Update written by Dustin

At the Quartermaine mansion, Brook Lynn greeted Dante and provided him with the letter for the review board. Dante told her that it was too late.  The review board needed her letter by Friday of the previous week.  Brook Lynn was desperate to help Chase and said there must be something that she can do and rushed to get her coat.  Dante said that unless she had connections on the review board there was nothing she could do and even then Chase would not want her using her connections because she would be forced to lie.  Dante explained that Chase would not want his badge returned to him based on lies that were engineered by Brook Lynn.

Brook Lynn came clean to Dante and explained that she had been extremely selfish in her desire to take down Linc, and she had hoped that Chase would have eventually changed his mind and wanted to be a singer more than a cop. She told Dante that Chase had ended their relationship.  Dante appeared sad for her and said that he was sorry.  Brook Lynn said that there was no need for him to lie to save her feelings.  Dante explained that he wasn’t lying and that he thought that Chase had been happy with her. Brook Lynn was surprised when she heard this news.  Later, after Dante left she read the letter aloud she had written for the review board.  She then became angry and threw it across the room.  Suddenly, her emotions seemed to change and she vowed to do whatever was necessary to help Chase be restored to the police force. She made a call to an unknown individual and pleaded for “help.”

.At Rice Plaza, Nina and Sasha carried Christmas decorations to a table. Nina looked around and realized that she and Sasha had been the first to arrive, but Nina was confident the volunteers would be there shortly. Sasha was flattered that Nina had put her in charge of the holiday decorations for the plaza. Sasha assured Nina that she didn’t need her staying around to supervise and said she would not let Nina down. After Nina left, Sasha began to organize things when Chase arrived. Chase was curious what Sasha was up to, so she told him that Nina had put her in charge of transforming the plaza.

Chase thought it had been generous of Sasha to take on the project, but Sasha confessed that it helped her to stay busy, since the guardianship limited what she could do at Deception. Sasha invited Chase to help, and he took her up on the offer. He admitted that he needed something to focus on because he had broken up with Brook Lynn. Sasha felt bad for Chase, and offered to listen if he needed to talk. Chase explained the break up by saying that he and Brook Lynn simply had different priorities.

Chase accused Brook Lynn of acting in her own self-interest by putting his singing career ahead of his police career, but Sasha asked if it was possible that Brook Lynn had sincerely believed that Chase becoming a singer would be best for their relationship. Chase considered what she had said and said that she might have a point. 

Dante joined Chase and Sasha on the plaza. Chase wanted to know if Dante had heard anything from the review board. Dante told Chase that he had already given his testimony and hoped that it would help Chase. Chase thanked Dante. Sasha invited Dante to help them decorate and to her surprise, he agreed to help before going to work.

After Sasha went to fetch a box, Chase received a text notification. Chase read the text message. “It’s final. The review board turned down my appeal,” Chase said. Dante was obviously sympathetic to Chase’s plight. Chase’s tone filled with sadness as he realized that he was no longer a police officer — and would never be one again.

At Pozzulo’s, Valentin was escorted into Sonny’s office. Sonny asked about Anna, but Valentin revealed that Anna had decided to handle things on her own. Sonny was curious why Valentin had come to see him, so Valentin revealed that he had a business proposal for Sonny. Sonny wasn’t interested in doing business with Valentin. Sonny explained that his collaboration with Valentin had been for Anna’s sake because Anna was important to Sonny. 

Valentin asked if Sonny had heard of the Pikeman Security Group. Sonny was familiar with the mercenary group, so Valentin revealed that the group wanted to move “classified merchandise” through Port Charles — without interference from the government or law enforcement — and Sonny’s facilities would be ideal for the operation. Valentin acknowledged that he would receive a fee, but the group was prepared to pay Sonny $10,000,000 for every successful shipment. Sonny had reservations because it sounded too good to be true, and Sonny was curious how Valentin was connected to the group. Valentin explained that he had occasionally worked as a logistics contractor with Pikeman, and extending the offer to Sonny had earned Valentin a favor.

Sonny wanted to know about Valentin’s agreement with Pikeman, but Valentin would only tell Sonny that it had nothing to do with him or his organization. Valentin gave his word, but Sonny said that Valentin’s word was worthless to him. Valentin said that it would be in Sonny’s best interests to take Pikeman up on their offer. Sonny made it clear that he did not like ultimatums, but Valentin clarified that he was just the messenger.

Valentin explained that Pikeman would find someone else, but the group fully intended to move their merchandise through Port Charles because it was a shipping hub with access to the Atlantic and Canadian waters. According to Valentin, if Sonny wasn’t interested in working with Pikeman, then Sonny would be reclassified as a liability and obstacle, and Pikeman had a reputation for removing obstacles. Valentin told Sonny that he could either make a boatload of money, or gain a new set of powerful enemies. “Ball is in your court,” Valentin said as he exited Sonny’s office.

After Valentin left, Sonny called Brick. Sonny asked Brick to gather as much information as possible on Pikeman Security Group and to get back to Sonny as quickly as possible.

At Carly’s house, Carly entered the kitchen and said good morning to Josslyn.  Josslyn, who was seated at the island and focused on her open laptop, did not return Carly’s greeting. So, Carly repeated her greeting and made sure to get her daughter’s attention. Josslyn told Carly that she had decided to change her major to pre-med. Carly was taken aback, and was curious what had prompted the sudden change. Josslyn explained that she had hated feeling helpless when Dex had been shot, but Carly assured her daughter that Josslyn had done more than most people would have done under similar circumstances.

Josslyn admitted that she had felt a sense of fear both when Dex was shot and when Ava had been stabbed.  She said she did not wish to have that sense of fear anymore.  She wanted to know what to do in those situations. Josslyn was surprised at Carly’s lack of enthusiasm for her decision, but Carly had concerns because medical school was difficult and time-consuming.

Carly wanted Josslyn to be clear on her motivations.  She wanted to know if Dex had any role in Josslyn’s decision.  She cautioned Josslyn to admit her feelings for Dex with an awareness of the violence that was likely to plague Dex’s life. Josslyn promised that becoming a doctor was separate from Dex. Carly asked about Cameron and Josslyn’s mood saddened.  She said that things with Cameron just weren’t the same anymore and that she simply didn’t know how to end it.  She couldn’t stand the idea of hurting Cameron. Carly told her she understood, but that the longer she waited, the harder it would be to end things with Cameron.

At the Quartermaine gatehouse, Michael and Willow arrived home. Willow was weak and Michael helped guide her to the couch in the center of the room. He offered to make some tea, but Willow declined. She sat as Michael knelt at her feet and slid off her boots. Willow urged Michael to go about his day as usual because Michael and Wiley’s routine gave her a sense of normalcy. Willow lay down to take a nap as Michael draped a blanket on her. He promised to return soon, but he stopped at the door to look at her. “And he says he doesn’t hover,” Willow said. She smiled but her eyes remained closed.

At Dex’s apartment, Dex had a dream about Josslyn and their passionate kiss in her dorm room. He awakened and sat up quickly, but was overcome with pain from the gunshot wound. There was a knock at the door and Dex answered it to reveal Michael with his phone. As Michael entered the apartment, he handed the phone to Dex. Michael asked how the phone had ended up outside the gatehouse, so Dex told Michael about his role in Anna’s escape and the gunshot wound.

Dex explained that he had hoped Michael might get him patched up or at least to his apartment. Michael was not happy when Dex admitted that Josslyn had helped, but Michael realized that it had explained Josslyn’s strange behavior when Michael and Willow had arrived home. Michael was furious that Dex had made Josslyn an accomplice to a crime, and he was further angered when Dex admitted that Carly had gotten involved by getting him antibiotics.

Michael made it clear that he had no desire to dismantle Sonny’s organization at the expense of his mother and sister. Dex promised that this was an isolated incident and that it would never happen again, but Michael still wasn’t satisfied. Michael warned Dex that he would rather call everything off than put Josslyn at risk. “You need to find a way to keep her at arm’s length,” Michael said. Shortly after Michael left, Dex answered a knock at his door to reveal Josslyn standing in the hallway.

At the gatehouse, Willow woke up when she heard someone knocking at the door. She was confused when she saw Nina standing at the door. Nina explained that she had a favor to ask of Willow. Willow informed Nina that Wiley was at school, so Nina’s attempt to accidentally run into him would not work. Nina admitted that she had purposefully stopped by when Wiley was not home. “I was hoping you might want to help out a friend,” Nina said.

Willow poured herself a glass of water as Nina told her about the holiday project at Rice Plaza and Sasha’s role in getting everything done. Nina admitted that she had thought it might help Sasha to have Willow on hand to get the work done, but Willow told Nina that it was not a good day for her. Willow pointed out that Nina had not only taken on the project because Nina had decided it was what Sasha had needed, but Nina had put Sasha in charge of it without consulting Sasha about any of it. Nina was confident that she had made the right decision because Sasha had seemed happy when Nina had left the plaza. Willow was curious why — if Sasha had been doing great — Sasha needed friends to rally around her. “You are spinning your own narrative like you always do,” Willow said.

Willow accused Nina of not having consideration for anyone, and Willow advised Nina to pick a lane and stay in it. Nina grew  defensive. Nina claimed that she had hoped that Willow would be willing to set aside their differences to help a friend. “There goes that narrative again,” Willow said. “Willow Tait, you’re as selfish as they come,” Nina shot back. Nina insisted that Willow had everything, while Sasha had lost Liam and Brando, suffered several nervous breakdowns, and been put under a guardianship. Nina claimed that Willow’s life was perfect because Willow had graduated from nursing school, had plenty of time off from work for naps, and lived on a beautiful estate in a house with a man and son who loved and adored her. Nina also reminded Willow that she was pregnant with another child. As Nina ranted about Willow’s life being perfect, Willow lost it. 

“Shut up!” Willow screamed. Willow repeated it two more times, each time gaining momentum and anger.  Stunned by the screams, Nina stopped speaking. Willow accused Nina of using Sasha as an excuse to scheme her way back into her good graces. Willow insisted that Nina had lost her mind if she thought that she would simply look past all of the lies that Nina had spread about Willow and T.J. Carly approached the gatehouse, but slowed when she heard Willow screaming. Carly got close enough to see what was going on through the window in the door. She paused to see who Willow was speaking to and was shocked when she saw that it was Nina.

When Willow ordered Nina to leave, Carly opened the door and stood in the doorway. Nina threw her hands up in defeat. Carly was ready for an altercation, but before she could say anything, Willow fainted, her head striking the floor.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no. Alex. Alex, come on, man. And all of humanity is destroyed. Thanks to you. Oh my God, you’re such a nerd, dude. Please just tell me which one I should wear.

What would you like for Christmas, young lady? Oh, my present’s already on the. I knew grandbaby. Mm, no greater gift than that. I’m so happy for Eric.

I mean, I know this situation is terribly complicated, but he’s always wanted a child, and when this baby arrives, he will be over the moon.

Hey, Jada, you. I just wanna see how you were doing.

Jada, if you’re listening, I just wanted you to know that I’m here for you if you need anything. Anything at.

Hey.

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

You look lucky. You just shall ghost. Isn’t that where you are now? Don’t be so silly. Could a coach do?

I, I don’t, I don’t know. I don’t know. Um, how is this even possible? Oh, I know, I know, I know. You think that I died in a car crash. I don’t, I don’t think that I, people saw the car explode. You were in it. Hell is Elvis fresh one shit. Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Yeah, that was Mark Twain.

I know. I don’t say, I think it was the King Brady. Yeah. Oh. He tricked the world into thinking that, uh, he met his maker. And you know what to,

oh, thanks. I. I was gonna call you sooner. I am. I’m so sorry about your mother. I appreciate that. Not something tells me that’s not the reason why you’re upset.

No, it’s not. I’ll take a wild guess and say that it’s about Eric.

What makes you say that? Well, I’d say Wild guess is a bit of a mis. And I saw your soon-to-be ex-husband the other night. Oh yeah.

Did he tell you the whole sorted story? Rafe told me that you were leaving him for Eric and that there might already be trouble in Paradise. He didn’t divulge what that trouble might be, but I assume that’s the reason for your upset. If you want to talk about it, you, Jesus. It’s a long story. I heard nothing but time.

Can I join you?

Hey Eric. I think you bartended folded a disappear act. I’m sorry about that. What can I get you? Scott Schmid. Hey, this is on the house. Hey, thanks. You have no idea how much I needed this after the day I’ve. Yeah, I knew what you mean.

Seriously, if you really wanna impress him, when I say go shirtless with a chest like that, anybody, it’d be putty in your hands. Who invited this horn ball? Well, if you must know, I came with my own, of course. Great. Well now you can leave, but I have a proposition for you. Yeah. The answer is no. So please feel free to see yourself out.

Go. Okay, see, this is the exact opposite of go. And here it is now, Alex K. What I’m about to show you is going to blow your mind.

Just fix this sentence there. What do you think? I think this is just about ready for print, but let’s read it again out loud just to make sure. Okay. Governor Elect Price maintains the charges against her daughter are politically motivated. She has no doubt the matter will be resolved well before January when she’ll be sworn in as the next governor of this great.

Sounds good to me. Great. Let’s pack it in. Yeah, just in time for me to meet Alex, you have another date.

Hi Abe. Tell Paulina we’re just about to send out that.

Oh my God. When did this happen?

Okay, I’m on it. Bye. What’s going on? Pauline has been arrested

so. What do you think?

Let me get this straight. Leo. You want me to hire you as my executive assistant? Is that not clear from the presentation? Can your brother not read? Oh, I can read. I just can’t believe you actually have the nerve to ask me to hire you for a job after the way you tormented my baby brother. Someone did not get the memo.

Your baby brother and I are buds now. We’ve put all that behind us, right? Jackson? Hmm. It’s a work in progress, huh? I have plenty of experience. I just left my position as executive director of candidate Affairs for the Governor Elect. I was instrumental in her victory. Think of the wonders I could do for you.

Yeah. I already have an assistant Leo, and even if I didn’t, I would still never hire you. But don’t you need someone to tell you what shirt to wear? I could be that guy. I have impeccable taste, obviously. And I would be available to you whenever at your beck and call 24 7. Yeah. And that way I could play my video games in peace.

It’s a win-win. So, what do you say, boss? Tempting. But it’s a hard no, it’s a regular, no. Now, if you would, excuse me, I have a date to get ready for.

Stop it. Just stop. This is not about you and I not being able to have a baby together.

Come out watching. About you going to Jada.

I broke a trust. I can’t be undone,

can’t go back. Jada’s baby is gone now and I have to find a way to live.

And I’m happy for Eric too, even though. The situation is complicated. Just like you said, you well, having babies makes complicated situations pretty uncomplicated. Hmm. I can’t finish. Oh boy. I’m telling you. Put a lot of work into that list and I can’t wait to see it. So lemme see what we got here. Number one.

Ooh, a dream house for Granny Marmar. Do you know? It’s okay for you just to call me Grandma. Mommy said you liked that name. Mommy’s confused. Let’s see what else we have here. Um, we have a pony, huh? Real? Not stuck. . Duly noted. Real pony. What? We have number three. We, Hmm. What is it? What I want most for Christmas is for.

My mommy and daddy to get married.

This is unbelievable. I wish

one turf cookie. You didn’t think you were gonna get rid of me, so easy. Did you ? Does Marlena know? Oh, well, you know, I haven’t spoken to Dr. Marlena Evans, but Oh, I’ll just, I’ll just call her. Call her. Yeah. What? I’m sure she’s super busy, so there is no need to bother with that. No, it’s not gonna be a bother.

She’s probably gonna come right home as soon as she hears about this. Well, Brady. No. No, Brady. Brady. It’s me.

What the what? What the hell is wrong with you?

I’m shocked and I can’t believe Paulina got charged. I’m shocked too. I figured there wasn’t enough evidence, especially since she wasn’t charged right away. Well, maybe Trashcan and Scotland Yard were just biting their. Building their case or maybe they were waiting for just the right moment to humiliate her.

I can’t even imagine she and Chanel are both going through right now. That’s so unfair. Chanel obviously mean to kill that poor woman. It was, it was an accident, and Holly knew was just trying to shield her young daughter from a scandal like any mother would. What do you wanna do? Well, first on the list, we scrap our statement and start all.

When mommy and daddy get married, I’m gonna be the flower girl at their wedding. Well, you know, sweetheart, uh, weddings aren’t a thing that Santa Claus can deliver. Why not? He’s giving you a grand baby. Oh, fuck. Can’t you listen pretty well? I, I think what Granny Marmar is trying to, I mean, grandma, I think what I think what.

He’s trying to say here is that when, when two people decide to get married, it’s up to them not, not not Santa Claus. Well, it’s gonna happen. How can you be so sure? Mommy told me. Mommy told you that she and your daddy are getting married. She said it was very possible. Well, the thing is that all kinds of things are possible.

I just don’t want you to get disappointed. You know, because not, not all mommies and daddies are married. I know, but my mommy and daddies will be, huh.

Damnit Chris, what are you, what do you do at pretending to be. I just wanted to see if I could still pull it off. And based on your reaction, I passed with flying colors. Yeah, way to go. I mean, you must be really proud of yourself. You dressed up as a dead woman. Is this just for kicks or No? No, of course not.

I just, I needed to practice before I visited dj, I’m sorry, you, I’m sorry. You’re gonna visit EJ as his recently deceased mother. Well, he and I are still on the outs since I sided with Gabby over him, and I thought since I can’t console him as his sister, perhaps I could as his mother,

Kris. Have you completely lost your mind? So Jada had an abortion and Eric blames you. That’s the gist. Why? Because you had one conversation with a woman. He believes that I talked her into it, and that was not my intention. At least I didn’t think it was. I dunno, maybe, maybe deep down is what I really wanted for Eric and Jada not to have the spawn for the rest of their lives.

Look, even if that were true, it’s not as if you drove Jada to the clinic and forced her to get the procedure at gunpoint. In the end, the decision was hers, but he still thinks I shouldn’t have stuck my nose. He has to know you’ve never been one to keep your opinions to yourself. Well, maybe I should have this time.

It’s ironic, you know, I thought things would be better between Eric and me if there were no baby and now there’s no baby and things are worse, much worse. And I don’t think there’s any coming back from it.

Dude, you’re looking at that. Drink the way I usually look at women. Yeah. It’s been a while. Ah, I’m sorry. No, I’m not an alcoholic. I just, I don’t drink anymore. Right. Well if you are just gonna stare at it, I’d be happy to take it off your hands. . All meats. Rosses. Hmm. Listen, I’m glad we got this little chance to talk.

The Bella Magazine cover was a monster hit. I already told Brady I can’t wait to get you and Nicole back on the cover again. So how fast can we get the two of you back in the studio? Cause I don’t think that’s a good idea. Are you kidding me? Bella hasn’t gotten buzz like this in years. Listen, I, I I don’t wanna see you repeat yourself.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I, I want to continue the. I mean the people are itching to see you and Nicole back together. Yet, Alex, you don’t. No. Listen, I know it’s not the right season, but I’m thinking for the next issue we go swim with, people are dying to break the winter blues. Are you comfortable on the speed off?

Well, it really doesn’t really matter what you mean. Wear as long as it’s you and Nicole back in that comfort again. That’s all that matters. People are calling you the perfect couple. You know you got people online calling you Eric Cole. It’s wild. Shut the hell up.

I can’t believe your brother turned me down, poured my heart and soul into that presentation. Yeah. Well, I mean, you gave it a good old call. It’s try. Maybe next time don’t include the photos of you in a bubble bath. I was just trying to show that I have, you know Yes. Well I could see your through the bubbles.

Damnit. I don’t know what I’m gonna do now. I’ve been pounding the pavement for days. It’s my only option is to take that job at Buddy’s Burger Barn. Hey, I mean a job’s job. This head was not meant to wear a paper hat. But you’re right, that might be my only option. Thanks for trying to cheer me up. I’ll see ya.

Leo, Wayne. God. Um, look, I’m, I’m pretty much recovered now, which means I will be going back to being CEO and when I do, I will need an a.

What are you saying, Jackson? Oh my gosh. You’re actually gonna make me say it. Um, okay. How do you feel about working for me at Titan?

Dude, What is your problem? You need to get in your head that I’m a photographer, not a model. Yeah, but there will be no more covers than Nicole me. Do you understand? I understand that you want the one that makes the decisions, and I hope you recognize that. I can just go over your head with this because Nicole and Brady are the ones in charge.

Nicole, be opposed to this just as much as I am. If not, how quick you’re gonna quit. Really? You would really do that. Yeah. If I’m forced. Why, what, what, what is going on? Let something happened in between you two. Did you guys hook up?

Nicole?

It seems to me that emotions are running high right now. I’m sure As soon as Eric calm down, he’ll realize that Jada’s decision is not your fault. You don’t underst. This is no longer just about the baby, which was bad enough. Then what’s it about? Lots of ugly things were said. Things that neither one of us can come back from.

Even if they were said in the heat of the moment. Sometimes you cross a line and there is no going back.

Well, I can relate to that.

I crossed the line and my mother’s dead.

Kristen. Kristen, look at me. Listen to me. Listen to me. You can knock over to E J’s dress as his deceased mother. Number one. He is gonna see right through it. Number two, that’s really cruel. I thought it would be just the. It would be an act of mercy. How do you figure that? Well, Tony said that EJ blames himself for Susan’s death.

I thought I would appear as this vision of his dearly departed mother to use his mind, assure him that her death wasn’t his fault. I didn’t know that. That was your your plan, huh? Can’t believe I’m saying this, but that actually might be helpful to him. I don’t. Surprisingly compassionate of you, given that he just fired you.

Well, he is my brother

even. So, given that you, uh, you used three human lives as bargaining ships to get me back into your life and you blackmailed me into breaking up with Chloe, and we all know that’s the tip of the iceberg of the criminal activity that you’ve been a part of. It’s still very surprising to me that you would be that selfless.

I mean, I admit that I haven’t behaved all that honorably lately, but I’m completely evil. I mean, maybe this is a chance for me to balance the scales. Hell, he’s still little, little.

May you watch Frosty now? Well, you certainly may. Sweet.

Grandma and I, we, we just, uh, want you to know that no matter what happens with your mommy and daddy, they love you very much no matter what, just like we do. You got that? Got it. , enjoyful, frosty honey.

Hi. I’m telling you, doc Kristen is just stooped to a new low, giving this little girl’s hopes all up about something’s never gonna happen. Are you sure about that? What do you mean? Are you sure it’s never going to happen? What are you talking about, doc? You can’t really think that’s on the table. We both know how she manipulates people and events.

I mean, she managed to get Brady to break up with Chloe. She managed to get him to invite her to live at the townhouse. What makes you think she won’t manipulate him into marriage? If that’s the case, then you and I gotta figure out a way to stop her. I agree. How do we do that?

I don’t believe it. You would hire me back. Hey, surely you’re not forgetting that you falsely accused me of sexual harassment along with a bunch of other terrible things that you have done. No, I have not forgotten, but I have. Forgive him because I have a heart As big as all the outdoors that you do, j.

Not to mention a truly adorable smile, not to mention a boatload of other winning and glasses. Let’s not get carried away. Okay? Okay. I will stop the gushing. It’s just that, uh, I’m very touched and very grateful that you would make this offer. But, um, what about the optics? Let’s, I have a PR team. They’ll handle the messaging and like I said before, I couldn’t care less what people think.

Not even your. Not even your Uncle Vic who thinks I am the scum of the earth and hates me with a vengeance. Okay, well when you put it like that, uh, yeah. That old curmudgeon would kill you. Yeah, no. Or he’d fire me, which means we would both be out of Aja. True. Well, thanks for the offer, . It means more than you know, that you would consider me like that, that you would want to help me in that way.

You know, maybe I still can. How? Take your laptop back out. We’ll comb for the Wanted ads. Maybe you missed something. Come on. Fine. Let’s comb. Okay. I am almost done with the intro. Uh, . Cool. I think I’m gonna flip these last two paragraphs. Yeah. Yeah, that’s a great idea.

Aren’t you supposed to be going to dinner with Alex? Uh, yeah, but I, I still have some time. Things must be going well for you too. Yeah, he um, he even surprised me with a romantic Thanksgiving dinner. It was, it was very sweet.

I guess he’s, uh, not all that bad after all. No, he’s not. He, he actually turned out to be a really great guy. Good. I’m happy for you.

I’m right, aren’t I? Something happened between you and the gun of your business. It’s not my business. You two are both my shining stars. Yeah. Well, not anymore. I told you there’s not gonna be any more covers. Yeah, but understand that just, I mean, really do yourself a favor and let it go. Okay. Fine. You got it.

But just so you know, for a former priest, you got some rage issues.

I’m gonna go wait for my date over there.

I, I was so bloody certain that I could get my mother back without having to pay the ransom. I mean, how hard could it be to outsmart Ava Vitali? Right. The problem with playing games with Ava is that she’s out of her mind. Mm-hmm. , I know firsthand it’s impossible to anticipate what Ava would do next. Let me.

You are going to tell me that this isn’t my fault, just like everyone else. Oh, no, no, no, no. But maybe it’s your fault. Just like maybe it’s my fault that Jada got rid of Eric’s baby.

Oh, makes sense. Right. Since both you and I had a history of being our own worst enemies, a tendency. Self destruct, yet we still haven’t managed to learn our lesson.

How the hell did we get so screwed up that my friend? It’s the million dollar question. Oh, yes.

Well, I guess it’s time to take the shell on the road. Kristen. No, no. You listen. You can’t what I thought you understood. Look, it seems that you, it seems your heart is in the right place for a change. Okay? But it’s not a good idea. Like I said before, EJ will probably figure it out. He’ll know it’s you.

It’ll scar him. He’ll probably hate you forever. I think it’s a terrible. Terrible idea to ease his suffering, to do something kind for Susan and him, I mean, Brady, to think of, wow, how I treated that, that woman all these years, I mean, praying on her innocence, her big, generous heart.

And now that she’s gone, I. I am never gonna get a chance to say I’m sorry, and to thank her for all that she’s done for me.

You know what? I’m really gonna miss her.

Okay.

So what’s going on here?

As the investigation moves forward, we encourage everyone to keep an open. Yeah, but still not stretching the right time. Not quite. Okay. Try cutting that line

and that one too

better. It’s getting there. Definitely still needs work. What about your date with Alex?

Hey, Steph. You on your way? I’m really sorry. Hey, we’re crisis suddenly came up. I’m stuck here at the office. Oh, bummer. Can I get a rain check? Of course. Thanks for understanding. I’ll text you later. All right, sounds good. Good luck.

I need to get the hell outta here.

Shall we get another round wellow in our own misery a little bit longer? Ooh. Uh, as much as I would love to, um, I should get going. I need a, a place to stay tonight. What do you mean? Well, since I told Rafe that I was moving on with another man, seemed kind of awkward to be living in the same house, so I’ve been staying in my office.

What about Holly? She’s staying with Maggie until I find a suitable place for us, which I thought would be with Eric. Do you know how that story turned out? Well, you person stay with Maggie too.

in the house with Victor. I think not. Someone would either end up electrocuted or pushed out a second story window, . And since my couch in my office is killing my back, I’m probably just gonna check into the Salem.

You could come home with me.

Uh, Kristen and I were just reminiscing about Susan. . I see. How was dinner with your grandparents at ice cream for dessert? Ooh, in the winter. Wasn’t, wasn’t too cold. Nope. Well, then we’re gonna have to spend a little more time brushing your teeth tonight, right? All right. It’s time for bed. Come on, we gotta go camp John.

Hmm? Can you tell me a bedtime story? You do the best voices. That’s a f. Goodnight, grandma. Goodnight. And I’ll see you and you tuck me in, mommy. Ah, you sure will. My little angel. Okay, let’s go.

I know that, look, you are about to bore me with one of your tedious lectures, aren’t you? No. No lecture. But I do think it’s time that you and I had a talk. And here we go.

Christmas elf. I do look good in tights. Mm-hmm. , but I hate Children. Pass. Okay. Um, . Okay. What about the, uh, the manager of domestic sales at Basic Black? I think that was closed old job. Those bitches turn me down once. I am not crawling back to them. Hard pass. All right. Oh, what about this book Illustrator?

Mm, I don’t know. Kind of seems at a left field. Why? How It’s perfect. You love art Plus, I mean, you’re really good at it. Tho those photos of those paintings you showed me on your phone, they were like, Impressive as hell. Do you remember those? Yeah, of course I do. You’re really talented, Leon, huh? Okay, well in that case, put that one down as a maybe.

Here we go. Maybe M A Y N. I know how to spell me.

We can’t send this out. It’s still not right. And maybe we should just sleep on it. There’s no time. By morning everyone will know about the arrest if we don’t stay ahead of the narrative. Now we’re gonna be behind the curve. I think we need to start over. Oh, okay. No, I can do this. It’s fine by yourself?

Yes. Yes. You should go home. It’s almost time to put the kids to sleep anyway. I got it.

No, no, no. Jack can handle the kids. This is too important. Okay. I really don’t mind. I do. And you do this by yourself. You’re gonna beat her all night. Two of us get done half the time. Are you sure? I. I am not a band ship. You gave up your day with Alex. We’re in this together. Thank you, God.

You keep brushing. Okay? And I’ll look for monsters under your bed.

Hey. I think you’re looking for monsters in the wrong place. All right, dad, look, if this has anything to do with what you saw, come on kid. What? Don’t you just talk to me. What the hell is going on with you and Kristen? There’s nothing going on. Okay. She was upset about Susan. I was just consoling her a little bit.

It’s no big deal. Yeah, and you’re so sure about that, aren’t you, dad? I was just trying to put my anger aside for a moment, you know, just for the sake of peace, just for Rachel’s sake, I’m not gonna fall for her again. So wait, hell, that’s gonna happen. I promise you that.

I understand that you are filling Rachel’s head with ideas of you and Brady getting married. Oh, and what’s wrong with that? What’s wrong with that? Well, it’s manipulative to start. And you’re also setting your daughter up for a lot of disappointment. Well, she won’t be disappointed if Brady and I actually do get married.

Like I know that you’re used to your schemes blowing up in your own face, but now you’re involving somebody else who’s going to get hurt. So please stop. I’ll take that under. Hey Doc, my Priscilla, the pig voice isn’t up to snuff apparently. Would you mind joining us, please? Duty calls Grandma . Well, I guess we’ll have to finish this little chat some other time.

Yeah, your doppelganger was wrong. Sometimes my schemes actually do work. Like tonight, for instance, I wasn’t actually going to visit EJ dressed like Susan. I just, I just needed to get Brady to see me in a different light. And guess what? It works like a charm. Go home with you. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Absolutely not.

Look, I might have had a few, but I am not drunk. I Alright, calm down. I, I wasn’t suggesting anything lascivious. I was merely offering you one of our many guest bedrooms.

Oh, okay. Are you sure? Hmm. What better use for them then to rest the weary head of a fellow? The damaged. And I wouldn’t be any trouble. No trouble at all. Truth be told, I could use the company. Okay. What the hell, right?

you appears to be a lot more blo than you first, or Hold on one second. One second. Let me help you get any help.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

Sonny: Yeah? Yeah, let — let me know what you come up with. Thank you, brick. Dante: I didn’t mean to interrupt. Oh, you’re not interrupting. What’s up? You’re my son. What are you talking about? I just wanted to thank you, again, for thanksgiving. We had a really great time being there, seeing everybody. And, you know, I… I think it must have meant a lot to gladys and sasha that you included them, as well. My commitment is always to my family. No matter what michael thinks. Yeah, that’s the real reason I’m here. We both know michael was right about you.

[ Knock on door ] Michael, hey. Hey. Thanks for coming. Yeah, your text sounded urgent. But why did you want me to meet you at my mom’s house? Because this conversation has got to be completely confidential. And there’s too many potential eavesdroppers at — at — at the quartermaines’ and probably at aurora, too. What’s going on? Look, we’ve gotta be prepared, okay? Because carly and I could both be facing criminal charges. Well, it’s almost healed. That’s what I told you. I’m fine. Nothing to worry about. God, that sounds so familiar. Oh, right, that’s what you kept saying when you were bleeding and fighting a 104 fever inside of my dorm room. So excuse me for checking it out myself. Oh, so you just came to provide medical attention? What else would I come here for? Thought maybe you wanted to see me.

[ Sam grunts ] Oh! [ Laughs ] Thank you. My pleasure. Ooh! Your timing is impeccable. So is your reach. I really appreciate you coming out to help. Yeah, dante texted me and said that you were supervising the community decorations. It was nina’s idea. She knew that I might be at loose ends as the holiday approached. Oh. Well, good for nina. And good for you, too. Nina really deserves all the credit. Not only is she a terrific person, but she is incredibly thoughtful and generous, too. Sasha was just the latest excuse for you to try to get closer to me to scheme your way back into wiley’s orbit! Which, after the lies you spread, is just ludicrous! No, I didn’t spread any lies. Oh, really? So you didn’t tell michael that tj and i were having an affair when nothing could be further from the truth? I made that one mistake. Can you just calm down? And I apologized! And if you remember correctly, you told me to drop dead. That’s because nothing else gets through to you. You don’t listen! You don’t stop! You just keep pushing and pushing! Go away, nina, and leave my family the hell alone! Oh, my god. Willow! I’ll call 911! Wait! No! Help me with willow first. Willow! Hey. Hey, willow?

I need to know what happened to that necklace. Yeah, if it burned up in the cabin, then you’re just gonna have to sift through the ashes. I must have those diamonds. They’re pivotal to my next step. Right. This was a bad idea. My son doesn’t want to see me. No, spencer doesn’t know how he feels. Look, you’re his father. He misses you, even if he is angry at you. I wish to return to my cell. Come now, spencer, is that any way to treat family? No matter how many times we might disagree, cassadines always come together in the end. Nikolas: I’m glad to see you, spencer. Even if you don’t feel the same. I cannot believe I’m hearing this. You and I both know michael’s anger is — is out of control. I keep trying and trying to reconcile, and michael doesn’t bend. Okay, look, I’m not condoning the way michael’s treated you. I don’t like the way he’s treated you. But he was telling the truth when he said that you abducted dex heller and had him beaten. I saw some of his injuries. And the only reason I didn’t arrest you is because he lied and covered for you. Yeah, I remember that came up after brando’s funeral. But that was months ago. Why — why are you bringing it up now? Because I looked the other way! You committed a felony. And now you’re doing it again. All right, you’re all set. You can put a shirt on now. Didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. I’m not uncomfortable. That’s true. You’ve seen me in less. Yeah. You’ve slept in my bed.

[ Chuckles ] It’s too bad all I did was sleep.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, wow. You really went there. I can’t help it. I mean, of all the rotten luck to be lying in your bed too feverish to do anything but sleep. Oh, well. There’s always next time. You must be on decoration overload. You’re out here getting rice plaza ready for christmas, and then you also have your own house to decorate. Oh, I do. But, you know, I do have three elves to help with that, I hope. Anyway, scout’s always down to help, but danny and rocco, I don’t know if they’re gonna think that they’re too old for decorations. Well, too bad for them if they are. At least scout is still on board. Christmas is magic at any age, but especially for the little ones. I used to… um… what about adding some ribbon to this? Like here? Sasha, you — you don’t have to edit yourself with me. Whatever it is that you were gonna say, whatever you’re feeling, you can say it to me. I spoke to my legal team, and they think there might be a case against me and carly for insider trading. Even though carly didn’t make any money on the deal, even though the merger between elq and aurora didn’t even happen. You — you really think that ned would go to the sec? I don’t want to think that he would go that far, but I can’t really afford to think otherwise. We shared pizza together at thanksgiving, right? I can’t assume that that peace offering is just gonna make him forgive and forget. Yeah, and the quartermaines are famous for holding a grudge. Exactly. Which is why I gotta back way off. Despite my major stock position, I gotta back off. I can’t afford to provoke ned any more than I already have. Yeah, given his anger at us for feeling like we abandoned him, I don’t blame you. So, in addition to leo’s very sweet desire for family peace, I think it’s in our best interest, both me and carly, just to — to mend fences with ned. And I will, too. Thank you. So — so w-what — what can you and my mom do to, uh, you know, protect yourselves? What else can you do? Well, we could stop seeing each other. I have a cold towel. Willow, willow, honey, it’s carly. Willow, come on. Come on. Open your eyes. Willow, willow, hey. Carly. Yeah, hi. Take it easy. Wait, what? You just fainted. Hey, look at me. Yeah, yeah, you’re gonna be okay. You know what? I’m gonna call 911. No!

Nikolas is your father, spencer, and you are going to need his support when you’re released from this place. Not if you fulfill your end of our bargain! What bargain? You didn’t tell him?

[ Sighs ] I didn’t see any reason to. What are the two of you talking about? If I agreed to keep my mouth shut about you sleeping with esme, uncle victor promised me that I would receive my birthright ahead of schedule. So, you see, father, I don’t need you anymore. You’re obsolete. Uncle victor made sure of it.

[ Scoffs ] I-I can’t — I can’t say that I blame you. I haven’t been a good father. God knows I don’t deserve your forgiveness in spite of your mistakes. You are a better man than I am. I envy how you give your whole heart. And I hate that I broke it. I’m used to it. And I hate that, too. You have no reason to trust me, but if you let me in your life, I give you my word, I will never hurt you again. I would settle for not having to listen to another one of these disingenuous speeches. I told you this was a bad idea.

[ Clears throat ] Sit down! I am so disappointed in you. It is mutual! You and my father have both disregarded my wishes. And I would do it again. Even though you squandered the time I bought so you could reunite with your father. No. You may be all powerful on the outside, uncle victor, but you have competition in here. I didn’t know that you and my mom were, um, seeing each other. I mean, although things looked pretty cozy between you two at the quartermaine picnic, and, well, you did go down to florida to help my mom with her adoptive mother’s grave, which was above and beyond. To be honest, I’ve had a thing for carly for a while now. Well, still, since you’ve been back from jacksonville, I don’t know, I guess i got more of a friendship vibe. The — the point is, is that if carly and i are openly gonna be a couple then that relationship, it could strengthen the sec’s case that I gave her some sort of privileged business information. So we just gotta be casual. We gotta be casual in public and probably in private, too. How uncomfortable is this conversation making you right now? Oh, you and my mom? Hey, I mean, you know, you two are adults. And, uh, hey, I-I gotta admit, too, since my mom’s been back from florida, this is the happiest I’ve seen her in a long time. She makes me happy, too. Unfortunately… this relationship, it — it may be short-lived. I mean, you really have to go that far?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I — I thought that we could meet in — in private, right? But is that really fair? I mean, we can’t meet at the quartermaines’ because I live there, and there’s always someone popping in in unexpected moments in that house. Like when olivia walked in on chase in brook lynn’s bedroom, for example. Oh, you heard about that? Yeah, well, brook lynn filled me in. That was a moment. And if we meet here, this is carly’s house. Then we gotta, like, time our visits when donna and joss aren’t here. And it just seems… it seems dishonest. Maybe I just got to accept the fact that the timing isn’t right for us to be together right now. Well, what if this is the only time you get? Willow: I’m fine. Please do not call for an ambulance. Okay. Do you still feel dizzy? You’re not warm, but I’m gonna check your temperature. I’m not dizzy, and I’m — I’m not running a fever. Maybe you don’t need an ambulance, willow, but at least let us take you to the hospital. Okay? We can notify your ob? What part of “I’m fine” don’t you understand? I do not need to go to G.H. I’m not in pain. I just need to rest. Drink this. I do know that you need to stay hydrated, okay? Can we chat outside? I thought things were good between us. They are. Well? I mean, m-maybe they’re too good. I mean, we spend holidays together. W-w-we’re neighbors. Uh-huh. It seems like t-the further apart you and michael get, the closer you and I get. What’s wrong with that? Becau– what’s wrong with it? There’s been this boundary that I’ve always had to keep between my love for you as a son and my duty as a cop. And that line is starting to blur, okay? How so?

