THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. So it’s the first time you stay over at my place, so I thought I would do something special for you, Eric. Thank you. So sweet. Hmm, . Mm.

You’re welcome. But I do have one very important question for you. First. Yeah. Shoot. Mm. Was last night the best sex of your life?

Oh,

uh oh. Elvis has not left the bedroom. Oh, hilarious. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel like I’ve been punched in their head a hundred times. That good, huh? Mm. Well, I brought you this, Harold whipped it up for you. It’s your mimas special hangover here your, well, once again, I want to apologize for my brother’s behavior.

Oh, I, I agree, Mr. Shin. Totally unacceptable. So, uh hmm. Have you given any more thought as to whether you’re gonna relieve EJ of his duties? Okay. All right. Well, uh, Once you’ve made up your mind to remove him, uh, we let you know. Thanks, . Wow. Wow. You really are an ass.

Leo. Who’s that? It’s me. It’s Andy. Where are you? I’m standing right in front of you. Oh my God, my eyes. I can’t see. I can’t see this. This can’t be happening. This is just an old wife’s tale. Have I actually gone blind from constant? You better not be making yourself go blind in the office. Oh. Oh, thank God.

Thank God. I thought I’d never get to see that wonderful bone structure that chiseled physique ever again. Why are you sleeping in the office? Well, I couldn’t very well sleep in my room. Now, could I? Why not? Hello? I was giving you and Gwenny your privacy. What are you talking?

Oh, stop.

Oh, oh, oh Mercy. How much did we drink last night? Mad. Should I be jealous? How the bloody hell are you doing in my bed? Don’t worry. I’m not offended that you forgot my name happens to the best of us. I’m Alex by the way, but I will be offended if you tell me that you forgot our night and passion. I Nice.

Of what?

Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my son.

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

I think that you were taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously, please, Eric? No, just Shumer me. Okay. Was last night, was it the best of your life? I told you it was great. Remember? But not the best. I don’t kiss and tell. Mm-hmm. . You would if I were the best, which I’m clearly not. Don’t make this a competition.

Okay? Hmm. Just admit that we have an amazing time together. That’s not enough. Hmm. Could you see, as Nicole Gleefully pointed out, Leo said that you’re the best sex of my life. What he didn’t say was that I was the best sex of yours. And for the record, I never said that. Okay. What? He totally made that.

You’re questioning the integrity of Lady Whistleblower. Are you answering my question with the question? No, I’m lightening the mood. Hmm. What was your question again? . Okay. Well, since you’re being so annoyingly evasive in coy mm-hmm. , I demand another shot. Another shot. Hmm. Yeah, that’s right. Because see, no matter how many times it takes, I’m gonna prove Nicole Walker, mom.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Please do.

As you may recall, you’ve made me drink this concoction when I had a hangover not so long ago. Oh, how cruel of me. Oh, come on. Right. It’s tough going, but it. Open up, choo. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Please, please, please. And I’m not hungover. I’m struck by my brother. You know that? No, no. I don’t know that. Not for sure.

I mean, it could have been an accident and maybe you mixed up the cups. I’m positive I switched the cops correctly after Stephan s strike. Martin. He must have, he must have switched them back. Well then if that’s the case, Stephan must know you’re onto him. I have no doubt about that. John Roman gave him a pretty big headss up and Stefan took full advantage of it.

So you’re trying to get my dad fired, right? That that’s your goal. That’s father’s goal. Hmm. What the hell does that mean? You saw for yourself, Johnny, he was a total disaster last night. Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re a two-faced trader. It’s because you drugged him.

Don’t play coy with me, Mr. Stud McMuffin. When I got back to the room last night, the Do Not disturb sign was on the door. So I assume you took my advice, got back together with Gwen. I didn’t wanna interrupt your steamy reunion. There was no reunion, Leo. Gwen and I didn’t get back together, but you’re officially divorced from Sarah.

Now why not make it officially official with Gwen? Cause I’m. I’m still in love with Sarah and can’t fully commit to Gwen. Can I please tell me, you didn’t say that to her? Of course I did. I mean, I have to be honest. No, you don’t. You big dummy. Ah, always. Brains or bra? Never both. What would be the point in life to her?

The point in line would’ve been to protect her feelings. You insensitive jerk. My God. Gwenny must be in agony right now. Her heart’s shattered into a million pieces and I feel terrible that. I care too much about Gwen to lead her on Leo. She deserves better than that. You’re damn right. She does. And now I am going to comfort my friend, let her know that she’s too special and wonderful to waste her time on the likes of you, your big, insensitive shallow meaning.

Wait a minute, if you can. Gwenny Warren, having sexy time last night. Why was the do not disturb sign on the door?

Oh, oh God. Oh, I, I remember. I remember now. I, oh, it’s all coming back to me. Yeah. Apparently I preceded my legend.

We, um, we, what did we, we ran into the, um, we ran into each other at small bar and we got completely bollocked, didn’t we? Because that Oh, bloody oneand. Can’t get over Sarah Horton. And, um, and, um, you, uh, I lost my job. Right. Yeah. Maggie, the tyrant, she stole your job. Hmm. And then we, we came back here and had a nightcap and we had.

Wild. Hot, passionate, no holds barred. Oh, no, no, no, no. Too many adjectives. My head’s pounding sex. We had sex and you know what? I think this was a first for me. Uh, at first, yes. A first with a British woman. Are you a beautiful, sexy, stunning British woman? Yeah. Well then technically I am an American. And what’s with the heart accent?

Uh, well, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter at all. All it matters is that you really, really, I’m really turned me on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s fine. No, this cannot happen again. This has been a terrible, terrible mistake.

Well, why was there a do not disturb sign on the door if there was nothing to disturb? I suppose because Gwen wanted to be left alone. Poor. Thanks. She was probably crying her eyes out all night time to think of it. I did hear mother damn you Zander cook. I was trying to be honest with you. Yeah. So you keep saying what do you think you deserve a medal for being honest.

When the entire time you’ve known Gwen, you’ve treated her like she’s a second fiddle to that skinny snooty Sarah Horton. And now even though skinny snooty woman has given you the Hepo left town to get away from you, you still treat Gwen like she’s a damn afterthought. Like, like she can never measure up to your standards, which is completely absurd given that you are a total swine with the soul the size of a pee.

You know what? I’m not gonna call her. I’m going to go see my bestie in person and stop her from doing something she might regret.

Last a mistake. Now wait a second. When, look, we, we are practically. Aren’t we? And we just knew each other a few hours and we just jumped right into bed with each other. Okay. So you never had a one night stand before? Yeah. Yes. I’ve had my wild days, of course, but God, now I’m in love with another man. Right.

Xander, who is still in love with Sarah Horton. So you used me to get back at him? Oh, I did not.

Yes I did. Hm. I’m sorry. Don’t be. I’m not at all besides, I’m still trying to get over Stephanie Johnson. She’s with Chad, so I have no reason to feel guilty either. Neither do you. We are both single and, oh God. Don’t say ready to mingle. I hate that. I would never say that. What I was gonna say is that we are both consenting adults and what we did is perfectly normal.

Unacceptable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. I don’t, I don’t owe zand or anything. Exactly. So we are free to have all the earth shattering sex we want with no regrets.

Pretty great, wasn’t it? Definitely. In fact, I think it deserves an encore.

Hang on a second. Last night you tipped me off that somebody was drugging me and now you’re accusing me of drugging my brother, which is it, honey, I’m guessing. I’m confused. No, you’re not. Don’t try to manipulate me. I’m a der too. Remember you got me there After I tipped you off last night, you decided you wanted to get back at my dad’s, so you pulled the old switcheroo.

Causing him to ingest the drug that was meant for you. Go ahead. Tell me I’m wrong. Mm. Well that all depends on what, if it was in fact your father who was drugging me. Is that what you’re telling me, John? John? That my own brother’s been plotting against me.

So I not only called shin old, but then I proceeded to talk about how my son was possessed by the devil. Mm-hmm. . And then you topped it off by shoving Stephan. Ah, damnit. It was pretty hard to watch. Yes, I’m sure. And now I have to do major damage control. How are you gonna do that? Well, with way I can just express great contrition and turn on the charm.

It’s Stephen. Stephan is a whole other story.

I, I think there’s only one move to make where Stefan’s concerned, and that is well after Johnny tried to do the right thing, your brother now knows you’re onto him. So all this subterfuge is, is pointless. He. It is time for you to confront Stephan once and for all.

Okay, so I’ve decided not to worry about Nicole or that stupid gossip column anymore, really? Mm. What changed your mind? Well, while we were just enjoying each other just now, I realize it’s incredibly demeaning for me to compete with the Navy. I mean, I know I’m the best sex you’ve ever had. I don’t need to hear it from you.

I admire yourself, confidence, and I admire you for your impressive staying power.

In fact, I think you might have just earned yourself a pass at my retainer fame. All right, Jenn, generous of you. Oh no. But I’m still charging you for your defense Fair. I don’t know why I can’t afford you right now. Hmm. I wouldn’t worry about stacking up too many hours. I, I think this case is gonna be over pretty quickly.

That, that’s great to hear. It makes you so sure. Wow. A bulk of the charges resulted from you pretending to be my paralegal and as the victim, I can just make those charges go away by not cooperating with the da, which then leaves. The kidnapping charge, not a big thing, right? Well actually I think I can cut a deal with traffic.

Really like

speak of the devil. Well, is it about my case? Oh my God, Eric, it’s bad news.

Thank you again taking my case. I know it’s gonna be a lot of extra work for you. No, well it’s probably a good thing. It’s good for me to be busy, right. Sure it is. I know how close you were. Miss Marlena

think I miss her every day. I also think that she would be really upset with the riff you’re having with your brother Eric, right now. What? I just wanna eat breakfast right now, Brittany. I’m just saying you and Sammy, I get that’s, Normal. Are you and Eric? I mean, you’ve, you’ve always got along well, that was before he became a moody jerk.

I think he’s going through a rough patch and what he needs. A little bit like no, what he needs break. Listen, if this is your lame way of, of trying to get me to represent him answering. No, I’m not. I’m not. No, no. He actually already has a lawyer. What? Who? Oh my God. It’s her. That horrible heartless bitch.

Yes. That horrible heartless bitch is Sloan Peterson. That is his lawyer

charging me with attempted murder. I mean, how is this possible? Apparently Stephan’s heart stopped. Has Ralph was zapping him. I wasn’t zapping him. I wasn’t even here for the. It doesn’t matter. I mean, the laundry list goes on. I mean, she’s really piling on the charges. You said this was gonna be easy. I mean, how is this even possible?

Um, well, well maybe it was because something I said,

you are right. It’s time to bring this fight out in the open. I’m just gonna get pretty ugly, especially since both of you live under the same roof. Now, let’s step Dewey’s Worst. I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want you being pulled into this mess depot. Oh, don’t worry about me. I can hold my own . Don’t I know it?

Well, I guess there’s no sense in putting this off any longer. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second, sir. We need to take a shower first. It’ll help you clear your mic. Yeah, that’s a great idea. But you know what’s an even better idea? What’s that? Let you join me, you know, for extra clarity.

Mm,

well, Is my own brother plotting against me thing You think I don’t see right through you. Okay. Quit playing the victim. Here I am the victim. The cup that EJ drank from was meant for me. So you did switch the cups? What the hell was I supposed to do? Johnny? Huh? Let my brother sabotage me in front of way shin.

I was giving him a literal taste of his own medicine. Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you and my dad, but whatever it is, you need to figure it out. Your brothers okay? You shouldn’t be tearing each other apart. You really think you should be lecturing me on Brotherly Love? What’s that supposed to mean?

Didn’t I just read in the gossip section that you almost slept with your twin sister’s girlfriend and that led to the demise of their relationship? All right? It’s a little more complicated than that, and also that’s not what happened. Allie and Chanel didn’t break up because of me. They broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex, Kiki.

Ah, well you still having regrets? Ah, I knew that. We can’t have a go at around three. So ? No. No. I can’t. I can’t. I’m, I have to go to work. Oh, I’m gonna hop on the shower. I’m

fine. Mind if I make a cup of coffee? Yeah. Go for it. There’s a little, uh, coffee maker on that table over there.

Poor Gwenny. She’s probably hiding under the covers. Wallowing in her misery. Oh, Leo is here to save the day. Gwe. I spoke to Xander. The man is a total.

You okay there? Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to catch my breath. What are you doing here anyway? I’m not really sure. It’s my place to wait. I know my wish came true. What are you talking about? Yesterday I was at the park and there it was. A bright and shiny penny on the ground. I had to raise some little brats.

Pick it up. Knocked her out of the way. Here you are. Yeah. I’m sorry. I don’t follow. Hello? Find a penny. Pick it up. Then tonight you get to hold on. What’s, hold on. You’re a little late though. It’s morning. But I won’t hold it against you, Leo. Or will I look how, how stupid am I spending the night at the office when I could have been here with you.

But what are we waiting for? Here I am. There you are. Oh. Time out, ti time. Time out. Who are you gonna put me in a timeout? Daddy. Not your lucky penny. I’m not here because of you. Well, then why are you here parading around? Stark naked patent pending. Leo, who else is staying in this room? Well Gwenny, but she, oh my gwenny.

You know, I just don’t get it. I thought Sloane dumped Eric because she was super pissed at him for getting raw out of jail. Apparently she, for forgive, Ugh. I just thought we were done with this wretched, bottom feeder. You know, I just don’t understand how Eric and her got together in the first place. I mean, what does he seeing her?

What? She’s kind of hot bell, you know? Oh God, dude, you’re such a man. Yeah, I am. I am. I’ve been called worse, by the way. Yeah. Well, can’t actually think that that woman is good for our brother. Actually, I don’t at all, but, but from his point of view, I think maybe she has been there for him when things went south.

Mm-hmm. . And that’s why he is been such a jerk because she’s been there for him. Look, given my history with Kristen Damara, I’m in no position to judge. Oh, please. Anyone with a brain is in a position to judge that Sloan Peterson is a nightmare. I just hope and pray that. At least keeps it professional this time.

I don’t get it. I mean, how could this be your fault? Trash through the book at me. I know, but maybe, maybe because I told her to you. What? Look, it was before I agreed to take the case, I was still angry with you. You know, I kind of, I went off in front of Trask. I mean, God, who knew I had so much influence over that woman.

This is all because that stupid column. No, this is because of your stupid action. Nathan. You talk her out of it. I don’t know, Eric. I mean, she’s already gone to the press with this. Knowing her. She’s not gonna back out, so then I’m screwed.

Not necessarily.

Okay, look. All right. I’ll be the first to admit, my sister and I have definitely had some real knockdown drag outs, but at the end of the. We love each other, and I, I can’t believe that I’m about to say this out loud that I even have to, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Okay, Johnny?

I know you mean well, but this is between me and your father. Except it’s affecting the whole family, you know? Not to mention the company seen the stock lately. It’s in the dump way. Shin’s unhappy. This whole thing’s a mess. I’ll get it under control. Not a fair war with my dad, but why don’t I just go get him right now.

You guys can hash this thing out here. And now.

Hello, Mr. Damira. Hi, this is Sloan Peterson, counsel for Eric Brady. I was hoping you and I could have a little chat.

I’m all done in there if you’d like to hop in. Thank you. And there is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Did the two of you. My girl get it. Also, I had been worried sick about you. Why? I ran into Xander at the office where I slept last night. Thank you very much. He told me what happened between you two. So I raced over. I thought you’d be hole up in here crying your wi eyes out, licking your wounds. Turns out you’re licking something else entirely.

Filthy. Ah, I’m filthy. I’m filthy. Okay. I’m filthy, but so are you Gwendolyn bagging two of the hottest guys in Salem first Ander. Now Alex, you are a queen. I both hate and respect you at the same time. Huh? You have a But that’s out of the way. I did get a sneak peek at the main attraction, and I have one word.

Epic indeed. Girl. Give me all the deeds and I mean everything.

So, uh, I was thinking maybe I should go with you when you confront Stephan. He’s less likely to kill you with me there, Nicole. This is not your fight. No, it kind of is since not only I was Stephan’s unintended victim, you and I are seeing each other again, which makes us a team. Right? I suppose it does.

Mm-hmm. I know it says. Now let’s go kick your brother’s ass.

You know what better safe than sorry, God, this family. Good morning, son. Good morning. Uh, good morning Nicole. Morning. How you feeling, dad? Better. Thank you. Um, thank you for helping me out last night for getting me outta here before I can make an even bigger fool of myself in front of shin. Yeah, well it’s uh, probably no surprise to you that Uncle Stefan is pushing for him to fire you.

No, it’s not. So where is my backs stabbing brother, you just missed. Oh, well, look, dad, I hope you’re not mad about the warning I gave him. I, but you know, I, I, I know it backfired on you, but like he said, he. Just give your taste of your own medicine. John Roman, you don’t understand this whole drugging business.

I wasn’t the one who started it. It was your Uncle Stephan

attempted. Attempted murder. That’s insane. Well, I think Trask was playing hardball. I wasn’t trying to murder him Bell. I was just trying to help him. For God’s sake, I take it. You got the message from Trask. Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yeah. You missed a button there, counselor. So much for keeping it professional.

I assume Brady mentioned that I hired Sloan. Yeah. One bad decision after another. Sloane’s an excellent attorney and you gave me no other choices. Okay, listen, I don’t wanna fight and I actually do think it would be better for all of us to work together on this. I know you and I don’t really get along, but I think we have a common goal in keeping these two idiots out of prison.

So I think we should do an end run around trash and call Stephan Dira. Gee, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait, I. Oh, and here he is now.

Okay, well we were there and then we ordered another round and another round, and then we, um, started talking about his work situation. Honey, how is any of this relevant to what I want to hear? I said everything. But what it meant was everything. Like everything. What don’t you wanna know about how we got into bed, honey?

No. No. Boring. Boring. Listen to me carefully. Nobody cares about the setup. Press fast forward. Choose your words wisely and paint me a vivid picture of that God among men and men. Okay, go.

Okay. Um, me see, uh, Well first he uhhuh, . He did this. Oh, I have to get that. Sorry. Hang on. Oh damn. Musts be an emergency with the advertiser. I, I have to go to work. Sorry. I am gonna throttle you. Uh, can you maybe just tell Alex I to run? You better. Give me all the details later. Missy, this is gonna be great for stuff at lady whistleblower column.

Don’t you dare. Or I will make it so that lady is not just a nom.

So, wait, let me get this straight. Stephan spiked your drink and then you switched it with his, and then he switched it back. Oh. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a while. Technically, I never actually drugged Stephan. He drugged himself. He just didn’t know about it. So why? Why is he doing all this in the first place?

I suspect he secretly holds a grudge against me for not telling him about the brain. . Well, that’s great. Now you guys can just be done with it. Call it even. I was planning on confronting him, but I guess I’ve missed my chance. Yeah, well, in that case I should probably get going to work. Oh, I was, uh, I was headed out too.

You need to lift? Yeah, that’d be great. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well, if it isn’t the brother’s grim, please uh, have a seat.

I didn’t realize the whole gang was gonna be here. Mr. D. Thank you so much for meeting us. Yes. As I was just telling Ms. Peterson, we have a common goal to get your brothers off the hook for what they did to me. I realized that, um, their methods were reckless. You think they kidnapped me, knocked me out, tied me to a bed so a mad man could experiment on me.

Yes. But in the end, the experiment was a success and you’re back to the man you once were because I was. That was a hell of a risk one that they took without my consent. You wanted to talk about consent? Excuse me, pal. Listen, Brady, let us handle this. Mr. Damara. I admit that our clients were extreme, but everything worked out for the best.

And since the DA doesn’t have a case without your cooperation, we’re asking you if you could please not press charges.

What they did was unconscionable, but as much as I hate to admit it, in the end, they did me a favor. So you’ll talk aask. Consider the charges dropped.

Uh,

Stephan, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, no, I still can’t stand her. Oh.

Oh, I didn’t think you were coming in today. Um, yes. Well, I heard that there was a problem with one of the advertisers. Oh, I was just like to take care of that actually. Yeah. Well, I’m here now so I can take care of it. No, I’m happy to cover it if you wanna take the day off. Why about to do that going? You, you don’t have to put on a front with.

Was just here. I feel terrible that you spent the night in your room all alone. Crying. Crying.

Actually, I wasn’t alone. I was busy hitting the sheets with your cousin, Alex.

Where’s Gwen? You should do go to work. Looks like it’s just you and me. Handsome. Good One of the moment alone with you. Me too. I have a bone to pick with the guy who ruined my career

on. Put that away. Considering you’ve saved my life, sis, practice is on me. Well, thankfully Stephan was willing to listen to the reason Dave and Sloan, you make a pretty good team. Maybe you should, uh, you know, get firm together or something. Then who would represent me when I throw her out the window?

thought about that. No, there will be no teaming up between me and that awful woman whom I still loa with every fiber of my being. Just wish the hell Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny, I’m really sorry about lying to you and Wendy about what was going on. Hey, you’re not the first person who’s ever kept a secret from my dad.

So you and he are, uh, getting pretty close, huh? Ah, yeah, I guess we are. Does that mean you’re over my uncle?

I’m getting there.

I’m certain you don’t approve of all this end fighting father, so whether you like it or not, there is going to be a reckoning between my brother and me.

Oh, soit is so brave that you came over for dinner.

I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah, and I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope I see your liking. Oh, it sounds wonderful. This feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Couldn’t have said it better myself, brother.

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

Well, I hope you don’t hold it against me, that Zander and I are related, even though blood is just about the only bond we have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. I do not wanna talk about that. Fair enough. Besides Zander’s, actual crimes are really the least of my issues with him. Oh yeah. You know, he tried to be good in his own way.

How about you? Did you try to be good? Mostly? How’s that working out for you?

What do you think? Right. So it seems to me that in a weird way, you and Zander are a pretty damn good match, except it’s not the match that he wants, despite the fact that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Zander will never stop loving Sarah Horton,

you know? Realized I was doing the very thing that I told you I didn’t want to do. Leading G went on. Mm-hmm. So you made her think you were gonna be a couple again? Only cuz I believed it. I mean, I really did think that, you know, once I saw the final divorce decree in my hands, I would finally accept that Sarah and I are over for good.

I don’t think it works that way. No. The feelings didn’t miraculously disappear. I can’t lie to going about that. Even if Sarah hates me, she doesn’t hate you. She’s just done with you. Now you’ve got to get over her. Are you gonna end up alone?

You know, you really need to work on listening when people. Like, like I am not in love with you. Or six months or six years he and I are not happening. Hmm. I heard you say those things and yet they’re not sinking in because you keep talking about winning me back and you’re starting to sound delusional.

I like to call it hopeful. Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you’d like. It’s still a pine tree only because you’re treating it like it’s some kind of chore because it is. It doesn’t have to be Daddy. This quality time we’re spending. Look at it like I’m doing you a favor. A favor. Yeah. Yeah. The more time you spend with me, the less time you spend fighting your temptation to be with Stephan.

Or even worse, giving in. So you’re helping me out. If you cave, you force me to invoke. Cause 2.6 of our deal and you lose out all my damer shares is one night of nostalgia. Was Stephan really worth that?

So I found this startup in South Africa. They’re making incredible breakthroughs on clean energy. They are hungry for investors. I’m intrigued. I must have missed a memo on this one. Oh, I was gonna brief you in the morning, get your sign off. You know, I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I, I’m sure you were caught off guard just as I was caught off guard when you told me that Mr. Shin was joining us for dinner tonight. So guess we’re even, I’m going to check in on how, see how those appetizers are coming. Nicole, would you like to join me? I know you had a request for the chef. Oh, yes.

Right. Thank you for reminding me. Of course.

Did you hear Stephan back there? Obviously he’s trying to win shin’s favor. He called us Eva. Something tells me you don’t see it the same way. Mm. He will be after the drugs kick in and he makes a fool of him. Which might be any minute now

finding the deal in South Africa will be a big win for Jamira. You, Cindy, on top of things, you sound surprised. Well, to be honest, I had a conversation earlier with your brother. Hmm. About, uh, he worries that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put you through. Hmm.

I appreciate my brother’s concern for my wellbeing, but I can assure you I’m perfectly fine. Hmm.

Ah geez.

Maybe Xander will come around. Hm. My God. Do you know how many times I’ve told myself that? Never know. Feelings are weird. Feelings are weird. Wow. That should be on a refrigerator magnet. Dude. easy. I just mean, you know, sometimes they can take a little while to sort him out. Do you know what he said to me?

He said that once he sees the divorce decree, reality will set in. And I’m guessing that’s not what happened. No. Reality did set in, it just settled in for me, not him. And he told you what? That he didn’t want to be with you? He said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if you’ll ever her get over her

when? I’m sorry that he hurt you. I, I don’t even, geez, do you know what the worst part is though? Was he was trying not to hurt me. He.

He said it’s not fair to lead me on when he knows that he’s still got feelings for so often. Alright, well I think that’s honorable. I guess. God’s honorable. Come on, honorable my ass. I am the best thing that has ever happened to that man and he will never know God. Who do you have to shout to get another refill around here?

Hello? Oh, hey, hey, hey. X round’s on me. I got it. Thanks. God’s sake. Listen to me. I’m just going on and on and on about myself. I haven’t even asked you why you are here, why you are so miserable as go on. Then what’s her name? . Good guess. And yes, I did ruin things with the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, but that’s not the reason why I’m here tonight.

Mm-hmm. and Royal, you. I am here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Mm-hmm. . Why am I telling Sarah’s mother all ? Maybe because you expect me to get in touch with her and let her know that you still love her. No, I mean, unless you want to. I told you before, I wish the two of you had worked this out, but I’ve learned my. I mean, I, I made my feelings clear to Sarah and, and I told her that this time I’m gonna stay out of it.

I understand that I’ve lost Sarah and now I’ve driven Gwen away too. Seems I can’t help but hurt the women in my life. Mm. Well it seems to be a lot of that going around.

Okay. Someone tell me what this is about. I’m sure it’s nothing. Yeah, of course. Well, it says Johnny won’t tell you. I will. You see, he came asking for my help for some lab results for his father. I told him there’s nothing I could do, so he stole my id, impersonated me and stole those results from the lab.

That’s how you got those results? Yeah. He put my good name and reputation at risk all because he and his family always think they’re above the.

I know how much he admired my father. He was a flawed and complicated man, but his drive and determination was unmatched , and he never ever let someone get the better of him, which is why I’m trying to follow in his footsteps.

Look at him over there, droning on trying to impression. Doesn’t he know droning is your specialty? . Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon enough. I love a good tour wreck dinner party. Mm-hmm. . Let’s join them. See how things are progressing. Whoa, whoa. You okay? All good.

Good job buddy. I seven believe that you’re drunk, but maybe tone it down Well, shin’s looking okay. Is it a little warm in here? I just me,

I’m glad you were raised his dinner party, ej. It’s given me a chance to, uh, stress the importance of rising up our stock price. Of course, it’s all he’s thinking about. I can vouch for that. Okay. EJ is the first to admit that this stock slide was due to an unfortunate mistake. But believe me when I say that, he’s doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens again.

Isn’t that right? Ej? Uh, of course. And he’s using this opportunity to make changes within the company. That’s why I’ve developed a new program to teach all DER employees media strategies as we navigate this new environment. And I know EJ is fully on board. See, when I, I’m sorry I’m not finished. When one employee is able to cause this big a crisis by opening his mouth, that tells me that the culture needs to be changed.

And I can assure you that we are going to change that culture. Stop talking.

Mr. Shim heard you the first time. For God’s sake, the man is old, not deaf.

So, uh, if you’re distancing yourself from Gwen, does that mean you’re quitting the spectator? No, Gwen certainly doesn’t want me there, but you own half of. Yeah, but it’s, it’s Gwen’s legacy, not mine. So you’re unemployed again. We’ll see. Don’t worry. I’ll find some non-legal way to fill my own. Well, then maybe you could fill in Harry Titan.

Right. Yeah. Doing what? Taking off for Alex. I wouldn’t complain.

So Maggie got the job that you were expecting at Titan? I would say deserving, but yes, ooi. Do you have a problem answering to strong women? I love strong women. Gender is not the problem here. Gwenny. That job should be mine. I should be the one on the front page of the Spectator with my plans of laying out the future of this company.

So why isn’t it you?

Because my Uncle Vic, not a near full of some gossip about my extracurricular activities. Hmm.

Wow. Oh dear. That’s funny, huh? Yeah, it’s um, lady Whistleblower. Oh, lady Whistleblower. You know all about that, huh?

Yeah. I’m really sorry to tell you that I am the new editor at The Spectator, and Leo is my gossip column expert. Oh. Great. Come on. I mean, what’s the big deal? Anyway, you are

handsome and you are quite charming and you are rich. I mean, why shouldn’t you have a wrong with two beautiful, young, willing women? Yeah, I do like the way you think, but my Uncle Vic, he’s. It was little old school.

Yeah. Is Maggie really the like the best for the job there? I mean, she’s nice enough, but does Victor think that she’s CEO O material finally. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many times I tried sounding the alarm about this in an ad? Just gets shut down with this extreme prejudice. And now honestly Gwen, I’m just trying not to blow my inheritance.

Well, if you want that pot at the end of the rainbow, I think you’re gonna have to be a good little soldier. And you’re gonna have to follow Auntie Maggie’s orders, aren’t you? Mm. That’s the deal. Well, I think it sounds good. Just don’t cause trouble. You get to live a fabulous life and he had to sha whomever you like.

So kind of wish you told me that. Y.

When I asked you how you got those lab results, you said you have your ways, well, I guess his ways are identity theft. Johnny, you don’t have to believe me now. You can just talk to the lab director who called me while I was at the nurses station looking for my lost badge. What exactly did he say? Oh, he figured out that someone unauthorized used to get those reports.

Were he gonna say something, John? What? What can I say? Yes, yes. I use Trips Badge to get those results. Yes. Wow. You know, that’s illegal, right? I needed answers. Wendy and I are trying to help someone, Wendy and I, are you actually throwing her under the bus? That’s not what I was doing. Then why did you lie to me about how you got those results?

Because he knew how you would react, and he’s too much of a coward, to be honest.

What, what? I admit they make good steak here. What do you, what do you want from them? I was just remembering the last meal we shared here. What about it? You got a little carried away, ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, and then when we were. We heard another. Hmm. And then later when we went home, stop.

Stop, stop. What? That wasn’t a good night because I seem to remember it being one of the best nights of my life. I mean, a night that lasted all the way through till morning. By the way, I never felt closer to you. To anyone can tell by the way your cheeks are flush. You remember? I know what you’re doing.

Well, is it working

Mr. Shin? I, I am so sorry for that outburst. I blame myself for what happened with the stock, obviously, and it’s frustrating. Understandable. And, and once he gets the prices up, the frustration will be gone. Ah, as will I. Yes. Well,

Uh, uh, dinner should be ready. Uh, let’s eat, shall we? Yes.

I know you’re supposed to act impaired, but, you know, uh, maybe not. Try not to insult shin. I, I didn’t mean to say that. I, I don’t know what’s happening. Stefan was getting under my skin and just slipped out. Oh, you look sweaty. I’m tall here. No, it’s not. Are you sure that you swed the correct drinks with s Stephan?

Of course. Oh, because Stephan’s the someone who’s acting fine and you’re acting off, I’m fine. The drug shall kick in for Stephan any minute. We will go and sit down and have dinner with Mr. Shin and Stephan will prove that he is unfit by going face first into his bowl of soup.

So Alex totally undercut your authority and he still has a job. I let him off with a warning. Let me, he was, he was only being passionate about something that he believes in. Still almighty, you can’t have insubordination in your ranks. The truth is that I didn’t wanna become c e O and fire the only other kek in the company on my first day.

That would’ve be a bad look. Ugh. I wish I had the KIS I could count on.

I wasn’t just gonna. Auntie Mag, shut the door on Bella. So I back channelled my concerns to my uncle. All right, . So, um, let me get this straight. You. The, um, you said the boss, your, your boss, the big boss, made a decision. A bad one, . And you went, you went behind her back to her husband . Wow. I mean, when you put it like that, uh, I guess I’m not a.

Team player. Name one person in your family who is, what you thinking of? One in particular. You are like that. You more just go after what you want. Consequences be damned. Oh, huh. What about you? How are you raised?

Mostly I raised myself.

By the way, it doesn’t seem like either of us have gotten what we want.

It’s misery.

Where is mine

to misery?

So you wanna get outta here?

Look. I’m sorry. Okay. That I got trip in trouble, but he gave me no choice. Okay. How do you figure, I asked you for your help. He didn’t wanna give it to me, so I borrowed your badge for like 10 minutes. Okay. No, you didn’t borrow trip’s. Badge, you stole it. So what you, you, you think that what my dad is doing to s Stephan is okay, but both things are bad.

Yeah. One’s a hell of a lot worse. You knew this was wrong or you wouldn’t have kept it from me.

You should go, Wendy. No, I’m serious. Johnny, what do we have? If I can’t trust you, I’ll text you tomorrow. Once you’ve had time to think about this, you’ll understand.

Look, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Ali warned me about how impulsive and selfish shawny can be.

I guess I’m still trying to learn what that means.

It’s a great idea to have Harold set us up in here with coffee and desserts. Mr. Shin. Nicole, can I get you coffee? No, thank you. Ah, I’ll pass. Aj, you’re not gonna say no. Only if you join me.

This is one of my favorites. See why it’s one of the only abstracts we own.

And father acquired this squad in Tuscan. I agree. F l had Yes indeed.

Why don’t you show Mr. Shin that incredible sculpture you purchased at the auction? Oh, I would love to. It is so special. Believe it or not, our father actually owned it in the sixties.

You tracked him again and maybe he didn’t get enough in the first trick, but this time, this time, He’s going down.

So you wanna know if your shameless flirting is working. What’s so shameless about it? I was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with you that night and hoping that by the time September rolls around and we’ve made new memories, you’ll be. Stephan, who

I admire your persistence.

What else do you admire about me? Uh, check. Please check. Oh, we can’t leave yet. Why not? I pre-ordered the souffle for dessert. We can get it to go. You want to go back home just like last time?

I am sorry. I know I was hard on Johnny there. No, you had it coming to him. You have every right to be pissed. It was my first day back at the hospital, you know, and I wanted everything to be perfect and just, I dunno. I feel like such a responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory and I’m sure she’d be proud.

I know I’ll never. Go the doctor she was. But that’s important to me that I don’t do anything that’ll stain her reputation or even this point, my dad, while still breathing. Hey you, nothing wrong today.

Thanks. Okay. I’m really sorry Joani put you in this position.

If I known what he was gonna do, I would’ve.

Oh, Stephan, why don’t you share some of the numbers with Mr. Shin for the South Africa project? You sure you want me to do that now? Why not? Oh, Johnny. Hello Uncle Stephan. My son. What a grand addition to the group. I Hey dad, . Oh, have you? Have you two met? You’ve got to meet my boy. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

In a minute. In a minute. I’m sure you know all about this young man. Way after all. He could be the air to the Damira throne. Well, I am will aware. Hello Johnny. Mr. Shin. Hello. Come on. You can do better than that. Johnny Tuck. Oh, oh, oh. Of course, Mr. Shim is a legendary judge of character and talent, so I’m sure he’ll find Johnny completely amazing when he finally gets his chance.

Huh? Hey, right, and let’s not hold against him. That whole new devil possession thing, wife, you need to go. Now. Why? Because there’s been a mistake. The only mistake I see is two CEOs, okay? That, are you all right? I got this. Ej. Hey, I don’t know what is going on with you, but you need to make an excuse. Go upstairs and lie down cause I’m not tired.

You need to lie down. Before you embarrass yourself any further, embarrass myself. Who the hell do you think you are? Ej, clearly you are messed up. I am not messed up. You are three.

Oh, okay. That was clearly not supposed to happen. Okay. You know what? Ha didn’t sleep much. He was up all night. But I switched it. I, I, I, I know I switched it. Just come with me. Uh, excuse us. CJ just needs to, to freshen up. Johnny. Yeah.

Mr. Shit. I apologize for my brother’s behavior. Honestly, I. No idea what’s going on.

Hi guys. Lee Ding. When trip we interrupting something? Nope. No, we were just uh, talking. Where were you? Two Dinner at the bistro. We brought you some delicious. So, . I drove nice and slow so it wouldn’t collapse. You guys want some? Yeah, that sounds great. I’ll go put it on the plate. Okay. I’m gonna go change.

Oh, tired. Long. Good. Uh, um. Oh, and here we are sitting on your bed. Uh, don’t worry, I’m gonna head to sleep soon. Have a long day too. You know, it, uh, it isn’t that bad for sleeping. It’s that sexually. Pretty comfortable couch. Ah, well, glad you don’t mind. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Um, what I meant was, is, um, you wouldn’t mind me.

Yeah. I was thinking, uh, you know, I’m sure it’s very expensive for you to move back here and quit your job out west, so maybe I can help with that. Oh, pow out. You can save a little money. Crash out here on the couch. Let me have your room. Yeah. The answer is no, Lee. He’s not in. Let him answer. Uh, look, if this living situation’s a little too cozy for you all, uh, I can always go back to my dad’s.

Oh, I love having you here. My brother’s just gonna have to get used to the couch. He made it. Now he gets to lie in it.

Well, it seems you are wrestling with an impossible. And which question is that? Well, on one hand, you could rely on the Keri Aus that went crying to your husband when he didn’t get his way. Any other on the other, you could rely on the Keri Aus that lied to your daughter after he perpetrated an ill-fated kidnapping scheme.

Well, that’s why I’m the c e I get paid to make those tough calls. I suppose that’s true. Mm-hmm. . Well, most people would think it’s an easy call and Alex. May not be a loyal employee, but he’s not a felon. But you are not most people are you Maggie? No, I’m not. I actually think you did a pretty good job when you were in charge, uh, a few years back.

You might be the only one, maybe. So still is fun to imagine. Oh, you and the two of us taking on the corporate world, defying expectations both. No. Victor would never sign off on it. So I’m ceo. Victor doesn’t get a say. Not about Alex. And not about you.

Maddie, are you home? But who’s Maddie? Leo. Where you, what? You live here with Leo Stark. I. The little twrp cost me my spot at running tight. Whoa. And it’s a good thing that that little twerp isn’t here, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a good thing. . Right now I believe we were in search of a nightcap. That’s what we came here for.

Now, is that the only thing you came here for?

This isn’t making sense what is happening to me. Oh, I don’t, oh gosh. I, I don’t know how he managed it, but Steph had must have switched the drinks. How? Why? I don’t know.

This is probably his plan all along. But how did he figure it out? Ah, this might be my fault. What you guys said that Stefan was on drugs and something about that didn’t really sit right. So I got my hands on a copy of the lab reports you had ordered. I found out what was in the vi. I thought you guys were trugging it.

My God. You told him. I know. I didn’t say it was you. Oh God. I.

You know, your brother warned me that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf had put you through, but clearly he’s the one we should be worried about. Well, I appreciate your concern for my brother’s wellbeing, but he’s resilient now. You don’t have to defend on family obligation. Our obligation is to the shareholders.

You’re right. Sometimes I’m too loyal for my own good. Uh, may I speak freely? Of course, yes. I have been worried about my brother ever since the death of his mother and something like that. It leaves a mark. Oh, clearly your worries are justified. What can we do about it? He and I are equal. Perhaps not for long.

