THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m sorry. We’re closed. I’m just on my way home. So if you’ll excuse me. Actually, if — if you got a few minutes, it’s important that I speak to you. We’ve talked already. I don’t see what more you could possibly need from me. I’m looking to get some answers about esme prince.

[ Screaming ]

[ Muffled screaming ]

[ Shushing ] Esme, shh.

[ Crying ] Sweetheart, shh, quiet. Everything’s going to be all right. Trust me, esme. Shh, darling, shh.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

[ Panting ]

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry, nikolas. I did love you. Well, the reception was nice. It just seemed a little tense at the end. I don’t know, but it seemed to me like portia was nervous about trina. Well, any complications that they have in their mother-daughter relationship can’t hold a candle to mine and willow’S. You wanna go to G.H.? No, there’s no point, sonny. Willow doesn’t want me there.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Let me see… business? Portia’s dress was so beautiful, and that cake was delicious. I heartily second the cake. Oh, and what about elizabeth’s speech? I was so impressed that she stood up and filled in for trina. Bet her daughter hated missing her mother’s toast. Well, she made it back in time for the bouquet, so it all worked out. Is everything okay with trina?

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] I’m sure she’s just tired from a very long day. Thank you guys so much for coming a-and for your beautiful speech.

[ Laughs ] You deserve every happiness. Thank you for stopping in. Congratulations, you guys. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. You look beautiful.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, curtis, I am going to go check on trina. Excuse me. Yeah, babe. Whatever you need. You may have the bouquet, but don’t get any ideas. Trina? Honey, are you okay? I told you before, I don’t know any esme prince. She needs your help. She’s in prison and — and she’s pregnant. Sounds like your friend’s in a bad way, but I can’t help you. Please leave. Look, I-I’m sorry. I-I traveled a long way for this. I can’t leave until I get some answers. Have a seat, then. I’ll just grab a pint. Want one? Uh, yeah, sure. That’d be incredible. Stout or ale? Uh, you can make mine a stout. Thanks. Brilliant.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Easy, easy, easy. Maggie fitzgerald. Hey, we need to talk. I’m sorry, nina, I gotta take this.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah, fine. Okay.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Drew: Joss. Hey. You looking for someone? Um, I was looking for trina and spencer, but I don’t see them. Ah. I’m here by myself. Well, there’s nothing wrong with that. I’m flying solo, too. Oh. We both know you shouldn’t be. Hm. Sorry, but I’m going to have to call our valentine’s date night short. Things are busy at work. Oh, don’t apologize. I don’t need grand romantic gestures. Although this chocolate cheesecake is sublime. If I haven’t told you tonight, I love you very much. I love you, too. You’ve been pretty busy yourself these days. Have I? Oh, I’m not too preoccupied to notice you slipping out for hours at a time at night on secret missions. Something to do with anna? If my missions were so secret, then you know that I cannot give you the details. Understood. Just be careful. Always. Okay. What about the hook investigation? Is there any evidence of ryan’s possible involvement? So far, only dead ends. I mean, we hoped heather webber would make good on her promise to get ryan chamberlain to open up. It was a long shot. Robert and I thought it was worth a try. No information, huh? No. Heather was stalling. Her time’s up. She’s going back to d’archam. We need to move. First, we have to dispose of this body, so I’ll need another hand, so to speak.

[ Muffled shouting] Kinda busy at the moment. But we’re gonna need your clothes. What? We haven’t got all day, ryan. Just — just go ahead. Strip. But — shh, shh, esme. Hi. Oh. Good, you changed. Mm. Chic to shady in no time flat. Shall we? Nope. Not yet. Well, you were the one who insisted that we move nikolas at night. Well, it’s night. It’s dark, and I’m ready. No more putting this off. It is time that I rid myself of my husband for good and bury the past. Is everything okay? We’re fine.

[ Chuckles ] Trina, your mom was very concerned when you missed the toast. Where’d you go? Were you with her? Spencer and I were together, but this has nothing to do with him. It has everything to do with you. What are you talking about? You really want to do this here, mom? I don’t exactly know what’s happening here, but you missed everything. You’ve been hiding something from me, something important.

PART MISSING HERE

I’m detective dante falconeri with the port charles police department in new york. Please forgive me. No one’s asked about esme since I came here. And then you show up with a cockamamie story about her being pregnant and in prison. Well, it’s actually not a story. She is pregnant and she’s in prison. That’s awful. What happened? Did the father lead her into trouble? W-well, that’s complicated, but she’s been accused of some pretty serious crimes that she didn’t commit, and then, unfortunately, some that — that she did. I mean, uh, she had a horrible accident, and — and she lost her memory. You and esme have a close relationship, right? We did. Well, you might be the only person with information that could exonerate her. Will you help us? Absolutely not. I’m not subjecting you to ryan chamberlain. I’m volunteering. Besides, you asked ava. Ava’s different. Why? Because she’s not your wife? Maybe. Look, felicia, when kevin and I approached ava, we wanted information on esme. We didn’t suspect chamberlain’s involvement. Now you do. Exactly. This is too dangerous. Look, chamberlain may not be physically attacking his victims, but signs point to him pulling the strings. I don’t want you in his crosshairs. I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened to you. We’ll get chamberlain another way. I understand, mac. And I know there — there are other ways to nail ryan. I hope you won’t be too long at spring ridge. I might still be up when you get home. It’s still valentine’s day, after all. That’s a good reason to get a move on. Just be careful out there. Back atcha. Anna, I’m going to be a little late getting to the house. There’s a stop I need to make. Whatever is going on, trina and portia, they’ll sort it out. I wish I knew what was going on, pop. Trina would never leave her mother’s wedding. When she got back, something was definitely off. I mean, I know my daughter. I’m going to go get some answers. Come in. Something I can do for you, gentlemen? Where were you with trina? And what the hell did that have to do with why she’s mad at her mom? Alright. So what’s this about? I went to see stella. I was worried she missed the wedding, and I went to check on her. I was going to convince her to come, if she felt up to it. But it turns out stella wasn’t sick. She just didn’t want to be there. And judging by the look on your face, you knew that already. I suspected. I didn’t understand. Stella was so excited. She flew back from england early. And then all of a sudden, she’s ghosting the wedding. When I asked her, she said she couldn’t come in good conscience, that there’s something you’re keeping from me and curtis. Stella said the secrecy and lies need to come to an end, but when I pushed her, she said I needed to ask you. So I’m asking, mom. I’m asking the mother that I’ve looked up to my entire life. What are you keeping from me?

I’m a survivor, austin. I’ve been tested more times than I care to count. The one thing that frightens me, the one thing that scares me to my core is the thought of losing my child. I cannot live through that again. I don’t know how I made it through the first time. So, when nikolas threatened to take avery… …I panicked. I couldn’t let him leave. I just wanted to stop him. I wanted to talk to him. I didn’t want to kill him. But I have a job to do, and I have to do it before elizabeth goes to the cops, because I will not be separated from my child. Fair enough. Let’s go do what we got to do.

[ Doorbell, knock on door ] Are you expecting someone? I’ll get rid of whoever that is, and I’ll meet you at the stables. Alright. What the… well, hi, felicia. Oh, I’m really sorry for just showing up like this, but I really need to talk to you. May I come in? Y-you know what? It’s — it’s actually not a very good time. It’s about ryan chamberlain. Hello? Do you ladies need help? Are you okay? So, what did brick want? Uh… okay. Don’t tell me. You guys went to discuss last night’s basketball scores? Do you really want to know? My love, I saw your face when brick called. Yeah. And that was enough to make me concerned. I can handle myself. I know you can handle yourself, but will you just humor me? Promise me that you’ll be extra careful. I promise. Finn has always been there for me. I’m grateful that hasn’t changed. I think a part of me will always love him. You went through so much together. It would test anyone. But the fact that you can still remain friends… maybe you’ll find your way back to each other. I don’t think that’s in the cards. I do wish things could be different. Terry tells me you and elizabeth are no longer. Why is this? Things just got complicated. Life is complicated. Love is not… with the right person. If only that were true. You’re going to have to talk to trina. Trina’s not here. You are. It’s really none of my business. Young man, there’s a time and a place for chivalry.

[ Scoffs ] But this ain’t it. Start talking, spencer. Trina and i went to go see stella. That’s where you went? Mm-hmm. Why? Mom, after I found out about your affair, we promised we’d be open with each other. I thought this was a turning point for us. It was. No, no, no. A-and I felt awful that you thought that you couldn’t trust me, a-and I was glad that we made it through that. So then why won’t you tell me what stella’s talking about? Please. Is it really bad? Um… you know how I told you that your dad’s work, it put a strain on our marriage, and how lonely and depressed I was, always feeling like I came in second to his job. And that’s when curtis came into my life. And you an affair. But stella implied that your relationship with curtis has something to do with whatever you’re keeping from me. Is she telling the truth? Did something else happen? Curtis found out that I was married, and he ended things. And I was heartbroken, but I went back to your father, and I was — I was determined to make things work, no matter what. Did you… did you stop loving dad? I-I, um… I just wanted to be a priority to him. I just wanted him to care about me. And I think — I think he sensed that I was struggling because he really started to put more of an effort into our marriage and he really started to — to love on me. And I thought, “this is amazing. Everything is going to be okay and everything is going to work out.” So what happened? Weeks later… I found out that I was pregnant.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, my god. No, no, honey, you don’t understand — no! I understand that you had an affair and you got pregnant! Are you saying… curtis is my father?

Of course I’ll help esme. I stopped being her nanny, but I never stopped caring about her. Wait, why did — why would you think that dante and i were setting a trap for you? I haven’t heard from esme in some time, and then you turned up asking questions. I’m afraid I assumed the worst. Which is what? I was afraid esme’s father had taken her and then sent you to make sure I never utter a word about him. Ever since esme tracked him down, I’ve been living in fear that he’ll come after me. You know who esme’s father is? We would like to talk to him. I mean, he could be the key to proving that esme didn’t commit these crimes, right? What exactly is esme accused of? There’s a serial killer who’s been terrorizing port charles. It isn’t esme. It can’t be. Uh, that’s what we believe also. And we’re trying to prove that. So if you could just tell us esme’s father’s name. Oh. Hello, chief. Thank god we ran into you. On the ground. Hands in the air. Oh, please, please, please, please. Oh, please help me. Please help me. Please, please, please, please. Put your hands in the air where I can see them. No, but you don’t understand. He made us do this. No! Now, that felt good! Hello, mac! What a delight to find you here.

[ Crying ] Okay, felicia, you definitely have my attention. You were working with the pcpd to get information out of ryan about esme. Are you interested in doing that again? Oh, no. No, no, I’m not. The pcpd has reason to believe that ryan is involved with the hook murders. Did you know that? Are you sure? An earring from one of ryan’s victims was found on rory cabrera’s person like a calling card. That would mean that ryan attacked me. How is that even possible? He’s a vegetable. Chances are ryan is masterminding everything, and he’s using someone else to do the footwork. We know where all of his weak spots are, ava. We can get him to give up something that will point to his accomplice. I think if we work together, we can get to him. What do you say? Where are you taking me? Just get in, sweetheart. Please let me go. It’s gonna be okay. Please let me go. Sweetheart. Please just put on your seatbelt. No, I don’t wanna do this. Everything’s gonna be alright. What is happening?! Alright, esme.

[ Car horn honks ] Come on! What?! I have to make sure he can’t follow us. We’re stealing his car. I think we’re okay. But it’s like kismet, him coming along. Oh, come on!

[ Alarm blaring in distance ] Look! That’s spring ridge now realizing we’re not in our rooms. They’re — any minute, they’re going to find the guard, and then they’re going to find us. Move it! Oh, alright. It’s no fun if you can’t see the light leave their eyes anyway. Get in, and let’s get this road trip started! After one more stop, of course.

[ Alarm continues blaring ] Trina felt that stella should be at the wedding. But my aunt stella’s sick. Y– um, trina felt that she could convince her, if she felt up to it, but… but — but what?

[ Laughs nervously ] Guys. We found out that stella was never sick. She just said that to get out of coming to the wedding. Why would she do that? I don’t know. Spencer, this hesitation is starting to work my nerves, man. You’re gonna have to talk to trina. Look, gentlemen, this concerns very, very personal family information to which I’m not privy, so if you’ll excuse me. Come on, aunt stella, pick up. She’s avoiding your calls? None of this makes any sense. Why would stella lie and stay away from your wedding? You think trina and portia have been gone long enough?

[Voice breaking] Mom, please, be honest with me. Answer me. Is curtis my father? I don’t know. What do you mean, you don’t know? I’m sorry, sweetheart. I don’T. So he could be? He might be? Yes. Your dad had come home from work, and I had just finished a pregnancy test. And he was so happy and excited. And I was thrilled. Instantly, honey, you were our whole world. And it was like a new beginning for us. We were a new family, and that’s all I ever really wanted. And curtis was — he was out of my life by his choice. And I was back with my husband, and things were just so much better. In our hearts, sweetheart, you are our child. And at the time, I-I didn’t see the point in finding out if he was your biological father. You’re a doctor! You didn’t see the point?! You let me live my whole life as a lie! No, no, no, no. Marcus is your father. He’s your father in every way. Dna, it doesn’t change that, trina. Does dad know? I never told him or curtis. You kept this to yourself? This huge secret affects all of our lives. This is my identity! You do not have the right to keep it from me. I didn’t want to upset you, trina. I didn’t want to upset your life. Yes, maybe I was fooling myself into thinking that this day would never come, but there’s still every chance that marcus is your father. I-I truly — I wanted to spare you from the pain of thinking that he might not be. No, no, no! Trina! You wanted to spare yourself! I’m sorry. I’m sorry that I kept this from you. I’m sorry about it all. Believe me, I know this is turning your life upside down. But, honey, I need you to know that your father and I, we love you. We love you so much. And every choice I’ve made from the second I found out I was pregnant with you has been about you. It’s been about doing what’s best for you. No, don’t! Don’t! Just don’T. How can I believe anything that you say? How can you stand there and say you love me when you kept this from me my entire life?

Ready to go? You change your mind about going to G.H.? Uh, I don’t think my heart can take it. Can we just go home? Yeah, you know I’d do anything for you. Yeah, I know that. That’s what gets me through all of this. Let’s go. Okay. You guys get home safely. Same. Enjoy the rest of your evening. Yours too. Bye, guys. Bye. [ Squeals ]

[ Chuckles ] Well, I guess — I guess it’s time to call it a night. Mm-hmm. I mean, you probably want to get home to the boys. Actually, all that’s waiting for me is an empty house. Jake and aiden are with friends, and cameron’s at his dorm. Oh, well, if you’re not quite ready to leave, I could go for a cup of coffee. Sounds really nice. Josslyn: Spencer. Hey, could you excuse me? Yeah. I’m gonna get going, too. If you see my mom, tell her I say hi. I will. Okay. Hey. Um, what happened with you and trina? I saw you guys head out, and when she came back inside, she looked upset. Did you do something? This time, joss, I can guarantee that I had nothing to do with it. Well, do you know if she’s okay? I have absolutely no idea. I know that you can’t comprehend this right now, but at the time, I thought I was doing the best thing for all of us, trina, I really did. No, you were doing — you were doing what was best for you, not for me or dad or even curtis. I thought it was bad enough that you cheated on dad — the man who will always be my dad, but may not be my father. It just — god, it just kills me that… you hurt him again. Oh, trina! I can’t — I can’t do this. I gotta get out of here. No, no, don’T. No! Don’t leave! No, you can’t — no! I can’t even look at you right now! We can work this out, trina! I can’t even look at you right now! I don’t know who I am anymore. But I sure as hell don’t know who you are.

[ Crying ] Portia: No! Her father is the devil incarnate. I tried to warn esme. I told her she’d be far better off without him, but… she was always desperate to know her parents. Well, who is he? We need a name. Yeah, please, maggie. We might be able to save her. His name is chamberlain. Ryan chamberlain. Oh, boy. Oh, okay. Okay. Alright, I’m — I’m in. I’ll… thank you, ava. You won’t regret it. Well, if ryan is behind my attack, it’d be my pleasure to help take him down. But I can’t do anything about tonight, though, because I — I have other priorities. Yeah, well, so do I, actually. I need to be on my way. Okay. So we’ll talk about the details tomorrow? You bet. Have a good evening.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 stop? We have one chance at escape, and you want to pull over? Because why? You’re jonesing for a slurpee? Ha! Hardly. Oh, I get it. This is about your precious little ava, isn’t it? A heart wants what it wants. Yeah, I doubt it’s your heart calling the shots, lover boy. Come on, ryan! Gets your head back into the game. The more you dillydally, the closer detective falconeri and his girl come to blowing us up. That barmaid, I think she knows more about maggie fitzgerald than she’s letting on. You know, we could be a lot closer to finding esme’s parents than we thought. Well, I hear you, and I agree, but maybe we shouldn’t get ahead of ourselves, right? We have a hunch right now. We don’t have any proof. Then we find some. Any suggestions? I think that you should go to that pub and push that barmaid for some more answers. Well, yeah, I could do that. Or — or — you know, hear me out. But are you — are you still… what? …Feeling jet-lagged?

[ Door opens ] My usual lager, love. Sorry, cyril, we’re closed. Dear. Oh, dear. I suppose I’ll see you tomorrow, then. Cyril, wait. Yeah? What time’s the next train to london? Ah, the express departs at the quarter-hour. Going on holiday? Something like that. To the best of the best! Congratulations! Guests: The best of the best! Mm. Drew, thank you so much. I love you guys. Thank you. That was beautiful! You’re amazing. Well, well… my man. That was perfect. I love you, bro. I meant every single word. Okay. Ah, it is the maid of honor’s turn next. Whoo!That’s right.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Trina robinson, show yourself.

[ Singsong voice ] Where is trina?

[ Laughs ] I know she was so excited to give her toast. Well… where could she be? She, uh, probably didn’t know that we would be making toasts so soon. I suppose she could give hers later. Well, I-I guess that every wedding has their hiccups, right? I guess this is ours. You mean, uh, our hiccup wasn’t aunt stella taking a sick day?

[ Laughs ] No, that was a hitch. Right. Okay. So I guess we just go with the flow. It is our day, after all. Yeah.

[ Clinking ] Kiss! Kiss! Man #1: Yeah! Man #2: Yeah, here we go!

[ Laughter ] Already? Kiss her! Kiss her!Yeah! Yeah! All: [ Chanting ] Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Man: There you go. Whoo! Come on, now. Remember — go with the flow.

[ Laughs ]

[ Guests cheering ] Oh, that’s juicy!

[ Cheering continues ] We’re all watching! Trina. I-is everything alright? Your mother… yeah, she’s fine. Uh, a-and curtis is too. The wedding is beautiful, and everyone’s at the reception. Then why… I was worried about you. I thought, um… well, I just thought you must be really sick to miss my mom and curtis’s wedding. Can we come in? Yeah. Are you feeling better, miss henry? No chicken soup from room service? No boxes of tissues? No cough drops? I might have exaggerated the state of my health somewhat. I-I just needed a quiet evening. A quiet evening? Instead of A… major family celebration. I’m sorry. I — I don’t understand. What would keep you from my mom and curtis’s wedding?

Okay, attention, everyone. There’s been a slight change in plans. We will pick up the speeches later. So in the meantime, I encourage you to — well, we encourage you to eat, drink, and be merry. Actually, I would love to give a toast. Is now a good time? I cede to the lovely lady. Are you trying to distract me? Mnh. Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. No, no, no. No. I’m just — I’m just, you know, trying to collect my thoughts. But it’s weird, you know, like, none of them — none of them are telling me to go back to that pub and hold the barmaid’s feet to the fire. Oh, no, no, no, I didn’t mean for you to go and interrogate her, but it’s pretty obvious that that barmaid knows a lot more about esme’s nanny than she’s letting on. Right, you know, that’s, uh… you know, something we could do in the morning. And give her time to warn the nanny? Are you kidding me? By that time, maggie fitzgerald could be off in the wind. Bye. Get home safe. Good night. Half an hour before the train. Archie. Sorry to call so late, but, uh [Clears throat] I am, uh, coming down with something terrible.

[ Clears throat ] I feel it in the back of my throat. So can you open up for me tomorrow morning? Well, you’ll just have to reschedule ’cause I’m not gonna be here!

[ Exhaling sharply ] Here I am, trying to save our little family from ruin, and you’re plotting a rendezvous with that harlot? You know what? I’m taking this back. You know, your jealousy of ava is getting really old. Ha! You ever thought of deep breathing? Oh, I see. So you want me to meditate while those two nosybodies are on the hunt for esme’s long-lost nanny? Well, maybe they wouldn’t be on the hunt if you weren’t so willing to talk to detective falconeri. Detective falconeri gave me no choice. I was protecting esme! While you sit there lounging in that chair all day long, I’m the one doing all the work.

[ Sighs ] Mm. No, no, don’t see it. Oh, sorry. I was just looking for my violin. Well, who broke out of prison? Who’s the one seeking retribution for everyone that wronged esme? Who broke back into prison? You never once thanked me for all my hard work. I even let that perky wannabe princess felicia cozy up to me. You what?! So let’s all raise a glass to the happy couple. To portia and curtis. Guests: To portia and curtis!

[ Cheering ] Yeah! Hey. What a wonderful speech that was, wasn’t it? It’s a gift. All these people expressing their love, their admiration for you both. It’s amazing. We are blessed. Yeah. Ava, I’m recording wedding messages for portia and curtis. Is there anything you want to add? Get everything in writing.

[ Exhales sharply ] What was that? Mm, may the road rise up to meet you. Oh. How poetic.

[ Mid-tempo jazz music playing ] Hey. Oh! At risk of complimenting my own hotel, doesn’t the ballroom look spectacular? Yes! Beautiful! To you. Oh! And your most classy venue. Well, thank you. Well, I own half of the hotel. You know what? Are you still hungry? ‘Cause I can try to go find a server, get you a little bit more food. Okay, I’ll be right back. Hmm! She’s overcompensating. She’s — she’s just worried, you know? For willow, she doesn’t want to spoil the wedding. Yeah. Must be tough putting on a brave face under the circumstances. I’m proud of her. Me too. Anything I can do? Yeah. Just keep her distracted. Will do. Hey, I appreciate you’re such a good friend to nina. Okay. Little bit more food. Alright. Um, didn’t you think that elizabeth’s toast was sweet? Yeah, sweet. A little saccharine, but — but nice. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, you know what? Um, I’m gonna go see laura. Is that okay? Oh. Yeah. So… hmm? Mm. What did you think of drew’s speech? Mind if I, uh, sit down? Oh, of course. Come. So… I-it was a nice ceremony, right? The officiant was — was top-rate.

[ Laughs ] Not too last-minute? I don’t think anybody would even know that he didn’t have time to prepare. Oh, great. Thank you. I feel sorry for stella, though — to come down ill in the 11th hour. You know, I was looking forward to seeing her, and I don’t know what happened to her. Y-you think she’s all right? Hope so. Would you just look at that beautiful wedding cake just waiting to be eaten? Oh, I know. Molly has been eyeing that cake ever since we got here. She’s not the only one. Well, I guess that’s our cue. Yes! Let’s do it. Cake time. There’s a reason I wasn’t at the wedding. Good reason. A reason your mother would understand. But you didn’t tell her the real reason. You said you were sick. It’s true I lied. A-and I hated doing it. But I didn’t want to make portia’s day about me. I don’t get it. My mom was worried about you. Why would she understand your absence? She found it.

Did you and my mom talk about something when you went to pick up your dresses? Otherwise, I-I really — I really don’t understand. It’s not for you to understand, trina.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. That — that didn’t come out right. I… I just didn’t want to complicate things. I know how difficult it is planning a wedding, and that’s why I asked laura to take my place. One less thing for curtis and portia to worry about. But that still doesn’t explain why you wouldn’t perform the ceremony. Aunt stella, what are you not telling me?

[ Sighs ] In my experience, the longer that secrets are kept, the more damage they do. Well, with all due respect to your experience, young man, this is a family matter. And last time I checked, you’re not family. You’re right. I apologize. But I’m family now. Right? Yes, baby, you are. And so I’ll say this — I wanted to be there, but I simply couldn’T. Not in good conscience.

[ Squeals softly ] Okay. Yes. Yay.

[ Guests cheering ] You smear cake in my face, you will live to regret it.

[ Laughter ] Wouldn’t dream of it. Man: Don’t do it.

[ Laughs ] Daddy’s watching.

[ Laughter ] How’s that? It’s perfect. Woman: Oh, cute.

[ Laughs ] It’s delicious!

[ Laughs ] You still want to be my wife? That’s all I want. Yes! It’s so good. Oh, man. Boy, some kind of wedding, isn’t it? Sure is. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] Everything okay with you? It’s nothing. I just — I just wish I could do more, give something to curtis, show him how much I love him. Granddad. Hey. Uncle curtis, he knows. And you being here, I mean, that’s the best gift you could possibly give him. Tj. Hey, could I borrow you for a minute? Yes, one sec. One sec. Okay. One sec. Try not to worry so much. Okay? Promise. Hell to the no. Good.

[ Laughs ] I love you. I love you more.

[ Sighs ]

There’s something ’bout the way you move me, baby… okay, go. Welcome to the family, portia. Don’t forget about trina. Just kidding. Trina… you have always felt like family, and now it’s just official. But stepcousin doesn’t quite do it justice. I see you as a sister. Okay. Whew! Hey, no tears, babe. This is a happy occasion. I am happy! Ahh. I thought your speech was very nice. Oh, well, you don’t want to hear what I think of drew cain. Now I do. Well, he and carly are involved, and they’re trying to hide it for some reason. And since carly doesn’t do anything without an agenda, I’m sure the reasons are less than legitimate. You see that smile on spencer’s face when he saw trina? Like the weight of the world was off his shoulders. She brings out the best in him. He needs that now more than ever. Little chance he’s gonna get that from nikolas. Who knows why drew and carly are keeping things quiet. Their reasons might not make sense to anybody but the two of them. But, I mean, I have nothing to say on the matter. I mean, look at me. I’m a mess. I’m clearly no expert in relationships. You idiot! You know better than to play games with felicia scorpio. Did you just call me an idiot. Well, if the shoe fits. Ryan, you were with me when felicia came here. With her hubby. You know, threatening to send us both back to d’archam. Remember? It’s not like we were having tea and crumpets. And you haven’t seen her since? No! The brothers scorpio ganged up on me when I was having my physical at G.H. Two broken records, again threatening to send me back to d’archam. But since I’d of course prefer to have spring ridge as my base of operations, I told them that I would cozy up to you and glean some useful tidbits about your relationship with esme, which would prove that, of course, she was the one who killed their boy in blue, officer cabrera. Right. And just what did you tell them? Nothing useful. I was just stringing them along. And protecting you in the meantime. You’re welcome. I don’t need protection. You know what I’m capable of. Maybe back in the day, lover boy. But, I mean, come on. Look at you. I mean, you’re not exactly, uh, in practice.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, not much more, really, than a piece of furniture.

[ Laughs ] Yeah.

[ Gasping ] Think again. And he’s back! Ladies and gentlemen, the ryan chamberlain we all know and love. The ryan chamberlain we need.

[ Laughs ] So come on, ryan. Just get ready. Get yourself ready to act. ‘Cause I-I feel it in my bones. The hour is nigh.

[ Exhales sharply ] You know, and just in case you feel like exercising your legs tonight… feel free.

in life same story every night. Time in the rocking chair.” Don’t sweat it, sweetheart. Baby books are for suckers. “You know more than you think you do.” Dr. Spock. He was the foremost pediatrician of the 20th century and a very wise man. Look, that may be true, but I am in prison. There aren’t exactly any rocking chairs in here. I don’t know what’s gonna happen to us. Oh, my sweet girl. You don’t have to worry about a thing. Everything’s gonna be taken care of. Taken care of? What does that mean? I guess you might have a point. I mean, who is that barmaid anyway, right? Exactly. I mean, we just happened upon the pub. We thought she was someone local. But what if she knows more about maggie fitzgerald than she’s letting on? You’re not gonna let this go, are you?

[ Laughs ] No. Not a chance. Come on, come on.

[ Sighs ] Sorry, archie. Your toast was beautiful. Oh, thank you. I meant every word. I know you did. You know, when I was speaking, it suddenly hit me — what if this is my last chance to tell everybody how I feel? Hi, mr. Ashford. I was wondering if you wanted to say anything for portia and curtis’s wedding video. Oh, no. No, I-I… are you sure? Alright. Okay. Alright, I’ll try. Okay. Hello, curtis. Hi, portia. Uh, it’s been my, uh — my pleasure. It’s been… no, no. Well, it’s been my honor to… I-I’m sorry, dearie. I mean, miss dearie. I’m not good at speechifying. It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t worry. Please. Marshall’s gonna lay it out a little bit later with the band backing him up. Okay. Alright? Yeah, yeah. Right, drew. Right. You know, it means the world to me that spencer still has you in his life. Well, listen, let me put it this way — spencer is all I have left of my sister. I love that kid. I know you do. I just wish he could have that kind of closeness with his father. Ava, I am so sorry. Here we are at a wedding, and you and nikolas just finalized your divorce. Nikolas… should never have come back to port charles. We’d all be better off. No sign of trina? She’s not responding to my calls or texts. Now I-I’m officially getting worried. I mean, where is she? I’ll go look for her. No, no, no, no, no. I appreciate it, but I’m probably just overreacting. Besides, you’re the man of the hour. You can’t disappear too. Josslyn, josslyn. Have you seen trina anywhere? Oh, you know, she texted me earlier that her and spencer needed some air. Um, I’m sorry. I should have told you that before. Well… see? She’s fine. Good conscience? What does my mom marrying curtis have to do with your conscience?

[ Sighs ] You — you may be too young to understand this, but as you get older. There are things you just don’t say. You equivocate because you want everybody to get along. Most importantly, you don’t want to hurt anyone. And all that stuff you didn’t say, it catches up with you. What haven’t you said? Aunt stella, are you — are you upset that my mom had an affair with curtis? I mean, that was 20 years ago. Or do you think, because she cheated on my dad, she’ll cheat on curtis?

My gosh, how you move me like air, you’re all I breathe you ready? Look, look, I’m gonna tell everyone I’m a little rusty, and they shouldn’t expect anything. No, no, no, no. This is what’s gonna happen. Okay, I’m gonna go out there and I am gonna introduce you. Alright. And then you are gonna walk out on stage and you are gonna play because you are a pro. Okay. You got this. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, right. Alright! Right. Alright, everybody! Doesn’t the band sound fantastic? Whoo! Give them some love up here! Whoo, whoo! Woman: Yes! Well, it’s about to get even better. Let me tell you that. Have you ever wondered where curtis gets his impeccable style, rhythm, and charm? Yeah, you. We’re talking about you. You’ve wondered. Well, guess what.

[ Laughter ] It is my great pleasure to introduce to you the father of the groom. Put your hands together, please. Marshall ashford’s coming out! Woman: Marshall!

[ Guests cheering ] You know about this? I’m just as surprised as you are. Oh, thank you. Thank — thank everyone. Um, I, uh… I want to dedicate this song to my son and — and his lovely wife.

[ Mid-tempo jazz music plays ] You sure you don’t wanna come back to this pub with me? Well, I mean, I would — I would like to go back, but I think it’s a really good idea if you go, because I think that that barmaid would be more willing to talk to you without me there. Mm. I get it. So you get to stay here and get all naked and cozy in this bed and sleep off your jet lag?

[ Laughs ] Yeah, no, I wish. I am going to be busy cybersleuthing the local school areas. I don’t know, maybe maggie was a third-grade teacher or something. I don’t know. I’ll figure something out. I respect you and your diligence. Thank you. Good luck. Cheerio. Ha! Cheerio, m’lady. What do you mean, it will all be taken care of? Just that you need to relax. These baby hormones are driving you a little crazy, aren’t they? All I meant was it’ll all work out. And how do you know that? Well, your baby daddy’s very rich. He’s not gonna let you languish in here, or his baby. Five minutes till lights out. Time to head back to your cellblocks. So, uh…come on. W-why don’t I take you back to your room? I’ll even show you a shortcut.

[ Guests cheering ] Wow. No, it’s not about your mother’s affair with curtis. Not exactly. But it’s part of it.

[ Sighs ] I’m sure that you know I kept a secret from curtis, and it almost ruined our relationship. Curtis spent 40 years without a father, and my silence was part of the reason. That experience changed me, and I will not keep a secret like that ever again. Maybe I should leave you two alone. No. Please stay. Okay, um… aunt stella, I’m kind of freaking out. Is there something my mom doesn’t know about curtis?

Thank you so much for coming, guys. Hey, thank your groom. Yeah, like I told you, curtis made all the arrangements. Well, you still had to show up. We wouldn’t have missed it for the world. And it’s wonderful to see you so happy, sweetheart. Yeah. It feels pretty wonderful too. I’m just upset that I didn’t get to see more of my niece. I mean, it’s so weird. She’S…off with a friend. Let’s just…yeah. Instead of being with her mom on her wedding day? Hey, go easy on my granddaughter, zeke. Yeah. You’re only young once. Yeah, I know. Alright, we’re out. Bring it in. Ohh!

[ Laughs ] Congrats. Congrats. Thank you. Sweetheart. Mm! Take care. Thanks again. Okay. You’re welcome. Thank you. Stella: There’s something portia needs to tell curtis, and she needs to tell you too. You deserve the truth. Why can’t you tell me? Even though I’m family now, it’s not my place. Now, the truth is gonna be hard for you to hear, but I believe you’re gonna be better off for it. And I trust that you will look after your friend. Yes, ma’am. You mind if I hug you? You’re a smart, strong young woman, and I believe that you’re gonna make it through. Let’s go. What was that about? I have no idea. But I’m gonna find out. Okay, miss malone, miss green… ugh! Come on, maggie fitzgerald. What happened? Did you marry? You just change your name? What am I looking…

[ Knock on door ] Oh.

[ Clears throat ] Hey, miss bletchly. I’m sorry to trouble you, ms. Mccall. May I come in? Yes. Yes, of course. I forgot to ask at check-in if you preferred coffee or tea in the morning. Oh, you know, coffee. Coffee would be great. Okay. Uh, is there — is there something else? Well, I noticed mr. Falconeri went out again. It — it is none of my business, but the village closes early. He’ll be quite disappointed if he went out sightseeing. Oh, uh, you know what? Dante, um, he likes to take long walks at night. I-it helps him sleep. Well, that’s quite alright, then. Yeah. Um… have you been in this village long?

[ Chuckles ] My entire life, dear. So I’m sure you practically know everyone. Indeed I do. And you don’t miss much? Well, I suppose I’m more observant than most. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions? W-where are you taking me? Oh, this — this way’s faster, sweetheart. You’ll — you’ll see.

[ Keys jingling ] What are you doing here? Oh, what have you gotten me into?

Oh, lord, did I do the right thing? Please tell me I didn’t destroy my family. I’ll help if I can. Okay. Good. Thank you. My partner and I, we were looking for a woman. Her name’s maggie fitzgerald. Does that name mean anything to you? I’m sorry, I — I am observant, just not terribly good with names. Okay. Um… well, do you know of a woman in the village who may have worked as a nanny or possibly a schoolteacher? Hmm, a nanny? Oh! I believe the barmaid at the pub once worked with children. Wait, the — the barmaid. Mm-hmm. Wait, are you talking about the woman who’s — who’s tall with the curly red hair? Yes, that’s her. Oh, she worked as a nanny in america. Her name’s margaret. Is that the woman you’re looking for? Hey, I’m sure trina will be back any second. If you want, I’ll go look for her. No, no, no. That’s okay. Let’s — let’s throw the bouquet. Are you sure? I didn’t want trina to catch it anyway.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Everybody, the bride is ready to throw her bouquet. Everybody get on the floor and take your chances. Come on. Look out! There will be blood.

[ Laughter ] Okay! You’re not going for the bouquet?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, sonny. I’d rather crawl over broken glass. You’re not the only one leaving early. Nikolas isn’t taking her calls, and she’s worried. And the way I feel, I wouldn’t care for one second if I ever saw him again. I’m so — I’m so sorry, officer. We just got turned around. She said this was a shortcut to my cell. I’m escorting you back. You don’t need to be rough. Huh. Where did you get these? Oh, you know, I found those in the dayroom. Are — are they important? Yeah, hold — don’t move. Aah! Hey, esme. Road trip? Toss the bouquet already. We’re not getting any younger. Okay! Okay, okay.

[ Drumroll plays ] Whoo! Aah!

[ Cymbals clash ]

[ Laughs ] Trina, we have been trying to find you. And I’ve been trying to find answers.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Hey, do you want me to fix one of these up for you? You still like butter and jam, right? Lucy.

Heather: It’s — it’s not you. It is hard to get her attention when she’s on her phone. Hey. Hi.

Lucy: Yeah?

Heather: Your dad wants to know if you’d like a biscuit.

Daniel: Okay. Well, she sure seems to be in a different mood than she was last night.

Heather: This is a lot for her to handle. But that doesn’t give her a license to ignore us. Honey, we’re talking to you.

Daniel: It’s okay. I don’t mind. I just want her to be comfortable.

Heather: Okay. I mean, I am trying to be really sensitive to all that she’s going through. But it doesn’t mean she can be disrespectful and rude.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. I agree, but, you know, my time with her right now is just so short. Maybe you could let it slide just this once?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. What a surprise to see you all here together.

Kyle: What are you doing here?

Adam: Well, good morning to you, too.

Kyle: Hey, you didn’t get everything off your chest yesterday? You gave quite a performance, a self-deprecating yet melodramatic swan song. And yet you’re back the next day. So, if you’re having second thoughts or you’re looking to cause trouble, today’s not the day.

Adam: Yeah, it sounds like maybe you need to get something off your chest.

Kyle: Yeah, well, I have nothing to say to you.

Adam: Yeah. That’s because you got what you wanted, kyle.

Kyle: Mm. But why doesn’t it feel that way? Oh. Right. I’m still having to deal with you.

Adam: You know, I’m just here to pick up the rest of my things.

Kyle: Yeah, jabot has a policy of sending them to fired employees.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Jeremy: Victor newman.

Victor: Do I know you?

Jeremy: Perhaps from my mugshot.

Victor: Oh, yeah. You’re the slimeball who was involved in stealing my wife’s necklace.

Jack: You know, we have a very important decision to make.

Diane: We do? I thought we made the big one yesterday.

Jack: Yes, moving in together is a monumental step, but almost as important, I need to know that you’re okay with your side of the bed. I mean, once you make that choice, there’s no turning back.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I think we’re good.

Jack: Yeah?

Diane: Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

Summer: Morning, jack.

Jack: Summer.

Diane: Morning. Morning.

Summer: Diane, you’ve certainly made yourself at home. Coverage, care, get it all.

Jack: Summer, the tone.

Summer: My tone?

Jack: I don’t know if it’s due to diane’s presence or the fact that you’re angry at kyle over his colluding with victor, but either way, I think I speak for both of us in saying it is not appreciated.