[ Scoffs ] If this was anyone else, anyone else, I would pursue the case into dex’s abduction. I’d get more evidence, I-I’d talk to witnesses, I-I’d build a case, I’d take it back to dex. I’d try and get him to cooperate. And instead, I called michael a liar. You know, I did that for your benefit, you know? I wanted you to know that I knew what you had done. But now I gotta tell you to your face. I know that you are behind what happened to dex. I never asked you to cover for me, and I never would. Okay, that’s good. Maybe then you can tell me about anna’s escape. All right, so take it easy and limit all activity for at least one more week. No offense, but how do you know? Did you consult a medical professional about me? I’ve been doing some research online. Oh, where? Bulletwounds.Com? G.H.’S website. Smart. Yeah, well, I went through all this trouble taking care of you, so it wouldn’t make sense to bail before you’re fully healed. That’s exactly what you need to do. Bail.

R our chess game.Chess? I’m improving my game in here. I’m glad to see you’re not without friends. Oh! We’re not just friends. We’re family. Yes, well, I’m spencer’s

actual family. Oh, I know who you are. Oh? All right. And you are? Cyrus renault. I’m — I’m sure you’ve heard of me. Ah! So you’re the famous cyrus renault.

[ Laughs ] Well, uh, same name, different man. The bible says, “the memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot.” Ah. Less than an hour before I found out that anna’s van had crashed and she had escaped, I heard you on the phone asking someone how it went with anna. I told you I provided her help when she reached pentonville. The guy who was supposed to be driving the van ended up in a parking lot, tied up with a bag over his head. He was unharmed. Well, I’m happy to hear that. I’m sure you are, because whoever conducted anna’s escape clearly didn’t want to hurt anyone else. All they wanted was for anna to get out of there. What happened to anna? Where is she? Who else has a whole bunchof safe houses in the area? Do you see? You see what I’m talking about here? It all adds up. You broke anna out of police custody, and I’m not doing a damn thing about it! I don’t want to be, you know, too involved in my mom’s personal life, but I know from my own experience that you, uh — you have less time than you think. I’m sure you’d like to believe that you have… years and decades to spend with the person that you love to do what you dreamed of. And hopefully we get that time. If we do, but, you know, it’s not — it’s not guaranteed. Is this about the tension between you and your father? Are you worried that sonny’s gonna retaliate? Sorry if my medical skills don’t meet your high standards. You know better, okay? If you had taken me to the hospital instead of to your dorm room, okay, the er doctor would have had to report the bullet wound, and I would be behind bars. I owe you. You’re welcome. You asked me before how I got shot. Yeah, and you didn’t tell me. You don’t need to know the details to know it involves something illegal. You work for sonny. Of course you’re involved in something illegal. None of this is fine, dex. Yes, I want — I want to dismantle sonny’s life but not at the cost to my mom and sister. Look, their involvement was a one-time thing. Yeah, maybe for my mom. But you and I both know that josslyn is an issue. Look, I need you to hear me when I tell you. I’d rather blow this whole operation up than put my sister at risk. You need to find a way to keep her at arm’s length. Do you understand? I understand. Look, that’s why I need you to leave now and never come back. It’s not easy for me to acknowledge my feelings. It’s something I’m working on in therapy — taking time to process my emotions instead of letting them bottle up until they overwhelm me in a very public and messy explosion. You know, it can be really scary admitting to yourself how you really feel. Revisiting dreams that you had for someone who’s gone that you know isn’t gonna come true. I-I feel like I’ve learned that the more time passes, the more I’ve been able to, I guess, accept those dreams. And even smile a little.

[ Chuckles ] Who do you dream about? Oh, um, my first child. Daughter. You know, she was stillborn. I had no idea. I’m so sorry. It’s okay. I-I think about her all the time.

[ Chuckles ] Liam would have been about a year now. He was born near christmas. So he would have been too young to understand who santa was. But I think brando and i would have still taken him to see santa. It never happened, but… the thought of it still makes me smile. You know, carly, I don’t need another lecture from you. I didn’t come here to pick a fight with willow. I didn’t come here to orchestrate a run-in with wiley. I just came here to reach out to willow on sasha’s behalf. I believe you. I’m sorry, baby. I should have been more careful. I honestly did not mean to get so upset.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m afraid we’re in for a bumpy ride, but we’re going to make it. I’m your mommy, and I’m going to bring you safely into this world. I promise.

I may not have a father that I can count on, but I am grateful that I have uncles who look out for me, the two of you, and uncle sonny and uncle martin. Oh, you know my brother martin, victor. Yeah. He’s my son’s attorney. Uh [Chuckles] We both know martin is much more than that. Well, I don’t want to interrupt your game, spencer, but please do reconsider mending fences with your father. Victor cassadine, mediator? Uncle victor wants peace for our family. Oh. I-I-is that why you tried to kill mine? You caused my brother great harm. The implication that I had anything to do with lucy coe’s disappearance is unfounded and, frankly, insulting. I’m not talking about ms. Coe. I’m referring to the attempt on my brother martin’s life and that of our sister, laura. Look, nina, we’re not friends, okay? But I don’t think you came here with the intention of upsetting willow so much that she fainted. But you have to stay away. You have to stay away and accept the fact that seeing you upsets willow so much. And we both know that’s not good for the baby. I would never hurt that baby. And I believe you. I really do. All right, I’ll go. If you could just tell… you know what? Don’t tell her anything.

[ Exhales deeply ] Nina’s gone. Thank you. But she’s not wrong, okay? You need to see your doctor, so please let me take you to G.H. Sonny: I don’t need your protection. You can investigate and act on whatever you want. I will do that. I just hope you covered your tracks this time.

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause next time, and there will be a next time, and probably a time after that, you might not have an employee who lies to take a beating. You might slip up and thenI’m gonna have to do something that I don’t want to do. So you feel the same way that michael does, that I should lose my family? I should, you know, take everything — everything that I love away from me? Would you stop? I’m not michael! I’m not michael. I’m not out to get you. I love you, dad. But I took an oath to uphold the law, and I’m gonna keep that oath. I don’t expect anything less. And if it gets worse and you’re forced to arrest me one day, I’m always gonna love you. I’m not gonna love you any less. You understand me? Well, I wouldn’t blame you if you did. It’s not gonna happen. Ever. Hey, I can cover if you want to take a break. Thanks. No, I’m — I’m having fun. It feels good to do something useful and positive. Yes. Not that putting up christmas decorations will change the world. No. Maybe not. But, you know, people do seem to take extra care of each other this time of year. And you get a lot of smiles with all the decorations and the trees lit up. I know. I’m — I’m grateful to be part of it. Even if it’s in a small way. It turns out that what people have been telling me is true. Helping others is a great way to help yourself. I don’t believe I’m in, um, physical danger from my father. The — the emotional damage has already been done. It’s the, uh [Exhales deeply] This whole rift with my father, it’s — it’s made me value my family even more. You know, I [Sighs] I spent the first year and a half of wiley’s life believing that he was dead. And now I have him. And now I have — I have — I have willow and a baby on the way. Every day is precious to me. I just want to, you know, freeze time and — and live in this place of joy with…

[ Sighs ] Willow and the kids. If only we could. Yeah, life has a way of messing up your plans. But when that happens, all I can really do is just do — deal with it the best that I can. Can’t argue with that. But what I won’t do is — is waste any more time, you know, or — or overlook the little things, you know, like… the look of wonder on willow’s face when she, uh, feels the baby kick or how wiley insists that I read willow’s baby bump a bedtime story.

[ Chuckles ] Which, of course, you do. Those things, they, um — they only come around once. You don’t get do-overs. So if you and my mom feel like you have to hide, then — then hide, but just… don’t pass on the chance at something really good. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go home to willow. All right.

The attack on my grandmother and uncle martin at the safe house last year? Uncle victor had nothing to do with that. My sources don’t lie, nor do my instincts.

[ Scoffs ] Says the man who held trina robinson and her mother at gunpoint and tried to kill spencer’s friend britt westbourne? Or does the attack on dr. Westbourne not count because you only sent your minions to do your dirty work? I don’t hear you denying what you did to laura and martin. I don’t answer to you. You will if you ever go near my family again! And that includes spencer. You do not want me as an enemy! Or I’ll go on your hit list, too? Don’t let this man manipulate you, spencer. I don’t get manipulated. And I won’t ever again. Now, if there’s nothing else that you have to say — as I said, I don’t want to interrupt your game. But remember, spencer, your pawns need to be guarded. And you won’t always have a knight to ride to your rescue. Could it be more obvious? “Instantly there dropped from his eyes what seemed to be scales, and he could see once more.” I-I-I’m sorry you had to learn about victor this way. I’m not really in the mood to play chess. I think I’m just gonna go back to my cell. Thanks for hooking me up to the portable fetal monitor and taking a look yourself. Yeah, okay, the baby’s heartbeat looks fine, and your blood pressure is good.

[ Sighs ] But I’m no ob, all right? I’m not gonna insist you go to G.H., But you have to promise me you’re gonna go to your doctor in the next couple days. What happened? I-it’s nothing.

[ Door closes ] Okay, why do you need see the doctor then? Because willow fainted. You fainted?

[ Scoffs ] Why? What’s — what’s — what’s wrong? I’m fine. Once again, I forgot to eat. Willow didn’t want to call an ambulance, but I think she needs to see her ob. Yeah, I’ll make sure of it. All right. You need to rest, and willow needs some tlc. I’ll make sure of that, too. Thank you, carly. Yeah. Take care of yourself, please. Michael, I love you. Love you, too. Who are you calling? Dr. Randolph. She needs to know that you fainted. Nina! Hello. Hi. So, what do you think of our progress so far? It’s great. It’s really great. Everyone’s doing a fantastic job. Nina, you don’t have to pretend with me. Did something happen? It’s just, sometimes I’m afraid that I really am as awful as willow thinks I am. You better pace yourself there, pretty. We have a penthouse to decorate.

[ Chuckles ] Hi. Hey. I was just telling sasha that scout will definitely want to help decorate. But what about the boys? Do you think they’re gonna… the boys. …Feel like they’re above it all? I don’t know. You know rocco, he seems like he’s kinda going through something right now. But danny will — will step up for scout’s sake. But you know what? The minute ornaments and candy canes come out, they — they’ll get into it. Yeah. You know? Our boys aren’t as old as they think they are. Thank god. Thank god? Where’d that come from? Just…my father. I love him, but, uh… I don’t know, our relationship has always just been a bit of a minefield. And I’m hoping that me and rocco don’t turn into that when he’s an adult. Look, you’re out of bandages and you need more antibiotic ointment, so I’m gonna go get you some more. Don’t bother, okay? I can order that stuff online. I don’t need you to come back. Skip it, dex. It’s not gonna work. Why not? The big speech? You try to warn me about how dangerous you are, and you try to push me away for my own good? I know that you’re dangerous. Hello? You were beating up some guy under sonny’s orders the night we met. Look. You can do so much better than him. You’re resourceful. You keep your head in a crisis. You’re loyal. You don’t complain even when you’re hurt. Dex heller. Hero. Stop it, dex. I found you bleeding. I nursed you through a fever. I sat up with you all night to make sure that you were still breathing. So I’m not gonna walk out of here and pretend that what we went through together doesn’t mean something.

Most of the tension between you and sonny is because you’re a cop, and sonny is…you know… mm-hmm. …Sonny. Yeah. As long as rocco doesn’t want to grow up to be like his grandfather, I don’t think you have anything to worry about. Yeah, but, you know, fathers and sons, they — they butt heads about stuff. Hey. You see my face? Yeah, it’s a beautiful face. Does it look worried to you? No. It’s because I see you and rocco interact every day. Mm-hmm. You know what I see? No. Love, falconeri! Not only your love for rocco, but rocco’s love for you. And you know what that tells me? That our love is so strong it’ll survive any… stop! Don’t make fun of me. …Disagreement we ever have? You’re so smart. I just get it through osmosis from living with you. Thank you. For what? I don’t know, making me look forward to christmas… for our blended family, for the traditions we’re gonna make. I already got my christmas present. Oh. Me, too. Mm. It’s too bad I don’t have a flask of brandy to go with this hot chocolate. That bad? It’s my fault that willow fainted. I never should have gone over to her place. You know, for a smart woman, I do a lot of stupid things. If something happens to willow and that baby, I will never forgive myself. You made a mistake.

[ Sighs ] Welcome to the club. The important thing here is to take a breath, figure out how it happened, and how to avoid it happening again. Well, I know the answer to that. And ironically, I got it from carly. Well, carly is a smart lady. Yeah. Even though it galls me to admit this, carly did make me see that the only thing that I can do for willow… is stay away from her. Thanks for the soup. I feel much better. Michael, staring at your phone isn’t going to make terry call you back any faster. You know, maybe we should just go to G.H. Look, if the chemo is causing you to faint — not the chemo. Nina. Or rather, my response to her. Wait, nina was here? She volunteered sasha to oversee the decorations in rice plaza and then showed up here to ask me to help. And when I tried to decline, nina called me selfish. Nina called you selfish? Things went downhill from there. I snapped, started screaming at nina, next thing I know, lights out. All right, I’m gonna make sure nina never comes back here again, okay? I don’t think that will be a problem. I’m pretty sure my fainting scared nina even more than it did me. You know, honestly, though, I-I — I doubt that nina actually would have got into an argument with you if she knew that you just had chemo. Look, we need to find you a bone marrow donor, and we need people like nina to start treating you with consideration. Michael. Willow, look, we need to tell people that you have leukemia. Drew! Wow. Um… not that I’m complaining at all, but, um, what is going on? Wh–

[ Inhales sharply ] I have it on very good advice that we should take full advantage of the time that we have together, while we’re lucky enough to have it. Well, I’m not gonna argue with that, but I thought you had — we had to stay away from each other. Yeah, well, I can’t stay away from you. And we’re lucky enough to have this big house on acres of grounds with secluded little nooks and crannies. Well, since we’re so lucky…

[ Cellphone chimes ] You have to answer that. No, I don’T. Yeah. Mnh-mnh. You have to answer it. I don’t have — get it. Get it. Get it. Get it. It’s okay. Good news. We got a lead on willow’s birth parents. I won’t hang around where I’m not wanted, but I’m not gonna deny what’s standing right in front of me. And neither can you. Joss. It’s like this wall went up between us. And you remembered that you have to protect little old me from big, bad you. I call B.S. On that. I make my own decisions. I know the risks I’m taking. If you don’t want me, just say that. I’m trying to do the right thing here. Try being honest instead. You want honest?

[ Knock on door ] Sonny: It’s sonny. Open up.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: So, uh, how was chelsea?

Lily: Um, good. I mean, the conversation went well. She just wanted to thank me for being understanding while you were helping her through this difficult time.

Billy: Okay. That’s it? I mean, you were up there for a while. That’s all.

Lily: Yeah. She just said that, you know, you helped her, and she’s getting stronger every day. She just wanted to be transparent with me so that I wouldn’t misinterpret anything, which I told her I appreciate.

Billy: Yeah, I appreciate that, as well. Why don’t you grab a table? I’m just going to give her a quick call. Okay? I’ll be one minute.

Lily: What, you’re going to check on chelsea again?

Billy: Yeah. I just want to make sure she’s okay.

Lily: Maybe she wants some space.

Billy: Or maybe something’s wrong.

Chelsea: I worry that I’ve been too much of a burden on you and billy.

Lily: Like I said, billy and I, we care about you, and we really care about your recovery. And just so you know, I don’t think that you should give all the credit to billy for saving you. I mean, you worked really hard to be here, and you continue to work hard to get better. Billy told me that it’s important to have a network of people to lean on, which you have. You know, you have sharon and adam and chloe, your therapist. And that’s great, you know, because billy is wonderful. But I think it’s better to have a group of people to support you, you know? Because billy can’t really be there for you 24/7.

Sharon: I know that you’re genuinely concerned about chelsea’s well-being. And, of course, you want to be a part of the process of her recovery.

Adam: Is there anything wrong with that, sharon?

Sharon: No, not at all. But I can sense how your mind is working. And I’m afraid that you’re trying to turn this into a competition between you and billy. And trust me. That’s the last thing that chelsea needs right now.

Adam: What — what are you suggesting? That I just step back, and I stay out of it so billy can continue to play the hero?

Ashley: I was hoping for some good news. Are we any closer to getting diane out of town?

Nikki: I’m afraid I have some disappointing news about talia morgan.

Ashley: What happened?

Nikki: Phyllis and I wanted to bring her up-to-date about the connection between diane and jeremy stark. I mean, we thought she would want to know that diane had been laundering money for him. The guy went to prison for it, and for six years she was being chauffeured around los angeles in a bentley, living the high life.

Ashley: You’d think that she’d be excited to write such a juicy story, right?

Nikki: So did we. We thought that she could even lead her readers into thinking that diane may have turned stark in to the federal authorities. I mean, wouldn’t that just scare the life out of her? Hopefully enough to put her underground to hide out. But you know what? When talia heard that we didn’t have real proof…

Ashley: Oh, don’t tell me.

Nikki: Yeah. She doesn’t want to have anything more to do with what she now sees as a smear campaign.

Ashley: That’s very disappointing, especially since everything you told her about the connection between stark and diane is the truth.

Nikki: It’s just so frustrating. We finally have the information to take her down with, and we can’t get it publicized.

Ashley: I think I have worse news.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ] How could it be worse than losing our very own voice in the national media?

Ashley: How about losing who should be our biggest ally? Jack.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Diane, you got a minute? There’s something you need to know.

Diane: I hope it’s not bad news.

Jack: Well, it depends on how you look at it. I laid down the law with ashley. I made it very clear to her she would be making an enemy of me if she continues her reckless attacks on you.

Diane: I can’t tell you how grateful I am for your support, but the last thing I want is to be a source of tension between the two of you.

Jack: I had to say something to get through to her.

Diane: I am… I am just so touched that you’d stand up for me that way. I hope you know it means everything to me.

Kyle: Am I interrupting something? I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ashley: So, I walk in, and right here stands diane, all teary-eyed, embracing jack like he’s her knight in shining armor. I’m telling you right now, I wanted to throw up.

Nikki: How can he keep falling for that?

Ashley: I don’t know! I asked him why he’s so irrational where diane’s concerned. What he told me was shocking.

Nikki: What? What did he say?

Ashley: He said if I go to war with diane, I go to war with him.

Nikki: Really?

Ashley: Yes. And he meant it. Absolutely, 100% — he was vehement.

Nikki: Well… I can certainly understand if this changes things for you. Are you going to walk away on our plan now?

Ashley: Not a chance in hell.

Sharon: You see, this is exactly what I’m talking about. You’re turning this into something adversarial for no good reason. Billy is not playing the hero. He happened to be there when chelsea was at her lowest point. And you should be grateful that he was there and stepped up for her.

Adam: Sure. I am grateful. I told him that — more than once, actually.

Sharon: Okay, well, chelsea has come to rely on billy, and I’m glad that she has the extra support.

Adam: Chelsea and I, we share a child, okay? My focus isn’t just on chelsea’s well-being here. I’m trying to help connor navigate an incredibly difficult situation. And we should be working on this together, as parents.

Sharon: I couldn’t agree more. Listen to what I’m saying here, okay? I’m not taking sides between you and billy.

Adam: It sure feels that way.

Sharon: Under the circumstances, the only person’s side I’m on right now is chelsea’S. So, please don’t make this about you and your feelings and your history with billy, because that’ll just make things more complicated for chelsea at a fragile time. I know she’s gotten better, but she’s still trying to find her footing. She has a long way to go, and, honestly, you tend to blur the line sometimes.

Adam: And billy doesn’t?

Lily: Okay, well, I guess I’ll get us a table, then.

Billy: I’ll just be one minute.

Daniel: So, it’s looking more and more likely like I’ll be sticking around town.

Phyllis: Yes! Yes. That’s the greatest news I’ve heard all day.

Lily: Hello.

Daniel: Lily.

Phyllis: Hey, you want to join us?

Summer: It’s good to see you. Is billy with you?

Lily: Uh, yeah. He just — he’s — he’ll be right in. He had to take care of something.

Billy: Come on, chelsea. Pick up.

[ Door opens ]

Chelsea: Hey. What’s wrong?

Connor: Nothing. I’m fine.

Chelsea: Connor, stop, please. Come here. I can see something’s troubling you. I’d like you to tell me what it is.

Connor: It doesn’t matter.

Chelsea: Hey, we said no more secrets. You can tell me anything.

Connor: I got into a fight at school.

Chelsea: What? Why would you do that?

Connor: I had to, mom.

Chelsea: Connor, we have discussed this. Violence does not solve anything.

Connor: But I couldn’t let anyone get away with calling you crazy. Hi, I’m jason and I’ve lost 202 pounds on golo.

Diane: Your father and i were discussing a disturbing situation.

Kyle: What happened now?

Diane: Phyllis, nikki, and ashley have upped their attacks against me.

Jack: The situation has become untenable.

Kyle: Up their attacks? How?

Diane: Kyle, there’s something you need to know because you don’t have the complete picture. Uh, jack, could we borrow your office for a few minutes?

Jack: Feel free. Go ahead.

Kyle: Okay, mom. What’s this about?

Diane: Tucker and me. There’s something you don’t know about the deal he offered me in exchange for information about allie.

Kyle: You said he wanted you to monitor ashley’s personal life, her comings and goings, and report back to him, right?

Diane: Yes, but that’s only part of it. It’s entirely possible that tucker is sincerely trying to rekindle his relationship with ashley, but I can’t say that for sure. What I do know for certain is that he has another goal, to take over jabot.

Kyle: Well, I can’t say I’m all that surprised, but what does that have to do with the other part of your deal?

Diane: Tucker wanted me to access jabot’s financial information and give it to him.

Kyle: What?

Diane: But, kyle, I swear I didn’t do it, and I never intended to do it.

Phyllis: So, lily, how’s my hotel? How’s it doing? Is it lucrative for you?

Lily: Well, it’s too early to tell, but we have big plans.

Phyllis: Oh, good, good. Well, will these plans be affected by all the changes at chancellor-winters?

Lily: Uh [Laughs] What are you referring to?

Phyllis: Well, I know that nate jumped ship, and he took sally spectra’s job at newman media.

Summer: Can’t say I was even a little bit upset to hear about her getting fired.

Phyllis: Uh-huh. There’s a little justice in the world.

Daniel: I’m thinking you two are going to have to fill me in on who this sally person is.

Phyllis: No, we don’t need to. Trust me.

Summer: Mnh-mnh.

Phyllis: The only reason she got the job at newman media is because she was sleeping with adam.

Daniel: So, you’re telling me to steer clear?

Phyllis: Yeah, very clear. We don’t need to talk about her, though. Ugh! Hey, I also heard something else, that billy might be leaving chancellor-winters.

Lily: Wow.

[ Laughs ] Where are you getting all this information from?

Phyllis: I heard it from ashley, who heard it from tucker mccall.

Lily: Right. Okay. Well, yes, we have a lot of changes happening, but we are stronger than ever.

Phyllis: That’s great. That’s a good P.R. Answer. Good for you.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Hey, chelsea, it’s me. Just checking in, making sure you’re doing okay. I know I’m being a pest, but hopefully you’re used to it by now. Alright. Call me back when you get a chance, okay? Thanks.

Sharon: I really don’t see how billy is blurring any lines. He and chelsea have been friends for a long time.

Adam: Yeah, but he’s also johnny’s father, sharon. And her issues didn’t start until she became determined to tell johnny that she was his biological mother.

Sharon: Well, that may be a symptom of her problems, not necessarily the root cause.

Adam: Okay, I don’t know what difference it makes. I just know that johnny is still a very painful topic for her.

Sharon: Well, I don’t know. They had a really friendly chat on thanksgiving.

Adam: That’s great. I’m sure that just made things even murkier. And I’m sure chelsea credited billy for that.

Sharon: I don’t know if that’s true. She knows that billy left it up to johnny to decide whether he wanted to have contact with her.

Adam: Well, he seems to be taking a hands-off approach when it comes to his kid. Really wish he would do that with chelsea instead of convincing her that she should be dependent on him.

Sharon: You almost sound jealous.

Adam: No, I’m not at all. Okay? And don’t act like I’m the only one who has a problem with this dynamic. I know chelsea just talked to lily because I assume that billy’s girlfriend is just as concerned as I am about the situation.

Sharon: All I know is that conversation was chelsea’s idea.

Adam: Okay, well, in that case, I’m not going to be delayed any longer. I’m going to go talk to her, and I’m gonna see what’s going on, sharon.

Chelsea: Alright. Tell me what happened. How did this other kid know about me?

Connor: Johnny and I were talking about all the stuff that’s been going on. It was private, away from everyone else. This guy somehow overheard us. He’s a jerk, a bully. And he jumped in and started saying all this mean stuff about you. I had to make him stop.

Chelsea: Well, I’m sure that was very upsetting to hear. These things have a way of just getting out, and people handle things differently. You know, some people are kind and understanding. Some others…

Connor: Are just mean.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’m not going to justify what this little boy said because, who knows, maybe he’s got problems at home. Maybe he’s just a jerk. One thing I do know for certain. He was just trying to make you feel bad. He was just trying to force you, push you to defend your mom. But you never have to do that, not for one second.

Connor: So, you want me to let them say terrible things about you?

Chelsea: Connor, there’s something I need you to understand. I’m not ashamed about what I’m going through. I can’t be because being ashamed is what stopped me from getting help sooner. And that made things a lot worse for me.

Connor: But you’re better now, right?

Chelsea: I am. But I still have an illness. And I’m getting treatment. But it’s a process. I’m sorry. I’m sorry you have to go through this. No one wants to feel weird or different at school, but i will promise you one thing. Every kid, every family, they all have their stuff.

Connor: All of them?

Chelsea: Yes! Oh, yes. Everyone’s carrying some kind of stress or some kind of embarrassment. And that’s what the bullies, they zero in on that. You know, they look for those vulnerable spots to make you feel bad, to goad you into fighting. But we don’t need to fall for it.

Connor: But what if it does hurt? What am I supposed to do then?

Chelsea: If you’re feeling sad or feeling angry, come talk to me. Or you can talk to your dad, or you can talk to your counselor at school. You understand?

Connor: Yeah, I guess so.

Chelsea: Connor, I need you to know I love you so much, and I am getting better. And I love that you want to protect me. But it’s not your job.

[ Knock on door ]

Adam: Chelsea, it’s me.

Chelsea: No more secrets, okay?

Adam: Hi, connor. I didn’t realize school was out already. Um, what happened?

Chelsea: We need to have a talk…as a family. I brought in ensure max protein

Diane: I only pretended to accept tucker’s terms. My plan was to set a trap for him and then stop him in his tracks and reveal what he was really up to. But then I quickly realized that I was in over my head. And I have since told your father the truth about all of this.

Jack: Once she told me what tucker was trying to do, I confronted him personally. I came away thinking, “she’s right. He’s coming after jabot.”

Diane: As soon as tucker realized I wasn’t going along with his plan, he told ashley all about my relationship with jeremy stark, which I’m sure she couldn’t wait to share with nikki and phyllis.

Kyle: So, now they know. They can add it to all the other bad things they already know about you. Is it really that big of a deal?

Diane: Kyle, I don’t care what these women think about me. Nothing will ever change their minds. What I’m worried about is what they’re going to do with all this information now that jeremy stark has been released from prison.

Nikki: I know how important your relationship with jack is. Are you sure you want to continue with our efforts to get rid of diane, knowing how he feels about it?

Ashley: It’s because I care so much for my brother that I’m not going to back down, because I will not let him get manipulated by diane again. I think she has him envisioning some kind of a future together. I don’t know. But that would never happen because she hasn’t changed, right? And she never will change.

Nikki: Oh, no. She’s still the same lying, conniving person she’s always been.

Ashley: Exactly. And that’s why I’m more determined than ever to make sure she gets out of town before she could hurt anybody in my family again. But, nikki, I think we need to be more careful, and we have to be more discreet.

Nikki: Well, phyllis had the idea of reaching out to jeremy stark now that he’s out of prison. She thinks that she can plant the idea that diane plotted with the feds to get him arrested.

Ashley: He’s dangerous. I mean, are you sure that we want to be in direct contact with a man like that?

Adam: He said that to you? Who is this kid, connor? What’s his name?

Chelsea: Adam. Calm down. We can call the school together later and figure out how to handle this, if that’s what we decide to do together as a family.

Connor: So, I could have a say in this?

Chelsea: Well, I promise you, it could be a choice we all make together. But in the meantime, I need you to focus on your classes. So, don’t you have any homework?

Connor: A little.

Chelsea: Yeah. So, why don’t you go to your room and get started on that, okay?

Connor: You and dad want to talk without me around, right?

Chelsea: Yes. My brilliant son, you’re absolutely right. So go — homework.

Connor: [ Sighs ]

Adam: We have to pull him out of that school now, or that kid has to be expelled. Those are the only two options. Announcer: Type 2 diabetes?

Why do dermatologists

choose dove?

Phyllis: Thank you.

Summer: Thanks.

Lily: Thank you.

Phyllis: So, yeah.

[ Laughs ]

Billy: Well, well, well. This looks like a party.

Summer: Hey, why don’t you grab a seat?

Billy: Yeah. Thank you very much.

Phyllis: So, we were just talking about business with lily. I hear that you’re leaving chancellor-winters. Why would you want to leave such a great job?

Lily: The news gets around.

Billy: Yeah, it does. Um, I have decided to walk away from chancellor-winters for personal reasons. But I’ll always support lily because I believe in her.

Lily: Speaking of being supportive, daniel just pitched an amazing idea to chancellor-winters today, and we are in serious discussions to make it happen.

Phyllis: Yay!

Billy: That’s great. Yeah, that happened fast. What’s the project about again?

Phyllis: Oh, you’re not privy to all of those business discussions because you’re leaving the company.

Diane: I know jeremy stark. I have seen up close what’s beneath his perfectly polished exterior. And it’s not pretty. This is not me being paranoid. Nikki, ashley, and phyllis are putting us all in a very dangerous situation.

Kyle: Mom, are you sure —

Diane: Trust me, kyle. They are playing with fire. They have no idea what he’s capable of, how — how ruthless and cold-blooded he can be.

[ Sighs ] You know, all three of those women, they think they’ve dealt with worse and that their money and their social status will give them control over what happens. But they’re wrong.

Kyle: You’re making this guy out like he’s some kind of monster.

Diane: Because he is. None of you have any idea how abusive and unpredictable he can be. I-I am just so afraid of what’s going to happen to me if he finds out that I betrayed him and that I sent him to prison.

Kyle: You really think this man could hurt you?

Diane: I know he could. Jeremy might have gone to prison for a white-collar crime, but money laundering was not the only thing he was guilty of. The feds just couldn’t prove anything else.

Kyle: So, there’s a potentially violent felon after you.

Diane: But not just me. If he’s out for revenge, he knows that hurting the people I love would devastate me. And that means that you and harrison are at risk.

Kyle: Well, that man better not even contemplate hurting my son.

Jack: Kyle, I know how bad this sounds. Don’t worry. We will handle this together.

Kyle: Yeah, damn right we will.

Jack: And I will do everything necessary to protect your mother.

Ashley: I don’t know. I mean, it’s one thing to scare diane with the possibility that we’re going to put it in stark’s head that she betrayed him. It’s quite another to get involved with a known felon. I mean, nikki, he was laundering money for somebody, and we have no idea what else he’s been involved in.

Nikki: Well, I agree. I mean, the last thing we want is to cause any real harm. We just want her to pack her things and get out of town.

Ashley: Exactly, but she told me that he could come after my entire family.

Nikki: Hmm. I don’t know that I buy that. I think she’s just desperate and will do or say anything she can to not have to leave genoa city. The only thing that she cares about is protecting the inroads she’s made with kyle and harrison and jack.

Ashley: Yeah, you’re right. She will lie to get what she wants. That’s for certain.

Nikki: It is maddening to see her manipulate your brother. And you and I both know she’s hoping that he’s going to start looking at her as more than kyle’s mother.

Ashley: She infiltrated thanksgiving, nikki.

Nikki: [ Scoffs ] Talk about losing one’s appetite.

Ashley: I had to actually leave my own family’s thanksgiving-dinner table because I couldn’t stand the sight of her trying to manipulate my family emotionally. You know what she said? She said she was grateful that we allowed her into our family. Clearly, I never got a vote.

Nikki: Ashley, if we don’t nip this in the bud, it’s only going to get worse. She could end up living back here again.

Ashley: Oh, no. That’s not going to happen. This is my house, too.

Nikki: Well, that’s good, because with stark out of prison now, who knows? I wouldn’t be surprised if diane used harrison and the rest of your family to protect herself.

Ashley: Yeah, she’s actually putting us all at risk.

Nikki: Well, it’s really just the appearance of risk. I mean, stark would only be concerned about diane. I don’t think he’s going to go after anybody else.

Ashley: Oh, I don’t know. We can’t be sure about that. You know, honestly, I don’t want anybody to be in danger. Believe it or not, not even diane.

Nikki: I don’t think that we have to worry about that. I mean, victor and jack would never let anything happen to their families. They would know how to deal with it.

Ashley: But this was our plan, nikki. So, what now? We just hand it over to them to do all the dirty work? That doesn’t feel right to me.

Nikki: Well, ashley, I feel like you are walking away. Didn’t you just say you were committed to do whatever it takes? There’s nothing like hitting the waves.

Chelsea: Please keep your voice down. Connor can hear you. Adam, those are not our only options.

Adam: Wait. Some punk is torturing our son, and what are we — we’re just supposed to sit here and accept it? “Boys will be boys”? No, chelsea, that’s not going to happen.

Chelsea: Adam, it’s not like this is anything new. The two of us, we’ve always been in the middle of the gossip, anyway. You know better than anybody you can’t just pack it in and run away every time something like this happens.

Adam: Okay, but we’re talking about our son, chelsea. We’re talking about connor and how this affects him.

Chelsea: I realize that. And I hate this as much as you do. It makes me angry. It breaks my heart. I wish we could protect him from everything forever, but it’s just not realistic. It’s not life. That’s not the way it goes.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Okay, but we — the least we can do is try to shield him from it as much as possible.

Chelsea: I just think that that’s very shortsighted. What we need to do is help connor build confidence and strength to face these kind of things head on and not resort to using his fists. People behave badly for all sorts of reasons. It’s part of being human. You know, it makes me sad. Someone’s using me as a weapon to hurt our son. And of course I feel responsible.

[ Sighs ] But we have to do better. We have to be better, because if we fall apart, if I fall apart, what chance does connor have of getting through this?

Kyle: Dad’s right. You have nothing to worry about. And I promise I will be there to protect you, too. And between the two of us, you’ll be safe from stark.

Diane: I can’t tell you what it means to me to have the two of you standing by me like this. I hate that this is happening. I never wanted to bring trouble into our family, but it is just so wrong that those women are using my past as a weapon.

Kyle: Look. I’m not going to let anything happen to you. Now, we need to come up with a plan and get control of the situation and make sure that ashley, nikki, and phyllis don’t actually reach out to stark.

Jack: Look, I want to believe they’re bluffing. They’re just trying to scare her out of town because of this threat.

Kyle: Yeah, maybe that’s true. But mom didn’t cut and run.

Diane: No, and I made it perfectly clear that I wasn’t going to, either. I will never abandon my family again. I made that mistake once, and it won’t happen. But I don’t want to put anyone else in danger.

Kyle: You are not the one who who’d be putting anyone in danger. But we can’t risk taking any chances. We need to let everyone know this isn’t a damn game.

Summer: Daniel, this is so cool. You knocked it out of the park on your first try.

Phyllis: Like mother, like son. Entrepreneurship is in your blood.

Daniel: Telling you, I’m trying to start a brand-new chapter in my life.

Billy: You’re still painting, though, right? Is it like an online gallery or something?

Daniel: Let’s just say that it is an idea that is still in its early stages.

Summer: Well, I, for one, am dying to hear all about it. You have been so secretive since you got to town. Come on, give us a hint, at least.

Lily: Well, no, no, no. We have to keep it under wraps for now.

Summer: Okay. I guess I can be patient, especially since this project is going to keep you in town for a while.

Billy: Yeah, I haven’t heard anything about it. Lily hasn’t mentioned it.

Lily: Well, I didn’t get a chance to tell you. You’ve been really busy with other things.

Summer: [ Clears throat ]

Phyllis: Well, we have to get back to work, right? Anyway, I don’t have to say goodbye, because since you’re sticking around, I’ll see you soon!

Summer: Oh, man, I am so excited that you’re going to be living here. And I cannot wait to hear about what you’re going to be working on.

Daniel: Well, it’s good to be home.

Lily: Bye.

Phyllis: Bye.

Lily: Uh, excuse me. I have to take this.

Daniel: Ahh.

[ Laughs ] Got to say, man, a lot has changed since I left town. But you, my friend, you have not changed a bit.

Billy: Meaning what?

Tide pods ultra oxi

Daniel: I’m just saying that you’re still the same guy that you were when I left town.

Billy: Alright. Well, I’m not sure how to take that, but it kind of sounds like an insult.

Daniel: Mnh-mnh. I’m talking about your decision to abruptly leave chancellor-winters. You walk out while they’re in the middle of this big transition. I don’t know what would cause you to make that choice other than, you know, that’s just what you do. It’s who you were. It was like a pattern, from what I can remember. And lily, I mean, she doesn’t seem all that thrilled.

Billy: Well, how lily feels is really none of your business.

Daniel: Fair enough. Can I be honest?

Billy: Yeah. Why stop now?

Daniel: I got to tell you. I was more than a little surprised when I found out the two of you were a serious thing, especially after cane, the way that whole mess turned out. I just thought that she would have opted for, I don’t know, someone steadier, someone more reliable. But I guess old habits die hard, right?

Lily: Hello. What did I miss?

Chelsea: We have to show connor we can handle this so he can learn how to handle it.

Adam: You’re right. I guess I just had a knee-jerk reaction. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Chelsea: I’m just going to make connor a snack.

Kyle: I promise, mom. We’ve got this. We’re going to deal with it.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Diane: Do you think I could take you to lunch as a way to thank you for your support?

Jack: How about dinner?

Kyle: Summer. We need to talk.

Summer: What’s going on?

Kyle: The attacks on my mother have escalated to a point where it could get dangerous.

Summer: Okay, I assume this is diane’s version of events.

Kyle: Phyllis threatened my mother. She said that maniac stark would come looking for if he thought that she ratted him out. Now he’s out of prison. And if phyllis puts a target on my mother’s back —

Summer: Just slow down. We don’t even know if my mom said any of that. And if she did, I’m sure she was just bluffing. Besides, if diane didn’t turn on him, there’s got to be a way to prove that. Diane did it. Are you sure? Did she tell you this herself?

Kyle: She swore dad and me to secrecy for everyone’s safety.

Summer: I should have known about this the second that you and jack did. This is my family, too.

Kyle: You’re right. I never should have agreed to keep it from you. And it’s why I’m telling you now. But now you know why this war is out of control. Phyllis is at the center of it, along with nikki and ashley. I’m telling you, summer. This has to stop now.

Ashley: Nikki, nobody wants diane out of here more than i do, absolutely nobody. But we have to think this through. What if stark does go after diane, and something happens to her as a result?

Nikki: I just don’t think anything like that will happen.

Ashley: But you can’t be 100% sure. What if we push him too far, and he becomes violent because of information that we provided? Information, by the way, that might not even be true. We’re responsible.