Where did Trip and Wendy go? They went outside to get some air. Hmm. So they didn’t want tole

a. A. Apparently not. Gabby. That outfit is incredible. Mm. Well it’s not for you. It’s for when my six months of hell are up and I can finally sleep with the man that I love. I see. So this is you torturing me. Yeah. For you torturing me. Mm. Yeah. Museum. Incredible meal. How can you stand it? I can, so I guess all there’s left for me to do is to go back to that big, cozy bed all by myself.

You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you that contract that I signed, I know that I can’t be with Stephan, but, and there’s nothing in there that says I can’t dream about him. Right. Imagining him in that bed with me. Ripping off this outfit, taking me into his arms, making love to me all night long. Okay, well have a good night on the.

Victor can’t stop you from bringing me in to replace Alex. Hmm. Now you just need a good answer for the other 10,473 reasons why it’d be a terrible idea for you to do that. Well, I’ll get to work on that right away. In the meantime, I need to go home. Um, you wanna share an elevator? Absolutely. I just need to do a quick text.

Can you gimme a second? I’ll meet you in the hallway. Hey. Hmm. Thank you for listening to all my stupid Mistakes and standing by me anyway. You are, you’re a very loyal person. Who knows? I may be asking for that loyalty in return. Pretty soon.

Maybe we should just enjoy that drink. Okay. Can’t blame the guy for trying Right.

You, um, can’t blame for trying not one. You okay?

Okay.

No. No, not. Okay.

Let’s change that up, shall we?

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Eric brings Sloan breakfast in bed and says it was her first time staying at his place, so he wanted to do something special for her. Sloan calls that sweet and kisses him. Sloan says she does have one important question and asks if last night was the best sex of his life.

EJ wakes up in bed with a headache. Nicole brings him a glass of his mom’s special hangover cure.

Stefan is on the phone with Wei in the living room, apologizing for EJ’s behavior and agreeing that it’s totally unacceptable. Stefan asks if he’s given any more thought to relieving EJ of his duties. Stefan says to let him know once he’s made up his mind and hangs up. Johnny then walks in to the room.

Xander goes to the Spectator office where he finds Leo asleep at his desk. Xander questions why he’s sleeping in the office. Leo responds that he couldn’t sleep in his room because he was giving Xander and Gwen their privacy. Xander questions what he’s talking about.

Gwen wakes up in bed complaining of how much they drank last night. Gwen is then shocked to see Alex in bed next to her and questions what he’s doing in her bed. Alex responds that he won’t be offended that she forgot his name but he will be if she forgot their night of passion which Gwen questions and can’t believe it.

Eric thinks Sloan is taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously. Sloan tells him to just humor her and asks if last night was the best of his life. Eric calls it great so Sloan takes that as not the best. Eric says he doesn’t kiss and tell. Sloan remarks that he would if she was the best, so clearly she’s not. Eric tells her not to make this a competition and to admit they have an amazing time together. Sloan feels that not’s enough since Nicole pointed out that Leo wrote that Eric was the best sex of Sloan’s life while he never said that she was the best sex of Eric’s life. Sloan then claims that she never said that and that Leo made it up. Eric asks if she’s questioning the integrity of Leo’s “Lady Whistleblower” column. Sloan says since Eric is being evasive and coy, she demands another shot. Sloan declares that no matter how many times it takes, she’s going to prove Nicole wrong as they kiss and move on to the bed.

Nicole reminds EJ of how he made her drink this when she had a hangover and points out that it does work. EJ stops her and argues that he wasn’t hungover, he was drugged by his brother. Nicole points out that they don’t know that for sure and it could’ve been an accident. EJ assures that he switched the cups correctly, so Stefan must have switched them back. Nicole guesses Stefan knows he’s on to him then. EJ has no doubt since Johnny gave him the heads up and Stefan took full advantage.

Johnny questions Stefan trying to get EJ fired and if that’s his goal. Stefan argues that is EJ’s goal since he was a total disaster last night. Johnny calls Stefan a two face traitor and declares that it’s because he was drugging him.

Leo tells Xander not to be coy with him since when he got back to the room last night, he saw the “do not disturb” sign on the door, so he assumed that Xander took his advice and got back with Gwen so he didn’t want to interrupt their steamy reunion. Xander informs Leo that there was no reunion as they didn’t get back together. Leo notes that Xander is officially divorced from Sarah now so he questions why not make it officially official with Gwen. Xander admits he’s still in love with Sarah, so he can’t fully commit to Gwen. Leo hopes he didn’t say that to Gwen. Xander says he did because he had to be honest which Leo disagrees with. Xander questions the point of lying to her. Leo argues that it would’ve been to protect Gwen’s feelings and calls him an insensitive jerk. Leo worries that Gwen must be in agony now with her heart shattered. Xander says he feels terrible but he cares too much about Gwen to lead her on when she deserves better than that. Leo agrees and declares that he’s going to comfort Gwen and let her know that she’s too special to waste her time on Xander. Leo then stops and questions why the do not disturb sign was on the door if they weren’t having sexy time last night.

Gwen says she remembers now and it’s all coming back to her. Gwen recalls she and Alex running in to each other at the small bar and getting drunk because Xander couldn’t get over Sarah. Alex adds that he lost his job. Gwen remembers that Maggie stole his job and then they came here for a night cap. Alex adds that they had wild, hot, passionate, no holds barred sex. Gwen complains that her head is pounding. Alex thinks this was a first for him to be with a British woman. Gwen says she’s American so Alex questions her accent. Alex decides it doesn’t matter and all that matters is that she really turns him on. Alex starts kissing Gwen but she says this can’t happen again and calls it a terrible mistake.

Leo asks Xander again why the do not disturb sign was on the door. Xander supposes Gwen wanted to be left alone. Leo worries that Gwen was crying her eyes out all night long. Leo blames Xander for being honest and treating her like second fiddle to Sarah. Leo adds that now that even though Sarah left town to get away from him, he still treats Gwen like an afterthought as if she doesn’t live up to his standards which he calls completely absurd. Leo decides he’s going to see Gwen in person to stop her from doing something she might regret. Leo then storms out of the office.

Alex questions Gwen calling last night a mistake. Gwen points out that they are practically strangers and only knew each other for a few hours but just jumped right in to bed with each other. Alex blows it off as a one night stand. Gwen reminds him that she’s in love with another man. Alex states that Xander is still in love with Sarah, so Gwen used him to get back at Xander. Gwen admits she did and apologizes. Alex tells her not to be sorry and says he’s not, noting that he’s still trying to get over Stephanie and she’s with Chad, so he has no reason to feel guilty either. Alex tells Gwen that they are both single, consenting adults so what they did is perfectly normal and acceptable. Gwen agrees and says she doesn’t owe Xander anything. Alex tells her that they are free to have all the earth shattering sex they want with no regrets. Gwen agrees that it was pretty great. Alex thinks it deserves an encore as he kisses Gwen.

Stefan reminds Johnny that he tipped him off that someone was drugging him and now he’s accusing him of drugging EJ, so he questions which one it is. Johnny suggests maybe both. Stefan claims to be confused but Johnny says he’s not. Johnny tells Stefan not to try to manipulate him, reminding him that he’s a DiMera too. Johnny says after he tipped him off, he decided to get back at EJ and switch the cups on him, causing EJ to get drugged. Stefan responds that it all depends on if EJ was drugging him and asks if he’s telling him that his own brother has been plotting against him.

Nicole fills EJ in on how he called Wei old, talked about Johnny being possessed by the Devil, and then shoved Stefan. Nicole calls it hard to watch. EJ feels he will have to do major damage control now. EJ says with Wei, he’ll just express great attrition but Stefan is a whole other story. Nicole thinks there’s only one move to make with Stefan since he now knows EJ is on to him, so this is all pointless. Nicole tells EJ that it’s time for him to confront Stefan once and for all.

Sloan and Eric lay in bed together. Sloan decides she’s not going to care about Nicole or the gossip column anymore because she realizes it’s incredibly demeaning to compare with his exes when she knows she’s the best sex he’s ever had. Eric admires her self confidence while Sloan admires his impressive staying power. Sloan adds that he might have earned a pass on her retainer fee but says she’ll still charge his defense. Sloan mentions that she thinks the case will be over pretty quickly since both charges resulted from Eric pretending to be her paralegal, so she can just make those charges go away by not cooperating. Eric brings up the kidnapping charge being left. Sloan thinks she can cut a deal with Melinda Trask. Sloan then gets a text from Melinda and tells Eric that it’s bad news.

Brady and Belle eat together at the Brady Pub. Brady thanks her again for taking his case as he knows it’s going to be a lot of extra work for her. Belle thinks it’s best for her to be busy right now. Brady knows how close Belle was with Marlena and says he misses her every day. Brady adds that he thinks Marlena would be upset with the rift Belle is having with Eric right now. Belle says she just wants to eat breakfast right now. Brady says he gets her and Sami as that’s almost normal, but she and Eric have always gotten along. Belle says that was before Eric became a moody jerk. Brady thinks he’s just going through a tough time. Belle insists on not representing Eric. Brady then reveals that Eric already has a lawyer. Belle can’t believe it’s Sloan, who she calls a horrible, heartless bitch.

Sloan reveals that Eric is being charged with attempted murder since apparently that Stefan’s heart stopped while Dr. Rolf was zapping him. Eric argues that he wasn’t even there during that. Sloan says the list goes on with charges. Eric thought she said this would be easy and questions how this is even possible. Sloan reveals that it may be because of something she said.

EJ agrees with Nicole that it’s time to bring this fight out in the open. Nicole knows it’s going to get ugly because they live under the same roof. EJ says Stefan can do his worst as he’s not afraid of him but he just doesn’t want Nicole being pulled in to it. Nicole tells him not to worry about her as she can hold her own. EJ guesses there is no sense in putting this off any longer so he’ll let her know how it goes. Nicole stops him and says he needs to take a shower first to clear his mind. EJ agrees and invites her to join him as they kiss.

Stefan asks Johnny if his own brother is plotting against him. Johnny tells Stefan that he sees through him and that he’s just playing the victim. Stefan argues that he is the victim since the cup that EJ drugged was meant for him. Johnny questions him admitting to switching the cups. Stefan asks what he was supposed to do and says he was giving EJ a taste of his own medicine. Johnny doesn’t know what’s going on but says they need to figure it out since they are brothers and shouldn’t be trying to tear each other apart. Stefan questions if Johnny really thinks he should be lecturing him on brotherly love. Johnny asks what that is supposed to mean. Stefan brings up reading in the gossip column that Johnny almost slept with his twin sister’s girlfriend which led to the demise of their relationship. Johnny calls that different and argues that it’s not what happened as he declares that Allie and Chanel broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex Kiriakis.

Alex and Gwen have another round of sex. Alex asks if she’s still having regrets. Alex suggests a round three and kisses her but Gwen says she can’t as she has to get to work. Gwen decides she will take a shower. Alex wants to get in with her but Gwen says no as she’s in a hurry. Alex decides he will make a cup of coffee then as Gwen heads to the shower. Leo then comes home, worrying about Gwen but walks in to find Alex naked and making coffee. Alex puts his underwear on and asks if Leo is okay. Leo says he just needs to catch his breath and asks what Alex is doing here. Alex says it’s not his place. Leo starts saying that his wish must have come true and starts flirting with him but Alex stops him and says that he’s not here because of him. Leo asks why he’s here naked then. Alex reminds him of who else is staying in this room. Gwen then comes out of the shower and Leo is shocked.

Belle doesn’t get it as she thought Sloan dumped Eric because she was pissed at him for getting Dr. Rolf out of jail. Brady says apparently she forgave him. Belle thought they were done with Sloan and doesn’t understand how she and Eric got together in the first place, questioning what Eric sees in her. Brady admits that she’s kind of hot. Belle complains that he’s such a man. Brady jokes that he’s been called worse. Belle argues that he can’t actually think Sloan is good for Eric. Brady assures that he doesn’t at all, but acknowledges that Sloan has been there for him when things went south. Brady adds that with his history with Kristen, he’s in no position to judge. Belle calls Sloan a nightmare and hopes that Eric at least keeps it professional this time.

Eric doesn’t get how this could be Sloan’s fault when Melinda threw the book at him. Sloan reveals that it may be because she told her to which Eric questions. Sloan explains that it was before she agreed to take his case and she was still angry with him, but she didn’t know she had such influence over Melinda. Eric blames the stupid gossip column while Sloan blames Eric’s stupid actions. Eric tells Sloan to talk Melinda out of it then. Sloan points out that Melinda has already gone to the press with it so she’s not going to back out. Eric guesses he’s screwed then but Sloan says not necessarily.

Johnny admits to Stefan that he and Allie had some real knockdown drag outs but at the end of the day, they love each other. Johnny can’t believe he has to say this, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Stefan knows he means well but says it’s between he and EJ. Johnny argues that it’s affecting the whole family and the company, pointing out that the stocks are down and Wei Shin is unhappy so the whole thing is a mess. Stefan says he will get it under control. Johnny says not while at war with EJ. Johnny suggests going to get EJ right now so they can hash this out now. Stefan then gets a call from Sloan, who asks if they can have a little chat.

Gwen tells Alex that she’s all done in the shower so he can take his. Alex thanks her and says there’s something seriously wrong with her friend. Alex kisses her on the cheek and then heads to the shower. Leo questions Gwen, who confirms that she and Alex had sex twice. Leo is excited for her but then says he was worried sick about her since he ran in to Xander at the office, who told him what happened so he raced over here, thinking that she would be holed up and licking her wounds but it turns out she was licking something else entirely. Gwen jokingly tells him not to be so filthy. Leo points out that she bagged two of the hottest guys in Salem in Xander and Alex. Leo calls her a queen and jokes that he both hates and respects her at the same time. Leo adds that he got a sneak peek at Alex’s main attraction which he calls epic. Gwen agrees, so Leo asks her to give him all the details.

Nicole offers to go with EJ to confront Stefan since he’s less likely to kill him with her there. EJ argues that this is not her fight but Nicole feels it is since she was Stefan’s unintended victim. Nicole adds that they are seeing each other again which makes them a team. Nicole says for them to go kick his brother’s ass. Nicole kisses EJ and then they exit the bedroom together.

Johnny pours himself a cup of coffee but then stops and says better safe than sorry as he puts it down. EJ and Nicole walk in to the living room and greet him. Johnny asks how EJ is feeling. EJ says he’s better and thanks him. EJ thanks Johnny for helping him out last night and getting him out before he made an even bigger fool of himself in front of Wei Shin. Johnny says it’s probably no surprise to him that Stefan is pushing for Wei to fire EJ. EJ confirms it’s not and asks where his backstabbing brother is. Johnny informs EJ that he just missed him. Johnny hopes EJ is not mad at him for warning Stefan, but points out that it’s like Stefan said he was just giving EJ a taste of his own medicine. EJ responds that Johnny doesn’t understand as he didn’t start the whole drugging business, Stefan did.

Belle gets Melinda’s message about going for attempted murder which upsets Brady, who argues that he wasn’t trying to murder Stefan, he was trying to help him. Eric and Sloan come downstairs. Sloan guesses they got the message from Melinda which Brady calls pretty ridiculous. Belle points out that Sloan missed a button on her top and mutters so much for keeping it professional. Eric assumes that Brady told Belle that he hired Sloan. Belle calls it one bad decision after another. Eric argues that Sloan is an excellent attorney and Belle gave him no choice. Belle admits it would be best for them to work together. Belle acknowledges that she and Sloan don’t get along but they do have a common goal in keeping Eric and Brady out of prison. Belle suggests they go around Melinda and call Stefan. Sloan then reveals that she already did as Stefan then arrives at the Pub.

Gwen starts telling Leo about how the night started but Leo says that’s not what he wants to hear. Leo says nobody cares about the setup and wants a vivid picture of Alex in bed. Gwen starts but gets interrupted by her phone. Gwen says there’s an emergency with an advertiser so she has to get to work. Gwen asks Leo to tell Alex that she had to run. Leo complains that she better give him the details later and says it will be great for his gossip column but Gwen warns him against doing that. Gwen then exits the room.

Johnny goes over that Stefan spiked EJ’s drink, EJ switched it, and then Stefan switched it back. Nicole says it’s been going on for too long. EJ explains that technically he never drugged Stefan and that Stefan had drugged himself. Johnny questions why Stefan is doing all of this in the first place. EJ suspects that Stefan holds a grudge against him for not telling him about the brainwashing. Johnny says that’s great and now they can just call it even. EJ admits he was coming to confront him but guesses he missed his chance. Nicole decides she should get to work then. Johnny mentions that he was heading out too and offers Nicole a ride which she accepts. Nicole tells EJ that she will see him tonight and exits with Johnny.

Stefan sits down with Sloan and Belle while Brady and Eric step aside. Sloan thanks Stefan for meeting them. Belle notes that she was just telling Sloan that they have a common goal. Stefan guesses that’s getting her brothers off the hook for what they did to him. Sloan realizes their methods were wreckless. Stefan complains that they kidnapped him, knocked him out, and tied him to a bed so a madman could experiment on him. Sloan points out that in the end, the experiment was a success and he’s back to the man he was. Stefan calls it still a hell of a risk that they took without his consent. Brady remarks that he’s one to talk about consent. Belle tells him to let them handle this. Sloan admits what their clients did was extreme but repeats that in the end, it all worked out for the best. Sloan asks Stefan to please not press charges. Stefan responds that as much as he hates to admit it, in the end, they did him a favor. Stefan tells them to consider the charges dropped. Brady and Eric come back over and thank Stefan. Stefan tells them to thank their lawyers and then exits the Pub. Belle and Sloan then agree that they still can’t stand each other.

Gwen goes to the Spectator office where Xander says he didn’t think she was coming in today. Gwen says she heard there was a problem with an advertiser. Xander says he was about to take care of it but Gwen says she’s here now, so she can. Xander adds that he’s happy to cover it if she wants to take the day off. Gwen questions why she would do that. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to put up a front with him and mentions that Leo was just here, so he feels terrible that she spent the night all alone crying in her room. Gwen then reveals to Xander that she wasn’t alone as she was busy hitting the sheets with his cousin, Alex.

Alex comes out of the shower and asks where Gwen is. Leo responds that she had to go to work so it’s just them. Alex says that’s good because he wanted a moment alone with him. Leo excitedly says he did too but Alex says he has a bone to pick with the guy who ruined his career.

Brady sits back down with Belle and tells her that breakfast is on him after she just saved his life. Belle is thankful that Stefan was willing to listen to reason. Brady remarks that Belle and Sloan make a pretty good team so maybe they should put a firm together. Belle asks who would then represent her when she throws Sloan out the woman. Belle assures there will be no more teaming up with Sloan as she still loathes her and wishes Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny and Nicole walk through the town square. Nicole apologizes for lying to Johnny and Wendy about what was going on. Johnny jokes that she’s not the first person to keep a secret for EJ. Johnny acknowledges Nicole and EJ are getting pretty close, so he asks if that means she’s over Eric. Nicole then sees Eric and Sloan walking through the town square together in the distance. Nicole tells Johnny that she’s getting there.

EJ sits in the living room and tells the portrait of Stefano that he’s sure he doesn’t approve of all this in-fighting but whether he likes it or not, there’s going to be a reckoning between he and Stefan. Stefan then comes home and enters the room.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kyle: You are engaged?

Summer: Uh…wow.

Kyle: Getting married. Did not see that coming.

Jack: I know it sounds a little out of the blue, but if you think about it, it’s really not. It seemed — well, it made perfect sense to us.

Kyle: Yeah, perfect sense to you, but you have —

Summer: Is that something that you’ve been thinking about for a while or —

Kyle: Why didn’t you say anything?

Jack: Well, I suppose the moment actually, uh, surprised me.

Diane: Both of us.

Jack: But our relationship has been heading in that direction for some time now, and it felt right.

Kyle: Why this weekend? At the cabin? The timing is weird.

Diane: What do you mean, kyle?

Kyle: The two of you leave town because stark has returned, to avoid whatever potential revenge he has planned, and you come back engaged? I have to ask — is this engagement because of the threat of jeremy stark?

Phyllis: I am. That’s what I’m doing. I’m carrying out the next phase of our plan. But it’s gonna take some time. Because we need personal items of diane’S. That’s not gonna be easy to get. It takes maneuvering and finesse. And I feel like I need to remind you — please do not endanger my family while I’m making this happen. Mr. Stark, you don’t get to make threats and be impatient. I am telling you, do not hurt my family. Uh, I have to go. Alright. Bye. Bye. Hey!

Lauren: Hey, phyllis.

Phyllis: Hey, lauren.

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Hi there.

Nick: What are you doing here?

Victoria: Uh, I’m just getting a little work done and having a glass of wine. Are you on your way up to see sally? How’s she doing?

Nick: Uh, physically, both she and the baby are doing great.

Victoria: “Physically”?

Nick: It’s a tough situation emotionally.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Yeah, because of adam. Whenever he gets involved, somehow it becomes more difficult.

Nick: It’s been difficult the whole time. I will give adam credit, though. He seems to be behaving like an adult and respecting the rules.

Victoria: Well, that’s a first.

Nick: Sally was very explicit about what she wanted his role to be during the pregnancy.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. And he’s not using the fact that he is the father to his advantage? He’s not trying to manipulate sally to suit whatever his agenda might be?

Nick: Not yet. But I’m ready for anything.

Summer: I just can’t help feeling in my bones that things aren’t over between you and adam yet. I sense some sort of eternal connection there, as if…

Sally: What?

Adam: As if we’re meant to be.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Victoria: You know, one of the things that I love the most about you is that you have this ability to see the best in people. You have a very big heart.

Nick: You’re just jealous because you don’t have a heart at all.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe that’s true, but not in all cases. Anyway, it comes in handy when I’m dealing with certain personalities, like adam’S. You know, you have to remember who he is and what he’s capable of, and you cannot take him at his word.

Nick: I know. I’ve been burned by it too many times.

Victoria: Yeah, we all have. So, the fact that he is suddenly acting like a responsible, mature adult — that should be setting off alarm bells for you.

Nick: Oh, I know. They are clanging in my head loud and clear. But I appreciate the reminder, especially since I know that you would prefer it if adam and sally ended up together.

Victoria: Well, I mean, i can’t lie. They do seem like they’re better suited for one another.

Nick: How so?

Victoria: I don’t know. I mean, their personalities just seem closer. Look, nicholas, I’m not judging you. I’m just saying, my observation when I look at sally and adam, they just seem like a more natural couple than you and her. Don’t you agree?

Nick: No. But I guess I could see why you would say that.

Victoria: Okay. Well, if that’s true, then maybe you should be asking yourself, “should I be concerned?”

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Roses. I know. Alarmingly cliché.

Sally: But still very sweet. I love some good old-fashioned romance from time to time.

Adam: Well, good, because that is what you’re gonna get with me.

Sally: Ahh. I remember when you brought me flowers on my first day as ceo of newman media.

Adam: You didn’t exactly have a classic response to those.

Sally: What, I didn’t thank you?

Adam: I think it was more along the lines of, “this is such a big risk. I don’t know if I have the experience.”

Sally: God, yes. I had a total freak-out. I’m very sorry.

Adam: Well, don’t be. It was honest. And it was endearing.

Sally: Sure. Yeah. We’re gonna go with that.

[ Both laugh ] Look, I really appreciate how much you’ve believed in me since the very beginning.

Adam: Of course I did. Because I know you like nobody else does…or ever will.

Lauren: That looked like a pretty intense phone call.

Phyllis: Ah, no, that was nothing. Thank you.

Lauren: Thank you. Well, it sort of felt like something.

Phyllis: Really? No.

Lauren: Yeah!

Phyllis: I mean, I was just talking to the salon. I’m trying to get a mani-pedi appointment, and they can’t get me in till next week, and i just — look. Look how horrible my nails are. I need to get them done. So, that’s all that was. I… hey. Thank you. Thank you for pointing out that I was intense. I really appreciated it. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna call that salon and I’m gonna apologize to them. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’ve been apologizing a lot lately.

Lauren: Yeah —

Phyllis: Hey, but I want to talk about you. You — you’ve been planning for the bicentennial party. So, I want to know all about it.

Lauren: What’s going on?

Phyllis: What do you mean?

Lauren: Well, the last time i saw you, you could not have been more miserable, and now you’re just, like, vibrating with positive energy or energy of some sort. What happened between then and now?

Jack: No, it was not the threat of jeremy stark that led me to propose.

Kyle: How could that not have been a factor?

Jack: If anything, it might have put things in perspective for me. And by that, I mean I realize i no longer want to keep looking backwards, rehashing the past. It’s not fair to diane. And we’ve done it too long.

Diane: Yeah. I don’t expect people to forget all the things I’ve done or to just let it go. I mean, I’m aware that forgiveness has to be earned, and I will continue to win people’s trust by the way I live my life.

Jack: When diane first came back into our lives, I was suspicious of her motives, of her intentions.

Kyle: We remember.

Jack: I was trying to protect you, kyle. Now, I can’t remember the exact moment when I fell back in love with her, but I know it happened shortly after I realized she was trying to protect you, too. When I saw the love she had for you and for harrison, yes, it was a change of heart for me. I realized then that she is not the same person, that she is a different person with different — different priorities. Not everyone’s going to agree with me, but as far as I’m concerned, diane has nothing left to prove. Kyle, I asked her to marry me for one reason. I love her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I have not been this happy in a very long time. You have to also remember that this love started many years ago. Yes, it has been put through unbelievable tests, and still the flame has not extinguished. And we feel the full force of it now. And we can’t — we won’t deny it any longer.

Diane: And we also have the wisdom and experience that we didn’t have the first time we were together. We’ve both been through so much. And we have matured into different people. And we are better together than we are apart. I love my hardwood floors.

Jack: Kyle, diane is already an integral part of this family. She’s your mother. She’s harrison’s dee dee. She adores that little boy every bit as much as we adore him. This is the natural next step.

Kyle: I can see how strongly you both feel. I appreciate that. But you must know not everyone is going to see this as a natural next step.

Jack: We are well aware of how others might react to this. We can’t let them dictate our decisions. We have chosen each other. We want to embrace this wonderful thing that has happened to us, and we are sincerely hoping the both of you can do the same.

Kyle: No, we want you to be happy. You have to know that.

Diane: We do.

Summer: And you do seem happy.

Kyle: But I am still struggling to understand why you feel the need to get married now. It’s a lot to process. We just — we need some time to let it sink in.

Diane: All right, that’s fair. We don’t want to push. We just hope that you can see it in your hearts to give us your blessing — at some point.

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?

Nick: I’m not worried about adam making inroads with sally, if you’re asking if I’m jealous.

Victoria: Are you?

Nick: No, but I am worried that he’s going to cause sally a bunch of stress that she and the baby just don’t need.

Victoria: Well, just do your best to protect her. Make sure you keep your guard up.

Nick: I will. I would tell you to do the same, but I know your guard is always up when it comes to adam. And just so you know, adam did confirm dad’s plan.

Victoria: And what plan is that?

Nick: Once newman enterprises acquires mccall unlimited, adam’s gonna be placed in charge.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] That is never gonna happen.

Nick: Look, vick, I know fighting with dad is like a newman family staple, but i really think you should consider staying out of this one. Dad wants to bring adam closer to the family, and you know how he is. He’s not gonna quit until he gets what he wants.

Victoria: Well, then I guess he’s just gonna have to find another way to get what he wants.

Nick: By letting adam run mccall, it keeps him out of our business and lets him focus on something else.

Victoria: But then adam wins.

Nick: Who cares, vick? Let him, if it keeps him out of our hair.

Victoria: My plan is to fold mccall into newman, and I’m not gonna let dad and adam derail that.

Nick: Newman doesn’t need mccall. We’ve made a bunch of greatacquisitions. The company is doing great. Let’s just focus on what we have. Let adam and dad go off and do whatever they want away from us.

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.

Phyllis: After that very unfortunate evening I had with you and michael, um… I had a moment. I had a wake-up call.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve been self-sabotaging. And it’s made me very unhappy. I don’t want to do that. You know? It’s not what I want.

Lauren: Well, good. I’m glad to hear it.

Phyllis: Yeah. And I am sorry.

Lauren: Wow. Look who’s getting better with the apology thing.

Phyllis: I know! I know!

Lauren: Wow.

Phyllis: Practice makes perfect.

Lauren: Yeah. You know, I so want to believe this change is positive and legit, but I still think you need some, you know, perspective and — and distance.

Phyllis: Okay. Sure. What do you have in mind?

Lauren: I have a great idea. Girls’ trip. Let’s go for the weekend to vegas. I have some business there, and it’s not gonna take too much time, which means you, my friend, can have some fun.

Phyllis: That’s great. I would love that. You know, um, why don’t we do that, but just not now. I can’t get away at the moment.

Lauren: Really? I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t have a job and you’re fighting with your kids.

Phyllis: Why would I take that the wrong way?

Lauren: Look, I’m just asking you, what is keeping you from leaving?

Phyllis: I-I just have a lot of things going on, other things, and I just can’t leave town at the moment. You can’t run away from your problems, right?

Lauren: Honey.

Victor… why are you still

living with odors?

Jack: Evening. Lauren. Phyllis.

Lauren: Hi, jack.

Phyllis: Hey. You two look amazing.

Diane: Thos sincere.

Phyllis: Well, I’m just pointing out the obvious. That’s all.

Lauren: So, let’s just leave it there then, okay? An unspoiled, surprisingly civil moment.

Phyllis: I mean, I made an effort. That’s what I did. I get points for trying.

Diane: Oh, is that because you’re always keeping score?

Phyllis: That’s right. I was always keeping score, wasn’t I? I played a game, and I lost. And you know what that caused me? Nothing but misery. Nothing but misery. But, see, I want what you guys have. That’s what I want. I want romance and love and beauty. I want what they have. And, uh, that’s hard to get, isn’t it? It’s harder to sustain. Right? Especially in your current circumstance.

Jack: What circumstance?

Phyllis: I’m just surprised to see you back in town.

Nate: So, elena crashed as soon as we got home, but I still had all this energy, so I wanted to see you. The latest developments with tucker’s company have my mind working overtime.

Victoria: Yeah. That makes two of us.

Nate: I was thinking maybe we could continue strategizing about the deal?

Victoria: Yeah, of course. Um, nick and I — we just bumped into each other by chance.

Nick: Huh. Yeah. Um… I was just coming by to see sally.

Victoria: Well, you’re welcome to stick around for the discussion, if you’d like.

Nate: Absolutely. I would love to hear your input, nick.

Nick: Yeah, maybe next time. I got to get upstairs. You, uh, have a great conversation.

Victoria: Actually, I have been going over some of the numbers that I wanted to show you.

Nate: Okay.

Victoria: Well, this page here.

Nate: Yeah, I was going over this, as well.

Sally: Why are you here?

Adam: You know why, sally.

Sally: Refresh my memory.

Adam: Because we are meant to be.

Sally: I didn’t say that.

Adam: It doesn’t matter because it’s something that we both know is true. Do you remember how perfect things were when we were together? I mean, of course you do. It was impossible to forget.

Sally: I remember.

Adam: And up until that moment, both of us had lived lives like we were on the outside, like we were at war with the world and ourselves. And then suddenly there was this person in front of us that understood us. I mean, I saw you exactly for who you are. I accepted you. I loved you in a way that made you feel like you didn’t know what love was until that moment. We had a connection of a lifetime, and I know that you feel it just as much as I do. We are meant to be together. And that is what this baby represents. This is our love that is real. You and me, whoever, we’re gonna create this incredible person. Sally? Sally!

Sally: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Sally! Sally? Sally, if you don’t open this door, I’m gonna call security! On the count of three. One, two — are you okay?

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] Get in here.

[ Door slams ] Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: [ Breathing heavily ]

Victoria: You know tucker. He has been a bit unpredictable. I thought I knew what fueled him — to win at all costs.

Nate: Mm. You definitely understand that.

Victoria: Well, so do you. I mean, we’re both very ambitious, but it feels like tucker’s taking a different path.

Nate: Hmm. So, what do we think has changed?

Victoria: I don’t know. I’m not sure, but something is definitely different. Maybe after everything he’s been through, maybe he’s getting a little soft.

Nate: Is that what age and life experience do to you?

Victoria: Mm. Well, not to me, but for tucker, maybe. Or maybe he really does want to bridge the gap between him and devon. He has a grandchild now. And apparently he has a woman that he can’t get off his mind.

Nate: You’re talking about ashley, who bought up his debt.

Victoria: You know, he has been pursuing her since he came back to town. Ashley — she bought up all of his debt, yes, maybe to keep him engaged, maybe to keep him under her control.

[ Sighs ] Are they mixing what happens in the boardroom with the bedroom? I have no idea. At least, not yet. But regardless, buying up all of that debt was a very smart move on ashley’s part. It was very powerful. Something that I might have done. So, if the goal is to get tucker to sell his company to us, then we have to figure out why ashley did what she did. What does she want?

Nate: Control.

Victoria: Yes, that’s a very powerful motivator. Most people crave that.

Nate: Some more than others.Just me honest about it.

Nate: Okay, um, let’s try to connect the dots. Ashley is in a position to make demands of tucker. You think tucker offered to sell his company to devon. Is it logical that she’d use her leverage to force him into it?

Victoria: Logical? No. No. Why would ashley care about tucker’s company or who he sells it to? Why would she work so hard to try to repair the relationship between devon and tucker? No. It’s occam’s razor. The simplest answer is usually the most likely. They’re two very dynamic and powerful people with a passion for business and for each other.

Nate: She’s testing him to see how far he would go for her.

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: It’s a game.

Victoria: Exactly. It’s a game, one that most men, I think, enjoy playing. We’re not talking about ashley and tucker anymore, are we?

Nate: We’re talking about us.

Victoria: Yeah, that’s right. We are. Nate, we should just stop dancing around this. What is going on between the two of us?

Kyle: Look, I… I-I’m not crazy. This engagement is impulsive, right?

Summer: Buying a pack of gum at the register — that is impulsive.

This is madness.

[ Exhales sharply ] We have thought about this being a possibility before.

Kyle: Yeah, but now it’s real.

Summer: It’s a little too real. I don’t know if I should tell you what I’m actually thinking right now.

Kyle: Please do.

Summer: Kyle, I’m wondering if this was diane’s plan all along.

Kyle: You know how diabolical she would have to be to come to town to try to marry my dad?

Summer: Maybe it was an unconscious thing. But then again, she did lure jack to L.A. Using mysterious texts and inserted herself in his life in underhanded ways. And, honestly, what about her has been on the up-and-up? It’s been secret after secret. And if you tally it all up —

Kyle: No, no, no, people aren’t equations. Most of the time, they’re a bundle of messy emotions. You and I are examples of that.

Summer: I’m not disagreeing with you there. I am just worried that you and jack are turning a blind eye to something.

Kyle: And I’m worried you’re never gonna be able to let go of your suspicions and give my mother a chance.

Summer: Are you serious right now, kyle? I have given your mom so many chances. But, no, I’m not gonna ignore that they are rushing into this, and it’s a red flag. Come on. You can’t actually think that them getting married right now is a good idea. We both know that things are moving way too fast.

Nick: I mean, you barely let me get a word out before you had my clothes off.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Are you complaining?

Nick: No. No way.

Sally: I should hope not.

Nick: No, it was [Chuckles] Amazing. Um…it just seemed a little urgent. Again, not complaining. I just was wondering if there was something behind it.

Sally: Well, I thought you liked my urgency and spontaneity.

Nick: I do so much. Don’t stop.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I guess I’m talking more about the look that was in your eye when I first got here.

Sally: What do you think you saw?

Nick: [ Stammers ] I don’t know, uh…like maybe you were trying to lose yourself in the sex or something. Is… is there something going on i should know?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Inhales sharply ] Ohh. You’re right. There is something. She found it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yes. Something has been bothering me.

Nick: Tell me.

Sally: It’s summer.

Nick: I’m so sorry that you have to deal with that. I’m gonna talk to her again and just make sure she fully gets it. That you and I are good together.

Sally: No, look, that’s just it. The last time we ran into each other, I was ready for a whole nother round of name-calling and accusations. But she told me that you had talked to her, so I don’t know if that had an effect on her, but for summer, she was very muted. Like more than muted. Like she actually really wanted to try and make peace.

Nick: Hmm. I don’t see the problem.

Sally: It was just strange the way the whole conversation went. Like she started off as a concerned daughter, which I get, and then a concerned friend to me. And I would not say that we’re friends, but then the whole conversation veered into talking about adam, like how adam and I were so happy when we were together and this bond that we share. And now that we’re having this baby, it’s like we’re meant to be.

Nick: Well, obviously, i don’t agree with that. Did it bother you because maybe you were thinking you and adam were a better match than you and me are?

Sally: Of course not. Look, we don’t — we don’t have to get into all that again.

Nick: Well, you’re the one that brought it up. I just think that summer’s words are hitting you on a level you haven’t acknowledged yet. Are you still feeling conflicted?

Kyle: I want my mom and dad to be happy. I see how much they love each other and it makes me remember when I was a kid, that was all I wanted — to see them happy and together.

Summer: But you’re an adult now.

Kyle: But seeing them this happy, it makes me worried. My dad has put his whole heart and soul into this, and it’s clear how much they love each other. But is getting married the right thing for them? It’s happening so fast, and there’s so many reasons why they’re not on the road to happily ever after.

Summer: Starting with jeremy stark.

Kyle: Even if he didn’t exist and he wasn’t on his way to europe to track them down, it sounded like my dad wanted to ignore reality. It’s like he’s setting himself up to be hurt again.

Jack: Excuse me. You said you were surprised we were back in town. Why?

Phyllis: I don’t know what you’re getting at. I mean, I knew you were going out of town. You were going to be gone for a while, but then you came back, and here you are. I mean, I guess that makes sense.

Jack: What do you mean? Makes sense how?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, summer and kyle must have told you that jeremy stark was flying to paris to find you.

Diane: How did you know that?

Lauren: Yeah, what is all this about?

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] I was the one who told him. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Victoria: I’m gonna get a room upstairs. I’d really like for you to join me. I won’t be insulted or take it personally if you choose not to. But this has nothing to do with your job or our professional relationship. One has nothing to do with the other. Either way, that’s up to you.

Sally: It’s just that summer was really friendly after that, like she was, like, putting on airs and I just… I just wasn’t buying it.

Nick: Well, it sounds to me like she was trying, but the animosity is still there. I mean, you two had quite the history.

Sally: Yeah, I’m sure she believes I deserve a head game or two after what I did to her.

Nick: You know what? My daughter may be trying to pull one over you, but I don’t want that for you. I don’t like the effect it’s having. I just want you to exist in this bubble of peace and harmony.

Sally: I’m gonna tell you the truth, okay? There is no bubble of peace and harmony.

Nick: What?

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: Oh, man. Okay. You know, regardless of my daughter’s motives, are you feeling any new conflict where adam is concerned?

Sally: No, I’m not.

Nick: Are you sure?

Sally: I just have been having these stupid thoughts, like these anxiety dreams of what the future might hold and what it might look like for me and all the grief and negativity that might be coming my way as we move forward.

Nick: Well, it’s not gonna be easy. But we’re gonna get through it.

Sally: Yeah. I just seriously wonder if I’m gonna be able to handle the onslaught that’s about to come from your family.

Summer: You’re worried that diane could break your dad’s heart?

Kyle: And that they’re in danger and she may have to leave again. There are so many unknowns, including the looming threat they want to ignore. Do they think that he’s just going to go away on his own?

Summer: Getting engaged is definitely not gonna get rid of jeremy stark.

Kyle: And if it’s so right, why are they keeping it from people?