Summer: I’m sorry. I didn’t even know that I was doing it. I’m sure that sometimes I can be hostile intentionally, but this wasn’t one of those instances, so…I apologize.

Diane: No worries. It’s perfectly understandable.

Jack: It was not intentional, but you’re so angry at kyle that it just came out that way naturally.

Summer: Exactly. I mean, I’m — I’m furious with him. I just — I can’t believe that he went behind my back like this.

Diane: I’m sure he’s very sorry.

Summer: Yeah. He’s sorry. I mean, he was apologizing profusely last night again. But a bunch of “I’m sorries”? That’s not gonna make this alright.

Jack: I think it’s understandable that you’re still angry. This is gonna take some time.

Summer: I mean, what was he thinking? Jack, you must be just as angry at him.

Jack: Yes, I’m angry. I’m frustrated. But I also know from life that pretty much everything is forgivable. Diane and I talked about this a whole lot last night, and I woke up determined to put this behind me and move forward, to focus on what is doable and not what has already been done. Kyle is, I think, genuinely repentant, and in the big picture, that’s what’s most important.

Summer: [ Sighs ] I mean, I think that’s right. He’s definitely not sorry for what he did to adam, but I — I do think that he feels terrible about deceiving us. I really want to forgive him. I do. I guess I’m just not there yet.

Adam: I didn’t exactly lose my job. I don’t — I don’t know if you remember, but I actually — i resigned. But I would like to thank you for accelerating the inevitable.

Kyle: Mm.

Adam: You know, like I said, jabot is not the right place for me. So, just so we’re clear, there are no hard feelings on my part.

Kyle: And I have no feelings about you one way or the other.

Adam: Okay. Consider me off your plate. But I really wish you’d make up with jack. He is a good guy.

Kyle: Yeah, you don’t have to tell me that.

Adam: My father, on the other hand — the jury’s still out on that one. Can I give you a little piece of advice? Even when the cause is valid, it’s not a good idea to team up with victor. I’ve learned that one the hard way.

Kyle: Yeah, I’m not you, but thanks.

Adam: Wow. You’re just not giving an inch, are you? I will leave you with a compliment. I really admire your willingness to go to such extremes to protect your family.

Kyle: That’s never going to change.

Phyllis: Hey, so, what are we having for breakfast?

Daniel: Now’s not really a great time, mom.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I don’t want to intrude. It’s just, um, so great to see you here. It really is. And, hey, lucy, we didn’t get to spend a lot of time together in portugal.

Lucy: Hey, phyllis.

Heather: Sweetie, it’s “grandma.”

Phyllis: No, it’s phyllis. She was right, so… it’s so great to see my very, very handsome son and my gorgeous granddaughter here together — and heather, so… why didn’t you tell me that you were planning on coming to genoa city? I mean, we could have flown from portugal together. Um, perhaps, uh, you re-read the press release on daniel’s gaming platform and you realized it was better to be together as a family.

Heather: Phyllis, I don’t know if —

Daniel: Mom.

Phyllis: What?

Daniel: Just stop.

Victor: How is it that you’re walking the streets of genoa city a free man?

Jeremy: It’s simple. I’m not the one who took your wife’s necklace.

Victor: Who did?

Jeremy: I think you know.

Victor: Why don’t you enlighten me?

Jeremy: Diane jenkins and jack abbott had me framed.

Victor: Jack abbott and diane jenkins. I’m not surprised those two would come up with a cockamamie scheme like that.

Jeremy: Could I get a large coffee to go, please? You know, you and I have a lot more in common than you think.

Victor: Really?

Jeremy: Like our mutual disdain for jack and diane.

Victor: Uh-huh. Maybe we could use that to our advantage.

Victor: I despise both of them. But the enemy of my enemy doesn’t make you my friend. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Phyllis: Uh, hey, guys, don’t want to intrude. Just making conversation, that’s all.

Daniel: Well, read the room. I can’t believe you’re forcing me to say this. Nothing you think worked out did.

Phyllis: What do you mean?

Daniel: Take a second look around.

Phyllis: Uh…I mean, it looks —

Daniel: Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for forcing us all to face what is painfully obvious.

Heather: We really need to get going. Come on.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, I’m sorry if I misunderstood. I’m very, very sorry, daniel. How long are you in town? I’m sure that summer would love to see you.

Heather: That is a decision for daniel and me to make.

Daniel: And it’s not that type of visit.

Heather: We have to get back for work and for school, although we are gonna visit christine and paul because they’ve been dying to see lucy and me and it would be unfair —

Phyllis: Wait a second. Wait a second. You — you set up a meeting with christine and not with me?

Daniel: Okay, well, that’s enough. Um, I’ll go back to the hotel with you guys.

Heather: Okay.

Lucy: Bye, phyllis.

Phyllis: Bye. Bye-bye.

Heather: Bye, phyllis.

Summer: Hey.

Kyle: You’re talking to me. That’s a good sign.

Summer: I’m talking, but I’m not sure you’re gonna like what I have to say.

Kyle: Summer, how long is this going to go on for? How long are you gonna stay mad at me?

Adam: Don’t worry. I’m on my way out. As in, not coming back. Oh, you guys wanna check and make sure I didn’t take off with any special jabot artifacts?

Kyle: Well, you seemed so disinterested when you were working here, I can’t imagine you’d want to take anything that would remind you of the place.

Adam: [ Inhales sharply ] Fair enough. And like I said, kyle, no hard feelings, okay? I know you were just doing what you felt you had to.

Summer: Adam, can you just stop? He didn’t have to do that. He didn’t have to deceive his family.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Adam: That sounds like something I don’t want to get in the middle of. But, summer, you should know this. I understand what he was trying to do. His intentions weren’t pure, but they were well-meaning. So, I wish you success at marchetti and with each other.

[ Elevator doors close ]

Kyle: That was the person who was the victim of my scheme with victor. He has forgiven me. Why can’t you?

Summer: Yeah, he forgave you because he’s not married to you.

Phyllis: Oh, wow. Ah, okay. I guess, um, this is what you meant when you said diane hadn’t let you down.

Diane: Jack and I are back together. And he insisted that I move in with him.

Phyllis: Hmm. Wow. This is rich. Uh, when I so-called rubbed our relationship in diane’s face, it was unforgivable. But now that she’s doing it, um, it’s perfectly acceptable.

Victor: No, why you’re here in genoa city doesn’t concern me, and whatever scheme you’re cooking up with jack abbott and diane jenkins doesn’t interest me, either.

Jeremy: Fair enough. Thank you. I’ve got to get going. I have a few things to take care of myself.

Victor: Before you go, let me tell you this. You do not use anyone in my family as a pawn. Should you prevail upon any of them or someone in my orbit, I’ll come after you.

As I was saying earlier in

the meeting, I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. Bye, bye cough.

Jack: No, this is nothing like what happened between you and me. All diane did was share our news with you directly, news you would have found out anyway. And she did not use our relationship to manipulate any situation.

Phyllis: Your entire relationship, jack, is built on manipulation.

Jack: More importantly, i think it is time we all stop dwelling in the past. This is where we are now. Maybe we could all focus on the present, move to the future with a little kindness and understanding.

Phyllis: Uh, you’re kidding, right?

Jack: Come on. Let’s have a seat.

Diane: Was I gloating or bragging?

Jack: You may have been a little overzealous, but I share your enthusiasm about our moving in together. Besides, we didn’t know phyllis was gonna be here. It wasn’t like you were using the situation to manipulate her. All is forgiven.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Kyle: Okay, how many times do I have to apologize? I’ve said I’m sorry in every way I can think of. I wish I hadn’t made the decisions I did — most notably, the choice to lie and omit things from you. Look, when we got married, we entered into a partnership, a promise to share every aspect of our lives together. Somewhere I lost sight of that. And I know there is nobody in the world more invested in me than you.

Summer: I’m glad that you feel that way.

Kyle: I-I get it. I do. So, can we please let this go and stop fighting? Just forgive and grow from it. I hope you can see how remorseful I am, so I am asking you — can we please move on?

Adam: Hello, father.

Victor: Hey, adam. Have a seat.

Adam: You know, I — I wanted to congratulate you.

Victor: On what?

Adam: I really — I hope I’m the first one to tell you this, but I just wanted you to know that I, uh — I’ve officially resigned from jabot.

Victor: I’ll be damned.

Adam: So you can consider your campaign a tepid success. In the end, I did leave of my own accord, but your interference did play a big part.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Are you liking your new school?

Lucy: It’s cool.

Heather: Um, you know what? Maybe lucy could stay here while I run back to the room to grab a couple things. I mean, I don’t really, uh — i don’t need a disinterested teenager in my way.

Daniel: Yeah, sure. Uh, I’d love a few more minutes with her before you go see paul. If that’s okay with you?

Heather: [ Clears throat ] Hand over your phone.

Lucy: What? How come?

Heather: So that you can talk with your dad for a few minutes without your hands being glued to it.

Lucy: [ Sighs ]

Heather: You are capable of going 10 minutes without it. Thank you.

Daniel: Thank you. She found it.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. Wait… do you use singlecare?

Daniel: Can I get you anything? You want a water or a snack or something?

Lucy: I’m fine. We just had breakfast.

Daniel: Hey, are you okay? You know, ’cause last night it seemed like things were starting to be okay between the two of us, but now it feels like you’re putting up a wall.

Lucy: I’m fine.

Daniel: Okay. Well, I hope that’s true because you — you don’t seem fine.

[ Clears throat ] You know, that’s — that’s something I might do if I was uncomfortable or unsure. Are you feeling that way? It’s a really pretty bracelet. It’s a really nice color. I thought that your favorite color was pink.

Lucy: I stopped liking pink when I was 7.

Daniel: Oh. So, now it’s blue?

Lucy: No. Sage green. That’s my favorite now.

Daniel: Sage green is a beautiful color. Whose favorite color is blue?

Lucy: It’s yours.

Victor: My interference? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Adam: Come on. Come on. Kyle already admitted to the plot that you two concocted to sabotage me at jabot. There’s nothing to hide. Okay? I just came over to tell you your instincts were right. I didn’t belong there.

Victor: Took you a hell of a long time to realize that.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Just ’cause your general thoughts about that were right doesn’t mean the way that you went about it wasn’t despicable — because it was. The end did not justify the means. But it does make me a little curious because you are not known for devising a half-baked plot. So, what’s the next part of the plan? What’s phase two?

Summer: I can hear the regret in your voice. But the question I keep coming back to is, would you regret this if you hadn’t have been caught? So, if adam had been fired and my grandpa gave marchetti the textile mills and nobody ever found out what you did — because, honestly, kyle, I’m not sure that you would. This whole time, you treated me like an obstacle to overcome. You worked around me and jack and anybody else who might have disagreed with what you were doing. You let me think that I had persuaded you to not go along with my grandpa’s plan. And as your wife, it really hurts to know that you felt like I somehow couldn’t be trusted.

Kyle: No, no, no, that’s not true. I know I can trust you. It was a mistake.

Summer: That’s the thing. I-I don’t know that it was a mistake because…

[ Sighs ] It’s just, ever since I insisted you back out of jack and diane’s plan to frame jeremy stark, it’s — there’s been this distance between us. And instead of continuing to talk to me about things, you withdrew.

Kyle: We felt differently about that. There was no point in continually butting heads about it.

Summer: Yeah, I was looking at the bigger picture, at the rift that it was creating in our family, and all you saw was me trying to stop you from doing what you wanted to do. And so the next time something else came up, instead of making a better choice, you just hid your bad decisions. You decided, since you knew that I wouldn’t be okay with it, to just hide everything from me.

Kyle: I can’t deny that. And I don’t know what else to say besides continuing to reiterate I feel awful about it.

Summer: Look, I don’t like fighting with you. I hate feeling like I’m questioning everything that you say and do. I hear your apology. I know that you want things to get better. So do I. I just — I’m worried that sweeping this under the rug is gonna make room for this all to happen again in the future.

Jack: Thank you.

Jeremy: Look at you two.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jeremy: You two look so cozy.

Jack: What — what the hell are you doing here?

Jeremy: You know, I really missed the eggs florentine.

Jack: How did you finagle an escape from custody in chicago?

Diane: What, did you break out of jail?

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Of course not. If I had, it wouldn’t be wise for me to show up here, now, would it? No. I have excellent attorneys who got rid of those ludicrous charges against me. Next time, you’re gonna have to do a better job entrapping me.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jeremy: May I join you?

Jack: No, you may not. Just tell us what you want. Trelegy for copd.

Jeremy: [ Laughs ] Look at this guy. Always a knight in shining armor. I was that for you once.

Diane: Yeah, you were a fraud and a thief, and you were using me.

Jeremy: That’s a hell of a statement coming from someone who just masterminded a theft to frame me. Anyway, back to your question, jack. What do I want? Hmm. What do you think I want? Money. And that would be understandable since your payoff to me ended up right back in your bank account, just like you planned it.

Jack: You want cash? How much?

Jeremy: Now, revenge would make sense, but, uh, no, that’s all petty and beneath me now. I came back to genoa city to say, brava, diane. You are exceptional. That’s twice you’ve gotten one over on me, and that never happens. It deserves recognition. Don’t underestimate this one, huh? Take it from me. It’s a fatal mistake. Alright. Well, I’ve got to go. I’ll leave you to it. But I think I’m gonna stick around in genoa city for a long while. So…I’ll see you soon. Have a good day. How did that look from your vantage point? Was that last smile too much? Or was it just enough?

Phyllis: What are you doing? I mean, why are you here? Why are you actually here?

Jeremy: Look at you, out here watching, intrigued, unable to turn away.

Phyllis: Okay.

Jeremy: It doesn’t have to be that way. You can get in on the fun. No, I see myself in you. You live for the game the same way I do.

Phyllis: Okay. You’re deranged.

Kyle: Summer, you are my best friend and the love of my life. And I will never lose sight of that again. You were right when you said i wasn’t thinking about the bigger picture, about us, about our family. And I have been selfish. I can admit that. But this adam chapter, it’s over. So I am begging you to forgive me. I know we can get past this. We can do better. I can do better.

Victor: Now, why do you think there’s a phase two?

Adam: Because I know you as well as anyone. And you would never knowingly leave a loose end.

Victor: That’s a very good observation. And that’s why you belong at newman, not at jabot, where you sell soaps and perfume, for heaven’s sake. You’re too smart for that. You always think steps ahead.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And I can smell the, uh, patronizing praise a mile away, and I’m not really in the mood for it, so let me tell you what I think is going on. You were hoping to undermine me at jabot so I would come crawling back to you.

Victor: I want you to be at a place where you can exercise your full potential, son.

Adam: What potential? The potential that only you can unleash?

Victor: That’s right. I can because only I know your true potential. And I want you to work at newman where you meet challenges that are much bigger challenges than you would ever meet at jabot.

Adam: Alright, well, um, now we’re getting somewhere. What kind of challenge were you thinking of? Did you have something in mind? How far ahead were you thinking when you put this plan in place? I mean, come on. You got me out of jabot. What did you want me to do, beg for a job? Admit that I actually like my father’s boot on my neck? Or that I will finally stay in my lane? What is it, dad?

Lucy: Blue is your favorite color, right? Or at least it used to be.

Daniel: It still is. I love that you remember that. Did you get that color because of me, or — I don’t know — was it like one of a set or something?

Lucy: When we first moved to portugal…I missed you a lot. Not the way you were when we left savannah, but, um, the dad you used to be. All the kids at boarding school would talk about their fathers and them visiting and all the important things they did for work.

Daniel: And you couldn’t talk about your dad.

Lucy: Yeah. I mean, it wasn’t that bad. I could brag about my grandfather being a rock star, and when they would talk about their moms, I could talk about heather. So I guess that was sort of the same.

Daniel: You know, you have a lot of people that love you.

Lucy: But there’s only one you.

[ Inhales sharply ] When I saw this bracelet… the color made me think of you.

[ Sniffles ] I bought it —

[ Sighs ] I bought it so that I wouldn’t forget that once upon a time… I had a dad who loved me. I have moderate to severe crohn’s disease. Meet mixtiles! They stick and restick. Choose from dozens of sizes, frames and styles. Go to mixtiles.Com, upload pictures, pick a fancy frame and voila! Buy 10 and get 10 for free. Premium collagen that supports healthy hair,

Daniel: [ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ] I am so sorry that I was not there for you and that I wasn’t the kind of father that you could tell your friends about. But, you know, this new life in genoa city — it’s about me becoming that kind of man. Because I want you to be able to walk through the world proud, you know, and say that daniel romalotti jr. Is your dad.

Lucy: Why couldn’t you do that back in savannah?

Daniel: I don’t know. It’s complicated. And I was in my own head. I was wrapped up in my own wants and needs. I was creating resentments and i was pushing away the people that I cared about that were close to me.

Lucy: [ Sniffles ]

Daniel: Things got bad. Then they got worse. I could actually start to feel the old me slipping away.

Lucy: Did you ever think about how what you were doing was hurting me?

[ Sniffles ]

Daniel: If I’m being honest, it was really hard for me to think about anyone except myself. You know, for a while, I — i lost sight of how much you and heather truly mean to me and… well, that’s something that I’m gonna regret for the rest of my life.

Lucy: [ Sniffles ] I never forgot about you, even when I wanted to. This just made me feel closer to you.

[ Sniffles ] Take it.

Daniel: You’re giving it to me?

Lucy: Maybe if you have it, next time things get tough, you won’t forget that you have a daughter.

Summer: I want us to work this out, but I can’t just ignore the fact that you betrayed me. So it’s not easy for me to forgive, especially when I can’t forget.

Kyle: Well, what can I do to prove my dedication to you, to help you see that this is a mistake that won’t be repeated?

Summer: I don’t think that there is anything unless another thing like this came up, which is the last thing that I want.

Kyle: Me too. And I promise you, I would handle everything differently.

Summer: I guess all I can do is ask for you to be patient with me. Just give me some time.

Kyle: I love you so much.

Summer: I love you.

Victor: I honestly hate that you see things so cynically.

Adam: It’s another, uh, newman trait. You know, actually it’s a — it’s a — it’s a good survival skill, especially in this family.

Victor: Son, you listen to me. I’ve always thought you were very bright. You got a special talent. You’re almost genius-like, son. I’m glad that you stopped being at that stupid place at jabot. You only did that to piss me off.

Adam: Oh, I hate to break it to you, but I wasn’t about you.

Victor: Oh, really? Now that all this jabot nonsense is behind us, let you and I work on fixing whatever is broken between us. Do you understand? You’re my son. I want you to work with me. I want you to know that you’re always welcome in our family and in my company.

Adam: It’s nice to know that there’s a spot for me. And I will accept your generous offer, if that’s what it is… on one condition. Give me victoria’s job. You do that, and I’m all yours.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Did that really just happen? Or are we having some sort of collective nightmare?

Jack: No, jeremy stark is very real, and he is back in genoa city.

Diane: You know, at first i thought I was imagining things, and then I was struck by this icy panic. Jack, I guess we were wrong to think that we had found some way to finally get rid of him for good.

Jack: Frankly, I thought he would take his lumps and just let it go.

Diane: Yeah, but he didn’T. He had to have come back for some reason, and all the reasons I can think of are not good.

Jack: He can’t hurt us.

Diane: Yes, he can. We hurt him. Jeremy is not the kind of person to just let bygones be bygones.

Jack: I stand by what we did. We needed to get him out of our lives and out of town. And we did that — temporarily, yes, but we’ll do it again.

Diane: How? He is going to be on guard now even more.

Jack: Stark was right about one thing. It is a mistake to underestimate you, especially when you have me by your side. I am going to be completely devoted to getting him out of our lives for good this time.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Victoria: Well, we’re not gonna have a chance to make a move on tucker’s company.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Victoria: Somebody’s beat us to the punch.

Billy: As if you would ever consider hiring me as your co-ceo.

Jack: You know what? If you sincerely wanted it, I would.

Sally: Oh, my god. The paternity test results are in. Thank you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: Victoria.

Victoria: Hi.

Nate: I, uh, didn’t expect to run into you here.

Victoria: Are you meeting someone?

Nate: No. I’m waiting for some takeout. Elena’s getting off soon, and I’m sure she’s gonna be too tired to cook or go out.

Victoria: Oh. Aren’t you considerate. Uh, well, would you like to join me while you wait?

Nate: Yeah. Um, don’t mind if I do.

Victoria: Thanks.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: [ Clears throat ]

Nate: Uh, can we get two old-fashioneds? If that’s okay with you. I don’t want to be too presumptuous.

Victoria: Oh, no, that seems like a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a good bourbon.

Nate: I’m glad you approve.

Victoria: It seems that i approve of just about everything you do.

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: Well, let’s hope that continues.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sure it will. So, um…how do things with elena stand?

Nate: Mm, with regard to…?

Victoria: Well, I know that she wanted to end her relationship with you when she learned that you and I joined forces under the radar so that i could grab a majority stake of chancellor-winters when it went public, and now you’re working at newman media. So, does she have an issue with you collaborating with someone who is encouraging you to embrace your killer instincts?

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: You know, you can keep telling me you love me, but the fact of the matter is, i didn’t trust you when you first came back into town, and I trust you even less now.

Tucker: Ashley —

Ashley: I know you. I know what makes you tick, and there’s no way you’re gonna walk away from an empire that you spent your entire life building. I mean, after all, it is the only thing you really care about, right?

Tucker: That’s not true.

Ashley: Okay. That’s not true. Well, I can’t help but feel that you’re looking for an angle and you’re still hoping to manipulate me in the process.

Tucker: I’m not gonna sit here and defend my past actions ’cause I can’T. What I’m gonna do is prove you wrong.

Daniel: What did you say? It sounded like you met someone, but I must have misunderstood, right?

Heather: [ Voice breaking ] I am so sorry that this is hurting you. I just didn’t see a way back to the way things were before, no matter how amazing your career is going. The wounds were just too deep, and, um, they — they left lasting scars.

Daniel: I know that I hurt you and lucy. And I hate myself for that. But, I mean, don’t — don’t we deserve another chance?

Heather: Even if I can forgive you, how can I forget? I-I… I can’T. I — I want good things for you. I’m so happy for you, truly. And I really hope that you want the same thing for me, too.

Daniel: What are you talking about? I love you.

Heather: I know. But I’ve — I’ve moved on, and I met someone. And we’ve fallen in love. And if you’re honest with yourself, daniel, you’re gonna look at this fresh start you’ve built all on your own and you’re gonna realize it’s best for you if you move on, too.

Daniel: [ Inhales deeply ] So, um, is this new guy… how long have you known him?

Heather: He’s someone I met at work. He’s, um — he’s another lawyer. I had to figure out how to tell you. I needed to make sure you were in a better frame of mind.

Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ]

Heather: And phyllis assured me that was the case when she came to visit me in portugal. So, in a way, your mom helped me come to a decision that I know is right for us, and that is that now is the right time to make our separation permanent.

Phyllis: I thought you were in jail.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I’ve got good lawyers. The charges were absurd. They didn’t stick. Circumstantial evidence and all that. Which was arranged by jack abbott and diane jenkins.

Phyllis: Why are you back here? What are you planning to do? So, you’re 45. I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save.

Heather: Well, your mother wasn’t, uh, exaggerating at all. You’re — you’re definitely in a much better place these days.

Daniel: Yeah, I was.

Heather: You were in a terrifying downward spiral. I’m — I’m relieved that you’ve come out of that. You’re really, really starting to turn your life around.

Daniel: You know, the, um — the thing that got me to this better place…the one and only motivation I had behind everything that I’ve done… was the hope that it would bring you and lucy back.

Heather: Please don’t say that.

Daniel: But now you’re sitting here and you’re telling me that I’ve been replaced?

Heather: [ Exhales heavily ]

Daniel: It’s like whatever hope I had — it’s just gone. It’s dead, and… no. I refuse to believe that. Come on. You’re not in love with this guy. You can’t be, no way, not with some stranger that you barely know. I get it. You were hurt. You were in another country. You were trying to find your own way. Leaning on someone — it’s not the same as falling for them.

Heather: Love is love. There’s no timetable. And we had a really amazing journey, and it’s sad that it ended the way that it did, but it did. And what’s important now is that we’re both doing so much better. And we need to keep it up. And we really need to hang on to the good and let go of all the bad as we move on with our new lives.

Daniel: [ Groans lightly ]

Tucker: I don’t know if you’re planning on going back to paris right away, but if you are…don’T. Just give me a few days.

Ashley: For what? I mean, really, why? All you’ve been doing is stalling me with lies for months and months. And you keep telling me you changed, but you just play the same old games, right? I mean, even now you’re opening up to me. You’re supposed to be honest with me about how difficult everything is at mccall and all the — the massive debt that you’ve taken on, but it still feels that you’re just… doing what you do. You’re just working an angle, trying to get what you want.

Tucker: All I can do is promise you that that is not the case.

Ashley: Yeah, well, your promises are meaningless to me.

Tucker: Yeah, well, I don’t think you’d be standing here still if you weren’t looking for some glimmer of hope that I’m sincere about what I’m saying about us.

Ashley: There’s no us.

Tucker: Ashley, this is a turning point for me. And I understand you. I get why you won’t take me at my word. I have a proven track record of being…

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: …A self-centered opportunist…

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: …And unable to make a genuine commitment to you. I have been [Sighs]…Such a failure in my ability to put you at the center of my world and really treasure you like you deserve. It’s one of my few regrets in life, that I — I hurt you. But all I’m asking of you now is to give me the opportunity to show you that I mean what I am saying. I am willing to strip away everything to begin again with you.

Ashley: Look, I can’t make any promises, okay? About anything.

[ Door closes ]

Jeremy: I left some things behind when I was abruptly and wrongfully arrested and came back to collect them.

Phyllis: Well, I don’t think that’s the only reason you’re here. I think you’re here for revenge.

Jeremy: Why do I get a sense that you’re not afraid of me anymore?

Phyllis: Um…I think that, uh, you’re all bark and — and no bite.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Trust me. I have plenty of both. But I’m also a good judge of character.

Phyllis: According to whom?

Jeremy: You know, when I look at you, phyllis, I, um — I see a woman who’s reached her breaking point. Dr. Z! We love your skincare videos.

Victoria: Thank you.

Nate: Elena’s chosen to be supportive about my new job. And in return, I’ve been making a conscious effort to not bring work home with me like I used to. I’ve, you know, parked the killer instinct at the door to keep the peace. Uh, speaking of which, there is, uh, a work matter I wanted to talk to you about.

Victoria: You know, I think it’s actually wise not sharing every detail of what happens at work with our significant others. It’s hard for other people to understand what we do and how we operate at this level in the corporate world.

Nate: True.

Victoria: So, um, are you two back on track after everything that went down at chancellor-winters? Or are you still trying to get back into her good graces?

Nate: Everything seems to be going pretty well with us. You know, starting the job at newman, um, getting some sort of routine going has calmed things down for us, helped us to communicate more effectively.

Victoria: Well, that makes sense.

Nate: Elena did have some reservations about, uh, me coming to work for you at first. She didn’t like the fact that i was being rewarded for making a move against my family. At least, that’s how she saw it.

Victoria: When, in actuality, you were being rewarded for being talented and driven.

Nate: Well, now that she sees how happy I am at newman, um, I believe she’s come to accept that.

Victoria: Good. I’m happy to hear that. Sounds like you’ve found your sweet spot in your work/life balance.

Nate: I wouldn’t go that far.

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

Allie: Ashley.

Ashley: [ Gasps ]

Allie: Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Ashley: It’s okay.

Allie: Hi. How are you? How was paris?

Ashley: Well, you know, great. It’s good to see you.

Allie: Great to see you.

Ashley: Hi.

Allie: Hi. So, how long are you gonna be staying this time?

Ashley: Uh…you know, I’m really not sure now.

Allie: “Now”? What do you mean, “now”? Did something happen already that’s making you want to leave?

Tucker: You should know that I have created a business plan for the new venture — brand-new company, all ours, no ties to jabot, no ties to the abbotts, very grand in scale. Um, it would involve paris and would require my deep pockets to bankroll it. And you could invest however much you wish, of course. Be a dream come true for you.

Ashley: You think you know what my dreams are?

Tucker: I know you.

Ashley: Interesting.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: Sometimes I feel like, um, I know you. And then other times, I feel like I don’t know you at all.

Tucker: Yeah, you know me, better than anyone else ever has.

Tucker: This is the ashley that I remember so well — calm, cool, and collected one moment and then wild and fiery the next.

Ashley: Huh. Well, um, I’m glad that you find my torment humorous.

Tucker: No, don’t get me wrong. I’m — I’m sympathizing with you. You’re in an untenable situation with jack and diane. But, uh, this situation has seemed to awaken something in you that I love — your spark.

Ashley: Mm. It’s more than just a spark, though. It’s more like a wildfire.

Tucker: Mm. Of anger or excitement?

Ashley: Little bit of both.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Yeah. And you know what else I love? You come here and you feel comfortable with me, you let your guard down and you allow yourself to be real and messy and complicated. There’s nothing sexier to me.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Mnh-mnh.

[ Glass thuds ]

Ashley: What are you gonna do about it?

[ Glass thuds ]

Tucker: That depends on you.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Hmmm! Twix with cookie and cookie dough?

Phyllis: You don’t know anything about me.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] You took a risk of calling me and telling me where to find diane because you were that committed of getting that woman out of town. But your efforts have all been for naught. I mean, that’s got to be killing you.

Phyllis: Ohh.

Tucker: Well, this is a sight to behold. Jeremy stark. How are you?

Jeremy: How are you?

Tucker: So, you’re, uh — you’re out of the clink and back at the scene of the crime, huh?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Tucker mccall, we finally meet face-to-face.

Tucker: Yeah.

Jeremy: That makes my return to genoa city worthwhile. And for the record, I was just telling, uh, phyllis here that there was a crime committed, but certainly not by me.

Tucker: Ah. I see. So, the ex-con’s good name has been besmirched. Hideous injustice.

Jeremy: You’re a funny guy.

Tucker: It’s interesting to see you two commiserating. Strange bedfellows. Although I think it does make a bit of cosmic sense.

Phyllis: Okay, I didn’t invite him over here.

Tucker: Uh-huh. Yeah, I know you. Whatever he was saying to you made a big impression.

[ Chuckles ] Anyway, nice to meet you.

Jeremy: Yeah. See you around.

Tucker: Have fun.

[ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Um, if you’ll excuse me, the last person I want to be seen with is someone like you, okay?

Jeremy: Mm-hmm.

[ Clears throat ] I think jeremy’s right. We definitely have a lot to talk about since you and I have very similar interests.

Ashley: I am fine. [ Laughs ]

Allie: Really?

Ashley: I am. I just had a weird and disconcerting evening, but it’s all good. How are you doing? Let’s talk about you.

Allie: Okay. I’m doing great. Things are going really well at the lab. I’ve got this new position now, which I am super excited about. It’s way more creative, and I’ve got way more autonomy, which is awesome. And the best part of it is that it is, um — it’s full time. And it’s permanent. So, I’m very, very grateful for the opportunity. And I can tell that your eyes are glazing over, so…

Ashley: No!

Allie: …I’m just gonna zip it now.

Ashley: No! Please. I love your passion and your enthusiasm. You know that.

Allie: Um, I do have a tendency to gush at times, so please tell me to shut up when I need to.

Ashley: Never. Never. It’s your positive energy that makes you such a joy to be around.

Allie: Aww, ashley, that is a lovely compliment.

Ashley: It’s the truth. And don’t think that all the great things that are going on in the lab have gone unnoticed.

Allie: But it’s obvious that something is bothering you. I’m just saying.

Ashley: Really?

Allie: Yes!

Ashley: Okay. I have to work on my poker face, evidently.

Allie: Or you could just open up, right? I mean, we are family. And — I don’t know, I think everyone has a bad day here and there, so… I don’t want to overstep, but all I’m saying is that I’m a pretty good listener if you need someone to talk to you.

Ashley: You are so sweet.

Allie: Everything okay?

Ashley: Yes. Yes. This is something I have to handle on my own, but everything is okay. Okay? Thank you.

Daniel: You and this guy, um… if it’s that serious between the two of you, uh, I guess lucy knows him? And he’s cool? I mean, he’s good with her? No, of course he is, right? I mean, you wouldn’t be with him if he wasn’T. Does she like him?

Heather: She’s 13, daniel. Her whole life was uprooted. It was not easy for her to accept that there was another man in my life. None of this is easy. She misses her dad. I know it’s been devastating to her that things had gotten so broken between us that we were at a point of no return. But at the same time, she’s still feeling the aftereffects of all the turmoil that drove us away from you in the first place.

Daniel: Can you at least tell her that you saw firsthand… you know, that I’m doing a lot better than I was?

Heather: She’s right down the hall. You can tell her for yourself. I get bladder leaks.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. What’s the #1 retinol brand

[ Knock on door ]

Lucy: Hey.

Daniel: Hey. Wow, have I ever missed you. Come on in, please. You know, um, I’m really, really glad you came so I could see you in person…and, you know, just tell you how sorry I am for all the pain and all the heartache and all the confusion that i caused you. I mean, you’re probably wondering if I’ve, uh, shaped up, you know, if things are any different, and… I don’t blame you… not after everything I put you through.

Lucy: I couldn’t understand what was going on with you back in savannah, why everything changed. You became this totally different person.

Daniel: I know.

Lucy: You spent less and less time at home. We hardly ever saw you. It’s like you were mad at the world all the time. And when you did show up, you took it out on us.

Heather: Okay.

Lucy: You went from being the most amazing dad to — to someone I don’t even recognize anymore.

Daniel: You’re right. And you know what? I hate the person that I turned into. And I know it’s not an excuse, but, you know, things, they — they weren’t going well in my professional career, and I let all my own pain and all my own frustration take over. It started to cloud everything that I did, you know, how i treated the people that I cared about the most in this world. That’s what eats at me the most, you know, that I pushed you away. And I am so, so sorry for that, sweetheart. And I know that those words — they don’t mean anything unless I’ve got my act together and I’ve changed — and I have. I’m not that person anymore. That’s what I want you to know. And I made those changes because I couldn’t stand the thought of not having you in my life.

Lucy: [ Exhales sharply ] You do seem more like you were before.

Ashley: So, what’s going on with you? What sparked your creativity down in the lab?

Allie: Oh, my gosh. So many things. Oh, where do I start? Um…oh, my gosh, I have been working on the new image processing algorithms for skin and makeup analysis. And, let me tell you, it’s been going fantastically. As the saying goes, “life isn’t perfect…”

Ashley: “But your makeup can be.”

Allie: That’s right.

[ Laughs ] I am absolutely fascinated by how we can use mathematics to find the perfect product for any individual.

Ashley: Yeah, it’s definitely the future of our industry, right? You got cosmetics, you got fragrance, you’ve got skin care.

Allie: Medicine, too.

Ashley: Exactly.

Allie: Yeah.

Ashley: Exactly. And, actually, it’s gonna revolutionize our approach to our anti-aging products.

Allie: Absolutely. And you know what the best part is? Someone has to go in and make the product in the lab.

Ashley: That’s us!

Allie: That’s us!

[ Laughs ] So, uh, lately, I have been experimenting with essential oils and botanicals. And, um, last week there was a little bit of a product instability.

Ashley: Oh, no. What blew up?

Allie: How’d you know?

Ashley: Wait, what?

Allie: Oh, right! Of course. Dumb question.

Ashley: I’ve definitely had my fair share of r&d mishaps. I mean, you know what they say, right? I mean, it takes a lot of eggs to make an omelet.

Allie: Yeah. Well, the problem occurs when that egg ends up on the ceiling instead of the floor.

Ashley: I know!

Allie: You know what I think the thrilling part about chemical reactions that no layman can understand?

Ashley: What?

Allie: They waiver between the stable and unstable, and it’s up to us chemists to find the balance, right?

Ashley: Yeah.

Allie: Initially, each element is fighting for control, and then once dominance is established, something stable, effective, and even beautiful can be created.

Ashley: Yeah. You know what’s also kind of interesting? That — that applies to interpersonal relationships, too — you know what I mean? — Like in the real world because, I mean, a battle of wills is just — you know, it’s just a fight for dominance, right? And once dominance is established definitively, then so is stability, and therefore, things should go more smoothly.

Allie: You’re talking about business, right, ashley? Because I think personal relationships should be equal, like a partnership.

Ashley: Oh, yeah. I mean, in the perfect world, sure, there’s no place for dominance in, uh, interpersonal relationships, true. Thank you.

Allie: For what?

Ashley: I think you just gave me a really interesting idea.

Victoria: Oh, no. So, you and elena are a little out of sync.

Nate: Yeah, that’s a good way of putting it. We have such different hours. We’re like two ships passing in the night.

Victoria: I understand how hard that can be. I know how committed you are to your role at newman media. And you continue to — to make me feel like I was very smart for bringing you on board. Even my father’s noticed.

Nate: Oh, really?

Victoria: Yes. He remarked about your ability to read situations from various angles before making a decision.

Nate: Well, I wouldn’t have been much of a diagnostician if I couldn’t do that.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Well, that skill set from all of your years in medicine has transferred beautifully into the business world. Not only are you prudent, but you’re also very open-minded, which are two things we value very much in our leadership team.

Nate: Well, that’s very flattering.

Victoria: Oh, I’m just stating the facts. That’s why I wanted you in the room when my father and michael and I were discussing our strategy for taking over mccall unlimited.

Nate: Uh, which brings me back to the work matter I wanted to talk to you about — deploying audra to gather intel about tucker and his plans.

Victoria: You know what i love so much? You’re already thinking of ways to exploit her relationship with him to our advantage.

Nate: Well, it turns out she met with him again.

Tucker: Hi. Sorry for interrupting.

Victoria: Oh, no, you’re not. Nate and I are — we’re just having a drink while he waits for his food, which — oh, it’s here.

Nate: So it is.

Victoria: I hope that we’ll be able to continue this conversation.

Nate: Me too. Good night, victoria.

Victoria: Good night.

Tucker: Uh, your assistant told me I might find you here.

Victoria: Oh, I see. Well, now you have. So, what can I do for you?

Tucker: I have something I’d like to discuss with you.

Victoria: I’m sorry. I don’t really have time. I have to get home to my kids.

Tucker: No, you’re — you’re definitely gonna want to hear this. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Daniel: Um…I’m not sure if you heard about my new job?

Heather: I told lucy you’re making a new video game.

Lucy: So, you’re not doing art anymore?

Daniel: You know, there’s still art involved. Animation design. But, uh, this is [Sighs] — This is so much bigger than anything I’ve ever taken on before. Do you remember that video game that we used to play when you were younger, the one where you had to bring light into the darkness?

Lucy: Sure. I mean, we played it enough.

