Update written by Dustin

Jordan phoned Mac and instructed him to secure Ava’s cooperation in their quest to locate Esme. Mac looked over at Kevin and Ava, at the Metro Court and made his way to their table. Mac told Ava that he needed her help in catching Esme. Kevin backed Mac up and said that they believed Ryan Chamberlain was likely to know Esme’s whereabouts. They both believed that if anyone was likely to somehow get Ryan to slip up and reveal information it would be Ava. Ava listened intently to their plan and agreed to it without the slightest hesitation. Mac told her to take some time to consider it and she said that she didn’t need any time.  She said she wanted to protect Trina from Esme and added that she wanted Esme to “rot.”

At General Hospital, T.J. told Diane and Jordan that Robert was “sleeping it off” although he was waiting for the results of the tox screen. Jordan said that she was convinced that Robert had been drugged, and T.J. ordered a rush on the tox screen. In his room, Robert awakened, and Diane was sitting with him. Diane refreshed his memory about the tequila shots and the reaction she believed he had to them.  She also filled him in on his strange behavior and the trip to his room with Holly. Diane added that she had given the WSB his message. Robert suddenly realized that his briefcase was gone and Diane confirmed that he had not been in possession of it when he stumbled off the elevator at the Metro Court. He said, “get Ashford in here……now.”  Diane rushed to get Jordan.

Dante paid a visit to Heather at Spring Ridge. As he was led into her cell, he found her painting. Heather asked Dante if he wanted to model for her. Dante revealed that he was there to question her about the transport crash. Heather offered to tell him for a price. Dante admitted that he couldn’t make a deal, but he thought that if she provided information, it would help her later.

Heather refused, and Dante told her she’d have plenty of time to perfect her painting in prison. He knocked on the door for the guard to let him out, and Heather frowned. She later banged on the door and requested a phone call.

Elsewhere at Spring Ridge, a caregiver attempted to read stories of interest from the newspaper to Ryan. He noted that there had been no new developments on the hook killer, and that Anna DeVane was still on the run.

Laura and Scott chatted while standing in Rice Plaza. They talked about family, and Laura noted her intention to locate Lucy’s real shooter to bring them to justice. Holly sat on a bench nearby and overheard their conversation. Laura and Scott made their way to the bench, and Holly said she had seen a woodchuck floating up into the air. She noted that she was waiting for a ride-share because she had business to tend to. She said she hadn’t expected to see so much activity around her.  Laura and Scott were perplexed that Holly would be working on the night before Thanksgiving. Scott received a phone call from Heather and walked off sounding annoyed.  Laura insisted that she drive Holly to her meeting with her contact rather than leave Holly alone waiting for a ride-share.  Laura said that she would not take no for an answer.  Holly reluctantly agreed. Laura and Holly couldn’t believe that Scott had taken the phone call from Heather and agreed it couldn’t be good. 

Esme let out a scream but quickly apologized to “Ace” in her locked room at Wyndemere. The door opened, and Elizabeth walked in. She announced that she was there to help Esme. She checked Esme’s vitals and told Esme that stress was bad for the baby. Elizabeth instructed Esme to take her pregnancy seriously and gave her some prenatal vitamins to take once a day. Esme begged Elizabeth to tell Nikolas to let her go.  Elizabeth said that living at Wyndemere was preferable to life behind bars at Pentonville, which is definitely where Esme would be headed if she were discovered.

After Elizabeth had gone, Esme wondered what her daddy would do. She had a vision of Ryan sitting on her bed, and she complained and argued about her situation. “Use the baby,” he said. He urged her to toss the vitamins out and refuse to take care of herself. Esme thought she could lose her leverage if she lost the baby, but Ryan assured her that the baby was her only leverage. Esme dumped most of the pills and figured that Elizabeth would bring her more. Downstairs, Nikolas left a phone message for Ava and told her he loved her. The doorbell rang, and Nikolas was irritated to see Victor standing there with all his luggage. Victor announced to Nikolas that tonight was the night he had decided to move in. Nikolas tried to tell him it wasn’t a good time, but Victor stated that there had been a development. He said he needed some extra security and he wanted to prepare the family for what was to come. Victor said that Nikolas and Spencer were the only ones he could trust, and he wanted Nikolas to “get his house in order.”

Victor poured drinks and handed Nikolas a glass. He told Nikolas that he would pick out his suite in the north tower. “No!” Nikolas shouted. He quickly told his uncle that the ongoing renovations were nowhere near complete and that Victor would have to stay in the south tower. Victor complained about the views in the south tower, left the room and closed the doors. “What the hell, Nikolas?” Elizabeth said. She wondered if Nikolas was trying to get caught. Elizabeth told Nikolas that Esme was doing well, even though she should have had prenatal care. Victor returned to the room and Elizabeth departed because being there with Victor obviously gave her the creeps.

Nikolas claimed that Elizabeth had shown up to talk because she’d had a rough time. Victor didn’t believe Nikolas and said that he was at least pleased to see Nikolas acting like a single man again. Victor then received a message and left to make a call. He was angry to hear that Holly had vanished.

Scott visited Heather, and she cried about Franco’s death. She said that Dante had stopped by to question her, so she knew that she was valuable. She added that she knew who had helped Anna to escape.  Heather wanted to make a deal with Scott.  He would help her get paroled from the prison and then she would sue Port Charles for millions claiming the prisoner transport crash had caused permanent damage to her neck.

Scott assured Heather that no judge would ever grant her release and that no one would ever take her seriously because she was a “crackpot.”  Heather implored him to think twice because she never forgot her friends, or her enemies.  “Neither do I,” Scott replied and he knocked on the door to be released.

Ava and Mac bumped into Dante at Spring Ridge when they arrived to see Ryan, and they gave Dante an update. Ava spotted Ryan and headed over to him. She told Ryan that Esme had been her attacker. “The audacity!” she exclaimed. She wondered if Ryan would like to help her get back at Esme for trying to take what was his.

Back at General Hospital, Robert tried to unhook his I.V. and other lines while T.J. sat with him. Robert was in a full-on panic because he had lost the necklace and was worried for Holly’s safety. T.J. told Robert that he couldn’t leave. Diane and Jordan arrived, and Jordan announced that some footage from Metro Court had been reviewed, and Holly appeared to be fine. She asked why Holly would do such a thing. Robert appeared to want to say something, but Jordan received a phone call and left. Diane surmised that Holly had stolen the necklace and drugged him. She added that she knew he was in trouble. Robert denied everything and Diane begged him not to let Holly drag him down with her.

In the car, Laura and Holly discussed her mother and the fact that Kevin was working. She thought that Holly’s memory would return, and she asked what agency Holly was working for. Holly responded that it was classified. Laura received a phone call from Jordan, but before she could tell Jordan who she was with, Jordan began to talk over the speakerphone. Jordan said that Robert had been attacked and that the attacker had the missing necklace in Robert’s briefcase. Laura realized what was happening but before she could react, Holly disconnected the call and held Laura at gunpoint.

Laura admitted that she had suspected all along that Holly and Deputy Mayor Ashby were on Victor’s payroll. When Holly told Laura to exit the freeway Laura refused to follow any of Holly’s commands.

Later, Holly and Laura were shown standing on the side of the road by an exit sign. While Holly held her gun in Laura’s direction, she grabbed Laura’s phone and called Kevin. She tossed the phone on the ground and ran. Laura picked up the phone and told Kevin where she was. She told Kevin that Holly had stolen her car and advised him to tell Jordan that Holly was armed and dangerous.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Hey, good morning. How you doing? Good. Just working away. What’s. Well, I just wanted to check in, see how you’re doing since our talk last night. I’m fine. Yes. Jada, having your baby is unexpected, but that’s not gonna change anything between us, just like you said. Right? Yeah. And I, I meant, I know.

So she’s really going through with a pregnancy, huh? Of course, she’s, why wouldn’t she? No reason. I, I was just asking. Oh gosh. That’s my, my other line. I gotta run. Okay. I look Nicole.

Oh, hi. To make up for the one we didn’t have yesterday. Oh, thank you so much. Um, that means a lot. I definitely missed this Thanksgiving without dessert. Not the same. . Well, we could, uh, have a slice for breakfast if you haven’t eaten already. Don’t you have to get to work? No, my schedule’s pretty open this morning.

Okay. Yeah, of course. Yeah. Come on in then. So, uh, speaking of work, have you heard from your sister? No. I guess she’s still out of town with Johnny Damara.

Hello El. Anybody home?

Nobody here. Good. We can talk, just start off by saying that we freaking rock Jakarta was a success. Yeah. Things got a little dicey, but we got the information we needed from Dr. Ross. Now we have to decide who to confront with it first. My brother or your dad.

Go away. How? I don’t wanna be the disturbs. This my sleep.

Bloody How? How didn’t you hear me? I said go away.

I am not Harold,

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

Yes, you, uh, you no realize, mum, I’m hallucinating. Uh, I’m seeing things that aren’t there. Just like at the crash site, you aren’t seeing things then just like you’re not seeing things. Now I am real.

And so is this, this, it’s my imagination. I, I, I, I, I hit my head last night. Tony and Chad brought me back here. Yeah, your brothers may have saved you last night, but. You all be so lucky tonight. I have a wait, say hello to your mother in how,

oh, Oh,

I wish we had that damn recording of Ralph admitting that he brainwashed Stephan on my brother’s orders. Yeah, that would definitely make things easier. Yeah, I mean, I, I can’t believe he nuked the tape. That was the hard evidence that we needed. Now my dad’s just gonna, you know, deny any involvement, brother probably will too.

But we know, I mean, we, we know they. And they shipped Ralph out of the country to cover up their tracks, and I still can’t believe my brother would do something so horrible. I mean, I know how much he loves Gabby, but this is way over the line. Look, it’s very possible that the brainwashing was my dad’s idea.

It’s totally his. With Stephan by his side, he’s got all the shares he needs to ous Gabby become c e o again, he’s exactly where he wants to be. Oh, so is my brother. A part of me thinks, just drop it now, let him get married and live happily ever after. But, I can’t do it. I can’t stay silent knowing what I know.

I have to confront him.

Okay. He’s not logged in at work yet. He must be with Gabby Jing went at better show at the office today. If, if she misses one more day of work, I swear it. Ah, relax. Enjoy your breakfast.

Okay.

Oh, hmm. Delicious. You know, when rave tossed the pie in the trash that Nicole made, I thought, man, he must really be done with her. Yeah, I haven’t seen him this Ben outta shape since Sammy cheated on him with ej. Just, I, I don’t get it if all the women in this town just keep stopping all over Brave’s heart.

I thought that Nicole would be different. They were friends before they got married, right? Close friends. I liked her. I liked her for my brother. I even was rooting for them to get back together when he was dating that horrendous mafia Princess. I’m not gonna miss that bitch. No, it’s true though. I’m not, you know?

Yeah. well, I’m sorry for what happened to Rafe. Yeah, me too. I’m just, I’m surprised. You know, who knew that Nicole would hurt my brother worse than Ava? Absolutely. James. I’ll have marketing get that to you today. Okay, bye.

No, not none. Well, well, well look who’s here. Did you get lost on your way to the executives? Huh? You’re very funny. I brought you an almond latte. Oh, thank you. Chloe’s my favorite. Of course. Well, I mean, with your big new job, I’m surprised you had time to stop by. Well, actually, with my big new job at Damer Corporate, um, one of the things I have to do is now oversee basic black.

You got Kristen’s job? Mm-hmm. . And she got my man.

What does a guy have to do to get some breakfast around here? Hello, brother. Hey. What? Cigars? Cigars? Yeah. I hear congratulations are definitely in order. ? Yeah. My mother told you about the baby. No, no, no, no. Nicole. Oh, well hey, she is one of my best friends here. Yeah, of course she is. And I’m glad you two can talk.

I mean, this baby is a blessing, obviously, and mm-hmm. , gosh. I mean it’s uh, it’s very exciting. Yeah. It’s throwing us for a loop a little bit. It clearly complicates your reunion with Nicole. What’s the deal with Jada? I mean, where does that stand? Well, it’s over. I bet Chad has decided to keep the baby, which I’m really happy about.

I mean, we can co. Yeah. Okay. So, um, it’s gonna be you, Nicole, her kid, and Jada plus your kid. Yeah, yeah. . Okay. It’s gonna be a little more complicated than I’m sure you wish, but you and Nicole, you guys will work it out. Yeah.

So you really don’t want me to come with you to confront your brother? I’ll be fine. What if he panics and what hurts me? They would never do that. How can you be so sure after Rolf tried to drug us and Jakarta? Okay. We don’t know if he was ordered to do that. You could have gone rogue. Well, I intend to find out, so why don’t we just both go see my dad first.

Connie, we. That we’d have a better chance of getting information if we split out. Yeah, I know, but stick to the plan. Divide and conquer.

Would you rather have a coffee I a dog and I’m over.

I think I might still be drunk considering the amount of fine single mal put away yesterday. Where was this?

And my mother’s crash site.

Brave was with me for a bit. Took a swig of my flask. If you can leave that and then a bit later on I saw Ava Fatali. Sorry, when I was hallucinating, obviously. Fact, she devil is running hell for what she did to my mother.

I’m so sorry. I can’t begin to imagine the pain that you’re going through right now and just know if there’s anything. That you need. I’m, I’m here. I appreciate your guidance, brother. You and Chloe were there for me tonight. It happened

what night in my life. It was a great comfort. I’m glad. Oh, and uh, please offer my gratitude to Chloe as well. I’ll tell her, see her in a bit. So I’ll let her know. You two seem to be getting closer.

We are. God, you must be seating. Oh. Just finding any opportunity to throw her wedding blands in my face. Is that right? It’s one pathetic attempt after another to make me jealous. You know, I wish she would just stop wasting her energy and get it into her head that Chloe is the only woman in my mind.

I know this situation with Brady Suck. But imagine the look on Kristen’s face when she finds out that you’re still part of Basic Black. I mean, that’s a little consolation, isn’t it? Yeah, I know right? . Uh, but Brady insists that he thinks that Kristen put Lee up to offering me this promotion. What do you think?

Well, I was just more curious if Stephan had anything to do with it. But I asked Lee and he insists that it was up to him and ej. Hmm. And what about Kristen? Apparently Kristen no longer works at Dera, so to prove that I was given oversight of basic Black. But you’re still suspicious of Kristen Always. I still can’t believe Brady broke up with you and moved Kristen into his home.

Mm. He thinks that’s what’s best for Rachel. So living under the same roof as a total lunatic. Well, that total lunatic happens to be Rachel’s mom. Listen, Brady has clearly moved on and so have I. You know how those two raised their child? It’s. It’s no longer my concern.

We do realize that Jada and I are not the first former couple to give co-parenting a shot. I know that. Mm-hmm. , look at us. We come from the most successful blended family. I know. Exactly. You know, and I don’t care about half or step. I justm really blessed to have you all in my life. We got emerging families, you know, you know, raising a kid with an ex, you know, it’s not for.

As a matter of fact, sometimes frankly it can just not make any sense at all. Yeah. Like you and Kristen,

if, I don’t know why I have to keep saying this, but I will. The only reason I moved Kristen in is because it’s what’s best for our daughter, and you’re honestly telling me that there’s no better options than moving Kristen under the same roof as our. What would you have me do? I know. I know. I’ll move ’em all into granddad’s house.

If Kristen could have another stab at it, of course, because I’d prefer that than her going after my mom again, listen, Hey, you don’t have to worry about your mother because I’m gluing everything in my power to make sure that Kristen doesn’t hurt. Marlena. Hear me? Okay. But anyway, , we shouldn’t even be talking about me.

We should be talking about you. You’re gonna be a father . You know how much is, this is gonna change your life, man. Yes, I know. I’m scared, but I’m happy and be honest. I can’t stop thinking about it. You know, just the idea. Hold little baby boy or even a baby girl, and I know. Under the circumstances sits a little crazy, obviously, but I’m really happy Brady

Do you think maybe you and s Stephan are moving a little fast? Who are you? My mother . She asked me the same thing actually, but in her defense, she’s Team Brady all the way. Mm. That makes two of us. Mm. Well, you’re gonna have to get off of it. Okay. Cause I’m not gonna sit here and pine after some dude who’s insisting on playing house with a bride of Chucky

You know what? S Stephan and I, we like each other and we’re excited to see where things go. Okay. Well if that’s the case, then I am happy for you. Thank you. Well, it looks like we’re both starting new chapters in our lives. You’re dating Stephan and I got back together with Eric. I’m sorry, what?

So Nicole’s leaving rave to go back to our ex-husband. Not surprising, Eric’s the love of her life, but. Their marriage was over and done with a long time ago. No. Why would you wanna go backwards? Rehash relationship that’s already run its course, especially when she’s made a commitment to someone else.

Are we still talking about my brother or are we talking about you, me and Stephan

to answer my question. Okay, fine. Yeah. I can’t help but see the parallel. Nicole couldn’t stop obsessing over her ex after he got back either. Come on. Okay. They are nothing alike. Eric came back to town. Stephen came back from the dead. Okay. And and you think I’m obsessing? I mean, once I got over the shock that Stefan was alive and not interested in me, I moved on with you.

Come here. Look, trust me, I’m, I am not gonna make the same mistake that Nicole is making. Seven is my past and you are my future.

Okay. I, um, still have some extra time before I have to go back to work. Uh, wanna show me your childhood bedroom? Although I’m not allowed to have boys in there, you know, it’s no one’s homes, so maybe.

Hold. Hold that thought. Hold on,

J Wayne, you’re back. Oh, I might find you here. Is everything okay? I need to talk to my brother. It’s important.

The more time Chloe and I spend together telling you the better it gets.

I see a real future with her and I think she feels the same way,

which is wonderful to hear. Stephan, I’m glad someone in his family has finally found happiness again. Hmm. She does make me happy. You know, she’s a strong, independent woman, which I love, but she’s also very kind and compassionate as you saw firsthand, which is a huge improvement over that. Dreadful Gabby Hernandez.

Hmm. When I think about the lengths that conniving Snake went to, to retain control of father’s company, I just, and just how far would you go for control?

Well, dad, aren’t you gonna answer my question?

Wendy, would you like some pie? I’m not hungry. Let me guess. You ate on the plan. I really need to talk to you alone. You’re being very rude, Lee. That’s fine. No, it’s not. Okay. This is Gabby’s home. You come in here unannounced, barely even say hello and ask her to leave Gabby, I’m sorry. This is really important and you can’t wait say bitching one.

Gabby already knows everything she does. Oh yes. I told her exactly what you and Johnny Deir have been up to.

Joey. Thank God you were here, son. I’ve been trying to reach you for days. Is that right? Yes. I, uh, I have something I need to tell you. Interesting. I have something I need to tell you too, dad. You’ll need to wait. This is, this is important. And what I’m going to give you two, some privacy. Uncle Stephan, don’t feel like you have to leave because of me.

It’s, it’s best we talk. Ste. Thank you for your understanding. Of course.

You sure we’re in a hurry to, uh, get Stefan out of there. Why was that something you don’t want your brother to know? Stefan already knows, and now unfortunately, I have to tell you. Okay, fine. Fine. What is it? What’s, what’s so important? I’m afraid I have some distressing use. About your grandma Susan.

Grandma Susan. What? She okay.

Your grandmother is dead.

So how was Nicole when you. A little on edge. She told me that when you told her that Jada was pregnant, she stormed off and the two of you hadn’t spoken since. I assume that’s changed. I just spoke to her on the phone and, you know, I just was following up for our conversation last night after I told her that Jada decided to have the baby.

Mm-hmm. , I, how’d she take it? I, I assured her that nothing’s gonna change between, Jada and I are going to be sharing a baby together, but she is the woman that I love, that I want to be with. I’ll always have my heart. So you ended your marriage with Rafe and decided to get back together with Eric? Well, not exactly in that order.

You know, you. Telling me from us that I either need to commit to my marriage or end it. And, and I tried to commit Chloe. I really did. Oh, honey, I’m not judging you. Trust me. It’s just that when, when Eric came back into town, so did our connection. I don’t think it ever left, but I was with Rave. I really messed up.

Instead of being brave and honest, I was a coward. and I knew I was still in love with Eric and a married Rafe anyway. And now he’s, he’s hurt and he’s humiliated and beyond angry and, and he has every right to be. Well, you didn’t exactly set out to hurt Rafe, and you know Eric didn’t set out to hurt Jada, but at least they’re not married.

