the first place. I’m starting to feel like you don’t believe in me. No. No. That is not it. Then what is it? Stella, I know you are excited about having trina be part of the family. Hell, you’re — you’re her great-aunt. I’m — I’m her grandfather. I’m excited, too. But we got to do this at trina’s pace, not ours. Ease up. You’re right. I-I am pushing too hard. I just wanted to have the family come together and get over all this hurt between everyone. Yeah. Yeah, I understand. But the situation is still — still delicate. We have to give trina time to want to be with us. I see so much of my sister’s spirit in her. You do, too, don’t you? Yeah, I do.

[ Laughs ] Oh, yeah. Just kills me that trina will never get a chance to know irene. I’m worried about trina. Well, she just needs a minute. And maybe we should kind of chill on this instant-family kumbaya stuff. Well, I’m with you on that. But she’s on summer break. But living with carly. How much more space could she possibly need? Well, she’s not choosing to live with carly over you. She’s already josslyn’s roommate, so she’s just extending the arrangement over the summer. We got to give her that. What you’re saying makes sense, but it’s — it’s still extremely difficult. I know. It’s gonna take some getting used to for everyone. Maybe you can explain that to aunt stella, except for I think my dad’s already taken care of that. Well, maybe that gives us a chance to talk about us. Curtis, where do we really stand?

[ Laughs ] Oops.

[ Laughs ] Well, this — this is better. How about we, um… let’s order some room service. You want a bloody mary or a mimosa? The only thing you’re drinking is water. You know alcohol isn’t gonna solve your problems. What do you know about my problems? Portia told me about the dna test. Mm. So you know a lot.

[ Sighs ] But you don’t know what it feels like. ‘Cause you didn’t have to wake up finding out that tj wasn’t your son. No. No, I didn’T. One minute I have a daughter, and the next minute I…don’T. And there’s no way for me to get her back.


If they can’t get his swelling in his brain to go down, they’re gonna have to operate. That can be a really dangerous surgery. I know. And olivia is taking it so hard. Well, I’m — I’m — I’m sure she was really happy to have you there. I-I don’t know about that. I think I made everything worse. What do you mean? Well, I said something that came out wrong, you know, how — how you would risk yourself to save anyone. And she interpreted that to mean that I didn’t want ned to get better and that I think he deserves what’s happening to him. And I don’T. That is not true. No, olivia’s just frantic with worry. She needed a place to vent. You were it, okay? You guys are way too close not to figure this out.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know if we will. I mean, come on. These insider trading charges are looming over everything. And if ned stays in the hospital, our one plan to get out from underneath these sec charges, I mean, that’s not gonna happen. You know that. I’m not counting anything out just yet. Did you find something? I did. On tracy. I made a promise to take care of you, honey. Brando was gone, and you needed help. I want to do right by my son. You have, gladys, and so much more. I would not be doing this if I did not feel ready to take control of my life again. I hope you’re right. Dr. Montague: Sasha gilmore? Yes. I am dr. Damon montague. I’m here to discuss terminating your guardianship. Nice to meet you, dr. Montague. This is my guardian and mother-in-law, gladys corbin. Nice to meet you, ms. Corbin. Will you follow me? Good, ’cause I have a whole list of questions for ya. I’m afraid this visit is only between me and sasha. But I’m — I’m her guardian. I have important insights. And there will be time for that later. Today is only about me getting to know sasha. Shall we? The doctors explained that they are gonna try to bring down the swelling in his brain with diuretics, but, um, if it doesn’t come down fast enough, he’s gonna need to go into surgery. Okay, but it sounds like they’re doing everything they can to avoid that, right? Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. You okay? Yeah. I got to take this. Yeah, yeah. Of course. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Hey, do you want to — do you want to talk about . The only thing that matters right now is ned coming back to us. Honey, even if he doesn’t need surgery, I mean, we don’t know. There could be brain damage. Okay, hey, look, look. There — there could be — there could be so many — ma, stop. I know it’s hard right now in moments of uncertainty to kind of just let your mind go a little wild, but — but just try and stay in the here and now. Okay. Okay? Okay. I know. I know. I just — I was so upset with ned over this stupid sec thing. Stop. Stop. It’s just — look at me, mom. You already told him that you knew he wasn’t responsible for that anonymous tip, okay? Don’t — don’t do that to yourself, please. I’m just thanking god for that. I mean, it’s the only thing that’s making this even slightly tolerable. But I just — I just keep thinking of all the time that we lost. Time we might never get back.

[ Sobbing ] I’m sure it was hard to learn that trina isn’t your biological daughter. But she isn’t gone. You’re still the man who raised her. I’ve seen how much trina loves you. That dna test didn’t change any of that for her. Well…

[ Scoffs ] That’s what I told myself — nothing can break our bond. I think I actually convinced myself that I was prepared for the possibility that she might not be my daughter. But deep down, I was just holding on to the hope that the test would confirm that she was really my daughter. And when it was the opposite… I was crushed. Well, of course you were. And anyone would feel the same. Listen, it’s gonna take some time to process, but the shock will wear off eventually and you and trina will pick right back up where you left off. I’m keeping a brave face up for trina. I don’t want her to worry about me. I mean, she’s not just related to curtis. She’s also related to marshall, stella, tj. I mean…

[ Sighs ] Wow. If trina wants to get to know her real family, I don’t want to get in the way.

You are trina’s real family, too. They all know that. Why won’t you let yourself see it? We’re figuring things out. But we’re not. We’re dancing around the issue, and we’re not really talking about it. We found out that trina is your biological daughter and you missed out on her entire childhood. You must…resent me. I’m not gonna lie. I would have loved to have seen trina grow up. But what’s done is done. I-I’m not gonna let it hold me back, because I still have every moment from here on out to connect with my daughter. And if she’ll have me, I am here for it. I’ll never forgive myself for staying silent as long as I did. Well, you know what? At some point, you just got to forgive and move on. You know, a few weeks ago, I never would have imagined that we would all be here… yeah. …Together.

