General Hospital Updates

Update written by Dustin

In the parking lot at the police station, Anna opened her trunk and found a gun and some clothing. She recalled the drone footage of what looked like her shooting Lucy. Dante interrupted her and asked if Jordan had cut Victor loose.  Anna told him that Jordan had no choice but to release Victor. Dante informed Anna that Holly had been the woman that was found in the Quartermaine boathouse. Anna was blown away and had a list of questions for Dante, few of which he could answer.  Dante explained that Holly was experiencing memory problems and couldn’t really tell them where she had been over the last two years.  Anna hoped that Lucy would be located safely as well.

Carly and Drew continued their romantic walk along the beach in Jacksonville. Drew suggested that they return to Port Charles. Carly admitted that she was reluctant to do so because she’d found Drew in Jacksonville. She explained that she’d originally left the town to escape, and while she’d found a lot of what she’d been looking for in Port Charles, she was afraid that she and Drew would change. Drew replied that his life had been similar, and he’d found a lot of what he’d been looking for in the Navy. He stated that he had still felt a void and had realized that he had been looking for who he was. He maintained that Carly had filled the void, and she agreed that they were solid. She thought that Jacksonville had changed them. As they walked along the beach, Carly declared that because the relationship was something that she was choosing, it was worth pursuing. Carly admitted she was afraid of losing Drew because of mistakes or choices that she might make, but he assured her that that wouldn’t happen. Carly said that she didn’t want to ruin the best thing that had happened to her.  Drew said that he liked their chances and Carly agreed.

Nina met up with Sonny at General Hospital so that they could attend Sasha’s guardianship meeting with Martin. They discussed the lack of any word on Lucy. “You cannot bet against Lucy Coe,” Sonny said. They found Martin and Sasha in a meeting room, and they all sat down around a table. Martin announced that with Brando’s death and no living relatives, the judge had decided that there would be a court-appointed guardian. Sasha was unhappy that a stranger would be making decisions for her, and Sonny and Nina wanted to fight it.

Martin made it clear that a court would not appoint either Sonny or Nina due to their past history. The group was determined that they find someone to take over the guardianship.  They discussed who they could find to step in for Brando as Sasha’s guardian. “You’re looking at her,” Gladys exclaimed as she walked in. She apologized for being late. She reminded Sonny that he had told her to step up, and she wanted to take over for Brando. Sonny told her it would be a big responsibility, and Gladys promised to give it her best shot. Martin agreed to petition the court.

Sonny thought that Gladys would be great, and he proclaimed that they were all in it together. Nina said that she would always think of Sasha as the daughter she’d never known, and she loved her. Martin took a phone call and revealed that there was still no word about Lucy. He admitted to feeling lousy but had taken on the meeting for her. Sasha gave him a hug and told him not to lose hope. Martin departed, and Gladys thanked Sonny for everything before taking Sasha home. Sonny and Nina thought that Sasha would get through it because she had them.

Scott and Felicia were in the Metro Court gardens. He wanted information on Lucy because he needed to tell Serena something. Felicia informed him that she had no updates, and Scott thought about hiring his own divers. He confessed that it felt like Lucy was still alive. Suddenly, they were taken aback when they spotted Holly and Robert sitting at a nearby table. There were hugs all around as Scott and Felicia ran to the table. Holly disclosed that she couldn’t remember anything from the past two years.

Scott and Felicia sat down and got around to revealing the information around Lucy’s disappearance. Holly wondered who would have done such a thing. “Why don’t we ask him?” Scott said as Victor walked in. Victor walked right over to the table and apologized for interrupting. He asked if Robert had had any updates on Lucy. Scott was perturbed as Victor announced his willingness to help out if needed.

Victor headed to his own table, and Holly was filled in with facts about Victor. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing, since he had seemed so nice and was dressed so well. Felicia declared that they believed that Victor had been behind Lucy’s disappearance, but Robert stopped her before she said anything else about Victor.

At the police station, Jordan and D.A. Arden argued about Anna being responsible for shooting Lucy. Arden announced that Victor wanted to sue the department for unlawful arrest, but Jordan pointed out that while he was a suspect, he hadn’t been arrested. Jordan wanted to call Robert, but Arden didn’t think that was a good idea. She thought that Robert would be forced to recuse himself from the case. Jordan maintained that all of the evidence was circumstantial.

Arden snapped that Jordan had given Anna special treatment, while Jordan insisted that the video they had seen of the shooting had been doctored. Arden implied that Jordan wasn’t handling her job properly with regard to Anna. Arden left, and Mac appeared. He revealed that the divers hadn’t found anything. Jordan was sure that Anna had been framed, and Mac agreed but was surprised that Anna had been released. Jordan stated that Lucy had been missing for less than 48 hours, and they had no body. Mac looked at the video again and was certain that it had been doctored. He and Jordan agreed that while Lucy had been the victim, Anna had been the target. “And you know who’s after her, don’t you?” Mac asked. Jordan explained how Lucy had been working for Anna but had gone rogue. They both worried that Victor could get away with murder again if they couldn’t prove that the footage was fake.

Back at the police station parking lot, D.A. Arden arrived with a cop and announced that she had search warrants for Anna’s car as well as her home. She stated that Anna was the prime suspect in Lucy’s disappearance. She added that Jordan wasn’t a judge and jury, and Dante quickly pointed out that neither was Arden. Anna opened the trunk voluntarily.  Arden, Dante, and Anna walked into the police station lobby. Dante revealed to Jordan and Mac that the gun and clothing from Lucy’s shooting had been found in Anna’s car. Mac shouted at Arden, while Jordan made it clear that what they’d seen on the video had clearly been doctored. Dante whispered to Anna that he had to leave as the others argued. He urged her to play by the rules, but he knew that she had been set up. Mac suggested that Anna hire legal representation. Arden told the others that she was only doing her job.

Victor took a phone call at the gardens, learned about the warrants, and told the caller that he would be willing to contribute to Arden’s campaign if she ever decided to run for higher office. At the other table, Robert suggested that he get Holly home to bed, but Holly insisted that she hear more about Victor. Felicia revealed that Luke was gone, and it was believed that Victor had been responsible. Scott deemed it premeditated murder. Holly glared at Victor.

Dante rushed in and announced that Anna had been arrested as Lucy’s shooter. Scott thought that Arden was always jumping to conclusions. Holly stood up and headed for Victor’s table. He stood up to introduce himself, but Holly slapped him. She declared that the slap had been for Luke, and the next one would be for Anna and Lucy. Robert pulled her away.  Victor said he had half a mind to press charges but Dante and Felicia assured Victor that they hadn’t seen anything. “Your day is coming, tick-tock,” Scott said.

Victor received another phone call. He smiled and told the caller that he knew that little “surprise package would pay dividends.” He inquired about the house and confessed to almost feeling sorry for Anna. Victor confessed what a shame it would be if the police found evidence in Anna’s home that would put her away for life.

Anna said she couldn’t believe that Arden had fallen for the whole “doctored drone footage” exactly as Victor had known she would. Jordan wanted the evidence analyzed, but Arden wanted Anna arrested. Mac refused and cited the fact that Anna had been framed. He was dumbfounded that Arden couldn’t see that and he suggested that Arden was on Victor’s payroll. Arden threatened him, and reluctantly, Jordan placed Anna under arrest. She read Anna her rights and asked if Anna understood them.  “I do,” Anna said.

Days of Our Lives Update

Update written by Joseph

Stephanie and Chad go to the Horton House as Stephanie is on the phone with Paulina. Stephanie assures that she has this all under control and she has come up with a fool-proof strategy. Stephanie promises Paulina that Sloan won’t be a problem for her or Chanel anymore as they hang up. Chad asks Stephanie what the plan is that they have. Stephanie admits it beats the hell out of her.

Allie comes home to Chanel after dropping Henry off with Nicole for a sleepover with Holly. Chanel comments that it’s great that Nicole decided to make that a weekly thing. Allie points out that it means they will get one night a week all to themselves. Chanel asks what she wants to do tonight. Allie suggests they could call Alex.

Sonny is at home on the phone with Will. Sonny gets that Will has to stay and do his job, but admits he was really looking forward to seeing him. Alex walks in. Sonny asks Will what about next weekend and guesses he will try. Sonny tells Will that he loves him and hangs up. Alex asks what the hell Will did now. Sonny says nothing and that he was just supposed to come for a visit but he’s stuck in LA. Sonny asks Alex if he wants to stay in and hang out tonight. Alex informs Sonny that he actually has plans as Sonny might not be getting lucky tonight, but he sure as hell is.

Sloan walks through the town square and comes across a campaign table promoting Paulina for Governor with Leo dressed up in a donkey costume, handing out free cookies. Sloan stops and demands that he take off the mask, threatening to scream for the cops if he doesn’t. Leo reluctantly removes his mask and Sloan tells him that he is so busted.

Chanel questions Allie really wanting to call Alex. Allie asks why not. Chanel thought they agreed that the threesome wasn’t going to be a regular thing. Allie clarifies that she meant that they could go get drinks. Allie assures that they are on the same page regarding Alex and that the threesome was a one time thing. Allie figured that the sooner they go back to hanging out, the less awkward it will be. Chanel agrees that makes sense but asks if they can do it another night because she’s not really in the mood to go out tonight. Allie asks if everything is okay. Chanel admits that it’s not.

Sonny questions if Alex is just back to being a player. Alex reminds Sonny that he told him he needs to get over Stephanie and move on. Sonny questions him taking his advice. Alex informs Sonny that he found out that Stephanie is not just not in to him, but she’s hung up on someone else. Sonny asks who, so Alex reveals that it’s Chad.

Chad questions Stephanie telling Paulina that they had a plan when they don’t. Stephanie says she was up all night trying to figure out a way to neutralize Sloan but came up with nothing. Chad suggests hiring a private investigator to try and dig up dirt on her but Stephanie worries that would take too long. Stephanie wishes they could just get the original copies of what Sloan has on Chanel. Chad notes that would be complicated and suggests there’s always the option of paying off Sloan’s client. Stephanie says Paulina refuses to be part of extortion and also worries that Sloan’s client would keep demanding more. Chad points out that he never said Paulina had to be the one to pay it. Stephanie questions where else they would get the money. Chad suggests from himself.

Leo questions how Sloan knew it was him. Sloan informs him that her private investigator told her that he was hiding in plain sight, dressed as a mule and she thought he was kidding. Leo corrects her that it’s a donkey and says he’s not hiding but working for Paulina’s campaign committee. Sloan questions someone actually hiring him. Leo calls her rude. Sloan then demands the money he owes her now, unless he wants to play a very unpleasant game of Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Paulina texts Chanel that she can relax now because their problem is getting solved and everything is looking up. Abe then arrives at her office and asks what she is so happy about. Paulina tells Abe that her polling numbers went up. Abe advises her not to let her guard down because the other side will attack. Paulina assures that she’s tough. Abe relates his experience that the other side will come after the fact that Lani is in prison. Paulina remarks that it’s one thing to come after her but no one is going to come after her daughters.

Allie tells Chanel that she can tell her anything but they get interrupted by a knock at the door. They answer the door to see Johnny, who says he really needs a favor from them.

Sonny tells Alex that there is no way that Chad is interested in someone else when it hasn’t been that long since Abigail passed away. Alex complains that he just saw Chad with Stephanie and they didn’t even notice him because they only had eyes for each other. Sonny repeats that there’s no way. Alex adds that they denied it when he asked if they were hooking up which Sonny questions. Alex states that even if Stephanie wasn’t with Chad, it’s clear she’s not in to him. Sonny questions him going back to being a player. Alex reminds Sonny that he warned him someone would come in to his life to change his ways and that was Stephanie. Alex declares that now he’s going to soothe his broken heart with as much meaningless sex as possible.

Stephanie tells Chad that she would never ask him to use his own money to solve a client’s problem. Chad points out that she didn’t ask, he offered. Stephanie notes that Sloan’s client wants a million dollar payoff. Chad informs her that he has a trust fund. Stephanie repeats that she will not allow him to use his personal funds to get her out of a jam with a client. Chad reminds her that they are in this together. Chad comments that there’s worse things he could do with that money than help out the future Governor of their state and adds that he could use Paulina on his side. Stephanie asks what if the wrong person finds out and people say she used her company to help a DiMera get the Governor in his pocket. Chad admits he didn’t think of that and just thought throwing money at the problem would help. Stephanie then decides he could be right. Stephanie declares that they are going to give Sloan the payday she’s been looking for.

Sloan tells Leo not to play her since she successfully defended him against some serious charges so she tells him to pay up. Leo argues that he thought the free publicity was payment enough. Sloan warns that if Leo doesn’t cut her a check, she will send him to a collection agency that won’t take no for an answer. Sloan asks if they understand each other now.

Allie tells Johnny to start calling before he just comes over because they were in the middle of something. Chanel says it’s okay and that their conversation can wait until later. Chanel then asks Johnny what’s up since last she heard, he was moving in to the DiMera Mansion with Ava. Johnny confirms that he did but Ava had to leave town. Allie questions Ava not saying goodbye to her grandson Henry. Johnny explains that Ava had to make a quick getaway because EJ was going to have her arrested.

Leo argues that Sloan is threatening him with bodily harm which is against the law, so he could make a citizen’s arrest. Sloan tells him that he’s absolutely right but he misconstrued what she was saying because she would never threaten someone with bodily harm. Sloan warns that she’s getting fed up. Leo complains that he’s strapped for cash which is why he took a low paying job. Sloan remarks that she always gets her man and tells Leo that he bet on the wrong horse because there’s no way that Paulina will ever be moving in to the Governor’s mansion. Leo asks how she knows that since he saw she is pulling ahead in the polls. Sloan responds that all it takes is one dirty scandal and Paulina’s political career will be over as quick as Leo’s romance with Craig.

Abe praises that Paulina’s daughters are lucky to have a mom as fierce as she is. Paulina jokes that they both say she gets on their nerves but she loves them so much. Abe assures that they love her just like he does. Abe says he’s proud of her for wanting to be of service to the people of the state. Abe informs Paulina that he has made an important decision and hopes she thinks it’s a good one. Paulina questions what he has decided. Abe announces that if Paulina is elected as Governor, he will resign as Mayor and move to the capitol with her.

Sonny doesn’t think Alex should give up on finding the one. Alex responds that he met the one and it was Stephanie. Sonny argues that if she was the one, he wouldn’t have to convince her and it would just happen. Alex doesn’t like to let things just happen and wants to be proactive. Alex declares that he’s going back to doing what he does best which is having as much no strings sex with as many beautiful women as humanly possible. Alex reveals that he just finished an incredibly, smoking hot threesome. Sonny laughs it off at first but questions if he knows any of the parties involved. Alex confirms that he knows both of them and reveals his threesome was with Allie and Chanel. Sonny is shocked and asks if he’s kidding. Alex assures that he’s not but Sonny doesn’t want to hear any details, pointing out that Allie is Will’s little sister. Sonny warns Alex that he cannot let anyone find out about this. Alex then gets a text from Sloan to skip dinner and come straight to his place. Alex tells Sonny that’s his companion for the evening so he has to go. Sonny asks if Alex was just kidding about Allie and was just trying to mess with him. Sonny yells after Alex as he exits the mansion.

Stephanie tells Chad that they are paying off Sloan’s client now. Chad says he’ll go get his trust fund but Stephanie reminds him that she told him she won’t let him use his own money. Chad questions how else she would get her hands on that much cash. Stephanie responds that she just realized it’s easy as she will go to her father. Chad did not know Steve had that kind of money laying around. Stephanie responds that he does technically since John and Steve helped the DEA bust a drug dealer and used counterfeit money to set him up. Stephanie knows for a fact that the bogus bills are still stashed at the Black Patch office in case they needed to use it again. Chad argues that she can’t be serious. Stephanie feels that if the money fooled a drug lord then it will fool Sloan and she’s sure that Steve and John won’t mind. Chad questions Stephanie wanting to pay Sloan Peterson off with counterfeit money. Stephanie hoped to put Chad in charge of that while she breaks in to Sloan’s apartment.

Alex goes to Sloan’s apartment. Sloan tells him to just come in and shut his mouth as they start kissing.

Paulina tells Abe that she can’t let him move out of Salem when he dedicated his life to serving the people here. Abe says he’s very proud of that but now it’s Paulina’s turn to serve the people of the state and he wouldn’t want to miss that while his deputy mayor is capable of handling things. Paulina questions Abe giving up his career to be her first gentleman. Abe responds that there’s nothing he wants more. Paulina asks what she did to deserve him. Abe says she was just her and kisses her. Paulina then tells Abe that there is something she has to tell him but they are interrupted Leo in his donkey mask, saying he came for his check. Abe tells Paulina that he will let her handle this while he goes to pick them up some food. Leo then removes his mask so Paulina asks if she knows him from somewhere. Leo says he doesn’t think so. Paulina feels like she has seen him before.

Allie can’t believe Ava used a fake marriage license to get Jake’s shares at DiMera. Johnny explains that EJ figured her out as if he hasn’t done way worse things. Chanel asks about the favor Johnny needed. Johnny wonders if their couch is still available. Allie immediately says hell no and absolutely not. Allie tells him that they talked about this and he cannot stay here again. Chanel tries to argue but Allie says the last time drove her nuts and they are not going through that again. Johnny then clarifies that he’s staying at the DiMera Mansion and he’s asking for a friend. Johnny reveals that it’s Wendy who he just met but assures that they will love her.

Abe walks through the town square and comes across Maggie. They hug as Maggie says it’s been awhile. Maggie tells him that she was just shopping for Victor. Abe asks if she knows if Victor is going to support Paulina in the Governor race. Maggie assures that the whole Kiriakis family will and that she already mailed in her and Victor’s ballots, noting that she voted for Abe too. Abe says that means more than she knows. Maggie asks what if Abe and Paulina both win and if they will hate being apart. Abe reveals that they won’t be apart. Maggie questions how they will manage that. Abe responds that she’s the first to hear this news but if Paulina is elected Governor, he will be leaving Salem.

Paulina comments that Leo Stark’s name sounds familiar. Leo claims it’s just a common name but Paulina disagrees. Leo then acknowledges Paulina’s shoes as being from Theresa Donovan’s new collection which impresses Paulina. Paulina gives Leo his check and he questions that being it. Paulina says that’s the going rate for handing out cookies. Leo remarks that he’s going to have to hand out a lot more then. Paulina asks if he’s on hard times. Leo complains about a money grubbing lawyer breathing down his neck and reveals that it’s Sloan. Paulina questions how he got mixed up with her. Leo explains that she defended him for two weeks and now she thinks she owns him. Leo remarks that if he doesn’t pay her off, he’s going to be sleeping on a bench in the town square. Paulina says they can’t have that and that she might just be able to help him out.

Chad questions Stephanie planning to break in to Sloan’s apartment. Stephanie says they have to get their hands on the documents she’s holding over Paulina’s head. Chad asks what if they aren’t there. Stephanie says they have to start somewhere. Stephanie mentions being Steve’s daughter and that in school, she used her student ID to break in to the teacher’s lounge. Stephanie declares that she will do whatever it takes to get her hands on whatever Sloan is hiding.

Sloan and Alex kiss in bed until Sloan’s phone rings. Alex tries to convince her to ignore it but she gets up and answers the call from Stephanie. Sloan says she wondered when she would hear from her and hopes it’s good news for her client’s sake. Stephanie responds that Sloan is getting what she wants and her associate will be at the Brady Pub in one hour. Sloan says she’ll be there and hangs up. Alex questions where she’s going. Sloan responds that she has a very important meeting. Alex questions it being more important than the best sex of her life. Sloan jokes that he thinks highly of himself. Sloan says the meeting shouldn’t take long so she suggests Alex stay put. Alex tells her to forget about it but Sloan then pulls out handcuffs and cuffs him to the bed. Alex says that’s what he’s talking about as they kiss.

Stephanie tells Chad that his meeting is all set so she will go pick up the fake money and then head over to Sloan’s apartment. Chad asks if she really thinks this is going to work. Stephanie says it better and then exits.

Maggie goes home to the Kiriakis Mansion and finds Sonny in the living room, watching a movie and eating pizza by himself. Maggie joins him and guesses he is missing Will. Sonny confirms that Will was supposed to come visit but he’s stuck in LA doing rewrites. Maggie relates to being in relationships with men who are married to their careers. Sonny asks if she ever wishes that they would put her first more. Maggie admits that she still wishes Victor would sometimes which Sonny relates to. Maggie knows this has been a problem for he and Will before. Sonny responds that something has to change as he can’t let this break them up again. Maggie suggest Will talk to Abe because she just ran in to Abe and he said if Paulina wins the governorship, he will resign as mayor and go wherever she is. Sonny would love to know how he made that decision.

Leo questions how Paulina can help him deal with Sloan Peterson. Paulina points out that he needs money to pay her off. Leo excitedly asks if she’s going to give him a loan and calls that so generous, asking how he can ever thank her. Paulina asks if she looks like a credit union to him and clarifies that she’s not offering him a loan, but a job.

Allie questions Johnny wanting them to let some random girl that he just met move in to their apartment that she has with her son. Johnny argues that she’s not some random girl as she is Li Shin’s little sister which means she will soon be Gabi’s sister in law. Chanel and Allie question why Wendy doesn’t just buy her own place or move in to the DiMera Mansion and take Ava’s old room. Johnny doesn’t want her living in the same house as him since they are working on something that involves EJ and Li. Allie questions what he’s up to now. Johnny says they just don’t want EJ to catch on to the fact they are working together. Chanel asks when Wendy wants to start staying here. Johnny says tonight. Allie complains that she and Chanel haven’t been living together that long and this will be their second houseguest thanks to him. Johnny insists that Wendy won’t be staying that long and just needs to save up enough money to get her own place. Chanel asks why she doesn’t just borrow from her brother. Johnny says she doesn’t want to do that. Allie asks what Chanel thinks. Chanel responds that she’s okay with it if Allie is. Johnny excitedly thanks them and promises to make it up to them. Johnny hugs Allie and calls her an angel.

Sloan leaves her apartment and after she walks away, Stephanie approaches. Stephanie calls Chad, who is waiting at the Pub. Stephanie asks Chad if he’s ready. Chad says he’s as ready as he’s going to be. They tell each other to be careful and hang up. Stephanie then starts to try and pick the lock of Sloan’s apartment.

Sonny asks Maggie about Abe giving up his whole career just for Paulina. Maggie confirms that’s what Abe said and he didn’t seem to have any doubts about it. Maggie asks what Sonny is thinking. Sonny responds that maybe getting stabbed in the back with a knife was sign from the universe. Sonny points out that Alex is in charge of Titan and is doing just fine, so maybe he should take a page out of Abe’s book and just quit to move to LA with Will. Maggie asks if that’s what he really wants. Sonny admits he loves being the CEO of Titan and it feels like what he was born to do while Maggie points out that Will loves making movies. Maggie thinks they should figure out a way to meet each other halfway which Sonny agrees with. Maggie hugs Sonny and tells him goodnight as she then exits. Sonny then picks up his phone and calls Will to tell him they need to talk.

Allie prepares things for Wendy while Chanel checks her phone and sees she missed a lot of calls and a text from Paulina. Allie asks if everything is okay with her. Chanel says Paulina is fine and just checking in. Allie reminds Chanel that they never finished their conversation when Johnny came by where Chanel said she had something to tell her.

Paulina informs Leo that her assistant Mary has been trying to handle the books for her campaign and her business from Florida and it’s not working out, so she needs another assistant here in Salem. Leo asks if that would be him. Paulina says it would pay better plus benefits. Leo exclaims that he will take it. Paulina compares herself to the movie The Devil Wears Prada. Leo assures that he’ll work his fingers to the bone to make sure her every need is met. Abe then returns and questions what Leo is doing here. Leo points out that he was there when Abe left. Paulina announces that Leo is now her new assistant, shocking Abe.

Chad sits at the Brady Pub with the briefcase of counterfeit money and says it looks real to him. Sloan then arrives and warns Chad that for the sake of his client and his boss, she better like what she sees in the briefcase.

Stephanie successfully breaks in to Sloan’s apartment and finds Alex inside, handcuffed to the bed. Both are shocked and question what the other is doing there.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Cellphone rings ]

Noah: Glam club. How can we make your night unforgettable, chance?

Chance: Well, you can reserve the best table in the house tonight for date night with my beautiful wife.

Noah: Consider it done. You and abby celebrating anything special?

Chance: Just the fact that she still loves me, considering I haven’t taken her out in centuries.

Noah: [ Chuckles ] Alright, I got you. I’ll make sure it’s a night you remember. You guys deserve it.

Chance: I appreciate you. Thank you.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: Well, hi.

Abby: Hi, babe. I am so happy to see you. Today has been a complete nightmare in the kitchen. I mean, patricia I cut her finger. She had to go to the E.R. Then the dishwasher broke, so I’m back there scrubbing dishes. I don’t even want to talk about the little fire that I had to put out, but at least now I know how to clean a grease trap. What’s going on? What is this? Did I miss, like, a birthday or an anniversary or something? What is it?

Chance: Surprise.

Abby: Oh.

Noah: Hey, nate. Why are you here byyourself, man? Don’t you want to be part of the action?

Nate: I’m good.

Noah: Okay, well, if you want to vent about whatever’s going on —

Nate: Thanks, but I wouldn’t subject my worst enemy to what I’m holding back right now.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Did you confront nate?

Devon: Yes, I did. And then I went for a drive to try and cool off afterwards, and that didn’t work. I just don’t understand for the life of me what the hell he was thinking, how he could look us in the eyes while he’s stabbing us in the back, and then throw around all these ridiculous accusations after the fact.

Lily: Like what?

Devon: He has the nerve to say that I drove him to betray us because I haven’t gotten over neil’s death.

Lily: What? I don’t even follow that logic.

Devon: Yeah. And then he said that I only want to be partners with neil, and that’s the reason why I shut down all of his ideas.

Lily: I see.

Devon: Why would I agree to do this merger with you if that were the case?

Lily: Yeah, I mean, well, it did take you a long time to come around to the idea.

Devon: It didn’t take me that long, and it’s a pretty big decision, so, yeah, I was going to take time to think about it.

Lily: Yeah, and we do keep our two areas of the company separate. I mean, we don’t have any projects together.

Devon: Okay. And you’re saying this why? You think he has a point or what?

Lily: No, no, no. Look, there is no justification to what nate did, okay? I’m not saying that you drove him to betray us.

Devon: Thank you.

Lily: But, I mean, I’m sure that you want a better relationship with your next coo, so… I don’t know, maybe it’s worth it to do some soul searching and see if there’s any truth to what he said about dad.

Devon: Okay. What I’d really like to do is change the subject, if you don’t mind, okay? We can talk about literally anything else. How about you catch me up on what’s been going on here?

Lily: Sure. Okay. Well, there have been some developments.

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: Hey.

Tucker: Sorry I’m late. Nikki newman made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and it turned out she was setting me up.

Audra: For what?

Tucker: An interview with that journalist, talia morgan.

Audra: Wait, I know that name. She’s the reporter who wrote that article on diane jenkins. Why would you agree to be grilled by her after you had her series killed?

Tucker: Uh, show the world that I’m an open book. Nothing to hide, no one to fear.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] Bottle that self-confidence, and it can be your most profitable endeavor yet. But did you find out anything from nikki or her daughter?

Tucker: No, I was not able to verify that victoria is the ceo in cahoots with nate, but even if she was, she’s backed off now that he’s given away their plan. And the same would go for anyone colluding with him. So we need a new plan of attack. If you think all pads are exactly the same…

Chance: I got it all planned out. I got the night off, I cleaned up, got you some flowers.

Abby: Well, these are lovely, and you look even more handsome than usual, but I am a complete nightmare.

