Adam: It’s — it’s a little complicated, and it’s probably gonna take some time for us to get used to the new family dynamic.

Connor: Mom wants us to be one big family, but we already are family. We don’t need Johnny.

Adam: You’re right. We are a family, Connor. And your mother knows that, too.

Connor: No, she doesn’t. Johnny has his own family. If she misses him so much, she never should have given him up in the first place

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

Connor: Mom is different now. She’d probably be happier if she had kept Johnny.

Adam: Mnh, no, that is not true, Connor

Connor: It’s like I’m not enough anymore. If she can’t have Johnny around, she doesn’t want anybody.

Adam: Connor, that is no t true.

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.

Young & The Restless Transcript

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!

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.

Next week on “the young and the restless.”

Phyllis: Trust me when I say diane is at her tipping point. It’s only a matter of time before she snaps.

Nick: Newman enterprises has decided to replace you and chloe at newman media.

Adam: Are you okay?

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.

[ Cell phone beeping ]

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 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. Brady then stops her and says he feels really terrible. Chloe cries that she knows why he did what he did. Chloe then heads to get her things. The doorbell rings and Kristen arrives with her bag packed.

Rafe returns to his office. Jada comes in after him and asks if he has a minute. Rafe asks what’s up. Jada says it’s kind of awkward but she accidentally heard some of the fight between he and Nicole last night. Rafe admits that wasn’t his best moment and he’s sorry she had to hear that. Jada assures that she didn’t mean to overhear but she felt that he should know that she told Eric what she heard. Rafe is surprised to hear her say that. Jada explains that she was with Eric when he got an e-mail from Nicole that he was fired and he was so confused and she didn’t know how to help him, so she felt he should know. Rafe tells her not to worry about it as everything will work out fine. Rafe tells Jada that he never told Nicole to fire Eric and actually told her it was a mistake and that she should rehire him. Rafe declares that he has to be able to trust his wife.

Nicole goes to Eric’s room and says she wanted to explain the e-mail from earlier. Eric says he knows she didn’t fire him over budget cuts and that it’s about her marriage.

Brady questions what Kristen is doing here. Kristen reminds him that they talked about this. Brady argues that he just broke up with Chloe last night and needs more time. Kristen argues that she helped him dodge a bullet. Chloe comes out with a box of her things and questions what is going on. Kristen guesses Brady didn’t have the chance to tell her that she’s moving in.

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.

Adam: [Sighs] Look, what are you still doing here, Nick? I hope you didn’t get us locked on this roof because there’s not enough food or champagne if we get stranded here.

Nick: Don’t tempt me. I just might lock you up here all alone, unless you’re straight with me.

Adam: Look, may I suggest that we have this intense conversation another time? Because I am really not in the mood.

Nick: Well, you better get in the mood, Adam. I’m not leaving here unless i get some answers. What is the matter with you? Why would you lure Sally up here under false pretenses?

Adam: Well, based on your question, I gather that while i was up here waiting for the sun to come up, Sally ran to you to spill her version of the story.

Nick: Yeah. I talked to her.

Adam: Oh, good. Should I even bother getting up? If I do, are you just gonna knock me back down?

Nick: I did not come up here to fight with you. But I want to make sure we’re clear about something. We are not going to put Sally in the middle of yet another brother-against-brother feud.

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

Nick: Hey. Did you hear me?

Adam: Of course I did. I mean, when Nick Newman makes one of his heroic declarations, everyone listens. Except this one fell a little flat because Sally isn’t in the middle of anything, Nick, since I can’t compete with my great and noble big brother.

Nick: Come on, man.

Adam: No. I mean, really. Please proceed on your chivalrous crusade and keep playing the role of the protector to the hilt.

Nick: I heard about this little stunt last night while Sally was still here. Did you see me rush over here to come to her rescue?

Adam: Why is that? Was your, uh, cape at the dry cleaner?

Nick: I just figured you two needed some time to work out some things, so I gave you some space. But I need to know going forward, do I need to protect her from you?

Adam: [Scoffs] Please relax. I’m not a glutton for punishment. And I can take a hint. Alright? Sally has made her choice, and I’m not gonna beg. I know I can’t force her to forgive me.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you finally realized that.

Adam: So, you and Sally are free to do whatever the hell you want together. And I guess I’m destined to lose everything I want and I care about to one sibling or the other. It’s called “the curse of the black sheep.”

Kyle and Summer enjoy some romantic time on their honeymoon and later Kyle tells Summer that he feels more at peace since Diane came back into his life.

Nikki gets Talia to do a profile on Tucker for the magazine for which she works but Tucker doesn’t give her any useful information for her article.

Diane tells Jack that when she lived in Los Angeles she dated and fell in love with a financier named Jeremy Stark. Diane explains to Jack that he took her on two trips with him and for the first time in her life she felt like someone was taking care of her. Diane tells Jack she later found out that Jeremy was hiding a lot of money in her suitcases, and when she arrived at her destination, he would deposit the money in the bank. Diane told Jeremy she knew that he was using her, and she didn’t want to do it anymore. Jeremy then told Diane that she would keep working for him or he would contact her family and tell them she was alive. Jeremy asked to meet with her one day and told her that a friend in the Justice Department told him he would be arrested soon, and when he heard the police cars coming, he told her to leave so she wouldn’t be arrested. Diane tells Jack that six months before she started sending him those text messages, she saw Tucker in Los Angeles and he told her he had found Allie. Tucker wanted Diane to find a way to tell the Abbott’s about Allie or he would turn her in to the police as Jeremy’s accomplice. Jack is stunned by everything Diane has told him, but since Phyllis interrupts their conversation, he tells Diane they will continue their conversation later and he walks out of his office.

Jack: Well, I’m less than thrilled, but it’s a necessary evil.

Tucker: Yeah. And I appreciate your candor, as always. I know you’re not thrilled about my coming back to town and trying to reconnect with Ashley.

Jack: No, but I am pleased with your lack of progress in that regard.

Tucker: So you must have enjoyed her storming out just now.

Jack: Well, I would have preferred she throw a drink in your face, but storming out we’ll have to settle for.

Tucker: Yeah, I know you’re protective of her and i appreciate that. I admire it, actually. It’s exactly how I would feel in your situation. But my wanting to make amends with her is genuine ’cause, Jack, my relationship with her is the best thing that ever happened to me.

************””””** *******”””

Sharon: Because there is a pattern here, Nick. You and Adam tend to pursue the same women — Chelsea, me, and now Sally.

Chloe: Well, someone invited her, and she’s at the Grand Phoenix rooftop right now meeting that person.

Nick: Let’s — let’s calm down. I’m sure it’s a misunderstanding.

Chloe: Well, I’m not sure how that could be. Because Sally gets this fancy invitation delivered by a courier, and who would go to those lengths just to mislead her?

Tucker: Thank you.

Adam: I, uh, heard about your dramatic return, the little stunt with the helicopter.

Tucker: Oh, yeah, the stunt. Well, I was late for the ceremony, you know, and wouldn’t want to be thought of as rude. You know how the righteous people in this town like to cluck their tongues.

Adam: Yeah, I think you just like being unpredictable.

Tucker: Ah, look who’s talking. Choosing to work here instead of at Newman. Victor must have had an apoplectic fit.

Ashley: Huh. Has Tucker changed? As in, is he capable of having an epiphany about anything ever?

[Both laugh]

Traci: I will take that as a “no.”

Ashley: Well, he’s a narcissist, right? I mean, look at the way he disrupted Kyle and Summer’s vow renewal ceremony. It was so incredibly obnoxious. And I don’t believe he had an awakening after he crashed his fancy car and then he went to an ashram. Just two exotic things he can check off his bucket list.

Traci: I imagine he’s lying to himself to some extent, don’t you think?

Mariah: We are so, so sorry we missed the opening night, but we had to get some paperwork in for the adoption attorney.

Tessa: We got you a gift. Will you ever forgive us?

Chelsea: I bumped into him by chance. I did not accost him.

Billy: That’s not how he took it.

Chelsea: I just wanted to make sure he was alright.

Billy: By pushing him to bond with Connor as his brother, Chelsea?

Victor: Tucker McCall. I want you to find out why he suddenly returned to Genoa City.

Michael: [Chuckles] From what I hear, he made quite the grand re-entrance. He certainly wasn’t sneaking around or being private about his plans. What is it you want me to dig into?

Victor: He says he’s here to mend fences with Ashley, to reconnect with his son Devon, and meet his grandson. I don’t trust any of this. But I’m gonna make sure that he will not do any harm to Ashley or that boy.

Michael: That’s very chivalrous of you. I imagine Ashley could hold her own and since Tucker would have to go through Abby to get to Dominic, I’m guessing the little guy is pretty well protected, too. But what ulterior motives do you suspect the man of having?

***********”**********”””””***”*

Tucker: Right. So, I went back to the company and — and thrill seeking, which led to the accident. But it all forced me to — to realize what I’ve been missing, the love and the life that I had right in front of me and I just let slip away. And when you ended the marriage, you said to me, “the only way i would ever trust that you’re not gonna hurt me again is if you went through some kind of miraculous change, if you became some completely different man.” Do you remember that?

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And you didn’t believe it, right?

Ashley: I remember it very well. I remember it.

Tucker: Well, I’m here to tell you it’s possible ’cause I stand before you a completely different man.

You know, clearly, he was trying to score points, calling back the beloved family patriarch, trying to impress everybody with his generosity and thoughtfulness, as if that could erase the bad taste he left in everybody’s mouth.

Sharon: Hi. Is everything okay?

Mariah: Is it that obvious that something’s going on?

Sharon: Well, you two look a little anxious.

Tessa: Yeah, we kind of are.