So that breakup will be a lot easier. Not necessarily. What does that mean? Jada’s pregnant. Oh my God, seriously? Yeah, so I’m not such a clean break. Oh wow. Is she keeping the baby? I think so. However, I am. I might have advised her not to.

You told Jada to have an abortion. ? No, of course not. I would never do that. Then what exactly did you say? Well, I just pointed out that motherhood is a full-time job and being tied to a man who’s in love with someone else is really difficult. Former couples raise kids all the time, but it’s not easy. I didn’t say that, but it is possible.

Well, just because it’s possible doesn’t mean you should. and you felt like it was your place to inform Jada of this? Well, if I were in her shoes, I would want someone to inform me to be straight with me, that having kids in some temporary arrangement that you could just bail on when things get hard, you are in this for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but it’s, it’s not your life, Nicole. It’s Jada. I know I was just trying to help and encourage her to decide if this is something that she really wants. Okay, so no agenda, you’re just offering her some food for thought. Oh, come on Chloe. We both know how hard it is to be single mothers juggling a child and a career and, and Jada may have to deal with the stress of co-parenting with a man who broke up with her to be with a woman that she can’t.

People make it work. I know, but damn it, Chloe, I will not lose Eric again. So that’s what this is. We’re afraid that that baby’s gonna threaten your relationship with Eric.

Wouldn’t you be? I mean, look how Kristen used Rachel to come between you and Brady. Jada’s. No, Kristen. I know. Fuck God. I’m sorry. It’s just that Eric and I have been through so much and we finally got back together again. Yeah. But when he found out about the baby, he didn’t decide to stay with Jada. Right.

And I’m pretty sure that’s what she wants as well. Assuming she knows how he feels about you. Yeah, Jay did say that she wasn’t gonna fight for this relationship. Eric said, this baby isn’t gonna change anything between us, and I wanna believe that I really do. I wanna be secure about me and us, and that nothing is gonna come between us again.

But you know what? No matter what Eric promises or no matter. How he intends for this to go. The truth is, it’s when that baby is born, Jada and Eric are gonna fall in love with it. Yeah. But. Not with each other. Eric loves you. He always has, and he always will.

Yeah, maybe I shouldn’t have said anything to Jada.

You know, the thing is, given the circumstances, I just think it’s best for everyone. If there’s no baby,

you and Nicole, you’ll figure this out. You’ll work it out. You always do. Yeah. I know Nicole and I can be together, and Jayden and I, we can co-parent. We can all raise a healthy, happy child who’s part of a family who’s gonna love him or her. Uncon conditioned. Absolutely. And here’s the baby mama right now.

Mike. Oh, hey Jada. Hey, you and my brother Brady. Uh, yeah. Nice to see you again. Nice to see you as well. And congratulations. Um, My daughter Rachel, by the way, can’t wait to meet her new cousin. I plan to be a very doty uncle. So if you need anything, uh, after the birth, before the birth, uh, after the baby’s not a baby and it’s driving you bananas, just gimme a call.

I’m your guy. Okay, thanks. Sure. Uh, Eric, can I talk to you? Uh, yeah, of course. Okay. Uh, that’s my cue. Um, congratulations again and um, I will talk to you soon. Yeah.

Oh, Brady’s obviously very excited. It’s fine. So what do you wanna talk about? Is everything okay?

Okay, sir. Uh, I, I, uh, I, I, I just, I, I can’t believe Grandma Susan’s dead. She’s dead. It’s inconceivable. Anna know. Uh, have you, have you told Sydnee? I am. I called her a school this morning, needless to say, a little sister. How did this happen?

Mother was kidnapped and held for ransom. I managed to, I managed to track down the purpose, and we agreed to meet at the airfield where I would wire her ransom money and she would release your grandmother. But as soon as the transfer went through, she turn the tables on me. How? How she grabbed Susan, dragged her off by gunpoint and threw in the car.

I, of course gave Chase, and she, she, she drove off the road. You keep saying she, she, it’s a, it’s a woman. A woman who did this. Who? That’s right. Who, who was it? It was Ava Vital.

You seem surpris. I am. I didn’t think you’d want Gabby to know about this. Well, my fiance and I have no secrets. I told her what you were up to the minute I found out you did. Yes. So what do you have to say for yourself?

Lee don’t, don’t be so hard on your sister. So she played okay with the A boy. It’s no big deal. No big deal. She begs me for a promotion, finally gets one, and before HR even finishes processing the paperwork takes off from parts unknown with Johnny Damara on the company Jet. Hey, listen, you said you weren’t gonna overreact, okay?

What you did was outrageous, disrespectful, and in incredibly irresponsible pretending you’re telecommuting, ignoring my calls, blowing off your new jobu. When? How could you, I had a very good reason. Oh, well, this ought to be memorable. You’re certain the drug will only erase their. It won’t hurt them.

Okay, then do it. Ralph, the minister, the drug.

Go ahead, tell us your. Good reason for gallivanting to end Indonesia with that ditton playboy. And why shouldn’t fire you on the spot? Wait, calm down. Calm down. Father is gonna go ballistic when he hears about this. You know, I’m, I’m gonna, I’m gonna head out to the square. I’m gonna get some of that nice relaxing herbal tea that you like so much.

And, uh, at the time I get back, hopefully things will be straightened up.

You know what? I know you and Gabby have this girl power thing going, but if you think she can save you from what you have coming, oh, I’m not the one who needs to be worried about what’s coming. What are you talking about Gabby? Stephan and what they’re going to do when they find out what you did to keep them apart.

Sova did. Yeah. It’s terrible. Why? Why would she, why would she even want to kidnap grandma? Who knows what motivated that woman to do anything. She was psychotic

damage on Roman. I tried to warn you. What are you trying to say? This is my fault. You knew she was in the mafia? Yeah. She left that behind her. Apparently not. Apparently she was more than capable of committing vicious, violent, homicidal acts.

But how would you know that you would take it that far? No, no.

I, I was, uh, I was stubborn. I was stupid. And even after she defrauded our family, I. I still wouldn’t listen, and you vanished her from Salem to protect me, and I fought you on it. I defended her, and then she kidnapped my grandma. That had nothing to do with you. It was all about getting revenge on me. Had nothing to do with you if I hadn’t gotten involved with they in the first place.

It’s just none of this. None of this would’ve, uh, none of it would’ve happy make. Son, look at me. Look at me. This is not your fault.

I am so sorry. Thank you. I’m sorry. Thank you.

Your grandmother was a very special person and we will find a special way to honor.

All the things that she did to make our lives better.

Yeah. She, uh, man, that, uh, that gift to hers was, uh, something, uh, something special. Yeah. Yeah. She was the first person who realized I was possessed. The devil raised our memory.

Yeah. Yeah. Kind of like you wanted Dr. Roth to do to me and Jakarta.

Wow. Gorgeous. You and Eric are literally the perfect couple. Well, I mean, I guess these pictures turned out pretty well. Pretty well, they’re amazing. Bella Magazine is gonna sell out at the stands and it’s gonna break the internet. . Okay? You’ve been spending way too much time with Alex Kriyas. , what’s this?

It’s a man moving in on my woman. You’re a woman. What century are you in? Apologies to my strong, independent, consensual companion. Ah, that’s more like it. Uh, how’d you know I was here? Your assistant? Are you too busy to let me take you to breakfast? Mm. I might be able to squeeze you in Uhhuh, . All right, Nicole, you wanna join?

Oh. Oh, no thanks. You, you too. Go. Are you sure? Uh, yeah, I, uh, I have a lot of work to catch up on. Okay, well I love you. I’ll call you later. Love you. Bye bye.

How to get back to leave before he goes nuclear and his sister.

So how’s PJ doing? Not well. He got drunk yesterday at the site where his mother was killed. Thought he saw Ava. Oh, well I heard no one could have survived that. No, he did say he thought he was hallucinating. Mm. Poor guy. Johnny was with him when I left the house, and Johnny had just gotten back from a trip overseas.

Mm-hmm. . Well, hopefully it was a big comfort to him to have his son nearby. Hope you’re right. I tell you, your grandmother died in a horrific crash, and you take that as an opportunity to hold ridiculous accusations against me. I’m sorry about grandma. Look, I, I, I’m, I’m more than sorry. I’m in shock, but that still doesn’t change what you tried to do to me and.

Wendy, Wendy Lee, sister, what the hell does she have to do with this? She came with me to Jakarta. We went there together to track down Dr. Roth, and guess what? We found him and we know everything. What is it you think you know? And you told Dr. Roth to inject us with some kind of memory erasing drug, but he didn’t cuz we stopped him.

Are you sure you didn’t take any drugs in Indonesia? Because that sounds preposterous. It’s. Okay, you can stop pretending because we know what you tried to do to Uncle Stephan.

You sure you’re feeling okay? Jet lag can cause confusion. You did it didn’t you? Did what? Ordered Dr. Rolf to inject me and Johnny with a memory erasing drug.

Do you hear yourself? That ? That’s absurd. Oh yeah. Almost as absurd as you telling Rolf to brainwash Stephan the Marin to hating Gabby so you could have her for yourself. Yeah, that’s right brother. Despite your best efforts, Johnny and I still remember everything Ralph told us. And from the look on your face, it’s clear he was telling the truth.

I thought I’d find you . Well, where else would I be? I don’t have a home and that’s no one’s fault but my own. Your home is with Eric? Yeah, sure. Right next door to his baby mama. I know that that can be awkward. Have you talked to him? Yeah, I just came from the pub and, and, and he, uh, loves you more than anything in the.

And he is over the moon that you two are back together and he’s also over the moon. That Jada’s keeping the baby Nicole. He is looking forward to becoming a father. I know that’s hard for you. It’s reality. I guess. It’s something that I have to get used to.

So decaf is supposedly better for the baby. Eric, I went a little nuts and I went online and I bought six books and I wanna know everything that I can. Things they’ve been a little complicated and I wanted to tell you again how excited I am that you decided to keep this baby because there’s nothing I wanted more than to be a good father, Eric.

Stop. You need to listen to me. There is no baby.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Jack returns home to find Gwen working on her laptop. Jack calls out to Gwen which startles her and she quickly shuts her laptop. Gwen thought Jack was spending Thanksgiving with Chad and the kids in New York. Jack responds that he did as Jennifer’s brother Mike and Nancy had them all over for dinner. Jack reveals that Mike and Nancy are now seeing each other. Gwen asks if that’s a good thing. Jack calls Mike a good guy and a step above Clyde Weston for Nancy. Gwen is glad Jack got to be with family today as she’s sure the holidays are especially painful. Jack responds that’s why he came back to work. Gwen asks if he’s checking up on her at the Spectator. Jack points out that Gwen was working away when he came in and asks if it’s a big story. Gwen responds that it could be. Jack comments that Gwen slammed the laptop shut as soon as she saw him, almost as if she didn’t want him to see what she was working on.

Xander asks if Sarah is joking but Sarah responds that it’s a serious question as she asks if he kidnapped Bonnie and Susan.

Tony calls EJ and leaves a message for him to call him back as he’s worried about him and doesn’t want him to do anything reckless. Tony then hears the door and hangs up but Chad arrives and says he’s sorry to disappoint. Tony responds that he was just hoping he was EJ as he is worried about him.

EJ finishes drinking at the cliff and gets up to walk away when he hears a noise. EJ calls out for his mother as he looks in the direction of the sound but Ava emerges, who says it’s not his mother. EJ argues that she’s dead but Ava tells him to guess again.

Gwen tells Jack that the article is about Paulina Price. Jack argues that every newspaper in the country is covering that story. Jack points out that Gwen is right here in Salem and could scoop every other paper. Gwen points out that she’s not a seasoned reporter. Jack asks if she’s afraid she isn’t up to the task and if that’s why she wouldn’t let him see her draft. Gwen says no but then says yes, noting that there is something more to it. Jack questions what she isn’t telling him. Gwen responds that Chad doesn’t want her writing about Paulina and Chanel. Jack argues that Chad has no business telling her what to write about and declares that he will take care of this right now. Gwen stops him and informs him that there is more as she reveals that she told Chad that she would do what he wants.

Tony asks why Chad dropped by as he thought he was spending the holiday in New York. Chad responds that he was and the kids are still there as Jennifer promised to take them for more holiday fun. Tony questions Chad not joining them. Chad admits he wanted to come check on EJ after he heard what happened to Susan.

Xander questions Sarah thinking he kidnapped two women. Sarah brings up what Xander told her after he quit his job, about how his boss asked him to do something illegal but he wouldn’t tell her what and was very vague. Sarah says she knows Xander is holding back something big. Sarah brings up the look on his face when she was watching the news report. Xander responds that he was just shocked because he knows Susan and Bonnie. Sarah asks what his boss asked him to do. Xander claims that the company was going to bring in a new drug and claim that it wasn’t addictive when that’s a lie and he didn’t want to be part of something like that. Sarah says he didn’t tell her that. Sarah argues that the company needs to be stopped. Xander says he knew she’d say that which is why he didn’t want to tell her. Xander warns that she doesn’t know who his boss is and what she does to people that cross her. Sarah questions how Xander knows. Xander says from her talking. Sarah remarks that it doesn’t sound like an executive of a drug company, it sounds like Ava Vitali.

EJ questions if Ava is really here or if he’s drunk. Ava says she’s there and asks if he thought he could get rid of her that easily. EJ brings up how her car went off the cliff, exploded, and the fireman told him that no one could have made it out alive. Ava guesses that means she’s dead then and says it’s not that bad. Ava says maybe EJ would like to join her as she then pulls a gun on him.

Jack can’t believe that Chad would ask Gwen to bury a story this big and that Gwen would agree to do it. Gwen explains that her main source was her dodgy ex-former lawyer, Sloan Peterson, who said that she had all the dirt on Chanel’s arrest and promised an exclusive. Gwen adds that Sloan sent her everything that she sent to the district attorney, but Chad warned that if she didn’t fact check every word then the Spectator could be open to a libel suit and be put out of business. Jack questions Gwen deciding not to print it. Gwen responds that she’s still in the process of getting it vetted because she doesn’t want to cost the Spectator the exclusive story of the year but she doesn’t want to put her name on something that could be a lie, so she asks Jack what to do.

Alex and Stephanie continue kissing at their candle lit dinner in the Kiriakis Mansion. Alex suggests they move to a bed as they continue kissing until Maggie walks in. Maggie apologizes as she didn’t know they were in there. Stephanie gets up and hugs her, wishing her a Happy Thanksgiving. Alex comments that they were just having a little Thanksgiving dinner. Stephanie explains to Maggie that her parents are in Seattle with Tripp, so Alex invited her over to share leftovers. Maggie comments that Tripp must be having a miserable holiday after what happened to Ava. Stephanie says that’s why Steve and Kayla stayed out there. Maggie adds that it must be so hard trying to be a good son to a mother like Ava. Stephanie still can’t believe what she did. Maggie says poor Susan Banks as she was so innocent and shouldn’t have died how she did. Stephanie can’t help but wonder if it was all a terrible accident or if Ava drove off the cliff on purpose.

EJ questinos what Ava thinks she’s doing. Ava calls it fairly obvious but for all he knows, she’s not really there. Ava mentions hearing him call for his mom and asks if he’s feeling guilty. EJ asks if she’s saying she’s his conscience. Ava responds that he is the reason this happened since he could’ve just given her the money and taken his mother home, but he had to prove he was smarter and better than her so he took the only son she had left and kidnapped him, but that didn’t work out how he planned because her son is alive and well while EJ’s mother is down there. EJ asks how he knows that for sure. EJ reminds Ava that he doesn’t have a conscience, so Ava is here in the flesh and made it out of the crash alive, so perhaps Susan did too.

Chad asks Tony how EJ is doing and admits it’s a stupid question as he’s sure EJ is devastated. Tony explains that EJ blames himself for Susan’s death and now feels he has to suffer because of it. Chad brings up that EJ did prove Ava’s marriage to Jake was a fraud and forced her out of town, but he can’t imagine he expected Ava to retaliate like that. Tony then informs Chad that he’s afraid that’s not all EJ did.

Xander questions Sarah thinking that he would work for Ava. Sarah points out that he was so desperate to make money and get them out of here, so things started to add up which Xander questions. Sarah brings up Bonnie saying the guy who grabbed her was wearing a blue suit with major muscles. Xander argues that could be a lot of people. Sarah adds that Maggie said she got a text from Bonnie’s phone that she was going to visit Mimi and questions if a lot of people know Bonnie’s life so well that they could mention her daughter by name. Sarah asks if others would know how to keep two women locked up in the Kiriakis shed where Xander used to work. Sarah doesn’t want to believe he did this even though a lot of the pieces fit. Sarah tells Xander that if he had something to do with this, he has to tell her now.

Chad questions EJ kidnapping Tripp. Tony clarifies that he didn’t do it personally and didn’t intend to harm him, but he wanted to trade him for Susan. Chad guesses EJ figured he could save himself $30 million. Tony says that was only part of the reason and he did it primarily for leverage to keep Susan alive. Chad guesses he could see that. Tony says he told Chad because he trusts him, but he’s troubled since Chad works for Tripp’s sister Stephanie and considers her a friend. Tony asks Chad to tell him that he won’t tell Stephanie that EJ had anything to do with Tripp’s kidnapping.

Stephanie tells Maggie that their families have been through an ordeal but thank God that Tripp and Bonnie are going to be okay. Maggie says Bonnie will be eventually which Stephanie questions. Alex reminds her that Bonnie wasn’t in great shape. Maggie states that it’s hard to recover from being afraid for your life. Alex insists that she will recover once they catch the clown who did this to her. Maggie has a reaction to that so Alex asks if she knows something about the guy. Maggie informs them that she just left Sarah, who has a theory about what happened and it sounded far fetched to her. Stephanie asks her to tell them what she said. Maggie tells them that they have to keep it to themselves which Alex says they will do. Maggie then reveals that Sarah is afraid that the man in the clown mask might have been Xander.

Jack appreciates that Gwen wants to make the most ethically sound decision. Gwen says they know she doesn’t have a reputation for telling the truth, so if any reporter is going to be accused of slander, it’s her. Jack encourages her to continue being careful what she writes. Gwen credits Jack for teaching her and backing her up. Jack argues that the public has a right to know what’s going on in Paulina’s life. Gwen questions ignoring what Chad wants. Jack calls Chad a good guy but points out that he’s working for Paulina’s PR team and may have been doing her bidding when he asked her to bury the story. Gwen says she just doesn’t want to hurt or upset Chad any more than she has. Jack talks about journalists fighting PR firms and declares that Gwen is going to have to make a judgment call. Jack appreciates the hard work she’s been putting in and how determined she is to be a good reporter which surprises Gwen. Jack says it makes him feel better about not hiring Xander.

Sarah asks Xander to say something. Xander says he feels so hurt because he went out and got what he thought was a good job to pay off their debts and move them in to a real home. Xander talks about how much it meant to him that Sarah believed in him but now it sounds like she thinks he did something that led to two women getting killed. Sarah complains that she didn’t want to say it but felt that she had to. Sarah brings up Victor never hearing the company that Xander worked for and says there shouldn’t be a problem looking it up. Xander asks if his word is not good enough then. Sarah asks what’s wrong with looking it up. Xander tells her to go ahead then. Sarah then opens up her laptop.

Ava assures EJ that Susan is definitely dead. EJ questions her being honest. Ava says she made sure of it by yanking the steering wheel to drive them off the cliff, assuring that she deliberately did that to get even with EJ. EJ can’t believe he actually believed that she just ran off the road. Ava argues that they know $30 million dollars didn’t mean anything to him, so she wanted to cause him the maximum amount of pain and suffering. Ava declares that she realized that she could do that with one hard turn to the right. Ava tells EJ that he can search all he wants through the wreckage, but he will never find Susan. EJ questions how Ava is alive. Ava reveals that she jumped out of the car but Susan was definitely inside when it blew up. Ava declares to EJ that his mom is dead and now it’s his turn.

Gwen questions Jack being glad that he didn’t hire Xander for the job and asks what that means. Jack explains that Xander asked him for a job at the Spectator right after he offered Gwen the job while Gwen was in the hospital. Jack adds that he knew how Gwen still felt about Xander, so he didn’t think it was a good idea for them to be working together and he turned him down. Jack says that now Gwen seems to be thriving at the Spectator, so he sees it was a good idea and it’s also a good idea for Gwen and Xander to keep a great distance from each other. Gwen then reveals they actually haven’t been doing that…

Sarah looks up Rednax Pharmaceuticals and finds the company’s website, which shocks Xander.