Chance: What? You look absolutely incredible. Are you kidding me? What’s sexier than a woman who works hard?

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Chance: You’re the boss lady. You get things done. Let me take you out. Let me show you just how much I love you.

Abby: Mm, well, if you think I look good tonight, just wait until what I look like tomorrow night.

Chance: I can’t tomorrow night. I got a stakeout. I mean, I might be able to do the night after. I’m going to have to juggle some things around.

Abby: No, no, no, we’re closed for a private party. We need all hands on deck. I have to be here to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Chance: I miss you.

Abby: I miss you, too.

[ Sighs ] You know what? Let’s do this. Let’s do this tonight.

Chance: You sure? I mean, you said —

Abby: I know what I said, but there’s a time in my life when I would’ve shut that club down, and I think it’s important that I go there for noah to support him. Family first, right? I know that we have our own family, and I am crazy about being a mom, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to stop being me, you know? I should still go out and have fun when I get the opportunity.

Chance: You absolutely should.

Abby: I think it’s important for our son to see his mom have a well-balanced, well-rounded life. So I’m going to go in the back and I’m going to work out some minor miracles, and then you better put out an apb.

Chance: Oh, yeah? Why’s that?

Abby: You better put genoa city on notice because the chancellors are going up tonight.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Audra: I wish I had the perfect plan “b” for you. Chancellor-winters’ ipo was our best option. That is, if convincing devon to merge his years with yours for the controlling majority wasn’t just a pipe dream.

Tucker: Doesn’t matter if devon and lily have given up on it.

Audra: If they have, your only way in is to do something to undermine the company and force them to sell it to you in a hostile-takeover scenario.

Tucker: I hate that word “hostile” ’cause I’m anything but. I just operate under a different set of beliefs.

Audra: Oh, this I’m dying to hear.

Tucker: I believe in family and that some things are sacred. And there are only two people who should be running a katherine chancellor company.

Moi and her grandson. Everyone else is superfluous. So you need to figure out a way for me to set things right.

Noah: Well, I’m happy to play bartender and listen with an objective ear, offer some sound advice. Judgment-free zone.

Nate: Thank you, but I’m sure you have other customers to attend to.

Noah: That’s true, and I’ll attend to their needs, as well, but most of those people are strangers to me, nate. You’ve literally saved the lives of a lot of people I love, so…

Nate: I was a different man back then.

Noah: I doubt that. I hate seeing you beat yourself up like this.

Nate: There are plenty of people out there who believe I deserve it.

Noah: Sounds like you’re really going through it.

Nate: We all have our challenges, right?

Noah: Well, if it helps, we can compare troubles. I’m in a little bit of a situation myself. My ex-girlfriend, she’s back in town out of the blue. Part of me’s wondering what she’s really up to. She’s definitely trouble with capital “T.” And the other part of me is wondering if people can change. I kind of feel guilty for assuming the worst about her.

Nate: Look, I see what you’re trying to do here, noah, and thank you, but there’s no comparison. I don’t want to elaborate.

Noah: Alright, I got you. I won’t push. But if you need anything, just let me know, okay?

Nate: Thank you. Right now, I would just like a quiet drink alone.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Alright, what are these new developments? Has someone else betrayed us?

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Yeah. Billy and I, we spoke to jill.

Devon: Mm, I’m sure that was fun. What did she have to say?

Lily: Oh, yeah, she was furious.

Devon: I bet she was.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Devon: She merges her company with mine, and it takes, what, a week for nate to ruin every idea we had.

Lily: Oh, yeah, she definitely had some choice words for nate, that’s for sure. But what was surprising is that she wants to move forward with the ipo.

Devon: You’re kidding.

Lily: Only after we figure out where the other threat is coming from.

Devon: It doesn’t matter where the threat’s coming from. It opens us up to too much risk, as we just learned.

Lily: Okay, I understand your reluctance. I do. Trust me. But we don’t have the threat with nate anymore. He doesn’t have any shares to sell, so he can’t sell anything behind our backs.

Devon: Lily, it doesn’t matter what you say. You’re not going to convince me this is the right thing to do. I’m sorry. It’s just not.

Lily: Okay, look, let’s just table the ipo for now, and we’ll revisit it. I just — I want to talk about the family issue. I mean, this company was supposed to bring us together, and instead it’s torn us apart.

Devon: That’s not true. Company didn’t do anything to us. Nate did. And if you ever expect me to forgive him, you can stop ’cause it’s not going to happen. You can go ahead and exclude me from all the family holiday get-togethers if he’s going to be there, ’cause I won’t be. I’m done with him. He crossed a line that you don’t come back from. Listen, I’m done settling. Because this is my secret.

Lily: Devon, I am not asking you to forgive nate.

Devon: Well, that’s good.

Lily: Because I’m just as furious as you are.

Devon: I would hope you are, because what he did was an attack on your company, too. You know that, right?

Lily: I know that.

Devon: Good.

Lily: But I hate this. I hate it. This is our family. Like, we’re supposed to be stronger than this. I mean, how do we fix things?

Devon: Everything got fixed the day that he walked out of that door. You and I, we move forward together. Who cares what happens to him?

Lily: I mean, what happened between you two today?

Devon: It doesn’t matter, really, and I don’t want to talk about it. The only thing that you need to know is nate isn’t telling us who this other ceo is.

Lily: Well, who knows? Maybe when things calm down, he’ll come clean.

Devon: Don’t hold your breath. And my money’s on tucker still.

Lily: Even though he’s continued to deny it?

Devon: Yeah, absolutely, ’cause he says his main motivation for coming back to town is knowing that he has a grandson, and he’s known that for a year, so he picks the one week we’re going public? No.

Lily: I mean, like we said, it could be a coincidence.

Devon: Well, it’s a better chance that it’s just more betrayal from someone that we’re supposed to be able to trust.

Lily: Look, devon, I know that this hurts, and I know how much it’s costing us, but if you’re going to fight back, you have to do it carefully.

Devon: Yeah, I plan to.

Lily: Okay, good. So what are you going to do next?

Chance: Whoa.

Abby: [ Gasps ]

Chance: Not bad.

Abby: Wow. This place is incredible. I love the music, the color, the vibe.

Noah: Hey, you made it.

Abby: Hi. Come here. I am so sorry that we missed your opening night.

Noah: Don’t worry about it. You’re here now, and you two are my guests of honor.

Abby: Oh, stop.

Noah: No, come on. How often do you get to go out and have some child-free fun?

Abby: I mean, chance has been so busy, it’s kind of been like we’re two ships passing in the night. But you know what? We’re here now, so it’s all good. Mwah.

Noah: Well, as a special thank you for spending your night with us, I’m going to give you two the early bird special.

Abby: No way. I am offended. Yes, we might be here opening this club up tonight, but I assure you we will also be shutting it down.

Noah: Okay, I like a challenge.

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Noah: Alright, best spot in the house reserved for my two newest regulars.

Abby: Ooh.

Noah: First round’s on me.

Chance: Hey, thanks, man.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Nate’s sitting all alone. Should we go say hi to him?

Noah: I wouldn’t recommend that. He’s not having the best day, apparently.

Chance: We’ll check on him later.

Abby: Okay, well, how’s allie? Where is she? I thought she’d be a regular at your club.

Noah: She was here earlier when she was on break from the lab but had to take off. But, you know, she’s good.

Abby: Is she really? ‘Cause I can sense something in your tone.

Chance: Oh, hey, detective abby, what are you doing? I thought we left the badges at home.

Abby: Okay, yes, I did, but I am still a nosy aunt. So how is allie really?

Noah: Couldn’t be better. Look, I should probably get to my other customers, but I’ll have a server bring over a signature cocktail, and you guys should go check out the multimedia art installation next door.

Chance: Alright. Thanks, man.

Abby: Nice. Okay, did you notice how noah tensed up when I mentioned allie? Do you think there’s something going on with them?

Chance: You know what? I didn’t even notice. You’ll have to forgive me. I’m out with my beautiful wife, and I just couldn’t stop staring at her beautiful face.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: Just keep asking myself, how did I get so lucky?

Noah: Three days ago, you said you were excited about going with me to this opening. All of a sudden you’re refusing?

Audra: Yes, because the gallery owner is a money-grabbing troll. Look, I have no respect for her.

Noah: You were just trying to get your own show there. What did you have this great epiphany?

Audra: Since I found out what she’s really looking for.

Noah: What is that? What is that? Some kind of dig at my work?

Audra: [ Chuckles ] Come on. Look, we both know the only reason you got this is because the owner wants to sleep with you.

Noah: Why? Why do you do this? What the hell is wrong with you, audra?

[ Cellphone rings ]

Audra: Anyone important?

Tucker: Very. Hey, what’s the latest?

Devon: Hey, I was just wondering if you had time to grab a drink tonight.

Tucker: Of course. Where?

Devon: How about we do the glam club?

Tucker: Perfect. See you there.

Devon: Alright, I’ll see you in a bit. Well, it’s all set.

Lily: Good.

Devon: Let’s see what kind of information I can finesse out of him. If you’re on medicare, remember,

Abby: This was a spectacular idea. I mean, when was the last time that the chancellors were out after dark without dominic, having some fun?

Chance: It was about time the earth was cooling [Chuckles] And I’m sorry about that.

Abby: We’ve both been busy. I get it.

Chance: And, hey, I know things were bumpy there for a minute, but we rallied just like I knew we would. We got right back on track.

Abby: Better than ever. I think this calls for a toast.

Chance: Oh, yeah?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Chance: What are we drinking to?

Abby: To the lucky few who have found their perfect spouse. I love you.

Chance: I love you 10 times more.

Abby: Mm. Cheers.

Chance: Cheers

Abby: Really? He has to show up here tonight of all nights?

Chance: Just ignore him, alright?

Abby: If he showed up in town trying to stir things up with my mom —

Chance: Look, whatever happens with ashley, that’s her call, alright? And she is more than capable of taking care of herself.

Abby: Well, there’s someone else who’s even more important that can’t protect themselves that I’m worried about. That’s our son, dominic. At some point, tucker is going to want to meet him, and I do not want him anywhere near our family.

Chance: Hey, don’t do this to yourself, not tonight.

Abby: I know that you think I’m being some crazy, overprotective mom, but, I mean, yes, devon wants to have a relationship with his father, but even he doesn’t trust him as far as he can throw him.

Chance: Well, did devon say that tucker was going to be a danger to dom?

Abby: Devon said he thinks he has some sort of hidden agenda.

Chance: Well, maybe he’s had a change of heart.

Abby: Why would you say that?

Chance: Mm.

Tucker: Hey, good to see you, son.

Devon: Yeah, man, i appreciate you doing this.

Tucker: Anything for you.

Devon: Well.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: I wanted to make the most of this position I had been given, to be a full participant, for at least some of my ideas to be implemented. But it became clear that as long as devon could pull rank, that was never going to happen. So when a different opportunity presented itself, I grabbed it, took the initiative, set things in motion that would allow my voice to be heard and respected. Because I knew it was the only way I’d ever have a chance to prove myself.

Lily: But it wasn’t the only way, nate. It was a choice.

Nate: Yeah. So, uh…I guess that’s it.

Lily: Get out.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Lily: [ Sighs ] Audra. Hi.

Audra: Mind if I join you?

Lily: No, please. I would love the company. But if you’re looking for an answer on whether we go public or not, I think you will be disappointed.

Audra: It pays to be prudent in situations like this. There’s a lot to consider. But if there’s anything I can do to help tip the scale, I’d be happy to lend an ear or make suggestions.

Lily: Yeah. I don’t know. I think I’m too blindsided to look at anything from a business standpoint right now.

Audra: I understand. This is a very complicated family issue for you. Every emotion that you’re feeling right now is absolutely valid.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I mean, it’s not just me. You know, devon and billy are just as furious. It’s like, we trusted nate, you know, and he let us down in the worst possible way. And, honestly, I feel like I can’t even talk to devon about it because I feel so guilty.

Audra: Why?

Lily: Because it’s my fault. You know? I proposed the merger. I encouraged nate to take the job. I convinced devon that we should go public. I mean, I thought we were protected from a hostile takeover, but who knew that it would come from our own inner circle?

Audra: I mean, no one ever does. You know, I’ve seen more backstabbing and betrayal in the corporate world than you can imagine.

[ Sighs ] It’s never pretty. I mean, from a stranger, you might expect it.

Lily: Yeah, but when it’s family…

Audra: It’s downright brutal.

Lily: You know what? Changed my mind. Why don’t you tell me whatever advice that you have?

Audra: Trust no one.

Tucker: Is there a problem? Is it the venue? Is it me?

[ Both chuckle ] Seem a little upset.

Devon: No, not at all. It’s not you. I actually specifically chose this place ’cause I thought I’d be able to avoid running into him.

Tucker: Oh, nate?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Thought you two were tight.

Devon: Things changed.

Tucker: Well, if we stay here, I don’t think avoiding him is going to be an option. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape. 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.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Devon: Don’t leave on my account. Please.

Nate: What I said about you and neil was the truth. One day, I hope you finally accept it.

Devon: Why don’t you leave neil’s name out of your mouth, since he’d be disgusted with you if he were alive?

Nate: Keep telling yourself that, but we both know the truth. Neil would want new blood, new ideas.

Devon: You don’t know a damn thing about what he would want for his company.

Abby: I think I should go over there. Maybe I can help.

Chance: No, honey, they are fine. They’re family. It’s an argument. Let them hash it out.

Abby: A couple of months ago, devon told me that he and nate were having some work-related issues. I thought they had resolved them, but clearly not. They’ve come to blows before.

Nate: You were the one who brought neil into this…

Chance: Alright, let me handle this.

Abby: No, no, no. I know them both really well.

Chance: Trust me, I’ll calm things down.

Nate: That’s what I think.

Devon: And this is coming from the guy who’s never ran a business a day in his life, right?

Nate: Wow. I know how to treat people with respect at least.

Devon: Respect?

Chance: Can I offer an opinion here?

Devon: If you had any bit of self-awareness, you’d actually be ashamed of what you did, but you’re not.

Nate: Me? Ashamed of what I did?

Devon: You have the nerve to stand here in front of me and point fingers like you’re the victim when you’re the one that crossed the line with your family.

Chance: Gentlemen. That’s enough. I don’t know what’s going on here, but this is not the place.

Devon: I agree. And you’re not worth any more of my time.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, you’re not worth my time, either.

Devon: Sorry about that.

Noah: Hey. Is there a problem?

Devon: No, man. Everything’s great. Couldn’t be better.

Lily: I mean, there have been occasions where I’ve made the mistake of trusting the wrong person, but I refuse to believe that I should be skeptical of everyone, you know? Like devon, for instance. I trust him completely. I would do anything for him, and I know he would do the same for me.

Audra: I admire that, truly, but I got a reminder today about putting too much faith in someone. There was a man in my life who I thought would never betray me, but then he disappeared from my life, moved on without even dealing with our unresolved feelings. I mean, of course he sees things differently and blames everything on me. I’m oversharing. Sorry.

Lily: No, no, no, please. It’s fine.

Audra: What I’m saying is, i sincerely hope devon won’t ever turn on you.

Lily: Why do you say that?

Audra: When money and power are involved, people’s true selves emerge. Their masks come off, and it’s not always pretty.

Lily: Well, I don’t know. I like to think that people can surprise us in good ways, too. That’s something that my father taught us and lived by. God, I wish you were here to help me fix this mess. He would know exactly what to do.

Audra: I’ve heard of neil winters. He was very well-respected.

Lily: Well, whatever you heard does not do him justice. I’m really sorry. I have to go.

Audra: One last piece of advice, if I may.

Lily: Yeah, sure.

Audra: I know you must be feeling a little traumatized right now, but in all the ipos I’ve worked on, very few companies have regretted taking that big step. Should the transgressions of one person with an ax to grind rob you of that glory?

Chance: [ Sighs ] Potential fight averted.

Abby: What the hell happened?

Chance: I don’t know. I think you were right, though. It did sound like it was work-related. But, hey, nate left, devon said he’s all good, so there shouldn’t be any more problems.

Abby: Well, you know whose fault this is, right? It’s tucker’S. That man is toxic. He poisons everything he comes in contact with.

Chance: I don’t know, honey. It kind of sounded like he was on the periphery of whatever this was, and his name didn’t even get brought up.

Abby: Well, he certainly didn’t do anything to cool it off.

Chance: I got an idea. How about we quit worrying about everybody else, and we get back to enjoying our night? Huh?

Nate: Last man you wanted to see, right? In fact, as far as you’re concerned, I’m probably public enemy number one. Tattoo studio gel pencil liner from maybelline new york.

Tucker: Hey, I don’t want to pry into what’s going on with you and nate, but, judging by your reaction, I’m guessing nate is the chancellor-winters insider who’s been sharing information with some predatory ceo?

Devon: That’s personal company information, tucker, and I’d really rather not talk about nate, if you don’t mind.

Tucker: Roger that.

Devon: Thank you.

Tucker: Hey, I’m happy you called. It’s good to see you. I felt like last time we got together, it kind of got off track.

Devon: Yeah, yeah. No, that’s — that’s really ’cause of me, and I apologize for coming at you so aggressively. I’m sure you can understand how it looked from my perspective to have you randomly show up in town the same week and find out there’s a mole in the company.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: So I think if I wasn’t suspicious, I’d be a fool, right?

Tucker: Right, right. I guess if I were in your shoes, I’d be pointing fingers at me, too. I’m just sorry that — although I’m not surprised, that anytime anyone hears my name in this town, they instantly conclude the worst.

Devon: Well, give me a break.

Tucker: No, it’s a nuisance, man. There’s nothing but rumors and innuendo. Nobody trusts me.

Devon: I mean, yeah. I think you kind of relish in that, though, ’cause it adds to your whole mystique.

Tucker: My mystique.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Is that how you see me? Really?

Devon: I mean, I think that’s just how you are. You know, no one expects you to ever be the good guy, so you have to play by any rules. Sounds freeing, if you ask me.

Tucker: Yeah, I suppose being a ne’er-do-well has its advantages, but I’m very pleased that the apple has fallen far from the tree.

Devon: Is that right? Why do you say that?

Tucker: Well, because two guys exactly like me, that wouldn’t work. But the two of us balances everything out.

Devon: Yeah, I can — I can agree with that. I’ve actually been thinking that you and I should spend some more time together.

Tucker: Really?

Devon: Yeah. I know you’re a busy man, of course, but I have dominic this weekend and was wondering if you’d like to find some time to come and meet him.

Tucker: You kidding? Meeting my grandson means everything to me.

Devon: To me, too.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Chance: You know what I want to do?

Abby: What’s that?

Chance: I want to kiss you on that dance floor over there. You know what? I’ll kiss you in the art gallery. Doesn’t matter to me. What do you say?

Abby: Mm. I would love that.

Chance: That wasn’t a yes/no question.

Abby: Okay, so you assume that because I’m eavesdropping on tucker and devon’s conversation that I didn’t hear what my very handsome husband was saying?

Adam: Eh, something like that.

Abby: Let me clarify. I would like to kiss you on the dance floor and in the art gallery.

Chance: Ooh, with pleasure.

Abby: Mm.

Chance: I say we start in the art gallery. We can “ooh” and “ahh” at all the artwork.

Abby: Nice picture you’re painting, mr. Chancellor. I think I am the one who’s with the artist tonight.

Chance: Ooh.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Abby: Work?

Chance: It can wait.

Abby: Are you sure? ‘Cause, I mean, what if there’s some sort of crime spree in genoa city, and you are the only person who can stop it, but you and i are in the art gallery making out?

Chance: Ouf. I’m not going to lie. That does sound like something right out of an action movie. Alright, you convinced me. I’ll see what it is. Not urgent. You have my word. Genoa city will be safe for a few more hours. Now, before we head into this art gallery, I say we take a peek at this menu, see what other masterpieces they can whip up back there, because that last drink was actually pretty good.

Abby: That is a wonderful idea.

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Alright, so when do you think would be a good time to come and meet your grandson?

Tucker: Oh, you just tell me when you’re free. I’ll clear up my schedule. It’s not every day a man gets to meet his first grandson.

Devon: His first. No pressure. Hey, listen, no pressure at all to talk to me about what’s going on with nate. But I want you to know I’m a pretty decent sounding board. Alright? So it’s an open offer. You just let me know. I’m here. Whatever you need.

Devon: I appreciate that. And… you were right that nate is the one that sold us out. He lied to all of our faces and was ready to sit back and watch us lose everything that we built. You know, I just — I don’t, for the life of me, understand how someone who calls himself family could do something that malicious and that unforgivable.

Audra: If you’re worried about running into your potential enemies, you just missed lily.

Nate: Last thing I want is another run-in with top brass at chancellor-winters. I almost got into a fistfight with the devon tonight. And, frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if you wanted to take a swing at me, too.

Audra: Why would I do something like that?

Nate: I’m the guy who potentially torpedoed your well-crafted plans for chancellor-winters.

Audra: True. I did have to put in some overtime figuring out what might come next, but trust me, I don’t consider you an enemy.

Nate: Why not?

Audra: Well, I’ve been in this cutthroat business world for a while now. I mean, I’ve seen it all, and there’s not much I take personally. In fact, I appreciate your creativity. This is gloria.

Audra: What’s with the look?

Nate: I feel like I should remind you of which side you’re supposed to be on.

Audra: Make no mistake. Look, I know very well who pays my bills. I’m not condoning what you did, but I appreciate a man who sings for the fences. You can’t win big unless you take chances.

Nate: Hmm. I see. You like to live dangerously.

Audra: Life is short, so you should grab every single morsel of excitement out of it. I want to know your story.

Nate: Why?

Audra: I’m curious to know why you did what you did.

Nate: Why would i share that information with you?

Audra: Because you look like you need someone to talk to. And I like an exciting story. Something tells me this one’s going to be a doozy. Pull up a chair. I want the inside scoop.

Nate: I guess I have a few things to get off my chest.

Audra: Mm.

Nate: But I know better than to think that anything I say here is going to stay between the two of us.

Audra: You’re underestimating my ability to keep a secret.

Nate: Mm. I will say this much. Maybe I made the mistake of putting business before family, but devon was so focused on family that it got in the way of the business.

Audra: Oh. In what way?

Nate: You know what? It’s a chancellor-winters issue. You should ask the man yourself. Although, he lacks the self-awareness to give you an honest answer.

Audra: That’s why I’m asking you.

Nate: Forget about it. I’m in this mess because I shared too much information with outsiders. I’m trying to learn from my mistakes.

Audra: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: I might not be the best guy to talk to about family loyalty given my business history with katherine. But I have changed since then, so you know.

Devon: Yeah, let’s hope so. No, it’s just the fact that the winters half of the company is what I created with neil, and it’s a piece of him that he left behind. And it means a whole lot to the family. And you would just think that it’d meant a little more to nate. That’s all.

Tucker: That’s interesting you should say that. Does that tie into what nate was saying regarding neil?

Devon: Why would you bring that up?

Tucker: Well, first of all, i don’t want it to be difficult for you to talk to me about neil. I know what he meant to you. He was dad, right?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah.

Tucker: Yeah. Also, I’m really — I’m really sorry that I wasn’t there for you when you lost him.

Devon: You really don’t need to apologize for anything. It’s completely fine. But, yeah, I mean, neil was everything to me. And, you know, when you share so many good memories with someone on top of a lot of dreams that didn’t have time to come true, how can it might affect you?

Tucker: Absolutely. Absolutely. Yeah, it’s been difficult for you.

Devon: Sure, yeah. But not to the point where it’s held me back from anything. Nate said some nonsense about me not being able to move on from his death and how my connection to him is going to be the company’s downfall, ’cause, according to him, I’m convinced that no one could ever measure up to the legacy neil left behind.

Tucker: Well, is that true? I mean, is that why all this is affecting you so profoundly? Is he right? ‘Cause if he is, I think that you need to think long and hard about it and figure out a way to deal with your issues before they take down chancellor-winters.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Dramatic music plays ]

The drone was hovering over the lake. I can zoom in.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Romantic music plays ] Hey. Hi. Hey. Nice to see you. Um… I know we’re here for sasha, but have you heard anything about lucy? Did they find her? Is she okay? Uh… I wish I had good news, but t-there’s no word yet. Oh, my god. The longer she goes missing the worse it gets. I know that it looks bad, but you cannot bet against lucy coe.

[ Sighs ] Come on. We really don’t have to discuss this now. I know you’re focused on lucy, as you should be. Are you kidding? I’m doing this for lucy. She’d skin me alive if she knew I was neglecting a client. Especially when that client’s you. Are were in the right place? Nina: Hi. Thank you for coming, nina. You said the judge made a decision about my guardianship. Tell me. Felicia, listen, I-I’m going nutty. Now imagine serena’s state of mind. I-I can only imagine. Well, y-y-you gotta give me something to take back to her. Yeah, I-I-I-I’ve been texting mac constantly for updates, and there’s just no news except for what we already know. Two shots fired, and no sign of lucy anywhere.

[ Sighs ] I — I just can’t believe this is happening. I know, I know. Wait a minute. I’m gonna hire my own divers. I’m gonna send them into that harbor and let them look. Mac and jordan are doing everything they can. Yeah, I don’t know. I don’t know about that. I’m telling you, I feel in my gut that lucy’s alive. I-I can’t really explain it, but I-I just — I-I really do. And, you know, felicia, there’s always miracles. A-and I pray that you’re right. I’m fine, robert. What were you saying about miracles? I have a job to do. So if you don’t mind. In fact, I do mind. Victor cassadine has a team of lawyers who are salivating at the chance to sue for unlawful arrest. Well, that’s gonna be pretty difficult, considering I didn’t arrest him. But he is considered a suspect in lucy coe’s disappearance. I didn’t see victor in that drone footage. Did you? Well, why don’t we give your boss a call, see if he agrees with me? Do not involve D.A. Scorpio. Well, this is his case, not yours. With all the evidence against anna, his ex-wife and the mother of his child, robert will have no choice but to recuse himself. We are in the very preliminary stages of the investigation. It is way too soon to be talking recusal. And just to be clear, the evidence we have at this point is all circumstantial. Oh. We’ll see. Well, that kiss felt different. It did. Yeah, but, like, in the best possible way.

[ Laughs ] Okay, so what now? Like, right now, or you mean, like, in big picture? Well, I — well, both. But I — mostly right now. Yeah. Well, right now. We, um… we gotta head back to port charles.

[ Sighs ] Yeah. I knew you’d say that. Mm. Then why’d you ask? I don’t know. On the off chance that you wouldn’T. You don’t want to go home? Yeah, I want to go home. I miss my kids like crazy. I just, um — I’m just reluctant to go. And why is that? ‘Cause I found something in jacksonville that I don’t want to leave. What? You.


Dante: Anna. Oh. Hi. You’re still here? Yeah. Just leaving. And, uh, jordan cut victor loose? Oh, yeah. She had no choice. You know, he’s all lawyered up, convinced he’s got away with murder. Hm. Yeah. You know, you’re putting a whole lot of stock into what could be considered falsified evidence. And you’re giving your friend anna a whole lot of special treatment. I’m using the discretion of my office. An office anna devane held for how many years? She’s been with the pcpd off and on since the ’80s. You were her hire, weren’t you? Originally. Maybe your discretion isn’t so professional after all. How many people in this department, from the old timers to officers who’ve got five years in, feel a loyalty to anna devane? How many of them would be willing to… give her the benefit of the doubt? Or turn a blind eye? Or actively steer the investigation to another direction? There’s a case here. I intend to prosecute it.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Robert, it’s j jordan. Give me a call when you can. It’s important. What’s got the ada all fired up now? First things first. Any news from harbor patrol? I was on a police boat all night and most of today.

