Devon tells Tucker that Jill wants to buy McCall Unlimited as long as he isn’t a part of the company. Tucker tells Devon he doesn’t want to sell the company to Jill because he wants the company to be run by family. Devon tells Tucker that he can do whatever he wants with his company because he doesn’t intend to buy it. Devon tells Victor that if he wants to buy McCall Unlimited he can do it because he isn’t going to buy the company since he is going to stay at Chancellor Winters.

Summer thinks Jeremy married Phyllis for her money and intended to split the money with Diane. Chance questions Jeremy who continues to pressure him to investigate Diane since he thinks she killed Phyllis. Chance tells Christine that the toxicology report on Phyllis’s blood showed a lethal dose of strychnine in Phyllis’s blood. Chance finds an empty bottle of strychnine in Phyllis’s hotel room and calls the police station and asks someone to investigate who bought the bottle of strychnine.

Nate: I think we need to address what happened the other night.

Victoria: I thought that we were pretty clear with one another.

Nate: Saying everything is fine is one thing, but is it really?

Victoria, I don’t want what happened to change our work dynamic, and I hope it doesn’t alter the trust and comfort we have with one another.

Victoria: Nate, don’t give it any more thought. Really, it bears little to no weight on my end.

Nate: I hope that’s the case.

Victoria: Look, if it would make you feel better, I will willingly admit that i overstepped, and I’ll apologize. I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.

Nate: No apologies necessary

[Chuckles] Because you wouldn’t mean in anyway.

Victoria: Excuse me?

Nate: You don’t feel like you overstepped, now, do you?

Victoria: No, I don’t.

***********************************

Victor: Let me ask you, how do you think Katherine would feel? She realized you drew a very hard line with Devon. I mean, Devon is her grandson.

Jill: You’re playing the Katherine card, aren’t you? Look, Katherine had a lot of opinions, a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and most of them I did not agree with. But make no mistake, there are times when I miss her like crazy.

Victor: Yep.

Jill: What I don’t miss is when she harped at me on how to run the company all the time. She and I can discuss that in the afterlife.

Victor: [Chuckles] Well, that’s fair enough.

Jill: Just

Daniel: Is everything okay? Are you ready for your arbitration hearing?

Lily: Um, yeah, everything’s fine. I just — I didn’t sleep very well last night.

Daniel: Figured as much, seeing that very large cup of coffee. Did you ask them if they’d sell it to you by the gallon?

********************************

Jeremy: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh, god. What are you — what are you — what are you doing, yelling my name? I just made this whole show that I washed my hands of you and your plans for Diane. I — I — I just made a big deal out of it. W-we can’t be seen here together. That’s why we’re meeting in your room.

Jeremy: I just finished my morning workout, and my endorphins are in overdrive. Now I’m ready to sit down and discuss next steps.

Phyllis: Okay, well, let’s do that, but let’s leave before we get busted. Let’s go and get out of this…

Diane: [Exhales sharply] I should have known. Every word out of your mouth was a big, fat lie.

Tucker: Hmm, it’s an interesting offer.

Adam: It is? I, um — I didn’t mean it to be interesting. I just, uh, wanted somebody to drink with, you know.

Tucker: Actually, on the upswing these days. If you’re looking for someone to commiserate with, you got the wrong guy.

Adam: Do you want a drink or not?

Tucker: Uh, I’ll have a bourbon, neat, please. Thanks.

Adam: So, is, uh, one of the things on the upswing you selling McCall?

Tucker: [Sighs] You’re not much of a small talker, are you?

Adam: Well, word on the street is, your company is for sale.

Tucker: Word on the street? Ah. You and I must be hanging out on different streets. Where’d you hear that? Thank you.

Adam: Well, you know, I keep my, uh, ear to the ground.

Tucker: Hmm. Your sister and dad told you, right? I didn’t know you were in the Newman inner circle these days.

Adam: Yeah, we’re, um — we’re tight. We’re — we actually, um — we’ve never been closer.

Tucker: Hmm. I’m sure. You relish your role as the black sheep of the family, don’t you? Having plunged a dagger into your dad’s heart by going to work for Jack Abbott, I can’t imagine that put you on his good side. Frankly, everyone knows Victoria’s distaste for you. So, honestly, where did you hear this?

“””****************************************

Adam: You obviously don’t have your ears as low to the ground as I do. Um, [Inhales deeply] I’m actually no longer at jabot.

Tucker: No, I know that. Ashley told me you underperformed your way out the door there.

Adam: It wasn’t a good fit.

Tucker: The c-suite press-release lingo. Did you also quit to spend more time with family?

[Chuckles] Of course, that doesn’t track, because your family can’t stand you.

Adam: No, Victoria, dad, and I — we have our issues, but, uh, at the end of the day, we’re family. And we always will be.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Adam: I know you can understand that, with everything that’s going on with Devon.

Tucker: Indeed, I can. Father-son relationships are, uh, huh, complicated. Yeah.

Adam: Yeah, that’s the thing about Victor me, is we — we understand each other on a cellular level because we are so much alike.

Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, you are. You’re both miserable, ruthless.

Adam: See, you, on the other hand, you are nothing like Devon. You know, him being principled, thoughtful.

Tucker: [Chuckles]

Adam: Yeah, you really botched that relationship. It sounds like he doesn’t want anything to do with you, including acquiring McCall. Which means I might actually end up being the CEO of your empire.
[Slaps bar top] We should drink to that.

Tucker: Adam…

[Sighs] Over my dead body will you ever have anything to do with my company

Jack: And we are trying to keep this quiet for right now. Of course, we wanted to tell you both, but if you could keep this to yourselves, we would appreciate that.

Summer: I will be very quiet, silent.

Jack: Well, we are headed to Society. We’ll talk later.

Diane: Oh, kiss Harrison for me.

[Sighs]

[Door closes]

Summer: What the hell was that?

*********************************

Victoria: Look, Nicholas, i understand where you’re caution is coming from, but I am not gonna pass on this phenomenal opportunity so that dad can use McCall to lure Adam back into the family, which is only gonna make him more beholden to dad, like some emotional hostage. It’s bad business. It’s miserable parenting. You and I — we’ve seen this movie before. We know that it ends in disaster for both of them.

Nick: So, now you’re worried about Adam’s emotional well-being?

Victoria: I don’t want to fight with you right now.

Nick: Alright. Should we reschedule this fight for some other time?Victoria: Hi, Nate. What a pleasant surprise.

Kyle: That smile didn’t exactly reach your eyes. Are you worried about my parents fleeing town? Or Jeremy Stark? Or maybe it’s your dad’s strange relationship with Sally? Or are you concerned about the safety and well-being of our son?

Summer: How about all of the above?

Kyle: I know there’s a lot going on right now, but we’ll work through it.

Summer: How? How are we going to work through this, Kyle? I mean, I… I’m trying to stay positive, but there’s so much going on, and I haven’t even told you about the run-in that I had with my mom earlier today.

Kyle: What happened with Phyllis?

Summer: I just have a bad feeling.

Kyle: About what?

Summer: I thought that she was letting go of her obsession with Diane, she was going to focus on rebuilding her relationships with me and Daniel. But now that that doesn’t seem to be working out for her.

********************************

Audra: You know, I really admire you. Your laser-like focus on achieving your goals is inspiring. You decide you want McCall Unlimited, and nothing will stand in your way. And, you know, despite how much you obviously value your own family, you don’t hesitate to get in the middle of other families. You know, like when you worked with Nate to acquire Chancellor-Winters.

Victoria: That was strictly a business proposition.

Audra: Yeah, but you understand that people are responsible for their own choices. You focus on Newman’s bottom line and not on Nate ruining his relationship with his cousins. And now you’re not at all afraid of getting between a father and son.

Victoria: You know, unlike the people that you just named, the Newman family has always been united. Even when we’re fighting and struggling to see eye-to-eye, our allegiances are very clearly defined and unquestionable.

Audra: I suppose few families can claim that.

Victoria: And if one family member can be swayed in a particular direction, they’re the weak link, and the person doing the swaying, they’re not the issue, right? Because everybody has to be pulling together in the same direction, working for the same goal on the same page, or else everything falls apart.

Audra: So, just to be clear, we’re talking about swaying Tucker away from Devon, right?

Nick: So, I basically laid down the law with Summer. I told her she needs to have an open mind about our relationship.

Sally: I hate to cause friction between you and your daughter.

Nick: Ah, don’t worry about it. She and I are crazy close. We’re strong enough to get through it.

Sally: Well, I don’t doubt that. Must be nice to be so strong.
Nick: It is a heavy burden at times.

Sally: Mm-hmm, of course it is.

[Both chuckle] I could definitely use some of that strength. I really need to get my life together.

Nick: What do you mean?

*********************************

Nikki: Sally is pregnant? Oh, my god. I had no idea.

Summer: Yes, Sally is having a baby, but it’s not dad’s. It’s Adam’s.

Nikki: [Gasps] Hallelujah! No. No, no, this is still a mess.

Summer: It’s what she does best.