Summer: Well, we know why. Because they know how problematic it is and that no one is gonna welcome this news.

Kyle: No one.

Summer: Oh, my gosh. Oh, just wait until my mom hears about this. It is not gonna be pretty.

Phyllis: Oh, gosh, I’m embarrassed to admit this. Here it goes. Jeremy stark came to me and asked me to be part of his scheme to get to you.

Diane: It’s not surprising.

Phyllis: Well, I told him i wanted nothing to do with it.

Diane: You know, phyllis, there’s something about this

Phyllis: You know what? Jeremy stark scares me. He is a very, very dangerous guy. I mean, I saw in him right away what you eventually came to see. But I don’t want him in any of our lives.

Diane: Maybe you should have thought of that before you called him to begin with.

Phyllis: You know what, you are right. My fight with you cost me so much, diane. It cost me my relationship with my kids. And I’m working very, very hard to fix that and make amends. And that’s why I went to summer and kyle and told them that jeremy was on his way to europe to find you. So… hey, enough of me. Enough of me. Go enjoy your dinner. Go, go, go, go. Enjoy.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: What?

Lauren: That was quite a performance.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Lauren: What the hell are you up to?

Phyllis: I’m not up to anything. Really. See, I wish for diane and jack nothing but happiness.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Think he works for pikeman? I don’t think they want to risk jeopardizing the deal. Too much at stake. But I’m going to find out who this guy is working for. Wake up. Wake up! You want me to help you? Then you got to help me in return. You understand me? What do you want? I want you to tell me who you’re working for. Thank you, trish. Okay. Ooh. Oh, I can smell it from here. Yeah.Chef giselle did not skimp on the ginger and the garlic, did she? No. Okay, this should do the trick. Champagne. What’s the occasion? You and kevin making up. You’ve been friends way too long to stop now. I couldn’t agree with you more.

[ Glasses clink ] So cody actually encouraged you to talk to kevin? He did. He told me that I shouldn’t let that baggage fester between us. Good advice. Yeah. So it was a good visit, then? It was… until it wasn’T. Dante: Is mac really your father? Seems so. Wait, so then these tests were taken, what, like, weeks after the other test? Yep. So what’s the deal? The first tests that said that mac wasn’t your father, those are wrong? Uh, not exactly. Mr. Cassadine, I, uh — I don’t know if we officially met. My name is hamilton finn. Yeah, I remember you, doctor. I’m also aware of your relationship with elizabeth baldwin. Well, I’ve been called in to consult on the pathogen found in your system. Although extremely rare, I was able to identify it. Ah, excellent. Now you can get rid of it as soon as possible. At least take some time to consider my offer. You’d be enhancing charlotte’s trust fund. You wouldn’t have to concern yourself with elq matters. I’m sorry, but I can’t just give up valentin’s stake in the company. But he’s gone. It doesn’t really benefit anybody to hang on to passive stake, unless… unless there’s something else going on. Victor went to great lengths to get his hands on that necklace. So what is the significance of those codes engraved in the diamond? Well, according to laura, victor jumped at eileen’s suggestion that she could get an unredacted report of the necklace. So what I’m thinking is, what if we planted false codes in that report to see where it led victor? I like the way your mind works. Is it sexy or scary? I think it’s both.

[ Laughs ] What was that noise? I have to leave immediately. Oh, no, not this. No, please. Make her stop. Look, do you think that anybody remembered to order the step-and-repeat for the ball’s red carpet? No. Do you think they know how to find a llama that doesn’t spit? No. Without me, the nurses’ ball is going to go down in flames. It will be the end of the show forever. Thank you for coming. Olivia sends her regrets. She caught the little bug that’s going around. Oh, james’ teacher has it, too. Tell olivia I sympathize and send her lots of get well wishes. Would you prefer we come back at another time, when olivia is better? Not necessary. Olivia totally deputized me. I am ready, willing, and able to discuss using the metro court ballroom for the nurses’ ball. But there’s a slight hitch. Already? What is it? Or who is it? Carly: No, that sounds good. And also, I need you to put more drops in donna’s ears when she wakes up. Yes, and give her a big hug for me, and tell her I will be home as soon as I can. This meeting should not take long. Bobbie: This is outrageous. It’s unacceptable! Maxie: Brook lynn, are you sure?

[ Sighs ] On second thought… groveling to that woman, it’s not part of my duties as co-chair. What the heck is going on here? The nurses’ ball needs a new home. And if we don’t find one soon, the nurses’ ball is not happening.

I’m afraid treating your condition is no simple matter. A pathogen, mr. Cassadine, it’s, um — it’s an organism that causes disease to the host. The severity of those symptoms is — it’s referred to as virulence. Well, a specific symptom I’m experiencing is virulent in the extreme. I understand. What is highly uncommon here is for a pathogen to cause such a specific immune response. Well, could this affect my other organs, like my heart or my lungs? This is not an invasive pathogen. It doesn’t seem to have spread to other organs or other tissues. The effects are localized, and as I said, very, very specific. So what does all that mean? Pathogen has a mission. One it has achieved. You said you d on’t deserveto have mac in your life. And I quote, “not after what I did.” What did you do? I screwed up. And I… I don’t know how to make it right. You lied. About the first dna results. You said that mac wasn’t your father, when in actuality, he is. Why did you do that, man? Mac: My visit with cody was great at first. Hell, he likes bludger. Your favorite obscure australian beer that no one knows about. Cody does. So what went wrong? I don’t know. I mean, we were — we got to talking, and then he clammed up. Sounds like cody’s not exactly in touch with his feelings. Yeah. I mean, look, you can’t really blame him. You know, he lived on an estate that wasn’t his. On the outside looking in. I’ll bet that’s why cody’s always looking for the next payday. Laura: It’s too soon to make any major decisions about charlotte’s inheritance. Because valentin only recently died. Okay. Got it. I hope you didn’t find my proposition to be insensitive. I certainly didn’t mean to come across that way at all. No. [ Chuckles ] Just trying to heal a family rift and also unify elq once again. Well, there’s absolutely no need to apologize. I can certainly see why the proposal makes sense from your perspective, but whatever happens with valentin’s shares isn’t up to me. Did you just saya llama that doesn’t spit?

[ Laughs ] Oh, duh. There was lana in 2017. Great llama. There was lloyd the next year. Great llama. Everybody knows, though, you do not hire lorraine because she is a notorious expectorator. You know, there’s all the rehearsals to plan for the musical numbers, the costuming, not to mention the orchestral needs. I really — I really do feel how disappointed you are not to be part of the nurses’ ball this year. I do. I get it. No, you don’T. You have no idea. I have been the mistress of ceremonies for the nurses’ ball since the ’90s. I’m the only one. And now this year’s so special because it’s the 60th anniversary of gh, and I need to be there chairing all the committees, planning everything with my friends and with marty. And instead, I am stuck here with the two of you. No offense. This is just totally unfathomable!

[ Door slams ]

[ Sighs ] She’s not wrong. I mean, the beauty of the nurses’ ball is that it really does just bring people together. Their time and their talent for such a worthy cause. For robin’s cause. She’s not the only onethat’s really sad not to be part of the nurses’ ball this year. Okay. I don’t understand. Why does the metro court need a new venue? It might not. Okay? And no one said anything about anyone having to grovel. Olivia did say that it would be a joint decision. What’s the problem? What decision? I — the nurses’ ball is always held at the metro court, guys. Yeah, while you were the co-owner. Okay, I’m sure we could still have the ball there. But it’s not only up to olivia. Oh, she needs the agreement of her new partner… nina. Who do you work for? Don’t know. You don’t know who you work for?! Contractor. Deal was anonymous. He’s not going to last much longer.

[ Groans ] Sonny: Brick. Sonny. I’m glad you showed up. Listen. That the doctor? “Concierge physician.” Very, very discreet. All right, I need you to make sure that guy stays alive. At least until I get some answers.

Come on, doctor. We don’t have all day. He’s gone. He’s — son of a bitch! I’m sorry about that. Alright. It was a long shot anyway. You know what, doctor? Can you help out dex? No, I’m good, boss. No, we have a doctor. Let him help you. Kid seems to have the worst of luck. How is it that he’s always in the line of fire? Cody’s job at the quartermaine stables is a really good gig. Cody told me he was sellin g hisplasma for extra money. What? Plus I’ve seen him with selina wu on more than one occasion. It seems that money is the driving force with cody. Or he’s on a never-ending quest for stability. Can’t we help him with that, mac? I knew that caesar faison and leopold taub were members of some cartel in the ’90s, and… I just… I thought that maybe faison had access to taub’s money. So when I met britt and discovered that she was faison’s daughter — you thought you could use her to get to her father’s money. Did you ever really like britt? I did. I did. I did eventually. Heck, my feelings for britt actually made me take my eyes off the prize. And then it just fell into our laps thanks to peter august’s final effects and safe deposit key. And then what? You met mac, and that threw a wrench in your plans? That necklace belonged to taub. In the late ’80s, early ’90s. And then it just mysteriously showed up in a safe deposit box owned by faison’s son? I really believe that that necklace was my birthright. Except that that dna test you did with mac proved that whatever belonged to leopold taub was not your birthright. But you lied and led everyone to believe that he was your father. My birth mother was an heiress who gave away every dime to her daughter. Serena. Yeah, some woman that I’ve never even met, who ended up giving away what was supposed to be my half of the inheritance to save the whales. Don’t get me wrong. Look, I like whales. I like dolphins, too. But right now, financially, they’re doing better than me. That necklace was supposed to be my shot, dante. You lied to mac. You used britt. Maybe sam was right about you. Good news is this pathogen has a low toxigenicity. Bad news? The microorganism is not one that naturally occurs in north america. Well, I… I do have several international business associates. Could I have contracted this from one of them? What you’ve contracted is known as an obligate pathogen, which means doesn’t survive for long outside of the human body. So you’re saying I couldn’t have got this from being in contact with anyone? Highly unlikely. Then how did I get it? Do you have any enemies? Va lentin’s stocks aren’t mineto give, sell, or trade. They belong to charlotte, and when she comes of age, she’ll decide whether or not to keep them. I respect that.

[ Chuckles ] Well, unfortunately, it does put a pin in your family’s plans for elq. Well, my family can live with charlotte retaining her stake. The stock could be in far worse hands, like valentin’S. May he rest in peace. Thank you for your time, laura. Bye. Bye. For all her delusions of grandeur, lucy is right. She has done so much to make the nurses’ ball a success, and she has helped countless people along the way. Robin included. Forgive me. I didn’t even think of that. I shouldn’t have made light of her feelings. No. Oh, no, no. In all fairness, she’s a real pain in the — the — the thing. You know, I just wish that she could trust maxie and bobbie, because they’re more than capable of making this happen. The show will go on. The nurses’ ball is bigger than all of us. It’s an honor for the metro court to host the nurses’ ball. I’m sure nina will not object. Oh, I swear, if that woman makes us beg — we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it. Meanwhile, maxie, thank you for asking me to help. I’m honored, really. You’re also essential.

[ Laughs ] Okay, well, whatever you need, don’t hesitate to ask. I mean, I can help organize. I would love to be on the entertainment committee. Music to my ears. We have so much to get done in such a little amount of time. Well, I only wish I could save you from having to involve nina. Oh, carly, what are you trying to keep from me this time?

Thanks. You’re lucky. Few millimeters over, it would have shattered your arm. Six inches, it would have blown hole through your chest. Tony, let the doctor out. Make sure he gets paid. Yeah. Let’s go. You want to tell me what happened here? Shooter was right there. If dex hadn’t spotted him, I’d have been taken out. Hmm. Nice little ambush spot. Guy was a pro. I need you to find out who hired him. Brick. Yeah. Hmm. Check the contact. There’s only one contact, one message — an address and a time. I’ll see if I can dig up more data. Your guy’s wearing no jewelry, has no obvious tats. Only thing he’s got on him is a key fob and a matchbook. May I? Go ahead. It’s the highsider logo. The biker bar. You might just be useful after all. You have no idea. The kid saved my life. Nina, perfect timing. I would say so. You know, nina brought olivia soup. Isn’t that thoughtful? I’m gonna take this soup up to olivia. So, what did I walk in on? Maxie: Bobbie and I are co-chairing the planning committee for the nurses ball. That’s nice. When is the ball happening? Three weeks. Wow, that soon? Yeah, well, gh’s 60th anniversary is coming up, and we didn’t want to break tradition, so we’re kind of hoping that you and olivia will agree to let us use the ballroom at the metro court. Carly, I’m surprised that you didn’t just pretend to agree when you still co-own the metro court. Well, that is something

you would do. Look, nina, the nurses’ ball can’t get off the ground without your consent. So do you want to keep making jabs, or do you want to rise above your hatred of me for a good cause? Hey. Hi. How’s olivia? I think she is secretly enjoying the opportunity to stay in bed and read. Nice. Secret meeting? More like a gladiator match. And it is anyone’s guess who’s going to emerge from the arena alive. As much as I’ve grown to like cody, he’s not our responsibility. He’s not family. I don’t know. I can’t explain it. But sometimes he feels like it. Actually, I think sam and I reached a truce. Well, yeah, you did. She stepped out for sasha. She was impressed. But, you know, now you’re lying about this whole thing and who your father is. I know. I screwed up. I mean, even before the necklace burned up in that cabin, I regretted everything I did to get my hands on it. Which is why I’m telling the truth now. Why don’t you tell mac? The reason I got the second test was to show mac. Oh, okay. I figure I can convince him that the first test was just the result of a lab error or something. What, so you’re going to tell him the truth and then wrap it up on another lie? All right. There’s no winning with you. Well, there is winning with me. You just — you use the absolute truth. All of it. All of it? Yes. Everything. You want to move forward with a relationship with mac, you start with transparency. That’s what you do. You fess up. You can handle that, right, cody? Are you suggesting I was deliberately infected? Well, this is not an accidental pathogen. So common means of transmission do not apply here. So how did I get it? Well, either by injection, which would be invasive and probably noticeable, but more likely through ingestion. So something I ate or drank? Based on the timing of your symptoms, I would say you contracted the pathogen somewhere late november, early december. That doesn’t make it any easier to pinpoint. And as for perpetrators… we’ll run some further tests to confirm. Oh, wait, you haven’t mentioned treatment. Research in this area is extremely limited. So you’re saying that there’s no cure? The damage done to you is not known to be reversible. So is that right? You saved sonny’s life? Brick, he clocked the hit man before the hit man could get a shot off. He pushed me out of the way. And sonny returned the favor. Some cultures would say now y’all are indebted to each other. I’ll get the data on the phone. I’ll run fast ballistics on this rifle, and I’ll get back to you with what I find. Thanks, brick. Of course. How’s your arm? Just a crease. Sonny: Tony? Yeah. You and dex get rid of that body. I’m tired of looking at it. Grab his legs. Let’s go. Dex!

All good! Hydrate. I’m okay now. I’ll help tony. No, no, no. Look, you’ve lost a lot of blood. You coming down from the adrenaline. You got to take it easy. Just — look. Take a drink. And you’re no good for me down for the count. Got it. Who do you think sent the shooter? If anybody can find out, it’s brick. He’s good. Yeah. Not the only one. How did you know to push me out of the way? I saw something out of the corner of my eye. In afghanistan, sometimes that’s all the warning you got. You know, what’s amazing… is I was going to keep you out of the pikeman deal, and now you’re right in the middle of it. Drink up, then I’m going to take you home. No, I’ll be fine. Tony can give me a ride back to my place. No, no. No, no, no. I’m not taking you to your place. I’m taking you to my place. You got to come clean, cody. All the way clean. Don’t give mac a partial truth. Don’t rob him of the ability to make a choice. You’re right. I can’t tell mac that I’m his son unless I admit that I lied about the first test. And why. Good. Hey, man, if it helps, I’ll be here or wherever it is when you talk to him. Thanks, but, uh, not necessary. I won’t be telling mac anything. Wait, what are you talking about? You’re gonna let him live his life not knowing he had a son? It’s not like mac raised me, so it’s no big loss. You can’t take away what someone never had. Yeah, you can, actually. Why would you deprive him of that? Of getting to know you, getting to know his son? Why would you cheat yourself out of all that? Maybe I don’t deserve it. Does mac deserve it? What’s mac losing? A son who’s beat up from stunt riding and broke down from grifting. Oh, I see. So he pays the price because you don’t want to admit that you screwed up? It’s not a huge price. It’s me. Mac will be better off. You treat everyone like family. I can confirm that.

[ Laughs ] Where’s my husband? Kevin wanted us to tell you that he had to go see a patient. But not before he and mac had a very nice chat. Oh, good. I’m glad to hear that. May I? Please. Please. You know that kevin doesn’t blame you for doing your job. I know that. We’re good. As for the opposite of good… two fingers of your top-shelf scotch. Neat. Thank you. So how did I get it? Well, either by injection, which would be invasive and probably noticeable, but more likely through ingestion. So something I ate or drank? Actually, give me a new bottle, unopened. Mr. Cassadine, my officers have been trying to contact you about the disappearance of your nephew nikolas. Why have you been avoiding us? You could be a part of the nurses’ ball if it weren’t for my father. Oh, it’s all right. Mac and felicia will be there. They were there for robin the toughest part of her life. What we’re doing now will put viktor away for good. And it will allow you to always be a part of robin’s future. Nope. Nope. Nope. And nope. So, guys, I just looked at the entire metro court ballroom calendar for the next five months. There is absolutely nothing. Well, I’m sure maxie will find her way around that. You would hope so. I’m sure your leadership will be sorely missed. Look, I-I just really want — I need the nurses’ ball to be special. It will be. You know, despite all the glitz and glamour, it’s the mission that is so important to people to celebrate. Okay. Yes, you are right. You better believe it. You are so right. And I think that celebration will be realized. Yeah. You know, just without all the pizzazz that you would bring to it, of course. I like pizzazz. I think I could still do it. No, lucy. No. No. I could. I could go still. Look, I know that this is going to hurt us all. But life is going on without us. I have to check the schedule, but we’ll make it work. Of course the metro court will host the nurses’ ball, as long as olivia agrees. Oh, she did already. She gave us her blessing. Great, and then I hope you will let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help. Unless you don’t want me involved. What? Of course we want your help. Don’t we, bobbie? Sure. The more the merrier. Okay, look, ladies, we are the four most capable women that I know. As long as we can work together peacefully, we can achieve anything. Yeah, I’m in. Okay. I’m in, too. Maxie, bobbie, would you mind just giving carly and me a couple of minutes alone?

[ Door closes ] Perfect timing. Please tell drew he has to perform at the nurses’ ball. Wait a second. Can you carry a tune? He can. He sings in the shower. You hear that? The acoustics are a little weird in this house. And I am sure you have some moves. Okay. All right, everybody. What would I have to do? Oh, I’m sure you’ve heard of magic milo and the magic wands. Uh… is for charity, drew. Come on. The least you can do is give us that shirt off your back.

[ Laughter ] Why do you need to speak to me privately? It’s not like our issues are secret. It’s not about our privacy, carly. It’s about willow’S.

I’m good, boss. I’ll be fine. No argument. It’s an order. Any luck with the phone? Still trying to dig out data. Did lift some prints from it, though. And? The guy’s not from any registry I can access. He was a ghost. What about the weapon? It’s been modified, probably by the shooter. I can tell you the original manufacturer, but there’s no serial numbers. It’s untraceable. What are you thinking? A guy who doesn’t exist, with an untraceable rifle. I’d say you have a very, very powerful enemy. I’ve got the perfect song, and I know exactly who could sing it. Let me grab my phone. Maxie: What about a variety? I could do a magic act this year. So carly and nina are alone in there, and I don’t hear any furniture breaking, but — it might not be long. Now you’re concerned about willow’s privacy. Boy, you sure weren’t concerned at all when you accused willow of having an affair with tj. Oh, god. This, carly, is about her health. Okay, if willow wants you to know about her health, she’ll tell you. That’s just the thing. She has.

[ Knock on door ] Am I interrupting? No, no. Join us. The three of us are privy to willow’s health updates. Okay. Since when? Since I had a conversation with my daughter and she promised to keep me in the loop going forward. I hate to see you doing this to yourself. Because you care about mac? I care about mac. I care about you. Why are you sabotaging yourself? Why do you think you don’t deserve good things? And I’m not talking about fancy jewelry. Some secrets are meant to be kept. Yeah, not this one. I know what you sacrificed. Stop punishing yourself. Mac is a great guy. He’s surrounded by this beautiful family. You have an opportunity here to come out and tell the truth. And have these people, these good people, embrace you and give you a life that you’ve never known. Come on, cody. Come clean, man. Mnh-mnh. Leave it. Sure. I’m a very busy man, chief scorpio. Busy man with a big thirst. Yeah, well, a nightcap isn’t illegal, is it? As long as you don’t intend to drive or harbor a fugitive. And where exactly would I do that? In my suite here at the metro court? It wouldn’t be the first time you gave nikolas safe haven. So what did you do? Smuggle him to some secret island somewhere? Where’s nikolas?

[ Chuckles ] Your guess is as good as mine. Elizabeth baldwin told the pcpd that you cleaned up evidence that nikolas held esme prince hostage. Well, now, that’s just hearsay, isn’t it? I can haul you in for obstruction of justice. Oh, for heaven’s sakes. Can’t a man drink in peace around here? Look, I don’t have a clue where my nephew is. And if you have any more questions, contact my attorney. Laura: Well, I’m back now. And I’ll put it all back together again. And when I have, I’m going to take you apart. It was you. What was me? Yeah, had to be you. Mac deserv

Do the right thing. Maybe saying nothing is the right thing. I know what you’ve done, laura. Really? What have I done? You’re a vindictive — you’re determined to strip me of my power and humiliate me in the process.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. You don’t need me for that. When your life falls apart, and it will, there will be more than me to blame. But you’re the one that will pay most dearly. Mutually assured destruction, mayor collins. You struck the first blow, and now we both have everything to lose. I hate missing the nurses’ ball, too. I really do. But we all have to make sacrifices.

[ Laughs ] But they don’t need you. They need me. Yeah, but they can’t have you, can they?

[ Scoffs ] And that is not really your decision to make. Okay, you can’t risk being seen. Oh, yeah? I can’t risk it? You did. You left here for several hours the other day doing god knows what. Anna’s a professional.

[ Laughs ] Are you forgetting I was an asset, too? I helped, and I was very effective, if you remember. What I remember is that we’re all in this mess because you wouldn’t follow my orders. So you follow my orders now. You sit tight, and you zip it. Hm.

[ Sighs ] I think that went very well. So both carly and nina will be on the planning committee? We’ll be a formidable team. If we survive. If willow gave you an update on her health, why are you asking me how she’s doing? Because willow is sick, and I don’t want to bug her with updates, and I just assumed that she told you that it was fine to fill me in. No, she didn’T. Did you know? What? No, I haven’t spoken to willow at all. But look, we will respect willow’s wishes. I guess if it helps, I can ask her and michael the best way to share information. Anything else?

[ Laughs ] Okay. Once again, your disapproval speaks volumes. Yeah, we all know how dangerous you are with the tiniest bit of information. I’m sorry. I’m dangerous? I’m dangerous? If it was up to you, I’d still be in the dark about my daughter. Okay. Nina, carly is just worried about her family.

[ Laughing ] Oh, please. When have we heard that before? So much for being cordial. You’re right. You’re right. I’m not going to argue with you for the sake of willow. I’m not doing it. But I’ll tell you this. You’re no longer the gatekeeper of information. Okay. And it would serve you well, carly, to have this in the back of your mind. I know a lot more than you think I do. Okay. Okay. I know.

[ Door slams ] My guess is the shooter was contracted by a professional outfit, possibly even an agency. Cia? Wsb? Whoever it is, they’re gonna be very, very sorry.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Liam: I don’t understand how this is happening. Like, we– we– we talked about it and you said you– you weren’t gonna let thomas back on hftf.

Hope: I changed my mind.

Liam: Has he already gotten to you? Like, this is exa– this is the fear, right? This is what I’m afraid of. Like, he always takes advantage.

Hope: Liam, no. It wasn’t like that. This was my decision. And thomas actually said he didn’t wanna come back to the line if it would cost me. And this is good, liam. With thomas on board again, I can save my line, and the best part is that douglas seeing us getting along, he wanted to come back home.

Liam: Look, I’m excited about that part. That’s the best news ever, but what are you telling me, exactly? Is it– is it that– that douglas only wanted to come home because you and thomas are gonna start working together again?

Thomas: What’s that look?

[ Steffy chuckling ]

Steffy: Nothing, just– just seeing you at the office makes me realize how much I missed you.

Thomas: Aw, well, thanks, sis, I– I missed you too, and you know, I’m– I’m just happy. Right now, I’m so happy that hope was willing to give me another chance, especially after what I did to brooke and– and to douglas. I’m just gonna make sure that hope never regrets this decision.

Steffy: I believe you.

Thomas: I just wonder how it’s going with hope. Her telling liam that I’m rejoining the line.

Steffy: Well, my guess, I think liam’s gonna freak out when he hears what hope’s done.

Thomas: Maybe liam will be on board with me coming back and working with hope again.

Steffy: Look at you, mr. Positive.

Thomas: Well, it’s not like the stakes could be higher, you know? I mean, how could he reject me coming back and– and saving hope for the future?

[ Taylor laughing ]

Thomas: Hey, mom.

Steffy: Mom, hey.

Taylor: Hi. I came by hoping I would see this. Ah. I missed seeing my kids back together. I hated seeing you two at odds.

Steffy: Yeah, we didn’t like it either.

Taylor: So, why don’t you look happier?

Thomas: No, and I’m– I am happy. You know? I– I’m just– I’m very glad that everyone is, uh, giving me another chance. I’m just a little concerned about hope’s decision to reinstate me and how that might actually cause problems for her and liam.

Liam: I’m so confused right now. I thought– I thought we agreed, like, right here in this room that thomas coming back to hope for the future was a bad idea. So– so what happened?

Hope: Liam, either thomas returns as lead designer or I lose my line. And you know that hope for the future isn’t just some creative outlet for me. It’s a way I get my message into the world, and I don’t wanna lose that. Not if there was a chance to save it. And like it or not, thomas was that chance.

Liam: No, I know, I– that– but that’s– that’s thomas’s pitch, right? I know that thomas wants you to believe that. I just– I’m trying to understand w– what he did to make you change your mind and let him in again. Again. She found it.

Taylor: Now, I know how badly you wanna help save hope for the future, but what if hope listens to liam and she doesn’t want you to come back?

Thomas: I’ll head home and, you know, figure out what’s next.

Taylor: Good. I like that plan. You learn from it, and move on.

Thomas: Yeah, what I won’t do is I won’t be some kind of issue in hope and liam’s marriage. I mean, I– I– I don’t want hope’s decision to bring me back on to affect that at all. So, if liam has a problem, I will respectfully bow out.

Taylor: Fingers crossed you don’t have to. And–

Douglas: Thanks for lunch, paris. See ya!

Thomas: Hey, bud!

Taylor: Douglas!

Steffy: Hey, I was wondering where you went. Are you enjoying your day off?

Douglas: Paris took me to the cafeteria.

Taylor: Oh, that was nice.

Steffy: I heard the big news. You’re going back to the cabin.

Douglas: I hope you don’t mind. I know it was a big deal choosing to live with you.

Steffy: Hey, we were happy to have you. And know that you are always welcome over.

Douglas: Thanks for letting me stay with you, aunt steffy, and for taking such good care of me.

Steffy: Oh, get over here. Of course. My goodness.

Douglas: Where’s mom?

Thomas: Well, uh, she– she went to tell liam the big news, uh, that you are gonna go back and live with them at the cabin.

Douglas: And about you guys working together again?

Liam: I feel like– like this is deja vu. Like where I tell you that thomas’s track record scares me, I ask you not to let him back into your life again, you agree, but then you– you’re standing here and you’re telling me that you changed your mind again.

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Hope, I– I– I know that hope for the future is struggling and you’re doing everything that you can to save it because th– the– you are the line, and the line is you. I get that. I even get that thomas is a talented designer, and I even get that one of the reasons hope for the future has enjoyed so much success in the past is because of him. But as your husband, my top priority is just your well being. So, how many times does it take? How– how many chances do you have to give thomas before he finally proves to you that he can’t control himself around you.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Thomas hasn’t been inappropriate around me.

Thomas: Are you kidding me? He tried to kiss you at the preview, hope.

Hope: Liam, I told him it wasn’t going to happen, and he respected that.

Liam: Oh.

Hope: He didn’t push that. He let it go. And besides, this is about me not losing hope for the future.

Liam: I really thought you agreed with me that rehiring thomas was too dangerous, so what changed?

Hope: Liam, I am sorry to disappoint you. I am. And believe me, I– I heard everything that you had to say and I took it all into consideration, and–

Liam: You’re still not telling me what changed. Do I already know the answer? Is it just the same answer as it’s always been in the past? He got in your head? Is– is it just that again?

Hope: No. Liam, this was my decision. Look, you’re just– you’re not gonna like what I have to say. You’re not going to like it. I do believe that thomas has changed.

Liam: Hope. Why give your family just any eggs

Douglas: So, is mommy telling liam?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. Yeah, not only that you’re gonna be living there at the cabin with them, but that she and i will be working together again.

Douglas: Will liam get mad? He doesn’t seem to like you very much.

Taylor: I am sorry that you have to deal with that.

Steffy: Liam and hope will figure everything out, okay?

Douglas: Any ideas for new designs?

Thomas: Well, here. I’ve got a few, I think. Um, and, you know, I– I, uh want you to remember something. Even if hope and I, we’re not able to work together, I need you to remember that you are loved. We love you so much and we are always gonna be team douglas. Look, I– I have made some mistakes in the past, but I promise– hey, look right here. I will never, ever do that again, okay?

Liam: You think thomas has changed?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Why?

Hope: I do.

Liam: Why? Why? Because he said so? Again? Like, how many times do you have to hear, “I’m a changed man.” How many times do you have to hear, “I’m sorry?” The– I mean, you– you– you remember him, like, keeping the fact that beth was alive from us for months and how much that hurt you?

Hope: Of course I remember that. I haven’t forgotten that. Thanks.

Liam: Okay, you also remember that, you know, he, like, tried to throw me off a building so he could kidnap you. That is as messed up a sentence as I think I can conceive of, and yet, it’s absolutely true. What about the fact that he kept a mannequin that looked exactly like you in his apartment so that he could live out his sick, twisted fantasies of a life with you? What about all the times that he’s used douglas to manipulate you? Why are we just ignoring this?

Hope: Liam, I am not justifying or defending any of that.

Liam: No, but you– but you are. You are when you say, “oh, I think he’s changed this time.”

Hope: Liam, what I do believe is that there’s good in everyone. Even thomas. And yes, he has messed up, but what matters is that he’s willing to–

Liam: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, m– no, not messed up. I have messed up, right? I’m the king of messing up. What thomas does is not messing up. Thomas has been fixated on you for years and it festers and it festers and it festers and when it finally doesn’t work, when you turn him down, he gets dangerous. He starts to do things that actually hurt people, okay? So, this– this is why I’m asking you how you can let this happen again. I am asking you how you can let him in to your life again. And I’m not just asking for me, I’m asking for the sake of your well-being, and I am asking for the safety of our family. How? (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

Taylor: You know something? Not too long ago, thomas wouldn’t have even admitted that he needed therapy, but– but look at him now. Not only is he seeing someone, he is doing the work.

Steffy: Yeah, thomas really does wanna be a better man. To be worthy of the blessings he’s been given. Especially douglas.

Taylor: Douglas is such a wonderful little boy.

Steffy: He really is. And it was so amazing when he was spending time us, but…

Taylor: But?

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I worry. I worry about douglas spending so much time solving adult problems. That’s why he came to live with us in the first place. He knew that there was tension between hope and thomas and he removed himself. But now that hope and thomas are working together again–

Taylor: Douglas feels like his job is done.

Steffy: Exactly.

Taylor: You know what, we’ll– we’ll keep an eye on it, okay? I– douglas should be focused on– on being a kid right now and not healing family drama, that’s– that’s too much for any child to take on. Just, um, we’ll see where it goes from here, okay? Honestly, I– I have faith in thomas. He is dedicated to being the best father to douglas.

Steffy: I agree. I really think that douglas can come out to be the big winner in this. As long as thomas’s obsession with hope is in the past.

Taylor: I don’t feel concerned about that anymore. I– I don’T. What I do feel is complete pride in my son.

Thomas: So, you excited to be moving back to mom’s?

Douglas: Yeah. It was fun living at aunt steffy’s though.

Thomas: It’s nice having the beach in your backyard, huh?

Douglas: And lots of cool takeout and delivery.

Thomas: Yeah, my sis is a lot of things, but a good cook? Not one of ’em.

Douglas: Finn is definitely better.

Thomas: You like him, huh?

Douglas: He’s the best, but no one is as cool as you, dad.

Thomas: That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Right back at ya.

Douglas: Are you excited about working with mommy again?

Thomas: Uh, yeah. Yeah, I can’t wait to get started.

Douglas: She needs your help.

Thomas: What do you know about that?

Douglas: I hear stuff. Hope for the future’s in trouble, and it needs you and mommy working together to fix it.

Thomas: Well, I am excited to get back to work and do that.

Douglas: I wish you could be together all the time.

Thomas: Are you, uh, conveniently forgetting about mommy’s marriage to liam?

Douglas: I know.

Thomas: Hey, we have to respect that. Always.

Douglas: I do, but I still hope that someday, I can live with you and mommy and we can be a real family.

Thomas: Come here, bud.

Hope: I hear everything you’re saying, liam, but respectfully, this time, I don’t agree. Thomas lost everything. He lost his job, he lost his family, he lost douglas. And in that time alone, he reevaluated, he sought professional help, he actually has apologized to my mother and he understands that that fake phone call to cps was not okay, and he regrets it.

Liam: As he always does.

Hope: This time is different, liam. It is. I believe that. And– and you’re forgetting the most important part, which is that we are setting a good example for douglas. Douglas is going to get to see his two parents working alongside each other and getting along. And I know I said I wouldn’t rehire thomas, and I am so– I am so sorry to go back on my word, but liam, I am not going to sacrifice my career over this. I am not. So, while I am so thankful for you looking out for me, and you caring for me, I also need you to trust me because I have put thomas on notice. I let him know that I– if I even see a glint of the old him, he’s gone. But I really don’t think it’s going to come to that because he has made progress. There are steps–

Liam: I feel like we’re talking past each other, though, so can I– can I just take a go at this? Can I– can– can you listen to me for one second–

Hope: Liam, I need you to listen to me. I understand your concerns. And I never– I just– I don’t want this to become an issue in our relationship because our marriage and our family means so much to me. But so does my job. So, please, when I say that this felt like the only option and I think it’s a good thing for douglas, and I just, like, I don’t know how many times I can tell you I can look out for myself. I will be vigilant. And if I– if he even tries anything, it’s done! It ends there. So, can you just accept this decision? My decision.

Liam: Yeah, I think– I think it’s clear that you’ve– you’ve made it, um, and he’s– he is coming back, so, yeah.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah.

Liam: Hey, you know I love you more than anything, right? I just want you to have everything you need. And um, I’m scared. That’s all. I’m scared. But I’m not gonna let thomas be the thing that comes between us and our life together. I won’t– I won’t do it, okay?

Hope: Thank you. Thank you so much, liam. Thank you for understanding.

Days Update Monday, March 13, 2023

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Gwen goes to the Bistro and starts drinking. Alex arrives and asks if she had a bad day. Gwen calls it the worst. Alex tells her to join the club as he sits at her table. Gwen points out that she didn’t invite him to sit there and questions why he is here. Alex responds that members of the bad day club have to stick together. Gwen supposes she can’t argue with that. Alex and Gwen officially introduce themselves. Gwen comments that they have so many people in common already. Alex asks who put her in such a rotten mood. Gwen responds that it was his rotten cousin, Xander.

At the Titan office, Maggie tells Xander that she’s sorry his talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Maggie asks if it was bad business wise or relationship wise. Xander says it was both and he made Gwen so angry that he doesn’t think there’s any relationship left.

Johnny guesses he will have to confront EJ because you can’t do something that underhanded and expect to get away with it. Tripp then comes home and asks if Johnny means like what he just did to him. Johnny questions where his anger is coming from. Wendy says she doesn’t get it either and asks what Tripp thinks Johnny did to him. Tripp responds that he knows exactly what Johnny did and he can’t dodge this one, because he has the receipts.

Li and Gabi sit together for dinner. Li asks if she had fun at the Van Gogh exhibit. Gabi responds that she’s not going to complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings up close. Li compliments her until Gabi asks if they are really going to keep doing this. Li reminds her that going to the exhibit was her idea after he found her with Stefan, so he thought she was making amends. Gabi says she was making the best of a situation and didn’t know dinner was going to be a part of it. Li asks what’s wrong with dinner. Gabi claims she’s not hungry. Li insists that she loves the steak here. Gabi questions if he thinks she’ll just let go of Stefan and love him again at the end of their six months deal. Li says that’s right but points out that things can happen a lot sooner than that.

EJ, Nicole, Stefan, and Wei Shin toast their drinks. EJ thinks back to switching he and Stefan’s drinks after Stefan drugged his. Stefan then thinks back to switching he and EJ’s drinks back. EJ remarks that this feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Stefan comments that he couldn’t have said it better himself.

Alex hopes Gwen doesn’t hold it against him that he and Xander are related even though blood is the only bond they have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. Gwen doesn’t want to talk about that. Gwen adds that Xander’s actual crimes are the least of her issues with him. Gwen states that Xander tried to be good in his own way. Xander asks if she tried to be good too and how that’s working out for her. Gwen asks what he thinks. Alex says it seems to him that in a weird way, she and Xander are a pretty damn good match. Gwen responds that it’s not the match that Xander wants despite the fact that Sarah wants nothing to do with him, Xander will never stop loving her.

Xander tells Maggie that he realized he was leading Gwen on which he didn’t want to do. Xander really thought that once he saw the final divorce decree, he would finally accept that he and Sarah are over for good. Maggie doesn’t think it works that way. Xander confirms that his feelings didn’t miraculously disappear, so he can’t lie to Gwen about that even if Sarah hates him. Maggie encourages that Sarah doesn’t hate him, she’s just done with him. Maggie warns Xander to get over Sarah or he could end up alone.

Gabi complains that Li needs to listen when people tell him things as she repeats she doesn’t love him, noting that he keeps saying he’s going to win her back and is starting to sound delusional. Li calls it being hopeful while Gabi calls it a pipe dream and a chore. Li suggests she look at it like the quality time they are spending is him doing her a favor since the more time she spends with him, the less time she spends fighting her temptation to be with Stefan. Li reminds Gabi that if she caves, she loses out on all his DiMera shares. Li questions if one night of nostalgia with Stefan is really worth that.

Stefan talks to Wei about finding a new start up company in South Africa that is hungry for investors. EJ says he must have missed the memo on this. Stefan says he was going to brief him in the morning. Nicole guesses it was a misunderstanding. Stefan remarks that he’s sure EJ was caught off guard, just like he was caught off guard by Wei joining them for dinner tonight so now they are even. EJ decides to go check on dinner and invites Nicole to join him since she had a request for the chef. EJ and Nicole step out and complain about Stefan trying to win Wei Shin’s favor. EJ points out Stefan saying they were even and says they only will be after the drugs kick in and Stefan starts making a fool of himself which Nicole says should be any minute now.

