THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Why aren’t you at the office? Good morning to you too. Good morning. And I repeat, why aren’t you at work? Aunt Maggie banished me from the office.

She thinks this would be a distraction at client meetings. So she told me to stay home until it healed. Oh, right. So it’s a image issue and it has nothing to do with the fact that you went behind her back to Victor. Okay. So you do know about that. Haven’t you been on this family long enough to know that that is a stupid thing to.

Although I sugar coated and it was also,

what’s the word I’m looking for? A really crappy thing to do.

What’s this? I begged you some lemon bars. What did I do to deserve it? Oh, I wanted to thank you for the profile of me that you ran. In the spectator, you mean the glowing profile. I didn’t recognize that woman. But I did impress some of our investors. I just printed the truth that you’re a brilliant picture on the family business and an idiot couldn’t see that.

And yes, that was a digger. Alex, speaking of Alex, I understand that you’re responsible for his black eye, and we did have a little disagreement. Mm-hmm. I wanna know what the disagreement was about.

For God’s sake. Ah. Oh, what’s going on? What happened? You overslept. I woke you. Ah. That is a lousy reason. Who’s having a dream? Harry Styles was spitting on me. It’s just getting to the good part. What? You are demented. You should watch what you say to me. This is the first time in ages I’ve been able to sleep in my own bed.

You owe me. You know what? You are right. I’m sorry. Oh, you don’t have to apologize. If it were me, I’d be hitting Alex Kiya as 24 7 2. Which does beg the question. Why were you flying solo last night?

Oh, Rachel. Sweet, sweet little girl. You have no idea how much I miss you. Damira, you’ve got a visitor. I wasn’t expecting anyone, neither were we.

Hi Molly.

I am off the hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip call. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is safe from the lady. What is that supposed to mean? I just turned in this new column. Chloe Lane. Brady Black’s daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God, that double crossing. Snake Brady.

Hey. Hey. Is that the Spectator? Yeah. Yeah. I was just reading the latest, uh, column from, uh, lady Whistleblower. I can’t believe Leo. Would print this crap. Brady, I am so sorry. Please don’t hate me. I can explain.

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

Oh, oh. I,

I just can’t believe that you’re here. Daddy said he was gonna bring you here, but I didn’t know it was gonna be so soon. Where’s your daddy? He’s not here.

Does he know that you are? No, he doesn’t.

Okay.

I am so sorry. Why, why Leo’s the one spreading these rumors about my grandfather. I mean, he, he said, he said, uh, yeah, he’s going senile you, you, you had nothing to do with this. Was that all that he wrote? Uh, uh, no, there’s something else about Alex being in a fistfight and, uh, Stephan Damara and Melinda Trask, uh, being spotted together outside the Salem in, oh, can I, can I see it?

Yeah. Are you expecting something else or no? Uh, ah, then what, Chloe, why did you say, Brady? Please, please don’t, don’t hate me. Well, I ran into Leo yesterday and he asked why you and I weren’t together and I didn’t give him any details or anything, but then he said he was gonna write about it. Okay. That looks like he changed his mind.

Yeah, I guess so.

So what’s the deal? Why didn’t Alex sleep over last night? I told you I was busy working. Plus, it’s not like we’re a couple or anything. And still you don’t wanna lose momentum. What do you mean by momentum? Well, I assume you took my advice and started using Alex to makeand. Jealous. Golly. If the plan works, maybe Zander will even ask me to the hop scoff, if you must.

But the plan is already working. I heard he and Alex got into a fight. He was defending, my honor, I don’t know how it started, but it ended with Xander giving Alex one hell of a black eye.

If you want that bruise to go away quickly, you need to keep it iced. There you go. You know that from experience. Yes. I’m patching you up over the years. Ah, well I do have that kind of face, guys wanna punch it, but I punch. Does Xander look as bad as you do that? Come on, the guy had an unfair advantage.

Think about it. How long has that Neanderthal been like a, a professional muscle and yet somehow I suspect that this fight was personal? I guess so. Alex, that was my discreet way of asking you. What were you two fighting about? He doesn’t like it. That I’m sleeping with Gwen. You are sleeping with Gwen wrist check.

Yep. Voluntarily. She’s a beautiful woman dad, and she’s smart in that accent. Are you kidding me? Come on. Maybe Zander wasn’t mad at you, Alex. Maybe he was just trying to knock some scents into that thick skull of yours.

I, uh, I thought I was alone. Um, obviously. Uh, so, uh, what are you, what are you doing here? Why, why aren’t you at work? I had some, uh, use it or lose it vacation days, so I decided to take today off. Sorry, I interrupted your, Underwear dance party. Yeah. Uh, there’s some very interesting moves there. Yes, I know.

I’m a, I’m a pretty terrible dancer. Allie and Chanel both tried to teach me, but, uh, I still suck. I don’t know. You were a pretty good slow dancer in Hong Kong.

Anyone can do that. But anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. Oh yeah. I’ll, I’ll help. Yeah. I’m sorry, I was gonna grab the broom. Yeah, I was gonna get the dust pan.

I guess I’ll get the door instead. That’s probably a good idea. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, sorry I didn’t call first. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.

Alex is sleeping with Gwen. Good heavens. Has he forgotten what she did to Sarah and let alone to Abigail, to Laura, to Jennifer, to Jack, to all the children. Maggie, I don’t think Alex was looking for a soulmate, you know? Right. What is it about her that make men so stupid? Oh, okay. Sorry. It’s fine, Maggie. I, I know how you feel about her and God knows she brought it on herself.

But look how, how you think this song, you’ll think this is stupid as well, but I just, I know Alex is gonna hurt her. Gwen’s not as tough as she likes to. Oh, so you looking out for the little lady? Oh, Xander. Men don’t punch other men to make a difference in the world. Men punch men because they’re jealous.

Okay. Yes, Alex and Zander, they got into a fight, but it’s not because Zander was jealous. He was just being a wanker about me sleeping with. Being a wanka because your ex is sleeping with somebody else defines jealousy and don’t tell Leo Stark, AKA Mattie who knows all and sees all that you are not screwing Alex to screw with Sander.

You like getting under his skin. Okay, maybe a little bit, but are not proud of it. You should be screwing with people is your best event. I shouldn’t have woken you. I should have just put a pillow over your. Would you need me? I’m the only one who can explain you to you. I don’t need you to explain me to me.

I am fully aware that I still have feelings for Sandra, but they’re not strong enough to play second fiddle to that sainted. Sarah Horton the healer. As long as he still thinks that the sun rises and sets out of a skinny ass, I, I don’t want him back. Of course you don’t, but he made you feel like dirt. So turn about his fair.

There’s nothing wrong with making him suffer a little. And like I said, you’re so good at it. So from what I understand, I, uh, I owe you an apology for what? I went to see Kristen yesterday and she told me that she called you. Yeah, she did. What did she say about it? She said that she had made some digs about you and your breakup with s Stephan, Chloe.

I’m sorry about that. You shouldn’t have to deal with that. No, it’s okay. I really shouldn’t let her get under my skin like that. Yeah, she, she, she does everything she possibly can to make your life miserable. I hate that, but I may have found a way to neutralize. At least swear Rachel’s concerned. And what’s that?

I made Kristen write a letter to Rachel saying that she needed to accept our relationship. And how in God’s name did you manage that? I played a little dirty, but Kristen wrote the letter and I gave it to Rachel last night. And how did she react? She didn’t say much, but you and I both know Kristen has some serious sway with Rachel.

Sweetheart, you used daddy’s phone and took an Uber here by yourself. Honey, that’s dangerous. But it wasn’t mommy. The driver was really nice. Okay. Okay. Uh, So you got here. How did you get in to see me? Didn’t the guards like stop you? They tried, but then I fake cried.

You told them that you had to see your mommy, huh? Yeah. They really are my daughter.

Why did you go to all this? Hmm. I mean, is is something wrong? Nothing.

Is this?

Hey, trip. How’s it hanging? Uh, good, thanks. Um, excuse me, I’m gonna go dress. Oh, don’t bother on Mike. Count.

I can tell you have questions. Um, yeah. Yeah. Like, um, does Tripp usually like to parade around the apartment in his underwear? He was home alone. Hmm. He was pretty startled when he saw me, and that’s why there’s cereal all over the floor. Got it. Now I have a question for you. What are you doing here? Uh, well I called you at the office, but they said you took the day off, so I thought maybe we could hang out.

That is, if you’re willing to forgive me.

Look, I know Gwen has done some messed up things. Aiding and abetting. A kidnapper is a little more than messed up. She didn’t aid and a bet, she just kept her mouth. How about sending Abigail and Sarah to the bin? What’s that? A lapse in judgment.

I don’t mean to shock you right now, dad. I really don’t. But it’s not Gwen’s character that I’m interested in. We’re using each other. Oh, is that what you young kids call it these days? I mean, she’s helping me get over Stephanie. I’m helping her get over Xander and full the life of me. I can’t understand why she’s hung up on the guy.

I mean, it’s a total douche bag. I’m not no jealous. Right. And punching Gwen’s new Paramore is just a what? A fit of peak. Fine. Maybe I’m just a little bit jealous. I don’t have any right to be, not since I told Gwen that I’m, you told Gwen what? I’m not over Sarah. Oh, I think about Sarah all the time. Maggie, have you, have you heard from you?

She loves her new job at the hospital and her and Rex, they’re, they’re dating there. Sander. Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. Well, without getting into details, she’s, she’s moved on. She has new life in Chicago. She’s not looking back. I don’t think you should look back either. Surely there must be someone out there for you.

Well, I do know there’s great looking redhead, but unfortunately she’s married

to a man that you don’t wanna mess.

I know it hurt to lose Sarah, but you need to follow her lead. You need to move on. You need to let Gwen move on. Hopefully Antarctica.

That’s funny. What is, when I run a story about Chloe calling Brady’s daughter a deranged monster, I expect more than one comment, and it’s about a split infinitive, whatever the hell that is. Wait a minute, not now. All the stuff about Chloe was completely cut from my column. Did you forget to put it in? Of course not.

It was my late story. What the hell happened?

You really think it’ll work, Kristen? Writing? Rachel that letter? I really do. I don’t think it’s gonna be that long before you and Rachel the best of friends,

and maybe you and I could finally just be together again. I have missed you so damn much I’ve missed you. Then let’s get started on this. I’ll, I’ll pick Rachel up from school and then. The three of us, we will hang out. We’ll have a great time and be fun. Please say yes. Okay? Yes, I am game if you, terrific.

All right, I have to go do some work, but um, we’ll call you later.

Bye.

Sweetheart, this letter, I wrote it myself, so you’re really okay with daddy. Being with Chloe,

fucking withhold much more than just, uh, dry from here. What is that supposed to mean? You know exactly what it means. All right. I want you to think of this as just a simple of what you could lose. You are gonna write a letter to Rachel telling her that you no longer harbor any animosity towards Chloe, and that you are fine with Daddy and Chloe being together.

Okay? If you don’t, you are not gonna see Rachel ever. Honey, it’s, it’s complicated. You know what? You are a big girl now, and I think you deserve to know the truth.

Look, I know I really screwed up okay. When I swiped trip’s hospital card, but I tried to make things right. Oh, I know you did.

So does that mean you’re willing to give me another. Chance,

you know it’s hard to stay mad at you when you gimme that set. Good. I’ve been practicing that thing all morning. Oh, please. You’ve had that look down pat since you were four years old. Ah, I still have to practice every day. I don’t wanna get complacent.

So do you have a mind for it today? Well, I thought we could stream some won car y movies. And then orders some moose. You poor? No. Oh, no, no, no. I I, I didn’t choose him cuz he is Chinese. I, I, I chose him because he, he’s a great filmmaker. Okay. He is. Yeah. Thought we could start with, uh, in the mood for love.

Real start.

Hey, trip. You wanna join us for a movie? Uh, no, no, thank you. I’m, I’m gonna go for front, but have fun. We,

I can see how it could be hard to get over Stephanie. You could say that nice, good-hearted, grounded woman like Stephanie. Here he comes. I just wonder, wouldn’t it be perhaps more effective to try and get over her with someone who’s vaguely like her and not an unhinged sociopath? Am I messing things up?

Dad? It’s really hard to tell what you. I’m just thinking out loud. Okay, well, let me think out loud. Say I do meet somebody vaguely like Stephanie, I might fall in love again. That can’t happen because falling in love sucks. And yet there are so many songs that disagree with you. Oh, there’s so much sentimental propaganda.

Sex works best when it’s. How about that song? Okay, well maybe someday when you grow up you’ll think differently about it. How about we continue this conversation then? You know, I don’t mean to pry. Nah, you never do. But does Gwen know that she is, uh, only a relief player? I wouldn’t put it that way, but I assume she.

Well, I would feel a whole lot better if you nailed that down because when it comes to a woman scorned, Gwen could give the, uh, Bors gals a run for their money.

Thanks for checking, Linda. Well, did you find out what happened to my story? Was there some kind of mix up? No, it was cut on purpose. Who the hell did that?

Sander. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. It’s not something I hear too often. Usually people see me and then turn and run the other way. Can hurt my feelings ly. Well. Have you ever tried not being an obnoxious jerk? Well, this is a concern, isn’t it? Uh, I, I’m sorry, but you did abandon me in Mexico with a psychotic drug, Lord, so it’s kind of hard not to hold a grudge.

Fair enough. But, uh, begs a question. Why are you glad to see me? I wanted to ask you about Leo’s column. When I saw Brady this morning, I thought for sure he’d wanna kill me after what I’d said about Rachel. But that didn’t end up in the story. Do you know what happened to it? I cut it. Zander. Why would Zander cut my column?

I dunno. Linda said that Zander just told her to take a cut from your draft, but it was the best part. Not to mention, it totally undermines all the work I did to double cross. Chloe. What do you mean? I asked her to get me free clothes from basic black’s latest men’s line, and then I said I wouldn’t print it.

I got one of everything in a medium. But I was gonna print it anyway. Now Chloe’s gonna think I held up my end of the bargain. Think about what that is gonna do to my reputation. Oh my darling, Massie cakes. You could donate a win to the hospital and everyone will still think you are vile, reprehensible, and completely untrustworthy.

Oh, I’m just trying to make me feel better. Mm. But Xander took all the fun out of it. Where are you going? I’m going to give that sneak a piece of my mind. Careful, there’s not much of that left.

Anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. I’ll help. I was gonna get the broom. I was the,

I am sorry. I’m not

right. Love monster. The granola not gonna happen though.

Okay. That. Was amazing. I mean the love of lighting, the angles, it was perfect. And the way that Maggie Chung and Tony Leon shared that fleeting glance of the Noodle Shop so romantic, would you say that it, um, has you in the mood for love? Yes. A sure I am not. No, I am. I am. I am suave. Okay. I am sophisticated.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Don’t, I’m sophistication. No, don’t get offended. I like that about you. The dorkiness. I mean, the way you can make me laugh even with a very fairy lame joke. Yeah. Yeah. And I like how you can somehow manage to compliment me and insult me. Okay. All at the same time. Let me put it this way. I’m really glad you came over today.

Yeah, me too,

Rachel. Honey, as you know, your daddy and I have things. We just don’t agree about it. Rachel, Isabella Black. What are you doing here? I can’t see. Mommy, you young lady is supposed to be in school. Your principal called me and told me you weren’t in class. I had used my cell to track you down here. How did you get here?

She used your phone to call an Uber? No, she stole my phone. Did you put her up to this? Did you? Oh my God, I don’t did. You certainly did. I have no idea. She was coming and you were so shocked that she showed up here that you didn’t think of calling me and letting me know that she hadn’t been kidnapped her.

She’s not in some ditch somewhere. I was going to call you. She was so upset and I just, I needed to comfort her. I wish she so upset. Well, she wanted to know if what I wrote in this letter was true, that I was okay with you and Chloe being. Mm-hmm. And what did you say to her? Well, when you burst in here, I was just about to tell her that I meant everything I wrote.

Hey, listen to me, sweetheart. I just want your daddy to be happy, and if that means being with Chloe. So

you killed Leo’s story. Oh, I’m sure you would’ve preferred I just killed Leo, period, but I’m not that guy anymore. Well, how, how did you make that happen? The perks of being the publishers. I get to decide what is and is not fit to print. And Leo’s story about you bat mouthing a little girl. It wasn’t fit in my.

Well, don’t get me wrong, I am beyond grateful. But isn’t that exactly the kind of story that the spectator wants, right, bud? So how upset you were Chloe just didn’t seem right. So what? You did it out of the kindness of your heart. I, I say, uh, just didn’t want to give Kristen any armor after what she did to Sarah, and that little twb Leo could use a reminder that I’m in charge.

So mostly I did it to be petting.

Well, whatever your motive was. Thank you. Truly, things have been so complicated for me and Brady. I’m not sure that if Leo would’ve printed that story, if we would’ve survived it.

Hey, Alex. Oh, hey, you. Sorry I, I wasn’t expecting you. No, it’s okay. I just wanted to come by and just clear some things up. About what? Just everything between us. I see it as a fun, no strings attached kind of thing. I’m not exactly looking for a relationship.

Me neither. I am very, very happy with meaningless sex. Great. Mm-hmm. Okay, then well, um, I guess I’ll take off. I’m, I’m sorry to bother you. Hang on. I mean, you, you’ve come all the way over here, haven’t you? Is that it? I mean, are you sure you don’t want to engage in more of that meaningless sex

right now?

Hey, how was your run? It’s good. How was, uh, how was the movie? Oh, great. Awesome. Great, awesome. I’m gonna go hop in the shower.

I feel like I almost got compliment merits. Hey. How long do you think he’s gonna be in the shower? Not long enough. I think we should probably get back to the movie. Right. Okay. Uh, great. Um, more unrequited love.

So you wanted to see me? Yes. I um, was talking with Alex this morning and he called me. The two of you are having some issues, so he sent you two smooth things over. No, he doesn’t know I’m here. This is a solo mission. I just want you to know that Alex knows that he messed up and that he really wants this arrangement to work.

I wanted to work too. Justin. I just don’t know for sure whether Alex is ever gonna accept the fact that I’m in charge. I think if you just give him a chance, he will eventually find a way to prove himself to you.

Working from home. Hmm. Definitely has its benefits. Mm-hmm. Hell of a lot better than a coffee break. You’re not going back to the office. No. Auntie Maggie still doesn’t want me there. Not until this eye heels up.

I’m so sorry about that. It’s not your fault. Besides, I already told you Auntie Maggie, I’m already on her bad side, so going evicted the way I did, just made it a hell of a lot worse since she’s running Titan. I just have to find a way to get more good graces

Tamira, it’s time for your shift in the laundry room. All right. Hey. Oh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see you, sweetheart. Look at me. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna come here again by. Fine, whatever. Damira. I’m coming. Okay, sweetheart, I love you.

Come here.

I’m gonna double down on what your mama has said. You, you scared me today. Okay? I, I, I don’t ever want you to pull a stunt like this again. Okay. Sorry, daddy. All right. Now look, I’m gonna take you back to school and afterwards I’m gonna spend a little time with Chloe. Okay? Daddy, honey. You heard what mommy said.

She’s fine with daddy and Chloe being together, and she also wants you to give her a chance. So I want you to promise me and you’ll try fine, I promise. Thank you. Let’s get outta here.

So have I made up for the whole, leaving you in the clutches of a psychotic drug, Lord thing? Uh, no. But I am sincerely grateful for what you did. Thank you.

Danny: Hey, phyllis. Phyllis, hey, hey. Hey, let’s step outside and get some fresh air, huh? Cool yourself down. What do you say?

Phyllis: You know me. Right? You know me?

Danny: Of course, yeah.

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, you know that I have changed, right? You know I have changed, right?

Danny: I know.

Phyllis: And I have done horrible things, horrible things in my past, but I’ve changed, and you know that, right?

Danny: Yeah.

Phyllis: I’ve hurt a lot of people in this room, but you know I’d sacrifice anything for my children. You know. And I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this, but I have to. I have to. I have no choice. Because of you. Because of you. That’s why I am doing this. Because of you. Because she’ll try to take me down. Oh, I’m — I’m fine.

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: I’m okay.

[ Breathes heavily ] I’m fine.

Summer: You’re not fine.

Diane: You’re obviously drunk, so why don’t you just go home and sleep it off? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Amanda: I have nothing more to say to you.

Devon: Well, you had an awful lot to say earlier, and then you just left, and we didn’t get a chance to actually talk.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Abby: I know that you have zero reason to listen to me.

Amanda: That’s right.

Abby: But maybe if you could just listen to devon, maybe it would bring you both some —

Amanda: Some closure? No, I got all the closure that I needed when I found you two together.

Abby: I was going to say healing for both of you.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Amanda, it would mean a lot.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Fine. You have three minutes.

Devon: Thank you.

Abby: Okay, I’m going to give you some privacy.

Devon: Sure. Kiss dominic for me.

Abby: Yeah.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: Why don’t we go inside and we can sit at the bar and I’ll order you a chardonnay if you’d like.

Amanda: Remembering my favorite drink doesn’t score you any points.

Abby: I’m so sorry.

Amanda: Help the lady find her shirt, devon. Did you rip it off and throw it over there by the stairs? Or did she peel it off teasingly?

Devon: Please don’t do that.

Abby: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I am so sorry for the pain that I caused you. Look, I understand that a betrayal is a betrayal and it doesn’t matter that it wasn’t intentional and we never meant for this to happen. It was just — it came out of emotion, and I — we don’t even know where it came from.

Amanda: Okay, you can stop. I don’t need to hear this. I really don’t care.

Abby: I doubt that.

Amanda: Well, it’s true. But you’re right. “Not caring” — it didn’t happen overnight. It took time. I replayed that day over and over, you scrambling to find your shirt, devon stammering to explain. I was hurt, I was angry, but i could not — i did not let it dictate my life. I have too much to focus on. My job, my family. My mom needs my love and support back home. So, I have so much going on that I don’t have time to worry about you and devon ever again.

Ashley: This is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Jack’s idiocy was on full display. This announcement that he’s engaged to diane. Ugh! Do you know — you know what he did? He knew that I wouldn’t make a scene in front of half of genoa city. But you know what else is making me crazy?

Tucker: No, but I have a feeling —

Ashley: Traci. Traci. I watched her face when jack was making that announcement, and she knew. She knew, tucker, and she didn’t tell me. Am I the only one in my family that hasn’t lost their mind? Am I the only one that sees diane for who she really is? She has played jack perfectly. You realize that, right? Because she’s gotten everything she wanted.

[ Sighs ]

Danny: Hey, come on. Why don’t —

Phyllis: I’m good. I’m good. I am not dru– hey, trust me. I am not drunk.

Jack: You’ve made your scene, phyllis. Go home.

Phyllis: Okay, I just have this to say. One more thing. Diane, I tried to apologize to you.

Diane: That’s a lie.

Phyllis: No, I tried to apologize to you, and you know it. I brought you into a room to apologize and clean the slate, and you attacked me. She attacked me. She attacked me, by the by. Yeah, that happened. [ Sighs ] But it doesn’t matter, mrs. Soon-to-be jack abbott, right? You’ve just taken my entire life, that’s all.

Jack: You blew up your own life, phyllis. Blame the choices you made, not diane.

Phyllis: I really just cannot believe you’re still protecting her. You are so blind, jack. You are —

Summer: Mom, please, just stop.

Phyllis: Baby girl, I’m fine. Seriously.

Daniel: It’s okay. Why don’t we just get out of here, you and me?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Come on.

Phyllis: Just give me one second, okay? I’m really getting to the good part, okay? Give me one second. Alright, baby? Seriously. I’d like to toast the happy couple. Anybody have a drink for me?

Jack: Phyllis, phyllis, no more. We’ve had enough of your hatred.

Phyllis: No, it’s about love. Honestly, it’s just about love, that’s all. I want to toast your happiness together. See, I’m just trying to protect you and my entire family right now.

Jack: Yes, with lies and viciousness, yes.

Phyllis: Right, right, lies and viciousness. Sure. I don’t understand this still. I don’t understand. This woman abandoned your son and made him believe that she was dead. That’s what she did.

[ Voice breaking ] I would sacrifice everything for my children. Everything. I would lay down my life for my children. But I’m the bad guy? And she still gets a free pass, and everybody just accepts her. She will hurt you. She will. And she will hurt everybody else in this room. But you know, don’t you? You… you know that I see you. You know. Right from the start, there was nothing… different about you. I know… I know you’re capable.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa.

Summer: Mom.

Daniel: Got her. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Nate: I could dance with you all night long.

Elena: Oh, careful. I might hold you to that.

Nate: Mm. Don’t look now, but this is definitely a night for surprises.

Devon: Thank you.

Elena: Hm. Devon and amanda.

Nate: Actually talking. Yet another sign devon is trying to make peace.

Amanda: Thank you for the drink, but we really don’t need to do this. I don’t want to see you grovel.

Devon: I take it you haven’t talked to lily?

Amanda: No. Why?

Devon: Because I dropped the lawsuit.

Amanda: What?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: So is that why jill waltzed into the arbitration and demanded a recess?

Devon: Yes.

Amanda: Huh.

Devon: She changed her mind about the ipo.

Amanda: And you just dropped your lawsuit? Just like that? You were so angry, it was so personal, and, poof, just like that, it’s all over?

Devon: Did you hear that tonight they renamed the lounge the neil winters jazz lounge?

Amanda: That’s very nice. I’m sure that you and lily were very moved.

Devon: Yeah, we were. And it was very nice. The whole thing put everything into perspective for me, and it made me focus on what neil would actually want if he was here, and it certainly isn’t his kids going at each other. And lily felt the same way.

Amanda: Oh, so you and lily are —

Devon: We’re fine, yeah. We talked, and we forgave each other. And I wish it didn’t take me as long as it did to get to a place where I could forgive her and ask for forgiveness myself.

Amanda: Well, I’m glad. I am. No, really. I’m happy for you and lily.

Devon: Thank you.

Amanda: So I guess you’re going back to chancellor-winters?

Devon: I don’t know about that yet. I’m just happy to have my sister back.

Amanda: Well, good for you.

Devon: I feel like this whole last year has been a journey of me making regrettable decisions and hurting people that I care about, and I know I can’t fix that, but I’m trying to move forward. I’m trying to learn and be a better man because of it.

Amanda: Well, I am really glad that ripping my heart out was just — it was just a part of your journey to finding yourself.

Devon: I never intended to do that to you, amanda. Listen, I haven’t forgiven myself for what I did to you, and I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just want you to know how profoundly sorry I am for what I did.

Amanda: I’ll heal, devon. Don’t worry.

Daniel: Easy, easy. Someone give me something for her head.

Kyle: Yeah, got it.

Summer: God, I knew that there was something wrong with her.

Diane: What is she up to now?

Gina: Oh, for god’s sake. She’s faking it. It’s just phyllis going big.

Christine: I’m not so sure.

Victor: Something is way off. I’m going to call some people. Okay? Keep me informed.

Nikki: Alright.

Summer: Mom, can you wake up? Can you hear me?

Daniel: Can I get an ambulance to the gcac, please?

Sharon: We need to keep her airway clear.

Kyle: Hey, phyllis, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes?

Summer: We need a doctor. Is there a doctor here? Mom, please wake up.

Daniel: Hey, mom. Mom.

Kyle: Phyllis — hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Summer: Oh, my god.

Daniel: Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

Lily: Well, this is a surprise. You two are being civil.

Amanda: Yeah, devon told me that he dropped his lawsuit and that the two of you have resolved your issues, right?

Lily: Yes, we have. Very grateful to have my brother back. So was the lawsuit the only thing that you two were discussing?

Amanda: No. Devon was telling me all about his journey to finding himself. But, you know, I think what he said made a lot of sense. The only way to move on is to get past the anger and the hurt. So to moving on.

Devon: Yeah. The good news for you is, now that the lawsuits off the table, you can go back home to your mom and family.

Amanda: Yeah. Well, I actually feel like I have family here, too.

Victoria: Oh, there you are. Nate, we need a doctor.

Nate: What is it?

Victoria: There’s an emergency. You have to come.

Elena: Why? What happened?

Victoria: Phyllis collapsed.

Devon: Collapsed?

Summer: She’s tried so many times to make things right between us, and I’ve just — I’ve shut her down every time. How could I do that to her?

Daniel: Hey, mom knows you love her.

Summer: Does she?

Victoria: Excuse me.

Amanda: Oh, my god.

Elena: What happened?

Nikki: She was having a tantrum, and she just passed out.

Daniel: She started talking, she started stumbling around, and then she collapsed.

Nate: Has she been drinking?

Summer: No, I don’t think so.

Nate: I don’t smell any alcohol.

Daniel: The emts are on their way. They should be here any minute.

Elena: They need to hurry. I can barely feel her pulse.

Sally: I am so excited for this burger. Although, I have to admit, I do feel a little guilty eating a burger beat cheeseburger at crimson lights, but it is absolutely not going to stop me.

Nick: Don’t worry about that. I got a pretty solid in with the owner of this joint.

Sally: Ooh, yes. Extra hot sauce.

Nick: You put hot sauce on your french fries?

Sally: Uh, yeah. If there’s something that you should know about me, it’s that I love my hot sauce.

Nick: So weird. Alright, well, let me try one.

Sally: No, unh-unh. You had a chance to get your own. You said you didn’t want any.

Nick: Well, how about little credit, then, for getting you out of the gala before things went south?

Sally: Fine. Maybe one.

Nick: Just one.

Ashley: Mamie had a wonderful time. Isn’t that nice? She’s very tired, though.

Tucker: You seem a little tired yourself.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: Try that. Cheers.

Ashley: Yeah, cheers. It’s not going to help, but thanks. You’ve been quiet all night long.

Tucker: When did I get an opportunity to speak at that place? It’s just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah from everyone. So how about jack and diane, huh? They sure seem happy.

Ashley: It’s faux happiness because it’s based on a lie.

Tucker: Diane was just radiant.

Ashley: She wasn’t radiant, tucker. She was smug because she thinks she won.

Tucker: Or maybe the two of them have found true love.

Ashley: I liked you a lot better when you weren’t talking, actually.

Tucker: No, but, seriously, she seems to have changed. Really.

Ashley: Are you trying — listen.

Tucker: No, but if so, who are we to doubt her, to judge?

Ashley: Do you want to annoy me right now? Because you know better than anybody what she’s capable of, so —

Tucker: Yeah, and I know what love is capable of.

Ashley: Oh, I know, because of the time you spent in the ashram —

Tucker: No, because of you. And because I’m selfish.

Ashley: Well, that part I completely agree with you.

Tucker: I saw the way they looked at each other when jack was giving that speech. It was there. It was there — forgiveness. And I selfishly want to believe that forgiveness is possible because that’s what I want from you. And I figure if jack and diane can find a second chance, then maybe we can, too.

Nate: Breaths are shallow.

Elena: Pulse is thready.

Nate: Pupils are reactive.

Audra: Nate’s a man of many talents.

Victoria: Thank god.

Elena: Does your mother have any allergies?

Daniel: No.

Nate: Is she on any medications?

Summer: Not that I know of.

Elena: Did anything specific happen to prompt this? Did anything unusual happen tonight before she collapsed?

Kyle: She was upset about my dad’s engagement announcement. She went off on them, just ranting, and then passed out.

Summer: Can you tell what’s wrong with her?

Daniel: Why isn’t she waking up?

Elena: Unfortunately, her loss of consciousness can be a sign of a number of things. I’m sorry we don’t have any better answers for you yet.

Nate: The only thing we know is that we need to get your mother to the hospital, stat. Her vitals are deteriorating.

Elena: Here they are.

Danny: This doesn’t make any sense. I mean, phyllis is so strong and healthy, right?

Lauren: Well, you know, she was in a coma a few years ago. That couldn’t have lasting effects, could it?

Nikki: Whatever this is, let’s pray she pulls out of it.

Michael: If anyone’s a fighter, phyllis is. (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: I hope you’re not just going to stand there lurking.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] I’m not lurking.

Sally: You’re totally lurking.

Adam: Okay, look, I — i just have to know. Are — are you and the baby okay?

Sally: We’re fine.

Nick: That’s why you’re here?

Adam: At the gala, I saw you put your hand on your stomach and then leave pretty quickly, so I was worried that something was wrong, but now I know. Cheeseburgers. You were just hungry.

Sally: Okay, well, if you followed us here, then you saw us go through the drive-through, so you didn’t put it together then?

Adam: Well, I thought you might have just been faint, maybe some low blood sugar, and if that’s all it was, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.

Nick: That’s why you followed us?

Adam: And now you make me sound like a stalker. But I would rather chalk it up to being an overprotective father-to-be.

Sally: Well, I guess i appreciate the honesty.

Nick: Yeah, honesty’s good.

Adam: Well… I’m genuinely relieved everything is okay with you and the baby. Pretend I was never here.

Sally: Or you could join us.

Adam: Are you sure?

Sally: No. Mnh-mnh. No, but I just want to find a way for things to be normal, and this is our new normal. And to make it all about me, I really don’t have the greatest tolerance for stress right now. It gives me heartburn. Like, for real. So I would just really like to, you know, figure this out in a way that doesn’t include stalking or family feuds.

Summer: Has there been any changes?

Nate: I’m sorry, there hasn’t, but your mom’s stable for now, okay?

Elena: We’ll know more after we run some tests.

Daniel: Okay, I’m going to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Do you want to ride with me?

Summer: Yeah, I — I should do that, right, instead of, um, driving myself?

Daniel: Yeah.

Kyle: Hey, go to the hospital with your brother, sweetheart. I’ll check in with harrison and the nanny and meet you there.

Summer: Okay. Thanks.

Kyle: She’s going to be okay.

Lily: Hey, I’m really sorry.

Daniel: I mean, I was such a jerk to her. You know, she came up, she tells me how much she loves me and how proud she is of me, and I just blow her off? And now — now look at this.

Lily: No, no, don’t do that, okay? You will get a chance to tell her how much you love her. She’s way too fierce to let this get her down, okay? She’ll be fine.

Danny: Lily’s right. Your mother is way tougher than whatever this is.

Lily: Hey, it’s okay. Come here.

Traci: Sweetie, we are here for you — whatever you need, okay? I’ll be praying for your mom. Come on, sweetie. Okay.

Leanna: Any idea what led to this circus? That spectacular collapse?

Victoria: Leanna.

Leanna: Yeah?

Victoria: Go to hell.

Diane: [ Sighs ] How is this happening? Oh, my god.

Jack: What?

Diane: Phyllis has my ring. How did she get it?

[ Laughter ]

Jack: Ooh, yeah.

Lauren: [ Laughing ] Oh, honey!

Jack: Of course. It was stark who bumped into me. He’s the one who picked my pocket.

Diane: Why? Do you think he left?

Jack: And miss the show? Not a chance. But to what end? I don’t know.

Diane: You know what? This isn’t making sense. Why would he take my ring and give it to phyllis?

Jack: Anything can happen with those two.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: There he is.

Jeremy: Nikki, how beautiful you look tonight.

Nikki: What are you doing here? You were distinctly not invited.

Jeremy: Call me a plus-one. My god. Phyllis. What the hell happened here? And now please welcome ana montoya.

Nick: Yeah, I agree. We need to make this situation work. Boundaries, et cetera. I thought we were doing a pretty good job until a certain someone started tailing us through the burger beat parking lot.

[ Alert sounds ]

Sally: What is it?

Nick: I don’t know. Summer needs me. I got to go. Um… you good?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I’m — I’m fine. Go take care of your family.

Nick: You’ll make sure she gets home okay?

Adam: Um, of course.

Nick: Thanks.

[ Smooches ]

Adam: Did you have fun at the big event?

Sally: Yeah, till things got weird. You?

Adam: Uh, it was alright.

Sally: And sharon was alright with you taking off to stalk us?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] She understood. Did you want to head out?

Sally: I have waited way too long for this burger, and I’m not going to wait another second, so if you have someplace to be, I can get myself home.

Adam: I don’t have anyplace to be. So I will stay.

Sally: Okay, but don’t expect any fries.

Ashley: Second chance? I don’t even like you sometimes.

Tucker: You like me sometimes. Sometimes you more than like me. So there’s hope.

Ashley: Honestly, I preferred you when you weren’t talking. Could you go back to that?

Tucker: It’s too late.

[ Taps ] I want a second chance with you, ashley. Alright maybe a — by now, a 22nd chance. But, look, if diane and jack can do it, we can do it.

Ashley: Completely different situation.

Tucker: No, not at all. Look what diane did when she came — granted, she didn’t land a helicopter on your back lawn…

Ashley: Thank god.

Tucker: But when she came back, she owned up to her sins, she apologized for any pain she’s caused anyone, and, in her own way, she has tried to redeem herself, as have I. So same.

Ashley: It’s not the same.

Tucker: Yes, it is.

Ashley: It’s not the same. It’s completely different because jack is so befuddled by what he thinks is love that he doesn’t see diane for who she is. See, I see you. I know exactly who you are.

Tucker: And you love me.

Ashley: Listen.

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Just stop it. I need to focus on jack and making sure he doesn’t make the worst mistake of his life, because I’ll be damned if diane jenkins ever becomes a member of the abbott family.

Jeremy: How is she?

Nate: Phyllis is stable, but that’s about all I can tell you.

Jeremy: Well, she was perfectly fine. How did this happen?

Diane: Oh, come on. What is he doing?

Jack: Something tells me we’re going to find out, and it’s not going to be good.

Nate: We don’t have any answers at the moment, but we should know more after we run some tests.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] That’s great. Nobody knows anything. Well, come on, guys. Let’s — let’s get her to the hospital. Hey. Listen. You’re going to be okay. You hear me, my love? I want to be with you every step of the way.

Emt carson: Hey, I’m sorry, sir. You can’t ride with us. But you can meet us there.

Daniel: What the hell is that — “my love”?

Summer: I don’t know what he’s doing, but he needs to get away from her.

Kyle: Yeah, it makes no sense.

Leanna: Who’s the handsome new face in town?

Victoria: You don’t want to know.

Leanna: Oh, but I do.

Jeremy: Hey. You’re going to be just fine, okay? I’ll see you soon, my love.

Emt carson: Let’s go.

Kyle: Okay, you just keep me posted.

Summer: I will.

Lily: Hey, call me when you know something, okay?

Daniel: Yeah.

Lily: Alright.

Jeremy: Hm. You people. You happy?

Kyle: Hey, where do you get off crashing this party, pretending you care about phyllis? You know damn well you’re not wanted here.

Jack: What the hell are you up to, stark? What are you doing here?

Jeremy: I get answers first. How did phyllis end up in an ambulance?

Jack: I don’t see where that’s any of your business.

Jeremy: Oh, it is my business. So somebody better start talking.

Kyle: Hey, get out of here. And stay away from the hospital. Summer is worried sick about her mother. She doesn’t need you there.

Jeremy: Nothing is going to stop me from going to the hospital.

Kyle: Mm-hmm?

