Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Stephanie went to see Sonny, but she ran into Alex. She thanked him for the card and the flowers. She also thanked him for apologizing to her. She told him that they couldn’t go back to what they had before. He wondered if it was because he turned off her phone or if it was because she slept with Chad. She said being with Chad wasn’t planned. She knew that he didn’t mean to turn off her phone, but she wanted to see where things went with Chad. He didn’t plan on begging her to take him back. She said when things settle down they might be able to be friends. Alex wasn’t happy about that. She didn’t want him to think she hated him. He apologized to her again. She thanked him and walked away. Chad found Julie looking through the photo album and thinking about the people she’s lost. She also thought about the people who struggled. She thought about Nick. Julie wished she had did more to help Nick. She hoped he suffered in the after life. Chad wanted Kayla, Kate and Marlena’s killer to suffer too. Julie talked about Abby with Chad. He told her about his relationship with Stephanie. Julie approved of his relationship with Stephanie. He said that he was looking forward to his future. Steve, John and Roman talk about how they’re going to take down Orpheus. Steve was going to get arrested so he could go to Statesville. John thought they should visit Orpheus and get him alone. Roman wanted to get Lucas involved in their plan. Roman planned to see Lucas.

Orpheus offered Lucas a bottle of alcohol. Lucas didn’t want it so Orpheus started taunting him with it. Lucas went off because he killed his mother. Orpheus said the person who stole the orchid was the person responsible for killing his mother. Orpheus left the alcohol there and walked out. Roman went to see Lucas. Lucas was surprised to see him considering what he did to Sami. He reminded Lucas that he was Kate’s son so he didn’t want him to be alone. Lucas told him that he was falling apart in there. He let Roman know that he had a run in with Orpheus. He gave Roman the bottle Orpheus gave him. He didn’t want to fall off the wagon. Roman thought it might not be a bad idea for him to drink. Kate, Kayla and Marlena were surprised to see Susan turn into Nick. They were shocked to find out that he was Jordan, Susan and Adrienne to get them to sell their souls. Kate wanted to know if he was the devil. He said the devil was a different person. He said he works for the devil. He said he had their signatures and just needed to collect. Kate tried to find a loophole, but she couldn’t find it. Kayla didn’t think the contract was legit since they didn’t know what they were signing. Nick reminded her that they weren’t in a courtroom. He said he had the final word. They refused to go with him until they spoke to his boss. Nick left it alone and told them that things were about to get worse for them.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Staffing. There you are. Everything. All right? Fine. Why I was expecting to see with the office today was supposed to be your first day Max Co. C e o. Hmm. About that. I’ve actually been having second thoughts. What do you mean? I don’t think I should be in the job. I don’t think you should either.

If you’re here to see your brother, he’s busy right now. I know. I know. You’re more than welcome to wait out here if you’d like till he’s finished. Don’t forget that you need to let me in there now.

Cric acid upsets my stomach. Great. You have nothing.

How much longer will I be subjected to this indignity? I have important work to do. Yeah, you wanna get outta here? I can make that happen when? Soon as you flip on your partners in crime,

you stupid idiot. You had one job at Keep Warhol Roll from coming to Salem. Calm down. Why would I calm down when I’m about to lose everything?

What you doing? What, okay. Looks like you’re having a beer in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, you care to join me

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

No, I’m not gonna join you, brother. I’m sober. You know that. I can respect that. I thought you were too.

I don’t even, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. Come on. Blame me for being slightly concerned. I did just take a gun outta here hand, and I was trying to get Kristen to tell us where the OR was. I know. No judgements. I. I get it. It’s a look. It’s a horrific time for all of us right now. We could all use some support. All right.

There’s no shame in that. This is your way of trying to get me to go to a meeting. Brady, please. I’m fine. Nothing says fine, like solo day drinking, honey. I just lost my mom. I mean, can you blame me? Wanting to have a beer, trying to take the hedge?

Absolutely not.

I, I miss my so much, man. I, I, and she wasn’t even my, Hey, hey. She was your mom too.

No, no, no, no. You, she was, you’re absolutely right. She was, she was always just so. Helping us all through the hard stuff, you know? And now I, uh, how are we going, how are we going without a breathing? I know how we go on. We lean on each other and that’s the only way to go.

You are not sure we should be co CEOs, but just yesterday you broke out the champagne to toast to our future. Since then, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about Gabby and how badly we treated her.

You feeling? Brother, it sounded as if you were expressing sympathy for Gabriela Hernandez, ej. You and I teamed up to oust her from her job, a job that she was doing very successfully. So yeah, I think it was a mistake. I’m sorry. Are you saying you want to reinstall Gabby as CEO of Damer Enterprises? She’s a strong leader, smart, creative, incredibly driven.

What the hell is wrong with you? The last I heard you hated that woman with every fiber of your being. Yeah. Well, not anymore.

Gabby, your brother asked not to be interrupted. Well forget that I need to speak with Ralph immediately about how you had him perform a medical procedure on Stephan Damara against his will. Stefan doesn’t have any will, not of his own. Anyway, he was brainwashed. Damn it. Jada, please, I need to speak to, he needs to to deprogram Stephan before it’s too late.

This is an emergency.

I am not even sure where to begin with you. It’s just so damn much. Rolf. You know, first off, you hid Steph and Damira from the world for four years and then brought him back to life after which you brainwashed him. Meanwhile, Orpheus somehow managed to get his hands on a toxin. A toxin that killed. Kayla and Marlena.

Where the hell did he get that from? Oh wait. I know a lab. Know anyone who works in a lab, bro, I did everything in my power to save those women. You created the damn pathogen and, but I didn’t infect anyone. As soon as I heard those, remember here, I began going orchid, so I could formulate an antidote. Oh, right.

Yeah. Did you want him to be the hero? You know, hero, Ralph, you’re a coward. And the minute you knew we were closing in on you, you gave Kristen Damir, the York, and right before we busted into your lab, you had no reason to do that. I had nothing to hide. Oh yeah. That’s why you fled overseas, right? Because you’re innocent.

I think it’s a good time for you to start. This is gonna be your last chance to avoid life in prison. Who exactly do you expect me to implicate? All of your accomplices that committed crimes. Obviously there’s Kristin and then there’s uh, there’s the man that broke my sister’s heart, Lee Shin. Why don’t you start with him?

Stop telling me to calm down. Damn it. If we’re all flips, I’ll never get my job back or my wife, not to mention, spend the rest of my life in prison so you can go to hell for screwing this up.

Sounds to me like you could use a lawyer. Sorry. Oh my ears. They perk up whenever I hear anybody in need of an attorney. Hard to have a lawyer. Thank you. But not the best one because that would be me.

Ah, I see. This is personal for you.

Well, we both know that Lee pulled the plug on Stephan. Kristen hadn’t showed up when she did. He’d be dead. He already was dead. Oh, come on Roth. You of all people know better than that. You’re the one who took his twin brother’s heart and put it in Stephan’s chest and then after you stabilize them, you brainwashed ’em.

Cause that’s what Kristen and Lee wanted. I did not know what you’re talking the hell. You don’t. You know damn well what I’m talking about is you admitted everything to Gabby and then you shot her full of something that made her forget. Now, unfortunately, for you, all those memories came flooding back to her at her wedding.

If you know all of this already, what do you need me for? Because Gabby’s word is hearsay. It won’t hold up in court, so I need you to corroborate her. I cannot do that. As I said, I know nothing about any of this. You want to go back to states, Phil Roth. I guarantee you there will not be any pardons this time.

Uh, you offering me a deal, commissioner? Wow. That will be up to the da, but I can guarantee. Get trash on your side. You’re gonna need to give up information. Unleash in and all of his accomplices,

Sloane Peterson, Esquire, we haven’t met, but, uh, your reputation proceeds you, as does yours, Mr. Shin. I’ve read all your stories, keeping up with you in the tabloids arrested at your own wedding for brainwashing your bride’s undead husband only in Salem. The police have no evidence against me whatsoever. I gather from your phone call that could all change very soon.

If Ralph talks, which he has a great incentive to do, the DA will have more than enough to charge you. Hmm. Tell me something that I don’t know. I can tell you you’d be wise to. Why would you wanna represent someone who’s completely screwed? Why else money? You dig deep into those pockets of yours and I will make all of these charges against you.

Go away. I don’t suppose you handled divorces. You just got married. You already wanna call it quits. No, but I have no choice. What kind of attitude is that? It’s a realistic one. I don’t see any way of turning this around. Then I think it’s time that you think outside the box should you know how to do that right?

So I got into this mess in the first place and now I’m gonna get you out of it.

Okay? So you’re saying Dr. Rolf didn’t only did half the job. I need him to get out of there and finish deprogramming seven, or he could get stuck this way forever. Or he can have the procedure in a week or two and it’ll all be just fine. I can’t, I can’t take that risk. Don’t you see? Everything is on the line.

The life, the love, the future. I never thought I could have ch please ste. The love of my life and I need him back all the way back and he needs me to get him there. I was wondering where you disappeared to last night. When I came across Gabby, I thought you were hiding. I never imagined that she had hit me over the head dragged me to the basement so Rolf could deprogram me.

Steph, and I apologize. No need. You were obviously oblivious. Totally. Nicole and I were up here drinking the cocktails you poured to celebrate our.

Hope you enjoy your little drink, you J Cause after a few doses of this, you’re gonna start acting pretty strangely. In fact, your judgments gonna be so impaired that the Derion board will have no choice to remove you. I’m glad someone could enjoy. I think Nicole enjoyed a little bit too much. What do. She can hold her liquor like a champ, but those dreams stayed.

They really hit her hard. I still are hitting me hard and I have no idea why.

So wow. It’s Rachel, Rachel. Mad, confused, angry at Kristen? No, no, no, no. Chloe, yes, she, she blames Chloe for the reason her mom, you know, had to go away. So, uh, I’ve been trying to persuade her otherwise to no avail. And I’m sorry. How about you? Who are all the, uh, women in your life?

Jay and I are doing a great job of avoiding each other, Nicole and I working on it.

Is that what this is all about? What do you mean? Come on, man. I know that you still have feelings for Nicole and you probably always will.

How are you feeling? Do you need an aspirin? Nope, I’ve got some. Thank you. There really was, some have, yeah, and I, I can’t seem to shake it, you know, the headaches, the, the nausea, and I couldn’t even get out of bed till now, which doesn’t make any sense because I only had a mimosa and a glass of champagne.

I’m so sorry. Ma, are you sorry that you’re feeling this way? You know I’m gonna have cook, make you some tea and toast. Yes. All have been eating the last few days. The only thing I can keep down. Thank you, Ste. And then we will finish our conversation. Of course. Oh, uh, I, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Don’t worry about it.

You know, in addition to feeling like death warmed over, um, I still feel so embarrassed about throwing myself at you yesterday. As I told you before, there’s no reason to be. Yeah, I, I, I know we already talked about moving forward, but I understand if you wanna put the brakes.

Not at all. I’m very much looking forward to taking you on the proper dinner that I, uh, promised you. So I . But tonight you are not feeling very well, obviously, and I have a fire that I need to put out with Stephan. Ooh. A fire now. Mm-hmm. , that’s something I’m familiar with particularly. Dumpster variety.

What do you mean? I still have feelings for Nicole. It’s ridiculous. Is it We’re divorced? Yeah. What has it been like 25 years or something. And every time you guys split up, you find a way to get back to one another. Yeah. Well, not this time. Hey, just like I told Dad, you know what? And Cole and I are over.

We’re moving on. Yeah, I’ll bet Roman doesn’t even believe it either. Come on. You know what? Nobody believes me about me and the woman I’m now seeing. Right? I can live with that. Hold on, hold on. Hold the woman you’re now seeing. Mm-hmm. , you talking about that Sloan girl, isn’t that like a friends with benefits kind of situation here?

Mm-hmm. . It is, and it’s exactly what I want right now. Exactly what you want. Yeah. Mm-hmm. , right. Something shallow, something meaningless, without any messy feelings attached. You don’t like the feelings you have for Nicole. You’re not good. Ready? Just admit it. The only reason you’re fooling around with this Sloan is because you’re trying to prove to everybody, mostly yourself, that you’re still not pining away for the love of your life.

I admire your confidence, Ms. Peterson, but this all seems a little too good to be. You swooping outta nowhere, making promises you can’t possibly deliver on Try me. Okay. How are you going to persuade a woman who thinks I’m evil incarnate to stay married to me? Has your wife served you with divorce papers yet?

No. Then how eager can she really be to end your marriage? Sounds like she’s having second thoughts. She certainly pretended to stopped by my room yesterday. It gave me a whole song and dance about how she’s giving up on Stephan and thinks we should give our marriage a second shot. It’s all just a ruse to get her hands on my phone.

Your phone? Yeah. It’s a burner. She used it to find a number to reach out to Ralph. And why is that? The police station right now singing like a canary, so we prioritize, we deal with Ralph first and then we fight the. I can’t force Gabby to stay married to me . Sure you can. You just need the right attorney.

Write down everything you remember. More details are better, especially when it comes to Lee Shin. Hmm. Give me enough detail to put ’em away. You might just earn your Get outta jail free car. Pray. Listen to me. You gotta let go.

I have nothing to prove to anyone. Listen, I moved on Eric. If, if you don’t wanna be honest with me, that’s fine, but at least be honest with yourself.

Eric, I’m so sorry about your mother.

Oh my goodness. You know, Marlena was such a remarkable woman. One of my dearest friends, I can’t believe she’s gone. Gary is, oh, Gary is just heartbroken and poor Roman, his wife, his ex-wife, and his sister. He must be devastated. I came to pay my control. You’re sure. My dad would appreciate that, but he’s not, he’s not here right now.

All right, I’ll come back later then. But if you, in the meantime, if you need anything, anything at all, you just ask. Okay. I will. And the same goes for you, Ray. Oh, honey, you not only lost your, your stepmother, but all this mess with Chloe and Stephan is just seems to get crazier. What? What do you mean? Well, uh, you didn’t hear about last night.

No, I didn’t. What, what happened? Well, uh, Chloe came by the house yesterday to see Stephan, um, to tell him that they shouldn’t see each other anymore. Oh. And then she was explaining it all to me, and then the landline rang, which is funny. I couldn’t even find it at first. I didn’t know we still had a landline.

Anyway, it was a collect call from Vivian Alama who informed us that Gabby had Stephan held captive in the secret room in our basement. What? Chloe and I ran down there and found that the old VAT was telling the truth for once in her life. Gabby had Stephan tied up. And he was rigged to some machine that Dr.

Rolf was using to deprogram him. I would, Dr. Rolf was there. I thought he was Mia a Well, apparently Gabby tracked him down. You say what you will about that woman, but she knows how to get things done. Um, anyway, Stephan’s feelings for Gabby have been successfully rekindled. Hold on, hold on. This, are you, are you telling me that?

Stefan and Chloe are over. Uh, not exactly.

Wow. Stefan is in love with Gabby again. That definitely complicates things. Mm-hmm. , no kidding. The kids talking about me. Oh, I was just filling in Nicole on last night’s exciting events. Uh, I sh I still can’t believe I slept through. You were ill. I have no excuse. And how are you Stefan? What Ralph puts you through?

That’s pretty insane. Yeah. Well, I must admit, I got a little nervous when he said the word improvisation for the procedure, but, uh, pretty happy with the end result. You know, not that I should stick my nose in where it doesn’t belong, but you know, Brady and and Chloe are, are dear friends of mine, and I, I think they belong together.

So I, I’m really glad you decided to let her go. Who told you that? Ej, you said you were in love with Gabby again? That might be true, but, uh, there is an additional piece. An additional piece complication. What do you mean? I am also. Still in love with Chloe

Gabby, what are you doing? I’m in the middle of an interrogation. I tried to stop her. Oh, I can explain. No later. Right now you need to leave. No, I’m not leaving without Rolf. He needs to finish fixing Stephan. No, not until he agrees to testify and gives me a full statement. I already told you I cannot complete the deprogramming process.

The equipment is destroyed. Well then you need to make new equipment or buy it or order it for you on frankenstein.com. Whatever it costs. Whatever it takes. I don’t care. You need to get Chloe Lane out of my husband’s head. Come on, start writing.

So, because you interrupted the procedure, Ralph wasn’t able to finish? No, he wasn’t able to finish because the machine he was using went cap. When Chloe and I ran down there, there was smoke coming out of it. Gabby was going berserk, yelling at Rolf to do something, and then the cops arrived and arrested him.

What about Chloe? Is she okay? I’m not sure. I don’t know. She got upset and ran out. I can’t believe she didn’t tell you about this. Yeah, yeah. Me neither. Well, maybe she didn’t tell you because tomorrow is Marlena’s funeral, but Brady, I do think she’d appreciates some support. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, it’s straight to voicemail.

Why didn’t you leave a message? Because I’m gonna go to the hotel and talk to him in. Good luck.

Oh, what? What’s wrong? It is that Kate? Yeah. Dad likes having her here. Talking to her gives him comfort. Oh, well I can understand that. Of course, as it turned out, those ashes I was talking to all those years didn’t belong to my Tony. Then maybe Romans should have those checked . I’ll let ’em know you stopped.

All right. Good to see you. Thanks. Thank you. You take care, sweetheart.

Poor boys. All the grief there have to deal.

And I’m just sitting here. Kate, I feel so useless.

Thank you. And you’re right, defeatism be damned. There is definitely something I can do. You are in love with two women. That is quite a situation complicated, like you said, and obviously not tenable over the long term unless you’re into polyamory. Oh,

are you all right? Oh, I, uh, I think I just need some air. Shall I go with you? No, it, it’s okay. I, I’m not dizzy or anything. I just feel a little queasy, so. Be back.

Oh, I hope she’s, uh, gonna be okay. She’ll be fine.

You didn’t mention earlier that Ralph wasn’t able to erase your feelings for Chloe , his equipment malfunctioned before he could finish the p. Right. So if you are still in love with Chloe, you can certainly understand that it would be a terrible idea to reinstall Gabby as c e O. No, actually, I can’t.

Chloe just quit her job at Dira, and you want to make Gabby in charge of the entire company. In fact, you think that’ll burn a few bridges with Chloe? So in other words, keep things as they. With you in charge. With us in charge. Stephanie, we worked so hard to persuade the board to get rid of Gabby, to turn around now and tell them it was a huge mistake.

Not only would that undermine their confidence in us, it could send the stock price tumbling. We can’t take that risk. We need to stay the course. Hmm. I suppose you’re.

What are you waiting for? I have writer’s block Wolf. I swear to God I She is not helping. Could you give us a minute? Of course. Come on Gabby. I Gabby go, please

flock my ass. You know what? Me, listen, I’m sure Rayful wrappings up with roll soon, but I’m not sure how long it’ll be. So just don’t you go home. Try to relax. We’ll call you as soon as he’s done and we release him. Can you call me as soon as he’s done? As soon as they walk outta that door, I will, I promise.

Fine. Fine. I’ll get outta your hair, but please, please stay. Please. I will call you or brave will, but just try to relax. Okay? Not a chance. Not until I get my man. A love of my life.

Even if you can keep Gabby from divorcing me, won’t be much of a marriage. If she hates me and I’m in prison, I already told you I can make the criminal charges go away. How you gonna wave a magic wand? Make Ralph disappear. Don’t you worry, I have a plan, which I’ll put into motion when I’m hired. You’re hired.

So now what? Just sit back, relax, and leave the details to me.

Kristin Dira. Keep going, man. You’re on a roll. Is this not enough? No, it’s not. You want to avoid prison? You give me everyone you’ve got.

Stephen, I thought you were looking forward to us working together. I am. I just, I still feel terrible about what we did to Gabby. You evidently do not, she’s an outsider and I feel very strongly that Dara Enterprises should be run by der. Hmm. As far as one of them’s you, Stefan, I know that you were upset that I didn’t speak up sooner about the brainwashing, but you said that you would forgive me if I was able to put you back in your rightful place as coce O.

That was what you wanted, what you were excited about. It wasn’t until after Gabby forced you to submit to deprogramming that you started. Now that it’s been done, I wish that it had happened months.

For my role that I played in preventing that. Once again, I am very sorry and I’m very grateful that you have forgiven me.

I hope that you were sincere when you said you had. Yes, of course. All is forgiven. Well, I wouldn’t be going into business with you now, would I?

Gabby, I’m glad I ran into you. Are you? Yeah. I thought you’d want an update. Rolfe is back in Salem, and Stephan’s feelings from me have returned. He’s manly in love with me again. So then what are you doing here? Why aren’t you with him? Well, because we’ve had a minor complication. It, nothing that can’t be fixed.

In fact, I’m on cloud nine right now. Can’t you tell? Because I very soon will have my real husband back.

Chloe. Chloe, are you in there? Knock again. Scared me. Anna. Hi. Um, what, what, what are you doing here? I thought you could use a mediator, a woman well versed in the trials and tribulations of romance, just to keep your conversation with Chloe on the right track. Okay, . Thanks for that. Um, I don’t think she’s here though.

I think she’s on an errand or something. Oh, well, that’s too, no, it’s perfect. That’s perfect. When Chloe comes back, she’ll be in for the most wonderful surprise. What do you mean? Well, you just wait right here and I’ll be back in the chair.

Much better. Okay. It’s time to go.

Oh, oh God. Maybe it wasn’t a good idea to stand up.

Who’d you? Well, from a very nice gentleman at the front desk, I told him, you two love birds were getting back together. And, uh, that you’d lost your key card , and he just handed it to you. Well, he is a romantic. Bless the hundred dollars. I slipped him. Probably helped. And, uh, come on. No, come on, just go on inside Brady.

Once Chloe walks back in and finds the love of her life waiting for. She’ll be overjoyed. Yeah. I’m not so sure she’s gonna be down with the whole breaking and entering thing. I told her I’d give her space. Anna, she doesn’t want space. Brady, she wants you now open that door.

What? Um, yeah, I, I just, I, I, I thank you for carrying Anna. I just don’t think you need to be here, . I don’t have anywhere better to be . Sorry to hear that. I appreciate the encouragement, but Chloe and I, we don’t need a mediator or anything. Okay. But how about a videographer? Mm-hmm. . Look, I can record the happy reunion for posterity and look around.

We don’t even have to tidy up. Chloe is obviously a new freak. Yeah, she’s, wait a minute, where is all her stuff? Drawers are empty.

Bathroom’s cleaned out and I don’t see her suitcase, so that means that means she’s gone. But where too? Well, if I knew that. Damn it. So Stephan’s feelings for you are back, but he’s still not sure. You’re the woman. He wants . Why stop gloating. Okay, this is just a minor setback. I don’t even know what the hell I told you about it.

You were venting. I understand. Well, I should have vented to somebody who hasn’t made my life miserable. You know what, Rolf, when he finishes this procedure, he’s gonna make stuff and want me and only me. I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Of course you wouldn’t because you’re spiteful, cynical, and jealous as hell.

I will never want you again. Le Ro is ratting you out to the cops as we speak, meaning you should be on your way to Statesville very soon. I wouldn’t be so sure about that either.

Good. Just need you to sign on the dotted.

Don’t sign that statement. Who are you? Sloan Peterson, your new attorney?

You Nicole. What’s going on? Ah, Nothing. EJ and I did a little too much celebrating last night. Okay. Well it’s, it’s 5:00 PM and you’re still hungover. Well, it was quite a night. I’m fine. Are you okay to walk? Well, I’m not getting in the car with you if that’s what you’re suggesting, because I can smell beer on your breath.

I’m just gonna offer to call you a cab. I got it

where my phone is. Damn. Oh. Oh. You know what? Maybe, maybe I left it in AJ’s bed. Listen, I’m happy to help you. I can take care of myself. Thank you very much.

Thank you for being willing to put my deception behind this brother for being reasonable and understanding. Not exactly the damer we know. Is it ? Perhaps it might be the new way. Perhaps. Hate to see this tea go to waste. Can I enter you in a. Sure. Great. Sure.

You good, brother? Enjoy.

Jack: As wonderful as it has been having breakfast with you, I do have to get to the office.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] And as much as I’ve enjoyed this time together, I need to get to work eventually, too. But the first thing I need to do is go back to the hotel and get a change of clothes.

Jack: Well, that’s awfully inconvenient. I know it’s early in our relationship, but you are more than welcome to leave a few things here. I just hate that you have to race to the hotel any morning that you decided to spend the night.

Diane: Well, that’s a great idea, but I’m a little concerned how kyle will react.

Jack: Oh, I think a couple changes of clothes are not going to alarm kyle. Besides, we can be discreet. We don’t have to flaunt it.

Diane: Alright, you’ve convinced me.

Jack: Okay. I have one errand before I go in, so why don’t you go get your things, bring them here, and I’ll help you get them upstairs before I go to jabot.

Diane: Okay. Ah, you know, I have to admit, this is making me a little nervous. Are we tempting fate to be this happy?

Jack: This time, fate is on our side.

Diane: Mm.

Jack: Got to go.

Sally: Yes, yeah, this afternoon works perfectly. Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I really appreciate you squeezing me in for an appointment so soon. Yeah, yeah, I’ll see you then.

[ Sighs ] Okay. Okay. I… I will call nick and see if he’s available. That will be fine. Then, after that… I will call adam.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: They have no idea what it takes to make things really happen.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] We do.

[ Bottle uncorks ]

Victoria: That’s damn right we do.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: What’s up? Oh, sorry. Didn’t mean to startle you. Are you….okay?

Victoria: Yes, I’m fine. Everything is great. I was just thinking about the brainstorming session that I had last evening with nate. We were talking about our plans for pursuing daniel’s gaming platform and strategizing for taking over tucker’s company. Well, once newman can assume his loans and control his debt…

Nick: Tucker’s just going to fold under the pressure.

Victoria: Yes, he just might.

Nick: You sound awfully sure of yourself, vick.

Victoria: Well, no one has ever benefited from underestimating me. I know, I know that things could get ugly, but nothing worth taking is ever easy.

Chloe: Hi. I got your text message. What’s the emergency?

Sally: I told nick everything.

Chloe: Everything? As in, adam could be the baby’s father?

Sally: Yeah.

Chloe: How did he take it?

Sally: Better than I could’ve hoped. He was sweet and understanding, as always, and he claimed it didn’t change anything between us.

Chloe: Okay, well, if nick is saying and doing all the right things, then why are you so concerned?

Sally: Because what if he’s only doing everything right because he feels like he has to? Maybe he’s just hedging because the baby might be his, but if that’s not the case and the father is actually adam, nick could walk away.

Elena: If only you could take a personal day off from work and stay home with me.

Nate: Ah, I’m so tempted. Believe me, I’d love nothing more. And I’ve missed you, too. But you’ve already made me a little late.

Elena: Aw, don’t tell me you regret our little interlude.

Nate: Not even a little bit. But I have a lot going on at work today, and I need to get to the office.

Elena: [ Clicks tongue ] Okay. Well, it could’ve been fun doing all your favorite things.

Nate: Mm, you need to stop tempting me. But hold that thought, because I promise you, this weekend will just be you and me. We’ll have a romantic getaway. Okay? No work, no phones, no late-night shifts. Just us.

Elena: Okay.

[ Door opens ]

[ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, now. My goodness. Jack abbott. Should I be hiding the silver and the jewelry and all that? I mean, now that you’ve resorted to becoming a thief to become relevant.

Jack: I didn’t come here to play your games, victor. I came here to offer a word of warning.

Victor: Oh, really? Well, you have a lot of nerve, man. I could turn you into the authorities.

Jack: I’ve been made aware of your plot to undermine adam’s work at jabot. Additionally, you’ve tried to enlist my son in your effort.

Victor: How’d you learn that?

Jack: Doesn’t matter how I found out. You may have lost your own son. I will be damned if you use mine for your little underhanded plot. I brought in ensure max protein

Victor: Hate to disappoint you, jack, but I have no intention of undermining my son, adam. He’s doing a very good job all by himself. But you and I know that he doesn’t belong at jabot. He’s doing a terrible job there. Which does not speak very well for you as a mentor and a boss. How would you allow someone to perform at a subpar level?

Jack: You seem to be privy to inside information.

Victor: Instead of coming here and leveling unfounded accusations against me, why don’t you go home and try to somehow salvage that train wreck of a relationship between you and diane jenkins? Although, I must say, I love watching it all go up in flames.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Elena: Tessa.

Tessa: Hi. Uh, do you have a shift you have to get to? Or bed, maybe?

Elena: No, I just finished my night shift. Come on in. I’ve always got time for a friend.

Tessa: Thank you.

Elena: So, what’s going on? Is everything okay with mariah? The baby?

Victoria: What is going on with you? You’ve been distracted for days.

Nick: Nothing for you to worry about. Everything’s fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] You know, you can’t hide from me. I can tell that something is weighing on you. Maybe I can help.

Nick: I’m not denying there’s something on my mind. There just isn’t anything you can do about it.

Victoria: Well, judging by the way that you’re shutting me out, I can only assume that this has to do with sally.

Nick: I guess you weren’t listening when I said it doesn’t concern you.

Victoria: I don’t understand. Why would you be involved with somebody that completely alienates you from the rest of your family the way that sally does? You know, after what I went through with ashland, I know how damaging and painful something like this can be. And the fact that you won’t even talk about it maybe is a sign that it shouldn’t be happening in the first place.