[ Sighs ] The divers came up empty. No sign of lucy? I was hoping you had better news. We have a suspect. But you’re not gonna like who it is. We’ll find whoever shot lucy. It’s just a matter of time. I need to share something with you. Oh, yeah, that — that woman who washed up at the quartermaines’. Not lucy. Yeah. Uh, jordan told me. Right, but do you know who it was? No.

[ Scoffs ] You’re never gonna believe this. Holly sutton. I do not believe what I see right now. Oh, did we just die and go to heaven? I don’t think they’d let you through those gates. Holly! Hey. Hey. I — careful. We just fished her out of the lake. You got a hug for me? Always. Okay.

[ Giggles ] Um, I want to take her home for a rest. I don’t need to rest. I need faces. People. Especially the people I’ve missed so much. Not as much as we have missed you. But where have you been? And how did you end up in a lake? Well, he re memory’s a littlefragile at the moment. A kind way of saying that it’s all fog. I don’t remember much about the last two years. So, wait. Hang on a second. Poof! Then you just back in port charles with no clue? That’s the gist of it. Yeah. Well, don’t worry. Now that you’re home, I’m sure everything will come back to you. Now, you can contest the decision, as is your right. But you should know that that could take months. The decision being? The judge ruled that brando’s death makes it even more imperative that you remain under the guidance of a guardian. I can’t imagine it being anyone except brando. Neither can I. Who did the judge choose? Well, that’s the thing. I’m sorry, sasha. Seeing as how you don’t have any other living relatives, it’s gonna have to be a court-appointed guardian. You mean a stranger? I’m afraid so. When I left jacksonville in my 20s, I thought I was going after everything i wanted, you know? A better, different life. And in retrospect, I mean, I wasn’t really running towards anything. I was just trying to escape all my mistakes here. The funny thing is, though, is that you — you actually ended up with a lot of what you wanted. I did. I really did. I mean, I-I figured out who I was at my core, and that’s really huge. But I never realized I was running away. And now I’m able to admit that. So you’re afraid that if you leave now, then — then — then what? You’ll somehow lose that clarity? I’m afraid that, um, if we leave, it’s gonna change us… how we are together, the ease between us. I can talk to you about everything or nothing. I love being with you, and I’m afraid to lose that.


Now, are you saying sasha’s life or day-to-day decisions are gonna be left in the hands of a stranger? That’s correct. That’s not happening. But if that’s the law, then… well, human beings make the law. We can fight it. Right. And we’re gonna win. Because if she needs a guardian, I’m in. And so am I. We will help her in any way possible. Wait. Wait. And no disrespect intended, but [Chuckles] The court is never gonna sign off on somebody with a criminal record. Well, there has to besomething that we can do. Someone else who can step in. There is. You’re looking at her. Mac: Where is it anna now? She believes she was framed. Of course she was framed! So she went looking for evidence to prove it. Obviously. Look, I get that anna wants to clear her name, but I’m a little surprised you let her walk. In a good way, you’re usually all about playing it by the book. I still am. That so-called incriminating video may have convinced the ada, but to me, it screams setup. And whether or not anna has it in her to kill lucy, I don’t, for one second, believe that she would do it in such a stupid and obvious way. There’s something else going on here, mac. You’re not gonna get an argument out of me. And in the rush to declare lucy dead and charge anna with her murder, people seem to be overlooking one thing. Lucy’s been missing less than 48 hours, and we don’t even have a body. Why didn’t you tell me lucy is missing? Oh, don’t blame robert. He was probably too busy pinching himself, making sure he wasn’t dreaming. Can you believe this?

[ Chuckles ] It is still sinking in. I’m so sorry. Do you have any idea what happened? I mean, we’ve all wanted to tear lucy’s hair out at some point, I certainly have, but wanting to kill her? I mean, who would go to those lengths? Why don’t we ask him? What? Holly is alive? Yeah. Saw her in the flesh. Oh, my god, that’s incredible. I have to call robert. Robert already knows. Oh, yeah. That’s why I couldn’t reach him, probably. Yeah, probably. I mean, he was one of the first on the scene when the quartermaines found holly in the boathouse. He must be so happy. It was a pretty wild reunion, I’ll say that. And she’s all right? And where has she been all this time? She didn’t contact us. Why didn’t she contact us? We don’t know. I mean, her mind seems kind of fuzzy on the details, but they checked her into the hospital, and everything seems fine. Holly alive and well. Mm. Maybe that’s a sign. Of what? That if holly can be found… maybe so can lucy? Um, I can’t wait to see her myself. Ada arden: Detective falconeri, kindly inform ms. Devane that she’s not going anywhere. Looking back on life, it’s — it’s a trip, isn’t it?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Sometimes fun and sometimes not so much. Mm. I mean, I had the same or similar experience as you when I joined the navy right out of high school. Because at the time — at the time I thought I was looking for a purpose. Or a career? Right. But now I realize I was — I was just looking for a home. And I found that. I definitely found that. I mean, those guys are my brothers in every sense of the word, and… and it did fill the void for a little while. But the void’s still there. Yeah. I mean, after everything that happened, after thinking that I was jason, it just became so clear to me. My whole life… I was just looking for who I was. For — for were to belong. For… for someone to belong to. Don’t you think you found that in port charles with the quartermaines? Yeah. But where i really feel it… is with you.


I don’t want you to think that I’m looking to you to be the answer to all my problems. Like we’re just gonna slide into bliss and live happily ever after or something. Well, that’s good, because happily ever after doesn’t exist. And it certainly doesn’t exist with me. I mean, you know me. I do. Inevitably, I’m gonna get fired up about something and I’m gonna go tearing off to god knows where, doing god knows what. I know. I know. And I’m okay with that. Really? Really. Do you remember the conversation we had in your kitchen after the quartermaine picnic? Of course I do. You said you were scared to see the end before it even begun. After our time here… do you still feel that way? No. What we have feels solid. In a way it didn’t before. Well, I guess jacksonville not only changed me, but it changed us. Now, doesn’t that tell us all we need to know? Sorry I’m late. Got stuck in traffic. Martin was just filling us in on the judge’s decision. I figured as much. Court-appointed guardian? Yeah, and as you can imagine, sasha’s not too happy about it. And you two are out ’cause of you’re… history. That leaves me. You’re serious about being sasha’s guardian? You’re the one who told me it was time to step up and be here for my family. Yes, I did. So, somebody’s gotta do what brando would have wanted. Why not me? Jordan: Well? It looks like anna with a gun. But there has to be another explanation. Either this video was doctored or… something. This I know — no way in hell did anna lure lucy to the docs then shooter her in cold blood. Which means someone else did and set anna up to take the fall. In other words, lucy may be the victim, but it’s anna who’s the real target. Exactly. And you know who’s after her, don’t you? My, uh, apologies for the interruption, but, uh, D.A. Scorpio, do you, by any chance, have an update on lucy? Okay, cassadine! Why don’t you tell us? You’re the one who’s been spending all the time with her. Well, if only I could. T-there is nothing I wouldn’t do to find her. So if anyone has an idea as to how I can help, please, please let me know.

[ Grumbles ] You’re my first call. Cassadine? Victor. The rottenest apple in the whole barrel. And that’s saying something. Yeah, it is. He seemed sincere about wanting to find lucy. Why were you so hostile to him? Because we think victor’s behind lucy’s disappearance. Really? That suit doesn’t scream “cold-blooded killer” to me. Well, looks can be deceiving. In fact… don’t give her that look. What look? The look, as if I wouldn’t catch it. In fact what? What has that man done? What is going on? Ada arden: A warrant to search ms. Devane’s car, and another has already been issued for her home. Officers are on their way as we speak. That’s really very efficient. Well, what can I say? When a system works, it works. Yeah, but I know that commissioner ashford wouldn’t sign off on this. Fortunately, the commissioner isn’t judge and jury. That’s funny. I was gonna say the same thing about you. I admire your loyalty, detective, but in this case, it’s misplaced. Your former boss, here, is the prime suspect in the disappearance of lucy coe.

[ Scoffs ] Wait. What? Come on, that is insane. Maybe. Maybe not. Let’s take a look inside your car and find out.


You know… you were right about everything. Not only is what we have worth pursuing, I want it. But I want it because it’s something I choose. Not because it’s something I’m hiding in. Does it — does it feel like you’re hiding? It feels like you’re the best thing that’s happened to me in a really long time. And if we do this, I don’t want to mess it up by doing something stupid or making a dumb mistake. You won’T. Make a mistake? Oh, no, you’ll definitely do that. We both will. But you’re not gonna lose me over it. How do you know? I just do. When I said you needed to step up your game, I didn’t mean that you should take on this kind of responsibility. I want the responsibility. I want to be here for sasha, since brando can’t be, and helped her through this awful time. Keep it in the family? That’s good, right? It’s very good. I’m not brando. No one is or could be. But I promise to give it my best shot. I know you will. The last thing I want is a stranger telling me what I can and can’t do. So is this a possibility? For gladys to be my guardian, even though she’s technically not family? It’s not the worst idea in the world. In terms of succession rights, the state of new york doesn’t distinguish between a mother and a mother-in-law. Judge might be persuaded to think in the same terms when it comes to a guardianship, provided, of course, ms. Corbin is deemed a suitable option. Worth a shot. You say yea, I’ll inquire. What’s the worst thing that can happen, huh? They say no. So…it’s decided. Unless you think I’m not up for the job. Anna is convinced that victor set her up to cover his own tracks. It’s a win-win, right? He gets rid of anna and lucy in one shot. Well, back up. I thought victor liked lucy. And vice versa. Felicia told me they were both all over each other while martin grey was out of town. They were. But according to anna, it was all an act on lucy’s part. Lucy was actually working for her. For anna. Trying to get an angle on victor to connect him to luke’s murder. Problem is, lucy went a little rogue. Sounds about right. And anna tried to call her off, but — but lucy being lucy, she didn’t listen. So anna thinks victor found out and turned the tables? Victor denies it, of course. And if that drone footage can’t be disproved… victor gets away with murder… again. Warrants have been issued already, huh? Well, that’s impressive. Remind me to make a sizable contribution to ada arden’s campaign should she ever decide to run for higher office. I think that’s enough excitement for one day. I’m gonna take you home, put you to bed. Oh, really? While I sleep on the couch. I think that’s quite possibly the worst example of deflection that I’ve ever seen attempted. What is so terrible about victor cassadine? Well, holly… where should I begin? You know, she’s not gonna stop asking you. Like a dog with a bone. Like a dog with a bone. Yeah, but a really elegant, sweet, lovable dog. Nice try. Luke is gone. Gone? As in? Yeah. Yes. Gone. No. We have reason to believe that victor is responsible. We thought it was an accident — ah! Felicia. Accident, my foot. We all know it was premeditated murder. I can’t believe it. Luke, of all people. How can that kind of energy just cease to exist? Let’s go home and talk about it there. I’m not going anywhere just yet. What’s this? You just can’t go around harassing law-abiding citizens. I don’t care how high-profile the case. You may want to rephrase the “law-abiding” part when you see what we found in the trunk of ms. Devane’s car. Which she showed us voluntarily. She popped the trunk herself. Also in here are the clothes the perpetrator was wearing when they shot lucy coe. How do you know what the perp was wearing? There’s footage. And as you’ll see, the shooter bears an uncanny resemblance to ms. Devane. Footage that hasn’t been verified. We don’t know if anything on there is real. Hey, I gotta go take care of something. We know a woman is missing after two shots were fired… listen to me right now. We gotta play by the rules, okay? The system is working against you. But the advantage we have is we know someone is setting you up. We’re gonna fix this. Trust in that. I’ll be back.


You’re not gonna lose me. Because… I — I understand the true meaning of that word — loss. The weight that comes with it. I was — I was lost for over two years. It’s not like a — it’s not like a fight or — or — or a breakup or — or differences that you can’t work your way through. When you lose something, it’s gone. And if, by some miracle, you get it back, it — it’s never the same. I mean, the time that you don’t have together… that you couldn’t reach out and just hold somebody that you love. You don’t get that back. But… loss does teach you the difference between what you simply like, what you value… and what is truly, truly irreplaceable.

You are irreplaceable. Carly, there’s nobody like you. And no one is to me what you are. That’s just a fact. I think you’d make a great guardian. But since you’re throwing my words back at me, remember I told you? We’re all in this together. And I hope that includes me. I know that we’re not technically family, either, but there’s a part of me that will always think of you as the daughter I never knew. I’m honored. Even though I don’t deserve it. Hey, if life was about deserving, people in this room would sure be in trouble.

[ Laughs ] Would we ever. I love you. I will always be here for you. Always. I love you, too. Well, you let me know as soon as possible. Thank you. Nina: Hey. Lucy? Huh? Oh, no. Nothing yet. Hey, you know what they say — no news… but right now, I gotta be honest — it feels pretty lousy. We’re all pulling for her. You don’t have to say anything without a lawyer present. Oh, she seems to have the silent thing down pat. Jordan: Silence isn’t an admission of guilt. Or didn’t they teach the fifth amendment when you went to law school? What I was taught was to follow the evidence. That’s all I’m doing, commissioner — my job. We don’t know how that gun and those clothes ended up in your car. Someone planted them. It had to be victor. Dante: Robert. Have you heard from anna? You know, my phone hasn’t made a peep all day. Felicia: Is this about lucy? Lucy still hasn’t turned up. The ada is convinced that she’s got her shooter.

[ Groans ] Of course she does. Come on, robert, I mean, she works for you, but she’s always jumping to conclusions. Who does she suspect? Anna. You’re falling for it, just like he knew you would. You see that, don’t you? You know what needs to happen. Officer williams

[Sighs] Take the evidence to forensics to get analyzed. Now it’s your turn. You have more than enough to arrest her, and you know it. Do your duty, chief scorpio. Or I’ll find someone who will. Arden’s investigating anna? Yeah. For shooting lucy? That’s ridiculous. It’s a setup. I agree. Yeah, I-I’d bet the farm on who’s behind it. Excuse me. W-w-wait. Where you go– oh, damn it. Hello. Hello. Uh, I’m sorry. I, uh — I don’t believe we’ve met. Consider this our introduction, then.


I love this. Me, too. You know, the ocean is so incredible. It’s amazing how it can make you feel so small in the face of such vast beauty. And you’d think it would make you feel the opposite. But it’s empowering somehow. I am familiar with that feeling. No, it’s true. Such a big part of this past year has been sweeping away all the stuff that doesn’t matter, just, like, letting go of everything that happened to me. It was a nightmare. But…I survived. It’s over. And it’s shaped me into who I am. Just like this experience. This experience shaped you. 100%. And it’s not like we’re gonna lose sight of us. Because who we become is — is who we are. This is us. I think I’m gonna like us. A lot. I already do. No time like the present. I will officially petition to have ms. Corbin appointed as your guardian. Thank you. Yes, thank you. Martin, I can’t imagine how distracted you are, and yet you’re here getting things done. Yeah, well, with a little bit of luck, at least will have one happy ending. Don’t lose hope. No. To better days, little one. Better days. All right, you’ll hear from me as soon as I hear from the judge. Sir. Ms. Reeves, ms. Corbin.

[ Sighs ] You ready to go home, sasha? Oh, thanks.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Hey. You got this. Thank you for everything. I’m really impressed with sasha. I mean, with everything she has to go through with this guardianship stuff, she still has empathy for martin. Well, you know, it — it just gives me hope that she’s gonna get through this. She’s gonna get through this. You know why? Hm? She has us. Damn straight. Yeah. That was for luke spencer. The next one will be for lucy coe and anna devane. I-I [Chuckles] I think you’ve made your point. Let’s go. There’s a lot more where that came from. Yeah. You know, I’m tempted to press charges. Press charges? Uh, for what? I didn’t see anything.

[ Sighs ] I was checking my e-mail. You know, I would throw this drink in your face, but I don’t want to waste good vodka.

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause, um, your day is coming. Oh, is that so? Yeah. Ticktock.

[ Cellphone rings ] Give me some good news. Ah! Mm. Yes. I thought our little surprise package would pay dividends. And what about casa devane? Oh, the search is under way. Good. You know, I almost feel sorry for anna. I’ll be such a shame if they find something in her own home, of all places, that could put her away for the rest of her life. Must be nice to be you. Defenders and special treatment wherever you go. A crime was committed. It’s my job to take the case and prosecute it. End of story. Do you not recognize a frame job when you see one? Or are you just another name on victor cassadine’s payroll? I could have your badge for that. Okay. Mac, come on. Don’t fall on your sword for me. I’m not arresting you. Then I’ll have no choice but to report you to internal affairs. Jordan, just do it. Come on, please. We’ll figure it out later. Come on. Anna devane [Sighs] You’re under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as I’ve read them to you? I do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Honey, I’m, I’m fine. Actually, I’m doing better every single day. Yeah. I miss you too. Hey, John just walked in. Okay. I will. I’ll tell him. Yeah, and I will call you as soon as I get home. Love you too, sweetie. Bye. And that was semi. Hmm. Well, you’ll be talking to her real son. Oh, and why is that? Well, because you said you would call her when you got home and I just ran into Dr.

Patel in the hallway and he said they’re springing you outta here in an hour. Oh my gosh. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t start quit. No, no. You start, I starting and get all this falls apart. I need to call be and you need to call Brady. He’s been very conservative. What’s the matter, uh, about Brady? What about him?

Ran into him when I was back at the house and, um, he just broke up with Chloe.

Have you completely lost your mind? There’s no way in hell that Brady would ever let you move in here. Well, I understand your reaction. I mean, I could hardly believe it myself, Brady, this, this, this can’t be true. Right. Please tell me that she’s making it up and then throw. The hell out of here.

Chloe. Stephan, listen, I heard about you and Brady. I came to check on you.

Chloe. Ah, come on,

Chloe.

I hope you’re not giving up on her that easily.

Kars nice this time of year. He says you love it. He says

What changes? Scenery can be good for his mind and new lab beans. New work. No ideas,

and after all, Salem is nothing without Ste. Anyway, so, so long. Good rids

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

Coming somewhere, you’re all packed up. It looks to me like you’re fleeing the scene of a crime. As I told the police, I’ve done nothing wrong. And then why are you so anxious to leave? If you must know I’m leaving town, I have a plane to catch. So if you excuse me, I’m No, you’re not. You’re not going anywhere.

Not until we talk about what you did to step in. I’m not giving. Fun, Chloe, but seeing as she’s not here, I’m going to give up on knocking on her door. Just keep trying. Remember faint heart. Never one fair lady. Right? Thank you. It’s always nice to get advice from someone you barely know. It’s not advice, but encouragement.

Keep fighting for her. Don’t become discouraged just because for the moment she’s with Brady. Okay, not that it’s any of your business, but Chloe and Brady are not together anymore.

I on understand why you fired me and it wasn’t because a budget mandated downsizing. It’s because you and RA got in a fight last night. What? Well, you and Ra were arguing about the fact that you and I were working together and how exactly did you learn that? Jada told me. Wouldn’t she just go put it on her?

She was on her way home and she happened overhear the two of you fighting outside the pub. Oh, and she decided to listen in. It wasn’t on purpose. But you did hear enough to understand why you suddenly fired me this morning. Oh, I’m, I’m sorry. No, don’t be. I do wish you would’ve told me in person, but I understand that I’m, listen here, I know you’re here for my badge.

Oh. Um, this is why you’re here, isn’t it? No, I’m. We hire you. I want you to stay. What? What? Really? Yeah. And I, and I also want, um, to forget that this ever happened in the first place.

What about ra? Well, when I told him that I, I fired you, he was really upset. He didn’t wanna be the reason that you lost your job. He pretty much insisted that I hire you.

It’s really big of home. You know, maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all.

So, apparently Brady felt the need to end things with Chloe for Rachel’s sake.

I understand the impulse. Mm-hmm. , but what? I also understand that Rachel doesn’t want someone to replace her mother, but Brady can’t succumb to every tantrum that Rachel has. If he does, she will simply learn that she can manipulate people with her moods. Yeah. Well, you know what? I think you can tell him that, but it’s not gonna do any good cuz he also said he didn’t have a choice.

What does that mean? Well, I’m not sure. Think I have a pretty good idea. Oh, so we sense Kristin’s handy Work here. Well, I am so sorry, Chloe. I, it seems I caught you in Unawares Brady. I, why didn’t you tell Chloe yourself about our plans? I mean, men, they will forget to tell you the house was on fire.

I was gonna tell you. I had no idea she was showing up here today. But you knew she was moving in? Yes.

Oh my God. I don’t, I don’t understand. This is Marla’s house. She almost just died. And you’re gonna let the woman who spent a lifetime tormenting her move in here? No. I was really hoping that we can conduct ourselves. It’s a dull. What is John gonna think? But sitting across from her at the breakfast table every day, oh, maybe a train is around you don’t what, Kristin?

You can take your snide remarks and just shove. Now I understand you breaking up with me for Rachel’s sake, but moving her into your dad and Marlena’s house, that is madness. Mm-hmm. . Well, you know, you’re gonna have to take this up with Brady because it was all his idea.

Nicole, clearly my working with you and for you has caused problems for you and ra. So if I go back who say those problems aren’t gonna start all over again, well, no, they, they won’t because RA and I cleared the air, so things are much better. Is he like a ra? Just thought I rushed. He thought you rushed what?

Nothing. Nothing. No, no, no. You said you cleared the air with ra. I think you need to do the same thing for us.

Ry thought I rushed into marrying. Because of you, but why? Well, didn’t Jada tell you that part? No. No, no. Stop. Jada is not a part of this conversation. Stop using her to dodge answering the question. Why was Ray so worried about you rushing in to get married because of me.

Ra thought I married him too. Have avoided my feelings for you, , which is ridiculous. You see?

Wait, it, it was your idea to have Kristen move in?

Obviously it’s not ideal, but Rachel wanted to spend time with her mom. Yeah. Rachel wants to spend time with her mom, but you’re gonna inflict her on your dad and your stepmom. I think it’s going to be a time for healing. Wouldn’t sharing custody be better than this? Oh wow. Yeah. My dear, dear Sweet Chloe.

Thank you. Thank you so much for your loving input. Um, shared custody. Oh my god, that sounds like a reasonable solution. Uh, but I don’t think the judge is going to allow it because your big mouth made it sound like I was, uh, dangerous and unhinged because you are dangerous and unhinged. Okay, well, in a real way, you were responsible for, um, this new living arrangement, Brady.

Come on, you’ve gotta go back to the judge and make something else work. Other than this, Chloe, I just, this is, this is my only option. Your only option. What the hell,

Brady? Why are you really doing this?

Brady and Chloe broke up. That’s what my sister said. What happened? You know, I don’t know. Christian was so busy doing her happy dance. I didn’t get a lot of the details. Wow. good for you with Brady out of the way. Now you have a clear shot with Chloe. Worked out for both of you. Yeah. Worked out for you too.

What do you mean? You know, Lee, ever since I’ve been back, you’ve been shoving me at Chloe. You said you were in love with her. Right. You just want me to be happy. Had nothing to do with me being married to your fiance.

You want to know what I did to Stephan? I saved his life. So you are welcome and goodbye. Not so fast. What are you doing? Give that back. Oh, is this important? Is it fragile, irreplaceable, give it back. Nope. Mm-hmm. . Not until you tell me what else you did. I don’t know what you mean. Oh, well, Stephan. Stephan was madly and passionately in love with me, and now he hates me with a vengeance, and I know it’s because of you.

What did you get?

Yeah. Come on, start talking. Because I’m not just gonna destroy everything in this box. I’m gonna destroy the entire lab. All I did was bring s Stephan’s son back to life, which was a challenge because thanks to you, he was missing a heart. You told me there was nothing you could do to save him. And after I figured out how to keep him technically alive, I wasn’t sure if I could ever revive him, as in Jake’s heart became available.

And since severe twins, it was a perfect night. Wait a second. Stephan has Jake’s heart. Duh. Jake dies and sucker blue, his twin comes back from the dead. Didn’t you find that timing just a tag coincidental? Oh my God. Chris and I first tried to save Jake, of course, but, and we realized it was a lost cause. I made this switch and.

And then he was alive. Isn’t that enough for you? No. No. Go stop doing that. I can’t help it. If you woke up a little different, my theory is that I took a near death experience for him to realize that you weren’t worthy of him.

No, that is not what happened. Okay. You better start telling me the truth, or you are a dead. Right, and this time there’s not gonna be a doctoral to save your life.

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t ask you that. That’s none of my business. Let me know what it’s, it’s okay. I, I could see. Dragging rape off to City Hall to get married. It looked a little knee jerk on my part, but you know, he, he was, he was buried in work and he was in charge of Abigail’s murder investigation and I, I just didn’t think we needed all that fuss and bother.

Makes sense.

And, You know, last night is, it’s just bottom line. I, I, I should have told RA that I was hiring you in the first place. And it, and it bothered him that I didn’t, and, and he just, he started to think, you know, why did I move up the wedding and maybe, you know, did it hash something to do with us being at, at Abe and Paulina’s.

Like I said, we just needed to clear the air and, and we, and, and we did, and now everything’s fine. So, yeah. Yeah. I’m, I’m, I’m glad. Okay. Well now that that’s settled, um, are you willing to come back to work for me?

You know, Doug, I, I could point out that you think Kristin is responsible for every bad thing that’s ever happened, but then again, you’d be right. You know what scares me? Kristin’s ferocity when it comes to that child. I mean, what about the note in the lunchbox? Yeah. Trying to flame. The child’s hatred for Chloe with, with no regard for what it might do to Rachel.

Yeah. Well, you know what? And she will do anything to get her hands on that little girl. And what about Brady? She wants him back too. Ah, that’s not gonna happen. Doc. I think Brady has finally seen the light about Kristen. I wouldn’t be so sure. It does seem to have a weakness for her. Not anymore. Not anymore.

She no longer holds any sway over Brady. Thank you again. God,

call me please. Can you please accept the fact that I am, I am doing this for Rachel and you think it’s, it’s gonna be healthy for Rachel to live in this at. You don’t think there’s gonna be a certain level of tension in this home? All right, Brady, I’m gonna have to ask you to put an end to this and perhaps you can let her know that none of this, and especially Rachel, is any of her business, just stop.

Okay, Brady. It’s fine. I’m going, you know what? I hated it, but I understood why you had to break up with me, but caving to her. I don’t think I know you anymore.

Well, hmm. Given what I heard about you and Gabby, I was a bit thrown when you came back on the. Yeah, the least a dead husband could do is stay dead. Right. But since you keep saying things along the lines of, she turns my stomach, I can safely assume you no longer have feelings for her, right?

Yeah, sure. I mean, when I died, My feelings for Gabby died with me, although I’m not entirely sure. Why

does it matter? It all worked out. You can be with Chloe now. Hmm. And you and Gabby can live here happily ever after.

Uh, start talking doctor. Are you gonna be reun with Stefano in hell? You wouldn’t dare. Oh, that’s what fell and thought. And I put a bullet in his chest. And for you, I’m thinking cutting you up into tiny pieces and fitting you to the rats. Your deranged No, no. I am determined to get the truth. One last chance, Ralph, what did you do to Stephan?

This is your Caro, isn’t it? Alright. All right. You’re right. I brainwash you.

I knew it. I knew it. I knew you might step and hate me. So now that you know it, could you move that scar away from my throat? Oh, no, no, no, no. I’ve noticed, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you’re more forthcoming with a knife to your neck. But I told you what you wanted to know, and now I wanna know why do you really hate me that much?

Of course I do, but it wasn’t personal. I was just, they’re just following waters. Kristin Dara’s orders, Kristin White. She was hoping that if Stephan Beta, Chloe, he would come between her and Brady. She could have free to herself. She remembers at that one time Stephan was lasting it, sorry, had feelings for Ms.