Mariah: Christine asked us to meet her here.

Sharon: Is that about the adoption?

Mariah: Yeah, she helped us set up a profile that we put online.

Sharon: Yeah, I remember you mentioned that. It’s some kind of national database.

Mariah: Yeah, and our posting hasn’t been up that long,

Tessa: But if the right expectant mother sees it.

Mariah: Not if, okay? When. This is going to happen.

Tessa: Yes. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I will stay positive. It’s just hard after the experience with the first lawyer.

Mariah: Who said that our chances of being considered as adoptive parents was virtually zero considering our colorful pasts.

Sharon: Don’t let that discourage you. That’s one person’s opinion. You two are a wonderful, loving couple.

Mariah: Right. And any baby would be lucky to have us.

Sharon: They would, you know. That’s why I keep saying it. You can tease me all you want to, but it’s the truth.

Christine: Hi.

Tessa: Hi, christine.

Mariah: What’s — what’s going on?

Christine: I have news. Good news.

Jack: I’m glad you could free yourself up from the lab to be part of that presentation. I thought it would be a learning experience for you.

Allie: Yeah, yeah, it was really interesting to see how the moisturizing serum that I’ve been working on is going to be marketed.

Jack: You know, you may be able to follow in ashley’s footsteps, building a career that combines being a scientist and an executive. I think you could make a heck of a businesswoman. Or not. Maybe — maybe the board’s not for you.

Allie: No, it’s not that, jack. It’s just that when you said “businesswoman,” it made me think of someone in particular.

Jack: Someone you’re not terribly fond of.

Allie: It’s noah’s ex, audra. She got some finance job here in genoa city.

Jack: And you’d rather she found employment elsewhere.

Allie: Well, she says that she’s here just for the job and that he has nothing to do with it, but I’m just not so sure. I don’t know. She keeps showing up wherever he is.

Jack: So what does noah say?

Allie: Well, noah says that he wants nothing to do with her.

Jack: Well, there. You have no reason to be concerned.

Allie: It’s not that simple. Oh, she is very assertive and glamorous and, well, they have this history.

Jack: It is hard for me to imagine her being more glamorous than you are.

Allie: Come on.

Jack: No, I mean that. She and noah split up for a reason. Everyone knows how much he adores you. Don’t let this situation make you feel insecure.

Allie: Thanks, jack. I really needed to hear that.

Jack: And if this woman gives you any grief, you give it right back.

Allie: You know what? I just might do that.

Noah: Okay, first event with live music, so everything’s going to be right on point. So if the sound engineers want to come in a little bit early, please make sure you’re here to let them in.

Woman: Got it.

Noah: Alright, thank you. Hey. What are you doing here? Thought we agreed to keep our distance.

Audra: I didn’t come to start a fight with you, noah. It’s the last thing I need.

Ashley: I told jack all of it — how the bentley connects to tucker and diane and being in los angeles.

Nikki: And how did he react?

Ashley: Calm as a cucumber. Didn’t faze him at all.

Phyllis: Mm, I wouldn’t be too sure about that.

Nikki: Wait a minute. Do you know something we don’t?

Phyllis: Well, I just think that jack is starting to have doubts about diane’s whole reformed act that she’s pedaling all over town.

Allie: Is that a hunch, or is that actually based on specifics?

Phyllis: It’s strong intuition is what it is.

Ashley: Oh, that?

Phyllis: Yeah, well, we need to get him to our side. We need incriminating evidence…

Ashley: I agree.

Phyllis: …Yes, that tucker and diane were in L.A. Together, collaborating.

Nikki: And what was the nature of that collaboration? Was it something personal? Was it a moneymaking scheme? And how does that play out now that they’ve both returned to genoa city?

Audra: Devon and lily are gonna postpone the ipo while they sort things out.

Tucker: Oh, that’s to be expected, I suppose. We’ll just have to be patient. You’ll keep me apprized, of course.

Audra: Of course. But there’s a larger problem than the delay.

Tucker: Oh, let me guess. Some mysterious ceo who’s as interested in taking over chancellor-winters as I am.

Audra: That’s right. Any thoughts on the identity of the interested party?

Tucker: Mm. Many. But one name keeps coming to the surface — victoria newman.

Audra: That would be a reach, I think.

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.

Diane: Oh, have you seen the photos from kyle and summer’s first day of their honeymoon?

Jack: Yeah, I just looked at those. Seem to be enjoying themselves immensely.

Diane: It’s such an idyllic setting. They look so happy and so in love.

Jack: I’m glad they’ve taken the time off from work and everything else that’s going on.

Diane: By “everything else,” I gather that you still think tucker and I led some sort of secret life in L.A.?

[ Sighs ] I see you’re not denying it. You’re doubting my honesty all over again because of phyllis. I just — I hate that she’s turning you against me.

Noah: What’s the problem? Audra, it’s me. I know something’s wrong.

Audra: My consulting project isn’t going as planned.

Noah: I’m sorry to hear that, but, you know, why come here?

Audra: Where I know I’m not wanted, you mean? Rather than, I guess, sitting in my hotel room, I wanted to sit someplace vibrant and just figure things out.

Noah: I assume you’ll have your usual.

Audra: I’m flattered you remember my drink of choice, but something nonalcoholic for now, please. I need to keep my wits about me.

Tucker: I’ve made no secret of the fact that I want to make things right with ashley, show her I’m a changed man.

Victoria: With that entrance? Helicoptering in to a private family event?

Tucker: Well, I may have been overcompensating a bit.

Victoria: The next time you make a grand gesture like that, I recommend that you make sure the person that you’re trying to impress is actually there.

Tucker: That’s amazing advice. It’s no wonder you’re such a successful ceo.

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?

Victoria: 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?

Tucker: You mean into my cold, black heart?

Victoria: You tell me.

Tucker: Well, a spiritual retreat’s really only as good as what you’re willing to put into it, and, back then, I wasn’t ready to do the work.

Victoria: Yes, but you love to keep people guessing, so I guess it wasn’t a total waste, was it?

Tucker: You know, you’re the perfect blend of your parents. You’ve got nikki’s deft way of handling people, and, of course, you’ve got victor’s business acumen.

Victoria: I’ll take that as a compliment.

Tucker: You should. It was meant as one. I think you like to keep people guessing, too.

Victoria: Do I?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. With all the recent acquisitions you’ve been making and the aggressive expansion of the company, that’s had to have kept people surprised, including some in your own company, I’m sure. I used to be like that.

Victoria: I wonder if that’s really changed.

Nikki: Tucker claims he’s in town for three reasons — devon, his grandson, and you, ashley.

Ashley: Right. Well, trust me, his agenda goes far beyond trying to get me back.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Is that a hunch or based on something specific?

Ashley: Well, I have the misfortune of knowing intimately exactly how tucker’s brain works, and he’s not interested in anybody beyond how he can use them to get what he wants.

Phyllis: Oh, a hunch. Got it.

Nikki: Okay, okay, enough.

Phyllis: [ Clears throat ] Have you given any thought to my plan? Getting closer to him?

Ashley: Well, yeah. You wanted me to spend more time with him, right? Uh-huh.

Phyllis: Right, right. I mean, would it kill you? You can get him to let his guard down.

Ashley: Yeah, I know. That’s why I accepted his dinner invitation, actually.

Phyllis: Good for you.

Nikki: So how did that go?

Ashley: It didn’T. He stood me up.

Phyllis: Oh, he played that game.

Ashley: It worked out for the best, though, because I was able to spend more time with jack, trying to get him to open up his eyes regarding diane.

Nikki: Did tucker ever explain himself to you?

Ashley: He did. Eventually, he showed up right when I was about to leave, and, apparently, he had some kind of an emergency with devon.

Phyllis: I believe that. I do. He’s obsessed with you. I mean, he wouldn’t blow you off on purpose.

Nikki: So how did you leave things with him?

Ashley: He still thinks he has a chance with me.

Nikki: Great. We’ve got him just where we want him. At humana we believe your healthcare should evolve with you and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you.

Mariah: Good news? Already?

Tessa: I think I need to sit down.

Sharon: Why don’t we all sit down? If you don’t mind me joining you.

Mariah: Yes, absolutely. Yes.

Tessa: In fact, we insist.

Mariah: Okay, christine, lay it on us.

Christine: Well, a pregnant woman has responded to your adoption profile and wants to know more about you as prospective parents.

Mariah: For real? This soon?

Tessa: I can’t believe it.

Sharon: What can you tell us about her?

Christine: Well, she’s young, so she’s not at a place in her life where she feels she can raise a child.

Sharon: Well, I know all about that.

Mariah: What does this woman want to know about tessa and me?

Christine: She wants to form a relationship with whoever winds up adopting her child, but she does have some requests when it comes to communication.

Tessa: I mean, whatever will make her feel comfortable, we will do it.

Mariah: This is insane.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] I’m so happy that she picked us.

Mariah: Did she? Or…?

Christine: Yeah, I mean, i don’t know exactly where she is in her process. I just know that you’re up for consideration.

Mariah: Okay, okay. Stay calm. We got to stay calm. We can’t get ahead of ourselves, okay?

Tessa: No, I can’T. I am just too excited.

Christine: And you’re entitled.

Mariah: Christine, we owe you so much. I mean, the way that you’ve guided us through this process and helped us put ourselves out there. I know that we were just at the beginning of this journey, but we wouldn’t have even gotten this far if it weren’t for you.

Sharon: I’m really looking forward to reading your profile. It sounds really special.

Christine: Yeah, we wanted to focus on the future they would create for this child and the loving environment they’d provide. Also the incredibly supportive, extended family who will be part of this baby’s life.

Mariah: What do we do now?