Nick: I’m not talking about this with you or dad. Sally is off limits.

Chloe: You need to just trust in nick. Whether or not the baby is his, I don’t believe for a minute he would treat you any differently.

Sally: Well, when I told him about adam, he said that the possibility had already occurred to him. He wasn’t completely caught off guard, but then he left almost immediately. But he claimed that he had to get home to christian.

Chloe: Oh, well, yeah, of course he did, because he’s an amazing father.

Sally: Yeah, but that’s the problem. What if he’s not my baby’s father? What if adam is?

Chloe: Okay, don’t even entertain that thought. It’s just not worth it.

Sally: How can you say that? Ignoring that reality is just stupid and naive. If adam is the father, it changes everything, especially between me and nick.

Chloe: I just don’t think it’s that cut and dried with nick. It’s not who he is. He won’t walk away.

Sally: Regardless, I can’t take any more of this. Seriously, this tension is driving me crazy. I called the dna lab before I texted you. The paternity test is set for this afternoon. They’ll just draw some blood for me, and then they will need to take a swab from the potential fathers. Nick…and…adam.

worst nighttime symptoms

Chloe: You can’t tell adam about the pregnancy. That would be a mistake.

Sally: You don’t know that. And adam is an amazing father to connor, and he already makes the co-parenting thing with an ex work with chelsea.

Chloe: Well, better safe than sorry when it comes to someone that impulsive and unpredictable.

Sally: I can’t have this uncertainty hanging over my head. I just need to get it all out in the open and deal with it. So I just need your help trying to figure out what to say to adam. How do I tell him?

Chloe: Okay, let’s just slow down for a second and let’s really think this through.

Sally: If adam is the father, I have to tell him.

Chloe: Okay, I… I understand that. But let’s not forget that there is a very good chance that he’s not. So you should do the test with nick first, and if he’s the father — and, please, god, let that be the case — then adam never even needs to know that there is a possibility that he could be the father.

Sally: And if it’s not nick’s baby?

Chloe: Well, then and only then, do you even consider bringing adam into the equation.

Sally: But is that really fair to adam, letting him be the last to know?

Chloe: No. In most cases, it wouldn’t be, but adam only recently stopped stalking you.

Sally: Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. He was… more of a pest.

Chloe: Okay, whatever you want to call it. But if adam knows that there was even a chance that he could be the father, even if the test shows that nick is the dad, adam will use it as an open invitation. And the last thing you need right now is giving adam an excuse to come storming into your life.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Both sigh ]

Nick: Hey, chloe.

Chloe: Hi, nick.

Nick: Hi.

[ Door closes ]

Chloe: Um, well, it looks like you’re in good hands, so i will leave you to it and, um… just know if you need anything, anything at all, just shoot me a text.

Sally: Thank you.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Nick: She is a good friend. You’re lucky to have her.

Sally: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: So there mariah and i were, about to hop on the next flight after delphine called us because she told us she was going into labor.

Elena: So she wasn’t?

Tessa: No. We were headed to the airport when she called us again and told us it was, um, uh, braxton hicks, a false alarm?

Elena: Ah, no, that’s very common. And since the baby’s do any day now, you can just think of it as a dress rehearsal for the real thing.

Tessa: Which I’m thankful for, because, you know, we want to be there when the baby is born.

Elena: I hope it works out for you guys.

Tessa: Thank you. But, honestly, it really freaked me out. It made me realize that something could go wrong during the birth. And I know this is probably just residual anxiety because of mariah and dom, but I just have to hear it from a professional. Is there anything I can do to ensure that the baby’s going to be okay?

Jack: I’d like to think you have better things to do with your time than worry about my personal life.

Victor: If I were you, i would start worrying about yourself.

Michael: Oh.

[ Clears throat ] What is that I detect in the air?

Victor: Nothing, nothing at all. Everything okay. Right, jack?

Michael: Um, I need to have a word with you, but if I need to go and come back —

Jack: No, no, don’T. Don’t worry. I’m leaving. But not before I offer one last warning. Stay out of jabot’s affairs, even if they include adam. You lost him as an employee and a son. That’s on you. Maybe you should make peace with that.

Michael: Wow.

Victor: Have a seat, michael.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Victor: So? Any more news about tucker mccall?

Michael: As a matter of fact, there is. I’ve been doing some more digging into his loans. The man is in quite a lot of debt, or, actually, his company is. And as you’d hoped, buying up mccall’s loans will give newman quite a bit of leverage, but, unfortunately, not outright control.

Victor: Hmm.

Michael: That’ll take a little more convincing, and, as you and I both know, tucker’s not easily intimidated.

Victor: You know, I love a challenge, and I’m looking forward to dealing with that S.O.B.

Tucker: Uh-oh, there she is. Where are you headed off to now? Is that your escape bag? Is your partner in crime stark back?

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Tucker: You know, it’d be so ironic if you were to leave town right after phyllis. I bet she would — she would hop on the first flight back here asap if she knew you were going to be gone for good.

Diane: Whatever. And I am sorry to disappoint you, but I’m not going anywhere. My life is more on track now than it’s ever been. Although yours, not so much. Oh, hey, where is ashley these days? Oh, that’s right. She fled genoa city for paris just to get away from you. Sad.

Tucker: Yeah, I think she’s going to be back pretty soon.

Diane: Mm.

Tucker: But I’m happy to hear that your life is back on track, as you say. But it’s a happiness that’s yours to lose.

[ Hums indistinctly ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] (Vo) morning, noon, night.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Elena: The first thing I want to tell you is I think that it’s great that you already want to protect the baby. It’s a very natural maternal instinct. Now, I’ve got some good news and some bad news for you. The bad news is that there’s not really much that you and mariah can do outside of just being there for delphine when the time comes. So the best thing that you can do is be on standby and be ready to be the best mothers that you can be.

Tessa: Is there anything else you can suggest?

Elena: Well, that’s where the good news comes in. You can stop worrying. The probability of having a complication during a full-term delivery after a healthy pregnancy is very low.

Tessa: Oh. Thank god.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Tessa: I guess I just have to keep reminding myself that delphine is giving birth in a hospital under perfectly normal circumstances.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Exactly. So you have no reason to think anything is going to go wrong. So, tell me, are you and mariah preparing to go to portland?

Tessa: Yes, we are going to be leaving soon. Mariah has some loose ends to tie up at work so that she can work remotely while we are waiting for the baby to come.

Elena: Great. Alright, so you want to tell me what else is going on? ‘Cause it’s very clear that you’re still holding something back.

Tessa: Mariah’s been pregnant before, so she’s familiar with what’s going on. And delphine is carrying the baby, and she’s had nine months to prepare for childbirth. And then there’s me who is completely unprepared for childbirth and…motherhood.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Hey.

Diane: Hi.

Jack: Did you get everything?

Diane: Yeah. Mm.

Jack: So if you need a toothbrush or anything like that, I can certainly accommodate you.

Diane: I appreciate your hospitality, but I think I’ve got everything.

Jack: What about your stuff in L.A.? I’m guessing you left a lot of possessions there. I could arrange to have it sent for and stored here, if you like.

Diane: Um, thank you, but — but no, no. My years in L.A. Hardly feel real to me anymore. I mean, I know that’s where i healed, but I don’t really have a connection to that time. I mean, whatever’s left there is just stuff, and I think those things belong right where they are.

Jack: Then they should stay in california.

Diane: Tell me, jack, is it wrong to be this happy, especially knowing no one else will be happy for us?

Jack: The people that care about us, the people that love us will come around. The rest don’t even matter.

Diane: Mm.

Tucker: Hey, ashley, it’s me. I assumed that you let it go straight to voicemail ’cause you’re seeing it’s me calling. I get that. The reason I’m calling is I’m wondering if you would give me the opportunity to clear the air between us. There’s a lot of things I want to tell you, and I want to come clean about every aspect of my situation, because I want you to understand why… why the subterfuge, as foolish as it was. So I’m wondering, would you be willing to meet me if I came to paris briefly? We’d just have lunch and chat, but that’s all I ask. Alright, bye.

[ Cellphone thuds lightly ]

Nate: I was, um, just about to come see you. Is this a good time?

Victoria: I’m on my way back to my office right now. Do you want to walk with me?

Nate: Okay, um, I thought it might be a good idea if we clear the air about, uh —

Victoria: Our brainstorming session last night. Um…yes. You know, I was very invigorated by what we accomplished.

Nate: Yes, uh, I thought it was a productive meeting, too.

Victoria: We should have more meetings like that. Don’t you think?

Sally: First of all, I just wanted to see how you were doing. I wasn’t really sure where things stood whenever you left last night.

Nick: I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about it all the time, but, sally, it doesn’t change anything. I’m with you, just like I promised.

Sally: That’s the thing. I don’t understand why. The only explanation that I can come up with for you supporting me is because the situation forces you to, like, the baby that I’m carrying might be yours, but what if it’s not?

Nick: Do you not understand how I feel about you yet? Look, I appreciate you telling me the truth about adam, that he may be the father, but… I know it was hard for you. It just makes me respect and appreciate and care about you even more. As far as the paternity of the baby goes, sally, we’ll just cross that bridge when we come to it.

Sally: Well, I had to tell you I couldn’t wait another second. I can’t deal with this uncertainty any longer, which is the main reason why I asked you to come right away. I scheduled the dna test for today. How do I love thee?

Nate: I agree. Our brainstorming session was very productive. We should have more of them. We could potentially lay a clear and lucrative path to the future.

Victoria: On a purely professional level, of course.

Nate: Of course.

Victor: Hello. Hello, nate.

Nate: Hello.

Victor: Nate, would you mind if michael and I had a conversation with victoria alone?

Elena: While I haven’t had any firsthand experience with pregnancy, either, I have worked with a lot of mothers, and I can tell you that what you’re experiencing is very normal. In fact, I have yet to meet any first-time mothers, biological or otherwise, who haven’t at one point or another felt, on some level, completely overwhelmed and unprepared for what’s next.

Tessa: Yeah, I mean, it’s pretty terrifying thinking about all that responsibility.

Elena: There’s nothing trivial about taking care of another life, especially a newborn, because it can’t do anything for themselves. You know, they only can communicate by crying instead of talking. They need to be carried. They need to be fed. They need to be changed. But I have no doubt you have everything it takes to be a great mother.

Tessa: But I have no idea what to do.

Elena: Yeah, and there are some skills that you’ll have to develop, like changing diapers and feeding and setting a sleeping schedule. But then there are going to be things that are pure instinct, like loving and caring and nurturing. And those are all things that you are very familiar with. Tessa, I’ve seen how amazing you can be. I remember when mariah was struggling with giving dominic to abby. You were her rock. You comforted her, you loved her, and you helped her get back to the amazing person that she is. And the way I see it, you coming here, it just proves that you’re ready.

Tessa: What do you mean?

Elena: Coming to me, hoping to find any way possible to shield your daughter from harm even before she’s born. That little baby is going to be beyond lucky to have not only one, but two of the strongest, most loving women as her mothers.

Adam: Hey, chloe, wait. Can — can you just give me one second?

Chloe: Why would I want to do that?

Adam: Look, chloe, I realize that you hate me, and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon, but you know me as well as anyone, for better or worse, and I know you care about sally. I’m genuinely concerned about her right now. You must see that.

Chloe: All I see is you trying to worm your way back into her life.

Adam: Listen, come on. I know that something is wrong. And don’t tell me that she’s worried about your new business venture or this — this lame line that nick was giving me, that she’s uncomfortable being around the both of us. Sally’s much tougher than that. This is something new. I mean, is she unhappy with nick? Is it not working out between the two of them?

Chloe: [ Scoffs ] Why are we doing this again? And why are you meddling in sally’s life? Hasn’t she made it perfectly clear that she wants nothing to do with you? And what more do nick and sally need to do to convince you that what they share is real? I mean, they are bonded together now.

Adam: Bonded? How?

Chloe: I mean, even if things with nick weren’t amazing, which they are, why would sally want you? Don’t you have something else to obsess over? I mean, don’t you have a job, or do you not have actual responsibilities? Or, hmm, was it just a pity handout to keep you off the streets and out of trouble? I never get tired of this.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Jack: I wonder who that could be.

Adam: Jack, uh, I hope now’s not a bad time, but I need to speak with you about jabot.

Jack: Uh, can you give me a minute?

Diane: I will make myself scarce, but we will continue this later.

Jack: Come on in. Everything alright?

Adam: Um…

Jack: Something wrong?

Adam: No, I just — I wanted to speak with you about my potential future in the company, you know, before things get potentially ugly with victor and kyle.

Jack: Oh, wait, now, let me stop you right there. I don’t know where you’re getting your information. I spoke to kyle at length, and he assured me he had no part in victor’s little scheme.

Adam: Okay, well, I’m not so sure about that, jack. I spoke to people at the company, and it turns out kyle has looked into some of the projects that I’m directly overseeing. Now, I understand they haven’t turned out to be successful ventures, as we hoped, but that is not public knowledge.

Jack: I spoke to victor earlier. He did seem to know an awful lot about your diminished performance.

Adam: Yeah, I’m sorry about that. I’m working on turning things around. But regardless, I think it’s pretty clear that your son is lying to you.

Nick: [ Clicks tongue ] I am surprised you scheduled the dna test so soon. Have you talked to adam yet?

Sally: No. And after speaking with chloe, I’ve decided that I am going to tell adam only if I have to.

Nick: Meaning if I am not the father.

Adam: I just don’t invite that chaos back in my life if I can avoid it. Right now, things are good, and I need to hold onto that for as long as I can, so I thought I would start with just testing your dna.

Nick: Well, it’s your decision to make. I will support you no matter what.

Sally: If we’re really in this together, I need you to be completely honest with me.

Nick: Have I ever been anything but?

Sally: No, and that’s what I’m counting on. How would you feel if I told adam that he could potentially be the father even before the test? Is that what you want?

Nick: Um… I’m okay with it in the sense that it is not my decision to make. As far as adam knowing, I absolutely do not want him to know. I hope he never has to know. I’m just trying to do the right thing here. But when and if you decide to tell him, just know I will completely have you back.

Sally: Well, thank you so much for being understanding. It means everything to me. If you’re free, would you mind coming with me to the testing center so they can swab you to see if you’re a match? Then we can know for sure. And maybe we could put this whole issue to rest sooner rather than later.

Nick: I’ll make time for that.

Tessa: Thank you for your kind words and your faith in me. It is exactly what I needed to hear.

Elena: Well, it was all true. Every word.

Tessa: I wish we could bring you to portland with us, if only for advice and pep talks.

Elena: You have my number. You can call me any time, day or night.

Tessa: Thank you. So, what’s new with you? I can’t help but seem to notice how happy you are.

Elena: Is it that obvious?

Tessa: Yes. And I am just so glad that things are better for you.

Elena: Yes. Me, too. It was really tense with nate and i during his career transition, and, honestly, I wasn’t sure if we would find our way back to each other. But… here we are, making it work. And, yeah, I am indeed very happy. We both are.

[ Chuckles ]

Nate: Alright, then, I will, um, leave you to your meeting.

Victoria: Well, what is it that you wanted to discuss?

Michael: [ Clicks tongue ] It’s about the purchasing of the debt you and victor discussed.

Nate: I’ll check in with you later, victoria.

Victoria: No, nate, wait. You should be in on this.

Victor: Sweetheart, this does not involve newman media.

Victoria: Well, nonetheless, I think that nate should be in on our plan for tucker and our acquisition of mccall unlimited. I-I believe that he would be a valuable asset to our plan moving forward. Trust me, his input will benefit all of us, daddy. Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, my goodness. You beat me.

[ Laughter ] Wow. Thank you for meeting me at the last minute. Oh, yeah, sure. Not our usual meeting place. No. No, I just sort of needed the comfort and coziness of kelly’s diner tonight. Is everything all right? Well, I’m going to need you to step in for me tomorrow at the sanitation workers contract negotiation meeting. Sure. What’s going on, laura? A lot. I went to the hospital to attend britt westbourne’s memorial, and I found out that a very dear friend of mine died. Hey, are you thinking about charlotte? Mm. You two had a really nice visit. Yeah, it was all too brief. I would have liked to have seen more of her. Having her in my arms made me realize just what I’m missing. My girl’s growing up. They have a tendency to be that. [ Chuckles ] She’s very mature for her age, I think. You two seem to be getting along. She’s on to us, you know? You think? Yeah. I think she approves. Oh. Ooh. How’d it go? Oh. As planned. Yes. Charlotte’s safe? Charlotte is home with kevin at laura’S. Okay, good. That’s a relief. Yeah. Did something happen? Is there a problem? Well, other than victor, no. Uncle. Oh, spencer. Spencer, dear boy. What are you doing here? I was — I was just hoping to give liesl my condolences, but I’m too late. It was a nice memorial. I’m sure that britt would have approved. Liesl will no doubt be struck by the irony of the situation. What irony is that? That she and I are living in the same hell. The hell of losing one’s only living child. Oh, curtis, everything is so beautiful! I’m glad you like it. I love it. Oh, honey. Look at them. They look so happy. They deserve it. Are ready for the big day tomorrow? Absolutely. Portia and curtis should be celebrated. Yeah. Although I can’t help but wonder how your mom feels. Uh, you’ve been recognized away from the station and having fun.

[ Laughs ] Who says I’m having fun?

[ Gasps ] Wow! Really? Friendly fire. I thought we were cool. We are. I’ve got your back, partner. Always. You know, you were probably my most successful relationship. Back at you. And, you know, tomorrow, our exes are going to become partners for life. Portia: Have fun! Thank you. You’re off the clock. All right.

[ Laughter ] Uh, babe, I know you were disappointed that your mom’s condition prevents her from traveling. Well, of course, I’d love to have my family here, but that’s okay. As long as I have you, I’ll be fine. Yeah, that’s sweet. Well, I can’t disappoint my beautiful bride. Hey! Oh, my god! Daddy! Oh!

[ Laughs ] Aw, look at you. Zeke! Come here! Oh, my god! I don’t believe it. Your g randfather, huh? And my uncle ezekiel. Zeke. Is he a doctor, too? Oh, no. Uncle zeke went his own way. Okay. Come on, come on. I have someone for you to meet!

[ Squeals ] Oh, whoa, whoa, not so fast. Didn’t you just get here? Yeah. Hey, well, I’m sorry for blocking your escape, but I’m also so sorry for everything that you’re going through, elizabeth. Your break-up with finn. Oh, right, right. Yeah, it’s been, um, a rough couple of weeks for the whole family. Why, is something going on with the boys? Cameron — first love break-up. I know we all get through it eventually, but it’s a unique type of pain. Oh, yeah. I just wish I could take it from him. That’s so hard. Yeah. Well, he’ll get through it. He will. And I’m sure he knows that you’re there for him. But what if I can’t be? I can’t let you take her. Don’t worry. I’ll tell avery you said goodbye.

[ Grunts ] Nikolas? Nikolas, are you…? Please answer me.


I couldn’t let you take avery. I just wanted to stop you so I could… so I could reason with you. Nikolas? Please wake up. Anna devane is dead? Along with my granddaughter’s father, valentin cassadine. Are you sure about this? Yes. Valentin tracked anna to a paris catacomb, and then it collapsed. There are multiple fatalities. Whoever was behind this is responsible for a tremendous loss of life. You didn’t invite me out tonight to have a pity party, did you? Pity is not our style, but everyone we know is at the savoy. Celebrating the happy couple and toasting them. So I figured it was a great chance to go share a meal. Because I might feel what, taggert? Lonely? Jealous? Left out. Like me. Well, we could have gone. We were invited. But we declined, because it wouldn’t be right. Because you’re not over portia. Jordan, I’ve been over portia.

You are not over curtis. Uh, no, I’m not over wanting to protect him. What does that mean? Dr. Robinson, it’s so nice to finally meet you in person. Hey, tomorrow you’re going to be my son-in-law, curtis. Call me sterling. Sterling it is. I’m so glad that you and ezekiel both could make it. Yes. Thanks to you. And, uh, it’s zeke. No one calls me ezekiel except my mom when she’s mad at me. Which has happened, not just one, but maybe, I don’t know, 50 times.

[ Laughter ] Oh, okay. See, not even here five minutes and “sisteritis” rears its head.

[ Laughs ] Do want to hear what your fiancé did? Or you want to keep talking smack? Okay. Yes, yes, yes. I want to hear it all. Tell me everything. Thank you. So not only did this man arrange our flights last minute, he hired a caretaker to look after mom. He’s a keeper. Mom decided it would be best all around to sit this one out, and I’m sure she wishes them well. I know she wants curtis to be happy. Yeah. Still, I mean, it must be hard to see him move on. She’s only human. If we ever split up and you committed to somebody else, I… I don’t — I don’t know how I’d take it. Well, it’s a good thing you never have to find out. Because if we don’t work out, then I am joining a nunnery. That I can’t — I can’t even imagine.

[ Laughs ] But no relationship is infallible. You know what? Why are we even talking about this at your uncle’s rehearsal dinner? If it’s because I brought up your mom, then I’m sorry I mentioned it. No, no, no, we’re good. We’re good. I just want us to stay that way. Why wouldn’t we? Because we have something in common with why my mom and curtis didn’t make it. Speaking of doctors, where’s epiphany? Oh, uh… she’s out of town. Now that she passed her mcats, she’s checking out a few med schools on the west coast. Epiphany is moving? Maybe. Maybe not. Hopefully not. Trina, why are you hanging around me? Don’t you have a date tonight, or is he late?

[ Laughs ] You’re fun to hang around. Right. [ Chuckles ] And don’t worry. I didn’t invite spencer. I knew better than to bring him to a family event. Good call. Uncle, did something happen to valentin? He…died. My god. How? Drowned. In paris. I don’t understand. He drowned? What was he doing there? Was he on business? My son died putting others ahead of his family. Let that be a lesson to you, spencer. Friends may have their appeal. Women may… may have their uses, but in the final analysis, cleave only to your true family. Only a cassadine can really understand another cassadine. Heed these words, spencer. Lest you suffer the same fate as my son. Oh, please wake up! I didn’t mean it, you know? I just wanted you to stop you from taking avery. Are you breathing? Oh, god.

[ Knock on door ] Austin: Ava! Ava, you there? Ava, open up! It’s austin.


Now you know why I need you to step in. It’s just so upsetting. The loss of innocent life. And I believe that anna d evane was innocent. I think she was framed. Of course, now she’ll never have the chance to prove that, will she? And my little granddaughter. [ Gasps ] She is just bereft over the loss of her father. I’m sorry. I, um — why don’t we go over those contracts for the sanitation workers? Yeah, I’m, um… I’m not feeling very well myself. Could we tackle this in the morning? Well, of course, but do you think you’re going to be up to it? Oh, yes, I’ll be fine. I’m sorry about your friends, laura. Oh, thanks. Mission accomplished. Jordan, why do you feel you need to protect curtis? Just because we divorced our exes doesn’t mean we don’t still care. Yeah, me and portia still care about each other, but protecting her? That’s curtis’ responsibility now. Trina, that’s a different story. I’m always going to care about my baby girl no matter what. Well, you know me. Protecting everyone I care about is second nature. That includes you. I don’t need any protecting, no more than curtis does. Unless there’s something you’re not saying. You and I have always trusted each other with our lives, with our secrets. And I… hi, you two. Hi. I was just on my way to curtis and portia’s rehearsal dinner. I guess you two are not? Uh, not really feeling the moment. I saw you were withassistant mayor ashby. Looked intense. Anything I should know about? Oh, no. We were just going over some of the contracts for tomorrow’s meeting. And then she started to feel sick, and so she left kind of suddenly. Oh, well, I hope she feels better soon. I think things are likely to get worse for eileen before they get better. I hope that stella feels better soon. I heard that she was too ill to officiate at the wedding. You know mom wanted to be here more than anything, right? Oh, I know, I know. How’s she doing? Really? Is she having any side effects from the new medication, or…? Mm, she’s okay. She made me promise not to talk about her health with you. Of course she did. She just wants you to focus on your wedding and not worry about her. She, uh, sent you this. This is great grandmother’s brooch. Oh, no, no, no. I can’t accept this. This is far too valuable. She said you’d say that. She also said nothing is more priceless than the happiness of her only daughter. And I’m not wearing it, so you better.

[ Chuckles ] See ya. How can I thank you?

[ Laughs ] Now everything is going to be perfect tomorrow. What’s wrong? There’s been a slight hitch. But you know what? We got guests. It can wait. Okay, if there’s going to be a problem at our wedding day, I want to know. Curtis, tell me what’s going on. You know you can tell me. Yes, I am just hyper aware that time is fleeting and tomorrow’s not promised. I see spencer. He’s sensitive and kind. People just need to keep an open mind and give

him a chance. Sounds like your friendship’s been good for him. Just make sure the reverse is true. Curtis and my mom started leading separate lives. They let their careers take their focus. I just don’t want us to make the same mistake that my mom and curtis did. I mean, I miss you, but I still feel close to you. I feel the same. Promise me that we will always be vigilant about this. Promise. Okay. In fact, I can’t wait to get closer tonight. Please elaborate. Okay. I’m sorry, but I need to know, how close is the D.A. To nailing esme prince? Promise me you are commi ttedto this family, spencer. And to the f utureI’m trying to build four generations of cassadines to come. I am. I believe that there is a brighter future for the cassadine line. That gives me great comfort. I knew I could count on you to do what’s necessary. Well, you can. Starting with taking full custody of my little brother or sister. Austin: Ava?

[ Knocking ] Ava, are you in there? Ava, are you in there? Oh, hey, you’re here. Hey, doc. This really isn’t a good time. It’ll only take a minute. Maybe tomorrow. I’m on a business call. I can wait. You know, I really wasn’t expecting company this evening. Yeah, it’s really important. Will you please let me in? It’s really cold out here. You can wait in the sitting room. It’s, uh, upstairs and to the right. The staff has the evening off, so you’ll have to find it on your own. Go. Think, ava, think.


I hadn’t heard about stella being sick, but I worried this might happen. Stella has a history of health issues, and she was a little off when I saw her earlier today. Well, at least it’s nothing serious. I should get going. I hope you two have a wonderful evening. You too. Whatever this is, it really must have laid stella out. I can’t imagine her missing her nephew’s big day. I’ll call her. Maybe go and check in on her. See if she’s up for it. You know, it’s really good that you’ve kept up the relationship with curtis’ family. I’m grateful. Divorce doesn’t only affect the two people in the marriage. That’s how me and portia are. I mean, we have to for trina sake. And now that curtis is part of the equation, it’S… I mean, he’s — he’s a good guy. Yeah, he is. And so are you. And portia is a good woman. But sometimes good people get caught up — whoa, whoa, hold up, jordan. I know why you feel you got to protect curtis. You do? It’s because of portia’s lie. Why didn’t you tell me about aunt stella earlier? I was wondering why she wasn’t here yet. Auntie didn’t want to ruin tonight. And she feels awful about tomorrow. Aw, babe. And I know how badly you wanted her to officiate. Listen, as long as I get to marry you tomorrow, nothing else matters. Best man! [ Laughs ] You got that speech locked down yet? Well, I still kind of on the fence whether I’m going to go funny or get all sentimental. Either works. As long as it’s from the heart. That’s the truth. I will do my best. But I’ll tell you what. The gift that he is most grateful for is you being at the wedding. Drew. I just wish I could give him the one thing he asked for. Hello to you, too. I thought the bride was supposed to be the one in overdrive. Yeah, I guess I — I guess I came in kind of hot, huh? You know what? It’s totally understandable, given everything esme has put you through. But I’m afraid the defense might try to plead it out, argue for reduced penalties, or even a dismissal of charges. Which means esme will be free to live her life and raise her baby. Diane agreedto be my counsel. Even ava offered to help. I have the support of my friends. But you’re — you’re making this move against your father now? After everything I said about putting others ahead of family? Yes, uncle. I heard the cleaving part. But my sibling is a cassadine, too. Arguably the only one worth saving. This baby represents the future that you are so passionate about. And shouldn’t we give the newest cassadine heir the best chance in life? Can you honestly say that that would be with my father or esme? Nikolas is desperate to raise this child. I don’t care what my father wants. Huh. Neither do I. I knew I was right to put my trust in you, spencer. Well played. This custody move is stroke of genius. Excuse me, curtis. You have an uninvited guest. I told him it’s a private event, but he says he needs to have a word. Okay, n’neka. Than ks.I’ll handle it. Don’t go far. Where would I go?

[ Both chuckle ] Brad? Oh, hey. Sorry to intrude, curtis, but my aunt asked me to stop by. For what? The occasion of your wedding. My aunt selina sends her warmest compliments.

[ Ava grunts ]

[ Horse neighing in distance ] I’m so sorry, nikolas. I did love you.


Laura told victorthe authorities contacted her, confirming our deaths, but how do we know that victor buys that? After victor was contacted by laura, he verified it with his people. Okay, well, that’s neat. It’s clean. For now. What next? So, as far as victor knows, you and anna are deceased. You’re ghosts. And what do ghosts do best? They get three sheets to the wind. That’s not a dad joke, by the way. Charlotte taught me that. Ghosts do love their “boos.” They also exorcise. Okay, stop. Stop. And how do they exorcise? With a vigorous haunting. Tell your auntie I appreciate the well-wishes. Thank you for the delivery. You’re welcome to stay for a drink. Thanks, but I’m really not in the celebrating mood. Right. Sorry about your friend. Yeah. Congratulations. Whew! It is windy out there. And there you are. Can you believe your big day is here already? How do you feel? Overwhelmed, but happy. Portia! I’m so glad you could come! Oh, me too. You look beautiful. Thank you. Um, especially now, uh, because we have a big favor to ask of you. I would love to officiate your wedding. Are you psychic?