[ Chuckles ] Is there still hope for us to become a real family? There is.

Trina’s gonna get to know all about irene. You just have to give her some time. You sound so sure. That’s ’cause I am. You just have to stop pushing. All this — all this is new. But once the newness wears off, trina is gonna want to get to know this side of her family. Trust. I don’t know. That girl really loves marcus taggert. And we have to encourage all of that. I’ve gotten to know trina, and I believe that trina really wants to be a part of us, and that is when we’ll be able to tell her all about the family she didn’t have a chance to be with, the family that she has right now. I pray that you’re right. And I will wait patiently for that day to come. You? Patient? Oh. [ Scoffs ] Look, I have been overrun with boys in this family. And now that we finally have a girl, I’m not gonna push her away.

[ Laughs ] Hear, hear. Hey. Hey. Sorry about that. It’s okay, trina. You know, this is, um — this is all new for us, too, so we just got to take it one day at a time. How’s taggert? Well, I saw him last night. He’s doing well. That’s really good to hear. But excuse me for one minute. I want to go check on the cake for later. Okay.

[ Laughs ] If it’s okay with you… can you open this when it’s just us? Sure. Trina was just telling me about her, um, plans for summer, and, well, everything was normal, and, um…

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ] …I started to, um, notice her features that I always thought came from me and, um… how she laughed… like my sister gia… and how she got so… serious when she was thinking like my mom did. And then I realized that, um… none of it was from me or my blood. Everything I thought that made up my daughter came from somebody else. Is it wrong to say that I’m nervous? Of course I want to be independent again, and I do believe that I’m ready. But actually being here, it’s — it’s daunting. Well, it’s my job to take off some of that pressure. I’m here to give my medical opinion to the court so the judge can decide if you’re really ready for this. I read your file. You experienced two traumatic losses and all while living in the public eye. It must have been incredibly difficult. It was definitely a struggle. How would you characterize your relationship with your guardian? I am grateful to gladys. When my husband, brando, died, I was shattered. To lose him so soon after losing liam… I couldn’t get out of bed. And gladys really stepped up for me. I mean, we may have butted heads a few times, but I always know that gladys will have my best interests at heart. Tell me more about your butting heads. I was confronting tracy about trying to convince ned to go to the sec in exchange for me keeping her secret. But that’s when ned came charging into the pool area. Then he tripped and he fell. Ohh! And then naturally, tracy tried to pin it on me, say that I pushed him, but the security cameras covered me. Thank god I insisted on putting those cameras around the pool.

[ Cellphone rings ] That’s what happens when I own the place. That’s right. Hold on. It’s diane. Hey, diane. Really? Wait, wait, wait. Drew is here with me now. Okay, the U.S. Attorney called diane. They want to meet diane and me in their office. Okay, so this is where they make the offer for me to turn against sonny in exchange for dropping the charges against me and drew, right? Probably. Alright. Yeah. Wait. I want you to tell them that I’m not gonna turn against someone I care about to get out of this, okay? Make sure you tell them that. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] That’s very brave. Brave? But I got to ask you. What? Now what? Sam: Hey. Dante: Hey. Everything okay? Yeah. Sorry. It was scout. But, uh, she’s fine. Um, are you okay? Do you need anything? Are you hungry? I’m good. Thank you, honey. Appreciate it. He’s gonna need surgery, isn’t he? No, I was just going over his latest test results. Ned actually turned the corner. He won’t need surgery. Oh! Oh, thank god! Oh! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[ Sobbing ]


How’d it go? It was a good start. I’ll see you soon, sasha. Thank you. Bye. Excuse me. Damon? Gladys, I had no idea that sasha was your daughter-in-law. How surprising to run into you this way. Definitely unexpected. I mean, will you need to recuse yourself from sasha’s case since we know each other? Oh. Why invite questions? My private life has no bearing on my work. Hey, I haven’t seen you at the savoy in a while. Will you be rejoining ms. Wu’s game anytime soon? Sasha isn’t the only one trying to turn over a new leaf.

[ Clears throat ] I made a lot of mistakes in my life.

[ Voice breaking ] I chose… I chose my job over my marriage.

[ Sighs ] I compromised myself in the pursuit of justice, you know, but… …through all of that — through all of that, I always told myself I did one thing perfect. Just one thing perfect. My daughter. And… …to find out none of that was true… you’re wrong. You are what made trina who she is. No one can ever take that away from you. You see, that’s just it.

[ Sniffles ] They already have. I was thinking you never got to receive any of my homemade gifts as a kid. It’s perfect. Thank you. And maybe one day you’ll be able to put a picture of us in it. I think we could do something about that now.

[ Camera clicks ] Come on, zeke. We need to sort this out before you talk to your sister. Hi. Hey. Are you done with your meeting yet? Are you ready to join us at the pool for curtis’ party? I’m still waiting to hear back on some lunch plans. Okay, what’s that look about? Something wrong? I thought I just saw taggert. Like, we didn’t talk, but he didn’t seem well. I’m just glad that someone was there to help him. Now that the swelling is reduced, we’ll prepare to bring ned out of the twilight state. First, we’ll make sure his vitals are stable. Then we’ll bring him out of the anesthesia.

[ Crying ] And then — then he just wakes up and he’ll be okay? As with any head injury, there are a lot of unknowns. Okay. Once ned wakes up, we’ll be able to better assess the extent of his injuries. But we’re cautiously optimistic. Okay. Thanks, tj. Thank you. It’s always a pleasure delivering good news.

