[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: But there’s

no one like you.

The extraordinary lengths

you go to.

This one was really crazy.

This is why I left you, bill.

But it’s also why I love you.

Bill: How do you do it? How do you get more beautiful by the day?

Carter: The only logan

I have my eye on

is the one I’m staring at.

You’re amazing, katie.

And beautiful.

Very beautiful.

Taylor: Carter.

Carter: Taylor.

Taylor: Hi.

Carter: Hi. Hey. Who you lookin’ for? Steffy or thomas?

Taylor: Neither one. Bill wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Spencer? Here?

Deacon: Okay, victoria, don’t forget to let me know when the bread guy arrives, all right?

Victoria: Will do.

Deacon: Okay. Ugh, I hate doin’ this. Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Deacon: What a beautiful surprise.

Hope: Uh, you got a minute?

Deacon: Yeah, I got all the time in the world for you. Yeah.

Hope: Oh.

Deacon: What’s up?

Hope: Oh, I just think we need to have a long, overdue conversation about sheila carter.

Deacon: Of all the things we could talk about, you wanna talk about sheila carter?

Hope: Well, not particularly, but I know what you did with her.

Deacon: You do?

Hope: Yes, dad. I do. *

Deacon: Just, please,

turn yourself in.

Sheila: No. Never. I am–

I am never

going back to prison.

Bill: Oh, I think you are.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Taylor: Yeah, bill said he was coming to forrester and he wanted to talk to me.

Carter: Didn’t say why?

Taylor: No. But I’m assuming it has to do with this whole sheila sting.

Carter: Probably right.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, I am– I am still blown away. You know, bill and ridge teaming up together to take sheila down. What a couple of heroes.

Carter: Yeah, we’re grateful for the end result.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, obviously bill isn’t here, so I’m gonna go check the design office–

Carter: Well, katie’s working in there. You know, I can walk over with you.

Taylor: It’s right over there. I– I got it.

Bill: You’re getting my calls and my texts. I wanna see you, katie. And I’ve made it easy. I’ve already arranged dinner. I’ve had the house fumigated, I even had an exorcism performed now that vampire is gone.

[ Katie sighing ] So, what do you say? Join me? Give me one more chance.

[ Knocking on door ]

Taylor: Hey. Hi.

Katie: Hi.

Taylor: There you are. Hi, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Taylor: I got your message. Said you wanted to talk. What’s up?

Bill: Well, I thought that you and I should take a little trip.

Taylor: Intriguing. Where– where to?

Bill: Prison. To see sheila. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Deacon: Hope, I don’t know what you think you heard, but I–

Hope: Dad. Like I said, I know what you did.

Deacon: With sheila?

Hope: To her. And helping bill and ridge send sheila back to prison.

Deacon: Right, that.

Hope: Come on, dad. Don’t be so modest. It is a big deal. I mean, what the three of you did. I mean, we never have to worry about sheila carter ever again. That nine-toed freak is finally behind bars, where she should’ve been to begin with. I mean, we don’t ever have to worry about her making parole or escaping.

Deacon: I did it for our family. You know I did.

Emilio: Hey, boss, what can I get you this morning? The tiramisu is to die for.

Deacon: Uh, I think I’m just gonna do a cappuccino. And, uh, emilio, do me a favor, don’t go bonkers with the whipped cream, okay?

Hope: Actually, that sounds really good. I’d love one of those too.

Emilio: Gotcha.

Hope: Thanks.

[ Bread stick crunching ] Look, dad, all I’m saying is that I know that couldn’t have been easy for you, pretending to be friends with sheila when you know all of the horrible things that she’s done to people we love and care about. She finally got what she deserved, and I just wish I could’ve been there when her face cracked when she finally realized that nobody was on her side.

Deacon: You know, it was actually kind of sad.

Hope: I’m sorry, wait– oh, are you serious?

Emilio: Two cappuccinos.

Busboy: Delicious.

Deacon: Yeah, you know, I mean, just human to human. I mean, I could see that this– this woman’s whole life was shattering right in front of her.

Hope: Look at you, you big softie.

Deacon: Get out of here.

Hope: No wonder sheila felt like she could trust you.

[ Prison buzzer buzzing ]

[ Keys jingling ]

Guard: You know the drill.

Sheila: What’s happening?

Guard: Someone wants to see you.

Katie: Why do you wanna go see sheila?

Bill: Well, it’s not for me. It’s for taylor. I’ve already told sheila exactly what I think of her. But you haven’t had that opportunity and I believe you’ll feel better if you do it.

Taylor: Um…

Katie: I agree. You should. You should confront sheila, after everything she’s done to your family. I mean, I can’t imagine what you went through.

Bill: Yeah, um, I have to own my part in that. I’m sorry for what I put you through, making you think I was blackmailing you. I hope you understand.

Taylor: I– I– I– I understand now. Um, but I’m the one that’s sorry. I– I should’ve never done what I did to you. It haunts me every single day. I– I wanted to turn myself in, and…

Bill: Well, I’ve struck a deal with the feds, so you don’t have to be haunted any longer. I’ve put it out of my mind, I want you to do the same.

Taylor: I am trying. Thank you. Do you know what, bill, you are– you are actually right. I– I do have some things to say to sheila. How soon can we see her?

Bill: Well, I’ve taken the liberty of– of making a call. So, they know that sheila is expecting a visitor.

Katie: You had a lot of faith in your power of persuasion.

Bill: I’m workin’ on it.

Taylor: Okay, so, are– are you ready to do this?

Bill: If you are.

Taylor: Let’s do this. I’ll meet you outside.

Bill: Gonna be here for a while?

Katie: All day.

Bill: Then I’m comin’ back. I’m gonna convince you to have that dinner with me. Won’t quit until I do. As hard as I worked to put sheila away, I’m gonna work even harder to get my family, my katie back. Family is just very important.

Carter: Good news. The budget increase you requested was approved. It’s good to know people in high places.

Katie: Mm. It’s a good thing I’ve been putting my time in with the C.O.O.

Carter: Mm-hmm. So, I talked to taylor earlier.

Katie: Mm-hmm?

Carter: She was looking for bill.

Katie: Yeah.

Carter: Said he wanted to meet her here.

Katie: She found him.

Carter: He was with you?

Katie: Mm-hmm.

Carter: It’s no surprise you were his first stop. There’s no secret that he wants you back now that this whole sheila saga is over.

Katie: Does that bother you?

Carter: It makes sense. Bill wasn’t bill when he was with her, but now that he’s himself again, he wants his life back. Any man would.

Hope: It always still amazes that after all this time worrying and wondering what life-threatening thing that sheila was going to pull next, she is finally out of our lives for good.

Deacon: Well, it was something that had to be done.

Hope: Well, of course it had to be done, after all the chaos that she’s caused in everyone’s life. I mean, from– from being finn’s birth mother to shooting steffy and finn to cutting off her own toe and faking her own death in order to avoid prison. I mean, dad, that is just a fraction of the crazy things that sheila carter has done. I mean, that woman is literally insane.

Deacon: Yeah, there is no doubt about it. There is no one like sheila carter.

Sheila: I don’t have anything scheduled with my attorney.

Guard: An attorney’s not gonna do you any good.

Sheila: Ah, well thank you for that brilliant legal analysis. Why– why am I here?

[ Door buzzing ] Eh, just take me back to my cell because I don’t– I don’t wanna see them.

Bill: You don’t have a choice. I’ll take it from here.

Guard: We’ll be right outside.

[ Door buzzing ]

[ Laughing ]

Sheila: Isn’t this an ironic pairing? The victim and his shooter. Hi, I’m angela.

Carter: Wait, hold on, so they’re at the prison now? Taylor agreed to go?

Katie: Yes. Bill said that he was able to confront sheila to tell her exactly what he thought of her and that taylor deserved the same opportunity and I agree. She lost a lot because of sheila.

Carter: Yeah, she almost lost her daughter. She shot finn and steffy in cold blood. Yeah, I can imagine taylor has a few things to get off her chest.

Katie: Yeah, and sheila is a captive audience.

Carter: Hm. Captive being the operative word.

Katie: Mm-hmm, thank god. I was beginning to think that we would never get that woman out of our lives.

Carter: Hm, I gotta give it to him. I mean, bill pulled it off. Dude fooled everybody, especially sheila.

Katie: She seriously thought she was going to be the next mrs. Bill spencer.

Carter: Yeah, his ruthless streak came in handy this time. We all owe bill a debt of gratitude.

Katie: Hm.

Carter: Has that changed the way you look at him?

[ Katie sighing ]

Sheila: Look, are you here to check up on me? And the last time we saw each other, I did fall on the ground with a heart attack, but I don’t want you to worry because I’m– I’m better now. I was such a fool. Believing that you could be kind. And loving. Compassionate. I– I truly thought you– you loved me. Yeah, we really opened up to one another, and for the first time in my life, I really felt seen. Respected. I trusted you and it was all just a lie. A setup to put me in here for life.

Bill: Well, you’re not such a fool after all. You’re getting it.

Sheila: I’ve never claimed to be a saint, ever, but what you did was deplorable. And you, as a psychiatrist, you must see that.

Taylor: Well, um, yeah, I mean, I guess as a– as a psychiatrist, I– I believe in kindness and compassion. To be honest, even if it hurts. You know, one of my greatest gifts is being able to find the innate goodness in someone. Shine a light on it so that they see it too and you know I believe that everyone has that quality. And then there’s you. Deplorable. Yes, that is shooting steffy and finn to save yourself. Gunning your own son down in an alley.

Sheila: That was an accident.

Taylor: Because you meant to kill my daughter. That’s why it was an accident. You almost took both parents from hayes, someone else you claim to love. But you are only capable of loving yourself. Who is gonna help you? Who can be there for you? That is who you love. Until you don’T. And then, it’s terrifying. I know because I’ve been on the other side of that. Just so scared. But you love to terrify people. You do. It gives you power and it makes you feel alive because deep down inside, you know you’re irrelevant. And thanks to– thanks to bill and ridge, you’re gonna be locked up here for the rest of your life. You almost took my daughter away from me and from everyone who loves her, but by god’s grace, you didn’t do it. I want you to listen to me. From this day forward, your name will never be mentioned again. And hayes won’t ever even know you existed. He won’t even know you walked this earth. The name sheila carter will mean nothing to my family and you will be erased from our lives… forever.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Seeing giant bears.

I heard my commissioner was in the hospital, babe. So what happened, Val? Honestly, I have no idea, but I have my best detective on the case.

Oh my God. What is all this? I’m sorry. You girls can’t be in here until we’re done collecting evidence. We need to treat this kitchen as a crime scene. Okay, but this is my bakery. I understand that. Okay. Then you should also understand that you don’t need any more evidence. We all know who slipped those drugs into my biscuit.

Oh, Erica, I want you so much. You are all I want. Nicole. Nicole, what did we do?

Um,

Is this a bad time? Again?

See, you’re alone. At least maybe you were expecting somebody else.

Your thoughts.

Hey. Oh, it’s you. Yep, it’s me. These are for you, Lil’s. I don’t think I’m dead yet. No, you’re very much alive. How you feeling? Anything hurt? No thing hurting is my pride. A few hours ago I thought you really wanted me. Turns out I was just delusional.

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

How are you? Did they say what was causing the hallucinations? They took some blood, but the, uh, test results haven’t come back yet. You sure you shouldn’t still be at the hospital? I’m fine. I started to feel better as soon as they hooked me up to the iv. You didn’t drive yourself home, did you? I wish you would’ve called me.

It’s okay. Really?

Oh, I guess you didn’t need me to stay with you at the. It seemed like you were in good hands. Stephan. You mean the real Stephan?

I admit, I I’m still hazy on the details of what happened to me. I must have been asleep when the doctor came in. So, um, what, uh, what do you remember? Uh, well, I have a vivid memory of trying to bash her head in with an ashtray. It was a remote. Oh, smoking can be hazardous to your health. I, I don’t know what happened to me.

It’s like I totally lost my mind. Yeah, me too. I, I think I know why. You and I went on a little trip we hadn’t planned ej. Hi, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Whatever. Had your attention must have been quite engaging. Yeah, I was just daydreaming. I’ve been a little off all day and I’m not sure why. Those biscuits are the culprit.

I’m sorry. A rumor has those yummy little confections were spiked with a toxin that has caused erratic behavior all over the cell.

What? Well, I’m really glad to see you. You haven’t been responding to my text. Yeah, I didn’t come here for a visit. So what brings you by. I, um, I thought I might have, um, left a scarf here. It’s my favorite. Well, I don’t think so, but you know, please feel free to look. Uh, no. Yeah, I don’t see it. I’m sorry. No worries.

Well, I’ll just get out of your way. And out of your life. Sloan, please wait. What is it about what you said before? Before when? Before I found you and Nicole tangled in those sheets right there. Oh, yes. But believe me, there was a lot of things that I wanted to say that I didn’t, and I appreciate that. But you suggested that Nicole and I must have been drugged.

What would make you think that?

Sloan Peterson has been trying to destroy my life since the minute she got to Salem. She tried to have me thrown to jail, and when that didn’t work, now she decided to come after my business by poisoning the customers.

Chan. If Sloan did this, then we will arrest her. But before that can happen, I need proof what proof the woman is a psycho. Well, let’s see if any prints turn up. Uh, well, you’re gonna find my prints, of course, and mine. Do you know if anyone else has been in this kitchen? Talia and I were alone in here last night, and we always do a thorough cleaning after we close up shop.

So if we find a new prints Sloans, if we find Sloan’s prints, then she’ll have a lot of explaining to do. But as a detective, I cannot afford to jump to any conclusions. I haven’t even started questioning anyone, but I think I need to start with you.

Wait, why would you question me? You don’t seriously think your sister would? Of course not. But you said that the recipe for the biscuits for Talia, so I need to know what you put in them so I can compare them to the lab results. Alright. Well, I usually keep my recipes a secret, but I think I can trust my own sister.

So yeah, of course. I’ll tell you. I’d appreciate that. Okay. If I record you? Yeah, fine. No problem. Um, it’s actually a very simple recipe. Wheat flour, baking powder, not fat. Yogurt, sugar, kosher salt, honey butter, and a pour of healthy organic buttermilk. Hmm, sounds healthy. You know, the biscuits might raise your cholesterol, but they shouldn’t make anyone sick.

Well, not under regular circumstances, but these Biss were linked to multiple illnesses. How bad was it? Well, the hallucinations were the worst symptoms. Some of the victims experienced it so bad that they were sent to the hospital.

You think you were poisoned? I think drugged would be more appropriate. Were you personally targeted? I don’t think so. Apparently Gabby and Stephan had a similar experience to mine. Seems like we all fell under the effects of a powerful hallucinatory drug, but this is widespread throughout Salem. We’re just beginning to learn the consequences.

You know, when you were here earlier, it was pretty clear that you weren’t in your right. No, I wasn’t. I, I was convinced that you were stuffing and from what I remember, I practically begged you to make love to me. You did. So why didn’t you

like I attempted to explain, Before we’ve tried to claw my eyes out. Oh, I only came onto you because I thought you were Gabby. And then we got into bed and you realized it was just little old me. Don’t take this personally. Ugh. Melinda, you are a very desirable woman. I just happen to be hopelessly in love with somebody else.

Yeah, that. Much as obvious to me now, like, and I apologize for not handling it well. It’s kind of an understatement, huh? Yeah, little bit. She thought you were gonna kill me at one point. I don’t think I would’ve taken it that far. Mm. But it does seem like you might have a good case for saw and battery emphasis on the.

You’re not gonna press charges, are you? No. Besides, I think the, uh, DA will decline to prosecute. Uh, I appreciate that. Mm-hmm. There is one person that the DA sure as hell is gonna prosecute person who drugged us. Yeah. Am I right to assume that it was ej? No, actually it’s, it’s not for once. I actually think my brother is innocent.

It happened to you too, the hallucinations? Mm-hmm. I must admit, at first I thought Stephan was the one responsible for the poisoning that he’d come after me, but as fate would have it, my brother was a victim. Okay, so what was it like for you after you ate the biscuits? Well, uh, when I stepped into the office, it was if I suddenly stepped through the looking la ooh, how weird did it get?

For starters, I used the copy machine to produce a rather personal image of what some would say is. Good side. Wow. That is your good side. Mm-hmm. Furthermore, when I tried to distribute the rendered copy, uh, company wide, I, um, I suddenly was convinced that my email password was letter E and the letter J all in caps repeated over and over again 1000 times.

Oh, and that’s not your password. No. No, it’s not. And that would’ve been quite a public relations disaster. And would have ended. No pun intended. My tenures co. C o Oh, I don’t know if it would’ve been that bad, but, uh, Hey, you got any, uh, extra copies now? Why would you want to fact simile when you have a standing invitation to see it in real life?

Oh, ah, I will, I will definitely keep that in mind. Mm-hmm. So tell me, do you do anything crazy while under the influence? Oh, Actually I did.

So what did you do while under, under the Influence? I hope you didn’t embarrass yourself as much as I did.

Here you go. Oh.

Actually,

when I was experiencing the delusions, I went to basic black and I cut off all the colors of the samples for the summer line. The colors? Yeah, because apparently I was convinced that it looked like something a priest would wear. Ah, that is definitely. Huh. But fortunate you didn’t do anything more extreme.

Yes. Very fortunate. But at at least you didn’t call way shin or make any other rash decision having to do with Humira. Right? Right. Like I did when Stephan drug me. Exactly. And speaking of whom, it, it sounds like the two of you have declared war again. Yes, we have. And this time I’m going to win decisively.

You know, initially yes, I thought it was e j’s handiwork, but from what I hear, EJ and Rafe and a whole bunch of other people got sick too in the working theory is that everybody was drugged. I’m eating the biscuits at Sweet Bits. The biscuits. The biscuits. Really? Yeah. So the Saban PDs working on it now.

For better or worse. Oh, I’ll stay on them. The person who did this will be punished accordingly. I don’t doubt that. And now you can go. Um, and please feel free to take your flowers with you. Why would I do that? I brought them for you. Come on, the char is over. Stephan. You and Gabby can have your happily ever.

So give the flowers to her.

Well, I don’t have to tell you, I was sorely tempted to take you to bed, but I didn’t want it to happen like that cuz of some drug tricking the mind. Let’s be honestly, you haven’t been above tricking me before. I can’t deny that, but no, this was, this was d. It wasn’t real and I love you too much to take advantage of you like that.

Really, really, you know, I was so sure that if I just had six months of marriage to you of, of living together, that I, I could make you love me again. But the goal was never just to, to have you in my bed, is to have your heart and. Seeing the way you looked at me when you thought I was Stephan,

I just, I knew in that moment that it wasn’t gonna happen. Not today, not ever.

Are you saying that you think that someone put that hallucinogen into Chanel’s baked goods now? Who? Why? Well, Jada’s over there right now trying to figure that all out. Well, I am relieved. You’re doing okay. Thanks. But this seems like more than a prank, this could alleged to some serious consequences.

Yeah, believe me, I know. Although the drug did, uh, cause me to do something that I shouldn’t have, albeit not so serious. I mean, On the grand scheme of things, Uhhuh. Okay. Are you going to tell me what you did that you shouldn’t have? Sure. Yeah. I’ll tell you,

I kissed Jada.

So your boss, Rafe, he was one of the people in the hospital. Yeah. Commissioner Hernandez. Phil Ill, and was taking there for observation. How’s it gonna be? Okay. Yeah. He’s expected to make a full recovery. Wow. You must feel relieved. I know how much he means to you. Why does that sound like an accusation?

I’m just saying he’s my boss. That’s it. Okay. So, uh, what did he do? I mean, when he was under the influence

ti. Huh? Are you okay? You look a little warmer. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, it’s kind of warm in this kitchen. Sure. Look. Can we, can we just focus on the case, please? Okay. Now that you’re done questioning us, are you gonna arrest Sloan Peterson or what?

You’re sitting, Nicole and I could have been drugged. What would make you say that? Uh, well, for starters, the both of you kept babbling on like a couple of lunatics. I mean, she said she saw you dress as a priest. And you said you saw her in a bikini? Yeah, and I thought I did. Mm-hmm. Well, look, maybe I’m being too generous, but it seemed highly unlikely that the two of you would intentionally get high together.

Well, until you said that, I still couldn’t figure out what caused me to hallucinate. I still don’t. I do. Yeah. Turns out half of town got sick off those baked goods from Sweet bits. Sweet bits. Remember those biscuits, you kept pushing on me. They were tainted. As if it’s not bad enough. Chanel killed both my parents.

She’s gotta go and poison the whole town. You’re sure that she’s the one who did this? Come on. Who else? And you know she’s gonna turn this around on me and the whole town’s gonna go along with this.

I highly doubt you’re gonna find Sloan’s prints in here. I mean, don’t you think she would’ve been smart enough to wear gloves? We’ll see. I did note that there were no signs of forced. Wait, you security cameras. What? Oh my God, I, I totally forgot. Yeah, mama. And insisted that she have her guys come install them like last month.

You can access them. Yeah. Yeah. I have an app on my phone. Well, that would make things a lot easier now, wouldn’t it?

Okay, let’s see. Date yesterday. Time. Oh no, Chanel. I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. How is this your fault? There’s no footage from last night because she told me to turn it on before I locked up. But I must have been so excited about dinner with you and your mom that I must have forgotten. I guess the security cameras won’t tell us if anyone was here.

After Talia left,

before you lay into me, let me again assure you that I am fully aware of the new policy that prohibits romantic relationships between supervisors and subordinates at Salem pd. It’s okay, Ray, you are under the influence of a substance that you didn’t willingly ingest. Yes. By rules or rules, yes, they are.

And this will have to be documented per policy. Of course. And I want you to know nothing like this will ever happen again. Well, I’m glad to hear that. And I’ll talk to Detective Hunter as will I, as soon as I get outta here and back on. And I trust that, uh, that her assessment of this situation will match yours.

I would assume so. And I imagine that we all would like to handle this discreetly. Yes, I would definitely like that as hopefully We’ll, detective Hunter, however, there was. Someone else who witnessed the event. Someone saw you kissing Jada. Yeah. Not just someone, Sloane Peterson.

Okay. Why are you looking at me like that? I was just, well, you didn’t eat any of those biscuit. Yeah, I didn’t eat any Are you insinuating I knew the biscuits were drugged. No, I was just thinking that because Eric, honestly, I would never eat those biscuits because I would never eat anything from that girl or her family.

I mean, you believe me, right? Yes. You know, cuz you did. He did, um, suggest that I trashed plaintiff’s office evil. I asked and you answered, you said you had nothing to do with. You didn’t vandalize her office or send her threatening texts, and I believe you. You sure? Yes. I’m sure you said you didn’t need any of those biscuits.

I’m just glad you’re okay. That’s sweet, Eric. But you can save all your cares and concerns for Nicole. Wait, Sloan, wait. No, you promised me. You swore to me it was over between you two and somehow you find your way back to one another.

Are you sure? The thing between you and Stefan isn’t gonna get outta control. I appreciate that. You are concerned for me, but I can handle my Ba of brother. Hmm. Technically aren’t you a bastard too? Damn, rod. I am. And Ste is going to learn that the hard way. Look Nicole, I appreciate having you in my corner.

I really do. Like I established before, I don’t want to spend all our time together plotting my brothers down for, so right now you. Have my full attention.

What’s

Linda? For what it’s worth, um, I’m sorry. All this happened to you. I appreciate it and I’m sorry I tried to murder you. Oh, maybe I had it coming. No, you didn’t. You were always honest about. Why I was there and what you needed from me. I was the one who wasn’t honest about my feelings to, to you or to myself.

Well, it was still insensitive of me to ask you to help me out in this way. You know, for a demira, you’re a pretty nice guy. Oh, don’t let that make its way around. Oh.

Is this your new strategy? That kept me to think that suddenly you’re this nice guy. It’s not a strategy, just facing reality. Talked to Jing Wen earlier before you had your episode, I was going to tell you when you walked in, tell me what I’m giving. I’m chasing after you. Gabby. You are giving up. Yeah, I’m letting you go.

You’re free. From our agreement, from our marriage, from all of it. You can be with the man you love.

I am, I’m sorry, I, I guess I’m still feeling a little loopy from whatever was in those biscuits. You weren’t feeling well? No. I’ll be fine. I think I just need to go upstairs, take a shower and try to clear my head. Of course. Do what you need to.

Nicole and I are not together, could fool me. You said yourself. We were not clear minded. It was just random that the two of you ended up in bed together. I don’t deny that we have history feels more like current events. Okay. What happened here was a one-time thing. And why should I believe that? Because Nicole and I are not together.

Even when we’re clearheaded, we can barely tolerate each other. That doesn’t change anything for you or for her? Both. And I’m hoping this doesn’t change anything between you and me. Whatever. Like it’s not like I’m your girlfriend. So you keep saying, but you came here earlier to apologize. Correct? Look, I was hurt.

Okay. Because you made me feel like you didn’t trust me with the whole pulling and Chanel thing, and, but yes, I overreacted then. Yes, I accept your apology as I hope that you will accept mine. And what I’d really like to do is for us to go downstairs and have dinner together. You wanna have dinner after all this dinner?

Yes. And then what? And then we’ll see where it takes us.

So we called Sloan into the station so we could examine her phone. Sincere. She’s the one sending those threatening texts to Paulina. Yes. And that’s when she walked in on you kissing Jada Pat timing, huh? Yeah, he could say that, especially considering Sloan’s insistence that she’s innocent and the victim of police harassment.

You think she’s gonna use this against you? I’d be surprised if she didn’t. Yeah. It’s ironic. Sloan is probably responsible for that kiss even happening. So you think that she’s the one who put the drug in the biscuits? Well, we both know that somebody’s targeting, she knows bakery Sloan is the most likely suspect.

Look, I don’t need surveillance footage to know that Sloane Peterson is the rat in our. Only rides are smart and we still don’t have any proof. She’s right, Chanel. Until we find something that connects Sloane to those biscuits, there’s nothing I can do. Damn, that bitch is ruining my life. I understand. But for now, both of you need to keep your distance from her.

Let me do my job. And I promise you, we will find who did this and bring them to justice.

You sure you’re gonna be okay from the poisoning or from you trampling on my heart. Both. I’ll survive and goun. You don’t want people to get the wrong idea about us, do you? I don’t care what other people think and I have to say. Through all this, I got to see a different side of you, Melinda, the woman, as opposed to the da.

And I have to say, you, uh, you’re pretty cool and fun and attractive, and some guy one day is going to be very lucky to have you in his life. For real. Well, thanks. And now you should go be with the woman that you love. There’s no reason for you guys to be a part anymore. Right? That’s right. Now that Lee Shin knows everything.

You are letting me go. You seem surprised. Of course. I’m surprised you’ve spent a year doing everything you can to try to hang on to me. I. I just thought that when you knew the truth about stuff and I, yes. I thought you’d tried to punish me. Well, I can’t deny that I was angry, but mostly hurt. It’s obvious to me that you don’t regret it.

I don’t.

Well, I have regrets. Lots of them. You know, my, my whole life I was groomed to be the success at business, to be cold and calculating and take what I want, but I, I never learned the personal side, and I’m afraid that, In my pursuit of you and and desperation to hold on to our relationship, I used tactics that were better suited for a hostile takeover than a marriage.

And the worst part is that I hurt you.

But despite all. I hope you know I, I really did love you.

I know you did, and yeah, I, I hurt you too. I, I made an agreement to honor our marriage for six months, and I did not honor that

you’re trying to be with the man you. And keep ahold of the Demer shares. Can you blame a girl for wanting to have it all?

Guess we have that in common, right? Yeah. Yes, we do. Well, I’m gonna start fighting for. But I’ll never stop believing that we could have been good together. We were good together. Right. You were so, uh, heels off,

deals off.

Thanks again for your help with me and e. You’re welcome. And now that you and Gabby have joined forces to take over the world, I need to remember one thing. All right? You both owe me one. And when the time is right, I have every intention of collecting on that debt.

I texted my lawyer, she’s starting to draw up divorce papers. Yeah. Don’t tell mine that this should be a smooth process. I appreciate that. We did have some really good times together, right? Yeah, for sure.

You know, since we did have good times and I’d like to look back on them fondly,

Maybe, maybe you consider letting me keep your Demari shares.

Hell no

worth the shot.

How are you feeling? Bossun? Doing fine. Thanks. And how are you feeling? Me? Yeah. I told the mayor what happened between us while I was under the influence of drugs. Okay. Well, I’m sure re explained to you that he was not in his right mind and a story. Hmm. So can we just, um, talk about the case now? Let’s do it.

What’s the. Oh, well, I just came from sweet bits and unfortunately Chanel security cameras were not engaged last night. Oh, that’s too bad. Yeah, but the lab called me on my way here. And the drugs found in your system as well as the DA’s and your sisters all matched something that were in those biscuits.

Okay, cool. What was it? A strong hallucinogen, something they hadn’t seen before. Needless to say, Chanel did not put that in her own batter. Meaning someone’s trying to destroy Chanel and her bakery and they don’t care who they hurt to do it.

Well, I turned on the security cameras. Better leave than never. Right. Hey, maybe Sloan will return to the scene of the crime and we can buster this time. Chanel, I am so sorry if I would’ve just turned on those damn cameras. Stop blaming yourself. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to turn them on.

Look, I know you’ve got my back. Your sister’s gonna prove who did this and we are gonna make them pay.

This isn’t fair. Because you know, I can’t say no to you. It’s one of my favorite things about you. Hey, why don’t you go downstairs, grab us a table. I’ll take a quick shower and be down there in a minute,

Nicole.

Nicole, are you there? I’m, I’m here. Uh, I was just calling to make sure that we were on the same page about what happened and after we talked when Sloan left, we decided that yeah, we were both out of our minds because of some kind of drug. Right. And I, I didn’t tell ej and I don’t want him to know, so it has to be our little.

Agreed. Okay. Well, I’m, I’m glad we could come together on this. Anything else? No. No. That, that, that’s it.

Well, um, yeah. Have a great day. Yeah, you too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh yeah. What the hell are you thinking that?

All right, let’s have it. Kristen, what is it that’s so damn important. What is it that you got to tell me that I’ve got to hear? Actually, it has to do with my long lost sister Megan hath. And her latest partner in crime.

Thomas Banks in the flesh. Now what are you two crazy kids doing here? What are we doing here? We’re looking for you. You maniac to find out what you did with my mother.

You sure? This is definitely not the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, it was not him. I had no way of knowing that he was not who he said he was. Okay. He showed me his badge. He told me he wanted to see the evidence from Wilhelm Ralph’s room. I know the rule of is under investigation, so I gave him the prisons.

Wait, prisms, you gave this man the prisms? Yes. He took them. Look, I’m sorry. Like I said, I, I, right. I, I, I understood. But then what? He just walked out of here. He left with the evidence and Steve, Look, I, I did not know that he was what he was going to do. Hold on, hold on. Is this the man who is posing is Shane Donovan.

Wait a minute. This, this, this can’t be, I’m sorry, but it, it is your, him, your hopefully husband. I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. So if you excuse me. No, hold on. Hold on. It’s you. I know it’s you. I’ve seen a lot of pictures. You’re Bo Brady,

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

Xander. What the hell is wrong with you? What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you? That’s That’s a breakfast biscuit, Chloe. Yeah, it was until you annihilated it. What the hell? You can’t eat either. It’s crazy. I’m crazy. You are crazy. I’m about that biscuit this morning and I’ve been running around all day waiting to eat it and I had a million errands and now you’ve ruined it.

Unless you want your million and first errands to be a trip to University Hospital, leave the bloody biscuits alone. The hospital? Yeah. Oh. Have you not heard the news? Someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogen. Anyone who eats one has seen pink elephants or worse. Wait. Seriously? Huh? Oh my God. Oh my God.

I almost ate that. Hey, look, I came along when I dead. Yeah. Thanks. Uh, so do they know who would lace those biscuits with drugs? I mean, who would do something like that? They don’t know they’re investigating, but. It’s a truly evil thing to do. Yeah, definitely. I mean, never did this. It’s clearly dangerous. Ah, wow.

Okay. Uh, well I guess the coffee cart probably still has some bagels though. They’re usually stale. Ah, wait a minute. Wait. Forget the stale bagels. Can’t let me treat to lunch. Oh, oh, oh. Uh, I think I might be hallucinating. Did you just offer to buy someone lunch? Who’s not you? I am a working man, man. I can forward to be generous.

Just, um, don’t let go around.

Megan Hathaway, what about her? Well, it turns out that she is now a fellow guest here at Statesville. And, and well, we start talking and, uh, we got to know each other a little bit. Wow. That’s fascinating. I don’t care. Kristen, why is this of the utmost importance? I was getting to that. You see, she gave me some details about the deals she made so she wouldn’t get locked up in a supermax Isa dungeon for eternity.

Kristin, I already know all of this. Megan Hathaway told the police that it was her henchman Thomas Banks that was responsible for Kayla’s kidnapping. Right. Look. So unless you is that I’m not so sure it was him.

Yeah. Well, I’ve heard. Two. Michael Harris. No, no. Scratch that. Reverse it. Harris Michaels, how do you know who I am? We have a mutual acquaintance, Megan Hathaway. I gotta tell you, man, she’s extremely proud of how she orchestrated your dissent. How did she put it? The corrupting of a good man, a Navy Seal with a impeccable record turned into a simple hired gun.

But even with all her conditioning, she missed something. It was soft side and the real fly in the ointment. Hope Brady,

who is that? His name is Thomas Banks. You have reason to believe he’s involved in all of this? No. Clearly I would not forget a face like that. It was not him. Okay. Then if it wasn’t Thomas Banks impersonating Shane Donovan. Then what did this man look like? Describe him to me please, in detail.

Now, isn’t that better than a crust, your breakfast biscuit? Well, I’m sure if that biscuit hadn’t been laced with the hallucinogens, it would’ve been divine, but this chatter is always delicious, so thank you. You’re welcome. It was at least I could do after that snack, attack outside, but it does occur to me that we are back where you bested me in dance Bested.

Okay. I am sorry, sir. I believe I, I wept the floor with you. Yes, you did. And it was quite humiliating actually. So maybe you’ll soothe my wounded ego by allowing me a rematch. Uh, well, since I’ve been doing a little dart technique research, I’m not sure that I would be able to soothe your wounded ego dart technique research.

Oh, yeah. It’s a whole thing. I mean, I learned it’s, it’s very important to lead with your elbow and then you use your sight line for your throwing. Can you use your dominant eye to look at the target while you aim? So, um, are you sure you’d like a rematch?

Well, now you’re fasty and I like it, but you’re gonna have to be just a little bit more specific, see and known a lot of mothers, off the top of my head, I just can’t remember what I did with heat. Is that really the game you’re gonna play? Banks game? I don’t even know the rules, Chad. Fine. Let me spell it out for you.

The woman you kidnapped is my mother, Kayla Johnson. And you are damn well gonna tell us where you took her. Sorry to disappoint you. You got the wrong dude.

Okay, so you are saying that you don’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla? Based on what Megan was saying, I think it’s possible it could be someone else who, what are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bo Brady is alive.

I’ll tell you when you bring Rachel to see me, Kevin, you don’t. Is that what this is all about? Really? I should have known Kristen. Well, you can’t blame me for trying to use this information to my advantage. Kristin, you’ve never given me a reason to trust you. Why would you think that? I would think this is any.

You’re dangling some tidbit of information that I’m gonna find interesting. Just so you can see Rachel. Ready. I’m sorry, but you are really gonna want to hear this, not just you, everyone in Sailor. This news is so explosive and it’s gonna change a lot of people’s lives. Mm-hmm. I’ll think about it.

I don’t know how helpful my description will be. I mean, normally we have our sketch artist come in and draw a picture of Thep, but he’s working in another town. Okay. Please just. Something, anything. Does this man have any distinctive features? Scars, tattoos, tall, short, skinny. He was just pretty average looking guy.

Okay. Middle aged, brown hair, brown eyes, medium built. Sound like anyone you know.

Well, if you heard about me from, from Megan, maybe. She had something to do with bringing you back?

No, because when I, when I was in that lab, there was someone else in one of those polygenic tubes. But I never knew who it was,

but what Megan wanted most was those three prisms.

They were why she brought me under control, why she programmed me. Now, she didn’t tell me what she was gonna use ’em for, but I know that they had some healing properties that maybe they could be used to perform medical miracles. And now it all makes sense. She wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody in that cryogenic state, somebody that she left,

that somebody was you.

Unbelievable. It’s just unbelievable. Lemme see these darts. Have you got magnets in there or something? There are no magnets. I just happen to be extraordinary at this game. Yeah. But you’ve also been researching dart plane strategy behind my back, haven’t you? Uh, well, you were kind enough to warn me about those biscuits laced with drugs that would’ve had me saying pink offense or whatever.

So I will give you a handicap and for this next dart I. I’ll close my eyes. Oh, come on. You threw the first bullseye of your life last night with your eyes closed. Do you want the help or not?

Okay. Elbow sideline.

Did I nail it?

Yeah. You uh, you nailed it. All right.

All right, thanks. Hey, your boss Megan already told us that you’re the one that kidnapped you. Whoa. Whoa. No. Where’s your boss? Ele? I’m an independent contractor. Okay. I’m sure just like you looking for your mama, that’s why I followed you. You were following us. Oh yeah. You think it’s just a Wanka dance? We all ended up here.

I saw you in the hotel lobby and I knew you would take me to where I need to go now. Gimme the list. List. What list? I don’t have a list. Do you know anything? Now who? Who’s playing games? Blue ass. Huh? Who? I saw you talking, you were talking about all the places your mama could be. No. Give me the list now.

Before I get your fingers, you’re getting itchy. Hmm.

Costas, the man you just described today alone. I saw dozens of men that fit that same exact description. Yes. I’m afraid I just described half the population of Greece. Yes, you did. Look, as I said, the sketch artist is working in another town today, but I could call Ken. What about your security cameras?

May I see the footage? I’ll pull up the file. Thank you.

Oh my God.

That’s quite a narrative you’ve strung together. You do have a flare for the dramatic, it’s not really a narrative. I made up, I heard it from home. She told me how obsessed Megan was with you. Ah, yeah. Well, those feelings weren’t mutual. One of the many reasons I left that island. And you brought Kayla with you, right?

Why would I do that? Because she’s your sister.

Let me catch you up here. The rumor I heard is that this character by the name of banks kidnapped her. Yeah, yeah. No, I, I heard that. He just seems, I, I’m just curious. You, you don’t seem that really concerned about. How about your sister? Have you met Kayla? She’s tough. She knows how to take care of herself.

She always has. Right? So, so you’re saying that you and your sister were on the same island at the same time, and you left the island coincidentally around the same time, but you’re not together. What? Man, I, I didn’t even know she was on the island or why Megan brought her there. All I know is I was fed up with, Games.

And so I took off as fast as I could alone. Okay, I understand. But since I came all this way, uh, to find her. And since you have nothing to hide, I mean you wouldn’t mind if we took a look around together, would you? Yeah. Yeah. I kind of wouldn’t mind.

Oh my God. Are you okay? I dunno. Does this mean I finally get a point? Should you, should I pull it out? Yeah. No, no. Wait, wait, wait. Well maybe you should, I dunno if I want it, Eric. Wait, what if I punctured an artery or something? Right. If you punctured along, maybe I’ll deflate like a balloon. That’s that’s not how it works.

How do you know? Do they teach that in opera school? No. No, but you can’t walk around with a dart sticking out of your chest. What are we gonna do? I dunno. Well, unless you want to even me out. Ah, I guess we are taking a trip to University Hospital after all. Oh my God. Let’s get there.

Oh, all settled in, are you? Yes. Thank you. Although I had to evict my Sully from the bottom bunk, she wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I managed to convince her. I think once she gets back from the infirmary, I won’t have any further problems with her making good friends. Good for you. Mm-hmm. So, How’s Brady?

Brady? What do you mean? Oh, I think you know what I mean. I overheard your chat. Just now. You have to say you’re not very discreet. Ah, Megan. God, I was just talking and here I was thinking that we were on the precipice of a newfound sisterhood, talking about the good old day sharing secrets, boys drinking a bit of toilet wine together.

And yet, as soon as I turn my back there you are squawking to your man about me and about Bo Brady being alive. You know what? I actually didn’t say fine. Fine. I am sorry that I betrayed some sisterly confident. But I’m gonna level with you. The only thing that matters to me is my daughter and I will play any card.

I have to get a chance to see her. I completely understand Sister. But here’s the tiny problem with your little ski. You’re not holding any cards. I never said that Bo Brady was alive.

Nice meeting you and all, but we’re done here. So, Why don’t you run along home? Okay, wait. And if I don’t, what? Who are you gonna do? Are you really gonna shoot me?

Killing a military hero? Bad karma. So why don’t you just do what’s best for both of us and run along home? Now I’m gonna run straight to hope and tell her exactly what happened. And why would you do that? What? Why’d he sink? You know damn well she’s in love with you, and now knowing that you’re alive.

Come on. So this would be a selfless act. Selfless, yeah. You tell hope I’m alive. This budding romance of yours is abruptly over. So you ready to lose her?

The footage is gone. I, I don’t understand it. It’s all been erased. Well, how is that possible? I don’t know. Okay. I imagine it could be a problem inside the system cost us. Who else has. To the security footage. But you think somebody did this? Yes. That it was delivered? Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. The man that left with Steve, did he say anything else?

Anything that Mike, give us a call about who he is.

A actually, yes. Now that you mention. Mr. Johnson did say something. What? What did he say? Please tell me. What did he say? Give me the list. Don’t piss me off. Okay, now. Okay, dude. Do it. Decide to give him the list. Get it. They’re getting itchy. Okay. She’s they real itchy. I think it’s in now. Hey, I think it’s in my purse.

Okay. No surprise. Okay. You go slow. Sorry. Slow. You know, since we’re here, I wanted to, um, I wanted to, uh, offer you my condolences. What the hell for you’re, um, your poor sister. She, uh, you know, she passed away a few months ago. Oh, you. Sister Mary Mara’s, your dad. Oh no, that’s a shame. Although she was a real pain in my ass.

I was sticking her nose in my business. No, not, I’m not Mar Mary Moira, your other sister, Susan. It was cute. What happened? That’s, um, it was, uh, very tragic accident. She was, Trapped in a car in it, and it, and it went over a cliff and it, uh, exploded. Oh no. Gosh, that’s just me, me, me now Sissy. She was a good girl.

You know, she didn’t deserve that. I always kind of thought maybe I wasn’t all bad because she was my sister and she was so good that maybe I had a little bit of good and a lot of bad, but just. A little bit of good. She didn’t serve that. It makes me sad. Makes me real sad. My fault says, sorry.

Hey, this Dr. So they just finished bandaging you? Yeah. Oh my. Are you okay? I’m fine. Doctor says it probably won’t even scar. I just pierced a muscle. Oh. Did they ask you how it happened? Well, he did ask if I was hopped up on biscuits, but I just told him that my friend isn’t the best dart player in the world.

He told me the police were on the way so I can make a report. Wait. You know that was an accident, right? I’m fucking dying. I’m joking. Ah, you are not funny. Sorry. It does make me wonder though, what if maybe unconsciously this isn’t some kind of retaliation on your part. Retaliation for that kiss last night, the non-consensual.

Oh yeah, that. Um, well, as annoyed as I was by it, I don’t think that it warranted a violent dart assault as long as you promise never to do it again. Well, I would cross my heart, but it’s a bit tender right now.

Even if you did have some pertinent information to share, why would you sell it off so cheaply for one measly visit with your daughter?

Maybe I didn’t make myself clear. My daughter means everything to me. And any chance I to see get it. I get it, I get it. But what your problem is is you think too small. Take a step back. Look at the big picture. The big picture. First and foremost, I went to a great deal of trouble to make sure that I was incarcerated here in states.

Now if you even suggest that I might have stretched the truth, then they are gonna ship me off to some black side in East Timbuktu, which will not exactly help you either.

So take some advice from your big sister, the two of us working together here. There is no limit to what we can accomplish. What are you talking about? You mean you want to objective numeral unal. Ever since I discovered that the rumors of a Sunday bar are greatly exaggerated here, I have no intention of staying here one minute longer than I absolutely have to,

and don’t think that I haven’t already started formulating a plan. So ask yourself, which sounds better? One measly visit with your. We’re spending the rest of your life with her outside.

Take some time to ponder on all of that before you make the biggest mistake of your life. The signs who’d believe you. Everybody knows Bo Brady is dead. How can a dead man kidnap his sister?

I have to say, being a criminal mastermind is exhausting. I need a cat now.

See you around sis.

Ah.

Shut off. Why didn’t you listen? You should have listened to. Reason come. I gonna listen if you shot off my ear. The hospital, but no, shut off. We’ll pat you off on the way to the police station. Okay. Mr. Johnson did say that the man claiming to be Director Donovan was not who he said he was. He did. He said that you just ignored it.

Hall Director Donovan was the man claiming to be the director of that. Said that Mr. Johnson was simply just trying to protect his own mo, that he was in fact the real con artist. Did Steve say anything else? Let me see. Yes, he was mumbling something as the man was escorting him out. Would I for the life of me?

I cannot remember what it was.

Okay. Well, thank you. Um, if you do happen to remember, or if anything else, Comes up, would you call me, please? Here’s my number.

I will do that.

Thank you.

Okay. Really Sure I understand this. You want me to be with hope? Yeah. Look, I am starting a whole new life without her and I’m a little sick of people trying to drag me back to that old life. Okay, so you’re just gonna let me go if what? I don’t say anything about finding you. Yeah. I mean, it’s best for both of us.

And if you think about it for hope too, she’s started a whole new life. She’s moved on with you and you guys, you, you have a good thing going. Why break her? Again, so she’s all yours. You get the girl, I get my new life without her win-win as long as you keep this little conversation of ours between us. So I’m, I’m supposed to pretend I never saw you.

Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view. That husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

Well now that my long lunch is almost turned into dinner, I should probably make an appearance to the paper. Hey, um, once I’m fully healed, any chance I can get a rematch, eyes wide open next time. Yeah. Wow. I’m surprised you would risk it. It’s a matter of honor at this point, isn. Oh, where? Fancy souvenir.

Oh my goodness. They kept the dart. Oh, we’re gonna need the full set if we’re gonna have that rematch, aren’t we? You know, I’m pretty impressed that you would be willing to come near me ever again while holding a dart. Well, you may be dangerous, Chloe. Scary, but uh, you do make up for it. And charm.

Alright, let’s have it ready. You actually came. I did to hear this supposedly explosive piece of information that you uncovered. Well, what is this big news that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem?

It turns out I was wrong. I’m sorry, what? Yeah, Megan was telling the truth. Thomas Pinks was the winner kidnapped Kayla

O. Excuse me, officer, you’re gonna want to book this man. He’s on the most wanted list. His name is Thomas Banks. Do you know him? No, but I’ve seen his picture. An uglier person. No, that’s not very nice.

Hey, any luck is a police station. Yeah, the back kind. Someone posing as Shane Donovan took Steve from the PD along with the pr. Any idea who, no. And the cop’s description was very vague and someone erased the security footage. How does that even happen? Well, I think whoever kidnapped, Steve erased it, obviously.

Uh, a real pro. And as Steve was being let out, he kept protesting, saying that this person wasn’t who he said he was. And the cop did nothing. He didn’t even question, he just slept This person, whoever he is, walk out with Steve and the prison.

What about you? Did you have any luck? Yeah, I, um, yeah, I started on the list. I, I went to Victor Kiki’s, uh, childhood Home. Oh,

Harris, did you find anything? So I’m supposed to pretend I never saw. Deceive hope and let her believe that her husband’s dead. Yeah, but the way I see it, you’re not really deceiving her. From my point of view, that husband is dead. So what do you say, commander? We got a deal.

So are we in agreement?

We are. Good man. You made the right decision.

I know. Uh, nothing at all. It was, uh, The place was deserted.

[ Jack sighing ]

[ Diane sighing ]

Jack: Sweetheart, you have no idea how good it is to see you.

Diane: Jack, thank god you’re here.

Jack: Are you okay? Is there anything I can get you?

Diane: They took my ring.

Jack: Oh, we’ll get that back, don’t worry about that. Did you sleep at all?

Diane: No, I kept on– I just kept thinking about you. How– how good it would feel to have your arms around me. Take a– take a shower, put on some clean clothes. You know, if I had known I was going to be arrested at phyllis’s memorial, I might have worn something more sensible.

Jack: I cannot imagine how hellish this has been for you.

Diane: Well, my secret is I’m just pretending it’s not happening. I keep telling myself that they’ve made a mistake and that they’ll realize I’m not a murderer and then they’ll just let me go.

Jack: As much as I want to believe that, I’m afraid it’s time to face some difficult truths.

Kyle: I woke up around three. Where’d you go? Still couldn’t sleep?

Summer: I went to check on harrison. His room is so peaceful, you know. I crawled into bed with him and before I knew it, I was out.

Kyle: Good. You needed it.

Summer: What about you? Part of the reason I left was so that I wouldn’t keep you up.

Kyle: Oh, uh, for a while, I was in that hazy place. Not quite asleep, but not awake. And the rest of the night, I was going down rabbit holes online and torn between giving you your space and checking to see if you were okay.

Summer: How could I be okay? I just keep replaying my mom’s last moments. I mean, she was lucid enough to say poison. Was she lucid enough to be afraid, to feel pain? And did she think about me or daniel?

Kyle: Summer, don’t–

Summer: What were you– what were you researching online?

Kyle: I was looking up names of criminal defense lawyers because today’s my mom’s arraignment. And we still don’t know if michael baldwin’s gonna be our guy.

Summer: Don’t you think it’s a little heartless or, I don’t know, perverse asking him to defend diane in my mom’s murder?

Noah: Summer?

Summer: Noah. Oh, my god.

[ Summer sniffling ]

Chance: You filed the criminal complaint against diane?

Christine: Bright and early?

Chance: All right. What do you need from me?

Christine: Talk me through the evidence.

Chance: Okay. Well, there is phyllis’s toxicology report and that proves there was poison in her blood. There’s a vial of poison that I found in her room and I have evidence that links diane to the purchase of that poison. Of course, there are witnesses to a threat that night, as well as a very long history of antagonistic behavior.

Christine: I just don’t want any surprises at the arraignment.

Chance: I can’t promise you that. We’re dealing with a lot of people who haven’t shown any kind of respect for the legal system.

Christine: Yeah. I talked to jack.

Chance: Oh, yeah. What’s his game plan?

Christine: They’re gonna plead not guilty and ask for bail.

Chance: I mean, any judge would have to deny that.

Christine: Yeah. With her history, his money, forget it. Flight risk.

Chance: I hope the judge sees it that way. Who did they get for a lawyer?

Christine: As far as I know, that job’s still open.

Nikki: Well, if it isn’t the man who restored my faith in attorneys.

Michael: What could I possibly have done to be worthy of that compliment?

Nikki: Ah, it’s what you didn’t do. Now, I know you have a soft spot for diane and I will never understand why, but the way you refused to rush to her rescue at phyllis’s memorial, trust me, we all got the message, loud and clear. If the best attorney in genoa city thinks she’s guilty and won’t go near her with a 10-foot pole, well…

Michael: Well, yeah. Well, have a seat, please. Nikki, our constitution assures all citizens are innocent until proven otherwise, even the ones who don’t measure up or haven’t earned your seal of approval.

Nikki: According to the constitution, yes. But the founding fathers never met diane. We know what she’s capable of. She’s dangerous and now phyllis is dead.

Michael: Correlation doesn’t equate causation.

Nikki: Your clever tone has me a little worried. Please tell me I don’t need to be.

Michael: Last night, I got a call from jack asking me to represent diane.

Nikki: Oh, my god. That is outrageous. Michael, you can’t defend the woman who killed one of your best friends. I used to pre-rinse dishes cause my old detergent

Noah: I’m so sorry that I wasn’t here.

Allie: We flew back from london as soon as we could.

Summer: Well, you’re here now and that’s all that matters.

Noah: It just– it doesn’t make sense to me. I mean, phyllis and then diane got arrested.

Summer: Yeah, she was charged with murder. They found poison in my mom’s system and they tied it back to diane.

Allie: I thought this was all an accident, right? Wasn’t there an ambulance?

Summer: No, it was murder. My mom was poisoned. It was a premeditated act at the G.C.A.C. It wasn’t some accident on a dark road.

Allie: It just– it’s so hard to believe.

Kyle: It is. There are certain things we don’t know for sure.

Summer: All of the evidence is pointing at diane. I– I– I don’t know why you would doubt it.

Allie: Murderer? I don’t know. She was so happy here with you guys, jack, harrison. Maybe there’s, um, another option that we’ve overlooked.

Kyle: That’s what I’ve been saying.

Summer: Under the right circumstances, everyone is capable of murder.

Diane: It’s so good to see your face.

Jack: I hate seeing you like this. I want to grab you and take you out of this place.

Diane: I want that too. But the arraignment’s still today, right?

Jack: Yes, but–

Diane: So, I’ll get in front of a judge, I’ll tell them I’m not guilty. They’ll set bail and I’ll get to leave.

Jack: Let’s talk about the bail.

[ Diane sighing ]

Diane: Yeah. And given my unfortunate history of disappearing, there’s– there’s the probability that I’ll be denied bail. Which means that I am stuck here until the trial begins.

Jack: No, wait, wait, don’t get ahead of yourself. Let’s take this one step at a time. Let’s talk facts.

Diane: Yeah, fact is, I don’t even have a lawyer. And– and christine is the D.A., Which means that we need someone who’s not intimidated by her. Some– some heavy hitter who just loves fighting for the underdog.

Jack: I have spoken to michael again.

Diane: No, he has already turned me down.

Jack: He’s the right man for the job. I will convince him to take your case.

Diane: Jack, I know that when you look at me, you see the woman you love, whom you believe, but when he looks at me, he sees his best friend’s nemesis. And lauren would never forgive him if he defended me. She loved phyllis. They both did.

Jack: That doesn’t matter.

Diane: Well, it matters to me. I want someone who doesn’t know about my past. Who has– who has no relationship with you. Some– someone who’s just in it for the money because everybody else wants me dead. Everybody but you and kyle. I mean, I might as well admit it, you know. Everything is stacked against me and I don’t have a chance in hell.

Jack: You have me and we will get you through this, together.

Nikki: And, you can’t take diane on as a client. You work for victor.

Jack: If a worthwhile case finds its way to my desk, I am free to do as I choose.

Nikki: The operative word there being worthwhile.

Michael: Do you really, nikki, believe that diane is a murderer?

Nikki: Yes, I do. She has despised phyllis for decades and that kind of hatred doesn’t just disappear. That’s motive. And there were witnesses, including jack that saw her threaten phyllis that night. My god, michael. I mean, I know you’re an attorney, but don’t you have any common decency?

Michael: You are cherry-picking facts to suit your narrative.

Nikki: That’s because my narrative is the right one.

Victor: What, pray tell, is this all about?

Kyle: It’s definitely one of the more complicated and stressful situations we’ve been through, but the guilty party still hasn’t been arrested. So, once stark is in a cell–

Summer: Look, I know that it hurts, kyle. You don’t want to believe that your mom could be so evil, but all of the evidence is pointing squarely at diane and the sooner you accept that, the less painful it’s gonna be.

Kyle: Good thing you’re not the judge and jury.

Summer: No, but I’m probably gonna be a witness and I’ll be sure to tell them that I heard your mom threaten to murder my mom.

Allie: You know that– that’s a lot, summer. I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I lost my dad last year and it was so incredibly painful.

Summer: I’m really sorry for your loss, allie, but I imagine it was under very different circumstances.

Noah: Hey, you know, I’m– I’m feeling a little stir crazy.

Allie: Yeah, it was such a long flight.

Noah: Yeah, yeah, it was. You know, summer, I could probably catch a second wind if you want to get out of here. Maybe grab something to eat.

Summer: I don’t know.

Noah: Come on. It’s been a long time since I’ve had some one on one with my sister. You don’t mind, do you, kyle?

Kyle: No, it’s a good idea. I’m still waiting to find out if my dad was able to retain michael baldwin for my mom’s attorney.

Summer: Seriously, still? Michael baldwin?

Noah: Hey, what do you say?

Summer: Get me out of here, now.

Kyle: Bet you’re glad you came home from your vacation early.

Allie: Oh, kyle, I’m so sorry.

Kyle: The two women I love the most in this universe cannot exist together. What am I supposed to do?

Jack: I know you don’t want to get your hopes up, but right after this, I am meeting with michael and I am not going to give up until I get him to take your case.

Diane: He won’t do it out of respect for phyllis and his wife. And I get that. And we need to respect his choices, agreed?

Jack: You’re ready to have have a stranger be in charge of your life?

Diane: No, I just want to come home, jack. I mean, this– this feels like a nightmare, but it’s my life. I mean, one minute the man of my dreams is announcing our engagement, and the next, I’m in a jail cell framed for murder, facing the rest of my life in prison.

Jack: I promise you, we will get you through this.

Diane: I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe not this time. I mean, I already– I already fought myself back from total disgrace. I tried to rebuild my life. I tried to earn the forgiveness of everybody that I care about.

[ Diane sighing ] I mean, I– I actually thought that you and I could have a life together, a future together. And I– I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Jack: Don’t say that, that’s not true.

Diane: You know, you and i were so proud that we had pulled one over on jeremy and so he did this. And now he’s got the last laugh.

Jack: We will prove that he is the guilty party.

Diane: Yeah, but what if we can’t? I mean, that’s how he operates. Somebody else always takes the fall and this time it’s me.

Jack: Do you trust me?

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Of course I do.

Jack: There is nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for you and I will not let you pay for a crime you didn’t commit.

[ Clicking ]

Diane: That means our visit’s over.

Jack: Okay. I– I’ll see you at the arraignment. Be strong, have faith, and know that every moment that passes, I am working to get you back home.

Christine: Even though we have very strong evidence against diane, I think we need to leave all of our avenues open. I wouldn’t want the other side accusing us of confirmation bias.

Chance: Yeah. Well, jack and kyle are convinced that stark killed phyllis so he could frame diane for it, so I’m looking into that.

Christine: Okay, and show me how that all connects, you know? Who and why, who benefits, what would stark’s motive be for murder?

Chance: Money? You know, he’s getting half of phyllis’s estate. I mean, that’s a hell of a payout for a couple days of wedded bliss, you know.

Christine: A vibrant, beautiful woman with friends and family marries a criminal with whom she has no romantic relationship. Not even a friendship that we know of? Why?

Chance: Well, stark said it was for protection. Yeah, phyllis was scared of diane, but knew that diane was scared of stark. So, she married him.

Christine: And I don’t buy that. Phyllis wasn’t afraid of anyone. Why would she fear diane and not stark? He was the one who was unpredictable and dangerous. Diane was just a major annoyance, not someone that would make her run for cover. Not the phyllis summers I knew.

Chance: Yeah, I didn’t buy that either. She wouldn’t run from anyone.

Christine: Could retribution be a motive?

Chance: Yeah, that is possible. I mean, you should have seen stark when he found out jack and diane framed him for stealing that necklace.

Christine: Yeah, but there was never any actual proof of that.

Chance: It didn’t matter. I mean, a guy like stark, he finds out that somebody’s trying to mess with him? Getting revenge becomes an obsession.

Christine: Okay. Show me what that would look like.

Chance: Well, he marries phyllis for the money, kills her, frames diane for the murder. He gets beaucoup bucks and he gets to watch diane go to prison.

Christine: Pay back with a little bit of payout.

Chance: Two birds, one stone.

Christine: Hm.

Nikki: Michael is about to defend the indefensible, diane.

Victor: Why in the world would you do that?

Michael: The truth is, I haven’t really–

Victor: Wait a minute. Am i not keeping you busy enough?

Michael: I enjoy my job very much.

Victor: Good.

Michael: Just as I was enjoying my coffee until a few minutes ago. Oh, well, would you look at that, my morning meeting. Nikki, thank you for the enlightening conversation. Quite edifying, but I’m sure you have a full day ahead of you.

Victor: Now jack, don’t keep him too long, all right? He’s on my payroll, okay?

Nikki: Jack.

Michael: Can I get you anything? Have you even eaten?

Jack: No appetite.

Michael: Have you seen diane?

Jack: I just left her.

Michael: How’s she holding up?

Jack: Not well. We still don’t have an attorney and I know you don’t want to hear this, but her future is in your hands. Known as a passionate artist.

Christine: Without having strong evidence tying stark to this crime, all we have are interesting theories.

[ Chance sighing ]

Chance: You want me to have another conversation with him? Bring him into the station?

Christine: Would it do any good?

Chance: He’s pretty tight-lipped. He knows how to talk to police. He’ll probably just find a way to wiggle free.

Christine: It’s worth a try. Is he still in town?

Chance: Yeah, as far as I know. I’m tracking his finances, so if he moves any cash or makes any kind of big purchase, I’ll know.

Christine: Smart. Oh, god. I mean, what are we missing? A woman like phyllis marries a criminal and then willingly gives over half her money.

Chance: Maybe he had something on her, had something she wanted. I don’t know. All I know is that I’m not getting the whole… one second. Chancellor. Yeah, what you got? Yes, that was the plan. Today? Ugh. All right. Well, then we need more boots on the ground asap. Yeah, hey, let me call you back.

Christine: That about stark?

Chance: He checked out of the graham phoenix, right after the distribution of phyllis’s assets into his account.

Christine: You’ve got to be kidding?

Chance: It gets worse. No one knows where the hell he is.

[ Christine sighing ]

Kyle: It all comes back to stark. He concocted this entire thing to get back at my mom.

Allie: Because of their time in california?

Kyle: Yeah, she turns on him for laundering money. He does time in a federal prison. While he’s away, she gives up that way of life. Comes back to genoa city. He gets released and follows her here fixated on one goal, to make my mom pay.

Allie: Okay. Yeah, I mean, that all makes sense.

Kyle: Yeah. My parents do everything they can think of to try to get him to leave town, but stark won’t go. They finally find a solution. Make it look like he’s returned to his criminal ways. They tip off the cops. Cops catch stark red-handed. Just like that, he’s back in jail.

Allie: But he’s out again?

Kyle: With an axe to grind. He needed to send my mother a message, so he took advantage of the already volatile situation. The deadly feud between phyllis and my mother.

Allie: So he killed phyllis and made it look like diane did it.

Kyle: That’s what I think.

Allie: Why not just kill diane? Now that I say that out loud, it sounds even worse than it was in my head.

Kyle: It’s okay. I’ve already thought about that. I think he thinks it’s more fun to watch my mom suffer. Phyllis was just collateral damage.

Allie: That sounds so dark. But given who jeremy stark is, I guess it’s feasible. Summer’s not buying it at all?

Kyle: No. She’s grieving her mother and she thinks my mother is to blame, so there’s no convincing her. Not much communication lately.

Allie: I am so sorry that you guys are going through this.

Kyle: The only way out is to prove my mother’s innocent and she doesn’t even have an attorney yet.

Michael: As much as I’ve come to believe that diane is being framed by jeremy stark.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, you cannot know how happy I am to hear you say those words.

Michael: But– but, there is no easy way to say this, I can’t take diane’s case.

Jack: Okay. Can– can we discuss why?

Michael: Two words. Phyllis, lauren. She was my best friend, our friend, she was your friend too and now you’re asking me to help the woman that–

Jack: You just said yourself, diane has been framed. She is defenseless, counselor. Against murder charges.

Michael: Phyllis’s spirit would haunt me until the day I die if I help diane. And lauren would be worse. All right, look, I– I need time–

Jack: Diane’s arraignment is in one hour.

Michael: So am i your last resort?

Jack: You are the only game in town as far as we’re concerned.

Nikki: Victor, you’re staring.

Victor: I want him to see me watching him.

Nikki: Do you really think he’s going to take the case?

Victor: He’s a smart man. I think he’ll do the right thing.

Michael: You do realize I work for victor?

Jack: I will do my very best not to hold that against you. Michael, I am the first person to say diane has made mistakes. That was a lifetime ago. You’ve seen yourself, she has changed. Look, she’s reunited with kyle. She has a wonderful relationship with harrison. She and I are about to plan a wedding. Why would she jeopardize all of that just to get back at an old foe? It makes no sense. And the more you dig, michael, the more this makes no sense at all. She is being punished by that son of a bitch, stark. Now, can you honestly stand by and watch her take her chances with just any lawyer? And keep this in mind, if she goes to prison, the actual killer is still on the streets, newly emboldened because he thinks he can get away with murder. I need your help, michael, please. Diane needs you. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Michael: Jack, it’s an interesting case, but I know once you find the right attorney–

Jack: I have found the right attorney. You know all the stories, all the history, all the players. I’m looking at the best. Without you, we are lost.

Sharon: Noah.

Noah: I know, I didn’t call, I’m sorry.

Sharon: Oh, my goodness. I’m so glad you’re here.

[ Sharon sighing ] Is there anything I can do?

Noah: Maybe just a quiet table for two. Couple of iced coffees.

Sharon: You got it.

Noah: Thanks.

Chance: Well.

Sharon: I, uh, I wish I had something to fix her broken heart. You know, phyllis really was a good mother and she was particularly close with summer. This is gonna be really hard on the kids.

Chance: Well, at least she has her brothers.

Noah: Dad told me about that service you put together for her. I’m sure she’d be proud of you.

Summer: Just reminded me that we really need to love the people in our lives while they’re still here. Tell them how much they mean to us and that we appreciate them because I mean, she was so loved, more than she knew, probably. I just wish that she could tell me that she forgives me, but I’m never gonna get that. I’m just gonna have to miss her like this for the rest of my life.

Victor: Hello, michael.

Nikki: I can only imagine the kind of nonsense jack was trying to feed you.

Victor: Well now, michael is a very smart man and I’m sure he would do the right thing. Right, michael?

Michael: I probably will.

Victor: You know, otherwise, you’d have to ask for a leave of absence and then I would have to approve it and then I might be inclined to fire you.

Michael: We wouldn’t want that.

Victor: We wouldn’t, would we?

Nikki: That’s what I love about you, michael. You always manage to do the right thing.

Michael: Your faith in my decency is humbling. I’ll do my best to live up to it. Have a good meal.

Victor: Have a good day, michael.

Kyle: Has michael agreed to take the case?

Jack: No, we are back to square one.

Kyle: Well, if it’s any consolation, allie’s here.

Allie: Hey, jack.

Jack: Hey, it’s great to hear your voice, sweetheart. Did you come home early?

Allie: Being at home right now is way more important.

Jack: Let me get back to you. I– I think I’m about to get some news.

Kyle: Okay, good luck.

Jack: Thanks. So, did you find us a defense attorney?

Michael: Yeah, about that. We need to talk. So, you found the no7 then…

Nikki: Your father just left. I don’t know. He said he had an errand to run. I know, victoria. I’m worried about that too. Look, I’ll be at the office soon. I will fill you in later. Okay.

Milton: Captivating. Simply captivating.

Nikki: Hello, milton. It’s been a while. How are things in accounting?

Milton: Everything is adding up. That was–

Nikki: An accounting joke. Yeah, I get it. And how’s your wife? Uh, sarah is it?

Milton: Excellent memory. We’re divorced.

Nikki: Oh, I– I’m sorry to hear that.

Milton: Don’t be. Turns out she hated my accounting jokes. But that does mean, if there was ever a chance for us, nikki, this is it.

Nikki: Now, milton, as I have told you before, it’s– it’s just not going to happen. And you can’t really talk like that anymore.

Milton: Because victor would squash me like a bug.

Nikki: There’s that, but that kind of direct proposition, it– no matter even if it is in jest, some people would be uncomfortable with that. Like when you wanted me to live with you on that tropical island.

Milton: That. Yes, I can see how wrong that would be. What we should do is buy matching motorcycles and travel across the country, playing guitars around a campfire and looking up at the stars.

Nikki: Oh. Oh, milton. Milton, darling, I don’t play guitar.

Milton: Nikki newman, you are a golden goddess.

Noah: Listen, I wish I could have been here. I wish I could have said goodbye.

Summer: I do too.

Noah: Why did you have to go and have the memorial service so fast?

Summer: I’m sorry. Noah, I’m sorry, but you got to understand that there– there– there are reasons why I had to do it the way that I did it and I– I can’t explain it all now, but it’s just– look, I promise you, you and I will do something really special to honor my mom’s memory, okay? It’s just been– trying to balance my grief over losing mom in such a horrific way with kyle’s refusal to acknowledge diane’s guilt.

Noah: Summer, summer, summer, we don’t know that for certain. Look, I– I can’t lie. I’m– I’m worried about you, okay?

Summer: I’m fine. I’m keeping busy. There is just so much that I need to do and today is just one step, but it– it– it’s an important one.

Noah: Diane’s arraignment?

Summer: Yeah. And so, um, I actually need to get going and I’m– I’m sorry to do this, but I’ll be in touch, okay? And I love you so much and I’m so glad that you’re home.

Noah: Love you too.

[ Noah sighing ]

Kyle: Uh, sorry to interrupt, sharon. Uh, summer?

Sharon: She was out on the patio, but–

Kyle: Thanks.

Noah: Yeah, I’m about to head back now. Yeah, I’ll grab you some food. Love you too.

Kyle: Where’s summer?

Noah: She just took off.

Kyle: Yeah, I tried calling, but she wouldn’t pick up.

Noah: Yeah, well, she’s got a lot on her mind right now, man.

Kyle: We both do, but we’ll get through it.

Noah: You as confident as you sound? Because I doubt it’ll be that easy?

Kyle: Of course, it’s not, but once we prove my mother’s innocent–

Noah: Then what? What, summer will just have to face facts? How exactly does that work, kyle? Because even if you have evidence, even if you can prove that stark is responsible, summer is gonna be miles away from okay. Because whether you like it or not, stark’s intentions in killing phyllis come down to the same damn thing and that’s diane, she’s the trigger. Summer’s not gonna forget that.

Diane: Michael. Are you here to see a client?

Michael: Please sit. Yes, I am indeed here to see a client. You.

Diane: Thank you.

Michael: Don’t celebrate. Don’t– don’t, please don’t celebrate quite yet. I just lost my best friend a few days ago. She was funny and fierce and I will miss her forever. And so will my wife who adored her.

Diane: I know.

Michael: You have no idea.

[ Michael sighing ] I didn’t take this case lightly, diane. You deserve a vigorous defense and I intend to give you one, but we don’t have much time. We have less time than I even thought. We have a lot of work to do. But I require– I require one thing of you.

Diane: Tell me what it is.

Michael: The truth, at all times.

Diane: You have my word, michael. Thank you so much for taking my case. I don’t know what– what made you change your mind, but I am so grateful that you did. I feel like I might have a fighting chance. I might actually go home. I’ve been telling everyone.

Chance: I mean, would it kill them to call me and tell me what the judge decided?

Sharon: I’m sure you’ll hear from christine soon. And then once you do, will you start to look into stark’s connection?

Chance: Yeah. Yeah, there’s definitely something going on there. I mean, he just disappeared. His wife’s murderer hasn’t even gone to trial yet and he disappears. I mean, he’s risking a parole violation by taking off. Why would he risk going back to jail right now? I mean, he’s gotta be running from something or to something or to someone. Sorry, if I’m boring you, I’m just thinking out loud right now.

Sharon: It’s fascinating.

Chance: Oh, come on. I’m sure ray used to go on and on about work, no?

Sharon: Hardly. Really, you’ve told me a lot more than he ever did.

Chane: Mmm. Well, I usually don’t talk about work with anybody. Never did with abby.

Sharon: Well, I’m a vault so you don’t have to worry. If you were worried that I might be serving up gcpd secrets along with my croissants.

Chance: No, I, uh, I trust you. It’s weird. Not like a– a bad weird.

Sharon: Like, weird, weird?

Chance: It’s a nice weird. You know, you’re a good listener and you’re objective.

Sharon: Thank you. I also make a pretty good cup of coffee.

[ Chance laughing ] You know, there was a time when most people wouldn’t have thought there was anything decent about me.

Chance: Oh, were you a, uh, a troublemaker?

Sharon: Now, I’m a brownie baker.

[ Both laughing ] It can happen.

Chance: You are a lot more than that, sharon, a lot more.

Michael: You know, we discussed this possibility when we went in for diane’s arraignment.

Jack: No bail. She is a danger to no one, michael.

Michael: Well, the judge agreed with christine that she was a flight risk. And we knew that bail of any amount was a long shot.

Kyle: Okay, how can we get this appealed?

Michael: That’s not gonna happen. You know what? What we have to focus on is my specialty, building a strong defense.

Kyle: Yeah, proving stark engineered this whole thing. How can we get the police or the da to investigate?

Jack: We do whatever we have to, we hire our own people. We do whatever is necessary to clear diane’s name and bring her home.

Diane: Summer. I didn’t see you at the arraignment.

Summer: I’d like to think that this is exactly where my mom would want me to be.

Diane: Well, I’m glad you’re here.

Summer: Really? I’m not sure that you should be. I’m not here because of me. I’m here for you. ‘Cause you’re probably terrified, aren’t you? You don’t know what’s gonna happen next. So, I’m gonna tell you what’s gonna happen next. You’re stuck here. You’ll be found guilty of killing my mother and you’ll spend your days imagining all of the family celebrations that you’ll miss. And the wedding that you’ll never get to plan. The grandchildren you’ll never hold again and all the pictures that you won’t be in and don’t worry about kyle, diane. He’s lived most of his life without you, remember? We’re all gonna be fine. We’ll move on, but you’re gonna be stuck behind four gray walls, tortured by thoughts of a world that doesn’t want you. And then… then, you will get exactly what you deserve for ripping my mother out of all of our lives.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Tense music]

Any luck?

Well, it’s hard to tell with all the smoke. How’d you do with roadside assistance?

They should be getting back to me momentarily.

Um, look, I’m really sorry about–

don’t be sorry, robert. It’s not your fault. Unless it is your fault.

Well, I should know better than to drive this thing around town. It prefers the open road.

I see, so not stopping and starting in city traffic. Look, I’m just going to spitball here, but you might want to consider investing in a commuter car.

Well, I thought about it. But I just can’t quite pull the trigger on that one, you know?

[Cell phone chimes]

I know. Oh, no.

What?

Roadside assistance can’t get here for another two hours. Well, there goes dinner.

Two hours?

Mm-hmm.

I could fix it myself quicker than that.

I wanna see that.

All right.

[Coughing]

[Sighs] All right. I think we’re good to go, wedding-wise.

Almost.

Almost? Oh, did something come up with my mom?

There’s something I want to talk to you about.

Sounds serious.

More like important.

Ok.

It’s about sonny.

If victor has your aunt liesl, we’re going to find her, bring her home in time to save willow, whatever it takes.

Well, I hope and pray that happens, but you’re not a magician, sonny. I found out that the “haunted star” is completely untraceable.

I actually have an update on that, one that might give you some hope.

Your former colleagues on the force have provided strong praise and support in their written statements. And your associates in the music industry have spoken quite eloquently and thoughtfully on your behalf. But the question is, was that testimony enough? After careful consideration, the committee has come to a decision.

Gregor– gregory! Are you all right?

[Groaning]

Ok, all right. I’m going to call 9-1-1.

No! No! No ambulance.

Ethan.

For the privilege of ending the life of ethan lovett, the bidding will start at $1 million.

What’s happening? Why would anyone want to kill ethan?

My son’s been keeping busy since he left port charles. Running scams on the rich and powerful is apparently his specialty.

So that’s why we’re here. He’s about to be sold for the purpose of–

killing him, yup.

That’s just brutal. That’s–

it’s starting.

And we are officially underway. We have a bid for $1 million. Do I hear 1.2 million?

[Dramatic music]


What has sonny done now?

Nothing. That I know of, at least.

He actually, uh, called me earlier.

He did?

Yeah. He said he’d be here if we needed anything, asked if I wanted to talk.

And I’m guessing you said no.

[Scoffs] I have nothing to say to him, willow. And I know you want me to forgive my–

I am not asking you that or telling you how to feel. Your relationship with sonny is your own.

Ok, then I guess I’m a little confused.

I think we should invite him to the wedding.

[Tense music]

Are you saying that they found the “haunted star”? Is my aunt liesl coming home?

No, not exactly. Trina robinson made contact from the boat. Apparently, she’s a stowaway.

Victor doesn’t know she’s on board?

No, at least not at the time that trina made contact with her mother.

Well, if trina has made contact, that means they know the location of the boat, right?

I would think so. You may want to talk to jordan.

Yeah, we will.

Apparently, trina is a pretty resourceful young woman.

Yeah, ava thinks the world of her.

So does josslyn.

Yeah. Thank you for the update, valentin.

You know, it’s been a lot of bad news. This is a good thing.

It’s been a brutal couple of days, thanks to my dear old dad.

All right, here, let me get you some water. Here.

In a minute, in a minute.

I can help you drink it. Here.

I got it. This’ll pass. I get cramps.

Is that why you fell?

No, severe muscle cramps. Ok.

Ok.

I’ll try the water.

All right.

Thank you.

Ok, when you’re ready, I’m going to take you to the hospital.

No, I said no hospital.

You said no ambulance. You just collapsed on my office floor. Somebody needs to check you out.

Why? They’re not going to tell me anything I don’t already know. Besides, what just happened is child’s play, compared to what comes next.

Harrison chase, the committee has decided to reinstate you as a detective with the port charles police department.

Effective immediately?

Commissioner ashford will be in touch with regards to timing. Congratulations.

Thank you so much. I won’t disappoint.

[Soft music]

Oh, thank god. Thank god.

Oh, I think the person I should be thanking is you.

Hey! Am I correct? Did I hear it right? I’m getting my partner back?

Yeah, that’s the word on the street.

If you ask me, it couldn’t be to a more deserving person.

Wow. I honestly didn’t know how that was all going to play out. If brook lynn wouldn’t have… where’d she go?

Payment in full is due immediately via wire.

[Laptop beeps]

[Tense music] Do I hear 2 million?

[Whispering] What are we going to do?

Quiet, I can’t think.

Maybe we can distract the guards to create a diversion.

Do I hear 2 million for the life of ethan lovett?

If only we could bid.

2 million.


can I ask you something?

Certainly. I can’t promise you’ll get an answer.

Why do you continue to work for that S.O.B.?

I always say, it’s for the money, that sonny pays me extremely well, which is true. I’ve never had a more generous retainer.

But there’s got to be more to it, right?

I will never forget my first corinthos assignment. You know, alexis had been representing sonny for years, and one day, she just up and quits. So I get a call from sonny’s accountant, who tells me that one of sonny’s associates has been arrested.

Which one?

Wait for it. So I’m down at the station, giving my standard spiel. And they bring out from the back this little man-boy, who throws his arms around me and says, “thank you, mob lawyer.”

Spinelli.

[Laughs]

I have never felt so appreciated in my entire legal career–

or so confused, or intrigued.

So sonny is nothing if not interesting.

In a word, yes.

So this explains the incident at the metro court.

[Sighs]

I’m an idiot. I’m so sorry. I misread the situation.

I knew it would happen eventually. That’s why I stopped teaching.

Did you have an episode in the class?

Not like this one. Mid-lecture, I realized I was slurring my words. Luckily, it didn’t last long. The class didn’t seem to notice, but… I panicked. What if it happened again and I wasn’t able to disguise it?

[Soft music]

So you quit.

I didn’t have a choice. I couldn’t stand the thought of being publicly incapacitated. And that was just in front of a bunch of undergrads. Imagine if it were friends and family. Imagine if it were my sons.

I can’t believe brook lynn would leave without saying goodbye.

Well, maybe she just had somewhere to be. What matters is she was there to support you.

Oh, she did more than that. She testified on my behalf.

So I heard, on top of writing a letter.

She must really believe in you.

Well, she felt so guilty with how things played out that she bent over backwards to make things right.

Well, you know what, the two aren’t mutually exclusive, but let’s not lose sight of the deal here. You made it happen, man.

I didn’t do anything.

What do you– what are you talking about? You had the door slammed in your face, repeatedly. And you’ve persevered instead of giving up. I’m grateful for that.

Just for the record, I just want you to know that I don’t hold you responsible for victor’s actions.

No, no, of course not.

Thank you. And just so you know, I hold no allegiance to my father. And I won’t sleep until he’s been put down.

All right, I’m going to make a few phone calls, see if anything new has turned up.

Ok.

I am so glad that you’re ok.

Is he treating you well?

Very.

Good. I’m glad.

Me too. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion something else is on your mind?

You.

You want my father at the wedding.

Not for me or you. This isn’t some “down the road, I think you’ll regret it” situation.

Good, because that won’t be an issue.

I know it won’T. I want sonny there for donna and avery. They are just the right age. They will love being flower girls, to wear their dresses and toss their rose petals.

What does that have to do with sonny?

For better or worse, he is a part of your family. And him being at the wedding, I don’t know, I feel like it would cement it for them.

For my sisters.

That we’re all in this together. That even though things change, we’re still very connected in this important way. I think they need that, even if we don’T.

So you think for family unity, my father should be there.

Don’t you?

We have 2 million. Do I hear 3?

[Dramatic music]

Holly, do you have that kind of money?

2.2 million. Do I hear 2.4 million?

3 million.

I hope you know what you’re doing.

3.5 million?

[Tablet beeping] We have 4 million. Do I hear– $10 million.

Damn.

Do I hear 11? 11 million? 10 million, going once, going twice. Sold. You have just bought yourself the exquisite privilege of executing ethan lovett.

Oh, goody, we won. Now what?


You are welcome to claim your prize.

And exactly how do you plan to pay $10 million?

I don’t, but just follow my lead.

[Tense music] My money manager will be in touch shortly.

No need. Simply enter the account number here. Once the transaction is complete, this man’s life will be yours to end.

You know, unlike nina, who’s never had a role in my life, and as far as I’m concerned, never will, sonny has had a role in yours. A huge one. And while it may be past tense for you, it is still very present for your sisters. So, yes, I think he should be at the wedding.

You do know he’s going to want to bring nina.

And I’m sure she’d love to come. But I’d like to believe that even nina knows she has no place at our wedding.

Well, that’s very–

naive?

I was going to say, optimistic, given nina’s history with boundaries.

I will handle nina. Don’t worry. Do you know what one of the very first things I realized about you was?

What, that I’m alarmingly good-looking?

That you are the centerpiece of your family, with loving but self-involved and wildly volatile parents. You are the one who anchors everyone, who takes care of your siblings and makes them feel safe. And now, more than ever, donna and avery need you, just like–n even though I never met him– morgan needed you.

[Soft music] Maybe it’s not fair to put all of that onto you…

well, life is rarely fair.

Fact is, every time you don’t include sonny, you are laying the seeds for donna and avery to have to choose between you and their father.

Let me know if you hear anything new. Brook lynn, how you doing?

Hey, I’m ok. You?

I’m hanging in there. You don’t have bad news, do you?

Oh, no, no, no, no, nothing like that. I’m here picking up leo from his assistive technology class.

He like it?

Oh, he loves it. The extraction is actually the hardest part, which, now that I’m thinking about it, is probably why my dad and olivia always send me. Anyway, I’m early, so it gives us a chance to catch up.

I was gonna reach out to you.

Yeah?

Yeah. I thought it was very brave, what you did at the nurses’ ball, talking down that dirt bag. I just wanted to grab that guy, just, like, just punch him in his face.

Yeah. Well, you wouldn’t have been the first, believe me. But don’t call me brave, sonny. That might be the last thing I am.

You are giving me way too much credit.

Mm-mm, no, I’m not. This isn’t the first setback you’ve had in your policing career.

Thank you for the reminder.

Well, no, that whole thing with nelle, I mean, if anyone thought you would have quit, it would have been then and there, and we would have totally understood. And then, now, you’ve got this whole music career you could have fallen back on.

Yeah, but it’s not the same. I mean, don’t get me wrong. Singing is great, and being famous-adjacent had its perks.

Famous-adjacent? Why, adjacent is something. I don’t know if it’s fair, but– but it’s not what I’m passionate about. I don’t know how else to say it. It’s like, being a cop is who I am.

I get it. It’s when you feel like you’re you.

And all the other stuff is just playing dress-up.

Well, you stuck it out, and I’m grateful.

That’s the second time you’ve said that.

Nah, I mean it, man. Good partners are hard to find. And you happen to be one of the best.

I don’t know your diagnosis. But, gregory, unless you’re in some kind of treatment, you may very well have an episode in front of your sons. Are you in treatment? Has a doctor tried to help you with your cramps?

No.

What do you mean, no?

There’s nothing they can do.

[Dramatic music]


You know, I never thought about it like that, but you’re right. Representing sonny has been interesting. And over the years, I’ve actually liked a lot of the work that I’ve done.

Helping him and his lot flaunt the justice system.

I prefer the word “navigate.” You know who was genius at it? Jason. Setting me up, so that I could actually argue the law accurately to get him off, giving me just enough room so I could slide in and do my job.

And do it very well.

Thank you, kind sir. So, yes, representing sonny has gone from, I know you’re a mobster, and I will only participate in this tiny sliver of your world, to what is a fascinating interaction. But don’t get me wrong. I know where the line is, and I will not cross it because I don’t care how interesting it is, the hill doesn’t exist on which I would risk my legal career.

[Soft music]

If donna and avery were older, it would be different. They would be able to navigate the line in the sand between you and sonny, just like dante and christina do.

But they’re kids, and they shouldn’t– they shouldn’t have to understand or make that choice.

And I know you want them in the wedding as much as I do. I love those girls. Not to mention, wiley would completely revolt if they weren’t there. Not that they wouldn’t come because of sonny.

No, I get it. It’s about setting an example for the future, and we should make it easier on them.

When we can, yeah. Sometimes that will be impossible, but in this case…

I completely agree.

You do?

Yeah, donna and avery are more important than anything going on between me and my dad, so…

I will invite sonny to the wedding.

So tell me. What’s it like?

What’s it like finding out that willow is my child? It’s shocking, valentin. It’s exhilarating. It’s life-altering. It’s– a million adjectives.

Yeah, I mean, there’s so many facets to it, it’s almost impossible to know how to react.

Well, who says you have to know? Feel what you feel when you feel it.

You make it sound really easy.

I’m fully aware it’s not. Listen, I want to apologize. I should have reached out to you.

What are you talking about? You were in hiding.

Also, I’m not sure that it’s really my place anymore.

It might be more your place than anyone else. Nobody knows as much as you do how much I want a child.

And now you have one.

Yeah, it’s so surreal, and to say that willow and i were in a bad place when we found out, well, that would be a massive understatement. But things are– they’re getting a little bit better, and I am so thankful to my aunt liesl, and not only for agreeing to be willow’s donor, but also, she’s opened some channels of communication between us. That being said, there’s still a very wide, very deep gulf for us to navigate.

I wish I could say, time heals all wounds.

Yeah. What do you do when you– you don’t have much time left?

[Dramatic music]

What am I doing, dumping all my relationship drama on you when you have so much going on?

Honestly, it feels good to talk about something else. How’s it going with chase and the review board?

They ruled in his favor. He got his badge back.

Well, that– that’s good news. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

You won’t get an argument from me there.

But originally, didn’t they say he’d lose his job for good?

They did.

What did you do? Because I can tell by that look.

I may have called in a little favor.

[Soft music]

[Laughs] You think I walk around with my account numbers?

Don’t you know who she is?

I don’t care who she is. I care about the money. The funds have to be immediately available via wire transfer. Otherwise, no sale.

This is absurd. If you can’t trust my word–

the rules of the auction were made very clear. You lose.

If she didn’t win, then who did?

Well, the next highest bidder…

[Tablet beeping] Who has just transferred the funds.

[Dramatic music] Ethan lovett is no longer yours for the taking.


But this is unacceptable. I won the auction, and no one else.

That is not how it works. You’ll be escorted off the premises, as the winner will be arriving to collect her property.

Hold on, there must be something we can do.

Welcome, señora. And might I add, congratulations. You have secured quite the prize.

Als?

Also known as lou gehrig’s disease.

[Sighs] Gregory. God. I’m so sorry.

Thank you.

Are you sure there’s nothing anybody can do? It’s neurological, right?

You know, the motor neurons degenerate and die, stop sending signals to the muscles. Eventually, your brain loses the ability to initiate and control voluntary movements.

Mm.

So there’s not–

no way to reverse the degeneration. My doctor keeps talking about supportive care, a term I find incredibly irritating. Basically, it means physical therapy, nutritional changes, meds that may or may not slow down the nerve damage. And when time comes, medications to help manage my symptoms. Time that seems to be approaching a lot faster than we thought it would.

[Soft music]

[Grunts]

God, gregory.

Eventually, I’m going to lose control of my movement. And then, I will be entirely in the care of my sons. That’s why I haven’t told them yet. I just– I want them to go about living their lives for as long as possible before they have to deal with that burden. I figure that’s the least that I can do for them now. Before they have to do everything for me.

I cannot believe it’s all over.

Yeah, it is. I really appreciate you being there for me.

Bet you can’t wait to get that badge back, huh?

Oh, big-time. But now that I know that it’s going to happen, that it’s all going to work out, I can wait. But just so we’re clear, the second the commissioner gives me the ok, I’m going to be at the precinct 24/7.

What are you talking about? You’re going to be out hunting for the “haunted star.”

If they reinstate me before they find it.

I have a feeling that won’t be a problem. Welcome back to the force, detective.

Hey. There’s hope. You and willow may have time to build a relationship after all.

From your lips. We’ve come a long way, haven’t we, valentin? From the days of you trying to make me believe that sasha was my daughter. You know, I know that was hugely misguided. But I also know that came from a place of caring. You knowing how much of my life I spent alone. How much of my life that I yearned to be a mother. You knew how big the hole was inside of me, and you saw that that was the only way to fix it.

I wanted to give you what you wanted so badly. I just didn’t know how to do it.

[Soft music]

It’s bitterly ironic.

Your father is one of the most violent, cruel men that I have ever encountered. And yet, here you are, with such a capacity to love.

It’s a pretty incredible thing. Don’t you think?

Sometimes you got to do what you got to do for the people you love.

Well, chase and I are not together.

I’m just saying, be open.

To what?

To everything, to anything. You know, life can change in a heartbeat.

[Cell phone chimes]

Oh, boy, extraction time.

Good luck.

Yeah. And then, I gotta jet home. You know, planning a wedding in 24 hours is not for the faint of heart.

Whose wedding?

Well, michael and willow’S. They’re getting married tomorrow. They decided they don’t want to wait. I’m sorry. I thought you knew.

[Dramatic music]

Thank you.

[Chuckles] Thank you.

For throwing a total wrench in our wedding plans?

No, for… reminding me what truly matters.

You would have gotten there on your own, eventually.

[Chuckles] Would I, though?

Yes. Because that’s the kind of brother you are. I get jealous sometimes.

Yeah, what for?

Your bond with your siblings. Never having brothers or sisters myself, when I see you guys together, that effortless closeness.

Mm. Well, it’s not always effortless.

For you, it is. How naturally it comes to you to love them the way that you do. It’s a gift, michael.

Yeah, well, they give it back to me tenfold.

It makes me happy to know that wiley and amelia will have that kind of bond. Promise me you’ll foster it.

[Soft music]

On one condition.

You’ll do the same.

Deal.

All right.

You think less of me now, don’t you?

Just the opposite. You’re an intelligent woman. I appreciate that. You know how to play the game. That line in the ground there, you know not to step over it. You’d have made a good spy.

I’ve always wanted to be a spy.

Actually, scratch that.

There goes the dream.