Lane. She asked me to pump up his old attraction to her, and at the same time, Rekindle his initial hatred of you. This really had nothing to do with me, Ms. Hernandez, a scalper in a minute. Good old Kristin. Always get what she wants. And this time it’s to break up. Chloe and Brady. Yes. That’s what she wanted.

Wait, what does that mean? Kristen wanted to break up Brady and Chloe, but your fiance wanted to protect his investment. Lee, Alicia, he knew everything he knew all along. I had Ste on ice, but the brainwashing , it was his idea. Reef. Hi. I was actually, um, gonna call you later. Do you have time for a drink?

There’s something I’d like to ask you. Um, yeah, sure. I don’t see why not. I’m about to hit you up for a favor. Okay.

I was wondering if you’d be my best. Me, I, I know we are not exactly old friends, but I think it’d mean a lot to Gabby. I know how close the two of you are. Yeah. Wow. Uh, okay. So this means that you two have set a date. Not yet, but now that she and Stefan have signed their divorce papers, there’s nothing stopping.

Unless, of course Stephan isn’t acting of his own free will.

What are you doing here?

Hey, there was, uh, leaving your note. I heard you and Brady broke up and what? You’re here zeroing in on me when I’m down? No, I’m actually. Check on you. Make sure you’re okay. Did your sister tell you that she’s moving in with Brady? No, she didn’t. I’m surprised cuz she, she had a lot of fun telling me she was rubbing my nose in it.

Sorry. Why am. People break up every day. It’s not a big deal.

You’re enjoying this immensely, aren’t you? Oh, yes I am. I have been waiting a long time. For this whole family thing, right? Chris, let me tell you a little something that you might not know. Our daughter Rachel, she’s razor sharp. She’s old for her age. She has a very clear eye. You know, a lot of her adoration that she has for you is based upon the fact that you haven’t even been around.

You convinced her that you were taken from her by this, this, this fairytale villainist, but you. Romantic figure. Just a, an illusion of what a mother is supposed to be. And it’s worked. It’s worked Mainly because she doesn’t even know who you really are.

I mean, is this going someplace? Yeah. Rachel loves my dad and Marlena, and if you try to pull the crap with them that you pulled with, It’s gonna register Kristin, and it’s gonna register in time with Rachel, and she’s gonna realize that you only give a damn about yourself. So I would rethink this family thing.

I would rethink spending a lot of time with Rachel. That might be a tactical era because it’s gonna be really hard, really hard for you to maintain that maternal illusion 24 7 up close and personal. As a matter of fact, I happen to think that that illusion is not gonna hold up. The second your daughter looks you dead in the eyes and says, you know what, mom?

No, are you done? Yeah. Yeah. I’m just giving you some food for thought. Okay, good, good, good. Brady, cuz I’m gonna give you the ground rules. Don’t you ever, ever question my relationship with my daughter again, and don’t you ever forget that I have the upper hand permanently. If I want us to be a family, we are going to be a family.

And if I wanna to live here, we are going to live. Because as only you and I know my lane and her lady friends are gonna need more doses of that serum or they will die. Oh, sweetheart, don’t look so put out.

You see couples fight and then they kiss and then they make up. And they do get on with their lives.

Well, can you ask her to come back? Well, thanks for nothing.

The model thought the shoot was canceled and she got on a plane back to new. I have to get these photos done for Bella Magazine today. Brady and Chloe are gonna kill me.

Do it yourself. What? You know, like you’re the best one I’ve ever worked with. Trust me. Sounds like Gabby told you about her, um, theory that Ralph somehow brainwashed. Mm. . Yeah, that’s right. Hmm. I think it’s just, uh, wishful thinking or a wounded ego on her part. Sure. It’s hard for her to, I accept how Stephan feels about her now.

Well, I guess we’ll be fine out soon enough. What do you mean? I mean that J is grilling raw as we speak.

No, no. Lee wouldn’t do that. Come now, do you think he’s too high minded? No, he wouldn’t do that to me. But he did do that to you. He wants you to himself. He didn’t want the risk losing you to Stephan to the extent that he tried to murder him in his sleep. Papa, he realized Kristin was about to let that happen.

He pitched the idea of brainwashing him and Kristin climbed on board with it.

Okay. Okay. I can’t think about all of that right now. Right now what is important is for you to, to take it back. The brainwashing. Oh, funny you should say that cuz it happens. I’ve already created an antidote. In that box, wouldn’t it be ironic in your fury you had destroyed it too? Get it. Get it.

One dose of this and Stephan will be back to normal.

I’d imagine your encounter with Kristin was pretty rough. She’s not exactly a gracious winner. You can say that again. She’s not exactly a gracious winner.

I mean, it’s hard enough that Brady broke up with me, and I understand that he was doing that for Rachel, but to let Kristen move in with him, It’s sickening.

I just wish I could get on a plane and get the hell out of Salem.

Right here, I got an idea. Oh, where are you going?

You know, shouldn’t I be carrying you across a threshold or so? Oh, hi. Hi. Oh my God, dad, I was, I was gonna call you Mar home. Oh, . I’ve never been so happy to be anywhere in my life. So let’s get you into bed then. Come on. Nope, nope. You know, I just wanna, I wanna sit right here and enjoy the fact that nobody’s walking in and sing.

How are you feeling today, ? That I, I, um, I didn’t know that. Um, there’s something I have to tell you. What is it? Ernie Brady? Do you know where La Marlena puts the, oh, John Marlena, welcome home.

How I look

that bad, huh? I know. You, you, you look great. Did I? I was just, you know, trying to figure out how am I gonna shoot the dress? That’s knockout, isn’t it the right words? For sure. Um, hey, can you stand over here and let me a few sample shots.

Oh, oh, . Sorry. Nervous. Oh my God. Yeah.

Well, I hope this is a kinda like riding a bicycle. I knew it. Camera loves you. Yes’, one thing.

It’s perfect. Hey.

Well, Marlena, you look so much better. I mean, back at the hospital, you really did look like you were on death store. What are you doing here? I am surprised that they let you home so soon. I asked you a. What? Why are you here? Oh, Brady, do you wanna tell them or should I

what? Saw this, you said you wanted to get away, but we are both tied to our jobs, so I thought I would recreate Miami. I think we did that time in Doug’s place. Remember? It’s kind of hard to forget. Yeah. Well, you need to relax now even more than you did then, Stephan. I, I, I, I appreciate this, but I’m sorry I’m in, I’m really in a terrible mood.

Okay. So being in a bad mood. On a beach with a margarita. Salton knows Salt

Gabby’s at the lab right now. I can’t believe you let her go there by herself. She didn’t ask my permission. I I, I’ve gotta get over there. How much you need the address right? Text it to me. Will you? Ga Gabby. Oh, I was, um, just, just coming to. I was talking to roll, you know, re just told me, Gabby, what did he say?

He said Gabby, what did RO say? Um, I’m sorry, I lost my train of thought there for a second. Um, he said that he didn’t do anything to turn stuff in against me and for some weird reason. Honestly believe him.

Mr. Shield was right. I’ll be better off than Jakarta. At least there I won’t have. Luda takes barging in on me whenever they feel like. And that Hernandez woman was the craziest as all . Thank God I had that vial of CRS 17. She won’t remember a thing. Gabby. No one, especially you ever believes Ralph. Well, I held a scalpel to his throat and he still said he didn’t do anything.

Okay? And if you have to hold a scalpel into someone’s throat, you shouldn’t tell a cop about it. You believe it? Yes. Yes I do. And I think it’s for the best. Makes moving on a lot easier. I’m so glad to hear you say that. Speaking of which, I just asked RA to be my best man at our wedding. Oh, that is a great idea.

I’m actually still waiting for an answer. It would be my.

Thank you ra. Mm-hmm. . I hope that, uh, our marriage is as happy as yours and Nicole’s.

Yeah. Oh, Eric, these are great. Well, I wasn’t lying. You still have what it takes? Well, after all these years, We still make a great team.

Ah, you like that one? Yeah. We’ll star that one.

So how’s your drink? Actually, it’s kind of perfect. Hmm.

Oh, I almost forgot.

There. What do you think?

I think this is the nicest thing anyone’s done for me in a while. Hmm. Thank you S Stephen.

You’re very welcome.

Cheers,

so. You’re going to be living here with us? Mm-hmm. . I mean, isn’t that great? Oh, I better get back to the kitchen. I wouldn’t wanna burn our first dinner together as family,

so I think. You have some serious explaining to do.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Brooke sighs ]

[ Knocking on door ]

Brooke: Ridge.

Brooke: Tell me aspen was a mistake. That you got caught up. Just tell me you’re coming back home.

Steffy: The day has finally come. You and dad are back together.

Taylor: I know. I’m so happy. I– it feels like everything is just– it’s just right, you know?

Steffy: Because it is. Everything’s right. I mean, the only thing that’s wrong right now is dad not being here. I can’t believe he’s back at brooke’s again.

Taylor: No, no. Honey, I mean, you know, he had to do it. It was the right thing to do. And he had to get some stuff, anyway.

Steffy: Yeah.

Taylor: We trust him, remember?

Liam: Hey, I brought your favorite, carbs and carbs.

[ Bill chuckles ] Thank you.

Liam: Yeah. You know, ridge always comes back.

Bill: Until he doesn’T.

Liam: Yeah, but this isn’t the first time he’s left brooke.

Bill: Well, it’s gonna be the last time. Forrester is a fool, and brooke isn’t going to put up with him anymore.

Liam: See, I wouldn’t do that if I were you. I wouldn’t count ridge and brooke–

Bill: That relationship is finished, liam. And it’s the greatest thing that ever happened for brooke.

Liam: The greatest? You want to unpack that for me?

Bill: I’m gonna step in.

Hope: I can’t believe that you and dollar bill got into it. The fact that he came over to your apartment uninvited and then threw his fake money in your face. Dad, I’m– I’m sorry. That’s so disrespectful.

Deacon: Disrespectful? I don’t know. There’s another way of looking at it. I mean, he came all the way down to my place in person just to tell me to stay away from your mother. That tells me that he respects the possibility that I got a chance. And it also tells me that he’s worried.

Bill: The convict actually thinks he has a shot with brooke–

Liam: My father-in-law thinks he has a shot at brooke.

Bill: Another loser unworthy of her.

Liam: All right, well, that loser and brooke happen to have a daughter together. And why are we talking about deacon right now?

Bill: Because he’s dumb enough to think that brooke is gonna take him back.

Deacon: So, how’s your mom holdin’ up?

Hope: She’s heartbroken. It’s hard to believe that her marriage is actually ending.

Deacon: You know, I hate to hear that, I really do. But I– I’m not surprised. I mean, it’s classic forrester. Textbook. Is he really going back to taylor?

Hope: Yeah, it looks that way. None of us are really even sure as to why, but one thing is certain, that steffy’s interference certainly didn’t help.

Steffy: I can’t help but pity brooke a little.

Taylor: Yeah, she must be devastated.

Steffy: That is really nice of you, that you care about brooke’s well-being.

Taylor: Well, I mean, I just– I understand. I understand. I’ve been there many times.

Both: Because of her.

Steffy: You know what, this isn’t about brooke. This is about you and dad and your love for each other.

Steffy: So don’t let that man-go. Okay?

Taylor: Oh, my god. That was brilliant.

[ Both laughing ]

Ridge: It was never my intention to hurt you, logan.

Brooke: Ridge. Look, I know you still love me. I know that. So whatever this is about, we can work through it–

Ridge: I’m here to pick up some of my things.

Brooke: No. I am not gonna give up on us. And you never even told me what this is about, anyway.

Brooke: Ridge, please, just look at me. What is it? Why are you doing this?

Bill: Ridge did brooke a favor by cutting himself loose.

Liam: No, he didn’T. She’s totally shattered right now.

Bill: Yeah, and nobody hates seeing brooke in pain more than I do. So, I’m gonna put a stop to it. Right here. All right? Ridge and deacon can both hit the road.

Liam: So, to be clear, the way that you’re gonna be there for brooke is just by stepping in and taking over?

Bill: It’s what I do.

Liam: Fair enough. All right well, what about katie?

Bill: I’ve tried, and tried, as you well know. She wants nothing to do with me. Katie is moving on. Well, I’m moving on as well. For the woman who’s always accepted me for who I am.

Liam: All right, but you don’t think that brooke could use a little… space?

Bill: I am what’s best for brooke. And if that clown, deacon, thinks that he has a chance with her, he’s an even bigger moron than I realized.

Deacon: I know how close you and your mom are, and I can tell you’re worried about her.

Hope: Well, it’s hard not to be.

Deacon: Has anyone asked how you’re doing? I mean, how are you doing?

Hope: I’m okay. Although, my patience is wearing out when it comes to steffy.

Deacon: Is that causing any problems for you and liam? I mean, he… he and steffy share a child, so–

Hope: No, no. It’s nothing like that, it’s just… there’s been a lot of stress… overall, especially with the situation with douglas.

Deacon: Are there any new developments on that front?

Hope: Well, he’s with thomas. He’s happy.

Deacon: He’s happy. Are you happy about that, or–

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: Oh, hey, okay.

Hope: Let’s drop it.

Deacon: Pinning it.

Hope: Yeah. But I will say, though, between you and me… maybe a part of me is relieved with this whole situation with mom, because she’s been struggling for a while with ridge to try to make their marriage work. And maybe… maybe it isn’t what’s best for her.

Taylor: Okay. Yes. I love that. That’s awe– thank you. No, no, no, I got it. Thank you. Bye-bye. Bye, bye, bye, bye.

Steffy: Was that dad?

Taylor: Uh, no. No, he is still dealing with the brooke situation.

Steffy: Oh, okay. Do you want me to go into the other room? If it’s a private conversation, I respect that. I can– I can just go.

Taylor: No, no, you saw me getting off the phone. I was like, “bye!”

Steffy: You, like, seemed to… rush off. So, I can– I can just leave, it’s fine.

Taylor: I did? Really? I–

Steffy: Yeah. You, uh, you– you did.

Taylor: Hm. I didn’t realize that.

Steffy: Were you talking to a patient? Like, you’re acting, uh, I don’t know, a little weird.

Taylor: Me?

Steffy: What is going on with you?

Steffy: Are you okay?

Taylor: Yes, I’m– I’m– I’m fine. I’M… fine. I– I, um, I did a thing.

Steffy: You did a thing?

Taylor: A “thing” thing. A surprise thing. And I really hope your dad is as happy as I am about it.

Brooke’s voice: I’d like

to report a child in danger.

His father, thomas forester,

is unstable.

He has a knife.

Brooke: I know you, ridge.

I know there’s something

that you’re not saying.

And I wish you would just…

just say it. Just–

Ridge: Why– why are you

doing this?

Why are you– why are you

pretending that you don’t know

what this is?

Brooke: I don’T.

Ridge: Can you just

be honest and– and say it?

I just need

to hear you say it.

Brooke: It’s me, standing here. Ridge. Your logan. Your wife.

[ Sighs ] Please, just talk to me. I mean, we’ve survived so many things through the years, and we can get through this, too. I think it’d be good to just get it off your chest. We really need to be open and honest.

Ridge: Yeah. I just want to get some of my things.

Ridge: You’ll always be in my heart, but I’m– I’m moving on with taylor.

Liam: You– [Chuckles] Dad, you– I think you need to chill out a little bit and give brooke a minute to breathe.

Bill: I love brooke, liam. I do. And I respect her. I’m not gonna put any pressure on her.

Liam: Okay, that’s good to hear, because this is a lot for her, right? Losing ridge is a huge change in her life.

Bill: A change for the better.

Deacon: Listen, your mom’s gonna need people around her who really care about her, and I– I just want you to know she’s lucky to have you as a daughter. And so am I.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, you know I’ve always supported mom. Even defended her marriage to ridge. But, I don’t know. If he can just so easily and so callously walk away from her without any explanation and go back to taylor, then, you know, maybe it wasn’t meant to be after all.

Deacon: Well, it’s a safe bet that it wasn’T.

Hope: Yeah, well, if he acts like that, maybe he doesn’t deserve her. Not like you.

Deacon: Me?

Hope: Come on, dad, we all know how you feel about mom and you, would be there for her.

Deacon: Yeah, I’d be there in a minute. I mean, of course I would.

Hope: Yeah, well, guess what? You couldn’t because of ridge.

Deacon: Because ridge banned me from the premises.

Hope: Mm-hm.

Deacon: What?

Hope: Why don’t we go pay mom a visit and, I don’t know, maybe you could tell her how you feel.

Steffy: A surprise.

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: For dad?

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, a– a– a big surprise.

Steffy: Mom, what did you do?

Taylor: Well, I– I just, um, I stepped into our future with something from our past.

Steffy: Uh-huh, okay, something from your past…

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah, okay, uh, I cannot tell you, I’m not going to say anything.

Steffy: Okay. Can I guess?

Taylor: You’re never gonna guess. Okay, one guess.

Steffy: Are you flying him to saint thomas? You’re gonna do, like, the whole romantic proposal? That’s what it is!

Taylor: No. No, it’s not. But that’s a really fun idea, too.

Steffy: It’s a good idea.

Taylor: It’s a really good idea.

Steffy: What else could it be, then?

Taylor: No, no, I am not gonna tell you. I’m not gonna tell you. I don’t wanna ruin the surprise that I– I really, really just hope that ridge is as excited as I am. I’m gonna text him right now.

Steffy: Okay, well, now that you’re not telling me, I’m gonna say, this whole vibe, I’m really loving. To see you so… joyful and full of excitement.

[ Taylor sighs ] Yeah. Thank you. It’s called love. You know?

Taylor: Do you have a blindfold?

Brooke: Ridge. Don’T. Ridge, please. Just, stay here with me.

Ridge: This is hard enough as it is. Listen, we can’t do this anymore. We can’t keep hurting each other. So, I talked to carter and he’s gonna– he’s gonna get some paperwork together.

Brooke: Some paperwork?

Ridge: For the annulment.

Brooke: Annulment?

Ridge: I– I think it’s the right way to handle things.

Brooke: What? What are you even talking about? You want to just pretend that our marriage never existed? You want to trample on our vows? And, what about the commitment we made to each other, and– and to our family?

Brooke: And everything that we built? Everything. All of the beautiful memories we’ve had here in this home. I– I don’t even know what you’re talking about, ridge. None of this makes sense. What happened? What changed things for you?

Ridge: Can you just– can–

Ridge: Carter is gonna be in touch.

Ridge: I’ll always love you.

[ Brooke sighs ] Ridge. Wait. Please.

[ Sighs ] (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have,…

Taylor: Can you see?

Ridge: Uh, no.

Taylor: No? No, okay, step down

Ridge: Maybe because you told me to come down the P.C.H. And then you blindfolded me.

Ridge: So, that’s why I can’t see.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you look very sexy in that blindfold. Up.

Ridge: Okay.

Taylor: Now that– shh. You’re gonna ruin the surprise.

Ridge: Surprise? Ah, you know how I love surprises.

Ridge: Last time you surprised me was that roller-skating party. Ah, that was a big hit.

Taylor: Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep, I’m gonna just tell you the same thing that I told you then, just roll with it.

Ridge: Roll with it?

Taylor: Roll…

Ridge: I don’t wanna roll with it. I– I– I’ve been kidnapped and I feel like somebody’s gonna throw me off the malibu pier.

Taylor: Oh, no, you guessed what I was gonna do. Ah, see you later.

Ridge: Oh, god.

[ Both chuckle ]

Taylor: Okay, take it off. Your blindfold.

[ Laughing ]

Ridge: Oh, okay. Good start.

Ridge: The beach house.

Taylor: Mm-hm. Yup.

Ridge: What are we doing here?

Taylor: I don’t know, just being reminded of our, of our time in this magical little home on the ocean.

Ridge: Yeah. I remember. Those were the best times of my life.

Ridge: Mm. Does wyatt know we broke into his house?

Taylor: Ooh, it’s his old house.

[ Keys jingling ]

Taylor: You see, um, even before aspen, I was looking for a place to live ’cause, you know, I was sick of walking in on steffy and finn in mid-makeout. But then when you asked me, or, you told me that you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me, I, I just thought–

Ridge: Did you buy this place?

Taylor: I did. I just thought that, it would be great if we had, an amazing little place together– hm.

Taylor: Welcome home, ridge.

[ Door opening ]

Hope: Hi. I didn’t see ridge’s car in the drive, so…

Brooke: Yeah, no. Ridge is gone. He’s leaving me and going back to taylor.

Deacon: I’m sorry, brooke.

Hope: Are– are you okay?

Brooke: I’m confused. I mean, I– I don’t know why this happened. I don’t know why he suddenly just up and left. Me. His wife. So that he could be with taylor. He wants to put that other family back together.

Hope: Maybe that’s where he belongs. With them.

Brooke: How could you say that?

Hope: Well, it’s just, maybe he’s on to something. Maybe there’s something beautiful about rebuilding a family.

[ Brooke clears throat ]

Deacon: I think I’m gonna have to agree with our very wise, very smart daughter. O-okay. All right. We’re, uh, we’re gonna do this, right?

[ Clearing throat ] I know that this might seem, like, it’s out of the blue.

Deacon: But I’ve been dreamin’ about this for a very long time. It’s kept me going. You’ve kept me going. Both of you have. You’ve always been the one, brooke. And look, if ridge is off with taylor, then maybe it’s time that we, repair our family. I mean, look what we did together, you and me. Look, we– we made this amazing, exceptional woman. And if we could– if we can do that, imagine the– the magic and the love that we could have if we would just give it a chance. I– I— know I don’t deserve you, but then again, nobody does. You are the most phenomenal woman I have ever met. And I promise you that if you take this journey with me, I will prove my love to you every single day. And I will cherish, and honor you until my last breath. And you’ll never have to worry about my feelings, or my loyalty. And all you have to do, is just say yes. Just… say you’ll marry me.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Marlena is in her hospital bed, on the phone with Sami. Marlena assures her that she is feeling better and promises to call her when she gets out as John arrives. John points out that Marlena said she would call Sami when she gets home so he then reveals that she’s getting out in an hour which excites Marlena. Marlena mentions that John needs to call Brady since he’s been very concerned but John looks away, so Marlena asks what’s the matter. John informs Marlena that Brady just broke up with Chloe.

After Kristen tells Chloe that she’s moving in, Chloe questions if she’s completely lost her mind because there’s no way in Hell that Brady would ever let her move in. Kristen understands her reaction and says she could hardly believe it herself. Chloe argues that this can’t be true. Chloe asks Brady to tell her that Kristen is making it up and to then throw her the hell out.

Stefan goes to Chloe’s room at the Salem Inn and knocks on the door, saying he heard about her and Brady so he came to check on her. Stefan continues knocking but there’s no answer. Stefan then starts to walk away but Li Shin comes around the corner and says he hopes Stefan isn’t giving up on Chloe that easily.

Dr. Rolf begins packing his things in his lab and says a change of scenery can be good for the mind while a new lab means new work and new ideas. Dr. Rolf declares that Salem is nothing without Stefano anyway. Dr. Rolf then goes to leave right as Gabi arrives. Gabi questions if he’s going somewhere and remarks that he looks like he’s fleeing the scene of a crime. Dr. Rolf says he’s done nothing wrong so Gabi questions why he’s in such a hurry to leave. Dr. Rolf informs her that he’s leaving town and has a plane to catch. Gabi stops him and says he’s not going anywhere until they talk about what he did to Stefan.

Stefan tells Li that he’s not giving up on Chloe but since she’s not here, he’s giving up on knocking on her door. Li encourages him to just keep trying. Stefan thanks him but points out that he barely knows him. Li continues to encourage him and mentions that Chloe is with Brady at the moment. Stefan responds that it’s not his business, but Chloe and Brady are not together anymore.

Nicole goes to see Eric, who says he wants to understand why she fired him. Eric argues that it wasn’t because of budget reasons but because she and Rafe got in to a fight last night over them working together. Nicole questions how he learned that. Eric admits that Jada told him and explains that she overheard them fighting outside the Pub on her way home. Nicole apologizes. Eric just wishes she fired him in person. Eric guesses she came to get his badge but Nicole reveals that she came to rehire him because she wants him to stay which shocks him. Nicole adds that she also wants to forget this ever happened. Eric asks what about Rafe. Nicole says that when she told Rafe that she fired him, he was really upset and didn’t want to be the reason that Eric lost his job, so he pretty much insisted that she hire him back. Eric admits that’s really big of Rafe but decides maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all.

John explains to Marlena that Brady apparently felt the need to end things with Chloe for Rachel’s sake. Marlena says she understands the impulse and that Rachel doesn’t want someone to replace her mother. Marlena argues that Brady can’t succumb to every tantrum Rachel has. John brings up that Brady also said he didn’t have a choice. John isn’t sure what that means but thinks he has a pretty good idea. Marlena senses Kristen’s handy work.

Kristen tells Chloe that she’s sorry for catching her unaware and questions why Brady didn’t tell Chloe about their plans. Brady tells Chloe that he was going to tell her but he had no idea that Kristen was showing up here today. Chloe questions him knowing that she was moving in which Brady confirms. Chloe doesn’t understand and argues that this is Marlena’s house and he’s going to let the woman who spent a lifetime tormenting her move in. Kristen hoped they could conduct themselves as an adult. Chloe asks what John is going to think about this and tells Kristen to shove her snide remarks. Chloe understands Brady breaking up with her for Rachel’s sake but moving Kristen in is madness. Kristen tells Chloe to take this up with Brady and claims that it was all his idea.

Eric tells Nicole that working with her has clearly caused problems for her and Rafe, so he worries about causing those problems all over again. Nicole assures that it won’t happen since she and Rafe cleared the air and are much better now. Nicole starts to say that Rafe thought she rushed but stops. Eric asks what she was going to say. Nicole tries to say it was nothing but Eric says if she and Rafe cleared the air, they need to do the same. Nicole then admits that Rafe thought she rushed in to marrying him because of Eric which Eric questions. Nicole explains that Rafe thought she married him to avoid her feelings for Eric which she calls ridiculous. Eric asks if it is.

Chloe questions it being Brady’s idea to have Kristen move in. Brady says it’s obviously not ideal but Rachel wanted to spend time with her mom. Chloe questions Brady inflicting Kristen on to John and Marlena. Kristen calls it a time of healing. Chloe suggests shared custody being better than this. Kristen mocks Chloe for her input and blames Chloe for the judge not allowing shared custody. Chloe calls Kristen dangerous and unhinged. Kristen blames Chloe for this new living arrangement. Chloe argues that they can go back to the judge and make something else work that’s better than this. Brady tells Chloe that this is his only option which she questions. Chloe asks Brady why he is really doing this.

Li questions Stefan about Chloe and Brady breaking up. Stefan confirms that’s what Kristen said. Li asks what happened. Stefan says he doesn’t know as Kristen was so happy that he didn’t get a lot of the details. Li says that’s good for Stefan as now he has a clear shot with Chloe since Brady is out of the way, so it worked out for Stefan and Kristen. Stefan remarks that it worked out for Li too which he questions. Stefan says ever since he’s been back, Li has been shoving him at Chloe. Li points out that Stefan said he was in love with her. Stefan questions Li just wanting him to be happy and it having nothing to do with him being married to Gabi.

Dr. Rolf tells Gabi that all he did to Stefan was save his life. Gabi takes Dr. Rolf’s box of belongings and refuses to give it back until he tells her what else he did. Dr. Rolf claims not to know what she means. Gabi talks about Stefan being madly in love with her and now hating her, so she questions what he did. Gabi then breaks a glass tube from his box and threatens to destroy everything in the box and the entire lab if Dr. Rolf doesn’t start talking. Dr. Rolf repeats that all he did was bring Stefan back to life and how he was able to do so once Jake’s heart became available since they were twins. Gabi is shocked to learn Stefan has Jake’s heart. Dr. Rolf explains that he and Kristen tried to save Jake but after realizing it was a lost cause, he used his heart to bring Stefan back to life. Gabi argues that it’s not enough for her and breaks another one of his things. Dr. Rolf argues that he can’t help the way Stefan woke up and remarks that he believes it took a near-death experience for Stefan to realize that she wasn’t worthy of him. Gabi then grabs a scalpel and pins Dr. Rolf against the wall, threatening him to tell her what really happened or he’s a dead man and there won’t be anyone to save his life.