[ Knock on door ]

Phyllis: Hey, it’s done. Done!

Ashley: What’s done?

Phyllis: I spoke to stark — anonymously, of course.

Nikki: You spoke to him directly?

Phyllis: I did. I told him that it was diane who made a deal with the feds that ultimately landed him in prison. [ Laughs ]

Ridge: This whole time. This whole time I thought it was you that called child services. It’s thomas. He’s using– using some kind of app on a kid’s phone. What–

Brooke: How is that even possible?

Ridge: I don’t know. But it is because it sounded just like you. Thomas got what he wanted. I walked away from you. I walked away from our life. And turned to taylor.

Thomas: Hope you’re satisfied, steff. If you just kept quiet, mom and dad would be married right now.

Steffy: Oh, no. Don’t you put this on me. You’re the one who created this mess. Using the app, pinning the cps call on brooke. That was all you.

Thomas: Where the heck’s your loyalty to our family, to our mom and dad?

Steffy: Are you really saying this right now? What you did was awful. Not to mention what you did to your own son.

Thomas: Douglas is fine.

Steffy: No thanks to you. You told him to keep a secret. You put him in a terrible position. What kind of parent does that, thomas?

Thomas: I’ll make it up to him.

Steffy: You say that so cavalierly, like it’s no big deal. It’s a big deal!

Thomas: Steffy–

Steffy: A very big deal.

Thomas: Just leave it alone.

Taylor: Stop. Both of you. I cannot handle this right now.

Thomas: You’re right. You shouldn’t handle this right now. You should be married, if it wasn’t for steff.

Steffy: Me?

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Me, I’m responsible? No. This is all on you. This is your fault.

Taylor: Just stop, you guys, please. You never know, maybe ridge is going to go make things right, and he’ll come back, and we’ll have a wedding.

Steffy: You see what you’re putting our mom through? This could have been one of the happiest days of her life. What you did was so dishonest and terrible, thomas. But the saddest part is I think you would do it all over again if it meant getting your way.

Paul: Becoming a regular here, mr. Spencer. The usual? You okay?

Bill: I need a double, paul, not a shrink.

Paul: Of course.

Bill: They want you to grow, to change. And then you get kicked in the teeth. What are you left with?

Paul: Is that why you have been spending so much time here recently?

Bill: Why not? Nothing and no one to go home to.

Thomas: I did what I did because I wanted mom and dad to be happily married.

Steffy: I wanted that, too. But not like this. Not based on lies and deception. Thomas, I thought you changed. I really did.

Taylor: Yeah. I thought so, too. You know what else I thought? I thought that me not telling your dad wouldn’t make a difference to us getting married. But I was wrong. God, I should have told him. It was a– it was a complete lack of judgment on my part.

Finn: My mom took the kids home. I also spoke with eric and carter. They’re assuming there won’t be a wedding today.

Steffy: We don’t know that for sure. Yes, thomas’ stupid plan threw off the day, but I know how much my father loves my mother. And I am hoping they are going to get married today.

Ridge: Thomas lied. He played all of us. Do you remember in aspen, when I asked you to just say it? Why are you pretending that you don’t know what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Could you just be honest and– and say it? I just need to hear you say it.

Brooke: Say what? I– I don’t know what it is you want me to say. I mean, what do you think I did?

Ridge: And you told me you didn’t know what I was talking about.

Brooke: I didn’t know, ridge. I had no clue.

Ridge: I know that now. But then I–

Brooke: Why didn’t you just tell me? You heard my voice on that call, and I would have told you it wasn’t me. We could have gotten down to the bottom of it. Why didn’t you just believe in me? Hi, I’m angela.

Steffy: Mom, I hope you’re not disappointed in me for telling dad the truth.

Thomas: How could she not be disappointed? You blew everything sky high when you blabbed about it.

Finn: No, no, no. Do not attack steffy for telling the truth. She was trying to fix your mess.

Taylor: No. You were in a– you were in a really difficult spot. And I’m glad you said something when you did because I wasn’t going to. I– I couldn’T. It was– it was our wedding day. Your– your dad told me that– that us getting married had nothing to do with anything that brooke did. And I challenged him.

Steffy: Mom, dad knows you are in a tough position. Because of thomas.

Taylor: You know what? I– I know I was going to tell him everything tomorrow. Now… I don’t know what to expect.

Brooke: Okay. I want to know everything. Don’t leave anything out.

Ridge: Don’t leave anything out. I’ll try. I don’t know that I understand any of this myself.

[ Ridge sighing ] You um– okay. Child services showed up. Right after you said– right after you threatened that you would call them if there was anything going on with douglas.

[ Brooke scoffing ]

Brooke: I was upset and worried when I said that, ridge. I never would have handled things that way. Thomas is your son. I would have come to you first.

Ridge: I know that. You’d think I would know that. You’d think– you’d think there’s a lot of stuff that I would know. Stuff that happens right under my nose. Like watching douglas. I see him every day. I thought he was preoccupied. I thought maybe he was in ble wiomds s ionno um. That’s my boy. That’s my son.

Brooke: Oh, I can’t believe this. I mean, I knew that thomas was somehow involved, but never in a million years would I ever think he would do anything like this.

Ridge: Neither did I.

Brooke: I know you don’t want to hear this, ridge, but your son needs some serious professional help. And I’m not talking about taylor.

Ridge: I agree.

Brooke: You’re just learning about all of this?

Ridge: Douglas found some recordings on his phone and played it for steffy. And– and steffy gave the phone to thomas. And then she told me. And then she stopped the wedding.

Brooke: Oh. Okay. So, steffy and douglas and thomas, they are the ones who knew about this. What about taylor?

Ridge: Taylor knew.

Brooke: Taylor knew. Taylor knew what thomas did and she didn’t tell you the truth?

[ Brooke scoffing ] If you’re on medicare,

Paul: Another one, mr. Spencer?

Bill: Why not? I don’t have anywhere else to be.

Deacon: All by your lonesome, big guy?

Bill: And what do you want, convict?

Deacon: Just being polite to the patrons, especially the ones who’ve been coming in on a regular basis lately. Eating, drinking alone. You know, actually, I’m kind of surprised you even have time to hang out here. I mean, I– I figured you’d be gobbling up some company or, you know, putting some poor, defenseless people out of work.

Steffy: I’m so sorry, mom.

Taylor: I know.

Steffy: It’s– it’s a lot.

Taylor: It is a lot.

Steffy: But we’re going to get through this.

Finn: I just checked with eric and carter. There’s still no word from ridge.

Thomas: Maybe I should go over to brooke’S.

Steffy and taylor: No.

Steffy: No. Plus, dad needs some time to process things.

Thomas: Process whether he’s gonna kick me out of the company or the family?

Taylor: Thomas, your father was very upset. We all were. But you are his son. Ridge is never going to turn his back on you. Okay? But there will be consequences.

Steffy: Thomas, you used this opportunity to tilt things towards mom with dad. They would have found each other. Dad would have proposed to mom despite the cps call. I just wish you had faith in our parents.

Thomas: I guess we’ll find out how much faith I should have had or whether dad was lying to mom all along.

Steffy: We have no idea what’s going to happen, thomas. We don’t know. Why? Because of you. All because of you.

Brooke: How long has taylor known what thomas did?

Ridge: She found out today, just like me.

Brooke: Or before you found out. She was willing to go ahead and marry you without revealing the truth about that cps call.

Ridge: I know how this sounds.

Brooke: Ridge, she deceived you.

Ridge: She swore to me she would tell me.

Brooke: When? When was she going to tell you? When you slipped the ring on her finger, and she became your wife?

Ridge: Okay. The point is the truth is out and I came over here because you were played. I was played. And I came to apologize. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I hurt you.

Brooke: You have been over there living with taylor, sharing her bed while I am here alone and heartbroken, trying to figure out what it is that went wrong, so I could fix it. Why didn’t you just talk to me? Why couldn’t you even give me that decency? Damn it, ridge, please show me some respect.

Ridge: You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m more sorry than I can say.

Deacon: Come on, bill. It’s no fun if you just sit there and let me needle you and you don’t punch back. Or maybe you got something on your mind, and it’s not verbal jabs with a convict. Maybe… maybe big bad bill is in a funk because, wait for it, you’ve been striking out in the romance department, huh? That’s right. I knew you have been sniffing around brooke again. Pretty sure she shut you down. I mean, there’s always katie. Of course, you burned her so many times. I doubt she’ll sign on for another tour of your betrayal and disappointment. I guess there’s only one thing left to do. Welcome to the lonely hearts club, pal.

Thomas: All right, steff. I’m done being bashed by you. You may not like what I did.

Steffy: Doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel, thomas.

Thomas: I just didn’t stand around helplessly while brooke destroyed our entire family again. I exposed her and her wanting to call cps on me.

Steffy: Your lie was exposed, and now dad is furious with you, and we are all in limbo.

Thomas: And you could have just kept your mouth shut and they’d be married right now.

Finn: I’m serious. You need to stop talking to your sister like that.

Thomas: You know what? You have manipulated the situation all along to get them together. Now, you grow a conscience?

Taylor: All she did was speak up, thomas. She told the truth and it was the right thing to do.

Thomas: Even if that means you lose dad forever?

Brooke: Do you know how hard I’ve been hoping and praying for this moment? That you would come back to me and just open up? And we could talk about this and figure it out together? Ridge, I know that you’re sorry. And I know that you didn’t mean to hurt me. But today was your wedding day. And I’m still trying to grapple with that. The fact that you wanted to marry taylor and just throw away everything, everything that we’ve built together. I know that thomas and steffy and taylor still want you over there in their lives. But you know what? I can’t do this. I can’t just open my heart to you. I’m not putting you on the spot. It’s just this back and forth, it has to stop. And you’re the one who has to do it. So, what is it? What do you want with your life? Do you want to marry taylor? Or do you still want a life with me? That’s what you’re going to have to decide. Just know whatever it is, I will always love you.

Ridge: I will always love you. And you’re right. I need to take some time.

Brooke: You’ll always be my everything to me. But there’s something more important. And that is my self-respect. Yeah, it’s really taken a beating over the years, you know? And mostly because I would do anything to get whatever it is that I wanted at that moment, including you. But I’m not like that anymore. Every time I look in the mirror, I like the woman that I see. And I admire her and I respect her. And I won’t take anything less than I deserve. And now it’s your turn to figure it out. Figure out what it is that you admire in yourself, ridge. What you want out of your life. I– I can’t do it for you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I miss you so much. Well, at least we got to have Thanksgiving together, right? Wasn’t enough. I started missing you as soon as it was over. Me too. Are you. Did I pick a bad time to come? No, I, there’s never a bad time to see you. And what is it? It’s just that. On Thanksgiving, when I went back to my cell for the first time, I felt like I’m never gonna get outta here.

I told you all interview requests. Go to my assistant first. Yes, I know I don’t have an assistant anymore. Figure it out. Oh, Abraham. Oh, it’s so good to see a friendly face. . Well, the press is hounding you, huh? Oh, I try to talk policy, but all those vultures want to ask me about is you now. Oh, I’m so sorry, sweetheart.

Oh, that’s okay. That’s okay. My poor babies all as I think about anyway, but I have had an epiphany. Oh, really? About. , the one Sure Fire way to help Chanel out of this situation. Oh, well that’s great. That’s great. Can I help? I mean, I’ll, I’ll do whatever you need. Oh, well I’m glad to hear that because you are the only one who can do it.

Do what? . It’s simple Fire Melinda Trask.

Okay. What the, you looking for an assault charge counselor? No, actually, I’m looking for you. You’ve been ignoring my calls and you’re holding my client without an arraignment or a bail hearing. It’s outrageous and unethical and you’re not gonna get away with it. Tommy Moore.

Eric, I told you I don’t wanna talk Jada. It’s not Eric.

Okay. Hey, now look, I know it’s really early to be talking about morning sickness, but I want you to be prepared. I used this tea during all of my pregnancies and it was a godsend, and I hope it works the same for you. That’s, that’s very kind of you. But, um, I’m not planning on having any morning sickness.

Okay, look, I know you’re really tough, and I know your wrist is toxic, but you’re not going to be able to will this away. All right? Well, you’re gonna find out soon enough, so no, you, you don’t understand. Uh, I’m not going to have morning sickness because I’m not going to have a baby. I ended my pregnancy.

What did you say to Jada? To Jada? Just tell me the truth. Did you encourage her to have an abortion? I can’t believe you’re asking me. I asked her the question, yes or no. Did you push her to terminate that pregnancy? Is that what that bitch told you?

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

Stop it. Stop trying to make Jayden the bad guy. Well, if she’s accusing me, she’s not accusing you. I’m asking you a question. Whoa. Whatever it is. She’s obviously lied about our conversation. She said you asked her why she would wanna have a baby that would tie her to me forever. What was an honest question?

Wait a minute. Is she suggesting that I told her to get an abortion and you believed it? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’m gonna settle this. I’m gonna clear things up with her. That’s, no, there’s no point. Of course, there’s a point. I’m not gonna let her walk around and tell lies about me, making me sound like some kind of maniac, telling her that I, I want her to get an abortion.

I mean, there’s no point in you going over there to tell her what you meant. It’s too late, too late. She had an abortion. Nicole

Baby’s gone.

You ended your pregnancy. Eric and I were planning to have the baby, but I changed my mind. And if you don’t understand, then no. I, I, I understand if, if that’s what you wanted to do, I, it’s so judgment Jada. I am just surprised because when we first talked to you, were conflicted with this Thanksgiving. You seem set.

What happened?

I mean, the longer I thought about it, even though I was gonna be sharing a baby with Eric, still I’d be alone half the time. I’d be raising that child as a single mother and have full-time job. It was just, it would just be too difficult for me. And also being tied to Eric.

She’s joking, right? You, you actually expect me to fire Melinda Trask, so she can’t carry through on prosecuting Chanel. I am dead serious, Abraham. Sloan Peterson is harnessing that woman’s hatred from me, uh, to railroad my daughter. I, I understand. So then you can see why this is the only answer. Maybe I can’t do anything about Sloan, but a pink slip from you would end the threat from that heartless DA for good.

So can you make that? No, no. Pauline, I’m sorry. I can’t fire Melinda Trask. Oh, such dramatics Ms. Brady. A bit over the top. If you asked me, you might wanna tone it down once we’re in the courtroom. What courtroom You’ve been holding Chanel and limbo since the minute you had. She’s in prison awaiting trial.

The courts are just a little backed up right now. Last time I checked this was America. She has a right to a fair and speedy trial and, and this entire alleged crime didn’t even happen in this country. Well, I’ve been working very closely with Scotland Yard on this prosecution. Since the perpetrator is using my jurisdiction to evade responsibility, not to mention any of the subsequent laws that may have been broken in Salem to keep this cover up going.

We both know why you’re holding her without bail, and so you can feast on all this publicity, right? It’s not every day you get to prosecute the governor’s daughter. A woman is dead, Ms. Brady and the Governor elect might be involved. And so what? Now you track me down to. Whine about it. Your client deserves better.

You know what? Actually she doesn’t. Now, if you excuse me, I am late for lunch.

Did I go overboard with the food? I just felt like I needed to do something. You’re here. That’s enough. Doesn’t feel like. But at least I can look you in the eyes and tell you that you are not going to be here forever. You don’t know that. Well, I do know that you have so many people who love you, and we are going to do everything we possibly can to get you out of this.

Hey, no, my time can’t be up. I have 30 minutes. Uh, Chanel has another visitor.

What is she doing here?

You must be the girlfriend. I’m Sloan Peterson. Yeah, I know who you are because she even allowed to be back here. It’s up to Chanel. You say the word no, escort Ms. Peterson right back out. Up to you. So Chanel please tell her to go. You do not owe her anything. No, it’s fine. Let’s hear what she has to say.

You sure you’re gonna say?

I guess I should say thank you. But I’m not really feeling that grateful. It’s things that you slept with my father and murdered my mother. We’ve never formally been introduced Chanel Dupre. I’m your worst nightmare.

Chanel didn’t murder anybody. What happened to your mother was an accident. Well, I am so glad you think so, but just because you’re sleeping with the defendant doesn’t make her innocent. Okay. Listen, there was nothing accidental about the way my mother met her in. I know the full story. Chanel was tricked by your mother to go up to that roof, and then things got tense and she fell.

So why don’t you just leave Chanel. Such passion. I can see why you like her, but you and I know the real truth about what happened, don’t we? Chanel, why are you here? Because I needed to see if you would lie to my face the same way you’ve lied to everybody else about what happened that night.

I’m sorry for your loss. I really am, and I would give anything to change what happened that day, but it’s way more complicated than you think. Complicated, huh? I read the initial police report. You know, you told the campus authorities that it was your fault that night, and then after you had. Sleep on it and think about it.

All of a sudden it was an accident. That’s not how it happened. My words were misinterpreted. Oh, sure. They were. Maybe by now you’ve even convinced yourself that it was an accident. Remember, your mother convinced you. I mean, she sure did work hard to cover it up.

It must be nice to have a mother that works that hard to fight for you. My mother would have until you took her away.

The district attorney serves at your pleasure, right? You do the hiring and firing well technically. I can

theoretically, who would I put in her place? Bell seems like a smart cookie sale. I’m would be lucky to have such a qualified da. So you want me to rig her case by hiring her, her own lawyer to prosecute her? No. Well it sounds bad when you put it that way. It is bad. Okay. Okay, fine. Well just find someone else.

Appoint the cast of law ought to Salem for all I care. Just get rid of Melinda Trash. Sorry, as before she. Anymore to hurt my baby.

Move out of my way. Please. No, your lunch is gonna have to wait. I don’t know what you expect to happen here. I have said everything I have to say. Oh my God, Melinda, is this really the hill you wanna die on? You wanna punish some young woman for an accident that happened years ago in another country? Yeah.

Well, the British government may still wanna file extradition papers for Ms. Dupree. In the meantime, they’ve asked us to ensure that she doesn’t disappear, and yet you’re not willing to make that argument in front of a judge in open court. You think I’m purposely slowing down the wheels of justice? You filed to put a stay on a bail hearing and then made sure the busiest judge on the circuit got it late on a Friday afternoon.

Judge Ellis made a fair ruling. He rubber stamped your request just like you knew he would. Okay, looks like you figured me out. Okay. Too bad there’s not much you can do about it. Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. Mm-hmm. . Oh wait.

Are you. I’m fine. Well, it’s okay not to be.

I’m not gonna cry over Eric or my decision. I’m convinced it was what I, I needed to do.

Did Eric try to stop you from terminating the pregnancy? I didn’t give him a chance. I just told him a little while ago after it already happened.

So how does he react?

Shea had an abortion. That’s right. She did.

And you think it’s my fault You confronted her, didn’t you? No, I didn’t confront her. I just talked to her. That’s all. And I certainly didn’t talk to her about doing this. I, she didn’t even mention she was considering it. Maybe that’s because she wasn’t until after she spoke to you. Wasn’t even part of the conversation.

We didn’t even discuss it as a possibility. Eric, did you try talking her out of it? No, because by the time she told me she had already gone through with it. She didn’t consult you? No. You were the last person who spoke to her before she made a decision. Eric, I swear I did not put that. Why did you even speak?

Why

this pregnancy is loving your damn business?

A wri of habeas corpus, huh? Mm-hmm. manning you to appear in court and justify your reasons for holding Chanel in Definit. I know what it says. Good. Then you’ll also know that you’ll have to appear in front of an impartial judge. My client has constitutional rights, and you are duty bound to explain why you’ve decided to take them all away.

You think they’re so damn smart, don’t you? I think I’m doing what’s right for my client. Ms. Dupree is getting bail today. Madam da. Can I give you a ride to the courthouse?

Sloan, I would give anything for your mother to still be alive. True. You would to get yourself off the hook because she didn’t deserve what happened to her. Which part? Because your assault on my mother didn’t start on that roof. It started the first day that you hooked up with my father. Did. You didn’t care that he was married when you started sleeping with him?

I did, but he didn’t seem. And I, I tried to put it outta my head and I was really young and it just happened. Nothing just happens. You made it happen. No. Hell she did. Your father was the adult in the situation. You stay out of this. It, it wasn’t something that I was looking for. He pursued me. So you were the innocent girl and he was the predator is.

Did your mama give you that talking point? Or maybe it was your lawyer? Let’s not pretend like you were a child. You were of age. I was in college. You were an adult living in a foreign country all by yourself. Okay. I’m, I’m not saying that I’m proud of the affair, but he was the married one. Well then if you knew it was wrong, why did you keep doing it?

Because,

I dunno. Don’t know why you kept going back to that rooftop to meet him time after time after time. Like you didn’t know he had a wife. Like you didn’t know he had a family. Don’t play innocent like you didn’t want it. Like you didn’t set out to take everything from her. Stop it. Just stop it. Leave her.

Are you really asking me how this is any of my business? Yes. I’m asking you We’re together, Eric. Oh my God. And this isn’t some minor issue. Can you imagine how I felt when I showed up at the pub on Thanksgiving and heard you declare that you were planning on raising Jada’s baby together? And I told you that you told me.

I was the last to know when I told you that I didn’t know that you already knew because you were spying on us on Thanksgiving day. I wasn’t spying. I came there to see you and what I found was you and Jada celebrating that she decided to have your baby. And you know what? It didn’t, this didn’t look like a couple that had broken up.

It looked like it looked like.

It looked like a couple getting back together. Okay? So I wanted to find out what was going on. So you didn’t think about coming to meet with that question. Do you really wanna do this? Do what? You happened to run into me that night at the square. That’s when you told me Jada was going to keep her baby.

You know why? I can’t help but. So I wasn’t there. When were you planning on telling me?

Eric was surprised when I told him he had wished that he was a part of the decision and he wasn’t, because I, I was afraid that he was gonna talk me out of it. I mean, he insists that he wouldn’t, but it’s just a lot cleaner this way. Well, I’m, I’m very sorry you had to go through it alone. I’m used to being on my own.

Did you talk to, to anyone else before you made the choice? Actually, I did have one conversation about it. He’s a friend. The last person I call a friend, the decision to have the baby was between Jada and me and everyone at the Thanksgiving table. Just not me. You got sick, cold. It all happened just in the moment.

All I know is what I saw, and I thought I might be losing you. So I wanted to find out what Jada’s intentions were. So I asked her if she was ready for this baby to be linked to you and to her forever. Even though you were with me, and that’s all you said, that’s all you asked of her? No, no. I talked to her about what it was like being a single mother.

I made it all out to be a terrible fate. Didn’t sugar coat it? I told her it was hard because it is, but he didn’t do it to scare her off. Yeah. Well, according to Jada, she said she gave her a friendly reminder that you weren’t going.

Oh, that’s true, isn’t it? I was just being honest. Come in, Nicole. You’re not being honest. Now I’m saying that you said all this in innocence to a woman whose obviously conflicted about going through with her pregnancy. I didn’t know she was conflicted and ha, I’m not pretending anything, Eric. Hell, you’re not.

Obviously, you know, your words can sway Jada’s decision about getting an abortion or getting rid of the child in which she. You got exactly what you want. Didn’t you

please tell me that Nicole didn’t pressure you into getting an abortion? No. No, she didn’t. But she did paint a pretty harsh picture of what single motherhood would look like, which made you rethink having your. Huh, whatever her motives were, uh, it really helped me to reevaluate the pros and cons. You know, I have, I have friends that say that having a child is the best thing that ever happened to them.

And one day I would love to be a mother. I really would just not like this. You know, not now you actually. I went over to scare your ex-girlfriend into ending her pregnancy. What else am I supposed to think? Oh, you were the last one who talked to her before she made a decision. Actions have consequences, Nicole, but you never learn, do you?

What does that mean? It means over and over you act impulsively without thinking.

Are you talking about me jumping into bed with Xander? Oh my God. How would you even be bringing him up? Well, because this whole speech about my impulse, is it just sitting in the holster? No, I think the reason you assume I pushed Jada into her choice. It’s because deep down you. Don’t trust me.

I am never gonna be good enough for you. Emma. Stop with a self pity. Would you self pity? It’s not, I’m not feeling sorry for myself. If anything, I’m feeling guilty. You know what? Yes. I was feeling threatened by Jada’s pregnancy and yes, you know what? I was hoping that she wouldn’t keep the baby there. I said it.

I would do anything for you for Chanel, then fire the witch. You put my daughter behind bars. I would do it if I thought it would make things better for her. Would you hurt her? Abraham? She would send Chanel to prison for life if we let her. I can’t let that happen. And we won’t. We won’t. I promise you, but, but if I did this, the press.

All over it. They’d be all over you and the city council would impeach me. Oh, let them try. All Ians have been sent to prison for less. Now if we, if we try to help with Chanel in this way, that we’d be, we’d be in the cell right next to her.

Hold on to this one. Chanel, she’s passionate, loyal, a lot younger than my dad. You leave her out of this. I’m paying her a compliment. If only you’d have figured out you liked girls a little bit sooner, maybe my mother would still be here. What do you want me to say, Sloan? I’ve already said I shouldn’t have had the affair, but that doesn’t change the fact that your dad had all the power in our relationship.

And Y all your anger and all your bitterness isn’t going to change that. Do I sound bitter? I’m sorry. That kind of comes with the territory when you find out that your mother’s suicide was a murder that’s. Look, I’m sorry that you had to find out the way that you did. You are sorry. Once you moved on with your life, did you ever stop to take a minute to think about how my brother and I were doing, how we were handling our mother’s death?

Enough? Will you just leave her alone? No, I won’t. Not until I get an answer. I want to know. Chanel, did you ever stop and think for a second what it felt like to us to watch our father slowly drink himself to death?

I didn’t think so, and it was all because he was holding in that terrible secret that he didn’t reveal to us that he was on his deathbed. His death bed.

I’m sorry. Yeah, I heard you the first time. For someone who says, a have no power, be sure to have enough to destroy my life.

Okay. Okay. We can’t fire Melinda Trask, but we can’t just let them roll over my baby. You trust me more than anything in the world. And you believe me when I say that I will fight for Chanel every step of the way. I will not stop fighting for your daughter and neither will Bill. She’s the smartest, most tenacious lawyer I know.

And if anyone can outfox. Linda Trask, it’s Bell.

Oh, I’m glad I found you. Oh, what’s going on? I need to talk to Chanel. Can you bring her up? Uh, she’s already in the interrogation room. She has visitors. Yeah. Yeah. Ellie came to see her and, and Sloan. Peterson. Wait, Sloan’s in there. You left them alone in there. Like Chanel agreed to speak to her. My hands are tied here.

Why is there something going on? Yeah, he could say that. All right. You have said everything you need to say. So now it’s my turn. Well, you have no say in this. Yes, I do. Important. I see you talk about your pain, and I can see that it hurts. But Chanel has a life and she has a future. And yes, she made mistakes, but she has worked to become a better person.

And honestly, is this even about your mother anymore? What is that supposed to mean? I said you can’t figure it out. When you first got to Salem, did you confront Chanel? Did you ask for an apology? He tried to get a big payday. You don’t know me. You don’t know what I’ve been through, and I am owed restitution along with revenge.

God, please tell me her time is up. All she did was come in here and her rationale and try and make her feel more punished than she already is. Chanel, you’re going home What you made bail.

Finally some honesty. Yes, I am being honest and I am sorry that I went to Jada without you knowing, but I’m not sorry for wishing that we could avoid a, a huge complication in our lives now that we’re back together. He said, you saw me Thanksgiving dinner and my dad hosted.

Yeah, and you must have seen me when I was happy, and part of that was because I got back together with the love of my life, and part of that was because I was going to be a father. You know how much that means to me? Of course I do. I hope it would mean something to you as.

We were both so surprised when we learned feta was pregnant. Yeah, so a so just decided to get back together and it’s something that you were planning or hoping for.

We can’t always plan the things that are gonna happen in our. But it doesn’t mean that I didn’t want it

and you, I couldn’t give you the baby that you always wanted. Is that what you were gonna say?

You know, someday. Someday I’ll have a child. God willing. It’s too bad that Eric won’t be the father. He would’ve been great. Even though I’m mad as hell at him. He’s still one hell of a guy. Yes. Yes he is.

I’m sorry that you got hurt. What’s next? Focus on my job. Mm-hmm. , no. Figure out what I want in life and, and work on making that happen. Yeah. Well, I have a feeling you’re going to do just fine. Well, I’m used to taking care of myself. Yeah. I can relate. But it’s nice to have someone in your life too. Yeah, it was nice while it lasted.

I wasn’t gonna say that. Are you sure?

Are you sure you were gonna say how grateful you were? That Jada could give you a child of your own when I’m not capable. Could you believe, I was gonna say something so hurtful cause a few minutes ago you were willing to think that I talked Jada into ending her pregnancy and it You didn’t seem to care that you hurt me then.

I didn’t think that. Yeah. Well, you know, you. Her getting an abortion had a lot to do with my conversation with her. Here. I, I know how much you wanna be a father,

but you chose someone who can’t make that happen happened. I told you how satisfied I was with El Ree Holly. Yeah. Maybe. But once you found out Jada’s news, you got so swept up, so swept up that you forgot I even existed. That’s true. You are a part of this dream, Nicole. Really? Really? I mean, did you call me over to let me in on the plan?

Did you even mention me in your big announcement? No, you didn’t. You didn’t think of me at all. So, how the hell could I be part of your dream,

mama? Oh. Oh my baby. Oh, I made bail. Oh yes, we heard. We heard. Oh, thank the Lord be called and told us to come right over. You see? You see, I knew you could do it. Well, it was a bit of a Hail Mary, but it worked. . I was so happy for you to preach. Well, thank you, bill. Thank you. How did you do it? Oh, well, I had to force trash to appear in front of a judge and prove that there was no case to hold you without bail.

Oh, well, nicely done. You tried the right lawyer. , thank you so much. Bail. Well, we still have a long way to go, but it was a good first step. So what do we do now? Well, as soon as you pay the bail, Chanel’s free. Oh, well just tell me where to take the check. My little girl needs to come home. not so fast.

You stay away from my daughter. We have had enough of your. The judge has ruled nalin that she has, but this isn’t about Chanel. What are you talking about? Here you go, detective, do your duty, please. What? What is this? Wait. Chanel can still the home though, right? Chanel has seen granted bail, but her murder charge is not the only crime that’s stemming from this unfortunate incident.

What other crimes? How about the coverup that follow? Mastermind by na, our shiny new governor elect. Detective,

I’m sorry to do this, but uh, calling a price. You’re under arrest for criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. No. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of. So you have the right to an attorney. You cannot afford an attorney. I will be appointed for you

Jada. Look, I know that you pride yourself on being independent and not needing anyone, but um, I really hope that we can remain friends cuz I really. . I feel the same way about you, Kate. Great. That’s important because with my history, I really need a friend in the Salem pd. Believe me, . You know what? Yeah, I’ve, I’ve heard some stories about you.

Yeah. Well, don’t believe them. I mean, they are true, but don’t believe them . So is there anything else I can get you cuz I can do better than tea ? No, I, I think right now I think I just need some rest. Okay. But you’ll, you’ll call me right? Yeah, I just, right now I just, just feeling tired. Yeah. I think it’s probably, it’s all catching up with

Kate,

even though I know I, I did what was right for me. It still doesn’t make it any easier. Sweet. Oh, honey. I know. I know. Oh, you need to get it out. You really need to get it out.

That’s right. I’m sorry. I never meant to make you feel like it didn’t matter, but you can’t help. It can. Shea decided to end her pregnancy without telling you, and you can’t be mad at her, so you have to take it out on me because I’m an easy target. And after Xander and, and all the other mistakes I made, this is just a one more way to disappoint you.

Stop just,

this is not about you and I not being able to have a baby together.

About what you did, about you going to Jada,

you broke a trust. I can’t be undone,

can’t go back.

Jada’s baby is gone now and I have to find a way to live with that.

Live without being a father or live with my role in it.

You can.

You can’t just say something like that and walk away.

Why now?

Where do we go from here?

I don’t know. No.

General Hospital Updates

GH logo

Update written by Dustin

At the cabin where Holly has taken refuge, Jordan orders Mac to move in, the cabin explodes taking everyone by surprise.  Holly rushes out consumed by flames. Robert, who is at first subdued by Mac, rushes over with a blanket and extinguishes the flames covering Holly.  Robert screams.

The paramedics, after conducting their initial exam, explain Holly has third-degree burns over most of her body. They tell Robert that the burn unit at General Hospital is not equipped to handle such a serious case, so they plan to airlift Holly to a hospital that is better equipped. Robert goes with her. Jordan tells Mac she needs him on site.

The paramedics load Holly into an ambulance with Robert by her side. Later by the side of the road, the ambulance stops and the back doors open.  The paramedics exit and Felicia reveals herself as the driver. Holly sits up in the back of the ambulance without a hint of injury.

They all exit the ambulance and Holly thanks Felicia, who provides her with a new passport. Holly explains the events as they have unfolded over the past 24 hours. Felicia had shown up the previous night at the cabin and helped her fix the stove to explode when the time was right. She had also brought flame retardant clothing. Holly further reveals to Felicia that she and Robert staged his drugging, providing her the opportunity to “steal” the necklace. Holly explains that Ethan’s only chance at survival is if Victor thinks she is of no use to him. Felicia tells everyone that the official story will record that Holly was transported to a burn unit thousands of miles from Port Charles on the other side of the world. Holly is just sorry they had to keep Mac in the dark. Felicia says that under the circumstances she believes he would understand and says it provides him with plausible deniability.  As long as he is in the dark, he will not be lying to Jordan.

Holly then recalls meeting and giving Selina one of the diamonds from the necklace, in exchange for her drugging Victor.  Selina asked her what Victor did to her, and she explained he was holding her son hostage. Selina says that there is a special place in hell for men like him.  Holly says, “Yes, the 9th ring.” The drug will pay him back in kind, but it won’t kill him. She’ll never get Ethan back with Victor dead. Selina agreed to help her.

Once Felicia departs, Holly tells Robert she’s sorry that this must be goodbye. She notes this isn’t their moment, and he laughs, “It never is.” Before he can let her go, he asks for the necklace. She laughs, and hands it over. Holly tells Robert to be careful and blows him a kiss as she walks away.

Back at the cabin, Jordan tells Mac that it appears a faulty stove had caused the explosion. Mac is handed the remains of Robert’s briefcase, but there is no necklace to be found. He tells Jordan that the fire was so hot it could have destroyed the necklace.  Jordan says that the WSB is not going to be happy with the news.

At Portia and Curtis’ place, Marshall sits outside cleaning his clarinet when Trina tries to sneak out. He expected boredom to drive her out sooner or later. She admits she has cabin fever and needs room to breathe.

Inside, Portia and Curtis talk about the holiday. Curtis plans to make the most of his time with his father in case his disease returns. He asks what the chances are of that happening. Portia says she is not a psychiatrist and so she can not help Curtis in that regard. Curtis tells her Marshall claims he hasn’t had an episode since his arrest at the protest, and maybe he caught a break. 

Back outside, Curtis and Portia find Marshall with Trina. Curtis tells his dad the game is about to start if he wants to watch. Portia and Marshall head in, and Curtis offers Trina the last piece of the pie. She pushes it aside. Trina knows he posted Marshall outside, which Curtis admits he did, but only to watch out for Esme. She accepts the pie and cleans the plate.

Back inside, Portia hopes Marshall will play the clarinet for them tonight. She asks if his illness has ever affected his music. Marshall says it never did, just his ambitions. He wonders why all the questions. She says that genetic counseling wasn’t available back when he was diagnosed and he could get it now. Marshall says that it can not possibly tell him anything he doesn’t already know. 

In the kitchen of the Quartermaine mansion, Chase asks Brook Lynn if she had ever planned on telling him about the letter Dante asked her to write. She’s shocked Dante told him and explains she’s been so busy with his singing career she hasn’t had time to think about it. Chase wonders if she was ever planning on telling him or writing the letter. She swears she had every intention of writing the letter once they had taken Linc down. Chase grows angry and says that taking Linc down was never a certainty.

Brook Lynn says, “There is only one reason, us.” She cries and tells Chase that she’s never had anything like she has with him, and she didn’t think she was capable of finding it. However, he showed her that wasn’t the case. She says even if she never exposes Linc or gets her songs back, she’d be okay because they keep getting closer. She thought that given enough time he’d forget about the badge and simply want what they have together.

Chase admits that singing has been fun. However, he is not a singer. He explains she took away the choice for him to decide for himself what he wanted to do with his future. Brook Lynn understands and says she is fine with him “hanging up the mic.” Chase says, “Yes my singing career is over, but so are we.” She begs him to think about what he’s saying. Chase tells her that she kept him from the thing that makes him who he is. He says that they are over and leaves.

At The Savoy, Britt collides with Ava (at the bar drinking a martini) and orders herself a cosmopolitan. Cody shows up, as does Nikolas. Britt complains to Ava about how long it’s been since she had real “relationship sex.” 2014 was the last time and with her husband Nikolas, who approaches them and brags that he’s a “tough act to follow.”

Meanwhile, Liesl grabs Cody and drags him to another area of the club. Liesl tells Cody that Britt doesn’t have the time or energy for romantic distractions. She offers him money to stay away from Britt.  Cody says that he doesn’t want her money.

Cody says he originally wanted the necklace, but then he wanted Britt. He thought he could have both, but now he’s lost them both. He tells Liesl not to worry, he knows where he is not wanted and that he will not be bothering Britt anymore. Cody does ask Liesl to tell him what is wrong with Britt. Liesl tells him that answers were never part of the offer.

Selina finds Victor drinking by himself and joins him. Victor gets a text from Gavin that he’s at the location and trying to get the necklace. Victor texts Gavin and tells him that the necklace is key and that Holly is expendable. Victor and Selina discuss their recent family holiday.

Back at the bar, Britt orders another round for her, Ava and Nikolas. Britt suggests Nikolas be her wingman tonight.  Britt suddenly becomes woozy and can’t stand. She is caught by Victor and Selina who rush over to help.

Selina asks if Britt has been overserved. Britt says that she has only had one drink but becomes unstable again. Victor helps her to a table. Selina follows, and Britt continues to yell at them to get away from her as she can handle her alcohol. Victor soon realizes that Britt is sick and tells her that this has nothing to do with alcohol. Britt screams, “Don’t say that!”  Liesl appears and slaps Victor, and Cody forcibly moves Victor to another area of the club. Selina meanwhile recalls sending Victor a drink earlier containing the drug Holly had given her.

Later, Liesl tells Britt they should go home. She helps her daughter walk out of the club as Cody watches.

Elsewhere, Ava fills Nikolas in on Mac and Kevin believing she can convince Ryan to help them find Esme. Nikolas is understandably upset, and makes it seem he fears for Ava’s safety.

Alone, Victor finishes his drugged drink. He gets a text from Gavin that Holly is disabled and the necklace is missing. Victor smashes the empty glass that had contained his drink. He has consumed every last drop.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Allie sits with Chanel in the interrogation room. Allie tells her that she misses her so much. Chanel points out that at least they got to have Thanksgiving together. Allie says it wasn’t enough as she started missing her as soon as it was over. Allie asks if she’s okay or if she picked a bad time to come. Chanel says there is never a bad time to see her. Allie asks what it is. Chanel responds that it’s just that when she went back to her cell on Thanksgiving, she felt like she’s never getting out.

Paulina is in her office, on the phone saying that all interview requests go to her assistant even if she doesn’t have one anymore. Paulina hangs up as Abe arrives. She says it’s good to see a friendly face. Abe mentions the press are hounding. Paulina complains that she tried to talk policy but all they want to ask about is Chanel. Abe says he’s so sorry. Paulina says that Chanel is all she thinks about but she has had an epiphany about the one way to help Chanel out of this situation. Abe asks if he can help as he’ll do whatever she needs. Paulina is glad because Abe is the only one who can do it which he questions. Paulina declares that it’s simple; she wants Abe to fire Melinda Trask.