[ Chuckles ]

Christine: Well, the next step is to exchange e-mails with the young woman. Her name is joss, by the way.

Tessa: Cool name.

Christine: Yeah, maybe you’ll have a phone call with her. I have gathered some information from her social worker, and, I mean, she’s really sincere about wanting to place this child with a family.

Sharon: Well, I always like to be the voice of caution, but this sounds like a really great step.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Well, tucker knows he screwed up by letting you sit there. I mean, he’s the one who invited you, and he knew that you weren’t thrilled about going to see him anyway, so he’s just going to have to try harder to convince you that he’s sincere. And if there’s anything I know about men, they love the chase.

Phyllis: You have superior logic. I bow to you.

Nikki: As you should.

Phyllis: And then when you make him jump through hoops, you finally agree to spend some time with him. Go to dinner. Let him talk about how you had a great love, he’s a changed man. Blah, blah, blah. Then you reconnect.

Nikki: No, pretend to reconnect.

Ashley: It’s not going to be easy. I can barely stand to be in the same room with that man.

Nikki: Well, I understand, but given the stakes, eliminating diane from our lives, I’m sure you can find a way to hold your nose long enough to get that done.

Diane: Phyllis has made it her mission to keep me a pariah in this town. The woman is relentless. I mean, ever since I came back, she’s been trying to create suspicion about me, and it’s working. Because of her unfounded accusations, you’re distancing yourself from me, and that hurts, which is exactly what phyllis intended.

Jack: Don’t make this all about phyllis. The timing of tucker’s return, the unfortunate coincidence of this vintage bentley — they bring up a lot of questions, and neither of you have given reassuring answers.

Diane: What can I do to convince you that there is nothing to this?

Jack: I’m not sure you can. This has been eye-opening for me. I’ve been giving you the benefit of the doubt for a long time now, but if I’m honest with myself, I still have trouble trusting you, and I’m not sure that’s ever going to change.

If you have type 2 diabetes

or high blood pressure…

Noah: Ginger ale.

Audra: Perfect. Thanks.

Noah: [ Sighs ]

Audra: What are you thinking?

Noah: [ Sighs ] You know, audra, in the future, if you need to gather your thoughts… there’s a lot of other places in town you can go. Society. Top of the tower. ‘Cause you could say that you didn’t come here intending to stir up trouble, but with you, it’s kind of just part of the package.

Audra: How long are you going to hate me?

Noah: No, audra, I don’t hate you, okay? I can never hate you. It’s just… you bring chaos wherever you go. It’s just who you are.

Audra: You’re basically banning me from your club. Can you really not bear to be in the same room with me? I hoped we could get past how things ended, at least be civil.

Noah: Come on, don’t talk to me about being civil, not after what you pulled with allie.

Phyllis: Alright, well, that was a productive meeting.

Nikki: Yes. You and I will keep digging, and ashley will handle the tucker angle.

Phyllis: I’m glad we have a plan in action.

Talia: Hello, ladies.

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. What a nice surprise. I didn’t even know you were in town.

Talia: Came straight from the airport. I hope it’s okay that I just showed up. Your housekeeper let me in.

Nikki: Oh, of course. Your timing is perfect. I mean, we just had a meeting about our pet project.

Talia: Unveiling the truth about diane jenkins. That is my favorite subject these days, too.

Phyllis: Ours all the time. Listen, you just missed ashley abbott, the third member of our group. She has a plan in action, one, hopefully, that will get us some information about diane and what she was doing in L.A.

Talia: Well, I can’t wait to hear about it. And I may have some new tidbits, too.

Nikki: Oh, well, we appreciate any information you can share with us.

Phyllis: Oh, definitely. I mean, this is a gift for us. I mean, we realize that your main objective here is to write a book on diane.

Talia: That is the goal.

Nikki: Oh, I am so sorry. Please have a seat.

Talia: Oh, thank you.

Nikki: So, what’s new on your end?

Talia: Well, the original series of articles that I had planned that was so abruptly killed and no one from the magazine would tell me why — I finally pulled the truth out of my editor.

Phyllis: What happened?

Talia: Turns out, someone with a lot of money and clout put pressure on the owner of the magazine. She was warned to lay off diane, to not run any more articles.

Nikki: Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Phyllis: Um, yes, I am.

Nikki: It is highly likely that this influential someone is tucker mccall.

Talia: The tucker mccall?

Phyllis: The one and only.

Talia: Wow. So he could be involved in diane’s story.

Nikki: Oh, mark my words. He is involved. It’s just a matter of finding out how and why.

Tucker: As I’m sure you’ve heard, I’m doing just the opposite of expanding my company.

Victoria: Oh, yes, you’re selling off divisions. You’re banking a heavy profit, saving up all that cash for a rainy day should something, I don’t know, something might come along that you might want to acquire.

Tucker: Mm, not me. I’m simplifying my life.

Victoria: Oh, I see.

Tucker: I understand that jill has stepped back from chancellor, and I really admire her for that, you know, ’cause she’s made her mark and achieved her ambitions, and she’s got nothing left to prove. So she’s enjoying her life away from the corporate battlefield. I often think about doing the same.

Victoria: Retirement? You?

Tucker: Well, semi-retirement. Maybe right here in good, old genoa city. I always did love this place.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] I’m sorry, but I find it a little farfetched that you’re going to just pack it all in and do what? You going to take up pickleball?

Tucker: Yeah, right? Someday you’ll understand. It kind of sneaks up on you.

Victoria: So what is your take on the chancellor-winter merger? Were you upset that your mother’s company joined forces with your son’s company? You weren’t even in the mix.

Tucker: Not at all. I couldn’t be more pleased for devon. How it all turned out. You don’t have to worry, victoria. I’m not stockpiling cash to make a run at newman. I don’t see you as an adversary.

Victoria: The thought never crossed my mind.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Victoria.

Victoria: Well, this has been a very interesting conversation, and I see that my food’s ready, so I’m going to go.

Tucker: I enjoyed our chat.

Victoria: Yes. Best of luck with your semi-retirement if you actually follow through with that.

Ashley: Bye.

Victoria: Bye.

Ashley: Semi-retirement. Really?

[School bells]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Keep it quilted means

you keep it the best.

Sharon: Thank you for everything you’ve done for mariah and tessa.

Christine: It’s my pleasure.

Sharon: Brings back memories of hen you helped nick and me adopt cassie. You know, I’ll always be grateful to you for how hard you fought for us and how deeply invested you were in the outcome.

Christine: I remember when that judge announced his ruling, I broke down in tears. I was so happy for you guys and for cassie, knowing that she was with a family she loved and belonged with, who loved her.

Sharon: Now you’re helping my daughter and her wife realize their dreams of adopting a child.

Christine: Yeah, best part of my job.

Sharon: What do you think of their chances?

Christine: Well, it’s hard to say, but I do know this young woman has looked at a lot of profiles. But she reached out to mariah and tessa, I believe, because of their solid relationship, their successful careers, a great deal of family support. That all works in their favor.

Mariah: We looked over the information on the birth mother,

Christine: And?

Tessa: We would love to connect with her in any way that she feels comfortable.

Christine: I’ll make it happen.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Tucker: So, why do you find the notion of me wanting to work less and enjoy life more so surprising?

Ashley: Oh, because I know how driven you are, tucker. I can’t really picture you, you know, taking it easy and settling into some kind of predictable routine.

Tucker: What do you imagine when you do picture me?

[ Both chuckle ]

Ashley: I know how obsessed you are with living life on the edge and pushing your boundaries and facing new challenges, you know?

Tucker: The only challenge I’m currently focused on is proving to you that —

Ashley: How much you’ve changed. Yes, I know. If only saying it over and over and over again made it true.

Tucker: Actually, “challenge” is the wrong word. I think “opportunity” is better. It’S… it’s a chance to take what you and I have learned about love and life and finally get it right ’cause we had such a beautiful connection and can again.

Ashley: You couldn’t even be on time for dinner.

Tucker: Touché.

[ Clears throat ] Well, how about we — how about we do it over right here, right now?

Ashley: You would actually stuff down two lunches for me?

Tucker: Baby, I would actually stuff down…

Ashley: [ Chuckles ]

Tucker: …An ocean liner…

Ashley: Oh, wow.

Tucker: …If it meant that I could charm you into giving me another chance.

Ashley: Mm. I hate for you to think that your charm is actually working on me. However, I’m hungry, and I need to eat, so I don’t mind doing it the same time and place that you are here, so just remember one thing. This is not going any further, okay?

Tucker: Absolutely. I’ll be sure to moderate my expectation.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: [ Clears throat ] I’m stuffed — or, starving.

Ashley: Hm.

Diane: I don’t know what to say. This is beyond disappointing. Jack, I thought he’d made such progress. How could it be undone so easily? Phyllis shares some convoluted suspicion with you about tucker and me, and you just buy it without hesitation?

Jack: I didn’t say that.

Diane: No, but that’s what’s happening. She poured poison into your ear, and now you’re doubting my honesty all over again.

Jack: I will admit that it brought misgivings I thought I had buried back to the surface. Maybe I never got past them. Maybe I just held them in check for kyle’s sake or harrison’s, hoping that time would prove them wrong. My instincts tell me that they’re not. I have to get back to work.

Diane: [ Sighs ] I was taking my antidepressant daily,

Diane: Don’t even start.

Phyllis: Oh, I don’t have to. I don’t want to. I like our truce. Like it. I know you would self-sabotage. It was only a matter of time. Hey, it seems like jack has lost all faith in you. He’s probably waiting for another secret to come out. And, let’s be honest, we all know there is another secret. I know it. Jack knows it. Ashley knows it. Nikki and talia morgan. She knows it. Oh, she’s back in town. She’s doing some research on you. Oh, my gosh. You should’ve seen her face when she found out that tucker mccall was involved with you. A man of his stature — she was so excited. And you know those investigative people, they dig and dig and dig until they find what they want.