Jeremy: Once I get my answers, I will be right by my wife’s side.

Traci: [ Gasps ] What? My a1c stayed here, it needed to be here.

Ashley: You know, I’ve been telling jack since diane first came back to town that she is still a threat, she hasn’t changed, and she keeps on lying. Somehow she manages to take those lies and she turns him around and she uses them to her advantage. And not just that. Every time I have an argument with jack about it, it just pushes him closer to her, you know, ’cause he can’t help but play the hero to this walking nightmare.

Tucker: Mm. You really got your work cut out for you. I have a thought, though.

Ashley: Please tell me. I’m desperate.

Tucker: Well, it’s not going to stop their marriage, but —

Ashley: Well, then, what’s the point?

Tucker: Well, hear me out. So, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction —

Ashley: Oh, my god. Excuse me?

Tucker: You love it when i talk science.

Ashley: I don’t love it when you talk — you have no idea what you’re talking about, tucker.

Tucker: Alright, now, so let’s talk the facts, then. So you hate diane. You think she’s a threat to jack?

Ashley: Well, at the very least, she’s going to break his heart — the very least.

Tucker: She’s a threat to the abbott clan.

Ashley: She’s going to blow our family apart, yeah.

Tucker: Right. Kind of like how jack feels about me.

Ashley: Times 10. Is there a point to your story?

Tucker: Yes, so you have told jack about your concerns, about the facts, your truths over and over and over again, ad nauseam, right?

Ashley: Right, he refuses to listen to me, so —

Tucker: Right, then stop talking and do something. You know? Act. Shake him up. Kind of punch him between the eyes.

Ashley: Okay, and what do you have in mind?

Tucker: Marry me.

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] That was the greatest burger of all time.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: You still like hot sauce with your fries?

Sally: Ooh, the hotter, the better.

Adam: You, um… you… you got A…

Sally: Here? Oh, here?

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Oh.

Adam: Sorry.

Sally: No. Is it good?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] So, um… this…

Adam: What?

Sally: The awkwardness. We really need to work on it. We’re going to be in each other’s lives for…ever now, so I’m going to say it again. We really need to figure this out. Okay?

Jack: Your wife? What the hell are you talking about?

Diane: You expect us to believe that phyllis is mrs. Stark?

Jeremy: Mrs. Stark was just wheeled out of here tonight on a gurney.

Jack: You and phyllis? That is absurd.

Jeremy: We got married three days ago.

Kyle: There’s no way phyllis would marry you.

Jeremy: Oh, and you know that because you’ve been so close lately.

Amanda: Phyllis is married, and she never said a word?

Danny: Who the hell are you?

Jeremy: The only person in this room that gives a damn about phyllis.

Lauren: So you just want us to accept that phyllis just suddenly got married? To you?

Jeremy: My wife and I were going to announce our marriage here tonight, but, unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.

Jack: Okay, what kind of game are you playing?

Jeremy: No game, jack. I’m just a happily married man.

Traci: Okay, so phyllis makes this giant change in her life, and she doesn’t tell her family or any of her friends?

Jeremy: What family?

[ Chuckles ] What friends? You all shut her out. You all made it very clear that you didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

Nikki: So you swooped in and took advantage of her?

Jeremy: Hardly. I was in a bad place, too. Was alone. I just got out of prison. I understood what phyllis felt.

Leanna: Prison? Huh.

Jack: Okay, this is ridiculous. You and phyllis? There was no wedding.

Jeremy: I don’t care what you believe, jack. Phyllis and I connected, so we decided to make it official.

Michael: So phyllis married you, someone she barely knew?

Jeremy: Yeah, she was afraid, vulnerable, she wanted protection, and I wanted to be that for her.

Jack: Protection from what?

Jeremy: From her.

Jack: From diane?

Jeremy: Phyllis was very afraid, and she had reason to be. So we’re all here, diane. Tell us, what did you do to phyllis?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

security sweep is complete. We’re all clear, boss. – Thank you. I need competent people around me during these times. – Hopefully we’ll find who’s targeting you soon. – Oh, I’m going to find them. No one’s going to interfere with the pikeman deal. – Think she’ll deliver? – [Sighs] – Haven’t you told your people? I always bring the goods.

[Dramatic music] – [Breathing heavily] – Ok, cool. Let’s go again. – [Sighs] We’ve done this, like, five times already. We got this. – Practice can’t hurt. – Ugh. Unless I pass out from dehydration. – [Scoffs] Ok. Five minutes. – Thank you. – Don’t call me back until it’s done. What– what are you two doing in here? – We’re, uh, practicing our performance. – The show is tonight, and you two still need to practice? Oh. Ok, this nurses’ ball is going to hell in a handbasket. – You guys have been such a big help. – We’ll finish, aunt elizabeth.

[Doorbell rings] We’ll make it gucci. – [Laughs] That means– – no, I know what that means. – Ok. – Hi. Come in. – Hey. Sorry I’m late. There was kind of a lot of traffic, and I– – no, no, no. You’re right on time. – Oh, good. Oh, how are you doing, sweetheart? – Cam’s coming. – Ok. Come here. – Hey, did I just hear the doorbell?

[Together] Surprise! – Oh, my goodness. Hey! Oh, thank you. What’s going on? I thought we were just having breakfast, the four of us. – You didn’t think we’d let you leave for california without a proper sendoff from your family, did you? – Wow. I feel like the luckiest guy right now.

[Laughter] – I called ahead and said that I’d be coming in with my son. – I’ll need his name and date of birth to check you in. Who’s his pediatrician? – Um, we don’t have a regular one yet. I gave birth outside the hospital. Is dr. Portia robinson around? – Uh, dr. Robinson is not available. But um, just fill these out while we get you set up. – Please, my son is sick. He needs to be seen right away. – Thank you. Hounding the nurse is not going to do ace any favors. – I don’t care. Ace needs medical attention. And I will fight for him no matter what. – It’s not going to do any good to pick a fight with the wrong person, esme. The best way to get him treatment is to fill out these forms. – What– what are you even doing here? I didn’t want you here. So if you’re not on my side, you can leave now. – This isn’t about you or sides, esme. This is about ace. And I’m not leaving you alone with my baby brother.

[Tense music]

[Gun clicks] – Something I should know? – What? Oh, I’m just making sure I’m prepped. This situation is deteriorating. – You know, something happened to make eileen bolt. Now victor’s after her. He’ll more than likely find her. – She can’t outrun victor. She knows too much– enough to bring this whole thing crashing down.

[Knock at door]

[Dramatic music]


– Did you guys know there’s a 10% chance of rain tonight? Water stains silk. Rain deflates hair. And what if the ground gets slippery? One slip or fall could end up all over social media. Five or six are a catastrophe. – 10% is not much. – And the llama has the nerve to be running late. Now you two are telling me that you’re also not ready? – Maxie. Maxie, me and trina are doing just fine, ok? We were just doing some run-throughs and adding on some finishing touches. – Yeah, we’re beyond ready. – Ok. Ok, that’s great. Um, but you’ll need to leave when the wands get here. It’s a closed set. – Got it. – We’re out. – No! I said silk bow ties! – [Laughs] – And I thought you were intense. – Yeah. After that, I promise to relax. – So a six-minute break? – Ok, fine. The nurses’ ball is about having fun after all. – And that’s my plan. I’m all about fun tonight. – Mm. With spencer? – You wouldn’t happen to remember ace’s weight when he was born, would you? – Yes. And I remember his length and his apgar score from when they checked him out when we first got to the hospital.

[Sighs] Ace is sick, and if filling out this stupid form will get him seen, that’s all I care about. Oh. Hey, if you want to make yourself useful, why don’t you fill out this part where they, uh, ask about payment. I don’t think we have insurance.

[Baby whimpering] It’s ok, sweetie. – Grandmother doesn’t seem to think that it’s anything serious. – Mommy knows that something’s not right. – How long do you think that you’re going to be able to keep up this angelic mother act, esme? – Would you get over yourself? I am sick of trying to prove to you that I am not the person I used to be. I need to be a good mother to ace. He is what matters, not you. – Well, it seems that you’ve lost your memory but not your personality, esme. You’re not going to be able to hide behind ace forever. – I can’t believe that you guys went all out for this. Thank you. Aiden, are those banana chocolate chip muffins? – My best batch yet. – Wow. – I know how much you like them. – I made the toast. – Fantastic! I love toast. – That’s all that daddy would let me make. – Well, you can move on to things that involve a flame when you’re a little older. – I can teach her some easy dishes now. – Yeah? – I’d love that. – You’d better take him up on it, because I’ve had your dad’s spaghetti. – Hey. – This is so very cool of everyone. I don’t even know what to say. – Uh, how about let’s eat? – Oh, ok. I see where jake’s priorities are. You just keep him well-fed, you know. He’ll forget that I’m even gone. – I think jake’s right, and we should eat all this delicious food while it’s still warm. – I’ll get the orange juice.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Sighs] – Hey. Anything you need? – I don’t want to bring down the mood. Been an intense few days. – I get it. I’m here, whatever you need. – Just t he strength to saygoodbye to my firstborn.

[Tense music]

– How are you holding up? – Uh, I’m ok. I’m hanging in there. A lot has come to light, hasn’t it? – Yeah. How do you feel about all of it? – You know, I wasn’t entirely surprised that esme turned out to be ryan and heather’s daughter. You know, the girl is just as twisted as they are. But finding out that ryan was colluding with her to destroy my life, that– that shook me up a bit. – Fortunately, we don’t ever have to deal with ryan again. – Ah, thanks to your husband. That esme, though– she has yet to pay. – Felicia sent me. – Why? Where is she? – Maxie needed her help, so she told me how to get here. I was not followed. I took every precaution. – What’s happened? – Victor disappeared.

– Were you able to learn anything about the contractor who tried to kill me? – As I suspected, no one in my organization frequents the highsider, nor did anybody recognize the gunman. However, I sent li to make inquiries with the staff at the highsider. He had a very interesting conversation with the bartender. – Did you get an id on the shooter or not, selina?


– I feel like there’s no need to compare them, you know? They’re both so different. – Yeah, I– – …almost iconic. – It is iconic. I’ll grant you that, I’ll grant you that. – I knew this was going to be hard, but it just got real all of a sudden. – I wish there was something i could say that would magically make you feel better. But this is hard sending your kids out into the world. And cam’s your first, and that is a very particular kind of pain. – I’m so happy for him and proud. But I already feel like a part of me is missing, and he’s not even gone yet. – Yeah, I know, but that’s the sad part. But remember, there’s– there’s wonderment and joy in watching your– your children forge their own paths, become adults, live full lives. It’s all a blessing, trust me. And you will always be his mother. – You got a little something on your shirt there. Oh, oh! I had to get you one last time before I left. – Yeah. You didn’t get me. – Good job, sweetie. You gained two pounds and grew almost an inch. That’s good, right? – Right on target. The doctor will be in shortly. – Thank you. – Mm-hmm. – Nurse seems to think that he’s ok. Better than ok. – Yeah. Um, look, spencer. I know, um, we both have our reasons for not trusting each other, but it’s all in the past. – Is it? – Can it be? I mean, ace is my present and my future, and whether I like it or not, you’re his brother. We need to get along for his sake. – Everything that you’ve done to me, to my friends– it’s not exactly something that I can easily forgive, esme. – Well, can you try? I mean, I’d hate to see you miss out on knowing ace because of it. – Is that a threat? – What? No. It’s just not good for ace if we’re fighting all of the time. And the longer you keep seeing me as my old self, the more damage it’s going to do to him. – I guess I don’t see it like that. – Sorry to keep you waiting. I know you. – I know you too. You’re the man that my mother tried to kill the night my son was born. – Spencer and I will see each other at the ball, but we’re not going together. – What’s going on with you guys? I mean, last time I heard, you kissed. Did something happen? – No, no. I mean, we’re fine. We’re definitely more than friends. It’s just complicated. – Yeah. Well, that’s spencer. It’s complicated. – No, it’s not just him, ok?

[Scoffs] I feel like we’re some kind of cosmic joke. Just when I thought, oh, finally, like, we’re going to finally– both of our lives blew up. The night we kissed, I’d just found out that my mother lied to me about my father. Then ryan chamberlain and heather webber showed up on spoon island, nearly killing ava. Then esme had her baby. Now esme and her baby are living with spencer in his grandmother’s apartment. – Because of the baby. – And I totally understand that spencer wants to be close to his baby brother. But it’s just– it just feels weird that he and esme and the baby are living together, like some pseudo family.

[Sighs] I really want to be with spencer. But now it just feels like I should take it slow. – Slow sounds like the right idea. – It doesn’t feel that way.

[Sighs] But what about you? – Me? – I mean, it’s been months since you broke up with cam, and now he’s leaving for california. Are you ready to get back out there? – The bartender recognized the gunman. – Did you get a name? – Unfortunately, no. The bartender said the gunman came in only once and paid in cash. But he recalled that the man was staying at a nearby hotel, so I sent my men to search the establishment. The shooter’s belongings were relegated to storage when he didn’t return. We were able to acquire them. – I appreciate that. – I hope this restores your faith in me. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. – Looks like we found the guy. Now we have to find out who hired him. – When did victor disappear? – Within the last 24 hours. Look, ever since robert searched victor’s hotel room, we’ve had the metro court under surveillance. He has not returned. I even decided to search his room myself in case that somehow he slipped by us. – How did you go about doing that? – I asked olivia for access. – What, no. – You involved olivia in this? – Come on. – Time was my main concern, valentin, ok? And I knew olivia wasn’t going to ask any questions. It doesn’t matter anyway, because she said victor checked out. Although I can tell you he did not do it personally. – This can only mean one thing. – Victor’s onto us.


– Has it been months? It feels more like minutes. – Ah. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no. No fair. You do not get to grill me on my love life and give me nothing back. – Trina, I switched to pre-med, ok? I’ve been swamped with classes. I have no time for dating. – Are you sure it’s a time thing? Look, ok. Breakups are hard, but you can’t let it paralyze you. You got to put yourself back out there. Hey, you know nolan. – Water polo nolan? What about him? – Yeah, he’s in my renaissance art class. We’re pretty cool. Maybe I can set you two up or something. – Thanks, but no. – Joss, he’s one of the hottest guys on campus. You can’t even just, like, have coffee with him? – Trina, what would we even talk about? – You’re jocks. You can, I don’t know, swap stories of the thrill of victory or something. – Ok, ok. We need to get back to rehearsing– – joss, we know these steps cold. We do not need the practice. Are you not interested in nolan because you’re already seeing someone? – Scott is still stuck at court. – Oh, that’s too bad. I know he wanted to be here. – He did say that he was due a visit to the west coast soon, so… – and he means it, too. You are very important to him. – I feel very grateful having you and scott as my grandparents. – And I know that I speak for both of us when I say it’s been a privilege for us to watch you grow into the fine young man that you have become. – I owe a lot of it to you. – [Gasps] – It’s true. I mean, you– you have always supported me, even when things were great or terrible. – [Laughs] – Thank you, grandmother. – I love you so much. My heart is just bursting with pride right now. Really. I can’t wait to see what you do next. It’s going to be great. – I love you, grandmother. – I love you too, sweetheart. – Ava, are you planning on making esme pay? – Oh, no. No, no. Don’t worry about that. I will leave it to the authorities. Although I was not happy to hear that your brother-in-law is not going to prosecute her. – Well, timing is everything. – Mm-hmm. What about all those months that she terrorized me, that she made me fear for my daughter’s life? She destroyed my marriage. I’m not trying to excuse nikolas’s actions, but we were building a life together before she showed up. And to find out that she manipulated the entire situation– she’s just as rotten as her father, may he rot in hell. Now all I have left is that big old empty, drafty castle. – Well, you’re not completely alone. – You know, I have avery. But not all the time, you know? I share custody. – Well, what about austin? – What– what about him? – Well, he was there the night that ryan and heather made their appearance. And wasn’t he also there when dante and the police officers were searching for nikolas? – You told me that nikolas was dead. – He was. – Did you take a pulse? – No, I just took my chances. Of course I checked his pulse. – Ok, so–

[Clears throat] One time in medical school, they told me that a dead body doesn’t just up and walk away. – I was in shock, right? I mean, I’m sure I was in shock. But I can tell you one thing for certain. Nikolas’s heart was not beating. I’m sure of it. – Then, ava, where the hell is he? – Austin seems to be with you a lot. – You have to believe me; I didn’t even know that that woman was my mother. Please don’t hold her actions against my son. Ace is innocent. – Ace? That’s his name? Oh, that’s great. I love that. – [Scoffs] – You’re not mad? – No. Why would I be mad? I certainly wouldn’t be mad at you or at ace. So I’m dr. Gatlin-holt. – I– I’m esme prince. – Nice to meet you under better circumstances. Mr. Cassadine. – Spencer’s fine. We actually saw each other not long ago in passing. – Right, nice to see you. So what’s, uh– what’s going on with baby ace? – Um, I noticed that he’s been much fussier than usual, crying even when he’s not hungry and doesn’t need a changing. I kept track of the episodes, but I also noticed that he’s been flushing. I have some pictures if– if you need. – Wow. I wish all my first-time moms were this organized. – You want me to examine the contents? – No. Take it back to the office to, uh– we’ll look through it there. I’m going to have frank bring the car around. – Boss, there’s a body in the water. – What? – Victor suspects laura and robert are working together. I know that because she told me the other day he accused her of making a move against him. – Ok. Well, victor will already realize that the necklace is fake. He’ll assume that robert knew, gave it to eileen to hand off to him. – Would eileen give you up? – If victor pressured her? In a heartbeat. – I mean, god. She was just supposed to go in and deliver the necklace and then get out. But instead, she decided to take it on herself to make a play for the decryption key. And then something happened. Something spooked her enough for her to get out of town. – No, eileen ashby is definitely gone, but she did not leave on her own.

[Tense music]


– You’re seeing someone, aren’t you? Don’t lie. – I don’t want to lie to you.

[Sighs] Yes, I am. – Joss, that’s great. But, um, how long has this been going on? – Um, a few months. – Ooh. So not long after you broke up with cam. – No. – Is that why you didn’t tell me? You felt like I was going to judge you for it? – No. – Because I never– you told me last fall that you were starting to feel distance between you and cam, and things just weren’t working out. So I mean, that’s– that’s fair. – I just don’t want you in the middle. Cam is your friend too, and spencer definitely felt a way about me breaking up with him. – Ok, yeah. That’s– that’s on spencer, though. Of course I felt bad for cam. He was hurting, and I– I think he’s such a great guy. But things worked out. Cam is going to play soccer at stanford. He’s starting this major new phase in his life. And even if he wasn’t, you’re my girl, joss. You know I want the best for you. I want the best for both of you. – Thank you. – So who is it? Someone I know? – No, not really. – Do you have a picture? – Trina, I’m really sorry. I can’t tell you who it is right now. – Why not? – Because there could be really serious consequences if it became public knowledge. – Thanks for coming, and bringing violet. – Just try keeping her away. She loves her cousins. I’m really glad they can still be a part of each other’s lives. – It’s the connections you make that matter the most. That’s what epiphany used to say. – What you said about her at the memorial yesterday, it was really beautiful. – Yeah, I hope it’s what she would have wanted. And as devastated as I am, one burden has been lifted. – Hmm? – I found out that she did write a letter to the ethics committee and intended to deliver it herself. – I knew she stuck by you. – I was so afraid that I had disappointed her. It really weighed on me thinking that I’d let down my mentor, my friend. I’m just incredibly grateful that wasn’t the case. – Cam. We got you something. – Oh yeah? – Jake, now. – I did the drawing. Aiden and violet pasted on the cutouts. – So you can take us with you to california. Do you like it? – I’m not sure like is the word to use here. I love it. Come here. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. – What is it? Just– just tell me what’s wrong. – Uh, nothing’s wrong at all. Ace is a totally healthy baby. – Oh my god. – What we have here is what we call a classic case of colic. – I’ve read about that. But is ace in pain, or– – well, he’s got gas, so probably more uncomfortable than in pain. And he’s just crying because he doesn’t know how to tell you, because he can’t talk yet. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to send you home with a list of soothing techniques and some samples of some formula that might be easier on his stomach. – Thank you. – You’re welcome. We’re going to start him on a probiotic, you know, if the change in diet doesn’t help him immediately. – And the probiotic is safe for infants? – Oh yeah, absolutely. Ace is fine. Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it. You’re doing a great job, mom. I’ll be back. – Did you hear that, sweetie? You’re gonna be ok. – Yeah, we’re going to get you fixed up, buddy. – Austin and I have something significant in common. After all, nothing forges a bond like being victims of the same lunatic. – Mm-hmm, I know.

[Chuckles] I hope that both you and austin have some peace of mind now that heather’s been locked up. – I will have peace once esme is dealt with. I really have to run. It’s been a pleasure. – Will I see you at the nurses’ ball later? – Oh. Oh, I wouldn’t miss it. Something big always happens at the nurses’ ball. – Oh, yeah. – I went to eileen’s apartment after victor went missing. I wanted to question her since she may have been the last person to see him. There were– there were no signs whatsoever that she had made any preparations to run with or without victor. – Quick escapes don’t leave a lot of time to collect belongings. – Pet owners never leave their dog without making some provisions. – I didn’t know she had a dog. – She had a very hungry, very thirsty dog that was barking even before i walked up to the door. This dog had not been cared for in some time. I took him to the q’S. The dog’s doing fine. The point is, is, she loved him. He was well-groomed. He had beds and treats and the whole thing, toys. There’s no way that she would abandon him willingly. – No. She’s not cold-blooded. You’re right. Eileen left under duress. Something really bad happened after she hung up that phone.

[Radio chatter] – Imagine my surprise when I heard you were the one who reported this. – Can you imagine how surprised I was when I came across her? – Talk to me, sonny. How are you involved in this? – I was just– I was taking a walk. I saw someone in the water. And I went to check it out, and it was the deputy mayor. – So you were casually taking a stroll alone on the docks– – yeah. – –And a body just happened to wash up right by you? That is some timing. – Ok, I told you everything that happened. If you want to take it any further, I’m going to have to call diane, and then it’s going to be a waste of everybody’s time. I don’t think you want to do that. – I came as soon as I heard. Is it true? Is that eileen? – I’m sorry, mayor collins.

[Phone rings] Commissioner ashford. – Ohh. Oh, eileen.

[Gasping] Do you know what happened? – No. But my guess is victor cassadine. – The coroner’s en route to take the body. – I’ll have to prepare a statement for the press. I have to deal with this. If it’s victor, then anna, valentin, and lucy are all in danger. They have to be warned. – I’ll check it out. Take care, ok? – [Sobbing]


– You have to trust me. I promise I’ll tell you when I can. But right now, the stakes are just too high.

– What’s your problem? – My problem? Um, I don’t like him. – Are you five? – And I also don’t like the way that you defend him. – I’d defend anyone this way. You can’t just roll up and start yelling at sonny’s employees. – That’s interesting. Are you telling me that you would be this defensive, this upset over just another one of sonny’s goons? – It sounds so serious. – Look. One day, hopefully very soon, I won’t have to keep this from you. But until then, will you just please forget about it? – [Sighs] Ok. But only if you promise that if you’re ever in trouble you’ll come to me. – I promise. – Josslyn, trina. – I’m going to take off. – You’re going to leave us here? – Yeah, I have something to do. Uh, you still have to stay here, though, and wait for the doctor to get back. – You’re our ride. – Yeah, I’m not going to be long. – [Sighs] Whatever. I can’t count on anyone except for myself. – What’s that supposed to mean? – I can’t keep relying on you and laura. I need to handle things for myself. I’m going to look for a job. – Oh. Doing what? You’ve never worked a day in your life. – I’ll figure it out. I had an internship, right? – That you orchestrated so that you could spend some time scheming with your deranged father, that’s correct. – When I was a person I don’t even remember. I mean, I’m a mom now. I need to be able to provide for my son on my own. – The idea of you being a working single mother is ludicrous to me. I just offered to pay for ace’s medical bills. Face it, you have no idea what to do now that you are out of prison. – Which was all your doing. Cameron told me how you all orchestrated my release. I’m sure this is just part of your plan to take ace away from me, but it’s backfired. I will never give up my son. – Esme, I– – just go. – Good luck in california, cam. You’re a good man. – Thank you for being here, finn, and for everything you’ve done for this family. Can I ask you one last favor? – Name it. – My mom will need her friends when I’m gone. – You can count on me. – Some extra muffins for the road. – Thank you. – Bye. – Bye. – Tell the guys, too. – I will. I’ll see you, peanut. – You ok? You ready? Bye. – Bye. – Are they gone? – Yeah. She just said goodbye to you guys. – Oh. So uh, how often do you think you’ll be back to visit? I was thinking of turning your room into an art studio. – Oh, you just can’t wait for me to leave, huh? I’ll visit as much as I can. – Well, I’ll miss you. Even though I was sometimes a pain, you always stood up for me. – You’re a great big brother, cam. And just so you know, I’ll do my best to pick up where you left off. I’m going to be there for aiden and mom. – Guys, I– I’m going to be gone, but not for good. Look, I’m still your brother, all right? If you need anything, you just call me, ok? – I know. It just won’t be the same. – Come on, guys.

[Sighs] I love you guys so much. – Love you too. – Love you, cam. – Victor and eileen both disappear on the same night they meet. That’s not a coincidence. – All right. Well, best-case scenario is that she figured out a way to escape, and she got out of there and ran as fast as she could. – Or victor found out that eileen was compromised, which is more likely. – Then she would have told him everything she knows, in which case, victor will know we’re alive and lucy. – And that the real necklace still exists. – Mm-hmm. Um, puts everyone at risk– robert, laura, felicia. He’ll figure out that we were all working together to stop him. – Eileen never knew about me and carly. And did she know how to find this place? – No. No. That is at least something in our favor.

[Knock at door] – Anna, it’s me. It’s good to see you. – Hi. What are you doing here? – Uh, laura got caught up in an emergency. Eileen ashby’s dead.

[Tense music]


– Sorry to interrupt. I was told to come here for rehearsal. – Oh. Are you the new magic wand? – I am. Maxie talked me into it. – Oh. Go, maxie. – You guys are performing, right? – Yeah, we’ve been rehearsing all morning. – There you are. Wardrobe needs you for a final fitting. Come on. – [Laughs] What? – No one I know, huh? – It’s a great picture. Really captures the four of you. – Mom, I can’t leave. – Yes, you can. – Aiden and jake, they still need me. You still need me. – What I need is to know that you’re pursuing your dreams. – Are you sure? – Cameron, it’s been you and me since the very beginning. You’ve been my rock, and jake and aiden’s too. You’ve always stepped up for us, and now it’s time to step up for yourself. – It just– it feels so selfish just leaving. – My love, you have such a big heart, and you are so loving. And it has been the greatest gift of my life having you as my son. You’ve given so much of yourself to me and your brothers, and now it’s your turn. So go out there, live your best life, and we’ll be here cheering you on. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – I wonder how much longer it will take dr. Gatlin-holt to get back to us, huh? What do you say we take a quick trip to the vending machines? Yeah? Sound good?

[Laughs]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Bell dings]

[Dramatic music]

– What really happened here? – [Sighs] We won’t know until we get the me’s official report. – You know something. Did she drown? – The me will check for water in her lungs. – But? – The coroner said she had multiple broken bones, including her spine. He suspects eileen died from a fall. Do you have any reason to believe eileen would take her own life? – No. Eileen was all about survival. – Jordan gave laura the information. Laura wanted me to come here and warn you. – You have to assume you’re blown. – Victor got eileen to give up the info, then he disposed of her. – He’ll come after us now.

[Tense music]

– Thank you for meeting me. – Anything for you, my boy. Am I to understand from this that you are finally willing to do what needs to be done?

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Alex works from home at the Kiriakis Mansion. Justin walks in and questions why he’s not at the office. Alex informs him that Maggie banned him from the office, because she thinks his black eye would be a distraction to clients. Justin questions it being an image issue and not because he went behind Maggie’s back to Victor. Justin asks if Alex hasn’t been in the family long enough to know that was really stupid thing to do. Justin adds that it was also a really crappy thing to do.

At the Titan office, Maggie gives Xander some lemon bars to thank him for the profile on her that he ran for the Spectator. Maggie mentions that it impressed some of their investors. Xander says he just printed the truth. Maggie brings up Xander being responsible for Alex’s black eye. Xander confirms they had a bit of a disagreement. Maggie wants to know what it was about.

Gwen wakes Leo up in their room at the Salem Inn. Leo complains about finally being able to sleep in his own bed because of her. Gwen apologizes but Leo says if he was her, he’d be with Alex 24/7 too. Leo then asks why Gwen was solo last night.

Kristen sits in prison with Rachel’s drawing and talks about how much she misses her. The guard announces that Kristen has a visitor which turns out to be Rachel, surprising Kristen.

Chloe goes to the Brady Pub and sees Brady reading his tablet. Chloe begins to panic as she thinks back to Leo posting his gossip column about her calling Rachel a deranged monster like her mother. Chloe approaches Brady and asks if he’s reading the Spectator. Brady confirms he was just reading the latest gossip column and he can’t believe Leo would print this crap. Chloe apologizes as she asks Brady not to hate her and says she can explain.

Kristen hugs Rachel and says she can’t believe she’s there as she didn’t know it would be so soon. Kristen asks where Brady is but Rachel says he’s not there and reveals that he doesn’t know she is here.

Chloe tells Brady that she’s so sorry. Brady questions why since Leo is the one spreading rumors about Victor, saying that he’s going senile, so Chloe had nothing to do with this. Chloe asks if that’s all Leo wrote. Brady notes that there is something about Alex being in a fist fight and Stefan being spotted with Melinda. Chloe asks to see it so Brady shows her and asks if she was expecting something else. Chloe says no, so Brady questions why she told him not to hate her. Chloe explains that she ran in to Leo yesterday and he asked why they weren’t together and she didn’t give him any details, but then he said he was going to write about it. Brady guesses that Leo changed his mind.

Leo asks Gwen why Alex didn’t sleep over last night. Gwen says she was busy working and it’s not like they are a couple. Leo argues that they don’t want to lose momentum as he assumed Gwen was using Alex to make Xander jealous. Leo mentions hearing Alex and Xander fighting over her and ending with Xander giving Alex a hell of a black eye.

Justin gives Alex an ice bag to put on his black eye. Justin asks if Xander looks as bad. Alex argues that Xander had an unfair advantage. Justin suspects this fight was personal. Alex guesses it was. Justin questions what they were fighting about. Alex explains that Xander doesn’t like that he’s sleeping with Gwen. Justin questions Alex sleeping with Gwen voluntarily. Alex argues that Gwen is a beautiful and smart woman. Justin jokes that maybe Xander wasn’t mad at him, but trying to knock some sense in to his thick skull.

Tripp has his headphones in and his shirt off as he dances around the apartment while making a bowl of cereal. Wendy comes in and sees him. Wendy then taps him on the shoulder and startles him, causing him to spill his cereal. Tripp tells her that he thought he was alone and asks why she isn’t at work. Wendy explains that she had vacation days to use so she took the day off. Wendy jokes about interrupting his underwear dance party. Tripp acknowledges that he’s a terrible dancer and says that Allie and Chanel both tried to teach him but he still sucks. Wendy brings up that he was a pretty good slow dancer in Hong Kong. Tripp says anyone can do that. They decide they will clean up the mess but they end up getting close with one another until they are interrupted by a knock at the door. Wendy answers the door and it’s Johnny, who says he’s sorry he didn’t call first. Johnny then sees Tripp shirtless inside and says he hopes he’s not interrupting anything.

Xander informs Maggie that Alex is sleeping with Gwen which shocks her. Maggie questions if Alex has forgotten what Gwen did to Sarah, Abigail, Laura, Jennifer, Jack, and all the children. Xander doesn’t think Alex was looking for a soulmate. Maggie asks what it is about Gwen that makes men so stupid. Xander knows how Maggie feels about Gwen but worries that Alex is going to hurt her. Maggie mocks the idea of Xander looking out for her. Maggie argues that men punch other men because they are jealous.

Gwen admits to Leo that Alex and Xander got in to a fight but not because Xander was jealous, but because he was being a wanker about her sleeping with Alex. Leo argues that is the definition of jealousy. Leo believes Gwen is screwing Alex to screw with Xander because she likes getting under his skin. Gwen admits that maybe a little true but she’s not proud of it. Leo encourages that screwing with people is her best event. Gwen is fully aware that she still has feelings for Xander but not enough to play second fiddle to Sarah, so she doesn’t want him back. Leo says there’s nothing wrong with making him suffer a little and she’s so good at it.

Brady apologizes to Chloe because he went to see Kristen yesterday and she said she called Chloe and made digs about her breakup with Stefan. Brady says she shouldn’t have to deal with that. Chloe says she shouldn’t let Kristen get under her skin like that. Brady hates that Kristen does everything she can to make her life miserable, but he may have found a way to neutralize her. Brady reveals that he made Kristen write a letter to Rachel, saying that she needed to accept their relationship. Chloe questions how he managed that. Brady admits he played a little dirty but Kristen wrote the letter and he gave it to Rachel last night. Chloe asks how Rachel reacted. Brady says that Rachel didn’t say much, but they both know Kristen has serious sway with Rachel.

Kristen questions Rachel using Brady’s phone to take an uber by herself and warns that it’s dangerous. Rachel assures that the driver was really nice. Kristen questions how she got in without the guards stopping her. Rachel explains that they tried but she faked crying. Kristen asks why she went to all this trouble and if something is wrong. Rachel presents the letter Kristen wrote and questions what it is about.

Tripp goes to get dressed while Johnny says he doesn’t have to on his account. Wendy guesses he has questions. Johnny asks if he Tripp usually parades around the apartment in his underwear. Wendy explains that Tripp thought he was alone and was startled when he saw her. Wendy then asks what Johnny is doing here. Johnny says he called her office but they said she took the day off, so he thought they could hang out if she is willing to forgive him.

Alex tells Justin that he knows Gwen has done some messed up things. Justin says it’s a little more than messed up and brings up what she did to Abigail and Sarah. Alex doesn’t mean to shock him but says it’s not Gwen’s character that he’s interested in and says they are using each other. Alex explains that Gwen is helping him get over Stephanie and he’s helping her get over Xander. Alex adds that he can’t understand why Gwen is hung up on Xander because he’s a total douchebag.

Xander tells Maggie that he’s not jealous then admits that maybe he is a little bit. Xander adds that he has no right to be jealous since he told Gwen that he’s not over Sarah. Xander complains that he thinks about Sarah all the time and asks if Maggie has heard from her. Maggie confirms that she loves her new job at the hospital. Xander asks if Sarah and Rex are dating now then says he doesn’t mean to pry. Maggie tells Xander that Sarah is enjoying her new life in Chicago and not looking back, so she doesn’t think he should look back either. Maggie says there must be someone out there for Xander. Maggie knows it hurt to lose Sarah but says he needs to follow her lead, move on, and let Gwen move on.

Leo opens his laptop and says he expected more than one comment after running a story about Chloe calling Brady’s daughter a deranged monster. Leo then looks it over and finds that everything about Chloe was completely cut from his column. Gwen asks if he forgot to put it in. Leo says of course not and that it was his lead story, so he questions what the hell happened.

Chloe asks if Brady really thinks Kristen’s letter to Rachel will work. Brady doesn’t think it will be long before Chloe and Rachel are best friends and maybe they can finally just be together again. Brady says he’s missed her so damn much. Chloe admits she has missed him. Brady suggests they get started on this and he’ll pick Rachel up from school, then they can hang out which Chloe agrees with. Brady says he has to go do some work but he will call her later. Brady kisses Chloe goodbye and then exits the Pub.

Kristen tells Rachel that she wrote the letter herself. Rachel asks if she’s really okay with Brady being with Chloe then. Kristen thinks back to Brady ordering her to write the letter or else she would never see Rachel again. Kristen then tells Rachel that it’s complicated, but she’s a big girl now so she deserves to know the truth.

Johnny tells Wendy that he knows he really screwed up by swiping Tripp’s hospital card but he tried to make things right which she acknowledges. Johnny asks if that means she’s willing to give him a second chance. Wendy jokes about it being hard to say no to him when he acts sad. Wendy asks what he had in mind for today. Johnny suggests streaming movies and starting with “In the Mood for Love”. Tripp comes out of his room, so Wendy invites him to join their movie marathon. Tripp declines and says he’s going for a run and tells them to have fun. Tripp then exits as Johnny and Wendy sit together to watch movies.

Justin tells Alex that he could see it being hard to get over a woman like Stephanie, but he wonders if it would be more effective to try and get over her with someone who is vaguely like her instead of an unhinged psychopath. Alex asks if he’s messing things up. Justin says he’s just thinking out loud. Alex says if he met someone vaguely like Stephanie, he might fall in love again and that can’t happen because falling in love sucks. Justin points out that many songs disagree. Alex insists that sex works best when it’s casual. Justin says maybe someday, he’ll grow up and think differently about it. Justin asks Alex if Gwen knows that she’s only a relief player. Alex wouldn’t put it that way but assumes she does. Justin says he’d feel better if he nails that down and warns him about Gwen being a woman scorned. Justin then exits.

Gwen finishes a call with the Spectator office about Leo’s column. Leo asks if there was some sort of mix up but Gwen reveals that it was cut on purpose so Leo questions who the hell did that.

Chloe leaves the Brady Pub and runs in to Xander. Chloe says she’s glad she ran in to him. Xander jokes that he doesn’t hear that often since usually people see him and run the other way which hurts his feelings. Chloe asks if he’s tried not being an obnoxious jerk. Xander says this took a turn. Chloe apologizes but brings up that he did abandon her in Mexico with a psychotic drug lord so it’s hard to forget the grudge. Xander says that begs the question of why she’s glad to see him. Chloe wanted to ask about Leo’s column with what she said about Rachel since she thought Brady would want to kill her, but that didn’t end up in the story, so she asks if he knows what happened to it. Xander reveals that he cut it.

Gwen informs Leo that it was Xander. Leo questions why Xander would cut the best part of his column and complains that it undermines all the work he did to double cross Chloe. Gwen asks what he means. Leo explains that he asked Chloe to get him free clothes from Basic Black’s men’s line and said he wouldn’t print it but then he was going to anyway and now Chloe is going to think he held up his end of the bargain. Leo complains that Xander took all the fun out of it, so he’s going to give him a piece of his mind and storms out.

Tripp finishes his run in the park and stops on the bench. Tripp thinks back to earlier and imagines kissing Wendy. Tripp tells himself it’s not going to happen and pours water on his head.

Johnny and Wendy talk about the movie they are watching. Johnny asks if it has her in the mood for love which she laughs at. Wendy tells him that she’s really glad he came over as they kiss.