Daniel: Well, you know, I was in a really dark place when something made me start playing it again. I don’t know. Maybe — maybe it was just to try and remember happier times. You know, that’s what gave me the idea to create this game, a game that was fun, but also had a higher goal, a deeper goal and purpose. And I threw myself into it. I did. I mean, that was the start of me turning everything around… because it gave me a new goal and purpose. And now, um — well, if everything keeps going the way it is, it looks like it’s — it’s actually gonna become a reality. Um, here. Look — these are some of my preliminary sketches. It’s called “finding princess louisa.”

Lucy: That’s what it’s called?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. What do you think?

Lucy: Louisa — she looks just like me.

Daniel: Well, she is you. You’re my princess.

Nate: It was such a trip being pulled into a high-level meeting with victor and victoria like that. It’s the first time since leaving medicine for the corporate realm that I felt like a real player.

Elena: Sounds exciting.

Nate: Like, you have no clue. It was such an adrenaline rush. And I’m not just talking about the thrill of working with heavyweights like the newmans. It’s that they genuinely want to hear my ideas and have no problem acknowledging when they’re good. Elena, it feels amazing to be valued for my contributions instead of being shot down all the time. You want some more wine?

Elena: No, I’m good. I’m already restless.

Nate: It’s incredibly validating. You know, michael baldwin didn’t want to loop me in at first, but victoria made it known that she wanted to hear my thoughts on the ideas at hand.

Elena: Which was what again?

Nate: Uh, it, uh, concerns a potential acquisition, which type of approach makes the most sense.

Elena: I see.

Nate: Wow. Look at me, talking your ear off. I am so sorry about that. How was your day?

Elena: It was exhausting and way too long.

Nate: Mm. Yes, I know how that goes.

Elena: Yeah. I think I need a break. I think I need some uninterrupted downtime. You know, go someplace where i don’t even have to think about memorial at least for a week, maybe two. I remember you talked about us going on a vacation. Well, I am certainly ready. Let’s do it.

Nate: We will. Soon.

Elena: How soon?

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I don’t care to be analyzed by you.

Jeremy: Mm. The resentment is rolling off in waves. But it’s not directed at me, not really.

Phyllis: Who should I direct it at?

Jeremy: Well, our mutual friend, of course. Diane brings out the worst in people.

Phyllis: What’s your point?

Jeremy: Maybe we should, uh, talk about this out of the public eye. I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable.

Phyllis: Okay, I don’t think so.

Jeremy: Figure out a way that we could help each other.

Phyllis: No.

Jeremy: Yes.

Phyllis: No.

Jeremy: Why not?

Phyllis: Because people who get involved with you regret it.

Jeremy: Not everyone. Not people like you.

Phyllis: What is that supposed to mean? Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Jeremy: I don’t know why you’re protesting so much, as if getting on board with my plan would be crossing some sort of moral boundary for you. Diane is going down, period. And I will accomplish what you and your cronies haven’t been able to pull off, guaranteed.

Phyllis: Guaranteed? Are you so sure you could do that?

Jeremy: Diane is a problem that requires a professional’s expertise. Now, you can share in the satisfaction of watching her go down, or you can watch from the sidelines. Call me if it’s the former.

Lucy: Good luck with your video game.

Daniel: Thanks.

Heather: Well, we should, uh, probably get back to the suite. I’m sure with the time change you’re probably tired.

Daniel: How long are you staying?

Heather: Long enough so that we can see my dad and christine. And then lucy’s got to get back to school, and I have a litigation coming up.

Daniel: Can I buy you breakfast in the morning?

Lucy: Sure.

Daniel: Great.

Heather: Okay. That’s a plan. But right now, we should go get organized and get some good sleep.

Daniel: I’ll see you tomorrow.

Lucy: See you tomorrow.

Nate: Elena, you have my word. We will take that vacation. Just not right now. Look, I am still new to the job, and it feels like the wrong time for me to even take a few days off.

Elena: Nate, I’m not the one who mentioned going on this trip. So, are you just saying all this to appease me?

Nate: No, not at all. There’s just so much going on right now.

Elena: Yeah, it’s a global corporation. There’s always gonna be a lot going on. I’m just trying to get an idea of when would be a good time. You know I have to plan it. I think you remember how much advance notice it takes for me to actually get someone to cover my shifts in the E.R.

Nate: Elena, to be honest…

Elena: [ Sighs ]

Nate: …It’s a little hard —

Elena: Never mind. I’m gonna take a shower and go to bed.

Victoria: Well, I can’t imagine that you’d have anything to say that I’d be remotely interested in.

Tucker: I am ready to get out of the game.

Victoria: Meaning what?

Tucker: Meaning I want to sell mccall unlimited.

Victoria: Sell?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. All of it, every division on every continent.

Phyllis: Hey, there you are, pretty girl.

Summer: Welcome back!

Phyllis: Ooh!

Summer: Ohh! That is quite the hug!

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I’m glad that there is one child of mine that doesn’t hate me.

Summer: Oh. Guess I don’t have to ask how your trip to portugal was.

Phyllis: Ugh. Well, my trip was great. It was great. It was the homecoming that had a lot to be desired.

Summer: Okay, so, why are we having champagne?

Phyllis: Ohh, we are going to toast the amazing idea that you come up with to talk some sense into your brother before he does something else that he’ll deeply, deeply regret.

Daniel: Heather. I-I can’t believe you’re really here.

Heather: I’m sorry I didn’t let you know that I was coming.

Daniel: It’s okay. It — no, it’s okay.

[ Door closes ]

Heather: I wasn’t actually certain that I would do it until I was here. I told the front desk clerk that I was your wife so that she would let me stay here and wait for you. I hope that was okay.

Daniel: Yeah, of course. Um… it’s really, really good to see you.

Heather: Good to see.

Daniel: Yeah. Good to see you.

[ Lock rattling ]

Jack: [ Laughs ] I got it.

Diane: Ah!

Jack: Oh, you got it!

Diane: I will get the hang of the lock eventually. Mwah!

Jack: Welcome home.

Diane: Wow.

Jack: I got the luggage.

Diane: Thank you.

[ Door closes ]

Jack: Hey. You alright?

Diane: Uh…yeah. It just feels so good to hear you say those words.

Jack: Feels good to have you here.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Come on in.

Diane: Wow, this, uh — this feels like a dream. I can hardly believe it.

Jack: I was worried you’d had second thoughts and decided it was too soon to move in.

Diane: No, I’m afraid you’re stuck with me.

Jack: Oh, I’ve never been so happy to be stuck.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Offer you some wine?

Diane: Oh. Please.

Jack: Good.

Diane: So, is this what it’s like to be your new roommate, coming home after a long day at the office, curling up on the couch, unwinding?

Jack: Whatever you like. This is your home now, too.

Diane: Then I know what we should toast to.

Jack: What?

Diane: To you, to me, to the future, and to coming home again.

[ Keys jangle, lock disengages ]

[ Door opens ]

Kyle: Hey. Hi, mom.

Diane: Come on in.

Kyle: I don’t wanna interrupt.

Diane: You’re not.

[ Keys clatter ] How’s it going?

Kyle: Not great. Summer and I got into a big fight.

Diane: I’m so sorry.

Kyle: And I don’t know how i will ever get her to forgive me.

Jack: Perhaps your partner, victor, will have some good advice for you.

Tucker: I apologize in advance for this cheap cabernet, but I was under the impression you were enjoying all your wine…

Ashley: Thanks.

Tucker: …In a parisian cafe these days.

Ashley: I just got back.

Tucker: So, is that why you texted me not to come to paris — ’cause you were coming to see me?

Ashley: Don’t flatter yourself.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Old habits.

Ashley: You’re full of those, aren’t you?

Tucker: Yeah. And you’re the worst. Habit, I mean.

Ashley: Mm. So I’ve heard.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] I have a question.

Ashley: Try me.

Tucker: As much as I’d like to sit and drink wine and trade barbs and witticisms with you all night, uh, I can’t help but wonder what the hell you’re doing here. #1 isn’t a status earned overnight.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Ashley: I’m here for a very simple reason, actually. I just was hoping you’d explain the voicemail you left for me, where you said you had to come clean about something and you were willing to fly to paris to explain it to me in person. Remember that?

Tucker: I do. Uh, but why are you suddenly amenable to listening? What sparked your interest? Are you just curious, or is it something more intimate?

Ashley: Please don’t read anything more into this.

Tucker: All it took was one look in your eyes when you walked into the room. I could tell something was amiss.

Ashley: Okay, well, if I’m in any kind of a mood at all, it’s because of my brother and diane.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. What happened now?

Ashley: I really don’t want to get into it again. Please.

Tucker: What would you like to get into? ‘Cause, as I recall, the last time you had a blowout with jack, things got pretty heated between you and me.

Kyle: I had things under control. I kept jabot safe.

Jack: You trusted the fox to watch the henhouse, kyle. How is that keeping things safe? Have I taught you nothing? And what is the next step in victor’s big plan? What are you supposed to stay tuned for, as he said in his text to you?

Kyle: I have no idea. But adam left on his own free will, so I doubt victor will want anything else. His only goal was to get adam fired. He is gone. So, if victor makes any more requests, I will turn him down.

Jack: Unless he offers you a textile mill or something else.

Kyle: Cut me a break, dad.

Jack: You lied to me, kyle. You went against my wishes. You put the company in jeopardy.

Kyle: I’m sorry.

Jack: I told you I had the adam thing under control. I told you I understood what was going on. But you knew better. You turned to victor instead of your own father.

Summer: I’m assuming the thing that you mean when you said something else daniel will deeply regret is, um, him firing you?

Phyllis: Oh, do you know about that?

Summer: Yeah, he told me.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, he’s in a bad way. And, you know, when he gets like this, there’s no reasoning with him.

Summer: He’s a grown man. He’s capable of making his own decisions.

Phyllis: Well, he’s actually not. That’s why I’m helping him. I keep on throwing life preservers overboard, and he’s not catching them. He needs saving.

Summer: That’s what you think you’re doing?

Phyllis: Of course I am.

Summer: That’s why you went to portugal and ambushed heather and lucy after I warned you what an insane idea it was?

Phyllis: Okay. Okay. You know, that was an act of love. That came from maternal instinct. And honestly, he’s taken out his anger that he has with heather on me because he knows I will always love him, I will always protect him.

Summer: Are you sure it’s not because you — you went behind his back, mom?

Phyllis: Um, I don’t know why you’re asking these questions. I’m not the villain here. I’m not. And frankly, my feelings are hurt. I’m hurting.

Summer: I’m really sorry that you’re hurting. But you were warned.

Phyllis: What are you doing?

Summer: I was gonna have some champagne.

Phyllis: No. No, that champagne is for someone who wants to help me, not someone who wants to say “I told you so.”

Summer: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Drink your water.

Summer: Bottom line, mom, you were wrong for getting involved without discussing it with daniel.

Phyllis: Well, I was helping him out.

Summer: It’s his life!

Phyllis: No, I don’t — i don’t agree with you. I was helping him.

Summer: You know what? Daniel had his own plan for patching things up with heather in his own time, in his own way, and your helpful little trip just might have wrecked that. Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Daniel: Um…how’s lucy? Where is she?

Heather: She’s great. I just — I felt that we should talk privately.

Daniel: Sure. Okay. Um…yeah. No need to pull her out of school, right? Why don’t we, um — why don’t we talk about it over dinner? The restaurant downstairs is fantastic. I’ll call them. We’ll see if the chef can whip us up —

Heather: Daniel, stop.

Daniel: What’s wrong?

Heather: We need to talk.

Daniel: Why do I get the feeling that this, uh, isn’t gonna be an easy conversation?

Phyllis: You know what? I refuse to take the blame of wrecking daniel’s plan, whatever it was, to save his family. If I did anything, I pushed it in the right direction.

Summer: It should have been daniel’s choice whether or when he reached out to heather.

Phyllis: No. He can’t make the choice, summer. He’s stressed out, okay? And people do really, really weird things when they’re stressed out.

Summer: You know, you’ve been under a lot of stress lately, mom.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, I am, actually. Two kids, two firings, zero attempts to see my point of view.

Summer: This isn’t about your point of view. What I’m trying to say is that this last-minute trip to portugal — that was a knee-jerk reaction to what daniel did to you.

Phyllis: What — what is this? Summer, what’s happened to us? We used to be so close. You used to always see my point of view — or at least try to. What is going on? What have I done to make my kids hate me?

Summer: We don’t hate you. We love you more than anything in the entire world. But if something is broken in our lives, let us do the fixing, if we choose to.

Phyllis: Okay. Okay. Listen. Um [Chuckles] You — you sound like daniel. I mean, you guys are speaking from the same mouth now. What — what — what else do you guys share?

Summer: Actually, I didn’t share with him what your plan was, and it was a huge mistake. If I hadn’t have listened to you, maybe this whole mess could have been avoided entirely.

Kyle: I truly believed I had everything under control. I’m sorry I didn’t think it through. I should have known victor wasn’t a trustworthy partner. It was a mistake.

Jack: Why couldn’t you just trust me?

Kyle: I do.

Jack: I guess the big question now is, can I trust you? I need some air.

Kyle: Dad, wait.

Jack: I will be back.

Kyle: Are you gonna pile on now, too, or can you see that some good has come of this? Adam is gone. Jabot is better without him.

Diane: You’re not expecting me to take sides, are you? Because I can see both points of view.

Kyle: That’s an easy way out.

Diane: No. It’s the truth. Jack hates that you did victor’s bidding because of the rocky history they share.

Kyle: I wasn’t thinking about how it would look. I was just going to do the job, get adam fired, and be done. I didn’t take our history into account.

Diane: Well, no matter how civil jack and victor appear to be, there will always be this fierce antagonism just beneath the surface. So, for you to do this now…

Kyle: You think he’ll ever forgive me?

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Yes. Just give it time. He’ll appreciate your remorse. Kyle, I am living proof that jack is a forgiving kind of guy.

Kyle: I guess you are.

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: Somebody heading out of town?

Diane: Those are mine. Uh, further evidence of your father’s powers of forgiveness. He asked me to move in.

Ashley: Tucker, I hope you’re not expecting a repeat performance of what happened last time I was here.

Tucker: You should see what i could do for an encore.

[ Chuckles ]

Ashley: [ Chuckles ] I was understandably upset the last time I saw you before i took off for paris. But then I had some time to realize that your explanation was missing a few pieces.

Tucker: Alright. What do you want to know?

Ashley: I want to knour actions regarding jabot.

Tucker: I never made any move on jabot or against you.

Ashley: You wanted to. And you would have if you’d been given a chance.

Tucker: No. That is not true. But I do want to apologize for lying to you about any of it. That was demeaning — to us both, really. Um…

[ Sighs ] And here I am trying to turn over a new leaf, so I do want to be totally transparent with you.

Ashley: Start talking.

Tucker: I am in some deep water financially, um, deeper than I wanted to admit to anyone, including myself. I get bladder leaks. and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare, you’re covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums, and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospital stays, doctor office visits, and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage with no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions. And zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! And most plans include a silversneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas. And your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network, fto find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare. Unless you treat dandruff regularly,

Phyllis: Okay. You know what I realized? Here you go. That I have raised two little pessimists. Yeah. Pessimists. And for that, I apologize to the world, to you, to your brother.

Summer: Oh, mom, stop being so melodramatic.

Phyllis: I’m not. I’m not exaggerating. You’re both negative nellies, doomsayers. Hey, chicken little, the sky’s not falling.

Summer: Oh, you hope it’s not.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Let me tell you something, okay? I went to heather ’cause i needed to enlighten her about the man that your brother has become and enlighten her about the gaming platform that’s gonna change the world, okay? And when she realizes, “hey, this is the man I once knew,” and she takes him back, I’d like an apology from you and your brother.

Summer: All we want is for you to stop trying to control other people’s lives, especially when you can’t even control your own.

Phyllis: [ Sighs heavily ] This is motherhood. You’re damned if you do, and you’re damned if you don’T. It is hell, okay? Prepare yourself. It’s coming for you. Prepare yourself. We’ll have a talk when you go through something like this, okay? I walk through fire for you. I will move mountains for you. I will lay down my life for you and your brother…always. But I am tired of this. I am tired of being the villain. I am tired of being made out to be the devil.

[ Sighs ] Share that with your brother.

Summer: Mom!

Kyle: This is all happening so fast. It seems like you just announced you’re back together, and now…

Diane: So, think of it as the second installment of that jaw-droppingly good news.

Kyle: A real one-two punch.

Diane: Yeah. Well, it’s not entirely new territory for me and jack. We did live together when we were engaged.

Kyle: Yeah, and we all know how that turned out.

Diane: Kyle, we’re different people now. We’ve grown and changed. And as jack said to me, why postpone the inevitable? And as far as this happening too fast, it’s — it’s actually been decades in the making.

Kyle: I guess you could look at it that way.

Diane: And as an added bonus, I — I get to be closer to you and harrison.

Kyle: Harrison will love waking up to you every morning.

Diane: I can’t wait.

Kyle: This is going to send him over the moon with happiness.

Diane: So, what about you?

Tucker: My debt was growing exponentially, um, and while i found some peace at the ashram, I lost all business traction while I was there and I allowed decisions to be made by people who did not have the company’s best interests at heart.

Ashley: I guess you can’t trust anybody these days, huh?

Tucker: Yeah. And then there was the car wreck which took me even farther away from work, and I ended up having to leverage entire divisions to save others. And in the end, it all went under. And by the time I got back, the whole empire was a house of cards, really.

Ashley: So, what did you do?

Tucker: I took out massive loans. I sold off divisions and assets just to make up for my losses. But I couldn’t turn the company around fast enough to keep up with the growing debt, so i figured I could use a couple of whales around to generate some revenue, you know?

Ashley: Ah, so that’s where jabot and chancellor-winters came into play.

Tucker: Yeah. Couple powerhouses that i figured I could acquire without laying out too much capital.

Ashley: Sure. I mean, all you had to do was manipulate the two people that you claim to love.

Tucker: No. No. The truth is, I just wanted to start something with you and devon, not — not chew up your companies to keep mine afloat.

Ashley: No, the truth is, you were willing to risk jabot and chancellor-winters being brought down with mccall and devon and i would go along for the ride. So, can you see how your honesty just rings a little hollow right now? Do you see?

Tucker: Well, it isn’T.

Ashley: Yeah? Then why did you offer to fund a company for me, tucker? Clearly, you didn’t have the money to back it up. (Vo) the shape that stole your heart

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Daniel: First thing on the agenda should be me apologizing for my mother.

Heather: No, there’s no need.

Daniel: I had no idea that she was gonna ambush you like that. I mean, if I did, believe me, i would have hidden her passport and alerted the embassy.

Heather: Well, it was, uh, quite a surprise.

Daniel: I didn’t put her up to that, either. I didn’t even know she was gone until after she left. I’m sorry.

Heather: Daniel, she couldn’t stop talking about how proud she is of you for starting this new gaming project, that it’s helping you turn your life around.

Daniel: I’m sorry she subjected you to that.

Heather: I thought it was sweet, actually. You can tell how much she loves you, how much she believes in you.

Daniel: She is my biggest fan.

Heather: I was really happy to hear how well you’ve been doing. I mean, I don’t know, but it seems like maybe this new venture has reinvigorated you.

Daniel: Yeah. It’s, um… it’s been a healing journey.

Heather: And now seeing you here in person, I can tell something seems different, happier, focused. You look good, daniel. You look really good.

Phyllis: Oh, great. What did I do to deserve this?

Jack: Perfect. Hi, phyllis.

Phyllis: Jack. Yeah. That is my name, by the way. Don’t wear it out.

Jack: Bad day?

Phyllis: What made you think that?

Jack: There might be something in the water.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Before you go on with all of your insight about how to deal with my daughter, I want you to know that I am emancipating myself from summer and all of her issues — and throw my son into the mix. I’m cutting the apron strings. What?

Jack: I’m trying to picture you in an apron.

Phyllis: I’ve worn an apron before.

Jack: I find that kind of hard to believe.

Phyllis: I’ve baked once or twice.

Jack: I mean, I find it hard to believe that you are cutting yourself out of your children’s lives.

Phyllis: Oh, I am. You can only try so hard before people start letting you down in the meanest, cruelest way. And before you start up on me, saying, “phyllis, you must have done something,” “um, phyllis, what did you do to deserve this, you reap what you sow –”

Jack: No, you ain’t gonna hear that from me.

Phyllis: I beg your pardon?

Jack: None of those responses apply. I know exactly how you feel.

Kyle: You’ve both made your decision. It’s a little late to cast my ballot on the matter.

Daniel: I do care about your opinion.

Kyle: Like you said, you’ve been down this road before. You don’t need my blessing.

Diane: Alright, maybe that’s too much to ask for. But I would like to know that you’re okay with it.

[ Door opens ]

Summer: [ Sighs ]

[ Keys clatter ] I probably don’t even want to know, but I guess I’ll ask anyway. What else went wrong today?

Diane: Absolutely nothing. I think it’s great news, actually.

Summer: Is it?

Tucker: Okay, ashley.

[ Chuckles ] I would do anything for you. If you had said to me, “yes, tucker, I would like you to build me a company that I can run,” I would have made it happen.

Ashley: With what money?

Tucker: I don’t know. I would have found it, even if it meant selling off more of mccall.

Ashley: Okay, that’s the rom-com version. In the real world, where I live, you were hoping I would love your idea so much that I would invest my own cash. That’s what you were hoping for, isn’t it?

Tucker: Yeah, I understand why you would assume that. It is not the truth. The truth is, I would sell it all to make your dreams come true. How can I convince you of this?

Ashley: You can’t — because it wasn’t my dream, tucker. It was yours. You’re working really hard to make me believe it was what i wanted.

Tucker: And yet here you are. So you must have thought you you’d get something out of this conversation. What is it?

Ashley: Please stop fooling yourself.

Tucker: Oh, god. If you’re just gonna sit here and not believe a word I say… what are you doing here? Why this face-to-face? Yeah. You know. You know what it’s like whenever we’re in the same room together, we’re…

Ashley: Come on.

Tucker: …In the same zip code. No “come on.” You feel the energy. You feel the connection right now. And that passion — that does not go away between us, even when we’re arguing. Your heart is the beat of life.

Ashley: Nope. Nothing there. No irresistible pull, no passion whatsoever. In fact, I’m starting to wonder what I ever saw in you to begin with.

[ Sighs ]

Tucker: You just cannot be honest with yourself, can you? When you left here on your way to paris, your feelings for me had been reawakened, period.

Ashley: That was a momentary lapse in my sanity, from which I’ve completely recovered. So, what’s next? Are you sticking around genoa city, or what? Hmm?

Tucker: I don’t know. Man plans, god laughs.

Ashley: Oh, lots of platitudes today. What are you gonna do?

Tucker: I don’t know. Your guess is better than mine. I’m running out of options, though. Victor newman has somehow got word of my financial situation, and he’s planning to buy my debt to use as leverage to take over my company.

Ashley: Wow. That makes sense.

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: I can see victoria and her crew trying to pull something off like that. Why aren’t you more rattled? Aren’t you afraid of losing it all?

Tucker: Maybe it’s time for it to happen. You know, I came back to town with this dream of mine to [Clears throat] Work with my son and the love of my life to create this kind of family triumvirate. And when that dream proved unattainable and you went off to paris, I realized the only part of that plan that really mattered to me was the people involved. So…

[Sighs] My karma is catching up to me.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I won’t get into the details, but rest assured, you are preaching to the choir.

Phyllis: Oh.

Jack: I, too, have been deeply disappointed in someone I trusted, someone who means the world to me, someone who has no business lying to me after everything I’ve done for them.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Are you talking about who i think you’re talking about? Oh, jack, I am so glad you finally have seen the light about diane. I mean, she must have had to do something horrific for this to finally sink in.

Jack: I’m not talking about diane.

Phyllis: I-I thought —

Jack: She is not the one who let me down. Kyle is. Diane and I are fine.

Phyllis: What? I didn’t realize.

Jack: You know what? This is my fault for even opening up to you in the first place. You truly are your own worst enemy.

[ Gulps, slams glass onto bar ]

Kyle: My mother’s moving in.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] I know it must seem sudden and a bit of a shock, but jack invited me and I couldn’t say no.

Kyle: Summer?

Summer: Okay.

[ Footsteps departing ]

Kyle: Where are you going?

Summer: To check on harrison.

Kyle: [ Sighs ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, that didn’t go very well. What can I do?

Kyle: You’ll have to figure that out on your own. I have something more important I need to do — work things out with my wife.

Daniel: I think the journeys that we take alone are the toughest. Yes, ’cause you have to do it all. You have to carry all the baggage, you have to make all the plans. Sometimes you get off track, and, um, well, you have to go where no man has gone before. But you learn a lot about yourself. You get a lot of time to think. You know what I thought about? I thought about the people who love me, the ones that I’m supposed to protect and cherish. What I did to you and lucy was inexcusable. And I know it doesn’t mean much for me to say that I’m getting back on track. I actually have to show it, and I have to do it for myself, and I can’t just do it for the two of you, in order for it to be real and to actually matter. Hey. Hey.

Heather: [ Sniffles, sighs ]

Daniel: It’s gonna be alright. Look, I-I fixed my glitch. If I can do that, I mean, anything is possible. You know? We got this.

Heather: Hmm. I…

Daniel: What’s wrong?

Heather: [ Inhales deeply ] I’ve met someone. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Daniel: What did you say? I mean, it sounded like you said that you met someone, but I-I-I must have misunderstood.

Heather: I’m so sorry that this is hurting you. I-I just didn’t see how things could get back to the way that they were before.

[ Inhales deeply ] No matter how amazing a career you’re building, the wounds were just really deep and they left lasting scars.

Daniel: Um, look, I know that I hurt you and lucy, and I hate myself for that. But don’t we deserve another chance?

Heather: Even if I can forgive you, how do I forget? Look, I’m, um — I’m happy for you. I-I only want good things for you. I want the best for you, truly. And I really hope that you feel the same way for me, too.

Daniel: What are you talking about? I love you. I love you.

Heather: Right, right, but I moved on because I had to. So, um, yes, I-I did meet someone, and — and, uh, um, we fell in love. And if you’re honest with yourself, daniel, you’re gonna look at this fresh start you’ve launched all by yourself, and you’re gonna realize that it’s best for you if you moved on, too.

Ashley: I’m not sure if I believe in karma, but I absolutely don’t believe that you’re gonna walk away without a fight. What happened to tucker mccall would take on his most difficult enemies with his hand tied behind his back, with all sorts of hidden agendas and strategies tucked up his sleeve?

Tucker: You liked him, huh?

Ashley: He had his moments.

Tucker: Hmm. Well, they say change is good. Adapt or die. Right? Ask the dinosaurs.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Just gonna let it go?

Tucker: [ Sighs ] As the buddha said, love with an open hand. Letting go is the definition of freedom. And if I’m ever going to be truly free, I got to stop clinging to things. If I hadn’t spent any time at that ashram, I’d still be spending every day, every night in pursuit of the almighty dollar… and revenge.

Ashley: So, what now?

Tucker: [ Sighs ]

Now, I would…

[ Chuckles ] I would let it all go… if it meant spending the rest of my days with you.

Ashley: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: I mean, [Chuckles] You’re just relentless.

Tucker: Yeah. And you are endlessly alluring. So…

Ashley: Okay…

Tucker: [ Sighs ]

Ashley: …Given everything you’ve done now, all of your lies and your — your shenanigans, all of it, I mean, how can you even hold on to a shred of hope?

Tucker: I don’t know, ashley. Maybe it’s because I love you! In perpetuity… immutably, abidingly. Apparently not even karma can change that.

Diane: Oh, I was just trying to call you.

[ Door slams ]

[ Sighs ] Aww.

Jack: I’m sorry I left so abruptly. I’m sorry for the timing of all this. We should be celebrating your move right now.

Diane: Oh, we can do that anytime. I was worried about you. And to make matters worse, I think I complicated things even more.

Jack: How

Diane: Well, kyle saw my luggage, and I couldn’t exactly lie to him.

Jack: And how did he take the news?

Diane: Um, he wasn’t exactly thrilled, but he wasn’t against it. When I asked him how he was feeling, he was rather diplomatic.

Jack: Well, don’t take his evasiveness personally. He’s got other things to worry about right now.

Diane: Yes, and when Summer came in, he shared the news with her, so — I don’t know — I can take that as a positive sign?

Jack: Kyle will come around to accepting this, I promise.

Diane: I don’t want just acceptance. I want him to embrace it. I want him to be happy for us, and hopeful.

Jack. It will happen. Give it time. Nothing is in our way now.

Diane: Mmm.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Jeremy: Looks like you could use a friend.

Steffy: Your bedroom is ready, douglas.

Douglas: Awesome. Thanks, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Of course.

Hope: It’s just temporary and I have to respect his choice. Please, steffy. Take care of my son. I should probably text thomas. Let him know that douglas is here organizing his room.

Steffy: His room for now. This will be temporary.

Hope: I keep trying to remind myself but um, he wants to live here with you.

Steffy: Stop, you know, douglas doesn’t think that. Yeah, he likes it here, it’s fun. Honestly, I think he felt that this was an easier option rather than choosing you or thomas. Soon, he’s gonna realize that this isn’t his home.

Hope: I’m just trying to hold it all together. I don’t want him to see me–

Steffy: Hey. You’re doing great. Thank you for loving my nephew the way that you do. Being his protector and mother. And I hope you find some comfort in knowing that I will protect him too, fiercely.

Hope: Even if that means watching out for thomas?

Steffy: I promise. While douglas is here, I will be very cautious of my brother.

Thomas: It is happening as we speak.

Eric: The big move.

Thomas: Yeah.

Eric: You sure you’re okay with this?

Thomas: Well, as compared to douglas living over at hope’s, yeah. I mean, at steffy’s, I’ll get to see him whenever I want.

Taylor: So, how is hope doing? You know, with this whole douglas situation?

Brooke: Yeah, well she’s hurting.

Taylor: Mm. I feel for her, brooke. I feel for her mama heart, you know? I can only imagine how overwhelming this must be for her right now.

Brooke: I never thought the day would come when you would be consoling me or telling me you feel for my daughter. Being friends is a lot better than being rivals.

Brooke: Imagine if this situation happened with douglas a year or two ago.

Taylor: Oh, my gosh! Imagine if it just happened two months ago?

Brooke: It definitely would have pitted us against each other.

Taylor: Mm-hmm. And it still could if we let it.

Brooke: No, no, no, we won’T. Okay? No more brooke versus taylor ever. We don’t need that kind of rivalry.

Taylor: Mm-mm. You know what, the only thing that matters to both of us right now is douglas’s wellbeing.

Brooke: Yes. Grandmas united on that.

Taylor: What you say?

Brooke: Grandmas.

Taylor: Oh, grandmas. Yes, grandmas.

Eric: Where you off to?

Thomas: Uh, steffy’S.

Eric: Think douglas is ready for that?

Thomas: I’m his dad. He’ll be excited to see me.

Eric: Uh-huh, and what about steffy? Are you sure she’s ready for this? She still hasn’t gotten over what you did.

Thomas: Yeah, but there’s no way she’d ever keep me from seeing my son.

Hope: I get that thomas is your brother, it’s just, sometimes I worry that he might–

Steffy: I’ll always do what’s best for douglas, okay?

Hope: Thank you.

Steffy: I know it’s hard, but we’ll figure this out.

Douglas: Mommy! Mommy! I can see the ocean from my room.

Hope: Oh, sweetie, that’s awesome.

Douglas: And finn said he has extra binoculars I can use. Me and kelly are gonna look for pirates tonight.

Hope: What? That is so cool. You promise me if you find one, you’ll send me a photo.

Douglas: I will.

Hope: Okay. Well, I guess if you are all settled in then, um… liam and I should head out. Just know we are just a phone call or a text away, okay?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Okay. Oh. My husband and I have never been more active.

Eric: Maybe you should call steffy first? See if it’s okay for you to stop by.

Thomas: For permission to see my own son?

Eric: Mm-hmm.

Thomas: I’ll take my chances. I think it’s gonna be okay. I want to surprise douglas.

Eric: Well, I hope everything goes the way you want it to.

Thomas: Thank you. You know granddad, this could be the start of something pretty amazing. Exactly what I needed. Mend my relationship with my son and my relationship with everyone. Maybe even get back here at forrester.

Eric: I hope you’re right.

Deacon: Oh my god, the rumors are true. The cold war is actually over. You two are finally getting along?

Brooke: Yes, we are.

Taylor: Yes, hello deacon.

Deacon: Hi, just a second. Wow. Well, you know what? I gotta tell you, this is quite an accomplishment, ladies. You should be very proud of yourselves. Do have to ask you one thing? Are you sure there’s not like one little catfight left? Because personally, I’ve never seen one and the thought of you two together, just… daddy like.

[ All laughing ] Unbelievable. Anyway, this is legit? You guys are actually bonding.

Brooke: Yeah, we have a lot more in common than we realized.

Taylor: Yeah, besides ridge.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Taylor: Mm. Mm-hmm?

Brooke: I think maybe we should tell him. Have you spoken with hope recently?

Deacon: No, why? What’s going on?

Brooke: Douglas was asked to choose between his parents, who he wanted to live with.

Deacon: Okay.

Taylor: The decision had to be made in front of a judge, like official.

Deacon: Um, wait a second, you’re not telling me that he decided to live with thomas, right? And no offense.

Taylor: A little offended. Um, no, he chose steffy.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: Yeah, he moved in with steffy and finn today.

Deacon: Poor hope.

Hope: I miss douglas so much already.

Liam: Yeah, me too.

Hope: And I wish beth were here.

Liam: I– I thought, uh, we agreed that having her at her friends was probably best for today.

Hope: No, I know. I just…

Liam: Ah, yeah, yeah. Hey. I’m really proud of you. How you handled yourself today. And I know that leaving that boy at steffy’s, probably one of the hardest things you’ve ever had to do.

Hope: Yeah.

Steffy: Kelly and hayes will be so excited to see you.

Douglas: I know it’s asking a lot, maybe too much, but I feel at home here and I really love aunt steffy.

Finn: Well, she really loves you too.

Douglas: Probably seems weird I’d ask to live here. There was such a tug of war between my mom and dad, who to live with. Figure it’s better for them and me to not have to choose between them. I hope you understand and I hope you don’t mind.

Steffy: No, not at all.

Finn: You’re always welcome here, douglas. All right, we’re all family. Should we go find those binoculars?

Douglas: Yeah.

Finn: Yeah, come on.

[ Steffy sighing ]

[ Knocking on the door ]

Thomas: Hey.

Steffy: Thomas, what are you doing here?

Thomas: Like you have to ask. My son lives here now, which basically means I will be too. She found it.

Deacon: I just don’t understand. Why would douglas–

Taylor: Well, think about it. This is a tough situation for a kid to be in the middle of a custody battle. You know, douglas just chose neutral territory instead of having to choose one parent.

Deacon: Okay, but this is terrible. I mean hope adores that boy. He’s a son to her in every single way that matters. And now what? She’s just supposed to give him up? Let steffy raise him?

Taylor: For now, yeah. You know, deacon, this is confusing for everyone.

Deacon: You know, it occurs to me that this is exactly the kind of situation that normally would have the two of you at each other’s throats.

Brooke: We have a new normal.

Taylor: Yes, we do. We do. We’re just sticking together.

Brooke: Determined to keep harmony in our families.

Taylor: Family. Singular.

Brooke: Mm. Family!

Taylor: Family!

Deacon: Oh, god.

Liam: Hey, we can, um… we can bring that over to douglas tomorrow.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Hey, we’re gonna get through this. It’s not forever.

Hope: I hope not. It’s just, it’s hard not to worry with him so out of reach.

Liam: I know, but he’s in steffy’s hands which we know are capable.

Hope: Look, I know steffy is such an amazing mother, she’s loving and nurturing, but… you know, she’s also a sister and you know, if she’s not careful with thomas then–

Liam: She will be, she better be.

Hope: But you heard thomas. It’s almost like he views this as– as an opportunity, like douglas being at steffy’s gives him some sort of advantage and it just… I don’t know, it just– it makes me nervous.

Steffy: Thomas, douglas just got here. Why don’t you give him some time to adjust?

Thomas: Um, where is he anyway?

Steffy: He’s upstairs with finn. They’re… look, this is a big day for douglas and I’m trying to make this as stress free as possible.

Thomas: Wait, are you saying that somehow, I would stress him out? Steff, I love him, I’m his father.

Steffy: This is a complicated situation.

[ Steffy sighing ] Douglas chose to live with me. Not you, not hope.

Thomas: I know it was hard on him, putting him in that position, having to make that kind of decision. I don’t know how he even did it. And yeah, it hurt me. It did. At first, knowing he wanted to live with you, not with me. But now, that I’ve been thinking about it, it’s like it’s not that bad. He’s living with you, my sister. That means I get to see him whatever I want.

Steffy: Except you can’t, thomas. That’s not how it’s gonna be.

Thomas: What are you saying, steff? You’re gonna keep me away from my son? (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Hope: Seeing douglas’s room like that. It feels too quiet now. I mean, douglas should be asking us what’s for dinner right now and cracking jokes, making beth laugh. I already miss hearing him running all around this cabin and even that awful ding from that video game of his.

Liam: It’s coming back, all of it. The footsteps, the laughter, the stupid ding. It’s coming back, I promise.

Hope: I just need to believe steffy’s promise, you know, that she’s gonna keep him safe.

Liam: She will, she will. Especially from thomas.

Steffy: Thomas, do you realize how complicated this is for me? I was thrust into this role. I didn’t ask for this, caring for your son, but I am, I’m doing it. Part of that means I’m setting boundaries.

Thomas: Boundaries? Come on, steff.

Steffy: You’re the one who screwed up, thomas. It affected douglas. There are consequences to that! And one of those consequences is douglas choosing to live with me.

Thomas: I know I made mistakes and I hurt douglas and that– that– that pains me. But the best thing for our relationship is for me to get to spend time with him. I’m his father, he loves me.

Steffy: I know that, but this isn’t gonna be fixed overnight. Just be patient and trust that I’m doing everything in my power to make sure douglas feels happy and safe. I also made a promise to hope too.

Thomas: Wait, what does hope have to do with this?

Steffy: Hope’s douglas’s mother.

Thomas: And I’m his father. Okay, I just, I want to be with my son.

Steffy: I know you do, but at the moment, I am obligated to protect him.

Thomas: From me?

Steffy: I know you and douglas could have a rock solid relationship again. I just need you to work through your issues.

Thomas: I– I have apologized over and over again, steff. I’ve been kicked out of the family. I’ve been kicked out of the company. I’ve– now, I’m being kicked away from my relationship with my own son. I thought you were gonna be on my side, but instead, you’re like you are at work, you’re the ceo there, you’re the boss. So, you’re gonna come in and ceo my relationship with my son.

Finn: Thomas, do not speak to my wife like that.

Steffy: How’s douglas? Is he–

Finn: He has his headphones on, he’s upstairs. He’s fine.

Thomas: This conversation’s between me and my sister.