Nikki: I have seen Nicholas almost every day at the office, and he hasn’t said anything. And I’ll bet Victor doesn’t know. He would have said something.

Summer: Um, here’s the thing, grandma. I know that it’s a lot to ask, but could you please not tell grandpa about this? At least, until dad or Adam gets a chance to tell him.

Nikki: That he’s having another grandchild? I-I don’t know. I mean, for me to know and not tell him…

Summer: I know. I know. I know. It was really unfair for me to dump all of this on you, but I just — I needed to talk to somebody who would be just as horrified as I am, but the thing is, if grandpa confronts dad about this before he’s ready, it’s gonna cause this huge conflict. And nobody wants that, right?

Nikki: Wow. As rationalizations go, that’s — that’s a bit of a stretch, Summer. But…alright. For the sake of the baby. It’s not healthy to have stress during pregnancy.

Summer: Thank you.

Nikki: I wish that Nicholas would tell Victor already, but he’s probably too embarrassed and upset, doesn’t want to talk about it.

Ashley: You know, I am just not interested in discussing my romantic entanglements with you.

Billy: Oh, my g– even hearing you say “romantic entanglements” makes me…

Ashley: Get over it.

Billy: Okay, fine. If you’re not gonna take any brotherly concern from me, what about Jack?

Ashley: [Laughs] That’s funny.

Billy: I mean, he’s got to really not love this entanglement that you —

Ashley: Jack doesn’t have any credibility.

Billy: Why?

Ashley: Well, obviously because of his relationship with Diane. I mean, he moved her in. And I never thought of a house as big as ours could feel crowded, but indeed it does.

*************************************

Ashley: What are you saying? You’re having an affair already?

[Chuckling] Really? What?

Billy: No, I’m not.

Ashley: What?

Billy: But, you know, I mean, there is someone that, um… look, I’m trying to be thoughtful and I’m trying to take my time and be conscientious. This, you know…

[Sighs]

Ashley: Very novel for you. Gosh, I can’t wait till you go public with your relationship so I can just judge the hell out of it.

Billy: Okay, and — and — and because of that right there, I just want to straight up apologize. I am very sorry if you are offended by this line of questioning.

Ashley: Yeah, you should be sorry.

Billy: Whatever you have going on with that manipulative, scheming megalomaniac… it’s none of my business.

Devon: What the hell do you want?

Victoria: A — a friendlier greeting than that?

[Chuckles]

Devon: Well, I’d give you one if we were friends. Why don’t you call my office and make an appointment like everybody else does?

Victoria: Oh, I just, um, thought I would bypass your personal assistant and just drop by myself. I understand you’re not in the office much these days, which is completely understandable in light of the lawsuit between you and Chancellor-Winters.

************************************************

Victor: Jack Abbott. Good god, man, how did you ever become involved with that guy? Anyway, what was — what was the final straw?

Adam: [Chuckles] Are you really gonna make me do this?

Victor: Yeah. Take your time. Sit down.

Adam: [Sighs] I was half-assing it at Jabot. My heart wasn’t in it, and i realized that I didn’t belong there. So as much as it pains me to admit this, you were right about the job — and about me. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches.

Daniel: Oh. I’m good. I’m good. Thank you for meeting with me.

Lily: Of course. So, thankfully, Jill has agreed to move forward with Omega Sphere even while we get everything at the company sorted out.

Daniel: Right. Good. Well, I owe you for that. I know you’ve been fighting for this, so thank you.

Lily: Well, of course I have. I believe in you, and I believe in the project. And that’s why I feel like, no matter what has happened with Heather and no matter how you feel about it, this venture is way too important to walk away from. You’ve put too much time and energy into it.

Daniel: I’ll keep that in mind.

Lily: Daniel, I mean it, okay? This is not just a beautiful gift for your daughter. You’re creating something impactful. And it’s a way to reinvent yourself, just like Heather and Lucy told you.

Daniel: You know I can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes. Plus, I needed to do some wallowing after they left. So, thank you for being patient with me.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I mean, look, it was kind of like hanging out with Eeyore, but, you know

***************************

Adam: Well, good thing you didn’t invite me to lunch — because after learning your relationship with Billy has progressed beyond friendship, I’ve lost my appetite.

Chelsea: Trust me. I know about your opinions on Billy.

Billy: Listen, Chelsea, come on. It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact.  Billy Abbott is a self-serving walking train wreck who cannot possibly have your best interests at heart. You deserve so much better than that.

Chelsea: Is that a fact?

Adam: It’s absolutely a fact.

Chelsea: Why can’t you just let go of this animosity and be happy for me that I’m in a good place? You know, I’m doing all the work, and good things are finally happening for me.

Adam: But, Chelsea, I am happy for you. And it’s actually because you are doing the work that you need to be worried. You have to keep your guard up.

Chelsea: Why do you say that?

Adam: From experience. Billy Abbott is toxic.

Phyllis: I’m in your room. What happened?

Jeremy: You don’t remember?

Phyllis: Oh, God.

[Sighs] I was drinking. Ohh, vodka.

Jeremy: Drowning your sorrows.

Phyllis: Then I walked out of the hotel.

[Inhales sharply] Ohh. Then it’s blurry. Um… I heard a car. No. Did I get in a car? Oh, my god. Was anyone hurt?

Jeremy: Well, I tweaked my back a little when I picked you up off the street, but no one else was hurt.

Phyllis: You picked me up off the street?

Jeremy: Yeah, I watched you stumble out of the hotel lobby. I had a bad feeling, so I decided to keep an eye on you.

Phyllis: You’re a good Samaritan.

Jeremy: I saved your life. You walked into traffic, cars were swerving, and then you just passed out right in the middle of the street.

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Jeremy: You didn’t bang your head or get hit or anything, maybe some bumps and bruises, but all of that alcohol — whew — you were pretty out of it.

*******************************

Kyle: Why do you care what i think about my mom and dad being together?

Billy: Because you’re family. We’re not exactly close because you’re a pain in the neck. But I’m on your side and I do care about what you think. I hope you know that.

Kyle: So, all the sudden, you’re going to be the understanding uncle?

Billy: [Chuckles] Your dad said you’re on the fence, but he believes eventually you’ll come back around. Is he right about that?

Kyle: Time will tell.

Billy: Look, Kyle, it’s understandable you’d have mixed feelings about all this.

Kyle: I want my parents to be happy. If they can do that together, I’m all for it. It’d be cool for them to have a stable relationship after all these years.

Billy: But you’re worried that someone’s gonna get hurt.

Kyle: I’d hate to see that happen. And given their history….
Billy: Yeah. I hear you there.

Kyle: Look, if I’m telling the truth, I’m more worried about my mom hurting my dad than the other way around. I know she’s worked so hard to turn her life around. She’s trying to be a better person, and I love that. And I don’t doubt her feelings towards him.

Billy: But it’s impossible to forget what’s happened in the past, the way she just up and left you as a kid. You know, I haven’t been through what you have, but I can relate on some level.

Kyle: How so?

Billy: Well, my mom, Jill, wasn’t exactly a doting maternal presence in my life when I was young. In fact, she still isn’t. You know, I think I broke the family record for being the youngest kid sent off to boarding school.

voicemail. I could tell. There was only one and a half rings. So, you’re trying to avoid me, too. Okay, well, I’ll just tell you what I told your sister. Call me back. You can’t avoid me.

Phyllis: They think that I’m the cause of their problems and that, um, I’m interfering in their life.

Michael: Because you are, aren’t you?

Phyllis: What the hell kind of question is that? “Because you are, aren’t you?” Seriously? All I’m trying to do is help my children.

Lauren: Okay, well, we know you have the best intentions when it comes to Daniel and Summer.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s it. That’s it. That’s it — the best intentions. That’s all you have to say. And I do. And I’m trying to help my children. And for some reason, they’re turning it around that all their problems in their life are because of me and I am the cause of all their issues. And I am so tired of it.

[Sighs] What is that? You just looked at each other. You think I’m to blame, too?

Michael: We didn’t say that.

Lauren: Yeah. We’re here for you.

Phyllis: No, you’re not.

Lauren: Like we always are.

Phyllis: No, you’re not. Blah.

[Laughs] Your words are so meaningless to me now. So meaningless. I see you guys with your shifty eyes. “Ohh. Phyllis is wrong. Phyllis is on a tear. There’s something wrong with Phyllis.” You know what? I don’t want your “advice.” I don’t want it. The only person that I can rely on is this, this beautiful person right here, this drink. Mm!

Lily: Devon, you have got to stop acting like you are the only one who can carry on his legacy.

Devon: Well, why am I the only one trying to protect the company that he left behind?

Lily: Saving Hamilton-Winters is not going to bring dad back. And if it did, I would be right there with you, fighting. But it’s not. So, you’re wrong. And if it takes a judge to prove that to you, then so be it.

Devon: So, this is you just saying you don’t give a damn?

Lily: Actually, no, it’s the opposite. My dad was more than a name, and he was definitely more than a company. He transcends that. So, you know what? Start a new company. Or take the money that we offered you and retire. I don’t care. But if you go down this path, I guarantee you will regret it.