Look, you’ve got a strong personality, and you can’t disguise that. And you shouldn’t try to.

[Cell phone chimes]

Hang on. Oh, excellent. Roadside assistance is going to be another hour.

Well, fear not. I think I’ve got it. Come here.

Ok.

I want you–

yes?

To put your finger.

Yes.

There.

Right there?

Yeah.

Ok.

While I start the engine.

Ok.

All-righty. Here goes nothing.

[Engine grinding]

Oh, no! Oh, oh, oh!

[Coughs]

Give me another chance to find the money, please.

Just accept that you’ve lost and make your way home. Lovett, let’s go.

You’re not going anywhere.

Don’t touch me!

[Gasps]

Tracy!

[Dramatic music]


Tracy, what are you doing here?

Same as you, only successfully.

Are you working together?

I will just take my prize and be on my way. Thank you very much.

Seize them!

Ah!

[Dramatic music]

I’m such an idiot for saying something. I really thought that you knew.

No, I’m happy for michael and willow.

Look, if I don’t leave now, I’m going to be late, but I’m sorry, and I love you.

I love you, too.

[Dramatic music]

Diane, um–

if you say you’re sorry one more time–

you’ll what?

I don’t know.

Well, at least let me pay for the dry cleaning.

Done.

If it’s any consolation, that jersey looks pretty good on you, you know.

Does it?

Oh, yeah. And who am I kidding? Come on. You’d look great wearing a paper bag.

Well, let’s not test that theory, shall we? What? No.

What do you mean, no?

I don’t want you to kiss me like this!

[Soft music]

I should go. Thank you for listening.

Let me drive you home.

I’ll call a rideshare.

Are you sure? I want you to know, I harbor no illusions about the nature of my disease. I will need help. And I’ll ask for it when the time comes.

Anything, any time. I really wish there was something I could do, even remotely.

You already have.

[Soft music]

How do you have this?

Commissioner gave it to me when I left this morning.

She couldn’t have known how the review board would rule.

Sure she did. We all did. I mean, the reason why you got through this whole thing, it highlighted why you need to be back on the force. You’re a cop, you’re a good cop, and we need people who have a genuine desire to help people.

I don’t know what to say.

Then don’t say anything. Just clip that puppy back on there, and let’s get to work.

We’re getting married.

[Chuckles] That’s the plan, yes.

No, like, we are getting married. I’m going to be your wife!

And I can’t wait.

I know we have this crazy, scary thing looming over us, but I don’t want it to overshadow the amazing fact that we are marrying each other because we love each other. Whether we get 60 hours or 60 years, you’re my guy.

And you’re my girl. And I love you so much.

I love you too.

[Soft music]

Well, I should get back to anna.

Yeah, send her my best.

I will. Nina. What you said really means a lot to me. Thank you.

I meant every word.

Can you come with me for a second?

What, where?

Something was brought to my attention, and I want to talk to you about it in private.

[Tense music]

What is this about?

Willow.

Well, congratulations. You’ve managed to ruin, oh, everything.

[Dramatic music]

[Grunts]

[Gasps]

[Grunts]

Let’s go!

Oh! I appreciate it the save.

Oh, any time. Let’s get the hell out of here!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Sentimental music ]

Ridge: Make a wish.

[ Claps ]

Ridge: Nice job.

[ Steffy laughs ]

Steffy: Dad, you didn’t have to do all of this. This is so sweet. It’s– it’s wonderful. Maybe we can, um, put it in the kitchen or I– I can take it home, okay?

Ridge: Sure. ‘Cause you gotta go, right?

Steffy: Y– yeah. I– I just wanna get ready before finn gets home.

Ridge: Yeah. Oh, you haven’t seen the card yet?

Steffy: What card?

Ridge: Sit down. You have a second. Come on.

Steffy: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Ridge: And I– I need to press–

Steffy: Oh, no.

Ridge: I got this.

Steffy: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Ridge: That I think. Yes, right there.

[ Joyous instrumental ]

[ Steffy gasps ]

Steffy: Oh, my god. Dad, you put this together?

Ridge: Yeah. It’s all me. No, I wasn’T. I don’t know how to do that. I found the pictures and then zende did it.

Steffy: Oh, my goodness.

[ Steffy laughs ]

[ Steffy chuckling ] That is so– it’s so sweet. It really is. Thank you. But I– I–

Ridge: But you gotta– yeah. Yeah.

Steffy: I’m gonna be late. I’m gonna be late.

Ridge: So what’s the rush, really?

Steffy: Dad!

Ridge: I just thought, you know, we would spend some father-daughter time. We haven’t done that in a long time.

Steffy: What? Didn’t we just– didn’t we just do that?

Ridge: Yeah, sure. No, I just thought we’d go for a walk on the beach and some sushi. You know, that kind of stuff.

Steffy: But you knew I had plans tonight.

Ridge: Yeah.

Steffy: You did. But look, dad, this is wonderful. Like I said, this is amazing and I really loved it and it was super sweet. And I love you so much, but I gotta go.

Ridge: I love you more.

Steffy: I love you. Okay. Don’t eat all the cake. I will have some later.

Ridge: Okay.

Steffy: Love you. Thank you.

Ridge: Me more. Happy birthday.

Taylor: How did it go?

Ridge: It was– it was good. I wish you could have been here. It was, uh– it was nice. It was really nice.

Taylor: Oh, good. Good. I knew she’d love it. It was so special. And now she is–

Ridge: She’s, um, she not here with me.

Taylor: Because she is with her husband, spending her birthday with him.

Ridge: I know.

Taylor: Okay.

Ridge: Yeah.

Taylor: Okay. I mean, come on. You gotta love that steffy has finn, right?

Ridge: Yes!

Taylor: Because there’s no more heartache. There’s no more drama. It’s the complete opposite of what she had with liam. He was such a fool to let her go. And then finn came along.

Ridge: And everything was perfect. No, look, I get it. She’s gonna spend her birthday with anybody but me, then it– yeah, should be finn.

[ Taylor laughs ]

[ Knock on the door ]

Steffy: Oh, liam. Hi.

Liam: Hi.

Steffy: I thought finn forgot his key again.

Liam: No, no, no. Just me. But I– I know you have birthday plans tonight.

Steffy: I’ve– I’ve got a few minutes. Come on in.

Liam: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Liam: Okay. So, uh, not gonna stay long. I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy birthday.

Steffy: Aw. Thank you.

Liam: Also, I brought your favorite instrument of torture, mr. Quacksworth. Kelly was asking about it.

Steffy: Oh, right.

Liam: And yeah, I could pretend like that was the only reason, but it’s not. I– I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about you all day. I’ve been taking the walk down memory lane. Thinking about our life together. All the stuff we’ve been through and I just– um, we were really fortunate, weren’t we?

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Cha cha cha.

[ Laughter ]

[ Duck squeaking ]

[ Both laughing ] If you’ve had sensitivity, those zingers can really cause

Taylor: This is good.

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Taylor: You know, steffy really has lived two incredibly different lives with two incredibly different men.

Ridge: It’s amazing to me that you keep forgetting the other incredible that she had in her life.

Taylor: Oh, my god.

Ridge: It doesn’t matter. How was your breakfast with steffy?

Taylor: Hmm. It was wonderful. It was fun. It was wonder-fun. Okay. You know, I love being here for– for these celebrations. I missed out on so many.

Ridge: Don’t do that. The kids always knew that you were here in spirit, even when you were out saving people.

Taylor: I know. I know. But it still– it still hurts right here.

Ridge: I get that.

Taylor: Yeah. But can you believe that our little girl, our little steffy, she’s– she’s married. She has two kids and she runs an international fashion house.

Ridge: She co-runs it, but yeah. No, she– she’s very, very ambitious. I wonder where she gets it. I love that kid. And not just because she has achieved so much, but because… because of the person she’s become. We should take some credit for that.

Taylor: Should we?

Ridge: Nah.

Taylor: You know, steffy– steffy deserves all the joy this life has to offer. And you know what? She found it with finn. She’s probably in his arms right now, where she belongs on her birthday.

Steffy: That is so not true.

Liam: It is absolutely true. She was there first. You jumped out of the damn car to stand in the parking space.

Steffy: So, we could be first in the space. I wasn’t gonna be– I wasn’t gonna miss the first song of concert, okay? So you’re welcome. You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine.

Steffy: You’re welcome.

Liam: Fine. I’ll tell– I’ll give you this, there is nobody quite like steffy forrester.

Steffy: I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment.

Liam: Oh, it’s a compliment. Trust me. It’s a compliment. You gotta think. I mean, for a huge chunk of our lives, we were everything to each other.

Steffy: Yeah. The hell we shared. Wow.

Liam: Yeah. It’s funny. At the time, I kinda thought it would last forever.

Steffy: Yeah, me too. But we have the memories.

[“The song that never played”]

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

trying to find

the words to say

what I’ve been thinking

I spent all night

working so hard to write

but, by the time

I got it right

I looked, you were gone

well, the melody was perfect

but all the while

I was blind

without someone to listen

there’s no reason or rhyme

and now I write here alone

so you’ll finally know

how you and I became

the song that never played

Liam: Two, three.

Steffy: I’m okay.

[ Steffy gasps ]

Liam: Yeah, you’re not– you’re not going anywhere. Neither am I.

Notes on a page

have all been arranged

Steffy: Mr. And mrs. Spencer.

Liam: Finally.

Steffy: Forever.

What I’ve been thinking

Liam: Hey, you know something? Our love, it’s– it’s changed, but… it’s never going away. Happy birthday. I love you.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Ridge: She just left.

Taylor: Oh, come on, ridge. It’s her birthday.

Ridge: What? No. No. I don’t mean– kindergarten. Do you remember? She– she just left. All the other kids who were clinging onto their parents’ legs crying and… steffy just left. Just turned, walked into that room and never looked back.

Taylor: Yeah. Well, you knew that was coming because she stood up and started running before she could walk.

Ridge: Our beautiful, independent daughter.

Steffy: How is

everybody feeling?

[ Crowd cheers ]

Taylor: Our wild child.

[ Ridge grunts ] You know, as– as parents, we just want our kids to be safe and happy. She found that with finn.

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. Finn?

Finn: Kelly and hayes are already out for the evening. They already wished you a happy birthday. Now, it’s my turn.

Steffy: You did not have to do all of this.

Finn: What? Ah, you wanted a quiet dinner at home. And if I’ve learned anything being your husband, it’s how to take orders.

Steffy: Hey!

[ Finn laughs ] Our lobster rolls from our favorite restaurant? Favorite pinot grigio. Talk about a celebration, baby.

Finn: Oh, well, we have a lot to celebrate and give thanks for. We made it through some insane challenges that– that would break most people, but, uh, not you.

Steffy: Close. But thankfully, you’re still here.

Finn: Yeah. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to express just how grateful I am that you appeared and came into my life and changed it the way you did. I mean, before I met you, I was committed to my work. I– I had no idea what I was missing. Now, I have this brilliant, beautiful wife who always keeps me on my toes.

[ Steffy laughs ] This wonderful, growing family. You taught me balance, fulfillment. Can’t imagine my life any other way. I love you.

Steffy: I love you. Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Steffy: We are so lucky. Our love, we skirted death. We danced with the devil. We went halfway around the world. This birthday means more to me just… just because I have you here. You know, you… you saved me when we met. You gave me a second chance at life, love, family. And I couldn’t be more happier and more grateful with what we built.

Finn: I got you a gift.

Steffy: I am looking right at my gift. You. You’re here. You’re home. My incredible husband. Amazing father. So happy you’re here. Especially after everything. Things I’ll never forget.

God, finn, can you hear me,

please? Please, finn. Finn. Took off to monaco. I– I thought you were gone.

Finn: But I wasn’T. And I knew she wasn’T.

Sheila: I am taking care

of you.

Finn: No. I wanna see

my wife. I had to get out of there. Make it free and come find you… in monaco. I looked everywhere for you. I looked and I looked.

[ Church bell ringing ] And then…

steffy!

It’s me! It’s me!

I found you.

Steffy, it’s me.

It’s really me.

[ Steffy sobbing ]

Honey, I’m alive.

[ Church bells ringing ]

Steffy: Gosh, we heard the bells. That’s when I saw you. I found you. Oh, I couldn’t be more grateful for that moment.

Finn: Yeah. About the present?

Steffy: Baby, forget about the present. I– I wanna be–

Finn: Just… please open it.

Steffy: Okay. What is this?

Finn: Yeah. Press– press the button.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Church bell ringing ] Oh, my goodness. You got the bells? Are you kidding?

Finn: I had an italian craftsman– yeah, I installed them in the tower.

Steffy: Oh, my god! Thank you. Oh, my gosh, finn. I can’t believe this.

Finn: Well.

[“Reverie”]

Almost too good to be real

’cause this is how love

used to feel

and I think most every

moment with you is reverie

every moment with you

is reverie

Finn: Happy birthday.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Chloe sits outside the Brady Pub with a breakfast biscuit from the Bakery but Xander arrives and smacks it out of her hand, asking what the hell she is thinking and tells her that she can’t eat that.

Brady asks Kristen what is so damn important that she has to tell him. Kristen responds that it actually has to do with her long lost sister Megan Hathaway and her latest partner in crime.

Chad and Stephanie are confronted at the warehouse in Greece by Thomas Banks, who pulls a gun on them and questions what they are doing there. Stephanie responds that they came to find out what he did with Kayla.

Hope asks the cop at the Greece police department if he’s sure that Shane Donovan is not the man who took Steve in to custody. He confirms that it is not and that he had no way of knowing it wasn’t Shane since he showed him his badge and said he wanted to see the evidence from Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop adds that he knows it’s under investigation, so he gave the man the prisms which Hope questions. Hope asks if the man then just walked out of here which the cop confirms. Hope shows another photo and asks if this is the man who was posing as Shane Donovan.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face. Harris says this can’t be and questions if he is Hope’s late husband. Bo claims not to know what he’s talking about but Harris stops him and says he knows it’s him because he’s seen a lot of pictures. Harris identifies him as Bo Brady.

Chloe asks what the hell is wrong with Xander. Xander repeats that she can’t eat the breakfast biscuit and calls her crazy. Chloe argues that she just bought it this morning and was waiting all day to eat it while running errands and now he ruined it. Xander warns that unless she wants her next errand to be going to the hospital, she will leave those biscuits alone which Chloe questions. Xander realizes she hasn’t heard the news and informs her that someone dosed those biscuits with hallucinogens and are seeing pink elephants or worse. Chloe can’t believe she almost ate that. Xander says it’s good he came by when he did. Chloe asks if they know who laced the biscuits with drugs. Xander says they are still investigating as Chloe calls it a truly evil thing to do. Xander remarks that whoever did it is clearly dangerous. Chloe guesses she can get bagels from the coffee cart but Xander offers to treat her to lunch. Chloe jokes that she must be hallucinating. Xander says he’s a working man now so he can afford it but tells her not to let it get around.

Brady asks Kristen what about Megan Hathaway. Kristen informs him that Megan is now a fellow guest in Statesville and they just started talking to get to know each other better. Brady doesn’t care and asks why this is of utmost importance. Kristen explains that Megan gave her some details on how she avoided being locked up in an ISA prison. Brady responds that he already knows that Megan told the ISA that it was Thomas Banks who kidnapped her mother. Kristen states that she’s not so sure it was him.

Bo tells Harris that he’s heard about him too. Harris questions Bo knowing who he is. Bo reveals they have a mutual acquaintance in Megan Hathaway, who is extremely proud of how she orchestrated the descent of Harris. Bo recalls Megan saying Harris was a navy seal turned in to a simple hired gun and mentions Hope.

Hope tells the cop that she has reason to believe Thomas Banks is involved in all of this but the cop assures it was not him. Hope asks the cop to describe the man to her in detail then.

Xander and Chloe have lunch in the Brady Pub. Xander jokes that this is better than a crusty old breakfast biscuit. Chloe says the chowder is delicious and thanks him. Xander brings up that they are back where Chloe bested him at darts so he wants a rematch. Chloe talks about researching dart techniques and asks if he’s sure he’d like a rematch.

Thomas Banks tells Stephanie to be more specific because she knows a lot of mothers. Chad questions Thomas playing a game. Stephanie tells Thomas that the woman kidnapped is her mother, Kayla Johnson, and demands he tell them where he took her. Thomas responds that he’s sorry to disappoint but they got the wrong dude.

Brady questions Kristen saying she doesn’t think it was Thomas Banks that kidnapped Kayla. Kristen responds that based on what Megan was saying, she thinks it’s possible it could be someone else. Kristen flashes back to asking Megan if Bo Brady is alive. Kristen tells Brady that she will tell him when he brings Rachel to see her. Brady questions if that’s what this is all about and says he should’ve known. Kristen argues that he can’t blame her for using this information to her advantage. Brady argues that he’s never had a reason to trust her. Kristen insists that he’s really going to want to hear this and so will everyone in Salem because this news is so explosive that it will change a lot of peoples’ lives. Brady responds that he’ll think about it and hangs up.

The cop doesn’t know how helpful his description will be and says their sketch artist is working in another town. Hope asks him for anything and asks if the man had any distinctive features. He calls him a pretty average looking guy, middle-aged with brown hair, brown eyes, and a medium build. He asks if that sounds like anyone she knows.

Harris says if Bo heard about him from Megan, maybe she had something to do with bringing Bo back. Harris recalls someone else being in the lab in the cryogenic tube but he never knew it was, but what Megan wanted most was the three prisms and that’s why she programmed him. Harris adds that she never told him what the prisms were for but he knows they could be used for medical miracles and now it all makes sense. Harris states that Megan wanted to use the prisms to revive somebody she loved and that was Bo.

Chloe and Xander play darts. Chloe gets another bullseye and Xander can’t believe it. Chloe jokes with him and decides she’ll give him a handicap by throwing the next one with her eyes closed. Chloe does so, but ends up accidentally hitting Xander with the dart.

Chad informs Thomas Banks that his boss Megan already told them that he kidnapped Kayla. Thomas responds that no one is the boss of him and he’s an independent contractor. Thomas reveals that he followed them and calls it no coincidence that they are all here. Thomas says that he saw them in the hotel lobby and knew they would take him to where he needed to be. Thomas says to give him the list. Chad claims to not know anything about a list while Thomas asks who is playing games now. Thomas says he saw them talking about all the places where Kayla could be and demands the list now while holding them at gunpoint.

Hope tells the cop that she saw dozens of men that fit his description as he described half the population of Greece. The cop repeats that their sketch artist is working in another town but he can call him. Hope asks for the security camera footage so the cop pulls up the file.

Bo comments on the narrative Harris strung together. Harris explains that he actually heard it from Hope, who told him how obsessed Megan was with Bo. Bo responds that those feelings were not mutual and one of the many reasons that he left the island. Harris asks if Bo brought Kayla with him. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris points out that Kayla is his sister. Bo responds that the rumor he heard is that some character named Banks kidnapped Kayla. Harris questions Bo not seeming to care about his sister. Bo says that Kayla is tough and knows how to take care of herself. Harris questions Bo and Kayla both being on the island at the same time and coincidentally leaving the island around that time but not being together. Bo claims he didn’t even know Kayla was on the island or why Megan brought her there. Bo declares that he was just fed up with Megan’s games so he took off as fast as he could alone. Harris says he understands but he came all this way to find Kayla and if Bo has nothing to hide, he asks to take a look around but Bo stops him and pulls his gun on him.

Chloe panics about hitting Xander with the dart and asks if he’s okay. Chloe worries about pulling the dart out of his chest and questions what to do. Xander guesses they are heading to the hospital after all.

Megan returns to the visiting room and tells Kristen that she’s all settled in after having to evict her cellmate from the bottom bunk. Kristen jokes about Megan making friends. Megan asks her how Brady is. Kristen asks what she means. Megan reveals that she overheard Kristen’s chat just now. Kristen tries to explain while Megan says she was thinking that they were beginning a new sisterhood but as soon as she turned her back, Kristen is talking to Brady about her and Bo Brady being alive. Kristen apologizes for betraying some sisterly confidence but admits the only thing that matters to her is her daughter, so she will play any card she has to get a chance to see her. Megan says she understands but the problem is, Kristen is not holding any cards as she never said Bo Brady was alive.

Bo tells Harris that it was nice meeting him but they are done here and tells him to run along home. Harris asks if Bo is really going to shoot him if he doesn’t. Bo remarks that killing a military hero would be bad karma and tells Harris to just run along home. Harris threatens to go tell Hope what happened. Bo asks why he would do that. Harris argues that Bo knows damn well that Hope is in love with him and now she could know he’s alive. Bo questions this being a selfless act since telling Hope that he’s alive will end their budding romance. Bo asks if Harris is ready to lose Hope.

Hope and the cop find that the security footage is all gone and been erased. Hope questions who else had access to the security footage and thinks someone did it deliberately. Hope asks more about the man who left with Steve in hopes of finding a clue of who he is. The cop recalls that Steve did say something. Hope asks him to please tell her what he said.

Thomas Banks demands the list and warns them not to piss him off. Chad tells Stephanie to do what he says. Stephanie says the list is in her purse. Chad tells Thomas that he wanted to offer his condolences on his sister passing away a few months ago. Thomas thinks he means Sister Mary Moira but Chad clarifies that he means his other sister Susan. Thomas questions what happened. Chad calls it a very tragic car accident that exploded over a cliff. Thomas calls that mean and says Susan was a good girl who didn’t deserve that. Thomas says he always thought he wasn’t all bad because Susan was his sister. Thomas admits that makes him sad and starts to get emotional so Chad offers a napkin but then throws it in his face and grabs him. They struggle over the gun until it goes off.

Chloe checks on Xander in the hospital after the doctor finishes bandaging him up. Xander tells her that he’s fine and just pierced a muscle. Xander jokes about her not being the best dart player. Xander wonders if this is some kind of retaliation for when he kissed her last night. Chloe admits she was annoyed by that but doesn’t think it called for a violent retaliation as long as he promises to never do it again.

Megan questions why Kristen would sell any information she did have so cheaply for one visit with her daughter. Kristen repeats that her daughter means everything to her. Megan gets it but argues that Kristen thinks too small. Megan advises Kristen to look at the big picture. Megan talks about going through a great deal of trouble to make sure she was incarcerated here. Megan warns that if Kristen even suggests that she stretched the truth, they will ship her to some black site which won’t help her either. Megan encourages that there’s no limit to what they can accomplish here if they work together. Megan tells Kristen that she has no intention of staying here one minute longer than she has to and she’s already started formulating a plan. Megan asks Kristen what sounds better; one measly visit with her daughter or spending the rest of her life with her daughter outside? Megan tells Kristen to ponder over that before making the biggest mistake of her life. Megan asks who would believe Kristen anyway when everybody knows Bo Brady is dead, so she asks how could a dead man kidnap his sister. Megan remarks that being a criminal mastermind is exhausting so she needs a nap. Megan tells Kristen that she will see her around and heads back to her cell.

Thomas screams in pain as he is shot in the ear and Chad takes the gun, shouting that he should’ve listened to reason. Chad tells Thomas that they will patch him up on the way to the police station.

The cop reveals to Hope that Steve said the man claiming to be Shane Donovan was not who he said he was. Hope questions him ignoring that. The cop explains that the man had said Steve was the actual con artist. Hope asks if Steve said anything else. The cop remembers Steve mumbling something as he was dragged out but he can’t remember what it was. Hope thanks him and says to call her if he remembers anything else. Hope leaves her number and then exits the station.

Harris tells Bo that he’s not sure he understands this, questioning Bo wanting him to be with Hope. Bo explains that he’s starting a whole new life without Hope and he’s sick of people trying to drag him back to that whole life. Harris asks if he’s just going to let him go if he doesn’t say anything about finding him. Bo insists that it’s best for both of them and for Hope too since she started a whole new life and moved on with Harris. Bo says they have a good thing going so he asks why break her heart again. Bo tells Harris that Hope is all his, so Harris gets the girl and Bo gets his new life as long as he keeps this conversation between them. Harris questions pretending he never saw him, deceiving Hope, and letting her believe that her husband is dead. Bo argues that he’s not really deceiving her since from his point of view, that husband is dead. Bo asks Harris if they have a deal.

Xander tells Chloe that he should probably make an appearance at the paper and jokes about wanting another rematch when he’s healed. Chloe is impressed that he’d be willing to come near her ever again with a dart. Xander jokes that she may be dangerous and scary, but she makes up for it in charm.

Brady goes to the prison which surprises Kristen. Brady says he came to see this supposedly explosive piece of information that she uncovered. Brady asks what the big news is that’s going to change everybody’s lives in Salem. Kristen claims that it turns out she was wrong and that Megan was telling the truth that Thomas Banks was the one who kidnapped Kayla. Megan listens from outside the room and smiles.

Chad and Stephanie bring Thomas Banks to the police department in Greece. Chad tells the cop that he’s going to want to book him as he’s on the most wanted list. The cop recognizes Thomas from seeing his picture earlier and calls him even uglier in person which Thomas calls not nice.

Harris returns to his room where Hope shows up at his door. Harris asks if she had any luck at the police station. Hope says only the bad kind as someone posed as Shane Donovan and took Steve and the prisms. Harris asks if there’s any idea who. Hope says no as the description was vague and someone erased the security footage. Harris questions how that even happens. Hope thinks whoever kidnapped Steve erased it and was a real pro. Hope complains about the cop not even questioning the man and just letting him walk out with Steve and the prisms. Hope asks if Harris had any luck. Harris responds that he started on the list and went to Victor Kiriakis’ childhood home. Hope asks if he found anything. Harris thinks back to his conversation with Bo where they agreed on the deal to not tell Hope about him. Harris then lies to Hope and tells her that he found nothing at all and the place was deserted.

Update written by Joseph

Marlena returns to her office at the hospital. She sits at her desk and declares she’s back in business. Alex then arrives and asks if she has a minute. Marlena calls it a nice surprise and invites him in.

Kristen calls Brady from prison, but he does not accept the call. Kristen screams in frustration until she is greeted by new prisoner, her half sister, Megan Hathaway.

Hope goes to see Harris and tells him that no one saw Steve come in, so now she’s starting to worry that something has happened to him.

Steve pounds on the door of the wine cellar while screaming for Bo to open the door. Kayla tells Steve that Bo won’t suddenly come to his senses and let them out. Steve declares that they will have to find themselves out of here.

Chad and Stephanie arrive in Greece. Stephanie calls Steve and leaves a message, saying she’s starting to worry because she hasn’t heard from him so she hopes to hear from him soon. Stephanie tells Chad that it’s been two days and worries about something happening to her father too. Chad tells her that she can’t think that way and they are here now, so they will find him.

Bo has Steve’s phone and listens to Stephanie’s message on his voicemail.

John comes home with flowers for Marlena. Brady informs John that Marlena isn’t home. John knows that Marlena went back to work but he thinks it’s a little bit soon. Brady points out that Marlena has been seeing patients on the couch ever since she returned, so he thinks she’s ready which John agrees with. Brady brings up Marlena hypnotizing Stephanie and Stephanie remembering Kayla saying something about Victor. Brady questions what that is all about. John explains that Victor is out of town but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and he said he knew nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping. John adds that Maggie gave a list of Victor’s properties in Greece so Chad and Stephanie flew there to check them out. Brady asks if John thinks Victor is telling the truth. John says he’d like to think so, but he’s been wrong about him before. Brady hopes Chad and Stephanie are not walking in to some kind of trap. John says he’d feel a lot better if Steve hadn’t gone off the grid but they have no idea where he is. John would love to be on the search but he can’t bring himself to be away from Marlena so soon after getting her back.

Marlena tells Alex that they haven’t formally met. Alex tells her it’s great having her back as he knows how much she means to so many people. Marlena feels lucky to be back with the people she loves. Alex hopes it’s not a bad time. Marlena says she’s not seeing patients today and was just catching up on paper work but she invites him to have a seat and asks what she can do for him. Alex brings up Stephanie being in Greece, looking for her mom who is alive. Alex wondered if Marlena had any news about her since she is so close to the situation. Marlena says she hasn’t heard anything new. Marlena asks if Alex knew Kayla. Alex says not really, but he hopes to God they find her because that could mean his redemption.

Hope complains about calling and texting but then she gets a text from Steve’s phone, that says sorry for not being in touch and that Stephanie arrived in Greece, so he’s trying to calm her down. Harris says that’s one problem solved while Hope is relieved that Steve is okay.

Bo turns off Steve’s phone after sending the text.

Kristen and Megan meet one another which each calling the other infamous. Megan remarks that despite different last names, they are undeniably family. Kristen comments on Megan being dead ten years before she ever came to Salem. Megan credits a cryogenic chamber. Kristen mentions hearing that she was apprehended on an island off Greece. Megan comments that news travels fast. Kristen questions what she’s doing in Salem. Megan explains that she cut a deal with the ISA so that she could be incarcerated here. Kristen questions why the ISA would even consider giving her a deal after everything she has done. Megan responds that they were desperate to find Kayla and she told the feds that her former associate, Thomas Banks, was the one who took her. Kristen calls Thomas a disgusting little creep and brings up Thomas masquerading as her before.

Chad and Stephanie talk about going through Victor’s properties and hopefully find Kayla. They take their bags to their hotel room as someone watches them.

Alex explains to Marlena that he had no idea that Kayla was dying when he turned Stephanie’s phone off and he just wanted quality time with his girl, but he knows that it was his fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother and she had every right to be, but that’s why they broke up and now she’s with Chad. Alex says when he heard about Kayla being alive, he realized that maybe he didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all. Alex knows they still have to find her or else he will live with this guilty conscience forever.

Hope sends a text back to Steve’s phone that they will continue to look for Thomas today and keep him updated. Hope says it’s too bad they didn’t accomplish much last night but Harris points out that they did have fun, especially with their dance. Harris and Hope kiss until there’s a knock at the door. Harris goes to get dressed while Hope answers the door to see Chad and Stephanie.

Kristen questions Megan as to why Thomas Banks would kidnap Kayla. Kristen then asks if she ordered it. Megan asks why she would do that when Kayla is of no use to her now. Kristen asks what Megan was planning to do with her with Dr. Rolf. Megan explains that Kayla, Marlena, and Kate were going to be Dr. Rolf’s human guinea pigs and it would’ve been a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity. Kristen guesses she was mostly interested in what it would do for her. Kristen asks why Kate had to bite the bullet and not Marlena. Megan says it was not her choice and that one of her employees went a bit rogue. Kristen says it had to have been Thomas since they didn’t find anyone else on the island but Dr. Rolf. Megan questions where she gets all this information. Kristen responds that she’s aware of everything that concerns her family. Kristen says that Megan threw Thomas under the bus and that’s a major breach of DiMera loyalty. Megan explains that she had to give the ISA a name and they knew that Thomas had been one of her hired guns. Kristen questions why she lied and for whom. Kristen asks if Thomas didn’t take Kayla, who did?

Bo returns to the wine cellar, mentioning that his gun is just an insurance policy. Kayla questions where he was. Bo claims he was fishing and he made them some stew. Kayla complains about him holding them hostage. Bo says they had to eat. Kayla asks why Steve is here. Bo says he got in his way. Steve brings up Hope and asks why he doesn’t want to see her. Bo recalls that Hope hated and misunderstood why he grew to love and admire his father, so there’s no reason to have Hope in his life. Steve calls that a lie and says Hope understands him too well, so he’s afraid that she will break through to him which scares the hell out of him. Bo decides that’s enough talk. Bo argues that Kayla said she would get information off the prisms. Kayla clarifies that she thought that. Bo warns that the clock is ticking. Bo reveals that Stephanie has found her way to Greece which shocks Steve. Bo says it’s only a matter of time before Stephanie or Hope find out that they are missing. Bo warns about either of them getting in his way. Steve then grabs Bo and they struggle over his gun while Kayla tries to intervene.

Brady asks how John could say it’s irrational as he understands John wants Marlena by his side every second because she’s the love of his life. Brady says everyone is happy for John and adds that he’s envious of him. Brady mentions his relationship with Chloe. John knows the pain of when things go wrong and that Marlena told him it’s rough right now with Chloe and Rachel. Brady says that what makes him so infuriated is that Kristen manipulated the whole situation to her advantage and succeeded at making Rachel hate Chloe, so he has no clue how to fix it.

Megan says she never denied that Thomas took Kayla. Kristen points out that she never confirmed it either and asks why she doesn’t just tell her the truth. Megan questions why she would, pointing out that she doesn’t know her. Kristen brings up sisterly bonding. Megan talks about never having a sister. Kristen says the same but notes that she has so many brothers. Megan says she doesn’t know them either. Kristen calls it obvious that Megan hasn’t talked to anyone in decades other than misfits, hostages, and dead people. Kristen encourages Megan to confide in someone normal, that she’s related to. Kristen jokes that they can be sisters in crime. Megan admits that they have one thing in common; a desire to get out of prison. Kristen suggests she scratch her back and Megan scratch hers.

Marlena says that Alex’s urgency to find news about Kayla seems to be about more than his guilty conscience. Alex says of course he wants Kayla to be alive, mentioning that she’s a respected doctor and so many people love her, just like Marlena. Marlena questions if he came all the way over just to say what a wonderful doctor she and Kayla are. Alex doesn’t know what she’s getting at. Marlena feels that Stephanie broke up with him because she felt that he had cost her the last moment she would have had with her mother and now that her mother is alive, she wonders if Alex is thinking he has a second chance with Stephanie.

Hope invites Chad and Stephanie in, asking where Steve is. Stephanie responds that they don’t know. Chad says they went to his room and he wasn’t there. Hope introduces Chad and Stephanie to Harris Michaels. Stephanie responds that she knows who Harris is and brings up how he delivered pizzas to them in Seattle when one of them blew up in her face. Harris apologizes and says he can’t tell her how much he regrets his actions during that time. Stephanie mentions ending up in the hospital but recovering quickly. Harris hopes she can accept his apology. Stephanie understands that he wasn’t himself and that Steve went through something similar awhile back, so she accepts his apology, especially because he’s helping look for her mom. Harris is grateful for her understanding. Stephanie states that now she’s worried about her dad. Hope mentions that Steve just texted them that he was with her. Stephanie argues that he isn’t and they haven’t heard from him since before they left Salem. Stephanie worries that Steve is in trouble.

Bo fights off Steve and warns him not to pull that crap again. Steve dares Bo to pull the trigger and argues that he’s had plenty of chances to kill him but hasn’t done it yet. Bo warns that it can be arranged. Steve yells at Bo to pull the trigger, so he does.

Alex thanks Marlena and wants to pay her for a session. Marlena says no but Alex says she deserves to be compensated for helping him. Marlena says it just feels good to be working. Marlena then points out that Alex didn’t answer her question. Alex guesses he hasn’t thought much about getting back with Stephanie, maybe because he may seem confident, Stephanie was the only woman that he truly loved and being rejected by her was really painful. Alex guesses maybe he’s just afraid of getting hurt again. Marlena understands he’s feeling vulnerable because he has very deep feelings for Stephanie which he admits. Alex guesses this discussion is just bringing his subconscious thoughts to the surface. Marlena says that’s how therapy works. Alex realizes that part of him is hoping that if they do find Kayla, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened and they could be together again.

Hope tries calling Steve but it goes straight to voicemail. Hope worries that it’s possible that someone else has Steve’s phone. Stephanie worries that he’s not okay. Chad asks when they last saw him. Harris says they split up yesterday and Steve went to the police station to look at Dr. Rolf’s belongings for any clues on where Kayla is. Hope notes that they haven’t seen him since then. Harris decides they should go to the police station as right now, it’s the only lead they have. Chad stops him and says it’s not the only lead.

Bo pulled the trigger and shot a bottle of wine. Bo blames Steve for making him do that and wasting a bottle but Kayla argues that this is on Bo because he’s trying to be someone that he’s not. Bo responds that he’s not Shawn’s son who never fit in and remarks that he was never a Brady. Kayla argues that he was and still is. Steve adds that if Bo thinks it’s better to be a Kiriakis, he’s a fool. Bo asks if Steve keeps pushing him because he doesn’t think he’s capable of killing. Bo then brings up that he put a bullet in Kate. Kayla shouts that Bo doesn’t need to do any of this and what he’s thinking and feeling is because of what Megan did to him. Steve adds that Megan has been captured and is in prison as they speak. Steve questions if Bo is going to let Megan control him from an ocean away.

Megan says if they are sharing secrets, she wants Kristen to start. Kristen decides that if Megan doesn’t want to tell her who has Kayla, she will figure it out on her own. Kristen questions Megan just giving up Thomas Banks and argues that whoever took Kayla is someone she is protecting and someone she cares about. Kristen states that as she knows, Megan never cared about anyone in her entire life other than maybe Stefano and Bo but they are both dead. Megan remarks on Bo dying of a brain tumor, just like she was dead before they dumped her in a hot tub and fried to her a crisp, yet here she sits before her. Kristen asks if Megan is saying that Bo Brady is alive.

Chad shows Harris the list of Victor’s properties in Greece. Stephanie points out that they don’t know if Kayla is actually in any of those properties while Chad encourages her to stay positive as they just have to start looking. Harris suggests they split up. Hope agrees and decides she will go to the police station since she’s been working with the ISA, so they will talk to her. Hope tells Stephanie and Chad to stick together. Chad splits the list of properties and hands one to Harris as he and Stephanie exit together. Harris advises Hope to be careful too. Hope responds that she’s going to the police station, the safest place in town, but Harris points out that Steve possibly disappeared from there. Hope says that’s what she is going to find out. Hope thanks Harris for helping her family. Harris responds that she gave him his life back, so he just hopes that he can return the favor as they then exit.

Alex tells Marlena that he always mocked the whole getting in touch with your feelings thing, but admits it’s really helping which Marlena is glad to hear. Alex asks if she thinks he needs therapy. Marlena responds that therapy is what she does, so she thinks everybody can be helped in therapy. Alex says he’s always thought he doesn’t need it as talking about his feelings and emotions is not really his vibe. Marlena asks if he’s changed his mind. Alex admits this did help a lot right now, but it didn’t change his mind as he doesn’t think he wants to continue. Alex declares that he’s fine. Marlena says if he does change his mind again, he can call her and hands him her card. Alex thanks her and says he appreciates that. Alex adds that it was great meeting the famous Dr. Evans as he then exits her office.

Brady tells John that Marlena said she would keep working with Rachel as far as talking things through. Brady adds that Marlena is really the only mother figure that Rachel has right now. John says they really adore her and asks if he’s taken Rachel to see Kristen lately. Brady says no and that Rachel’s only time seeing her lately was her solo trip to the prison. Brady admits that Kristen’s been hounding him but he doesn’t want Kristen poisoning Rachel’s mind any further. Brady mentions that he just declined Kristen’s call a little while ago. John questions him thinking it’s okay to freeze her out. John warns that if Rachel thinks he’s keeping her from seeing her mother, she’s going to dig in even more. John says as much as they wish it wasn’t true, in this case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter that he’s not sure can be broken.

Megan tells Kristen that they may be sisters but it does take time to trust someone. Kristen questions what she is getting at. Megan responds that she’s just not quite ready to play true confessions. Megan decides it’s time to get settled in to her new home because it looks like she’s going to be here for awhile, theoretically at least. Megan then leaves the visiting area.

Bo declares that no one controls him and that Megan just opened him up to who he really is. Kayla argues that this is not him. Bo asks what he has to show for the pansy that she says he was. Steve and Kayla bring up Bo’s children and grandchildren. Steve reveals that Ciara is pregnant so Bo has another grandchild on the way. Kayla calls that wonderful news and a blessing. Bo says that makes what he’s doing that much more important because he’s going to build an empire like his father. Steve argues that his kids want him, not some Kiriakis wanna be. Kayla repeats that what the Bradys lacked in wealth, they made up for with how much they loved each other. Kayla tells Bo that is more valuable than numbers in a bank. Bo complains that they are wasting his time as this is happening whether they like it or not. Bo tells Kayla to get back to work. Kayla argues that she needs equipment and supplies. Bo accuses her of stalling. Kayla insists that she needs a lab. Bo reluctantly agrees to get what she needs and exits the cellar.

Stephanie warns Chad that this could be dangerous. Chad says they knew that when they came. Stephanie doesn’t think she should be dragging him in to this when he has kids to worry about. Chad assures that nothing is stopping him and he’s not letting her do this alone. Chad declares they will be fine as they have each other. They exit the hotel as someone remains watching them.

John goes to Marlena’s office and brings her flowers. John asks how her first day back is. Marlena responds that it’s been pretty busy. Marlena then gets a call from Alex, who decides he would like to make an appointment.

Brady gets another call from prison and this time he reluctantly accepts. Brady answers and asks what Kristen wants. Kristen says she wants to relay something to him of the utmost importance.

Steve asks Kayla if she’s okay. Kayla says she’s not and complains that Bo could have shot Steve, so she questions why he baited him like that. Steve says he was proving a point. Steve says that Bo didn’t shoot him and won’t. Kayla worries that he could have and now Stephanie is here. Steve argues that if Bo couldn’t hurt him, he won’t hurt his own niece, and declares that Bo is not as dangerous as he pretends to be. Steve tells Kayla that Hope and Harris have to be wondering where he is now, so Hope is going to follow the bread crumbs and they are going to find them.

Chad and Stephanie go to a warehouse which Chad notes is huge with a lot of place for someone to be sulking around. They are then startled by a noise behind them.

Hope goes to the Greek police station and introduces herself as from the ISA. Hope informs the cop that she’s looking for a colleague who was there yesterday named Steve Johnson. The cop says it doesn’t sound familiar and asks for a description. Hope then shows him a photo of Steve which the cop recognizes and tells her that the Director of the ISA said he was an impostor and took him in to custody. Hope questions that and shows him a picture of Shane Donovan but the cop says that’s not him. Hope says that’s Shane, so she questions who is the man who took Steve in to custody.

Bo goes to leave the cabin right as Harris arrives at the door and they come face to face.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Wow.

I guess I’m back in business.

Good morning.

Hey, Dr. Evan. You got a minute? What a nice surprise. Sure. Come on in.

No, I will not accept the call.

What? He declined my call.

Damn him. Take it easy, sister. Oh ho. Take it as my own damn business. And I am not your sister. Actually. You are.

Hi. Oh, uh, yeah. I was just going to actually hop, hop in the shower. Come in, come here. Yeah. Did you, uh, did you find Steve? No. No. I just, uh, I just went to his room and I checked with the front desk and no one saw him come in last night. But now I’m starting to worry that something’s happened to him.

Whoa. Oh, Brady open this door. I don’t know why you’re wasting your breath. You think he’s suddenly gonna come to his senses and let us out? No. So we’re gonna have to find a way to get ourselves out of.

Hey, Papa Chad and I just got to Athens and I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you voicemail. It’s been like two days. It’s bad enough. My mom is missing. What if something’s happened to my father too? Stop. Listen, you can’t, you can’t think that way.

We’re here now. Okay. We’ll find him.

And I haven’t heard from you, so I’m starting to worry. I hope everything’s okay, and then I’ll hear from you soon. Love you.

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

Hey kid. Hey dad. Oh, thanks. She’s this are from Arlene, right? I knocked off work early here and stopped by the florist and thought I’d bring a little something home. Yeah, I don’t, I don’t think she’s here. I didn’t see her car, the garage when I came in. Oh, I know. She decided to go back to work today. I’m not really down with that.

I think it’s a little bit too soon. You. That she’s been, uh, seeing patients in this living room on that couch about 24 hours after returning to the land of the living. So I say she’s okay and she’s ready.

You got a good point there. Yeah. Yeah. I, uh, I heard that she hypnotized Stephanie yesterday and that Stephanie recalled Kayla saying something about my grandfather. What, what is that all about? Apparently Vic is out of town, but Chad and Stephanie talked to him on the phone and of course Vic, I know nothing about Kayla’s kidnapping.

Now for Maggie’s part, she gave Chad and Stephanie a list of Vic’s properties in Greece and they flew over there right now to check ’em out. Do you think my granddad’s telling the truth? Well, I’d like to believe so, but God knows I’ve been wrong about him before. I just hope they’re not walking into some kind of trap.

Yeah. Here you’re, I’d feel a hell of a lot better about this if Steve hadn’t gone off to quit. I got no clue where he is. Huh? Nothing. Damn it, kid. I would love to be on that search, but you know, the idea of just leaving Marna here. I know, I know that she’s physically fine. Maybe I’m being irrational here, but I just, I can’t bear to be away from her so soon after.

Got her back.

It’s Alex, Kiki. Right? I don’t think we’ve actually formed Met. We haven’t. But let me just say it is great news having you back. I do know how much you mean to clearly so many people. I thank you. I feel so lucky to be home with the people that I love most. Right? I hope this isn’t a bad. Oh, no. No, not really.

Uh, I, I’m, I’m not seeing patients today. I was just going to catch up on some paperwork. Oh, but why don’t you have a seat? I, come on, sit down. Thank you.

What can I do for you? Um, well, as you know, Stephanie’s in Greece right now. She’s looking for her mom who is alive. Yes, I know. It’s another miracle, right? Yes, it is. So I was just, I was wondering if maybe you, uh, had any news about her things that you were so close to the situation yourself? Um, no, I haven’t heard anything new.

I’m sorry. Okay. Did you, did you know. No. No, not, not really. No. Um, but I hope to God they find her. Yes, we all do. Yeah. Me more than most. See for me, that could mean mighty redemption. I have called, I have text. Oh, wait a second, finally. Okay. All right. All right. All right. He’s texting us back. Let’s see what he has to say.

Sorry, I haven’t been in touch. Uh, Stephanie arrived. She’s upset about her mom. I’m trying to calm her down. Let me know if you track down banks. Okay. Well, there, there we go. Yeah. It’s one problem solved. Yeah. Yeah. Thank God Steve’s.