Finn: You don’t get to barge into our house and give orders and the sooner you understand that and respect that, the better off you’re gonna be. You don’t want to cause a scene and upset douglas even more. I think it’s best you leave.

Thomas: Okay, so I’m his father. He’s living here now. I haven’t been able to see his room or tell him that I love him and you’re asking me to leave?

Steffy: Like finn said, I don’t think that you want to create a scene or upset douglas.

Thomas: I am not going to allow you or finn to keep me away from my son.

[ Relaxing music ]

Liam: Hey, did you get any sleep last night?

Hope: Today’s the day we’re losing douglas.

Liam: We’re not losing him. He’s just staying at steffy’s for a little while.

Hope: He belongs here with us, liam. You, beth and I, we’re his family. And the fact that he chose to go live with steffy… it hurts.

Liam: Yeah, I know.

Hope: But I won’t let him see it because I don’t want to burden him with my pain. So…

Liam: That’s why you’re a great mom. And it is that love by the way, that’s gonna bring him home.

Steffy: I spoke to hope earlier, I guess douglas is eager to move in. She and liam want to drop him off today.

[ Finn exhaling ] Look, I know it’s sooner than expected and I said that I needed to talk to you first.

Finn: Is this really what you want?

Steffy: What I want is for douglas to be a carefree little boy. I want him to feel safe and happy. He doesn’t feel that way with thomas and for whatever reason, he doesn’t feel that way with hope either. Maybe he just needs a little break.

Finn: Well, could you blame him with everything that that kid has been through? Starting with having thomas as a father.

Thomas: Hey, granddad.

Eric: Thomas. All right, you’re here. What would you like to talk about?

Thomas: Well, first I’d like to thank you for seeing me. I’m painfully aware that I am persona non grata here. But I’d like an opportunity to make things right with the family.

Eric: You want another opportunity? Another chance?

Thomas: I know I let you down.

Eric: Yeah, you did. But my life wasn’t so affected by that. Ridge, brooke’s, taylor’s, steffy’s, douglas’S. Those are the lives that were turned upside down by what you did. You want another chance, you should be asking them.

Thomas: Look, I want to repair every single relationship that I’ve hurt, but none more than with my son. Douglas is the most important thing in the world to me.

Steffy: You are absolutely right, thomas has disappointed us so many times. No wonder douglas doesn’t want to live with him.

Finn: Yeah, and I get that. Why not choose to stay where he is? In his own house with his own family. Why does douglas want to stay here?

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Hold on. Hope, hey, hey, what’s– what’s going on?

Hope: Douglas is just packing up a few more things and then we will head over to your place shortly if that’s okay?

Steffy: Yeah, yeah, finn and I will be waiting. Are you all right?

Hope: Not really.

Steffy: I know this must be hard for you. Forget the legalities of it for now, okay, just keep telling yourself this is temporary. When the novelty wears off, douglas is gonna want to go back to you, liam and beth.

Hope: Yeah, that’s what I’m praying for. Um, yeah, well, we’ll see you soon.

Liam: Hey, heard some of that. Think of it this way, douglas needs space, steffy’s his aunt, she’s gonna take great care of him. He’s gonna have a good time with her and finn.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year.

Eric: So douglas has chosen to live with steffy and finn? I did not see that coming.

Thomas: Yeah, none of us saw that coming, including steffy and finn. I can’t say that I’m not hurt.

Eric: No, I’m sure, I’m sure. It can’t be easy for hope either.

Thomas: No, she’s, uh… she’s devastated.

Eric: Did douglas say why he chose to live with steffy and finn?

Thomas: He has fun over at their house? You know what? As– as mature as that kid is, and he’s wise beyond his years, he’s still a kid, you know, that’s still what he is and so he wants to have fun. Can’t blame that, especially after all of the adult drama he was drug into, courtesy of yours truly.

Eric: So you’re saying that you’re okay with this new living arrangement?

Thomas: I wouldn’t say I’m okay with it. But you know the more I think about it… I am– I am starting to see that it could be a benefit? I mean, steffy’s my sister and that means that I’ll have full access to my son.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: Okay, douglas’s room is ready.

Finn: I’m sure he’s gonna love the view.

Steffy: I just feel awful for hope.

Finn: Look, if it’s what you’ve been saying, douglas is gonna stay here awhile, we’ll make sure that it’s a good bridge for him and eventually he’ll go back home.

Steffy: Yeah.

Hope: Oh, douglas’s book. He’s been loving this. He’s not gonna want to forget it. I can’t believe this is actually happening. He’s leaving the home that we built together as a family and going to steffy’S. It just doesn’t make sense.

Liam: I know.

Hope: Are we doing the right thing? You know, letting him go? I mean should we have fought the judge harder on this? Because I– I really thought he was going to pick us.

Liam: Yeah, I mean he– he told us he would.

Hope: Gosh, he’s gonna be out any minute and I don’t want him to see me like this. Okay.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Douglas has made his choice and we just– we have to live with it.

Liam: Yeah. Douglas is a human being. He needs– he needs a change of scenery. This too shall pass, I promise.

Hope: Hey, sweetie.

Liam: Hey, you with the suitcase. You uh, you packed already?

Douglas: Yep.

Liam: Nice.

Hope: Except for this.

Douglas: Thanks, mom. Right in the middle.

Hope: I know. Um, so, you ready to go?

Douglas: No. I have something I want to say to both of you. Mr. Clean magic eraser powers Meet mixtiles! They stick and restick. Choose from dozens of sizes, frames and styles. Go to mixtiles.Com, upload pictures, pick a fancy frame and voila! Buy 10 and get 10 for free. Skin your face will envy?

Eric: So douglas is staying at steffy’s?

Thomas: Yeah. And I– I would’ve preferred douglas living with me. Obviously, I still have to win back douglas’s trust and that’s a lot easier if I can actually spend time with him. Have alone time with my son.

Eric: Well, hope has never kept you from seeing your son, has she?

Thomas: Not so far.

Eric: Well, she never would.

Thomas: I don’t– I don’t know about that. I mean look, hope doesn’t exactly trust me. And she also has liam in her ear every second disparaging me. I’m sure every single moment, so.

Eric: No one to blame for that but yourself.

Thomas: I’m just saying that the chances of me winning back my son’s trust are greatly improved with him over at steffy’s

Steffy: What’s going on?

Finn: Oh, nothing.

Steffy: Talk to me.

Finn: Okay, I– I admit I was a little thrown when you told me that douglas was gonna be living with us and I get it and I know that it’s a temporary thing and he’s a great kid. I certainly have no issues with him being here. I’m just wondering how douglas living here might affect kelly and hayes.

Steffy: Our kids love douglas.

Finn: Yeah, but him living here is gonna affect the dynamic of our family, right?

Steffy: Yeah. I mean, we need to be aware of what kelly and hayes are feeling. We need to make sure that they feel secure, that they feel confident. They don’t need to be put out in any way.

Steffy: That’s exactly what makes you such an incredible father. The way you prioritize your children, their needs, the way you protect them. We are so lucky to have you. And now douglas will be too.

Finn: Look, I care about the kid.

Steffy: I know you do. And you know how much I appreciate you. You’re such a great man and I am so proud to be your wife.

Douglas: I don’t want you guys to be sad.

Liam: No sadness. None, we promise. Although, we are gonna miss you a ton.

Douglas: I’ll miss you too. But this isn’t goodbye. I just need a change. It’s gonna be so fun living on the beach, spending more time with kelly and hayes. Maybe finn will even teach me how to surf.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: I’m sure he would love that.

Douglas: Thanks for understanding.

Liam: Hey, um, you know that none of this works if you’re not happy, right? If you wanted to be somewhere else. It’s not like you’re going out of town, you’re just going to your aunt’s house. And she loves you and she’s gonna take awesome care of you and you’re gonna have a blast.

Douglas: [ Whispering ] Don’t let mommy be sad.

Liam: [ Whispering ] I won’t, I got this.

Hope: Douglas, you know this will always be your home so you can come and visit whenever you want and we’ll be here with open arms.

Liam: She’s right. We love you so much.

Douglas: I love you too. Especially you, mommy.

Hope: Oh. Hi. You know I will always love you, okay? Your heart is the beat of life.

Thomas: I’m counting on it. And douglas’s best interest is to have his father in his life. I know that you believe that. That father-son bond, it’s– it’s sacred. It’s it needs to be nourished and maintained.

Eric: I do believe that. Love him, protect him, but don’t manipulate him.

Thomas: I won’T. Look I– I see what happened in those judge’s chambers as maybe a blessing in disguise. He– he didn’t choose to live with me, but he didn’t choose to live with hope and liam either. Douglas chose to live over at steffy’s, in a place where I can come and go as I please and you can trust me, I will be there a lot.

Steffy: Your bedroom is ready, douglas.

Douglas: Awesome. Thanks, aunt steffy.

Steffy: Of course.

Finn: Yeah, well, I can get these for you.

Steffy: Uh, hayes and kelly, they’re out with amelia but they’ll be– they’ll be back soon.

Finn: And they are gonna be really excited to see you.

Douglas: We’re gonna have so much fun. Thanks for letting me stay.

Steffy: You’re always welcome here, but just know your home and life in the cabin, it’s always there for you too if you need it.

Douglas: I know.

Steffy: Okay.

Finn: Well, should we go check out your room? Make sure it will work out for you?

Liam: Oh, cool. I want to see it. Can I come?

Finn: Yeah, come on, let’s all go.

Douglas: I love you, mommy.

Hope: You know I love you too. Now, remember what we talked about, okay? You be on your best behavior and you listen to what aunt steffy and finn have to say, right? Will you do that?

Douglas: I will.

Hope: I know you will because you’re the best. Now, go check out your room. Bye, sweetie.

Liam: Let’s do this.

Steffy: I know this must be hard for you.

Hope: Yeah, my baby just…

Steffy: Douglas needs a break. The novelty will wear off and he’s gonna want to go back to you, liam and beth.

Hope: Yeah. Um, well until then he’ll be here, so, um… I actually– I made a list of all douglas’s favorite foods and things he dislikes and his favorite things to do, so…

Steffy: Okay, thanks.

Hope: And I know it goes without saying but um, just make sure he’s careful around that cliff. Like I get it, you’re in baby mode and he’s– he’s older, he’s more adventurous.

Steffy: I– I know we’re gonna take care of him, don’t worry, okay?

Hope: And just um… watch out for thomas. I get that he’s your brother, but he’s already put douglas through a lot and I just want him to be–

Steffy: Okay, douglas is under my care. I will protect him, like he’s my own, okay? It’s gonna be fine, I promise.

Hope: Okay. Sorry, I’ve just been trying to keep a straight face in front of him this whole time. Um. It’s just hard not to feel rejected because he chose me to be his adoptive mom and we worked so hard to just fill his life with– with love and to make him feel secure and safe. Especially after everything he had been through, all that loss and all of that turmoil. For him to choose not to want to live with us, the family that we have built together. It just… it stinks, that’s all. Uh, like you said, this is just temporary and I have to respect his choice. Yeah, just um, please, please steffy, take care of my son. Please.

Steffy: I will.

Hope: Okay, okay.

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Uh– douglas wrote– wrote down your name?

Steffy: Believe me, I am just as shocked as you are.

Finn: Th– this was supposed to be a custody hearing. Thomas convinced the court to let douglas choose who he lives with, so–

Steffy: Yes, and he chose me. Us.

Finn: Is this for real? Steffy, you– your nephew’s very sweet, I know he loves spending time here with kelly and hayes, but–

Steffy: Now, he wants to live with us. He wants to be part of our family.

Hope: Steffy? Why did douglas choose steffy? He’s– he’s grown up with us. I’m his mom.

Liam: Yeah. And you always will be. That hasn’t changed, and it’s not going to.

Hope: But that was the entire point of going to court, liam, was to finally–

Liam: I know.

Hope: Get rid of the confusion around where he belongs.

Liam: I know, okay. Just– listen– listen for a second. Things didn’t go our way, but they didn’t go thomas’s way, either. And this isn’t over.

Hope: It’s my fault.

Liam: It’s n– no.

Hope: Mm-hmm.

Liam: It’s not– it’s not your fault.

Hope: Yes, it is.

Liam: Douglas loves you. He loves us. He made that so clear, hope.

Hope: Douglas is still a little boy, and we’re the adults. We’re his parents. I mean, how– how did we agree to let him choose his own guardian?

Liam: It wasn’t your idea to let douglas choose, it was thomas’S. He’s the one who pushed the issue, he’s the one who set up the meeting, and besides– we had a really good reason for being confident douglas would choose us.

Hope: So what? Now this is karmic payback? Punishment for being overly confident?

Liam: N– it’s not– no! It’s not karma, it’s not punishment, it’s just us trusting douglas to know what he needs, that’s it.

Hope: Yeah, well, now we have to trust his aunt to take care of him.

Liam: Yeah! For a little while, though. I me– steffy doesn’t want this. She doesn’t wanna take douglas from us. She told us that.

Hope: Yeah. I know, she was just as stunned as we were.

Liam: Right.

Hope: And I get why she felt like she couldn’t say no.

Liam: Exactly, ’cause it– no– nobody here wants douglas to feel rejected at this moment in his life. That’s why. That’s why steffy agrees. Maybe it is a good idea that he stay with her for a little while.

Steffy: I know it’s shocking.

Finn: No, it’s– it’s– it’s confusing. Douglas has devoted parents. Hope and thomas both wanna raise him.

Steffy: But he wants to live with us.

Finn: Why? What happened? Did thomas and hope get into it at the courthouse?

Steffy: No. No, nothing like that. The things they said were actually quite touching. It’s obvious how much they care about him.

Finn: You know, see, I thought for sure douglas would choose to stay with hope and liam.

Steffy: I– I was certain thomas was giving his son away.

Finn: Well, to you, apparently.

Steffy: Nobody expected this. I know it’s a lot to process. I told douglas that we would talk more, but first and foremost, we need to figure out if this is something we can do. What do you think? How do you feel about douglas living with us?

Can you save water using

a less than full dishwasher?

Liam: Yes, obviously I agree the best place for douglas is here, with us.

Hope: I agree. But steffy clearly doesn’T.

Liam: That’s– that’s not what she was saying, though.

Hope: Yeah, she thinks it’s best if douglas stays with her for a while.

Liam: Yeah, for a while! For a little while. And it’s because none of us want douglas to feel rejected, not because she thinks that you and I aren’t capable of caring for him. Everyb– everybody knows how much he means to us.

Hope: Yeah. But just the fact that he wants to go live with someone else. I mean, why? Why did he choose steffy over us?

Liam: I don’t know.

Hope: Part of me really wants to ask him. But I know how that would come across, and douglas just needs to feel unconditionally loved right now.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: That doesn’t matter, what he says or does. It– nothing will change that.

Liam: Right. Right. And that– and that we’re his family, and this is his home.

Hope: Yeah. Well, maybe it won’t be. What if it’s not what he wants? I mean, we only just got him back, liam.

Liam: Th– this isn’t permanent, it– it’s– it’s just that we’re all blindsided by it, and there’s a lot to sort out.

Hope: Well, the priority needs to be douglas.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: No, but we need to do what’s best for him.

Liam: Yeah. And you know something? Steffy feels exactly the same way. She– she loves douglas, but she didn’t walk in to court thinking she was gonna walk out his guardian.

Hope: Look, I– I understand that steffy is in a difficult position. I mean, no one wants douglas to feel abandoned or unloved, but at the same time, does that really mean that we just have to blindly go along with whatever he wants?

Steffy: Should have seen douglas’s face, asking if I didn’t want him here.

Finn: I get it, steffy, okay? It’s just… this is not a simple decision.

Steffy: I told him that. I tried to explain. But I was completely caught off guard. Thankfully, the judge and liam took douglas out, so hope, thomas and I could talk.

Finn: How did hope take it?

Steffy: She was beside herself.

Finn: I bet.

Steffy: At first, she wanted me to say no, but then she realized what this could do to douglas, how it’d make him feel. And as his mother, she doesn’t want to cause him any pain.

Finn: Even if that meant letting him go?

Steffy: She agreed to let douglas decide. I’m not saying she deserves this. She’s devastated.

Finn: Well, I’m sure she was certain that he would pick her.

Steffy: I don’t know why he didn’T. There must be a reason. My gut says, “trust that.” But I needed to talk to you first because this isn’t just my decision. So, what do you think? I know it’s a lot. Totally unexpected.

Finn: Look, douglas is a great kid, and I hate that he’s having to make these grown up decisions, and that his dad has put him in this awful position. Again. But this– this isn’t about douglas needing a place to stay, okay? We would be putting ourselves and our family right in the middle of his parents’ drama. Steffy, we have been through so much. And thankfully, we are okay. We are healthy. We are secure. And I am incredibly grateful for that. I was– I was just telling my mom how blessed I feel. And how you, kelly and hayes are everything that I could have ever wanted.

Steffy: I feel the same way.

Finn: Well, I don’t want anyone or anything to disrupt that again.

Steffy: So, you’re saying having douglas here, that could disrupt things–

Finn: Uh, uh, uh, no– douglas, he is a sweet, sweet little boy, and I love having him around, and I know how much kelly and hayes love having him. But he’s not our son. And he’s not alone in the world. This– this isn’T… like when he lost his mom, and hope stepped up and adopted him. Douglas has a stable home. All right? He has devoted parents. And he has thomas. He isn’t a perfect father, but hope and liam more than make up for that. So tell me you understand, tell me you hear what I’m saying.

Hope: Why? Why did I listen to thomas? What– what on earth was I thinking?

Liam: Hey, I know– I know hindsight is 20/20, but you’re talking about this as if it was a gamble. It was not a gamble. Douglas told us he would rather live with us and beth.

Hope: Oh, beth. How are we going to explain this to her? She views douglas as her brother.

Liam: Yeah, and– and kelly is her half-sister. They don’t live together, but they couldn’t possibly be any closer.

Hope: Except he won’t be here. Liam, you know it won’t be the same. And beth, she is so attached to him. You know she’s going to be devastated if he leaves here again. It was already so hard, having to explain to her why douglas was over at eric’s, and we had to keep reminding her that it was just temporary, only this time, it might not be. It feels like our family’s getting torn apart.

Liam: Hey. Hope. Can you look at me? Please, look at me. Nothing is getting torn apart. Douglas could be on the moon and he’d be just as connected to us. That is– that is family. That’s what family means.

Hope: Beth and douglas are children. And they need to feel secure. They need to feel safe, and they need to feel protected, and what have we told them? We told them that harm would never come to our family.

Liam: We– harm will not come to our– that’s not what this is. Wha– this is us feeling unprepared. It was a surprise, right? And there’s a lot to sort through. That’s– that’s all this is.

Hope: Yeah, well you heard the judge. She wants us to go along with what douglas asks.

Liam: Yeah, I know, but you– you also know that she knows this is more complicated than packing a suitcase.

Hope: Can’t even think about that. Going into his room and not seeing him there. Not being able to hear him reading beth a bedtime story. No more new projects on the table, or muddy shoes at the door. Douglas going to live with steffy just feels like it’s creating this giant hole, not only in our family, but in my heart.

Liam: I know.

Steffy: I will never take

you, our love, and our family

for granted…

because honestly, I am–

I didn’t really believe in–

in miracles, until today.

Seeing you there

at the church.

Did you know that you were

coming back to me

and our family?

I love you.

Both: I love you.

Finn: I love you so much,

steffy. Forever.

[ Both murmuring ]

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: Kelly and hayes fell asleep watching a movie. They’re in bed now.

Finn: I could have helped.

Steffy: Oh, no. It was– it was easy. I hear you regarding the whole douglas situation. I get it.

Finn: Look, and– and I sympathize with douglas, having thomas as a father.

Steffy: I do believe thomas wants to do better.

Finn: Hun, douglas isn’t ready to give him that chance yet.

Steffy: I think that’s one of the reasons douglas looks up to you. The compassion he feels. You’re the kind of man people look up to. Trust.

Finn: Well, I’m glad I can be that for him.

Steffy: Can’t be surprised that he wants to spend time with us.

Finn: Yeah, but living here, that’s– that’s different.

Steffy: But we said he’s always welcome.

Finn: And he is. It’s just, steffy, we are not his parents.

Steffy: But he can rely on us. I– I’m not saying he can’t count on hope, or– or liam. He can. And he loves them with all his heart. And despite everything thomas has done to mess up their relationship, I know douglas loves him too. I just feel like it’s a lot. Maybe he– maybe he needs a break.

Finn: Break?

Steffy: Yeah. Okay. What if douglas lives with us temporarily? He’s a little boy, he’s gonna miss his mom. And once he gets it out of his system, he’s gonna want to go back home. So, what do you think? Are you willing to open up our family to douglas for a little while? Nexgard is the flea and tick protection Douglas is s feels heard.

Finn: You wanna let douglas stay for a while?

Steffy: I suggested it to hope so douglas feels heard. Hey, once he realizes he wants to go home, he can. We would have to meet with the judge again to straighten everything out. Just, douglas is such a sweet, innocent little boy. I don’t want him to feel rejected or unwanted. I’m not saying he’s gonna live with us permanently. We don’t have to decide tonight. We can sit with it. Think it over, and if you wanna meet with thomas, hope, and liam, we can. You have a big, loving, generous heart. I know there’s room in there for douglas, too.

Hope: I get it, I get it. Douglas doesn’t want to be fought over.

Liam: I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s more that he doesn’t want to hurt you or his dad.

Hope: All right, liam, we’re the adults here. We’re the ones who should be taking care of him. He shouldn’t be worrying about us.

Liam: I know, but… it’s douglas. You know how he is.

Hope: So what, he thinks he’d just be happier living over at steffy’s, and more secure?

Liam: I, uh, well– I, you know, he’s been spending a lot of time over there. Maybe he just feels comfortable.

Hope: Liam, this is his home.

Liam: I’d– hope, I’m not– I don’t want him walking out that door any more than you do. I’m just saying.

Hope: Okay, so then we shouldn’t let it happen.

Liam: No, no. We have to let it happen. We have to. Because we promised him we would respect his decision. We renege on that, he’s never gonna trust us again. And you understand that.

Hope: I understand that. Doesn’t mean I have to like it, or that makes it any easier.

Liam: I know, I know. But think of it this– may– maybe, maybe steffy’s thought here is– is a good one, which is you think long term, he comes over to her place, he has like a little mini-vacation at aunt steffy’s, it’s like party time, right? We see how he likes it. But he’s still a kid. And in a few weeks, he’s gonna get homesick, and he’s gonna want to come back.

Hope: Only what if he doesn’t? What if he doesn’t want to? What if he stays, liam? It could be just like the hearing all over again, where we assume we know the outcome. And then, it backfires. Like, liam, uh– douglas is just as much a part of me as beth is, and I know I didn’t give birth to him, but I love him just as much. He is my child in every way that counts, and… I can’t lose him. He’s our son, and– and I can’t lose douglas. I can’T.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

After the funerals, John joins Steve at Kayla’s grave and tells him it was a beautiful service. Steve says so was Marlena’s and Kate’s. They agree that it’s just overwhelming. John thinks half the town showed up as they sure touched a lot of people’s lives. Steve says he lost count of how many times someone told him how much Kayla meant to them and how it doesn’t make sense that she’s gone. John can’t wrap his head around the fact that he’ll never see Marlena on Earth again, just like Steve will never see Kayla. Steve then informs John that he actually saw Kayla last night.

In the afterlife, Kate, Kayla, and Marlena wait around for Nick Fallon. Marlena comments on The Devil going through a lot of trouble to trick them in to signing away their souls. Kayla argues that he owes them a chance to plead their case. Nick then returns, so Marlena asks if they are getting a meeting with The Devil. Nick says it’s not easy to book a face to face with Satan and asks why he should care about three arrogant women.

Will and Sonny walk through the town square together. Will talks about going through three funerals in one day. Sonny hugs him and says at least they got to be around family. Will points out that he’s about to leave them right in the middle of all this suffering. Sonny says he doesn’t have to leave yet but Will reveals that he has to go to New Zealand for the shoot and can’t put it off any longer. Will hates that he has to say goodbye to Sonny again. Sonny responds that he doesn’t have to, because he’s going with him.

Roman is at the Brady Pub, on the phone with Lucas. Roman says he’s sorry that Lucas didn’t get to say goodbye to his mother and that it was a beautiful service. Lucas responds that being stuck in prison has made it a lot harder. Roman knows the timing stinks but says they need to talk about Orpheus. Lucas questions him wanting to put things in to motion today. Roman says if this is going to work, there’s no better time for Lucas to fall off the wagon then the day of his mother’s funeral.

Nick reveals to Kate, Kayla, and Marlena that they have been granted an audience with The Devil.

Will asks Sonny if he’s kidding but Sonny says no. Will says Sonny can’t come to New Zealand but Sonny says he can’t spend another minute away from him, feeling they’ve been separated long enough. Sonny reminds Will that last time they were separated for long, Leo nearly sunk their marriage. Sonny says he’s sorry but he can’t spend another six months away from him as that’s not what they signed up for. Sonny repeats that he’s sorry but he’s along for the ride and there’s nothing Will can do to stop him.

John questions Steve saying he saw Kayla. Steve knows how it sounds but says last night, he was on the couch drifting off when she suddenly came through the door. John calls that a really nice vision but Steve insists that she was flesh and blood. Steve doesn’t know but notes that Kayla said she needed his help because she, Marlena, and Kate had been tricked in to giving their souls away to the Devil. Steve knows it’s crazy but then Tripp came home and Kayla disappeared. Steve says Tripp tried to convince him it was just a dream, but he insists that it was real.

Roman knows Lucas is carrying a burden here and he wishes there was another way. Lucas assures that he will do it for his mom. Roman declares that all three women deserve justice and they are going to get it for them. Allie then enters the Pub and startles Roman. Allie questions if Lucas is on the phone because she thought Roman wasn’t speaking to him after what he did to Sami.

Kate and Kayla ask about the meeting with the Devil but Nick clarifies that Satan only agreed to see Marlena, not Kate and Kayla.

Will loves that Sonny wants to come with him but says he can’t let him pack up and leave Salem. Sonny asks if he’s saying no. Will says it’s not up to him as Victor won’t let him run Titan from New Zealand and Gabi won’t let them take Arianna to the other side of the world. Sonny reveals he already talked to Gabi and persuaded her, noting that it’s also what Arianna wants and there will be frequent visits. Will asks what he’s saying. Sonny tells him that he is what matters to him. Sonny declares that whatever happens, they will figure it out. Sonny tells Will that he loves him and never wants to be separated from him ever again.

Steve tells John that he knows it’s easy to explain away but swears it was not a dream. Steve wishes he could tell him he’s fine but he’s not. Steve cries that he will carry this grief with him for the rest of his life. John reminds him that is why they are going after Orpheus. Steve states that killing Orpheus won’t put a dent in what they’ve lost, but their wives need to be avenged and after last night, he believes that more than ever. John informs Steve that it’s time to hook up with Roman. John declares that now that they have laid the women they love to rest, it’s Orpheus’ turn.

Roman informs Allie that Lucas called to ask about the funeral and he’s sure that he would love to talk to her if she’s up to it. Allie agrees so Roman hands her the phone. Lucas says it’s really good to hear her voice and asks if she’s okay. Allie tells him that Kate’s service was beautiful and she wishes he could’ve been there. Allie mentions that she keeps thinking about how hard it must be for Lucas to be stuck in there with his grief and no outlet for it. Lucas tells her not to worry about him and to lean on the people who love her. Lucas notes that the guard is telling him he has to cut it short so he has to go. Allie says she’ll talk to him soon. Lucas hopes so and tells her to tell Roman that he’s glad they talked. Lucas tells Allie that he loves her more than she’ll ever know and then hangs up. Roman asks Allie if she’s alright. Allie says yes but she heard Roman telling Lucas something about Kate, Kayla, and Marlena deserving justice and that he would get it for them. Allie questions what he meant by that.

Kayla argues that she knew there would be a catch. Marlena feels they have to take their only option which Kayla agrees with. Marlena points out that she’s beaten The Devil twice, so she will meet with him and get their souls back. Nick tells them to stop wasting time and says there is no vote, it’s Marlena or no one. Marlena agrees to go with Nick to see his boss.

Will knows how much running Titan means to Sonny. Sonny points out that Alex is more than willing to step up as he already did before. Sonny assures it’s all under control and he’ll be working remotely. Sonny adds that he and Arianna can do whatever they want. Sonny says the only thing stopping them is Will. Sonny assures that he has everything figured out but for some reason, Will still seems to be against this. Sonny then kisses Will.

Roman tells Allie that everybody is having a rough time these days and it’s double for Lucas. Roman says they all want justice but Lucas feels helpless in prison, so he was just trying to reassure him. Allie says that’s very kind of him considering his feelings towards Lucas. Roman assures that he still has issues with Lucas, but they are family and Kate’s death reminded him of what’s really important. Allie thanks him and hugs him. Allie hopes that what Roman said comes true, that justice is served. Roman says they are working on it. Allie walks away as Steve and John come out from the back. Steve declares that it’s time.

Lucas asks the prison guard where Orpheus is and tells him to find Orpheus because he wants to talk to him ASAP.

John tells Roman that he’s sorry he had to lie to Allie. Roman is just glad she didn’t come in a minute earlier and he could get her off the scent. Steve ask if Roman is still in. Roman assures that he is. John says that’s good because he wants to be able to tell Marlena that her death did not go unavenged.

Nick escorts Marlena down a flight of stairs and directs her to meet with The Devil. Nick then disappears, so Marlena guesses she is on her own. Marlena continues forward and finds The Devil disguised as Doug, who asks if she missed him because he certainly has missed her.

Will asks Sonny if he is really coming to New Zealand. Sonny thinks they deserve it after everything they’ve been through together. Will talks about how he’s always the one leaving and putting pressure on them. Sonny says they make things right when they have to. They agree that what they have is worth everything. Will feels Sonny is making the bigger sacrifice. Sonny says maybe this time, but he’ll have plenty of opportunities in the future which Will promises to do. Will tells Sonny that he loves him. Sonny says he loves him too and can’t wait to tell him that every day in person. Will guesses they have a bunch of people to share the news with then. Allie approaches and asks what news.

Kate tells Kayla that she keeps thinking what if this isn’t real. Kayla says she has to believe this is not a trick and that they are going to have a chance to change their fate. Kayla encourages Kate to have faith as they are in this together. Kate admits she’s grateful she is here with Kayla and Marlena. Nick returns and says he hates the peace and understanding. Nick calls their funerals sappy. Kayla asks how their families are. Nick says they were really sad, especially Steve. Nick then asks Kayla about paying Steve a visit last night.

Steve asks if Lucas is all set on his end. Roman confirms that he went through everything with him and he’s still on board. John worries that bringing booze back in to his life is a dangerous game. Roman assures that they can count on Lucas and asks if they are ready. Steve responds that they were born ready and Orpheus won’t know what hit him.

Orpheus meets with Lucas in prison and says he heard he wanted to speak with him. Lucas asks what took him so long. Orpheus questions what’s wrong with him and if he’s drunk. Lucas responds that he’s not drunk enough and gives him back the now empty whiskey bottle, saying he wants more. Orpheus comments that Lucas drank the bottle awfully fast considering he didn’t want it. Lucas staggers and asks if he has to beg him. Lucas tells Orpheus that today was his mother’s funeral and he missed it. Orpheus says he’s sorry to hear that but Lucas says he’s not because he killed her. Lucas declares that if he’s going to make it through the day, he’s going to need more alcohol. Lucas grabs Orpheus and asks if he’s going to help him or not.

Marlena doesn’t understand how The Devil is Doug. The Devil thought assuming a familiar face might make her more comfortable. He adds that if she saw his real face, her face would just melt away. Marlena wants to stop wasting time. The Devil asks how he can help her.

Allie questions Will and Sonny leaving today just like that. Will says he had the same reaction but now sees how much sense it makes. Allie says she’s going to miss them but admits she’s excited for them. Allie notes that Sonny has so much going on here, so it can’t be easy for him. Sonny says nothing in life ever is. Sonny notes that he kept worrying about the details and then it hit him that being happy is all that really matters, so once he accepted that, everything else falls in to place. Will asks if Allie is okay. Allie then asks what if she and her son Henry come along?

Orpheus tells Lucas that it must hurt missing his mother’s funeral, knowing it’s because he kidnapped his ex-wife. Orpheus tells him to stay put and he’ll be back in a few. Orpheus stops and says he didn’t kill his mother. Orpheus then warns Lucas to stop saying that or they are done. Orpheus then exits the visiting room. Lucas remarks that Orpheus did kill her and today he’s going to pay for it.

Kate questions what Nick is talking about. Kayla pretends not to know but Nick tells Kate that Kayla went solo and didn’t tell her. Kate questions what Kayla did. Nick reveals that Kayla made unauthorized contact with Steve, thinking he could get her out of here. Kate questions how Kayla saw Steve. Nick says Steve may be a miracle worker, but even he isn’t going to get her out of this one.

Steve hopes their wives are looking down on them, knowing that they are doing this for them. Roman wishes he was going with them but John says it’s better to have someone on the outside in case this all goes sideways. Steve assures that it won’t because it can’t and this has to work. Roman encourages that they have justice on their side and three angels in Heaven looking out for them. Roman wishes them luck as Steve and John then exit the Pub. Roman pleads for Lucas not to fail them.

Orpheus returns to Lucas. Orpheus taunts him with the whiskey and says he thinks it’s only fitting and proper that they honor his mother by drinking a toast to her together. Lucas says he drinks alone and doesn’t share. Orpheus tells him not to worry because there’s plenty more. Orpheus then gives Lucas the bottle to go first. Lucas takes the bottle but the guard interrupts and informs Orpheus that he’s late for group therapy. Orpheus remarks that he must have lost track of time. Orpheus leaves the bottle with Lucas and exits. Lucas then puts some of the whiskey on himself and then pours it in the trash.

Marlena argues that The Devil knows exactly why she’s there as she came to challenge the bogus contracts that Nick tricked them in to signing. The Devil says things are different in Hell and they encourage lawlessness. Marlena understands he wants their souls but asks if he can’t get them in the normal way instead of trying to trick them. Marlena argues that The Devil is not some cheap con man, but the most powerful force of evil in the universe. Marlena asks if tricking them makes him feel proud. Marlena thinks it makes him look weak.

Will questions Allie wanting to leave Salem with them. Sonny asks where this is coming from. Allie knows it may seem impulsive but it makes sense to her. Allie talks about thinking of the lives that Marlena, Kayla, and Kate lived without fear or regrets and taking chances. Will asks about everything Allie would be leaving behind. Allie reveals to them that Chanel broke up with her. Will says he’s sorry as he didn’t know that. Sonny calls it Chanel’s loss but Allie says this one is on her. Allie then admits that she slept with Alex because she thought Chanel and Johnny were hooking up, but she was wrong. Will asks Allie if she’s sure it’s over for her and Chanel and if she doesn’t want to stay and fight for her. Allie knows when Chanel has made up her mind, pushing her is the worst thing to do. Allie says she will always love her but she knows they could use the time and space apart. Will asks about her job. Allie points out that she will have to quit since her boss was the person she cheated on. Allie adds that she talked to Lucas, who told her to lean on the people she loves and do whatever is best for her and Henry. Will calls that good advice. Allie notes that she’s a single mom with no job or prospects. Allie states that they buried their grandmothers today, so she could use something positive in their lives. Allie adds that they may never get this opportunity again to recharge and reboot. Allie says there’s no where better than the most beautiful place in the world with her two favorite people. Will asks if she’s sure. Allie says it sounds like Heaven on Earth.

Marlena tells The Devil that Nick and his games are beneath him. The Devil says losing to Marlena twice was a bitter experience and he hates losing. Marlena asks if he doesn’t want to prove once and for all that he’s stronger than her. The Devil talks about taking a difficult path and then declares that he has made his decision.

Kate questions Kayla about contacting Steve. Kayla believes that she did. Kate asks if Steve talked to her and saw her. Kayla says she doesn’t know but she was desperate to let Steve know that she’s okay. Kate asks how Nick could not let her know so that she could’ve talked to Roman or Lucas.

The guard returns to Lucas, who pretends to be drunk and demands to see Orpheus because he needs more. Lucas lunges at the guard and ends up hitting the table, so the guard calls in that they have an inmate down and that he needs assistance to send him to the infirmary.

Will states that he was heading back to New Zealand alone but now they better charter their own flight as they accept Allie coming with them. Allie excitedly hugs Will and Sonny.

Kate asks Nick how she can reach her family. Nick says that had nothing to do with him as Kayla found a way around their fire wall but it’s been plugged up and won’t happen again. Kayla assures that she will keep trying. Nick insists it won’t happen again which is a shame because it looks like there will be some interesting developments today. Kayla questions what he’s talking about. Nick declares that there is murder in the air. Nick then reveals that Steve, John, and Roman are going to avenge their deaths by killing Orpheus today.

Roman says to himself that everything should be starting to come together right about now.

Orpheus returns to the visiting room. The guard comes in after him and questions what was in the booze that he gave Lucas, because he passed out and he had to send him to the infirmary. Orpheus calls Lucas a loser who can’t handle his alcohol.

Lucas gets set up in the infirmary and calls out for his mom, so the nurse goes to get him a doctor. Lucas then jumps up and meets Steve and John at the door.

The Devil tells Marlena that he can’t believe he’s saying this, but he’s willing to tear up the contracts of Kate and Kayla in exchange for Marlena staying by his side for all eternity.

Update written by Joseph

EJ and Nicole arrive at the Bistro and see Eric and Sloan. EJ tells Nicole they can go somewhere else but Nicole insists that she’s fine. Nicole says it’s Valentine’s Day and every place will be busy and she’s starving. EJ asks if she doesn’t mind being in the same room as them. Nicole responds that if Eric can take it, she can, so they get a table for two. Sloan remarks to Eric that this should be fun. Sloan jokes that usually she sees Valentine’s Day as just a commercial ripoff, but this just got a lot more interesting.

Johnny walks through the town square with a bouquet of flowers and then bumps in to Tripp. Tripp guesses the flowers are for Chanel but Johnny reveals that they are actually for Wendy.

Li sits alone in his hotel room and finishes his second glass of wine until there’s a knock at the door. Li hopes it’s Gabi but it’s Wendy. Wendy tells Li that he has to face the reality that he completely blew it with Gabi and it’s over.

Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him while Stefan responds “I love you too, Chloe,” leaving Gabi confused. Gabi asks if he just heard what he said as she can’t believe he just called her Chloe.

Steve is passed out on the couch at home with he and Kayla’s wedding photo nearby. Steve then dreams of seeing Kayla in the room as it is their anniversary.

Nicole complains to EJ about Sloan and Eric grinning at each other. Nicole remarks that she thought Sloan was just rebound sex but now Eric is staring at her like she hung the moon and now they are spending Valentine’s Day together. EJ reminds her that they are too. Nicole argues that they are just celebrating the Italian deal while EJ points out that it’s also the proper dinner date that he promised her. EJ adds that it can be as romantic as he wants it to be as he holds her hand which Eric looks over and sees. Sloan asks Eric what’s wrong. Eric responds that Nicole led him to believe there was nothing romantic going on with EJ, but now she’s holding hands with him and probably sleeping with him too. Sloan calls it sad that it still bothers him.