Kristen tells Rachel that she and Brady have things they don’t agree on. Brady arrives and questions what Rachel is doing here when she’s supposed to be in school. Rachel says she came to see her mom. Brady complains that her principal called to tell him that she wasn’t in school and he had to use his phone to track her down. Brady questions how she got here. Kristen informs him that Rachel used his phone to call an uber. Brady argues that Rachel stole his phone and asks if Kristen put her up to it. Kristen assures that she didn’t and had no idea that she was coming. Brady questions Kristen not calling him to let him know that she hadn’t been kidnapped. Kristen insists that she was going to call him but Rachel was so upset that she needed to comfort her. Brady asks why she was so upset. Kristen responds that Rachel wanted to know if what she wrote in the letter was true and if she is okay with Brady and Chloe being together. Brady asks what she said to her. Kristen claims that before Brady burst in, she was about to tell Rachel that she meant every word she wrote. Kristen tells Rachel that she just wants Brady to be happy and if that means being with Chloe, so be it.

Chloe questions Xander killing Leo’s story and asks how he made that happen. Xander calls it a perk of being a publisher and says it wasn’t a fit in his opinion. Chloe says she’s beyond grateful but asks if that’s not exactly the type of story that the Spectator wants. Xander admits he saw how upset Chloe was and it didn’t seem right. Chloe asks if he did it out of the goodness of his heart. Xander adds that he didn’t want to give Kristen any armor after what she did to Sarah and that Leo could use a reminder that he’s in charge. Xander admits he mostly did it to be petty. Chloe thanks him because things have been so complicated for her and Brady that she’s not sure they would have survived Leo printing that story.

Alex goes to Gwen’s room. Gwen notices his black eye and says she wasn’t expecting him. Alex says he just wanted to come by and clear some things up about everything between them. Alex explains that he sees it as a fun, no strings kind of thing and he’s not exactly looking for a relationship. Gwen says she’s not either and she’s very happy with meaningless sex. Alex says that’s great then and guesses he’ll take off. Gwen points out that he came all the way over and asks if he’s sure he doesn’t want to engage in more of that meaningless sex right now. Gwen says there’s no time like the present as they start kissing.

Johnny and Wendy kiss on the couch until Tripp comes home. Wendy asks how his run was. Tripp says it was good and asks about the movie. Johnny says it was great. Tripp then heads to the shower. Wendy jokes that she feels like she almost got caught by her parents. Johnny asks how long Tripp will be in the shower. Wendy says not long enough and suggests getting back to the movie which they do.

Justin goes to see Maggie at Titan. Justin mentions that Alex told him they were having some issues. Maggie asks if Alex sent him to smooth things over. Justin says that Alex doesn’t know he’s here and that this is a solo mission. Justin assures Maggie that Alex knows he messed up and he wants this arrangement to work. Maggie says she wants it to work too but she doesn’t know if Alex will ever accept the fact that she’s in charge. Justin encourages her to give Alex a chance to prove himself to her.

Alex and Gwen lay in bed after having sex. Alex comments that working from home definitely has it’s benefits. Gwen asks about him not going back to the office. Alex explains that Maggie doesn’t want him there until his eye heals up. Gwen says she’s so sorry about that. Alex says it’s not her fault and adds that he’s already on Maggie’s bad side since going to Victor made it worse. Alex adds that he just has to find a way to get in Maggie’s good graces.

The prison guard calls Kristen for her shift in the laundry room. Kristen hugs Rachel and tells her how wonderful it was to see her. Kristen makes Rachel promise not to come again by herself. Kristen tells her that she loves her and then exits. Brady tells Rachel that she scared him today and he doesn’t want her to ever pull a stunt like this again. Rachel apologizes to him. Brady says he’s going to take her back to school and then afterwards, they will hang out with Chloe. Rachel complains but Brady reminds her that Kristen said she’s fine with it and wants her to give Chloe a chance. Brady makes Rachel promise to try and then they leave the prison but Rachel had her fingers crossed behind her back.

Xander asks Chloe if he’s made up for the whole leaving her in the clutches of a psychotic drug lord thing. Chloe says no, but she is sincerely grateful for what he did. Chloe then hugs Xander as Leo walks up and sees them. Leo then takes photos of Chloe and Xander hugging.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sloan really trashed your office. Trashed would be an understatement. Looks like a bomb went off. I, I thought this nightmare was finally over. How are we supposed to ever feel safe? Look, it’s gonna be okay, but if Sloan is coming after us, she’ll be sorry. Ms. Stang has messed with our family for the last time.

Well, do you think the police are gonna bust her? She better hope they take care of her trifling behind, because if they don’t misbelief, I will. Well, what has happened with you ra? This doesn’t concern you, Eric. Well then what does it concern as the commissioner said, we’ll fill you in when we get to the station.

Yeah. Like hell, you will. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what you’re bringing me in for. All right. You wanna do this here? Fine. You’ve been accused by Paulina Price of breaking into our office and trashing the place seriously. Vandalism guys, do I not look serious? Do you look pretty serious to me, boss?

Yeah. Thank you. Mm-hmm. . So you’re gonna come quietly, or are we gonna have to arrest you here and here? Boyfriend’s restaurant.

You can’t be totally shocked that your wife is being unfaithful. Gabriela is hardly the poster child for virtue. Why are you so sure Gabby and Ste are together? Because it’s the truth. We, your wife is making a cock hold of you. Do you have proof? Gabby lied about her business Dinner with Nicole.

How’s this for proof the Sailor Man? Go to room three 12 right now. You’ll find your wife in my brother’s bed.

What’s wrong? Something doesn’t feel right. What I thought you wanted this as much as I do. Well, Gabby, there’s nothing I want more in this world. Then why are you hesitating? What think it’s not gonna, as it as you remember it. Oh, no. Hell no. I have no doubt in my mind after all this time, it is going to be better than ever.

What is the problem we’re about to make love for the first time in over four years, EJ and Nicole made this happen for us. Why are we gonna, why are we gonna ruin this opportunity?

I’m sorry, Gabby. We can’t. Why the hell not? Because we’re being set up.

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

Okay, so what do you mean we’re being set up? I mean, EJ and Nicole didn’t do this out of the goodness of their own heart. They did this because it’s part of a plan. Stephen, how do you know that? Honestly, I’ve been suspicious ever since they pitched this whole secret Renez group. I had my doubts too, but I asked Nicole when she swore that her and EJ were just doing this to.

And you don’t find that odd. At this whole time, EJ has done everything in his power to keep us apart. Now all of a sudden he does a 180 and joins team Stabby. That’s right. I said it. Okay. Yes, it does sound a little odd now that I think about it. So, okay. Five, what’s, what’s your theory? My theory is that son of a bitch wants your husband to catch us together.

Well, what are you waiting for? You hold in your hand the literal key to catching Gabby and reclaiming your shares.

Gabby’s my wife in name only. Her heart and soul belongs to Stephan and as we speak, her body does as well. You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? I’m just trying to be a friend. Come. Where is your dignity? You think it’s dignified of me to go storming over there and catch her in the app? If you don’t catch us, she’s going to walk away from your marriage with Stephan and a considerable block of Damira shares, I don’t think even you would allow that to happen.

I knew you would come to your senses. Come on.

This is outrageous. Paul used her wealth and position to cover up Chanel murdering my mother and now I’m the one being brought in for questioning. One has nothing to do with the other. Yeah. Yet I’m being accused based on what Paulina price’s word. We’re not accusing you of anything that you are bringing her in for Question.

We’d like Ms. Peterson to answer a few questions on the record. You’re the one choosing to do this the hard way. Fine. Let’s just get this over with and listen, I’m gonna go down with you. No, no, no. Don’t worry about it. This is not my first rodeo. I can handle it myself. And once this farce is over, I’ll text you, okay?

Okay, ej, we’re all set. Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end, she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help. Let me know how it goes with Lee.

The court went across the street. I said I would be willingly. You don’t need a strong army. Oh my goodness. , are you arresting her? Seattle, Nicole. Oh, gotta love it when a lawyer needs a lawyer. So what are you bringing her in for? Impersonating a decent human being. Uh, please don’t interfere unless you’d like to be arrested for pending of police investigation.

Oh, don’t let me stand in your way. Good luck, Sloane. You know, I was wondering, will they let you keep those cheap hair extensions on the inside? Oh, go to hell. Love you too.

Gosh, I just keep getting better and better. Mama, the last thing I want is for you to get into any more trouble because of Sloan Peterson. Sloan is the one who started all this accusing you of murder. She tried to ruin our lies because she couldn’t face the truth. Okay, well just let the police deal with Sloan.

Okay? Well, sometimes if you want, you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. Look, Chanel is right Ms. Price. My sister and Commissioner Hernandez will make sure that woman pays for what she did to your office. You don’t, you don’t know that. What, mom, are you okay? I’m, I need to sit down here. Come sit down honey.

Honey. Because my breath, what’s going on? You can look. So love this price. Ooh, C. Don’t feel so good either. What is it you think I’m having heart attack?

I’m calling an ambulance. My phone, what the hell is my phone? Her property is Ms. Price. Can you please tell me the symptoms you’re experiencing right now?

Check my, he. Oh my God, mama, we, we need to get her to the hospital. No, just hold on a second. Do you have any jaw tightening? Arm pain? Okay. What about your stomach and your back? Any pressure in your chest? Oh, my chest is tight. No, no pain. What is going on? I wanna try something real quick. Close your eyes please.

That helps. Just a heart attack. Just trust me. Okay. Take a deep breath and through your nose, through your mouth. What are you doing? Please this price. You got this again? There you go. Deep breath in. Deep cleansing. Breath out. There you go. Deep breath in. Deep, deep breath out. You too. Chanel. What? Just try it.

All right. There you go. How are you Feeling? Better? Yeah. Oh, I feel much better. Mm-hmm. . Talia. Tell me what’s going on. I don’t think your mama was having a heart attack. Well then what is it? Have you ever suffered a panic attack before? I never panicked. I’m cool under pressure. Well, a panic attack is different.

It’s a very real medical condition with real serious symptoms. I never had one before. How do you know about about this? Tall Is a doctor Mama like a doctor? Doctor, like a real md? Yes, ma’am. Well, I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I. Why the hell did you quit medicine to work in a bakery? Oh, woo.

Hey Justin, it’s Eric. Hey, I’m, when you get this, can you call me back as soon as you can? I have a friend who needs a good attorney.

You have something to say?

I just think it’s romantic that you’re hiring a lawyer for your gal pal. I I was just wondering how does the former St. Eric feel about sleeping with a criminal? She’s not a criminal, she didn’t do it. Do what exactly. I mean, Your ex and my ex haul your current s new bed buddy down to the station. For the record, it’s none of your.

And if I did have a problem sleeping with criminals, I never would’ve shared my bed with you. You have a rap sheet just as long as your boyfriend ejs. Okay, ej. We’re all set. Gabby and Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help.

Let me know how it goes with Lee.

Dear Stephan, I hope you enjoy your time with that duplicitous snake. It won’t be long before Gabriela’s husband arrives to catch him in the act.

If Lee bust in here catches us in the act that will make you forfeit your claim to his Demari shares, then EJ won’t have to worry about you and I teaming up to take back the. You don’t think you’re being paranoid when it comes to my brother? I wouldn’t put anything past him, especially working with Nicole.

I heard she was quite the schemer back in the day. I can’t believe I You believe I didn’t see through her. She was pretending to be my friend, but I guess I just wanted to be with you so badly that I made the dumb decision to believe it was real. Okay. No, no, no. Gabby, this, you and I, this is what’s real call and EJ are not our friends.

Can’t believe people would do something like this playing with our lives. You know what they’re gonna pay. They will. They will. I’m. There’s nothing I wanted more than to spend tonight with you on this bed. Um, maybe we can, we can have a quick eating house. So nothing, huh? As much as I hate to say. No, we can’t risk if there’s too much at stake.

You’re right. But we will find a way to be together, I promise. Okay, so now what we order some room service, place something on Peacock and wait for a lead to charge in. No. No. I got a better idea.

Okay. A latte for you and a nice calming chemical tea for you, . Oh, thank you. Call me Paul. Lena, you saved my life. I can ditch the formality. I didn’t exactly save your life, but, okay. You got it Paul. So how are you feeling? Oh, better. You have an excellent bedside manner, doctor and I, I hope didn’t, you know I’ll be to mind my praying about your career switch.

Oh no. It’s okay. I mean, it is a pretty radical change, jumping from medicine, working at a bakery and a substantial pay cut. Yeah, and that too, a lot of people would think it’s crazy. I don’t know. I need a change. Oh, your parents must be thrilled, mama. No, not everybody has a mother’s understanding is you do Chanel

No, she’s right. Let’s just say it was definitely, um, an adjustment period. My mother liked to say my daughter, the doctor who wouldn’t . No, it’s, but at the end of the day, she wanted to see me happy and are. I am mostly, mm-hmm. . Well, I’m just glad that you remembered all those skills you learned in med school when it came time to stop that damn panic attack.

Well, I’m happy to help, but I still want you to follow up with your primary care physician, okay? Mm-hmm.

And if you aren’t seeking a therapist, I highly suggest it seems like you’re under a lot of stress lately. Oh, I have been. All my anxieties will melt away when Sloan Peterson is behind boss. For the last time, I had nothing to do. Remodeling a Paul’s tacky office. Would someone mind telling me what’s going on?

And here, Linda, thank God Cagney and Lacy here have been trying to railroad me for a crime that I didn’t commit. What you just asking her a few questions? Commissioner a word? Yeah.

Carry on. Detective. I’ll be right back.

You mind telling me why you’re questioning a prominent defense attorney in my police station? Prominent, first of all, it’s the Peoples police station, and second, she’s a suspect in. Which crime would that be? Well, someone broke into Paulina Price’s office and ransacked the place. What makes you suspect Ms.

Peterson? Come on, animosity with Mrs. Price is well documented. What’s the problem? Sloan Peterson has been a constant thorn in my side. If you send me this case to prosecute, it better be ironclad. I can’t appear to be using my office to go after a professional riv. Of course not. You would never do that.

Damn da.

I have somewhere to be. Don’t blow it this time, commissioner. Okay.

Finally. Trask told you to let me go, didn’t she? I don’t take orders from the DA, Ms. Peterson. Maybe not, but she’s gonna be the one who has to try the flimsy case. She managed to build against me in court. I already humiliated her once. I doubt she wants to go through that again. That’s what you’re all about, huh?

Winning or losing. What else is there? Well, it’s just really interesting to me that so far you’re zero for. When going after Pauline and Chanel? Good point, detective. That’s right. Both the criminal and civil cases were thrown out. I must have upset you son. That would make me want to even the score.

I’m curious. This is this whole bad cop, bad cop thing. Usually work out for you guys. That’s from where I’m sitting. It’s just so boring.

Now I see why Salem’s so full of criminals running around this with you two idiots in charge. Where were you last night? Home. Can you verify that? Because it’s not, that doesn’t count an alibi. Were you alone, Ms. Peterson? Can someone vouch for the fact that you were home at the time that Pauling, his office was broken into?

Listen, you’re gearing up for round two. Save it. I don’t have the time to the energy. I know this may surprise you, but I don’t relish in fighting with you either, especially since you’ve gotten so good with hitting below the belt. Yeah. There’s only so much one can take before he starts fighting back.

Says the guy who literally preached about turning the other cheek, that guy lost his calling. He lost his baby. He lost his mom, his aunt, his stepmom, and the woman he loved. And when once someone’s faced with that over and over again, I say he doesn’t have another cheek to turn.

Am I interrupting something?

Please, Gabby, don’t be in this room.

What the hell are you doing with my wife? What the hell, Lee? Save your outrage for the next loser. Whose wife you try to steal. Sorry there buddy, but uh, just shut up. I know you’re under there. Gabby, at least have the decency to come out and face me. All right, fine. Happy now. Whoops.

I am. I don’t understand. Oh, we should never explained it to you. You see when a boy bee likes a girl bird thing. Okay, what the hell’s going on here? Lee, you’re the one who burst into this room. You tell me. Yeah. How did you get in here anyway? Do the people of. No, you’re sleeping with a member of the Demer crime family.

sorry. We’re a crime family. Now what I do off the clock is my business, and you are the last person who should be casting stones, considering you used the family’s mad scientist, a Brainwasher man, and keep him away from his wife. She’s talking about me. Mm-hmm. , by the way, Lee, you still haven’t explained why you walked in here screaming about.

Why did you think your wife would be in here? You’re the one responsible for keeping us apart. Remember? Yeah. I’m still wondering how you got a copy of the room key. Maybe that’s something I should look into once I’m back on the clock. That’s a good idea. Until then if like, excuse me, I’d like to go back to enjoying my evening.

Why are you just standing there gaping at us? It’s kind of creepy. I wasn’t even aware you knew each other. Oh, I’ve had my eye on this one for quite some time. We bumped into each other and sparks flu. Hmm. A woman has needs. And I’m a sucker for a powerful man since you’ve made it next to impossible for me and Gabby to reunite you.

And I might as well move on with her. Yeah. You gonna throw him out or? Shall I? That won’t be necessary. I’ll go.

You’re welcome.

We don’t have all night Ms. Peterson. Is there anyone who can confirm your alibi or not? I was at home. . In other words, no, I’m sorry that I don’t have a witness whenever I’m in my apartment. But then again, it really doesn’t seem like you guys have evidence, fingerprints. I maybe some d n of course not because I wasn’t there.

I didn’t vandalize Paulina Price’s office. Just like you didn’t vandalize sweet bits a few months ago. You know? Are we done here? You guys have no grounds to hold me on and absolutely no proof of me committing any crime.

All right, you’re free to go. Thank you for this colossal waste of my time and the taxpayer’s money. Yeah. Well, one more thing before you go. What if you are harassing Pauline and her daughter? It ends. You’re on our radar. Your radar. Yeah. We’re watching you. Every move. Give you so much as cut. Paulina Orch, elephant traffic.

Your ass will be back here. Mm-hmm. . And next time we press charges, Hmm. Well you better hope that there’s not a next time because this is blatant harassment. And if you continue to use the Salem Police Department to bully me on behalf of your boss, mayor Carver, then I will make it my life’s mission to make sure that the two of you can’t even work security at the Salem Mall.

And all my experience, once you start having panic attacks, they don’t normally go all the way on their own child. Please, I’ve survived an abusive partner. Give me up my firstborn daughter, losing my husband, and any kind of trauma that you can name, I don’t get through this, mama. You don’t have to act tough.

I am tough now that I know what this is. I’ll deal with it. There’s no shame in getting a little help. I’m fine. Look, I’ve seen it way too many times. Okay. Black women stressed and anxious suffering in silence cuz they think they have to be strong all the time. Don’t worry, I will make sure that mama follows up even if I have to make the appointment and drive her there myself.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, let’s not forget who the mom is around here.

Is there a reason why the two of you keep showing up in my family’s restaurant, Eric, is that any way to treat paying customers, especially in this, I don’t care. What would dear Sweet Mob Brady say about that? She would say that sometimes the money. isn’t worth it. Sometimes the customers aren’t worth the trouble.

As delightful as this has been, I have somewhere I need to be. You’re not even going to take our order. I’m still looking forward to a robust bowl of your famous Goul. Oh, . Sorry. Shout. I’ll be sure to send over one of my servers. By the way, leave a nice tip.

I don’t think he’s sending over a so, huh uh, right. Yeah. Soap. Oh, what did Agnes, nothing important. So, so did you hear from Lee? Not yet, but I think the poor fellow is somewhere licking his wounds after finding Stephan on top of Gabriela poor underneath . By either way, now that Lee is reclaiming his shares from Gabby.

She’ll never be a threat to my reign.

What’s the matter? You seem surprised to see me.

Are you okay? It looked like you’ve seen a ghost. You do remember? I live here too. Yeah. I, um, I just wasn’t expecting to see you. Why not? I, um, I figured you’d, uh, still be out with Nicole. How is the business dinner? Oh, you’re not gonna believe this. Try me. Nicole had no intention of discussing potential fashion partnerships.

Then why’d she invite you out? Get this the whole thing with a setup.

Come on. All right. If dress is on her way, you think you can twist her? No, but she hates EJ as much as anybody else besides, I think she has a little bit of a crush on me. Oh, great. EJ thinks he’s got one over on us. It’s time for UJ to know he’s playing checkers and we’ve been playing chess. All right.

Well, good luck. Who needs luck when I have you. I love you, Stephan. I love you too. Okay. This will happen again soon. I just, I don’t wanna be here when me s

Thank you again for doing this. Oh, it was actually kind of fun. I dabbled in a little theater when I was in college. Mostly one acts, but they kept casting me as the villain. Go figure. Well, I mean, once being in a courtroom, but one big performance. Right? And he really brought down the house tonight. Oh.

Anything to cause harm to ej. God deserves to suffer after he helped your psycho sister Kristin of a justice. My family really does make your life more d. I don’t know how you stand them. Your brother pretending to want to help you and Gabby be together only to set you up . That’s how we Dara’s role. My God knows Gabby’s not my favorite person in the world, but.

That’s just vi indeed. But thanks to you, EJ was the big loser tonight. Just wish I could be there when he realizes we got the better of him.

Oh, I’d much prefer a bottle of vco, but any Putin stone. Elvis, just make the toast to Stefan and Gabriela. May their I prudent reunion solidify my hold on mirror for generations to come.

Oh. Well, well thanks for nothing, commissioner. Glad to see my tax dollars is going right in the toilet. Oh, what happened? And Jayla let Sloan walk right out of the police station. No charges nothing. That woman is free to terrorize our family with no consequences. Okay, mama, calm down. You’re eating all worked up again.

Damn right. I’m getting worked up. Okay, but you don’t wanna have another panic attack. Look, Chanel is right in this price. Paulina, remember to breathe. Yes, yes, yes. I’m breathing. I’m breathing.

Uh, where are you? Um, I’m gonna go grab a few things in my office. It will, I’ll drive you. No, no, that’s okay. I’ve got a driver. Are you sure? Yes, yes. I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m okay. Tyler. Thanks again. Thank you for all of your help. Of course. You ladies, you, you have a nice, nice,

you get my message. Are you okay? What happened at the. A complete waste of my time is what happened at the station. Once I pointed out that they had no evidence tying me to the break in the Paul’s, they had to let me go believe you that you didn’t do it. No. I still think that Rafe and your delightful ex believe I’m guilty.

Are you? Am I what? Guilty. Did you do it?

Nicole took me out to Tri Act all friendly with me. She even said she’s sneaking me into the Salem. In the Salem in, yeah, for a secret. Ron David with Stephan. What’d you say? Well, I refused, of course. I told her I’m married to you. You know, from what I’m getting. Nicole’s working with ej, you know, they were hoping that I would take the bait, catch me cheating, and then wrap me out to you.

I see as if I would risk losing all your dememer shares for some role in the hay. You weren’t. A deal’s a deal. I am your committed and faithful wife, at least until the end of our agreed upon term. Listen, I’ve had a really long day. I’m gonna have to bet you in the morning.

Oh, as fun as this was, I better get going. Tell your girlfriend she owes me one. We both do. I am well aware and I intend on calling in my marker. The second, the two of You’re in control of Dira, what are you looking for? I don’t know. Um, seat on the corporate board. Sizable donation to the foundation I set up in my daughter’s honor.

Whatever you want is yours. Oh, be careful what you promised, Stephan. You know I wasn’t lying to Lee when I said. I’ve had my eye on you for quite some time. Mm-hmm. , , , flattering as that is my heart and all my other body parts. belong to Gabby. Well, I hope she knows how lucky she is. I’m the lucky one. Well, I also know that she’s kind of a train wreck when it comes to relationships.

So if things don’t work out between the two of you, oof, you know where to find me.

I’m curious about something, right? When Lee burst through the door, I mean, Stephan had to know that we set him up, not assume, okay, so he’s not gonna be very happy with either one of us, but you’re his brother. He’ll get over it. And I’m willing to sacrifice our brotherly bond to make sure Gabby never gets her grubby little fingers on anything else of mine.

So are you going to tell me why Eric had his niggers in the twist earlier? Ah, well, no surprise. Turns out his girlfriend Sloan is as crooked as her clients. Yeah. Wow. Mm-hmm.

you think I trashed Pauline’s office? I’m not saying you did it with your own hands. You could have hired somebody to do your work. You’re unbelievable. I’m not judging you, but when I think about those responsible for taking away my mother, there’s. Telling you how much I want them to suffer in every way.

Fine. You need me to say it. I’ll say it. I didn’t trash Paulina’s office. I didn’t pay someone to trash Paulina’s office. I’m innocent.

Okay.

I.

You should go on home. I will. I’m just looking through the evidence from Paulina Price’s file. Anything we missed? No. I really wanted to get something to nail that SMUGs Sloan Peterson. Yeah, I hear you should have heard Pauline’s voice on the phone when I told her that we had to release Sloan. We’ll get her next time.

Bus. Yeah. Yeah. If he plans for tonight. Oh yeah. Exciting. I was thinking of heading home, you know, mashables loose and then dine in on some leftover pizza with a side of general SO’S chicken. Oh, a coincidence. I was gonna do the same while dining on a frozen lasagna with a side of frosted pop tar. E Frosted.

Oh, look at you fancy pants. , , Damaris, and Kiki ain’t got nothing on you? Nope.

Uh, good night. Yeah, Janet,

thanks for being so good with my mom earlier. She doesn’t like listening, does she? Not really her thing. But you did gain her trust and mine. If you weren’t there, I might’ve had a panic attack myself. . I’m just glad she’s okay. Yeah. You worried about her? Yeah, I, she, she puts on this brave front, but I can tell that this message Sloan is really starting to get to.

I just, I dunno how much more she can take.

Oh, what a damn mess. Only an animal would do something like this. Oh, oh, what is this? This wasn’t here before. Somebody must have got in the office after the police left.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

Willow, do you realize you’re only two days out from your procedure? I tried to tell her to stay home and rest. Later. Right now, this is exactly where I need to be. (Sighing) oh, I’m so glad to see you. Come in. Oh, come here! Hi, grandma! I’m officially cleared to donate my bone marrow to willow. That is such good news, such good news! God knows that we could use them, especially a day like today. You going to the memorial? Really? I couldn’t stand that people who’d openly wished britta ill attended her service. Aunt liesl, you are many, many things, but hypocrite is not one of them. Epiphany and I did nothing but butt heads. I’m not happy she’s gone, but I’m glad she died honorably. Just like britt. We should all be so lucky.

[Sighs] Boss. Want some company?


How are you doing, marshall? It doesn’t make sense that she’s gone. Well, unfortunately, pop, a lot of things in life just don’t make sense. You know, hanging out with epiphany was often the highlight of my work shift.

[Laughter] Yeah, I’m sure it was. We laughed so much when I was helping her prep for the mcats. I mean, I’m surprised we got anything done. But she pulled through, didn’t she? With your encouragement, marshall. You’re not just a nurse. You are epiphany johnson. You’ve been up to the crack of dawn studying for these mcats, girl, you got this. Thank you for the encouragement. Hey, I’m just stating facts. What if I don’t pass? So what? A valiant effort is not a failure. Far from it. It’s brave. Epiphany, it’s courageous. And it makes me so very proud of you. Right before epiphany took her mcats, she was scared. And she said that this was all my fault. And she was right. If it wasn’t for me, epiphany would still be here. I just want to see how you’re holding up. What do you think, does this look right here? Because I could put it over there. I think it’s perfect. The fact that you pulled this all together on such short notice-it’s impressive, to say the least. It’s not like you really had a choice. Epiphany had it in her will that I would get to organize her celebration. Still bossing around from the afterlife, I see. Yeah.

[Chuckles] Although that was before everything had to come out about what I had done. She must have been so disappointed in me. I just wish she could have focused on being at johns hopkins and her future and not-hey. Hey, epiphany was driving home. And there was an accident on the side of the road, and she jumped in to help, just like you’d expect her to. Yeah. Yeah, she was being the epiphany we all knew and loved. I just wish I could have made it right with her. I had a feeling I’d find you here. Back when we were sort of, almost, kind of dating, you’d always wallow in here when you’re sad. I’ve earned a right to a little wallowing. Don’t you think? Epiphany was my friend. This vital presence, and now, she’s just gone. (Voiceover) now, I also understand that she’s not the only patient that you snapped at lately. You snap at people all the time. Well, that’s different. Why? Because I said so. Now, I want an explanation. Is there something going on with you? Ok, I may have been down in the dumps ever since things went so spectacularly south with brad. You can do better. I’m sorry for bringing that stuff to work. Wait. What’d you say? I said, you can do better. No, she’s not. No one’s ever really gone, as long as you hold onto her. In here.

[Cries] Look at this place-caring for the people of port charles for 60 years. Can you believe it? These walls-they’ve seen everything. Yeah. And I’m afraid today is going to be a hard one. General hospital’s lost one of its best. I couldn’t agree more. But here we are. We’re still standing. [Chuckles] Sometimes barely. Still something to be grateful for. And we have to keep going until we can’t anymore. I believe epiphany would want that. Diane! Hello, laura. Hi, robert. I didn’t think I’d be seeing you today. Well, epiphany asked me to be the executor of her will. I just have one final thing to do before the memorial. Yeah. A grind never stops, does it? (Laughing) no. I actually can’t stay very long either. I have to fill in for the deputy mayor while she’s indisposed. Is there any update on her whereabouts? Uh, well, I acquired some assistance the other night and diane helped me. Did I ever.

[Chuckles] Oh, yeah, she can be trusted. She’s a friend. High praise. Right. Well, I’d better get inside. I’ll see you in there. I look forward to it. Well.

[Laughs] You seem a little happier than you were before. Does this have something to do with diane? Hmm? Well.


What are you talking about? Hmm? What’s your fault? I pushed epiphany to go into med school. That’s a good thing, pop. If she hadn’t taken mcats, if she hadn’t gotten into johns hopkins, she wouldn’t have been on the road the other night, and she wouldn’t have seen that accident. And she’d still be here with us. No. No, no. Marshall, you reignited her dream, and she attained her dream. She got to prove to herself that all those people were wrong all those years ago who said that she couldn’t do it, and she did it! She actually did it! Think about how amazing that is and how many people really get to have that kind of satisfaction. Before epiphany passed, any semblance of self-doubt, of regret, that she had been carrying around for decades-that lifted off of her. And I’m gonna tell you right now, that’s a gift. And if I know epiphany, I know in my heart that she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

[Sobbing] It’s good to see you, milo. You, too, boss. I wish it was under different circumstances. Man, uh, epiphany was one of a kind. I’m so lucky I got to have her in my life. You know what? Epiphany was lucky, too. (Voiceover) you think I’m trying to change you? Aren’t you? Not even close. I took you the protein shack because it’s where I like to go. It never occurred to me to try anywhere else. But if I made you feel that you’re not good enough for me, I am so sorry. It’s just the opposite. I worry all the time if I’m good enough for you. And as for the way you look, you are beautiful inside and out, epiphany. That’s why I asked you out. I wouldn’t change a thing. You ok? (Crying) yeah. I’m just grateful for all the memories. What about you, boss? How’s everything going? You mean the business? You know, things are a little dicey. I’m happy to step in again if you need more help, you know, more hands on deck, just for old time’s sake. I appreciate that, but you’re one of the rare ones that got out-and lived. Let’s keep it that way. Dr. Obrecht, just the person I was looking for. May I help you? Indeed. As the executor for epiphany johnson’s will, I’ve been given a specific set of instructions for you. They are time-sensitive and must be completed today. By me? Yes. But nurse johnson and I despised one another. Well, be that as it may, epiphany johnson apparently felt you were the only one to be trusted with this job. Aunt liesl, what does it say? Epiphany was important to me. I understand that, willow. It’s just-without her support, I may never have gone into nursing. I’m considering applying to the nursing program. I’d still be able to work with kids, and maybe some of my experience as a teacher would translate. Hmm, well, the world always needs more good nurses. But you have to go back to school start from scratch. Oh, I know that. I didn’t think there would be any shortcuts. I’m just kind of at a crossroads. I’ll tell you what. If you still want to talk about it, you know where to find me. I don’t think I ever told her how much I appreciated that. I just want to attend the service and light a candle for my friend. And then, I will head straight back home. Promise. Can I count on you to help me do this? Oh, my gosh. You can count on us for anything. Always. We’re with you all the way. How come you’re here? I just want to see you before heading to epiphany’s memorial. Oh, gosh! Mom and dad really wanted to come, but sadly, they couldn’t get away from work. Of course not. Doctors, they’re always so busy trying to save people’s lives, right? Right. Anyways, I decided just because they kind of fly out didn’t mean that I couldn’T. So this young lady booked herself a flight. Of course she did. Wow. I can’t believe you’re sitting here right in front of me. Happy surprise? Oh, it’s the absolute happiest. Oh, come here.


Diane! Oh, my gosh. How long has it been? Too dang long. Come here. How’s max? He’s doing good. And how are you? Pretty sad today. I’m so sorry about epiphany. Thank you, diane. It’s nice to see you. I know I said this when we spoke, but I’m really, really sorry for your loss. I know that you and epiphany had a very special relationship. It really hit home how precious life can be and how it can be gone like that. That’s why we have to be careful. It’s funny, because when I think of life like that, the impermanence of it all, it makes me want to stay close to the people that I love. I know we can’t spend a lot of time together until things settle down, sonny, but if you want company to the memorial, I would love to go with you. I’d like that very much. I think the readings are a mistake. If I cut them, then it leaves more room for people to speak. Hey, elizabeth, this whole service, this celebration, whatever you want to call it, it’s beautiful. But it needs to be perfect. Perfect. I need to make it up to her. I just wish I knew what she was thinking at the end. Maybe I can help with that. Were you a friend of hers? More like she was my guardian angel. Your dear friend epiphany died saving my life.


Grandpa? [Stammering] My little girl! I don’t mean to intrude. I just read about epiphany’s memorial service, and I just-I don’t even know what I was hoping to find. I just jumped in my car, and here I am. You were with her when she passed? We’ve been trying to piece together all the details. It was late. I was driving home after a double shift. I’m a nurse as well. The roads were a mess and visibility was even worse. And I didn’t even see the downed power line before i was practically on it. And I swerved to get out of the way, and then I crashed into a utility pole. It was so much smoke and fire. I was terrified. I can imagine. I managed to get out of the car, but I was in so much pain, and it was so much blood and-then I saw the headlights. Epiphany? She pulled over and she just ran to me. She was barking orders at 911 the entire way. That sounds about right. Epiphany knew that if she moved me, I would bleed out, so she just-she put pressure on my wounds, and she just-she just talked to me in that soothing voice that she had. And she said to me, she said, I promise you I will not leave your side until the paramedics are here. And she didn’T. If it wasn’t for your friend-I just couldn’t stop thinking about her. So I asked my colleagues at the hospital what happened, and they said that she collapsed at the site. They said she had some problem. There was so much smoke, that she had some kind of complications or-she had a pre-existing heart condition. And she didn’t even think twice about risking her own life to save a stranger? That was her. Epiphany was a true healer. Epiphany was a hero. Sorry for your loss. We all lost her, sonny. So did you. Oh, this is milo giambetti. It’s nice to meet you, mr. Ashford. I’ve heard great things. Epiphany spoke very highly of you. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Sonny, you should head to the chapel. Milo, he said? Yeah. What a nice young man. How did he know epiphany? That’s epiphany’s ex-boyfriend. Yeah. She was full of surprises. Wow. Thank you for sharing with us. It means everything. And we’re-we’re very, very glad that you’re all right. Only because of epiphany. It’s comforting, knowing she left this world doing what she loved. Well, it looks to be about that time. All right. You’ll stay for the service, right? Oh, no, I should probably get going. I just-I just wanted epiphany’s loved ones to know what a brave and wonderful person she truly was. We already knew that. Look, please, stay. You drove all this way. Epiphany would want you here. You sure? Positive. Ok, I’ll stay. Who was that? Just one of the countless people who owe their life to epiphany.


thank you all for being here. How do you sum up the life of a person who has touched so many people in so many different ways? People fall into different categories. He’s the heart of the hospital. She’s the brains of the operation. The soul, the glue, the entertainer, the comforter-but not epiphany. No, ’cause she was all of those things wrapped up into one magnificent human being. She was firm and tender. She was a pragmatist, a dreamer. She was a taskmaster. And yet, she told her nurses to take as many mental health days as necessary. There’s a whole host of contradictions that, for some reason, never really seemed to conflict with each other. Fitting that today is just another one of those contradictions. It’s a celebration of her life while our hearts collectively break, mourning a woman who was a mentor, a best friend, someone we all considered family. So what are your plans for tonight? Well, franco has this session and-I didn’t ask you what franco’s plans were. I asked you what your plans were. What are you, the bride-to-be, going to be doing on the night before her wedding? Well, I was going to treat myself to a bubble bath and watch the last two episodes-oh, wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re going out with me for a drink. I’m going to miss her. But I am also flooded with gratitude, because who’s luckier than us to have known and loved and been loved by epiphany? No one’s luckier. Epiphany had a gift for connecting people, for telling them the truth, even when the truth was scary. When I first became a nurse, I was afraid of caring for terminal patients. I didn’t know how to be with them. Tiffany showed me by example. She got me to push past my fear, so I could help those who need me. She was generous with her time, her spirit, and our wisdom. I had my credentials when I got here, but it was epiphany who taught me how to be a nurse. I didn’t know epiphany as long as a lot of people in this room. But the impact that she had on my life-it was indescribable. We were work colleagues. We got along great. She got along great with everyone. But there was a time when she risked everything to protect my daughter and her father. And I think that that speaks to her character. We became great friends after that. And eventually-eventually, she-she became a part of my family. My father once told me, it’s the people who show up at your darkest moments-those are your real friends. God knows I’ve been through some dark moments. You know how much I hate being in this chair, right? Now, it’s time to take it to the next level. I’ll be the judge of that. Just watch. Hold my hand. You stubborn son of a bitch! Look at you! Look at you! If that’s the measure of true friendship, then epiphany was my best friend. It’s hard to imagine general hospital without epiphany. She’s certainly been here for as long as I can remember. It won’t be the same without her. Epiphany was a truthteller. If she liked someone, then they were worth having them in your life, but if she didn’t, it was probably best to avoid them. But epiphany allowed for growth. I think that was one of her best qualities in my opinion, because she believed people could change. They could get stronger, wiser, just better. And that’s a good thing, because i was one of those people. Epiphany ran to my rescue so many times-a lot of people’s rescue.


ladies and gentlemen-gentlemen, before we all rush away, one last piece of business. When I agreed to be epiphany’s executor for her will, she gave me a small but very specific set of instructions for today, but chief among them being that I escort you all to the roof. So please, will you all follow me? You coming? Yeah, I’ll be up in a minute. I have a note for all of us from epiphany. I have to imagine some nice things were said about me today, and tears were probably shed, which I can appreciate, of course. But you know that’s not how I lived my life, even in the darkest of times. I held on to the joy whenever I could, so be sad if you need to be. Safe travels, my worthy adversary. But I would much rather go out with a bang.