Eric apologizes to Nicole for asking as it’s none of his business but she says it’s okay. Nicole admits that dragging Rafe off to get married seemed like a knee jerk reaction but he was buried at work while in charge of Abigail’s murder investigation so she didn’t think they needed all that fuss and bother. Eric admits it makes sense. Nicole says she should have told Rafe that she was hiring Eric and it bothered him that she didn’t, so he started to question why she moved up the wedding and if it had something to do with them being at Abe and Paulina’s wedding. Nicole repeats that they cleared the air and now everything is fine. Eric says he’s glad. Nicole asks Eric if he’s now willing to come back to work for her.

John tells Marlena that he could point out that she thinks Kristen is responsible for every bad thing that’s ever happened but she’d be right. Marlena admits Kristen’s ferocity when it comes to Rachel scares her. John notes that Kristen will do anything to get her hands on Rachel. Marlena points out that Kristen wants Brady back too. John assures that won’t happen as he thinks Brady has finally seen the light about Kristen. Marlena responds that she wouldn’t be so sure as Brady does seem to have a weakness for Kristen. John insists that he doesn’t anymore and thanks God for that.

Brady pleads with Chloe to accept the fact that he’s doing this for Rachel. Chloe questions thinking this atmosphere will be healthy for Rachel. Kristen asks Brady to put an end to this and to tell Chloe it’s none of her business. Chloe agrees to leave. Chloe cries that she hated it but understands why he had to break up with her but after caving to Kristen, she doesn’t think she knows Brady anymore. Chloe then takes her things and storms out.

Li tells Stefan that given what he heard about him and Gabi, he was a bit thrown when he came back on the scene. Li brings up that Stefan keeps saying Gabi turns his stomach so he assumes that he no longer has feelings for her. Stefan acknowledges that when he “died”, his feelings for Gabi died with him, though he’s not entirely sure why. Li asks if it matters since it all worked out and he can be with Chloe now. Stefan points out that Li and Gabi can live their happily ever after.

Gabi demands Dr. Rolf start talking or he’ll be reunited with Stefano in Hell. Dr. Rolf doesn’t believe her. Gabi reminds him that she killed Nick Fallon and warns that she’s giving him one last chance to tell her what he did to Stefan. Gabi takes the scalpel to his throat until Dr. Rolf finally gives in and admits that he brainwashed Stefan. Gabi says she knew he made Stefan hate her. Gabi questions if he really hates her that much. Dr. Rolf says he does but it wasn’t personal and he was just following Kristen’s orders. Gabi asks why. Dr. Rolf explains that Kristen hoped if Stefan went after Chloe, he’d come between her and Brady. Gabi realizes that means Kristen could have Brady all to herself. Dr. Rolf adds that Kristen remembered Stefan’s previous feelings for Chloe so she asked him to pump up his attraction to her and rekindle his initial hatred of Gabi. Gabi questions this really having nothing to do with her. Dr. Rolf reveals that is what Kristen wanted but Li also wanted to protect his investment. Gabi questions Li knowing. Dr. Rolf confirms that Li knew all along that he had Stefan on ice. Dr. Rolf then reveals that the brainwashing was Li’s idea.

Li runs in to Rafe in the town square and says he was going to call him later. Li asks if Rafe has time for a drink because there’s something he would like to ask him. Rafe says sure so Li tells him he’s about to hit him up for a favor as they sit together. Li informs Rafe that he was wondering if he would be his best man which surprises him. Li knows they aren’t old friends but he thinks it would mean a lot to Gabi because of how close they are. Rafe guesses this means they have set a date. Li says not yet but now that Gabi and Stefan are divorced, there’s nothing stopping them. Rafe remarks that’s unless Stefan isn’t acting of his own free will.

Chloe goes home and questions what Stefan is doing outside of her door. Stefan says he was just leaving her a note as he heard she and Brady broke up. Chloe asks if he’s here to zero in on her when she’s down. Stefan responds that he’s actually here to check on her and make sure she’s okay. Chloe asks if Kristen told him that she’s moving in with Brady. Stefan says she didn’t. Chloe talks about Kristen having a lot of fun telling her and rubbing her nose in it. Stefan says he’s sorry. Chloe asks why since people break up every day so it’s no big deal as she then breaks down crying. Stefan hugs her as she cries.

Kristen sits on the couch and puts her feet up, talking about how she’s enjoying this because she’s been waiting for this for a long time. Brady talks about Rachel being sharp and wise for her age. Brady says Rachel’s feelings towards Kristen have to do with Kristen not being around and having convinced her that she was taken away. Brady says it’s worked because Rachel doesn’t even know who Kristen really is. Kristen asks if this is going somewhere. Brady points out that Rachel loves John and Marlena. Brady warns that if she tries to pull the same crap she pulled with Chloe with John and Marlena, it will register with Rachel that Kristen only gives a damn about herself. Brady advises Kristen to rethink this family thing and spending a lot of time with Rachel because it will be really hard for Kristen to maintain that maternal illusion. Brady doesn’t think it will hold up when Rachel says no to Kristen. Kristen asks if he’s done. Brady calls it food for thought. Kristen warns Brady to never question her relationship with her daughter again and reminds him that she has the upper hand, permanently. Kristen declares that if she wants them to be a family and live here then they will because as only they know, Marlena and her friends will need more doses of the serum or they will die. Kristen remarks that couples fight and then they kiss and make up and get on with their lives.

Nicole and Eric go to work at Basic Black. Nicole finishes a call and informs Eric that the model thought the photoshoot was cancelled, so she flew back home and she needed to get these photos done for Bella Magazine today. Nicole worries that Brady and Chloe are going to kill her. Eric then suggests Nicole be the model herself. Eric calls her the best model he ever worked with and insists it will be fine.

Li guesses that Gabi told Rafe her theory that Dr. Rolf somehow brainwashed Stefan which Rafe confirms. Li calls it just wishful thinking or a wounded ego as it’s hard for Gabi to accept how Stefan feels about her now. Rafe guesses they will be finding out soon enough. Li asks what he means. Rafe then reveals that Gabi is grilling Dr. Rolf as they speak.

Gabi argues that Li wouldn’t do that to her. Dr. Rolf confirms that he did because he wants her to himself and didn’t want to lose her to Stefan to the extent that he tried to murder Stefan in his sleep but Kristen wouldn’t let that happen so Li pitched the idea of brainwashing Stefan which Kristen got on board with. Gabi complains that she can’t think about all of that and demands that Dr. Rolf reverse the brainwashing. Dr. Rolf responds that he had already created an antidote but it was in his box, so he notes that it would be ironic if Gabi destroyed that too. Gabi lets Dr. Rolf go and orders him to get the antidote from his box. Dr. Rolf reveals a syringe and declares that with one dose of it, Stefan will be back to normal. Dr. Rolf then grabs Gabi and injects her with the syringe instead, causing her to pass out.

Chloe and Stefan go in to her room. Stefan imagines her encounter with Kristen was rough as she’s not exactly a gracious winner. Chloe cries that it’s hard enough that Brady broke up with her but to let Kristen move in with him is sickening. Chloe wishes she could get on a plane and get out of Salem. Stefan tells her to wait there as he has an idea and then exits the room.

John brings Marlena home where Brady greets them and hugs Marlena. Marlena says she’s never been so happy to be anywhere in her life. John wants to get Marlena in bed but Marlena says she just wants to sit here and enjoy not having people come in to ask how she’s feeling. Brady didn’t know she was coming home today and says there is something he has to tell them. Marlena asks what it is. Kristen then comes out from the back and welcomes them home.

Nicole puts on a dress to model in and asks Eric how she looks. Eric tells her that she looks great and talks about preparing the photoshoot. Eric starts taking photos and encourages that the camera loves her.

Kristen tells Marlena that she looks so much better as she looked like she was on death’s door at the hospital. John questions what she’s doing here. Kristen excitedly asks if Brady wants to tell them or if she should.

Stefan returns to Chloe’s room with bags and says that she said she wanted to leave Salem but they can’t because of their jobs, so he decided to recreate Miami like they did before at Doug’s Place. Chloe appreciates it but says she’s really in a terrible mood. Stefan insists on making her a margarita.

Li is shocked and can’t believe that Rafe let Gabi go to Dr. Rolf’s lab by herself. Rafe responds that she didn’t ask his permission. Li decides has to get there and gets up to go. Rafe reminds him that he’ll need the address. Li tells Rafe to just text it to him. Gabi then approaches and informs Li that she was taking to Dr. Rolf. Li notes that Rafe just told him and asks what Dr. Rolf said. Gabi starts to respond but stops and says she lost her train of thought as Rafe asks what he said. Gabi then says that Dr. Rolf said he didn’t do anything to turn Stefan against her and for some weird reason, she believes him.

Dr. Rolf declares that Li was right that he’ll be better off leaving Salem since he won’t have lunatics barging in on him whenever they feel like it. Dr. Rolf calls Gabi the craziest of them all and says thank God he had the vial of CRS-17, so Gabi won’t remember a thing.

Rafe tells Gabi that no one, especially her, ever believes Dr. Rolf. Gabi argues that she held a scalpel to his throat and he still didn’t say anything. Rafe comments that she shouldn’t tell a cop about that. Li asks if Gabi believes Dr. Rolf. Gabi confirms that she does and thinks it’s for the best as it makes moving on a lot easier. Li is so glad to hear her say that and announces that he just asked Rafe to be his best man at their wedding. Gabi calls that a great idea. Li points out that he’s actually still waiting for an answer. Rafe then says it would be his pleasure and they shake hands. Gabi thanks Rafe. Gabi hopes their marriage is as happy as Rafe and Nicole’s.

Nicole and Eric look over her modeling photos together. Nicole says they are great. Eric says she still has it. Nicole comments that after all these years, they still make a great team.

Stefan and Chloe have margaritas together. Chloe admits her drink is kind of perfect and calls this the nicest thing anyone has done for her in awhile as she thanks him.

Marlena questions Kristen living here with them which she excitedly confirms and calls great. Kristen says she has to get back to the kitchen so she doesn’t burn their first dinner together as a family. John thinks Brady has some serious explaining to do.

Tucker: I hope this invitation means that you and i are — we’re on good terms. Like, we’re — there’s no grudges between us, no ill will between us.

Nikki: Well, that all depends on what happens going forward, since you seem to be staying in town for a while.

Tucker: I might, I might. I’m having a ball getting reacquainted with all the, um — what’d you call them? — The respectable families of Genoa City? And then, of course, to be invited here to the ranch, to sit with the grand dame of the community, well, that’s — that means a lot.

Nikki: That title does not belong to me. There is only one grand dame of Genoa City. Your mother.

Tucker: Ah, yes. The duchess. Yeah. Very respectable. Sorry. Did I offend you?

Nikki: No, no, not at all. But I’m afraid you

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

Talia: So, now that you don’t have Nikki Newman to impress, maybe you can give me some real answers.

Tucker: Fire away. Just don’t ask about the rumor.

Talia: What rumor?

Tucker: Oh, there’s this nasty rumor going around that the real reason I came to town is to try to convince Victor Newman to build a rocket with me so we can launch ourselves into space. You know, it’s what billionaires are doing these days. But I probably should not have said anything, should I? Because you’re going to do an article with the headline “McCall and Newman shoot themselves into space.”

Talia: You should be so lucky. You have history with the Newman family, going head to head with Victor in business and personally

Tucker: I don’t think so because Katherine — when she died, she left the company to victor. So, there’s history there. Victoria would know that and try to honor it. Hey, Victoria. What a welcome coincidence. Ah, you look as lovely as ever.

Victoria: And you still have the same silver tongue.

Tucker: Can you join me? I’d love to catch up with you.

Victoria: I suppose that i can while I’m waiting for my takeout. It’s as good a way as any to pass the time.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Allow me.

Victoria: I gather from your dramatic entrance at the Abbott’s that Ashley is the unfortunate recipient of your attention right now

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

Victoria: On second thought, maybe it’s better that Ashley wasn’t there. Would’ve been really humiliating for you if she told you to go to hell in front of half of Genoa City’s movers and shakers.

Tucker: I don’t care what anyone thinks of me.

Victoria: Oh, please. You are the most image-conscience person that i know. You thrive on attention.

Tucker: And you don’t want to give me that satisfaction, do you?

V ictoria:   I  have nothing more to say about you.

Tucker: Okay, let’s talk about you, then. That whole Ashland Locke fiasco — what happened there?

Victoria: Well, I prefer not to think about that time.

Tucker: Ah. Well, I see. And yet you emerged from it all with Newman even stronger.

Victoria: It’s kind of you to notice.

Tucker: Oh, I’ve noticed everything you’ve done. I’m impressed with everything you’ve done with the company since you took over.

Victoria: I take it you were getting all of the business news while you were at the ashram?

Tucker: [Chuckles] I plead the fifth.

Victoria: What about the mystical experience? Did you glean any insight into yourself?

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Dustin

On a beach in Jacksonville, Carly spread Virginia’s ashes into the ocean. She told Drew that she used to play on the beaches there and catch hermit crabs. Drew said he could picture Carly there, playing on the rocks.  He asked if Carly ever tried to take the crabs home. Carly said no, because her mother told her the crabs lived on the beach and it was their home. Carly told Drew that her mother had said that one day she would live there on the beach too. Drew lifted her urn and said, “and now she will.” Carly eulogized Virginia.  She told her that she was a good Mom and apologized for not always making her feel that way and then she spread her ashes into the water. Afterwards, Carly claimed that she’d found closure and perspective. She told Drew that the emergency landing of her plane in Jacksonville seemed to be an inconvenience but she realized that her mother needed her and she was glad things had happened as they did. Drew and Carly kissed.

In the boathouse at the Quartermaine mansion, Robert was stunned to find Holly alive. Robert told Holly that everyone had thought Holly had died, and he asked where she had been for the past two years. Holly said that she thought she’d been on a boat. Robert wanted to have Holly examined at the hospital for a possible concussion, and Dante called for an ambulance.

At the hospital, Robert told Austin that Holly had been experiencing memory issues. Holly reluctantly agreed to let Austin examine her. After the exam, Robert asked Holly what had been the last thing she’d remembered before waking up in the boathouse. Holly recalled that she had been working a case for the WSB in Monte Carlo. Robert shared that he and Ethan had searched Monte Carlo “up and down” for Holly. Holly was surprised that Robert had gone in search of her, but Robert said he would do it again. Robert wanted Holly to stay in the hospital overnight, but Holly refused.

Also at the hospital, Sasha confided her grief over Brando to Maxie, who shared with Sasha the grief she had felt after Nathan’s death. Mason appeared, and he asked if he could speak to Maxie. Mason asked Maxie to convince Austin to return to Pautuck for Thanksgiving. Austin appeared, and he ushered Mason away from Maxie and Sasha. Off to the side, Mason gravely said that Maxie would do well to stay as far away from Austin as possible.

Later, Martin appeared at the hospital and told Sasha that he had an update from the judge on her guardianship.

In the kitchen of the Quartermaine mansion, Chase and Brook Lynn kissed. Brook Lynn steered the discussion toward her desire to have Chase become a singer in order to get revenge on Linc.

Ned appeared, and he and Chase chatted briefly about Holly. Brook Lynn took a call. Alone, Ned asked if Chase was happy. Chase shared that he enjoyed singing but that his true passion was being a cop. Chase vented his frustration that he was no longer on the force. Outside the mansion, Brook Lynn received an email from Dante that he’d promised to send as part of his effort to get Chase reinstated. Brook Lynn promptly deleted the email.

Brook Lynn reappeared in the kitchen, and she told Chase that Linc wanted Chase to do a duet with one of Linc’s rising female stars. An uneasy Chase hugged an ecstatic Brook Lynn.

In the lobby of the police station, Anna, Jordan, and Martin watched a video of Lucy’s shooting. The three were stunned to see that the person that had shot Lucy had the same face as Anna. A furious Martin called Anna a murderer, but Anna swore that she had been set up. Anna firmly believed that Victor had been behind Lucy’s disappearance, and she angrily marched into the interrogation room to confront him.

Victor swore he’d had nothing to do with Lucy’s disappearance, and he acted emotional when he was told that something had happened to Lucy. Anna became unhinged, and she tried to physically attack Victor. A police officer interceded, and he and Jordan escorted Anna out into the lobby. Jordan lectured Anna on the unprofessional appearance of her histrionics. Anna tried to return to the interrogation room, but Jordan refused to allow her.

In a voice message to Robert, Anna said that Victor had tried to frame her for Lucy’s disappearance. Martin returned with Arden, the assistant district attorney. Martin demanded that Anna be arrested for murder, and he showed Arden the video of the person who looked like Anna shooting Lucy. Anna was reeling that Martin could believe she was responsible for Lucy’s shooting. Martin recalled that Anna had tried to blackmail him, and he accused her of using people any way she had to.

After Jordan returned to the lobby, Arden told Jordan to tell Victor that he was free to leave. Arden then escorted Victor back into the lobby. Victor “learned” that Anna had been seen on the surveillance footage. Arden said that Jordan needed to recuse herself from the investigation into Lucy’s shooting due to Jordan’s close ties with Anna.

Jordan refused, but she agreed to follow the evidence and to pursue the matter to the fullest extent of the law if the person in the video turned out to be Anna. Arden apologized to Victor for the police having “wasted” his time. “All that matters is justice for Lucy. As the commissioner said, just follow the evidence,” Victor said direly.

In the parking lot of the PCPD, Anna searched her car for evidence that she had been framed. In the hatchback of her car, Anna was shocked to find a gun, which she picked up with a gloved hand.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: So there is more to the story of your years in L.A. Than you admitted.

Diane: Yes. And I-I realized that I — I can’t keep hiding it from you.

Jack: So tell me this shameful secret. What is it? What happened?

Diane: Well, while I lived there, tucker and I did cross paths.

Jack: I see.

Diane: But it wasn’t anything that I wanted or — or that i planned. But he — he found out things about me.

Jack: Like what?

Diane: Things that… I had to do to survive. Things I’m not proud of. But, jack, before I tell you, please, you have to believe me that I had no choice.

Tucker: Nikki? Hello? Ah, there she is. I’m so happy you called.

Nikki: Tucker.

Tucker: I hope this invitation means that you and i are — we’re on good terms. Like, we’re — there’s no grudges between us, no ill will between us.

Nikki: Well, that all depends on what happens going forward, since you seem to be staying in town for a while.

Tucker: I might, I might. I’m having a ball getting reacquainted with all the, um — what’d you call them? — The respectable families of genoa city? And then, of course, to be invited here to the ranch, to sit with the grand dame of the community, well, that’s — that means a lot.

Nikki: That title does not belong to me. There is only one grand dame of genoa city. Your mother.

Tucker: Ah, yes. The duchess. Yeah. Very respectable. Sorry. Did I offend you?

Nikki: No, no, not at all. But I’m afraid you have misunderstood my invitation. This is not a social call. We will not be having tea and chitchatting. There’s someone I want you to meet. Tucker mccall… talia morgan.

Tucker: Ah.

Lauren: So, hey, how is your new product line going? Marchetti home.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s great. I’m killing. You know, not that I mean to brag, but I am killing.

Lauren: You don’t mean to brag, but you will.

Phyllis: Yeah. I wish the other reason why i was at marchetti was going as well as the actual job.

Lauren: Uh, yeah, getting rid of diane? Don’t tell me that has stalled.

Phyllis: It’s stalled, but it’s progressing. I mean, kyle and summer, they’re in costa rica. Now is the best time to get diane out of here.

Lauren: Oh, are you sure about that?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, when they come home, they’ll be in such marital bliss, they won’t even notice she’s not around.

Lauren: I don’t know about that, because from what I’ve seen about kyle, he has fallen for his mother’s reinvention, and he has fully accepted her into his life.

Phyllis: Yeah, I know he has. I can dream.

Lauren: Yes, you can. But you know what? I want you to get rid of diane because she is a sore spot in my household, too. And you know me. I can hold a grudge like the best of them.

Phyllis: Oh, and you know what? I love that about you.

Lauren: Well, thank you. Thank you. It’s michael. Michael has too much empathy. He has too much understanding for the human frailty.

Phyllis: What is wrong with him? Seriously, she has done me so wrong. She fakes her own death, she made her son believe that she was dead. I mean, that’s not just human frailty. That’s evil.

Jack: All the times I asked if there was more to your story. How many openings did I give you to tell the truth? Other people accused you of terrible things. I defended you.

Diane: I know, I know. And I — I feel awful that I put you in that position. But please, jack, just hear what I have to say before you pass judgment.

Jack: You want me to hear more of your excuses?

Diane: No, I want you to hear the truth.

[ Sighs ] I arrived in L.A. With the world thinking that diane jenkins was dead. The first thing I needed was a new identity, and I was able to find someone who would help me create a new persona.

Jack: Oh, how convenient for you.

Diane: Jack, I had no choice. In order to start over, I needed to become someone else. And there are people who do that sort of thing.

Jack: Oh, yeah — criminals.

Diane: What they do is illegal. But I needed a new social security number and driver’s license and birth certificate.

And taylor jenson was born. Or should I say reborn? To get that kind of documentation, you clearly had to assume the life of a dead woman.

Diane: It was the only thing I could think of to resume my life — my new life. I didn’t want to break the law. Not then and not now.

Jack: Stop with the excuses. Tell me what you did. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18, 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.

Diane: Shortly after I got settled in L.A. As taylor jenson, I met a man. He was charming and attractive. His name was jeremy stark. He, um… he sensed something broken in me. And I didn’t tell him where I’d come from, just that I’d been involved in a series of bad relationships. Which wasn’t a lie. He didn’t press for details. He just wanted me to know that my life could be good again.

Diane: Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

Jeremy: You’ll learn that every afternoon in california is lovely. Even when it rains, it’s a lovely rain.

Diane: Oh, the stroll up the beach in venice, and watching the dolphins play… fabulous lunch in malibu was… it was perfect.

Jeremy: You deserve it. It’s a big place, and I can’t wait to explore the rest of it with you, taylor. Hey. What’s the matter?

Diane: Uh, it’s just… it’s just been so long since I’ve had a — a good day. It feels relaxing and invigorating all at the same time.

Jeremy: Whatever happened to you, it’s in the past. You have your whole life ahead of you. You need to enjoy it. And I’m that person that’s going to make it happen.

Diane: He was kind and gentle and — and thoughtful. You know, I was not looking for a serious relationship, but I fell hard.

[ Chuckles ] You know, anyone who knows me probably wouldn’t be surprised. I… he was a wealthy jetsetter. And I do have a type.

Jack: So, was he the man in the bentley?

Tucker: Yeah, I know, ms. Morgan. By reputation only.

Talia: Likewise. But I’d like to begin by asking you a few questions about your future plans.

Tucker: Sure. You can ask me anything you want. Got nothing to hide.

Nikki: Well, I know that journalists like to speak to their subjects in private, so I’ll leave you to it.

Talia: Shall we sit?

Tucker: Yeah.

Talia: So, now that you don’t have nikki newman to impress, maybe you can give me some real answers.

Tucker: Fire away. Just don’t ask about the rumor.

Talia: What rumor?

Tucker: Oh, there’s this nasty rumor going around that the real reason I came to town is to try to convince victor newman to build a rocket with me so we can launch ourselves into space. You know, it’s what billionaires are doing these days. But I probably should not have said anything, should I? Because you’re going to do an article with the headline “mccall and newman shoot themselves into space.”

Talia: You should be so lucky. You have history with the newman family, going head to head with victor in business and personally.

Tucker: That’s correct. That’s excellent research on your part.

Talia: So if there is bad blood between you and the family, why do you think nikki newman encouraged me to write a profile of you? And now please welcome ana montoya.

Tucker: Well, look, if you want to write about me, I’m happy to accept the free publicity. But you said you wanted to learn about my current plans. And the newmans do not even remotely enter into what I have going now, so, uh… they’re in the past. If you want to talk about the present, let’s do it.

Talia: Fair enough. So do you have answers regarding why you’re divesting and liquefying so many of your assets? Are you downsizing? Getting ready to retire? Or perhaps do you have a major move in the works?

Lauren: You know, I am just so surprised that jack seems to have accepted diane back into his life wholeheartedly like nothing has ever happened.

Phyllis: Well, he was taking kyle’s lead. I mean, but he’s accepted her back. He was. I think jack is seeing diane for who she really is. I mean, I don’t know. I just sense he’s being polite now, but he’s definitely holding back.

Lauren: Are you sure about that? She’s been trying to worm her way back into his life through kyle and harrison. They’re now working in the same building. She’s coming at him from all sides.

Phyllis: I know, I know. But before I came here, I overheard jack in his office, and he said that his doubts are starting to reignite regarding diane.

Lauren: Oh. That’s a step in the right direction. What brought that on?

Phyllis: Ashley.

[ Chuckles ] It seems that there’s a diane-tucker connection.

Lauren: What? I haven’t heard about this.

Phyllis: There’s a theory going around that the two of them were connected up in los angeles.

Lauren: Wow.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Lauren: And you subscribe to this theory?

Phyllis: For sure. For sure I do. I mean, it’s diane. I mean, ashley told this to jack. He thought it was a rumor. He brushed it off, but it definitely resonated. Now he has doubts about diane. I mean, we just need to give him a little nudge in the right direction.

Diane: Jeremy was an international financier. He flew around the world finding opportunities and making deals.

Jeremy: Well, I didn’t think the deal was going to close, but you are now looking at the third-largest distributor of automotive parts in eastern europe.

Diane: Wow! That must explain all the paparazzi outside.

[ Both laugh ]

Jeremy: I know, it doesn’t sound like much, but it’s huge.

Diane: No, no. Congratulations.

[ Glasses clink ] Between this and that australian land you acquired last week, you are on a roll. You’re going to spoil me with all this good champagne.

Jeremy: I hope so. Mmm.

Diane: Jeremy, what is this?

Jeremy: Open it and find out.

Diane: Oh, it’s — it’s lovely, but what is it?

Jeremy: It’s a private island. I’m going there tonight for a meeting, and I’d like you to join me there tomorrow.

Diane: Oh. That sounds amazing, but I — I can’t go on such short notice.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] Why not?

Diane: Oh, come on. I know the circles you travel in. I’m not prepared for that. I don’t — I don’t have anything to wear. And even my luggage is all beat up.

Jeremy: Oh, that doesn’t matter. You look fabulous as is, and you know that. But if you’re concerned, you can reach out to my assistant, francesca. Tell her what you need. She’ll do all the shopping. All you have to do is be ready for my car to pick you up at noon tomorrow.

Diane: It was a whirlwind. It was a fantasy come true. It was wonderful and romantic, and it was the first of many. He traveled a lot for business, and he would invite me to join him on these spur-of-the-moment trips. And he took care of all the arrangements.

Jack: Very generous of him.

Diane: Yeah. For, uh… for the first time, I felt taken care of. Like, um… like I had found something that had been missing in previous relationships. But, um, what I didn’t realize until it was too late… is that was his trick. Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Jack: I’m not sure i understand how showering someone with gifts and exotic travel is a trick.

Diane: I always flew alone. I met jeremy at the location. We never traveled together, and I didn’t think much of it at first. He said he wanted to get there early so he could get the boring business stuff out of the way so that we could enjoy ourselves.

Jack: And that wasn’t true?