Devon: I never thought I’d say this in a million years, but I’m almost glad Neil isn’t here to see who you’ve turned into.

********************************************

Lily: Sorry, I’m unbelievable?

Devon: Yes, you are.

Lily: You’re the one who won’t honor a contract that you signed. You won’t take the money that we offered you. You want to burn everything to the ground. So here we are.

Devon: Yeah, here we are, with you willing to sacrifice our relationship for a business deal that went bad.

Lily: Because you won’t loosen your grip on dad’s company.

Devon: And what’s wrong with me trying to preserve his memory like that,Lily? Really? What is it? I mean, after everything he taught us, after everything he did for us, how can you turn your back on him like that?

Lily: [Sighs] Devon, I am warning you. Do not go there. And you still have your biological father, Tucker.

Devon: You have your biologic– you got Malcolm.

Lily: Tucker is here in Genoa City. He wants a relationship with you. You have a young son who you get to see every single day. My children have their own life. This is all I have left.

Devon: What are you talking about it’s all you — you have me. I’m here in town with you. And I never wanted you to feel alone in any of this. You’re the one that’s made the decision to side with Jill in this IPO move. So, what was I meant to do?

Lily: Honor the contract that you signed.

Devon: Yeah. You know, say whatever you want about Tucker. He will never fill Neil’s shoes.

Summer: I’m sorry. I just — I really don’t have the time or the energy to get into it with you right now. And, you know, just so you know, I’ve talked to Daniel since the last time we saw each other, and he filled me in on all of the fallout from you butting into his life, too.

Phyllis: Oh. Wow. So, this is how it’s gonna be? You and Daniel against me, talking together, commiserating against me?

Summer: I’m not gonna speak for Daniel, but I can’t just brush aside my feelings. You interfering with Stark — that could have put us all in serious danger. And you interfering in Daniel’s life, both professionally and personally, could have ruined his deal with chancellor-winters and caused irreparable damage in his relationship with heather.

Phyllis: Okay, got it, got it, got it. I mean, all I’m hearing from you is “could have, could have, could have.” It didn’t happen. It certainly didn’t happen. Why do you and your brother refuse to see that?

Summer: Because it’s not the point! It’s not the point. Mom, this is just another example of how you choose to operate. And it doesn’t matter how many times you promise that you’re gonna make it right or that you’re gonna change. It’s really — it’s actually — it’s pointless. And, honestly, I just — I can’t keep showing up for it.

**********†************************

Ashley: So, did you pitch your heart out?

Tucker: I did. I think I did a pretty good job. Uh, I made the offer and explained my reasons in equal parts emotional appeal and bottom-line business considerations. He didn’t accept it, but he also didn’t reject it outright, so…

Ashley: Hmm. I guess you have your work cut out for you.

Tucker: I don’t know what else I could possibly do. I told him he should talk to Abby, actually, so maybe you have some sway there?

Ashley: Oh, I think we should leave the two friends out of this.
Tucker: Friends? Really?

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: I don’t know. I get a sense there’s something deeper going on there.

Ashley: I think you need to keep your focus on Devon.

Tucker: Yes, boss. I’m curious. What do you plan to do with little old me, should I fail?

Ashley: I haven’t made up my mind. But I do have a couple ideas.

Maggie asks what huge deal but Alex says it’s a surprise. Maggie doesn’t like surprises but Alex promises she will love this one.

Tripp goes home and lays on the couch but then Stephanie shows up and says she’s been trying to get ahold of him. Tripp asks if there’s news about Steve and if he found Megan Hathaway. Stephanie confirms that he did, but there’s more. Stephanie reveals that Kayla is alive.

Hope and Harris go to a hotel in Greece. Harris carries her bags and tells her that his room will be right down the hall. Hope thanks him for coming with her. Harris says it’s the least he could do as he knows how important Kayla is to her. Hope says she’s family since she was married to Kayla’s brother, Bo. Harris mentions passing a wedding in the plaza. Hope acknowledges that Greece can be romantic. Harris suggests after they find Kayla, maybe they can hang out for awhile and appreciate the beauty. They agree that they would like that. Harris says he will let her unpack and goes to leave, but stops.

Andrew Donovan goes to the police station and greets Shawn. Shawn says he hasn’t seen him in forever while Andrew jokes about missing the last family reunions. Shawn mentions needing to get everyone together again. Andrew informs him that it looks like his mom is trying to do that now as Hope is in Greece, trying to find Kayla.

Kayla tries to escape the cabin in Greece but Bo appears at the door and asks if she’s going somewhere.

Harris and Hope almost kiss but are interrupted by Steve arriving at the door. Steve tells them that he thinks he’s got a lead on the son of a bitch who took Kayla

Kayla claims to Bo that she was just going out to get fresh air. Bo tells her to let him know and he’ll crack a window. Bo hopes she wasn’t planning to leave, warning that the path is treacherous. Bo tells her that he has dinner but Kayla says she’s not hungry. Bo encourages her to eat because it’s a big night. Bo asks if she’s made any progress on the formula for the serum from the orchid. Kayla responds that she’s working on it. Bo mentions that Dr. Rolf said the formula would reverse aging so it would be worth a fortune that would dwarf Victor’s. Kayla asks if Bo’s goal is just to be richer than Victor. Bo says he just wants to build an empire of his own and getting a back a few years he lost would be a benefit.

Shawn thanks Andrew for the update on the search for Kayla but says he knows he’s here on ISA business. Andrew confirms he’s here to transfer his prisoner. Shawn hopes they lock Megan up for the rest of her miserable life. Shawn and Andrew then head in to the interrogation room where Megan awaits. Megan tells Shawn that she would know his face anywhere and that he reminds her so much of his father.

Tripp is shocked and questions how Stephanie knows Kayla is alive. Stephanie confirms that she talked to her on the phone and heard her voice. Tripp hugs her and calls it unbelievable. Tripp says Steve must be going out of his mind. Stephanie says he’ll be a lot better once he finds her. Tripp doesn’t understand and asks where she is. Stephanie says they don’t know as the connection on the call was horrible, so all they know is that Kayla’s been abducted somewhere in Greece. Tripp asks if Steve is there now. Stephanie confirms that he and Hope just arrived. Stephanie adds that Kayla sounded so scared, so she hopes they get there in time. Tripp encourages that he will and that Kayla has survived this long. Stephanie talks about being unable to sleep since the call and knowing that she’s been alive after all these months. Stephanie wonders if she missed a clue to what Kayla was trying to tell her and wishes she could hear the call over again. Tripp suggests maybe she can.

Harris asks if Steve got a location on Thomas Banks but Steve reveals that Dr. Rolf has been spotted in the area. Harris asks how Steve knows that Rolf is here. Steve says his face is all over the news feeds as he’s an international fugitive, so someone called in a tip while he was ordering takeout but he was able to give the local cops the slip and they believe that he made it off the island. Harris says they were so close. Steve notes that Dr. Rolf was apparently in a hurry and left all his stuff at the hotel, so he’s going to the police station to see if they found anything that can lead them to Thomas Banks and Kayla.

Bo asks Kayla how soon the serum will be ready. Kayla responds that after reviewing Dr. Rolf’s notes, she’s pretty sure there is no chance that she will make that serum for him.

Andrew informs Megan that she is now in the custody of the Salem police department, who will hold her until she is transferred to Statesville prison. Megan continues talking about how Shawn reminds her of his father and remarks that it’s as if she actually succeeded in turning back the clock and made Bo young again. Shawn questions what that is supposed to mean.

Bo asks Kayla what the problem is since she has Dr. Rolf’s notes and he made several batches of the serum. Bo tells her to just follow the directions. Kayla argues that it’s complicated, they’re not in a lab, and the notes are incomplete. Bo asks what she means. Kayla says it’s clear that Dr. Rolf was taking instructions from what was on the three prisms that Megan got last summer. Kayla says she can’t decipher the short hand. Bo questions what she is saying. Kayla declares that without the prisms, there’s no serum. Bo thinks he knows where they might be.

Alex calls the police department in Greece and says he’s ready to move over the funds if he has his items. The officer confirms he does and tells Alex to just wire the money and the prisms are his.

Tripp suggests Stephanie try hypnosis and tells her about how it worked for Allie before. Tripp says Stephanie may have been in shock but her brain may have remembered more than she thinks. Stephanie worries that Marlena just got home but Tripp assures that Marlena would want nothing more than to help find Kayla. Stephanie agrees that she has to try and hopes she remembers something that will bring Kayla home.

Bo tells Kayla that when they left the island, he was going to go get the prisms but they weren’t where he thought they would be. Kayla repeats no prisms, no serum, so there is no reason for him to keep her here. Bo says he might know where they are at as it’s possible that Dr. Rolf left them behind.