Chad questions Tony thinking he would rat out his own brother. Tony doesn’t think it’s far-fetched after what happened to Abigail. Chad reminds him that EJ saved his life when Clyde tried to kill him and points out that EJ just lost his mother, so he’s not going to pile on. Tony thanks Chad. Tony states that he’s worried about EJ since he’s been gone for hours and God only knows where he’s ended up…

Ava tells EJ not to worry as she’s about to put him out of his misery. EJ then grabs her and they struggle over the gun.

Jack questions if Gwen and Xander have been seeing each other. Gwen clarifies it’s nothing like that but they’ve been bumping in to each other every now and then. Gwen admits it was awkward at first, but now she’s just glad that she thinks they can be friends. Jack questions if she’s being straight with him. Gwen says she just saw him the other day and they told each other about their new jobs like friends. Gwen is just glad that Xander doesn’t hate her anymore. Jack questions if she’s sure that’s all it is, because he remembers how in love with Xander that Gwen was, and now he’s married to Sarah. Jack doesn’t want to see Gwen hurt anymore. Gwen appreciates that but says this has all just forced her to take a hard look at the reality of her life which is that Xander doesn’t love her, he loves Sarah, and he’s very happy with their life together, so she’s happy for him because he’s her friend now and she wants what’s best for him.

Sarah doesn’t know what to say after finding the website and says she should’ve known that Xander wouldn’t make up some complicated lie about where he was working. Sarah can’t believe she accused him of kidnapping Bonnie and Susan, asking what is wrong with her. Xander tells her she’s perfect. Sarah complains that he swore he would never go back to his old life and she didn’t believe him. Sarah apologizes and points out that there’s even a posting for his job. Xander remarks that they wasted no time putting it up. Sarah guesses they realized what a loss he was. Sarah mentions talking about this with Maggie and now she has to call her to tell her what a huge mistake she made. Sarah asks if he can ever forgive her.

Chad decides he and Tony should go find EJ and asks where to start. Tony then gets a call from Rafe. Tony tells him that he and Chad were just going out to find him. Rafe reveals he knows, so Tony says they’ll be right there. Tony hangs up and informs Chad that EJ is drowning his sorrows at the crash site, so they rush out of the mansion together.

EJ lays unconscious at the cliff.

Jack is glad that Gwen and Xander have gotten to a good place. Gwen guesses he didn’t see that coming. Jack says he’s proud of her. Gwen didn’t think she’d ever hear those words from him again. Jack tells her that she’s earned it. Jack asks to see what she’s got from Sloan to see what they can come up with her story. Gwen questions doing that now and points out that it’s still Thanksgiving. Jack thinks it would feel good to advise a daughter of his again. Jack tells Gwen to call him “dad” again. Jack decides he will go unpack and then they can get to work. Gwen asks how she can ever repay him. Jack jokes that she can make him a turkey sandwich as he goes to unpack his bags.

Alex questions Maggie about Sarah thinking that Xander kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. Maggie assures that he has to keep this quiet because she doesn’t know what Victor would do if he found out. Alex says so much for Xander turning over a new leaf. Stephanie points out that Sarah doesn’t have a lot to go on, so she could be overreacting which Maggie agrees with. Alex states that Xander would have to be out of his mind to kidnap Justin’s wife when he is apart of the family. Maggie acknowledges that Xander was desperate for money, but he has to know how Sarah would feel if he committed a crime to get it. Stephanie knows Sarah would be done with him and it seems that Xander really does love her. Maggie insists that’s why Xander wouldn’t jeopardize what they have after everything they have been through with Kristen and Gwen.

Xander doesn’t blame Sarah for being suspicious given the life he’s led. Sarah says that was years ago and she should’ve known he wouldn’t do something like that. Sarah adds that she made him feel terrible and doesn’t know what to say. Xander suggests they forget about it and have leftovers. Sarah says she has so much to be thankful for as they hug.

Chad and Tony find EJ at the cliff. Chad checks on EJ and wakes him up. Tony finds the flask on the ground. Chad and Tony help EJ up. EJ complains of a headache and tells them that Ava was there. Tony calls that not possible. EJ says she had a gun and they fought over it until he fell and he thought she was going to kill him. Chad questions if he’s sure he really saw Ava. EJ insists that she was there and pointed a gun at him. Tony questions what stopped Ava from killing him then. Chad wants to get EJ to the hospital but he refuses. Tony points out that EJ fell and hit his head while Chad adds that his wound will need stitches. EJ argues that they need to find Ava.

Maggie reminds Alex and Stephanie to be quiet about what Sarah said to her which they agree to do. Maggie decides she will go check on Victor and says goodnight to them as she exits. Alex asks Stephanie what they were talking about before Maggie showed up. Stephanie thinks maybe it’s a good thing that Maggie showed up when she did. Alex questions what the problem is. Stephanie thinks they should take things one step at a time. Alex admits he hates doing that. Stephanie tells him that they’ll just look forward to their next date. Alex agrees and offers to walk her out which she accepts.

Sarah goes through the leftovers that Maggie brought including a bottle of wine. Xander steps out to go get some ice while Sarah searches the room for a corkscrew. Sarah then sits down and opens her laptop back up to the Rednax website. Sarah questions how she could think Xander would make up an entire company and says thank God he was so understanding.

Xander calls Gwen, who questions him calling her on Thanksgiving. Xander tells Gwen that she won’t believe what just happened. Xander informs her that Sarah accused him of being behind the kidnapping and figured out everything while he tried to deny it. Gwen asks if he’s in trouble now. Xander says no because Sarah decided to look for a website for Rednax. Gwen guesses she found one. Xander asks how she knew that. Gwen reveals that she built the site and put it online. Gwen admits she’d never done one before so it’s a bit simple but she thought it would work. Xander is shocked and declares that Gwen saved his life and he doesn’t know how to thank her. Gwen responds that there’s no need to thank as her as that’s just what friends are for.

EJ questions Chad and Tony not believing him that Ava was there. Tony points out that Ava hates EJ and he passed out on the ground, so he questions why she didn’t finish him off. EJ admits he can’t answer that. Chad and Tony then walk EJ away, leaving behind a bullet on the ground.

walking in a winter wonderland tphoelt walking in a wonderland walking in a wonderland then you go — look at you! You’re getting the hang of it. That’s perfect.

[ Gasps ] Busted! What? You did! You’re taking another bite of the potatoes. I like to think of it as quality control. I-I told you to stay out of the kitchen today, okay? A-and besides, it’s almost time to eat. Well, thank god. Should I rally the troops? I said “almost.” And anyway, we are still waiting on the man of the hour. Dante: Thanks for doing this. Of course. Well, no, I know you want to be with the kids. And we will be as soon as we get to the quartermaines’. Okay, well, we’ll just, you know, a drink, maybe two, appetizers, you know? Hey, hey, hey. Sonny is your family, which means he’s my family, too. Package deal, remember? I don’t forget anything when it comes to you. Ooh. Mmm, that tahini sauce smells like heaven. Not like thanksgiving? Well, thanksgiving is what we make it. Yeah? Yeah. Well, I’m gonna — I’m switching gears this year. So can you do me a favor? Hmm? Can you grab the watch out of my pocket? When did it happen? When did you lose the feeling in your hands? Grab the w– okay, I will grab the — not that one. It’s not — oh, darn it. Yeah, not that — there. Okay, I’ll try the other one.

[ Gasps ] Ooh. Yeah, there you are. What is… you got it. Here. Open it. It’s for me? No, it’s — it’s for me ’cause I’m trying out a new look. Yeah, it’s for you. It’s, uh… I just… I just want to thank you for being here and for changing my life. Well, you could have just said that. I just wanted to show you. They’re beautiful. Sonny, thank you. I love them. And I love you. Hey. Hey. You look so beautiful. You look pretty good yourself. Yeah? Mm-hmm. You smell amazing, too. Do you have any idea how badly I want to drag you out of here and kiss you till you can’t breathe? Ohh. I’m game if you are. Michael: Happy thanksgiving. Hey. Hey. Hi! No piecaken?

Holly did not hurt me. She even called kevin to make sure that I’d be found quickly. Ashby: How considerate. But she does earn demerits for holding you at gunpoint. Deputy mayor ashby. You did not have to give up your holiday to be here. Oh! Well, I like to be kept in the loop. What an understatement. Excuse me. Mm-hmm. You summoned me. What could you possibly need, since it’s thanksgiving? A reason not to arrest you. Reporter:

Pcpd officers are actively

searching for a suspect

who abducted mayor collins

last night.

She is in possession

of valuable jewels

and is considered armed

and extremely dangerous.

[ Click ] Well, it looks like we have something in common. We’re both damn near indestructible.

Arrest me for what? Obstruction. Materially compromising this investigation by printing sensitive information in today’s invader. Jordan, I gave you a chance to comment before publication. You had no business naming esme prince as an official suspect in the hook slayings. You promised me an exclusive, and you didn’t deliver. We’re tracking the gps in the mayor’s car. And? Do you know where ms. Sutton’s headed? Eileen, um, I got a call today from the county administrator. They wanted a status report. I haven’t been able to call him back. Could you handle that for me? Certainly. Great. Thanks. How much longer do we tolerate that traitorous individual in our midst? Long enough for her to be useful to us, or maybe to help us to incriminate victor. Anyway, she’s gone. Tell me where you think holly is. Well… is it someone we know? Or a stranger? Or someone we know of. A celebrity.

[ Laughing ] You guys are so off base. Well, then just tell us who this mystery guest is — aside from him being a he. So you mean essentially completely ruin the surprise? Yes! Yes! Where is the excitement in that?! Oh, don’t worry. This holiday is never short on excitement. Something always happens on thanksgiving. Hmm, hmm, not this time. No sirree. I have taken every precaution. You say that every year.

[ Chuckles ] Mark my words, boys. This thanksgiving is going off exactly according to plan.

[ Laughs ] Uh, thanks for doing this. I know the last place you want to be is anywhere near ned right now. Wiley wants me here, so I’m here. You are such a wonderful grandma. Not that you even look like a grandma at all.

[ Laughs ] I love the flattery.

[ Laughs ] Well, I only speak the truth. So, is, uh, josslyn coming? She and trina are volunteering at a soup kitchen, so she’ll have to pass on pizza this year for thanksgiving. Oh, don’t let olivia hear you say that. She is determined to serve a turkey this year. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Well, you know, she should know by now that is absolutely impossible, so… I admire her optimism, although I think the kids would prefer pizza. Yeah. Where are they, by the way? Upstairs in the family room. There’s a major arts-and-crafts thing going on. I am gonna have to chisel the clay off of scout.

[ Laughter ] You know, drew, I’m just — I’m glad that this — this thanksgiving is gonna hold better memories for you. Yeah, me too. Has it really been a year? Since I came back, yeah. Broke the news about jason. Well, this day is supposed to be about giving, not receiving, but, sure, I got a little something for you. I mentioned to brook lynn that the civilian complaint review board might be open to reinstating you if she wrote a letter kind of explaining what happened with the incidents. Punching valentin and linc. Right. Like if she told them that you were defending her. If she kind of put some context around what happened, they would be open to reinstating you, perhaps. When did you suggest this to her? Oh, a few weeks ago. But — but she’s busy. That’s it? Mind out of the gutter, mister. This is a family event. We’ll get to the rest later.

[ Exhales sharply ] Sonny, I love them.

[ Laughs ] They — no, they — they look beautiful. Thank you. How are you? Fine. How are you? No, how are you really?

[ Laughs ] Listen… I’m good. It must be hard to be away from your girls. I got — no, I got to spend time with them last night. Came in, their — their — their big faces just lighting up when they saw the, you know… yeah. …Parade balloons, and their eyes got all big. Yeah, but what about, you know, your old house and your old traditions you used to do? Nina, nina. Don’t you miss them? T-this is my house. I know, but — no. No buts. This is my house, and with you in it makes it my home. So, what do you say? You want to…make some new traditions with me?

[ Laughs ] I would love nothing more.

Alexis, I had every intention of holding up my end of the agreement, but not at the expense of a sensitive investigation, and it doesn’t get more sensitive than this. Lives are at stake. Which is why I brought the letter to your attention in the first place. We both have a duty to this city, and I’m not going to apologize for fulfilling mine. Now, I’m sorry you have to work tonight. But I have a thanksgiving dinner I have to go to. So, my car is somewhere in this vicinity? I mean, there’s nothing much out there. Well, the theory is that she abandoned the car outside the woods and then continued on foot. Oh, well, then she could be anywhere. I have officers on the scene in baylor woods. One of them found a well with drinking water. Then there must be a house or a building of some sort nearby. That’s the assumption. Laura: Eileen? Did you manage to get in touch with the county administrator? I’ve relayed the relevant information. Thanks for stopping by. I know you had plans. Yeah. Of course. We — we wanted to see you. Yeah, but, you know, that — that walk down the hall was pretty grueling. Oh, it’s brutal. Yeah, maybe you got to move a little closer to us, even. Yeah? Hey, everybody. Hey, there they are! Go ahead. Eat whatever you want. We shall. Be merry, the whole thing. Thank you. Yeah. Hey. Hi. I’m glad you came by. Oh, as if I’d miss a traditional thanksgiving. [ Laughs ] Well, you know what? I’m doing things different this year. I can tell. I’m sure it’ll be delicious. Hey. Oh, hey. I’m glad you both could make it. We’ll take you as long as we can get you. Okay. Thanks for having us. Is your friend cody coming? No. No, I — I didn’t — no, I didn’t invite him. But he’s not really into these kinds of social gatherings, you know? Oh, yeah. Well, he’s not alone in that. Hmm. Ah, excuse me one second. Yeah. Okay, out with it. Out with what? With whatever’s going on in that beautiful head of yours. I’m just wondering if it’S… social gatherings that cody doesn’t like, or questions. What? What — what — where did this come from? You know what? Actually, forget I said anything. No, I can’t now. No, please. No, what happened? This isn’t the first time you’ve thrown shade cody’s way. I-I thought you thought he was a good guy. What — what changed? You okay? Uh, yeah. Yeah, I-I was just, um… thinking about jason and everything that’s happened since. Yeah. It’s been quite a year. That’s an understatement. But you made it. You know, if someone would have told me that I would have to go through what I went through, and I’d have to do it without jason… I would have said it was impossible. But look at you now. You’re not only still standing, you’re thriving, arguably stronger than ever. No small part thanks to you. What’s with the mood in here? There’s no mood. Sensing a mood. We were just talking about the anniversary of drew’s homecoming. A blessing for the whole family. It was a moment to remember, that’s for sure. Yeah, especially you at the door holding pizzas, no less.

[ Carly laughs ] It was quite an eventful thanksgiving. Remember? Chase clocked valentin. Yeah, that was the first time I lost my badge. We won’t stop asking. Or guessing. Okay, okay, okay! Fine. I ordered a turkey from dinde vivante. Mm… it’s a french company with a local farm. In port charles? Yes! Yes, and they have only the finest, the most organic turkeys, fresh as they come. And —

and get this — it comes completely roasted, fully ready to eat. What could be better than that? I don’t know. Almost sounds too good to be true. Yes. But that’s the point. It’s not too good to be true. It is true. I’m not taking any chances this year. So a turkey is the man of the hour? Yeah. That’s right. How do you know it’s even a male bird? Male turkeys are bald. Yes. Male turkeys are also bigger than female turkeys, which makes it exactly perfect to feed this whole big, crazy family of ours. Hmm. Drew and michael can eat the giblets. No, no, no. No. We’re not doing any of that. We’re not doing any of that this year. Everyone’s gonna get along. Everyone’s gonna sing “kumbaya” because I want this to — no, i need this thanksgiving to be perfect. Then perfect it is. Thank you.

[ Turkey gobbling loudly ] Well, where do you want it? What is that smell? What’s that sound? Well, leo… that is our dinner.

[ Gobbling continues ]

Olivia: Okay. Okay. Sir, my friend, I-I most definitely did not order a-a live turkey from dinde vivante. Well, the company name literally means “turkey alive.” What is this? What is this? It’s all in french. I need a translator to — to read this stupid thing. Too bad valentin’s not here, huh? Okay. Okay, okay. Sir, friend, my good man, you need to march this turkey right back to the farm. You got it? I just deliver, lady. No backsies, you know what I mean? Alright, I’ll, uh — I’ll show you out. Okay. Should I fire up the grill? Are you seriously making jokes right now? Sorry for bringing up valentin before. I wasn’t thinking. I know that you’re very sensitive about losing your badge. Yeah, I miss being a cop every day. I know you do. But that doesn’t mean I’m not grateful for everything you’ve done for me. Because I am. I’m just really praying the department gives me a second chance. Well, I want what you want. But do you, really? So, what happened yesterday? Did you end up confronting nina? W-what’s this? Well, now that nina has run out of homes to wreck, she’s taken up idle gossip. And I sure as hell did. The casino buffet? As in a buffet at an actual casino? I know, I know. It sounds cheesy. But mike and I loved it. We would get brando all dressed up and tell him he could eat as much as he wanted. And one year I hit it big, and we upgraded to the surf and turf. Sounds like you had a great time. We did. Eh! Maybe that’s just the way I remember it. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Maybe brando hated being there. All the sounds and the lights and the smoke. Probably wanted to be in a real restaurant. You did the best you could, gladys.

[ Knock on door ] Um, I’ll get it. Okay. That’s all any of us can do, you know? Nina: Hi. Hi. Sorry I’m late. I was defending the first amendment. As one does on thanksgiving. Come in.

[ Exhales slowly ] Are you, um… what? Are you trying to distract me? Is it working? Mm. Maybe. Maybe? Oh. Okay. Clearly I’ve lost my touch. What is your, uh, problem with cody? Uh, I don’t know. I mean, I-I guess… I guess I didn’t like his reaction to me investigating britt’s necklace. The necklace? Mm-hmm. Come on, that — that necklace might be his inheritance. That kid grew up with nothing. He was, like, on that estate, looking out at everything he couldn’t have. Okay.

[ Clears throat ] You’re defending your friend, and I — and I love you for that. But…what if he doesn’t deserve it? I’m gonna call the new chef at the metro court. Maybe he can help us out.

[ Turkey gobbling ] Leo, do not touch that thing! It could be diseased! Only mammals get rabies. Well, it could have bird flu or something. Who knows? And you wanted to serve it to us for dinner? Sorry. Not helping. One more remark out of you, I will stuff you in the crate with that turkey. Yes! Yes. Hello. It’s olivia. We have a little bit of a, uh…situation here, and I’m really hoping that you can help us out. I know they want to cook you. But don’t worry, mr. Wattle. I won’t let that happen.

[ Gobbling ] Where’s laura? Getting the deputy mayor out of her hair. I know you all can’t make it to your thanksgiving dinner, so I brought thanksgiving dinner for you. Are you the best or what? Aww. Aww. I can’t have my guy and his colleagues starving on turkey day.

[ Cellphone ringing ] And here I thought you couldn’t get more popular in this place. Thanks, felicia. You’re very welcome. Wow. What’s all this? Oh, are you the thanksgiving fairy? That seems like a decent title. I’ll take it. Very sweet of you.

[ Laughs ] My officers located a trapper’s cabin on the northwest corner of baylor woods, not far from the canadian border. Footprints? Fresh, but no vehicle. It’s her. I’ll call for backup along the way. Considering holly’s still armed… I’ll wait with felicia for the news. And make sure this ends peacefully. Well, that’s the goal. Let’s go. Here we go. Yep. Pcpd. State your business. Just walking off the meal. Is there…an issue? Area’s off-limits. I heard there’s a manhunt for a jewel thief. Never mind. I’ll head back. Stay safe.