Diane: Not exactly. It went on for months like this. Until I discovered that he was using me as a mule.

Jack: Wait. He had you smuggling drugs?

Diane: No, not drugs. Cash. Either his assistant or his driver would hide bundles of cash in my suitcases when I wasn’t looking. And then jeremy would remove them when we got to the location and deposit them in a local bank. Millions and millions of dollars, jack. He was sheltering illegal funds and using me to do it.

Jack: And you knew nothing about it?

Diane: You know what? I hear that skeptical tone in your voice, but, no, I didn’t know. I didn’t know until a trip to barbados. Jeremy was late meeting me at the airport, and I was just looking in my suitcase for something, and I saw stacks of 100-dollar bills, and I-I put them back. And later, when he thought I was taking a nap, I saw him remove them, and then I followed him to a bank. I realized what was happening. I was shocked… and devastated. But I waited until we were safely back in L.A. Before confronting him.

Jeremy: Going on a trip tomorrow. You up for it?

Diane: Where to?

Jeremy: Mm. Someplace special. I know you’ll enjoy it. I promise. Just be ready by 3:00.

Diane: Okay. I just have one question.

Jeremy: What is it?

Diane: How much cash do you plan to hide in my suitcase this time? Should I bring the carry-on or take two large suitcases? I — I just thought it would help if I knew so I could plan. I trusted you, jeremy. I even thought I was falling in love with you. But you’ve been using me as a money-laundering mule.

Jeremy: You’re overreacting, taylor. I’m sorry. The fantasy has been shattered. But this relationship does not have to end.

Diane: Yes, it does. It’s over. I’m not going to do your dirty work for you. You’ve been putting me in danger.

Jeremy: Calm down.

Diane: No.

Jeremy: I’ve invested a lot in you.

Diane: Oh, my god.

You’ve taken me on a couple of trips. That doesn’t buy you my loyalty to commit crimes for you. I won’t tell the authorities about you, but we are done.

Jeremy: We are not done. Social security numbers of dead people don’t come cheap.

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

Jeremy: The man who arranged your new identity? He works for. Now you do, too, diane jenkins.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jeremy: I can imagine that there are a lot of people who’d be very interested to know that you are alive and well. So, if you don’t want that kind of trouble, you’ll keep doing what you’ve been doing.

Diane: He was nothing but a con man. My meeting him wasn’t a coincidence. He never cared about me. It was just part of his system. You know, his — his way of recruiting people that he could control. He had all the leverage. He could expose my lies and tell the world that I was alive. Jack, I was trapped.

Lauren: Honey, I’m worried about you.

Phyllis: Why?

Lauren: Because if jack finds out that you are any way connected with diane’s downfall, this whole thing’s gonna backfire. He’s gonna be so angry. Especially considering what it could do to kyle.

Phyllis: Boo! I made my peace with that. I’m resigned to him being mad at me again. It is more important to me that my friend and my daughter know the truth about diane. It is more important to me that I am protecting them. Jack should thank me for being such a great friend.

Lauren: And you are sure this is the best way to handle it?

Phyllis: Yes, it’s the only way. Lauren, it’s the only way. Come on. If it keeps jack away from that she-devil and it keeps my daughter safe, this is the right thing.

Kyle: I think I still have sand in my hair. Can you check it for me?

Summer: Let’s see. Oh, yeah. You have sand everywhere. That shower did nothing. You’ve got some color on your face, too?

Kyle: I was worried the spf was too low and… ooh! I think you got a little too much sun.

Summer: Where?

Kyle: Right here. And… ooh, right here.

Summer: [ Laughs ]

Kyle: And right here.

Summer: Mmm. Was that supposed to help me with my sunburn?

Kyle: Mmm, I’m just trying to decide where I should rub some aloe vera. But if you don’t like it, then…

Summer: Oh, hey, wait. I didn’t say stop.

Kyle: Mm, mm-hmm.

Summer: I think you, uh — I think you missed a spot.

Kyle: Oh.

Summer: Right here.

Kyle: Oh. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Summer: And here.

Kyle: Oh, okay.

Summer: [ Laughs ] And right here.

Kyle: Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you still have symptoms of moderate

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Even though some

things are far away,

Jack: So how did you get out of his well-laid trap?

Diane: I guess you could call it fate. I continued carrying money out of the country for him. We — we continued the trips. You know, I-I pretended I was his lover, but I couldn’t stand to be in the same room with him. And then, one day, he demanded that we meet at our usual spot.

Diane: Why do we have to meet here? I mean, I’ll do the work, but can’t we quit the charade that we’re a couple, especially in L.A.?

Jeremy: Sit down. I’m about to be arrested.

Diane: How do you know?

Jeremy: A friend of mine tipped me off from the justice department.

Diane: Oh, my god. Do you know when this is gonna happen?

Could happen next week, could happen tomorrow… could happen before I finish this drink. Now, I don’t think you’re in danger because you’re a small fish. But they could use you to get to a bigger fish. That can’t happen. Do you understand? If they question you, you keep your mouth shut. Got it? I’ll do the same for you.

Diane: But what if —

[ Sirens approaching ]

Jeremy: Get out of here. Now!

Jack: Wow. Lucky you.

Diane: I didn’t feel lucky. I was terrified. His whole operation came to light in the investigation. The trial and the preparation took four years, and I was on pins and needles the whole time. I was — I was certain there would be a knock at my door and — and I would be implicated.

Jack: How were you not?

Diane: Well, the fact that we never flew together made it hard to connect us. But it was a huge wake-up call. I was determined after this experience to get my life on the right track. Jack… I need you to believe me. Everything I have told you about that part of my journey is true. I always… I always thought that, um… you know, a rich husband would solve all my problems. But after jeremy, I realized that’s just wrong, that I needed to take care of myself. And that’s what drove me to get the help I needed. I mean, I swore that — that if I got out of this mess that I would do everything in my power to reconnect with kyle, who I had missed every day. And that’s what kept me going for years.

Jack: And I guess I could assume by your being here a free woman that you managed to evade the law.

Diane: That’s right. Once jeremy was convicted and in prison, I was able to relax and focus on getting back to genoa city and getting back into kyle’s life. And that’s when tucker showed up.

Tucker: I wouldn’t read too much into my latest maneuvers. I’m buying and selling and investing and divesting all the time. The business world moves fast, and so do I. Are you sure I can’t get you something?

Talia: No, thanks. That is another non-answer.

Tucker: Ah. Okay. Um… let’s say I’m clearing a path.

Talia: To what?

Tucker: Who knows? Sometimes you just have to, uh…make room for whatever will be revealed.

Talia: Did you learn that at the ashram?

Tucker: I did. Very good.

[ Chuckles ] Excellent research on your part yet again.

Talia: So, what have you been doing since you left thailand? I know you spent some time in L.A. Did you have business there? Do you own a home? What do you enjoy doing when in town? My readers would love to know.

Tucker: Well, uh… I, uh — I go to the hollywood walk of fame and venice beach and the capitol records building and brown derby. All the hotspots, you know?

Talia: The brown derby has been closed for about 30 years.

Tucker: Is that right? Wow. That would explain the slow service.

Talia: All right. I have things to do. If you ever do get serious, I would love to interview you.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Wow. How quaint. Well, in this case, I’ll definitely be in touch. Take care. You can come out now, nikki. Would you like to explain what that was all about?

[School bells]

Diane: Tucker was the man in the bentley. That’s the one thing I lied to you about. We were connected in L.A., But it was just a random run-in.

Jack: When was this?

Diane: About six months before I started reaching out to you. Tucker recognized me immediately, and I was hoping he would drop it, but of course he didn’T.

Jack: That wouldn’t be his style, no.

Diane: No, not at all. He, um — he was able to connect the dots because he knew people who had done business with jeremy. And somehow he uncovered evidence of my crimes that the feds had overlooked. But he promised that he would keep quiet if we helped each other.

Jack: You were being blackmailed from two different directions.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: I’m almost afraid to ask. What did he want from you in return?

Diane: Tucker was considering a return to genoa city to rekindle things with ashley.

Jack: He’s a fool.

Diane: Yes, and he wanted a way in with the abbotts. And that’s when he found allie.

Jack: Wait. Tucker’s the one who discovered keemo and allie?

Diane: That’s right. He thought I could be of help to him here, so he offered me the information about the house as a way for me to reconnect with you and kyle.

Jack: And what was he expecting from you in return?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Well, he — he wanted me to keep tabs on ashley. You know, her romantic status, work, travel plans.

Jack: Wait. You originally came to town to spy on my sister?

Diane: No! No, jack. Ca– can’t you see the situation I was in? I had worked so hard to turn my life around — years and years of effort and — and therapy so that I could be with my son again. This was my chance. And — and I couldn’t risk tucker revealing that I was a lie before I had a chance to do it myself. I could’ve gone to jail. And then kyle would have found out that I’d faked my death without me being able to explain it to him. So I — so I agreed to help tucker. Okay? I sold all of the expensive gifts that jeremy had given me, and I used the money to buy keemo’s house. You know everything after that.

Summer: How good are our lives right now?

Kyle: Mm. Our lives are perfect.

Summer: [ Breathes deeply ] I have loved you for so long. We’ve known each other for what feels like forever, and… all that time, I haven’t known how we were going to end up together, but…it always felt inevitable.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ] It did. And now we have everything we could ever want. We have each other, harrison, family, work. Could it get any better?

Summer: I don’t know. We both had personal issues that we had to deal with before we came here. You with adam, me with my dad and sally.

Kyle: Yeah, minor bumps in the road. That stuff barely even bothers me anymore. It was perfectly fine, and I owe that to you and harrison. I know the two of you are in my corner, so nothing else matters.

Summer: That’s so sweet. But it’s not entirely true.

Kyle: What?

Summer: Kind of hurts me to say this, but… I feel like you never felt truly whole until diane came back. And it makes sense, right? The mother you thought you lost back in your life?

Kyle: Guess I hadn’t thought about it like that. But… having her around does make me feel more at peace. I think that’s because I finally have some answers. There’s not as much uncertainty. No more unfinished business.

Summer: Mm.

Kyle: I think I was always looking for something that was just out of reach or lurking in the shadows.

Summer: And you’re not anymore?

Kyle: Mnh. That’s why I can focus on all the positive things in my life.

Summer: Well, I’m glad it’s worked out because, to be honest, when she first showed up, I was afraid it was gonna be a real mess.

[ Both laugh ]

Kyle: I know you did. But thanks for giving her the space and time to prove herself. You were supportive but never dictated how I was supposed to feel about any of it. You let me figure it out on my own. You were awesome.

Summer: Were awesome? Did I stop being awesome?

Kyle: Oh. No, no, no, no.

Summer: [ Laughs ] Okay. I didn’t think so. I — I’m still awesome. And don’t ever forget it.

Kyle: Never.

Summer: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: I-I-I don’t even know what to say.

Diane: Jack, I — I was trapped, first by jeremy and then by tucker. I — I was forced to behave in ways that I would never do under normal circumstances. But it was — it was about survival. And I — and it was about my need as a mother to reconnect with my son. And I was willing to do whatever it took. Please tell me you understand. I am so sorry. But phyllis and nikki were determined to dig up dirt on me, and — and I knew that this would be discovered sooner or later. I just wanted you to hear it from me.

[ Knock on door, door opens ]

Phyllis: Hi. Uh, am I interrupting something? Is everything okay?

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: Did you expect me to believe that little song and dance there was for a real article, some puff piece about my future plans?

Nikki: What would I know about talia’s assignments?

Tucker: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. It’s funny — she was asking about my business in L.A., And it’s pretty common knowledge that most of my business is done internationally. But everyone seems very concerned about what I’m doing in los angeles. And by “everyone,” I mean you.

Nikki: I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

Tucker: Oh, nikki… I love a good cat-and-mouse game, especially with you. But I think it would be best if we just lay our cards on the table here. You and your friends have a theory that I’m somehow connected with diane jenkins. Right? So you’re siccing the reporter who did an exposé on her onto me.

Nikki: Out of respect for katherine, I want to treat you fairly.

Tucker: You sure have a funny way of showing it.

Nikki: I would like to think that you’re smart enough to avoid diane jenkins at all costs. Yet there is something in my head that tells me that there is a connection between the two of you. And you know what she did to me and my family. So you should certainly understand why I don’t want her in genoa city.

Tucker: But what does that have to do with me?

Nikki: If you are collaborating with her, I want to know why and what she is after. If she is planning to harm anybody that I care about, I will hold you personally responsible. Now, I would like to believe that if you knew something that would help me protect my loved ones, you would step up and give me the information.

Tucker: Yeah. I would really like to help, nikki, but… sorry, I can’T.

Jack: Everything is fine, phyllis. What is it you need at this exact moment?

Phyllis: Oh, it’s no hurry. None at all. Um, not important. I’ll come back at another time. Okay? Is everything okay, diane?

Diane: Yes, everything’s fine, just like jack said.

Jack: Well, I have an appointment I’m late for. We’ll continue this later.

Phyllis: I bet you’re looking forward to that. I don’t know what went down here… but it doesn’t seem too good for you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

so beautiful. Isn’t it? There’s no rush here. You just take as much time as you want. We can… …come back tomorrow if you want. No, it’s okay. I’m ready. My god! Hello, robert. Holly? It’s me. Is it really you? Don’t tell me I look so awful that you don’t even recognize me.

[ Exhales sharply ] It’s really you.

[ Exhales sharply ] You’re the most beautiful sight in the world! Sasha: No one matching lucy’s description was brought into the E.R. Yeah. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I don’t know. On the one hand, it means she’s not hurt. But where is she? Ever since I got that call last night, I’ve been worrying about her nonstop. Me too. Why would the police be looking for lucy? When I got the call from dante last night, he was being intentionally vague, giving me that whole “I can’t discuss an ongoing investigation” thing. He just wanted to know if I had heard from her. Hey. Hi. I got a weird text. What’s going on? Lucy’s missing. Is everything okay? I saw the patrol car out front. Well, willow found a woman in the boathouse. Well, that doesn’t sound creepy at all. Well, we were hoping it was lucy, since nobody’s heard from her since yesterday, but michael and willow were just here, and apparently it’s robert scorpio’s dead wife. I’m sorry. What? Just another day at the quartermaines’. I’ve missed you, too. But why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost? We all thought you were dead. Why on earth would anyone think that? Where have you been for the last two years, holly? This is so typical of anna devane. Everyone knows she’s made it her life’s work to send you to prison. Well, I’m counting on that. There’s lucy. She turns, reacts…

[ Two gunshots ] …And then she’s shot. By you. I wasn’t there. That screen says otherwise. That is you, is it not? But there is an obvious explanation. You’re a murderer. No, I’m being set up!


I don’t know. Everything is all mixed up. I was on a…boat, I think. I think I’d like you checked out for a concussion. No, I’m fine. Yeah. I’d like a doctor to tell me that. Shall we? How in the hell did holly sutton get into our boathouse? Your guess is as good as mine. Ambulance is on the way. -Ambulance? -Yeah. Ambulance. You know, hospitals, medical people, stuff like that. I just need some dry clothes and a shower. And a guy with “M.D.” After his name. Look, this is not negotiable, holly. Still as stubborn as ever. Look who’s talking. Uh, ms. Sutton, I’m detective falconeri with the pcpd. Do you know how you got to port charles? Your last known location was monte carlo. I honestly have no idea. G.H. — Now. Fine, but no ambulance. And, uh, where’s your car? Would you like to drive? Don’t be ridiculous. They drive on the wrong side in this country. If lucy’s brought in, I’ll let you know right away, okay? Thank you. You’re welcome. I can’t lose anyone else. Listen, it’s way too soon to be thinking like that, okay? Do we know anyone who’s tougher or more resilient than lucy? No. Right. She’s a survivor. We need to remember that and think positive. You’re right. Austin. Hey. I was looking for you. Mason. I didn’t know you were still in town. Oh. Sasha, this is mason, austin’s cousin from pautuck. Nice to meet you. Likewise. Hey, uh, why don’t you two head home, and I’ll let you know if there’s any change? I’ll give you the news. I’ll catch up with you later. The thought of going back to my apartment is… when was the last time you ate? I don’t know, but I’m really not that hungry. No, that’s not gonna work for me. We’re gonna find the cafeteria. You can’t be here. You keep saying that to me as if it’s my choice. We both know it’s not up to either one of us. I didn’t shoot lucy! We just watched you do it! That’s not me! The woman found at the quartermaine boathouse, it wasn’t lucy. Oh, no. Search and rescue was right. But if lucy is gone, it’s because you killed her! -Keep your voice down. -Why should I?! You’re a lawyer, martin. You, of all people, know that video footage can be altered. Ohh. It’s fake. It’s fake. Yeah, and of course you would say that. Do you really think that anna would shoot lucy at point-blank range? And then just stand here and watch a video of it? I think anna devane’s a lot more complicated, maybe even cold-blooded, than she gets credit for. And why not? She’s a trained wsb operative. I’m sure that “wrongfully accused” is the first song they teach you at spy school! Just stop. I know you’re upset. I am, too. But you need to take a breath. I would never do anything to hurt lucy! Do not tell me to calm down. The last time I saw lucy, she was storming off to confront you. Now you’re here and she’s not. So what happened on that pier, anna? What was it? She wouldn’t give you what you wanted? Or she threatened to turn things around, so you got rid of her? Don’t you see this is all victor? This is victor! Wait here. Roz: Finally! What did you do? Where is she?!

[ Gu[ Elevator bell dings ] For the last time, I don’t need a wheelchair. For the last time, I want a doctor to tell me that. And I think I found one. Hi. Can I help you somehow? Uh, yeah. This woman was found wandering the quartermaine grounds. Oh, now I’m “this woman”? And I wasn’t wandering. Then what were you doing there? I don’t know. Memory issues. I’m concerned that there might be… a bit of damage. Hmm. I don’t want to be examined. Why not? Because I’m scared. Hey. Look. I’m gonna be with you every step of the way. And if there’s something wrong or if there’s a problem, better that it happens in here. Yes, no? Yes. Right. Hello. Hi. I’m holly sutton. This is my mother’s favorite spot. Yeah? Yeah. She would sit here and watch me down below catching hermit crabs.

[ Laughs ] I see it. No, you can’T. Sure, I can! Little caroline, running around on the beach, not a care in the world. Yeah? Well, that much is true. Scrambling over the rocks. Little bucket. Did you ever try to take one of those crabs home as a pet? No. No, I always would show them to my mom, and she always acted so impressed and amazed. Oh. But then we would always put them back because she said this was their home. And then she would joke, saying that she… …might live here one day. And now she will. Now she will. This feels right. You know? It really feels right. I’m glad. Laying my mother to rest at the ocean. There’s nowhere she’d rather be. Where do you think holly came from? Did the coast guard find a boat nearby? I don’t know. Hi? Hi. That’s more like it. Less out there and more in here.

Capiche?

Capiche. So why couldn’t you talk this morning? I had an engagement with my niece. A.K.A. A tea party? Yep. Well, I hope violet realizes she was having tea with a rock star. Okay, okay. Let’s not go overboard here. No, that’s not an exaggeration. Have you been following your social-media accounts? No. No, not really. Does that mean my set at the savoy went well? Uh, it didn’t “go well.” The people loved it. Look, the video that I posted, it has over 100,000 views already. Wow. “Wow”? That’s it? Chase, this is huge! You’re gonna be the next big thing! So what’s happened? Oh, no. No. Please don’t tell me you found lucy’s body. Did you actually kill her? Watch your tone with my client. There’s no sign of lucy’s body in the harbor. Tell us where she is. I don’t know! You’re lying! We watched the footage. Yeah, your little show. I’m — I’m sorry… that was very smart of you to arrange for a drone to fly over the docks precisely… what?! No! Ms. Devane is sounding completely unhinged! Please, will someone tell me what’s going on here?! We have a video that shows what appears to be a woman firing a gun twice at lucy coe. Oh, my god. Oh, no. So it was lucy that was shot. Oh, my god. Stop! Oh, I was clinging onto some hope that maybe she’d be found alive. Stop… officer!


So… how you doing?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. Some days I feel like it’s gonna be okay, and others, I — I hang out at the hospital because I don’t want to be home without him. I remember that feeling. One of the worst parts about grief is that it’s not a straight line. It ebbs and flows. And, god, I just wanted an end date, you know, someone to tell me, “just make it to day whatever, and you’ll feel better.” That would be amazing. Yeah, it would. It’s unfortunate it doesn’t work like that. But I’m here for you, if you ever need to talk. Thank you, maxie. Oh. Excuse me. I’m sorry. I don’t want to interrupt. Um, I was hoping we could chat before I leave. I-I need a favor. So holly has zero memory of what happened? Mnh-mnh. She doesn’t even know how she got to the U.S. Chase, come here. Check this out. Look. What am I looking at? These are the comments from your latest performance. Look. “That voice, those eyes. I’m officially dead.”

[ Chuckles ] Look at this one. “Where can I get this song?” Reply — “never mind the song. Where can I get him?” Chase: Oh, wow. That’s embarrassing. What?! This is incredible! Look, we’ve got to release a single by the end of the week and an entire album by the end of the month. We got to give these people something to buy. Don’t worry. You’ll be able to perform live still. Man, do I miss that feeling — being in the spotlight, you know, in front of hundreds and thousands of people.

[ Cellphone rings ] Okay, I think this is the studio calling about the session I booked. I’ll be right back. Hi. This is brook lynn.

[ Footsteps depart ] Brook lynn’s, uh, really in her element. Brook lynn is having the time of her life. How about you? Hey. How’s holly? Gatlin-holt’s with her now. And how about you? How are you doing?

[ Door opens ] Oh, hey. Yeah, come on in. Hi. Uh, well?

[ Monitor beeping ] I think she’s great. Yeah. No — no double vision, no headaches. Mild case of hypothermia. Yeah, but this blanket’s doing the trick. Well, when’s she gonna be admitted? No, I’m not. I-I wasn’t asking you. How about this? How about I order an mri, and then when I get the results, we can discuss? That sound fair? Fair. Great. I’ll do that. So…

[ Door closes ] …Has anything come back to you? No, not yet. What’s the last thing you remember?

[ Sighs ] It’s all so foggy. Um… I was working for the wsb. Mm-hmm. And I was…investigating a casino in… monaco. Monte carlo. Hm. Yeah, ethan and I turned the place upside down looking for you. Ethan. How is he? Well, last I heard, he was pretty good. Mind you, he’ll be a lot better now that he knows his mother’s alive. I want to hear his voice. Well? I’m just realizing I have — I have no way of reaching him. On me. I’ll be outside. I got to talk to olivia about something. Okay?

[ Door closes ] Jordan: Let’s go. Thank you. You need to pull it together! Unless you want to be arrested for assault. I just couldn’t look at his smug face for one more second. You’re a professional. You know better. Cool down. Where do you think you’re going? In there. Unh-unh. After that little display? You’re out of this. Now. I want anna devane arrested! For? Did you not see what she just did to my client? Roz, not now. No. Now is not the time. A woman’s missing and might even be dead. The shooter was a female? It looked that way. But we still need to analyze the footage. Well, your tech experts are working on that, I assume. I — lucy’s attacker has to be identified! Robert. Hi. It’s me. You need to call me back as soon as you get this, because victor has made his move. He’s trying to frame me for lucy’s murder. No! Anna! Stop! That’s tampering with evidence. For god’s sake. Is this the surveillance footage? It is. Watch it. And have this woman arrested. For murder. Don’t get me wrong, I hate that we lost our fight to save the cemetery, but I think virginia would love being a part of the ocean that she loved so much. Two things can be true at the same time. Yes. I’m beginning to see that. Life. It’s quite the ride. I hate that my mother’s life was cut short, you know? I didn’t have the opportunity to say so many things that I’d want to say. Hey. It’s not too late. Say them now. You go ahead. I’ll be right here. Okay. Oh, virginia. You were a good mom. You were a great mom. And I’m so sorry that I didn’t always make you feel that way. I wish I could say this to your face.

[ Chuckles ] I wish you could know my kids. I wish you could be a part of our lives. But we can’t go back, no matter how bad we want to. I hope you’ve been at peace. And I hope you continue to be. I love you, mom.


So you’re alleging that I followed lucy all the way to a public pier, and then I shot her in full view of anyone who wanted to come by. And as you pointed out, I went to “spy school,” so surely I would have a more clandestine method to eliminate someone at my disposal. I basically put myself out there to get caught. Do you see that this doesn’t make any sense? I see the woman who blackmailed me, the same woman who, when I refused to spy for her, threatened to destroy my life. That’s a bit of an exaggeration. You use people, anna, any way you have to, to even the score in your own petty grudges. With people like you and victor, that gets dangerous real fast. And I should know. I watched my own brother do it for years. The stakes get a little too high, something goes wrong, someone like lucy gets in the way, and then you’ve got to get rid of the problem, permanently.

[ Door closes ] A.D.A. Arden. What’s going on here? Commissioner ashford, nice of you to join us. I was questioning a suspect. I heard. Now tell victor cassadine he’s free to go. How long did dr. Gatlin-holt say that the mri would take? He didn’T. You didn’t answer my question from before. How are you holding up through all this? You mean with my deceased ex-wife turning up alive and well? Yeah. That. Well, it’s a little overwhelming, but in a nice, warm, fuzzy way. It’s a miracle, robert. Now you are gonna get the chance to say all of the things that you didn’t think you’d have a chance to say. Hey. Austin. Uh, was wondering if I could get an update on holly sutton. Are you family? No. I’m not. Then you know I can’t tell you anything. Right. It’s f-for the investigation. I don’t need details or anything like that. I just — is she gonna get admitted or…? I’m recommending she stay for observation, but… okay. Can’t make a patient stay against her will. Right. What about that memory-loss thing? Anything to explain that? Oh, so much for no details. Ah, come on. Eh, there doesn’t seem to be any…physical reason for holly’s memory loss. Singing at the savoy was great. Connecting with the audience, getting lost in the music. I’m sensing a “but.” The whole time I was on stage, I was just waiting for it to be over. I enjoy singing. But it’s not your passion. I enjoy making people happy. And who doesn’t love a crowd cheering for them? But at the end of the day… it’s not making a real difference. Like you would be if you were on the force. Exactly. I want nothing more than to be a part of that investigation to find out who’s running around attacking people with a hook. I want to take that killer off the streets. Does brook lynn know about all this? Managing me means so much to her. And let’s be honest. I can’t be a cop right now. Which is entirely on me. I lost my cool, I punched linc, and now I am paying the price. And thank you for defending my daughter’s honor, by the way. No thanks needed. I regret the outcome. But, honestly, I can’t say that I wouldn’t do it again. Which is why the suspension is totally merited, but it doesn’t make me miss being a cop any less. God! It is pointless focusing on something that I can’t have. I need to focus on something that I can control. For brook lynn’s sake. Brook lynn: Sounds great. We’ll be there.