Alex prepares his wire transfer to the Greek police. Maggie returns to the office. Alex asks how the board meeting was. Maggie says she was distracted the whole time because she was worried about Alex and his big surprise he has planned. Alex informs her that while she was at the meeting, he cemented the deal, so he’s happy to share. Alex brings up Dr. Rolf. Maggie says he’s currently a fugitive and questions what he has to do with Alex’s deal. Alex reveals that Dr. Rolf was hiding out in Greece but he got away, though he possessed three prisms that are powerful artifacts that Li Shin failed to acquire for DiMera last summer. Maggie mentions hearing of these prisms. Alex talks about how there are reports that the prisms can cure diseases and possibly even reverse aging. Alex asks what if he told her that he was about to secure all of the prisms for Titan.

Shawn questions what Megan meant when she said make Bo young again when she knows he’s been dead for years. Megan claims that she was just saying seeing his face was like traveling back through time. Megan states that she and Bo had a very intense love affair until he settled for Hope. Shawn warns her to keep his parents names out of her mouth as he’s done listening to this nonsense. Shawn argues that she’s hurt his family enough. Megan doesn’t think Hope is suffering that much and says she’s moved on from them and from Bo as well with Harris Michaels. Megan informs Shawn that Harris and Hope are together for real now. Shawn repeats that he’s had enough. Megan mocks him that it’s tough when his mom moves on with a new dad. Shawn warns her to shut her mouth.

Hope and Steve talk about finding Kayla. Steve knows it’s a longshot and maybe implausible to think Dr. Rolf left a clue behind. Steve knows the connection is thin but it’s the only one that they have to Thomas Banks, but Harris says maybe not.

Tripp makes breakfast for Stephanie. Stephanie says she’s not hungry but Tripp encourages her to keep up her strength so that she can help Kayla. Tripp offers to cancel his plans for later so he can make sure she can get in to see Marlena. Stephanie asks if Tripp’s plans are with Wendy. Tripp asks who told her that. Stephanie knows Tripp and Joey were competing for Wendy’s attention in Hong Kong and that Joey backed off, then tried to play matchmaker. Stephanie says that Joey just wants him to be happy and she does too. Stephanie asks if Tripp likes Wendy. Tripp confirms that he does but the problem is that she’s been hanging out with Johnny. Stephanie points out that Wendy is going to dinner with Tripp, so maybe she’s just as interested in him.

Harris reminds Hope of the restaurant where they first met. Harris notes that Megan had him staying in a room upstairs and there was another one of her employees looking for the prisms, Thomas Banks.

Maggie tells Alex that she’s heard rumors of these prisms for years but it sounds like science fiction to her. Alex knows that it’s far fetched but says for the price he’s paying, the risk is worth the reward. Maggie says she will be the judge of that. Maggie asks for the details and who his contact is on this transaction. Alex explains that when he found out Dr. Rolf was in Greece, he reached out to Victor’s people and they put him in touch with the police there and it turned out that when Dr. Rolf evaded capture, he left the prisms in his hotel room. Maggie questions them agreeing to sell the prisms to Alex. Alex confirms that one of the cops did. Alex adds that they are just sitting in an evidence locker and the cops have no idea what they have, so he convinced one of them to sell them to him for a relatively small sum. Alex calls it pretty amazing but Maggie calls it amazingly stupid.

Harris and Hope plan to go show Thomas Banks’ picture around while Steve decides to go see what Dr. Rolf left behind. Hope hopes that one of their longshots pans out.

Bo warns Kayla that he doesn’t have all night and has to get going. Kayla brings up their childhood which gets Bo arguing, but then he tells her it was a nice try to walk him down memory lane to get him to be the old Bo, but he likes who he is. Kayla asks what he’s going to do and if he’s just going to just walk in to a random Greek police station and ask for the prisms. Bo says he’s just going to get her what she needs to decipher Dr. Rolf’s notes and then she will get him what he needs. Kayla questions Bo leaving her in a wine cellar. Bo tells her to try to relax as he then leaves her locked up.

Stephanie asks Tripp about declaring his feelings for Wendy. Stephanie tells him that tonight’s dinner is his once chance to convince her to be with him instead of Johnny. Tripp worries about pressuring her. Stephanie doesn’t think being clear about your intentions is ever a bad thing. Tripp asks if he’s not doing what Alex did to her. Stephanie says that Alex tried to manipulate and control her because that’s who he is. Stephanie adds that unlike Tripp, Alex will do whatever it takes to get what he wants no matter what it costs.

Maggie questions Alex using Titan money to pay off a police officer but Alex argues that it’s not a payoff. Maggie asks if it’s a bribe then. Alex says this is how these people do business and Victor has relationships with them. Maggie questions him not talking to Victor about this. Alex says he wouldn’t go behind her back again because he’s going to prove to her that she can trust him. Maggie accuses him of using Victor’s name and Titan’s money to bribe a government official. Maggie remarks that Alex is now giving a black eye to the company and the family.

Andrew tells Shawn that he knows this is intense and asks if he needs to take a break but Shawn assures that he’s good. Megan comments on Shawn having the same temper as Bo. Shawn declares that he’s done talking about his father as her relationship with him is ancient history. Shawn brings up that Megan’s deal requires her to cooperate fully. Megan says she told Steve that Thomas Banks took Kayla and claims that’s all she knows. Megan adds that he can ask any questions he’d like but it will be a waste of time. Shawn says he will decide that. Megan responds that she is exercising her right to counsel because she wants to make sure this transfer goes off without a hitch. Megan asks for a phone to call her lawyer.

Harris and Hope go to the restaurant where they met. Harris recalls when he first saw her and says no photo could capture the spark in her eye as they then kiss. Hope says they shouldn’t draw attention to themselves while Harris says this is them blending in as a couple caught up in the romance of Greece, so they continue kissing.

Kayla complains about her own brother locking her in a wine cellar to create a youth serum. Kayla then finds a lockbox on one of the shelves of wines.

Bo goes to the police station in Greece and impersonates Shane Donovan. Bo says he’s here about evidence collected from Dr. Rolf’s room and a set of prisms that are extremely powerful and could be dangerous if they fall in to the wrong hands. The cops asks if he has any paperwork of his claim. Bo then questions if he’s saying there’s a problem with a request from the director of the ISA.

Maggie hopes Alex didn’t send anything to this corrupt cop in Greece. Alex states that he was about to when Maggie walked in. Maggie argues that he was doing something so irresponsible. Alex argues that acquiring these prisms for Titan is a once in a lifetime opportunity that could change the landscape of science and medicine while also humiliating DiMera Enterprises. Maggie doubts the scientific claims but says it’s still bribery and smuggling. Maggie vetoes Alex’s surprise and orders him to call the dirty cop back to tell him the deal is off. Maggie warns that she will deal with him later and asks if he understands. Alex reluctantly says that he does as Maggie exits the office.

Bo tells the cop that he needs the prisms now as it’s a matter of international security. The cop then gets a call from Alex. He tells Alex that there is a man from the ISA asking about the prisms. Alex begrudgingly tells the cop to go ahead and hand them over because the deal is off and then hangs up. Bo threatens to go over the cop’s head but the cop apologizes for the delay and directs him to wait in a room while he goes to retrieve the prisms for him. After Bo leaves, Steve arrives and tells the cop that he hopes he can help him.

Kayla searches for something open the lockbox she found. She finds a bottle opener and gets the box open.

Tripp offers to go with Stephanie to see Marlena and cancel his plans with Wendy. Stephanie tells him not to do that and thanks him for the offer but assures she’ll be okay. Stephanie adds that if anything happens or she hears from Steve, she’ll let him know. Tripp wishes her luck. Stephanie tells him the same and that Wendy would be very lucky to end up with a guy like him. Tripp thanks her for saying that. Stephanie gets a call and answers, hoping it’s Kayla.

After leaving the interrogation room, Shawn tells Andrew that he’s sorry for not keeping his cool with Megan. Andrew thinks he did fine, given the circumstances. They talk about wishing they could listen to clients and lawyers as it would make things easier. Shawn hopes Megan plays this straight but worries she could use it as another opportunity to go after Hope.

Megan uses her phone call to call Thomas Banks and give him a heads up that a lot of people are looking for him. Megan adds that he can return the favor by doing one little thing for her. Megan instructs Thomas to find Bo Brady and shoot anyone who gets in his way.

Hope asks Harris if he’s ready to do what they came for. Harris confirms that he is and pulls out a photo of Thomas Banks, wondering who they should talk to first. Hope tells him to follow her lead.

Steve introduces himself to the cop and says he’s working with the ISA and needs to see the evidence found in Dr. Rolf’s room. The cop responds that he’s afraid his colleague already made that request as he arrived a few minutes before him. Steve asks if he’s still there. The cop informs him that “Mr. Donovan” is in the other room. Steve questions Shane being there. The cop suggests Steve join him while they check to see what’s taking so long on their end. Steve goes to the room looking for Shane, but is shocked to find Bo instead.

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: We do make a really great team. I know we do. What is going on with me?

Brooke: Oh, hi, honey. Wow, you got here early. Oh, okay, so I set the table and ridge is on his way over.

Hope: Well actually, I’m– I’m so sorry to be doing this to you, mom, but we won’t be joining you for dinner tonight. I just– I need to spend some alone time with liam and the kids, they– they’re um, spending the night at their friends, so.

Brooke: Is everything all right? Something with you and thomas.