Johnny knows Tripp thinks something is going on with he and Chanel. Tripp says he owes him no explanation and that he thinks it’s great if he and Wendy worked things out. Tripp asks if he has big plans for tonight. Johnny confirms he’s supposed to meet Wendy in a couple minutes and they are going to see a movie. Tripp apologizes if he screwed up his date with her last night. Tripp explains that Joey called Wendy and told her that he needed her. Tripp adds that he doesn’t know what’s gotten in to Joey but for some reason, he decided to play matchmaker and that he was interested in Wendy. Johnny then asks if Joey’s right.

Wendy asks Li what happened now. Li explains that he asked Gabi to have dinner with him and she turned him down flat. Wendy says she’s sorry. Li questions what she’s doing here on Valentine’s Day and guesses she was checking up on him. Li gets why since he’s lonely, unemployed, and possibly about to go to prison. Wendy suggests that if Li wants Gabi back, he has to start small. Wendy tells him that he should invite her out for coffee and be her friend instead of inviting her over for Valentine’s Day dinner. Li responds that he doesn’t want to just be Gabi’s friend as she is still his wife. Wendy points out that the only guy she wants is her previous husband, Stefan. Li admits that he knows.

Stefan claims he didn’t call Gabi “Chloe” and that he wouldn’t do that but Gabi insists that she heard it. Stefan says that if he did, it’s only because he’s worried about Chloe. Gabi questions him worrying about Chloe when he’s about to take her upstairs to bed and asks why he’s worried about Chloe. Stefan says that Chloe ran out after Dr. Rolf was taken in to custody and he hasn’t heard from her since. Stefan says he left her three messages that she’s ignored and called her earlier. Gabi then questions if Stefan called Chloe before or after he called her.

Steve imagines seeing Kayla but says it can’t be real and he just had too much to drink but she insists that it’s real as they kiss.

Eric tells Sloan that he’s not bothered, he’s just tired of people telling him that he’s not over Nicole. Eric then admits that maybe he’s not. Sloan guesses now he’s afraid that she’s over him. Eric states that he’s the one who divorced Nicole, so she has every right to move on, and he just wishes it wasn’t with that jackass. Nicole tells EJ that Eric could have any woman he wants, so she doesn’t know why he’s settling for Sloan. Nicole then apologizes. EJ tells her that she can go on but Nicole doesn’t want to spend the rest of the evening talking about Eric. Nicole then pours them glasses of champagne and toasts to their first proper dinner date. Eric finishes his glass of wine at the same time.

Li tells Wendy that he doesn’t understand why a woman like Gabi would waste her time on a man that loves somebody else. Wendy relates to trying to believe he loves her more. Li says he wasn’t talking about her and Johnny. Li offers her a glass of wine but Wendy responds that she has plans tonight with Johnny. Li thought they were over. Wendy says it turns out to be a misunderstanding. Li notes that Gabi encouraged her to not give up so easily, that Johnny is a good guy, and that she should fight for him. Li tells her to go ahead and have a wonderful time. Wendy asks if he’s sure he’ll be okay. Li is just glad one of them is having a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Stefan admits to Gabi that he called Chloe before he called her, but only because C comes before G in his contact list. Stefan argues that he’s been through a lot. Gabi calls him unbelievable as she thought he called her over because he made his decision that she’s the one he wanted. Gabi questions if he called her by hitting the wrong button. Stefan insists that he knew what he was doing. Gabi asks if he only called her because Chloe didn’t pick up. Gabi then questions if she would even be here if Chloe did pick up.

Tripp tells Johnny about how he met Wendy last summer and Joey was there. Tripp says that he and Wendy are friends which Johnny questions him more about, but Wendy then arrives. Wendy apologizes for being late as she stopped to check on her brother. Wendy asks if they were talking about her. Tripp says they just ran in to each other and Johnny just told him that they worked things out, so he’s really happy for them. Tripp tells them to have fun tonight. Wendy wishes him a Happy Valentine’s Day. Tripp wishes her the same and walks away. Johnny then gives Wendy his flowers which she calls so sweet of him.

Steve questions his imagination of Kayla, who says she really needs his help because Heaven is not working out.

Nicole asks EJ how long he thinks they have to stay out to give Stefan space for whatever he’s planning. EJ has no idea what Stefan has in mind. Nicole says Stefan is dreaming if he thinks he can keep stringing Chloe and Gabi along. EJ believes he heard Chloe was not returning his calls. Nicole informs EJ that Chloe left town because she had it after Brady lied to her and she thought she had something with Stefan until she found out that he was just programmed to fall for her. The waitress comes by to ask if they are ready to order. Nicole orders the steak that Sloan is having but the waitress informs her that Sloan got the last one, so Nicole asks for a few more minutes to look over the menu. Eric has some of Sloan’s steak and comments that it’s so good. Nicole rolls her eyes and asks why they don’t just take it back to her place. EJ responds that he’s sure they will eventually.

Stefan tells Gabi that he’s not lying and that he really was going to call her. Gabi questions if he was going to call her and Chloe and hope for a threesome. Stefan says no, unless she’s in to that. Gabi then throws her wine on him. Stefan can’t believe what she has done. Gabi says he deserved it and she can’t believe she was going to sleep with him tonight. Stefan begins to remove his wine-stained shirt and tells Gabi not to be upset. Gabi says she’s beyond upset. Gabi tells him about Rafe telling her to focus on the fact that he loves her, but says it’s hard to focus on that when he also loves Chloe. Gabi gathers her things so Stefan questions if she’s really leaving and tries to stop her. Stefan declares that he really does love her. Gabi responds that when he decides that she’s the only woman he loves, he can call her then as she then storms out of the mansion.

Steve continues talking to his vision of Kayla, who tells him about being in a locked room in Heaven and seeing Adrienne but it turned out to be Nick Fallon, who tricked her in to signing away her soul.

Eric and Sloan laugh together while Nicole complains to EJ that the PDA at their table has ruined her appetite. Nicole asks EJ what his excuse is. EJ responds that he just has a headache. Nicole questions him having a headache again and feels his face, which Eric notices. Nicole notes that EJ doesn’t feel like he has a fever. EJ responds that he just feels a bit off. Nicole suggests maybe her hangover was a bug she passed on to him. Nicole wants to check if they have aspirin. EJ says that’s not necessary but Nicole insists that he needs to take something for his headache. Eric realizes he forgot his glasses in the car to read the menu, so he gets up to go get them but realizes he left his keys. Eric turns back around but runs in to Nicole right as she gets up from her table.

Johnny brings Wendy to the DiMera Mansion where they see Stefan cleaning his shirt in the living room. Johnny points out that they have servants for that. Stefan responds that he can handle it himself. Johnny guesses his evening didn’t go very well. Stefan admits that it sucked because Gabi walked out on him.

Li calls for room service but hangs up when Gabi arrives at his door, asking if his dinner invitation was still open. Li says of course it is and invites her inside.

Steve talks to his vision of Kayla about her, Kate, and Marlena signing their souls away. She says somebody needs to help them. Steve says he would do anything but he doesn’t get this because Heaven is not a place of corruption. Kayla wonders if they got sidetracked from Heaven somehow and says whenever she’s in trouble, she turns to him, bringing up how many times he has rescued her. Steve wishes he could’ve saved her this time. His vision of Kayla asks him to help her one last time. Steve tells her to just tell him what to do. Tripp then comes home and finds Steve asleep on the couch. Tripp asks if he’s okay and who he was talking to. Steve responds that Kayla was there. Tripp calls that not possible. Steve insists that Kayla told him that she needed his help because Nick Fallon tricked her in to selling her soul to the Devil. Tripp says it was a dream and he was talking in his sleep. Steve swears that she was there and it was real. Tripp understands he’s thinking about her because today is their wedding anniversary and tomorrow is her funeral. Tripp notes that Steve also had a certain amount of beer and he totally gets it. Steve decides maybe he’s right, but it felt so real.

Eric tells Nicole that he was worried about her after she fainted, but she seems fine today. Nicole assures him it was nothing and asks how he is doing. Eric says he’s fine. Nicole calls that hard to believe since Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s funeral is tomorrow. Eric would rather not talk about that. Nicole just wanted to say she was thinking about him and his family but tells him to forget it as she sits back down. Nicole realizes she forgot to get EJ’s aspirin. Eric goes back to his table and realizes he forgot his glasses. Sloan tells him to forget about it because she’s had enough of this for tonight and asks if they can just go home. EJ offers to take Nicole home and says they can go out on another proper dinner date another night.

Li is curious why Gabi is there since she made it clear on the phone that she had no interest in seeing him. Gabi claims that she realized they should talk about the divorce. Li thinks back to Sloan telling him there are ways to drag it out. Li tells Gabi that he doesn’t want a divorce, but he knows she does and he loves her enough to want her to be happy, so he will talk to his lawyer to get the ball rolling. Gabi asks if he’s serious. Li responds that he always is. Gabi thanks him. Li says it’s the least he could do.

Johnny questions Stefan calling Gabi “Chloe”. Stefan says he didn’t mean to but he’s clearly still not thinking straight. Johnny and Wendy blame it on Li, Kristen, and EJ. Stefan remarks that he was everybody’s pet project. Wendy mentions hearing Dr. Rolf will be released on bail, so maybe he can undo what he did to him. Johnny encourages that Stefan can go back to the guy he used to be and that he hears that Stefan was totally in love with Gabi back then. Stefan confirms that he was. Wendy adds that his feelings for Chloe are like Dr. Rolf’s idea, so he should be able to make them disappear. Stefan responds that the weird thing is, he’s not sure that he wants him too.

Tripp starts cleaning up which Steve questions, saying that it’s Valentine’s Day so Tripp should be out with some nice girl. Tripp responds that all the nice girls he knows already have a date. Steve asks about Wendy. Tripp questions why he asked about her. Steve says he heard Tripp and Joey talking about her, so he suggests giving her call and asks what he has to lose. Tripp says he’d lose his self respect since she already has plans.

Johnny and Wendy question how someone could want to stay brainwashed. Stefan explains that what Dr. Rolf did only made him show up at Chloe’s door, the rest was him. Stefan says he started talking to Chloe and remembered how much he liked her which was well before he and Gabi were serious. Stefan adds that he and Chloe were getting somewhere which was not Dr. Rolf’s idea and then the truth came out, so he remembered how much he loved Gabi. Johnny comments that Dr. Rolf really messed with his head which Stefan acknowledges. Wendy guesses it must be pretty confusing. Stefan questions who says it’s not possible to have deep feelings for two different people. Wendy remarks that she can only imagine what that’s like while Johnny comments that stringing two women along like that doesn’t seem very manly. EJ and Nicole then come home. Nicole asks if they can join the party while Stefan calls it more of a wake.

Li asks Gabi if she’s had dinner which she admits she hasn’t. Li says he was just about to order room service, but he can order for two. Li then points out that she’s not with Stefan on Valentine’s Day. Gabi responds that she was with him and they were going to make love for the first time in forever. Li asks what happened. Gabi claims nothing. Li says she’s been obsessing over him since finding out he was alive, so he questions what stopped her tonight. Gabi then reveals that Stefan called her Chloe which causes Li to bust out laughing.

Eric brings Sloan home. Sloan calls Valentine’s Day a bust. Eric is sorry they didn’t get to have dessert. Sloan thinks they can still salvage the evening, assuming he still wants to do that. Sloan knows tonight was awkward and tomorrow will be one of the worst days of his life, so she will understand if he just wants to call it an evening, but if he wants to rip off her clothes and forget about everything else in the world, she’s up for that.

EJ and Nicole head upstairs. Nicole says she doesn’t know what was going on downstairs with Stefan but she didn’t want to hang around and find out. EJ says he didn’t either. Nicole adds that there was enough awkwardness for the evening. EJ then informs her that he heard what Eric said to her about her fainting in the park and questions why she didn’t tell him. Nicole calls it just a couple seconds and no big deal. EJ says it is to him. Nicole asks why. EJ brings up that Nicole said she changed her mind about them sleeping together. EJ tells Nicole how lovely and desirable she looks this evening. Nicole reminds him that they’ve been taking it one day at a time for exactly one day now. EJ points out that she didn’t seem so reluctant yesterday but supposes that was the alcohol talking. Nicole doesn’t know why since she only had two drinks. EJ suggests a kiss goodnight which Nicole calls an excellent next step as they then kiss.

Gabi tells Li to stop laughing as it’s not funny. Gabi blames Li for the whole nightmare since he played God with Stefan’s life. Li responds that he did that because he’s crazy about her. Li adds that Dr. Rolf could do whatever he wanted to him and it would never change that he’s crazy in love with him. Li says it makes him sick when Stefan is playing both ends when he could have Gabi all to himself if he wanted which is all Li wants. Li adds that if he ever went a little overboard, that’s why. Li admits maybe he went a lot overboard. Li asks Gabi to stay for dinner, which she agrees to do.

Stefan tells Johnny and Wendy that if they are hungry, the kitchen is cooking dinner for two and he’d hate to see it go to waste. Wendy jokes that they were just going to have popcorn which Stefan questions being dinner. Johnny explains that they are going to be streaming Evil Dead 2. Stefan jokes about Johnny knowing how to treat a woman on Valentine’s Day. Johnny remarks that he seems to be doing better than Stefan did. Stefan tells them to enjoy their night and exits. Johnny tells Wendy that maybe he’s right if she wants to watch something else. Wendy responds that she doesn’t care what they watch as she just wants to be with him.

Eric tells Sloan that he thinks he wants to go to bed. Sloan says she understands. Eric clarifies that he means with her. Eric wants just what she said, to forget about everything else in the world and be with her. Eric and Sloan then start kissing.

EJ tells Nicole that he guesses this is goodnight. Nicole says what the hell and continues kissing EJ. EJ stops her and asks if she’s sure. Nicole says yes, unless he’s not. EJ then opens the door to his bedroom and she pulls him inside as they shut the door.

Tripp brings Steve a drink to restore his electrolyte balance. Steve thanks him and tearfully calls him a good son. Tripp tells his dad that he loves him. Tripp asks if he’s going to get some sleep. Steve says he will eventually and tells Tripp to go ahead as tomorrow is going to be a long, hard day. Tripp says goodnight to Steve and heads to his room. Steve starts to cry and thinks back to his last wedding to Kayla. Steve asks how he’s supposed to let Kayla go. Steve insists that seeing her earlier was just so real and questions where she is. Steve adds that he would go anywhere to help her as he holds their wedding photo. Steve declares that his vow to her remains the same; he will love her until the end of time. Steve wishes Kayla a happy anniversary.

At Basic Black, Brady finds an arrangement of roses for Valentine’s Day sent by Stefan to Chloe. Brady dumps the roses in the trash and drops the card on the floor. Brady then pulls out his phone and calls Chloe. Brady leaves a message, saying he knows he’s left 20 messages since she checked out of the Salem Inn but he’s worried about her and no one he knows has seen or heard from her. Nicole then arrives and reveals that she has.

EJ and Stefan enter the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Stefan praises Nicole for closing an Italian deal for Basic Black and being on fire. EJ says unlike him and remarks that he doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. Stefan comments that EJ lost his train of thought, but thankfully Nicole was there to save them and bring it home. Stefan asks if EJ is alright. EJ says he’s just a bit foggy again but it will pass. Stefan suggests he needs a good stiff drink which he accepts. Stefan then goes to pour EJ a drink and drugs it again.

Gabi joins Rafe in his office at the police station and questions what is taking so long. Gabi complains that she hasn’t heard from anybody and tells Rafe that he needs to release Dr. Rolf now so he can finish fixing Stefan. Rafe reminds her that he’s happy to do that as soon as Dr. Rolf comes through with the goods on Li Shin.

Sloan goes to Li’s hotel room and informs him that Dr. Rolf wrote a long statement, detailing everything Li had done to Stefan, but as their attorney, she convinced him not to sign it and that it was his best chance to avoid being charged. Li remarks that speaking of charges, he got her first bill. Sloan responds that she may be easy, but she’s not cheap. Sloan asks him what’s wrong since she just made the Dr. Rolf problem go away, but he still doesn’t seem happy. Li responds that he is, but now he just wants to know what she’s going to do about his Gabi problem.

Nicole questions Brady trashing the roses and picks up the card to see they were from Stefan. Brady states that Stefan needs to go back to Gabi. Nicole is pretty sure that was the idea of the forced deprogramming she put him through. Brady mentions Anna telling him about that and asks if Gabi really held Stefan prisoner in the DiMera basement which Nicole confirms. Nicole explains that Dr. Rolf showed up to zap Stefan’s brain but his machine broke halfway through the procedure, so Stefan does love Gabi now but he also loves Chloe. Nicole talks about feeling bad for Stefan. Brady continues to argue that Stefan should be with Gabi. Nicole agrees that Brady should be with Chloe and mentions that she even told Stefan that after the procedure. Brady asks Nicole about speaking with Chloe and if she’s okay. Nicole says kind of but she’s freaked out since she’s been on an insane roller coaster caught between Stefan and Brady. Brady brings up that Anna told him that Chloe went to the DiMera Mansion to tell Stefan that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Nicole confirms that and brings up that once she got there, Stefan’s feelings for Gabi were back and Chloe just had to get out of there. Brady asks Nicole to tell him where Chloe is, but Nicole says she can’t. Brady questions why not so Nicole reveals that Chloe doesn’t want to see him either because she’s still upset about him breaking up with her out of the blue and moving Kristen in. Brady argues that now she knows why he did it but Nicole says that Chloe doesn’t understand why he didn’t confide in her first. Brady complains that he couldn’t because Kristen was blackmailing him. Nicole explains that Chloe still wishes he told her so she could help him and that he trusted her. Brady repeats that Kristen was threatening him with Marlena, Kayla, and Kate’s lives and then they died anyway. Brady admits maybe he should’ve said something, then maybe they would have been saved. Nicole says what happened to the women is not his fault. Brady says all he knows is that they are gone. Brady complains that this tragic set of circumstances and then losing Chloe is all too much. Nicole encourages that he hasn’t lost Chloe and she’s just overwhelmed and needed space. Nicole reminds Brady that she is on his side and she wants him and Chloe to be together. Brady asks what if they are stuck in love limbo indefinitely. Nicole says nobody wants that including Stefan. Nicole declares that sooner or later, Dr. Rolf will finish the procedure and everything will go back to the way it should be; Brady with Chloe and Stefan with Gabi.

Gabi complains to Rafe that this waiting is torture, so he needs to release Dr. Rolf. Rafe tells her to chill while Gabi complains about Stefan having feelings for her and Chloe. Rafe says he feels for her and that’s why he’s trying to get the information on Li. Gabi doesn’t want to be reminded that she’s married to him. Rafe says he’s trying to get the evidence to charge him. Gabi thought Dr. Rolf was writing his statement. Rafe confirms that he did, but then Sloan walked in and somehow kept him from signing it.

Li tells Sloan that Gabi is infatuated with Stefan and hates his guts. Li brings up Gabi wanting a divorce. Sloan reminds him that they can fight that and says she could drag it out in court for months or even years, though it could get expensive. Li assures that money won’t be an issue and tells her to just keep him out of prison and keep him in his marriage. Li says he’ll find a way to get Gabi to forgive him and forget all about Stefan.

Stefan gives EJ his drugged drink and claims he hopes it will get him to shake off the cobwebs. Stefan toasts to always looking after each other and to family. Before they take their drink, Chad walks in and says he wants in on this as well. Chad hugs them and mentions hearing about Stefan’s impromptu session with Dr. Rolf and that he got his feelings for Gabi back when Stefan confirms. Chad is happy that Stefan is back in the right state of mind but admits he still has reservations about Gabi. EJ adds that he does too but their reunion isn’t a done deal yet, because Stefan still has feelings for Chloe. Stefan remarks that there are worse fates than being in love with two beautiful women. Chad is not sure he agrees but says since it’s Valentine’s Day, he will drink to that. Chad says first he needs a drink, so EJ offers him his drink which worries Stefan.

Brady reminds Nicole that it’s Valentine’s Day. Nicole says she promised Chloe that she wouldn’t tell anyone where she is. Brady says he just wants to talk to her but she’s not answering her phone. Brady wants to be able to ask how she’s doing, tell her that he misses her and that he loves her. Nicole promises him that Chloe knows. Nicole reminds him that tomorrow is Marlena’s funeral, so she thinks he should just let this go for now and focus on helping his family get through that. Brady agrees to try and decides he doesn’t want to talk about himself anymore. Brady asks how Nicole is. Nicole says she’s fine and hungry. Nicole mentions closing the Italian deal. Brady questions her about calling in sick yesterday about a weird hangover. Nicole calls it weird because she only had two drinks but felt like she got hit by a trick. Brady tells her that she’s not the only one because Eric is drinking. Nicole says she knows because she ran in to him yesterday and his breath smelled like beer. Brady informs her that Eric invited him to join him which surprises her. Brady assures that he declined but he’s worried that Eric is not in a good place. Nicole points out that he did just lose his mom. Brady says that’s definitely part of it, but he thinks there’s a little more to it. Brady argues that he thinks Eric and Nicole miss each other more than they’ll ever admit. Nicole doubts Eric’s drinking has anything to do with her since he’s moved on and prefers hanging out with Sloan Peterson. Brady asks what about Nicole as he hears she’s been hanging out with EJ. Brady questions what’s going on there and if Nicole has moved on.

EJ decides he doesn’t need the drink right now. Chad asks if he’s okay. EJ says he has a bit of a headache and tells Chad the drink is all his. Stefan interrupts and offers to get Chad a fresh one but EJ says it’s fine as he didn’t touch it. Chad then takes a drink of the drugged drink but spits it back out, noting that it was so strong and asks what he put in it. Stefan guesses it was too much of something. Chad decides he’ll get a club soda and goes to dump out the drink which he calls disgusting.

Rafe tells Gabi that they are lucky that Dr. Rolf isn’t on some DiMera Island and the judge saw that he’s a flight risk, so he denied him bail. Rafe assures Gabi that Dr. Rolf is not leaving the police station until he signs his statement. Gabi points out that his lawyer won’t let him. Rafe feels five minutes with Melinda Trask will make it clear that Dr. Rolf either flips or he’s going away for life. Gabi argues that Melinda can do that after Dr. Rolf wipes Chloe from Stefan’s mind. Rafe says Melinda is gone for the day, so it will be first thing tomorrow. Gabi cries that she needs this done today because it’s Valentine’s Day so she and Stefan need to be together. Rafe encourages her to look on the bright side as not long ago, Stefan couldn’t stand the sight of her and now he’s in love with her. Gabi continues to bring up Chloe. Rafe bets it’s temporary. Gabi asks how he knows and continues complaining about Chloe. Rafe reminds her that Stefan said many times that Gabi was the love of his life. Gabi questions why he isn’t with her then and why they are not together on Valentine’s Day. Gabi worries that Stefan wants Chloe more than her.

Sloan reminds Li that he’s told her multiple times that Gabi hates him. Li acknowledges that she has good reason to. Sloan is curious on what Li’s plan is to turn that hate back in to love.

Jada runs in to Stephanie outside the Brady Pub. They hug as Stephanie thanks her for sending flowers after Kayla’s passing and says it was so thoughtful. Stephanie says she’s been meaning to call her. Jada tells her not to worry as she knows she’s dealing with a lot. Jada asks how she and Steve are doing. Stephanie admits they are all a mess and she doesn’t know how they will get through Kayla’s funeral tomorrow. Jada assures that they are all here for her and her family, tomorrow and always. Stephanie tells her how much she appreciates that and asks how Jada is. Jada says she’s fine and just focused on work. Stephanie mentions hearing that she and Eric broke up. Jada says it’s fine and just wasn’t meant to be. Stephanie asks if Jada is still living above the Pub. Jada says she’s been so busy with work that she hasn’t been able to look for a new place. Jada adds that she and Eric seem to be on different schedules so they haven’t run in to each other much. Eric then approaches and greets them.

Brady asks Nicole again what’s going on with her and EJ. Nicole claims not to know what he means. Brady brings up that they have been married twice and now she’s living in his house, so he was curious if there’s anything romantic going on or if he’s right that she just can’t get Eric out of her head. Nicole says she has a meeting to get to and encourages Brady to hang in there as she’s sure that he and Chloe will get back together before he knows it. Nicole then quickly exits the office.

Stephanie decides she should get going. Jada tells her to call if she needs anything. Stephanie hugs Eric and says she’ll see him tomorrow as she then walks away. Jada tells Eric that she’s sorry about his mom, aunt, and stepmom. Eric thanks her and says he knows she and Kate got close. Jada talks about Kate being there for her. Eric comments that it’s nice to see she’s moved on. Jada mentions that Eric has too since she heard he’s dating Sloan Peterson.

Sloan brings up Li saying he didn’t want a divorce but he felt he had no choice and there was no way to turn this around. Sloan reminds him that she told him to think outside the box, so she assumes he took his advice with his renewed confidence. Sloan asks what his plan is. Li responds that it’s not fully formed yet so he’s open to ideas. Sloan tells him that she can handle the legal side but not the personal issues like love. Sloan states that Valentine’s Day is just another day to her. Li asks for her suggestion since he loves Gabi but she despises him. Sloan sees a man sitting in his hotel room, who is careful and deliberate. Sloan says if there’s one thing she’s learned, if you want to get anything, you have to be aggressive. Sloan advises him to stop worrying about how other people will feel about what he’s going to do and just do it. Li comments that she sounds a lot like Gabi. Li says underneath Gabi’s tough exterior, she’s a huge romantic. Sloan thinks he has found his play. Li agrees that he shouldn’t try to win Gabi back with logic, reason, or the perfect argument to change her mind and he should instead go straight for her heart.

Chad gets club soda and asks what they should toast to next. EJ proposes a toast to Chad’s new beginning with Stephanie which they drink to. Chad says he’s sorry to break up the party but he promised the kids pizza for dinner. Stefan says to send Thomas and Charlotte hugs from their uncles. Chad agrees to and wishes him luck with his situation because he’s going to need it. Chad then exits. Stefan offers EJ another drink to celebrate their victory. EJ thanks him but says he’s going upstairs to shower to try and clear his head. After EJ heads upstairs, Stefan shuts the doors. Stefan tells the portrait of Stefano and tells him that he’s not going to kill EJ, he’s just going to give him a few more doses so that he feels like going off the deep end and then he will be out at DiMera. Stefan declares that he will turn his attention to vengeance tomorrow because tonight is for love as he pulls out his phone..

Rafe reminds Gabi that Stefan said he loved her with all his heart. Gabi confirms that they kissed like they’d never been apart which is why she doesn’t understand why Valentine’s Day is almost over he hasn’t called yet. Rafe bets that Stefan is planning a special surprise for her and that her phone is going to ring any minute. Gabi’s phone then does ring which excites her, but it’s Li. Gabi answers and Li says he’s so glad she picked up. Gabi says she’s not and questions why he is calling her. Li tells her that it’s Valentine’s Day, so a husband is calling to invite his wife over for a romantic dinner. Gabi tells him that he nauseates her so the thought makes her gag. Li suggests they can discuss their divorce then. Gabi tells him there’s nothing to discuss and to just sign the papers, so she can be done with him. Gabi tells Li to lose her number and hangs up. Rafe says he’s sorry but he had a good feeling. Gabi then sees a missed call from Stefan and gets excited that he left a voicemail. Gabi plays the voicemail on speaker and listens to Stefan say it’s Valentine’s Day and he can’t stop thinking about her. Stefan asks her to come see him at the house as he’s counting the minutes until they are together again.

Eric informs Jada that he and Sloan are a casual thing. Eric asks if Jada is seeing anyone. Jada says she’s not really looking to get in to anything right now. Eric says things didn’t work out between them but he wants her to know that he thinks she’s great and whoever she chooses to be with will be a lucky person. Jada tells him to enjoy his night and heads in to the Pub. Eric then pulls out his phone.

Nicole goes to EJ’s room at the DiMera Mansion, looking for him. EJ then comes out from the shower in just a towel. Nicole says she just wanted to check on him since he seemed a little out of it at the office. EJ says he’s fine now as the shower seemed to do the trick. EJ asks if Nicole managed to shake off the last of her nasty hangover. Nicole assures it’s all done now. Nicole decides she will go but EJ reminds her that they agreed he would take her out on a proper dinner when she was feeling better. EJ asks if Nicole is up to it tonight.

Stephanie goes to see Chad at the Horton House and says she got his message, inviting her over so here she is. Chad asks if she’s okay. Stephanie admits that tomorrow is weighing on her but she’s trying not to think about it. Chad hugs her and says he’s here for anything she needs. Stephanie thanks him and says it means a lot. Chad asks if she’d rather be at her home. Stephanie assures that she’s exactly where she wants to be and she’s glad he called. Chad jokes that he was scared she got a better offer for Valentine’s Day. Stephanie asks what could be better than pizza with her new guy and his two adorable kids.

Sloan guesses Gabi is not coming over. Li confirms that she said the thought of having dinner with him makes her physically ill, but he knows underneath, her feelings for him are still there because that passion doesn’t just go away. Sloan guesses there will be no Valentine’s Day reunion then. Li guesses he’ll just waste another day here alone, unless Sloan wants to have dinner with him. Sloan admits she can’t say she’s not tempted, but then she gets a call from Eric, who asks if she has plans tonight. Sloan says possibly but Eric tells her to break those plans because he thinks they should have dinner. Sloan suggests meeting at her place in 30 minutes but Eric says he was thinking a restaurant and invites her to the Bistro. Sloan agrees to see him there and hangs up. Sloan then tells Li that she’s sorry as she has plans tonight, so Li’s going to have to eat dinner on his own. Sloan then exits the room.

Stefan sets up a candle lit dinner at the DiMera Mansion as Gabi then arrives in a red dress.

Rafe is picking up a cheeseburger at the Pub when he sees Jada having a beer, so they decide to sit together.

Nicole questions EJ wanting to go to dinner tonight, reminding him that it is Valentine’s Day. Nicole says a meal with him is kind of a big deal. EJ tells her that what happened at the office today is kind of a big deal, one they wouldn’t have closed without her. Nicole is not sure about that. EJ says he was struggling hard but Nicole came in with confidence and carried them over the finish line, so that’s an achievement worth celebrating. Nicole says that’s nice of him but points out the holiday. EJ tells her the deal was an Italian deal, so they can pretend they are in Rome where it’s February 15, a regular day with zero expectations. Nicole tells EJ to go get dressed and she will change, then they will head out.

Sloan meets Eric at the Bistro. Eric greets her and tells her she looks great as he pulls her chair out. Sloan wants to get straight that she knows it’s Valentine’s Day, but this is not a date, and she only came for the ribeye so he can get rid of the side order of romance.

Stefan tells Gabi that she looks beautiful. Stefan tells her about an opera and hearing a song in his head and heart when he looks at her. Stefan says he’s so happy that she accepted his invitation. Gabi asks why he went through all this trouble if he had any doubts. Stefan says it’s never any trouble to make the woman he loves feel special. Stefan points out that he got their favorite wine.
Gabi can’t believe he remembered. Stefan responds that he remembers everything now. Gabi says there’s nothing more she wants than for that to be true as it’s all she has wanted since he came back. Gabi talks about it not just being sex but their love and magic. Stefan then kisses Gabi.

Chad and Stephanie finish eating pizza. Chad hopes she saved room for dessert as he then calls Thomas and Charlotte in to the room. The kids reveal that they made Stephanie a cookie valentine. Chad says they had been baking all day long. Stephanie calls it so thoughtful and beautiful as she thanks them. Stephanie then informs them that she brought them a Valentine’s surprise too and gives them a box of heart candy. Thomas opens his box to give one to Stephanie. Stephanie offers to share her cookie but Thomas says they had their cookies. Thomas suggests she share her cookie with Chad.

Jada tells Rafe that it’s nice sharing a table with him. Rafe thanks her for letting him join. Rafe and Jada toast to a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Chad jokes about the kids being out like a light after their sugar cookies. Stephanie calls the cookie so special. Chad tells Stephanie how special she is and says it means a lot to her that his kids are so happy around her. Stephanie says she loves being around them too and their dad as they then kiss.

Eric tells Sloan that they don’t have to call this a date, so Sloan asks what they are going to call it. Eric suggests foreplay. EJ and Nicole then arrive at the Bistro and see them.

Brady calls Chloe, leaving another message to let her know that Nicole told him that she’s okay which he’s happy to hear and that Chloe might need some space, so he’s going to respect that and give that to her. Brady adds the he loves her and misses her very much. Brady wishes Chloe a Happy Valentine’s Day and hangs up.

Li pours himself a glass of wine while looking at the other empty glass. Li then imagines if Gabi did show up to be with him on Valentine’s Day. Li finishes his glass of wine and then pours another.

Stefan asks Gabi if they should have dinner but Gabi doesn’t want to waste another minute and suggests they go upstairs which Stefan agrees with. Gabi tells Stefan that she loves him while Stefan responds “I love you too, Chloe,” leaving Gabi confused.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: And look at that one.

[ Both laugh ] What a clever idea for a scavenger hunt. And faith just loves this. Moses knows how to keep her guessing.

Nick: The kid went all out. He’s making us old-timers look bad in the romance department.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] You know, this time last year, they both were coming to us for ideas on what to get each other. And I know you had a few romantic tricks up your sleeve back in the day. So, moses learned from the best.

Nick: He sure did.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Hey, uh, thanks for the coffee and the conversation. I got to go. Vick is beckoning me.

Sharon: Oh, okay. Well, you better get going then.

Nick: Yeah. Hey, and tell moses to lighten up. He’s, uh, making the rest of us look bad.

Sharon: [ Chuckles ] Oh. Sally. You literally just missed nick, but I can go run out and catch him.

Sharon: Uh, actually, I’d rather you didn’T.

Lily: Hi.

Daniel: Hey.

Lucy: [ Chuckles ] Are you preemptively stalking me? ‘Cause I feel like you get to places before I do.

Daniel: Yeah. No, it’s probably more like, um, great minds?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Great minds. Happy valentine’s day?

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: [ Sighs ] Happy valentine’s day.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] Well, here’s to flowers and candy and all the lucky lovers out there in the world. Hmm.

Nikki: I’m finally back. The planning committee meeting went very well tonight, and the genoa city bicentennial celebration is going to be the social event of the season. Everybody’s gonna want an invitation.

Victor: Yeah.

Nick: Darling?

Victor: What, dear?

Nikki: You seem lost in thought. What is it? Has something happened? …Will remain radioactive for years to come.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Lily: Yeah, I didn’t think that my pep talk earlier magically fixed everything for you.

Daniel: It actually did help. You know, I’m trying to look at the situation without any anger I felt towards my mother for getting involved in the first place.

Lily: That’s good. That’s good. I mean, there’s no point being angry with her. It’s not gonna solve anything.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. You know, you said earlier that there might be some angle i could work to try and get things back on track with heather and lucy. Right now, I’m just trying to stop thinking with a wounded heart, you know, pick up all the pieces of the puzzle and put them back together, but… it’s really hard to let go of the hurt.

Nick: Wow, I guess society’s going all out for valentine’s day.

Victoria: Yeah. Looks like we’re both in for a big night of romance and passion.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Hey, what’s going on with you and dad?

Victoria: I’m increasingly concerned at our father’s single-minded determination to bring adam back into the family and into the family company.

Nick: What’s he done now?

Victoria: Well, he told me that he was gonna give adam control of tucker’s empire if and when we get our hands on mccall unlimited. And he intentionally omitted that detail when he brought me on board for this takeover.

Nick: Yeah. I had a feeling dad’s plans for tucker’s company had something to do with adam. But the good news is, it doesn’t seem like dad’s looking to give adam your job. Look, if he’s gonna run tucker’s company, who cares? Doesn’t affect us whatsoever. It gives our brother something to focus on other than us.

Victoria: And sally, right?

Sally: Thank you for offering to track him down, but nick and I were together earlier, and I’m trying to keep this relationship from becoming all-consuming.

Sharon: I understand.

Sally: Yeah. I was just feeling a little restless, and I thought maybe some crisp night air and a hot tea might calm my nerves.

Sharon: So, what’s got your nerves so on edge?

Sally: It’s just that everything seems a little up in the air for me right now. Chloe and I have a chance of securing chancellor-winters for our new company as our first client. Jill seems interested, but that’s mainly thanks to nick.

Sharon: Oh. What did nick do?

Sally: He helped jill with some concerns that she had about my past, but he’s encouraging her to see that I’ve turned over a new leaf.

Sharon: And how are things between you and nick now?

Sally: Things are really good.

Sharon: Well, I’m really happy to hear that because that’s exactly what nick deserves — true, uncomplicated, stress-free happiness.

Sally: I really admire how close you guys have remained over, you know, the last few years. It’s rare between exes.

Sharon: Well, there’s no grand secret or magic behind it. We share children together. That’s a large part of it.

Sally: Yeah. I think it’s deeper than that. I mean, it’s pretty clear how close you two are. And, I mean, I’ve learned enough about your history to know some of what you guys have been through.

Sharon: Is there something that you want to ask me?

Sally: [ Sighs ] What happened? Why didn’t it last?

In a world, where dry

eye symptoms…

Lily: You know what I think you should do? I think you should take a step back. You’re getting too lost in your emotions.

Daniel: Hmm. Any advice on how to do that?

Lily: I mean, think about the times in your life when things seemed hopeless and you found a way out.

Daniel: I gotta get out of here before it’s too late. I gotta get far away. You know, maybe I can go see my dad in europe or something, or — or maybe I can go to africa or — I don’t know — india, anyplace, anyplace that these people can’t get to me.

Lily: I’ll go with you.

[ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know why I just said that.

Daniel: Maybe because you’re a real friend.

Lily: I care about what happens to you.

Daniel: You don’t know how much that means to me, hearing that someone else cares.

Lily: I just wish that there was something I could do that — that is real to help you.

Daniel: Your hand touching my hand — that’s real. That’s real, and — and if i have to go away to prison or i have to run away from here… I’m gonna remember this moment right here, how this feels, you holding my hand.

Lily: Everything’s gonna be fine. You are going to get through this, I promise.

Daniel: I wish that I could believe you, but I just feel like my life is over.

Lily: No, that’s not true. It’s not. It’s not true. I don’t know how… but somehow I’ll help you.

Daniel: [ Exhales sharply ] You know, you were the one that got me through some of my darkest times.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: The problem is that victoria cannot — she doesn’t understand my vision for the family. She doesn’t understand what i want to do with adam. I so want them to get along. I want my family to get along. Okay? And she cannot look beyond her own animosity towards him. It really — it upsets me to know that my children are at odds with each other all the time.

Nikki: Darling, I think perhaps you have misinterpreted the issues between those two.