Belle confronts Melinda outside of the Brady Pub and complains that she is holding her client without an arraignment or bail hearing and calls it outrageous and unethical. Belle declares that Melinda is not going to get away with it anymore.

Kate goes to Jada’s room. Kate says she knows it’s early to be talking about morning sickness but she wants her to be prepared. Kate brings her some tea that worked for her in all of her pregnancies. Jada calls that very kind of her but responds that she’s not planning on having any morning sickness. Kate insists, so Jada explains that she’s not going to have morning sickness because she’s not going to have a baby. Jada then reveals that she ended her pregnancy.

Eric questions what Nicole said to Jada. Eric demands the truth as he questions if Nicole encouraged Jada to have an abortion. Nicole can’t believe he’s asking that. Eric orders her to answer the question as he asks if Nicole pushed Jada to terminate the pregnancy. Nicole asks if that’s what that bitch told him. Eric tells her to stop trying to make Jada the bad guy. Eric says Jada isn’t accusing her and he’s asking her a question. Nicole argues that Jada is lying about whatever they talked about. Eric says that Nicole questioned why Jada would want to have a baby that would tie her to him forever. Nicole calls that an honest question. Nicole then asks if Jada is suggesting she told her to get an abortion and that Eric believed it. Nicole declares she’s going to settle this and clear things up. Eric stops her and says there’s no point. Nicole argues that she’s not going to let Jada go around telling lies about her. Eric then informs Nicole that it’s too late because Jada had an abortion and the baby is gone.

Kate questions Jada ending her pregnancy. Jada explains that she and Eric were planning to have the baby but she changed her mind. Kate understands if that’s what she wanted to do and says there’s no judgment, she’s just surprised since Jada seemed set at Thanksgiving. Kate asks what happened. Jada responds that the more she thought about it, she was going to be alone and raising the child as a single mother half the time with a full time job and it would be too difficult for her. Jada adds it also meant being tied to Eric.

Abe asks if Paulina is joking about expecting him to fire Melinda Trask so she can’t prosecute Chanel. Paulina says she is dead serious and argues that Sloan is harnessing Melinda’s hatred for her and using it against Chanel. Paulina argues that she can’t do anything about Sloan but a pink slip from Abe would end the threat from Melinda for good. Paulina asks if Abe can make that happen. Abe responds that he’s sorry, but he can’t fire Melinda.

Melinda calls Belle a bit over the top and suggests she tone it down in the court room. Belle argues that Melinda has been holding Chanel in limbo. Melinda says she’s awaiting trial and the court room is a little backed up right now. Belle argues that Chanel has a right to a fair and speedy trial and this alleged crime didn’t even happen in this country. Melinda says she has been working closely with their government and complains about Chanel keeping this cover up going. Belle accuses Melinda of just using this to feast on the publicity of prosecuting the Governor’s daughter. Melinda argues that a woman is dead and the Governor elect might be involved. Melinda asks if Belle just tracked her down to whine about it and then says she’s late for lunch. Belle then stands in her way.

Allie wants to do more for Chanel and assures her that she won’t be there forever. Chanel argues that she doesn’t know that. Allie assures that they will do everything they can to get her out of this. Shawn enters and announces that Chanel has another visitor. Sloan arrives and Allie questions what she is doing here. Allie questions her being allowed in here. Shawn says it’s up to Chanel. Allie suggests Chanel tell her to go because she doesn’t owe her anything but Chanel agrees to hear what Sloan has to say, so Shawn exits. Sloan remarks that Chanel slept with her father and murdered her mother but they’ve never been formally introduced. Sloan then introduces herself to Chanel as her worst nightmare. Allie argues that Chanel didn’t murder anybody and what happened was an accident. Sloan disagrees. Allie says she knows the full story and that Sloan’s mother fell so she can just leave her alone. Sloan argues that she and Chanel know the real truth about what happened. Chanel asks why she is here. Sloan responds that she needed to see if Chanel would lie to her face about what happened that night. Chanel responds that she’s sorry for her loss and she would give anything to take back what happened, but it’s way more complicated than she thinks. Sloan mentions reading the initial police report that Chanel told authorities that night that it was her fault, but then claimed it was an accident. Chanel argues that her words were misinterpreted. Sloan brings up Paulina sure working hard to cover it up. Sloan says her mother would have fought for her like that too until Chanel took her away.

Paulina argues that Abe does the hiring and firing of the district attorney. Abe admits that technically he can, but questions who he would replace Melinda with. Paulina suggests Belle. Abe questions wanting to rig Chanel’s case by hiring her own lawyer to prosecute her. Paulina admits that sounds bad and suggests finding someone else. Paulina just wants him to get rid of Melinda before she can do any more to hurt Chanel.

Melinda asks Belle to move out of her way. Belle tells her that her lunch is going to have to wait. Melinda doesn’t know what she expects as she has said everything she has to say. Belle asks if this is really the hill she wants to die on by punishing a young woman for an accident that happened years ago in another country. Melinda says the British government has asked them to make sure Chanel doesn’t leave the country. Belle accuses Melinda of purposely postponing the court date. Melinda remarks that it looks like Belle figured out but there’s not much she can do about it. Belle then presents Melinda with a folder.

Kate asks if Jada is alright. Jada claims she’s fine. Kate says it’s okay not to be. Jada responds that she won’t cry over Eric or her decision as she’s convinced it’s what she needed to do. Kate asks if Eric tried to stop her from terminating the pregnancy. Jada admits she didn’t give him the chance and just told him after it already happened. Kate asks how Eric reacted.

Nicole questions if Eric thinks Jada’s abortion is her fault. Eric accuses Nicole of confronting Jada. Nicole claims she just talked to her and that’s all and she didn’t talk to her about doing this. Nicole adds that Jada didn’t even mention considering it. Eric suggests that Jada wasn’t considering it until after their conversation. Nicole argues that abortion wasn’t part of the conversation and they didn’t even discuss it as a possibility. Nicole asks if he tried talking her out of it. Eric reveals that she had already done it by the time she told him, so she never consulted him and Nicole was the last person she talked to before making the decision. Nicole swears that she did not put that in her head. Eric angrily questions why she even spoke to her when this pregnancy was none of her damn business.

Belle’s folder to Melinda reveals Melinda is being ordered to appear in court to justify her reasons for holding Chanel indefinitely. Belle adds that will be in front of an impartial judge because Chanel has constitutional rights, so Melinda has to explain why she took them all away. Melinda remarks that Belle thinks she’s so smart. Belle argues that she’s doing what is right for her client and declares that Chanel will make bail today. Belle then sarcastically offers Melinda a ride to the courthouse.

Chanel tells Sloan that she would give anything for her mother to be alive because she didn’t deserve what happened to her. Sloan asks which part since her assault on her didn’t start on the roof, but the first day that Chanel hooked up with her father. Sloan asks if Chanel even cared that he was married. Chanel says she did, but he didn’t seem to, so she tried to put it out of her head. Chanel states that she was really young and it just happened. Sloan argues that Chanel made it happen. Allie disagrees, pointing out that Sloan’s father was the adult in the situation. Sloan warns Allie to stay out of this. Chanel insists that he pursued her. Sloan mocks her being innocent and argues that Chanel wasn’t a child. Chanel says she was in college and she’s not proud of the affair, but he was the married one. Sloan questions why she kept doing it if she knew it was wrong. Chanel admits she doesn’t know. Sloan continues to question her and tells her not to play innocent like she didn’t want it. Allie yells at Sloan to stop it and leave her alone.

Nicole questions if Eric is really asking how this is any of her business. Nicole argues that they are together and this isn’t some minor issue. Nicole brings up how she felt when she showed up on Thanksgiving and heard Eric announce that he and Jada were going to raise the baby together while he told her after, so she was the last to know. Eric argues that he didn’t know she already knew and accuses her of spying on them on Thanksgiving. Nicole argues that she came to see him and didn’t expect to see them celebrating that Jada was having his baby. Nicole complains they didn’t look like a couple that had broken up, but like a couple getting back together, so she wanted to find out what was going on. Eric questions her not coming to him with that. Nicole asks if he really wants to do this. Nicole brings up Eric happening to run in to her in the town square that night and that’s when he told her that Jada was keeping the baby. Nicole questions when Eric would have told her if she hadn’t been there.

Jada tells Kate that Eric was surprised as he wanted to be part of the decision. Kate questions why he wasn’t. Jada admits she was afraid that Eric was going to talk her out of it and it’s a lot cleaner this way. Kate is very sorry that she had to go through it alone. Jada responds that she’s used to being on her own. Kate asks if she talked to anyone else before making the choice. Jada reveals that she did talk to one person, but it’s the last person she would consider a friend.

Eric tells Nicole that the decision to have the baby was between Jada and him. Nicole complains that they included everyone at the Thanksgiving table, just not her. Eric argues that it just happened. Nicole admits that she thought she was losing him, so she wanted to find out what Jada’s intentions were and asked if she was ready for the baby to be tied to her and Eric forever, even though he was with her. Eric asks if that’s all she said or asked of her. Nicole admits she talked to Jada about what it’s like to be a single parent and she didn’t sugarcoat it. Nicole claims she didn’t do it to scare her off. Eric says that Jada said Nicole gave her a friendly reminder that she isn’t going anywhere. Nicole asks if that’s not true and says she was just being honest. Eric argues that Nicole isn’t being honest now by saying that she said all this in innocence to a woman who was conflicted about having the baby. Nicole argues that she didn’t know Jada was conflicted and that she’s not pretending anything. Eric says that Nicole obviously knew her words could sway Jada’s decision in getting rid of the child. Eric guesses that Nicole got exactly what she wanted.

Kate hopes Nicole didn’t pressure Jada in to getting an abortion. Jada says she didn’t, but Nicole did paint a pretty harsh picture of what being a single mother would be like. Kate guesses that helped make her decision. Jada says it helped her to re-evaluate the pros and cons. Jada mentions having friends that say having a child is the best thing to ever happen to them and one day she would love to be a mother, just not like this and not now.

Nicole questions Eric actually thinking that she went to talk to Jada to scare her in to having an abortion. Eric asks what else he’s supposed to think when she was the last one to talk to her before she made the decision. Eric shouts that actions have consequences but Nicole never learns. Nicole asks what that means. Eric argues that over and over, Nicole acts compulsively without thinking. Nicole asks if he’s talking about her jumping in to bed with Xander. Eric questions her even bringing him up. Nicole thinks Eric assumes she pushed Jada to her choice because deep down, he still doesn’t trust her. Nicole complains that she’ll never be good enough for him. Eric tells her to stop with the self pity. Nicole argues that she’s feeling guilty. Nicole then admits that she was feeling threatened by Jada and was hoping that she wouldn’t keep the baby. Nicole declares that she said it and asks if Eric is satisfied now.

Abe tells Paulina that he would do anything for her and Chanel. Paulina tells him to fire Melinda then. Abe responds that he would do it if he thought it would make things better for Chanel. Paulina argues that Melinda would send Chanel to prison for life if they let her and she can’t let that happen. Abe promises they won’t, but if he fired Melinda, the press would be all over it and her and the city council would impeach him. Abe adds that politicians have been sent to prison for less. Abe worries that trying to help Chanel in this way would put them in a cell right next to her.

Sloan remarks that maybe if Chanel figured out she liked girls sooner, her mother would still be alive. Chanel asks what she wants her to say since she’s already admitted that she shouldn’t have had the affair, but that doesn’t change the fact that Sloan’s father had all the power in their relationship. Chanel adds that all of Sloan’s anger and bitterness isn’t going to change that. Sloan brings up finding out that her mother’s suicide was a murder. Chanel is sorry that she had to find out how she did. Sloan asks if she ever thought about her and her brother when she moved on her with her life. Allie tells Sloan to leave her alone but Sloan demands an answer as she asks if Chanel ever thought what it felt like for them to watch their father drink himself to death because he was holding onto this secret that he didn’t reveal to them until he was on his deathbed. Chanel repeats that she’s sorry. Sloan says she heard her the first time and remarks that Chanel sure had enough power to destroy her life.

Paulina agrees with Abe that they can’t fire Melinda but says they can’t just let them roll over Chanel. Abe tells her to trust and believe that he will fight for Chanel every step of the way and he will not stop fighting for her daughter. Abe adds that Belle won’t either and she’s the smartest lawyer he knows. Abe declares that if anyone can outfox Melinda, it’s Belle.

Belle goes to the police station and tells Shawn that she needs to speak to Chanel, so she asks him to bring her up. Shawn reveals that Chanel is already in the interrogation room, so Belle asks if she has visitors. Shawn confirms that Allie came to see her and then Sloan showed up. Belle questions Sloan being in there and Shawn leaving them alone. Shawn says that Chanel agreed to talk to her so his hands were tied. Shawn asks if there’s something going on. Belle says you could say that.

Allie decides that Sloan has said what she needed to say, so now it’s her turn. Sloan tells her that she doesn’t have a say but Allie disagrees. Allie says she can see Sloan’s pain and that it hurts, but Chanel has a life and a future. Allie says that Chanel has made mistakes but she’s worked to become a better person. Allie asks if this is even about Sloan’s mother anymore. Allie points out that when Sloan first got to town, she didn’t confront Chanel or ask for an apology, she wanted the money. Sloan argues that Allie doesn’t know her and says she is owed revenge. Shawn opens the door, so Allie hopes that means Sloan’s time is up because all she did was harass Chanel and try to make her feel more punished than she already is. Belle then enters the room and announces Chanel is going home as she made bail which thrills Chanel and Allie while angering Sloan.

Nicole tells Eric that she is being honest and she’s sorry that she went to Jada without him knowing, but she’s not sorry for wishing they could avoid a huge complication in getting back together. Eric brings up Nicole seeing him at Thanksgiving dinner and that he was happy. Eric states that part of that was because of getting back with her but part of that was because he was going to be a father. Eric says Nicole knows how much that means to him and he hoped it would mean something to her as well. Nicole says they were both so surprised by learning that Jada was pregnant and they had just decided to get back together. Eric talks about how they can’t always plan what’s going to happen in life, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t want it. Nicole then brings up that she couldn’t give Eric the baby he always wanted.

Jada tells Kate that someday she will have a child, but it’s too bad Eric won’t be the father because he would’ve been great. Jada admits that even though she’s mad at him, Eric is still a hell of a guy. Kate agrees and says she’s sorry she got hurt. Kate asks what’s next. Jada says she will focus on her job and figure out what she wants in life, then work on making that happen. Kate feels Jada will do just fine. Jada responds that she’s used to taking care of herself. Kate can relate but says it’s nice to have someone in your life too. Jada remarks that it was nice while it lasted.

Nicole asks Eric if he wasn’t going to say how grateful he was that Jada could give him a child of his own when she’s not able to. Eric questions her thinking he would say something so hurtful. Nicole argues that a few minutes ago, he was willing to think that she talked Jada in to ending her pregnancy and didn’t care about that hurting her. Nicole knows how much Eric wants to be a father, but he chose someone who can’t make that happen. Eric tells her that he was satisfied helping her raise Holly. Nicole argues that once he found out Jada’s news, he got so swept up that he forgot she even existed. Eric disagrees and insists that Nicole is part of this dream. Nicole questions that since he didn’t call her over to include her in the plan or even mention her in the big announcement. Nicole complains that he didn’t mention her at all, so she questions how the hell she could be part of his dream.

Allie and Chanel come out of the interrogation room where Abe and Paulina are waiting at the station. Chanel hugs Paulina, exclaiming that she made bail. Sloan watches on in disgust. Paulina says they heard as Belle called and told them to come right over. Abe tells Belle that he told her she could do it. Belle calls it a bit of a Hail Mary, but it worked. Allie says she’s so happy for Chanel while Paulina thanks Belle. Chanel asks how Belle did it. Belle explains that she had to force Melinda to appear in front of a judge and prove there was no case to hold her without bail. Abe praises Belle. Belle says they still have a long way to go. Paulina asks what to do now. Shawn responds that as soon as she pays the bail, Chanel is free to go. Paulina declares that Chanel needs to come home but Melinda arrives and says not so fast. Paulina tells Melinda to stay away from Chanel as they have had enough of her games. Abe declares that the judge has ruled. Melinda says she has but this isn’t about Chanel. Melinda then hands Shawn a piece of paper and tells him to do his duty which they all question. Melinda explains that Chanel has been granted bail but her murder charge is not the only crime stemming from this incident. Melinda brings up the cover up that followed, masterminded by Paulina. Shawn declares that he’s sorry to do this, but he arrests Paulina for criminal conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Shawn reads Paulina her rights as he handcuffs her, leaving Abe, Allie, and Chanel in shock while Sloan watches with a smile.

Kate knows Jada prides herself on being independent and not needing anyone, but she hopes they can remain friends because she really likes her. Jada says she feels the same about her. Kate feels it’s important and jokes that with her history, she could use a friend in the police department. Jada mentions hearing some stories about her. Kate says they are true but she shouldn’t believe them. Kate asks if there’s anything else she can get her. Jada thinks she just needs some rest. Kate tells her to call her. Jada says she just feels really tired right now. Kate thinks it’s all catching up with her. Jada says even though she knows she did what was right for her, it still doesn’t make it any easier. Jada then breaks down crying as Kate hugs her.

Eric apologizes to Nicole as he never meant to make her feel like she didn’t matter. Nicole says he can’t help it. Nicole feels that Jada ended her pregnancy without telling him, but he can’t be mad at Jada so he had to take it out on her because she’s an easy target. Nicole says after Xander and all the other mistakes she’s made, this is just one more way to disappoint him. Eric stops her and says this isn’t about them not being able to have a baby together. Eric says it’s about what she did by going to Jada which broke a trust that can’t be undone. Eric declares that they can’t go back because Jada’s baby is gone now and he has to find a way to live with that. Nicole asks if he means live without being a father or live with her role in it. Eric guesses it’s both. Nicole cries that he can’t just say something like that and walk away. Nicole asks what now and where they go from here. Eric responds that he doesn’t know and then exits the office. Nicole sits down and begins to cry.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 what? The volunteers aren’t here yet. Well, that makes sense, considering we are early. They’ll be here. Thank you for doing this. It’s no small task supervising the decorating of rice plaza. It’ll be fun. Besides, I should be thanking you. I know it was a leap of faith putting me in charge. I don’t exactly have the best rep these days. Are you ridiculous? No, you’re the perfect person for this job. I hope so. I know so. Well, if that’s the case, then get out of here. Oh, I will. I will. Go on. Start your day. Okay. But you’ll text me if there’s any issues, right? No, because there won’t be any issues. Okay. Well, I can hardly wait to see the finished product. Good luck. I think I’ll need it. Hey, fancy meeting you here. Chase! Hi. What are you up to? I’m decorating rice plaza. You want to help? Dante, hi. Thank you so much for coming over. Look, I am so, so sorry for the delay, but here you go. Voil. One highly anticipated letter to the civilian complaint review board. I was up all night writing it. Look, I know I could just e-mail it to them myself, but I thought it would be better if a cop delivered it, so… you are that cop, fyi. Hello?! You were the one who begged me to write it. Look, I explained all the circumstances that led to chase punching valentin and linc. And I was very persuasive, if I do say so myself. I took full responsibility for both incidents. Sounds like an awesome letter, brook lynn. He speaks. Unfortunately, it’s too late. Do you want to go upstairs, get some rest? No, no. The couch is fine. You need anything? Like a tea or… you can go back to work.

[ Softly ] Right. Well, I don’t want to leave you alone. Alone? [ Chuckles ] There is an estate with an entire staff right up the driveway.

[ Chuckles ] Michael, please. It really helps to know that you and wiley are keeping things as normal as possible. It helps me feel more normal, too. Okay. Fine. Yay. I’ll, um… take care of a few things, and I will be back soon. All right? I look forward to it. I don’t deserve you. Oh, no. You deserve the world. And I intend to give it to you.

[ Smooches ] Just lay back and close your eyes. Yes, sir. Okay. And he says he doesn’t hover. All right. I’m going.

[ Door closes ] That daddy of yours worries too much.

[ Breathes sharply, groans ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Good morning. Let’s try this again. Good morning. Morning. Sorry. Hi. Important assignment? It’s an application, actually. I’m changing my major. Really? To what? Pre-med. I want to become a doctor.

[ Knock on door ] Valentin: Your man outside just waved me through. I told him I was expecting you. How’s anna? Does she need anything from me? Uh, no. She wants to be left to her own devices for a while. If she needs anything, she’ll reach out. Why are you here? I have a business proposal for you. Like I would do business with you.

I have a 4.0, but I’m weak in sciences. Oh, I can’t imagine you’re weak in anything. No, it’s true. I only took bio my freshman year. Luckily, the application includes an essay where I can explain my reason for changing. That’s great. Are you gonna disclose that you treated a gunshot wound off the books? Yeah, I don’t think I can include that, actually.

[ Chuckles ] What prompted this? I mean, changing majors is a big deal. Not really. Communications was always just a placeholder until I figured out what I really wanted to do. And now I know. How do you know? What made you realize you wanted to study medicine? I hate feeling helpless. And that’s exactly how I felt when dex got shot. I believe this is yours. Thanks. So how did it end up outside the gatehouse? Must have dropped it. That’s pretty careless. Not your usual M.O. Yeah, well, it wasn’t a usual night. I’d just been shot. Shot doing what? Helping anna devane escape — on sonny’s orders. I, uh — I collaborated with you for anna’s sake because she’s more than a friend of mine and robin’s mother. And you’ll do anything for robin. And stone’s memory. I even worked with you. But that doesn’t make us allies. As a matter of fact, you… you threatened spencer when he was a kid. Yeah? Spencer was never in any real danger from me, sonny. Well, you say that now, but it didn’t look that way. Listen, I don’t know what… anna sees in you, but I do know that your first loyalty is always to yourself. I’m here as an intermediary with a business offer from a third party. And, yes, admittedly, there is something in it for me, but there is a hell of a lot more in it for you. The ccrb is already reviewing chase’s appeal. The meeting started 15 minutes ago. Okay, so take the letter over. You know, do your whole lights and sirens thing. Yeah, that’s not gonna work. Why won’t it work? You’re the one who begged me to write it. Yes. They needed this information last friday. No. Yeah. I’m sorry. You know what? I’ll go with you. I will talk to the review board myself. And I’m gonna make them see that they don’t have all the evidence, that I have pivotal information — which you didn’t hand over to them. Because I was unavoidably delayed. Okay. They’re not gonna let you into the meeting, but just say, for argument’s sake, that they would let you into the meeting, what’s the “unavoidable delay”? I don’t know. I’ll come up with something crazy convincing. What? Chase doesn’t want that. You and I both know the last thing he wants is for you to save his badge with a lie. Sasha: The metro court is sponsoring this year’s community decoration project, so nina asked if I would oversee the actual decorating. And, clearly, you accepted. That’s really generous of you. Honestly, I’m just happy to have something to focus on. I pitch in where I can at deception, but after all the pr that I generated last year — and not in a good way — there is only a limited amount that I can do. And who doesn’t love decking the halls? Right?

[ Chuckles ] Are you really supposed to do this all on your own? Uh, volunteers should be arriving soon. Fingers crossed they actually show up. Well, one of them’s already here, so, uh, put me to work. Yeah? Absolutely. ‘Cause I was just teasing before. No, you’d be doing me a favor. Trust me. Need something to focus on, too? Actually, I do. Yeah? Is everything okay? Uh, brook lynn and i broke up.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Knocking continues ] Nina. Hi. I am so — did I — did I wake you? I was just resting my eyes. What — what can I do for you? I know it’s — it’s pretty bizarre that I’m here right now, but I was wondering — can i come in just for a few minutes? Wiley’s at school, so if this is an attempt to accidentally run into him — no, no, no, it’s — it’s not. I actually chose this time because I knew wiley wouldn’t be home. I — the last thing I want is for wiley to look at me and be confused. Thank you. If you are not here about my son, then why? Well… I was hoping that you might want to help out a friend. Are you familiar with the pikeman security group? Yeah, I’ve heard of them. They do munitions and mercenary operations. Yeah, that’s exactly right. Right. Well, pikeman is interested in moving certain… classified merchandise through port charles without the interference of government or law enforcement. They feel that your organization’s facilities would be ideal for their purposes. Well, I hear what pikeman gets out of the deal. What — what do i get out of it? Money. A lot of it. For every successful shipment, pikeman is willing to pay you $10 million. There was a last-minute change. An inmate from d’archam was added to the transport. And that inmate had a guard of their own. I was made when he realized I wasn’t headed for pentonville. He drew his gun. We struggled. I got shot, and the van crashed. And anna? She managed to get away. Fortunately, my wound wasn’t too bad. How did you end up at the gatehouse? I was on foot, bleeding. I was actually looking for you. I thought you might be able to get me medical attention or, at the very least, a ride home. But I wasn’t there. No. But, uh, josslyn was. I did what I could to help dex. Joss, you did a hell of a lot more than most people would or could have done. Mom, if you hadn’t shown up and figured out a way to get him antibiotics, then who knows what would have happened? You would have had two choices. Yeah. Take him to the hospital, where he probably would have been arrested, or wait it out, and he might be dead. Look, I never want to be put in that position again. Okay? If someone in front of me is sick or hurt or in need of help at all, I need to be able to help them. So I need those skills and that training to be able to treat them. I get that. But I want you to be honest with yourself. Is that the real reason you want to be a doctor? What other reason is there? Your feelings for dex.

Why didn’t you just write the letter when I asked you the first time or the, you know — I don’t know, the eighth time? Because I was selfish. Mm. Shocked, right? I wanted my cake and to eat it, too. Which, by the way, is the dumbest expression ever. Who has cake and doesn’t want to eat it? Well, I think it just means you can’t have everything. No, I get it. Now, of course, when it’s too late. But I did. I wanted it all, you know — revenge on linc, make chase a star, keep us together. You and chase? Yeah. I was so scared that if he went back to being a cop, it would mess with my first two objectives, you know? I don’t know. I guess I just wanted the music and me to matter more. I wanted to keep chase in this world that we were making. Not doing police work. So you stalled on the letter? And now he knows. Now it’s over. I lost him. If you don’t want to talk about it, I completely understand. God knows I’ve had my fair share of people nosing into my business lately. But if you do want to talk, I’m here to listen. Well, the details are incredibly convoluted because, well…brook lynn. Got it. But the underlying issue is really simple — brook lynn and I have different priorities. Okay. How different? Well, hers was making me a pop star, while all I wanted to do was get my badge back. And it turns out she could have helped me with that. Brook lynn could have helped you get back on the force? Yeah. And chose not to. The hotel is sponsoring the community decoration project, and I actually pinned sasha to oversee the decorating. I’m sure she’ll do a great job. Yeah, she’s gonna be great. She’s at rice plaza right now as we speak, you know, with a crew of volunteers. And if I know sasha, she’s probably trying to do all the work herself. She could really use, you know, some helping hands. Isn’t that what the volunteers are for? No, I mean helping hands that belong to a friend. Would you be willing to pitch in, willow? This isn’t a great day for me. I apologize for it being so last-minute, but this is a bigger project than we thought. And, you know, I’m sure that sasha would be grateful for your help. It’s not that I don’t want to help. And this — you know, she’s had a really tough time this year, as you know. With christmas around the corner, it’s such a triggering time, she really needs her friends to rally around her, willow. Okay. It’s safe to say that most of your interactions with dex have been under highly stressful circumstances. Right? Right. Okay. When emotions are running high like that, it’s easy to get confused. So, what, you — you don’t want me to go into medicine? No, that’s not what I’m saying. Honey, sit down. Joss, pre-med is really hard, and it’s a lot of time that you could be spending doing other things with other people. And don’t get me wrong. Being a doctor is amazing. But I think it’s really important for you to be clear on your why and your motivation. Mm-hmm. Is dex a factor in your decision? I am not switching to pre-med to be dex’s on-call doctor, if that’s what you’re implying. I just want you to be truthful with yourself, that’s all. I don’t know what that means, mom. Do you want to become a doctor because it’s safer than admitting you have feelings for dex? We’ve been over this. I know. You want josslyn nowhere near our plans to take sonny down, but she insisted on helping me.

[ Sighs ] It makes sense now. What does? I knew josslyn was acting strange that night, but I was distracted, so I didn’t — I didn’t press her on it. She helped patch me up. I was actually in the gatehouse when you and willow got home, but I managed to slip out.I understand how it played out. Okay? And I’m not faulting you. I just — I still… I don’t like it. You’re definitely not gonna like what happened next. You know, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. This isn’t a something- for-nothing situation, sonny. The risks are significant. The reward should be substantial. Well, before I even consider the offer, what’s in it for you? I’ve worked for pikeman on several occasions as a logistics contractor. Um, it was their idea to use me as an intermediary. That’s not what I asked. I’d be doing them a favor, hoping that they return it. What’s the favor? It has nothing to do with you or your organization.

[ Laughs ] You have my word. Well, your word don’t mean that much to me at this point, so… well, that’s fair enough. All right. You either believe me, or you don’T. But pikeman wanted me to bring you this offer. And here I am. They want to do business with you. And in my opinion, it’s in your best interest that you agree.

The situation with dex definitely shifted my perspective. It not only showed me that I wanted a change, but it showed me what that change was. To change your major and study medicine? So I can eventually practice medicine. This is a decision I’m making for my future. And I’m sorry, but I think parents are usually pretty excited when their kid comes to them and says that they want to be a doctor. And I will support you 1,000%, but I’m your mother. It’s my job to offer you advice. Fine. If you do have feelings for dex, there are two things you need to consider — he works for sonny. And he’s already been shot. And the odds are good he’s gonna have more violence in his life. You grew up in sonny’s world. You know what that life costs. You’re right. I do. I saw so much heartache during my years with sonny. Selfishly, I don’t want that for you, joss. Mom. You are getting way too ahead of yourself, all right? Dex and I are not there. We’re not even close. You’re not there yet. Okay. I’m not gonna lie to you. I do feel something for dex. I have yet to define what it is. I don’t even know if it will last. Half the things I know about him, I don’t like. The things I do like are… significant. But that is not the reason why I’m gonna change my whole life. I know that I can become a doctor. I know that I am smart enough, I’m hardworking enough, and I-I will do what it takes. I will put in that time and that dedication so that I never have to feel helpless the way I did with ava.

Dex saved ava’s life. Not me. And, you know, I didn’t even think about it until this very moment, but if ava had died because I didn’t know what to do… …I couldn’t put that down. So I’m doing this so that I know what to do. And, yeah, dex is a part of that. Because he did. Somehow josslyn managed to get me back to her dorm room. How, I’m not really sure, since I don’t remember any of it. By then, I was spiking a fever. Okay, look. It’s not that I don’t care about your health, okay? I do. But you do understand how concerning this is, right? I mean, were you delirious? I was pretty out of it. But I don’t think I said anything compromising to josslyn. You just said you don’t remember even getting to her dorm. How can you be sure? Well, she would have called me on it. Don’t you think? Your sister’s not one to shy away from asking questions. No, no, she’s — she’s not. Did she ask you anything about it? About us working together? No. Okay. Further proof that I didn’t slip up. I mean, she — she would have been all over me if she was suspicious. Okay. Okay. We — we dodged a bullet on that one. But it doesn’t change the fact that you committed a crime by helping anna escape. And now josslyn… look, if you go down, josslyn could go down with you. Tell me if I have this right. You thought sasha needed to be busy over the holidays. So you took over the community decoration project and nominated her to run it with no input from sasha? Well, I thought it’d be nice for her to do something for someone else. And it seems like I’m right. Does it? Yeah, it does. I mean, I just left her at rice plaza, and she was upbeat, she was energetic. And yet your first stop was to see me. If sasha’s doing so great, why does she need her friends to rally? You are spinning your own narrative, like you always do, with zero consideration for anyone else. Pick a lane, nina. Is this project good for sasha or not?

[ Sighs ] God forbid there be any shades of gray. I came here because you’re her friend, willow. Oh, clearly, it was a mistake. You think? Geez! I was so foolish into thinking that you could put our differences aside to help a friend. And there goes that narrative of yours again. You know, other people might buy your goody-two-shoes image, but not me. Willow tait, you’re as selfish as they come. Would brook lynn’s letter have made an impact on the review board’s decision? I don’t know. I mean, but the point is, she didn’t even try. And that really upsets you? Yeah, it upsets me. I thought brook lynn knew how much my badge means —

meant to me. I mean, I only told her every five seconds. But she just didn’t understand, or she didn’t care. Well, I highly doubt the latter is true. Maybe… what? Maybe brook lynn thought that she knew what you needed better than you did. Now, I’m not saying that she was right, but neither were we. We? When we decided that we knew what michael and willow needed. You know, in our minds, we were doing the right thing — taking ourselves out of the equation so that they could win custody of wiley. We were convinced that we were doing everything for the greater good, right? Maybe brook lynn thought that she was, too.

Her greater good, maybe. What if brook lynn sincerely thought that you would be better off as a singer? What if in her heart she was doing it for the both of you? I’m sorry, brook lynn. No, you’re not. Yes, I am. You never thought I was good enough for chase. Yes, I did, actually. I actually thought you were very good for chase. Really? Yeah. Yeah. Instead of him moping around about losing his badge, you — you lit a fire under him, and he started engaging in things again. Like, you know. And then you two started going out together, and forget about it. I mean, I hadn’t seen him that happy since he split with willow. You really think chase was happy? Yeah, I do. Why wouldn’t he be? Look at you. You’re smart. You’re fun. You’re creative. Very generous description. Okay. I’m being serious. You could actually do some good if you get out of your own way. Oh, why is that so hard for me sometimes? It’s like I just had tunnel vision. Like I… I couldn’t or wouldn’t see that what made chase truly happy is being a cop.

[ Sighs ] Are you sure there’s no way to fix this? Not unless you got connections with the ccrb. But I don’t think you should use them even if you did. Chase wouldn’t want you to do that either.

[ Sighs ] I’ll see you soon, all right? Yeah, I’ll see you soon. This better not be “take the deal or else,” because that usually doesn’t turn out well. Oh, no. I-I’m just the messenger, sonny. I-I’m not threatening anyone. If you don’t want to do business with pikeman, they’ll just go to another guy. Okay, well, that seems like the best thing to do, right? Another guy, a different city, so… no, no, no. See, that’s the thing. Not another city. This is the city. Port charles is a shipping hub with access to both atlantic and canadian sea lanes. Pikeman’s gonna be moving their merchandise through port charles no matter what. And, unfortunately, now that you know the plan, you don’t want to cooperate, well, then… that makes you a problem. A problem they’re gonna want to remove.

I am so proud that you’ve decided to become a doctor. Gosh, I did not have that kind of clarity when I was your age. I wasted so much time chasing after what I thought I wanted, and I couldn’t see what was right in front of me. For instance, I couldn’t see that I was in love with jason… mom! …Until it was too late. Oh, my god. Okay. Y-you’re going way too far with this, all right? I’m not in love with anyone. Mm. Well… where’s cameron in all this? I do love cameron. I mean, we grew up together. But things are not how they used to be, mom. And I don’t know why or when it happened. But your feelings have changed? Yes. And this is not about dex. Okay. This is about me. Something’s shifted. And I do care so much for cam. I really do. But… we don’t have that same connection that we used to have anymore, and I don’t feel like half of a couple, if that makes sense. It does. Have you shared any of this with cameron? No. I cannot stand the thought of hurting him. I know… because you’re kind and you’re sweet and you’re amazing. But the longer you wait, the harder it’s gonna be for cameron. Yeah, I know.

[ Sighs ] This isn’t gonna be easy. Breaking up with my best friend? Yeah, it’s gonna be brutal. And prepare yourself — you’re probably gonna be labeled a bad guy. And part of that’s my fault. Why? Why is that your fault? ‘Cause people are gonna say, “like mother, like daughter.” Well, screw those people.

[ Laughs ] Okay. Well, I agree. But it will be easier to withstand the criticism if you know in your heart you were honest with yourself and cameron. Yeah. All right. Well… I’m gonna go change. Going for a run? How’d you know? Because you say it always helps you think. Well, let’s hope today is no exception. You’re lucky your fever broke. You obviously had an infection. I was more than lucky. Josslyn managed to get me antibiotics — with carly’s help. Oh, my mom’s involved in this now? Look, they just know that I was shot, okay? They don’t know how. But I’m — I’m guessing with the timing of everything and the fact that they know I work for sonny… yeah, I’m sure they assume that you helped anna escape. Okay, but that’s fine, right? As long as they don’t suspect that I’m working for you. None of this is fine, dex! Yes, I want to dismantle sonny’s life, but not at the cost of my mom and sister. Look, their involvement was a one-time thing. Maybe for my mom. But you and I both know that josslyn is an issue. Look, I need you to hear me when I tell you — I’d rather blow this whole operation up than put my sister at risk. You need to find a way to keep her at arm’s length. Do you understand? I understand. All right.

[ Door opens, closes ] “As you can see, both incidents were entirely my fault. Detective chase acted in my defense because he embodies all the qualities you should want in a police officer.” “He is protective, courageous, and above all, he is compassionate. Chase is committed to his badge and to his duty and deserves to be reinstated. The city of port charles will only be [Voice breaking] The better for it.”

[ Sighs ] No. There has to be a way out of this. There has to be. You have a point. Playing god with someone else’s life, no matter how good your intentions, it’s not fair to them. I mean, can you say “karma”? God, I am in a guardianship, which by definition means that I have no control over my life. Meanwhile, brook lynn made decisions for you that had a direct impact on your future. So it’s payback time? Seems a little ironic, no? Does that mean you think I shouldn’t judge brook lynn? That I’m a hypocrite if I do? I am simply pointing out that we’ve all made mistakes. Hey, chase, sasha. Hey. Have you heard back from the review board about my case? I mean, can’t you see everything that you have in comparison with everything that sasha has lost? She lost liam. She lost brando. She’s had nervous breakdowns multiple times. She’s under a guardianship now. But — but you… you have a perfect life. You just graduated nursing school with flying colors. You get to take days off whenever you want to “rest your eyes.” You live on this beautiful estate in michael’s family’s house with the man that you love and a son that you adore, and you have a baby on the way. Your life is perfect, but you can’t be bothered to show even one ounce of compassion to the woman that you claim is… shut up!! Shut up! Shut…up!

The review board met this morning. I wasn’t there. I’d already said my piece. I made the best case I could for you to get reinstated. Thanks. I appreciate it. Yeah. Look, man, everyone’s pulling for you. Look, I know it’s a long shot, and it probably won’t go my way, but I still can’t help but hope. Chase has been burning off nervous energy by helping me decorate.

[ Chuckles ] You want to join? Uh, yeah, yeah. I can throw up a wreath or two before I go to work. Awesome. I’ll be right back. All right. Wait. Did you volunteer here or something? No, I just kind of happened upon sasha and offered to pitch in. Ah. Of course you did.

[ Cellphone beeps ] It’s final. The review board turned down my appeal. Oh, man, I’m sorry. I’m not a cop anymore. And never will be again. Oh, I’m so glad you answered. It’s brook lynn. Yes, that brook lynn. I made a mess. I got to fix it. And I can’t do it alone.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Breathes deeply ] Are you threatening to remove me? I’m not threatening anyone. I know these people. And I know how they operate. Sonny, you’ve been in power a long time, and they’re satisfied that you can achieve their objectives efficiently. Yeah. And if I refuse? Well, they’ll go with someone else, and you’ll be reclassified a liability. So you can either make a boatload of money, or you can make a whole new set of very powerful enemies and lose everything. Ball’s in your court. But however you choose, you better choose quickly… ’cause these folks are not known for their patience.