Hope: What? No, there’s– there’s no me and thomas.

>>Brooke: No, I– I just meant–

Hope: Mom, it’s– it’s fine. Everything’s fine, so. I hope you enjoy your night with ridge.

Thomas: We didn’t want you spending the whole night by yourself.

Steffy: Well, thank you for stopping by and helping me get the kids to sleep, especially while finn is working.

Thomas: Does he live here by the way? ‘Cause I never see him. He’s always at the hospital.

Steffy: What can I say? That’s life being married to a devoted doctor.

Thomas: He is devoted, all right.

Taylor: You know, I have a question. How do you really feel about finn saving sheila’s life?

Liam: Hi. Uh, what– what’s– what’s this?

Hope: I just, I– I wanted to do something special and romantic for my husband since we, um, got into our little disagreement at work.

Liam: Um, yeah. Uh, where– where are the– the– the kids?

Hope: Oh. Uh, douglas and beth are at a sleepover. I just wanted some time for us alone tonight so we could reconnect because I– I am really grateful for you and how patient you’ve been. I know it hasn’t been easy, me working with thomas.

Taylor: You know, I can’t imagine how overwhelming that must have been for finn, you know, trying to process all those emotions while making a pivotal decision.

Thomas: Trying to keep sheila alive.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Well, finn had to fulfill his duty as a doctor and honestly, I don’t think he would’ve been able to live with himself if he hadn’t intervened.

Thomas: Well, um, so far as I know, it seems that sheila is stable and incarcerated.

Taylor: Yeah, that’s what I heard too.

Steffy: Sheila carter is finally behind bars.

Taylor: Thanks to the dynamic duo of your dad and bill.

Steffy: Well, it makes sense why dad’s been M.I.A. For so long.

Thomas: Yeah, that actually, uh, brings up a little question. Why– why are you here? Shouldn’t you be hanging out with dad?

Taylor: No, what? Come on. As– as a matter of fact, your dad is having dinner with brooke.

Ridge: I brought you this bottle of french water you like so much.

Brooke: Oh, la, la. My favorite.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Thank you for coming, ridge.

Ridge: Of course. Where’s everybody? I thought it was gonna be hope, liam, the kids.

Brooke: Oh, yes, well, it was supposed to be everybody, but then hope canceled on me in the last minute and decided she’d rather spend some time with her husband.

Ridge: Okay, so it’s just the two of us.

Brooke: Yeah, it is. As much as I wanted to have a family dinner, I’m happy to have you all to myself.

Age-related

Liam: I mean, you– I don’t know, you looked right into my eyes and– and you told me you weren’t gonna be working with thomas anymore.

Hope: Because that– that was the plan. I didn’t want to work with him, liam. Then, I was presented with some hard truths and I changed my mind and I’m allowed to do that.

Liam: You are. No, of course you are. Um and I’m– I know that you’re under a lot of pressure. It’s just walking in on what I walked in on wasn’t helping.

Hope: I fell and thomas tried to break that fall and– liam, you have been nothing but supportive and respectful of my career. I mean, I– I know you– you’re one of my biggest advocates for hope for the future.

Liam: Of course, I am. I’m– I’m so proud, I am so deeply proud of everything that you’ve accomplished. And I mean, god, if I, you know, if– if I haven’t made that clear, then maybe that’s on me.

>>Hope: No, liam, liam. I feel your support. Even in our disagreements, like today. I can feel how much you love me and I appreciate it so much. And so, tonight, all I wanna do is spend every minute of the rest of the evening showing you exactly how much I love and appreciate you.

Thomas: So, dad’s with brooke tonight?

Steffy: At her place. Just the two of them?

Thomas: Like a date.

Taylor: I don’t think so. No, I mean, it’s– it’s um– it’s hope and liam and the kiddos too, so…

Thomas: Oh, so just with his other family?

Steffy: Wait, you and brooke agreed to swear off dad.

Taylor: Yes, that is the plan. But, you know, your dad just got back and brooke just, you know, she wanted to have dinner with– with her family, you know?

Thomas: Sure, and that makes sense. I mean, I’m sure everyone’s gonna be okay so long as brooke doesn’t cook.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Steffy: Look, we’re not suggesting that you need to be concerned or anything.

[ Taylor groaning ]

Taylor: Listen, brooke and I made a promise to each other. You know, we– we’re putting our friendship over feelings.

Steffy: Including dad?

Taylor: Especially him, yes.

Thomas: So, he’s just hanging out over at his old house where he used to live with his ex-wife for years.

Taylor: Ah-ha, yep. Yep, that’s where he is.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: And hope and liam and beth and douglas are there. Come on, it’s– it’s not a cozy dinner for two.

Ridge: This is good, good. Does it have shallots in it?

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Brooke: You’ll have to ask the chef at il giardino. I ordered from deacon.

Ridge: Deacon?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Well, he deserves a big tip. He helped us with sheila.

Brooke: You know who deserves a big tip? You do because you were determined to get sheila out of our lives and that’s exactly what you did. So, cheers, to you.

Ridge: Cheers.

Brooke: Mm. We wouldn’t be able to sit here and have this very peaceful dinner with sheila out there running around and that’s thanks to you and bill and deacon.

Ridge: It was a rough couple of months, but it was worth it.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s been crazy.

Ridge: So, what else? What did I miss? How’s liam with thomas and hope working together?

Brooke: It’s been a bit of a strain on their marriage.

Ridge: I’m sorry to hear that. For what it’s worth, I think thomas has changed.

Brooke: I don’t disagree.

Ridge: You don’t what?

Brooke: I don’t–

Ridge: You don’t disagree. Where’s that coming from?

Brooke: Okay. I am being, I’m being–

Ridge: Cautiously.

Brooke: Cautiously optimistic.

Ridge: Same.

Brooke: Yeah. I just wish thomas never came between us.

Ridge: Yeah. He owns what he did and so do I. I wish I would’ve talked to you, but I didn’t and that’s why we are where we are.

Brooke: Yeah. For bathroom odors that linger.

Liam: I hate when we argue.

Hope: Oh, we rarely do.

Liam: Yeah, but I really, really, really hate when we argue about thomas.

Hope: I know. I don’t even want to think about him tonight.

Liam: Okay.

[ Cell phone ringing ]

Hope: Um, I’m just– I’m gonna silence it.

Liam: Thank you. Just two of us, kind of nice. Maybe– maybe we can use more nights like this.

Hope: We do. We can use more.

Brooke: Aren’t you glad I didn’t cook?

Ridge: Why– why would you say that? Your cooking is always interesting.

Brooke: Uh-huh. Yeah. Well, that was my welcome home gift to you.

Ridge: That was your gift to me? Not cooking was your gift?

Brooke: Well, we all know that cooking is not my talent but you, on the other hand…

Ridge: I can whip up a steak or two.

>Brooke: Mm-hmm. Always very tender.

Ridge: The steak, you mean?

Brooke: Oh, do you remember? Oh, my gosh.

Ridge: Remember what?

Brooke: When rj was little and he made us that breakfast in bed. Remember? For our anniversary?

Ridge: Oh, when he almost walked in on us?

Brooke: Yeah. Oh, my god, I’m so glad that never happened. But he was so cute carrying that tray, which was as big as he was.

Ridge: Oh, he was– he was very sweet. And the oatmeal was good. He didn’t get the cooking skill from you. He’s– it was all great until, after…

Brooke: Oh, god, yeah, it was after.

Ridge: Yeah, because he wanted to clean up.

Brooke: That was so sweet.

Ridge: It’s very sweet. It’s very sweet. It’s not sweet to put dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher.

Brooke: I know.

Ridge: Suds everywhere, remember that?

Brooke: Oh, that was a disaster.

Ridge: It was up our knees.

Brooke: It was everywhere.

Ridge: We had a suds fight, the three of us.

Brooke: We were slipping and falling and I almost fell out of my top.

Ridge: What? Oh yeah, I do remember.

Brooke: Oh, I remember. Oh, my gosh. We were laughing and laughing. Oh, it’s– it’s funny. It’s nice, you know, to go down memory lane with you. Just kind of warms my heart.

Ridge: And mine too. It’s nice to laugh.

Brooke: It is. I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve missed you.

Ridge: I’ve missed you.

Brooke: Well, at least no matter what happens in the future, we always have our memories, right? Our incredible memories.

Ridge: It’s getting late.

Brooke: Yeah, yeah it is.

Ridge: Um, if it’s okay with you, I’ll just finish my wine and you can– you can go to bed.

Brooke: Okay, yeah. Are you sure?

Ridge: Yeah, I’ll lock up.

Brooke: Okay.

Ridge: I had a nice time.

Brooke: Me too. I did too. Oh. Well.

Ridge: Well.

Brooke: Good night.

Ridge: Good night. I brought in ensure max protein,

Hope: Nothing, I’m fine.

Liam: Okay, okay.

Thomas: Has brooke ever been able to resist dad before?

Taylor: No.

Thomas: I mean, her feelings for him are pretty intense.