[ Laughs ] No. Stella called me. She explained the whole situation. That’s my auntie. Always taking care of business. And the people she loves. Thank you so much. That takes a real weight off of our shoulders. We appreciate it. Oh, it is my pleasure. And stella wanted you to know that she was very sorry that she wasn’t going to be able to make it. She didn’t sound that bad when I talked to her, but jordan seemed to think that it was just coming on all day. Jordan said that stella was sick earlier. Uh, yeah, she thought that it — she was worried that, uh… is something wrong? Oh, I think I’m just a little bit surprised. You know, stella seemed… she seemed fine when I saw her last. You know how, you know, those bugs can come on suddenly, you know? Yeah. Well, hey, let’s get a drink. Come on. Okay. You know, let me take a second with my mother’s gift. Sure. Okay. Okay? Well, I have to admit that I’m surprised you approve of me seeking custody. Although I’m glad that you do. Well, how could I not? Oh, I don’t just approve. I am impressed, spencer. This is a masterful move. It could be the key to finally getting your father to fall in line. Then you misunderstand, because this isn’t about getting my father to fall in line. This is about getting him out of our lives. Isn’t that what you want, too? Aren’t you finished with him? Oh, no one’s ever really finished with family. No, this is, um — this move is seamless. It builds on everything already in motion. It’ll take nikolas losing everything, including his baby, to force him finally back into the fold. You want to explain to me what’s going on here? Are you gonna call the cops? Is there any reason on this earth that I wouldn’t? Nikolas and I were arguing. He threatened to take my daughter. He said that he would use his uncle victor’s resources and I would never see avery again. And I — and I panicked. And I just grabbed the first thing that I could. And I — I hit him. I just wanted to stop him. But he fell, and he wasn’t breathing. So you put him in a closet and padlocked it? Can we — can we talk about that? Everyone will I think that I killed my husband out of revenge. Did you? No! I told you. I just wanted to stop him. I-I wanted to talk to him. He threatened to take my daughter! You think that sounds like a defense, but that sounds like motive. Despite everything, I loved him. I’m sure you did. All right, so he shows up here late at night, unannounced, uninvited, threatens to take your daughter. And I don’t know your track record with the truth, but with a great attorney, this could — no! You’re — you don’t understand. I killed nikolas. It doesn’t matter if I meant to. It doesn’t matter what any court might rule. I will be condemned and sentenced by victor cassadine.


What portia did, it hurt me. You know, it really hurt me. But, um… I’ve forgiven her. But trina. Of course it’s never easy learning that your parents are perfect. So, yeah, she was hurt. But she also understands that my behavior was part of it. Wait. How is any of this your fault? Jordan, I was never home. You and me, we were off doing undercover work all the time. I mean, my wife, she was lonely. She felt neglected. I get why you feel you got to protect curtis. You feel that if portia was unfaithful before, she could do it again. Actually, I believe portia genuinely loves curtis, and I’m certain that she would do anything not to lose him. Stella? It went straight to voicemail. Maybe you’re sleeping. But I just wanted to check in on you and see if you were okay. If you need anything, let me know. We miss you. What’s wrong, p? I know that look.

[ Sighs ] Nothing. Hopefully. Um, curtis’ aunt suddenly fell ill. And you’re worried? Not for the reason you might think. He asked me to perform at the c eremony. Drew, I don’t want to screw up on his big day. But that is highly unlikely, isn’t it? And as a wise man once told me, all that matters is it comes from the heart. This is my grandfather, dr. Sterling robertson. Granddad, this is curtis’ nephew, dr. Tj ashford. Hi. And his domestic partner, molly davis, esquire. Well, thank goodness for molly. We’re a little doctor heavy in this family.

[ Laughter ] Uh, excuse me. They’re playing our jam. Oh. Okay. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] All right. Oh, watch out now. What a dapper and distinguished gentlemen. Yes.

[ Indistinct chatter ] I would rather continue our conversation. Hm. You know the one about getting closer. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. Oh. So, uh, is everything okay? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just got a lot on my mind. Uh-huh. And would one of those things be nikolas? How did you know? What was going on at the hospital earlier? What were you arguing about? Years ago, mac, sean, and I devised a plan to outwit ryan chamberlain. I was already dead, so he thought. So I haunted him in order to get his confession on tape. And it worked. And you think since he worked on ryan, that it’d be worth trying on victor? We have way better technology now. But in a nutshell, the strategy is torment, guilt, and compel. It’s worth a try, don’t you think? I mean, I already recorded a message from the great beyond earlier, so… wait a minute. You knew about this plan? Yeah, I did. Don’t be so dubious. Just hear us out. Well, there’s one minor flaw. What’s that? Your plan will never work on my father. Uncle victor, there has been enough manipulation in this family. This is a baby. This isn’t leverage. Oh, come on, spencer. Everything’s leverage if used in the right way. Well, my gaining custody of my sibling serves a higher purpose. It is to save my little brother or sister from my father. Now, you keep telling yourself that as long as you like. But from where I’m standing, I’m seeing a man finally tapping into his natural born instincts. You know, before I saw you, spencer, I was really quite bereft. Now, thanks to you, I have hope again. Is there anything I can do to get you to walk away right now? I am a very wealthy woman, and you can have money. Ava — you can have this house. You — you can have the gallery. What would I do with a gallery? I know that we don’t know each other very well, but I think that we understand some things. And I hope that, despite my history, I hope that you know that this is not who I am. Not anymore. Would you just — would you just give me some time to leave town with avery? Just — just give me some time to leave with my daughter. I’m going to stop you right now. Ava, there’s nothing that you can say that would change my mind.


You are looking way too serious for a blushing bride. Oh. You know, it’s not too late to back out. Oh, daddy. If there’s one thing I’m sure about, it’s curtis. I like him. Not sure if he deserves you, but he’ll do.

[ Both laugh ] And you wouldn’t be in the least bit biased. Oh. Would you? Oh, no, no.

[ Laughs ] You know, you have done nothing but made me proud. You are every father’s dream. You and that little granddaughter of mine.

[ Laughs ] I’m sorry. I got to go watch this.

[ Cheering ] Come on now!

[ Laughter ] How does she do it? How does she do it? Hey!

[ Laughter, chatter ] Nice of you to take my call. Anna and valentin are dead. News travels fast. Yes, my son was killed. Anna and your son were looking for lucy coe. Is she dead, as well? You assured me nobody would die. I didn’t sign up for this. You act as though you have some choice in the matter, eileen. You don’T. You work for me. You knew there were risks. I’m out. I’m no longer at your disposal. That is not your decision to make. You cross me, eileen, and getting caught will be the least of your worries. If you ‘re hoping to elicita confession from my father by playing on his guilt, you’re going to be disappointed. Yeah, you can’t shame the shameless, I suppose. Which is why I had to adjust the plan this time. Which part? The guilt part, the torment part, or the compel part? Oh, that all stays the same. I’m talking target. It’s not victor.

[ Static ] Anna: You’re next. You’re next, eileen. You’re next. You’re next. You’re next! Ava, I don’t belie vethat you wanted nikolas dead. Are you saying you’ll wait to report this? I’m saying I have no intention of reporting this at all. Why not? I’m not really clear on that just yet, but it feels right. And you helped me out when you didn’t have to. I don’t know. We’ve been talking about this. Families are complicated, right? And if victor is going to kill you if he finds out, then the only solution is for victor to never find out. What about laura and spencer? How do I — how do I keep it from them? Nikolas is dead. I’ll help you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I have this terrible feeling about my mom and I don’t know what to do.

Brooke: I wanna help taylor. Whatever she needs.

Steffy: She’s just carrying so much shame and guilt. She says there’s only one solution. Only one way to get sheila out of our lives for good. Says she confesses about shooting bill.

Taylor: Sheila carter’s a free woman, but she’s far from innocent. However, she’s not the only one whose crimes should be brought to justice. I am, too. I’m the person who shot bill spencer.

Hope: Thomas, are you asking me to put aside every horrible thing you’ve ever done?

Thomas: No, I am asking you to see the amazing things we can still do together. L– like, if you don’t trust me, then– then, and then trust my talent, trust my vision, trust my ability to take hope for the future to new heights.

Thomas: My granddad and zende are both incredible designers.

Hope: They are. And they put a lot of effort into this collection.

Thomas: I’m sure that they did, but they don’t have the connection to the collection that I do. That you do. That– that– this is our collection! That’s what makes it so special. That’s what you said! Come on, we are an amazing team. One of the best this company– no, nay, this industry has ever seen. Bring me back onto the line. Bring me back on as lead designer, hope.

Steffy: It’s too much for her, brooke. What my mom did to bill, it goes against all of her values. Of course, she wants to turn herself in, but we can’t let her do it. Oh, my god, I can’t believe I’m talking to you about this.

Brooke: I would never do anything to hurt your mother. She can count on me, steffy.

Steffy: I’m glad that you two have found this friendship. I feel crazy saying this, but honestly, I feel as though you might be the only person who can get through to my mom now.

Taylor: Oh. I’m so sorry. I’m gonna make this right.

[ Taylor sniffling ] What happened to you? Talk.

Thomas: You still have reservations.

Hope: That can’t surprise you, thomas.

Thomas: I disappointed you. I let you down.

Hope: Not just me. Our son. Your family.

Thomas: That was never my intention, and I’m so sorry.

Hope: Thomas, apologizing isn’t going to fix this. The damage has been done. I mean, I can’t believe you thought faking that cps call was going to destroy my mother’s marriage, and then send ridge running back to taylor, and–

Thomas: I was trying to give my mother the life she always wanted, okay? And that’s not an excuse, I’m not trying to justify what I did.

Hope: Thomas, don’t you realize that by you doing that, it completely destroyed the progress that you were making in your relationships with me, with your family, and most importantly, with your son.

Thomas: I– I never wanted douglas involved in this.

Hope: Well, he asked you to tell the truth, and you refused, and then you encouraged him to lie. So.

Thomas: I have thought about that every day since, okay? I haven’t just been sitting around waiting for all of this to pass. I’ve been working on myself, and been working through my issues. And not only that, I’ve been putting my time into things that I think are beautiful, and– and trying to be productive. And I’ve been creating these designs. That’s what’s come out of it, the– some of the best work that I’ve ever made! Bring me back on, hope, and those designs will be hope for the future’s next collection.

Hope: At this point, thomas? I mean, your promises don’t mean any more than your apologies do.

Thomas: That’s– no, that’s not true, okay? Let me show you. Let me show you the work I’ve been doing. They exemplify the– the– the beauty, the respect. The admiration I have for you and your work. Come on, hope. I’m not all just bad inside. I can create something good. Tell me you still believe in me, s– just say you still have faith in me.

Hope: Thomas, you have made it very clear what you want and why I should consider it. And believe me, I have. I have been thinking about it, and– and what it can mean for us, for douglas and for my line, and I know you want to know what I believe. So, I think it’s only fair to tell you how I feel about you.

Brooke: Your mother trusts me, steffy. You can, too.

Steffy: So what do I do, brooke? I need your input, because nothing I’ve said to my mother has made a difference.

Brooke: She loves you. She’s your mom. She’s not ignoring you.

Steffy: But she has this whole situation all wrong. It’s not her fault sheila is free. Yes, shooting bill all those years ago, it was a terrible mistake. But if my mother turns herself in, that will be the biggest mistake of all. I mean, she was never even a suspect! No one even knew that she was in town. There was no evidence to connect her to the crime. So why won’t she let this go? My mom’s starting to crumble, brooke, and it’s– it’s really… it’s really starting to scare me. My mom’s always been, you know, he rock in our family. Even when she was halfway across the world, I knew that I could call her, and she’d always be there to help us and support us. That’s what she did, that awful night at bill’s house. She went there to confront him. She thought that she was protecting me. And now it’s my time to protect her.

Brooke: You don’t have to do it alone.

Steffy: My mom thinks if she confesses, that it’ll make my family safe, but it won’T. Sheila is out of prison, and bill will use every bit of his influence to make sure sheila never goes back. My mom’s only hurting herself if she admits to it.

Brooke: I agree. I told her the same thing.

Steffy: I need you to tell her again.

Brooke: Well, if she knows I’m here, if she needs to talk–

Steffy: No, it’s– it’s beyond that now. My mother is alone at the beach house. She is stewing in her feelings. That’s not good for her.

Brooke: Okay. Okay. I hear you. I will go over there and I will check on her. Okay? I’ll do everything in my power to save your mother from herself.

Steffy: Mom,

you’re only human.

Taylor: I did a really awful, unforgivable thing.

Steffy: Mom, we are not gonna go there.

Taylor: Steffy, as supportive as you and brooke have been, it doesn’t change the fact that I– I shot someone, you know? And I was never accountable for it. Now all the people I love more than life are in danger, and that’s on me. I refuse to be a burden to you anymore.

Hope: You say that you want to help, but what I believe, thomas, is that you just want to help yourself. And I admit, I did. I had a brief moment of weakness when I read that less-than-stellar review, and I panicked and thought maybe hope for the future did need you and your designs, but then your sister was the one who pulled me back from the brink.

Thomas: Okay. Steffy is furious with me, but she has never been as dedicated to your line as I am.

Hope: Well. Steffy reminded me that hope for the future is founded in integrity and responsibility, and if I were to throw those values out the window, it would do more damage to my line than a few bad reviews ever could.

Thomas: You’re not throwing integrity out the window! You are all about giving second chances and seeing the best in people.

Hope: I need you to understand. We’re done. We aren’t partners anymore. We aren’t a team. I mean, you aren’t even supposed to be in this building right now.

Thomas: Did steffy come to you and just, like, force you to keep me out of here? Because I can go to her right now. I can convince her to bring me back on.

Hope: Thomas. Stop. You have to let this go. I mean– I meant what I said before. I’m done giving you a– a second, third, fourth or fifth chance. I’ve learned my lesson, thomas, and… I just– I can’t give you the benefit of the doubt anymore.

Taylor: There’s only one solution to make this right for everyone I love. I have to end it all. Now.

Finn: Steffy!

Steffy: Oh, my gosh. I am glad you’re here.

Finn: Ah. If I’d known we were alone.

Steffy: Yeah, um.

Finn: What’s going on? Something wrong? Is it sheila?

Steffy: She’s behind it, but no. It’s, um, it’s my mom.

Finn: Yeah, well, is she here?

Steffy: No! No, I– I tried to get her to stay, but…

Finn: Well, she should be staying with us. I mean, it’s a lot safer with sheila roaming around.

Steffy: I– I explained that. But I don’t know, she’s just– she’s pulling away from me, from everyone, and I keep saying that we are all in this together, but she is– she’s determined to fix this herself.

Finn: You mean, like, confess?

Steffy: Yeah. She brought it up again. And I keep picturing my mom at the beach house with her phone in her hand.

Finn: Okay, well, that’s another reason why she needs to be here.

Steffy: She keeps turning me down. I get that she doesn’t want to put us in danger, interfere in our lives, but she is talking about herself like she is a burden to us.

Finn: Is she at her house? We should drop in.

Steffy: Brooke’s on her way there now.

Finn: Why is brooke going to see your mom?

Steffy: Because brooke’s just as worried about my mother as we are.

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Taylor? You home? It’s brooke. That’s strange. Lights are on. Car’s in the driveway. Oh. Really should keep the door locked with sheila on the loose. Taylor? You really need to keep the door locked. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

[ Hope sighing ]

Thomas: I wasn’t trying to make you insecure about the line.

Hope: Well, I’m not. There might be a few bumps in the road during the transition, but hope for the future will eventually be fine without you.

Thomas: Is that what you want? The collection to just be fine?

Hope: Thomas, I really think you should go now.

Thomas: Okay. What I did has nothing to do with the company. I shouldn’t be shut out for it.

Hope: Thomas, please.

Thomas: You didn’t feel this way the other day.

Hope: Sure, fine! Yes, for one nanosecond, I– I might have lost my way and let my insecurities cloud my better judgment–

Thomas: Okay, there you go. So, you see what it’s like to– to want something so strongly for the future and do anything you can to protect it.

Hope: Thomas, you are going to have to rebuild so many bridges. I mean, with me, with this company, with your son.

Thomas: I– I wanted to call and talk to him, but I just– I didn’t know what you would say.

Hope: We– we are going to have to have some difficult conversations about douglas and his future.

Thomas: Great. So let’s talk about that, then. Come on, I– I’m trying to find some common ground.

Hope: Thomas, I have so much work that I need to do, and I– I really can’t handle this conversation right now. I’ve said everything that I need to say.

Thomas: But you haven’t said anything. I need you to tell me something. Like, tell me what you want me to do.

Hope: Okay, thomas. I want you to leave. Please.

Steffy: My mom just feels so guilty right now. She gets emotional talking about it. I thought I might have a little more luck if I wasn’t there.

Finn: It’s just– it’s still– it’s just, it’s weird that brooke is reaching out to your mom.

Steffy: Well, they’re friends now. I mean, yeah, it– it is… it is weird, but–

Finn: Well, I mean, maybe it’s good, too.

Steffy: Look, my mom needs as many people in her corner as she can get right now. Finn, I just have an awful feeling about this, and I haven’t been able to shake it. My mom is reaching her breaking point, and I just pray. I pray that– that brooke’s able to get through to her.

Brooke: Taylor?

Taylor: I’ve been so grateful to be back in los angeles. Spending time with my family has meant everything to me. But my past has come out to me, and my actions have put my family in danger. I’ve kept silent for too long, and now the truth needs to come out, if only to save my family. There’s only one solution to make this right for everyone I love. This all has to end. Now.

Brooke: Oh. What are you doing, taylor?

Best Lines provided by Eva

Tucker: Hey, Adam. Been a minute.

Adam: Yeah, it has. Been staying out of trouble.

Tucker: That’s good. There’s just too many choices here. I can’t — I can’t make a decision. It’s impossible.

Adam: Well, everything’s delicious here, so you really can’t go wrong.

Tucker: What brings you here? Brownies? Sharon?

Adam: [Chuckles] Coffee.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Contemplation.

Tucker: Ah, yes, yes, yes. Are you meeting somebody or…?

Adam: Just me tonight.

Tucker: Cool. Well, in that case, let me buy you that coffee…and a brownie.

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

Adam: Thank you. Ah, well, look at us. “Genoa City’s villains get their just dessert.”

Tucker: [Chuckles] Ba-dum-bum.
Former villain.

Adam: Right. Well, at least nobody can accuse us of drinking coffee alone.

Tucker: Mm. The peaceful man… the peaceful man is frequently alone, but never lonely.

Adam: You don’t say.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. I’ll bet you haven’t had a night of peace in ages.

Adam: You would not be wrong.

Tucker: If you seek enlightenment…

[Clicks tongue]

Adam: I’m supposed to confess my sins and get some kind of absolution?

Tucker: Well, may I offer my own truths.

Adam: Knock yourself out.

Tucker: Perhaps you and I are here in this moment of time together ’cause we’re so alike. I have been trying to evolve. I’ve been trying to become the man I’m supposed to be, that i should be. And yet I continue to misjudge situations and underestimate the people in my life. I’d always believed that being honest was gonna hinder my cause for some reason, so I employed subterfuge. And it has bitten me in the ass.

Adam: You know, when you came back to town, you said something about reuniting with Devon and meeting Dom, maybe starting something up with Ashley again.

Tucker: Good memory.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And yet here you are, party of one. Ashley’s in Paris. She left rather abruptly. Pretty big surprise to everybody at Jabot.

Interview with Connor Floyd

TV Interview!

Connor Floyd of "The Last Deal" and "The Young and The Restless" on CBS

Interview with Connor Floyd of the movie “The Last Deal” and “The Young & The Restless” on CBS by Suzanne 2/3/23

It was great to speak with Connor! We had a fun – but brief – chat. He has a small part in this new movie, “The Last Deal,” which is an action thriller starring Anthony Molinari.  To be fair, everyone’s part in this is pretty small, aside from Molinari. The only other actor that has many lines in the movie is Mister Fitzgerald, who plays Bobby.  Connor’s role last for just a few minutes.  He’s a young actor, still building his resume. Right now most of his work is on “The Young & The Restless,” where he plays Chance. I was happy to speak to him about both the film and the show.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

EJ finds Stefan in the living room of the DiMera Mansion and asks him if everything’s alright. Stefan says he’s fine and asks why. EJ reminds him that it was supposed to be his first day back at the office as co-CEO. Stefan responds that he’s actually been having second thoughts about that which EJ questions. Stefan declares that he doesn’t think he should be in the job or that EJ should either.

Gabi goes to the police station. Jada tells her that Rafe is busy but Gabi demands entry in to the interrogation room now.

Rafe has Dr. Rolf in the interrogation room. Dr. Rolf complains that he has important work to do. Rafe tells him that he can get him out of here as soon as he flips on his partners in crime.

Li sits in the town square, on the phone calling someone an idiot for not keeping Dr. Rolf out of Salem. Li questions why he would calm down when he’s about to lose everything.

Brady enters the Brady Pub and finds Eric drinking a beer in the middle of the afternoon which he questions. Eric asks if Brady cares to join him. Brady declines, reminding him that he’s sober which Eric says he can respect. Brady thought Eric was sober too. Eric turns away but Brady stops him and says he’s just concerned, bringing up that he did just take a gun out of his hands. Eric argues that he was trying to get Kristen to tell them where the orchid was. Brady says he understands and he’s not judging. Brady talks about it being a horrific time for all of them and says they could all use support. Eric questions if he’s trying to get him to go to a meeting. Eric insists that he’s fine. Brady remarks on him solo day drinking. Eric argues that he just lost his mom and asks if he can blame him for having a beer to try to take the edge off. Brady talks about missing Marlena so much and she was always so good at helping them through the hard stuff. Eric questions how to go on without her. Brady says they lean on each other and that’s the only way. Eric hugs Brady.

EJ questions Stefan not being sure they should be co-CEOs when just yesterday, he was toasting their future. Stefan responds that he’s been doing a lot of thinking about how badly they treated Gabi. EJ asks if Stefan is feeling okay because it sounded like he expressed sympathy for Gabi. Stefan points out that they teamed up to oust Gabi from a job that she was doing very successfully, so he feels they made a mistake. EJ questions if Stefan wants to restore Gabi as CEO of DiMera Enterprises. Stefan calls Gabi a strong leader, smart, creative, and incredibly driven. EJ questions what the hell is wrong with him since he thought Stefan hated Gabi with every fiber of his being. Stefan says not anymore.

Jada tells Gabi that Rafe asked not to be interrupted. Gabi argues that she needs to speak to Dr. Rolf immediately. Jada brings up Gabi forcing Dr. Rolf to perform a medical procedure against his will. Gabi argues about Stefan being brainwashed and says it’s an emergency as Dr. Rolf needs to deprogram Stefan immediately.

Rafe tells Dr. Rolf that he’s not even sure where to begin with him since there is so damn much. Rafe brings up Dr. Rolf hiding Stefan DiMera from the world for four years and then brainwashing him, meanwhile Orpheus somehow managed to get his hands on a toxin that killed Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. Rafe brings up that Orpheus got that from a lab. Dr. Rolf argues that he did everything in his power to save the women. Rafe argues that he created the pathogen. Dr. Rolf says he didn’t infect anyone and worked to create an antidote. Rafe calls him a coward, not a hero. Rafe points out that Dr. Rolf gave Kristen the orchid right before they busted in to his lab. Dr. Rolf claims he had nothing to hide. Rafe questions if he fled overseas because he’s innocent. Rafe warns Dr. Rolf to start talking because this is going to be his last chance to avoid life in prison. Dr. Rolf asks who he expects him to implicate. Rafe says all of his accomplices, Kristen, and Li Shin. Rafe suggests starting with Li.

Li finishes his phone call after complaining that if Dr. Rolf flips, he’ll never get his job or his wife back and he could face life in prison. Sloan walks by and comments that it sounds like he needs a lawyer. Li responds that he already has one, but Sloan points out that she’s the best one.

Dr. Rolf comments on this being personal to Rafe. Rafe confirms that it is and brings up Li almost pulling the plug on Stefan. Rafe notes that if Kristen hadn’t showed up when she did, Stefan would be dead. Dr. Rolf remarks that he already was dead. Rafe argues that Dr. Rolf took Stefan’s dead brother’s heart and put it in his chest and then after stabilizing him, he brainwashed him because that’s what Kristen and Li wanted. Dr. Rolf claims not to know what he’s talking about. Rafe argues that he knows damn well what he’s talking about because he admitted everything to Gabi and then shot her full of something to make her forget. Rafe adds that unfortunately for him, Gabi’s memories came back to her at the wedding. Dr. Rolf questions what he needs him for if he knows all of this already. Rafe responds that Gabi’s word is hearsay and won’t hold up in court, so he needs Dr. Rolf to corroborate her story. Dr. Rolf responds that he cannot do that because he knows nothing about any of this. Rafe asks if he wants to go back to prison and guarantees there will not be any pardons this time. Dr. Rolf asks if Rafe is offering him a deal. Rafe says that will be up to the district attorney but he can guarantee that to get Melinda Trask on his side, he will need to give up Li Shin and all of his accomplices.

Sloan introduces herself to Li. Li notes her reputation preceding her. Sloan says she’s read all the stories about him in the tabloids. Li argues that the police have no evidence against him. Sloan gathers from his phone call that it could all change very quickly. Sloan advises Li to hire her. Li questions why she would want to represent someone who is completely screwed. Sloan says it’s money, so if Li digs deep in to the pockets, she will make all those charges go away. Li comments on if she handles divorces. Sloan questions him giving up already after just getting married. Li responds that he has no choice. Sloan asks what kind of attitude that is. Li calls it realistic as he doesn’t see any way of turning this around. Sloan suggests he think outside the box. Li says that’s how he got in to this mess in the first place. Sloan declares that now she’s going to get him out of it.

Gabi explains to Jada that Dr. Rolf only did half the job, so she needs him to finish deprogramming Stefan or he could get stuck this way forever. Jada suggests he can wait a week or two and all will be fine. Gabi argues that she can’t take that risk as everything is on the line. Gabi calls Stefan the love of her life and she needs him all the way back while he needs her to get him there.

Stefan explains to EJ that Gabi had knocked him over the head and dragged him in to the basement so that Dr. Rolf could deprogram him. EJ says he wondered where he was and figured he was hiding from Gabi. EJ tells Stefan that he’s sorry. Stefan understands he was oblivious. EJ confirms that he was and mentions that he and Nicole were up here drinking the cocktails that Stefan had poured to celebrate their alliance. Stefan then remembers drugging EJ’s drink which Nicole ended up drinking. Stefan remarks that he’s glad someone could enjoy them. EJ talks about how Nicole can usually handle her liquor but these drinks seemed to really hit her hard. Nicole then walks in and says the drinks still are hitting her hard but she has no idea why…

Eric asks Brady how Rachel is. Brady responds that she’s mad, confused, and angry at Chloe because she blames Chloe for Kristen having to go away. Brady says he’s tried persuading her otherwise to no avail. Brady asks about the women in Eric’s life. Eric responds that he and Jada are doing a great job of avoiding each other while he and Nicole are working on it. Brady asks if that’s what this is all about because he knows he still has feelings for Nicole and probably always will.

EJ checks on Nicole and comments that it really was some hangover. Nicole says she can’t seem to shake the headaches and nausea. Nicole argues that it doesn’t make sense since she only had a mimosa and champagne. Stefan says he’s sorry she’s feeling this way. Stefan decides he will have cook make her tea and toast. EJ thanks him and says they will finish their conversation as Stefan exits the room. Nicole sits with EJ and says she didn’t mean to interrupt. EJ tells her not to worry about it. Nicole tells EJ that she still feels so embarrassed about throwing herself at him yesterday. EJ repeats there’s no reason to be. Nicole knows they already talked but she understands if he wants to put the brakes on. EJ says not at all and he looks forward to taking her on the proper dinner that he promised her. EJ says tonight, she’s not feeling well and he has a fire to put out with Stefan. Nicole jokes about being familiar with fires like a dumpster fire as EJ hugs her.

Eric questions Brady saying he still has feelings for Nicole and calls that ridiculous since they are divorced. Brady brings up that it’s been 25 years and every time they split up, they find a way back together. Eric says not this time. Eric tells Brady that he and Nicole are over and moving on. Brady bets Roman doesn’t believe him either. Eric says no one believes him except himself and the woman he’s now seeing which he can live with. Brady questions if he’s talking about Sloan and if that’s a friends with benefits situation. Eric calls that exactly what he wants right now. Brady asks if he wants something shallow and meaningless without feelings like the ones he has for Nicole. Eric tells him to stop. Brady tells Eric to just admit that he’s fooling around with Sloan just to prove that he’s not still pining away for the love of his life.