Back in the living room, Wei praises Stefan for his work on the start up company in South Africa and says that he seems to be on top of things. Stefan notes that he sounds surprised. Wei reveals that he had a conversation earlier with EJ, who worried that Stefan was still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put him through. Stefan says he appreciates EJ’s concern but assures that he’s perfectly fine…

Alex and Gwen drink shots. Alex suggests maybe Xander will come around. Gwen says she has told herself that so many times. Alex comments that feelings are weird and sometimes they can take a little while to sort out. Gwen informs Alex that Xander said once he sees the divorce decree, reality would set in. Alex guesses that’s not what happened. Gwen says reality set in for her, not him. Alex asks if Xander told her that he doesn’t want to be with her. Gwen responds that Xander said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get over her. Alex tells her that he’s sorry to hear. Gwen adds that the worst part is that Xander was trying not to hurt her by saying it’s not fair to lead her on while still have feelings for Sarah. Alex guesses that’s honorable but Gwen disagrees and argues that she’s the best thing to ever happen to Xander and he’ll never know. Gwen starts calling for another refill but Alex decides the next round is on him. Gwen says she’s been going on about herself and hasn’t even asked why Alex is here and so miserable. Gwen guesses it has to do with a lady. Alex confirms he did ruin things with the best thing he ever had in his life but says that’s not the reason he’s here tonight. Alex declares that he’s here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Xander asks why he’s telling Sarah’s mother all of this. Maggie suggests maybe he expects her to get in touch with Sarah and let her know that he still loves her. Xander says no unless she wants to. Maggie reminds him that she wished they worked it out, but she learned her lesson. Maggie says she made her feelings clear to Sarah but she’s going to stay out of it. Xander understands he’s lost Sarah and has driven Gwen away. Xander remarks that it seems he can’t help but hurt the women in his life. Maggie says there seems to be a lot of that going around..

Wendy questions what this is about. Johnny is sure it’s nothing. Tripp explains that Johnny came asking for his help with some lab results for EJ but he couldn’t help him, so Johnny stole his ID, impersonated him, and stole the results from the lab. Wendy questions that being how Johnny got those results. Tripp complains that Johnny put his reputation on the line all because he and his family think they are always above the rules.

Stefan comments on knowing how much Wei admired Stefano. Wei talks about his drive being unmatched and never letting anyone get the best of him. Stefan says that’s why he’s trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. On the other side of the room, EJ complains to Nicole about Stefan trying to impress Wei. EJ remarks that Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon. EJ decides they will go join them to see how things are progressing. EJ stumbles. Nicole tells EJ good job on making Stefan thinking he’s drugged but suggests toning it down a little. EJ then asks if it’s a little warm in the room as Stefan watches on. Wei is glad EJ threw this dinner party as he gave him a chance to emphasize the importance of raising their stock price. Nicole assures that it’s all EJ is thinking about. Stefan adds that EJ is doing everything in his power that no mistakes happen again. Nicole adds that EJ is using this opportunity to make changes within this company. Stefan says he’s produced a new program to teach all employees media strategy and he’s sure EJ is on board. EJ tries to speak but Stefan says he’s not finished. Stefan talks about being sure that the culture is going to change. EJ yells at Stefan to stop talking and says that Wei heard him the first time, remarking that he’s old, not deaf.

Maggie asks if Xander distancing himself from Gwen means he’s quitting the Spectator. Xander says Gwen doesn’t want him there. Maggie reminds him that he owns half of it. Xander admits that it’s Gwen’s legacy, not his. Maggie points out that means he’s unemployed again. Xander assures that he’ll find a legal way. Maggie then suggests Xander take over for Alex at Titan and says she wouldn’t complain.

Alex informs Gwen that Maggie got the job that he was expecting at Titan. Gwen asks if he has a problem answering to strong women. Alex responds that he loves strong women so gender is not the problem, but that job should be his and he should be on the cover of the Spectator with his plans for the company. Gwen asks why isn’t it him then. Alex explains that Victor got wind of some gossip about his extra curricular activities which Gwen laughs at. Gwen admits that she is the new lead at the Spectator and Leo is her gossip columnist. Gwen asks what the big deal is since Alex is handsome, charming, and rich, so why shouldn’t have a romp with two beautiful and willing women. Alex likes the way she thinks but says Victor is old school. Gwen questions if Maggie is really best for the job and if Victor thinks she’s CEO material. Alex thanks her and is excited that someone else sees his point. Gwen thinks he will have to follow Maggie’s orders to get what he wants. Gwen tells him not to cause trouble and he gets to live a fabulous life. Alex wishes he was told that yesterday.

Wendy brings up that Johnny just said he has his ways when she asked how he got the test results. Tripp accuses him of identity theft. Wendy asks Johnny about it. Tripp says they don’t have to believe him, they can just call the lab director who called him, looking for his lost badge. Wendy asks what he said. Tripp explains that he figured out someone unauthorized got those reports. Wendy asks if Johnny is going to say something. Johnny then admits he used Tripp’s badge to get the results. Tripp reminds him that it’s illegal. Johnny argues that they needed answers because he and Wendy are trying to help someone. Tripp asks if he’s actually throwing Wendy under the bus. Wendy questions why Johnny lied to her about how he got the results. Tripp declares that Johnny knew how she would react and he’s too much of a coward to be honest.

Li recalls he and Gabi’s last dinner where they ordered the most expensive bottle of wine. Li remembers it as one of the best nights of his life and says he never felt closer to anyone. Li can tell Gabi remembers too. Gabi stops him and says she knows what he’s trying to do. Li asks if it’s working.

EJ apologizes to Wei for his outburst and blames himself for what happened to the stock. Wei understands it’s frustrating. Nicole encourages that the frustration will be gone once he gets the price up. EJ says dinner should be ready and suggests they eat. Wei and Stefan head to the kitchen. Nicole talks to EJ about how he’s supposed to pretend to be impaired, not insult Wei Shin. EJ says he didn’t mean to say that and he doesn’t know what happened, just Stefan got under his skin. Nicole notes that EJ looks sweaty. EJ says it’s warm in here but Nicole says it’s not. Nicole asks if he’s sure he switched the correct drinks with Stefan because Stefan is acting fine while EJ seems off. EJ insists he’s fine and that the drugs will kick in on Stefan soon so they are going to dinner where Stefan will prove he’s unfit by going face first in to his soup so they head to the kitchen.

Xander questions Maggie about Alex undercutting her authority and still having a job. Maggie says she let him off with a warning since he was only being passionate about something he believes in. Alex argues that she can’t have insubordination in her ranks. Maggie admits that she didn’t want to become CEO and fire the only other Kiriakis in the company on her first day. Maggie wishes she had a Kiriakis she could count on…

Alex tells Gwen that he wasn’t just going to let Maggie shut the door on Bella so he took his concerns to Victor. Gwen goes over that Alex went behind his boss’s back to her husband. Alex guesses he’s not a team player. Gwen can’t find one person in his family who is and says they all go after what they want, consequences be damned. Alex asks how Gwen was raised. Gwen responds that she mostly raised herself but it doesn’t seem like either of them have gotten what they want. Alex and Gwen toast to misery as they drink another shot. Alex then asks if Gwen wants to get out of here.

Johnny apologizes for getting Tripp in trouble but says that he gave him no choice since he asked for help but he didn’t want to give it to him, so he borrowed his badge for ten minutes. Wendy argues that he stole it. Johnny asks if Wendy thinks what EJ is doing to Stefan is okay then. Wendy argues that both are wrong and adds that Johnny knew this was wrong, or he wouldn’t have kept it from her. Wendy tells Johnny to go and questions what they have if she can’t trust him. Johnny says he’ll text her tomorrow when she’s had time to think about this and understands. Johnny then exits the apartment. Tripp apologizes to Wendy and asks if she’s okay. Wendy responds that Allie warned her about how impulsive and selfish Johnny could be and guesses she’s still trying to learn what that means.

EJ, Nicole, Stefan, and Wei return to the living room after dinner. Stefan offers to get everyone coffee and drugs EJ’s cup. As Stefan talks to Wei, EJ switches he and Stefan’s cups. Afterwards, as EJ and Nicole talk to Wei, Stefan switches the cups back. EJ suggests Stefan show Wei the sculpture he purchased at an auction. Stefan notes that their father actually owned it in the 60s. After Stefan and Wei leave the room, Nicole asks if EJ drugged him again. EJ suggests maybe he didn’t get enough in the first drink, but this time he’s going down..

Gabi calls Li’s flirting shameless. Li says he was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with her and hoping she would forget about Stefan. Gabi admires his persistence. Li asks what else she admires about him. Gabi then calls for the check but Li says they can’t leave yet since he pre-ordered dessert. Gabi says they can get it to go, so Li asks if she just wants to go back home like last time.

Tripp apologizes to Wendy for being hard on Johnny. Wendy says that Johnny had it coming and Tripp had every right to be pissed. Tripp complains that it was his first day back at the hospital and he wanted everything to be perfect. Tripp felt it was his responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory. Wendy is sure she would be proud. Tripp knows he’ll never be as good of a doctor as Kayla was but it’s important to him to not stain her reputation or disappoint Steve while he’s still grieving. Wendy insists that he did nothing wrong today so Tripp thanks her. Wendy says she’s really sorry that Johnny put him in this position. Wendy adds that if she knew what he was going to do, she would’ve stopped him.

Stefan and Wei return to the living room. EJ suggests Stefan share numbers for the South Africa project with Wei. Stefan asks if he’s sure he wants him to do that now. EJ asks why not. Johnny then comes home. EJ over excitedly greets Johnny and begins introducing him to Wei, while Nicole tries to ask if they can talk. EJ talks up Wei to Johnny and brings up the Devil possession. Nicole interrupts and says there’s been a mistake so they need to talk. EJ remarks that the only mistake he sees is two CEOs. Johnny asks if EJ is alright. Stefan tells EJ that he doesn’t know what’s going on but he needs to go lie down before he embarrasses himself any further. EJ asks Stefan who he thinks he is. Stefan says that EJ is clearly messed up, so EJ shoves him to the shock of Wei, Nicole, and Johnny. EJ says that was clearly not supposed to happen. Nicole says that EJ didn’t sleep much and was up all night working. EJ whispers to Nicole that he knows he switched it. Nicole says that EJ just needs to freshen up and takes him out of the room. Johnny follows them out. Stefan apologizes to Wei for EJ’s behavior and claims he has no idea what’s going on.

Tripp and Wendy get close until Li and Gabi come home. Li asks if they were interrupting something. Wendy says no and they were just talking, then asks where they were. Gabi says they brought dinner. Wendy goes to help get it ready while Tripp sits with Li. Li tries to convince Tripp to take the couch so he can take his room but Wendy says he’s not interested. Tripp says if the living situation is too much, he can always go back to his dad’s, but Wendy says she loves having him here so her brother is just going to have to get used to the couch.

Xander comments that it seems Maggie is wrestling with an impossible question as to rely on the Kiriakis who lied to her about going behind her back to her husband or rely on the Kiriakis who lied to her daughter after his ill-fated kidnapping scheme. Maggie says that’s why she’s the CEO, getting paid to make those tough calls. Maggie says most people would think it’s an easy call since Alex may not be the most reliable, but he’s not a felon. Xander points out that she’s not most people. Maggie agrees that she’s not and actually thinks Xander did a pretty good job when he was in charge a few years ago. Xander says it’s fun to imagine them taking on the corporate world and defying expectations, but they both know Victor wouldn’t sign off on it. Maggie declares that she is the CEO, so Victor doesn’t get a say about Alex or Xander.

Gwen brings Alex home to her room at the Salem Inn. Alex questions her living here with Leo Stark and complains that Leo cost him his job at Titan. Gwen jokes that it’s a good thing Leo isn’t home then. Gwen brings up that they came here for a night cap so she pours them drinks. Alex asks if that’s the only thing they came for.

Nicole and Johnny help EJ to his bedroom as EJ says this doesn’t make sense what is happening to him. Nicole doesn’t know how but says Stefan must have switched the drinks. EJ questions how and why. EJ guesses this was Stefan’s plan all along but asks how he figured it out. Johnny realizes this might be his fault which Nicole questions. Johnny argues that they said Stefan was on drugs and that didn’t sit right with him, so he got his hands on the test results from the vial and he thought they were drugging Stefan. EJ questions if he told him. Johnny says he didn’t say it was him. EJ worries that he’s now ruined as he falls back on to his bed.

Wei brings up that EJ warned him that Stefan was still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put him through, but clearly EJ is the one they should be worried about. Stefan appreciates his concern but says EJ is resilient. Wei tells him that he has no obligation to defend family members as their obligation is to the shareholders. Stefan agrees and says sometimes he’s too loyal for his own good. Stefan then tells Wei that he has been worried about EJ ever since the death of his mother. Wei says clearly his worries have been justified. Stefan asks what he can do since they are equals. Wei says perhaps not for long.

Tripp and Wendy step outside while Gabi strips down to her nightgown which takes Li’s breath away. Li calls the outfit incredible. Gabi responds that it’s not for him, but for six months from now when she can finally sleep with the man she loves. Li guesses this is her torturing him then. Gabi says it’s because he tortured her. Li says it was just an incredible meal. Gabi says she’ll just go to her bed all alone where she will dream all about Stefan. Gabi tells Li to have a good night on the couch and heads to her room.

Xander asks if Victor can’t stop Maggie from bringing him in to replace Alex. Xander then jokes that now she’d just have to go down the list of the other four thousand reasons it’d be a terrible idea for her to do that. Maggie says she’ll get to work on that right away but she needs to go home. Xander says he just needs to send a quick text so Maggie says she’ll meet him in the hallway. Xander thanks her for listening to his stupid mistakes and standing by him anyways. Xander calls her a very loyal person. Maggie says who knows, maybe she’ll be asking for that loyalty in return pretty soon. Maggie then exits the office. Xander texts Gwen that he’s sorry about today and hopes she’s doing alright.

Alex moves towards Gwen but she steps back and suggests they just enjoy that drink. Alex says you can’t blame a guy for trying. Gwen then gets Xander’s text. Gwen then agrees with Alex, who asks if she’s okay. Gwen says she’s not okay and suggests changing that. Gwen then rips Alex’s shirt open and begins kissing him. Gwen removes Alex’s shirt fully as they continue kissing.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Audra: Hey.

Victoria: Hello. Um, I was looking for nate. I have some follow-up notes about something we discussed earlier. Do you happen to know where he went?

Audra: Uh, he ran out not too long ago. He was, uh, running late for some couple’s time he and elena had planned. You know, nate is such a sweet guy, right? He’s always working hard to balance his career with romance.

[ Sighs ] If only all men could be like him, right? In my book, that man’s a keeper. Elena is such a lucky woman.

Nate: Hey. Sorry I am late. My meeting with victoria ran long, but it was worth it. Totally exhilarating. I’m talking, even when we’re on opposite sides of an issue, somehow we still inspire each other. The synergy between us is unreal.

Elena: “Unreal.” That’s how you describe your relationship with your boss?

Nate: Of course. We have much more than an employer/employee relationship.

Elena: How much more? Look, nate, I’m glad that you’re enjoying your work, but tell me, what’s going on with you and victoria?

Kyle: There you are. I was worried when you didn’t come back to the office. Look at you. Even with the weight of the world on your shoulders, you still somehow manage to look as lovely as ever.

Summer: Must be all the jabot products.

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,

Kyle: Mm-hmm, her focus is back on my mother.

Summer: Yeah.

Jack: That must be a very good page.

Diane: What’s that?

Jack: You’ve been on that same page for 20 minutes.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry, jack. I’m just… I’m having a hard time focusing. I have this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that something’s wrong. I mean, we’re here, relaxing in the cabin, safe and sound, but back home, there’s a storm coming.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Amazing. Diane and jack went to all that trouble to convince us they went on some extravagant world tour, but they never left wisconsin?

Phyllis: They’re in a little rustic cabin in the woods just up the highway.

Jeremy: Did they really think they could get away with this? Oh, that’s so brazen. Well, if nothing else, they’re quite clever.

Phyllis: They think they’re clever.

Jeremy: Yeah, they also think they’re untouchable. It’s time to prove them wrong. Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

provided by…

Phyllis: Alright, we can’t rush into this. We got to make sure all our angles are covered. There’s no room for failure. You know that, right?

Jeremy: Okay, I’ve thought through every detail. It’s a point of pride for me.

Phyllis: I understand that, but I have a lot more to lose than you do.

Jeremy: Well, it sounds like you’ve been thinking about this, so I’m sure you have some suggestions.

Phyllis: I do. But I need you to know something. When I’m in, I’m in 100%. There’s nobody in this town that is more resourceful than I am in getting what they want. Do you get that?

Jeremy: Oh, that’s good to hear. So what do we do first?

Phyllis: Your plan is good. I think it’s very solid. But this is the thing. This is the abbott cabin that they’re staying at. They know everything about it. They know the whole lay of the land up there.

Jeremy: Okay, so you’re saying we need to even the playing field?

Phyllis: I’m saying we need to lure them back here.

Jeremy: Well, if you want them back, there are plenty of things I can do to get them back here.

Phyllis: I know that, but i want to be very clear on this. Very, very clear. My family can’t get hurt. My daughter, kyle, harrison, they can’t be used as pawns.

Jeremy: Okay, so how are we going to get them to come back to town?

Phyllis: We make them think that the dangerous element has disappeared. We basically do the same thing to them that they did to you, but we do it better. We do it much better.

Nate: What’s going on between me and victoria? What are you talking about? Where is this coming from?

Elena: I ran into audra at crimson lights, and what started off as casual conversation turned into something rather enlightening.

Nate: Okay, enlighten me. What did she have to say?

Elena: Audra noticed an interesting dynamic developing between you and victoria, something that crosses the boundaries of a normal employee/employer relationship. You know, more personal than professional?

Nate: No, I don’t know.

Elena: I haven’t accused you of anything, nate, but I need you to be straight with me.

Nate: Always. Look, trust me, the only thing that’s going on between me and victoria is business. She’s my boss, and I admire her, the way her mind works, her business acumen. Look, I am learning a lot from her, and I won’t deny that we work well together, okay? She encourages me to grow and expand. Nothing, and I mean nothing like the way I was stifled and dismissed at chancellor-winters. I don’t understand why we have to go through this again. I thought you understood my relationship with victoria, and, honestly, I thought you appreciated it.

Victoria: You know, I have to agree with you. Elena is very fortunate to have a man like nate in her life, but I feel like I’m very lucky to have him as an employee. And you’re lucky, too, aren’t you?

Audra: I am, yes.

Victoria: You know, your instincts were correct about tucker. I paid a visit to devon, and he all but confirmed tucker offering mccall to him.

Audra: I know the man quite well.

Victoria: That’s exactly what I’m counting on. I need you to let me know what you think his next move might be.

Audra: Well, if my instincts are on point, when tucker doesn’t get his way, he either fights harder, gets angry, or moves on to something else. It all just depends on his mood at the time.

Victoria: So it’s possible that he could get fed up with devon if his offer isn’t getting the kind of traction that he’s looking for.

Audra: Yeah, his attention span lasts as long as his desire for something and his certainty he can get it. So he could very well get tired of waiting for devon.

Victoria: Alright. So then we push him in that direction. We find something to distract him, something with a big payoff. We draw his focus away from devon, so maybe he’ll forget about that plan, and then newman will be right there to make the deal.

Jack: Talk to me. What brought this on?

Diane: Thank you. I — I don’t want to ruin our time here together.

Jack: You’re not ruining anything. I could see something was on your mind. I wanted to give you the space to work through it on your own.

Diane: Well, I appreciate that. Jack, it’s been lovely here with you, it’s been peaceful, it’s been really romantic, but something happened today.

Jack: What?

Diane: Well, while you were out, a strange call came in on the landline, and it has me rattled.

Jack: Who was it? What did they say?

Diane: Well, that’s just it. By the time I answered it, no one was there. I can’t stop thinking it was jeremy.

Jack: There’s no way stark would know we are here.

Diane: Yeah, but what if he found us and he’s heard my voice and he’s on his way here? Or — or worse yet, what if he’s using our family as some sort of leverage?

Jack: Okay, you are letting your fear and imagination run wild. Wrong numbers, bad connections, hang-ups — that happens all the time.

Diane: I realize that. But there’s a possibility that jeremy got some information and pieced it together. The first thing he’d do is to call to see if I’d answer.

Jack: That’s a pretty long shot, diane.

Diane: Well, maybe, maybe not. But if he knows we’re here, then he knows that we’re not home to protect our family. Jack, we have left our family just sitting in the cross hairs.

Kyle: Did phyllis say something specific about going after my mom?

Summer: Nothing specific, no, but she seemed really interested in diane and jack.

Kyle: How so?

Summer: [ Sighs ] Well, it started with her saying that she bought a present for harrison.

Kyle: Okay. Nothing wrong with that. Unless she’s trying to find her way in through an innocent child.

Summer: Exactly. So she said she wanted to bring the gift by the house, but that jack and diane wouldn’t want to see her there. And then she asked all of these questions like, “are they home? Where are they? How long are they going to be gone for?” All these questions that had nothing to do with harrison and were none of her business.

Kyle: Could that just be phyllis being nosy. That would be in character, wouldn’t it?

Summer: I guess.

Kyle: Isn’t it possible that she’s just digging because she always likes to be in the loop?

Summer: It’s possible, but, kyle, we need to be vigilant. We’re in a dangerous situation with stark, and my mom is acting suspicious. I don’t know. Just something doesn’t sit right with me.

Phyllis: Oh, good. There you are.

Summer: Mom, it’s really not a good time.

Phyllis: It’s very, very important.

Summer: We’re not going to tell you where jack and diane are, so please just stop trying.

Phyllis: Listen, listen, i know you don’t want to talk to me. You don’t want to be seen with me. I get it. I get it. But I wouldn’t be trying to track you down if it wasn’t completely necessary.

Summer: What’s completely necessary that you need to talk to us about?

Phyllis: It’s about jeremy stark. He’s on his way right now to paris to find jack and diane, and this time — this time, he thinks he will absolutely find them.

Summer: What?

Kyle: But how is it you know this? (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Phyllis: Listen, um, I don’t blame you for asking me that. I don’t blame you at all. I’m going to be 100% honest with you two. Okay? Really. Ever since jeremy stark got into town, he has been hounding me. I mean, almost obsessed with me, asking me to team up with him to exact revenge on diane.

Summer: Are you serious?

Phyllis: Yes. Yes. 100% serious. I flat out told him no, but it’s the truth.

Kyle: Why are we just finding out about this now?

Phyllis: Well, I didn’t think you’d believe me if I told you that. See? I didn’t think you’d believe me, or you’d think that I was painting myself out to be a saint. I mean, it was lose/lose for me.

Summer: What about now? What’s changed?

Phyllis: Well, this is a very, very real threat. Guys, jeremy stark isn’t just talking about revenge on diane. He’s not just talking about hurting them. He’s actually flying to europe to find them. He is dangerous. If you don’t know that for yourself, at least know it for jack and diane.

Kyle: Excuse me. I need to go make a phone call. Damn it. I forgot my phone again.

Phyllis: Looking for this?

Kyle: Right. Thanks.

Elena: I don’t want to fight with you about this. I probably shouldn’t have even agreed to meet with you for drinks tonight. I’m sorry.

Nate: No, no. No need for apologies.

Elena: It’s just, after we fought so hard to get back to a good place, the last thing I want to do is create tension between us again. We cannot go back to that horrible dark space we were in.

Nate: I promise you, we are not going back there.

Elena: I don’t know. Maybe I’m just looking for trouble where it doesn’t exist.

Nate: I understand. Trust me.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] It’s not like you and victoria are having an affair.

Nate: Exactly. Look, you have nothing to worry about when it comes to my professional relationships. I’m all yours. I love you. And only you. And, look, if you ever feel too tired to go out again after work, all you have to do is just say so, okay? We can just go home, spend time together, just us.

Elena: That is exactly where I want to be, cuddled up in bed with you.

Nate: Come here.

[ Sighs ] Let’s get you home.

Victoria: Thank you. Okay, good night.

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?

Jack: Diane, your family is fine. The security team is on full-time duty and maximum alert.

Diane: You say that, but is it enough?

Jack: Your family is safe. Okay, try to remember why we came here in the first place, to give ourselves some time to think clearly, not to avoid physical threat. We needed to remove ourselves from jeremy’s psychological warfare. But it seems that being this far away from our family has created its own problems.

Diane: Yes, because I don’t feel any safer, jack, or any less agitated.

Jack: I know that. I understand. We played right into jeremy stark’s hands. We inflicted this on ourselves.

Diane: Maybe we should just go home. That way, we can lay eyes on the people that matter most to us instead of relying on some security agency.

Jack: You know if I felt for one moment anyone was not safe, I would be home in a flash.

Diane: Jack, please.

Jack: But if it gives you peace of mind —

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s kyle. When cold symptoms keep you up,

Victoria: Of course we’re talking about devon and tucker. My plan is to get them each on separate paths. What exactly did you think I meant?

Audra: Oh, I wasn’t sure.

Victoria: We’re discussing a specific business strategy, audra. So if you’re reading something into this, then —

Audra: I-I don’t know what i would read into. What you said was perfectly clear. If two people in any kind of relationship get split apart by a third person, it’s not the third person’s fault. It just wasn’t meant to be.

Victoria: That’s exactly what I meant. And that’s what we’re going to do to devon and tucker.

Audra: I’ll let nate know you stopped by.

Jack: I did not see that coming. Thanks, kyle. Yeah, I love you, too, son. Talk soon.

Diane: Is everything okay? Has — has jeremy made threats? Is harrison safe?

Jack: No, everything’s fine. Kyle just called with some interesting information. Apparently, stark left town for europe in hot pursuit of us.

Diane: What? Why? I — I don’t believe that.

Jack: Uh-huh, I didn’t believe it, either, except kyle called his friend at the airport and verified stark did indeed charter a flight to paris. It left earlier today.

Diane: So he’s gone?

Jack: Well, let’s not throw caution to the wind. I mean, why would he think we were in paris? This could all be a trick, very much like the one we pulled on him earlier.

Diane: Exactly. And it’s just like jeremy to pull something like that.

Jack: Listen, you were — you were talking about how you wanted to come out of hiding and go home. Maybe it’s time we do that — cautiously.

Diane: Thank you. Oh. What do we do about this? Do we tell people about our engagement?

Jack: Absolutely.

Diane: Really? Who? Who do we tell?

Jack: The whole world, my love. The whole world.

Diane: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Summer: I really hope what you’re saying about stark is true.

Phyllis: It is. I have no reason to lie. I mean, despite what you might think, I don’t want to see diane and jack hurt, okay? I have my priorities straight.

Summer: What are they?

Phyllis: You, summer. My priority is you. It always has been you. It absolutely kills me that you can’t see that.

Summer: Sorry. It’s a little hard to have any sympathy for you, mom, because you’ve given me so many reasons to not put any faith in what you say.

Phyllis: Okay.

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Okay. Trust me, I’m working very, very hard to change this.

Summer: I really hope that everything that you’re saying is true. ‘Cause I want to believe in you. I-I do miss you.

Phyllis: I miss you, too.

Summer: But if missing you is the price I have to pay to not be disappointed by you again, so be it.

Victoria: Oh. Elena, I’m really surprised to see you here. Well, last I heard, you and nate were going to be enjoying a couple’s night out.

Elena: Yeah, that was the plan, but after a long day at the hospital, I needed some rest, and then I decided i needed some of sharon’s tea. So here I am. I wouldn’t be surprised if nate snuck off to the office.

Victoria: Oh, yes, that sounds like nate.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, please, put your drink on my tab.

Elena: Oh, thanks, but that’s not necessary.

Victoria: No, I insist. I mean, really, it’s an apology for all of the late nights that I have kept nate at the office.

Elena: So how is he doing at newman?

Victoria: He couldn’t be better. I mean, working with him is like a total dream. He’s collaborative, creative, respectful. He’s very strong and determined. You know, working together with him is really perfect because we’re — we’re very in tune.

Elena: That is quite an endorsement.

Victoria: Maybe that’s why none of the other newman media ceos have worked out, because maybe — maybe this job was meant for nate.

Elena: Maybe.

Victoria: You know, honestly, I think that if he keeps this up and if he sticks with me, I can see even bigger and better things in his future.

Elena: Hm. Cleaning is the worst.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I get bladder leaks.

Kyle: Hey.

Summer: Were you able to reach jack?

Kyle: I was. I also checked to see if stark chartered a flight to paris. He did. Left not too long ago.

Summer: So my mom was telling the truth?

Kyle: It appears that way. I think my parents are going to come back to genoa city. What? Are you still unsure about the whole thing?

Summer: I don’t know. I mean, my mom had your phone. It’s suspicious.

Kyle: Yeah, I’m always forgetting my phone, leaving it places. Besides, I don’t know what she could get from it. It’s password-protected.

Summer: I know. It’s just… why would jeremy think your parents were in paris, anyway? What evidence does he have for that? And he was so sure about it that he chartered a plane to go over there and look for them? Something’s just not adding up for me. Kyle…. [ Sighs ] What if my mom didn’t have a change of heart at all and she actually is working with jeremy stark?

Kyle: Thought did cross my mind.

Summer: That means that your parents could be walking right into a trap set by my mom. Should they be even heading back right now?

Kyle: Look, I get your concern. But dad said they were planning on returning even before my call. Stark leaving town is just an added bonus. With or without him flying off to paris, they were coming home. But rest assured, no one is letting down their guard.

Nate: Audra, what is going on with you? Tell me, where is it written in your list of duties as my coo that you get to meddle in my personal affairs?

Audra: What are you talking about?

Nate: I just saw elena, and it sounds like you’ve been filling her head with all kinds of nonsense.

Audra: About what?

Nate: About my business relationship with victoria.

Audra: [ Sighs ]

Nate: She and I have established a strong rapport, completely professional. Why would you try to turn that into something it’s not?

Audra: I did nothing of the kind.

Nate: Listen, I have finally found a workplace that nurtures growth and encourages new ideas and forward thinking. I hired you because I thought that was something that you and I had.

Audra: We do. And I truly appreciate it. Look, I apologize if anything i said to elena may have led to a misunderstanding.

Nate: Right, a misunderstanding.

Audra: Yes. Really. Elena asked how things were going at the office, and I gave her a glowing report about how the energy here is extremely collaborative and close, mostly in part thanks to you. Okay, I told her how I often feel very in sync with my boss, you, and how you often feel very in sync with your boss, victoria. I was just trying to describe the inclusive vibe around the office.

Nate: Mm-hmm. And that’s all you said?

Audra: What else is there for me to say? Look, I never meant to imply that anyone had anything more than a strictly professional relationship around here. Do you need me to call elena and try to rectify my mistake?

Victoria: You know, you really must be so proud of nate and all that he’s accomplished.

Elena: Yeah, of course I am. I think he’s brilliant.

Victoria: Well, then it’s no surprise to you how, uh, there is no stopping him once he’s set his mind to something. That’s when he really excels. I remember from personal experience what an amazing doctor he was, but now it’s — it’s impressive to see how quickly he’s pivoted into being an incredible businessman.

Elena: Yeah, he’s very talented.

Victoria: I can’t imagine anyone knowing him that would expect anything less. Anyway, it was nice running into you.

Elena: Yeah, you, too.

Victoria: Have a good evening.

Elena: Bye.

Zyrteeeec…

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Elena: [ Clears throat ]

Nate: Hey. Oh, thank you. I, uh — I thought you were headed home.

Elena: Yeah, that was the plan, but I felt horrible about overreacting and questioning you earlier, and I knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep unless I apologized.

Nate: Like I said, I totally understand.

Elena: I don’t think you do. Nate, I am so scared that we are going to fall back into this contentious pattern that almost ended our relationship.

Nate: That is not going to happen. I am truly happy here at newman. I feel valued here. Look, the last time we had trouble, I was at chancellor-winters. You know that was a whole different kind of beast.

Elena: But work is work, no matter how much you enjoy it, and I don’t want you to overlook the fact that every job is going to be demanding and difficult at some point, even in the best environments.

Nate: Okay, you want me to quit?

Elena: No, not at all. Nate, I support you, I’m proud of you, and I want to be by your side, supporting you as you succeed.

Nate: It means a lot.

Elena: But I also see you sinking a little deeper every day, and that’s what worries me. We almost broke up because of the pressure of working in the business world. It was like it was changing you.

Nate: But I didn’t change. And besides, what would you have me do?

Elena: [ Sighs ] I love seeing you this happy. It makes me happy. But I also can’t forget how close I was to losing you. So what happens when things get difficult and human? Am I going to lose you forever?

Jack: Awful lot of luggage for what ended up being a very short trip. Hey, you seemed awfully quiet on the drive back.

Diane: Hm.

Jack: You wanted to come home. Are you having second thoughts? I consider it my job now to make sure you are safe and secure wherever you lay your head.

Diane: I haven’t given jeremy much thought since kyle said he was gone. No, actually, I have been thinking of the news about our engagement.

Jack: Oh, that’s so much more pleasant.

Diane: Yeah, and I appreciate you wanting to tell the world that we’re in love and getting married, and I-I feel the same way. But, you know, we need to be practical and sensitive right now. We need to make sure kyle’s okay with this.

Jack: Well, agreed, but we have to tell him.

Diane: Yes, but it might take him some time to come to grips with the idea.

Jack: Oh, I think he’ll come around a lot quicker than you think. He knows we’re in love.

Diane: I know, but just because this feels so right to us doesn’t mean he’s going to feel the same way. You know, we can’t — we can’t force him into accepting that we’re getting married.

Jack: I think he’ll embrace it pretty quickly, and when he does, we will tell the rest of the world. We will shout it from the rooftops!

Diane: [ Laughs ] You know, we’re guaranteed to face some criticism.

Jack: We can’t worry about those people. We need to stay focused on us and our happiness.

Diane: Yeah, I wish I could put all of those people out of my mind, but the reality is, this news is going to be troubling to some people, and I would hate for anybody to get upset over something that gives us so much joy.

Jack: I appreciate your compassion, and I agree with you. So here’s what I suggest. We tell immediate family now, and we tell our friends and extended family later on.

Diane: Okay. Thank you for understanding. And we can scandalize the rest of genoa city later.

[ Chuckles ] Oh.

Jack: What?

Diane: I guess I’m going to have to wait to show off my gorgeous ring.

Phyllis: It’s done.

Jeremy: They know?

Phyllis: Kyle and summer think that you left town.

Jeremy: You think they bought it?

Phyllis: I think summer has her doubts, but kyle, he left immediately. Probably to summon his dad back into town.

Jeremy: Good. Bringing you on board seems to be one of my more brilliant ideas after all.

Phyllis: It was your most brilliant idea. Alright, mastermind, what’s next? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Jeremy: I suspect the next steps will be the hardest for you.

Phyllis: I’ll decide what’s hard for me.

Jeremy: It may involve you getting back into the abbotts’ good graces.

Phyllis: I’m not doing that.

Jeremy: We need access to diane’s personal property. That means you need to get back into jack’s house.

Phyllis: Listen, I’ve tried to make nice with diane. It didn’t work.

Jeremy: This is where I can do anything, phyllis. Confidence comes in. Now, if you don’t think you can do it, I’ll just get one of my associates to do a quick “b” and “E.”

Phyllis: No. You’re not going to have some random burglar hit up the abbott house. I told you, I’m protecting my family. What is it? I’ll do anything. What do I need to do?

Jeremy: That’s what I like to hear. We need one or two small items that belong to diane, things specific and personal to her. There needs to be no mistaking who they belong to.

Kyle: Mom, dad, glad you’re home.

Summer: Yeah, welcome back.

Jack: Yeah, we missed you. Not that we were gone that long. Thank you very much for the heads-up on stark’s departure.

Diane: Yes, and if it’s true and if he’s really gone, then that’s good news.

Kyle: If it is true, it will most likely be temporary. Stark isn’t a stupid man, and he’ll realize he’s on a wild goose chase and eventually come back here.

Jack: Well, at very least, it will buy us some time to decide what to do next as a family.

Diane: And speaking of family, we have something else we need to discuss with you. It’s urgent.

Summer: What is it?

Diane: No, no, no, it’s nothing wrong. Actually, it’s quite wonderful.

Jack: I proposed to diane, and, lucky me, she accepted.

Nate: Come here. Stop worrying, okay? You will never lose me. I love you. Yes, I lost my way for a little while there, but now I am here, okay? The man you love is back. And, yes, I’ve been working hard, but I’ve been doing that for us, for our future together.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Sorry. I need to take this. Hey, victoria.

Victoria: Hey. Forgive me for intruding on your evening. I went by your office, and audra told me that you had gone to spend some time with elena.

Nate: She did, did she?

Victoria: Then I ran into elena at crimson lights, and she said that she was going home to get some sleep. So I assume that means maybe you have time to meet for a drink. Um, there are some aspects of the mccall acquisition that I’d love to discuss with you.

Nate: I’m sorry, victoria, but elena’s here with me in the office right now, and we were about to head home. Can it wait until the morning?

Victoria: Yeah, of course. Of course, nate. Yeah, enjoy your evening. We can — we can talk tomorrow.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I can appreciate the personalnature of your situation. Yeah. And? Considering the sudden and consistent onset of your symptoms, I’d like to rule out any other potential causes. I’ll go check on your blood work, and I’ll meet you back here in a few minutes. All right. So I guess I’m sticking around, then.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Ah. Well, hello, nurse baldwin. Laura. Kevin. It’s really good to see you here. Hey. Are you here for a late lunch or an early dinner? Oh, we just came in for a bite. This is really the first moment we’ve had to slow down. Oh, busy day? More like onerous. I had to deal with my brother’s remains today. Ahh. Don’t suppose you’re up for another round?

[ Chuckles ] No reason not to. Cody, I think you dropped something. What’s this? Thank you. Thank you, michael. I really do feel like this is for the best.

[ Doorbell rings ] Um, somebody’s at the door. I got to go. But I’ll come down to the gatehouse, okay, and check in later. Okay. Bye. Daddy. Scout! Oh, my goodness. I know I just saw you the other day, but I missed you so much. I think you got heavier somehow. Hey, wiley and olivia are upstairs. And the word is they got a new game for you to play. Is carly upstairs, too? No. No, honey. Why would you ask that? She’s always with you now. So it looks like now you have important information about carly, just like she had important information about you. The question is, what are you gonna do with it? Well, ava, we don’t really know anything. Not for certain. We’re speculating. Come on. There’s no other explanation. Carly and drew committed insider trading. And if anyone powerful found out, carly and drew might end up in prison. Hey, I’m not trying to break your spirit. I know that you’re hopeful that dex is gonna leave sonny’s world. I just — I want you to be realistic. Look, I really do appreciate you being direct with me. But what else is dex supposed to do? I mean, if he wants out of this, he’s got to at least try. And I think that he’s willing to do what it takes. It’s isolated, which is good. Less chance someone notices the shipment whenever it arrives. It’d be a good idea to put cameras up outside, monitor anyone approaching. I got somebody on that. How many points of entry?

[ Rifle cocks ] Sonny, get down! Stay down. That’s a sniper rifle.

[ Gunshot ] Crap!

[ Gunshots ] Boss. What are you doing? If he gets a clear shot, he’ll blow your head off. He can’t shoot if he’s ducking. Dex has a plan for the future that does not include working for sonny. He just — you know, he needs to be strategic about it. Do I even want to know?