[ Sighs ] And once everything comes out, diane, the people you love the most, kyle and jack, they’ll finally know what your secret is.

Talia: So, I am enthralled by the possible connection between tucker and diane in L.A., And I love that it all turns on a vintage bentley, which then tucker tried to give away the same make and model as a gift to the young couple as they were renewing their vows?

Nikki: Yeah, tucker and diane also had a romance back in the day here in town.

Talia: A romance? Really?

Nikki: Mm-hmm. Diane is fascinating in a train wreck sort of a way, but adding a world-famous billionaire to the mix, that could push your book over to another level.

Talia: You are right about that.

Nikki: Now that they’re both back here in town, I am convinced that they have some kind of a plan, and that can’t be good.

Talia: Well, what we need now is some hard evidence, and you say ashley is working on getting that?

Nikki: Yeah. Well, I’m not going to sit back and wait for her to be successful. I have an idea of another way to get at the truth. Are you game?

Talia: Absolutely.

Tucker: You know what i remember most fondly about our time together? Just how simpatico we were. It was just effortless, you know? That’s ’cause we connected on such a deep level, and I just don’t think those kind of connections ever go away.

Ashley: Did you get that off a greeting card?

Tucker: No, I just read it in the bathroom stall.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: I was actually thinking about our trip to japan and the first time that we —

Ashley: Had sex?

Tucker: [ Laughs ] Well, I was going to say first time we truly connected, you know…

Ashley: Oh.

Tucker: …Opened up to each other, which was not exactly my comfort zone, as you know, so it was a big deal to me. Yes, having sex was memorable.

Ashley: I didn’t say it was memorable, actually.

Tucker: Still calling them like you see them, eh?

Ashley: I guess I am, yeah.

Tucker: Mm. We were such a good team, weren’t we? I mean, I loved supporting you, and I… I took so much pride in watching you thrive.

Ashley: Oh, wait, so everything I am, I owe to you? I don’t think so, tucker.

Tucker: No, you got it backwards. Everything I am, I owe to you. When they wanted to take me off life support, you were not about to let that happen. You fight like hell for me to have every chance I could have to recover. So it’s because of you I’m alive. I mean, my grandson — our grandson, which I’m so looking forward to.

Ashley: Such a cutie. Dominic is amazing.

Tucker: Like his grandmother.

Audra: What I pulled with allie? What are you referring to?

Noah: Ah, don’t give me that. He tried to make her feel insecure about me, about our relationship. I don’t appreciate that. I’m not going to do this with you again. I’m not going to play this stupid game.

Audra: Did it ever occur to you that I missed you? That I hate what we lost? Because I do. Look, and I have to believe that you missed me, too.

Noah: God, you’re really just a piece of work. What is this, huh? What is this? You come in here saying all this crap. Why? What, you still need my attention, my validation? What do you want from me, audra? I told you I’m not doing this anymore, okay? I’m done.

Audra: I was just being honest. I just wanted to —

Noah: Get a reaction out of me. And I gave you one. That pisses me off even more.

Audra: Why can’t you see that we have unresolved feelings to deal with? Would it really make you this crazy to see me if there wasn’t something still there? Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

Mariah: Who had the lavender lemon?

Christine: Oh, that’s me. Thank you.

Mariah: There you go.

Tessa: Your cinnamon decaf.

Sharon: Thank you.

Mariah: So, when do you think we’ll hear from joss?

Christine: I don’t know. I e-mailed her your contact information, so the ball’s in her court.

Tessa: I really hope it will be soon.

Mariah: [ Chuckles ]

Sharon: Well, this is really big stuff, tessa. She might need some time.

Mariah: Look, whether it’s today, tomorrow, or the tuesday after next, I just — I am so ready to start a family with you.

Allie: Audra, hello. I didn’t expect to see you here. Hi. I had a break and wanted to talk about our plans.

Noah: Your timing’s perfect.

Audra: Thanks for that suggestion you made about going to society. Allie.

Allie: See ya. Hopefully not anytime soon.

Tucker: You know what I’d like to do with little dominic? Take him to a park with you. Watch him play, and —

[ Clears throat ] And just spend some time with him together, take turns spoiling him rotten.

Ashley: Yeah, not a chance.

Tucker: Excuse me?

Ashley: You got your shot. You got your do-over. Don’t push it.

Tucker: Ashley, have I done something to offend you in some way?

Ashley: I heard you out. And just for the record, it’s going to take a lot more than that for me to be convinced that you’ve changed in any kind of meaningful way. Thanks for lunch.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Tucker: Mccall.

Nikki: I hope this isn’t a bad time.

Tucker: Oh, no, I just finished lunch.

Nikki: Are you free to stop by the ranch? There’s something I’d like to talk to you about in person.

Tucker: How could I refuse you, nikki?

Nikki: Excellent. See you shortly.

Diane: Unlike you, I am not looking for trouble, and I’m certainly not trying to create it.

Phyllis: Mm. Well, even if that were true, and we both know it isn’t, god, diane, you’ve wreaked so much havoc. You can’t live out the rest of your days in peace. You’ve betrayed so many people. You’ve lied. I mean, you certainly can’t live here. You never had a chance with jack. All you’re going to get from him is strained acceptance, and that’s it.

Diane: [ Breathes deeply ]

[ Voice breaking ] You’re right. There’s, um… there’s something I haven’t told you. Something about my time in los angeles, something that I’m ashamed to admit.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

need to know,” right? Listen, if we keep this up, I’m not going to get any work done. So I can’t convince you to play hooky? Your powers of persuasion are considerable, but we are both very busy people.

[ Cellphone rings ] And I got to get — okay, I’m sorry. I just got to get — I got to take this. Okay. Mm. Go.

[ Sighs lightly ] Olivia… you’ve been here like 20 days in a row. Why don’t you go home? At least take the morning off. Let me handle this for you. I’m all set. Thank you. We’re partners, aren’t we? And for the most part, things have been going well, right? You know, I got to commend you on the way that you handled all the details of brando’s memorial. Thank you. I just wanted to do what I could — so why don’t we just quit while we’re ahead, okay? Why don’t you let me buy you out of the hotel before the whole thing gets real nasty? Because we all know that’s where this is headed. Marshall: There she is! Hey, babe! Marshall. What are you doing here? You’ve been studying for these mcats for almost a year. You think I wouldn’t show up on your big day to wish you luck? It’s a good thing that you’re here, because if I crash and burn on these mcats today, I’m holding you personally responsible. Now, I recognize that you have a few last-minute details that you need to settle before we can actually pick a wedding date. But some of these venues, I mean, they are booked out years in advance. Okay. [ Sighs ] Oh, I don’t know. Whoa. Oh. What about that one? Okay, at this point, if one of us likes it, it’s a “yes.”

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughs ] I feel like everyone is marrying their fiancé in the next 18 months. What do you think, t? Got any ideas? Oh, tj? I bet him and molly have dozens of wedding invitations on their fridge right now.

[ Chuckles ] Portia: Tj? Huh? I’m sorry. What was the question?

[ Chuckles ] Aww. Well, now I guess the question becomes… who is more interesting than us? Hey, I thought you had a shift this morning. Uh, terry gave me a few days off. Really? That’s nice of her. I, uh, I heard they always work the new nurses to the bone. Oh, they do.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah? Well, I’m — I’m glad that terry’s being so accommodating with your pregnancy. I’m chairman of the board, remember? You can’t just drop off the face of the earth and leave me holding the bag. Call me, valentin.

[ Cellphone thumps ] Oh, sorry to hear you’re having troubles with valentin. I bet you are.

[ Breathes sharply ] Have you and drew been able to stop the aurora stock from free-falling yet? Ages ago, thanks. But then, drew and I know that we can trust each other. How is that working with you and valentin? Mr. Cassadine, thank you for joining us. Ah, your officers said you have some questions for me about what might have happened to lucy coe. We do. Hmm. Well, I’m more than happy to answer them… once my attorney gets here. Naturally. You can wait in there.

[ Indistinct conversations ] I guess… it’s too much to hope that he might just confess. We don’t know that there’s enough for him to confess to. Oh, come on. The evidence suggests otherwise. He had a date with lucy when she disappeared. We’re well within our rights to hold him for questioning. Yeah. But for now, he’s got an alibi. Yeah. Of course, because he always has other people do his dirty work for him. Anna, walk with me for a moment? When I first came back to the job, you and laura confided in me that you were working together to prove that victor killed luke spencer… and that he’s up to some even grander scheme. Do you want an update? That’s not it. Anna, as your friend, I’ve given you space to handle that investigation. But as your colleague, I need to make sure that your vendetta isn’t clouding your judgment. It’s not. It’s not. Fine. It’s fueling my resolve, but I see everything clearly. Okay, well, then I have to ask — with their connection so well-known, do you think victor could have murdered lucy coe? Absolutely.


[ Indistinct conversations ] Hey. I thought we were meeting out front. Oh, damn. I didn’t realize it was already 10:00.

[ Groans ] Did you at least remember to pack? That I did.

[ Chuckles ] Here I thought you couldn’t wait for our weekend getaway, and now I show up and you’re all distracted… uh, yeah. Last night was crazy. Uh, things got pretty swamped here. It’s a long story. Well, if the safety of the citizens of port charles is at stake, I can’t really drag you away from your duties. So if you need to postpone, that’s totally fine. That was the furthest thing from my mind. Oh, okay, great. Then, uh, let’s go. Are you sure? Because you were ready to call it real quick. Trina, do you not want to go away with me? Where is this coming from? You just got done saying I was doing a good job. I’m not doubting your adaptability or your business acumen. Then what is the problem? In order for this partnership to work, we’re gonna have to trust each other, and there’s no way in the world that I am ever gonna trust you.