[ Door closes ] Brick. Listen, I need you to get as much information you can on pikeman security group. Yeah. You got to get it to me as soon as you can. How dare you? This isn’t about sasha. This is about you. That is not true. Just like everything is always about you. Not true. Sasha was just the latest excuse for you to try to get closer to me to scheme your way back into wiley’s orbit.

[ Laughs ] Which, after the lies you spread, is just ludicrous! I didn’t spread any lies. Oh, really? So you didn’t tell michael that tj and I were having an affair when nothing could be further from the truth? Okay, i did do that. But that was a mistake. I said I was sorry. And if you remember correctly, you told me to drop dead. Yeah, that’s right. Because nothing else gets through to you. You do not listen. You do not stop. You just keep pushing and pushing. Go away, nina! Leave my family the hell alone! Oh, my god.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: Hi.

Sally: Hi. I’m not sure why you came over here, but I really do not want a replay of our last encounter.

Adam: Oh, it’s not going to happen. I promise. This time I’m completely sober.

Sally: Well, that’s good to know.

Adam: Did you have a good thanksgiving? Or was it 4th of july that you celebrated? I know you don’t like to celebrate holidays on their actual day.

Sally: Actually, that was our tradition. So, I celebrated in my own traditional way with takeout and an old movie. What about you? Did you break bread with victor at the ranch, or were you nursing your hangover?

Adam: Ouch. I guess I deserve that. I actually had a quiet meal with chelsea and connor.

Sally: Sounds nice.

Adam: It was.

Sally: I-I really should get back to whatever I was doing. So…

Adam: Can I join you for a minute?

Sally: I am actually expecting someone.

Adam: You’re waiting for nick. In that case, I’ll keep it short. I just — I wanted to apologize. I had no business coming to your suite the other night and confronting you like that. Anger and heartache and booze are a dangerous combination. Can you forgive me?

Nick: You wanted to see me?

Victoria: Yes. So, nate and I, we had a conversation about the career advice that you offered him.

Nick: Okay.

Victoria: You told him to watch his back because you don’t trust him.

Nick: That’s an oversimplification.

Victoria: In what way?

Nick: I think you are misreading the tone and the intent with which the advice was offered.

Victoria: I’m not going to get into semantics with you. You had no right to undermine my new ceo that way.

Elena: Hey.

Nate: Hey. You look fantastic.

Elena: Thank you.

Nate: Where are you off to?

Elena: I have a meeting with lily to talk about the details of my medical podcast.

Nate: Ahh. I’m sure you’re going to kill it.

Elena: I have to admit I am a little nervous.

Nate: Nervous? You’re a pro, and you already have the job. What is there to be nervous about?

Elena: Don’t take this the wrong way, but I am wondering if there’s any residual resentments with lily because of how she feels about you.

Nate: They’re definitely still angry at me. Devon could barely make eye contact with me when we saw him at society on thanksgiving. But I don’t see my family taking any of this out on you. You’re the one who convinced me to come clean. They should be thanking you.

Elena: Well, I’m certainly not expecting that. And I am not so sure that things are good between us. I’ve picked up on some judgment from devon the last few times I ran into him. I guess I’m just guilty by association to your cousins.

Nate: Well, in that case, I have the perfect solution. Come back to newman media. Do your podcast with us.

Lily: Hi.

Billy: Looks like we both need a little jolt after our disagreement earlier.

Lily: Yeah, well, you accused me of having a savior complex.

Billy: After you accused me of having one.

Lily: I still think that my take was more correct, because, I mean, here you are, checking up on chelsea again. Are you worried that chloe is going to take your place as her go-to confidant?

Billy: Actually, no. I’m just grabbing a coffee. I have not talked to chelsea. Lily, wait, please. I want to fix things between us. Can we talk?

Billy: I’m not trying to be harsh, but you’re overstepping.

Chloe: You call me controlling? You’re impossible. Things can’t go on this way.

Adam: This isn’t just a mood. Something is seriously wrong.

Chelsea: Stop!

[ Gasps ] Let’s dive in! and I’m going to tell you about exciting medicare advantage plans that can provide broad coverage and still may save you money on monthly premiums and prescription drugs. With original medicare you are covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits but you have to meet a deductible for each, and then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at a medicare supplement plan. As you can see, they cover the same things as original medicare, and they also cover your medicare deductibles and coinsurance. But they often have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Now, let’s take a look at humana’s medicare advantage plans. With a humana medicare advantage plan, hospitals stays, doctor office visits and your original medicare deductibles are covered. And, of course, most humana medicare advantage plans include prescription drug coverage. With no copays or deductibles on tier 1 prescriptions, and zero dollars for routine vaccines, including shingles, at in-network retail pharmacies. In fact, in 2021, humana medicare advantage prescription drug plan members saved an estimated $9,600 on average on their prescription costs. Most humana medicare advantage plans have coverage for vision and hearing. And dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus dentures, crowns, fillings and more! Most humana medicare advantage plans include a silver sneakers fitness program at no extra cost. You get all of this for as low as a zero-dollar monthly plan premium in many areas; and your doctor and hospital may already be a part of humana’s large network. There is no obligation, so call the number on your screen right now to see if your doctor is in our network; to find out if you could save on your prescriptions, and to get our free decision guide. Humana, a more human way to healthcare.

Billy: I feel really bad about our argument, and I feel terrible about the way it escalated. I really don’t like that my connection to chelsea and me helping her through this illness right now is causing tension between us.

Lily: Billy, I hate it, too. I do, because I actually care about chelsea, and I support your involvement with her. And that’s why it really hurt me. And, frankly, it crossed a line when you called me petty for having concerns about your over-involvement. I mean, do you really see me as that small-minded?

Billy: No. I don’T. And I’m really — I apologize for saying that. That wasn’t right. I know how big of a heart you have.

Lily: I mean, this is not easy to navigate. And I feel like any time I question your actions when it comes to chelsea, I get accused of not understanding the situation, when you’re the one who’s kept me on the outside. I didn’t even know what was going on. And look — I get why. But then, even when chelsea tells you to let me in, you still keep me at a distance.

Billy: That wasn’t my intention.

Lily: Look — this is not easy for me to admit, but I just feel like chelsea is the one who’s making you feel special these days. Like she’s the one who occupies your thoughts, and that used to be my role.

Billy: You are the most important person in my world, and I love you so much.

Lily: I love you, too, but I —

Billy: And I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry that i have not showed you that enough lately. And I promise, once I get chelsea through this crisis, you will have my undivided attention, and we can get back to us.

Elena: I appreciate you wanting your new company to be the home of my podcast, but it took quite a bit of convincing to get me out of my contract with newman media.

Nate: I remember because I’m the one who did the convincing. The whole reason for you coming to chancellor-winters in the first place was so that we could work together.

Elena: And to also help cover your gaffe of overpromising with your podcast content.

Nate: Fair enough, but the point is this project has meant a lot to both of us. From the early days of “askmdnow,” it’s something we’ve both been passionate about. Our goal has always been to bring accurate medical information to the public in an entertaining and educational format. What I can promise is if you come to newman is that your passion will be rewarded in a way it won’t be at chancellor-winters.

Elena: I already made a commitment to devon and lily, and I’m not the kind of person who goes back on my word. And, besides, if I were to follow you to newman media after everything you’ve been through with your cousins, it would be like adding salt to the wound. And if I’m being honest, I feel a sense of loyalty to devon and lily.

Nate: What about your sense of loyalty to me?

Victoria: I made a call on hiring nate. If you had an issue with it, you should have — you should have said something.

Nick: What are you talking about? I had several issues with it, and I conveyed each and every one of them to you. Are you choosing to not remember that?

Victoria: Okay, why don’t i rephrase? Once the decision was made, as coo of this company, I would have hoped that you would have supported it, or at least kept an open mind about it, at the very least kept your concerns to yourself or limited it to a conversation between the two of us.

Nick: Why? I had every right to let nate know, as a colleague and a friend, he’s got a long ways to go before I ever trust him again, if I ever do. I’m calling things like I see them — with him, with you, and this company. And I’m telling you, you need to be very, very careful. With the way nate tried to help you gain control of chancellor-winters, he showed me a side of him that I never thought existed, and I highly doubt it’s a one-time thing. You tell me. What’s going to happen when nate decides he wants more power around here than you’re willing to give him?

Sally: Thank you for your apology, but I am not sure that I can completely forgive or forget the other night or everything leading up to it.

Adam: Well, that is, um, disappointing. But I guess it’s understandable.

Sally: Well, I hope your quiet thanksgiving gave you a chance to reflect and understand why we are no longer together, so that we can finally put everything negative behind us and figure out a way to move on from here.

Adam: Yes, I have done a lot of thinking, and I realize that my behavior was excessive, and I deeply regret that. And I also regret suggesting that nick doesn’t have feelings for you. I’m sure — I’m sure he does. You know, how could he not? You’re brilliant, you’re open-hearted, and you’re beautiful. So, I never should have suggested that he was just —

Sally: That nick was just looking for a replacement for sharon, or that he’s just in it for the sex, or that he and i are just using each other to get back at you, because you said all those things.

Adam: I’m sorry. It was stupid. It was hurtful.

Sally: Or do you still think they’re true?

Adam: It doesn’t matter whether I think it’s true or not, sally, because the reason that we should be together actually has nothing to do with nick or whether the two of you can make it as a couple. I don’t know. Maybe, maybe you could. But you would never have what you really want… what we have — a deep understanding and appreciation for each other, flaws and all. And just so we’re clear, my proposal? I’m not apologizing for that. That still stands. I do want to marry you because we belong together. And nothing is going to change my mind about that. A mystery!

Victoria: You know, you’re looking at this all the wrong way. You see nate’s offer to help with chancellor-winters as a weakness. And I see this aspect of his personality — I see it as a strength.

Nick: I just can’t wait to hear how you spin this.

Victoria: Oh, when you hire people that want your job, you’re guaranteed they’ll work hard.

Nick: You’re not threatened by that?

Victoria: Why should I be?

Nick: I got to say I’m impressed, vic. You seem to have the same uber-confidence that dad has.

Victoria: Well, I learned from the best, didn’t I? You know, he often surrounded himself with ruthless adversaries. He valued unabashed ambition in his leadership team.

Nick: Because dad thinks it’s a game. But it’s a very dangerous game.

Victoria: It would get a little boring without some danger, don’t you think? I’m not afraid of taking a risk. And I’m willing to take one with nate. And I’m just asking you to please give him the benefit of the doubt. As my coo, I expect you to back me.

Nick: You said the same thing to me about sally. Remember how that turned out.

Victoria: Well, I see that my decision to replace her has still become a sticking point with you.

Nick: Because what you did to her was unfair.

Victoria: Just exactly how serious have things become between the two of you, anyway?

Nick: What does it matter? She’s no longer at newman. It doesn’t concern you.

Victoria: I care because i don’t want to see my brother get hurt.

Sally: Why are you doing this?

Adam: Because I love you. And you love me, too, sally. You are the only woman that I have ever met who truly understands me and accepts me for who I am.

Sally: Can you just stop saying that, okay? Because whatever I thought I understood about you turned out to be wrong. I did not fully know you back then. Everyone who has warned me about you was right. Everything they said came true. You’re obsessed with proving yourself to your father, you resent your siblings, and you play games.

Adam: Okay. Maybe that is true. But none of that has anything to do with us.

Sally: It has everything to do with us. You broke my heart. And you’re continuing to break my heart with this hail mary proposal. You really think that I want to go into a marriage this way?

Adam: Okay. I screwed up. I should have given you the grand, romantic gesture that you deserve, sally. But I don’t regret asking you because you and I, we have a love of a lifetime. And in your heart, I don’t think you regret me asking you. And don’t tell me you’ve never thought about us getting married.

Sally: Of course I thought about it, when we were together, and when we were happy — not like this and not now. Why are you torturing me?

Lily: I appreciate your apology. I do. And I have asked myself if I’m being unfair or if I’ve overreacted. But I still believe there is more to this than just you trying to help chelsea.

Billy: Like what?

Lily: I understand that you feel this connection to what she’s going through because of your past. And I really, really hope that she gets through this and comes out stronger on the other side.

Billy: Believe me — so do I. Contrary to your belief that I’m enjoying being a constant presence in her life, I just want her to be happy and healthy. That’s it.

Lily: Billy, the bigger issue, I think, is what are you searching for? Because you stepped down as coo to figure that out, so that you could be a better man, a better partner in business and I can get behind that. I understand that. But what does that practice look like?

Billy: I’m not really sure yet. You know, I haven’t really had time to…

Lily: I know, because of chelsea. I want to help you find the answers. I do. But sometimes I really feel like you don’t want me involved.

Billy: No. That’s not it at all. Honestly, lily, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Chelsea: Can you meet? I’d like to talk. I get bladder leaks.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Lily: It’s chelsea. She wants to talk.

Billy: Really? Um, well, that’s, that’s good, I guess. She’s reaching out to people.

Lily: Well, do you know what she wants to talk about?

Billy: No. You want me to come with you? Sorry. She wants to talk to you. I’ll stay out of it. Are you going to take her up on it?

Nate: I hate to bring this sore point up again, but the reason why I was late for dinner with you the other night is that victoria and i were talking about the future of newman media.

Elena: I know. You already apologized.

Nate: Yes, but my point is that conversation was so fascinating and enlightening that I completely lost track of time. I’ve realized there’s so much I can learn from her. It is such a different working dynamic than with devon, whose idea of teaching someone the ropes is to constantly belittle and suppress. This is how it’s supposed to be. Victoria’s leadership is going to allow me to soar. I can feel it.

Elena: I hope you’re right.

Nate: And if you bring your podcast back to newman, I promise we will support you in a way that ensures that you shine, as well. So, come on. Join me on this journey. Let’s do it together.

Billy: Victoria.

Victoria: Hi, billy.

Billy: How’s johnny?

Victoria: Oh, you know, he’s good. He’s asked a couple of questions about chelsea after thanksgiving, but he seems fine.

Billy: Good. I’m glad to hear that. There’s actually something else I want to talk to you about. And I haven’t really had the time to bring it up yet with everything else that’s been going on.

Victoria: Well, go ahead.

Billy: What you pulled with nate? That’s despicable to me.

Victoria: Ugh! I am so tired of people giving me grief about hiring him. I was under no obligation to keep sally on. Nate’s going to do a great job.

Billy: Yeah. I don’t care about that. That’s not what I’m talking about. It’s how he got the job, the fact that you used him as a mole to infiltrate chancellor-winters.

Victoria: I know that that’s what devon believes, but he’s jumping to conclusions.

Billy: Oh, come on. Just cut the crap. It’s the truth. And I’m just trying to understand why you would do such a thing.

Victoria: I had no idea that you cared so much about chancellor-winters, given that you quit your job there.

Billy: Your company means a lot to lily and to my mother. But you didn’t think about that, did you? And you didn’t think about johnny and katie, either. They ever found out that their mother tried to steal her father’s company.

Victoria: Former company. And if I had done such a thing, I would have explained to the kids that I was doing it so that we could all work together. Anyway, in that hypothetical scenario, you would have stayed on as coo.

Billy: Right. With nate as ceo? No, thanks. Does your father know about this, because I’m sure he’s extremely proud of you.

Victoria: Do you know who else would have approved? Katherine.

Billy: Are you serious?

Victoria: She left chancellor to my father in her will. So, if newman enterprises did take a majority share of chancellor-winters, I guess it would all be in keeping with her wishes, wouldn’t it?

Billy: Oh, my gosh, that is one hell of a rationalization.

Victoria: Well, you know what, billy? That’s the way business works. So, if you don’t like it, I guess it’s a good thing that you stepped away from the corporate world. So, if you’ll excuse me, I came to get a coffee to go.

Adam: Look, sally. I feel terrible for the pain that I have caused you. But the fact that you still have strong feelings for us, that gives me hope.

Sally: We had our chance as a couple, and it didn’t work out. Okay, I’m not playing games with you, I’m not trying to punish you, and I’m not playing hard to get. I can’t go back. I won’T.

Adam: Sally, I know that you were trying to harden your heart towards me, but I can also see what you are working hard not to show.

Sally: There’s nothing behind this curtain. What I’m showing you is all there is.

Adam: I see you, all of you, your depth and your edges and your layers. And I see all that because that is the root of our connection. And that woman, that woman would never trade excitement and passion for what? For safety? Sally, that is not who you are. That is not what you deserve.

Lily: Well, looks like you’re settling in nicely.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. Billy and sharon really helped me with the move.

Lily: Yeah, billy mentioned that. So, how are you feeling?

Chelsea: Uh, I’m okay. It’s a process, but I’m getting stronger, more and more confident every single day since billy stopped me from taking my life. Lily, that’s why I texted you. We didn’t really get a chance to talk at thanksgiving. There were so many people around. But I really appreciate you reaching out. And I know you’ve probably missed out on a lot of time with billy because he’s been busy helping me. And I just want to say I’M… I’m really sorry about that. I’m sure it’s been hard for you, for both of you.

Lily: We’re both just very happy that you’re on the mend.

Chelsea: I know billy didn’t tell you about what was going on with me at the beginning, but I did urge him to talk to you about it.

Lily: Thank you. I really appreciate that.

Chelsea: I’ve just realized now more than ever how dangerous secrets can be and shame. So, I just want to be as open with you as possible. I don’t want there to be any misunderstandings. I don’t want you to misread anything that’s going on between me and billy because he’s been so involved in my situation. I just want to be as transparent as possible. So…if you have any questions for me, I’ll answer them as honest as I can. Mornings are our time,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Lily: Thank you for being straightforward with me. Billy has accused me of not really understanding the situation, which is true. I don’T. You know, at first I didn’t even know what was happening. And, also, I can’t possibly know what you’re going through because I’ve never been through something like that.

Chelsea: Well, I’m glad to hear it. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. But that being said, I feel like I’m really starting to gain control of my life and my treatment.

Lily: Good. I’m really happy to hear that.

Chelsea: Yeah. I’m reaching out to people, talking things through, making sure everyone understands. And I really owe it all to billy that I got a second chance at life. Billy understands. I truly owe him everything.

Sharon: Hey.

Billy: Hi.

Sharon: Are you here to see chelsea?

Billy: Uh, no, not exactly. I’m actually waiting for lily. And chelsea wanted to talk to lily. They’re up in the apartment as we speak.

Sharon: Oh. That’s a good sign.

Billy: Yeah, I think so.

Sharon: You know, I’ve been walking the line between giving chelsea her space and letting her know I’m here if she needs anything.

Billy: Yeah, you’re good at that. Me? Not so much. I feel like I’ve been paying a little too much attention to her more than I should, but I don’t know. I feel responsible in a way.

Sharon: Well, that’s natural and to be expected.

Billy: I have not thanked you yet for everything that you’ve done, not only for chelsea, but for me. I’m just so grateful that you answered the phone that night, and you were there to help me get chelsea to the hospital.

Sharon: Well, I… I know I wouldn’t have gotten better if I hadn’t had help. So, I guess this is just my way of paying it forward.

Adam: You didn’t directly answer my question, sally, or my proposal. You just told me why I never should have made it in the first place.

Sally: I’ve been as clear as I can be. I don’t know what else you want me to say. I have to go. Hi. So glad to see you. Thanks for coming back.

Nick: Thank you so much. Yeah. What’s going on?

Sally: Nothing. I’m famished, and I thought maybe you would enjoy supporting your sister’s restaurant for a second time today.

Nick: Yeah. Sounds good.

Skin your face will envy?

Sally: Well, after you left earlier, I decided to stay here and work and see if it inspired anything. And it has. Ideas for my new interior-design business have been flowing.

Nick: That’s great. You sound even more fired up than you were earlier.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, you know me when I sink my teeth into something.

Nick: I do.

Sally: Yeah, so, I have an inspiration board going. I’ve done some research on some pricing structures and all the places in genoa city that could use my services.

Nick: You’re on a roll.

Sally: Yeah, it’s good. It feels right. I mean, it’s definitely not something I saw myself doing even a few months ago. But when life gives you lemons…

Nick: You’re nothing if not resilient, which I admire almost as much as your attempt to distract me with all this small talk. What’s going on?

Adam: See you later. Thanks for the chat. Glad we were able to clear the air.

Chelsea: I worry that I’ve been too much of a burden on you and billy.

Lily: Like I said, billy and I, we care about you, and we really care about your recovery. And just so you know, I don’t think that you should give all the credit to billy for saving you. I mean, you worked really hard to be here, and you continue to work hard to get better.

Chelsea: My therapist said something similar.

Lily: It’s true. Billy told me that it’s important to have a network of people to lean on, which you have. You know, you have sharon and adam and chloe, your therapist. And that’s great, you know, because billy’s wonderful. But I think it’s better to have a group of people to support you. You know, because billy can’t really be there for you 24/7.

Chelsea: Yeah. Um, yeah. Thank you for your candor. And I agree. Billy should be somewhere else, focusing on his own life. I mean, he’s really lucky that he has you. Everyone should have that kind of support.

Lily: And you do have that support. I mean, look at this place, right? And the people who helped get you here.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. Well, I, um, I really appreciate you being willing to talk to me about this. It means a lot.

Lily: Yeah, of course. And, look, chelsea, I… I’m really rooting for you. I really hope that you’ll continue to heal and build a wonderful, new life for yourself.

Billy: Sharon, do you think I have a savior complex?

Sharon: No, I don’t think you’re being that way. I think what you’re doing for chelsea is important, and not everybody can look beyond themselves and take responsibility for what’s going on with somebody else.

Billy: Thank you.

Sharon: You know, if you get worn out or tired, you need to be aware of that because you have to take care of yourself, too. So if you ever want to just step back altogether, take a break… burnout is a real thing, you know? You’ve got to look out for that.

Billy: I don’t feel like I need a break. I don’t really have any intention of stepping back. So…

Adam: Hi, sharon. Glad you’re here. And you are here, also.

Billy: Hey, adam.

Adam: I came to check on chelsea. Is she upstairs?

Billy: She is, yes, but she’s having a conversation with lily. So, it’s best that they have some space.

Nick: What was that about?

Sally: I mean, we don’t have to get into it.

Nick: Eh… yeah, we do. Adam clearly wanted me to know that you two talked. So, it worked. I’m curious. How exactly did you two clear the air?

Sally: He just apologized for his behavior the other night.

Nick: Ah, you mean his desperate proposal?

Sally: I suppose, unless you’re suggesting that someone needs to be desperate to propose to me.

Nick: No, definitely not. No, I… bad choice of words. I should have went with “jarring.” I know this situation’s got you on edge, and I don’t blame you. But, honestly, sally, you still haven’t told me how you really feel about his proposal. Research shows people remember commercials

Nate: I’m not going to pressure you to come back to newman media. I know I sprung the idea on you. I hope you’ll at least give it some thought.

Elena: Of course I will.

Nate: I might have the perfect place for you to do your thinking. Victoria and i are going to los angeles for some business meetings. You should come. It could be a combination business trip and romantic getaway. I could make it up to you for missing out on hawaii.

Elena: Hmm. Romantic getaway sounds intriguing.

Nate: Right? Some cocktails by the beach, maybe hit a museum or two.

Elena: Between you telling me why I should bring my podcast back to newman?

Nate: Only if you’re open to it. We do work really well together. We always have.

Elena: I want things to go back to the way that they used to be between us.

Nate: I’ve been missing us.

Sally: Frankly, I’m kind of exhausted of everything adam right now — you know, the proposal, the conflict the other night. I am really tired of thinking about it. And the last thing I want is to cause any more trouble between you and adam. So, I would really love it if we could just put it behind us and just move on. Can we do that?

Nick: Absolutely. Talking about adam is one of my least-favorite things to do in this world. But just so you know, if you ever want to revisit it, I’m always here to listen to you.

Sally: Got it. Thank you. Now, how was your thanksgiving, because we still haven’t caught up about your jam-packed day of family fun.

Nick: Just making sure you remember. I did invite you to come with me.

Sally: I was perfectly happy with dinner for one. It was exactly what I needed. And thank you again for sending me that bottle of wine. It was exactly what I needed.

Nick: Oh, I know your party-of-one strategy was so you could avoid, you know, any drama.

Sally: Yeah, just me versus the remote control.

Nick: It was a great time. You know, my family, for the most part, was very well-behaved. So, it was pretty drama-free, as well.

Sally: I’m glad.

Nick: And the best part of the day is always the volunteering. Sharon organizes this dinner for the unhoused and under-resourced, and new hope donates a portion of the meal. It’s become this really cool tradition with sharon and the kids.

Sharon: Um, adam, why don’t we give billy and lily some space?

Billy: So, how’d it go?

Lily: Uh, it went well. She just wanted to let me know how much your support has meant to her and that you did indeed save her life.

Billy: Did she use those exact words?

Lily: It wasn’t like that. It was a good conversation. I feel like I understand better what she’s facing, although it did seem like at times she was testing me to see if I would say that she’s taking up too much of your time.

Billy: And how did you address that?

Lily: Well, I said that you want to be there for her and that I support that. And I told her, too, that, you know, she has other people to lean on, that she has chloe and sharon and adam, and that it’s important to have a network of people to rely on.

Billy: Well, it sounds like you said all the right things.

Lily: Yeah, I hope so.

Billy: Can we get out of here? Can we go to society? I can buy you lunch, and we can make up for some lost time.

Lily: Yeah, I’d like that.

Billy: Thank you for being so forgiving.

Lily: I think you are doing a good thing by helping her. I feel like I understand that better after talking to her.

Billy: I drove. So, why don’t you head over there, and I’ll be right behind you.

Lily: Okay.

Billy: Okay.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Chelsea: Hey, it’s chelsea. Leave a message at the beep.

Billy: Hey, it’s me. Just checking in. Give me a call when you get a second.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Taylor: Ridge, please say something.

Thomas: Dad.

Ridge: Don’t talk.

Thomas: I was trying to show you–

Ridge: Just be quiet. Just be quiet while I’m trying to figure out what kind of a man I’m looking at. What– what kind of a man calls child services on his own kid, has him interrogated, makes him lie just to break up my marriage.

Thomas: I didn’t ask him to lie.

Ridge: Of course, you made him lie.

Taylor: Stop! Stop! This is exactly what I was afraid of right here. Ridge, I am so sorry that you found out about this the way that you did. I should have been the one to tell you. And I– and I didn’T. I got– I got scared because of this. It’s our wedding day. I didn’t wanna ruin it. I– you said the cps call had nothing to do with– with– with us getting married. But does it? Tell me, ridge, are we gonna be husband and wife?

Brooke: Hope, what are you doing here?

Hope: I– I cut my business trip short.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I don’t want you to rearrange your schedule because of what’s going on in my life.

Hope: You’re my mom and there was no way I was going to let you go through this day all by yourself. Okay?

Brooke: Honey.

Sheila: Poor brooke.

[ Sheila laughing ] I wonder how she’s gonna rebound. Is she going to ruin a happy home or maybe sleep with somebody else’s husband? Because the sky’s the limit for that one.

Deacon: You know, it’s truly unsettling the way that you take pleasure in other people’s misery.

Sheila: Brooke’s misery is like christmas morning for me after the way she’s treated me all these years.

[ Sheila laughing ]

Deacon: Is this your idea of foreplay? Laughing at brooke’s failed marriage?

Sheila: Come on. Won’t you have a little fun?

Deacon: Making fun of brooke’s heartache is not my favorite pastime.

Sheila: Yeah, but you know what? It gives me something to do. Enjoy myself while I’m locked up in this prison.

Deacon: Prison?

Sheila: Oh, I’m sorry. I should have said in this incredibly lavish bachelor pad.

Deacon: You know, sheila, you ought to be grateful otherwise you’d be in real prison. And while we’re on the subject, that’s exactly where the two of us are gonna wind up if you keep slipping out of that door. I’m not going back behind bars. Not for anything, least of all ’cause you’re getting a little stir crazy.

Brooke: Honey, thank you for this. Really. But I haven’t been alone. Katie and donna have been here most of the day. Oh, and your grandpa, he paid us a surprise visit. He was with his girlfriend, lucy.

Hope: Oh, really? How is he?

Brooke: He’s good. He missed you.

Hope: Well, I hope to see him. But mom, I’m more worried about you. How are you really? I mean, how are you handling ridge getting married to taylor today?

Taylor: Ridge, what do you wanna do?

Thomas: You’re angry with me, not mom. Marry her.

Steffy: It’s your decision, dad. I didn’t just tell you the truth because you deserve to know. I also told you, because if you decide to marry mom, it would be real. It wouldn’t be based on manipulations and lies. It would be real love. Only you can decide if you’re ready to marry mom today.

Sheila: Why do you feel as though you have to be a constant reminder? I know the situation I’m in.

Deacon: You keep going out, you’re gonna get caught.

Sheila: Okay. If you want to continue to play warden, could we at least use some handcuffs?

Deacon: I’m serious.

Sheila: I know you are. And I really appreciate everything that you’ve done for me, deacon. And I– I know the position that I’ve put you in. But just being stuck in here staring at the same walls day after day, it’s driving me crazy.

Deacon: Look, I get it. I– it sucks. I know. You feel like you escaped one prison and now you wind up in another one. But that’s not true. We both know this is better. Let’s keep it that way.

Brooke: How am I dealing with it?

Hope: Yes. How are you coping?

Brooke: Well, I’m not going to drink, okay? You have my word.

Hope: Okay. I just want you to know that no matter what I am doing or what time of day it is, I will always be there for you.

Brooke: Just don’t know how this happened. How could ridge turn away from me like this? How could he marry somebody like taylor?

Steffy: I understand you’re upset with mom, but this is all on thomas. Moments before marrying you she was blindsided. She had to make a difficult decision.

Taylor: Yeah, it was a terrible decision to make. Of course, I was gonna tell you about the recording. I–

Steffy: Thomas is the one manipulating and lying.

Thomas: For you. For both of you. To get brooke out of your lives so that you could be the woman you’re truly supposed to be with.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. So, you are a hero now? Is that what you’re gonna tell that little boy? He won’t even look at you. You hurt innocent people. Hope, douglas, my wife. The list goes–

Thomas: Ex-wife.

Steffy: Thomas, back off.

Thomas: No, if you just kept your mouth shut, they would be together right now.

Ridge: Stop!

Steffy: Dad, I’m sorry. I’m sorry you’re hurting, but the truth is out. No more lies. No more manipulations. Yes, mom should have told you. Obviously, I still want you guys to get married today. She is the same wonderful person. Giving, incredible, everything that you love and adore. Like I said, I know this is your choice, but I think the right one is to marry mom today. Did you know some of your detergent’s fragrance

Deacon: You didn’t have to come back to la. I get that you wanna be close to finn, but that ain’t never gonna happen ’cause he’s not gonna forgive you.

Sheila: Stranger things have happened. And then, I mean, he could convince steffy and the rest of the forrester’S. Years ago, I– I shot taylor and we became friends.

Deacon: Friends? How much longer do you think you can keep this up? Hiding out here wearing that stupid mask? Sheila, listen to me. You are going to get caught. There’s no way out of this, not if you stay in la.

Sheila: There’s always a way. People underestimated me in the past, but I’m still here. I survived. So, don’t count me out, deacon. That would be a big mistake.

Taylor: Ridge, I– I– I– I should have told you. Of course, I should have. But upstairs, I was– I was five minutes away from– from walking down the aisle to marry the love of my life. And steffy was urging me to just tell you the truth. And thomas was reminding me that what he did to brooke and us getting married were completely unrelated. And I– I agreed with both of them. Ridge, you came to aspen and you told me you wanted to be with me for the rest of your life. And it had nothing to do with anything that brooke had done. So, I wanted to believe that this– this news about brooke would not stop us from getting married, but does it? Is what thomas did going to end everything?

Ridge: You’re a psychiatrist, right? You know that our son needs some serious help. What he did was sick and twisted.

Thomas: I did what I did so you two could have a future together without brooke clawing her way back in.

Ridge: You are a self-centered, delusional child who has lost all grasp on reality. You’ve done this before. You’re not gonna do it again, not to the people I love. There are consequences. And I’m gonna talk to dad about your place in the company, if there is one.

Thomas: You’re kicking me out of the company now? What’s– family next?

Ridge: I gave you life, I gave you love, I gave you support and you took it all. Is there anything else you could possibly take from me? I was so proud of you. It makes me sick to look at you.

Taylor: I– I knew that we would deal with this. I knew that we would deal with this as a family. And from my perspective, it was going to be as husband and wife. My god, ridge. I love you so much.

Ridge: I love you too. I’m gonna set this straight.

Steffy: Mom, I’m sorry. I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I’m sure the ceremony’s over by now.

Hope: This is so wrong.

Brooke: Ridge and I have always been able to get through anything. This just feels a little bit different. I think because he hasn’t told me why. So it just, you know, it’s, like, crushing pain. Oh, honey, I’m sorry. You should go down, be with liam and beth. I’m sure they’re wondering where you are.

Hope: No. Mom, I wanna be here for you.

Brooke: I just– just wanna be alone. Just think back to the wonderful memories that I have of ridge.

Hope: Won’t that hurt?

Ridge: It’s all that I have left of him. The only pieces that are still mine.

Steffy: I’m so sorry, mom, but dad needed to know the truth.

Taylor: Of course.

Thomas: After everything brooke has done, how could you?

Steffy: Because it was wrong, thomas. How can you not see that?

Taylor: Stop fighting, please.

Steffy: Mom, I’m so sorry.

Taylor: Today was supposed to be our wedding day.

Thomas: You would be married right now if steffy had just kept her mouth shut.

Taylor: He’s gonna set it straight.

[ Knocking on door ] Ridge. What are you doing here?

Ridge: May I come in? Please.

Brooke: Why are you here? It’s your wedding day.

Ridge: Yeah. I learned something today that I– I– I think you need to know. Um, I should have had more faith in you.

Brooke: What are you talking about?

Ridge: Do you remember when child services came to my dad’s house to check on douglas?

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: And I asked you if you made the call and you said no and I didn’t believe you.

Brooke: Ridge, I said that I would call child protective services on thomas if I had to, but I certainly wouldn’t alert the authorities without checking with you first.

Ridge: And I wanted to believe that, but I was certain it was you.

Brooke: How could you even think–

Ridge: Because I heard your voice. I– I heard what I– what I thought was your voice. I got– I know this guy who works with child services and I asked him to give me a copy of the call and he did and I listened to it. And it was you. You even said your name.

Brooke: It wasn’t me. I didn’t make that call.

Ridge: I know it wasn’t you. I know that now. It was thomas. He called the authorities on himself.

Brooke: Why would he do something like that?

Ridge: To set you up. To break us up. To– to make sure I don’t fight for my marriage anymore. He used this– this app on his kid’s phone that– that can change your voice, can clone your voice. And that is my wonderful boy, my resourceful boy. That’s what he did. And you always told me that he was trouble, he needed help and I– I didn’t believe that, but I did in turn believe that you would do something that I knew in my heart of hearts you would never do.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

EJ claims to have no idea what Johnny is talking about in regards to what he did to Stefan. Johnny tells him that they found Dr. Rolf in Jakarta. EJ questions what Rolf is doing there. Johnny argues that he knows exactly what he’s doing there since he’s in a secret DiMera funded lab and he told them all about what EJ and Li had him do.

Wendy tells Li that there is no sense in lying because Dr. Rolf told them about how Li had him brainwash Stefan. Li calls that ridiculous and impossible, asking why he would do something like that. Wendy explains that Dr. Rolf had Stefan forget all about his feelings for Gabi so that Gabi could love Li instead.

Stefan and Chloe eat together in the town square. Stefan comments that he can’t get over how beautiful she is and how lucky he is that she’s in his life. Chloe thanks him and says that’s really sweet, noting that she’s really lucky too that he’s in her life. Gabi then interrupts and says she needs to know if they are planning on coming to her wedding.

Brady knows Nicole is feeling insecure about Eric. Nicole asks if that’s so strange since he’s going to have a baby with another woman. Brady knows it’s not the easiest situation but they belong together. Nicole knows Eric has always wanted a child of his own and now someone else is going to make his dream come true.

Eric questions Jada saying there is no baby. Jada reveals that she is not pregnant anymore.

Li calls Dr. Rolf a liar and a sociopath as he questions Wendy trusting his word over her own brother. Wendy asks what possible reason Dr. Rolf would have to implicate himself if it wasn’t true. Li suggests that Dr. Rolf resents the prominent role he now plays in the family business. Wendy says that Dr. Rolf admitted that Li is the one who told him to brainwash Stefan and that Johnny recorded it. Li asks where that recording is now. Wendy admits that Dr. Rolf erased it and then tried to do the same to their memories. Wendy asks why he would do that if he was lying. Li questions what that maniac did to her and if he hurt her. Wendy questions his concern and complains that Dr. Rolf had them strapped to a table and prepared to inject them with an experimental drug like they were lab rats. Wendy asks if Li knew he was going to do that.

Johnny tells EJ that Dr. Rolf tried to erase he and Wendy’s brains right after he confessed that EJ and Li had him mess with Stefan’s brain to make him forget his feelings for Gabi. EJ argues that he had nothing to do with that and questions why he would give a damn. Johnny shouts that EJ only cares about control and he knew if he could turn Stefan against Gabi, then he could take the company back.

Stefan confirms to Gabi that they will attend her wedding and reminds her that they already told her. Gabi points out that they didn’t RSVP and that New Year’s Eve is right around the corner, so she needs a precise head count. Chloe comments that they don’t have the RSVP card on them. Gabi reveals that she has another one and gives it to Chloe.

Brady repeats to Nicole that Eric is committed to being a father but also very much to her. Nicole talks about hearing Eric talk about the baby on Thanksgiving and he was practically glowing about being a father. Brady asks why he wouldn’t be. Brady acknowledges that it’s not an ideal situation and understands that Nicole is having big feelings here. Brady encourages that they have got this and have been through too much. Brady points out that Eric was on the other side of the world for years but they still found their way back to each other, so he assures that they can get through this.

Eric questions if Jada had a miscarriage and says he’s so sorry and wishes she would have called him. Jada then reveals that she did not have a miscarriage and that she made the decision to terminate her pregnancy. Eric is shocked and asks what she is saying. Jada announces that she had an abortion.

Brady tells Nicole to trust in what she and Eric have together, because when she doesn’t do that is when she gets in to trouble. Nicole asks what he’s saying. Brady advises her not to do anything she’s going to regret. Nicole says she hears him but argues that this isn’t just about Jada having Eric’s baby. Nicole comments that Jada was really in to him so she worries about Jada trying to use the baby to rekindle their relationship. Brady says Jada doesn’t seem like that kind of person at all. Brady tells Nicole that sharing a child with someone doesn’t mean you belong with them. Brady points out Eric not being Holly’s biological father. Nicole comments that Daniel isn’t here to complicate things for her and Eric while Jada is.

Eric doesn’t understand since Jada told him that she wanted to have the baby. Jada responds that she changed her mind. Eric questions her not telling him. Jada reminds him that it’s her body, her choice and he said so himself. Eric thought they had a plan and he told her how excited he was to be a father to their child. Eric thought Jada was excited about it too and questions why she wouldn’t at least talk to him about it. Jada says she was afraid Eric would try to talk her out of her decision.

Stefan starts to sign the RSVP but Chloe stops him and says they haven’t had a chance to talk about attending her wedding. Gabi questions if Stefan wants to go and Chloe doesn’t. Gabi says she needs to know. Stefan assures that they will attend the wedding and that he will talk Chloe in to going because he knows they will have a wonderful time. Stefan remarks that he loves a good trainwreck and he can’t wait to watch Li Shin make the biggest mistake of his life.