Victor: Well, in what way?

Nikki: Victoria is not threatened by adam. She is wary of all the chaos he creates — for very good reason. From the first day he arrived in genoa city, he has done nothing but jump from one desperate situation to the next. He has proven that he can’t go very long without creating some kind of drama.

Victor: Okay, but — but I’m now trying to put a stop to all that.

Sharon: Well, victoria is very protective of newman’s success.

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: The legacy that you created, the legacy that she was groomed to honor.

Victor: Okay, and she’s doing a damn good job of it.

Nikki: Exactly. So, since she is the head of the company, it is up to adam to win

her over, not the other way around. He has to prove to her that he can put the company and the family above his personal grievances. But, frankly, I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Sally: I’m sorry. I know what happened between you and nick in the past is none of my business. I cannot believe I even asked.

[ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Relax. I don’t mind talking about it, if you really want to know. Nick and I have made peace with our history, and I suppose we’re fairly open about it.

Sally: Well, I have to admit, I am curious.

Sharon: Well, nick was my first true love. And I was his. We met when we were teenagers, and from the start, we faced a lot of challenges. We struggled through more than any young couple should have to endure. But we were forced to grow up a lot together. And we had to learn the skills of forgiveness, patience, and understanding. And that’s the reason why our bond is still so close today.

Nick: Look, I already told you this. We’re not talking about sally. I’m out of here.

Victoria: No, no, no, wait! Sit back down. I promise I won’t say anything about her.

Nick: Well, that was easy.

Victoria: I am giving you, my dear brother, the gift of privacy in your love life on valentine’s day. Happy valentine’s day.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Back at you.

Victoria: Besides, I’ve learned the hard way to not keep touching the hot stove. And who am I to talk after my latest romantic entanglement? You were the only person who stayed with me through that whole disastrous time. And even though you didn’t agree with my choice, you had my back. I want to do the same thing for you.

Nick: Thanks, vick. Your support is exactly what i need right now.

Victoria: So just know if — if there’s anything that you need to share or if you need help with anything, you can come to me. But I know that it has to be your decision, of course. So I’m not gonna push. I’m not gonna prod you for any information.

Nick: Sally’s pregnant. Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Victor: Being a parent never gets any easier, does it? There’s always worry. There’s always frustration, you know?

Nikki: Well, I guess every child comes with their own set of unique challenges. But I think we’ve done pretty good with our kids…

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: …Despite all of the trials and tribulations over the years.

Victor: That is because we have had each other’s back, okay? Ours is the kind of love that they write poems about and sonnets about. What?

Nikki: On that note, there’s something I want to show you.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: I found this when i was going through some old photos and papers the other day. It’s one of the very first valentine’s day cards you ever gave me.

Victor: Really?

Nikki: I — I just came across it after all these years.

Daniel: You know, a lot of magic came out of all those hard times we were going through back then.

Lily: Yeah. But it wasn’t all hard for us.

Lily: Hey, guys, smoothest smoothies on the beach.

Daniel: What’s up, guys? Smoothest smoothies.

Lily: Hey, smoothest smoothies on the beach! Our smoothies are smooth.

Daniel: Get your smoothie!

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: We had a lot of good times together, didn’t we?

Lily: Yeah, we did. I mean, I wish it were all fun and games. Unfortunately, it wasn’T. But I think what came out of that was a strong and unrelenting love and support for each other.

Lily: Uh, what are you doing here?

Daniel: I thought you could use a friend.

Lily: Well, it seems like I’m not the only one. You want to talk about it?

Daniel: [ Sighs ] You got enough problems. You don’t need to hear mine.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] No. Please tell me. It will help take my mind off my own. Besides, I would like to help if I can.

Daniel: I know where — where daisy — I know where my baby is.

Lily: And now look at us. We’re still friends. We’re working together.

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

Lily: I mean, some of our best memories got me through some really, really tough times.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, we’ve had a major impact on each other.

Lily: Mm-hmm. I don’t think I told you this, but you’re a big part of why i am who I am today. Our friendship has definitely been an anchor for me.

Daniel: Yeah, I can’t take all the credit for that.

Lily: No. It’s true. What do you mean? You’re a great friend. You’re a great dad. You are. And I really believe that you have so many years of love and happiness to look forward to with your family.

Daniel: Well, I wish I could be sure about that.

Sally: Well, I knew you and nick had a long history together, but I guess I never realized how deep it actually went. No wonder you’re so protective of him. You probably think I’m not good enough.

Sharon: You know, nick and i have always been a great support system for each other. He was even my late husband’s best man in our wedding, and he was the one who stood unrelentingly by my side as i grieved for his death. And I don’t know how I would have gotten through any of that without him. So, yes, I guess I am very protective of him.

Sally: I get it.

Sharon: And I look at you, sally, and I see, you know, that spark, that fire in you. And from what I know about your past, I initially thought that you and adam were a perfect match, but now I see someone who has apparently learned from her mistakes. And I have to give you credit for trying to do better.

Sally: Well, thank you.

Sharon: All of that is so important and so admirable. I know that finding and bringing out the strengths in someone is one of nick’s strong suits. But I know that he can be kind of impulsive when it comes to romance. I’m not saying that to be discouraging. It’s just a fact to consider.

Victoria: You’re going to be a father again?

Nick: Or an uncle.

Victoria: Adam?

Nick: She and, uh, adam got together a couple months ago. It was like one last fling to see if there were any sparks left. Technically, she didn’t cheat on me. You know, everything was in flux with our relationship and then also her and adam’s, and… it just happened.

Victoria: And then what?

Nick: It was the end of their relationship. To sally’s credit, she was completely honest with me. Then when she definitively ended things with adam, I just — I just let it go. But then this happened.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Nick: Honestly, no, I cannot stand the idea of this baby being adam’S. It’s like sage and christian all over again. I guess this time I at least knew it from the beginning.

Victoria: Well, tell me something. Is this baby’s paternity a deal maker or a deal breaker? How do you really feel about sally? Unless you treat dandruff regularly,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nick: Honestly, I’m not sure. I mean, with everything that’s going on, she is an element in my life that makes me smile all day long.

Victoria: And you felt that way before you found out about sally’s pregnancy and the paternity issue?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, I was getting very fired up about what was growing between us, you know? It was refreshing and different.

Victoria: Well, clearly you — you feel very deeply for her.

Nick: I really do. And with a baby on the way, i can’t help but feel even more invested.

Victoria: Will that hold true even if the baby’s not yours?

Sally: Well, I know that even after everything the two of you have been through, nick kept coming back to you.

Sharon: Yes. Um, nick and I did reunite a few times over the years. But if you’re worried that that will happen again, you shouldn’t be. Nick and I are in different places now.

Sally: How so?

Nick: Well, I guess I’m ready for a journey of self-discovery. I think I’ve been building towards that since i successfully battled cancer.

Sally: And nick stood by you through all that, too, didn’t he?

Sharon: Nick was part of a wonderful support team that included rey and mariah and faith and several other people. But now I have to wonder — what is it you’re really trying to find out? Are you looking for some kind of confirmation that nick will stand by you in sickness and in health? Are you facing some kind of medical problem?

Sally: No, I’M… I’m not sick. I’m pregnant.

Victor: I remember this card. All I wanted you to know was how much I loved you.

Nikki: Well, that card said it all. And it’s really stood the test of time. The words resonate just as they did then.

Victor: I adore you. And I always knew that we would defy the odds, you know?

Nikki: Oh, yeah?

Victor: Yeah.

Nikki: Well, I seem to remember both of us having eyes for others from time to time.

Victor: Well, stuff happens, you know?

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: That didn’t make any difference to me. I knew my heart belonged to you. I always did.

Nikki: And this is where we have always belonged.

Nikki: We belong to each other, and no one and nothing can change that.

Nikki: Well, I’m not leaving.

Victor: You must leave.

Nikki: I have no place to go. There’s no place I want to go.

[ Inhales sharply ] I love you. And I’m never, ever leaving you again.

Victor: Some people think it’s our destiny to be together.

Nikki: I’ve heard that.

Victor: I shall cherish every day we have together. I shall try to surprise you every day…

Nikki: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: …And express my commitment to you over and over. I shall love you with body, mind, and soul, yesterday, today…for all times.

Nikki: I have lived the most incredible life.

Victor: Come home with me. There’s more to come, you know.

Nikki: Oh, victor. More surprises?

Victor: Sempre, amore mio.

Lily: Look, whatever I can do to help, whatever you need to help get your family back, I am here for you, okay?

Daniel: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Honestly, ’cause I want you to be happy.

Daniel: Thank you. It really does mean a lot to me. Mnh. Oh, my god. I feel like it’s getting colder than it was before. We should, uh, probably get back indoors where it’s warm.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: Um…thank you again, you know, for being here for me. You really are the best.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: [ Sighs ] Whew. Let’s do this. Lily, you coming?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I’m right behind you. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

Victor: No matter how hard times were sometimes, we’ve always found our way back to each other, my beautiful, strong, independent, adorable wife.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: So… this is to… remind you that, no matter what, I didn’t want this day to go by without telling you how much i adore you.

Nikki: Thank you. “To my darling — you are much more than my wife. You’re the light of my life. What would I do without you by my side? Even after all these years, you still manage to take my breath away. I love you. Happy valentine’s day.” Thank you so much, darling.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. Victor, what have you done? Oh, my god.

Victor: I’ll put it on you. There we go. There we go.

Nikki: [ Laughs ]

Victor: There we go.

Nikki: Ah.

Victor: There we go.

Nikki: Victor.

[ Sighs ]

Victor: There we go.

Nikki: You didn’t have to do that.

Victor: That’s the one to replace the one that they stole from me in chicago, you know.

Nikki: Oh, but you know we’re eventually gonna get that one back from the police.

Victor: Baby, let it stay in chicago. I want you to wear this here, you know? I want you to be reminded of how much I love you.

Nikki: I love you so much. Thank you.

Nick: If the baby isn’t mine, I don’t know what’s gonna happen. All I can tell you is my feelings for sally haven’t changed.

Victoria: I hope she realizes how lucky she’d be to have you as the father of her child. I am so proud of the compassionate and wise and caring person that you’ve become. I expect nothing less from you, even in the midst of this new relationship and this potentially growing family.

Nick: Thanks, vick. Your support means everything to me.

Victoria: So, what’s next? Have you decided how you’re gonna handle the results of the paternity, either way?

Nick: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I’m just taking things one day at a time. I’ll figure it all out.

Victoria: I know I’m your older sister, but over the years, more often than not, you’ve been there for me. You’ve always had my back. You’ve always looked out for me. I’d like to do the same thing for you, nicholas. I’d like to be able to say to you that I’m happy you’re happy.

Nick: Then just say it.

Victoria: But would it be true? I meanI don’t nt tup nick to feel t

Sharon: Well, I don’t thinkt you need to worry about that with him. You can always count on nick to do the right thing willingly, happily. He loves being a father. It’s a trait that all the newman men have, even though I know that victor doesn’t show it very conventionally sometimes.

Sally: Yeah. I’ve noticed.

Sharon: But I don’t think you need to worry, you know, um, as far as nick goes. With nick as your baby’s father, you two will be in good hands, regardless of what the future holds for the two of you romantically.

Sally: Yeah. No, I know you’re right. I know the newman men tend to be very caring and involved fathers, but not all of them are great partners. And that makes all of this even worse.

Sharon: Well, I can understand how frightened you must be. But nick is the best partner anyone could have on this journey. This will be a newman baby, right? But there’s a chance the newman father isn’t nick.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Sharon: So, this baby is adam’s, not nick’s?

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam could be the father, but it’s not likely at all. Um, nick knows. Adam’s does not. We will find out the answer very shortly. So, if you could just keep this to yourself, at least until then.

[ Sighs ] I’m really sorry that I — I burdened you with this. I should not have told you.

Sharon: Sally, wait. There’s no judgment here. And your secret is safe with me.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I know how close you are with both nick and adam. So I’m sure this is awkward. And I’m really sorry for putting you in this position.

Sharon: Well, as promised, no judgment. You can trust me.

Nick: Even with all the questions surrounding this situation, vick, I’m very happy, happier than I’ve been in a long time.

Victoria: Alright. Well, then I’m happy for you.

Nick: Thanks. So, here’s the deal. The only people who know about this are now you, me and sally, chloe, and her doctor. So, if you tell mom or dad —

Victoria: Oh, no, you have my complete discretion. I promise. I have your back. I won’t let dad’s obsession with sally or this paternity mess with adam create a new and deeper rift in our family.

Nick: Well, that will only happen if we let it. So we don’t let it.

Daniel: Heather.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

so before we get this ball rolling, I must ask a question that we all know the answer to already, but I’m gonna ask it anyway. Can anyone here show just cause why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony? Speak now or forever hold your peace.

[ Laughter ] Tell curtis that trina might be his daughter. If you do it now before the wedding, it gives you a fighting chance. But if curtis finds out later on his own, you’ll lose him, portia, just like I did. “Speak every man truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.” How long have you known? I don’t know anything for sure. But you suspect. Yes. Curtis and portia’s affair would line up with how old trina is.

[ Knock on door ] Evening, grandpa. Know what day it is? Does it matter? They’re all the same in this hellhole. Of course it matters. It’s only the most romantic day of the year. Happy valentine’s from meemaw. But don’t worry. That’s not your only gift. Chocolate-covered strawberries? Oh, no. Something much sweeter. A way out of here for the four of us. Well, at least there weren’t any cows this time.

[ Chuckles ] It was definitely an improvement from the ride to the b&B. It was. We just got to keep you on the left side of the road. You mean the wrong side of the road. Not in england. I haven’t noticed that you have offered to drive yet. Cause I haven’T. You noticed that? Yeah? Then why don’t you keep your mouth zipped, falconeri? Alright, fair enough. Well… so, do you think this is the place? Well, it’s worth a shot, right? What if maggie isn’t even a drinker? Then hopefully someone who knows her is a drinker. Let’s go.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] Welcome. Can I help you? Uh, yeah, we’re counting on it. Silence.

[ Chuckles ] That’s what we like to hear — or not hear, as the case may be. Now, as per tradition, I will pose the same question to you. Curtis, portia, do either of you know of any reason why you should not be joined in holy matrimony? More silence. Okay. Um, let’s get these two hitched. Man: Whoo-hoo!

[ Light laughter ]

Will you, portia,take curtis as your husband, to love, comfort, and honor him, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, as long as you both shall live?

[ Sniffles ] I will. And will you, curtis, take portia as your wife, to love, comfort, and honor her, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live? I will. And to the family and friends, will you promise to do your best to support portia and curtis in their new union? Together: We will. Yes, we will! You hear that? Surrounded by love and support. You’re truly blessed. Warning — what I have might be contagious. Diagnosis? Very bad case of second-guessing myself. Mm. Well, I think I’ll take the risk. I see someone’s been drawing comfort from the good book. Trying to, anyway. Not much success. I just hate all these unanswered questions. Such as? Am I doing the right thing staying away from the wedding? Or is hiding out here just plain cowardly? Okay, well, stella henry is no coward. You love your nephew and you want him to be happy. Two things we have in common. I made it by myself in arts and crafts. They wouldn’t let me use scissors, of course, so I… had to improvise.

[ Laughs ] Oh, you’re all heart. Don’t you forget it. You’re gonna owe me huge when we blow this joint. Speaking of “we,” who’s the fourth?

[ Scoffs ] Esme’s baby. Duh. You’re really gonna have to work on your grandfathering skills when we hit the road. We’ll have plenty of time for that. Sounds like you have it all figured out. Down to the very last detail. And our daughter’s on board? You know, you never even mentioned how beautiful the d– esme doesn’t know… does she? Two of your finest ales, please. Well, that’s a matter of opinion, isn’t it? Uh, yeah. Sure is. Yours. Alright, then. Two of my favorite ales… okay. …Coming right up. -Excellent. -Thank you. So, what brings you to my little village? Certainly not on any of those fancy tourist sites. No, actually, we are drawn to, like, out-of-the-way places, the kind of towns you can get lost in. Oh. Mm. Well, then you’ve come to the right spot. Hmm. Wow. That was fast. Thank you. Yes, cheers. Cheers, baby. Mm-hmm. Mmm. Oh, that’s great. That is delicious. I’m glad you like it. Yeah. Is there anything else I can help you with? Uh, you know, now that you’ve asked, uh, we’re — we’re looking to find a friend of a friend. Mm-hmm. Well, that might be easier to do if this friend of a friend had a name. Oh, uh, yeah, uh, maggie. Maggie fitzgerald. Curtis and portia would like to say a few words to each other. Curtis, why don’t you start? My love…

[ Sighs ] It’s been a long and winding road with us. First we were together. And then we were apart. Thankfully, now we’re back together. And I don’t doubt that that journey took a toll on us and others. But some of those others have blessed us. And for that, I’m eternally grateful. What I’ve learned about love, it ain’t always pretty. Certainly not easy, but nothing worth having ever is. But this… honey, this is everything. Portia, I vow to love you with all my heart, to give you all I have and all I am to make our lives and the lives of the people we treasure… …better.

[ Chuckles ] This is my vow to you. Laura: Portia? You’re up.

You mentioned a long and winding road. I know it well. I thought that I would be traveling that road with my daughter. And she and my work was all that I would ever need.

[ Voice breaking ] And I was fine with that. But then you came back into my life. And you literally saved my life. And trina’S. And all of a sudden, I-I-I couldn’t imagine a world without you in it. Honey, your courage, your kindness, your conviction, all of it, it — it literally leaves me breathless. No one can make me laugh like you do. Or cry like you do. Hey.

[ Laughs ] No, it’s in a good way.

[ Laughs ] It’s in the best possible way.

[ Exhales shakily ] You just make me want to do and be better. And you have no idea how thankful I am to you for that. Honey, you’re a part of me. And I can’t imagine a world… without you in it. And, um… that’s, um… um… th-that’s why I, um… um… uh… baby, what is it? Uh…

[ Chuckles nervously ] It just feels like we’re damned if we do and we’re damned if we don’T. And I’m terrified that no matter how this plays out, curtis’s heart is gonna be broken either way. Maybe temporarily. But you’re forgetting that curtis loves trina. ‘Course, he might be shocked if it turns out that she’s his daughter. But once that settles — you know your nephew — he’ll be thrilled. Yes, but that blessing comes with a price. He’ll realize that portia’s been lying to him about the possibility for decades. A possibility she didn’t want to face. Portia was looking out for taggert. The man adores trina and has been an amazing father to her. I understand that. Telling the truth had the potential to upend a lot of lives. And then once curtis and portia got back together, trina was going through so much. But m-maybe it wasn’t time then. But — but once they set a date, o-once they decided to join their lives together and — and become a family? I keep praying about this, jordan. But heaven help me, I do not know if prayer is enough. Qu ite the handy one-handed man,aren’t you?

[ Laughs ] Esme will be told when the time is right. Now, can we please just leave the family spats for the road trip? Road trip? Did I stutter? Every law enforcement agency from here to alaska will be looking for us. Yeah, but they’ll be looking for three escaped fugitives, not a happy family cruising in an rv, listening to the radio. Can you picture it? No. Why are you being so negative? Because esme has kind of outgrown a baby seat. Oh. We’ll be needing one of those for the rv. She’s an adult pregnant woman who’s lost her memory. Do you really think she’s gonna let you throw her into the back of an rv? Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. You’re the one who said I’ve already got it all figured out. Then tell me the plan. You can’t be too careful, especially with that detective and his girlfriend trying to track down esme’s nanny. In your condition, I doubt you’re gonna be the one doing the driving. So why don’t you just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride? Maggie fitzpatrick, did you say? No, fitzgerald, and we are — we’re — we’re not here to make trouble for her. No, in fact, just the opposite. We’re trying to find someone she was close to. Maggie was this person’s nanny. Yeah, there was a family in london that she used to work for, and they said that she moved to this village. I do recall a woman who said she once worked as a nanny, but she didn’t call herself maggie. Oh, what was the name? Ah, yes. Marjorie. Do you — do you know where to find her? Oh, not a clue. Marjorie only came here for trivia night on thursdays. You must be awesome at that.

[ Laughing ] Oh, no. I’m awful at trivia. But marjorie was fantastic. A walking encyclopedia, really. But then she stopped showing up, so we figured she’d moved on. Well, maybe she left a clue to where she was going and you didn’t even notice it. Please, this is really important to us that we find her. Why? Because a woman that she once cared for — esme — is in trouble. Esme? Uh, yeah. Esme prince is her name. Did maggie — or, um, marjorie ever mention her? Portia? It’s okay. I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I-it’s just hitting me all over again that I’m not just marrying you. I am marrying you and your beautiful family. Now they’re your family, too. And mine is yours. And that road of ours, it does not stop here. We travel it, all of us, together. Together.

[ Sighs ] With this ring, I pledge to love you today… tomorrow [Sighs] And always.

[ Chuckles ] With this ring, I pledge all my love. And like this ring has no end, neither does my love for you. Laura: With vows and rings, you have given yourselves to each other. Therefore, by the power vested in me by the state of new york — and with the blessing of all your family and friends — I pronounce you husband and wife. You know what to do.

[ Laughter ] Oh, I certainly do.

[ Cheers and applause ] Oh. Um, I almost forgot. Your valentine’s present. Go on, take it. What’s the catch?

[ Scoffs ] Are you always this suspicious? Yes.

[ Sighs ] It’s my valentine’s gift to you. But just remember, you got to keep it hidden before the big escape. You do recall that I’m supposed to be in a fugue state, unable to speak or move, let alone wield a weapon. But that’s only till we get to the gate. Once we’re outside those walls, you can be your old self again. But if something goes wrong, then I’m caught holding a knife. And you’re caught holding esme’s hand and claiming that I hijacked you. I mean… everyone needs a backup plan, right? Marjorie never talked about her charges. Are you — are you positive? Why so invested in this esme person? She’s in, uh, uh, quite a bit of trouble back in the states. What kind of trouble? The kind that maggie would probably be the key to getting her out of. You know what? Um, look. Look, I-I get it. We showed up out of nowhere. You have absolutely no reason to trust us. But if maggie knew what esme was going through, she would — she would want to help. You sure there’s nothing you can tell us?

[ Piano music playing, indistinct conversations ] Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the newlyweds, portia and curtis ashford!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Slow music plays ]

[ Mid-tempo music plays ] Tender and soft as the wind now you’re drifting through my soul there is no one here but the two of us alone gently your words calm my heart to a softer shade of red you touch me with your whisper you make me feel so breathless

Have I told you how much I love you? Portia: Yes. [ Chuckles ]

By your heart have I told you how excited I am to start our lives together? Yes, baby, you have.

[ Chuckles ] Okay.

[ Chuckles ] Am I doing too much? You want me to stop? Never.

I’m breathless I’ve never seen my mom so happy. Well. Those vows. Maybe true love does exist. Yeah. Maybe it does. Everything looks gorgeous, especially the co-owner of the venue. How you holding up? I’m okay. Yeah? Yeah, I’m just, you know — I’m thinking about willow and imagining dancing at her wedding. There still might be a chance of that, so we can’t lose hope. Yeah. Somebody pinch me.

I’m breathless that seals it. I’m awake. I’ve lived long enough to see my son get married.

[ Chuckles ] Uncle curtis looks like he’s on cloud nine. Yeah, and my sister looks stunned. Molly: I know. It’s like she can’t believe the wedding actually happened. Oh. It happened. Those two are destined for a lifetime of bliss. Oh. Thank you. You’re welcome. Watching them, it seems so simple, doesn’t it? Maybe it is. Maybe people just… tend to overcomplicate things. “People”? Yeah. People. To life getting simpler one day. I will definitely cheers to that.

[ Cheers and applause ] Sir, I believe there’s a tradition to uphold. Indeed there is. And I would love to dance with my little girl. I would love it, too, daddy.

[ Both laugh ] Man: How about a dance?

[ Applause ] We love you!

[ Laughter ] It looks like they’re doing the daughter/daddy thing. Should we show ’em what we got? Lead the way.

You know I love you drew: Alright. Looks like we’ve got a father/daughter duo on the dance floor. Everybody, a round of applause for the bride, her father, sterling, as well as the daughter of the bride and her father, marcus. Beautiful.

[ Applause ]

This is true you’re actually making yourself sick over this. It’s just something I take for my blood pressure. Don’t worry. My cardiologist assured me that I’ll outlive all y’all. Hmph. You’d better. ‘Cause in case you didn’t know it, you are indispensable. Cemetery’s full of indispensable people. Let’s talk about something else. Okay. Like what? Oh, have you forgotten what day it is? Enough about curtis’ love life. What’s going on with yours? All you have to do is stay in that chair, look as vacant as the bates motel, and I’ll have you and our daughter out of here and on our way to our new life before the guards even have a chance to realize we’re gone. Ohh. I get misty-eyed just… thinking about it. After all this time, together again — a real, all-american family. It sounds promising. It’s more than promising. It’s a sure thing! Except you’re not accounting for one potential glitch. No glitch. This plan is glitch-free. What if esme refuses to come with us? I mean no offense, but as you pointed out, I’ve never laid eyes on you until tonight. How do I know you’re not the reason that poor girl’s in trouble? You know what? You don’T. Yeah. Unfortunately, you just have to trust us. Maggie fitzgerald was the closest thing that esme had to a friend, and maybe she could tell us something about her family, if she had a mother or a father. Basically, people who would do anything for her. Anything. And we mean anything. I wish I could help you. I truly do. Marjorie could name all of the spice girls faster than lightning. Mel b, mel c, victoria, emma, and geri. That’s impressive. Wow. But I never heard her mention an esme prince.

Always in my heart do you mind if I cut in? Well, now that you’re officially the stepfather, I think it’s only fair. Thanks for the dance. Thank you.

I will stand by you precious cargo. Don’t I know. You look lovely. Thank you.

Turn me away from you so how do you feel? Ooh. Let’s see. Um… mostly elated and grateful, of course, for your beautiful mother… and for absolutely everyone here.

I’ll be by your side but a large piece of that is reserved for you.

Day or night, I’ll comfort you portia. Honey, what’s wrong?

Nothing’s wrong, daddy. Are you sure? I’m just — I’m just getting emotional. That’s all. Okay. The happiest day of your life can do that.

[ Both chuckle ] You know what? We used to be good at at. What? Dancing? Yeah, remember when I used to spin you around at the tan-o and…? Yes, I do. Let’s give it another shot. I know — look, I know it’s hard to have fun with what’s going on with willow and michael and everything. But we got to live life… or what’s the point?

[ Chuckles ] You guys don’t have to babysit me. Go. Dance. Have fun. You might consider taking your own advice. The dance floor is calling. I’m more of an innocent bystander myself than a dancer, so… what he said. Suit yourselves.

[ Glasses clink ] What are you waiting for? Look, I still don’t think you’re good enough for trina.

[ Chuckles ] But… it’s up for her to decide, not me. Just like it’s not up to you to decide who I spend my time with. Got it? Got it. Thank you.

[ Clears throat ] Hey. Hey. Do you have one more in you? Dance, I mean. With you? Yeah, I don’t see anyone else here.

[ Chuckles ] I just — I just thought we wouldn’t pretend to be friends in public anymore. Ohh. I was never pretending. Please tell me you’re not thinking of playing matchmaker. Ohh. Heaven forbid. Look at the mess I made of curtis’ love like. Eh, you’re not to blame for what happened to our marriage. Well, I certainly didn’t help. Then after getting all aflutter about his relationship with portia… eh, she’s good people, stella.

[ Scoffs ] She is! If only portia had been upfront from the start, they could have found out for sure if curtis is or isn’t trina’s father. Yeah, now it’s too late — not to find out, of course, but for it to come out with minimal damage. I see what you’re doing. We were talking about your love life. No, no.

You were talking about it. Message received. I can’t meddle in curtis’ business. I will not be meddling in yours. Well, it’s like the good book says. Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.” “Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:34. That matthew. He really knew what was up.

[ Chuckles ] He most certainly did. I hate that stella’s missing this. Yeah. Your stepdad seemed pretty bummed about it, too. Wow. That’s so weird to say out loud. Hm? My stepdad. Oh. Curtis is hiding it well, but… I know it’s killing him that stella isn’t here. I know that look. What are you thinking? I’m thinking that it’s wrong that stella’s sitting in her hotel room. Sick or not, she needs to be at this wedding. I’ve been earning esme’s trust ever since she was brought here. Poor thing. She has no one else she can count on. Especially that supposed baby daddy of hers. All he ever did was dump a bunch of papers in her lap and tell her to sign away all her rights. Give me five minutes with that “prince,” and I swear I’ll eviscerate him. Spoken like a true and loving father. For now, just be patient. Let mama take care of everything. And once we’re on the other side of those walls, no one will ever hurt our baby girl again. Well, uh, get out of your hair. Thank you for the beer. Thank you for the generous tip. Yeah, we’ll be staying at mrs. Bletchly’s b&b, so if you can think of anything about maggie that could help us locate her, it’d be fantastic. I’ll make sure to reach out. And in the meantime, you’re welcome here any time. Thank you. Thank you. Have a good night. You, as well.

[ Door opens ] So, uh, what do you think? Same as you. She’s lying through her teeth.

Was a little too friendly, don’t you think? And then she contradicted her, too. She said she didn’t know anything about trivia, and then… and then she rattles off all the names of the spice girls without missing a beat? Yeah. I’m sorry, but that woman knows a lot more than what she’s saying, and it’s not just about trivia. Okay. So, uh… let’s say — what if she was lying? She was. Okay. So what’s the next obvious question? Why? Oh. Esme. I warned you not to go and look up your father. What have you gotten yourself into now? So, you’re on board? I have a choice? Not so much. Once the stars are aligned and esme is with us, we’ll make our escape. It’ll all happen so fast, you won’t even have time to object. Still, no plan is foolproof. So, what if we happen to encounter an unforeseen complication? Then you’ll be the solution. Happy valentine’s day.

[ Chuckles ] Let me throw in just one little wrinkle to the itinerary. I got to hear it first. I just need to make one stop before we take off. I don’t know. What — what more can I say about my friend curtis? Uh, probably a lot. Oh, wow. A lot. That’s a lot of pressure, huh? Marshall: That’s my son. Yeah. How about this? How about — the quality that stands out the most to me when I think of you, when I think of this man — and laura touched on this a little bit during the ceremony — is loyalty. This man right here, he would lay down his life for those that he cares about. And I want you to know that I consider myself very, very lucky to be among them. Curtis and portia… I’m so happy for you guys. I’m j– I can’t wait to see the life that you build together. You’re beautiful inside and out. We all love you, right? -Oh, yeah. -Right. -Oh, yeah. To the best of the best, everybody! Congratulations, curtis and portia!

[ Laughter ] All: To the best of the best!

[ Laughter ] Hmm. Drew! Oh, yeah. Thank you so much. That was perfect, man. We love you, brother. I love you, too, man. I meant every single word. Okay, everybody, don’t go anywhere… ’cause it is the maid of honor’s turn now. Right? -Trina? -Uh-oh. Trina robinson, show yourself. Man: We’re in trouble now. Maybe she’s fixing up her makeup. Where is trina? I know she was excited to give the toast. Where could she be?

[ Knock on door ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I came here to be thomas’s witness. I never expected this.

Hope: You never expected my son to choose you as his guardian?

Steffy: He isn’t choosing me, hope.

Hope: He was supposed to– to pick someone to live with, either his father or me. You weren’t supposed to be an option.

Steffy: I am just as shocked as you are. But what do you want me to do? Do you want me to reject him?

Hope: Steffy, please. Mother to mother, he’s our child and we need him home with us. His sister needs him.

Steffy: Look, I understand that you’re upset, but my main focus is the well-being of my nephew.

Li: Kelly’s still working on her big project.

Finn: The one she and douglas are doing together?

Li: Mm-hmm.

Finn: It’s– it’s pretty fun having all the kids here. I mean, when it’s our time with kelly, I mean, she’s– she loves having her cousin over.

Li: Douglas is a sweet, patient young man.

Finn: Oh, and a good role model. He and kelly have gotten pretty close these past few months.

Katie: Oh god, katie. Really? All right.

Carter: Oh, I didn’t mean to.

[ Katie squealing]

Katie: I– I thought I locked that door.

Carter: You know, I’ll come back. I’ll come back.

Katie: No, no, no, no. That’s okay. I’m not shy. And besides, you know, turnabout as fair play, how many times have I walked in on you half-naked?

Carter: You trying to be like me now?

Katie: Well, you’re not the only one who works out, you know?

Carter: Yeah, I can see that. So beautiful. Very beautiful.

Carter: So how was your workout?

Katie: Not as good as that kiss. I got outta the shower and I realized that I had left my clothing here. I was really hoping that an hour in the gym might clear my mind.

Carter: Yeah, there’s been a lot going on lately. All that bill, sheila drama.

Katie: Yes. Well, not just that. Brooke told me that hope and thomas are meeting with the judge today.

Carter: About douglas’ guardianship?

Katie: Mm-hmm. Apparently, they are letting douglas choose who he wants to live with.

Carter: That’s huge.

Katie: Yeah. And I just hope for his sake that he chooses to live with hope and liam.

Li: Of course, douglas likes it here. He’s got the ocean. His cousins, kelly and hayes.

Finn: It’s the greatest candy drawer in town. Douglas is a special kid.

Li: Mm.

Finn: I mean, he’s just, he’s gone through so much with caroline dying and thomas being his father.

Li: Bet it makes you appreciate even more the little sweet family you have with steffy.

Hope: You said you think it’s best if douglas stays with you and finn for a while. Do you really believe that?

Judge: All right, folks. I have given you time to discuss, come to terms with the decision, but I have a full daca today. So, this concludes our meeting. Douglas has made his statement.

Hope: But your honor–

Thomas: Yes, steffy and finn weren’t even an option.

Judge: But you agreed upon this process that douglas has the final say. He clearly has chosen to live with his aunt steffy. So, I trust you will figure out how to make this work, or I will have to see you all once again. Excuse me.

Douglas: So, is it okay, aunt steffy? Can I come live with you and finn?

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Carter: Next time, we’re going at it in the gym. You and me.

Katie: Carter! Bad!

Carter: I’m talking about working out.

Katie: Oh, well that would be great, but um, I think it would be a miracle if our schedules actually lined up.

Carter: I’ve been known to work miracles before.

Katie: Have you?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Katie: Mm. Oh, hopefully, we don’t need a miracle today. And douglas will do the wise thing and stay with hope.

Carter: I can’t imagine him choosing anyone else.

Katie: I can’t imagine it either. I have a feeling this is gonna be a huge setback for thomas.

Carter: Yeah. You’re probably right.

Katie: Maybe it’s a good thing steffy is there as his witness. Because he might need his sister when douglas makes his decision.

Finn: Our life is perfect the way it is. I mean, I honestly wouldn’t wanna change a thing.

Li: You found the right balance.

Finn: Yeah. Kelly and hayes, they’re the driving force and they’re the center of all we do. I mean, every decision we make. Nothing fills me up more than watching those two grow.

Li: This is what I’ve always hoped for. To see my son happy and fulfilled.

Finn: Well, sometimes I just, I can’t believe that this is real. Like this is– this is really my life. I have everything that I would ever want.

Li: Yes. You do.

Douglas: Can I come live with you and your family, aunt steffy?

Thomas: Yeah, but that actually wasn’t even a part of the deal.

Liam: Douglas, you– you are not in trouble. We’re– we’re all just um, a little caught off guard. That’s all.

Thomas: Okay, look, hey, bud. I made some mistakes, you know, and I’m sorry that I ever put you in this position. It wasn’t cool. But I’ll tell you, I love you so much, and I’m always gonna love you. You’re gonna be my number one guy forever.

Hope: Your father loves you, douglas. So do liam and i and your aunt steffy. You have a whole extended family that is going to be there for you no matter what. Okay? We just wanna make sure that… that you’re okay with your decision, that you understand that you would be growing up outside of our home. And it’s just that we, um… we– we wanna be there for you. And it won’t be the same without you.

Liam: I think, um– I think your mom’s just tr– she’s just trying to say that we are really hoping you choose to stay with us. That’s all.

Steffy: Hey, douglas, come here. I am so honored that you chose finn and me. But there’s a– a lot we have to sort out. It’s a really complicated situation. And I know you’re feeling a lot of pressure right now, and you don’t wanna hurt anyone, but your mommy and daddy love you, and they want what’s best for you. So do I. I’m not exactly sure what that looks like right now, but um, know that you are always welcome at my house. We adore having you over, especially kelly.

Douglas: We’re working on a big project. If I’m living there, I can finish it even sooner.

Steffy: And you’ll have plenty of time to work on that solar system. But I think tonight, maybe you should go home with your mommy and liam and we can, uh… we can discuss this later, okay? Okay. Come here. I love you. I love you so much. Hi, I’m karen.

Carter: Now that you’ve worked up an appetite, let me take you to dinner.

Katie: Oh, that sounds good. Yes, let’s do that.

Carter: Okay. Same indian place we went to last week.

Katie: You are reading my mind.

Carter: I can picture it now. You’re ordering the chicken masala then regretting it, then eating my entire plate of curry.

Katie: I did do that, didn’t I?

Carter: You sure did. But I’d share my plate of curry with you any day.

Katie: Because you’re just that sweet.

Carter: You’re pretty sweet yourself. The way you defend your family.

Katie: I don’t know. All this worry doesn’t seem to do anyone any good.

Carter: You care, katie. You really care. And that’s what I admire most about you. You’d do anything for the people that matter. Even bill. You’re fighting against sheila for the sake of his relationship with your son.

Katie: Well, someone’s gotta be the voice of reason because he has lost his mind. It’s like he’s stuck in this deep, deep depression. I mean, I don’t know what else to call it. And as long as he is in my life, which will be forever because he’s the father of my son, I– I have to keep fighting for him.

Carter: But not alone ’cause I got your back.

Katie: Feels good to have you by my side.

Thomas: Oh, I’m glad we all have a chance to speak privately.

Hope: Mom and donna said they’d watched douglas as long as we need.

Liam: Okay, great. Well, how about we start here? Uh, letting douglas choose his own home is a record-setting bad idea.

Thomas: Okay. You think this is what I wanted? I thought that my son was gonna be living with me, not with my sister.

Hope: What were we thinking? Letting a child decide his guardianship?

Thomas: I honestly don’t think it was that bad of an idea. I mean, look, he– he gets to choose who he wants to live with. It’s a 50/50 shot. Either his mother or his father.

Hope: Except now, it’s neither one of us, thomas.

Thomas: Why would I ever have predicted that?

Hope: What does that say about us as parents?

Finn: I’m happy you’re home. My mom says hi, by the way. She left a little while ago. And the kids are watching a movie. So, what happened? How’d it go with the judge? I mean, that had to be uncomfortable for you. This whole process is unusual, am I right?

Steffy: Yeah. Unusual. That’s an accurate description.