[ Both chuckle ] Hey, ma, see? I told you everything’s gonna be okay. Oh, thank god. It’s about time this family had some good news. Well, either ned recovers and gets the sec to drop the charges or we fight like hell in court. But we’d both be putting our freedom on the line and we don’t have to do that. What do you mean? We both don’t have to go down for this. Only one of us does.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you know, something in here has gotta lead us. Abraham partner, he just didn’t disappear off the face of the earth. Don’t worry, man. We’re gonna find him. Won’t stop until we do.

Paulina, I thought you were still in the hospital. No, I was released upon my insistence that my blood pressure would improve as soon as I was outta that damn bed and helping with the search for my husband. Any news? Well, Paulina, we just. Started Combin through all this evidence Salem P just sent us. Oh.

Oh, that’s good. That’s good. Yeah, I know. If you want the case done right, you need black patch on the job. Damn. Abe is always singing your praises. What do we got?

Nothing. You got nothing.

I am honored. And humbly accept this position as your mayor. Woo.

How can this be true

of Salem? Alina said, I said I run an ice cream shop.

What the hell’s going on here? AJ made a mistake. Office ass. Hey, we tried and under the heading of the Pride Goeth before the fall, you and I aren’t the only ones eating who needs to worry about taking him down. He’d be a fool to not know that. You know, I don’t trust any of my siblings, but Megan, there’s something exceptionally deranged about her.

No arguments here. I mean, EJ and Kristen. They have their limits. Right. But Megan, I don’t think there’s any line she won’t cross in order to get what she wants.

What we talked about, taken Stepan down by any means necessary. Yes, I’m in Wise decision, Mr. Shin, that I’m sure that with your help. My brother is not long for this world. Is that so? So what’s the next step? How soon we’re gonna put this plan in motion?

I’ve gotta go ej, I didn’t see there. Obviously not. Or I doubt you would’ve been standing here in my living room plotting my demise,

like sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Well, Paulina, I wouldn’t exactly say we have nothing. We’re running down every possible lead and none has panned out. Trust me, if it’s in here, we’re gonna find it. Okay. How can I help? What can I do? Well, listen, rave told us that the last person to see Abe in the hospital was a nurse named Whitley King.

That’s right. Uh, that’s right. And I, I talked to her. She said she. She didn’t know anything. Yeah. You feel sure about that? Believe me, I got everything out of Nurse Whitley that I could. She said she saw Abe in his room before he disappeared, and she had no idea what happened to him after that. I am honored and humbly accept this position as your mayor.

Woo.

What the hell? Just doesn’t make any sense.

I guess I, I won’t get any answers until Paulina comes home.

We now return to our regularly scheduled program, body and Soul. All right. Tell me, Cassandra, what is this so-called a, you have up your designer knockoff sleeve. I know the truth. Charlamagne,

what truth is that? That it was you. Who held re’s twin brother thrust against his will?

You know much as I think you’re perfect for me anyway. Sometimes I find myself wishing why I thought I was born into a nice, normal family. How’d you guess? Well, I wish for the same thing, but. Nice and normal. Doesn’t get you mansions all around the world servants. Billions of dollars in assets, all of which I do appreciate.

Mm, so I’ve noticed too bad a constant war with your siblings comes as part of the package. You know what? I don’t want it to be part of the package. So to hell with all the demer shenanigans, the power struggles, the backstabbing me. Overall Demara insanity. I’m done worrying about what my brothers and sisters are planning.

Are you really? Yeah. Mm-hmm. Well, for tonight. Okay. Well, tonight is a start. Okay, so how would you like to pass the time then? How would I, I, I would like to pass the time by focusing on my beautiful fiance. I like the sound of that.

Lee do when I didn’t hear you come in. Well, I did not expect you to be back so soon, so. How was your visit with father? Oh yeah. You know, it was, um, fine. Fine, huh? Not demoralizing and or infuriating. He sends his love. Mm. And also unsolicited advice about how I need to pick Johnny Demara over Dr. Tri then start settling down and producing grandchildren.

Am I right? He may have said those things. I wasn’t religious thing. Which is always an excellent way to go when it comes. Tohin a k a dear old dad, but enough about him. What was this plan you were talking about? Plan. I heard you on the phone when I walked in. You were asking about some next steps and a big plan, so why don’t you tell me what you’re up to, bro.

Plot in your demise. That’s ridiculous. Who are you talking to? That’s not what you think. Oh, it’s exactly what I think, and I should call the police right now. And tell them what, that you’re violating the terms of your release that you’re intending to commit frat side and should be back behind bars where you belong.

But as you know us to mirrors, we prefer to settle our own scores. And what does that mean? It means, dear sister, that you have greatly underestimated me. If you think that I’m going to be an easy target, you are sadly mistaken, which is why you are finished here, finished pack up your things. I want you out of this house immediately.

You can’t kick me out of this house. Oh, I just did. I have as much right to be here as any of Stefano’s children. Wrong. You have no rights at all where this house is concerned. That’s a lie. It belonged to father. It used to belong to father, but since he’s passing it has changed hands many times. Stefan was in possession of the D before his untimely death, upon which his widow Gabby inherited it.

But once I returned to Salem, I convinced the bank to transfer the mortgage back into my name, meaning I decide whose eyes under this roof. No, that can’t be true. Oh, it’s true. And it’s happening. So instead of darkening my doorstep, why don’t you go and stay with whomever you were conspiring with on that phone,

Molly? Out with it. Let’s hear about this plan of yours. It’s none of your concern, Jing Ween and just because we live together doesn’t give you an all access pass to my personal life. Oh, so it’s a personal plan, not business. Well, now I’m really curious. Just let it go Jinen. Why should I? We both know, I’m gonna find out eventually, especially since I’m just gonna keep hounding you and hounding you, and generally making your life miserable until one day you finally can’t take more, okay?

Okay. Okay, fine. I’ll tell you. Yeah, I knew I’d get you to crack. So what is it? What’s this big plan?

I’ve hired a matchmaker.

No worries. You’re so mad. I’m yours.