[ Scoffs ] So much for being civil. This is my civil. When you kept sonny from all of us, you didn’t just hurt carly and sonny’s kids. You hurt everybody who cares for him. Sonny and I share a firstborn son. We share a grandchild, so that includes me. Now, sonny may be okay with you now. That doesn’t mean that everyone else is going to be. So, again, why don’t you just let me buy you out of this hotel for everyone’s sake? We can all move on with our lives. Sorry, liv. No deal. You’re stuck with me. Everything okay here? Peachy. You know what, nina? I’m gonna let you take care of all of this. Turns out I do need a breather after all. I hate to cut this short, you guys. I really do. But I want to get to the hospital early so that I can wish epiphany good luck on her mcats. Wish her luck from me, too. I will. You know, I think that it’s great that you are helping her prep for her test, and I know your support means a lot to her. Epiphany is my friend. And she’s important to your father, so… it’s my pleasure. Mm. Mwah. I’ll see you later.

[ Chuckles ] I see you smiling. Why you — why are you so happy all of a sudden? This family. Now, we have had our ups and downs, that’s to be sure, but I cannot say how thankful I am that you and marshall have settled in a good place. Yeah. Yeah, me too. I mean, it’s a huge 180 from last year. And of course, I’m sure it helps to understand the burden he was carrying all that time. Wait a minute. You want to run that by me again? How is you tanking the mcats — which is not going to happen, by the way — my fault? You walked into this hospital,

my hospital. Today? A year ago. Oh. And you get me to tell you how, for my entire adult life, I’ve had this fantasy about going to med school, becoming a doctor after decades of nursing.

You encouraged me. Yes, I did. Why would you do that?! Who goes up to near-strangers and just encourages them?! Someone had to! And I’m glad it was me. Okay, officer falconeri, I am here. What’s so damned important? You haven’t heard from lucy since last night, have you? No. No, I haven’T. Why do you ask? Seems she’s gone missing. What do you mean “missing”? She was last seen on the docks. There were signs of foul play. What kind of signs? There was evidence of a gun being fired. A bullet casing was found near where she was on the pier. Jordan: I need you to level with me. What exactly did lucy get mixed up with? Uh, well, um… she was helping me with my investigation into victor. Helping how? Honestly, I just needed one piece of information, and then… she was getting in over her head, so I tried to pull her out, but I-I forgot how stubborn lucy can be. How hard did you really try to extract her? Well, I-I-I brought martin back here, because I thought that that would at least put an end to her ability to see victor. Well, clearly, this move didn’t work. No. I think it was too late. It might have cost her her life.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Coast guard search and rescue. Maybe they found evidence that lucy survived. This is commissioner ashford. What?


Pretty obvious that this thing with you and olivia is not — not working. Yeah, you warned me what I’d be in for if I bought into this place. I was hoping that I was wrong. Well, she pretty much came out and said that I’d be a good partner… that’s a step in the right direction, right? …If I didn’t do what I did to your family. Even though I’m looking out for them now. I’m quite sure it was not easy for your grandfather to open up about his diagnosis…

[Scoffs] Especially to me. And I made a point… to tell him that I don’t want to hear his excuses about why he abandoned your dad and me. But, t, I got to say, man, it never occurred to me how — how difficult it was to make that decision then and then trying to own up to it now. Well, the world has changed since marshall found out about his schizophrenia. Now, he comes from a time when, if you admitted you had a mental illness, that was considered a weakness, a source of shame, which is ridiculous, but you of all people, you know how much courage and how much strength it takes to reach out. You’ve certainly helped enough people. I’m sure, if the time came, you wouldn’t hesitate to rely on family. Well, here’s hoping. If you don’t mind my asking… have you and portia talked about having kids?

[ Exhales deeply ] T, there’s a — there’s a lot to consider first. Portia: There’s no reason

to even think about curtis having symptoms. I mean, a predisposition, that’s no guarantee that the illness will actually develop. Thank god you were spared that. Yeah. I mean, it looks like I’m in the clear. The only reason I would get tested is if I were to have children, because they could be affected. Nina: We aren’t interrupting, are we? It was a pipe dream, something for me to think about when I was bored or fed up with arrogant doctors.

[ Sighs ] No. The point is that I was happy and liked the road I was on and dreaming of the road not taken. But now, I’m — I’m — I’m at a fork in the road, and it’s all your fault! Now, no, no, no, no, epiphany. All I said was if going to medical school was something you wanted to look into, then you should. You called me “dr. Johnson.” Mm-hmm.

[ Sighs ] And now… all these years, I could say to myself, “epiphany johnson, you would have been a great doctor, especially compared to some of these arrogant yahoos.” It was something… for me to dream about, comfort myself with. Epiphany, how is — how is that gonna change? If I bomb these mcats, the dream is over. No more imaginary genius doctor. I’ll just be a real-life failure. It is the early stages of the investigation, okay? We don’t want to get locked into a theory and miss out on something that could be possibly important. Commissioner. Anna. Is there any news about lucy? The coast guard have finished their preliminary search. As almost a whole day has passed, they’re moving the operation from rescue to recovery. So, lucy — my lucy is presumed dead? Hmm? No, no, I’m sorry. I do not accept that. Not without sufficient evidence. And a single bullet casing is hardly proof of anyone’s demise. Come to think of it, what exactly is the proof she was even on the docks, huh? Much less went into the water. We did find her shoe. Alright, for the sake of argument, let’s say that it was lucy’S. It was probably a high-heeled stiletto. Is it not also equally plausible if somebody fired a shot — one shot — and missed, but that lucy got away? She was running. She lost her shoe in the process. I have teams searching the city to see if she might be hiding out anywhere. What exactly does he have to do with it? Hey, uh, marty, come on. Let’s go for a walk. I should let baldwin know. Yeah. He and lucy share a daughter. Good thinking. We should notify lucy’s business partners. Did you want to handle that? Anna? Anna!

[ Door opens ] Oh, hello. How may I help you? You listen to me. Even if we never find lucy’s body, this will escalate into a murder charge, and you will be the number-one suspect. Oh, I very much doubt it’ll go that far. Better hope that it doesn’t, because one way or the other, I will make it my business to destroy you… anna. …And then you will wish that this had gone through the courts, so my suggestion to you is that you just start talking.

[ Breathing shakily ] Is valentin unscrupulous and amoral? Obviously. Has he been good for elq’s bottom line? Unquestionably. Right, compared to what the bottom line would have been if the aurora merger would’ve went through? Mm. Now, ned, come on. Let’s not — let’s not pretend that you’re in any position to lecture me about business. What’s going on here? What is this? Ned versus michael. Round 72.

[ Sighs ] Michael: You were the one leading the charge to keep elq in the family. Then, when what was best for the company meant that you couldn’t be ceo, you changed your tune really quick. Ned: Let’s just take a step back. You tried to drive me out of elq. That is not true. By offering me a figurehead position. What do you want me to say? Drew was the obvious choice for ceo if the merger would have happened. Okay, that’s enough. Both of you, stop it! With you as his second and me pushed to the sidelines! Drew was taking the biggest risk, okay?! He was going to control the largest block of stock. That is how business works, ned. And if you cared about elq as much as you claim you do, valentin would be gone! Honey, willow, what’s the matter? What’s wrong? What’s wrong? Hey, hey, willow. You okay?

[ Breathing shallowly ]


Marshall: You done? Excuse me? Am i done? You done done? Good. Now, take that energy, take that passion, and focus. Focus it on medicine. Focus it on helping people. Focus it on being the best at what you do, ’cause you know you are, and you love it. Are you accusing me of the sin of pride? Deary, there are worse reasons to go to hell.

[ Laughs ] Only a jazz man could talk about perdition like that.

[ Chuckles ] You, sir, are a terrible influence. If I was gonna influence you, it would be to set aside your fears. You’re not — you’re not just a nurse. You’re epiphany johnson. You know all. You see all. Fear runs from you and hides. You’ve been up till the crack of dawn studying for these mcats. Girl, you got this. I thank you for the encouragement. Hey, I’m — I’m just stating facts. What if I don’t pass? So what? So what, epiphany? A valiant effort is not a failure. Far from it. It’s — it’s brave, epiphany. It’s — it’s courageous. And it makes me so very proud of you.

[ Hurried footsteps ] Oh, good. Oh, good. I’m not too late.

[ Breathes sharply ] I wanted to wish you luck on the mcats. Not that you’re gonna need it.

[ Laughter ] Well, thank you. I couldn’t have made it without you. Yes, you could, and you got this. Okay. Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Clears throat ] I guess, uh… I guess I should get down there. Good luck.

[ Sighs ] Willow, is it the baby? I’m fine. I just — I need some air. Well. Are the two of you proud of yourselves? Nina, how are you? Good. We seem to keep missing each other. Oh, yeah. We have to finally catch up one of these days. But before I forget, how did chase’s show go?

[ Sighs ] Brought the house down. Really? That’s wonderful. Yeah. Yay! Excuse me for a second. Hey, sonny, can I speak with you in private for a moment? Yeah. Lead the way. Excuse me. So, what’s on your mind? Sonny, I’m aware [Sighs] That you know of my father’s medical condition. Yeah, I do. So then you’ll probably understand where I’m coming from. Which is…? Well…

[ Sighs ] I’ve been doing a lot of reading about genetic counseling, and I saw that there are tests to determine a person’s predisposition to alzheimer’S. Now, I’m not even asking you to divulge your — your — your decision, but I made a decision not to find out about certain risk factors that could affect me, and [Sighs] — And I’m — I’m just wondering if I made the right choice. Of course I want to go away with you. But…?