Li admires Sloan’s confidence but says it all seems a little too good to be true as she can’t possibly deliver on her promises. Sloan tells him to try her. Li questions how she’s going to persuade Gabi to stay married to him. Sloan points out that Gabi hasn’t served him with divorce papers so she can’t be that eager to end their marriage and she thinks Gabi must be having second thoughts. Li explains to her about how Gabi pretended she wanted to get back together to get her hands on his burner phone to reach out to Dr. Rolf. Sloan suggests they deal with Dr. Rolf first and then they fight the divorce. Li argues that he can’t force Gabi to stay married to him. Sloan says he can and he just needs the right attorney.

Rafe tells Dr. Rolf to write down everything he can remember with the more details, the better. Rafe adds that if he gives him enough to put Li Shin away, then he might just earn a get out of jail free card. Gabi then walks in and tells Rafe that he has to let Dr. Rolf go.

Eric tells Brady that he has nothing to prove to anyone and that he’s moved on. Brady tells Eric to be honest with himself. Anna enters the Pub and tells Eric that she’s so sorry about his mother as she hugs him. Anna calls Marlena a remarkable woman and one of her dearest friends, so she can’t believe she’s gone. Anna brings up that Carrie is heartbroken and she feels for Roman losing his wife, his ex-wife, and his sister, so she came to send her condolences. Eric tells her that Roman isn’t here so Anna says she will come back later. Anna tells Eric and Brady to just ask if they need anything. Anna acknowledges that Brady lost his stepmother while the whole mess with Stefan and Chloe just seems to get crazier. Brady asks what she means. Anna realizes he didn’t hear about last night so Brady asks what happened. Anna explains that Chloe came by the DiMera Mansion to tell Stefan that they shouldn’t see each other anymore but then she got a call from Vivian, informing them that Gabi had Stefan held captive in the secret room in the basement which Brady questions. Anna adds that she and Chloe ran down there and found that Vivian was telling the truth as Gabi had Stefan tied up and rigged to a machine that Dr. Rolf was using to deprogram him. Eric questions Dr. Rolf being there. Anna says Gabi apparently tracked him down. Anna reveals that Stefan’s feelings for Gabi have been successfully rekindled. Brady asks if that means Stefan and Chloe are over. Anna says not exactly.

EJ fills Nicole in on Stefan being in love with Gabi again. Nicole says that certainly complicates things. Stefan returns and asks if they are talking about him. EJ says he was just filling Nicole in on last night’s events. Nicole still can’t believe she slept through that. EJ understands she was will. Nicole asks how Stefan is since what Dr. Rolf put him through is insane. Stefan admits he got nervous but he’s happy with the end result. Nicole brings up Brady and Chloe being her dear friends, so she’s glad that Stefan decided to let Chloe go. Stefan questions who told her that. Nicole points out that EJ told her that he’s in love with Gabi again. Stefan says that might be true, but there is an additional piece and complication which Nicole and EJ question. Stefan then reveals that he is also still in love with Chloe.

Rafe questions what Gabi is doing when he’s in the middle of an interrogation. Jada says she tried to stop her. Gabi says she can explain. Rafe tells Gabi that she needs to leave but Gabi refuses to leave without Dr. Rolf because he needs to finish fixing Stefan. Rafe says not until he agrees to testify and gives him a full statement. Dr. Rolf reminds Gabi that he cannot finish the process because his equipment was destroyed. Gabi argues that he needs to get new equipment and she doesn’t care how much it costs or what it takes because he needs to get Chloe Lane out of her husband’s head. Gabi then orders Dr. Rolf to start writing his statement.

Brady questions Anna about Dr. Rolf not being able to finish the process. Anna explains that his machine went out and smoke was coming out of it while Gabi yelled at him to do something and then the cops showed up and arrested Dr. Rolf. Brady asks if Chloe is okay. Anna says she’s not sure as Chloe got upset and ran out. Anna can’t believe Chloe didn’t tell him about this. Brady says he can’t either. Anna suggests Chloe didn’t tell him because tomorrow is Marlena’s funeral, but she does think she would appreciate some support. Brady pulls out his phone and calls Chloe but it goes straight to voicemail. Eric questions why he didn’t leave a message. Brady decides he’s going to the Salem Inn to talk to her in person. Eric wishes Brady luck as he then exits. Anna then notices Kate’s urn on the counter. Eric says Roman likes having her around as it gives him comfort. Anna relates to that but points out that the urn she used to carry around ended up not being Tony’s ashes so she jokes that Roman should have that checked out. Eric says he’ll let Roman know that she stopped by and that it was good to see her as he then exits the Pub. Anna comments on all the grief that they have to deal with while she’s just sitting there. Anna goes to the br and comments to Kate’s urn that she feels so useless. Anna then declares that there is definitely something she can do as she exits the Pub.

EJ questions Stefan being in love with two women and calls that quite a complicated situation. Nicole picks up a piece of toast but then decides she needs some air and she’ll be back. Nicole then exits. EJ hopes she will be okay. Stefan assures that she’ll be fine. EJ points out that Stefan didn’t mention earlier that Dr. Rolf couldn’t erase his feelings for Chloe. Stefan explains that his equipment malfunctioned before he could finish the procedure. EJ says if Stefan is still in love with Chloe, he should understand why reinstating Gabi is a terrible idea but Stefan says he doesn’t. EJ points out that putting Gabi in charge of DiMera would burn a few bridges with Chloe. Stefan questions keeping things as they are with them in charge. EJ says they worked so hard, so telling the board they made a huge mistake could hurt the stock prices and they can’t take that risk, so they need to stay the course. Stefan supposes he’s right.

Rafe questions what Dr. Rolf is waiting for. Dr. Rolf claims he has writer’s block and that Gabi isn’t helping. Rafe asks Gabi to give them a minute. Gabi tries to argue but Jada escorts her back out of the room. Gabi complains to Jada that Dr. Rolf hates her. Jada assures that Rafe will wrap things up soon and encourages Gabi to go home, promising to call as soon as they finish. Gabi agrees to go. Jada suggests she try to get some rest but Gabi says there’s no chance of that until she gets her man back. Gabi then exits the station.

Li argues that even if Sloan can keep Gabi from divorcing him, it won’t be much of a marriage if she hates him and he’s in prison. Sloan reminds him that she can make the criminal charges go away. Li asks how. Sloan tells him not to worry as she has a plan which she will put in motion when she’s hired. Li tells her that she’s hired and asks now what. Sloan tells him to sit back, relax, and leave the details to her.

Dr. Rolf writes down Li and Kristen’s names. Rafe encourages him to keep going. Dr. Rolf asks if this is not enough. Rafe says no and warns that if he wants to avoid prison, he will give him everyone he’s got.

EJ thought Stefan was looking forward to them working together. Stefan says he is, but he still feels terrible about what they did to Gabi. EJ calls Gabi an outsider and he feels very strongly that DiMera Enterprises should be run by DiMeras. Stefan says that’s as long as one of them is him. EJ brings up apologizing for not speaking up sooner about what was done to him, but reminds Stefan that being co-CEO is what he wanted and was excited about. Stefan wishes Gabi had him deprogrammed months ago. EJ apologizes again for his role in preventing that and says he’s very grateful that Stefan has forgiven him. EJ hopes that Stefan was sincere in saying he had forgiven him. Stefan claims that all is forgiven or he wouldn’t be going in to business with him.

Gabi walks through the town square and comes across Li. Gabi informs Li that Dr. Rolf is back in Salem and Stefan is madly in love with her again. Li questions why she isn’t with him now then. Gabi admits they had a minor complication but says it’s nothing that can’t be fixed and claims that she’s on cloud nine now because she will soon have her real husband back.

Brady goes to Chloe’s room at the Salem Inn and knocks on the door, asking if she is inside. Anna appears behind him and startles him as she suggests he knock again. Brady asks what she’s doing here. Anna responds that she thought he could use a mediator, a woman well versed in the trials and tribulations of romance, to keep his conversation with Chloe on the right track. Brady thanks her but doesn’t think she’s home. Anna calls that perfect since when Chloe comes back, she’ll be in for the most wonderful surprise. Brady asks what she means. Anna tells him to wait there and she’ll be right back.

Nicole sits outside in the park and has a drink of water, saying that’s much better. Nicole decides it’s time to go but then feels bad again and says maybe it wasn’t a good idea to stand up. Nicole starts to fall down as Eric rushes up and catches her.

Anna returns to Brady with a key card and explains that she convinced and paid off the front desk. Anna tells Brady to just go on inside and then when Chloe comes back home and finds the love of her life waiting for her, she’ll be overjoyed. Brady isn’t sure that Chloe would be too happy about the breaking and entering when he told her that he would give her space. Anna insists that Chloe doesn’t want space, she wants him, and urges him to open the door. Brady then uses the key card and enters Chloe’s room. Anna follows him inside. Brady thanks her for caring but he doesn’t think she needs to be there. Anna responds that she doesn’t have anywhere better to be. Brady appreciates her encouragement but says he and Chloe don’t need a mediator. Anna suggests a videographer and offers to record their happy reunion. Brady then realizes that none of Chloe’s things are in the room, everything is cleaned out, and he doesn’t see her suitcase. They wonder where Chloe has gone.

Li laughs at Stefan’s feelings for Gabi being back but he’s still not sure she’s the one he wants. Gabi tells him to stop gloating and calls it a minor setback. Gabi doesn’t even know why she told him. Li understands she was venting. Gabi blames Li for ruining her life. Gabi assures that Dr. Rolf will finish his procedure and then Stefan will want only her. Li responds that he wouldn’t be so sure about that. Gabi argues that he’s just spiteful, cynical, and jealous as hell. Gabi adds that she’ll never want Li again and that Dr. Rolf is ratting him out to the cops right now so he should be on his way to prison soon. Li responds that he wouldn’t be so sure about that either.

Dr. Rolf finishes writing his statement, so Rafe tells him to sign it. Sloan then interrupts and tells Dr. Rolf not to sign that as she announces she is new attorney which excites Dr. Rolf.

Eric asks Nicole what is going on. Nicole says it’s nothing and that she and EJ just did a little too much celebrating last night. Eric questions her still being hungover at 5 PM. Nicole says it was quite a night and insists she’s fine. Eric asks if she’s okay to walk home. Nicole responds that she’s not going to get in a car with him because she smells beer on his breath. Eric offers to call her a cab. Nicole says she has it but realizes she doesn’t have her phone. Nicole then mocks Sloan by remarking to Eric that maybe she left her phone in EJ’s bed. Eric says he’s happy to help her but Nicole says she can take care of herself and storms off.

EJ thanks Stefan for being willing to put his deception behind them and for being reasonable and understanding. Stefan jokes that it’s not exactly the DiMera way. EJ suggests it could be the new way. Stefan then suggests they finish the tea that was brought for Nicole which EJ agrees to. Stefan drugs one of the cups behind EJ’s back and then gives it to him as they then drink the tea.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, I figured we got a strategy session ahead. We better load up on caffeine. Nice. Thank you, man.

Mm. Roman, are you sure you’re okay with this? Which part? They’re going after Orpheus part. I thought it was clear about. We’ve already lost the women we love thought of him coming after our kids, our grandkids. I won’t let another person die at the hands of that many amen. And the only way to stop him is to put ’em on the ground.

Okay, only a question remaining is how do we want to do it?

I thought you could use that, but don’t worry now that your, uh, killjoy of a brother isn’t around to deprive you, you’ll actually get to enjoy it.

Hey, sunny, do you, um, do you have a minute? I just wanna talk about the, um,

oh, all those beautiful smiling faces you. Golly. Thank you. You. Chad. Hi. Are you all alright, Julie? I’m fine. We were just going through these old photo albums and the memories got to be a little overwhelming, the end of the feeling. Of course you do. I think of all beautiful people we have lost. I just hope they’ve found peace.

What the hell? Oh my God. Are you telling me that all this time? I wasn’t talking to Susan Banks? No. Marlena, you weren’t.

You were talking to me, Nick Fallon.

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

Nick Fallon, the one and only. I hope you’ll forgive the deception, but I was afraid if I had revealed my true form to you, none of you would’ve given me the time of day. You made me believe that you, I was your beloved sister-in-law, Adrian. Yes. Pardon me for you, Marlena. I took the form of your simple, but recently deceased friend Susan Banks.

And for you, Kate, I pose as Jordan Ridgeway. Anything to keep you off balance? Hmm. Mission accomplished. Why are you here? Why are we here?

Isn’t it obvious I needed you to sign these?

How we kill, if this isn’t the hard part, how we get next to him. That’s the real challenge. True. Locking him up may not have kept us safe from him, but it sure as he’ll keeps him safe from us. Yeah. You can’t just stroll in a prison with a gun. Well, maybe not, but there are ways to get close to the bastard how?

Well, the easiest way to get next to a prisoner is to go to prison yourself. So what are you doing? Are you proposing that one of us gets locked up with orthos? Yeah, me. Oh, come on, partner. Don’t partner me. I’m the best man for the job. I have a criminal record. All I have to do is commit the right crime.

Plead guilty. I’m on my way to Statesville to get up close and personal with Orpheus. Go ahead, take a drink. Yeah, I mean, this is the good stuff. Well, as good as you’re gonna find around here, ain’t we? Well now you’ll enjoy it, won’t you? You sure? Yeah. Suit yourself. Just trying to cheer you up. I mean, you’ve been walking around here like you’ve got a dark cloud over your head.

Can’t imagine why I’d be in a bad mood. Oh wait, yeah, I remember now. It’s because my mom is dead. Sorry for your loss. I’m sure you are. Well, you know what? At least I could take some satisfaction to knowing we’re in here together. Oh,

so you’re, you are, uh, glad that to have the opportunity to spend some, uh, quality time with me, are you? If it were up to me, I’d watch Burn in Hell, but this is the next best thing, justice. Justice. My mother may have lost her life, but at least I know her killer will never breathe a breath of fresh air ever again.

I understand your, your anger. Lucas. I sympathize only one problem. I’m not the one who killed your mother.

So you just wanna commit a crime in order to get close to Orpheus. That’s a general idea. Mm-hmm. , didn’t you have any specific transgression in mind? Well, it would have to be something serious enough to get me sent to Orpheus to cell block. Maybe a good old fashioned b and e. What are you gonna break into for Knocks?

I thought I’d shoot lower than that. How would you feel about me, uh, breaking into this place and taking a few bucks from the till? Well, I don’t think breaking into your in-law’s pub. We’ll get you a cell next to a murder of StuG, like not a chance. Now you’re gonna need to have a serious offense for that.

Yeah. Okay. Alright, hold on. What if you don’t actually have to commit the crime? How would that work? To be honest, I’m not sure. But if you can get to trash, convince her that you need to get close to work is for whatever reason, she’s not your big fan, she might be happy to send you away. Okay. And, and when she asked you why exactly does Steve need to get close to a prisoner in Statesville?

That’s the one to put in there, right? Well, maybe she would want our fees to pay for his crimes, but I doubt she’d sign off on his cold-blooded murder. Well, that’s true. And that is, uh, the problem with that idea. All right, we’re scratching that one out right now. Okay, gentlemen, we’re back to square one.

Let’s go. Okay. We need to find an honest way, so to speak, to get me sent to prison. No guarantee that works. Either you can go out tomorrow, commit the perfect crime, plead guilty. It’ll be months before they send you to state. That’s a. Besides, once you take the bastard out, we can’t get you out of jail.

You’re gonna spend years of your life behind bars. Kayla wouldn’t want touch. No, neither would doc. Neither would Kate. So we’re done with that idea here. Steve, your family needs you. Hasn’t that son of a bitch taking enough away from us already? Of course you killed her. You poisoned her. You sadistic bastard, just like you did Marlena and Kayla.

Oh, I, I don’t deny that, but. Probably well aware. That was the culmination of the war that began a long, long time ago. But that’s old news. Your mother was cured of her ailment months ago, as were the others. She was in remission. She wasn’t cured. What semantics? My point is, had they continued to receive treatment from that rather remarkable orchid, they would’ve all gone on to.

Long productive lives. She and her friends, no. She and her friends are gone. They’re dead and they’re never coming back. That’s because of you, right? You might want to take that up with Kristen Damara. She’s the one who withheld the serum. She didn’t withhold anything. Kristen didn’t do that. I don’t know why all of a sudden she decided to do the right thing.

Why? She wanted to do something admirable, but she was gonna hand it over until somebody stole it. Who? No, there’s your culprit. So why didn’t you? And the rest of you guys chase down the, uh, dastardly orchid thief because we don’t have any idea who it is. Oh, well. So rather than lashing out at me, perhaps you should reserve some of your anger for Ray Hernandez and is Mary Band of Bozos.

Come on, Lucas. If the Salem PD had done its job, you’d know exactly who signed the death. For your mother.

You okay? Yeah. I, I was just expecting to find Sunny in here. Well, it’s understandable. It’s his office, right? So is he around? No. No. He took the day off. Spending the day with Will. I am just following his desk and handling any uh, Titan business that’s pressing. Do you want me to take a look at something?

No, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s private or it’s just the PR strategy for our new publishing subsidiary. It’s not due for another week, so we can wait. Beating deadline by a full week. You’re really on it. I’m just trying to stay busy these days. Right.

Um, so if you could just tell Sunny I dropped it off. Okay. You got it. Thanks.

Something else? I read your card.

You know, I used to love going through the old photo albums, but the older I get, the more I realize how many people that we’ve lost, people are dug, and I never expected to outlive. Please, you guys are gonna outlive us all. , you know, I’m almost a hundred Chad. Well, age is just a number. I agree. Hang on. I cherish every single moment I have with you

And with all the people I love, I just wish, I wish all of them could have been as lucky as we are. Me too. Love. Yeah. I miss ’em all, all taken before their time. Even the ones whose lives are spinning out of control,

like my poor, tortured cousin Nick.

Um, what are those? You don’t recognize them? You, you, you just handed them to me. Well, Susan told me that I had to sign that to get to the next level of. Right. Adrian told me the same thing. Okay. Well you were all told that, but we were all talking to you at the same time. Yeah. So time and space work a little differently here, but it sounds like you’re catching on.

Okay. What is this all about and, and why are you collecting the signatures? Is this really about moving to the next phase? Well, I’m, I’m so sorry, ladies, but what I told you was not exactly true. You weren’t signing some boring, bureaucratic paperwork. You were actually signing a contract. Yeah. What kind of contract?

Oh, you, you, you didn’t read it before you, before you signed it. Well, I mean, you made me think that you were Adrian and that I could trust you. Did I? Okay. Well, let me give you the, the short version of it, because what I have here in my hands are contracts of sale. Sale. We’re kind. Oh, well, Kate, uh, each of you has just sold me probably the most valuable commodity you possess.

Um, namely your souls.

Those contracts we signed, we sold you our souls. Wait, are you telling us you’re the devil?

That’s really good. That’s really good. No, I’m flattered. It’s really, but that’s a different, uh, that’s a different guy, right? Marla? Yes. You just work for him? I do. I do. You know, he’s not a bad boss, surprisingly. Just as long as you do his bidding like a good minion and, and don’t ask too many questions. He misses you by the way.

I’m touched. So anyway, the big guy is very busy, as you can imagine, being the devil. So he dispatched me in order to sign over your souls . Frankly, I thought it was gonna be a lot more difficult. Honestly, it was easy. It was really, it was really, really easy. But um, yeah, there are your signatures. Bolds can be Kate.

So now there’s nothing left to do but collect.

You can try to pass the blame all you want, but my mother’s death is on your head. And Marlena’s. And Kalis. And you know what? If they hadn’t been infected in the first place, they never would’ve needed the damn cure. A cure, which they had until it was stolen. Mm-hmm. . It’s funny how life works. I don’t think it’s funny.

Nothing funny about it. Nothing at all. Funny as in peculiar, Lucas, someone set something in motion, someone else responds to that and leads to consequences. No one could have. Is that for you? Because you know what? You knew what was gonna happen. You wanted him dead. Hmm. Oh, Lucas, I feel like we’re talking in circles and I’m getting rather bored, frankly.

I just remembered I’m wandering the kitchen for, uh, mop duty. Oh, good. Go do your mop duty. I hope you fall on your face. I hope you break your neck. Oh, now Lucas, that’s. That’s not very neighborly of you, but I’m not gonna take it personally because I know you’re going through a traumatic time for fella, which is why I was just trying to help.

I hate to see you suffer.

You write my card. Thank you for writing it and for the apology.

I meant every word. I have never regretted anything more in my life than I regret turning your phone off that night, Steph, and I am truly, truly sorry. I believe you and I appreciate everything you said, but not enough to give me another chance.

I’m sorry, I just, I don’t think we can go back to what we had before. Too much has happened. Is that because of my turning your phone off? Or because you slept with Chad?

I still think about him all the time and what went wrong. I’m still grieving for Nick. If he was on this earth, I would. I would try to help him reckon with what he did, but he’s gone. It’s gonna take a far higher power. Judge Nick Honey, I think if there’s any justice at all, he will suffer for his sins in the afterlife.

One can only hope that Marlena, Caden Kayla’s killer will suffer the same fate.

You know, maybe we’re making this more complicated than it has. Seems pretty complicated all on its own. We don’t need to be in Statesville for the long haul. We just need to be there long enough to have a moment alone with Orpheus. So you mean we just visited Prisoners have visitation, we put a request in, we head on out there, presumably just to shoot the breeze with him.

Once we get along with the guy, we take him out. That would cut out a lot of steps, including me committing a felony just to get on the inside. Come on guys. You know how the security that that prison is, you can’t just walk in that room with a weapon. They’ve got guard stationed everywhere, Roman. You know that weapons come in many different forums.

We can figure that out. Yeah. John and I have threaded smaller needles than that in the past. Yeah, fair enough. But what happens when a guy turns up dead after one of us visits him? What? Then let’s worry about the consequences after we accomplish our mission. Right now, I just want that human stain removed from the land of the living.

What’s going on here? Roman? I thought you were on board with. I am on board with killing Orpheus. I’m not on board with that six son of a bitch taking the rest of our lives. Alright, well listen, we’re brainstorming here. If you’ve got any ideas, let’s hear ’em. You’ve known Milo harp longer than any of us.

How do we waste the guy without sacrificing our own freedom or for stars? We can’t come directly at Orpheus. Can’t look that way. Or we get caught and that’s not exactly vindication. Agreed. Agreed. So what are you suggesting, Roman? That we come at him indirectly.

When I brought you the card and the flowers, your door was open. I wasn’t trying to look, but there you are with Chad, right in my line of sight. And I saw you kissing. You were there. I was there, Steph, but I didn’t stick around. No. I got the message loud and clear. That’s why I left everything outside the door and I took off.

I thought I heard something. I, I figured it was just the wind. Ah, no, not the wind, just me. But if that wasn’t enough to convince. Seeing you and Chad together like that. I actually ran into Chad this morning and he was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, so I did the math, Alex, and before you go on to tell me that it didn’t happen.

Wow. I wasn’t going to deny it. I have no reason to lie to you, Morgan. I’m sorry, what were you gonna say? I just wanted to say that that wasn’t planned. Chad Knight, we’d gotten close. I spent time with him and the kids, but he was still grieving, as you know. He wasn’t in a place to be in a relationship.

And then last night he showed up at my door and said that he was finally ready to move on. Wow. That’s good timing since you were available,

ladies. Okay. No need to grab. Okay. I have looked at a lot of contracts in my day and there are always loopholes. Nothing is airtight. Well, I think you’ll find the terms are laid out quite clearly. Do you know how many lawyers the devil has working for ’em? Basically all of them. There are no terms though.

This is old gibberish. Well, what do you expect? He doesn’t write in English. I mean, he was around before English was invented. . Well then none of this should be valid. Oh no. Trust me, it’s, it’s valid. Your souls belong to Satan. Okay. Okay, fine. We sold our souls. All right, so what do we get in return? Excuse me.

While contracts mean, contracts go both ways. If we sell you something, we get something in return. You see in every story that I’ve ever heard, when the devil offers to buy your soul, he, he tends to offer you some sort of earthly reward. Yeah. Like fame or fortune or something that you always wanted. Go ahead.

I’m, I’m gonna sit down, but I’m, I’m, I’m listening. Well, in the movies, the person has given their. When they’re alive. Yes, of course. I mean, isn’t that really the point? It’s only after you die that the devil comes and takes you to help. Right. You know what I’m feeling right now is, is that I should have watched more movies when I was alive because they sound amazing.

Alright, what is your answer? I’m sorry. What was the, what was the question? Eh? The question is if we sold our souls, what do we get in return? Right, right. You are absolutely right. I do owe you something. I owe you a reward. And it’s true. You’re gonna get it after you died. I think that you’re gonna find it was well worth the place.

Okay. This one for you? Oops. One for you? Yeah. And one for you.

What the hell is this? It’s crisp. $2 bill. We sold our souls for $2. No, no, no, no. Not $2. A $2 bill first issued by the US meat in 1862 initially thought to be very, very, very valuable. Though so rarely circulated, they ended up becoming more of an obsolete Curiosity, much like your souls, this is ridiculous.

This is useless. This is not a reward. It’s insane. It’s pathetic. Okay, ladies, that is valid US currency able to be exchanged for goods and services alike in, in many countries, not just united. Instead of a bitch, you son of a bitch. Okay. How exactly do we go after Orpheus? Indirectly easy. We’ve already got somebody who states us, somebody who hate.

As much as we do Lucas, Lucas, . You want us to ask Lucas to take out Orpheus? You know what? Lucas lost his mom. I can only imagine. He’s just as furious as we are and desperate for revenge. Lucas is certainly not above committing the crime after what he did to Sammy, but I’m not talking about asking to do our dirty work.

Then what are you asking him to do? For now, just provide a little intel. Lucas is a savvy guy. I have a feeling he has a few ideas how to get to horses.

Let’s talk first steps. First step. I pay my stepson friendly visit.

That was our wedding day. Mm-hmm. . It’s the happy day of my life. a, a yellow, so radiant with love and joy. Yeah. I thought that we would have enough memories to fill 10 of these.

Darling,

I spoke with Jack about how, how worried Doug and I have been about you. We know you’re still deep in pain and we understand. We understand that, that that pain will never go away entirely. We are hoping and praying that somehow, someday you’re able to find love again.

Jack and I actually just talked about that. He told me, he said he was encouraging you to move on

Yeah. I mean, yeah, it, um, we talked, it was helpful. It’s kind of new, but I’ve started seeing Stephanie Johnson. All right. Wonderful. Wonderful.

You think so? I do. She’s lovely. More importantly, she has a big heart. She’s smart. And you know, Thomas and Charlotte simply adore her. And when I’ve seen you with. Your spirit seems lighter. Yes. Yes. I think you’d be good together.

I’m glad to hear you say that. I wish you all the happiness. We have been in desperate need of some good news and this, this is definitely good news.

I didn’t know if Chad would ever be ready to move on, and then you and I got together, but now you’re. Because of what I did, and I accept that I made a terrible mistake that I can’t take back. And I wish I could give you another chance to talk to your mom, but I can’t do that either. And as hard as it’s gonna be for me to get past my mistake.

Alex, listen. You know how hurt I was. Turning off my phone, but not getting to say goodbye to my mom stuff if I had any idea. I mean, no, I know. I know. I understand. You didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just a case of really bad timing. Yeah.

If we were just talking. You and me our relationship. Maybe I could try to get past it, but

the thing is now there’s something between Chad and me

and I wanna see where it goes.

Okay, this is a crap deal. It’s not fair and you know it. You know we are not going anywhere with you. I’m no lawyer, but I can tell you, since none of us knew what we were signing, that the deal cannot be binding. You three need to open your minds. Okay? We’re not in some stuffy courtroom in Salem. We’re in the great beyond.

Here. I have final word. Uh, no you don’t. Excuse me. Mm. You told us yourself that you only work for the devil. So you see what we’re gonna do is do the proverbial end run Iran. You right. Ooh. End run. Wow. Ah-huh. . We demand to talk to your.

Well, thank you. Thank you for being honest with me and making your feelings very clear. I didn’t know if what was happening between you and Chad was a, a one time thing or what we’re, we’re taking it day by. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I’m hopeful.

I got it. Just so you know, Steph, I’m not gonna keep bothering you anymore. I’m not, I’m not gonna be sending you cards if flowers are begging for you to come back to me. I, I’m just not, you know, I’m, I’m not gonna be serenading you at your window. I’m good.

And as far as, uh, everything with Titan, um, son’s still the ceo. He, he can still handle whatever you need, whatever you bring to him. Yeah, I think that’s best, at least for a little while. And maybe once we’re through my mom’s funeral and once things have settled down a bit, maybe we can, why? Still be front

this seat taken. Oh, hey. Hey Roman. Um, what are you doing here? Well, what do you think I came to see? You came for a visit. I didn’t think you’d ever wanna see me or talk to me again after, after what I did to Sammy. Well, I am still pretty angry about what you did to my daughter, but no matter what you’ve done, you’re still Kate’s son.

And I know she would hate the thought of you spending all your days in here alone. So here I am.

Thank you. Thanks. It means a lot to me. Of course. Are you holding. Not good. It’s getting to me. I’m falling apart. It’s miserable in here. Only to top it off. I just had a run in with Orpheus.