Yeah, Roman. Thanks for the update. Keep us posted. What did he say? Well, he is retracing the officer steps thinking maybe they missed something. But so far no luck. But don’t worry, he’s still working on it. Oh, well it does make me feel better knowing that all the Abe’s best friends are on the case. Listen, it’s just a matter of time before we catch a break.

Oh, I just, I just hate waiting. Ah, I feel so helpless. That is not something that I’m used to. We kinda know better than most what it’s like to worry about someone that you love. Of course you do. If anybody knows what I’m dealing with, this, uh, you two and Roman, you, you thought that your wives are lost to you forever.

Yeah, but they weren’t. And Abe isn’t lost to you either. Paulina, your husband’s coming home to you.

When is she going to be back? Need answers answer me, Charlamagne. How long did you really think that you could keep it a secret? Keep What a secret. Oh, don’t play dumb. I know that you held thrust against his will while the entire town was searching for him. Admit it.

Well answer her Charlamagne.

Hey Bob, did you miss me? Helena? Oh, look at you. I see you watching my show. I knew you were gonna get into Body and Soul.

Oh, you didn’t have to stop it on my account. It’s just getting to the good part. Besides, I have to put away all the groceries before the frozen fish sticks start to haw. Those fish just can wait. You and I need to talk. Oh, that sounds serious. What’s this about? Go for starters. Why the hell didn’t you tell me that?

I was mayor of this town. Mayor, yes. Mayor of Salem. Now, what the hell else are you lying to me about?

I know I’m not the first person dealing with a missing loved one. Oh, dear God. Not knowing where Abraham is, seeing him in my mind’s eyes suffering, terrified, wondering why the hell he hasn’t been rescued yet, Paul? Oh, I guarantee you that wherever it is, he knows for a fact and you, all of us, we’re searching high and low for him, but we’re not gonna give up.

He knows that. And don’t forget, Abe is a very recognizable figure in this town. If he’s lost here in Salem, someone’s gonna recognize him and run him right home, but no one has. So what, what, what are you saying? I mean, if Colin Bedford doesn’t have Abe stashed away somewhere, he hasn’t wandered off, where else could he be?

You got your memory back. No. I was watching your soap opera when they cut in to a press conference of me making an acceptance speech for Salem’s mail race. Press conference now. What the hell’s going on here? You told me that I owned an ice cream shop. You did own an ice cream shop baby, that the, these tapes are 15 years old and you admit I was elected mayor.

Well, yes. Yes. But your time in office was short-lived, and after that you soured on politics and then you opened your ice cream shop, which was very well run, by the way. Well, why was I mayor for only a short time? Well, you know, things happen. What happened? Oh, aim Now answer me, dammit. What happened? Well see.

Once you were elected, your political rival had you impeached for no good reason what it was. My rival, a horrible, horrible man named EJ de.

You don’t have to do this, ej I I. You have it all wrong. I wasn’t trying to hurt you. I’m done with this discussion. I can have Harold pack your bags and put them in the car. I can have them simply thrown on the street. You decide I am not leaving this house. Oh, you won’t go quietly. Fine. I’ll just have security remove you.

Life force. You don’t want to do that. Oh, just when I think you’ve joined us in the modern age. What a matchmaker. Really, what do you think I should do? Uh, have you ever heard of dating apps? They work for everyone else living in this century. I’m sure they do, but the idea of finding love through swiping doesn’t really appeal to me.

Mm. So you decided to hire an old, busy body to find you a girlfriend, someone who understands me and what I’m looking for. Yes. Father talked to you into this, didn’t he? I made my own decisions. Jing, when. And why wait, considering what came in the mail today?

Your final divorce papers? My marriage to Gabby is officially dead. Thanks to the man who killed it.

Oh my God.

I think I just saw my life flash before my eyes. So French, call it the little dad. Oh, not a bad way to go. No. Come here. I just can’t believe we’re here again in this house, in this bed. I’m sorry. It’s not the mess. We, we will reclaim that soon enough. I don’t care what bedroom we’re in, as long as we’re together, out in the open and happy.

Oh, very happy. Very, very happy. And soon we’re gonna be husband and.

What is it? What’s wrong? I dunno. I dunno. I guess I just afraid to let myself be this happy again. The last time we were married, you were taken from me. Happy. Don’t think about that. It’s all in the past. I can’t. I just let it go. I. I cannot not. How do I just not remember that? I, I thought you’d been killed.

I thought that I’d lost you forever. I thought my own life was over. I’m sorry. That like I

we’re here together.

Whatcha thinking?

Stephan, how do you know that something awful isn’t waiting for us around the corner again, because it’s not Gabby, we were given a second chance and we would be fools not to take it. History’s not gonna repeat itself. I promise. I promise when everything I hold dear, nothing or no one will take me away from you again.

Let go of my hand, not until you listen to me. All right, then gimme one good reason why I shouldn’t have you thrown out on your lying murderous as with the rest of the rubbish. Because it is not you. I’m planning to kill you, idiot. It’s.

Hm, A few more of those little deaths. I might experience the real thing. Would you stop? What? Don’t joke like that. I’m serious. We don’t know how strong Jake’s heart is. Don’t stop it. Don’t say that too dark. Isn’t that what you love about me? One of the things, one of the many things. Oh, I love you too. You ready for round three?

All ready? I was gone. For too many years and we have some serious making up to do. Okay, well, how about we move this bucket to the shower, then I like where your head’s at. Tell you what. Why don’t you go into the bathroom, make sure the water’s nice and hot. All cut down in the kitchen, have cook. Fix us a nice romantic dinner on the terrace while we’re done.

Girl could get used to that. That’s the plan. All right. Go.

I’m sorry, Lee. It’s not like I wasn’t expecting it. Still, I’m staying hitting black and white. Can’t be easy. You okay? I live. You win some, you lose some, right?