[ Scoffs ] A comic convention was never really on my bucket list of things to do. I’m sorry. No, I — I get it. Um. Not everyone’s into comics, and, uh, those of us who are — we can be a little enthusiastic, and sometimes that enthusiasm can be a little overwhelming. Which I totally get, and that’s why I’m going. You made such a huge effort to learn why I’m so fascinated about art and art history. No effort required. You make it interesting. And I know you’ll help me see why you’re passionate about this entirely different kind of art. Hey, cabrera. I need to speak to you before you take off, alright? Yes, detective. I will be right back. Okay. Why are there members of law enforcement speaking to my client before I got here? We’re just having a friendly chat. I certainly hope no one said anything that could even remotely be construed as attempting to coerce a confession. Oh, as the lady said, we were just catching up. What a relief. Now, my client will be happy to answer your questions after I speak with him privately. But first, is mr. Cassadine being charged with something? Not at the moment, but we are within our rights to keep him here for 24 hours. If there’s even a slight chance of that, we’re going to need some water. So you can dust the glass for prints? Nice try. [ Scoffs ] He was the head of the wsb. You don’t think law enforcement has his prints? You make a fair point. I’m treating him to the vending machines anyway. Come on. Oh, come on. Don’t look so worried. Promise I won’t make a break for it. Marty, look, for what it’s worth… till there’s proof, there’s always hope. Yeah. I know. Yeah. For what it’s worth, if lucy’s alive and well, I’ll never take her for granted again. I will also make whoever did this pay… dearly.

[ Breathing shakily ] It certainly wasn’t my intention to upset willow. Oh! But michael was the one who started this argument. Oh, come on, ned. You started it when you betrayed the family. Okay, knock it off, both of you two! You listen to yourselves? You sound like a couple of children on the playground. “You started it.” “No, you started it.” Now, listen, I have been part of this family long enough to know that there is enough backstabbing and lying to make the starks and the lannisters think it’s over the top. But business aside, we always come back together. You know why? Because we are family. It’s about time the two of you started remembering that. Brook lynn? Brook lynn, is that you?

[ Gasps ]

[ Screams ]


ickly ] Willow, oh, my god. Are you okay? What happened? I — I was by the boathouse, and there were — there were footprints coming from the lake and — and what looked like drops of blood. I went into the boathouse, and there was a woman. I couldn’t see her face, but could it be whoever killed brando? God. I’ll call dante. Yeah, okay. Can you call security? Yeah, of course. Of course. Michael, what are you doing? The killer’s still here. I’m not letting them get away. -Michael, no! -Michael, stop! What — are you crazy?! Victor’s alibi is rock solid. We’re gonna have to release him. Now, I could have a plainclothes officer tail him, but… ned quartermaine just called and said that a woman wandered in from the lake and is trespassing on the property. Oh, my god, is it lucy? They can’t get a good look at her, but I’m gonna send a squad car over there, okay? Okay. I’d like you to check the site personally, though. Yeah. Yeah, will do. Yeah. Ah. Why don’t you stick around here and, uh, keep an eye on victor? I’ll report back to you. You do that. Tj. Dr. Ashford. Dr. Ashford. I want to apologize if I was too direct at brando’s funeral. When you warned that people might start spreading rumors about willow and me? It seems the only person doing that is you. Well, again, I am sorry if that seemed out of line — no, it didn’t seem out of line. It was out of line, ms. Reeves. But I’m not one to hold grudges, so I can accept your apology, as long as you stay out of my business and willow’S. But, see, you’re wrong there, because willow and michael, they are my business, because they are my grandson’s parents. So if something is happening, then I should — but there isn’t — there isn’T. You’ve got it all wrong. Then, please, please enlighten me. Could you please? Because every time I see you with willow, it seems like there’s a lot more going on than just being friends.

[ Scoffs ] So please, tell me — what’s really happening between you and willow? Sonny, I’m not trying to push you, okay? I just — I need your wisdom, your experience, your insights on my decision. You know, I considered getting tested for alzheimer’s to see if I had the gene. And then I-I didn’t want to go through with it, because not knowing or knowing is not gonna change the outcome, and I didn’t want to keep waiting for it to happen. So you’re saying I made the right decision? If you had schizophrenia, it would have shown by now, right? Oh, almost certainly. Then why would you get tested if it wouldn’t be about knowing your own fate? Well, no, it’d be about… it’d be about getting facts so I can make decisions about the future of my family. I don’t know what your plans are, but if I think… they’re what I think they are, there’s your answer. You two seem rather cozy. What, that — that kiss? I’m a jazz musician, portia. This kind of thing happens to me all the time.

[ Laughs ] It must be so difficult for you. Yeah. Yeah, I — I barely notice it.

[ Breathes sharply ] Well, I know you two have been seeing each other… but it seems a bit to me like you’re getting serious? Well [Chuckles] Portia, I wasn’t going to broach something like that on her big day. Well, for what it’s worth, I think you’re very good for epiphany. Well, she’s been good for me, too. For so long, I-I was worried about how my — my family, the people closest to me, would react to my diagnosis. And here come this woman, someone I just happened to meet, and she couldn’t have been more supportive. So I learned — I finally — I finally learned it’s best to get — get these things out in the open right away. You can’t walk around — you can’t live with some huge secret that can undermine your whole relationship. Anna: Anything? There was no security camera footage from the docks. Okay. But a flight path was locked for a drone last night. A drone? Thanks to the new york state division of tourism. They were shooting aerial footage of the lake. With any luck, they caught something and we’ll finally get some answers.


No, I will not explain my relationship with willow. I don’t owe you any clarifications, and neither does she, because it’s none of your business. I know you believe that, but i don’t believe that. Nina, you already have a reputation for coming between people, okay? Don’t allow that to be truer than it already is.

[ Scoffs ] Curtis had to go. He — he’ll catch up with you later, both of you. Yeah. Okay. Um… I’ll see you later, sonny. Mm-hmm. Well, I guess we both are gonna have busy days ahead of us. What was that about, with you and tj? Stop! Michael! Michael, stop, don’t be stupid!

[ Lowered voice ] Liv, liv. Just stop, stop. Stay back.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. The division of tourism sent the drone footage in its entirety. Once the time frame is isolated, I’ll bring it out and we’ll review it together. -Great. Thank you. -Okay.

[ Sighs ] Where’s robert? Where did dante go? There was an incident at the quartermaines’. Um, may not be related to lucy’s disappearance, but, uh, we’ll know more soon. How are you? Do you really care? I see why you would say that. You realize, don’t you, that none of this would have happened — none of it — if you hadn’t blackmailed me. I never would have left town, and lucy would never have ended up in victor’s crosshairs. It is a bit more complicated than that — no, no, anna, I don’t think it is. See, the last time I was with lucy, she told me what was going on, how the two of you were at odds. That it wasn’t just me with valentin. You’ve been leaning on her. That you’d wrapped her up in some misguided attempt to…take down victor. Now, how desperate would you have to be, how obsessed to involve lucy in something like that? I-I really regret involving her in this. Why did you wrap her up in the first place? Well, the risks, they weren’t that great. Yeah, but what risks? What exactly was your goal? Yeah. There, see. There it is. Well, now you and me got a whole other problem, ’cause there’s obviously more to this than you’re willing to tell me. And I want to know why.


[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Whispering ] Here goes nothing.

[ Chuckles quietly ] Hey, what’s going on? I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. If you came here to wish epiphany luck, I’m afraid you just missed her. Mm-hmm. Oh, I don’t think epiphany needs any luck, though I wish her well.

[ Chuckles ] No, I came to see the both of you. Curtis, what’s going on? Well, you see, I’ve been doing some thinking, and I have changed my mind. I think I want to explore genetic counseling after all. That’s it. Officially, I am now all yours.

[ Sighs ] About time. Thank you. I’ve known tj since he was a kid. I can’t imagine what you guys would be disagreeing about. Uh, just add tj to the very long list of people who are not my biggest fans. You sure? Yeah. In fact, I shouldn’t be surprised, because it turns out he’S… quite close to willow. The woman you saw — is she inside? Hey, look, if there’s nothing else, I’d like to get willow home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Go, go. We’ll call if we need anything. Is it lucy? No, it’s not. Um… before you go in there, robbie…

[ Breathes deeply ] …You’re gonna need to prepare yourself, okay? For what? You need to see for yourself. I’m just asking you to put your trust in me. I-I know that that’s a lot to ask. Well, what a sublimely english gift for understatement you have. I’m gonna do everything in my power to bring lucy home safely. What if that’s no longer possible? Then I will go after whoever is responsible and I will bring them to justice. Okay, I have the footage queued up to the hour of lucy’s disappearance. Okay. Great. Okay. You may not want to see this. Why? ‘Cause I’m just a civilian? Believe me, I’m staying. Well, this shot’s too far. Can we click on it? Yeah. The drone was hovering over the lake. I can zoom in.

[ Gunshot ]

[ Gunshot ] What the… anna? Tell me the police won’t find any evidence connecting you to this woman’s disappearance.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that. No, I trust anna and robert will be far too distracted to be worried about little old me. Oh, my god. Hello, robert.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You’re looking for a job with spec? Yeah, we, we talked about this, remember? But then we got sidetracked when you realized Jennifer was the one who played Dan Gwen with her car. Just keep your voice down. Yeah. Sorry. I guess if I’m gonna work in the newspaper, bier needs to be a bit more discreet. But like I said, I, not to start as an executive, just wherever you can use.

Sorry, Jack. What’d you say? I’m afraid my answer is no.