[Explosions] No way! Oh, my god. Leave it to epiphany. It’s beautiful. Go out with a bang, you did. Um, boss? Yeah? Correct me if I’m wrong, but these fireworks are-highly illegal, yes. I couldn’t hear that. The fireworks were so loud.

[Laughter] Monica? Am I disturbing the memorial? No, no, no. It just ended. Are you all right? Ugh, I’m fine. I’m just terribly disappointed I couldn’t be at epiphany’s memorial. If I hadn’t been the keynote speaker, I would have backed out. Well, epiphany of all people would appreciate you keeping your commitment. I imagine she would, which brings me to why I’m calling. Diane miller paid me a visit just before I left, and she dropped off a sealed letter that was written by epiphany a few days ago-one she intended to hand-deliver to the review board on your behalf. So she did write a letter of support? I just finished reading it, and i had to share it with you. “Elizabeth baldwin is an extremely talented and dedicated nurse. And watching her grow from a rookie to the leader amongst her peers has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Her commitment to healing knows no bounds. And part of that commitment requires making snap judgments in the moment, assessing tricky situations, and deciding in real time how best to handle them. I believe that’s what elizabeth was doing when she made the choice to treat esme prince while in captivity. Was that choice the right one? Ultimately, no, as is often the case with snap decisions like that. But the thing that separates the good healers from the great ones is accountability. Elizabeth didn’t run from her responsibility. She ran towards it, which makes her the best of us. In fact, it had always been my intention to recommend she be named head nurse when I depart for medical school this fall. I stand by that recommendation now more than ever. Elizabeth has always made me proud, and she’ll make general hospital proud, too.” Elizabeth? Are you still there? Yeah, I’m still here. Well, that’s quite a recommendation, if you ask me. And who am I to deny epiphany’s last wish? Wait, are you saying that-I plan to present the idea to the board at the end of the month. Having another hardy-slash-march from the 10th floor sounds right, don’t you think? Thank you, monica. Thank you. Don’t thank me. Thank epiphany. You take care, elizabeth. Thank you, epiphany. For everything. I love you. You’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore I know you think there’s no way out like you’ve been living in the dark but you don’t have to feel alone I know you’re reaching up for the sky and you keep searching for that but you don’t have to search anymore we’ll be the hands to hold you up we’ll be the eyes to help you see we are here we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you know who I am? My patient.

[Laughs] Magic milo, you disappoint me. Gotta leave something to the imagination.

[Chuckles] Oh, I’ll be imagining. Are you asking me out on a date? Are we going to sing karaoke on that date? No. I have a boyfriend. Good ones do. And he’s not too hard on the eyes either. Don’t you mess with the nurse’s ball. You wouldn’T. Wouldn’t I? Did I or did I not assign you to bedpan duty? Yeah, but-but what? No running. Jason was someone I respected. He respected you, too. I never doubted that.

[Laughter] I’d go a long way to protect the people that I love, and you, my sweet, are on that list. We are here, we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore

Daniel: You know, I’m glad things have finally taken a turn for the better between you and devon.

Lily: Yeah, me too. And thank you for being so supportive through the lawsuit. I know it was a lot.

[ Chuckles ]

Daniel: That’s what friends are for.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] And I promise I will share all of the details of what happened. I just — I really want to enjoy this moment right now.

Daniel: I’m all for that.

Lily: I don’t know. I finally feel like everything is not falling apart anymore. You know? I finally feel…like, hopeful.

Summer: It’s just you and me right now. Tell me what was really going on in there.

Phyllis: Isn’t that clear? Diane was trying to kill me. It’s not obvious to you?!

Summer: I’m just trying to understand what led up to that. Like, why have you been acting so weird tonight? One minute you’re giving me this speech about how proud you are of me…

Phyllis: What? That’s weird to you, that I’m proud of my daughter?

Summer: Well, the next thing I know, you’re in some secret hotel room fighting with diane. I — I’m just trying to figure out why the two of you were in there to begin with.

Phyllis: I have worked so hard.

[ Laughs ] I’ve worked so hard. Oh, god. I’m working so hard to convince everybody who diane really is and no one’s believed me and I’ve lost everything. I’ve lost everything. I’ve lost my children. I’ve lost my job. I’ve lost everything. I-I — I’m tired. I’m so tired.

Summer: Okay.

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Summer: That doesn’t explain why you were in there with her.

Phyllis: I wanted to work things out with her. Oh, summer, I wanted to work things out with her. I saw her walking upstairs. I wanted to pull her in to a suite so we could talk. And look at you, looking at me with suspicion. That breaks my heart. But I have wanted to work things out with diane because I saw how crazy it’s gotten. I wanted to clean the slate with her, that’s all.

Summer: So, what went wrong?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It was her. She has this power, this false power now, you know, that she’s living at the abbott mansion and she’s close to my daughter and she’s the one who can’t stand that I know who she really is.

She’s the one who has hatred with me!

Summer: Mom, stop! (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Summer: I can’t listen to this again. It is the same story over and over. It’s like you think if you tell it enough times that it’ll become true, but — I want to believe you. I wish that I could.

Phyllis: You never will. You’ll never believe me.

Summer: Mom, wait.

Phyllis: No. You stay away from me. Okay?

Jack: Are you alright? At least physically?

Diane: I-I-I think so.

Jack: What the hell did we just walk in on?

Diane: Phyllis tricked me into coming up here. She said that kyle was — was really sick a-and that he was asking for me and then when i got in here, she just kind of attacked me in some sort of fit of rage.

Kyle: What would make phyllis go off like that?

Diane: I mean, who knows? She’s psychotic. My mere presence sets her off.

Jack: Okay, whatever happened, it was clearly traumatic, and we have to deal with this situation. First of all, I don’t think we should announce our engagement tonight.

Diane: No. No, phyllis is not going to take this from me. She is not going to ruin tonight. Jack — jack, I’m — I’m fine. I’m — I’m better than fine. I’m — I’m fantastic. So, just, um — just let me fix myself up and then I’ll meet you downstairs and we can announce our love to the world. Okay?

Audra: Excuse me. Oh. Uh, excuse me? Okay. Uh, hello? Hi. Um, could I — okay.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] Um… hmm.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Abby: You alright?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I am.

Abby: What’s going on? Are you having second thoughts about dropping the lawsuit?

Devon: No. No, not at all. It was the right thing to do. I’m just overwhelmed by this whole night, really. In a good way.

Abby: I understand.

Devon: Yeah. I was thinking about taking off, though, and heading home.

Abby: Oh. Well, I’ll go with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I know you like parties like this.

Abby: Yeah, but I would rather be with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: And besides, I want to hear what brought on this truce between you and lily — if you want to talk about it.

Kyle: That was…

Jack: I know. I know.

Kyle: Look, phyllis is always the one stirring up trouble, but mom was out for blood.

Jack: Yeah, that’s why i wanted to call it a night. What we just saw is a version of diane I thought was long gone. It’s unsettling.

Kyle: Look, are you having second thoughts about the engagement?

Jack: I don’t know what i think. Look, I love your mother. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but I worry this is all going too quickly and the stress is too much for her.

Kyle: Yeah, she was definitely enraged. Look, on the other hand, if phyllis used my son as some kind of ploy to get me alone, I would flip, too, especially if i thought harrison was sick or in trouble. Look, mom was rushing to that suite because she was worried about me. Her adrenaline was pumping, and phyllis ambushed her. That’s enough to send anyone over the edge.

Jack: Right. Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy

Devon: Just seeing this jazz club being dedicated to neil is what changed everything for me. And you did that. You have no idea how much it meant to me and lily. It’s what’s reunited us more than anything else. So, thank you.

Abby: Well, it was a very tough secret to keep, but knowing that it brought you and lily together…

Devon: It means everything.

You mean everything.

Nick: So, how are you feeling?

Sally: Uh, fine. Yep. Great.

Nick: Yeah?

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Because you are clutching that mask like it’s some kind of shield.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Any chance the shield will fend off these questions?

Nick: Nah. No way. Talk to me.

Sharon: Here you go.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Sharon: I haven’t had this much fun in a while.

Adam: Yeah, it’s a great party.

Sharon: Yeah?

Adam: No.

Sharon: You know, you’re gonna to have to get used to looking at nick and sally. But it can’t be that bad. You’re holding a glass of champagne in your hand and you have a very pretty date — moi.

[ Both chuckle ]

Adam: I know. Thank you for coming, sharon. You know, I’m grateful that you accepted. I’m lucky to know you. I-I — to have you in my life for as long as I have, even when I have made some decisions that make me a difficult man to know.

Sharon: What is going on in that mind of yours now?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, what you’re hearing is the sound of crashing of waves and waves of regret.

Sharon: For what?

Adam: For being a jackass for most of my life. For putting myself in a position where people that I care about can’t stand me. Except you. For some reason, you still put up with me. Why?

Diane: Okay, I’ve pulled myself together and I’m ready to enjoy the rest of the evening with my favorite fellas. So, let’s get this train back on the tracks.

[ Sighs ] Look, I — I know that that was ugly upstairs, and I do apologize, but I am just — I’m ready to move forward.

[ Sighs ] I see you’re not.

Kyle: I’m relieved you and phyllis walked away unscathed, but we still aren’t really clear what led to the fight

Diane: Kyle, I texted you to see if you were okay before i went up there. And then the fact that you didn’t answer made me think that what phyllis had said was actually true.

Kyle: What? You texted me?

Diane: Yes.

Kyle: I didn’t get a text.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: What?

Kyle: I lost my phone. Again.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Audra: Uh, sorry for the interruption. Hi. Um… yeah, so, uh, you know, I — you know, I — I was wondering if you know who this phone belongs to because it keeps ringing and the bartender is too swamped to try and find its owner.

Ashley: Audra charles, right? Ashley abbott. But then I’m sure you already know that. This is kind of fun. Isn’t it, tucker? I finally get to meet your co-conspirator.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] I do indeed know quite a bit about you.

Ashley: I’m sure you do. And still, that’s not even half of it.

Tucker: Uh, I don’t know whose phone that is. Do you, ashley?

Audra: Fair enough. I will continue my rounds as a good samaritan.

Ashley: Actually, that is my nephew kyle’s phone.

Audra: Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks. Um, I will get it to him. I’ve actually been looking for a reason to make kyle abbott’s acquaintance.

Ashley: Huh. Bye. Gee, I don’t know why, tucker, but I just — I just don’t trust her.

Traci: Oh, you look fabulous!

Michael: Ah!

Lauren: Okay, my turn!

Gina: You do, too, sweetheart.

Lauren: My turn, my turn, my turn! Oh, I’m so glad you came for this. And had I known, I would have — hi, darling — I would have had you cater the entire event.

Gina: Can you believe it? I’ve been here 30 seconds and she wants to put me to work already.

Lauren: Of course.

[ Laughs ]

And that’s because the last time I was in los angeles, I ate at your restaurant.

[ Gasps ] The food was to die for.

Gina: Okay, well, then that settles it. The next reunion is gonna be at my place out west.

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Ooh!

Lauren: Yes, yes! [ Laughs ]

Gina: I’m just glad that we both could be here for this.

Danny: Yeah. Whenever the opportunity to get the old band back together comes a-knockin’, guess what. I answer the door!

Leanna: Did genoa city’s homegrown rock star just hint at a reunion tour?

Michael: Oh. Leanna. Is eavesdropping what counts for journalism these days?

Leanna: Well, keeping my ear to the ground is definitely part of it. Care to comment on the rumors?

Danny: Uh…I would not.

Leanna: You know, I-I hate to bring this conversation to a screeching halt, but could somebody tell me what’s going on between my nephew and lily winters? I can see the sparks from here.

Daniel: You know, you were never gonna lose everything. At least, not me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] You have no idea how comforting it is to know that you always have my back.

Daniel: You always have mine. You helped bring me back from one of the darkest points in my life.

Lily: Well, I am thankful that we’ve been able to be there for each other.

Daniel: You know, you are one of the strongest and most vibrant people I have ever known. I don’t think I ever want to live a life in which you’re not a part of it. My advice, in this one very specific case

Danny: Hi, bud.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: Dad. Hey!

Danny: Hey.

Daniel: Hey!

Lily: Hi.

Danny: Hi.

Lily: Welcome home.

Danny: Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

Daniel: Are you cutting in?

Danny: Oh, uh, well, kind of. Can I borrow my son for a second?

Lily: Uh, yes, of course. I will get some champagne.

Daniel: Thank you.

Sharon: I put up with you because it’s easier now that there are no lingering feelings and no expectations or disappointments. We’re just free to enjoy our friendship with one another. Having a child with someone is, um, a lot different. It’s very, very complicated. You end up having to rely on each other in a lot of different ways, and I know you ran into some difficulties in co-parenting with chelsea.

Adam: Yeah. Especially recently. I mean, before her incident.

Sharon: But you overcame those difficulties because of your mutual love for connor, and I think that that will extend to your respect and care for each other.

Adam: It, uh — it did. It does for chelsea, but that doesn’t mean the same thing’s gonna happen with me and sally.

Sally: Well, once your baby’s born, I think your connection will get stronger because you have your child’s best interests at heart. You’ll share that in common. At least, that’s what’s happened in my experience.

Adam: Well, I hope you are right. But I’m not sure that anything’s gonna change for sally.

Sally: Okay, so, I almost feel like a part of genoa city, but then I’m here like this.

Nick: Yeah. Gorgeous. I get it. It is quite a burden.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] No, the baby bump. I feel like everyone is staring, and I can’t have a drink. And to be completely honest with you, I am absolutely starving.

Nick: Then let’s get out of here, go grab a cheeseburger.

Sally: Okay, you’ve never been hotter.

[ Both laugh ] But I don’t think there’s any way we can sneak out of here without anyone noticing, so i will stick it out a little bit longer. But just so you know, I am gonna be thinking about that cheeseburger the whole time.

Audra: Excuse me? Uh, kyle abbott? I found this on the bar. Your aunt told me it was yours.

Kyle: I just realized I had lost it. Thank you…?

Audra: Audra charles.

Kyle: Nice to meet you.

Audra: Likewise.

Summer: Hi. What’s going on here?

Kyle: Uh, this is audra. She found my phone.

Summer: Yeah, I know who she is. You’re the woman who emotionally destroyed my brother.

Audra: [ Stammers ] Noah and I, um… it was a complicated situation.

Summer: Thanks for the phone.

Kyle: Uh… [ Sighs ] I did get your text.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: I’m sorry I doubted you.

Diane: Tensions were high. I — I understand.

Jack: I owe you an apology, too. You walked right into phyllis’s lion’s den thinking you were protecting kyle. And I let my fear lead me to doubt your intentions. And I’m — I’m sorry. And it won’t happen again.

Daniel: It’s okay.

Jack: If you can find it in yourself to forgive me, I’d like to announce our engagement tonight.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] No forgiveness necessary.

Jack: Excuse me, everyone. Could I have your attention, please? Could you all find your way to the lounge? I have some fun news I want to share with you.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Jack: I can’t find the ring.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Compliments on your little scuffle with diane. From what I heard, it was a masterful performance.

[ Door closes ]

Phyllis: Did you hold up your end of the bargain?

Jeremy: You know, growing up in the streets of cleveland, you learn a lot of tricks. And pickpocketing is just the tip of the iceberg.

Phyllis: You’re an artful dodger, right?

Jeremy: Whew. It is a beauty, isn’t it? Huh.

Phyllis: Yeah, it is beautiful.

[ Scoffs ] It’s stunning.

Jeremy: You okay?

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m fine.

Jeremy: Good. Now comes the hardest but most important part. Are you ready?

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m ready. There’s no turning back now. Hey, man. You could save hundreds

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Music

Jack: We’ll be right there.

Diane: You can’t find the ring?

Jack: I put it in this pocket. It’s not there anymore.

Diane: Well, it must have fallen out. Maybe we can retrace your steps.

Traci: Hey! So, is this it, the big announcement?

Jack: Gina romalotti.

Gina: Ohh!

Jack: So good to see you!

Gina: As handsome and as debonair as ever.

Diane: Mm. Well, unfortunately for women everywhere, he’s officially about to be off the market.

Gina: Oh, so, this is that kind of an announcement? Oh, I see. Well, you’re finally gonna finish what you started all those years ago at gina’s place.

[ Both laugh ]

Diane: You know, we had so many amazing moments there, it’s really fitting that you’re here to share it with us.

Gina: Well, I’m — I’m honored.

Jack: You know, the plan was to make the announcement, but I —

Traci: No, no, no, no, no! No “buts,” no “buts.” I’m just so proud of you for — for accepting growth and change and finding love again. And you have come so far. In a world that mostly favors darkness, the two of you have found a ray of sunshine in each other.

Gina: Love wins. And let nothing stand in its way. You understand?

Traci: [ Laughs ] Come on. Let’s get on with it.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Yeah, why are we worried about a ring? It’ll show up. If it doesn’t, I’ll get you another one.

Diane: Well, I’m sure it was really expensive.

Jack: The ring is a symbol. What we have is what matters. I just promised the whole town a big announcement. I’d like to come through for them.

Diane: Gosh, I love you.

Jack: Oh, good.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: ‘Cause I love you.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Come on.

Diane: Let’s do it.

Chelsea: I’m still trying to figure out my impulses, you know, both good and bad, how I react to things. It takes me a minute to even know how I’m feeling.

Billy: You know, I could tell that you were struggling. I just didn’t know exactly what was going on in your head.

Chelsea: Yeah, you and me both.

[ Sighs ] You know, it’s not like it’s all mental, either. It becomes physical. Like, in that room, I could feel my cheeks burning and my — my shoulders got really tense.

[ Sighs ] I just saw a lot of voices and i saw a lot of faces and I didn’t know who to look at or who to listen to. And then it all becomes very ungrounding. I go into fight-or-flight mode. Not like I would physically fight, you know? I’m just saying, I…

[ Breathes deeply ] Tonight, flight won.

Billy: I get it. Look, at least we know now that this is a thing for you. And we can be prepared for it the next time. You know, the positive is we don’t go to a gala every day of our lives. So, there’s that.

Chelsea: Isn’t it a requirement of living in genoa city?

Billy: From now on, you got a get-out-of-gala free card.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Look, chels, you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. And if there is something that you want to do and the fear and the anxiety starts to rise, well, then we acknowledge it and we figure it out together.

Chelsea: You are not the man I knew even five years ago.

Billy: I hope that’s a good thing.

Chelsea: It’s a good thing.

Billy: Well, you’re not the woman I met all those years ago, either.

Chelsea: That’s definitely a good thing.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m really glad that we get the chance to get to know each other all over again, as the people we are now.

Daniel: What? What is that look on your face? You know what? Never mind. I-I already know. I’ve seen it before.

Danny: Look, I am worried about what’s going on with you and lily, okay?

Daniel: Well, I love you, dad, but I didn’t ask for your advice.

Danny: Well, unfortunately, it’s part of my fatherly duty to give it.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Danny: Look, you told both your mother and me that you were going through a rough patch. Ending things with heather was hard. And I know you and lily have been close for a long time. It’s sometimes easy to find comfort in a reliable place. But let me tell you something. The fallout isn’t worth the aftermath.

Daniel: Says the rock star.

Danny: Exactly.

Daniel: Well, this is different.

Danny: Look, I’m just telling you — why don’t you put all your energy into yourself? You know, your goals, your dreams, the video game, the music we’re working on together. And if things are meant to go deeper with lily, you’ll have this foundation based on friendship, alright? But first, you’ve got to work on your own foundation. Do you understand? Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo.

Daniel: Listen, I appreciate your input when it comes to lily. I know it’s coming from the right place, but when it comes to my personal life, I got to make my own decisions.

Danny: Fair enough. I’ve said my piece. I will butt out now. Hey, what do I know anyway? I’m just, you know, your old man, right?

Daniel: Well, thank you. Thank you for butting out. It’d be a shame if I had to avoid both my parents.

Danny: I know that phyllis can be overbearing at times.

Gina: Now, that’s an understatement.

Daniel: Oh, my god. Hi! Hi.

Gina: You see, he’s realized that the best way to handle phyllis is with total avoidance. He is so wise, daniel.

Danny: Okay, one last piece of advice from the wisest of the romalottis — that would be me.

Gina: Oh, yeah.

Daniel: Okay.

Danny: Life is too short for grudges, especially against people we love and people who love us back. You understand?

Daniel: I spoke with her earlier. She did seem different.

Danny: I’m sure she’s feeling pretty lost right now, being on the outs with both you and summer. I just really hope you can find a way to get past this because at some point you’re gonna have to accept her for the way she is, the same way that you want to be accepted.

Daniel: Okay, I will talk to her. I will sit down, and we will figure this all out, just not tonight. But soon, okay?

Danny: That’s all I ask.

Gina: Okay, now that we’re done with this conversation, how about me? I want to talk about daniel…

Daniel: You want to talk —

Gina: …And lucy.

Daniel: Oh!

Gina: And I want some photographs.

Daniel: Oh, well, we’ve got photographs.

Gina: Let me see.

Daniel: I mean, photographs? You came to the right place for photographs.

Gina: It’s about time.

Daniel: Yeah.

Devon: Are you sure you don’t want to stick around for jack’s announcement?

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. I’m sure I’ll hear about it soon. I am related to pretty much everyone in that room, and word travels fast around here.

Amanda: It certainly does.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Victor: What the hell is this all about?

Nikki: Oh, who knows. Looks like diane is trying to play the part of the first lady.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Thank you all for giving me a couple of minutes of your time. First, I want you to join me in thanking my sister, traci abbott, nikki newman, lauren fenmore-baldwin, and michael baldwin for putting together this spectacular event.

[ Cheers and applause ] Who says the people of this town can’t work together, especially when it’s to create such a wonderful moment, a celebration of the place we all call home? Genoa city is where my parents chose to live their lives, where I have lived my entire life, where I raised my son kyle. And I could not be happier that kyle and his beautiful wife, summer, have chosen to raise their son, harrison, here as well. It is my dearest hope that my grandson will learn to cherish family and community, as generations of abbotts have before him.

[ Applause ] Now, let me be clear. Just as with all families, with all communities, it hasn’t always been simple. It hasn’t always been easy. We have definitely had our ups and downs, both as collaborators and competitors, as friend and foe. But make no mistake. The people of genoa city have more in common than they don’T. We all share the same blood. We all manage wisconsin winters.

[ Laughter ] We all have the same distinctly midwest value for hard work and kindness. We share a humanity, same loves and losses, the same heartache and hope. And we choose to live in this town together. And I am forever grateful for that.

[ Applause ] The people of genoa city know that in this town, you can grow, you can change, you can transform despite your mistakes, your flaws, your foibles. We all know we have the opportunity to live our very best lives. Every day I see the very best in the woman standing next to me. I know some of you don’t see what I do, but perhaps everyone is not meant to. But I know from the life I have lived, happiness can be elusive. When you find it, grab it and don’t let go. That is what I have done. That is what we have done. We have chosen happiness. We have chosen love. And we have chosen this evening to share our great news with you because we know, perhaps better than most, there’s nothing this town loves more than gossip.

[ Laughter ] So we are happy to provide it. Consider it a party favor. I am in love with diane jenkins. I have asked her to marry me.

[ Crowd gasping ] And she said yes.

[ Applause ] Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Chelsea: Well, I think i turned into a pumpkin an hour ago. I’m gonna head upstairs. Here you go.

Billy: Thank you. Well…sweet dreams.

Chelsea: Good night.

Billy: Chels, one more thing, just in case. Did I forget to tell you that you look beautiful?

Chelsea: I think you did.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You look beautiful.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] Wow. It was even better the second time.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nick: You okay?

Sally: Yeah. It’s just, seeing someone so certain. That’s real love.

Victor: Just amazing, you know? To watch jack abbott commit one mistake after the other. It won’t be long because he and diane jenkins will blow up in some spectacular fashion. I promise you.

Nikki: Well, apparently i spent months putting this event together as an opportunity for them to steal the show.

Victor: Ohh. Well, and kind of funny, i think it is.

Nikki: Yeah. Ha ha.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ashley: I think I’m gonna be sick to my stomach.

Tucker: Well, let’s get the hell out of here then.

Ashley: Oh, my god. You’re so right. Let’s go.

Tucker: Yeah.

Phyllis: Whoo! Yes! Yes!

[ Chuckles ] Let’s hear it for love! Whoo! Come on! Come on! Come on! Love! It’s me! Hi! Hey!

[ Sighs ] Well, let’s hear it for the future mr. And mrs. Jack abbott. Come on!

[ Applause ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No!

Ridge: No.

Bill: Sheila!

Ridge: She’s just fell off the balcony.

Chen: Agent Venice, subject down. Repeat, subject down.

Ridge: You have eyes on her? What just happened?


Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is this– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Hope: Hello, hello, hello.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Got time to spend with your favorite daughter?

Deacon: What, are you kidding me? It’s what I live for. Get over here. Hi.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah. Why? What’s up?

Hope: I don’t know. I just feel like there’s maybe something more going on with you, Dad. Are you going to tell me what that is?


Hope: If something’s wrong, I’d like to know. Maybe I could help.

Deacon: What makes you think something’s wrong?

Hope: Well, Dad, come on. You’ve been pretty distracted and intense lately. I sometimes catch you brooding in that corner while you think no one’s watching.

Deacon: You know, running a restaurant’s a lot. I’m still learning. I’m making mistakes along the way. Just takes up a lot of real estate in the old brain.

Hope: Yeah?

Deacon: Yeah. I don’t want you worrying about me. I’ll get my sea legs, you know, feel in control of things soon enough.


Deacon: I don’t want my daughter worrying about me. Come on, what about you? You have got to be thrilled that Douglas is finally moving back home.

Hope: Well, yes, I am over the moon because it felt like a piece of my heart was missing the entire time he was gone. Makes me very worried about what I’m actually going to be like when they grow up and move out of the house.

Deacon: Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that for a while.

Hope: I know. He was only gone at Steffy’s for a few weeks and it feels like he came back three inches taller. Like, I feel like I missed so much.

Deacon: I know the feeling. My unsolicited advice, don’t dwell on the past. Look, your boy’s home right now. It’s kind of like martial arts. Just focus on what’s right in front of you. You know, that way you don’t miss anything else.

Hope: Oh, look at you. So wise and knowledgeable.

Deacon: Well, listen, you know, it was bound to happen sooner or later along this journey, right? Kicking and screaming most of the time, but still. I am kind of curious though. I mean, was there something specific that happened that– that led Douglas to want to come back home finally?

Hope: Yeah, actually. It was seeing Thomas and me getting along. Working well together and Douglas is a very perceptive young man and he picked up on that tension between Thomas and me regarding his custody and that’s why he chose to go live with Steffy instead of either of us. But we are in a good place now.

Deacon: And you think that’ll hold?

Hope: Yes, we function well when we’re working together and right now, we have a very full plate.

Deacon: Look, hey, I said it before. All right, I mean, I’m no angel. I think we both know that, I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite, but I’m your dad. I gotta ask, I mean, are you sure that Darth Thomas will keep himself from going to the dark side again and becoming completely obsessed with you like he did more than once?

Hope: Dad, he is in a better place now.

Deacon: You really believe that, huh?

Hope: Yes, because for once he’s actually backing it up with action instead of just words. And besides, I have made my position very, very clear. One backslide and he’s out of there and you know, whatever happens to my line happens. Dad, I am going to need you to trust me.

Deacon: I do trust you. I do trust you. All right, but I’m your dad. All right. It’s my job. I’m always gonna worry about you, but I want you to remember something, all right? You are Hope Freaking Logan and half of you is a Sharpe. You created this brand. If the worst should happen, you could build it again and you could do it without Thomas, so I need you to promise me something.

Hope: What’s that?

Deacon: The first sign of any inappropriate behavior by Thomas, you kick his ass to the curb. That way, I won’t have to.

Hope: Dad, I already promised Liam the same thing, so I have no problem promising that to you.

Deacon: Good, so what does everyone’s favorite vegan have to say about you and Thomas working together?

Hope: Well, he’s not thrilled to say the least.

Deacon: But, you know, I can understand that. But, you know, Hope, you’re– you’re an adult. You’re a grown woman. You know, you make your own decisions and choices. I mean, and all we can do is support you and, you know, hope they work out.

Hope: Thank you, dad. I– I appreciate that.

Deacon: I just hope that you working with Thomas doesn’t cause problems for your marriage.

Hope: Liam and I won’t let it. Nothing is more important than our family. And as for Hope For The Future, do I want it to succeed? You bet. I’ve spent too many years of my life pouring everything that I have into it.

Deacon: All right, then I guess all we can do is wish you all the luck in the world.

Hope: Thank you, Dad.

Deacon: Just be careful with that guy. All right. Look, I know– I know you trust him, but I ain’t there. Not even close.

Hope: Dad, you don’t need to worry about Thomas. Besides, not when we have someone like Sheila Carter still on the loose.


Bill: Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone?

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hey, what happened? Is she dead?

Bill: I thought she might be. I ran down to the lawn, she was gone.

Ridge: She’s gone?

Bill: Gone. She took the car, she’s gone. I’m gonna call you back.

Bill: I love you, Sheila. I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve.


Sheila: They were just lies. All lies. I’ve been so stupid.

Bill: Open up, you need to share with me. Tell each other everything, everything, everything.

Sheila: No!


Hope: I mean, I still can’t even believe that Bill and Sheila are together. That Bill is blackmailing Steffy and Finn, bribing a judge just so Sheila can be out of prison.

Deacon: Bill is full of surprises. You gotta give him that.

Hope: Yeah, well, you know, I see her sometimes. Sheila waltzing around Beverly Hills as if she’s entitled to some normal life. I mean, think about it, Dad. I mean, what if that isn’t even enough for her? What if she wants more? What if she wants that family? What if she goes after Steffy and Finn again? Tries something with Hayes?

Deacon: Honey, I think we have to just take the Sheila situation one step at a time.

Hope: Dad, there shouldn’t even be a Sheila situation. She should be behind bars, not living the high life with dollar Bill, having him protect her.

Deacon: You know, sweetheart, life is funny. It eventually works itself out.

Hope: What do you mean?

Deacon: I don’t think we have to worry about Sheila any longer.

Hope: Okay, uh, how can you even say that?


Chen: Thank you, Chief Baker. We will.

Ridge: How the hell did this happen?

Chen: Local authorities on full alert. Have description of vehicle and subject. I want updates on the fives.

Ridge: Right, Bill’s on the road too. We had her! We had a confession and once again, Sheila’s gone.


Sheila: A Dr. Jay Garvin, he was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me. Let go of me.

Jay: No, get a hold of–

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay screaming ]

Sheila: He fell over the balcony and he died.

Bill: Fell. Let a jury decide.


Sheila: There was Lance Day, and he threatened me too.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I sent bees…

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: …Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me! Help me!

Sheila: …And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe.

Sheila: And uh, I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he– he pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me. Help me please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: So, this Lance, you intentionally killed him?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: Say it again.


Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list. It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out to the only man who truly understood you. You confessed, Sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices everywhere. Why don’t you give your best smile and wave to Ridge and Agent Chen from the FBI. It was all an act with the FBI watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re gonna cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life!

Sheila: Oh, no. You are wrong, Bill. I am never gonna see the inside of a prison again, you bastard.


Hope: How can you say that Sheila is no longer a threat? I mean, Dad, as long as Sheila is breathing air, she’s a danger to the people around her, especially the ones that she claims to love.

Deacon: I think–

[ Phone chiming ]

Deacon: Hang on. Honey, I’m gonna have to cut this short. Something came up, I… hey, Hope. I love you and I’m so proud of you. I just hope that I always give you reason to be proud of me too. Come here.

Hope: Well, I love you too, Dad.


Bill: Got something for me?

Ridge: No. Feds, LAPD, they’re canvassing the area. What about you?

Bill: Still working against that head start? We both know where she’s going. She won’t get away. Not this time.


Deacon: What’s wrong?

Sheila: Everything. I can’t believe I fell for it. This whole time, it’s been a lie.

Deacon: What are you talking about? What happened?

Sheila: I went back to Bill’s and I accepted his proposal. And here, I thought that I was gonna be starting this wonderful new future and life as– as Mrs. Bill Spencer.

Deacon: That was the plan.

Sheila: I know. He– he said that I needed to open up to him. That there were secrets that I had, things in my past that I was ashamed of and he wanted openness and honesty. What a joke that was.

Deacon: Wait a second, did– did you tell him something that you shouldn’t have? Is that what this is about?

Sheila: Yes. Things that I’m not proud of, but I had no choice. I had to survive.

Deacon: Survive how?

Sheila: There was a Dr. Jay Garvin and– and a kid named Lance Day.

Deacon: Okay, okay. What about ’em?

Sheila: Garvin and I, we were in an argument and he died. He fell over a balcony. I swear. I swear that was an accident.

Deacon: Okay. What about the other guy? Sheila, what are you telling me? What, you meant to kill him?

Sheila: I had to.

Deacon: And you said that Spencer? You– you confessed to murder?

Sheila: I know, I know. It was stupid, but we– we just got engaged and I– I really, I wanted to be honest and– and open with him and have him love me anyways. Is there something really so wrong with that?

Deacon: No, no, of course not. How did he react?

Sheila: He left the room. It was really odd. I just– he’s been acting so strange lately and– and it was like a alarm went off for me and finally, I went looking for him and then there he was, he was– he was on the phone telling them that they– they got me.

Deacon: Who’s they?

Sheila: Ridge.

Deacon: Forrester?

Sheila: Yes, and the feds.

Deacon: The feds?

Sheila: This whole thing has been a setup. He has been playing me this whole time. He had cameras everywhere, rooms bugged. Everything that I said and I did, they were monitoring me. Bill never loved me. He never wanted to be with me. Oh, no, he made it perfectly clear that he hates me. He wants to see me spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, you’ve got to help me. Deacon, I want you to come with me, okay? We can escape, we can be together. Just say yes. Will you just say– say that you’re gonna run away with me? Please? I love you, you know that.

Recap written by Eva

This is a special episode dedicated to saying farewell to Epiphany Johnson whose portrayer Sonya Eddy died suddenly in December due to complications from surgery.

A woman arrives at the hospital chapel and tells Elizabeth and Finn that she is a nurse who was driving home from work and she hit a light pole which made her car catch fire. The woman explains that she was able to get out of the car and that is when she saw Epiphany. The nurse helped treat her injuries and stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. The woman explains that when she awakened at the hospital, she was told by the staff that Epiphany collapsed at the accident and died due to smoke inhalation affecting her pre-existing heart condition.

Epiphany’s friends gather at the hospital chapel for a celebration of her life. Anna’s grand-daughter Emma Drake returns to go to the memorial service and stops by the safe house to see Anna and explains to Anna that since her parents Noah and Robin couldn’t come to the service, she would come and attend the memorial service.

Everyone gathered at the hospital chapel shares memories of Epiphany, and the audience sees clips of Epiphany in scenes with each friend who is sharing a memory.

Diane, who is the executor of Epiphany’s will, tells Liesl that Epiphany wanted her to do something special for her memorial service. Once the memorial service was finished, Diane asks everyone to head over to the roof. Diane reads a note from Epiphany telling one to cry if they must but she would much rather go out with a bang. Liesl lights the fuse that starts the beautiful fireworks show.

Elizabeth gets a a call from Monica who was unable to be at the service because she was the keynote speaker at a medical conference. Monica tells Elizabeth that Diane brought her the letter Epiphany wrote for the ethics committee. In the letter Epiphany wrote that Elizabeth was a great nurse who cares deeply for people who need help and sometimes that can lead to making the wrong choice for the right reason. Epiphany continues her letter by saying that Elizabeth always takes responsibility for her actions and that is why she was going to recommend her for the head nurse position before she left for medical school at John’s Hopkins in the fall.

Monica tells Elizabeth that she intends to honor Epiphany’s last wish and recommend to the board that she be made head nurse. The audience hears Epiphany singing the song You’re Not Alone Anymore as the audience sees clips of her before the show ends with a picture of her and a moment of silence.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel questions Paulina about Sloan trashing her office and says she thought this nightmare was finally over. Chanel asks how they are ever supposed to be safe with Sloan continuing to come after them. Chanel asks if the police are going to take care of Sloan. Paulina responds that they better because if they don’t, she will.

Eric asks Rafe what has happened. Rafe says it doesn’t concern him. Sloan asks what it does concern. Jada says they will fill her in at the station. Sloan refuses to go anywhere unless they tell her what they are bringing her in for. Rafe informs Sloan that she has been accused by Paulina of breaking her in to her office and trashing the place. Sloan laughs off the idea of vandalism. Rafe asks if Sloan will come quietly or if they will have to arrest her here in her boyfriend’s restaurant.

EJ tells Li that he can’t be totally shocked that his wife is being unfaithful. Li asks why he’s so sure that Gabi and Stefan are together. EJ calls it the truth that Gabi is making a cuckold of him. Li asks if EJ has proof that Gabi lied about her business dinner with Nicole. EJ hands Li a keycard to the Salem Inn and instructs him to go to room 312 where he will find his wife in his brother’s bed.

Gabi and Stefan kiss in the room at the Salem Inn until Stefan stops and says something doesn’t feel right. Gabi thought he wanted this as much as she does. Stefan assures that he does so Gabi questions him hesitating and what the problem is. Gabi says they are about to make love for the first time in four years and points out that EJ and Nicole made this happen for them so she questions wasting this opportunity. Gabi kisses Stefan again until Stefan stops and says they can’t because they are being set up. Gabi questions what he means. Stefan explains that EJ and Nicole didn’t do this out of the goodness of their heart, but as part of a plan. Gabi asks how he knows that. Stefan says he’s been suspicious ever since they came up with the idea. Gabi admits she was too but Nicole swore that they were just doing this to help them. Stefan questions her not finding it odd that EJ has done everything in his power to keep them apart, but now suddenly does a 180. Gabi admits it does sound odd now that she thinks about it. Stefan believes that EJ wants Li to catch them together.

EJ questions what Li is waiting for when he holds the literal key to catching Gabi and reclaiming his shares. Li responds that Gabi is his wife. EJ says that’s in name only while her heart and soul belongs to Stefan, and as they speak, her body does as well. Li questions if EJ is enjoying this. EJ claims he’s just trying to be a friend and asks where his dignity is. Li questions if it would be dignified to go catch Gabi in the act. EJ warns that if he doesn’t, Gabi will walk away from his marriage with Stefan and a considerable block of DiMera shares. EJ doesn’t think even Li would allow that to happen. Li takes the key card so EJ says he knew he would come to his senses.

Sloan calls this outrageous that Paulina used her wealth and position to cover up Chanel murdering her mother and now she’s being brought in for questioning. Rafe points out that one has nothing to do with the other. Sloan questions being accused based on Paulina’s word. Rafe says they aren’t accusing her of anything yet. Eric asks about them bringing her in for questioning. Jada says they just want to ask her a few questions on the record and not do it the hard way. Eric offers to go with Sloan but she says she can handle it herself. Sloan tells Eric that she will text him when this farce is over as she kisses him.