[ Cellphone chirps ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Beep ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hello, linc. What can I do for you? I’ll help you if I can. Um, what is it that you need? Talk some sense into austin. Can you convince him to come home to pautuck for thanksgiving? We miss him something fierce. Oh. I didn’t mean to take you away from your family. You’re not taking me away for anything. I’m exactly where I want to be. You’d be welcome, too, of course. And your kids. Um, georgie, james, and bailey, right? That’s impressive. Why don’t we talk about this later? Didn’t you say you have to be on the road? Always looking out, aren’t you? Yep. Think about turkey day. I will. Walk you out. Gobble, gobble! Interesting guy. Yeah… A.D.A. Arden, thank you for taking an interest in this case. As soon as I was made aware, I knew it required my attention. I got to get out of here. If victor set me up, which I believe he has, he’s not gonna have stopped at the drone footage, and there’s gonna be other false evidence out there against me. I know. Go. Thanks. Martin: Oh, no! No, no, no. There’s no way you’re gonna let her walk out of here. Agent devane isn’t under arrest. But don’t leave town. No. Understood. Oh, isn’t that sweet? You give all your friends preferential treatment? Or just the guilty ones? Wait, wait. Sorry. I-I’m not following. A-are you saying you think anna did something to lucy? I know she did. You can see her plain as day on that video. The commissioner failed to mention that. Commissioner ashford, since your judgment is clearly compromised by your relationship with ms. Devane, it’s my opinion that you be removed from this case. You okay? Yeah. I’m feeling… so many things. Mostly free. You know, I mean, when I think about that emergency landing in jacksonville, I was so frustrated because I just wanted to get to where I was going. And that’s exactly what happened, right? I mean, my mother needed me to be here. And I needed to be here for my mother. Divine intervention.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. It gave me closure with virginia. And it reminded me… of who I am… what’s important to me. My family. My friends. Hermit crabs. Hermit crabs.

[ Chuckles ] You.


I’ve been so focused on everything I’ve lost these past couple years. And it’s been a lot. But I’ve also gained something. What’s that? You. You dropped everything to help me. You slept on a really bad couch.

[ Laughs ] The couch. The couch was not so bad. Thank you for helping me. It meant so much to me. It meant just as much to me. I’m serious. Watching you face your past has made me take a good look at my own life. What did you see?

[ Indistinct conversations ] How’s the head? Still attached.

[ Both chuckle awkwardly ] Why don’t you give ethan a call? Maybe he’ll pick up now. Not exactly the kind of message you can leave on a — on a voicemail, is it? No. Uh, s-sorry. You — you are? Oh, I’m so sorry. Olivia quartermaine. I-I was at the boathouse earlier. That much I remember. I brought you some clothes for later when you get out of here, so… that’s really thoughtful. Thank you. There you go. Yeah. Of course. I got to tell you, it is — it is so wonderful to meet you. Although I feel like I already know you. Oh? Oh, ’cause I was — I was in monte carlo with — with robert and ethan when — when — when they were trying to find you. You should have seen what he went through to find you. It was really — I mean… well, I’ll let you tell her. But I got to tell you, it was really something else. You did all that for me? I don’t know why you’re so surprised. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. We did it! We’ve got him! Did what and got who? I knew this would work! I just knew it! Feel free to fill me in anytime. Linc called. He took the bait. Do not involve maxie in this. I’m not involving her.

You are. ‘Cause you’ve deluded yourself thinking that you can keep pautuck separate from your life here. You can’T. In all honesty, maxie and her kids would do better to just stay as far away from you as possible. I’m following the evidence without making assumptions. You saw the video. Can you say without question that the shooter is anna devane? Without question? No. Okay. So I’m sending the footage to I.T. They’ll do their best to determine if the video’s been altered in any way. Look, I think it might be worth mentioning at this point that whenever I was with lucy and anna’s name came up, lucy would get visibly uncomfortable. I agree. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now, well… I-I’m beginning to wonder if lucy might have been… afraid of anna? Add that to the evidence you’re “following.” Are you willing to make an official statement? Uh, yes, I-I suppose so. Does that mean you’ve changed your mind? If the person on the video proves to be anna devane, I will reassess. I can’t listen to any more of this. Until then, there’s nothing that links anna to lucy’s presumed death.

[ Beep ] Alright. Where would one plant evidence in my car?


The life that I came back to a year ago, that — that wasn’t the life that I-I left, and it took me a while to see it. But there’s beauty in that. And new beginnings. A new beginning for both of us. New beginnings can be scary. They can. But they can also be exciting and hopeful and… and full of possibility. I like the sound of that. So do I.

[ Both chuckle ] Is this okay? Yes. And you don’t have to ask me that ever again. Sasha: Mr. Grey? Ah. Sasha. Hi. I didn’t realize you were back in town. Yeah.Have you heard from lucy? No, nothing. And I’m not gonna give up until they find her. Uh, I was actually gonna check in with the E.R. You know, I know it’s futile, but, uh… better than sitting around waiting. Yeah. So, my young friend, how are you holding up? I am taking it day by day. It’s hard to think beyond that. Yeah. I heard from the judge. I have an update on your future. Right after I got off the phone with the studio, linc called. He said that he wants you to do a duet with one of his rising stars. I’ve actually heard her. She’s pretty good. And she’s got a pretty big following. And I think I have the perfect song for you two to sing together. Look, this will be a huge boost for your career. And one step closer to exposing linc for the predator that he is. Right! That, too. It’s really happening. Yeah. I’d like to change into these clothes now. You won’t be needing them, because you’re gonna stay here for observation. Uh, no, I’m not. Uh, I think that I will leave this between the two of you.

[ Chuckles ] Dr. Gatlin-holt said I’m fine. Dr. Gatlin-holt never said anything remotely like that. Or i will be once I’ve had a long bath and a decent meal, neither of which I’ll get here. I’m not gonna win this one, am I? Robert. Do you ever win with me? Anyway, I assume that the metro court is still around? It is. Perfect. I need a full english breakfast and some tea, preferably with some whiskey in it. I’m very sorry the police wasted your valuable time. Oh, look, all that matters is justice for lucy. As the commissioner said, just follow the evidence.

[ Suspenseful chord strikes ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey there. How about some lunch? Oh, I’d love to, but I have a shoot this afternoon. Oh, I thought you were still taking some time off. Well, I would, but mom and the girls are doing much better. That serum is actually working like gangbusters and I’m back at work, so I’m speaking the Devil . I should probably do away with that saying here and saying Home, but it’s from basic black corporate.

What?

I just got fired.

Oh, no, I’m late. I’m, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. No, no. It’s, it’s okay. I, I assumed you and Brady were gonna have a late night at the hospital, but hey, you know what? Good news about the cure for Marle and the others. Yeah, no, it’s, it’s such a relief and I’m, I’m assuming, I’m assuming Brady had a late night. It wasn’t with me.

He dumped me.

Hey dude. Hey dad. I just have to pick up some patient files for Doc and then I’m outta here. God forbid she should take off one day from work while she’s recovering. That doesn’t surprise me a bit. Well, I tell you, that serum suddenly appearing, that was surprising. Not to mention damn lucky for us. Yeah, yeah.

No, we, we, we got lucky on that one.

everything alright. Yeah, yeah. No, the fact that, I mean all, all three women. You know, feeling better and seemingly cured. I mean, it’s, it’s the best news ever. It really is. Yeah. So why are you trying to fool your old man? Because there’s something you’re not saying here. What’s, uh, what’s going on? What’s eating at you

to your health? Ladies, you’re welcome. Hmm. And little, do you know what your miraculous recovery is giving me?

Yes. Yes, Yes. I need you to be straight with me. Kristin. Did you mess with my brain?

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

You broke up with Chloe. I I don’t understand that. It’s not about Chloe. Yeah. What’s it about? It’s about Rachel. All right. I, I understand that she blames Chloe for not letting her see Kristen, but come on, kid. That can’t be you. Well, it is, it is. Dad. I can’t put that little, little girl through much more. I mean, I look at that little heartbroken look on her face, think about what she’s been through.

I know it’s not fair to Chloe and the way I did, but. Rachel comes first, right? Yeah. Yeah. I, I get all of that. It’s just so out of the blue. I mean, last I heard you were gonna sit Rachel down, you were gonna talk to her and try to get her understand, and you were hopeful that eventually she would come around.

So what the hell happened to make you stop all that to suddenly just take such a drastic step? After you break it off with Chloe, you reconcile with me and you and I and Rachel become a loving family. And don’t you dare think you can just turn around and dump me after they’re all cured. You see wolf?

Said that they’re all going to need a second dose in a few months and then maybe a booster after of that, and I am the only one that can see to it that they all get it. You and I are in long haul, Brady. That it was only sudden to you because you’ve been preoccupied. Oh, don’t I know it. I just hate to see you just, just throw away something so great here when you thoroughly haven’t thought this through.

Well, that, that, that’s where you robbed that. I’ve thought it through. I just don’t have a choice.

I think you’re pardon. Okay. Don’t get me wrong, Kristin. I am. To you for everything that you have done for me, everything you did to bring me back. But it’s Gabby, it’s my feelings for her. It’s almost as if something was done to my brain before I was revived and you were there, which is why I am asking you, Kristin, why do I hate Gabby so much?

Come on, RAVs, fill the team we had. Go on. I, um, walked in on her comforting, air, comforting. It was a, it was a hug. Gay was, it was completely understandable. Given the circumstances. They’ve always been close. Eric’s mom, and she’s really sick, right? And their marriage. It didn’t end the way that she wanted or the way that that he wanted.

And you know, so it was, it was, you know, kind of dramatic and sudden. Yeah. You know, mayor attending is never ideal, Rafe. Exactly, yes. So it is completely understandable that they still have these unresolved feelings. Yeah. In the meantime, you just got more and more frustrated. Yeah. Yeah, I did. Which I guess that’s why I, uh, exploded and I rant like a kind of stream of consciousness.

Um, Yeah. Like I’m the one you’re married to. He’s not your husband, I’m your husband, blah, blah, blah. And since that went over so well, you slept here. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, um, you’re not where you’re supposed to be. Hmm. Yeah, tell me about it. No, no. Wherever Nicole is, that’s where you should be trying to fix this together.

Brady wants to be a good father, obviously, so he’s, I put Rachel first and he’s as upset as I am, but he keeps saying he doesn’t have a. I just can’t believe Kristin is using her daughter like this things, things were so good for braiding me this time around and it happened so quickly and it was great and it ended just as quickly.

Chloe, I am so sorry. I mean I’ve, I know what it’s like because I think I might be, And it’s my own damn fault. Fired. Why? What does it say? It doesn’t really, it’s, it’s all we regret to inform you that your services are no longer required. Unfortunate situation for all involved. Budgetary restraints mandated downsizing.

But that, that doesn’t make any sense. They just hired you, man. I agree with you. But EJ DeMar, he just took over the parent company this morning, so I’m sure he had something to do with it. Is the email from him? No,

it’s from Nicole.

No, no, that’s, Yeah, I think that that’s a, it’s a bad idea cause if I go home, Nicole and I can end up getting it around to, and then we both end up losing. The problem is I let this go on for too long. It’s my fault. No, no. You were being patient. Right. If you were hoping things would change, you were hoping that you were overreacting and you were giving Nicole the benefit of the doubt, which is what Lee’s been doing with me.

You mean since Stephan came back. Right. Um, but it’s, it’s mot now. Anyway, Stephan served me divorce papers this morning, so if there was anything lingering in, in my mind at least, it’s definitely long gone and I love Lee. Yeah, I’m sorry. No, that must have been tough. I mean, the last thing I expected was to see stuff in alive again, but for him to be alive and hating me, but I, you know, I just, I, I need to get over, I need to accept the fact that the person that I loved with all my heart, the one that I thought loved, Back the exact same way, just actually finds me repulsive and he’s disgusted by me.

But you know what? Do you know what that is? It’s crazy. Come on man. Look at you sis. You’re beautiful. You’re successful, you’re smart, You’re, you’re Charma. I mean, you have all these things. No, you know. No, he’s crazy. He was damn lucky to have had you. Okay. . He has spoken like a loyal brother. Well spoken like someone who knows.

What a catch you. Yeah, well, I, um, thank you. But, um, I’ve accepted the fact that it’s never gonna work out for me and Stephan, but, you know, I just wish what I, I just can’t get rid of this nagging feeling that, that quack wolf did something to stuff and something to make him feel this way. But, uh, Wolf, Bird himself, underground, like the rat he is, and well, I can’t find him, Can’t track him down to confront him about it.

Gabby, I can tell you where to find him.

Thumbs he cops and in there intrusive search warrants, walking thumbs if you ask me. Jim Li and Dexterously deficient. It’s quite the mess. Thanks there. Those fools in blue all. I may have a solution for you. And what would that be? Leave it the way it is. I don’t mean to offend, sir, but have you lost your damn mind?

What you need is a new lab, clean and orderly state of the art. Oh, what a wonderful idea. Shall I write to Santa Claus? Ho, ho ho. A new love gleaming. Brand Spanking, new outfitted with everything your bad little heart could desire. Right down to the last test tube. I would like to see this place actually.

So a little more involved than jumping in the car and chanting over. How far are we talking? Exactly? How about 10,000 miles? I was actually shocked. You know, I just never seen Ray so upset and so angry. I’m so sorry. No, he didn’t even return my calls or my texts. And now Chloe, I I, I can’t stop thinking about that day.

I, I woke up when I had that dream about Eric, The sex dream. Yes. That one. No, I just, I couldn’t, I couldn’t stop myself. I couldn’t stay away. No, I, I had to go see him and just my luck, Jada was there. I lied, of course, about why I was there, and then the lie just kept going. You know, my reaction to that dream and all the feelings, it stirred up.

That is the sole reason Eric ended up working here,

but now that’s taken care of,

fired by. It’s classy. Hmm. Well, at least it wasn’t a text. Yeah. Well, maybe EJ forced her hand. Maybe it wasn’t about budget after all. Or maybe, maybe it’s just, you know, I’ve been outta the game for a while. Maybe I’m just not, not good anymore. All right. Look, if I did, if I did come to you and say that I wanted to hire Eric, what would you have said?

I would’ve said, It’s a terrible idea, Nicole. Why? Because there is no way in hell I want Eric working together with my wife, Jada. What is it? I, I think I know why this happened.

What? What do you mean? How? How could you know? Okay. Remember last night at the hospital and you asked me to go to the pub to let your father know about the serum? Mm-hmm. . Well, when I got there, brave and Nicole were outside and they were arguing. I didn’t mean to ease drop, but I was kind of stuck. If I would’ve went inside, they would’ve saw me.

So I just stayed where I was at a sight and I ended up catching the tail end of their fight. So what were Nicole and Ray arguing about?

You

wait. Oh my God. Right. You know where. Yeah, we rated his secret lab the other day. We suspected that he had the serum that could cure Kate, Kayla, and Marlena. But we didn’t find the serum, but we did find Ralph. So if I were looking for him, that’s where I’d start. I’m gonna go right now. Now hold on a second.

You want to go? I’m gonna send a uniform with you. Let guys Dangerous. Not afraid of that nutty old creep. No, I don’t. I don’t need an escort, but,

A what I, I just want answers since the minute that Stephan showed up and rejected me, Reef, I’m kinda overwhelmed thinking that I, I might get the truth.

Ah, s Stephen, I’m not your enemy. You are my brother and I love. And if I can help you, I will. But I mean, even if I could manipulate your feelings for Gabby, why would I wanna do that? I mean, she and I were allies when I backed her against EJ at the company. So if you two were together, I would love that.

I’d be happy for you. Hmm.

Does that make sense?

So maybe I’ve been thinking about this the wrong way. Maybe. No, obviously you’re not anti gammy, right? Maybe you’re just pro chloey.

You had no choice but to break things off. The Chloe’s son. There is always a choice. No, I know. I know that I. I didn’t mean for it to come out the way it did. That came out very angry and very abruptly. I’m sorry, I’m, I’m obviously, my emotions are a little hot on this topic right now, but what I meant to say was, when it comes to your children’s welfare, you do what’s best for them, right?

No matter what end of story. That’s it. No matter what the cost to you personally, or even if it’s a deep emotional cost, you stick by your kid. You do what you need to do for your kid, right? You’re a dad, you get it. You’re a great. Am I right?

Yeah, of course. And I respect your, your, your decision, your devotion to your daughter. I’m just sorry to see Chloe go.

Wait, so you, you fired him in an. Were there no carrier pigeons available. Okay. I took the easy way out. I know. I didn’t even give Eric a reason why I let him go. I just made up some stuff about budget cuts and downsizing. Oh no. But it was the right thing to do. I mean, Ray was so upset about Eric and he was so brutally honest about it.

I didn’t have a. What, why, why are you looking at me like that? I, I, I’m just wondering why did you really fire Eric? Did I not just explain that? I sort of, But is it because you’re feeling guilty about lying to ra or is there more or more, More meaning, do you wanna get back on track with ra? Do you want your marriage to.

I’d like to know the answer to that myself.

So this is all about something that RA said Rafe was upset about Nicole hiring you, and he said it was a terrible idea and that he wished that she would’ve talked to him about it so that he could tell her. So he is jealous of me. Of Nicole’s feelings for you. Yeah.

So she fired me. This save marriage.

I should look at you two talk.

I’m glad you’re here. Very glad this, this is so hard. I, I, I don’t even know where to start. Okay. Well then let me please,

I’m sorry. I am, I lost my temper and I said things that I shouldn’t have said. I should be the one apologizing. I pushed back on everything you said last night, and I wasn’t listening, and I didn’t understand your feelings. Listen, I, I just wanted to let you know where I was emotionally. I, um,

I said things that I shouldn’t have said and, and just that’s not how I wanted to handle it. Don’t blame yourself. I, I was unfair to you. It’s too much to ask. You know, me still being so close to Eric and Jada is his girlfriend and it’s her place to console him if things go bad or get bad for him. I mean, it’s not mine, right?

And he doesn’t need me to employ him.

But I am, I want you to know, I heard you loud and clear last night. You said that Eric working here was a terrible idea. Yeah. So I, I did something about it. What? I fired Eric. Oh, you shouldn’t have done that.

I shouldn’t have pushed you so hard about Chloe. That’s, that’s, that’s your business. I’m gonna just pick up this stuff for Dr. Do you need help with that? I can help you. No, no. I’m good kid. Thanks.

Hey, you know, I know that you don’t need me or anybody else twisting your arm to do what you think is right. Thank you

that Marla. She’s, she’s, she’s, she’s doing good, right? It’s working. She’s getting better. Kate and Kayla. It’s a miracle. No other word for it. I’m so glad. I mean, that’s the best news ever. Yeah. Somebody up there likes us, or. Doc, but a wood beats me . But in reality, we both know that that serum didn’t just drop from the heavens.

No, it didn’t. I don’t know if it came from Dr. Ralph or somebody else. It came from somebody else. I don’t have a clue who that is, but you know what? I’m not gonna look at gift twice in the. I just need to be sure that serum’s gonna keep working here. It’s gonna gimme my peace of mind. Absolutely, Dad. In the meantime, I’m just gonna stay optimistic that I know your feeling a bit skeptical about it, but my gut tells me that if everything’s gonna be just fine, That serum is working.

Doesn’t matter where it came from. That’s what we need to hold onto

Jakarta. You’re going to love it. Trust me. You’re just trying to get rid of me. We both stand to gain from this wolf, Dr. Wolf, and I don’t see what I stand to gain from ex. The police already suspect you to be linked to the disease that struck those women down. Take a look around Salem’s. No place for you to be right now.

Fair enough. I don’t like it, but I see your point. Good. How long will it take for you to get your things together? My most important work is kept off. It is simple. Much. I need to pack up here. All right, then you’re private jet waits. I still feel like I’m running. That’s because you are doctor, but there’s no shame in it and the police are not your only concern.

Gabby’s trying to find you. She wants to know if you brainwash Stephan into hating her, you may not. Under the police lights, but Gabby’s a whole other beast. You don’t want that. I certainly don’t, and neither does. Kristen,

it’s interesting you think that I did terrible mind altering things to you. You know, I spent all this money, time, and effort to play match. For Chloe to play Matchmaker for Brady in you Christian, it’s no secret. You have an obsession with Brady and Chloe was in the way, and I then miraculously coincidentally, wake up from this four year long nap.

With this intense disgust for Gabby and an equally as intense longing for Chloe. So, yes, that’s the only way I can explain it. Right. You know, I can’t speak to your feelings. So you think that I needed to, uh, have you want Chloe so that I could get to Brady? Yes, it makes sense. Except for one detail when that obviously escaped your attention.

Brady and Chloe are no more. Stephan, they broke up. No thanks to me. So. Well, they’re, in other words, she’s free, free.

Call me from the hospital with any updates. You got it yet?

Whoa. Hi, Chloe. John, I’m, I’m sorry, my interrupt. No, no, not at all. I’m just heading back to the hospital. Oh. How’s everything going over there? Fine. Thanks for asking. Getting better minute by minute. In fact, I don’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if that serum hadn. Dropped from. Well, I’m so happy for you.

It’s good to see you. Good to see.

Stuff in you. Okay. I didn’t mean to pull the rug out for, How do you know this? Where did you find this out? The good news travels fast in Salem. It just proves my point. Chloe and Brady were a ticking time. Look, I know, I know that you’re still unsettled, but part of it I’m sure has to do with this wonderful news about Chloe.

I can imagine that you still have some lingering doubts about your feelings before the four years when you were gone versus now, here’s my theory. See, in the back of your head, you had four years to resolve your conflicting feelings towards Chloe and Gabby, and then you woke up with this new sense of.

Yeah, you finally figured it all out and now you’re finally going after what you truly want. Yeah, I mean, this is just my opinion, Stephan. I mean, you can trust me, but um, I would trust your gut, right.

Sorry for bursting in here like this. You should really get going. Of course,

about.

Sorry little brother. I do feel a little bad for you, but I don’t need you to come between Brady and Chloe anymore. I guess it’s better safe than sorry. Leaving is the best option. Better safe than sorry. Yes. I’m not intimidated by Ms. Hernandez, unlike you. I can handle her . You’re a genius, Dr. Wolf and an idiot, Gabby’s a lion.

This she get the truth out of you in two seconds. She’s that formidable. So please stop fighting. Shak Carter’s lovely this time of year, and it has the added benefit of being out of the jurisdiction of the other Hernandez in your way. Gabby’s older brother, police commissioner.

I’ll need a little time to get my things in order. Good. I’ll send a car to take you to the airport. You’re doing the right thing.

I don’t understand. I, I thought I did the right thing. Right? Yeah. I mean, obviously we’re supposed to be partner. This isn’t a good patch that we’re in. I don’t know what happens next, but I do know that I don’t want you to fire Eric on account of me. I don’t just, I don’t want that on my shoulders. Okay, well, Kathryn, what do you want?

I did what I did to help fix us, but it hasn’t obviously, so.

So what’s the next step? Where do we stand?

Pleases Rafe, Just tell me what I can do. Tell me what you.

I want us to be. Okay.

So do I. But after last night, is that even possible? I mean, you didn’t even come home. No, I know, I know, I know. And I’m sorry. Okay. I was, I was just worried if I did then, uh, I was just gonna make things.

Or maybe coulda worked things out and had incredible makeup sex. Oh my. Why didn’t I think of that? What I do know is that I missed you so much. I missed you too.

Oh, sorry.

It’s the station I gotta get down there. When I see you tonight, I will be there.

Promise.

Um,

I know you feel bad for sharing what you overheard, but thank. I’m glad to know. It looks like I’m not going to shoot After all. My afternoon is gonna be free, so if you’d like, we can have a lunch here. Work on my resume. . Well, actually my lunch break’s just about over. I’m sorry, I talked cheer off. No, don’t be, But listen, I gotta hit back some station, but how about dinner?

Great, Nate. Okay, but you have to pay

Wait, what are you doing here? Uh, yeah, I’m, I’m sorry. I won’t, I won’t be long. I just, um, I love some things in your bedroom. Oh, yeah, yeah. I’m sorry. You can go, go, go ahead. You can.

Chloe.

Hey. Hey. I’m sorry. I, I feel, I feel really terrible. You know that, right? Well, yeah. That makes it two of us. But I know why you did what you did. Okay.

Got a minute, boss. Sure. What’s up? Uh, this is kind of awkward, but, uh, I accidentally heard some of the fight between you and Nicole last night. Huh? I see. Yeah. Uh, yeah. Not my best moment. And, uh, Sorry you had to hear that. Yeah, I, I really did not mean to overhear, um, I just felt that you should know that I also told Eric what I heard.

Oh, really? Okay. Well, surprised to hear you say that. Well, I was with Eric and he got an email from Nicole and he got fired. He was, he was so confused and, and I just didn’t know how to help him, so I just felt that he should know, Hey, Dave, don’t worry about it. It’s okay. All right. It’s, uh, everything’s gonna gonna work out fine.

Okay? It’s just, um, You know what I, I want you to know that I never told Nicole to fire Eric. In fact, I told her that it was a mistake and she should, she should rehire, You know, I gotta be able to trust my wife.

Cole, I was hoping you were here. Well, I’m not at work. Right. Um, anyway, I, I just, I wanted to explain the email I wrote earlier, even though it says that we’re reassessing the budget and mm-hmm. and making cuts. I know that’s not the reason why you fired. I know it’s about your marriage.

What are you doing here? No, we talked about this. I just broke up with Chloe last night. Okay. You only got, I need some more time. Dammit. To what? Get over her. I helped you dodge a bullet Brady, so the sooner you realize that, the better. Hello? Chloe? Uh, Brady,

What is this? I guess you didn’t have the chance to tell you I’m moving it.

[Door closing]

Thomas: Steffy? I’m here.

Steffy: O– okay. Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Steffy: Is everything okay?

Thomas: Yeah, it’s just half the time I walk in, finn’s got his shirt off and you’re all making out and stuff. Just wanted to forewarn.

Steffy: Good to know. Thanks. I mean, I can’t help it. But just you wait. Wait till you have a girlfriend. I walk in on you, that’s gonna be super weird. Yeah, whatever. Why don’t you actually have a girlfriend? What’s going on? I want to know about your dating life.

Thomas: Uh, there’s not really anything to talk about.

Steffy: Uh-huh?

Thomas: Not seeing anyone right now. Outside of work, I’m just focused on my son.

Hope: So, ridge is coming home from aspen today?

Brooke: He’ll be landing anytime.

Hope: Well, I think it’s a good sign that he texted you.

Brooke: Yeah, but he’s not coming home alone. He’s been with taylor this whole time. They’re flying back to L.A., Together.

Katie: Well, thanks a lot, justin. You just made my life a whole lot more difficult. I didn’t think I’d be able to secure this deal. Now I’ve got to come up with a strategy.

Justin: [Chuckling] Well, I’m glad I could be the cause of more work. That means that you’re starting to trust me a bit.

Katie: Don’t push it.

Justin: Okay, I know. I have a lot to make up for.

Katie: Carter says you’ve been doing a lot of great work around here.

Justin: Thanks. Uh, this place is refreshing. Inspiring. It’s a lot of positive energy.

Katie: Did justin barber just talk about positive energy?

Justin: See, what can I say? I like it here. I’m using my law degree for something good. Helping people out while not tearing others down. But I must say, if you look at that deal, a lot of that work was carter. Those signatures, that’s all him. Speaking of, I actually have some forms that I need to get your wet signatures on. Do you mind if I come right back?

Katie: Yeah, of course.

Justin: All right.

Katie: Hey, justin, um… I like seeing you like this.

Justin: Thank you.

Katie: There are plenty

of people around here who think

that you’re amazing, carter.

Carter: Like who?

Carter: What are you plotting in here?

[ Giggling ]

Katie: Well, although I probably shouldn’t admit this to the C.O.O., I was, um, just daydreaming.

Carter: Hm. Depends on what you were daydreaming about.

[ Giggling ]

Carter: Well, I don’t want to distract you from your work.

Katie: Well, you’d be on my mind whether you were here or not.

Carter: Is that so?

Katie: You haven’t been thinking about me?

Carter: I might have asked pam to text me when you got done with your meeting.

Katie: Well, that explains the look she gave me. I thought it might have something to do with my sister.

Carter: How is she?

Katie: She’s heartbroken. She thought her marriage to ridge was solid and, all of a sudden, he’s leaving her. She can’t even say why.

Brooke: I just want some answers. I need ridge to come home and explain to me what happened. I– I have no idea what happened. So, our marriage is over, and he’s suddenly with taylor? Why? And how? What’s going on?

Hope: Ridge said he’s coming over, right? So, that could be good.