You can’t tell anyone you saw me. No one can know that I’m here. Why? What’s going on? And what’s with the get up? I’ve been vanished from Salem. Here. Sit up. Mothers wanna. God, I’ve been calling, texting her for hours. No response. I’m starting to get really worried. I’m so sorry. Do you have any idea where she might be?

No, I don’t. All I know is that Eugene Damara forced her to leave town.

What are you doing here?

If my dad or your brother did put Ralph up in doing something to ste, there’s gotta be a trail, right? And maybe they’re still in contact with him. Worth looking into. I already tried hacking these email accounts. He’s got it well protected. Well, if it’s der, how maybe. All it would take is any other high level to merit password.

I could work my way in through back the, I don’t have a high enough clearance level for that, but maybe I could get into my dad’s. I asked you a question son, and I’d like an answer now. Uh, Stephan Beam to give me our divorce papers. That’s the errand you had to run. When I was leaving the building, I ran into my attorney and he informed me the papers were ready.

So you rushed over here to personally deliver them? I did. But imagine you’re anxious to get married. Just as I’m anxious to cut ties with Gabby. So yeah, I got here as soon as I could. Then I assumed their son. Not yet,

but as soon as they are, our marriage will be over and the two of you will be free to live your happily ever after,

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

Xander, look, I wanna help you. I do, but I, I just don’t think that bringing you onto the paper at this time is a good idea. I need to explain, Jack. I I get it. You do. Of course. I’m just not good enough. And look, I know I have some of the skills I might need to help you, but I like the integrity, the, the decency, the ethics.

You know, if you need someone to clean out your gutters or smuggle some diamonds, I’m your man. But to sully the hallowed holes of the spectator by hiring a scandal like me, I mean, you’ve been insult to the entire third estate, wouldn’t it? Fourth estate, huh? The press is known as the fourth estate. I see.

I top of everything else, I’m ignorant. I mean, just forget it was a stupid idea. It was not, it was not a stupid idea. Look, my decision has nothing to do with you and your, your character, your, your capabilities. And as a matter of fact, it is. It’s not about you at all. And then who is it about when

vanished from som? By whom? EJ Dara. Yet you are still here? Yeah, but he doesn’t know that. Thank God. So this visit, it needs to stay between us. Fine. I know I’m gonna regret asking this. What did you do to anger EJ so badly that you are banished from Salem?

I know that. Look, I saw it every time I caught you with your hand in the cookie jar. Well, can I say I have a, uh, wicked suites? If, if you are after suites, you’d be at your sister’s bakery, not sculpting around my office. Now tell me, Johnny, what have I caught you doing now, son? I’m losing my patience. Okay?

Okay. I will, uh, I’ll tell you. Well, I am here.

I came here to apologize for what? I’ve had some time to think and I realized that you were right about Ava.

Go on. She did lie to us. She just wanted to scam our family, and, and it was right after Uncle Jake died and I, I, it, I believed that she really was grieving and I wanted to comfort her, you know, felt good to be needed. None of it was real. I tried to tell you, son, I know,

I’m really sorry, dad. I, I, I feel like a total idiot. For buying her act. You really did care about her, didn’t you? I thought she cared about me too. The truth is she never cared about me. She was using me to get to you, which is what you said she was doing all along and you were right. You were a thousand percent right.

So, EJ is furious with you because you faked a marriage to Jake so that you could inherit his shares. It was Gabby’s idea. Oh God can’t believe she convinced you to put a wedding ring on a dead man’s finger. A man that I loved. Look, Jake and I were going to be married, and if he hadn’t been gunned down in cold blood, we would be married right now looking.

He proposed to me right before he got shot. I mean, look, we even picked out our engagement ring. I know, because that is the same engagement ring that Xander gave to me.

What does Gwen have to do with me working at the Spectator? Well, as I told you today, I’m checking her out of the hospital, which is wonderful. I’m sure she’s thrilled. She is, but she’s also worried. I mean, she doesn’t have a job. She doesn’t have a place to live. I, I’ve told her she can come home with me and I, I offered her a position at the paper.

So, I mean, it’s a huge operation. There must be more than one opening. There is perfect. And you can hire both of us. Sander, As much as I’d like to, I can’t. And why? Because if I did, my newsroom would turn into a fight club.

You hit ej, but And he’s not making you leave town too. I already left town. I live in Seattle. I don’t remember. Right. Sorry. I, uh, I got distracted. Picturing you going all Anderson sofa, . You’re into mma. Yeah, who is it? And just when I thought I couldn’t like you anymore. So what happened after you popped dj?

Uh, he was going to have me arrested. But your brother stopped him. He was there. Yeah. I tracked DJ down in his office. Yeah, when my brother is currently working as his right hand man. So why would he go to bat for you? He didn’t. He did? For you? For me. It’s to show his gratitude for what I did over the summer in Hong Kong.

You don’t have to be modest trip. You can say it. You saved my life.

You and your brother, Joey. While it is something that we will both be very proud of, especially because we both think you’re. Which we made embarrassingly obvious as I recall. Yeah, yeah. You kind of did. Well anyway. That’s why Leera my defense, maybe he really does care about me. It surprises you. No, it’s just am.

It doesn’t take me seriously. You know, he doesn’t see me as a capable, ambitious adult to him. I’m still the little girl in pigtails who followed him around when we were kids. More pigtails? No, not by choice.

I don’t know. Trip. Maybe I’d have an easier time if I just conformed a little more. I traded in the hoodie and sneakers for suit? No, when they don’t do that. Don’t change for anyone. You are amazing exactly the way you are.

Well, if I’m so amazing, what does my brother refuse to gimme a job?

This all looks pretty straightforward. I think it’d be best if you had a witness for your signature. I’d be happy to be that witness. So, which one of you wants to sign first?

I do.

I cannot wait to be rid of. Once and for all.

Fight Club. You’re saying Gwen and I are gonna be brawling at the office? Not, not literally, but tensions can run high and it is newspapers so there can be long hours and late nights. Wait, you’re not worried I’m gonna cheat on my wife. Are you? Of course not. Good cuz I love Sarah with all my heart and you know, I care about Gwen but his, for anything romantic, that ship has sailed.

I’m over her. Of course. I know. I’m just not sure that Gwen is over you.

Please, please tell me you are not still carrying a torch for that bozo Sanda. Why would you say that? Well, because when I brought up your former engagement ring, you got a little annoyed. I did not. Mm. Anyway, we’re talking about your love life here, not mine.

Tell me, tell me about this scam that you ran on ej. There’s not much more to tell. I was outta my mind with grief and Gabby took advantage of it. She really ambushed you here in the hospital. Yeah. Jake’s body wasn’t even cold and she is pitching me on all the clash that I’m gonna make if I pretend to be his.

The proverbial cat is now out of the bag. EJ found out that the marriage wasn’t real. He’s in and now she’s out. Well, that’s not your fault. She still owes you. So how about you take your problems to her instead of with me? Oh, because Gabby’s got problems over own. Well, what are you waiting for?

You know, you might be alive again, but you’re dead to me now.

I don’t care what Ralph says. If you don’t have heart anymore, Your turn, Lee.

All right. Well Lee, she’s all yours and you are free to marry the man you love following. You’re free to chase your precious Chloe Lean. You know, I’m gonna go ahead and file these. Because if you filed them, I wouldn’t want their authenticity to be questioned. See, I don’t want there to be any doubt that this marriage is finally and permanently.

Over.

I thought you already worked for Damara. Yeah. In the ass end of nowhere, Alaska. Right. I mean, nothing against the state. Really good people. It’s just. It’s not my home and I hate the weather, and so I want Lee to get me transferred here. Give me a promotion, which I totally deserve. That can mean I’d show him up.

None. The shins can’t have that. God forbid, little sister out Shine the first warrant. Son, this sounds pretty sexist. That one’s very sexist. But sadly, it’s still a man’s world. Well, look, I saw that move. You did the get away from my dad in Hong Kong. You can go toe-to-toe with any man. But if what I did over there, what you and Joey did, if that offended you in any way offended me.

Of course not. You’ve saved my life and I’m so grateful. I hope I made that clear and didn’t I just read about you saving another woman’s life by the rowing yourself at a window. Yeah, I guess I’m a little old school like that, always wanting to be the nine shining. Guess I’m a little ashamed to admit. I find that kind of hot.

Oh, relax Lance. A lot. I’m just checking out your hand.

Must have been some punch. There was actually more than one. Really? Who else did you hit? I am Wendy,

you all right? Yeah, I’m fine. Just, uh, thinking about everything a did to me, it was like getting punched in the face. Not painful, huh? I just, I, I, I can’t believe that I defended. You know, I even after she cop to defrauding our family, I actually told you that it didn’t matter to me that she lied to us, that she stole from us.

And I, I don’t know what else to say other than that woman is very persuasive. Hmm. And you and my son, Uh, less so. Excuse me. Sorry Johnny, but I’m having a little trouble believing this. Mayor Culper of yours. When I told Ava to leave Salem, you looked at me with sheer hatred and swore that you’d make me pay.

So I have a temper. Wonder who I got that from? Your mother. But the charm that you use to cloak what you are really up to, that that you inherited from yours truly, and despite all of my demer dna. Still managed to get played by Vitale. You say that, but I wonder if you believe it or if you are the one playing me.

What’s going on? Uh, I was just asking your brother how he ped up his knuckles. Uh, you okay? Yeah. No, it’s nothing. Good. Well, in that case, Wendy, it’s so good to see you. Okay. Wow. It’s, uh, good to see you too. Joey Trip told me about your mom. We’re really glad she’s okay. Thanks. Yeah, no, we’re all incredibly.