Steffy: Mom, I’m sure brooke values your friendship as much as you do. I’m just hoping that she holds up her end of the agreement.

Taylor: We will see. You know, brooke is a grown woman and so am I, and we made a promise to each other. Honesty and integrity when it comes to your dad. We’re gonna stick to it. Simple.

Brooke: Oh. Oh, god, ridge.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: You’re still here. What, what are you doing?

Ridge: Uh, I told you I was gonna finish my wine. What are you doing? I thought you were going to sleep.

Brooke: I was, I just was gonna wash my face and crawl in bed and I realized I didn’t blow out the candles.

Ridge: I told you I was gonna take care of that. I was gonna lock up before I left.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah. I must’ve dozed off. What, um, you sleep in that?

Brooke: Ah, yes, why?

Ridge: Lucky sheets.

Brooke: The same sheets you used to sleep on.

Ridge: I remember.

Brooke: Mm. It wasn’t that long ago.

Ridge: No, some things, they just pop back in your head, especially seeing… seeing that?

Brooke: Yeah, well, some things are hard to forget, huh?

Ridge: Some things are worth remembering.

Brooke: How’s that wine?

Ridge: It’s good and expensive, just how I like it.

Brooke: You’re savoring every sip.

Ridge: Or maybe I just don’t wanna leave.

Brooke: Yeah, I know the feeling. I was upstairs thinking about how nice it is that you’re here. You and me under the same roof, the way it used to be. I miss it.

Ridge: I miss you.

Brooke: You know… taylor and I, we made a pact and I would like to honor it. So, you and I, we can’T.

Ridge: Yeah, I know.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Excuse me. Okay, good night.

Brooke: Oh, oops.

Sally: [ Big breaths ] Nate.

Nate: Hey.

Sally: Hey. Hey.

Nate: How’s it going?

Sally: Um, not great. Actually, I’m– I’m really sorry to bother you, but I’m– I’m not feeling very well.

Nate: Okay. Uh, in– in what way? What’s the problem?

Sally: I think something might be wrong with my baby.

Detective chancellor: Yeah, this is detective chancellor. I was hoping to find out when I could expect the toxicology report on the blood that was drawn from phyllis summers. I apologize for the rush request. I understand that these things take time. I could just really use this one as soon as possible. Okay. Thank you. Thank you for understanding. Yeah, I’ll be expecting your call. All right.

Abby: Hi, chance.

Adam: Hey sharon. Can I, uh, get my usual?

Sharon: Uh. I’m sorry, what?

Adam: Uh, I was just trying to order some coffee. Everything okay?

Sharon: Yeah. Um… I’m just having a hard time focusing this morning. I guess I’m still processing. Wait, you don’t know.

Adam: Uh, apparently not. What is it that I don’t know?

Sharon: Well, there’s no easy way to say this, but… last night phyllis passed away.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Thank you for coming over. Yeah. I– I know it’s been a heavy morning. How you doing?

Lily: I mean, I don’t know. I was with daniel last night. I will say I know phyllis wasn’t everyone’s favorite person, but she loved her kids, and her kids loved her.

Devon: Yeah. Of course. They have to be in shock right now.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: There’s just… nothing ever prepares you for losing a parent this young in life. I’m sure daniel’s grateful though to have you around since, you know exactly what he’s going through.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I wish you and I didn’t know it so well.

Devon: Me too. But… when you deal with loss, they can make you put things into perspective and realize that you can’t wait around to right the wrongs in your life. You have to do it now while you’re here, and while you can. Which is one of the reasons why I asked you to come over, actually. I want to continue our conversation about chancellor-winters.

Victor: Thank you, sweetheart.

Victoria: I can’t stop thinking about nicholas.

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: How’s he doing?

Victor: I think he needs some time.

Victoria: Poor summer. My heart goes out to her.

Nikki: Thank you. I know. We saw her this morning. She seems to be teetering between being too composed and on the verge of a breakdown. And she’s insisting on planning phyllis’ memorial.

Victoria: Well, she shouldn’t have to deal with that right now. I can help her.

Nikki: No, she doesn’t want any help.

Victoria: Well, that’s crazy. She’s in no shape to take that on.

Nikki: No, she’s not. But those are her wishes. So, I just told her that we’re there for her and ready to help her with whatever she needs, and we’ll give her her space.

Victoria: Well, then I guess I shouldn’t go see her today.

Nikki: It might be better if you wait for her emotions to settle down a bit.

Victor: By the way, sweetheart. You saw tucker? How did that go?

Victoria: Oh, well, that’s very easy to answer. Nowhere.

Victor: What? You weren’t able to make any headway with him?

Victoria: I withdrew our offer to buy the company. I’m no longer interested in mccall unlimited.

Victor: Why would

Victor: Why would you withdraw the offer?

Victoria: It’s already been too much of a headache and I can only see more migraines in the future.

Victor: You know damn well that a deal of this size brings with it headaches.

Victoria: Well, in this case, the– the pitfalls outweigh any upside, both for the company and for the family. I just don’t think it’s worth it, dad. And I told tucker myself last night.

Victor: This was not your decision to make alone. You should have consulted with your father.

Victoria: I am the ceo of newman enterprises, aren’t I?

Victor: Are you forgetting who put you in this chair?

Victoria: Then I take it that you don’t agree with my decision.

Victor: No, I don’T. And all this nonsense about headaches and obstacles. The real issue is adam, isn’t it?

Victoria: You’re mistaken. Adam is your concern. For me, it’s all about the business and what’s best for the business.

Victor: That’s what you keep on saying.

Victoria: Yes. Well, I’ve reevaluated the pros and the cons and the potential risks. Now, you know what? I just changed my mind. Yes, dad. And you know what? There’s no potential room for growth. There’s just not. I would be so happy to show you the numbers.

Victor: And I’m sure you called all the numbers to support your position. What I’m questioning is is your motivation.

Victoria: I always have this company and our family’s best interests at heart. That’s my motivation, dad. And if you don’t believe that, then why did you trust me to be the custodian of your legacy?

Victor: Why are you so reluctant to have adam reunite with his family? Why are you so against him having his own success?

Victoria: How is handing him a company a success of his own? Look, if you want to acquire mccall unlimited and hand it to adam, well, by all means, feel free to do so. But do it independent of newman because this company should have no part of it.

Victor: Don’t ever forget who handed you this company.

Adam: In the blink of an eye, phyllis is gone. What was she doing marrying stark of all people? That sounds off. I’m sure.

Sharon: Sadly, we’ll never be able to ask her.

Adam: Uh, have you spoken to nick about it?

Sharon: Well, not since last night. I was with him when all of the information was rolling in and then when phyllis’ death was confirmed, obviously, he was very focused on summer.

Adam: Hmm. Well, I’m sure he’ll reach out to you when he gets the chance to.

Sharon: I hope he does. You know, he was really there for me when ray died and I want him to know that I can be that person for him now, especially since the situations are so similar.

Adam: You two have been through something like this before. Together. I’m sure that he will reach out.

Sharon: Losing cassie and ray, I feel especially qualified to help people through this. I know what it feels like when fate reaches out and snatches the person you love and the inevitable guilt of things that were said, things that were left unsaid and how that weighs on you.

Adam: Sharon, nick will reach out. Okay? And you will be a great comfort to him. But you can’t be everything to everyone all the time, even though you try. You have to take care of yourself too.

Sharon: I will, if you will.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Deal.

[ Sighs ] I, um, have been summoned. Can we pick this up later?

Sharon: Yeah, of course.

Adam: Okay. I’ll check back in with you.

Sharon: Yeah.

Abby: The news about phyllis is sickening.

Chance: Yeah. Um, I feel sorry for summer and for daniel.

Abby: Yeah. You never expect that it’s gonna be the last time that you see someone. But thank you so much for your hard work. I know the family really appreciates it.

Chance: Just doing my job. Anyway. Nice to runing into you.

Abby: Wait, chance. Um– I don’t want to intrude at a time like this, but I’ve been looking for you. There’s something that we need to discuss.

Devon: Everything changed for me last night. Just being in that room and seeing those pictures on the wall and hearing his favorite music all night long.

Lily: I know. I felt like he was there with us.

Devon: Yeah. And I’m sure he was. And then, hearing about the news of phyllis this morning, it reminded me about that day that we lost him all over again. And made me think about how we really don’t have a lot of time here on this planet. And the most important thing is keeping the people that you love close to you.

Lily: I agree. I do. I mean, time is a really valuable resource, and I really don’t want to waste any more of it.

Devon: Yeah. Neither do I, at all. You know, you’re my sister. I love you and there should never be anything that’s bigger than that. Oh, I wanna give our partnership at chancellor-winters a second shot.

Nate: I gotta say, I– I thought you looked a little different at the gala. But, uh, I learned a long time ago to never assume a woman is pregnant.

Sally: Good call. Yeah, I– I haven’t told a lot of people and I promise I’m not in the habit of just flagging down doctors as they’re casually walking by. So, I thank you, uh, for stopping and listening. Um. Sometimes after I eat, I get nauseous, and I get this, like, fluttering feeling in my stomach and I just am not really sure it’s normal.