[ Police radio chatter ]

I may or may not have done some digging. Oh. Mm-hmm. Ohh. Ah, okay. And? And cody has a juvenile arrest record. And do you know what for? The files are sealed. Well, you know, he got into trouble as a kid. So did I. So what? Yeah. Did you get into trouble together? Well, I don’t know. We were wild kids. That’s why we ended up at camp. I think both of us needed structure. Yeah, look, I am not here to judge anyone, ’cause god knows I have done my fair share of shady things. And your past definitely should not define you… this is like the biggest “but” I’ve ever heard — no, it’s a “however.” Well, that’s the same thing. Okay… is it possible that cody’s issues aren’t as in the past as you thought? Gladys: How could you?! Uh-oh. Printing information about brando’s killer before his family even knew? Who does that?! Nina: Hold on. You weren’t informed that the pcpd considered esme prince their prime suspect? No, I sure as hell wasn’T. Well, that’s ’cause we don’t have a prime suspect, and that’s why we don’t want the press releasing information prematurely, ’cause it’s never a good idea. Confirmed — one suspect inside. I have officers at each exit. Remember, the suspect is armed. Keep our people away from any windows. Robert. I don’t need that. Put it on! She wouldn’t hurt me. Hasn’t she hurt you already? Okay, perfect. Thank you. You know holly best. Is she willing to die for a diamond necklace? No. But she’d risk everything for freedom.

[ Police radio chatter ] Um… it should be me. Something’s bothering you. Yeah, I like to think we’re honest with each other. Aren’t we? You tell me. Is there anything that’s happened recently that you haven’t filled me in on? Okay, if this is about linc — it’s about us. Look, I want to be in a relationship where we have each other’s backs, where we support each other, even when it’s hard. Chase — otherwise, what is the point? No, no, no. It’s okay. I understand. I understand. Thank you very much. Well? Well, I offered the new chef triple his normal pay to wring that turkey’s — to — to ready that beautiful bird. No dice.

[ Turkey gobbling ] Okay. Well, how hard could it be to…ready a bird? People have done it since the dawn of time. I’m willing to try if you are. Okay. Okay. Now, that’s what I’m talking about. That’s the spirit. Now it starts to feel like thanksgiving. Okay. I’m gonna go grab drew and, uh, chase. I’ll be right back. There will be no turkey today. Oh, honey, honey, no. Don’t — don’t — don’t say that. We will have a turkey. Don’t worry. Oh, I’m not worried. Now neither is mr. Wattle.

[ Gobbling continues ]

So, how are you feeling? What do you mean? With your pregnancy. Oh! Did you just forget you were pregnant? ‘Cause I-I didn’t know that was a thing. You know what? Sometimes I could with how amazing this little one is. It’s been a dream so far. Oh, that makes me so happy to hear. Yeah. I bet you’ll be so relieved to find your birth parents. I mean, getting as much medical history as possible is just — just great for the baby’s sake. That’s exactly why I’m looking for them. Yeah. On that note, a reporter that I know tracked down some members of the commune as far as the mojave desert. I told you it would be a struggle. Well, good news is, um, somebody offered to help. Who? Me. We do support each other. At least I thought we did. You support the life that you want for me, not the life that I actually want. What? Run! There’s a wild turkey on the loose! You know, that was really thoughtful of you to bring food for everyone. I’m happy to do it.

[ Chuckles ] Now, spill. You’ve had a hell of a 24 hours. How are you? I’m fine. Really? Yeah, I — really, I am. I am fine. [ Sighs ] I’m far more worried about robert right now, you know? This was just the last thing he needed. He was already worried sick about anna. Yeah, I know. I just can’t believe that holly would go this far. All for a necklace. I think it might be a little more complicated than that. Yeah, I’m sure it’s more complicated than that. I just can’t stand it. Robert: Holly, it’s robert.

Now, the place is surrounded.

It’s over.

There is no escape this time. Robert, we got to go. No. No. Not yet. Is laura alright?!

She’s fine. Apologize to her. I never wanted anyone to get hurt, robert, especially you.

I don’t want you

getting hurt.

I want you to come

out of there unscathed.

And you know what you got

to do to make that happen. Can we all just take a breath? ‘Cause today is supposed to be about family and food and — okay, w-w-well, brando was my family. I-I understand. My only child. He was murdered. And now she’s helping his killer get away with it! Actually, I intended for the opposite to be true, and I’m truly sorry that you were caught off guard. I thought that you would be aware of esme. Oh, I was not. Well, at least the police have a credible lead. That’s good news, isn’t it? We will get justice for brando. Whatever it takes, gladys. You have my word. Behold the pice de résistance. I cannot believe this is happening. What is happening? Well, olivia ordered a turkey, and it arrived, well, alive and well. And strong.

[ Groans ]

[ Gobbling ] This dinner is for the birds.

[ Laughter ] Okay, you know what? I’m glad that everyone else finds this so amusing. I am not laughing. Yet another thanksgiving totally ruined. Look, I give you a lot of credit. Many have tried in the past — not the least, great-grandmother lila — but at some point you just gotta accept it’s tradition. Monica’s gonna love this story. At least there’s still pie. And stuffing. And cranberry sauce. Oh. I think. But we need a meal. We need a main course. Well, there is an easy fix. Together: Luigi’S.

[ Laughs ]

Why can’t the quartermaines have a normal thanksgiving for once? Brook lynn, I need to ask you something. And I need an honest answer. Pizza’s here! Oh, finally. I am starving. You know what? Olivia will kill us if — look, I don’t care. Would you look at me? Were you ever going to tell me about the ccrb letter that you never wrote? Hey, where’s, uh, brook lynn and chase? The pizza’s gonna get cold. I told them, but they were talking close. Oh! Ah. To be young and in love. Hey, watch it. We are still both of those things. Now and forever. Alright. Let’s — whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know the rules. Together: First we sing, then we eat. We are gonna get one thing right this thanksgiving, so help me.

[ Chuckles ] There you go. My mom couldn’t get out of there fast enough, huh? Well, can you blame her? Not the most festive thanksgiving. It was my favorite one yet. It was? Yeah. Why? ‘Cause I get to spend it with the person I love, who I share my home and my life with. And your toiletries with. What?

[ Laughs ] The new hand lotion. What are you — I can’t deal… are you serious? …With how good it smells. Oh, you got to keep your hands off my stuff. Really? Mm-hmm. All of your stuff? Well, no, actually, you have full access to my stuff. Yeah, that’s what I thought. Yeah. Mm. You ready for some pizza? I wouldn’t put it past my mother to actually make a turkey. I want some pepperoni. Hmm. With this ring, I thee wed.

[ Exhales sharply ] You deserve the world. And I know that this wasn’t your fantasy elopement. This is my fantasy elopement. Because at the end of the day, you are my husband. And you’re my wife. Hey, sasha. How you holding up? I’M…okay. Another first in the books. I got through a whole year of them after liam. And now I get to do it all over again with brando. You don’t have to do it alone. I know. And I’m so grateful, sonny. Oh. Oh. I’ve got to make a phone call. Be right back. I know that brando would want me to embrace life, even when it hurts. Maybe especially then. He would want me to be with family. Well, you know you are welcome here. Thank you, sonny. So, uh, as far as gladys, is she still hands on, or what’s going on? But always for my benefit. I feel like gladys and i finally understand each other. Yeah, hello. Um, I’m having a rough day and could use a little fun. When’s the next game? Great. Count me in for a seat at the table.

We gather together

to ask the lord’s blessing

he chastens and hastens

his will to make known

the wicked oppressing

now cease from distressing

sing praises to his name

he forgets not his own 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! Stay here! N– holly! No!

[ Sobbing ] No, god, please!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: Daniel! Oh, my god! I am so glad that you are home! Oh, my gosh! It has been way too long.

Daniel: Yeah. It’s good to be back. I’m just excited that my high-powered executive sister had, you know, the time to fit me into her busy schedule.

Summer: Very funny. You know that I will always make time for you.

Daniel: You better.

[ Sighs ] Seriously, though, I am so proud of everything you’ve managed to accomplish.

Summer: It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just lucky I get to do what I love. Enough about me, though. I want to hear about you.

There’s really not that much to tell.

Summer: Come on. Mom’s not here, so you can give me the real story.

Daniel: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Summer: You are being very vague, brother dear.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Summer: First, you surprise mom for thanksgiving, and now you’re not telling us how long you’re planning on staying in town? What is up with that?

Daniel: Well, you know, if you’re worried about us hanging out, don’t be. Thinking about sticking around genoa city for a little bit.

Summer: That’s great.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. To that end, I actually have a meeting with billy, lily, and devon. Pitching them something.

Summer: You want to work with chancellor-winters? I wouldn’t think that they would have much use for an artist.

Daniel: Thinking of a new career. And it might just be a game-changer.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Come on in.

Lily: I brought your pie plate back. I devoured the leftovers this morning.

Devon: You did? You ate it all?

Lily: Oh, my god. It was so good.

[ Both laugh ] Did you recover from your turkey stupor?

Devon: Yes, I did, thank you. I’m well-rested and ready to get to work.

Lily: Okay. Well, first, I want to chat. All right, I let it slide yesterday ’cause it was a holiday, but I could see how miserable you were. I mean, you didn’t even break a smile when moses video-called in from sofia’S.

Devon: What are you talking about? I loved seeing him.

Lily: No, I know you do. I know. But, I mean, clearly, there’s more to this amanda breakup story than you told me. Right? So, come on, open up. Talk to me. Maybe I can help in some way.

Devon: You can’T. There’s nothing that can help the situation.

Lily: Okay. Why don’t you try me?

Danny: Mm. You’re not gonna want to hear this — at all. Um… okay, I’ll tell you. Abby and I slept together.

Nikki: Well, good morning.

Talia: Nikki, phyllis, good morning. I’m surprised you wanted to meet here.

Nikki: Oh, well, my very creative grandson owns the joint.

Phyllis: Yes, that, and there are some people in this town that aren’t too thrilled about our continuing friendship. So, uh, we don’t want to call ourselves out, you know?

Talia: That’s fine. I’m not insulted. Comes with the territory when you’re an investigative journalist. So what was so urgent?

Nikki: There’s a new twist in the diane jenkins saga.

Diane: May I come in?

Jack: Please. If you’re here to see harrison or kyle, they’re not here. They’re on a playdate with one of harrison’s friends. I don’t know when they’ll be back.

Diane: Oh, well, I’m sorry I missed them, but I guess it gives me an opportunity to thank you.

Jack: For what?

Diane: Well, after far too many thanksgivings spent alone, it was really special to be included in what was, for the most part, a wonderful holiday, moments with my family that I’ll cherish forever.

Jack: I know your being here meant a lot to kyle and harrison.

Diane: I just hope you don’t hold me responsible for ashley’s abrupt departure.

Tucker: Hey. Oh, you look lovely this morning.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: Oh. Yeah. It’s a token of my affection.

Ashley: Well, this isn’t a date, so you can forget the flattery and everything. Let’s get down to business. You know why I’m here.

Tucker: Do I? I love what downy does for my sheets and towels.

Lily: Oh, my god. You and abby were having an affair?

Devon: No, it wasn’t like that at all. It happened just once, but the timing couldn’t have been any worse.

Lily: What do you mean?

Devon: I mean that amanda walked in and caught us together.

Lily: What?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: Oh, my god. I mean, poor amanda. It’s like she was gone, dealing with this medical emergency with her mom for months. She comes home, thinking she’s gonna have this romantic reunion with you, and walks in on you and abby?

Devon: If you’re trying to make me feel better, you’re doing a great job.

Lily: No, look, I’m sorry, okay? I’m not. I’m not judging. I just… I mean, wow. She would have had every right to slap you or even trash this place.

Devon: Oh, believe me, I know that, and I’m glad that she didn’T.

Lily: Wow. I mean, now I see why she had to leave town and resign so quickly.

Devon: Yeah, so do I. She wanted to get the hell away from me. And I don’t blame her. It’s the second time I’ve cheated on her like this. All she’s ever done is support me in this relationship. She supported me when I agreed to have a child with abby and chance. She even drew up the damn paperwork. And she had my back when i wanted to have a bigger role in dominic’s life, and this is how I repay her.

Lily: Wow. Wait. What about chance? Does he know?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah, he knows. Because he was with amanda when they walked in and caught us.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Devon, I mean, this is a disaster.

Devon: I know. And abby’s pretty sure that their marriage is over.

Lily: Wow. I mean… now I see why you’ve been so miserable. Look, I hate to ask, but, I mean, come on. What were you and abby thinking?

Devon: I don’t — we weren’t thinking, obviously, lily. She just came over to talk. We were both upset about things going on in our lives, and we turned to each other for support like we always do ’cause we’re friends. And…it just happened. And now there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s done, it’s over with. Can’t take it back.

Jack: Now, hold on. I am not holding you responsible for ashley leaving in the middle of the meal. Look, I understand her upset, but you are sharing your heartfelt feelings about your newfound place in the family.

Diane: Well, I’m glad that my true feelings came across, at least to some people at the table.

Jack: Unfortunately, I don’t think ashley’s ever going to accept you as an abbott.

Diane: Well, her nasty attitude towards me I can live with. But it’s her sheer determination to destroy me that’s the problem. And now she’s amassed this ruthless mini army behind her. She’s got nikki and phyllis, that reporter, talia morgan, and tucker. They have basically forced me to declare war to defend and protect myself.

Jack: Let’s be careful of the language we use. Saying it’s war is pretty extreme.

Diane: Yes, but it’s accurate. And I am terrified of how you and kyle might feel if things get ugly.

Jack: This doesn’t have to be a battle. Sometimes non-engagement is the best defense. Or is that out of your skill set?

Ashley: I haven’t changed my mind. Diane pushed me too far. And she had the nerve to insinuate her way into my family. She sat her butt down at the abbott dinner table on thanksgiving, no less.

Tucker: The nerve.

Ashley: Yeah. The nerve. I’m done. I am lowering the boom on her.

Tucker: I hope you are successful. I feel like I’ve given you all the ammunition you could possibly need. But my involvement with diane officially ends here.

Nikki: All those years in L.A., We knew diane was up to no good.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah. And then, when we heard — or, found out, rather — that she was moving money illegally for a known felon, jeremy stark, I mean, this was more than we could have even imagined.

Nikki: Oh, she was aiding and abetting. And somehow, he got sent to prison, but she was never even arrested.

Phyllis: Yeah, interesting. Without any scrutiny by the fbi.

Nikki: We think that she may have cut a deal with the feds to send stark to prison.

Phyllis: What do you think of that? That’s a good story.

Talia: I’m still trying to persuade my publisher to get past his diane jenkins moratorium. And I definitely wouldn’t risk my professional reputation by attempting a freelance article or pitching a book based on hearsay. So do either of you have any proof that diane worked for stark or the fbi?

Phyllis: Well, we’re working on that.

Nikki: We were hoping that you would have your own resources to help us nail that down.

Talia: I’m sorry, ladies. I don’t like where you’re taking things.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Summer: So, what is this idea that could keep you in town for a while?

Daniel: Yeah, it’s just something that I’ve been working on that…I think could be really big.

Summer: Bigger than coming to work with me at marchetti? Because I was kind of thinking about offering you a position.

Daniel: I really feel like this project is worth pursuing. Yeah, look, I just — I don’t want to talk about it too much. I don’t want to jinx it.

Summer: Okay. I won’t press. But I really do think that we could use your talents at marchetti — if this other idea doesn’t pan out. God, how amazing would it be for harrison to grow up with his big cousin lucy?

Daniel: Right. Yeah, but, I mean, I told you that heather and lucy, they’re in portugal for the foreseeable future.

Summer: Well, you are more than enough for now. I really cannot wait for you to meet harrison. Look at us. Making mom a grandma twice?

Daniel: Oh. Yes. Doesn’t that just sound like mom? Hmm? Can you just picture her as a sweet little innocent old granny?

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: Um, talia, I’m sorry. Uh, maybe you misunderstand. We’re just trying to expose the truth here. I mean, diane always has been a criminal. She’s a criminal, and she needs to be stopped.

Talia: I get that that’s your endgame, but in my business, the ends don’t justify the means. It’s looking to me like all you’re interested in now is hearsay, anything and everything that could hurt diane.

Nikki: Now, talia, we cannot forget who this woman is, the crimes she committed and very well may still be committing.

Talia: You’ve made your hatred of diane more than clear, but, frankly, enough is enough. I’m sorry. I’m a journalist, not a hatchet woman. Unless you have something solid, please don’t contact me again.

Lily: I mean, is there any way that you can work things out with amanda and find your way back to each other?

Devon: No, lily. She deserves a lot better than what I’ve done to her.

Lily: Well, I mean, I don’t disagree with you. But I thought you and abby were always solidly in the friendzone. It’s like, what, are you gonna be together now?

Devon: No, she’s trying to still work things out with chance, so I don’t see that happening.

Lily: Okay. Then why don’t you fly to virginia and try to work things out with amanda?

Devon: Because she’s made it very clear she doesn’t want me to do that, and it wouldn’t work even if I did. So, honestly, I don’t even know how I feel about the whole situation, aside from the fact that I hate that I’ve hurt somebody that I care about and that I love, and that I’ve essentially ruined a marriage. It’s now going to affect dominic.

Lily: Look, you can’t just blame yourself. Abby played a part in this, too.

Devon: Yeah. She was going through her own rough patch with chance.

Lily: Yeah, but still, I mean, it’s not just your fault. She chose to handle it the way that she did. You’re both responsible for this.

Devon: Oh, I know. I’m well aware. I’m well aware we acted on impulse, and I just feel like I’ve lost my grip on how to maintain relationships in my life that actually matter to me. What’s that look?

Lily: I don’t know. I just understand… how you feel about maintaining relationships. I feel like I’m losing my grip on my own relationship with billy.

Ashley: I can’t believe that you’re actually going to abandon me when I need you most.

Tucker: I’m not abandoning you. I’m just letting you take the lead on all the diane business.

Ashley: I thought you were a take-charge kind of guy, tucker.

Tucker: I am, but I’m also a “delegate when someone else has more expertise” type of guy.

Ashley: Then you do have more intimate knowledge where diane’s concerned, don’t you?

Tucker: But I think my feelings for her are not quite as passionate as yours are. I think you hate her more than I have hated anything or anyone in my entire life.

Ashley: Please. I find that very hard to believe. And don’t — don’t tell me this crap about how your time in the ashram gave you some kind of great love for humanity.

Tucker: I have every confidence that you and your merry band of co-conspirators can handle things without me. And I’m still here for you in case…other needs should come up for you.

Ashley: Yeah, well, I’m very disappointed because I was counting on you to help us make our next move regarding jeremy stark. Whatever happened to “your goals are my goals”? Remember when you said that? Because it wasn’t that long ago.

Tucker: I — I’m still on your side. It’s just that my immediate goals have shifted a bit.

Ashley: Uh-oh. What are you after?

Diane: Jack, the last thing I want is war. But I think this situation is too far gone for inaction. Believe me, jack, I would hate for things to get ugly for you and kyle. But I’m not the one driving this, they are.

Jack: No, believe me, I am upset with them, too, and I made that very clear to my sister.

Diane: The scariest part is that I have tried to impress upon ashley and tucker just how ruthless and dangerous jeremy stark can be. I have warned them not to poke that bear. But now ashley and her pals may provoke him simply to try to scare me away. They don’t understand what kind of a monster jeremy stark is and how he can lash out in ways that no one can control. Hi, my name is tony cooper, 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. How white do you think your teeth really are?

Diane: I am warning you, jack. Ashley’s little nasty trio has no idea of the hornet’s nest they’re kicking. And I would be remiss if i didn’t try my hardest not to prevent some terrible outcome.

Jack: Just how terrible are we talking here?

Diane: I’m not exaggerating about how dangerous he is. I mean, jeremy might have gone to jail for financial crimes, but he’s alluded to many darker acts without confessing to them.

Jack: Like what?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, when we were together, he would make these offhanded remarks about how bad things happen to people who crossed him.

Jack: Do you think it would make a difference if ashley knew she wasn’t dealing with just any white-collar criminal?

Diane: No. I doubt it. Her hatred of me has clouded her judgment, so I need to be prepared for the worst. And I’d be willing to take this on myself if I had to, but it’s the people that are closest to me that I’m worried about the most.

Jack: What, you think he’d come after your family, that kyle and harrison could be targets?

Diane: And maybe summer and you. And jeremy might still have the resources to attack jabot. Ashley would be putting the whole family and the business at a huge risk if she reaches out to that man.

Tucker: My focus has switched to supporting my son right now.

Ashley: What’s going on with devon?

Tucker: Oh, apparently chancellor-winters is in disarray ’cause the two coos jumped ship or were fired. And since he has much more business experience than lily, he’s essentially running this big corporation by himself now.

Ashley: I think you’re kind of selling lily short. So far, she’s made a terrific ceo. I mean, she has jill’s complete support.