So what are you doing in Salem? Oh, I was hoping to get a job here, but my brother’s paying a total to, Oh, I can relate to that. Are you hilarious? Where are you staying? I’m still sort of figuring that out. There’s no way I’m crashing with Lee, but I can’t really afford a hotel. Oh, you can stay with us.

Did Gwen tell. That she still has feelings for me.

Uh, Gwe Gwen. No, no, no, no. Actually it’s just, uh, just an impression I got Say no more. Your daughter has to come first. But for the record, Jack, if you did take us both on. I’ve never lead Gwen on and Gwen’s determined to get her life back on track too, and I wanna support her in that, help her make better decisions than she has in the past.

So, you know, support her to, to learn from her mistakes so that she doesn’t make them again. Oh, come on Gwen. I’m not gonna ask you to do anything that you haven’t done before. That’s what I’m afraid of. So what is it exactly that you want me to do? Help me get back at ej. What do you mean get back at ej?

As you know, I am not the kind of person who responds well to threats. EJ needs to pay. He needs to pay for thinking that he can threaten me and run me outta Salem. All right, so here’s the deal. I just need you to get close. Get him like you, and then No, no. I’m not going to infiltrate the Dara family. I’ve done that once before.

It turned out to be a bloody disaster. I’m not asking you to infiltrate anything. I am just asking you to cozy up to ej. I can’t. You can’t. While I certainly can’t because if he finds out that I am still here, he’s gonna have me arrested and thrown in Statesville. Oh. Oh, you remember Statesville? Yeah. That place that you begged me to break you out of and I.

No questions asked. That was only for a few hours and that is also because you threw me under the bloody bus. Okay. Well that is not the point is it? The point is, I was the only person who could help you back then. Just like you are the only person who can help me. No, we are even, and I don’t have to help you with anything.

Okay. You want me to beg? I’ll beg. I may not have a husband or a home or a job, but I’ve still got my dignity and I refuse to tuck my tail between my legs and run because ej Dara told me to, I don’t care if he hates me, that he will not disrespect me, and I would go after him myself if I could in a heartbeat, But I can.

I need help. I need your help. Come on Gwen. What do you have to lose?

Look, I am admitting to you that you’re right. Why is that so hard to accept? It’s never happened before. Like I said, I’ve had some time to cool off and reflect. And I came around on Ava, came around on something else too. Oh, you’ve always said that my place is here at Damara. You are right.

After years fighting me, you’ve just suddenly changed your mind. This, this whole thing with Ava has, has clarified a lot for me. You know, I. About loyalty, legacy, what I want in life, and that’s to work here with me. Guy. I know I’ve resisted it for a lot of years, but maybe to use your words. It’s time for me to grow up, learn the family business.

What are you working on these days anyway? Oh, dad, you’re uh, computer slacked. What’s your password?

Oh, it looks like someone else also forgot. We live in Seattle. No, I don’t get it inside. Joke. Oh, you guys have inside jokes now. That’s awesome. Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s not that funny. Okay, so when are you guys uh, headed back home? As soon as I hear from my mom Sure. Hasn’t been able to reach her. She all right?

I think so, but I just wanna make sure and then we can head back west. Well, I mean, we don’t have to leave quite yet. Oh, Kayla’s better now. I just assumed she’s not even outta the hospital. I think we should at least stick around and help out. And if Wendy’s gonna be staying with us, then well, I wouldn’t wanna get in the way.

Oh, my parents have a, a townhouse, plenty of space. Two guest bedrooms, which we’re sharing one and Stephanie has the other. Right. So you can move in with Steph and Wendy come back with me. Oh, well, you’s know step way more than I do, so it actually makes more sense if you move with Steph and when mugs with me.

Or I could just fuck with stuff, Dude. Why are you making this so difficult? I’m just trying to do what’s best for Wendy. So am I guys. I appreciate the offer, but I’m just gonna go find my own. Nice going dummy. What did I do guys? I offered Wendy a perfectly good option. Oh really? Cuz I don’t think her idea of perfect is rooming with you.

Okay. Time out. As entertaining as this is, you’re gonna have to take it someplace else because I have work to do. So see ya.

I seriously get out of here. Go.

Don’t, no hard feelings. Never. You my best mate. Well, thank you. Thank you for under. Now you’re saying you’re a couple of months behind in your bills that they’re in, correct? Yeah. But to stop the bleeding, Sarah and I decided to move back in with Uncle Bick and Maggie. Temporarily. Not our first choice, obviously, but it’ll help.

All right. Well, how about this? I’ll lend you a couple of bucks until you find something. It’s a lovely offer, Jack, but no, I’ll figure it out. I always do.

What have I got to lose? Only everything that matters to me. Quinn, you already lost Sander. I’m talking about my father right now. My, my main focus is being the daughter that he deserves. You know, recovering from being slammed into by a motor vehicle, I’m doing much better. Thank you for asking. I’m glad you’re doing all right.

Any idea when they’re gonna let you outta here today? Jack has, uh, invited me to stay with him. He’s even getting me a job at the newspaper. . I’m nicely done. No, Stop. This is not a con. By some miracle, he’s given me a chance to do things right and there is no way I’m gonna muck it up. So whatever this scheme is that you are cooking up with ej, I’m out.

Well, you’re really turning me down.

I have root for you though. I hope you do it, Ava. I hope you make EJ pay

my password. Let’s see.

I was raw. Uh, a what? Johnny, You don’t belong behind a desk. You’re an artist.

You don’t, you don’t want me at Damara. Of course I do. I’d love nothing more than to have my son by my side. But you wouldn’t be happy here. You usually be out there creating, following your vision, bringing it, bringing it to life, like, I don’t know, Dad, the last vision I tried to bring to. It didn’t turn out so well.

You’re not gonna let a little thing like demonic possessions stop you from achieving your dreams, are you? If you can be the devil, you can beat anyone.

You’re right. Anyway, I’ve got a lot of work to do up, undo all the damage Gabby did as CEO is a lot bigger task than I imagine. Well, I’ll leave you to it then. Mm-hmm.

Hey, any luck? Nope. Security is so tight on my brother’s work Emails like trying to break into Fort Knox. How about you? My dad walked in on me. I went through his desk and does he know your Aja? Not a chance.

That’s correct. I want tied to security on all of the mirror’s, devices, desktops, laptops, phones, and as the head of it, I want you to personally oversee its upgrades. No, there is no active threat, but not everyone is happy about the recent change in leadership that you could never be too careful. Okay, thank you.

You okay? Sure. Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be, Gabby, you just signed your divorce papers. That had to be very difficult. Uh, Lee, what are you, what are you doing here? Isn’t this the first day? You being ej second in command, You know, that’s just temporary, right? Yeah. I love you and I, and I trust you. I know you’re looking out for me and that I’m biting time until I can get rid of EJ in all the other Demaris, and then I’ll just be you and me.

Shin Hernandez Enterprises.

Oh, he. Shim. I liked Mando. Oh, believe me. I know.

Well, Gwen, ready to blow this joint and head. Yeah, that sounds really nice. And Dad, yeah, thank you for giving me this chance and for still believing in me even after all the ways that I’ve disappointed you. It’s not gonna happen again. This time. It’s gonna be different. I’m going to be. And I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that you’re proud of me.

All of a sudden, Glen’s chips has a conscience. Now what? Where am I gonna find someone to help me? No, no, no. Phyllis, of course. I’m not trying to avoid you or your. You’ve been sending text messages as well. That’s strange. I I never got them, but I’m so glad you caught me because I do have some good news for him.

Yes. I, I’m finally getting out of your hair. I found a new place to live. Well, obviously I know I have to settle up. Remind me, uh, how much exactly do I own that much? And tell me, does the Salem in offer an installment plan? Cause I had a line on a job, but it fell through, so I just need a little bit of time.

Legal action, Darling. Phyllis, I’m sure it’s not gonna come to that. No, no, no. Don’t worry darling. I will find a way to come up with the money.

Problem solved.

You still haven’t told me why you came back here.

After what we just did. You’re still thinking about that . I mean, I’m curious. My sister texted me saying she was gonna stop by. Oh, she did? What’d she want? Well, um, she wanted to see if you would reconsider hiring her here at Damara and. But since you’re refusing, she was hoping I would hire her myself, but since you’re not CEO anymore, but if I was, I would hire her in a heartbeat.

And your sister’s a rockstar.

You’re not the first person today to remind me of her talents.

Maybe I do need to reconsider. Yeah. Maybe you should, unless you know you’re intimidated by powerful, strong women.

Okay. I just got a text from my mom. Is she okay? She’s fine. Thank God. She says she’s gonna check in again soon. And now that we know both of our moms are okay, we can head it back out to Seattle. Man, you’re pretty anxious to get back. Because you know, if we stay when you’ll choose me. Well, I mean, she definitely would choose me, but, uh, I’m actually just saving you the humiliation.

I don’t want let everyone to see my little brother crying. Okay.

You know, she’s into mma. No way. Mm-hmm. , dude, she can hack into anything. She’s a badass poker player and she likes mma. Mm-hmm. , she’s like the perfect woman. To Wendy picking the best Johnson, or, you know what I mean? You know what I mean? I do. And I will drink it there.

Who’s a Lee? Oh my God. Oh my God. He just offered me a position at Damara here in Salem. A good one. Congrats. Congrats. You, Uh, you got what you wanted, so I guess that means we won’t be working together anymore. Sure Will. If my brother and your dad got this Dr. Wolf guy to mess with Stephan’s head, I wanna know.

And my new job puts us one step closer to finding out the truth.

Stephan, I’m starting to worry about you. Everything okay? It is now. Just got divorced. It’s done. Yes, my widow and I just put pen to paper. Once the judge signs off, it’ll be official. I’m very happy for you, brother. It must be over the moon. Gabby Hernandez is out of your life forever.