You know what I gotta say? This feels like progress. My divorce. You accepting your divorce? I mean, you aren’t tearing the room apart. You aren’t blotting some desperate scheme to try and hold onto. Gabby, I’m really proud of you, Lee, for finally moving on.

You want to kill Stephan? What has that brother ever done to you? Well, it’s nothing personal, really nothing personal. Said the Cobra as has swallowed the gerbil. Let’s just say, I wanna shake the table a bit. What the hell does that mean? It means that with Stephan outta the way, Gabby will be vulnerable, freeing up power in the family and the company.

So this is about you wanting more of father’s fortune. You are reel that heartless. You would do that to your own flesh and blood. Spare me the melodramatic soliloquy on Demira family loyalty.

Father wasn’t above eating his young, metaphorically speaking. At least I hope. If you think father would want Stefan’s own sister to kill him, then you didn’t know him at all. And you did Elvis. You think his legacy belongs to you? The little boy who he sied with a buck tooth IMB via Turkey baster. Don’t you dare speak about my mother again.

Oh, get over yourself, junior. Your self righteousness is beginning to bore me. E. Besides what do you care what happens to Stephan? Because he’s my brother and he’s a decent human being. Oh, come on. You two have been fighting for months now. You can’t think he’s that decent. Look the way I see it, Stephan’s untimely death could be good for both of us.

It would help us both. Think about it, EJ with one less Tamara in the picture. There’d be a much bigger slice of lip pie for you and I, right? Father,

we believe that someone other than Bedford is holding you Captain. But who and why? Well, we don’t know yet, but Abe is a very powerful and influential man with an equally formidable wife with a serious bank account. Well, but if this is about money, why haven’t they contacted me for ransom? Because we’re not sure.

It’s money they’re after. Well then what the hell are you sure about? I’m, because it feels like you’re guessing and my husband’s life is at stake. Oh, whoa, Paul. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s okay. It’s okay. I didn’t, I didn’t mean to snap at you. It’s just, I, I’m so frustrated. More than frustrated.

I’m losing my mind here. Listen, we understand. Believe me. I know. I know, I know. I know. You’re doing your best. And I know you love Abe too. Well, that’s a fact. We do. It’s just, you know, so hard I going to the worst case scenario. I mean, oh, we know baby. He could, could be. He could be. No, no, no, no, no, no. Okay.

No, no. Okay. I’m not going there. We’ll not go there. I will not. Okay, good. And we won’t either. Now listen, Abe is one of the toughest dudes I know. He is a survivor and wherever he is, he’s gonna survive this too.

You keep calling me a good and honest man. Oh, you are baby. You are a honest day. That’s what they always call you. You know, my memory may not be much, but I know that. Honest. A is someone else. Okay. But you are a great man too. And why was I impeached? Uh, that’s not really something that you usually like to talk about.

I want to talk about it now. Okay. Okay. Well, it was all sparked by your rival EJ Demara. When he, uh, accused you of cheating, and somehow he was able to prove it, so I did cheat. Oh, it, it isn’t that simple. You wanted to win because you wanted to serve the great citizens of Salem. You knew that you were the best man for the job.

I cheated to when? No, no. It was your shady campaign manager who put you up to it? Jennifer Horton. Jennifer Horton. Does that name sound familiar? Vaguely. I, uh, who is she? To me? Just nobody. Nobody that you need to know. Just not a good person. And this, uh, well, my opponent, uh, ej, this character ej, uh, what happened to him?

Well, uh, ej uh, unfortunately is, uh, still the mayor of Salem. In fact, for many, many years, he’s the most popular mayor that we’ve ever had. Even more so than Doug Williams.

This doesn’t feel right. Just doesn’t feel right. Well, why do you say that, baby? Well, I mean every, everything you. You’re telling me about my life. Every bone in my, my body

is telling me it’s different.

Are you okay? Pooky? I, I hate to see you so upset. It just, It’s just jarring seeing yourself on video like that. It, it’s, it, it, I ever try my hand in politics again. I mean, after, after the impeachment. I’m afraid not. It was all so painful that you want to leave that messy world behind you and stick to what you know best.

Ice cream making people happy, right? Oh, you know, maybe losing your memory is not such a bad thing. How do you figure? Well, most people are bogged down by memories of the past and the baggage that they have to carry of all the mistakes that they’ve made and all the pain that they’ve endured. But, but not you, you, you have a clean slate.

You get to start fresh. You have a live in the present. Right, right. Memories. The memories are what we are. Paulina. I mean, I, I don’t even know what kind of man I am without a memory. I. Do you understand? You know what, it is getting late. I better start that dinner. You must be so hungry. Yes, I, I got fish sticks coming up hot soon.

I really am proud of you, Lee. So you keep saying no. Hey, bear is repeating. I mean, when I think of all the crazy things you did to try and keep Gabby around, having stuff brainwashed, uh, using your Demer shares to try and bribe her into staying with you. Okay. Do we have to go down the whole painful list?

Okay. I’m just saying I hated seeing you like that. So obsessed. I wouldn’t say I was obsessed. You wouldn’t really, I mean, Again, you brainwashed a dude. I loved Gabby, and I believe that when you love someone, you fight for them, right? But there’s fighting and then there’s lying, kidnapping, blackmail. Let’s be real here, Lee.

Okay, you, you morphed into this Lovesick maniac that I didn’t even recognize. You lost all perspective where Gabby and Stephan were concerned. You’re exaggerating. Am I? Lee, you are out of control. Hey. It really worried me, which is why I am so relieved that you’re finally over Gabby and you put all of this behind you before you could do something that you couldn’t take back.

So did you make any special requests for our special dinner tonight? Mm, I made all sorts of special requests, but. I’m not telling you what they were. Oh, come on. I know it’s a surprise. You’re such a tease. I know I am. But you love it. I promise. You’re not gonna be disappointed, but you have to wait till we get downstairs to see for yourself.