Tucker: Nevertheless, I just feel like he needs my help. And I think it wouldn’t be wise if I were engaged in some subterfuge against some, uh, just released federal criminal simultaneously.

Ashley: Mm. Okay. Well, I get the whole parental drive, but, I mean, I think you’re making a mistake by easing up on diane. I mean, she did go to jack. And she told him that, you know, you were going after jabot.

Tucker: Yes, I know. I know. I know. Jack showed up at my door to confront me about that very thing.

Ashley: Ohh. Way to go, big brother. You do know that he wouldn’t be the only abbott that you’d have to contend with, right?

Tucker: Yes. I’m sure you’ll make a formidable opponent.

Ashley: You’re very blasé about this. Diane is your enemy, too.

Tucker: Mm.

Devon: So, what’s billy pulled this time?

Lily: No, billy hasn’t pulled anything. It’s just more like he’s slipping away.

Devon: Does it go hand in hand with him walking away from chancellor-winters?

Lily: I don’t know. I don’t know how or why the distance is building between us. I mean, it’s not like either one of us have done anything wrong, exactly.

Devon: Well, something must have happened.

Lily: All I remember is falling in love. You know, we worked so closely together, and it just felt so natural and — and right. And now that the working relationship is gone, it’s too. I mean, he has a new focus now. I wake up in the morning, he’s already gone, and it’s just becoming clear that I’m not a part of it.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: Well, thank you for not saying “I told you so.” I know you warned me about him from the beginning.

Devon: Yeah, but I would never say that to you. Especially not now. Who am I to say anything to anybody about relationships?

Lily: I always take your words to heart. And I do listen to you, and i know that a lot of what you said has been true, but I’m not ready to give up, you know? I’m still gonna try to work on things.

Devon: Well, that’s good. That’s exactly what you should do if it’s what you want. I’ve only ever wanted you to be happy. So, if he does that for you, then you should always fight. Now, if he hurts you, though, I’m gonna —

[ Knock on door ] Yo, man, look who it is! Welcome back to town.

Daniel: Aww, thanks. It’s so good to see you.

Devon: You too.

Daniel: Lily.

Lily: Hi.

Daniel: Nice to see you again.

Lily: You too. I hope you had a good thanksgiving.

Daniel: Oh, yeah. No, it was great. It was fantastic. I spent most of it with my mother in a club.

Lily: Oh.

Devon: That’s very phyllis.

[ Laughter ]

Daniel: But, look, now that the holiday is over, I’m very excited to be meeting with you guys. So, thank you for fitting me into your schedules so quickly.

Devon: Yeah, absolutely. We’re excited to hear about this big idea you have.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: By the way, thanks for agreeing to have the meeting here. We do have nice offices, i promise you, but baby dominic is being dropped off today.

Daniel: Oh, that’s right. I heard that you and abby and chance all have a kid together. That’s got to be pretty incredible. I mean, you’re gonna have to fill me in on all the details on how that happened.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: Yeah, we’ll save th so, tell us about your business idea.

Daniel: Are we not gonna wait for billy?

Devon: No. He’s not gonna be, uh — he’s not gonna be joining us. He actually left the company not too long ago.

Lily: Yeah, so we’ll just get started. So, what’s your proposal?

Daniel: Okay. Um, like I already explained to lily, art is still very much a part of my being. It’s just, I no longer have the passion to paint on commission or to do gallery shows.

Devon: That’s too bad.

Daniel: Actually, it’s a positive thing. I’m caught up in this new energy. It’s like I feel like I want to put my talent towards something with a bigger payoff. And I’m not just talking financially. Like, I want to reach a much wider audience. You know, being a starving artist — it was fine and fun when I was younger, but not anymore.

Devon: Okay. So, what’s your plan then?

Daniel: A mega universe gaming platform.

Devon: Wow. That sounds cool. We don’t do gaming, though, at chancellor-winters.

Lily: Well, I mean, we could. We talked about it in the past. And, actually, chanccomm had a gaming division before we were sold to newman.

Daniel: That’s right. And that platform had 20 million daily active players. No reason why we couldn’t get 50 million.

Lily: No, no reason at all.

Daniel: No, no, no reason. I mean, it only takes a massive new universe of intertwined games, crossover, playable, and non-playable characters, and an actual point to playing — you know, not just to blow time, but to problem solve, to explore, to expand, to — to grow. I mean, I’m talking about games where you could actually fight your fears or conquer self-doubt. We’re talking about a universe, a universe where you will come out a better person than when you entered.

Lily: [ Laughs ] I mean, is that possible with video games?

Daniel: It is. It is. And if we partner on this, not only will we make money, but we’ll actually put something useful and worthwhile out into the world at the same time.

Devon: You really believe that, don’t you?

Daniel: Absolutely. I do. That’s why I came here — because I know that together we can make this happen.

Jack: I admit your warnings are worrisome. Precautions have to be taken. We have to protect the family and the company above all.

Diane: So, what are we going to do?

Jack: Well, ashley doesn’t listen to me any more than she listens to you, and if she thinks it’s not a real threat, then she’s gonna do what she’s gonna do. She always has.

Diane: Yeah, and if I know tucker, he’s throwing gasoline on ashley’s fire and making things even worse.

Jack: Well, that may be, but we have to focus on those who actually believe this is a real danger and want to do something about it. So kyle has to be told everything, including tucker’s demand that you give him information on jabot.

Diane: You’re right. You’re right. But I would like to be the one to tell him. I-I was going to do it anyway. I just — I just thought I would wait until after the holidays.

Jack: He needs to know now.

Diane: [ Sighs ] Alright. I will tell him today so that he can be on guard for potential attacks. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. This is about me trying to protect all of us from physical harm.

Jack: Good.

Diane: [ Sighs ] You know, it’s also about my commitment to my son and my grandson. After reconnecting with kyle and bonding with harrison, if I ran away now, I mean, it would be heartbreaking for everyone involved. They would think that I care more about self-preservation than being with them. And that’s not true. Not anymore. I will never abandon my family again. It’s not an option.

Tucker: Yeah, thank you for the warning about diane. I’m not surprised that she would take sides against me, but i just don’t see her as any kind of personal threat right now.

Ashley: Oh, because you’re so powerful?

Tucker: No. Because she’s so weak. I’m just sure that you and nikki and phyllis will send her packing very soon. You know, what I do find fascinating is how you’re taking her accusation about me going after jabot in such stride — ’cause jack was, well, not nearly as blasé as you’re being about it.

Ashley: Well, that’s because he believes her lies. He’s bought her story that you asked diane to get jabot’s financial information.

Tucker: But you trust me about that. That’s good. I’m gonna take that as a positive sign.

Ashley: Oh, don’t do that. See, what I was saying is that diane is lashing out irrationally, you know? She’s trying to lie her way out of everything, and I just don’t see you being foolish, you know? You wouldn’t be foolish and go after jabot, not when you gave the company back to my family all those years ago, right? And I don’t see you being stupid, right? Because, I mean, that would be so incredibly…

Tucker: Stupid. Yes.

Ashley: …Stupid of you to even try something like that.

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: ‘Cause you must know that there’s no way in hell it could possibly happen.

Tucker: No way in hell, no.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: But despite the, uh, ironclad logic of that argument, your brother has decided to assume the worst in me.

Ashley: Shucks. I guess you guys have history.

Tucker: Yeah. That’s true. I — I expect nothing less from jack. But you… you. I see you. No matter what you say, I sense — no, actually, scratch that. I — I truly believe that you’re starting to come around about me. You’re starting to realize that my intentions towards you are sincere, aren’t you? Hmm?

[ Plate scrapes ] You’re close. You are shockingly close to giving me a second chance. And you just don’t want to admit it, do you?

[ Fork clatters ] If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Lily: I mean, it’s a very interesting proposal.

Daniel: So, are you saying chancellor-winters might be interested?

Devon: Yeah, no, from a business standpoint, it makes a ton of sense just ’cause the gaming industry continues to blow up, especially with gen Z.

Lily: But what you are talking about is a huge undertaking.

Devon: Yeah. It’s not just an expansion. It’s gonna take a lot of research and development and market analysis.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. I’m gonna shoot you over some numbers. I want you to take a look at them when you’ve got some time. Now, listen, I’m telling you, with the infrastructure that you guys have, this is all doable.

Lily: I mean, to be fair, daniel, if we want to get into gaming, we could work with a company that’s already established.

Daniel: So, why me?

Devon: Pretty much.

Daniel: Because this is my sole focus. There isn’t a single person out there that could possibly want this more than me. I even have a passion project rolled in. It’s called “finding princess louisa.”

Lily: Oh, that sounds fun.

Daniel: The player will travel through this mythical, mystical landscape, and, uh, they’ll be searching for the missing princess. I even patterned the fearless heroine after my daughter.

Devon: Oh, wow. That’s really cool. Does lucy know? Has she seen it?

Daniel: No, not yet. She will. She will. But, look, getting back to the business aspects of this, parents — they are willing to spend a lot of money on products for their kids, especially if there’s an educational component to it.

Devon: Yeah, no, that’s — that’s very true. But this is — this is not a small step into the gaming world. This is — it’s not just a game. It’s a platform.

Daniel: Well, why think small? 50 million daily players. I’m telling you, it can be done.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: I don’t know. I like it. I like it. It’s smart. It’s lucrative. And I think if it can help people, then it’s worth doing it right.

Daniel: Well, great. Fantastic.

Lily: [ Laughs ] I mean, I’m excited for you. I’m excited for all of us. This could be a huge opportunity. Maybe, uh — maybe little lucy is our little good luck charm.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Yeah, she’s more than that. I mean, I have my daughter to thank for turning me on to gaming. You know, it’s given me a new direction and, um, a new purpose.

Tucker: Hey, audra, just checking in. Um, hope you’re making progress. Things are coming to a head here, so I think it’s time we make our move. See you later.

[ Cellphone thuds ]

Phyllis: She just walked out. I mean, we gave her gold. That would have been an amazing story, and she walked out on us.

Nikki: I can’t really blame her for leaving after you came on so strong.

Phyllis: Me? I came on strong? I was trying to keep her around. Well, we just have to find another reporter, one who gets it.

Nikki: I don’t know. I don’t know if that’s a good idea. I mean, she had a point. Publishing a story without proof would be irresponsible, and it could backfire. Diane might start looking even more sympathetic than she already is, and she’ll just say, “mean people arengPllis: Yeah, yeah. You’re right. You’re right. That’s what she does best. I can’t believe that she has dodged every bullet that we have fired at her. Every single one. She is a master manipulator.

Nikki: That woman is an affliction that cannot be wiped out no matter how hard we try.

Phyllis: No. That’s not true. She can be bested.

Nikki: I’m beginning to lose confidence.

Phyllis: Don’t lose confidence. We need to take a more drastic measure.

Diane: [ Voice breaking ] I will never make the same terrible mistake that I did before. Leaving kyle was the most devastating thing that I could have done to him. I can — I can see how much it cost him and how much pain that I put him through. Nothing and no one will ever pull me from my son or my grandson ever again.

Jack: I understand. I feel the same way. Protecting kyle and harrison is my top priority, but someone has to protect you.

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ]

Jack: I hate to admit it, but you’re right. Inaction is no longer an option.

Diane: Well, I’m glad you see that now.

Jack: Yeah, well, for the sake of your son and your grandson, I need you to rely on me to do everything I can to keep this from turning into a full-on battle.

Diane: I have complete trust in you. Thank you for standing up for me.

Jack: Hey. Hey.

Diane: [ Sobbing ]

[ Door slams ]

[ Sniffles ] How white do you think your teeth really are?

Daniel: I got to tell you, i knew coming back to genoa city was gonna be the right decision. And this is gonna be an incredible opportunity. And I am so excited to start working with you guys.

Devon: Yeah, so are we. We’re excited to learn about this new universe you’ve created.

Daniel: Oh, you’re gonna love it.

[ Laughter ] And the profits.

Lily: Oh, we don’t doubt it.

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: So, I guess you’re sticking around town a little bit longer?

Daniel: Yes, I am. I mean, thanks to you, I have a ton more work to do. Um, so, I should probably get to it.

[ Laughter ] Good seeing you guys.

Lily: Alright. See ya.

Devon: Take it easy.

Daniel: Yeah. Thanks, man.

Devon: You got it. Good to see you, man.

[ Door closes ]

Devon: He made a great pitch, huh?

Lily: Yeah, he did. Did he seem like himself to you?

Devon: Yeah, he did. He’s definitely passionate about this project, you know? He’s clearly emotionally invested in it.

Lily: Yeah, you’re right. Maybe that’s what happens when we get older — things are more urgent when you know what’s at stake.

Nikki: What kind of drastic measure are you talking about?

Phyllis: Mm, well, jeremy stark — he was released from prison yesterday, right?

Nikki: Yes, I am well aware of that. Aren’t you the least bit concerned about making contact with a hardened criminal?

Phyllis: We’re not in danger. Only diane is.

Nikki: We’re not out to put her in any physical danger, either.

Phyllis: Okay. En jeremy stark being in town is enough to send diane packing and going somewhere else and creating a fake identity or whatever she does. Who cares? We’re running out of options. It’s time we got in touch with diane’s ex.

Diane: Thanks for your support, jack, but I should get going.

Ashley: How in the world did you become so completely irrational where that woman is concerned?

Jack: I could say the same thing to you. When did tucker mccall’s words suddenly become gospel?

Ashley: There’s a big difference, jack. When it comes to tucker and me, I’m not the one being played.

Jack: You’ve taken it too far, ashley. My family is now in potential danger.

Ashley: You are in danger! You are in danger right now, succumbing to diane again!

Jack: You go to war with diane, you’re going to war with me. Is that what you want?

[ Wedding orchestral music ]

Ridge: Taylor. Everything okay?

Taylor: What?

Ridge: You look so beautiful. I know it’s been a while and it’s a wee overwhelming. What do you say? You want to do this?

Brooke: I’m so glad you’re here, dad. I’m so happy to finally meet lucy.

Stephen: Oh, it’s just our good luck that her flight was leaving from la.

Lucy: I wish the circumstances were better, considering.

Katie: It’s okay. We’re all here to support brooke.

Stephen: Well, I would have stayed longer if I had known that ridge was getting married. Why didn’t you tell me?

Brooke: Dad, I didn’t know. I didn’t want to believe it. I mean, I was holding out hope that he would change his mind. It’s too late now. I’m sure the wedding’s already started.

Donna: Look, sis, if you want to know what’s going on, I can go over to the house.

Brooke: No. I’d rather pretend this isn’t even happening. This is so wrong. I mean, ridge should be here with me, not marrying taylor.

Carter: Taylor. Are you ready? I’m sorry, ridge, I– um… I’m– I’m s– I’m sorry, everybody. I was late. I, um– you know, I woke up this morning and I was so excited about today. I knew that it was going to be perfect. And then… god, I just have so much going on in my head right now and– nice cufflinks. Like you said, this is– this is… overwhelming. For so many reasons. Just the fact that I am standing here with you right now. After I had given up hope that we could be together. And you came and you found me. And you told me that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me. And that you would protect my heart from now on. Ridge, I have to tell you something. I’m ready. I am ready to marry the man who loves me.

Ridge: I think that’s your cue.

Carter: Everyone, please sit down. Thank you for being here. Welcome. Ridge and taylor are pleased to share this momentous occasion with you. One that, like taylor said, has been a long time coming. Even though the bride and groom didn’t give me much time to plan my remarks. But, so sorry. When two people pledge themselves to be married, they aren’t just committing to a future together, but declaring their love. Today, ridge and taylor are proclaiming their deep faith and trust in each other. Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo.

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: You really don’t have to leave.

Lucy: Oh, no. You need time with your father. Our flight’s in a few hours. Oh, brooke, I’m so sorry about everything.

Brooke: It’s okay.

Lucy: Oh, girls, just wonderful to have seen you face to face. I have to do it soon again.

Stephen: Okay.

Lucy: Honey, I’ll see you at the airport.

Stephen: Okay.

Katie: So, lucy’s sweet.

Donna: Uh huh.

Stephen: I think so. She’s very good for me.

Donna: Yes, she is. You know, I am going to order some food. How about that?

Katie: Okay.

Brooke: I’m not really hungry.

Stephen: Now, wait a minute. You have to take care of yourself, young lady.

Katie: And if you can’t, then we will.

Brooke: I really appreciate that, and I’m so happy you’re here, dad, but I don’t want tea, and I don’t want food. I just want ridge to come home and tell me he made a huge mistake and that he’s not marrying taylor.

Stephen: And if he doesn’t, he never deserved you.

Brooke: Oh, dad.

Stephen: No, no. I mean it. I mean, I’m so proud of you, girls. Girls. Women! I mean, you’re powerful, wonderful, intelligent women. You’ve made beautiful lives for yourselves, for your children, and you deserve to be happy, completely fulfilled. And instead, the men in your lives have just let you down. Myself included.

Brooke: No.

Donna: Dad, no.

Katie: Come on, that was a long time ago.

Stephen: No. I’m never going to stop wanting to make up for it. I’m determined to take away all the pain and the disappointment that you’ve ever felt. Promise.

Brooke: Well, I’m not sure if disappointment is the word that I would use for what I feel right now. It’s more like I– I just feel kind of empty, you know? I’m still in shock, actually.

Stephen: Well, then tell me what to do. What can I do? Okay, I’ll cancel my flight. No, I’ll go over to the house. I’ll stop that wedding if I have to. I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I’ll do it for you. I will.

Brooke: Taylor and her kids, they finally have everything they want and she’s not going to let anybody stop her from saying “I do.”

Stephen: Oh, sweetheart.

Brooke: Oh, dad. I love you.

Carter: It’s no secret to anyone in this room how much ridge and taylor care for each other. How they’ve remained close over the years, even separated by oceans. How deeply moving it is to hear them put those feelings into words. Preparing today, taylor told me all the ways she loves ridge, as a friend, a partner, a lover. She did.

Ridge: Okay.

Carter: And dedicated father to their children. He is the family’s protector. And ridge calls taylor their heart. She is their compass. He also praises how beautiful she is and her sense of humor. But he mostly appreciates her honesty and loyalty. He never has to question her integrity and has complete faith in her sense of right and wrong. You are your family’s north star. Now, ridge and taylor, they did not just talk about each other. They talked about their kids. Now, if you want to see this guy glow with pride, ask him about his children.

[ Carter laughing ] It is so inspiring seeing ridge and steffy work side by side. How he puts his trust in her, has faith in her judgment. And he is so proud of his best man, his son. Thomas, you’ve grown so much as a designer, a father, a man. Now, I always say ridge should take some credit for that, but he would put it all down to their dedication and taylor’s positive influence.

Ridge: I do. This is not the time–

Carter: We’re not at that part yet. No. We still have some business.

Ridge: Sorry.

Carter: If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be unified in lawful matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Steffy: I do. I object. Your heart is the beat of life.

Katie: Let’s just hold off on ordering food.

Donna: I missed a text from eric and uh… the wedding started. I’m– I’m so sorry.

Brooke: No. I am. Look, dad’s here, and he doesn’t have much time with us before he leaves. And I don’t want our time together be about me feeling sorry for myself. So.

Katie: Brooke, you’re in mourning. You have suffered an unexpected loss. You can’t just push it out of your head.

Stephen: No, honey. I need to– so his mind is just– just made up?

Katie: His mind was made up for him.

Brooke: You know, when carter came over here with the annulment papers, I really thought that there was hope. Because I thought if ridge really wanted to end things, he would have come over here and done it himself. Instead, he proposed to taylor.

Stephen: It’s not like you to just give up.

Brooke: Dad. I haven’t given up. I love ridge and all of our precious memories together and our history. Everything we’ve been through. It’s all right here. And it will always be there no matter what. I will always love ridge. Even if he marries taylor today.

Ridge: What are you doing? Object to what?

Steffy: Not to you and mom getting married. I want that more than anything.

Ridge: You wanted that forever.

Steffy: It’s complicated, dad. And I– I want you to hear this, but I’m not trying to hurt you in any way. I don’t want to ruin things for you. But you need to hear what happened.

Ridge: Hear what happened? With what?

Steffy: You need to know the truth about what’s going on. Thomas, tell him.

Thomas: The truth. You know what? He proposed to mom. He loves her. He wants to be with her, and she’s going to make him happy. That’s the truth.

Steffy: If dad ended his marriage to brooke because he felt betrayed, because of the cps call–

Ridge: Why are we bringing this up now?