Finn: Yeah. It’s just douglas, he’s so young to be choosing who raises him. And I know this was thomas’ idea, but he’s been happily living with liam and hope and this… what’s up? You’re being quiet. Douglas didn’t choose thomas, did he?

Steffy: No, he didn’T.

In a world, where dry

eye symptoms…

Thomas: Well, obviously douglas doesn’t want to be around any of us.

Liam: You know, at this point, I don’t blame him. I mean, because of you, we put the kid in an impossible situation, right? He chooses you, he hurts us. He chooses us, he hurts you. It’s a lose-lose for him.

Thomas: So he writes steffy’s name down.

Liam: Yeah, he writes steffy’s name down because she was there and because she’s actually kinda neutral in all of this.

Thomas: I don’t know. I wouldn’t exactly call her neutral. She is his aunt.

Hope: Steffy understands what’s at stake. Douglas’ wellbeing and happiness.

Thomas: Yeah. But steffy and I– I mean, even though we’ve had our issues, she is– she’s my sister. You know, I’m her brother.

Liam: Okay. And?

Thomas: I’m just saying, I– I– you know, maybe this isn’t the worst thing for me.

Hope: What is that supposed to mean?

Thomas: I know how important family is to steffy. She’s not gonna keep me from seeing my son.

Liam: What– what is– what’s the implication there? That hope has kept you from seeing your son? Like, dude, if there’s a rift between you and douglas, that is on you. They were your lies. They were your actions. They were your choices.

Hope: Okay. You know what? Stop, stop. I don’t– I don’t wanna do this. I don’T. Our son just rejected all of us, and he chose to go live with steffy because clearly, he isn’t happy here.

Liam: That– hope, that is not true.

Hope: Isn’t it? Because I love him as if I carried him myself.

[ Voice breaks ] So obviously I must have failed him somewhere along the way.

Liam: That’s– that– that is– that does not mean that. You haven’t done anything wrong. You’ve done everything right.

Hope: Obviously not! So, I need to figure out where I went wrong and why he chose to go live with steffy.

Finn: I know this is hard for you. Again, you and your brother aren’t on great terms right now. And he’s been a challenge for a lot of your life, but… he’s your brother and you care about him. It had to be really difficult watching douglas choose.

Steffy: Yeah. Everyone was, uh… really surprised.

Finn: Really? I mean, it shouldn’t have been too surprising. Douglas has been living with hope all this time, and they’ve been a little unit for years. And considering all the problems that thomas has brought on, and the way douglas gets caught up in it, is it really that crazy he chose to stay with hope and not thomas?

Steffy: Douglas didn’t choose to stay with hope.

Finn: You just said he didn’t ask to be with his dad.

Steffy: Right. Right.

Finn: So what? He just– he didn’t pick anyone?

Steffy: No, no. That’s not– that’s not what I’m saying.

Finn: What are you– what are you saying? I’m confused. What’s going on?

Steffy: Um, so we were inside the judge’s chambers. The papers were signed and sealed with hope and thomas’s signatures. And all they needed was douglas to write down who he wanted as his guardian. And when the judge went to go read it, she was– she was shocked. And then hope and thomas read it, and yeah, they were– they were stunned too.

Finn: Who did he write? Who does he wanna be his legal guardian?

Steffy: Me.

Finn: You?

Steffy: Yes. He, um– he wrote down my name. Finn, he looked at me with those sweet, innocent eyes and he said he wanted to live with me. He wanted to live with us. Douglas wants to be part of our family, finn.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Xander and Gwen ask Jack and Jennifer if they are going to give them the Spectator or will Jennifer be going to prison. Jennifer responds that the answer is no. Jack tries to argue but Jennifer declares that they are not giving them the paper. Jennifer remarks that they can’t comprehend the amount of work and pain that Jack put in to the paper and insists that it’s a good paper that does something important in town. Jennifer refuses to let them slither in and take it from Jack. Gwen mocks Jennifer’s speech and brings up that it was Jennifer, who got high and hit her with her car and then drove off. Gwen calls that cowardly and illegal which means prison time. Gwen adds that as her victim, she thinks Jennifer richly deserves that. Jennifer says that’s something they can both agree on. Jennifer tells Gwen to go ahead and call the cops because she has it coming.

Leo sits in the town square, talking to himself about beginning to write gossip for the Spectator about Alex and Allie at the bar. Leo ends his statement by saying that the Kiriakis brothers have a penchant for breaking hearts. Sonny then walks up and questions what Leo is babbling about now.

Gabi goes for a jog until she comes across Wendy in the park. Gabi questions her not being at work. Wendy says she took an early lunch since things were pretty slow at the office. Gabi asks if that’s the only reason since she looks like she just lost her best friend. Wendy responds that he wasn’t her best friend and that they only knew each other for a couple months. Gabi guesses she’s talking about Johnny DiMera.

Johnny repeats to Paulina that if she’s worried about anyone coming in between Allie and Chanel, it should be Alex because he’s the problem. Johnny brings up Chanel always finding Allie and Alex together and also finding Alex’s underwear at Allie’s home. Johnny argues that stuff like that is messing up between Allie and Chanel, so if anybody is to blame for their problems, it’s Alex.

Allie tells Alex that Chanel cannot know he’s there. Alex suggests if they ignore her, she’ll go away. Chanel then finds her keys and begins to unlock the door while Allie asks Alex what now?

Wendy tells Gabi that after spending all that time together pretending to be a couple, she realized she was feeling things for Johnny and on New Year’s Eve, they kissed. Gabi guesses they faked something for so long that it became real. Wendy says that’s how it seemed, so they decided to start dating but the problem is, he’s still hung up on Chanel.

Paulina tells Johnny that she knows Alex is a bit of a loose cannon but he also makes a convincing scapegoat. Paulina argues that she wants to talk about Johnny and Chanel, but he keeps bringing up Alex, so she thinks he’s trying to blame Alex for something he did. Paulina says Alex may have a habit of showing up where he’s not wanted but there’s more than enough blame to go around. Johnny questions if it’s his fault that he and Chanel walked in on Allie and Alex together at the bar. Paulina says no but it is his fault that he almost kissed Chanel at the hospital and he’s the one that got Chanel all turned around. Paulina declares that Johnny can swear all he wants that it’s Alex’s fault, but it’s his too.

Chanel enters the apartment. Allie claims she was on the phone and apologizes for not letting her in. Chanel says it’s okay as she found her keys in the bottom of her purse. Allie questions what she’s doing here. Chanel responds that she wanted to talk to her about Alex.

Johnny tells Paulina that he gets she is protective of Chanel, but promises that he respects the fact that she is with Allie. Paulina questions how nearly kissing her does that. Johnny admits he went too far, but that’s over now and nothing happened between them. Paulina says Chanel told her that they almost did something they’d both regret. Johnny points out that they didn’t and they stopped. Paulina questions why his focus is on Chanel anyways and argues that if he really wanted to make sure nothing happened, he’d steer clear of her altogether. Paulina reminds Johnny that he and Chanel are divorced, then asks if there’s not another girl he could be chasing after..

Gabi questions if Wendy is just going to give up on Johnny. Wendy argues that she’s facing the reality that Johnny is still very attracted to Chanel, if not in love with her. Gabi argues that is not a reality, but a nagging doubt and not worth throwing in the towel over. Gabi reminds Wendy that she was the one who told her not to give up on Stefan. Wendy calls that different since Johnny isn’t being programmed to go after Chanel. Gabi feels that she was in a similar situation since Stefan was in love with Chloe and she thought it was a lost cause, but Wendy reminded her that she’s not someone who gives up. Wendy feels that no one would ever say that about her, but Gabi says she would. Gabi brings up that when she first met Wendy, she barged in to her hotel room to demand tickets to the DiMera Gala and then when she showed up in Salem, she demanded a promotion. Wendy feels that was no big deal but Gabi insists that it was. Gabi asks what’s different about fighting for a man and fighting for a job. Wendy responds that the job isn’t still in love with his ex wife.

Alex hides under the table while Allie asks Chanel what she wants to say about Alex. Chanel brings up last night when she saw them together and apologizes for what she said. Chanel admits she overreacted. Allie knows how it must have looked. Chanel acknowledges that it wasn’t that a big of a deal and she’s done her fair share. Allie suggests they go for a walk and talk about this. Chanel says she first has to say that she got so upset because of all the crap going on between them and that is on her. Allie disagrees but Chanel insists that she just jumped to the wrong conclusion when she found Alex’s underwear and she should’ve just listened to her since she is her girlfriend and she trusts her. Chanel declares that she wanted to come here and tell her that she believes her that nothing happened between her and Alex.

Leo informs Sonny that he is writing a gossip column. Sonny assumes he got hired by The Intruder but Leo calls himself a respected journalist that wouldn’t stoop to working for a rag like that. Leo then reveals he’s been hired by the Spectator which shocks Sonny.

Jack questions what Jennifer is talking about. Jennifer says she’s talking about finally paying for the crime she committed. Jack argues that this is giving in to blackmail while Gwen argues that Jennifer deserves to go to prison and just admitted it herself. Jack brings up Gwen drugging people and says she shouldn’t be the one talking about people who deserve to be punished. Jack asks about Sarah and how Gwen turned her in to a vegetable. Jennifer remarks that Xander did not exactly trade up. Xander holds Gwen back and acknowledges that Jennifer hates them for a reason. Gwen says if Jennifer is ready to face the music, she’s ready to call the tune. Gwen that calls the police and asks to speak to Rafe, saying it’s quite urgent.

Sonny tells Leo that it doesn’t make sense since The Spectator is a real paper that covers real issues. Sonny asks how delusional Leo is and if he actually got a contract. Leo admits he doesn’t have a contract yet. Sonny tells him not to hold his breath because Jack would never hire him and already turned him down. Leo argues that proves that Jack doesn’t know anything about running a paper and should’ve been forced out long ago. Sonny reminds Leo that Jack owns the paper. Leo says for now which Sonny questions. Leo then reveals to Sonny that Jack is giving the Spectator to his best friend Gwen, who is going to be the new editor-in-chief which shocks Sonny, who can’t believe it. Leo talks about always searching for the perfect words as a journalist and clarifies that it’s more like Gwen is prying the paper from Jack’s cold hands.

Gwen states that she is on hold and gives Jennifer one last chance to change her mind. Jennifer tells Gwen to do her worst. Rafe then answers the call. Gwen says this is urgent but Jack grabs the phone from her and tells Rafe that he’s sorry to bother him and that Gwen just wanted to tell him that he’s doing a great job. Jack hangs up and tells Gwen that she can have the paper which shocks Jennifer.

Paulina tells Johnny that Wendy seems like a really nice girl and very understanding of everything Johnny put her through with Chanel. Johnny confirms that she is and admits he really likes her and for a moment, he thought there was a real shot between them but that was before he blew it all to hell. Paulina says she’s learned in Salem that there is no such thing as blowing it all to Hell, or else she’d be single now. Paulina encourages Johnny to stop moping around and do something if he thinks they have a future. Paulina suggests Johnny find Wendy and tell her that he made a huge mistake.

Wendy tells Gabi that it’s not just Johnny being hung up on Chanel, but that she doesn’t know him very well. Gabi encourages that getting to know each other is the fun part. Wendy asks what if she finds things out about him that aren’t so great. Gabi calls that a negative attitude and says Wendy is expecting the worst. Wendy feels it’s for good reason since Allie said some scary things about Johnny, especially about how he treats women, almost like she was trying to warn her off. Gabi explains that Allie probably also thinks Johnny is hung up on Chanel and is mad at him. Gabi adds that it only matters what Wendy feels. Wendy admits that she likes Johnny, so Gabi tells her that if she wants Johnny then she has to fight for him. Gabi then walks away.

Allie tells Chanel that she’s right that nothing happened that night. Chanel apologizes for thinking that it did and assures that nothing happened between her and Johnny, but admits that Johnny did drive her home that night and for a second, she thought something might happen which Allie questions. Chanel explains that she was just so upset when she saw Allie and Alex together and thought she cheated on her, that she thought if she slept with Johnny, she could pay her back but thankfully she didn’t because Allie means way too much to her to risk losing her. Chanel adds that is why she wants to put all of this behind them and stop all this fighting so they can work this out. Chanel tells Allie that she loves her. Allie says she loves her too. Allie and Chanel then kiss, until Alex’s phone rings in the room.

Jennifer argues that Jack can’t give Gwen the paper and calls it wrong. Jack responds that what’s wrong is Jennifer going to prison. Jennifer complains that Jack spent his whole life building the paper. Jack says they built it and did what they set out to do. Jack cries that it was supposed to be Abigail’s legacy but Abigail is gone, so if giving Gwen the paper means Jennifer keeps her freedom, that’s an even trade to him. Jennifer thanks him. Jennifer asks if Gwen is finally satisfied since she came to Salem in the first place to make Jack suffer. Gwen responds that she just wanted what was hers. Jennifer argues that it was never enough and she had to make everybody else suffer. Jennifer says Gwen did everything she could to destroy Jack’s family and when that wasn’t enough, she took his life’s work. Jennifer asks if that’s finally enough and if Gwen is finally satisfied.

Johnny decides maybe Paulina is right that he just needs to let Wendy know how he feels about her. Johnny worries that he doesn’t know what to say after everything that has happened. Paulina encourages him to call Wendy and say it’s Valentine’s Day and he wants to see her. Paulina decides her work here is done. Paulina tells Johnny to stay away from Chanel as she then walks away. Johnny then pulls out his phone.

Alex stops his phone ringing while Chanel asks Allie if she’s going to answer that. Allie says no and blows it off as robocalls driving her crazy. Chanel then questions if Allie changed her ringtone. Allie claims that she did yesterday and asks who cares about her phone since Chanel is back. Chanel then gets her phone and says she has to check something first. Allie questions if Chanel is really going to call her phone. Chanel then calls Alex and his phone rings again. Chanel tells Allie it was a nice try and then calls out to Alex that he can come out now. Alex then reluctantly emerges from underneath the kitchen table as Chanel remarks that it’s fancy meeting him here.

Sonny questions what Leo means that Gwen pried the paper from Jack’s hands. Leo claims he’s in the middle of something and suggests they catch up later. Sonny stops him and says that’s not going to happen as he demands Leo tell him what happened. Leo asks him to just forget he said anything but Sonny refuses. Sonny declares that Leo is going to tell him what exactly went down between Gwen and Jack. Leo thinks that’s between Gwen and Jack. Sonny states that is between them as he grabs Leo and asks what Gwen did.

Jennifer mocks Gwen not being satisfied as she doesn’t think she ever will be. Xander feels this conversation has stopped being constructive. Jack asks if that’s because he got what he wanted or if he’s just trying to shield Gwen from being so fragile. Xander suggests maybe he’s trying to shield Jennifer from having to point out that none of this would’ve happened if she hadn’t gotten behind the wheel while high as a kite. Xander adds that not only could Gwen have been killed, but many innocent bystanders could have been as well. Jack argues that Jennifer is sorry for that. Xander brings up how Jack wouldn’t even have the paper if he didn’t blackmail it from Leo’s mother and says they can go back and forth on and on about their crimes. Xander doesn’t think they are enjoying their company anymore, so they will get going. Xander hopes they see this not as a door closing, but a window opening. Jack hugs Jennifer and tells Gwen to never call him “dad” again. Xander and Gwen then exit together.

Johnny sits outside the Pub and begins texting Wendy but he can’t figure out what to say. Johnny tells himself to just face the facts that Wendy doesn’t want to see or hear from him and he blew it. Johnny then gets a call from Wendy, who asks him to meet her in the park.

Alex tries to tell Chanel that this is not what she thinks as they got drunk last night, came back here, and he was in bad shape so he crashed in the office like last time. Chanel asks Allie if that’s true, but she admits that it is not. Allie then reveals to Chanel that she and Alex slept together.

Leo tells Sonny that he can’t reveal his sources. Sonny demands Leo tell him what Gwen did but Gwen and Xander arrive and separate them. Xander questions what Sonny thinks he’s doing. Sonny responds that he’s tracking down a story. Gwen warns Sonny that he will find out it’s not wise to attack one of her journalists. Sonny mocks them and questions if Xander is okay with stealing Jack’s newspaper after everything Jack did for them. Gwen argues that Jack gave it to her. Gwen says they are going to celebrate and invites Sonny to be Leo’s plus one but Sonny says he’ll pass. Leo tells Sonny that he doesn’t know what he’s missing. Leo, Gwen, and Xander then head in to the Salem Inn.

Johnny meets Wendy in the park and asks her what’s up. Wendy responds that she was wondering if he had any plans tonight.

Allie tries to explain to Chanel that it wasn’t anything they planned but Chanel screams at them and says they didn’t do anything to avoid it. Alex argues that Allie was just really upset about Chanel and he was a mess over Stephanie, so they thought they could go out for a drink. Alex blames himself. Chanel tells him to go away. Alex asks her not to blame Allie but Chanel yells at him to just go. Alex says he thinks they are great together and he cares about them both as he then leaves the apartment. Allie tells Chanel that Alex was trying to cover for her, but she was drunk and not what she intended to happen as she thought Chanel was going to hook up with Johnny. Chanel responds that she wouldn’t betray her like that but obviously Allie didn’t feel the same. Allie insists that she loves Chanel and only wants to be with her, so she asks if they can just forget this ever happened. Chanel cries that she’s sorry but she just can’t do that.

Wendy thought maybe she and Johnny could do something tonight. Johnny says he’d love to but he thought she changed her mind about him. Wendy responds that she did, but then she changed it back. Johnny points out that it’s Valentine’s Day. Wendy suggests they could see that horror movie but Johnny says that was one night only. Johnny then says it’s streaming, so they could go to his place and watch it together. Wendy says it’s a date.

Xander, Gwen, and Leo go to their room at the Salem Inn. Xander says he will go call for champagne. Leo praises Gwen for pulling it off and says everything is turning up roses. Gwen comments that it would seem that way. Leo encourages that by the time they make their mark on the Spectator, Gwen and Xander will be Salem’s hottest power couple. Gwen guesses they’ll just have to wait and see.

Jennifer tells Jack that she’s so sorry and says it’s all her fault because they could only do this to Jack due to what she had done. Jack responds that he only blames Xander and Gwen. Jennifer acknowledges that Jack tried so hard with Gwen. Jack doesn’t want to talk about them anymore and wants to spend Valentine’s Day with Jennifer. Jack suggests a romantic lunch at the Bistro which Jennifer says she’d like very much. Jack adds that giving Gwen the paper was selfish on his part because he just couldn’t live without Jennifer as they then hug.

Sonny goes home and calls Will, leaving a message to call him back because he will not believe what he just found out. Alex walks in and asks what he just found out. Sonny then informs Alex that Gwen, with the help of Xander, is stealing the Spectator from his uncle Jack and to add insult to injury, they hired Leo to run the gossip column. Alex remarks that it’s just what Salem needs, more dirt. Sonny notes that Alex seems to be in a foul mood. Alex calls that an understatement and says he just got back from Allie and Chanel’s. Sonny jokes that they usually have a lot of fun together, so he asks what happened. Alex responds that he destroyed their relationship.

Allie argues that this can’t be it and that Chanel knows how much she means to her. Allie calls being with her being like nothing she’s ever felt. Allie calls Chanel her best friend and says when Chanel kissed her for the first time, it opened up a new part of her that she didn’t even know she had. Allie cries about coming out to her family and friends and realizing how special it was and how lucky she was. Allie says they have been through so much together and shared so much. Allie repeats that Chanel opened up a new part of her and she loves her so much that it can’t be over between them. Chanel responds that she’s sorry, but it is. Chanel acknowledges that what she said is true, they did share everything and they did love each other, but now they are just hurting each other. Chanel declares that the last thing she ever wants to do is hurt her, so she thinks it’s best if they just end things now before they hurt each other even more. Chanel says goodbye to Allie and exits the apartment. Allie then breaks down crying.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: That was a wonderful dinner. Thank you.

Victor: Wasn’t it?

Victoria: Yes, it was.

Victor: I think we should do it more often, my darling. I think your mother might enjoy it.

Victoria: Yeah. She wouldn’t enjoy us talking business at the table, though.

Victor: Well, that’s true. However, if she had known we were talking about taking over tucker mccall’s company, I think she would have enjoyed it indeed.

Victoria: Well, everything seems to be coming together. We have the financing placed to buy up his debt. But I think we need to move quickly before the competitors get the same idea.

Victor: Oh, especially now that the rumor’s floating around about tucker mccall’s dire financial straits.

Victoria: I’m worried. I am worried about devon stepping in, bailing him out.

Victor: Ah, but to be frank with you, I think that’s too big of a move for devon. Besides, he seems to be fighting with jill and her sister.

Victoria: Maybe, but I don’t want to give him the chance. I think we need to move quickly. How do we gain total control and take over his debt?

Victor: Well, I think we should tell him it’s inevitable and that he should join us rather than spend his time fighting us every step of the way.

Victoria: We need to force him to sell us an ownership stake at a cut rate. I think that would be best for everyone.

Victor: Besides, it would piss him off to the core.

Audra: Where are you?

Tucker: Waiting for someone?

Audra: I am, but I don’t think brad pitt’s going to make it. So you’ll have to do.

Tucker: Well, look at us. Here we are out in public. Does it feel strange seeing me this way after months of pretending I don’t exist?

Audra: Doesn’t feel stranger than most of our interactions.

Tucker: She’s feeling saucy tonight.

Audra: You know, this actually feels nice. Just two friends having dinner. This is what normal people do.

Tucker: Oh, if you say so. I wouldn’t know.

Audra: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: God, you’re beautiful. It’s lovely to see you. I… I always find our interactions very stimulating.

Audra: Well, what can I say? I am utterly incapable of being boring.

Tucker: You are. You are. Although I just can’t help but be a bit suspicious.

Audra: Of?

Tucker: Your motives. I mean, why do you want to reconnect as friends?

Audra: Do I need a motive?

Tucker: Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Why don’t we hypothesize for a second? You expressed interest earlier in the rumor of my enormous debt. But you’re working for newman media. That information couldn’t possibly be of any use to them. Why would nate care about how much money I owe and to whom? But newman enterprises, victor and victoria, they would care. So I’m just wondering if maybe this reunion is really about gathering information for them.

Kyle: There you are.

Summer: Here I am.

Kyle: You blew out the office so abruptly, we didn’t get a chance to talk about it.

Summer: Did it occur to you that I didn’t want to speak with you?

Kyle: We need to work this out.

Summer: You mean the way you purposely deceived me for weeks? Did I get that right? Is that the “this” you’re referring to?

Kyle: It’s complicated.

Summer: Explain it to me.

Kyle: Right here?

Summer: Yeah. You want to talk? Let’s talk.

Ashley: Hello? I’m home. Anybody here? Hello?

Diane: Just me.

Ashley: Oh. Visiting harrison, I hope.

Diane: No, I’m meeting jack. We’re going out to dinner. And, you know, you should probably get used to —

Jack: Ash.

Ashley: Hi.

Jack: Hi. Welcome home. I didn’t know you were coming in this evening. What — how was paris?

Ashley: I had fun. What do I have to get used to?

Diane: Oh, the fact that we’re together again in every way. I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Additional sponsorship

provided by… my cholesterol is borderline.

Jack: What does that look mean?

Ashley: God. Gonna make me say it?

Jack: Yeah, I guess I am.

Ashley: Okay. Well, apparently you’ve abandoned your core principles because you’re sleeping with a scam artist, so there’s that.

Jack: Wow, just off the plane, already with the doom and gloom. I’m sorry you can’t be happy for me. Happy for us.

Diane: Would you prefer some privacy? I mean, I could excuse myself.

Jack: No.

Ashley: Definitely.

Diane: I just thought it might be easier.

Jack: It’s all right, unless you don’t want to be here. Look, I think this affects you, too. I think you should hear what’s being said.

Diane: Well, I’m not sure I want to hear it, but, um, okay, I will stay for you, jack. I was just hoping that we could find a way to meet in the middle.

Ashley: You know this doesn’t mean she’s changed, right? This is just how she operates. Doesn’t mean anything, really, that she’s saying that.

Jack: You can speak to diane directly. She’s right here.

Ashley: Okay. I have no interest in trying to meet you in the middle, diane, because I think we have very different ideas of what the middle actually is.

Diane: Possibly. But I thought if we could keep an open dialog going that maybe one day we could have a respectful relationship.

Jack: Wow, wouldn’t that be nice?

Ashley: I have no interest in building any kind of relationship with you, diane, because I don’t like you.

Jack: As disappointed as I am that you won’t bend even a little, ash, this is your problem, not ours.

Ashley: You’re making it our problem, jack, by parading whatever the hell this is under all of our noses.

Victor: You and I know that mccall will be absolutely furious. And with his back to the wall, who knows what he’ll do?

Victoria: You sound like you admire that quality.

Victor: Well, I’ve some of it myself, you know. Comes in handy sometimes.

Victoria: Do you think that tucker is going to do something illogical to try to wreck our plans?

Victor: Maybe.

Victoria: Well, then we have to try not to attract any attention, especially from him.

Victor: My suggestion is that we confront him directly. We’ll tell him that we are coming just before we make the deal. It’ll so confuse him it’ll throw him off his game.

Victoria: He might assume that it’s a bluff or a diversion, and he might drop his guard. He might focus somewhere else.

Victor: Ah. And then he’ll start scrambling, trying to find out what else we have in our arsenal. He’ll probably be stupid enough to reveal what piece he’s going to move first. Then, my darling, in good old victor newman fashion, you and I will pounce.

Tucker: So, am I right?

Audra: About what?

Tucker: You’re here to gather information for the newmans.

Audra: Honestly, tucker, getting right to the meaty stuff before I could even take a sip of my wine.

Tucker: Mm. Salud.

Audra: Salud.

Tucker: No, this is going to be a civilized conversation, right? A little wine might even help us. In vino veritas and all that.

Audra: You know, I think we know each other too well for this conversation to be anything other than civilized.

Tucker: And I will do my best to be respectful.

Audra: Mm. Really?

Tucker: Yes.

Audra: Is it respectful to ask me right out of the gate if I’m doing undercover work for the newmans?

Tucker: Absolutely. I would never put up a facade for you. Pretend that wasn’t foremost on my mind. I can tell you, though, if it were true that you are doing that, I would not be angry. Just pay me the respect that I’m paying you and don’t try to fool me. That’s all.

Audra: Mm. I can’t tell if that’s a threat or if you would be legitimately hurt by me trying to put one over on you.

Tucker: Hurt? No, I wouldn’t be hurt. I would be disappointed, though, deeply, because I think the one thing that we can count on with each other always is honesty. Yeah?

Audra: Yeah, you’re right. We do have that sort of relationship. Yeah, we can lie to anyone else within earshot. But you and me, nothing but the truth.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] So? Are you gathering information for the newmans?

Audra: I’m going to be straight with you. The newmans know about your debt. They’re planning to buy it up to give them leverage over you. Suffering from sinus congestion, especially at night?

Summer: I cannot believe that you lied to me and jack about colluding with my grandpa.

Kyle: I’m sorry. I am. I made the wrong call. I should have been honest with you when you asked me about it.

Summer: You think?

Kyle: Don’t say it like that. You sound like —

Summer: I — I sound like what, kyle? Were you just about to say that I sound like my mom?

Kyle: Okay, here’s the thing I need you to understand. My deal with victor, I stand behind it.

Summer: Are you serious?

Kyle: No harm was inflicted on jabot because of the information I gave to victor. I would never let that happen.

Summer: You have no idea what my grandpa could have done. I love him, but he is crafty and unpredictable.

Kyle: It worked out.

Summer: No, you got lucky. Adam left of his own accord. That is the only thing that bailed you out.

Kyle: And getting adam out of jabot was all I wanted.

Summer: Exactly. You were so focused on what you wanted that you didn’t think about any of the consequences.

Kyle: Dad called me out on that, too. But jabot is better off without adam, and I know you feel the same way. You never liked working with him. And the kicker, apparently adam didn’t even like being here.

Summer: You’re rationalizing. And you are totally missing the point.

Kyle: Then tell me, what is the point?

Summer: This isn’t about the company, kyle. This isn’t about adam or my grandpa. This is about us.

Kyle: I understand that. I’m being truthful now.

Summer: It’s a little late for that, isn’t it? I begged you not to pursue this. I told you that I didn’t want any more family drama in our lives. We’ve had enough of that. And you did it anyway. What does that say about us? About our marriage? You completely violated my trust.

Jack: There is no us here. You can’t presume to speak for anyone else. You are the only one being openly hostile and antagonistic toward diane.

Ashley: Just because they haven’t voiced an opinion doesn’t mean they don’t have one. I’m sure I can find many, many people who aren’t exactly thrilled about this.

Jack: They may have their concerns, but everyone else is trying to keep an open mind. Everyone else trusts me to do what’s right in my own life.

Ashley: I don’t feel that way. I don’t think you know what you’re doing. And I have the need to protect you because I can’t ignore what’s right in front of my face, jack.

Jack: I would argue that you are being blinded by your hatred and pessimism. There is no room for redemption, no room for change. And believe me, it is your truculence that has brought us to this golden family moment. Welcome home, sis.

Ashley: Okay. I love you. I love you. And I want what’s best for you. This isn’t it, jack.

Jack: In your opinion.

Ashley: Do you know what i see when I see her? When I see diane, I see nothing but pain and endless trouble. And not just from the past, but from the present. I know you keep telling me that she’s changed. But every corner we turn, there’s another surprise. Where, yet again, she’s conveniently forgotten to tell us.

Jack: Diane and I have addressed this.

Diane: We have.

Jack: And I am confident that those surprises are behind us. We are ready to move forward together.

Ashley: You’re going to regret this. Trust me. You’re just a pawn in whatever game she’s playing.

Jack: Wow. With all the blessings you have been given, you are going to deny me this little bit of happiness.

Ashley: Jack, delusion is not happiness.

Jack: Oh, come on.

Ashley: If I kept falling for tucker’s B.S., Would you approve of that? Would you?

Jack: Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.

Ashley: Okay, well, that’s what I see when I see the two of you. I’m embarrassed for you.

Jack: Enough. I’ve had enough. How white do you think your teeth really are?

Audra: You don’t seem surprised.

Tucker: It’s a clever move on their part. Just the other day, nick and victoria were taunting me about my company being in trouble.

[ Chuckles ] And since newman wasn’t able to acquire chancellor-winters, it makes sense that they would come after me.

Audra: You’re a very appealing target.

Tucker: Apparently. And of course, they couldn’t just be satisfied swooping up daniel romalotti’s gaming platform. Although I’m sure that was the spark of the idea. “Why just take that project from tucker? Why don’t we take everything from him?” It’s very victor. And his daughter’s even worse now. Of course, nick and nikki will just stand behind them and nod.

Audra: Yeah, that’s the impression I got. There doesn’t seem to be any real dissension among the ranks.

Tucker: Never. That’s another newman trait. Everybody standing in line in lockstep. So how much time do I have?

Audra: I’m not privy to the specifics, but you and I both know this is not something they’re going to put on the back burner.

Tucker: Well, I do appreciate you telling me this, although I can’t help but wonder why. Are you unhappy at newman media or you just missed me? Or are you an agent of chaos who really enjoys playing one side against the other and watching the fallout?

Audra: I’ll let you think whatever you like.

Tucker: Ah, yes. Brava. Exactly what I would do. Although now that it’s being done to me, I’m a little annoyed by it.

Audra: So now that you know what’s coming next, what are you going to do about it?

Victoria: The question is, how do we get tucker this information so that it looks natural, like he uncovered it himself?

Victor: Simpler the better. I mean it. Let’s go after him directly. But that is really not all I want to discuss.

Victoria: You want to talk about something else?

Victor: Mm-hmm. You know how much my grandchildren mean to me?

Victoria: Well, yes, of course I do.

Victor: What’s going on with johnny and chelsea?

Victoria: Daddy, I’m very protective of johnny when it comes to his biological mother. But he seems very at ease with her these days. And the idea of him having a brother in connor, I think he likes it.

Victor: And how are you, sweetheart?

Victoria: Me?

Victor: Yeah.

Victoria: I’m fine. Have I given you any reason to worry?

Victor: No, no, no, no, no. No. I just want you to remember how important family is and how important it is to maintain that connection.

Victoria: Oh. We’re not talking about my family right now, are we? We’re talking, actually, about your family. More specifically, you’d like to discuss adam.

Jack: This conversation is over.

Ashley: And yet again, nothing’s been resolved.

Jack: I am resolved that we are done here. You offered nothing to this conversation, nothing concrete, nothing helpful, no remedies, just negativity. As far as I’m concerned, you can take that and go right back out the door. And don’t come back until you’re ready to have a meaningful conversation.

Ashley: Wait one second. So this is really becoming a thing for you where you think you can kick me out of the family home?

Jack: I guess so.

Ashley: We’ve talked about this, jack. You can’t do it. This is our home, not just yours.

Jack: How much?

Ashley: How much what?

Jack: How much is it going to cost me to buy you out of this house? If you can’t respect me, if you can’t respect the decisions I make, living together is going to be untenable. So how much is it going to cost to get you out of this house?

Ashley: Yeah, that’s going to happen. When hell freezes over.

[ Door slams ]

Jack: [ Breathing heavily ] Did you know, some ordinary cold medicines can raise your blood pressure?

“The young and the restless”

will continue. She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Jack: I’m sorry you had to overhear that.

Diane: Oh, no need to apologize. I feel like I’m partly to blame.

Jack: That’s nonsense.

Diane: No, I might have instigated the argument. Ashley was so abrasive and condescending when she came in. And then I might have gloated a little bit when I said that we were back together. But I should have exercised more restraint.

Jack: That is very generous of you to say that, but I have a feeling we’re in for a few more of those arguments in our future.

Diane: I can handle ashley’s disdain for me, but what really bothers me is what this is doing to you. You and your sister are so close, and I’m just worried that our relationship is driving a wedge between the two of you.

Jack: Ashley and I will be fine. Tempers got the best of us today, and we have overcome far worse than this. We’ll be fine. We just need some time.

Diane: Well, I’m — I’m glad you feel that way. And it gives me hope that everything will work out. And I won’t be a disruption to your family life.

Jack: You disrupt all you want. My family will be fine. It is solid.

Diane: Wow. This has been quite a day. Hey, how did things go with kyle when I left the office? Did he have an explanation for the messages from victor?

Jack: He did. It was not what I wanted to hear.

Kyle: I am so sorry, summer. I know I broke our trust, and it was weighing on me the whole time. I never meant to hurt you. And today I was going to explain myself in private, but I didn’t get the chance to. So what can I do to make this up to you?

Summer: You really don’t get it, do you? This isn’t a “buy me flowers and everything’s okay” type of situation. Kyle, for the last several months, I have kept telling you that I don’t want any secrets or lies in our life together.

Kyle: You were talking about my mom.

Summer: Yeah, and you’ve just proved to me that you’re capable of the same things as diane.

Kyle: Oh, don’t compare me to my mother.

Summer: Why not? You just compared me to mine.

Kyle: Okay, you’re right. I’m sorry. Can we just go home?

Summer: Kyle, you can’t just toss out a quick apology and expect forgiveness. That’s not the way that this works.

Tucker: I actually don’t know what I’m going to do next.

Audra: Really? Or is it that you just don’t want to tell me?

Tucker: Well, if that were the case, would you blame me? For all I know, you shared that information for the sole purpose of finding out what I’d do next.

Audra: I thought we were always honest with each other. I scratched your back. Don’t you want to scratch mine?

Tucker: Wasn’t this supposed to be a platonic dinner? That sounded a little more than platonic.

Audra: Old habits.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Well, why don’t we take this platonic conversation among two friends back to my hotel room?

Audra: Don’t forget we said we stayed friends without benefits.

Tucker: I thought that was just lip service.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] You’re right about that. But not tonight.

Tucker: Mm.

Audra: Rain check. Maybe.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] I still have a sneaking suspicion you’re playing me.

Audra: Does that bother you?

Tucker: Are you kidding? I’m so turned on right now by it. We’ve never been on opposite sides before. It’ll take some getting used to, but it’s exhilarating knowing we’ll be banging into each other, once in a while anyway.

Audra: Well, then, this was a successful evening. Thanks for dinner.

Tucker: My pleasure. Till we meet again.

Victoria: I know you’re determined to bring adam back into the fold of the company, but, daddy, you have to be realistic.

Victor: Sweetheart, how am I being unrealistic?

Victoria: As I told you earlier, there’s no place for him at the company. At least nothing that he wouldn’t consider demeaning. Anything less than ceo, and he’s going to be so insulted.

Victor: You’re probably right. You haven’t put it together yet, have you?

Victoria: What? What am I missing?

Victor: Why the hell do you think I’m so interested in tucker mccall’s company? It’d be perfect for adam to run it.

Kyle: It is not my intention to just buy you gifts and expect forgiveness. I need to put in the work. I understand that. But I need you to understand that comparing me to my mother isn’t fair.

Summer: How is it not fair?

Kyle: This was a one-off attempt to help jabot by getting rid of adam. I felt like I had to be deceitful to execute the plan. But look, I’m not proud of it. And it’s not going to happen again because it’s not who I am.

Summer: You lied to me and you continued lying to me even after you had the opportunity to come clean. You chose. You actively chose to deceive me. That is what hurts the most.

Kyle: Look, I thought I was doing the right thing.

Summer: Did you? Because I kind of feel like if you thought that this deal was the right move, you wouldn’t have kept it a secret. No, you knew that it was wrong, and you just wanted to do it anyway.

Jack: In the end, adam was very honest and agreeable.

Diane: So he just left?

Jack: Yeah. He’s no longer a jabot employee.

Diane: Gosh, I wouldn’t have expected him to give up the job so easily.

Jack: He said it was never a perfect fit and he needed to move on. And I understood that. Kyle — kyle, on the other hand, I — I let him know how deeply disappointed I am giving company secrets to victor newman, of all people.

Diane: I’m not trying to take kyle’s side, but I’m sure he was just trying to protect you and the company.

Jack: Another person offering me protection I don’t need.

Diane: All right, well, if you can work through your issues with ashley, then I’m sure that you and kyle can get past this.

Jack: Yeah. I won’t argue with you there. I just — I hate the timing of all this. Just when we should be happy, just — I just want everyone to be in a good place all at the same time. It never works out that way. And by everyone, I mean you, me, and kyle.

Diane: Are you still worried how he feels about us?

Jack: I told you, he worries that if things fall apart for us, you will leave town.

Diane: And I’ve tried to tell him that that is not the case.

Jack: Well, we just have to continue to reassure him whenever we can.

Diane: Yeah, well, how do we do that without sounding like overbearing parents?

Jack: By example. Every day that he sees us growing closer, finding more joy in each other is another day that he doesn’t have to worry about us. He will come to understand what I know now. We’re going to get it right this time.

Diane: I love hearing you say that.