You wanna speak with the devil? Yes. Yes. We wanna speak with the devil. Well actually, We demand to speak to him. That’s right. I think that’s a great idea. And I’ve spent years battling him from my very soul, my very existence. So I don’t think it’s too much to ask to have him come and turn out this contract.

Otherwise you’re going to have to tell him that you fell down on the job. Because you see, unless we speak with the Prince of Darkness, we are going nowhere.

No more trips down memory lane. Doug is making lunch for us in the kitchen. That one’s a keeper. You know, I think the marriage is gonna work out.

Darling, I hope you do find happiness. You deserve it.

I know you said that all you ever cared about was that the kids and I are happy. What? You wanted me to move on.

I just wish that there was some way that I could know you were actually okay.

Do you remember? We used to imagine that, that we would be like Doug and.

Be back at a lifetime shade together.

I know how much you love Stephanie.

She makes me happy. Happy. Kids too, and for the first time since I lost you, I’m able to look forward to the future.

As wonderful as that future may be, there’s always gonna be a part that’s missing

no matter who comes into my life. No one will ever replace you.

I’m sure. The last thing you wanna hear me say is that I wanna be your friend. I just don’t want you to think that I hate you because I don’t.

I am glad

we had a good time together, didn’t we? We did.

Stephanie, I am sorry. Sorry about your mother. I’m sorry about everything.

Thank you.

Actually, ramen won’t mind at serving ourself. Ah, thanks,

son. Mine, partner. What you mean? Besides our pat to kill Morpheus. You’re not having second thoughts now, are you Not Morpheus, Roman. I mean, he wasn’t on board with any of this at first, but yet he is the one who’s out at Statesville. I know what you’re saying, but the fact is he’s less compromised than you and I are

not easy living with blood on your hands. Roman’s a grown man. He made his own decision and with any luck, Lucas will make the same one. So huge shot Murphy. Yeah, he was sitting in the same chair you are right now. He’s trying to push alcohol on me. Okay. You didn’t? No, I didn’t. Okay. I need you to do me a favor and get rid of this for me as soon as you can.

Alright? Of course. Yeah. Uh, what was he trying to accomplish with us besides torturing me? I mean, that’s what he does. He ruins people’s lives. You know, that not only did he kill my mom, but he’s trying to get me to fall off the wagon. But I’m not gonna do it. I am not gonna give him the satisfaction.

Excellent. Lucas. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if you did.

Are we going to stand here looking at each other, or are you going to take our request to the devil? Make the call Nick. Ugh, you’re all just delaying the inevitable, but fine. I will relay your request. In the meantime, might I offer you a little re paste?

Very kind. Enjoy, because I guarantee you things are about to get a lot. Unpleasant.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Nick, please say something. I mean, I don’t — I don’t know what you would say after finding out that your brother could be the father of this baby. I really can’t imagine what you’re thinking.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I mean, what you said about adam…

Sally: Yeah?

Nick: I was just wondering who was gonna bring it up first.

Tucker: Hey, adam. Been a minute.

Adam: Yeah, it has. Been staying out of trouble.

Tucker: That’s good. There’s just too many choices here. I can’t — I can’t make a decision. It’s impossible.

Adam: Well, everything’s delicious here, so you really can’t go wrong.

Tucker: What brings you here? Brownies? Sharon?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Coffee.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Contemplation.

Tucker: Ah, yes, yes, yes. Are you meeting somebody or…?

Adam: Just me tonight.

Tucker: Cool. Well, in that case, let me buy you that coffee…and a brownie.

Lily: Can I just go on record saying that any day that includes a casual conversation about a lawsuit is…

Jill: I don’t like it any more than you do.

Lily: Are you sure that holding on to devon’s half of the company is worth all of this trouble?

Jill: I thought we were on the same page, that if we let him buy it back, it will devalue our company.

Lily: No. I know. I know. I just — [ Sighs ] I just wish there were a better alternative.

Jill: So did I. Look, I appreciate how difficult this is for you, watching your brother be so egocentric, ’cause this whole thing has turned into the devon show. It’s about him, his father, his company, his feelings, versus all those legal documents he signed.

Lily: Well, look, I think it’s more complicated than that. I don’t know. There is a part of me that can understand why devon wants to pull out of this merger.

Jill: And is that the same part of you that can’t stand the thought of losing your father’s company?

Lily: Well, look, I mean, of course I want to maintain that connection to his legacy. But I think what hurts most is that I couldn’t keep my family together as part of that company. And on that front, I failed.

Daniel: Hey.

Devon: Hey, man. How you doing?

Daniel: Oh, where do I begin?

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: Yeah? You had a long day?

Daniel: You could say that.

Devon: Why don’t you take a load off?

Daniel: You know what? I don’t mind if I do.

Devon: Would you like to talk about it?

Daniel: Well, you know, for starters, my whole life has been revolving around this gaming platform. Outside of my kid, it’s been my sole purpose for being. Now everything just seems like it’s in limbo.

Devon: I take it lily filled you in on what’s going on at chancellor-winters?

Daniel: Yeah, I heard some things.

Devon: And, uh, you probably think that I’m responsible for your project being put on hold, right?

Daniel: As a matter of fact, I do. I’m still moving toward what’s next.

Tessa: Ooh.

Mariah: You know, I’m always telling people that you take me to the coolest places in the city.

Tessa: Ugh, god.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: I would accuse you of making mom jokes, but you’ve always been cheesy.

Mariah: Ah.

Tessa: Ahh! You always bring me to the perfect spots.

Mariah: Well, you know, sometimes when you can’t get any sleep, you just got to throw out the rulebook and break the body’s expectations.

Tessa: Oh, is that how you’re gonna put our baby to sleep at night?

Mariah: After she’s born, which could be a matter of days from now.

Tessa: Ah! I just can’t believe it.

Mariah: She’s gonna be the coolest girl in the whole world.

Tessa: I mean, with us as parents, she has no choice.

Mariah: [ Laughs ] I’m thinking one part dreamer, one part fighter, and any time she’s overwhelmed or can’t sleep, she’s gonna take a long walk outside and look at the stars. She’s gonna grow up with so much love.

Tessa: That’s the luckiest girl in the world. She’s gonna change our lives forever…for the better.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Jill: All I can tell you is that I know what it feels like to have regrets about professional decisions I’ve made. Back when I worked at jabot, when I was head of the men’s line, my complicated history with john and jack forced me to make certain business decisions that I wouldn’t have otherwise made. And they weren’t always for the best. But I learned to stand up again, dust myself off, and focus on the task at hand. And I think I have a lot to be proud of.

Jill: Well, I don’t know if i can be proud of my inability to get devon to stick around.

Jill: Don’t focus on that. Your drive and your determination are what is moving this company forward. And I have no doubt that you’re gonna lead us to even greater heights once we go public. This is an opportunity. It’s an opportunity for you to lead unencumbered again.

Jill: But we still have to look out for devon because he is furious and in protective mode.

Jill: Devon is the one who should be worried. This merger has been in place for months. He can’t just say, “I’ve changed my mind, game over.” That isn’t how it works. Our two companies are intertwined, both legally and functionally. Plus, we offered him a very lucrative buyout.

Lily: Yeah. And he refused.

Jill: He simply has no legal standing for what he’s asking. So, why the hell is he putting all of us through this when there’s only one way this will end?

Devon: Let me just say you’re not wrong ’cause I am probably the main reason that your project isn’t moving forward right now. But what’s happening is complicated, and there’s just a lot of moving parts and a lot of factors.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Look, I understand that. I do. I mean, my professional future is hanging in the balance here.

Devon: Right.

Daniel: I need this.

Devon: No, I know you do, and I completely get where you’re coming from. And I don’t want to be the one to hold you back, either, ’cause I believe that, even if chancellor can’t make omega sphere happen, any company with half a brain will scoop up your project.

Daniel: But I came to chancellor because I wanted to work with the two of you.

Devon: Well, I mean, you can be honest with me about that.

Daniel: Meaning?

Devon: Meaning you only wanted to really develop the project with lily. Life cuisine is extra.

Tessa: Okay, let’s go through the list.

Mariah: What list?

Tessa: The baby list. I want to make sure we have everything.

Mariah: Oh. Uh, okay. Uh…crib.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Rocking chair. Car seat?

Tessa: Ready in the car and ready to be filled.

Mariah: Awesome. Uh, okay…bottles, bottle sanitizer, wipes, formula, diapers?

Tessa: Check, check, check.

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: Sharon told me that no matter how many bibs and burp cloths we have, we will need more.

Mariah: Then let’s put it on the list.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: Hey, I know I’ve been giving you hell about managing this list. It’s just you’re so good at it. You’re so dedicated and fastidious.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: And now we don’t have to worry ’cause we have everything we need.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] We don’t have everything.

Mariah: We don’t?

Tessa: No. There is one very important thing that we have left undone and we need to take care of. And I really hope that we see eye to eye on this one.

Adam: Thank you. Ah, well, look at us. “Genoa city’s villains get their just dessert.”

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Ba-dum-bum.

Former villain.

Adam: Right. Well, at least nobody can accuse us of drinking coffee alone.

Tucker: Mm. The peaceful man… the peaceful man is frequently alone, but never lonely.

Adam: You don’t say.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. I’ll bet you haven’t had a night of peace in ages.

Adam: You would not be wrong.

Tucker: If you seek enlightenment…

[ Clicks tongue ]

Adam: I’m supposed to confess my sins and get some kind of absolution?

Tucker: Well, may I offer my own truths.

Adam: Knock yourself out.

Tucker: Perhaps you and I are here in this moment of time together ’cause we’re so alike. I have been trying to evolve. I’ve been trying to become the man I’m supposed to be, that i should be. And yet I continue to misjudge situations and underestimate the people in my life. I’d always believed that being honest was gonna hinder my cause for some reason, so I employed subterfuge. And it has bitten me in the ass.

Adam: You know, when you came back to town, you said something about reuniting with devon and meeting dom, maybe starting something up with ashley again.

Tucker: Good memory.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And yet here you are, party of one. Ashley’s in paris. She left rather abruptly. Pretty big surprise to everybody at jabot.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, my feelings were sincere, but I was just [Chuckles] — I was an arrogant son of a bitch. I thought I knew more than everyone, more than the people i loved. And I lost big time.

Sally: You already knew that there was a chance that adam could be the father?

Nick: Yeah. I mean, it, uh — it occurred to me a while ago.

Sally: You didn’t say anything.

Nick: I didn’t want freak you out.

Sally: I’ve been freaked out since the beginning.

[ Both laugh ]

Nick: Yeah. Um… I just figured whenever you were ready, you would bring it up. You’re running this show, sally. I’m totally cool following your lead.

Sally: I’m really sorry i didn’t tell you sooner, just like I’m sorry I waited to tell you that I was pregnant. You’ve really been amazing. And I just — I — I realized tonight that I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore until I was completely honest with you.

Nick: Yeah. I-I get it, you know? I, um… I did the math. You think there’s a chance adam has, too, and suspects something?

Sally: I don’t know.

Nick: I mean, I was right there when he asked you point blank what was wrong with you. He knows you haven’t been yourself lately.

Sally: Yeah, I, um… I don’t know. Things have been awkward for me around adam. I was hoping maybe he would think it was normal ’cause we’re exes and I’m seeing his brother. And — and no matter how well adam reads me, there’s no reason for him to jump to the baby conclusion.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: And just so you know, so there’s not any doubt, there was only that one time with adam in december. There’s been nothing since.

Nick: I believe you. Hey, what’s bothering you now?

Sally: It’s just that last time with adam… I knew it was never gonna work with him. Fate wouldn’t be that cruel, right? To make adam the father when it’s finally completely over?

Nick: I don’t know. Um, fate can sometimes have an interesting sense of humor. I’ve been down this road before. Boy, have I. It’s not easy for anyone.

Sally: So, what do we do?

Nick: Just strap on our seatbelts and see where this ride takes us.

Sally: You’re just leaving? Who says you have to spend more on skincare

Nick: I mean, I’m not leaving because I’m angry. I’m leaving ’cause I got to get home to christian and you need to get some rest.

Sally: Do you remember that thing that you told me that you used to do with christian before bedtime?

Nick: Spraying under his bed for monsters.

Sally: Yeah. Convince me that I’m just making all this stuff up in my head because I’m still worried that you’re angry.

Nick: I mean, for that, you’re gonna need, like, the first class super duper extra strength spray.

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: I’m not mad at you or adam or the baby or the situation. Sally, this doesn’t change one thing for us or how I feel about you.

Sally: That’s very sweet of you.

Nick: Well, it’s the truth.

Sally: Yeah, but just because you say nothing’s gonna change doesn’t mean it won’T. And it’s nothing against you. It’s just life. You know, it’s messy and uncertain.

Nick: Are you serious? Messy and uncertain? It’s like my specialty. I’m solid. Just please don’t worry about it, alright? I just want you to focus on yourself and your baby. And you do that by getting rest.

Sally: This bed does look really inviting.

Nick: Well, then let’s get you in there.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: There you go. There we go. Get comfy.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I might actually be able to get some sleep tonight because, honestly, keeping that secret from you was destroying me.

Nick: Well, let that be a lesson. Always come clean.

Sally: Thank you.

Nick: You want me to leave you some of my monster spray? I have cases of it.

Sally: Yeah, can you leave some by the bedside?

Nick: I might do that. Better?

Sally: Much.

Mariah: We have discussed every baby issue from multiple angles. Why wouldn’t we agree?

Tessa: Because this is an important decision. And this baby doesn’t have the most crucial thing in the world.

Mariah: This baby is gonna have two loving parents and a whole messy bunch of family and friends. What more could she need?

Tessa: A name.

Mariah: Oh. That.

Tessa: Look, I know we put it off because we didn’t want to get our hopes up.

Mariah: Ugh. I know. It’s just naming her — that makes everything so very, very real. And it also makes all of the bad what-ifs real, too.

Tessa: No. No. We are not gonna give those oxygen because in just a few days we are gonna bring our baby girl into the world. And we can’t just bring her into the house and call her “baby.”

Mariah: Yeah, agreed. Okay, let’s get to work.

Daniel: Thank you.

Devon: That’s on me, by the way.

Daniel: Oh, no, no, no. Please. I couldn’T. I might be dead in the water over at chancellor, but, um, i can still afford to pay for my own drinks. But thank you.

Devon: You got it, man. And listen, the only thing i meant by saying that you only want to work with lily is just ’cause it’s — it’s natural. You gravitate towards people you know, and you and lily — you clearly have a lot of history, so it makes sense. That’s it. And I don’t see a reason why you and her can’t move forward with chancellor once the dust settles.

Daniel: Sure, but I mean, now there’s no guarantees, right?

Devon: Well, I mean, you’re only hearing lily’s side of things.

Daniel: [ Breathes deeply ] You know what? What I know is that lily is going through hell because of your decision to bust up this merger, and I’m not just talking about this because of what’s at stake for me. I mean, come on, man. I just can’t fathom, like, that you would want to hurt her this way.

Devon: I don’t want to hurt her this way. I’m not trying to hurt her, daniel. You don’t know the full story.

Daniel: You’re right. I do not know all the ins and outs, but what I do know — what I know is lily’s heart. And, man, it just doesn’t seem like you have a problem breaking it right now.

Lily: Look, playing devil’s advocate, maybe devon would have never agreed to this merger if he knew we were going public. Maybe he feels like he signed under false pretenses.

Jill: Well, then he’s woefully mistaken. There was no long-term plot to lure him in so we could steal hamilton-winters. The merger was your idea. The ipo was mine. Devon’s been around long enough to know that there is no static in the business world.

Lily: Yeah, that’s true, but —

Jill: An ipo is a logical and reasonable response, given our profits and our success. He just doesn’t like the plan. So he wants to take his ball and go home. Aw, sweetie, it’s so unfortunate that you got in the middle of this.

Lily: Well, I guess I should look at it like another day in the office.

Jill: No. I know how difficult this is for you, and I do appreciate your loyalty to your brother. Alright, so, if you feel that you need to recuse yourself from being involved in this lawsuit, I understand. And I am prepared to fight this alone.

Lily: No, look, I will do what it takes to protect the company. But I do have a request.

Jill: Well, then let’s hear it.

Lily: I don’t think that this lawsuit should stop us from doing business. And I really believe that we should move forward with daniel’s platform, omega sphere.

Jill: Okay. The video game.

Lily: Jill, it is so much more than that. I mean, this platform could make a name for us in the gaming industry.

Jill: You really believe in this.

Lily: Yes, of course I do. This is a groundbreaking platform, and I think it’s a great partnership for us. And I really hope that you will say yes…tonight. What about this guy?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: I’m as hurt as lily is that things have gotten to this point, but she and I have very different views on how to run a business. And I’ve had reservations about going public for a long time now for good reasons. And she’s making the choice to ignore those reasons and side with jill, which is fine. She can do that. They can take chancellor public all they want. I just want to reclaim the company that I created with neil.

Daniel: But she’s your sister.

Devon: I know who she is. That’s not gonna change.

Daniel: You know, just because you guys had differences in the past and you were able to eventually forgive each other for them and get past it doesn’t mean it’s gonna happen that way again. You’re taking her for granted, man, and that is a sure-fire way to lose someone you love.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: What’s going on with you?

Adam: Man, you are awfully set on having a heart-to-heart. It makes me wonder why.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] I’m not looking for a pal or anything. It seems like we’re cut from the same cloth, is all. And there’s something to be said for, uh — for unloading onto someone who is in no position to judge or who really doesn’t care. It’s liberating.

Adam: I lost someone that’s, uh, very special to me.

Tucker: Oh, I’m sorry.

Adam: Well, losing her was bad enough, but it’s to whom i lost her which is the salt, the lemon, and, um, the battery acid in the open wound.

Tucker: Oh. Was it a friend or foe?

Adam: It’s family.

Tucker: Ugh. Well, if you want my advice, um, try not to think in absolutes. You know, you can never step in the same river twice ’cause it’s ever-changing, just like we are. So, this woman you love, who you lost, is not the same woman she was yesterday, just like you’re not the same man. Hope springs eternal. You never know what’s gonna happen, right?

Sally: Now that we’ve discussed the possibility that adam could be the father, should I tell him? Or should I just keep this to myself for as long as humanly possible?

Nick: Um… it’s your call. You should do what you want.

Sally: But you think I should tell him, sooner rather than later.

Nick: I really do. It won’t be any fun in the moment, but look how much better you felt after you told me. And this isn’t about what adam does or doesn’t deserve. Sally, you deserve to have as few burdens as possible so you can focus on yourself and have the healthiest pregnancy that you can. And it doesn’t do you any good to keep any secrets. They always come to light.

Sally: Yeah, you’re right. Everything should be out in the open. I should…find out the truth.

Nick: What?

Sally: I will have a paternity test done and get the answers that we need. Your heart is the beat of life.

Mariah: Before we get started, I just wanted to say there’s no bad answers here, alright? No judgment, no outrage, no giggling. Just an honest conversation about baby names.

Tessa: Okay. I’m in.

Mariah: Okay. I will, uh, go first. Hyacinth.

Tessa: Oh. I’ll put it on the list. Okay, um… anoushka?

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: [ Gasps ] No!

Mariah: I’m sorry.

Tessa: No! You said this was a safe space. No giggling!

Mariah: I’m so sorry. You’re right. You’re right. That was wrong. That was wrong.

Tessa: So wrong.

Mariah: Okay, go again.

Tessa: Adele? Like you can think of something better.

Mariah: Better than “adele anoushka”? Yeah, you bet I can.

Tessa: Okay, fine. You do your thing. You name the baby.

Mariah: You know what? I will. So, it’s got to be something ageless…

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: …And timeless. You know, it’s got to — it’s got to stand out, but not too far out.

Tessa: Okay. I mean, I’d like something that resonates, something that you hear and you don’t forget, you know, something one-of-a-kind.

Mariah: Just like our girl.

Tessa: Let’s try out a few.

Mariah: Okay. You go first.

Tessa: Okay. “Everly? Are you ready for bedtime?”

Mariah: Oh, it’s sweet!

Tessa: Yeah!

Mariah: I like it. I do.

Tessa: Okay, okay.

Mariah: Um… “emerson?”

Tessa: [ Gasps ]

Mariah: “Have you finished your french homework?”

Tessa: Ooh. Okay. Um… “tuesday, I have never seen a brighter smile. Good job at brushing your teeth.”

Mariah: [ Laughs ] So, tuesday’s a good brusher?

Tessa: Not one cavity.

Mariah: Oh, I like her already.

Tessa: Ah, I just can’t wait to see her sweet little face and her cute little fingernails.

Mariah: Can you imagine what it’s gonna be like to just — to be holding her in our arms, knowing that she’s ours?

Tessa: I hope she likes my music.

[ Both laugh ]

Mariah: She’s gonna love it. And she’s gonna love her name.

Tessa: Which is…?

Mariah: [ Inhales deeply ] To be determined.

Tessa: Okay.

Mariah: You know, we need to get her home and see what she — what she feels like, who she is.

Tessa: You’re right. We should get a sense of her personality. You know, delphine could be late. I mean, what if “to be determined” likes to be late to the party?

Mariah: [ Laughs ] Well, then she’d be just like her mother.

Tessa: Oh, honey, don’t talk about yourself like that.

Mariah: Excuse me? You’re the late one. You used to at least try to be on time, but then when you realized that I would just wait for you, all bets were off.

Tessa: [ Laughs ] And now we’re waiting for our daughter. Oh, my gosh, I will just never get sick of saying that.

Mariah: “Our daughter.” Wow. It’s got to be the two best words that ever were.

Tessa: It’s normal to be terrified, right?

Mariah: It’s completely normal.

Tessa: [ Breathes deeply ]

Tucker: Well, mr. Newman, this has been a blast, but this is as much excitement as I can handle in one night.

Adam: [ Groans ] Yeah, I know what you mean. So let’s never do it again.

Tucker: It’s a date. Hey, nick! Isn’t it past your bedtime?

[ Laughter ]

Nick: That’s funny.

[ Hands clap ] I didn’t realize you two were friends.

Tucker: Oh, we’re not.

Adam: Oh, no, we just — it turns out we both like coffee.

Tucker: I know. What are the odds of that?

Adam: Yeah. This could be the beginning of a very interesting friendship.

Tucker: Anything can happen. And with that [Clicks tongue] Good night.

Adam: Hey, I’m actually, uh, glad I ran into you.

Nick: Why is that?

Adam: Uh, because I wanted to let you know that I told jack that victor and potentially kyle were trying to pull the rug out from under me at jabot. So, thank you for the heads-up. I know your motivation was self-serving, but your impulse was generous.

Nick: Well, I sure hope jack has your back.

Adam: We’ll find out soon enough, I suppose. Look, do you actually have a minute?

Nick: Depends. What do you want?

Adam: I figured since we’re in a “sort of getting along” phase, I could ask you a question.

Nick: Alright. Go for it.

Adam: What is going on with sally?

Daniel: Yes, it is easy to get distracted by emotions. And I know you’re gonna say that it’s only business, but don’t — don’t minimize who she is. Lily is brilliant. She’s incredibly loyal. She’s the kind of person that you want by your side, not across the courtroom.

Devon: Right.

Lily: Hi.

Devon: Hi.

Lily: Sorry. I was eavesdropping. Thank you, daniel, for your support, but devon is free to make up his own mind.

Devon: Well, I appreciate you saying that, but I just want to say that I agree with every single thing that you just said about her. And I mean that. You keep saying, lily, that this is all about keeping me on board and us working together as a family — right? — And carrying out this legacy.

Lily: Yes, that is true.

Devon: Okay. I had a thought then. Why don’t you come and join me at hamilton-winters and we can run our father’s company together, side by side? You say the most important thing is our relationship, which i agree with. So, why not say yes to that?

Lily: [ Scoffs ] I’m sorry. Is this like a loyalty test? I don’t — why do I have to give up chancellor-winters to make you feel better?

Devon: It’s not about making me feel better. It’s about doing what you claim you want to do so bad, which is work with me, right? No? I mean, your response — it just proves to me again that business is everything to you. So I don’t want to hear any more that this is just about family when we know where you stand. Sorry. This is the sound of better breathing.

Daniel: Wow, that was brutal.

Lily: All part of the job description.

Daniel: Mm. Rolling with the punches?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I mean, what’s the alternative? Every time I try to make things better with devon, they get worse, so… but it’s fine. It’s fine. Everything’s fine.

Daniel: I hope that I didn’t overstep, telling devon how i felt about what he’s doing.

Lily: No. Look, I know that you meant well, but I don’t think that anyone can change his mind at this point.

Daniel: Well, I am truly sorry that you’re having to deal with all this.

Lily: Thank you. Anyway, I have some news for you.

Daniel: Okay. Lay it on me.

Lily: So, I spoke with jill about the future of omega sphere.

Daniel: And?

Lily: And… she said yes.

[ Laughs ] She wants to move forward.

Daniel: Are you serious?

Lily: Yes. Yes. I’m serious. Everything that you asked for. So, how soon can you have it ready to launch?

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] I-I… I don’t know what to say. Uh…

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Daniel: You did it. This is — it’s happening.

Lily: Yes. It’s happening.

Daniel: This is incredible.

Lily: [ Laughs ] It’s happening.

Daniel: Oh, my god.

Lily: Oh, I am so happy.

Daniel: Oh!

Tessa: [ Yawns ]

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Are you getting sleepy?

Tessa: Yes. Finally. Are you?

Mariah: No, not just yet. But I love that the sound of my voice can put the person that i love most in the world to sleep.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: That will come in very handy in the years to come.

Mariah: Oh, so, I’m on sleep duty?

Tessa: Oh, yeah, I mean, only until she’s in college.

Mariah: Well, then that means you’re the disciplinarian.

Tessa: [ Gasps ] Wait. No, no. That doesn’t work.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Well, if the sound of my voice sends her off to dreamland, i can’t also be the person that tells her to study or to do her chores, you know? She’ll be falling asleep as she’s trying to clean out the garage or learn the state capitals.

Tessa: But I don’t want to be the bad guy.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ] Never.

Tessa: We’ll do it together.

[ Breathes deeply ] We’re gonna be good moms. We’re not gonna be bad moms, okay? We’re gonna be cool and chill.

Mariah: Alright.

Tessa: She can talk to us about anything —

Mariah: Oh. Oh, my god.

Tessa: What?

Mariah: It’s delphine.

Tessa: Okay. Okay.

Mariah: I-I’m answering it.

Tessa: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Mariah: Hi! Delphine! Uh, we’re — we’re great. How are you?

Tessa: [ Exhales heavily ]

Mariah: In labor?

Tessa: In labor?

Mariah: Uh… okay. Yeah. You’re, uh, in labor. Um, do you know how — it’s happening right now.

Tessa: Right now? Okay.

Mariah: Uh, alright, alright. Um, well, you know what? Uh, we are gonna be there as — as fast as we can, and, um — and, uh [Chuckles] We’re gonna be there for you. We’re gonna take care of you. So, uh — so, just, uh — ooh, she says be safe.

Tessa: Aww.

Mariah: Okay. Just — just make sure you’re breathing through your contractions, alright? And you are not gonna have to do this alone. I promise, okay? Okay. We’ll see you soon. Alright.

Tessa: We’re gonna meet our baby.

Mariah: Our baby is coming.

[ Both laugh ]

Tessa: Oh, my god!

Mariah: Mwah! I love you.

Tessa: I love you.

Mariah: I love you. Oh, my god!

[ Both laughing ]

Sally: [ Sighs heavily ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] Voicemail. Of course. It’s after hours.

[ Breathes deeply ] Yes. Hi. I would like to make an appointment for a paternity test.

Nick: There’s nothing for you to worry about, adam. I heard what sally said to you before.

Adam: Yeah. She said she was having some problems starting her business. But it just felt like it was something more, maybe something she couldn’t say.

Nick: Maybe she’s just uncomfortable being around both of us at the same time. Look, sally’s tough, but can you imagine how hard that must be for her? And I don’t know when or if that’s gonna change.

Adam: Okay. That’s fair enough.

Nick: Night.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Hi. Can I get, uh…

[ Speaking indistinctly ]

That’s it. Yeah.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I never forget the terms of a deal. And my lawyers are meticulous. I’m aware. You know, I must admit, my financial advisors balked at me making this deal. Your catalog is a gold mine. Wow. You must be really scared of getting “metoo”d, then, to walk away from all that money. This is what you want, isn’t it? To have your songs back and me out of your hair. Among other things. Perfect. Then all you need to do… …is sign on the dotted line. You don’t have to put up with linc. Walk away. Find a manager who respects you. Problem is, my contract is ironclad. My career would be over, after I worked so hard for it. I’m trapped. And it’s not like I have a support system. Excuse the pity party, but when you leave the business, I’ll be all alone. Well…

not alone. Give me the pen. Oh. I almost forgot, brookie. There’s just one more thing I need from you. Tj. Hi. Trina. Look at you. All ready for the rehearsal dinner? Yeah. I’m really looking forward to it. Me, too. Me, too. I just have to take care of one last thing before I head home to change, pick up molly. Are you looking for your mom? I’m pretty sure she left early. Oh, yeah, she did. Um, we’ve been texting nonstop. But I thought I had a little time before the party starts, and I, um — I, uh, probably shouldn’t be here. Just act like you never saw me. Trina. Whatever it is, you can tell me. After all, we are about to be family. I know what I have to do now. I just wanted to tell you first. First? I didn’t want there to be any more lies between us before I, uh — before you what? Elizabeth, what are you going to do? Turn myself in. It’s clear this is weighing on you heavily. So I understand you wanting to go to the police and confess. No matter what it costs me. Elizabeth. I’m sorry. I can’t let you throw it all away. Where did my father go? I don’t know. What have you done, spencer? I don’t know what you mean, grandmother. You’re so clever. Yeah. You always have been, ever since you were a little boy. But you can’t fool me. I was in that chapel when you told him you wanted to get custody of esme’s baby. His baby. I don’t know what kind of twisted cassadine game you are playing with your father right now or how ava fits into this. But I do know that it will be destructive to all three of you. So you let me help you, before your relationship with your father can never be salvaged. You tell me — what are you holding over your father’s head? Yeah, I’m gonna tail this jerome lady that gave me such a hard time the other day. I’ll report back. So who was that? Three guesses. Listen to me. You want to come after me, mason? You go right ahead. You take your best shot. But don’t you dare threaten ava.