Steffy: I just found out about this, dad. Don’t listen to thomas. He’s trying to protect himself.

Ridge: Protect himself from what? What are you talking about?

Thomas: Don’t you want them to be together?

Steffy: Of course I do.

Thomas: Then stop!

Steffy: I can’t! If you two can’t go on with this until… until everything is out in the open. Dad, brooke didn’t hide anything from you. And I know that you gave her chance after chance to open up and confess and you wonder why she didn’T. But you deserve to know the truth. The truth about the cps call.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Stephen: You– you should be furious with ridge. I am.

Brooke: Well, I’m not, dad. I’m just hurt. And I’m heartbroken. Mostly, I’m just confused.

Stephen: That’s what makes me so angry. Ridge ended your marriage without giving you a reason, without giving you an opportunity to save it. Maybe he thinks he’s doing the right thing. But to leave you with these questions. Honey, it’s– it’s cruel. You say he still loves you, but if he knew what this was doing to you, I–

Donna: Does he?

Brooke: He knows I didn’t want this. He knows I didn’t want an annulment or for him to marry taylor. And I just signed those annulment papers because I didn’t know what else to do. I just couldn’t get through to him. I will always love him, dad. I will. And in spite of everything, I know that he still loves me.

Stephen: Oh, honey.

Finn: You mind taking them to the kitchen?

Li: Yeah, of course. Let’s go.

Finn: I’ll be right there with you, okay?

Ridge: Why? Why are we talking about brook and the cps call on my wedding day to your mother?

Thomas: You know, I think douglas should go with li and kelly.

Steffy: Stop trying to cover it up, thomas.

Ridge: Somebody tell me what’s going on here.

Steffy: It’s about the call to child protective services. You think it was brooke.

Ridge: I know it was brooke.

Steffy: Because you heard that recording. You thought it was brooke, but it wasn’T.

Ridge: What?

Steffy: No, dad.

Ridge: No, it was her. I listened to it and she said her name.

Steffy: She didn’t make that recording.

Ridge: Okay. Then who did?

Steffy: Thomas. Thomas made that recording.

Ridge: Thomas, I’m sorry, but that doesn’t make any sense.

Brooke’s voice: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger.

Ridge: Where’s that coming from?

Brooke’s voice: His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Ridge: Douglas, why do you have that–

Steffy: Dad! Stop! Stop. Let him finish. It’s okay, douglas, go ahead.

Thomas: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. His name is douglas forrester. He’s at 369 willow hill road, los angeles. His father, thomas forrester, is unstable. He has a knife.

Ridge: I don’t understand.

Douglas: It’s an app on my phone. You record your voice and you can make it sound like someone else’S.

Ridge: You did this? You called child services on yourself?

Thomas: You promised mom you wanted to marry her because you love her. It had nothing to do with brooke, the cps thing. It’s not the point.

Ridge: It’s not the point? You’re playing with my life, with brooke’s life, your mom. What are you doing?

Thoams: Trying to make you happy.

Ridge: Do I look happy to you? You set up brooke because you know exactly what I would do if somebody attacked my family. My son who’s turned his life around. You destroyed my marriage! My boy, my son. You did this!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

. Hello. I, I thought that you were having Thanksgiving in New York with, uh, Chad and the children. I was. Jennifer’s brother, Mike and Nancy Miller had us all over for dinner. Nancy Miller, uh, Craig’s ex-wife. That’s right. Apparently she and Mike are seeing each other now, and that’s a good thing. Well, Mike’s a good guy.

Certainly a step up from Clyde Weston. But then it wouldn’t be.

I’m glad that you were able to be with family today. I imagine that the holidays have been especially painful this year. That’s why I decided to come back to work, see what’s going on at The Spectator. Checking up on me. Are you? You are working away. When I came in, big story. Could be you snapped that laptop shot as soon as you saw me, almost like you didn’t want me to see what you were writing.

You’re joking, right? No, this is a serious question. Did you kidnap Bonnie and Susan?

Oh, aj, it’s me again. Listen, will you call me back when you get this? I know you wanna be alone, but I’m just worried about you. I just hope you’re not doing anything. Oh, I hear the door. Maybe that’s you. Oh, Chad. Sorry. Disappoint. I know. Not at all. I was just happy you were Hij. I’m just worried about him.

Mother. Is that you?

Do you need any holler? It’s not your mother you dumb clock.

Yes, again.

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

The article’s about pulling a price. The governor elect’s daughter has been charged with murder. Every news organization in the country is covering this. Would you rather The Spectator didn’t? Are you kidding? It’s happening right here in Salem. You have access to the inside story. You can scoop every newspaper in the country.

I’m hardly what you’d call a seasoned reporter. Wait, wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you afraid that you are not up to writing this story? Is that why you wouldn’t let me look at your draft? No, I mean, . Yes. I mean, there’s something more too. What are you not telling me? Chad doesn’t want me to write about Paulina and Chanel.

Chad, Chad has no business telling you what to write or not to write. I I’ll take care of this right now. Please. Yeah, there’s, there’s, there’s more. Okay. I’ve told Chad that I would do what he wants.

So how come you dropped by, I thought you were gonna spend the holiday in new. Uh, I was, and actually Thomas and Charlotte are still there. Jennifer promised to take ’em for all the holiday fun they can handle. Sir, you didn’t want to join them? I did, but I figured I should come and check on ej. I heard what happened to Susan.

You think I kidnapped two women? Well, I remember what you told me after you quit your job. That your boss wanted you to do something illegal and you decided that meant kidnapping. Yeah. Well, you wouldn’t tell me what she asked you to do, and when I tried to press you on it, you gave me a very vague answer, baby, I know you.

I know that you’re holding something back and it’s big. When you came into the room, when I was watching that news report about the kidnapping, I saw the look on your face. I know Susan Bonnie. I was. What’s your boss ask you to do? I told you Rednecks, who’s a small drug company, right? Whether had to bring a new painkiller to market and they’re gonna claim that it’s not addictive, but it’s a lie.

I don’t wanna be a part of an operation like that. Well, you didn’t tell me that. I mean, my God’s did. Or I’m a doctor. That company has to be stopped. Well, I need you’d say that, which is why I didn’t tell you. But if they’re trying to get people addictive, she dunno who my boss is, what she does to people that crossing.

And you do how her talk. Hmm. That doesn’t sound like an executive of a drug company. That sounds like Ava Vitali.

Are you really here or am I that drunk? Of course I’m here. Did you think you could get rid of me that easily? So you are really here, but your, your car went off the embankment. The petrol tank exploded. A fireman told me that no one could make it our alive. Huh? Well then I guess that means I’m dead.

Yeah. It’s not that bad. Actually. Maybe you’d like to join me.

I can’t believe that Chad would ask you to bury a story this big, and I can’t believe that you would agree to do it. Yeah, well that’s because my main source is my dodgy ex former lawyer, Sloane Peterson. She said she had all the dirt on Chanel’s arrest, and she promised me an exclusive. And did she deliver?

I’ll say she showed me all the evidence that she sent over to the DA, and it looks pretty damning. But Chad said, if I do not fact check every word that Sloan gave, The spectator could be open to a liable suit and it could be put out of business. So you decided not to print it? Well, not exactly. I’m still in the process of getting it vetted.

See, the thing is, I, I don’t wanna cost the, the spectator this exclusive story of the year, but then I don’t wanna put my byline on on something that could be a lie. So, Tell me what should I do?

I don’t know about you, but these chairs I don’t think are very comfortable. I’m lucky for us, this is a very big house with a whole lot of rooms, and a lot of those rooms do have beds in them. So , I really appreciate your attempt at Sty. Is that a. You are impossible.

Oh, sorry. Hey, I didn’t know the two of you were in here. , Maggie. Hi. Happy Thanksgiving. Oh, it’s so good to see you too. So good. We’re just having a little Thanksgiving dinner. Again. Yeah. Hey, my parents are in Seattle with Trip and Joey, so Alex invited me over to Share Your Leftovers. Oh. Trip. He must be having a miserable holiday after what happened with Ava.

Yeah. That’s why mom and dad stayed out there. Yeah. You know, it must be so hard trying to be a good son to a mother like her. I still can’t believe what she did. Yeah. Or Susan Banks. She was such an innocent, she, she shouldn’t have died the way she did. I can’t help wondering if it was all a terrible accident or if Ava drove her car off of that embankment on purpose.

What do you think you’re doing? Boy, you must be loaded. Thought it was fairly obvious. Oh, but for all you know. I’m not really here. I’m just your version of a pink elephant hurt. You calling for your mommy feeling a little guilty. Are you suggesting that you are my conscience? Well, you are the reason all this happened.

You could have just given me the money and taken your mother home, but no, no. You had to prove that you were smarter than me, that you were better than me. And so what did you do? You took. The only son that I had left and kidnapped him didn’t really work out the way you planned, did it? No, because my boy is alive and well.

And your mother, what’s left of her? That’s right. She’s down there. How do I know about for sure? Anina. What? For sure. You’re forgetting one very important detail. I don’t have a conscience. So you are here in the flesh and you made it out of that crash alive. So perhaps my mother did too.

How’s EJ doing? This is probably a stupid question. I’m sure he is devastated. He is. He blames himself. Assistance Jeff. Now he’s convinced himself that he deserves to suffer because of it. Well, he didn’t prove that Ava’s marriage to Jake was a fraud and force her out of. Although I can’t imagine he expected her to retaliate like that.

Well, actually, actually what? I’m afraid that’s not all he did

you think I’d work for the likes of Rav retaliate? I don’t think that you would want to, but you were so desperate to make money and get us out of here. And the more I started to think about that, the more things started to add up, we’ll sings. Okay. Bonnie said that the guy who grabbed her was wearing a blue suit.

You have a blue suit. I love blokes too. She said that she could tell that there were major muscles under that suit. A lot of OC are well built. My mom said that the kidnapper texted her from Bonnie’s phone saying not to worry because she’d be with Mimi. Do a lot of blokes know Bonnie’s life so well that they can mention her daughter by name?

Would a lot of blokes know how to keep two women prisoner in the kiya as shed because they used to work there as the gardener. He, my wife, are the da. I am the wife who loves you and doesn’t want to believe that you did this even though a lot of the pieces fit. Sandra, if you had something to do with this, you have to tell me now.

EJ kidnapped Trip Johnson? Not personally, but he gave the order. Well, I don’t think he intended to harm the young man. I just think he just wanted to be able to trade him for Susan. Oh yeah. That makes it better. Well, let me guess. He, he, he, he figured that if he just kidnapped the poor kid, he could save himself 30 million bucks.

Well, that was only part of the reason. I think he did it primarily for, for leverage. What Leverage well, can, can, victims are killed sometimes, but mu ransom is paid. But you know that I think he was just trying to keep his mother alive. Yeah, I guess I can see that. Listen, I devoted this to you because you’re my brother and I trust.

But there’s one thing that troubles me. You work with Trip sister Stephanie? I don’t work with her. I work for her. But you do consider her as a friend? Yeah. So, so I need you to tell me that you won’t tell her that EJ had anything to do with her brother’s kidnapping. Both of our families have been through a real ordeal.

Thank God. Tripp is safe and Bonnie’s gonna be okay. Yes, she will be. Eventually, what does that mean? I told you she wasn’t in great shape at dinner. Yeah. You know, it’s, it’s hard to recover from being afraid for your life, but she will get better once they catch that clown that did that to her. Right

on. Maggie, do you know something about this guy? I just left Sarah and, uh, she has a theory about what happened. It sounded kind of farfetched to me. Hmm. Can you tell us what she said?

You have to keep it to yourself. We will.

Well, she’s afraid that the man in the clown mask. Might have been zander.

I can appreciate that You want to make the most ethically sound decision. Well, you know, I don’t really have a reputation for truth telling. We both know that, and if any report is gonna be accused of slander, it’s. . So you have to be careful with what you write, but you have been, well, that’s only cause I have you teaching me and backing me up.

Look, the public is a right to know what’s going on in Paulina’s life. So you think I should ignore what Chad wants? Chad is a good guy, but look, he’s working for a Pauline’s PR team. He may have been doing her bidding when he asked you to bury the story. Yeah, I know. I thought of that too, but, I just don’t wanna hurt or upset him anymore than I have.

Look, journalists and PR teams have been fighting since the beginning. I’m telling you right now, you’re gonna have to make a judgment call. Yeah, judgment isn’t really my best event.

The past I would agree,

but I can appreciate. The hard work that you’ve been putting in and how determined you are to be a good reporter really, really makes me feel better about not hiring Xander.

Will you please say something, Sarah? I just feel, I dunno if so hurts because of me. What? I said, look, I went out and I got what I thought was a good job so. Pay off all our debts and moves into a real home. And you said you believed in me. You have no idea what that meant to me. That, that you think I’m a changed man now?

Seems like you think I did something that, but led to two women getting killed. I didn’t want to say that. I just felt like I had to because of a blue suit and some muscles. No, it was more than that. That company that you said you worked for, redneck Victor said he’d never heard of it. I told you it’s a startup one that’s about to market a new pain medication according to you.

So there shouldn’t be any problem looking it up, right? He talking. Well, it’s had to have been around long enough to have a website. Oh, so my, so my word’s not good. You’re seriously gonna look it up. What’s wrong with that? Fine. If you don’t believe me. Go ahead.

Oh, Susan is definitely dead. And you are the soul of honesty. I made sure of it. You wore. Who do you think yanked the steering wheel and drove us off the cliff? He deliberately did that. Of course I did. It was the only way to get even with you. God, I actually believed.

Actually believe that you just ran off the road. Come on. We both know that 30 million didn’t mean anything to you. I wanted to cause you the maximum amount of pain and suffering,

and I realized I could do that with one hard turn to the right.

So you can go ahead, search all you want, search through the brush, search through the wreckage. You’re never gonna find her. So how are you alive? Because I jumped out of the car before it rolled into the embankment. Susan,

Susan was definitely in it when it blew up.

Your mommy is dead

and now it’s your turn.

You are glad you didn’t hire Xander for the job. What does that mean? Xander asked me for a job at The Spectator when, right after your accident, Y I was in the hospital waiting for you to be discharged, and Xander came up and asked me right there. I had no idea. I had just offered you the job. I knew how you still felt about Xander, so I decided right then and there, it was not a good idea for the two of you to be working closely together.

And so you turned him down. I turned him down, and now you seem to be thriving at the Spectator, so I could see it was a good idea. It is a good idea for the two of you to keep a great deal of distance from each other. Uh, actually we haven’t been doing that.

Look, Sarah and um, I. The company’s website, it’s right here.

You think I would rat out my own brother? So after what happened to Abi Girl getting that so far-fetched? No. But then Clyde Wesson tried to kill me. EJ showed up and he saved my life. Not to mention he just lost his mother and I know how much he loved her. I’m not gonna play along, so you won’t say anything to Stephanie.

Thank you. I’m worry about ej. Carol tells me that he’s been gone for hours. God knows where he is ended up. Don’t worry, ej, I’m about to put you outta your misery.

You and Xander have been seeing each other? No. No. Nothing like that. I mean, we’ve just, just been bumping into each other every now and then. I’m, it was a bit awkward at first. I can imagine. But now I’m just glad I, I, I think we can be friends. Are you being straight with me? Yeah. I, I, I, I just saw him the other day actually, and he told me about his new job.

I told him about my job, you know, like that just, it’s all friendly. Honestly, I’m just glad that he doesn’t hate me anymore. Are you sure that that’s all it is? Because I remember how in love with him, you.

And now he’s married to Sarah. I don’t wanna see you hurt anymore. I appreciate that. But really this has all just forced me to take a really hard look at the reality of my life. And the reality is that sand doesn’t love me. He loves Sarah and he’s very committed to their life together, and he’s happy. So I’m happy.

Because he is my friend now and I want, I want what’s best for him.

Oh, God. I, I don’t, I don’t know what to say. I. I mean, I should have known that you wouldn’t make up some complicated lie about where you were working, and I can’t believe that I accused you of kidnapping Bonnie and Susan. What is wrong with me? Nothing, absolutely nothing wrong. You’re perfect. You swore that you would never go back to the life that you were living before and I didn’t believe you.

I’m so sorry. You have nothing to apologize.

I mean, look, there’s even a posting for your job. There it, yeah, right here. Vice president in charge of sales. Wasted no time putting that up. Yeah. Would they must have realized what a loss you were. My mom even told me that. You taught this out with Maggie? Yeah. Well, and I’m gonna call her and tell her what a huge mistake I made.

I’m, you ever forgive me.

You and I better try to find dj. Any ideas where to start? Yes. as good as any, oh, it’s. Hello? Hey, this is Tony. Yes. Chat now. We’re just gonna go out to find him. You did where? Thank you. We’ll be right there. Pray knows where he is. Okay. This seems to be drowning his horn, neither our site. You know where that is.

Right, right, right. Let’s go.

I am glad that you and Zander have gotten to a good place. Didn’t see that coming, did you?

I’m proud of you.

I didn’t expect to hear those words from you ever again.

You’ve earned it. So, uh, why don’t we see what you’ve got from Sloan. Give me all the words and we’ll see if we can come up with a slap for your story. Well, right now. Yeah, sure. What star Thanksgiving.

I, I think it would feel good to be advising a daughter mine again. Oh, Chuck,

why don’t you call me dad and, uh, not just occasionally,

I’m gonna get my things. Take him upstairs, get unpacked. We’ll get down here. We’re good to work. Okay. How can I have him repay you?

Make me a Turkey sandwich.

Sarah really thinks that Xander kidnapped Susan and Bonnie. You have to keep this quiet, Alex, if Victor finds out, I just don’t know what he’ll do. I mean so much for this new leaf that Xander supposedly turned over. From what you’ve told us, Sarah doesn’t have much to go on. Maybe she. Overreacting. That’s what I said.

I, I mean, this guy would’ve to be out of his mind to do something like that to dad’s wife. I mean, Xander’s a member of the family. Yes. But he’s desperate to get his hands on some money. But he has to know how Sarah would feel if he committed a crime to get it. Sarah, I know would be done with him, and it seems to me that he really does love her.

Oh, he does. That’s why I don’t see how he would jeopardize what they have together, not after everything they’ve been through with Kristen and Gwe.

Darling night, I don’t blame you for being suspicious, given the life I’ve led. That was years ago. I should have known that you wouldn’t do something like that. Yeah, I made you feel terrible. Must survive. I dunno what to. Let’s not talk about it. Why don’t we, uh, just scoff down the, or the leftovers, your mum over.

Yeah, that sounds like a plan. I have so much thankful for. We both do.

Hey,

there’s nothing left in this fast.

Oh, my head is sw. Ah yeah. Hey, hey. Ava. Ava, she was here. Djj. That’s not possible. She had a gun. I tried to take it from her and I fell okay. I thought, I thought she was gonna kill me. Listen you, you drank a boat load. Sure. You really saw her. I’m telling you, she was here. She pointed a gun at me. If she was here and she meant to kill you, stopped her.

We gotta get into the hospital. No, I’m not going to any hospital. Listen, you fell down, you hit your head, you were unconscious. That cut. Bear cut’s gonna need stitches. Don’t you understand? I fell when I was fighting aver and she got away. We need to find her. Okay? You too. You have to be quiet about what Sarah said to me now.

Mm-hmm. . You bet. Okay. Well, I’m gonna check on Victor and make sure he, he isn’t raiding the fridge. It gives him indigestion. Oh yes, you too. Night, Maggie. Good night.

Now what were we talking about right before Maggie showed up? Oh, I remember. I remember. Slow down tiger. Why? I think. It is a good thing that Maggie showed up when she did. You weren’t having a good time. Oh, I was having a good time. And what’s the problem? I, I just, I just have this feeling that even I should take things one step at a time.

I hate doing that. I know. But think about how much we’ll both be looking forward to our next date. So there’s gonna be a next date. Mm-hmm. . I think the odds are excellent. Well then in that case,

may I walk you out? I would like that.

Thank you.

My mom’s outta everything. It’s even a bottle of wine in here. Ooh, this is the good stuff. Hmm. It needs to be chilled. Yeah. You think so? Hmm, definitely. Maybe the, uh, ice machine is working today. Oh. We can only help. I will find a cork screw, um, here.

I ever think that he would make up an entire company.

Thank God he’s so understanding.