Li questions Wendy thinking he instructed Dr. Rolf to strap her to a table to wipe her memory. Wendy responds that she doesn’t know what to believe. Li says the thought makes him sick which Wendy questions since this is what Dr. Rolf does since he already made Stefan forget about his love for Gabi. Li claims this is the first he’s hearing of this and promises to deal with Dr. Rolf next time he sees him. Li says he will make some calls. Wendy reminds Li of when they were kids and Li took their father’s bentley for a joy ride. Wendy recalls Li denying it when their father confronted him about it, but she forced him to confess because she wasn’t going to give up until he told her why he took the car and he admitted it was to impress some girl. Wendy remarks that even then, Li was a romantic and he would do anything to get the girl. Wendy says maybe things haven’t changed. Wendy declares that she could always tell when Li was lying to her back then. Li then gives in and admits he was the one who asked Dr. Rolf to brainwash Stefan DiMera.

EJ questions Johnny if Dr. Rolf told him that he ordered him to brainwash Stefan. Johnny admits that Dr. Rolf told him it was Li, but he knows it was both of them. EJ questions how he knows that. Johnny responds that Wendy overheard Li talking to Kristen. EJ mocks that as a reliable source. Johnny argues that he knows EJ is just like Stefano and doesn’t leave anything to chance. Johnny adds that EJ didn’t look surprised when he told him the news about Li. Johnny tells EJ to just drop the act and be real. EJ then admits that he’s known for some time that Dr. Rolf conditioned Stefan to erase his connection to Gabi. EJ says he didn’t make it happen, but he did take full advantage of it and used it to solidify Stefan’s connection to him and the family, so Johnny should be glad that he did. EJ clarifies that he had nothing to do with Dr. Rolf’s brainwashing scheme as that was all Li and Kristen. Johnny questions EJ only learning about it after the fact. EJ says that is true and he’s sure Johnny’s new friend Wendy could cast more light on Li’s motivations than he can. Johnny questions why Kristen would even want to do this. EJ is sure that’s not hard to figure out, asking what Kristen cares about most in the world. Johnny acknowledges that as Brady. EJ explains that Kristen was very interested in using Stefan to get Chloe out of Brady’s life.

Li tells Wendy that Dr. Rolf swore to him that she and Johnny would not be hurt. Wendy questions if Li is admitting that Dr. Rolf was working for him. Li explains that he discovered by accident that Dr. Rolf had saved Stefan’s life and was keeping him in a secret facility. Li admits that he requested Dr. Rolf help him. Wendy says there’s finally some honesty. Li doesn’t understand why this is so important to her. Wendy recalls when she first got to Salem, she overheard Li talking about keeping Gabi and Stefan apart. Wendy adds that when she compared notes with Johnny, it seemed like EJ was also involved. Li questions why it mattered. Wendy admits she thought she could use it as leverage to make Li give her the promotion. Li argues that he already gave her the job and questions her still wanting to hurt him. Wendy says it was just the opposite as she loves him and was worried about him which he questions. Wendy was afraid this crazy scheme could all blow up in his face as she’s seen how hard he’s fallen for Gabi and worries about it not being real. Li insists that it is real, he loves Gabi and she loves him and only him.

Gabi questions if Stefan is planning on coming to her wedding to cause trouble. Stefan assures that he won’t cause the trouble but he will enjoy observing it. Stefan says everybody knows this wedding is about Gabi holding on to power at DiMera. Gabi insists that she’s marrying Li for the right reasons because they love each other. Stefan guesses they will find out on New Year’s Eve. Gabi says they will. Gabi hopes Chloe’s not too uncomfortable as she assumes Chloe was reluctant to accept the invitation because of Brady. Chloe questions what Brady has to do with any of this. Gabi points out that Chloe will be seeing Brady at the wedding, so she hopes she will be okay with that.

Brady tells Nicole that he shares a child with Kristen and there’s no way in Hell they are getting back together. Nicole argues that they kind of already did since he claims to love Chloe, but broke up with her and moved Kristen in. Brady argues that he was just doing what’s right for his kid. Nicole goes over Brady ending his relationship to be with Rachel’s mother and questions why she shouldn’t believe that Eric wouldn’t do the exact same thing.

Eric tells Jada that he would never pressure her to do something she didn’t want to do. Jada questions if he would’ve just listened without judging which Eric says he would have. Jada says that’s easy to say now. Eric knows things ended badly between them and that it was his fault. Jada questions if he’s going to ask if she did this to punish him. Eric just wants to understand. Jada says it wasn’t an easy choice but it was the right one and it had nothing to do with Eric. Eric brings up Thanksgiving and how Jada made her decision very clear, so he questions what changed her mind. Jada claims she thought it was what she wanted, but that was before she had time to process what it would really be like being a single mom and a cop as it would’ve been too much. Eric argues that she wouldn’t have been alone as they would’ve done this together. Jada is sure he believed that and she did too, but then she spoke to Nicole which Eric questions. Jada talks about Nicole knowing how it is to raise a child alone, so she helped her realize the struggle since half the time she would be alone and she couldn’t take the pain of bearing a child, whose father doesn’t love her and being tied to him for the rest of her life. Eric questions when she and Nicole had this conversation about the baby. Jada informs him that Nicole came in the other night and that she saw them together on Thanksgiving. Eric questions what exactly Nicole said. Jada says she said a lot of things and asked questions like why she would want to have a baby that would connect her to Eric forever. Eric questions what else she said. Jada says Nicole talked about being a single mom and painted a very clear picture of what that would look like and then she finished by reminding her that if she had this child, then Nicole would be a part of her life forever. Eric questions Nicole saying all that. Jada admits she didn’t think about how hard it would be as there are so many women with unwanted pregnancies that don’t have a choice, but she did. Eric points out that just the other day, the pregnancy wasn’t unwanted but her conversation with Nicole changed that. Jada doesn’t know if that was Nicole’s intent, but confirms that her visit definitely helped her decide to not have the baby.

Brady assures Nicole that his relationship with Kristen is nothing like Eric’s with Jada, reminding her that Eric ended that relationship to be with her. Nicole points out that she ended her marriage to be with him but that was before finding out about the baby. Brady assures that Eric will figure a way to work around the baby and there’s no reason the baby should come between them.

Chloe asks Gabi why Brady is coming to her wedding. Gabi says Li invited him and she assumes he’s going to bring Kristen. Gabi asks them to send their RSVP as soon as they can and rushes off.

Li tells Wendy that he didn’t set out to do any of this and when he discovered that Dr. Rolf was keeping Stefan’s body on ice, he began monitoring the situation if he could use it to his or the company’s advantage. Wendy asks how. Li explains that everyone thought of him as still just Mr. Shin’s son, so he thought if he could retrieve one of Stefano’s sons, it would help quicken his ascent of the corporate ladder but then he fell in love with Gabi. Li says he tried to stop his attraction because he knew Stefan and Gabi were married, but his feelings reached the point of no return and he realized that bringing back Stefan would cause him to lose Gabi which he was not willing to do.

Johnny questions EJ finding out about what Dr. Rolf was doing and keeping quiet. EJ responds that he didn’t get involved because it was none of his business. Johnny argues that Stefan is his brother and asks what if someone did that to EJ after his accident and erased his feelings for Sami. EJ jokes that he would sincerely thank that person for doing him a favor. Johnny doesn’t believe that. EJ tells him to believe what he wants. EJ says he’s eternally grateful that he and Sami produced Johnny and Sydney, but other than that, loving Sami has caused him nothing but humiliation and heartbreak. Johnny questions EJ thinking he was just doing Stefan a favor and that taking the company back was just a bonus. EJ mocks Johnny looking down on him as if he cares about Stefan’s feelings or the ethics of what Dr. Rolf did to him. Johnny asks what he’s saying. EJ responds that this isn’t about Johnny defending someone’s right to love who they want or about love at all. EJ declares that this is about resentment, revenge, and payback because Johnny swore to make him pay for the way he hurt Ava Vitali and now he has his chance.

Jada notes that obviously Nicole didn’t tell Eric that she came here. Eric doesn’t want to talk about Nicole and says he wants to be here for Jada. Eric asks how she’s feeling and if he can get her anything. Jada says she just needs to rest. Eric says to just let him know if she needs anything and offers to take her to the doctor for a follow up. Jada says it’s fine and that Eric handled this as well as she could imagine. Jada is sure if she made a different decision, she knows he would’ve done the right thing and been a good father, but he’s off the hook now. Jada declares that they are broken up and she’s not having his child, so there’s no reason for them to be in each others’ lives. Jada calls that her polite way of telling him to leave her alone, warning that next time she can’t promise to be so nice. Eric then gets up and exits the Pub.

Nicole doesn’t see how Jada having the baby won’t come between her and Eric. Brady insists that it doesn’t have to. Brady points out that Nicole brought Eric in to Holly’s life and Holly adores him. Nicole says that’s because Holly doesn’t have a father while this baby will have a mother. Brady praises Nicole as a stepmom. Brady urges her to go in to this positively for everyone’s sake and not to do anything to screw this up.

Chloe comments that Stefan seems a bit determined to go to Gabi’s wedding. Stefan guesses she is hating the wedding and asks if she’s worried about being around Brady. Chloe admits that she doesn’t love the idea of being around Brady on New Year’s Eve, especially if he’s with Kristen. Chloe mentions taking the promotion to put some distance between her and Brady. Stefan understands and says if going to the wedding will make her uncomfortable, they can forget about it. Chloe calls him the best. Stefan apologizes for putting any pressure on her and says that’s just not worth it. Stefan remembers a place she did want to go with him and that’s Miami. Chloe asks if he still wants to go away together. Stefan suggests they forget about that sham of a wedding and ring in the New Year together on the beach. Chloe agrees that it sounds perfect. Stefan then signs the RSVP that he and Chloe will not attend the wedding. Chloe calls that an excellent choice and says she will get it in the mail ASAP. Stefan declares that they will ring in the New Year by starting fresh and putting Gabi and Brady behind them for good.

Wendy gets that Li wants to hold on to Gabi but he has to know this isn’t fair to her. Li argues that Gabi loves him. Wendy doesn’t doubt that, but she’s seen Gabi with Stefan and it’s still painful to have him hate her like that. Li argues that Gabi is over Stefan and is with him now. Wendy asks how Gabi would feel if she found out that she was about to marry the man who made her ex stop loving her. Li insists that he knows all about Gabi and Stefan’s history and they weren’t a perfect romance as they were bitter adversaries at first. Wendy points out that they fell in love after. Li says Stefan has now moved on with Chloe Lane and brings up that he was with her before Gabi. Wendy accuses him of trying to justify this. Li doesn’t care if she thinks what he did was wrong, he only cares about what she’s going to do now that she knows. Li warns that if she tells anyone, he will lose his job, lose Gabi, and he could go to prison. Li knows he doesn’t have the right to ask but she’s left him no choice. Li then begs Wendy to please keep quiet about this and convince Johnny to do the same.

Johnny admits that he was angry for how EJ treated Ava and that’s why he started investigating, because he wanted to teach him a lesson. EJ brings up the way Ava treated Susan and asks if Johnny still feels the same way, that he would hurt his own father for her. Johnny admits he doesn’t because what Ava did was horrible and unforgivable. EJ says he told him that Ava was a menace and now she’s cost him his mother. Johnny says he’s sorry if him taking Ava’s side against him contributed in any way to losing Susan. EJ says he doesn’t blame him. Johnny feels like if he would’ve done things differently, Susan might still be alive. Johnny repeats that he really is sorry. EJ says it’s okay as they both did things they wish they could take back. EJ adds that one thing he does know is that Susan would want them to put all of this behind them and be a family again. Johnny says he wants that too but argues that Stefan has a right to know what was done to him.

Li reminds Wendy of what it was like growing up in their house and the pressure their father put on him. Li says he finally has everything he could ever want; a position of respect and the woman of his dreams, but his life is now in Wendy’s hands. Li pleads with Wendy not to tell Gabi about this. Gabi then walks in and questions telling her about what.

EJ argues that Johnny can’t tell Stefan about what was done to him. Johnny argues that Stefan has a right to know. EJ pleads with him not to, warning that he could lose DiMera Enterprises and could also go back to prison for his complicity. EJ points out that he just lost his mother and asks Johnny not to take anything else away from him. Stefan then walks in to the room.

Wendy tells Gabi that they were just talking about Li’s first love. Gabi questions why she can’t know about that. Li says he didn’t want her to be jealous, even though she’d have no reason to be. Gabi asks if he’s sure about that since he had a pretty guilty look on his face when she walked in. Li claims she misread his look and that he’s just happy to see her as he hugs her. Wendy assures that Gabi doesn’t have to worry about Li’s feelings for her as she can confirm that he would do anything to keep her heart. Gabi says that’s good to know and brings up things being pretty heated before she left and asks if everything is okay between them. Wendy says Li was a little upset with her. Li declares that they have come to an understanding and he gets why she took the jet, so they are ready to put this whole episode behind them.

Stefan questions what’s going on. Johnny tells him that EJ just told him about Susan and he can’t believe it. Stefan says he’s very sorry about his loss, but he thought he heard a tense conversation that sounded like Johnny was blaming EJ for Susan’s death as if what happened was his fault, but he only caught the end of it. EJ brings up how guilty he felt. Stefan argues that EJ doesn’t need to feel guilty as it’s abundantly clear that Ava was out of control, so it was her fault. Stefan asks Johnny not to blame EJ because he needs him right now. Johnny agrees that he’s been too hard on EJ and says what’s done is done while he knows that EJ only wants what is best for the family.

Nicole admits that she went to a dark place for a minute, but she trusts Eric. Nicole declares that she, Holly, Eric, and the baby on the way will be a family and they will make it work. Eric then bursts in and states that he needs to speak with Nicole alone.

Johnny and Wendy go to Allie’s apartment. Johnny tells her that this is not how he saw any of this going since they got what they wanted as Li and EJ admitted their complicity in the brainwashing of Stefan. They acknowledge that if they don’t keep quiet about it, Li and EJ will both lose everything. Johnny brings up that EJ already lost his mother as he informs Wendy that Susan died in the most awful way. Wendy tells him that she’s so sorry. Johnny calls Susan such a sweet and caring person and he can’t imagine what her last moments must have been like. Wendy calls it so sad. Wendy asks if they both agree that they have to keep EJ and Li’s secrets. Johnny agrees that Gabi and Stefan can’t know, though they both admit they do not feel okay with that.

Gabi and Li kiss. Li tells her that the past doesn’t matter and all that matters is them now. Gabi feels the same as they continue kissing.

Stefan tells EJ that he’s so sorry for what he’s going through. EJ doesn’t know how to deal with all his anger. Stefan understands he’s angry about losing his mother in a horrific and senseless way. Stefan knows he mentioned it before, but he’s here for him for whatever he needs. EJ thanks him and says he appreciates that. Stefan adds that if somebody he loved deeply was taken from him, he knows EJ would do the same…

Chloe runs in to Brady in the town square. Brady notices she has Li and Gabi’s RSVP card. Chloe informs him that she and Stefan will not be attending as they are going away for the weekend. Chloe remarks that there will be more room on the dance floor for Brady and Kristen, assuming she is his plus one. Chloe apologizes for saying anything and asks if Nicole is at Basic Black as she needs to run something by her. Brady suggests she wait a bit since he just came from the office and Eric was there to talk to her. Chloe asks if everything is okay. Brady doesn’t know but he got the sense that Eric was definitely upset about something.

Jada goes to her room and sits on the bed as she holds back tears.

Eric slams the door shut as Nicole questions what is going on. Eric asks how could she and what she said to Jada. Eric demands the truth as he questions if Nicole encouraged Jada to have an abortion.

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Dustin

Carly arrived at the Quartermaine mansion and Drew told her that she looked absolutely beautiful.  She responded by saying that Drew looked pretty handsome himself.  Before they could continue the conversation, Willow and Michael arrived and Carly and Drew greeted both of them. Michael and Willow were pleased when they learned that Carly intended to help Drew with the search for Willow’s birth parents.

Olivia would not hear of any talk about the Quartermaine’s jaded Thanksgiving past and was determined that this year the Quartermaine family would have a turkey for Thanksgiving.  She informed Ned and Michael that she had ordered it herself from a farm with a French name, in Port Charles. But Olivia clearly doesn’t know French that well or she would have figured out that they were sending her a real, live turkey.  When it arrived, both Michael and Ned made fun of Olivia for not realizing that she was being sent a live turkey.  Michael suggested that they prepare the bird themselves when Olivia’s plan to bribe the Quartermaine chef to prepare the bird, failed miserably.  Ned said that preparing the turkey had been part of Thanksgiving since the dawn of the holiday.  Michael agreed and said that he would grab Drew and Chase to assist.

Leo was thrilled to see the turkey but did not like the idea of Ned and Michael prepping it and cooking it, so he set it free inside the house and then proceeded to run room to room screaming for everyone to get out of the house because there was a turkey on the loose.

Sonny hosted his own Thanksgiving dinner but found time for romance beforehand by giving Nina a pair of diamond earrings. Sam and Dante were the first guests to arrive. When they shared a private moment, Sam voiced her concerns about Cody, and Dante shrugged them off. Sam said she appreciated Dante defending his friend but she was curious if Cody was up to something concerning the Ice Princess.  Dante said that the necklace might actually be Cody’s property and he said that having come from nothing, it was perfectly natural for Cody to defend his interests in the necklace.

The conversation between Dante and Sam was brought to a screeching halt when they heard Gladys tear into Alexis from the other room for publishing the fact that Esme might be the prime suspect in the Hook killings. She felt she should have been the first to know, seeing how Brando was one of the killer’s victims. Nina was confused and asked Gladys if she had not been informed that Esme was a suspect. Gladys responded by saying she had not. Dante told them all that this was because the PCPD did not have a prime suspect because the investigation was ongoing and it was important that the press not release information prematurely.  Alexis glared at them all, knowing that she had already authorized the story to be printed.  Sonny asked everyone to remain calm and reminded them that Thanksgiving was about family.  Gladys reminded Sonny that Brando was her family.  Her only family.  Alexis then apologized for releasing the information.  She said that she thought that Gladys would be pleased with her decision because she was turning up the heat on the investigation at a time when it appeared to have run cold.  Gladys, however, was having no part of Alexis’ apology and retreated from the room.

Laura, Robert, Mac and Jordan gathered to track down Holly. They finally got a lead on her. But before they began discussions, Laura dispatched the duplicitous Deputy Mayor Ashby elsewhere, before she could overhear the details of the search.

Meanwhile, Holly modeled the Ice Princess necklace while hiding out in an abandoned cabin in the woods. She made herself a fire to keep warm without noticing that gas had been leaked onto the floor. When the authorities arrived, Robert begged her to give up and come out of the cabin. Holly asked if Laura was all right and told Robert to apologize to her for her actions.

Back at the PCPD, Felicia had brought everyone Thanksgiving dinner because she knew that they would be working. Felicia asked Laura how she was doing with everything that had happened in the last twenty-four hours.  Laura replied that she was fine.  Felicia said that she couldn’t believe that Holly would steal Laura’s car and leave her on the side of the road all for a necklace.  Laura told Felicia she believed the matter was far more complicated than just “a necklace.” Felicia said that she agreed, but that she still could not believe the events that had transpired.

The Q’s looked on in horror from the back windows of the mansion’s kitchen as the turkey tore the room apart. Brook Lynn congratulated Olivia on her valiant effort to create a perfect Thanksgiving for the family. She then named all the wonderful women who had tried and failed in the past to set the Quartermaine Thanksgiving curse right (including her grandmother, Lila Quartermaine). But, she said that at some point you have to accept tradition, as it is. Olivia agreed, but was out of ideas for what they would all eat.  The entire group said in unison, “Luigi’s.”  The pizza arrived, the Quartermaine’s sang, and once again, all appeared right with the world. 

Sasha stared out of the windows of Sonny’s penthouse, while she recalled the events of her wedding to Brando. Sonny came in and asked how she was doing. They spoke briefly and Sonny told her she was always welcome at his house.  Sasha thanked him and he then asked her if Gladys was still exercising her responsibilities as guardian with a “hands-on” attitude.  Sasha said that she believed that she and Gladys finally understood each other.  

Gladys, on the other hand, said that she had to make a call and excused herself.  She called the Savoy, told them she was having a bad day and needed some fun.  She then booked herself a seat at Selina Wu’s next poker game. 

Back at the cabin, Jordan instructed Mac to move in with armed police units as Robert begged her to give Holly more time to do the right thing.  Jordan said that Holly had already had enough time; but before she could finish her statement there was a large explosion in the cabin which nearly knocked everyone to the ground.  Shortly after, a woman, who appeared to be Holly burst through the front door, completely consumed by flames.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What I did to Uncle s Stephan, I have no idea what Wendy and I went to Jakarta. We found Dr. Rolf. What is Ralph doing in Jakarta? You know exactly what he’s doing there. He’s in a secret der funded lad that you shipped him off to, and he told us all about what you and Lee Adam do.

There’s no sense in life Before he tried to wipe our memories. Ralph told Johnny and me how you had him brainwash Stephan. That’s ridiculous. Which part? Okay. Let’s forget for the moment that what you’re talking about is impossible. Why would I do something like that? Because Ralph made Stephan forget all about his love for Gabby, so Gabby could love you instead.

Why are you looking at me like that? Sorry. I guess I am staring. I just

can’t get over how beautiful you are and how lucky I am that you’re in my life. Thank you. That’s, that’s really sweet. And I’m really lucky too that you’re in my life.

Sorry to interrupt then, don’t. Chloe and I are trying to enjoy a nice breakfast. Oh, this is only gonna take a minute. I need to know if you’re planning on coming to my wedding.

I know you’re feeling a little insecure right now about Eric. Is that so strange? He’s gonna have a baby with another woman, Brady, which was not intended. Look, I know it’s not the easiest situation. Okay? But the bottom line is you two belong to.

What? Oh, have you suddenly changed your mind about that as well? No, no, no. Of course not. It, I, I believe that actually I, I know that Eric has always wanted a child of his own. Now someone else is gonna make his dream come true.

What do you mean? There’s no baby? I mean that I’m not pregnant anymore.

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

helm. Rolf is a liar and a sociopath, yet you trust his word over your own. What possible reason would he have to implicate himself if it wasn’t true? Perhaps the good doctor presents the prominent role I now play in the DER family business. Or perhaps that prominent role, but you in a position to harness his twisted.

Admitted that you were the one who told him to brainwash stuff and Johnny taped the confession. And where’s that recording now? Ralph arrested and then he tried to do the same thing with our memories. Why would he do that if he was lying? What did that maniac do to you? What now you’re. Did he hurt you?

Jwe hurt me. That freak had a strap down to a table about to inject us with some experimental drug, like a couple of lab rats. Did you know he was going to do that?

So Rolf tried to reboot your memory. Yeah, mine and Wendy’s. Right after he confessed that you and Lee had a mess with your brother’s brain to make him forget all about his feelings for Gabby. I didn’t have anything to do with that. For God’s sake, Johnny, why on earth would I give a damn about that? You didn’t care about one thing.

Control. And you knew that if you could turn Stephan against Gabby, he’d vote for you and you could take the company back.

Yes, Gabby, we will be attending your wedding. I distinctly remember saying we wouldn’t dream of missing it. Right. Well, you didn’t RSVP and New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, so I need to get a precise headcount. Oh, okay. Well, we don’t exactly have the RSVP card on us. Well, I have another one right here.

I told you, Hey, I spoke to Eric. He is committed to being a father, but he’s also very much committed to you. Come on, Brady. Come on, come on. What? I heard Eric talk about the baby on Thanksgiving and, and he was, yeah. He was practically glowing about being a father. Well, yeah, he’d okay. He’s excited about being a father.

Why wouldn’t he be? I mean, it’s finally going to happen for him. He, Nick, it’s not an ideal situation and I understand you’re having some, you know, big feelings here. Big feelings. That’s all you could come up with. Look, what I’m trying to say is, you got this, you got this. You have been through too much with one another.

Think about how the challenges you, he was on the other end of the world for how many years. You still found your way back to one another, didn’t you? You can work it out and know that you can.

God, you, you had a miscarriage. I’m Jah. I’m so sorry. I I wish you would’ve called me. I didn’t have a miscarriage. I, I made the decision to terminate my pregnancy. I.

What? What are you saying?

I had an abortion.

Do you trust Eric? Of course I do. Okay, good. Then trust in what you have. Because historically, Nicole, uh, when you don’t do that, that’s when you get into trouble.

What are you saying, Brady? I’m saying don’t do anything that you will regret. Nicole, I hear you. Okay, but this isn’t just about giving Jada and Eric Space or whatever. I mean, she was really into him. What if she uses this baby to try and rekindle their relationship? Mm-hmm. Uh, she doesn’t seem like that kind of a person at all.

The kind of person who wants to be with the father of her child, Nicole. Just because you share a child with someone doesn’t mean you belong with them. Okay. Look, you have Holly. Eric is not the biological father. Right. But Daniel isn’t here to complicate things between Eric and me. Jada is

Jada. I don’t understand. You told me you wanted to have the baby. I changed my mind without telling me it’s my body, my choice. You said so yourself? Yes. Yes, I did. But I mean, I thought we had a plan. I told you how excited I was to be a father to our child. I thought you were excited about that too. Why wouldn’t you just at least talk to me about it?

I know how much you wanted to have this baby, which is why I was afraid. I was afraid that if I told you about my decision, that you would try to talk me out of it.

Uh, Stephen, wait. Wait for what? Well, I know that, um, Stephan said that. You know, he wouldn’t dream of not going to your wedding, but we haven’t had a chance to talk about it yet. What’s there to talk about? Unless you guys aren’t in sync about this. Is that what it is? He wants to go, but you don’t. No, I didn’t say that.

No. Well, what are you saying? Because I need to know the verdict. I, I need to know. Okay, Gabby, the verdict is we will attend your wedding. Chloe is feeling a bit ambivalent at the moment, but. I will talk her into it because I know that we won’t have a wonderful time. So that’s a yes. Oh yeah. You know me, Gabby.

I love a good train wreck. I can’t wait to watch Lee Shin make the biggest mistake of his life. You actually think I instructed Dr. Rolf to strap you to a table and wipe your memory? I don’t know what to believe. The thought makes me. Doesn’t, because apparently this is the kind of thing he does considering he already made Steph and forget about his love for Gabby.

Well, this is the first I’m hearing of all this, and I promise you if I ever see Dr. Rolf again, I’ll deal with him. Actually, let me make some calls. Lee,

do you remember when. And we took father’s Bentley out for a toy ride. What about it? When father saw the scratch on the door the next day, he suspected what you had done. But when he confronted you about it, you looked him right in the eye and denied it. Didn’t it even blink? No. No. Of course, when I got you alone, I forced you to confess.

I. It seems to remember you kept poking me with a sharp stick. No, I wasn’t going to give up until you told me why you took the car , and then finally you admitted it was to impress some girl. Your point, even then you were romantic. You do anything to get the girl?

Maybe things haven’t changed.

I always tell when you were lying to me back then. Do I need to bring out the sharp stick?

You’re right. I was the one who asked Ralph to brainwash that in the mirror. Rolf told you I was party to this, that I ordered him to brainwash. He told me it was Lee, but I know that it was both of you. And how would you know that? Because Wendy overheard her brother talking to Aunt Kristen . Oh, now Vaz a reliable sauce.

Look, dad. I know you okay. You’re just like, no, no, you don’t leave anything up to chance. And when I just told you about Rolf, it’s pretty obvious you weren’t surprised about the news. So just come on after everything we’ve been through the last couple days. Can you just drop the act? Just be real for a second.

Okay. Yes. I’ve known for some time that Ralph conditioned your uncle to erase his connection to Gabby. I didn’t make that happen, but I did take full advantage of it. I used it to solidify Stefan’s connection to me and the family, and you should be glad I did it.

Now to be clear, I had nothing to do with Wolf’s brainwashing scheme. That was all Lee and Kristen. So you’re telling me you only learned about this after the fact? That’s right. And by then, and it was already a Fatto Ri Lee had his own personal reasons. I’m sure your new friend Wendy. Could cast more light on his motivations than I can.

Why would aren’t Kristin even want to do this? I’m sure that’s not that hard to figure out. What does she care about most in this world?

Brady. Brady, right. She was very interested in using Stephan to get Chloe Lane out of his life. Rolf swore to me that neither you nor Johnny would be hurt, so you admit that he was working for you. I discovered by accident that Rolf had saved Stephan’s life, that he was keeping him in a secret facility, and yes, I made a request.

I asked him to help me. Finally, some honesty, I don’t understand why this is so important to you. When I first got to Salem, I overheard you talking about keeping Gabby and Stephan apart, and then when I compared notes with Johnny Damara, it seemed like his father was also involved. Why did it matter? Well, honestly, I thought I could.

Use it as leverage to get you to gimme that promotion. I already gave you the job and I appreciate that. If you still wanted to hurt me, no, just the opposite. I love you. Okay. I was worried about you. Worried about me, how I was afraid this crazy scheme can blow up in your face. I mean, I’ve seen how hard you’ve fallen for Gabby, but if this isn’t real, please it.

Real. I love her. She loves me. Only me if you’re planning on coming to my wedding to cause trouble. No, no, Gabby, I will not be causing the trouble, but I certainly will enjoy observing it. Easy. Everybody knows what this wedding is about, and that is you holding onto power at. My family company. I know you think that everything is about you, but I am marrying Lee for the right reasons.

I love him and he loves me. If you say so, guess we’ll find out New Year’s Eve. You sure As how Will and and Chloe, I hope you’re not too uncomfortable. I’m assuming you’re reluctant to accept my invitation because of Brady. What does Brady have to do with any of this? Well, you’ll be seeing him at my. I just hope you’ll be okay with that.

Hey, I shared child with Kristen. There’s no way in hell we’re getting back together. Uh, you kind of already did, huh? You, you claim to love Chloe, but if I’m not mistaken, you broke up with her and moved Kristen in. Oh, gosh. I was, I was just doing what I, I, yes. What, what is right for your. Yeah. Okay, so let me get this straight one more time.

You ended your current relationship, so you could be with Rachel’s mother. Why should I believe that Eric wouldn’t do the exact same thing? I would never put in pressure on you to do something you wouldn’t want to do. So what are you saying? If I would’ve called you, you would’ve just sat there and listened without judgment?

Yes, it’s easy to say now. I know things between us ended it badly and I know that it was my fault. Are you, are you about to ask me if I did this to punish you? No, I’m not saying that’s what I was thinking. I’m just trying to understand. This wasn’t an easy choice for me, but it was the right one. It had nothing to do with punishing you.

It had nothing to do with you, period.

Can I ask you a question, please? Thanksgiving day, you made it. You made it very clear about your decision to have the baby. I mean, what was it? What was it that changed your mind?

I thought it was what I wanted, but that was before I had time to process what it would really be. Being a single mom and a cop, it, it was just, just too much.

You weren’t gonna do this alone. We were gonna do this together. I’m you’re saying that now, and I’m sure you believe it. I believed it too, to the fact that even if we didn’t have a relationship, that this baby could still bring us joy and that we can make it.

I would, but then I, I spoke to,

You, you spoke to Nicole. She knows how it is to raise a child alone. She helped me realize that it’s gonna be a struggle. And even though I know you said you, you would share a part of that with me, but half of the time I would be alone. And another part of it, I, I just couldn’t take the pain of burying a child with whose father doesn’t love me and being tied to him for the rest of my life.

So when did you and Nicole have this conversation about the baby? She came here, the other. She came here to see you. She had walked in on Thanksgiving dinner and sauce together. Wait, she was here. Well, apparently she walked in and walked out. So when she came here to see you, what exactly did she say? She said a lot of things.

She asked me some questions like, why would I wanna have a baby that’s gonna connect me with you forever? What else did she say? She was just telling me how it was for her being a single mom, and she painted a very clear picture of what that would look like, and then she finished by reminding me that if I had this child, that she would be a part of my life forever.

She said on that? Yeah, she did. And I have to admit that I didn’t think about how hard it would be. There are so many women in this country with unwanted pregnancies that don’t have a choice, sadly, but I did.

It’s just the other day that this pregnancy wasn’t unwanted.

In your conversation with Cole changed. I don’t know if it was her intent, but her visit definitely helped me decide to not have this baby.

You need to trust me when I tell you that my situation with Kristen is nothing like Eric’s situation with Jada. Eric does not wanna be with Jada. Okay. He ended his relationship because he wants to be with you. Yeah, and I ended my marriage so that I could be with him, but that was before he found out about this baby.

Eric is gonna find a way to work this thing out with Jada. There is no reason why this child has to come between the two of you.

Why is Brady coming to your wedding? Lee invited him. Work politic. You know, and just so there aren’t any other surprises, we invited Brady with a plus one. I’m assuming he’s gonna bring Kristen. Anyway, I’m just gonna leave this RS repeat card with you guys. Can you please send it as soon as you can?

Fuck. I didn’t set out to do any of this. When I discovered that Rolf was keeping Stephan’s body on ice, I, I began to monitor the situation. I, I, I thought possibly I could use it for my advantage of the company, how

everyone still thought of me as just shin’s son. I thought if I could retrieve one of Stefano’s sons, He would help quicken my ascent up the corporate ladder. But then you fell for d i I tried to stuff my attraction down. I knew that Gabby and Stephen were married, but once my feelings passed the point of no return, he realized that bringing back Stephan would cause you to lose her.

And that was not a loss I was willing to accept. So you learned about what Rolf did, but you, you kept quiet about it because it wasn’t any of my business. None of your business. Hey Stephanie, is your brother mean? What if that happened to you? What? What if after your accident, somebody got inside your head and your heart and erased all the love you ever had from mom?

Honestly, I would sincerely thank that person. For doing me a favor, I don’t believe that believe what you want. Now. I am eternally grateful that we produced you and your little sister, but other than that, loving Samantha Brady has caused me nothing but humiliation and heartbreak. Ha ha. Oh, I see. So you were just doing your brother a favor and taking the company back from Gabby.

Just a bonus. Must be good looking down at me from that high horse. If you care about your uncle’s feelings or even the ethics of what Dr. Rolf did to him, what are you saying? I’m saying that this isn’t about you defending someone’s right to love. They want, this isn’t about love at all. This is about resentment and revenge payback.

You swore that you would make me pay for the way I heard vital,

and now you have your chance.

Obviously Nicole didn’t tell you that she came here. I don’t want to talk about Nicole.

I wanna be here for you. For me. Yeah. I wanna be here for you. I, I’m, how are you feeling? I’m fine. Can I get you anything to eat? I’m not hungry. I, I just need to rest Of course. Yeah. Oh, you just let me know if you need anything. I mean, I can take you to your doctor for a follow up if you need. Uh, Eric, it’s, it’s, What

you’ve handled this as well as I could possibly imagine, and I I, and I’m sure that if I would’ve made a different decision, I know that you would’ve done the right thing and been a good father,

but you’re off the hook now. Oh, the hook. You and I are broken. I am not having your child, so there’s no reason for us to be in each other’s lives.

I, um, listen that, that, that was my polite way of saying to leave me alone. Next time. I can’t promise it. I’ll be so nice.

I just don’t see how Jada having this baby won’t come between Eric and me. Doesn’t have to. I said, look, hey, you brought Eric into Holly’s life, right? Holly adores him right? Yes, she does. Mm-hmm. . But Holly doesn’t have a father. This baby will have a mother. Mm-hmm. . And this baby is also gonna have a very cool stepmom.

You come on, you’re gonna be a great stepmom. And at one. And what? At one point when the time is right, you’re gonna go to Jayden, say, jf, I’m really excited about this. I’m gonna be very supportive of this blended family and I’m gonna love this child that you have with Eric. Just as much as I love my. Now say Brady, I can do that,

I suppose. No, no, no, no. Don’t suppose, I suppose wrong word. Do it. Go into this positively and let Jada know that you care enough about this to make this happen. I am urging you back for everyone’s sake. Don’t do anything to screw this up.

Uh, so you seem a bit determined to go to this wedding and you are hating the idea more and more. This Brady, uh, I just, you worried about being around him? I don’t love the idea of being around him on New Year’s Eve, especially if he’s with Kristen. I mean, the reason I took that promotion from Lee was to put some distance between us, you know?

No, I understand that. So look, if going to that ridiculous wedding is going to make you feel uncomfortable, screw. Forget about the wedding, really? Oh, you’re the best. Yeah. Look, I, I am sorry that I put any pressure on you whatsoever. It was just not worth it. But I do remember a place that you did want to go with me.

And where’s that? Miami. Really? You, you still want to go away? Yes. Yes. I, let’s forget about this sham of a wedding and ringing the new year together on the beach, huh? That sounds perfect. Does, doesn’t it? It does. All right. Okay. So

Damara, Chloe Lane will not attend. Regrets to the happy couple. Sounds like an excellent choice, and I will get this to a male box asap. Sounds good. And we will bring in the new year and start fresh. Put Gabby and Brady behind us for good.

Look, I get that. You want to hold on to Gabby, but you have to know that this isn’t fair to. Gabby loves me. I don’t doubt that, but I’ve seen Gabby with Stephan. It’s still painful to have him hate her like that. She’s over him. She wouldn’t be marrying me if she wasn’t. Okay. How do you think she’d react if she knew she’s about to marry the man who made her exs?

Stop loving her. I know all about Gabby and Stephen’s. They weren’t this perfect romantic ideal when they first met. They were bitter adversaries and then they ended up falling in love. And now Stephan has moved on with Chloe Lane. From what I hear, he was infatuated with her and before he ever got involved with Gabby, you really are doing some work to justify this.

I don’t care if you think what I did was wrong, I care about what you’re going to do now that you. What you mean? Am I going to tell anyone?

If you did, I’d lose my job. I’d lose Gabby. I could go to prison. Well, I know I don’t have the right to ask you this. But you left me no other choice.

I’m asking you. No, I’m, I’m begging you Jing one as my sister. Please keep quiet about this. Convince Johnny to do the same.

Yeah, you’re right, Brett. I was angry at you for the way that you treated Ava, and that’s why I started Investigat. I wanted to teach you a lesson,

and after the way Ava treated your grandmother, God rest her soul. Do you still feel the same way that you’d hurt your own father for her? No. No. What she did was horrible, unforgivable. I told you that woman was a menace and now she’s cost me my mother. Look, dad, I’m sorry. Okay. I I If, if, if me taking Ava’s side against you contributed in any way to, to have us losing Grandma.

Susan, I’m sorry

I didn’t blame you. So

I dunno. You know, I just feel like. If I would’ve done things differently, grandma Susan might still be alive.

I really am sorry, dad. It’s okay. It’s,

we both did things that we wish we could take back, but if there is, one thing I do know is that your grandmother would want us to put all of this behind us and be a family. Yeah, I want that too. But if we’re gonna move forward, and Uncle Stephan has a right to know what was done to him.

Sing one.

You know what it was like growing up in our house, the pressure father put on me.

I finally have everything I could ever want. Position of respect

the woman of my dreams.

But my life is in your hands. You never told father about the penalty. Please don’t tell Gabby about this. Tell me about what,

no, no, no. Jonah, you can’t tell s Stephan what was done to him. He’s got a right to know Dad, please. You need to think about it, Johnny, if you tell him, not only could I lose Dira Enterprises, but I could also go back to prison for my complicity. Please. I just lost my mother. Please don’t take anything else away from me.

Uh, we were just talking about gen who my hers first Love. Oh, would what can’t I know about Lee’s first left? I didn’t want you to be jealous, even though you’d have no reason to be. You sure about that? Because when I walked in, you had a pretty guilty look on your face. Oh, you misread my look. I was just glad to see your beautiful face.