[ Chuckles ] Well, clearly, from the sour expression on your face, you’ve spoken to spencer. Is this how it ends between us, ava? You turn my own son against me? You saw fit to weaponize spencer. Oh, I can’t take credit for that. You did it all by yourself. Now be gone. This is my house now. I’m not going anywhere. Not until you and i finish what we started.


[ Indistinct conversations ] That dirtbag doesn’t give up, does he? Easy, detective. You told me what happened the last time you tried to defend brook lynn’s honor. You were suspended, without pay. Yeah, I remember. But still. If you think this agreement gives you special groping privileges, you can rip it in two and shove it up — linc: You’re a beautiful woman, brook lynn. Can you blame a guy for trying? Actually, I can blame you. Hashtag “me too.” Just so we’re clear, this little disagreement falls under this nondisclosure agreement. Like I could ever forget that. I get the rights to my songs back, and you get my silence in return. As much bellyaching as you’ve done about getting those songs back, I’d say cooperation and silence are a small price to pay. And your handsome singing detective never has to know. I’ll have what I want. You’ll have what you want. Blaze and chase’s careers will continue to climb. That’s a win-win for all four of us. Here, I thought you touching me was unbearable. But watching you put your scuzzy hands on another woman… please. Spare me the moral outrage and just sign your name. You go to the police, it’s going to cost you everything you love — your family, your career. Is easing your conscience worth losing all that? It’s not about easing my conscience. It’s about who I am, or who I used to be before my life went sideways and everything started spinning out of control. You mean before nik roped you into keeping his baby a secret? And I don’t see him rushing to confess. Let him go to jail, not you. I so appreciate that you still care. Do yourself a favor. Wash your hands of me and just let me go. How I would even do that? When I was in trouble, you didn’t wash your hands of me. You know, your sense of loyalty is totally out of whack. I’m your family, austin. And you want to defend ava? Hey, she’s the one that threatened me. She wanted to put the cops on me for the hook attacks. Yeah, because she was one of the first people to be attacked with a hook. She’s lucky to be alive. And who can blame her for wanting to figure out who the attacker was? If you were in my shoes, I would totally take your side. But, hey, I’m not the one who wants ava for myself like you. I mean, it’s really not a big deal. I-I mean, I — if I say anything to my mom or dad or marshall or curtis, they’ll overreact. I got to tell you, it’s starting to sound like a big deal. I just want to check on spencer, ah. Not you, too. No, not me. Spencer is molly’s cousin, remember? I’ve known him most of his life. He’s had some major screw-ups. He — he seems to have zero impulse control, but he is a good guy. He really cares. You know, I-I think that actually might be his problem. Caring? Mm-hmm. Spencer cares too much. It makes him vulnerable and easy to hurt

[ Scoffs ] Spencer. Absolutely. All that cynical, spoiled B.S. Is just a put-on, same as when he was a little kid. He was entitled, obnoxious, precocious. He used to wear cravats and smoking jackets.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I heard about that. But what I think spencer really was was lonely. And I think he still is. Grandmother, I — I saw my son’s face go pale when you vowed to gain custody of his child. There was a not-so-veiled threat behind that vow. There’s a web address on here. Go to it and you’ll find a video. A video…of what? Something that will give you power over nikolas. But let me warn you, spencer, you cannot unsee this. And if you choose to use it against your father, there will be no going back. You will be his sworn enemy. I don’t consider it to be a threat. I consider it to be the truth. Oh. The truth can be weaponized. You know that as well as I do. Now, listen to me. I am speaking to you now as someone who loves you both. I deserve to know the truth about this. Grandmother, it is because I love you so much that I cannot share with you what that truth is. If my father goes down for this, it will be because that is his choice. I’m not going to let him destroy anyone else in this family in the process. You wanted the house, now you’ve got it. You can redecorate, pull it down from its studs, or burn it to the ground. Let’s just say I have options. You can erase every trace that I ever lived in this house. But one thing you can’t do is erase what we felt for each other. And where did your feelings for me lead you? Right into the open arms of your son’s girlfriend! You think I wanted esme? Oh, I know that esme was no innocent in all of this, but you sure as hell took what she offered you, didn’t you? You’re the one who was arguing with esme before she fell. But I kept it quiet. I protected you. I was even willing to take the blame for you. And this is how you repay me? By turning that very confession against me? By giving it to my son to use against me in order to gain custody of my unborn child! Have you forgotten that spencer came to town just to break us up and to destroy you in the process? That is how much he hated you! I have forgotten nothing. But I happen to agree with spencer about one thing. That baby deserves better than esme and certainly deserves better than you! This isn’t about the baby, and you know it. So call it what it is, ava. It’s revenge. I honestly don’t care whatever you call it, as long as it stops you.


Okay, enough’s enough, jerk.Just don’t punch him. Oh, I’m not going to. I’m just going to put him in his place. All I need is one little signature, brookie. Are you in or are you out? What the hell’s going on here? We were just concluding a little business negotiation. Right, brook lynn? If your manager signs this agreement, she gets her song catalog back, not including the song rights I’ve already sold. It’s just my way of — to say thank you for everything she’s done for me.

[ Clears throat ] It’s okay, chase. Believe it or not, this, um — this agreement actually gets us both what we want. There. It’s done. See? Now, that wasn’t so hard, was it? It sounds like you’re implying that nikolas has done something illegal, something that would compromise my position of mayor if it were to be made public. Am I right about any of this? Like I said, it’s really best that you don’t know what I know. I guess I’ll take it as a yes. Grandmother, please, just trust that I know what I’m doing and drop this. Drop what? My feelings for you and your father? No, not for me, but for my father. I do think that he is a waste of your time. I remember a time when you worshiped the ground that that man walked on. My mother was dead. He was my only parent. So, yeah, when I was a little kid, I believed in him. And you still can, just tempered with the knowledge that no one is perfect. Grandmother, I’m sorry. That time has passed. At every turn, he has disappointed me. That man chooses his own selfish desires over everything and everyone. That’s just who he is. And I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough. He would have done us all a favor if he’d just stayed dead. Why can’t you believe me? Esme meant nothing to me. What about your affair with elizabeth? Your oldest and dearest friend, the woman you trust more than anybody on this earth? Was she nothing to you, too? Did you use her like you use everybody else? Yes, I used elizabeth, but not in the way you think. What are you talking about? It was all a lie. There was no affair. I never slept with elizabeth. We have very different memories of peter’s fall in the stairwell. Yeah, I didn’t walk away from you, but I also remember how our cover-up almost blew up in our faces when we found out peter wasn’t dead. He knew you were responsible for that fall, and he hung it over our heads, remember?

[ Sighs ] My point is, you wouldn’t let me lose everything and everyone I love. You stood by me, knowing the risks, and it brought us closer. That almost seems like a lifetime ago. Doesn’t seem like that long ago to me. Finn… you’re under no obligation to help me. Elizabeth, it’s never felt like an obligation with you. Then what is it?


I’ll make sure that you get a copy of our agreement asap. What was that all about?

[ Clears throat ] I told you, we were, um, negotiating. With his hand on your knee? You saw that? It was all I could do not to punch him out again. Oh. I guess I’m glad you still care enough to get all riled up. I’m — I’m also relieved that you didn’t throw any punches. Yeah, well, I’ve learned the hard way. Now that I have my songs back, you can forget all about the music biz. When the ccrb reinstates you, you can go back to being a cop. Chase? I was expecting a little bit more enthusiasm. Linc doesn’t just give away important assets like your song catalog. Is he going to buy out my contract like we hoped? Not exactly. Okay, then what exactly did you have to give him to get your songs back? Not that it’s any of your business, ’cause it’s really none of your business, but ava and I are friends. We’re just friends. Mm. Could have fooled me. Uh, okay, so — but from now on, moving forward, that’s something that you understand. Absolutely. Great. But since you’re just friends, you won’t mind if I pay ava a little visit tonight. Mason, what are you doing? Why — why would you do that? Why would you pay ava a visit? I don’t have to tell you, cuz. Love-hate is stronger than love or hate. Why are you fighting me on this? I’m not fighting you. I’m fighting for you. Somebody has to. You seem hell-bent on paying for someone else’s crimes. I don’t want see you throwing your life away for someone like nik cassadine. Oh, I’m not turning myself in for nikolas. I can’t really betray spencer’s trust or violate his privacy by giving details. But spencer and i were in the chapel after britt’s memorial, and spencer’s family came in, his dad and grandmother. Spencer asked me to leave, and I could tell that there was going to be a major blow-up. And you want to make sure he’s okay? I mean, I can text spencer, but… it’s really easy to lie in a text. If I see him, I’ll know. Molly and I are like that. In our work, we don’t get to share how we feel, so we’ve gotten good at hiding our emotions, but not from each other. One look at molly, and I can tell if she’s happy or worried or if her very last nerve is about to snap, and she can do the same thing with me. But we have known each other since we were teenagers. How long have you known spencer? About a year and a half. But it feels a lot longer because of everything that’s happened. Well, I think that’s why your mom and dad and curtis and marshall, I think that’s why they’re concerned. They don’t like spencer for me. No, they don’t want you to get hurt. I know. And that’s why you’d be doing all of them a huge favor if you don’t mention that I was ever here.

[ Both laugh ] So you’re going to keep looking for spencer? Uh… he’s probably gone. But if he’s still here, he’s dealing with his family. Besides, I don’t want to be late for the rehearsal dinner. Do you need a ride? I’m parked in the garage. I’ll ride down with you. Thanks for listening. That’s what family’s for. I need to sit down. Spencer, you don’t wish that your father was dead. I was there when you thought your father was dead, and you were shattered. I was a child then. I’m not now. Once you found out that he was still alive after he had been gone all those years, the two of you never connected as father and son again after that. I guess I just kept hoping that when you came back from boarding school that there might be a chance for you to — I’ve learned better now. I have grown up, grandmother. And I don’t actively wish that my father was dead, but I know that I don’t want him in my life anymore. Okay. You might feel that way now. But… you also know what it feels like not to have a father. Is that something that you would really want for your younger sister or brother? Oh, come on, nikolas, I know you’re desperate, but to try and deny your squalid affair with elizabeth baldwin — there was no affair! That was a lie, and it wasn’t mine. Elizabeth invented that. Why? That affair ended her relationship with finn. It doesn’t make any sense that she would make it up. Better that everyone thought we were sleeping together than anyone know the real reason elizabeth was spending so much time here at wyndemere. Well, tell me the real reason, nikolas. Why was elizabeth coming around here so much?! I was keeping esme locked in the north tower! Yeah, that’s right. We all thought she died when she fell off the parapet. But months later, she showed up pregnant with my child. She instantly started threatening to use the baby against me. And at the time, I had every reason to believe that she was the hook killer. Well, then why didn’t you call the cops and have the little demon locked up?! Because I didn’t want my baby born in prison and it wasn’t safe for the baby or anyone else if esme was allowed to roam free. So I — so you held her prisoner. And that’s why the north tower was off-limits to everybody. Elizabeth found out. And she begged me to call the police. But instead, I convinced her to give esme some basic medical care. I appealed to our friendship. And I am sure you’ll be happy to hear that it ended up destroying our friendship forever. But it turned out that esme wasn’t the hook killer. We didn’t know that until that rookie cop was killed when she was under lock and key. After that, I was going to fly her to cassadine island to have the baby there. But before I could make that happen — esme escaped. And she ended up at G.H. With no memory. I still don’t understand why elizabeth would make up a story about the two of you having an affair. Finn was getting very suspicious that esme was hiding somewhere here on the island. So one day, he came here, and he found a bottle of prenatal vitamins. He found elizabeth with a second bottle. And when he asked her about them, she panicked and said the first thing that came into her mind — that she was pregnant from sleeping with me. So you see, ava, esme was a one-time mistake. And elizabeth was just my friend. There was never anyone else… …but you.


You’re right. I did have to throw linc a bone. How bad is it? I agreed to write a dozen commercial jingles for linc, and once I deliver those, linc and I will be officially done. And that’s it? Look, I don’t want to be a pop star, okay? It’s not my passion. I want… I want my badge back. That’s what you wanted, isn’t it? I sign a document with enough time to spare so you can go in front of the review board, state your case, and walk away detective harrison chase again. You’ll be done with the music business for good. I just finished my business dealings with brook lynn, so now I can focus all my attention on you and making you so big that lady gaga will want to be your opening act. Chase, what is it? Did you hear what I said? Yeah, I heard it. But what if I don’t want out just yet? I don’t deserve your charity. Not after the way I treated you. Lied to you, made you think I cheated on you, and for what? To imprison a pregnant woman? It’s not charity. You don’t need that. But you do need to stop beating yourself up. I mean, nikolas didn’t tell you he was planning on imprisoning esme, did he? No, I’d imagine he pulled you in a little bit at a time, right? Go get prenatal vitamins for the the pregnant woman. That doesn’t sound so bad, does it? And I bet you at every chance he got, he reminded you that esme is the one that made the revenge porn of cam. He did mention it a few times. Mm. You are a reasonable person who made — made a reasonable mistake. I’m — I’m just talking as your friend here. That’s what we were long before we were anything else. As your friend, I want to get you through this without throwing away everything you love. Everything except my self-respect. I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to go to the pcpd and tell jordan everything. Finn: When you go to jail, what about the boys? Have you thought about that? Who’s going to take care of aiden and jake? Much of that’s going to fall on cam’s shoulders. You know how responsible he always is, right? I could see him dropping out of school to get a full-time job. And I know you think laura would be there to help, but she’s going to be dealing with nikolas and spencer and esme and a baby and all the drama that comes with — no, this is going to fall on cam’s shoulders. You — you willing to do that to your boys just to clear your conscience? Why did you wait till now to tell me all that? W-why did you make me think the worst of you? I was protecting elizabeth from going to prison. I mean, I already lost you whenyou found out I slept with esme. What else did I have to lose? So when elizabeth panicked and made up that story, I went along with it. This doesn’t change anything between us, though. You know that, right? O-of course I know that I would be lying if I said I haven’t done a lot of things that I regret. The road is littered with people that I’ve walked over, and I never even looked back. God knows neither one of us is perfect. That’s why I held out hope that one day, once the baby was born and esme was taken care of, I’d tell you everything, and you could understand and even find a way to forgive me. And then maybe, just maybe, we could find a way to repair the damage I caused. We could get past the betrayal and the bitterness and find a way back home, to our home, the one we shared and loved.


You don’t want out of the music biz yet? I don’t understand. You’ve made it abundantly clear on multiple occasions that you think your true calling is catching bad guys. Nothing’s changed. That is the ultimate goal. But when I signed onto our plan, I had two objectives — one, to get your song catalog back. Okay, great. Mission accomplished there. But two, to nail linc for sexual harassment, not just with you, but with every female that he tries to groom to be a star. I mean, you’re still up for that, aren’t you? Look, linc will get his. Someday. Okay, but you deserve to follow your dreams, which means going to that review board and convincing them to give you your badge back. Where does that leave blaze? I have grown to like her a lot. How much longer does she have to put up with linc and his sleazeball ways? What if the guy doesn’t take no for an answer? Not to mention what happens to every young, pretty, trusting face that comes along. If I am all about taking down bad guys, what kind of person would I be to look the other way? Now, I signed on to take down linc, and that is exactly what we’re going to do. Together. You know how much my boys mean to me. Of course I do. That’s why I need to do this. The truth is going to come out. It always does. At least this way, I can hold my head up high. Face the consequences to my actions. And my boys will know their mom isn’t a coward. Your boys know you’re not a coward. Just like they know you’re human and you’re capable of making mistakes. Especially when you think you’re helping a friend or maybe protecting your community from a killer. In the eyes of the law, I am an accessory to a kidnapping. The sooner I face that, the better for everyone. Okay. Wait. Just, uh — you feel like you have to do it? Okay. Do it. Just do me one favor. Just sleep on it, one night. Talk to jordan in the morning. Hey, aren’t you, uh — aren’t you supposed to go to the rehearsal dinner for curtis and portia tonight?

[ Sighs ] Do you really think I can walk into that dinner like this? Hey, you can do anything you want to do. Maybe it’ll be A… good reminder of everything you’d be giving up. I’m hoping you’ll realize what you’ll be losing, and you will choose to stop punishing yourself. I will be all the father that baby needs. Have you ever babysat a baby? Even once? Have you changed a diaper? No, but I can go online, and I can watch tutorials, and I can figure out how to do it. I’m — I am capable. I’ve never seen you make a meal in your entire life. The baby’s not even going to be eating real food for at least a year, right? That’s plenty of time for me to learn how to cook. Are we really talking about this? The point is, you have always been the one who has been taken care of. Do you really think you’re ready to meet the emotional needs of a baby? Babies are very demanding. Grandmother, my plan is very simple. In any situation, whatever my father did, I’m going to do exactly the opposite. Ah. Well… despite his many mistakes, he is still my son. And I will never give up on him. But I need your help, spencer. Did you really mean everything you just said? I meant every word. And it might have come true… if only you hadn’t conspired with spencer to take my unborn child away from me. You, of all people, know how that feels. When ryan chamberlain murdered kiki, that was agony, wasn’t it? Yet still, you — you weaponized spencer to take my unborn child from me?! How could you be so heartless?! Don’t bother answering that question, because the real question is, what do you think I should do as a result? What are you saying? Eye for an eye. That’s your way, isn’t it, ava? Since you’ve obviously forgotten what it feels like to lose a child, someone needs to remind you. So brace yourself, my love, because that someone is me.


Chase: Hey, when are we going to record another song together? Another song? Yeah. I mean, I can see it — you and me, tearing up the charts. But I thought —

[ Laughing ] Never mind what I thought. Blaze and chase together again. Hey, maybe we should record a whole album this time. I don’t see why not.

[ Laughing ] Oh, my gosh. Well, it sounds like we’re all going to make a lot more money with each other. I think we should toast, you know, to make it official. I’ll do the honors. Here’s to everyone getting exactly what they want.

[ Glasses clink ] I did promise portia I would go to her rehearsal dinner. Support my friend on her special day. Good. But I can’t promise you that I’m going to sleep on my decision, because I most likely will be up all night. I can live with that. As long as you don’t go to the police for now. For now. But in the morning, if I do decide to turn myself in… you won’t be alone. Thank you. And thank you for caring about me, whether I deserve it or not. If we all got what we deserved, who’d be left to run this place? You stay away from ava.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t be greedy, cuz. I’m not asking you, mason. This is me telling you. You stay the hell away from ava. You still think you’re a knight shining armor, don’t you? First it’s maxie and her baby, and now it’s ava jerome. Nah, ava’s a big girl. She can — she can fight her own battles. Then why are you doing it? You’re right. I guess, mason, because I know you. I know you. I know the twisted mind games you like to play. Well, what can I say? We learned from the best, remember? Oh, yeah, no, I remember. But I’ve grown up. Some of us have grown up. Some of us have — some of us are changed people. You are so boring like this! Boring and predictable. You know what? I’ve heard enough. Nighty-night, cuz.

[ Sighs ] Oh, come on, ava. Pick up. Voicemail. You know I hate saying no to you, grandmother. But you are asking too much. Nikolas cassadine was born with every luxury, every privilege, every opportunity to be the kind of man, kind of father that a son could look up to. That man has squandered every opportunity of his life, every privilege, including your love for him. If it’s salvation that he seeks, it is going to have to come from someone else. It’s not nikolas’ fault. It’s mine. I should have stayed on the island and raised him. You’re threatening to take avery from me? That’s impossible. You have no grounds for custody.

[ Laughs ] Who needs family court or a lawyer? I have uncle victor by my side and access to all his resources at my fingertips. When avery is gone, I guarantee you will feel an emptiness in your soul like I will, for the rest of your life. That’s a promise. And I’ll start now. Nikolas, I can’t let you take her. Don’t worry. I’ll tell avery you said goodbye.

[ Both grunt ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: There’s only one option.

Taylor: Yes, there is.

Steffy: Your freedom. That’s what matters. Mom…

Taylor: Honey, I have to confess. I have to– I have to confess to shooting bill, it’s the only way.

Steffy: Oh, my god. Can you just forget about bill?

No, b you–

Steffy: We will figure out a way to put sheila behind bars. You’re not turning yourself in. Enough.

Taylor: But all it would take is a phone call steffy. I just– I just say that I shot bill and–

Steffy: No, they would arrest you on the spot.

Taylor: But no more blackmail and sheila’s behind bars.

Steffy: Stop talking about this, please. You are not going to jail.

Taylor: Steffy, it’s the only way to keep our family safe.

Katie: Taylor shot bill. I just can’t believe that you’ve kept this secret all these years.

Brooke: For the few of us who knew, we all agreed to keep it quiet, including bill.

Katie: Taylor committed a major crime, brooke. I mean, she almost took my son’s father away from him.

Brooke: Yes, I know and that was terrible, really. But taylor regrets what she did deeply. So please do not make her burden of guilt any heavier.

[ Hope sighing ]

Thomas: Knock, knock.

Hope: Thomas.

Thomas: Don’t call security please.

Hope: What are you doing here?

Thomas: I came to see you and offer my services, again.

Hope: Thomas, how did you get in the building?

Thomas: Have you seen charlie?

Hope: Okay, you can’t keep doing this. Steffy and ridge made it abundantly clear–

Thomas: I am not welcome here. I am well aware of that, but I think everyone is making a big mistake.

Hope: We’ve been over this already.

Thomas: The fact is that forrester needs me. You need me. The line’s suffering, hope. I’m worried about you and I’m worried about hope for the future.

Katie: I’m still just trying to digest all of this. I mean what it must have taken for taylor to pull that trigger.

Brooke: Something she can’t fully comprehend herself.

Katie: I know what she thought bill had done to her daughter and as a mother, I get that fierce protectiveness, but for her to snap in such a brutal way?

Brooke: Some impulse took over inside of her. That’s not who taylor really is.

Katie: I’m not saying that she’s a monster, but my feelings are much more conflicted for taylor now that I know she shot bill.

Taylor: I have to do this, steffy. I– I have to come forward. I can handle the repercussions, but I could not handle it if something happened to you and the kids.

Steffy: Mom, we’re fine.

Taylor: I would never forgive myself.

Steffy: We are fine.

Taylor: No. Steffy, the only way to ensure your safety is if sheila’s locked up and I’m the only one that can make that happen. I have to confess. I have to tell the police.

[ Music playing ]

Thomas: I understand you’re not ready to forgive me yet.

Hope: It is not that simple, thomas. Your fake C.P.S. Call harmed a lot of people.

Thomas: Yeah, no kidding. My family is not speaking to me and you can barely look at me and douglas–

Hope: Is still hurt.

Thomas: Yeah, he’s probably wondering why his father could do such a thing.

Hope: We all are.

Thomas: Blaming that phone call on brooke was a bad idea. It was reckless, it was mean spirited and if I could go back and change it, I would.

Hope: Honestly, I wish you could too. But it’s a little too late for that. You made a bad choice and now you’re suffering the consequences.

Thomas: Right, I am suffering the consequences, but so are you. You lost your lead designer and your line ha sufferg ever since. That’s not just my opinion. You read the reviews yourself. Look, I have been busting my tail ever since I was let go here. I have designs that could go into production right now.

Hope: And that is what makes this entire situation so sad. Thomas, you have endless talent and potential and yet you keep squandering it away doing these… these hurtful, inexcusable things.

Thomas: And I told you I am so sorry about that, but please just let me come back and help, let me do that for you.

Hope: It’s not my decision to make anyway, it’s up to ridge and steffy.

Thomas: That’s true. But I believe that if you push them, you can get them to bring me back on and let me design for you, again.

Katie: I’m trying not to judge, but what if bill hadn’t survived?

Brooke: I don’t even want to think about that.

Katie: Well think about it. What if it had happened? I mean if that bullet was one millimeter to the left or to the right, he would be dead. I would be raising my little boy without his father. I mean we thought that we were going to lose him. He was in a coma for weeks. I mean that’s what keeps playing over and over and over again in my head.

Brooke: I know. All the what ifs. It could’ve been a tragedy.

Katie: We got lucky. Taylor got lucky. She could’ve killed him.

Brooke: She wouldn’t have been able to live with herself. She barely can as it is.

Katie: Well, it must be a hard thing to accept about yourself, that you could take a human life. I mean it’s not like it was an accident.

Brooke: Taylor wasn’t in her right mind.

Katie okay, I get that you’re friends now and she was having some kind of episode, but that doesn’t excuse what she did. I mean, I’m not saying that she should be in jail, it happened a long time ago.

Brooke: Bill didn’t even want to see her incarcerated.

Katie: Only now, he’s using it to blackmail her in exchange for sheila’s release. That’s just lovely.

Brooke: And that’s the real tragedy. The only reason this is being brought up again is because of sheila carter. And I’m not gonna let taylor suffer because of sheila.

Taylor: Look, steffy, we can’t live like this forever. You know, bill being in control, sheila hanging over our heads.

Steffy: We’ll live like this because there’s no other choice to be made.

Taylor: There is. I tell the truth!

Steffy: Mom! Don’t! Stop!

Taylor: This blackmail with bill ends, sheila gets out of our lives and then, you know what? You and finn, you press charges. You testify. And guess what? Sheila goes down.

Steffy: You don’t understand. There is no guarantee. With bill’s power and influence and the lengths he’ll go to keep sheila from being in prison. There is no promise justice will be served, so can you get these thoughts out of your mind, please? I need you. The kids need you. So many people need you. Yes, we’ve all done things that we’re not proud of. But that is no reason to throw away your future. Tell me you understand that, mom. Promise me you’re not gonna turn yourself in.

For your most brilliant smile,

crest has you covered.

Taylor: I’m not even a violent person.

Steffy: Of course, you’re not.

Taylor: I didn’t go over to bill’s house that night to hurt him.

Steffy: No, you went there to protect me. You reacted in the heat of the moment.

Taylor: I snapped, I shot someone.

Steffy: Mom, you are not a criminal. You are a caretaker. You are so valuable to this world. Look, shooting bill, it gave you a rare perspective. It made you more understanding, more human, more compassionate. I mean, think about all the people that you have forgiven in a lifetime. You even forgave sheila for shooting you.

Taylor: That was stupid.

Steffy: Now it’s time to show yourself some mercy. You are an extraordinary woman. Never lose sight of that.

Taylor: Thank you, steffy. Thank you for your for your– for your kind words.

Steffy: Well, i mean it. You are too important to us. So don’t be tempted to go to the police, I am begging you.

Taylor: I need to go home, steff.

Steffy: No, mom. Why don’t you stay with us for a while?

Taylor: Uh, honey, I don’t want to interfere.

Steffy: You’re not interfering, not at all.

Taylor: Steffy, I– I love you so much. Watching you and the– and the woman that you have grown into is… it’s the greatest joy of my life.

Steffy: Best part, there is so much more to come.

Taylor: I’ll see you later, baby.

Thomas: You don’t have to give me an answer right now.

Hope: Not my answer to give.

Thomas: I get it. My fate is in the hands of my father and little sister.

Hope: Mmm, I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you. Steffy and ridge seemed pretty upset with you.

Thomas: So are you?

Hope: Hm. I have a lot of work to do thomas, so…

Thomas: Um, is that one of zende’s and granddad’s designs? Do you mind if I check it out?

[ Hope sighing ] I mean it’s, yeah, it’s– it’s nice. It’s um… the neckline is– is, um, it’s good. It’s very obvious.

Hope: Obvious?

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, look, obviously tremendous respect for my grandfather. He’s legendary in couture and– and zende is coming into his own, but… this is um, I mean, come on hope. This isn’t hope for the future.

Katie: Well, I have to get to my meeting. I guess I’ll let you get back up to the house.

Brooke: Katie, for what it’s worth, I understand why you’d be shaken by this news.

Katie: You mean that taylor shot my ex-husband and let liam believe that he was the shooter for weeks? Yeah, that’s gonna take a minute to settle in.

Brooke: And I don’t blame you. But I just hope these feelings are temporary. I really am hoping that you can show taylor some grace.

Steffy: Brooke?

Brooke: Steffy.

Steffy: Hi. Hey, katie.

Katie: Hey.

Steffy: Uh, I’m sorry, carmen sent me down here.

Brooke: Are– are you okay?