Nicole walks past the Brady Pub and calls EJ, leaving him a message that everything is set up and Stefan and Gabi are where they are supposed to be. Nicole notes that Gabi didn’t trust her at first but in the end it all worked out. Nicole says to let her know how it goes with Li and hangs up. Jada and Rafe then walk out of the Pub with Sloan. Nicole excitedly asks if they are arresting her. Rafe tells Nicole to stay out of it. Nicole comments that you got to love it when a lawyer needs a lawyer. Nicole questions what Sloan is being brought in for. Jada threatens Nicole about getting in the way of a police investigation. Nicole says she won’t get in the way and mocks Sloan’s hair extensions. Sloan tells Nicole to go to Hell as Jada escorts Sloan away and Rafe follows. Nicole remarks that this night just keeps getting better and better.

Chanel argues that the last thing she wants is for Paulina to get in any more trouble because of Sloan. Paulina complains that Sloan started all this by accusing Chanel of murder and trying to ruin their lives because she couldn’t face the truth. Chanel tells Paulina to just let the police deal with Sloan. Paulina says that sometimes you have to take things in to your own hands. Talia agrees with Chanel and assures that her sister Jada and Rafe will take care of Sloan. Paulina argues that she doesn’t know that. Paulina then starts having chest pains and says she needs to sit down. Chanel begins to worry as Talia notes that she doesn’t look so well. Chanel questions what is happening. Paulina responds that she thinks she’s having a heart attack. Chanel says she’s calling an ambulance but can’t find her phone. Talia checks Paulina’s pulse and notes it’s elevating. Talia asks Paulina about her symptoms. Paulina mentions having trouble breathing. Chanel worries that they need to get her to the hospital. Talia tells her to hold on. Talia asks Paulina more about her symptoms while Chanel questions what is going on. Talia wants to try something and has Paulina close her eyes and breathe. Chanel questions what she’s doing while Talia assures that she’s got this. Talia tells Chanel to try it too. Paulina admits she feels much better. Chanel asks Talia what’s going on. Talia doesn’t think Paulina was having a heart attack and suggests it was a panic attack. Paulina says she’s never had one before and questions how Talia knows about this. Chanel reveals that Talia is a doctor which she confirms. Paulina is surprised and asks why the hell Talia quit medicine to work at a bakery.

Eric calls Justin and leaves a message to call him back as soon as he can as he has a friend who needs a good attorney. Eric hangs up as Nicole enters the Pub. Eric questions if she has something to say. Nicole remarks that it’s romantic that he’s hiring a lawyer for his gal pal. Nicole asks how Eric feels about sleeping with a criminal. Eric argues that she’s not a criminal and didn’t do it. Nicole asks what it is and why their exes hauled his new bed buddy down to the station. Eric tells Nicole that it’s none of her business and remarks that if he had a problem sleeping with a criminal, he never would’ve shared his bed with Nicole because she has a rap sheet just as long as her boyfriend EJ’s.

EJ listens to Nicole’s voicemail after leaving the apartment. EJ remarks that he hopes Stefan enjoys his time with Gabi because it won’t be long before her husband arrives to catch them in the act.

Stefan tells Gabi that if Li busts in and catches them in the act, then Gabi will forfeit her DiMera shares and EJ won’t have to worry about them teaming up to take back the company. Gabi asks if he’s not being paranoid. Stefan says he wouldn’t put anything past EJ and mentions Nicole being quite a schemer back in the day. Gabi can’t believe she didn’t see through Nicole pretending to be her friend and guesses she just wanted to believe so bad that this was real. Stefan assures that they are real but Nicole and EJ are not their friends. Gabi can’t believe they would play with their lives like this and says they are going to pay. Stefan says he’s sorry as there’s nothing he wanted more than to spend the night with her in bed. Gabi suggests maybe they can have a quickie since something is better than nothing. Stefan hates to say no but says they can’t risk it because there’s too much at stake. Gabi agrees. Stefan promises they will find a way to be together. Gabi asks what they do now. Stefan responds that he has an idea.

Talia brings a latte for Chanel and a calming tea for Paulina. Paulina credits Talia for saving her life and admits she’s feeling better. Paulina hopes she doesn’t mind her prying about her career change. Talia admits it’s a radical change to jump from medicine to a bakery. Paulina calls it a substantial pay cut as well. Talia knows a lot of people would think it’s crazy but says she needed a change. Paulina wonders how her parents felt. Talia admits there was an adjustment period since her mother loved calling her a doctor but in the end, she wanted to see her happy. Paulina asks if she is happy. Talia says she mostly is. Paulina is glad that she remembered all her skills when it came to stopping her panic attack. Talia is happy to help but still wants her to follow up with her physician. Talia suggests a therapist as well since it seems she’s under a lot of stress lately. Paulina states that all her anxiety will melt away when Sloan is behind bars.

Rafe and Jada bring Sloan to the interrogation room where she denies having anything to do with the remodeling of Paulina’s tacky office. Melinda Trask walks in and questions what is going on in here. Sloan complains that Rafe and Jada are trying to railroad her for a crime she didn’t commit. Rafe states that they are just asking her a few questions. Melinda asks for a word with Rafe and exits the room. Rafe tells Jada to carry on and he’ll be right back as he exits. Melinda asks Rafe why he’s questioning a prominent defense attorney in her police station. Rafe informs her that she is a suspect in a crime because someone broke in to Paulina’s office and ransacked the place. Melinda asks what makes him suspect Sloan. Rafe points out that her animosity with Paulina is well documented. Rafe questions what the problem is. Melinda explains that Sloan has been a thorn in her side so if he sends this case to prosecute, it better be iron clad because she can’t be accused of using her office to go after a professional rival. Melinda gets a text and says she has somewhere to be. Melinda warns Rafe to not blow it this time as she then exits the station. Rafe goes back in to the interrogation room. Sloan guesses that Melinda told him to let her go. Rafe says he doesn’t take orders from the district attorney. Sloan points out that Melinda will be the one to try the flimsy case against her in court and she already humiliated her once, so she doubts that Melinda wants to go through that again. Jada asks if Sloan is all about winning or losing. Sloan asks what else is there. Jada calls it interesting that Sloan is 0 for 2 in going after Paulina and Chanel. Rafe points out that both her criminal and civil cases were thrown out, so that must have upset Sloan. Jada notes that would make her want to even the score. Sloan asks if their bad cop routine really works out for them and calls it boring. Sloan mocks that this is why criminals are running around Salem because they are in charge. Rafe asks where Sloan was last night. Sloan says she was home. Jada asks if she can verify that, because if not, it doesn’t count as an alibi. Rafe questions if Sloan was alone or if someone can vouch for the fact that she was home at the time Paulina’s office was broken in to.

Eric tells Nicole to save it as he doesn’t have the time or energy. Nicole says she doesn’t relish fighting with him, especially since he’s gotten so good at hitting below the belt. Eric responds that there’s only so much one can take before fighting back. Nicole argues that Eric used to preach turning the other cheek. Eric says that guy lost his calling, his baby, his mom, his aunt, his stepmom, and the woman he loved. Eric says after facing all that, there’s no cheek left to turn. EJ then enters the Pub and asks if he’s interrupting something.

Li goes to the Salem Inn, hoping that Gabi is not in the room. Li then enters Room 312 and finds Stefan in bed with who he believes is Gabi. Li screams at Stefan about being with another man’s wife and expresses his outrage at Gabi to come out and face him, but Li is shocked when it’s revealed to be Melinda that was in bed with Stefan! Li says he doesn’t understand while Stefan points out that he’s the one who burst in the room. Melinda asks how Li got in anyway. Li questions if the people of Salem know that Melinda is sleeping with a member of the DiMera crime family. Stefan laughs at that while Melinda says what she does off the clock is her business and he is the last person to be casting stones, since he used the DiMera’s mad scientist to brainwash a man away from his wife. Stefan adds that Li still hasn’t explained why he walked in screaming at Gabi and questions why he thought his wife would be in here. Stefan reminds Li that he’s responsible for keeping them apart. Melinda still wonders how Li got a copy of the room key and suggests looking in to that when she’s back on the clock. Melinda tells Li that until then, she’d like to get back to enjoying her evening. They question Li just standing there. Li remarks that he didn’t even know they knew each other. Melinda claims she’s had her eye on Stefan for quite some time, then they bumped in to each other and sparks flew. Melinda says a woman has needs and she’s a sucker for a powerful man. Stefan tells Li that he’s made it impossible for he and Gabi to reunite, so he figured he might as well move on. Melinda threatens to throw Li out, so he agrees to leave and then exits the room. Melinda tells Stefan that he’s welcome.

Rafe tells Sloan that they don’t have all night and questions if anyone can confirm her alibi or not. Sloan states that she was at home alone. Jada points out there’s no alibi. Sloan is sorry that she doesn’t have a witness to being in her apartment but points out that they don’t have any evidence. Sloan says there’s no fingerprints or DNA because she wasn’t there and didn’t vandalize Paulina’s office. Jada brings up Sloan vandalizing the bakery before. Sloan argues that they have no proof of her committing any crime so Rafe agrees that she’s free to go. Sloan thanks them for wasting her time. Rafe warns Sloan that if she is harassing Paulina and Chanel, it ends now as she is on their radar and they will be watching her every move. Jada adds that if Sloan even cuts off Paulina or Chanel in traffic, she will be back here. Rafe says next time, they’ll press charges. Sloan calls this harassment so they better hope there’s not a next time. Sloan warns that if they continue to use the station to harass her on behalf of Abe, then she will make it her life’s mission to make sure they can’t even work security at the Salem mall. Sloan then exits the room.

Talia tells Paulina that in her experience, once panic attacks start, they don’t usually go away on their own. Paulina talks about going through an abusive husband, giving up her first child, and any other trauma, so she can get through this. Chanel tells Paulina that she doesn’t have to act tough. Paulina assures that she’ll deal with it and she’s fine. Talia encourages her not to think she has to be strong all the time. Chanel says she will make sure that Paulina follows up even if she has to make the appointment and drive her, herself.

Eric questions if there’s a reason why EJ and Nicole keep showing up in his family’s restaurant. EJ asks if that’s any way to treat paying customers. Eric doesn’t care as sometimes the customers aren’t worth the trouble. Eric then gets a text from Sloan that she’s out and tells him to come over. Eric then says he has somewhere to be. EJ questions him not taking their order and sarcastically claims he came for clam chowder. Eric says he’ll send over one of his servers and tells them to leave a nice tip as he storms out of the Pub. EJ doesn’t think he’s sending over a server and asks Nicole what he missed. Nicole calls it nothing important and asks if he heard from Li. EJ says not yet but he thinks he’s licking his wounds after finding Stefan on top of Gabi. EJ adds that now that Li is reclaiming his shares from Gabi, she will never be a threat to his reign at DiMera again.

Li returns home to find Gabi watching TV. Gabi asks him what’s the matter as he seems surprised to see her. Gabi asks if he’s okay as he looks like he’s seen a ghost. Li says he just wasn’t expecting to see her and figured she’d still be out with Nicole. Li asks about her business dinner. Gabi says that Nicole had no intention of discussing potential fashion partnerships and that the whole thing was a setup.

Stefan thinks back to sneaking Gabi out of the room and telling her about the plan with Melinda. Stefan thanks Melinda again for doing this. Melinda calls it kind of fun and says it reminded her of being in theater in school. Melinda says anything to help bring down EJ as he deserves to suffer after helping Kristen evade justice. Stefan acknowledges that his family really does make her life more difficult. Melinda doesn’t know how he stands them. Melinda talks about his brother pretending to want to help him and Gabi be together, only to set him up. Stefan jokes that’s how the DiMeras roll. Melinda notes that Gabi is not her favorite person in the world but that’s just vile. Stefan agrees and says thanks to her, EJ was the big loser tonight. Stefan wishes he could be there when EJ realizes they got the better of him.

EJ and Nicole have dinner at the Pub. EJ toasts to Stefan and Gabi’s reunion solidifying his hold on DiMera for generations to come.

Paulina finishes a call with Rafe, angrily thanking him for nothing. Chanel asks what happened. Paulina informs her that Rafe and Jada let Sloan walk right out of the police station with no charges, so she’s free to terrorize them. Chanel urges her to stay calm so she doesn’t have another panic attack. Talia agrees and reminds Paulina to breathe. Paulina says she’s going to grab a few things in her office. Chanel offers to drive her but Paulina insists that she’s fine and has a driver. Paulina thanks Talia for all her help and tells them to have a nice evening as she walks away.

Eric goes to Sloan’s apartment and asks if she’s okay and what happened at the station. Sloan calls it a complete waste of her time and that she pointed out that they had no evidence, so they had to let her go. Eric asks if they believe she didn’t do it. Sloan thinks they still believe she’s guilty. Eric then asks if she is guilty of doing it.

Gabi informs Li that Nicole took her out, tried to act all friendly, and even said she would sneak her in to the Salem Inn for a secret rendezvous with Stefan. Gabi claims that she refused and said she was married to Li. Gabi adds that she believes Nicole is working with EJ and hoping that she would take the bait, so they could catch her cheating and rat her out to Li. Gabi claims she would not risk all his DiMera shares for some roll in the hay. Li questions if she wasn’t tempted. Gabi claims that she is his committed and faithful wife until the end of their agreed term. Gabi decides she is heading to bed and says she’ll see him in the morning.

Melinda tells Stefan that she better get going and adds that Gabi owes her one. Stefan says they both do. Melinda adds that she intends on calling it in the second they are in control of DiMera. Stefan asks what she’s looking for. Melinda suggests a seat on the board or a sizable donation to her fund in her daughter’s honor. Stefan tells her that whatever she wants is hers. Melinda warns him to be careful what he offers and jokes that she wasn’t lying when she said she had her eye on him for some time. Stefan calls that flattering but says he belongs to Gabi. Melinda hopes she knows how lucky she is. Stefan feels he’s the lucky one. Melinda brings up that Gabi is kind of a trainwreck at relationships, so if things don’t work out for them, he knows where to find her. Melinda then exits the room.

Nicole tells EJ that when Li bursts in, Stefan has to know that they set him up, so he won’t be happy with them but EJ is his brother. EJ argues that he’ll get over it and he’s willing to sacrifice their brotherly bond to make sure Gabi never gets her fingers on anything else of his. EJ asks if Nicole is going to tell him why Eric had his knickers in a twist earlier. Nicole responds that it’s no surprise but it turns out Sloan is as crooked as her clients.

Sloan questions Eric thinking she trashed Paulina’s office. Eric argues that he’s not saying she did it with her own hands but she could’ve hired someone to do it. Sloan calls him unbelievable. Eric says he’s not judging her but when he thinks about those responsible for taking away his mother, there’s no telling how much he wants them to suffer. Sloan assures Eric that she didn’t trash Paulina’s office, she didn’t pay someone to do it, and she’s innocent. Eric says he believes her and hugs her.

Jada goes over papers at her desk. Rafe suggests she go on home. Jada says she will but she was going over papers from Paulina’s file. Jada really wanted to find something to nail Sloan. Rafe says she should’ve heard Paulina on the phone when he told her they had to release Sloan. Jada encourages that they will get her next time. Rafe asks if Jada has big plans tonight. Jada jokes about going home and having leftover pizza and chicken. Rafe jokes about doing the same but with pop tarts. They say goodnight to each other as Jada then leaves the station.

Chanel thanks Talia for being so good with her mom earlier. Talia acknowledges that Paulina doesn’t like listening. Chanel says she did gain their trust. Talia is just glad Paulina is okay and notes Chanel worrying about her. Chanel says she can tell this mess with Sloan is really starting to get to Paulina, so she doesn’t know how much more she can take.

Paulina goes to her office and complains about the mess, saying only an animal would do something like this. Paulina finds an envelope that wasn’t there before. Paulina opens the envelope to find a paper with pasted on letters saying “This Isn’t Over Bitch”

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hello. How’d you like your first day as a baker? I loved it. I can’t wait to be back tomorrow. You sure about that? I know I kind of put the pressure on, but I had to see if you could handle it. and you did. Which is a major relief for me because I have been falling further and further behind since Allie left.

Well, I’ll be back tomorrow. You can count on it. Great. Well, good night. Night. Hey, can I ask you something about running a bakery? That lawyer, why does she hate you so much?

Real estate listings. Frita, you said she was looking for a place. Oh, you didn’t have to go through all this Trouble. Wasn’t any trouble. one of our uniforms. Moonlight as a realtor. Well, you still went out of your way for my sister. Well, actually I did it for you. Really? You did say that sharing a bed with your sister was killing your back and, uh, I can’t have my detectives being tired.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. . You’re standing around shooting the breeze. Why aren’t you getting Sloane Feed in off the streets.

Hey, Sloane. Hey, I’m glad I made it here before you locked. I am too. Um, I was gonna call and find out how you were doing. Oh yeah. Because, uh, Peterson versus Price and Dupre case got thrown out. Oh, you’ve been banking everything on that wrongful death. If Paul Price and her little slut daughter really think I’m through with them, they’re dreaming.

I’ll see those two bitches in hell first.

Okay. What the hell are you up to now? Welcome home dear. How was your day? I asked you a question. I had to celebrate your triumph, didn’t I? Well, you don’t have to lay it on so thick. I’m not exaggerating. You handled those Saxton people like the pro you are. They’re dying to be in the Gabby Shin business now.

I don’t blame him. Yeah, I guess I went pretty well, I would say. So. You’re on your way to starting your second fashion empire. To my beautiful, talented wife.

Ah, good. You are here. I just heard from the man I have tailing Gabby Anne. She’s back at the apartment. Lee, did you manage to book the room for the two of them at the end? Well, it took a little doing to keep it anonymous, but uh, yes I did and uh, I let myself in and gave it my own personal. Gabby and Stephan’s Love Shack is ready to rock and roll.

You just have to show up. Oh, I’m sure they will make sure of that. Now, all we need is for Lee to catch them in the act. Who’s getting caught in the act?

Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

It would take a while to explain why Sloan hates me. I’m sorry. It’s none of my business. It’s just she threatened you today. Yeah. And I don’t blame you for being curious Sloan, she’s hated me for a long time. Say no more. Why? I guess I kind of have to, you’re gonna be working for me, and there is no telling what that woman is capable of.

So, um, yeah, I, I don’t want you to get hurt by this me, I’m just,

You aren’t laughing. No, I’m not. This is serious song. Hey, British police, they’re not pressing charges in the judge. He threw out the civil suit. You’re kind of running outta options, aren’t you? Just pay no attention to me. I get this way when I’m frustrated. It’s not just about the lawsuit for Paulina and Chanel, it’s about us too.

Your gallery. I’m always excited about taking over sweet bits and seeing it there. The money we would’ve made from the lawsuit, we could have renovated it. And now it just says everything’s thrown out the window. Hey, now on the gallery was more your idea than it was mine. Now you are a talented photographer.

Only you deserve it.

I just can’t believe that. Paulina, sorry. And she now got off spot free. And we got what? We got nothing. It’s okay. Just stop worrying. You know me well enough to know that I don’t, just without that easy, and I’m not giving up on you

to you, my love.

Huh? You don’t like champagne? I. I just don’t love feeling like you’re up to something. Can’t I just be happy for you? No, you don’t do anything just for me. There’s always something in it for you. So what is it? Is it my deal with Saxtons or is it the fact that you set it up and now I owe you? You, Paul and I were talking about the possibility of me catching you in the act with Gabby.

The very last thing. Any of us here? And why you two seem so happy talking about it? Well, if we seem happy, it’s because I came through with my promise to help you and Gabby be alone together, but that is not guaranteed. So you two will have to be discreet. So you’re helping us out. Mm-hmm. . By taking a room at the Salem man under a false name, manage that.

The point is, it’s all set, everything is tickety boo. But if you have doubts of any kind, yeah, I’ll go back to the Salem man and tell him I changed my mind right now. But Steph in it’s, it’s up to you.

I’m at the. Do you hear what I’m trying to say? I hear you, but I don’t understand. Cause I thought the judge threw out Sloan’s case. Isn’t this over? I wish on Brady. He knows everything. Sean pulled his stake out tonight and he hasn’t said a word to me about you or Sloan. He hasn’t said anything to me either.

Listen, our detectives are not in the habit of conducting private investigation. That’s not what this is. Okay, well then why don’t you tell me what it is. I talked to Sean Brady today and I asked him to be discre. Looks like he took me a little too seriously, but, well, what do you wanna hear about first?

The break-in at my office or Sloane’s. Crazy threats against Jane, Janelle, and me. Well, I don’t care where I saw it first. As long as it ends up with that Luna check in a jail self.

So this professor that you had an affair with turned out to be Sloan’s father, I’m not proud of any. I should have just walked out of his office the second he came onto me, but I didn’t.

Anyway, Sloan’s mother, she found out about us and one day she pretended to be him and she tricked me into meeting up with her on the roof. And when I got there, she confronted me and threatened me. And what did you. It, it all happened so fast. She came at me and I, I, I tried to, to push her away and then she lost her balance and fell.

She died. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, anyway, uh, Sloan is convinced that it wasn’t an accident. She’s sure. I pushed her mother and her father made her think that she’s right. The man that you had I affair with wound, wound up drinking himself to death. God, I, he left someone a letter telling her that, um, that he knew that I pushed her mother off of that roof.

My God, this is, and then my mom came running to the rescue right after Sloan’s mother died. She managed to keep the whole thing quiet and the mother’s death was ruled an accident, and I, I thought the whole thing was over. But then Sloane got her father’s letter and then she, uh, she tried blackmailing me and then, and that didn’t work.

She tried to have me sent back to London for a trial, and then when the police said that it was too late to bring up charges against me, she. She tried to sue me for wrongful death, and then the judge refused to take the case and she still didn’t get the message. She’ll never get it. Wow. So that’s why she acted that way this morning.

I know I’m the bad guy in this situation. If I had just told her father that I wasn’t interested, then her mother wouldn’t have died the way that she did. Yeah. But the professor was the adult. In this situation, you shouldn’t feel bad about any of this. Two people are dead and their psychopath daughter is obsessed with making me pay.

This isn’t going away Anytime.

If you’re having second thoughts about taking this drop, I understand. No. Look, I spent all day baking today and it was the most refreshing and rewarding feeling I felt in a very long time. So trust me, I’ll be back. Well, great. That’s great. As long as you know the score. No, I really appreciate your honesty.

It just makes me feel bad. Why?

I haven’t been so honest with you.

I’m being honest, Gabby. I am capable of being happy for you without trying to get something for myself. Since one, I admit, I’m hoping that this opportunity changes the way you feel about me. I’ve never denied that. That’s what I. But there is something else motivating me. I’m pulling for you, Mrs. Shin.

Always. I wanna watch you show the world your drive, your intelligence, your creative talent. You went into that meeting today and took no prisoners. Tell me you’re as excited about that as.

Even if I’m the one who made it happen,

the sail. Really? The sailor man? Yes. The one that’s right off Wharton Town Square, the one that everybody in their mother in this town goes to. Oh, Steph. Not everyone. Okay. But they do get their fair share of foot traffic. So how do you suggest we show up and get into that building site on. Show up in the middle of the night.

Do we show up in disguise? Do has the entire front desk staff been paid off? I’ve already arranged things with the manager. The room will be paid full through a subsidiary of Dera Enterprises. Mm-hmm. . And you and Gabby will have access to a back entrance and we’ll fill you in on the rest if you’re interested.

It seems my brother isn’t ready to accept your generosity. Nicole, do you? . Look, aj, it’s not Lee that I’m worried about. He doesn’t scare me one bit, but Gabby has everything to lose here and it’s not like these circumstances are gonna go on forever. All Gabby has to do is adhere to Lee’s conditions for the next five months and his shares of the company become hers five months.

Yeah, but that’s a long time to wait for a couple who’s wanted to be together as, as long as you and Gabby have. That may be true, but if Lee catches us in that room, Gabby gets nothing. You are giving yourself and Gabby a great deal of credit for self-control. You try and wear me down. No, no. I’m trying to prove to you that I’m on your side.

Now look, I know that’s going to be hard to convince. Especially after what I, what I kept from you. I know that the time spent under Dr. Ross Spell is time lost with Gabby. It’s the reason Gabby married Lee, and I wanna make that up to you.

You have no idea how badly I’m gonna take you up on this. Me just a thought being with Gabby. Look, I understand your objections to the plan soon, shouldn’t we try and solve those problems? Look, all it takes is for you to say the word, and Nicole will leave right now and get in touch with Gabby. She’ll fill her in on the plan and get her into the in safely.

You and I will stay here and try and figure out the most secure way for you to.

But no one is doing anything until you say the word.

Go for it. Okay.

You’re doing the right thing. God, I hope so.

You know what you should ask your father about showing your pictures. . Why? Because then you could just sell directly to the customers. I’m seeing a lot of restaurants do it. Yeah. Pricey restaurants maybe. But my customers come for club chatter. Hmm. Not to mention, then I have to talk to my dad about this whole idea, and then he’d be involved, and then it wouldn’t be my gallery.

Well, I mean, gallery’s probably not happening anyway now. Hey, a disappointment today and you’re worried about me. Do you not know how much you mean to me? How important you are? Eric, if it wasn’t for you, I would spend 24 hours a day just obsessing over Chanel, Dupree and Paulina Price. Well then try not to and let it go.

I can’t.

I know that makes me complicated to, uh, deal with I can do complicated.

Lucky.

So, after you and Stephanie found out that your office had been trashed, I called Sean and. And told him to arrest Sloan, but he didn’t. Well cuz there weren’t any witnesses. , can we not get hung up on the details? I know who did it. Same person who painted murderer on the window of the bakery. It, it, it’s Sloane Peterson’s Mo.

There’s something called a burden of proof, so we have to have proof before we can charge Sloane Peterson. So the law protects her and leaves Chanel and me to fend for ourself. We just can’t press any charges. Based on your theories alone. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Chanel’s helper at the bakery. She was there when Sloane went off on her this morning.

She was, yeah. I, I just remember. That helper is my sister. Okay. Well that gives us something to go on. Oh, yeah. I, I can prove that Sloan blackmailed me. I can prove that she tried to haul Chanel and me into court and call us murderers. Neither one of those things worked out for her and she’s, she’s going rogue.

I’m just scared to death of what she’s gonna do next. She threatened you directly. Didn’t I say that? No, you didn’t. Well, she did. She got right up in my face, says she doesn’t care what a court of Lord says. Please, please. I’m, I’m, I’m asking for your help. I’ve been, I’ve been trying to take care of Chanel since this tragedy happened.

I’m just, I’m just afraid that she’s in more danger now than ever. You, you need to step up now. I’m, I’m scared for my baby’s life.

A. , you are a doctor? Mm-hmm. what? Like you have a PhD or something? No, an md. Oh, oh, so you’re like a doctor. Doctor? Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, good for you. Uh, but would you mind telling me why a doctor wanna work in a bakery?

So, I became a doctor because my father was one. . And then once I realized I was really good at science, I wanted to follow in his footsteps, he was my hero. So I finished med school and started my internship and I started wondering like, why am I not excited about what I’m doing? You did say today was one of the most rewarding days you’d had in a long time.

Yeah, and it. I love baking and when I saw your sign in the window, I felt like that was fate stepping in and nudging me. I had to apply. So this was just like a spur of the moment thing. Exactly. But your application, all your experience at that famous New York bakery, they didn’t exactly employ me. You were an intern.

No, but I went every day if it counts. So you were conning me? No, not exactly. Okay. Look, I would buy something like a croissant and then I would take it home and I would reverse engineer it to see why they made it so light and flaky, which I figured out by the way that means anything. But no, I was not honest on my application.

Yeah, sounds like. So does that mean that I’m fired?

You have to trust Nicole. She’s thought of everything. No, I’m not thinking about her. Thinking about Gabby. I mean, I could be with her for the first time. Forever roll’s. Finally outta my head. I know what I want, what I’ve always wanted, and I was this close to get him to tell Gabby that. And, but he’d already gotten another sign.

The papers. Yes. I know tonight is supposed to change all of that. This is what you, Gabby deserve. It is, but what if she hates the. Why would she,

you think she’s automatically gonna trust Nicole? Why not? Why would she? Nicole married Rafe and then dumped him. Gabby loves her brother. She’s probably gonna throw Nicole out. I mean, this whole idea could be dead in the water before it even begins.

I am not gonna lie. I’m super stoked about this deal. I mean, I fought it all the way because it was your idea. I know I was there. You can’t blame me. I didn’t even know I wanted this deal so bad. I only figured it out when, when I was talking to those execs today, they were eating out of the palm in my hand.

They were so excited. I, I, I have to say thank you. You were the one that got me into that room and you knew what I needed. I’m. Even if I had an ulterior motive, even if you did wonder who that could be.

Hi. Oh, um, is this a bad time?

Are you two going to help me? You are not. You do have a legitimate complaint finally, but there is not a whole lot of corroborating evidence. Are you turning me down? No. Seriously. No, we are not. We’re not. There is no harm in bringing Ms. Peterson in for questioning. Oh, what does that mean? Well, it means we’ll ask the questions cuz you better have some damn convincing answers.

Ooh, this soft space by the river looks really interesting. No, it’s on the fifth floor. I mean, how would people find it? Okay, that’s a good point. Well, what about the storefront here? This is a great location. No, it used to be an ice cream parlor. It would cost too much money to. Are you always such a downer like you’re getting on my nerves?

I’ll try to be more positive. Please do

You feeling better? Yeah, I am.

I dunno why I agreed to do this in the first. And Gabby is gonna become suspicious. The moment of Nicole shows up at her door, I’m gonna give her a heads up. What if FL is with her when she gets your text? The whole plan will go up in spoke.

So either way I lose. No, I anticipated this. Use this phone whenever you contact Gabby to catch up. Adam Burner. Mm-hmm. . Even if Lee sees the text, he won’t know it’s from you. He really did think of everything. As I said before, I’m on your side. No, Stefan, I want this for you.

What are you doing here? I came to talk to Gabby, so I heard you had a meeting with Saxtons today about a new product line. Work gets around fast. Well, I’m here to pitch you to come over to Basic Black instead, you wanna go into business with me? Mm-hmm. Basic Block is owned by Damara Enterprises. I can’t see EJ standing I by while you cut a deal with.

Yeah, me neither. Well, EJ doesn’t have a say in this Brady, and I have carte blanche to run basic lack hour way. I might believe that if I didn’t know that you and EJ are having an affair, ej, and I know how to separate business from our personal life. Oh, come on Gabby. Don’t let my relationship with EJ make you miss out on a great opportunity.

Why don’t we grab a drink and we’ll talk it over? Don’t be taken in. It’s almost like you heard about Gabby’s meeting with Saxtons and rushed over here just to keep from being scooped. You’re too late. By the way, I am familiar with basic Black’s operating budget, and you can’t match Saxon’s offer. You really want me to believe that they gave her a firm offer already.

What’s the text? Nothing important. You know what? Um, one drink is gonna be pretty quick. I wanna hear what Nicole has to say.

That place in New York, it’s more than just a bakery. It’s a patisserie, right? Did you copy the tart to tan? Mm-hmm. . It’s just a fancy apple. , no problem. Chocolate financier. Okay. I had a problem nailing that one. Does that mean that I’m fired? I hate to break it to you, but you are way too talented to let that.

And you got guts. Sal, you are stuck with me and sweet bits. Thank you, . Oh, thank goodness you’re still here. Did something happen? I just came from the police department. Why it? It’s okay. I’ve already told her about Sloan. Except for what? To my office. Your office. What happened to your office? It was trashed.

So if you didn’t take Sloan’s threats seriously this morning, you better start doing it now. That crazy woman, she’s still trying to get us, and now she doesn’t care what the law says. You have to be ready for anything.

So we have two possible places we are looking at tomorrow. We’re really doing this. Yeah. Yeah, we are. You know, I never would’ve crossed my mind open a gallery if it hadn’t been for you. We’re really excited.

Why do I go back to my place and celebrate and dinner? We can pretend to look at takeout menus for like five minutes,

but um, let’s get out of here because I’ve never been so excited to not eat in my life.

Yes, thank you.

I don’t like this. Gabby, what if Saxons finds out you’re taking other meetings? She has every right to, plus it’ll drive her price up. I stuck my neck out to make Saxon’s commit on paper if they think you’re playing them. Gabby, what’s wrong with getting the best possible deal? And don’t you want that? Of course I do.

What about dinner? We’ll just keep it warm and we can have it later. Yeah.

Uh, this isn’t about a fashion deal, is it? There’s no fool in you. Now I am here because of, of. I just got an anonymous text and I think it was him. It said, listen to Nicole. What? What is this, Martin? You’re doing the right thing. I will tell you everything in the car. Ah, this is taking forever.

Nicole has Gabby with her and they’re on the way to the end, and so am I.

What if Lee’s having me filed? No, don’t worry about that. My people are better than his people and they’ve been alerted. Now there’s a car waiting for you outside with the keys and that. Leave your car here. Okay, we’ll real quick, wait, wait, wait. What? It’s interview a little while before, uh, Nicole and Gabby get to the end.

Let’s drink a small toast.

Okay,

to an event for leaving to you and Nicole, thank you for making this happen now. Thanks. Necessary entirely un.

Yeah, I’m outta here. Good luck.

But I’m afraid that has just run out, bro.

I cannot believe Sloan trashed her office. She’s off the rails. That one I had a hard time convincing your sister and Ray Hernandez of that. But finally, I, I got him to see the light. Oh, Sloan went through my office looking for something to use against us. She probably did it right before she came back here.

Who, what did Ray say he was gonna do? Said he was gonna run her in for questioning. If your sister winds up putting Sloan in the cell, tell us, she has my permission to just throw away the key. We were just leaving. You’ll have to make other plans. Is this about what happened with s. I thought we were done and when he dropped the charges, this isn’t about you, so it’s maimed why We’ll discuss this at headquarters.

We have a few questions we’d like to ask you.

Put the rose pedals on the bed, me and uh, there’s the champagne in the bucket and bath bubbles by the tub. He really went all out. And Stephen’s on his way here. Yeah, I mean, he’s, he’s definitely coming. Oh, okay. Why, why do you look so skeptical? I’m just, I’m having a hard time believing that EJ is down with this.

It’s like I told you, EJ feels really bad about keeping Stephan in the dark about what Rolf did, and Stephan will confirm that when he get. What about are you, what, what do you get out of this? What can I say? I’m, I’m a romantic, but there won’t be much romance if I’m still here. So just make me feel comfortable and wait for your guy.

Okay. Wait, wait.

Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Stephanie and I wanna be together so much and, and making it happen for us. You the answer to our prayers.

Well, this is unexpected. I know, but I think you’ll be glad I.

Did I interrupt a celebration? It’s already been interrupted. Say what you came here to say and get outta here before GAVA gets back. How are things going with her? Slowly. That’s not good enough. Excuse me. I meted when I said I wanted to help you reconcile with her. I want Gabby far away from my brother and my family’s fortune as soon as possible.

Hmm. Well, you’ve got your work cut out for you. Hmm. Did Gabby happen to leave with Nicole? You know about her offer from Basic Block. There is no offer, I’m afraid. You’ve been set up, old boy, set up how Stefan and Gabby aren’t together as we. What? You’re lying. I’m not. Can do something about it?

Oh, I can’t believe this is happening. Oh, you gonna let me in? Thank you Nicole. Really EJ too. Yeah, enough. With the thank yous. You two just enjoy each other. Okay. I know you.

And, um, I’ll take care of this on my,

ah,

I cannot believe this is happening. Finally. You’re really.

Update written by Joseph

Chanel and Talia walk through the town square. Chanel asks how Talia liked her first day as a baker. Talia says she loved it and can’t wait to come back tomorrow. Chanel asks if she’s sure and acknowledges that she had to put the pressure on to see if she could handle it and she did. Chanel calls it a major relief because she had been falling further behind since Allie left. Talia assures she’ll be back tomorrow and they say goodnight. Talia then stops to ask Chanel why Sloan hates her so much.

Rafe goes to the police station and brings Jada a paper of home listings since she said Talia was looking for a place. Jada says he didn’t have to go through the trouble. Rafe notes that one of the workers moonlights as a realtor so it was no trouble. Jada acknowledges that he still went out of his way for her sister. Rafe responds that he actually did it for Jada since he can’t have his detectives being tired. Paulina arrives and questions them standing around shooting the breeze instead of getting Sloan off the streets.

Sloan goes to see Eric at the Brady Pub. Eric says he was going to call to check on her since her trial got thrown out. Sloan responds that if Paulina thinks she’s through with her and Chanel, she’s dreaming. Sloan declares that she will see those two bitches in Hell first.

Gabi comes home to find Li has set up a candle light dinner. Gabi questions what the hell he’s up to now. Li wants to celebrate her triumph. Gabi says he doesn’t have to lay it on so thick. Li encourages her handling the meeting and says they are dying to get in the Gabi Shin business. Gabi guesses it went pretty well. Li encourages that she’s on her way to her second fashion empire and toasts to his beautiful, talented wife.

Nicole joins EJ at the DiMera Mansion. EJ says he’s glad that she’s there and mentions getting word that Gabi is at her apartment with Li. Nicole tells EJ that she anonymously booked a room at the Salem Inn for Gabi and Stefan so everything is set up and they just have to show up. EJ assures they will, so all they need is for Li to catch them in the act. Stefan then walks in and questions who is getting caught in the act.

Chanel tells Talia that it would take awhile to explain why Sloan hates her. Talia apologizes as it’s none of her business but notes that Sloan threatened her today. Chanel doesn’t blame her for being curious and says that Sloan has hated her for a long time. Talia tells her to say no more but Chanel guesses she has to since Talia is going to be working for her and there’s no telling what Sloan will do. Chanel adds that she doesn’t want Talia to get hurt by this. Talia jokes that she’s just the help but realizes Chanel is serious.

Eric tells Sloan that after the civil suit was thrown out, she’s kind of running out of options. Sloan tells her that she’s just frustrated. Sloan says it’s not just about the lawsuit but about them and Eric’s gallery. Sloan complains that she was excited about taking over Sweet Bits and seeing Eric’s gallery there. Sloan says the money from the lawsuit could have renovated it but now it’s all out the window. Eric says it was more her idea than his. Sloan argues that Eric is a talented photographer and deserves it. Sloan can’t believe that Paulina and Chanel got off free while they got nothing. Eric tells her it’s okay and to stop worrying about it. Sloan says he knows her well enough to know that she doesn’t give up that easily and she’s not giving up on him.

Li gives Gabi a glass of champagne but Gabi feels he’s up to something. Li asks if he can’t just be happy for her. Gabi argues that he doesn’t do anything just for her and there’s always something in it for him, so she asks what it is.