I’ll let you two get reacquainted or just acquainted, so. You are the infamous Megan Hathaway and you are the infamous Kristin Damira. Different last names perhaps, but we are undeniably family. Yeah. Well, let’s not start singing Sister Sledged just yet, but I do have to say you went pretty well preserved for someone who was already.

10 years before I even stepped foot in, sang that cryogenic chamber fluid. It’s wonderful for the skin, uh, as is, uh, Mediterranean heat. Yeah, I heard that, uh, you were apprehended on an island off Greece. We’re a host of international crimes. Oh, news travels. Fires. Mm-hmm. So what are you doing here in Salem?

I cut a deal with the, is. So that I’d be incarcerated here. And why would the ISA even consider giving you a deal with everything you’ve done? They were desperate to find Kayla Johnson. And I told the feds that a former associated mine, Thomas Banks, was the one absconded with her. Thomas, Ugh. That disgusting little creep.

I mean he masqueraded as me in Monte Carla. I can’t even believe some SAP actually believed that that hideous little creature was yours. Truly,

I God, everyone’s at the desk. Good. We’re gonna need their help to go through this list of Victor’s properties and hopefully find my.

So you see, I, I had no idea Stephanie’s mom was dying when I turned her phone off. I just wanted some quality time with my. Yeah, I understand and thank you, and still I know that it was my fault that she didn’t have the opportunity to say goodbye to her mother. She was so upset. Not that she didn’t have every right to be, she did, but I’m just explaining to you why we broke up and now she’s with Chad.

Yeah. Anyway, when I heard this news about Kayla being alive, I realized that maybe I didn’t rob Stephanie of her last moments with her mother after all, and I know they still have to find her. It’s either that or I live with this guilty conscience forever.

We didn’t get anywhere at the Dive Verna last night, but we will continue looking for banks today. We’ll keep you updated. You know, it’s really too bad we didn’t have much success last night at the. I wouldn’t say that. I mean, we didn’t find Thomas Banks, but we had some fun, especially during our dance.

Yes.

Oh, it’s room service. Throw some clothes on. Could you? Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, I got it.

So why would Thomas Banks kidnap Taylor Johnson unless. Did you order it? Why would I do that? Kayla is of no use to me now. Right. Oh. And just what we planning to do with her back at the ranch with Dr. Ralph, she, Marlene and Kate were going to be Ralph’s human Guinea pigs. It was going to be a monumental scientific breakthrough for all of humanity.

Hmm. Let me just take a wild guess here. You were mostly interested in what it could do for you. Am I right? No comment. Fine. All right. Then answer this. If someone was going to bite it, why couldn’t it bend? Marlena Yk. If it had been my choice. Oh, it wasn’t? No it wasn’t. One of the employees went a bit rogue Thomas.

It had to have been. I mean, they didn’t find anyone else on that island except for Rolf. Right. Tell me where are you getting your information from? It sounds like you’ve downloaded the ISA intelligence report. I am aware of everything that concerns my family. Listen, change the subject you just threw Poor Thomas under the bus and that is a.

Nature major breach of the Damer Code of ethics for maintaining loyal employees. Look, I had to give the ISA a, and they knew that Thomas had been one of my hired guns, so, so you lied. Why? Hmm. I’m for whom? If Thomas didn’t take Kayla, then who did? Huh?

Sis hatch. Oh, don’t mind the gun. It’s just an insurance. Where were you, Bo? Fishing. Fishing. Yeah. You’re kidding. Right? Go. I made you some stew with fresh sea bass. Beats the anchovy rations we had when we were in the merchant marina. You are holding us hostage here and you are out fishing. Yeah, indeed. I asked for your help.

You didn’t give it willingly, so, so what about Steve? Why is he here? Got in my way. What about hope? Why don’t you wanna see her? Oh my God. Okay. As I recall, she hated and really kind of misunderstood why I grew to love and admire my father. So since that’s the direction my life is, No reason to have her in it.

No. That may be the story you tell yourself, but it’s a lie. It’s not that hope misunderstands you, it’s that she understands you too well, and you don’t like that you’re afraid she’s gonna break through to you and that scares the hell outta you, doesn’t it?

Now enough talking more work. I don’t see much of that going on down here. I wonder why you wanted the prism. I went and got it for you. You told me that you’d get the information off of it. I told you. That’s what I thought. Okay. You don’t seem to understand. The clock is ticking. Your daughter has found her way to Greece.

What? What? Stephanie’s here and it’s just a matter of time before she or hope. Find out that you are missing. I can’t keep putting them off. And if either one of them gets in my way,

come on. How can you say it’s ir? Of course you want Marlena, buy your side every second because she’s the love of your life. And it’s like, you just, it’s like you just got her back, you got a second chance with her. And then dad, everyone’s happy for you. I’m happy for you. Hell, I’m, I’m envious of you. Ah, come on, come on, come on.

No. Hey, it’s not like I’m comparing my relationship with Chloe, yours and Marlene’s. It’s just that, hey, you mean even though your love for Chloe hasn’t gone on for decades? Still doesn’t use the pain when things go wrong, and yeah, doc told me that it’s. It’s a rough go right now with, uh, with, with Chloe and Rachel.

Rough. Yeah. Rough, rough. R That doesn’t even describe it. What makes me so infuriating? It’s all because Kristen manipulated the whole scenario to her advantage. She set out to make sure that Rachel hated Chloe, and she did it. She succeeded in it and that I don’t have a clue how to fix it. Not a clue. I never deny that Thomas was the one who took Kayla and you never confirmed it.

Why don’t you just tell me the truth? Why would I, why would I tell you anything? I don’t know. You having heard of sisterly bonding, my sister Renee died before I knew her, so I’ve never actually had a sister. Mommy neither. I mean, there was Lexi, but I barely knew her. On the other hand, so many male siblings, aka brothers, I don’t know them either.

No, I do want to come on. It’s obvious that you haven’t talked to anyone in decades. I mean, except for misfits, hostages and dead people. Yeah, I Where you can find it. Someone normal, someone you’re related to. Come on. I mean, not only. Can we be sisters, but we can be sisters in crime? Well, there’s definitely at least one thing that we have in common, a desire to get out of this place.

Right? So why don’t I scratch your back? You scratch my, what do you say sis?

So this urgency to find out about Kayla, it seems to be about more than just assuaging your guilty conscience. Well, I mean, of course I want Stephanie’s mother to be alive. She’s an amazing person, a well-respected doctor. So many people love her just like you. So you came all the way over here. Say what a wonderful doctor Kayla is and what a wonderful doctor I am.

I don’t know what you’re getting at. It seems to me that Stephanie broke up with you because she felt you had cost her the last moment she would’ve had with her mother, and now that now that her mother’s alive. I wonder if you’re thinking perhaps. You have a second chance with her?

Uh, Stephanie Chad, please come in. Uh, Seth. Where’s your dad? We don’t know. Yeah, we went to his room. It wasn’t there. Oh. Uh, Harris, this is my niece Stephanie. This is Chad Dara. This is Harris Michaels. He’s helping us look for. Yeah, I know who this man is. He was back in Seattle that he delivered pizzas to me and my family.

One of them literally blew up in my face. Stephanie, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I really am. I can’t tell you how much I regret my actions during that time. I assume you weren’t seriously injured. I ended up in the hospital, but I recovered pretty quickly. Thank God for that. I just hope you couldn’t accept my apology.

Well, I do understand that you weren’t yourself. My dad went through something very similar a while back, so yes, I do accept your apology, especially because you’re helping me look for my mom. I’m grateful for your understanding. I’m grateful for everyone’s efforts in trying to find my mom, but now I’m worried about my dad too.

Why? He just texted us, said that he was with you. What? But he isn’t, obviously, and we haven’t heard from him since before we left Salem. My God, my dad’s in trouble listening.

Are you okay? Fine. Jesus. Don’t pull that crap again. What? Huh? Come on buddy. Pull that trigger. No, stop it. I know. He just had plenty of chances to kill me and he hasn’t done it yet. That can be arranged. Oh, I don’t think you have it in yet. Stop it. Don’t prove me wrong. Come on, stop it. No, I’m waiting. Pull the trigger.

Do it.

Dr. Evans, this was so good of you. I’m gonna pay you for a session. Absolutely not. Oh, yes, yes, yes. You just got back in here. You are trying to help me. You deserve to be compensated. No, I’ve been away for a while and right now it feels really good. It’d be working. Are you sure? I’m sure. But

you could answer my question.

Okay. Um, well, I guess I haven’t thought that much about getting back with Stephanie. Um, I guess maybe because, uh, As confident as I may seem, you know, being a halfway attractive guy, um, Stephanie was the only woman I truly loved and, uh, being rejected by her really painful.

So I guess maybe I’m, uh, just afraid getting. Again,

you’re feeling vulnerable because you have very deep feelings for her. I do. I guess all this, um, discussion is just bringing all these, um, subconscious thoughts to the. That’s how therapy works. Right? Right. I am realizing as I sit here with you, um, part of me is hoping that if they do find her mom, maybe Stephanie will be able to get past what happened.

She and I could be together again, straight to voice. Damnit. Hannah, what are you thinking? That it’s possible someone else has your dad’s phone because they’ve taken him and they want us to think that he’s okay, which means that he’s not. It’s, it’s, it’s, it’s Okay. Wh where and when did you last see him?

Well, we, we split up yesterday. Yeah. Helping, I follow the lead on Thomas Banks. That was the dead end. Steve went to the local police station to take a look at Wolf’s personal effects to see if that could give us a clue on your mother’s whereabouts. Did it? Well, we don’t know. We haven’t seen him since then.

Let’s go to the PD for now. That’s the only lead we’ve got. No, it’s not the only lead.

What the hell is the matter with you Bo? Next time it’s your brains. Oh man. It made me go on ways to perfectly good red. No, he didn’t do anything. This is all you Bo, because you’re trying to be somebody that you are not. Who I’m not is Sean Brady’s son. The one who never fit in was never a Brady. No, that is not true.

Of course, you were. You still are. And if you’re not proud of that, if you think it’s better to be a curus, corrupt and greedy, selling your soul and your heart for money and power, and you’re a damn fool and a co. You don’t think I’m capable of killing? That’s why you keep pushing me. I put a bullet in Kate Roberts.

Oh, you need to listen to me. You don’t need to do any of this. What you’re thinking, what you’re feeling right now is because of what Megan Hathaway did to you. For your information, Megan Hathaway’s been captured. She’s in Statesville Prison as we speak. Are you gonna let that crazy woman control you from an ocean away?

Okay. Since we’re sharing secrets, how about you star?

Oh, you were chatty Cathy a minute ago. Now you’re not willing to share. I see how this works. Oh fine. Don’t tell me who has Kayla. I will figure it out on my own. Good luck with that. Oh, screw luck. I’m excellent at deductive reasoning. And you know what, you just give up. Thomas Banks, your trusty right hand man.

Bull. See whoever took. Is someone that you’re protecting. See, I think I’m getting close. She’s better than Sudoku. See, whoever you’re protecting is someone that you care about. And as I know, you never cared about anyone in your entire life. I mean, maybe father, but he’s dead. Oh, Brady, of course, but he’s dead too.

Yes. Poor Beau died of a brain tumor just as I was dead before the unceremoniously dumped me into a hot tub and fried me to crisp. And yet here I sit before you.

What are you saying, Megan? You’re saying that Bow Brady is alive.

How long is that list of properties? It’s long. Everything from Titan’s headquarters to Victor’s child at home? Of course, we have no idea if my mom’s even at any of these properties. Let’s just stay positive. All right. All we gotta do is get out there and start looking. I think we should split up. Good idea.

I’ll go to the police station. I’ve been working with the isa, so they’ll talk to me. Stephanie, Chad, you speak together and Harris,

there you go. All right, let’s do this. You two. Be careful. Keep your phones on. Okay? I do. Hey, um, you be careful too. I’m going to the plays. Safest place in town. Uh, Steve possibly disappeared from there. That’s what I’m gonna find out. Thank you for helping my family. You gave me my life back. Just hope I can return the favor.

Wow. What that, just, this whole getting in touch with your feelings thing. You know, I, I always mocked it, but it’s really helping. I’m glad to hear that.

You think I need therapy. Therapy is what I do, so I’m predisposed to think that every. Can be helped in therapy. Ah. See I’m predispose to think I just don’t need it sitting around talking about my feelings and emotions. It’s not really my vibe.

Have you changed your mind? Well, I mean, I, this did help. A a lot right now,

but no, it didn’t change my mind, I don’t think. I wanna continue. I’m good. Not really. I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Really good. If you do change your mind again, you can call me. Oh, thank you. Appreciate that.

Yo, I’ll tell you one thing though. It was great meeting the famous Dr. I know

Marlena said that she would keep working with Rachel. I mean, not, not, not officially working with her, but she’s just talking things through with her. Yeah. She’s really the only mother figure that Rachel has. Right. Well, we really adore that little girl.

So have you, have you taken Rachel to see Kristen lately? No. No. The only, the only time she’s seen her mother recently is when she took that solo adventure to Statesville. Kristen keeps hounding me, but Dad, I don’t want Kristen poisoning her mind any. I just declined her call a little while ago. Oh, I see.

So you think it’s okay to, uh, to freeze her out? I, I, I, I mean, I mean, if, if Rachel. Thanks that you’re trying to keep her from seeing her mother here. She’s gonna dig in even more. You know that. Yeah, I know that. I don’t. As much as we would like it not to be true in this particular case, there’s a strong bond between mother and daughter.

I am not so sure that can be broken.

Look, uh, we may be sisters, but even so, it does take a little time to trust someone. Don’t you agree? What the hell are you getting at? Just not quite ready to play True confessions. Well, it’s time for me to go get settled into my new home, away from home, cuz it looks like I’m gonna be here for a while.

Theoretically, at least

no one controls me. Megan just woke me up to who I am. No, this is not you, Bo. Oh yeah. What do I have to show for that pansy ass? You say I was? How about a son and two daughters and two beautiful grandchildren, Bo and another one on the way. What? Is he pregnant? Yes. Do you hear that? Isn’t that wonderful news?

I mean, it’s a blessing Bo, isn’t it? Bo? This makes what I’m doing that much more important. What are you talking about? I’m gonna build an empire like my father did. Make something on myself, bro. They want you. They don’t want some kriyas to want to be, it’s like I told you before, whether the Brady’s were lacking in wealth.

We made up for how much we’ve loved each other. Come on. You know that, you know, the most valuable thing is that not just a bunch of numbers in a. You have to see that. What I see is that you’re wasting my time. Again, this is happening whether you like it or not, so get back to work. I need equipment, I need supplies.

You’re just stalling. No, I’m not. But maybe Ralph could just, you know, work with random junk. I can’t. I need, I need a laboratory. I need equipment. All of a sudden you have.

Okay, what you need.

This could be dangerous, Chad. We knew that when we came. So what I’m saying is I don’t think I should be dragging you into this. You have Thomas and Charlotte to think about. Nothing is gonna happen to me. Okay? And I’m not letting you do this alone. We’re gonna be fine. We got each other.

Oh, hey Doc. Oh, hi. Hi. Yeah, you got some flowers, but you know what? Mine are better. They are because they’re my favorites and because they’re from you, I love. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. So tell me how is the first day back? Um, it’s been pretty pissy. Mm-hmm. Good. We’ve been doing a lot, lot of catching up, right?

Sorry. Excuse me. Catching up. Yeah. Hey, this is Dr. Evans. Hi, Dr. Evans. It’s Alex Kiki. I’d like to make an appointment.

Statesville.

Hello? Yeah, I’ll accept Brady. Yeah, it’s me. What do you want? Actually, what I want is to relay to you something of the utmost importance.

You okay? No, I’m not. Okay. He could have shot you. Why did you bait him like that? To prove a point. He didn’t shoot me. He won’t. But he could have. And now Stephanie’s here. Don’t, don’t worry about Stephanie. If he can’t hurt me, he’s not gonna hurt his own niece. He’s not as dangerous as he pretends to be.

Baby. Listen, hope and Michaels have to be wondering where I am now. Okay? Hope is gonna follow the breadcrumbs. They’re gonna find us. You hear me? They’re gonna find us.

This warehouse is huge. There’s a lot of places for someone to be soaking around. What was that? Oh my God.

I’m Hope Brady Isa. I’m looking for a colleague. He was supposedly here yesterday, but hasn’t been seen since. Name’s Steve Johnson. Doesn’t sound familiar. You give me. Actually, I can do better than that. Ah, yes. The director of the ISA said he was an imposter, took him into custody. Shane Donovan took him into custody.

No. Okay. What, hold on a second, just to be clear. This, uh, this is the man who took Steve Johnson to custody. No, that, that’s not him. But this is Shane Donovan. So who’s the man who took Steve? Mr. Johnson’s custody.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kyle: This is a nightmare, dad. An arrest warrant, handcuffs? How can they even think mom killed phyllis?

Jack: I cannot bear the idea of diane spending even another second locked up for a crime I know she did not commit.

Kyle: Well, we– we have to post her bail, whatever it is.

Jack: If she can even get bail. Given her history for pulling disappearing acts, christine may argue for no release at all.

Kyle: Okay, well then what are we supposed to do? We can’t leave her sitting in a cell.

Jack: No, you are right. We have one choice. We have to prove her innocence, which is exactly what I’m going to do. We do have one other issue.

Kyle: What?

Jack: We don’t have a lot of support, even in our own house.

Kyle: Summer will be adamantly against anything we do. She truly believes my mom had something to do with phyllis’ death.

Jack: Summer is reaching out for answers. She is mistaken about your mother.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, that’s why we have to clear her name, not only for the authorities, but for my wife. If we don’t, I don’t know how my marriage survives.

[ Footsteps approaching, sighs ]

Chance: I guess I don’t have to ask what you’re doing here.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I just couldn’t help myself. I keep thinking about that night and… it’s nagging at me. Something feels off and I can’t let it go.

Chance: And neither can I. Look, summer, maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be right now. You should go home or to the office. Anywhere but here.

Summer: I can’T. I can’t stay away.

Jeremy: You got that, phyllis? You have no life. And if you think you’re going back on our deal, I will make that a permanent reality.

Phyllis: You don’t scare me. You’re not a killer.

Jeremy: Okay, listen. You have absolutely no idea what I’m capable of. And you’re not gonna blow this for me.

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Phyllis: You got what you wanted. Diane is behind bars.

Jeremy: Yeah. And she won’t be for very long if you’re stupid enough to show your face in public. And if my role in your fake death is revealed, I’m going back to prison. And that’s not gonna happen. So, if I have a choice of going back to prison or killing you, that’s not a choice at all.

Adam: Well, after the ultrasound tomorrow, we’ll know the baby’s sex. It means you can get busy designing some very chic baby clothes. I know you’ve moved on from fashion as a career, but can you really resist making our baby the fashion model of the year?

Sally: I’m embarrassed to say I hadn’t even thought of that.

Adam: I’m surprised.

Sally: Right?

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: But now that you mention it, I mean, how can I resist? Our baby can’t wear clothes off the rack, right?

Adam: No! Never.

[ Laughs ] Oh. Not flossing well?

Adam: Oh, it’s a newman family reunion. Should have called. I would’ve got the potato salad and the picnic basket ready.

Nick: Well, I don’t know about dad, but I’m definitely not here to see you.

Adam: Oh, well maybe you’re here to dangle some fresh new company in front of me, only to yank it away again just for fun.

Victor: Surprised to see you here, son. Especially with that lady.

Sally: Adam and I just ran into each other.

Adam: That’s right. I, uh, I insinuated myself into sally’s private tea time. You know how pushy I can be and she was too nice to ask me to leave, but I will not keep her any longer. She’s all yours.

Jack: Hey, we’re both going to have to be understanding of summer’s feelings. How could we not? She’s lost her mother. Grief has colored every part of her life. She’s looking for answers. She wants to blame someone. And diane is her mother’s greatest enemy. But the truth will come out. We’re gonna see to it, right?

Kyle: Absolutely, we are.

Jack: And when it does, summer will see that diane is innocent, just as clearly as we do.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, I’m relieved to hear your faith and mom hasn’t wavered. It’s just you and me, dad. No one else believes in her. Now, all we have to do is convince the world.

Jack: No. What we have to do is figure out what kind of case the gcpd is building against her. What possible evidence could be so damning against diane? I know they came here. I know they searched the house. What could they have found?

Kyle: Well, I’m guessing it’s something that links the poison in phyllis’s system to mom. Whatever it is, it was planted.

Jack: You’re right. You’re right. Stark found some way to get manufactured evidence into this house.

Kyle: Oh, how could he even get in here with all the security?

Jack: I don’t know. He did it somehow.

Kyle: Okay. Well, however he did it, there is no doubt in my mind that he’s framing mom.

Jack: Oh, clearly this is payback for how diane and I framed him for that jewelry heist with the newmans. God. He got exactly what he wanted. All of our lives are turned upside down. This is my fault. Diane would not be in this position if it weren’t for me.

Chance: I can’t imagine how painful it is being here.

Summer: It’s just like the memorial service. Coming here is a part of my penance.

Chance: Penance? Summer, none of this is your fault. You don’t have to do penance for anything. I hope you know that.

Summer: No, I do. I treated my mom so badly at the end. I know that diane’s been arrested, but until she is convicted and sentenced, I owe my mom an enormous debt. I just… I don’t know why I didn’t trust her. I should have believed her and… that’s a mistake that I’m gonna regret for the rest of my life.

Chance: Give yourself a break, okay? Take some time to grieve. You’re being really hard on yourself.

Summer: I am grieving. Coming here, it’s not just a penance. It also brings me some comfort, you know? This is forever gonna be the last place I saw my mom alive.

Phyllis: Listen, I have a plan. I will say that I came up with this entire scheme. That it was all me. I’ll keep your name out of it completely.

Jeremy: Who’s going to believe that? How could you possibly explain it all? Huh? The hijacked ambulance, the poison, the dead body doubles. What possible reason would you give for marrying me when you knew you were gonna fake your own deaths supposedly without me even knowing about it? No. There’s too many holes. It won’t work.

Phyllis: No. I’ll come up with plausible answers for every single thing. Trust me.

Jeremy: There’s no way I wouldn’t be implicated. So no, we are moving on with our plan whether you like it or not.

Phyllis: Look at you. You think you’re scaring me, don’t you? You’re nothing compared to the terrifying thought of my children needing me and I’m not there for them? My strength as a mother is fiercer than anything you got.

Dehydrated hair?

Kyle: Dad, I refuse to let you take any of the blame for what mom is going through. Stark has been out for revenge since the day he showed up. He had a plan even before the burglary in chicago. He was determined to make mom pay for rejecting him and helping put him away.

Jack: Of course, I know you’re right, but I have to take some responsibility for underestimating stark. I thought by just standing up to him, freezing him out, he would be neutralized. That not giving him that power in our lives, he would ultimately just give up and go away. Wow, was I wrong.

Kyle: Hey, stark has gotten lucky.

Jack: No, he has been one step ahead the whole way. I couldn’t have been more wrong about any of this. And now… and now phyllis has paid for her life by mistakes I made.

Kyle: Hey, hey. Who could have known how deranged that man is? That he would go as far as to murder phyllis to punish mom. That’s how little he values life.

Jack: I appreciate you defending me, but I– I deserve some of this guilt I am carrying. I… god, I handled this whole thing so badly. And moving forward, we can’t do that. We can’t make any mistakes. We know now, this man is a murderer and if he has that little value for human life, believe me, there’s no stopping him from killing again.

Phyllis: My children are suffering. They’re tortured. You didn’t hear the pain in their voice. Oh. I was wrong. I was wrong to do this. My children don’t hate me.

Jeremy: Okay.

Phyllis: No. Shh.

[ Phyllis exhales ] I can’t put them through this. I can’t put them through this. Okay? They regret the way that they treated me.

Jeremy: Okay. But you’re out of it now, okay? So deal with it. They made it very clear how they felt about you before your divorce.

Phyllis: I know, but– but they regret it. Seriously. Please, please just listen. They are tortured. They are tormented right now losing their mom like this.

Jeremy: You are blowing this way out of proportion.

Phyllis: I want you to see this from my angle, where I’m coming from, please.

Jeremy: Okay. I really don’t care where you’re coming from. I only care about where you’re going. Away.

Phyllis: No!

Jeremy: Okay.

Phyllis: I’m not going away!

Jeremy: We had a deal and I held up my end of the deal. Okay? This is exactly what you signed up for. What the hell did you think was gonna happen?

Phyllis: I didn’t know my children were going to suffer.

Jeremy: Oh, they’ll get over it.

Phyllis: No, they won’t get over it.

Jeremy: You wanted a part in taking diane down. Okay, you got it. We pulled it off. Plus you got to see her escorted away in cuffs. That had to be some sort of a satisfaction, huh? Justice served.

Phyllis: At what cost, huh? At what cost? Because what my kids are going through right now, it’s not worth it.

Jeremy: Okay. You’ll get over it.

Phyllis: I did an impulsive thing and I regret it.

Jeremy: Okay. You’ll get over it.

Phyllis: I’m not gonna get over it! Because everyday, I’m gonna look in the mirror and all I’m going to see is diane jenkins. This is what she did. And she let her son suffer for years and years thinking that she was dead. I cannot do that. I can’t go through another minute of this knowing how my children feel. I cannot do it.

Jeremy: Okay, just shut up and think. The only reason your kids softened towards you is because they think you are dead. Now, once you become alive again and they realize that you deliberately put ’em through this hell, trust me, it’s not gonna be sunshine and roses. And on top of that, there’s gonna be some serious consequences.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Jeremy: You’ll be facing charges too. And what kind of a happy reunion will it be with you behind bars, okay? That could be you in the prison cell instead of diane. Poor ol’ diane, the living martyr. You’re gonna be the locked up criminal. Hm? Are you gonna let her get away with that, huh? Are you gonna let her win?

Sally: Actually, if you will excuse me. I should be going.

Nick: Well, I showed up at the right time. I’ll drive you to the athletic club then.

Sally: Sure you don’t wanna stay and order something?

Nick: No, I’m good.

Sally: All right. Then, uh, good night.

Adam: Yeah. Thanks again for, um… thanks.

Victor: That was quite a display, son.

Adam: Mm-hmm. What’s that?

Victor: You know exactly what I’m talking about. You and your brother fawning over that woman.

Adam: Okay. Well, I can’t speak for nick, but I hope you have a good night.

Victor: Son.

Adam: Enjoy your coffee.

Victor: I’m talking to you. Don’t walk away from your father, okay?

[ Adam sighing ] Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Kyle: You’re right, dad. We have to be on high alert where stark is concerned. We have no idea what he’s capable of.

Jack: I’m gonna call security. Have them double up. I don’t want that man anywhere near this house, especially with harrison here.

Kyle: Agreed. But one way or the other, we have to prove he’s behind what happened to phyllis. How do we even do that?

Jack: Carefully. Very carefully. Especially now that we know he’s not above murder.

Kyle: I’m gonna go check on mom at the police station, see if she needs anything. Hopefully, the initial shock has worn off and maybe she’ll have some fresh ideas as to how stark managed to pull this off.

Jack: Give her my love. Tell her I’ll be there shortly to update her on the whole lawyer situation. I have calls out to every major law firm in chicago, milwaukee, minneapolis. I’m not gonna give up ’til I find the right lawyer. We have to find her the right lawyer.

Summer: What are you doing all alone here tonight? I can’t imagine that you’re still working.

Chance: Actually, I am. I like to take in the crime scene while I think. That helps me kinda paint a picture of what happened. Can’t get that sitting at a desk.

Summer: Have you come up with anything?

Chance: No, not yet. I’m just taking notes.

Summer: Would it help you if I reenacted it? I mean, when my mom collapsed, I– I– I remember every single second of it. I keep replaying it in my head. The whole night, really, from the time that I– I criticized her at the bar ’til when she crumpled here on the floor. I just–

Chance: Summer–

Summer: No, seriously. It’s fine. I promise you. It’s all I think about anyway.

Chance: Let me call somebody for you, okay? Maybe your dad or kyle, maybe your brother.

Summer: No, there’s no need. Daniel’s grieving and kyle’s convinced that his mom is innocent and my dad just hates seeing me in pain. He just wants to give me a shoulder to cry on, but that’s not what I need right now. There’s only one thing that’s gonna make me feel better.

Chance: What’s that?

Summer: Knowing that my mom’s true killer will be punished.

Jeremy: You can see that there’s no way back, right? Only forward. You made your bed, now you have to live with it.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. You’re right. I have to stick with the plan. I have to stick with the plan. If I don’t, I’ll lose everything. Oh, my god. Yeah.

[ Phyllis sighing ] I just have to accept the fact that I have to start life anew.

Jeremy: Good. I was hoping you were gonna say that. Because the alternative…

Phyllis: You made it clear what the alternative is.

Jeremy: Look, there’s nothing bad with starting over. Just picture this. A secluded beach on a remote island where the water is bluer than the sky, the wave splashing against the shore, sipping our tropical drinks while we watch the sunset.

Phyllis: Sipping our drinks?

Jeremy: Oh, I… I didn’t mention that? Change of plans. I’m coming with you. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean. Besides, I wouldn’t want you to be all lonely out there. I think I need to be right by your side, so you won’t be running home anytime soon. I’ll be right there to remind remind you that there’s no turning back now.

[ Jeremy huffing ]

Phyllis: Is that good news?

Jeremy: Yep. And the timing couldn’t be better. It’s an old colleague of mine. He’s helping me with my offshore accounts. I’ve arranged to send half of your money to the island.

Phyllis: Wait a second. Wait. You’re– you’re sending half of my money to your offshore account? I mean, why would you do something like that? You’re just implicating yourself. Diane hasn’t even been found guilty.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Look, diane is still in jail. There’s no one that’s gonna be tracking me.

Phyllis: Yeah, but if you disappear, it makes you culpable and then the police are on your tail, and then that brings you to me and this all blows up in our face.

Jeremy: Hm. Maybe you’re right. I’ll stay here until she’s convicted and then when it’s safe, I’ll come join you.

Phyllis: You’ll join me.

Jeremy: Oh, yeah. We make a great team. There’s no reason to break things up when we have endless possibilities.

Victor: Please have a seat, son.

Adam: All right. I’m listening. What more is there to be said between us, dad?

Victor: I really am sorry you feel that way.

Adam: I’m just– I’m not sure that this conversation is necessary.

Victor: I hope you will take my advice in the spirit in which it is given.

Adam: Go on.

Victor: I think you’re making a terrible mistake.

Adam: You’re gonna need to be a little more specific.

Victor: I’m talking about sally spectra.

Adam: Ah, I see. And what did she do now?

Victor: Are you aware that she’s involved with your brother and they’re trying to make it work out? Son, you need to come to terms with that and move on. Pining over this woman will give you nothing but heartache and disappointment.

Sally: Then I saw mariah and tessa and sharon with baby aria and, oh, she’s just sweet. I couldn’t take my eyes off them. And then adam got caught up in the moment too and god, aria is just such a cutie. I felt like I was witnessing this, like, perfect little miracle. I’m sorry. Am I talking too much?

Nick: No. I do wanna hear about aria, just maybe not right now.

Sally: I understand. Are you okay?

Nick: [ Chuckles ] It’s just been a brutal day. I’m really wiped out.

Phyllis: Okay, don’t you think doing something like this would complicate things?

Jeremy: That’s what we both thrive on, right? Complications. That’s another thing we have in common.

Phyllis: Let’s just focus on taking diane down.

Jeremy: Okay. Come on, phyllis. You didn’t think doing business with me would cost you something? We are husband and wife now. You belong to me. Hey! Hey! Where the hell do you think you’re going? I told myself I was ok with my moderate

Victor: You’re wasting your time pining away over a woman. You’re flirting with your ex-girlfriend who’s involved with your brother.

Adam: Don’t you think I know that? What’s your point?

Victor: My point is mccall unlimited is waiting for you. That’s a much better opportunity.

Adam: Okay, stop. I don’t need you to tell me what my better opportunities are. Why can’t you understand? Sally and I, we’re bounded for life.

Victor: Son, I thought you were a little bit more mature than that. You sound like a teenager whose love struck. Come to your senses, son.

Adam: You really– you don’t know, do you? Looks like you’ve been left out of the loop, dad. Sally’s having my baby and I’m still in love with her.

Sally: I’m sorry for going on and on when you’ve had such a horrible day. I’m– I’m sure the memorial was heartbreaking.

Nick: Yeah. And on top of that, summer’s mother-in-law was just arrested for killing phyllis, which makes the pain that much worse. There isn’t anything I can do about it. Then, there’s my sister.

Sally: Victoria?

Nick: Yes.

Sally: What’s going on with her?

Nick: Vic is setting herself up for a boatload of trouble. I can see it coming. I’ve warned her, but she will not listen to me.

Sally: That sounds like a lot of weight to carry around. Look, you always look after me. Let me look after you for once.

Nick: Well, I appreciate the offer, but don’t you know looking after you is like my favorite thing to do in this world? Being with you right now is exactly what I need.

Jack: Christine, please apologize to your assistant for me. I maybe got too aggressive in trying to find out where I could locate you.

Christine: Jack, I really don’t think it’s wise for us to be speaking right now.

Jack: I understand. I just want some advice.

[ Christine grunts softly ]

Christine: If this is about the case–

Jack: No, it is not– at least not the way you think. I’m in a bit of a loss right now. I was hoping that perhaps you could recommend a good defense attorney. I’ve been making a few phone calls and I wanna get the very best. I wanna do everything I can to help diane.

Christine: I’m sure.

Jack: Well, some of the big name attorneys don’t wanna represent a woman who deceived the whole town and faked her own death. I thought maybe by this point I would know something to tell them about the case against her as they could be good candidates. The evidence that you–

Christine: I understand, okay? I– I understand. That will all come out in discovery. Jack, honestly, I want to help you, but my hands are tied. I am bound by the law and my own personal code of ethics. I know you understand. This is nothing personal.

Jack: Yeah, of course.

Christine: And I do wish you luck in finding an attorney for diane.

Summer: I know that you’re doing everything you can to find out exactly what happened that night. I just… I don’t want you to get distracted trying to look for evidence against stark. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that that man took advantage of my mom. I mean, clearly, he manipulated her into marrying him, but diane is the reason my mom is dead.

Chance: Summer, you know I can’t talk about the investigation and I don’t want you to get involved. No more stunts. Don’t try to pull anything else like you did at the memorial service trying to coax a reaction out of diane. That was risky enough.

Summer: I know. It’s just all that I think about. I mean, my mom collapsed right there. Right, right there. It’s an image that I’m gonna have to live with for the rest of my life.

Chance: I hate seeing you like this. I really do. Let me drive you home.

Kyle: I think you’ve done enough for now.

Phyllis: I mean it. Let me out, jeremy.

Jeremy: No, I don’t think so.

Phyllis: You’re gonna keep me in here?

Jeremy: If I have to. You didn’t change your mind, did you? It was all an act. You’re going back into town for the kids, aren’t you?

Phyllis: You can’t stop me from doing that.

Jeremy: Oh, I think I can. And I can make this all stop, but I will put you in a shallow grave if I have to.

Phyllis: You’re bluffing. You’re not going back to prison.

Jeremy: [ Laughs ] You don’t get it, do you? You’re already dead. No one’s gonna look for your body. Killing you is a victimless crime.

Phyllis: What are you doing? What are you doing? You don’t have to do that.

Jeremy: You leave me no choice.

Phyllis: Please, jeremy. Please. Oh, my god. Please, no. Oh, my god! No!

(Cheery music) – they get it.

Nick: You know what? Enough talk with all this loss and sad stuff. Let’s talk about something a lot more fun.

Sally: That sounds like a great idea.

Nick: I cannot wait to go to your doctor’s appointment with you. I get to be right by your side when we find out if you’re gonna have a little scrapper or a beautiful little princess.

Sally: Yes, it is going to be very exciting, but I have some news to break.

Nick: Okay. What is it?

Sally: I’m not sure if you’re gonna like it.

Nick: Oof. Really? All right. I’m listening.

Sally: Look, you know, I am so excited for you to be there tomorrow and– and you know to look out for me like you always do.

Nick: I wouldn’t miss it for anything in this world.

Sally: Well, it’s not just gonna be the two of us at the appointment tomorrow. I invited adam to join us.

[ Sally sighing ]

Victor: This is unexpected. Are you sure sally spectra is telling the truth?

Adam: What do you mean?

Victor: It’s not some drama she created, like a supposedly fatal illness while she was in los angeles?

Adam: No, dad. I assure you, this is legit.

Victor: Why has she not told your brother about this?

Adam: She has told nicholas about this. He knows.

Victor: Man, oh man, oh man, oh man. What the hell are you two doing? I don’t get any of this.

Adam: There was a paternity test. I’m sure nick wishes he was the father, but I won out.

Victor: You think you won out? You think this is a victory?

Adam: I think that you should start speaking more kindly about your next grandchild.

Victor: You are involved with a woman that is now involved with your brother. This pisses me off!

Adam: I don’t know why.

Victor: Don’t you understand any of this? What has gotten into you? You should be working. You should have purpose in your life, a direction in your life, instead of pining away over a woman that is now with your brother. What the hell are you thinking?

Adam: You just, you don’t get it, do you?

Victor: No, I don’t!

Adam: Connor and my new son or daughter, your grandchild, that is my purpose. That is my sense of direction.

[ Victor exhaling ]

Kyle: You okay? When you weren’t at home, I had a feeling you might be here.

Summer: You didn’t have to track me down.

Kyle: Yeah, I did. I was worried about you.

Chance: It’s probably a good idea to get her home.

Kyle: Look, I just came from visiting my mother in jail. She’s in there alone and suffering because of you and the rest of your police force. You are harassing her and falsely accusing her of a crime she never would’ve committed in a million years. Meanwhile, the most obvious suspect, jeremy stark, he’s still out there free as a bird.

Chance: I have evidence that says otherwise.

Kyle: Oh, what evidence?

Chance: You’ll see.

Kyle: I’m warning you, chance. Don’t fill summer’s head with your crazy baseless theories. You have nothing but trumped-up planted evidence. These accusations against my mother are not true. She is not some cold-blooded killer.

Summer: Kyle, just stop. Nobody is filling my head with anything.

Kyle: Okay, but chance is making his job to prove to people my mom is guilty.

Summer: You know, I don’t wanna get into this with you right now. Let’s just go home, please.

Kyle: Of course. Of course. This is borderline harassment. You already put my mom in jail, stay away from my wife or I will find a way to make you pay, detective.

Jack: Christine, we have known each other for a long time now. I’m not asking that much. I just need to know what we’re dealing with. Is there anything you can tell me? Anything at all?

Christine: Jack, good night and good luck.

[ Jack sighing ]

Jack: Hey, I’m glad you picked up. I appreciate you asking. Things are a little more urgent now than they were the last time we spoke. It appears you are diane’s last chance. Is there anything I can do to change your mind? She needs you. My family needs you, michael.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. That was fast.

Well, we dropped everything as soon as you called.

Whatever willow needs, we’ll do.

Yeah.

That’s a good thing, because we need you both.

Now more than ever.

Hey. I just, you know, stopped by to say hi to anna. Yeah, any doubt that she’s a world-class survivor, she just retired the trophy. Is that coffee for anna?

Tea. Earl grey, her favorite.

I just sent her some flowers.

Is that how it worksnow-

give with one hand, take with the other? I mean, is this the current mo?

I don’t understand what you’re talking-

what are you-

do we have a problem?

Since you used diane miller to circumvent the law, yeah, I think we do.

[Sighs]

Brook lynn.

Right on time.

The meeting hasn’t started yet. You already submitted a letter on my behalf. Why are you here?

Why do you think? Someone’s got to make you presentable.

If chase and finn heard that you were ill, they did not hear it from me.

Alexis, please. I didn’t come here to argue with you.

Gregory, are you ok?

I will be if you’ll do me a favor. I promise you it’s the last time I’ll ask.

Yes?

Did senorita ask for more towels?

Oh, no. I’m sorry, you probably have the wrong room. Oh. I don’t think you know what you’re doing, but I’m going to call the front desk.

No. Please don’T.

[Gasps] Holly!

[Laughs] What took you so long?

[Laughs]

[Dramatic music]


Why are you in a disguise?

Well, when you’re supposed to be mummied up in a swiss burn unit hiding out from victor cassadine, you can’t afford to be too careful.

Right. Well, for someone who was barbecued in a house fire, you look pretty amazing.

The ultimate chemical peel.

Oh, yeah.

People pay thousands for that in a fancy spa. But speaking of looking good, look at you. You look amazing. Whatever you’re doing with mac, keep it up.

Oh, thank you. Well, ever since I got back into the pi game it’s been really good for me. It keeps me on my toes, which is how I got the brilliant idea to fly to caracas, hop a boat, and catch up with you here on this island.

Let me guess. This has something to do with the ice princess necklace.

Oh, so you know that victor has the real deal.

Yes. Robert got word to me that it was especially important that I lay low right now, because if victor has the necklace, it’s likely he knows that I pulled a fast one.

Well, unfortunately, he’s taken hostages. I’m sure he won’t hesitate to grab you again if he gets the chance.

Not if we turn up the heat, but first things first.

Right. First we find your son, and then we find the person who killed luke.

It seems to me you’re under the impression that I crossed the line in some kind of way. What’s that about?

Somebody hired diane miller to represent this lowlife who was hired to take out lucy coe at the nurses’ ball.

Every defendant has a right to legal representation. You know that.

Representation?

Yeah.

Yes. But not an a-list attorney like diane miller, who just happens to be on your retainer. You made this guy an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Correct me if I’m wrong. Didn’t this person of interest reveal that victor has hostages aboard the “haunted star”? That was because of diane’s information. She got that information. Now you guys are armed with all this knowledge. Who cares how you got it?

But that depends. I mean, how far is too far, eh, nina?

[Bell dings]

[Tense music]

 

Ok. What’s going on? I mean, we were kind of worried when you asked us to come by. We, you know, assumed it was a health-related issue.

It–it is, in a way. But what I need help with is planning our wedding.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, of course. We told you we’re happy to help. But I thought that wasn’t for a few months.

Right. I wanted to wait until after the transplant. But now, with my donor missing, I’ve reconsidered. What do you say, carly? Do I have your blessing to marry your son tomorrow?

Mom, please say yes.

The last time you’ll ask me for a favor-

what does that even mean?

I’m sorry. No. No, let me clarify. When I say it’s the last time, I mean I won’t bother you again if I’m imposing. That’s all. By now it’s public knowledge that your family may be involved in what may turn out to be the story of the year.

You’ve hea rd aboutthe ghost ship then.

It’s impossible not to. But what’s really blowing up the internet are the names of the villain and the victims. I know to you those aren’t just names. They’re flesh and blood, your family.

Oh, it’s my family, all right. I have reporters on it. Nikolas has vanished. Nobody knows where he is, and his sons apparently are hostages. And the mastermind of the whole thing is my uncle victor.

Yeah. I’m sure it must be overwhelming to have to juggle your job and your emotions. So that’s why I’m here, to offer my help.

[Tense music]

Just stay still. You want to look your best before the committee, don’t you?

I don’t think the ccrb is going to give me a thumbs-up or thumbs-down based on my appearance. It’s my character and judgment that are in question.

Well, they’d be lucky to have you back. Anyone would be.

Right this way, please.

Um, just look each one of them in the eye, be yourself, and you can’t lose.

Is that my manager talking?

No. I’m just someone who believes in you. Is it ok if I stay?

I would like that.

Break a leg.

[Ominous music]

 

This meeting of the civilian complaint review board will come to order. We’re here to consider the reinstatement or permanent dismissal of detective harrison chase. Will you come forward, please?


mr. Chase, the committee has reviewed your work record. And in many ways, it’s exemplary.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

However, given that you twice resorted to violence in your off-duty life, the committee’s concerned you may lack the temperament and the discipline required of an officer of the law, much less a detective. To that end, this is a forum both for those opposed to and in favor of restoring your badge.

I understand. Thank you for the opportunity.

I’d like to speak in chase’s favor.

Attagirl.

And your name is-

 

blaze.

Is that your first name or your last name?

It’s my stage name. My real name is alison rogers.

And your relationship to mr. Chase is-

 

he’s my singing partner. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of performing with him. But as talented as chase is, and a real natural on stage, I know his true calling is being a police officer.

How do you know that?

Chase stood up for me when my creep of a manager was sexually harassing me. But chase didn’t throw his weight around, if that’s what you’re thinking. He just put linc brown on notice. Chase made me feel safe and protected, even respected. And isn’t that what a cop’s supposed to do-

serve and protect?

Honestly, I didn’t think I was ever going to see you again. Our last visit sort of implied that.

Yeah. Well, I considered keeping my distance, not wanting to add to your troubles. But then I thought, wait a minute. My friend alexis is trying to put out a newspaper while holding her family close, because this story strikes so close to home. So I just put everything else aside, and got in the elevator, and here I am.

So you get to help me, but I don’t get to help you. Interesting terms for a friendship.

Of course you have my blessing. You’ve always had my blessing. Are you sure that you want to push the wedding up when, you know-

 

when I’m living on borrowed time. I don’t want to waste another minute.

And you’re ok with that?

Yeah, absolutely. I want willow to have everything she’s ever dreamed of.

So maxie is overseeing. Brook lynn is taking care of all the arrangements here at the house, and sasha is contacting the vendors.

I want to do something too.

[Chuckles]

Oh, me too. Me too. Whatever you need. Give me a job.

Congratulations.

What are you doing?

Oh, I just wanted to talk about alternative treatments for willow with dr. Randolph. But it’s no use, because willow never signed the release to let me have her medical information.

I’m sorry.

I’m just-

I’m just grasping at straws. Willow pretty much said that there’s no other treatments. Sonny, we have to find aunt liesl in time for the transplant. At least we know why she disappeared from the nurses’ ball, and we know who has her-

all thanks to you.

Ok. I don’t know exactly what you heard.