Take a moment. Ej. Imagine the possibilities. Chad is no longer interested in Demara Enterprises. Tony semi-retired. Happy to globe trot around the world with that vapid wife of his, with Stephan out of the way. Father’s legacy is ours for the taking. Aren’t you forgetting someone? Am I Kristen, you are co-conspirator.

That was her on the phone earlier. Wasn’t it enough with the 20 questions? Are you gonna keep my plans for Stephan to yourself or not? Sorry Megan. I may have done some despicable things in my life, but I’m not going to conspire to kill my own brother. Where are you going to warn Gabby and Stephan?

Oh, look at what you’ve made me do.

I’ve taken up enough of your time. I should leave so you two can concentrate on finding my husband, Paul. Listen, we know how brutal it can be to wait these things out. And you know what? You’re welcome to stay in our guest room if you like. No, no, no, no. Chanel will be waiting for me at home. Make me a promise.

Oh yeah. What’s that? That you will not rest until you find my Abraham. We’re gonna bring him home, Paulina, whatever it takes. And that’s a fact.

Oh, you’ve gotten mad Cassandra. I didn’t have to hold thrust against his will. He was with me because he wanted to be with me the hell he was. How else would have gotten him to stay away from his family for so long? Oh, I’ll tell you how. Because just like his brother, Rhett, he had amnesia.

Well thrust and red hat amnesia. What are the odds of that? You know what? That’s enough of the stories for one date. Why don’t we play a fun game of checkers?

Okay, that is enough. Talk about Gabby for one night. Tell me about this matchmaker. What do you wanna know? Everything. When is she gonna start hooking you up with Salem’s most eligible woman? Well, I just signed up today and like you heard when you walked in, we still need to iron out a plan of action.

Right. And, uh, we know for sure that this matchmaker is solid. How did you find her or him? I just searched matchmakers and the one I chose was well. She has tons of great reviews as in the business, apparently. So then tell me what was said about her and the reviews. I mean, Hmm, let’s see. Well, the one that stood out to me was when it comes to giving her clients their heart’s desire, she’s known for having quite the killer instinct.

Oh, thank God for these secret passageway. Hey, ej, can’t very well carry you through the front door, so what am I gonna find out? What’s being served? Cook said he’s going to. On the Paris when I heard somebody in there,

it’s weird. I, I could have sworn I heard a voice. Maybe it was you now who, what the hell happened here? You know, these cleaning ladies need to be a little more careful. Spaces worth of fortune. Well, I’m sure EJ has it. Heavily insured. Probably gonna end up making a fortune. Remind me to ask him about that.

Are we gonna stay here crying about broken pottery? Are we gonna go outside to check out that delicious dinner? You plan after you?

[ Relaxing music ]

Thomas: I love being in italy with you, hope. Dreams really do come true.

Liam: You look beautiful.

Hope: Oh, hey. Uh, thanks.

Liam: Are you, uh– you all packed?

Hope: Yeah, pretty much. Are the kids ready?

Liam: Yeah. Um, they kindly request a souvenir from rome, each.

Hope: Hmm. I’ll make sure to bring back something really special for them.

Liam: Yeah. We’re gonna miss you.

Hope: I’m gonna miss you too. So, that means you better have your phone on, because I will be calling you constantly.

Liam: I’m excited for you. This– this fashion preview, I think it’s gonna go great. I think– I think the press is gonna love every single dress. I really do.

Hope: Fingers crossed.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, come on, like, there was no question that the business part of it is just gonna– it’s gonna be amazing. It’s– it’s just, you know, that other noise, that’s–

Hope: Liam.

Liam: You know, I don’t– what do you want me to say? That I’m– I’m not still concerned about thomas going to rome with you?

Ridge: There you go. That voice isn’t getting any better, is it?

Taylor: No, it still sounds like I swallowed a goose.

Ridge: I like you quiet. It’s nice.

Taylor: Okay, do you have your passport?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Huh?

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Really?

Ridge: Yes. I do.

Taylor: [ Laughing ] Yes. Okay, good. Oh, my gosh, I’m gonna miss you guys so much. Me, of course, I would love to be with you in rome, but I– I get that this is a business trip.

Thomas: Ah, kind of stinks that you’re not going. Um, I’m gonna miss you, and I know you’re gonna be rooting me on.

Taylor: I am.

Thomas: Oh, oh, no. Oh, no.

[ Thomas laughs ]

Taylor: You know who– who isn’t gonna miss me on this trip? Brooke.

Katie: So, you called out taylor for breaking your girl code, and she’s trying to flip it around on you?

Donna: But she– she deliberately tried to set you up with deacon and hollis.

Katie: So that you’d be distracted when she was making moves on a ridge.

Donna: But that– that’s just so messed up.

Brooke: Well, needless to say our pact is broken. But I did get some clarity from it. I realized that deep in my heart, ridge is the love of my life.

Donna: Well, we could have told you that.

Brooke: Yes, yes.

Katie: But if that’s really what you want, then that’s what will happen. You and ridge will be together.

Donna: And maybe, even sooner than you think.

[ Donna laughing ]

Brooke: Oh, okay. [ Laughs ]

Donna: So, where do you and ridge stand as of now?

Brooke: Well, he’s– he’s being cautious. You know, he’s being protective of himself and his heart, since taylor and i did banish him.

Katie: That break had to happen. You had to end that cycle. You, taylor, you, taylor.

Donna: Yeah, it wasn’t healthy or fair to either one of you.

Brooke: I know that, and ridge knows that. He totally understands. It’s just he’s questioning things. I mean, he’s not even calling me his logan. It’s almost like he’s guarding me and him against any future pain or heartache.

Ridge: You know, brooke has been here almost as long as I am.