EJ tells Stefan that they were just talking about the possibility of Li catching Stefan and Gabi in the act and claims it’s the last thing they want. Stefan questions why they seemed so happy talking about it then. Nicole says it’s because she came through with her promise to get Stefan and Gabi some alone time together. EJ warns that’s not guaranteed, so they will have to be discrete. Stefan questions that they are helping them out. Nicole explains that she took a room out at the Salem Inn under a false name. EJ assures it’s all taken care of while Nicole offers to go back and cancel the room if Stefan has any doubts. Nicole states that it’s up to him.

Paulina complains that she’s at the end of her rope. Rafe doesn’t understand because the judge threw Sloan’s case out so he thought this was over. Paulina asks where Shawn is since he knows everything. Rafe responds that Shawn is on a stakeout tonight while Jada notes that Shawn hasn’t said a word to her about Paulina or Sloan. Rafe notes that their detectives do not conduct private investigations. Paulina explains that she asked Shawn to be discrete and asks if they want to hear about the break-in at her office or Sloan’s crazy threats against them. Paulina wants Sloan to end up in a jail cell.

Chanel tells Talia about how she had an affair with a professor who turned out to be Sloan’s father. Chanel says she’s not proud of it and should’ve walked out when he first came on to her but she didn’t. Chanel adds that Sloan’s mother found out and messaged her while pretending to be him to get her to meet her on the roof. Chanel says once up there, she confronted her and threatened her and it all happened so fast. Chanel says she came at her, so she tried to push her away but she lost her balance, fell, and died. Chanel continues that Sloan is sure it wasn’t an accident and that she pushed her mother while her father made her think she’s right. Chanel adds that Sloan’s father ended up drinking himself to death but he left Sloan a letter, saying she pushed her mother off the roof. Chanel explains that Paulina came to her rescue and managed to get things kept quiet while the death of Sloan’s mother was ruled an accident. Chanel thought the whole thing was over until Sloan got her father’s letter and tried blackmailing her then having her sent back to London for a trial but it was too late for the charges, so she tried to sue her for wrongful death but the judge refused the case. Talia questions Sloan not getting the message. Chanel says she never will. Talia realizes now why Sloan acted that way this morning. Chanel acknowledges that she’s the bad guy in this situation as if she didn’t get involved with Sloan’s father, then her mother wouldn’t have died that way. Talia argues that he was the adult in the situation so she shouldn’t feel bad about any of this. Chanel responds that two people are dead and their psychopath daughter is obsessed with making her pay, so this isn’t going away anytime soon. Chanel adds that she understands if Talia is having second thoughts about taking this job. Talia assures that she’s not and says she spent the whole day baking which was the most refreshing and rewarding thing she’s felt in a long time. Talia assures she will be back tomorrow. Chanel says that’s great as she wipes tears from her eyes. Talia appreciates her honesty and says she just feels bad because she hasn’t been so honest with her.

Li tells Gabi that he’s being honest and is capable of being happy for her without trying to get something for himself. Li admits he hopes this opportunity changes how she feels about him but says he’s always pulling for her and he wants to watch her show the world her drive, intelligence, and creative talent. Li asks if Gabi is excited about the meeting as he is, even if he’s the one who made it happen.

Stefan complains about the Salem Inn being right off the town square where everyone goes, so he questions how they are supposed to get in there without being seen. Stefan asks if they are supposed to show up in the middle of the night or in disguise. Nicole assures the front desk has been taken care of while EJ adds that the room will be paid for by DiMera Enterprises. Nicole notes that Stefan and Gabi will have access to a back entrance if he’s interested. Stefan says it’s not Li that he’s worried about but Gabi has everything to lose and all she has to do is adhere to Li’s contract for five months and then his shares will belong to her. Nicole argues that five months is a long time to wait for a couple who have waited to be together as long as Stefan and Gabi have. Stefan says that may be true, but if Li catches them then Gabi gets nothing. EJ credits them having self control. Stefan asks if he’s trying to wear him down. EJ claims he wants to prove that he’s on his side now and knows that will be hard to prove after what he kept from him. EJ knows the time he spent under Dr. Rolf’s spell was time he lost with Gabi, so he wants to make that up to him. Stefan admits how badly he wants to take him up on it. EJ understands his objections to the plan and suggests trying to solve those problems. EJ tells Stefan that if he just says the word, Nicole will get in touch with Gabi to get her to the Salem Inn safely while they will figure out the most secure way for him to join her. EJ adds that no one will do anything until Stefan says the word. Stefan then tells them to go for it, so Nicole exits. EJ encourages that Stefan is doing the right thing. Stefan says he hopes so.

Sloan tells Eric that he should ask Roman about showing his pictures at the Pub and then he can sell directly to the customers which she has been seeing restaurants do. Eric says pricey restaurants do while his customers come for clam chowder. Eric adds that if he did that, Roman would have to be involved and then it wouldn’t be his gallery. Sloan remarks that the gallery’s not happening now anyway. Eric questions her worrying about him after the disappointment she’s had today. Sloan asks if Eric doesn’t know how much he means to her and how important he is. Sloan adds that if it wasn’t for him, she would spend 24 hours a day obsessing over Chanel and Paulina. Eric encourages her to try to let it go but Sloan says she can’t. Sloan knows that makes her complicated to deal with. Eric says he can do complicated as they kiss.

Rafe asks Paulina about finding her office trashed. Paulina explains that she called Shawn and told him to arrest Sloan. Rafe points out that there weren’t any witnesses. Paulina insists that she knows it was Sloan. Jada talks about not having any proof in order to charge her. Paulina questions the law protecting Sloan while leaving her and Chanel to fend for themselves. Jada repeats that they can’t press charges based on her theories. Paulina remembers that Talia was there when Sloan went off on Chanel this morning. Rafe says that gives them something to go on. Paulina argues that she can prove Sloan blackmailed her and tried to haul them in to court but neither one worked out for her, so she’s going rogue. Paulina says she’s scared of what Sloan will do next. Rafe asks if Sloan threatened her directly. Paulina states that she did and got in her face, saying she didn’t care what the court of law says. Paulina asks for their help and says she’s been trying to take care of Chanel but she’s afraid that Chanel is in more danger now than ever, so they need to step up now because she’s scared for her daughter’s life.

Talia reveals to Chanel that she’s a doctor which surprises her. Chanel questions why a doctor would want to work at a bakery. Talia explains that she became a doctor because her father was one and once she realized she was good at science, she wanted to follow in his footsteps because he was her hero. Talia talks about finishing med school and wondering why she wasn’t excited about what she was doing. Chanel notes her saying today was rewarding. Talia says she loves baking and felt like it was fate for her to apply. Chanel brings up that Talia listed working at a famous New York restaurant on her application. Talia admits she was not employed there so Chanel questions if she was conning her. Talia tries to explain but admits that she was not honest on her application. Talia then asks if that means she’s fired.

EJ encourages Stefan to trust Nicole because she’s thought of everything. Stefan responds that he’s thinking of Gabi. Stefan says he could be with Gabi for the first time in forever and now Dr. Rolf is out of his head, so he knows what he’s always wanted and he was this close to telling Gabi but she already signed Li’s papers. EJ tells Stefan that tonight is supposed to change all that as this is what he and Gabi deserve. Stefan asks what if Gabi hates the plan. EJ asks why she would. Stefan questions EJ thinking Gabi will automatically trust Nicole. EJ asks why not. Stefan reminds EJ that Nicole married Rafe and then dumped him and Gabi loves her brother, so she might throw Nicole out and then this whole idea would be dead in the water before it even begins.

Gabi admits to Li that she’s super stoked about this deal and that she fought it because it was Li’s idea. Gabi talks about not even realizing she wanted it until the executives were eating out of her hand and so excited. Gabi thanks Li for getting her in the room and giving her what she needed, so she is grateful, even if he had an ulterior motive. Nicole then shows up at the door and asks if it’s a bad time.

Paulina asks if Rafe and Jada are going to help her or not. Jada acknowledges that Paulina has a valid complaint but notes there’s not a lot of evidence. Paulina questions if they are turning her down. Rafe assures that they are not and there is no harm in bringing Sloan in for questioning. Rafe warns that Sloan better have some damn convincing answers.

Eric and Sloan look at listings for a space for Eric’s gallery. Eric turns down the first few so Sloan complains about him being a downer. Eric agrees to try to be more positive and asks if she’s feeling better. Sloan admits that she is.

Stefan doesn’t know why he agreed to do this and worries that Gabi will be suspicious the moment that Nicole shows up at her door. Stefan wants to give her a heads up but EJ warns that if Li is with Gabi when she gets his text, then the whole plan will go up in smoke. Stefan guesses he’d lose either way. EJ then reveals he anticipated this, so he presents Stefan with a burner phone so if Li sees any text, he won’t know it’s from him. Stefan acknowledges that he really did think of everything. EJ repeats that he’s on his side now and he wants this for him.

Li questions what Nicole is doing there. Nicole says she came to talk to Gabi and mentions hearing that she was pitching a new fashion line. Gabi remarks that word travels fast. Nicole claims she’s here to convince Gabi to come over to Basic Black instead. Gabi questions her wanting to go in to business with her. Li points out that Basic Black is owned by DiMera Enterprises, so he can’t see EJ just standing by while she cuts a deal with Gabi. Gabi agrees. Nicole states that EJ doesn’t have a say as she and Brady run Basic Black their way. Gabi says she would believe that if she didn’t know that she and EJ were having an affair. Nicole responds that she and EJ know how to separate business from their personal life. Nicole tells Gabi not to let her relationship with EJ make her miss out on a great opportunity. Nicole invites Gabi out for a drink so they can talk it over. Li tells Gabi not to be taken in and comments that it’s almost like Nicole heard about Gabi’s meeting and rushed over to avoid getting scooped. Li tells Nicole that she’s too late and that he’s familiar with Basic Black’s operating budget and knows they can’t match the offer. Nicole doesn’t believe Gabi already got a firm offer. Gabi gets a text from Stefan’s burner telling her to listen to Nicole. Li questions what the text was but Gabi claims it was nothing important. Gabi decides one drink will be quick and she wants to hear what Nicole has to say.

Chanel looks up the New York restaurant and asks Talia about some of the recipes. Talia confirms she knows some of them and then asks again if she’s fired. Chanel responds that she is too talented to let go and she’s got guts, so she’s stuck with her. Talia excitedly hugs her and thanks her. Paulina approaches and informs them that she just came from the police department because her office was trashed. Paulina warns Chanel to take Sloan’s threats seriously because she doesn’t care what the law says, so they have to be ready for anything.

Sloan tells Eric they have two possible locations to look at tomorrow. Eric asks if they are really doing this. Sloan confirms they are. Eric points out that it never would’ve crossed his mind to open a gallery if it wasn’t for her and admits he’s really excited. Sloan suggests they go back to her place to celebrate as they kiss. They get up to go but Rafe and Jada arrive at the Pub.

Li tells Gabi that he doesn’t like this and argues that he stuck his neck out to get her the meeting. Gabi questions what’s wrong with getting the best deal. Li asks about dinner. Gaib tells him to just keep it warm and they can have it later as she exits with Nicole. Li shuts the door in frustration. Gabi asks Nicole if this is not about a fashion deal. Nicole admits she’s here because of Stefan. Gabi mentions getting an anonymous text saying to listen to Nicole and questions what this is. Nicole says she will tell her everything in the car.

Stefan complains that this is taking forever. EJ then gets a text from Nicole that she has Gabi and they are on their way to the Salem Inn. Stefan says so is he then. Stefan asks what if Li is having him followed. EJ tells him not to worry about that as his people are better than Li’s and there’s a car out to pick him up so he won’t be in his car. EJ suggests waiting a little while until Nicole and Gabi get to the Inn and proposes a small toast. EJ pours them drinks and toasts to an eventful evening. Stefan toasts to EJ and Nicole, thanking them for making this happen. EJ says no thanks necessary as they take their drinks. Stefan then says he’s out of here so EJ wishes him luck as he exits. EJ remarks to himself that he’s afraid Stefan’s luck has just run out.

Chanel cannot believe Sloan trashed Paulina’s office. Paulina complains that Sloan is off the rails and she had a hard time convincing Jada and Rafe of that, but she finally got them to see the light. Paulina argues that Sloan went through her office, looking for something to use against them. Chanel asks what Rafe is going to do. Paulina says he’s going to bring her in for questioning. Paulina tells Talia that if Jada winds up putting Sloan in a cell, she can throw away the key.

Sloan says they were just leaving but Jada says they will have to make other plans. Eric asks if this is about what happened with Stefan as he thought they were done when he dropped the charges. Rafe responds that this isn’t about Eric. Sloan questions what they want with her. Rafe says they will discuss it at police headquarters as they have a few questions to ask her.

Nicole brings Gabi to a room at the Salem Inn with rose petals on the bed and champagne in the room. Gabi acknowledges that she really went all out. Nicole assures that Stefan is on his way. Gabi is having a hard time believing that EJ is down with this. Nicole insists that EJ feels bad about keeping Stefan in the dark about what Dr. Rolf did which Stefan can confirm. Gabi questions what Nicole gets out of this. Nicole claims she’s just a romantic but there won’t be much romance if she stays here. Nicole tells Gabi to just get comfortable and wait for her guy. Gabi hugs Nicole and thanks her since she and Stefan wanted to be together so much and she’s like the answer to their prayers.

EJ goes to see Li at his apartment. Li calls it unexpected. EJ thinks he’ll be glad that he popped by. EJ asks if he interrupted a celebration. Li responds that it’s already been interrupted. Li tells EJ to say what he has to say and get out before Gabi comes back. EJ asks how things are going with Gabi. Li says slowly. EJ says that’s not good enough and reminds Li that he meant it when he said he wanted to help him reconcile with Gabi because he wants Gabi far away from Stefan and his family’s fortune as soon as possible. Li says EJ has his work cut out for him. EJ asks if Gabi happened to leave with Nicole. Li questions EJ knowing about her offer from Basic Black. EJ reveals there is no offer and that he’s afraid Li has been setup. Li questions how. EJ then informs him that Stefan and Gabi are together as they speak. Li accuses him of lying but EJ says he’s not and asks if he cares to do something about it.

Stefan arrives at the room at the Salem Inn. Gabi can’t believe this is happening. Stefan thanks Nicole. Nicole tells them to enjoy each other and exits the room, putting the do not disturb sign on the way out. Gabi hugs Stefan and says she can’t believe this is happening. Stefan declares that they are really finally alone and kisses her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, well as soon as I hear anything new, I will let you know you take care of yourself. Lucas.

Hey, everything okay?

Yeah, just giving Lucas the latest on the search for Megan Hathaway.

I’d like an update yourself and I was about to give you. Hope has a lead on Megan’s location thanks to Harris.

Michaels, do you really mean that?

I need to trust you? We’d have to take it slow.

I’m okay with slow.

What the hell is going on here?

Hi honey. What are you? Here. Oh my God. Credible surprise. I am so. I’m so happy to see you. Let me look at my beautiful girl. I thought you were in the Caribbean sailing around with Ben and Little Bow.

Yeah, I was, uh, up until a few hours ago we docked and um, I got a motel and I happened to call Sean and he told me that you were about an hour away.

Wow. What a coincidence, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I’m so thrilled to see you. Yeah. Oh my gosh. But wait a second. I’m a little confused about this because this is a secured facility. How the heck did you get in here?

Well, uh, I am my mother’s daughter after all.

Mm-hmm. ,

I convinced Cousin Andrew to give me clearance.

Yeah, that turns out I did it just in time. Cuz I’m here to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.

Thanks for the memories. But I’m gonna go into my future on my own.

Oh my God.

Good to see you too. You’re alive. My, my brother’s alive.

What the.

Is this real? Is it.

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

Ciara, listen to me.

No mom, you listen to me. You told me that you were out searching for Megan Hathaway. You told me that you were hunting her down to make her pay for what she did to us,

which I am.

Really?

Yes,

because I just walked in on you kissing the man that she hired to kill you.

If I can just,

it’s okay.

No, it’s not. It is absolutely not.

Okay.

And I just know that daddy would be rolling over in his grave if he could see you right now.

We weren’t expecting this.

Rolf told me that Megan was trying to bring back a lost love, but honestly, I never, I never thought it was possible. Miracle, miracle.

What happened?

Oh. Tried to inject me with his sedative and gave her a taste of her own medicine.

Oh, they just love needles around here, don’t they? Rolf just tried to do his latest test on me and his serum, and I just, I, I, I thought ’em off and I ran, and I

So you’re done with this insane experiment too, huh?

So Meins had you here all this.

Yeah, I told her I was leaving. She put up a fight and lost it. Looks like she’s coming to.

Yeah. We better get the hell outta here.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait. We can’t.

Why not?

Because Marlena is here too, and we are not going without her.

Harris Michaels, wasn’t he working for Megan?

Apparently she brainwashed him into doing her dirty work, but, uh, according to Hope, the ISA has got him. Back in his right mind and now he is doing everything he can to help track down his old boss and, uh, bring it to justice.

Hmm. But I don’t know, I mean, after all the damage this Harris guy did last summer, I do you really believe there’s anything he says that we can trust?

Mom, you have to get away from this man.

You don’t understand.

Understand what, why I just walked in on you kissing the man who tried to kill all of us in Montreal. I mean, just can please explain this to me. Please. Just tell me that you are using him to get information.

I, he’s already filled as a possible location.  In fact, John and your uncle Steve are checking it out right now as we speak.

Okay. All right. So you got him to give up his boss. That’s very nice work, mom. But did you have to do it by literally kissing him on,

stop it just. Stop for one minute and listen to me. Harris is not the same man.

Harris is a monster who we both know is very skilled at deception.  He might still be on your side, but he also might be loyal to Megan mom. He sometimes three women to their deaths already. Do you really wanna be one of them?

Can you hear me?  Oh, if this really is, shoot, come on. Please open those beautiful eyes.  It’s okay. I’m right here. It’s okay. I’m gonna get her some help. I’m gonna get her some help, baby.

Why am I not surprised to find you here?

I apologize for interrupting her. I see you and Dr. Evans in the midst of a joyous reunion.

Well, I would be, except she’s still unconscious, and

nevertheless, I’m sure you want some time alone with her. So if you’re un handy, I’ll be on my way.

But you’re not going anywhere.

What you’re gonna do is you’re gonna. Right now, so we can get the hell outta here. Hey,

okay, we’re good. Come on.

All right, follow me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That is not the way to where Megan was keeping us.

You’re right. It’s way off of this.

No, but I, I told you that we have to go back from Marlena.

Forget her.

What?

We don’t have time. She’s on her own.

She is unconscious. She has no way of protecting herself.

Well, her bad luck.  Come on, let’s go.

What are you talking about? We cannot desert our friends.

If we go back there, the three of us could get stuck on this island. Come on.

Leaving Marlena with Megan. She is a homicidal maniac. Do you know that Kate is dead?

Yeah, I know.

Did Megan tell you that? No, I shot her.

Oh my love  You have. Been such a bad boy that I am going to get you back in

Steve.

Megan, I was just on my,

you got that?

That better not hurt her because if it does, I am gonna splatter your grave matter all over. Your lab hurt.

No, no. After I give this injection to Dr. Evans, she is going to make a full recovery. She will be a living testament to my scientific genius.

You killed my wife and now you’re gonna pay for that. I’ve spent so long,

Steve, don’t you wanna catch up?

Keep your hands where I can see ’em.

Why you think I have something up my sleeves?

I think you’re a psychotic bitch who played God with people’s lives.

Such a harsh language patch.

Why don’t you do it?  Why did you let those women die?

Well, I’d love to bring you up to speed on my plans, but actually there are more pressing matters I need to attend to.

You’re not going anywhere except prison for murdering Kayla, Marlena and Kate.

I did not.

You did. Morpheus told us that someone stole that orchid from the Secret Room in your father’s house, and we know it was you.

I might have arranged for it to be stolen.

That’s right. And because of that, all three of them are gone and you are responsible.

I’m afraid you have that quite wrong. I didn’t steal the orchid in order to kill them. I took it to save them.

I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but I’m done listening.

Steve, wait. There’s something you need to know.

What

your sweetness is alive.

Matt? What? What are you saying? You, you shot Katie?

Yeah.

You killed her.

Yeah. Right here.

No, no, no. This has gotta be some kind of sip joke.

No, no joke. Come on, let’s go.

Wait. You know, this isn’t making any sense. First you, you don’t care at all about Marlena, and now you’re telling me that you shot Kate.

Yeah.

You’re serious.

My God.

Paula, could you do something like that?

Why do you care?

Why do I care? Because you took someone’s life, your brother’s wife.

Yeah, she told me she got her hooks back into him.

No, no, no. You know, she made him incredibly happy. They could’ve been re

Oh, conniving, aing manipulative snake. I’ve never shut her damn mouth. You ask me. I did Roman a favor.

Now come on. You don’t mean that.

Yes, I do. I don’t care.

What, what? Well, you don’t care about that. The Kate in it, or you don’t care that your brother may never get over this

either.

Oh my God. Oh God. That’s it. Wasn’t you, it wasn’t you. You, you did not kill Kate.

Yeah, I did.

No you didn’t. No you didn’t. Not not because you wanted to, not. Not on your own free will. Megan Brainwashed.

Oh, Harris was brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. She’s been controlling his mind for years. That’s why he did all of those horrible things last summer.

And so what Now he’s just. All of a sudden magically changed.

He’s been deprogrammed and he went through hell doing it. See, that’s why he’s in the hospital bed because he collapsed after undergoing a very painful course of shock therapy.

You made him do that?

No, I did not. He volunteered. Judicial treatments weren’t working, so he consented to a more dangerous method that could have killed him.  It nearly did kill him and thank God he’s okay.

He’s been completely deed mom.

You don’t know that for sure.

I do know that. I was there. I watched the entire session and I was there and I watched him pretend to be in love with you when he was actually an assassin. Plus, oh my God, home. Please, please wake up.  Just because he got zapped a couple times doesn’t mean that he’s changed. Do you know what Navy sealed training entails? He can withstand anything.

Ciara, I understand that. He told us where he thinks Megan is.

Okay. Those could just be some random coordinates on a map. For all we know, bottom line, this could all be an act and I do not wanna risk the chance that he will hurt you again.  Mom

Ciara. My daughter as this stubborn as her father was, you’re not gonna change your mind.

That’s fine, because I agree with everything she said

we’re well. Before Megan got ahold of him, Michaels was a Navy seal by all counts of real. He. And home beliefs. He’s been Deprogrammed.

Yeah, she was there when it went down. Kimberly wasn’t having any lucks, so he signed up for E C T.

Really?

Yeah. And a bunch of his memories came back, including the location of the facility where he originally underwent the conditioning.  He thinks that’s where Megan could be held up and with any. John and Steve could be closing in on her right now.

I’m surprised you don’t wanna be a part of that. Don’t you wanna find her, bring her back?

Well, I have no doubt that John and Steve can get that done. In the meantime, I’ve uh, Got another job to do.  Matter of fact, I ought start getting going there and got a plane catch.

Okay. Oh, whoa, whoa. Where you going to Lake Cape to rest?

Nothing’s happening, doctor. You sure you got the right stuff in that syringe?

As Einstein shows that e equals mc square.

I don’t know about that, but I am sure that you’re a dead man if she doesn’t start waking up.

John, I sweetheart. Am I dreaming? ?

If you are, I’m in it cuz I’m right here with you, baby.

Hold me. Hold me.

I got, I got you. I.

You know, before Kate got sick again, we talked about taking a honeymoon. So I, I suggested Paris from reel, but uh, her heart was set on the emerald aisle.

And why was that?

Might be hard to believe, but Kate admitted to me that she liked being a breed.

What’s not to like ? Well, we don’t live in mansions. We don’t run billion dollar companies, but we do have people in.

She wanted to know where they came from. She told me that an historian once described us as ego temper and stubbornness mixed with charm, warmth. That would shine through adversity.

Hmm. Sounds a lot like Kate.

Actually. I told her that. I told her that, but in her case I would’ve to add stunningly. Beautiful. Anyway, Austin and Billiw are gonna meet me over there and we will scatter Kate Ashes. Special place and Lucas wishes he could be there too. But, uh, he does understand. I can’t wait for him to get out. And I’m not about to carry this urn around like Anna did for years.

I not, the Tony was alive.

Yeah. As much as I wish the hell left we’re possible. I’m afraid that to outcome it won’t be the same for the women we’ve lost.

Did you hear what I. Kayla is alive

and you’re lying. You’re just waiting for one of your goons to come by and save you. That’s not gonna happen.

Oh, don’t you want to know where your sweetness is?

I know where she is. She’s in her grave. I stood there and washed with our children while they lowered her into the ground.

That wasn’t Kayla.

You better stop talking now.

Look, I know you have no reason to believe me when I say that your wife is still amongst the lady. But don’t you want to see, don’t you want to see for yourself?  Because Kayla’s here, I can prove it. I’ll take you to a right now.

Megan did the same thing to Stephen John last summer. She brainwashed them and they did terrible things.

I don’t follow anyone’s orders.

Look, I can see that you are trying to break free, but, and, and that you’re still working on it, but Megan could still have a hold on you. So we need to go back and get Marlene and she can help you.  Shoot back to the man you used to be.

I don’t want that.

You don’t wanna be the man you were.

No. That man died years ago. No, no, he did.

And you are standing right in front of me and whatever Megan did to you, we can fix it.

There is nothing to fix. I don’t need Marlena. I don’t need anyone.

Oh really? Oh really?

You agree with Ciara?

I, I get where she’s coming from. I mean, I understand why she’s worried. Why, why shouldn’t she be? I terrorized her family.  Look, I, I take responsibility for my actions and really, I’m, I’m grateful that I get a chance to, to apologize to you in.  Ciara, I am. Um, I am truly sorry for what I did to you and your family, and I do not blame you one bit for not wanting me near your.

Honey, remember how, um, how people reacted when you first got together with Ben? Everyone thought, well, especially. Beth, there was absolutely no way he could ever change. But you believe he deserved to cycle? I believe Harris does too.

I’m just, um, I’m really worried about you. I mean, ever since Daddy died, Exactly. Have the best luck in the love department.

I agree with you on that. It’s true. ‘Mm-hmm. Harris and I have decided, um, we’re gonna take one step at a time. We’re gonna take it slow. I promise you, Ciara, you have to recognize he put his life on the line B and d programmed to help me find.

It nearly killed him.

That was very brave of you. Yes. Thank you. Mm-hmm. . So, um, you gave Steve and John Megan’s location that, uh, that map that you found, that’s where you think she is. Yeah. It’s impossible location. Yeah. Okay. Why do we need to hear what they.

So, um, tell me everything. Fill me in. Tell me about Little Bow. How is the Caribbean? No, how big is he? Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Is he sitting first? His mama, mama mom? Yes. What. As you have some news and it is good kind of news. I love a good kind. Mm-hmm. , please tell me right now. All right, so, uh, baby bow is going to be a big brother.

The baby. Yeah. , no pregnant. Oh my gosh. That is not the good kind of news that. What’s the great kind news? My daughter, congratulations.

Seems I a third wheel, so

you should know by. That’s impossible.

Are you sure that you’re okay? I am. Now that you’re here, let get you out this thing. Okay?

You love company.

Megan has been keeping others captive as well. Listen, listen, I, I, I can’t, I can’t even imagine what you went through here, but you survived and, and I’m sure that a lot of what drove you was your feelings for hope. Come on. Had nothing to do with her. Megan saved me. She put me on ice, cured my tumor. The downside from all that is she has this crazy ass fantasy that we belong together.

Oh, that, that’s impossible because you belong with Hope. Ancient history. No. No. Oh, listen, you might have been gone, but the love was still there. It’s, it’s still there. Lord. You stop. What? You’re there just not thinking straight. You want what I want? Has nothing to do with hope or my past. That’s over. No it’s not.

It can never be over Bo. Not when you have a love like that. And I know that because I have the same exact love with Steve. And you know what? When you are lucky enough to be a person on this earth who finds somebody with that kind of connection is, it’s just so powerful. That you, you’ll fight your way back and you will find it again no matter what the obstacles are.

Kayla’s alive too. Yes. And so was Kate. What do you mean was

Megan killed her at, at least that’s what she told us. Think she might have been lying. I don’t know, maybe, but she took Kate out and, and then Kayla and I heard a gunshot. Guns sound good? Mm. Where is Kayla? Hello? She’s probably with Steve right now. Steve is here too. Yeah. He and I split up to look for Megan.

I found her.

Her job, my pleasure.

You’re alive.

So is Kayla

told you? Oh my God. Oh my God.

So, where the hell is she? Huh? Where’s Kayla?

All right. We need to go find Marlena because I know that she could help you. I don’t need Marlena or Hope or my old life that I know for sure that mechanism in your head because the bow that I know would move heaven and earth to get back to hope and his kids. You’re wasting your breath. Nothing. Oh, really?

Oh really? Are you telling me that you don’t care at all about Sierra or Sean Douglas? We need Chuck Co. What about Claire, your granddaughter? What about your grandson?

I have a grandson. Yes, Sierra had a little baby boy and she named him Little Bo. He’s almost a year. I mean, don’t you wanna meet him? Don’t you wanna hold him? I’m telling you, Bo, you look into that precious little boy’s face and you are gonna be madly in love with him.

I promise you make beautiful girl. I am not gonna let you down when this baby is born. Okay, good. Because to have you there at this time would make me very happy.

Me too.

Hey, pretty great, huh? Sure is. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

All right, so I, uh, I should get going. Oh, honey, I love you so much. Oh my gosh. My, this doing such an amazing, amazing surprise. Oh, uh, please give, give Baby Bo and big kiss for me in bed. Of course. And let’s grab dinner before you sell off. Okay. And maybe a couple of desserts. Same cravings. Gosh, of course, of course.

There’s no seafood, of course. Yeah. Oh yeah. So, um, I guess I’ll see you there. Uh, if it’s okay with.

I’d like that.

Kate already tried this. Tried what? Tried what to, did you see if you wanted to meet your grandson? No, she, she went on and on and on about how the real bow was devoted to family and when won. Another chance was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s exactly right. You do love us, all of us. Yeah. But the one person that you have the.

Special close bond with is Sierra, and I can tell you that I bet her biggest wish is that her child will get to know you because she admires you so much. Come on Bo. You have the power to grant that wish. Let’s make it happen.

Where’s Kayla? Where’s my wife? The last I knew she was here, maybe she got restless, found a boat, sailed away. No, Kayla would never leave me. Right on Dr. Rolf Slink. God, right after him. Revive doc. Well, if he’s still lurking around here, I doubt he’ll give me any trouble. All right, let’s have a plan. The plan is you stay here and watch her.

I’m gonna find Caleb and we’ll all go home.

Think about how wonderful it would be to see all the people who love. Who, who have missed you like I have. Have you heard a damn word I’ve said? Excuse me. I don’t wanna see any of those people. And they sure as hell don’t wanna see me. What you talking about? They moved on with their lives. They’re better off thinking I’m dead.

That is not true. True. I’m sick of people gapping at me all the time. I know what I want and I know where I’m going, and that is off of this damn island. And you’re coming with me now. Ah. Leave if you want, but I am staying. I am going to find Marlena.

You’re not going anywhere.

Hey, um, listen, I was thinking maybe I should go along, you know, Maybe I can say a few words. Well, I do appreciate that, but I need somebody here to keep an eye in a place while I’m gone. Are you sure? Yeah, I am sure. All right. Well, you travel safe. Give everyone in my love, Frank will do. Hey, I know this is not easy.

But I want you to know what you’re doing, I think is really beautiful. Well, we’ll keep it short in this week we’ll scatter cays, and then we’ll go raise a glass. Gotta find a, an Irish pub that, uh, serves a good Maree . You know what, I bet when you get back Megan, she’s gonna be in custody I hope. Because whoever killed Key, I’ve looked them in the eye

and let them know that they’re very lucky. I don’t tear their lamb from where.

I love,

well, if this is about Kate, everybody’s gotta understand that Megan brainwashed you. This isn’t about Megan. This is about me and my future. Oh, so hell with everybody else, you’re just going to take off and not look back. We are taking off. No. No, I am not. I am staying. With Marlena, don’t do this. Don’t do what?

Abandon my friend. I’m not doing that. I’m not leaving you here. So Megan can use you as her Guinea pig. Oh. So I should just let Marlena be used as a Guinea pig. I’m not doing it. If you have to go, go. But I am staying here. You are as stubborn as ma ever was. Oh, oh, that makes me proud. So what are you gonna do?

You’re gonna shoot me like you shot Kate

Brady. Women are not usually this way, I have to say. I’m pretty impressed you were able to win over Sierra. I just got her to gimme a chance, that’s all. I’m sorry that she gave you such a hard time in the. But you’re her mom. She wants to protect you. Maybe she needs to. What do you mean? I mean, right now it seems like the deprogramming worked, but what if it didn’t?

I mean, what if, what if? What if I relapse? You won’t. Yeah, we don’t know that.

And until we know for sure, maybe you should just stay away from me. You know? Maybe we shouldn’t. Like hope if I hurt, if I hurt you, Harris. You know, I would’ve thought you would’ve learned by now. I’m more than capable of taking care of myself. Just fine

again, sweetheart. Always I’m that you too would do whatever you had to do to find your way back to each other, wouldn’t you? To be reunited with your one true love? Yes, we would. Than I’m no different from you. Everything I did was for Love. Oh spirits. This is this grand plan of yours, whatever the hell it was just another epic fail.

Cause I’ll tell you how it’s gonna play out. We’re gonna go home and you’re going to prison for life regardless of what you think. I didn’t set out to hurt anyone. I was just trying to mend my broken heart. You don’t have a heart. You prove that when you kill Kate. I didn’t kill her. Kayla. And I heard the.

Perhaps, but I certainly didn’t pull the trigger. Are you saying Ralph pulled the trigger? . He couldn’t shoot a fruit fly, let alone a human being like, who shot key? Oh, wouldn’t you like to know?

Are you here? Sweet.

You

don’t.

I, I really need to get back. Ah, you’ll change your tune once you see where we’re going. , I think this is a really bad idea. This is the first day of my new life. Come on, let’s get you on the boat. Ah.

Oh, ooh, don’t forget salt and pepper. Oh, yes. Mm. Hello? The smell of bacon in the morning. Oh, you dome.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: Thank you very much.

Jill: Wait just one second here. You two are talking? To each other? This is very unexpected.

Lily: I know. I think we both just realized that when two people think they’re right, they stop listening.

Devon: And so I decided to pay attention to what lily was actually asking of me. And I did what I knew our dad would want me to do if he were here.

Lily: And I think we both realized, too, that we were heading down a path where we were really damaging our relationship.

Devon: Yeah. And family is way too important for that. So, as of tonight, I am no longer fighting the merger and I’m going to drop the suit.

Jill: Oh, my god. This is incredible. Oh, I’m so relieved. You know what? We need a special bottle of bubbly. What do you say we send somebody down the cellar and we’ll get a really great vintage?

Devon: Maybe we hold off on that for now.

Jill: What aren’t you telling me?

Lily: Well, he’s dropping the lawsuit, you know.

Devon: Yeah. It hasn’t resolved everything.

Nate: Look. Lily and devon are smiling with each other, all relaxed and maybe even happy.

Elena: They look like themselves again, the way things should be.

Nate: Thank god it happened, but I don’t know what did the trick.

Elena: Well, the only important thing is that they’re on the right path. And now we have something else to celebrate.

[ Glasses clink ] Okay. If those two can make amends and forgive themselves, then…

Nate: Anything’s possible.

Christine: Tonight turned out beautifully.

Nikki: Oh, thank you so much.

Sharon: So, how did things go with victoria and your father?

Adam: Uh, better than expected, actually.

Sharon: Well, that sounds promising.

Adam: I realized how fun it could be when my father and i get along.

Sharon: In what way?

Adam: Well, victoria is jealous. This father and son reunion is killing her. Just seeing her try not to work herself into a frenzy — it’s a gift that keeps giving.

Sharon: Adam…

Adam: I know what you’re gonna say. Okay? And you’re right. We’re not here to celebrate victoria driving herself crazy. Tonight is about genoa city’s bicentennial.

Sharon: That’s right. And as long as we are here celebrating history and fond memories and longevity, here’s to us, best of friends.

Adam: To us.

[ Glasses clink ]

Nina: Is this is where the party is?

Christine: [ Gasps ] Nina!

Nina: [ Laughs ]

Christine: Oh, my gosh, it’s so good to see you. What? No one told me you’d be here.

Nina: Well, I wanted to surprise everybody.

Christine: You look fabulous.

Nina: So do you! Thank you very much.

Christine: Wait, wait, wait. I just — it’s so good to see — I can’t believe you’re here.

Nina: I mean, wild horses weren’t gonna keep me away. I’m part of this town. You can’t celebrate without me.

Christine: That is the truth.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Aww, it’s so good to be home.

[ Laughs ]

Nick: So, how you doing? You cold?

Sally: A little, yeah. But it was totally worth it. The rooftop view is gorgeous.

Nick: It’s nothing compared to what I’m looking at right now.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Sally: You, always with the right thing to say.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Yeah, it makes up for the fact that I’ve been a subpar date.

Sally: Well, you’ve been attentive, courteous.

Nick: Haven’t even asked you to dance yet.

Sally: Well, I thought maybe it had something to do with your abilities.

Nick: Uh, what? Wh– did you just question my abilities as an answer?

Sally: I don’t know. I have heard things.

Nick: Oh, no, no. You — let’s go. It’s on.

Sally: [ Chuckling ] Okay.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Jack, I got to say, this is by far the best bicentennial gala this city has ever seen. In fact, I think I’m going to rsvp for the next one.

Jack: Yeah, you should do that.

Chelsea: Your brother is in full billy abbott mode tonight. I think he’s very pleased with himself over his new job at jabot. Billy told me the good news.

Jack: Oh, yeah. Funny how things work out, huh?

Chelsea: Yeah. This is the start of an exciting new era for your family and jabot.

Jack: Yeah. We hope so.

Billy: You okay?

Jack: Uh, yeah. I-I just have something I have to handle. Will you excuse me, please?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Of course.

Summer: Maybe we’ve been too hard on her, set up too many rules and boundaries, and now she’s telling how proud she is of us? I mean, is this how she acts when she’s at her breaking point?

Daniel: We can’t be the only kids who are freaked out by their mom telling them how proud she is of them, can we?

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: I mean, are we the ones who are in need of repair?

Kyle: I think I need another champagne.

Daniel: You know, I’m gonna see if I can find her and figure out what the heck’s going on.

Summer: Yeah.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Kyle: Hey. Everything okay?

Jack: Yeah. A — a guy crashed into me. He was wearing a mask. Diane and I wondered if it was stark.

Kyle: What? You don’t think he’s here? Did he do something, say something?

Summer: No, he wouldn’t dare.

Jack: Security is already on the lookout.

Kyle: You just let them do their job and you do yours. Make tonight unforgettable.

Jack: You’re right. I got a big announcement to make.

Kyle: Where is your bride-to-be, anyway?

Jack: I wish I knew.

Diane: Kyle? It’s mom! Kyle? Hey, kyle, are you okay?

[ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ] Classic phyllis. I should have known. What are you up to? Because whatever it is, I’m not playing. Just get out of my way.

Phyllis: Not yet.

Diane: We’re done here, phyllis. It’s over.

Phyllis: Oh, believe me, for the first time in your life, you are correct. It is so over. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Christine: It is so good to see you. We’re gonna have a lot of fun.

Nina: I am so excited to see everybody. Of course there’s one vip who I’m just dying to give a big hug to, but it’s past his bedtime.

Christine: Your adorable grandson, dominic.

Nina: Yeah. Chance has him tomorrow, so i have to wait until then to see him, but — I don’t know. Some stupid visitation agreement or something.

Christine: Yeah, no, I know it’s hard. But from what I understand, chance is handling it pretty well. Speaking of which, where is he?

Nina: Oh, he’s on some big stakeout or something? I’m hoping he’ll be here later. Geez. Police work, right? It never ends.

Christine: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I know about that.

Nina: So, where’s paul? What, now that he’s retired, he’s out on the lake fishing all the time?

Christine: Uh, he’s in portugal, spending a bit more time with heather and lucy.

Nina: He had to go now, with all the excitement in town?

Christine: You know paul. Family first.

Victor: Esther, how have you been enjoying the evening so far?

Esther: Oh, my goodness, it’s a delightful night. Honoring neil, the excitement.

Nikki: Oh, we’re so glad you could be here.

Esther: Oh, me too. Mrs. C would have loved every minute of this, from the planning to the designing to greeting every guest at the door.

Nikki: And the very last to leave.

Esther: [ Laughs ] Boy, she sure knew how to throw a party. She brought out the best in people.

Nikki: Mm. I can see her now in an incredible gown, making her way through the crowd.

Esther: Yeah. Every stranger a friend.

Victor: Well, wait a minute. Every stranger was on guard because, as you know — we all know — katherine had a tongue as sharp as a knife, you know?

Esther: Yeah.

Nikki: Endlessly entertaining.

Victor: Yes.

Esther: Yes. It’s almost like she’s here now.

Victor: Yes. I miss katherine. I think we all do.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Cheers to her.

Esther: To mrs. C.

[ Glasses clink ]

Kyle: Uh, aunt traci. Have you seen my mom?

Traci: Kyle. Hi, sweetie. No, no, I haven’T. But you know what? If I do see her, I will tell her that you’re looking for her.

Kyle: Yeah. Thanks.

Leanna: Excuse me. I couldn’t help overhearing

[Inhales sharply] But I think I may be of assistance.

Kyle: What, you’ve seen my mom — diane?

Leanna: She was on her way upstairs after a little chat with [Whispering] Phyllis.

Kyle: Oh, no.

Leanna: Can I ask you something? How’s it been for you having your dad and mother back in your life?

Kyle: Look, I don’t know you, but I take it you never stop looking for trouble.

Leanna: Why would I, my dear? It’s what I do best.

Diane: Tricking me into thinking kyle was sick? You know, that’s a new low, even for you. No wonder you’re alone tonight. You’ve tried for months to unmask me, but the only thing you’ve accomplished is letting everyone get a glimpse of your truly desperate existence.

Phyllis: My goodness, you know so much about me, but you just don’t know when to shut up.

Diane: You’re the problem, phyllis. You couldn’t let it go. And now everyone sees who you really are. So, if you’ll excuse me, my family needs me.

Phyllis: You’re not going anywhere until I say so.

Diane: [ Gasping ]

[ Breathing heavily ] (Wheezing)

Nate: Why are you watching me like that?

Elena: Because everyone thinks you are the most debonair, relaxed man in this room, but they don’t know you like I know you.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] What is the casual observer missing?

Elena: That your mind is working in overtime right now and that you can’t figure out how in the world devon and lily are even in the same room without fighting.

Nate: I don’t care about the method, just the results. And they seem to be on track.

Elena: Well, maybe now you can let go of the guilt and your sense of responsibility that you were feeling when they were fighting.

Nate: And concentrate on other, more pressing concerns.

Elena: For instance?

Nate: You.

Elena: Tell me more.

Nate: I — I keep having these thoughts going around and around in my head. Here you are in this unbelievable dress, and all i can think about is getting you back home.

Elena: Hmm. Sounds like you’re reading my mind.

Nate: But first… may I have this dance?

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Elena: Smooth.

Nate: Why do you seem surprised?

Elena: It’s been a while.

[ Light laughter ]

Billy: Huge turnout.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. Huge.

Billy: You okay? You need anything?

Chelsea: Mm, no, I’m good.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: I’m great. This — this beats staying home and watching old movies any day.

Billy: Good.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah, um…

Leanna: [ Gasps ] Well, look who’s here. Billy abbott. It’s been too long.

Billy: Not long enough.

Leanna: [ Laughs ] Aren’t you going to introduce me?

Billy: Chelsea, this is —

Leanna: Chelsea lawson. I am world-famous journalista leanna love. It’s a pleasure. You have stories, and I want to know them all. What do you say to carving out a few minutes for me? We should talk. What’s the #1 retinol brand

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Kyle: Hey, babe.

Summer: Hey. Any luck finding diane?

Kyle: Nothing.

Summer: Jack sent a text and he didn’t hear back, so we need to track her down.

Kyle: And leanna saw my mom going upstairs after talking to your mother.

Summer: Upstairs where?

Kyle: She’s not on the roof. Maybe a suite?

Summer: Kyle, I — I was thinking, we haven’t seen my mom in a while, either, not since the speeches. And now they’ve both disappeared?

[ Sighs ]

Diane: [ Chuckling ] Oh. Should I take off my diamonds and heels so we can have a good old-fashioned catfight? Is that what you want?

Phyllis: No. No. You’re not worth the trouble, diane.

Diane: Yeah, and you’re not worth my time. You see, there’s an incredibly handsome man downstairs who adores me, and he is minutes away from making an announcement that will change our lives forever.

Phyllis: Unless he’s gonna tell everybody what a manipulative bitch you are, I’m not interested.

Diane: You will be. Phyllis, you have spent so much energy trying to get me out of your life. But guess what. I’m not going anywhere.

Phyllis: Oh, that is right. You are not going anywhere… until you listen to what i have to tell you.

Adam: You should go in the lounge and kick up your heels, sharon.

Sharon: Yeah. The music’s great, isn’t it?

Adam: [ Laughs ] I know how much you love to dance. You know, there’s a lot of potential dance partners out there. Unless you are, uh, waiting for someone in particular?

[ Laughter ]

Traci: Oh, nina. I hope this evening never ends. All these familiar faces all together.

Nina: It really has been wonderful, hasn’t it? I mean, I just love catching up with everyone.

Traci: Everyone?

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Well, there’s just, you know, one or two people I don’t need to see.

[ Both laugh ] But so far, it’s been fun.

Traci: I actually find it kind of entertaining to run into the people I don’t need to see.

Abby: It wasn’t even his umbrella!

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Nina? I think I might have lost you.

Nina: I’m sorry. Just random work thoughts.

Traci: Oh, really? Are you writing anything interesting?

Nina: As a matter of fact, I am. It’s about an overprotective mother who’s obsessed with her son, who, on the most exciting night of the year, has decided to skip the party because he’s afraid to run into the last woman he loved because she shredded his heart. He’s such a good soul. He deserves to be happy. But he probably blames himself for what happened.

Traci: Um, this sounds a little specific.

Nina: You know, I’m sorry. I’m just figuring out chance may not be on a big stakeout at all. I think he skipped this gala to avoid her.

Daniel: [ Laughing ] That’s the one!

Abby: That’s it!

Daniel: That’s it!

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Abby. Look, I know their breakup was really shocking, but I thought they were getting along.

Nina: Yeah, well, chance probably made it look that way because he’s such a good person, but she broke his heart. She hurt him. He didn’t deserve that.

Nikki: No, of course he didn’T.

Nina: I think I’ve got some things to say to her.

Traci: Uh, nina, right now? I mean, seriously. Everyone is having a wonderful time. Do you think that’s wise?

Nina: I came a long way to get here. I am so not interested in being wise.

Daniel: Thank you!

Nina: I’m gonna go talk to her.

Daniel: I’ll take any chance I get to laugh these days.

[ Laughs ]

Abby: Oh, no.

Daniel: Oh, no, what? Oh, no.

Nina: Daniel, would you mind if I had a few words with abby? Alone. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Jill: Devon, what are you saying?

Devon: I’m saying that lily and I still have a lot to figure out just ’cause we still have very different approaches to the way we do business.

Lily: I think what devon is too polite to say is that it’s gonna take him a while to trust me again.

Devon: Well, no. Listen. The most important thing here is you and you being in my life. So, moving forward, if there’s anything that could possibly jeopardize our relationship, it has to be gone.

Jill: Am I hearing you right? Are you telling me that you would consider walking away from chancellor-winters?

Lily: Well, let’s just give devon some time to think about things, right? I mean, this is all happening really fast.

Jill: So, would tomorrow be too soon?

[ Laughter ]

Devon: How about we take one step at a time?

Jill: Well, can you blame me for wanting to get back to the fun stuff? You know, the buying, the selling, the taking over the world?

Devon: Yeah, no, I can’t blame you at all, jill.

Jill: Seriously, thank you so much for agreeing to end this hideous chapter. And then we can all start a new one, right?

Devon: I’d say so.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Cheers to that.

Jill: Cheers to that.

Lily: Cheers. [ Chuckles ]

Nina: How could you?

Abby: I never meant —

Nina: No, really. Please explain to me what chance ever did to make you think that he deserved to be treated like that.

Abby: Nothing. Chance didn’t do —

Nina: You know, when I heard it, I thought, “no, it’s a lie.” It couldn’t be true. How could it be? You were the one who refused to believe the stories of his death when he was overseas. And you went there and you found him and you brought him back to his son and to his family, just to break his heart?

Abby: That was never my intention.

Nina: Oh, you didn’t mean to destroy his dreams of having a family with you? Well, that’s nice to hear. I’d hate to think what hell you would unleash if you meant to hurt him.

Abby: I loved chance with all of my heart.

Nina: No, except the part that slept with devon. Devon! Dominic’s biological father. It’s like you went out and you found the one person to hurt chance the most.

Abby: It wasn’t like that.

Nina: No?

Abby: No. And, look, I am sorry. I will forever be sorry for the pain that I caused chance. He didn’t deserve that.

Nina: I really hope that he gets past what you did to him because I never will.

Never.

Sharon: If I want to ask someone to dance, I will do so. I don’t need you to do it for me.

Adam: Of course not. But time is passing away. I just thought maybe you were waiting for gcpd’s number-one detective.

Sharon: Chance? Yeah. You know, I — I thought he was gonna be here tonight.

Adam: I’m sure he’ll be here soon.

Sharon: Are you trying to set me up?

Adam: What? I’m not. But if you need a wingman, here I am.

Sharon: And you think it would be with chance? Chance was rey’s partner and someone who loved him. Yeah, he’s really handsome and attractive. So, maybe in another lifetime — I don’t know — I would let you play the role of the wingman, um, but we’re just friends. That’s it.

Adam: Okay. I hear you. And I will back off. I just — I think you deserve…

Sharon: What? Romance?

Adam: You deserve to be happy, sharon. And, yes, you have a big, full life, absolutely, but…

Sharon: No “buts.” I do. I am happy. I mean, maybe some people think my life is a little bit quiet, but, trust me, I have had enough drama and chaos to last me a lifetime. A little peace and quiet suits me just fine right now.

Adam: Mm. Then I stand corrected.

Sharon: And, besides, soon I’m gonna have aria, and that will make things interesting — and loud.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: I’m gonna have someone interesting and loud of my own in a few months, too.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Well, I think it’s — it’s important to be grateful for what you have and not stay fixated on what you don’T. I think that’s the key to happiness.

Devon: God, I wish he was here. He would love this place so much.

Lily: He would. What do you think he would say if he were here right now?

Devon: Oh. “Turn up the music”?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Oh, my god.

Devon: Right?

Lily: He would. He also would say that the picture is really good, but that he’s definitely more handsome in person.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: You know that, right?

Devon: Yeah. And then he would probably ask you to dance…

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: …And then tell you how proud he is of both of us.

Lily: Family wins over everything.

Devon: Always.

Leanna: Chelsea, if memory serves, you are adam newman’s ex. Oh, there’s been a nick newman interlude or two, and now you’re here with billy abbott. And what do I recall about a bride being left at the altar? Huh! What a tangled web we weave.

Billy: No one’s weaving anything here, leanna.

Leanna: Does this run in the family? Because I know that jack recently went into his treasure trove of love affairs for his latest paramour.

Billy: Don’t you have anything better to do?

Leanna: Uh…no. Tell me more about you. No more podcasting, said goodbye to fashion design. What’s next for chelsea lawson, huh?

Chloe: E-excuse me. Excuse me.

Chelsea: I…

Chloe: Hi. Okay. We’re done here. We are happy to answer questions later, when hell freezes over. Come on.

Billy: This room is full of people. Go find someone else to annoy.

Chelsea: You’re here. You came.

Chloe: Yeah. It’s a good thing I did. You were lost in the headlights.

Chelsea: Thank you. I…

[ Sighs ] I can always count on you, can’t I?

Chloe: Yeah, damn right you can.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: Hey. You okay?

Chloe: Hey, where were you, billy? Come on. What are you doing? You’re supposed to be protecting our girl here and not let that reporter badger her.

Billy: Yeah, I-I should have cut that off sooner. I apologize.

Chloe: No, see, the problem is you were taught to be polite to them, and I just don’t have that issue.

Billy: No. No, you do not.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Okay. I’m really sorry. I have to get going. I have to keep my mother from embarrassing herself. You just can’t take her anywhere. Holler if you need me.

Chelsea: I will.

Chloe: It just never ends.

Billy: Sorry about that. I-I apologize. You okay? Can I get anything for you?

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] I’m okay.

Billy: Chelsea, the only thing that’s gonna ruin my night is if I have to go back in there without you, okay? That’s the way it’s gonna be. You go, I go.

Christine: Was that really necessary?

Nina: Very much so.

Christine: Confronting her like that? You are the last person I would ever expect to do that.

Nina: Hey, if you don’t think abby needed a talking-to, i don’t know what to say.

Christine: No, no, no, that’s not what I’m saying.

Nina: Well, good.

Esther: So, miles wanted me to be mother goose, but then bella thought that I shou– uh, why do I get the feeling that you’re not listening to me anymore?

Chloe: Oh, mom. You know, I love your stories about bella and miles, but i think that’s because they’re my kids.

Esther: Chloe, honey, we are celebrating our town’s heritage and history. And who’s part of that history? Me. And if I want to brag about those brilliant children…

Jill: I think that i distinctly heard the voice of someone stirring up trouble.

Nina: Just the aftermath.

Jill: Oh! Even better! Come on. Tell me everything. Did you lay into abby?

Nina: That girl’s behavior is completely unacceptable. And that’s all I’ve got to say about it.

Jill: [ Laughs ]

Nina: What? Am I missing something?

Christine: Well, mm, the irony, perhaps.

Nina: What?

Jill: No, well, maybe if you, like, flip back a few chapters in genoa city history, you’ll come across the story of phillip chancellor the third.

Christine: Who was my boyfriend.

Chloe: Ooh, I like this.

Jill: Yes, you’re gonna like this. You seduced him and gave birth to his child.

Nina: Yes, well, I’m aware. It’s just — you know, it’s not the same thing. The situations are completely… yeah, you’re right.

Jill: [ Laughs ]

Nina: Sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Esther: You were a fright when you lived with mrs. C.

Jill: I didn’t think anybody could drive her up the wall the way I did.

Nina: Well, my point is that I love both of my phillipps, and I believe I have displayed extraordinary growth, personally and morally.

Christine: Yes, you have.

Nina: Thank you. And, yes, there have been a few bumps along the way, but I got here. Isn’t that what counts?

Jill: Hey, girls, here’s to the bumps that led us all here.

Nina: Hear, hear!

Chloe: Hear, hear.

Christine: Cheers.

[ Laughter ]

Jack: Hey. Still no sign of diane?

Kyle: No mom, no phyllis. Anything?

Summer: I spoke with the front desk and I finally got him to admit that there is a room registered under my mom’s name.

Kyle: Why would she book a room?

Summer: I don’t know. Maybe she wanted to crash after the party.

Jack: They have both been gone quite a while.

Kyle: Leanna said she saw mom going upstairs after talking to phyllis.

Jack: We better get up there now.

Kyle: Yeah.

Phyllis: The only worthwhile thing about you, diane, is your son, but the rest of you? Nothing. You’re disgusting. You’re a criminal, diane.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You are throwing stones from a glass house.

Phyllis: Oh, my god! You let me take the fall for burning down the pool house years ago. I was in jail. It didn’t matter to you. You got off scot-free. Let’s not forget, I was on the long list of suspects in your presumed murder.

Diane: And what? What? What, phyllis? What? You want to — you want a do-over? You want a blanket apology for the last 20 years?

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Look at you. Look at you, still not taking responsibility. “Oh, I pretended my death, but here I am, everybody! Oh, no big deal, no big deal!” Why didn’t you stay dead? Why?! Why are you not dead?

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I’ll tell you why. Because you were erased from our memory. Erased. We forgot about you. You didn’t matter to us. So you don’t matter. And I killed you. So you had to come back and take everything that was mine.

Diane: I wasn’t thinking about you at all.

Phyllis: You were thinking about me all the time. I am the only one who sees through your act. And I am the only one who will continue to see through everything that you do. I don’t buy these fake tears and this reformed act. It is a lie. And you are terrified that I am gonna expose your latest con, aren’t you?

Terrified of me.

Diane: Ha!

Phyllis: And you should be terrified of me. So you tried to take away everything that was mine and everything that I loved.

[ Breathes deeply ] Jack. My job.

[ Voice breaking ] My relationship with my daughter. The respect that my son had for me. And you tried to leave me with nothing.

Diane: You poor, delusional woman.

Phyllis: Don’t you dare pity me. You know who I pity? I pity the people that you’ve lied to and the people that you will betray in a few months. And that is jack, kyle, and that sweet little harrison. See, because eventually you’ll expose yourself and this mask will fall and they will be left with you, the psychotic, despicable lunatic that you are. And they will wish that you are six feet under. They will wish and they will look at you with disgust!

Diane: That’s enough. There is only one evil bitch in this room, and I am looking right at her. Remember the things you loved

Victor: Jill.

Jill: Ah!

Victor: My goodness.

Jill: I’ve come to say farewell, victor. It’s been wonderful seeing everyone. Well, almost everyone.

Victor: What’s the matter? You leaving us already?

Jill: Yes. This evening has already proved to be more than I could have ever dreamed of.

Victor: Really?

Jill: Mm.

Victor: Did I have anything to do with your change of fortune?

Jill: Yes, you did.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Jill: The money that you invested in chancellor-winters has already paid off. Devon is dropping the lawsuit.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: That happened sooner than I had thought.

Jill: I agree with you. It did. But the merger stays in place. Now, whether or not he stays or walks away from it, whether or not he buys mccall or he turns tucker down the way you want him to, that’s all still in question.

Victor: Huh. Well, well, well, well. But you know that in business I have a lot of patience.

Jill: I know you do.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: That’s crazy.

[ Both laugh ]

Adam: I miss this. You know, not just the relationship or the romance, but the, uh, friendship.

Sally: I miss our friendship, too. You saw things in me that no one else ever did.

Adam: No, I could see how amazing you were from the moment we met.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: How you doing? Mwah.

Abby: Wait, I was looking for you. Is everything okay?

Devon: Yeah. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I was gonna step out, but lily and I had some things we needed to say to each other.

Abby: Good things, I hope?

Devon: Yeah. Really good things, actually. We had a long talk and we forgave each other for everything we’ve been going through and I’ve decided to stop fighting the merger.

Abby: Wait. So, the lawsuit…

Devon: Doesn’t exist.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s incredible. I know that wasn’t easy for you.

Devon: Yeah. I mean, it’s like lily said. We’ve been through rough times before. So, I know we can get through this.

[ Laughter ]

Daniel: You’re gonna have to repeat yourself. Uh, between the music and the alcohol, I must have misunderstood.

Lily: No, you heard me. Jill canceled the ipo and devon dropped the lawsuit.

Daniel: That’s incredible!

Lily: Yeah!

Daniel: You got a reset!

Lily: [ Laughs ] I know! I mean, we have to do a lot more work on our relationship, but I’m happy.

Daniel: No, you’re both willing to try. I mean, that’s all that matters.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: I’d say you had a pretty good day.

Lily: I did have a good day.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: You know what would make it better?

Daniel: Hmm?

Lily: If you dance with me.

Daniel: [ Clears throat ] Well…

Lily: Uh-oh.

[ Laughs ]

[ Glass thuds ]

Daniel: Liquid courage. Be careful of what you ask for.

[ Mid-tempo jazz music playing ]

Diane: Ever since I came back, you have tried to blame me for your reckless, self-destructive behavior. You know, jack and I are sick to death of your pathetic attempts to paint yourself as the hero or the victim when you’re clearly the villain. The only way you can elevate yourself is by dragging everyone else down, and it is a disgusting, despicable compulsion.

[ Scoffs ] Your family is embarrassed by you. And your friends? Ha! Look around. Look around. Where are they? You have used up every last bit of patience and goodwill that they had for you, and now you’re alone. You did this! You drove everyone away! You are the reason that your life is such a dismal failure! And if you can’t get out of your own way, then just get the hell out of mine.

Phyllis: No, you’re not going anywhere. Oh! You bitch.

Diane: Ohh!

Phyllis: Bring it! Bring it! Bring it! Ah! Ahhhh!

Diane: I should do the world a favor and strangle you to death!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Door opens] – What do you know? There goes victor’s latest stooge. – Well, robert. What a nice surprise. What brings you to the metro court this evening? – After all these years, I have come too far– oh, no, no, no, no, no. I will not be denied again.

[Phone rings] – It’s the da’s office. I’m in the middle of a meeting. I already told you, I need more time before I get back to the office. – Time’s up! Get out, now. – I’m sorry. I can’T. – Eileen– – what’s going on? – Oh, my god, she’s going to blow up the whole operation. Eileen, is victor not letting you leave? – No, you can wait for me. – Whatever it is that you’re thinking, don’T. – I can’t really talk right now, but don’t worry. When I get there, I will have all the answers you need, and we won’t have to meet again. – Eileen? Oh, my god, she hung up. – You think he’s on to her? – I don’t know. Ok, I’m calling her again. Oh, god.

[Line trilling] – I’m so sorry for the interruption.

[Phone rings] That won’t happen again. Putting my phone on silent. – Look, you might as well leave, eileen. You– you’ve done your part. – Victor, I don’t want to leave you unhappy. Can’t I do something… to make you feel better?

[Knock at door] – I have the information you were waiting for. – Oh, come in. Not here. Follow me.

[Suspenseful music] – [Sighs]

[Knock at door] – Come on, maxie. Answer my text. Answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer me! Oh! – Hello, lucy. How are you tonight? – Um, I’m– I’m good. Uh, well, that is, if your daughter would just answer my texts. – Oh, maxie’s diligent about responding to text messages. Unless, of course, she’s in a meeting and she can’T. – Unless, of course, she’s choosing not to answer me.

[Sighs] Oh! – There’s that. Anna, valentin, what’s going on? – Eileen’s delivered the counterfeit necklace to victor, but now she’s refusing to pick up the phone. – Do you thing he’s on to her? – It’s impossible to say, but we’re afraid eileen’s gone rogue. – She’s putting herself, us, the whole operation in jeopardy.

[Muffled pop music] – Cam, what the hell? I know this is your party, but– – it’s his party, yes. He’s the man of the hour. Hey, cam. – Hi, grandma. – Good to see you. – I know my, uh, guests are unexpected. – Esme, welcome. – Um, for the record, this wasn’t my idea. Cameron invited me. – This is my son’s going-away party. He can invite anyone he wants. Hi. It’s nice to see you outside of spring ridge. – Well, I don’t respond well to being locked up. As you know.

[Tense music] – Yes, the nurses’ ball is officially sold out. But you’ve been so generous to the hospital, I will see what I can do about squeezing in a party of four. Ok.

[Sighs] – Brook lynn, your list of performers is fantastic. You have totally outdone yourself. What a great lineup! – I agree, brook lynn. You did such a fantastic job recruiting people. – Thank you. Well, now on to the hard part. What order do they perform in? – Everybody knows this is for a great cause, so I think they’ll just put their egos aside. They’ll accept whatever order we come up with. – How do people hear something is sold out and still expect to get tickets? I have to add another table. – Where? We have to stick with the fire code. – I’m sure I can figure something out.

[Phones rings] Oh. Maxie. – Why are you ignoring my texts? And– and what are you hiding? What are you doing to my show? – Hello again. Let me go someplace more private. – Ok. Show order. Let’s start with the easy calls. Uh, gh doctors and nurses will start, obvs. But then what? – The second and third acts can’t be from gh nurses, since they’ll need time to change. – Right. The nurses will be a good emotional beginning. But then the next act, it really needs to grab the audience’s attention. It has to be exciting, you know, have sex appeal. What act sends the message that you are in for the night of your life, and you don’t want to miss a single minute?

[Dramatic music]


– This is not what we agreed to. Text only, no more phone calls. – Maxie. Maxie, listen to me. I’m sorry. I really am not trying to micromanage you. It’s just, you don’t know what it feels like to be stuck in this safe house. Oh, with the nurses’ ball– my baby– is going on without me. – And I hear that, but I can either talk to you or get the nurses’ ball going. I can’t do both. – Well, that’s where you’re wrong. I have an idea. – Bobbie, I’m here for my rehearsal. – Oh, felix is running rehearsals right next door. – Thank you. – Chase, you’re here. Great. Uh, did you bring a copy of your song lyrics for the director? – I did. – Oh, great. Um, where’s blaze? I figured you two would show up together. – Oh, I’m sorry. She texted me and said she couldn’t make it tonight. – What? This is her final rehearsal. She can’t just wing it on the big night. – I’ll just– I’ll go over the routine with her. I’ll make sure she knows it. Blaze is a total pro. It’ll go off without a hitch. – From your lips. – Whatever’s going on with you and chase, he is clearly not indifferent to you. Don’t give up hope. – Trust me, there’s no hope. Chase made that very clear to me yesterday.

[Sighs] – Diane, always a pleasure. What brings you here? – Oh, I just finished a painfully boring dinner with an out-of-town client. What about you? – Well, I’m due to meet a contact here for a drink, but I– starting to think I’ve been stood up. – I don’t buy that for a second. – Esme, don’t make me regret bringing you. And do not talk to my mom like that. – It’s ok. She was just speaking her truth. Again, I am sorry for everything.

[Baby cooing] – My mom just apologized. I feel like you should acknowledge that. Remember what you were saying earlier about wanting to be a better person? – I am sorry, elizabeth, and I do appreciate your apology. But I really think that I should just go. It’s pretty obvious no one wants me here. – Ok, because of your past, esme. You have to try to show people that you’re a changed person. There is a life for you here. You just got to try. – Why don’t you hand me your diaper bag, and I’ll help you get settled in. – Ok. – Over here. – So tell me what happened. – Well, I might have been walking to your apartment, and I might have caught esme trying to walk through the front door. – Oh, ok. And I am guessing that she wasn’t just going for a walk. – You know what, she actually tried to convince me otherwise. But after some grilling, she later admitted that she was trying to leave town for good with ace. I eventually talked her down, but i didn’t want to chance leaving her alone, so I brought them here. – Thank you. – I’m going to have a quick chat with esme about trying to take off with my little brother. – Spencer, no. Not now. Not here. – Cameron webber! I can’t believe that you’re headed to stanford. This town won’t be the same.

[Baby fussing] What the hell is esme doing here? – Um, what happened to jake and aiden? – Cam told me that their family is going to have a special goodbye breakfast for him on the day he leaves. – Oh. I didn’t know. God, it’s just so weird to see esme with a baby. They need to get that poor kid the hell away from her as soon as possible. Memory or no memory, she’s still bad news. – So we called eileen’s cell, she picked up, and then she refused to leave victor’s room. – Do you think she’s double-crossed us? – I don’t know. I don’t think so. She said that she would be able to get us all the answers that we need. Oh, my god, do you know what she’s doing? She’s going after the decryption key. – Well, that’s good. Because we already have the real ice princess necklace, complete with correct code. If she can deliver the decryption key, then we don’t have to follow victor. We’ll be one step ahead. – I don’t know. People who think they’re one step ahead of victor cassadine have a tendency of getting stabbed in the back.

[Tense music] – I thought we weren’t going to be interrupted again. – I didn’t know how long you two were going to take, and my real job is very demanding. – Oh, you work for me. That’s the only job that’s important, remember? Your very life depends on it. – I’m well aware. But I do have a meeting that I have to go to with the zoning board, so– – you will leave when I say you can leave. You’re not done yet.

[Ominous music]


[Muffled pop music] – Epiphany, why aren’t you calling me back? – I knew my grandmother shouldn’t have left esme alone. – You don’t have to watch her every single second. – I can sure as hell try. – I have a better idea. Since esme can’t remember her past, she’s like a blank slate. Can we at least try to coexist with her? – You want me to be nice to her? After everything that she’s done? – I didn’t say that. But we can at least try to turn down the overt hostility. – I really screwed things up with chase. – You sure? Tell me what happened. – Tell me, brook lynn, if you signed that non-disclosure agreement so that I could stop singing and I could be a cop– if you were so convinced that you were doing the right thing, that you were doing it for me– then why wouldn’t you just tell me? Why make up some story about writing advertising jingles for linc? I’ll tell you why. Because you knew I would be angry, and you knew that what you did was wrong. But you were right about one thing. You’re not the person I thought you were. – I blew it. Epic fail. There is no going back. – Brook lynn, what’s wrong? – Nothing. Let’s, uh, figure out the show order. – Well, I think we should just start at the end and work backwards. – [Scoffs] Bobbie, you would say something like that. That is ridiculous. Maxie, don’t listen to her. – So maxie, are you going to be the one to announce how much money we made and say good night? – No, no. I think someone from gh should do that. – Oh. – It won’t be the same without lucy. I miss her. – It’s funny, I feel like lucy is right here in the room with us. – I miss you too, sasha. So much. You are a good egg. – But since lucy isn’t here to be the mistress of ceremonies, there’s really one possible choice. It has to be you, bobbie. – (Screaming) no! – I mean, who would stand up robert scorpio? – [Chuckles] Well, it’s a business meeting. I mean, not a date. – [Laughs] I still find it criminal that two people such as ourselves are working at this hour. – Oh, come on. You’re killer miller. You’re never off the clock. – [Laughs] Well, I wouldn’t say never. But I’d be happy to put it all aside if I got the right offer.

[Phone ringing] – Excuse me. This is my business contact. I got to take this one. You know, justice never sleeps. – Right. Have a good night. – What’s up? – Eileen is still with victor. You need to go in there and get her out. – I’m on it.

[Suspenseful music] – Well, hello again. – I thought you were leaving. – I was, but alexis called. She’s still working late. Wants me to meet her for dessert upstairs. So come on, I’ll ride up with you. – Hm. – I still don’t have the information my brother mikkos engraved onto the ice princess. – I brought you the necklace. The decryption key failed you, not me. You said so yourself. – Regardless, I need more time. I need you to return this necklace to the pcpd secure locker room, so no one will know it went missing. That’ll give my people time to work on the decryption key, see where we went wrong. – I only am sorry you couldn’t crack the code. I truly was hoping this would all be finished tonight. – I promise you, eileen, you’ll be done with this very soon. There’s just one more thingI need you to do for me.

[Tense music]


– (On phone) no, I’m not sure I should be the one to close the nurses’ ball. What about elizabeth, or felix, or deanna? – Finally, you actually said something right, bobbie. It definitely should not be you! – (On phone) true, they’re all nurses. But this is the 60th anniversary. You have been at the hospital the longest, and you’re co-chair of the nurses’ ball. – [Sighs] You know what, sasha? You really don’t need to be quite so literal. I mean, I wasn’t even a candy striper and I represented gh just fine. Anybody but bobbie. Why bobbie? Not bobbie spencer, ok? The– the ball needs to end with a bang, not a whimper! – Stop it! – Maxie, you all right? – Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I’ll shut up. Mm. I’m– mm. Shut up. – I’m– I’m sorry for yelling.

[Laughs nervously] It’s just all this talk about lucy, it’s creating this relentless chatter in my head, telling me that the nurses’ ball is not going to be good this year. – Cut yourself some slack, maxie. You are working so hard. We all are. The ball is going to be great. – I agree with sasha. I’ve worked a lot of balls with lucy, and I know what she would want. – That’s right, felix. You tell them. – I think lucy would be behind you 100%, bobbie. – Et tu, felix? No. Please, anyone but bobbie! – You know what, felix? I agree with you. I just need to tell that annoying voice in my head to shut up. – Maxie? Maxie?

[Stammering] Maxie? Come back. Come back!

[Squeals] – Laura, esme and the baby are staying with you? I know you like to take risks, but i think that’s a little crazy. – I know, I know. It– the thing is, esme’s baby is completely innocent. And it’s my grandchild, and I feel like I need to protect him. – What– what the hell is this? – Club soda. – Where’s the vodka? I mean, cameron’s underage, but I’m not. – I take it liesl’s still mad at you? – Yeah. I went to her apartment and she threw all my suits in the hallway. There was actually people trying them on. – [Laughs] – Scott, I’m really sorry I’ve caused this rift between you and liesl. – It is not your fault, elizabeth. Not your fault, ok? So how did the ethics committee go? – I got reinstated. – Ok, good! You get to keep your job. – But I’m worried i may have lost a friend. – I thought you were heading upstairs for a drink? – Well, plans changed. She now wants to meet in her room. – Well, if your contact is staying here in the hotel, why were you waiting for her in the lobby?

[Muffled country music] – Um, my arm fell asleep. – Try switching arms every once in a while. – Oh. That’s better, thanks. – So you met spencer in boarding school. You didn’t ever babysit before that? – I have no idea. I mean, I don’t remember anything before I woke up at gh. – Right. Sorry. – Um, I– I heard about what I did to you in the past, the revenge porn. But I swear, I don’t have any memory of doing it, or even know why that I would. – Yeah. That’s what you keep saying. – And I honestly hope that I never remember. I mean, I don’t want to be that person. I– I just want to be a good mom to ace. It’s important to me that i set a good example for him. I mean, that’s all that matters to me now. – Victor cassadine has a room on this floor. Is that why you’re here? – You should get back on the elevator and go and find alexis. – Uh-huh. What has victor done now? – Actually, it’s eileen ashby I’m looking for. – The deputy mayor?

[Knocks] – Victor, open up! – You sure victor’s in there? – Well, he was five minutes ago. – Maybe victor has left the building. – I just hope he hasn’t left a corpse behind. – A corpse? Well, this is getting good. So what are you going to do now? – Well, I’m going to kick in the door. And you– you’re going to find alexis. – Hm. – What do you know? And that’s never worked before. Hm. – Why hasn’t robert called us back? – I don’t know. He’s in the middle of something, or there’s no update. – Eileen can’t still be with victor. – Just worried that she’s pushed him too hard, you know? Victor was already suspicious of her, and maybe now he’s realized that she’s working against him. – Well, if he knows, then we’re done. Because eileen would turn on us in a heartbeat. – Or maybe she saw an opportunity, and she jumped on it. If she can get victor’s decryption key, then that’s going to make things a lot easier for us. – If we still have the real necklace, then we have the advantage. – Yeah. – Because victor needs it. He’s been looking for it for a long time. He can’t move forward without it. – I just hope he hasn’t decided that eileen is standing in his way. – [Sighs] – I thought you were going to kick the door down. – Yeah. Well, I suddenly remembered I wasn’t 25 anymore. – Allow me. – Where’d you get that? – I found a maid, i borrowed her master key, and the city needs to reimburse me $40. – Stay back. – Ok.

[Lock beeps]

[Ominous music]


– Ok. Thanks for the update. Yeah. – Well? – [Sighs] Robert got into victor’s room. Neither of them were there. It was empty. – How’d they get past robert? – I don’t know. I mean, service elevator or something? He said there was no sign of a struggle. – So eileen went with him willingly. – Either that, or they overpowered her and took her out back in a laundry cart. – Oh, it doesn’t do us any good to assume the worst. Where do you think victor took her? – I don’t know. I mean, it all depends on whether eileen blew her cover or not. – Bobbie, I think you are the perfect person to end the ball. – Well, I am honored, really. But there are other nurses deserving of that honor. – What if it causes friction? I mean, whoever we ask, someone else is bound to feel slighted. – I don’t really think we have to worry about that. Ok, what the heck. Maybe I should do it anyway. – What changed your mind? – If anything could bring lucy back from the grave, it would be seeing me up on that stage instead of her.

[Laughter] – I’ve been trying to reach epiphany, but no luck. – I told elizabeth I think that she’s probably just really busy. She’s probably having the time of her life checking out johns hopkins’ campus. – I just can’t help but feel she’s avoiding me. – I don’t think that’s epiphany’s style. – Yeah, I agree with laura here. Because you know, she’s a straight shooter. I know that from personal experience with epiphany. – I’m sure when she gets back to town, you’ll hear from her. – I hope so. – You ok? – Terrific. I’m the one who should be leaving town, not you. – Well, I think that you’re better off here. Esme, where would you go? You can’t raise ace by yourself. – I mean, charlie’s is full of people, but I’m still on my own. – It doesn’t have to be that way, esme. It’s your choice. – Ok. So for your song, chase, what kind of lighting are you looking for? – Well, it’s a love song, so I figured keep it simple. – Really? Because in my book, there’s nothing simple about love. I do know someone who might have some ideas, though. Hey, brook lynn. – Hey. – We need your $0.02. – About what? – How do you feel about love? – Why did you bring me here? – I like privacy for these kinds of things. – What kind of thing?

[Screams] What the– what are you doing? Oh– – [Clicking tongue] Oh, this doesn’t belong to you, eileen. I wonder why I shouldn’t just kill you right now? – Because I know things. – Such as? – Valentin and anna aren’t dead. They’re alive, and in port charles.


– I need some direction here– for lighting, for set design. So let’s get to the basics. Is it a sad love song or a happy one? – I’d say it’s a happy one, filled with love and optimism. – Is it, though? The lyrics are full of yearning. – And passion. – What you had, but lost. – I mean, is it ever really lost? Chemistry doesn’t fade away. – No, chemistry doesn’t fade away. But it can take a wrong turn, and then where are you? You’re lost. – Hoping to be found again. – So lighting for lost and found. I can do that.