You are phoning me on Thanksgiving. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. Tell me. Well, I got back to our room and Sarah accused me of being behind the kidnapping. Why? She figured out the whole thing. I, for God’s sake, what did you do? I stood there like a fool and tried to deny it. So are you in trouble?

No, because Sarah decided to prove that Rednecks was a fake company by looking for a website, and she found one. How did you know that? Because I built it and I put it online. I’ve never done one before, so it’s a bit simplistic, but um, I thought it would. Doing a pinch. Oh my God, you saved my. I dunno to thank you.

It’s no need to thank me. That’s what friends are for. You don’t believe me? You don’t think she was Willy here? I’m sure she seemed real to you. I talk to me. That rubbish. She hates you. You passed out on the ground. Why didn’t she finish you off? I, I can’t answer that. Okay. Okay. Let’s go. Let’s go.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

T.J. Holmes. That’s dr. Ashton, that’s emily, sasha, gloria. For all of us here at abc news, have yourself a great monday. Very pleasant, this one. We’ll miss her when her rehab’s complete. Really? Thank you. Well, hello again, detective handsome.

[ Chuckles ] Wanna model for me? How’s my brother? Tj’s in with robert now. I should be with him, too. I’ve got this, mac. I need you to stay on task. You know how important this is. I’m on it. Okay. I’m officially all yours. I appreciate you meeting so last minute. I wouldn’t have called if it weren’t important. Hmm. Well, it sounded that way on the phone. What’s up? I’ll have mac explain. Hmm! Mac? Mac, hello. Wow. Now, I’m — I’m doubly intrigued. What could the chief of detectives and G.H.’S top psychiatrist possibly want with me? Your help. Catching esme prince.

[ Screams, gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Sorry about that, ace. Didn’t mean to wake you up. That felt like a nice stretch.

[ Chuckles ] I still can’t believe you’re…moving around.

[ Door opens ] What are you doing here? I’m here to help you. Nikolas: Ava, I love you. I’m thinking of you.

[ Doorbell rings ] Uncle victor. Uh, tonight is not a good night for a visit. I…really wish that you would call first. Oh, this isn’t a visit, dear boy. Would you have demetrius pick up the rest of my bags from the launch? What’s this? Hmm? What does it look like? I’m finally moving in tonight. Uh, liesl just begged off. She was gonna bring the — she’s with britt. I don’t know. Something came up. Well, it’s nice that liesl can spend the holiday with britt. What about you and kevin? You gonna go see, uh, lulu? No, not this thanksgiving. I don’t see how we can with everything that’s going on. Besides, I don’t want to leave my brother martin alone right now. Yeah, yeah, that poor guy. Scott, I know this has affected you, too, and I want you to know that I won’t rest until I have found lucy’s real shooter and brought them to justice.

U know, you were verymisleading, nurse baldwin. I believed that you were here to help me. I am helping you. Your blood pressure is fine. But stop with the screaming. The stress hormones are really bad for you and the baby. Look around. I am locked in a tower. You are covering for nikolas. That is not help. I am doing the best I can to help you have a healthy pregnancy. I gather you haven’t had any prenatal care. I don’t want to scare you, but you should take pregnancy seriously. There could be complications. If it’s so dangerous, shouldn’t I be under the care of a doctor and not under house arrest? I guess you’re gonna have to make do with me. But don’t worry. I totally know what I’m doing. How could I not worry? I am trapped in here with no idea of what’s to become of me. Please, elizabeth, you have to convince nikolas to let me go. Even if I wanted to, I don’t think nikolas would listen, not after you attacked him. He’s making that up! He didn’t make up you attacking me. I-I was in “fight or flight” mode. Nor did he make up you filming and distributing revenge porn, victimizing josslyn and my son. You remember doing that? So, that’s it. You’re committed to being nikolas’ accomplice. Would you rather have your baby in prison? This is a prison with no oversight or chance of parole. And what happens to me after I give birth? Did nikolas tell you that? As a matter of fact, he did. You’ll be taken to greece, where you’ll live a life of luxury on cassadine island. Do you really believe that nikolas is gonna take care of me for the rest of my life? I want esme to rot. But I’ve already told the cops everything I can think of. I-I haven’t seen her in months. We know esme was back in port charles. Unfortunately, her trail went cold when she crossed with elizabeth baldwin on the docks. Well, if I knew where she was, I would serve her up, head on a platter. Well, figuratively speaking, of course. We don’t think you’d know how to find her. We think you know someone who does. Axel: Sorry, mr. Chamberlain, I don’t see any new articles about the hook killer. Huh. How about this? “Prisoner anna devane remains at large after escaping a prison transport.” Okay. That’s a no. How about sports? There’s football, basketball.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, look. They’ve got pickleball. So, how about it, detective dashing? Mind if I…investigate your firepower? Whoa.

[ Laughing ] Artistically, of course. Ah, look, I’m here to ask you some questions about the prison transport crash. That old news? Old n– that’s — that’s an ongoing investigation. That’s not old. All business, huh? Not even a, “hi. How are you?” Hi. How are you, ms. Webber? Call me heather. Heather. Thank you. I’m here on official police business, but if you don’t want to cooperate, then I’ll, uh — I’ll go and leave you to it.

[ Scoffs ] Cool your jets, mr. Serious. I’ll tell you everything you wanna know. For a price.

[ As hannibal lecter ]

Quid pro quo, clarice.

[ Laughs ] Robert’s stable. He’s sleeping it off. Can I see him? Mm-hmm. Jordan: You said sleeping it off. Do you really think robert had too much to drink? Could be. We ran a tox screen, but we’re waiting for the results. What are you thinking? That the D.A. Was drugged. Why the urgency? Why did you need to move in tonight? There’s been a development in my plans. Plans that necessitate you hiding out on a secure island? Well, it had better be secure. I need to prepare my family for what’s to come. It seems you and spencer are the only cassadines I can trust right now. Although, of course, the snail’s pace of your divorce from ava is a continuing cause of concern. Now, more than ever, nikolas, you need to get your house in order. If you’re moving in to ensure my cooperation, you needn’t bother. I already told you I agree to your terms. Well, forgive me, but I need a little more assurance than your word. Well, the house is still undergoing renovations, and it isn’t prepared for you yet. Then prepare it. Tonight, the tide turns for this family. I just saw an enormous woodchuck floating up into the sky. Wow, yeah, you probably haven’t seen a parade for a while.

[ Chuckles ] You know something? The mayor gets priority seating in the staging area. You’re welcome to join us, if you like. That sounds lovely, but I have somewhere to be. I booked my rideshare to pick me up in the plaza. I wasn’t expecting this. You have plans with robert? Not tonight. Uh, it’s business, not pleasure. Ohh. I didn’t know you had a job. The night before thanksgiving? What kind of business?

I’m not authorized to make you a deal. But if I were you, I’d want to assist us. Who knows how that could work out for you down the line? Sweetheart… mm-hmm? …You want my help, come back with someone who can make a deal. Okay. Good luck with the painting. You’ll have plenty of time to get good at it.

[ Door closes ] Hello, craig. Thank you so much for letting that charming detective in to visit me. Would you be an absolute dear and escort me so I could make a teeny-weeny phone call? I won’t know anything until I look at the tox screen. Right. I put a rush on it. Thanks, honey. Keep me posted. Will do.

[ Groans ] Oh, good. Oh, robert, you’re up.

[ Exhales heavily ] Oh. Where am I? Looks like a hospital. You don’t remember? I remember — I remember tequila. Ohh.

[ Chuckling ] Tequila, yes, yes. You and holly shared some tequila shots. You had a bad reaction. She took you back to your room, and she asked me to give your wsb contact the message. Ohh. Where is she? Holly? She’s — where — where’s my briefcase? You didn’t have it on you when you stumbled off of the elevator. A-a-and holly? I haven’t seen her since the two of you left the metro court and went back to your room. Get ashford here, now! I realize it’s counterintuitive to be working over the holidays, but unfortunately some work won’t wait. I’m sure, as mayor, that’s something that you understand more than most. Oh, I absolutely do. With the ongoing hunt for anna and the continuing search for lucy’s real shooter, I imagine I’ll be working tonight, too. I will, however, find some time to spend with my brother, martin, because we both… saw our holidays going very differently.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yeah. Scott baldwin here. Heather: Scotty!

It’s your old pal,

heather. Oh, heather, for crying out loud. Come on. Come on. What do you want? Now, don’t be a grouch. Come to spring ridge and visit me and find out. I promise you, it’ll be worth your while. Esme: Think about it. I get whisked away and holed up on some foreign island. No one to bother to look for me. Do you really believe that nikolas will just keep me around indefinitely? Once I give birth to his child, I’ll be completely disposable. What you’re suggesting won’t happen. But, you know, nikolas is loyal to the people he cares about. So my advice — make sure he cares about you. Like he was loyal to his son? You’re behind on your blood work. I’ll make sure to do it next time I’m here. Which is when? I’ll come every couple of days until you deliver. Take these. One a day. Prenatal vitamins. I’m guessing you didn’t take any during your first trimester? I’ve been a little busy. Well, now you’ve got the time. They’ll make your baby grow healthy and strong. You know, getting out of this room would work wonders in that regard. Take your vitamins, esme. You’re not getting out of here any time soon.

[ Door closes ]

[ Sighs ] Ava: Well, why are you wasting time talking to me if you know somebody who can lead you to esme? You’re a pivotal part to our plan. And you have the right to refuse. Refu– refuse? What, exactly? Esme is cunning and dangerous. We questioned everyone she’s had a relationship with in port charles. Except one. Well, don’t keep me in suspense. Who? My brother. Despite my best efforts, esme managed to forge a connection with ryan while she was interning at spring ridge. Ryan will know how to find esme. He refused to communicate with kevin. It’s unlikely he’ll cooperate with the police. We thought if we gave him some incentive to cooperate… right. You… you want to use me as bait.

of what I’m asking you to do. This is completely up to you. You’re the one person that ryan is likely to communicate with, but it’s not worth it if it will only cause you more trauma. Say no more. I’m in. Take some time to think about it. You don’t need to rush into this. We don’t have time. Esme terrorized this town long before she started her murderous rampage. We have to get to her before she gets to trina. That’s the theory, right? It is. That esme is the killer and that the ultimate target is trina. It is. Well, then we have to find esme and stop her. And — and if I have to go see ryan to get that done, then so be it. I’ll do it. I’ll do whatever you ask. When do you need me? Right now. Ugh! Come on, think! What would daddy do? Ryan: Thought you’d never ask. Did you hear elizabeth? Oh, god. She calls herself a nurse. She didn’t even help me. She’s too busy holding a grudge because of that stupid sex tape. I told you — don’t get distracted by spencer and his insipid friends. You know, I-I don’t have time for “I tu old yoso”S. Help me figure a way out of here. Ugh. I get so tired of repeating myself. Use the baby. How? Well, the baby’s health is dependent on you, right? You saw how frightened nikolas was when he thought you were in distress. Mm-hmm, until nurse baldwin threatened to perform a c-section without anesthesia. Yeah, she called your bluff, alright. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t build on a successful tactic. How? Those vitamins she gave you. Throw them out. What good would that do? Refuse to take care of yourself. If your health suffers, the baby suffers. But if I harm the baby… then I could lose, um… …I could lose my only leverage. The baby is your only leverage. You don’t have another option. Make sure that nikolas knows what’s at stake.

[ Gasps ] Scotty. Oh! It’s so good of you to come. Aww. Okay. Hiya, heather. Listen, uh, I’m here because you’re franco’s mother. So…what do you want? Our boy was such a beautiful soul, honey.

[ Sniffles ] I just hate that he was taken in such a violent, cruel way. Yeah, yeah, I-I-I know. I know. I know. So, uh, what are you — what are you, uh… still painting, huh? Yeah. Well, that’s what franco and I shared in common. Oh, look what I just did. You know, I like that, though. These works, though — they just lack my usual depth.

[ Sighs ] How can you tell? It’s because of my neck. What’s wrong with your neck? Didn’t you hear? My prison transport crashed horribly. My neck’s just been in agony ever since. I-I can hardly paint.

[ Sighs ] Well, for crying out loud, heather, that — that’s why you’re here in — in rehab. I have half a mind to sue the city of port charles and the pcpd for physical and emotional distress. Isn’t that your area of expertise? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No judge is ever gonna sign off on an institutionalized crackpot. But what if I was a free woman? Who’s gonna let you out?

You are. Well, think of the perks, nikolas. This way, you won’t have to be spending thanksgiving alone. Don’t expect a turkey dinner. I’m not really in a celebratory mood this year. Oh, is that because of spencer? Or ava? Or both? Among other things. Oh, I’m sorry, nikolas. I don’t remember you telling me you had company. I do recall saying it wasn’t a good time. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Oh, no, please. You’re not interrupting. The staff is moving me in. I’m afraid I’m the one interrupting. You’re moving in? Tonight? Ah. How cozy. Yes, well, I just got sick and tired of living out of suitcases. I found myself craving family.

[ Chuckles ] But listen, why don’t I start getting unpacked and, uh, not detract from your evening any further? I’ll, uh — I’ll pick out a suite on the north tower. No!

[ Sighs ] The repairs aren’t finished yet. It is not safe. Y-you’re gonna have to stay in the south tower. Aw. That’s a pity. Mm. Views are so much nicer in the north tower. Well, it was, uh — it was a delight to see you, elizabeth. What the hell, nikolas? He’s living here now? Are you trying to get caught? Gavin? Yeah, I just arrived on spoon island. What have you found out about the necklace? And where the hell is holly sutton? I can’t believe scott went to see heather webber. I mean, whatever she’s up to, it can’t be good. Now I need to be going, too. I wonder what’s happened to my rideshare. Where are you going? Oh, my meeting’s out of town.

[ Chuckles ] You’re taking a rideshare out of town tonight, the night before thanksgiving? You know it’s gonna cost you a fortune. Why didn’t robert take you? Robert doesn’t know. I’m going back to doing some contract work for government agencies, and I know that he won’t approve. Because of my memory issues and — and also because of how my last assignment ended. But I am as sharp as ever. I am. And I — I need a purpose. Good for you. I’d be happy to take you wherever you’re going. Oh, no, I couldn’t trouble you with — oh, no, no, no. I insist. I-I won’t take “no” for an answer. Robert is a very good friend of mine, and I know he wouldn’t want you taking a rideshare out of town tonight. I mean, unless, of course, you want to call him. No. [ Chuckles ] No. Thank you. I would love a ride. No thanks necessary. It’ll give us a chance to talk.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. My car’s just over here.

How are esme and the baby? Fine for now. But she’s had no prenatal care. She needs tests done, and I don’t know how we’re gonna accomplish that with your uncle living here. It’s only a matter of time before he figures out you’re holding esme prisoner. The north tower is gonna be locked at all times. I have demetrius keeping an eye on it. I’m gonna put my uncle in the south tower. It’s the opposite side of the house, and I’ve even soundproofed esme’s room, okay? Don’t worry. Hey. I have it all under control. This whole thing is gonna blow up in our faces. It’s bad enough what we’re doing, and now victor’s looking around? Alright. We’re just gonna have to deal with him.

[ Door opens ] I was just on my way out. It was really good to see you both. I will walk you out. Oh. [ Chuckles ] No need. Happy thanksgiving.

[ Glass clinks ]

[ Door closes ] Elizabeth’s going through a tough time. She came over to talk. Stop lying to me, nikolas. I know exactly what’s going on. Thanks for coming. I wanted extra backup. Did your conversation with heather webber pan out? Not really. But we can talk about that later. What’s this all about? Ava’s agreed to speak with ryan. I wish kevin could be here. Me too. But kevin was right. Ryan might not communicate in his presence. And there he is.

[ Indistinct conversations ] Are you sure you want to do this? We can do this another time. It’s okay. No time like the present. You, uh — you sure about this? Hello, ryan. You still locked in? He says yes. One blink is “yes,” two is “no.” I’m familiar. You his new caregiver? One of them. He says — oh, I don’t care what he’s blinking. I’ll do the talking. Ryan. Do you remember your little friend esme? Your protégé? Well, it turns out she’s the one who attacked me. The audacity. Well, how would you like the chance to get back at her for trying to take what’s yours? What makes you think I can get you out? Well, it would behoove you to do so. Once I’m a free woman, a judge will find me more credible when I sue the pants off the pcpd and the city. They’ll find me a victim of gross negligence and not some loon. It’ll be ka-ching, ka-ching for you and me, scotty-boy. No, no, no, no. Heather, heather, I got a little news flash here for you. There’s a lot of details involved. I mean, I-I don’t know why you think I can get you sprung. Oh. That?

[ Chuckles ] Detective falconeri was just here. He wanted to interview me about the crash and the prisoner escape. So? So, clearly, my eyewitness testimony is very valuable to them. Well, now, that depends on the testimony. What if I could identify who helped anna devane escape? I’ve gotta get out of here! Mr. Scorpio, I appreciate your urgency in wanting to leave, but that is just not possible right now. You — you don’t understand. Holly’s missing. She could be hurt. There’s a $35-million necklace out there, and I gotta make sure it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands. He still giving you a hard time? Have you found holly? Have you found the neck– necklace? S-somebody m-might have — might have hurt her. I wouldn’t worry. We reviewed the security camera footage from the metro court, and holly appears to be fine. Did you see who took my briefcase?

[ Monitor beeping ] Yes. And it’s someone you know very well. So, my mother’s new place is near the center of town, which is great because it’s close to all her favorite cafés and restaurants. Oh, I feel awful. You’ve only just come back, and here I am keeping you away from kevin. Kevin is working tonight. Besides, it gives us a chance to catch up. We didn’t get much opportunity, did we?

[ Sighs ] Without memories, there won’t be much catch-up from my end, I’m afraid. Try not to worry about that so much, holly. I’m sure that it will come back. So, what agency did you say you were meeting with tonight? Laura, you know that that’s classified.

[ Laughs ] Well, I-I never assume. I like to keep my mind open to all the possibilities. The mark of an effective mayor.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Ah! And duty calls. Hi, jordan. I’m sorry. I can’t really talk right now. I’m sitting here with –jordan: Laura. It’s important you know robert scorpio was mugged tonight.

He’s alright, but the attacker

stole a briefcase containing a necklace made of diamonds cut from the ice princess. I see.

The suspect is —

[ Line disconnects ] No more questions, laura. I’m so sorry it’s come to this.

Axel: He wants to know,what’s in it for him?

[ Chuckles ] Well, ryan… for every interview you give, I’ll be there, too. So you can bask in my presence while you give law enforcement the information they need to take that wretched esme down. So, you get my company and the credit for doing a public service for once in your life. Axel: Maybe he doesn’t understand. No, he understands, alright. He’s just toying with me. Aren’t you, ryan? Just imagine how much more toying you could do with me and a captive audience. Alright, ryan, enough stalling. Do we have a deal or not? I read the papers. Everyone is hot to trot to find anna, from the wsb to the pcpd. And who’s the only one who can put them on the right trail? Hmm. Little ol’ me. Strike this bargain, scott. Free me, and we can squeeze the city for a tidy sum. I-I doubt anybody’s gonna make that deal. You never know till you try. Don’t you want a windfall to help ease your grief? Anna killed lucy coe, the woman who was a mother to the only child you have left. You can get revenge and strike it rich all at the same time. Come on. What do you say, scotty? No! No! No! Nein! How about nein? My — my german girlfriend taught me that —

nein. I can– I cannot believe that scott baldwin is turning down the chance to make a fast buck. Yeah. I-I got a full life right now. I-I’m not gonna let you screw it up. Ooh. Is this all because of this new girlfriend? Why did you even come here if you weren’t gonna help me? I’ll tell you why, heather. Because I wanted to see if you were up to anything crazy so that I could tell the cops. How about that?

[ Exhales sharply ] Think this through, scott. I never forget my friends

or my enemies. Neither do I. Guard, let me out of this nuthouse!

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] I don’t know what you think is going on, but, uh… what? You — you mean the loaded looks, the, uh, hesitation of me moving in? Oh, come on, nikolas. I wasn’t born yesterday. But I’m not shocked. Matter of fact, I’m rather relieved to see you behaving like a single man again.

[ Sighs ] No, it’s not — it’s not what you think. Elizabeth and i are just friends. She’s been going through some things. Ah. Well, it’s so nice you can comfort each other. Look, I-I won’t cramp your style. W-would you just do me a favor? Ava cannot know that elizabeth has been coming over. Oh, no, no, of course not. No need to make this divorce any more complicated than you made it by sleeping with spencer’s girlfriend. Thank you for your discretion. Oh, come on. I’m on your side. All the more reason to put an end to this marriage once and for all. Do as I ask, and no harm will come to you. Like no harm came to robert? I knew you weren’t to be trusted, and I hate that I was right. I don’t want to hurt you, laura.