Taylor: Yes. I know. I know. She’s an important part of forrester creations. Yeah, she deserves to be going. But you know, the– the timing isn’t in my favor, really. But you know, this isn’t about me. This is about you and all the success that you and hope are gonna have in rome.

Thomas: Well, the line’s solid. And hope and i are going to kill it. And I think these new designs are going to surprise everybody.

Hope: Liam, you know, thomas is my lead designer.

Liam: No, I know, but it’s your baby. It’s your name on the billboard. The whole– this whole trip is about you.

Hope: Liam, if– if you’re this concerned, I mean– I don’t know, maybe– maybe, you should just come.

Liam: What?

Hope: Come with us to rome. You know that feeling of having to rewash I’m not buying that.

Donna: You must feel so disappointed.

Brooke: Taylor claimed she meant no harm.

Katie: Oh, please. I’m not buying that. I mean, it’s obvious that she was trying to set you up with somebody other than ridge.

Brooke: Yeah, she set me up all right.

Donna: I’m sorry, brooke. But you know what? At least now you know who taylor really is.

Katie: Yeah, and now, you can be together with ridge. There’s nothing holding you back.

Brooke: Yeah. It’s just, uh– it just feels different. Ridge has put up a wall between us, and uh, he’s deliberately not calling me logan. He says, “brooke.” Says, “hi, brooke.” “How are you, brooke?”

Katie: Oh, my god. Stop that.

Donna: Stop that.

Brooke: Brooke, brooke.

Brooke: I know. It’s weird.

Donna: It sounds so weird coming from ridge.

Brooke: It is, I’ve never heard him say that.

Katie: It sounds like you think he’s given up on love. Is that true?

Brooke: He did say that he has given up on destiny. That he doesn’t believe in that anymore.

Katie: Well, maybe, this trip will change things. Rome is a magical city.

Carter: You’re right about that. But it won’t be magic for me without you by my side.

[ Brooke laughing ] So cute.

Steffy: All right, katie arranged for us to bring some vip swag.

Ridge: Great. I’ll make sure that ends up in the car. I got to pick up my suit from alterations. I’ll be right back.

Taylor: Yes, you do.

Steffy: Hey, mom?

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: This is it.

Taylor: I know. I know. Oh, my gosh, I love you.

Steffy: I love you. I’ll call you when we land.

Taylor: Yes, please do.

Steffy: I love you.

Taylor: I love you too. You’re gonna kill this.

Steffy: Yes, we are.

Thomas: See you over there.

Taylor: Bye! And you. Oh, my gosh, you are– you are getting it done.

Thomas: I’m getting it done.

Taylor: You are. And– and I think this trip is going to be just the first in– in many successes in your career.

Thomas: This isn’t just about me. You’re a part of this too. I mean, you were woven into every fiber of everything I create.

Taylor: Oh, honey. You know, you are doing so much work. So much hard work and… it’s a lifetime journey to commit to healing the way that you are, but you’re doing it.

Thomas: I know. I am. And I promise that I’m gonna keep working just as hard as I have, right? And um, like this trip, obviously, nothing is gonna happen with hope and me.

Taylor: I am not worried about you, okay? That’s all I’m gonna say.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: But I’ll also say that… I am so proud of you. And I’m really looking forward to everything, and all of the good news and all the amazing stuff that you’re gonna tell me.

Thomas: Thanks, mom.

Liam: You want me to come to rome?

Hope: You’re my husband. Is it really that much of a mystery why I would want you there? I mean, do I really need a reason?

Liam: You don’t have to do this. I– I don’t need to– I don’t want to be your chaperone.

Hope: No, that’s not what I meant.

Liam: Hope I– I want you to enjoy yourself over there. I want you to bask in the– in the applause and accolades, and I’m gonna be cheering for you from here in spirit, but you don’t need thomas there and it’s not too late. There are so many ways that you could pull him from this trip.

Carter: I had to get one

Carter: I had to get one last look before I left.

Katie: Are you excited?

Carter: About the trip? Yes. About leaving you? No.

Katie: Well, trust me. If it were up to me, I would take you back to my place and I would lock you in the bedroom and I wouldn’t let you go.

Carter: That is not a terrible idea.

[ Both chuckling ]

Katie: I might get in trouble with some of the higher ups.

Carter: I don’t know. I think I know a guy.

[ Katie chuckling ]

Katie: Seriously. I’m so excited that you’re getting this opportunity, but… I’ll miss you.

Carter: I’m gonna miss you too.

[ Both chuckling ]

Donna: Toss a coin in the trevi fountain from me, okay?

Brooke: Oh, I will. I’ll make an extra wish for you.

Donna: Yeah? And have a fun trip. You know, I have a feeling that rome is gonna change everything for ridge. And his logan.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay.

Donna: You’ll see.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: Uh, all right.

Donna: Arrivederci!

Brooke: Ciao!

Donna: Ciao, bella!

Taylor: Hey.

Ridge: Oh, hey. Hey. Hi. Nice to have a moment alone.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am so– so happy for thomas.

Ridge: I am too.

Taylor: Look what he is doing, what he’s done, the changes he’s made.

Ridge: You’re responsible for most of that.

Taylor: I can’t take all the credit, but thank you. Yeah, I don’t– I don’t want you to lose faith in me. And I know it’s tricky right now with all the– the brooke drama.

Ridge: Let’s not get into that again.

Taylor: Okay, first of all, we haven’t gotten into it at all. We haven’t talked about it. But I will say this, I– I pulled a fast one on you the other day and I– I– I wasn’t trying to–

Ridge: I know you weren’T. And look, I’m– brooke will come around, eventually.

Taylor: I don’t think that she will ever own her part of this whole situation. She’s going to continue a smear campaign on me while you’re in italy. I know– I know that. But just remember the source. That’s all I ask.

[ Taylor chuckling ] Because– oh, damn it, I love you. And I will always love you. I mean, if you weren’t so devastatingly handsome–

Ridge: I know, it’s a lot.