[Wistful music] – I can help you look. You’ve just got to tell me what we’re looking for. – Ok. Well, it turns out eileen was working with victor. We had a little talk to her, convinced her to change sides. However, loyalty is not eileen’s strong point. We’re concerned that she may have panicked and told victor everything. – What did victor do? – He killed luke spencer. – My son is alive? And anna? But what about lucy? – She’s alive, too. They’re all hiding out in town. – Where? – I don’t know. A safe house. They always blindfolded me when they brought me there. The first time, felicia scorpio brought me. Another time, it was robert scorpio. – Why steal this if the decryption key didn’t work? – Because the key wasn’t the problem. The necklace I gave you was a fake. Please, I– I didn’t want to do it. They threatened me. Wait, wait, wait! They have the real necklace, and I can get it for you. I– I will do anything i can to make this right.

[Phone rings] – I want to ignore this, but it could be nurses’ ball business. Hello? – Hey. I– I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. Please don’t hang up. Don’t– don’t hang up. I swear to you, I will be quiet as a mouse. – I am so sick of you trashing any idea that is not yours. We are all working our butts off here. – I know. I– I know. I’m sorry. It’s just I care too much, that’s all. – You have to trust me to do what’s right. – I do. I– I do. You are great. But please, bobbie cannot host in my place. – No one is taking your place. We all agreed no one person can fill your shoes, so we’re going to have different gh staff members introduce various acts. – Uh, did you not learn anything from the daisy awards? That– that really is a terrible idea. – Call me again, and I’m blocking your number for good. Goodbye.

[Beeps]

[Sighs] – The problem is, now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir. Not while there’s a breath left in my body. – Come on, spencer. It’s not that bad. We both know that grandmother won’t let anything bad happen to ace. – Oh, I wasn’t thinking about my brother. No, I was just thinking about how when you leave town, no one’s going to be here to keep me in line. – How about trina and joss? – That’s true, but it’s not going to be the same. I’m going to miss you, man. – Ok. Can I have everybody’s attention? I got a few things to say about cameron. – Oh, boy. – Cameron and I are not related by blood, but I certainly consider him family. Now, he’s had a tough year, but he’s kept his chin up. Now stanford has him. Our loss. So good luck, I love you, and i got something for your wallet.

[Laughter] – Thank you, scotty. – I’m so proud of you. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – Thank you guys so much for coming. – All right, bring it in. Bring it in. – I’m gonna miss you. – Group hug. – So proud of you.


– Um, laura’s offered to take us home, so we’re going to be leaving now. But thank you for inviting me. Just my luck, the one person who’s been kind to me is leaving town. – Grandma has been nice to you. – True. Um, she does have an ulterior motive. – No. She’s not like that. – Cam, I am going to miss you so, so much, you know? You’re a very, very special young man. You’re my little soccer star.

[Chuckles] – Thanks, grandma. I love you, too. – Ok. I’ll help you get your stuff. – Thanks. Oh, thank you. – Thank you, scott. – Look. Uh, I know you guys used to be a couple. Is that going to be a problem here? – No, we’re good. – Yeah, we’ll get it done. – [Sighs] – So there it is. The show order is set! – This nurses’ ball is going to be special– worthy of gh’s 60th anniversary. – Oh, no, no, no, no. It is simply madness not to have one host. You need that one person to tie everything together, to keep the evening moving. This is bad. This is really bad. This is not going to work. I have to be there. The nurses’ ball needs me. – Mom? Thank you for the party. It was a lovely sendoff. – Oh, everyone wanted a chance to say goodbye and tell you how much they love you. – It’s strange. I hate that I’m leaving, but I can’t wait to get there. – I know. You’re going to love it there, but I’m going to miss you. – I’m gonna miss you too, mom.

[Emotional music]

[Phone rings] – Oh, it’s eileen. – Ok. – Eileen, are you all right? Are you still with victor? – I’m sorry, I– I thought I could get the decryption key, but it didn’t work out. – Are you compromised? Does victor know that the necklace was a fake? – No, no. Victor didn’t suspect anything. – Ok, good. And you’re all right. Just don’t go against orders again. – I can’t do this anymore. I’m out. – Don’t forget the evidence we have against you. – My life is ruined already. I’m leaving town, and I’m going to get as far away from victor cassadine as possible. – All right, calm down. Just calm down. – There. I did what you wanted. – Well done. Now there’s just one more little thing.

[Tense music] – We’ve lost eileen. – She sounded terrified. I mean, I just hope that she’s halfway to the canadian border by now. – If victor didn’t suspect her, he will when she goes missing. – Yeah. At least we have the real necklace. As long as we have that, we still stand a chance. – You promised you’d help me get out of town, away from anna’s reach. – I promise, my dear. You won’t have

to worryabout anna devane again. – [Screaming]

[Splashing] – Good night, mom. I love you. – I love you more.

[Melancholy music]

[Line trilling] – (On phone) hello, this is state trooper carlson. – Hi, I’m trying to reach epiphany johnson. – I’m very sorry, but I have bad news about your friend.

Bold & The Beautiful Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Bill: [Chuckles] Yeah. You did it. You finally opened up.

Sheila: That excites you, bill? Because what I told you is terrible.

Bill: Is it the truth?

Sheila: Yes.

Bill: This dr. Garvin, you had a fight and annie went over the balcony. And lance day. You killed him.

Ridge: Where is your team?

Sheila on audio: Yeah, but he threatened–

Ridge: Are they close?

Sheila: Yeah, these are really terrible memories, and this is such an important day. I really don’t want to spoil the moment you… you proposed.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Sheila: You want me to be your wife and I am so… I am so happy.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: So am I. You have no idea.

Sheila: Doesn’t it scare you? What–what I’ve done?

Bill: No, sheila. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ridge: Yes, we have. We got her. She just confessed! That’s it!

Chen: Spencer did it.

Ridge: Oh, we’re sending the killer to prison and she’s never going to bother our families again.

Sheila: You don’t care… what I’ve done?

Bill: All that matters is that you finally said it.

[Phone buttons clicking]

Brooke: Is everything all right?

Katie: Yeah, it’s will. I mean, he’s fine. He’s better than fine. I just don’t really know what to say to him about his father. You know, I just keep hoping that bill is going to come to his senses or that I’m going to be able to say something to get through to him, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what happened to the man I thought I knew.

Brooke: So bill won’t listen to you at all?

Katie: He won’t listen to anybody. I can only imagine how difficult it’s been for you regarding will.

Katie: Well, I just try to keep things as vague as possible regarding his relationship with sheila. I mean, will adores his father. And no one, or at least I thought no one, was more important to bill than his children and his grandchildren. I mean, he would never want to cause his family any kind of pain. So I don’t understand it. Why is sheila carter suddenly so important to him?

Sheila: I just told you the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Bill: Yeah, it took you long enough.

Sheila: [Scoffs] What?

Bill: You just told me your– your deepest, darkest secrets. It’s going to change everything.

Sheila: In a good way.

Bill: In the best way.

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Can you please keep it together?

Bill: I’ve always known exactly who you are. I’m going to keep my promise. I’m going to give you the future that you so richly deserve. [Laughs]

Bill: [Chuckles]

Ridge: Bill came through! He got sheila to confess. Tell me you got all that.

Chen: It’s all been recorded.

Ridge: Okay, good. She’s going away for murder one. Our plan worked.

Chen: It’s not over. We don’t have sheila in custody yet.

Sheila: Bill, if what i told you hasn’t changed your feelings about us, then why suddenly so quiet?

Bill: Oh, I’m, uh… I’m just thinking about the future, what’s ahead of us now. I am more pleased and relieved than you could ever imagine.

Sheila: Relieved? Relieved that I accepted your proposal? Did you think I might not?

Brooke: Well, you did, uh, you did hesitate. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sheila: It’s because no one has ever treated me the way that you do. I know our relationship, it’s unconventional, but I know that you love me. Are you worried about your family, how they might react?

Bill: Well, uh… my family has never really understood what’s going on here, but hopefully now they will.

Sheila: [Laughs] Do you think that there might be a chance that they accept us? Because that would be worth a celebration.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I see a tremendous celebration on the horizon. But right now, that’s just one thing I have to take care of. I promise I’ll be right back.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: You just stay put.

[Door opens, closes]

Katie: If I thought I could talk some sense into bill, I would be over at the house right now.

Brooke: Gosh. No, you can’t do that. Talking to him is pointless. He can’t even say one word when sheila’s in the room.

Katie: He just lets her rant and rave, and he barely makes eye contact.

Brooke: It’s so strange, right?

Katie: He’s the most assertive person I’ve ever met in my entire life. But with her, suddenly he’s so passive, it’s–it’s unnerving.

Carter: Hey. Seems like you guys are having a serious meeting. Is everything okay?

Katie: Yeah, we’re just, you know, talking about bill and sheila.

Carter: Something happen?

Brooke: No, that’s the problem. Nothing’s happened. Nothing’s changed at all.

Katie: Bill is as inscrutable as ever, and we don’t understand it. I mean, the man that we have known is just–he’s like a shell of himself.

Brooke: We just have to hope and pray that bill wakes up one day and makes sheila pay for her crimes.

Bill: Tell me you got that.

Ridge: Yes, we did. We got all of it. Congratulations. It’s a lot of work, but we got it done.

Bill: The whole confession, names, everything?

Chen: Agent chen here. Affirmative, bill. Good work, but you’re not done. It’s critical you keep sheila at the estate until my team reaches your location.

Bill: Don’t worry. I can handle sheila. We got her. We finally got her.

Sheila: You got me? Who are you talking to, bill? (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Carter: There is no question that bill is not himself, allowing sheila to dictate his life.

Brooke: Who’s allowed in the house, and how we’re supposed to speak to her when we’re there?

Katie: All his protective instincts are pointed in the wrong direction.

Brooke: He’s not even looking out for himself.

Carter: I mean, the woman shot her own son. She left finn in that alley to die. She’s not someone bill can trust.

Katie: He’s always been a risk taker. He thrives on danger and excitement, but this is beyond reckless.

Carter: Is that the attraction? He likes playing with fire?

Katie: I don’t think so. He doesn’t seem to be getting any kind of thrill out of this.

Carter: Okay, so then is it penance for hurting you and brooke?

Katie: I thought that might be the case at first, but then we would have been able to talk him out of this. One thing is for sure, the longer this goes on, the more danger we’re all in. Especially bill.

Sheila: You finally got me. Who were you talking to on the phone? Tell me, bill. You weren’t talking about our engagement, our marriage, our future, were you?

Bill: Our marriage? [Chuckles] Our–our future? This great love story, you and me? The woman who shot steffy and finn, the vicious criminal who tried to kill my granddaughter’s mother?

Sheila: Criminal? You think… you asked me to be your wife? You put this ring on my finger, and you professed your love over and over again. We made love in your bed. You told me your deepest, darkest secrets, your feelings. You shared that with me.

Bill: No, no, no. You shared your deepest crimes with me.

Sheila: No way. What you’re saying, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Bill: Doesn’t it, though? Everything I’ve said, everything I’ve done, sacrificed, it all finally does make sense, sheila. Come on, now. I know you’re delusional, but it’s got to be sinking in. The lie that I’ve been living for months, the acting challenge of a lifetime. Pretending to defend you, care about you, love you.

Ridge: You had to overplay it didn’t you? Don’t let her get away.

[Running footsteps on audio]

Bill: You’re not getting out of this.

Sheila: You never even wanted me here.

Bill: When you leave, it’ll be in cuffs.

Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list.

Sheila: No, no, because if you wanted me locked up, you could have had me arrested on the beach that night.

Bill: Oh, you mean that night when you just happened to find me moping in the dark, drinking away my sorrows, all alone at il giardino?

Sheila: You were in pain. You were lost and hurting. Oh, my god.

Bill: Is the light going on? Is it? Was I lost and hurting? Or was I waiting for you to take the bait? It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out [Mocking] To the only man who truly understood you. [Regular voice] You finally did. Took me months. Had to put a ring on your finger, but I got you. That poor lance kid, he’s gonna get his justice. His killer is going to be locked up for good.

Sheila: No, no, because this is not happening.

Bill: You confessed, sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life, and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Your reign of terror is over. You hear me? It’s over, bitch!

Brooke: So it doesn’t bother carter that you’re so worried about bill?

Katie: Carter’s worried, too.

Brooke: You can’t let it impact your relationship. When it’s new like this, the stress can…

Katie: He’s been a rock for me. He’s been so supportive and understanding.

Brooke: Okay. I’m glad.

Katie: I’ve really needed it, too, because this whole situation with bill and sheila has made me feel a little crazy.

Brooke: You’re not crazy. Bill is the crazy one. He’s hurting everybody that he says he cares about.

Katie: And for no reason. I don’t know. I just can’t help but think that there’s got to be something more to this. It can’t just be about protecting sheila. There’s got to be something we’re missing.

Brooke: What?

Katie: I don’t know. But the man I fell in love with, the father of my son, wouldn’t do something like this. I just have to believe that the real bill is in there somewhere… just waiting to come out.

Sheila: I never… terrorized you, bill. I cared about you.

Bill: Every moment I spent with you was pure anguish. But I couldn’t give in to my revulsion. I needed you to confess.

Sheila: You can’t prove anything. There’s–there’s no evidence. No one knows what I said, so it’s your word against mine.

Bill: Well, that–that would be a problem if every incriminating word you spoke hadn’t been recorded. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices, here, there, everywhere. As a matter of fact, why don’t you give your best smile and wave to ridge and agent chen from the fbi?

Sheila: Ridge was a part of all of this?

Bill: Oh, look, yeah. You know how those dress designers can be, holding a grudge when you try and kill their daughter? You shot steffy and left her for dead!

Ridge: And now you’re gonna pay.

Bill: You think ridge was going to let you get away with that? No. We were never alone here. You were never safe. I never cared about you. It was all an act with the fbi watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re going to cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: What about everything you said to me? To brooke, to katie, your sons?

Bill: Well, you know, I don’t want to be a braggart, pat myself on the back, but I was pretty good. They actually believed that I had fallen under your spell. See, I had to convince them to convince you. I had to burn every bridge.

Sheila: And they hate you for that!

Bill: Not as much as I hate you! It killed me. Having to listen to you fawn over me. Made me want to puke. Having to hug you, hold you, caress you. Have–have you… in my…in my bed.

Sheila: You call me a monster. The only way that this despicable plan could even work is if I’m not one. All I ever wanted was to be loved, to… have someone show me some compassion, some understanding. And what did you do? You used me, bill. You used me!

Bill: Yes. You are damn right, I did. Who could ever love something like you?

Sheila: My son. He wanted to know me. My own flesh and blood. If steffy hadn’t poisoned him against me–

Bill: Just shut up! Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done. Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! [Shrieking]

Ridge: No!

Sheila: [Yells]

[ Romantic jazz music playing ]

Summer: So, what’s been your favorite part of the evening so far?

Kyle: Mm, besides sharing it with you?

Summer: Good answer.

Kyle: I’d have to say walking into this place — I mean, a brand-new jazz venue tucked inside the athletic club. How cool is that? And your grandparents’ speech.

Summer: Really?

Kyle: Mm. What Victor said about people returning to Genoa City to raise their kids spoke to me.

Summer: I know what you mean.

Kyle: I’m so glad we moved home.

Summer: Yeah, Milan was amazing, but this is always gonna be home.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.


Jack: Would you care to dance?

Diane: I would.

Jack: Keep in mind, if we dance too close, people are gonna talk, especially those who don’t know we’re back together.

Diane: Well, then let’s give them something to talk about. [ Chuckles ]


Lauren: [ Sighs ] I never thought I would see the day.

Michael: Now, now, be nice.

Lauren: [ Chuckling ] Oh, this is me being nice, darling. You know, back when Diane resurrected herself, Jack was adamant. He said to me that he would never let her back into his life, that that door was shut tight.

Michael: Hurrah for second chances. And even ninth or tenth chances.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] I just hope he knows what he’s doing.

Michael: Jack’s a big boy. This ain’t their first time around, you know.

Lauren: Still, it’s Diane.

Michael: Alright. Personally, I think they look great together.

Lauren: Really?

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: Because if Phyllis walked in right now and saw them together, all hell would break loose.  [ Sighs ]


Phyllis: Diane is probably planning on announcing their engagement tonight at the party, with full media coverage. I wouldn’t put it past her if she’s convinced Jack to get down on one knee. I mean, they had their heads together and —

Jeremy: We need to get that ring.

Phyllis: To wreck the moment.

Jeremy: And because it’s the perfect personal item to add to the final touch of the scene we’re setting.

Phyllis: I’m not sure it’s possible. I mean, Jack slipped that ring in his pocket.

Jeremy: Leave that to me.


Victor: Baby, it makes me very happy to see most of the family together, doesn’t it?

Nikki: Sure does.

Victor: So, this is how I envisioned a wonderful evening, the Newmans together, celebrating. I love it.

Nikki: While Diane keeps digging her claws into Jack deeper and deeper.

Victor: Well, you know, he has always been afflicted with bad judgment when it comes to Diane Jenkins.

Nikki: It’s not too late to save him.

Victor: Baby, it’s not too late to dance with me, right?

Nikki: Ah. I thought you’d never ask.


Audra: Hmm. Victoria doesn’t seem to be wasting any time.

Elena: Audra, stop.

Audra: I’m just stating a fact. Victoria is someone you’ll want to keep your eyes on.

Elena: If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go join my boyfriend. Hi.

Nate: Hey, beautiful. I am so glad you made it.

Elena: Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Victoria: I’ll let you two catch up.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: See you.

Elena: So, what did I miss?


Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

Billy: You still okay?

Chelsea: [ Clears throat ]

Billy: Just know that I’ll be here all night, okay? Side by side. And if any of this gets too much, then we’re out of here. Okay?

Chelsea: Okay.


Devon: I don’t know how you expect to fix anything at this point, Lily.

Lily: Devon, come on. It’s never too late.

Devon: I don’t see myself working with you again, though.

Lily: Okay, wait. Please — please don’t walk away, okay? Let’s just go somewhere and talk about this, please. I mean, for Dad’s sake, right? Don’t we at least owe him that?


[ Indistinct conversations ]

Michael: Alrighty. Voil!

Lauren: Ooh, more champagne!

Jill: Do I know you?

Lauren: Thank you!

Michael: I know. Not after these, you won’t.

Jill: Thank you!

Lauren: Ooh!

Jill: There you go. Ooh! By the way, I am so sorry I didn’t get back for your awards ceremony.

Lauren: Aww.

Jill: How great to be honored by your whole industry.

Lauren: It was amazing.

Jill: Aww.

Lauren: And I’m so glad that you’re here tonight because no one is a bigger part of Genoa City’s history but you, my darling sister.

Michael: Speaking of history, since the lounge was dedicated to Neil, maybe we should see if one of the upstairs suites could be named after you.  [ Laughter ]

Lauren: Michael!

Michael: Given your many trysts. No, no! Listen, Jill’s romances are the stuff of legend.

Lauren: Whoo-hoo!

Michael: Hear, hear!

Jill: I don’t even mind. You tease me all you like, but I make no apologies for my very interesting life.

Michael: Ooh, la la!

Jill: As a matter of fact, if I weren’t so determined to make tonight about my family and my company…

Lauren: Mm-hmm.

Jill: …I would add to that legend.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Jill: No, in fact, I still might.

Lauren: Oh, here’s to that!

Michael: Wow!

Jill: There you go. Here’s to that.

Lauren: The night is young.

[ Laughter ]


[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Leanna: Having done my due diligence, I’m delighted to say you’ve won. Congratulations.

Diane: What?

Leanna: You two lovebirds. This is exactly the hot scoop I was hoping to get tonight. Diane Jenkins back from the dead and reunited with her ex, one of Genoa City’s most elite bachelors.

Jack: Buzz off, Leanna. We don’t want to be one of your side shows.

Leanna: Au contraire, mon ami. You’re the main event. Home page of my website.

Diane: Oh, shoo. Go away.

Jack: You heard the lady. Bye-bye.

Leanna: Diane… you’ll never have a better chance to clear your name.

Jack: Bull. I know from experience you’re far more likely to twist everything she says and make her look bad.

Leanna: Okay, fine. Have it your way. A girl can only take so much ingratitude.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Leanna: You know, uh, you’re a very lucky woman. Not only do you have a second lease on life, but I distinctly remember what a phenomenal lover Jack is.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]


Kyle: If Leanna is targeting my mother with one of her vicious attacks, maybe I ought to go over there.

Summer: Please don’t. Your parents can take care of themselves and each other. Don’t worry about it.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Summer: It’s me. It’s the nanny. Hey, Linda. Is Harrison okay? Oh, no.


Adam: Well, that fresh air felt nice.

Sharon: Oh, is that why we went for a stroll — fresh air? I thought it was to avoid seeing Sally and Nick.

Adam: Um, that was just a bonus, okay? And every time I try to be gracious around them, I just end up putting my foot in it.

Sharon: Well, you know, the situation makes everyone uncomfortable, but I think you’re handling yourself fine.

Adam: Ah, yes, with my friend here, a little help, Mr. Alcohol.

Sharon: Is it time for more bubbly?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Mm. Uh, maybe something a little stronger. I have to deal with my sister tonight, too.


Ashley: It’s been so fun seeing people that I’ve lost track of over the years. She’s not one of them.

Tucker: I am glad you’re enjoying yourself, sweetheart.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Victor: Do you know what I would enjoy? I would enjoy knowing where things stand with the sale of your company.

Tucker: Really? You want to talk business right here, right now?

Victoria: No, of course I don’t, and neither do you. But I’m starting to get the sense that you’re taunting me. So, why don’t you just give me something solid?

Tucker: I’m still weighing my options when it comes to McCall. Uh, although I do have a strong preference as to who I would like to see make the deal.


Chelsea: These are all preliminary ideas, but they’ve been flooding my brain for days, and I would love your input. Do you think they would work with the mental-health concept we’re developing?

Daniel: I think they all sound great. Pursue as many of them as you like.

Chelsea: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Thanks.

Daniel: No. Thank you for putting so much thought into this.

Chelsea: Do you have any idea about timelines, next best steps?

Daniel: Well, that would be a question for Lily, who I’m here with tonight, but it seems as though she’s stepped away. The Newmans dedicated the lounge to Neil. They converted it into a jazz club.

Chelsea: Aww.

Billy: Well, that’s great. That’s very fitting.

Daniel: Yeah. It is. Definitely worth checking out when you get a chance. But you know Lily. She got a little emotional, which is understandable. So, just wanted to give her some space.

Billy: Well, that’s nice. I’m glad she has someone in her life who is sensitive to her feelings. Do you like…

[ Indistinct conversations ]


Summer: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh. Zippy is missing.

Kyle: Ah.

Summer: Not Harrison. Thank god.

Kyle: Where has she looked so far?

Summer: Um, Linda, Kyle wants to know where you’ve looked so far. Have you checked the media room? Oh, no, trust me. We know. Harrison cannot fall asleep without that fox. I — I can barely hear you. Hold on. I’m gonna go outside so that we can brainstorm. Hang on just one second.

Kyle: Sorry.


Victoria: So, tell me about, um, your preferred option. Or do I already know?

Tucker: Tell you about my preferred option. Oh. Uh, I’d like to sell to Devon. That hasn’t changed.

Victoria: Oh, I see. I guess we’ll just have to revisit that when he turns you down.

Tucker: You’re on.

Victoria: In the meantime, uh [Chuckles] What I’m really, really curious about is your role in this, Ashley. What is your angle?

Ashley: Why would I have to have an angle? I’m just here celebrating my hometown’s birthday, Victoria.

Victoria: I’m not sure which one of you is more deceptive, really.

Tucker: Oh, that’s so sweet, Victoria. Do you hear that? She’s — she’s compared me to you. What a lovely compliment.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Gee, you seem low.

Ashley: Uh, mm-hmm.

Tucker: Would you like to get another?

Ashley: I would love one.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Excuse us.

Tucker: Excuse us.

Victor: What was that all about?


Elena: The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge.

Nate: Pretty fantastic, huh?

Elena: It is. That was really thoughtful of the Newmans.

Nate: Yeah, it was. Lily and Devon were so touched. You know, maybe this reminder of their dad will help things thaw a bit.

Elena: I’d like to think it’s possible.


Devon: [ Sighs ] Lily, I don’t know what’s left to say. I mean —

Lily: Devon, what do you mean? Jill canceled the IPO. That changes everything.

Devon: Right. And do you know that Victor Newman is the one who convinced her to do that?

Lily: No. I didn’t know that. She told me that a friend had helped her see a better solution. Did Jill tell you that?

Devon: Well, when I asked her, she made it pretty obvious. And then I saw them both with their heads together inside.

Lily: Okay, so, then you don’t know if it were Victor then?

Devon: I mean, it’s — it’s an educated guess.

Lily: Okay. Well, I-I wouldn’t be surprised if it were Victor. He cares about you. He always has, since you were a teenager. Look, Devon, everything that you were worried about is gone now. You were worried about losing control of the company. That’s gone. Even the people you were worried about — Nate, Audra, I mean, even Billy. They’re all gone. It’s just us. So, look, we can streamline operations, you know? I’ll back off and give you everything that you need to do to run your division how you want.

Devon: And you expect me to do the same thing for you?

Lily: Yeah. We can each run our own operations the way that we see fit. You know, we won’t have shareholders breathing over our shoulders. This can finally be the united family business that we’ve dreamed of… if you say yes.

[ Light laughter ]

[ Soft jazz music playing ]


Michael: They’re not keeping it a secret any longer. They are out in the open.

Lauren: Mm. I’m not even sure they’re aware that there’s anyone else in this room.

Michael: Hmm. Maybe we should challenge them to a dance-off.

Lauren: Uh, wha–

Michael: Follow me.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Mm-hmm!

Lauren: You two look like you’re having the time of your life.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] We are. It’s a night to remember.

Jack: I can’t tell you the last time I went out and just enjoyed music and dance. I love it.

Michael: And you’re not rusty at all, Jack, are you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] He’s just jealous of your grace and fluidity. In fact, he would like to challenge you to a dance-off.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Is that so?

[ Laughter ] Ooh, yeah.

Lauren: [ Laughing ] Oh, honey!

Diane: This might sound crazy, but…was that Jeremy?

Jack: I was just thinking the same thing.


Sharon: Have a great time.

Lauren: Thank you. Oh, there’s Christine.

[ Chuckling ] Hi.

Michael: Hey, Daniel.

Daniel: Absolutely. Bye.

Lauren: So, you’re flying solo tonight. What does Paul have on the agenda now he’s the retired chief of police?

Christine: Uh, actually, Paul’s in Portugal. Heather and Lucy’s visit wasn’t long enough, so he went there to visit.

Lauren: Ah. Well, that sounds like fun. I can’t wait to see pictures.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Oh, so, do I have this right? You two are responsible for the amazing food and beverages tonight? [ Laughs ]

Michael: Actually, Lauren was the brains of the operation. I was on tasting duty.

Christine: Ah, very well done, both of you.

Lauren: Thank you. Thank you.

Michael: I know Nikki doesn’t want us talking about business tonight, but, uh, I have to ask. Between you and me, how’s the arbitration going?

Christine: I mean, do you think I’m gonna tell you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: No, but like I said, I had to ask.

Christine: No, you really didn’t. You didn’t. Because we’re not talking business tonight.


Christine: Okay, I can tell you this — once the case is settled, I’m considering making a move.

Michael: What? Where?

Christine: My old job.

Lauren: District attorney?

Christine: Yeah, I mean, an interim basis maybe. I haven’t accepted the offer, but I think it would be good for me. I, um… I need a change.


[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Esther: Thank you. Hi.

Leanna: Esther Valentine?  [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh! How long has it been? I almost didn’t recognize you without your feather duster.

Esther: Leanna. What are you doing here? I thought this gala was only for the elite of Genoa City.

Leanna: Oh. Well, you made the cut, so…

Esther: Well, for your information, I am now a key employee of Chancellor-Winters.

Leanna: Are you now?

Esther: Mm-hmm.

Leanna: Impressive. You know, I heard, um, rumblings that there was major conflict at the company. Care to share?

Esther: With you?  [ Laughs ] Forget it. So, where are my bosses? I just want to say hello.

Leanna: Oh, good question. I don’t know. I haven’t seen Devon and Lily in a while. Huh. Maybe there’s a story there. See you later.


Jack: I’m gonna find that man. If it really is Jeremy Stark, I’m gonna throw him out of here. If it’s not, it gives us some peace of mind.

Diane: Jack, please don’t confront him.

Jack: We don’t want him wandering around this party. He’s only gonna cause trouble.

Diane: Just wait. Wait. Um, I-I know we — we put it on hold, announcing our engagement, because we didn’t want to trample on the excitement about Neil’s club.

Jack: You having second thoughts?

Diane: Well…you said that we’d know when the time was right, and, you know, here we are, surrounded by practically everyone we know and there’s buckets of Champagne flowing and I just — I just think it might be a good idea if we do it right now, don’t you?

Jack: I’m the guy who wanted to announce it to the whole world. You’re the one that put the brakes on. I just went along with you.

Diane: Well, I’ve reconsidered.

Jack: Well, you’ll get no argument from me. That’s why I want to deal with Stark — so he doesn’t ruin our moment. I’m just gonna talk to the club security staff, okay?

Diane: Alright. I’ll go with you.

Jack: No, no, no. You — you’re upset. Stay here. Take a breath. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I’ll come back and find you.

Diane: [ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Phyllis: There you are.

Diane: [ Exhales heavily ]


Victoria: You know, Dad, if you ask me, I think that Tucker has lost his edge. Instead of a quick and easy sale to Newman, he’s waiting for Devon to ride to his rescue.

Victor: Well, good luck with that. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that Tucker McCall has been playing us.

Adam: You guys talking about McCall?

Victoria: Excuse me. This is a private conversation.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Which you are having in a very public place. Has the plan to acquire McCall hit a snag? I saw you talking to Tucker earlier. Or are you the one throwing up the roadblocks?

Victor: Son, we are all working toward a common goal, alright?

Victoria: I wouldn’t go that far.

Adam: Mm. So, you both want to buy Tucker’s company, but you have different visions on what happens to it after that. I see.

Victoria: You know, Adam, I really wouldn’t concern myself with this because, however it shakes out, you’re never gonna be CEO.


Elena: I know you’re frustrated, but I do admire your efforts in trying to get Devon and Lily communicating again. When we got back together, you told me that you would work on being a better person. And, lo and behold, you have, which makes me feel like this leap of… Nate.

Nate: I’m sorry. Uh, what?

Elena: [ Scoffs ] If you’re so curious about what the Newmans are discussing, why don’t you just join them?

Nate: Look, uh, I’m a bit preoccupied, okay? There’s a deal in the works. I’m sorry, okay? It won’t happen again.

Elena: Whatever. I’m gonna go mingle.

Nate: [ Sighs ]


Ashley: I am amazed at how focused you’ve been all evening. Right? Because there’s been so much going on in this room. Victoria was pressuring you.

Tucker: Just got to trust that things are gonna work out the way they’re meant to.

Ashley: Since when have you been so fatalistic?

Tucker: I know what I want. I know what you want from the situation.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: How can the universe deny us?

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Jill: Hi, Ashley.

Ashley: Hi, Jill.

Jill: Tucker, I’ve been meaning to have a word with you.

Tucker: About?

Jill: How dare you come after my company? How dare you plant a mole the way you did?

Tucker: Oh, well, if you’re referring to Audra —

Jill: And the worst part of it is you thought you could get away with it. You thought we were too stupid to catch on.

Tucker: If it’s an apology you’re seeking, then you got it. I apologize.

Jill: Oh, don’t hand me that. You’re only sorry because you got busted.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Jill, we’re both players, aren’t we? It’s who we are. We enjoy the game, and I know that you enjoy playing it every bit as much as I do.

Jill: Oh, shut up. You don’t know a damn thing about me, do you? But I will tell you something. I have taken steps to prevent whatever it is you had in mind. All you’ve accomplished is you’ve made Chancellor-Winters stronger.


Devon: I just don’t see how I can stay ’cause, yeah, the IPO is killed, but that’s not the only issue here. Like, how am I expected to work alongside somebody who went out of their way to try and hurt my feelings?

Lily: I know. I’m… I’m sorry. I am. I just — I let my anger get the best of me, you know? I-I was hurt and scared. And I lashed out.

Devon: Yeah, I’d say so.

Lily: And you’re right. I-I shouldn’t have hired Amanda. Like, that was wrong. I know it was wrong. And I’m sorry.

Devon: And I — I guess I should have been more honest with you and myself about my feelings when it came to doing this merger.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Devon, we can get past this. I know we can. We’ve been through so much together. You know, we — after Hilary died. And then I go to prison and I get out. And after dad died. And we’ve always gotten out stronger on the other side. We always made it through. Like, please, please — like, this can’t be the thing that breaks us.


Diane: What are you doing lurking around? Are you trying to scare me? Because it won’t work.

Phyllis: I’m sorry I startled you.

Diane: Oh, sure you are.

Phyllis: I’ve been looking for you.

Diane: Oh, you have? What, did you get the sense that I was having a good time and you wanted to ruin it?

Phyllis: Kyle’s sick.

Diane: What?

Phyllis: Yeah. He’s sick. He’s nauseated, dizzy. He was sweating, glassy-eyed.

Diane: Well, what is it?

Phyllis: I don’t know. I’m not a doctor. Diane, I have a suite for after the party. Summer’s with him now, but he’s been asking for his mother. So come with me.


Christine: So, where are Mariah and Tessa now?

Sharon: They are in Portland with the baby. I can’t wait for them to get home.

Christine: I don’t suppose you have any photos?

Sharon: Oh, only a few million. Let me show you.

Christine: Okay.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] Look. Here she is, eating.

Christine: Aww, that’s so —

Sharon: And then there she is, sleeping.

Christine: She’s adorable.

Sharon: Isn’t she?

Nikki: Those wouldn’t happen to be baby pictures, would they?

Sharon: Yeah. You caught me.

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. What a sweet angel.

Sharon: I know. I’ll never be able to thank Christine enough for helping us bring a new baby into the family.

Christine: Oh, it was my immense pleasure.

Nikki: Well, welcome to the grandparents club, Sharon. I spent years avoiding the “G” word, until I joined the club and I realized that having a grandchild to spoil is one of life’s greatest blessings.


Billy: Hi.

Jill: Hello.

Billy: You look beautiful.

Jill: Oh, thank you, honey. Hi, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hi, Jill.

Billy: How you doing?

Jill: I’m doing just fine.

Billy: So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much trouble am I in this week?

Jill: [ Laughs ] You tell me.

Billy: Ah.

Jill: Uh, although I will say that I’ve been getting reports of you making very positive strides in your life since your breakup with Lily, which I had to find out about from Esther, of all people.

Billy: Well, uh, thank you. I’m trying my best.

Jill: Well, honey, that’s all any of us can do in the end.  [ Sighs ] I’m really sorry I was so hard on you when you left Chancellor-Winters. You know, I think that was more because of the company’s struggles than your choices, but I’ve been working some things out over there, and I think you’re figuring out your life, too, huh?

Billy: I’m trying. And thank you for the vote of confidence.

Jill: Oh, good. Okay. Johnny tells me he’s been enjoying spending time with both of you.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Jill: Billy, you are an outstanding father. I don’t know if I tell you that enough, and that is the most important thing in life.

Billy: I don’t know what’s going on with you, but I really like it.

[ Laughter ]

Jill: I think it’s because I just unloaded on Tucker and I got all the negativity out of me.

Billy: Oh, good.

Jill: Don’t you look lovely.

Chelsea: Oh. Well, thank you, Jill. So do you.

Jill: Oh, thanks. I didn’t realize that the two of you were coming together.

Billy: Yeah, we’ve become good pals, and Chelsea did me the honor of accompanying me tonight.

Jill: Aww. Well, I’m glad you have friends in your life. Bye.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Okay there, pal.

[ Both laugh ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]


Diane: You’re lying.

Phyllis: Diane, I don’t like you, but I like your son. So, get over yourself.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I’m not going to follow you anywhere. And besides, Kyle was just here dancing. He looked like the picture of health.

Phyllis: Well, when I left him a bit ago, he was nauseated. But you want to argue with me, so, okay.

Diane: Well, wait. If Kyle’s so ill, why hasn’t he called a doctor?

Phyllis: Exactly. Exactly. So why don’t you come with me? So you, me and Summer can convince him to get medical help?

Diane: I’m going to see what Kyle has to say.


Diane: Kyle isn’t responding to my text.

Phyllis: Exactly. Probably because he’s out of it.

Diane: You know, you’ll say anything to get me to leave this party, won’t you?

Phyllis:  You think I want to kidnap you?

Diane: Well, I wouldn’t put it past you.

Phyllis:  Really? Then I’d want to spend time with you, and I don’t want to do that.  Listen, if you want to go alone, fine. It’s suite 567. Go. I won’t accompany you.


Victor: I want you to think for a minute of all the things we could achieve if we work as a team instead of spending all this stupid energy fighting each other. We could rule the damn world.


Victoria: [Sighs] Did you and Elena get all caught up?

Nate: Yeah. We talked about uh, Lily, Devon, and the two of us. It feels good, uh, knowing we got back to the place we need be as a couple.


Audra: I saw you and Nate talking. It looked a little intense.  Is everything okay?

Elena: Couldn’t be better. But I have been thinking about your suggestion to interview Victoria’s ex, J.T., for my podcast.  And maybe it’s not a bad idea.

Audra: I’m glad you think so.


[ “April Kind of Love” plays ]

Devon: Neil loved this album so much. Then he left it to me on vinyl, and now it’s Dominick’s favorite.  Every time I put it on, he starts dancing.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I mean, if that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.

Devon: God, I hate feeling like this. And I hate that we let things get this damn far.

Lily: [ Sighs] I know, Devon. I hate it, too.  Please, can we just stop this, and, like, find our way back?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna drop the lawsuit.

Lily: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god!

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: I’m sorry, too.


Summer: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: Had enough excitement for one evening?

Summer: Oh, thank goodness Linda found Zippy in the pool house.

Kyle: Yeah, we’d be breaking into a toy store right about now.

Summer: I know, but Zippy and Harrison are all tucked in and fast asleep.

Kyle: That calls for Champagne.

Summer: Or coffee and dessert?

Kyle: Mm, I think I like your idea better.

Daniel: Hey.

Summer: Hey. What’s up?

Daniel: When’s the last time you saw Mom?

Summer: Um, during Grandma and Grandpa’s speeches. Why?

Daniel: I don’t know. We had this odd conversation.  She wanted to know how proud she is of me and how she expects me to do great things in life.  Then she just wished me well and took off.

Summer: [ Sighs ] That’s… She said pretty much the same thing to me, that she was impressed with the woman I’d become and that she’s very proud of me.

Daniel: Yeah, but it was strange, right?

Summer: Yeah. It was kind of moving, too.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, okay, a little, maybe. Maybe it got me a little, too. She’s crossed a thousand lines, but — I don’t know — maybe I’ve been too tough on her?

Kyle: Guys, her behavior was out of control.  You needed to set some boundaries.

Summer: I know. But… I just hope we didn’t make things worse.


Leanna: Hmm.