Listen, there’s no reason to keep me out of the loop anymore. It’s common knowledge that victor cassadine vanished with the “haunted star,” and aunt liesl is one of his hostages. It’s a lot more than we knew last night. I asked you to do whatever it takes. You took me at my word and did it. Didn’t you?

[Tense music]

Thank you so much.

Ooh. Coffee run?

Earl grey. One’s supposedly for anna. But she’s being examined right now, and I-

I guess it’ll be cold by the time she’s finished. Hmm. Oh, maybe you’d care to join me, or would this be looked upon as a conflict of interest by your boss?

I’m the senior partner of my own law firm, robert. I don’t have a boss. I have clients.

Hmm, I doubt that sonny knows the difference. You’re not here to receive your marching orders, are you?

[Laughter]

[Chuckles] In point of fact, I am here to depose a client who is being wrongfully accused of malpractice. I’m no wartime consiglieri…

yeah.

Da scorpio. I am an attorney with principles.

I’m sorry.

I was out of line, out of line.

Yes, very.

Please accept my apology and this lukewarm cup of tea.

I hate to admit this, but I’d almost given up hope of finding ethan. Even with all my contacts with robert’s trusty-rusty rolodex, it was as if he’d vanished off the face of the earth.

Yeah. People have a way of vanishing when they’re in victor cassadine’s orbit.

Is it true about liesl obrecht?

Yeah, and most likely spencer and nikolas cassadine’s infant son.

God knows what victor’s got in mind. Thankfully, I finally got wind of a lead that ethan is being held somewhere here on this island.

So you know where he is.

Mm, no, I just heard this literally in the last 24 hours.

Huh. Doesn’t that just strike you a little bit convenient coming on the heels of victor fleeing port charles?

Without a doubt. But this is my son we’re talking about. I have no choice but to follow the lead.

Right. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s find him.

But I can’t like this.

[Laughter]

I got you covered. Welcome to felicia’s boutique. Take your pick.

[Chuckles]

What would I do without you?


stimony, miss rogers. The committee will take your thoughts into consideration. That being said, we also have to consider detective chase’s poor judgment and quick temper. Frankly, there’s also concern about his commitment to the badge. We understand that someone suspended without pay has to earn a living. But pursuing a music career-

perhaps you’ve got a new calling in show business.

Excuse me, but I think I know what chase’s true calling is.

And who are you?

Brook lynn quartermaine.

I believe you’ve already submitted a written statement in support of detective chase.

Yes, I have. But I have more to say. If you want to know where detective chase’s heart lies, nobody knows that better than me. Nobody.

In my book, friends don’t always have to agree. You know, sometimes they fall out for years. And I hope that isn’t the case with us. Look, I know your daughters are a strong support system for you. But sometimes it’s good to have the support of friends who you can communicate with in a different way.

In other words, you missed me.

[Chuckles] Guilty as charged. And I’m hoping you’re feeling the same way.

I do. I like our connection. I like being able to talk to somebody who’s intelligent and observant. So yes, I missed you too. So sit down, and let’s get to work.

Ok. Ok, we have a story to tell, one that cuts close to the bone. So I think if we put our heads together and set our egos aside, like we did on the trail of the hook killer, then we can make this work.

[Clears throat] Ok. Can I see a proof of tomorrow’s front page?

Mm-hmm. Here it is. Hang on.

What? What? What’s wrong? Did I already stepped on your editorial toes?

My toes are just fine, thank you very much. But first we need to tell another important story.

Oh? What’s that?

Your story.

You’re absolutely sure you want to know? ‘Cause if I tell you, you can’t unknow it.

I know what I’m asking.

Let’s sit down. Ok. Victor’s enforcer, the guy who tried to kill lucy at the “haunted star,” I knew he wasn’t gonna talk to the cops. So I arranged for him to have legal representation with diane.

Well, you were doing your civic duty.

Something like that, yeah. So in their meeting, diane discussed with him a plea bargain, how he can-

he can accept a lesser charge if he gives important information.

Oh, so he gives up victor cassadine to get a less severe charge.

Exactly. You know what? We don’t live in a perfect world. But one thing I’ve learned-

one thing you can count on-

nobody does anything for free.

Wow. What is this place? It seems way too formal to be on a tropical island.

If you have to ask, you are not a member.

I’m not. Are you?

No. But victor is.

I’m sorry, ladies, but tonight’s auction is closed to the public. It’s strictly virtual.

Auction?

I’m afraid you’re going to have to leave.

Are you sure you couldn’t make an exception in our case?

I’m sorry, but you’ve made a serious mistake.

[Ominous music]


Take these ladies off the property now.

Oh, you don’t understand. We represent a consortium that does business with mr. Victor cassadine.

So?

So-

 

so our clients insist that we bid for them in person. We can’t risk leaving a digital footprint, if you know what I mean. Um, you understand, right?

Very well. Take a seat. Everything will start shortly. And bring the item up. And remember mr. Cassadine’s instructions. Handle with care.

Well done. That was some fast thinking.

How do you figure this gets us any closer to ethan?

I think we’re already closer than we think.

[Tense music]

So what should we drink to?

How about to trust?

Trust. I trust you. I mean, in fact, I damn well admire you. Just, well, it’s too bad you’ve got to be compromised by the likes of sonny corinthos.

Every time you take a plea deal and you don’t prosecute, are you compromised?

Not the same. Apples and oranges.

Is it? Were you compromised when you and holly were running around carrying out those dubious operations for the wsb, or every time you and anna broke the rules just to take down the bad guy?

It’s–it’s different. It’s–it’s not the same thing.

Why? Oh. Oh, let me guess. Because you were doing it for god and country, is that it? Admit it, robert, we don’t deal with saints. We choose to work with complicated men and women. And, honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

So now that you’ve asked for my help, you have second thoughts?

Not a one. The mike that I fell in love with in nixon falls is still the sonny that I’m still in love with. I realize that I can’t pick and choose the parts of you to love.

Damn, I thought it was the dimples.

Well, yeah. The dimples do definitely help, for sure. Hey, sonny, since we now know where aunt liesl is, are we any closer to finding the “haunted star” and bringing aunt liesl home in time to save willow?

Michael, josslyn, do you think I could have a word with your mom in private?

Of course. Did I ever tell you about that epic volleyball match that we had last week? ‘Cause I’m about to.

Michael has been wonderful about the wedding. But as soon as I start to talk about what happens after I’m gone, he doesn’t want to hear it.

Neither do I.

But you’re a mom, and you understand.

Ok, willow-

 

I want my children to have what I never did-

to grow up surrounded by family.

Willow, I mean, between us and the quartermaines, amelia and wylie are going to have more family than they can handle. You know?

It’s their aunts and uncles I’m worried about. As long as michael is at odds with sonny, his siblings will feel that they have to choose sides. Dante, I’m not worried about. He’s able to navigate between the two. But christina is fiercely loyal to sonny. She’s already pulling away from michael, not out of malice, but she sees the situation from her father’s point of view. As they get older, what if avery and donna do the same? I don’t want those little girls to miss out on having michael as a big brother. I don’t want my children to miss out on avery and donna.

So you’re asking me to make peace between michael and sonny.

[Tense music]

 

Look, I had no plans to tell you I was sick. I regret losing my temper and blurting it out. It was wrong of me to dump it on you.

I’m glad that you dumped it on-

I’m not glad that you’re ill. I’m glad that you shared it. Gregory, as much as our collaboration means to me, your health and well-being mean more. And I know myself; I can’t unhear or ignore what you told me.

I’m not asking you to pretend you didn’t hear it. I’m just asking you to not let it get in the way of us doing what we do so well together. And if you can do that, then I can promise I won’t let my little problem come between us again.

What I didn’t say in my letter is that chase does have a problem-

a big one. He cares too much. When you boil it down, that’s what blaze was saying, and all the people who wrote letters. Chase isn’t just a cop. He’s a human being. That’s what caused him to come to my defense not once but twice, and he has paid the price. And all the more, he has learned from it. Do you want to know why he’s so good at being on stage? It’s the same reason he’s great at investigating a crime. Because he puts his heart and his soul into it, and he never quits until he gets it right, never quits on anyone, even if they deserve it. And we-

we need someone like that enforcing the laws in this town-

the kind of person who feels for people and fights for them, you know, the kind of cop-

the kind of man who we are all proud to call detective harrison chase.


Detective chase, your witnesses spoke quite eloquently on your behalf. Do you have anything to add?

Not very much. Because no matter what the review board decides, I will always be grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of port charles as a detective. It was a true honor. However, if you all decide to reinstate me, I will do my very best to deserve your trust.

The committee will adjourn to consider our decision.

Thank you so much for what you just said, blaze.

I only spoke the truth. And if they don’t reinstate you as a detective, please know I’d be thrilled to be your duet partner for life.

[Chuckles]

Sorry, I can’t stay to hear the final decision. I’m due at the recording studio. I’m putting together a new demo.

That’s great. Good luck.

You too. Bye-bye.

Bye.

[Sighs] How you doing, chase?

You know what? No matter what happens, I’m gonna be ok.

Why is that?

Because of you.

I appreciate you not wanting me to know anything about your illness. But if something were to happen to you, how will I know what to do?

What if you get hit by a bus? What if I slip and fall in the shower? What if an asteroid hits the planet? Isn’t life just one big what if? Look, it’s not that I don’t understand you wanting everything out in the open about my illness. But, ultimately, it’s happening to me. All I’m asking is that you respect my privacy so that we can get back to doing what made you want to work with me in the first place.

Not a bad argument. You should have been a lawyer.

Does that mean I’ve gotten through? Come on, alexis, let’s just forget everything else and tell this story.

Making peace would mean pressuring michael, and I don’t want that. But I also don’t want to leave my children in a divided family when I’m gone.

Ok. Please don’t say that. I mean, of course, I will be with michael if anything were to happen. But can we not put that out in the universe? Please don’t say when.

Ok. If I go, I want wylie and amelia to be able to see their grandfather, and their aunts and uncles and not feel the tension underneath.

All right. I understand where you’re coming from. What do you need from me?

Part of the reason why michael has drawn such a hard line with sonny is out of loyalty to you.

I know that. And I didn’t expect it. I never asked michael to turn his back on sonny.

No. No, of course you didn’T. But you’re michael’s mother. Sonny treated you unfairly, and michael resents it. It’s made him question everything else about sonny, and there’s a lot to question. It’s all perfectly justified. But being right doesn’t build bridges. Compromise does. And for the sake of our youngest family members-

for avery, and donna, and wiley, and amelia-

I am asking you to be the one who builds the bridge.

So I’m not sure if it matters to you, but sonny knows about me and dex.

Since when?

Since the night of the nurses’ ball. He found us together. He told us he’s known for months. He said he was disappointed in dex for keeping it from him but that he saved his life.

Wait, sonny acknowledged that dex saved him?

Yes. He also said that I’m mom’s daughter and it’s mom’s issue to deal with. He wasn’t happy, of course, but he wasn’t that mad either. I mean, you know what it’s like when he’s mad.

I do. So what happened next?

Nothing. He gave dex another job, which turned out to be to look for obrecht. Anyways, my point is, dex told me that sonny is using every connection to find her.

Yeah. Oh, and sonny called me, told me that he’s-

he’d do anything to help.

Sonny called you?

Mm. Yeah, and there was something-

there was something in his voice that almost made me forget about all the destruction and the broken lives. I don’t know. I just-

for a moment, he sounded like-

 

like who?

He sounded like my dad.

You need to focus on the positive. Now jordan has all this information. She’s gonna notify everyone from interpol to the U.S. Navy.

Yeah, I know that jordan is probably doing the best that she can. But I also know that you have more resources than these so-called authorities lack. I know, sonny, that you are working behind the scenes. I just want to be able to help you.

Do what you can to help your daughter as much as she’ll let you. You understand me?

In other words, stay out of your business.

It’s safer. It’s safer this way.

The thing is, is, I do-

I trust you. And if I wanted safer, I would have walked away from you a long time ago. I want you to know this. I’m not asking you to share your trade secrets with me. All I’m saying is that you don’t need to shield me. And what I mean by that is, when I said, “I’m sure,” I’m sure I love you. And I’m sure that I trust you. And I am sure that you’re going to put me and your family before anything else. I’m not asking for anything more, sonny. Just you. All of you.

You got me.

Bienvenido, willkommen, bienvenu and welcome. As you know, you represent a select group invited by our host, victor cassadine, to bid on what I dare say is one of a kind item, one that has a personal meaning to each and every one of you. Bring him up.

[Ominous music]


I promise you, willow, I will do my best. I promise.

[Somber music]

Hey.

Hey.

So everything ok in here?

Yes. I was just telling willow that I am going to do everything I can to make your wedding everything the two of you want it to be.

We both will. Are we heading out?

Yeah. Yeah. Take care of her.

Promise.

Goodbye, willow.

 

Well, looks like we’re good to go wedding-wise.

Almost.

I really mean it. You don’t have to protect me. I’m not trying to change you ever. I love you.

I love you, too. And I’m not giving up on your daughter. If victor has your aunt liesl, we’re gonna find her. We’re gonna bring her home in time to save willow. Whatever it takes.

It meant a lot that you spoke on my behalf today.

Well, blaze did too, which really impressed me. Because if you get your badge back, she loses a duet partner.

What blaze said was amazing. But I don’t have the same history with her that I do with you.

You’re right. Speaking out, I owed it to you.

But still, thank you.

You’re welcome.

[Gentle music]

 

Mr. Harrison chase, the ccrb have made our decision.

 

You know, the first time we met, when you almost hit me in the head with a frisbee, I knew you were as stubborn as I was.

I don’t like to show all my cards at once.

All right, listen. I will go along with this if you promise to tell me if this gets worse and you let me help you.

Maybe, and maybe not. It really depends on the situation.

Oh, you’re exhausting. It’s a good thing I like your work.

Which means-

 

which means I will cooperate for now. Have it your way. All right? So let’s get to work, professor. Don’t just sit there, and take this copy and do your thing.

[Groans]

Gregory!

Oh!

You do realize, of course, that it’s been weeks since you promised to take me out to dinner and fill me in on the mystery that began with the fire that scarred poor holly and ended up destroying the ice princess necklace.

Weeks, really?

Weeks. Then, of course, that only deepened with the murder of eileen ashby.

Well, the deputy mayor had her share of enemies.

And now apparently there’s this ghost ship floating around with hostages on board.

Wait. Wait. There’s no time like the present. We’ll have dinner tonight.

So you just assume that I don’t already have plans this evening?

Um, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you had plans.

I don’T. But in the future, a lady likes to be given a little advanced warning.

[Chuckles] Thank you.

Guards, show everyone exactly what they are bidding on.

[Tense music]

Ethan.

For the privilege of ending the life of ethan lovett, the bidding will start at $1 million.

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

 

B&B logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Liam: So, I think, um– I think maybe there’s been a– a misunderstanding. I didn’t come here because I need you to reassure me about my marriage.

Thomas: I get it. You don’t like hope spending time with me.

Liam: That’s true, but… I trust hope. I just don’t trust you.

Thomas: Sure, and I– I haven’t really given you a reason to trust me.

Liam: And you’ve never given me a reason to change my mind.

Thomas: But maybe I can in time. Everyone knows that hope is committed to you and your marriage.

Liam: And nothing is gonna change that, including you. You understand that, right?

Steffy: Sometimes things work out the way they’re meant to. Sheila’s in jail, our families are safe. I’m happy with finn and our kids and douglas is back with you and liam and beth and you’re happy and in love with liam.

Hollis: I mean, it’s been a lot of time since our dinner and I still can’t stop thinking about you. I just know that there’s so much more that we can have together. Much more.

Brooke: Hollis, you’re very sweet and sexy, a good kisser, but you’re looking to date and I’m not ready yet.

Hollis: Yet.

Brooke: [ Laughing ] Okay. You are relentless.

Brooke: I am flattered, I truly am, but I think our days of special deliveries are over.

Hollis: Look, maybe dinner at your house wasn’t as romantic as it should have been.

Brooke: Oh, no. No, it was. It was lovely. And that kiss. Oh, my gosh, that kiss. But as much as I enjoyed it, I’m not sure I’m ready to jump into something.

[ Taylor clears her throat ]

Taylor: Oh, hello there. You’re looking a little flustered.

Brooke: Whoo.

Taylor: So is–

Brooke: I am.

Taylor: So is there gonna be another dinner with hollis or did you chase him away?

Liam: Hope brought you back for one reason, to help save her line.

Thomas: And we’re gonna make that happen. I’m not gonna let her down.

Liam: That’s awesome because you are a valuable co-worker to her, but nothing more. So, please understand, all the long hours, all the talk about teamwork and partnership, there’s no hidden message there. It’s all about hope for the future. It’s not about you.

Steffy: If thomas does become a problem for you, I– I wanna know.

Hope: He won’t be.

Steffy: I’m glad to hear that, but I do have high hopes for this partnership. But if thomas does step outta line or if you need some distance, you can come to me. I– I do want hope for the future to succeed, but I also want you to feel supported. Our moms are doing it and I hope we can do that too.

Hope: Thank you. Steffy, I– I appreciate that. I really do, but your brother has just been a complete professional.

Steffy: I’m really glad to hear that.

Hope: Yeah, I just– I wish liam would believe it too. You know, I’ve tried to reassure him, but I don’t know, nothing seems to help. Maybe if he heard it though, coming from someone who– who works here at the office and knows firsthand how thomas and I interact. I mean, I know you already kind of broached the subject with him, but maybe it’s worth trying again. You know, help liam see that there’s nothing to worry about when it comes to thomas and me. Keep it quilted means you keep it the best…

Steffy: You want me to help you out with liam?

Hope: Well, I just– maybe you might be able to get through to him. I mean, talk to him, reassure him, it might make more of a difference coming from you.

Steffy: I– I tried, I tried to make it clear to him that I think my brother has changed. And his obsession with you is in the past.

Hope: And liam just wouldn’t listen.

Steffy: Hope. Okay– okay, I will, uh– I will give it another shot. I will talk to him again.

Hope: Thank you.

Steffy: Yeah, of course. It’s the least I can do. You let thomas come back to hope for the future and yes, it was right for the line, but it was also so good for him. I’ve never seen him so motivated and energized.

Hope: Yeah, I can see it too.

Steffy: But if– if thomas, like, freaks you out, being around him in any way, like, come to me. Know that I’m here for you.

Taylor: Hello? You’re quiet all of a sudden.

Brooke: Yeah, sorry.

Taylor: That’s okay. What’s going on? Are you thinking about hollis asking you out to dinner again?

Brooke: I wish, no. Probably something I can’t do right now.

Taylor: Right, because you want to focus on your family?

Brooke: Yes. And this isn’t about ridge?

Brooke: No, nothing like that, no.

Taylor: Okay. Well, you’re thinking about something. Something’s wrong. What is it?

Brooke: Look, I don’t wanna get into it. We’re here, having a nice meal, nice dessert. I don’t wanna get too heavy. Probably reading too much into it anyway.

Taylor: Okay. And maybe– maybe your feelings are completely valid and we can work it out together. It’s kind of my specialty.

Brooke: It’s hope. Our relationship as mother and daughter. She would like to be the complete opposite of me.

Thomas: Hope and I have agreed to keep things professional.

Liam: Right, but hope doesn’t have a problem with boundaries. You do.

Thomas: I did, you’re right. But not anymore.

Liam: [Indistinct] Was so much easier if I could just, like, take your word for it.

Thomas: I’m not– I’m not expecting you to just take my word for it, all right? I– I know that my promises don’t mean that much to you, but I’m asking you to trust me.

Liam: I know, yeah, I know. You just want a chance to prove yourself. I know.

Thomas: Yeah. I do.

Liam: Listen, hope did what she had to do to save her line and I will always be supportive of her career, but thomas, she is not attracted to you. Hope is impregnably faithful and she loves me with all of her heart.

Thomas: Hope.

Liam: Hey.

Hope: You two playing nice?

Liam: Yup.

Thomas: Well, liam’s concerned about me, in relationship to your marriage. It’s not like I can blame him, all right. But I promised both of you that I am fully respectful of your marriage and your commitment to each other.

Liam: That’s all I wanted to hear. You wanna– do you wanna get out of here? Do you wanna, uh, grab some lunch or something?

Hope: Actually, uh, thomas and I still have some work to do, but I won’t be late.

Liam: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Hope: I’ll see you soon.

Thomas: Um, I meant what I said and I don’t think liam’s gonna believe me, but, I promise, hope, I don’t want to cause any issues for you or your marriage or turn your world upside down, ever again. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Brooke: My daughter doesn’t want to be anything like me.

Taylor: Do you think she really meant it like that?

Brooke: Those were her exact words.

Taylor: Okay. What– what sparked it? Have you been arguing?

Brooke: No, I mean my past hasn’t been an issue between us for a long time.

Taylor: Wait a minute. She– she brought up your past?

Brooke: My relationships with inappropriate men. I do regret the pain that my decisions have caused my family. I do, but you know what, those were my decisions to make and I made them. And whether they were right or wrong, it doesn’t really matter. I’m not gonna beat myself up for following my heart.

Taylor: Are hope and liam having problems?

Brooke: Every time I ask her, she just gets more and more upset. So, I am concerned, yeah.

Taylor: That makes sense. I understand that. But hope and liam will work it out. I– I do believe that. Hope is so in love and committed to liam.

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Steffy: Hey, hey, are you looking for hope?

Liam: No, no, actually I just saw hope. But if you’re busy, I can, I–

Steffy: No, no, actually, um– I– I need to speak with you.

Liam: Okay. Is it about kelly? Did she clock another boy?

Steffy: No. No, no, it’s– it’s about hope. I’m not trying to bring up a bad subject, but we’ve already had this discussion and um–

Liam: Yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, and hope she– she came here and she, um…

Liam: Steffy, she what? She came here.

Steffy: She’s worried about your concerns with thomas.

Liam: Is she maybe starting to share those concerns?

Steffy: No. No and neither. No, and neither am I. But clearly, you still have a problem with it, so she asked if I could talk to you.

Liam: Oh, great. So now you’re both pleading his case.

Steffy: No, no, look, hope and thomas, they are doing really great work and they’re doing everything they can to rebuild their professional connection. She understands that you’re upset and she knows that she hasn’t been able to convince you, so she asked if I could help.

Thomas: Like I said, hope, I’m– I’m so sorry for the heartache and pain that I’ve caused you in the past. Especially when you came in and transformed our lives. When caroline died, douglas and I, we were lost, but you came in and you– you– you gave him a mother and you showed us both love and compassion that we needed. And I cannot thank you enough for that. I am so grateful for you, hope. And I promise, like I said before, I– I don’t want to come in between your marriage and disrupt your life, okay? But my feelings for you, well, they were valid. It makes complete sense that anyone could fall in love with you because hope, you’re amazing.

For your most brilliant smile,

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: Hope and I have our differences, but I really admire who she is, who she’s become. And her morals and her principles, her priorities. But ever since her outburst, I’ve been really concerned.

Taylor: In what way?

Brooke: Are you having

feelings for another man?

Is it thomas?

Hope: This isn’t about me.

This is about you.

Brooke: All marriages have problems. That’s what I told her. You just have to face them together.

Taylor: And you really think that hope and liam are having issues?

Brooke: Their marriage has been under a lot of pressure.

Taylor: Oh, it’s because of hope working with thomas. Oh, I wish there was a way to convince liam that thomas had truly changed.

Liam: Hope wants you to speak to me?

Steffy: I told her I already had. Look, I’m– I am just trying to be completely transparent with both of you, but I am in a weird position because part of me feels like hope wants me to defend my brother and…

Liam: Which you… you have an issue with?

Steffy: No, no, not at all. And that is the strangest part of all because after everything my brother did, all the infuriating and destructive things he has done, I truly believe when he says it won’t happen again. My brother is working on himself. He is on the straight and narrow. He’s going to therapy. He is focused on work.

Liam: Well, yeah, he’s focused on hope’s collection, where he gets to spend as much time with her as he wants.

Steffy: Okay. The feelings thomas had for hope, they are in the past. They will not interfere in your marriage, okay?

Hope: I’m not perfect.

Thomas: Well, maybe you don’t see yourself that way but douglas does.

Hope: Well, he’s a little boy, of course, he looks up to both of his parents.

Thomas: Right, but only one of his parents deserve it. You gave douglas a future. He loves you so much.

Hope: And I love him.

Thomas: Yeah. Even when– even when he wasn’t living with you, when he was living with me, or when he was living with steffy, he still knew you were there for him. He could always count on you. You’ve always been that for him. You– you’re just incredible and– and in his life and I honestly, I– I can– I thank you for all of that. And I– and I wanna show you all the gratitude in the world, but honestly, I– I– I– I– I don’t want to freak you out or… yeah.

Hope: You’re not.

Thomas: No?

Hope: No. You and caroline created a beautiful, amazing boy and I am just– I’m lucky that I get to be a part of his life.

Thomas: Okay. Even if, um– even if his father is a part of the package?

Hope: Yeah, sure. Even if his father is a bad boy every now and then.

Thomas: Oh, well, good thing you’re the good girl.

Hope: Hm. It’s not as easy as it looks. To be honest, thomas, most of my life has felt like me trying to be someone different than my mom. You know, she had a tendency to jump from one man to the next, chasing passion and desire. She thrived on the attention and I judged her for it. I thought it was inappropriate, but maybe really, she was just following her heart. Maybe I was wrong.

Thomas: Um, what are you saying?

Hope: I don’t know. I don’t know. I’m just trying to still figure my life out.

Thomas: Aren’t we all doing that? There is one thing I know for sure.

Hope: What is that?

Thomas: Your place in douglas’s life? Like when– when things are going crazy. I don’t know which way is up. I’ve got two things, right? I’ve got my work and I’ve got our son and you’re always there for him. And I know it’s really, really cheesy and I’ve said it before, but you honestly are the hope for our future.

Hope: Well, thank you, thomas. I– I needed to hear that.

Thomas: Maybe I am the bad boy, but you’ll always be the good girl. You’re like an angel.

[ Kissing ]

[ Victoria sighs ]

Sharon: Hi!

Mariah: Hi.

Sharon: Oh, my gosh. You’re home.

Mariah: Oh, it’s good to see you, too.

Sharon: Oh, you’re here at last and you brought your own baby girl home.

Mariah: I can’t wait for you to meet her. I mean, all the video chats in the world don’t compare to holding that little nugget in your arms. You’re gonna love her.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] From the moment she came into this world and became a part of our family, I have loved her with my whole heart.

Mariah: Oh.

[ Both giggling ]

Nick: Summer, can I get you anything? You want something to eat?

Summer: No, thanks. Just… having you here is nice.

Nick: Of course. I’ll be here as long as you need me.

Summer: I appreciate that. Especially since I don’t know when I’m gonna hear from kyle.

Nick: I’m sure he will get in touch soon.

Summer: Maybe. He’s probably still at the police station with diane. I guess she’s his top priority now.

Kyle: It’s not true. You have to know that.

Jack: Hey, christine. Thank you for agreeing to see me so soon.

Christine: Yeah, of course. And I understand the urgency. You must be reeling after everything that’s happened. The memorial for phyllis, diane being arrested for her murder. How are you holding up?

Jack: How I’m doing is the least of my worries. Right now, I am trying to do everything I can to help diane. Arresting her was a gross miscarriage of justice. There is no way she is guilty of trying to harm phyllis.

Christine: ‘Kay, look, I’m sorry, as district attorney, I can’t discuss an open investigation.

Jack: Look, I’m glad to hear that it’s open, because I think the person you need to stay laser focused on investigating is jeremy stark.

Christine: Well, I assure you we’re following up on every lead, but right now they all lead back to your fiancé.

Jack: What about stark? He has more motive than anyone else.

Christine: Where’s the evidence?

Jack: Where’s the evidence against diane? You can’t just jump to the conclusion that she’s some kind of murderer. You know diane. You honestly think she’s capable of killing someone?

[ Christine sighs ]

[ Phyllis sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh… I’m sorry. Oh, my god, what have I done? For bathroom odors that linger.

Christine: Thank you. I’m afraid it’s not as simple as that. There are some irrefutable facts.

Jack: I don’t see how that is possible. I know she is not guilty regardless of what chance or anybody at gcpd claim they have on her.

Christine: The judge never would’ve signed off on an arrest warrant if the evidence wasn’t solid.

Jack: You don’t know what they got their hands on, but they’re soon gonna realize it won’t hold up. Yes, diane and phyllis were in a constant state of conflict, right up to the night that they fought and phyllis died. But diane didn’t murder her. That’s outrageous. Do you know what they brought to the judge?

Christine: Look, jack. I take my professional and ethical boundaries very seriously. If you expect me to reveal some information about this case because of our friendship, I can’T. It would be totally inappropriate.

Jack: I’m sorry. I’m not trying to take advantage. I’m not. I am scared, and I am outraged. She does not belong behind bars. All I’m asking is that you try to slow this thing down and not rush to judgment.

Christine: I assure you, it wasn’t rushed or without very strong evidence. This arrest was made on strong investigative work.

Jack: [ Sighs ] Then you have to focus on stark again. You have to. And somehow get diane out of that cell.

Christine: Okay. Jack, I– I understand how hard this is for you and your family, especially at a time like this. But I’m telling you honestly, there’s really nothing I can do except follow protocol.

Jack: Protocol? There is a murderer running scot-free out there, while my fiancé is sitting in a jail cell on trumped up charges. Did it ever occur to you, maybe he set her up? Whatever this so-called evidence your people have is–

Christine: It is very real evidence. So much so that it incriminated, diane to be arrested, okay?

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna promise you this. This case is not over. And yes, I will look into the loose ends. However, until something turns up to exonerate diane or points to some other person, that is really all I can offer you right now.

Summer: Kyle, I– I didn’t expect you to be home so soon. But I’m glad that you’re here.

Kyle: I need to be with you and harrison. I thought you might need me to.

Nick: Well, it’s been a long, exhausting day. You both need to get some rest.

Summer: How– how did things go at the police station?

Kyle: Dad and I were there while my mom was being processed, but they wouldn’t allow us to talk to her. Chance did allow her to tell us in passing and she was okay. Not that I believed her. She looks shell-shocked and traumatized. I mean, they have to know she didn’t do this.

Nick: I’m sure the police will get to the bottom of what happened. And I know jack will do everything he can to help your mother.

Kyle: Yeah, he’s meeting with christine as we speak. Hopefully, he can convince her to release her as soon as possible. In any case, thank you for bringing summer home.

Nick: Of course. All right, I’mma leave you two alone. I’m a phone call away. You need anything, I don’t care what it is, call me and I’ll be here.

Summer: Thanks, dad.

[ Door closes ]

Sharon: Where are tessa and the baby? You know I’m dying to see her.

Mariah: Oh. You thought you were gonna see the baby tonight? At this hour? No, no, no. I sent tessa and the baby to the tack house. That’s okay, right?

Sharon: You are teasing me, right? Stop, where are they? Are they waiting outside? ‘Cause I’ll go out there and get them myself.

Mariah: No, no, no, no, no. Hold your horses. I will text her to come in. I just wanted to come in first to make sure the place was warm enough and, you know, there wasn’t anybody with any strong perfume, or nobody was, like, hacking up a lung. I know, I sound ridiculous. It’s a little embarrassing.

Sharon: No, no, it’s perfectly normal. You sound like a first-time parent. But now that you see none of those horrors are going on in here, bring her in here. Hurry up! I can’t wait to meet her.

Mariah: Well, there’s, uh– there’s no need. Ta-da.

Tessa: Hey, sharon.

Sharon: Hi, tessa. Finally. Oh, my gosh. Aw.

Mariah: Well, here she is. Meet aria porter copeland.

Sharon: She is perfect. She’s absolutely perfect.

Tessa: Isn’t it crazy how pink her lips are? They’re so perfect.

Mariah: It’s the cheeks that get me.

Tessa: The cheeks, I know.

Mariah: The cheeks, they’re just so round. There are times, I wonder…

[ Kissing ]

Victoria: Oh, yes. Oh.

Nick: Hey, audra.

Audra: Nick. Um, I heard about your loss. Please accept my condolences.

Nick: Thanks.

Audra: You know, I’m surprised to see you here. Wasn’t the service today?

Nick: Yeah, it was. But, uh, there’s always work to be done, and honestly, I could use the distraction.

Audra: Well, if you’re looking for your sister, she’s in her office.

Nick: Oh, yeah? Great. I wasn’t sure she’d be here this late. I do need to speak with her, but I gotta run by my office and I’ll come back and see her. Thanks.

Audra: Yeah. My pleasure, nick.

Sharon: Come here, baby. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Look at you. Oh, my sweetie-jo. Look at you.

[ Gasps ] I think she smiled at me. Did you see that?

Tessa: Yeah, she definitely did.

Sharon: Ugh. Well, does she– does she cry much? Because she just seems so peaceful here. Like, she didn’t even make a fuss when she came into my arms.

Tessa: Aw.

Adam: [ Laughs softly] It’s pretty cool, isn’t it?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I mean, they look like their world just got a million times more wonderful.

Adam: Hmm. There’s nothing better than a baby. There’s just something about their presence that fills your heart in a way that you can’t even imagine. Just this little life with endless potential. Your world is suddenly brand new because now they’re in it.

Sally: Well, look at you getting all poetic on me.

[ Laughs ]

Adam: I’ve been there. Trust me. It’s– it’s magical. And it won’t be long until you get to experience that for yourself.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Well, why don’t we go in and meet the new baby?

Adam: Hello to the happy new parents.

Sally: Congrats, mamas.

Mariah: Thank you so much.

Tessa: As you can see, we’re over the moon.

Sharon: Her name is aria. Isn’t that a beautiful name?

Adam: That is absolutely fitting. This kid is gonna get the best lullabies ever.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] True.

Sally: Can I take a peek?

Mariah: Yeah, of course. Go ahead.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, we’re all about sharing the joy. I mean, what else is a baby for?

Sally: Oh, my gosh. Hi. Oh, my god. Look at those little fingers and her precious cheeks.

Mariah: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Aw. How does it feel?

Mariah: What?

Sally: Just, you know, being mothers now and knowing that aria is all yours?

Tessa: It’s like this wonderful miracle just happened.

Mariah: It’s like our– our greatest dream came true.

Kyle: We have a lot to talk about. But first, I wanna know how you’re doing? You poured so much of yourself into planning this memorial and now that it’s over–

Summer: To be honest, I’m just… exhausted. You know, I feel like I could sleep for a week, but… it was worth it, you know? The service was lovely. Don’t you think?

Kyle: It was just right. You did a great job. I can’t believe you did all that work on your own. Everyone was grateful for the chance to say goodbye to phyllis.

Summer: Yeah. And I got to say all the things that I needed to say to her. Things that I should have said to her while she was still here.

Kyle: And phyllis would’ve loved it. I hope that’ll bring you comfort in the days ahead.

Summer: Maybe, but I’m still gonna wake up every morning wishing that she were still her. But maybe– maybe I’ll be able to rest a little easier knowing that we honored my mom in a way that she deserved. And I think she was smiling down at us today. And thank you, my wonderful husband.

Kyle: For what?

Summer: Just for standing by me, for being the loving, supportive partner that I’ve needed throughout this whole ordeal. And I– I can’t even imagine what you’re feeling right now. You must have been blindsided by diane’s arrest.

Kyle: Yeah. I– I really didn’t see that coming. I hate to think that she’s all alone and locked up for something she didn’t do. I mean, how can they even think that? She’s not a murderer.

Summer: You really still think that? Even now?

[ Jeremy sighs ]

Jeremy: What happened to you leaving town last night like we planned? It’s so dangerous for you to be within 50 miles of this place. Why are you still here? Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Jack: I understand your point of view. I– I respect it. But promise me you’ll hear this much. From the moment diane came back to town, she has wanted nothing more than to reestablish her relationship with her son and get to know her grandson. That is all. Now she has a future with them, and with me. She has a new and burgeoning career. And why would she jeopardize all of that to get back at an old foe? Why would she go to all that work to rebuild her life here in town, only to throw it all away?

Christine: And I see your point. But the evidence indicates she did exactly that.

Jack: Then the evidence is wrong. This leads us back to jeremy stark. He’s a criminal. He set her up.

Christine: Tomorrow is her arraignment. I think you need to be prepared for what could happen. And given diane’s history of disappearing into the wind, there’s a very good chance that she won’t get bail. And there is nothing I can do about that. And if stark is responsible for phyllis’s death, he has done an excellent job of implicating diane and covering his tracks.

Jack: He may be good, he’s not that good. Eventually what he did wrong will come to light. He will be proven guilty.

[ Clattering ]

Phyllis: I changed my mind. I’m allowed to change my mind. People do it all the time.

Jeremy: Yeah. Look, I knew it. You took an insane risk by going to the memorial service.

Phyllis: I had to go.

Jeremy: No, you didn’T.

Phyllis: I did.

Jeremy: No, the only thing you have to do is get the hell outta town.

Phyllis: I had to see how my children feel about me. I had to see.

Jeremy: There you go with the kids again. Okay. Why do you care? They are adults now. They have their own lives and they’re gonna mourn and get right back to their busy lives.

Phyllis: No, they’re not.

Jeremy: Yes, they will.

Phyllis: No, they’re not.

Jeremy: Yes, they will and you know it.

Phyllis: They’re not.

Jeremy: You know it.

Phyllis: Shh. Shh. You didn’t hear the pain and regret that was in their voice. You weren’t there. I can take that away for them.

Jeremy: By showing up and letting them see that you’re alive.

Phyllis: They’ll forgive me.

[ Jeremy scoffs ] I know they will. I know they will.

Kyle: Of course, I believe my mother is innocent. What– are– are– are you saying you don’t?

Summer: Look, kyle. I know how hard it is to accept a reality that you don’t want to believe is real.

Kyle: Because it’s not. I will never stop believing my mother is innocent. The cops got this one wrong. It is tragic and it is disgusting. But jeremy stark is the only one to blame for what happened to phyllis.

Summer: Look, I don’t doubt that jeremy stark played a role in this and hopefully it won’t be long before he’s arrested, too, but I’m not buying that he acted alone. Chance didn’t arrest diane for no reason. Okay? They have a strong case against her.

Kyle: What? You can’t believe that. Whatever dubious evidence they have comes courtesy of stark framing my mother.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] You’re way too close to this. You just can’t see your mother for who she is. But I can. And now the police do, too. Look, I’m sorry, kyle. But I have to believe that diane is the reason my mom is dead.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Vic, you in there?

[ Victoria groans ]

[ Handle creaking ]

[ Nate hissing ]

Victoria: Uh, hey, nick. I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I had the door locked. Uh, nate and I were just having a drink. I imagine you could use one after the day you had.

Nate: Yes, thanks.

Victoria: Sure.

[ Nick clearing throat ]

[ Victoria clearing throat ]

Nate: Uh, nick, my, uh, sincere condolences. Losing phyllis is a huge loss to you and her family. She’ll be missed, uh, by the whole city, really. Um, I’m sure you two need some time to talk. Uh, I’ll check in with you later, victoria.

Victoria: Oh, yeah. There you go. So, how was the memorial service? I imagine it was especially hard for daniel and summer.

Nick: I don’t wanna talk about that right now.

Victoria: Okay. What do you want to talk about?

Nick: What are you thinking?

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] What? I don’t understand what you mean.

Nick: Stop. Just stop it. You know what I’m talking about. You and nate. Whatever was happening in this office. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Vo) get them to open up.

[ Chatter and laughter ]

Elena: Is that who I think it is?

Tessa: Elena, meet our daughter, aria.

Sharon: Isn’t she darling?

Mariah: You know, we didn’t plan a welcome home party for her, but it looks like we don’t have to. She’s getting to meet everyone.

Elena: Oh, yes. Welcome home is right. We have all been dying to meet you, baby aria. Look how perfect you are. And look at your mommies. You guys are all glowing.

Mariah: Aw.

Elena: Oh, my gosh. I know how much you both wanted to be a family and now look at you.

Tessa: Thanks, elena. I don’t think I could have done it without you. I mean, all your help and advice before the baby was born. I was just so worried about being unprepared.

[ Elena laughing ] But you totally calmed my nerves. You were so positive and reassuring. You were right, so far. And now aria is here and there’s just nothing that I wouldn’t do for her or for my family.

Elena: That’s because the three of you were meant to be together.

Elena: Oh, hug it out.

Tessa: Yeah, we did.

Nick: I know I’m not the most observant guy in the world, but even I could see the smudge of lipstick on nate’s neck. What about the button you missed there? And what in the hell is going on with your hair? Is that the way you normally wear it?

Victoria: Fine. You got me.

Nick: You think?

Victoria: Look, why are you freaking out about this? When you have other things that you should be concerned about. Why are you not focusing on your family right now?

Nick: You are my family. I care about you. You’re making a terrible mistake.

Victoria: Well, there you go again, making another leap without any evidence to back it up.

Nick: He is in a relationship, vic, with my friend.

Victoria: Yeah, yeah, I know. And you– you have a saintly past, free of guilt. Right, nick?

Nick: Well, he’s an executive here. He could have some ulterior motive. Maybe, uh, looking for some personal gain.

Victoria: What gain? That’s not nate. That’s not who he is. Look, if he was up to something, I would know it anyway.

Nick: Oh, like you saw everything that was going down with ashley?

Victoria: That was a completely different situation, and don’t you ever mention his name to me again. Do you understand?

Nick: [ Sighs ] Yes. Sorry. But this could be more of the same, you know?

Victoria: I’m not interested in your opinions or your judgment. I’m just not. I– I… you yourself had a relationship with the ceo of newman media, remember? And you– you firmly told me to stay out of it. And I have been nothing– nothing but respectful of your relationship with sally.

Nick: Yes. And I appreciate it.

Victoria: So, would you please show me the same courtesy? You told me to keep quiet about her pregnancy and that adam is the father and I have done that. So, please, do the same for me. Keep my private life private. Do you understand, nicholas? Now, if that’s everything, I– I have some things that I need to finish.

Nick: Start by brushing your hair.

Kyle: I get how this must look to you. I understand how desperate you must be for answers. But I know my mother. She isn’t capable of poisoning someone just to get them out of the way.

Summer: My mom is not just “someone.” Their hatred for each other goes back decades. As does their competition over jack.

Kyle: Oh, I know. I remember the story about the pool house. Dad had to have it rebuilt after my mom burned it down.

Summer: And she did it so that it looked like my mom tried to kill her. She wasn’t arrested or convicted back then, but everybody knew what happened.

Kyle: That really doesn’t matter. She’s not that person anymore. She has worked very hard to try to prove that to us, ever since she returned.

Summer: Our moms bring out the worst in each other. It’s obvious that some things never change. Or you know what? Maybe– maybe they actually do because this time it was way worse. Your mom was pushed past her limit, and she snapped.

Kyle: Oh, wait a minute. She didn’t–

Summer: No, kyle. Just listen to me. Okay? Hear me out. I’m not trying to make excuses for my mom’s behavior. God knows that I wish that she had gotten a grip on herself and stopped her obsession. Maybe then she would still be alive today. But she didn’T. She was gonna keep on pushing diane and undermining her at every turn, including in her relationship with jack, and diane knew it. She was done with my mom.

Kyle: But not to the point of trying to poison her.

Summer: No, it all came to a head the night of the gala, when they had that crazy fight. Diane said that she wanted to strangle my mom to death.

Kyle: Oh, that was a figure of speech. She didn’t mean it literally.

Summer: She could’ve easily poisoned her right after that. The last words that my mom said to me was that she needed to protect and defend herself against diane. She knew that diane would do anything to make her suffer. And even though she knew the threat that your mom posed to her, she wouldn’t stop. She kept on pushing and aggravating her. It’s just– it is so clear to me what happened. And kyle, I know that it is painful, but you need to open your eyes. There are times, I wonder…

Jeremy: Don’t you think for a second that you can go back. Oh, yeah, they’re shedding tears now. But what do you think will happen when they figure out that you faked the whole thing?

Phyllis: They’ll forgive me. Diane did it. They forgave her. She let her kid think that she was dead for years and years. Trust me, it’ll be fine. It’s only been a couple days.

Jeremy: You seem to be forgetting the point in all this. We put this in motion so we could see diane rot in prison. Meanwhile, you will be off someplace being a whole new person with not a care in the world.

Phyllis: How could I have not a care in the world, jeremy? When there are people out there that I love so much, who are in so much pain?

Jeremy: You seem to be ignoring the fact that we’re in this together. You made a commitment and I’m not about to let you blow everything up over some stupid sentiment.

Phyllis: My kids are not some stupid sentiment.

Jeremy: I mean, revealing your involvement would be revealing my involvement. Okay? And I can’t let that happen. So, if you’re having second thoughts, I suggest you get them out of that pretty little head of yours, before something happens to that pretty little head.

Phyllis: You think you scare me? Is that what you think? That I’m scared of you? You think you can give me orders and tell me what to do? You have no idea who you’re dealing with.

Kyle: All right. All right. I have heard you out. Now you have to listen to me. I swear my mother didn’t do this. I know that nothing can convince you of that right now. But the reality is, we don’t know what evidence the police have. I have no idea how strong their case really is or what we’re actually facing here. So, I am asking you to just let this play out. You will see my mother will be cleared and released.

Summer: Why are you so sure?

Kyle: Because I know there’s no way she could have done this. She didn’t like phyllis, everyone knew that. But she wouldn’t kill her. She isn’t capable. And after everything harrison has been through, I don’t want him to hear these horrible things about his deedee. So, I am asking you, summer, can you please keep an open mind for now? Can you do that for me?

Summer: For harrison’s sake, I will do whatever I can to protect him from the news. But you and I need to agree on a cover story for why diane is gone.

Kyle: I’m hoping it won’t be more than this one night. Her arraignment’s in the morning. I’m hoping that she will get released on bail.