That’s what I was him. That you don’t have to worry about my brother’s feelings for you, Gabby. You see, I can confirm that he would do anything to keep your heart. Good to know. Um, anyway, before I left, things were pretty heated between the two of you. Is everything okay? Probably was a little upset with me.

The most important thing is that Jing Wen and I have come to an understanding, I get why she took the jet and we’re ready to put this whole episode behind. Right. This,

what’s going on? Uh, my dad just told me about Grandma Susan. I can’t believe it. Very sorry for your loss, Johnny. Thank you. I thought I heard a tense conversation. Tense, Johnny, it sounded like you were blaming your dad for Susan’s death almost as if what happened was his fault. Oh, is that what you heard?

Just caught the tail end of it. I already told you. I’m guilty. I felt, aj, you don’t need to feel guilty. It’s abundantly clear that Ava was outta control. This whole mess is her fault. Johnny. Don’t blame your father. He needs you right now.

You’re right, you’re right. I’ve, uh, I’ve, I’ve been too hard on him. What’s done has done, and I know that he only wants what’s best for this family.

I admit, I, um, I went to a dark place there for a minute.

I do trust Eric and yes, Polly and Eric and I, and, and this baby on the way will be a family.

We’ll make it work. Eric, ready, have you speak to Nicole alone?

This is not how I imagined any of this going. I mean, we got what we wanted, right? My father and your brother admitted their complicity in the brainwashing of Stephan by Dr. Rolf. If we don’t keep quiet about it, my brother will lose everything. Yeah, my God. Lose everything too. And he’s. Uh, he’s already lost his mom.

My grandma, she died in the most awful way. Johnny, I’m so sorry about your grandma, especially her dying that way. It’s awful, like you said. Yeah, she was just, uh, she was such a sweet, caring person and just. Yeah, to think about, uh, what our last moments must have been like. Uh, it’s just, it’s so sad.

So we both agree we have to keep their secrets. Your dads and my brothers. Gabby and s Stephan can now you feel okay with that? No, not really. Me neither.

Did that kiss, Nick, you forget about Chan who? Chan who?

Pass. Doesn’t matter. Kevin, what matters is. Here us, there’s you and only you. I feel the same. The only thing that matters is us You.

So sorry for what you’re going through, rj.

It’s, it’s all this anger. I don’t know how to deal with it. Of course, you’re angry to lose your mother in that horrific and senseless way.

I know I mentioned this before, but I am here for you, brother. Whatever you need. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. If it happened to me, if somebody I loved deeply was taken from me, I know you do the same.

Oh, hi. Uh, sorry, I’m just on my way to the mailbox. Yeah. Oh, is that, uh, is that Lee and Cab’s RSVP card? Yeah. Uh, s Stephen and I will not be attending. See, yeah, we’re going away for the weekend, so there’s more room on the dance floor for you. And Kristen, I’m just assuming she’s your plus one. You know what?

Nevermind. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said anything. Do you know if Nicole’s at Basic Black, I need to run something by her? I, I would, I would wait a bit. Actually, I just came from the office and Eric was there to talk with her. Oh, is everything okay? I don’t know, but I got the sense that he was definitely upset about something.

What is going on? How could you, how could I What? What did you say to Jada? Jada? Tell me the truth. Nicole. Did you encourage Jada to have an abortion?

Update written by Joseph

Nicole works at Basic Black when she gets a call from Eric, who says he just wanted to check on how she was doing after their talk last night. Nicole says she’s fine and admits that Jada having his baby is unexpected, but says that’s not going to change anything between them like he said. Eric assures that he meant that. Nicole questions if Jada is really going through with the pregnancy. Eric says of course she is and asks why she wouldn’t. Nicole says she was just asking. Nicole then gets another call and quickly switches over before Eric can say I love you, leaving him frustrated.

Li goes to the Hernandez’ home to bring Gabi a pie since they didn’t have a dessert for Thanksgiving. Li suggests they could have a slice for breakfast if she hasn’t eaten yet. Gabi questions if he doesn’t have to be at work. Li says his schedule is pretty open this morning so Gabi invites him in. Gabi asks if he’s heard from his sister. Li says no and guesses she is still out of town with Johnny.

Johnny and Wendy return to Allie’s apartment and find nobody is home. Wendy says that’s good so they can talk. Johnny declares that Jakarta was a success since they got the information they needed from Dr. Rolf. Wendy points out that now they just have to decide who to confront with it first; her brother or Johnny’s dad.

EJ has a nightmare about Ava showing up in his bedroom and trying to shoot him. EJ then wakes up in a panic and tells himself that it was just a dream.

Johnny wishes they had the recording of Dr. Rolf admitting to brainwashing Stefan on Li’s orders. Johnny worries that EJ will just deny any involvement. Wendy figures Li will too. Johnny argues that they know that they did it and that they shipped Dr. Rolf out of the country to cover their tracks. Wendy still can’t believe her brother would do something so horrible. Wendy notes that she knows how much Li loves Gabi but this is over the line. Johnny points out that it could just as easily have been EJ’s idea since it’s his MO and with Stefan by his side, he had enough shares to oust Gabi and be exactly where he wants to be. Wendy points out that Li is too. Wendy says part of her thinks they should just drop it and let Li live his happily ever after, but she declares that she can’t stay silent knowing what she knows, so she has to confront him. Wendy checks her computer and finds out that Li is not logged in at work yet, so he must be with Gabi.

Li complains to Gabi that Wendy better show up to work today. Gabi tells him to relax and enjoy his breakfast, so they do. Li comments that Rafe throwing Nicole’s pie in the trash tells him that he must really be done with her. Gabi adds that she hasn’t seen Rafe this bent up since Sami cheated on him with EJ. Gabi doesn’t get why all the women in town keep stomping all over Rafe’s heart and she thought Nicole would be different. Gabi talks about Rafe and Nicole being friends first and how she liked Nicole. Gabi mentions that she was rooting for them to get together when Rafe was with Ava. Gabi then remarks that she is not going to miss Ava. Li says he’s sorry for what happened to Rafe. Gabi says she’s just surprised and asks who knew Nicole would hurt Rafe worse than Ava.

Nicole finishes a work call as Chloe then arrives with coffee. Nicole is surprised Chloe had time to stop by with her big new job at DiMera Corporate. Chloe says one of the things she has to do at her new job is oversee Basic Black. Chloe declares that she got Kristen’s old job while Kristen got her man.

Brady goes to the Brady Pub and gives Eric a box of cigars, saying he hears there’s reason to congratulate him. Eric guesses Marlena told him about the baby but Brady reveals that Nicole did. Brady reminds him that Nicole is one of his best friends. Eric is glad they can talk. Eric says the baby is obviously a blessing and very exciting but it’s thrown them for a loop a little bit. Brady understands it complicates his reunion with Nicole. Brady asks what the deal is with Jada. Eric responds that it’s over but he’s glad she decided to have the baby and they can co-parent. Brady states that it’s going to be Eric, Nicole, Nicole’s kid, Jada, and their kid. Brady is sure it will be more complicated than they’d wish but Eric and Nicole will work it out.

Johnny questions Wendy not wanting him to come with her to confront Li. Wendy says she’ll be fine. Johnny asks what if Li panics. Wendy assures that Li would never hurt her. Johnny questions how she can be so sure after Dr. Rolf tried to drug them in Jakarta. Wendy argues that they don’t know if Dr. Rolf was ordered to do that or if he went rogue. Johnny wants to find out and suggests they go confront EJ but Wendy reminds him that they agreed to split up and tells him to stick to the plan of divide and conquer.

EJ enters the living room of the DiMera Mansion and has a drink. Stefan is inside and asks if he’d rather have coffee, pointing out that he’s hungover. EJ remarks that he thinks he’s still drunk considering the amount he had yesterday. Stefan asks where this happened. EJ responds that he was at his mother’s crash site. Stefan asks if he was alone. EJ mentions that Rafe was with him for a bit, but then a bit later he saw Ava Vitali which Stefan questions. EJ says he was obviously hallucinating. Stefan says he’s sorry and he can’t imagine the pain he’s going through. Stefan tells EJ that if he needs anything, he’s there. EJ appreciates his kindness and says it was a great comfort that he and Chloe were there for him on the night it happened which was the worst night of his life. EJ tells him to send his gratitude to Chloe as well. Stefan agrees to let her know as he’s going to see her in a bit. EJ comments that Stefan and Chloe seem to be getting closer. Stefan admits that they are. EJ remarks that Gabi must be seething. Stefan confirms that Gabi is finding any opportunity to throw her wedding plans in his face. Stefan calls it a pathetic attempt to make him jealous. Stefan wishes Gabi would get it in her head that Chloe is the only woman on his mind.

Nicole tells Chloe that she knows her situation with Brady sucks, but suggests she imagine the look on Kristen’s face when she finds out that Chloe is still involved with Basic Black. Chloe mentions Brady thinking that Kristen had something to do with her promotion. Nicole asks what she thinks. Chloe says she was more interested in if Stefan had something to do with it, but Li said it was up to him and EJ. Nicole asks about Kristen. Chloe responds that Kristen apparently no longer works at DiMera, so she was given oversight of Basic Black to prove that. Chloe assures that she’s always suspicious of Kristen. Nicole still can’t believe that Brady broke up with Chloe and moved Kristen in to his home. Chloe talks about Brady thinking it’s what is best for Rachel. Chloe states that she and Brady have both moved on, so how Brady and Kristen raise their child is no longer her concern.

Eric jokes with Brady that he and Jada are not the first people to give co-parenting a shot. Brady compares it to their own family. Brady comments that raising a kid with an ex is not for everyone and doesn’t always make sense at all. Brady assures Eric that the only reason he moved Kristen in is it because it’s what’s best for their daughter. Eric questions there being no better option. Brady asks if he’d rather he move her in to the Kiriakis Mansion where she’d have another stab at Victor again. Eric admits he’s prefer that to Kristen going after Marlena again. Brady insists that he’s doing everything in his power to make sure that Kristen doesn’t hurt Marlena. Brady says they shouldn’t even be talking about him, because Eric is going to be a father. Brady tells him that this is going to change his life. Eric admits he’s scared, but happy, and he can’t stop thinking about it. Eric knows the circumstances are a little crazy, but he’s really happy.

Nicole asks if Chloe thinks she and Stefan are maybe moving a little fast. Chloe admits that her mother asked her the same thing, but she’s team Brady. Chloe complains that she’s not going to pine after some dude that wants to play house with the bride of Chucky. Chloe says that she and Stefan like each other and they are excited to see where things go. Nicole decides she is happy for her then. Nicole comments that they are both starting new chapters in their life as she reveals that she got back together with Eric, which surprises Chloe.

Gabi tells Li about Nicole leaving Rafe for her ex-husband and how Eric was the love of her life. Li thought their relationship was over and done with, questioning why she’d want to go backwards and rehash an old relationship when she had already made a commitment to someone else. Gabi questions if they are still talking about Rafe, or her, Li, and Stefan. Li admits that he can’t help but see the parallels since Nicole couldn’t stop obsessing about her ex since he came back. Gabi argues that they are nothing alike and questions him thinking that she’s obsessing. Gabi insists that once she got over the shock, she moved on with him. Gabi assures that she won’t make the same mistake as Nicole because Stefan is her past and Li is her future as they kiss. Li says he still has some extra time before work and they joke about checking out Gabi’s bedroom but they are interrupted by Wendy arriving. Gabi asks if everything is okay. Wendy responds that she needs to talk to her brother as it’s important.

Stefan tells EJ that the more time that he and Chloe spend together, the better it gets. Stefan sees a real future with her and thinks she feels the same way. EJ says that is wonderful to hear as he’s glad someone in the family has finally found happiness again. Stefan confirms that Chloe does make him happy. Stefan praises Chloe as strong and independent but also kind and compassionate. EJ calls Chloe a huge step up from Gabi. EJ talks about the lengths Gabi went to in order to take over DiMera Enterprises. Johnny then walks in and questions just how far EJ would go for control.

Gabi offers Wendy some pie but she says she’s not hungry. Wendy repeats that she really needs to talk to Li alone. Li complains that Wendy is being rude when this is Gabi’s home. Wendy says she’s sorry but it’s really important and can’t wait. Li tells Wendy to save it because Gabi already knows everything which Wendy questions. Li claims that he told Gabi exactly what she and Johnny have been up to.

EJ says thank God that Johnny is there as he’s been trying to reach him for days which Johnny questions. EJ informs him that he has something he needs to tell him. Johnny responds that he has something to tell him too. EJ says it will need to wait because this is important. Stefan decides to give them some privacy. Johnny says he doesn’t have to leave because of him but EJ says it’s best if they talk alone and thanks Stefan for understanding. Stefan then exits the room. Johnny comments that EJ sure was in a hurry to get Stefan out and questions if there’s something he didn’t want him to know. EJ responds that Stefan already knows and now unfortunately, he has to tell Johnny too. Johnny asks what is so important. EJ reveals he has some distressing news about his grandma Susan. Johnny asks if she’s okay. EJ then reveals that his grandmother is dead.

Eric asks Brady how Nicole was when he talked to her. Brady admits that she was a little on edge and that she said when Eric told her that Jada was pregnant, she stormed off and they hadn’t spoken since. Brady assumes that has changed. Eric confirms that he just spoke to her on the phone. Brady asks how Nicole took the news. Eric says he assured that nothing would change between them since he and Jada are having a baby but Nicole is the woman he loves and wants to be with, who will always have his heart.

Chloe questions Nicole ending her marriage with Rafe to get back with Eric. Nicole admits it wasn’t exactly in that order. Nicole brings up Chloe telling her for months to either commit to her marriage or end it. Nicole says she really tried to commit but when Eric came back to town, so did their connection. Chloe doesn’t think it ever left. Nicole admits she really messed up and instead of being brave and honest, she was a coward. Nicole knew that she was still in love with Eric when she married Rafe, so now Rafe is hurt, humiliated, and beyond angry and has every right to be. Chloe points out that Nicole didn’t set out to hurt Rafe while Eric didn’t set out to hurt Jada, but at least they aren’t married so their break up will be a lot easier. Nicole says not necessarily as she reveals that Jada is pregnant, so it won’t be such a clean break. Chloe is shocked and asks if Jada is keeping the baby. Nicole says she thinks so, but admits she might have advised her not to. Chloe questions Nicole telling Jada to have an abortion. Nicole says she would never do that, so Chloe asks what exactly she said. Nicole says she just pointed out that motherhood is a full time job and being tied to a man that’s in love with someone else is really difficult. Chloe points out that former couples raise children all the time. Nicole says that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Chloe says it’s still possible but Nicole argues that doesn’t mean they should do it. Chloe questions Nicole feeling like it was her place to tell Jada this. Nicole claims that if she was in Jada’s shoes, she would want someone to tell her. Chloe points out that it’s Jada’s life. Nicole claims that she was just trying to help encourage her to realize if this is something she really wants. Chloe questions her not having an agenda. Nicole talks about how hard it is to be a single mother and for Jada, it’s raising a baby with a man who broke up with her to be with a woman that she can’t stand. Chloe comments that people make it work. Nicole shouts that she will not lose Eric again. Chloe guesses that Nicole is afraid the baby will threaten her relationship with Eric. Nicole asks if she wouldn’t be, pointing out how Kristen used Rachel to come between Chloe and Brady. Chloe points out that Jada is no Kristen. Nicole complains that she and Eric have been through so much and are finally back together. Chloe points out that Eric didn’t get back with Jada after finding out about the baby. Nicole admits that Jada said she wasn’t going to fight for the relationship and Eric said the baby won’t change things. Nicole wants to believe that but no matter what Eric promises or how he intends for this to go, the truth is that when the baby is born, Jada and Eric will fall in love with it. Chloe points out that doesn’t mean with each other. Chloe assures that Eric loves Nicole, always has and always will. Nicole admits maybe she shouldn’t have said anything to Jada, but given the circumstances, she just thinks it’s best for everyone if there is no baby.

Brady encourages Eric that he and Nicole will work this out like they always do. Eric agrees that they can all raise a happy and healthy child who will be apart of a family that will love them unconditionally. Jada walks in to the Pub, so Eric greets her and introduces her to Brady. Brady congratulates Jada and says his daughter Rachel can’t wait to meet her new cousin. Brady talks about being an uncle and says to give him a call if they need anything. Jada thanks him and asks to talk to Eric. Brady congratulates them again and then exits the Pub. Eric comments on Brady’s excitement and asks what Jada wanted to talk about as he asks if everything is okay.

Johnny can’t believe Susan is dead and asks if he has told Sydney. EJ confirms that he called her at school this morning. Johnny asks how this happened. EJ reveals that Susan was kidnapped and held for ransom. EJ says he managed to track them down and they agreed to meet at the airfield where he would wire the ransom money for Susan’s release, but after the transfer went through, she turned the tables on him by dragging Susan away at gunpoint. EJ says he chased them, but she drove off the road. Johnny questions who did this. EJ reveals that it was Ava Vitali, which shocks Johnny.

Li comments on Wendy seeming surprised. Wendy says she is because she didn’t think he’d want Gabi to know about this. Li claims that he and Gabi have no secrets, so he told her what Wendy was up to the minute he found out which she questions. Li asks what Wendy has to say for herself. Gabi tells Li not to be so hard on his sister for playing hooky with a boy and calls it no big deal. Li argues that Wendy begged him for a promotion, finally gets one, and then takes off on the company jet. Gabi reminds Li that he said he wouldn’t overreact. Li complains that what Wendy did was outrageous, disrespectful, and irresponsible. Li brings up Wendy ignoring his calls and blowing off her new job. Wendy responds that she had a very good reason. Li says this ought to be memorable. Li thinks back to Dr. Rolf telling him that he was going to erase Wendy and Johnny’s memories. Li questions Wendy’s good reason for going to Indonesia with Johnny and why he shouldn’t fire her on the spot. Gabi encourages him to calm down. Li adds that his father is going to be furious about this. Gabi decides she will go get Li some herbal tea from the town square and hopes by the time she gets back, things will be straightened out, so she then exits. Li tells Wendy that she and Gabi have some girl power thing going, but she can’t save her from what’s coming. Wendy responds that she’s not the one that needs to worry about what’s coming. Li questions what she is talking about. Wendy reveals that it’s Gabi and Stefan, and what they are going to do when they find out what Li did to keep them apart.

Johnny questions Ava being dead which EJ confirms. Johnny calls it terrible and asks why Ava would even want to kidnap Susan. EJ calls her psychotic. EJ shouts that he tried to warn Johnny since he knew Ava was in the mafia. Johnny questions if EJ is blaming him and argues that Ava had put that behind her. EJ says obviously not as she was more than capable of vicious, homicidal acts. EJ then admits that Johnny couldn’t have known that Ava would take it that far. Johnny admits that he was stubborn, stupid, and wouldn’t listen. Johnny brings up that EJ banished Ava from Salem to protect him, but he fought him on it and defended Ava. EJ assures it had nothing to do with Johnny and was all about getting revenge on him. Johnny feels if he hadn’t got involved with Ava, none of it would’ve happened. EJ insists that it’s not his fault. Johnny tells EJ that he’s so sorry as they hug. EJ calls Susan a very special person and says they will find a special way to honor her. Johnny brings up Susan being the first person to realize when he was possessed. EJ comments on the Devil trying to erase her memory which Johnny remarks is kind of like EJ wanted Dr. Rolf to do to him in Jakarta.

Nicole shows Chloe her and Eric’s modeling photos. Chloe calls them the perfect couple and says the pictures are amazing. Stefan then arrives and jokes with her. Chloe asks how he knew she was there. Stefan says her assistant told him and asks if she’s too busy for breakfast. Chloe says she might can squeeze him in. Stefan invites Nicole to join but she tells them to go ahead since she has a lot of work to catch up on. Chloe tells Nicole that she will call her later and then exits with Stefan.

Gabi walks through the town square, telling herself that she has to get back to Li before he goes nuclear on his sister. Gabi then stops when she sees Stefan and Chloe sitting together in the town square. Chloe asks Stefan how EJ is doing. Stefan admits he’s not well as he got drunk yesterday at the site where Susan was killed and thought he saw Ava. Chloe is sure no one could have survived that. Stefan mentions Johnny being with EJ when he left. Chloe hopes it was a big comfort to have his son nearby…

EJ questions Johnny hurling ridiculous accusations at him after Susan died. Johnny says he’s sorry but it doesn’t change what he tried to do to him and Wendy. EJ questions what the hell Wendy has to do with this. Johnny informs EJ that he and Wendy went to Jakarta together to track down Dr. Rolf and they found him, so he knows everything. EJ questions what he thinks he knows. Johnny accuses EJ of telling Dr. Rolf to inject them with some memory erasing drug, but he didn’t because they stopped him. EJ asks if he’s sure he didn’t take any drugs because they sounds preposterous. Johnny shouts that it’s over and he can stop pretending, because they know what he tried to do to Stefan.

Li asks if Wendy is sure she’s feeling okay since jet lag can cause confusion. Wendy asks Li if he ordered Dr. Rolf to inject her and Johnny with a memory erasing drug. Li laughs that off and calls it absurd. Wendy says almost as absurd as him telling Dr. Rolf to brainwash Stefan in to hating Gabi so he could have her for himself. Wendy tells Li that despite his best efforts, she and Johnny still remember everything that Dr. Rolf told them. Wendy guesses from the look on Li’s face, that Dr. Rolf was clearly telling the truth.

Brady goes to Basic Black and finds Nicole, saying he thought he would find her here. Nicole asks where else she would be since she has no home and that’s her own fault. Brady brings up staying with Eric which Nicole points out would be right next door to his baby mama. Brady knows that could be awkward. Nicole asks if he’s talked to Eric. Brady confirms he just came from the Pub and that Eric loves her more than anything in the world. Brady adds that Eric is over the moon that they are back together. Nicole remarks that Eric is also over the moon that Jada is keeping the baby. Brady admits that Eric is looking forward to becoming a father and knows that’s hard for Nicole. Nicole calls it reality and guesses it’s something she has to get used to.

Eric sits with Jada in the Pub. Eric talks about buying books and wanting to know everything he can about the baby. Eric talks about how excited he is that Jada decided to keep the baby and for being a father. Jada then stops him and reveals there is no baby.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 jordan: Holly sutton this is your last chance. Exit the premises with your hands visible. I don’t like this. Mac, give the order to move in. Let me — hold on a second. Let’s give her a chance to do the right thing. She’s had a chance. Multiple ones, in fact. Time’s up.

[ Explosion ] I got to get in there. This is commissioner ashford. She could be hurt! Robert! Robert! No! I need bomb squad and fire department asap! It’s not safe! Robert! Mm. Mnh-mnh. But, babe, I promised n’neka. No, no, no. N’neka gets plenty of pies and all kinds of things from her savoy suitors. No, no, no. This — this pie right here is for terry. This is raise-worthy pie, honey. I-I know.

[ Squeals ] I baked it. With my sweet potato pie recipe.

[ Sighs ] Right. Right. Okay. Tell you what. I will surrender that piece of pie in exchange for something just as sweet. Oh. Well, that sounds good. Mm! Sneaking out? I’m starving. Olivia will kill us if we hold everyone up. Let’s go. I don’t care. Brook lynn, look at me. Yeah. Were you ever going to tell me about the ccrb letter you never wrote? I’m sorry. What? My mind was on pizza. The letter dante asked you write. The one that might give me a fighting chance of getting my badge back. Um, uh, cosmo, please. Excuse me. My bad. How was your thanksgiving? It was good. It was great. I had avery. Uh, um, get this lovely woman, um — will you put her drinks on my tab, please?

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s not necessary, but very nice. Thank you. And, so, um, how was your holiday? Oh, it was amazing. It had highs, lows. My mother, cranberry from the can. It was very traditional. But now it’s time to get my groove on. One more box to check. Which is? A little somethin’-somethin’. Mr. Cassadine, happy thanksgiving. Oh, and to you. Did you enjoy a family celebration earlier? Uh, just my nephew. Uh, sadly, I couldn’t gather the other cassadines together for a celebration of turkey and conviviality.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I’m sorry. Oh, please, don’t shed any tears on my account. That’s all gonna be changing going forward. I hope soon to have the incentive my family needs to come together. Holly! Holly! I’m coming! I’m co– mate, you gotta let me go. Let me go! Hey! It’s okay. It’s okay, I got you. I won’t let anything happen to you. Robert! Robert, is she… it’s holly. Holly.

[ Sirens wailing in distance ] She… she… no!

[ Sirens wailing ] Secure the area. Extend the cordon at least one mile back. Canvass the cabins and find out if anyone saw or heard anything. Mac: Come on, let them do their job. Come on! Paramedic: Sir, we need you to move away. Let’s go. Stand up. Come on! Let me go! They’re taking care of her. Come on! You can’t help her like this! She needs me! Paramedic: We need to move her or she’s not gonna make it. Family can be so troublesome and ungrateful. I’ve been tempted to disavow myself of the whole lot.

[ Chuckles ] Not so easily done, I’m afraid. Biological imperative — it compels us to protect our clan, no matter how sorry a bunch they might be. It seems we have much in common, mr. Cassadine. May I call you victor? If I may call you selina. Well, victor, I’d like to continue our conversation. Perhaps we can compare notes. Well, I never associated thanksgiving with trysts.

[ Chuckles ] Most people just want to nap. Well, when you’re in my position, you carpe diem and carpe dictum. What position is that? Hard-up. I-I’ve been without since, um [Chuckles] Jason, and before him, there was one forgettable wham-bam with jax, and then a flingy-thing with your brother. I mean, I haven’t had relationship sex since… wow, um, oh, 2014 with your husband. I’m not surprised. I’m a tough act to follow. Right, ava? You! With me. So, what did you think of our first family thanksgiving?

[ Squeals ] Definitely deserving of high marks. Yeah? And the food, ugh, was fantastic.

[ Groans ] So good! Oh, and I even overheard your father telling stella that his son’s turkey was so good.

[ Laughs ] You can’t blame the man for having good taste. I mean, it’s true. It’s true. I’ll give you that. You know, I’m just so grateful that — I’m grateful that I have a father to fuss with, you know? Mm. Tommy never got that chance. And I intend to make the most of mine. Just in case this disease tries to take my father away from me again. What are the chances it rears back up? Did you pull guard duty? I’m just sitting here minding my own business, cleaning my clarinet. In the cold? I’m wearing a sweater. Curtis busted my chops every time I came near the kitchen and strongly suggested I could keep you company. I figured boredom would drive you out here sooner or later. Hm. And I thought curtis and i were making progress. Yeah, he means well. I know, but it’s not like I’m out here asking to be attacked by a freak with a hook. I just need to breathe. I’m climbing the walls being shut up most of the time. I know the feeling. Been there, done that. Dante told you about the letter? Yeah, he assumed I knew. Figured you looped me in. Just hadn’t found the time to get it written yet, what, with making music and scamming linc. Well, we’ve been crazy busy, right? Mm-hmm.I mean, every day, all day I am hustling for every hour that you perform, setting up interviews and — and promos. I mean, I can barely even breathe. Yeah, it’s a lot of work. You’ve really thrown yourself into it. Yeah. You know, letting all my responsibilities at deception slide. So maybe you wanted to. And you just couldn’t find the time. Or maybe you thought you — you did tell me. Or maybe you even drafted the letter, but you didn’t want to spring it on me until it was perfect. Huh? I mean, I’d — I’d understand anything, brook lynn. Just tell me. When were you gonna let me know that dante asked you to write a letter to the civilian complaint review board recommending that I get my badge back? Never?

Look, I meant to tell you once we got linc. That’s not a sure thing. Well, neither is my letter. Dante said your account of my run-ins with valentin and linc would go a long way at getting me right with the board. But what was to stop linc from having his say? I mean, that liar could deny everything. Look, your best shot at getting your badge back is after we beat linc and expose him for the skeeze that he is. Once we prove that he has no credibility, that’s when you could march into the ccrb with my letter and — and prove that you never gave up on law and order just because law and order gave up on you. That timetable doesn’t work, which I could have told you if you would have let me in on what was happening. But you didn’T. Chase. I can’t think of a single reason why you wouldn’t just tell me. There’s only one good reason! The only reason that i needed. Us. I didn’t mean to compare being shut up at home with family to what you went through when you were hospitalized. Let’s see. You can’t leave when you want to. Your mother and curtis watch your every move. You can’t see the man in your life — officer cabrera. We share enough similarities to make us understand one another. I don’t think I could ever really understand what you went through. And I hope you never do. You don’t talk about it much. You know, um… right. Having schizophrenia. Why dwell on yesterday when today is so rich and tomorrow so bright? Honey, I-I can’t tell you if marshall is gonna have another schizophrenic episode. I’m not a psychiatrist. I-I’m not even — I’m not even up on the latest science, really. Marshall said that he never had an episode. Well, not since the arrest, which led him to be institutionalized in the first place. Maybe he caught a break. Like me, dodging the genetic markers my father has. You two are so cute. Look at you, all coupled up. Wedded bliss.

[ Chuckles ] Aren’t we, though? I saw your mother s-somewhere over there, britt. My mother says marriage is for the bourgeois. I don’t know. I-I think it would be kinda nice if my significant other knew what toppings I liked on my hot dog, or took the wine glass out of my hand when I fell asleep on the couch. Someone who would throw me a birthday party and serve my favorite cake. Or just say “happy birthday.” You never had a birthday party?

[ Chuckles ] No. No birthday party, no husband. There — there’s still time, britt. Yeah. Yeah. Ain’t it the truth? Yeah. Uh, will you get me and my friends another round? Your nephew appears occupied with his wife.

[ Sighs ] Soon-to-be ex-wife. I’m sorry to hear that. Oh, please don’t be. It was an imprudent match from the beginning. Harmful to both of them and never meant to last. Love rarely is. But that alone never stopped anyone fighting for it. I’m here, holly. I love you, baby. Just hang in there. How bad? She has obvious second- and third-degree burns over 75% of her body. The burn unit at G.H. — Is good, but she needs better. We’re taking her to an airfield. Radioed ahead for a medevac. But… I’m coming with you. No, no, no. You’ll crowd the paramedics. I’ll drive you to the field. Get out of my way before I belt you one. No. Robert! Go. What? But — this is a crime scene. I need my chief of detectives. Robert, move.

Her,you’re lucky, no matter what the reason is. And I just hope some of that luck rubs off on trina.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] I can’t wait for esme to be brought to justice. Me too. Speaking of trina, where is she?

[ Sighs ] You have a way of putting things in perspective. Oh. Everybody has their burdens, but no one carries it with grace such as yours. Hey, pop, the game’s coming on. I know you don’t want to miss it. Uh… [ Chuckles ] Sure, sure. I guess you’re gonna watch the game with me? Oh, oh, yes. I’m definitely watching. And enjoy the pie. The pie? Is that the last piece of pie? I don’t believe this. Portia: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. Your loss. I just thought it would take the edge off after being caught in my net. You kept me in the dark about my best chance of getting my badge back… for us? Chase. You and me… I have never had this before. I mean, I’ve been with other guys and not exactly snow white, but…true intimacy? Not once. I was starting to think I wasn’t capable of a true connection, and then — then you came along, and I realized that not only is intimacy possible, but it is here… …between me and you. And since the first day we started working together, it has only gotten deeper and stronger. Look, if — if I don’t get linc, if I never get my songs back, if I never expose him as the creep that he is, I-I’d be okay. I’d be frustrated and disappointed, but… I’d still be okay, because the true gift is every minute I get closer to you. And I thought that you felt the same way. I do. Well, that’s why I didn’t tell you about the letter. I-I thought that — that everything we were doing together was better than anything we’ve done alone. I thought that, given enough time, you’d forget about the badge and just… …what you always wanted would be here with me.

[ Voice breaking ] Just tell me I’m right. I thought we were getting along better. Am I still in a hole for punching scott? I was moved by your apology, as well as britta’s endorsement of you. My feelings for you are immaterial. Only britta’s matter. She’s a fundamentally lonely person yearning for what she’s never had… someone to rely on. And now is no time to look for a substitute. She cannot do with a romantic distraction. She needs her mother. I acknowledge, however, that britta’s headstrong. You — you and I both know she behaves contrary to wisdom and you, mr. Bell, are persistent. So… if it’s money you want, it’s money you shall have. Hey, um… be my wingmen. You know, help me scope out the sponge-worthy. Whoa, hey. Are you okay? Why don’t we sit down, huh? Is there a problem? No, I’m — I’m fine. I just slipped. Have you been overserved? I had one drink! Come with me. Don’t — don’t touch me. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, up! And off we go. I got you. I got you. Come on. Here we go.

[ Sighs ]

[ Ambulance doors open ] We’re here. Got the all-clear?

[ Groans ]

[ Gasps ] You all right? Right as rain! All fired up!

[ Laughs ]

This singing thinghas been a pleasant surprise. I’ve — I’ve had fun, more than I thought I would. And it’s not just the — the performing or the — the celebrity — it’s — it’s you. I never would have even tried to be chase the singer with anyone else. Well, you’ve got me, so there’s no problem. No, the problem is I am not chase the singer. That’s just some — some face I was wearing. It’s not — it’s not mine. But it could be! Look, I’ve seen you when you get up on stage. You come alive. You’re so in the moment when you sing. And right when I’m done, I’m checking my news feed. I have this weird fantasy that I’m the one who finds brando’s killer. That I could still do some good at the pcpd. Look, you can. I never expected you to give up the cop forever. Just put him on mute for a little while. Until I forget the sound of my voice altogether? You know what? Maybe — maybe you’re right. I can forget being a cop, focus all my energy on singing, given enough time. It could happen. But it would have to be my own choice. Do you get that? And you took that away from me. I thought we had an understanding after we discussed boundaries. And I thought I’d given you a wide berth. Doesn’t really feel that way. We agreed that I wouldn’t go behind your back and butt into your life. I did that. I even refrained from butting in from the front. You know, I’m up for a nobel peace prize.

[ Scoffs ] Which you’ll lose after assigning your father to guard me. Hey, all I did was set up a watch to keep eyes on esme prince. You know, a man is allowed to protect his castle and all who reside in it. Trina’s not going anywhere. Okay. [ Chuckles ] She’s just feeling — feeling hemmed in. Well, thank you for talking to her and helping her get some of that out. Hey.

[ Chuckles ] I was gonna ask you a question. Would you mind possibly playing for us tonight? Sure, sure! If you like. I-I would. Yeah, I-I actually would.

[ Chuckles ] Good. Does your illness ever, I don’t know, get in the way of your playing? Marshall, I’m so sorry. I don’t mean to keep going down this road. No. No. That’s my fault. I’m sorry. No, it’s okay. That’s okay. No one’s — no one’s ever asked. The only way schizophrenia got in between me and my music is when I had to go underground… mm. …To protect my family from the stigma. So…it never inhibited your performance? Nah. Nah, just my ambitions. Mm. Well…

[ Chuckles ] Why all the questions? Still no go-ahead from the firefighters to enter the cabin. Any idea what caused the explosion? The preliminary theory is a faulty stove. I need to get my people inside. Hopefully there’s some evidence to explain holly’s strange behavior. Maybe this will help. The firefighters pulled it out. What is it? The remains of robert’s briefcase. The one he put the necklace in. So where’s the necklace? Mm. Thanks for the clothes. Oh, great. I see I got the sizes right. Oh, and I have your new passport and your international driver’s license. You feel better? Yeah. Just a little singed around the edges. Now, that was something. Mm. I’m just sorry that you and mac had to see that. I can imagine what it looked like. The danger was minimal. Holly and I had worked it out to a tee. And thank you for that.

Felicia was waiting

for me when I arrived

at the cabin last night… come on in.

…With fireproof

garments… special headpiece. Right. Right.

…And fire-retardant gel

to make the ruse look real. Put it on your face. And you don’t have hair spray?

Felicia

brought instructions

on how to rig the stove

at the appointed time…

[ Speaks indistinctly ]

…Et voil! Holly flambé! I just can’t believe that you were able to work this out as fast as you did. No choice. We were operating on victor’s timetable, but I couldn’t just hand him over the necklace. But you couldn’t defy him, either. No. Ethan would have paid the price. Robert and i faked his “drugging” so I would have the opportunity to “steal” the necklace and then lead a trail to the cabin for the pcpd to follow. See, it only works when you’ve got a credible witness to her injuries. Ethan’s only chance of survival is if victor believes I’m of no more use to him.

[ Chuckles ] You’re willing to pay me to stay away from britt? I’m prepared to offer you six figures. I don’t want your money, liesl. I just want what, by right, should belong to me. Dominique’s inheritance. Yeah. Then I wanted something else. Not something, someone. My daughter. I thought I could have both. But, man, did I misjudge that situation. Now it looks like I can’t have either. Maybe all I really want is britt. But you’ll be happy to know, liesl, that I blew it big time. Your daughter wants nothing to do with me. Perhaps britta has learned some wisdom, after all. But you can tell britt that I can take “no” for an answer. And I can take living hand to mouth. So you can keep your money. And don’t worry about my dogging britt. I’m not gonna go where I’m not wanted. Yeah. I’ll make sure she knows that. I’m sure you will. One more thing. What’s wrong with britt? Why are you willing to go broke just to keep me away from her? Sorry. Answers were never on offer. Here we go. All right. Get off! I’m gonna call your mother. Leave her out of this! Leave me alone! I’m getting you a cab. No. I — this is ridiculous. I had one drink. Yeah, not counting the drinks you had on the way over here. I can handle my liquor. But you can’t even stand up straight unaided. Oh, wait a minute. This… this isn’t alcohol, is it? You’re sick.

Your uncle victor won’t be very pleased… seeing you consorting with the enemy. How many times do I have to tell you? I have no intention of divorcing you. Well… I had no intention of becoming bait for the pcpd, but sometimes one never knows what the day may bring. What are you talking about? Mac scorpio. He thinks that ryan chamberlain can lead the cops to esme if I convince him to. Faison’s legacy has — oh, shut up about that!

[ Grunts ] Touch my daughter and I’ll kill you. Everyone, calm down! You touch me once more… all right. Let’s take a walk, big fella. He’s gonna –he’s gonna tell people. Victor wouldn’t dare. There’s a special place in hell for men like that. The ninth circle. I’ve heard it said. Robert: The car’s untraceable. Drive it across the border into canada, and with your new I.D., You’ll disappear. Victor will follow up. Well, witnesses will recall that there was a woman placed in a medevac. Yours truly. They’ll drop me off outside port charles. And then flight plans will indicate that holly sutton was transferred to a plane transporting her to a burn clinic halfway across the world. Very private, very secure. Reports will have you comatose with a long, difficult recovery. And victor, he’ll probably lose interest, leaving you free to rescue your son. I won’t squander your efforts. I promise. I — we know that. Thank you for all that you’ve done on my behalf and my son’S. I just wish we hadn’t had to leave mac in the dark. Well, this way he can’t lie to jordan about you. Besides, he would be the first one to agree that you’re worth it.

[ Chuckles ] How can I ever repay you? Get your son back. And get victor! Working on it. Selina: Interesting. Satisfied? I’d prefer the entire necklace. That’s all that’s available. And only in exchange for a guarantee that victor cassadine ingests this. Can it be done? I see him at the savoy on occasion, but I can’t have the club associated with a death. If I wanted victor dead, he’d be dead. But he’ll only feel the effects of this drug if the circumstances arise or don’T. What did victor do to earn your animosity? He fancies himself a family man whilst he’s holding my son a hostage. I’ll never get ethan back if victor is dead. But in the meantime, a dose of this will pay him back in kind. There’s a special place in hell for such men. The ninth circle. Will you do it? You have my word. On her. And my word is my bond. You’re not my prisoner, trina. I just want to make sure that you are safe and sound while you’re here at home. If you don’t like my rules… they’re only temporary. But I do need you to respect them just as I respect your boundaries. And while I hope this doesn’t compromise the friendship that we decided to try out, I’ll understand if it does. Two steps forward, one step back is still progress. Fork? Fork. Yes. Hey. But don’t squander that progress.