Brooke: Uh, yes. Yes, I suppose it could be. But, what if I can’t get through to him? I– I– I don’t know what else to do. And if I can’t, then our marriage could really be over.

Steffy: I think it’s really great you’re enjoying this time with douglas.

Thomas: You’re not gonna give me a hard time about not dating?

Steffy: No. I’m too happy to give you a hard time.

Thomas: That’s a once in a lifetime thing.

[ Car door thudding ]

Thomas: Car door. They’re here.

Steffy: Can you not on my coffee table?

Thomas: They’ll never– shh.

Steffy: What are you doing?

Thomas: They’ll never know.

Taylor: Hello!

Ridge: Hey, hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Thomas: Hey, you’re– you’re back.

Taylor: And– and back together?

Thomas: I know. Hah!

Steffy: What!

[ Laughing ]

[ Incoherent chatter ]

Thomas: Mom!

Taylor: I see you! I see you! Ah!

[ Laughing ]

Thomas: I almost don’t believe it.

Steffy: You gotta believe it. We’re finally back together.

Steffy: Forresters. The way we always wanted.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: Oh, this is amazing.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Katie: These ad buys are going to completely round out our full saturation approach. Thank you both very much.

Justin & carter: All in a day’s work.

Carter: Okay, let’s never do that again.

Justin: Please, never.

Katie: All right, here you go.

Justin: All right. We’re all set. So, I’ll let you get back to it. Oh, and, uh, by the way, um, sorry to hear, word is getting around about brooke and ridge.

Katie: Yeah, well, I feel bad for my sister. I’m just hoping they can figure things out.

Carter: You’re a loving, loyal sister, katie.

Katie: Well, I know how much ridge means to brooke and how hard they’ve fought for each other and their marriage. But until she talks to him, all I can do is worry, and I know she wouldn’t want me to do that. She would want me to be positive.

Carter: And maybe I can help.

Katie: You already have. Is that why you were looking for me? You thought I might need some cheering up?

Carter: Or I do. You gave me quite the ego boost the other day. You said I looked like a trout.

[ Laughing ]

Carter: I just had no idea you, um… felt that way about me.

[ Laughing ]

Katie: I find that hard to believe.

Carter: It’s true.

Katie: Well, does that mean you’ve never thought about me?

Carter: You were with bill.

Katie: Not anymore.

Carter: Till quinn bailed on me, I thought I had something solid with her. But now–

Katie: Now you’re free to start something else.

Brooke: Oh, honey, you don’t have to wait around.

Hope: You need me. I’m here.

Brooke: Thank you. Actually, I would probably be driving myself absolutely crazy if you weren’t here. I still have so many questions.

Hope: So, ridge didn’t give you any sort of clue as to why he is now with taylor?

Brooke: No. I mean, yeah, there was that kiss in monaco that they had, but ridge explained that. He said he didn’t want that to impact our relationship.

Hope: Well, I know thomas and steffy took it as a sign that their parents should be together.

Brooke: Yeah. Steffy made sure that everybody knew, she wouldn’t let up, that’s for sure.

Hope: But I thought that ridge made it clear to her that he was committed to you.

Brooke: Yeah, he didn’T. He told me the same thing. And I actually believed him. I was just not gonna let anything or anybody come between us. Not steffy, not taylor, not the situation with thomas and douglas. Yeah, sure, sure, we were struggling a little bit, but we were working our way through things. And actually, we were in a good place.

Hope: But thomas, steffy and taylor weren’t going to accept that, so they drove a wedge between the two of you.

Brooke: And I really hate to say it, but I think that maybe it worked.

[ Forresters laughing ]

Steffy: Here you go. That’s for mom.

Taylor: Thank you.

Steffy: Love birds.

Ridge: Thank you.

Thomsa: You know, dad, if you have, uh, some luggage, I can– I can bring yours down, too.

Steffy: Yeah, we can bring the bags up to mom’s room. We could do that. Yeah, we should do that.

Taylor: You don’t need to fuss over us. Stop.

Thomas: Come on, we would do anything for you guys.

Steffy: Yeah, we should be doing more. You know what we should do? When the kids get home, we should have a barbecue.

Ridge: When the kids get home? They’re not gettin’ out?

Steffy: They’re not here yet. They’re very excited to do, like, an elaborate tea party for you. It’s really cute.

Thomas: You know, seeing you guys together, this is just, like… it’s so amazing.

Taylor: All feels right in the world now, you know? Us. We’re back together. And our beautiful, amazing, brilliant, wonderful kids are finally off our back.

[ Ridge gasping ]

[ Laughing]

Taylor: No, really. No, really. It’s– this is– this is everything I’ve– I’ve ever wanted. For all of us.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Carter: You know, we used to spend a lot of time together.

Katie: We used to do a lot of talking about bill and quinn. I don’t wanna do that anymore.

Carter: No argument here.

Katie: I do have one more question, though.

Carter: Yes, she’s really gone. And after speaking with shauna, I don’t think she’s ever coming back.

Katie: Well, I think that’s for the best, honestly.

Carter: Would you have wanted a clean break from bill?

Katie: Bill and I have a son. He’s always gonna be in my life. But honestly, we haven’t, um, connected as a couple in a while.

Carter: Mm.

Katie: Which is why I’m curious.

Carter: About me and quinn?

Katie: Yeah. You know, she had success, she had security. She’s a world-renowned jewelry designer. She was mrs. Eric forrester, and yet, she risked it all for you.

Carter: Thanks?

Katie: No, it’s just, you know, besides all of your success and talents. You obviously shook quinn to her core. Caused a seismic shift in her life.

Carter: And that idea intrigues you?

Katie: It does. Was the chemistry that hot?

Hope: You can’t lose hope. Because there is still a chance. And I know you still love him, and I have to believe that he still loves you.

Brooke: He does love me. He told me he always will. But that doesn’t mean we’ll be together.

Hope: Mom, I know you and I know you will be able to get through to him.

Brooke: I hope so, honey. But I am one small voice. He has his other family shouting in his ear all the time.

Hope: I know, because they’re trying to make it seem as if their connection and their love is more valid than yours when it is not. You are ridge’s wife.

Brooke: You’re right. You are. You’re right. And I don’t want to be at war with taylor and her kids. I don’T. God, I just want my husband back. That’s all.

Thomas: Okay. I want details. Like I was there.

Ridge: I assume that she told you every detail ad nauseam at this point.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I mean, have you ever heard her tell a story? It’s like–

Steffy: Excuse me?

Taylor: Steffy has good stories.

Steffy: Yes, I do.

Thomas: Okay, look, things seemed kind of bleak before you left for aspen. I mean, mom, you were thinking about leaving L.A.

Taylor: Well, that was the plan. But steffy convinced me to go to aspen and think things through. Don’t make any rash decisions.

Taylor: I mean, as much as I love your dad, I knew that he was torn and he was trying to make his marriage work. And our feelings for each other were making things very complicated, and it– it just didn’t feel right.

Ridge: Hey!

Taylor: But then he said that he came there to find me. Because he realized that I was the one that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Ridge: And she didn’t believe me.

Taylor: I mean, I– I wanted to believe you.

Ridge: Eh.

Taylor: I did, I did. But I was– I was bawling my eyes out. And I was really fighting my feelings. So, naturally, I ran from them.

Ridge: And from me.

Taylor: Yes.

Taylor: But he didn’t let me get away. No matter how far or fast I ran, he didn’t give up.

Ridge: Can we please– can we please stop running? I’m gonna have a heart attack.

Taylor: Then stop chasing me.

Ridge: But I’m not that man anymore.

Taylor: Okay, what kind of man are you now?

Ridge: I’m a man who’s standing on a mountain in front of this beautiful woman, telling her that we can do this. That I’m not gonna let her down anymore.

Ridge: I want to be a better man.

Ridge: And you make me a better man. I want to be with you.

Ridge: For always. And she was so deeply moved that she said–

Taylor: What the hell took you so long?

[ Chuckling ] Cps agent: Child protective services.

Brooke: Hello. I’d like to report a child in danger. Cps agent: And your name, ma’am?

[ Cell phone beeping ] Brooke logan. Please hurry.

Brooke: Brooke logan. Please hurry.

[ Taylor & ridge laughing ]

Taylor: Uh-oh, I think we lost him. Thomas?

Thomas: No, no, I was just, uh, just thinking. Uh, so then brooke showed up?

Steffy: Not that it mattered. It was too late.

Thomas: Yeah. No, I just thought that maybe she was trying to plead her case.

Ridge: Why can’t you take some responsibility and just say it? Say to me.

Brooke: Say what?

Thomas: Brooke didn’t say anything?

Ridge: Why are we talking about brooke? What are we doing? I’m here with your mom, and yes, there’s only one question I have, and you’re right. What took me so long?

[ Laughing ]

Taylor: See? I knew I– it was– it was valid. Good question.

[ Mouthing ] Research shows that people remember ads with young people

Katie: It’s a serious question. What?

Carter: I’m just thinking, if bill heard you right now.

Katie: Is that really what you’re thinking?

Katie: I made it very clear that I’m not interested in pursuing things with bill.

Carter: I do want to make one thing clear, though.

Katie: Okay.

Carter: I didn’t never give you a thought. I’ve always noticed how incredible you are. How smart. How strong.

Carter: Beautiful. How sexy.

Brooke: What I share with ridge is more than history. We are connected on the deepest level. And taylor and her children, they’ve never understood that. They’ve never been able to accept it. But I am not giving up on ridge.

Brooke: Our love story is not coming to an end.

Taylor: I just– then– then, yeah. But the– it was–

Steffy: That’s great.

Taylor: And it was beautiful, too.

[ Taylor laughing ]

[ Chatter ]

Steffy: Are we leaving you out?

Ridge: What?

Thomas: Yeah, like, what are you doing? You gonna join the team? Come on.

Ridge: I’m– I’m the leader of this team, what are you talking about? I’m just standing back for a second because I… I like seeing you guys laughing together. Those– those are precious moments. We don’t have too many of those. I mean, that’s something that steffy and finn have taught us, right?

Taylor: That is– that is so true. And thank you for that. You know? You know, this moment, right here, that we’re living right now, I– I really didn’t think it was possible. And I didn’t think it would ever happen. Until your dad caught up with me on the top of that mountain and proved to me that anything is possible.

Ridge: Hm.

Taylor: True love wins in the end, we’re happy, we’re together and we’re ready to build the rest of our lives together.

Taylor: We did it, ridge. We did it. It’s another miracle for a family.

Thomas: Another miracle for our family indeed.

Days Update Friday, October 21, 2022

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Jada joins Eric in his room and invites him to lunch. Eric says he’d love to but he has a photoshoot today. Jada thought he was still taking time off but Eric says that since Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are doing so much better because the serum is really working, he’s back at work. Eric then gets a text from Basic Black Corporate and then informs Jada that he just got fired.

Nicole sits at Basic Black and shuts her laptop. Chloe arrives and apologizes for being late. Nicole tells her it’s okay as she assumed Chloe and Brady would have a late night at the hospital but she’s glad to hear the good news about Marlena and the others. Chloe cries that she’s assuming Brady had a late night but it wasn’t with her because he dumped her.

John comes home to Brady and says he’s just picking up patient files for Marlena since she doesn’t want to take a day off work while recovering. John talks about being surprised that the serum showed up. Brady agrees that they got lucky. John asks him if everything is alright. Brady says the fact that Marlena, Kate, and Kayla are seemingly cured is the best news ever. John questions why he’s trying to fool him then and what he’s not saying.

Kristen sits in her apartment, reading the article in the Spectator about Kate, Kayla, and Marlena being cured by a mystery serum. Kristen toasts a glass of champagne to their recovery and says they don’t know what it has given her. Stefan shows up and tells Kristen to be straight with him as he asks if she messed with his brain.

Brady informs John that he broke up with Chloe. John doesn’t understand. Brady explains that it’s not about Chloe but about Rachel. John understands that Rachel blames Chloe for not letting her see Kristen but argues that can’t be it. Brady claims that it is as he can’t put Rachel through much more. Brady knows it’s not fair to Chloe, but says Rachel comes first. John calls it so out of the blue since he was hopeful that Rachel would come around. John questions what the hell happened to make him stop all that and take such a drastic step. Brady thinks back to Kristen’s demands. Brady then tells John that it was only sudden to him because he’s been preoccupied. John argues that he hates to see Brady throw something so great away without thinking it through. Brady responds that he has thought it through and he doesn’t have a choice.

Stefan tells Kristen that he’s grateful to her for everything she did to bring him back but it’s his feelings for Gabi. Stefan says it’s almost as if something was done to his brain before he was revived and she was there, so she would know. Stefan asks Kristen why he hates Gabi so much.

Gabi visits Rafe in his office at the police station and asks him to spill the tea. Rafe informs Gabi that he and Nicole had a fight after he walked in on her comforting Eric with a hug. Rafe says it was understandable as they’ve always been close and Marlena was really sick. Rafe talks about how Nicole and Eric’s marriage didn’t end the way they imagined so it’s understandable that they still have unresolved feelings. Rafe admits he got more and more frustrated and exploded in a rant at Nicole, so he slept in his office. Gabi tells Rafe that he’s not where he’s supposed to be. Gabi tells him that he should be with Nicole, trying to fix this together.

Chloe cries to Nicole that Brady wants to be a good father so he’s put Rachel first and he is as upset as she is, but he keeps saying he doesn’t have a choice. Nicole can’t believe Kristen is using her daughter like this. Chloe says things were so good for her and Brady this time as it happened so quickly but it ended just as quickly. Nicole tells her that she’s so sorry but she knows what it’s like because she thinks she might be next and it’s her own damn fault.

Jada questions why Eric was fired. Eric reads the message which just says his services are no longer required. Jada argues that it doesn’t make any sense since they just hired him. Eric agrees but insists that EJ must have had something to do with it. Jada asks if the e-mail is from EJ. Eric sees that it is not and that it’s from Nicole.

Rafe tells Gabi that he thinks it’s a bad idea because if he goes home, he and Nicole could end up in round two and then they both end up losing. Rafe blames himself for letting this go too long. Gabi understands that Rafe was hoping it would go away and giving Nicole the benefit of the doubt like Li has been doing with her since Stefan came back. Gabi informs Rafe that Stefan served her divorce papers this morning, so it’s definitely long gone and she loves Li. Rafe is sorry as he knows that must have been tough. Gabi says she never expected to see Stefan alive again but she needs to get over it and accept that the person she loved with all her heart finds her repulsive and is disgusted by her. Rafe calls that crazy and insists that Gabi is beautiful, successful, and smart. Rafe argues that Stefan was lucky to have had Gabi. Gabi calls him a loyal brother and thanks him but says she’s accepted the fact that it will never work out for her and Stefan. Gabi adds that she can’t get rid of the feeling that Dr. Rolf did something to Stefan to make him feel this way but Rolf is hiding underground so she can’t track him down to confront him about it. Rafe reveals that he can tell her where to find Dr. Rolf.

Dr. Rolf cleans up his lab while complaining about the cops searching his lab. Li arrives and calls it quite the mess. Li informs Dr. Rolf that he may have a solution and suggests he leave the lab the way it is. Dr. Rolf asks if he lost his mind. Li responds that he needs a new lab with everything he could desire. Dr. Rolf would like to see it. Li says it’s a little more involved than just a drive. Dr. Rolf asks how far away they are talking. Li reveals it’s 10,000 miles away.

Nicole tells Chloe that she was shocked because she’s never seen Rafe so upset and angry. Chloe says she’s sorry. Nicole adds that Rafe hasn’t returned her calls and texts. Nicole can’t stop thinking about the day she had a sex dream about Eric and how she had to go see him, then Jada was there so she lied about why she was there. Nicole says her reaction to the dream and the feelings it stirred up is the sole reason that Eric ended up working at Basic Black. Nicole declares that it’s now taken care of.

Jada comments on Eric being fired by e-mail. Eric wonders if EJ forced Nicole or if he’s just not that good anymore. Jada thinks back to seeing Rafe and Nicole arguing about Eric working with Nicole. Eric then asks Jada what it is. Jada reveals that she thinks she knows why this happened. Eric questions what she means and how she could know. Jada reminds Eric that he asked her to go to the Pub to let Roman know about the serum last night. Jada informs him that when she got there, Rafe and Nicole were arguing outside and she didn’t mean to eavesdrop but she didn’t want to interrupt so she caught the end of their fight. Eric asks what they were arguing about. Jada responds that it was about Eric.

Gabi questions Rafe knowing where Dr. Rolf is. Rafe informs her that they raided his secret lab the other day, thinking they would find the serum. Rafe says they didn’t find it but they did find Dr. Rolf so he suggests starting there. Gabi decides she’s going. Rafe wants to send a cop with her but Gabi says she’s not afraid of Dr. Rolf and doesn’t need an escort. Gabi says she’s been wanting answers since the day that Stefan showed up and rejected her, so she’s kind of overwhelmed that she might get the truth.

Kristen tells Stefan that she’s not his enemy. Kristen says he’s her brother and she loves him, so if she could help him she would. Kristen questions why she would want to manipulate his feelings for Gabi even if she could. Kristen says that she and Gabi were allies against EJ at DiMera Enterprises and claims that she would love it if Stefan and Gabi were together. Stefan guesses that makes sense. Stefan says maybe he was thinking about it wrong since Kristen is obviously not anti-Gabi, so maybe she’s just pro-Chloe.

John questions Brady saying he had no choice but to break up with Chloe and argues that there’s always a choice. Brady claims he didn’t mean it to come out like that and says he’s doing what’s best for his child no matter what. Brady calls John a great dad so he gets it. John respects Brady’s decision and devotion to support his daughter, but he’s just sorry to see Chloe go.

Chloe questions Nicole firing Eric in an e-mail. Nicole admits that she took the easy way out and didn’t even give him a reason why. Nicole calls it the right thing to do since Rafe was so upset about Eric and brutally honest about it, so she didn’t have a choice. Chloe wonders why Nicole really fired Eric. Nicole says she just explained that. Chloe asks if it’s because she’s feeling guilty about lying to Rafe or if there’s more. Chloe questions if Nicole wants to get back on track with Rafe and for her marriage to work. Rafe then walks in and declares that he’d like to know the answer to that himself.

Eric asks Jada if this is all about something Rafe said. Jada confirms that Rafe was upset about Nicole hiring Eric and said that it was a terrible idea. Eric questions Rafe being jealous of him. Jada confirms that he’s jealous of Nicole’s feelings for him. Eric realizes that Nicole fired him to save her marriage.

Chloe decides to let Nicole and Rafe talk, so she exits the office. Nicole tells Rafe that she’s very glad he’s there. Nicole says this is so hard and she doesn’t know where to start. Rafe starts by apologizing for losing his temper and saying things he shouldn’t have said. Nicole feels she should be apologizing for pushing back on everything he said. Rafe says he just wanted to let her know where he was at emotionally. Rafe repeats that he said things he shouldn’t have said and that’s not how he wanted to handle it. Nicole tells him not to blame himself because she was unfair to him by being so close with Eric. Nicole acknowledges that it’s Jada’s place to console Eric and not hers. Nicole says that Eric doesn’t need her to employ him. Nicole wants Rafe to know that she heard him loud and clear last night when he said that Eric working here was a terrible idea, so she did something about it. Nicole informs Rafe that she fired Eric. Rafe responds that she shouldn’t have done that.

John apologizes to Brady for pushing him so hard about Chloe when it’s his business. John knows Brady doesn’t need him twisting his arm to do what he thinks is right. Brady asks if Marlena is doing good and getting better along with Kate and Kayla. John calls it a miracle and says there’s no other word for it. Brady calls that the best news ever. John declares that in reality, they both know the serum didn’t just drop from the heavens. John doesn’t have a clue where it came from but he just wants to be sure the serum will keep working. John says he will stay optimistic. Brady knows John feels skeptical about it, but his gut tells him that everything’s going to be just fine and the serum is working, so it doesn’t matter where it came from.

Dr. Rolf questions Li trying to get rid of him. Li says they both stand to gain from this but Dr. Rolf disagrees. Li reminds him that the police already suspect him to be linked to the disease that struck Kayla, Marlena, and Kate so Salem is not the place for him right now. Dr. Rolf reluctantly agrees with him and says he doesn’t have much to pack. Li tells Dr. Rolf that his private jet awaits. Dr. Rolf still feels like he’s running. Li says that he is but there’s no shame in that. Li adds that the police are not the only ones looking for him as Gabi is too. Li says that Gabi wants to know if he brainwashed Stefan in to hating her and warns that he doesn’t want that nor does Kristen.

Kristen questions Stefan thinking she did all these mind altering things to play matchmaker for Chloe. Stefan clarifies that it would be for Kristen and Brady. Stefan says it’s no secret that Kristen’s been obsessed with Brady and that Chloe was in her way while he then miraculously and coincidentally woke up from a four year long nap with this intense disgust for Gabi and an equally intense longing for Chloe. Stefan says that’s the only way he can explain it. Kristen admits it makes sense but points out the detail that Brady and Chloe broke up which she claims was no thanks to her. Kristen tells Stefan that means Chloe is free.

Brady tells John to call him from the hospital with any updates which he agrees to do. John goes to leave right as Chloe arrives. Chloe asks how everything is going at the hospital. John says Marlena is getting better by the minute and he doesn’t even want to think about what would’ve happened if the serum hadn’t dropped from the heavens. Chloe says she’s happy for him. John says it’s good to see her as he then exits.

Stefan questions how Kristen knows about Brady and Chloe. Kristen says good news travels fast and it proves her point that Brady and Chloe were a ticking time bomb. Kristen imagines Stefan still has lingering doubts about his feelings from before the four years he was gone until now. Kristen says he had four years to resolve his conflicting feelings and woke up with a new sense of purpose, having finally figured it all out. Kristen declares that Stefan is now finally going after what he truly wants. Kristen claims it’s just her opinion and suggests he trust his gut. Stefan apologizes for bursting in like this and decides to get going. Kristen says he has a lot to think about as Stefan then exits. Kristen remarks that she does feel a little bad for Stefan, but she doesn’t need him to come between Brady and Chloe anymore, though it’s better safe than sorry.

Li assures Dr. Rolf that leaving is the best option as it’s better to be safe than sorry. Dr. Rolf argues that he’s not intimidated by Gabi and he can handle her. Li calls him a genius and an idiot. Li argues that Gabi is a lioness and would get the truth out of him in two seconds. Li encourages Dr. Rolf to go, so he’ll also be out of Rafe’s jurisdiction. Dr. Rolf says he will need a little time to get his things in order. Li says he will send a car to take him to the airport and insists that he’s doing the right thing. Li then exits the lab.

Nicole doesn’t understand as she thought she did the right thing. Rafe says they are supposed to be partners and they aren’t in a good patch, but he doesn’t want her to fire Eric because of him. Nicole questions what he wants then and argues that she did it to fix them, but it hasn’t. Nicole questions what the next step is and where they stand. Nicole pleads with Rafe to tell her what she can do or what he wants. Rafe responds that he wants them to be okay. Nicole says she does too but questions if that’s possible after last night since Rafe didn’t even come home. Rafe apologizes and explains that he was worried that he would just make things worse if he did. Nicole suggests they could’ve worked things out and had incredible make up sex. Nicole tells Rafe that she missed him so much. Rafe says he missed her too and they kiss until Rafe gets paged back to the police station. Rafe tells Nicole that she will see him tonight and kisses her goodbye as he then exits the office. Nicole then sits back down looking frustrated.

Eric knows Jada feels bad for sharing what she overheard but he thanks her because he needed to know. Eric decides he’s not going to a photoshoot after all and his afternoon will be free, so they can have lunch here. Jada points out that her lunch break is over now. Eric apologizes for talking her ear off. Jada says she has to head back to the station but they agree on dinner as they hug.

Brady questions what Chloe is doing here. Chloe apologizes and says she won’t be long but she left some things in his bedroom. Brady tells her to go ahead.

General Hospital Updates

Update written by Dustin

At the PCPD, Anna told Portia the truth that Lucy had been working for her on an investigation targeting Victor Cassadine, who was being held for questioning in the interrogation room.  Portia asked Anna if she believed Victor could have had Lucy killed and Anna told her that she believed it was entirely possible.  Anna eventually lost it and rushed into the interrogation room and told Victor that if he didn’t start talking she would make it her personal vendetta to bring him down.

At that point, Victor’s attorney arrived and asked why he was being interrogated without counsel?  Victor said that they were all just “caching up.”

Nina’s nosiness got her into another heated exchange with TJ.  She did her best to get him to admit to the affair that he isn’t actually having with Willow.  Nina asked for an explanation from TJ about his closeness to Willow and how they seem to be together quite a lot when Michael isn’t around. TJ declined to give Nina any details and told her to mind her own business. Nina told TJ that it was her business because Wiley was her grandchild. TJ did not respond to her further goading and when Sonny walked over to see what was wrong, TJ said goodbye to Sonny and shot Nina a dirty look and pointedly did not say goodbye to her.

Michael overheard Ned leaving a voice mail message for Valentine detailing how he was very upset that Valentine never returns his calls.  Michael inquired as to whether Ned’s decision to ally himself with Valentine was working out well.  Ned was obstinate and shot back at Michael, wanting to know if the stock free fall at Aurora Media had been contained.  Michael answered that it had been and the situation quickly escalated into a screaming match.  This upset an already ill Willow to the point of her becoming obviously in distress.  Olivia came to her aid first and asked if she was alright, which then triggered Michael to come to check on her.  Olivia suggested that Willow get some fresh air and then she asked Michael and Ned if they were proud of themselves.  She was obviously furious that their juvenile behavior had upset a pregnant woman in their own household. Willow went for walk and found footprints leading up to one of the Quartermaine guesthouses.  Willow investigated and found a woman she did not recognize, she screamed and her screams were heard by Michael, Olivia and Ned in the kitchen of the main house.  Willow came rushing back into the main house and described what she had seen.  Michael asked her if she thought it was Lucy’s assailant and Willow said she didn’t know.  Ned picked up the phone to call Dante and Olivia was going to phone security but Michael rushed out, intent on confronting the individual before they could get away.  Olivia pursued Michael, screaming for him to wait. Michael and Olivia reached the guesthouse and Olivia implored Michael to wait for the police.  But, Michael told her to get back and he smashed the door of the guesthouse. Michael looked perplexed as he saw the woman inside.  When Olivia, ran up she was horrified, like she had seen a ghost.

A pow-wow with Sonny convinced Curtis that he should, “explore genetic counseling,” if, for no other reason, than in the case that he and Portia decide to have any children together, they would know.  Sonny and Curtis being unaware that Portia and Curtis already have a child who is the picture of health.

Back at the PCPD, drone footage from Pier 55 was made available for everyone to see what happened on the Pier.  When the footage was called up on the screen, no one could believe their eyes.

Meanwhile at General Hospital, Epiphany readied herself for her MCATs and had a heated exchange with Marshall for ever building up her self confidence enough to let her pursue what she regarded as a foolish dream.  Marshall quickly talked her down by stating all the wonderful qualities that Epiphany has and how no one can run GH like she can.  Epiphany seemed satisfied and she gave Marshall a kiss on the cheek as she headed to the testing location.

Trina and Rory headed for a comic book convention after Rory was finally able to break free from work. He was delighted and thrilled; she wasn’t exactly, but she explained to Rory that if he found this form of art interesting that she was willing to go into the experience with an open mind.

Epiphany began the process of the MCAT exam and as she saw the first question come up on the screen, she smiled.

Back at the Quartermaine guest house, Robert arrived with Ned and before he could go inside the guest house a concerned Olivia told him before he went inside he should, “prepare himself.”  Robert went inside and was stunned to find Holly seated in the front of the room.  “Hello, Robert,”  Holly said.  Robert looked on with shock.