[ Door opens ] Bobbie: Hello, hello! Carly: Hey. Hey. What’s going on? I thought you were going to the zoo with grandma. Well, that was the plan. But then donna said her ears hurt. What? I thought we kicked that last week. All right, well, I still have a refill for your drops, so I’ll head over to general hospital, pick up your prescription. I’ll come back, and then you’ll feel better. All right? Yeah. If only I could fix all your problems that easily. Carly is not always around, honey. You know how your mom said that aunt willow wasn’t feeling well? Well, drew and carly have just been helping to take care of her a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, but I’m sorry. She’s not here today. Hey, why don’t you — do you wanna go see the kids? Leo’s up there. Say hi to everyone. I got to go down to the stables and say hi to cody. Say hello to the horses, too. Okay. Especially thor. Okay. Done. Deal.

[ Chuckles ] Have fun. Thanks for bringing her by, man. Appreciate that. Yeah, of course. So much more aware than I give her credit for. Mm. They grow up so fast. Mm-hmm. Tell me about it. I mean, look, danny, rocco, they’re — they’re teenagers, man. It’s crazy. Yeah. They’re good kids. We’re lucky. What about you and sam? You’re not thinking about having another one? Ha! I don’t — no. I think that chapter’s closed. I’m looking forward to the — you know, the next chapter, whatever that is. I hear you, though. I do. The two years that I spent away, I found out the hard way how short life is. I got to — I got to be willing to do whatever I need to to start the next chapter myself. I have to admit, bringing carly down is just so tempting. Carly and I have actually been on better terms lately. I mean, as best we can be, given our history. So… so personally, it wouldn’t please me as much to see her in an orange jumpsuit now as it would have a few years ago. That’s just me. Well, we don’t know if they would definitely go to prison. Maybe they just will pay a fine. Mm… no, I’m pretty sure that people go to prison for insider trading. And carly and drew, they knowingly colluded to raise aurora’s value. Oh, we don’t know. Okay. All right. Okay, fine. Theoretically colluded. But come on. You should admit it. There’s got to be a part of you that’s happy to have carly’s life in your hands again, just like you did when you were in nixon falls. How lucky for me to bump into you, elizabeth. We simply must continue our conversation of the other day. Sorry, victor. I’m on duty. When we previously discussed your involvement with my nephew’s ridiculous plot to keep esme prisoner, I got the distinct impression there was more you weren’t telling me. What I can tell you is, it’s over. I’m sure by now the police have questioned you. You have no more leverage over me. The police? Oh. Oh, you don’t know, do you? You see, I made a deal with the pcpd in exchange for immunity. I told them everything, including your role in the cover-up. Not that you’re asking, but my advice to you — get a good lawyer. I’m so sorry, kevin. I’m sure dealing with ryan’s remains wasn’t easy for you. I really appreciate that, felicia. You know, I don’t think anyone should have to pretend that they’re upset ryan’s gone, least of all you. Well, that’s true, but I can acknowledge that this is hard for you. He was your twin brother. Given the situation, kevin and I have decided that the best thing we could do is let kevin have a private moment to spread his brother’s ashes.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ] A patient. I have to take this. Okay. Excuse me. How’s he really holding up? You know, he brought up his parents’ divorce the other day for the first time in years. You know, he stayed with his father when they split. And ryan went with the mother. The mom who wound up molesting him. Yeah. Kevin says he can remember the day he said goodbye to his brother like — like it was yesterday, when he was young and he seemed so innocent. But the thing is, even though he knows better, I think somehow, somewhere, he still struggles with this notion that he could have done more. And I know he’s upset about lucy. Have you told him that she’s still alive? No. I just feel like I need to protect him right now, you know? I feel like that situation could go south at any moment. But, I mean, obviously, the longer it goes on, the harder that’s gonna be. I feel the same way about mac. He knows there’s more going on with anna, but maybe it’s time to bring our husbands in on what we’ve been up to. Oh, I guess it’s personal. Yeah. It’s nothing. Just forget about it. Well, what… is everything okay with you? Yeah. You know, um… I was just a little short on money this month, so I donated some plasma for extra cash. It’s — you know, it’s just a little embarrassing, that’s all. Cody, there’s nothing embarrassing about having money trouble. Been there, done that myself. Look, if you need a little help getting work, I mean, felicia and I, we don’t have the bar anymore, but I know a lot of people. I can help you find some work. I’m the last person you should be helping.

[ Gunshot ] We got to move. The longer we stay here, the worse our chances. Tony: Boss. Tony. What are we looking at? Single shooter. Sniper rifle. My guys are here. There’s more on the way. You want to live? Put your rifle down and give yourself up.

[ Gunshot ] You’re the last person I should help? What does that mean? You know what? We probably shouldn’t have this second round of beers. I still have work to do. We were just having a nice talk. Why do I get the sense you’re blowing me off? Hey, cody, what’s going on? Oh, hey. Sorry. Dante. I didn’t mean to interrupt. No, dante. No, it’s fine. Mac, hey, sorry. I totally forgot that I had plans with him. No problem. I’m supposed to meet with my wife anyway. Dante. Yeah. See ya, mac. Hey, mac. Uh… about that friend of yours? What about it? I know that things might be awkward and uncomfortable, but you guys should talk it out, you know? ‘Cause if you don’t, it’s just gonna get harder and more difficult to fix. You know, in my experience, if you have a really good friend that’s only done right by you, well, they’re hard to come by in this world. Good to know.

[ Door closes ] What was that all about? I think it’s time we had a check-in with robert and anna. I can’t help this feeling that things are just all about to blow up.

[ Cellphone rings ] I’m gonna take this. Okay. Hello. Drew? Laura. Hey. Sorry to bother you. Is it possible to meet today? I’ve got a proposal I’d like to run by you. Did I lose my wife? Mm, she had to take a call. I hope you don’t mind that I stole your seat. No. I’m glad you did. Listen, I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, but I’ve been trying to reach out to you for the last couple of days, and… you haven’t responded. I should have called you back. Why haven’t you? Honestly? Because I didn’t know what to say. Mac did what he had to do. My brother was a killer. He had to be stopped. My head knows that.

[ Sighs ] My heart is grieving. And I can’t explain that. Because I look at the people that my brother terrorized. Many of those people are people I love. I don’t want to mourn him. I need to know exactly what you told the police about me. I told them you weren’t a part of the kidnapping, but once you found out, you had no qualms about covering up your nephew’s tracks. And I can’t imagine you didn’t play a pivotal role in nikolas leaving town. I had absolutely no part in this ill-conceived mess that you and nikolas got yourselves into. Yeah, what’s that saying? “It’s not about the crime. It’s more about the cover-up”? And you were all over that. All I did was tell the truth. Something I know your family is unfamiliar with. So consider this conversation over. Oh, we are finished when I say we’re finished. Hey, back the hell off, cassadine!

Boss, tony’s at the door. He and I can keep the shooter pinned down. It’s the best chance you’ve got. You know what you’re doing, right? This is what I was trained for. On three. One, two, three.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Gunshot ] Well, donna is down for her nap, so now I can get some work done. Work? I thought today was your off day. Oh, well, actually, it is. But maxie asked me to help her plan the nurses’ ball. Really? Wait, that’s awesome. I didn’t know that they were doing it this year. Yeah. Yeah. Except this year, not only is the ball going to help fund research for hiv/aids — it’s also to honor the hospital’s 60th anniversary… oh. …And the G.H. Staff that we lost. Grandma, that’s a beautiful way to keep their memories alive. Yeah, provided I can come up with enough musical acts. So what I’m thinking is, I’m gonna reach out to the G.H. Nurses… mm-hmm. …Like epiphany and felix and amy and deanna. But I’m also gonna ask some non-G.H. Staff, like ned and chase… and cameron. Yeah. Um… grandma, I’m not so sure that cam would be up for performing this year. You know, he’s — he’s been through a lot, and… I haven’t helped. Didn’t anyone ever teach you not to put your hands on a woman? And it’s lovely to see you again, mrs. Corinthos. It’s carly spencer. A name I know you’re familiar with. Mm. Well, I’m just waiting here for my doctor to get back with some test results. Well, then you can wait somewhere else. Until next time. Oh, and, elizabeth, I do hope this situation with esme doesn’t come back to haunt you. Thank you. But I had that under control. No offense, but it didn’t look like it. What’s victor talking about? What situation with esme? Look, roz, it’s, uh… it’s victor cassadine. Listen, I may be in a spot of legal bother. Apparently, elizabeth baldwin made a statement to the pcpd and brought up my name. I need you to find out exactly what she said. Well, it’s all gonna come out soon enough, so I may as well tell you. When esme showed up at wyndemere, she was pregnant with nikolas’ child. Wow. I mean, when you think a man can’t sink any lower… yeah. …He sleeps with his son’s girlfriend. Well, at the time, we all thought she was the hook killer. I mean, everybody did. Even — even the police. Why didn’t you go straight to the police with this? Because nikolas didn’t want his baby being born in prison… and we thought she was dangerous, so he came up with an alternate plan. He kept esme locked up in one of the wyndemere towers, and I provided her with medical care. Oh. I’ve already told cameron everything, but not jake or aiden yet, but because I made a deal with the D.A.’S office, this is all gonna be made public very soon. I don’t know what came over me. And I can only imagine what you must be thinking of me right now. I’m thinking I would have done the same thing. Ava, there is no part of me that’s enjoying being put in this position again. Come on, nina. It’s just the two of us here. Who are you fooling? No, well… don’t get me wrong. You know, I’m really happy that things worked out with sonny. So happy. But my desire to get revenge against carly has cost me so much. I suppose it would serve carly right to serve a little time in prison, given that she kept me from my daughter for the better part of a year. I certainly would think that the universe is finally balancing the scales more fairly. Okay. All right. Now at least you’re being honest. But, hey, hey, no, listen. I want you to promise me that you’re not gonna tell anybody about any of this. What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, no. I promise. I promise. I am sitting this one out. Really. I’m not gonna tell anybody. I’m not gonna call anybody. But…you are. What are you doing? Oh, that’s the number for the sec, and you’re gonna call. Isn’t this what you want? What are you waiting for?

Kevin, I know you aren’t mourning the man who stalked me or terrorized ava. You’re mourning the little boy that you still remember before bad things happened to ryan. Can I tell you a secret? Always. When I heard that ryan was taken to the morgue, I snuck down to see him. After all the pain that he had put me through, I needed to see his dead body for myself. I understand. I told myself that if I could see that he was really gone and he was no longer a threat to me, then maybe I might be able to forgive him.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’m really ashamed to say that I really couldn’T. Don’t ever feel that you have to forgive him. Don’t ever be ashamed for how you really feel. Exactly. Don’t you think it’s time to take your own advice, doctor? Uh, hi. Hi. Sorry I’m late. The day got away from me. What? What I just said with mac? Yeah. Yeah, that, and we don’t have plans today. It kind of seemed like you were trying to get rid of him, which, why were you trying to get rid of him? It’s not a secret. Look, I found out what happened with him and ryan, so I sent him a couple texts just to make sure he was okay, you know? Oh. And then out of nowhere, he just shows up here at my work, clearly trying to be, like, best buds. And I was like, “listen, man, I got enough friends. Thanks.” Ha ha! You got friends. You got so many friends, you can count them on one hand and still have a finger left over. Oh, yeah? Well, I hope you know what finger I’m saving for you. I do. That’s not very nice. But, listen, you texted him to check in on him, right? And then he took it upon himself just to come over and see you. Like, not your father, but he can still be a friend, right? I mean, I’ve known mac a long time. He’s a stand-up guy, like I told you. Yeah, yeah, I know. Mac’s a stand-up guy. You’ve told me. Everyone’s told me. Maxie’s told me, sam’s told me. Which is exactly why I don’t deserve to have him as a part of my life. Not after what I’ve done to him. Ava, what are you doing? You know, take this back. I’m trying to take the high road here. Hey, sorry to interrupt, ava. Do you have a second? Sure. We were just doing a little catch-up. Okay. I just wanted to touch base now that your aunt liesl is gonna be willow’s bone marrow donor. Yeah, we’re very grateful. She’s doing more tests, actually. It just means so much that she’s stepping up. It’s amazing. She’s always been my rock. You know, it’s been very difficult to find out that willow is my daughter, and then she’s fighting leukemia. I hear you. You don’t have to explain to me. I lost a child to cancer. And although the situations are very different, I wouldn’t wish that battle on my worst enemy. So… thank you. Anyway, uh… could I offer you some hard-won advice? What’s that? While you’re trying to take care of willow from a distance, don’t forget to take care of yourself.

[ Chuckles ] No, there’s no way you can understand why I helped nikolas the way I did. Help nikolas? No. But I can certainly understand your instincts. Elizabeth, you and I, I mean, we’ve had our issues over the years, but I could never fault you for the loyalty you have to your children and your family. Hell, I would move heaven and earth to protect mine. We have that in common. Yeah, we do. I mean, if I were in your position and jason asked me to help him the way nikolas asked you, I wouldn’t hesitate to say yes. Although jason would have never been duped by esme. Much less slept with her. No. And more importantly, he would never have vanished when the heat was on and left me holding the bag. And he would have never done that to you either. I know nikolas is a really good friend of yours, and I’m really sorry that he betrayed you like this. And I’m not gonna turn this into a therapy session, but this is one of the things that just frustrates me about you. Yeah, because we’re so much alike. But you never learned the tough lesson that I learned a long time ago. What was that lesson? Be careful who you give your loyalty to. They may not return it in kind.

[ Grunting ] Son of a bitch.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshots ] How are you? Glad you came back. Cam and I broke up, but I have a feeling you already knew that. Yeah. A grandmother has a way of figuring these things out. But I have noticed that you have been acting a lot lighter lately. So does that mean there’s someone else that’s making you happy?

[ Chuckles ] Um, cam and i have been growing apart for almost a year. Because of the revenge porn? Well, that certainly didn’t help. And, you know, maybe there’s a world where we would have stayed together out of sheer momentum. But a lot happened this year. And we just feel like two different people. We both lost a lot. Hey, honey, the whole town lost a lot this year. And that is why it’s so important that we all come together to celebrate not only the amazing achievement of general hospital being around for 60 years, but also the fact that it’s still thriving. And that’s how we’re gonna honor those that we lost — lucy, valentin, and britt. And uncle luke.

[ Door opens ] Well, that took a little longer than I was expecting. Sorry to keep you waiting, but the results are in. We found something concerning in your blood work. I don’t want to become bitter or hardened by this, and I certainly don’t want nikolas’ actions to change who I am. Well, I understand that. But this experience has definitely changed my perspective. I can almost see in a warped way how my parents thought they were protecting me. I mean, ultimately, my dad’s actions were all about protecting himself from embarrassment. But I can see how they were tempted to go down that path. You would never do that to your kids? No. God, no. No, never. But the anger I had towards my parents — not really there anymore. I can almost hold on to the good memories. I mean, before it all went to hell. Wow. You know what? I was hoping that you would come to that decision at some point. Hello, drew. Hi, laura. Can I sit? Please. Great. So, tell me… what is this mysterious proposal of yours?

[ Laughs ] Yeah. I’ll keep it simple. In the wake of valentin’s death, charlotte has been left with a large portion of elq voting stock. Now, obviously, charlotte is not of voting age, so this will fall on your shoulders, at least for a few years. I still haven’t heard a proposal. Right. So ned and i have agreed on a plan to buy back charlotte’s stock at a very good price… provided you’re on board. Okay. I’m not gonna tattle on carly to the sec. I didn’t think you would. Especially not after that conversation. I know. Did you see that? It’s just, you know, my issues are with carly, not with drew. I mean, he’s a stand-up guy, right? And if I say anything, he’s gonna go to prison, too. And no matter what I feel or think about carly, the truth is, she has been the main source of support for michael and willow during this really, really difficult time. And there’s nothing worth taking that away from willow. I think you two should spend some time alone. Have a seat. I’ve been avoiding you the last few days. I think we’ve both been doing our share of avoiding. That’s not really like us, is it? No. I’ve taken a life in the line of duty before. But to see your face now, to see your grief… there has to be a part of you that blames me for killing ryan. I don’T. I’ve been avoiding you and felicia because… I see the relief on your faces. I feel it, too. Relief that you’re safe. That the burden of my brother has finally been lifted from my life. But I still feel guilty. Do you think we’ve been avoiding each other to ignore all the voices in our head?

[ Chuckles ] Well, if I were diagnosing, yeah, I’d say this is a classic case of avoidance. Be that as it may… …ryan was my brother in birth. But my brother in life… …the one I could count on… my best friend… …that’s you. You don’t deserve mac? I got a feeling that this has nothing to do with one of your past cons or something like that. If you don’t tell me something, I can’t help. Can you keep a secret? You know I can. To the grave. Well, how bad is this one?

Aww. Looks like everything worked out okay. Yeah, I’d say so.

[ Chuckles ] I’d say in the 30 years of being friends, this is the most we’ve ever talked about our feelings. Good thing for you I’m in-network for the pcpd’s health plan.

[ Laughs ] Well, I can’t take all the credit. I mean, cody was the one who suggested that we talk it out. More evidence we got him all wrong when he first came to port charles.

[ Breathes deeply ] The grave, right? So mac really is your father? It’s been almost a year since uncle luke passed. You don’t talk about him much. Yeah, well, you know, part of me just… can’t accept it. I just keep thinking luke’s gonna show up at my house one day, and he’s gonna say, “hey, barbara jean, have I got one hell of a story to tell you.”

[ Chuckles ] But I also know that if… if luke were still around, he would have reached out by now. I know there’s no way he would ever let me or tracy or his kids grieve this long. I know you miss him. Do you feel unsettled? Your uncle luke was larger than life. And there is no way I will ever believe that he died in some random accident. Someone out there is to blame. Well, now you’ve got my attention. What exactly is wrong with my blood work? What I found was out of my purview. Which is why I’m bringing dr. Finn on board for a consult. What does that mean? The lab results show a pathogen inside your bloodstream. Well, you’ve given me an awful lot to think about. So what do you say? Will you sell me valentin’s shares of elq? I’m sorry, drew. I’m afraid I can’t do that. What can I say? I’m impressed. This — this feels like growth for you, huh? Yeah, well, maybe. Maybe not. I don’t know. Selfishly, I don’t want to do anything to hurt willow, yes, because of her health issues, but also because I’m hoping down the line maybe we can have a real mother-daughter relationship. Mm. Yeah, I totally get that. But, still, it must be nice to know you have this bombshell in your back pocket. Just in case. Where did you get this? Do you remember when I came by your hoe right after you got back from monterey? You were in a really bad place, and you were determined to burn every picture of your parents. And…I don’t know. I just thought one day you would really regret that decision. That is such a violation. I can’t believe you did that. Thank you. I know I’ve said this to you before. But if you ever find yourself in this spot again and you need to talk to someone to work through a really tough decision, can you call me? I know we don’t like each other all the time, but we respect each other enough to get the job done. Is he dead? Just incapacitated. How’s your arm? It’s a crease. Nothing serious. Think he works for pikeman? I don’t think they’d want to risk jeopardizing the deal. You know? Too much at stake. But I’ll tell you what. I’m gonna find out who this guy is working for.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I know there’s still a lot to discuss with you designing again, thomas, but honestly right now, all I can hear is douglas saying that he wants to come live with us again.

Thomas: Yeah. You– you must be so excited.

Hope: I am. Honestly, I was beginning to think it might never happen. Oh, beth is gonna be so happy getting her older brother back.

Thomas: Well, I think he’s with our moms right now. I could grab him and bring him over to the cabin if you want.

Hope: Thomas, are you– are you okay with this? I mean, I– I know. I mean, obviously, it was your suggestion that douglas pick where he lives, and I know you were hoping that he’d want to live with you.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s um– it’s still painful, him choosing to live at the cabin instead of with me. But, you know, um, it’s– it’s actually, it’s– it’s okay. ‘Cause– I– look, we’re in a– we’re in a better place now and we can figure out a better situation that works for all of us. And I– honestly, I’m– I am excited. I am. I’m ready to– to see what the future has in store for us.

Liam: So, thankfully thomas will not be returning to hope for the future now.

Wyatt: Well, it’s kinda nuts they were even considering it in tstm: Wel yeah. And I’m just– I’m– I’m so grateful I was able to get through to hope. You know, make her realize what a risk it is. She just– she can’t be spending day after day after day with that guy. In fact, he shouldn’t be allowed near her ever again.

Wyatt: Look, hope knows who thomas is.

Liam: Yes. She– she does. But she’s also really vulnerable right now ’cause she’s so concerned about her line.

Wyatt: And having thomas around’s not gonna worry her more?

Liam: That’s the thing. Steffy had her convinced that he’s the only designer in the whole universe that can save it.

Wyatt: What? What? That’s– that’s insane. They have plenty of designers. He’s not the only one.

Liam: You know that and I know that, but according to thomas, he and hope have a special connection.

Wyatt: Oh, god.

Liam: And it’s– you know what? It’s not even that he’s wrong in general about that. I mean, the two of them share a kid. That’s fine. It’s just the whole, like, I’m a changed man thing. That’s– that’s where I get off the train.

Wyatt: Yeah. And how many times have we heard that?

Liam: Exactly. He’s still the same guy, right? He’s still unreliable. He’s still egocentric. He’s–

Wyatt: Creepy.

Liam: Totally creepy. And thankfully hope sees that now.

Wyatt: Well, it’s gotta be a huge relief for you to know that you got through to her, right?

[ Liam sighing ]

Hope: I believe you want hope for the future to succeed, thomas.

Thomas: And I will do everything I can to make that happen.

Hope: Oh, well, I mean, that depends. I don’t want you to take things too far.

Thomas: No, no, no, no, no. No way. Now that guy is long gone, right? Thankfully. Now, I wanna be the kind of person that you and the rest of the family can be proud of. Someone that our son can look up to.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Steffy: What’s going on? Is everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, it is.

Thomas: Yeah, it’s great.

Steffy: Great. Okay. That sounds positive.

Hope: I think so.

Steffy: Wait a minute. Does– does this mean?

Hope: Yes, I– I have agreed to let thomas back on hope for the future.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Oh, that’s great. Hi, I’m michael,

[ Phone chimes ]

Wyatt: Hope?

Liam: No.

Wyatt: Wasn’t she gonna call you after she talked to steffy?

Liam: Yeah, but you know, she’s been under so much stress lately that I think I’d forgive her if it slipped her mind.

Wyatt: I know. A lot of that going around, huh?

Liam: Yeah. I– I wish– I wish there was something more I could do to help. I’m trying to be like encouraging and– and supportive, but hope for the future is sputtering.

Wyatt: Combine that with losing douglas. It’s gotta feel like a one-two punch to her, you know? I still can’t believe he chose to live with steffy.

Liam: Yeah. I mean that was especially painful for hope because she– she prides herself on being not just a good mom, but a successful businesswoman. And it’s annoying because all of the– all of this is thomas’s fault, right? He’s the one who got himself kicked out of forrester, which is why hope for the future is suffering. He’s the one who pushed the whole custody issue.

Wyatt: Yeah. And I mean, hope’s gotta see that though, right? I mean she’s– she’s– she’s paying attention.

Liam: Yes. Well, I mean, I thought so, but– but then she started talking about the possibility of bringing him back to the line. And so I– I don’t know. Listen, it’s her business, obviously. She knows how to run it and she can do whatever she wants. But I– my thing is I don’t want her to be manipulated, right? And that’s why I took a stand.

Wyatt: You were being a protective husband and rightfully so.

Liam: Yes, of course, counterpoint is hope can totally take care of herself. And at the end of the day, I don’t want to be the, you know, laying down the law. “Ooh. You have to do what I say.” Like that guy.

Wyatt: What are you talking about? I know you. That’s not the kinda guy you are. Plus, it doesn’t even sound like you guys argued about it.

Liam: We argued a little, but we each understood what the other one was saying too.

Wyatt: She’s lucky to have you and whether it seems like it or not, she knows you’re looking out for her because working with thomas is a non-starter. He cannot have a place in your lives.

Steffy: Seriously. You want thomas as your lead designer?

Hope: Well, pending your approval.

Steffy: Approved. As long as it’s something you really want.

Hope: I mean, look, it’s no secret that I wasn’t exactly okay with it at first. I needed some convincing and I needed to be able to trust the people that I work with. And I needed to believe that thomas had really changed.

Thomas: I have. I promise.And-and I will. I– I give you my word. All right. You– you too, steff.

Hope: Yeah. He was pretty convincing. Even my mom sounded cautiously optimistic.

Thomas: She’s never gonna forgive me for the phone call, how I affected her marriage, but she said that she would support whatever hope chose to do.

Steffy: You’re good, thomas. Maybe I should move you over to sales.

Thomas: Hm. Yeah. I can’t take all the credit. Mom definitely gave brooke a lot of encouragement.

Hope: Hmm. Mm-hmm.

Steffy: Their friendship has been such a game changer.

Thomas: Definitely a game changer for me. I mean, it changed my entire world, my life, you know. I mean, I– I was ready to accept whatever brooke said. You know, even if that meant that I could make it up to everybody, what I wanted to do all along, you know. That’s all I wanted was to make it up to– to you, the whole family. And– and definitely my son.

Hope: Douglas was here too.

Thomas: Mm.

Steffy: Did you tell him the news?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: I think he was more excited than we were.

Steffy: Absolutely. He always says how amazing it is when you two are getting along.

Hope: And we told him it could be like that again.

Thomas: Yeah. Hope and i vowed to be a team at work and his parents.

Steffy: He must be so happy.

Hope: He is. And actually he– he said that he misses me, he misses our family and he’s actually ready to come back home.

Steffy: Are you serious? Hope, that’s great.

Hope: I know. I know you know it’s been really tough for me with him away.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. I mean, I can only imagine. But I told you this is only temporary. Like, this is wonderful. Okay, so we’ll– we’ll reach out to the judge and we’ll figure everything out.

Hope: Yeah. We actually– we have a call in already.

Steffy: Wow. Okay. Okay. So many changes around here. Speaking of changes, how does liam feel now that you’re working with thomas? I’m sure it took a bit of convincing.

Hope: Well, he actually doesn’t know yet. When asthma symptoms strike, airways narrow.

Wyatt: Well, look, I should get going. Hope’s probably gonna be home soon, huh?

Liam: Yep. Maybe. Who knows? She might stay at the office and see if she can figure out how to salvage her line without thomas.

Wyatt: Look, if she can’t, she’ll find something else to do. Something better.

Liam: When did you become such a ray of sunshine?

Wyatt: I don’t know. I don’t know. I honestly think I blacked out there for a second. Look, not everything has to be dark and ominous in our lives. We get enough of that talking to dad.

Liam: Have you talked to him recently?

Wyatt: Nope. And I don’t know why I would, because everything that he says just does not make sense anyway. What about you? You gonna tell him about this whole situation?

Liam: What? Tell dad that thomas is becoming a concern again? Absolutely not.

Wyatt: You know, the way things are going, maybe dad and thomas will become best friends.

Liam: Oh, god.

Wyatt: Why did I say that?

Liam: Oh. No, thank you.

[Indistinct], I keep– I don’t know. I keep thinking he’s gonna just snap out of it and become his old self again, but no dice.

Wyatt: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I kinda miss him calling me a knucklehead ten times a day. It’s just this whole sheila thing, it– it– it’s weird. I just, I– I have no clue what to do.

Liam: I don’t either. And in fact, the more I think about it, the less of a clue I have.

Wyatt: Well, you got enough on your plate. I’ll handle dad. Hey, at least I get to cross thomas off the list, right?

Thomas: So liam doesn’t know you’re bringing me back as lead designer?

Steffy: You didn’t talk to him about it?

Hope: No, I did and he was upset to hear that my line might be canceled, but I explained the situation to him and the two options and that I was considering it.

Thomas: And one of those options being that I’m coming back as lead designer.

Hope: He wasn’t thrilled. He insisted that I say no.

Steffy: But you got liam to come around.

Hope: Well, he’s genuinely worried about me, our family. He just wants to protect us.

Thomas: From me.

Hope: From being hurt again.

Thomas: Yeah. Look, I’m sorry, hope. That must have been a really hard conversation.

Hope: Well, liam understands that hope for the future is very important to me, but the security and safety of our family is paramount to him and I don’t disagree with that. So, by the end of our conversation, I assured him that I would tell you both no.

Steffy: You did?

Thomas: Wait, so when you came here today, you– you– you planned on letting me down?

Hope: I was going to tell you no. And liam does have a point. After everything that happened with douglas and beth, after how many chances you’ve been given.

Thomas: Right. But you didn’T. So, something changed your mind?

Hope: I love my line and I don’t wanna see it end and I think it would be good for douglas to see us working together. So yes, I changed my mind. I also believe, thomas, that this time is different.

Thomas: It is different, okay. I promise you, you don’t have to worry and neither does liam. I’m not gonna let you down.

Steffy: I still don’t think liam will find that reassuring.

Hope: Well, I will find a way to get through to him. The sooner I do that, the better. I don’t want him finding out from anyone else, so.

Thomas: Hope, wait. Um, I– look, I– I promise you I meant what I said. I don’t wanna cause you any more pain or heartache. Okay? So… if you have to let me go in order to protect your marriage, it’s okay, all right? I’ll be fine with that. I’m jonathan lawson

Steffy: I see that smile.

Thomas: I am happier than I’ve been in a long time. And– and not just because of what hope’s done for me, bringing me back to the company. I mean, that– that’s amazing. But honestly, she could go home right now and talk to liam and decide that she needs to let me go, but it’s the fact that she actually was willing to put her faith in me again. And you too. It just– it means the world. So, thank you for going to bat for me.

Steffy: Yeah. Hopefully, it doe g

Steffy: No backsliding, okay? I don’t wanna see a hint of your old behavior. You’re in a really positive place right now, and I just want you to stay right here.

Thomas: Okay. I’m not– I’m not– okay. I’m not changing. I’m not changing. I can feel the difference in myself.

Steffy: Good. I know you work so hard on yourself. I really hope it pays off. I mean, our family has just been through so much and we deserve a win this time.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, is dad gonna feel that way about you bringing me back?

Steffy: Okay, thomas. We will cross that bridge when we get there. The bottom line together again. Douglas is moving back into the cabin. It feels like our family is finally coming together. I wonder if it’s the opposite over at hope and liam’S.

Thomas: No, douglas is coming to live with them again, back at the cabin. They should be celebrating. And honestly, I– I meant it. I do not have any ill will toward their marriage.

Liam: I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life, and when you don’t, we all pay the price. I don’t know what– I don’t know what to do anymore. So, I’m begging you again. Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life. Please.

Hope: Okay. Fine. Fine. I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You’re making the right decision, I promise. I promise. Hey, you’re home. You actually just missed wyatt. I– I kinda filled him in on everything. He– he was– he was pretty shocked that– that steffy would even consider hiring thomas back and– and make you go along with it.

Hope: Well, steffy’s not the only one pushing that.

Liam: No. Yeah, of course. Obviously, it was thomas himself and– and taylor. I’m glad we got to have a conversation before you got pressured into making a bad decision. And thank you by the way, for hearing me out ’cause I know that you’ve been really stressed and not just about the line, but about douglas as well, so.

Hope: Well, um, some good news. I actually saw douglas when I was at forrester creations and he said that he– he misses us and he wants to come back home.

Liam: Are you serious?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Oh, my god.

Hope: It’s incredible.

Liam: Oh, my god, that’s amazing.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: Yes. So what– how did– what did– what changed his mind? Like– like why did he– why did he decide to come home?

Hope: Uh, well um, he saw thomas and me together.

Liam: Oh, thomas was at forrester today?

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Liam: Was douglas present when you had to tell thomas he wasn’t returning to hftf? ‘Cause I kinda feel like seeing his parents arguing is the last thing he needs right now.

Hope: Oh, we weren’t– we weren’t arguing.

Liam: Well, that’s cool. So, thomas kinda like took it on the chin for the sake of his kid. That’s good. You know, see, that’s growth, right? That’s good.

Hope: Liam.

Liam: What? What?

Hope: You know, I– I respect you and I understand where you’re coming from and I heard everything that you had to say and I was ready to go in there and tell steffy and everyone what we decided, but then I heard all the different sides of the argument and I, um… I changed my mind.

Liam: Um, you– you changed your mind about what specifically? What did you– what did you say?

Hope: I asked thomas to come back to hope for the future as lead designer. Thomas and I are going to be working together again.

Days Update Friday, March 10, 2023

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Nicole joins EJ in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. EJ asks her which drink she wants. Nicole says both after the day she had but not yet because their work day isn’t finished yet. Nicole thinks EJ may have a problem. EJ asks what happened. Nicole informs him that she ran in to Johnny in the park and overheard him talking to Wendy. Nicole adds that she doesn’t know how they figured it out but they suspect he is the one drugging Stefan.

At the hospital, Tripp is on the phone with Steve. Tripp says being back at the hospital without Kayla feels wrong and sad, but he wants to do his best to live up to her standard. Tripp says his first day is going okay so far and it’s like he never left. Tripp finishes the call and hangs up as Johnny arrives at the hospital. Johnny tells Tripp that he came to see him.

Alex is at the Titan office, on the phone with Victor. Alex tells Victor about he and Maggie not seeing eye to eye on the future of Bella Magazine, so he was hoping Victor would hear his input before making any major decisions.

Xander returns to the Spectator office and tells Gwen that he wants to talk about them. Gwen is surprised as she thought that would be the last thing he would want to talk about after the way he rushed out. Xander admits that was wrong and cowardly. Gwen understands that she kissed him impulsively and says she just got caught up over the numbers. Xander tells her that she doesn’t have to explain or apologize but he does. Gwen tells him it’s fine but he tells her to let him speak. Xander explains that when he found out his divorce papers were lost, he thought maybe fate was telling him that there was still hope and he knows it’s naïve to hold out hope but that’s what he’s doing which is why he cannot even consider a romantic relationship with Gwen until he knows for sure that his divorce is final. Xander adds that he understands if that’s not okay with her.

Wendy answers the door at her apartment to see her father, Wei Shin. She asks if he came to check up on her. Wei mentions going to the Brady Pub and hearing that Li was living here now. Wendy confirms that Li and Gabi moved in yesterday. Wei questions if Li is still abiding by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him. Wendy suggests taking that up with Li but he’s not home right now. Wei questions someone sleeping on the sofa and if they don’t have enough bedrooms for the three of them. Wendy then reveals that there are four of them because her friend Tripp has moved in.

Johnny comments on hearing Tripp was working at the hospital again which he confirms. Tripp tells Johnny that if this is about Wendy, he has nothing to worry about as there is nothing romantic going on between them and they are just friends. Johnny says he knows because Wendy told him that and he trusts her. Johnny adds that he’s not here about Wendy, but about EJ.

EJ tells Nicole that he could have sworn that Johnny and Wendy believed him when he spoke to them. Nicole says that by the time she got to them, they were questioning Stefan using drugs and wondering if EJ was drugging him. EJ wonders how they figured it out. Nicole doesn’t think they did and that it was just conjecture. EJ asks how she reacted. Nicole says she lied her ass off and even told them that she was there when the investigator told him that Stefan’s fingerprints were on the vial and they seemed to buy it. Nicole hopes they did as they agree that if Johnny knew the truth, he could ruin everything.

Tripp asks Johnny if EJ is alright. Johnny says he’s fine but he did get some tests taken for some DiMera business, so he wondered if he could get a copy of the results. Tripp is afraid he can’t help him as the rules state he would still need written authorization from EJ. Johnny claims that EJ sent him to get the test results for him to save time and questions having to go back to get EJ’s signature. Tripp says he’s sorry but he doesn’t make the rules and he’d prefer not to break any on his first day back.

Wei questions Wendy about living with a guy who is not a boyfriend. Wendy confirms that to be true and reveals that she is seeing Johnny DiMera. Wei questions why he didn’t know that. Wendy says she wasn’t hiding anything but they just started casually dating after being friends for awhile. Wendy knows Johnny isn’t a doctor or a lawyer and he’s not Chinese. Wei says he doesn’t care about that. Wei brings up Li turning his whole world upside down for Gabi while Wendy is cementing their family legacy at the company by being involved with the family heir to DiMera Enterprises. Wei congratulates Wendy and says he’s so proud of her.

EJ questions why Johnny and Wendy have to dig in to every irregularity they come across. Nicole says now that EJ has to figure out a way to assure Johnny that there is no mystery here. Nicole encourages that it’s just because Johnny is worried about him. EJ argues that Johnny is worried about Stefan without knowing what Stefan’s been doing to him. EJ adds that Stefan drugged his water at the office earlier but he was able to switch the bottles. Nicole asks how it affected him. EJ is not sure since he skipped out early again to see Gabi. EJ calls it the second wasted opportunity for Stefan to make a fool of himself at DiMera. Stefan then comes home and says he didn’t miss cocktail hour this time. Stefan then stumbles so EJ and Nicole rush to check on him. Stefan says he just got a little lightheaded. Nicole sits him down and gets him some water. Stefan talks about not knowing why he’s so out of it. EJ blames what Dr. Rolf did to him and it’s side effects or suggests there’s a flu going around. Stefan calls it strange and decides he will go upstairs, splash water on his face, and lay down. EJ tells him to feel better as Stefan then heads upstairs. EJ comments to Nicole that it seems the drug is having it’s effects. Nicole asks how long this is going to go on. EJ says as long as it takes. Nicole argues that if no one at DiMera sees Stefan like this, then it’s all for nothing. EJ responds that Nicole just gave him a brilliant idea.

Alex thanks Victor and says he knew he would see things his way as he hangs up. Maggie comes back and asks if she wasn’t clear that it’s not Alex’s chair anymore. Alex jumps up and apologizes. Maggie mentions that she went downstairs to inform the Bella staff that she is terminating the magazine but they were gone for the day, so she guesses she’ll have to do it tomorrow which Alex says sounds like a plan. Maggie remarks that she’s glad he approves. Maggie hopes that Alex respects her decision. Alex knows he’s the ex-CEO and points out that the only person with authority over her now is Victor. Maggie then gets a call from Victor and asks what she can do for him.

Gwen tells Xander that if he thinks there might be a chance for them, then of course she’s willing to wait. Gwen tells Xander that she loves him and understands if he needs to know that his marriage is over before he can move on. Leo enters and presents Xander with his final divorce decree. Xander questions how he got it so quickly. Leo says he was sweet talking the the guy with the records and he didn’t want to end up in his gossip column, so he expedited the papers. Xander questions him just giviing it to Leo. Leo asks if he’s doubting his charms. Leo then explains that he knew Xander was his boss, so he told him how eager Xander was to move on with his life and now he most certainly can. Xander doesn’t know what to say. Leo suggests thanking him so he does. Leo adds that now that Xander is finally free of Sarah, they can finally celebrate. Leo knows that Sarah rejected Xander and it still hurts, but reminds Xander that Sarah didn’t appreciate that everything he did was so he could support her and she responded by ratting him out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping his ass, while Gwen put her ass on the line for him and sacrificed her relationship with her father to take Xander’s side because that’s how much she cares about him. Gwen tells Leo he doesn’t need to. Leo knows he doesn’t have to sell her to him. Leo tells Xander that no one in his life will ever be as dedicated and loyal as Gwen. Leo adds that if he were Xander, he’d already have a ring on Gwen’s finger.

Maggie thanks Victor for calling and says she really appreciates his insight on this. Maggie hangs up and Alex asks what he wanted. Maggie responds that Victor wanted to talk to her about Bella. Alex asks what he said. Maggie reveals that Victor fully supports her decision to shut down the magazine which catches Alex by surprise. Maggie adds that she was curious how Victor even knew about her decision since she just made it today and Alex was the only one she discussed it with. Alex asks if she thinks he said something to Victor. Maggie then reveals that she knows he did because Victor told her so.