Jack: God, we have been through so much.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: We both had to change. But you changed in the most remarkable, wonderful ways. And I am falling in love with the woman you’ve become. Probably should have said that a while ago, but it’s true. I love you. You enter a room and my — my pulse quickens. My — my heart is full. I see you with our son, with our grandson, and I think how lucky they are to have you in their lives. How grateful I am to have you in mine.

Diane: Gosh, I am a grown woman, but my heart is just going — feel that. Jack, besides being crazy about you, you are my joy. You are my safe place. You’re the proof that I’ve done something good and right in my life. I love you so much. It feels so good to be able to say that.

Jack: Stay right here. I’ll be right back.

Nate: Yeah, I still have 15, 20 minutes of work left. Yeah. I’m sorry, elena. Look, I will be home as soon as I can, okay? Don’t wait up.

Audra: I thought you might be here.

Nate: So how’d it go with tucker? Did he show up?

Audra: Oh, we had a lovely dinner and a nice bottle of wine he kept trying to get me to drink too much of.

Nate: And the business side of things? How much does he know?

Audra: We had a fruitful conversation. He’s aware that certain parties have an acute interest in his company’s financial status.

Nate: Hmm. Well, I’m sure you handled that smoothly. Downplayed it or feigned ignorance. Yeah, that would make sense.

Audra: I went a different way.

Nate: As in?

Audra: I told him the truth.

Nate: Audra.

Audra: I told him that the newmans intend to buy his debt.

Nate: Why the hell would you reveal that?

Audra: Trust me, it’s a smart move.

Nate: How could it possibly be? Huh? Now he knows exactly what we’re planning to do.

Audra: Yeah, but it sends him a clear message that newman has the upper hand. He tried not to show it, but tucker was rattled. We will be right back, everyone! <

Transcript proofread and provided by Suzanne

Dante: [ Sarcastically ] Oh, that was fun.

Sam: Would you stop? It wasn’t that bad.

Dante: No, it wasn’t bad until you almost swerved off the road into the hedges.

Sam: Oh, I’m sorry. Was I supposed to expect a cow to be in the middle of the road?

Dante: Yeah. In the English countryside, I guess so.

Sam: Mm. Well… welcome to Devon.

Dante: Well, thank you. You know, I got to say, I think this room is my favorite part so far.

Hmm. The room… or the bed?

Dante: The room and the bed.

Sam: And the bed.

Dante: Yeah.

Sam: Well, what about… the gorgeous woman sitting on top of the bed?

Dante: Mm-hmm. You took the words right out of my mouth.

Sam: Oh, did I?

Dante: You did.

Willow: I want to say those vows, Michael. I want to be your wife for as long as I can.

Michael: I want that, too, more than anything. We could, uh, we could do it today right here in the hospital.

Willow: Absolutely not.

[ Elevator whirring ]

[ Whirring stops ]

Liesl: Alone at last.

Josslyn: I didn’t take you for a wedding crasher.

Dex: No?

Josslyn: Unless you’re on the guest list?

Dex: Sonny wanted me here for security.

Josslyn: And you’re dressed to blend in.

Dex: How’d I do?

Josslyn: You look very handsome.

Dex: Good enough to be seen with you? If we could be seen together?

Josslyn: Have I told you that I hate that you work for Sonny?

Dex: Once or twice.

Josslyn: I hate it a little less today.

Nina: [ Gasps ] Thank you.

Sonny: What did I do?

Nina: Well, you gave me the kick in the pants that I needed. It’s really great to be here, celebrating Curtis.

Sonny: I’m proud of you. And I know you’re nervous because of Willow.

Nina: I am, but I can’t tell you how much it means to me having you by my side.

Spencer: Hi.

Trina: Hi.

Spencer: You look beautiful.

Trina: Oh, well, I feel beautiful. Is that weird to say?

Spencer: No. You’re just telling the truth. I have to admit, I was a bit surprised when you texted me. Did your mom really invite me?

Trina: Yeah. She really did.

Spencer: It’s very generous, especially considering her opinion of my family. I can’t even say that she’s wrong.

Trina: Did something happen?

Spencer: Nothing new. My father just continues to live down to my expectations.

Zeke: If it isn’t my gorgeous, brilliant niece. Who’s your friend?

Laura: Ava.

Ava: [ Gasps ] Oh!

Laura: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Ava: No, no, that’s — that’s fine. My mind is elsewhere, that’s all.

Laura: Thinking of Nikolas?

Drew: Okay. It’s not an act. You’re actually not nervous.

Curtis: Ha ha! There’s nothing to be nervous about. We have history. We’re definitely in love. Portia and I are a sure thing.

Portia: There’s no mistake. Curtis and I are getting married, and it’s what we both want.

Jordan: How can you say that when Curtis doesn’t have all the information? Portia, it is very likely that Trina is his daughter.

Portia: No, no, no, no, no. I’m not doing this again. Not today.

Jordan: I’m just trying to —

Portia: Stay out of my business, Jordan! I want you to leave, and I want you to leave now.

Jordan: It’s not me you have to worry about.

Portia: What does that even mean?

Jordan: Stella knows your secret, too.

Liesl: I’ve been awaiting my chance to eviscerate you for your monstrous cruelty to Nina. And you call yourself a mother? No one worthy of that title could ever deprive a woman of her own child. I can forgive you Nelle. The girl was deeply troubled, and you didn’t know she was Nina’s until after she had perished. But Willow? Month after month keeping that secret. And now…[ Scoffs ] that may turn out to be the only time she and Nina ever get to have as mother and daughter. You robbed them of that. And as much as I hate you for it, I still pray you never experience that kind of pain.

Willow: I don’t want to marry you in this room or the hospital chapel. These lights and smells and sounds. Our love is so much more beautiful than that.

Michael: Okay. We’ll… we’ll do it somewhere else where we want. We’ll make it happen.

Willow: Michael…

Michael: No, no. No. Don’t say it.

Willow: I have to. There’s a huge chance that…I’m going to die way sooner than either of us were prepared for. And I can’t even begin to describe how much I hate that, but that is our reality. And I refuse to spend whatever time I have left in this bed. I want to be with our children. I want to go to sleep with you lying next to me without a machine beeping away the seconds like a ticking time bomb. I want to go home.

Sam: No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Whoa.

Dante: Wait.

Sam: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Stop, stop, stop.

Dante: Come back. Where are you going?

Sam: No, because if I get back in the bed, we’re gonna end up, you know, making love.

Dante: Yeah.

Sam: Yeah. Which means we’re probably gonna fall asleep because we’re jet-lagged, and we need to be out there looking for Esme’s nanny.

Dante: [ Exhales sharply ] Right. In the hopes we get pointed in the direction of our killer.

Sam: Yes! There is my detective boyfriend.

Dante: Alright. Just so we’re on the record here. I’d rather be doing that.

Sam: Yeah. Me too. But later.

Dante: Later? Alright, when later?

Sam: When we find Maggie Fitzgerald.

Dante: Hmm. What happens if we strike out?

Sam: Hmm. I guess then you strike out, too.

[ Both laughing ]

Dante: We better get to work, then.

Sam: Yes.

Trina: Spencer Cassadine, this is my grandfather, Dr. Sterling Robinson.

Spencer: It’s good to meet you.

Sterling: Pleasure.

Trina: And this — this is my uncle Zeke, the coolest uncle ever. Don’t be intimidated.

Zeke: Well, maybe be a little intimidated.

Trina: [Laughs]

Spencer: Deal.

Zeke: Good.

Sterling: So, how’s your mother feeling? Is she a little nervous?

Trina: She’s just excited. She can’t wait to marry Curtis.

Portia: Stella knows what exactly?

Jordan: That she and Trina both had a close match on the same ancestry website, and it was someone in Port Charles. Then Stella’s match disappears at the same exact time Trina took herself off the website.

Portia: That doesn’t prove anything.

Jordan: Maybe not, but it was enough to convince Stella.

Portia: Stella’s not sick. She didn’t officiate the wedding because she knows that I could be lying to Curtis.

Jordan: I assume that’s what’s going on, yes.

Portia: And this is all your fault.

Jordan: Excuse me?

Portia: You wanted this to happen. You kept pushing and pushing and prying. Why, Jordan? Why can’t you just leave me alone?

Jordan: I’m a cop. Something didn’t add up, so I investigated.

Portia: For the millionth time, stay out of my business, Jordan. I’m warning you.

Jordan: Why do you think I didn’t say anything? I know it’s not my secret to tell, but Stella…

Portia: No, no, no. Stella’s not gonna say anything. Stella’s not gonna say anything either. No, I know she won’t.

Ava: It’s true. I-I can’t help but think of Nikolas with regret. I really wanted our marriage to work.

Laura: Of course you did. I did, too.

Ava: Took you a while to come around, though, right? [ Laughs ] I’m not gonna dwell on that. Not today. Today is about Curtis and Portia, and I, for one, am so happy for them.

Laura: I am, too.

Nina: Well, here’s the man of the hour.

Curtis: Nina. Alright. Hey, Sonny. Glad you could make it.

Sonny: How you doing?

Curtis: Alright.

Sonny: Drew.

Nina: So how do you feel?

Curtis: Well, my great day just got even better now that you’re here, and it means a lot that you’re here. I know you got a lot going on.

Nina: I’m really glad that I’m here.

Terry: Hey.

Finn: Hey.

Terry: Have you heard from Elizabeth? She texted she was on her way, but that was a while ago. And now I’m kind of worried.

Finn: Hey. [ Whispers ] Don’t worry.

Josslyn: On the one hand, I was hoping that Sonny and Nina would be no-shows so that I didn’t have to deal with them today.

Dex: On the other hand?

Josslyn: You’re here.

Dex: How’ve you been?

Josslyn: Oh, well, that’s another mixed blessing. My baby niece officially has a name.

Dex: Which is?

Josslyn: Amelia.

Dex: Pretty.

Josslyn: Yeah. The bad news is the doctors wanted to use the stem cells from the cord blood, but… it didn’t work out. They couldn’t harvest enough.

Dex: I’m sorry.

Josslyn: So am I.

Dex: What’s the next step?

Josslyn: Well… [Sighs] There’s still a chance for the bone marrow registry, but, I mean, chances are slim and, uh, Willow’s getting weaker every day.

Spencer: What are you doing here?

Trina: We came out here to walk, so let’s walk.

Spencer: You didn’t answer my question. What are you doing here?

Josslyn: Hey, why do you care?

Spencer: Is he with you?

Josslyn: He’s working. Sonny posted him here as security.

Spencer: Seems like a good excuse to hang around Joss.

Josslyn: What?

Spencer: Not that you care, now that you’re a free woman.

Trina: Why are you doing this?

Josslyn: Because he wants a fight. Normally, I’d be happy to give him one, but we’re at your mother’s wedding.

Trina: Which I need to get back to. Come with me.

Spencer: I’ll be there in a moment.

Trina: Spencer —

Spencer: It’s fine. No one wants you here, dude.

Dex: “Dude”… Like Ms. Jacks said, I’m working.

Laura: I’m so happy to see you.

Elizabeth: Not happier than I am to see you. I don’t know what it is, but when I’m with you, you just make me feel like everything is gonna be okay.

Laura: Is something wrong?

Elizabeth: Nothing that can’t wait until tomorrow. Today is about love, and I intend to enjoy every minute of it.

Sonny: Big of you to show.

Taggert: Selfish reasons. The Hook’s still out there, and I want to make sure my daughter’s okay.

Sonny: I got my people looking out for things.

Taggert: Well, I guess, for once, I’m grateful.

Molly: Hi. I’m so sorry I’m late.

T.J.: No worries. We still got plenty of time.

Molly: Good. [ Sighs ] It looks so beautiful in here.

T.J.: It’s a little different from our domestic-partnership ceremony.

Molly: Just a little bit.

T.J.: Any regrets?

Molly: No. Of course not. What we have is all I could ever want.

Portia: If anyone can keep a secret, it’s Aunt Stella. I mean, look how many years she hid the fact that Marshall was still alive, and she did it for the family. And she’ll do the same this time.

Jordan: Even if she does stay silent, can you really walk down that aisle with this hanging over you? How long until you break, Portia?

Portia: I’ve carried it this far, haven’t I?

Jordan: And maybe you will indefinitely, but life happens. What if Trina needs her complete family medical history at some point? Or what if she decides to look into this whole DNA match herself?

Portia: Or what if none of that ever happens, Jordan? But, see, that would be your worst nightmare, wouldn’t it? Hmm? Because the man you still love would be getting married and living his happily ever after with someone else?

Jordan: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. I do still love Curtis. I want him to be happy, and he’s happy with you. Don’t you get it? I want this marriage to work, which is why I am begging you to tell him the truth. Tell Curtis that Trina might be his daughter. If you do it now before the wedding, it gives you a fighting chance. But if Curtis finds out later on his own… …you’ll lose him, Portia… just like I did.

[ Door closes ]

Carly: This must be especially triggering for you, given you just lost your daughter.

Liesl: People keep reminding me that she died a hero.

Carly: Thank god you’re alive. Thank god you’re alive.

Josslyn: Britt saved my life… and it cost her her own.

Liesl: And, yes, of course, it’s a small consolation knowing Britta gave her life courageously, but I’d rather have my daughter here.

Carly: Of course you would. I’m so, so sorry, Liesl.

Liesl: If you mean that… then help my niece.

Michael: We have to talk to Dr. Randolph about getting you released, but she’s at a wedding right now.

Willow: That’s fine. I can wait a few hours, even until tomorrow, if necessary. But…that’s it. I want out of here. To go home. To be with our son and daughter and to plan our wedding.

Michael: That sounds good to me.

Willow: Yeah?

Michael: Yeah.  So, uh… well, what does it look like?

Willow: Well… When we were first married, it was in your family’s living room. Maybe we could do it there again. You think they’d let us?

Michael: Let us?

Willow: Dumb question.

Michael: Yeah, well, my family would be thrilled. They love you, Willow. Uh, they’ll want to celebrate with us.

Willow: So we’re agreed. You’ll take me home?

Drew: You ready to get the show on the road?

Curtis: Almost. There’s something I need to do first. Excuse me.

Terry: Hey. Where were you? Is everything okay?

Elizabeth: Currently, it’s great.

Terry: You’ve been worrying me for a bit, you know. But now you seem steadier, calmer.

Finn: Elizabeth, what are you gonna do?

Elizabeth: Turn myself in.

Elizabeth: I’ve been struggling with, uh, a decision. But now that I’ve made it, I’m feeling… not really better, but resolved.

Drew: You look very nice.

Nina: As do you.

Drew: Did you, um, get in an Amelia sighting?

Nina: Yeah, I actually did. I came straight here from the hospital.

Drew: As cute as ever, I’m assuming.

Nina: Yeah, even more so.

Drew: She’s such a blessing right now.

Nina: Yeah. This wedding is a blessing. To have something to celebrate, it’s a gift.

Drew: It is.

Nina: So, Drew, are you flying solo or will Carly be joining you?

Spencer: I will inform my Uncle Sonny that you were being intrusive, and…I sent you away.

Josslyn: Dexter’s doing nothing wrong.  Spencer, this is an actual question. What’s the problem?

Spencer: My problem? Uh, I don’t like him.

Josslyn: Are you 5?

Spencer: I also don’t like the way that you defend him.

Josslyn: I’d defend anyone this way. You can’t just roll up and start yelling at Sonny’s employee.

Spencer: That’s interesting. Are you telling me that you would be this defensive, this upset over just another one of Sonny’s goons?

Trina: Spencer, enough. I invited you here as my guest. And now you’re going out of your way to pick a fight.

Sonny: What’s going on?

Michael: I’ll take you home.

Willow: Thank you.

Michael: And we will get married at the Quartermaines’. But, Willow, I need you to do something for me in return.

Willow: What is it?

Michael: I need you to believe in the possibility of a miracle. I’m — I’m not telling you to count on it or arrange your days around it, but just… to acknowledge that miracles do happen. We’re still waiting for a donor. I need you to promise me that if we find one… …you’ll agree to the transplant?

Liesl: Help Nina reconcile with Willow.

Carly: I can’t do that.

Liesl: You did all you could to create distance between them. Help bring them together for whatever time Willow has left. The only time Nina will ever get with her daughter.

Carly: Okay, you act like Willow’s dislike for Nina is my doing.

Liesl: Isn’t it?

Carly: No. No. Nina caused that all on her own. And because of that, I’m not gonna pressure Willow to accept Nina if she doesn’t want to.

Liesl: They say I lack compassion.

Carly: [ Sighs ]

[ Whirring resumes ]

Carly: I can’t build a bridge between Nina and Willow. But maybe I can try to build one… …between Willow and you.

Sam: We caught a break tracking down the last family Maggie worked for in London.

Dante: You mean you caught a break. That was all you and your P.I. skills.

Sam: Well, you know, I don’t want to brag.

Dante: Well, you should brag. You got some very rich, very private people to open up and give us information about Maggie.  Not that it’s a lot to go on. I mean, she doesn’t have a phone number, she doesn’t have an address, no e-mail address, just a P.O. Box.

Sam: Hey. That’s a very defeatist attitude.

Dante: I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be. I’m just saying we got our work cut out for us.

Sam: Yes, we do, but it’s okay. I mean, we don’t have modern technology to fall back on, so… [Sighs] We’re gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.

Dante: Which way is that?

Sam: You’ll see.

Portia: I had only been focused on Trina and loading myself up with work. Forgot to even think about what I wanted out of life. And then you came back into it. And all these possibilities are available to me now, you know? Love and happiness and security. And you’ve given me all of these things. And that’s what I want for us. I want that forever.

Curtis: So is that a yes?

Portia: Yeah. Curtis, I’m gonna marry you.

Portia: Clearly you’ve done the math. And while Trina is the correct age to be your daughter… She’s not. Marcus was her father.

[ Knock on door ]

Curtis: Babe, can we talk?

Sonny: What’s going on? Clearly something’s going on.

Josslyn: What’s going on is that your nephew is an entitled, inconsiderate ass.

Trina: Look, I really appreciate you adding your own security, but it’s really not necessary. My father has it covered.

Sonny: What was that about?

Dex: Your nephew wanted me to leave. I wasn’t gonna do it until I checked with you.

Sonny: But that’s not what it looked like. It looked like, uh Spencer was provoking you, and you didn’t take the bait.  Alright, just — you go ahead and go. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Something — I got word from Pikeman. They gave me a date for the shipment. It’s gonna be two weeks from tonight. I want you to go with me to make sure that the merchandise is transferred without incident.

Dex: Understood.

Sonny: Wait. This is important.

Dex: I appreciate you giving me a chance to prove myself.

Sonny: Alright.

Ava: What’s wrong?

Trina: Nothing.

Ava: Trina, please tell me. You know me well enough to know that I will not accept that as an answer.

Trina: I just saw Spencer blow up on one of Sonny’s people, and it’s a side of him I really don’t like.

Drew: As far as I know, Carly is staying close to Willow and Michael for the time being. I also don’t think she was invited.

Nina: She wasn’t invited. I just thought maybe she would be your plus one.

Drew: No. No date for me.  Excuse me.

T.J.: It’s almost time.

Molly: So exciting.

Marshall: Yeah, but where did that son of mine disappear to?

Curtis: It’s the final countdown.

Portia: We still have, um, a little bit of time.

Curtis: Yeah.  Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t open the door. I don’t want to see you in your dress before it’s time.

Portia: It’s not like you to be superstitious like that.

Curtis: Well… today is not the day to tempt fate. Uh…honey… I love you, and I just — I felt the need to tell you that one more time before we take our vows. I’m so happy life brought us back together. That I’m able to rediscover you. So we can love openly and honestly with no secrets. We get to do it right this time, and I cannot wait.

Portia: [ Sniffles ] I love you, too.

Curtis: Okay, babe.

Portia: And the…

Curtis: I’ll see you out there. Okay? I’ll be the one at the altar wearing his heart on his sleeve.

Portia: Curtis. [ Cries ] Oh, Curtis.

Michael: Just please tell me, if you have the chance, that you will fight to stay with me and the children.

Willow: Michael, don’t misunderstand. I don’t want to leave you or our children. There’s nothing I want less. So, of course. If I get the chance, I will fight with everything that I have.

Michael: Okay. And I will go on praying for a miracle.

Willow: So will I.

[ Knock on door ]

Carly: Hey. Is everything okay?

Willow: It’s better than okay. Michael and I are getting married.

Sam: Well, we can’t exactly hide the fact that we’re Americans.

Dante: What — what are you — what are you saying? You don’t think I can do a good British accent?

Sam: Well, I think you can do a good Brooklyn accent. But British, I’m not so sure.  Maybe we say that we’re here on a referral from a friend.

Dante: A referral from Maggie.

Sam: From the rich couple that we met in London. Or maybe the last family that Maggie worked for.

Dante: Can we say we’re here to try to persuade her to get her to work for us?

Sam: [ Laughs ] Yeah. To look after our perfectly quiet, behaved children?

Dante: I don’t know… which part of that story is a bigger stretch.

Sam: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I think we go with plan “B.”

Dante: Truth?

Sam: Yeah. Tell Maggie that we’re here on Esme’s behalf, that we’re looking for the nanny who raised her because Esme is in trouble and desperately needs her help.

Carly:  I don’t blame you for wanting to get home.

Willow: Hopefully today.

Michael: Tomorrow at the latest.

Carly:  And then we’re gonna have a wedding?

Michael: Yeah, at the Quartermaines’. We want to re-create the first one.

Carly:  That sounds beautiful and fitting. Okay. When?

Michael: We haven’t picked the date just yet.

Willow: But obviously, sooner than later. In two weeks?

Michael: Is that doable?

Carly: Uh, are you kidding? With Olivia and me at the helm, anything is doable. We are gonna make sure that you have the most perfect wedding.

Willow: Thank you, Carly.

Carly: Okay, well, um, we need to get planning, so why don’t you take a walk so we can discuss details?

Michael: What, you don’t want my opinion on floral arrangements?

Carly: No.

Willow: No.

Michael: Alright then. Do you need anything while I’m out there?

Willow: I’d love a seltzer or anything with bubbles actually.

Michael: Done.Mom?

Carly: Uh, no, I’m good. Thanks. So, um, I really do want to talk to you about the wedding, but mainly I wanted Michael to leave the room. He wouldn’t like this. I need to ask you a favor.

Drew: Everything okay?

Curtis: Oh, man. All good. Alright.

Laura: Okay. Looks like we’re ready to start.

Spencer: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry.

Josslyn: You’re always sorry… till next time.

Sterling: There she is. My beautiful daughter.

Trina: Mom… you look incredible.

Sterling: A vision.

Portia: Thank you both.

Trina: I am so excited for you and Curtis. I’m so excited for all of us. Oh.

Portia: Careful with the dress. Always remember how much I love you, no matter what.

Trina: Mom.

Portia: Just promise me.

Trina: I promise. But you’re getting married. You’re not being deployed overseas. We’re not saying goodbye.

[ Soft music playing ]

Terry: That’s our cue.

Trina: Ready, mom?

Sterling: Now it’s our turn. I am so proud of you, Portia. Proud of the way you’ve raised your daughter, the way you conduct your life. Your mother and I feel blessed that you have found someone to love you as much as you deserve to be loved.

Portia: I love you so much, Daddy.

Sterling: I love you, sweetheart. I think we’re ready.

Portia: Uh…okay.

[ “Bridal march” playing ]

Dante: Wow. Hearing Esme described as a woman in trouble who needs help — I’m not quite used to that, but I guess it’s true.

Sam: Yeah, and however awful Esme was — and believe me, I think everyone can agree that she was awful — I’m convinced that she doesn’t remember.

Dante: But Maggie helped raise Esme, so odds are she’s gonna want to help her. Right?

Sam: Yeah. I mean, you would think. And let’s not forget that Maggie is probably really worried that Esme has gone off the grid.

Dante: Right. So which way you leaning?

Sam: I’m thinking the simplest way is the best way.

Dante: Agreed. Okay. Let’s go find Maggie and, uh, tell her about Esme and see what happens.

Sam: Okay. I think it sounds like a plan.

Dante: Dante: Do you?

Sam: Yes.

Dante: Well, listen, I was thinking, since the post office is closed and not open till morning, why don’t we stop at that pub that we passed by on the way in?

Sam: Are you inviting me for a pint?

Dante: Is that a yes?

Sam: Yes. Of course it’s a yes.

Dante: Let’s go.

Sam: Alright.

Liesl: Thank you for agreeing to see me.

Willow: [ Chuckles nervously ] It’s still sinking in that, um, you’re my great aunt, that I have a great aunt at all.

Liesl: An adjustment for all of us, but life is full of surprises, isn’t it? And unexpected chances. I don’t intend to waste this one. You come from a family of strong women. Not without flaws, of course. We certainly made regrettable mistakes. And we come through for each other. And we’ll come through for you, Willow. Like it or not… [Chuckles] …You’re one of us now.

Michael: Now is not a good time.

Dex: I’ll keep it brief. Sonny just gave me some important information. They’ve set a date for the Pikeman shipment. Sonny will be there personally to supervise, and he wants me with him. This will give you the evidence you need to take him down.

Michael: When, uh, when’s the shipment?

Dex: Two weeks.

Laura: Welcome, everyone. I am so happy to be officiating this wedding today, to have the honor to marry Portia and Curtis, two people who clearly love each other. Curtis and I have been friends for a while now, and I happened to be with him on a night when he learned that Portia was in danger, and to say that he jumped into action would be an understatement. Without hesitation, without fear, he was ready to risk absolutely everything to keep Portia and her daughter safe. It’s moments like that that are so telling that make it clear what’s really important. And what was clear to me that night was that there was already a very strong bond between these two people, a bond which has only deepened since then, because here they are ready to join their lives. And with Trina, become a family. So before we get the ball rolling here, I do have to ask the question that we all know the answer to, but I have to ask it anyway. Can anyone here show just cause why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Laura: Do either of you know of any reason why you should not be joined in holy matrimony?

Stella: That blessing comes with a price.

Heather: Your Valentine’s present.

Sam (with Dante): This is important that we find her.

Ryan: Everyone needs a backup plan, right?

Judge: Are you absolutely sure of this, douglas?

Douglas: Yes, ma’am.

Judge: Very well. Douglas has decided that his custodian moving forward is steffy forrester.

Douglas: I wanna live with you, aunt steffy.

Li: Is this for me?

Kelly: I made it myself, except for the eyes.

Finn: Uh, douglas helped with that part.

Li: Oh, my goodness! I love it. Very impressed. This is going on my fridge, so I see it every day.

Kelly: Awesome.

Finn: You certainly are, kiddo.

Li: You have such a lovely family, son. I’m so happy for you and steffy, the life that you created for the four of you.

Deacon: Come on, sheila, admit it. You want me too.

Sheila: Someone has a very high opinion of himself.

Deacon: Oh, really? This is coming from a woman who lives with the biggest egomaniac on the planet.

Sheila: Now, now. Let’s be nice. He kept me outta prison, deacon.

Deacon: Fine. Whatever. He saved your bacon, but there is no way that you and spencer have what you and I had, and can have again very easily. All you gotta do is just take a chance.

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Do it, sheila. Let this be our time.

Sheila: Oh. Seriously, you have feelings for me?

Deacon: You know I do, and I think it’s mutual.

Sheila: Oh, what about brooke? And you didn’t want me, you wanted her.

Deacon: You were right about what you said. You know, I was just fooling myself thinking I could make any headway with her.

Sheila: Making me runner-up?

Deacon: No way. All that time that you were gone, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Missing you, thinking about what we had. I want you back. Tell spencer you’re done. Dump him.

Li: So sweetheart, what other things have you and douglas made together?

Kelly: We’re making a mobile of the solar system.

Li: Wow!

Finn: Yeah. It was douglas’ idea.

Kelly: He wants to be an astronaut one day.

Li: Mm!

Kelly: Me too, and ceo of forrester.

Finn: Oh! Yeah, yeah.

Kelly: Like mom.

Li: Mm.

Kelly: When’s douglas was coming over again? I miss him.

Finn: Um, yeah. Well, I’m sure he misses you too. Um, we’ll see if we can schedule something soon. Okay?

Kelly: Okay.

Finn: Okay. All right.

Li: Aw.

[ Li chuckling ]

[ Finn sighing ] Something wrong, son?

Finn: I– I didn’t wanna say anything in front of kelly, but steffy is at the courthouse right now with douglas, hope and liam and thomas.

Li: Why?

Finn: To determine who douglas’ legal guardian will be.

Hope: Steffy?

Douglas: Uh-huh.

Thomas: She’s your aunt. She loves you, but–

Hope: But why would you want to live with finn and her? I mean, we’re– we’re your parents?

Liam: You mean so much to hope and me, buddy.

Douglas: You mean so much to me too. So does my dad.

Thomas: Okay. And why? Hope and I are your parents, not aunt steffy. Why give your family just any eggs

Deacon: I know what you’re thinking. It can all be yours. All of it, again.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Wow! Uh, with an offer like that.

Deacon: All right. But bill, really?

Sheila: Oh. Envious, are we?

Deacon: Of a neanderthal who inherited his daddy’s business on a silver platter? A– a guy that wears an idiotic toy sword around his neck? But then again, look at me, living above a restaurant, slaving away to make the perfect signature pizza while bill’s running a multinational company. Has a yacht, private jet. Then again, you’re here with me, not him. So there’s that. And inside you beats this dark little heart, and no one gets it going on like I do. I know how you feel about sheila. I can see it. Since you already know how I feel about you.

Li: I can’t imagine thomas proposing letting douglas choose his legal guardian.

Finn: I– I guess he’s counting on being douglas’s biological dad and that meaning something to douglas.

Li: Of course it means something. But just because hope isn’t related to douglas by blood, it doesn’t make her any less important in that little boy’s life.

Finn: I wonder how hope is feeling through all this, and it kind of came out of the blue. Though, I mean, I’d imagine that douglas would choose to live with hope and liam. That’s probably why she agreed to go along with thomas’ idea.

Hope: Sweetheart, you know how much liam and I love you, right?

Douglas: Yes.

Thomas: How much I love you?

Liam: You know how special you are to your mom and me. But beth too, right? I mean, like, you’re– you’re her big brother.

Douglas: I’m sorry. I don’t mean to upset you or hurt your feelings. I love you all, but I like it over there. Steffy is my aunt and finn is really cool. I have a great time with kelly and hayes. I also don’t want you and dad to be mad at each other. I hope you understand.

Hope: Oh, I– I understand, sweetie. It’s just you get that you’re choosing who is going to raise you and you’re– you’re choosing steffy to be your guardian instead of your father or me, and– and that sticks until you’re a young adult.

Thomas: It’s, uh, it’s a big step, but…

Hope: Yeah. But you’re so, so important to us. You’re our family and, um… it’s just, you’ve been a part of our home for so long.

Hope: Steffy? Steffy, can you please say something?

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: Douglas, I am so touched by your choice. You are such a sweet little boy and you are always welcome at our house, but you already have a home.

Douglas: Are you saying I can’t come live with you?

Steffy: Oh! Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss.

Sheila: I don’t want this. Stop it! I– I’m– I’m with bill now.

Deacon: So what?

Sheila: So I owe him everything. What you’re talking about, it just can’t happen.

Deacon: Our time together, I– I thought that meant something to you.

Sheila: Of course, it did! But you always had one eye on brooke and, my god, you tried to throw me out of here on more than one occasion.

Deacon: Look, that wasn’t ’cause I didn’t have feelings for you.

Sheila: But I– I really don’t care about the reason, all right? You can’t talk to me like this anymore or– or I’m gonna– I’m gonna have to break all contact with you.

Deacon: Come on, you don’t mean that.

Sheila: Oh, yes I do. I need friends and I consider you to be a very good one. But you– you just, you can’t– you can’t talk to me like this again.

Deacon: You’re scared.

Sheila: No! No, I’m not scared. I am smart, and as quickly as bill got me out of prison, he could put me back there.

Finn: You know, I feel for douglas. He’s had a rough life. And losing his mother so young and just everything that has happened since, he– he– he needs stability. He needs security.

Li: Something thomas isn’t capable of providing.

Finn: Yeah. You know, talking about all this, it just makes me appreciate even more how blessed steffy and I are to have this little family. You know, kelly and hayes, they’re just they’re so close and when douglas visits, he– he fits right in. It’s kind of nice how that all works.

Douglas: I can’t come live with you? You don’t want me there?

Steffy: Oh no, honey. It’s not– it’s not that. It’s, um, it’s just, uh–

Judge: I think your aunt and your mom and dad need a moment, douglas. Let’s give them that. Okay?

Liam: You all right with that, dude?

Judge: We’ll be right outside. Take your time.

Thomas: Douglas isn’t thinking this through.

Hope: Why– why would he want this? It doesn’t make any sense.

Steffy: I am completely blindsided by this. I never expected douglas would wanna live with me.

Hope: I mean, stephanie, please, can you talk to him and make him see that it isn’t an option?

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, hope’s right. This isn’t what any of us wanted. We thought–

Steffy: I know what you wanted thomas. And I understand that you and hope are upset, but… you both created this situation.

Thomas: What is that supposed to mean?

Steffy: It– it means, it means you need to set aside your feelings and focus on douglas. You actually want me to reject him?

Thomas: Douglas is my son, steffy.

Steffy: Oh, no.

Hope: And douglas is my son too. And I know I’m his adoptive mother, but I love him just as much as if I had given birth to him. I mean, steffy, liam and I have worked so hard to create a loving, stable home for him. I mean, we shouldn’t even be entertaining this. Please, please, just put a stop to this now. I’m not a doctor. But what? You’re– you’re willing to become spencer’s concubine in exchange for your freedom? You can’t be that desperate.

Sheila: I am not bill’s concubine. And you know what? I don’t want you.

Deacon: I don’t believe you.

Sheila: No? Well, believe this then, because I don’t think about you. I’m not longing for you. Everything that we had before, it’s just not there anymore.

Deacon: How do you know for sure?

Sheila: Because I know you, deacon, and you always want what you can’t have. You had me once and it’s over. You didn’t believe in me, so I moved on. I’m with a man that saved my life. A man that is completely committed to me. A man that isn’t always screwing up like you. Oh, god. This was such a mistake coming here. And you seriously believe you have a chance with me, then you’re a bigger screw up than I ever thought.

Deacon: Okay, stop.

Sheila: No, no, no, no. You know what? This is it. It is over. Bill is the winner, you are a loser. I don’t wanna see you again. I don’t want you anywhere near me ever again! Ever! No, you’re gonna mess everything for me, deacon, so goodbye.

Deacon: Sheila, please.

Sheila: No, don’t– no! Stop!

Sheila: Oh, you’ve gotta forget him! He’s just– you gotta forget. I gotta forget.

Li: Kelly’s good?

Finn: Yeah. She’s– well, she’s just as confused as I am. Is– is pluto a planet or not? ‘Cause the internet says dwarf planet.

Li: There you go.

Finn: Okay, well, it goes back and forth a lot.

[ Li chuckling ] Kind of like this whole douglas situation. Though after he makes his choice today, at least he will finally have some certainty. I am– I am happy for him or whoever he chooses.

Hope: You just have to stop this before things escalate out of control.

Steffy: What exactly do you expect me to do?

Hope: I expect you not to go along with this, steffy. Ever since douglas has come to live with liam and me, he has been given stability. He’s been given love and support, and I know you know that is what he needs.

Steffy: I am not questioning that. But first and foremost, we need to make sure that we don’t upset douglas or make him feel like he’s rejected.

Hope: No, of course not. Of course not. It’s just… last night, we asked him who he wanted to live with and he said he wanted to live with liam and me. And now for him to just…

Steffy: You heard him. He doesn’t wanna hurt you, liam or beth. But think about it from douglas’ perspective, everything he’s going through. Frankly, I questioned the whole idea of allowing a child to choose their guardian, but we’re here now and I don’t want him to feel that choosing me, he’s doing something wrong or that he’s rejecting you or thomas, because he isn’T. You realize that, right?

Hope: And you realize that this guardianship is legally binding until he is a young adult, right?

Steffy: Look, obviously, I, uh, I have to talk to finn, but, um, off the top of my head, maybe it is a– a good idea for douglas to stay with me for a while.

Hope: Steffy, no, no.

Steffy: Just hear me out. The beach house, it’s– it’s– it’s cool, it’s fun, but it isn’t douglas’s home. Eventually, he’s gonna start missing you and he’s gonna wanna go back to you, liam and beth. I honestly feel that’s what’s gonna happen.

Hope: Well, time at the beach isn’t parenting, and douglas should understand that. It takes a lot of hard work and commitment to give him the life that he has right now.

Steffy: I– I understand that, hope. I’m a mom. I get that. But I love douglas. He’s my nephew. He’s also a forrester. I promise you, I will do what’s best for your son.

Y&R Best Lines Thursday, February 9, 2023

Best Lines provided by Eva

Tucker: What would you like to know?

Audra: Mm. Tell me the truth. Just how much debt are you in really?

Tucker: I am amazed that that rumor is flying around. It really makes me wonder where it originated ’cause it’s clearly an attempt to undermine me.

Audra: By whom?

Tucker: Well, uh, Nick and Victoria Newman asked me about it directly, so maybe it came from Victor. Um, and we all know that Nikki has it in for me. Hell, it could have been Jack as a counterpunch to me trying to acquire Jabot.

Audra: Or maybe Ashley as a parting shot or Devon to express his irritation with you.

Tucker: Yeah, there are so many people in this town to choose from.

Audra: You know, I find it remarkable just how many enemies you’ve made in the short time you’ve been back in town.

Tucker: I don’t consider them enemies. They’re just worthy adversaries.

Audra: Of course, there’s another possibility.

Tucker: Who’d we leave out?

Audra: Maybe it’s not a rumor. Maybe mccall unlimited really is floundering.

Tucker: Does that seem likely to you? Your checks always cleared, didn’t they?

“**********************************

Nate: I was pulled into an interesting meeting with Victor, Victoria, and Michael Baldwin. And your name came up.

Audra: In what context?

Nate: First I need to know what, if any, allegiance you still have to Tucker.

Audra: None whatsoever. He tried to work me yet again today, probing to see, you know, how far we’ve gotten going after Omega Sphere.

Nate: And why would he think you’d share that, given that you’re now the competition?

Audra: That’s how much of an egomaniac he is. You know, Tucker thinks that I’ll always be loyal to him, even when he’s shut me out and disrespected me. But I’m used to it. So I dangled some bait, asking him for information on the rumors about his debt.

Nate: Was he willing to confirm those rumors?

Audra: Of course not. No, he was evasive at first. Then he acted like the chatter he’s over-leveraged was just a plot to undermine him, although he didn’t seem terribly concerned. So I gave him zip about our intentions where Daniel’s project is concerned.

Nate: How’d he react to that?

Audra: He didn’t. No, then he got a text and got all huffy. Trust me when I say Tucker McCall is not a man on top of the world.

Nate: How did you leave things?

Audra: Oh, not to worry. Look, I made it clear I want nothing to do with him.

Nate: Well, I’m gonna need you to rethink that. Your connection could be just the advantage we need.