Nate: Okay. Well, I can’t be 100% certain and this wouldn’t be an official diagnosis. Okay? Uh. Who’s your obstetrician?

Sally: Dr. Chandler.

Nate: Good, good. She’s the best. You should probably schedule an appointment with her just to be sure. But from what you’ve told me, I’m confident I know what’s going on.

Sally: Okay. Can you connect the dots for me?

Nate: Well, that weird fluttery feeling happens after you eat, right?

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Nate: And then you tend to get relief once you walk around a bit.

Sally: Yeah. Yeah. That’s right.

Nate: Is it possible you get this feeling after you’ve eaten a little too much?

Sally: Uh. Well, an omelet, toast, and double hash browns. So, yes, it’s possible.

Nate: And you’re feeling mild nausea but nowhere near morning sickness.

Sally: Yes.

Nate: Well, I think what’s happening is a cause for celebration.

Sally: What exactly am I celebrating?

Nate: The baby is starting to move.

[ Laughs ] -What’s he doing? -He’s cleaning the trash cans. I’m– I’m playing catch up now.

Sally: So, when I eat, the baby eats as well and the food’s not only providing me with energy, but the baby too.

Nate: Someone was napping in biology class.

Sally: Is it that obvious? I’m– I’m playing catch up now. It’s just there’s something new every day.

Nate: So, you’re right. The nutrition gives the baby a little boost, which in turn contributes to your queasiness.

Sally: So, when I get up and I move around, it’s like I’m rocking my little guy or girl to sleep, which is– soothes them, so the fluttering eases up.

Nate: That’s pretty much it.

Sally: Thank you, nate. You have excellent bedside manner for a media executive.

Nate: I would take that as a compliment. Well, it looks like my take-out order’s here, if you’re good.

Sally: Uh. Yeah, please go enjoy some nausea free carbs for me. And if you wouldn’t mind keeping this to yourself.

Nate: It’s not my news to share. But, um, if you don’t mind, I’d like to leave you with some words of advice. Just three things. Try to eat frequent smaller meals, opposed to fewer large ones, okay? That should lessen the discomfort of sharing a full stomach with a growing baby. Two, chamomile tea helps with digestion.

Sally: Ah, good to know. What’s the third?

Nate: Cherish these moments. They don’t last forever.

Lily: Ah. Okay. Um, you wanna come back to chancellor-winters?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Have you thought about this enough?

Devon: I don’t need to give it a lot of time. I can feel like it’s the right thing to do.

Lily: Well, is this because of what happened yesterday? Because I mean, that was a lot for everyone.

Devon: What do you think? This is just like an emotional decision I’m making?

Lily: Well, I just wanna make sure that it’s not, you know. Our– our company, our relationship has been through a lot of turmoil. So, I wanna make sure that we’re being logical about this.

Devon: I’m being very logical about it. The only thing that matters to me is protecting our relationship, as brother and sister and as colleagues, I just want to hit the reset button.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I want that too, of course, I do, you know, but I– I’m scared, right? Like, what if we end up in the same place? Like, what if it happens again?

Devon: It’s not gonna happen again, we won’t let it. And in order to do that, we have to have open communication between each other at all times. And have total honesty, even if it hurts each other’s feelings.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, listen, I agree. I think last time we both had our own agenda, and we weren’t honest with each other.

Devon: Exactly. So, can we do that moving forward? Have total honesty?

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Okay. Well, in light of total honesty. I mean, are you just doing this to mend things with me or because you’re afraid of losing hamilton winters?

Devon: Well, of course, I want to hang on to my company, but no, it’s– the main part of all this is not losing my sister because we’re all we have.

Lily: That’s exactly what aunt mimi said.

Devon: She’s a smart woman. Now, I wanna be partners with you again and I wanna make something out of chancellor-winters that we can both be proud of. And that catherine and neil would be proud of.

[ Lily inhaling ]

Lily: All right. Well, I gotta take yes for an answer.

Devon: Yeah. Good. Cheers.

Lily: Cheers.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Chance: Dom is fine, right?

Abby: Yes. Yes, he’s fine. I’m sorry. I should have led with that.

Chance: Um. Okay. Well, I’m not sure what else there is to talk about.

Abby: Chance, I want to be um, completely transparent with you and this isn’t gonna be easy to hear. Devon asked me and dominic to move in with him.

Chance: Hmm.

[ Chance exhaling ] What do you want me to say here, abby?

Abby: I haven’t made any final decisions. I– I don’t know what I’m gonna do yet, but I just– I wanted to talk to you first because I don’t want to make visitations any more uncomfortable than they already are.

Chance: Uncomfortable? How are they uncomfortable?

Abby: They just are. You know that. And I don’t want to do anything to add to it. And also, this is a pretty small town. People talk, so I know it’ll be a point of gossip.

Chance: Well, I think everyone has other things on their mind at the moment.

Abby: I know. And I know how busy you are. I just, um… I wanted to talk to you before I make a final decision.

Chance: You’re actually asking for my opinion on this?

[ Heavy footsteps ]

Victor: Hey, son. I assume you heard about last night’s events.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: I just found out from sharon. Uh, I mean, it’s– what a tragedy.

Victor: Yup.

Adam: Phyllis and I, we weren’t exactly close, but… she was never boring. There was times I thought we had a lot in common but, uh, obviously, um, I don’t feel the loss others do.

Victor: Well, I appreciate your candor.

Adam: Well, then let’s, uh, let’s get to the point. What’s going on with tucker’s company?

Victor: Well son, it seems we have hit the roadblock, you know.

Adam: Another one?

Victor: Yeah. Victoria is no longer interested in acquiring mccall unlimited.

Adam: If I’m not mistaken, newman enterprises still belongs to you. So, override her.

Victor: Son, I put victoria in charge for a reason. And I’m not gonna disrespect her decisions.

Adam: Right. Because whenever it’s a choice between me and victoria, it’s not really a choice, it’s game over.

Victor: Son, please don’t go there, all right? I have not given up on acquiring mccall unlimited. I just want us to rethink our approach.

Adam: I don’t think I’m up for that, okay? Nothing is gonna change in our family hierarchy. Oh, I was just– I was fooling myself thinking that anything was gonna change. I think it’s best that we go our separate ways, okay? I’m gonna figure out my future on my own.

Devon: How is, uh, daniel doing?

Lily: Well, I mean, he’s distraught, obviously. He just kept talking over and over about how all of the ways that phyllis could have been saved.

Devon: Yeah, that’s what you do. Your mind goes in 100 different directions.

Lily: Yeah. Absolutely. And he kept beating himself up because, you know, they were in a bad place in her last days. And then he kept thinking maybe he contributed to the stress that made her pass out.

Devon: He can’t do that. He just has to take himself through it. I’d like to think that I’m more at peace with losing neil and hillary, but… you know that hole in your heart never goes away.

Lily: No. And unfortunately, daniel is just at the beginning of his journey.

Devon: This whole thing with phyllis just reminds you that you gotta embrace life. And that’s exactly what I intend to do and not just when it comes to business either.

Lily: Well, what else is going on?

Devon: Well, I asked abby to move in with me.

Abby: I’m not as much asking your opinion on this as I am–

Chance: Just go for it. I’m sure dominic would love it. I assume that you and devon would too. So, no reason not to, right?

Abby: I want to consider your feelings.

Chance: Let me worry about my feelings. And I’m fine with it. Really.

Abby: Okay. Well, um, if I do move out, then you should move back into the chancellor estate. It’s your birthright.

Chance: It’s just a house, abby.

Abby: It’s– it’s not just a house. It– it’s more than that. It’s the chancellor house, a chancellor should live there.

Chance: Dominic does. He’s a chancellor, right?

Abby: Yes, he is and… and maybe one day, it’ll all be his.

Chance: Yeah, of course. It’s his birthright.

Abby: You know, I just– I really don’t feel comfortable living there without you and I get the feeling that nina doesn’t want me there.

Chance: Yeah, she may have mentioned something like that to me as well. I tell you though, it’s jill you need to worry about.

Abby: Okay. Well, um– I’ll leave. But um, maybe I can just keep dominic’s things there and keep his room the same. He loves it there and then everything can just be exactly the way it is now, you know, when he visits you and I won’t have to disrupt his life more than I already have.

Chance: That’s fine with me. I’m gonna do what’s best for dom, whatever I think that is.

Abby: Well, thank you, chance. Um… I hope you have a great rest of your day.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nate: Hey.

Victoria: Hi, come in.

Nate: I just got your text. Thought I’d stop by before I bury my nose in these quarterly reports. What’s going on?

Victoria: I know that you did everything that you could to help phyllis last night.

Nate: Yeah. Thankfully, my medical training kicked back in.

Victoria: Did you and elena figure out what was wrong with her?

Nate: No, and the lack of answers has been weighing on elena. She’s been trying to figure out what we missed, wondering what we could have done to save her before she got into that ambulance.

Victoria: What about you?

Nate: I have questions too, but I can let go in a way elena can’T. Holding other people’s lives in my hands is no longer my responsibility. So, yes, I do wonder what happened to phyllis, truly, but my focus is here at newman. Man: I’m not slowing down anytime soon. ch?