[ Scoffs ] You got a funny way of showing it, holly. Please put the gun down. I wish I could. You can. You can. Just do it. Take the next exit. No. We have a long history, but that will not save you. I have no choice about this, you know. You always have a choice, always, holly. No, I don’T. And I will do what I have to do. Why? Is it because you’re working for victor cassadine? Is that what this is all about? Is that why you were whispering with eileen ashby? Is — is that why you stole robert’s briefcase? Here’s the exit. It’s now or never.

We have a “be on the lookout” on holly sutton. I thought you and holly were friends. Why would she do something like this? You tell me. Robert, if there’s something I should know, now’s the time to tell me.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. I need to take this. It seemed like you wanted to say something to the commissioner. Why didn’t you?

[ Sighs ] Oh, come on. What do you mean? I’m an open book. Oh, come on, robert. Okay, fine, holly is your ex-wife, but it’s pretty obvious that she stole that necklace and she drugged you. Well, I haven’t had any tequila for quite a while. You are about to be in real trouble with the wsb. I can handle them. Uh-huh. Said every cocky defendant I have ever represented. Well, I hope you won’t mind being one of them. But my rates are exorbitant. Look, I hope whatever holly has got herself into doesn’t drag you down, as well. We’ve been through this, uncle. I will divorce ava. It’s complicated. I need some time. That’s enough, nikolas! You are wearing my patience thin. I will to do what I must! I know what’s at stake.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well, I hope for your sake that’s true. We’re already on the launchpad, nikolas. Alright, gavin. Talk to me. What’s the status? What do you mean, she’s disappeared? You can stop there. So, what, is this the end of the line? You’re gonna kill me and leave me on the side of the road? There’s been enough deaths. Perfect. Recent calls. What are you doing? Your family needs you.

[ Line ringing ] Kevin: Hello? Kevin?

Laura?

[ Car door closes ] Kevin?

Hello? Oh, my god. Help me, please. I — I’m on route 31. I’m on the side of the road. I-I’m near mile marker 35. Call jordan. Tell her that holly sutton stole my car and she left me on the side of the road. Tell her that she is armed and dangerous. Axel: Mr. Chamberlain says, “I can’t wait to see you again, my love.” Tell mr. Chamberlain we’ll be in touch to schedule the first interview. Come on, let’s go. He wasn’t done. He said, “never fear, ava. We’ll find esme together.”

[ Sighs ] Alright. That’s that. Don’t worry, ace. Elizabeth will be back soon. We’ll tell her we trashed the vitamins, and she’ll bring us more before these run out. All we have to do is scare her.

[ Sighs ] Show her and nikolas that we can’t be steamrolled. I know what your grandfather would say, but… I can’t risk hurting you. I’d be at nikolas’ mercy. And I’ll do whatever it takes to survive. Ohh! God. I’m so sorry!

[ Chuckling ] Clumsy me.

[ Gasps ] Do you two know each other? Everyone knows… ryan chamberlain. Guess the same could be said of you… heather webber.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Amanda: Having sex? Yes. There is no doubt. I saw what I saw, and Devon admitted it, so…

Phyllis: What?! Why Abby?

Amanda: Oh, well, Devon claimed that they were really upset and they needed comforting, so it just happened.

Phyllis: Oh, it just happened? Really? She just happened to be naked? He just happened to —

Amanda: Yeah, pretty much.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay.

Michael: I’m withholding judgment until I know all the facts.

Lauren: How many more do you need? She lied. She colluded with Tucker in L.A. after swearing up and down she had no connection to him whatsoever.

Michael: Okay, okay, technically true, but context is everything.

Summer: Hey, dad.

Nick: Hey, yourself. Well, excellent job with the sunscreen. You got the perfect glow going on.

Summer: Well, I didn’t want to come back looking like a lobster, so…

Nick: So, you and Kyle had fun in Costa Rica?

Summer: Yeah, we had a great time. The villa was phenomenal. It was, honestly, the best vacation I’ve ever been on.

Nick: Okay, well, then I got to ask. You just got back from a wonderful honeymoon in a tropical paradise with the man you love. Why do you look miserable?

Summer: [Scoffs] Wow. Thanks for the compliment.

Nick: Not an insult, just an observation.

Summer: No, I mean, the trip was perfect in every way, both before and after Harrison joined us.

Nick: Did something happen after you came home? Because I know this face, and that’s not the “happy supergirl” face.

Tucker: Sure. I’m happy to tell you anything you want to know. Should we order our drink first?

Ashley: Why don’t we wait and see how forthcoming you are, and then I’ll decide how thirsty I am.

Tucker: Fair enough. Diane and I had a completely chance encounter in Los Angeles. And, of course, I was stunned. There she is, alive. But not only that, she actually looked happy and healthy and a far cry from the bitter and vengeful woman that we all thought was dead. So, naturally, I was curious about her story. I wanted to know how she pulled off her murder. She just seemed like a completely different person than the one I knew in Genoa City. So anyway, she tells me that her new mission in life is to try to find a way to get Kyle to forgive her, to reestablish their relationship.

Adam: Uh, I do. I didn’t realize that Walnut Grove was giving you guys a day off for a teachers’ professional development day. But I guess that makes sense, since most of you probably need to come down from your Halloween sugar hangover.

Connor: Funny, dad. We didn’t eat that much candy last night.

Adam: No, if I knew you had the day off from school, I might have let you stay at Beckett’s house.

*************”****”””””*”‡””””””””””””

Adam: You don’t have anything to make up to your mom, okay? You’re allowed to have feelings. And you are allowed to express them. But were you intentionally trying to hurt her?

Connor: No. I was just angry.

Adam: That’s understandable. You know, we all are like that sometimes. But I hope you know your mother’s love for you runs deep. And it will always lead back to forgiveness where you’re concerned, no matter what you do, Connor.

Connor: I get it.

Nick: If this is your way of making things up to me —

Victoria: It’s my way of saying good morning to my COO.

Nick: Well, I’m not having a good morning. I still think it was a mistake firing Sally. It was completely unnecessary and heartless, and I don’t think the company should be run this way.

**************************”*****””**********************

Nick: Have you recently instituted a non-fraternization rule?

Victoria: Not only would your relationship with Sally rob you of objectivity and decision-making…

Nick: That is insulting to her and to me.

Victoria: …It would also pit you against Adam. You might as well send him an engraved invitation to a family battle royale. And that’s the last thing that we need.

[Sighs] Look, whether you’re willing to admit it or not, you know in your heart that it’s true, Nicholas. It’s exactly why you’re keeping this thing with Sally a secret.

Update written by Joseph

EJ brings flowers to the cliff where Susan died. EJ paces and holds back tears as he looks over the cliff. EJ then pulls out a flask from his jacket and begins drinking. EJ remains sitting at the cliff in to the night until Rafe arrives and says he thought he might find him here.

Eric goes to see Marlena at her home. They wish each other a Happy Thanksgiving. Eric comes in and asks about the doll on the mantle. Marlena explains that it was a gift from Susan as she was just thinking about her. Eric says he’s sorry to hear the news as he knows they were close. Marlena is sorry she couldn’t host Thanksgiving today but she just didn’t feel like it. Eric says he had a good time at the Pub and he wanted to share some news that he’s very thankful for. Eric then announces to Marlena that he’s going to be a dad which surprises her.

Nicole goes to Jada’s room. Jada tells her that if she’s looking for Eric, he’s out. Nicole responds that she actually came to see her.

Maggie goes to Sarah and Xander’s hotel room to bring them Thanksgiving leftovers. Maggie hoped they might join them for dinner. Sarah says she did too but Xander wasn’t feeling well and stayed in bed all day. Maggie says she’s sorry to hear that and asks where Xander is.

Xander goes to see Gwen at the Horton House. Gwen assures that they are alone since Jack is in New York, visiting Jennifer and Chad took the kids to go see them while Doug and Julie have been asleep for hours. Gwen comments that Xander looks terrible. Xander says he feels terrible and doesn’t know what to do as he feels like his whole life is going to go up in smoke. Gwen asks him to calm down and tell her the whole story.

Marlena tells Eric that she knows how much he’s always wanted a child of his own and calls it wonderful news. Eric questions her hesitation and says it’s okay as he knows she’s thinking that he and Jada hardly know each other and it wasn’t planned which is all true, but she has decided to keep the baby. Marlena asks if he’s okay with that decision. Eric calls it complicated and adds that Kate, of all people, helped Jada with the decision. Marlena questions Eric saying it’s complicated. Eric responds that it’s because of Nicole.

Jada tells Nicole that it’s been a long day and she’s pretty tired. Nicole brings up Jada being in her first trimester and comments that it looked like she was having a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Jada questions how she knows. Nicole admits that she stopped by earlier and saw them, but couldn’t help overhear that Eric said they were going to raise the baby together. Jada questions why Nicole didn’t say anything. Nicole says she didn’t want to interrupt and she was afraid that she would spoil the heartwarming moment by bringing up that Eric broke up with Jada a few days ago to be with her.

Rafe tells EJ that he went by his home and the staff said he had gone out and since he’s been ignoring his calls, he figured he would try to track him down. EJ mocks his detective skills. Rafe reminds him that he’s going to need his statement. EJ comments on Ava and Susan going over the rail and perishing in a rage of fire. EJ adds that Rafe already knows most of it. EJ explains that when he met up with Ava to pay the ransom, she lied and said that Susan was dead but then Susan turned up at the airstrip. EJ says Ava grabbed Susan and dragged her off at gunpoint, so he pursued in his car but Ava swerved hard and now his mother is gone and dead.

Eric tells Marlena that he never meant to lead Jada on. Marlena agrees that’s not who he is. Eric brings up that Jada saw he and Nicole kissing which is why she decided that she wanted to end their relationship. Marlena asks how he feels about it. Eric says he doesn’t blame her and never told her what to do about the pregnancy. Marlena asks if Eric wants the baby. Eric says of course he does and points out that people co-parent without living together all the time, so they just have to figure out a way to make it work together. Eric states that he and Nicole can be together like they want but he and Jada have to figure out how to raise this child. Eric hopes that Nicole can understand.

Jada questions if Nicole is here to give her hell about ruining her happily ever after with Eric. Nicole says no. Jada asks if she’s here to make sure she understands that her co-parenting with Eric will never lead to anything else. Jada argues that she has enough self-respect to not want to be with a man who is in love with someone else and Eric knows that. Jada assumes Eric’s intentions towards Nicole hasn’t changed but she’ll have to take that up with him. Nicole apologizes and says she and Eric never meant for this to happen or for Jada and Rafe to get hurt. Jada then cuts her off and tells her to shut the hell up.

Rafe asks why he gets the feeling that EJ is still not telling him the whole story. EJ claims he doesn’t know. Rafe says this feels extreme even for Ava. EJ feels whatever drove Ava this far is more than a deal she made with EJ to leave town. EJ asks who knows what drives a lunatic like Ava. Rafe complains that EJ is hindering his investigation, so he could arrest him for obstructing justice but he won’t after everything he’s been through. EJ tells Rafe that he appreciates that and offers him a drink from his flask which Rafe accepts.

Xander assumes Gwen has heard the news about Ava and Susan. Gwen confirms that she has and that the Spectator is all over it. Xander says it all went horribly wrong. Xander explains how Bonnie stumbled upon where he was keeping Susan and then Justin came home, so he knew it was only a matter of time before Justin found them. Xander says he should’ve taken that as a sign and ended the whole thing but he wanted his pay day, so he managed to move Susan right before they found Bonnie. Xander states that Bonnie is alright, but Susan wasn’t nearly as lucky.

Sarah tells Maggie that Xander went out for air and hopefully he’ll be back soon and feel like eating. Maggie points out there were a lot of leftovers since no one had much of an appetite tonight. Sarah asks how come. Maggie reminds her of the drama with Bonnie. Maggie is thankful Bonnie is alright but points out how upset she got when Rafe was questioning her. Sarah guesses Victor got on Bonnie’s case and ruined Thanksgiving. Maggie explains that as soon as they sat down, Bonnie was having flashbacks of the creepy clown and got startled, so she spilled her wine in to the gravy and it was all downhill from there. Sarah asks if the police have any leads on Ava’s accomplice. Maggie responds that all they have is Bonnie’s description of a muscle bound man in a clown mask and a blue business suit. Sarah points out the blue business suit part and then picks up Xander’s suit, asking if it was kind of like this one.

EJ didn’t expect Rafe to take a drink, joking that he’s drinking on the job. Rafe responds that it’s been a hell of a rough week. Rafe says it’s nothing compared to what EJ is going through, but he and Nicole are getting divorced. EJ says he’s sorry to hear that. Rafe thought EJ would be gloating since he hates them. EJ guesses he’s not in the gloating mood and asks what happened. EJ then stops and guesses it has something to do with Eric.

Eric tells Marlena that he thought he had come to terms with not becoming a father and then there was the heartbreaking loss of Mackenzie. Eric knows he has nieces, nephews, and Holly but he feels like fate has intervened and says it’s not too much to hope that all things can work out. Marlena guesses Eric hasn’t told Nicole yet about Jada wanting to keep the baby. Eric confirms he hasn’t and knows it’s a sensitive subject since he and Nicole wanted to have a baby together, but Nicole can’t have children. Eric hopes that Nicole doesn’t feel threatened by this baby.

Jada argues that Nicole is not sorry as she got exactly what she wanted. Jada tells Nicole not to pretend to feel bad for her or like she cares about her since her fake sympathy just makes it worse. Nicole says she’s sorry. Jada tells Nicole to imagine being in her shoes where she just moved to town and meets a man who is divorced like she is and his ex-wife is seemingly happily remarried. Jada talks about how it seemed like Eric really liked her and she really liked him so she thinks everything is great but then suddenly, his ex-wife keeps finding reasons to show up at his door and even gives him a job while swearing there’s nothing going on between them until one day, she shows up at his office and sees him locking lips with his ex. Jada cries that later that day, she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby, so she’s tied to him for life. Nicole notes that she seems really angry. Jada asks why the hell she wouldn’t be. Nicole admits she would be too. Nicole questions why Jada would want to have a baby that ties her to Eric forever if this is how she feels.

Xander tells Gwen that so many times he could’ve ended it but he was greedy and cowardly. Gwen understands that Ava can be extremely scare. Xander tells Gwen that Ava is insane as she was working out of the DiMera Crypt. Xander says he went in there yesterday and caught her talking to the walls. Xander adds that it only got worse from there as Ava finally lost it and ordered him to kill Susan which shocks Gwen, who asks what he said to that. Xander says he refused but then Ava ripped his mask off to give him more incentive so that everyone would know what he had done if he didn’t kill Susan. Xander states that he couldn’t bring himself to disappoint Sarah yet again, so he let Susan go. Gwen asks what happened then. Xander doesn’t know as somehow Ava got Susan back, the ransom hand off went bad and turned in to a a car chase as Ava ended up driving off a cliff. Gwen insists that this is not Xander’s fault as he tried to help Susan escape, pointing out that he was not driving the car. Xander argues that it is his fault for agreeing to take Susan because if he hadn’t, she would still be alive.

Maggie questions what Sarah is talking about. Sarah points out that Xander’s suit is blue and says a lot of things are starting to add up which Maggie questions. Sarah informs her that last night, Xander told her that he quit his job because his boss asked him to do something that was very wrong. Sarah adds that he was vague but he did say his boss was a woman. Maggie questions if she thinks that Xander was working for Ava. Sarah notes that Xander’s sickness came on suddenly as soon as heard Susan and Ava had died. Sarah says she loves Xander but he was under a lot of pressure to get this job and he is the type of person that Ava would hire to do something like this. Maggie argues that Xander is not that man anymore. Sarah says she didn’t think so either. Maggie questions her suspicion all of a sudden. Sarah says it just doesn’t feel right. Maggie doesn’t think it sounds so strange to her. Sarah asks what about the fact that the kidnapper had Bonnie and Susan in the Kiriakis shed where Xander used to work. Sarah adds that Victor said he never heard of the company Xander was working for, so maybe he made it up because he was working for Ava Vitali.

Rafe confirms to EJ that he and Nicole are getting divorced because of Eric and asks how he knew. EJ responds that everyone knew Nicole and Eric were destined to be together as it seemed like every time they separated, they always found a way to come back to each other. EJ adds that he once thought he and Sami had that kind of connection, but clearly he was mistaken. Rafe is not sure how unbreakable Nicole and Eric’s connection is since it seems like there is already trouble in paradise…

Marlena tells Eric that the baby complicates things between he and Nicole, so she thinks he has to address this with her very soon. Eric confirms that’s where he was heading next. Marlena knows it will be a difficult conversation to have and it could get complicated, but encourages that they have been through so much together and they love each other, so she knows they will find a way to work this out together. Eric thanks her as they hug.

Jada cannot believe Nicole questioned her keeping the baby. Nicole knows she resents her and says she’s just trying to give her some perspective. Nicole says she has been a single mother for years and her daughter was a surprise but she loves her with her whole heart. Nicole argues that she wouldn’t want to go in to parenting with a negative attitude. Jada argues that she didn’t ask for her perspective. Nicole wishes someone had warned her or painted a realistic picture of motherhood for her. Jada questions what the hell that’s supposed to mean. Nicole warns Jada that babies change your life forever, so she needs to decide before it’s too late if she’s ready for this change and somethings he really wants. Nicole asks if Jada has even considered how this would affect her career. Jada responds that Rafe told her that she can take leave any time she wants. Nicole questions how much of that leave will be paid and points out that before she has the baby, she’ll be spending a lot of time behind a desk which has to be a set back for a young, ambitious detective. Jada tells her that’s enough. Nicole adds that when Jada does go back to work, she willl be exhausted all the time and crying over guilt from trying to put her whole heart in to both work and the baby which will leave her feeling bitter and depressed. Nicole acknowledges that Eric will be there for her, but even with that support, she calls it the hardest thing she’s ever done. Nicole points out that she’s going to be in Eric’s life now, which means she’s going to be in Jada’s life, so she’s trying to figure out a way to work this out and help her. Jada yells at her to get out and opens the door so Nicole exits.

Gwen repeats to Xander that this was not his fault since Ava promised that Susan would not get hurt. Xander feels stupid for believing her. Gwen argues that she knew Ava, so she thinks that Ava was telling the truth when she hired him, but it took a horrible turn and if Xander knew how it would turn out, he never would have taken the job. Xander admits when he let Susan go, he thought there was a chance that she would go straight to the cops, so he almost confessed to Sarah but then he remembered when Susan was begging for her life, she promised to keep her mouth shut so he thought by some miracle, she might not say anything so he didn’t tell Sarah. Xander says he just told Sarah that he quit his job, but then he saw the news and he got his miracle since Susan will never talk to anyone ever again. Gwen insists that Xander didn’t want Susan to die and he let her go. Xander complains that he still grabbed her, tied her up, and drugged her, so he’s not a changed man. Xander declares that he’s the same worthless piece of garbage that he’s always been. Gwen disagrees since his intentions were good and honorable as this was about him being a good husband and provider. Xander worries that he has no choice but to tell the truth. Gwen reminds him that Ava and Susan are dead while Bonnie never saw it was him and she’s not going to say anything. Xander asks if she means that. Gwen points out that she could have given him up the other night, but she didn’t and she won’t. Xander brings up everything they have been through. Gwen tells him that she still cares about him and she understands him probably better than anyone which she’s pretty sure is why he is here. Gwen points out that he trusted her with his secret, so she promises his secret is safe with her.

Maggie admits to Sarah that she was skeptical about Xander’s honesty when he first got this job because he wasn’t giving any details. Sarah questions just believing him now. Maggie thinks Sarah is letting her imagination run wild in this case. Maggie says that Xander has a blue suit but so does a million other men. Maggie adds that Ava was in the mafia, so she’s sure she had a dozen muscle bound enforcers on her payroll. Maggie brings up that she’s been married to a changed man for a very long time. Maggie never likes when people plant seeds of doubt regarding Victor’s behavior or honesty. Maggie encourages that the key to the truth is to trust her husband is being honest with her, unless she has overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Sarah asks if Maggie thinks Xander is being honest.