Summer: That’s wishful thinking, don’t you think? The fact is, we don’t know how long it’s gonna be before diane comes back, if ever.

Nick: I thought I might find you here.

Nate: Why is that?

Nick: Figured you’d wanna take some time, you know, figure out what you want to say to elena before you go home.

Nate: I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about, nick.

Nick: See, I already played this game with victoria. I’m not doing it again. So, here’s the deal. I don’t know if it’s, uh, just a fling or if it’s been going on for a while.

Nate: Nick, it is not like that.

Nick: I don’t care. I don’t care, nate. I just need to make sure there’s no agenda here.

Nate: Nothing is going on, other than I have everything I could hope for heading newman media. Things couldn’t be better.

Nick: Oh, I bet. Here’s my concern. You had, uh, a tremendous position at chancellor-winters, but it wasn’t enough for you. You wanted more. So, what did you do? You turned your back on your family for your own selfish gain. And that tells me everything I need to know about you.

Nate: It wasn’t that simple.

Nick: Really? Well, maybe you can explain it to me someday. But as far as I’m concerned, your credibility is shot.

Nate: Wow. Well, if you came here to put me on some kind of notice, fine. Message received. But even though I work for newman media, my personal time is my own business.

Nick: Sure, it is. Until it’s my business.

Elena: Hey. Nick. Long time, no see. What are you guys talking about?

[ Nick clears throat ] (Vo) is she tired? Sad? Bored?

Tessa: Oh, I can’t get over how adorable she is.

Sharon: Ugh, her sweet little face. It’s like all is right in her own little world. Mariah, is everything okay?

Mariah: Yeah, I just– I still can’t believe the news about phyllis. We were about to take off on our flight and nick called us and told us what happened. I just can’t believe that she’s gone, and in such a terrible way.

Sharon: All the people she cared about, they’re all in so much pain right now.

Mariah: It’s why it feels so weird to be happy right now.

Sharon: Hey. You have nothing to feel guilty about and none of those people would want you to feel that way. They want you to relish all the happiness of the moment that you’ve been given. I mean, here you are home with your new baby and tessa, starting a new chapter in your life. And it’s a really special time. It goes by very fast.

Tessa: Aw.

Sharon: Aw, see, aria agrees. She’s already a very wise little girl.

Sally: That is the most precious little girl. It’s her big eyes and her plump little cheeks. I just wanna eat her up.

[ Both chuckling ]

Adam: Sounds like you’re falling in love with the idea of having a daughter.

Sally: Well, a daughter or a son. Either one would be amazing.

Adam: Well, we’re gonna find out soon enough, aren’t we? Thank you, again, for asking me to go with you to your appointment. A little daughter would be nice.

Sally: Finding out is gonna make this all the more real, isn’t it? It is crazy to think in a matter of months, this growing baby is just gonna be out in the world, hanging out in a car seat, just as adorable as little aria.

Adam: I cannot wait.

Nate: Unfortunately, nick didn’t drop in for a friendly visit.

Elena: Oh. What’s going on?

Nate: He seems to share your belief that I’m being consumed by power. And quite frankly, I’m tired of hearing it, on all fronts.

Nick: Well, the truth often hurts. And it gets old when you don’t want to admit it. All right. With that, I will say good night. Elena, it’s nice seeing you. You look beautiful. Nate’s a very lucky guy.

Elena: You wanna tell me what that’s about?

[ Door opening ]

Kyle: Hey, how was your meeting with christine? Any progress?

Jack: Uh, not much, I’m afraid. We’ll have to wait for the arraignment and hope for the best. How’s summer?

Kyle: She’s upstairs. But not in a good way, I’m sorry to say.

Jack: Wait, how so?

Kyle: She is locked into this belief about mom. She truly believes mom is to blame for phyllis’ death. Dad, I– I don’t know how I am going to handle this. I feel like I am caught between my wife and my mother. They both need my support, but they’re on complete opposite sides of the problem. How do I help without feeling disloyal?

Jack: No, you are definitely in a tough spot.

Kyle: Somehow, I have to convince my wife that my mother did not kill phyllis. Not only because I know for certain she is innocent, but because my marriage is at stake, dad. If I can’t accomplish that, I– how does my marriage survive?

Jack: Wait. Of course, you– don’t talk like that. We’ll– we will get her home. We will clear diane’s name. We will put all of this behind us.

Kyle: See, that’s the thing. Summer doubted mom will be freed anytime soon.

Jack: Yeah, christine said something like that, too.

Kyle: Something’s got to come to light to set the record straight, right? Mom has to come home soon.

Jack: I promise you, kyle, I am going to do everything in my power to prove diane’s innocence. We will do it together.

Kyle: Okay. Then we have to start by finding the truth.

Jack: That’s right. And we will not give up until we uncover it.

Phyllis: Let me tell you something. I am not an amateur and I’m not easily manipulated. If I have a problem with somebody, they get it. Let me tell you something else. I usually get away with it. Also, I’ve spent very, very little time behind bars, stark. So, who’s a smart one now? Okay? And if you’re half as smart as you say you are, you will get out of my way.

Jeremy: Okay. Okay. Let me tell you something. Huh? I’m not going back to prison. Do you understand me? You’re not gonna blow this for me. So, you’re going to do what you’re supposed to do. Go it?

Phyllis: Did you hear me? I don’t take orders from anyone. I’m not taking orders from you.

Jeremy: Wait a second. Is this some sort of a game for you?

Phyllis: It’s not my game. It is my life.

Jeremy: No. Wrong. You have no life. You are dead. Dead to the world. And you better keep it that way. So help me god, I will kill you myself. You got it?

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Tucker: I’m gonna sell my company and I’m gonna leave this town.

Ashley: Okay. So, now you’re threatening me.

Adam: Looks like you’ve, uh, been left out of the loop, dad. Sally’s having my baby and I’m still in love with her.

Michael: Last night I got a call from jack, asking me to represent diane.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Michael. You can’t defend the woman who killed one of your best friends.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 [Grunts] – Ten… 11– you got it? You wanna take a break? – No. I don’t need one. – Go easy, son. Last time you overdid it, you wound up at the hospital with a bum shoulder. – In fair, dad, only half of that was chase’s fault. The other half was brook lynn.

[Dramatic music] – I’m watching wiley and amelia while willow rests upstairs. Drop everything and get over here. I don’t care if you’re at the hair salon, okay? I have a critical mission for you, and you have to accept it. – Paul, you have an in at the coast guard, so I need you to find out whatever you can about the “haunted star.” Come on in. And allison, uh, I need you to do the same thing with government leads. If they’re credible, find them. Sorry, big news day. – Ah, no–no problem. That’s actually why I dropped by. Dante’s been working so hard on the investigation, but he hasn’t said anything about victor. Have you heard anything? – Yeah, the “haunted star” is gone from its mooring. There’s no accounting for it. They believe there’s hostages, three of them. That’s all I know. – Okay. Well, if anything new comes in, will you please keep me updated? – Mm-hmm. If you do the same for me. I heard you were in court this morning. What’s up?

– Trina is coming home, even if I have to bring her home myself. – Thank you. Thank you for being here and wanting to help find trina. – I can’t just sit around knowing all the danger that faces my daughter.

Your daughter.

– We’re friends as well as colleagues, laura. This plan you’ve been working on with robert and felicia to take down victor cassadine, what is it? And why the hell didn’t you tell me about it? – Anna was a fugitive at the time. If I had involved you, I would have compromised you. Okay, so we all talked about it, and we decided the smart thing to do would be to continue with the plan until we could find proof that it was victor who was behind luke’s death. – Okay, and how did that work out for you? – I knew that I was dealing with a dangerous man, okay? I didn’t know that he would disappear on the “haunted star” or that he would make my grandsons and dr. Obrecht and trina robinson all disappear with him.

– If you think I’m going to help you, you have truly lost

[Speaking german]. – [Laughs] Oh, I do love it when you speak german to me. Well, let’s be honest. You have done worse. And if you choose not to cooperate, I promise you, the consequences will be dire. – Ah! Ah! Oh! – You can say that again. – [Speaking german] – What are you doing? – You need obrecht for your plan to protect your family? No obrecht, no plan. – Don’t just sit there, victor. Do something!

– Have at it.

 

[Radar beeping, radio chatter] – What’s taking so long with that deflection, spencer?

[Quiet clattering]

– What was that?

[Dramatic music]

Hey.


– You had a reporter at the courthouse? – He said that cody bell was arrested for grand larceny and you bailed him out. Why? – Well, because cody’s dante’s friend, and he needed help. – So why didn’t dante help him? – ‘Cause he’s busy searching for victor. – So you thought you’d just step in? – Okay, if you wanna hear the full story, I’ll tell you the full story. Sasha gilmore had a very expensive bracelet on loan, and gladys corbin was wearing it at the time. And according to gladys, who is not the most reliable narrator, said that the bracelet just magically disappeared from her wrist. And said bracelet was found in the pocket of cody’s jacket, which he was not wearing at the time. – Mm, doesn’t mean he’s innocent.

[Dramatic music] – What happened to my mother, the lawyer, who believed all defendants were innocent until proven guilty? – She got disbarred. I was under the impression that you didn’t trust cody. – Mom, I told you that I’m handling this. You have enough to deal with. – Fine. Not gonna interfere where I’m not wanted.

– Do you really mean that? – I’m trying. You don’t want me involved in this business with cody, I won’t be involved. – Have you been hit on the head? – [Sighs] I’ve just been told off. – Oh. By gregory? – If I’m pushing myself, blame my nerves. The ccrb meets later today. – Your brother told me that brook lynn had something to do with you getting a second chance. – Brook lynn convinced the board to reconsider my case. – Well, that’s good news, right? – Maybe. Or maybe I wouldn’t have needed a second chance if brook lynn had submitted her letter of support the first time the board had met. – [Sighs] – This better be good. I had to skip the conditioning treatment. – Wow, your hair looks amazing. But we will talk about that at another time. How are james and georgie doing? – Well, I had to tell them that their oma disappeared because she wanted their magic act to be a success. Georgie didn’t buy it, but james believes it, so georgie is pretending to believe it too. – I’m so sorry about liesl. I know how much you care about her. This must be driving you nuts. – I just can’t believe it’s happening. I keep telling myself mac and the pcpd are gonna leave no stone unturned, and if anyone can take care of themself, it’s liesl. – Well, she is a formidable woman. – Yeah, but still, victor cassadine, he’s a scary guy. And how long can willow wait for the bone marrow transplant? – Speaking of willow, you are going to plan her wedding to michael. – You always really cared for trina. – Trina is a remarkable young woman. I was looking forward to being a part of her family… officially. – You are. Curtis, you are a part of her family. And trina– trina and I are very lucky that we have you on our side. We are.

– All that matters is that we get her home safely. I’m gonna see if jordan is still here. – Okay.

– Hey. Will you be okay? – I refuse to fall apart, but I am far from okay. – I feel you.

– [Exhales deeply] Please, please, please.

[Radar beeping, radio chatter]

– [Over radio]

Security main cabin. Repeat, all security units to main cabin.

– Now what? – Put the knife down, spencer. – You think I’m bluffing… – stop being ridiculous! – That I won’t kill her? Do not underestimate me, victor! I will do anything to save my brother from you. – Don’t you understand, dear boy? If you kill dr. Obrecht, you simply seal your baby brother’s fate.


– Back up. Michael and willow rescheduled their wedding until after the bone marrow transplant. They’re getting married in july. – Because willow’s bone marrow transplant was supposed to be today. – Oh, my god. She doesn’t think she’s gonna make it until liesl gets home. – No one knows when liesl’s gonna be found. – Or if she will. – Maxie, stay positive, okay? Liesl will be found, but I understand willow’s concern. She and michael want to be married. They don’t want to risk waiting, so they’re moving it up. – Okay, yeah. I’ll help in any way that I can. What are they thinking, end of the month? – Tomorrow. – I’m sorry, what? – Too soon, I know, but everyone’s pitching in, and it’s gonna be the most beautiful day ever, but we need you. – To plan a wedding in less than 24 hours. – Well, you planned the nurses’ ball in record time. – [Laughs] Shall I count all the ways that that went wrong? – Count all the ways that it went right. Look, you synced the nurses’ ball with gh’s 60th anniversary. Compared to that, planning a romantic wedding in less than 24 hours is a literal piece of cake. – [Huffs] Brew some coffee. Make it strong. I’ll plan this wedding, come hell or high water. Oh, god. – I’m sorry I brought up brook lynn. – Forget it. Who wants to do more reps? – Oh, no thanks. – Dad? – What your brother said. – Come on, you’ve barely broken a sweat today. – Uh , ’cause I don’t needto actively avoid my feelings. – Why does he care so much about me and brook lynn? – I don’t know. Maybe because he loves you? – [Laughs] I love both my boys, and I want them both to be happy. So sue me. – Brook lynn did make me happy. She also hurt and disappointed me. She held off on writing her letter of support because she didn’t want me to get my badge back. She wanted me to focus on music. Supposedly, the plan was for us to expose her music manager as a predator so he couldn’t extort or harass any other women, and for brook lynn to get her songs back. Instead, she signed a nondisclosure agreement with linc. He gave her her songs back, and she agreed to keep quiet. Brook lynn sold out. – Yeah, that’s pretty tough to get past. – From what I understand, brook lynn more than redeemed herself at the nurses’ ball. She broke the nondisclosure agreement, correct? She outed this linc brown as a serial harasser. – She did. And I respect that. But as long as I’ve known her, brook lynn has always put her own interests first and apologized afterward. And no matter what I feel about her, I can’t trust her.

– Gregory and I had a run-in. – Another one? – Yeah, compounded on top of the mess that I made the first time when I went to his boss behind his back. – Okay, mom, well, maybe you shouldn’t have called his boss. But you were just trying to help. And that’s what a good friend would do. – Speaking of friends, let’s go back to cody. Dante seems to know as much about cody as he doesn’t know about cody. – Ah-ah, no, no, no. I told you I am dealing with this. So we’re talking about gregory now. What–what ever happened? Did he have a drinking problem? – Gregory doesn’t have a drinking problem. – Okay. Well, I know that you’ve been really concerned for him. If not a drinking problem, then what is it?

– I know better than anyone that the best of intentions can have unforeseen results. And while I’m not thrilled that you chose not to involve the pcpd, I do understand. But things have changed. And I need you to keep me in the loop. – Okay. Felicia is tracking someone down who may be able to help us to find victor. – Okay. Who is it? And does she need backup? – Not yet. You’ll be the first to know if they do. I mean, all hands on deck. – Well, if that’s the case, count me in.

– Without liesl, your, uh, plan is a nonstarter. If she’s not around to devise a vaccine, you risk your own life as well as me and my brother’S. – A sacrifice I’m willing to make. – [Laughs] Now who’s bluffing? – All that matters is that the world is set to right. So go ahead. Kill liesl. Are you willing to risk that your baby brother will be able to survive what’s coming next? His blood will be on your hands.

– Fine. – Ah!

Schwein!

[Panting] – Cover the exits. Your move, spencer.

– Agh! Cassadines are demented. One has me abducted, the other holds me at knifepoint.

[Speaking german] Is too good for the pair of you. – I knew you’d see reason. Get rid of him.

 

[Static buzzes] – No, come on. Please be what I think you are.

[Device beeps]


Ah.Let’s do that. I’ll be in touch. – Well? – It’s a little early, but she has peonies. – Oh, good. – She can do all the arrangements and the rose petals for the flower girl. – Oh, flower girls plural, donna and avery. The only family member not slated to participate in the wedding is amelia.

[Scoffs] – Is olivia gonna bake the cake? – Oh, try and stop her. She is determined to cook all of the food for this wedding. – That’s really sweet. – Yeah. – And I’m sure it will all be delicious. We just–we need something to elevate the occasion, you know, make it special. Do you think it’s too late to get monogrammed napkins from portugal? – Why don’t we just– let’s just take some of the pressure out of this thing. Hey, all willow really wants is a joyful and happy day with her friends and family. – I got it! A special song just for them. You could write it, chase could perform it. – Oh, I’d be happy to write a song for willow and michael, but I don’t think chase would perform it. – Why not? It’s for willow. – Yeah, but that means he’d have to work with me.

[Dramatic music] – People have the capacity to change. In fact, history has shown us– – dad, please, no–no lectures. Just–all right. – Okay. All I’m saying is that brook lynn made a huge personal sacrifice when she exposed linc. She put other people ahead of herself when she ignored the nda and outed him. Doesn’t that show she’s changed? – Brook lynn has a big heart, no question. I mean, it’s–it’s why I fell in love with her. But I already told you, she has a habit of acting on her worst impulses and hurting everyone around her. – Sounds like you made up your mind about her. – Oh, come on, don’t make me sound like the bad guy. – No, I’m not saying that, harry, it’s just I thought I taught my sons to be open to second chances. – Yes. Yes, you did. So when does alexis get hers?

– Gregory told me in no uncertain terms that his life is none of my business, and that whatever it is that he’s going through, he’s determined to go through it alone. – Okay, well, you know, sometimes people need to figure things out for themselves. Maybe the best thing that you can do right now is just offer gregory your support and trust that he will reach out to you if he needs you. – Mm, no. He won’T. – [Sighs] And it drives you crazy, doesn’t it? Because you see someone that needs help, and you want to help them. – Yeah, it’s a curse. That’s why I became a lawyer. – Well, he doesn’t need a lawyer and he doesn’t need your help. So why can’t you just let this go? – Because it doesn’t matter what he says. He does need my help. As far as I know, I’m the only one that knows he’s got a problem. So what am I supposed to do, just sit back and do nothing?

– I will do anything to make sure trina makes it home safely.

[Cell phone ringing] – Whoops. Oh. Sorry, I need to take this. Mayor collins. – I appreciate the offer, curtis. – But… – victor cassadine is dangerous. – Right, and he has trina. Believe me, he will not see me coming. – Just trust that we have every available resource looking for victor and his hostages. If there’s something you can do, I will let you know. – Jordan, jordan, jordan. – Curtis, the truth is, there’s not a lot any of us can do right now. We don’t even know where to look for the “haunted star,” so for now, it’s just best that you just sit tight. – Not while trina’s in trouble. If you won’t let me help the pcpd, there are others I can turn to. – Oh, what, like sonny corinthos or selina wu?

– [Choked up] Patient entered the er, um, complaining of stomach pains and nausea.

[Clears throat] Ultrasound indicated that, um…

 

[Crying]

[Cell phone ringing]

[Sniffles] Hello? – Mom, it’s me. – Trina?


– Trina. Oh, thank god. Where are you, honey? We’ve been so worried about you.

[Dramatic music] – I’m on the “haunted star.” Spencer’s uncle, victor, took spencer, the baby, and dr. Obrecht. He’s taking them somewhere. – And they took you too? Honey, honey, are you okay? How are you calling me right now? – He doesn’t know that I’m here. I followed spencer and snuck onboard. Mom, I don’t know where we are. I need your help. – Okay, honey, hang on, hang on. He-help is on the way. – I don’t understand. You outed that creep, linc, at the nurses’ ball. – But what does that have to do with me and chase? – Well, I saw the look on chase’s face when you laid into that skeevy manager. He was so proud of you. I just assumed when it was all over, he would sweep you into his arms and say all is forgiven. – Look, I didn’t break my nda and expose linc to get back together with chase, maxie, okay? I–I did it because I could not keep quiet for another second and let that creep exploit another woman. – And that is a side of you that chase has not seen before. I know you didn’t out linc for chase, but it is what chase wanted. And maybe now he realizes that his life is empty without you, and you guys can live happily ever after. – I let him down too many times. He thinks I’m selfish. – Oh, brook lynn. You are selfish. – Oh, the pot calling the kettle black. – Selfish with good intentions. You always do the right thing in the end. You just make some questionable decisions along the way. Chase knew that, and he fell in love with you anyway. He will again. – I doubt it. The ccrb meeting is today, and chase will get his life back. A life I’m not a part of. – I think finn has a point, dad. – Your situation with brook lynn was completely different from mine with alexis. – Of course. Of course it is. Uh, wait, how? – Because my relationship with alexis was never romantic. – Ah. – Love doesn’t come along often, son. I hate to see you throw it away. – Love is more complicated than friendship. It requires complete vulnerability to trust another person with your heart. I don’t know what alexis did that was so bad that you can’t be friends anymore. – In all the time we’ve been together, have I ever been drunk in your company? – No. No. Will you please explain to me why you got fired from– – ah! I–

[Huffs] I wasn’t fired. I quit. – I can see that something is really wrong here. Will you please let me help you? – Alexis…

[Sighs] Alexis overstepped. Chase claims that brook lynn violated his trust. Well, alexis did the same to me. – Okay, I–I really don’t want to get in the middle of this. – But you will because alexis is your friend. – Listen, I’ll only say that alexis oversteps because… she is who she is. She won’t be deterred when she thinks she’s doing the right thing. But I think she’s also proven that can respect boundaries. – That hasn’t been my experience. – Have you given her the chance to show you that she can?

– You know, sometimes that’s what a good friend is all about, just waiting for them to come to you. – I’m not very good at waiting for people to come to me. Just doesn’t feel natural. – [Chuckles] – I don’t have a lot of good friends. But the ones that I have, I have this connection with. And gregory and I have a connection. We have common interests, common ethics, common worldviews. And he’s been very supportive of me, so I wanted to return the favor. And when I did, I sort of destroyed whatever connection we did have. So maybe, uh, we didn’t have as solid a friendship as I thought.

– Are you accusing me of something, jordan? – Hey, we’re all on the same side, right? – Right. – I promise, you’ll be the first I tell if you can help. But I’m asking you, for now, just to back off before you get yourself in too deep. If something were to happen to you… – it’s trina! I have trina on the phone. – Oh, my god. – Where is she? – She’s on the “haunted star” like we were afraid of. – Put her on speaker. – Okay. – Trina, this is commissioner ashford. I’m here with curtis and mayor collins. – I’m so glad my mom found you. Um, I’m calling on a satellite phone.

We’re in open water. I don’t know where we are or where victor’s taking us. – Trina, are you okay? Is spencer and ace okay?

– Yes.

Um, victor doesn’t know I’m on the ship, and– and he has spencer and dr. Obrecht under armed guard. – I’ll call it to pinpoint the location of your phone. – I’m not sure how long I have before the guards come back. – Trina, only stay on the phone as long as you safely can.

– I was trying to find a radio

to call for help, but it doesn’t seem to be working. – Are you in the communications room now? – I think so. Um, there’s a lot of equipment here, but I don’t know what it does. – But you do, don’t you? – That ship was my wedding gift.

– [Grunts] What is the meaning of this? I didn’t do anything. – My great-nephew reminded me that one can’t be too careful. You disappointed me, spencer. – The feeling is mutual. I trusted you, uncle victor. And then you tricked me into meeting you here on this ship. You have abducted my baby brother. You have abducted britt’s mother. And what’s worse is you want to unleash hell on all of humanity, including the people that I love. – Tsk, tsk. I had hoped you’d have the stomach for this. Turns out you’re just as weak as your father. – I am not weak. But there has to be another way. You said it yourself, dr. Obrecht is brilliant. And I think that between the three of us, we can come up with a solution that would be amicable to everyone here. – And just why would I believe anything you say now, hm? You betrayed me, spencer. You have to face the consequences.



– take dr. Obrecht back to her cabin. I prefer to deal with my family in private.

[Dramatic music]

I’ll have all the information I’ve collected on the pathogen sent to your cabin so you can see I’m right. Oh, spencer, spencer, spencer. This gives me no pleasure. – Forgive me for not believing you. – Why can’t you understand that love of family has always been my driving force? It really hurts me that you can’t see that I’m not doing this to you, but for you and your brother! – Let’s work together. – Oh, it’s way too late for that now. You’ve left me no choice. – You can’t kill me, uncle victor. Whether you like it or not, you need me just as much as you need liesl. With my father and valentin out of the picture, I am your heir. – [Scoffs] – Well, now, you see, you’re half right. I do have an heir… and a spare.

[Sighs] I’ve allowed my love of family to cloud my judgment too long. All of you have forgotten what it is to be a cassadine. But it’s not too late for the baby. I’ll raise him and educate him as a cassadine. – Over my dead body. – [Laughs] That can be arranged.

– Trina, I haven’t been in the communications room in years, but from what I remember, there was a radar screen. It shows a round circle in the center. There’ll be some lines through it. Can you see something like that?

[Whispering] Get ready. – I see it.

– Great. Okay, in the upper-right-hand corner of the screen, there will be some numbers. Do you see something that looks like coordinates? – Yeah, yeah, I do. Um… 43 degrees, 42.7 north. 89 degrees, 41.1 west. – Um… – they could be the coordinates from the gps device victor tied to the buoy. – Trina, can you find a heading? – A heading?

– Honey, it’s the numbers right at the very top. – 29.369 degrees. – I’ll update it.

– All clear.

All units return to post. – I gotta go. I’ll call you back. – No, no, trina, trina. – No, no, no, honey. – Okay, is that the only satellite phone there? – Uh, I think so. – They’ll notice it’s missing. Whatever you do, do not take it with you. – Got it. – Trina, honey, it’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna find you. – Mom? – I’m here. I’m here. – I love you. – I love you too. Now please, just be very, very careful. – I will.

[Dramatic music] – [Breathing shakily]

 

[Consoles beeping]

[Indistinct radio chatter] – Mom, if a friend truly knows you, eventually, they’re gonna realize that you have good intentions, and they will come back to you. – Well, I’m not sure it even matters what he thinks about me because I’m worried about him regardless. And I wish that he would talk to his sons about whatever this is, and if he would listen to me, I would tell him that when you cut your children out of your life, that it just causes you more misery. – Wait. Mom, gregory told you what’s really going on, didn’t he?

[Melancholy music] Okay, well, then maybe, just– maybe he’s gonna come around. – I doubt highly that I’m ever gonna see him again. – [Sighs] I’M… I am so sorry.

Are you gonna be okay? – It’ll take more than this to keep me down.

– I’m gonna take a shower and go pick up violet. Good luck in the meeting, bro. I’m rooting for you. – Thanks. – Sorry I pushed you. I just thought brook lynn was good for you. – I know. I thought alexis was good for you. – I enjoyed our friendship. Just wish things were different. – Look, I should hit the showers. I don’t wanna be late for the ccrb. – What? – I just realized, if all goes well, I’m gonna be the one who’s seeing more of alexis. – How so? – Well, not only is she a journalist, but the pcpd’s biggest case is tracking down her uncle victor because he kidnapped her nephews. – Yeah, I heard. – I’m sure she’s anxious to hear news about her family.

[Somber music] Anyway, I’ll see you.

– Chase and I were friends, but we didn’t get close until after he was suspended– because of me. – You didn’t ask chase to punch a civilian, let alone two. – But with linc and valentin, I was in a situation of my own making, and chase, you know, stepped in to defend me. – Because he cares. – Yeah, and that caring cost him a lot. And now he has a chance to be a detective again and reclaim his old life and everything he had in it before I came along. – But what you and chase had was real. – Until I messed it up… more than once. – Look, you tried to make it up to him, okay? You wrote that letter to the ccrb. – True. – So why are you giving up now? – I shouldn’t even be thinking about getting back together with chase. I mean, what I really owe him is helping him get his badge back. – I think you’ve done all you can do there. – I don’t know. Maybe there’s more I can do. – All right, then what are you waiting for? Go to that meeting. I’ll stay here with willow and amelia. I’ll work on wedding prep until michael gets back. – There’s still one more thing. What if I’m the last person chase wants to see? – [Sighs]


– It is working on the coordinates trina gave us. – Do you have any idea how long it’s gonna take them to find my daughter? – Portia, listen to me, honey. Trina can do this. The fact that she has evaded victor for this long– it actually gives her and spencer a little bit of an advantage here. – Think about this: Trina snuck onto the “haunted star” without being noticed. That’s brave. And it is that level of courage that will carry her through. – I just pray that this nightmare will be over soon.

[Dramatic music] – Come on, sweetie. – [Sobs] – Double the guards outside dr. Obrecht’s room. She’s a brilliant woman and not easily intimidated. She’s bound to try to escape. All right, time to go. – If you wanted me dead, you’d have killed me already. – Of course I don’t want you dead, spencer. It would pain me no end to harm family. Well, call me sentimental. But I cannot allow your transgressions to go unpunished, so from now on, consider yourself my prisoner. – What have I been until this point? – You will no longer be afforded the privileges of family, including food. – You’re gonna starve me? – Oh, trust me, this won’t hurt you nearly as much as you’ve hurt me.

[Dramatic music] Watkins, take him to his cabin.

– Get in here. – Is one of the walkies missing? – Mm-hmm.

 

[Melancholy music] – I can see that something is really wrong here. Will you please let me help you?

– Alexis… I’m sick.

– [Sighs]

Come in.

– [Sighs]

– [Sighs] – Brook lynn. – Right on time.

[ Relaxing music ]

[ Steffy laughing ]

Liam: Wait, did I– is that– go back, go back.

Steffy: Here.

Liam: Did she– she pushed that kid. Kelly pushed that kid over.

Steffy: What can I say? Our daughter loves a scavenger hunt. But she did share her prize with all the other kids.

Liam: Aw.

Steffy: She is such a determined little girl.

Liam: Yeah, she is. Now, who– who does that remind me of?

Steffy: I don’t know. It’s so weird. Yeah, she’s my mini-me for sure.

Liam: Thank you for that. I needed, uh, to laugh a little.

Steffy: Are you still stressing over thomas?

Liam: No. No, I’m not– it’s not that I’m– I– okay, maybe a little bit. I just– I want to support hope, right. I want to support her decision-making. I just– yeah, I don’t know if– if I can trust thomas around her here.

Thomas: I am so thankful for you and you being willing to give me another chance in your life and it’s just, it’s a testament to the kind of person that you really are. What did you decide on the fringe, hope?

Hope: Uh, huh? What?

Thomas: The, uh, the camel coat we talked about?

Hope: Oh, right. Um, right.

Thomas: Hope.

Hope: What?

Thomas: Is everything okay?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Taylor: I am loving the menu here. Everything is just amazing, right? It’s, um, it’s decadent in all the best ways.

Brooke: And the company’s not so bad either.

Taylor: Very true. And the company’s about to get even better.

Hollis: Well, hello, ladies.

Brooke: Hi, hollis.

Taylor: Hi.

Hollis: It’s good to see you, both of you.

Taylor: Oh– oh, I exist today.

Hollis: How’s everything?

Brooke: Uh, the food is fabulous.

Hollis: Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying yourselves.

Taylor: I’m glad that brooke suggested that we come here. This has actually become one of our favorite restaurants. I can’t imagine why.

Hollis: I’ll send over some dessert later, on the house.

Taylor: Oh, that’s very sweet. So, do you, uh, send dessert over to all your return customers?

Hollis: Just the extra special ones.

Customer: Hey, hollis. I had a question about the wine list. I’m looking for something kind of smooth and velvety. Maybe stop by my table when you get a chance.

Hollis: Sure. Yeah.

Customer: Thanks.

Taylor: Mm, smooth and velvety.

Brooke: I guess some people come here for more than just the food and the wine.

Taylor: Yeah, I bet most of the customers come here to flirt with hollis, just like that one was doing.

Hollis: I didn’t notice. There’s only one woman who’s got my attention.

Steffy: Everyone is in a really good place, including my brother.

Liam: That’s what I keep hearing.

Steffy: Your skepticism makes sense. Thomas has given you a million reasons not to trust him. I get it.

Liam: But– but to your point, that’s the thing. I trust hope.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Liam: That should be the most important thing. So, what’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just focus on the fact that my wife knows what’s good for herself?

Steffy: Because you’re trying to protect someone you care deeply about. We all do that. I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t believe it. And I wouldn’t have pushed hope to work with thomas if I had seen any red flags.

Thomas: Are you okay?

Hope: Me? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s fine.

Thomas: You sure?

Hope: Yeah. It’s just, remember that conversation earlier?

Thomas: About crazy thoughts?

Hope: Yeah, I just– I might be having one of those moments. Man: I’m not slowing down anytime soon.

Taylor: Okay. All right. I know that you weren’t ready then, but I can see that you’re excited. I– let’s– let’s just review the highlights of your– of your dinner with hollis, okay? Okay, you had a gorgeous guy over. You laughed a lot and you made out.

Brooke: I wouldn’t say made out.

Taylor: Yes, you’re the one that said it was hot.

Brooke: It was.

Taylor: See, that’s what I’m talking about. I mean, I guess first kisses are always great, right?

Brooke: Especially with hollis.

Taylor: See, that’s the look I’m talking about. I–

[ Taylor clearing her throat ]

Hollis: Can I get you ladies anything?

Taylor: Um, I am good. Brooke, are you sure there’s not anything you want?

Brooke: No. No, I’m fine, thank you.

Hollis: Oh, brooke, you are so much more than fine. You are absolutely beautiful.

Taylor: Oh, would you look at that? I have a client that I need to call.

Brooke: Taylor. I’m– I’m sorry, she’s being so obvious.

Hollis: No, it’s okay, I actually kind of liked it. Do you mind if I sit for a minute?

Brooke: Sure. Go ahead.

Hollis: It’s really nice to see you, brooke.

Brooke: It’s nice to see you, hollis.

Hollis: Look, I know I should probably be playing this a little more cool, but um, god, I can’t stop thinking about you.

Brooke: Really? Really?

Steffy: You are in a tough position. You’re trying to honor hope’s wishes, respect her career while trying to keep her safe and your marriage healthy.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I just don’t want thomas taking advantage of her kindness and generosity.

Steffy: And that’s a valid concern because he has in the past.

Liam: Yeah, well, I mean, he’s manipulated all of us at one point or another. But that’s– that’s– that’s why I have a hard time believing he’s just like, cured now. Like all of a sudden, he’s a well-adjusted stand-up guy.

Steffy: If it’s any consolation, he is laser-focused on work. He’s trying to put out the best line possible. And honestly, I don’t sense any weirdness from thomas towards hope.

Liam: Really? I– okay, I’m glad to hear you say that because the guy is getting to spend a lot of time alone with my wife. Oh, my god, listen to me right now. Like I sound so jealous.

Steffy: But you’re– but you’re not. You’re just a nurturing, concerned husband. There’s a big difference and hope understands that. She appreciates it. She appreciates you. We all do.

Thomas: You know I’ve had, uh, I’ve had my fair share of wild thoughts in the past. When your– your mind starts racing, your heart starts beating and I don’t know, it feels like you have this overwhelming anxiety. But I– I’m sure that my version of wild thought and our version of wild thought are very different. But, uh, now, I’m not thinking those kind of thoughts anymore, right. My wild thoughts are having to do with pushing the envelope when it comes to design, right? Like, uh, what do I do with the neckline? And if I do this, is it too much, right? If I add a sequin here, is that too much? If I– if I put ruffles here, is everyone gonna go mad?

Hope: Well, of course, they are because everybody hates ruffles. Don’t you know that?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Thomas: No, that was great. That was great. I’m so glad that we can laugh like this and you’re comfortable enough around me, you know? Um, there was a while where I wanted it all with you and um, now I’m just– I realize that what we have, it’s more than enough. I am so grateful you’re in my life.

Hope: I’m grateful for you too, thomas.

…I’m over 45.

Hollis: Look, brooke, I’m sorry if I’m being too forward, I am, but I had a really great time with you. And I know we only hung out once. And for all I know, it was some silly dare that taylor put you up to. And everyone says that ridge is your– your true love, but I don’t know. At the end of that night, that kiss that we shared, I’ve never experienced a kiss like that before.

Brooke: Oh, come on, hollis. You have girls falling at your feet everywhere flirting with you, like that– smooth and velvety back there.

Hollis: Yeah, well, what about you, brooke? I mean, come on, you’re this world-famous fashion industry icon. You got men falling at your feet left and right.

Brooke: Please, that’s nonsense.

Hollis: No, no, it’s not.

Steffy: I’ll need a report from international by tomorrow. Okay. Yes, absolutely. Yes, pilar will get back to me with a report. Mm-hmm. And a proposal. Yes. Yes, she will. Yeah, come on in. All department heads need to report to me. Thank you. Okay, bye bye.

Hope: You didn’t need to get off the phone.

Steffy: No, no, it’s fine, I was just finishing up.

Hope: Okay. Um, well, I actually was wondering if we could schedule a meeting to go over hope for the future’s latest designs because your brother is on quite the roll.

Steffy: That’s awesome. Yeah, he is really coming through for us.

Hope: He is. I mean, honestly steffy, I haven’t seen him this inspired in– well, ever, really.

Steffy: So, how are things outside of work?

Hope: Oh, uh, well, douglas being home has been wonderful, so thank you again for taking such great care of him.

Steffy: Absolutely, of course. And um, you and liam? I know that liam has some issues with you and thomas collaborating.

Hope: Yes and I wish that weren’t the case.

Steffy: I know, but he loves you and he’s just looking out for you and the kids.

Hope: No, I know. I know he means well. I just– I don’t think he’s ever going to be convinced that thomas isn’t the man that he used to be.

Steffy: Yeah, actually I– I was just– I was talking to liam and that is something he is struggling with.

Hope: Well, I mean, everyone has seen the leaps and bounds that thomas has made. I mean, not just me, but I know you’ve seen it. I mean, everyone here at work.

Steffy: Yeah, thomas is coping very nicely. Like he’s working well under pressure and honestly, I don’t see any of his old patterns re-emerging. And trust me, I am looking very closely.

Hope: Mm. And you made that clear to my husband?

Steffy: I told liam he has nothing to be concerned about when it comes to you and thomas. I’m right, aren’t I?

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey.

Liam: Hey.

Thomas: Uh, if you’re looking for hope, I think she’s in with my sister.

Liam: Uh, no, actually I’m uh, here for you.

Thomas: Oh, all right. Uh, what’s up? Uh, here, my new design. You wanna check it– check it out?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. That’s really good.

Thomas: Thanks. Um, I– I appreciate that. It’s– we’re trying some new things, you know. This is like a much more comfortable vibe and not just obviously with the– with the designs, but with the artistic process, everything. It’s like a whole new everything.

Liam: Including you?

Thomas: Yeah, I mean, I– I feel like I’m a completely different person. But you’re not buying it?

Liam: No, it’s– it’s not that, it’s just– it’s a little convenient, you know, given the last time and the time before.

Thomas: Well, hopefully at some point we can only focus on the future and not constantly be looking in the past.

Liam: Yeah, that’s actually, I was– I was just talking to steffy about this.

Thomas: Speaking of someone that, um, I’ve been growing with. I mean, I think, uh– hopefully, I’ve repaired our relationship a little bit. Um, she seems happy about my progress and– and also with my family, there’s progress there too.

Liam: Yeah, she’s, uh– she’s really proud of you, thomas. She’s been a big advocate for you and she– she has reassured me that I don’t have anything to worry about when it comes to you and hope working together. I guess that’s why I’m here. I just, um… wanted to hear it from you. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Hollis: Look, brooke. All I’m trying to say is that you’ve been on my mind a lot since our dinner. And I know you said you didn’t want anything serious right now.

Brooke: I just got out of my marriage.

Hollis: Which I totally respect, but at least let me take you on a proper dinner date.

Brooke: You don’t have to do that, hollis.

Hollis: Yeah, but I– I want to. There’s this place in topanga I’ve been wanting to try. We’ll keep it totally casual. No pressure. I just feel like there’s a lot more here that we can explore. I know there is. What do you say? One kiss from brooke logan just isn’t enough.

Thomas: You got nothing to worry about.

Liam: Yeah, it’s just– it’s one thing to say that, but–

Thomas: No, I understand you’re– you’re apprehensive, especially after what you walked in on the other day.

Liam: Oh, you mean you and hope on the couch with your hands all over my wife.

Thomas: That is not what happened, okay? We were working together, I was making adjustments, she was on the riser and she fell into–

Liam: Thomas, I know. I– I understand that now. I just hope you can understand why I would have assumed the worst in the moment.

Thomas: Yeah, I get it. After everything that we’ve been through. Um, but I’m committed to who I am now, all right. I’m not gonna be backsliding into the old thomas and– and I am focused 100% on– on never jeopardizing what I have with hope now.

Liam: I’m trying so hard to believe that.

Thomas: I know that my word may not mean that much to you, but I am being 100% honest. My focus now is on the line, my relationship with hope as friends, as co-parents. I think we’re creating a great family for douglas in the way that we haven’t and we’re working well together here, okay? But I am not gonna be going after hope in any way. Making any moves on her, all right? And even if she came on to me, I would say no.

Liam: Okay, see that right there. Do you– do you hear what you’re saying? Do you see why that would worry me? That you’re entertaining that? Hope coming on to you as a plausible scenario. Thomas, hope is not going to be coming on to you because that is ridiculous.

Thomas: Of course not because she is fully committed to you and your marriage.

Steffy: So there’s no reason to worry about you and thomas, right?

Hope: No, of course not.

Steffy: Okay. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to hear you say that because I do feel as though my brother has changed.

Hope: I agree.

Steffy: I just think it’s important that we stay professional and avoid conflict.

Hope: I would love that because I– I don’t want any problems either.

Steffy: I would love that too and I mean, look at our moms. They’re kind of paving the way for us.

Hope: I know. I think they’re actually having lunch together.

Steffy: I think they are. It’s really nice that they’ve been able to move past their differences and come to a place of understanding. I really hope that we can do that too.

Hope: I would love that. I think it would be also really nice for the kids.

Steffy: Yeah, it would. And I’m– you know, I’m happy. I’m– I’m in love with finn and you’re in love with liam and I really do feel as though this is how things are supposed to be. Not to say things weren’t difficult at first.

Hope: Yeah, things were tough at times.

Steffy: Yeah, many times, especially when liam married you and we had our daughter, but it was tough, but I found finn. And I am absolutely in love with him and I just know he is my forever and I know liam is your forever.

Rafe says just a normal amount and asks why she asked. Jada says no reason. Jada tells Rafe that she wanted to apologize for leaving so abruptly yesterday. Rafe says it’s all good. Jada is glad because she loves her job and working for him, so the last thing she wants is for things to be awkward between them. Rafe then imagines Jada in more provocative clothing and asks why it would ever be awkward. Jada reminds Rafe that they talked about the department policy and how they have to obey the rules. Rafe complains about the guys who make those rules. Jada points out that the new policy came directly from the mayor. Rafe says he loves Abe but he’s not a cop anymore, so he doesn’t think he gets them anymore. Jada doesn’t follow. Rafe talks about how they work long shifts and overnights. Rafe declares that they risk their lives every day to make sure the city is safe and if they feel comfort in each others’ arms, then they should just go for it regardless of the policy. Jada asks if he’s okay. Rafe says he’s great and better than ever but he doesn’t think they should let the man dictate their lives. Rafe continues to imagine Jada being dressed differently and tells her how good she looks dressed like that. Jada questions what is going on as Rafe moves in and surprises Jada by grabbing her and kissing her.

Johnny awkwardly greets Wendy and says he didn’t see her there. Wendy questions if she saw what she thinks she saw and if Johnny really just proposed to Chanel. Johnny laughs that he thinks he did and asks what the problem is. Wendy questions him not seeing the problem in proposing to his ex-wife while he’s dating her. Johnny remarks that she never said they were exclusive. Chanel points out that he could have at least given her a heads up. Wendy tells Chanel to stay out of it. Johnny asks why she’s so bent out of shape when she’s dating Tripp.

Stefan and Melinda kiss in bed. Stefan sees her as Gabi and says he can’t wait to make love to her so Melinda tells him to take her right now. Stefan then suddenly snaps out of it and questions what Melinda is doing in his bed and what the hell happened to Gabi.

Li questions why Gabi is calling him Stefan. Gabi continues talking to Li like he’s Stefan and says she’s never going to let him go. Li plays along with it so Gabi says she loves him and wants him. Gabi kisses Li and then says she wants Stefan to take her to bed. Gabi heads to the bedroom, so Li follows her in.

Nicole and Eric go to Eric’s room as they are both drugged. Eric removes his clothes and talks about not knowing why he was dressed like a priest. Nicole says she was glad she was there to help and says she’ll have to get his clothes to the cleaners. Eric then imagines Nicole in a bikini and they talk about having no idea how that happened. Eric brings up how she used to model for Bella magazine and suggests they take pictures for old times sake. Eric then grabs a nearby banana and pretends it’s a camera to take pictures of her. Eric tells Nicole that she looks amazing. They talk about loving being on the beach.

Rafe kisses Jada until she pushes him off and questions what the hell he’s doing right as Sloan walks in to the office. Sloan says she’d like to know the answer to that too. Rafe questions Sloan not knocking. Sloan remarks that if they wanted to be alone, he should’ve locked the door. Jada tells Sloan that it’s not what it looks like. Sloan says what it looks like is that the police commissioner was coming onto Jada and she’s not happy about it. Sloan warns that Rafe just committed a very serious crime. Rafe mocks Sloan and argues that he’s innocent but slurs his words. Rafe asks what Sloan wants. Sloan reminds Rafe that she was summoned here after Jada raided her home. Sloan adds that she brought her phone as asked. Jada says she’ll have a team examine it right away. Sloan notes that she won’t find anything on it connecting her to Paulina and her alleged harassment. Jada argues that there’s nothing alleged about it since Paulina did receive a threatening text message. Sloan says it was not from her. Rafe touches Jada which Sloan calls the real harassment. Sloan says it looks like she came at a bad time and goes to leave but Jada reminds her to give her phone. Sloan warns that when her search comes up empty, she can be prepared to face a lawsuit because she’s really getting sick of this. Sloan hands over her phone to Jada while Rafe, drugged, begins to imagine Sloan as Duke the teddy bear that he and Nicole used to own.