Tripp tells Johnny that if EJ wants his test results, he will have to come get them himself. Tripp adds that he has to go and walks off. Johnny says thanks for nothing and wonders how he’s going to figure out if his dad is lying to him. Johnny then notices that Tripp left his name badge behind, so he grabs it.

Wendy questions Wei approving of something she’s doing. Wendy asks what if she doesn’t care that Johnny is the DiMera heir. Wei says she doesn’t have to care, but he does. Wendy points out that Johnny doesn’t even want to follow in EJ’s footsteps, he wants to make movies. Wei argues that he’s still a DiMera and the heir apparent. Wei says the more time she spends with the DiMeras, the stronger their position will be.

Nicole asks EJ what his brilliant idea is. EJ brings up that Wei Shin is in town for a meeting. Nicole sees where he’s going now. EJ decides he will call Wei. Wei asks what he can do for him. EJ says it’s been a long time since they’ve broke bread, so he invites him over to the DiMera Mansion to dine with his co-CEOs. Wei agrees to be there immediately and they hang up. EJ informs Nicole that Wei is on his way, so now all they have to do is wait for the fireworks.

Wei goes to leave Wendy’s apartment right as Johnny arrives. Wei and Johnny greet each other. Wei notes that Wendy said some very good things about him. Wei says he will give them some privacy as he then exits. Johnny hopes he didn’t chase him off. Wendy assures that he didn’t and asks what’s up. Johnny wondered if she had a minute to take a look at something. Johnny reveals that he got in to the lab and got a copy of the test results EJ ordered on the drug but he has no idea what he’s looking for. Wendy questions how he got this. Johnny says he has his ways. Wendy says she’s an expert in cyber so she will cross search it in the dark web. Wendy gets a hit and says that EJ said it was some kind of recreational street drug but reveals it’s a rare drug that induces euphoria with a lot of nasty side effects. Johnny asks if she’s saying his dad lied to him. Wendy says she’s sorry but she thinks so.

EJ tells Nicole that this is perfect because when Stefan tries to drug him at dinner, he will turn the tables on him and then Stefan will make a fool of himself in front of Wei Shin. Nicole calls Wei the best person to witness his foolishness. EJ adds that Wei is notoriously thin on patience so Stefan could be unemployed by tomorrow. Nicole hopes so but asks if he really wants to do this under Mr. Shin’s nose since there’s more people that could witness him switching the drinks. EJ assures it’s a risk he’s willing to take. EJ adds that if the truth ever does come out, he didn’t drug anyone and it’s all on Stefan so his hands are clean.

Maggie tells Alex that according to Victor, Alex told him that she didn’t have enough experience to make it an informed decision. Maggie questions what he meant by calling to give Victor a heads up that his incompetent wife was making an uninformed decision. Alex says he definitely didn’t say that. Maggie asks if he seriously thought Victor would overrule her, side with him over his own wife, and not tell her that he went behind her back. Alex argues that he just strongly believes in the magazine and it’s nothing personal. Maggie brings up reminding him twice today that the CEO chair no longer belongs to him. Maggie declares that she is his boss and the CEO of this company. Alex says he respects that. Maggie questions if he does because his behavior says otherwise. Maggie adds that if Alex can’t accept the fact that she has the job that he thinks he’s entitled to, then he can resign now.

Leo decides his work is done and leaves Xander and Gwen to be alone. Gwen tells Xander that she’s sorry that Leo put Xander on the spot like that and assures that she didn’t put him up to it but admits he did have a few valid points. Xander agrees that Gwen did put everything on the line for him and sacrificed her own happiness to try and make it work for he and Sarah. Xander says he’s incredibly grateful for that and could never thank her enough but he thought in time, things would become clearer. Xander knows he promised her an answer when his divorce was final, but the truth is he’s still in love with Sarah and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever get over her. Xander adds that Gwen deserves someone who is going to love her with their whole heart. Xander tells Gwen that he’s sorry but he doesn’t think they can be together, at least not right now.

Johnny tells Wendy that it was bad enough thinking EJ or Stefan were using drugs but now thinking EJ is drugging Stefan after everything that Stefan has been through. Johnny wonders what that could do if EJ gets caught. Wendy points out that they still don’t know what’s going on and brings up Nicole saying Stefan’s fingerprints were on the vial. Johnny argues that they don’t know that for sure now since Nicole is sleeping with EJ, so she’d lie for him in a heartbeat. Wendy remembers that EJ called her dad and invited him over for dinner. Wendy wonders if EJ is planning to drug Stefan to get him to make a fool of himself in front of Wei. Johnny believes that’s exactly the plan. Johnny decides that he’s not going to just sit here and do nothing about it. Johnny then calls Stefan and says he hates to tell him this, but he thinks somebody might be drugging him.

Wei Shin arrives at the DiMera Mansion. EJ brings him in to the living room to Nicole. Wei praises Nicole doing an excellent job at Basic Black but mentions hearing that her co-CEO was arrested for kidnapping. Nicole says they are confident the charges will be dropped. EJ adds that they are cooperating with police so they don’t have any scandals on their watch. EJ then confides in Wei that he’s rather worried about Stefan because he’s afraid that what Dr. Rolf did to him may have taken it’s toll on him as he doesn’t seem to be himself. Wei says he hasn’t heard any word about Stefan’s behavior at work, but he’s heard plenty about EJ’s.

Xander apologizes to Gwen and hopes she understands. Gwen responds that she doesn’t understand. Gwen says when there’s blackmail to be done or a dead body to hide, he has no problem turning to her but she is never the person he would take home to meet his mother as she’s just someone to have a couple laughs with and run schemes with but he’d never actually commit to her. Xander reminds Gwen that he was going to marry her until she drugged Sarah. Gwen shouts that he killed Susan Banks while Xander retorts that she killed Laura Horton which Gwen calls an accident. Gwen argues that the point is that he is no better than her and never will be. Gwen complains that Xander puts Sarah on a pedestal because he thinks she will never measure up to her. Gwen asks if that’s what Xander thinks. Xander admits that maybe it is. Gwen is glad he finally had the guts to admit it.

Stefan asks Johnny who he thinks is drugging him and why. Johnny says he can’t get in to all the details and advises him to just be careful what he eats and drinks, especially tonight. Stefan says he needs more information but Johnny says that’s all he’s got right now. Johnny tells Stefan to take care and hangs up. Johnny then tells Wendy that he hopes he did the right thing. Stefan says EJ’s name and laughs.

Wei tells EJ that it seems that he’s more a danger to the company after that debacle at the press conference and says his portfolio is still recovering. EJ apologizes and says he’s not one to make excuses, but says he had a flu and insists he’s fine now. EJ adds that he’s afraid Stefan may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been through. Wei questions if EJ invited him over so he could see for himself. EJ says he invited him as their guest, but he does think Wei will be concerned about what he witnesses. Stefan then enters the living room, surprised to see Wei. EJ informs him that he invited Wei to dinner. Stefan notes that EJ didn’t mention that before. EJ calls it a spur of the moment decision and asks how Stefan is feeling. Stefan says he’s much better and thanks him. Stefan offers to make Wei a drink and then decides he’ll make a round for all of them. Stefan then drugs a glass.

Maggie complains about in fighting, especially when family members do it to each other which is why the Titan CEO merry go round ends here with her. Maggie asks Alex if he can deal with it. Alex assures that he can and he’s not quitting. Alex is sorry that they got off to a rocky start but says he’s proud of the work he did with Bella and developed personal relationships with employees. Maggie decides if he feels that strongly about it, maybe he should be the one to break the news to them. Alex questions her wanting him to fire the staff. Maggie says in the meantime, she wants him to bring her all the accounts he’s in charge of so she can review them. Maggie warns Alex that if he ever goes behind her back again to Victor, she will fire him and the next time, she won’t be joking.

Gwen states that Xander was brutally honest with her so now she will be brutally honest with him. Gwen admits that maybe she was an idiot to hold out hope for them. Xander disagrees and calls her beautiful, smart, and sensitive but Gwen tells him not to patronize her. Gwen declares that she doesn’t want to be Xander’s friend or business partner. Gwen doesn’t know how to come in to work every day and see his face when she just wants to claw his eyes out right now because whether he meant to or not, he led her on. Xander apologizes for handling things very poorly. Xander wants to fix it because he’s obviously hurt her very badly. Xander declares that this is her dad’s paper, so she should be the one to run it and he knows she’ll do a bang up job without him. Xander says goodbye to Gwen and then exits the office.

Xander goes to the Titan office. Maggie is surprised to see him since their follow up interview is tomorrow. Xander says he just came by to let her know that someone else might handle that interview, since he took her advice to have a candid talk with Gwen about their future. Maggie guesses it didn’t go well. Xander confirms that he doesn’t think it could’ve gone any worse.

Gwen goes to the Bistro and starts drinking. Alex arrives and asks if she had a bad day. Gwen calls it the worst. Alex tells her to join the club as he sits at her table.

Wendy asks Johnny how Stefan took the news. Johnny says he wanted to know more but he couldn’t just out his own father. Wendy wonders if Stefan will think it’s EJ anyway. Johnny notes that it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch. Johnny guesses he will have to confront EJ because you can’t do something that underhanded and expect to get away with it. Tripp then comes home and asks if Johnny means like what he just did to him.

Stefan brings drinks to Wei, Nicole, and EJ. Nicole points out that he forgot the olives. Stefan goes to check, so EJ switches he and Stefan’s drinks. Stefan sees that they must be out of olives. EJ goes over to check himself, allowing Stefan to then switch he and EJ’s drinks back behind EJ’s back. EJ finds the olives so Stefan comments that he doesn’t know how he missed them. EJ guesses he must still be feeling off but Stefan assures the nap did him just right. Stefan then proposes a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises and they each take a drink.

Gabi walked over to Li and Stefan told him the kiss was one-sided. He lied to Li and said that he tried to get Gabi to break their contract. Gabi played along with him and said that she was going to honor their contract. Li told him there was a stipulation. If she cheats on him, their contract was null and void. Li told Gabi it would be a shame to lose all that power and shares because Stefan couldn’t keep his hands off of her. He said it would look bad if they even looked like they were having an affair. Li and Gabi walked off while Stefan faltered. Sloan kissed Eric when she saw him talking to Nicole. Nicole called her a tramp, and Sloan called her out her name.

At the pub, Leo ran into Chad. Leo asked him about what was going on at Titan. Chad said he didn’t have any gossip for him. Leo kept asking him for a comment. Chad said Leo going to Victor about Alex’s sex life was why he wasn’t CEO. Leo asked if Alex being a man wh*re was why he didn’t get CEO. Chad said he wouldn’t use that term, but it probably was. Stephanie showed up and wanted to know what was going on. Leo asked her about what was going on with Titan. She didn’t tell him what was going on. He asked her about what broke up her relationship with Alex. Chad said Alex was the reason why she didn’t get a chance to say goodbye to her mother. Stephanie made Leo leave. She wanted to know what was wrong with Chad. He apologized for telling Leo about her mother. She asked him about the stuff he said about Alex. He said he was wrong, but he was glad that Alex didn’t get the CEO position. She asked if he was trying to sabotage their biggest client because he is afraid, she couldn’t be professional with her ex-boyfriend. He said he didn’t say that. She told him to figure out how to communicate properly. Alex thought about Stephanie while he was at Titan. Maggie came in and told him he was at her desk.

Billy: I love this.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Billy: It’s like a whole separate world.

Chelsea: Yeah. And each area of concern for our hero is a different style.

Billy: Yeah, family, work, romance. I get it. It’s all here.

Chelsea: Right. Right. So, part of the challenge is balancing the three.

Billy: And that depends on the stage in the life of the hero.

Chelsea: Yep.

Billy: It’s — it’s great.

Chelsea: Yes!

Billy: You’re really onto something.

Chelsea: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’m good. Well, come on in.

Chloe: Okay. Thanks.

Billy: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hi. Um, look who’s here. I — I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize that you had company. Is this a bad time?

Nikki: I was so happy to get your invitation. We haven’t been able to catch up in a while.

Summer: I know. That’s my fault. Um, things have been really hectic lately.

Nikki: Hectic? What’s bothering you, honey? Or do I already know?

Summer: It’s — it’s dad and the situation with sally.

Nikki: That makes two of us. I don’t understand why he wants to get mixed up with a person whose life is so chaotic. I mean, what does he see in her? Everything else in the rest of his life is great. But leave it to sally spectra to bring on the trouble.

Summer: Especially now, with a baby on the way.

Nikki: Baby? What baby?

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?

Sally: Well, I was just waiting in limbo for so long to, you know, tell adam about the baby. And now that I have, I need to focus on other things in my life, like my career. You know, chloe and I are prepping for a follow-up meeting with jill. Of course, we’re just — you know, it’s more about jill’s schedule right now, unless victor decides to tank us again.

Nick: Don’t you worry about that. I’m planning on using my legendary strength to make sure he stays the hell out of that.

Sally: Well, thank you.

Nick: It would be nice to lock in a contract with chancellor-winters, though.

Sally: Oh, yeah. They would be a huge client. I mean, they have tons of offices and restaurants and hotels, all kinds of properties that could use interior design. And I really actually want to tour some of them so I could start to have an idea about, like, the function, the colors, the textures. That way, chloe and I have specific recommendations we can give to jill and impress her all over again.

Nick: That’s excellent thinking. Where are all these properties? And would you like to use the newman jet to get to them?

Sally: [ Laughs ] Yeah, I’m sure that would go over really big with victoria.

Nick: I’m the coo. I can reserve the jet whenever the hell I want.

Sally: Well, that is very generous of you. I really appreciate the gesture. But no thank you. We are gonna fly commercial.

Nick: Are you sure?

Sally: Yeah. I mean, our research has absolutely nothing to do with newman, so we’re not entitled to the newman perks, and that includes riding on a fancy corporate jet, especially from you. I mean, our… we’re not in that stage of our relationship yet.

Nick: Fair enough.

Adam: Uh, hope I’m not interrupting.

Sally: Uh, adam, we were actually having a private conversation.

Adam: Ah, okay. Well, this will just take a few minutes of your time. Um, I have not been able to stop thinking about the baby, and i have a proposition for you, one that I hope you will seriously consider.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m gonna get out of here.

Chelsea: Well, it was sweet of you to stop by.

Chloe: Well, please do not leave on my account.

Billy: No, no, it’s okay. I don’t want to overstay my welcome.

Chelsea: You could never overstay your welcome. But since chloe’s here…

Billy: I got errands to do. I’m gonna pop downstairs, grab a coffee, and then go do what I need to do.

Chelsea: Oh.

Billy: Good to see you.

Chloe: You too.

Billy: You’re amazing. I’ll, uh — I’ll be in touch.

Chelsea: Okay.

Billy: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Sally: Well, what exactly are you suggesting?

Adam: Um, look, I just want to make things as easy as I can for you.

Sally: In what sense?

Adam: Look [Sighs] It’s important that you and our child are settled and you’re comfortable from the very beginning, so… I would like to buy you a house.

Sally: A house?

Adam: Yeah. I mean, you weren’t planning on staying in this hotel forever, were you?

Sally: Well, no. I mean, obviously, I would like more room. I just haven’t gotten around to, you know, beginning the process, calling realtors, looking at properties.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, I mean, i understand it’s the beginning stages. Feels like you have all the time in the world, but, you know, time is gonna start flying by before you know it. I mean, doesn’t it make sense to find a house and move in and get ready before the baby arrives? I mean, you could use your design skills to put your own stamp on it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam —

Adam: Please let me do this for you. I know your folks moved around a lot when you were a kid and they never gave you a place to call home. But you and our child — you can have a nursery to read bedtime stories. You can have a yard to play in, a wall with pictures and happy memories. You know, everything that you dreamed of as a child. I want to help make that happen.

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.

Summer: This is the thing, grandma. He’s not wallowing in self-pity. Dad is actually still seeing sally.

Nikki: They’re not breaking up?

Summer: [ Exhales sharply ] I guess this thing with adam was a one-time occasion and sally doesn’t have any desire to get back together with him.

Nikki: Oh, no, sure. Why should she? She can have nicholas.

Summer: I actually think that I’m the most upset about all of this. And I kind of blew up at sally. I told her how selfish I thought she was being and how she’s using my dad. And then dad came over and told me how wrong I was and how this hasn’t changed his feelings for sally at all.

Nikki: Unbelievable. He is too noble for his own good.

Summer: I know, right? It’s like he can’t see what’s going on, and it kills me.

Nikki: Trust me. I know exactly how you feel.

Summer: I wish that this could all work out for dad. I really do but when I play it out in my head, there’s really only one word that could sum it up.

Nikki: “Disaster.” I mean, how can he think that they can stay together when she is having his brother’s child? And I can only imagine what adam thinks about all of this.

[ Sighs ] If only there were a way that nicholas could walk away now, before it gets more complicated.

Summer: Maybe there is.

…I’m over 45.

Nikki: I would dearly love to get nicholas out of this, but i worry that any kind of maneuver would backfire. I mean, in the past, whenever i told him I had issues with the woman in his life, he just digs in his heels. I mean, if he feels so strongly about sally, in spite of this situation, I think it’s gonna be very hard to change his mind.

Summer: I agree. But what if something in their relationship were to drastically change and he realized that it would be better to end it sooner rather than later?

Nikki: Change how?

Summer: Like if sally fell back in love with adam.

Nikki: Okay. And then what?

Summer: Sally was heartbroken when adam dumped her. I mean, that’s the reason why she glommed on to dad in the first place. And we all know that adam’s not over her. So, maybe deep down, she still cares for him, too.

Nikki: I wouldn’t doubt that.

Summer: So, if I could pull this off, it would be sort of a service to two people who belong together.

Nikki: Oh, my god, yes. I mean, that would be ideal. But there are two obstacles that you need to consider.

Summer: What are they?

Nikki: Whatever lingering feelings sally may have for adam, she has decided to keep him at arm’s length. So that tells me that her walls are up pretty high.

Summer: Walls can be climbed. You just have to have the right tools and motivation. What’s the other one?

Nikki: No one is more charming than your father when he is infatuated with someone. So it’s unlikely that adam would be able to win her heart without a lot of help and a whole lot of luck.

Sally: Adam, your offer is very generous, but… I’m — I’m gonna have to say no.

Adam: Well, I’m sorry to hear that.

Nick: This is what she was worried about, you overstepping.

Adam: Uh, no, I was just trying to provide for my child and his or her mother. It’s what any decent person would do.

Sally: Okay, you know what? You actually are both just thinking a little bit too big today, too grandiose, and worse yet, you’re actually thinking for me.

Nick: No, no, no, sally, that’s not —

Sally: No, hey, look, I don’t hold it against you — really. I know you’re both trying to be supportive, and you’re actually being very sweet in your own way, but I would like to make my own decisions about how I travel and where I live and, you know, everything else in my life. In fact, I actually insist on it, so… anyway, if you guys will excuse me, I-I really have work to do.

Chelsea: Lemon?

Chloe: Um, no.

Chelsea: Sugar?

Chloe: I’m good. Though I do appreciate you being such a gracious host when i clearly interrupted something when I showed up.

Chelsea: What are you talking about?

Chloe: The second I walked in, I picked up on a very strong vibe.

Chelsea: A vibe?

Chloe: Yeah. Between you and billy. You were all flushed. You’ve never been a very big blusher.

Chelsea: What? No, that’s — no. Um, billy and I were excited because we were talking about the new video game idea.

Chloe: Oh, yeah. That’s what got you all flustered.

Chelsea: Chloe! It’s true.

Chloe: You can be honest with me. There’s no judgment. Is there something going on with you and billy?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I honestly don’t know how to define it. And I don’t know if I want to. There are these feelings that have been growing between us. Strong feelings.

[ Sighs ] And I think it’s taken us both by surprise.

Billy: You know what? Make it a double. Gonna live life dangerously.

Sharon: I’ve heard that about you.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] My secret’s out.

Sharon: I noticed that you came from the direction of chelsea’s place. Is she well?

Billy: She is. She’s very well, actually. She’s working on a new project.

Sharon: Oh, really?

Billy: Have you heard of, uh, what daniel romalotti’s putting together?

Sharon: The gaming platform. Yeah, that sounds really intriguing.

Billy: Yeah, it is. She, uh — she pitched him an idea, and he’s looking into developing it.

Sharon: Oh, wow! Well, that sounds wonderful. I’m sure that’ll give her a boost.

Billy: Yeah, definitely. Among other things.

Sharon: Yeah? Like what? The two of you? Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Summer: Thank you for lunch.

Nikki: Oh, you are so welcome.

Sally: Hello.

Nikki: Well, sally. What a coincidence. Summer was just telling me your big news.

Summer: Oh, but don’t worry. My grandma will keep it in the circle of trust.

Nikki: Oh, yes. For the baby’s sake. Frankly, uh, it was not news that I expected.

Sally: Yeah, I’m sure it wasn’T. I was caught off guard myself.

Nikki: Well, I have so many things to say, but I would have no idea where to begin.

Sally: It’s okay. I have a feeling I know what you’re thinking.

Nikki: Good. That saves us both some time. I have to be leaving. Summer, darling, I will see you later.

Summer: Bye, grandma. Thank you again for meeting me.

Nikki: Of course.

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

Summer: Are you, um, on your own?

Sally: Uh, no. I’m meeting chloe in a little bit, but I just thought I’d get some work done.

Summer: Well, hey, um, why don’t I stay and you join me?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Why? So you can go on more about what a tramp and a chaotic mess I am?

Summer: So I can apologize.

Billy: You know, just to be clear, I’m not ignoring the advice you gave me earlier about, you know, what could be potentially developing between chelsea and me. I’m on board. Slow and steady, proceed with caution, all of that. And she’s, you know, talking to her therapist throughout this whole time, so she’s on top of it.

Sharon: Well, I’m relieved to hear that because chelsea needs to navigate this very carefully for herself and for your sake, for connor and johnny and katie.

Billy: I agree. We’re not an island. And if — if we take this relationship to the next level, it’s gonna affect the people we love. And most importantly, we’ve got to make sure that the kids are okay with it.

Sharon: You know, I didn’t mean to sound negative.

Billy: No, no, no, no. I appreciate everything you do for us — really. And I respect your professionalism. I know you only want what’s best for us.

Sharon: I really do. And my opinion doesn’t just come from my training. I’ve been in a similar situation myself. After I had my breakdown, I clung to adam. And what we experienced, the things that he did for me — it created a very intense bond between us. That didn’t mean that we were supposed to be together. But for a while there, the emotional lines were very blurred for me and it was hard to let go of him, even though i knew that was what was best for both of us. So, the last thing that I would want to see happen is for chelsea or you to go through that kind of pain.

Chloe: Billy saved your life. And not like “thanks for the help, you’re a life-saver” kind of way. I mean — I mean he actually saved your life. So I can understand why the two of you have developed some feelings for each other.

Chelsea: Yeah. And he’s been there for me every single day since. An incredible source of comfort. But this isn’t just gratitude. He — he makes me hopeful. He makes me excited about the future. And I feel like I can be myself around him, knowing that whatever I say, he understands.

Chloe: Look, I’m really glad that he can be that person for you. I am, but…you know, you and billy were together years ago.

Chelsea: Mm. We were engaged.

Chloe: Yeah, I know, um… but you were both coming off of tragedies. You know, you — you found each other. You found strength in each other. And things ended badly. And if I could be frank, I think it’s because you didn’t love billy with your entire heart and soul.

Chelsea: You’re right. Back then, I thought adam was the love of my life, and i thought I had lost him forever. I wasn’t over him, not by a long shot.

Chloe: So, as incredible as billy has been with you, I have to ask, as your friend — is it really what you think it is? (Vo) oh look! Glorious progresso soup.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Not flossing well?

Summer: Look, sally, the last time I saw you, I was really upset and I crossed some lines. What I said to you was cruel and wrong and just plain mean. And I’m sorry.

Sally: Thank you.

Summer: Now that I’ve had time to cool down, I’ve realized that I’ve got to just accept that you’re an important part of my dad’s life. And if that’s the case, then i need to find a way for you and i to get along. And, look, I’m not saying that it’s gonna be easy or that we’re gonna be besties anytime soon, but I have no interest in an ongoing battle that’s just gonna hurt all of us.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, I would love to find a way to, you know, make things work. And since you are extending yourself, I will meet you halfway.

Summer: I appreciate that.

Sally: Look, I-I know that this must have been really jarring for you. And I know that you just want to protect your father.

Summer: I can’t help but want to look out for him. And it brings me to a question that I’ve been wondering about, if you don’t mind me asking.

Sally: Go ahead.

Summer: How is adam taking the news?

Sally: I think he’s excited to be a father again.

Summer: Mm. I figured he would be. But what I meant is, um, how is he handling that you and my dad are gonna stay together? I assume he’s not thrilled.

Sally: That’s a safe assumption.

Summer: He probably feels like he should be the one by your side right now?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I-I think that’s what he wants.

Summer: The thing about adam is he can be relentless when he wants something.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Look, I asked you to stay because we obviously need to find a way to navigate this situation.

Nick: Agreed.

Adam: Mm-hmm. You know, it’s like we get on the same page, we start to understand each other, and then we will clash over something and we end up right back where we started.

Nick: Well, it’s not always my fault, adam.

Adam: Okay. Nor is it mine. Look, it’s frustrating for us, but it’s not good for sally. We don’t want to aggravate her in the condition that she’s in. She won’t stand for it.

Nick: Well, I can’t argue with any of that.

Adam: Okay. Well, the reality is I’m gonna be a part of this baby’s life — and sally’s — and you intend to be just as involved. So, you know, where does that leave us?

Nick: We’re just brothers who don’t agree on much…except we both care for this woman. She shouldn’t have to deal with our issues. So, yeah, we need to come up with some common ground.

Adam: And how do you propose we do that?

Nick: I don’t know. But I know we’re both capable. So, if we both make a good-faith effort, we should be able to come up with something.

Nikki: Thank you both for coming.

Michael: Oh, it was no trouble at all, nikki.

Nikki: Um, there’s tea, if you’d like a cup, or if you’d like something else?

Lauren: Oh, no. Tea is wonderful. Thank you.

Nikki: Help yourself.

Lauren: Thanks, darling. Um, I’m assuming that we’re here to get our assignments for the gala.

Michael: Ah!

Nikki: Well, yes, as vice chair, I will be meeting privately with everyone on the planning committee.

Michael: Oh, I’m gonna enjoy being part of this, seeing how it all comes together instead of just showing up the night of in a tux.

Lauren: You see, my darling, how much fun you’d have if you were retired?

Nikki: Well, I have to say, after all the charity work I’ve done over the years, this particular event really has so much meaning.

Lauren: Mm-hmm. Well, it’s our town’s bicentennial celebration. I mean, 200 years since the founding of genoa city.

Michael: Ah. How time flies.

Nikki: Yes, it does. And the gala is gonna be here before we know it.

Michael: Alright, nikki, we’re at your service. Put us to work.

Lauren: Yep. What is it this year? Do you want marketing, pr, ticket sales, silent auction?

Nikki: Well, I thought you might enjoy a change of pace. I was hoping the two of you could work as a team, handling the catering, signing off on the menu, the signature cocktails, directing the chef and the head of the waitstaff.

Lauren: Oh, this sounds like fun.

Nikki: Yeah, I think it will be.

Michael: I will happily taste every dish, including dessert.

Lauren: And thank goodness i have a staff of tailors who will be taking out his pants afterwards.

Nikki: Ah, good idea. Well, we have been working on quite the guest list.

Lauren: Oh, I don’t think i told you. It’s a masked ball.

Michael: Oh! Elegant mask, formal attire, that kind of look?

Nikki: Exactly.

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Alright.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness. Do you remember that costume ball we did?

Nikki: Ah!

Lauren: I mean, how many years ago was that?

Nikki: Oh, it’s been a long time, but I remember it like it was yesterday.

Lauren: And katherine was queen of hearts…

Nikki: Oh, yes.

Lauren: …And rex the mad hatter. And I was marie antoinette.

Michael: Ooh la la. Sounds very lavish.

Lauren: Like you wouldn’t believe.

Michael: Who else was there?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Uh, christine was the blond bombshell.

Nikki: Ohh, yes.

Lauren: And jack, you know, prince charming. Hello? Hello?

Michael: Of course. Of course he was. And victor was…?

Lauren: Roman conqueror.

Nikki: Absolutely.

Michael: Very apropos.

Lauren: Oh, ashley abbott was a stunning scheherazade, and jill made quite a spectacle, arriving as cleopatra with two half-naked, very hot men who proceeded to fan her all night with very large ostrich feathers.

Nikki: I remember. Just know that this year’s event will be more toned down.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Aw.

Lauren: Just a little. Just a little. Just a tad.

Nikki: So, michael, while i have you here, I’d love to hear your take on tucker mccall. What’s happening with him and his company?

Michael: Ahh. We were having so much fun reminiscing and party planning.

Nikki: Yes, we were. But now I have some questions about him and his business. So, I’m looking to you for some answers. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Sally: Well, all things considered, adam is handling the situation pretty well. You know, he knows we’ll be parents together and that’s it, and pushing for more would alienate me, which would make it difficult to function in our child’s best interest. And neither of us want to be those parents. So, the short answer is, yeah, adam is behaving himself.

Summer: Good. I’m glad to hear that his priorities are in order. But still, it’s got to be hard for you.

Sally: You know, I just have to say that your interest and concern is very different than it was the other day.

Summer: Like I said, i just —

Sally: Yeah, you’re protective of nick. Totally makes sense. But still, it’s just really abrupt. I can’t help wondering if there’s more to your sudden change of heart.

Adam: Boy, I never would have thought that this would be the thing that would force us to be more harmonious.

Nick: Well, this is where we are, adam.

Adam: We have more in common than either one of us is willing to admit. I mean, just the fact that victor is our father, for one. There’s few people on the planet that can appreciate the complexities that go along with that.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s true. The way you’ve been talking lately, it makes it seem like you see him in a more positive light.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, it’s taken some time. But, yeah, I think I’m coming around to the idea that he knows me better than I thought. And he might actually want to do right by me. I imagine you’re up to date on newman’s plan to acquire mccall unlimited? And you know if that happens that victor is gonna keep it a separate entity and put me in charge?

Nick: Yeah, I just didn’t know if he had talked to you about it yet.

Adam: Well, assuming that happens and everything goes through, are you okay with that? Or is that gonna be something else that we have to overcome?

Nikki: I want to know whatever you know about victor’s plans to get a hold of mccall. I assume you know about this. At this point, it’s not confidential.

Lauren: Right. I’m up to speed.

Michael: No, I have no updates for you, nikki. There’s been no movement on that front. Tucker has still not agreed to sell to newman.

Nikki: So, it’s not imminent.

Lauren: You don’t want this acquisition to happen?

Nikki: Oh, no, I’m fine with the acquisition. It’s what might happen afterward that I am concerned about. Victor has this plan. He wants to put adam in charge, have him report only to victor, bypassing victoria. I mean, she wants to dismantle his company and fold it into the flagship.

Lauren: Oh. That sounds very tense.

Nikki: Yeah, well, things are volatile enough between adam, victoria, and nicholas on a good day.

Lauren: Say no more.

Nikki: Yeah. Our family has enough to deal with right now. I don’t want to add any more tension. Ugh. Victor and his plans.

Michael: Have you spoken to victor about this?

Nikki: I have voiced my thoughts about adam, to no avail. That’s why I would like you to help me in stopping this.

Chloe: I hope I didn’t upset you. I just — [ Sighs ] You have made such incredible progress. I would hate to see anything derail that.

Chelsea: You didn’t upset me, chloe. You’re being a good friend. You’re asking all the right questions. Trust me — I’ve asked myself the same ones.

Chloe: Okay, good.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Whatever’s going on between billy and me, it’s both exhilarating and terrifying — because I don’t want to mess this up.

Chloe: That’s understandable.

Chelsea: I mean, am I ready for more than friendship? Should I be? I don’t know. I just know that this connection I have with him feels new and different than anything I’ve felt for anybody. And, yes, different than what i felt for billy before.

Chloe: And I’m so glad to hear it.

Chelsea: I’m drawn to him, chloe.

[ Sighs ] It’s a pull that’s hard to ignore..and hard not to act on.

Billy: Thank you for opening up about your past like that. I appreciate it. And I know that was heartfelt. And it’s a good reminder to keep my wits about me, you know where chelsea is concerned.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad that it was helpful.

Billy: But, you know, sharon, our story isn’t yours and adam’s story. You know, we’ve been honest with each other about everything through all of this. And I’m not gonna hurt her. No one’s gonna get hurt here. Whatever chelsea and I have, it just feels right. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining: Because I was hoping I could

Michael: I sympathize with your concern for your family, but I do not want to be caught in the middle of this. I’ll be happy to assist victor in any acquisition-related issues, consult on the legal status, but what happens to mcall after that — that’s way above my pay grade.

Nikki: Oh, that’s too bad because I was hoping I could count on you as an ally.

Michael: Well, think of me as switzerland without the chocolate.

Lauren: Do you realize the position you’re putting michael in?

Nikki: Yes, lauren, i understand that. But that doesn’t mean I’m gonna sit back and accept defeat.

Nick: Dad just loves to talk about the acquisition like it’s a done deal, but trust me — it is not.

Adam: Well, victor’s never been accused of having a confidence problem.

Nick: If we manage to snag mccall, I have no problem whatsoever with you off running it somewhere on the side. In fact, I would prefer it if you never came back to newman enterprises.

Adam: Really? I’m stunned.

Nick: Mm-hmm. If you remain autonomous, i believe it will keep conflict to a minimum.

Adam: Look, once again, we’re on the same page. Uh, unfortunately, victoria is not as open to that concept as you are.

Nick: Have you talked to her about it?

Adam: No. I asked dad what her response was, and he said that, uh, he’ll take care of it, which tells me she’s definitely not on board.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You’re surprised by that?

Adam: No. Just trying to find out how big of a fight I have on my hands.

Nick: Have you ever known vick to back down from a fight? Sure, adam, dad’s got grand plans for you. But vick’s your ultimate roadblock.

Summer: Sally, I’m trying to be a better person here.

Sally: So, you just had this epiphany and decided to embrace it?

Summer: I needed a little push. My dad and I had a long talk, and… growing up, he wasn’t ever the kind of dad that would yell, but when he was upset with me, he would give me this look and i would know that he was disappointed. And I hated that look. And he brought it out, and… it just made me see things from another perspective.

Sally: So, you’re trying to get along with me to not disappoint your father?

Summer: Yeah.

Sally: I can appreciate that.

Summer: Look, while we’re putting all of our cards on the table, I still have reservations about you and my dad.

Sally: ‘Cause you think I’m not good enough for him.

Summer: No. Because I always thought that you and adam are a better match.

Sally: Why? Because you think so little of both of us?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] I mean, maybe in the past i thought that, but even then, i could see how good you two were together. It was like you inspired each other to be your best selves, and, honestly, it made you both a little easier to take. You got into a lot less trouble together than you did apart. And — I don’t know — something about the relationship just seemed to work.

Sally: And you don’t get that same vibe between me and your father?

Summer: I’m not saying that. All I care about is that my dad is happy, and if you can be the woman that does that, fantastic. But I’m not gonna lie to you, sally. The adam factor bothers me. It just feels like you two aren’t done with each other yet. And it’s not just that you seemed good together in the past. It’s that you’re pregnant with his baby and you two were together once and all of these months? What are the odds of that? It’s like the universe is trying to say something. It’s as though you two are… meant to be.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Adam: I might actually end up being the ceo of your empire.

Tucker: Over my dead body.

Elena: But tell me — what’s going on with you and victoria?

Jack: I proposed to diane. And, lucky me, she accepted.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t have to cook for me. And grilled cheese. You went all out. Well, I figured, after last night and this morning, you might be hungry. Mm. Okay, look, I have been told by more than one person that I am not a great listener. And no one told me directly that your husband’s garage had been sold. I just randomly overheard part of a conversation.

[ Sighs ] I had zero context of anything that was being said, so odds are likely that I got it wrong. Let’s start with the basics — like who did you hear discussing brando’s garage? Gladys: What kind of question is that, “is sasha good with me selling the garage?” Gladys, that’s not an answer. I don’t know why you’re so worked up. Okay, let me just make it clear right now that this is not me being worked up. But i can be worked up…

[Whispering] If you don’t give me an answer. Well, this is a surprise. What brings you here? Well, I was hoping to have lunch with one of the owners, and I’m not talking about olivia. You have time for me? Well, I’m going to have to check my calendar. Why, as a matter of fact, I have an opening. You know, I think we’re way overdue for a proper catch-up. I want to hear about all the developments in your life. Oh, I don’t know about that. Careful what you wish for. So, this form states that the pcpd has returned all the items taken from the quartermaine boathouse as evidence in the investigation when ava jerome was attacked near the boathouse. Just need your signature, and, uh, I’ll be out of your hair. Glad to put this behind us once and for all. Thank you for catching the woman who killed brando and so many others. My sympathies for everything your family’s going through. And, uh, for the challenges still to come. Maxie: Ned! It is so perfect that you are the one who answered the door. Come on in, maxie. So, what brings you by? As a matter of fact… you. Carly: Oh, my gosh. We made quite a mess last night.

[ Laughs ] Wow. Yeah. [ Laughs ] I’d say it was worth it. Oh, yes. I can’t believe we’re just now leaving the bedroom. Well, it’s not every day we get the house to ourselves. I feel like we’re kind of obligated to take advantage of that. We are. Yeah. Yeah. Mm, you know what? Hmm? Sooner or later, you’re going to have to clean this up. How ’bout later?

[ Laughs ]

I have to leave soon. Right. Your mystery boss needs evidence against sonny. Michael: Forget about the pikeman update. If — if sonny’s talking to you about his past, you got nothing to worry about. You know, I can make a lot more than grilled cheese sandwiches. Oh, what? Egg salad? Pb and j? That…

[ Chuckles ] …And grilled salmon with grilled asparagus marinated in truffle oil. Oh, so you can cook. And you’re just now telling me this. Why have you been holding out on me? I ate so many mres in afghanistan that I promised myself I’d learn to cook when I got back to the states. Mres — that’s meals ready-to-eat? They’re packaged to withstand rough conditions, exposure to the elements. They’ll keep you fed, but they are not exactly fine dining. Oh, so you can cook now that you discovered truffle oil? Yeah. Adds depth and flavor. I’ll make you grilled asparagus sometime. It’s too cold to grill. But it won’t be this summer. Oh, so… …you think we’ll still be doing this, this summer? The job should be over by then. And I can spend every minute getting closer to you without worrying about sonny. I can’t wait. Me, either. Will I see you later? Count on it. I’ll walk you out. I hope you don’t mind. Maxie told me about your illness. I’m so sorry about everything you’re going through. Especially so soon after the birth of that adorable baby.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that is — that’s very kind of you, mac. Hopefully, there may be some good news on the horizon. I might have a match with a bone marrow donor. That’s terrific. I’ll pray that everything works out. I will take all the prayers I can get. [ Chuckles ] I want as much time with my family as possible. Congratulations on amelia. She’s beautiful. Thank you. Yeah, I think so, too. You know, I might be just a little bit biased.

[ Chuckles ] No, she’s gorgeous. Children are a blessing. Enjoy your time with them. It goes by really fast.