Steffy: Actually, I need to talk to you.

Brooke: All right, I’ll talk to you later.

Katie: Okay.

Steffy: Are hope and liam–

Brooke: They’re not here, they’re at work. So what is it? What’s the matter?

Steffy: It’s– it’s my mom.

Brooke: Is she okay? What’s wrong?

Steffy: I don’t know, but I’m really worried about her.

Taylor: It’s time for

the truth to come out. I’m jonathan lawson

Thomas: It’s a neat color, you know, and it, I see what granddad and zende were trying to do here. It’s simple. It’s elegant and it’s– it’s not straying too far from the status quo.

[ Thomas sighing ] Look, it is– it’s– it’s beautiful. You get what I mean though, right? I mean it’S… it is elegant. It’s wonderful. It’s definitely a forrester, but it’s not thomas forrester. Did that sound too arrogant?

Hope: Do you really want me to answer that?

Thomas: Okay, hope. You get what I’m saying, right? I mean, this– this isn’t representative of your– of your vision, of your line, of– of who you are. This isn’t pushing any boundaries.

Hope: And you’re certainly an expert at pushing boundaries.

Thomas: Walked right into that one, didn’t I?

Hope: Yup.

Thomas: You get what I mean, don’t you? Come on, hope. Just bring me back onto the line. I know that you’re already talking to steffy about it. Right? And look, I don’t even have to work here with you. I can work off campus for a while. You don’t have to pay me anything but a dollar. Come on, please just bring me back onto the team. You know how we work together? Let’s bring your line back to what it was when it was fun and it was exciting and it did push boundaries. Come on, hope. Just say yes.

Brooke: Tell me what happened.

Steffy: My mom keeps talking about turning herself in.

Brooke: No, she can’t do that.

Steffy: That’s what I keep saying, but she’s haunted by what she did to bill. She even compared herself to sheila.

Brooke: Oh, that’s ridiculous. She’s nothing like that lunatic.

Steffy: I know and I told her she doesn’t have to feel that way, but I don’t think I’m getting through to her. It’s like her conscience is eating away at her, not just because of shooting bill. She thinks that she’s responsible that sheila is roaming free and on top of that, she’s alone at the beach house, just–

Brooke: Okay, well why doesn’t she move back with you and finn and the kids?

Steffy: I– I tried. I tried to convince her to stay with us, but she feels as though she’s some kind of burden, that she’s interrupting our lives.

Brooke: She’s not a burden.

Steffy: That’s exactly what I said. What do I do, brooke? I need your input. I hate that my mom was alone at the beach house, especially ’cause she’s carrying all this shame and regret.

Brooke: It sounds like you’re doing everything that you can and I will too. I will be there for you and your mother.

Steffy: Thank you.

Brooke: Just glad you came to me.

Steffy: Honestly, I didn’t really know where to turn. You and my mom have built a nice friendship, although I’m still getting used to sharing my mom with you.

Brooke: I like your mom very much. She’s become a very dear friend to me and I know what it’s like to feel isolated and fall into a depression. So, we need to make sure that your mom doesn’t do anything that she regrets.

[ Taylor sighing ]

[ Door creaking ]

[ Gun firing ]

Taylor: Sheila carter’s a free woman, but she’s far from innocent. However, she’s not the only one whose crimes should be brought to justice. I am too. I’m the person who shot bill spencer. Who shot bill spencer… who shot bill spencer…

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

At the Brady Pub, Roman brings coffee to John and Steve for their strategy session. Steve asks Roman if he’s sure that he’s okay with going after Orpheus. Roman assures that Orpheus has already taken the women they love and he doesn’t want to think about him going after their kids or grandkids, so he will not let Orpheus hurt another person they love. Steve declares that the only way to stop him is to put him in the ground. John adds that the only question is how do they want to do it?

Orpheus brings Lucas another bottle of whiskey in prison. Orpheus remarks that now that his killjoy brother isn’t around to deprive him, Lucas can actually enjoy it.

Stephanie goes to the Titan office to see Sonny but instead finds Alex at the desk.

At the Horton House, Chad enters the living room where Doug and Julie are emotionally going through an old family photo album. Julie starts to cry while thinking of all the people they have lost and says she just hopes they have found peace…

In the Afterlife, the fake and possessed “Susan Banks” reveals himself to Marlena, Kate, and Kayla, turning out to actually be Nick Fallon! Nick explains that he was afraid if he revealed his true form to them, they wouldn’t give him the time of day. Nick confirms that he made Kayla believe that he was Adrienne, made Marlena believe he was Susan, and for Kate, he posed as Jordan Ridgeway. Marlena questions why he is here while Kayla asks why they are here. Nick reveals that he needed them to sign the papers that he got them to sign.

Roman says how to kill Orpheus isn’t the problem, but how to get close to him. John agrees, noting that Orpheus getting locked up didn’t keep them safe from him but it does keep him safe from them. Roman remarks that they can’t just stroll in to prison with a gun. Steve says the easiest way to get next to a prisoner is get sent to prison. Steve suggests getting locked up with Orpheus, pointing out that he has a criminal record so all he has to do is commit the right crime, plead guilty, and he’ll be on his way to get close to Orpheus.

Orpheus encourages Lucas to take a drink. Lucas tells Orpheus to enjoy it. Orpheus claims he was just trying to cheer him up, since he’s been walking around with a black cloud over his head. Lucas responds that it’s because his mom is dead. Orpheus remarks that he’s sorry for his loss. Lucas says at least he can take satisfaction in knowing they are in here together. Orpheus takes a drink of the whiskey and asks if Lucas is glad to spend some quality time with him. Lucas responds that if it were up to him, he’d watch him burn in Hell but justice is the next best thing. Lucas declares that his mother may have lost her life, but at least he knows her killer will never breathe fresh air again. Orpheus says he sympathizes with his anger, but says the problem is he’s not the one who killed Kate.

Roman questions Steve wanting to commit a crime to get close to Orpheus. John asks if Steve has any crime in mind. Steve says it would have to be something serious enough to get him sent to Orpheus’ cell block. Steve suggests an old fashioned breaking and entering. Steve asks what Roman thinks about using the Pub. Roman doesn’t think that would get him in to a cell with a murderous thug like Orpheus. John agrees that he’d need a serious offense for that. Roman asks what if he doesn’t actually have to commit a crime. Roman suggests Steve try convincing Melinda that he needs to get close to Orpheus and she might be happy to send him to prison. John thinks Melinda would question why Steve wants to get close to Orpheus. Steve thinks Melinda might want Orpheus to pay for his crimes, but she wouldn’t sign off on his cold blooded murder. John says they are back to square one. Steve feels they need to find an honest way to get him sent to prison. Roman points out that he could commit the perfect crime but it could end up being months before he’s sent to prison. John then points out that once Steve takes Orpheus out, they wouldn’t be able to get him out of jail. Roman and John agree that Kayla and Marlena wouldn’t want that. John says they can’t do this because Steve’s family needs him and Orpheus has taken enough from them.

Lucas accuses Orpheus of poisoning Kate just like he did to Kayla and Marlena. Orpheus doesn’t deny that but says that was the culmination of a war that began a long time ago. Orpheus calls that old news and says that Kate was cured of her ailment months ago, as were her others. Lucas argues that she was in remission but wasn’t cured. Orpheus says that if they continued to receive treatment from the Orchid, they would’ve all gone on to live long, productive lives. Lucas blames Orpheus for the women being gone. Orpheus suggests Lucas take it up with Kristen for withholding the orchid. Lucas argues that it wasn’t on Kristen, but whoever stole the orchid. Orpheus tells him that is his culprit. Orpheus asks why Lucas and the rest chase down this dastardly Orpheus thief. Lucas points out they have no idea who it is. Orpheus suggests he save his anger for Rafe then because if the police did their job, he’d know exactly who signed the death warrant for his mother.

Alex asks Stephanie if she’s okay. Stephanie responds that she was just expecting to find Sonny here. Alex understands since it is Sonny’s office. Stephanie asks if he’s around. Alex informs her that he took the day off to spend it with Will and Arianna, so he’s handling any pressing Titan business. Alex asks if she needs him to take a look at something. Stephanie says no and that it’s okay as it’s just PR work that can wait a week. Alex notes that she is really on top of it. Stephanie says she’s just trying to stay busy and asks him to tell Sonny that she dropped it off which he agrees to do. Stephanie then goes to leave but stops and informs Alex that she read his card.

Julie tells Chad that she used to love going through the old photo albums, but the older she gets, the more people she realizes that they have lost. Doug jokes about almost being 100. Julie says she cherishes every single moment with him and all the people she loves. Julie wishes all of them could have been as lucky as they are because she misses them all that were taken before their time. Julie says even the ones whose lives were spinning out of control, like her poor tortured cousin Nick…

Kate, Marlena, and Kayla question Nick about what they have signed that they were told was supposed to get them to the next level of Heaven. Nick reveals that they were actually signing a contract of sale. Nick informs them that they have just sold him their souls. Kate asks if Nick is telling them that he’s the Devil which he laughs at. Nick says that’s a different guy. Marlena guesses he just works for him which Nick confirms. Nick says the Devil is not a bad boss if you do his bidding. Nick tells Marlena that the Devil misses her. Nick notes that the Devil is very busy, so he dispatched him to get them to sign over their souls. Nick jokes that he thought it’d be a lot more difficult, but it was easy. Nick declares that there is now nothing left to do but collect.

Lucas tells Orpheus that he can pass the blame all he wants, but Kate, Kayla, and Marlena’s deaths are on his head. Lucas argues that if they were never infected, they wouldn’t have needed the cure. Orpheus repeats that they had the cure until it was stolen. Orpheus calls it peculiar that someone set something in motion and then someone else responds leading to consequences no one could have been seen. Lucas argues that Orpheus knew what would happen because he wanted them dead. Orpheus says he’s bored talking in circles, so he has to go mop the kitchen. Lucas hopes he falls and breaks his neck. Orpheus says he won’t take it personally since he’s going through a traumatic time. Orpheus claims he was just trying to help because he hates to see him suffer. Orpheus leaves the bottle of whiskey with Lucas as he exits the visiting room.

Alex questions Stephanie reading his card. She thanks him for writing it and for his apology. Alex assures that he meant every word and that he has never regretted anything more in his life. Alex repeats that he is truly sorry. Stephanie says she believes him and she appreciates everything that he said. Alex guesses it’s not enough for another chance. Stephanie says she’s sorry but she doesn’t think they can go back to what they had before because too much has happened. Alex asks if that’s because of him turning her phone off or because she slept with Chad.

Julie talks about how she still thinks about Nick all the time and what went wrong. Julie says she’s still grieving for Nick and if he was still on Earth, she would try to help him with what he did but he’s gone. Doug adds that it will take a far higher power to judge Nick. Julie thinks if there’s any justice at all, Nick will suffer for his sins in the afterlife. Chad hopes that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla’s killer will suffer the same fate.

John wonders if they are making this more complicated than it has to be because they don’t need to be in prison long, just for a moment alone with Orpheus. Roman asks if he means visiting. John points out that prisoners have visitation, so once they get alone with him, they take him out. Steve admits that would take out a lot of steps. Roman reminds him of the prison’s security with guards everywhere so they can’t just walk in with a weapon. John points out that weapons come in many forms so they can figure that out. Roman asks what happens after Orpheus turns up dead after they visit him. Steve says they can worry about the consequences after they take Orpheus out. John questions if Roman is still on board with this. Roman assures that he is on board with killing Orpheus, but not with him taking the rest of their lives. John says they are brainstorming here and asks Roman how to waste the guy without taking their own freedom. Roman says they can’t get close enough to Orpheus to get caught or there’s no vindication. Roman suggests they come at Orpheus indirectly.

Alex informs Stephanie that when he brought the card and flowers, the door was open and he wasn’t trying to look but she was there with Chad in his line of sight. Alex reveals he saw them kissing and got the message loud and clear, so he left everything at the door and took off. Stephanie remembers hearing something that night. Alex adds that he ran in to Chad this morning and he was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, so he did the math. Stephanie confirms she’s not going to deny it because she has no reason to lie to him. Stephanie tells Alex that it wasn’t planned but she and Chad had gotten close. Stephanie talks about how Chad was still grieving and wasn’t in the place to be in a relationship, but then last night, he showed up and said he was finally ready to move on. Alex remarks that it’s good timing since Stephanie was available.

Kate argues that every contract has loopholes but Nick says the terms are laid out clearly and that the Devil has lawyers. Kate questions the contract which Nick explains are not in English since he was around before that existed. Nick confirms to them that their souls now belong to Satan. Kate asks what they get in return for selling their souls. Marlena says the Devil tends to offer an earthly reward for one’s souls. Marlena talks about how in movies, the person gets their reward while they are alive. Kate points out that the Devil only comes after they die. Nick jokes that those movies sound amazing. Kate questions again what they get in return for selling their souls. Nick decides he does owe them a reward and they are getting it after they died, but he thinks they will find it was well worth the wait. Nick then hands them each a two dollar bill. Marlena questions selling their souls for two dollars. Nick talks about how the two dollar bill is rare. Kate calls it ridiculous and useless. Marlena calls it insane and Kayla calls it pathetic. Kate hits Nick and calls him a son of a bitch.

Steve questions how to go after Orpheus indirectly. Roman reminds him that they already have someone in prison in Lucas. John questions asking Lucas to take out Orpheus. Steve acknowledges that Lucas lost his mom, so he’s just as furious as they are and desperate for revenge. Roman points out that Lucas is not beyond the crime after what he did to Sami, but clarifies that he’s not talking about asking Lucas to do their dirty work, just to provide some intel. Roman feels Lucas would have some clever ideas on how to get to Orpheus, so the first step is he will pay Lucas a visit.

Chad looks through the photo album and sees a picture of he and Abigail on their wedding day, which he calls the happiest day of his life. Julie and Doug talk about worrying about Chad being deep in pain and understanding that pain will never entirely go away. Julie says they are hoping and praying that somehow, someday, Chad is able to find love again. Chad mentions that he and Jack actually just talked about that. Julie informs him that Jack told her that he was encouraging Chad to move on. Chad admits it was helpful. Chad then reveals to Doug and Julie that it was new, but he’s started seeing Stephanie Johnson which Doug and Julie call wonderful. Julie praises Stephanie and points out that his kids adore her. Julie thinks they would be good together. Chad is glad to hear her say that. Julie wishes them all the happiness and says they have been in desperate need of good news like this.

Stephanie tells Alex that she didn’t know if Chad would ever be able to move on and then she and Alex got together. Alex points out that now she’s free because of what he did and he accepts that he made a terrible mistake that he can’t take back. Alex wishes he could give her another chance to talk to her mother but he can’t do that either. Stephanie tells Alex how hurt she was by him turning her off her phone, but she understands that he didn’t do it on purpose and it was just a case of really bad timing. Stephanie says if they were just talking about their relationship, maybe she could try to get past it, but now there is something between her and Chad and she wants to see where it goes.

Kate tells Nick that this is a crap deal. Marlena adds that it’s not fair. Kayla refuses to go anywhere with him. Kayla points out that none of them knew what they were signing, so the deal cannot be binding. Nick tells them to open their minds as they are not in a courtroom in Salem, but in the Great Beyond where he has final word. Kate argues that Nick only works for the Devil, so they are going to do the end run around him. Kate says they are demanding to talk to his boss.

Alex thanks Stephanie for being honest with him and making her feelings clear. Alex didn’t know if what was happening with her and Chad was a one time thing. Stephanie confirms they are taking it day by day and she doesn’t know what the future holds for them, but she’s hopeful. Alex tells Stephanie that he won’t keep bothering her or begging for her to come back. Stephanie thanks him. Alex says as far as Titan, Sonny is still the CEO so he can handle whatever she needs. Stephanie thinks that is best for a little while. Stephanie adds that maybe after Kayla’s funeral and things settle down a bit, maybe they can still be friends.

Roman visits Lucas in prison. Lucas asks what he’s doing here. Roman says he came for a visit. Lucas didn’t think he’d ever want to see or talk to him after what he did to Sami. Roman admits he’s still angry about that but no matter what, he’s still Kate’s son and she knows he would hate for him to be alone. Lucas thanks him and says it means a lot to him. Roman asks how he is. Lucas admits he’s not doing good as it’s getting to him and he’s falling apart, he’s lonely, and he just had a run in with Orpheus to top it off.

Nick questions Kate wanting to speak with the Devil which Kate confirms. Kayla thinks it’s a great idea. Marlena doesn’t think it’s too much to ask to have the Devil come. Kate warns that unless they speak with the Devil, they are going nowhere.

Julie tells Chad that Doug is making lunch for them in the kitchen. Julie adds that she hopes he does find happiness because he deserves it as she then heads back to the kitchen. Chad sits down with the photo album and says he knows Abigail said she only cared that he and the kids were happy and that she wanted him to move on. Chad wishes there was some way he could know that she was actually okay with it. Chad hears Julie’s laughter from the kitchen and smiles. Chad talks about how he and Abigail used to imagine being like Doug and Julie and able to look back at a lifetime shared together. Chad knows how much Abigail loved Stephanie. Chad admits that Stephanie makes him and the kids happy. Chad declares that for the first time since he lost Abigail, he’s able to look forward to the future. Chad adds that as wonderful as that future may be, there’s always going to be a part that’s missing no matter who comes in to his life because no one will ever replace Abigail.

Stephanie is sure Alex doesn’t want to hear that she wants to be his friend, but she doesn’t want him to think that she hates him because she doesn’t. Alex says he’s glad and that they had a good time together. Alex repeats that he’s sorry about her mother and everything. Stephanie thanks him and then exits the office.

Steve gets some beers for he and John. Steve asks what’s on John’s mind and if he’s having second thoughts. John says not about Orpheus, but about Roman. John points out that Roman wasn’t on board at first but now he’s the one at the prison. Steve says Roman is less compromised than they are. John states that it’s not easy living with blood on your hands. Steve points out that Roman made his own decision and with any luck, Lucas will make the same one.

Roman questions Lucas about seeing Orpheus. Lucas explains that Orpheus was trying to push alcohol on him but he didn’t accept. Lucas gives Roman the whiskey and tells him to get rid of it. Roman asks what Orpheus was trying to accomplish. Lucas says that Orpheus was trying to ruin his life by getting him to fall off the wagon, but he was not going to give him the satisfaction. Roman then suggests it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if he did.

Marlena asks Nick if they are going to stand here or if he’s going to take their request to the Devil. Kayla tells Nick to make the call. Nick says they are just delaying the inevitable but he will relay their request. Nick then offers them food and guarantees that things are about to get a lot more unpleasant…

Young & The Restless Update

Y&R logo

Update written by Barbara

Victoria comes to Nate’s office after business hours with a bottle of 25-year old single malt, the “good stuff,” as she refers to it. She tells him that she got it for her birthday, but tonight is a special occasion because she wants to have an “outside-of-the-box” strategy. Nate is down for it. When she mentions that she wants to snatch up Daniel’s Omegasphere gaming platform as well as McCall Unlimited, Nate is all in. His take on the matter is that this is exactly the type of move that Devon would have rejected because it he would consider it too risky.

Nate also lets Victoria that Audra is his secret weapon for intel on McCall Unlimited because Audra is still in touch with Tucker. Victoria is a bit leery of Audra, but Nate assures her that Audra is loyal to them now.

As Nate and Victoria continue to drink, he opens up to her about how he feels that he has to present a different image to most people, but is fine around her. After the two of them comment about being aware of what it takes to make things happen, Victoria leans in and kisses Nate squarely on the lips. Nate responds in kind before she pulls away and hastily concludes the meeting.  After wishing each other a good night, Nate exhales deeply and has a pensive look, while Victoria looks a bit rattled outside his office door.

At the Abbott house, Jack surprises Diane with an evening of romance, complete with champagne and him wearing a tuxedo. They reflect on how they’ve ended up where they are now, and Jack says he thinks that maybe them being reunited has been in the cards a long time.

Then he mentions that finding Diane again might be the fulfillment of a prophecy from his mother, Dina. He explains the “Teardrop of Love” emerald necklace Dina had and how each of her children got a piece when she died. Jack shows Diane his emerald cuff links and tells her that perhaps the teardrop of love just needed a little time to work its magic.

Jack wants to look forward to his and Diane’s future, but she feels a little nervous and is concerned about getting the rug pulled out from under them. Jack assures her that he can do the grand planning for both of them, suggesting traveling and fun adventures with Harrison.

Diane tells him that what she wants is Christmas with the whole family, celebrating the holidays with people that matter to her. She continues, saying that she wants traditional Abbott breakfasts and picnics on the lake. She also mentions that says that she wants what they’re experiencing in the moment because she feels worthy and wanted and safe with Jack.

At Society, Billy and Chelsea are having a casual dinner, but things become awkward when their server assumes they’re on a date and tells them that they’re seated at the most romantic table in the restaurant.

Chelsea becomes concerned about the server mentioning her incorrect assumption to her boss, Abby, who’s an Abbott and that the news will reach the rest of the Abbott family. A few minutes later, Billy calls the server over and clarifies that he and Chelsea are not on a date. He leaves the server a $50 tip, which Chelsea jokes about being a bribe.

Chelsea invites Billy into her apartment where she makes tea for them. Billy lets her know that he’s being “uber cautious” about their friendship. Chelsea assures him that she is fine. Billy tells her that he feels like he got a glimpse into her soul, felt like he saw her, and that’s a gift.

Chelsea isn’t sure what to make of their evening together, but lets Billy know that she had a wonderful time. They talk about how they went through something traumatizing and intense together.  Chelsea tells Billy that it goes both ways, over the past few months she’s seen his soul, too. She adds that she knows who he is and it brings her a lot of comfort. She tenderly kisses his cheek.

Nick comes to Sally’s suite with all kinds of healthy snacks and finds her crying. When he asks what’s wrong, she tells him that hormones, fears and emotions are overwhelming her. She also opens up about being devastated when her parents let her down and is concerned about doing the same thing to her own child.

Unbeknownst to Sally and Nick, Adam shows up at the hotel and is about to knock on Sally’s door. He hears Nick’s voice inside her suite, decides against knocking on the door, and leaves.

Nate: Uh, just to be sure I’m putting in the hours and you’re getting your money’s worth?

Victoria: I never worry about that with you. No, I need your help with something.

Nate: What’s going on?

Victoria: This is what’s going on. It’s the good stuff.

Nate: Nice. Okay, now, I know the company has a lot of divisions, but i didn’t know we had a distillery on site.

Victoria: Well, that’s not a bad idea, but we don’t have one yet.
[ Laughs ] It was a gift. I was told to open it on a special occasion. So, we’re opening it tonight.

Nate: Okay. What’s the occasion?

Victoria: We are gonna forget about business as usual, and we are gonna step outside of the box.

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

Nate: Of course you are. Everybody goes through it.

Sally: Even you?

Nick: Yeah, even me. Seriously, I was worried sick with every kid. Now, it did get easier, but it’s still very scary.

Sally: But you’re a natural. I’ve seen you with your kids. You’ve got, like, a dozen world’s best dad mugs.

Nick: Well, if everybody says it, it must be true.

Sally: [Laughs]

Nick: Look, I got those mugs ironically. Before Noah was born, I wasn’t ready for that. I was a mess, like you are, too, but you’re gonna get through it. I promise. You know, part of the problem is the buildup. Nine months seems like it’s forever. But trust me — it goes by so fast. And then the baby gets here, and everything changes.

Sally: Yeah, then it gets really scary.

Nick: No, no, no. That’s the crazy part. When your baby’s born and you see it and you get to hold it, it’s just — everything makes sense. Right now, everything is like the unknown for you, but I’m telling you, when they hand that baby to you, you can’t imagine loving something that much. The fear goes away, and everything becomes clear to you.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Xander tells Sarah that he and Gwen slept together. Sarah said she shouldn’t be surprised that he would sleep with someone the night their marriage ended. She asked if it had to be Gwen. She said if he was looking for a way to get back at her for divorcing him, he did it. Gwen said Xander’s list of crimes was worse than hers, but Sarah had no problem taking off his kilt and having sex with him every chance she got. Sarah said she thought Xander wanted to change. Gwen said he only worked for Ava to support her in the lifestyle in which she has become accustomed. Sarah said it was no surprise Gwen would find kidnapping for hire acceptable even when someone dies. Sarah said they were free to be together. When she walked off, he told Gwen that he was sick of apologizing for who he is. He said he knew Jack and Sarah would always assume the worst in them no matter what they do. He said he wanted to prove them right and get back at them. Steve met with John and Roman at the pub. Steve told them they were going to kill Orpheus. Roman was hesitant about the plan. Steve said they let their wives down. He said Orpheus was after them, so they needed to finish him. John agreed with Steve. John wanted to get him. Roman didn’t think it was a good idea. John said if he didn’t talk Steve out of killing Orpheus, they would be with their wives. He said he was siding with Steve. Roman finally agreed with them.

Susan brought Marlena breakfast. Marlena wanted to know where Kayla was. Susan checked her list again. She said Kayla is in a good place. Marlena was relieved.

Jordan said she was. Kate said that wasn’t fair considering she hated her. They talked about Kate bringing Clyde back into their lives. Kate apologized. She said she was a good mother and Roman fell in love with her again. She asked if that meant she had a soul worth saving. Jordan said she made a good argument, but she had to sign the document confirming her contrition. She said the document would burn if she was lying. She said Kate would be doomed for eternity. Kate signed the document. When to document didn’t burn, Jordan said she was on the way to being a better person. She said she couldn’t send her to heaven, but she could send her to the next level. When Kate went on the stairs, Jordan’s eyes glowed. Marlena asked Susan about Kate. She asked if Kate made it to heaven. Susan said Kate was on a spiritual journey.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You really slept with one Uhhuh . The ink on our divorce papers isn’t even dry yet, and you already slept with that horrible woman. Uh, I’m right here, but I do know is officially none of your business. I wanna make something clear. I don’t want you putting Gwen down how defending your girlfriend’s honor.

She couldn’t be way too rid of a criminal like me. What you care how I spend my night?

You laughing at me because you do this every time we go out to breakfast. Do what? Take half an hour dithering over the menu.

How many years have we been coming here for breakfast? And you always order the same thing. Do not. Western almond skilled potatoes and crisp bacon. Sometimes I order sausage . Oh, I do love that about you. You know what you want. That’s a fact.

Show what you gonna be? Sweet Rose. I Gotted style. Ooh, peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich. Seriously, I added that one. It’s the king’s absolute favorite breakfast. And when I say King, I don’t, don’t, I don’t want breakfast. Do you understand? All I want is information. Where is Kayla? Hello? Can anybody hear me?

I’ve been dead for weeks and nobody’s come from me. Hello, anybody? Oh, is that a voice? No, sounds familiar. Excuse me, Kate. Hello, is anyone in charge here?

I’m

Hello. Hello? Can I get some service?

Hello? Hello? Are you ignoring me? Don’t touch me.

Jordan, welcome to

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

Hey, did you get any sleep last night? Oh, I don’t know. Maybe a couple hours. How about you? Well, you know, I think, uh, I’m sleeping a little better, I guess. You, uh, want your regular just coffee please. Thanks. Long way to come for just coffee. Hmm. Well, I got a text from Steve. He wants to talk to me. I’m assuming it’s on funeral arrangements.

Yeah, yeah. You know, I think as difficult as that’s gonna be once we all get through it, maybe baby, maybe it just might be a little easier to. Keep going. Well, I hope you’re right about that, Roman, without doubt by my side, I don’t think anything is gonna ever be easy again.

You’re still threatening over Dr. Kay. Shoot. She was my.

She is my best friend and I need to find her. So would you please check your list? Oh, But only because you are my best friend in the whole white world. All right, now I’ve already looked under both Junction and Brady. Just, just keep checking. Okay. Just ready.

Well here it is. So fool. Put it under K for Kayla. Well that’s great cuz Nash is in the good place too. Just like you.

Jordan Ridgeway. I can’t believe this. It has been such a long time, Kate, and we have so much catching up to. Yeah. Well, I guess it’s official then, because if I’m stuck here with you, that means I died and went straight to hell. Kate, Kate, Kate is me. Kayla, your sister-in-law. I’m, I’m, I mean, I’m in this room with a locked door.

It’s been weeks. Somebody, anybody please get me the hell out of here. We don’t usually cuss up here.

Oh my God.

I was so surprised when they told me you were here. I thought for sure they made a mistake.

It’s really you. Oh.

You feel like I didn’t even know. You seem to have me sized up the other day. I’m just a lying, kidnapping thug. Isn’t that right? Do you deny that you traumatized Bonnie or that you are part of the reason that Susan is dead?

I shouldn’t be surprised that the night that our marriage ended, you slept with someone else. But if all the women in the world did it have to be her,

look at you got your appetite. I’m just so relieved that Kayla is where she deserves to be. I think I’m gonna need a friend and so will she. Oh, don’t you worry your little head about Dr. Kayla Cha. Cause she is about to meet a

now. Ah, Adrian, we have all missed you so much. I wish Steve could see you and, and Justin and the kids. I know my passing was a tremendous shock to them. It was for all of us. I just keep thinking of my family and what they must be going through right now. You know, I, I, I always assumed that people in heaven didn’t have the care in the world.