Johnny and Chanel talk about Wendy and Tripp dating but Wendy says they aren’t. Johnny goes over how he showed up to wine and dine her but she told him that she had plans with Tripp. Wendy responds that they ended up not going out. Johnny asks if Tripp flaked on her. Wendy explains that Joey was in an accident so Tripp went to Seattle to be with him. Chanel and Johnny start talking about sending Joey a gift basket. Wendy brings back up their engagement and questions if Johnny really proposed to Chanel because she agreed to go on a date with Tripp. Johnny says he thinks he did. Wendy calls it unbelievable. Johnny tells her not to be so mad and says she can totally come to the wedding and even go on a date after if it’s cool with Chanel. Wendy hopes he’s joking. Wendy brings up that Allie warned her about how badly Johnny treated women but she didn’t believe her. Johnny complains about Allie being such a hater. Wendy tells Johnny that she really thought they had something special and she really wanted it to work. Johnny remarks that she’s in to Tripp. Wendy says she wanted to be open and honest and clarify her feelings for Tripp before fully committing to Johnny but she never thought it would make him do something so stupid. Wendy calls Johnny the jackass that everyone says he is and declares they are done as she then storms off. Johnny then asks Chanel where they should go on their honeymoon.

Gabi tells Li as if he’s Stefan that she wants him so bad and she can’t wait any longer so they start kissing on the bed until Li stops and says he can’t do this. Li assures that he wants her but not like this. Gabi doesn’t understand and asks what the problem is. Li shouts that the problem is he’s not Stefan.

Stefan asks where Gabi is. Melinda questions if this is some kind of game. Stefan asks what she did with Gabi. Melinda shouts that she didn’t do anything. Stefan says that Gabi was there and then she turned in to Melinda. Melinda asks if Stefan was just pretending she was Gabi. Stefan insists that Gabi was there. Melinda mocks Stefan using her for his fantasies about his ex wife. Melinda complains about being humiliated like this. Melinda then starts feelings the effects of being drugged and imagines Stefan laughing at her. Melinda warns him not to laugh at her while Stefan questions who is laughing. Melinda shouts that she’s going to kill him and tries to attack him. Stefan questions what has gotten in to her. Melinda declares that he has messed with her head for the last time. Melinda then suddenly vomits and says she thinks she needs a doctor.

Li tells Gabi that he’s not Stefan and what she’s seeing isn’t real. Gabi tells him not to push her away and says she already knows Li found out so they don’t have to sneak around and lie. Gabi says she will lose his DiMera shares but now they are free to show the world how they feel and that’s what matters now. Li confirms that EJ sent him a picture of Gabi and Stefan having sex in the DiMera wine cellar. Li reiterates to Gabi that he is not her ex-husband, he is her current husband who is a pathetic excuse for a man who was so desperate to hang on to her that he almost ended up in prison. Li adds that he still didn’t get the hint and deluded himself in to thinking he could win her back. Gabi then realizes he is Li and questions what’s going on. Li says she’s been hallucinating and asks if she took something. Gabi says she would never do drugs. Li says that someone clearly drugged her. Gabi then stops and vomits right in front of Li.

Rafe continues hallucinating and imagines Sloan as Duke the teddy bear and hugs her, leaving Sloan and Jada confused. Rafe talks about how he’s missed Duke but says he shouldn’t be here right now because he and Nicole are over and he was trying to get busy with Jada until the blonde witch showed up. Rafe continues to imagine Duke and then questions why the room is spinning. Rafe then collapses to the floor and Jada checks on him.

Eric and Nicole start kissing and talking about how much they want each other. Nicole stops and asks about Sloan. Eric says that she ended things because he had trouble believing that she wasn’t stalking Paulina and Chanel. Eric then asks about Nicole and EJ. Nicole complains that EJ is so boring and only wants to plot against his brother while being with Eric is so much more fun and they kiss onto the bed.

Johnny and Chanel sit together in the town square. Johnny talks about being bummed that Wendy dumped him. Johnny says he can see why since he’s marrying Chanel but he’s surprised it was a deal breaker. Talia comes over, so Johnny introduces himself to her as Chanel’s once and future husband. Johnny adds that Talia is the first person they’ve told other than Wendy eavesdropping. Talia questions them getting married. Chanel says maybe while Johnny argues that she said yes. Chanel says she’s not sure why she said that. Johnny asks if she’s saying she doesn’t want to be his first and second wife. Chanel says she thinks so. Johnny asks if the honeymoon is off too. Chanel says she’s sorry. Johnny guesses he should probably get home. Chanel mentions that she should get back to work. Johnny asks for some more biscuits since he got dumped twice in one day. Johnny then decides he’s going to go home and take a nap as he walks off. Talia questions Chanel as to what that was all about.

Eric and Nicole lay in bed together after having sex. Nicole asks what they just did. Sloan then knocks on the door, calling for Eric to open up. Eric tells Nicole to be quiet and maybe she’ll go away. Sloan calls for Eric to open up because they need to talk. Nicole doesn’t think she’s going away. Eric then covers himself with a pillow and answers the door, claiming he was just getting dressed. Sloan says she came to apologize for overreacting since she did tell him that she was still planning on getting revenge on Paulina and Chanel. Sloan says she’s not guilty of what they are accusing her of but it makes total sense why he’d be suspicious. Eric says it’s no big deal and asks if that’s all. Sloan asks if he’s going to invite her in and questions since when he’s ever been nervous about her watching him get dressed. Eric says he’ll call her later but Sloan pushes her way in and finds Nicole in Eric’s bed.

Jada paces at the hospital, hoping that Rafe will be okay. Stefan arrives and tells Jada that he needs to speak with her. Jada says it’s not a good time but Stefan says he needs to report two attempted murders. Jada says she’s listening. Stefan informs Jada that EJ poisoned him and Melinda, so he needs to be arrested. Jada asks if he has proof. Stefan says no, but he’s pretty sure that EJ poisoned the breakfast biscuits they ate. Jada questions him saying breakfast biscuits. Stefan explains that Nicole picked them up from Sweet Bits Bakery, he and Melinda ate them and started hallucinating. Stefan adds that Melinda is in the ER right now. Jada informs Stefan that EJ may not be the one responsible for this. Gabi and Li arrive at the hospital. Gabi rushes up to Stefan, who questions what happened to her. Li says that’s what they are here to find out as Stefan hugs Gabi and tells her that everything is going to be okay.

Talia and Chanel go to the Bakery where Talia gives her a glass of water and asks if she’s feeling any better. Chanel says she doesn’t know what happened before with Johnny. Talia questions Johnny really asking her to marry him. Chanel questions saying yes and says that he was just so excited and she got caught up in the moment. Chanel guesses it was a temporary moment of insanity. Jada arrives. Talia asks if she got sent on a donut run. Jada reveals she’s actually here to investigate a crime. Chanel asks if something happened to Paulina. Jada assures that she’s fine, but Rafe and Melinda are both in the hospital, suffering from hallucinations. They call that awful while Talia asks what that has to do with the Bakery. Jada explains that they both had the breakfast biscuits that they purchased this morning, so there must have been something in them. Chanel argues that half the town had those biscuits and asks if there’s any other reports of people getting sick. Jada says not yet, but if they really sold that many, it’s likely they will. Talia worries that this could ruin Chanel’s business. Jada says one step at a time. Jada asks if it’s possible someone may have spiked those biscuits. Chanel responds that she knows exactly who it was.

Sloan tells Eric that was fast. Eric says this isn’t what it looks like. Sloan complains about people saying that to her today. Eric says he doesn’t know how this happened. Nicole talks about how Eric was going to take pictures of her. Eric doesn’t think that ever happened. Sloan asks if they are trying to convince her that they didn’t have sex. Eric assures that they definitely had sex. Eric and Nicole then talk about seeing the other dressed as a priest and in a bikini. Sloan questions them seeing things that aren’t there and thinking things are something else. Eric says exactly while Sloan points out that they ended up in bed together but both don’t know how it happened. Sloan declares that it sounds to her like they were drugged.

Chanel tells Jada that it had to be Sloan because she leaked the story about her to the Spectator and now she’s coming after her. Jada asks how Sloan would know Chanel was the source. Chanel admits she told her yesterday and they got in to it physically. Talia mentions getting there to break it up, but not before Sloan drew blood. Chanel calls Sloan a total psycho which is what the headline in Leo’s column said. Chanel says that cost Sloan business so now Sloan is costing her business. Jada brings up that Sloan was at the police station when Rafe passed out and seemed just as shocked as she was. Chanel argues that Sloan was clearly putting on an act. Chanel wonders if that’s what happened to Johnny since they were acting really weird earlier and they both had the biscuits. Chanel argues that this has Sloan written all over it and questions who else would do something this twisted. Talia then has a flashback to herself that reveals she was actually the one who drugged the biscuits. Jada then tells them that whether Sloan is involved or not, she is going to make it top priority to find out who has been drugging the citizens of Salem and she’s going to bring them to justice…

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ah. Only one left. Looks like I got here. Just in time man. Customers are jumping on these like they haven’t eaten in days. Yes. Where the mouth is getting out. I just hope we can keep up with the demand. Oh we will. With you on board. Sweet Bits is going to be more successful than ever.

There you are. Mm. Disappeared to this morning. Well, thank you. When I woke up, you were gone. I didn’t want to wake you. You were uh asleep. So I got us breakfast. Aw, that’s sweet. Whatever you got. Smell delicious. Where’d you go?

Sweets. Chanel’s place. What the hell is wrong with you? Breakfast biscuit, anyone? Oh, so that’s where you went? Mm-hmm. I know that the breakfast bar is always stocked with goodies, but variety is a spice of life, right? Oh and one. Mm-hmm. Well, what do you think? Get a whiff.

Ooh, smells good. Sweets from the sweet, not so fast cowboy. Before you indulge, you must show the proper gratitude where, ah, my matters.

Oh, good morning Johnny. It’s not all that good for me actually. Oh no. Did you not sleep water? I didn’t sleep at all. There was a lot of noise coming from down the hall. Sounded like a wild animal park. Uh, yes. Those noises you heard weren’t coming from my bedroom. That was all your all Uncle Stephan.

Really? Uh, I and Gabby are back together. No, it wasn’t Gabby in the Wild Animal park with him. It was our otherwise buttoned up District Attorney.

Melinda, what are you doing and why are you undressed? Well, I know you just showered, but I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind getting dirty again in as dirty away as possible.

Hey, so what are my, uh, eggs? Benedicts? I beg your pardon. Actually, I was looking forward to your amazing banana pancakes. Hello. Ever since we moved in here, you’ve made one amazing breakfast. After the other, starting to look forward to it. Why not this morning? Guess I wasn’t in the mood.

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

Lee is something wrong. My father’s been texting me nonstop about an issue I need to deal with. So you’re on your own for B. Well, I’m too hungry to cook, so I guess I’m going out. Tell your dad I say hello, and then I look forward to being a major Demer shareholder again in about four months. Gabby, yes, you never told me about your dinner meeting with David Saxton last night.

I trust it ended with everyone feeling satisfied.

You are even more beautiful than I remember.

Satisfied doesn’t begin to describe it. Um, when we got in rhythm, everything just flowed the way it’s supposed to. I gotta run. I’m starving. So see ya later.

Who me?

Can’t blame a girl for trying and I hate to be a pain in the ass, but this is the second night I’ve been here yelling your name at the top of my lungs and I have nothing to show for it except a sore throat. Okay, well I will have Harold bring you some tea. Mm. Well I hope you know how grateful I am to you for helping me out.

This will all be over soon. This. Hopefully, and I will repay you. I promise. Platonically, I assume. Nevermind. I get it. You love Gabby. She loves you everlasting love fairytale. Finally together after four years, blah, blah, blah. You seem thrilled for us. Hey, I don’t begrudge you and Gabby’s happily ever after.

I just gimme a realistic timeframe here. And how long are you planning to drag this out? Just until EJ blinks, I’m surprised you haven’t run into our esteemed and apparently quite vocal da wandering the halls. Stefan’s practically moved her in here. Okay. Ew. I mean, uncle Stephan and Melinda Trask really?

Actually, no, not really. It’s all just fun and games for Steph and he’s trying to put one over on the call and me try a biscuit, tell y’all about it. No thanks. I’ll pass, um, on the biscuits and on the details, but I thought you and Uncle Stephanie had buried the hatchet. Why? Why would he be trying to trick you?

Because he and Gabby are trying to conspire to get Lee Shin’s dir shares without her sticking to the deal she signed with them. I’m just trying to protect the company. And your future inheritance fine, whatever. Just, uh, pardon me if I don’t stick around for the matinee. The show last night was more than enough for me.

I’m going to the square. To get a coffee gallon. How to do it.

I know, too. Bet he doesn’t wanna try one. Oh, well more press us. Ah, glad to hear it, mama. No. Yeah, it’s been pretty quiet here too. Oh, thank God. Yeah. Um, fingers crossed. All right. Uh, love you. Oh, and, and don’t forget to come by and try one at Talia’s Biscuits. Okay. Talk soon.

Um, what do you mean about things being so quiet? I’d say things are pretty hectic. Oh, I meant in a good way. Mama was worried that that witch Sloan would try something again. But so far nothing. Thank God. You think she’ll finally back off and leave you alone? I wish. But you don’t know Sloane like I. She has pretty much dedicated her life to destroying mine.

And you know what? I have put up with a lot from that woman and I deserve a treat of my own. And I haven’t even tried one of these yet. See?

Oh my God, Julia, this is a man.

Why would you bring that stuff here into my home? Why would you think I’d ever want to eat anything from that murderers bakery? It’s just breakfast. You know? It’s not just anything. Dammit you. You know how I feel about that family and what they did to me in my family. Not only did you go when you gave them money, but you brought their their trash into my home.

Why would you do something like that? I didn’t because I honestly wanted to help you finally get over it.

Get over it. Do you think I should just get over it? Son, I’m, I’m only trying to help you. I know you were traumatized by what happened. What happened is that my mother was killed. She took her last breath when Chanel pushed her off that rooftop. My mother isn’t coming back from the dead. Eric, I don’t get that luxury to enjoy.

Not, not like some people. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying. I’m not telling you to like get over the death of your mother or your father. Yeah. You just did. No, I’m not, I’m just, I’m just trying to tell you. You’re only hurting yourself and making everything about your mother’s death. Is this about the way that she died?

Because don’t you give me that same song and dance. It was an accident. I’m warning you, Eric. No, no, no. Don’t poop words in my mouth. I don’t wanna fight with you. But what I’m saying is, It’s just this whole need for revenge. It’s too much. It’s not healthy. Just ease off a bit. You have to see that.

Hmm. I’m so tempted to have another one. Um, you might wanna save some for the customers. See we are having a hard time keeping up. I know, I know. But these biscuits are, slap your mama good. Okay. I’m sorry. Did I just hear you say that you have something today that’s. Our brand new hot outfit oven off the J Breakfast biscuits.

You have to try biscuits. Oh, mm-hmm. Okay. You nevermind. Carbs are my kryptonite. Forget it. Oh, no, no, no. They’re a little carb and high protein. Actually, they may win. Not fat yogurt and ho wheat flour. I know they seem very indulgent, but I promise you a very healthy way to start the day. Trust me, she knows all about.

Yeah, but I know that healthy and paste, you usually mean the taste like cardboard. Oh no, no. These are prove wrong here. Have a free sample. Okay. None. You have outdone yourself. Oh, I didn’t do a thing. This is actually T’S recipe. Uh, Gabby meet Talia Hunter, my new employee. Nice to meet you Talia. Uh, hunter.

And in relation to Jada? Uh, yeah. She’s my sister. You know her, her boss is my brother. Wait, wait, wait. Ra. Mm-hmm. Ray Hernandez is your brother. You’ve gotta be kidding me. Okay. Listen. We have to have a talk. Okay. Or am I the only one that sees that they belong together? Yes. I lost somebody else who sees how obvious it is.

No. When two people belong together, it’s a crime to keep them apart. I couldn’t agree more.

No, of course I wasn’t talking about you. Oh, so you’re saying, damn, you about our roomie. She’s still my wife. Even though I may be the only one who remembers that. Right. Well, what are you so upset with her about? Did something happen at the meeting with Saxtons? Did Gabby miss something up? She never went near the Beast Store.

Last night there was no meeting. EJ Damaris sent me pictures of her real rendezvous with Stephan in bed. Wow. Well she did say that lady whistleblower’s story about Stephan and the DA wasn’t true. That’s why she’s so sure about that. Melinda Trask is Stephan’s beard got me insists that she’s keeping to our.

That all she really wants right now are my Demer shares, but that’s a lie. She wants all of it. She wants Stephan. She wants my shares, everything but me. Okay, so what happened when you confronted her,

Lee, didn’t you? You didn’t say anything. I can’t stop loving her, Wendy, even after all of this, I, I still believe that she belongs with me, not Stephan.

Oh, it’s a glorious day, isn’t it? Morning. Oh, good morning. S Stephan. Madame Da. Uh, Stephan, you didn’t tell me your brother was gonna be down here. I’m not even dressed. If you are going to be a regular presence here, da, you might consider bringing one of your own robes over here. That one’s a tad big on you.

Oh, but it’s cozy and it smells like my Hemi. Oh, plus she just looks irresistible in me. I hope you at least have your own toothbrush. Oh, don’t worry. I do plan on having my own supply of everything I need in Stephan’s room. You’re not getting rid of me anytime soon. Oh, no, we wouldn’t want that. Oh, you.

Sable, I hope. Whatever s Stephan Scott runs in the family, if you know what I mean. Oh, I know what you mean. And I have no complaints. Ooh, breakfast. Biscuits. I don’t mind if I do. Plus we could probably use a little suss in it to keep our engines going. Huh? Up yourself. Oh, look at you. You’re getting crums all down your roll of that.

I guess you’re gonna have to help me get rid of them. Hmm. Just all together, just doing that to get you And they are succeeding. Why the hell hasn’t we done anything? Don’t worry about me, let’s just go for a walk so you can cool down and then we can think about what to do next. Upset. I hope that wasn’t expensive.

Excuse us. I will not. I beg your pardon. I will not excuse you nor pardon your utterly Christ behavior. This, this is insulting. Do you honestly expect us to believe this travesty of love affair, not call you out on it? Holy out about. The fact that you are actually having an affair with Gabby and not this, this, this civil servant

stone. Your obsession with Chanel and Paulina is taking over your. Everything you seem to be doing is about them, even when it comes to eating your breakfast. Stop. Giving them so much power, ease off a bit, and I promise you’ll feel better.

Could you be any more condescending? So I have no life, you know, I don’t hear you complaining. Whenever I suggest that we skip the appetizer and go straight for the main course, it doesn’t mean I don’t notice what’s going on or see what you’re doing. What does that mean? What are you not saying? Wow. Wait, this is, that’s what this is about.

You think I’m terrorizing Chanel and her mother, don’t you?

I never said that, but did you think it?

Yeah. Yes I did.

Chanel you mind watching the table for me for a few minutes? Me and Gabby have a lot to talk about. Sure. But I can’t promise you that I won’t eat away the rest of our prophets. I am so happy that you are on the same page. Lord knows our stubborn ugly siblings can’t see the spot it themselves. No, I think they spotted, they’re just afraid to do anything about it.

It’s that stupid department policy that was put in place. I know I have literally nudged Jada a thousand times, and I even took a chance with the rape myself to see how he feels about my sister. Yeah, he definitely shot me down. Of course he did. That’s okay. We’re gonna come up with a plan together and if it’s meant to be, they’re gonna find their way to each other.

I know from experienced coffee, must have coffee. Try one of these firms.

Wow. Mm-hmm. Wow. Just, wow. We’re gonna have to put that in our new ad. I was gonna say, sweet bits, biscuits. Bring zombies back to life. Yeah. Why are you so tired? Anyway, Wendy, keeping you up late. Hmm. I wish that were the case. Huh? Something going on with you two. I think she’s gonna dump me for trip.

The after everything she started the. You actually think you still have a chance with Gabby?

I know I’m supposed to throw a fit and let her have it and tell her she’s never gonna get her hands on these shares, but I’ve been holding on to hope for so long. I don’t think I can give up now and I’m not fooling myself about her feelings for. But things here were actually starting to work. She, she, she said she was looking forward to my breakfast, even if she pretended like she could care less.

And she loved the deal I set up with Saxtons. Yeah. And she uses it as an excuse to sneak out to see stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That hurts. Obvious. Damnit Jing when I, I really thought that if, if we just spend time together and in close quarters like this, shed remember how great we were, better than anything she could ever hope to have a Stephan, what’s happened to me?

It’s not like you to lose. You’re cool like this brother. Oh good god, you don’t get it, do you? You don’t get it. The game is over. Lee has pictures. Pictures that I took of you and Gabby in the secret room. And any minute now, Lee is going to lower the boom on you and Gabby and any hope she had of getting those demeanor shares.

Does this mean I’m out of a job? I’m afraid so, but I owe you Melinda, and your performance was.

Now if you excuse me, I need to, uh, hash this out with my brother, I’ll go shower and leave you to it. Bye-bye.

So you actually spied. On me and Gabby, it’s good to know there’s no bar too low for you. Ej. Oh, oh. Will you listen to him? He and Gabby are happy to sneak around like a couple of horny teenagers lying through their teeth, stealing company shares, and somehow I’m the one who has sunk too low. I am protecting the family business from a vi a Stephan all night.

Talk about her like that. You may not see who she really is, but I do all or too clearly, and I will not apologize for that. But do you want to know when you. Well, s Stephen, besides a liar and a cheat, of course, the traitor to him and everything that he created.

I didn’t wanna suspect you still, but yes, I admitted you did cross my mind. Even though I swore to you that I wasn’t the one trashing Paul’s office sending threatening notes, like I know anyone who has a personal agenda against him in Austin, also, what? What? Paulina received a note, a note with cut out letters from a magazine when I noticed a stack right here on your desk with scissors on.

You actually checked up on me. You went through the magazine, didn’t you?

Did you feel any kind of remorse when you saw that they were intact? No, of course not. Because you assumed I got rid of the evidence. No, I didn’t assume anything. And but then that’s when Abe, he showed up to confront you and he got you. And I thought that you defended. How silly was I to everything that you would have my back, so I did, I I do have your back.

When I told you about Abe coming here to confront you, you sent somebody a text that is exactly the same time that Paulina got a threatening note, a message via text. Well then I’m guilty, obviously. Would I be here if I thought that I no longer give a damn what you. I’m not in the habit of sleeping with people who think I’m out committing felonies in my spare time.

Just get the, get the hell out, okay? Now, and you can collect all your crap from the street once I throw it out the window. So come on, please get. Out

right now.

And you know what? Thank you. You did me a favor by not trusting me. Now I have so much more time to obsess over Chanel and her mother than wasting it on you.

So, You and Wendy. It’s sober. I don’t want to talk about it. Uh, what about you and your mom? Is that horrible woman still terrorizing you? Yes. That horrible woman. A k a Sloan Peterson. She denies that. She’s the one who made all those nasty threats. No surprise, but we’re gonna prove it was her. Anyway, that’s me.

So tell me about you. What is going on with you and Wendy? I thought you told me things were picking up. Oh, remember, I, I just said I didn’t want to talk about it. Oh, come on Johnny. I’m your friend. And I’m a good listener, you know that, and maybe I can even cheer you up. Okay, fine. Um, well, Tripp found out that Wendy and I never said we were exclusive, so he got right to work.

I’m confused if. You and Wendy aren’t exclusive, and then she goes out with trip. That doesn’t mean it’s over between you guys, does it? You don’t understand. Okay. Her, her, her and Trip are already really close. Okay. And so are you and Wendy, right? Yeah. Okay. Then what makes you think you’re getting dumb?

What makes you think I stand a chance? All right. I mean, Wendy’s not dumb. Okay. Trip has way more to offer than I do. I, I can’t compete.

There’s nothing wrong with you. Okay. Unrequited love. It’s, it’s painful, obviously. And unless you’ve been keeping it from me, you haven’t been this much in love with anyone before, have you? No, never. I didn’t think so. And I hate to tell you to give up hope, but you’re going to, only because you’re my big brother.

I hate to see you hurting like this, but you only have to go on your deal with Gabby and if she’s already sleeping with her ex I know, I know. No, but you’re not acting like you know. You have to open your eyes, Lee. This isn’t the time for wishful thinking. Gabby is cheating on you and lying to you. This isn’t the act of a woman who’s starting to warm towards you.

Okay? You need to think. I should go. I’m just getting in your way.

I am the trader of this. Me? Mm-hmm. This coming from the miserable son of a bitch who offered his hand to me in a truce and immediately started working behind my back to sabotage me. Thought you had me dead to rights, didn’t you? As soon as you set me and Gabby up to be found in that hotel room. So, yeah, I worked quickly to think of a plausible pla bruise.

Plausible. Oh, it was idiotic. Oh, it wasn’t meant to fool you, brother. It was meant to make you open your mouth, admit what you were doing. But, um, you didn’t have the guts, did you? And you didn’t have the intelligence or the willpower not to have your ridiculous plan blow up and smoke. Well, now you and Gabby can be together and made like a couple of wild dogs and heat for all I care.

What’s really important to me is that Gabby can no longer get her hands on those dir. You blew it Stephan. I hope one quickie in the basement was worth it.

Oh wow. A text and a call at the same time aren’t. Popular. Listen, I really wanna continue this conversation, but I, I have to take this. I’m sorry. Oh yeah, for sure. Why are you calling me on this phone? You know, maybe can see the history. It doesn’t matter. Cat’s outta the back. EJ saw us together in the secret room.

What? I know. And he sent a picture to Lee. Oh my. That’s why Lee said he wanted to talk and he was so cold this morning and I was trying to figure out why shares. I know. I’m sorry I, this is all my fault. No, no, it is not. We decided this. It’s what we wanted. All right. Uh, we’ll figure this out. But look, there is a bright side.

We don’t have to pretend anymore. Well, yeah, that is a bright side.

What do you wanna do now?

All right. Look, go pack your things. I’m gonna go to the apartment, Lee and I will have it out, and then you can move right in. And don’t forgive to give Melinda her walking papers. Whoa. What’s wrong? I don’t know. I think I just, I got excited for a second. The blood rushed outta my head, but I’m good. Now.

I’m gonna go pack. Are you sure you don’t want me there when you talk to Lee? No, I have to do this. I love you. Love you too.

Hold up. Where does all this I can compete stuff come from? What has Tripp got that you don’t? What are you so worried about? He’s a doctor. I’m just, I’m just some, some failed movie maker. Plus he’s, he’s Bills, he’s handsome. He’s guy like a certain, someone that is standing right in front of me. Plus he marks the sympathy box.

His mom is in an institution. The guy’s got it all. Okay. Are you done? Because I am tired of hearing you put yourself down, Johnny, you have got just as much to offer as trip. And the last thing you are is a failed movie maker. Oh, right. Because my movies have been such hits. Okay. You just haven’t made the movie that’s gonna put you on the map yet.

But look, look, I, I like Tripp a lot. I think he’s a great guy, but so are you Johnny Damira, you are all that. And so much more. Would I have married you otherwise?

Well, thank you. I really appreciate the pep talk. Did. Not really. Oh, come on. This isn’t like you, Josh. I know. I don’t know where my usual self-confidence has disappeared to, but thank you for reminding me of how we used to be back when we got married in Italy, the way you swept me off my feet. Look, I know the way that it ended for us was not pretty.

The way it began, it was magical, spontaneous, and way crazy. But I was so swept off my feet and seeing the San Carlo of the four fountains and that little church you hadn’t been to since you were 10 years old. It was incredible. So beautiful. So are you. I remember standing there and looking at the priest and just thinking to myself, how did I get so lucky?

I mean, who wouldn’t wanna marry this amazing guy? So you can tell yourself confidence to get it together.

G, are you okay? Yeah, just, uh, no, no sleep last night, remember? Mm-hmm. Are you okay? Uh, yeah. It, it’s hot out here, right? Or is it? Not as hot as it was in Italy. Remember, that didn’t bother us. Yeah, that is. That is certainly correct. Hey, you remember that night we stayed up all night long drinking wine and watching the fishing boats go in and out.

I was for everything.

All I remember is that. Fred little dress you had on just, just standing up there next to me with the at the altar and Chanel. Hey. Um, just wanna let you know I’m starting another badge of those biscuit. Oh, okay, great. Johnny loved his

Johnny. Jen, what are you doing? Chanel Dupre, will you marry me?

Got your text. Abby. There’s something I need to say. I think I know.

How did you get here so fast? Huh? Who cares? You’re here now?

Yes.

Still don’t get why Lee hasn’t acted on that photo I sent to him. I know he got it. I saw the notification. I maybe still upset about it, but it doesn’t matter because you won and Gabby lost as she was destined too. Mm-hmm.

Oh, that’s work. I gotta take this. That’s okay. I need to get to the office anyway. Talk later. Definitely.

Hi, this is Nicole. Yes, those files should be in.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Portia: I can’t reach my daughter, Curtis.

Curtis: [Sighs] Well, she, um, might just have her phone off.

Portia: That would explain the voice mail, but the texts? The texts still should be going through. And they’re not.

Curtis: Maybe she’s out of range.

Portia: [Sighs] No. No, no, not Trina.

Curtis: [Sighs]

Portia: No.

Curtis: Jordan.

Jordan: I’m sorry to bother you at work, but we have some questions about an ongoing investigation.

Portia: What kind of questions?

Curtis: Has something happened to Trina?

[Dramatic music]


Spencer: This can’t be the end of us. We’re just getting started.

Trina: I’m glad we’re on the same page.

Spencer: Promise me you’ll be careful.

Trina: I promise. We got this, Spencer. But first, we got to get me out of this room.

Spencer: Yeah, without my escort discovering you.

Trina: Any ideas?


[Distant telephone ringing]

Sonny: Laura.

Laura: Hi.

Sonny: Hi.

Laura: Are you here to check on Anna?

Sonny: How’s she doing?

Laura: She made it out of surgery. They just moved her to ICU.

Sonny: I-I’ll take any–- any good news where I can get it.

Laura: So I take it that means that you don’t have any leads on Spencer?

Sonny: Or Victor. But don’t worry about it, because when I find him, he’s going to pay more than he’s ever paid before.


Michael: Why do I feel like I’m about to get ganged up on?

Brook Lynn: Ganged up on is a little extreme.

Sasha: Willow has something she needs to tell you. That’s all.

Michael: Okay.

Willow: I know this is weird.

Michael: A little bit.

Willow: I just need you to really listen, all right?

Michael: Okay. I always listen to you. What’s going on?

Willow: I want to get married, Michael.

Michael: Okay, good. So do I.

Willow: Today.


[Monitor beeping]

Valentin: Well, hello.

Anna: [Coughing]

Valentin: If it isn’t the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Welcome back.

[Dramatic music]


Michael: You–you want to get married today?

Willow: Tomorrow at the latest.

Brook Lynn: Makes sense, now that the transplant has been postponed.

Sasha: And who knows for how long, since Liesl is still missing?

Willow: I don’t want to wait. [Chuckles] I can’t wait. Time is running out, Michael. I want to marry you as soon as possible so we can have as long as possible together as husband and wife.

Michael: Oh, Willow–

Willow: Just, please consider it. [Chuckles]

Michael: There’s nothing to consider. Willow, I would marry you whenever… wherever you want.

[Tender music]

Michael: [Chuckles]


Liesl: Let me go.

Victor: Ah, Liesl. There you are. And may I say you look divine?

Liesl: No, you may not.

Victor: Hmm. I do appreciate you joining me on such short notice. Uh, breakfast?

Liesl: Looks more like a funeral. All we need now is a body.


Valentin: How is she?

Doctor: [Sighs] Still at risk for post-op complications like infection, but you’re lucky. You’re on track to make a full recovery.

Anna: Thank you. Thank you so– hey, look, you know, um, I’m– I’m really grateful. Thank you.

Doctor: You’re so welcome.

Anna: Thank you. [Sniffles]

Doctor: I’ll be back to check on you, okay?

Anna: Yeah.

[Monitor beeping]

Anna: [Sighs]

Valentin: I don’t think luck had anything to do with it. I think god is an Anna Devane fan.

Anna: [Laughs]

Valentin: I thought I’d lost you.

Anna: I think you saved my life, didn’t you?

Valentin: I’m the reason you got shot in the first place.

Anna: Don’t do that to yourself. Don’t do that.

Valentin: Victor wanted to hurt me. He was willing to take you away from all of us to do it.

Anna: Well, he didn’t.

Valentin: Oh, thank god he didn’t.

Anna: Right before I blacked out, I saw something.

Valentin: What?

Anna: [Sniffles, cries] I saw all the faces of all the people I love. [Sniffles] I saw Robin and Emma and Noah and you. I-I think it’s what helped me fight, because… [Whimpering] I’m not ready to leave any of you just yet. [Breathes shakily, exhales deeply] I think you’re stuck with me.

[Both crying and chuckling]

Valentin: I’ll hold you to that.

Anna: Yeah, you should.

[Soft music]


Portia: You need to tell me what’s going on right now.

Jordan: Can we go to your office?

Portia: Fine.

Curtis: You know, if this is about Trina, I need to come, too.

Portia: [Sighs] Curtis should be there, too.


Dante: Hey. Uh, any word on Anna?

Laura: She’s out of surgery. She made it.

Dante: Well, that’s a relief. Unfortunately, it sounds like Victor’s list of victims is growing.

[Dramatic music]


Trina: There’s no reason for the guard to latch the door when you’re not here, right? It’ll work.

Spencer: Yeah, it better.

Trina: We can do this. You know how I know?

Spencer: How?

Trina: Because we make a good team. I will be the definition of stealth, while– while you create the perfect diversion.

Spencer: Okay, listen to me. My uncle cannot catch you.

[Footsteps approaching]

Trina: He won’t.

Spencer: Someone’s coming.

Trina: No turning back now.


Portia: You wanted privacy, so here we are. Now, please tell me what’s going on before I completely lose my mind.

[Door closes]

Curtis: Jordan, what happened to Trina?

Jordan: We don’t know for sure. But we have reason to believe she’s with Spencer Cassadine… and his great-uncle Victor.

[Dramatic music]


Spencer: Oh, it’s about time. I am starving. Hey, are we going or what?


Anna: What’s happening?

Valentin: I don’t think we should talk about that.

Anna: I want to talk about him.

Valentin: You should be resting.

Anna: I’m–- I’m resting. I’m in a bed. Tell me.

Valentin: Okay. What’s the last thing you remember?

Anna: I don’t know. [Inhales deeply] It’s a bit of a blur. I know you gave necklace– a necklace to Victor, didn’t you?

Valentin: He was going to hurt you. I was out of options.

Anna: It’s okay. I– shh. I would have done the same thing. Did Lucy get out okay? Is she–-

Valentin: Yeah.

Anna: Good.

Valentin: In fact, I think she made a… a grand entrance at the Nurses’ Ball.

Anna: [Laughs] Of course she did. Your father… where is he? Do we know?

Valentin: Yeah. And, no. He escaped on the “Haunted Star.” So far, the location of the boat is a mystery.

Anna: How is that possible?

Valentin: I don’t know. But it is. And you should know that the necklace is not the only thing he escaped with.


Victor: I had hoped we could play nice, but here you are, greeting me with threats. And if you are thinking about causing any trouble, you should know I have guards all over this ship ready to descend at a moment’s notice. Welcome, my boy.

Liesl: And then there were three.

Spencer: What is this?

Valentin: No, you mean who is this. I think you’ve already met Dr. Liesl Obrecht.

Spencer: Where’s my brother? You said he’d be here.

Liesl: Make that four.

Victor: You have my word. You’ll see him after breakfast. Now, please, both of you, come, sit. [Sighs contentedly] There, isn’t this nice? Well, before we begin, let’s raise a glass to new beginnings.

Spencer: Exactly how long do you think that you can string us along for?

Victor: I beg your pardon?

Spencer: You promised me answers, Uncle Victor, and I intend to collect.


Sonny: So Trina is also one of Victor’s hostages?

Dante: It’s looking like that, yeah.

Laura: How much damage can one man do in one night?

Dante: Look, I-I know you guys are probably just as tired of hearing it as I am of saying it, but we are doing everything we can to find them.

Laura: And I know that. [Sighs] And I appreciate it. I really do. It’s just that this is exactly what I was afraid of when Victor came back to Port Charles. You know? I mean… I tried to warn Spencer more than once. I tried to protect him.

Sonny: You still protect him. We’re going to find him and bring him home.

Dante: That is the plan.

[Cell phone ringing]

Laura: Oh, dear. I-I have to take this. Excuse me. Mayor Collins?

Sonny: How’s Michael and Willow?

Dante: I don’t know. I haven’t talked to him. I haven’t sat down since this whole thing started.

Sonny: I bet.

Dante: Have you talked to them?

Sonny: No.

Dante: Willow really needs that, uh, bone marrow transplant.

Sonny: There’s got to be a way we find Victor and bring Liesl home.

Dante: Well, we still have the guy who tried to kill Lucy in custody, but he’s not talking to anyone.

Sonny: Not to the cops. But maybe he’ll talk to me.


Brook Lynn: We can totally do today, but if you guys are willing to wait until tomorrow, things might be a little less frantic.

Willow: We’re good with tomorrow.

Brook Lynn: Okay. Awesome. Everything is going to come together–I just know it.

Sasha: It’ll be the best wedding this town has ever seen.

Brook Lynn: Uh, duh. We’re the Quartermaines.

[Laughter, baby fussing]

Michael: Do you, uh– do you think you can put Amelia down for a nap, please?

Brook Lynn: Yes. Of course.

Michael: Thank you.

Brook Lynn: Come here, Miss Amelia. It is snooze time. Oh, come here, sweetheart.

Willow: Okay. Be honest.

Michael: I am, always.

Willow: Is this really what you want?

Michael: [Chuckles] Willow, I– I want to be your husband. Of course this is what I want. What, did you think I was going to fight you on this?

Willow: I don’t know. I guess… I was just afraid you’d think I was giving up.

Michael: Are you?


Michael: With Liesl MIA right now, I know- I know things are scary. So… I wouldn’t blame you if you felt, you know… frustrated or–or–or hopeless.

Willow: Frustrated, yes, and angry and… afraid. But I have not given up hope. I am praying with every fiber of my being that Liesl is found, and soon.

Michael: Yeah. And there’s every reason to believe that she will be, right? I mean, she hasn’t even missing for a full day.

Willow: Just feels like the days count more than they used to.

Michael: Yeah. Yeah, they do.

Willow: And so… we need to be realistic. Dr. Randolph told us I don’t have much time left. And I don’t want to gamble with what could be my final days. I know. I hate the words as much as you do. But ignoring them doesn’t do us any good. If this is the end, I want it to be filled with as much joy and love as possible. [Chuckles] And so… just like I insisted on pushing back the wedding until after the transplant, now I want to get married right away. [Sighs] Am I driving you crazy?

Michael: The good kind of crazy. Let’s do it.

Willow: Yeah?

Michael: Yeah.

[Tender music]

Michael: But we, um… we don’t know what the future holds. And our time together may… be limited. But… our wedding… is an act of faith… that we are going to have many, many, many more years together with a family that our love created, okay?

Willow: I like the sound of that.

Michael: Yeah, so do I.


Dante: Dad.

Sonny: What?

Dante: What do you mean what? I can’t let you talk to the perp. Besides, you already took a crack at him.

Sonny: I don’t know what you’re implying.

Dante: Really?

Sonny: Yeah.

Dante: You don’t think that I know that you’re the reason that he’s got Diane as his attorney? I mean, it’s the only person he’s spoken to. I mean, the–the only lead we have is because of you.

Sonny: The “Haunted Star” is untraceable. We got to find a different angle.

Dante: I know, and we will. I got people working on it. You got feelers out there, too. We will find them.

Sonny: What if it’s not in time?

Dante: She’s not going to quit. I don’t think you should either.

Sonny: I don’t want to be in this position again.

Dante: And what position is that?

Sonny: Where someone that I love… is dying and I can’t do a damn thing about it.

[Dramatic music]


Portia: No. No, no, no. This… [Grunts awkwardly] This can’t be happening. No, no, no, this can’t be happening.

Jordan: When was the last time you saw or spoke to Trina?

Portia: [Sobs]

Curtis: Portia.

Portia: It–it was at the Nurses’ Ball. And I went to her dorm afterwards… but she never showed up.

Jordan: What about you?

Curtis: Same. Jordan, will you tell us what’s going on?

Jordan: We have evidence that Victor Cassadine abducted Liesl Obrecht along with Esme Prince’s baby.

Portia:Oh, my god.

Jordan: We also believe Spencer Cassadine is with them as well. Now, given Trina was last seen with Spencer, who we believe was taken by his great-uncle–

Curtis: Your theory is that somehow Trina got caught up in it.

Jordan: Yes.

Curtis: Okay, so what’s your department doing about it?

Jordan: Well, we have a lead, but, unfortunately, following it won’t be easy.


Anna: Your father has hostages? Who?

Valentin: Nothing is certain, but the police suspect he has Spencer and baby Ace.

Anna: Oh, god, no.

Valentin: As well as Liesl Obrecht.

Anna: Liesl? What does he want with them?

Valentin: I don’t know. Maybe they have value as hostages. Maybe it’s part of his master plan. Or maybe it’s both.


Spencer: You keep talking about new beginnings, but you still haven’t told us where we’re going or why. And from the way that she’s glaring at you, I’m betting that Dr. Obrecht isn’t exactly here because she wants to be.

Victor: I know, this whole situation must seem very disconcerting to both of you. But, Spencer, you’ve always shown willingness to protect our family at any cost. I’m counting on you and your brother to ensure the future prosperity of the Cassadines.

Liesl: As disturbing as that explanation was, I suppose I can understand you kidnapping your own kin. But what is my purpose? I certainly do not care about the Cassadine legacy.

Victor: Oh-ho-ho. Oh, this goes much further than a family legacy. When my plan comes to fruition, we’ll be ushering in a new era for humanity.


Sonny: When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, there was not a damn thing I could do about it, no lead I could take. This awful… [Sighs] disease was just happening to us.

Dante: Yeah, same thing with Stone.

Sonny: All I could do is just stand by there and just… watch him slip away. And no matter how–how ugly it is with me and Michael, I don’t wish that on anyone.

Dante: You’re wrong. The way I heard it, you didn’t just stand there and do nothing. You cared for Mike. You loved him. You made sure his last months, weeks, and days on this earth were good ones.

[Dramatic music]

Dante: You did the same thing with Stone.  Could you save them? No. No one could. But you did them both a… a world of good.

Sonny: Thanks for saying that.

Dante: It’s just the truth. You could do the same thing for Michael and Willow.

Sonny: I would love to, but Michael won’t let me.

Dante: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.


Michael: Is everything good with Amelia?

Sasha: She went down without so much as a whimper.

Brook Lynn: Clearly, we have the magic touch. So what do we have to do to get this wedding off the ground?

Sasha: Put us to work.

Willow: Most everything is planned already, but we do need to contact the vendors and tell them we’re moving up the date.

Sasha: On it. Send me the list.

Willow: Okay, I will. [Chuckles] Love you.

Sasha: And I’ll talk to you soon, okay?

[Soft music]

Sasha: Bye.

Brook Lynn: Bye, Sasha.

Michael: I’ll, uh–I’ll walk you out. [Sighs] Here…

Brook Lynn: Okay. So notifying the vendors, done. What else?

Willow: Would you mind?

Brook Lynn: Checking on Michael?

Willow: I know this is hard on him. Help him if you can.

Brook Lynn: Yeah.


Jordan: We believe Victor left Port Charles on the “Haunted Star.”

Curtis: Doesn’t that ship have a GPS tracker?

Jordan: It did, but we found it tied to a buoy in the harbor.

Portia: [Sighs] So they could be anywhere.

Jordan: The coast guard is working to locate them via satellite, but so far, no luck.

Portia: This is a living nightmare.

Jordan: We are utilizing all resources, Portia. I promise. The goal is to bring Trina, Spencer, and whomever else is on that boat home safely.

Curtis: Jordan, thank you.

Jordan: I’ll obviously be in touch.

[Somber music]

[Door opens, closes]

Portia: My baby girl. She must be so scared right now. [Cries]

Curtis: It’s okay. Okay? I got you. It’ll be okay.

Portia: Okay.

Curtis: It will be okay.

Portia: [Cries]


Anna: Oh. [Winces] Ow. Okay, look… I don’t think your father is motivated by money, right? So it’s not a ransom. No?

Valentin: No. He could be using Liesl, Spencer, and the baby as human shields.

Anna: Um, yeah, I mean… I imagine that he sees Spencer as practically the only family he has left. But Liesl, I… does he need something from her? Because, remember, we don’t know what the– what the code on the Ice Princess necklace means. We don’t know if it leads somewhere.

Valentin: Well, regardless, Victor has everything he needs to put his plan in motion, and he can strike at any minute.

Anna: Oh, god. How do we or–or anybody– how do we stop him?


Liesl: Once again, you fall prey to your bloated sense of self-importance.

Victor: I’m merely stating a fact. Someone has to do what needs to be done.

Liesl: And that is?

Spencer: Yeah, when you say “new era,” what does that mean?

Victor: When I was younger, I was horrified by the damage we were doing to our planet.

Spencer: Oh, we?

Victor: Yes, we, us, people, humanity, our greed and short-sightedness, carelessly consuming the very resources we needed to survive. I mean, left unchecked, there will be nothing left for future generations. Now, once upon a time, my brother, Mikkos, shared these views. So, together, we developed a technology to reverse mankind’s mistakes.

Liesl: The device you use to control the climate. Do remind us how that turned out.

Victor: Yes, all right, I admit, uh… allying with Mikkos was a mistake. He soon showed himself to be a mere opportunist using our innovation for extortion. His greed was not only disgusting. It was our undoing.

Liesl: His greed, along with Luke and Laura.

Victor: Yes, well, I won’t make the same mistake twice. There are other ways of accomplishing what I set out to do all those years ago.

Spencer: How?