[ Door opens ] Ah. Case in point. Really, I blink one day, and maxie’s all grown up. Oh, moral of the story — don’t blink.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, what are you doing here? I had some police business to finish up. Oh, that’s a good thing, because I have a big announcement for all of you. I ran into your mother-in-law. Gladys? Have you two even met? How — how did you know it was her? I — at some point in the conversation, it came out that her last name was corbin, and she was talking about selling a garage that belonged to her daughter-in-law. So it wasn’t hard to put together. And then what? Look, I-I…

[ Sighs ] I just got the distinct impression that she was trying to sell the garage. I had been afraid that she would sell the garage without consulting me. But I told myself I was just being paranoid. I can’t believe she actually did it. Is there anything I can do? Yes. You can tell me who she was selling the garage to. Last time we talked, you were so eager to sell the garage that you wanted me to convince sasha to get on board. How do I know that you didn’t badger her into taking the offer? Is that really what you think about me? Let me just say this. I know how ms. Wu…operates when she sets her sights on something. And if she is pressuring you, I can help you. But you’ve got to tell me what’s going on. I’m sorry I didn’t stick around last night. Oh, that’s okay. I know that you wanted to see willow. Well, I-I sp-spent the night with sonny, but I am so glad that you decided to stay at my place. You know? It’s just, with all the drama happening at wyndemere… yeah. Even with ryan dead, I — I just don’t feel safe there on that island all by myself. Yeah, anyone in their right mind would need a little break from wyndemere for a while. Yeah. And you don’t even know the whole story. You’re welcome to stay with me as long as you want to. I can only imagine what you’re going through. And sonny mentioned that nikolas threatened to take avery? Th-that — that was just a miscommunication, really. So tell me how — how things went with willow last night. Um, better. Better than I had hoped. You know, she finally opened up to me about the specifics of her health issues. Hey, well, ain’t that something? Well, liesl asked her to do it, and willow’s very grateful to aunt liesl, so she honored her request. But I don’t care. I don’T. I’m climbing the walls wondering what’s happening to her. And maybe this is — this little thaw is a step in the right direction. Yeah, I hope so. And how about sonny? How are things with sonny? Oh, they’re fine. “Fine”? Oh. Is there trouble in paradise? Yes. Only it’s not my paradise. Whose? Carly.

You don’t have to worry about selina wu — or me. You know how much I love my daughter-in-law, and I want to do right by brando. I always have sasha’s best interests at heart. Alright, listen. I got some business to take care of. As for you, you better know what you’re doing. Who owns the garage now? I really don’t want to get any more involved. But I-I-I don’t want to lie to you, either.

[ Sighs ] Like I said, I just overheard part of a conversation. I just — I really think that you need to ask gladys yourself.

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh, I intend to. Cody, I know that you feel bad, but please don’T. I appreciate you being honest with me. At least someone was. The nurses’ ball is back! I wanted to commemorate G.H.’S 60th anniversary and celebrate how much G.H.’S workers have meant to the community. I thought, what better way than the nurses’ ball? That is a great idea, sweetheart. Normally, I’d say maybe we should skip it, the year of lucy’s death. But 60 years of general hospital is too big of an anniversary to ignore. I agree. And since lucy isn’t here to run things, I’m going to attempt to step into her shoes and chair the event. As you can imagine, it’s a big undertaking financially. Which is where you and ned come in. You know what? I have some things I have to take care of, so I will leave you to this. Congratulations again. Thank you. Maxie, whatever you need, you can count on elq and the entire quartermaine family. Thank you, ned. Um, I’m sure things are pretty crazy at elq right now with valentin being gone, also. And, of — of course, you know, aurora media will be at your service. I’m sure drew will be on board, too. Thank you, michael. I really appreciate it, both of you. And I’m going to hold you to it. We really need sponsors for this event. [ Chuckles ] Not to mention, musical acts.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Amelia fusses ] I might be able to help you with that, but I have to deal with this text. What about you, michael? Oh.

[ Scoffs ] No. My — my — my performance days are long gone. So, no, thanks. Maxie: That’s okay. I have a much better plan for you. Alright. Thank you for helping. Yeah. Even though you’re the one that made the mess. Wha– I put the mess on the floor. When the mess was all up here, that was you. Well, I don’t do a lot of baking or cooking, so I don’t see a lot of cleaning up the kitchen in our future. “Our future.” You know, I like the sound of that.

[ Laughs ] Me, too. Look, I’m confident that my plan to get charlotte’s elq shares and step away from the company, that’s going to pacify ned. Well, and ned’s the only person we have to worry about turning us into the sec. So we’re good. So, spill it. What’s the dirt on carly? Well, I haven’t really been able to process it with everything that’s going on with willow and my new grandchild. Nina, just tell me. I could really use the distraction. Okay, okay. Remember when I mentioned to you about drew and carly and how they’re hiding whatever’s going on with them? Yeah, vaguely. I don’t think we went into details, though, did we? Well, I saw them hugging pretty intimately. But more importantly, I heard them say that they couldn’t show how they really feel for each other in public. I wonder why. I sort of, kind of am figuring it out. But it’s — it’s raising more questions than answers.

Well, hey. You the invoice I was looking for earlier? How did this get in here? Comet? You pulling tricks again?

[ Knock on door ] What do you mean, you can’t book spa appointments here? It’s all part of the same business, right? I need a massage! Oh, and why is that, gladys? You stressed out about something? Like deception? Besides ned, the only people that know about us being romantically involved are people that we trust — sonny and olivia and michael and joss. The sec is going to have no reason to look into the timing of our relationship unless — unless ned tips them off. Oh, god. I can’t believe ned. No, you — look, you were an investor at aurora, but the merger never happened. You never actually profited on any of that inside information. This was like six months ago. I think we’re good. I hear you. I do. I just — I just can’t quite wrap my head around being together as a couple out in public. You know, I’ve — I’ve gotten used to the hiding. The majority of the time we’ve spent together has been stolen moments at my house here, so… yeah, but they’ve been pretty great moments. Oh, they’ve been amazing moments. So I say we enjoy these last few days of secrecy before the whole world finds out about us. Oh, believe me, I plan on enjoying. Mm. Oh, hi. Hi, josslyn. Hi. [ Chuckles ] Sorry to interrupt. Not at all. No. I was, uh — I was actually just — just getting ready to go. Yeah. Oh, don’t leave on my account. It seems like you guys were having a good time. I’m going to make sure that we have plenty of good times in our future.

[ Chuckles ] See you. Josslyn: Bye. Hey, I’ll see you? Yeah. Okay. Wow, mom, I haven’t seen you smiling so much in a long time. It seems like you’re really happy with drew. I am. Last night, after I came back from G.H., I overheard sonny and olivia talking. Oh, you were eavesdropping? Nothing good comes from eavesdropping, nina. You should know that. I wasn’t going out and searching for it, ava. I just happened upon the conversation. Can you really call that eavesdropping? Yes, that’s eavesdropping. I mean, what — you’re making a habit of it. Stop. You need to give me a little credit, because guess what? I have all this information now and I haven’t done anything about it. I’m just trying to wrap my head around it. So, what’s the information? Now you want to know. Mm-hmm. Okay. I overheard sonny say that if people knew how long that carly and drew have been seeing each other and what they’ve discussed, there would be serious consequences.

And olivia said that ned was about to turn drew and carly in to the sec. Huh. So… so sonny knows something, and he’s — he’s choosing not to tell you. How does that feel? How’s the cooking, dex? Any new recipes? Uh, not yet, but I have been doing a lot of thinking since we last spoke. I’ve made no secret that I want to advance in your organization, but I understand that my ambition has made me too inclined to act on my own instead of focusing on doing whatever it is that you need me to do, big or small. And I want to fix that mistake. Got it. I told you that I wanted you to be part of the pikeman shipment, and I shut you out, and you probably think that… …I pulled the rug out from under you. You’re the boss running your business how you see fit. And I know that I need to prove that I’m trustworthy. Yeah, you still need to prove yourself. But that’s not why I shut you out. The pikeman deal is a snake pit. It’s the first time I’m working with these people, and I don’t even trust the guy who referred them. So, the less you know, the less I have reason to blame you… …if it goes sideways.

Deception”? I don’t knowwhat you’re talking about. I have the day off work. I’m talking about your lies, gladys. Please tell me that you did not sell brando’s garage. H-how did you hear about that? So it’s true. You actually sold it? Yes, I did. I cannot believe that you would sell my husband’s garage without asking me. Hell, forget about asking. You did not even tell me. How could you do that, gladys? It was time, sasha. You told me that we would hold off until I was ready. You don’t have the final say, sweetheart. What was that? We both know the situation. The court put me in charge for your — oh, forget about the damn court. You and I had an arrangement as family. And the spirit of that arrangement was that you would consult with me. You had no right to sell brando’s garage behind my back. I was just trying to do what is best.

How was that best for me? Well, it’s not all about you! I did it for me! Mac. Uh, what — what brings you here? I had some police business with the quartermaines, and, um, I thought I owed you a visit. I saw that you reached out a few times, and I feel bad for not responding. Y-yeah, I’m sorry. I-I just thought maybe you wanted to talk after what you went through with ryan chamberlain. Uh, but it’s — it’s dumb, because you’re a cop, and you’ve obviously dealt with killing a criminal before. So, sorry if it seemed like I was hounding you. I appreciate it. Really. You know, I, uh — I should’ve called you back, but… yeah, no, hey, I’m not much of a talker, either, especially when it comes to emotional stuff. You know, when — when I have a lot of things on my mind, I tend to just hop on the back of a horse and go for a ride. You ever try it? In my younger days, I spent some time on a ranch in the outback. Why’d you stop riding? Haven’t had much opportunity since I left australia. Well, take it from me. It’s the best way to unwind.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t think I could get this old leg up over a saddle. Something tells me it’s not just like riding a bike. Oh, sure it is. I mean, horses are just like giant bikes with minds of their own.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, those were the days. Riding out into the bush with my friends. The end of the day, we’d head over to the pub and put back a few bludger pale ales. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. You — you drank bludgers? You’ve heard of them? Uh, okay. A while back, I did a stunt gig with this guy from australia, and that’s all he drank, was bludgers. So I-I developed a taste for them. You’re kidding. I didn’t think anyone in the U.S. Heard of bludger. Uh, yeah. Okay. Alright. Don’t tell mama q, but a few weeks ago, i might have put a case of bludgers on the grocery order. And I still have a couple. You want one? I am off the clock. Aurora media will be at your disposal for the nurses’ ball, and I will make a personal donation, as well. Thank you. But I’m not just here for the money. Don’t get me wrong, I’m taking the donation. But I was hoping you would join the planning committee. You’re kidding, right? I mean, what about brook lynn? I mean, she’s the one with entertainment experience. I’m — right, but you’re a respected figure in the community. You have tons of connections to local businesses because of your work at aurora and elq. Not to mention, both sides of your family have close relationships with the hospital, so you’re just the person I need for this committee. It is a good cause, michael. Oh, yeah, no, it’s a great — it’s a great cause. It really is. It’s just maybe it’s not — uh, look, I’m sorry, maxie. I-I can’T. Not with everything going on right now. It’s not — michael, before you rule it out, I think you should consider it. Ned: Drew. Ned. I should warn you, maxie is in there hustling up support for the nurses’ ball. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Well, I’m happy to hear it’s back on again, though hard to imagine without lucy. But I’m sure maxie’s gonna do a great job. I agree.

[ Sighs ] Hey, ned, um… the family managed to come together for willow and michael’s sake, but, obviously, elq is still the elephant in the room, right? So… I’ve got a proposal to make all this tension a thing of the past. Something’s wrong. Sasha’s not happy. Sasha: Brando was supposed to be my guardian, and he would have never sold something that I treasured… are — are you going to go talk to her? …Without asking me. No. I mean, not right now. I mean, she knows I’m there for her, and if she needs me, she knows where to find me. Okay, well, then, back to carly. Okay. Okay. You know, I’m never thrilled when carly and sonny have an interaction, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that, unfortunately, carly is always going to have a presence in our lives. And despite my feelings towards carly, I can’t really blame sonny for trying to protect her. I mean, she is his ex-wife. Especially from the feds. So, ned — he has some kind of information that could get carly and drew in trouble with the sec. I wonder what that could be. Yeah, I have no idea. I’m not sure. Well, we’re smart. Let’s figure it out. Now, I know that carly and drew wouldn’t keep their relationship quiet to spare anybody’s feelings. No, there’s gotta be a compelling reason that they’re not going public. Could the legal consequences that sonny mentioned actually involve jail time? I’m guessing that fines wouldn’t matter much to someone with quartermaine money. That makes sense. But what I don’t get is the secrecy. Everyone knows that drew and carly, they got close. I mean, the reason that I own half this hotel is because carly was trying to help out drew and michael during that whole, you know, aurora/elq merger. Well, that’s it! What? That’s what? Yes, that — I-I know what carly and drew are so afraid of. Uh, I’m leaving you out of the…pikeman deal because I see that you have potential, and I want to — I want to bring you up in the business, and I want to make sure you do it well. You understand me? I appreciate the faith, but I would think that if you saw potential in me, you would want to test that by giving me more responsibility, not leaving me out. I just need to be careful how I bring you up. Because if the deal goes south, I’ll know you had nothing to do with it. Makes sense. Does not mean… you still can’t help me.

I-I agree that the nurses’ ball is a worthy cause, and under normal circumstances, I would do it in a heartbeat, but… look, with willow’s bone marrow transplant coming up, it’s — right now, we can’t do anything about that except wait. What about the — the wedding? I have the wedding under control, along with help from your mom, your sister, sasha, brook lynn, and olivia. What about the newborn baby? We’re lucky enough to have help. Oh, sounds like you’re out of excuses, michael.

[ Scoffs ] The community really needs this. And so do I. Do it for me?

[ Sighs ]

[ Bottles clink ] Oh, this brings me back. Me, too. Reminds me of simpler times in my life.

[ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know how things got so complicated. I can only imagine how difficult it must be having to take someone’s life in the line of duty.

[ Exhales deeply ] You know, I’ve been a cop for about 30 years. And killing ryan, even though it’s hardly not the first time I’ve had to take a life while on the job, this was different. How so?

[ Grunts ] Oh, man. Ryan chamberlain and I, we’ve had a complicated history. This was a man who terrorized my family for decades because of his obsession with felicia. But he was also the twin brother of my best friend, kevin. He knew how twisted and downright evil ryan could be. I mean, it wasn’t that many years ago when ryan actually managed to switch places with kevin. He had him locked up and drugged up in ferncliff asylum. Ryan pretended to be kevin. Man, this guy sounds pretty — pretty messed up. Yeah, he was. But he was also kevin’s brother. And I don’t think kevin ever really gave up hope that ryan might change one day. But that day will never come, because I killed him. But I — I mean, you did that to save ava jerome and yourself, right? I know that we’re all better off and that the shooting was justified.

[ Sighs ] But? But I killed my best friend’s twin brother. And I know, in some small way, kevin still loved ryan. And I hate that I caused my friend any pain.

[ Chuckles dryly ] None of this is your problem. Hey, hey. I’m not complaining. Besides, you know, sometimes it’s easier to talk about heavy stuff with people you hardly know. Well, I’m glad we’re getting to know each other. Yeah, me, too.

[ Bottles clink ] The truth is… I had every right to sell the garage. Not just as your guardian, but as brando’s mother, who is grieving him. I’m grieving him, too. I know that, honey. And I’m sorry for the tough time you’ve had. But this guardianship has protected you in ways you don’t even know. What is that supposed to mean? You have no idea what it’s like managing all these finances, getting bills every single month for the garage, each one with brando’s name on it. And then there’s when the chamber of commerce calls the office phone, asks for mr. Corbin.

[ Voice breaking ] I get faced with daily reminders that brando isn’t here with us anymore.

[ Sniffles, sighs ] I had no idea. Why didn’t you tell me any of this? Because, honey, my — my job is literally to protect you as your guardian. You lost your husband. I lost my son. Been hard on me, too. So, I needed to get rid of the garage for many reasons, but not the least of which is getting on with my life. I’m sorry if that makes you hate me. It’s just a chance I had to take.

[ Sighs ] Valentin’s death opens the possibility to get elq back in quartermaine control. Well, technically, it is in quartermaine control now. You are currently the ceo, but this is an opportunity for the family to regain majority ownership of the company. Valentin’s stock went to charlotte, which means that laura controls it. I’m sure that we can — we can negotiate to reacquire that stock that valentin poached from us. So you and michael can ice me out again? No. Ned, look. Valentin drove a wedge between us. But he’s gone. Okay, the way I see it, this is a chance for us to start over. So, in the interest of putting the family back together, I am willing to step away from elq entirely. Well, I honestly wasn’t expecting that. I will run aurora full time. I’m okay with that. The most important thing is — is making this family a united front again. I mean, think about it. Last summer, we were at each other’s throats, and then we all came together for willow, and it reminded me how right it feels for us all to be on the same team. And I know that we’re quartermaines, and I know that we’re going to bicker and we’re going to backstab, but at the end of the day, when it matters, we band together. So, come on, we’ve gotta do whatever — whatever we have to, to make this family whole again, and a big part of that is to get elq back. So what do you say, ned? Carly invested in aurora when the plan was to merge that company with elq, right? Right, to get elq back under the quartermaines’ control. It was drew and michael’s plan, and when carly tried to help them, she invested heavily, and when the merger didn’t happen, she lost it all. But if carly bought aurora stock knowing there was a merger on the horizon, isn’t that insider trading? And she and drew could both be open to prosecution if anybody finds out. That’s right. That’s why they have to keep their relationship at a distance. Because anyone investigating, they don’t want to have them suspect that they’d discuss these sensitive business matters. Otherwise, they’re facing jail time. Anything you need, I’m good for it. I want to take you to the warehouse where the pikeman shipment’s going to be stored. I’m not going to tell you when it’s going to land, because the date’s been changed. Uh, then why take me to the warehouse? Because I want your assessment of the place. I want to see how good you identify vulnerabilities. Think of it as training.

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m sorry for crashing your time with drew. Are you kidding? Don’t apologize. This is your home. I’m always happy to see you. I know, but you guys don’t get to spend a ton of time together since you have to keep things on the down low. Yeah, well, that may be changing, so… really? Mm-hmm. Oh, my god, I’m so happy to hear that. Well, I mean, it’s still in the works, but I’m cautiously optimistic. Well, I hope it works out. You know, you deserve to be able to go out and show the world how happy drew makes you. Yeah. So do you. Being in a secret relationship’s a lot of fun, but it comes with baggage, josslyn. And we’re back to dex. Yeah, we’re back to dex. ‘Cause I’m your mom and I’m always going to want to protect you and stop you from getting hurt. I mean, forget about what sonny would do if he finds out that you’ve been seeing dex behind his back. But you grew up in that world. You saw me deal with it every day. Are you sure you want that for yourself? Dex is planning on getting out of sonny’s organization. Seriously, josslyn? You’re going to hang your future on a vague promise? Dex: Option three… I get evidence against sonny. I turn it over to my real boss, who turns it over to the feds. Sonny goes to prison. I’m in the clear. Option three it is. Option three. No matter what happens… I can’t walk away from you. Good. I don’t want you to. It’s not like that. Dex has a real plan. Okay. Like what?

You bring up some good points. It’s a win-win for you, ned. We regain valentin’s stock and I extract myself from elq. Well, you’ve given me a lot to think about. Michael, if you help plan the nurses’ ball, it will give us something to look forward to. We won’t just be focusing on waiting for the transplant. We’ll have something positive to pour our energy into, something that benefits us, G.H., And the entire city.

[ Exhales deeply ] Well, how can I say no to that? Awesome. Thank you. Our first meeting is tomorrow, and I will call you tonight to go over all the details. Got it.

[ Door closes ]

[ Chuckles ] Alright. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know what? You’re my world, willow. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for you. So, what do you say? You up for another one? No reason not to. Cody, I, uh… think you dropped something. I don’t hate you, gladys.

[ Exhales deeply ] Thank you. But I don’t like that you went behind my back. Understood. I get where you were coming from. And you’re probably right. Left to my own devices, I probably would have never parted ways with the garage. I couldn’t bear it. Well, just so you know, it wasn’t easy for me, either. Well, I guess that, maybe in a not-so-good way, it worked out for the best. Instead of hanging over us, the garage is gone, and we’re forced to move forward. I can see why my son fell for you. I miss him. Honey, I do, too.

[ Crying ] Oh. Oh! Your theory is good, ava. It is. But that’s all it is — a theory. Mm-hmm. Theory that could turn the tables. Here, now, you have important information about carly, just like she had important information about you. The question is, what are you gonna do with it? Look, you and drew are working on finding a way that you can be together out in the open. Dex and i want that, too. And I know that dex is gonna get out of the mob for good. Well… I know you believe that. And I think dex probably believes that he can leave that world. But take it from someone who has been very close to it most of my life. Once you’re in, josslyn, it’s really hard to leave. But it is possible. It is, but the way out is usually death. It’s isolated, which is good. Less chance someone notices the shipment whenever it arrives. It’d be a good idea to put cameras up outside, monitor anyone approaching. I-I got somebody on that. How many points of entry? Sonny! Get down!

Hi. Oh, hello there. Martini or Gin Atomic. Oh, after the day? I’ve had both, but not yet. Unfortunately, our workday is not finished. It’s not. Now, I think specifically you may have a problem. What happened? Well, I ran into Johnny at the park today and I overheard him talking to Wendy and I don’t know how they figured it out, but they suspect that you are the one that is trucking.

Stephan?

Yeah. Thanks for calling Dad. Yeah, it’s, uh, being back here without Kayla. It feels wrong and sad, you know? Yeah. I just really wanna do my best to live up to the Sanders that she set.

Yeah. Yeah. First day’s going. Okay. So far. Uh, I got my new ID badge and drained, uh, my first ABSs in the er. It’s like I, it’s like I never left.

Thanks. I love you too, Johnny. Hey, are you, are you okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. Um, actually, I was uh, here to see you.

That’s right. I wanna talk to you about Bella. Well, it’s just that Auntie Mag and I aren’t really seeing eye to eye on its future, and since Bella’s been my baby for the past six months now, I was hoping that maybe you would consider my input before making any major decisions. Do you want to talk about us?

Well, I thought that was the last thing you’d want to talk about, given the way you rushed out of it just a little while. And I was wrong, cowardly. Well, in all fairness to you, Oh, I kissed you impulsively. Um, I could see how very thrown you were and I, I honestly, I just, I got really caught up over the sales and numbers.

You don’t have to explain Glenn, and you don’t have to apologize, but I do need to explain my, my reaction at least, and apologize for it. Yes, I can. No, there isn’t. Okay. Please just let me speak. When I found out that my divorce papers had been lost, I dunno. I thought maybe that was fate telling me that there was still hope for me and Sarah.

Yes, Sarah assigned the papers and she left town, right, and I know it’s naive to keep holding out hope, but naive or not, it is what I am doing, which is why I, I can’t even consider a romantic relationship with you until I know for sure that my divorce is. And if that’s not okay with you, I do understand

like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

What are you doing here, father? Checking up on your wayward offspring? Well, without much luck lately, but I went to the Salem in to see Lee and he told me he is living here now. He is. Ian Gabby moved in yesterday, he and Gabby. So your brother is celebrating by that ridiculous contract with a woman who doesn’t love him.

Yeah. You know, I suggest you take that up with him, but, uh, he’s not home right now. Is someone actually sleeping on a sofa? I mean, don’t you have enough bedrooms for the three of you? Uh, we do have enough rooms for me, Lee and Gabby, but, uh, there’s four of us here. Now that my friend trip has moved in,

Wendy told me you were working here again. Uh, yeah, I am. And uh, look, this is about Wendy. You’ve got nothing to worry about, man. We’re just friends and roommates. There’s nothing romantic going on between us. Oh, I. . Yeah, Wendy told me, um, and I trust her. So anyway, I’m not even here about Wendy. I’m actually here about my dad.

But I spoke to Johnny and Wendy earlier. I could have sworn they believed me. Oh, by the time I got to them, they were questioning if Stefan was using drugs. And they’ve suggested that you might be the one jacking Stephan. But how did they figure it out? Well, I, I don’t think they. I think it was just conjecture.

Ah, damn. So what did you do? Uh, how did you react? Light my ass off. Of course, I totally vouched for your innocence. I even told them that I was there when the investigator told you that S’S fingerprints were on the vial. Good. Good. Did they buy it? They seem to, I hope they. Oh, if Johnny knew the truth, then he could ruin everything.

Uh, is your father all right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, he’s, he’s. He’s fine. He did though, um, get some tests taken the other day for some demer business. I just wonder if I could get a copy of the results. Nah, I’m afraid I can’t help you there. Uh, HIPAA rules. I’d still need written authorization from your father,

Well, yeah, but my dad sent me here to get the results form to save him time. So now you’re telling me I gotta go all the way back home, get him to sign some paper and then come all the way back here to get ’em. Come on. Sorry Johnny. I don’t make the. And I really prefer not to break any on my first date back here.

You’re living with a boy, a man, a doctor, a friend. So he’s living here with you, but he’s not a boyfriend. No, he’s not. I’m seeing Johnny Damara, actually. Johnny Damara now. Why didn’t I know that? It’s not like I was hiding anything. Johnny and I have been friends for a while and uh, we just started casually dating.

I, I know, I know. He’s not a doctor or a lawyer. He is not Chinese. No, I don’t care anything about that. You don’t, your brother turned his whole world upside down for Gabby Hernandez. He lost his job. He gave away his shares of stock and he’s gonna lose his marriage eventually. But you, you are cementing our family’s legacy at this company by being involved with the air for the Damara enterprise.

Well, don’t you win . I’m so very proud of you. Why are Johnny and Mundi so determined to investigate any little irregularity they stumble across? I clearly spent too much time reading Hardi Boy’s Mysteries to Johnny while he was young. . Great. Well now you have to figure out a way to assure him that there’s no mystery here to think my very own son would accuse me of, of doing exactly what you’re doing.

Look, it’s, it’s cuz he loves you and he’s worried about you. That’s all he’s worried about. My brother. Hmm. Little does he know what his beloved Uncle Stephan is willing to do to me. He actually drugged my water at the office earlier. Bastard. Yes. Luckily I was able to switch the bottles. , and you did that without my help.

Good job. So how did it affect him? I’m not too sure. He skipped out of there early, just like he did yesterday to see Gabby. This is the second wasted opportunity for him to make a fool of himself at Tamir.

Ah, good Miss.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stephan, did you get a head start on your cocktail somewhere else? No. No. I just, I got a. Hi, Kevin. Okay. Why don’t you sit down, Stephan. I’ll get you some water.

Thanks. Mm-hmm. . Wow. I don’t, I don’t know why I’m feeling so out of it. It makes sense to me. You were held hostage for days while Rove, zapped and repped your brain. No surprises here Experiencing. After the fact. Yeah, I, I’m sure that’s it. Or maybe there’s a flu going around. I’ve been feeling peaked on and off myself, but I certainly can’t attribute it to having been brainwashed.

Right. Oh, that is strange. I, Ugh. Oh man. I’m gonna go upstairs, splash some cold water on my face and lay down. Leave it up. Yes. Feel best. Yeah.

It seems the drug is having its intended effect. Maybe there’s a flu going around. What is that all about? Well, if I had to play along, obviously otherwise he might suspect, oh no, my head is spinning. How long is this gonna go on? As long as it. Well, you know, if no one at Damira sees him like this, then it’s all for nothing.

Nicole, you have just given me a Scathingly. Brilliant idea.

You’re welcome. Thank you Uncle Vic. No, you know what? I knew you would end up seeing things my way. Alright, take care.

Is it possible that I didn’t be clear that that chair is no longer your domain? Uh, sorry again, please. I went downstairs to, uh, break the news to the Bella staff, and I’m terminating the magazine. Well, I wish you had told me, but, oh, well, listen, I thought that since I was gonna lower the boom, it was my decision.

But you know what? It seems that someone has been allowing the staff to keep banker’s hours cuz they were gone. So I guess I’m just gonna have to tell ’em tomorrow. Hmm. Sounds a good plan. I’m glad you approved.

Look, Alice, I know you didn’t agree with my decision, but it was my decision, so I hope you respect that. Of course. I’m the ex c o, the only person with authority over you. Now it’s Uncle Vic

Hello. Hello, Victor. What can I do for you?

You think that there might still be a chance for us? Of course. I’m willing to.

I love you Zander. If you need to know that your, your marriage is over before you can move on.

Vir Zandy, I have acquired some very exciting news. It’s about you, me. Ooh, whatever it is. I’m sure. I don’t want it in Lady whistleblowers calling. Oh, don’t worry. Lady W can be very discreet when necessary. Right. So you suggest some news? I do indeed. I was sniffing around for dirt at the county clerk’s office and wallah, what’s this?

It’s your final divorce decree.

Wait, how did you get this in so quickly? Well, I was sweet talking Jimmy in records. Reminded him how he screwed up royally when he lost the decree the first time. Turns out he didn’t want to be in my column, so he agreed to expedite the executed paperwork from what he just gave it to you. Are you doubting my charms?

Okay, fine. He knows you’re my boss and I told him how eager you are to move on with your life. And now Sir Xander of Cook, you most certainly can.

Dunno what to say. I believe the words you’re looking for are, thank you, lady Whistleblower from the bottom of my heart. Yes, of course. Thank you. And now that you’re finally free of that Sanctimonious, judgey Mc Judson, mayor of Judge Town, we can finally celebrate.

Okay, look, I know Sarah Pacer rejected you and it still hurts, but I wanna remind you that she ended your marriage because in great that she is, she didn’t appreciate that every action you took was done so that you could support her in the manner to which she was accustomed. And how does she repay you?

By ratting you out to Bonnie and Justin and dumping your incredibly finance. Meanwhile, g Guinevere over here puts her own cute little ass on the line for you. She goes so far as to sacrifice her relationship with her father to take you aside when there was nothing in it for her. That’s how much she cares for you.

Okay? Netty, you don’t, you don’t need to. I, I, yes, I know I don’t need to sell you to him. You’ve already sold yourself. I’m not in the literal sense of. What I meant to say, Mr. Sandman, who rhymes with Sandman, but you do not put anyone to sleep. In fact, you are a stimulating and fascinating person in my book, but there is nobody in your life who ever has been or ever will be so loyal and so dedicated to you as Madam Mazzeo Guinevere of Riz Check.

And not that it’s any of my business, but if it were, I would already have a ring on this fine woman’s finger.

Yes, Victor. Thank you for calling and I, I really appreciate your input on this. Yeah, you too.

Um, he wanted to talk to me about Bella really. What’d he say

That he fully supports my decision to shut up the magazine? Does he? You know, I was so curious as to one, how he knew about my decision since I just made it today, and you are the only one I discussed it with.

So what you, you think I said something to him? I know you did. Because Victor told me. So

tell your dad if he wants the results of his test, he’s gonna have to come and get them himself. I hope you understand. Yeah, right. Um, of course. Yeah. Uh, and I actually need to go. I’m don’t wanna leave you around. See it though. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Thanks for nothing. Damnit. How am I gonna figure out if my dad’s lying?

I don’t think I heard him. Right. Did you just say you approve of something I’m doing? Oh, very much so. Okay. What if I told you that I don’t? Johnny’s the Dera. He, you don’t have to care. I do. Tony doesn’t even want to follow in his father’s footsteps. He wants to make movies and he’s good at it. Well, he can pick daisies for all I care.

He is still a dememer and will still be the heir apparent. And the more time you spend with the Demaris, the stronger our position will be. And Jess, when. Scathingly. Brilliant idea. Away. Shin is in town for a meeting. No shin. Mm-hmm. . I think I see where you’re going with this because you are as brilliant as you are.

Give him a call.

Hello, Mr. Shin, AJ Dira, how are you going? I’m fine. What can I do for you? I was just thinking it’s been a long time since we’ve broken bread. How would you like to stop by the mansion and dine with your co CEOs? Well, that sounds lovely. When do you have in mind? Well, if you don’t have any plans tonight, whenever you can get here.

Well, I’m vanished. Didn’t, uh, well my daughter’s out that much of a cook,

I’ll be there immediately. Excellent

way. Shin is on his way. And now all we have to do is wait for the.

Oh, uh, Mr. Shin. Hey. Hello. Hello, Johnny. Good to see you. Jim Wynn has been saying some very nice things about. . Really? Mm-hmm. . Oh, that’s, uh, that’s good to hear. What? I’m going to give you two some privacy, so have a good night. Hey, I hope I didn’t chase him off. Believe me. You didn’t. What’s up? I was wondering if, if you had a minute to take a look at something.

Yes, sure. I, uh, I was able to get into the lab and I got a copy of those test results my dad had ordered on that drug that I found, and I. Have no idea what I’m looking for. How did you get this? I have my ways. Okay. Well, I am an expert in cyber, not Ken. Mm-hmm. . Let’s cross source this puppy. Oh, well I already did a web search, so did you try the dark web?

No, no. I, I guess I should have.

Okay. I got a hit. Oh, what? Uh, your dad said this was some kind of recreational street drug. Yeah, well, I think if your Uncle Stephan wanted to get high, he probably wouldn’t use a rare medical grade tr that not only induces euphoria, but also has a host of nasty side effects. So what you’re saying, my dad lied to me.

I’m sorry. I think so.

This is perfect. And when Stephan tries to drug me at dinner, you will turn the tables on him. Right. And he will make a fool of himself in front of none other then way shin. Mm-hmm. the best person to witness his foolishness. Exactly. And given Mr. Shin’s notoriously thin patience, my brother could be on the unemployment line by tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope so. But ooh, do you really wanna do this under shin’s nose? I mean, there’s more people to, to witness you switching the drinks, and it’s a risk unwilling to take besides if the truth ever does come out. I haven’t drugged anyone. It’s all on Steph and my, my hands are clean.

Auntie Maggie, don’t you, aunt Maggie? Me, according to Victor, you told him I didn’t have enough experience to make an informed decision. Whoa. I I, I didn’t say that. Not in so many words. Well, then what did you mean by calling him and giving him a heads up that your incompetent wife was about to make a big mistake?

Oh, I definitely didn’t say that. No, but you went on and on to him about how I was cav literally shutting down this magazine. That he named after his beloved daughter. Nice use of pathos. I’ll give you that. Did you seriously think that DIB would overrule me? That he would side with you over his own life?

That he wouldn’t tell me that you went behind my back, auntie. I’m sorry. And believe me, I know my place around here. It’s just that I passionately believe in the magazine. I felt like it was worth fighting for. It’s nothing personal. Nothing personal. I have, I have reminded you twice today that that chair no longer belongs to you.

I am your boss, Alex. I am the C of this company. I know, and I respect that. Do you, because your behavior says otherwise. Now if you can’t accept the fact that I now have the job that you think you’re entitled to, well then you know you are free to resign. Now

let me fix my work here is done. I will leave you two love birds alone. Go bend Jimmy’s ear some more. Maybe a few other choice Body parts Chowk.

Um, I’m sorry he put you on the spot like that. Please know that I, I did not put him up to my, I I know you, I know you didn’t. Grandma we’ll say he did have a few valid points though. I agree. And you did for everything on the line for me. You sacrificed your own happiness to try to make things work for Sarah and me, and you’re so very grateful for that g.

I can never thank you enough, but, um, I thought with time maybe things would become clearer and I know I promised you a decision when my divorce came through, and

the truth is

I still love Sarah. I dunno if I’m ever gonna get over her. And you deserve someone who’s gonna love you with their whole heart.

I’m sorry, I just, I think the of us can be

not right.

Damn it. And I, I was worried enough when I thought my dad or my uncle might have a drug problem. But if my dad is the one giving the drugs to my uncle just to get ahead in business, I mean, I know, I know they don’t have the best relationship and back stabbing is kind of the dememer way. But after everything Stefan’s been through, who knows what that could do to him.

And if my dad were to get caught, I mean, okay, take a deep breath, Johnny. We still don’t know what’s really going on here. Nicole said that the investigator found Stephan’s fingerprints on that file. Yeah, we don’t know that for sure. Now. I mean, she’s, she’s sleeping with my dad. She’d lie for him in a heartbeat.

Oh my God. What? Your dad called my dad and invited him over to dinner. Okay. Let’s say all of this is true. Could he be planning to drug Stephan and then get him to make a total fool of himself in front of my.

Yeah, I bet that’s exactly the plan. Look, I, I, I’m not just gonna sit here and do nothing about it. Okay.

Johnny, my man. Okay. Paa Uncle Stephan. Uh, I, uh, I really hate to tell you this, but I think somebody might be drugging you,

Mr. Shannon. Of course. You know the lovely Nicole Walker, how you do Indeed. She is doing a super job at Basic Black. Thank you so much. But I understand that your co c e o was arrested for kid. Yes, but we expect all the charges against Brady to be dropped. But in the meantime, we’re fully cooperating with police.

We don’t want to have any scandals on our watch

on that subject. I, I have to confide. I’m rather worried about my brother. I’m not sure what Dr. Wolf put him through, but I’m afraid it may have taken its toll on his physical and mental health. He doesn’t seem to be himself lately Really. I haven’t heard any word about Stephan’s behavior at work, but I’ve heard plenty about yours.

I’m sorry. I how you understand.

You know what, and uh, I don’t.

I mean, sure when there’s blackmail to be done or your dead body to hide or claps are closing in, you have no problem calling on good old friend Gwen.

Have a romp around in the hay to thank me,

but I am never the person you would take home to meet your mother. Am I my mother’s dad? To me she is. The point is you see me as some sort of a fearless bad girl. Don’t you have a couple of laughs with, and I help you out with your schemes, but you will never actually commit to me. I was gonna marry you until you drugged Sarah.

You killed Susan Banks. You killed Laura Horter. That was an accident. Was it? The point is, is that you are no better than me, Zander, and you never will be. And you put Sarah up on this pedestal because you think I will never measure up. Isn’t that right?

Listen, then what you think?

Maybe like, that’s my thing. Good God.

Johnny, who do you think is drugging me and why? Look, I, I can’t get into all the details right now. Okay. All I can tell you is just be careful what you eat and drink. All right. Especially tonight. Okay. I need more information. That’s all I got for you right now. Just, just, uh, please take care. Okay?

I hope I did the right thing.

It seems to me that you’re more of a danger to the company after that debacle of the press conference. My portfolio is still recovering. My sincere apologies, Mr. Shin. Look, I’m not one to make excuses, but I had a terrible flu then, but I’m fine now. My brother, however, I’m afraid he may have permanent brain damage as a result of what he’s been put through.

Oh, and you invited me over so I could see for myself. I invited you here as our guest. , but I do think you’ll be concerned about what you witnessed.

I am here today with em Winter Mike Manning, who plays Caleb on the Bay. Part of the season is set in Puerto Rico. Did you have fun filming in Port Rico? Well, I knew he was town love filming in Puerto Rico. Hi, how are you feeling, Stephen? Much better. Thank you. Mr. Shin, has anybody offered to make you drink?

No, not yet. I’ll make a round for all of us. Mm-hmm. . Oh, Mr. Schmit is so great that you came over for dinner.

I know the business world is full of back biting and in fighting, and it’s especially distressing when family members do it to each other, which is why the Titan c e o, Merry-go-round ends. With me, so if you can’t deal with it, I can deal with it Auntie, believe me. If I’m not quitting, I’m sorry that we got off to this rocky start.