[ Adam sighs ]

Sally: Oh. Where are you rushing off to?

Adam: Um, I’m not sure. Um, nowhere?

Sally: Oh, well, you sure are in a hurry to get there. I’m just here for some chamomile tea.

Adam: Ah. What’s wrong? You all right?

Sally: We’re fine. Uh. But if going nowhere could wait a few minutes, maybe you’d like to sit with me?

Nate: Did you have something specific you wanted to talk about when you sent me the text?

Victoria: Yes. I wanted you to be the first person to know, outside of the family of course. That I am no longer pursuing mccall unlimited.

Nate: I thought that acquisition was the top priority for you. What changed?

Victoria: Can I confess something to you, completely off the record?

Nate: Of course.

Victoria: Well, I denied it to my father, but he was right. The whole mccall thing, it is about adam. Not just for me, but for all of us. If we do manage to acquire mccall, my father is determined to install adam as ceo. And I just keep asking myself if that is the case, why would I… and the company I run, hand adam an empire?

[ Sally sighs ]

Adam: I assume that you heard about phyllis.

Sally: Yeah, it’s pretty awful.

Adam: Yeah. How’s nick doing? I know it can’t be easy for him. I know there’s a lot of– a lot of history there.

Sally: Uh, he’s pretty torn up, especially for summer.

Adam: I don’t know how I’d be able to console connor if chelsea…

Sally: Yeah, he’s struggling with not knowing how to make things better for her.

Adam: Ah. That’s one of the hardest things about parenting is accepting that you cannot protect your kids from everything. No matter how much you want to.

Sally: Well, I’m about to find out what that’s like.

Adam: You will love your child like nobody else.

Sally: I am sure. Yeah, he’s coping with his own grief too. I mean– I mean, he loved phyllis for a really long time.

Adam: And you’re not jealous of that?

Sally: No. I mean, he fell out of love with phyllis long before we ever got together and she is the mother of his child. And like you just said, that is a bond that nothing can break. (Male announcer) important information for viewers age 50 to 85.

Sally: Sounve but th a good sign,

Sally: You seemed pretty discombobulated when I first ran into you… heading out of here with no clear direction is never a good sign, where you’re concerned.

Adam: Yeah. Well, um… I thought that I was running towards something positive but those plans came to a screeching halt.

Sally: You care to elaborate?

Adam: Victor was gonna buy a company that I was going to head.

Sally: Sounds promising.

Adam: But then he pulled the rug out from under me.

Sally: Well, that sounds like victor.

Adam: I’m frustrated. Not only because he chose victoria over me, but, um… for a brief moment, I thought he might choose me.

Sally: Well, I’m sorry that he hurt you again. I mean, we always want to believe the best in the people that we care about. That’s why it is so devastating whenever they let us down. Look at it this way. If victor handed you a company to run, you would have to answer to him and you would be in a never-ending competition with victoria. Is that what you really want?

Adam: Maybe not.

Sally: Everything I said to you when you were ceo of newman media still stands. You are intelligent and highly capable. You have one of the sharpest business minds I have ever seen. You do not need victor to succeed. All you need is you.

Sharon: So, I saw you with abby earlier. Is everything all right?

Chance: I don’t really know how to answer that question. Yes. No. I mean, nothing’s wrong, but… that wasn’t exactly what you would call, uh, small talk, you know?

Sharon: Yeah. I’ve been there. Marriage dissolves and you just try to remain civil and pleasant.

Chance: Yeah, I’m doing my best.

Sharon: Well, tell me… what happened with abby?

Chance: Well, she asked me what I thought about her and dominic moving in with devon.

Sharon: Oh. Wow. Well, what did you do?

Chance: What could I do? Gave the idea a thumbs up.

Lily: Wow. Abby’s moving in with you.

Devon: Yeah. It feels right to both of us. We both know how we feel about each other. Why not?

Lily: Uh, maybe because your ex just moved out.

Devon: Okay. So how much time am i supposed to let go by, then?

Lily: Well, I mean, don’t you think having abby move in with you is just gonna cause amanda more pain?

Devon: No, I don’T. How? She already assumes we live together anyway. She said so last night. And we had a decent conversation, where I feel like there’s some actual closure for the first time. Which is what motivated me to ask abby… and I love her. It’s not a fling, it’s not just some random person, you know. She’s been my best friend for years. She’s the mother of my son. So, us all together as a family feels good to me. And having her and dominic under this roof makes all the sense in the world. (Imitating chicken clucks)

Sharon: Wow. Giving abby the okay to move in with devon, that must have been hard.

Chance: You know, the more I think about it… it really wasn’t that hard.

Sharon: Well, that’s good. Maybe this could mark the end of that. You can put it in the past and that could be really freeing.

Chance: Yeah. You know, it’s tough. There’s never gonna be a clean break with abby. We always have dominic connecting us, you know?

Sharon: Well, you can continue to resent abby for what she did and who she did it with. But abby’s out there living her life and she’s not gonna feel the sting. The only person your anger is gonna affect is you. So… it seems to me that the sooner you let that go the better.

Chance: Well, the way I see it, sharon, is you got two options here. I either pay you for this excellent therapy session or I take you to dinner.

Sharon: And those are my only two options?

Chance: Yeah, those are the only two options.

Sharon: Okay. Dinner.

Devon: Pretty lady.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Can I come in?

Devon: You know, you don’t have to ask me that question.

Abby: Um…

Devon: What’s up?

Abby: So, I haven’t been able to get your offer out of my mind.

Devon: Well, I don’t want to put any pressure on you to make a decision. Okay?

Abby: No pressure, but, you know, my biggest concern was chance.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: So, I went and talked to him.

Devon: Really? How did that go?

Abby: Well, he wasn’t ecstatic, but… he gave us the go ahead.

Devon: Really?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Well, that’s the best news, isn’t it?

Abby: Yeah. I mean, I think now that that’s handled, the rest seems doable.

Devon: So, are you saying what I think you’re saying?

Abby: I love you. And I would very much like to make a home with you and our son.

Victoria: If we succeed in buying mccall, I am not gonna be able to stop my dad from handing it to adam. But if the acquisition is a failure, then my company takes a hit. And that means it’s a no-win situation for me.

Nate: Makes sense to me. Personally, I’m happy you’re backing off because it leaves the door open for devon to purchase it. If he chooses.

Victoria: Oh. Win-win for everyone, then.

Nate: Victoria, your instincts are always spot on. I admire your ability to pivot when it’s called for.

Victoria: Yes, well, being nimble is a business secret of mine.

Nate: Thank you for sharing your secrets with me. It’S… nice to be in your inner circle.

Victoria: You’re an asset. I would definitely be a fool not to recognize that.

Nate: Good to hear. Though, I realize that most of the time that circle is you.

Victoria: I can reach out for help whenever the situation arises.

Nate: Yeah? So, you’re thinking of expanding this inner circle of yours?

Victoria: Just by one.

Nikki: It went that badly with adam?

Victor: Well, let me put it this way. He’s still as obstinate as always. He insists that I… force victoria to acquire mccall unlimited.

Nikki: Oh, well, you’re not considering doing that, are you?

Victor: No, of course not. But that answer didn’t sit well with him.

Nikki: Well, I take it as a good thing. Now, we can finally get past the pursuit of a company that tucker clearly wants to sell to devon.

Victor: There’s only one problem. Devon is no longer interested in acquiring another company.

Nikki: What happened?

Victor: Devon wants to rejoin chancellor-winters.

Nikki: Wow, that’s an interesting turn of events.

Victor: It’s not surprising, to be honest with you. After phyllis’s death, I guess everyone is rethinking their relationship with their family. I certainly am not gonna waste any more time being away from my family, including adam. So as far as I’m concerned, mccall unlimited is still on the market.

Adam: Thank you… for always knowing the right thing to say. It’s part of the reason you’re gonna be an amazing mother to our little boy.

Sally: Wait, what? Little boy?

Adam: It’s my track record. All boys, so far.

Sally: Okay. Well, maybe that means you’re overdue for a daughter.

Adam: Hey, I would love a little girl. I mean, I’m gonna be thrilled either way.

Sally: Well, the way this kid refuses to let me enjoy a meal. I’m not sure how either of us comes out of this healthy.

Adam: Are you still having morning sickness?

Sally: No.

Adam: Are you taking the prenatal vitamins? I mean, do we need to go see a doctor?

Sally: No, I’m fine. No, it’s not morning sickness. It’S… it’s just a little nausea. Nothing that chamomile tea can’t fix. Besides, I heard somewhere that indigestion means the baby’s gonna have a full head of hair.

Adam: I have not heard that one.

Sally: Well, look it up. I’m really sorry I worried you.

Adam: It’s unavoidable. I’m the kid’s father and you’re right. That bond is unbreakable.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Jeremy: Phyllis. Are you here? How is it that you’re here right now?

Summer: I need your help.

Chance: All right. What can I do for you?

Summer: You and I are gonna expose my mom’s murderer.