[ Chuckles ] I made that pie. From my mom’s recipe.

[ Both laugh ] I guess I’m just curious

[Chuckles] That none of your previous doctors even suggested genetic counseling or screening like curtis had. This stuff wasn’t around when I was in the hospital. Yeah, but nowadays, things like that are pretty much commonplace. Ha ve you ever — you know, maybe, have you ever considered it? Was the point? I already have a diagnosis. What would “genetic counseling” tell me that I don’t already know? The only way that I could ever become “the singer” is if I decided that for myself. But you never gave me that option. I thought you wanted it as much as I did. What? To take down linc? Sure. But you knew how bad I wanted to return to the pcpd. So when dante asked you to write the letter, you didn’t tell me because you knew I’d be all for it! I never thought of it like that. Yeah, I know. But I’ve been where you are — making decisions for others, and personal experience showed me just how wrong I was. I did it with willow. Okay, so that’s it? You’re hanging up the mic? Okay, I get it. No, no, no, you don’T. It is not just the mic. It’s us! Yes, my singing career is over, but so are we!

You can’t put yourself in ryan’s presence. He is too dangerous. Ryan is a turnip. And a-any danger would be worth protecting trina. Nikolas, if esme is out there killing people, I have to do whatever I can do to try to stop her. Even if it means I — I pay the price for her going over the parapet. Or you do. What would be the benefit after all these years to get confirmation of what I already know?

[ Door opens ]

[ Both chuckles ] Oh, well, look at this.

[ Laughs ] Somebody enjoyed the pie I see. Yeah, that I barely got to taste. Aw. Hey, pop, you ready to watch some football? Let’s do this. Curtis: Yes. No. Chase, think about what you’re saying. You’re the most exciting person I’ve ever met. You made me feel like the luckiest guy alive. You made me feel the same way. But then we went in on this plan to expose linc and it muddied things up for the both of us. I mean, we should have just set boundaries. Either work together as singer and manager, or just two people that couldn’t get enough of each other. But not both. Because now we don’t work as anything. Look, that’s not true. We can work this out. Brook lynn, you lied to me! You kept me from the thing that makes me who I am. There’s nothing to work out, all right? It’s over!

[ Sobbing ] Everything’s fine. I could swallow my drink, but then suddenly my feet went out from under me. I’m so sorry, liebchen. Let’s go home, hm? W-why haven’t you ever thrown me a birthday party? I did. I m– I must have some time. No. No? No, you didn’T. I’m gonna throw myself the birthday party to end all parties. If I’m going down, I’m going down dancing. Even if I’m dancing on my own. So, this is…goodbye? I’m sorry. For everything. Most of all, I’m sorry for coming back to you, only to leave again. If there was any other way… there isn’T. This isn’t our moment.

[ Chuckles ] Never is. I recall a cer– goodbye, robert. Um, aren’t you forgetting something? Mm. Hmm. Mm. I actually meant something else. Oh? The necklace. None of the firefighters report seeing a necklace. Call csu. We need them to conduct their own search. We need to make sure nobody walked out with it. You know, it’s possible holly ditched the necklace or handed it off to victor before holding up. Or she had it on her when she left with the paramedics. I’ll checked with robert.

[ Exhales sharply ] It’s possible the necklace got destroyed in the fire. A diamond necklace? A hot enough fire could turn diamond to ash. The necklace might be gone for good. The wsb’s gonna be pissed.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh.

[ Chuckles ] The necklace. Oh. Almost forgot. Why did victor want this so badly? What is so special about it? It came from the ice princess itself. And I think it’s got something to do with the diamonds. The ice princess has a bad habit of destroying those who covet it. Be careful. I’m always careful, love. Except with your heart. Be seeing you.

Billy: I’m not trying to be harsh, but you’re overstepping.

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

Chance: Victor. Good to see you. How you doing?

Victor: What’d you do to my daughter?

Nate: Hey. I’ve been meaning to give you a call. I haven’t seen you around here much since I started.

Nick: Yeah, I’ve been working on other projects.

Nate: I would love to hear about them. Why don’t we get together for lunch?

Nick: I can’t today.

Nate: It doesn’t have to be today.

Nick: I’m booked solid, nate.

Nate: Okay. What can I do for you?

Nick: Look, we’ve known each other a long time. We’ve always been on good terms. I can’t say I was a fan of what you tried to pull at chancellor-winters, but I’m glad you were able to get another job. I’m not pleased with my sister that it was this job, though. If it were up to me, sally spectra would still be ceo of newman media.

[ Door opens ]

Chloe: I’ve been doing some research into ways we can jump-start our new fashion line. You are going to love this.

Sally: Chloe —

Chloe: With your talent and my business acumen and nick’s funding, we’re too good to fail.

Sally: That is what he said.

Chloe: See? Then it must be true.

Sally: Right before I turned down his offer of a loan. Find your beat

Victoria: Your goal is to weasel your way into my son’s life, even after billy obviously told you he wants nothing to do with you. So, if you happen to see him, don’t say anything. Don’t approach him. Just walk away.

Chelsea: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Billy: Chelsea? Hey. Chelsea. Hey. Hi.

Chelsea: What are you doing here?

Billy: It’s okay. It’s alright.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: Just take a breath. Just take a deep breath.

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

Billy: You okay? I knocked. I don’t — I don’t know if you heard it or not. But your door was open, so i just, uh… I wanted to check up on you.

Chelsea: [ Exhales sharply ]

Billy: You okay? You — you seem a little upset.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah. Yeah. You know, laundry.

Billy: Yeah. Not high on my list, either.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: I just wanted to come and say hi, see — see if everything was alright. You know, I didn’t see you yesterday for thanksgiving dessert.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. Um…

[ Breathes deeply ] Um, I — I spent some time with connor and, um, adam, and then i didn’t feel like doing any more of the holiday, you know?

Billy: Mm.

Chelsea: But I’m good. I’m okay. Really.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: You know, you don’t have to pretend with me. You know? We can — we can just sit here and talk,

w some fresh air. We can go downstairs and grab a tea, or I can help you sort through your laundry. But you don’t have to push me away.

Chelsea: Okay. I don’t know. I was just sitting here and all these dark thoughts started coming and — and I-I didn’t have anyplace for them to go.

[ Breathes deeply ]

Billy: So you told me what you thought I wanted to hear.

Chelsea: Why won’t these painful thoughts go away?

Chloe: I can’t believe you turned down nick’s loan without consulting me.

Sally: Well, you know I never felt good about it. I promised I’d consider it, and I did. But in the end, it just really didn’t feel like the right move.

Chloe: I get it. I — I do. I really do, but you have to understand that —

Sally: Okay, no, I know. And also, in the interest of full disclosure, there’s something else that you should know. I don’t want to start a fashion line.

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Um… what do you want to do?

Sally: Well, I have an idea. But I do not want to get in the way of your career goals. You’re brilliant. You’re driven. I love working with you, and anyone would be so lucky to have you as a partner.

Chloe: What is this? Wait, are you breaking up with me?

Sally: [ Stammers ] That is up to you. I totally understand if you want to walk away. But I really hope that you continue working with me while we conquer a brand-new field.

Nate: You’ve been honest about how you felt about my predecessor. It’s only fair I do the same.

Nick: I appreciate that.

Nate: Based on everything I’ve seen since I’ve started here, sally was kind of a visionary. I looked at the policies she implemented, the way she was trying to bring different threads of the company together. I got to say, I was impressed. Now, don’t get me wrong. I am grateful for this opportunity. But from what I observed, sally didn’t deserve to be let go. That was victoria’s call, not mine. And like I told sally, I didn’t come looking for this job.

Nick: Yeah. You were aiming to run chancellor-winters. But this job fell in your lap because you were willing to sacrifice your family’s legacy to help my sister… and yourself.

Abby: I packed some of his favorite toys in here.

Devon: Thank you very much.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Appreciate it.

Abby: [ Sighs heavily ] So, um, is it just me, or does this feel a little…

Devon: A little awkward?

Abby: Yeah. I mean, I know we’ve done this drop-off thing, like, a hundred times, but for some reason, this feels a little weird.

Devon: Yeah, it does a little bit, huh?

Abby: Yeah. So, what do we do? Do we stick to talking about strictly childcare? Or do we talk about how our lives are going off the rails?

Devon: We should probably talk about us, right? Hi, I’m darlene

Billy: You know, I don’t have a definitive answer for why you’re having these feelings or these thoughts. But I do know that you haven’t had an easy life. You know, you haven’t had a lot of people in your life that are reliable or stable. You had to run all those cons, you know? You had obstacles to overcome. And your brain is reacting to the life that — that you’ve lived. In a way, it’s — it’s, you know, creating these tools to help you survive.

Chelsea: Yeah. I guess that makes sense.

Billy: And, look, I’m no therapist. We know that. So take everything I’m saying with a grain of salt. But I would imagine that your brain still thinks that you’re living on the edge. And it’s telling you that you’re in danger, and you’re in self-preservation mode.

Chelsea: That does sound familiar.

Billy: You know, it’s almost like a fire alarm. It’s — it’s — it’s going off, and it’s blaring, but there’s no smoke and there’s no fire. You’re not really in danger, but it’s telling you that you are. And it just does not stop. The sound — it’s annoying, and it just becomes really exhausting.

Chelsea: The worst. It’s like you know exactly what I’m going through.

Billy: Unfortunately, right now, it just — it is what it is. You know, you’re dealing with an illness right now, and it’s not gonna be easy to get past it. You know, that depression — it can come on fast, it can come on hard, and it can change your feelings and your behaviors. But I think what’s important is that you — you try really hard not to let it take your power. You got to not let the pain and the fear lead. You got to push through that.

Chelsea: It’s easier said than done, billy.

Chance: I’m sorry. What exactly have you been told?

Victor: What’s going on in your marriage to abby?

Chance: Look, victor, our marriage is a private matter. If abby would like to confide in you, she can. That’s fine. But I don’t feel comfortable sharing that information with you.

Victor: Now, chance, if neither you nor abby will me what’s going on… I’m going to ask devon.

Chance: Devon?

Victor: Last night I saw abby at society. She was very upset. Then suddenly devon came in. She greeted him rather warmly. Felt very comfortable with him. What’s going on?

Nate: It’s easy to judge the players after watching five minutes of what’s happening on the field. But you’re missing a lot that transpired in that locker room way before you showed up.

Nick: Well, you could also say in times of crisis we show our true colors. What you tried to pull with chancellor-winters goes against everything I ever thought I knew about you.

Nate: Then I look forward to proving to you that I am still a decent person.

Nick: Good luck with that. I mean it. I’ve seen this kind of transformation before. I experienced it myself when i started dark horse. That kind of power can be addictive and dangerous. But here’s the thing, nate. Getting the big chair — it rarely is as satisfying as you think it’s going to be because there is simply no endgame. You always want more. Hey! It’s me! Your dry skin!

Nate: I appreciate the warning, nick. But there’s a world of difference between the two of us. I wasn’t raised to lead a billion-dollar empire from the moment I drew my first breath. I never wanted power. All I wanted was knowledge.

Nick: So, you didn’t feel powerful when you knew you were the only person in the world who could save a patient’s life?

Nate: I got into medicine because I wanted to help people. This position is just another way for me to find purpose and do some good.

Nick: You can keep telling yourself that, nate, but I’m telling you, you can become addicted to that rush of power. And like any addiction, the high feels great. Until it consumes you, and then you crash and take everyone down with you.

Nate: Oh, come on, nick. Nothing like that is going to happen.

Nick: Well, we’ll see, won’t we? But unfortunately I just don’t think I can trust the man you’ve become, and I think that’s sad.

Chloe: Okay, I’m waiting for the punch line. You haven’t told me what you want to do, you have absolutely no funding, and you want me to be your ride-or-die on this insane adventure.

Sally: Yeah. We’re good together.

Chloe: Yeah, I love working with you, too.

Sally: Okay. So…you on board?

Chloe: I can’t believe I’m gonna say this… but yes. Before we move forward, I just want to know one thing. How did nick take the rejection?

Sally: He understands.

Chloe: Of course he did. The amazing nick newman understands everything.

Sally: [ Scoffs ]

Chloe: Look, I’m joking, but

[Sighs] Aren’t you glad you chose the brother who’s capable of honest, human emotion?

Sally: Okay, adam has emotions. He just has a different way of showing them.

Chloe: Don’t tell me that you’re waffling.

Sally: No, I’m just saying that adam is…human. Okay, but there’s no way that he could care more about me than he does about his own ego and his need to win.

Chloe: Great. Because I am going to need all of your attention devising an entirely new business plan from scratch.

Sally: Well, I wouldn’t say from scratch. Like I said, I… have an idea.

Chance: Well, I’m glad she has someone to lean on right now ’cause we are having a difficult time.

Victor: Well, for your information, I don’t know of a marriage that isn’t going through a difficult time, you know? In that case, you just pull it together, work things out.

Chance: Yeah. Wish it was that simple.

Victor: So, what’s the problem?

Chance: Well, your daughter… she thought that I was putting work over family. I think it’s been a long time coming, actually. In retrospect, we got married too soon, spent too much time apart.

Victor: Whoa. I had no idea. You love her?

Chance: Yeah, I do, and i probably always will. But I have to accept that the most loving thing to do right now is to let her before things get worse.

Victor: What are you not telling me?

Abby: How’s dom?

Devon: He is sleeping like a champ. How are you? How you doing?

Abby: [ Sighs heavily ] Thanksgiving was challenging. And it was weird not spending the day with chance, like, as a family. And after I left society, I was supposed to go over to the ranch, but I just — I didn’t feel up to it. So dominic and I spent the evening alone.

Devon: Spent it alone. Why didn’t you come over here? You know you could have.

Abby: You were spending the day with your family. And besides, I knew there would be questions, questions that i am…not ready to answer yet.

Devon: Have you and chance talked at all?

Abby: He doesn’t want to talk to me. He sends messages through the nanny, dom-related issues only.

Devon: I mean, he’s understandably upset. So it’s gonna take him some time to come around.

Abby: That doesn’t mean he’s gonna wantco

Devon: No, but it doesn’t mean he’s not, either. I don’t believe that he’s just gonna throw away your marriage, abby.

Abby: I keep trying to convince chance of that, but he is adamant.

Devon: Yeah, I know what that’s like. Well, listen. Even if you guys don’t get back together — and that’s still a big “if” — I know the two of you will figure out how to co-parent because you guys love dominic so much.

Abby: Thank you for saying that. I’m just really happy that we can still be open and honest with each other because if i lost that on top of everything else, I don’t know what I would do.

Devon: Abby, you will never lose that. I promise you. Even though we can’t take back what we did, we can make sure that it doesn’t ruin our friendship… or the way we raise our son.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Billy: You know, chels, learning to take control, it’s — it’s not easy. It’s, uh… I mean, it’s a process. And it’s baby steps. I mean, for instance, you know, take yesterday with johnny, right? I mean…I don’t know if he’s ready to build a relationship with you, but you two had a great conversation, right?

Chelsea: Yeah.

Billy: Right, and that was all him. Nobody — nobody told him to do that. That was him, and that was a conversation that, you know, a week ago, you would have never dreamed of happening.

Chelsea: It was great.

Billy: Right.

Chelsea: For me. But was victoria upset?

Billy: Victoria’s gonna have to take her baby steps, too, but I will tell you th w

Chelsea: Did you tell her about me? Where I was? What I almost did?

Billy: I told her some of it, yeah. But to be honest, I don’t know exactly what connor told johnny. I thought it was fair that victoria know what he was reacting to.

Chelsea: Yeah.

Billy: You know, we’re really proud of him for taking those steps on his own. And you’re gonna do the same. I believe in you. And no matter what your brain is trying to tell you right now, you do have the ability to develop healthy ways to push through.

Chelsea: Yeah.

[ Sighs heavily ] I’m okay.

Billy: Good. And no matter what anybody tells me, or you for instance, I’m not going anywhere, okay? I’m gonna be here for you, whether it’s downstairs for a scone or a quick little phone call, okay? My point is…

[ Cellphone pings ] One second. Hold on.

Chelsea: Everything okay?

Billy: Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I’m just meeting lily for a coffee. But before I go, let me say this. I think your brain is trying to protect you by telling you to push people away, but you got to override the system because there are a lot of people that love you and care about you and want to help you.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chelsea: Hi.

[ Sighs ]

Chloe: I am glad that you texted. It has been way too long.

Chelsea: Yeah. A lot has happened. Come on in.

Chloe: I know. We have so much to catch up on, starting with, how did you end up living in this place?

Chelsea: Uh, well [Clears throat] Moving here was a byproduct of some… pretty major events.

Chloe: Oh, nothing bad, i hope? I ran into adam. He was looking for you. HeI spent thanksgiving with him and connor, actually.

Chloe: Oh. That’s nice.

Chelsea: Yeah, it was. There reason he was having trouble finding me is that I was in the hospital.

Chloe: Were you sick? Did you get in an accident?

Chelsea: I was there for some mental-health issues.

Chloe: What? What happened?

Chelsea: Um…over the past few months, I’ve been just spiraling down a very dark, very deep hole, and I couldn’t find my way out of it.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] You know, when you ended our partnership, I knew that you were struggling, but I didn’t know it was this serious. I haven’t been there for you. I’m so sorry. I feel so guilty.

Chelsea: Don’T. I hid this from everyone until it finally just exploded. I wish I had thought to confide in my best friend. I mean, no one would have understood better than you.

Chloe: Absolutely. I’m so sorry. I should have checked in with you more and reminded you that, even though our partnership ended, that our friendship was still solid.

Chelsea: The truth is, I just felt weaker than you. Because you’ve been through so much more than I have and you’ve always been able to persevere.

Chloe: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: Hi. Sorry I’m late. I got held up.

Lily: No. Uh, you left the apartment really early this morning.

Billy: Yeah, I, uh — I went to the gym, and then I went by to check on chelsea and make sure that everything was okay there.

Lily: Yeah, I figured that’s where you were.

Billy: Yeah, well, she didn’t join us for thanksgiving yesterday, so I just wanted to see if there was anything she needed.

Lily: Okay. Well, now that she’s okay, there’s something that I need.

Billy: Sure. What is it?

Lily: You.

Billy: Of course. I’m all yours. You know that.

Lily: Well, I used to, but… I don’t know. We just haven’t really had a chance to talk lately. You know, I’ve had work. You’ve had…other things. And I was chatting with devon about how delicate relationships are and how, if you’re not careful, it’s like there’s this distance that kind of grows between you, and then you just…

[ Cellphone thuds ] Something with chelsea, i assume?

Billy: Chelsea’s meeting with chloe to, you know, fill her in on everything that she’s been going through, and I just, uh, want to make sure just in case she needs something.

Lily: Yeah, well, I hope having chloe in the mix doesn’t interfere with your new life’s mission.

Billy: And what exactly do you mean by that?

Nate: Nick, look —

Victoria: Gentlemen.

[ Sighs ] What’s new at newman media? All well, I trust?

Nate: Couldn’t be better. Nick here was just offering some friendly career advice, which i will take to heart. I am grateful for any and all words of wisdom you have to offer. You clearly have a lot to teach me.

Nick: I’m glad you appreciate it.

Victoria: I’ll see you at the morning meeting.

Nick: I’ll be there.

Abby: Thank you. And you’re right. Dominic is the most important thing. And I know that chance loves him. I’ve never doubted that. But I have to face the facts. My marriage is over.

Devon: Abby. Abby, you can’t say that so soon. It’s too soon. You guys haven’t talked. You have to give him time.

Abby: What if chance is right? I mean, what if he can’t give mee everything that I need? What if I am trying to turn him into something that he isn’t?

Devon: You know that, um, amanda came back to tell me that she was planning to spend a lot more time in virginia with her family.

Abby: You started growing away from each other.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Yeah. Distance does that. I don’t know, though. I don’t know if… because she’s needed by her family so much now, maybe it was just a matter of time before we split up. Some things are inevitable.

Abby: [ Sighs ] When cold symptoms keep you up,

Abby: You can say that your breakup was inevitable, and i can say I was asking too much of chance, but, I mean, maybe we’re just making excuses so we don’t feel as guilty about what we did. Because the truth is, if we hadn’t slept together, maybe we could have worked out the problems that we were having in our relationships. But what we did — it was unforgivable.

Devon: We weren’t trying to hurt anybody, though.

Abby: But that was the outcome. We hurt people that we claim to love the most.

Devon: I regret making anybody feel that way. But I meant what I said before. Part of me doeeg happened between us just ’cause in the moment, it made all the sense in the world.

[ Dominic crying ]

Chance: I wish I could tell you more, victor. That’s up to her. I am sorry that she’s hurting, though.

Victor: That’s all you can say, that you’re sorry she’s hurting?

Chance: I hope you know I am hurting, as well.

Victor: Well, then do something about it.

Chance: Not everything can be fixed.

Victor: You’ll do nothing?

Chance: Sometimes the best way to heal, victor, is just to leave things alone.

Victor: [ Exhales heavily ] Do I need to remind you, chance, that when you came back from your overseas assignment in spain, you promised me that you would put my daughter on a pedestal, that she would be more important than anything else? Are you not a man of your word? Because one thing I promise you — as you get older, you realize that family is everything, everything worth fighting for. Don’t you forget it.

Chelsea: I wish I had your strength. I don’t know how you managed to go on after you lost delia. So, compared to your struggles, I don’t know how to justify my pain.

Chloe: Ohh. [ Sighs ] Pain is not a competitive sport. I mean, losing delia was my own personal hell, but you have your own losses. We all do.

Chelsea: I know, but —

Chloe: No, trying to compare pain is — it’s disrespectful to our own personal journey. That doesn’t make it any less real.

Chelsea: Thanks for getting it.

Chloe: I’m your best friend. We get each other. But I know the last time that you were hospitalized, you weren’t getting the help that you needed, and I hope you are now.

Chelsea: I am. I want and I need real help. I don’t have a choice anymore. Because I was literally on the edge.

Chloe: Wait, you… I mean, what do you mean? What…?

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] It could have gone all very, very, very wrong, incredibly wrong, forever wrong if it wasn’t for billy. He stopped me. He saved my life.

Lily: I think that you are distracting yourself with this new mission to save chelsea as a way to feel better about leaving chancellor-winters.

Billy: You got to be kidding me.

Lily: Billy, you said that you were quitting to find your passion and your calling, but you’ve done anything but.

Billy: Lily, are you hearing yourself right now?

Lily: Um, do you see yourself? Because chelsea has a lot of people around her who can support her, but yet you feel like she can’t function without your constant presence and attention.

Billy: I honestly can’t believe that you’re going there.

Lily: Okay, you know what? If you want to feel like you’re doing some noble gesture by sacrificing every bit of your day and night for her, that’s fine, but what you’re really doing is you’re not letting yourself take responsibility for anything.

Billy: Okay. There it is. Now you’re actually telling the truth.

Lily: Okay, you know what? Forget it.

Billy: No, no, please go ahead. Have at it.

Lily: I worry, billy, okay? I worry about you and chelsea because you don’t know what you’re playing at with this.

Billy: No, you’re right. I’m not a therapist. I never claimed to be a therapist, but I know where she’s coming from.

Lily: Just because you’ve been in dark places doesn’t mean that you can lead her through something like this. How is she gonna develop any sense of normalcy or independence or — or rebuild meaningful relationships in her life if she’s always navigating around you?

Billy: I think it’s important that she has support from her family and friends, lily.

Lily: She has other people, billy, okay? She has sharon, who has a degree in psychology, who works downstairs. She has chloe, who’s been stepping up. Adam — connor’s dad — he’s also been stepping up, right?

Billy: Yeah, he has, but that’s not the point, is it?

Lily: No. The point is that instead of owning your own limitations, you’re using chelsea’s traumatic experience to run away.

Billy: Oh, my god. Run away from what?

Lily: From the company. From supporting me, okay? This is you being who you’ve always been, billy. It’s you chasing the next high. And the next high now is you being billy the savior.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Billy: I honestly can’t believe how judgmental and petty you’re being, and I’m just gonna stop right there so I don’t say something that I regret.

Lily: Like what?

Billy: Like the truth. I mean, it seems like we’re both having a problem with that right now.

Lily: Sorry. What am I not being honest about?

Billy: About me leaving chancellor-winters. I mean, you expect 100% transparency from everyone you work with, except you’re not being honest about how you really feel about me leaving the company. And now — now what? You’re gonna bring chelsea into the middle of this?

Lily: You’re the one who’s made her the center of everything.

Billy: Honestly, lily, i I expected you to recognize that I am simply trying to help someone else in need.

Lily: Are you really gonna turn this around on me and make me the villain?

Billy: Come on. Let’s just be honest. We both know that it was the right time for me to walk away. I asked you a million times, and you said yes. I asked if I should stick around. You insisted that it was time for me to resign. And now what? You’re holding a grudge?

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Why is that? Are you upset that my goals aren’t the same as your goals? Are you upset that I’m finding purpose outside the corporate world, outside of working for you?

Lily: Of course not.

Billy: I mean, did you like me better when I was solely in service of you, where I depended on you, and then you would rein me in every once in a while? I mean, maybe — maybe it’s you. Maybe you’re the one that has the savior complex.

Lily: Careful, billy.

Billy: If I don’t need saving anymore, lily, where does that leave you?

Victoria: So, what was really going on between you and nick?

Nate: Oh, nothing much. He just dropped by to see how i was settling in.

Victoria: Then why did things seem so tense?

Nate: Well, he mentioned that because of everything that went down at chancellor-winters he doesn’t trust me.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] He shouldn’t have said that.

Nate: No, it’s alright. I’ll just have to work hard to prove myself to him.

Victoria: You know what? Forget about nick.Talk aut you.

Nate: Uh-oh. Something tells me I’m about to get an earful.

Victoria: No, no, no. It’s all good. Every single e-mail that I have gotten has been something along the lines of, “just met nate. Great hire. Nice guy. Looking forward to working with him.”

Nate: I promise you, I am not paying for those reviews.

Victoria: Oh, trust me, i have considered all of the sources, and those people have been here a long time. They’ve seen a lot of changes. And for them to sit up and takef the new guy and take time to mention him, they’re very impressed.

Nate: Wow. That’s a real compliment, given how talented everyone around here seems to be.

Victoria: You are off to a wonderful start. I want you to meet our executive team in our california offices. I’d like for you to accompany me to a meeting in los angeles next week.

Nate: Mm. Looking forward to it. I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Chloe: Billy saved you? What… were you thinking… were you thinking about dying?

Chelsea: I was. But now I am so thankful that i didn’t do it.

Chloe: So am I. I can’t imagine a world without my best friend.

Chelsea: Neither can I. After I pushed you away, it felt like a piece of me was missing.

Chloe: I am so proud of you for doing all the hard work you need to do to get well.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Chloe: And you’re gonna get the right help this time. You’re going to listen to everything that your doctors tell you to do.

Chelsea: Yeah, all of them.

Chloe: And I’m gonna be here for you, whatever you need, because I love you. You’re like my sister. We’re supposed to grow old together.

[ Both laugh ] Play pickleball and wear our matching tracksuits.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

[ Sniffles ]

Chloe: And there are gonna be some crappy days, but you got to stick around for the good parts, okay?

Chelsea: That’s the plan.

Chloe: [ Exhales sharply ]

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

[ Sighs ]

Abby: Hi.

Chance: I just had a very interesting conversation with your father.

Abby: I hope you didn’t tell him.

Chance: No, I didn’t tell him. I kept your secret, just like you asked, took all the blame. I hope you know I have no intention of embarrassing you by telling your family or anybody else what happened.

Abby: Thank you. That’s very generous of you.

Chance: Protect and serve.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Anyways, this conversation with your father got me thinking about this whole situation.

Abby: Yeah?

Chance: Yeah. And I think there’s one thing that we can both agree on. It would be a monumental mistake to drag this out any further. I think the best thing for everyone involved is that we move forward with the divorce immediately.

Ridge: All right. Douglas is out of the room. I’m gonna need some answers.

Thomas: You’re angry.

Ridge: You have no idea how angry I am.

Thomas: What I did was bad.

Ridge: What you did? You called cps and I wanna make sure I’m understanding this, you called cps andbo changed your voice to sound like brooke.

Thomas: Yes, I did and I’m sorry, but that doesn’t change how much you love my mom, all right? And that’s what you should be focused on today.

Ridge: I believed in you. I thought you were a changed man and you’re not. You did this. You betrayed me.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Brooke: It’s a beautiful day for a wedding. Bet ridge and taylor are exchanging vows as we speak.

Katie: Dad was so disappointed in ridge and his recent behavior.

Brooke: I’m so glad that he stopped by. A surprise visit from him and lucy? I just wish he didn’t have to catch a plane so soon.

Donna: Me too. You know, I miss him already.

Katie: And it was so sweet how protective he was. Wanted to run over there and stop the wedding.

Brooke: If only that were possible.

Sheila: You’re thinking about brooke. You really are distracted, aren’t you?

Deacon: No, I’m just–

Sheila: Why don’t you just admit that you’ve got brooke on your mind and you can’t stop thinking about her.

Deacon: She’s my daughter’s mother. Hope’s concerned about her, which means I’m concerned about her. Brooke’s going through a tough time.

Sheila: Oh, yeah. It must be really tough living in that big mansion all by yourself, accepting the fact that ridge is about to marry someone else.

Deacon: Hope gave me a heads up about the wedding.

Sheila: Well, I’m sure she’s consoling brooke right now, being the dutiful daughter.

Deacon: No, actually. She’s still out of town on business for her line with zende. She wanted to be home with her mother, but brooke insisted that she go.

Sheila: Gosh, well, you know, I hope she doesn’t spiral out of control with her gone and expect you to go over there and wipe her tears.

Deacon: If she needs me, I’m there.

Sheila: I need you, right here, deacon.

Deacon: Really?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: It’s so weird because I– I wouldn’t have thought that, the way that you slip out in that disguise every now and then. Yeah, I know all about that. Are you trying to get caught?

Sheila: Don’t worry about it.

Deacon: Where do you go anyway?

Sheila: I said don’t worry about it. And you know, don’t– don’t worry about brooke either because she’s gonna survive. This isn’t the first time she’s lost her darling ridge.

Brooke: How would I survive without the support of my family.

Katie: Oh, it’s what we do. We lean on each other.

Brooke: I have to be honest with you about something, katie. It’s something that bill said earlier.

Katie: Oh, I– uh, I know. You don’t have to say it. He made a pitch for you. I know.

Brooke: He told you?

Katie: No, I overheard bill and carter.

Donna: Carter, what?

Katie: Oh, right, carter. He– he came by because he was apparently picking something up for the wedding? I don’t know, maybe something for ridge or the ceremony. Anyway, I overheard bill and carter talking and I guess carter overheard bill trying to reel you in.

Brooke: Oh, my god.

Katie: And then he heard you shutting bill down and then he heard bill asking me to take him back.

Donna: Oh, my god.

Brooke: What?

Donna: That is so shady! What?

Katie: Yeah. I– anyway, carter called him out on it and he said… some very sweet things in my defense. I don’t know that I’ve really met anyone like him.

Eric: You did this to brooke?

Ridge: I thought you changed. I thought– I thought– I thought you were a better man, but you– you’re not. I defended you to everyone. I was proud of you!

Thomas: I’m still that guy.

Ridge: You’re not that guy! You lie! Every time you open your mouth, you lie! You did this to undermine my marriage. That’s what you were doing.

Thomas: Because you and mom belong together and you know it.

Ridge: Steffy… thank you for being honest with me. You see that, doc? You see your boy? You see what he did? You knew. Dancing is everything.

Sheila: Maybe there’s gonna be a picture online.

Deacon: Of what?

Sheila: Of the nuptials. Ridge and taylor, they’re– they’re both famous, right? There might be a family photo somewhere. Thank you.

Deacon: You’re hoping to see a photo of finn and hayes.

Sheila: Mm-hm. If I’m forbidden from seeing them in real life, I– I think a picture’s gonna be the next best thing.

Deacon: I think– I just think it’s crazy that this wedding is even going down. I mean, the ink isn’t even dry on her annulment papers.

Sheila: Look, it’s– it’s not like brooke hasn’t been through this ten times before, okay? She’s a big girl. She’s– she’s gonna be fine.

Deacon: I just hope she doesn’t start drinking to numb the pain.

Sheila: Yeah, well, that’S… that’s not your problem, deacon.

Deacon: No, darling. You’re my problem.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: I know that you’re tempted to go see brooke, but don’t even think about it.

Brooke: You said there was a new man in your life.

Donna: And why did you not tell me about this?

Katie: I was just waiting for things to be a little bit more official.

Brooke: So, it is carter.

Katie: We don’t have to talk about this right now, okay? Not when your heart is breaking over ridge.

Brooke: It’s okay. Just because I’m sad doesn’t mean I don’t want my sisters to be happy. So, tell us more. How serious is this?

Katie: It’s– we’ve just been spending some time together, you know? We’ve gotten close.

Donna: How close?

Katie: Not as close as you’re thinking?

Brooke: Well, I’m happy for you. You deserve all the love in the world.

Katie: We all do. Including you, brooke.

Ridge: You knew. You knew what thomas did.

Taylor: Yes, I did.

Carter: We should give you all some time alone.

Eric: Yeah. We’ll go upstairs.

Finn: Um, I’ll check on the kids.

Thomas: Dad, don’t be mad at mom.

Ridge: How long have you known?

Taylor: I just found out upstairs.

Steffy: I just told mom. And I just found out from douglas, and when I went to confront thomas, that’s when mom walked in.

Ridge: This just happened just now?

Steffy: Yes. Mom’s shocked. She didn’t think thomas would do something like this.

Ridge: But she didn’t tell me. You were gonna marry me anyway.

Taylor: Yes.

Steffy: Thomas was pressuring her to keep quiet.

Taylor: No, don’t say that. I’m the one who decided not to tell you, so that’s on me.

Thomas: You know, dad? Today is your wedding day, so maybe we shouldn’t worry about this right now. We’ll deal with it later.

Ridge: Sure.

Thomas: Look, I take full blame. Mom isn’t responsible. You know how good of a person she is. You know her integrity. This is my mistake.

Ridge: Did you say mistake?

Thomas: Yeah.

Ridge: It’s not a mistake. It’s an evil, calculated scheme… carried out by my boy. I’m steve.

Sheila: So, how much time do you have before work?

Deacon: Enough.

Sheila: Mm. You’re really trying to woo me, aren’t you? Where’s the– the excitement, the romance? The mystery even. Maybe I should go put my disguise back on when you first met me.

Deacon: No, that’s– that’s good. I don’t need to see that redhead again. She’s dangerous. Sheila, you gotta stop with the field trips, all right? Wherever you’re going with that disguise, knock it off. You’re gonna get us both busted.

Sheila: Nobody even knows it’s me. Besides, I– I picked up a few new wigs.

Deacon: Really?

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: Anyway.

[ Sheila laughing ] Everyone thinks you’re dead. It needs to stay that way.

Sheila: You know what? I will not stay that way. And before you know it, I’m gonna be free as a bird.

Deacon: Yeah, a jailbird. But you keep dreaming.

Sheila: You know what? I started over before and I’m gonna do it again and the only person sitting here dreaming is you, deacon. Because you don’t stand a chance with brooke.

Brooke: So, he stood up for you. That’s good. What exactly did you hear carter saying to bill?

Katie: Uh, he just said that I deserve a man who would be committed to me.

Donna: Yes, you do.

Katie: Someone who would be true to me, always. And that he was making my happiness his business.

Donna: Carter, okay. A++. Who doesn’t want all that?

Brooke: You really like him, don’t you?

Katie: As I said, it’s– it’s still new. Anyway, I feel bad talking about this today of all days.

Brooke: Oh, don’t worry. We’re just so excited for you. Carter is such a great guy.

Katie: Yeah, he is. I know it’s hard right now, brooke, and it might sound crazy, but… don’t give up on ridge.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Carter: Well, that was unexpected.

Eric: How are the little ones? Are they okay? I hate for them to be affected by this. Are they okay?

Finn: They’re– they’re okay. They’re in the kitchen decorating cupcakes with my mom.

Eric: God, I’m beyond furious. I’m so angry with thomas!

Carter: Clearly, ridge is too. I’ve never seen him so angry and disillusioned.

Finn: I can only imagine how hard it was for steffy, having to call out her own brother.

Ridge: How could you do this? So many lives turned upside down. Look at your beautiful mother. Look at what you’re putting her through.

Thomas: I’m, uh… I’m not making excuses.

Ridge: I’m not asking for excuses. You can’t defend any of this.

Thomas: I’m not. But come on, dad. You moved out of brooke’s like twice in the last year. You’re sick of that relationship. Don’t forget that.

Steffy: Thomas, stop. You’ve already done enough damage.

Thomas: You know what? I got to see you come back into mom’s life, making her happy and you, with our family and we had wonderful moments together. It’s a life anyone could dream of. And I had to get you out of that toxic relationship.

Taylor: You– that was not your place, thomas.

Ridge: I kept asking brooke, I said, “just say it. Just admit to something,” and every moment of silence was another slap in the face. But, she didn’t know what I was talking about. Because it wasn’t her, she wasn’t a liar. It was him. I don’t– I don’t believe this.

Taylor: I should have pulled you aside, ridge. I should have told you. I know.

Ridge: What happened? Hm? What happened to the woman I fell in love with? The woman… that always tells the truth? Where did she go?

Taylor: I don’t know. I’m so sorryE. I am so sorry. (Vo) red lobster. The finer points of fun dining

Katie: You and ridge are soulmates. He will come home.

Donna: He’s gonna be so miserable without you, brooke. He is gonna realize that he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

Katie: I know it seems impossible right now, like you’re never gonna be happy again, but it’s felt impossible before and fate has proven you wrong and it will this time too. You and ridge are written in the stars and no one can take that away from you.

Ridge: This isn’t like you.

Taylor: No. No, I– I– I should have given you a chance to decide what you wanted to do before the wedding. But, I panicked. You love me, right?

Ridge: Of course, I do. So much.

Taylor: And you’ve been assuring me that– that– that we are together because you love me and you want to be with me and it had nothing to do with anything that brooke did. But that’s not true, ridge. The cps call. Okay, listen, I… I made the decision not to tell you about the recording because I wanted to believe that your promises to me had nothing to do with what you thought brooke did to our son.

Steffy: Dad, you have every right to feel hurt, but mom was trying to protect thomas. She doesn’t wanna lose you.

Taylor: That’s true. This is a lot. I, um… I wish I could go back, but I can’T. I– I can only… I can only tell you that I… I don’t want a marriage based on lies. Not from me. Not from you. Not from anyone.

[ Taylor sighing ] I let my emotions get the best of me. My fears. My family. The thought of losing you again when I thought that we had it– we had made it. That we were gonna be okay. So, I don’t know. This is– this is the moment of truth. Right? What do you wanna do, ridge? Do you wanna go on with the wedding? Are we gonna get through this? Because today was supposed to be about new beginnings. It was supposed to be about our kids and our grandkids and everything that we have been grateful for. The chance at– at a life together again. That’s what today was supposed to be about. I– I’ve apologized. And thomas has apologized and I know that it doesn’t make it okay right now, but… are you gonna stand behind your promises to me? Are you gonna make me your wife?