Taylor: Incredibly charming. All of this.

Ridge: How does he do it?

Taylor: I don’t know. And it makes you a– a hard man to shake, ridge forrester.

Hope: I can’t force thomas not to go.

Liam: Literally, everyone would understand, given the history.

Hope: Not in the 11th hour now. Not when the– the schedule has been set. The invites have gone out, the press release. I mean, this– it– plans have been solidified.

Liam: It wasn’t the 11th hour the first time I asked, and plans can absolutely change. It’s not the end of the world if thomas doesn’t go. What matters is that all these people are there to see you because it’s your line, right? You’re the face of it. You– you understand that, don’t you?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Okay, so, please, please? Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just… doesn’t feel right.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I– I have to get to the airport. I’m holding people up.

Liam: I know. I know. But please, can we just like, wrap this up before that? Because the jet will wait for you.

Hope: Liam, I know what you’re asking me to do and I’m telling you I can’T. I can’t tell thomas not to come.

Liam: That’s not true. It is not absolutely necessary for thomas to physically be there in person.

Hope: I am already stressed enough as it is.

Hope: Having to leave you, having to leave the kids…

Liam: I know, I know and I’m sorry.

Hope: …Trying to make everybody happy.

Liam: I get it. I’m sorry about that.

Hope: If you don’t want to come, then you’re going to have to find a way to accept the fact that thomas is going to be there. He’s the lead designer of the hope for the future line. That is it. It is just a business trip. Nothing more.

Hope: Okay, um… really didn’t want to leave like this. I love you and um, I do have to get to the airport. So, I’m just gonna go. Um, and yeah, I’ll see you when I get back.

Brooke: Away we go.

Pilot: Welcome aboard.

Ridge: Well, we got half a group anyway, right?

Steffy: We’re just waiting on hope and thomas.

Pilot: Not a problem. Not a problem.

Carter: Thank you.

Brooke: This is exciting, isn’t it?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: Tomorrow, we’re gonna wake up in glorious rome.

[ Carter chuckling ]

Carter: We have an amazing local crew in place. You know, the catering, the– the permits, all set, you name it, it’s done.

Ridge: I’m so glad you were born, carter.

Steffy: Most organized man on the planet.

Ridge: Yes, he is. And on time, unlike your brother.

Brooke: I just uh, texted hope and she hasn’t gotten back to me.

Steffy: I wonder where hope and thomas could be.

Liam: Hey! What the hell is going on here?

Steffy: I’m sorry, liam. I don’t want to hurt you, but I think your wife has feelings for thomas.

Hope: Liam, I don’t want to hurt you, but thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Please.  Because you’re– you’re all staying together, and I’m telling you, hope, it just doesn’t feel right.

Carter: There he is.

Ridge: The man of the hour.

Steffy: Nice of you to join us.

Thomas: I have no idea how you didn’t get stuck in that traffic.

Ridge: All right, can’t leave without hope, anyway.

Brooke: Well, she’s coming. She texted me a moment ago, said she should be here any minute.

Steffy: Can’t imagine hope’s goodbye to liam was nice and easy.

Carter: Oh, and I have another interview for you with an outlet from milan.

Brooke: Grazie mille.

Carter: Nessun problema.

[ Ridge laughing ]

Ridge: Look at the two of you, ready for italy.

Brooke: Yeah. Well, the question is, is italy ready for us?

Carter: Hmm.

Ridge: We’ll see.

[ All chuckling ]

Thomas: Does anybody want a water?

Ridge: I’ll take one.

Hope: Sorry. Sorry, I’m late, I got held up.

Brooke: Don’t apologize, honey. The important thing is, that you made it here safely.

Pilot: Okay, everyone is here, and accounted for. Everybody, please, buckle up your seat belts, we will be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you.

Brooke: Sweetheart, are you okay?

Hope: Yeah, I’m fine.

Brooke: Yeah? I mean, everything’s okay with you and liam?

Hope: Well, everything is under control, okay?

Brooke: Okay.

Recap written by Terry

Although there’s no official police statement that Faith has been kidnapped, a hysterical and horrified Sharon knows it in her heart. Chance, who is guarding Sharon, tries to give her some hope, but a colleague calls Chance with the news that Faith was not on the flight back to college. Sharon is completely devastated at the thought of Cameron having Faith and is unaware that Nick’s been arrested.

Nikki and Victor, who also don’t know about the kidnapping, talk about how to deal with Cameron, and also how to deal with Nate. Victoria’s idea of Nick taking a leave of absence because he’s in jail is unacceptable to Victor and Nikki. Nikki asks Victoria if she would give Nick’s job to Nate. Victoria says that if Nick left the company permanently, she would consider giving the Chief Operating Office job to Nate. Later, Victor witnesses Nate and Audra scheming about how Nick’s leave of absence could be an opening that Nate could take advantage of; Audra could then take Nate’s job at Newman media, which is her current goal. Nate and Audra raise their glasses to the plan while Victor looks on.

A furious Nick regretfully acknowledges to Micheal that the police arresting him is Cameron’s plan to get him out of the way so that Cameron can get to Sharon. Micheal says that Cameron anticipated Nick’s fury and used it against him when he stormed into Cameron’s hotel room and punched the wall. Michael reassures an imprisoned Nick that Sharon and Faith are safe, with so many people protecting them.

Phyllis contacts Summer and adamantly forbids her from doing anything else to get Phyllis back to town. She also urges Daniel to protect Summer. Summer informs Michael about her plan to get Phyllis back to town. Michael vehemently disagrees, but later acknowledges that the EMT could be a critical part of the puzzle. He thinks it’s a long shot to find him and get him to co-operate but that Summer should not act on her own. Summer appeals to Grandpa Victor to help her. Victor is hesitant, but agrees after Summer puts on her best pleading puppy dog eyes that he can’t refuse.