Truly, that’s just that I am proud of the work that we did at Bella, and now I have developed these personal connections with a lot of the employees and, okay, well if you feel that strongly about it,

well then baby, you should be the one to go and break the news to them. But you want me to fire the staff, but in the meantime, I want you to bring me all the accounts that you are in charge of. I’d like to review them for all of them, every single one. And Alex, if you ever go behind my back again to Victor, I will fire you.

And the next time I won’t be joking.

You’re brutally honest with me. Now, I’m gonna be brutally honest with you.

Have you an idiot? Told out hope for us. You’re an idiot, Quinn. You’re wickedly smart and so beautiful and sensitive enough. Do not patronize. Please.

I don’t wanna be your friend.

I don’t wanna be your business partner. In fact, I don’t even know how I’m gonna bloody come into work every day and have to look at your face when all I want, all I want, Sandra, is just to claw your bloody eyes out right now.

Because where are you meant to leave me on or not? That is, that is what you did. I’m sorry. Handle things very poorly. I know that and I know I have to fix it. I have to make things easier for you because I’ve obviously hurt you very badly. I

look, this is, uh, This is your dad’s paper. You should be the one to run it. Yes, I know. You’ll do a bang up job without me, so, um,

goodbye. Bye.

I thought that follow up interview was tomorrow. Yeah, I, uh, I just came by to let you know that somebody else might be handling it. Oh, why is that? Well, I took your advice about having a candid conversation with Gwen about our future from the expression on your face. Take it. It didn’t go well. No, it did not.

In fact, don’t think it could have gone any worse.

Hi, can I get a refill please with the bloody alcohol at this time? Would you bad day washed? Join a club.

How did your uncle take the news? Uh, well, I mean, he wanted to know more obviously, but I couldn’t just out my own father. I wonder if he’s gonna think it’s your father anyway. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch, I guess it’s inevitable now I’m gonna have to confront my father.

I mean, you can’t just do something that underhanded and expect to get.

You know, like what you just did to me.

Here’s. Mr. Shin. Careful Mr. Shin. My brother has a very heavy hand with the V. Well, I have a strong hair. No worries. Oh, step in. You forgot the olives, so I did.

Well, we must be fresh out. Really. I know. I saw them earlier. Yeah. I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah. And I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope it’s to your liking. Oh, sounds wonderful. Yeah. Ah, hit it down, huh? Ah, don’t know how I missed him. Ah, that’s all I, I’m sure he was just feeling a little bit off still.

Oh no. That nap did me just right. I’d like to propose a toast to the future of DiMera Enterprises. Here. Here, you’re here.

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: So, did you talk to liam about the possibility of thomas working here again?

Hope: And I knew he wouldn’t be thrilled but…

Brooke: I’m guessing he was very much against it.

Liam: Please, please do not hire him at hope for the future. Please do not give him that opening in your life, please.

Hope: Yeah, I– I don’t blame him. I mean he– he’s right. I’ve trusted thomas before and look at where it’s gotten me.

Brooke: Did you land on a decision?

Hope: Okay, fine.

All right, I’ll tell him no.

Liam: Oh, my god, my god,

thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Taylor: Hey, good morning, I left my tablet here last night. Am I interrupting?

Brooke: Uh no, actually I’m glad that you’re here. Hope was about to tell me if she’s decided or not.

Taylor: Have you decided? Is thomas going to come back and work for hope for the future?

Liam: So, did dad actually say that like in those words he doesn’t care about the amount, just get the deal done?

Wyatt: Yeah. Yeah and he’ll sign off on it, no questions asked, he’s gonna let me handle the whole thing, which is fine.

Liam: I’ve just never seen him so uninvolved in his own business.

Wyatt: Exactly. We’ve also never seen him involved with a homicidal maniac before. There’s that. He’s a changed man. What? You disagree?

Liam: No, no I don’t disagree, it’s just… I’ve been hearing that phrase a lot lately. A changed man, a changed man. Like really? Does anybody ever really change, like?

Wyatt: One would hope. Something tells me we’re not talking about dad anymore. What’s going on with you?

Liam: You got me. Um, all right I’ll give you a clue. It starts with a t and ends with ass.

Paris: I thought I’d see you at the office today. Everyone’s talking about it.

Thomas: Talking about what?

Paris: Hope for the future and how it’s in serious trouble and that a certain designer ought to be working on it again. Is that why you’re here, thomas? Are you back to save the day?

Thomas: Well, paris, I would love the opportunity, but it’s all up to hope.

Paris: Hope should be begging you to come back.

Thomas: She wouldn’t have to beg, I’d gladly do it.

Paris: Well, honestly, the line hasn’t been the same without you, but it’s not like you haven’t been putting in the work. Personally, I mean, you’ve been going to therapy and all that stuff’s rough, but you’re doing it. You’re making amends, you’re improving yourself.

Thomas: I appreciate you noticing.

Paris: Of course, it’s obvious you’ve changed. I see it and hope should see it too. But even if she does see it, there’s still an unfortunate problem. There’s still one person who may not ever accept the fact that you’ve changed, whose opinion she can’t ignore, liam.

Wyatt: What does thomas have to do with anything, all right? I thought he got booted from– from forrester?

Liam: He did.

Wyatt: Okay, so then hope doesn’t have to see his stupid face around the office anymore, right?

Liam: Well, apparently thomas has the magic touch when it comes to hope for the future and singularly determines whether or not the line is successful or can exist.

Wyatt: Hold– hold on, hold on. So, thomas is working on hope’s line again?

Liam: Thankfully, no, not anymore.

Hope: I’ve made a decision. Yes, it wasn’t easy, but after talking with liam.

Taylor: Liam has no idea the work that thomas is doing to make things right with all of us.

Hope: Well, we discussed it and liam believes that thomas is being disingenuous.

Taylor: I sat in on thomas’s therapy session last night and it’s legit. He is working so hard to become a better person. I– I would never support this if I– if I thought he wasn’T. Especially on your line. The friendship that your mom and I have built means so much to me. The years of battles that we have gone through to get to this point. I– I would never jeopardize it by putting you at risk.

Brooke: I’m sure that hope trusts you. But the question is, can you trust thomas? Can liam? So, what did you decide? Are you willing to allow thomas to work with you again?

Taylor: Can you just find it in your heart to give him another shot? Hi, I’m debra.

Thomas: You’re right, liam’s opinion definitely does matter. Um, which means my chances of being back on hope for the future are slim to none.

Paris: Oh, hey, try leaning towards slim, all right? Don’t give up yet.

Thomas: I’m not.

Paris: When is she deciding?

Thomas: She probably already has. I’d actually better go find out.

Paris: Well, I think she’s across the hall, if you’re ready to face the music.

Thomas: Ha. Uh, wish me luck?

Paris: Sending all kinds your way.

Wyatt: So steffy convinced hope to do it or not?

Liam: Convinced, I mean, I don’t know about convinced but– but hope was considering it for a minute there. Thankfully, it didn’t take me too long to bring her back to reality.

Wyatt: I mean, this doesn’t make any sense. Why would steffy let all be forgiven after everything that thomas has done?

Liam: Ah, you know, he’s her brother, unconditional love. She felt obligated to forgive him, yada yada yada. What I don’t understand is how steffy could expect hope to forgive him.

Wyatt: Hope can’t have thomas designing for her again. You did get through to her about that, right?

Liam: Thankfully yes. So, I mean, it’s– it’s looking like if thomas does have a future at forrester, it’s not gonna be because he’s working with hope.

Brooke: Look, honey, I don’t want to put you on the spot. If you’re not ready to answer, that is fine. Just, it’s a big decision so take your time.

Taylor: No, don’t take too much time. No, steffy is ready to pull your line. I mean, I know you’re worried about liam.

Brooke: Yes, of course. I’m sure he’s not happy about this.

Hope: No, liam doesn’t want thomas and me working together.

Taylor: Okay, but if thomas wasn’t genuinely trying to make things better, I would agree. But he is.

[ Knock on door ]

Thomas: Hey. Mom, I had no idea you’d be here.

Taylor: Hi, baby. I– yeah, I left my tablet here last night. I wanted to grab it before work. And also just seeing if there’s any news.

Hope: There will be after thomas and I talk… alone.

Brooke: Oh, oh yes, of course, shall we?

Taylor: We shall.

Thomas: Must’ve been quite the conversation with liam, assuming you talked to him.

Hope: Well, liam is my husband, not going to keep him in the dark.

Thomas: I’m guessing that he didn’t take things so well. Okay, look, hope, I wanna work with you, I do. I love what we do together, our line. I want– I want to create, you know, wonderful designs and– and bring our visions to life, I do. Not at the expense of your marriage or your relationship. I don’t– I don’t want to cause any tension between you and liam, so… if you have to say no, I’ll understand. Hi, I’m angela.

Liam: I did the right thing, right? Talking hope off that ledge.

Wyatt: Uh, yeah. Why are you even questioning that?

Liam: I’m not. I just, I don’t know. I’m starting to wonder if it’s more like a home life is home life and work life is–

Wyatt: Dude! Nope, nope. Stop right there. No, you did the right thing, okay?

Liam: It’s just if she loses her line and it’s because of me…

Wyatt: No, it’s because she’s not working with thomas. And if that’s the case, then it’s their loss, okay? She’ll figure something else out.

Liam: All right, here’s the thing. I– I have so much respect for hope. She’s so smart. She’s so hard working. You know, she– she’s strong willed. She doesn’t– she doesn’t need to be coming home and having me telling her what to do. Like that’s not the role I want in her life.

Wyatt: But you’re married. Her decisions affect you and your decisions affect her. That’s how it works. Especially when it involves someone you can’t trust like thomas. Okay, you were fully supportive and loving and caring, just like you always are, right? You weren’t bossing her around and acting all caveman like.

Liam: Uh yeah, yeah, I think 90% supportive, 10% neanderthal.

Wyatt: Okay. A little caveman’s okay, but you did the right thing because that’s what a good husband does, that.

Liam: Thanks, man. I really– I really appreciate the support and I hope my– my beautiful wife appreciates mine. I’m just, bottom line, I did get through to her and she’s not welcoming thomas back to her line, so.

Taylor: So, what do you think hope is going to decide?

Brooke: Whoo, I don’t know. Her line means so much to her, but is it really worth the risk? No, that is not a dig to thomas. And I believe your assessment about him. I do. I’ve always wanted him to be happy and healthy.

Taylor: And he is, he is well on his way. But I understand that you’re conflicted and so is hope.

Brooke: She was moved by what you said earlier. So was I.

Taylor: Good. So, were you both moved enough to give thomas another chance to prove himself.

Brooke: Mm, that is the question.

Taylor: I know. I know.

Paris: Oh, or better yet, you can hang out with your two grandparents.

Taylor: Hi, paris. Douglas!

Brooke: Hi, douglas. Oh, group hug. Hug, hug, hug.

Taylor: What are you doing here?

Douglas: Amelia dropped me off. I’ve got plans with dad.

Paris: But I told him his father’s in an important meeting.

Taylor: Yes, a very important meeting.

Douglas: What’s it about?

Brooke: Well.

Taylor: It’s a meeting between your parents?

Brooke: Yeah. It turns out your father and your mother may be working together again.

Douglas: Really?

Taylor: Yeah. How would you feel about that?

Douglas: That’d be so cool. It makes things a lot better. I hate it when they don’t get along.

Taylor: Mm.

Hope: You’d really understand if I had to say no.

Thomas: Well yeah, I mean, if you think working with me would somehow affect your marriage. I mean, if liam isn’t willing to accept the changes I’m making, what else can I do? I’m not gonna hold that against you.

Hope: I mean, if you were to actually follow through. If your words were backed up by your actions.

Thomas: They would be.

Hope: Then maybe he would initially be upset by it, but then, you know, he could move on. Especially if the line becomes a success. I mean, you have become an important part of hope for the future. I mean, no other designer captures the spirit of the line like you do. I mean, and believe me, I’ve tried looking.

Thomas: Well, thank you for saying that. I do respectfully agree, so.

Hope: And you were right about douglas, how it would mean something to him to set an example to see his parents working well together.

Thomas: Um, are you– are you saying?

Hope: I’m not ready to walk away from this. I’m not. This line is too important to me. It impacts too many people. It’s message is too important and I am not going to let those people down. So yes, I believe with you as lead designer, we could create something really special. Welcome back to hope for the future, thomas.

Liam: Hey, when was the last time that we had hope for the future on the cover? Was it like a few months ago, I think? I gotta, I gotta find it. Can you remind me? I was thinking about like having it framed for hope. As a gift.

Wyatt: It’s a good idea.

Liam: Yeah, right?

Wyatt: Or, or a bad one. Might be a painful reminder because it’s so long.

Liam: Oh, god. I didn’t even, ah, never mind. I don’t know, I’m just I want to do, I wanna do something nice for her. Something to make up for the fact that I was all like hardcore.

Wyatt: Dude, you do not have to make up for anything. You were being a protective husband. That’s okay. All right? Look, anyone in your shoes would’ve done the same thing. No one would want their wife working with that creep, okay? Look, hope is a remarkable, resourceful woman. She is gonna find a way to keep hftf afloat, I promise you.

Liam: Not if steffy has anything to say about it and she is the boss.

Wyatt: Okay fine, then she’ll find something else better. I– I know hope and I know that she appreciates what you did, okay? You were protecting your marriage. You were protecting your guys’ family, which means no thomas.

Liam: Yeah.

Thomas: Thank you so much. You have no idea of what this means to me. I– I won’t let you down.

Hope: Well, good. But thomas you need to understand if I see even a hint of the old you come out–

Thomas: You– you won’t, okay? And if you did, I’d be gone. I promise. I understand, look I am– I am dedicated to being the best person I can. The best co-worker, the best father and the best friend.

Hope: All right, in that case, I think it will work out.

Thomas: This is uh, this is my last chance. I get that and possibly hope for the future’s, so look, I promise I will not mess this up.

Brooke: Sorry to disturb you.

Taylor: Yeah, we just ran into one of your biggest fans.

Hope: Douglas!

Thomas: What’s up, man? Oh, what great timing.

Taylor: Wait, great timing does– does that mean?

Hope: Yes, thomas and i will be working on hope for the future again.

Douglas: You’re working together again?

Thomas: You bet we are.

Hope: Um, that is if steffy approves.

Taylor: Oh, of course she’s gonna approve, she’s gonna be so happy.

Douglas: But can you be friends too because I was just saying how much I hate it when you weren’t getting along.

Thomas: You know what? I think that we hate that just as much as you do. Maybe more.

Hope: Yeah. We’re making it a point to work well together as a friendly team, not only here at work but also as your parents.

Douglas: That’d be awesome.

Thomas: It will be awesome.

Hope: I am actually so happy that you are here so we could tell you the news in person. ‘Cause you wanna know something? I’ve um, kind of been missing you a lot.

Douglas: I miss you too, mom. You know, I’ve had fun staying with aunt steffy and uncle finn, but seeing you happy like this, I think it’s time for me to come home.

Hope: What, like– like now, today?

Douglas: Yeah, I want to be back at the cabin.

Hope: Oh, oh, my gosh, douglas, sweetie. Oh, that is, that’s amazing. It’s amazing. I’ve been hoping to hear you say those words.

Summer: Thank you. Hey, stranger.

Chelsea: Summer, hey. How are you?

Summer: I’m good. God, I feel like I haven’t seen you in ages.

Chelsea: Yeah, I — I didn’t get out much for a while, crimson lights being the exception.

Summer: And the last time i did see you, I think I was, um, offering you a job at marchetti, and you turned me down flat.

Chelsea: Well, not — not you. It just wasn’t a right job for me.

Summer: I heard that you were taking some time off for some personal stuff. How — how’s that going?

Chelsea: Um, yeah, it’s been a challenge. Um, I went through a really rough patch in the fall. But the worst is behind me, and I’ve come out the other side stronger than ever.

Summer: Oh, that’s really good to hear. But, uh, you still don’t want to come work for me at marchetti?

Chelsea: No.

[ Laughs ] Um, but I am working on something new.

Billy: Hey, ash.

Ashley: Hi.

Billy: Are you alone?

Ashley: I am.

Billy: Okay. Well, I was gonna sit at the bar to work through my 10,000 thoughts going through my head, but I could use the company. Do you mind?

Ashley: Sit down. No, not at all.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: What’s going on with you?

Billy: Oh, uh… that’s a good question, actually. We haven’t been able to catch up since you got back from paris.

Ashley: Yeah.

Billy: Why did you come back so quickly? I figured you’d be there for a few months, you know, with the opportunity to work out of the paris office.

Ashley: Right. I know. Good question. But abby’s here, and she’s going through a lot. I got my grandson — dom. So, there’s that.

Billy: Ah. I see.

Ashley: You see what? What do you see?

Billy: [ Sighs ] I mean, I heard rumors that since you’ve been back, you’ve been in contact with tucker.

Ashley: So?

Billy: I mean, what’s going on there? Are you playing an angle?

Ashley: Why would I have to be playing an angle?

Billy: Because he’s tucker mccall and there’s no other reason to interact with him.

Devon: Hi.

Tucker: Hi.

Devon: Thanks for getting here so quickly.

Tucker: Sure. I was anxious to hear what you had to say. And I know that it’s not easy for you to reach out to me.

Devon: Well, just so we’re clear, this is strictly a business discussion.

Tucker: Yeah. Fine. No father/son emotional crap.

Devon: Yeah, something like that.

Tucker: So, does this mean you’re starting to see the value in taking over mccall?

Devon: I’ve definitely been giving it a look over.

Tucker: Okay. That’s a good start.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, are you held up somewhere? Maybe I can help.

Devon: Well, actually, i found out that you took the idea of selling your company to newman enterprises first. So the notion that this is all about me and carrying on your legacy is clearly a lie, right?

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Ashley: Thank you.

Billy: Look, tucker mccall is bad news, okay? You know that. Everyone knows that. And I really don’t like the idea of you being sucked back into his orbit. He’s caused you a lot of pain.

Ashley: And you don’t think that I am capable of protecting myself or being smart enough to make the right decision?

Billy: No, on the contrary, i think you are the smartest person I know. But when it comes to matters of the heart, all the intelligence gets thrown out the window.

Ashley: Well, that’s true. I mean, case in point — jack reuniting with diane.

Billy: Exactly.

Ashley: Exactly, but didn’t you advocate for everybody to give her a second chance when diane came back to town?

Billy: I did. I did say something of the sort.

Ashley: But you don’t think tucker deserves the same thing.

Billy: You know why.

Ashley: No, I don’t know why.

Billy: He’s one of those guys that’s not ever going to change.

Ashley: Billy, you’re one of those guys that’s not ever going to change, and yet you constantly ask for support every time you think it’s time for you now to start, you know, cleaning up your act.

Billy: Okay, yes, I have done that many, many times. And I appreciate it every single time. But the difference is, when I am going to redeem myself or trying to change, I actually mean it. It’s not part of some elaborate scam.

Ashley: Well, I actually think that people who try to change are sincere. Whether or not they accomplish it is, of course, a different deal.

Billy: So, you think that it’s possible for tucker to change? Because — let me just be clear — I don’T. I really don’T. I think that he is perfectly fine being an agent of chaos.

Ashley: I don’t think you’re in a position to judge him, let alone be his jury and executioner.

Billy: Wow, you really are defending the guy, aren’t you?

Ashley: Actually, I’m just not cynical like you.

Billy: You have feelings for him again, don’t you? Have you not learned anything?

Summer: So, are you designing again? If so, I would love to see your sketches. You know how much I respect your work.

Chelsea: Thank you. But, no, actually, I’m trying something new.

Summer: Ooh. Exciting. What are you doing? Can you give me a little hint?

Chelsea: I — it’s kind of hard to explain. I can’t really tell you right now, but, um, it doesn’t have to do with fashion. It’s something that’s very personal to me.

Summer: Hmm. Okay. Well, I look forward to hearing more about it when you’re ready.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, I want to share it with you when it’s worthy. Uh, but for now, I’m just hoping that this caffeine kicks in so i can get past this creative stumbling block I’m going through.

Summer: Does that usually work for you?

Chelsea: Mm… ahh! Sometimes.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: But really, I think it’s just that my — my personal life is impinging on my work.

Summer: Oh, I know a little something about that. I don’t think that a day goes by that there’s not some sort of family drama at jabot.

Chelsea: Mm. Well, that makes sense. I mean, your mom works with you.

Summer: Actually, um, she doesn’t anymore. I had to fire her.

Chelsea: You fired phyllis?

Summer: Well, believe me, I had cause. And honestly, the work environment has improved greatly, but my family life has definitely taken a toll and… I don’t know. It’s been — it’s been really hard. I sort of had to learn how to compartmentalize.

Chelsea: Trust me, I’ve done a lot of that. But I have realized that pushing things aside doesn’t always lead to healthy results, so just be careful.

Summer: I will. Thank you. And, um, good luck to you on your new path. I’m really excited for you.

Chelsea: I appreciate that. I’ll see you around.

Summer: Bye.

Chelsea: Bye.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Summer: This is summer. Wait, is there a reason why communications hasn’t handled that already? Right. Diane’s away. No, no, no, yeah. I’m just gonna get a refill, and I will be back to the office very soon.

Tucker: Well, I’d taken on a lot of debt, and so newman was prepared to buy that debt to force me to sell it to them. It’s really that simple.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: But I would never ask you to take on a debt-ridden, uh, failing organization.

Devon: Okay. So, what’s changed?

Tucker: Um… [ Chuckles ] A benefactor came in and consolidated the debt before victoria had a chance to make her play. So now the company is in a much better spot. And you can buy it for pennies on the dollar.

Devon: Is that ’cause that’s all it’s worth? ‘Cause I honestly am getting the feeling that this is just your way of trying to dump a failing company onto the nearest sucker, who just happens to be me.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Devon… this company is all I have had in my life for a very long time. Every thought I had, every ounce of effort I put forth was an attempt to make it something special. And even now, as it’s faltering, it’s not something I would ever just dump on someone. I’m — I’m really — I’m sorry to hear you say that ’cause that is not my intention, honestly. So, I’m gonna go.

Devon: You don’t have to go. You don’t have to go. ‘Cause if you’re telling the truth, I’m still interested in buying it. Taking over your company is an enticing offer. That’s it, I’m going on a dunkin’ run.

Phyllis: Ha! You’re right. Well, I’m glad you got back to me so soon. I really appreciate that. Right. Definitely. Let’s talk next week. You too. Ah, just crazy running into you here.

Summer: Is it crazy? ‘Cause I usually come here a couple of times a day.

Phyllis: Oh. Oh. Well, I’m glad you’re doing that. Good for you. You’re very hard-working. I’m glad you’re finding that life/work balance.

Summer: Yeah, I have a pretty good handle on that.

Phyllis: Mm. Good for you. Good for you. I’m sure it’s hard to find time with your busy schedule for harrison and kyle.

Summer: Not really. They’re the most important parts of my life.

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.

Billy: Well, I mean, you could always move out.

Ashley: It’s the family home, which means it’s my home, and I’m not going anywhere. Thank you very much. Have you given jack any kind of grief at all for going back with diane, somebody who faked her own death?

Billy: I have decided to let jack make his own decisions. Who am I to judge?

Ashley: You are such an ass. You know that? You’re an ass.

Billy: I know. I know.

Ashley: So, you give jack a pass, but you have no problem judging me.

Billy: Ashley, you’re my sister, okay? It’s a different situation.

Ashley: Whoa! Spoken like a true chauvinist, billy. Are you aware that diane has specifically and repeatedly caused me harm? Now, granted, tucker is an egotist and he takes himself way too seriously, but your double standard is disgusting and egregious.

Billy: Okay. Maybe you have a point.

Ashley: Yeah, maybe I do.

Billy: Look, I know, okay? It’s not fair for me to judge anyone else’s messy affairs.

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: I mean, the company is a mess.

Tucker: Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. Look, I know you put your heart and soul into it, but it just seems like it’s a big collection of a bunch of unrelated divisions that were either acquired or developed on a whim, without any real forethought.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Thanks.

Devon: It’s true.

Tucker: Actually, several times in the last few years, I’ve considered restoring the core divisions and concentrating on them and their strengths, namely music and entertainment.

Devon: Well, that sounds like a great idea. Why don’t you do that?

Tucker: Well, ’cause I’m a — I’m a collector. It’s part of my dna. I just got to have more, more more. I see a shiny object, I just have to have it.

Devon: Mm.

Tucker: It’s one of my many weaknesses.

Devon: Well, I think that you’re right about music and entertainment because that’s where your assets are the strongest and that’s where your staff is the most knowledgeable. And they’ve already made a good reputation in the industry, so it’s good infrastructure.

Tucker: The infrastructure’s good.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: The only thing that’s a little outdated is your distribution. It’s a little 20th-century.

Tucker: Yeah, except there’s a big demand for old stuff right now — vinyl, cds, even cassettes.

Devon: Yeah, that’s true. I was thinking that you could possibly capitalize on a niche market.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. So, what would you do with the less successful divisions? Just scrap them?

Devon: No, I wouldn’t do that at first. I would — I would want to take a look at what you have and see how the divisions could actually work with each other. Like, you have this random trucking company out of san antonio.

Tucker: Yeah. Did I tell you how I bought that one?

Devon: No.

Tucker: So, one of their drivers cut me off on the interstate, and the truck had one of those bumper stickers, you know, “how is my driving? Call 1-800…”

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: So I called [Laughs] Bought the company, and fired the driver.

Devon: Okay. Well, we’re not gonna be doing anything like that moving forward.

Tucker: Okay, good. Yeah.

Devon: So, my thought was we can use the trucking company for artists when they go on tours, to haul everything.

Tucker: That’s brilliant.

Devon: Yeah?

Tucker: Seriously. Yeah. That’s brilliant. And you could use the media division to stream those concerts. There you go. There’s more revenue.

Devon: That’s not a bad idea at all. Yeah, I can see how this could work.

Tucker: Absolutely. See? Well, look, we’re working well together already.

Devon: Hmm. Unless you treat dandruff regularly,

Tucker: Honestly, devon, i have faith that you and I can finally find some common ground, and maybe mccall unlimited is the way.

Devon: Well, I don’t know how you figure me buying your company is gonna help with us.

Tucker: Well, you buy the company and hire me to work for you.

Devon: I’m not gonna do that.

Tucker: Why not?

Devon: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, who knows this company better than me? I mean, look, we’re already on the same page, obviously. So, with your vision and my, um, uh, institutional knowledge, so to speak, we can’t lose.

Devon: No, we can lose.

Tucker: Well, but we’re not gonna lose. Trust me. Hell, I could just be the advisor to the ceo.

Devon: [ Chuckling ] Advisor. Alright, so, let me make sure I’m clear on all this. You are willing to sell me the company that you created and then take a smaller role to try and fix our relationship?

Tucker: Absolutely.

Devon: Hmm.

Phyllis: Okay, well, um, I’ll let you be on your way, so…

Summer: Thanks.

Phyllis: Oh! Hey, summer, I got a gift for harrison.

Summer: Oh. That’s nice of you.

Summer: Yeah. When I saw it in the window, it just screamed harrison. It was so cute. So — I don’t know — maybe i can bring it by or — you know, scratch that. I want to avoid jack and diane, so I’m not gonna bring it by. Maybe I’ll have it delivered or s– wait. They went on a trip, right?

Summer: Um…yeah. I-I don’t think that they’ll be back for a while.

Phyllis: Oh! Oh, it’s an extended vacation.

Summer: No, but you can drop harrison’s gift off anytime, mom.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, that seems fun. Where’d they go? Dubai? Someplace exotic?

Summer: Are you seriously fishing for information right now?

Phyllis: Why would I care about them?

Summer: Yeah, that’s the big question. Why do you care about them?

Phyllis: Ugh.

Summer: I mean, but you seem awfully curious about their whereabouts.

Phyllis: Okay, summer. I couldn’t care less about jack and diane.

Summer: I don’t buy it, mom. And honestly I just wish that you would stop using harrison in your plots for revenge against diane. It’s insulting.

Phyllis: I got a gift for harrison.

Summer: Did you? Really?

[ Scoffs ] Look, I-I don’t know where jack and diane are, but even if i did, I wouldn’t tell you.

Phyllis: Summer —

Summer: No, mom. I’m serious. I don’t want any part of any of your schemes against diane. Just leave her alone already.

Phyllis: Summer.

Ashley: So, it somewhat appears that your love life is on track, I guess. What about your work life? Do you have a job?

Billy: Funny you should ask that, actually. Jack offered me a job. He asked me to come back to jabot.

Ashley: No. Wait, he asked you to come back and you’re considering it? You can’t do that. It’s always been a disaster, billy. I mean, think about this.

Billy: Ashley, look at me. I’m a changed man.

Ashley: [ Laughing ] Oh! So, you think that people are capable of adjusting their behavior and becoming functioning members of society.

Billy: I do believe some people are capable of that.

Ashley: Well, then you must believe that there’s hope for tucker.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, maybe — just maybe — tucker could prove me wrong. And then again, maybe I’ll prove jack and you and everyone else who cares about me wrong, too, that I am capable of change. And I have to say, this relationship is unique. It’s really, you know, helped me see things in a different light, put my priorities straight. I don’t want to take things for granted, like family. So, yeah, I want to work with my family at the company that our father built.

Ashley: Sounds like you’re taking the job.

Billy: Jack, it’s me. Give me a call when you get a chance. I want to talk about this proposal.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Jack? Jack? Where are you? I’m steve.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Diane: “Off to find you the best dinner in a 50-mile radius. Open a great bottle of wine. I love you.” Mmm. Hmm.

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Diane: Ah! Nice try, jack, but you know it’s bad luck to see the bride. Now, just go back to the hotel, and I’ll see you when it’s time. Kyle!

Kyle: Can I come in? I come bearing gifts.

Diane: Oh, of course!

Kyle: I wasn’t sure if there was a superstition about the son of the bride.

Diane: [ Laughs, smooches ] Get in here quick. I wouldn’t put it past your father to be out there in the woods trying to catch a glimpse of me in this dress.

Kyle: Dad is tending to some last-minute details. He said something about releasing a thousand doves at the end of the ceremony. Is that true?

Diane: Oh, it’s — it’s just an idea I had. I had no idea he could make it happen.

[ Laughs ] Gosh, I love that man.

Kyle: I know. You’re glowing, you know?

Diane: I am?

Kyle: I’ve never seen you this happy.

Diane: Good — because I love feeling this way. It’s like a dream come true.

Kyle: Mm. For me, too. My mother and father finally coming together. I can’t tell you how many nights I wished for exactly this. It’s everything I’ve always wanted. It’s like the perfect ending to a fairy tale that got pretty rough when I was young.

Diane: Oh, kyle, I am so sorry.

Kyle: Mom, mom, mom, mom. There’s no need. If it weren’t for that pain, i wouldn’t be experiencing this level of happiness. Today is a gift.

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: And speaking of gifts…

Diane: Oh, that’s so sweet. You brought me something.

Kyle: This is from your groom. Dad had me deliver it because you’re so adamant about not seeing him today.

Diane: [ Gasps ] Oh, it’s amazing. Will — will you help me put it on?

Kyle: Of course.

Diane: Okay. Here, wait. Oh, gosh, I love it.

Kyle: Alright. Dad had it made especially for you.

Diane: Ahh.

[ Sighs ] It’s perfect.

Kyle: You’re perfect, mom.

Diane: Aww.

Summer: Oh, don’t wrinkle the bride’s dress.

[ Laughter ] Um, could I get a word with the bride? Oh, my gosh, that necklace. Diane, you look beautiful.

Diane: Thank you, summer.

Kyle: Mm. I’m going to go check on harrison, the most handsome ring bearer there ever was.

[ Laughter ]

Diane: Aww.

Kyle: See you, babe.

Diane: [ Sighs heavily ]

Summer: Diane, I have some things to say to you.

Diane: Summer, I know that you have complicated feelings about me getting married to jack, but I promise you —

Summer: You’re like a mother to me, the mother that phyllis could never be.

Diane: Oh, summer. That’s such a nice thing to say.

Summer: You’ve shown me what a mother’s love can do. And it hurts to know that my own mother can’t even come close to that.

Diane: Oh, honey, I am so sorry that phyllis hasn’t been there for you. But I’m here for you. Summer, call me mom. Aww!

Traci: Oh! Look, there’s so much love on a day like this.

Diane: Hi, traci.

Traci: Congratulations. I brought champagne…

Diane: Oh!

Traci: …To toast to your wonderful wedding.

Summer: Oh, none for me. I’ve got to go touch up my make-up.

Diane: Oh. Mwah! Thank you.

Traci: Alright. Jack tried to bribe me into letting him in to be a part of this toast, but I told him, “unh-unh-unh, some traditions have to remain intact.” Here you go.

Diane: Ah. Thank you, traci.

Traci: Nothing is going to spoil this wonderful day. Everything is going to be just perfect. And look at that necklace. It’s lovely.

Diane: Oh, well, thank you.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: You’re going to make the most beautiful bride. And jack is going to be the handsomest groom. Oh! As a wedding gift, I am going to write a novel about your inspirational romance.

Diane: Really?

Traci: My agent has already sold it in just a three-line pitch. In fact, we also have optioned it to hollywood, and they’re going to make it into a big movie. I’m going to call it “the return of the perfect woman.”

Diane: Oh, I love it!

Traci: Cheers!

Diane: Cheers!

[ Both laugh ]

Ashley: Not so fast.

I gotta good feeling

about this, yeah

Diane: Ashley, I hope we can set aside our differences today.

Ashley: I have no intention of faking anything today. I have nothing but love in my heart. I woke up and I said to myself, “you know, diane really has changed.” And I’m so sorry. I’ve been so unfair to you. And I apologize for making your life so difficult since you’ve returned to genoa city.

Diane: Oh, thank you! We’re going to be sisters!

Traci: Oh, group hug!

Diane: Yes, group hug! Mwah! You know what? I love jack, but I am going to love being an abbott.

Traci: And you are going to fit right in.

Ashley: And you have taught us so much about what it is to change and be a better person. I love you, diane.

Diane: Oh, thank you, ashley. Okay, I know it’s last minute, but it would mean so much to me — and I know it’d mean a lot to jack, too — if you could see it in your heart to stand by my side and be my maid of honor.

Ashley: Oh, nothing could make me happier.

Diane: Oh!

Traci: Oh! It’s time for a toast.

Ashley: Thank you.

Traci: To diane joining the abbott family.

Ashley: And to the most beautiful, beautiful wedding ever.

Traci: Cheers!

Diane: Cheers.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Mm! Look at the time. The horse-drawn carriage is gonna be here any moment to take you down to the lake. We’re gonna let you go ahead and finish getting ready.

Ashley: We’ll see you there.

Diane: Thank you both so much for accepting me into your family. Ashley, could you stay and help me with — this isn’t mine, is it? Is it nikki’s?

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Sighs ] Jack, I’ve told you — no sneak peeks. I’ll see you at the altar.

[ Pounding on door ]

[ Sighs ] You won’t give up, will you? Okay. One quick glance. Like traci said, nothing can ruin this day. It’s our time. Jack?

[ Gasps ]

Diane: [ Gasping ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

Chelsea: Come on in, billy. It’s open.

Billy: How’d you know it was me?

Chelsea: You have a very distinctive knock.

[ Door closes ]

Billy: Well, thank you for noticing. Been working on it for years. Want to go downstairs and grab a coffee or something?

Chelsea: I actually was just down there, and I’m kind of in a groove here, so I don’t want to stop.

Billy: Oh, yeah. Don’t want to disrupt that.

Chelsea: Never. I was stuck earlier, but now i think I got my groove back.

Billy: Good to see you in the flow.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yesterday, there were a lot of creative ups and downs. You know, I was feeling kind of low. I was feeling like all my ideas were bad, feeling like a failure.

Billy: No, don’t do that. Don’t start thinking about yourself that way.

Chelsea: Well, they’re my feelings. Don’t try to talk me out of them.

Billy: Got it. Yeah. Feel like I’m doing that a lot today — telling other people how to feel.

Chelsea: Well, then, knock it off.

Billy: Work in progress.

Chelsea: So, I was feeling stuck and I went downstairs and I saw something that triggered about 20 ideas. I realized I’ve been thinking about the game in a specific way that’s too limited, when in reality, the world is full of pain and conflict everywhere.

Billy: That sounds ominous. What did you see?

Chelsea: Well, I don’t want to get into specifics, but i just witnessed something that reminded me that there is a lot of pain and conflict and tension among families, amongst people who love each other a lot. They don’t know how to navigate it. And you see this everywhere. I mean, you see it in coffee shops, at the park. You see it at work. The world is full of complicated human interaction.

Billy: Sounds a little overwhelming.

Chelsea: Well, I think it’s an opportunity. You know, I think this game can really be a way for people to figure out how to dissect all sorts of human relationships.

Billy: Hmm. Yeah. No, I see it.

Chelsea: And, I mean, you know, why do video games have to be all about slaying dragons and — and blasting aliens? What if it is that, you know, our players here, um — you know, they have to navigate different personalities and that’s how they go further in the game?

Billy: Okay, but you still get to blast aliens, correct?

Chelsea: Well, of course. You have to have some blasting.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Yeah. There has to be some action element to it. But I feel like the better the player is at the interpersonal stuff, the easier it is. If they’re not good at the interpersonal stuff, then it’s next to impossible.

Billy: I love it.

Chelsea: Yeah?

Billy: Yes.

Chelsea: I mean, I really owe it all to daniel. I mean, he has this platform, and he’s giving me the tools to help people feel less alone.

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: I’m really excited about it. I want to change people’s lives. This cough.

[Sfx: Coughs]

Billy: I think it’s great. I really think you’re onto something. And you know what? I’ve played my fair share of video games in the past, you know, with reed and johnny and katie, so I know what I’m talking about.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: I think daniel’s lucky to have you playing in his sandbox. And you’re gonna crush it.

Chelsea: Thank you, billy.

Billy: No, really. I’m inspired. You know, you got me excited about my next endeavor.

Chelsea: Your next endeavor? Are you going back to jabot? Are you gonna accept jack’s offer?

Billy: I haven’t talked to him yet, but I feel like I’ve made my decision. It feels like the right place and the right time. You know, I want to bring fresh, new ideas.

Chelsea: Wow. I mean, you were — you were kind of in a similar spot last year with chancellor.

Billy: Yeah, no, I see it differently. I wasn’t all that excited about chancellor. I mean, really, I was there to support lily. And I did my best, but this just feels different, you know? I really — I really feel like i can make a difference in my family company and show up with my entrepreneurial spirit and energy and, you know, do it the way my dad did.

Chelsea: It’s fun to see you so enthusiastic about something.

Billy: You mean other than you.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ] No, it’s — it’s inspiring that we’re both excited about our futures, that we can take control and create a life with meaning and purpose. And we’re both doing it for the right reasons this time.

Phyllis: Texting summer?

Kyle: No. Something else.

Phyllis: Hmm. Alright, well, that’s good to know, that she didn’t get on the phone and text you immediately after I saw her saying what a monster I am.

Kyle: Well, she’d never say that, phyllis. She might think it, but she wouldn’t say it.

[ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: Mm.

Kyle: Okay, I think she just needs some time. I’m confident the two of you will work out your differences.

Phyllis: I’m glad you’re confident. I myself am hopeless.

Kyle: Phyllis, I’d love to stay and talk to you about this — and we should sometime — but I have to get to the office.

Phyllis: Oh, kyle! Your phone!

[ Telephone ringing ]

Diane: Hello? Hello? Jack? Jeremy, is that you?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]