I’ll tell you something, I am so worried about. And how much pain he must be in. All I know is your husband is gonna be okay with a little help from his friends.

Hey guys. I’m sorry, but you’re gonna have to leave. What? Yeah, this place has been booked for a private event today. I guess nobody told you. That’s right. Well, and don’t worry about the bill. I’ll take care. You want us to just go? Yeah, I can come back tomorrow for breakfast. The breakfast will be on Roman, by the way.

But you have to go right now. I won’t. You, uh, take your toast with you he way to the car. Here you go. More shoes for you. Don’t worry about the glass. Roman won’t mind Right this way.

What the hell was that all about? Well, something tells me that this meeting is not about funeral arrangements. You got that right? Okay. Well, since I own this place, you wanna tell me what’s going on? We have a new case. We are on bereavement bereave. Not anymore. What kind of case is. The kind that needs to be top secret.

Oh, great. So this is my punishment for a lifetime of sin and shame being, being stuck in hell with you. Still as melodramatic and self-centered as ever. Honk Kate, an fyi. The infernal region. This ain’t, oh really? Oh. So where are we then? Well, we call this the in between place. It’s not as majestic as heaven, not as sweltering as hell.

We’re somewhere in between. Oh, so how long will I have to be? I mean, how many decades of rosaries am I going to have to say before I get that upgrade? It’s not that simple. The souls of individuals who end up here must be judged to see if they’re worthy of moving forward or if they must descend the eternal stairway all the way to the bottom floor.

So who’s going to judge my. Let go get them.

Oh, Dr. Kayla Johnson is in very good hands. . And what about Kate?

Do you suppose it, she made it here as well? I made anything.

Would you check your list again

please? Okay. But this is the last look she that I can do for you.

Look how your horses, you don’t got enough places to look. You know, I got beef for Brady. R for Roberts. D for Damara. What about, what about Cave for Kate? Oh, well, I.

She is. Oh. Oh, that’s wonderful. Kate needed to heaven. Not exactly.

So my eternal fate is in your hands. Damn right it is. Well, I don’t see how that’s fair. You see, when we were alive, you hated. And you don’t think I had good reason? I mean, besides the fact that you are a miserable excuse for a human being. You were so jealous of my relationship with rape that you went digging around behind my back trying to sabotage me.

Talk about holding a grudge. A grudge. Oh, this is more than a grudge lady. This is hatred for all of e. What, why be? Just because I was curious about you because I was trying to find out what your story was just because you found Clyde Weston and told him where I was hiding. I didn’t know what he had done to you, Jordan.

Irrelevant. Okay, you, you brought the man who molested me back to Salem thereby ruining my life and now it is finally coming back to ha new Catherine. Finally,

if you wanted to hurt me, you succeeded. You slept with the heartless bitch. That left me wasting away on Kristen’s private island. Here we go again. Oh, I’m sorry. Are you sick of hearing about all the awful things that you did to me and the people that I love? That’s really too bad. Did it slip your. That she worked overtime to convince you that I didn’t love you anymore.

All while knowing I was wandering around Kristin’s creaky old mansion, thinking I was some dead heiress named Renee. I remember, or maybe after Chad and Abigail rescued me, you’ll remember that your bed made. Gave me a second dose of a drug that could have left me permanently brain damaged. No, but it didn’t did it because you’re able to recall every single thing that I’ve done wrong.

And for your most recent unforgivable, wrong wrongdoing, sleeping with the sadistic a. Which,

so if you’re looking for a way to really get back at me for divorcing you, congratulations, you did it. Hats off to you.

Okay. Try not to worry. Steve has a great support system. John and Roman would go to the mat for him and so would your kids. Yeah. But John and Roman and Tripp, and Joey and Stephanie, they are all grieving too. They need Steve and I, I just, I just think, uh, think what? Tell me. I just think that Im the only one that really knows him.

I mean, you do of course, but you’re not there either. And I just know that when Steve is in this kind of. She couldn’t really go to a dark place. Look, I am excited that you are willing to tell me details of the top level Black patch case. But I stopped playing cops in robbers a long time ago. I’m running the business now, Steve, and you’re costing me paying customer.

Okay,

Dave, keep you. Damn Mike this. Damn. What is it about this case that’s got you so jacked up partner.

The client is me. What is up me? I’ve been thinking about. What’s gonna keep me going now that I’ve lost? Kayla came to me in the middle of the night. The three of us are gonna kill Orpheus.

Adrian, you remember how it was when I first met Steve, all he thought about was how he was gonna get back at someone who crossed him. Honey, that was decades ago. I know. But, but, but now, this whole thing that’s happened with Cade and Marlena and me, I just like the whole thing is gonna flare up again. And you were always there to talk him down.

Right. But I’m not there. Adrian, I am just so worth, but what sort of trouble Steve is gonna get into now. So you want the three of us to commence me? Can we slow this down a minute, guys? You both know it would be a service to humanity to put Orpheus down like a rabid dog. Yeah. Andy Self Steve, but I’m a retired police commissioner.

I shouldn’t even be hearing this. What are you worried about? Your pension, Steve? You know damn well isn’t it? I took her oath. Yeah. And where did that oath get Kate? And what about the vows we made to our wives? Huh? We promised to love, honor, and protect them. Now, maybe you can live with the way they died, but I can’t.

We failed them Roman. If you know what, there’s a very good chance that Orpheus could end up on death row. You don’t have to go rogue. Let the system take care of it. The system. Are you kidding? You’re gonna leave Orpheus’s fate up to Melinda Trask, for God’s sake. We’re the ones he’s after. We’re the ones who need to end him.

Do you know what I find? Absolutely hilarious. In all of this, the concepts of honor and integrity, you holy hortons, you just have no problem looking down on us and passing judgment, but then you’ll turn the other direction when it works for you. Do you know what? My police record is nowhere near as bad as Zanders is.

Sorry darling. But you had absolutely no problem ripping off his kilt and blowing on his bagpipes every chance that you got, did you? I believed he wanted a change. He didn’t want to work for Ava Vitali. He didn’t want to kidnap Susan or Bonnie. Do you know why he did it for you for the money so that he could support you and the lifestyle that you are so very used to you sanctimonious judgment.

Okay. Goodness. That’s enough.

I’m glad she. It explains everything you would think. Kidnapping for hire is a perfectly acceptable way to make a living, even if one of the victims dies.

Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t send your twisted, destructive soul straight to the bad place. What about your twisted little soul Jordan? Here you are in the afterlife. You still can’t find it in your heart. To forgive an innocent mistake, innocent you call subjecting the good citizens of Salem to a sick homicidal predator who molested his stepdaughter, who killed a mother of two and cold blood, an innocent mistake.

I call that a tragic and indefensible mistake. Oh, what are you saying? Are you blaming me for Abigail? Well, you are to blame. If you hadn’t brought Clyde West into town, Abigail Dara would still be alive. Those children would still have a mother. Okay. Just hold on. All right? Because Clyde would never have stopped looking for his son.

He would’ve founded you and Ben. It didn’t matter whether I intervened or not. And as I told you before, when I went looking for Clyde, I had no idea of what he had done to you when I thought that you were hiding something. That’s what I. But when I did find out how he had abused you, I felt horrible. Oh, so horrible in fact that you did nothing.

Yes, you’re right. I did not, I did not act quickly enough when I found out I should have washed my hands of him completely. And I didn’t. I didn’t. And I’m sorry. I am sorry for that, dude. All right. You’re. Now that I have your soul in my hands. Opportunistic much.

Okay. I get it. I do. It’s um, it’s too little, too late, but it is a sincere apology, Jordan.

Okay, look, you’ve gone on and on. My transgressions. Right. But you turn a totally blind eye to the the pluses of my record.

Okay. Kate, please indulge me with the pluses of your record. I always tried to be the best mother that I could. I was always there for my children no matter what, doing whatever I had to do to them. And they knew that. They knew that I was devoted to them. And then later in life, a good man, Roman Brady, it found it in his heart to forgive me and love me, a person like me.

And to my amazement, I found great happiness leaving with him in our apartment over the pub.

So can, considering that, don’t you think possibly I have a soul that could be saved?

Look, I, I know you have legitimate grievances against me. I really, I really do. But I have to tell you, I have changed. Roman really brought out a better side in me. You know, I was, I was less selfish. I was more compassionate kind of

well, You do make a compelling argument, but I’m gonna need proof. Okay? What do I have to do? You can sign a document that confirms your genuine contrition. All right, I’ll, I’ll sign that. If you are lying, the document will burst into flames immediately and you’ll be doomed for all of its. Okay. All right.

That’s fine. I, I will sign it. I can sign it. Okay. Here we go. I’m just gonna need you to sign right here next to every single word I uttered to Judge Ridgeway was the God’s honest truth.

No flame. Okay. Okay. Well then I guess I do believe that you feel sorry for ruining my life, albeit too late. And you are on a path to being a better person. It’s never too late for that, I suppose.

Well, I have to thank you so much for coming around the way that you. So maybe now we can fast track this transfer to heaven. I know this is staircase, but is there an elevator? Not so fast. But you said that I made my case. I said it was compelling. The decision of whether you make it up to the good place.

Well, that’s beyond my pay grade. But you said you were my judge. I am. And I am recommending that you move forward to the.

This document certifies that you have completed arbitration with me. So does that mean that I never, ever have to see you again? Careful. But thankfully, yes. Take this with you. You may now advance to the next round.

This is so great. Thank you. You have made. Oh, are you in my eternity? Jordan? You are an angel. Hardly. I really hope that Kate’s judges is fair and unbiased. Oh, everybody hears fair and unbiased. Now you gotta stop getting your head over your lady friends. See Dr. Kayla Brady Johnson and that moon. Okay.

They gotta make their own spiritual journey. Yeah. Now see, you need to start thinking about how you wanna spend eternity. I have.

I would like to see the people that I’ve lost. I’d like to see my baby DJ and my twin sister, Samantha. Oh, it would be so good to see Tom and Alice Horton again. And Sean and Caroline. Great. Oh my goodness. Yes. All in time. Only in time. Now, first you need to shine your release paper. What is it? Well, oh my goodness, , this is to advance you to the next level of heaven.

Okay. And that, that’s where the G is. All you need to do is shine your name,

you say, so you say so. There you go.

Kayla, after everything you’ve been through, I, I hate to think of you stressing so much over Steve. How can I not? He’s my husband. The love of my life. Kayla, your life is here now in.

What’s that? You’re way out of this room and it’s the afterlife. All you have to do is sign on the dotted line. Well, what is it exactly? It’s just a formality really. It states that you relinquish your earthly life and pledge your iort soul to God. Can’t I have a lawyer? Look at it. We don’t get too many of those.

It’s okay. Seriously me.

So this is about payback. It’s about protecting our families. Listen, Roman, I respect you for living by your code, but the problem with that is it makes you predictable to Orpheus. He only understands one form of justice and I for an eye, and he’s never gonna stop making us pay for his wife’s death. Hell by now.

It’s just a game to him. Look, I know the justice system isn’t perfect, but I still believe in it, and you can’t ask me to take the lawn to my own hands. I’m not asking just you. I want the three of us to do that. John Toxin sent to him. I’ve been listening to both of you.

I agree with. Steve, let’s get that bastard.

If you want to go along with this. John, you really can’t believe the killer Nous is the answer here, Wil. There’s something you don’t know.

When Orpheus was first released from prison, Steve wanted to meet me here. We sat at that table right there, and he told me that he wanted to take Orpheus out before he hurt or killed anyone. And I talked him out of it, and I use the same argument. She’s just.

Now, if I hadn’t done that, we would probably be having breakfast with our beautiful wives right now. So I gotta side with my partner. We need to wind this earth of my low arm now. No. Okay.

Hello? You’re all sucking. Your destiny. He’s waiting for you. You’re gonna come with me, right? Oh, I’m afraid you have to take this next step on your own, but we’ll have plenty of time together, I promise you that. I sure hope so. Adrian, spend his time with you. It’s really warm for my heart. Oh, sing the hair.

It’s,

you’re right. I worked , I told you. Okay.

Kayla Brady Johnson, you are so gullible.

What is next? Well, I’m just going to take this upstairs. I’m gonna file it and then I’m gonna come write that down here and I’m gonna introduce you to your Heavenly host and I am not talking about Ms. Hilda. Ms. Jan on that there today Show.

Marlina. Oh my gosh, Kayla. Oh, I’m so glad to see you. What are you doing here? Well, um, I’m, I come to the virus. Same. Is the same as you and Kate. No, no. I prayed and prayed. They would find an antidote to save you in time. It’s okay. I’m where I’m supposed to be.

Take this with you up those stairs. Well, I guess this is it then. Ah, let me just say once again from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for not holding me back,

Kate. Thank you.

Have you said everything you wanted to say or is there more? I honestly think that you and I don’t ever need to say another word to each other. Once Justin files those papers, you and Gwen will be free to spend the rest of your lives doing what you do best. Bringing mis.

God help this town.

Why? Wow. Kayla, you’re here too. Where are we? Ugh, I’m so relieved to see that you made it to the good place. I was worried about you. Ah, yes. I was so worried myself, but luckily, weirdly, judge Ridgeway took it easy on me, judge Ridgeway. Yes. The fate of my eternal soul was in the hands of none other than my ex-friend Jordan Ridgeway.

What I said to Sarah, and I was a bit harsh a bit, I just, I couldn’t. How going after you like that? Going after us? Of course you couldn’t, I mean, however harsh you were, it was only in reaction to Sarah lashing out at you. She provoked you go. Did you intimate? Well, this is quite new. What is you taking up for me like this, especially in regards to Sarah?

Well, you had my bag when the whole kidnapping thing blew up in my face, and I think about what that cost you. I don’t regret a single thing. Neither do I. I mean, for the first time in ages. You know what? Well, it feels good. Didn’t about you, but I’m sick of apologizing for who I am. Right? I mean, why should we have to go around town holding our little hats to people like my father and Sarah?

Yeah. I mean, it doesn’t work anyway. They just end up assuming. They assume the worst of us regardless of what we do.

I say we’ve proven, right? What does that mean? I say we take the good people of Salem for everything we can get.

Roman, I heard what you said before. We can’t do this without you. It’ll be like this conversation never happened. No, no, no. Why? If you’re gonna do this, it’s gotta be all or nothing. So what are you saying? I’m saying I’m man. Let’s make damn sure that Orpheus never hurts another living. So

you were locked in a room. I mean, that doesn’t sound very heavenly, and I thought purgatory was. Good. Good. Goody. The game is y’all here now. I need those papers you two signed

and I to sign papers too. Adrian brought them to me. Yo. Jordan Ridgeway made me sign papers as I couldn’t get out Purgatory. Oh, I show sure ladies. There’s benefit of a confusion. Why? What’s the matter? Well, I’m in Katy. That was not Jordan Ridgeway with you and Kayla, you were not visited by your lady sister-in-law.

Who was it? And I also hate to warm you, Dr. Ing. I am not your damn.

Well then who are you?

It’s you.

Update written by Joseph

In the town square, Sarah questions if Xander really slept with Gwen, which he confirms. Sarah argues that the ink on their divorce papers isn’t even dry yet. Xander tells Sarah that what he does now is officially none of her business and he doesn’t want her putting Gwen down. Sarah mocks him defending his girlfriend’s honor. Xander points out that Sarah couldn’t wait to get rid of a criminal like him, so he questions why she cares how he spends his nights.

John sits alone in the Brady Pub and sees a couple at the table nearby that causes him to have a flashback of being there with Marlena.

In the afterlife, Devil Susan brings Marlena breakfast but Marlena complains that she doesn’t want breakfast, she wants information and demands to know where Kayla is.

Kayla bangs on the gates of Heaven, complaining that she’s been dead for weeks and nobody has come for her. Kayla listens against the gate and hears Kate’s voice.

Kate descends a flight of stairs, wondering where she is. She finds “Jordan Ridgeway”, who welcomes her to Purgatory.

Roman approaches John at the Pub and asks if he got any sleep last night. John says maybe a couple hours and asks about him. Roman thinks he’s sleeping a little better. Roman asks if John wants his regular order. John says he’ll just have coffee. Roman points out that this is a long way to come for just coffee. John informs Roman that he got a text from Steve, wanting to talk, so he’s assuming it’s about funeral arrangements. Roman thinks as difficult as that’s going to be, once they get through it, maybe it just might be a little easier to keep going. John hopes he’s right about that because without Marlena by his side, he doesn’t think anything will be easy again.

Marlena insists on needing to find Kayla and asks Susan to check the list again. Susan claims to find Kayla’s name this time and says that’s great because now she’s in the good place just like Marlena is.

Kayla continues trying to listen behind the gates.

Kate can’t believe she’s seeing Jordan. Jordan says it’s been a long time and they have so much catching up to do. Kate guesses this means she died and went straight to Hell.

Kayla tries to get through to Kate and calls for anybody to get her the Hell out of here. “Adrienne Kiriakis” then appears behind her and says they don’t usually cuss up here. Adrienne says she was surprised when she heard Kayla was there. Kayla can’t believe it’s really Adrienne and hugs her.

Sarah feels like she didn’t even know Xander. Xander remarks that he’s just a lying, kidnapping thug. Sarah asks if he denies traumatizing Bonnie or being part of the reason that Susan is dead. Sarah adds that she shouldn’t be surprised that he slept with someone else on the night that their marriage ended, but questions if it had to be Gwen of all the women in the world.

Marlena eats the breakfast she was brought and says she’s relieved that Kayla is going to be there with her. “Susan” tells Marlena not to worry about Kayla as she’s about to meet a familiar face right about now.

Kayla tells “Adrienne” that they have all missed her so much and she wishes Steve, Justin, and the kids could see her. Adrienne knows her passing was a tremendous shock to them. Kayla says she just keeps thinking about her family and what they must be going through. Kayla adds that she assumed people in Heaven didn’t have a care in the world, but she is so worried about Steve and how much pain he must be in. Adrienne assures that Steve will be okay with a little help from his friends.

Steve arrives at the Brady Pub and tells the couple inside that they have to leave because the Pub has been booked for a private event. He tells them that he will pay their bill and that they can have breakfast on Roman tomorrow, so the couple exits. Roman comes over and asks what the hell that was all about. John guesses this meeting is not about funeral arrangements which Steve confirms. Roman asks what’s going on. Steve responds that they have a new case which Roman questions. Steve adds that it needs to be top secret.

Kate asks if her punishment for a lifetime of sin is being stuck in Hell with Jordan. Jordan calls her self-centered as ever and explains that they are not in Hell, but they are somewhere in between Heaven and Hell. Kate asks how long she has to be here before being upgraded. Jordan explains that the souls who end up here must be judged to see if they are worthy of moving forward or if they must descend the eternal stairway. Kate asks who will judge her case. Jordan reveals that will be her.

“Susan” assures Marlena that Kayla is in very good hands. Marlena then asks what about Kate and if she made it here as well. Susan guesses anything is possible. Marlena asks her to check the list again. Susan says this is her last look that she can do for her. She claims to find Kate’s name so Marlena is excited that Kate made it to Heaven, but Susan says not exactly.

Kate questions her eternal fate being in Jordan’s hands and doesn’t see how that’s fair since Jordan hated her guts while they were alive. Jordan argues that she had good reason and calls her a miserable human being that was so jealous of her relationship with Rafe, that she went behind her back to sabotage her. Kate argues that she’s holding a grudge. Jordan says this is hatred. Kate claims that she was just curious about her and did some digging while Jordan complains that she found Clyde Weston and told him where she was hiding. Kate points out that she didn’t know what Clyde had done to her. Jordan declares that Kate ruined her life and now it’s finally coming back to haunt her.

Sarah tells Xander that if he wanted to hurt her, he succeeded by sleeping with the heartless bitch who left her wasting away on Kristen’s private island. Sarah asks if Gwen is sick of hearing about all the awful things she did to her and the people she loves. Sarah reminds Xander that Gwen worked overtime to convince him that she didn’t love him anymore, while she was stuck in Kristen’s mansion. Xander confirms that he remembers. Sarah reminds Xander about Gwen giving her a second dose of a drug that could have left her permanently brain damaged. Gwen points out that it didn’t though. Sarah calls Gwen a sadistic, amoral witch. Sarah says that if Xander was looking for a way to really get back at her for divorcing him, he did it.

Adrienne encourages Kayla not to worry since Steve has a great support system with John, Roman, and their kids. Kayla argues that they are all grieving too, so they need Steve. Kayla feels she’s the only one who really knows Steve and when he’s in this kind of pain, he can really go to a dark place…

Roman is flattered that Steve is willing to tell him details of this top level Black Patch case but says that he stopped playing cops and robbers and runs a business now while Steve is costing him paying customers. Steve offers him money but Roman tells him to keep his money. John asks Steve about the case. Steve reveals that the client is himself. Steve explains that he’s been thinking about what’s going to keep him going, now that he’s lost Kayla, and it came to him in the middle of the night. Steve then declares that the three of them are going to kill Orpheus.

Kayla reminds Adrienne of when she first met Steve and how all he thought about was how to get back at people who crossed him. Kayla worries it’s going to flare up again now that she’s not there to talk him down. Kayla is worried about what kind of trouble Steve will get in to now.

Roman questions Steve wanting them to commit murder. Steve says it would be best for humanity to put Orpheus down. Roman reminds Steve that he’s a retired police commissioner so he shouldn’t be hearing this since he took an oath. Steve asks where that oath got Kate and what about the vows they made to their wives to protect them. Steve states that he can’t live with the way they died because they failed them. Roman points out that there’s a chance that Orpheus could end up on Death Row, so he doesn’t have to go rogue and leave it up to the system. Steve questions leaving Orpheus up to Melinda Trask. Steve declares that they are the ones that Orpheus was after so they should be the ones to end him.

Gwen tells Sarah that the Hortons have no problem looking down on them and judging, but they have no problem looking the other way when it suits them. Gwen argues that Sarah had no problem being with Xander. Sarah says she thought that he wanted to change. Gwen points out that Xander didn’t want to work for Ava or kidnap Susan, but he did it for the money to support Sarah. Xander interrupts and tells her that’s enough. Sarah responds that it explains everything because Gwen would think kidnapping for hire is a perfectly acceptable way to make a living, even if one of the victims dies.

Jordan asks Kate for one reason why she shouldn’t send her soul straight to the bad place. Kate asks about Jordan’s soul, questioning that Jordan can’t find it in her heart to forgive an innocent mistake. Jordan complains about everything Clyde did and calls that a tragic, indefensible mistake. Kate asks if Jordan is blaming her for Abigail’s death. Jordan points out that if Kate never brought Clyde to town, Abigail would still be alive and her children would still have a mother. Kate argues that Clyde never would’ve stopped looking for his son and would’ve found them eventually. Kate adds that she thought Jordan was hiding something but when she found out that Clyde abused her, she felt horrible. Jordan points out that Kate did nothing. Kate admits she didn’t act quickly enough and should’ve washed her hands of Clyde completely. Kate says she’s sorry for that. Jordan argues that she’s sorry now that she has her soul in her hands. Kate gets that it’s too little, too late, but insists that it is a sincere apology. Kate says that Jordan went on and on about her transgressions but turns a blind eye to the plusses of her record. Jordan tells her to indulge her with that. Kate points out that she always tried to be the best mother that she could and was there for her children, no matter what. Kate brings up Roman and how he found it in his heart to forgive her and love her and she found great happiness living with him in their apartment over the Pub. Kate asks if Jordan thinks she could possibly have a soul that could be saved. Kate knows Jordan has legitimate grievances against her, but insists that she has changed because Roman brought out a better side in her. Kate says she was less selfish, more compassionate, and kinder. Jordan admits that Kate makes a compelling argument, but says she’s going to need proof. Kate asks what she has to do. Jordan tells her that she can sign a document, confirming her genuine attrition which Kate agrees to. Jordan warns that if Kate is lying, the document will burst in to flames immediately and she will be doomed for all eternity. Kate insists that she can sign it. Jordan then offers her the paper to sign, saying that every word she said to her was the God’s honest truth. Kate signs it and hands it back, pointing out that there are no flames. Jordan guesses that she does believe Kate feels sorry for ruining her life and that she was on a path to being a batter person. Kate thanks Jordan for coming around and asks if they can fast track her transfer to Heaven. Jordan says not so fast and points out that the decision is beyond her pay grade. Kate thought she was her judge. Jordan says that she is and she recommends that Kate moves forward to the next level. Kate asks if that means she never has to see her ever again. Jordan confirms that and tells Kate that she may now advance to the next rung. Kate calls this so great and thanks her for making her day. Kate calls Jordan an angel and hugs her.

Marlena hopes Kate’s judge is fair and unbiased. Susan responds that everybody here is, encouraging that Kayla and Kate will make their own spiritual journey. Susan tells Marlena to start thinking about how she wants to spend eternity. Marlena responds that she would like to see the people she has lost like her baby DJ, her twin sister Samantha, Tom and Alice Horton, and Shawn and Caroline Brady. Susan says all in due time, but first she needs to sign her release paper to advance her to the next level of Heaven. Susan gives Marlena the paper to sign, which she does.

Adrienne hates to think of Kayla stressing so much over Steve. Kayla asks how could she not when he’s her husband and the love of her life. Adrienne points out that her life is here now in paradise. Adrienne offers Kayla a paper to sign which she says is her way out of this room and in to the afterlife. Kayla questions what it is. Adrienne calls it a formality, stating that she relinquishes her earthly life and pledges her immortal soul to God. Kayla asks if she can have a lawyer look at it but Adrienne says they don’t get many of those. Adrienne encourages Kayla to just trust her so Kayla signs the paper.

Roman asks Steve if this is about payback. Steve says it’s about protecting their families. Steve respects Roman for living by his code but the problem is, it makes him predictable to Orpheus because he only understands one form of justice; an eye for an eye and he will never stop making them pay for his wife’s death. Steve calls it just a game to Orpheus. Roman knows the justice system isn’t perfect but he still believes in it, so he can’t ask him to take the law in to his own hands. Roman asks John to talk some sense in to Steve, but John reveals that he agrees with Steve in wanting to get Orpheus. Roman questions John going along with this, arguing that he can’t believe killing Orpheus is the answer here. John informs Roman that there’s something he doesn’t know. John explains that when Orpheus was first released from prison, he met Steve here and Steve said he wanted to take out Orpheus before he hurt or killed anyone, but he talked him out of it. John points out that if he hadn’t done that, they’d probably be having breakfast with their beautiful wives right now, so he’s siding with Steve.

Adrienne tells Kayla that her destiny is waiting for her. Kayla asks if she’s not coming with her. Adrienne says she has to take this next step on her own, but promises they will have plenty of time together. Kayla says spending time with her warmed her heart as they hug. Adrienne then sends Kayla through the gates. Afterwards, Adrienne is revealed to be possessed by The Devil, who remarks that Kayla is so gullible.

Marlena asks Devil Susan what is next. Susan says she will take it upstairs and then she will come back to introduce her to her heavenly host. After Susan walks away, Kayla finds Marlena. Marlena hugs her and says she’s glad to see her. Kayla questions what Marlena is doing there. Marlena explains that she succumbed to the virus just like her and Kate. Kayla says she prayed they would find an antidote to save her in time. Marlena says it’s okay as she is where she’s supposed to be. Kayla then hugs Marlena.

Kate thanks Jordan for not holding her back as Jordan then sends Kate up the stairs. Jordan is then revealed to be possessed by the Devil as well.

Xander asks Sarah if she’s said what she wanted to say. Sarah doesn’t think they ever need to say another word to each other. Sarah declares that once Justin files their divorce papers, Xander and Gwen will be free to do what they do best; bring misery. Sarah says God help this town and walks away.

Kate joins Kayla and Marlena, surprised to see they are there too. Kate asks where they are. Marlena is relieved to see Kate made it to the good place since she was worried about her. Kate responds that weirdly, Jordan took it easy on her since the fate of her eternal soul was in the hands of Jordan Ridgeway.

Gwen tells Xander that she knows what she said to Sarah was a bit harsh, but she couldn’t take her gonig after them like that. Xander understands that Gwen was only reacting to Sarah lashing out and provoking her. Gwen calls it new for Xander to take up for her like this, especially with Sarah. Xander points out that Gwen had his back through the whole kidnapping and he knows what she gave up. They both say they don’t regret a thing. Xander declares that for the first time in ages, it feels good as he’s sick of apologizing for who he is. Gwen agrees and asks why they should have to go around town holding their hats to people like Jack and Sarah. Xander adds that they assume the worst of them, regardless of what they do. Xander suggests they prove them right and take the good people of Salem for everything they can get.

Sarah stops in the park and breaks down crying as she looks at a photo of her and Xander on her phone.

Steve tells Roman that he heard what he said before, so they can do this without him like this conversation never happened. Roman says no and that if they are going to do this, it has to be all or nothing. Roman says he’s in and declares they will make sure that Orpheus never hurts another living soul. Roman, Steve, and John all put their hands in together.

Kayla tells Kate and Marlena about how she was locked in a room. Kate comments that it doesn’t sound very heavenly. “Susan” returns as they talk about the papers they signed. Susan reveals there’s been some confusion as that wasn’t Jordan or Adrienne with them which they question. “Susan” then reveals not to be Susan either and removes their disguise.