Victor: Mikkos and I developed another set of tools to save the world, tools that we could fall back on if our first plan was a failure.

Liesl: Now, there’s an understatement.

Victor: For security reasons, we placed these tools in bunkers, the locations of which only Mikkos knew. He engraved a code on the Ice Princess, which, when deciphered, would give the coordinates of those locations.

Spencer: The Ice Princess, as in the diamond?

Victor: That’s correct.

Spencer: And I assume that we’re headed to one of those bunkers.

Liesl: Is that why you killed Luke Spencer? So you could get your hands on that diamond?

Victor: Sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. And there’s plenty of people out there who agree with me. While I was working on my plan, I gathered a great number of– of true believers, willing to give their life for the cause.

Liesl: Before this is over, how many unwilling people are going to perish?

[Dramatic music]


Victor: Humanity has all but ensured its own annihilation. The only way to reverse the damage is to take extreme measures and take them now.

Spencer: Define “extreme.”

Victor: 40 years after Mikkos’ folly, do you realize the population of the planet has almost doubled? Eight billion people. Think of the strain on our resources and space. There’s no way it can be sustained. But it can be fixed.

Liesl: “Fixed”? How?

Victor: A pathogen stored in one of my brother’s bunkers. Once released, it will reduce the population to manageable levels.

Liesl: Your plan is to release an unknown pathogen into the world?

Victor: “Unknown”? No, no, Mikkos and I cultivated it to very specific specifications.

Liesl: Four decades ago. Who knows how that pathogen has morphed in that time?

Victor: The survivors will usher in a new age of man.

Spencer: So to hell with all the innocent people who will die, so long as your family remains intact. Who appointed you judge, jury, and executioner?

Victor: I know, I know. It seems heartless. But to bring about true change involves sacrifice.

Spencer: Sacrifice from everybody else!

Victor: Someone has to have the courage to make the hard choices!

Spencer: There’s no way. I’m not going to let you get away with this.

Victor: Oh, I’ve been working towards this all my life. No one is going to stop me now. Not even you.

[Dramatic music]


[Device beeps, whirs]

[Indistinct chatter over radio]


Portia: Victor has Trina on some ship for god knows what reason, and we have no idea where they are. What if Trina is hurt, or she–

Curtis: We will find her.

Portia: Yeah, but how? My daughter needs protecting, and I’m not there to protect her. What am I supposed to do?

Curtis: I have seen how Trina handles herself in threatening situations, okay? She’s tough. She’s levelheaded. If she’s with Victor and Spencer, she’s finding a way out of it.

Portia: [Shudders] You really think so?

Curtis: I know so.


Laura: Jordan, Dante just told me that Trina may also be one of Victor’s hostages?

Jordan: It’s a theory for now, but it’s looking more and more likely. I just broke the news to Portia and Curtis.

Laura: She must be going out of her mind.

Jordan: Yeah, not the most fun conversation I’ve ever had.

Laura: We have got to find those kids and bring them back home. My office is at your disposal. Don’t hesitate to ask for anything.

Jordan: Thank you. You know, actually, there is something you can do.


Sonny: Last time I checked, Michael didn’t, you know, want anything to do with me, unless you– you know something different.

Dante: I think in hard times, people’s perspectives change, and you reevaluate what’s important in your life. And I just think Michael’s feelings will change as this situation evolves.

Sonny: You know, when–when Willow got leukemia, there was a moment that Michael and I– I thought we were going to fix things. But last time I talked to him, it got heated. And he just doesn’t want to see me at all.

Dante: Yeah, but–-

Sonny: I know that.

Dante: Okay, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but maybe next week, or who knows, right? If one day he wakes up and finds himself needing his father, it’s not like you’re going to turn away, right?

Sonny: No matter how angry I am with Michael, if he reached out, I’d be there.

Dante: Right. So do that. You’re looking for something to do anyway. Do that.

Sonny: [Sighs]

Dante: Anyway, some of us got to work. I got to go.

Sonny: [Grunts] Thanks for the talk.

Dante: Anytime.


Michael: [Sighs]

Brook Lynn: Hi.

Michael: Hey. Guess you caught me having a moment.

Brook Lynn: Remember what I said about those? You’re allowed to have as many as you need.

Michael: Yeah, well, good, because they seem to be happening a lot more lately.

Brook Lynn: Just not in front of Willow.

Michael: No, no, not in front of Willow. She has enough on her plate. I don’t need to add to it.

Brook Lynn: Can I say something? If you think I’m overstepping–

Michael:  Yeah, I’ll tell you. Go ahead.

Brook Lynn: Maybe it’s time that you and Willow shared a plate… you know? [Sighs] Shared your feelings about what’s really going on, because the truth is, Michael, this is happening to both of you. Just know that I love you, okay? I’m here for whatever you need.

Michael: Yeah, thanks. I love you, too.

Brook Lynn: Even though I annoy the heck out of you sometimes?

[Chuckles]

[Cell phone ringing]

Michael: I’m being summoned.

Brook Lynn: Let me go.

Michael: You sure?

Brook Lynn: Yeah. I miss the days of rocking Bailey back to sleep.

Michael: Okay. Thank you.

[Ringing continues]

Michael: [Sighs] Look, now’s not a good time.

Sonny: It’ll be quick. You–you don’t even have to respond. Just let me say my piece.


Sonny: I just need a minute, Michael.

Michael: [Sighs] Okay. Go ahead.

Sonny: I just want you to know that I’ve been thinking a lot about you and Willow, and I know this must be tearing you up inside. And, I know how– you know, how that feels. Having to be strong for everyone, and deep down inside, all you want to do is curl up in a ball. I know you don’t want to take me up on this, but I just want you to know that if you ever need me, in any way, I’m here for you. All you gotta do is say the word.  Michael, you still there?

Michael: Yeah, I’m here.

Sonny: You wanna talk?

Michael: Uh, no, I gotta — I gotta go.

Sonny: Okay.

Michael: But, uh… I hear you.


Valentin: I know one thing’s certain, that we won’t be doing anything. We will stay in bed, and we will recover.

Anna: Okay. I– I mean, just because I’m in this bed, it doesn’t render me useless, you know.

Valentin: Of course you’re not useless. I need you. If I’m going to bring Victor down, then I need your health, desperately. But I’m not going to jeopardize your health to do it. Not much scares me, you know. But when I watched you… and then I held you in my arms, and I watched you fade away… That terrified me. I don’t watch to be without you.

Anna: You won’t be.

Valentin: So you promise me you won’t do anything to put yourself at risk?

Anna: Okay. I promise.


Jordan: I know you’ve been working to take down Victor ever since he returned to Port Charles. You made allusions in the past, and Robert and Felicia confirmed it yesterday.

Laura: I have a long history with the Cassadines. They have terrorized me and my family countless times, countless ways. No more.

Jordan: I’m not blaming you. But, you’ve kept me out of the loop for way too long. I want in. Our best chance at nailing Victor is by working together, all of us.


Portia: My mind keeps going to all the scariest places.

Curtis: Honey, you have to try not let it.

Portia: Curtis, we both know the Cassadines — how vindictive and evil and lethal they are.

Curtis: Jordan has the entire PCPD on their tail.

Portia: [ Sighs ] What if they’re not in time?

Curtis: Trina is coming home, Portia. Even if I have to bring her home myself.


[ Device beeps, whirs ]

Trina: Come on, Spencer. Where is the diversion?


Victor: Come on, Spencer. Think about it. This is the only way you and your brother will have a world to grow up in.

Spencer: Assuming we don’t fall victim to the pathogen’s effects.

Victor: Well, that is where the lovely Dr. Obrecht comes in. You see, her expertise will ensure that my heirs are properly inoculated.

Liesl: Thus ensuring your precious legacy. If you think I’m going to help you, Victor, you’ve truly lost your [ speaks German ].

Victor: [ Chuckles] Oh, I do love it when you talk German. But, uh, if you don’t comply with my wishes… I promise you, the consequences will be dire.

Liesl: [ Screams ]

Spencer: You can say that again.

Liesl: [ Gasping for breath ]


On the next “General Hospital” —

Brook Lynn (on phone): I have a critical mission for you, and you have to accept it.

Gregory (to Chase): Well, that’s good news, right?

Sam (to Alexis): Why can’t you just let this go?

Curtis (to Jordan): Believe me, he will not see me coming.

Victor: The consequences will be dire.

Trina: Now what?

Portia (on phone): He-help is on the way.

Spencer: No Obrecht, no plan.

Eric, if you’re not really, you know, then you shouldn’t be walking around dressed like that. Dress like, what a priest

Do you have a minute to chat? Yeah. For you out two. What’s up?

Sorry. I got a couple of these, um, breakfast biscuits from Sweet Beds from dude. I do not know what they put in these, but they’re like, crap,

Chanel spontaneity has always been our thing in, you know, I’ve always been crazy about you. I think that goes both ways, so, Will you please do me the honor of becoming Mrs. John Roman Damara. One more time.

I know everything Gabby. It’s over. What are you talking about? Enough with the pretending we’re done. We are far from done baby. Our story is just getting started and our. He’s gonna stand the test of time.

Stephan, what are you staring at? Only the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

This is an easy, so I’d appreciate it. You let me say what I need to say. Oh, I see. We leave the talking for another day. Where are you going? I said, stop it. What is wrong with you? I don’t appreciate being mocked, baby. I would never Don’t call me baby. I’m sorry. I didn’t have bothered you. You want to know what bothers me, Gabby?

Your need to make me feel more foolish. Empathetic than I already do. What are you? I get it. Okay. I. I’m the loser. I need to face reality that there’s no hope for us, except that this sham of a marriage needs to end fine, but let me do it with some semblance of dignity. I marriage. It was not sham. Uh, g granted, okay, we started off kind of on a, on, on the wrong note, but then our hearts grew to love each other and, and, and it was wonderful.

It is wonderful. And, oh, no, no, no, no. Please say that you remember. Please, please say that you remember our love. Don’t use Stephan.

It’s not nice to tease a girl, Stephan. Oh, who’s teasing? I adore you. I almost believe you. Hmm. Well, just in case there’s still some confusion, let me spell it out for you one more time. Not only are you the most stunningly beautiful woman I have ever met. You are the most brilliant, captivating, dynamic woman on the planet.

And I am madly in love with you.

Oh, s Steph and I, I thought there was a chance we’d get close while I was helping you out, but I didn’t wanna get my hopes up. Come again. What you just said about me, were you being serious? I’ve never been more serious about anything at all my life. This you, my love only woman I want to be with and only you.

So what are you saying? Of course, I’ll marry you, G. Oh, that is amazing. I’m so happy. Me too. But wait, what about Wendy? Yeah. What about Wendy?

I’m a priest. What are you talking about? Look,

you’re right. How can I do this? I can give big trouble. Damnit, Eric. I can’t help it. I mean, just, I’m mad at. I could get in big trouble. I mean, impersonating a priest is like sacrilege. I know. When you’re cursing on top of it, we, we could get struck by lightning. Oh, forgive me father, for I know not what I’m saying.

Or wearing right now. You’ve gotta get out of these clothes before someone sees you and call the pope. This is why I’m thinking I’m gonna get on that right now. Yeah. Oh, why did you stop? Why are you following me? Well, because you must have stolen that clothing from St. Luke’s. I gotta get it dry, clean before anyone realizes it’s missing.

Good plan. But let’s go.

Oh, you didn’t hear me Sping. I said our crew was gonna kick the fire department’s asses here in the charity softball tournament. Oh yeah, you heard that? Listen. Oh, okay. Well, not if I see you first guy.

Ah. All right. Where were we? Uh, why? You said you wanted to chat? Yes. It’s on your mind. J Jake. Okay. How much coffee have you had today, boss? Normal amount. What do you ask? No reason. You, uh, you have a little something. Yeah. Oh my God. Wow. Thank you. Would’ve been really embarrassing if I, uh, went in front of a city council looking like a big old slob, huh?

Right, right. Anyway, um, I wanted to apologize. Or leaving so abruptly yesterday. Oh, it’s all good. Good, good. I’m glad, uh, cuz I, I love my job and I love working for you. And the last thing I want is for things to be awkward between us.

Why? Why the hell would it ever be awkward? Department policy, we discussed this. We have to obey the rules. Rules, yeah. Rules, rules, rules. You know, the, the guys that make these rules, they, they sit behind the desk, they’re pencil pushers and we, where do they get off making these rules and telling us who we should fraternize with.

The new policy came directly from the mayor who feels very strongly about superiors and subordinates not getting involved. Okay. Yeah. And, and you know, I love the mayor. I love Abe. Right. But he’s not a cop anymore. You know, he’s got his fancy job and his fancy wife and it, I just, I just don’t think that he gets us anymore.

I don’t follow. Yeah. Okay. Well, you and. We work long shifts overtime, steak outs, right? I mean, it is hard. It, it is stressful. It is hard. Did I say that already? I mean, whatever the, the point is this, right? You and me, we wake up every day and we risk our lives to make sure this damn city is safe, right? And, and if we feel comfort in each other’s arms, then that’s cool.

I mean, we should just go for it, right? Screw the policy. Screw them. Ra, are you okay? I’m, uh, I’m great. The, the best I’ve ever been. I’m just saying I don’t think that we should let the man dictate our lives, the man. Yes.

I, I just can’t tell you how good you look right now. Dress like that. Like what? Come on. Come on, hunter. You are right now. Okay. I, I, I don’t. I don’t know what’s going on right now. I have no idea what’s going on today.

Wendy. Hey, I didn’t see you there. Yeah, obviously not. Did I see what I think I just saw? Did you really just propose to Chanel? Uh, yeah. Yeah. I, I think I did. Johnny, Wendy, what? What’s the problem? Oh, you really don’t think proposing to your ex-wife while you’re dating me is a problem. Well, you never said we were exclusive, so it’s, well, Johnny, you could have at least given her a heads up, you know, as a courtesy, do me a.

Stay out of it. Why are you so bad outta shape, aren’t you dating Trip the drip?

I cannot. To make a love to you. Come down, take a step, and take me right now.

Uh, Melinda. What? Yes. Love. What you doing in my bed? What the hell happened to Gabby?

Stephan? Stephan? Answer. Why? Why are you calling me Stephan? What else would I call you? I mean, that’s your name. You look at me and see your ex-husband. I look at you and I see the love of my life who I thought I’d lost forever, and now you’re back and I’m never gonna let you go. I am Stephan. You are Stephan.

You remember? Of course, I remember it. I’m the man who loves you more than anything in this world. And I love you too, and I want you

take me to bed.

No peeking. I’m not.

I’m, are you almost done? Cause we really need to hurry yet. Yes, you go. Oh,

thank you. You know, for the life of me, I still don’t know why I end up dressed as a priest. Well, I’m just glad I was here to help and that no one saw you. I need to get these to the cleaners. Yeah. Make sure you’re steaming the bill. Who’s Bill? Okay. You know what? Just tell me later. Huh? I need to save your soul.

I appreciate that.

Oh, how did you. Do what? Change to that bikini. What do you mean? I’m not wearing a, oh. How does that happen? No idea. But you look good inside that bikini. You know what it reminds me of when you used to model for Bella Magazine? Wait, we should take some pictures for full-time sake. Oh yeah, that’s a great idea.

Great. Wait. I need a camera. Okay. I found it. Okay. Whenever you’re ready. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Okay. Come on. Perfect. Alright. Got it.

What’s wrong? You look amazing, Nicole. I mean, I love being on a beach with. Me too. I love that sand and the water. Sun. Ugh. Oh hot. Yes.

What the hell are you doing? I’d like to know the answer to that. Do you ever hear of knocking? You know, if you want to be alone, Rafe, maybe try locking the door. But this isn’t what it looks like, but what it looks like is that the police commissioner is coming onto you and you’re not very happy about it.

You know, you just committed a very serious crime. No, no, no, no, no. Did you even go to law school? Okay. Because in this country you’re guilty until proven innocent, and therefore I am innocent. You. You’re guilty. You’re guilty of marching. My mellow What? I meant horsing, my mellow. I said, Marshing, my mellow marsh marshmallow.

Do you My God,

honey. Anyway, what do you want? You summoned me. I did, yes. After Detective Hunter here raided my home, she left me a voicemail saying that she would like me to come down to the station as soon as possible. So, What I had a search warrant, whatever. Look, I brought my phone like you asked, okay? And yes, it is the only one that I have.

Great. I’ll have the tech team examine it right away. You’re not gonna find anything. By the way, with me and Paul, nothing connecting us to the alleged harassment, there’s nothing alleged about this. She received a threatening text message, not from me.

Talk about harassment. Okay, look, it looks like I came out of bad time. I’ll take that phone now.

Fine. But to know that you’ll be wasting even more of your time and the taxpayer’s money, and when you do finally come crawling back to me yet again to admit that this little witch hunt of yours has come up empty, be prepared to face a lawsuit. Because I am really getting sick of this. Du,

what are you looking at?

You are alive.

Toki. That’s you and Trip were dating. I told you he was moving in on her. Oh, I love trip. You guys make such a cute couple. You know, he and I did almost have sex once, but we were hammered so it doesn’t count. And you don’t have to worry about me selling him no trip and I are not dating. Oh, whoa, whoa. Wait, wait a minute.

I came over. Apartment the other night, and I told you all about my big plans to whine you and dine you at the bistro, but you told me that you had plans with Dr. Boy. We ended up not going out. Ah, drip flaked on you. Trip didn’t flake. Joey was in an accident and you wanted to be in Seattle with his brother.

Oh my God. Is Joey okay? He will be. Oh good. Okay. I’m gonna send him a gift basket and I’m gonna put it all against some donuts and cookies. Oh, oh. And send him doza. The biscuits and send me some too. Can we please get back to your engagement? Did you really just propose to Chanel because I agreed to go on a date with trip?

Yeah. Yeah, I think I did. Unbelievable. Wendy. Wendy, don’t be so mad. You, you can totally come to our wedding and we can even go on a date after if it’s cool with shit now, please tell me you’re. No, of course not. I, I, I just call a bistro, move the reservation. It’ll be,

you know, your sister warned me about how badly you treat women. She said You are reckless. Impulsive. But I didn’t believe her. Oh, my sister dis me. You too. Why is she such a hater? It’s getting really old. No. You know what’s getting old? This conversation?

Yeah. Johnny, I really thought we had something special. I really wanted this to work.

Mature the trip. No, I’m interested in trip, so rather than hiding it, I wanted to be open and honest about it. You know, do the mature and respectful thing and, and try to clarify my feelings for him before fully committing to you. It never occurred to me that it would make you do something so stupid. I mean, God.

You really are the jackass. Everyone says you are. We’re done.

So where should we go on our honeymoon?

I want you so bad step, please. I can’t wait any longer.

No, no, no, no, no. Gabby, I, I can’t do this. What? What’s wrong step? Don’t you want me? Of course. I want you, but not like this. I just, I don’t understand. Gabby, please. What? Tell me what is the problem step? Just tell me. The problem is I’m not stepping,

where is Gabby? How the hell should I know? What is this Some kind of game? No, I was just about to ask you the same thing. What did you do with her? Where is Gabby? I didn’t do anything to Gabby. Okay. Well, she was here and then, then she, she, she. And then she, what? She turned into you. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you, are you saying that you were just pretending that I was Gabby? Wait, that’s the only reason why you wanted me. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She was here. Okay. If you’re gonna use me to fulfill some fantasies about your ex-wife, at least have the guts to. Down up to it when you get caught. That’s not, that’s not at all.

I take time outta my incredibly busy life to pulling over on EJ and Lee and this is the things I get under humiliation.

No, not laughing. Don’t you dare laugh. Who’s laughing? Step. What the, what the hell are you doing? Melinda? Melinda, Melinda, take it easy. Melinda. Take me. Going to kill you.

Melin. Hey, what has gotten into you? Let’s help you entitle crepe. You have messed my head for the last time. Oh my God. Oh, Melinda, are you okay? I think I need a doctor.

I can. I’m not, Stephan, what are you talking about? I’m looking right at you, but what you’re seeing isn’t real, baby. You don’t have to do this. You don’t have to push me away. I already know that. Ley knows we’re together. He found out though we don’t have to sneak around or lie or anything. We’re free. And yes, I’m gonna lose this.

DER share’s a big deal. What matters now is that we’re free to show the entire world how we feel. That’s what matters now. Yes, Gabby, I did find out about you and Stephanie EJ sent me a picture of the two of you having sex in the Dera Wine Cellars. Why do you keep doing that? Why do you keep talking like you’re in third person for the last time?

I am not your ex-husband. I’m your current. The pitiful excuse for a man who was so desperate to hold onto you. I almost ended up in prison and, and after that, I still didn’t get the hint and diluted myself into thinking I could win you back with Sheila Keels and Van Gogh

Lee. Oh, thank God. What is going on? You’ve been hallucinating. You take something? No. What? No, I don’t do drugs. Well, clearly someone drugged you. Yeah, no, I, I do feel a little weird. Okay. Just take it easy. Okay. Oh, wait, lemme watch out for what?

Who the hell is Duke? I have no idea I missed you buddy. Oh God, you look great. Recovered like a chimp. Recovered what is from decapitation. It props to your effect, but uh, you shouldn’t be here right now. Okay. Says um. Nicole and I are over, and I was trying to get busy with this one when the uptight blonde witch showed up.

Excuses. No, it’s cool. Like we’re still buds. It’s just having, uh, the stuffed bear that my wife and I shared custody with, show up on my date. It’s just a little cramping. My style date, what, what type of date?

Why, why is the room I’m spinning right now? Are you okay? Uh, No, no, no, no. Oh, great. Breathe free.

Oh, I want you so much you here. All I want you.

Wait, wait, wait. What? What about Sloan? She needed things because I had trouble believing that she wasn’t stalking, pulling it, you know, lot of sex for her. Hmm mm-hmm. Wait a minute. What about you and ej? PJ is so boring. Told you all he wants to do is plot against his stupid undead brother. Be with you is so much more fun.

Except they run with your mocha. No, no, it’s, it’s fine. And why aren’t you drinking it? Ah, I don’t know. I guess I’m just kind of bummed that Wendy dumped me. I mean, I can see why she wouldn’t want to keep dating me if you and I are getting married. But I’m surprised it was a deal breaker. Hey, hey, hands.

What? Those things are delicious. Those things are for paying customer. Well, don’t I get a family discount? Oh, your family. Oh. Forgive me. My name is Johnny Dara. I am Chanel’s once and Future husband. Once and Future. Yeah, we’re getting married and you are the first person that we’ve told except for my almost girlfriend, but she doesn’t really count because she was eavesdropping on the proposal, so, but they’re getting married maybe.

Maybe you, you said? Yes. I’m not sure why I said that. Wait, wait, wait. Are you saying that you don’t want to be my first and second wife? I think so. So does this mean the honeymoon’s off too? Sorry. Hmm. Oh, well, I guess I should probably get home. Yeah, and I, I have to get back to work. Oh, where do you work?

Here, here at the Bakers. Cool. Oh, cool. Yeah. Well, maybe. Since I got dumped twice in one day, could I get some biscuits for the road?

Okay, well, I’m just gonna go home and take a nap.

What was that all about?

Woo. What did we just do?

Eric, open up. Are you in there? Oh my God, this mo sh. Maybe she’ll go away. Eric, open up. We need to talk.

Hello? I don’t think she’s going away.

What’s with the pillow? Um, I was getting dressed. Okay. Uh, so look, I, I came here cuz I wanted to apologize for overreacting. You know, I thought about, I did say to you that I was still planning on. Getting revenge on Chanel and Paulina. And while I’m not guilty of anything that they’re accusing me of, you know, it makes total sense.

Yeah. That you would find me suspicious. No, it’s not Mickey. Is that all? Oh, aren’t you gonna invite me in? I, uh, I, uh, uh, what, when, have you ever been nervous about me watching you get dressed? I don’t think so. I’m, I’ll call you later. Okay. Good. You’re hilarious.

How’s,

okay,

detective Har, I need to speak to you immediate. This isn’t a good time. Mr. Damara, what if I need to report an attempting partner? Two, actually. Okay. I’m listening. I’d rather EJ poisoned me and District Attorney Trask. He needs to be arrested. Do you have proof of this alleged poisoning? No, but I’m pretty sure he poisoned these breakfast biscuits.

We ate, did you say breakfast biscuits? Yeah. Nicole picked him up from Sweet Bits. Melinda and I both ate ’em and started hallucinating. She’s in the ER right now. Your brother may not be the one responsible for this.

Gabby, is that really you? My love’s me. Hey, what happened to her? That’s what we’re here to find out. Please hold me.

It’s gonna be okay.

Thanks. You feeling any better? Yeah. I don’t know what happened to me like with Johnny before. So he really asked you to marry him? Yeah, and I said yes, which is nuts. I, I don’t know. He was just so excited and I got caught up in the moment and I, I guess it was just like a temporary moment of insanity.

Isis they send you on a donut, right? I wish I’m actually here to investigate a crime. Did something happen to my mother? Ms. Price is fine. But the police commissioner and the DA are both in the hospital suffering from hallucination. Oh God, that’s awful. It’s, but what does that have to do with the bakery?

Well, they both ate breakfast biscuits that they purchased here this morning. There must have been something in them. Have the town had breakfast, uh, biscuits from here this morning. So have you gotten reports from other people being sick? Not yet. But if you really sold that many of them, then it’s likely that we.

This could ruin Chanel’s business. Oh my God. Oh my God. Okay. One step at a time. Okay. Chanel, do you think it’s possible that someone may have spiked those biscuits? Yes, and I know exactly who it was.

I was fast. This isn’t what it looks. One more person says that to me today. I swear to God. I meant, I know. Really, son. I don’t know how this happened. Yes, you do. You got undressed and you took out your banana. She means camera. Yeah. He was gonna take pictures of me. Yeah. For all time sake. But I’m. Think that really ever happened?

Hmm. I If you’re trying to convince me that the two of you didn’t just have sex or, oh no, we definitely had sex. But you, we were wearing a bikini. Yeah. Wait, what happened to it? Yeah. Wearing my collar. Collar caller. Yeah. You were supposed to take that to dry cleaner, which I don’t think ever happened. Well, I thought he was dressed as a priest and turns out he.

Yeah, and she was wearing a bikini, but now that’s gone.

So you guys are seeing things that aren’t there. And thinking things that are, there are something else. Yeah, exactly. And you guys ended up in bed together and you both don’t know how it happened.

It sounds to me like you guys were drugged. It had to be Sloan Peterson. Are you sure? Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I leaked the story about her harassing mama to the Spectator, and now she’s coming after me. But how would Sloan know that you were the source? Well, I ran into her yesterday and I told her, and then we got into it physically.

Thank goodness I was able to break it up though. But not before Sloany blood. Oh my God, that woman is a total psycho. And that is exactly what the headline on Leo’s column said. So it makes sense. Look, it cost her business. So now she’s trying to hurt my business. But Sloane was at the police station when RA passed out, and she seemed just as shocked as I was.

Well, she was clearly putting on an. Oh my God. Maybe the, that’s what happened to Johnny. Johnny Dara. Yeah. Johnny was acting really weird before, and actually so was I, and we both had those biscuits. Oh, this has Sloane Peterson written all over it. Who else would do something that twisted.

Okay. I don’t know whether Sloan is behind this or not. I can promise you this. This is going to be my top priority and I’m gonna find out who’s been drugging the citizens of. And I’m going to bring them to justice.

Devon: Hang on. Shh. Get your breath, okay? Welcome to your home.

Abby: Aw.

[ Both chuckling ]

[ Knock on door ]

Audra: Victoria.

Victoria: Audra. I didn’t hear you.

Audra: Yeah, you were a million miles away. Where was your head just now?

Summer: You and my mom go way back. You definitely had history.

Diane: Yes, we did, but um…

Phyllis: Good job, summer.

Diane: Uh, this is a time for phyllis’s loved ones. Um, the people who knew her best.

Summer: Say anything. Say what’s in your heart.

Jack: Summer, I don’t think it’s appropriate for diane to speak on this occasion.

Diane: You know, victor hasn’t said anything. Perhaps he’d like to add something.

Victor: I shall share my thoughts with my granddaughter in private.

Diane: That is a wonderful idea and I think I’ll follow his lead.

Summer: Oh, come on, diane. Don’t be shy. I know that you can do this. I mean, you had no problem sharing how you felt about my mother the last time you saw her. So please, just think of this as a chance to help my family grieve. And that’s why I wanted to keep this informal, intimate so that we could all lean on each other and speak our truths. The way my mom would have wanted.

[ Diane exhaling ] For people who are a little intense about hydration.

Abby: This is exactly what I needed. And these flowers, they’re heavenly. We’re actually doing this.

Devon: Yes, we are actually doing this.

Abby: I really, really, really don’t want to leave but there is so much left to do.

Devon: You don’t have to go anywhere. Let the movers handle everything else. You’re exactly where you need to be. And there’s one more thing.

Abby: One more thing.

Devon: Yes.

Abby: Hmm.

Devon: I think you’re gonna like it.

Abby: Oh. My very own set of keys.

Devon: Yes.

Abby: This makes it official.

Devon: Right?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: It will be really official though when louise brings dominic here because I got him some apple juice and some new baby bongos.

Abby: You’re spoiling us.

Devon: Well, that’s the plan. I don’t know if I can guarantee roses and champagne every single time you come home, but I’m never gonna stop trying to surprise you.

Abby: I like the sound of that. Not the surprising me part, but the coming home part. I love you for this, for wanting me and dominic here, for making this real.

Diane: Fine. Okay. Um, I’m– I’m– I’m not even sure what to say. As everyone here knows, uh, phyllis and I weren’t exactly friends.

Jack: You don’t have to do this.

Diane: No, no, jack, it’s okay. Because what I do know is that she loved her children and that you and daniel meant everything to her. And I–

[ Chair scraping ]

Daniel: Um, I think that’s maybe my cue to speak. You know my mother, um, I don’t really know if I could sum mom up in mere words. A friend of mine once described her to me as fierce. I would definitely say that that is an understatement. You know how when you’re a kid, you think that your mom is the most beautiful person in the world. That’s how I saw her. That’s how I’ll always see her. You know, this is, um… just paint and paper. Um, it resembles her. But my mom, she… she was an adventure. I mean, she crackled, she dazzled.

[ Chuckling ] She was unpredictable– you know, at the center of all of that there– there was this intense, just laser focused love. And it was that intensity that touched everything that she did, for better or for worse. I need to tell you, sometimes it was really hard to– to watch her just waste that brilliance. That sheer power that she had on the wrong things because she was that amazing. She really was and she shouldn’t be gone. No, I mean, not yet. Yeah, even in this, um, horrible, senseless death, I feel like she’s still trying to teach me. You know, she’s trying to teach me how to love better and to fight harder for and I feel like she’s trying to teach me how to protect the ones that you love and care about the most with everything that you’ve got. I just wish I could have learned those lessons while she was still alive. And I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I didn’t understand. I’m sorry that we fought. I’m sorry that I spent so much time away from you and I’m sorry that I won’t get any more time with you. I love you, mom. I always will. Why give your family just any eggs

Victoria: My mind was on a new venture. The risks, the rewards, how to maximize capital investment to accelerate growth.

Audra: Sounds exciting.

Victoria: Very.

Audra: Is there anything I can do to help?

Victoria: No, I’ve got this. Thank you.

Audra: These are the figures for the langston deal.

Victoria: Thank you. Adjusted earnings before taxes total indebtedness ratio. Excellent.

Audra: Yeah, I went ahead and did an analysis on the adjusted free cash flow to, you know, get a better idea of the company’s operating performance.

Victoria: You’re one step ahead. That’s exactly what I was gonna ask for next.

Audra: I like to be thorough.

Victoria: You continue to impress.

Audra: Just doing what I love.

Victoria: Well, you’re providing superb backup for nate, that’s for sure.

Audra: That’s the plan. To give nate everything he needs. Uh, so he can do his job to the best of his ability.

Victoria: Well, he does continue to– to prove himself, doesn’t he? It’s been a while since we’ve had a ceo of newman media with his talent.

Audra: Yeah, I know exactly how gifted he is. You know, his instincts are remarkable. So, it wouldn’t surprise me if he shot straight up the ladder here, you know, or somewhere else. So, it doesn’t hurt that I am familiar with practically every aspect of the projects that matter most to him.

Victoria: Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I’m hearing right now is that if nate were promoted, or if he were poached, you would want to take his place?

Danny: When I look at my son,

[ Danny sighing ] I– I see phyllis’s heart. I know her capacity for love and generosity of spirit, will– will live on in daniel and summer and lucy. Her humor, her brilliance.

[ Danny sighing ] Speechified has never really been my thing, so, uh, I’d like to honor phyllis with a song, if you don’t mind.

[ All applaud ]

[ Piano playing ]

I have a life

I live a life

it’s more like living

day to day just to get by

and it’s okay

’cause I get through

but I know there’ll

never be another you

I’ve got my friends

they’re always there

and someone special

that I know who really cares

but late some nights

a voice cries through

reminding me there’ll

never be another you

I can recall

all those winters and falls

nights of love

that I thought

would be always with us

writing our plans

on the beach, in the sand

but they faded in time

in the wind and with you

oh

I think of you

from time to time

sometimes I wonder

if I ever cross your mind

but looking back

is hard to do

because it reminds me

there won’t be

another you

there’ll never be

another

you

[ All applaud ] She found it.

Audra: I guess I’m always looking for the next challenge. Uh, but of course, this is all just hypothetical, at least for now. But, you know, who knows what the future will bring?

Victoria: Well, as for the now, nate just started as a ceo of newman media and you’re an even more recent hire.

Audra: Yeah, I– I’m very aware of that. I have a great deal to learn and a lot to offer, which is why I want to make myself as useful as possible. So until the day comes when you need a new ceo, you know, I look forward to continuing to prove myself to newman media and to you.

Devon: What’s on your mind, pretty lady?

Abby: I’m nervous, but in a good way. I’m excited and happy and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead for us in the future.

Devon: Well, I know exactly what you mean because after these last few months of being angry, being hurt and making bad choices, I finally feel like I’m getting back to the life that I want. And that’s spending time with the people that make me happy. Which means staying with chancellor-winters and lily. And making a life and a home, right here with you and dominic. And you got me here. I’ve never been more excited about my future.

Daniel: Um, listen everyone, I just want to say on behalf of my sister and myself, thank you all so much for coming out today. Uh, you have no idea how much it means to us to be able to share our mom with you and to hear your love for her. So, please just have another drink, maybe share a story and uh, let’s just keep this celebration going just a bit longer.

[ Diane sighing ]

Jack: Hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?

Diane: Yeah, I’m– I’m fine. Just why did summer make me get up and say something about phyllis? And she wasn’t taking no for an answer. It was just really– it was just really awkward.

Jack: It was awkward. Summer’s lost her mother. I think her grief is hitting her pretty hard.

Victor: My beautiful girl. You just remember that you have your mother’s heart, strength and courage. And you have all of our support. Don’t you ever forget it.

Summer: I won’t, grandpa.

Nikki: It was a beautiful service, darling.

Summer: Thank you for letting me do it my way. I know that you were worried.

Nikki: Only about you. Your mother would be so proud. I love you.

Summer: I love you.

Lauren: That was such a beautiful song.

Michael: There wasn’t a dry eye in the house, you know, thanks to you.

Danny: Well, I– I just wanted to honor phyllis.

Michael: It was a wonderful tribute. She would’ve been so moved. Despite everything, you’re a huge part of her life.

Lily: I loved your speech. It was really, really beautiful. And I could tell it came from your heart. And I hope you know that your mom is always with you. Her spirit, her love, the memories that you have. Because I mean, as much as it hurt to lose my parents, I feel them with me every single day.

Danny: Excuse the interruption. I thought we could all grab a bite to eat. What do you say? And of course, lily, we’d love for you to join us.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I’d love that. Thank you.

Danny: Great.

Daniel: Um, let me just say goodbye to summer real quick.

Danny: Sure, of course.

Daniel: Hey.

Summer: Hey.

Daniel: I just wanna tell you, this whole event was so wonderful. Mom really would have loved it.

Summer: I’m so glad that you spoke.

Daniel: Me too. I love you.

Summer: I love you.

Daniel: Yeah.

Phyllis: You think you’ve won diane, don’t you? You haven’T. I will do anything to protect my family. Anything, and I will expose you for the lying, cheating psychopath that you really are. And your marriage, that’ll never happen as long as I’m alive. My moderate to severe plaque psoriasis…

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: There you are.

Nate: Sorry, I’m late. I had to run back and grab some notes that I forgot this morning.

Victoria: No, not at all. Don’t worry about it. It gave me a chance to go over the figures for the langston report that audra compiled. She also put together an analysis of the operating performance.

Nate: Above and beyond, as usual. She is impressive.

Victoria: Well, that’s one word for it, I suppose.

Nate: Did something happen?

Victoria: You know, while I am, um, happy that you didn’t decide to go back to medicine after the other night’s events, I have this feeling that your coo doesn’t feel the same.

Nate: Still in the dark.

Victoria: Audra has her eyes on your job.

[ Both laughing ]

Nate: Gotta love her.

Victoria: You’re not concerned?

Nate: I’d be a little disappointed if she wasn’t angling for my desk. That’s what makes audra so damn good at her job. Her ambition, confidence. Maybe I see something of myself in her.

Victoria: And you don’t mind looking over your shoulder?

Nate: Uh, the last thing I want to do is discourage her enthusiasm. And there’s nothing wrong with a second in command who’s on top of what’s going on.

Victoria: I hope that that doesn’t mean that you have any plans to move on?

Nate: Oh, I love my job. I’m not going anywhere. At least, not by choice. So, you are stuck with me.

Victoria: Well, I’m very glad to hear that.

Lily: But, thank you for including me.

Danny: Of course. Yeah. I thought it would be good if we all, you know, decompressed. Spent some time with loved ones.

Lily: Yeah.

Danny: Did you know that before your father became a gifted artist and game developer, he was a banana?

Lucy: Excuse me?

Danny: Yeah, that’s right, yes. And lily was a strawberry.

Lily: I cannot believe you told your dad about that. Really? You told him?

Daniel: Apparently I did.

Lucy: What happened?

Danny: Well, these two free spirits free spirited themselves all the way to the west coast.

Lucy: You guys ran away?

Daniel: No, not exactly.

Lily: Yes, exactly. We ran away. We did and we needed jobs, so.

Daniel: And the only way we could make any money was…

Lucy: Pretending to be fruit?

Daniel: Yeah, something like that. Pretty much.

Danny: Ah, you kids are something else. You know, I still have that video your mom sent me of your graduation day. I showed it to everybody on the tour, I think many times and uh, I’m just so proud of you and so was your mom. Not just for the huge milestone, but for the man you were becoming.

[ Diane exhaling ]

Diane: Every time I turn around, she is staring at me.

Jack: Hey, as lovely as all of this has been. I think everyone here is on edge.

Diane: Why is he even here? What, were he and phyllis particularly close?

Jack: As I understand it, he’s here to make sure stark doesn’t cause any trouble. I, for one, am grateful he succeeded.

Kyle: Summer.

Chance: Excuse me.

Kyle: How are you holding up?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Even after all of this, I just can’t believe she’s really gone.

Kyle: She would’ve loved it. The wonderful memories, all the people who loved her, danny’s song. I think she really would have liked the part where you put my mother on the spot. Any particular reason you did that?

Summer: Just um, just kind of came to me in the moment. I guess I was sort of channeling my mom, you know. How she liked to mix things up.

Kyle: Summer, what is it?

Chance: Diane, can I speak with you outside, please?

Jack: Uh, no. No, she’s not going anywhere.

Chance: Jack, I’m not trying to cause a scene. I just need to speak with diane.

Diane: What do you want to speak with me about?

Jack: This is a memorial service. A family is mourning, this isn’t the place.

Kyle: I agree. Whatever the authorities want can wait.

Summer: Why don’t we just hear what detective chancellor has to say?

Diane: I want to go home.

Jack: How about meeting us at the house?

Chance: Listen, jack, I was trying to be discreet about this, but if this is how you wanna do it, fine. Diane jenkins, you are under arrest for the murder of phyllis summers.

[ Diana gasping ] Nicorette knows quitting smoking is freaking hard.

Victoria: Solid metrics, favorable debt to equity ratio.

Nate: With nowhere to go but up. These numbers are even more promising than I anticipated.

Victoria: And using the cash we have earmarked for mccall gives us the liquidity to take langston to the next level.

Nate: Your instincts to jettison the mccall deal were spot on. This purchase is going to expand our market share and make one hell of a power statement.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. And newman is all about power. So, we’re agreed?

Nate: It’s a go.

Victoria: All right. Well, then I will call first thing in the morning and I’ll make the offer. All right, work hours are over. How about we have a drink to celebrate? I bought this new bourbon that I’ve just been dying to try. And if I remember correctly, we seemed to enjoy the last bottle that we shared?

Nate: Very much.

[ Chuckling ] You do know what I like.

Lily: Those empanadas were so good.

Daniel: Mm. Not nearly as good as those grilled cheese you used to make when we were kids.

Lily: What are you talking about? You said I burned them.

Daniel: No, they were just a little crispy. It’s made with extra love, right?

Lily: Yes, absolutely.

Daniel: I think that I actually prefer them that way now.

Lily: No, you don’T.

Danny: You know what? It, uh, it looks like my granddaughter could use some rest.

Daniel: Oh, okay. When’s the last time you slept?

Lucy: Oh, no, dad, it’s okay. You’ve had bigger things to worry about than my jet lag.

Daniel: No, no, no, no. Let’s– let’s get you back to the hotel.

Lucy: No, no. I mean you– you stay. You haven’t even ordered dessert yet and that’s your favorite part.

Danny: Your daughter knows you well. I can take her back, and besides, I will enjoy having a little extra time with this little angel.

Daniel: Well, okay then. I’m– I’m convinced.

Danny: Great. All right.

Lucy: Let’s go.

Daniel: Oh, right now? Okay. Okay.

Danny: Come here, you. I love you.

Daniel: I love you too, dad.

Lucy: Bye, dad.

Lily: Have a good night.

Danny: Okay. Thank you, for everything.

Lily: Of course.

Danny: Okay, we’re off.

Daniel: Okay.

Lucy: Have fun.

Lily: All right. Bye guys.

Danny: See you soon.

Lily: Get some rest.

Lucy: I will.

Lily: Bye.

Daniel: Did you see that?

Lily: What?

Daniel: Pretty sure the two of them are just trying to set us up.

Lily: What?

[ Lily laughing ]

Policewoman: Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law–

Jack: Are handcuffs really necessary here?

Chance: Don’t make this harder than it has to be.

Diane: This is a mistake. I did not do anything. I did not kill phyllis.

Jack: This is insane. Diane is to blame for an ambulance accident that phyllis died in? She was at the gala all night. There are people, many of whom are in this room, can verify it.

Chance: Jack, there is new evidence. A lethal amount of toxin was found in her blood prior to the crash.

Jack: Phyllis was poisoned? That can’t be.

Lauren: That certainly explains her stumbling and the way she fell.

Diane: So, you think I poisoned phyllis? That’s ridiculous.

Kyle: There’s no way my mother did this.

Diane: No, it had to be jeremy stark. He did this, you know–

Jack: Why haven’t you arrested stark? No one here believes he’s married to phyllis.

Chance: I am following the evidence.

Jack: And it leads to diane? That makes no sense at all. What possible proof do you have that she’s involved?

Chance: You know what, I’m not gonna answer any more of your questions. I’m gonna have to take her. Let’s go. Come on.

Diane: No, you know what–

Kyle: Mom, I promise we’ll figure this out. We’ll get you home as soon as possible.

Diane: I didn’t do anything. I want to talk to a lawyer. Michael. Michael, please help me. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Daniel: Can I walk you to your car?

Lily: Oh, no, it’s okay. I’m just right there.

Daniel: Okay. Um… thank you for being there today. And for helping me through the other day. You know, for trying to help me when I don’t even know what it is that I need.

Lily: I think the two of us helping each other will never change. Even after all these years. Get some rest, okay? And please let me know if you need anything.

Daniel: I will.

Lily: Night.

Daniel: Good night.

Nate: Ooh, 20 year old single barrel reserve. Doesn’t get much better than this.

Victoria: I’m so glad you approve.

[ Victoria chuckling ] The kentucky chew.

Nate: I love the heat it creates on the tongue. Experiencing every nuance the bourbon has to offer.

Victoria: Oh.

Nate: That nice, long finish.

Victoria: Mm. Yum. Leather, spice.

Nate: Just the right amount of sweet.

Victoria: You’re an expert?

Nate: Well, when I’m intrigued by something, I want to know everything I can about it.

Victoria: Oh, I see.

Nate: Unlock the mystery. Make it mine.

Victoria: A man of passion.

Nate: A man with an empty glass.

Victoria: Oh, mm. Dare I offer you a refill or is that too dangerous on a week night?

Nate: When you’re offering me something I obviously want, how can I resist?

Victoria: You resisted before.

Nate: This time, resistance is futile.

[ Both panting ]

Diane: Please michael, say that you’ll represent me. Don’t let them lock me up.

Lauren: Don’t tell me you are seriously considering defending diane right now.

Chase: The evidence will be out soon.

Diane: You have to believe me. I did not kill phyllis. I am innocent and whatever evidence they have against me, I’ve been framed.

Michael: I’m sorry, diane.

Diane: Michael.

Michael: Have jack call an attorney and don’t say a word until one is present.

Jack: I promise I will get you the very best representation. Someone who will get these charges laughed out of court.

Chase: Okay, let’s go. Come on.

Jack: I’m gonna follow in my car. You stay here with summer.

Summer: Go. I’ve got my dad here.

Kyle: Okay.

Nick: You okay?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I guess I got what I’ve been hoping for. The truth. Diane killed my mom. She always said that diane was dangerous and I should have believed her.

[ Summer sobbing ]

[ Phyllis sighing ]
